One With Nature4 of 11
The Mountain House by PS Arkitektur is a contemporary take on a traditional alpine cottage. The unimposing barn-like architecture typical of the Northern Sweden gives a hint of the simple, modern interior. And we love the unexpected antlers hanging by the front door.

Plywood walls and ceiling combined with wooden floorboards—not to mention a wood-burning stove and well-placed hide rugs—add warmth and a rustic charm to PS Arkitektur's modern cabin.

Evoking Thoreau's simple cabin in the woods, the small modern rolling huts by Olson Kundig Architects are positioned as a herd on an open field nestled in Methow Valley. The wheels lift the single-story abodes off the ground to provide views and limit impact on the land.

Managed Markets Monday: Who's Driving The Bus?
Who's Driving the Bus? The Rise of Consumer-Driven Health Plans
By Steve Toman, Account Director, Palio+Ignite Managed Markets firstname.lastname@example.com
It's no big surprise that healthcare expenditures have risen dramatically over the past few decades. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimated that the United States spent nearly $2.6 trillion on healthcare in 2010, which is over 10 times the $256 billion it spent in 1980. And these costs have continued to escalate. Aon Hewitt reported in its "2012 Health Care Survey" that employers have seen the amount they spend on healthcare increase by 40% over the past 6 years, to an average of $8000 per employee. During that same time period, employee payroll and out-of-pocket expenses have increased more than 80%, to an average of $5000 per year. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare costs represented 5.4% of total compensation in 1999 vs 7.3% of total compensation 1 decade later. This increase in costs to employees has had a significant impact on take-home pay, and has applied negative pressures to the overall economy. Some experts have suggested that the increase in employer health plan costs has been a major contributor to wage stagnation over the past 10 years.
So what are employers and payers doing about rising healthcare costs? One thing they are doing is offering consumer-driven health plans (CDHPs). These are generally defined as tax-advantaged payment accounts (health reimbursement accounts [HRAs] or health savings accounts [HSAs]) coupled with a high-deductible plan (deductibles typically in the thousands of dollars). Because CDHPs are less expensive than traditional low-deductible indemnity plans, as well as PPO, HMO, and POS plans, employers are moving more and more employees into consumer-driven plans. The idea is for employees to assume more ownership of their own health, and to bring some of the efficiencies of consumerism to healthcare. Other factors that are contributing to the development of CDHPs include:
- Health insurance exchanges (HIXs), brought about by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)
- Legislation providing consumers with more options and transparency
- Increased consolidation of providers (integrated delivery networks [IDNs])
- New care models (accountable care organizations [ACOs])
- Private companies and payers promoting cost-of-care transparency
CDHPs have the potential for significant savings in healthcare costs. Haviland et al studied the potential impact of CDHPs and reported last year in Health Affairs that if enrollment in CDHPs were to increase to 50% of the employer-sponsored non-elderly population, the national savings in healthcare expenditures would total $57.1 billion annually. That's real money. Potential savings like these are driving the increase in CDHPs. Aon Hewitt found that in 2012, CDHPs overtook HMOs as the second most common benefit design. PPOs are the most commonly offered plans (79%), followed by CDHPs (58%), then HMOs (38%). In addition, 52% of employers who offer a CDHP do so as a choice for their employees, while only 11% offer a CDHP as a full replacement plan.
Although CDHPs may help participants and employers lower costs, participants may not always get the quality they have become accustomed to with more traditional benefit designs. The Employee Benefit Research Institute reported that CDHP enrollees have a lower satisfaction rating (52%) than those enrolled in traditional plans (66%). And only 45% of CDHP enrollees would recommend their plan to friends or coworkers, compared with 55% of those in traditional plans.
Despite these shortcomings, CDHPs are becoming an increasingly popular choice for employers, payers, and employees. These plans represent significant savings in terms of premiums, but employees do need to shoulder significantly higher out-of-pocket payments than they have in the past. With an increasing number of patients behind the wheel of their own healthcare bus, CDHPs represent a unique set of challenges to hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and other healthcare providers.

I LOVE this product. Great smell. I prefer the sugar scrub to the salt one, especially on clients with more sensitive skin. My only complaint is that the oils separate out. Not sure if this could be fixed though.
I loved the aroma and the way my skin felt after using the cranberry brown sugar scrub. I'd definitely purchase it again
I absolutely love the smell of the vanilla latte. It makes you feel like you are in a cafe right in your shower. As far as the products effectiveness... Its definitely a winner and one I will purchase for years to come.
This product is the best thing since slice bread. My clients love this product.

This gizmo is really cool! I bought it for my dad for his birthday along with the icade mobile controller and he loves them both! It's so handy for him having both connections on his key ring. It means he can just charge and sync his iphone whilst doing work on the laptop. Very impressed and recommend it for all! Great for any special occasion for a present!
Good idea....pity
I bought nine of the iPhone Keyring with USB Charging Cables as it seemed to be a great gift to give to friends. People were always asking to borrow my leads so this seemed like the perfect idea. For a short while it was convenient to have in my purse ready to use and not large and cumbersome. Unfortunately, it isn't very well made. It isn't very sturdy and falls apart easily. I've taped it together but some of my other friends have complained of the same thing. Pity, a great idea, just not made well enough.
iPhone Keyring USB Charging Cable
The iPhone Keyring with USB Charging Cable does exactly as it says. As long as it's on your bunch of house or car keys then you will have no worries charging your phone or iPad ever again. It is small and easy to carry around. A very handy little gadget, I strongly recommend this item.
great little gadget
I just love the iPhone Keyring with USB Charging Cable, it's perfect to charge my iPod Touch while I am at friends and family etc. I also use it to transfer pics, films and books for my Kindle. What a handy little gizmo. I absolutely hate it when my charge runs out and no one has a spare lead so now I keep this on my keyring and I'm always prepared.
The iPhone Keyring with USB Charging Cable is really useful. It has been added to my burgeoning collection of keyrings (working at IWOOT will do that for you). A great way to add your music to a playlist at a party, charge your iPod on the go or let you put that song on your iPhone without having to go rooting around trying to find the cable. Not too heavy either.
Worth waiting for
This iPhone Keyring with USB Charging Cable was a present for my girlfriend. She has reported back that it works very well, is a convenient size and is very useful. I would recommend this product to people with i-products, especially those who travel with laptops as it is a convenient means of keeping everything fully charged.

A lot is to do with the distance between the trap and the vent. I have a 1.5 inch p-trap on a 1.5 inch pipe for my laundry tub. But it is just over 42 inches away from the vent. The trap gulps after the tub has drained. I am going to have to shorten the distance.a 2" trap arm/drain is sufficient to avoid siphoning on a 1-1/2" p-trap. Can anyone corroborate with a real-life anecdote?
If you have just shy of five feet of pipe between your trap and your vent then you will need 2 inch pipe. Any more than 5 feet and you will run into the same problems as me.
Although Table 12.8.1 shows something different. Where am I going wrong here?

Peregrines on the Clock Tower
March 2014
The Peregrines are back
The Peregrines are back on the City Hall Clock Tower. One bird seems to be spending most of the day hidden in the recesses of the nest (on the right hand side of the ledge underneath the clock face), suggesting that she may have started incubating eggs. This would imply a laying date a little earlier than we have seen in previous years. However, we are aware of another local pair of peregrines that are incubating eggs, so perhaps it is an early season this year. Museum Curator Adrian Plant has taken over the duties of the Peregrine Web-cam, and will be keeping an eye on them for us.
We will keep you posted on what happens.
June 2013
Peregrines on City Hall clock tower 2013
June 7 Update
Eventful couple of days. Received a call yesterday that a young Peregrine was on the ground near City Hall. Directions weren't brilliant so had to go hunting around and finally found a young male hunkered down at the edge of one of the footpaths in Alexandra Gardens, under some overhanging vegetation. Amazingly you could walk past within a couple of feet and it didn't move. He was duly picked up and taken back to the roof of City Hall at the base of the tower where he was fitted with a BTO ring and a colour-ring Blue FH, the first photo is of him looking lass than happy with his experience but hopefully it will keep him out of trouble until he can fly strongly enough to gain height.
Then this morning I had another call from the RSPB to say that a young Peregrine was on a statue in King Edward VII Avenue. I met up with Phil Pinder and there was the bird sat on the statue (second photo). This one was unringed so we knew it was a different bird to yesterday, I tried to catch it so it could be ringed but wasn't quite quick enough and it flew off strongly. Which is a good thing as it suggests it should survive. Apparently it had been seen feeding earlier so it's good to know that the parents are feeding them even quite some way from the tower.
No sign of the young female today though.
Peregrines on the City Hall Clock Tower 2013
June 6 Update
All three youngsters are practically fully grown now and one of the males has even left the nest ledge. He was seen on a roof above the west entrance to City Hall yesterday morning where he will be safe enough.
The other two, a male and a female, could be seen wing flapping and getting themselves ready for their first flight. It won't be long before they're out and about.
So far, so good, although the next two or three days are still perilous for the youngsters as they don't have the strength to get back to the higher ledges in the first few days after their first flight. Fingers crossed that all three will be safe and fledge this year.
May 2013
Peregrines on the Clock Tower 2013
May 29 update
Well the chicks are now about a month old and the change in the last 10 days or so has been dramatic. The pictures show them at about 20 days and then a mere 8 days later, changing from fluffy white balls to something resembling a Peregrine.
If all 3 chicks fledge - possibly a big if given the knack they have of falling off the tower before they can fly properly - this will be a very good year. Well, I suppose it is anyway as the adults wil have raised 3 chicks to fledging age, just that the nest site isn't particularly safe for youngsters!
Judging by the size of the young it looks like there may be one female and 2 males. At one month the difference in size between the sexes is apparent even from a distance.
The next 2-3 weeks will be very challenging for the youngsters, I hope they manage to stay on the tower!
Peregrines on the Clock Tower 2013
May 3 update
Plenty of feeding taking place today and I think there may now be 3 chicks. Their heads are becoming more visible by the day so it should soon be very obvious how many chicks there are. Female seems to be doing most of the feeding at the moment with the male bringing in the food.
I hope the chicks are more sensible this year when they are bigger and don't get too adventurous too soon - the ledge by the nest isn't very wide!
Watch their progress here
April 2013
Peregrines on the Clock Tower 2013
Update 30 April
Great news, at least one chick has hatched over the weekend. The female spent 10 mintues or so tearing off little morsels for a chick this morning. I could just make out a little white head wobbling around. As I write this the female is back brooding the chick and the remaining eggs. Apologies for the quality of the photo, the only way I can get screen shots of any activity is to photograph the screen.
Peregrines on the Clock Tower 2013
April 10th: There are eggs
The female started incubating on the 20th March so, all being well, we can expect the first chick to be hatching in the latter half of April. There was relatively little sign of the pair earlier in the year and the report of a dead Peregrine in Alexandra Gardens just before Christmas was a cause for concern!
With so little displaying and calling around the tower I was quite surprised to see the female begin brooding in late March, let's hope this pair is successful.
We have chicks!
Or at least the Peregrines do. There was a worrying moment yesterday morning when I didn't see any activity around the nest for hours, I couldn't see a bird on the nest - and it was raining. I eventually saw the female at the nest late morning but she just had a cursory glance at the nest then flew off.
She returned a little while later and then sat on the nest for the rest of the day. The male flew in a couple fo times and on one occasion I am pretty certain brought in a little lump of food. The female didn't stir but it's possible the chick hatched sometime yesterday (or over the weekend).
When I switched the camera monitor on in my office this morning I saw the female was sitting on the nest then the male popped in with a morsel of food. The female stood on the edge of the nest, started tearing small chunks off and was stretching into the back of the nest to offer the food to the chick. This went on for about 10 minutes until the female resumed incubation.
Peregrines normally lay 3-4 eggs and start incubating as soon as they lay the first one, which means the first egg laid hatches first. Assuming the other eggs hatch there will likely be more chicks over the next few days but it could be a couple of weeks before they are big enough to be seen over the rim of the nest.
Peregrines on the Clock Tower 2012
As with last year the Peregrines were around over the winter, I could see, or hear, them from the office most days. It seems August/September is when they are least visible, probably while they are moulting their feathers after the breeding season.
The camera was back up and running in mid-March just in time to see the female start incubating eggs some time around the 20th.
Let's hope that they have a better season than last year!
May 2011
We have nestlings!
At long last the female has been seen carrying food into the nest so we know at least one egg has now hatched.
As the eggs are incubated as soon as she lays them the others should hatch at 1-2 day intervals.

WOLFSBURG, Germany, January 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The Autostadt in Wolfsburg continued its successful development in 2013, with 2.166 million visitors (2012: 2.297 million) and 160,230 vehicle deliveries (2012: 173,374). According to CEO Otto F. Wachs, "The excellent visitor and vehicle delivery figures confirm the success of our concept of continuous change and development. New attractions, including the MobiVersum family activity section and the 'Ausfahrt' driving attraction, offer guests excellent reasons to visit the Autostadt. The number of visitors in 2013 once again exceeded our long-term annual average. Visitors typically spend more than five hours at the Autostadt, which shows that guests are interested in our attractions."
The Movimentos Festival was the cultural highlight of 2013. Two sold-out concerts featuring the band Rammstein closed the 11th Autostadt festival on 5 May. This year's event attracted 30,000 guests. In 2013, festival events focused on the theme of "Tolerance", and in 2014 the annual theme is "Glück" (Happiness).
The Autostadt has been accredited as an extracurricular learning centre with an extensive educational programme for more than ten years. In 2013 over 350,000 interested students took part.
Thirteen years after the opening of the first Ritz-Carlton in Germany, The Ritz-Carlton, Wolfsburg remained in operation during 15 months of extensive remodelling work. The hotel unveiled a completely new interior design in November.
In conclusion, Autostadt CEO Otto F. Wachs says: "Our focus in 2014 will be on continuing the overall development of the Autostadt. This is in contrast to 2012 and 2013 when we launched major new building projects. As a communications platform, we will be supporting the dynamic growth of the Volkswagen Group and contributing to the development of Wolfsburg and the surrounding region."

WARNER ROBINS -- A high-speed chase that began Wednesday morning in Lamar County ended when the suspect ran a red light and crashed into two other vehicles on Watson Boulevard in front of Wendys near the Houston County Galleria, authorities said.
Suspect Jeremy Deonte Haugabook, 26, of Stockbridge, was taken to The Medical Center of Central Georgia after a brief foot chase, said Georgia State Patrol Sgt. Crystal Griffin.
Shirley Wingler, 68, of Fort Valley, and Nile Wingler, 73, of Freeport, Fla., were in a car that was T-boned by Haugabook when he ran the red light at Watson Boulevard and Galleria Mall Drive, Griffin said. Both also were taken to the Medical Center.
All were listed in stable condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Derek Floyd, 30, of Warner Robins, the driver of a pickup truck also involved in the crash, and his passenger David Robinson, 35, of Bonaire, were not injured, Griffin said.
Haugabook, who was speeding east down Watson Boulevard from pursuing Monroe County sheriffs deputies, first struck the car Shirley Wingler was driving and then ran into the front of the truck driven by Floyd.
Wingler, who had come from Target and was on Galleria Mall Drive that crosses Watson Boulevard, was turning west onto Watson, and Floyd, who was traveling west on Watson, was turning toward Target when Haugabook blew through the red light, Griffin said.
Georgia State Patrol charged Haugabook with reckless driving, running a red light and driving on a suspended or expired license, Griffin said. The Monroe County Sheriffs Office is charging Haugabook with possession of marijuana and suspected cocaine, fleeing and attempting to elude, driving on a suspended license, speeding, passing in the emergency lane, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident with injuries and driving on a suspended license, according to a news release.
Speeds reached 120 miles per hour, said Allison Selman-Willis, public information officer for the Monroe County Sheriffs Office.
Tangy Trawick, who works at Wendys, said a woman, later identified as Wingler, had to be cut from her car by emergency personnel.
Darin Cummings, district manager for Wendys, said he didnt see the crash itself but saw the aftermath and the suspect, later identified as Haugabook, run across Watson Boulevard and jump into a Goodwill donation trailer in the mall parking lot in an attempt to hide.
We were yelling, There he is, Cummings said he and other employees shouted to deputies. Get him!
Selman-Willis said Monroe County deputies assumed the lead in the chase that originated in Lamar County after the pursuing Lamar County sheriffs deputy vehicle got a flat tire near Hartley Bridge Road in Macon.
Bibb County deputies tried to puncture the vehicles tires using stop sticks but were unsuccessful, a news release states.
The chase came through Monroe County about 10 a.m. on Interstate 75, said Selman-Willis. Haugabook turned off the interstate onto the Ga. 247 Connector, also known as Watson Boulevard. Deputies stopped pursuing the car due to the traffic on Watson. When the car crashed, it shut down Watson Boulevard from S. Houston Lake Road to Margie Drive for more than an hour.
Evelyn Durst, 64, of Warner Robins, was traveling down Watson Boulevard headed to Kroger to do some grocery shopping when she became snarled in traffic.
Ive never seen so many police lights in my life, Durst said.

Soldier's mission to be Father Christmas for comrades
8:30am Friday 27th December 2013 in News
AN OXFORD soldier was this year tasked with distributing presents to his comrades out in Afghanistan.
Major Luke Dance, a logistics operations officer based at Camp Bastion, was made responsible for making sure every member of UK personnel in Afghanistan gets their own present box from charity UK4U.
Maj Dance, a staff officer with 502 Logistics Operations, had expected 9,600 boxes to come in from the UK.
The 32-year-old said the boxes, which included things such as wind-up torches, vouchers, keyrings and packs of cards, arrived in Afghanistan and were then broken down into allocations for various units and transported to where they need to be.
He said the task was challenging, and very different from most of the logistics involving the British military effort in Afghanistan. He said: "One of the key things is making sure that there is enough, and everybody gets a box on Christmas Day.
"It's time-critical and it has to be one for everybody, whereas with a lot of logistics we can either get it there early or send too many and not have to worry about it."
And although the boxes do not contain anything valuable or expensive, he said: "It's as much the thought as anything else, and it's a nice thing to have.
"They are actually fairly collectable. We've been asked to return some for the Imperial War Museum."
Maj Dance is on his third tour of Afghanistan.
He spent Christmas away from wife Suzanne.
He said: "For me, Christmas is about family, so it's not nice being away."

Wealthy widow Leona Gillings hires private investigator, Jerry Crown, to uncover charlatans in her attempts to contact her dead husband through mediums. After exposing several frauds, Crown sets up bogus séances, collecting a healthy fee and the widow's confidence. Leona, now utterly dependent on him, wants them to marry. Before the wedding she receives a letter from a clairvoyant who claims to have contacted her husband through her Indian spirit guide. Crown reluctantly agrees to accompany Leona to one final séance. The spirit guide appears, warning Leona about her fiancé's mercenary ambitions. As Crown tries in vain to expose the proceedings as fraudulent he finds himself up against the might of the other world with disastrous consequences.

Just watched this on Youtube and i consider it to be one of the stronger episodes. Fine performances from Tom Adams, who makes a very convincing con man, (full of superficial charm), and Julie Harris as a vulnerable widow, do well to make this very watchable right up to the dramatic ending.

Although Iowa State has been to a bowl each of the last two seasons, they still have never had a 10-win season. It's a work in progress for I-State coming off back-to-back 6-7 seasons. 8 bowls in the last 13 seasons is a sign of progress, but they've never been a serious threat to the Big 12 crown and only mentioned in terms of a joke when it comes to a national title threat. Sam B. Richardson will try to change that as he takes over at quarterback this season, a speed threat and decent thrower. The Big 12 is known for its high-powered offenses, and although Iowa State isn't there yet, it has the potential to join that group. The receiving corps was remarkably balanced last year, but it's still a problem when the top three targets graduate. Still, the other young receivers don't have far to go to set up a great offense. James White and Jeff Woody were the most effective rushers last year, and balancing the running game will help the passing game. I-State wasn't bad defensively last year, but they lose linebacker and leading tackler A.J. Klein. Plus, the Cyclones oddly didn't sack many at all, and were led in sacks by Cleyon Laing at 3.0. Pressuring the quarterback is an issue. A rough schedule lurks, and it sometimes seems like I-State struggles to fight for every win no matter the opponent.
The Iowa State Cyclones are a college football team that plays in the Big 12 Conference. The Cyclones operate under head coach Paul Rhoads at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, which holds exactly 55,000 fans. Although they have played football for a long time, Iowa State does not have much of a legacy, boasting just 12 bowl appearances (three wins), three Consensus All-Americans and two conference titles. Iowa State fights for the Cy-Hawk Trophy with Iowa every year although they trail in the series 39-21. They also trail in their rivalry with Missouri but lead against Kansas State. With Missouri in the SEC, the future of the rivalry is in question. This season the Cyclones hope to be atop the Big 12 and Gold Coast Tickets does not want you to miss out on the action. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for all your college football needs this season!

Those photo studies of the figures are down right inspiring. Im gonna come back here next time I do one so I can see what to aim for!
@Johnny24 Thx dude!
@Wrappii Thats really inspiring to hear, thank you! hope you definitely come back to visit!
Here's today's study, i present to you....the hotest character in film. I haven't seen the American version, even though it's by my favorite director, cuz the original was just so good i dont want it ruined, but I think I'm going to crack and just watch it.
the guitar looks especially good. reference or no?
Thanx Wrappiii. Yeah it's referenced(minus the background), it was a good skin tone/value study since the original is black and white, it pushed me to experiment with my understanding of what those colors would be.
Really like the mohawk girl, your values are getting better and better!
Hey Cloudy, thanks for the boost! I need to test them out more on work straight from the imagination without reference so i can start feeling more comfortable without the "training wheels".
Been working on this one for 3 days now, most of yesterday and all day today, and finally finished another challenge. I present to you, an addition to the cyberpunk crew, Mehka. Well endowed in all technology and possessing the ability to blast her foes with pure electronic beam, Mehka is one of the few survivors of the Biohazard Eradication Project. I'll also be post some figure studies in 2 hours or so.

Here are the studies for the day. There are more but they were just quick sketches that look like spaghetti on canvas. These 2 are the most coherent ones. While drawing Mehka I realized how little practice I've had with faces, so here is one that i did in 30min. and the figure study that was 12mins.(these are pixelovely.com class session drawings). I'm excited to move on to the next character. I'm sure it's going to be challenging, it'll be fun getting past whatever obstacles that'll pop up, in the mean time I'll try to post more figure studies.
Hello yall! Here's another character I just finished. As always I'm open to any form of critic and I hope you guys enjoy this, there's already another one on the way. Here's a little back story:
A man of might, infected with the radiation after the horrific blast located near a big radioactive facility, that brought about a mutation rather something in his favor. Skin soo thick, the fastest bullet or the sharpest knife couldn't penetrate. Though now he struggles with his loss with one of his senses, touch.

A couple of figure studies. I like how the first one came out, it was an 11 min study and for some reason it looks better than the 25min one, the flesh tones look more real or something. I messed around with the background a bit, dont know what that is. Anyways, another character from imagination is on the way.
Today's quick sketch before really getting to work.
More characters to come, I'm excited to move on to the next one.

Sorry for the no posts, been kinda rough the past few weeks. Here's a piece I just finished, totally exhausted! sat for 11 hours straight to get this done, so worth it though, learned a lot and reallllyyy focused! Despite all that I still see a lot of mistakes, feel free to point them out! Anyways I'm doing another big piece instead of characters so I'll upload that in a couple of days or so, though I'm not done with the character designs, I'm actually really anxious to get back to doing them! Hope you like.
Hey CA, been a while. I finally moved and still looking for work in the art field. I recently finished this oil painting that i wanted to share with yall. Yup, I got a bit of a crush on Emma Stone, but who doesn't right? I'd really like to sell it, though I don't know where would be a good start. Reddit didn't give me much feedback and I've posted it on Instagram to generate some attraction but nothing yet. Any tips or feedback would be awesome.

Here are some sketches I've been keeping myself busy with while riding the ever buzzing subways of NYC. Figured "why waste an hour?". More to come.
Yeah, NYC subways are the best for drawinks!

Sandwich Sides
Crispy Onion Rings"There's nothing better than a simple tempura of a primo vegetable," states Peter Hoffman. For this sensational version, he coats thick onion rings in an ultralight batter and quickly fries them. Hoffman says that any vegetable that slices nicely, like delicata squash, fennel or zucchini, would be great here, as long as it "takes to the batter"—meaning the batter stays on.

It's probably not too helpful to speculate but, like many others
I suspect, I'm surprised Nikon has not yet offered a replacement pro(read fully specced) dx body.
Surely the D300s is up for replacement, the D7000 is being very highly discounted
virtually everywhere and whilst the D5200/D3200 are highly capable they are
far from what we traditionally call "Pro"
Some may think get a high res fx body but actually there isn't even that option
if one wants a full sized pro body offering fast frame rates etc and decent pixel count.
I am one of the photographers who thinks both formats are valid and have their own
advantages and I will just say I don't think mirrorless yet offers a comparable solution.
So come on Nikon there are still a lot of photographers who like dx or at least want
a highly specced dx body to compliment their full frame cameras.
Any thoughts welcome, oh and this is not intended to be a dx versus fx thread.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Physio-Control.
Interview Details phone interview, then one on-site interview with 4-5 people, taking half a day. i think the difficulty of the experience can vary depending on the functional group and who is actually tasked to interview that day. background check was standard, contracted out to a service, and i don't think my references were even called.
Interview Question – the hiring manager asked the toughest questions, higher-level questions regarding processes and methodologies. the human resources person asked softball questions, maybe just weeding out the weirdos. The developers asked pretty straightforward technical questions, if you know what you're doing you'll be alright, and if you don't know an answer just do your best to work through it as much as you can without B.S.ing. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – they offered a fair salary, perhaps slightly on the lower side of average, because at the time (several years ago) the company was a subsidiary of Medtronic, and the benefits were actually really great. But there was still room for negotiation, and i was able to increase the final offer by doing my homework on relative regional salaries influenced by my particular skill set and experience. now the benefits suck, so be sure to negotiate accordingly.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 2+ weeks - interviewed at Physio-Control in April 2013.
Interview Details After applying online for this summer position, I was initially contacted by phone by an HR representative. He invited me for a phone interview with one of the internship committee members. The phone interview happened the next day and lasted around 30 minutes. A week later I was invited for an in-person interview onsite with four different people over two hours (30 minutes with each person). We scheduled my interview to be taken place two days later. I had to fill out three pages of paperwork (standard application materials) and take them to the interview.
On the day of the onsite interview, I checked in with the front desk receptionist and waited in the lobby. A few minutes later I was greeted by my first interviewer, another employee from the internship committee, who took me up to a private interviewing room. He first asked how I found out about the opportunity, then asked me to tell him about myself. After a few other general interview questions I had the opportunity to ask him questions about the internship program itself. He told me more about how each intern gets their own mentor to guide them.
Immediately after the first interviewer left, the next interviewer came into the room. This employee was to be my mentor. He asked me about my skills, experience, work ethic, and interests. I then had the opportunity to ask him more about himself, his position, his department, and the project I would be working on.
After the second interviewer, my manager-to-be came in to the room. She came a little late, so I had a little less time with her and some extra time with my mentor-to-be. My manager-to-be asked me about my related experience, my design process, and how I think my course of study relates to the medical technology. I then got to ask her more about the company, its history, and its goals.
My interview session ended with an informal interview with a past intern who turned into a full-time employee. She gave me a walking tour of the campus, which was very informative and helpful. Seems like most places don't give you a walking tour until AFTER you are hired, but having the tour during the interview is nice for the interviewee because it helps him/her decide if the company is a place they could really see his/herself working at. After the walking tour we sat down in the cafeteria, where she gave me a chance to ask any informal questions, questions that probably wouldn't have been appropriate to ask during the previous three interviews. For example, I asked her about her experience when she was an intern, the social events she got to attend, and the compensation she got as an intern.'
Overall, the interview/hiring process was very good. Received the job offer a week after the interview, so the whole process took only about two weeks for me. This might have to do with the fact that I was the last person they interviewed for this position. The in-person interviews weren't intimidating at all; they were fairly conversational, since I wasn't asked to recite my strengths and weaknesses.
Interview Question – The goal of the project for this internship was to design the "out-of-box experience" (packaging, instructional print materials, how the contents are laid out in the box, etc.) for one of their products in development. The most unexpected question was asked by my mentor-to-be (not verbatim): "Can you think of a product that had a memorable, unique, intuitive out-of-box experience?" Answer Question

Tottonians keep pressure on in promotion battle
6:00am Tuesday 3rd December 2013 in Sport By Clive Downton, Rugby correspondent and sub-editor
No ground was conceded in the race for the London 2 South-West finish line at weekend, all three leading contenders collecting five-point victories.
Leaders Gosport & Fareham kept their three-point cushion while chasing Guildford made sure they stayed in touch and Tottonians, the only club putting pressure on the top two, also recorded a healthy win.
High-flying Gosport ran in five tries to get their 29-0 win at rock bottom Teddington.
Gos gave debuts to full back Nathan Walton, wing Shaun Taylor and Dan Turner who started on the bench.
Tries from Chris Thompson, Gareth Jones and a two from Joey Clark gave them an early 24-0 lead and netted them the bonus point, but Teddington made them work for their only second half score from Sam Foster.
Guildford's win was more emphatic – a 69-10 home success over third-from-bottom Portsmouth.
With the half-way stage of the season approaching, Tottonians are just nine points adrift of Guildford – fourth-placed Trojans are back another ten points.
Totts defeated Weybridge Vandals 35-12 in an "entertaining game against stubborn opponents, lit up by some well crafted tries".
The Water Lane team were 17-0 up at half time through two Richard Buck tries – the centre being fed by fly-half Robbie Searle and wing Faisal Mutati. The other points came from Robbie Searle's boot.
Visitors Vandals began to dominate the scrum after the break and were rewarded with a try after an infringement from Totts and a catch-and-drive from a line-out.
But it was not long before captain Mike Searle intercepted a Weybridge pass and off-loaded to Dan Taylor, who went over.
Totts' bonus point try came from Scott Rogers – Buck the provider.
Vandals had the final say to touch down from a three-man overlap but, with an extra five points from Robbie Searle's boot, the game was secure at 35-12.
Winchester quickly built up a 26-0 lead over London Cornish at North Walls Park.
Man of the match Nick Fielding raced 60 metres to score the opening try after three minutes but teammate Matt Burt added 20 metres to that distance when he sprinted from his own 22 shortly after.
Open side flanker Alex Day crashed over before Matt Lown charged down a clearance kick and dropped on the ball for Winchester's bonus point try.
Alleynians hit back with a try before the break and then got to within a score of the home side with a couple of penalties, a try and conversion.
They could have taken that lead but for a try-saving tackle from Australian Nick Fielding, who shortly after crossed the line to sew up the game at 26-20 with his second touchdown.
Trojans picked up a couple of points at Old Alleynians in a see-saw match that saw the lead change hands six times in the first half.
Johnny Gray's interception try got the ball rolling for Trojans and Alex Williams also went over. Emilien Cabale kicked five points but his side trailed 18-15 at the break.
In the second half Cabale picked up a drop-out ball and scythed his way through OA's defence to score and convert. Trojans seemed to be taking more control of the game and the forwards pushed over the line for Chris Lynch to touch down.
With 20 minutes to go and a nine-point lead, things were looking good for Trojans but, despite a number of attacks, it was OAs who added to the scoreboard with a goal, a penalty and a try to win 33-29.
Trojans' two points moved them up the table one place.

This was one of mine. A really good example of an athlete having a great day at the right time. It was cool to see Belgium win this plus a relay medal in Beijing. Vlasic probably wins the gold 9 times out of 10. Such a shame that she was hurt last year.
This was one of mine too. I thought if anyone was going to beat Vlasic, it might have been Slesarenko (who came perilously close to exiting in qualifying) but Hellebaut raised her game fabulously and I think she improved her season's best by 5cm in the final. Given the way she won the 2006 European Champs and the pentathlon at the 2008 World Indoors, she definitely had the big-time credentials but quite frankly I didn't see Vlasic losing to anyone.
