Compare what yuo might have to work around with this camera (no fast wide lenses) to putting a DoF adapter on an HV30, or dealing with the codecs of DSLRs.
I'm sold on the Black Magic.

You kids got lazy nowadays. If you don't have "fast" lenses, you just add light.

Seriously. 90% of the result is in production value elements that have nothing to do with image quality. But our national psychology is tuned into 'chasing cool'.
And the BMC is the ticket. Looks funky enough, vintage enough, mid century modern enough and high end enough to turn the chick's heads. Kinda like a Mini Cooper tricked out. BUT it can't replace the know how needed to turn RAW files into masterpieces. But who cares? By the time that anyone realizes that, the next cool toy will be out. BlackMagic read the demographic correctly. Trust Fund Babies are the big spenders of the New Millennium. But where are the results?
Well, they are 1 minute shorts on Vimeo, mostly of either night time motor cycle chases, couples frolicking in wheat fields or other junk.
So what's the value in that in the history of film making or in selling a product other than a camera or peripheral or how about documenting something fleeting or vanishing or exposing the extraordinary beauty of nature (minus the saccharine kitsch) ?

Looks like a nice ear-ful of cables. (Hey, BlackMagic, here's a hint for the next revision: even a camera that only has a front and a back still needs a 'dumb' side and a 'smart' side!)
Give me a great set of HMI's and no problem! Have you priced those things lately?
Daylight balanced flos are cheap, but always soft and not anywhere close to the output of an HMI.
Tungsten creates balancing problems, and digital cameras tend to like daylight balanced lights more than tungsten.

I'm getting close to some interesting new fixtures too. But that's about a year out.

(BTW, they also don't last 50000 hours or whatever they normally claim. Yeah, sure, the LED might still glow,
but at what brightness? If you can't keep the die cool enough, the things don't last very long at all.)
That said, they have their place, as long as they're understood correctly....and STOP USING "tungsten Wattage equivalent" light output as the main spec.
Gosh, I hate that! Just state how much wattage the thing uses, and we will figure out the rest ourselves!

I"m starting to look seriously at what it would take to handle the workflow. Why get this camera if you are NOT going to shoot Raw (although that is an option)?
You need a beefy computer, probably 12 gigs of ram, and a really good Nvidia GPU. I have a core i7 but it could probably use an updated GPU.
You need Adobe premiere or something like that to edit. Don't know if Final Cut X is gonna work well with CinemaDNG, and actually Adobe said Premiere doesn't work that well with CinemaDNG, but they are going to look into it. Yes, Adobe made CinemaDNG but didn't think anyone would be using it to edit. Black Magic caught them off guard.
If you don't have a Mac, looks like you need Mac Drive so your PC system will recognize the SSDs you will be recording on.
Plus I was looking at some of the calculations for storage. It ads up REALLY quickly if you start shooting Raw, like terabytes.
"beautiful girls are the cheapest special effect"
- Roger Corman
Well....I see several options for PC.
Importantly to note is that there ate TWO things to consider: 1) the SSD has to be first formatted in HFS+, and 2) this hard drive then has to be read/written to on a PC.
The formatting could be done by a friend with a mac. Then 2) could be done with HFSExplorer for free.
Alternatively, there's Paragon's HFS+ for Windows is less than half price from MacDrive.
So, three options:
- Macdrive, for U$50.00, to format and read/write HFS+ on Windows: http://www.mediafour.com/store/
- Paragon HFS+ for Windows for U$20.00, read/write HFS+ on Windows: http://www.paragon-software.com/home.../download.html
- Catacombae's HFSExplorer for FREE, to be able to READ and ACCESS files of the HFS+ SSD on Windows: http://www.catacombae.org/hfsx.html

At the end of the day, It all boils down to the same issue, regardless of equipment, what are you going to use the camera / gear for...
Obviously having such a wide dynamic latitude of footage allows you for more creative freedom while defining the look and overall aesthetics of your work, but ultimately, if you know what you're doing, you can get excellent results with a DSLR, h.264 and hdv.
Like It was said over and over in the thread, this camera might not be for everyone...

My concern is whether or not I have the funds to handle the entire work flow if I bought a Black Magic camera.
Similar to the Scarlet, it's not just having enough money for the camera. There's a lot of other things you need for the entire work flow compared to shooting HD.
My goal is to eventually shoot something as craptastic as Birdemic. I don't think I'll ever achieve that, but one can dream.
If I did pull it off, naturally I'd want it to be future proof.
Imagine shooting something this bad, Raw. That would be awesome!

just to re incite discussion, there's new footage of this camera. It's definitely worth checking it out.
Check out my Interactive designer blog with bits and pieces of the HD video production and multimedia development world.
The footage looks pretty nice, but I honestly hate the camera's design. I'll personally stick with a dslr. Pretty much everything I do is for the web, so 1920x1080 is perfectly ok with me.

What is a reasonable way of assessing the light output of LEDs?
I tend to think of 500W halogen work-lights as the cheap, very hot, but ample, lighting benchmark, and when I look at CFLs, LEDs etc I find it troubling to assess the equivalent light output (lumens, I guess) from alternate sources.
This is even before the debate about colour balance etc.
Yes, it is lumens, but you also have to keep in mind that the light falloff is bigger with CFL and LED lights than with Tungsten.
I have a 1000W "equivalent" CFL light, but I can can get the same f-stop at a greater distance out of my old, trusted 350W Arri. I know this comparison is a bit unfair, as the Arri is actually a fresnel light, however,...
What you call a grumpy German? - Sour Kraut
I know that things will be a rough approximation, and you do need to experiment with the equipment in practice, but it seems pointless getting a "99 LED array" thinking it might be something eqiuvalent to the light output of a 100W tungsten globe, to find its more like a 40W globe.

COMING SOON! The Monster Who Ate My PeasDec 16, 2013
The Monster Who Ate My Peas is a musical based on the book by author Danny Schnitzlein and illustrator Matt Faulkner published in 2010.
Danny is a boy with a problem: he hates eating peas. Although Danny lives happily with his Mom, Dad, and pet dog Ralph, his parents demand that Danny eats his peas at the dinner table. Danny refuses and says, "I would rather eat dirt !" As much as he wished for those peas to disappear from his plate, nothing happened.
One night at dinner, Danny repeats his wish for the peas to go away. Just then, as if somebody had heard his wish, a Monster appears. The Monster didn't really scare Danny. In fact, the Monster told Danny that he could "help kids like you," by eating all the foods that most "small stomachs" don't like.
But the Monster wasn't going to eat Danny's peas for nothing. He demanded something that Danny had as payment each evening when he returned to eat the peas. But Danny was never happy to give the Monster any of his stuff. The Monster forces Danny into making a very difficult decision by demanding he hand over his most valued possession. Will Danny be able to save the one thing that is most important to him by eating his peas and sending the Monster away forever?

People are really hungry for genuine experiences of community that bring people together that they feel connect them to their neighbors.

Part 5 of our Dig It documentary highlights the positive impacts of tree planting beyond health and environmental benefits; when trees grow, so does a sense of community.
Another good for community / good for the environment tool is also featured in this Dig It segment: the bicycle. Meet the founder of Rock the Bike, an organization created to help "bike people" spread enthusiasm and awareness for the environmental, health and cultural benefits of bicycles.

Last week we mentioned the fact that Timberland's Dig It event in San Francisco would be powered, in part, by human energy via a bicycle-powered generator. Stone Gossard was so inspired by seeing the bikes in use during the daytime service event that he then used them to power his live concert at the Grand Ballroom that night. You can view the bikes (and Stone) in action here.

a week in paradise
Vacation was awesome. And I mean awesome. A big, huge thank you to all of the lovely and talented guest posters that were able to step in while I was doing this…
And some of this…
And a whole lot of this…
A week on the beach was exactly what we needed. While we've taken trips in the past few years, this was the first vacation where Babyface and I both totally shut off from our responsibilities in our entire marriage. It felt so good to not be tethered to my phone or laptop. I was able to take naps on the beach. Drink mimosas for breakfast. And read. I read four books, kids. FOUR! There were even a couple of days where I read an entire book start to finish on the beach. It felt so decadent and amazing.
For the most part, while we were on the beach we did exactly that—stay on the beach. But we did put on real pants a few times and venture out into the not-so-sandy-world. We got out to watch a Blue Jays Spring Training game in Sarasota, which was fun, but neither of us are huge baseball fans. We did really enjoy the hot dogs and beer, though.
One adventure that took us all around the area was our quest to find local seafood. You'd be amazed at how hard it is to find local seafood in the Sarasota area. We were finally able to track down a few places to buy freshly caught fish and shrimp, but the choices were really limited. Even the restaurants in the area flew in the vast majority of their seafood. But what were able to find was incredible!
And of course, we did our fair share of shopping. Babyface and I both get a kick out of kitschy, cheesy souvenir shops, so we spent quite a bit of time going through those. Beyond those shops, there were also some amazing artist co-op stores in the area. We were able to snag some fantastic original pieces from local artists as souvenirs. We did not, however, buy this hat. Dreads work on me, no?
I wish I had more to share with you, but I can honestly say, 90% of our time on vacation was spent on the water. We walked along the beach. We searched for seashells. We got our fill of Vitamin D (and went through SIX bottles of sunscreen). We splashed in the waves.
We Babyface boogie boarded.
I think the mark of a great vacation is how you feel at the end. So often, I feel like I need a week's vacation to recover from my vacation, but this time I feel relaxed and ready to get back into the swing of things. I loved being on the Gulf Coast, but I'm also happy to be home (and SO happy to see Puppyface).
I just wish we could bring the beach with us.
When you go on vacation, do you go off-the-grid? Or do you like to stay connected?
24 Comments
My favourite vacations are cruises! There's no WiFi out on the sea, and no cell phone towers. It's just so nice to totally leave EVERYTHING behind and just enjoy my family. Even our last cruise, with a 9 month old who was getting his top teeth was awesome. We barely slept, we hung out a lot in the splash pad and the baby play room, but it was so much fun to just… exist only for my family. No cooking or cleaning or shopping or going online. It was amazing.
Looks like you had a well-deserved vacation!
I really, really want to take a vacation on the beach now.
The cottage my family owns up at the Cape has no internet, so for most of my life, I spent the two weeks there completely off the grid. In the past few years, though, I've noticed I have 3G access, so I can at least check my email on my phone while I'm there. Besides that, I'm off the grid. I'd rather spend time enjoying myself more than looking at emails, Twitter, Facebook… I like spending time in the here and now.
Sounds like you had a great time!
Looks like a great vacation. Glad you enjoyed it. Love that hot red bathing suit! I love to go off-the-grid when on vacation.
I love Sarasota!! Your trip looks like SO much fun- and I'm so glad that you had a wonderful time! I am a huge baseball fan and totally jealous that you got to go to a spring training game. I never have- except for the last training game that's always at the home stadium (which I'll be going to in a week). And love the Orioles poster- shout out to Baltimore! (I'm a Red Sox fan but worked at Camden Yards through college :))
Your bathing suit looks fantastic! I need to go get one! I love the red color too!
And at first glance, I thought the dreads were real. Yeah, I like YOUR hair better.
Oh- Gretchen and I hung out Saturday and were talking about how much we love your blog. Wish you lived closer!
Good for you!!! I think it's awesome that you had a totally relaxing vacation. Hopefully you feel refreshed and recharged!
I loved your pics Cassie!! Makes me excited to go on my vacation…we leave April 22 for VEGAS!! The dreads were hilarious!! I think this vacation will be pretty easy to turn off the phone. Last year in Newfoundland it was extremely easy….NO SERVICE!! LOL!!
Glad to have you back (I did enjoy the guest posts)
Is that the Old Salty Dog I spy? Great little place to sit and watch the boats come in and out!
Happy to hear you two had a great time – and hope you'll be back soon!
I usually get one "unplugged" short vacation a year in north GA …but mostly because its hard to find an internet connection or cell service where we go!
First of all, your red bathing suit looks FANTASTIC on you! I love the retro look to it. So pretty
Your vacation sounds perfect! I love unplugging when I'm away- phone off, no internet, just relaxation. Ahhh Glad you two had such a great time!
Wow, looks like a fantastic vacation ~ the perfect getaway!
When we vacation, my hubby definitely struggles to unplug, and unfortunately I've allowed that habit of his to creep into my own habits. I'm definitely rededicated to working on switching back to the unplugged version of vacationing, and even finding time to unplug at home.
That red swimsuit is completely incredible ~ you look gorgeous lady!!
Sounds like the perfect holiday! I'm also in awe of your swim suit, I used to have an awesome red swimsuit but I left it on a beach in Africa, I've bought other ones since but I loved that one best of all. Reading about your holiday has got me excited for mine. 6 and half weeks time, and I am for the first time ever, counting the days. Perfection for me is a week in Northumbria, there's hardly any mobile (cellphone) signal and no internet, so it will be pretty unplugged. Can't wait. Hope you have a good week getting back into the swing of things…
So glad that you enjoyed Florida– I live on the east coast, and absolutely love my state! You've got to take a trip to St. Augustine sometime. It's a tad north of me, and there is SO much history and beauty there.
It's so hard for me to unplug, but I'm inspired by your trip. I'm going to try it myself in the near future!
Aww I can't believe you visited my city! So cool! It sounds like you two had a good time. I wish I would have known you were going and I would have suggested a few good seafood spots that the locals flock to Love love LOVE the red bathing suit! Hotness girl!
Love the red bathing suit. Source?

Those fun new phones can do a lot of cool things. They are also huge distractions for drivers, and are causing thousands of car accidents around the country. Some drivers seem more concerned with the text message they just received and how they are going to reply to it than what is happening on the road in front of them.
New National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data shows that distraction related crashes killed thousands of people throughout the country in 2010. Although data from 2011 has not yet been released, one can hope that the numbers were reduced and trend downward for 2012. The wrongful death of a person caused by a reckless or negligent driver can have a devastating effect on a person's family.
The NHTSA data included drivers who were using hands-free devices to communicate. A survey conducted by the agency found that many drivers, more than three-fourths, would answer a phone call while driving. These drivers also said that traffic conditions rarely mattered when deciding if they should or should not use their phones. These unsettling results suggest that it may be hard for authorities and society to combat the negligent driving habits brought on by using cell phones while driving.
Families who lose loved ones also lose companionship and income. The grieving process may cause some families to not think about the financial aspects of their loss. A death in the family can result in funeral costs, unpaid hospital bills, and loss of future income, which can greatly affect the family's future goals.

I recently got my hands on an antique pie safe that has been in my family. Apparently when my aunt was younger she painted the whole thing. I'm able to get the paint off of the wood with sanding/stripping, but the sides have punched tin that cannot be removed, they are installed between wooden boards. It simply cannot be taken apart as it is very old. The punched tin is painted orange. How can I strip it to it's original self? Please help!
I don't have any answers but just wanted to tell you how lucky you are to have an antique pie safe. They're real gems!
Careful use with a heat gun. Since the tin is metal, it will heat up faster than the wood around it. You should be able to heat the tin up enough so that careful use of something like the corner of a nylon scrubbie can take the paint off.
A mix of boiling hot water and baking soda applied with a Q-tip should get into the smaller cracks. Or, use anything hard and plastic to scrape off the loosened paint from the heat gun.
Finally, you could carefully apply some paint remover, but I would be concerned about staining the nearby wood. Maybe test this process on the bottom of the box first.
an acid brush, some M.E.K. , a little patience, and a respirator will remove the paint
The tin is punched from the inside out, so all the dimples are exposed on the outside and painted over, how do I scrape that?
MEK will dissolve the paint and the residue can be brushed away with the acid brush

With Kim Farris '14 (#2, right-side photo) racking up 19 kills and a solid .485 hitting percentage while Claire Larson '15 collected 29 assists in just three sets, the Cardinals rallied past Salve Regina in their season-opening match during the Trinity Invitational Fri., Sept. 7, 3-1. Wesleyan dropped the first set, 13-25, but recovered from a 24-18 deficit in the second set to win 27-25. That gave the Cardinals momentum during the third set, a 25-18 victory. The final set was nip-and-tuck as the teams were tied at every juncture from 8-8 through 20-20 before a four-point Wesleyan run behind the serving of Kim Farris helped the Cardinals clinch the match with a 25-22 win.
Wesleyan closed out action in the Trinity Invitational Sat., Sept. 8 with matches against Eastern Conn. and Lasell. The Cardinals downed Eastern, 3-0 (25-19, 25-23, 25-20), then bested Lasell, 3-1 (25-16, 25-16, 22-25, 25-14) to improve to 3-0 on the year. As a result, Wesleyan will take its unblemished record into its initial NESCAC affair Fri., Sept. 14 at home vs. Middlebury. The NESCAC weekend concludes Sat., Sept. 15 vs. Little Three rival Williams.
Sophia Davila '16, who had a team-high 13 digs in the Salve match, served seven straight points for the Cardinals in the second set as Wesleyan turned the 24-18 deficit into a 25-24 edge. Though Salve evened the count at 25-25, Wesleyan forged the last two points to even the match, 1-1, at the time. The Cardinals led throughout the third set in gaining a 2-1 lead.
Wesleyan also got a strong match vs. Salve from Monica Leslie '14 as she chipped in with 10 kills and four blocks. Larson added 11 digs, to complement her 29 assists.
Against Eastern, the Cardinals used the front line to register 11 team blocks with both Leslie and Abby Southam '16 picking up five assisted blocks. Farris again led in kills with 10 and Larson had 24 assists. Davila added 10 digs to her figures. The Cardinals outpointed the Warriors by 13 points over the three sets and those could be accounted for by Wesleyan's 11-7 margin in aces and committing only 15 attack errors to 25 by Eastern.
Despite going four sets with Lasell, Wesleyan enjoyed a 26-point differential. Kate Centofanti '14 racked up 16 kills in a strong effort while Southam added 12 and Leslie chipped in with 11. Wesleyan had 52 kills to Lasell's 28, and 13 aces to just five by the Lancers. Larson, who sat the bulk of the third set, tossed up 39 assists in three-plus sets of action. Davila again led in digs with 12.

Elijah Tabor of Waynesboro was back in his Golden Eagle Cabinet Shop a month after open heart surger

What was supposed to be a basic physical at his doctor's office led Waynesboro resident Elijah Tabor, 68, to become the first open heart surgery patient at Pinnacle Health's new West Shore Hospital in Mechanicsburg.
And his wife of 35 years, Merri, ended up being the first patient in the emergency room when she passed out after his surgery.
His diagnosis
"It was totally out of the blue while I was having a regular check-up and the doctor said that I had a heart murmur that we need to look into," said Tabor. Over the coming weeks, Tabor saw three specialists and each time the reports got worse.
Specialists determined that Tabor was born with a heart defect. His aortic valve was smaller than usual and it had become calcified. This was causing his heart to work a lot harder and as a result, the aorta on the other side of his heart was starting expand due to the extra pressure.
"They made it pretty plain to me that with my condition, your first symptom might just be that you die. Imagine hearing that," said Tabor. He was told that the longer he waited to have the surgery, the worse his condition would become.
"I was under a lot of pressure to take care of this as soon as possible, and I was just thinking, 'I want to have a happy spring,'" said Tabor, chuckling.
Tabor's heart surgeon, Dr. Mubashir A. Mumtaz, is based at Harrisburg Hospital, which is owned by PinnacleHealth. Pinnacle was just about to open a brand new hospital that is closer in Mechanicsburg and closer to Waynesboro.
"Providentially that's when I showed up," said Tabor. "Dr. Mumtaz was checking me out for heart surgery and said, 'By the way, we are opening this new hospital, would you like to be the first heart patient?'"
Tabor said he was a little concerned that the new hospital might not be running properly or that something might be missing there.
"I prayed about it, though, and decided this was something I ought to do," he said.
According to Tabor, the hospital was using his surgery like a target, around which they were motivating the staff to get the hospital up and running.
I was their first heart patient and they needed to get ready in time for my surgery," said Tabor.
His surgery took place on May 19, the first day that the hospital was officially open for business
"I'll tell you, it was an incredible experience," he added. "You know, you can tell that people cared. It wasn't just a job. They wanted to take really good care of me," according to Tabor, who said the attitude of the nurses was a comfort to him.
"Of course, I understand that they didn't want their first patient to croak, so they might have been trying extra hard," Tabor said, laughing.
Tabor said there was only one minor glitch: "My wife passed out four times," he said. "She saw them wheel me out of the surgery room and apparently I looked even worse than usual and it just knocked her out.
"Everyone left me with a nurse in the post op room to take care of my wife," said Tabor. "The fact that the surgeon went along with my wife to make sure she was OK says a lot."
"My recovery is supposed to take four to six weeks, and I was out in my shop a month to the day of my surgery," said Tabor, owner of Golden Eagle Cabinet Shop where he restores antiques and makes high end furniture.
He credits his wife for staying with him the entire time at the hospital and helping him through his recovery.
"I'm fixed for now," said Tabor. "You never know from one day to the next but they basically said I am good to go for 15 years or so.
"The cool thing is that before the surgery, if I was lying in bed on a pillow at night, I could hear my heart — it sounded like a rusty well pump," said Tabor. "Now it just sounds like a healthy heart!"

Press Release #13-123
Sophomore Jenna Witman and junior Allegra Garrett have been awarded the Gilman Scholarship for Study Abroad to The Gambia for the spring 2014 semester. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the scholarship financially supports students who wish to broaden their academic horizons by studying outside the United States.

"I'm incredibly grateful to receive this generous scholarship," says Witman. "I am so thankful for the professors here who not only encouraged me to pursue studying abroad, but also were kind enough to help me during the application process and scholarship search with their letters of recommendation. I am absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to study abroad in The Gambia, and I can't wait for all the new and exciting things I am going to experience!"

Put Some Spring in Your Strands! Our Best Springtime Hair Tips
With the days getting longer and temperatures (slowly) rising, it's finally time to start thinking about spring! And, just like your wardrobe, your strands are due for a seasonal change. Here, stylist Michael Max Gierl of Mizu Salon in New York City shares his top tips for seamlessly transitioning your hair care routine from winter to spring.
By Melanie Rud
Lighten your locks
The days are sunnier, so your hair color should be too! If you typically get highlights, ask your colorist for a technique called balayage: It involves painting the color onto individual strands in a random pattern, rather than the methodical placement of traditional foil highlights. It works for all hair colors; just keep the lighter pieces no more than one to two shades lighter than the base. The goal is to create a subtle sun-kissed look, not a drastic contrast. While this does require professional application, it grows out very naturally so you won't have to hit the salon as frequently.

Few changes in the world economy over the last quarter century are as universally recognized as the globalization of business. As business moves beyond our borders, we believe that the way we structure business education must do the same. The McCombs School has developed study abroad opportunities across the globe by partnering with key business schools in Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia. But for many of our students, study abroad remains an opportunity that they will never realize. For some, this is because they don't have the financial means to travel. For others, it is as simple as not realizing that they have the ability to study abroad until it's too late.
A gift to BBA International Programs gives us the ability to put that gift towards efforts that spread the word about the value and feasibility of international study. It provides students with the resources that they need to moderate their expense. It allows the McCombs BBA education to be a truly global experience. If giving tomorrow's generation a more global perspective is your passion, then this is your gift!

Citigroup Bloodbath: $1 Billion Charge, 11,000 Jobs Cut and 84 Branches Gone (Update 3)
Updated with market close information, revised return and price ratios, and comments from Evercore Partners analyst Andrew Marquardt and Credit Agricole analyst Mike Mayo.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Citigroup (C) is cutting to the bone.
The company on Wednesday announced a series of moves meant to cut its annual expenses by $900 million in 2013, with total expense savings increasing to $1.1 billion in 2014.
Citigroup's shares rose over 6% to close at $36.46.The company is looking for the expense cuts to have a very a healthy effect on its bottom line, as the company "expects the repositioning actions to have a negative impact on annual revenues of less than $300 million." In an effort to focus "on the 150 cities that have the highest growth potential in consumer banking," Citi said it would close a total of 84 branch offices, including 44 in the United States, as offices in Brazil, Hong Kong, Hungary, and South Korea. The company said that its actions "will result in a reduction of more than 11,000 positions," including 6,200 in the Global Consumer Banking segment, 1,900 in the Institutional Clients Group, and 350 in Citi Holdings, which is the subsidiary into which Citigroup has placed noncore assets, as part of former CEO Vikram Pandit's "good bank/bad bank" strategy to right-size the company's balance sheet. "In addition to the reductions in Operations & Technology positions that support the ICG and GCB businesses, these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 2,300 positions that support corporate services, real estate, and Citi Holdings," Citigroup said. Michael Corbat replaced Pandit as Citigroup's CEO in October, after serving as the company's CEO for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and having previously served as the head of Citi Holdings. Several analysts commented at that time that the change at the top could mean that the company would take more aggressive actions to wind-down Citi Holdings, cut expenses and free-up cash for an increased capital return to investors. The cuts will result in fourth-quarter charges totaling $1 billion, with an additional $100 million in charges to be recorded during the first half of 2013. Corbat said that the "actions are logical next steps in Citi's transformation," as the company has "identified areas and products where our scale does not provide for meaningful returns. And we will further increase our operating efficiency by reducing excess capacity and expenses, whether they center on technology, real estate or simplifying our operations."

China's economic slowdown painful despite stimulus
BEIJING (AP) â¿¿ From shopkeepers to shipbuilders, some sectors are feeling more pain from China's deepest slowdown since the 2008 global crisis than still-robust headline growth of about 8 percent might suggest. Higher spending by state industry and government-directed investment is pumping up the world's second-largest economy, but that masks the fact that the private sector is cutting jobs and scrambling to prop up plunging sales.Data due out Friday are expected to show growth in the three months ending in June fell as low as 7.3 percent, down from the previous quarter's nearly three-year low of 8.1 percent. That is in line with this year's official 7.5 percent target. But revenues for companies in construction, shipbuilding and export manufacturing are down by up to half compared with a year ago. The slowdown is a setback for economies around the world that were looking to China to drive demand for exports and support global growth. ___ Fewer auto closings reduce US unemployment claims WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits plunged last week. But a big reason is that automakers have skipped some of their usual summer shutdowns to keep up with demand, causing fewer temporary auto layoffs. Economists expect the number of Americans seeking unemployment aid to go back up in coming weeks. The auto industry's recovery has helped support the struggling U.S. economy. U.S. auto sales in the first half of the year jumped 15 percent over the same period a year ago. Sales of new vehicles surged in June. Automakers also began Independence Day promotions early, lifting sales at the end of the month. ___ Yahoo's interim CEO faces off with shareholders SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â¿¿ Yahoo's restless shareholders let interim CEO Ross Levinsohn know that they won't give him much time to fix the troubled company if he gets the job on a permanent basis.

Room 421 (creepy)
- 18
Story of when I met the Ghost of room 421Room 421 is just another room to an outsider, it looks like all of the other rooms on my unit, tan walls, oak wood trim, deep red curtains, a television on the west wall, a small brown counter top, and a simple bathroom but there is more than meets the eyes
Mae was a 72 year old congestive heart failure patient who was sharp as a tack and always making jokes. She was what we called a frequent flyer, since her chronic condition flared up frequently landing her in the hospital. She was a sound sleeper and always in good sprits, which is why her current less than happy state on this sunny morning caught me off guard. I asked her how she was felling and she snapped, fine but tired!. Like any good nurse I asked her if she was having difficulty breathing and laying down to sleep. She knew the drill and responded back no my hearts doing fine today! It was all the giggling that kept me awake! I was puzzled by her statement since I was unsure who was giggling on a unit full of elderly cardiac patients so I brushed it off, and assured her I would make sure to let everyone know they needed to keep it down at night. She nodded and we went about our day.
The next morning I returned and had Mae on my assignment list. I enjoyed caring for patients I knew so I happily started my day by checking on her. Mae again insisted that someone was in her room at night giggling. This time I mentioned her complaint to my charge nurse who laughed at me and said is Mae in 421? I shook my head and quickly tried to figure out how my charge nurse knew Maes room without me telling her. Within a few minutes I had 3 senior nurses and my charge nurse trying to convince me that room 421 was haunted by a child from the pediatric unit who died a slow lonely death by cancer. The child was a foster child who only knew nursing staff as her family. Families tried to care for her but her illness always proved to be too much to handle and they gave her up time after time. That did not keep the little girl from fighting a long hard fight before passing away. I was not sure how I felt about hearing this story or if passing this information on to my patient was a good idea. Later that day I received discharge orders for Mae. So lips sealed about the story I sent Mae home.
About 2 months later I agreed to work midnights for a few months until a nurse returned from maternity leave. I had long forgotten the story of the giggling girl in room 421 but I was quickly reminded. I was making my 3 am rounds checking on all of my patients. I slipped into my patients room to ensure he was sleeping, safe, and not in any distress when I heard a rustling noise in his bathroom. I opened the bathroom door and did not see anything. Then I heard a little girlish giggle behind me. I turned around so fast I almost fell over. I could feel my heart racing in my chest and I could not get out of the room fast enough. I had not seen anything but that giggle I heard was plain as day. It sounded as if a young girl was standing right behind me giggling at me for falling for her bathroom noise joke and then getting scared. When I told the nurses in the station what had happened they all laughed at me and reassured me that the sweet giggling girls ghost would not harm me or my patients. They informed me that if my patient complains about the giggling they come up with an excuse to switch rooms.
I have never been a believer of ghosts but I guess I have never been a non-believer either. I just coasted through life never having an experience that made me ask myself, do I believe in ghosts? Now that I have heard and met the giggling girl who makes 421 her home I know that I am a believer in ghosts.
After doing some research to reassure myself I am not crazy I found that room 421 was once a room which isolation and critically ill children where placed. Many children took their last breath in that room. I believe at least one child is still alive and well in that room pulling harmless practical jokes on the nurses and giggling about it.Last edit by Joe V on Aug 22, '11

This one was quite bittersweet, but at least the "little girl ghost" is happy now.0Jul 26, '11 by BelleMorteRNSpooky! I don't do spooky well , i hope I don't encounter a ghost.

While reading your story it reminded of this movie and the hauntings that went on in that hotel room.
I'm surprised how well you and your unit are able to make light of the situation; the laughs from your nurses and the thought that they've become accustomed and comfortable to working in or around room 421. If it were me, I'd probably be on the first train out of there, and I'm a 30 year old male. Although I'd try to stay calm in that sort of situation I would dread working there for a long period of time. Two thumbs up to you and your unit!Last edit by xiongav on Aug 4, '110Aug 10, '11 by Doula 59At the hospital where I did my clinicals there were allegedy two floors that had ghosts one was related to a speficic room and the other was related to an old surgery operatory (this ghost was I think a nurse). I was happy that I did not have any interactions with them but several nurses knew about them and some had even had personal interactions. It was kind of freaky.

WASHINGTON, March 14, 2013 ― "Fraud." "Borrowing." Words have meanings. Different kinds of people, though, use them differently. At their worst, people use words that describe something entirely different from what they're saying.
"Reform" usually means, "to change for the better." Dishonest people use "reform" to mean "change to the way I like it." Think about what government means whenever the word "reform" is used in a bill. "Tax reform" means "higher taxes." "Immigration reform" means "ignoring criminals." And "fiscal reform" – you gotta love that one!
Let's give up on "reform," though. It's too easy a target, and honest people usually know that it means something completely different when they say it than when anybody in government says it. Let's pick a word that's still under the radar.
"Borrowing." Honest people know that "to borrow" means (thank you, Oxford Dictionary) to "take and use (something that belongs to someone else) with the intention of returning it."
Our government, after spending an unfathomable amount of money (and promising multiples more that it keeps off the balance sheet) again has come to the point where it needs to "borrow" more money. Not the ten bucks your nephew needs for his share of the pizza; we're talking trillions of dollars. Since George Bush's team of Wall street cronies decided to bail out Bear Stearns to the unheard-of tlune of $30 billion in 2008, our government has borrowed roughly $6 trillion (200 times the amount of the "one-time" Bear Stearns fiasco) more than it has been able to take from its people. The deficits have added $6 trillion to the national debt, which now stands at about $16.6 trillion.
That's all money we've borrowed. Government economists, Keynesians, media talking heads and other hacks say it doesn't matter, because "we borrow it from ourselves" through the Treasury and Federal Reserve's playing footsie. That isn't true, of course: The government borrows for themselves and their support groups ‒ and then the productive people have to pay it back.
But that's still too easy. "To borrow" always includes the intention to repay. The intention to repay implies some plan to repay. Our government has no intention to ever repay the national debt; and it clearly has no plan to do so, either.
That's not borrowing. That's lying. Making the promise to repay isn't just misguided. It's deliberate. "To deceive" is to "cause (someone) to believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage." That's certainly the motive. What's the act? Well, "to defraud" is to "illegally obtain money from (someone) by deception." Government does it legally, so it's not fraud, but it is deception. "To steal" is to "take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it." Here, again, if lawmakers declare it legal, it's not technically stealing, though the rest of the definition clearly fits.
So, what do we call a government that (legally) takes, through fraud, trillions of dollars that it has no intention to repay, by making deceitful use of financial and linguistic tricks? Words can't describe what our government is doing. We know it's not "reform," and we know it's not "borrowing." We know it includes in its major components, elements of theft and fraud and deceit.
We need a new word for these people. "Fraudceitful?" "Perfraudulent?" "Crooked?" What's your entry?

Discussion from The Chainlink about Being Car Free in Chicago
by juliehochstadter | 08/10/2010
From Thechainlink.org, a social network for cyclists in Chicago. Thought this would be a great place to share car free thoughts....
Link is here, but I have also posted the question below. -
Quite a few threads have me wondering what your lifestyle is like that it doesn't necessitate owning a car. I think it is great that you are able to live car free, but I am wondering how this is. Many people have expressed the feeling of freedom that comes with not owning car, but for me it feels like a lack of.
CarFree in Chicago: The How-To Guide
by kellyburns | 05/17/2010
When I mention that I don't have a car, invariably the first reaction by my well-meaning friends and family is a shocked, "You don't?!?" followed by, "Why not?!?" It's like I've casually mentioned that I removed my own legs. Believe it or not, humans didn't always get around by sitting in a metal box that runs on "dead dinosaur juice." There are plenty of great reasons to consider going car-free - mainly that cars are the #1 cause of global warming, exceeding even the damage done by coal-burning power plants. Going car-free is definitely the greenest thing a consumer can do.
Knowing this sobering fact, when it came time to replace my car this past January, I decided to see if I 'had it what it takes' to go car-free. Not only did I save a ton of money and make my life a lot simpler, I gleaned some tips for anyone else who might be thinking about dumping their gas guzzler as well:

Most Desired Features of Celebs Via PS
i can tell u i -dont- desire the angelina jolie lips on that list!!!!!
You're probably one of the few! ;)
I would have to agree with the author, who is surprised that Fergie's body is on that list. Don't you think her body looks like a boy's?
In some ways yes ... but there's something about her I find attractive. Maybe her inner strength shines through . ;)
Really I think most of the celebs on there are NOT HOT! Taylor has delicious abs but does Brad Pitt still have it going on?
Brad Pitt is attractive, but I would have to agree he is far from the "sexiest man alive" category.

Smartphones have made many a time that I had less boredom when shit that I sidings still caught, because I knew I must hurry and that I was able to consult with a group of people to have to call individually without any. Last but not least I also use the Twitter client very intense and uncle Maps question, if I threaten to run me. And deflection by the minicomputer is anyway always better than dealing with the sheep herd in the S-Bahn. And yet, I've started this, penetrating than any Tamagotchi to hate calling attention to things.
A screen for a plurality of apps
As it was still only WhatsApp, this criticism was certainly less significant, but now have accumulated on my smartphone Telegram, Threema, kik messenger, Viber and Voxer and slowly it is then but a bit much. Especially since I still write the way via Google Hangouts with my closest friends. Maybe it sounds at first after complaining on a high level of, but in spite Quad Core processor, it takes several seconds until the app is closed and the other one is open. That is alone by switching between the messengers valuable time is lost that could be used sensibly. Apart from that I have to constantly remember who has now written where and at the end again see through kik for mac, because it could be that I missed a message and now someone is mad because I'm twittering yes, but apparently no time have to answer a simple question. That's just pure stress. This may perhaps not be regarded as Teen – at least I saw it 10 years ago (Nokia Communicator)) significantly different, but now that my professional life has packed and I do not spend more hours in front of electronic media, it is really hard on me, every human being, whether digital or analog learned to cope.
Of course I will submit myself unwillingly, so I am doing this stress is not usually what then but mostly it ends, the people are pissed off and think they're not important to me. That the day has only 24 hours, you forget just once quickly.
Why think when Google has in the bag?
I'm about to become a civil engineer on the way and I really should head right can add up. But what ever, if I do all the time – contrary to what my math teacher always preached at that time – a calculator in your pocket have? Even the everyday questions you ergooglet quickly and because this option is always available, can the knowledge ergoogelte also conveniently forget it, after all, the result is indeed loaded faster next time, thanks cache. )
Battery empty, and nu?
Why I only write this article and therefore my biggest hate point in smartphones is the battery. Is this a once empty, it is yet to be stuck straight. Suddenly there are strangers around you that, because you're just not acting very busy one, and could not respond. And who to tell, how shit that looked and what they have asked oh so stupid, when the uplink to Twitter does not work?
Instead of this, you may be very familiar, reaction I put my smartphone in the current case just once in the pocket and not withdrawn. Surely the latter would have been rather pointless, but at least what would previously not stop me from taking a panacea again in the hand and annoyed and disappointed groan, because the screen remains blank when I press the power button. Imagine, instead, I looked this agonizingly long 10-minute train ride over from the window and I hardly dare me to say it, but I'm afraid I've even thought about it. Ghastly, is not it?
How can the whole escape permanently?
So now my blog entries are so far away from any guides and tutorials, actually I only write what I think and I am happy when reading a shit and place. Or alternatively well. )
Personally, I flee from the dictatorship of my smartphone the hard way: I ignore it. Before that, I told everyone who does not read this blog here (so really everyone;)) that I ignore him not, but my phone from time to time and hope that he does not feel pissed off when I still tweet with this tool and how do I avoid that I absolutely verdumme is so obvious: Same thinking and mental arithmetic, rather than assign these responsibilities to a computer. If I think it through – and I presume – my battery will hold in the near future a lot longer.
Hey, where you take my humble opinion ever note, you tell me no matter how you react, if you will not answer immediately, but you can see that the person who should really respond to is running on a different channel. I would be delighted. )
But how do I react when someone does not reply to a private message twitters depends on the declaration and the personal relationship.
If you told me that you sometimes ignored from and to the phone, that's fine. If what is really really important, I call you to stop. Otherwise, I wait patiently and remember, if necessary, after a few days again to my message.
With a tighter personal relationship, however, the period of patient waiting is shorter. Not because I so want this but because it is so easy. Finally, I answer to the people who stand me always write my personal priority list after and in a close personal relationship, it is hoped the others, too high on this list.
