Twilight: Eclipse soundtrack stream
I have one idea.
Collaborate and mix this series with the Living Dead series. See how those faggy Vampires handle a horde of zombies.
I still laugh over the fact that My Chemical Romance were asked to write a song for the first movie, but it was just too gay for them. Of course, the first movie was typical Catherine Hardwicke bullshit in that it was just an anthology of pointless music videos so it's not like they were missing much.
Edward Cullen and I are like Emmure and a trashcan.
It (he) belongs inside it (me). ;)
In other news, this is going to suck in equal quantities to the movie and book.
They should have a battle scene with Static-X music
Like a REAL movie >=)
Woooo Battles, wtf. I dig it though.
Who needs to watch New Moon when this goes through it in a minute?
I've never watched this shit and I never will.
vid made me lol
At least I know what it's about now.
Wait a minute...
ok, so the movies suck, but I really like the soundtrack for this one. The Black Keys, The Dead Weather, Beck, and Vampire Weekend? Awesome.
Beck's song with Bats for Lashes is really great.
they should have put The Devil Wears Prada on the soundtrack.
The Dead Weather is too good for this.
how many of these books exist?
i dont know but they are all masterpieces
Soundtrack needs moar Cryptospsy.
In other news, the Muse song still sucks.
My ex was way into the original Twilight soundtrack, it was awesome.
Good thing I waited for this very moment before buying this.
Digging this soundtrack must say. Good stuff.
I can't believe Battles is on this.
"Bangin on a trash can, drumming on a street liiiiiiight."
I want to see Twilight vs Bruce Campbell, with a backing track of Open Face Surgery. I would pay to see that.
Death to Twilight!!!
I want to see Twilight vs Bruce Campbell, with a backing track of Open Face Surgery. I would pay to see that.
Movie trailer looks fucking epic. Cant wait to see if it lives up to the 2 minutes.
Digging: Vreid - I Krig
Battles is weird but I mean New Moon had Thom Yorke and Bon Iver.
Stephanie Meyer recently said she'd been listening to Ha Ha Tonka a lot, but I would be so pissed if they became nationally known through the twilight saga.
Digging: Brand New - Science Fiction
I used to think that Beck and Jeff Beck were the same person, idk why.
^Lol i think its pretty obvious why
Maybe i'll listen to the beck/bat for lashes song.
I was a little heart broken when Death Cab made a song for the last movie. =/
I think i'm the only girl left that hasn't seen the movies or read the books.
What the fuck? Battles in on this?
The Twilight Soundtrack was suprisingly awesome. This one... not so much.
I like the way the Battles song starts off like a chilled out indie rock track then gradually gets more dissonant until it changes into their typical fast math style.
Twilight soundtrack good? Hardly. I find Paramore, Linkin Park, and Collective Soul far from enjoyable. This soundtrack on the other hand is stacked with awesome artists.
Bruce Campbell for the win.
Didn't it also have Bon Iver, St. Vincent, Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear and Iron and Wine too?
Movie trailer looks fucking epic. Cant wait to see if it lives up to the 2 minutes.
but I would be so pissed if they became nationally known through the twilight saga.
wtf Battles is on this? Cool, but that seems like a really odd fit for any movie that isn't by David Lynch.
The Vampire Weekend song was.... unexpected.
Sounds like they didn't really put much effort into it, which is understandable.
Awesome, can't wait... oh god twilight is finally having it's effect on meee.
I heard they are replacing Edward with Samual L. Jackson.
batlles sold out and went mainstream i can't listen to them anymoooooooore
Kristen Stewart is sexy. Muse are sellouts. Bad cd.

A few tips for great Senior Portraits
Summer is coming to an end, or at least summer vacation is for most of the incoming class of 2014 and that can only mean one thing. It's time to have your senior portraits made! Awesome, right? Senior portraits have come a long way over the years, gone are the big hair and prom dress formal pictures your mom and dad had in the 80's. You know what I'm talking about, the studio picture with your mom's reflection in a mirror or maybe your dad leaning against a huge white 1991 prop on a plain white background that looks like it was taken at Sears. What was that about?
Today's seniors (You) don't want the same old cookie cutter yearbook style pictures everyone else has. You want something different, pictures that are original and reflect your personality and style. You want awesome senior pictures! With that in mind here are a few tips to make sure you have the best senior portraits possible, tips for great senior portraits if you will.
Do a little window shopping.
I think it's important that you look at a lot of images from a number of different photographers. Remember that choosing a photographer for your senior portraits isn't like shopping for a chainsaw where you can find the exact same chainsaw at different stores for different prices. Photography is an art form and photographers are artists and each one of us creates a much different product. Be sure to find a photographer with a style you really like and look at as many sample images as possible.
The photographer's website is a perfect place to start but don't forget to check out their blog, Facebook, Google Plus and Pintrest pages too as these are usually updated more often and can give you an idea of the images the he/she is making from session-to-session. Think of blogs and social media pages as a small underground club where your favorite band tries out their newest stuff where as a website is a greatest hits album.
Schedule a consultation.
After you've found a photographer with a strong portfolio of killer images that matches the style you'd like to have for your session you should ask for a consultation. Consultations are an important part of the portrait process and something I do with each of my senior clients. Consultations are important for a number of reasons as it gives you a chance to see actual large print samples and some of the other great products we offer in addition to giving you all the information you need regarding awesome shooting locations, clothing, pricing, referral programs and more.
Most importantly however the consultation allows us an opportunity to get to know each other a little bit prior to working together. I feel it's important to have a good repoire with your photographer, being around someone you get along with and feel comfortable with makes it much easier to be yourself during your session and this comfort will certainly show in your pictures. It's during the consultation that we'll discuss some of the things you're interested in, sports you may play or we'll even chat about your car so I can start to design a senior portrait session to fit you perfectly.
You may notice that many, if not most, photographers don't do consultations, especially for senior portrait as it's usually all about how many session can be shot in a day and consultations are viewed as a waste of time. I think this is a disservice to both you and them. If they don't offer a consultation don't be afraid to ask for one. If they still don't want to schedule a consultation even after asking for one it may be a indication that you haven't found the right photographer for you just yet.
Besides picking the photographer to create your senior portraits the clothes you bring to the session will be your most important decision. I think this is perhaps the most important part of any consultation and one area that I really focus on. You want to make sure your clothing captures you and who you are but also fits well with the look and feel of the location in which your pictures will be taken. For instance an off white flowing vintage style dress with boots is great for a session in tall dry grass but doesn't fit as well on the beach. Also pay close attention to the colors and patterns your outfits have as the eye is drawn to certain tones and textures, choosing the wrong tone or pattern and guess what the first thing people will notice in your pictures? It won't be you, it will be that bright pink shirt or white shoes. Remember to bring a nice selection of outfits in multiple styles. I suggest bringing 7-10 outfits of different styles, we may not use them all but at least we'll have a lot of different "looks" to try. I always encourage my clients to keep an open line of communication and to ask me about anything they're unsure of. If you're debating what may or may not look good give me a call, I'm always happy to help you look your best and I bet any other photographer is as well.
Accessories and Props
I love accessories of all sorts, belts, hats, jewelry, vintage headbands, whatever fits your style bring it along. Finding the right accessory for your outfits adds an extra layer of visual interest to your images and goes a long way to separate you from the pack.
The same is true with props or "me" stuff as I sometimes call it. "Me" stuff can be anything from sports gear, bikes, cars, motorcycles, letterman jackets, trophies and even pets. Anything that helps to tell the story about you at this unique point in your life is perfect "Me" stuff and helps to make your session uniquely you.
Have Fun!
Most importantly have fun and enjoy your senior portrait session, you never know this may be the start of a modeling career!

Cessalee Vance – Enoch High School Class of 2014 – Senior Pictures
The lovely Cessalee will be graduating from Enoch High in Modesto next year (class of 2014) and came by last week for her senior pictures. Cessalee's wonderful to work with, a lot of fun to hang around with and even photographs nicely too, the whole package.
We started the session in the studio before heading off for the outdoor images in one of my favorite foothill spots, I'm practically living out there right now. As you'll be able to see by the pictures below we had some killer clouds and took full advantage of them during the session. The big sky isn't something you see in many portraits but I love to utilize a dramatic sky whenever I have the opportunity. Really, how awesome would a few of those images look as large wall portraits? There's a statement piece if I've ever seen one. Enough with the talking, here's a few samples from the session.

Patrick Leiting – Modesto High Class of 2014 – Senior Portraits
Patrick came by the studio for his senior portraits last week, he'll be graduating from Modesto High in the Spring of 2014. We had a great time during the session and enjoyed hanging out with his parents and sister as well. Patrick is a great guy, a pleasure to work with and was great in front of the camera, very natural. In addition to being an all around cool guy Patrick also races BMX bikes in competitions all around the country, pretty cool I think. Of course when spending most of your time racing you've got to work your bike and some of the awards you've won into the sessions. Patrick has a pretty sweet bike and I'm hoping we can head out sometime so I can make some images of him doing a few tricks or maybe jumping over fire. I've got my fingers crossed.
Here's a few of the images from Patrick's Senior Portrait session.

It's Senior Portrait Season here in the Modesto area
It's that time of year again, school is almost back in session and for the class of 2014 that means Senior Portraits. If you have a graduating senior give me a call today to schedule your complimentary senior consultation.
I take great pride in creating senior portraits that reflects each seniors personality, allowing "the real" you/them to come through in the images. It's always wonderful when were watching the slideshow of the session and a parent points at the pictures proclaiming, "Wow, That's him/her,
Don't have a senior in the house but know someone who does? Great, you can earn a referral credit towards a future session or that extra print you didn't get from our last session.
If you've been to the studio before you know I focus on creating the best images possible, not shooting as many sessions as I possibly can. I only book one session a day so dates are extremely limited. If you'd like to make sure I'm available please give me a call right away, 209-541-1815 or email email@example.com.

Mr. and Mrs. {Almost} Session – Engagement Portraits with Christian and Christine
Meet Christian and Christine, one of my newer couples who will be getting married just after the new year. Both go to school out-of-state so this summer is a busy one as Christine is finishing up as much wedding planning as possible before she has to leave again for school. Christian is in the middle of a summer internship in Texas and headed to California for the July 4th holiday, a short family vacation and as it turns out their engagement portraits too. The engagement session is usually my first opportunity to work with my couples but in this instance it was also my first chance to meet Christian as well.
We headed out to one of my favorite "local" spots in the greater Modesto area as the location seemed to fit their wedding theme and Christine's vision perfectly. Both Christine and Christian were wonderful to work with and fun to hang out with during their engagement portraits. They have a very natural and comfortable way about about them in front of the camera, always a big plus. We had some great light and made good use of it. The images from the session turned out wonderfully and I'm looking forward to their wedding in January.
Here's a few more of Christian and Christine's engagement portraits.
Are you getting married soon and looking for someone to create the memories of your day? Engagement portraits are fun and more importantly allows you to work with your photographer before your big day. In addition, all those amazing images we create are ideal for Save the Dates, Invitations, Custom Signing Books, Display prints and more.

What to look for when choosing a professional photographer
When I was a kid having your family's portrait made or your senior pictures taken was a fairly straight forward endeavor. You'd pick up the phone book (remember those?) look up photographers and give a call to the 6 or 7 professional studios in your area. How times have changed, do an online search for photographers in your area now and be prepared for the seemingly endless number of results you get back. It seems like everyone with a camera or cell phone today is calling him or herself a photographer and diving into the portrait and wedding market as a side job. As a consumer these increased number of choices may seem ideal however with all the choices how to you go about choosing a professional photographer that's right for you? Well, it just so happens that I have a few thoughts on that exact subject. Here's a few things to consider when choosing a professional photographer.
Does the photographer's style match your own?
Photography's an art form and photographers, regardless of the subject, are artists. As with any form of art each individual artist has their specialty style within the medium, such as Picasso with cubism or Monet as an impressionist. The same is true with photographers. There are many different styles of photography within the portrait and wedding fields that you may be familiar with such as classically posed images (usually taken in a studio setting), non-posed photo-journalistic images, environmental portraits (taken outdoors), lifestyle portraits and a few others. It's important to choose a photographer that creates images in a style that you enjoy. So, if you'd really like a beautiful tradition indoor family portrait to hang in your formal living room it's probably better to work with a photographer that has an indoor studio and a strong portfolio of studio images.
Do they have a large portfolio of great images.
After you have an idea of the style of portrait you may want it's time to start looking at each photographer's portfolio with a more discerning eye. This is where the internet has made our lives so much easier. Today virtually everyone has a website, blog or at least a Facebook page and most photographers have all of the above and more, I know I do. Before contacting any photographer you should make a point to visit their website in order to get a feel for the quality of images they create. Look at as many images as possible and pay special attention to things such as the quality of light within the image, the poses used, the background within the images and the uniqueness of their pictures. You'll probably soon realize that a small group of photographers stand out from the pack and before you know it that endless list of photographers will be cut down to just a handful. Not sure what exactly to look for when viewing images? Here's a few tips.
- Lighting: Photography is all about light and a good photographer should understand how to use it well. A well lit portrait shouldn't look like you took it yourself (no offense) with your little on-camera flash. Harsh, straight on light and washed out skins tones that may have a blue/cyan tint to them are a sign that the person taking the images likes to use the flash right on their camera in complete auto mode, which is something you can do so why pay someone else? Another big no-no are deep, dark shadows where a person's eyes should be. This is a sign that the person with the camera doesn't understand fill lighting. I personally like to use warm, soft, directional light in my portraits as it give a beautiful warm glow and a sense of dimension to the images helping to create a portrait that allows the people within it to look their best.
- Posing: Posing is itself an art form, with countless books, articles, seminars and workshops devoted to posing individuals, couples, groups, babies, even pets. I think the best poses allow the person being photographed to look comfortable and natural in their surroundings. When viewing a photographer's portfolio ask yourself if the people within the images look natural for the given situation, do they look comfortable and loose or are they stiff with strange expressions on their faces? If so you can bet your pictures will look stiff and awkward too. Also, pay attention to hands and feet, are they cut off or are they positioned naturally. A cropped hand can make the person look like their an amputee and goes against most sound posing ideals.
- Backgrounds: I'm not necessarily talking about a studio background here however those can be something to think about as well, I'll get back to that. What I'm really referring to is what's in the background of outdoor portraits. Are there distracting elements like people walking in the background or does it look like branches or poles are sticking out of people's heads? Many of these things can be fixed at the time the image is made by simply waiting a few seconds for someone to walk through the scene or by moving a couple feet to the left or right in order to get a slightly different angle. At the very least they can be fixed back at the studio with a bit of image editing. If you notice these things in a photographer's sample images it may be a sign that they aren't paying much attention to the image as a whole and there's a pretty good chance you'll see similar distractions in your pictures.
- Regarding backgrounds in studio portraits remember that backgrounds should appear smooth and seamless. If it looks like the photographer used an old wrinkled bed sheet, they probably did.
- Uniqueness: This one's pretty self explanatory. Is the photographer's work fresh and unique or does it look like something you'd see hanging in your grandparent's house? Not to slight grandma but styles change and while some type of images do remain timeless even those "classic" images that stand the test of time can be updated to set themselves apart from the crowd a bit.
- This sense of uniqueness however can also go to the extreme as many photographers today try to be so "trendy" that their images will look extremely dated in just a few years. #hipsterfingermustache
Above all remember you should really like the images your seeing from other sessions as those are the type of images you'll be receiving from your session.
Personality Match
Once you've picked a photographer with a strong portfolio of images that match the style you'd like for your portrait session you should ask to meet for a consultation. Consultations are an important part of building a relationship between you and your photographer and are something I do with each new client to my studio. The consultation not only gives me an opportunity to discuss portrait styles, clothing, locations and investment with someone but it also gives us an opportunity to get to know each other a little bit. I feel having this opportunity to meet during the consultation goes a long way in building a friendly and successful relationship with each one of my clients, many of whom I consider friends and continue to work with for years. This is important because I think the best images are made when you feel comfortable with someone, enjoy being around them and feel a bit more free to be yourself. The fact is, through no fault of your own or the other person, you just don't "click" (pun intended) with everyone you meet and without a consultation there's no way to know how you get along with your photographer until you realize it (for better or worse) during the session. It's important to note that many, if not most, photographers don't do consultations for portrait sessions I think this is a disservice to both you and them. If they don't offer a consultation don't be afraid to ask for one.
I'm not going to dwell of this but it really is something to consider. You're investing your hard earned dollars to have beautiful professional portraits made, the least you should ask is that you're not paying to help someone "learn on the job". Just as in most professionals, more goes into being a professional photographer than most people realize, and having a "nice" camera has virtually nothing to do with how well your final images look. Knowledge of natural and artificial lighting, posing, shooting angles, exposure, aperture and much more are all major aspects of creating images you'll be happy with. When a photographer has a formal education and degree in photography you can be sure they understand all of the above which allows them to focus on creating the best images possible of you and your family while also giving them the knowledge to adapt to unexpected situations when they occur (which is pretty much all the time). Just something to consider.
It's important to realize that not all photographers are created equal, far from it in fact. Choosing someone to photograph your wedding or newborn baby isn't like shopping for a sweater where you find a brand and style you like at Macy's and then head over to Wal-Mart to see if you can find the exact same sweater for less. Photography is a creative process that requires both technical and aesthetic expertise. Your portraits are a custom product that a particular artist is creating specifically for you and your home and no two photographers are going to create that product the same. For the most part the old adage "You get what you pay for" is very true when it comes to photography. If you notice a photographer or photographers that are much less expensive than others it's probably for a reason.
I'd encourage you to not let price be the deciding factor when choosing a photographer as a beautifully crafted portrait that you love and will hang in your home for decades is worth much more in the long run than the poorly lit and badly printed portrait you received on a disk and had printed at Costco when it starts to fade in a few years. At my studio I want each person that comes in to have pictures, prints and albums that they'll absolutely love and cherish for the rest of their lives so I do everything I can to make them as affordable as possible. To that end myself and many professional studios offer ways to make having the images you want possible. Some of these include monthly or quarterly payment plans, wedding and portrait registries, gift cards, occasional sales and much more. I try to work with every client to make sure they can have the portrait or wedding images they want and if there's an options I don't offer I'm always open to new ideas, all you have to do is ask.
Choosing a professional photographer in a nutshell.
There you have it, some of the more important things I think you should be looking at when choosing a professional photographer that's right for you. Whether it's for your wedding photography, newborn or children portraits, high school senior pictures or family portraits choosing the right professional photographer will be a decision you'll be happy with for a very long time and following the tips above will make the decision a much simpler one.

A parent's guide to great newborn portraits.
Newborn portraits today are a lot different than those of the past. Today's parents want newborn portraits that stand out from the pack, the old one hour mall portraits just won't cut it. As a parent of the "greatest thing that's ever happened to the world" you want to show off your new bundle of joy to friends, family and anyone else that happens to be passing by and why not? Babies are special and your baby is extra special! Your baby's newborn images should be as fresh and unique and special as your family. There's a very small window of time (the first two weeks) that makes for the best newborn portraits (however 3-5 days old is even better). It's during this time that babies sleep the soundest making it possible to create the beautiful and unique images my clients are looking for. Here are a few things to keep in mind to make your newborn session the best it can be.
A well-fed baby is a happy baby
More often than not when a baby gets fussy during a session it's because they're hungry. Newborns are happy when their bellies are full so it's a good idea to come to your portrait session prepared. Before the session prepare a few bottles or bring a nursing cover so you can feed your little guy or girl before, during and after the session. And don't worry about how long it may take or how many times you may need to feed them during the session, any photographer that photographs a lot of children won't mind, in fact we expect it. Babies eat when they want to eat. In my studio I usually block out half a day for any newborn or child session so parents never feel rushed or like I'm watching the clock trying to finish as quickly as possible. So don't worry, there's plenty of time for everything weather it's feeding or handling a tantrum meltdown.
Keep them warm
Newborns like warm temperatures, especially during the first two weeks, which is when we generally photograph them. During that time they're still accustom to the warmth of the womb and temperatures adults generally consider pleasant newborns find to be downright frigid. Most photographers will keep their studios quite warm during a newborn session in order to keep your little one comfortable but that may not be enough, especially considering most newborn sessions require your little guy or girl to be nude. I always keep a number of baby blankets on hand to cover them with between images or as we're setting up a pose but you shouldn't assume every photography studio is the same. Remember to bring at least a couple blankets with you just in case the photographer doesn't have any on hand or if one or two get soiled.
Plan your day around your session
Children in general tend to do things on their own schedule and sometimes require a good deal of time to sooth whatever may be bothering them. In addition, all those cute poses you see on websites and blogs like mine take a lot of time and effort both during the session and in preparation before you get to the studio to make them happen. Posing or swaddling a newborn can take time and often a few attempts between which a feeding or cuddling may be needed and that's OK. As a professional photographer who photographs a lot of children I know what to expect and I try to rely that to my clients. When you schedule your portrait session it's often a good idea to plan your entire day around it, this is especially true if you have other children that will be at or taking part in the session. I recommend blocking out at least three hours for the session and adjusting your meal and nap schedule for that day so any two or three year old siblings also taking part will be happy and energized during the session.
Stay Clam (sessions with siblings)
Many of my families that come in for newborn sessions also have a 2, 3 or 4 year old son or daughter that I photographed a few years earlier. I love creating images that include older siblings but we all know how a two year old can be when they're not happy or have decided they're not going to do something. So, how do we keep big brothers and sisters cheerful? This is actually going to be the subject of another post but I'll give you a few helpful hints here. First, make the portrait session something they're looking forward to by talking about it in a positive manner in the days prior to the session. Tell them how much fun it's going to be to have their picture taken with their little brother or sister. Next, remember to bring them plenty of snacks so they can keep their energy and mood up. Also, there can be a bit of down time during a newborn session during feedings and image setups and to a three year old even a few minutes can seem like a lifetime, having their favorite toys, books or even some interactive games on hand will help to keep them occupied, entertained and engaged. Lastly remember to stay calm, even if they aren't. Tantrums happen and tears sometimes can't be stopped, they're kids it's OK. The key is to take it in stride and not let their acts of stubbornness affect the portrait session in a negative manner. Try to speak calmly and in a pleasant tone, reiterating the fun aspects of the session or how he/she can be a big help by doing this or that. Above all try not to become irritated as this can often cause more tears and additional stubbornness. These tricks usually do the trick for me but if all else fails I always keep my secret weapon close by, my dog Lulu, kids adore her.
Planning Makes Perfect
The old adage is true, planning really does make perfect, especially when it comes to fresh, modern newborn portraits. I encourage expecting parents to contact me as soon as possible for their complimentary consultation. I try to create unique images for each of my newborn clients and sometimes that means building props, painting backgrounds or hunting down the right accessory to complete an idea I have for an image. These things can take a bit of time so starting the process early gives me the opportunity to take the ideas we've exchanged during the consultation and create you a one-of-a-kind piece of art for your home.
Have a newborn on the way? Give us a call, 209.541.1815 or drop us an email to schedule your consultation. Want to see some of the cool newborn images we do, check this out!

Pretty Clever – Couture Signing Canvas – Canvas signing board
Pretty Clever is a portion of the blog where I'll show you a cool way to use or display your pictures that you may have never thought of. First up, Canvas Signing Boards. I was sitting around a while back thinking about those traditional signing boards a lot of couples have at their weddings, you know what I'm talking about, the 8×10 print surrounded by a huge white mat that guests sign or write little message on. It's a nice thought but boy is that a boring presentation and not something that really fits with the contemporary style of the studio. My clients (You) are cool, modern and trendy and I wanted to offer something with a bit more style that reflected their (your) good taste. Along came Couture Signing Canvases.
These chic and stylish canvas signing boards are gallery wrapped canvases custom designed specially for you and your event and allows friends and family to write special messages directly on the image. Afterwards it becomes a cherished piece of art for the home.
Above is the Couture Signing Canvas I made for a recent client, Whitney. She'll be having the guests at her baby shower sign it instead of a boring signing book. Afterwards it's going to be hung in the baby's nursery. Pretty Clever!

Mommy {To Be} Maternity Portrait Session with Whitney
Whitney will be welcoming a beautiful baby girl into the world very soon so we headed out for a few maternity portraits, or Mommy {To Be} images as I like to call them. Whitney makes a beautiful model which makes my job of making her look her best an easy one and allows me to focus more of my attention on creative stuff, like open fields and balloons. Her baby shower will be featuring a pink color theme so I wanted to work that into the images in some way as the pictures are going to be used during the party. We started the session with a few studio images, a bit of a warm up, before heading to the field of oats just outside my studio for a few images with some balloons. We finished the session at one of my favorite local spots.
If you're expecting (or know someone who is) and would like your own Mommy {To Be} maternity portrait session give me a call, 209.541.1815 or drop me an email and we can set one up. OK, enough talking, here's some of the images from the session.

Have been getting a few questions lately about the sb400. why do i use it ? why bother ? waste of time...etc etc the reasons NOT to use one are well documented. less power, less range, no remote capability etc etc
there has also been a heck of alot of poor, misleading and inaccurate commentry about this flash...especially to newbs who dont have alot of cash or just want a basic flash to bounce and improve indoor shots of kids and family gatherings. these are people that will likely never need or want the additional capabilities and flexibility of the bigger SB's. and they will much more appreciate its compact light weight.
these shots clearly indicate why i use it. its tiny and compact in comparison to the sb600/800. it has a great little pouch that contours around the flash so it takes up minimal space. it takes 2 AA's and seems to last forever. recharge times are excellent.
i take my cam pretty much everywhere. my walkaround kit is pretty basic and light, espcially if we're going for a walk to the park, (great fill flash), of just to someones house. i can have the 105VR or 85/1.8 or 50/1.8 mounted to the camera, the 35/2 and the sb400 in a simple dslr camera pouch. no bag. thats bloody impressive.
for indoor photography when all you want to do is bounce off the ceiling at relatively close range, (up to say 3m), then this is just as good if not better than its 2 larger cousins. why would i say "better" ?? well, it gives off a much less powerful light and seems to throw almost very little flash forwards, so especially when your subject is close there is no hotspots, almost ever shooting in TTL.
i've recently even started using it for macro work, granted it's not ideal for macro and not my strobe of choice if i have the time, inclination to shoot the subject properly, but thats not what this is about. my latest few macros have been shot with this flash. they were all taken on the street on my way to the park, no time or room to set up for macro. with this puppy i just whack it on and it gives me that extra flexibility and light if i need it to shoot when the opportunity arises.
at around $140AUD imo, this is as much a must have in a nikonians kit as the 50/1.8. Highly recommended.

text: I need some advice from you spray pros. I own a lawn mowing company. We mow about 250 accounts a week. My customers keep asking me to spray, so finally I just got my license. I will be spraying 2 large condo assoc. for sure. One is 275,000sf and the other is 435,000sf. I'm sure I'll get most of my other clients once I let them know I'm spraying. My question is what size(gallons), what make or model would be a good starter sprayer. Price isn't really a factor. I know that I'll pay it off. I'm tired of fighting Chemlawn over application rates they are applying and so are my customers. Please take a few minutes to help me. I'm in Montana so no need to worry about competition.

Gmail Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
As you know by now, over here at Sendwithus we're a team of Email nerds and like to keep on top of email news and happenings in the email world. Recently, Gmail made a few changes that affect the lives of email designers, developers and strategists – we want to be sure you're in the know.
Gmail will now support CSS media queries!
This means that coding for emails will be easier and your message will be formatted as originally intended, regardless of viewing on a desktop, portrait mode on a phone, or landscape mode on a tablet; the styles will be able to update based upon width, rotation, and resolution making sure your responsive design emails display great on every device.
Inlining, we are so over.
Previously, Gmail has not supported <style> code of any type in the <head> of an email, which forced email designers to use an inliner to compile their emails and make sure they look pretty. (Sidebar, Sendwithus already had a CSS inliner built into our editor and took care of the extra work for you at send time). What's even better is that without all of the extra code of inlining, it'll also reduce the code size of huge emails – this means less time required for coding and faster load times for subscribers. You can review the official Gmail CSS documentation here.
What's awesome about this is not only that improvements are being made, but that Gmail even made an announcement of the changes before making the updates. After years of at times, a strained relationship, it seems like a bit of an olive branch between inbox providers and email developers. This Gmail change in addition to the recently announced partnership with Litmus + Microsoft, will hopefully lead to a more cooperative world for all of us in the Email industry.
Updates will continue to happen over the next couple of weeks to all clients, follow along with our friends at Litmus to catch all of the updates via their ticker.

Original paper
Scutellinia (Pezizales) in Korea, with a new species and eight new records
Choi, Young-Joon; Shin, Hyeon-Dong; Han, Jae-Gu; Pfister, Donald H.
Nova Hedwigia Band 97 Heft 3-4 (2013), p. 457 - 476
published: Nov 1, 2013
Eleven species of the genus Scutellinia (Pyronemataceae, Pezizales) are recognized in Korea by analysis of macro- and micro-morphological characteristics, substrates and geographical distributions. Eight species are recorded new to Korea, namely, S. ahmadiopsis, S. badio-berbis, S. colensoi, S. jilinensis, S. nigrohirtula, S. olivascens, S. setosa and S. patagonica. Based on the exceptional length of marginal hairs and tuberculate ascospore wall ornamentation, two Korean specimens occurring on wood are described as a new species. Infraspecific morphological variations among collections within S. scutellata and S. patagonica were found. These are tentatively treated as species complexes. The highly questionable occurrence of S. setosa in Asia was confirmed. The importance of characteristics of paraphyses for species delimitation is highlighted. Descriptions and taxonomic notes of the recognized species of Scutellinia are provided with a taxonomic key, illustrations and photographs of these species from Korea.

BOTH of these teams had passports to next season's Premiership already in their possession, so it was all about fifth and sixth positions.
Visitors Newbridge started as if they were going to run away with it. With first advantage of a strong wind, they took a rolling maul fully 40 metres for Craig Fitzpatrick to score, Jason Williams converting.
At this stage, Bedwas were living off scraps of limited possession and it was to their credit that Nathan Hill was able to cut through for a score before the interval, Andrew James adding the conversion points.
A superb touch-line run from Stefan Sankala put Paul Williams in possession and the outside-half sped over for a second try, allowing Bedwas to cross over five points in front.
The home side showed how to harness the elements and Andrew James increased their lead with a 40-metre penalty.
Sankala provided a grand- stand finish to the match and to the Bridge Field season when he sprinted over for a try with the last movement of the match. His victory roll was fully justified. James's conversion was a formality.

It's now been twenty-one years since the unforeseen and abrupt passing of Janet, my wife and mother of our three children. Janet was mortally wounded in our home by our sixteen year old daughter who was arrested at the scene.
This 'dual loss' propelled me into a state of shock and confusion. While time in and of itself has had an ameliorative effect, I was only able to emerge through my sometimes confused but always diligent pursuit of clinical, medical, and spiritual interventions. In sharing my journey I will focus on strategies for moving from a shattering loss to recovery and beyond.
My story continues day by day. Five years ago our daughter, Maggie, was released from prison and began to reclaim her interrupted life. I am now in a position where I can freely and openly share from deep within.
I believe participants will benefit from my story and discover ways to assist them in their own recovery.

Rotten Apples: An Investigation of the Prevalence and Predictors of Teacher Cheating
We develop an algorithm for detecting teacher cheating that combines information on unexpected test score fluctuations and suspicious patterns of answers for students in a classroom. Using data from the Chicago public schools, we estimate that serious cases of teacher or administrator cheating on standardized tests occur in a minimum of 4–5 percent of elementary school classrooms annually. The observed frequency of cheating appears to respond strongly to relatively minor changes in incentives. Our results highlight the fact that high-powered incentive systems, especially those with bright line rules, may induce unexpected behavioral distortions such as cheating. Statistical analysis, however, may provide a means of detecting illicit acts, despite the best attempts of perpetrators to keep them clandestine.

* HSI +0.4 pct, H-shares +1.2 pct, CSI300 -0.5 pct
* Chart resistance caps H-share gains, volumes still robust
* China Life Insurance leads non-banking financials' gains
* Guangzhou property curbs hit Chinese property sector
By Clement Tan
HONG KONG, Nov 19 (Reuters) - China shares retreated from a month high early on Tuesday, limiting rises in Hong Kong markets, as benchmark indexes ran into chart resistance after recent strong gains from investors cheering Beijing's ambitious reform plans.
The Chinese property sector was hit by fresh measures to manage soaring prices in Guangzhou after data on Monday showed average home prices in the southern city surged 20.5 percent in October from a year earlier.
At midday, the Hang Seng Index rose 0.4 percent to 23,747.2, just shy of the year's intra-day high at 23,944.7 points. The China Enterprises of the top Chinese listings in Hong Kong climbed 1.2 percent, stymied by chart resistance at March highs around 11,562 points.
The CSI300, which had closed on Monday at its highest since Oct. 22, was down 0.5 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.1 percent. If losses hold, this would be their first in four sessions.
"We are seeing a consolidation of the strong rally in the financial sector in the last few days," said Zhang Qi, a Shanghai-based analyst with Haitong Securities.
"More gains are likely from here, but opinion is still very split whether this consititutes a re-rating of the China market," Zhang added.
The Hang Seng A-H Index bounced off a January 2011 low, suggesting H-shares are now trading at its biggest premium over A-share in nearly two years.
While A-share investors took profit on some of the outperforming brokerages, mid-sized banks and baby product counters, the price action in the H-share market was more mixed.
Citic Securities climbed another 2.2 percent in Hong Kong, while slipping 0.4 percent in Shanghai. China Minsheng Bank rose 1.3 percent in Hong Kong, while sinking 1.7 percent in Shanghai.
In Hong Kong, Goodbaby International fell nearly 1.5 percent from a one-month high, while Yashili International dipped 1.7 percent from a record high and Chinese dairy giant Inner Mongolia Yili Group dived 3.1 percent from a three-week high in Shanghai.
Property developers were also weaker. China Resources Land dipped 2.2 percent in Hong Kong, while Vanke sank 1.2 percent in Shenzhen.
But Chinese insurers were broadly stronger as investors continued to cheer planned financial deregulation in the mainland. China Life Insurance jumped 5.2 percent to its highest since February in Hong Kong and 1.2 percent in Shanghai.
The official Securities Times, citing comments from a prepared speech that China's top securities regulator will deliver at an event later on Tuesday, reported on its website proposed initial public offering reforms do not mean a relaxation of regulatory requirements, while the conditions are still "not mature" to revive plans for an international board.
Investors had rewarded Beijing on Monday for its ambitious reform plan, with onshore indexes posting its biggest daily gain in two months, while offshore Chinese shares in Hong Kong produced its largest percentage rise in nearly two year.
On the earnings front, GOME Electrical Appliance rose 1.4 percent after posting a 12.5 percent growth in third quarter sales from a year earlier. But Tingyi Holdings shares fell 2.2 percent as investors took profit after it delivered a better-than-expected quarterly net profit.
CLP Holdings rose 0.9 percent after agreeing to jointly purchase Exxon Mobil Corp's Hong Kong power business for $3.4 billion with state-owned China Southern Grid.

I hate trying out new hotkeys, mainly because there is no way to know what is taking up my existing hotkeys! I do use Marek's hotkey tool but that only tells me if a particular hotkey is in use; not what it is for.
Yeah, but I keep hoping that someone finds one!Jim
Did I even misunderstand the "project" feature in Listary?
(much more expensive, it's 30 dollars, and per computer)
A virtual note means that the contents of this note are not stored in the database file, but instead in an external file, the location of which is set in the "URL" field of the note properties.Working with virtual notes allows you to centralise your work with a number of files that may be scattered in different locations on your computer.
Hi All, Listary Pro is on BDJ today (15/3/13) for $9.95 instead of the normal $19.95.bitsdujourCheers, Nidusin
A project is a keyword that limits Listary's search to a single drive / folder or a collection of folders.Example: I like to search my music collection which is spread over 2 drives in 3 folders. I add an entry for each folder in the projects view and give them all the same keyword "mu" as an abbreviation of "music".Then I search "mu jackson" to see only files and folders from my music collection (the 3 folders defined earlier) that contain the word jackson.
(while hoping for somebody else having something better to "offer")
Where do you find the above info: use the same keyword to group entries?
the "find as you type" functionality seems to be better implemented in QuickJump
The "back to previous" functionality can be replicated by macros (storing variables)
(and Listary's example for "fuzzy search" is horrible, would bring thousands of false hits in real life)
For my a little bit amateurish comparison between Listary and QuickJump, I have positive news for Listary, though. In fact, I always made the difference between search for content, and just search for file and folder names, never mixed those up. But as incredible as it seems, QuickJump only searches for folder names, not file names, too.
(when I didn't think the necessary ">" sign in Listary for that was elegant, especially since it's three additional key pressings, shift-< and space).
Find as you type is a unique feature of Listary that is not available in any other application. It allows you to type the search term directly (without a hotkey) in your favorite file manager. Currently Windows Explorer, open/save file dialogs, XYplorer and xplorer2 are supported. Directory Opus will be supported next week (GPSoftware is kind enough to release a new version to support Listary).
i assume this is where the custom apps go, but how do i add one? i don't see the 'add' button.

PURPOSE: We examined the main and interactive effects of race, BMI, and social support on physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among male and female cancer survivors using the stress and coping theory to inform findings. METHODS: HRQoL issues among 1768 cancer survivors were examined using the American Cancer Society's cross-sectional Study of Cancer Survivors II. Two-step multiple linear regressions were conducted to assess the physical and mental HRQoL of male and female cancer survivors, respectively. RESULTS: The average age of participants was 67.36 (SD = 11.51); the majority were female (53.3 %; n = 941) and non-Hispanic White (85.9 %; n = 1517). The average BMI measurement for participants was 28.33 (SD = 5.90), with 41.3 % (n = 729) overweight and 30.3 % (n = 535) obese. Higher BMI was significantly associated with lower physical HRQoL across gender, while social support had significant main effects on physical and mental HRQoL across gender. Race moderated the relationship between social support and physical HRQoL among female cancer survivors and between BMI and mental HRQoL for both genders. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study contribute a unique gender- and racial-specific perspective to cancer survivorship research. While the buffering hypothesis of the stress and coping theory was not supported, the main effects of BMI and social support on HRQoL were different across gender and race.

The Port of Tacoma has named a former shipping line executive, Don Esterbrook, to lead the port's operations, commercial strategy and asset management functions.
Esterbrook, a former senior executive with Orient Overseas Container Line, was most recently OOCL regional sales director for nine western states.
His other OOCL roles have included president and general manager of operations in the Philippines, director of business development for the company's Cargo Smart organization and regional sales manager for the Pacific Northwest region.
"Don's strong commercial background, exceptional leadership credentials, overseas experience and relationships with customers locally and abroad will make him an outstanding addition to the Port's leadership team," said John Wolfe, the port's chief executive officer.
Esterbrook will hold the title of the port's chief commercial officer, a new position Wolfe created after he became the port's permanent chief executive last summer.
Esterbrook holds a bachelor's degree in business administration, with a computer science minor, from Pacific Lutheran University.
The Puyallup native lives in Lake Tapps with his wife and two children.

Geopolitical games
I am glad that our government is working to help the Canadian Christian couple detained in China, but can't help wondering if it would work as hard to help Mohamed Fahmy, the Canadian-Egyptian journalist detained in Cairo for doing his job, if he were also a Christian. He, too, appears to be the innocent victim of a geopolitical game (Cafés Caught In Political Spats – Aug. 8).
Brydon Gombay, Rivière-du-Loup, Que.
Unlike the shadowy grey hues of a John le Carré novel, Stephen Harper's world is resolutely black and white. Not surprisingly, so is his government's foreign policy.
A myriad of rights, obligations, interests and opportunities must be disentangled to form a coherent foreign policy. Ultimately, like any other portfolio, foreign policy must be pursued in the best interests of the country.
So where are we today? In Russia, we've poked the bear. Now they won't let in our pork (Food Exports Feel Brunt Of Russian Bans – Aug. 8). As for Kevin and Julia Garratt, the Canadian couple accused by China of espionage, they would be right to think that our PM is a bull in a china shop.
Howard M. Greenfield, Montreal
China is not a free society and as far as I know, still officially atheist. It is not a surprise that the Chinese government is acting in a strong-handed manner.
Wayne Nickoli, London, Ont.
Middle East deaths
Re Words In A War (letters, Aug. 8): Why are we Canadians so obsessed with the Israel/Gaza conflict, when more tumultuous events abound in the Mideast? For instance, more than 160,000 Syrians have been slaughtered over the past three years.
Andy Mulcahy, Victoria
Beyond 'losing face'
Re Why The First Nations Transparency Act Is An Insult To My People (online, Aug. 7): Nowhere in Eden Robinson's impassioned article, beyond the antiquated notion of "losing face," did she adequately explain why asking elected First Nations officials who receive public funding (i.e. my tax dollars) to disclose their salaries (like every other elected public servant in the country) is an insult, or unreasonable, or not in the public interest.
If I understand her argument correctly, it is more important for First Nations leaders to "save face" than for there to be accountability and transparency regarding their use of public funds. This might be fine, except that First Nations leaders receive funding from Canadians at large, and we as taxpayers expect those receiving our funds to disclose how they are used and to be held accountable, face be damned.
Sam Perlmutter, Wellington, N.Z.
See ye efter, aye ?
Some in Orkney and the Western Isles, perhaps partly in jest, are discussing having their own referendum, should that in Scotland succeed (Scottish Desires – letters, Aug. 5). As with the indigenous peoples of Quebec's north, they feel culturally and historically quite distinct, given their strong Norse ties and roots. Orkney was a Norwegian earldom from the 8th century until 1468, when it was pledged to Scotland as security for a dowry, which hasn't yet been redeemed.
Should Scotland become independent – whatever exactly that means in the European Union – Orkney may seek independence, or perhaps even to become an autonomous part of Norway. As with Quebec's north, Orkney has natural resources; much of the oil and gas is in its territorial waters.
Anders I. Ourom, Vancouver
As an expatriate Scot, I view with sadness the petty arguments in the Scottish referendum debate. It seems purely diversionary, to draw attention away from the creation of jobs and real prospects for improvement. What's a few thousand pounds of uncertain short-term gain here or there? Would independence set Scotland zipping along on a new course to prosperity? If so, why have these changes not been made already?
Scotland has a rich history, as does its close neighbour, and many experiences, including two world wars, in common.
Jack Marr, West Vancouver
Sun, wind, power
Re A Sunny Experiment Gone Wrong (Aug. 4): Providing electricity is a mammoth industry upon which society is intrinsically reliant. But it is challenged by vested interests and contradictory incentives that make it controversial. Admittedly, solar is an imperfect way to generate power, but conventional energy sources are profoundly imperfect.
Existing nuclear plants operate efficiently but disposing of them and replacing them are mind-boggling exercises. Gas may be better than coal, but that's like saying botulism is better than cholera; millions of tonnes of CO2 are still pumped into the atmosphere. Hydro is great but nature has circumscribed how much of it there is, and we have picked the low-hanging fruit.
While the technologies unpinning conventional power inch ahead, solar is immature and is benefiting from rapid technological, financial, regulatory, skill and process improvements, as it belatedly experiences substantial investment. A noteworthy portion of those advances is being nurtured in Ontario under the aegis of the feed-in-tariff program. It is better to be an active participant in the future than clinging tenaciously to the past.
Marc Clark, Markham, Ont.
In his 2013 report on Ontario's progress in taking action on climate change, Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller states that wind energy has helped Ontario make real progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector.
Wind energy is cheaper than new nuclear power, cost-competitive with new hydroelectric power and promises long-term price stability relative to the commodity and carbon-price risks facing natural-gas generation.
Wind energy costs continue to fall as new technology boosts output, and economies of scale reduce production and supply costs, all while creating new jobs in a growing green industry.
Robert Hornung, president, Canadian Wind Energy Association
Paid by the public
Re We Can't Turn Doctors Into Moral Eunuchs (Aug. 7): Doctors are paid out of the public purse. Whether a public servant agrees with public policy is beside the point. Imagine if firefighter got to pick which fires to put out or a police officer got to decide which laws to enforce based on personal beliefs. Doctors should either carry out the approved policy or get out of the public sector. At the very least, if they don't offer all available treatments, they don't deserve all available salary.
Jason Preston, Montreal
First things first
Re Toddler Intruder At White House Alarms Secret Service (Aug. 8): The first thing they really needed to know was whether or not the toddler was a Republican or a Democrat.

Thriller author Harlan Coben speaks romance readers' language: "What is more suspenseful — what is more gripping and compelling — than love?" Amen, brother. Harlan, whose new book, Six Years, is out today (March 19), joins us to talk happy endings, movie news and The Bachelor.
Joyce: Welcome to HEA, Harlan! Love has a happy ending in your latest, Six Years. That's kinda different for you. Why the change of heart?
Harlan: Oh, I wouldn't say it's a change of heart. Many of my so-called "thrillers" are really love stories. Tell No One was one, for example. So was The Innocent. When you think about it, what is more suspenseful — what is more gripping and compelling — than love?
Joyce: Can readers look forward to more happy endings (in the romantic sense) in future books?
Harlan: Maybe. I am a hopeless romantic. I usually like a happy ending … with a twist. I want to fool you once, then twice and then just when you think it's over, wham, I want to surprise and thus move you one more time.
Joyce:Works for me! Reviewers have compared Six Years to your best-selling book of all time, Tell No One, which was a critically acclaimed film in France. What is it about Six Years that's similar to Tell No One?
Harlan: They are both stories about a man who will go to the ends of the earth for the woman he loves. I want to play with your expectations in new and exciting ways and I think both books — and both leading men — will stir your heart.
Joyce: Do you have any movie news to share?
Harlan: I'm sworn to secrecy, but I have HUGE Six Years movie news. (Hint: Dreamy leading man.)
Joyce: Woo hoo again! Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Hugh Jackman will play Jake. I am SO there! (You're really good at keeping secrets.)
Your novels always feature a nice balance of grit vs. humor. Does that happen naturally or do you find yourself writing along and think, "Hmm, things have been awfully gritty for a while …"
Harlan: It is much more an organic process. If you try to jam in humor because it's "time," it will never work. The reaction will be more eye rolls than laughs. Humor also works in terms of character development. I always hear a sense of humor is the most important thing to a woman. Well, let's see how all of you like Jake in Six Years.
Joyce:I like Jake even more knowing he's going to be played by Hugh Jackman! What inspired you to start the YA series featuring Myron Bolitar's nephew?
Harlan: I created and thus met teenager Mickey Bolitar in Live Wire, an adult book, and decided he had more stories to tell. Really, the differences between the YA books and the adult ones are very small. It is a new world, which has been thrilling.
Joyce: Rumor has it you're a big watcher of The Bachelor. What's the appeal?
Harlan: Well, that rumor may be exaggerated. I started watching because I loved reading my friend Jennifer Weiner's hilarious tweets on the show. I find the appeal similar to passing a car accident — you cringe but you watch. Frankly, the show is also about as romantic and erotic as having your kidney removed with a grapefruit spoon.
Joyce: LOL. Well said. If you had to describe your writing as a type of music, what would it be? Hard rock? Eighties? Sinatra? Something else?
Harlan: Oh, I don't know. I like to think it's all over the place. Sometimes I'm rocking with Springsteen. Sometimes I'm mellowing out back with something heartbreaking. Sometimes I'm nostalgic with Tears For Fears or Glam Rock. I'm rarely cool enough to be Sinatra.
Joyce: Read any good books lately?
Harlan: Jonathan Tropper's This Is Where I Leave You and Alison Gaylin's romantic suspense thriller Into the Dark.
Joyce: Please tell us more about Six Years.
Harlan: Here's the first line: "I sat in the back pew and watched the only woman I would ever love marry another man." So it opens with Jake completely heartbroken. Jake promises Natalie he won't bother her, that he will move on with his life. Then, six years later, he sees an obituary for Natalie's husband. He goes to the funeral but when the widow stands up and turns around … it's not Natalie! No one knows where she is. No one has seen her for the past six years.
Joyce: What can readers expect to see from you next?
Harlan: I'm not sure. I'm working on another Mickey Bolitar young adult book as well as a TV series based on Myron Bolitar. We will see.
Joyce: Thanks so much for chatting with me, Harlan! Here's to happy endings for everyone.
