Street Photography for dummiesWhat do we need to shoot a Street picture?1. A camera Whatever kind of a camera is good. Either it is a ridiculously expensive rangefinder or an unbelievably cheap point and shoot compact. Either it shoots digital or it shoots film. Either it weighs a ton or it weighs few grams. ANY camera is fine as long as you have it with you.2. A public place This can be out in the streets or at the beach or inside a hotel's lounge or in a diner place or inside a supermarket or a mall or a school or whatever PUBLIC place. This public place must be visible in our picture. And things must be happening in this public place.3. People Exactly, people! We need people in candid situations. Definition of "candid" from Merriam-Webster's online dictionary: "subjects acting naturally or spontaneously without being posed" Definition of "candid" from Wikipedia: Candid photography is best described as un-

The story behind the shot - v.3Do you also want to share your experiences and be featured?Here is how to: The story behind the shot Place de la Contrescarpe by SUDORSince the age of five years, I made pictures with the camera of my father, then in the 60's with my own cameras. But in 1970, I really started to photograph in my suburban and especially in the streets of Paris. 1972 was photographically an important year for me. At that time, my camera was an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, perhaps the finest ever built apparieil. I worked as a typographer in a small print of the Latin Quarter. Behind the Pantheon, there is a place, the Place de la Contrescarpe, very old and which was the meeting place of all the tramps. This is where this photo was taken. I do not like pictures of the misery, but there are situations wh

How They Did It: The Story Behind the ShotHTDI:TSBTS aims to guide emerging photographers by showcasing tips, techniques, and stories generously shared by some of dA's most accomplished Photography > Animals, Plants & Nature artists. At the same time, we hope to shed light on the often overlooked amount of effort that is required to create striking images like these. Making a great photograph takes time, planning, a creative eye, and solid photography skills. What happens behind the lens is just as important as the final product!I am sure many of you have been told "Great photo! You must have an awesome camera!" or "Wow, you sure were lucky to get that shot!" While a "good camera" and "luck" are small ingredients when creating a visual feast, we photographers would like to remind everyone that technical competency, determination, patience, and creative vision are the real meat and potatoes of any tasty photo."Was it luck that I happened to wake up at 3am fi

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FEATURESTREET ON DAdA, as any community on the internet has its pro's and con's. For me the best part of dA has been The Yard Collective The-Yard-Collective, a group for street photography aficionados of all skill levels from all corners of the world. For the last year I have had the priviledge of leading this group, but as of today this is no longer the case. Instead NunoCanha is its new Skipper.Anway, it was a blast and as a tribute to The Yards members as well as to the genre of street photography itself, I below showcase some of my favorite images that belong to the group. (Sorry fellow group admins, only non-admin members only, after all, they are the blood that is being pumped through the groups vains.)
Ruth OrkinOrkin grew up in Hollywood where her mother was a silent-film actress and in 1939 she studied photojournalism. At the age of 10 she received her first camera, a 39 cent Univex, and two years later Orkin began to develop her photographs herself, and when she was eighteen she made national headlines when she rode a bicycle from Los Angeles to New York for the 1939 World's Fair. Of course she photographed along the way.In 1943 she moved to New York and began working as a nightclub photographer and shot baby pictures by day to buy her first professional camera.She later became a successful freelance photographer, traveling all over the world and contributing to Life, Look, Ladies' Home Journal and other periodicals.Orkin is best known for her naturalistic urban portrayals of Europeans and New Yorkers in the '40s, '50s and '60s, and for a series of photos she took from her New York City apartment with a view of Central Park (A World Through My Window, 1978 and More Pictures

Count me in, can't wait until it's out.
I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. During the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me? Because, says the Lord, Sandpeople always ride single-file, to hide their numbers.
Someone fill me in on these videos?

America's top Africa man came to Kenya on Tuesday. To sighs of relief across the continent, Johnnie Carson — a widely respected diplomat with broad on-the-ground Africa experience — has replaced Jendayi Frazer, who was not well-liked, largely because she was seen as viewing Africa exclusively through the prism of the war on terror.
Carson, recently sworn in as assistant secretary of state for African affairs, swung through South Africa pressing the flesh at President Jacob Zuma's inauguration before stopping in Kenya. His visit underlines both Kenya's enduring importance as a continental bellwether and the depth of concern over where it is heading.
Kenya's coalition government was forced into being a little over a year ago, ending politically motivated violence that killed about 1,500 people after disputed elections in late 2007. Since then President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga have failed to achieve almost anything. Reforms have not been implemented. No one has faced justice for the murder and mayhem of last year. As tribal divisions paralyze government business, frustrations are growing among ordinary Kenyans.
"The political tensions must not be allowed to turn into a political crisis, and a political crisis must not be allowed to turn into political violence," Carson warned after meeting both Kibaki and Odinga.
Carson took up his post only last week. During almost four decades in the State Department he traveled to 40 out of the 48 states of sub-Saharan Africa, served as a diplomat in six and as an ambassador in three. Before all that Carson was a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania.
As expected, Carson's speech to the U.S. Senate in late April, ahead of his appointment, marked no major policy changes from the Bush administration, but did demonstrate his impressive knowledge of Africa.
The U.S. has influence in Kenya not just because it is Kenya's biggest foreign donor but because of President Barack Obama, regarded by many Kenyans as a son of the soil since his father was born here. The U.S. needs Kenya too: It may not have much oil but is seen as a buffer against Islamist extremism that might flood in from Somalia to the north.
"We came here not to threaten but to warn a friend about a deep concern," Carson said. Let's hope Kenya's politicians are listening.

BRISBANE, Australia — Torrential rain over the weekend flooded several towns in eastern Australia, and three deaths were reported Monday.
Video was released of the dramatic rescue of a baby and his mother. The toddler had to be placed in a bag to be lifted onto the helicopter since there wasn't a body harness large enough for the boy.
Downtown businesses in the Queensland state capital Brisbane were inundated while 1,200 properties were flooded by record-high waters in the city of Bundaberg 385 kilometers (240 miles) to the north.
Helicopters were used to rescue 18 people from the roofs of their homes in Bundaberg, Australian Associated Press reported. The town's population is 98,000.
Queensland police on Monday confirmed that three people had died in flood waters since the weekend.
There was also flooding in the Queensland towns of Gladstone, Gympie and Ipswich.
The heavy rain was caused by the remnants of a tropical cyclone that hit the country last week and also brought severe weather including tornadoes. Several high-water rescues have taken place.

I love using hickory wood chips when I am cooking outdoors. It gives whatever I am cooking a really nice taste, and the smell is great.
Has anyone ever used apple wood chips when they were grilling? I see them at the store, but I have never tried them, because they cost more than the hickory. I am usually not very keen on trying new things, either, especially when I like the system I have used for a long time.
What is the taste of food with the apple chips compared to hickory? I have heard some people also mention that they use a combination of hickory and apple chips when they are grilling or using a smoker. Has anyone ever tried this? Besides those two types of chips, are there any other good woods that you would suggest for grilling?

Methyl Ice Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
After making it through a bulking cycle, the bodybuilder will typically take a fat burner to reduce body fat and rid the body of excess water. If a prohormone is taken during bulking, PCT is also needed. Methyl Ice is a fat burner that contains liver support. The liver support is added because prohormones can cause liver damage.
It is important to note that this supplement is not formulated for the average dieter. The stimulants are stronger than normal and come with a longer list of potential side effects. There is a mood booster and diuretic ingredient in the formula as well.
List of Ingredients
Thermogenic Energy Amplification: Caffeine Anhydrous, Green Tea Extract, Thiamine Disulfide Butyrate, Theobromine, b-Phenylethylamine, 1,3 Dimethylamylamine, Methyl-Synephrine and Evodiamine.
Thyroid Stimulation Blend: N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine and 3,5 Diiodo-L-Thyronine.
Water Explusion Matrix: Dandelion Root and Vitamin B6.
Liver Support and Detoxification Blend: N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, Milk Thistle and Vitamin C.
Product Features
Methyl Ice takes the cake when it comes to post bulking fat burn. The stimulant matrix includes caffeine and green tea – proven fat burners. But, it also contains phenylethylamine and 1,3 dimethylamylamine. Phenylethylamine is a mood booster that can cause severe mood swings if the bodybuilder or dieter has a history of mental illness. The 1,3 Dimethylamylamine is associated with heart palpitations in some cases.
Creatine and prohormones typically cause water retention, so this supplement includes a diuretic. Diuretics are taken by most bodybuilders, but dandelion root is not the most effective ingredient. Typically, the bodybuilder will take more than one diuretic to reduce water weight.
Liver support is included as part of the post cycle therapy. Prohormones may cause liver damage and thus PCT is necessary. This is not a complete PCT, so a standalone PCT supplement is still needed.
- Ingredients are clearly listed at the top of the product description.
- The formula includes proven fat burners.
- Diuretics are included to reduce water retention.
- Available for sale from the manufacturer.
- Part of a complete line of bodybuilding supplements.
- Not designed for the dieter.
- Will likely cause negative side effects from overstimulation.
- Should not be taken by bodybuilders with a history of mental illness.
Methyl Ice is more than a fat burner. This product may cause side effects including jitters, insomnia, mood swings and dehydration. The liver support blend is not strong enough to qualify as a PCT and should not be used in place of PCT. Dieters need to choose a proven fat burner without the added ingredients that could cause negative side effects. Before taking this supplement, even the most seasoned bodybuilder should start low and work up to a full dose.

Keep up to date with the latest news and updates from Mary Free Bed by subscribing to our newsletter.
I was born in 1954, and have lived in the Grand Rapids area all of my life. I received a B.A. in 1982 from Aquinas College and then obtained a Master's of Social Work in 1984 at Michigan State University. I worked in the field of social work for more than 25 years.
Due to a childhood injury, I struggled with increasing back pain that eventually led to three successive back surgeries within four years. I began taking pictures while participating in physical rehabilitation after my first back surgery. I would walk a minimum of two miles a day, always carrying a camera and taking shots of birds, flowers, butterflies and anything that caught my eye. I did not have any formal training in photography but did seem to have a good eye for nature. I have been shooting pictures for the last six years and use these pictures as a reference for my paintings.
Five years ago, after my third back surgery left me with many hours of solitude, I began working with watercolor pencils. The anesthesia left me with aphasia and I withdrew into the world of art and images. After a year of speech therapy, I began to show the world the gift I received from the adversity and complications of the last surgery.
I have had no formal training in the field of art, yet I won three Guild Purchase Awards from Mary Free Bed art exhibits. I have gained entrance into the Celebration of the Arts, a Festival of Spiritual Arts, and won the Legacy Trust Prize. Finally, I have shown pieces of my work in ArtPrize and Art Peers. I continue to practice and work with my gift on a daily basis. I believe that my ability to draw and paint is the gift I received in exchange for the loss of my speech.

The 22-year-old singer admitted to On Air with Ryan Seacrest moments after exiting the stage last night: "The feeling right now is bittersweet because it's over so that's the bitter part, but the sweet is me and Candice can both go and start our careers and that's an amazing feeling because the whole reason I wanted to … have longevity and I get to go do that now, I hope."
So what was going through her mind during her final Idol moments? "Everyone kept saying you're so both too calm for this."

But Kree explains it was due to a lack of nerves. "Honestly, we already feel like we made it. This whole experience has been much more than we could have ever imagined and we're so proud of each other and everybody and we get to go on tour now."
The experience also left Kree sharing her personal life — the tragic loss of both of her parents at a young age — with millions of TV viewers.
Did she ever regret telling her story? "I think there was times where it become hard for me to talk about it because it is a story, but I feel like everybody has a story that will break your heart and at the end of the day it's not my whole story. It's just a part of me. I thought it was important to share because this is also me as an artist and a person."

As for that nickname that judge Nicki Minaj gave her, Kreedom. "[Even] my family calls me that now!"

Trailer for "The short game" Exec-prod by JT & Biel
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are executive producers of a short film, The Short Game, which is out in theatres Sept 30th! Directed by Emmy award-winning director Josh Greenbaum, The Short Game won the 2013 South by Southwest (SXSW) Audience Award for Documentary Features and has been getting rave reviews.
The film is about eight of the best 7-year-old golfers in the world training for and compete in the World Championships of Junior Golf.
Said the director Greenbaum, a recent father of twin girls, "While I'm not a golfer, I've always been fascinated, and perhaps more importantly, incredibly entertained by kids this age. I find their unabashed confidence coupled with their innocent naiveté makes for a very funny combination of inspiration and unexpected wisdom. And while the film may appear on the surface to be about kid golfers, it quickly becomes about much more."
Said Jessica and Justin: "We are thrilled to be a part of THE SHORT GAME, a film whose message is one of positivity and perseverance – not to mention eight adorable and hilarious kids who can no doubt teach us a few things on the golf course."

Inside Llewyn Davis theatrical trailer
As if this day couldn't get any better. Here is the theatrical trailer for Inside Llewyn Davis:
From Indiewire:
While any Joel and Ethan Coen movie is worth waiting for, many of us are champing at the bit to see "Inside Llewyn Davis," their portrait of the 60s Greenwich Village folk scene that spawned Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mimi and Richard Farina and the inspiration for this film, Dave Van Ronk. Some of us hoped to see the film loosely based on Van Ronk's memoir "The Mayor of MacDougal Street" in time for the 2012 holiday season, but it's more likely to turn up in Coen-friendly Cannes.
We got our hands on an exclusive invite from Nonesuch Records and T Bone Burnett to a special early preview screening on February 9 on the Sony lot, with a link to the first "Inside Llewyn Davis" trailer. The Coens and producer Scott Rudin (Oscar-winner "No Country for Old Men," "True Grit") made the movie with backing from Canal Plus and no domestic distributor.
Accompanied by Dylan, the trailer's exquisite photography by Jean-Pierre Jeunet cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel takes me back to my NYC youth. It provides tantalizing glimpses of folk singer Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) navigating the Village scene with guitar and cat, tangling with his love interest (Isaac's "Drive" co-star Carey Mulligan) who gives him a hard time and crashing a recording session with musicians Justin Timberlake ("The Social Network") and Adam Driver ("Girls"). Also in the film are Garrett Hedlund (who sang in "Country Strong"), John Goodman ("Argo") and F. Murray Abraham as a club owner who wants Davis to perform for him in order to land a gig at his club.
The trailer leaves us panting for more.
Trouble with the curve out in cinemas today!
Yay! Trouble with the Curve is officially out today in cinemas across the United States. It stars the legendary Clint Eastwood, the sweet Amy Adams and of course the forever charming Justin Timberlake!
If you are a sports fanatic, or enjoy laid back/feel good movies this is the right choice. You will also fall in love with Justin's character. No doubt! So make sure you see it and share what you think of it in the comments and/or Timberbiel.
Here's an exclusive MUST-SEE clip of Clint and Amy talking about working with Justin on the film, Trouble With The Curve!! Check it out! It also features new scenes from the movie.
Critics review Trouble with the curve
Trouble with the curve has received mixed reviews from the critics but they have been fairly good for the most part. Check out some great reviews of the movie & Justin's performance below:
One thing the script does so well is tell a few parallel stories with increasing confidence. A colleague after this afternoon's screening noted the classical nature of this, which is a good point. You don't see it often (in this case, Gus and Mickey's story is told against the backdrop of a discovery yarn about a young up-and-coming high school player), but there's also the added virtue of a love story that actually works quite nicely.
And that's where Justin Timberlake comes in. I bought him fully as a fellow scout of Gus's (formerly scouted himself, with echoes of "Moneyball") with eyes for Mickey
The actors' effortless interplay is full of tetchy, bickersome humor, but also believably steeped in the characters' shared history, the defining incident of which will be unpacked in somewhat heavy-handed flashbacks. Fortunately, the film frequently shifts its focus from Mickey's daddy issues toward her slowly blossoming relationship with Johnny, an expected but winning development that affords no shortage of charming moments between Adams and the ever-appealing Timberlake.
Eastwood, taking a rare respite from the directing reins, is at ease in the role, never hitting a false note as he creates a three-dimensional man and very recognizable character finally dealing with everything he's neglected as he nears the end of his career and life. This is Eastwood the way we love to see him: the performance he was born to give, and his best in years. His chemistry with Adams is perfection and you root for these two despite the curves thrown in their own relationship. Timberlake also scores, as the former pop star is surprisingly engaging as a young scout with an eye both for players but also Adams.
Also here is a critical acclaim trailer where we finally see Justin & Amy engage in a romantic kiss. How sweet:
Lots of Trouble with the Curve Goodies
Well…What a great way to start the day. Warner Bros has released TONS of Trouble with the Curve goodies. There are interviews with the cast, the first clips of the movie and behind the scenes b-rolls.
Justin's character in 'Curve' is so incredibly likeable. You just can't help but fall in love with him.
He is funny, handsome and charming in this film. What more can you ask for?
I'd go ahead and say he is just playing himself because that's the way he is in real life.
Enjoy below. There's even more stuff at traileraddict:
'Curve' to close Tokyo fest + TV Spot

Bob Greczyn column: I want more money, less competition
Posted By Adam Linker On August 31, 2009 @ 4:06 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
[1]Blue Cross CEO Bob Greczyn, whose company is doing just fine [2] during the recession, has a letter [3] today in The Herald Sun calling on Congress to enact reforms that will net his company hundreds of thousands of new customers without any meaningful competition from a public option.
Greczyn even gets downright literary quoting H.L. Mencken; Mencken was of course a natural ally of multimillionaire insurance company executives. Greczyn's column even reminded me of another Mencken quote:
The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.
And Greczyn must think we are idiots. He thinks North Carolinians are going to buy his argument that a public option will "undermine private-sector insurance and harm doctors, hospitals and other health care professionals." If we have reform and a public option insurance companies will still make boatloads of money. If we have reform and no public option insurance companies stand to make astronomical sums. That's why insurance execs are fighting so hard against competition.
By the way, the American Medical Association has endorsed [4] the House bill, which includes a public option. And I know many doctors who would prefer we eliminate private insurance — after all, Mr. Greczyn isn't providing much care for our premium dollars.
So let's stop grubbing for extra dimes, Blue Cross. And, just so you know, it's not President Obama or anyone else demonizing you. No one needs to demonize you — you do that well enough on your own.

Movement Disorders: Generalized Dystonia
Guest: Dr. Vanessa Hinson - Neurology
Host: Dr. Linda Austin – Psychiatry
Dr. Linda Austin: I'm Dr. Linda Austin. I'm interviewing Dr. Vanessa Hinson who is Assistant Professor of Neurology and Director of the Movement Disorders Program here at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Hinson, you're an expert in the treatment of a movement disorder called a dystonia. Just what is a dystonia?
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: A dystonia is an abnormal muscle contraction. And, interestingly, the origin of the dystonia is not the muscle itself, but the brain. The brain basically gives patients with dystonia an abnormal signal to then respond with an abnormal and often painful muscle contraction. The dystonia can manifest itself in the whole body in the form of a generalized dystonia or it can be focal, isolated to one specific body part.
Patients with focal dystonias have muscle contractions in one isolated body part, for example, their neck, where they have a twisted neck posture that can be painful. These patients are unable to turn the head fully left or right, front or back, so they're very restricted in their movement and have painful muscle spasms. The focal dystonias can also affect the hand, in the form of writer's cramp, for example, where a patient tries to write and suddenly the hand assumes a painful contracture and the patient is unable to complete their writing task. So, those would be focal dystonias, whereas a generalized dystonia, a patient would have spasms in the back muscles, the neck muscles as well as the eye and leg muscles, might not be able to walk or sit if not treated.
Dr. Linda Austin: So, would something as simple and common as a charley horse that wakes you up in the middle of the night, a leg spasm, be considered a dystonia?
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: That is not considered a dystonia. A dystonia, per definition, is a sustained abnormal muscle contraction. So, a patient, before we diagnose with dystonia, would come with a typical history of, my neck is turning to the left constantly and there's nothing I can do to correct that. Or, if it affects the eye muscles, they would say, my eyes are constantly pulled shut because my eye muscles are pulling all the time, and, how can we help that? It wouldn't be an isolated incident.
Dr. Linda Austin: I see. So, waking up with a stiff neck that resolves in the course of a day, that is not a dystonia?
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: That is not a dystonia, whereas, if the stiff neck persists, over months, that could possibly be a dystonia and we would have to look at that more closely.
Dr. Linda Austin: Let's talk first about the generalized dystonia. What causes that?
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: Often times generalized dystonia is genetic. Actually, the DYT1 gene mutation is the most common cause of generalized dystonia. Often times children are affected, young children, first, with an abnormal muscle spasm in one leg, and then later their back might be affected and their arms and neck as well. These youngsters usually have a positive family history where a relative is affected with the same disorder as it is autosomal dominant, which means that 50 percent of the children of an affected adult can have the dystonia as well. So, this often times runs in families.
Dr. Linda Austin: How severe can that become? Can it become really disabling?
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: Generalized dystonias are the most severe cases of dystonias and more rare than the focal ones. Generalized dystonia is very severe and often times affected subjects cannot sit in a chair because their muscles pull so much that they cannot sit up right. Sometimes they come to my office and have to lie on the stretcher or on a bed the whole time that we talk. They have difficulty walking. They have difficulty swallowing, chewing food. This can be quite dramatic. And in those instances, often times we have to resort to surgical treatment options to correct the disorder.
Dr. Linda Austin: How successful are those surgical treatments?
Dr. Linda Austin: Surgical treatment is indicated for patients who fail, of course, other treatment approaches, with medication by mouth or injections with certain chemodenervation therapeutics. The surgery for dystonia is called deep brain stimulation (DBS). And, with deep brain stimulation we can calm a lot of these excessive muscle contractions down to an extent where the patient can be comfortable, they can sit in a chair. They can walk much more normally than before. And they can regain a lot of their quality of life that the dystonia might have taken from them. The surgery is relatively new. It's only been done for a few years. And we're one of the few centers is this country to offer it.
Dr. Linda Austin: Who, here, does that surgery?
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: Dr. Istvan Takacs, from the stereotactic neurosurgery program, is our surgeon. Usually, patients see me first to get my input, whether the surgery would be helpful in their case, and then they're referred to Dr. Takacs for another look and planning of the surgical procedure.
Dr. Linda Austin: Do you know what percent of cases have a reasonably successful outcome from that surgery?
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: If one has a genetic form of dystonia, if one takes the blood test for the DYT1 gene that I was talking about earlier, there's a very good chance, in the range of 80 percent, that one gets dramatically better. If one has a generalized dystonia and does not have that particular genetic abnormality, I would say that the chances are more in the 60 percent range of substantial improvement. We do see improvement to some degree in all patients who go to surgery. The question is, how dramatic will it be? And, in the gene-positive patients, we see very dramatic improvements, whereas, in the other category of patients, there will still be improvement, but maybe not to an extent compared to the gene-positive patient.
Dr. Linda Austin: But you mentioned that before a patient gets to surgery, you try medications first, so those must be reasonably effective as well? Is that correct?
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: Medications, I would say, in severe generalized dystonia, can be helpful to alleviate pain and some of the excessive contractions. But, once a patient reaches a stage where they can't sit in a chair or they can't walk, they probably need surgery, and by-mouth medications are not going to be potent enough to relieve this problem.
Dr. Linda Austin: Dr. Hinson, let's talk about the focal dystonia in another podcast. Thanks so much.
Dr. Vanessa Hinson: Thank you.

years in practice: 24 / projects completed in 2010: 8 / firm size: 6 / areas of interest: single-family, commercial, institutional / website: www.mcinturffarchitects.com
For all the globalizing changes wrought by advances in communication technology, residential architecture remains overwhelmingly a local matter. And that suits Mark McInturff, FAIA, just fine. Architecture and armies need the same thing, he insists: "A small number of heroes and a large number of soldiers." For nearly a quarter-century, McInturff Architects has been content to offer its neighbors in the Washington, D.C., area the opportunity to build or rebuild with access to the full range of modernist expression. But while the focus of the work is local, its quality has drawn broader recognition, in the form of national design awards and publication in national magazines.
"I think Washington is one of the great urban designs in the world," McInturff says. "It's also largely based on a classical tradition. But it's been proven over and over that modernism can fit into both situations." McInturff, who cites influences from Wright to Mies, has done well in creating each design anew, without resting on his previous work. More than a signature style, the firm's portfolio reflects an enthusiastic handling of detail, emphasizing and celebrating, rather than eliding, material connections.
And, befitting a local practice, the firm's buildings do share a certain native quality that derives from a subtle appropriation of regional materials and motifs. "Even though we're modernists," McInturff explains, "we have no interest in throwing out the past."
What is the most gratifying aspect of residential practice?
The emotional engagement of the clients; they really care about what they're doing.
What is the most frustrating aspect?
See above.
What is your mission statement or firm goal?
To do the very best job we can with whatever our clients and we can bring to bear.
What is the most indispensable tool in your office?
The No. 2 pencil. The computer hasn't replaced that yet.
What software does your firm use?
For myself: SketchUp. It's changed my life. I can sit in front of the computer for hours and work with that. It's so engaging.
For everyone else: ArchiCAD.
Who is your ideal client?
A spirited, creative person who doesn't have time to design a building.
What is your favorite building?
Le Corbusier's Church at Firminy.
If you didn't have the time to design your own house, who would you hire?
It would be my son, Jeff, who just started graduate school at the University of Maryland School of Architecture. Otherwise, it would be W.G. Clark Architects, in Charlottesville, Va.

Concierge.com's insider take:
This longtime South Beach standby, decorated with brightly colored murals, serves some of the bestand best-presentedHaitian food in Miami. It's a welcome break from Cuban fritters and toxically sweet cafecito. It's a bargain, too: You'll struggle to spend more than $10 for an entrée. (Our favorite is the goat in a peppery tomato broth.) Go on a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights for live jazz and folk music.
Dinner only.

Cyto Review
If there's a DSM-IV of video game character mental disorders, then half of it must be taken up with amnesia. Game designers love amnesia, because it provides an easy excuse to explain things that a character should already know. There's no evidence that players love amnesia as much as game designers do, but it's an innocuous cliche and games like Cyto can rise above it. In Cyto, the amnesiac hero is a stretchable cell floating Read More

Everybody has a reason. Maybe they're telling you what you want to hear. Could be they'll get a bonus if they sell you product "A". Heck, they may simply have forgotten to mention it. Bottom line, there's something your car insurance company or agent isn't telling you that might save you money. And it could be one of these 8 things:
Have a car that's 7 or 8 years old? Is it worth less than $2,500? That's the time to start thinking about taking the risk and dropping comp and collision premiums from your policy. The reason why? Chances are your deductible is closing in on the value of your car and any major collision will send you to the dealership, anyway.
With everything being bundled today – from cell phones to Internet and cable TV – you'd think that having your home and auto insurance bundled at the same company would save money. But, do your research, and you may discover that having separate policies can be well worth it. Good rates abound for both types of insurance – but it's rare to find the lowest rate for both from the same company. So, unless you buy an umbrella policy, there's no overriding reason to keep your policies together if you can save.
You may tell an agent that you can only afford the minimum car insurance required by law. And some agents may be more than happy to provide you with that policy – and then get you out the door so the next paying customer can step in. What he may neglect to tell you is that in some states – particularly Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Nevada, New Jersey and Oklahoma – state-mandated limits are ridiculously low. And there's a good chance those minimums won't even come close to covering the costs of a serious accident. Which means you could be paying WAY more than you bargained for if you're at fault.
A State Farm agent only quotes State Farm. Same for Allstate. So what are the chances their agent will tell you to shop around for the best deal? Even independent agents only represent a few auto insurers, so how do you know what's fair? Shopping for and comparing services online from companies like Insurance.com allows you to fine-tune the deductibles and coverage you want and then compare auto insurance rates side-by-side. All in one place. All at one time.
Even auto insurance companies are green – offering discounts that will trim a bit off your premium. Look for things like a discount for driving a hybrid, for opting for paperless statements or electronic payment plans. Even signing your policy with an e-signature can save you some pennies. Basically, the less the company has to spend on paper, the more they'll pass those savings on to you.
Naturally, you don't really want to hear that, but if you've backed into the garage, think twice about asking your company to repair it. Why? Besides the possibility that your rates will go up at the time of renewal, the next time you shop for new insurance, many insurance companies will use an insurance history report to see if you've made any car insurance claims, and how much money was paid. Although accidents can only affect your rates for three years, many companies will look back five or more years when deciding if they want to offer you insurance. Having more claims will affect that result.
All vehicles are not created equal. Small or large, old or new, the type of car you drive will affect the size of the premium you pay, often based on algorithms insurance companies use to determine how expensive it might be to pay a claim. That'll affect how much your premium will be. Even more reason to shop around for the best deal.
If your teenager has turned 16 but isn't a licensed driver, you're not required to add them to your insurance policy. You're only required to insure them once they become licensed to drive. That also means in most instances you don't have to insure them if they just have a learning permit. But check. Some policies may require it.

The Industry That Consumers Trust the Least: Banks
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- The fallout from the big bank bailout hasn't gone away, as a new study of global consumers show banks at the bottom of the bunch when it comes to consumer trust.
The good news for customers is that that financial services firms recognize the challenge, and have some action steps ready to earn that trust back -- if consumers will let them.
The study was generated by Edelman Insights. The data was collected not just in the U.S., but also from bank consumers in 25 countries across the globe.
A new study shows that consumers trust the banking industry the least. |
Pretty much across the board, global financial consumers view banks dimly, with a significant "decline in trust," Edelman reports.
"Once again, banks and financial services declined in trust, and were the two least trusted sectors with France, Spain, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea recording the most severe drops," the study says. "Technology remained the most trusted sector globally." One of the world's least trusted institutions - the media - saw an increase in trust from consumers, interestingly from what survey respondents said was a good job in reporting on the worldwide financial crisis, especially in Europe. "As the media landscape dimensionalizes and delivers a wider range of options, it is becoming more trusted," offers Alan VanderMolen, President and CEO at Edelman in a statement. "The media also did an exceptional job this past year of covering the financial problems throughout the EU." The survey actually splits the financial sector in two, with "banks" (at 47% in terms of consumer trust) and "financial services" (45%) at the very bottom of the study's scale. Edelman says that consumer perceptions of global institutions very much depends on where people live - and how things are going regionally. Japan, for example, suffered a devastating earthquake and tsunami last spring, and that hangover has soured the perceptions of industries overall in the country. Consumer trust in Japan fell 20% on banks; 46% on energy; 21% on media; and 17% on financial services. South Korea, which was hit hard during the global recession, saw a 25 percentage point decline in trust in financial services year over year from 64% to 39%.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Royal Musical Association (RMA) SymposiumDate: 8 & 9 May 2009 Time: 10.00-18.30 (Fri); 10.00-15.30 (Sat) NOSTALGIA & INNOVATION IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY FRENCH MUSIC Call for Papers Location: Jack Hylton Music Rooms, Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, Lancaster University Dates: Friday 08 & Saturday 09 May 2009 Keynote Speaker: Prof. Nigel Simeone (University of Sheffield) Programme Committee: Dr Deborah Mawer (Lancaster University; Chair); Richard Langham Smith (Royal College of Music, London); Rachel Moore (Royal Holloway, University of London); Adam Greig (Lancaster University) Organisers: Adam Greig and Philip Purvis (Lancaster University) Following the Exposition Universelle of 1889, French music became increasingly dislocated between a rich, forgotten and imagined past and a future full of hope, expectation and excitement. This RMA Symposium seeks to explore how nostalgia and innovation influenced France's artistic climate from the fin de siècle until the end of the twentieth century. The harmonically adventurous invocations of 'the ancient' in the music of Debussy and Ravel; the playful milieu of the baroque and classical, sharpened with a twist of modernity, in the works of Stravinsky and Les Six; and the reconfigured romanticism and overt expressionism of Messiaen and Jolivet, are but a few examples of the past/future dichotomy which shaped and continues to impact upon much of France's artistic output. We invite 20-minute papers which approach any domain of French music research (whether historical, analytical, or critical) centring on the preoccupations with, and relationships between, the past and the future. Topical issues include: how the past/future dialectic has affected composers' outputs and shaped a distinctly French music; why interdisciplinary and collaborative modes have been so important in the development of a French artistic identity; what particular role nostalgia might play in current areas of French musicological research. Proposals should be submitted by email attachment in the form of a 200-word abstract with a separate cover-sheet (detailing name, contact details, institution and AV requirements). Proposals should be sent to Adam Greig (firstname.lastname@example.com) by 31 December 2008. General enquiries can be sent to the same address. The Programme Committee will assess the abstracts and successful candidates will be notified by 31 January 2009.

A 22-year-old man accused of posing as a teenager to become a high school basketball star in Texas pleaded not guilty to the six felony charges.
A spokesman for Guerdwich Montimer's attorney said Friday that Montimer waived his arraignment and entered not guilty pleas. Montimer is accused of two counts of sexual assault, three counts of tampering with government records and identity theft. Prosecutors say Montimer posed as a teenager named "Jerry
Joseph" and played basketball last year at Odessa Permian High School. The West Texas school's football team inspired the book
"Friday Night Lights."
The alleged fraud unraveled after coaches at an amateur basketball tournament said they recognized Montimer as a 2007 graduate of a Florida high school.

Students on edge after group of masked men terrorize Tigerland
POSTED: Friday, July 19, 2013 - 5:30pm
UPDATED: Saturday, July 20, 2013 - 3:50pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — After five people are robbed at gunpoint in Tigerland, students are on edge.
"I didn't know people were getting robbed right where I live, this is a college town. It should be pretty safe," said student Melisa Mueller.
A small group of masked men terrorized the Tigerland area early Friday morning managing to hold up and rob more than five people in just under an hour. Now students have said they're on edge, wondering if they could be next.
"It definitely is scary, it makes you more aware of your surroundings, where you're going, who you're with and stuff," Mueller said.
"Never go alone, you can't go alone. I know there were plenty of shootings by Tigerland right by Aster. You have to travel in groups, especially if you're a girl, you should never be with less than four or five people," added student Robert Smith.
But the problem was many of last night's victims were walking alone, leaving them outnumbered when they were approached by the group of men with guns.
"Just be aware of your surroundings. Know what's around you, keep your friends around, just know your surroundings. We're going to continue to patrol, continue to do what we do. We don't want anybody to feel unsafe, again just be aware of your surroundings," explained BRPD Cpl. Don Coppola.
The suspects are described as four black males, wearing dark clothes and bandanas over their mouths. Police haven't arrested anyone for the armed robberies yet. If you have any information about this crime you can call crime stoppers at (225) 344-STOP.

AN ICE BRIDGE BROUGHT THE FIRST PEOPLE to Greenland as far back as 2500 B.C., crossing by foot from Canada. There were a couple of false starts before the Thule culture, which appeared around A.D. 1100, got Arctic life right: whale and walrus hunting, snow houses, dogsleds. It lasted until Western contact in the 1500s. That contact--whalers and glory-drunk explorers, mostly--explains why traditional Greenlandic dances now tend to look like variations on the hornpipe and the jig.
At our first stop, in Sisimiut, I corner a schoolteacher. The town of 5,000 has number 8 and 9 buses--and apparently no others--and serious traffic problems around the open-air market, which features seal ribs on a steel table.
"In Alaska, we use the word Eskimo or Inupiat or Yup'ik; in Canada, Inuit. What's the term here?" I ask.
He looks at me like I'm slightly stupid. "Greenlander," he says.
When the Vikings showed up, they called the natives skraelings, from the Old Norse word for skin. (They made the same mistake generations of wool-clad European explorers would: sneering at the locals' sensible--and warm--fur and skin clothing.) Erik the Red, banished from Iceland in 982, named the place Greenland in a desperate, misleading attempt to get people to come with him, and the Norse gave it a shot for a couple of hundred years. Digging into the shallow topsoil, they grew a few grains and raised thin sheep. By the mid-1100s, the eastern settlement held upwards of 250 farms, even a cathedral. But in the end, the Vikings just never got the hang of the land. They never took up hunting or fishing (what kept the Greenlanders going, then and now) but stuck to farming, an economic model that didn't work because it had very little to do with the environment. Adaptation was not a Viking virtue.
The western settlement was gone by 1300; the eastern settlement was empty a hundred years after that. The last written record was of a marriage. In the end, historians say, ice inexorably pushed the Vikings off the edge of the island. The end of Norse settlement coincides neatly with a peak in the Little Ice Age. Temperatures dropped, and the ice cap spread closer to the sea.
No longer able to farm, their sheep no longer able to fend off the cold, odds are that the Vikings simply packed up and sailed away. Falling out of history, they might have headed for the place they called Vinland, the shores of North America, where, the stories said, the sun was soft, the forests were thick, and grapes grew wild.
IT TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS to fall in love with Uummannaq, just northeast of Disko Island, the great mass of Greenland visible across a narrow fjord. A mountain locals say is shaped like a seal's heart shades women pushing babies in prams and teenagers going to church in traditional sealskin pants and kamiks--boots trimmed with dog skin, high enough to tuck the hands in to keep warm. The houses are bloodred and yellow, pale green and dark blue. When the church bell tolls, every dog in town lets out a wolf howl.
I climb to the top street, sit on the steps of the school. In the water beyond, icebergs trolling the harbor crack and groan. Over on the mainland, bare mountains climb toward the unseen ice cap. The mountains are staying that way later and later into the winter as the snow level throughout Greenland rises. "The snowline should be at 600 meters here," Dornsiepen had told me, "but it's now at 1,000."
The mountain barrier separating the coast from the ice cap in this part of Greenland ranges from 1,800 meters to as little as 400 meters. Already, the lower edges of the vast plain of the ice cap have doubled their melt in just the past few years. What happens when the snowline climbs over the last mountain and the glacier no longer has new infusions of snow, even at high altitude? The glacier dies.
From behind his desk in the Uummannaq museum, curator Karl Peter presides over narwhal tusk walking sticks and polar bear pants. But in the past few years, he says, it's hardly been worth the effort to go hunting. The ice is gone, and the animals are migrating north, looking for a climate they understand.
Peter, who has lived all over Greenland, shakes his head. "It's bad," he says.

People say that 10 or 20 years ago, Denmark was thoroughly resented. (A show of Greenlandic art in Copenhagen still features a straightjacket sewn from a Danish flag.) But now schools are taught in Greenlandic, Danes are only about 10 percent of the population, and Greenlanders who went away for higher education are coming back and taking over elite jobs.

Even so, when I ask Laursen if he thinks the Danes will assert more sovereignty if oil production starts, he just chokes out a laugh and says, "They'll try. Of course."
I imagine huge chunks of melting glacier, icebergs the size of shopping malls, knocking over shiny new oil rigs in a perfect demonstration of greenhouse cause and effect.
