Firefox 3.7 May Receive New Interface Design
Mozilla looks to transform the interface of its Firefox browser in the next major release.
This post over on the Mozilla Wiki shows early mockups of an obviously planned redesign of the Firefox browser interface for v3.7. Created by designer Stephen Horlander, the images depict three appearances: Windows Vista and 7 using Aero, Windows Vista and 7 without Aero, and four layouts for Windows XP (Luna, Silver, Olive, Royale).
"These are not final," Horlander declares on the webpage. "They are only for brainstorming [and] exploration."
Despite that fact, the mockups show a definite improvement over the outdated default Windows design present in the current version. For all three platforms, the mockup depicts raised buttons to achieve a "tactile" feel. For the Vista and 7 versions, the images sport a new Page button and a translucent, "glassy" appearance. In addition, the menu bar looks to borrow from Google's Chrome and implement a pair of drop-down menu buttons.

They should change the interface so that the blonde girl with the firefox shirt is the background of everything.
Or without the firefox shirt.
0maigo , July 21, 2009 10:29 PMIt better have an off button
or just flat out naked
-3bmadd , July 21, 2009 11:01 PMBut then there gonna have to put "For 18+ Only" on the browers, and there goes half there user base
1salem80 , July 21, 2009 11:03 PMeven with FireFox 2.0 interface i found it great at all ..
5Clintonio , July 21, 2009 11:14 PMDo I detect some version number inflation?
3doomtomb , July 21, 2009 11:18 PMYawn. The fact that they didn't change anything in functionality but changed the pretty buttons, they think they need deserve some sort of celebration in their wonderful achievements. As soon as you put the hot blonde with the FireFox shirt in your browser, I think that will deserve praise.

3Anonymous , July 22, 2009 12:11 AMThey spend months and years trying to improve the responsiveness,and now they are going to make the browser heavier?
I hope one can disable the skins, I'm quite comfortable the way it works now!
4belardo , July 22, 2009 12:28 AMFireFox 3.5 has a touched up interface. 3.7 looks pretty much the same. Eitherway, 3.0 is still a lot better than the IE7/8 mess.

If the default skin blends better with my desktop I won't have any need for a downloaded theme. Therefor, it will be lighter for me. Plus it looks like all the legacy type skins are still there if that's your thing.
37amood , July 22, 2009 2:34 AMI can't see many changes at the top...
but somehow it seems to me that the new look is chrome being run by firefox... weird...
anyone else??
5redkachina , July 22, 2009 2:39 AMyeahh..looks like chrome too
1joeman42 , July 22, 2009 2:43 AMHere's a new feature suggestion: Stability.
0pocketdrummer , July 22, 2009 4:11 AM..... looks like a crap version on IE.
Where's File | Edit | View ... etc? I personally hate the "everything button" on the right like IE.
2Zingam , July 22, 2009 5:54 AMI want it to reach 100% in ACID3 test...
2Zingam , July 22, 2009 5:55 AMAlso I think that they crapped the UI in FF 3.5 a little bit! Why can't I close the last tab??? That sux! If I want to make the content disappear now I have to open a new tab and only then to close the previous tab! WTF?
1zodiacfml , July 22, 2009 6:41 AMthat's a nice interface but i'm backward, i still need the speed of the chrome browser.
1randomizer , July 22, 2009 7:46 AMzingamWhy can't I close the last tab???
Because you didn't select that option in the Tools->Options->Tabs menu. PEBKAC
I don't know about the rest of you, but I prefer to look at the web page more than the browser.

So far so good, but we'll see in Winter!

Comments about Nashbar Baxter Cold Weather Gloves:
I bought these gloves for my wife on sale to prep for the upcoming winter commute. Our temperature hasn't been very cold so they are a bit warm for her, but that is a good sign for how they may handle in the winter. I feel confident that they'll do just fine. The only complaint is that it was a little difficult for her to shift gears. She rides a townie with an internal 5 speed with the twisting shifter.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

'not sure on these'
By BBB
from Jasper, IN
About Me Avid Cyclist
just a little bulkier then i would like. i have not had a chance to wear these yet but the feel of them would make me think that they will keep you warm. just a little to much glove for a rider.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So far so good
By Benisaud
from Seattle, WA
My Garmin said it was 38 degrees on today's two and a half hour ride and hands were nice and warm. However, I only gave 4 stars (instead of 5) because I can't comment regarding water resistance. I haven't done a "soaker" ride with them yet.

from north berwick, maine
fit ok around circumference of hand as sizing chart indicated, but fingers too short and tight.

Decent, but no panacea
By npm
from Washington, DC
The description said the gloves would keep "fingers toasty." They didn't. On one hand, they are the warmest biking gloves I've ever owned. The fabric is comfortable and they are thick but not so bulky as to make handling and braking difficuly. On the other hand, my fingers still got painfully cold after only about 5 minutes in 20-30 degree (F) weather. I do tend to have poor circulation and my brief ride doesn't give me time to warm up, so others are likely to have a bit better experience.
Fantastically Warm!
By Brent the Buddhist
from West Michigan
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Purchased the gloves for winter training. I've been wearing them outside, to work, out on the frozen lake.
Doesn't Live Up to its Description
By Gringoalto
I have a 16 mile commute to work that takes me 70 minutes. Today I wore them for the first time. It was 29oF, and about 30 minutes into my commute my fingers were uncomfortable. After 70 minutes my fingers were numb. If you have a short commute they might work, or if the temperature is in the 30s, but I would not recommend them for temperatures in the 20s.
Decent glove
By Velo vortex
from KS
I have only worn these a few times, but they have kept my digits warm in 40 degree/30 wind chills (Thinsulate). Like most gloves, they fit my index finger great but are a little long in the thumb & shorter fingers. I don't think these would be great for very aggressive riding as grip & precise shifting control may be compromised. They are thick & the grips that "keep you locked into the bike" are the minimal printing you can see on the palm & 1st 3 digits. From what I can see, these provide no clear advantage over a decent pair of ski gloves you may already have in the closet; comparing bulk (only slightly less), finger movement, grip & warmth. They do not appear to have any water resistance, but that is untested.

Satisfactory value
By Benjie
from Memphis, TN
It is comparable to many cycling or equivalent gloves which cost much more. For me personally, it is good for temperatures >35 degrees F. Below this temperature, the hands become numb after a few miles. I do tend to get cold hands quickly however compared to many other cyclists. Barr Mitts are the best passive product that I have found. These gloves are nice to have around for certain temperature ranges.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

The Super Antibody And The Holy Grail
Last week, I complained about the British weather (which is still awful by the way) and outlined how the pharma industry is already preparing for this year's winter flu season. Following on from that, I've just read a really interesting story about the holy grail of flu vaccine manufacturers — the possibility of a super, universal vaccine that could protect against all common strains of influenza.

Hotel Wilhelmshof
Hotel description Hotel Wilhelmshof
In the immediate vicinity of one of the main attractions of Vienna, the Ferris wheel in Vienna's Prater, our City-Hotel "Der Wilhelmshof" is located in a quiet side alley. The style of the classical façade of the 120-year-old main building has been preserved in its full splendour unto the present day. The interior of the family-run 4-star hotel impresses by its warm, artistic atmosphere, which, together with the modern technical equipment and personal service, is thoroughly tailored to the needs and the well-being of our guests. We are a very special hotel, since art accompanies our guests throughout the hotel – from the elegant entrance hall through the artistically staged mezzanines up to the stylish guest rooms that are individually designed. There is not only WLAN available to our guests for free, but also a hotel-owned garage (with costs). In 2011, upon popular request we have converted our bar into a non-smoking bar – and are thus now entirely a non-smoking hotel. In this cosy ambience, our employees serve various types of coffee and tea, juices, fine wines and excellent spirits. The comfortable seating invites you to linger. At our breakfast buffet we focus on fresh, local products, which our guests can enjoy daily in our lovely breakfast rooms. The strengths of our non-smoking hotel include, in addition to professionalism, the pleasant, familiar atmosphere and attention to detail.

New report: Nearly 1 in 7 Coloradans struggle with hunger
Sept. 3, 2014
One in seven Coloradans and Americans were unsure of when or where they would get their next meal at times during 2013, according to new data released today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service in its annual report on food insecurity.
The USDA report, Household Food Security in the United States in 2013, shows that 49 million Americans, including 16 million children across the nation, struggled to put food on the table. In Colorado, the rate of food insecurity was 13.9 percent last year, which is lower than the national average, but matches the three-year average from 2011 to 2013 that is still significantly higher than the 9.7-percent average from 2001 to 2003 prior to the Great Recession.
One in five American households with children (19.5 percent) reported food insecurity, and more than three in five (62 percent) food-insecure households reported receiving assistance from one or more of the major federal nutrition programs during the month prior to the 2013 survey. Those programs include food stamps, federally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; the National School Lunch Program, which provide access to free and reduced-price school meals; and WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infants and Children for pregnant women and those with children up to five years old.
"This report underscores the importance of federal nutrition programs in helping individuals get back on their feet and supporting families who struggle due to a health issue, job loss or minimum-wage job," said Kathy Underhill, executive director for Hunger Free Colorado. "We need to invest in our state and people, and we can do that by making hunger a priority and strengthening vital programs that fuel better, healthier lives and stronger communities."
To combat such food insecurity statistics, 200 anti-hunger advocates and community members will gather at the Arvada Center on Sept. 8 for the fourth annual Hunger Free Colorado Summit. Attendees will discuss ideas and solutions that can connect more Coloradans to food resources through systemic, policy and social change.
"Our state has made significant progress in breaking down barriers to food access, but there's still more work to be done and collaboration is key," said Underhill. "By fostering more collaboration, sharing best practices and exploring innovative approaches, we can move closer to ensuring no Coloradan goes hungry."

Colorado gardeners encouraged to donate excess produce to local food pantries
August 28, 2014
Watch recent media interviews and read recent news stories about the partnership:
- 9NEWS: Donate your extra garden produce to local food pantries (Sept. 4, 2014)
- 7NEWS: Urban gardeners donating portion of harvest to Colorado's hungry (Sept. 4, 2014)
- CPR: Zucchini overload? Colo. food pantries want your garden's surplus (Aug. 29, 2014)
September is not only Hunger Awareness Month but also the time when many gardeners find themselves harvesting more food than they can eat. One call is all it takes to connect gardeners with families and individuals in need, thanks to a partnership between Produce for Pantries and Hunger Free Colorado's statewide hotline, called the Hunger Free Hotline, which connects Coloradans to food resources as well as donation opportunities.
"Collaboration and community engagement is key to ending hunger in our state," said Kathy Underhill, executive director for Hunger Free Colorado, which runs the Hunger Free Hotline. "Through this partnership, we can ensure more Coloradans have access to fresh foods, helping them lead better, healthier lives and building stronger communities across our state."
Produce for Pantries, a Denver-based coalition of more than a dozen organizations, addresses hunger in Colorado by encouraging community, school and home gardeners to plant, grow and share produce with those in need via food pantries in their neighborhoods. Hunger Free Colorado leads efforts to connect families and individuals to food and nutrition resources, and to create positive changes in systems, policies and social views, so no Coloradan goes hungry.
Gardeners across the state can find nearby participating food pantries by calling the statewide Hunger Free Hotline toll-free at (855) 855-4626, Monday through Friday.
Coloradans also can take other action during Hunger Awareness Month, whether it be volunteering, educating others or another activity. Learn how you can be a part of the solution.
Young philanthropist and anti-hunger advocated honored with 7Everyday Hero Award
July 22, 2014
Eight-year-old TJ, founder and president of the self-organized service group, Parker Kids' Club, recently received KMGH-TV's 7Everyday Hero Award for his commitment and fundraising support for Hunger Free Colorado.
TJ founded the Parker Kids' Club in May 2013, with a goal to fundraise and bolster awareness for Hunger Free Colorado because, as he says, "no kid in Colorado should be hungry." Since then, the club has grown to 21 members and has raised more than $1,760 for Hunger Free Colorado, in addition to increasing community awareness about the issue of hunger.
Their activities over the past year include lemonade and food stands, garage sales, movie nights and a bowl-a-thon, and all of the money raised supports Hunger Free Colorado's efforts to connect more Colorado families and individuals to food and nutrition resources, as well as to create positive changes in systems, policies and social views, so no Coloradan goes hungry.
TJ has shown that anyone can be a part of the solution at any age and that your actions can help create positive change for those who are struggling to make ends meet. The entire team at Hunger Free Colorado is not only thankful for his support and dedication to an issue that affects so many in our state but also inspired and humbled.

Statewide collaborative effort ensures fewer Colorado kids go hungry this summer
June 17, 2014
Summer should be a fun and enriching time for all Colorado children, but for many it represents a time when they are at the greatest risk of hunger due to lost access to school meals. A collaborative effort of government agencies, nonprofit and community-based organizations, and school districts focuses on addressing child hunger through a statewide summer food program. This summer, more than 500 community sites across Colorado will provide meals to children up to 18 years old at no cost.
The Summer Food Service Program, funded by the USDA, was established to serve as a nutritional safeguard for children when school is not session. It is administered by the Colorado Department of Education and supported by Hunger Free Colorado, with hundreds of Colorado organizations providing meals in their communities and neighborhoods. Sites such as churches, schools and recreation centers offer free, nutritious breakfasts, lunches and/or suppers that meet federal nutrition guidelines, as well as fun, engaging activities for children. There are no income or registration requirements for participation.
"All children should have access to the fuel needed for healthy lives, so they can thrive in and out of school," said Kathy Underhill, executive director for Hunger Free Colorado, the state's leading anti-hunger advocacy organization. "It's estimated one in five Colorado kids experience hunger, but programs like this one serve to ensure fewer kids go hungry. It fills a nutritional gap and helps families stretch their food budgets farther."
Last year more than 1.34 million summer meals were served to Colorado kids and teens, almost double compared to summer 2009.
Colorado families can find nearby summer food sites by calling the statewide, bingual Hunger Free Hotline toll-free at (855) 855-4626 or by using an interactive map at KidsFoodFinder.org.
New state tax credit to boost fresh-food donations, increase access for struggling Coloradans
May 30, 2014
Now, more Colorado families will gain additional access to healthy, local foods. Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the Colorado Charitable Crop Donation Act today at Adobe House Farm in Durango, Colo., surrounded by ranchers, farmers, emergency food providers and community members.
"Durango is a great place to celebrate the signing of this new tax credit that will positively impact Colorado ranchers and farmers, many who are already supporting their communities, as well as our state's residents," said Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango, one of the bill sponsors.
House Bill 14-1119 advanced from the House of Representatives and Senate, with widespread support under the dome and in Colorado communities. The 25-percent tax credit will go into effect January 2015 and be offered to local producers who donate excess foods to Colorado food banks and pantries.
"The Act is an investment in our neighbors, communities and state," said lead bill sponsor, Rep. Mike McLachlan of Durango. "The Colorado legislature recognized that, and now a new tax credit will benefit our state's agriculture community, emergency food providers and those experiencing hunger."
The Colorado Charitable Crop Donation Act not only will increase fresh-food donations from local producers but provide struggling Coloradans with additional access to fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products and meat products. It's estimated that nearly one in six Coloradans face a time when there is not enough money to buy food.
"We're all at our best when we have enough to eat; yet, too many children, seniors and families struggle to get the fuel needed for better, healthier lives and stronger communities," said Kathy Underhill, executive director for Hunger Free Colorado, the state's leading anti-hunger organization. "The new tax credit means more Coloradans will be able to access needed nutrition through local food."
Hunger Free Colorado and Feeding Colorado—Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado, Community Food Share, Food Bank for Larimer County, Food Bank of the Rockies and Weld Food Bank—served as lead supporters for this legislation, along with support from the Colorado Farm Bureau, Colorado Nonprofit Association, CSU-Extension, LiveWell Colorado and Rocky Mountain Farmers Union. The bill was sponsored by Rep. McLachlan (D-Durango), Sen. Hodge (D-Brighton) and Sen. Roberts (R-Durango), and co-sponsored by Rep. Dore (R-Elizabeth).
"Passing the Colorado Charitable Crop Donation Act to help our agricultural industry provide additional food for the hungry is a 'win-win' for our entire community," said Jim Baldwin, president of Feeding Colorado, the originating sponsor of the legislation. "Feeding Colorado is grateful for the bipartisan support of this bill and excited to be able to distribute more farm-fresh food through our programs and partner agencies."

Full Pantries, Full Lives Leadership Institute launches, welcomes first cohort
May 12, 2014
With nearly one in six Coloradans facing a time when there is not enough money to buy food, collaboration is key in connecting our neighbors—from children to seniors—with the fuel needed to lead better, healthier lives.
The Full Pantries, Full Lives Leadership Institute, a first-of-its-kind endeavor in Colorado, launched in April 2014, with a goal to ensure that those seeking food assistance not only are aware of available resources but have reasonable access to adequate, nutritious food in a client-centered experience. It is a two-year project—facilitated by Hunger Free Colorado and generously funded by The Denver Foundation—to support a cohort of food pantry leaders in sharing knowledge, developing skills, deepening connections and leading innovative efforts to better serve clients and the Denver metro community.
Those leaders participating include:
- Michael Bright of ACS Community L.I.F.T.
- Kent Replogle of Amazing Grace Community Church
- Judy Barrow of Aurora Interchurch Services
- Greg Pratt of Bienvenidos Food Bank
- Todd Clough of Denver Inner City Parish
- Tammy Mulligan of Denver Urban Ministries
- Sharon Smith of Evergreen Christian Outreach
- Teva Sienicki of Growing Home, Inc.
- Andrew Coonan of Helping Our People Excel
"This is a strong group of thought leaders who will share best practices, explore new models, build synergy and further collaboration in providing important services provided in their communities," said Kathy Underhill, executive director for Hunger Free Colorado. "Their participation will result in improved organizational efforts, as well as allow them to build upon each other's work, creating a ripple effect of positive change."
The Denver Foundation invested in the Full Pantries, Full Lives Leadership Institute, in partnership with Hunger Free Colorado, due to their commitment to building effective systems for the provision of emergency food to those in need. Their involvement also, in part, was a result of their work with the nonprofit organizations and grassroots entities involved in the Food Pantry Partnerships Project.
"We recognize that leadership development and innovation—and the necessary support for advancement—are critical in connecting with those in our communities," said Monica Buhlig, Director of Basic Human Needs for The Denver Foundation. "The Denver Foundation has a long-term commitment to inclusiveness and resident-centered practices, which is why we offer dedicated technical assistance to all participants in these areas. By investing in the leadership of pantries, we're investing in those who play a critical role in ensuring people have access to food."

New poll: Colorado voters care about hunger
March 13, 2014
Stripes do not matter when it comes to hunger in swing-state Colorado. According to a new statewide poll released today by Hunger Free Colorado, there is overwhelming, widespread support to address hunger and fund programs like food stamps, federally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
The poll, conducted by Kupersmit Research, a nonpartisan firm based in Denver, Colo., surveyed 400 registered Colorado voters in late November. Voters of all parties, ages and backgrounds from across the state participated in the telephone survey.
"This new poll shows voters do care about hunger, and that it's a nonpartisan issue despite current rhetoric," said Kathy Underhill, executive director for Hunger Free Colorado, the state's leading anti-hunger, nonprofit advocacy organization. "It's a myth that there isn't widespread support to eradicate hunger, particularly through federal programs like food stamps, which serves as an economic bridge for those struggling to get by on a minimum-wage job or trying to get back on their feet due to a job loss, health issue or simply bad luck."
Among the key findings:
Hunger is an important issue in Colorado, and more should be done by the government.
- Seven in 10 (70%) voters representing all parties feel that hunger is a very important issue, relative to all of the problems faced in Colorado.
- 55% would be more likely to vote for a candidate who makes hunger a top priority and favors programs that ensure no Coloradan goes hungry.
- Nearly six in 10 (57%) voters feel that the government is doing too little on the issue of hunger.
A majority of Colorado voters strongly oppose cuts to food stamps and support anti-hunger programs.
- Cutting food stamps is unpopular, with six in 10 (61%) voters in opposition.
- Majorities across the board (65%) oppose the federal government cutting programs that address hunger, in order to balance the budget, with 50% strongly against such measures.
View more poll findings, including a breakdown of these key findings by party affiliation.
"This poll reinforces the need to protect and strengthen vital programs that provide Coloradans—from children to seniors—with access to nutritious food; the fuel to build better lives and stronger communities," stated Underhill. "Our state and nation should make hunger a priority because the resources and sustainable solutions exist to ensure no one goes hungry."

Former President Bill Clinton to attend Michigan fundraiser
Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to attend a Democratic fundraiser in southeast Michigan this week.
According to U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow campaign spokesman Cullen Schwarz, Clinton will be in Royal Oak on Friday afternoon.
Schwarz says the private fundraiser is designed to "support get-out-the-vote and voter protection efforts across the state."
Stabenow is running for a third Senate term. The Lansing Democrat faces Republican Pete Hoekstra of Holland in next month's general election.

As the decades passJanuary 09,2013In the new movie This is 40, the writer and director Judd Apatow casts the arrival of lifes four-decade mark as a uniquely brutal crossroads, flagged by sputtering libido, suffocating commitments and curdled dreams.
Judd, buddy, add another eight years, then talk to me. Your body will be even wobblier, your obligations weightier, and time running out more ruthlessly on the gaudiest of your plans. This is 48: In the mail last week, I got a solicitation from AARP. It included a membership card, ready to be activated just as soon as I send in dues, which wont be anytime soon. And while that premature come-on reflects the groups relentlessness more than anything else, its an accurate reminder that Im closer to when Ill quit working than to when I started, my hopes and my hair so fluffy and intact.
That was in my 20s, a period with travails all its own, depicted in another project that Apatow is involved in, as an executive producer. I speak of Girls, whose post-college, pre-mortgage heroines flail professionally, fumble romantically and make deeply puzzling wardrobe choices, their outfits emblems of their befuddlement.
The half-hour comedy-drama will begin its second season this coming weekend, and HBO made the first few episodes available to us media types, who have proved that we simply cant stop gnawing on it. Girls is to cultural arbiters what rawhides are to cocker spaniels.
The new episodes immediately reintroduce Lena Dunhams naked body, which was introduced aplenty in the old episodes. At this fleshy point I could draw it, I could paint it, I could probably reproduce it in clay. Dunhams character, Hannah, has a new roommate, gay, and a new playmate, Republican. Theres considerable friction, out of bed as well as in.
And theres a portrait of the period between 20 and 30 as one of peerlessly keen neediness and doubt. You yearn to believe that youve figured out the dating game, not yet realizing that its eternally unfathomable. You ache for an assurance that youre pointed in a purposeful direction, but suspect that youre going nowhere fast. Your desire to project confidence is inversely proportional to your store of it, and you have some really, really bad furniture. I recall, from my mid-20s, a lacquered black table with fake gold accents that cost me next to nothing except, for many years afterward, an undying, unspeakable shame.
Were a self-absorbed species, and one wrinkle of our self-absorption is our tendency, reflected in our art and entertainment, to believe that theres no passage of human existence as fraught with perils and as peculiarly significant as the one we just so happen to be going through. Dunham is 26, and Girls, which she created, is predicated on the notion that the 20s herald an inimitable sequence of humiliations and unrivaled state of ambivalence. Apatow is 45, and his new movie maintains that to enter your 40s is to encounter an especially messy set of questions about the road taken and the unsmooth pavement ahead. Could any other age compare?
Well, the 30s are no picnic, as we learned in the television drama thirtysomething, whose four-season run began in 1987, when its sires, Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, turned 35. The characters they hatched were roughly their age peers, and turned soul searching into an exercise so vigorous it practically burned calories. Angst overwhelmed them as surely as hormones capsize teenagers.
Speaking of teens, they support whole submarkets of publishing and series of movies dedicated to reassuring them that their pimply predicament is by far the worst: cliques, virginity, trigonometry. But Im clinging to the conviction that the late 40s are tougher just try to find a 17-year-old whose left shoulder creaks like mine, and who suddenly has to pitch in thousands toward his apartment buildings new elevators so that I can congratulate myself for every day I successfully muddle through, every smile I courageously summon.
Then again, this passage isnt really so insufferable. By 48 youve come to know, and quite possibly accept, the well-intentioned wretch that you are, and you most likely have the furniture situation worked out.
The 20s, too, have their perks. You get the freedom of full-fledged adulthood but can make big mistakes without paying huge prices, because there are still so many opportunities ahead for amends.
Dunham isnt blind to this. In Girls she finds the exhilaration amid the mortification. And Apatows new movie ultimately understands that being weighed down is just a pessimists way of looking at and talking about being grounded, which so many of us struggle to achieve. What feel like tethers one day feel like roots the next.
This is 25 and 35 and 40 and, Ill wager, 50: a matchless kind of awful, a particular stripe of wonderful and just another phase in a struggle that, like our narcissism, is ageless.

Council and board members would be wise to put off this decision and seek more public input-- even if it means missing a deadline that could make the change effective this year.
There is no reason to rush into this, but there are plenty of potential unintended consequences that might be avoided if the proposal had a fuller airing.
It may seem unusual that the idea to move Fairfield election dates would come from Solano County Supervisors John Vasquez and Jim Spering, but perhaps their oversight of the county Elections Department puts them in a position to see potential financial savings for taxpayers.
There are fixed costs involved in running an election, and the more agencies that can share in them, the less it costs each one individually. Also, the cost-per-ballot also is lower when more voters turn out.
There is no question that voters show up at the polls in droves for even-year presidential and state elections, while many sit out the odd-year local elections. That's especially true of younger voters, whose participation rates Supervisor Vasquez is particularly interested in boosting.
The idea of bringing elections to voters, rather than trying to get voters to show up for elections, is a worthy goal.
But there are downsides to consolidation, too. The size of the ballot is a big one.
Since each jurisdiction has its own boundaries, how many more ballot configurations would the Registrar of Voters have to create?
And if the two Fairfield agencies changed schedules, how would it affect overall costs of odd-year elections still being held by other Solano cities and school districts?
A thorough discussion about voting cycles is worth having, but it should be done on a countywide basis -- and with plenty of input from voters themselves.

This time around I broke out the Nikon D4s with four different lenses to make sure I gave myself plenty of different angles and looks. I used the Nikon 14-24 2.8, Nikon 24-70 2.8, Nikon 70-200 2.8 VRII and the Nikon 200-400 F4 VRII that I borrowed from BorrowedLenses.com.
I know some people like to keep one lens on their camera for an entire shoot and others worry about dust in the camera when they change lenses in the field. I am actually curious how many times I switched lenses during this shoot if anyone cares to count.
5 Min Portrait How To Become A Better Photographer: Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone
One of the most important ways to become a better photographer is to step outside of your comfort zone. Now this is much easier said then done but it is something I am personally working on.
The type of photos I capture generally revolve around candid images. In this case I set up a continuos light studio inside my loft to take portraits of my model. This is the furthest thing away from candid and totally out of my every day comfort zone.
CLICK HERE to see all of the full res images from this photo shoot.
As scary as it may seem to veer out of your normal zone it's something every photographer should be doing. Sure you may be good at one thing or another but the only way to get better is to experiment. You are shooting digital, you have no film to waste, processing to have done or prints to make. You can simply get out there, shoot, review and shoot some more. That is the leg up you have today over 20 years ago.
When I set up this 5 Min Portrait is Jenna I knew I wanted to do something different than I normally did. I decided I wanted to shoot continuous light portraits using my keno flows. I set them up in a simple pattern which is very similar to what Peter Hurley does for his head-shots.
One thing you have to keep in mind is you can have the exact same lighting set up as Peter or I, the same camera and settings and not get the same results. I wont get the same results as Peter because I don't talk to the subject the same way he does as well as seeing the world different. This doesn't mean I wont capture something that is still amazing. You have to remember that we all see the world different, we interact different and pull out different emotions from our subjects. There is no right or wrong way to do this, just some people do it better than others.
My goal with this shoot was to capture a nice little cross section of images of Jenna. Jenna is not a professional model but has posed for a few photographers in the past. I think she is great in front of the camera and takes direction very well.
With any photo shoot I like to come out with three to five solid keepers regardless of how many images I take or don't take. Generally speaking you wont get to see the non keepers from most photographers but I chose to share every shot from this 5 Min Portrait. I do that so you can see not just the best shots but the ones that just missed or were so far off base that I never should have let them see the light of day.
This is all about learning and becoming a better photographer, the only way you get better is to step outside of your comfort zone and practice. There is not shame in not getting the best results when you are trying something new. The only shame is if you don't try.
With this 5 Min Portrait I only filmed the first part of the shoot. After the initial head-shots were captured I changed up the lights and the scene to allow me to try some other scenarios before finally doing some natural light portraits around the loft. You can see those images in the editing video below.
Editing the 5 Min Portrait
As I have been doing more often after photo shoots like this, I am going to share with you the editing process I went through to get the final images. It is important to remember that this is my style for editing and not everyone will like what I come up with. It's very important to formulate your style not only in the images you capture but in the way you process them. With that said, there is a lot of information you can take out of this section so please enjoy.
I also share with you images that I captured after the camera stopped rolling. We kept shooting for another hour or two, trying different lighting setups and poses. One thing I learned from this shoot is that I am not very good with directing the model when it comes to posing. This is something I am not terribly to used to doing. When I am shooting candids I let the model to what they do and capture it. In this setting, I have to tell the model what I am looking for in order to bring that out of them.
On the other hand when you work with a professional model they tend to know how to flow andmove which makes for less work giving direction. That is in no way a knock at Jenna as she did a fantastic job in front of the camera.

5 Min Portrait: YouTube Thumbnail Photo Shoot
I am back with another 5 Minute Portrait and this time around my goal was to capture a YouTube Thumbnail for a fitness video with Maria.
Thumbnails on YouTube are very important and can be the difference between getting people to watch your video or not. But a lot of people tend to try and cheat their thumbnail by selecting it to be something that has nothing to do with the video itself.
In this case my goal was to capture a killer thumbnail for an ab workout video with Maria. Maria is looking to create A Fitness YouTube Channel so I helped out by filming a few videos for her. Since we already had her video shoot in the can it only made sense to take photos in the same situations for the thumbnail.
The photo shoot went pretty smoothly as you will see from the photos in the video and below. But I ran into a major issue when I attempted to import the files from the CF card to the computer. Somehow the card ended up getting corrupted and could not be read by any computer. I would think this was mostly my fault for putting the card in the card reader and removing it a bunch of times without ever actually exporting the photos. I exported the video before but not the photos. And yes if you are wondering I did eject the card before removing it from the card reader.
I was pretty bummed that I lost the files but I figured I would try and recover them like I have heard many people have done. I first attempted using the Pro recovery software from Sandisk and that was not able to recover anything. I than found a different one online which I purchased and it had success in pulling hundred of files.
It found all of the photos from Maria's photo shoot along with hundreds of other photos going back months. Now it did not find any RAW images but it did find jpegs which is better than nothing. If this was a professional shooting I would not have been totally SOL. Sure the files that it recovered would not be good enough for much more than an 8×10 they were perfectly usable for online use.
Simple Product Photography Tips: 5 Min Portrait
The reason I use the word "simple" in the title of this post is because this is a very basic setup that just about anyone can do.
Product photography does not have to be overwhelming. You don't always need fourteen different lights, reflectors and assistants to capture a product shot. Of course in some situations where it is called for, you may need a more intense setup.
If your goal is to simply get a product shot captured and online to help you showcase a something than the tips in this video will come in handy.
When I am shooting photos of products on my kitchen table I like to use the natural light from outside and sometimes some continuos lights inside. In this case my main light was the daylight with a little bit of fill come from a continuous light that was meant to light me for the video.
My goal was to capture a product shot of the Canon lens that could be used for an article, a sales page or just for practice.
First Person Shooter: Canon 70d Autofocus Test
Autofocus in DSLRs during video recording has come a long way in the last few years. We all know that DSLRs have not caught up to your standard camcorders but that's all about to change.
There are a few different cameras on the market from different manufactures that have taken that leap to giving you almost camcorder like autofocus. Thanks to BorrowLenses and AllensCamera I was able to get my hands on a Canon 70d to do a full review. The full review is still on its way but I wanted to share some findings from my first video shoot with it.
As you guys know I like to push cameras to their limits when it comes to testing them. Anyone can test a camera in great light and call it fantastic but I like to shoot in poor light and see how the camera really does. So my test was to determine how well the Canon 70d would autofocus in a concert situation.
My friends in the band Silvertide had a show and I made the decision to test the 70d's capabilities. During soundcheck I was messing with the new touch autofocus where you touch the lcd and it focus right there. I noticed a bunch of guitar picks on top of an amp and thought this would showcase how well this cameras autofocus system works.
I set up on my video mono-pod, strapped the GoPro to my forehead so you could watch me touch the screen and hit record. I was amazed as soon as I touched the pick on the far left followed by the one on the far right. Not only was the focus accurate to where I wanted it to be, it transitioned smoothly and quickly. I was not expecting what I saw but I sure was happy with it.
Photographing Baseball 5 Min Portrait and First Person Shooter with the Nikon D7100
When I was out filming the Nikon D7100 REVIEW (which you can find right here) I found myself shooting a baseball game. I used the GoPro Hero 3 to capture the First Person Shooter Perspective and turned it into a 5 Min Portrait for the review.
I know you guys really enjoy these type of videos so I decided to separate it from the review and share it with you.

MACKLEMORE 5 Min Portrait / First Person Shooter with the Canon 1D X and GoPro
I am back with my latest 5 Min Portrait and First Person Shooter Project video all in one. I had the chance to Photograph Macklemore of Thrift Shop fame for his three song set. For this video I decided to let you watch all three songs as captured by the First Person Shooter Camera as well as do a commentary track over the video.
Let me set up the gear I was using first before I break into what it was like to photograph this show. I was using the Canon 1D X with the 70-200 2.8II, 24-70 2.8II (thanks BorrowLenses.com) and the GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition attached to the hot shoe of the Canon.
If you have never photographed a concert this is the closest you can get to being in the pit without being there. As is normal today we had three songs to capture Macklemore who loves to run around the stage. Beyond how fast he moves (which is great by the way) he had sunglasses on which means you do not get that personal feel from seeing his eyes. Later on in his set he did end up taking his glasses off which allowed me to capture some nice images.
5 Min Portrait – Full Portrait Photography Shoot
Welcome to another 5 Min Portrait Video. This time around I just wanted to shoot, I didn't want to turn to the camera to explain what I was doing I just wanted to capture images.
With that said there is so much you can learn from watching me interact with Maria. You get to hear our interactions, you get to see what works and what does not. You have a front row seat to one of my photo shoots.
You will see every image pop up as its taken. You get to see the good with the bad as well as some that are not edited. The reason that some are not edited is they were not keepers to me.
For this photo shoot I used the Nikon D4 with the 300mm F2.8 AFS as well as the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VRII. The camera recording the video is the Nikon D800.

STAUNTON--- Candidates were hard at work rallying to get your vote come local elections in May. A City Council forum was held to discuss youth and sustainability in Staunton.
Our own Carly Stephenson was the moderator for the forum. The eight candidates for City Council were asked questions about the future of young people and sustainability. The goal was reaching out to the community and answering questions they want to know about.
"I think it's extremely important, as a Mary Baldwin student, because everything that goes on in the community directly effects the college that I go to. Unfortunately, I'm graduating in May, so I'm actually leaving the community again, but when I come back, I still want to be able to come back to the community that I loved," says Elizabeth Limbrick, a Mary Baldwin student and coordinator of the event.
Elections will be held May 6, 2014.

Mike Maddux' methods attractive to Cubs
By GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com November 8, 2011 10:51PM
Mike Maddux.
Updated: December 10, 2011 9:57AM
Whether Texas Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux is the next generation of Moneyball, he is at least ready to be part of the next breed of major-league managers, say those who have worked closely with him.
Perhaps of most immediate importance to the Cubs, Maddux is ready to interview for the team's vacancy Wednesday, just two days after withdrawing his name from the Boston Red Sox' process. That could put him in the driver's seat for a job he already seemed to be an early favorite to land.
"He cares about what he's doing, and he cares about the people that he's doing it with,'' said Rangers manager Ron Washington, who has worked with Maddux the last three seasons. "He does a great job of hands-on. He does a good job of directing people and helping them find their way. I think that type of quality is what has separated him from other guys that have done his job as pitching coach.''
Maddux, 50, has built a reputation as one of the top pitching coaches in his nine-season big-league coaching career, with stops in Milwaukee and Texas.
"He's a teacher, and he has the ability of winning people over,'' said Cubs hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo, who coached on the same Rangers staff with Maddux in 2009. "When you can do that, you can be an excellent coach and an excellent manager.''
More than communication skills and a reputation for outside-the-box thinking, Maddux also has gained notoriety for conditioning and maintenance programs that have helped keep his key pitchers healthy.
Cubs president Theo Epstein, general manager Jed Hoyer and others in the game consider pitching injuries the next Moneyball frontier to conquer, the market inefficiency that will create a competitive advantage for any team that systematically reduces an injury rate that has gone largely unchanged for decades.
Maddux, the third candidate to interview with the Cubs, is the only pitching coach among the known candidates, the only one who seems to fit this new-generation mold. Former infielders Pete Mackanin and Dale Sveum have interviewed, and team sources confirmed Cleveland Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr., a former catcher, is scheduled later this week.
"Since I've been with him, he certainly has a program for all his pitchers, both starting pitchers and relievers,'' Washington said of Maddux. "Every day he makes them accountable for making sure they're prepared [to work] and for what may happen that day during the course of the ballgame.
"I haven't seen many guys that decipher things and get prepared as much as Mike does, and the way the Texas Rangers have come along with the pitching staff is a testament to that."
The Rangers' ERA has dropped every season Maddux has been with the team, starting with nearly a full run improvement from the 5.37 ERA of the staff he inherited.
He oversaw the successful conversions from bullpen to rotation of C.J. Wilson in 2010 and Alexi Ogando this past season, and the Rangers' staff got an incredible 157 starts from its primary five starters.
"It's really more old-school," Washington said. "He and [Rangers president] Nolan Ryan believe the more you throw the baseball, the stronger the arm becomes and the more you can control it.''
That means throwing batting practice between spring-training starts and following a strict between-starts throwing program during the season.
Maddux, a journeyman reliever with 15 seasons in the big leagues, also is an expert with pitching mechanics, Jaramillo said, which "has a lot to do with saving pitchers' arms."
