I'm an amateur, freelance photographer from Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. I started my Photography Journey several years ago when my father gave me his old Russian FED 5 camera. Since then I had tried to find my way and to express myself through the infinite features of Photography as an art.
My art represents images of people, landscapes, nature, social, still life, macro, as well as connection between these forms of existence.
Shooting contrasts from social and natural world is the photographic process I likes the most. Building compositions through lines, forms, colors as well outlining the beauty where it has fallen are also one of my goals.
As I mostly activate in Republic of Moldova, I try to represent and express it's social and natural life by photographing infinite diversity of people and it's natural world from landscapes to wildlife.
I also perform freelance jobs and can contribute as a "fixer" for photojournalists and photographers who want to photograph Moldova's existence through it's people and nature. To be a part of it, just contact him and dicuss about it further.

Expired Travel Deal
This travel deal at Gunflint Lodge is no longer available. Please take a look at other deals in Minnesota North Shore.
In late September the forest is bursting with beautiful reds, golds, yellows, and greens as we reach the peak of Indian Summer. The days are a bit cooler and the bugs almost non-existent, making it the perfect season for trekking in the woods.
For two days Gunflint's naturalists will guide you on a variety of hikes out into the forest to their favorite color spots. Some of these hikes will come out on scenic overlooks, while others will go through thick cedar swamps or up on the aspen highlands.
The staff will mix it up — some on the short and easy side, one or two a bit longer. Packed lunches will be provided. You'll not want to forget your camera this weekend! Besides the autumn hues you may be fortunate enough to spot a local moose, fox or bear too.
In between your hikes, you're welcome to take a canoe out onto the lake for a different view. Throw in a line or just enjoy a relaxing paddle.
After your dinner in the Lodge (included in your stay), you can return to your beautiful cabin or lakehome to enjoy the cozy fireplace. The full kitchen will make it easy for you to prepare your breakfasts any way you like them.
The Beginning of Fall Color Weekend includes:
- 3-nights accommodations
- All packed lunches and dinners
- Canoes
- Naturalist-guided fall color hikes

Out of the blue
Casual conversation leads to business owner hiring special education student
2009 is a year that will likely be remembered by all, though not necessarily because of positive events or happy times. People lost jobs or had their wages cut. Retirement funds tanked along with the rest of the economy.
Things seemed bleak.
So imagine Nicolet High School teacher Kate Rinehart's surprise when Dan Eggers offered a job to one of her special education students.
"Dan struck up a conversation with me at an all-school golf outing at the end of the school year," Rinehart said.
Eggers, a Nicolet High School graduate, owns Eggers Imprints, which does silk screening and embroidery on all types of apparel and is located in Brown Deer. He started the business two years ago with one employee. He now has nine, including Drake Spence, a student in Rinehart's class.
Looking to help
"Sometimes the opportunities are not out there so I go out and get them," Eggers said of his job offer.
His mother, Pat Eggers, was a special education teacher in Brown Deer for many years.
"My mother instilled mutual respect for everyone," Eggers said.
His sister is also a special education teacher.
Drake, who is 20 and has autism, brought a resume and had an interview in order to get his job.
He started in the fall, first folding shirts as they came out of the silk screening machine.
"I hold him to a standard," Eggers said. Drake was a little slow at folding at first but that soon changed.
"I went back after a few weeks and he had done three separate types of shirts, folded them and separated them."
Drake has proved to be a quiet but quick study for other jobs as well.
Detail oriented
Earlier this month, production manager Jenny Parker taught him the use of another machine, one that uses heat to adhere letters to a shirt. Drake picked up the letters for the names of players on the Hutisford Falcons basketball team, lined them up on the back of a shirt and used the machine. Before long, the shirts were done, folded and placed in a box for delivery.
"He is amazing at quality control," Parker said. "He is awesome at catching detail and making sure things are correct. He catches things that sometimes others miss."
It stands to reason that his favorite job is related to quality control.
"I like catching the shirts and checking them," Drake said when asked his favorite task. Scrubbing the silk screen frames and mopping floors rank at the bottom of his favorites list.
Eggers encourages fun at work when there is time. An arcade type of basketball game provides opportunities for speed basketball during the day.
Drake works six hours a day, three days a week, and attends classes at Nicolet the other days of the week.
Away from work and school, he participates in several sports, basketball, volleyball and T-ball, through North Suburban Special Olympics. He likes movies, too. His most recent view was "New Moon."
"My best friend Dan and I like to act out scenes from movies," he said.
He got a taste of acting in eighth grade when his class presented "Get to Know Cinderella."
"I would like to do some acting again," Drake said.
Business ideas of his own
He also loves animals and has two dogs of his own. His first job, also through Nicolet, was at the Wisconsin Humane Society where as a volunteer he first cleaned windows but was later promoted to dog walker.
He has his dreams. Someday, Drake said, dog walking could become a little business for him.
For now, he enjoys his job and the people at Eggers Imprints.
"I didn't think it would be a small working place like it turned out to be but I like it," he said. "I like Dan (Eggers)."
Earlier in the month Eggers said the company had a Christmas party for employees, their families and customers. More than 100 people attended, including Drake, who brought his parents and wore the medal his volleyball team had won the day before at a competition.
He was the hit of the party, Eggers said, with guests wanting to see the medal and congratulate him on his accomplishment. He is an employee, Eggers allowed.
"He is also our friend," he said.
Mom Michelle drives Drake to and from work. Knowing the challenges that face everyone to a certain extent and handicapped people in particular when they seek employment, she thinks Drake's opportunity at Eggers is wonderful.
"It gives me such hope," she said.

After two Foul Play albums, John branched out from drum & bass to produce breaks and house under several aliases, most notably his releases on Cellar Door as Johnny Halo. In recent times, John has been working under his Skeleton Army alias, putting out his own brand of breakbeat infused house music.Skeleton Army's biography Skeleton Army Musician

Originally formed as the Cleveland Pottery and Tile Company by designer, potter and teacher R. Guy Cowan, the Cowan Pottery Studio, which operated from 1913 to 1931, produced outstanding and technically extraordinary pieces, which brought international recognition to American Art Pottery. The expertise of the talented artists and chemists in residence allowed them to create distinctly modern forms and glazes during its short-lived existence that have never been reproduced.
This sophisticated little bud vase, produced between 1928 and 1930, is glazed in Cowan's delicate April green, and features an elegantly squared foot reminiscent of a column base.

Billionaire Drahi Pays Up in Record Junk Sale: Corporate Finance
Billionaire Patrick Drahi is offering concessions to win over U.S. investors as he finances the acquisition of Vivendi SA's French phone unit with the world's biggest junk bond offering.
As part of about $23 billion of funding in euro and dollar bonds and loans to buy SFR, Drahi's Altice SA is paying 7.75 percent in interest on $2.9 billion of eight-year junk notes with a preliminary B rating from Standard & Poor's. That's more than the average 5.93 percent for similarly graded debt securities due in about eight years in the Bloomberg High-Yield Corporate Bond Index.
"This is Drahi's big splash into the U.S. bond market and providing solid returns will play well," said Chris Ucko, a New York-based analyst at debt researcher CreditSights Inc., which issued a report on the bond sale entitled "Priced to Make Friends."
The leveraged buyout signals a return of confidence in the euro region, which was in danger of breaking up two years ago as Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain sought bailouts amid a sovereign debt crisis. The deal comes after Western European buyers announced $149 billion of acquisitions in the first three months of the year, a nearly 60 percent gain from the start of 2013 that outpaced increases in North America and Asia.
Numericable, Altice
Drahi, 50, is raising the financing through Altice and its
Numericable Group SA unit.
An external spokesman for Numericable and Altice, who wouldn't be identified, citing company policy, declined to comment on the financing.
Numericable's outstanding 225 million euros ($311 million) of 8.75 percent notes rose 2 cents to a record 118 cents on the euro yesterday, according to bond prices compiled by Bloomberg. The notes yield 4.7 percent, compared with 8.6 percent when they were issued in October 2012.
Demand from bond investors means that Numericable can cut the amount of cash it planned to raise in the loan market. It reduced one six-year deal to $2.6 billion from more than $4 billion and another to 1.9 billion euros from 2.6 billion euros. The loans are being marketed to pay interest of 3.75 percent more than benchmark rates.
'Strong Demand'
"The way the bond tranches have changed shows the company has had some strong demand, especially out of the U.S.," said Duncan Warwick-Champion, head of corporate research at ECM Asset Management Ltd. in London, which oversees $8.6 billion in credit. "Numericable has looked at where the demand is and where they can get the best pricing."
Numericable priced $4 billion of eight-year notes to yield 6 percent, $2.4 billion of five-year securities at 4.875 percent and $1.375 billion of 10-year bonds at 6.25 percent. It also sold 1.25 billion euros of 10-year debt to yield 5.625 percent and 1 billion euros of eight-year bonds at 5.375 percent.
Drahi, the Morocco-born founder and chairman of Luxembourg-based Altice, beat a competing offer for Vivendi SA's SFR unit from Bouygues SA, which had the backing of the French government. Altice will own about 60 percent of Numericable after the acquisition, while Vivendi will hold 20 percent, and the remainder will be listed.
Numericable's debt is rated Ba3, three levels below investment grade, by Moody's Investors Service.
"This deal isn't coming at aggressively low yields," said Ucko, at CreditSights. "That compensates for the large size, the near-term risks in the French mobile market for investors and the likelihood that Drahi will probably want to come again to the U.S. bond market in coming years."

Only thing is, I deeply believe if Chud leaves, Anderson will follow Chud to his next team. Most likely wherever Chud goes, they will not have a good QB, and Anderson would be a good stop gap QB, that knows his system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From Our Editors
For eight years, Doctor of Chiropractic Michael Mulvaney ignored his chronic back pain and continued to play sports. He recalls a doctor once dismissing his nagging discomfort as "growing pains," but his suffering persisted through his teenage years. When he reached college and a friend recommended that he visit a chiropractor, he jumped at the chance. Within three visits, he was pain-free.
This experience planted the seed that eventually grew into Dr. Mulvaney's career as a chiropractor. Today, he helms Spinal Correction Center of Richmond, where he and his staff offer a combination of holistic chiropractic care and massage therapy. Dr. Mulvaney favors the Pettibon system of chiropractic care, which works to restore the spine's natural curvature and normalize misalignments that may cause pain, stiffness, or unfair limbo advantages.

Mr Powell was commenting on the fallout from the Employment
Relations Amendment Bill, which the Government has been
forced to abandon.
Mr Banks is resigning his Epsom seat and leaves Parliament
tomorrow, having been found guilty of filing a false
electoral return.
Prime Minister John Key said National was likely to make the
employment law change part of its election campaign, since it
cannot pass the Bill without Mr Banks.
Unions have fought the changes which they said removed rights
to tea breaks, undermined collective bargaining by allowing
employers to walk from talks, and reduced protection for
vulnerable workers.
Mr Powell, of the Association of Salaried Medical
Specialists, said the changes would have created an
''adversarial'' employment relations environment in health.
National collective agreements would have been less likely.
These worked well in health, as boards were increasingly
linked, so it made sense for staff to share conditions around
the country.
New Zealand was hugely reliant on foreign doctors, and their
rights as new employees in an unfamiliar country would have
been reduced.
''It's so intriguing to see John Banks as a working class
hero,'' Mr Powell said.
Service and Food Workers Union national secretary John Ryall
was ''overjoyed'' the Government had been forced to abandon
efforts to reduce workers' rights.
He was particularly pleased Part 6A of the existing Act
covering vulnerable workers would be unchanged.
Mr Ryall said bargaining entitlements were already limited,
and the Bill worsened the situation. It favoured employers
and would put downward pressure on wages.
CrestClean managing director Grant McLauchlan, of Dunedin,
who has pushed for reform of Part 6A, which protects
vulnerable workers, was also pleased the Bill had been
dropped, as it had not addressed the main issue.
It was a ''great result'', and he hoped the next Government
had a strong mandate to make ''pragmatic and appropriate
changes'' to the ''broken'' Part 6A.
New employers were not told whether employees wanted to
transfer to their company until the day before a new contract
started, which the Bill would not have addressed. He denied
the industry was trying to lower the wages of vulnerable
''How can you pay someone cheaper - they're all on the
minimum wage [already]. The people that we take over, how can
we ever pay them less? ''The people we take over
unfortunately are the people that have been poorly managed by
their existing company.''
The Bill exempted employers with 19 or fewer employees from
Part 6A, but that only helped the ''small end of town'', Mr
McLauchlan said.
Otago-Southland Employers Association managing solicitor
Diana Hudson said the changes had been a long time coming,
and it was disappointing they would not go ahead.
The law governing tea breaks was far too prescriptive, and
did not work for many employers, Ms Hudson said.
''This is not about removing entitlements - it's about making
the entitlements more flexible.''
Part 6A was difficult to work with in its present form, and
the proposed changes would have ''provided more clarity'',
she said.
University of Otago politics lecturer Dr Bryce Edwards said
it was embarrassing for National to have to abandon part of
its legislative programme.
He did not think employment relations were set to be a big
election issue.
''I just don't think it's going to be a particularly sexy
issue for Labour to campaign on.''
Likewise, National was unlikely to push the issue much in its
The changes were a nod to National's support base, rather
than a big vote winner, Dr Edwards said.
He believed the unions had exaggerated the importance of the
changes but it was their role to do so.

Stinky corpse flower blooms again at Ohio State University greenhouse
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A large, stinky rainforest plant known as a corpse flower is again blooming at an Ohio State University greenhouse, and a spokeswoman says there's more excitement because another corpse flower there is expected to open soon.
A 6-foot titan arum opened Tuesday to release its rotting-flesh smell two years after it first flowered. A second corpse flower opened briefly at the greenhouse last May, and a third is expected to open in seven to 10 days.
Despite extended visiting hours, visitors have little time to catch a whiff because the rare blooms sometimes last only a day or less.
Spokeswoman Sandi Rutkowski says having three or four blooms within three years is lucky but also is a tribute to the skill of cultivators at the greenhouse.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The NHL has suspended Anaheim Ducks forward Jarkko Ruutu for one game following his hit Wednesday night on Nashville Predators forward Martin Erat in Game 4 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series in Nashville.
Erat, the team's second-leading scorer during the regular season with 17 goals and 33 assists, suffered an upper-body injury and did not return to the game or accompany the team to Anaheim for Game 5 on Friday night at Honda Center.
Ruutu, a healthy scratch for Games 2 and 3, is the second Ducks player to be suspended in the best-of-seven series as a result of dangerous play. Bobby Ryan was suspended for Games 3 and 4 in Nashville after stomping on the skate of Nashville defenseman Jonathon Blum late in Game 2, a 5-3 victory by the Ducks in Anaheim.
Erat was checked by Ruutu after he released a pass four minutes into the second period of the 6-3 victory by the Ducks, which evened the series, 2-2. He lay on the ice for a few minutes before skating slowly to the locker room. No penalties were originally signaled but Ruutu ended up serving two minutes for interference.
Before the suspension was announced, Ducks coach Randy Carlyle expressed surprise a disciplinary hearing was even scheduled.
"To me, it's absurd that's there's even mention of a hearing when a guy has a shoulder-on-shoulder body check as the player passes the puck," he said. "They're saying that was so many tenths of a second after they allow. This was two-tenths, or three-tenths of a second past the allowable time. It's kind of mind boggling."
Ruutu, who was acquired from the Senators in February for a sixth-round draft pick this year, has a reputation for rough play.
As a member of the Ottawa Senators, he was suspended two games in November 2008 for elbowing Maxim Lapierre in the head during a game against the Canadiens. In January of that season, Ruutu was suspended two games for allegedly biting the gloved thumb of Buffalo enforcer Andrew Peters.
Ruutu denied the biting accusation, claiming Peters put his finger in Ruutu's mouth while gouging his eye.
Before the Predators flew to Southern California on Thursday, Nashville coach Barry Trotz criticized the timing of the hit during a post-practice interview session. His comments came a couple days after Ducks general manager Bob Murray accused the Predators of diving in an effort to get penalties called against Anaheim.
"It was a late hit," Trotz said. "The Ducks are whining and complaining that they're the ones being targeted."
Trotz then compared the loss of Erat to Ruutu, who played just 10 shifts in Game 4 for 5:41 of ice time.
"Ruutu doesn't even dress," Trotz said. "He's a five-minute player for them, and we lose a top player."
Asked if any of Anaheim's top players should be more aware of any payback tactics in Game 5, Carlyle said it appeared the Predators already tried.
"You don't think Jordin Tootoo's crosscheck to the head of Toni Lydman in the last minute of the hockey game shouldn't draw some attention?" Carlyle said.
Tootoo earned two minutes for roughing Lydman and later a 10-minute game misconduct.
Ducks forward Corey Perry said it's important the Ducks focus on the task at hand and not potential retaliation from the Predators.
"You've got to be ready at any hockey game," he said. "Just because one hit happened doesn't mean something else could happen. We have to be ready to play tomorrow night and keep our cool."

The past decade has witnessed a rapid growth in the development of research on the human dimensions of global environmental change. Environmental Social Science offers a synthesis of this new cross-disciplinary enterprise, and provides a foundation for scholars and policy makers to address the urgent needs of these globally-scaled processes. With increasing evidence of climate change, loss of biodiversity, rapid deforestation in the tropics, and an impending crisis in availability of potable water, the book argues that environmental research demands a better understanding of the complexities of current human-environment interactions. In recommending a new collaborative approach that makes environmental theories and research methods accessible across the natural and social sciences, the book outlines a mutually beneficial research agenda for all concerned.

From the pages of the Crescent City American, January 1927.
On Monday morning, District Attorney Geo. W. Howe and his two deputies, Shulte and Brown, swooped down upon A. W. Studarns and Luigi Braido, and confiscated 150 gallons of wine mash and 20 gallons of beer.
These men were occupying the home on the Ashley ranch, near Fort Dick, and are said to have been operating for about three months. Braido appeared Monday evening before Judge Potter and pleaded guilty as charged and fined $150.
On Tuesday evening, the dry squad, Deputy Shulte and Deputy Sheriff Plaisted, raided the home of Jack Evans, across the bridge, south of town and secured a gallon jug of whiskey for evidence. Evans was placed in jail, but he raised $150 in bail and was released.
