Wildlife photography showcase planned
Local wildlife will be the centre of attraction on Sunday, at a photo exhibit at the Estero Llano Grande State Park located in Weslaco. Photographer Steve Sinclair would showcase dozens and dozens of prints exhibiting the amazing diversity of wild animals of South Texas birds, mammals, insects and reptiles, along with a few vistas.
The showcase lasts from 10 am to 4 pm and it is free for public, though regular fees are required to visit the rest of the park. Refreshments will be available. Along with this, original prints would be there on sale with money raised handed to the United States Fish & Wildlife Service to buy trail cameras to find new ocelots.
In the United States, there are less than 80 ocelots; all can be seen in some isolated pockets in South Texas. Ocelots are on United States Endangered Species list as well as among the rarest mammals seen in this nation. Read the rest of this entry »

Jaco Marx speaks about his passion – wildlife photography
Jaco Marx is a popular surgeon, but in his spare time, he gets involved into photography to bring awareness for wildlife conservation. While speaking to a leading website, he told that since childhood, he was horrified by canned lion hunting, poaching and whaling.
He said to himself – what difference he could make in a place where people slaughter for some money, where rhinos are senselessly killed for their horns and elephants are killed for ivory. Later he thought that he could matter for that one rhino or elephant. Then he started to take photography seriously.
Jaco now strains to influence the way people think regarding wildlife. He sees photography as a great tool for conservation. Photography competitions could be a real great deal, but that is not his target with photography. To see one of her prints on a stranger's wall means one more person caring for the wild beasts.
Mr Marx is now based in South Africa. He gets inspiration from the continent's wilderness – the very same place on which where he was born. He tells that photography gets you to several places — unspoiled deserts, wilderness, swamps and in between huge herds of animals to get the adrenaline running. Sounds of eagles in the distance, African fish, hippos sounding in riverbed, roars of lions across the bend, hyenas laughing — they are the things that they could get the opportunity to appreciate as wildlife photographers.

Freshman from Peninsula High has great eye for photography
Before the school summer break, recently Cynthia Feek retired Harbor Ridge Middle School photo/art/exploratory/clay/glass instructor accounted how Pierce County Library Teen Art Contest is a yearly event open to all the teens of Pierce County. It includes categories such as photography, drawing, short stories and poetry in brackets of 7th and 8th grade, 9th and 10th as well as 11th 12th grades.
Teacher Feek declared that her student, Maddie Anderson, then an 8th grader, won 1st place in Photography category for the year 2014. Feek told that Maddie's passion is portrait photography. Earlier in the year, she was elected as the Artist of the Month for October at the Harbor Ridge for her magnificent portrait snaps.
Maddie, as an HRMS 7th grader, took Beginning Photography, instructed by Feek, and her interest was triggered. As an 8th grader, she took Advanced Photo, where she sharpened her photography skills and also found out her love for portrait photography. A whole lot of her snaps for the class were clicked at her house using her sister and a friend as models. The snaps were clicked in black and white with blunt backgrounds, utilizing a Canon Rebel T3i, digital SLR camera.
Back in May, at the Lagerquist Hall on Pacific Lutheran University campus, thirty six students from all across Pierce County were honored with either a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in drawing, poetry, short story writing and photography. These participants rose to the top of over one thousand entries as well as their work was chosen by a jury of pros.

"They blame the low income women for ruining the country because they are staying home with their children and not going out to work. They blame the middle income women for ruining the country because they go out to work and do not stay home to take care of their children.
– Ann Richards
TV Picks: HBO brings it with one of our favorites from the halls of American political history, Ann Richards of the great Lone Star state.
All About Ann: Governor Richards of the Lone Star State debuts April 28
*Film To Screen At The 2014 Tribeca Film Festival
In a state where even the road signs are macho, an unlikely political outsider emerged to take on the power structure. The leader who had the nerve to call the George Bush out came of age during the high tide of modern conservatism, changing Texas and the country and she did it in heels and with a big smile.
Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth. [1988 keynote address, Democratic National Convention] – Ann Richards
Feisty, fiery, tough, unafraid, a force of nature…and funny as hell. These are a few of the terms that were used to describe Ann Richards, one of the most charismatic American political figures of the last 30 years. Debuting MONDAY, APRIL 28 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), the compelling portrait All About Ann: Governor Richards of the Lone Star State tells her remarkable story, from the young girl who grew up poor in rural Texas to the beloved national icon and Democratic leader who rose to power in a conservative stronghold.
More great quotes from Ann Richards
The documentary features interviews with close friends, family members and admirers, including former husband David Richards, daughter Cecile and son Dan, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Michael Dukakis and Liz Smith, as well as Claire Korioth, her campaign consultant, Mary Beth Rogers, her chief of staff, Suzanne Coleman, a longtime speechwriter, Ronald Kirk, former mayor of Dallas, and Henry Cisneros, former mayor of San Antonio.
From HBO
Born in 1933 in Lakeview, Texas, Ann Richards was told by her parents, particularly her father, that she could be anything she wanted to be. As an adult, this schoolteacher and suburban mother of four found her interest in politics growing after a move from ultraconservative Dallas to the more liberal Austin. Her husband David, a lawyer, encouraged her to run for office, though she warned him it might ruin their marriage, and the couple did eventually divorce.
Around this time, Richards recognized she had a problem with alcohol. With the support of her family, she went to rehab, and later recalled her stint at Hazelden as a learning experience, noting, "I realized that failure is a great teacher."
Richards launched her political career in the late 1970s, and by 1983 had become Texas' first female state treasurer, revamping an antiquated system and demonstrating unique leadership skills. In 1988, she gained national attention for her rousing keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention. Sparing no Republican, including President George Bush, she famously exclaimed, "Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth!"
Richards' sense of humor and sharp timing compelled people to pay attention. President Clinton observes, "You always gotta be careful…You don't wanna be too cutting…But it's incredibly disarming and it makes it hard for people not to listen to you."
Richards overcame daunting odds to win the bitter 1990 race for Texas governor. In the three-way Democratic primary, her foes came after her hard – even feeding press rumors about cocaine use – but she knew that if you "play with the big boys, you gotta take it like they did." She was open about her treatment for alcoholism, saying of one of her opponents, "I wish there were a treatment program for meanness."
After winning the primary, Richards faced Republican Clayton Williams, a "good ol' boy" who was initially way ahead in the polls. But she capitalized on his mistakes and lack of knowledge about key issues and ultimately defeated him. During the campaign Williams committed a series of on-camera gaffes that enabled her to secure the votes of many Republican women, such as saying, "Rape's like the weather. If it's inevitable, lay back and enjoy it," and refusing to shake Richards' hand in a stunt he staged.
As governor, she worked to overhaul the drug and alcohol treatment program in the prison system while striving to appoint women and minorities to key roles in state government. When Richards launched her reelection campaign in 1994, her opponent was George W. Bush, whose campaign strategist was the young and eager Karl Rove.
Though violent crime rates declined under Richards' watch, Rove ran ads raising questions about her ability to control crime and violence. A year before, she had seemed unbeatable, with a 60% approval rating. But Bush's unlimited funds and Rove's whisper campaigns were too much to overcome, and Richards lost the election.
Ever upbeat, Richards insisted she was ready to get on with her life. She worked for a Washington law firm, stumped for candidates, as long as they were 100% pro-choice, became a favorite talk-show guest and continued to speak about issues close to her heart. According to her friend, columnist Liz Smith, Richards admitted to "constant heartburn," adding, "She was really suffering from it." That battle would be Richards' last. She died of esophageal cancer in 2006 at age 73.

De Villiers looks to forward force
ESPNscrum Staff
September 9, 2011
Matfield will win his 108th cap against Wales © Getty Images
South Africa coach Peter de Villiers has put an emphasis on forward power for Sunday's World Cup clash against Wales.
Although lock Bakkies Botha has lost his battle to be fit for the game due to an Achilles problem, De Villiers' selection makes no secret of how South Africa might attack their opening Pool D opponents. While Danie Rossouw replaces Botha and partners Victor Matfield in the second-row, De Villiers' intentions are clear through a bench combination that features five forwards, including an entire front-row.
The substitutes include flanker Willem Alberts, who played a starring role in successfully turning around a 20-9 deficit for South Africa at the Millennium Stadium last November.
"The first game, there are a few things we want to try out. I believe we've got a really strong bench," said De Villiers. "You like to play to your strengths, and that's the reason we went for that (five forwards). We know what we want to achieve out of this game, and the make-up of the bench actually goes for that."
Matfield, who has won a Springboks record 107 caps, features in the starting line-up despite suffering from a hamstring niggle earlier this week. De Villiers has named the most experienced Springboks team in history, boasting a combined total of 815 caps. It surpasses the previous highest total of 810 against Australia in Durban last month.
There are five changes from South Africa's last game, an 18-5 Tri-Nations victory over New Zealand three weeks ago, with Rossouw, fullback Frans Steyn, prop Tendai Mtawarira, skipper John Smit and flanker Schalk Burger all recalled.
There are 11 players in the starting XV who were part of South Africa's victorious 2007 World Cup squad, including wing Bryan Habana, who needs one try to break Joost van der Westhuizen's Springboks Test record of 38 touchdowns.
South Africa have won 23 of their previous 25 games against Wales, although Sunday's encounter is their first World Cup meeting. For skipper Smit, it a case of thirsting for South Africa's World Cup kick-off as they bid to become the first team in history to successfully defend the title.
"It has taken ages to get to this, and it's also pretty weird playing on a Sunday," he said. "Today's (team) announcement for us on a Friday is really a Thursday in a Test week, so in a couple more days we will get to feel the fever a little bit.
"We will watch the opening match and a couple of games this weekend, and by the time it gets to Sunday the boys will pretty well know what their purpose is."

In a sentinel cohort, hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients (primarily genotype [GT] 1a) were treated with daclatasvir (NS5A inhibitor) and asunaprevir (NS3 protease inhibitor). Preexistence, emergence, and persistence of resistance variants in patients who failed this treatment are described. HCV-infected null responders received daclatasvir (60 mg once daily) and asunaprevir (600 mg twice daily) alone (Group A, 11 patients) or with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin (Group B, 10 patients) for 24 weeks. Resistance testing was performed on baseline samples and samples with HCV RNA ≥1,000 IU/mL at Week 1 through posttreatment Week 48. Resistance substitution susceptibility to inhibition by asunaprevir and daclatasvir was assessed using HCV replicon assays. In Group A, six GT1a patients experiencing viral breakthrough and one GT1a patient who relapsed had detectable NS5A (Q30E/R, L31V/M, Y93C/N) and NS3 (R155K, D168A/E/V/Y) resistance-associated variants at failure. Two of six viral breakthrough patients achieved SVR48 after treatment intensification with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin. For 2/4 viral breakthrough patients not responding to treatment intensification, NS3 resistance variants changed (D168Y to D168T; R155K to V36M-R155K). At posttreatment Week 48, daclatasvir-resistant variants persisted while asunaprevir-resistant variants were generally replaced by wild-type sequences. The NS3 sequence remained unchanged in the one patient with NS3-R155K at baseline, relapse, and posttreatment Week 48. In Group B, no viral breakthrough was observed. Conclusion: The treatment failure of daclatasvir and asunaprevir in HCV GT1a patients was associated with both NS5A and NS3 resistance variants in prior null responders. NS5A resistance variants persisted while NS3 resistance variants generally decayed, suggesting a higher relative fitness of NS5A variants. (Hepatology 2013;53:902–911)

*Warning, Graphic Images* Joe Riggs Shows Off His Nasty Gunshot Wound
Old school UFC veteran Joe Riggs was all set to make his comeback to the big leagues, after winning the inaugural season of Bellator Fight Master, and getting booked in to face Paulo Thiago at UFC Fight Night 51. Just five days after the fight was made, 'Diesel' was involved in an accident when cleaning his gun, and was forced off the card.
His return to the UFC, where he first fought way back in 2004, is now on hold. Now facing an unfortunate few weeks of wound cleaning a recuperation, Riggs appeared in the above video to show off his gnarly wounds after the accident. I have to warn you that the images you will see by pushing play are rather grotesque.
TMZ posted the video, and it would appear that 'Diesel' is lucky to still have his life following the incident. Joe says he will be back, so check out the details of the nasty gushot wound he suffered, if you have the cajones.

Hi! For you to get to know us better, to find out who are the folks behind 500px and what it is that we actually do, we started a new ongoing feature on the blog titled "Meet the team". Last time we shared our favorite tunes of 2012 & introduced Diana. Now you are about to meet one of the team members — Alex Flint.
Thanks for reading :) If you'd like to add Alex to friends visit his 500px page, to follow Alex's running achievements and photos of his cute dog Cora follow @alexfca and for twitter @alexflint.
If there is a question you'd like to ask our team or an idea for "Meet the team" feature please leave a comment below. We'd love to hear your feedback and answer your questions.
Hey everyone. RC Concepcion here. I am a Photography and Photoshop instructor over at Kelby Training and a fellow 500px user. You can check out my 500px work here.
In this guest post I'd like to share a different kind of tutorial with you — instead teaching you technical skills, I will reveal the importance of listening to your inner voice. As a photographer this inner voice can save you from trouble, push you to take the best photo, aid you in letting go & discarding a bad one and in general it's a great voice to listen to. Here's my story of how the inner voice came through for me on my urbex journey in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
One of the things that I love about photography is the amount of stories that can go into the picture. Obviously, the picture itself has the 1000 words, but I'm talking about all of the stories that give the picture a personal level of meaning. Stories that largely go unnoticed until you sit with others and reminisce about the specifics. While I feel like I am lucky enough to be able to serve as a witness to the world in pictures (the charge of the photographer), I also create to give me these little signposts to my own life. Lessons I feel like I can pass forward at some point to my child. This lesson for me was simple — listen to the voice inside you and push. Very carefully.
I was sitting in Milwaukee, WI getting ready for a talk that I needed to do the following day at the Convention Center. I've been on a hunt for a set of pictures that fit an urbex feel for a revision that I am doing for my book on HDR. Driving in and looking at the area from the highway I just didn't think that Milwaukee would be something that would be able to give me what I wanted. Feeling uninspired, comfort sat in. There I was, in shorts at the hotel, looking over the menu for what to have for dinner. The last thing that I wanted to do was get my camera and go shoot.
While we love to make pictures, there are times that you just get cold. It happens to everyone. Every photographer out there hits this crossroads, and wonders "I'll go out there and what if I come back with nothing... I can just sit here."
At these moments, there are two things that I remind myself. First, I am guaranteed to get 0 shots if I stay home. Getting out there increases that chance. The chance is why we do what we do. It is that moment where everything aligns and we are given the gift to make a shot. We train hard at our craft to be able to perform our best at that very moment, but we must be available to that moment in order for it to happen. Legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky famously said "You'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take" and it could not apply more here.
Second, it would shock many people to realize just how much goes into the taking of some of the best pictures. Many people on 500px hike incredible distances. Are awake ungodly early. Some don't sleep at all. Some pictures are months in planning with many moving parts. And often, all of this dedication results in a picture that just doesn't stand up. It's been a hard lesson for me to learn that I can put so much into a picture and it can suck. And that is ok. Putting in that energy is part of the process of being a photographer.
This pushes me, motivates me, and mocks me. I grab my camera and sit with two browsers open. One has 500px up. The other Google Maps. I start looking through inspirational images where people have shown up to Milwaukee and represented, putting their fingerprint on photography. I decide I'll aim simply. There was a big church that I passed on the way in — the Basilica of St. Josaphat. I will get there and conquer my apathy by making a shot.
How ticked off was I when I got there and it JUST CLOSED!!
Dejected, I throw myself into the car. This confirms that I shouldn't have attempted to make a shot. While I was upset, I wasn't going to make the night a complete waste. Pulling up Google Maps again, I opt to go along the water, trying to find locations that I can make a shot from. In a short amount of time, I run into an area in Milwaukee known for Urbex — the Solvay Coke and Gas factory. Now, there is a standing order to arrest anyone at that facility, but I didn't care. Beaming, I ran into the facility to make some pictures, ever grateful that my dedication (that I normally would've caved on) paid off by getting me a location where I can try to make a shot. Sitting in the hotel, I would've never pushed through to find this and now I'm sitting in near darkness, trying for a picture. I could not have been happier.
As I am finishing up a shot, I get this feeling. "You have taken more than your share here. " - I say to myself. Not wanting to be particularly greedy I decide to pack it in and head back to the car. There were a couple of other kids with some P&S cameras making shots. They giggled past me as they came in, perhaps finding it funny that a grown man was spread eagle face down in a burnt down factory. (Hey… you ain't shooting if you're not getting dirty.)
I pack it up and head to the car. Driving a block down the road, I cannot help but look at some of the iPhone shots I took while there. I quickly get one ready to post on my Google+ and write a short story on it.
As I am writing the post, I feel a car very slowly passing me. I look up to see not one but two squad cars on the opposite lane, wondering what I was doing. I smile, wave, and go back to writing my post. The cars slowly make their way down to the facility.
In photography, that same voice that tells you to push harder can also serve as a guide to tell you to pull away. I've learned (the hard way unfortunately), that the voice is never wrong.
Thanks for reading. You can read more about me at aboutrc.com, follow me on Twitter or visit my 500px page. For more tutorials visit previous blog posts on Long exposure photography by Matt Kloskowski or Great Gatsby portraits by Alex Huff.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 927 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Karen Not Impressed A particular staff member at reception was extremely rude and very unhelpful. It was a very upsetting experience and my very simple request could not be sorted out satisfactorily. January 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by NickM Not the best :( Spent Nearly $2000 For 3 nights, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Expecting alot from my money and all i got that was worth it was the View from my hotel room balcony. The view was amazing but the hotel room was very out dated. I would have been better and more happier staying a $50 a night back packers. I had lamps that didn't work and a piece of glass in my carpet that wasn't cleaned from the last guests( room 2058). There was no service at all any place in the hotel for me. No staff checking up on me to see if i was happy Or needed anything !!!!The only time i got service was when i hired a cabana on Sunday and the waitress dropped a tray of drinks on me. Defiantly not happy with my 3 days... When i checked out the lady at the counter didn't ask how my stay was. she just walked away ! The only person that was decent and helpful for me was the lady that helped me find my shuttle bus back to the air port. Very pore effort! i don't think ill ever return or stay in another Sheraton hotel ever again :( I'am a chef in a big hotel in Australia and ill never recomened This hotel to my staff or friends Sorry Nick M May 22, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by kirakira Hotel amenities intensely disagree with resort fee. Also hotel has eliminated HD and the Golf Channel from the lineup which I find remarkable, especially in view of the $30+ per day resort fee. January 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Carol79 The view was worth the price! The view from the lanai on Diamond Head side was fabulous! Cleansed all the troubles and frustrations as I sat there on the deck chair and drank a bottle of Hawaiian beer! April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mauigirl Awesome view! I only stayed one night in this beautiful hotel and everything was perfect. The staff at the front desk was very nice and professional and gave me all the information I needed. May 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Khal1113 Room size there was not enough space to put luggage in a practical space. Table by small couch is as big as a big pizza and did not accommodate laptop & a cup of coffee in the same time December 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jiminy58 Great Stay A great stay on extremely short notice. Wonderful accommodations in a fantastic location. Thank you for making it such a pleasurable experience. I hope to come back very soon. February 10, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by Jesse2013 Disappointing Check-in was very delayed despite SPG gold status. It was very disorganized overall. The room was very shabby and didn't even have a dresser or any drawers for our clothes. March 4, 2013

VA Inspector General Issues Subpoena for POGO Whistleblower Records: POGO Says NoTweet
June 9, 2014
The Department of Veterans Affairs' in-house watchdog has demanded that the Project On Government Oversight turn over all information it has collected related to abuses and mismanagement at VA medical facilities, according to a subpoena delivered to POGO May 30.
The subpoena from the VA Office of Inspector General demands all records POGO has received from current or former VA employees, as well as any other individuals, including veterans. The subpoena asks for records related to "wait times, access to care, and/or patient scheduling issues at the Phoenix, Arizona VA Healthcare System and any other VA medical facility."
POGO, which has a 33-year history of working with whistleblowers to expose government fraud, waste and abuse, wrote the IG today and refused to provide the records, most of which have come from confidential tips submitted through VAOversight.org.
POGO and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) launched VAOversight.org on May 15 to offer potential whistleblowers a safe channel to confidentially report abuses in the VA healthcare system, which have been the focus of intense media scrutiny and congressional hearings in recent weeks.
Since the website went live, about 700 people have submitted tips or aired grievances. About 25 percent of those tips have come from current or former VA staffers. POGO is reviewing the information it has received and is looking into many of the claims.
In a letter sent to the IG this morning, POGO said the IG's subpoena infringes on POGO's constitutional "freedom of speech, freedom of press, and freedom of association rights as they relate to all whistleblowers and sources."
Some VA employees who contacted POGO and requested confidentiality said they feared retaliation if their names were divulged. Any of them could have reported their concerns to the VA inspector general. In fact, some of the employees told POGO that they had filed reports with the IG. Some people expressed a lack of confidence in the Office of the Inspector General.
"The Inspector General's demand stands opposed to POGO's mission and to good government reform—both of which serve the public interest," POGO Executive Director Danielle Brian said. "Our focus is squarely on investigating the problems in the VA healthcare system and trying to find some solutions.
"Our mission as a public interest watchdog would be severely damaged if we violated the trust of our sources. We have faced these kinds of threats before and have never wavered. We will not violate the trust whistleblowers have placed in us by revealing their identities to anyone."

We have eaten here several times. Always good food and services. Love the queso blanco with chips. Also love the seven pepper steak for spicy appetite.

The food is really good Mexican food. They also have a great deal on draft beers. We love this place and is our go to place if we're in the mood for Mexican. (It's not Tex-Mex, but real Mexican).
I went here with my fiance for my birthday. The food was a combination of traditional Mexican dishes, tex-mex, and southern comfort food. Everything we had, from the chips and salsa (yum) to the vegetarian chimichanga were excellent. They served large portions with obviously fresh ingredients. The real highlight, however, was the bar. The bar tenders gere are really, really... More
Six of us visited the resturant on a saturday. Although the resturant was only a third filled we waited 10 minutes to be greated and given a seat. When our orders were taken we waited 45 minutes for the food to be delivered. Repeat-45 minutes.After our meal we waited 15 minutes for a bill.
We found this restaurant several years ago and always stop on the way to our business appointments. There are usually three to five of us together and not a single discussion about where we will eat. We even started bringing others from the office on occasion and now they also want to eat there. The service there is always great... More
I know this is Florida, but I'm a Texan and the food here is more Tex-Mex than pure Mexican--thankfully. I like the chicken flautas. My husband likes the Pollo Ranchero. The decor is very interesting, very artsy Mexican. Wait staff is good and service fast. Only one complaint. I love cheese/jalapenoe poppers and they won't let you order a side... More
I believe in giving restaurants a couple of chances before I just quit going. Well, this is the case for this restaurant. The first time their A/C broke and it made it difficult to sit in there and eat. The second time the food was mediocre and the service was terrible. We waited 15 minutes before ordering our drinks and... More
Great place to eat. Staff very nice and great service. For business we try to eat here at least every few weeks. The food is great and is a refreshing relief from the nowmal Ho Hum surrounding restaurants.
my family an I used to love this place. However not sure if it has changed hands or not but I called in an order of queso which normally comes with a bag of chips an a sm. Salsa. My daughter wanted some to so I called and added another. I asked if each came with a bag of chips... More
Never thought of Plant City as a dining destination, but this trip changed my opinion. Many good options in this small town. One of our favorites finds, was Mi Casa.
