Newsboys merges traditional lyrics with modern sounds on November release
Still riding the energy of the breakout film God's Not Dead, Christian pop group Newsboys continues to strive for fresh new ways of delivering timeless truth. For their latest album, band members found inspiration in the church hymnal.
Hallelujah for the Cross (612058638014, First Company Management/Capitol Christian Distribution), the group's Nov. 4 release, delivers the message of traditional hymnody to the group's younger listeners. Songs such as "Holy, Holy, Holy," "I Surrender All," "It Is Well" and "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" are given the Newsboys' treatment.
"There's something about those old songs," lead singer Michael Tait told Christian Retailing. "There's a salvation and a freedom and some beautiful pain in the struggle and the awesome outcome because God's Word does not return void. My idea was to bring back the old songs for the newcomers because kids don't know where they came from. Respect where they came from. Don't try to make them something they're not, but put a little Newsboys 'sauce' to make it special for the next generation and get the Word of God at the same time."
On "All Hail the Power," Tait goes a capella, complete with high and low parts and vocal instrumentation.
"It took about four days to record it," he said. "But it's all me. It's all Michael Tait."
The new record is the fourth to feature Tait as the group's lead singer, and he feels really good about the place the band is in now. With a string of hit albums, recent concerts that have seen triple the crowd numbers as normal and a blockbuster movie appearance (God's Not Dead 2 is being discussed, Tait said), "Newsboys 2.0," as they've dubbed this version of the band, has become the standard, and Tait's voice guides most of the band's more recognizable songs.
Tait said recently he read a tweet of a young teenage boy who posted a picture of the band's previous incarnation featuring Peter Furler as frontman.
"He said, 'Who's the white guy and where's Michael Tait, the lead singer?' "
Tait's lighthearted response?
"That's when you know I am captain of this ship now."

Regarding the band's name, singer Adam Klutinoty said: "We learned from a study that Jesus carried His cross about a mile, and that's where our band name comes from. When we felt called to play music for the rest of our life, there was never any doubt that we would do it for His glory and treat our ministry like He did when carrying the cross. He carried a cross that we deserved to be nailed to about a mile so He could die for us. We just want to serve others as best as we can and use all our strength and ability to honor God, carrying our cross as far as we possibly can."

Iconic artist Michael W. Smith brings his musical gifting to Sovereign, a collection of fresh worship songs, as well as a deluxe version CD-DVD with a concert featuring Kari Jobe and Leeland Mooring. Sparrow Records (Capitol Christian Distribution) releases both titles May 13. Smith recently told Christian Retailing about the process of putting the new record together.
When did you decide Sovereign would be a collection of original songs?
The plan was to do a record of worship around the world. I've been literally on five continents in the past few years. The favor of God blows my mind. I said to my team, "We have to record all these shows." We captured some stunning moments, people worshipping, people in Brazil breaking into "Agnus Dei" in Portugese. That was what I was putting together with Capitol. I was working this song called "Miracle" with Chris York and said, "Maybe the 'Worship Around the World' record is for another time. Maybe we do an album of new songs." He started flipping out. It's not live, like what I've done in the past, and it's not all corporate. Half of it is kind of anthemic.
Did having a new label change how you approached this record?
I think it was much more of a team record. I've always wanted to work with Bill Hearn at the people at Capitol. I felt like I needed to change it up. I talked to every major label and ended up at Capitol. I remember being in the room and saying, "Guys, let's do this together. I don't need a bunch of 'yes men.' I need some pushback." I got out of my comfort zone and started writing with all these kids. I completely went the other direction and took a lot of risks. My faith had to increase a bit. We went through almost 120 songs to listen to, and it took that many to get to 12.
Who did you collaborate with for Sovereign?
"Miracle," I wrote with Kyle Lee and Seth Moseley. It was a great collaboration, still one of my favorite songs on the album. We let that be the bar. It's got to hit at least there. That's just the beginning of it. I'm a little too close to it because I've been listening to it over and over again in the studio. You just want to go to an island and deflate a bit. "You Won't Let Go" is another song with Seth Moseley. We were working on "Miracle," and I said, "Let me hear what you're writing. You got any ideas?" He played me the track and I picked up an acoustic guitar and started writing the melody. The song reminds me of Romans 8, "Nothing can separate." We pulled Mia Fields in who's a great songwriter. She came in and we bashed it out, and we all got excited.
With more Christian films releasing, any chance you will get in front of the camera again soon?
I've read so many scripts. I feel like there's another film for me as an actor. It's got to be the right story. I haven't found anything. It'll have to be right thing for me.

By Marshall Thomas
Director of Veterans Services
Cal State Long Beach
I'm often asked how many veterans we have on campus. An accurate number is hard to come up with because some veterans prefer to "fly under the radar" and not disclose their veteran status. With just over 500 self-identified student veterans, we have a community of students small enough to be overlooked. One of my missions is to make sure that doesn't happen.
These days we hear a lot about veterans. News stories and academic articles focus so much on the mental health and overall wellness of veterans, it's easy to get the impression that most are struggling with PTSD and traumatic injuries of the brain, body or spirit. Most of the research suggests that between 20 and 30 percent of veterans who deployed to a combat area experience one or more of these, and the results can have profound impacts on academic performance and social integration. Having services in place to provide support for affected student veterans should be a central part of every campus's mission.

An exhibition of Mr. Behl's photographs titled "Islamic Monuments of India" was inaugurated by Union Culture Minister Kumari Selja at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Delhi on Tuesday
As a melting pot of many cultures, the country offers a wide range of architectural designs, each reflecting an era and a civilisation associated with it. While some Islamic monuments such as the Taj Mahal stand out on the popularity meter across the globe, the canvas is both large and largely unexplored, according to film-maker, art historian and photographer Benoy K. Behl.
An exhibition of Mr. Behl's photographs titled "Islamic Monuments of India" was inaugurated by Union Culture Minister Kumari Selja at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan here on Tuesday.
The exhibition, a part of Mr. Behl's project of the photography of the Islamic heritage monuments of the world covering 42 countries, features mosques, tombs, madrassas, palaces and fortresses – each having a history that resonates with local architectural talent which was inspired by designs from far off lands such as Iran, Arabia and Central Asia.
The exhibition provides a glimpse of what the organisers describe as "…a vast, rich and varied heritage of Islamic architecture". The photographs reflect not only the impact that the Islamic empire had since the 12th Century onwards but also the links that the major dynasties had with other countries.
While most major monuments from the Mughal era – the crème de la crème of Islamic empire and architecture – feature in the exhibition, this offers variety in the form of mosques and dargahs of places as far and wide as Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Kashmir and other parts of India. Some monuments from the Southern parts of the country exhibit the confluence of cultures which took place here.
The iconic Taj Mahal at Agra, the Humayun's Tomb built in the 16 Century, the Bidar Fort in Karnataka and the Jama Masjid, Junagarh, on the foothills of the Girnar Hills in Gujarat are among the many monuments being showcased at the exhibition.
Mr. Behl has travelled extensively within and outside the country and taken over 35,000 photographs of Asian monuments and art heritage. He has also made documentaries on art history. His work has been well received in 28 countries across the globe.

Example of color that 'glows'. How/why does this work?
"Glowing Colors" by Tom Brown
I want to understand how and why the values and colors seem so intense and glowing here.
I thought maybe the 'overspray' effect was the key, but I took it into photoshop and erased that and it barely diminished the effect.
Then I switched it to greyscale to see if it had anything to do with the semi-complementary colors offsetting but that didn't change it much either.
The only other things I can think of are the value scale, contrast, and those firm edge value transitions.
The difference between the darkest shadow and brightest highlight isn't all that severe.
The contrast is strong in places, especially above and below the blue ring of the cup that does glow very strong.
I wonder if the effect would be so strong if the value shifts were smooth and natural instead of the firm transitions, especially on the orange. That contrast may be key.
I just know somebody is going to tell me it's all of the above. Still, any insight would be cherished.

Somebody who really knows this stuff may well pop in and tell me I'm full of it, but here's my take on it..
First it's essentially an orange and blue composition with a little green thrown in, and there's more orange at high saturation than there is blue. But there's more going on than that to aid that glowing effect. Look at all that orange/yellow light reflecting onto the side of the teacup for one thing. And down on the tabletop. The colors of that peach (or whatever it is) are worked in all over really, as are the blues of the teacup. And even when you turn the saturation down to look at it in black and white, there's still reflected light bleeding into every shadow. That gives a strong impression of bright light bouncing around between all the visible surfaces in a room where the background is dark.

It is a clever use of hue, complementary, cool/warm, value, saturation, simultaneous and extension contrast. So, yes, it is all of the above. I suggest you read up on Johannes Itten's colour contrasts...

Another question might be whether the technique actually creates an interesting painting. This kind of loose brush work certainly has bravado to it, but the colors here are, in my opinion, too formulaic to sustain interest.

It's more having the pure unadulterated colour next to greyed down ones that give that glow.

Black spot is right. Bright color near grayed down ones boost contrast. And look at every object: are highlighted, with a darker grayish but still colored core in it.

It still works because of the gray shadow on the cup. Try to make it all white (as one could just trying for pump up lights). The magic will disappear =)

any light value will glow when surrounded by darker values....
It's all a game of contrast.....
And also the high saturation plays a big role in making that orange really shine...
And also the orange is surrounded by it's complement.....
It's the ultimate contrast!!!

These diagrams should help anyone who thinks the glow can be explained purely in terms of contrast. (Sorry, I can't at the moment remember their original source!). The two diagrams are made of identical pieces differently arranged. The diamond shape on the left has more contrast at its edges, and this can make it look whiter (particularly when printed out), but it's the diamond shape on the right that seems to glow. I believe this glow results from the value gradients radiating from the shape, which give the impression of the halation of light that occurs when we look at bright lights surrounded by darkness. (Of course, the value of the diamond shape necessarily has to be higher than the surround, so contrast is involved in that sense).
A similar effect of halation is a major contributing factor to the glow of the fruit in the painting. Another factor is the presence of colours in the shadows that can be visually interpreted as light reflected from the fruit, as Darkstrider said. Yet another factor is the desaturation of the most brightly lit zone of the fruit, which gives the impression that this area is beyond the level of adaptation of our eyes. (When our eyes are fully adapted, the most brightly lit area is the most strongly coloured). It's this combination of visual cues consistent with the lit area of the fruit radiating large amounts of light that lead us to visually read the image that way.

Nice analysis Briggsy,
well, last week I brought the picture to my pupils. Explain' to them the wise choice the artist did, I find out some intersting relations. The orange and the blu of the cup are complemetary, that's sure. But, look at the deep violet of the cup basament. That's in relation with the yallow top of the orange. This generate a chasm relationship of complemetary, and that's a powerful combo. But still the artist had the last complementary couple, and here comes the green leaves in opposition with the red heart of the orange. That's why this orange is so bright: because is sorrounded by its complementary in different directions. I'm not sure if this artist make all this istinctually or with intellectual process... But sure this is a perfect study on simultaneous complementary.
April 29th, 2014 #12
If you look at the RGB colours in the image quantitatively (second attachment), the harmony or gamut essentially involves a broad range of analogous hues centred on orange-yellow (i.e. yellow-green to orange-red), and the middle blue complement of orange-yellow, seen in the stripe on the cup, and also at very low chroma in some of the greys. This complementary gamut certainly gives a liveliness the colours of the picture, though I think it's mainly the subtle blue in the shadows that assists the other factors promoting the actual illusion of luminosity.
The orange/blue, red/green and violet/yellow complementaries are part of a very simplistic and antiquated approach to colour theory that was revived in the 1970's when the teaching of the technical elements in art education reached its lowest point. The sooner they are dropped entirely the better!

This page has some additional examples of dramatic "glow" created using specific quantitative colour/value relationships (as opposed to contrast per se):
The apparent brightness of the one below actually causes observers' pupils to contract temporarily, even though the apparently glowing white in the middle is physically identical to the white around the outside.

This is good color contrast!! You can use various oil and water colors which makes much more realistic contrast. Good knowledge about colors helps you to make better color contrast.

Zoobiquity: What Dolphin Diabetes Can Teach Us About Human Health
Dinosaurs suffered from brain cancer, arthritis, and gout. Koalas catch Chlamydia. Gorillas experience clinical depression. Stallions self-harm in a way that correlates to "cutting" for human patients. Animals and humans get the same diseases, yet physicians and veterinarians rarely talk. Drawing on the latest in medical and veterinary science, as well as evolutionary and molecular biology, Barbara Natterson-Horowitz proposes an interdisciplinary, comparative approach to physical and behavioral health for doctors treating patients of all species, and shows us how animal medicine might help us all feel better.
Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, M.D., is Professor of Medicine in the UCLA Division of Cardiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Director of Imaging for the UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center, Director of the Zoobiquity Research Initiative at UCLA, and Co-Director of the UCLA Evolutionary Medicine Program. In addition to her expertise in cardiology, she also is a psychiatrist. Dr. Natterson-Horowitz completed her psychiatry residency and served as Chief Resident at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. She combines her training in psychiatry and cardiology to focus on the relationship between psychological states and heart disease. She also serves as a cardiovascular consultant to the Los Angeles Zoo as a member of its Medical Advisory Board. She has provided medical consultation and imaging services to the zoo's veterinarians, assisting with many patients representing various mammal and non-mammal species.
Dr. Natterson-Horowitz completed her undergraduate studies at Harvard College and received a Master's degree from Harvard University. She received her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco.

More on Employment Agencies
Sometimes the process of finding a job can happen quickly, and the best way to stay ready when the time comes is to be working with local employment agencies. Local employment agencies have access to all of the local companies that are hiring, and when a local company is looking to hire someone in a hurry then they want to interview candidates right away. That is when the local employment agencies round up their prospective candidates and set up interviews much faster than any out of town agency could ever do it. You have the advantage of the relationship between the employer and the agency, and you also have the supreme advantage of having a local employment counselor ready to set you up on an interview at a moments notice. When all of the information is put together, it looks like the local employment professionals offer the complete package that no one else can offer. If you really want to find a job in your local area, then call your local employment organizations to set up a preliminary interview.

A cozy Asian eatery, Teriyaki Grill serves up all-natural cuisine without unexpected extras such as MSG and unappetizing additives. Step up to the counter to order spicy teriyaki chicken nestled in a boxed bento ($7.50) or bowl ($5.99), or put hand shovels to work by digging into a juicy teriyaki burger and fries ($5.99). The seared tuna salad keeps meals just shy of raw ($9), and a classic barbecue-pork banh mi sandwich swaddles barbecue pork, jalapeño, sour carrots, and white radish in a crispy baguette for stomach snuggling ($3.50, $6 for a foot long). Sip on potables such as sweet Vietnamese iced coffee ($1.99) and Japanese soda ($1.99) to prep mouths for a main sweet-tooth event of mochi ice cream ($2.99 for three).
A simple broth characterizes shio ramen, the variety that fills most bowls here. Its distinguishing characteristic is the tangy-sweet taste of ginger. For even more kick, opt for the spicy ramen.
Adhering to the balanced energies of Feng Shui, the dining room at Iron Wok Asian Bistro is captivating in its blend of romance, whimsy, and chic décor. A giant fish tank and strings of hanging lights illuminate the dining room, casting a warm glow over the full-sized trees and brick walls that surround the dining room's booths.
Chefs mirror this balanced approach with their cooking, blending together the artistry of presentation with the classic recipes culled from numerous Southeast Asian cuisines. They use only spices imported from Asia, adding a subtle zing to dishes such as their honey-glazed shrimp tossed with walnuts. Chefs even roll together a selection of sushi, and specially prepare a full menu of vegetarian dishes for those who abstain from meat. Their dessert menu incorporates traditional Asian flavors to create dishes such as their mochi or green tea ice cream and fried bananas with coconut pineapple ice cream.
Named for a Japanese raccoon-dog celebrated in myth for its roguish trickster image, Rocking Tanuki serves feasts of ocean-fresh nigiri and maki, tender katsu cutlets, and umami noodle soups and rice dishes. At the open sushi bar, chefs create inventive rolls such as an albacore and serrano-pepper Pancho Villa or a deep-fried California roll. Diners delicately munch on morsels of tuna and smoked salmon nigiri or show off chopstick skills as they pick up the pieces of tempura, chicken, and beef intermixed with udon and ramen. Deep crimson wallpaper, fluttering paper scrolls, and warm light from glowing paper lanterns unite to create a relaxing ambiance.
More than 15 HD televisions illuminate the bustling interior of State St. Grill, located steps from San Diego State University. Though its burgers, such as the bacon-topped Hall of Flame and the pineapple teriyaki, satisfy traditional sports-bar cravings, its impressive lineup of sushi and sashimi dominates the menu. Many rolls are served in unconventional ways, such as the sushi burrito, one uncut roll of shrimp tempura and spicy crab wrapped in soy paper, or the lollipop roll whose pieces are served on sticks. SDSU games make regular appearances, allowing guests to cheer on the Aztecs as they sip on hot sake, cold beer, or room-temperature air.
The experienced chefs at Wonderful Sushi handcraft a large variety of sashimi combinations, nigiri, and maki rolls, as well as a smattering of hot entrees doused in teriyaki or sesame sauce. The white tuna roll is a customer favorite, filled with spicy tuna, snow crab, and avocado and then topped with tender white tuna and special sauce. There are even some hot sushi rolls available, including the deep-fried tempura california roll. Diners can cheer on the chefs with foam fingers while sitting at the sushi bar, or they can grab a glass of wine, Japanese beer, or sake for a relaxing hour on the outdoor patio.

Bryant, ranked No. 30 in the ESPN 150 and No. 2 running back, said in the past he didn't have a stronger bond with a coach than with Gundy, Oklahoma's running back coach.

Bryant surprised many, including himself, when he committed to the Sooners on an unofficial visit March 31. But most agreed it would be a tough chore for OU to hang onto him until national signing day.

Secret DARPA Mind Control Project Revealed: Leaked DocumentQuicklink submitted by Ginger Carter Permalink
(more...) (less...) ,
|'Activist Post: What if the government could change people's moral beliefs or stop political dissent through remote control of people's brains? Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, a leaked document reveals that the US government, through DARPA research, is very close to accomplishing this. Activist Post was recently contacted by an anonymous whistleblower who worked on a secret ongoing mind-control project for DARPA. The aim of the program is to remotely disrupt political dissent and extremism by employing 'Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation' (TMS) in tandem with sophisticated propaganda based on this technology. TMS stimulates the temporal lobe of the brain with electromagnetic fields. The program, conducted by The Center for Strategic Communication, is based at Arizona State University. The DARPA funding for this project can be confirmed on the ASU website here.'

Our Story
Holiday Retirement was founded by William E. Colson, often recognized as the father of Independent Retirement Living, with his father Hugh Colson in 1971. At the time, William was operating Colson & Colson construction, specializing in building high-level care facilities for seniors – referred to as "nursing homes".
William and his father realized that while seniors were benefitting from the quality care they received in these facilities, they could be benefiting even more from a nurturing, community environment that met seniors' other needs: social, physical, educational and spiritual, at an affordable, all-inclusive monthly rate.
They opened their first independent retirement community in Vancouver, Washington in 1971. Today there are more than 300 Holiday Retirement senior living communities across the United States and Canada, and tens of thousands of seniors are enjoying the one-of-a-kind lifestyle only Holiday can provide.
Although we have grown in size, we remain true to the core values instilled by William E. Colson, and are as committed now as he was then to improving the lives of seniors.

I have been working at Holiday Retirement full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
You have minimal expense, so you can save for your OWN Retirement! The relationships you build. The associates who work sooooo hard ! The team you Build. Overall Home office is trying!Cons
The long, hair on fire, Hours. The Co managers have no clue as to how the business needs to run. If you try to teach them how operations work they are not interested in learning. They get to be social, and do not understand what it takes to balance ALL the hats the Mangers wear. This is why the management turnover at the Community level. If the RD would practice what the Company preaches and take care of the Managers and have their back , the Managers could build a TEAM. We do the division of LABOR.. but still do it ALL. When you have an accountability talk with the COs and they don't like the delegation they CRY fowl.. to RD We as the OWNER of the business, to make it successful should have our boss on our side.
The hoops that we have to JUMP through to get what we need to take care of residents and the building upkeep is a JOKE. We are told to know our budgets, sales, take care of the CUSTOMER (the Resident)... but don't do anything unless you get APPROVAL on any decision. We love what we do .... but burn out is a given !!! No one should have a pit in their stomach everyday they are on the job. Work Life Balance -0-.. We can not get floaters as NO one coordinates relief for a Team. We earn vacation time but can not take... the Teams cover for each other so when you do a take a day or two.. you come back and work 5-9 days straight 24/7 so the time off Is voided.. back to being exhausted. You do it every day/week/month to be there for your RESIDENTS.... at very low wage based on the hours.. and get NO pay increase. Even as a top level Community your earn no more than struggling Manager.Advice to ManagementAdvice
HELP do not hinder us! Please quit taking advantage of your LEAD Managers.... Do something for them.. Let them rub their Communities.
You know what Communities have poor Managers ... coach those teams.... Reward your top teams. Everyone, under we take care of with praise, rewards , associate appreciation. But the Leads, (US), get nothing from above. Yet the buck stops with us on all levels. Please stop the abuse of the Community managers.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

November 28, 2014
DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Pistons shook the NBA in a big way Monday - landing former MVP Allen Iverson from the Denver Nuggets.
The Pistons gave up All-Star point guard and former NBA finals MVP Chauncey Billups and top reserve Antonio McDyess.
The trade was confirmed by a basketball official, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.
Pistons spokesman Kevin Grigg declined to comment, and messages were left for a Nuggets spokesman as well as for an agent representing Billups and McDyess.
The blockbuster deal comes two games into the season for Detroit. The Pistons have been a model of consistency in recent years, but they were determined to change their core following a third straight exit from the Eastern Conference finals last summer.
The Pistons play at Charlotte Monday night. The Bobcats are coached by Larry Brown, who led Billups and the Pistons to the 2004 NBA title and also guided the Iverson-led Philadelphia 76ers to a spot in the finals in 2001.
Billups returns to familiar surroundings - he was born in Denver and played in college at Colorado. McDyess also will be enjoying a homecoming of sorts, having been a Nugget from 1995-97 and 1998-02.

Lawrence Bruce Kekule, an American by birth, has lived in Thailand for more than four decades.
Bruce has photographed Thailand's wild creatures and habitats for 15 years. He has travelled all over the country on a photographic odyssey portraying the natural world. Bruce's passion for the Kingdom and its wildlife, and his mission to show the world this beauty, will surely create awareness amongst the present generation that action is needed now to save Thailand's wild places and animals for the future.
Chasing a Wild Dream
He published his first book Wildlife in the Kingdom of Thailand in 1999. His second book entitled Thailand's Natural Heritage was published in 2004 and Wild Rivers, his third, was completed in 2008. He has also written many newspaper and magazine articles about wildlife. Born in the United States, he has lived in Thailand since 1964. His dream to produce wildlife photographic books continues.
Kekule is married to a Thai national and they live in Bangkok with their daughter, son-in-law and two grand daughters. His main objective is to educate the Thai people about their natural heritage before it is too late. A second objective is to help the park rangers who patrol the forests with food, clothing and equipment to create incentive among these men who put their lives on the line for the Kingdom's forest and wildlife.
One of the most beautiful of all the Asian wild cats
Once upon a time, the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) was found all over Thailand when some 75 percent of the country was covered in forest. At the end of WWII, the human population really began to explode and these magnificent biospheres were cut down for agriculture and settlement taking all the natural resources in its wake. Modern transportation, weapons and logging on a grand scale began to quickly shrink this once remarkable heritage.
Barely 20 percent forest cover is now surviving in an ever-shrinking wilderness. The clouded leopard has been exterminated primarily for its pelt and now survives in all but a few protected areas throughout the Kingdom. It is one of the most beautiful marked creatures in the world. The marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata), another wild feline is similar in coat pattern but smaller in size. Both of these cats have become extremely rare throughout their range.
In July of this year, I decided to make a trip down to Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary in southern Thailand in conjunction with Greg McCann and Habitat I.D. (NGO to monitor wildlife in Southeast Asia) to set some camera traps in the moist evergreen forest to see what was still thriving here. Three years ago, I did a camera trap and photographic survey of this protected area and got a marbled cat up on a ridgeline in the interior, plus a clouded leopard in a cave entrance at another location. I knew there was still good possibilities that I would get these cats again.
I decided to set my Nikon D90 DSLR trail cam along with a couple Bushnell Trophy Cams at this same location. Unfortunately, the hard-wired slave flashes were not working due to wiring problems and so left the cam with its single hot-shoe mounted Nikon SB-400 flash. I knew then if the cam caught any creature, I would get images with 'eye-shine' but decided to leave it anyway.
I have just returned from Khlong Saeng to collect the data from these cams. Imagine my surprise to see a clouded leopard on the D90's card. It was an absolute joy to see this cat had passed the cam and even though the 'eye-shine' was there, the markings and beauty of this carnivore is truly remarkable. I have pulled the D90 and put a Canon 400D with three Nikon SB-28 slaves which was working very well when I left it. The Bushnell cams also recorded many other species and I will be doing a video post soon. Enjoy…!

Boy, 11, is Boston's first blizzard death
The boy and his dad were shoveling out their car on Nazing Street off Blue Hill Avenue around 11:30 a.m. when the boy got into the vehicle to warm up.
"The boy was getting cold so they cleared out the passenger side and the boy got inside to stay warm," Boston fire spokesman Stephen MacDonald said.
The rear-end of the car was packed into a snowbank and the exhaust apparently backed up into the car, overcoming the boy.
Two neighbors performed CPR on the boy, whose name was not released, and were able to temporarily revive his breathing. Firefighters and paramedics continued CPR as the boy was transported to Boston Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead a short time ago, MacDonald said.
The boy's father also suffered a heart attack and was at BMC being treated.
Sheila Adams was riding out the storm at her daughter's home nearby when she heard someone screaming to call an ambulance.
She said the father was semi-conscious and asked about his son as soon as he started to come to.
"The first thing he said when he came through was 'where is my son?' and he just stated crying," Adams said.
Her daughter, Shakiena Phifer, performed CPR on the boy and is devastated by his death.
"She still beyond upset right now," Adams said. Adams said everyone did the best they could to try to stop the tragedy.
"The neighbor came together as a whole to do what they could do until help arrived," Adams said.
As the tragic news broke, state Fire Marshal Stephen Coan made a desperate plea to people digging out from this weekend's blizzard to make ventilation of their homes, businesses and cars their first priority.
Coan said many modern houses have wall-mounted outside vents for their furnaces which must be clear on the outside or the fumes from the heater will build up inside their home.
"Many houses are built with these kinds of vents that are 2 to 4 feet above the ground," he said. "With 5- to 7-foot drifts, they're covering them up."
Coan also warned people that barbeque grills and generators should only be used outside with plenty of ventilation to avoid fumes in the home that can poison people who live there.
"History is a good teacher here, after any kind of storm, whether it's a hurricane, snow storm or tornado, as the storm wears down you've got to get people to pay attention to carbon monoxide," he said.
Coan also cautioned people warming up their cars as they dig them out of high snow piles or running them to charge cell phones, should first clear their tail pipes to allow engine exhaust to vent into the air, otherwise it can find its way into the car's cabin where it will poison the atmosphere.
"You've got to have ventilation (for exhaust) if you're going to dig your car out. Clear out the exhaust vent first," Coan said.
He also urged people all over the area affected by the storm to dig out fire hydrants just in case firefighters need water in a hurry to fight a fire in your neighborhood.
"If there's a fire in your neighborhood we don't want to waste precious time looking for a fire hydrant," Coan. "I say, 'Adopt a fire hydrant.'"
