When venturing into online store business, it is not as easy as it may seem to people.it requires a lot of skills and at least some web design language. If there is no this knowledge there a lot of ecommerce platforms that can help greatly in designing your site. All that is needed is to choose a theme that supports your kind of business and any other tool that you may need in the website. To be successful in the online store business, there are various tips that can be taken into account.
- Clearly define your business.
This is the basic step before you can even open up the store. A successful business needs the right planning, have a clear mind on what you want to specialize in. It is necessary that you should write down what products and services that you wish to offer the potential clients, the target age group and the ultimate goal of your business.
The definition of your business should be easy to understand and clear. Once you have a clear definition of your business, it is now very important to convey this message to the website for the clients to see. Your business definition should be turned into a clear and understandable message. Make it a short sentence with a friendly mission and vision that the visitors can easily relate to.
- Design your website with the customer experience in mind.
When any client visits your website, they want to have a feeling that they can relate to. It is very important to ensure that your website is best suited for your target market. Your website should tell your potential clients about the specific goods you deal with and secondly, you should ensure that you answer the question why? Why should you be the preferred market place for the potential customers?
When it comes to design it is very important, as a fist timer to try to cut on costs. One of the ways is t choose the shopping plans that best suits your business size and meets the needs of your business. With shopify offering a 14-day trial it will be easy to settle for the best plan within this duration of time.
Also, it is very important that when designing the website, you should provide an easy check out for your customers. There is a tendency of customers leaving the shopping process at this stage especially id there is a difficulty in checking out. If you want success in your online store, you should not force your clients to create account in order to buy goods from your site. You should put up a guest option especially for those who do not want to sign up.
After following these two steps it is very important to show the client that you care about them. You can do this by following up, asking for a feedback from them. Even if the feedback may be negative, try to sound friendly and show that you will improve on the areas that they need improved. With this, you will get so much success in your online store.

Falling victim to a fraudulent investment scheme can mean losing anywhere from a few hundred dollars to your life savings. While most people might not see the harm in sitting through an investment seminar, the Better Business Bureau recommends researching the investment company first, rather than run the risk of falling for a financial siren song over a free lunch.
Investment scams and schemes can come in many forms and a common technique to lure people in is the offer of a free financial seminar over lunch. In one recent case, scammers invited senior citizens to estate planning seminars and later coaxed their victims into buying promissory notes for purported foreign country investments.
Free-lunch seminars can seem like an easy way to get a meal, but attendees run the risk of being drawn in by the slick presentations and promises of big returns. Unscrupulous seminars often lure in leisurely senior citizens who have time and exploitable retirement accounts and real estate.
When listening to an investment pitch, BBB recommends looking for the following red flags:
They require a large up-front investment. Untrustworthy schemers might try to convince investors to pay a large amount of money upfront so they can get out of town with a large haul, rather than wait for the funds to trickle in.
They promise high returns for low risk. Every investment comes with a level of risk. Typically, the amount of risk increases in line with the potential return on the investment. If the seminar is trying to sell an investment scheme that claims a high return with little or no risk, beware, even if it comes with the promise of a money-back guarantee.
They employ high-pressure sales tactics. Seminar leaders often use high-pressure sales tactics to get people to sign up without thinking it through. They might claim that there are only a few spots left or that you need to get in on the ground floor today to see the largest earnings. Any reputable investment company will let you take your time and do your research and will not pressure you into signing a cheque.
Investments rely on offshore investments. Many hucksters try to give their scheme an air of sophistication by relying on overseas investments, such as foreign currency, property, stocks and bonds. They also might claim, incorrectly, that you can avoid taxes by investing overseas.
It sounds too good to be true. At the end of the day, if the offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always listen to your instincts because the potential payoff is rarely worth the risk.
Check it out with the BC Securities Commission. To learn more about the investment opportunity, go to investright.org to check out the company or advisor.

Green Dewitt was born February12, 1787, in Lincoln County Kentucky. As an infant he moved to Missouri with the rest of his family. At the age of 18 he moved back to Kentucky where he studied for 2 years, after that he moved once again back to Missouri . In 1808 he married a
woman named Sarah Seely,during that year he also joined the militia and in 1812 fought in the war and assumed the rank Captain by the end of the war.

Fun Fact
Although Green Dewitt represented The District Of Gonzales in the convention of 1833,Dewitt never assumed an elected government position.
Colony Problems
Even though Dewitt's colony was doing pretty good he was unable to meet the deadline to bring in families so he and his colony ended up losing a lot of money to to that. Overall his colony didn't produce many materials and didn't make much money off of trading so there colony was bound to fail. A colonist once said "Money was as scarce a bread."

Green Dewitt's daughters dress was made into the famous come and take it flag for The Battle Of Gonzales.
Dewitt And Cholera
After traveling to the town of Monclova to try and save his colony Green Dewitt contracted a deadly disease known as cholera. Days later he died on the date of May 18, 1835.

If the initial diagnosis of John Lackey's arm injury is any indication, he and the Boston Red Sox should consider themselves lucky.
After throwing a pitch to Jose Reyes in the 5th inning, Lackey left the game with his right arm hanging there, eerily reminiscent of when a pitcher tears the UCL or does something to their shoulder.
Fortunately for the Red Sox and Lackey, the tests after the game showed his surgically repaired elbow was strong and that he suffered a biceps strain. He'll return to Boston for further testing.
With Franklin Morales still out for the Red Sox and if Lackey is expected to miss a start, we can expect Alfredo Aceves to step in for him until he returns unless the injury is serious.
But we'll wait for that.
As much as we all hate Lackey, it was awful to see him hurt like that. Hopefully things turn out okay for him.

I am happy to report I am now heading up business and client development for Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP, a full service business law firm based in Los Angeles, CA (#157 on AmLaw 200).
The choice to return to an in-house position was actually easier than I thought. My good friend Jennifer Skiver called me several weeks back to ask if I knew of anyone that could step up to fill a new position at her firm. They were looking for help where the rubber meets the road -- business and client development. While I have been mostly content as an agency owner these last many months I have to confess I missed the challenge and opportunity that comes from being on the "inside". So I said, "How about me?"
Fast-forward a few weeks and here I am, the new (excited and energized) guy at Allen Matkins. I am certain this experience will produce lots of new thoughts to share here at MC blog.
I am totally charged and cannot wait for what happens next!
In the spirit of full disclosure I have added a disclaimer in the footer of MarketingCatalyst to clarify that this blog is an independent effort focused on my knowledge and opinion about the marketing of law firms and professional services. My employer, Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP, does not contribute to the posts on this site.

Economy. Education. Energy.
Those were the topics Congressman Joe Donnelly presented at a panel discussion Tuesday morning.
Let's take one topic at a time:
The panelists say local employers struggle with recruitment and the quality of the workforce. Many young, bright students head off to bigger cities, and Congressman Donnelly and local leaders are working on ways to keep them here.
"We can be second to none, with our skills, with our talents, with our opportunities," Donnelly says.
"You've got a wonderful opportunity in this area because it is a smaller community where you can make a greater impact probably quicker than you could in a larger city," explains Phil Damico, Director of The Chamber of St. Joseph County.
Donnelly says 20,000 students drop out of high school every year in Indiana. That's about 35-40% in South Bend and its surrounding areas. In fact, 50% of South Bend High School students graduate from college, slightly less from Mishawaka, and slightly more from Penn.
This topic is intertwined with economy, because the panelists say if you can keep kids in school, and then encourage them to attend college and stay in this area, that will create a more viable workforce.
"I can see why a company wouldn't come here because they're not going to prosper because they're not going to be provided with workers that want to fit their needs," says Daniel Wise, an IUSB student from South Bend.
"I think the demands of 'No Child Left Behind' and state standards that are driven to prepare everyone for college, and the work place...well, it's really for college...and the work place is tagged on," Stephen Barkdull from Elkhart Area Career Center says.
Renewable energy is on the radar of our country, including its politicians. Donnelly says a new bill passed in Congress requires energy companies to use 11% renewable resources and 4% less energy by 2020. Also, it provides incentives for alternative energy companies.
"Our nation has to become energy independent. There are no other choices out there," Donnelly says. "Indiana can be one of the alternative energy capitals of American. We produce ethanol and bio-deisel. We have the opportunity to produce hydrogen power here, wind and solar.
"Indiana is fast becoming a large player in the production of ethanol and I think it's great for our state and the prospects it brings for economic development," says Glen Bode, Indiana Renewable Fuels.
One panelist may have put it best when he said, "this is the discussion that starts discussions."

Economic Integration and Macroeconomic Convergence in the Euro Area
In this paper I discuss various notions and aspects of integration and macroeconomic convergence, namely economic and monetary integration; real and nominal convergence. The EU has offered a great deal of information about the relation between all these types of integration and macroeconomic convergence. The EU has assumed that monetary integration is a precondition of deep economic integration and it has also assumed that the criteria to be adopted to converge to its own brand of economic and monetary union (EMU) are basically the same needed within the monetary union itself. Judging from the evidence of the first ten years of EMU, the actual relationship between real growth and inflation has turned out to be far from clear; and the paper provides a comparison between statistical evidence and the diverging predictions offered by two standard macroeconomic models.

The Casio Exilim EX-G1 is one of the latest 'rugged' cameras on the market, capable of taking a beating and a dip. After writing about the potential this tiny waterproof point and shoot has in the aquarium world back in January, the kind folks at Casio sent us a unit for review. After two months with this camera, I can confirm it has the ability to capture some unique underwater aquarium images while also proving to be a reliable everyday point and shoot..
The EX-G1 is a 12.1 megapixel camera that can withstand temperatures down to 13F, drops from 2.13m, and more importantly for aquarists–the EX-G1 is waterproof at up to 10ft for one hour. The camera features a 38-114 mm equivalent lens, with a minimum focal distance of 10cm (~4″). This allows macro-like images to be taken of corals and fish, however, we found the autofocus system had some speed issues [note: auto,manual, macro, pan and infinity focus modes are available]. The Exilim EX-G1 also offers a variety of camera modes called "Best Shot' functions which adjust exposure and white balance settings.
Like most point and shoots the EX-G1 is not a low light camera. This model does offer ISO ranges from 64-3200, but don't plan on going past 400 for fear of serious noise degradation. Additionally I found the video worked well in bright daylight conditions, but failed to impress under indoor lighting or aquarium lighting. I would love to see this camera pack in 1080p resolution video (something begining to be offered on newer P&S)–for now it offers 848×480 @ 30fps. For additional stats on the camera, see here.
The on/off button is slightly reset preventing any accidental changes. To the right is the 'Best Shot' button which takes you to the best shot menu screen.
It's not until opening the box that you realize how deceptively small and thin the Exilim EX-G1 is. Handling the camera took some getting use to, but carrying it around did not. At just 0.78″ thick it is easy to slip into your front pocket and run out the door.
In the above photo you can see the word 'open' with a small arrow pointing upward. With a simple twist the gear releases the sealed compartment that holds the flash memory and USB output.
The camera boasts a large 2.5″ LCD screen that looks great on the stats listing. Unfortunately the resolution could be improved. When used underwater it is difficult to tell if an image is truly in focus, even when in manual mode. For general landscape and portrait shots it served its purpose, although we opted to err on the side of taking more images just in case. Fortunately the camera comes with 35.7mb of flash memory built in and accepts microSD and microSD SDHC memory cards, allowing the Exilim to hold plenty of photos.
One of the best features I found with this camera is the lack of shutter lag. Once the button is clicked the photo is nearly immediately taken. Using a class 6 microSD card it took just over 2 seconds for the camera to write and be ready for the next shot. Not bad at all.
In the aquarium, the auto focus system can struggle locking in on what coral or animal you intend. Manual focus proved best for my needs. It takes some tinkering to get good shots under the blue halides, but I found the camera's auto white balance to be fairly accurate. The photo below was only adjusted for color using Aperture's auto color correction and then resized / watermarked in photoshop.
A close up of the photo above. Sharp, color accurate images like this can be difficult to capture in the aquarium. It took ~20 shots of the same coral before getting this one.
Outdoors the camera was much less finicky and the larger contrasting shapes played to the AF's advantage. Here are a few additional pictures from an overcast Chicago day. Color rendition is spot on and contrast is not bad. Wideangle images show some distortion (see building below) and considerably softer at the edges.
At $219 the Casio Exilim EX-G1 is a mid-priced point and shoot camera that can take its fair share of abuse while also capturing good quality images. Low light performance leaves something to be desired, but this is not uncommon for its camera class.
For the aquarists, the ability to take pictures underwater is a major bonus, but I would not base a purchase on this ability alone. It is a great everyday camera that you don't have to baby in bad weather conditions… and can also capture your favorite Acropora should the occasion arise. Currently Amazon has this camera for $219 with free shipping. If you're looking for a compact everyday camera the Exilim EX-G1 is not a bad choice.

No Kitchen Required (10 x 60′) – Three chefs are dropped into a remote location where each must work with the locals to hunt, forage and collect ingredients to create a locally-inspired meal that will be judged by the community.
The three fearless chefs are award-winning New York restaurateur Michael Psilakis, first ever Chopped Grand Championchef Madison Cowan, who has roots in London, Detroit and Jamaica, and New Zealand chef Kayne Raymond. The trio will leave the comforts of their kitchens and are dropped into ten different remote locations including Thailand, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Australia and New Zealand as well as the Louisiana Bayou, South Carolina's Outer Banks, Big Cypress, Florida and Hawaii. The series will be hosted by British presenter Shini Somara (BBC's One Show, BBC World News' The Health Show), who will join the chefs on the adventure.
In a new location every episode, each chef is free to choose whatever indigenous ingredients he wants – the catch is that each must acquire and prepare the ingredients in the same manner as the locals. Whether it's hunting wild boar or diving for oysters, this series is about getting your hands dirty, pushing boundaries and experiencing incredible situations the audience would never expect to encounter in a typical food show. The chefs' meals will ultimately be judged by the community and only one will be crowned the winner each episode.

Malaysian airline AirAsia on Thursday ordered a record 200 medium-haul Airbus A320neo passenger jets, a deal with a catalogue price of 18.2 billion dollars, both firms announced at the Paris air show.
"It's the largest ever in terms of number of aircraft," chairman Thomas Enders told reporters as he stood next to AirAsia head Tony Fernandes.
The A320neo is an upgraded and more fuel-efficient variant of the single-aisle workhorse A320, and it has emerged as the star of the Paris air show with hundreds of orders.
The medium-haul market is the most important of the industry and will likely account for nearly half of all commercial plane sales by value over the next 20 years, according to Airbus rival Boeing, which makes the rival 737 series.

As the late winter sunlight grows stronger each day, I look out beyond the terrace here at Copper Beech Institute and watch the koi happily dancing within our small pond. I remember the last time I stood here on a steamy summer day, peering down through the black water and following the long slimy stems downward until they disappeared into the murky depths. It's amazing that these magnificent blooms which begin in the mud can courageously stretch their way toward the surface until they finally drink in the full radiance of the sun.
The waterlily and the lotus flower, its Asian cousin, share this dual life in sunlight and mud. Both are necessary for blooming. For this reason, these plants have become a poignant symbol of the contemplative life.
Spiritual practice is about stretching the heart open to contain both the darkness of pain and the lightness of joy. I'm aware of my own inclination to hoard the light—to accumulate as much pleasant experience as possible. Of course, it's only natural to desire as much pleasure as possible in the form of laughter, happiness, fun, and positive experience. Yet, the waterlily reminds us that this is only half the story. Life is always a combination of pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral experiences, a mix of light, dark, and many shades of gray. Our mindfulness practice helps us to welcome the reality of all aspects of life so that we are not enslaved by the constant need to get our own way.
We practice not to minimize negative emotions and maximize positive emotions; rather, we practice so that no matter what happens, we can receive whatever arises with equanimity and grace. We practice so that whether we are experience the mud of life or life's sunshine, we remember that both are necessary for growth, both are necessary for blooming. When you realize that you can feel everything and anything—including unpleasant emotions and sensations, then you are free.
Only the soft heart can stretch open to contain both the beauty and brokenness of the world. The hardened heart is brittle; it fractures easily and its fragility needs to be carefully guarded. Yet for the soft heart, everything becomes a teacher. All of life is a classroom, an opportunity to grow in wisdom in awareness. The availability of this freedom brings us to practice over and over again.
In these days of growing light, the warming mud will incubate the awakening roots of the waterlilies here at Copper Beech Institute. In the coming months, we'll enjoy the blooms, not in spite of the darkness, but because of it. Soon, this courageous flower will reach up to greet our guests who come to Copper Beech to practice mindfulness and learn this central lesson of embracing the intermingling of light and dark as we seek together to remember that everything is our teacher.
Dr. Brandon Nappi is founder and executive director of Copper Beech Institute, the nation's newest retreat center for mindfulness and contemplative practice.

EU trade chief Karel De Gucht said on a visit to Brazil Tuesday he saw an EU-Mercosur trade pact happening in less than a year, despite France's "firm" opposition to a deal with the South American bloc.
"What we hope is that we could come to an agreement within a reasonable timespan, ideally before the next summer holidays," he said, referring to the European summer break starting in July 2011.
Speaking after a meeting with Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim and Trade Minister Miguel Jorge, De Gucht said both sides would lay out their positions by the end of the year for what he described as an "ambitious and comprehensive" deal.
But France is intent on scuppering the renewed push for an EU accord with the South American trade bloc, which began in May after being stalled for six years.
"Europe is not a dumping ground for South America's farm products," French Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire said Tuesday at an international trade show in western France.
"Farmers are not bargaining chips. We won't go any further in WTO negotiations. We won't go any further in negotiations with Mercosur," he said.
De Gucht acknowledged that agriculture was a "very sensitive" issue in Europe and that "certain countries" were critical of the resumed talks.
But he insisted that it was the European Union which was negotiating, suggesting that France's recalcitrance would be ignored.
The EU commissioner was to continue his South American tour with a visit to Argentina on Wednesday, and said he would drop in on other Mercosur members Uruguay and Paraguay before the end of the year.

Sharks Feed During Sunset Photography
The Shot That Started It
The Technical: I captured this photograph in Cozumel, Mexico while I was scouting sites for my very first exotic photography workshop location back in 2004. The idea was a photography workshop location that provided a tropical setting outside of the United States mainland and though we went back and conducted a great workshop there later that year, we never returned since and shifted our focus to the U.S. Virgin Islands. While Cozumel is an excellent location, the U.S. Virgin Islands became my choice as there are no currency or customs issues, not to mention the workshop coordinator in Mexico just created too many overcharges to keep track of in my budget, though I'd go back to Cozumel in a heartbeat to shoot again.
I don't suggest attempting such a photograph unless you are a professional and take great precautions—it's more dangerous than it looks. If you decide to try it, you must have a photography assistant holding the light at all times. This assistant needs to wear protective gloves due to the electrical hazard—water and electricity are notorious enemies. I highly recommend a battery-powered flash and stay inside the reef, as sharks feed at night and are attracted to electrical impulses.
For this image, the idea was to show the land in the background. The sun was setting fast, so we worked quickly. The key to shooting a photo with the sun setting is to control the saturation of color in the sky by changing your shutter speed up or down (dragging your shutter speed) without changing your aperture.
Camera: Olympus E-1
Lens: Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm zoom lens set at 50mm
Effective Focal Length: 100mm
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: F/6.3
White Balance: 6000K
The Story Behind The Image: In early 2004, I was asked by an individual to visit Cozumel for a possible photography workshop location, so I agreed and placed an advertisement in a photography forum for two assistants. I had many applicants, but ultimately the two assistants I chose, Luis Z. and Henry W., seemed the best qualified. Luis was a school teacher fluent in Spanish and showed great enthusiasm, as did Henry, a Fire Marshall, so off we went to Mexico for two solid days of scouting and shooting a few local models. Obviously we allowed two other days for travel.
We did a lot of scouting and a bit of shooting on the first day after arrival. On the second day we took a 45-minute boat ride to a remote island off the coast, more like an oversized sandbar with beach and brush. The small boat's engine smoked the whole ride, making me think, would we get stranded out in the open sea? Somehow we made it to the location though, Luis, Henry, the boat owner, two models, our host, a make-up artist and myself—no wonder the small boat smoked the entire way.
Once there, we fought off what appeared as gigantic horse flies and if one landed on you, they would bite and it was painful, so we did our best to avoid whatever those creatures were. It was also very hot, as any mid-summer day in June, so to say it was challenging, is an understatement, though we took equipment to compensate for the harshness of the bright open skies, like an 8- by 8-foot California Sunbounce scrim. We even took the special California Sunbounce sandbags—the kind you fill-up on location, that would secure the heavy-duty light stands that would support the scrim. Though soon after putting the scrim together and filling the sand bags, Luis and Henry realized, they had forgotten one thing—the stands.
Well my U.S. Army active-duty training kicked in, I took command of the situation and told Luis and Henry, "Guess what fellas, you're going to have to handhold that scrim above the model when I shoot." As I had one model pose the other model would hold the California Sunbounce Pro reflector to illuminate the subject, something a photographer's assistant would have normally done. Our guide was preoccupied taking some behind the scene shots while trying to figure out what we'd do for lunch and the make-up artist would constantly touch up the model's face from the sweat of the hot day. The boat operator was busy fiddling with the boat's engine and I prayed he knew what he was doing.
As the day went on I shot and shot, but I just never felt it. As a photographer you know when you've got it in the can, and you know when you're just spinning your wheels. I felt I was spinning my wheels. Perhaps it was my concern that we had forgotten the stands. Perhaps it was avoiding crazy biting flies. Perhaps it was the heat. Perhaps it was trying not to squint from the highly reflective white sand. Perhaps it was my concern that we'd depart late into the darkness on a boat that they'd impound in California due to it's pollution producing engine. Regardless, I just didn't feel it until it was time to leave.
As the sun began to set, I told everyone, "Let's get into the boat." Henry, Luis and everyone were looking at me like I was crazy and a few of them said, "Aren't you going to capture the sunset?" I said, "Yep, but I've got an idea." While I'm not a great swimmer, I knew the water was shallow enough for me to stand in, so I told everyone that I wanted something different. I didn't want the typical girl in a bikini on the beach with the sun setting in the background, instead, I wanted the land in the background with enough sky so the viewer would realize we were in the ocean away from land. So we loaded up, headed out, and spent a few minutes looking for the right spot—albeit, we did it fast, as the sun doesn't wait.
Henry held the California Sunbouce, Luis volunteered for the dangerous part, holding a light while standing in water—salt water. I will add, this is very dangerous, but we were careful and I do not recommend anyone doing this without taking strict safety precautions. As I began shooting, the boat began drifting, so I worked fast and realized I was too far away from the boat about the time I was giving up on my photos as I still wasn't feeling it, then it dawned on me, I wanted to take a set-up shot—how it was done and this is how this feature photo came to life.
Unfortunately my wide-angle lens was drifting inside the boat, it was getting dark and there was no time to mess around. So very carefully I walked away from everyone as the ocean was not white capping but it was moving and the guide yelled to watch out for drop-offs. I took careful but rapid steps and almost fell once, though I managed to gain my balance. I would stop, turn, look through my lens and then determine if I had the right framing as I wanted to use the lens wide but also somewhat magnified, as when you shoot with a longer focal length the background will enlarge and I wanted to compress the background. Eventually I gave up, but with the camera I had, the effective focal length was in the medium telephoto range of 100mm's. That worked, I shot a few images, then said to everyone, "Time to go, get in the boat."
As we putted our way back to Cozumel, I had fun chimping the LCD screen and showing off the results. I was proud of the image I had captured, at least the one, the one of everyone working with the sunset in the background. The others, oh, they were OK, but not necessarily my best and by far, this image is one of my all time favorites and the proof of it's power is the fact I've had it published quite a few times. Often I'm still asked about it and I enjoy telling the story of forgetting the stands for the California Sunbounce scrims, though I'm sure Henry and Luis tell the story in their own way on how I told them they'd be holding that scrim—let's just say, since then they've both have helped me out and they never forget the stands.
The funny thing about the entire trip, this is the one photo that made the trip, as I've received a lot of notoriety from it, even secured one photographic sponsor from it. Though I've received a lot of flack from it too, because of the danger involved in having someone hold an electronic flash of this caliber while standing in the ocean, not to mention a few divers have hit me with you're lucky a shark didn't attack you. I will say that Henry and Luis actually loved this part of the trip, as after holding that large scrim up high all day, standing in the cool ocean waters made them feel more relaxed. It's been over six years since this photo and Henry, Luis and I, still friends, often laugh and reminisce about this trip to Cozumel, though I've never back but look forward to it someday.

I love this sunset backdrop. I think you captured this one perfectly and the fact no one got electrocuted was a plus too. You are an amazing photographer because you do what you do and you do it well. I have shot some amazing sunsets myself but not to this complexity. Great job for sure.
Thanks for the nice comments. Sunsets are always interesting and my favorite scene to shoot when out on location shooting all day. Again, thanks for the nice words, rg.

Arequipa Travel Blog› entry 46 of 92 › view all entries
Arequipa is a lovely old colonial city which we used as a base for our trip to the Colca Canyon, spending a couple of nights here. It is known as the White City because of the stone used in many of the grand buildings which remain in the central areas. Many ornate buildings, especially churches, survive and confront you as you turn the corner.
One of the oddest buildings is the Santa Catalina Convent which covers acres and acres of land in the very centre, surrounded by walls which until recently had kept the nuns in and visitors (including their family) out, allowing them to live in total seclusion. Now most of the small cobbled streets and formed living quarters are open to the public, though a small number of nuns remain hidden away.
We also visited the museum in which Juanita is kept. She is a famous mummy of a 12 year old girl who was found about 10 years ago near the summit of the nearby volcano. It is thought that the Inca´s walked her up this tough climb, drugged her and left her to die as a sacrifice to the gods in order to ask for rain.
Arequipa also has a number of trendy bars which come alive at night, very much a small cafe culture, extremely chilled out. And when we ventured down to the main square on Friday night we encountered all manner of street theater, traditional dances and pavement painters. All in all a city well worth a visit!

Calgary Flames forward Rene Bourque enjoys playing against his provincial rivals from Edmonton, and it shows.
Bourque earned his second NHL hat trick as the Flames ended a three-game losing skid, defeating the Oilers 4-1 on Monday night.
The 28-year-old native of Lac La Biche, Alta., has 10 points in four games against the Oilers this season — all Calgary wins.
"It seems to be a good team for me to play against," Bourque said. "I had a lot of family and friends here for this game and it is always nice to be able to perform like that with them around to watch it."
Mark Giordano also scored for the Flames (21-12-5), who have won just four games in December.
"We were pretty bad at home our last game [a 5-1 loss to Vancouver on Sunday] and we knew we needed to win this game," said Flames assistant captain Jay Bouwmeester. "We allowed a lot of shots early, but we settled down and played a lot better after that.
"Miikka [Kiprusoff] has held us in there time and time again and he did it again tonight."
Ryan Potulny replied for the Oilers (15-20-4), who have now lost seven games in a row — their worst losing skid since a nine-game streak from Feb. 25 to March 15, 2007.
Oilers head coach Pat Quinn said it looked like his team was in full control through most of the early stages of the game but then they allowed the Flames back into it.
"We should have put some of those [16 first-period shots] in and then the sad thing is we give up a crappy goal at the end of the period," he said. "It was such a weak goal and it took the steam out of us a little bit.
"Until we have the mental strength to fight through something like that, that is what is going to happen. We're going to have to find a way to turn the corner and not give up the easy stuff."
Potulny said the Oilers are a work in progress.
"It's just not working for us right now," he said. "We're working hard and it's going to come I know it.
"You can see guys coming together for each other. They're fighting for each other and that's what we need to do at a time like this — come together as a team."
Oilers strike first
Edmonton opened the scoring 2:02 into the game. The puck came back to defenceman Jason Strudwick during a mad scramble in front of Kiprusoff, and his shot was tipped in by Potulny.
The ensuing face-off displayed a bit of the historic animosity between the provincial rivals as Andrew Cogliano dropped the gloves for his first ever NHL fight with Calgary's Dustin Boyd.
Calgary appeared to have scored on the power play with three minutes remaining in the opening frame, but a video review concluded that Curtis Glencross had batted the puck in with a high stick.
However, just two minutes later the Flames evened it up as Nigel Dawes hustled to a puck behind the Edmonton net and made a quick pass out front to Bourque, who chipped it past Oilers starter Jeff Deslauriers to make it 1-1.
Edmonton outshot the Flames 16-5 in the first period.
The Flames took the lead midway through the second on the power play as Olli Jokinen's shot hit the crossbar and landed in the crease, where it was swept in by Bourque for his second of the game and 12th of the season.
Bourque completed the natural hat trick five minutes into the third period as he directed in a rebound from a short-handed shot by Daymond Langkow to make it 3-1.
It was 4-1 less than two minutes later as Giordano beat Deslauriers glove-side with a quick wrist shot from the middle of the face-off circle.
The final five minutes featured three more fights, including Calgary captain Jarome Iginla squaring off with Ladislav Smid.
Both teams return to the ice on Wednesday with the Oilers hosting Toronto and Calgary starting a three-game homestand against Los Angeles.

Need help with planning 3 days of exploring the countryside of scotland in mid-May with my husband (we're both in our 50s) This is what I've got so far, but am afraid I'm trying not to pack in too much so may need help editing. After 4 days in Edinburgh,
Day 1: take bus to airport and pick up car, drive to Sterling castle, through the trossachs to glen coe, late lunch in glen coe, then drive up to Dornie, plan to arrive before dark, and spend the night.
Day 2: Eilean Donan Castle, then take A87 to A851 to Sleat and take ferry to Mallaig. Drive to Fort William/Ballachulish and spend the night there.
Day 3: Drive back to Edinburgh (haven't figured out the route yet), return car at airport and either fly to london or take bus back to city to take train to London.
Appreciate your help

Day 1 is just about impossible.
EDI > Stirling (note the spelling) > Glencoe > Dornie is about a 5.5 hour drive. Most people need about 2 or 3 hours at Stirling Castle, another hour at least at Glencoe plus other places you'll want to stop (for at least photo ops) means you have between 9 and 10 hours on the road.
Day 2 seems weird since you want to stay the night at Ballacullish (hopefully not in Ft William) - which is right next to Glencoe and you will have driven through it the day before. Plus you will have seen almost none of the glorious bits on Skye. This is really just a 'drive by'
I would NOT go all the way to Dornie and would go to Skye unless you spent 2 night ON the island. It takes most of a day to get there and most of a day to get back so one night on the Isle is pretty useless.
Think about this - do Stirling as a day trip from Edinburgh by train. Really easy.
Next morning take the train to Inverness (about 3.5 hours. You will be in Inverness before lunch time. Collect a car and drive to Skye vial Loch Ness, Eilean Donan and the Bridge. This is about a 3 hour drive plus stops. Stay 2 nights.
Then spend the next day drive back to EDI - this will be about 6 hours in the car plus your stop at Glencoe.

Thanks janisj!,
I like the idea of doing Stirling as a day trip! Would it take an entire day if we started out early (8am or so?).
I had not intended to go to Skye as I thought, with 3 days, we just wouldn't have time. Planned that route through Sleat primarily as it seemed a way to take a different route back rather than retracing our steps. Really would like to see some of the beautiful scenery and like the idea of being able to stop along the way;hence the rental car. But also am feeling like train travel might be more relaxed. Have been reading about the West Highland Line and the beautiful scenery. Am thinking maybe we will skip Dornie. What about a loop that would include endinburgh, glencoe, down the coast to glasgow. Is there a way to do some driving/some train? We have 2 nights/ 3 days. Where would you suggest we spend the nights?

>>Would it take an entire day if we started out early (8am or so?). <<
Nope -- Edinburgh to Stirling is under an hour by train city center to city center. MUCH faster than one can drive it when factoring in getting to the airport, collecting the car, driving, and parking in Stirling.
OK -- some tough love here. (there is another current series of threads where someone is trying to squeeze in everything - farther than you and a few more days than you -- but essentially the same issues)
There is GORGEOUS scenery in just about every single corner of Scotland. The travel is slow and trains don't go to the very best bits. Is the West Highland line wonderful - no question. But IF you want to take it out to Skye 1) you won't have a car to explore Skye, and 2) it will take most of a day to get there and most of a day to get back. It simply is not a practical option on such a short visit.
Now if you JUST wanted the train, Skye and nothing else -- yep -- take the train from Edinburgh to Mallaig, ferry to Skye, rely on buses (slow and inefficient) to see a bit of Skye then take the train back to Edinburgh two days later.
What would I do w/ just the short time you have? I'd either 1) plan a MUCH less aggressive itinerary -- like the Trossachs and Perthshire. OR Fife/St Andrews/Glamis/Dunnottar, OR the Borders/St Abbs Head/maybe a bit of Northumberland
. . . or 2) Take one of the three day trips w/ Rabbies. Like one of these https://www.rabbies.com/en/tour-scotland/2-4-day-tours-scotland-from-edinburgh
Rabbies is a great company that does small group tours in mini buses.

Oh -- meant to add -- you really don't have 'three days' on the road. It will take some time to get to the airport and arrange the car so say a couple of hours there, and then on your last day you will need to be back at the airport well ahead of time to drop the car and check in for your flight. So say you have a 5 or 5:30 PM flight to London -- you'd have to be back dealing w/ the car by about 3:00.
Report Abuse
I can't add much, and this may be a stupid question but can't you pick up a hire car in Edinburgh itself, why go back to the airport?
Report Abuse
>>why go back to the airport?<<
Actually -- that is the one thing I do agree w/ on the plan
The tram is so easy out to the airport and getting away from EDI to the west or north is a piece of cake. Whereas picking up a car and driving in central Edinburgh can be a bear.

I will chime in with my own suggestions, which vary a little from others.
I for one am not that knocked out by Stirling Castle, although of course I appreciate its historical significance. But with such a limited amount of time, one has to make choices between many worthy options, and seeing more of the Highland countryside would - for me - take precedence over Stirling.
I also appreciate the appeal of Skye, but Skye takes a long time to reach, and once you're there it's BIG and not all that easy to get around.
So with the OP's time limitations, I'd suggest staying farther south, with a loop through Glen Coe, down the coast to Oban, possibly adding a day trip to Mull, then back via Kilmartin, Inveraray and Loch Lomond, like this - https://goo.gl/maps/L1qn3eVNtyr
With an early start* on Day 1 (see below for some thoughts on this) you could even stop in Stirling on the way and still have time to drive up into scenic and wild Glen Etive (just before Glen Coe) to get a sense of being "off the beaten path" in the Highlands.
I'd spend the night in Oban, then make a command decision on Day 2 - either do a day trip to Mull (either with the car or using one of the several ferry/bus options) or spend the day exploring the area - Loch Awe, etc. In the afternoon, travel to Inveraray with a stop in (incredible and historic) Kilmartin, with its standing stones and other prehistoric monuments, carved gravestones and crosses in the churchyard.
On Day 3, visit Inveraray Castle, the grandiose home of the Campbells, used in Downton Abbey as Cousin Shrimpy's digs. Then past Loch Lomond on the way back to Edinburgh airport.
This is still a pretty busy route, but with less driving and (IMO) more variety than a comparable amount of road hours heading north, rather than south, from Glen Coe.
* Not knowing the OP's plans in Edinburgh proper (4 days is cited) I'd just throw out the idea of moving to a hotel near the airport the previous evening, and maybe even collecting the car that night, so that an early getaway could be planned the next morning. I've stayed a couple of times at the Dakota Hotel between the airport and South Queensferry and recommend it highly. From the Dakota you're on the M8, M9 or M90 in minutes; you could even have dinner in Queensferry (an historic destination in its own right) the previous evening.

My opinion re Stirling (in this specific situation) . . . Either do it as a day trip from Edinburgh or don't do it at all. It is very large, very interesting and very historic. But so is Edinburgh castle. I'm not one to say 'seen one castle seen them all' - I've probably visited more than 100 or 125 castles in Scotland/northern England - but this trip is so short and Stirling does require a substantial time investment.
I know some really like Inveraray -- it is certainly fine, but is far down my own list of must see castles. Just different strokes.
And re Kilmartin -- I have really enjoyed my times in the glen. For first timers my gut feeling is IF they are interested in neolithic sites. standing stones, cairns it is a fabulous area. But for some it doesn't have the drama of other scenic parts of the country. I'm torn - Not sure one way or the other - some will find it an absolute highlight while for others it will be semi-meh.
When there is so little time - hard decisions.
Report Abuse
Oh I agree, Kilmartin may or may not be everyone's cuppa, but it needn't be a big time investment; you can visit the churchyard and be done in half an hour.
I'm not crazy about Inveraray Castle either - it's scenic from the outside (in a weird Victorian/French Chateau look-alike way) and the interior features a helluva lot of sharp pointy stuff, and if you have MacDonald blood it will be boiling. But Inveraray is in a lovely location, and the village itself is picturesque (the result of unrestrained Ducal power a couple hundred years ago.)
A trip to Mull might also satisfy part of the scenery + castle craving with a stop at, or just the sight of Duart Castle from the ferry - http://i.imgur.com/9kd53CN.jpg
...Day 3: Drive back to Edinburgh (haven't figured out the route yet), return car at airport and either fly to London or take bus back to city to take train to London.
You could add a couple of hours to Day 3 by dropping the car at Glasgow airport; most UK car hire companies won't charge a drop fee, or a very small one if any.

Thank you so much for all your comments. Very helpful and I will definitely edit my trip plans.
Now I have a major mistake in planning I'm trying to deal with. We decided to take the Caledonian Sleeper from Fort William to London. I booked the tickets only to discover that I can't return the car in Fort William! Have been trying to contact Scotrail customer service (I emailed and they told me I needed to call) but am not getting through and I"m not sure I"m dialing correctly. The number they gave me is : 0344810141. I know the country code for UK from the US is 011. And I understand there is usually a 44 just after that? What is the correct way to call???

011 44 then 344810141 should work (you need to drop the leading zero in most UK phone numbers)

Pope encourages priests, catechists to use internet
Pope Benedict has urged priests, catechists and Catholic teachers to make as much use as possible of the internet. During an audience for participants in the plenary assembly of the Congregation for Catholic Education, on Monday, the Holy Father said: "The internet, with its capacity to overcome distances and put people in contact, also presents great possibilities for the Church and her mission. With the necessary discernment to ensure it is used intelligently and prudently, can be a useful tool, not only for the studies but also for the pastoral work of future priests in various ecclesial fields, such as evangelisation, missionary activity, catechesis, educational projects, and administration of institutions." The Pope was referring to a draft document on 'The internet and formation in seminaries' that the participants in the Plenary are studying.
He emphasised that education and formation "today represent one of the most urgent challenges the Church and her institutions are called to face" in that today's culture "all too often makes relativism its creed". For this reason, "its important work serving the various kinds of Catholic formative institute, inspiring the Christian vision of man and reality."
In his Address, the Holy Father cited "the seventieth anniversary of the Pontifical Society for Priestly Vocations", emphasising that "this anniversary can be an opportunity to understand and take advantage of the most important vocational initiatives being promoted in the local Churches."
Commenting on the fact that the participants have begun a revision of the Apostolic Constitution "Sapientia christiana" on ecclesiastical universities and faculties, the Pope highlighted the importance of making "the relationship between theology and the study of Sacred Scripture more robust, so that these truly become heart and soul. However, the theologian should not forget to speak to God. It is vital for theology to remain closely linked to individual and community prayer, especially liturgical prayer," stressing "the connection of theology with other disciplines, considering that it is taught in the Catholic Universities, and in many cases, also in public universities."
Speaking about "inter-cultural education", the Pope said that "in this area courageous and innovative faith is required, which combines a clear awareness of their identity and openness to otherness, for the purposes of living together in multicultural societies. And towards this end emerges "the educational role of the teaching of Catholic religion as an academic discipline in interdisciplinary dialogue with others. It contributes, indeed, not only to the integral development of the student, but also to an understanding of others, to comprehension and mutual respect."
