Apple recently announced the software update for iOS 6.1.3. Several users have reported battery drain issues after they have updated to iOS 6.1.3, meaning that their device (iPad, iPhone, or iPod) depletes its battery more quickly than it should according to Apple's specs. You may want to try the following tips to fix your poor battery problem. Here are some things you can try.
Following solution was provided, courtesy of fellow Apple Support Communities member Markbob917:
1. Go to settings.
2. Mail, contacts, calendars.
3. Go into iCloud and turn all switches to OFF one by one make sure you save all to iPhone though not just delete.
4. Then go to each other mail account and repeat this procedure again making sure you select keep on iPhone not the delete option.
5. Once they're all turned to off check your calendar to see if everything is missing off it and then you need to do a hard reset by holding the home button and the on/off button until the phone turns itself off.
6. Once it's come back on go back into settings and mail and turn each switch (or each you want) back to ON.
7. Then make sure all your apps are closed lock the phone and leave it for 30 mins and then check the battery hopefully if like mine it shouldn't of dropped at all.
You can improve your battery life significantly by changing a few simple settings (see this article and this). Please read this article related to prolonging your battery's life. Also, read these suggested ways to maximize your iPod, iPhone or iPad battery life provided by Apple.

How To Prevent Too Much Facial Oil Secretion
I know many people have issues with the amount of oil secretion on their face. Well, I'm one of them too. In this post, i'd reveal some of my go-to ways of preventing excess oil on my face. ° Reduce the amount of oily edibles you take in. These includes; groundnuts, stew (Nigerian), fried plantain, akara, etc ° Wash your face every morning and evening. ° Always carry your choice of makeup wipes or soft tissue paper in your bag. This comes in handy for damping your face during the day, softly, especially your T-zone. It absorbs the oil which sets your face long enough till you are ready to touch-up or wash your face. ° Moisturizers:"People who have oily skin often steer clear of moisturizers, worrying that they'll make their skin look even shinier," Kazin says. That's a bad idea. "Even oily skin needs to be moisturized to look its best," she says. To avoid an oily sheen, choose an oil-free moisturizer. Vary the amount you apply depending on whether the area tends to be dry or oily. ° Facial treatments like masks and clays can be reduced to once a week or to special events. It's not an everyday thing like we thought when we were growing up. ° Find out when your face secrets more oil. For some, it's there hormones, season, weather, etc ° Talk to a dermatologist.

Fall river gorge bird hike (partner event)
Indigo buntings like this one have been seen in higher numbers since FMR and community volunteers have been restoring the rare oak savanna and other sites in the Minneapolis River Gorge. (Photo by Gareth Rasberry CC WikiCommons)
Please note that FMR is not taking registration for this event. RSVP to the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden at 612.370.4903.
Enjoy a naturalist-led walk looking for the earliest spring migrants along the Mississippi River flyway in Minneapolis.
FMR is proud to support this bird walk organized and led by the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden in Minneapolis Regional Parks.
Participants will meet at the parking lot at East 36th Street and West River Parkway. Many River Gorge Stewards volunteers will recognize this spot. Just off the main trail here is the rare oak savanna they've been restoring for years in partnership with Minneapolis Parks and the National Park Service. Years ago, it was full of buckthorn. Now, it's a thriving oak savanna and prairie known for providing important bird habitat in our local stretch of the flyway.
This event is free and binoculars will be made available. (But if you have your own or some to share, please do bring them.) It will follow the same route as the September 29 hike.
To register, contact the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden at 612.370.4903.

Source of the following article Persuasive Litigator.
By Dr. Ken Broda-Bahm:
It seems like the simplest piece of witness advice imaginable: Answer the question. But, at least judging by the number of times a witness doesn't quite answer the question, it is a little more complicated than that. For a variety of reasons, many witnesses end up dodging the question. That can be a purposeful (and unwise) strategy, or more likely, it can be accidental or more apparent than real. But in nearly all cases, a perceived dodge is going to be more harmful to credibility than an honest answer would have been. Even when it is an answer that hurts you on some level, you do less harm in the end by giving the honest answer without a dodge. When the lawyer on the other side has to fight for you to just focus on the question, or pursue you for an answer, then it just serves to highlight the bad fact that you're desperately trying to avoid.
When an audience believes you're dodging, that hurts your credibility. Now, recent research (Clementson, 2017) shows that as well. The study in the current issue of Journal of Language and Social Psychology looked at a younger sample of university students as well as an older sample outside the university. Each group was shown a video of a politician either answering or dodging a question by changing topics. The results? For both groups, they're exactly what you would expect: The perceived dodge reduces the trustworthiness of the speaker. The author, David E. Clementson of Ohio State University, believes that this is because people speculate and ruminate on the reasons for an apparent unwillingness to answer the question. In short, as summed up by the title of a write-up of the study in Research Digest, "When you dodge the question, it makes you look dodgy." In this post, I'll look at some of the ways a witness can avoid looking dodgy by avoiding the purposeful, the accidental, and the apparent dodge.
The Purposeful Dodge: Don't Do It
If there is a fact or some other kind of admission that you think would make you look bad, then it is tempting to try to avoid that. It is human nature. But here's one critical and unavoidable fact that each witness needs to take to heart: You're not going to be able to avoid answering the tough questions. Try to avoid them, and all you're going to do is look even worse for trying and failing to avoid the question. If a given fact damages you, then take that as a given, find the best answer the facts allow and give that answer the first time the question is asked, without making the questioner work for it. Not only will you be protecting, perhaps even enhancing, your credibility by making that admission, you'll also reduce the amount of emphasis that an audience will place on that answer. After all, if it takes just one question and answer, and not 17 questions and answers, as counsel chases you for an answer and tries to pin you down, then the issue ends up occupying a lot less time.
The Accidental Dodge: Pay Attention
The accidental dodge is when you think you're answering, but you're not. For example, opposing counsel asks you, "Did you see this memo before September 5th?" and you begin talking about the memo, what it says, why it was written, and what your reactions to it are. You aren't trying to be evasive. In fact, you're doing the opposite and sharing information like crazy (which is almost as bad as being evasive). The problem is that the question wasn't, "Tell me all you know or think about the memo," the question is, "Did you see it before September 5th?" Witnesses sometimes make common listening mistakes, reacting to the intent behind the question, answering what they predict will be the next question, or simply treating the question like a topic and not like a question. Witnesses need some practice being careful and literal in their listening. The example I like to use: If someone asks you if you know what time it is, the answer is "Yes," not "Ten o'clock." And the answer certainly isn't, "Here's how I'd build a watch…"
The Apparent Dodge: Make it Clear
The apparent dodge occurs when you believe that you are answering, but an observer might think that you're not. Based on your word choice and structure, at least the early part of your answer seems to be a dodge rather than an answer. For example, if opposing counsel asks you, "Did you review the documents," and you know the answer is "No," but you want to break out of the "Just yes or no" trap and think an additional qualification or explanation is necessary, you might start your answer by saying, "My role in the transaction was complex, and there was a full team involved, so…" You might intend to add the "No," once you get to it, but in the meantime, you risk counsel or the judge becoming irritated and possibly interrupting, and you risk the jury perceiving that you are dodging rather than answering. The best advice in this sort of situation is to put the answer first so everyone knows you are answering and not dodging. If counsel jumps in with the next question after hearing the "Yes" or the "No," then there's a risk that you'll not get a chance to provide the full explanation. But it's a small risk, since your own lawyer is there to make sure you have an opportunity to provide a complete answer — you should not be cut off. But in any case, even if you are, your own credibility is protected since the jury or other ultimate audience would know that you are not dodging and you are trying to provide an explanation.

Tello is an iPhone app and Android-friendly mobile site that lets consumers rate the local businesses they deal with. Sounds like Yelp? Not really. For one thing, Tello encourages brevity, not rambling reviews: You give a thumbs up or a thumbs down, plus a brief comment. For another, it lets you rate individual employees at a business, letting you alert folks about staffers who are uncommonly good or unacceptably bad.
And now Tello is launching a new feature called Business Replies that's designed to turn its bottom-line ratings into a conversation between customers and companies.
If a company has signed up for Business Replies, Tello will let it see the comments that consumers have posted, plus analytical data about the responses. It can respond to consumers individually, either to resolve problems or just acknowledge that it's listening.
Tello is offering a basic business account that lets a company receive replies for up to three locations, and doesn't let it respond. But the ad-free service sees this new feature as a revenue generator: For $99 a month, larger retail businesses can cover more locations and send responses.
Tello doesn't have any news at the moment about which companies it's working with, but founder Joe Beninato told me that it hopes to sign up some major national chains in the months to come, and envisions them putting up signage encouraging customers to use Tello as a feedback forum.

Gecko Tattoo Design Meanings - A very popular lizard for tattoo designs is the gecko, which appears often in Polynesian tribal tattoos. The gecko is supposed to have supernatural powers, and is regarded by Polynesians with fear and awe. It is rumored that if a green gecko "laughs" at you, it's a terrible omen of illness and bad fortune.
Just as the lizard is able to drop its tail in order to escape danger, so the lizard totem shows us the principles of letting go and self-protection.

I blink and we're two weeks into 2014 already!
The year has started out strong. The Eminent Spouse has settled in to teaching and I may have had a breakthrough with Korean. I've really struggled with language production even though I have very little issues with the conceptual side of the language. I think it is due to the similarities between Japanese and Korean and it's proving extremely difficult to overcome my natural inclination to create high-level sentences.
Because the grammar is so similar, my brain wants to use Korean in the same way I use Japanese. In the long run this is going to be a big boon, I believe, but for the first few months its been excruciating. I just don't (or didn't) have the grammar currency in Korean to cash the checks my brain was writing. It's getting easier as I've learned more of the essential grammar and now its a matter of learning sufficient vocabulary and getting the grammar tools down in rote memory so they can just pop out instead of being explicitly processed every time. Last week I had a few class sessions where I felt that I was understanding the teacher's side of things and producing my half of the conversation without too much delay or relying on help from the teacher. It was fun and hopefully portends well for my performance from here on out.
Other than school, the Eminent Child has been assigned as a Printer for their colonial life social science module. We had to go pick up some rubber stamps at the craft shop for her project demonstrating the work of colonial era newspaper printers. Fun stuff.
Not much else of note, I suppose. We did start watching Malcolm in the Middle on Netflix. Good stuff, but I had a parenting self-check when I realized that Netflix censors MitM from under-12 Kids' accounts. I don't know if our family enjoyment of the show makes me a good or bad parent.

The other weekend Elicia and I stayed in Yeosu and began exploring the many islands off our beautiful city of Yeosu. We visited Geumodo Island with our friends Victoria and Brennan and we had a blast hiking! We were excited to explore more of the islands off Yeosu, and our car would once again come handy to get us to a ferry terminal "off the beaten path".
On September 14 we drove south and west of Yeosu with our friends Cory and Michelle. Our destination? The Baekyado Ferry Terminal, which is near one of our favorite beaches called Jangdeung Beach, about 45min away from Yeosu. We would catch a ferry at 8:00am, the first of four options per day (one ferry drives the circuit 4x per day). If you live in the Yeosu area and want to get to the Baekyado Ferry Terminal, you can plan on a somewhat expensive taxi ride (40 minutes) OR hop on bus #28 at the bus terminal-side of the street by eMart. First bus is 5:40am, last bus is 9:10pm, running every 30 minutes.
This time, we would first visit Sado Island for a few hours and Elicia documented that here, and then we'd stop at Hahwado Island to hike the 5.7km course around the perimeter of the amazing island. Here's a map of the islands off Yeosu as well as the 5.7km trail map of Hahwado Island.
The trail starts right at the pier at Hahwado. There's a small mart where you can grab snacks, and there's also a restaurant or two if you're in need of some proper Korean eats. Well, we headed left to persue the hiking trail in a clock-wise fashion. The trail wasn't too difficult; there's not a huge mountain or anything, so it's mostly walking/strolling/trekking. The 5.7km trail takes 2-3 hours to complete. We took our time, took several pictures, and it took us 2.5 hours. Here's a few pics of the left (west) and top (north) side of the island:
Unfortunately the gray skies moved in, and we got rained on a little bit. Not enough to pull out the ponchos, but enough to make us hide under a pagoda (a little Korean shelter to stop and rest or eat some food). A nice group of Korean folks joined us, it was great to chat with them in broken Korean and English.
We carried on to the eastern-most (right) part of Hahwado Island, and things just got more and more beautiful! Stunning cliffs and beautiful overlooks with views of more islands surrounded by turquoise water.
It had stopped raining, and the weather was perfect! It was an excellent end to the hike. The route back to the pier where we'd catch the ferry back to Baekyado was flat and followed the coastline.
We stumbled upon this brand new, German-like bathroom:
What a day! Sado and Hahwado Islands were amazing! I'd definitely recommend Hahwado Island if you're looking for an easier hike with plenty of great views.

High-end makeup brands like Urban Decay, Tom Ford and Anastasia Beverly Hills seem to have a stronghold on the eyeshadow palette market, but that doesn't mean you can't find impressive options at a lower price point. Sure, lots of drugstore palettes are, admittedly, ideal for entry-level users. However, there is a handful out there that even makeup artists keep in their kits. Prioritizing quality above all else, we asked several pros to share which budget eyeshadow palettes were their favorites.

Anne Curtis is busy filming for Blood Ransom
On my way to the office today while listening to The Morning Rush on the Radio, Delamar mentioned about the upcoming movie of Anne Curtis. I know that she's in the US filming a movie but didn't know the details until now. May 23, Anne Curtis bid goodbye to her It's Showtime family saying that she will be out of the country for a month to pursue her dreams. At that time, she didn't go into the details. After the news of Anne leaving her noontime show, Ogie Diaz broke the news on Twitter. According to him the reason Anne was leaving Showtime was because she landed a full-length role in a Hollywood film. Anne in response denied his statement "mali po kayo".
Delamar, being an avid fan of Anne Curtis said that she was really intrigue by the recent tweets from Anne like saying goodbye and having her boyfriend cook for her, and the last tweet was about her leaving on a plane. Anne broke her silence and eventually admitted that she's filming a Holywood movie in the US called "Blood Ransom".
Via her official Twitter account, Curtis shared that she's shooting the film "Blood Ransom" in California.
"Blood Ransom. Coming soon.https://www.facebook.com/BloodRansom," Curtis tweeted.
She also shared that she's not the only Filipino actor who's part of movie, but did not give names.
"@vidaesperros im not the only filipino :)," she said.
Curtis also revealed that the name of the character that she will portray is Crystal.
Blood Ransom is produced by Tectonic Films and directed by Francis dela Torre, the same director who helmed Jericho Rosales' Subject: I Love You. Anne Curtis' Blood Ransom is set for a 2013 release.
Aside from Anne who plays the role of Crystal, the movie also stars Clifton Powell as Detective Hobbs and Jamie Harris as Bill. Suzette Ranillo is also in the cast as Tita Paz.
Puting pang-Dyosa ni Anne Curtis!
I just have to post this for the benefit of my sanity! I've been on LSS (Last Song Syndrome) – ing on her commercial's theme song. To those who wants the lyrics for the song I also posted it below 🙂 Now let's all sing together… 1, 2, 3… GO! Hahaha!
Fair, like a goddess…
With your touch divine
Just one week in time
My skin's whiter…oooh so bright
Now I'm fair, so fair
Para sa putting pang dyosa. Like a goddess…
Para sa putting pang dyosa.

When we think of the Great Lakes region, we think of relaxed summer days on the water, crisp fall hikes and winter weekends at the cabin with friends, sipping cocktails. There is a warmth that can be felt throughout each season thanks to an abundance of cherry trees and a healthy dose of midwestern charm. We set out to capture this warmth in our Cocktail Cherries-Great Lakes edition with tart hints of bourbon, vanilla bean, cinnamon, rose and peppercorn.

Mutually Assured Paranoia
"My factories may make an end of war sooner than your congresses. The day when two army corps can annihilate each other in one second, all civilized nations, it is to be hoped, will recoil from war and discharge their troops." Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite, 1909
"The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner." Omar Bradley, U.S. Army General, 1948
John von Neumann, whose genius as a mathematician and scientist earned him a spot on the Manhattan Project, later used game theory to develop the Cold War's Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) doctrine. Deployed in the United States by "Whiz Kid" Robert McNamara, its theory goes something like this:
With the use of nuclear armed ICBM submarines, a unilateral nuclear strike by either the United States of the Soviet Union would be met with a second strike on the aggressor, thus ensuring the destruction of both.
In a classic case of reductio ad absurdum, this folly was perfectly demonstrated in the 1964 film, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. And while the ridiculous nature of this doctrine passed for foreign policy, we did not destroy the earth. Whether this is a case of post hoc, ergo propter hoc or whether MAD should be credited for carrying us through our nuclear infancy is a matter for others to debate. Either way, we can all agree that the acronym is befitting the doctrine.
Apply this now to the NRA's dream of a fully armed America as a means of ultimate protection. Every man, woman and child carrying an AR-15 with them at all times with a pistol in their sock, you know, just in case. Reductio ad absurdum? Or America: 2013? Unlike the quote from Gautama Buddha, who said, "Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared," it seems to me that the ubiquitous availability of firearms would lead to casualties beyond imagination due to the deadly combination of man's incendiary temper and the impossible retrieval of a bullet once fired. If this be so, then mankind is neither mature enough nor evolved enough to have firearms. If we were, we wouldn't need them. Because we're not, we shouldn't be allowed them. Anything less casts us as troglodytes, monsters and condemned to live a life in mutually assured paranoia.
As McNamara later said, "One cannot fashion a credible deterrent out of an incredible action."

The 'growing issue' of homeless people sleeping in bins
The number of homeless people found sleeping rough in recycling bins is growing, according to one of the biggest waste management firms in the UK. Why is this happening?
"In the park, you do get abused and kicked and stuff like that. The other night… a few young guys were walking past, and one of them just booted me right in the face.
"But in the bins you can hide so nobody can see you. It's kind of warm, nobody knows you are there," George explains on the streets of Bristol.
He has been homeless since he lost his engineering job before Christmas, leaving him unable to pay the rent.
George is one of a growing number of people in the UK found sleeping rough in large commercial recycling bins, according to the waste management firm Biffa.
In the year to March 2014 it discovered people in its commercial bins on 31 separate occasions. A year later that had risen to 93, and in the current year – which runs to the end of March – the figure stands at 175 so far.
Biffa believes its higher figures are a result of a combination of factors, including better reporting, a rise in rough sleeping and shops recycling more dry waste such as cardboard and plastic – making the bins more attractive places in which to shelter.
Find out more
You can watch Jim Reed's full film on the Victoria Derbyshire website.
The firm Veolia also says it is trying to raise awareness of the problem and get its staff to record the number of rough sleepers. They found two in January.
Jason Marriott, from the charity Framework Housing Association, says rough sleeping is "dangerous and isolating" and "damages people's mental and physical health".
"Contrary to what many people believe," he adds, "most people don't sleep in shop doorways [but] tend to hide themselves away in places where they feel safer and are less visible to other people".
Mr Marriott has been working with bin lorry drivers to help protect rough sleepers, but says such programmes can only do so much when "services designed to help homeless people are being cut back".
Homeless Link, which represents homeless charities, claimed 41% of accommodation projects in 2015 had "experienced a decrease in their funding since the last financial year", with 40% reporting no change and 8% having an increase in funding.
But homelessness minister Marcus Jones said the government has "increased central funding to tackle homelessness over the next four years to £139 million".
George says he has tried to get into the local homeless shelter, but "there is a big waiting list, a huge queue… The staff bend over backwards to help, but there's no space."
The only dedicated night shelter in Bristol has 18 beds. It says it turns away that many again on a typical night, and sometimes many more.
Risk of fatality
The situation is particularly serious because sleeping in recycling bins can have severe consequences.
Depending on the type of collection truck used, the containers can be lifted six metres high before the contents are tipped into the vehicle's compactor.
George vividly remembers the "clank, clank, clank" of one truck nearing a bin in which he was lying, half-asleep. He managed to jump out in time, but other incidents have been fatal.
Figures from the Environmental Services Association show there have been at least eleven deaths since October 2010 caused by people sheltering or sleeping in bins.
The remains of Matthew Symonds, 34, were found at Biffa's plant in Avonmouth in mid-2014. He is thought to have slept in a bin at the back of a shopping centre in Swindon, before one of the firm's drivers picked up the container.
Mr Symonds had been turned away from a homeless shelter after arriving too late to enter.
Biffa's head of safety Tim Standring believes the company could not have acted differently to avoid the "absolutely devastating" outcome.
"We've got evidence that the driver checked the bin," he continues. "And that's the worrying thing about this, no matter how well we check our containers there's absolutely no guarantee that we're going to find everybody."
The company says it is working to ensure its drivers report all instances of people found "in or around" waste containers, but it also says its customers – businesses and shops – have a responsibility to lock their bins overnight to stop people getting injured.
These customers could be taken to court if the locks are not used, but in practice this does not happen.
When we joined driver Barry Croker on one of his morning rounds, around half the bins we came across at the back of one set of shops were left open and completely unlocked.
The firm now trains its drivers to look for signs that homeless people have been sleeping in the area and to double-check each bin before it is lifted up.
"There could be clues – could be cigarette packets, or bottles of alcohol [outside the container]," Barry explains, as he tests each lid.
When one opens, he shifts the top layers of cardboard and plastic from side to side, before banging on the side.
No-one is inside on this occasion, but we have heard from drivers who – despite warnings – have found the same people sleeping in the same bins night after night.
All the firm's trucks now contain cameras in the vehicle's hopper – or compactor – that allow drivers to see what is being tipped inside.
If someone is hiding in the bottom of a container drunk or passed out they could still be missed by initial checks, so this final stage is designed to add an extra safeguard.
The only sure-fire way to reduce the risk, however, is to cut the number of people sleeping rough.
Figures released by the Department for Communities and Local Government in February 2016 suggest England has seen an increase of 30% in a year, to 3,569.
Bristol recorded the second highest total of all local authorities, behind Westminster, which may mean – for now – the city's problem is only getting worse

When I die, will you paint me
Young again…?
Eyes set forward, without tears for Ethan's cancer at age six (he was here oh-so-briefly)
Brow long and high, not with wrinkles borne of worry for
Kaitlin's solo, Jonathan's baseball championship, and later
Kaitlin's failing marriage, Jonathan's lost job, and even later
Burying Jim after thirty-six years of happily and not-so-happily
Married life?
Will you paint me innocent? Free from fear?
Yet I look in the mirror at my
aged face,
tired eyes,
wrinkled hands…
Hands once delicately fingering a piano, rolling a cookie, painting a homecoming poster
And I wonder
If each mark of age represents an
unspoken experience,
valuable wisdom,
immeasurable compassion,
Would I trade it all back for a young face, thick hair, and soft hands?

The Galapagos Islands are located at the Equator so there is not a lot of seasonal variation. Air temperatures tend to run in the 70s-80s year round, slightly warmer from January-April. The climate is relatively dry, though the majority of precipitation falls from January-April as well. Water temperatures tend to vary significantly as the cold Humboldt current comes up from Antarctica from approximately May- November. Expect water temperatures in the 60s to low 70s during this season and in the 70s the rest of the year. Keep in mind that this also means that snorkeling is coldest during this season so the opposite months (December – April) are best for travelers snorkeling without a wet suit. The Humboldt current is strongest in September and October, so the water will be a little choppier during these months.
In general, you can visit the Galapagos year round and have a wonderful experience! TIP: Avoid the school holidays (especially August and Christmas) if you want to avoid the crowds and take advantage of special rates. Booking in advance is always highly recommended for the largest selection of available yachts.

No, for the last time, LCD Soundsystem are not getting back together.
That's what James Murphy reiterated in his facebook post earlier today. Personally, I'd love to see the band get back together for a tour (I came into the LCD craze all too late), but at the same time, what they have is what they have. Short, yet effective. Sometimes, that's the best way to go.
Jack White has been a busy, busy man. Not only was he at the forefront of Record Store Day, but he also opened his "vinyl-recording booth" as MSTARZ News puts it. In the booth, musicians can make a two minute vinyl recording. Not only that, but White and Neil Young are recording together, and White covered Lorretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter." Just further proof of White being a Renaissance Man of rock and roll.
Despite the fun and festivities of Record Store Day, the reality of the nature of music market is continuing to take its toll on record stores across America. Bleecker Bob's Golden Oldies, renowned record store in New York City, closed for good April 13, 2013. The store was a favorite for musicians, music enthusiasts and celebrities alike, as it was in Fred Armisen's SNL intro and a favorite place for Armisen. SPIN does a great feature story on the store, its owner, and its legacy. Close to my heart for me are the troubles that The Sound Garden in Syracuse is facing. The Sound Garden said that they will "pull up stakes and move… elsewhere" according to syracuse.com if an ordinance enforcing greater scrutiny on secondhand media, such as vinyl, doesn't get revised.

Want to Be a Steadicam Operator? Start With These 5 Tips
There's no better way to learn Steadicam than to practice, but you need to begin with the basics.
Steadicam operating is a true craft that can take a lifetime to master. I've been Steadicam operating for over seven years and I'm still always learning, honing, and practicing my technique.
With the advent of gimbals, Steadicams have taken a back seat for many of today's filmmakers, but I believe they remain the right tool for the right job. Gimbals are new and exciting tech but not a full 360 solution. And while I think the future is a hybrid of the two, there is still a reason to understand the basics of flying and operating the Steadicam.
When I first started out, I read books, watched Youtube videos, and searched forums—but there just wasn't enough out there for me to grasp the basic operating concepts. With the high cost of entry coupled with the specialized aspects of operating, Steadicams are one of those true craftsman skills that you just can't learn completely online. That being said, I will share some basic tips here that will give you the fundamental understanding you need to get started. By no means will you be up and running with these tips, but hopefully this will inspire you to discover your own best path to flying.
"My first Steadicam, a Tiffen Pilot, had me strapped in velcro, which was weird, but totally enough."
1. Know the parts
The arm. For me, the arm is the heart of the Steadicam. The arm becomes an extension of your body, connection to the sled, and is the central stabilizer for all movements. The arm usually consists of two segments that are supported by springs. While they all do basically the same thing, arms vary in size, strength, and price.
The sled. The sled is the vessel that becomes one with the camera rig. Camera, matte box, follow focus, power, monitor, all become a part of the sled, much like a tripod. The sled consists of a top stage, arm, monitor, battery rack, and gimbal. Ultimately, the sled has to balance on the gimbal to achieve dynamic balance (which we will get into later). While the sled must be robust enough to carry up to 80 lbs., it must also have hairline precision.
The vest. The vest connects your body to the arm, which connects to the sled, which makes you look like one gigantic cyborg looking bad ass. In the beginning, when cameras were over 50 lbs., the vests were just as robust, but as cameras have gotten lighter, so has the tech on the vests. Ultimately, the vest allows the weight and momentum of the rig to be placed on the body which has lot more power than your arms. My first Steadicam, a Tiffen Pilot, had me strapped in velcro, which was weird, but totally enough.
2. Understand balance and drop time
There are three aspects that I find to be the most important when balancing a sled: dynamic balance, drop time, and horizon. But what does balancing a sled even mean? Well, the sled must be able to achieve a neutral balance at the point of the gimbal on the sled so that when there is lateral movement, the camera floats effortlessly. How does one achieve this?
First, you need to position the camera, power, monitor, accessories and gimbal position on the sled to achieve dynamic balance. Basically, you need to get the all the elements of the sled on the top and the bottom to be balanced with the adjustable gimbal. This is done with major and minor adjustments on the top stage and bottom stage.
Next, Drop time, which is the amount of time the sled will drop from horizontal to vertical on the gimbal. You place the sled on a solid, beefy baby to fine tune the gimbal post position on the arm. The goal is to get a drop time of about 3 seconds. This will allow the operator the best options for flying.
I know all of this is hard to visualize, but doing it and seeing it in real life will answer all your questions.
3. When flying, let the rig do the work
Flying the rig is actually quite simple. Strap the vest on, attach the arm to the vest, then throw the sled on the arm. Rest your hand on the gimbal arm, and with your other hand feather the gimbal grip.
My main advice for the beginner is to let the rig do the work. The initial intuition is to control the rig and fight the springs and movements. The Steadicam is an ingenious invention, but true control is built around allowing the rig to do the work.
I could write pages about the movements, but you probably won't get it until you try it on. Flying a Steadicam is much like riding a bike. There is nothing better to help you understand it than to just go ahead and try it.
4. Be diligent about mastering your skills
The one thing I'll say about Steadicam is that it's a tool, and a tool is useless if you don't know how to work it properly. Read this book,The Steadicam Operator's Handbook. Find a mentor, like I did with one of the best steadicam ops I know, BJ McDonnell, who gave me my first lesson. Take a class. Develop the right habits. Then, practice forever.
5. Consider investing in gear
Steadicams are expensive, and the initial investment is always tremendous. The pro gear rigs can cost upwards of 80K, while the smaller ones can cost 1-2K. My first Steadicam was a Tiffen Pilot and, although that was a major purchase, I couldn't fly anything bigger than DSLR. At the time it was fine, but as time went on, I upgraded to a Steadicam Zephyr. While the Zephyr can't fly the big rigs, it can fly most of the cameras that I get jobs for with a max camera weight of 25 lbs.
There are a multitude of rigs out there and I'll do a big review of those on No Film School. Like cameras, they all have their quirks like cameras but fundamentally they all do the same thing. Find the rig that you can afford and see if you even enjoy the process. Steadicam is not for everyone and its a big commitment. I find the steadicamforum.com a great resource for user reviews on all the rigs out there.
We don't view the world in handheld. We see it in a balanced, dynamic, mobile perspective. The Steadicam enhances this perspective and creates a visual that is unique and special.
At about 16:00 in of this video, you can see me showing the basics of flying the rig.

One great way to learn how to operate a Steadicam is to go to a workshop. I personally attended to the Tiffen 2 day workshop when I bought my first rig (a Zephyr), then went to the week long SOA workshop in Pennsylvania, with Garrett Brown and many other talented operators. Yes, a workshop is not cheap, they will teach you how to operate properly and avoid to hurt yourself. A hundred times worth it. I now own a GPI PRO Cine Live system and love working with it! -- Victor Lazaro www.victorlazaro.com

I agree. The steadicam hybrid is really nice as it stabilizes the up and down movements of the 3 axis gimbal which tends to get pretty heavy. If you're a traditional steadicam user combining these 2 technologies not only feels right but gives awesome results. Here's a link to what i currently own http://supamods.com/3-axis-gimbal/ronin-steadicam/

I wouldn't say that Dynamic balance is one of the most important aspects of operating (Really the most important aspect of operating is well, operating)
But if you really want to learn Dynamic balance is very simple and can be done a lot better and faster than the video you show.
Okay folks gather round, questions will be answered and AH-HA moments will be had. To do the 90 drop/Mickey method there is a bit of rig prep to do and a special tool. Tool wise you need a lower post support/mickey with low drag bearings.The freer it spins the better. Also the closer to co-planer the sled is the better this works
Rig prep is as follows:
Remove the Upper J-box and anything bolted to it, No follow focus units no camera stages no nothing, that is all above the gimbal weight and you're not balancing that just yet.
Slide the gimbal all the way to the top
Place the center post on the "Mickey" and the gimbal yoke on the balance stud as if to balance. The REALLY correct way is for it to be inline with the rotation axis of the post.
Make sure the post is level
Rotate the post so that the batteries and the monitor are parallel to the floor.
Balance the batteries and monitor so they sit level to floor.
Rotate the post so that the batteries and monitor are now up and down 90 degrees to the previous orientation, Balance them side to side with the monitor.
Recheck the Batteries/Monitor level balance
Now rebuild the top stage and put your gimbal back down where it belongs.
Next time you put a camera on, the CG will go over the center post, it will require a small amount of back trim depending on how heavy your focus MDR's are
That's it your done. never again will you dynamically balance your rig unless you change components. Seriously it's that simple, it can be done in your workshop with our ever putting a camera on the top.
Fire away with any questions
September 9, 2016 at 2:27AM
Haha! Eric is right, as long as your monitor is coplanar to your batteries (The Zephyr isn't far from that, bue it has a center post that is not cully circular), this technique is bulletproof. If you raise your monitor's cg on the post then the Mickey technique starts to break down.

Tip #6: Be patient
I work in a camera store and we sell everything from silly $70 gimbals up to the Steadicam Pilot. I always make sure to lecture people on the fact that operating a stabilizer is a skill that takes time and patience to master. Even so I'd say that 50% of the rigs I sell come back because people are impatient and either unwilling or unable to learn how to fly.
Sometimes I feel guilty demonstrating the rigs because I make it look easier than it is.

beauty, Lord and King, majesty and splendor, Messiah Yeshua, miracle, nothingness, reality, temple, truth
An eternal place of rest
Temple of lasting peace
Shelter entered long ago
As a young man showered by Holy Spirit revelation
Divine mysteries steadily made known,
True Heavenly wisdom the only worthy cry and desire,
Earthly riches and treasures
All selfish wealth as vanity cast aside
Even as King Solomon prayed and wrote,
Repeated now in a more humble reckoning
While in a final gasp of will
The choice of reality freely given.
Then, miraculously the peace and joy of Holy Spirit rebirth received
Even when all hope lost
Nothingness, called death gripped
Worldly status quo, common delusional spiritual blindness.
As the only Messiah's resurrected life is made known
Sublime mysterious splendor of Yeshua slowly unveiled,
In the brilliance of new Light
His eternal majestic reality pours out upon inner eyes beginning to see,
The Prince of Peace royally crowned
With the Universe and more as King and Creator.
His crown worn with such open joy
Radiant face, flowing hair of supernatural white,
My greatest pleasure now-
To bow before our King,
My Lord and my King!

If you were in a plane and shot a bullet vertically down from a gun and dropped a bullet by hand, at the same time, would they reach the earth at the same time?Asked by: Jorgen
AnswerEven if you fire a bullet straight down from a plane at a high enough altitude for it to reach 'terminal velocity' before hitting the ground (that is when air resistance would slow the bullet until the force of gravity exactly balances drag and a constant fall rate is established) the bullet's initial velocity from the gun would still give it a head start and let it reach the ground before a dropped bullet that started from the same height at zero vertical velocity.

Christmas Danglies:
Wow! What a fabulous day I had yesterday at North Lancs Area Day. I just had to go because the speaker was none other than my good friend Janet. I have been privileged to have seen Janet's work on many occasions but there where pieces I had not seen. We have been friends now for quite some time and Janet still inspires and gives me hope, that one day I to will be able to produce such beautiful quilts. It was a great day which I thoroughly enjoyed. I met up with some friends and made a few new ones. I had a scrummy yummy piece of home-made Victoria sponge and was made very welcome by Margaret and Christine the area reps. The atmosphere was fun and relaxing, in the afternoon Janet did a work shop a Christmas tree ornament or dangley (as I like to call them). I did not do the work shop so I took the pattern home and here are my Christmas Danglies so far. The beauty about them is they are quick and easy to make and you can embellish them however you want. Thank you Janet for another great project and for being a true friend.

MMMMM á cushion maybe????
Last week I was given several quilted blocks and was asked if I could make them into a quilt. Unfortunately, the blocks where????? errrr! mmmm let me think? arh yes all different and a quilt was not the answer. I had to think on my feet and the only useful thing I could make were cushion covers. I picked out the best of the blocks which amounted to two and here they are. I was going to return the other ones to the lady who gave me them but mysteriously they disappeared. I can only assume they where accidently thrown out with the rubbish whoops!!!!!

Treasure Pot:
A couple of weeks a go another dear friend of mine had a bag bonanza and costume jewellery was on sale to. At the end of the day we still had a lots of necklaces, bracelets and earrings left. As I was helping to put them away it suddenly dawned on me! Many of the pieces of costume jewellery could be taken apart and would make fantastic embellishments. I donated a couple of pounds and filtered through the remaining items and here is the result. A lovely glass jar that holds the most wonderful treasure of beads of all shapes, colours, textures and sizes. I have already delved into my new treasure trove and embellished Judith's journal covers. The blue beads came form a bracelet and the read embellishments began life as a necklace. There is also the element of satisfaction that I have recycled and saved my self a few bob all at the same time. In this current financial climate that can only be all good.

A commission:
A couple of weeks ago a dear friend (Judith) commissioned me to make two journal covers one blue and the other red. I was excited and very flattered that she asked me. Other than the colour requirement the covers were left to my own imagination. I knew straight away the soldering iron had to come and off I went fusing and cutting voiles and felt. This project was great fun, just being able to go with the flow was so relaxing and very inspiring. I was so pleased with the end result and I hoped Judith would be to. Last night I gave Judith the books and held my breath. Phew!!!! she was delighted with them and even showed them to the Liverbirds at show and tell. I was so glad they got such a positive response, it has boosted my confidence no end.

Best laid plans:
Remember those plans I made several days ago, where I was going to finish the two little girls quilts? Well I managed to almost complete one before an awful stomach bug got a grip of me. I am still feeling a bit wobbly but glad to say on the mend and I am hoping to do a bit of sewing today. Just before the bug got me, I had the delightful company of my button (Michaela) and my beautiful little man, who is rapidly finding his feet.

Pink shock:
A few weeks ago my sister Natalie asked me to make her two baby quilts as gifts for her friends daughters.I could chose any design I wanted but both quilts had to have the girls names on and pink and white was the colour scheme. I was itching to make a start. As you can see I opted to use the delightful Sun Bonnet Sue block for Lorna's quilt and the delight bunny from Tone Finnagan's book Spring Gifts. As usual I ran out of fabric for the sashings and borders but a quick trip to Dots (Quilters Needs)solved that little Hick up. tonight I managed to finish both quilt tops and I am hoping to layer and quilt them tomorrow but you know what they say about the best laid plans and all that? so we shall see what happens. Natalie is delighted with both quilts and is looking forward to giving them to the little girls.

Left overs:
So what do I do with the left over 1 1/2 inch strips from my log cabin strippy quilt? Of course make a journal cover! Its been some time since I last made a journal cover and what with Christmas creeping round the corner I have been thinking about gifts. The front of the big journal was a left over block from the appliqué flowers, the front of the little journal was a stitchery design I doodled in my sketch book whilst in France. These journal covers are relatively quick to make, but best of all the make ideal gifts.

We'll beat the price up to 15 days after your purchase.
Never worry again about the best deal
Curacao is so confident in our lending practices and the Interest Rate that we offer, we have introduced our INTEREST BEAT GUARANTEE. This ensures that our customers can enjoy competitive interest rates
Curacao continually reviews its lending rates and tries to ensure that our customers pay competitive rates on their outstanding debt. In fact, some customers are offered an interest rate that is lower than the competition's store credit card, but we are not perfect. With Curacao's INTEREST BEAT GUARANTEE, we will not only match the competitor's interest rate, but we will BEAT it! That is our promise.
If you have an existing Curacao credit account, the account must be active and able to make purchases
A recent billing statement of the retailer store card that you wish us to beat within two billing cycles of the date that you make the request or a pre-approved offer from a retailer
Competitor's Pre-Approved offers must provide proof of offer with interest rate range stipulated in the offer, must be within 30 days of offer expiration
Invitation to Apply (ITA) offers are not eligible
The name and address on the billing statement or pre-approved offer must match the name and address on the Curacao account
For accounts with authorized users, the competitors card statement can be in either account user name. If you are an "authorized user" on the competitor retail store card, but not the party responsible for the store card account then please consider using a different store card in which you are the borrower on the credit account. (Statement online is incorrect)
If you have a "co-signer" on the competitor retail store card which allowed you to qualify for the credit account and rate, then you may qualify for Curacao's Interest Beat program if you also have a co-signer on your Curacao credit account.
Competitor "store card" is defined as a credit card issued with the name of that retailer on the card (regardless if a bank is managing the account) that is not co-branded with a major credit card association. Retail competitor store cards typically have restricted usage of credit for purchases at the retailer's store locations.

Inactive Customers can attempt to qualify after going through existing credit reactivation process
Accounts previously closed for any reason may qualify after going through existing credit reactivation process
Revolving (Express-99, Regular-50's) sub-accounts – if all requirements are met, current balances are eligible for lower interest rate and will take effect as of the date granted (i.e. intra-billing cycle). Finance charges assessed on existing balance up to the date of Interest Beat program interest rate change are calculated based on the previous sub-account interest rate. Finance charges for the remaining days of the billing statement will use the changed interest rate. For this reason, the weighted average interest rate for your first billing cycle under your new lower "Interest Beat" rate may be slightly higher due to finance charges which were already assessed on pre-existing balance at the previous old rate.
Installment (01-09) sub-accounts - the new rate will be applied on new purchases made in the future. If you have a balance on an installment sub-account that is entirely from a purchase that was made in the last 15 days (no previous balance), then we will also be able to change the interest rate on that account, but if a portion or entire balance of the installment account came from a purchase made more than 15 days ago, then we are not able to change the interest rate on that balance
Click here to submit your Interest Beat request online. Make sure to include your name, account number and the best phone number to call you back along with required documentation.
Send an email to [email protected] and attached a scanned copy, pdf or a legible picture of the required documents. Include your name, account number and best call back number in the email and your request will be reviewed within 24 hours
Visit any Curacao store credit lounge and they can help you with your request, remember to bring the most recent billing statement for the store credit card that you want us to beat
Once we confirm your eligibility, we will match the competitor's store credit card and BEAT it by an additional 0.25%.

For all those who are following me on Instagram and Snapchat know the kind of blood and sweat I have been putting up in getting a perfectly shaped body. And trust me guys it isn't that easy. But it is not impossible as well. Just takes the right kind of exercising and motivation to get what you actually want to achieve.
Hello all you people out there. For quite a lot of time, I have been emphasizing on why it is so very important to not just have a fit body but a healthy body too. Excess weight brings with itself a lot of uncalled for diseases. And nobody wants to fall into that kind of trap. So better late than never. Getting into the desired shape never comes easy. Weight Loss or body shaping was never easy to anybody. Not even to the fittest of people. Blessed are those who do not gain weight even after hopping all day. But if you aren't one of those and gain kilos just by the presence of food, like me, then you definitely need to pay attention.
Healthy lifestyle is the best kind of lifestyle one must tap into. With everybody getting into shape and firming muscular biceps and triceps and abs, remaining out of shape can get you a little outdated. Also a fit body is sure to boost up your morale. This is coming from some experience guys. But the question in all this process tapping arises it what to eat and what to avoid. So if you have been following me religiously, you know the tips that I have been giving you all on a better and fit life routine. And if you still haven't seen that, now is the time. Check out the older posts to know about healthy routine and diet charts and exercises.
But this post is about something that tastes good and sounds even better. So while I was on my speed of reducing weight and getting those abs, I got introduced to these super delicious super healthy proteins bars and trust me they have become my taste buds savior since. These protein bars are just the right kind of fodder to your taste buds. And the best part is that they are extremely healthy. Even your gym instructor would be suggesting you of some protein bar or protein intakes to keep your body channelized.
Rite Bite Protein Bars are nutritional bars made up of an amalgamation of protein and fiber. There is absolutely no added sugar content to it but it still tastes so good. Diet food can make you feel a little mundane and taste deprived. These rite bite protein bars can be a change to that routine. These protein bars not just taste good but come some really essential advantages. These bars help your body in the digestion process which is extremely important when your having diet food that is low on crabs and fats. These bars also help your body to absorb other important proteins.
With so many advantages and taste on the finger, this protein is a must addition in the diet chart of all this se aiming high and wanting to get there- to their perfect kind of body. These bars come in multiple flavors like green tea orange and green coffee beans and Choco fudge and more to satisfy every taste. So go ahead guys. Wait no more and trust on me when I say that you can rely on this protein bar to balance out your meals. It's tried, it's tested and it's super amazing. Go grab your bars today!
