Details on how to locate a mobile phone location
How to locate a cell phone location: If you want to know how to track a cell phone location, you must go through this article. Even a few years earlier, the use of Global Positioning Technologies required the purchase of expensive software and hardware.
Nowadays, you no longer need to buy this expensive paraphernalia in order to locate a mobile phone, as these technologies are made easily available through telecom companies. Now, let me give you some background information and a few options that would help you to keep in touch with your friends and family.
How to trace cell phone location in case of emergency? Probably, one of the questions that bother you most, more so after 11th September 2001 is – "How do I trace a mobile phone location in case of emergency? " This event stimulated the demand for 911 emergency calling capabilities, thereby boosting demand for GPS tracking technology in mobiles. By 2005 end, most cell phone carriers had the capability to trace phone calls within 100 meters. Use GPS mobiles: Get to know how to locate a cell phone location
In order to comply with the requirements of FCC, cell phone carriers chose to integrate Global Positioning Technology into handsets, rather than completely overhauling their tower network. However, GPS technology used in most of the phones is not similar to the technology in GPS phones that you carry while you go for hiking. Usually, these mobiles do not allow you to have access to GPS data and thus, you must use a wireless network in order to trace a mobile number or get some clues about its current location. You will be able to trace a cellphone location only if you call 911 emergency services.
If you want to know how to locate a cell phone location, I must say that this is not possible if the cell phone owner you are searching for is not in possession of the right type of mobile connected to a proper network and enjoying the right type of services.
GPS enabled phones
If you would like to know how to locate a cell phone location, you can get in touch with cellphone service providers. Blackberry and Motorola were the first GPS enabled mobiles that grew in numbers in the United States. Earlier, Motorola "iDEN" was commonly used to track employees. Later on, GPS enabled Blackberries started penetrating the consumer market, although only business executives or government and corporate VIPs earlier used it. These mobiles were followed by the introduction of specialty devices that were devised keeping in mind the needs of children and senior citizens. From the year 2009, a number of cell phone tracing services have been made available along with the already dominant GPS enabled mobiles.
Wireless Networks
Although GPS enabled mobiles are good at tracing cell phones or tracing cell phone messages, they can never indicate your location to others if you are not connected to any wireless network. In the United States, cell phone carriers operate wireless networks that are utilized for GPS tracking. It is not possible to negotiate with cellphone carriers if you want an access to information on a particular number. I am listing a few carriers that you can use with GPS mobiles in order to trace the location of a cell phone.
T Mobile / AT & T
These carriers use GSM or Global System for Mobile, a network that boasts of the largest coverage footprint. Since these carriers are bound by a roaming agreement, the users can use their services effectively throughout the country. Global System for Mobile or GSM is a very popular network.
These carriers are not well acclaimed for their coverage, but they've earned a name because of the emphasis they put on data. Nextel, a company that gave a new meaning to the walkie-talkie, has created its data format and communication protocol for mobile electronics applications. It is also known for its commendable flexibility maintained in data communication between service providers (location based) and cell phones. A recent collaboration between Nextel and Sprint has further increased the footprint of this network.
It is also significant to note that wireless networks usually complement the cellular grid. Most of your phones are in possession of an electronic identifier. If this is enabled, it can pass on relevant information, thereby tracing you efficiently. There is little doubt about the huge radioscape of urbane environment being mapped, and if you choose to participate in Google Latitude or a similar service, you can be traced even if you are out of cell phone range or hidden from a GPS satellite!
LBS or Location Based Services
LBS providers have made an agreement with wireless network carriers in order to receive information from cell phones and make this accessible through the internet or call centers. The LBS providers are apt at providing you with the last known location of the user, but beyond this, the services offered may vary as they would depend on the mobile phone possessed by you and also on the capabilities of your service provider!
Now, let me tell you a few things that would help you to decide on which product or services you should choose.
Privacy and permissions
Let us talk about how to use these services effectively. If you are tracking a cellphone without the knowledge of its user, you may be in trouble. So, you need to get in touch with your service provider for more details.
Tracking application persistence: Let me mind you that any tracking application on mobiles has to be put on the phone by the subscriber. This tracking application may be enabled for a subsequent period depending upon the application that the phone is using. This feature would prove to be handy if you would like to avoid instructing the user on ways to put it on or off.
Passive Tracking devices: Some of the tracking devices are capacitated to record data internally and you can download it later on. Although passive tracking devices are not commonly used, these can be found in the more sophisticated cell phones like PDA's.
Hope you have become well acquainted with how to locate a mobile phone location and at the same time, understand the convenience of having a phone locate software installed on your phones!

Authorities said they were alerted by a local who claimed to have taken a photo of the animal in a supermarket car park.
Firefighters armed with paralysing weapons were mobilised for the search in the Seine-et-Marne district east of the French capital.
"We have been running after it since this morning, police officers are trying to intercept it," a police source said.
Town hall official Cedric Tartaud-Gineste said: "We are calling on inhabitants to be careful, not to leave their houses and to stay in their vehicles."
"Anyone who sees the tiger should call the police or the fire service," he added.
He said that a security cordon covering an area about the size of four or five football pitches has been set up around a wooded area.
The animal is estimated to weigh around 70kg (154 pounds).
Children have also been kept inside a school in the small town, which is 25 miles (40km) east of the centre of Paris.
A photo of the alleged tiger appears to show the animal lying on a grassy mound.
"My wife saw it this morning," Jean-Baptiste Berdeaux, who manages the Intermarche supermarket in the town of Montevrain, told the AFP news agency.
"She didn't get out of the car and called me to say 'I think I saw a lynx'," he said.
Authorities said they were hoping to catch the animal alive.
"If it's possible, we'll try and put it to sleep. If it becomes dangerous or aggressive, the order will be given to kill it," police said
It is not known where the animal comes from.
Montevrain is just a few miles away from Disneyland Paris but there is not thought to be a link to the theme park.
Authorities have also made enquiries at a big cat wildlife park 18 miles (30km) away and a circus that recently passed through town but no missing tiger has yet been reported.
Animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have urged the French authorities to "show restraint" in dealing with the tiger.
"Tigers who are relegated to prison-like cages in zoos and circuses are ticking time bombs," a statement said.
They added that the escape of the animal should be a "wake-up call" about the dangers of keeping animals in captivity.

Giuseppe (Joseph) Pontelandolfo celebrates 70 years of trade at Queen Vic Market.
Arrived in Australia from Italy at the age of 14.
Times were changing in Australia where there was a desperate shortage of labour and population growth was seen as essential for the country's future. The Italian workforce mainly worked in the heavy industries, in labouring work, building and construction, and as skilled tradesmen. They can be credited as the builders of the Snowy Mountains Scheme and the Warragamba Dam, amongst other major projects. The Italian women worked in shops, cafes and small businesses.
But the work dried up for Joseph, who had been working for the government. He tried the union, who suggested working at the wharf. After two weeks and no word on any work, Joseph went to the Queen Victoria Market office and asked for a stall. To his surprise, they said yes. Back then, the market was also home to the wholesale market so he bought a couple of boxes of oranges, being all he could afford, and built his business box by box from there. His first stall in H shed is the very same stall he works from today.
It was November 1946. The new H & I sheds had opened in May and were only trading on Fridays and Saturdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays Joseph would get any available spot in the upper market and for a time on Wednesdays he would get a lift down to South Melbourne Market with one of the old fellas who had a horse and cart. Joseph started with one moto which holds to this day. If the produce isn't good enough for him, then it isn't good enough for his customers.
Joseph says he's lucky. Lucky to have good customers, but also good neighbours. Working side by side with his dear friend Wing Chinn is one of the great stories of our market. Diverse in culture, Italian and Chinese, these two old mates have been rivals in business, but friends in life for all of their lives. To this day they joke around and chatter as if no time at all has passed, both working alongside their sons, who have grown up amongst the tomatoes, and lettuces and the great big market family.
Joseph's son John started working with him at the market when he could walk. As a young man, he worked in an office for 12 years, but continued helping out two days a week, going out to the wholesale market with his Dad before heading into the office. Eventually, John left his job in insurance and joined his dad at the stall full time. He jokes that Joseph didn't pay him for the first eight years, but now things have come full circle and John doesn't pay his Dad! For 30 years they've been in business together and although Joseph thinks John's business ideas are too modern they still manage to see eye to eye on one thing – it's their customers that get them out of bed each day and the relationships they've formed with all sorts of people from all walks of life. Every day is a memorable one for these two because of the people who visit their stall. They've seen people come and go, move overseas and interstate, but they always return at some point to the market. Even if they don't buy a thing, they've bought Joseph happiness, he says, just by stopping by to say hello.

I've MOVED!!! To another service…
Re-Imagining will be moving to a different host very soon.
The reason for this move is to hopefully gain easier functionality and customization from the blog. Making it both easier to navigate and more pleasant to look at.
This URL will remain active for the next month while I test out the new system, but no guarantees after that.
Here is the URL to my new blog: http://www.richmeadeblog.com
Thanks for reading!
The Evolution of a Retoucher
How does one become a skilled image editor (retoucher/editor)?
For me, there was an evolution. The so-called learning curve that all photographers (in this digital age) must progress, to some degree or another.
Most of us start out with a book…Most of the time, its a waste of time.
How are we supposed to know what to look for? How do we know we are being taught what we want to learn?
Every retoucher goes through this stage. It's where we scour the internet and the book shelves looking for that ONE tutorial to solve all of our problems!
"Found it!….problem solved…"
"But wait…my image doesn't look like the one in the book! What do I do now?"
What most people don't realize is those tutorials/books are written with very specific examples, that tend to work wonders on the image used in the tutorial, but the steps outlined have little or no application to what you want to work on.
Back to scouring the internet.
It finally dawns upon us…
"hey, Maybe if I try this part of that technique, and combine it with that…."
Now we are solving our own problems.
ah… but we find that it takes a loooooong time to retouch those 20 images we promised that young model from Model Mayhem.
"There has to be a quicker way!"
This is the dreaded BLUR stage. This stage includes such catastrophes as:
Third party actions
Third party plugins
and Skin Blurring
This stage isn't all bad, but most people never progress beyond this stage.
It's a necessary step if for nothing else to learn what NOT to do.
Too impatient to take the time to do things properly, we look for ways to just make post-production go as fast as possible, with "ok" results.
We get stuck in the swamp of mediocrity. Reinforced by the positive comments of the ill informed around us.
But if we can climb out the other side, we not only have an eye for the good, but we can definitely spot the bad!
"but how do we get to the otherside?"
First…comes patience…
We practice.
Only with practice do we learn,
Only with practice do we get faster,
Only with practice does our work get better…
"That's funny…I've heard that somewhere before"
Only with practice can we get to a point where retouching/editing is just another step in the process.
No different than setting up a backdrop, booking a model, or finding the perfect location.
Only then does post-production become a tool to enhance our work.
I've been retouching for the better part of 7 years…. and just to prove I'm not blowing smoke…I've posted a gallery of my "evolution".
The evolution never stops…there is always something new to discover.
I strive each and every day to be better and more efficient at what I do…
Don't settle.
Some things… you just shouldn't do…
You gotta love how my blog is turning into one big rant space…
So last night, while milling around Facebook… I noticed a "Friend" posted some new images to an album.
One of the images was mine that we (the friend and I) shot a few weeks back for an editorial, but something was off.
The proportions were off, so I investigated further.
Not only was my watermark removed…but this friend had put their own in it's place.
As you can see in the image.. I expressed my displeasure. I proceded to email this person and request that they take down EVERY image of mine, from Facebook, or anywhere else they may have been posted by her, and that her rights to use my images have been taken away.
The offenses aren't limited to just Facebook… On her website…images have been cropped, and watermarked by her… but they have also been "edited" beyond what I provided.
This is absolutely unacceptable without my permission.
The following is her response to that email:
"The Only reason they are cropped is because you put your "phone number"
so big in every single picture. I've never had a photographer give me
unedited photos with their phone number on the picture. It's not
professional and I put my own watermark on them to ensure no one would
take the pic…my site is in flash.
I work too hard to take those pictures down so if you want a copyright
watermark that I've seen on your facebook photos that's fine send me
those. You had your name and number too big on the picture it was
You can be upset but Im a stylist with a professional site and I'm not
going be advertising photographers..so u can send me those with a
proportional watermark that's not giantic distracting viewers from your
Now… She has a point… The images I send out have a fairly big watermark that stretches across the entire bottom of the image… but it serves a very important purpose… It "inspires" people to contact me for an un-watermarked version to which I ask where its going to be placed. Those too lazy to ask, have to deal with a big obnoxious watermark.
But, its a simple matter of asking me for another copy.. and I am happy to oblige.
However… she has no inherent rights to my images. As far as the LAW is concerned those images wouldn't exist if I wasn't there to hit the shutter. Of course there are all kinds of moral conundrums associated with this… but the bottom line is that the Photographer and ONLY the photographer has the absolute right to do with the images what he/she wants.
The one exception is a person's likeness…(hence the need for model releases)
Here is my response to that email:
"I understand your concern about the watermark ..
But you are missing the point…
You modified my images without my permission… Had you asked before making changes I would have provided you unwatermarked images.
You also are missing the fact that you edited the images beyond what I did… That changes MY work…
At the end of the day April… those images are my property, and I have the absolute right to say and do with them as I please.
I want you to remove every image from your website, and anywhere else you have them.
You right to use my artwork has been revoked, and nothing is going to change that.
This goes for your blog as well (even tho nothing was changed about those images).
So you can take them down yourself… Or I can send a DMCA to Godaddy and they will do it for you.
If you aren't familiar with a DMCA take down notice… you should read up on it."
Her response:
"I took them down..but you wouldn't of given me images with just your copyright if that was the case you would have done it in the first place. Your whole purpose was to advertise. I know about DMCA and you are missing the point that I'm not out trying to steal your credit or claim someone else did the work that you did. I get that its your work, but I'm glad that this happen so in the future I know what to put in a written contract to ensure that if a photographer wants to work for free with me he won't be able to put anything other than his copyright name..and not send me pics for me to use….advertising his work."
Moral of the story children…
The images you collaborate on…belong only to ONE person…
The Photographer…
Don't assume you have any right to alter or use images you worked on. They are NOT your property.
99.9% of photographers…Including me… are more than happy to accomodate any reasonable requests you may have with regards to images produced. Removing a watermark, or editing an image for you is not a big deal, and is a totally legitimate request (in most cases).
But NEVER assume that it's ok to alter another persons artwork without their permission.
If she would have only asked… all of this would have been avoided.
UPDATE: After sending a DMCA notice via Facebook… the offending image has been removed.
Show your money maker!
Every visual artist with a portfolio has one piece that makes up a client's mind as to whether or not to book them.
Their entire portfolio may be exceptional…but there will always be that one image, clip, or layout that strikes a cord with the audience.
But how do you know which pieces are "the ones"?
I can tell you that from experience… my most "successful" images have been the ones that I did because I felt them. I felt so strongly about the images, either while shooting or editing, that I just knew that I had made something I was proud of.
My portfolio is a collection of images that I like. Of course I'm careful about what I show, but ultimately if I don't like it, I'm not going to show it.
But am I limiting my potential work?
However…what I'm showing is me.
I can spend hours shooting, editing, and retouching images, in hopes that a particular client or magazine will love them and want use them.
But what if they don't?
If it wasn't something I had my heart in…what is the value of that work now that no one else likes?
I used to worry about shooting for other people…I loved hearing feedback (still do), but that's what I was shooting for…Validation.
At the end of the day when the ticker tape parade stopped, and the excitement over the latest greatest shoot was over… I was still stuck with images I didn't truly think represented me as a photographer or as an artist.
The point is…we can tweek our ideas, concepts, and art towards clients…but ultimately the client hires an artist for their unique perspective. I doubt most clients want some cookie cutter remake of something they've done before.
Produce work for you… and FIND the clients that want your work.
Of course bills and rent don't always allow for this mentality…but at the end of the day, when it's time to be creative and have fun doing what you love…
Why do it for someone other than yourself?
Open your doors and light some candles!
For the most part I consider my self a very independent photographer.
I rarely ask for favors or even have an assistant (most days).
I've learned to make due with what I have, and If I don't have something I need I go and get it.
I think most of the shooters here in Atlanta are like that. And proud of it.
But on some level I think there is a sense of paranoia when it comes to helping a fellow shooter out.
Most shooters here in Atlanta tend to keep to themselves for some fear opening up will allow someone to take what they have.
Not stealing equipment, or food, but techniques and possibly clients.
For me this paranoia is one of the reasons why Atlanta isn't progressive as far as its photography goes.
When I worked in New York, there was a sense of generosity…there were various communities of artists that not only competed with each other, but supported each other. If you were in need of a great stylists…your buddies would suggest one to you. Or If you wanted to work with a particular agency, they'd hook you up with a contact. People would invite you on set, just to hang out, not expecting anything more than your company and occasional opinion.
Back in the late 80's early 90's, there was a cluster of up and coming photographers, stylists, and makeup artists in England that all knew each other via assisting and various connections in the business. Most were just doing their own thing, having fun, and shooting what ever motivated them.
They would run into each other in the photo labs while developing their boss's film. They'd shoot the shit about what they were working on and critique each others work. They'd suggest their friends for shoots, and gladly open up their shooting spaces and locations to help out a fellow shooter.
This group made up of all different styles of visual artist, went on to influence one of the largest movements in fashion (that is still prevalent today).
With each other's help they were able to break into the American market, and take the world by storm, even discovering who is arguably the greatest model ever. They pushed each other's work, not only competitively, but gave support when it was needed. To them it was about the art…not the individual.
Who was in this group?
Nick Knight, Rankin, Edward Enninful, Corrinne Day, Pat McGrath, Craig McDean, Juergen Teller, and David Sims, just to name a few.
So next time a fellow shooter asks for a hand…remember that you may be in their situation on day.
If you feel jealousy towards another photographer for using your technique, shooting your Muse, or working with your favorite makeup artist just know that: "You can light many candles with one flame without shortening the life of your own." -Buddha
We are all a part of the same community. If we keep cutting each others legs out just to get a buck, we (as a group of artists) can't move past our own borders.
By the way…if you hadn't guessed, the model was Kate Moss.
I'm fat…and happy…are you? [rant]
I make deprecating fat jokes all the time about myself. People invariably give me the same reaction…"Aww you're not fat…your perfect the way you are".
Thanks!… But I'm fat…
The statement, "no you are perfect" tells me that that person is being nice, and really does care about appearances.
But in my mind being "fat" has only one meaning… "I am medically overweight, and that carries some serious risks".
I could give two shits about what people think, of me…Really. I used to…but was never motivated enough to "get in shape" to look better.
Now my choice to lose some weight is driven by the simple fact that I will live longer if I lose some of this extra poundage.
Not by Vanity.
I didn't mean this to be some sappy personal statement, but getting back into the fashion "industry" is putting me in touch with people who are just so superficial it hurts me to even speak to them. Maybe I don't have what it takes be in this industry.
Those of you who know me, know that I don't pull many punches, and I speak my mind anytime I feel the need, and given the opportunity (Clearly).
In an industry that is all about image, and style, and hinges on what other people think…I stick out (Now) as someone who really doesn't care about all of that. Not only because I'm overweight, I don't own any "designer" pieces, I don't go to Socialite parties, but because…
I'm here to be me, shoot what I want, how I want, and if people like it…Great!
If they don't… Fuck'em
This city is full of followers, and people who just "do", because someone else told them to.
Not me!
And that makes me happy!
Are you "good" at email?
Now who would have thought that this would be a logical question? I know I didn't.
But in the last few days I have realized that I am truly BAD at email.
Not bad in the sense I don't know how to send, read, forward, things like that… but I'm bad at being efficient with my emailing.
I receive on average 30 emails a day, mostly newsletters, and stuff of that nature, with about 5-10 truly important emails in the middle. I know some of you receive WAY more… I've heard of stories where people get 500+ a day, and they are all from real people!
This blows my mind! I can't even wrap my brain around that number of emails…especially that over the last 2 days the influx of an additional 30 (real people) emails has thrown me into a tizzy.
There is a guy named Merlin Mann…he's a writer and speaker, but I consider him a guru on efficiency. I've listened to a few of his podcasts and he mentions being good at email a lot. Most of the time, it was in the context of an office setting (cubicles), where you have a lot of work to get done, but people expect you to respond to their emails. He's even writing a book on email… called Inbox Zero.
Some of the points he makes in his talks, is to time manage your emailing, combine emails (don't send an essentially meaningless email that can either wait, or be combined with more important info), things like this. Now a lot of it seems to hinge on other people hopping on board as well, but I'm curious enough now to want to check out the book.
Between, reading, forwarding, CC'ing, Replying, Reply All'ing, I hit a wall where it occurred to me that there has to be a more efficient way to do this. Which there is… I'm sure it's already built into my email program, but I just need to learn to use it better.
Even though my email load is pathetic compared to some people, I hope that one day (and will probably regret saying this) that I have 100 meaningful emails a day to deal with.
Then again I'll just hire an intern…meueawhahahahah!
So are you "good" at email?
The Re-Edit (May), Stephanie
Yeah I know… "What happened to April?"
I have no idea… but its May, and it would be silly to do a re-edit and title it April now wouldn't it?
This time around I am fortunate to have some old school stuff I thought was lost forever!
You know how hard drive crashes go…
But recently a buddy of mine hooked me up and got one of my trashed HDD's working again, so I chose an old New York shoot for this months Re-Edit Project.
Stephanie was awesome! She was one cool chick, laid back, and up for virtually anything.
Unfortunately she hadn't done a whole lot of "Testing", for all tense and purposes she was a new model. You see she was on a TV show called Make Me a Supermodel and hadn't done much modeling before the show (they had just wrapped the last show a week before this shoot). She didn't win, but ended up signing with New York Models anyway.
So she comes out to our test with nothing really. No "model bag" of clothes, makeup, nothing, just strolls in with her purse. It was funny because I remember saying to her…"well, I don't think I would change what you are wearing anyway!". In her defense tho, she did have a paid gig scheduled after our test, which didn't require her to bring anything.
We shot for an hour or so in the stairwell of a friend's apartment building. We got some amazing stuff…simple…yet amazing.
Original Edit
Once again I recommend clicking the "Vimeo" button and viewing the full screen HD version.
Looking back at these images, I once again found more that I liked the second time around. Obviously my tastes are changing somewhat, but one thing stands out to me. I was consciously or unconsciously composing my images in these weird ways, and throwing the focus off here and there (ok.. the focus thing is bullshit), but what I found was images I had marked as throwaways are now grabbing my attention as visually pleasing pieces.
I think of all the little projects I do, the Re-Edits are the most fun, because I am able to simultaneously see my past "vision" and also see what I captured…but didn't SEE the first time!
Rebel T2i VS. 5D Mark II (pt.3)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls! It's time for the final round!
If you've missed the last 2 parts of this showdown, take a minute and check them out!
Part 1
Part 2
To sum up… I haven't found much to distinguish these two cameras apart when looking only at the images they produce.
Both have amazing high ISO performance, and both are fairly even when it comes to color rendition and dynamic range.
Round one went to the Rebel T2i, mainly because the results didn't provide a clear winner, and I defaulted to price as a tiebreaker.
Round two went to the 5D Mark II, again, the results didn't provide a clear winner, but the 5D provided a more visually "pleasing" image straight out of the camera. Not to mention I'm only doing 3 rounds, and needed to keep you all on the line for a 3rd installment!
So now I'm going to break down some of the notable features of the two cameras, and see if we can't find a clear winner in this race.
To start… I am not going to cover the video qualities of these cameras. Frankly because I know very little about video. But for the sake of thoroughness I will point out the statistical similarities of both cameras video production, and other features (well, the ones I feel are important enough to note)
I used Canon's website for reference, feel free to compare the numbers yourself at http://www.usa.canon.com.
This is a crucial area for a lot of photographers, and with each and every passing year we photographers get more and more dependent on autofocus. Don't tell me the first time you tried doing video with a "hybrid" SLR you didn't get frustrated with having to manual focus!
Both Cameras AF systems work off a 9-point AF system, with identical features. However, the 5D has 6 more points that Canon calls "assist points". For all tense and purposes these are just more spots to focus with. The speed of which a camera focuses actually has to do with the lens, so speed isn't a factor here besides the time it takes for the photographer to put the highlighted AF point on the subject.
This one surprised me!
The 5d uses a 35-zone TTL metering system, the Rebel… a whopping 63-Zone! (same as the 1D Mark IV). Whats that mean to you professionals out there? Well if you use a handheld light meter… absolutely nothing. But if you're a Program mode shooter (P,Tv,Av,GB), then the Rebel is taking more information into account when it looks at a scene, and could give you a better exposure because of it.
Well this isn't my strong suit, but here goes.
Both cameras can do Full HD (1920×1080), and with 5D getting a recent firmware update, they also can capture video the same (as far as frame rates). The difference comes in the file format. The Rebel uses H.264 which from my understanding is the most "web" friendly. The 5d uses MOV. Can I tell you the technical differences between the two? No… Do I care? Not really. They both can do Full HD, they both have Mic ins, and both have HDMI outputs. So I'm going to generalize this and call it even as far as video goes.
Frames Per Second
Same (essentially)… Rebel's = 3.7…. the 5D's = 3.9….. OH DAMN! (disappointing in both cases)
File Size/Megapixels
5d has 21.1 Megapixels whereas the Rebel only has 17.9…
Consider this. When you add megapixels to an image, they get added around the outside….(think wrapping a gift). It takes more to make the file bigger… as the file gets bigger. So all you pixel peepers out there wanna guess what that extra 3.2 megapixels amounts to?
1.3 megabytes in file size. 1.8 inches on the long side at 240dpi, and 1.2 inches on the short side. On an image that is already 22″ long how much you really going to miss that extra 2 inches? (minds out of the gutter you pervs!)
But more is better right?
LCD Screen (Monitor)
Surprisingly enough.. the Rebel wins again. Their LCD's are exactly the same size (3in), but the Rebel has 1,040,000 dots, and the 5D has 920,000. Making the Rebel's screen slightly higher resolution.
Both Cameras offer an additional Vertical Grip. Both grips allow for the use of AA batteries, or 2 proprietary batteries. Both have controls for vertical shooting. Neither increases any of the qualities of the camera its attached to… such as increased FPS. The difference here is price. 5D's =$250, the Rebel's =$160. Oh.. but the 5D's is slightly bigger…(if size really matters…)
This is the big one.
Both sensors are CMOS, that capture 14bit native RAW files.
The 5d's sensor is a full frame 35mm sensor, whereas the Rebels is an APS-C size sensor, with roughly a 1.4x magnification factor when used with 35mm lenses.
For some people the smaller sensor is an advantage, sports shooters in particular. But it comes with problems. You lose wide angle capability, and can produce some unwanted side effects when using native 35mm glass.
For example:
Cropped sensors have more depth of field, that is to say its harder to throw things out of focus with a cropped sensor. This has to do with physics and ray tracing which I won't get into here. It also can cause the Bokeh of a lens to change, this relates back to the depth of field issue. Another side effect is a tendency for more Chromatic Aberration (color fringing)… again, this relates to the physics of the position of the sensor with relation to how the light rays pass through the lens and where they strike the sensor.
Unlike Nikon, Canon has not committed to producing lenses for its cropped sensor cameras. The most it has done is produce "kit" lenses to accompany these cameras at purchase. It has been brought to my attention that in fact Canon does produce a line of lenses for the APS-C sized sensor… the EF-S series (Thanks Kimani!).
For me… its clear that neither camera is "Superior" to the other. Both are exceptional cameras, that produce exceptional files. Very few technical aspects separate these two. The most notable is the size of the sensor. And to be honest, is the sole reason I envy the 5D owners. But for the most part, these cameras are interchangeable, particularly when you strip away all the bells and whistles and get down to the bare bones important stuff… which is the file they produce.
Personally, I've always believed it's the photographer not the camera that makes great images. Will these cameras help you make better images? Depends on who you ask. They are tools. Is one screwdriver better than another? Thats how I look at cameras.
When all is said and done, and everything is taken into account. We have the price.
5D comes in at roughly $2750 (including the battery grip, no lens)
Rebel comes in at $960 (including Grip, no lens)
For me the clear winner (taking into account all the factors) is the Rebel T2i.
If you can manage to live without a full frame sensor, and are like me and like to re-check their focus points before firing, then put that extra $1790 into an 85mm 1.2L Lens.
When I start raking in the dough then I will upgrade my camera body to match my stellar collection of glass!
Until then, I'll keep using the Rebel.
If you can win the race in a Pinto, why buy a Ferarri?

I have to admit, if you want to talk to me about seafood, I don't have much to say, other than that I find particular deliciousness in certain breeds of fish. The finer points concerning shellfish and other various creepy-crawlies of the ocean's wide expanse don't really entertain nor entice. In fact, I find many undersea creatures far too alien for me (to eat). For example, I call lobsters "Ocean Roaches". So yeah. I'm not the best person to ask.
However, this trip back to Japan, my husband finally had the opportunity to munch away with our two other friends – normally he wouldn't take me to many seafood places (knowing that it's not my stomach-forte). Taking advantage of this numerical upper-hand, we visited the local Isomaru Suisan (磯丸水産) at Takadanobaba not once, but twice, during our 4 night stay in Tokyo.
Isomaru Suisan at Takadanobaba is one of many in this chain izakaya's massive repertoire. Like all izakaya it serves up good quality – well-priced food with the added bonus of copious booze at very reasonable prices. Isomaru Suisan has a significantly seafood-centric menu – and literally pages and pages of choice. The sheer amount of choice was blinding – and we spent much time poring over the random things we could stuff into our faces. As a non-seafood professional, there was still enough in the menu to keep me entertained (and full).
A nifty little bonus with this place is the presence of personal grills so you can spend your time anticipating food as you grill it to delicious perfection – and in many cases, only you can be blamed for your own late-night stomach cramps. The unfortunate downside of this is the strong smoke-fish stank that comes with it. So be prepared to enter this restaurant to the overwhelming smell of cigarettes and grilled seafood – oh, and to exit it smelling much the same. We got so used to smelling like random burnt things we actually set aside what we called our "BBQ Outfits" to wear to places where we could potentially run into smoke stench. We also investing in a bottle of extra-strength Febreze.
Salmon ochazuke – my favourite thing to eat in the colder months (and you'll see it again in future eating adventures). A simple rice dish that combines green tea, steamed rice and assortment of savory ingredients with salmon sashimi and wasabi. Amazing when the temperature drops.
Fresh squid tube – pre-cut, that you can baste with the available sauces and then pick off to eat – and basically a sliced up kabana in butter – super simple, but absolutely delicious.
An assortment of different shellfish – you can actually select them by the type – in this case, a selection of fresh scallops, clams and whelks. They provide you with a variety of different tools and condiments to baste and cook your shell-fish (and other BBQ-able) eats to perfection. In the case of the whelks, once cooked, the small shell over the body is supposed to pop open with a jab of a well-placed pair of chopsticks. In some cases, as we witnessed at a nearly table, they need to be coaxed out with a vigorous slam with a pair of scissors – we witnessed a slightly splashy end to that whelk.
Kani Miso – crab meat, miso and what appears to be crab insides mixed together and then grilled. Apparently this is absolutely delicious. My husband nearly went as far to lick the inside of the shell clean. Because he's a classy brother.
Clams steamed in sake and butter – cooked on your own table, so I had an entertaining time observing my friends and husband staring at the table for a solid 15 minutes. Oh, and then ravenous eating. Then my husband declaring he needed more clam soup.
They also provide an assortment of free fish cakes and tasties that you can grill away as you wait for other things to cook – an FYI – they really don't take too long to cook (they're pre-cooked) so a small heating up on your grill should do the trick. We lost a few fish cakes simply by underestimating the power of our tiny grill!
I think on our first visit, we were visiting quite late in the night (around 11PM, after landing and eating Christmas KFC) and we were joined in the restaurant by a huge variety of different salarymen – a handful were clocking away at numerical puzzles (yes, really) while absent-mindedly turning their burning seafood, others were celebrating with much drink raising and enthused shouting and one particularly sozzled man was busy talking to a wall in the back corner of the restaurant (a waiter went to go fetch him). So if you want to ease yourself into Japanese izakaya-culture without having the nervous jitters of going to a back-alley bar, starting at a local Isomaru Suisan is a recommended idea – people watching is always a lot of fun!
Consistently fresh, easy to order and satisfying unpretentious food at locations that are open 24 hours – this place is actually pretty spiffy. As the least qualified to speak of the deliciousness of seafood, I can say that what I did eat was delicious and fresh – and if my fellow travelling companion's stomachs are to go by, everything else was damn tasty too.

Diane from Lehigh Acres writes,
We have cans of this left over from a treatment 3 years ago. Is the product still good?
The Pro Control could certainly still be good if it was stored properly over that 3 year time frame. Most insecticides are good for at least 3 years and often up to 5 years.

t1 is the tabular t value for the desired confidence level and the degrees of freedom of the initial sample
d is the half-width of the desired confidence interval
s is the standard deviation of the initial sample
If we collected and ran five samples from the same block and same treatment, we might obtain data like that above. We decide that an alpha level of 5% is acceptable and we would like to be able to get within .5 units of the true mean.
The formula indicates that to gain that type of precision, we would need to run 14 samples per block per treatment.

I'm coming to DC to attend a conference with 3 colleagues. We have reservations for Jaleo (arrival night- near hotel) and Central (Friday night.) For Saturday we are hoping to go to a fun area with lots of restaurants, bars, etc to check out before and after dinner. What are your thoughts on Alexandria (Old Town), Georgetown, Dupont Circle? Close to the metro is a plus, we are staying in Crystal City.
Two of us are adventurous eaters... and the others said they are willing to try something different. I see Ethiopian is well regarded in DC, but have never tried it. Thoughts on this? Other ethnic suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can we all just take a moment on the fact that Kesha is still alive after having the blood pressure and sodium of a dead person.
Kesha deserves a Grammy so much. Or at least to be nominated.

Early spring is a period of widely fluctuating gradients between aerial and soil temperatures. Aerial temperatures affect growth and N demand of seedlings while temperature and N availability in the root zone alter the ability of roots to supply the plant with N. The purpose of this study, in which tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants were grown in a temperature controlled, flowing nutrient solution system within a controlled-environment room, was to determine the independent effects of aerial temperature, root-zone temperature, and NO3- concentration of nutrient solution and their interactions on growth and N accumulation. In each of nine experiments consisting of all combinations of day/night aerial temperatures of 22/18, 26/22, and 30/26 C and solution NO3- concentrations of 3.5, 7.2, and 14.6 mM, plants were grown for 38 days at root-zone temperatures of 16, 24, and 32 C. For analysis of variance the study was considered as a 33 factorial. Plants were sampled at 14, 19, 24, 31, and 38 days, dried, weighed, and analyzed for total N and soluble carbohydrates.
Root-zone temperatures had greater effects on growth than either aerial temperature or NO3- concentration. Plant dry weight, leaf area, and stem height were less at 16 C than 24 and 32 C root temperatures. The reduction in growth at 16 C apparently was attributable to initial water stress and reduced loading of N from the root into the vascular system. Reductions in dry matter and N accumulation of plants associated with reductions in root temperature were enhanced as aerial temperature was increased and solution NO3- concentration was decreased. This suggests an interrelated and synergistic effect of the variables.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

In September, I started working as a publishing assistant at an independent publishing house. Shortly after I started, I was getting drinks with one of my co-workers, and I asked if he was a writer. It's clear that everyone I work with loves books, but people don't generally talk about their own writing, so I was curious. He replied that he used to write more often, mostly nonfiction, but said, "at some point, I think you have to choose between being an editor and being a writer." This took me by surprise, and I've been thinking about it ever since.
My immediate reaction was "Bullshit!" but the more I thought about it, the more I wondered whether his statement might be more true than I'd like to believe. He went on to explain that when working on the substantive editing of a manuscript, he's deeply immersed in the author's writing, and it becomes difficult to extract himself and to write without drifting into the style and voice of the writer whose words he's focused on.
Part of my suspicion of his assertion stems from the fact that I think it's important that writers learn how to steal from each other. Not plagiarize, obviously, but I find it useful to get out of my own head sometimes and re-remember the weird and new things you can do to language as a writer. I'll turn to John Berryman or Carl Phillips—poets who write poems much different than my own—when I'm having trouble writing something new. And sometimes, if I'm really stuck, I write imitation poems or I choose the line of a poem I can't get out of head and use it as the title or first line for one of my own pieces. Of course, this can create its own set of problems. I've rolled my eyes at many poems that lean too heavily and too obviously on James Wright's "A Blessing" or Rilke's "Archaic Torso of Apollo" but another way to look at stealing is to see it as a form of learning. And I think it's important to steal language anywhere you can—dictionary definitions, street signs, eavesdropped conversations, etc. If you're a good writer, the language you borrow will be transformed from an imitation to something wholly your own.
On the other hand, my co-worker's point comes from a place of experience. When I think about it, I have not been in the position he's in as an editor, elbow-deep in someone else's words for months at a time. There may not be enough brain-space to do both. My job at the publishing house is mainly on the production side of things, coordinating with our freelance designers and copy-editors, and making sure all of the books go to the printers on time. I do become involved with each book, but I'm not working with an author to shape or clean up a manuscript. I read the finished work, and though that of course can affect me, my job doesn't force me to get into the writer's head or to think about the work in the way that a developmental editor does. My past experience as Poetry Editor of Willow Springs also didn't involve heavy editing. Though I occasionally worked with poets for small rewrites or revisions, the pieces we accepted were more or less in a finished state.
Not to mention that while working on Willow Springs, my main job was to be an MFA student, which is to say that my main job was to write and learn how to improve my own craft. I suppose when your main job becomes that of an editor, it risks feeling selfish to focus on your own writing, particularly if it distracts you from the job you're being paid to do. So perhaps my defensive reaction to the idea that one can't be both an editor and a writer comes from the fear that I will someday have to choose a path when what I really want is to be both.
There are, of course, numerous examples of those who do both successfully. Matthew Zapruder is an editor of Wave Books and an accomplished poet. In an interview with Ploughshares, when he was asked how the two roles join up for him and whether being an editor was helpful to his writing, Zapruder said:
Yes, it is helpful to be an editor, mostly because a lot of the thinking about line edits, and discussions with poets about what they have done and why and what would be best, are good for my concentration, and for enlarging the ways that I think about poetry. I have benefited greatly from the experience of being an editor in much the same way I have benefited as a poet from being a translator.
I agree with a lot of what he says here. But not every writer is a good editor. And not every editor is a writer, nor do they need to be. I think what's key about both roles is that you have to be well read, to be familiar with how language works and with what makes a piece of writing successful. I think the concentration and education Zapruder talks about gaining through editing can also be obtained from reading a lot and thinking critically about the choices a writer makes.
One of my graduate professors often advocated for having a "muffin man" job—a job that paid the bills, but that you could go home and not think about at the end of the day. A job, in other words, completely separate from your "job" as a writer. That might seem an odd thing for a creative writing professor to recommend, but I can see how it might be beneficial for some. I've heard many professors express how difficult it is to teach creative writing or even rhetoric all day and then have energy left over to dedicate to their own work. But I don't know that I'd be as happy working outside of the writing realm. And I certainly can't think of many other jobs that would leave me feeling so fulfilled.
Perhaps the debate between being a writer and being an editor, like that of the muffin man job, varies from person to person. Some people, I'm sure, can't work with other voices in their heads. Some people rely on it. I haven't had to choose a single path just yet. I'm hopeful that I never will.

There you have it — Asterisk on the Gumstix SBC. Having said that, it's not actually doing anything with the media. It's a basic voice router, and that has been done before. If you recall, IPTel had SER running on an iPaq at one point.

It actually does process the media, it just doesn't transcode (but it CAN – and that's the point). You also have access to Asterisk's rich applications – Voicemail, etc. My original intended application was for a SIP -> IAX proxy. Quite different from SER!

"Winning the lottery" at Raffles.
Canouan Travel Blog› entry 8 of 15 › view all entries
February 11th, 2007 – by: cmgervais
We landed at the small airport and were met by an uber-efficient Raffles Resort concierge, who drove us to the resort in a private car. During the 20-minute drive we learned that Raffles is pretty much IT in Canouan. Not a whole lot else to do. That's OK, because the resort is supposed to be stellar.
The reception area was absolutely gorgeous, and I was thrilled to be upgraded to a junior suite! I felt like I won the lottery, especially since I am getting a very special rate as it is.
Our room is spacious and completely wonderful. We showered up and headed to the special BBQ meal, A.K.A. "The Great Rip Off." The live music and beach setting was quite nice, but there was a dearth of vegetarian-friendly foods on the buffet. Bottom line: we paid $200 for a salad, dessert, and one drink each.
Thankfully, our cushy wonderful room relieved some of the pain of being completely extorted off for dinner...

Hesperidin is a chemical that is primarily found in the Rutaceae family of citrus fruits. Its most abundant source is the bitter orange, known scientifically as Citrus aurantium, which many contain up to 2,500 parts per million of hesperidin. Other citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges also contain high levels of hesperidin. A few plants outside the citrus family such as peppermint have a significant hesperidin content.
The French chemist Lebreton first isolated hesperidin in 1828 from the inner white layer of citrus fruits known as the mesocarp. He named it after "hesperidium," which is a Latin word for citrus fruits. Hesperidin is chemically classified as a flavanone glycoside, and it also has an aglycone form called hesperetin. A hesperidin molecule consists of a hesperitin molecule bound to a rutinose molecule, which is a disaccharide. This sugar molecule makes hesperidin more soluble in water than pure hesperetin.
Plant defense is the primary biological role of hesperetin, which also gives citrus fruits their characteristic flavor. Sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis) are the most abundant dietary source of hesperidin. The highest concentrations are in the peel and mesocarp, so orange juice with pulp has more hesperidin than orange juice without pulp. Hesperidin is inexpensive to produce at high levels of purity since it is a natural by-product of citrus fruit cultivation.
Hesperidin and other related flavonoids such as rutin can reduce the permeability of capillaries, which is their primary biochemical effect. These flavonoids may also produce many other pharmacological effects. Normal dosages of hesperidin and its related compounds have no reported signs of toxicity.
The most common uses of hesperidin supplements deal with the support of the circulatory system. Specific benefits include the support of the immune system and the management of swelling.
An oral supplement of hesperidin and diosmin may also help to support the immune system's ability to heal ulcers, especially small, venous ulcers. This application typically lasts for two months.
Early research shows that a combination of hesperidin, butcher's broom, vitamin C and methyl chalcone may reduce swelling of the upper arm. This therapy may last for up to 90 days.
Some research indicates that a combination of hesperidin and diosmin can help to support the body's ability to manage anal hemorrhoids. The duration of these regimens was up to three months.
Hesperidin's most significant benefit appears to be supporting healthy circulation, especially in the legs.
The most significant indications that you may need hesperidin supplements are signs of unhealthy circulation, including an abnormal leaking of blood from the capillaries or visible bruising. This condition typically causes discomfort, weakness and cramps at night, especially in the legs. Additional signs that hesperidin could help you include heaviness, itching and swelling in the extremities, especially in the upper arms. Hemorrhoids and venous ulcers may also indicate that hesperidin supplements may benefit you.

One thing I always look forward to after coming home, is my Apple Cider Vinegar drink. I absolutely love the energy I get from it.
I usually experiment with different things to add to it to get rid of that bitter taste and have been LOVING adding it to my juices lately.
I've discovered that using Welch's 100% Grape Juice it the best taste, ever. I'm all about health & it helps that Welch's is great for an overall heart-healthy lifestyle (and a really good way to get your fruit in your diet!). Plus there is no added sugar (#winning).
Not only does this taste amazing, it's amazing for your health as well! Give it a try!
Grape Juice Detox:
1 cup Welch's 100% Grape Juice
2 tblsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 drops of Lemon Essential Oil ( optional)
Combine over ice, add a paper straw & enjoy!

Mangaluru: If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, it will look great and gives beauty to a place. But if the grass is allowed to grow wild, it looks ugly and ruins the beauty of the place- and this exactly what has happened inside the Mangala stadium ground and the newly constructed Practicing/Warm-Up ground adjacent to the stadium. Mangala Stadium which got a facelift last year during the 19th Federation Cup National Senior Athletics Championships 2015 which was held from 30th April till 4th May 2015. Seven months later due to poor maintenance, the stadium ground is in pathetic condition. The neglected Mangala stadium shows how a great initiative can be killed.
Warm-up ground for athletes near the stadium was made with a estimated cost of Rs 20 lakh with the expenses fully borne by Mangaluru City Corporation. A new compound wall was also built around this practicing ground. A new synthetic track was installed inside the stadium. The four-day event expenses were around Rs 1.50 crore, of which the state government pitched in Rs 1 crore. The remaining amount was generated through donations from public sector undertakings, major private industrial units, public sector banks, deemed universities, builders, other private companies and so on. MCC contributed Rs 20 lakh, which was tax-payers money. With all that money spent, the Mangala Stadium did get an extreme-makeover, including the ground/tracks etc during the National sports meet- but seven months later, it wears a dirty look with wild grass grown on other side of the fence/ inner surroundings of the stadium.
The practicing/warm-up ground constructed at a cost of Rs 20 lakhs is already in a bad shape. There are rocks, mud piled up, ground is dug up here and there, garbage scattered, grass grown on the field etc etc. Many a times this practicing ground is damaged when exhibitions etc are set up next to the ground. Due to negligence of the concerned persons, once the proud host of the 19th Federation Cup National Senior Athletic Championships 2015 is in shambles again- the facility is in a pathetic condition.
Even the outside surroundings of the stadium seating area has been covered with wild grass/plants-chances are that wild reptiles may find their homes in these wild bushes. Indeed a safety hazard for sports spectators. Wild grass is also grown inside the stadium, due to non-maintenance. You could also see water ponds here and there due to recent rains. The stadium which once looked nice is in horrible condition. Most of the stadium needs quick maintenance, before it gets worse. The stadium at present lays neglected. Quick action by the concerned authorities who are in-charge of the Stadium will only save this place from getting more worse- and dying!

How to use Interior BC?
Dear all,
I am meshing an air nozzle inside a gas pipe for CFD analysis. I want to have two separate domains for the nozzle and the pipe, and I can get this through blocking. But when I define the INTERIOR boundary condition at the interface between the two domains (i.e., where the nozzle exits into the pipe), I get the following error in Fluent
"Inappropriate zone type for one-sided face zone. Changing to wall"
I guess this happens becasue I have two overlapping meshes - if I display node numbers, there are overlapping nodes at the nozzle exit - obtained when meshing separately the two domains.
Is there any way to merge the two domains? I already tried with nodes merging but it does not work - the error in Fluent is
"Cannot change nozzle_outlet to interior because there is only one adjacent cell thread"
How to overcome this? Please help!
Thank you very much,
I managed in defining two domains divided by interior BC with following steps in ICEM
- Construction of geometry
- Construction of blocks
- Definition of pre-mesh
- Creation of a new part from blocks (this new part from blocks is the new domain "AIR" - the rest of the blocks constitute the other domain "GAS")
- Conversion of pre-mesh to unstructured mesh (two domains are present, but unconnected)
- Check of the mesh (errors are reported because cells at the interface between the domains are not referred to any edge)
- Fix such problem (ICEM automatically creates elements at the interface, these elements have to belong to a new part "INTERIOR")
- The BC INTERIOR can be assigned to the part "INTERIOR"
The mesh file thus generated is readable by Fluent!

Every morning I get up at the same time. I take exactly the same route to the station, and stand precisely in parallel with the corner of the ticket office. This means that when the train arrives, I am in front of the door. I stand on the right, not the left, because this lets me see when the final person is disembarking and slip on first. And I never buy a tea, or listen to my iPod; this would break my concentration.
As my Twitter followers will know, I have a daily duellist with whom I battle for a seat. He is a big, round man who hides his competitiveness under a relaxed exterior. Sometimes he takes random days off, just to faze me. Once he even got on one stop up the line, so that he was sitting smugly in a prime seat as the train drew in.
This morning, I commented that he seemed to be earlier than usual. "Nah," he replied provocatively, "I'm always here at exactly the same time, mate."
In the evening, competition is fiercer. My secret is to stand a foot south of the lamp post, exactly on the yellow line, at the front of a jostling knot of commuters. When the train comes in, a sublime level of precision required. The doors are unpredictable, and have been known to stray up to four feet from their proper position. I take a pigeon-step forward into the narrow gully between the yellow line and the train, and sidle sideways like a crab as the doors move past. This technique I like to call the "Commuter Spy Shuffle".
No doubt about it: the art of commuting requires training, concentration and courage. If it were an Olympic sport, then Great Britain would win gold.

Each year, Landmarks Illinois honors nine outstanding examples of excellence in Illinois historic preservation with the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Awards, which aim to inspire others to take action to preserve, protect and promote historic resources. This Saturday at a gala in Chicago, DSI's Immediate Past President Karen Conn and her partner in life & preservation, Court Conn, will receive the prestigious Leadership Award, recognizing their two decades of major preservation projects and revitalization successes in downtown Springfield through Conn's Hospitality Group (CHG).
Since 1995, the Conns have rehabilitated four historic buildings in the Downtown District, starting with the Inn at 835 on Second Street. The 1909 apartment building listed on the National Register of Historic Places was converted into a bed and breakfast and then expanded into a conference center.
In 2007, Court and Karen purchased property that was at one time owned by Court's great-great grandparents, Obed Lewis and Cordelia Iles, at Seventh and Jackson. The Lewis-Iles children were contemporaries of Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln's sons.
Ultimately, the couple made the difficult decision to raze the muddled family home in an effort to preserve another Lincoln-era structure. The Isaac Lindsey house, also known as the Lindsey-Maisenbacher Home, was famously moved down Seventh Street, six blocks to its present location at Seventh and Jackson. The Conns originally planned to turn this building into Springfield's first microbrewery, but it became apparent the building was not suited.
So the Conns renovated the once-prominent 1860s mansion of the Booth-Grundendike family at Sixth and Jackson Street (on the same block) and opened it as Obed and Isaac's Microbrewery & Eatery in February 2012, with Court's sons Adam and Casey. Obed Lewis' carriage house became the brewery and one of downtown's most popular outdoor patios with bocce ball court was born. (A few years ago, someone from Peoria enjoyed their time at Obed and Isaac's so much that they approached the Conns about opening a second location, which the family just did in an historic church in Peoria.)
Abraham Lincoln himself reportedly lent Lindsey $650 to build the home which the Conns had moved and saved. Lindsey's home was too small for a brewery but just right for a coffee house and café. Wm. Van's Coffee, celebrating its third anniversary this winter, offers specially roasted coffee and specialty coffee drinks, fresh baked pastries, and grab-and-go meals and has become a favorite hangout for entrepreneurs and their laptops.
Fruits and vegetables raised on the Conn family farm in Virginia, Illinois provide fresh, natural, local produce for all three venues.
The most recent revitalization occurred in a vacant 1960s-era commercial building at 7th and Monroe. The Conns acquired Widow at Windsor Antiques, and relaunched it as The Merchant House. The retail store features European antiques and contemporary furnishings.
Congratulations Court and Karen, and thank you for your commitment to downtown revitalization and providing modern uses for Springfield's unique, precious historic structures! Thank you also for many years of supporting the downtown district with your investments, your time, your counsel and your leadership.

text: I'd like to hear from some folks in the know about TG/CL. This week, a salesman from TG/CL left a lawn analysis form at my home. I laughed out loud when I saw it. It was incredibly inaccurate, but that's not the point of discussion here. In any event, the form indicated that apps are performed every 4 to 6 weeks. Pay as you go with no contract. Well that can be a big deal when considering total cost. My impression is that they will do about 10 apps per year in the Georgia climate. And of course the customer is probably expecting 6 or 7. I'd really like to know because this will help me sell against them. My guess is that they slide in as many as possible.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- A brain-computer interface can enable severely locked-in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients to answer yes-and-no questions, according to research published online Jan. 31 in PLOS Biology.
An international team of researchers worked with four locked-in ALS patients. The investigators used near-infrared spectroscopy combined with electroencephalography to measure blood oxygenation and electrical activity in the brain as participants were asked yes-and-no questions. The patients had been trained in how to focus their minds on the answers.
In some cases, the researchers knew the answers to the questions, such as, "You were born in Berlin" or "Your husband's name is Joachim." Others were open-ended, such as questions about whether they had back pain. The researchers estimated that the patients answered the questions correctly more than 70 percent of the time.
"If replicated with ALS patients in complete locked-in states, these positive results could indicate the first step towards abolition of complete locked-in states, at least for ALS," the authors write.

Not Just Theory Anymore: Gates Foundation Funds Malarial Mosquitoes, Being Bred In Labs To Destroy Their Entire SpeciesBy Staff, 5:18 pm
In Africa, scientists are preparing to use genetics to end malaria. The Gates Foundation is exploring technology that involves altering mosquitoes so that new generations are almost all male. Male mosquitoes don't bite people, and a population without females can't reproduce. It's never been done before. No one knows if a gene drive, once released into the wild, could jump to other species. Malaria is one of the greatest public health threats on the planet. If we have the power to end it, should we?
Africa-Focused Giving By U.S. Foundations Grew At Twice The Rate Of Overall International GivingBy Dana Sanchez, 8:59 am
Business investors aren't the only ones spotting Africa's potential. Name-brand foundations are also investing in Africa, making grants on a historic level. Still, charity has its critics. Akon is one of the most vocal. The U.S.-based rap star is one of the most famous impact investors in Africa — and one of the most prominent voices against giving charity to Africans. These are some of the biggest philanthropic foundations giving money in Africa.
Gender Equity Improves For African Women In Land Rights, Research With $5M Gates GrantBy Dana Sanchez, 1:19 pm
The Gates Foundation today awarded a $5 million grant to achieve greater parity among women and men in sub-Saharan African agricultural research. Patriarchal customs and lax enforcement can make it hard for female farmers to control their incomes, even in countries like Rwanda with progressive land laws. Governments should invest in education so rural women understand they have the right to own valuable land assets, said Agnes Kalibata, former Rwandan agriculture minister.
Opinion: What People In The U.S. Are Saying About GMOs In AfricaBy Staff, 9:20 am
We're having all the wrong debates about GMOs, according to a WashingtonPost opinion piece. We're arguing over how evil Monsanto is, rather than asking how government can regulate a system in which corporate, agricultural, consumer and environmental goals are often at odds. In Africa, chemical fertilizers and seeds that can't be saved are considered the enemy of tradition. "The people who push for this narrative are well-fed," says AGRA. "There's nothing dignified about going hungry."
12 Things To Know About The Gates Foundation In AfricaBy Keren Mikva, 9:22 am AFKI Original
In Uganda, the Gates Foundation has supported a genetically modified food project to create a new version of matooke, a banana-like staple devastated by banana leaf wilt. The GM project aims to create a modified version immune to the disease. A grant-making foundation created to tackle global challenges, the foundation still invites controversy. Here are 12 things you didn't know about the Gates Foundation in Africa.
Gates Foundation To Spend $60M On Fighting Ebola In West AfricaBy Kevin Mwanza, 4:19 am
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said on Wednesday it would spend $50m (£31m) – on top of $10m already committed – to support the emergency response to west Africa's Ebola outbreak – the group's largest donation yet to a humanitarian effort. "It became clear to us over the last 7 to 10 days that the pace and scope of the epidemic was increasing significantly," Chris Elias, president of global development for the world's largest charitable foundation, told Associated Press.

Classic Four Layer Chocolate Beet Cake

We started doing this cake in Aspen 20 some years ago and it hasn't lost it's appeal.
I guess you could say it's relatively "healthy" since we use ground beets in the batter. The beets are undetectable but make the cake incredibly moist and dark. We layer this with our decadent chocolate fudge icing.
Should you decide to add a layer of raspberries in the middle we use our house made raspberry preserves with whole raspberries.
