Since sunset photos is my favorite category, I thought I would write about what you could do to improve your sunset (and sunrise) photos. This is quite basic stuff but I feel that quite many sunset photos here in dA could be improved with these ideas. I'm not going to cover all the basics of photography though. If there are some terms that you're not familiar with, I would suggest going to your local library and getting a book about the basics of photography. Or you can also read something from the internet, here's a link list from my previous news-article: news.deviantart.com/article/41…
There are far too many sources to name any specific, since I've taken stuff from everything I've read and I think quite many guides cover these things. But this information is something I think might help a beginner, at least it helps me and I use it constantly.
Also don't take the photos, make them. Improving your skills is about mentality. Taking photos is easier to view as just walking suddenly to some random place, seeing a nice view and snapping a photo. Many good sunset photos are planned well, so don't just take snapshots, plan the image and then make it carefully. Perhaps this is one of the things that has suffered in digital age, since it's easy to just shoot bunch of photos and then see if any of those succeeded.
I have used some photos as examples here. They are from my collection, I'm just too lazy to go look for suitable images from other deviants and at least in with my photos, I now what I was thinking when I photographed it.
Planning is everything
Like I previously stated, planning is really important with sunset photos, as it is with all the photography. Do you think that all the great landscape photographers just happen to walk to interesting and beautiful places by accident? For the best of them, it might be few weeks of walking in difficult environment searching for good places.
Getting the nice sunset photo is all about timing since the sun sets on certain moment. Ever noticed a beautiful sunset from your window and ran to take a photo out of it? Unless you're living in really beautiful area (and this one area would get old anyway quite quickly), you'll most likely end up with beautiful colors and something really uninteresting in the foreground (what ever happens to be next to your house). The time it takes you to travel to a nice location is usually long enough so that you'll miss the sunset if you react only when you see the sunset.
I saw a beautiful sunset outside when coming home from work. I grapped my camera and ran to nearby hill and found this scene. I was late and the most beautiful part was already gone. Also how many photos do you think I could take from this small hill and keep them still interesting?
So first find out when the sun is setting (check your local weather services for example). Make sure you're ready in location well before the moment since usually the time given is the moment when the sun disappears below the horizon. So if you want to have the sun in the image, be there earlier. Also make sure you have time for scouting and finding the good spot so when the moment is right, you're ready and not just setting the tripod in a hurry. If you have to hurry, it usually results in shots that are not that well planned and not getting the full potential out of the image.
Photo taken before the sunset while sun was low in the sky.
Find out the direction where to sun is setting
Sun rises from the east and sets into west? Wrong, not accurate enough. It naturally depends on where you live, but here in Finland, for example, it varies quite a lot depending on time of the year. Unfortunately I haven't found any good services yet that could provide this information but there are some compasses that enable you to find out this information, for example. The direction of sunset helps you to think that what things you will have in the frame when the sun is setting.
Scout location(s) from map
Map is one important tool for all the landscape photographers and so it is also sunsets. You can find interesting locations easily from map that you can then scout either before sun is setting or on some other time. This is also when you need the information about the direction of the sunset. Also if you're going to scout the locations some other time than you're going to photograph them, bring a compass with out.
Also one handy tool here is Google Earth. This lets you to see more details and what place looks like (like places of forests and plain ground). But naturally to be of any use, it needs to have detailed enough photos of the area. Check and see if it's usable.
Sunset photos can be taken with any camera. Some might be better than the others, but by knowing your gear and its limitations you still can take beautiful photos with point-and-shoot cameras. Personally I would say though that having the possibility to use manual settings is really beneficial. At least you need the ability to correct the exposure.
I always carry a tripod with me when I'm going to photograph something. With sunsets, it has few important purposes. First of all, you don't have to worry about depth-of-field/shutter speed. Just choose the aperture that seems good for you and then select shutter speed according to that and don't worry about the camera shake. So you can always get pin-sharp images (with good tripod, remote and still weather I just did one minute exposure in night and got really sharp results).
Not a sunset, but still a 68 second exposure during night. I had the camera on a tripod, a good lens and used remote.
Also another benefit is that with tripod, you can make more careful compositions. You can do small tweaks to it and don't have to worry about your hand getting tired.
If you don't have tripod yet, I would recommend saving some money and getting a good one, especially for SLR. Around 200/$ should get you a nice tripod and head. Make also sure that you can work with it nicely without raising the center column. Raising center column makes the tripod more wobbly and could compromise the sharp image.
After getting my filters, I haven't photographed sunsets without them. There is one filter type you really need: neutral density graduated filter. I would go so far and say that without ND grads you'll only get silhouettes. Then there also are some other filters that might bring nice results, like colored grads or normal colored filters.
The ND grad is used to even the exposure differences between the ground and sky. Normally if you photograph towards the sun (even though it might be low), you'll get completely blown out sky (white) if you want to have some details in foreground. Or you'll have nicely exposed sky and black ground (that is nice if you want silhouettes, but remember, you want more than just silhouettes for every shot).
ND grad is half grey (neutral, so it shouldn't paint the scene in any way, just let less light to pass) and half clear and between them, it has gradual transition. This way you can either hold the filter in your hand in front of the lens or then have a filter holder attached to the lens. You can rotate the filter and move it up and down to get the transition to be in right place.
Another interesting filter is neutral density filter. This makes less light to get into sensor and forces you to use longer shutter speeds. The effect might be really interesting especially with water.
With filter system you'll attach the filter holder into lens (usually with adapter, so you need only one holder for different size lenses) and put the square filter into the holder. You can move the filter up and down to get the grad transition to right place and rotate the holder.
One system that has also ND grads is Cokin system. Personally I've used the P-system, but it has one drawback: the neutral density filters aren't exactly neutral. They tend to bring in a slight red hue that might be a problem when you'll stack them. But you can read more about the system from their website and also see some examples: www.cokin.com/ Other brands that I know are Lee filters (should be excellent and quite expensive) and Hitech (between Cokin and Lee in quality). Currently I have Cokin P-system with few filters and for my Nikkor 14mm f2.8 I had to get Cokin X-system since it was only system where I found an adapter that could fit the lens.
Left: ND grad filter to even the exposure of the sky and ground while ND filter made me to use longer exposure to get the water smooth.
Middle: Instead of traditional use of filters I had them sideways here. I used two ND grads to make the transition longer than normally.
Right: Using ND grad filter darkens the sky preventing it to be blown out and making the scene more dramatic.
Remote controller
Remote controller is nice thing to have, even though it's really just fine tuning. Even if you have the camera on tripod, once you press the shutter, you'll make some vibrations and it might affect the sharpness of the image. With remote, you can shoot without touching the camera, so you'll have sharper images again.
Also you can use the self-timer of the camera, if you don't have remote. Just set the self-timer to 10s for example, press the shutter release and wait.
Compass is necessary especially if you scout the are before the sunset. This way you can know exactly where the sun is setting. Let say, for example, that you're walking in beach and see interesting thing in horizon (a mountain etc for example) that you want into the image. With compass, you can find the right spot so the sun will be where you want it to be in the frame. This way you don't have to hurry when you come into the place for the sunset.
Protect yourself too
It's not enough that you protect the camera. Make sure you're wearing proper clothing for the weather, since sometimes you'll have to wait a while for the sun to be in the correct height. Also stones are usually interesting in sunset photos. So if you're walking on stone, it might be slippery, so be careful not to slip and break the camera or you.
Interesting composition
Composition in photography is always important. Don't forget it with sunset photos either. I'm not going to cover the basics of composition here. If you're not familiar with at least rule of the thirds, read it first from here: digital-photography-school.com… If you're more experienced photographer and want to learn more about composition, read The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos from Michael Freeman, for example.
Foreground interest
One interesting thing you can use to boost your sunsets (and landscapes in general) is having something interesting in the foreground. It might be a pool of water, some kind of plant or anything you find. This usually requires you using the ND grad filter because of exposure differences.
Quite traditional approach would be having the camera in vertical position and putting the foreground interest into lower part of the frame. Usually having something in the foreground also gives the photo more sense of depth.
Left: A pool of water is an easy choice for a foreground interest.
Right: Rocks give the photo a nice focal point in the frame that would otherwise be empty. Also notice the use of ND and ND grad filters.
You can take sunset photos before or after the sun has set down. If the sun is still high enough, you need to decide where to place it. One, usually safe, option would be placing it in some 1/3 spot (like explained in the article about rule of thirds for example). Or perhaps you could place it center if you want to emphasize the symmetry of the scene? There is no right answer, but it's important that you'll keep this in mind and pay attention to it.
Left: Since the scene isn't symmetric, I decided to place the sun on one of the vertical 1/3 lines. The right side was better choice in this scene since the balance of foreground is to left side. This way I was able to still have a balanced image.
Right: In this scene I wanted to emphasize the symmetry (dark silhouettes coming to middle from both sides), so I placed the sun into middle of the frame.
Tilted horizon vs straight horizon
This one is mostly a matter of taste. My personal view is that you should go for a straight horizon if there isn't anything in the scene that would require tilted horizon when it comes to composition. A tilted horizon can bring some dynamic into image, but usually the overall mood of the sunset photo usually doesn't benefit from this. Also if you're using a tilted horizon, make sure it's clear enough, since if it's modest, usually it doesn't bring anything into image, just makes it look like careless snapshot (personally I usually comment this).
Left: A bad example of tilted horizon. There's really nothing that would require it in this scene. Somehow it seems to work a bit here but afterwards, I think I should have gone for straight horizon.
Right: I wanted to fit the pool into image better, so I chose tilted horizon. Also the dramatic lighting in this scene benefits from the extra dynamics in my opinion.
Silhouettes can also be interesting element in the image. Just find some interesting shape for the photo (and be creative, it doesn't always have to be a tree). Also here you have to think about the composition. Don't just place the silhouette randomly somewhere in the frame, but think about it. For example use the rule of thirds.
Composition is only one part of the process of creating a beautiful photo. Getting the correct exposure is another. Here's few tips that might help you. Most of these are suitable also for other landscapes, but I've seen many sunset photos that could benefit from these. Here's really simple explanation about these things I'm talking here, in case you're not familiar with the terms: www.photonhead.com/beginners/
Quite basic thing about the photography: lower aperture (larger f-number), longer the depth-of-field is. In general you want the depth-of-field to be as wide as possible in landscapes (and hence in sunset photos too). Personally I usually use something like f8 (or f5.6 with my Tamron f5.6 since it's the sweet spot of the lens). This is usually enough since with wide focal lengths the DoF is quite wide anyway. This is true especially with compact cameras, where the real focal length is usually under 10mm.
Also remember that since you have the camera on tripod, you don't have to worry less light getting to sensor because of the smaller aperture.
Another recommendation would be not having too small aperture. There's a phenomenon called diffraction (I won't go into details). After a certain aperture, the quality of the image suffers if you'll use smaller aperture. On the other hand, with most of the images, the best results are usually few stops darker than max aperture. So basically every lens has a best aperture where it produces sharpest possible images. If you don't need lower or higher aperture for some other reason, I would recommend using that aperture. You can usually check the best aperture from lens reviews for example.
Expose to the right, if possible
One technique important with digital cameras "exposing to right". This means that you should have most of the histogram on the right side (while making sure that there aren't that many burned out areas in the image). I won't go into details of this technique here, you can read more for example here: www.luminous-landscape.com/tut… Once you have the image exposed to right, you can correct the image in post-processing to look like you wanted.
Bracketing isn't a bad idea, especially if you're a bit unsure about the exposure. So just take few photos with different shutter speeds (remember that you have the certain aperture set for the best results). But my personal approach is that I try to get the exposure correct but first, using zone system, and then tweaking the exposure with the help of the histogram.
Long vs. short exposure
Long vs. short exposure is matter of artistic opinion. Especially with water shots, having the "plastic" look in water can be really interesting and good looking effect but on the other hand, it might grow old quite quickly. Quite often long exposure photos might need neutral density filter to lower the amount of light that passes to sensor.
Left: Long exposure makes the water look smooth that goes well with the peaceful scene in the image.
Right: Shorter exposure makes the waves visible and supports the rugged view that foreground brings into image (but otherwise this image isn't good example of composition, especially with the sun... I also should have used ND grad filter here).
Learn to use histogram
Histogram tells you what kind of exposure you got far better than looking at the photo from the small screen of your camera. If you have the chance to use it, learn to use it. Read more from here: www.cambridgeincolour.com/tuto…
Ever tried taking a photo of a sunset that had really beautiful colors and ended up with photo that had really boring washed out colors? This is where the post-processing comes in. The goal is not to change the picture, but to get most out of the picture. I'm not going into details of these things, just few general words about them. Read more about these from here: www.cambridgeincolour.com/tuto…
Shoot raw!
One thing to do always, if possible, is to shoot in raw format. Not just with sunsets, but always. Raw gives you far better control over the image in post-processing. You can for example tweak the exposure a bit and change the white balance. Read more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_imag…
Curves and levels
Curves and levels are a good way to improve your final image. With slightly s-shaped curve it usually makes the contrasts higher and colors stronger. Read about them from cambridge in color -site.
White balance
One good way to affect the mood of the image is to change the white balance. This can be used to correct the image colors (in case the camera didn't get the white balance right) or perhaps change the colors to be a bit more dramatic. By changing the white balance to lower (colder), you'll get colder (blue) tones and by changing the white balance higher (warmer) you'll get warmer (orange) tones.
You can either change the white balance in-camera or better yet, if you shoot raw, set it afterwards in post-processing.
The scene was a bit yellow (and with reddish sky after stacking Cokin filters), but by changing the white balance into colder I was able to make the scene more dramatic.
High Dynamic Range images (HDR)
HDR is a bit controversial subject. While it seems to be extremely popular with the candy colors here in dA, there also are some people who mostly dislike it. Personally I always prefer using filters but there are some occasions where I use HDR myself. If the scene is difficult and there isn't any horizon line, you often have difficulties with filters. Also sometimes I'm just in the mood I want some of the effects HDR brings, so I'll use it. Naturally if you don't have filters, HDR might be your only way to get the balanced exposure between ground and sky.
If you shoot HDR, I would give you three quick advices: Avoid the dull gray HDR's... increase the contrasts with curves if needed. Avoid the overdone HDR-look, especially with colors. I grows old really quick. And last point: remember that it's still photography. Same "rules" still apply: the scene must be interesting enough and composition good (so avoid a situation where the whole idea of the image is the HDR effect).
Left: Unfortunately I didn't have ND grad filter for my 14mm f2.8 lens yet (it has huge front element) so I had to shoot this as HDR.
Middle: Bad use of HDR from me. I could have nailed this view easily with filters and gotten rid of that blue hue in foreground as well.
Right: Wanted to have the surreal HDR look here, also applied strong contrasts with curves tool and some warming filters in Photoshop.
So here you have it, a basic guide to shoot at least a bit better sunsets (well, there might naturally be some areas that I've overlooked). As you can see, it's not rocket science and doesn't require years of experienced (I've been photographing myself for a year only). Anyone can use these with a bit of planning. Also I think there's one message that I didn't state yet but you perhaps can read it between the lines: good sunset photos aren't just sunset photos. They're land/waterscape photos taken during sunset, where the whole scene is interesting and the sunset just gives the finishing touch.

Biff was the dead man in seat 10C. Eyes shot wide open. Yet he saw nothing as the shadows moved past. One arm, dangling into the aisle, swung with each sway and surge of the bus. An old, crumpled fedora lay in his lap.
There was the grit of sand in his gums. He licked at it with a lazy tongue, tasting the desert.
That bloody desert…
It haunted him.
Turning to his right, Biff stared out the window past ol' Snore and Snot. The old codger in the window seat smelled like medicated powder. Somewhere around West Haverstraw, his nose had become a leaky faucet. Despite being fast asleep, he would snort several times, sucking the bile back into his nose, and then return to snoring loudly.
Clouds coalesced into denser forms, choking the sunlight. It gave the air a heaviness, that feeling of a drawn-in breath unable to be released.
…and this bloody sand!
The sand was always there when he thought of the desert. It felt as if pins and needles had been jammed in his gums. Hiding in the nooks and crannies between his blackened teeth. He scraped at them with a long fingernail.
If only Biff could sleep and forget it all. But sleep never came. Instead there was a fog. The past few hours were a haze. It was a millennium, but it was a second. Somewhere in the haze came the dream.

I recently made sweet potatoes for dinner and we had a cup or two of chopped sweet potatoes leftover. The next day, as I was thinking of reheating them as they were, I started thinking about all of the soups I've already made this year and how all I wanted on Saturday afternoon was another bowl of soup. I decided I'd try turning those leftovers into soup, and guess what? It worked! Here's the "recipe," though I use that term loosely since this was SO easy. Amounts are estimates; tweak to taste.
Sweet Potato Soup
- 1-2 cups of leftover sweet potatoes (mine had been cubed, and roasted with cinnamon, salt, pepper, and olive oil)
- vegetable broth
- maple syrup
- goat cheese
- paprika
Add leftover sweet potatoes to a blender or Magic Bullet (what I used, I'm OBSESSED with mine), then add a little bit of vegetable broth. Blend. Continue adding vegetable broth until mixture becomes thin, like soup. Transfer to a small pot, and heat over low heat on the stove. Add a small drizzle of maple syrup (trust) and top with goat cheese crumbles and a sprinkling of paprika. Amazing.
Today, I have leftover mashed cauliflower and parsnip from last night's dinner, and I'm pretty sure I can soup-ify that as well. I'll report back if it's awesome.

Why Foxtel is Doomed
I am a Foxtel subscriber and every day I get that little bit closer to turning off my $100 per month payment. Not because it is too expensive, but because the value equation is getting worse, at a time when alternatives are becoming more attractive. Sure, their penetration in Australia might be growing, but we are on the precipice of disruptive change to Television, in a way that Foxtel must respond to if they want to survive. And their response needs to be before the impending disruption, or just like the music industry, they'll be wondering what happened.
I'll give a summary of the why, and then revert to the what they should do.
Why Foxtel is doomed
The primary reason is that their system is antiquated. The model they employ, is the same as the cable television model which emerged from the US in the late 1970's. Yes it still exists, but it's days are numbered. it has already happened to newspapers, it has happened to music, and TV is next. The belief that they can demand that consumers subscribe to content in a world of infinite content is foolish. The world is moving quickly from a pay to play – subscription model, to a 'free and on demand' model. The fact that Foxtel has access 35% of homes is irrelevant. The real competition of Foxtel isn't Free to Air TV, it's the alternative web enabled screens in the home; laptops, desk tops, ipads, kindles and connected TV's. Web enabled TV has already penetrated 17% of homes in Australia. With the dropping cost of screen & web technology, the future for Foxtel is bleak.
Foxtel is reducing what we get for the same price:
Only two years ago our $100 per month gave us the gold package. Every channel, 2 free new release movies per month, the IQ recording device and approx 30 on demand shows / movies. Without notice the same amount of money gave us 'less' incrementally. First they removed the 2 free movies – without notice. Then they slowly started reducing the number of on demand shows. As I write this it is down to a paltry 7 shows as of today. While everyone else is giving us more, Foxtel are giving less. Anyone would think Moore's law works in the opposite direction the way they operate.
They don't get on demand:
The great innovation on the web and entertainment deliver is on demand. Foxtel, still choose to schedule nearly everything that is available, save for a few movies and TV shows they are promoting (the 7 mentioned above). They expect us to work to their schedule. The world doesn't world like that anymore. They need to wake up to this before most of their customers wake up to the fact that their are far cheaper and better alternatives available than Foxtel. (Including watching all USA TV on demand on Hulu via a proxy spinner.)
They don't provide access content for purchase without subscription:
In their wisdom Foxtel has added a 'movie library' which is 'on demand'. I thought – 'Finally they are starting to get it.' So when I attempted to watch an 'old movie' I was informed I had to; subscribe to get access. I thought I went into a time warp back to 1983 or something. It is not as though the movie was going to be free. I was happy to pay for it. But they also wanted me to pay for the right to have access. How stupid are these people, given that the tubes are already connected to me TV? Surely giving everyone access could and would increase revenue via people like me sitting down to watch an old movie. They have the system upside down. They have turned off their revenue tap. This is where they should be taking a lesson from iTunes. You can download whatever you like on demand for a rental fee. I'm really flummoxed by this. I think it is currently the worst media strategy in Australia by any company.
The NBN will hurt their business:
The imminent National Broad Band Network in Australia (NBN) is very bad news for Foxtel. It is basically putting the power of HD web live stream in every home. All that needs to happen is an on demand web enabled competitor to arrive and any one with half a clue will turn off their Foxtel. Not to mention the fact that Youtube HD will become a seriously viable TV option. (If you haven't lately, you should check out the Youtube Movies, Youtube live Concerts and Documentary's section – it's growing daily as are brand content channels – no prizes for guessing their strategy is to win the screen in every lounge room).
Apple Television in coming:
It was reported that Steve Jobs last great disruption was coming to Television with the Apple TV. Not the Current Apple TV box, but fully fledged in home Television screen connected to the web with levels of wizardry we can only imagine. One thing we don't have to imagine is the depth of content that will be available from it's existing iTunes store. All on demand, up to date and without subscription fees. When this comes – and it will, I am certain TV will never be the same again…. and Foxtel will be very model T Ford.
Connected TV is rapidly encroaching on Foxtel:
Foxtel is all about being connected to narrow cast content. Now that all TV's sold are web enabled, we have access to everything we could imagine – Free. It's a pretty compelling price point. The really important thing we must remember is that the price of technology is dropping. A connected Plasma 42″ TV is now as little as $500 to buy. With the user interface improving rapidly and many US streaming players arriving shortly (Hulu, Netflix, Startup XYZ) there is no space for the 'monopoly like' behaviour or pricing. For Newscorp it is newspapers all over again.
Users must pay for unwanted (unwatched) content:
The idea of having to buy packages is archaic. The idea of 'Packages' is a supply centric mantra from a time when the factory called the shots – much like travel agents did in the 1980′. But we now live in a user decides, mashup, self design commercial society. The idea that we can't pay for the exact channels we choose (with volume discounts of course) is not design for users, just the owners. people don't watch sport. They watch football, or boxing or surfing. people have specific needs, not generic ones. BBC viewers are different to Fox news viewers, so why treat them them same and 'bundle them up? ' It's an old method which is quite simply broken.
They've thrown their opportunity to be 'platform oriented':
Foxtel had their chance to own the distribution point of content on demand in Australian homes, and they let it go. They have tubes going into 35% of homes and every Foxtel discussion I have with anyone these days is around how poor the value equation is, and how they are poised to seek alternatives which they know are emerging. Their old world mentality is much like th music industry who were in love with their system, and not their customers. And this will be their downfall.
What Foxtel must do to survive:
Everything above and more.
But I honestly think it is too late. They may still exist, only via exclusive content like global sports properties. They've missed their chance and I have no doubt that disruptive internet technology will do to them the same thing it has done to many industry stalwarts. The most interesting fact is that, although I'm calling their game as over, the opportunity for startups in the space is still alive and kicking, which is ironic. It comes down to one basic fact, that companies who feed off legacy infrastructure almost always lose.
10 years in Tech
A short review of some of the changes in technology in the past 10 years. Who has arrived on the seen, what's different and new and how Moore's law is still rapidly changing the world. Enjoy!
Brand Trust
Apple Inc sold an amazing 700,000 ipads on launch day. That's around $350 million in revenue in one day. Most of the eager purchasers didn't have full knowledge of what the gadget was even capable of. Which makes me ask these simple questions:
(A) Is Apple the most trusted brand in the world with loyalists? (B) And if so what creates such zealotry?
Startup Blog Answers:
(A) Yes, I think so.
(B) Abridged answer: Over delivering to expectations on multiple occasions.
The only other brands I can even think of people buying into without knowing what they are actually getting is the ever lasting life that comes with most religions!
Startup blog says: Over deliver, be patient and get compound returns.
Creating Brand Loyalty
Here's a list of brands for which I am personally brand loyal with. And to the right of each brand I have a given a reason.
Brand & reason
Qantas Domestic: They are the only full service domestic airline in Australia.
Ripcurl Wetsuits : They are simply the best quality, and the warmest. I will never, ever switch as the cost of getting it wrong is $600+ mistake. I also love the brand history.
Collingwood FC: I am a fan and I support the club, in this category performance wont create switching, but it does reduce my purchase frequency
iphone: I love it's seamless funcationality and integrating so much, I find it hard to believe a better option will ever exist. I don't even mind putting up with a few dropouts
Crumpler Bags: I love their design, and functionality, I also love the story of how they started and the fact the owners are from my local city.
Seth's Blog: I know I'll get a golden entry aroud once a week.
Twitter: It's the only social network which suits my attitude & lifestyle. I like it's brevity & immediacy.
Google Search: Works best. Would switch if better one came along. On occasion I now search on twitter for attitudinal & results based on timeliness.
Lavazza Coffee : Best tasting Roast & ground coffee after trying many others.
If we are fortunate enough to have a level of brand loyalty, then it's equally important that we understand why we have it. In the case of Qantas, it's more serendipitous than through providing a super product. Notice I'm only loyal with domestic travel, I'll switch to Singapore or Cathay on international travel. Other brands like the Collingwood football club suffer from reduced revenue rather than losing market share. And Google, well they are only as good as their product where the switching costs are extremely low…. Once upon a time I was loyal Yahoo search…
The point for startups is simple. The reasons for brand loyalty are varied. Generating it is almost always related to having an awesome product. If our product isn't awesome enough, then we need to 'Awesomize it'. Only then will the brand story matter. Once we get loyalty our next job is to build a wall around it where switching costs are too high.

Jonathan Gold Says Goodbye to Angeli Caffe
After 27 years, Evan Kleiman's Angeli Caffe closed its doors for good on Jan. 13. LA Weekly columnist and KCRW Good Food regular Jonathan Gold wrote a touching eulogy on Kleiman's Melrose restaurant:
"The chilly Wednesday evening before Angeli Caffe closed for good, you could grab a bar seat at Pizzeria Mozza without waiting, and there were only two or three dudes in line at Pink's hot dog stand. If you were ambling down Melrose on your way to a bite or a drink, you could have had your choice of any table at any restaurant on the usually crowded strip.
But Angeli was really crowded, astonishingly crowded, with people there to wish the restaurant well — longtime customers, mostly, some of them with college-age kids who had been going to Angeli since infancy: patting out floury balls of pizza dough as toddlers, graduating to roast chicken as children, perhaps having their first dates there as teens, knowing the mashed-potato croquettes and the gnocchi with brown butter and sage would never let them down.

The Art Of Dreams
3 years ago
"No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves." ~ Amelia Earhart
In 1981 I worked as a nurse in a home for children. One day my administrator (Kerry) called me into her office to show me a thank you letter from a doctor. She explained that a week before she had seen a car pulled over on the highway. She pulled over to assist but was afraid to open her door. These were the days before cell phones. She cracked her window and yelled to the man if he needed help. He said yes, he was a doctor going to a local hospital to give a lecture. Kerry proceeded to call from a phone booth for police help. She then returned to the scene until the police responded. No names were exchanged that day. A week later here is this thank you letter. The doctor had gotten her address via her license plate. The letter thanked her for her kindness and had explained the situation. He added that if anyone should need his services as an OB/GYN oncologist she should not hesitate to contact him. I remember reading the letter and thinking it was nice. But I left the office and wondered why did she share this with me? Other than an act of kindness why was my busy nursing schedule that day interrupted with this?
A few weeks after the letter Kerry learned her sister needed the services of a doctor such as this one. And he proceeded to help the sister and thankfully she was nurtured to good health. We thought that was the reason for this mysterious meeting.
A year later, I got a phone call from my doctor at my work, of all places, who told me that I had Stage 3 cancer and I was going to die if I didn't do something immediately. I followed up with chief of Gynecology in RI, but when I mentioned I had the opportunity to see the doctor in Boston who is in the story above, he insisted by all means go there to see the man. This doctor proceeded to show me a textbook the doctor in Boston had contributed to for the med students.
One week later, I was having an eight hour surgery for this cancer which had gone undetected despite my constant complaints. The doctor (who is the one from the highway) who preformed my surgery had just perfected the procedure he was performing -- the very procedure he was traveling to RI to teach the med students at the local hospital.
The chances were grim that I would do well as the cancer was already spread to Stage 3. Well, no chemo was needed, and no organs surrounded by the cancer had been invaded. It is now 28 years later and I am well but I can speak of this as if it had just happened yesterday.
Dr. James Nelson Jr, is my angel. He is now retired, and I will never forget him. Nor will I forget my angel Kerry for her angelic way with this doctor on the highway that very cold morning.
I have always believed in Angels...and all through my life there have been experiences that can only be explained as Angels helping, guiding and healing as I learn the lessons that I have chosen for this lifetime.
People who have come into my life and re-awakened the knowledge and Purpose.....reaffirming the reasons that we choose to come back to Earth.....to learn the lessons that we cannot learn elsewhere.
I thank Spirit for all my blessings and I thank all the Angels for their daily guidance and abundant blessings......some days I am just sooooo overwhelmed by it all and the beauty that I experience and the Earth Angels that bless my
life along the way.
All the answers are there......just ask for divine guidance...you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Local Dining and Attractions
Welcome to literary Boston! From T.S. Eliot's Cambridge to Thoreau's Walden and Alcott's beloved Orchard House and beyond, in many ways, Boston itself is a city caught in the slipstream. The skyline boasts spectacular architecture that reaches toward the future, even as it looms proud guard over historic structures and spaces; some older than the nation in which they stand. As you negotiate bookish Boston's busy streets, the tension between past and future is ever-present. We hope its many slipstreams inspire you as it does those of us who call it home and as it continues to inspire local commerce, industry, writers, thinkers and artists--as it has since its beginning.
Teeming with intellectual opportunities, countless cultural events and a legion of devoted sports fans, Boston offers more than enough to feed the minds, bodies and spirits of those eager to push away from the shores of the mainstream in search of parallel universes, virtual worlds and the surreal, all of which are just steps away from 300 The Fenway.
What better place to give oneself over to the conference theme than in this liminal locale that honors history and tradition even as it pursues artistic, technological, social, and literary, advancement.
"We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." ~ T. S. Eliot, Little Gidding

Monks gathered at the memorial for Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi in India's capital, New Delhi, where they were joined by other religious leaders, while in Taiwan students found common cause with protesters.
The movement comes a day after a Buddhist nun died of wounds after setting fire to herself in China. Her protest came on the heels of the self-immolation of eight monks in China's Sichuan province this year.
Self-immolation is not a traditional form of protest in Tibetan society, but the Tibetan government in exile says it is trying to draw attention to how badly Tibetans are being treated in their homeland.
They are calling for an independent investigation into the treatment of Tibetans in China.

Standards of Practice
Sex offender therapists are also credentialed health professionals, and are subject to the standards of practice of their primary field of practice. However, standards of practice vary from profession to profession, and sex offender evaluation and treatment represents significant differences in practice from general mental health interventions.
(1) The standards set forth in OAR chapter 331, division 840 apply to all certified clinical sex offender therapists and certified associate sex offender therapists, hereafter referred to as certified sex offender therapist as specified in ORS 675.365(3).
(2) Standards of practice are necessary due to the unique characteristics of this area of specialized practice, the degree of control that a certified sex offender therapist exercises over the lives of clients, and the community protection issues inherent in this work.
(3) Failure to comply with these standards may constitute unprofessional conduct, which is subject to discipline under ORS 676.612.
(4) Any deviation from the standards of OAR 331-840-0020 must be based on the individual circumstances and in the best interest of the client, and in conformance with generally accepted standards of sex offender treatment and client care. On such occasion, the therapist must document in writing the reasons for the deviation in the client's records. Failure to document the reasons for the deviation from stated standards creates a presumption that the deviation was not in the best interest of the client.

Communications with other Professionals
Certified sex offender therapists may establish professional relationships with corrections or probation officers and other mental health professionals for the purpose of effective supervision and monitoring of an offender's behavior in the community. When appropriate, the therapist shall seek an authorization for release of information from the client to communicate with such agencies for treatment or monitoring purposes.
(1) Any violation of the treatment plan or contract, including court orders or parole agreements, or conditions of supervision shall be reported to the parole officer or other supervising officer.
(2) Therapists shall make periodic progress reports to the supervising officer as mutually agreed upon. Additional information regarding treatment progress shall be provided in a timely manner when requested by the court or other supervising officer.

Client Confidentiality; Disclosure and Informed Consent
For the purpose of clarifying requirements, the term "client" as used in this rule, means the sex offender which is receiving the treatment from the certified clinical sex offender therapist or certified associate sex offender therapist, referred to as "therapist" in this rule unless otherwise specifically noted.
(1) The certified sex offender therapist is responsible for insuring that clients, consultation parties, family members, research participants, organizations or agencies, and all other professional and work related contacts fully understand issues related to confidentiality. This includes, but it not limited to:
(a) Informing clients of the limits of confidentiality;
(b) Informing clients of any circumstances that may cause an exception to the agreed-upon confidentiality;
(c) Specifically informing clients about mandatory reporting requirements; and
(d) Clarifying issues of confidentiality where multiple parties are involved.
(2) Therapists shall comply with the provisions of ORS 675.390, and shall notify clients of the limits of confidentiality imposed on therapists by the provisions of 675.390 and rules adopted by the agency.
(3) Therapists shall comply with mandated reporting laws and statutes. No part of this rule shall be construed as releasing therapists from such obligations. If the circumstances allow, therapists shall inform clients that they will comply with the mandated reporting requirements.
(4) Unless reporting is mandated, written permission is required before any data maybe disclosed to persons beyond a therapist's staff. Clients shall be informed of the reason for the release of information.
(5) Therapists providing services within the criminal justice setting shall inform all parties involved of the level of confidentiality that applies.
(6) Therapist information shall not communicate to others without the written and informed consent of the client, unless the following circumstances apply:
(a) The client presents a clear and immediate danger to another individual or individuals.
(b) The client presents a clear and immediate danger to him/herself.
(c) There is an obligation to comply with the specific governmental statutes or regulations requiring reporting to authorities.(7) Therapists shall ensure that a client is provided informed consent when an individual under the therapist's supervision is providing services to the client. The client must be informed of the name of the therapist who is supervising the associate therapist and any affect on confidentiality.
(8) Therapists shall clarify, in a manner that the client is capable of understanding, issues of confidentiality in cases involving functionally disabled individuals or minors, when sharing information with parents, guardians, or agencies that may have custody of the functionally disabled individual or minor.
(9) When working with clients incapable of giving informed consent, including functionally disabled individuals or minors, the therapist is still responsible to:
(a) Inform the client about any proposed assessments or interventions in a manner commensurate with the person's psychological, functional, or developmental capabilities;
(b) Seek their help and participation in such interventions; and
(c) Consider such persons' preferences and best interest.
(10) Therapists who provide service to several persons who have a relationship (such as husband and wife or family members), shall clarify at the outset how confidentiality will apply among participants and to any external individual or entity (e.g., criminal justice).
(11) Therapists shall obtain written informed consent from a legally authorized person or agency for providing services, for participation in research, and in video taping for educational purposes, in instances where persons are legally capable of giving informed consent.
(12) Therapists shall not share confidential information with colleagues that might reasonably lead to the identification of a sex offender, research participant, organization or other person with whom the therapist has a confidential relationship.
(13) Therapists shall protect the confidentiality of participants when utilizing audio tape or video tape information in the context of training, workshops or research studies. Such tapes will be used only with the written and informed consent of all individuals portrayed on the tapes for that particular use (i.e., training, workshops, and research studies).
(14) Live demonstrations of treatment techniques with current or former clients or their families is considered exploitative and compromises confidentiality beyond what can be justified relative to education benefits.

Client Records
For the purpose of clarifying record keeping requirements, the term "client" as used in this rule, means the sex offender which is receiving the treatment from the certified sex offender therapist who will be providing treatment.
(1) Required Records. Therapists shall record, update and maintain documentation for each client relevant to health history, clinical examinations and treatment, and financial data. Documentation shall be written or electronic. Records shall include the following information:
(a) Basic client information, including name, address, telephone number and dates of service;
(b) Health history relevant to sex offender evaluation or treatment plan(s), including referral to other mental health care provider or physician.
(c) Date and description of services rendered in the form of "chart notes", including any complications. Chart notes shall include the recorder's initials, certification number and professional title if multiple practitioners provide service to the client.
(2) Record Format. Records and documentation shall be accurate, complete, and legible, typed or recorded using ink. Legible hand-written or electronic records are acceptable.
(3) Record Identifiers. Client records listed in subsection (1) of the rule shall include the therapist's name, license number, professional title or abbreviation, and signature or initials somewhere on the documentation as a means of identifying the person who is providing service to the client. This information may be affixed to the record(s) in the form of a professional stamp or handwritten entry.
(4) Record Retention. All client records and documentation, written or archived electronically by computer, shall be stored and maintained for a minimum of seven years after the therapist has last seen the client or past the age of minority, so that the records are safeguarded, readily retrievable, and available for inspection by the Oregon Health Licensing Agency's representative.

Health Tip: Diabetics, Avoid Too Much Salt
(HealthDay News) -- High-sodium foods can contribute to high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for stroke and heart attack. The issue is compounded for people with diabetes, who are already at greater risk of heart attack and stroke.
The American Diabetes Association suggests these healthier choices that can help you cut down on salt:
Choose fresh fruits and fresh vegetables over packaged offerings.
Opt for dried versions of legumes, beans and peas instead of canned varieties.
Look for whole-grain foods that aren't packed with sodium, including whole-grain barley, popcorn, brown and wild rice and quinoa.
Choose seeds and nuts that aren't salted.

Rex doesn't mind Calvin Pryor trash talk
Jets rookie safety Calvin Pryor makes no secret of his penchant for trash talk, and he's already making news with his comments about the Patriots.
"We don't like Tom at all," Pryor said of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during an interview with SportsNet New York's Daily News Live last week. "When I first came here, that was one of the first things I heard about: We hate the Patriots andwe hate the Giants. So we hate those guys and I look forward to playing them this season."
Head coach Rex Ryan, who has dialed back most of the trash talk that marked his first three seasons with the Jets, said he doesn't mind Pryor's chatter.
"Somebody in an opposite color jersey, you don't want to like them," Ryan said. "They're trying to take victory away from you. Having a dislike for them sometimes is a good thing. I know my brother (Rob, the Saints' defensive coordinator) is on the other sideline. Look, I love him. But on game day, I can't stand him. He's trying to take something from me. That's the mentality you take … [Pryor] knows who the enemy is. [The Patriots] have earned what we're looking to earn, to win that division."
