25 Essential DSLR Camera Accessories
Posted by Syed Balkhi on February 29, 2012
Balance Grey Card Set
Although shooting RAW and adjusting your white balance later on is a possibility, what if you want to shoot JPEG? Besides, if you are trying to get everything perfect right from the get go, you need some kind of grey card to check the white balance.
Mini Softbox for Speedlight
Everyone into digital photography knows how much better diffused light can make your photos look. It gives your models a more pleasing look and eliminates harsh shadows. The problems is that a huge softbox can be a pain to always lug around with you. So how about a mini softbox?
Nobody wants to see spots on their photos. If it does start happening though, you want to have ablower laying around. This method of cleaning your camera is highly preferable to anything requiring you to touch the lens.
Light Reflector
In situations where flash is just not going to work, like outdoors on a sunny day or while doing some portraits, having a set of light reflectors can be very beneficial.
Lens Pen
If your blower is still not getting the dust off your lens, don't panic. The lens pen should do the trick. It has two sides, one with a brush to the clean the dust off your lens and the other with a cleaning tip for everything else.
Keyboard Shortcut Skin
For those of you who have trouble remembering all of your Photoshop, Aperture, or Final Cut shortcut commands, these keyboard skins might be exactly what you need to increase productivity.
Pop Up Flash Diffuser
If you don't have a speedlight and you find yourself with pop flash being the only option, be sure to at least have a diffuser with you. It will function essentially the same as a softbox.
Cleaning Cloth
Although we did say it is best to use a so that you don't end up damaging your lens, this microfiber cleaning cloth is made of antistatic fibers that are specially designed to not damage anything.
Neck Strap
Most OEM straps don't feel the greatest when you use them. It's always a good idea to upgrade if you think your camera is going to be hanging from your neck a lot. The Pro Loop strap from Op/Tech is a solid choice as it is made out of neoprene and has non slip fabric on the underside that makes your camera a lot easier to carry.
Veloce Shooting Bag
Not only will the Veloce shooting backpack hold all of your essential camera accessories including the tripod, it has room for a 17″ laptop as well.
Polarizer Filter
This polarizer by B+W will not only decrease reflections off of glass and other shiny objects but it will increase the color saturation of your photos as well.
Whenever you're taking photos in low light or trying to get that razor sharp focus you're going to wish that you had a tripod. This Manfrotto tripod has multiple settings to help you control your shot.
So you have a tripod, but you're still missing something. If you had a ballhead to add to your setup it would ensure that your cameras is attached to your tripod with a nearly infinite level of adjustability.
Audio Adapter
As DSLR cameras get more advanced and have started to integrate HD video, their audio capabilities are laggin behind a bit. For this reason it can be beneficial to have an audio converter on hand that will allow to plug professional mics with XLR connections into your camera.
White Balance Lens Cap
As getting the right white balance on your camera can be somewhat challenging, and using a grey card might not be your favorite thing to do, a white balance lens cap can help you make sure that every picture is the way you want it.

Reinventing Media Careers
As the only girl on the "Reinventing Media Careers" panel which wrapped up Social Media Week in Chicago, I not only felt outnumbered, I also felt like a true "Big Tiny". The guys on the stage with me are big names in the Chicago media scene. But I hope I held my own and didn't misspeak or give off the wrong impressions.
If you're interested, here's the link to the livestream from most of the session. Warning: It's over an hour long and contains some swearing. No, I didn't drop any f-bombs. I knew not to after polling the audience via Twitter. Throughout the session, I was holding a separate discussion with people who were following the #SMWreboot hashtag online.
Here's some of the online discussion from Twitter:
@NancyLoo: I'm the only girl here?!?!, @MikeBaker45s: Steve is here. lol, @hildyjohns: Like high school, huh?
@NancyLoo: Do u all think journalists use social media effectively?, @headlineclub: Some do, @PencilThisIn: No but if they used it too well, they might tweet there (sic) career field out of existence. @ladydrogo: no. I don't think many of them have even begun to scrape the surface of what this kind of platform can do for them. @shmaraksmpr: No way, Jose.
@NancyLoo: Is this panel what u expected?, @MattRowen More swearing than I expected. I expected it from Stever but not from Roeper. :D @shmarakspr: Everything and more--plus the f-bombs!
@NancyLoo: Anyone counting the f-bombs?, @mshellymishaps There must have been at least 5 already from @SteveDahlShow alone, @shmaraksmpr: I gave up on Steve's rant. @ladydrogo: I think we're up in the double digits, @jcajindos yeah f-bomb count is at 53 now... but hey it's friday!
@NancyLoo: How many of u listen to podcasts?, @dianabrodeurWGN: Almost never, @MikeBaker45s: no podcast, @JoseAVillalobos I listen to one podcast called Webcomics Weekly.
@NancyLoo: Dang, should I swear too?, @heyitsjayy: sure, why not swear too? Pretty sure that's half the reason why #smwreboot is trending on here right now! @DoIt4u2: No, stay professional. I'm watching the live feed. The a$&h$@# word shocked me, Wow! Throwing bombs around! @EJVerde: Don't @#%$&% do it! @smk6086: Sure, just drop an f-bomb, why not. @trujilloea You're f'ing better than that. @djshellymishaps no! @RobertFeder censored himself. @RichardRoeper forgot his manners. @klassybreeze keep it classy bigtiny!
@NancyLoo: What do u think of people who have others tweet for them? @watchmannee_fan its like paying someone to take the S.A.T's. @MattEnglum seems insincere @delwilliams As an individual it seems silly, particularly with all the auto tools. as biz, makes sense. @HeyMrBass It's deceptive! But I guess if you're a busy person or you've got a bad filter, then you're better off. @JoseAVillalobos That should not be allowed. That's like plagiarism.Copyright © 2014, Chicago Tribune

Purple flowering shrubs are one of the most popular shrub categories. This popularity is obvious since purple colors are eye-catching and often bring on a second glance. There are many shades of purple, so therefore, a wide range of shrubs. The shrubs most used in landscapes include Butterfly Bushes (Buddleia), Lilacs (Syringa), Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus sgriacus), and Russian Sage (Perouskia). It may be a bit of an overstatement, but a shade of purple from these species should satisfy anyones taste for the color purple!
Selection from these aforementioned plants are available in many heights, foliage colors, and spreads. It is relatively easy to meet a specific landscape requirement with a purple flowering shrub. These shrubs are all deciduous and perennial bloomers. There are often minute differences of shades in purple flowers. The discussion of these differences, such as shades of purples, lavenders, and some blues, is in the eye of the beholder, and not written in stone!

The post below about desserts got me thinking, how many people make their kids clean their plates at meals? The comment about getting dessert if they finished dinner just got me thinking and wondering. Eating until your plate is clean vs eating until you are full is a huge issue with being obese (along with what you are eating but that is a whole different issue).
My dh grew up with a mother who was the same way and still is with my children. She was constantly force feeding ds when he was a baby. He has always been small and it bothers her. Dh "can't" leave things on his plate. It took a lot for to be okay with having leftovers when I cooked. He is will stop eating when he is full now, but I have to remind him and he is working on his portion sizes. He has been trying to lose weight for years.
I do not make my kids clean their plate. They have to try at least one bite of something before they say that they don't like it. They also do not get a "treat" or dessert unless they have had something healthy. I try to teach them that it is okay to have treats sometimes but our body needs healthy food more so that it will grow and be strong.
MamiWami:I grew up in a household where we were told to finish our plates (because of people who didnt have enough to eat, etc). My brothers and i have never had an issue with overreating or obesity as children or as adults. As long as you are serving healthy portions, finishing your plate shouldn't be an issue.
I do agree on the whole healthy portion part of what you said but walk into just about any restaurant these days and you will not be given a healthy portion, portion sizes are huge at a lot of places. Dinner plates have gotten bigger over the years. I'm not saying that everyone that cleans their plates at every meal is going to be obese but telling someone to always clean their plate can lead to issues. Kids are born knowing to stop when they are full but it goes away due to how we are taught.
The nest just ate my reply. argh!
I do a combo - I portion their meals to what they typically would eat. Our general rule is to try 3 bites. Ben clears his plate about 95% of the time, though. If he's at least tried the 3 bites, he can pick something good for him....fruit/yogurt/applesauce/bread to fill him up. Nat generally will eat what is served, but she's world's slowest eater. I also fall into ruts of fixing only things that I know they both like....H works during lunch/dinner times, so we only consider his likes/dislikes on the weekends, and it's just as easy for me to eat salad/wraps during the week.
j*w*:I think it's really relative. I portion my kids' meals to what I know they are capable of eating, at a minimum. DS is a much lighter eater than DD, so his serving sizes reflect that. He is really good about asking for more of something. So, if he asks for more of something, but leaves a little bit of something else, it's still a success to me. DD is the queen of 'I'm still hungry, I'm still hungry.' I typically start her off with a bigger portion, knowing what she is capable of finishing. So, for her, we do tend more toward a clean plate because otherwise she does the 'I'm still hungry' for the rest of the night. Do we force feed them? No, absolutely not. Do we encourage them to eat a good meal? Yes. Am I going to reward them for leaving half their dinner on their plate? Probably not. Because if they're not hungry enough to eat a good bit of dinner, they do not need dessert (ie, more food).
I agree with this. I grew up where I had to clean my plate and I couldn't drink my juice or whatever until I had finished eating. The idea was that I would get full from the beverage and not the food. To this day I don't drink until I finish eating. I'm not sure how I feel about that although as I am typing this I find that I'm doing the same thing to DD about the drinks. I still can't tell about her portions since she is so young and I don't force feed her. Once she turns or tries to the plate over then I know she's done.
Dessert is very rare at home, or even at another home or out to eat. They are encouraged to eat until full, but on the rare occasion we are eating dessert, I'd rather they stop early enough that they save room for the treat, so they don't overeat. Again, it's so rare that I don't really care if they replace a few bites of their meal with dessert. I do the same thing for myself.
I never force them to finish a meal. I do require that they try everything, unless it's something they've given an honest chance in the past and just don't like it (this doesn't happen too often). Them finishing their food doesn't help the child in Africa who doesn't have enough food for their tummies. We all serve ourselves, and they are encouraged to only put a small amount on their plate at first. They can always get seconds.

stuck with ntop (CentOS 5.3)
I am trying to use ntop and install it as per these howto:
(also rrdtools):
(installed and tested as per instructions)
in the a.m. howto it was not possible to use ntop at all, due to this error:
autogen.sh --with-rrd-home=/usr/local/rrdtool
[.. lots of information ..]
configure: error: Unable to find RRD at /usr/local/rrdtool: please use --with-rrd-home=DIR
error; note that even with the proper "DIR" information it returns such error AND stops.
then I installed ntop with yum - all runs smoothly and ntop runs (apparently) normal here EXCEPT that, when asking for any graphic (network load, traffic) it doesnot show any graph, just this message:
"NOTE: this page is not operational when the RRD plugin is disabled, misconfigured or missing."
BUT.. these (and some others) are already enabled.
So, I am stuck: HOW can I got those nice graphics? think that it is closely related with those "Unable to find RRD at /usr/local/rrdtool", but I have nor error messages nor log's pointing me to the right direction.
Any hint, pls?

Hospice of North Idaho's Community Palliative Care Program
Hospice of North Idaho's Community Palliative Care Program provides comfort care to any person with a limited prognosis and has a need for supportive care. The main purpose of the program is to improve the patient's quality of life at the end of life. The program will serve any person with an advanced illness with a limited prognosis who is not receiving hospice care. Patients in this program may still be receiving curative treatment.
How will the Community Palliative Care Program benefit me and my Family?
The Community Palliative Care Program helps patients and those who care for them by:
- Counseling patients and families when making medical decisions becomes difficult
- Working with a patient's primary care physician to reduce or control pain and debilitating symptoms
- Coordination of support services as goals and needs change
Services to be provided
Professional assistance with addressing the multidimensional needs of a patient and family including the following:
- Hospice of North Idaho nurse practitioner or physician will provide disease education and assist with the identification of priorities/goals and advance care planning. In addition, our clinicians will be available to a patient's primary care physician to provide assistance with complex pain and symptom management
- Hospice of North Idaho medical social worker will be available to assess the patient and family's psycho-social needs. The social worker will be available to assist with the coordination of community support services when needed
- Hospice of North Idaho will provide follow-up to help reduce the number of crisis situations that may arise as a patient's terminal illness progresses
For more Information
You may call Hospice of North Idaho at (208) 772-7994 for more information or contact your primary care physician. Outpatient consultations can take place almost anywhere including long-term care facilities or your home.
Questions and Answers
Does outpatient palliative care replace the services of the attending physician?
No. Palliative medicine complements the attending physician's care when comfort, counseling and quality of life become increasingly important and more challenging to coordinate.
Who pays for palliative care services?
Outpatient palliative care consults are covered by Medicare and most private insurance. A sliding fee schedule will be used for patients without insurance
Why is there a need for outpatient palliative care services?
There are significant barriers to the utilization of palliative care via hospice. Barriers include the following:
- The Hospice Medicare benefit encourages the discontinuation of disease modifying therapies without exception
- An increase in the number of treatment options available that can make it more difficult to make prognosis of a person having a life expectancy of 6 months or less
- There is a difficulty in aligning goals for care when the patient desires to include multiple family members in the decision making process
- Patients are reluctant to accept hospice as they may need to let go of their optimistic goals and expectations of disease modifying treatments
Outpatient palliative care's less stringent admission criteria has been shown to be more widely accepted by patient and family members.
Does outpatient palliative care replace Hospice care?
No. The program's palliative care services will not be as comprehensive as Hospice of North Idaho's hospice program. Outpatient palliative care services are used earlier in the disease process when needs are less intense and/or when a patient has high expectations about prognosis and the benefit of disease modifying therapies. Hospice care is offered as an option when appropriate.

First Listen
Gappy Ranks "Stinkin' Rich (Thornato Remix)"
- Words: Christian Santana
Gappy Ranks' debut single "Stinkin Rich" may have dropped back in 2009, but three years later, NYC DJ/producer Thornato (pictured above) has stepped forward to give the dancehall cut some new flavor. Thornato's already made a name for himself as a proficient mix maestro, both solo and as part of NYC's purveyors of Latin, Caribbean, and booty bass sounds, Cumba Mela. Here, the producer does away with the original track's slow riddim, throwing in a bleeping-and-blooping reggaeton backbeat beneath Gappy Ranks' drawling Patois.

This non-invasive test measures cholesterol in the
skin tissues to assess risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart disease.
The PREVU* Skin Cholesterol Test non-invasively, painlessly and rapidly measures skin cholesterol. As a new risk factor
for heart disease, skin cholesterol provides valuable additional information to traditional CAD risk assessment. Skin contains
over 11% of the body�s cholesterol and ages in parallel with vascular connective tissue. As arterial walls accumulate cholesterol,
so do the skin tissues. A high skin cholesterol level is a reliable predictor of higher cholesterol accumulation in the arteries and,
accordingly, can be used in combination with other risk factors to assess risk of coronary artery disease.The product has
previously received FDA clearance for sale in the United States and additional regulatory approvals in Canada and Europe.
PREVU* has been successfully test marketed on a limited basis in North America.
PREVU* Point of Care (POC) Skin Cholesterol Test is a non-invasive, painless and cost-effective tool to measure skin cholesterol that does not require any patient preparation or interruption to diet (i.e. fasting).
This simple test is conducted by placing a drop of digitonin, which binds selectively to the cholesterol in the skin, on the palm of the hand. This liquid also contains an enzyme (horseradish peroxidase) linked to the digitonin by a copolymer. After a one-minute incubation period, the area is blotted dry to remove any unbound digitonin solution. A second drop of liquid is then added, containing a substrate for the horseradish peroxidase enzyme. When combined, a blue color change occurs in direct proportion to the amount of digitonin that is bound to skin cholesterol. After two minutes, a hand-held spectrophotometer (color reader) is placed over the drop to measure the precise blue color, which indicates the skin cholesterol value.
In addition to the POC format of the test, the PREVU* technology is also being developed by Miraculins as the PREVU* LP Skin Cholesterol Test, a lab-processed format featuring a proprietary collection device. The LP format has previously been cleared for sale in Canada and Europe.
In Canada and Europe, PREVU* POC and PREVU* LP have previously been cleared for use as part of risk assessment for CAD.
In the U.S., PREVU* POC has been previously cleared for use as part of risk assessment for CAD in persons with a history of heart attack and/or in persons suspected of having clinically significant coronary artery disease (>50% stenosis, or blockage, in more than one vessel, as diagnosed by angiography). Skin cholesterol test results, when considered in conjunction with clinical evaluation, blood cholesterol and other risk factors identified for coronary artery disease, will aid the physician in focusing diagnostic and patient management options.
PREVU* POC is CLIA-exempt.
PREVU* has been successfully test marketed on a limited basis in North America prior to Miraculins acquisition of the technology.
As Miraculins works toward product re-launch, the Company is actively seeking marketing and distribution partners to make the PREVU* products available to patients and health care professionals worldwide. Opportunities include marketing and distributing the skin test into the healthcare community, including physician offices, hospitals, retail chains, corporate risk assessment services and other institutions and promoting PREVU* products to the life-insurance industry and other future applications of the technology under the PREVU* brand including direct to the consumer marketing.

Does Bangladesh's Garment Industry Respect its Workers?
By Nisha Kumar Kulkarni
Last month's garment factory collapse in Savar, outside of Dhaka, is being coined as the worst industrial disaster in Bangladesh's history.
Though the police ordered the Rana Plaza building to be evacuated on April 23rd due to a visible fracture in its infrastructure, five garment factories housed within, employing a total of 3,122 workers, continued "business as usual" on April 24th.
The consequences of this decision are heartbreaking: though approximately 2,500 people were rescued from the building's rubble, a fire broke out in the ruins just days after the collapse, and the death toll to date has crossed 900 people.
Unfortunately, this devastating collapse follows on the heels of other disasters that have plagued Bangladesh's garment industry. In November 2012, a garment factory fire killed 117 people, also near Dhaka. Factory workers were reportedly jumping out of windows to reach safety.
The repeated incidences of factory workers very literally being in the line of fire has reignited discussion and debate in Bangladesh, and the world, on how to better support and safeguard the rights of workers.
Dr. Mustafa Mujeri, director general of the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS), explains, "Workers' rights are not high on the policy agenda. This is true in general, but more so in the garments sector. The basic rights of garment workers are neglected, especially related to workers' safety, which has led to many tragic incidents."
That is not really news, given that the garment industry is where cheap labor fuels cheap products. And the garment industry's importance to Bangladesh's economy is undeniable: in 2005, at least 75% of the country's earnings from exports came from the garment industry.
This is obviously a huge feat, but it also increases the pressure to meet international demand for retailers, including H&M, Gap Inc. and Walmart, who rely on the country's relatively inexpensive garment factories. From the factory perspective, the easiest way to keep costs low is by taking shortcuts when it comes to sound infrastructure and, of course, hiring cheap labor.
For this reason, there is escalating public discourse on the responsibility of companies manufacturing in foreign countries and on "fair-trade" working conditions.
So who are these garment workers?
They are rural migrants, often young women between the ages 16 and 25, who have moved closer to urban centers for stronger economic opportunities. They may move with their families or on their own, charged with sending remittances back to the village. Young women with limited formal education have few options in the big city: they are typically employed as domestic help, the maids and cooks of middle- and upper-class households, or they can find work in factories, where the wage is relatively higher. It has also been reported that Bangladesh's garment industry is one of the largest employers of child labor.
The national minimum monthly wage in Bangladesh is ~US$38 – that is just a smidgen over US$1.25 per day, and officially, a garment worker may take home about that much with each paycheck. However, the actual earned income of a garment worker is likely variable, and in many cases, unknown.
It is clear, then, why garment workers are not fully empowered citizens: if the majority are women and children, they hold little sway over their employers – factory owners and foreign conglomerates. Working-class men encounter the same challenge.
Their lack of economic and political bargaining powers makes them easy to ignore and exploit.
Mujeri says Rana Plaza collapsed for several reasons. But the most critical one is failure to implement safety standards by factory owners, the government, fashion companies and other actors in the garment industry.
"The government's lack of seriousness along with owners' greed [are] responsible. [The] garment owners lobby is very powerful," he notes.
Sajid Iqbal, a social entrepreneur and founder of CHANGE, an affordable lighting project in slum communities, agrees, "[The] government should be less dependent on [the] BGMEA [Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association], and [the] BGMEA should be more accountable to the government."
Given these conditions, what can be done?
There are grassroots efforts to educate poor labor communities and provide them with goods and services that may otherwise be out of their reach. But in terms of a more large-scale effort to address workers' safety, not only in the garment industry but also in Bangladesh's brick, shipbreaking, housing and waste management industries — amongst others — there is clearly room to make impact.
The not-for-profit sphere has been making its mark on Bangladeshi workers' rights for nearly 20 years.
- The Awaj Foundation implements education, health and legal initiatives for Bangladeshi garment workers.
- Verité has been working with international corporations to guarantee safe conditions for workers in countries like Bangladesh.
- And INCLUDED is taking a more holistic approach by focusing on inclusive cities and empowering migrant communities around the world, including Bangladesh.
Organizations such as these are doing valuable work, but would a model of for-profit social entrepreneurship further impact Bangladeshi workers' rights in a meaningful way?
There are successful examples of such models' efficacy in the garment industry around the world – just look at the Indian chain of retail stores, FabIndia and the socially-consciousness business of rug-making, Jaipur Rugs. Another example in South Asia includes Nepali fair-trade enterprise Mahaguthi, which produces, markets and exports handicrafts by more than 1,000 producers from the Kathmandu Valley.
But first, for such an enterprise to start in Bangladesh, the challenges and needs of workers need to be better understood. Gilbert Houngbo, deputy director general for field operations and partnerships at the International Labor Organization (ILO), states, "If workers are not able to make their voices heard, and organize themselves and speak collectively, then it will be much harder to understand the real problems and make the changes necessary."

Bookanistas: POSSESSION
POSSESSION by Elana Johnson
This is a book I've been looking forward to for a long time.
Read the summary below and I think you'll understand why:
Vi knows the Rule: Girls don't walk with boys, and they never even think about kissing them. But no one makes Vi want to break the Rules more than Zenn...and since the Thinkers have chosen him as Vi's future match, how much trouble can one kiss cause? The Thinkers may have brainwashed the rest of the population, but Vi is determined to think for herself.
But the Thinkers are unusually persuasive, and they're set on convincing Vi to become one of them...starting by brainwashing Zenn. Vi can't leave Zenn in the Thinkers' hands, but she's wary of joining the rebellion, especially since that means teaming up with Jag. Jag is egotistical, charismatic, and dangerous--everything Zenn's not. Vi can't quite trust Jag and can't quite resist him, but she also can't give up on Zenn.
This is a game of control or be controlled. And Vi has no choice but to play.
This book.
Is awesome.
Control or be controlled. I love that. And that, in essence, is the undertone of POSSESSION. In more ways than one.
A lot of times there is something very specific that I adore about a book that makes me shout about it from the hilltops (or, um, the blog). But this specific thing that I love so much is something I cannot share. Not even a little. You should probably read it so we can freak out about it together.
So, there's this other huge aspect that I loved, but, ugh, I can't talk about that either. So I guess what I'm saying is this: I didn't suspect anything about this book. It surprised me over and over and over again. And I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
So I'm going to talk about the one thing I can talk about without giving anything away, and that is the world in POSSESSION. There are the Goodies, who live in the Goodgrounds, and the Baddies, who live in the Badlands. There are people who toe the line, hook up to their feeds, and allow people to think for them. And there are the people who don't. And then there are the Thinkers, who provide the thoughts to the Goodies. Everyone wants Vi on their side. And they want her badly.
The question is: why?
I loved the world of POSSESSION. And I also loved the story, even though I can't really talk about it. But underneath it all, it's really just a story about a girl trying to make the right choice for her. But it sure doesn't help that the people she loves are on opposite sides of the line....
Okay, seriously, I'm biting my tongue! That's all I can say!

Cold air, mid-latitude westerly winds and wind shear are taking a toll on Tropical Storm Francisco and transitioning the storm into a cold core low pressure area. NASA's Terra satellite captured an image of Francisco as it spread a blanket of clouds and showers over Japan on Oct. 25.
The MODIS instrument or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer captured an image of Tropical Storm Francisco spreading clouds over the big island of Japan on Oct. 25 at 01:45 UTC. The image shows a large area of clouds from Francisco's northern quadrant streaming over the entire big island and into the South China Sea. In the image, the western side of Typhoon Lekima was visible. Lekima is located east of Francisco.
On Oct. 25 at 1500 UTC/11 a.m. EDT, Tropical Storm Francisco had maximum sustained winds near 45 knots/51.7 mph/83.3 kph. Francisco was centered near 30.4 north and 136.1 east, about 416 nautical miles southwest of Yokosuka, Japan. Francisco was moving to the east-northeast at 17 knots/19.5 mph/31.4 kph.
Francisco is now embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies [winds] and is being pushed to the northeast. Satellite imagery shows that the most convection is occurring over the northwest and that cold air has been affecting the system with the presence of stratocumulus clouds in that quadrant.
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center is expecting Francisco to continue transitioning to an extra-tropical storm and cold-core low pressure area, while moving in a northeasterly direction over the next couple of days. Francisco's center is expected to remain east of the big Island of Japan.

I have been getting SW alerts for the past 2 months, all is fine and good. But they continue to say my score is 687 and has not changed. I have let a credit card report with a maxed balance, no change in score.
I just had Directloans report my loans as closed/sold - no change.
I have a new account and new inquiry - no change.
Could this be right???
YES, my score is set to 687.
Thanks in advance.
All 3 examples would trigger a new score. If the score is the same, then it really hasn't moved. Sounds like something is weighing it down. BTW, DW went months without any net score changes.

BUENOS AIRES -- Chevron is optimistic it will move into a second phase of investment to develop Argentina' s massive shale oil and gas deposits in tandem YPF.
If we get the right legislative support and support from the people, we' re going to get to phase two sooner than expected, said Ali Moshiri, president of Chevron' s Africa-Latin America Exploration and Production, at a press conference to explain its contract with YPF.
As part of the deal, Chevron will initially invest $1.24 billion in a pilot project to develop shale deposits in the famed Vaca Muerta, or "dead cow," formation in the arid Patagonian province of Neuquen.
The first phase of the agreement includes plans to drill more than 100 wells through 2014; a second program would entail drilling 1,500 wells in hopes to raising production to 50,000 barrels of oil and 3 MMcmd of natural gas a day.
The deal involves splitting investment costs and profits, with YPF retaining operating control, YPF CEO Miguel Galuccio said.
The companies are expected to wrap up the first phase of investment in 10 to 12 months, according to YPF.
The deal gives Chevron a foothold in a region that one day could be a major source of unconventional oil and gas.
Argentina ranks second in the world, behind China, in potentially recoverable shale-gas reserves, with 802 Tcf, according to a June study by the United States Energy Information Administration. Argentina also ranks fourth in shale oil with an estimated 27 Bbbl.
Argentina recently announced a package of incentives to lure oil and gas investors.
Companies investing at least $1 billion will eventually be allowed to sell 20% of their production abroad without paying export taxes. They will also be able to keep related profits.
However, many companies have faced political and legal instability in Argentina, in addition to frequent changes to laws and regulations which have spooked investment.
President Cristina Kirchner expropriated a 51% stake in YPF from Spain' s Repsol just over a year ago in a dispute over investment and declining production.
Our business is to go where the resources are and Chevron has balanced the risks against the potential resources, Mr. Moshiri said. "We' re already in Argentina and we want to grow here."

|Land that I wish to purchase is priced at $70,000-which is about $30,000 more than the property tax value (and it is not worth $70K-all the other lots in the neighborhood sold for between $40-50K).This land is about 7 acres, with the majority being hilly-not a good building lot. It abuts my lot, which is why I would like to own it (for a buffer).
The sellers are firm on their price-I asked them. How can I let the sellers know that I would definitely buy it for $50K, but not their $70K? I am sure it would not sell for $70K-they say they may build someday.
Follow-Up Postings:
|" about $30,000 more than the property tax value "
Tax valuation rarely matches market value.
"ll the other lots in the neighborhood sold for between $40-50K"
|How can I let the sellers know that I would definitely buy it for $50K, but not their $70K?
You could tell them verbally, you could write a letter and send to them, or you could send them a contract offering that amount.
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Sat, Oct 27, 12 at 23:14
|Send them a written offer and a few comps.
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Sun, Oct 28, 12 at 8:24
|What NC said. Put it on paper with the evidence that your offer is logical. When I'm selling stuff and people ask me what my bottom dollar is I politely say "I'm asking X." There's no point in negotiating with yourself by dropping your price before they've offered something. So that might be what they're thinking.
Though on a house or land, my response is "make me an offer and I'll consider it." If they ask "is X included" I say "you can put anything in an offer."
So put something in writing in front of them. That shows you're serious and may budge them off their price point.

Ethel M® Chocolates' breathtaking Botanical Cactus Garden is Nevada's largest and one of the world's largest collections of its kind. Based on the English landscape model of naturalistic design, the Ethel M® Botanical Cactus Garden features four acres of drought-tolerant ornamentals, cacti, and other succulents.
With a landscape base of 15,000 cubic yards of sandy fill and a special planting soil, the beds were raised and rookeries constructed using 400 tons of rock, thereby providing the best possible viewing experience for visitors.
Over 300 species of plants can be found on the grounds. Half are cacti and succulents largely native to the American Southwest, and the rest are desert trees and shrubs from the Southwestern United States, Australia, and South America. All of these plants were chosen both for the beauty of their floral displays and their ability to adapt to the climate of Southern Nevada. The types of rock used are Utah Bali Hai chocolate and Arizona moss rock (from the Grand Canyon region). Here is sampling of the types of plants that you will see visiting our Cactus Garden

Several of my peers have opted not to write about the allegations of sexual assault against former Vice President and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore. Some of them feel they don't have enough facts. It's true, we don't know have all the facts but there are some things that those who are writing about the story need to better understand.
Salon posted a troubling piece yesterday with the headline, "3 reasons to doubt the Al Gore sex assault story." Reason number three is the classic "other-people-have lied-about rape before." The fact of the matter is: people sometimes lie about attempted robbery and murder too but those stories and statistics are not used to cast doubt on accusers of those crimes. Yet statistics about false rape allegations are not only raised when someone is accused, they are often held up as evidence that the accuser is lying. Those of us with roots in Boston remember Charles Stuart who in 1989 lied about someone shooting him and his pregnant wife. The incident sparked a media storm and heightened racial tension in the city. But it doesn't resurface as evidence in the same way the Duke lacrosse rape story does whenever there are high profile accusations of sexual assault.
Then there was this horrible piece in The Washington Post which quotes liberally from the police report. The author, Alexandra Petri, repeatedly mocks the accuser even writing at one point, "There are hundreds of jokes to be made here." The fact of the matter is: women who are sexually assaulted are too often mocked and shamed in the court of public opinion. Is it any wonder a victim might choose not to bring charges against their attacker?
The Daily Caller ran this headline about MSNBC host Joe Scarborough's tweets on the topic, "Scarborough: Gore sex scandal is just hot air." The fact of the matter is: Getting caught having sex with a consenting adult who is not your spouse is a sex scandal. What Gore's accuser alleges in her statement to the police is more than a scandal.
And then there are the commenters. At Salon, one commenter refers to Gore's "dallying." Again, dallying is consensual. This story alleges force. Another observed of Gore, "he just doesn't give off those sleazy perv vibes that triggered my alarms." Rapists don't always look and act a certain way. There are the commenters like this one who wrote, "I doubted the allegations, especially since real sex could be had for less money than the $540 Gore was paying his masseuse for a bellyrub." Reminder: rape is not about sex. It is about violence and control.
And finally, there are the commenters and commentators who imply that an accuser who pursues civil action but not criminal action must just be a gold digger. The fact of the matter is there are many legitimate reasons a victim of sexual assault might choose that route. Read Jaclyn Friedman's article, "Why the Charges are Civil (and Why That Doesn't Mean She's a Lying Golddigger)" to understand some of them.
So, while I understand the hesitancy to cover this story, those who do cover it should make an effort to understand rape culture and extend the same courtesy – considering someone innocent unti proven guilty – to both the accused and the accuser.
UPDATE July 1, 2010: This investigation had been closed but Portland Police anounced they have reopened it.

I'm adventurous and confident, and I always speak my mind- hopefully, you'll like what you hear! I like to find humor in every situation, and I love to laugh. I love to explore places I've never been, and I'd rather try something new than do something I've already done. I'm curious about everything, and learning new things is the best way to spend the day. I come from a big family, and being the 3rd of 4 kids, my dad always says that I'm the one that holds it all together. I'm both a realist and a cynic, just looking to find someone special...I believe in being true to yourself, being honest with everyone, and i love that little bit uncertainty at the start of each day...

In the shade with a Great Shading Umbrella!
By Erica J. from Los Angeles, CA on Jun 12, 2012
Practical, Stylish
Umbrella came well packaged, and quickly. It was as described, color images on the computer accurate. This particularly umbrella is very large, fit the existing stand which was key, had a beautiful sheen, and is just perfect! The picture doesn't give the drape of the umbrella justice, with the double tier it has a very elegant drape. In our yard the umbrella is the main vertical visual and we went with a very bright green tone. Between the color and the drape, it adds a wonderful element. Our landscaping is what I might call modern rustic and the umbrella fits in perfect because of the wood pole, but it would equally work in a more sophisticated setting.
