The Aquaponic Source is a Colorado-based company with a mission to empower people to grow their own fish and vegetables in their homes and schools. We strive to achieve this mission by being committed to the following:
1) Open Source Learning Materials
2) Finding and Developing Products Specifically for Aquaponics
3) Providing Industry Leadership.
OPEN SOURCE EDUCATION – At The Aquaponic Source we believe that an educated gardener is an empowered and successful gardener. How do we educate gardeners? Every way we can think of! For starters we wrote the award-winning Aquaponic Gardening book, which has sold over 40,000 copies world-wide. We also run North America's largest aquaponics forum called the Aquaponic Gardening Community, which is an incredibly dynamic source of information and conversation. We regularly publish articles on our blog and in print magazines, we put out a Tip of the Day on our Aquaponics Store, and our Aquaponic Gardening YouTube Channel offers new video insights into aquaponics. We have also developed a 33-session online course that has over 1000 students and an almost perfect track record of over 80 five star reviews.
Finally, with our new Aquaponics Training Center, we are able to offer a series of in-person classes for all experience and interest levels. Want to learn all that you possibly can both in theory and with hands-on practice? Take our Aquaponics Immersion Weekend Course. Only have a day to spend but still want to learn enough to get started? Take our Aquaponics Fundamentals Course. Already have an indoor garden but looking to go deeper into specific topics such as off-grid power or organic insect control? Take any or all of our Aquaponics Focus Classes.
AQUAPONICS PRODUCTS – While we LOVE teaching and creating free educational materials, we need to pay our team and pay our rent. The way we do that is by developing and sourcing high quality aquaponic gardening systems, supplies and educational materials. We only sell what we believe in and use (or would use) on our own aquaponic gardens. We back that up in our grow lab where we are constantly testing new products for both efficacy and the safety of all the living elements of your aquaponics system.
We primarily sell direct to the public through TheAquaponicStore.com website and our Longmont, CO retail store, but we also offer wholesale, drop-ship and affiliate programs to other business who would like to partner with us.
INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP – Anybody can say that they are "the leaders of the industry", but at The Aquaponic Source we back that claim up with actions every day. Our Founder and President, Sylvia Bernstein, has been professionally involved in aquaponics and hydroponics since early 2003. Sylvia wrote the award-winning and best-selling book, "Aquaponic Gardening: A Step by Step Guide to Growing Fish and Vegetables Together." She co-founded The Aquaponics Association and co-organized the first annual Aquaponics Association Conference in 2010. We also founded and run the Aquaponic Gardening Community, which is the largest and most active aquaponics forum in North America. Our headquarters in Longmont, CO is the largest (non-farming) aquaponics facility in the Northern Hemisphere (7600 sq ft), and includes a retail store, systems showroom, training center, and a research and development lab. That's industry leadership!
The Aquaponic Source is YOUR source for all of your aquaponic gardening needs!

One of the most important tasks of environmental laboratories is the toxic analysis of biological samples. This application note presents two examples of the successful use of Retsch instruments for the gentle and neutral-to-analysis preparation of such material. Results show that the Retsch mills ZM 200 and MM 301 are both highly suitable for cryogenic grinding as they allow for the gentle and efficient pulverization of the sample material.

ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: As the Tom Daschle drumbeat continues — amid the latest revelation of tax woes forcing a different Obama nominee aside — a Republican friend highlights this old Daschle campaign ad, which appears to be from his 1986 run for the Senate.
It shows then-congressman Daschle driving around Washington's snowy streets in his 1971 Pontiac — as opposed to the "BMWs and limos" that populate the capital city's streets, the ad tells us.
"Sure it's rusted, and it burns a little oil," the narrator says. "But after 15 years and 238,000 miles, Tom Daschle still drives his old car to work every day. Maybe he's sentimental — or just cheap. Whatever the case, isn't it too bad the rest of Washington doesn't understand that a penny saved . . . is a penny earned."
Here's guessing he wishes he still drove that old car these days.
UPDATE: It turns out that old car is still around — but Daschle would have to go back to South Dakota to fetch it. His old Pontiac Ventura is on display at the Pioneer Auto Show in Murdo, S.D. (Click on the 1970s tab to find the listing — though it appears the auto shows Web folks forgot how to spell their former senator's name.)

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/10/giant-profanity/ Here's a poser for you: you're a member of a highly-advanced alien civilisation and have just travelled to Earth in your hyperdrive-powered craft intending to enjoy a long-weekend break. The trouble is, you can't decide whether to: a) nip over to rural Idaho, abduct a farmhand and anally probe him before modifying his DNA and dumping him back on the highway; or b) pop down to Billingley in Yorkshire and leave a cryptic message for humanity in a corn field: I fugured this was ripe for our wackjob conspiracy moonbats here
I find humor in B, but A now that could be alot of fun. Think about it you can grab a guy who is already considered borderline looney by the people he knows and make it official. All the while the guy is telling the truth but noone believes him because it is such an off the wall story and his sanity was suspect prior to that. If I were an alian that would be more humorous.
Damn, that is good. That will put Billingley on the map, wherever in Yorkshire ir is. It reminds of my signature.

"Jerks..." muttered the teenage boy from his hiding spot inside the boys' bathroom stall. He had been stuffed into a locker- AGAIN!- and had to be let out by a teacher after at least two hours of slamming on the door and waiting for somebody to hear him. To make matters worse, he had been yelled at almost immediately afterwards for missing class. A fairly typical day for him, though annoying nonetheless. Things like this had started happening to him on a daily basis ever since he had first entered high school, and the rumor going around that he was gay did not help matters at all. So he found himself once again hiding out in the bathroom, his preferred eating spot during lunch time. Nobody would bother him while he was in there. Well...at least, nobody human.
He snapped his head up from his food when he heard the bathroom door opening and quickly pulled his feet up onto the toilet seat until whoever had entered, left. That's when he heard an all too familiar voice.
"Argh! Those HORRIBLE, filthy little worm babies!" came the angry voice of his arch nemesis, causing Dib to sigh in some relief and roll his eyes. He hopped down off the seat to exit the bathroom and throw out his tray of food. Of all the people in that school out to get him, Zim was the least of his worries. In fact, Zim hardly ever bothered him nowadays, save for the usual arguments they shared during school hours every day. Otherwise, he hadn't plotted anything new to take over the world in ages, nor had he come up with new ways to torture him. It was almost as though he had changed, not that Dib minded. He made his way out of the stall to head for the door.
"What's the matter NOW, Zim?" he asked in a casual voice, as though he were really concerned; anybody could tell he was just trying to get on the other's nerves though. Perhaps in hope of starting an argument with him, different from the ones they could set their watches to. Of course, it was obvious already what the matter was just by looking at Zim. It seemed that one of the other students had "accidentally" dropped their tray of food on him. He stood before the bathroom mirror, trying to brush it off of his clothes.
Jolting when he heard Dib's voice behind him, Zim turned to glare daggers at the boy. "You want to know what the matter is, WORM BABY?!" He emphasized his last two words so as to show he was in no mood to be played around with. "I'll tell you what the matter is! You and all the other little maggots I'm forced to mingle with on this disgusting excuse for a planet are what the matter is! I hate it here! And I hate all you horrible hyuman stink beasts and your horrible stinking food stuffs and all your horrible hyuman habits!" he said, baring his teeth at the other.
Carrying his tray over to the garbage can in the bathroom, Dib just shrugged nonchalantly. "So? What else is new...?" he mumbled. Just as he was heading out the door however, Zim made a grab for him.
"Do not just brush off what Zim says as though it were nothing! Everything I say is not just...brush...offable!" he growled, obviously angry that Dib couldn't care less about his complaining. "Besides, what pitiful reason could you have for being in here, anyways? And don't go into detail about any of the disgusting things I already know you humans do in these places!" he added quickly while gesturing to the bathroom surroundings.
Pulling his arm from Zim's hand, Dib took a few steps back. "What does it matter to you what I was doing in here?!" he met Zim's glare with a glare of his own.
"Oh, nothing. I just like to see you squirm uncomfortably." he smirked, teasing the other now.
"Oh yeah? Well, same here." Dib smirked back at him, advancing on the disguised Irken.
"Eh?! Hey! Wait! What are you-?!" Zim found himself being cornered against the sinks as Dib leaned in to wrap his arms around the shorter alien, hoisting him up and carrying him out into the hallways, as though to expose him to the world. Zim, of course, struggled as Dib happily carried the other down the still empty hallway. Lunch wouldn't be over for another 15 minutes. "Urgh! Release Zim!" the agitated Irken demanded, "Release me or face the wrath of ZIM!" he kicked out his legs desperately, but Dib refused to let go anytime soon.
"Nope! Not gonna happen. I caught you." Dib said, walking away happily with Zim.
"AHHH! NO! LET ME GOOO!" Zim continued to struggle.
"I'd rather not."
Zim's eyes could only grow wide at those words before sending Dib a strange look. "And WHY is that?" he asked, stopping his struggling for a moment.
"Errr...I WIN!" Dib exclaimed, quickly changing the subject.
Zim's eyes grew wide again. "What?! NO! I WANT A DO-OVER! ...Uhh... What did you win?" he asked, sending Dib a slightly confused look now.
"I just win...cause I caught you." Dib grinned happily to himself.
"Oh, right...Wait...AHH! LET ME GO!!!"
"Now, why would I want to do that if I'm obviously winning?"
"Ehhh...ZIM WILL GIVE YOU A GIFT!"
"And why should I believe you?"
"What? Don't you want a gift from Zim?" Zim put on the cutest face he could muster.
Dib, however, just clung to Zim even more tightly, a small pout coming to his face. "Nooo... Cause I don't believe you'll actually give me something. And besides, I'm happy with what I have right now." he smiled again.
Zim could only smirk at that. "But Zim is offering moooore!" he said, trying to tempt the human.
Slightly curious now, Dib stared at Zim intrigued. "What do you mean by that?" he asked, wondering what Zim had in mind to offer him.
"Let Zim go and you'll find out." Zim said, smirk becoming wider.

The average American consumer spends $47 per supermarket trip, but that number jumps to $75 when the shopper buys wine.
53% of American moviegoers surveyed said they pay attention to movie ads during TV commercial breaks.
Despite leading all categories in Nielsen's Portable People Meter survey, the News/Talk format reported its lowest January level in measured history.
Healthy products with packaging callouts tend to outperform the category as a whole, suggesting that shoppers read labels before buying.
News and views from Nielsen's leading voices
Digital audience measurement is getting better: measurers are on the lookout for "fraudulent" views, are working to include only "viewable" impressions, and are measuring what percentage of people reached by a campaign actually belong to the group the advertiser was paying for. So what's next?
Considering consumers' strong interest in getting healthier, and recent purchasing trends, "good-for-you" products are positioned for continued growth. In fact, 40% of global respondents say they plan to buy more fruit (41%) and vegetables (39%) in the next six months. How can manufacturers and retailers reach consumers with health and wellness on their minds?
Who are the NBA's biggest fans? With on-court talent hailing from all parts of the globe—from Argentina to Australia—it stands to reason that the NBA has one of the most culturally and racially diverse followings of all sport leagues.
While beauty sales were stagnant last year, sales in several key beauty categories grew within Hispanic households. As a result, Latinos, who represent about 17% of U.S. population, are becoming more important to health care and beauty.
This holiday season also ushered in a transition to the latest generation of gaming consoles (Nintendo Wii U, Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One). However, even though their devices are new, the vast majority of eighth gen owners are not newcomers to console gaming: nine in 10 have previously owned a seventh gen console.
When it comes to generating buzz for new movies, trailers and TV commercials remain king. That's because, movie previews and TV spots are the top two ways Americans get their movie info, regardless of age or the ever-expanding list of devices and platforms competing for people's attention.
As another historic winter grinds on in the northeast and football fans everywhere endure their own seasonal depression now that the NFL season has ended, the January portable people meter survey results come down to one thing for many leading radio formats: deflation.
Half of consumers around the world say they're actively trying to lose weight, and 75% of them plan to achieve that goal by changing their diet. But the road to good health isn't always paved with good intentions. So do desires materialize where it counts—at the point of sale?
There's a wine retailing revolution taking place across America, and it's happening in the supermarket. No longer confined to specialty shops and liquor marts, wine is carving out its own territory on the grocery floor, which is giving savvy retailers an opportunity to offer convenience and boosting their profits in the process.
These days, album and song sales are just a part of the fragmented music ecosystem. Music consumption today is more accurately measured by multiple metrics—sales, streams, airplay and social—providing the most accurate view of how an artist is truly resonating with fans.

Loverboy Returning With First Original Studio Album In Eight Years
Thursday, June 19, 2014
Loverboy is back with its first all new original album since 2007, with Unfinished Business set for release on July 15th. Ultimate Classic Rock guitarist Paul Dean explained that sessions for the album were a world away from the studio-heavy months spent recording 1985's Lovin' Every Minute Of It, saying, "We practically lived at Little Mountain Studios for six months, but it's a new world. I do everything on my laptop now. Way better!"
Dean went on to say that it was the band's online community that voted Unfinished Business as the album's title, and that the entire project is a salute to them and released, "to show our appreciation to the fans who have supported us all this time. I guess one day we'll have to stop calling the new album Unfinished Business. It sounds pretty much complete to me. And it only took us 40 years!"
Frontman Mike Reno told us that although Loverboy's early videos were staples at the launch of MTV, as the band and the production of the clips got bigger, Loverboy had to push back to keep its integrity: "Well, what we did say every time was, 'We want performance in these videos' -- every time. And after a while, the ball got big, the band became this huge entity. We said, 'We still want. . . ' -- they said, 'We don't really care what you want.' And we'd say, 'Well, here's what's going to happen: We're going to play live, and if you wanna put some other things in there, we'll consider doing them, but you're definitely not going to tell us what to do -- or you're going to have an empty stage.' And we weren't cocky about it, but we weren't into getting pushed around, either. 'Cause, we thought, 'I don't wanna watch a video of a bunch of guys dancin' around the whole time.'"

I got up this morning, had my coffee and a bite to eat and then used my new 5lb vertical canister stuffer for the first time. Sweet mutha those things are TREMENDOUS. I stuffed 4 lbs of sweet italian in about a minute it felt like. The one I bought as a vent in the push plate so no air pockets.... just stuffed sausage flying out of the front of the thing. Then, later in the day, I mixed up the cure and laid it on a 5 lb pork belly for the start of some pancetta. That's in the fridge now I have a duck in the fridge now and I'm going to do some duck prosciutto tomorrow night. I have another 5 lb belly that I'm going to do two different bacons with tomorrow night. And then tonight, just to munch on, I bought a little Sopresata from a local market.... tasty stuff... AND... I sliced it on my new meat slicer! Oh... and the SWMBO made some farmhouse cheddar today. On top of all of that, I framed in my "curing closet" down in the basement. I just tacked up some 6mm plastic to the framing to see how the humidity would hold up. I bought a automatic humidifier yesterday that has a built in hygrometer so I can set the humidity level. The little area got up to about 50% humidity on that side of the basement (for now) is holding pretty steady between 50-55 degrees. I really kind of halfassed the plastic so I'm hoping if I actually build out the actual closet instead of just tacking up the plastic, it'll hold the humidity a hell of a lot better and I can get it up to around 60% without too much trouble. Now.... if I had only brewed on top of everything else.
christ, you have too much time on your hands! (um, and too much stuffed meats. is that the WURST you can do?)
-I'm not getting older, but the floor is getting further away.
I hate you just wanted to get that out of the way first. No that that is done. No pictures? What kind of slicer? I am in the market for one.
Pics? Which stuffer? I have the grizzly and it's great. I think it is a clone of a Lem or some other brand. Curing closet sounds super. Wish we had basements down here. When they build houses in florida, they put the basement in the back yard and fill it with water.
Damn, Cape Brewing, you worked your butt off today! Nice! I made 40# of bulk Italian Sausage today. Yum. It's not Duck Prosciutto, but...
The Sweet Italian i stuffed this morning is the best sweet italian sausage I've ever had. To say I'm happy with it is a gross understatement. I used the recipe out of Chacuterie and used sherry vinegar instead of the vinegar it called for... OUTSTANDING
Can you post the recipe? I am using the Kutas recipe. While it's VERY good, I am always looking for better. Thanks!
Left the damn book in my office friday. I made up th stuffing thursday night and actually stuffed them this morning. I'll post it tomorrow when I grab my book back
Thanks, I appreciate it!

At the final day of the United Nations climate negotiations for 2011, countries received their biggest shaming yet for blocking greater progress in the talks. With the final outcome of negotiations not yet decided, it was at least clear enough which nations had done their worst in the last day and the entire two weeks. New Zealand took the infamous 1st prize for its strongest statement yet against continuing Kyoto. But Canada earned yet another Colossal Fossil for scoring the most dirty points at these negotiations.

Even in Death
Marceline was now born, crying and wanting her mother, who was busy talking with her family members, the only ones that wanted to see Marceline. She was crying as many people showered her with gifts, too many people were calling her "cute" or a "sweetie". Hilary picked up her baby, walking off to the bathroom to breast feed her daughter. Hours later, Hilary and Mori were asleep, Marceline awake and sucking on her pacifier. Her green eyes focused on something that moved, three animal spirits. She smiled up at them, reaching her arms out for them. She heard the doe speak, "This is my granddaughter...I love her!" The buck, big and strong, like a Bruise Willis of the shifters snorted, "She's part human, Angelique, I don't think I can like her!!" it said. Angelique glared, hating how her mate, Matthew, "Dear, I don't care if she's part human, she is our granddaughter!" Matthew snorted, but Marceline smiled up at him and Angelique. "She likes you, Matthew! She especially likes me, our little Marceline!" Angelique said, nuzzling her granddaughter's cheek, Marceline laughed. "Hi there, my little niece!" a young boy's voice quirked up. "Marceline, this is your Uncle Akalex." Marceline squeed. Hilary gasped as she walked into the room, she could see her dead in-laws. Angelique smiled, a way of saying, "Thank you, for making my Mori happy!" Matthew simply walked over to her, examining her. "Matthew, cut that out!!" Angelique yelled, making Matthew snort. Akalex smiled, the family disappearing, Marceline still smiled, her smile bigger as she saw her mother's gift to her, her grandparents and Uncle all as stuffed toys.

Going to be in the Atlanta area from Monday (3/24/08) night to Friday. Any good brewpubs in the area?
In Duluth, umm, not that I know of. There is 5 Seasons in Alpharetta which is very near Duluth. If you want to head back into the Atlanta area there are a few: -Rock Botton -Gordon Biersch -Max Lagers Now, even better IMO, in Decatur: -Twains -The Brickstore, not a brewpub but one of the best beer bars in the area, within walking distance of Twains If you are looking for a decent (marginally) dinner, bad service, but a good selection of draft beer, you should check out TacoMac. I know there is one in Duluth.
Checked out 5 Seasons last night. Not bad. Heavy on the Belgian selections. Had their "Venus" Belgian White, tasted more like a German Heffe to me. Tried the "Golden Number" ale, I liked that one the most. Got the "Black Star" stout, which I guess was voted "Best stout in the world" in 2000. Didn't care for it much, tasted like burned plastic to me.
I have to second the Brickstore suggestion. It is, by far, the best bar in town. TacoMac is a decent second (I've only been to the one at Lindburgh, but they have 50+ beers on tap). Duluth is basically a suburban no-man's land, as you've no doubt realized. Oh, and since it's Wednesday, Twain's should have a cask on, I believe. I'll probably be there, so I hope to see you there as well!
Wretched Excess is Barely Good Enough
Twain's looks good, but the drive back up to Duluth could be frought with peril after drinking a few pints.
I haven't been there, but Vreny's Biergarten is right next to my office in Duluth and has been calling my name for some time. Why haven't I been? I'm a telecommuter, and home is 2 hours away. So when I leave the office, I'm saddling up and heading south...

Former model and fashion editor Lauren Scruggs, who was injured last month in a traumatic accident with a spinning plane propeller, reached a major milestone in her recovery, meeting with a prosthetic arm team this week.
Scruggs' mother, Cheryl, who has chronicled every step of her daughter's recovery on their blog, wrote about the family's emotional visit with a prosthetic arm expert Wednesday.
"Different emotions, during the 3 1/2 hour meeting, enveloped each of us, at different times, during the meeting…..anger, hope, disbelief, encouragement, discouragement, sadness," she wrote. "We all came out speechless and exhausted, but also a bit encouraged and hopeful."
The 23-year-old online fashion editor has made miraculous strides since the Dec. 3 accident in which she walked into a moving plane propeller after viewing Christmas lights from above Dallas, injuring the left side of her face, shoulder and severing her left hand.
Doctors at Dallas' Parkland Hospital performed surgery to remove Scruggs' left eye Dec. 15. The Texan has been in intensive therapy to relearn how to walk, talk, use a stationary bike, even dress herself since the accident. According to her family, she started eating her favorite foods, including sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, picking out clothes to wear in late December. On Jan. 4, she made her first trip outside the hospital to Whole Foods with her mother, according to Cheryl Scrugg's post.
Earlier this week, Scruggs, who is known to family and friends as "Lo," wrote her first blog post on her LoLo Magazine website since the accident. Her mother's blog confirmed that it was Scruggs who wrote the post and saw it as a sign that her daughter's spark was coming back through the pain.
"She said, 'Mom, I'm ready to make my first post.' My knees felt weak, and I got tears in my eyes. I have missed watching her write and ponder what's next to put in the magazine. I've missed how she gets so excited about the new things she has researched, and can't wait to write an article for," Cheryl Scruggs wrote. "I breathed a sigh of relief……knowing that her passion is being re-ignited."
In the Jan. 9 post, Scruggs thanked friends and family for their outpouring of support.
"I don't know how to thank each one of you, properly, for so much love during this difficult incident in my life," she wrote. "My heart is so grateful beyond what I could ever imagine. So thank you dearly for the sweet encouragements, the precious words in letters and messages, the beautiful grace in pretty presents, but mostly I am so so thankful for you and your loving hearts and sweet spirits."
The deeply religious family has turned to prayer and continues to stress their gratitude for the support of friends and members of the community.
"We take each moment ….one at a time. Then the reality starts to set in about the magnitude of what has really happened……..then sadness, and sometimes a little Joy," Cheryl Scruggs wrote in her latest blog post. "God knows what He is doing, but it's tough."

PhotoflexLightingSchool™ Lesson
By Adorama Learning Center Editors
October 26, 2011
Take your portraits to the next level by harnessing natural light, as described in this simple guide.
Featuring the affordable Extra Small Wireless Kit, this lesson demonstrates some basic strategies for getting your young, restless subject to interact naturally with the camera. We'll also cover some techniques for getting more natural lighting from your Shoe Mount flash.
The following snapshot was taken with a point-and-shoot digital camera with the built-in flash enabled. Although this picture captures my subject in between dizzying spins on his kitchen floor, it mainly reveals drawbacks that professional photographers tend to avoid.
First, the composition is fairly uninteresting. When taking a portrait, it is important to consider every element of the frame—the background, the foreground, the distance from the subject, the balance and feel of the entire image—not just the person being photographed.Second, this type of overhead perspective creates unnecessary distance from your subject, as you are literally looking down at them.
And of course, third, the unnatural quality of the built-in flash lighting makes the scene look dimensionally flat and uninteresting.
Let's do it right: The evolution from snapshot to great shot
Anyone who's spent even a little bit of time with a three-year-old knows that it's almost impossible to keep them still in one spot for very long. I find that some of the best opportunities for photographing children are when they're able to stay in one spot. In this case, my energetic subject was confined to limited quarters of his high chair.For this photo shoot, I decided to shoot in an east-facing room where the morning sunlight would come streaming in, providing a nice backlight for our subject.
Camera AngleThe first thing I decided to do was alter the camera angle. Here, we used an SLR camera that had a flip-out LCD, which allowed us to shoot from a low angle without having to crouch down low—perfect for child portraiture. Using a camera without this feature would require you to get down low with your subject.Here, I came in tight on our subject and oriented the camera so that the wall fell directly behind him. Once the overall frame looked good, I took another shot.
Bouncing SunlightWhile the result was somewhat too dark in the facial areas, I liked the rim light effect of the sun with the dark wall behind him. It's time to add light to his face.
To resolve the dark tone of the face, I decided to bounce some of the sunlight into the shadow areas with the Soft Gold side of a 32-inch Photoflex® MultiDisc®. I attached the MultiDisc to a Photoflex® LiteDisc® Holder and then attached the LiteDisc Holder to a Photoflex® LiteStand and positioned it to the left of our subject. At this point, my subject was getting a little restless in his chair and, as you can see from the next shot, I captured him in mid-squirm.One of the downsides to shooting indoors with available light is that you are often limited to a relatively slow shutter speed. Any fast or sudden motion will most likely cause motion blur, as is evident here. Note, however, that our contrast ratios have improved dramatically with the MultiDisc® in place.
Here is a method I often use to relax portrait subjects of every age, not just children. It's easy for people to get tense or self-aware, particularly when a camera has been trained on them for several minutes, and it can greatly affect their facial expressions and movements.When you sense that your subject is tensing up or uncomfortable, ask them to simply close their eyes and relax their face. Tell them that you're going to wait a few moments and then ask them to open their eyes. And that when they do, to just look straight into the camera lens. You'll likely be amazed with the results. The majority of the time, you'll capture these fresh, relaxed expressions, as though you've just come upon them that very moment.
And with respect to the lighting, notice how well the MultiDisc® fills in the shadows of our subject's face with soft, warm light. With just a simple reflector, I was able to create a nicely back-lit portrait in just a few minutes.
ShoeMount Flash LightingAs I illustrated earlier, the main limitation to shooting with natural light indoors is that you are confined to a relatively slow shutter speed.For the next series of shots, I removed the MultiDisc® setup and attached a Photoflex® StarFire™ to the camera. Once it was powered up, I adjusted the power level to properly expose my subject.
Before taking more shots of, I knew I had to occupy him with an enjoyable distraction if I hoped to keep him in his chair any longer. I set up a laptop and put in one of his favorite DVDs for him to watch. Again, this is another method you can use to distract your young subject from the boring process of setting up lights and configuring your camera.Once the movie was going and the flash was powered up, I took another shot at the same camera settings, but didn't really worry about his facial expressions, as I knew that it would take me a little time to develop the lighting setup.
As you can see, the result is typical for this type of lighting arrangement. Because the light from the flash is traveling in approximately the same direction as the lens, it tends to flatten out the elements of the shot and it is difficult to get an accurate sense of shape or dimension. The reflections in the eyes are tiny and unnaturally centered, something you would never find in natural lighting conditions, and the shadow cast from the chin is sharp and equally unnatural-looking. Unfortunately, this type of result is unavoidable with this type of lighting.
Modifying Your Flash For Natural-Looking ResultsWith the Extra Small Wireless Kit and any ShoeMount Flash, you can modify the light of your flash to create much more natural results. Here, I took the camera, the Extra Small Wireless Kit, and a Photoflex® StarFire,™ mounting it all to a flash bracket.
Fortunately, by the time I configured the camera with the flash and SoftBox, my subject was still content watching his movie, which allowed me to take just a few more shots in this same spot. I moved in close with the SoftBox, waited for a moment in the movie that made him smile, and then took a shot.
After reviewing the image, I was very happy with the overall lighting. There was a nice rim light around his hair, the light illuminating his face was both soft and directional, and the eyes were much brighter than in the previous strobe shots. I also liked that the room was illuminated a little more than with the MultiDisc® fill.However, now I wanted him to look into the lens and not gazing at the laptop. You really only have a small window before the excitement in the eyes of a child watching a movie turns into a glossy stare.
I shut the laptop, talked about some funny parts of the movie, and took a moment to smooth out his rumpled hair a little bit. Then I asked him to close his eyes and think about a scene he had just watched in the movie. I moved in a little tighter, and when he opened his eyes, I took my final shot.
If you're planning on doing a child portrait in the near future, remember to consider your location and time of day, get comfortable with your camera and lighting gear, keep an ongoing rapport with your subject while you are shooting, and most of all, have fun!

In my point of view, these people mentioned in the article are not scholars. That's what they actually clearly say. For many times, Ahmed Al-Shugairi mentioned that his not a scholar and doesn't want to pretend that he is. He said that he is a normal guy who saw the huge gap between classic scholars and new generations, and wanted be a bridge between the two sides. The same goes with Amr Khaled. He doesn't pretend that he knows everything in the Islam, but he sees the people like the way he speeches and understand it more clearly. That's why he keeps doing what he's doing at the moment. He tells stories of the Islamic history, to extract the benefits, and give more tips for the younger generations of how to be more successful, socially and spirtually, to lead their nation to be at the top of the nations. Therefore, I can't see any threats facing the position of the known scholars. What have to happen is that the young generations don't get those two different people confused, functionally.
Are These Islamic preaching a moderate from of religion at all?
Islam forbids divorce between religion and statecraft along with age old perpetuation of hateful behavioral for people of other faiths.
Till Islam goes through so far unthinkable Renaissance, democracies will still remain a dream, if at all the citizens of Middle East and Muslim world at large do really aspire for the so far absent democratic ideals and practices.
Further the process of democratization is tortuously slow and full of serious pitfalls and setbacks.
It is still to be seen that the assumed desire for democracies in the Middle East is real one or just another fanciful construct built on age old western notions and bouts of wild imaginations.
The unfolding political and social events in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, will perhaps be the harbinger of what the future holds for the region and beyond.
Those living in democracies-grappling with various serious problems, can only wish them good luck.
"he just act like western people and of course we don't like western people." and "… they have to understand that most of arab people don't like western world."
Am I the only one reading this with DISGUST?
I am from Egypt and I have watched Amr Khaled a lot but I think what he was doing is just finding new ways to reach Muslim people, since the traditional ways were not working any more. and he just find that people in middle east like to be like the western world so he just start to act like western preachers and some of the famous Egyptian preachers like Dr. Samh Moureas, in the biggest church in Egypt. he got a lot of attention in the beginning and then the television makes him very big which he has a lot of followers today. but also I have meet with a lot of his followers and they describe him as a prophet in our generation. and some other say he just act like western people and of course we don't like western people.
I think all of them have to find a real new ways o reach people not just act like western people and they have to understand that most of arab people don't like western world.
It's nice to see a less conservative approach to a religion, that at least in the West, has a reputation for being based on extremism. Hopefully this will slowly influence what seem to be old world countries into more moderate states.

John Drennan: Shattered Shatter runs out of credit - but will he bring Enda Kenny with him?
Published 07/05/2014 | 17:49
Some of us always suspected that Shatter would end in tears.
But, as he snarled and sniped at Clare Daly this morning talking about her being a fan of Osama Bin Laden no-one thought the end was nigh.
The Minister was, in the wake of the Data Commissioners finding, was running out of political credit and quickly.
But no-one expected the ashen-faced denouement of this afternoon where a pallid Enda Kenny simply announced the resignation of the most embattled, most controversial Minister for Justice in modern times.
A lot of political credit was invested in Alan Shatter's political career.
As recently as today Enda Kenny backed the former Justice Minister, the Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore backed the former Justice Minister and Leo Varadkar backed the former Justice Minister.
Sadly as it turns out they would have been better off putting their money on Clare Daly, Mick Wallace and Luke 'Ming' Flanagan.
They were the big winners today for the Independent troika, who brought the whistleblowers to light, and they were the clear winners of the long war.
As the troubles piled over Mr Shatters head with GSOC, with the whistleblowers, with the Data Commissioner many wondered why Mr Kenny did not sack a Minister who was such a lightning rod for trouble.
The problem was a simple one.
In a sense the Taoiseach and the Coalition, when it came to Alan Shatter, were like some-one who had bought Anglo Irish shares in 2007.
Mr Kenny, Mr Gilmore and the rest of the cabinet had invested so much of their political credit into Mr Shatter that even as his political share value was going through the floor to cut their losses appeared to be too high a price.
Sadly like the poor old punters in 2007 they have lost the political pot now.
The Taoiseach's closest ally outside of Phil Hogan is gone and has left nothing political tumbleweed from behind.
Even as the Ministers astonished cabinet colleagues looked on like a collective of stunned mullets the coldness of the old political game was epitomized by the queries already gathering in the corridors of Leinster House as to who the next Minister will be.
Could Justice be in need of the tender embrace of nice Frances Fitzgerald or will Leo be the man with the big stick needed to sort out the dysfunctional Department or could Enda promote some-one out of left field like Liam Twomey.
One thing amongst all the chaos is certain.
Alan Shatter is toast.
And outside of Mr Shatter absolutely no-one else is crying.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
John Drinker (March 12, 1760 - February 16, 1826) was an American portrait artist.
Contents |
John Drinker was born on March 12, 1760 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents were John Drinker (1716–1787) and Susanna Allen Drinker (1721–1787). His father made a number of successful real estate investments in Philadelphia, including the property known as Drinker's Court. In 1787, John Drinker, Jr., opened a drawing school at Philadelphia, where he taught "the art of Drawing and Colouring." That same year, both of his parents died and with his inheritance, he was able to buy property in Berkeley County, Virginia (now West Virginia). He bought and sold land in Virginia for the next 36 years.[1]
He may have moved to Virginia between 1790 and 1793. On April 12, 1797, he married Elizabeth Peppers in Berkeley County, Virginia, and returned to Philadelphia. In 1801, they returned to Berkeley County, and on January 1, 1808, John bought additional property in Berkeley County, now known as the John Drinker House. He died at his home in Berkeley County on February 16, 1826. He was buried at Morgan Chapel Cemetery. Elizabeth Drinker lived until April 15, 1858.[1]
Of the eight portraits that have been attributed to him, three are signed, but as of 1981, only one of these three has been located. All of the portraits are of prominent figures in the Berkeley and Jefferson Counties of Virginia and West Virginia. These works include[1]:
The John Drinker House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[2][3]

Talks may alter murder trial dates in shooting outside of Tinseltown
The outcome of negotiations with one of three teenagers accused of murder in the shooting death of a 24-year-old man in March outside the Tinseltown 16 movie theater could change one or more of the teens' trial dates, court officials said Friday.
An Oct. 23 trial date has been set for Hector Avila, 16, and Daniel Garza Jr., 15, but Garza's attorneys, David and Frank Davila, asked 117th District Judge Sandra Watts to consider changing Garza's trial date because a third defendant, Sotero Magana, 17, is trying to reach an agreement with prosecutors.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys declined to go into detail Friday on how negotiations with Magana would affect the start or the outcome of the trial. Watts ordered Magana's attorney, Melissa Madrigal, and prosecutors to have completed negotiations by early next week.
According to Corpus Christi police, John Gabriel "Bo" Fernandez was confronted by several men as he exited the theater at 5218 Silverberry Drive about 10 p.m. on March 31. A fight began and Fernandez was shot in the head, police said.
At a pretrial hearing last month, Watts denied a request by Avila's attorney, Amador Garcia, to suppress Avila's statement to police. Garcia and Davila had no comment Friday. Madrigal, who represents Magana, could not be reached for comment.

A small Wisconsin community near the Minnesota border is paying tribute to the 20 children killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting.
Supreme Graphics, based in Arcadia, created a display of photographs of the children and teddy bears and put it in the middle of town.
Company chief executive officer and president Chuck Blaschko told the Winona Daily News they wanted to do something because they felt so bad about the tragedy.
It went up last week Friday, about 30 minutes before Wisconsin's statewide moment of silence.
