Updates on Chang'e 3: Rover and lander both awake, good science data received
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2014/01/14 05:01 CST | 8 comments
According to news reports from China, the Yutu rover woke up from its two-week nap at 5:09 Beijing time on January 11 (21:09 on January 10, UTC), successfully establishing communication with Earth. The lander woke up autonomously at 8:21 Beijing time / 00:21 UTC on January 12, and is also "in normal condition." UPDATED to note that the lander's camera apparently did not survive lunar night.

2013: The Year in Pictures, an addendum
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2014/01/07 03:22 CST | 1 comment
Every year, I write a feature article for the year's final issue of The Planetary Report titled "The Year in Pictures." Because The Planetary Report is a printed product, I have to compose the article before the year has ended. So here is an addendum to the printed article, a few images that came in November and December that mark significant events of 2013.

Living Under Surveillance at the Border – for What?
As a fourth-generation Arizona rancher I have a strong attachment to the land my great grandfather homesteaded back in 1896. But ever since the US government built the border fence and sent thousands of Border Patrol agents to the Southwest, my property rights are violated every day.
Our ranch has 14,000 acres of cattle land that stretches some ten miles along the U.S.-Mexico border. When I was a kid the border wasn't a big deal. The U.S. and Mexican ranchers on either side would help each other out. Then in the 1990's the Border Patrol showed up to close down the border, and ever since that's dominated my livelihood and my life.
At first I wanted to cooperate with the Border Patrol. Then the agents started racing their vehicles through my property, busting through our fences, tearing up roads, and running down cattle. When other ranchers and I met with border officials in Tucson to explain the problem, they refused to pay for the damages.
I've come to realize that the Border Patrol simply has no respect or understanding for our way of life here at the border. I spend most of the day mending fences they've damaged, and every time one of their vehicles hits one of my animals, I have to absorb the cost. My cattle are worth up to $1,800 a head, and I've lost eight of them. All the ranchers around here have the same problem.
I've also discovered that the Border Patrol doesn't have to respect our constitutional right of private property, something this country was built on. There's a federal rule that within 25 miles of the border US agents have the authority to come onto anyone's land, without permission, whenever they want. That's what they do, and I can't stop them.
It used to be that our dogs could roam freely. They have always been our security system. But when the dogs started going after Border Patrol agents who set foot on our property, the agents threatened to shoot them. So I had to build a fence to keep my dogs penned up.
That's just one way life here has changed.
We also live under constant surveillance. On my property alone, there's about $40 million worth of high-tech surveillance equipment Border Patrol has installed, including three 80-foot-tall surveillance cameras equipped with infrared night vision. They're supposed to be there to track illegal border traffic, yet one of them is pointed right at our house, watching our every move. My wife finally decided we had to plant trees around our windows to try to protect our privacy. There's also at least 200 ground sensors buried on our land right now, and the Border Patrol hasn't asked for permission to put any of them there. They're effectively taking your property without actually taking it, and they don't care if that makes you angry.
When the Border Patrol's air unit started coming with low-flying helicopters to chase illegal border traffic, I realized that the days of living with the peace and quiet we once had on the ranch were gone. The helicopters buzz over our house and scare the cattle and horses into running through fences. No matter how many times we talk to Border Patrol and explain that cows and horses don't get along very well with helicopters, they don't seem to care. It's like living in a military zone.
I believe we have to protect our borders, but not the way the government is doing it and not at hugely wasteful cost to the American public. We already have 450 Border Patrol agents right here in the Naco area. At their district headquarters down the road, there's 200 state-of-the-art patrol vehicles sitting there idle every day. Now Congress is talking about adding 20,000 more agents and spending an additional $46 billion on Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency that oversees Border Patrol. I consider that a waste of taxpayer money. We do need to solve the immigration problem, not by offering citizenship but by giving people who want to come to this country to work a way to do that legally.
I'm proud to be an American, and I believe this is the best country in the world. I never thought I would have to publicly criticize our government's policies. But after more than 20 years of experiencing the Border Patrol's arrogance and disrespect, my family and other ranchers have had enough. I want the rest of the country to know the reality that we're living here on the border: a daily violation of our constitutional rights.

Ryder Cup subplots ooze during Open week
Updated: July 18, 2012, 3:56 PM ETBy Farrell Evans
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England -- On Wednesday at the Royal Lytham & St. Annes driving range, I caught up with Bo Van Pelt. We discussed a number of things, including his second-place finish a few weeks ago at the AT&T National, his time on his boat during his two-week break, links golf and the food in Blackpool.
I wanted to know his thoughts about making the U.S. Ryder Cup team that will meet the Europeans in September in Medinah, Ill. It would be his first appearance in the biennial ...

The Newest Lifestyle Brand, 'Jaz In The City,' Will Open in September in Amsterdam
On the ever-expanding bandwagon of hip, urban lifestyle brands, Steigenberger Hotels and Resorts is officially getting on the bus with Jaz in the City, opening September 1 in the hipster city of Amsterdam.
This is the third brand for Frankfurt-based Steigenberger Hotel Group (after Steigenberger and InterCityHotel) who are mostly "Hotels made in Germany," with expansion planned in other parts of Europe, Egypt, China and the Middle East. Plus more in Germany.
For the Jaz in the City debut in Amsterdam, expect to be immersed in eternally hip Dutch culture and in particular, the music scene. While the Jaz web site has few renderings at the moment, when you "get down" to it, the overall message is pretty clear. Get down.

Loews Hotels' OE Collection Will Resurrect The Bisha Hotel in Toronto
A few months ago, news came out that Loews Hotels would debut their own lifestyle collection, called, OE Collection. While we made the scholarly guess that OE did not stand for Olde English malt liquor (heh), we were still left in the dark about what kind of space in the lifestyle market OE would fill.
But last week at the Americas Lodging Investment Summit conference in Los Angeles, we sat down with Constantine Dimas, the new chief business officer of OE Collection, and got the scoop.
Dimas is a Loews guy through and through, having served as Vice President of Asset Management & Owner Relations as well as Vice President of Food & Beverage.
Not so coincidentally, OE Collection hotels will have a strong emphasis on food and beverage and beyond. In fact, the first OE Collection hotel will be the Bisha Hotel in Toronto from Canada's nightlife king, Charles Khabouth (Bisha was Khabouth's childhood nickname, but Dimas refers to him as "The King of cool." Khabouth is also the restaurant partner at Loews Vogue in Montreal.)
Longtime readers may remember Hotel Bisha from way back in the day (2010) when they first announced that Lenny Kravitz would be designing an entire floor.
The hotel took a while to get going but now Loews, in the form of the OE Collection, is helping Khabouth make his hotel vision a reality. Come early next year, Bisha Hotel & Residences, OE Collection--with 100 hotel rooms, over 300 condo units, a 24-hour cafe, a bar, two restaurants and a mega rooftop experience--will finally swing open its doors...to the most culturally discerning guests of course.

Langham Hotels are the Heart and Soul of the New Cordis Hotels
Late last week, luxury hotel brand Langham Hotels dropped the news that they would be creating a new brand of hotel--Cordis Hotels and Resorts, with the first hotel opening very soon--in May in Hong Kong.
Best of all, this is not a millennial brand.
Cordis comes from the Latin word for heart, hence the heart-shaped logo and the brand's emphasis on "intuitive service, connectivity, sophistication and a sense of community." Cordis Hotels won't be a high end as Langham Hotels (just a notch below, according to Langham folk) but they do promise to be "vibrant" and "modern" and even, "family-friendly."
Seven more Cordis Hotels are set to open in Asia within the next three years, and Langham will hopes to open Cordis in other cosmopolitan cities such as London, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dubai, Singapore, Bangkok, and wait for it, Orlando.
As big fans of Langham, we're loving the idea of a Langham experience on a more accessible level, and that they are catering to families is a huge plus for this writer. So we hope they come stateside soon.
But we may have spoken too soon about millennials. Word from Hotel News Now is that Langham is developing a lifestyle brand for millennials. Sigh.

An Update On All The Shiny and Happy New Hotel Brands Out There for Millennials [UPDATED]
The past few month has been all sorts of insane with new hotel announcements, mostly brands aimed at millennials. We understand that many hotel brands needed to revitalize their offerings for the "next gen traveler", particularly with their design, tech and entertainment offerings, but they are seriously going overboard. Like, we can't even. [Insert girl crossing her arms in front of her face emoji here.]
And we can't help but wonder if all their
presumptions research about millennials are just a little off base? Judging from the room key shown above, hotels apparently think that when fun-seeking millennials enter their hotel rooms, they like to remove articles of clothing but not their Vespa helmets, jump on beds, and laugh about all the shopping they did.
This could be true of the millennials in their early 20s but eventually, they will want the same things the rest of us fogies now seek out in hotels--functional but comfortable furniture, and some peace and quiet. So hotels are essentially creating hotel brands that millennials will grow out of in about ten years.
But whatever, there's no stopping the hype.
Now, for all the old people out there who are over the age of 33 and can't remember what happened last week, or even this morning, here's a rundown of all the shiny and happy new hotel brands that are out there. (Yes, this means our story from March is now outdated.)
We've been waiting a long time for Sir Richard Branson's newest hotel product. But now, not only do we have details on what the concept is about, we can also sleep with a Virgin on January 15 in Chicago. A loyalty program should be revealed next month and is expected to have perks for Virgin America and Virgin Atlantic status members.
The very first AC Hotel will open in the U.S. in New Orleans in mid-November. Unlike most Marriott Hotels, free WiFi is expected here. Previously, the design-forward AC Hotels were only open in Europe.
There's still not much out there about what Tommie,
the spin-off brand for Thompson Hotels, a Commune Hotel, will look like, but we do know we can crash with him in Tribeca this summer.

Six NYC Hotels Have Formed a New Supergroup
If Crosby, Stills and Nash taught us anything, it's that the only thing better than a super group is a supergroup made up of our favorite artists: more talent; less records/tickets to buy. It's much the same way in the hotel world, when a bunch of our favorite hotels club together to form a new brand: wider choice of properties; one loyalty program.
The newest hotel brand on our radar is a collection of six New York City hotels doing business under the umbrella of Triumph Hotels. The properties in question are The Iroquois, The Gershwin, Hotel Belleclaire, Hotel Chandler, The Cosmopolitan and The Washington Jefferson. While the brand has only just launched, the family-owned hospitality group, Triumph has owned these hotels for some time, as our Real Housewives-related investigation revealed a few years back.

A Peek at Paramount Hotels: Thumbs Up or Down?
It's been a while since we checked in on the development of the movie studio hotel brand, Paramount Hotels but thanks to a tipster, we've now got an exclusive look at the brand's, er, branding designs, courtesy of & Smith, a London-based graphic design company. *
It's all very similar to what's already on the Paramount Hotels website (indeed, there are even screen grabs of the website) but with larger photos and with some other detailed shots of corporate stationary, "vision brochures", business cards and gift bags.
Overall, it looks pretty predictable for a hotel brand birthed from the loins of a movie studio. Everything is black and gold with glamour shots galore, and the Paramount logo plastered front and center on everything. Yes, it's the same logo that you often see at the start of a Paramount movie. It reminds of a Planet Hollywood hotel, if a PH had five-star amenities.

We're Intrigued By Brisbane's NEXT Hotel
What was once a big-country town, Brisbane has really started to come of age as far as its hotel scene goes. From trendy boutique The Emporium Hotel, that regularly takes home top awards, to the first Tryp and a newly re-branded Pullman, Australia's third largest city is making a name for itself as one of the country's epicenter for cool hotels. So picking Brisbane to launch a new hotel brand, called NEXT Hotels, makes total sense.
The brand NEXT is new, but the folks calling all of the shots are not new to running hotels; the Singaporean hotelier, SilverNeedle has acquired the Constellation Group, who've been welcoming guests for decades not only in Australia, but in New Zealand, Thailand and Laos. SilverNeedle will now overhaul Constellation's Brisbane property, Chifley at Lennons, to the tune of $35 million.
Not only will NEXT Hotel double the amount of rooms from 150 to 300 at the property, but it will offer out-of-town guests and locals a hip hot spot overlooking the Queen Street outdoor-shopping mall. By adding a luxury retail section on the ground floor and a hot new pool deck a la The Standard Highline or Gansevoort for sipping cocktails, NEXT will once again be the city's hottest address.

Six Hotel Brands You Should Be Excited About Now
All this talk about IKEA getting ready to sweep Europe with a new chain of budget hotels got us thinking about some of the other cool brands out there. And it's a good thing there's so many of them—because while certain brands have managed to deliver on their promises, others have yet to open a single property. And yet we still remain hopelessly glued to the screen...
Take a look at these six other hotel brands we're most excited about, and see which openings are coming to a theater near you.
The world finally exhaled when Virgin made the announcement that the location of its first-ever hotel would be in Chicago. It's going to have a modest 250 rooms, and it will open in the city's historic Dearborn Bank Building, which will hopefully make good on Richard Branson's promise that all Virgin properties will become "the hippest most comfortable in any city." Well, sir, we'll hold off on judgment until we see one actually open. Construction began in May, with a projected opening date of Fall 2013.

InterContinental to Launch New Brand in China This Year
If all the new hotels look like the Indigo Shanghai, we'll up and move to China.
InterContinental Hotels Group will launch an entirely new brand this year in China to cash in on the booming economy there. This is on top of the launch of the Hotel Indigo brand in Shanghai we heard about in December and the 23 other hotels the company opened in 17 cities in the country in 2010.

Drawers below induction cooktop
Looking for an induction cooktop that can be installed over a three drawer cab. It appears both the LG and Bosch have small clearance requirements below the cooktop. But the Bosch manual is a little ambiguous. Does anyone have any experience with this, or photos you can post of an induction cooktop over a three drawer unit?
I did in my last house--the top drawer was stubby in back to accommodate the plug and it was fairly shallow (~3" deep) but still held all my knives and cutting boards which is actually quite an accomplishment.
The cooktop was a 36" Wind Crest and the cabinets were custom made based on the cooktop's requirements.
I have a Bosch 500 induction cooktop over a three drawer stack. The interior height of the top drawer is only 2", but it's still very useful. The back of the drawer had to be cut out in one small area to accommodate the cooktop's cable, but I don't notice that at all.
I keep some utensils and spices in that drawer and they fit well. (I know that spices should be shielded from heat, but I don't think it will be a problem in this setup.)
I haven't even used the cooktop yet, since the kitchen was just finished, so I don't have long term experience to share.
I have the Kitchenaid over a three drawer unit. The utensils sit in a regular drawer, interior measurement 2 3/4", right under the bottom of the cooktop. But I don't believe anything could really happen, anyway. It gets warm under there, but never hot enough to melt or burn anything. I understand the concern about voiding a warranty, though. Part of why I got the KA was the small required clearances (the unit is only 2 3/8" deep), but it is noisy, as I've said ad nauseum, so there are trade-offs to consider.
The only one that I found had a really big clearance requirement was the GE. You're right about the Bosch manual being unclear - the unit itself is 4" deep, though, so it would leave less room for the drawer.
I am also trying to figure out this situation. I will be having a kitchenaid cooktop, I really want drawers below (am willing to sacrifice the top drawer for required clearances) but I am also planning on installing a retractable downdraft. Ginny...what kind of ventilation do you have?? It would be so nice if the internet could answer all my questions without having to think so hard about what to search for!! Lol
Sparkier, in my quest for answers I have seen lots of pictures on Houzz with drawers beneath, though in lots of them the top drawer is fake or shallower than normal

ali80ca- Did you already buy the KA? Did you listen to it?
You shouldn't have to sacrifice the top drawer. The bottom of the drawer - the first combustible thing - can be 4" below the cooktop, which I think is the clearance. In any case, I kept the top drawer and it's fine.
I have a 720CFM Kobe hood, vented to the outside, 30" over the cooktop. There is no actual ventilation for the cooktop itself, although the installation manual asks for a thin slot in the cab, above the drawer. I had my cab maker put it in, but then the granite guy had to fill it in to lay the counter. The cabmaker said the drawers don't close flush because of the little round rubber stops, so I'm just letting that count as the opening.
If it starts to get warm in the top drawer, which happens rarely if I'm cooking for a long time, I just open it a couple inches. I haven't had any problems.
sparkier73: "Looking for an induction cooktop that can be installed over a three drawer cab. ... Does anyone have any experience with this, or photos you can post of an induction cooktop over a three drawer unit?"
We installed an LG LCE30845 cooktop immediately above a drawer -- 3 inches top-to-bottom internally and full depth front-to-back -- that is chockablock full of spatulas, spoons, and whisks (and above two much deeper drawers below the spatula drawer that hold pots and pans).
We returned (bearing booty) just yesterday evening from a nice vacation to The Cheese Capital [*] of the World, and we have a lot of busy catching up to do (mail, grocery shopping, etc.), or I would take the time to shoot a picture for you of the set-up. But -- trust me -- it works. We have had the same set-up since 1999 (though the current cooktop replaced another brand in 2008). The LG is exceptionally thin (the thickness of the last previous generation of laptop computers), and generates no discernable heat of its own in the drawer. And the exhaust of the cooling fan exits above the counter (through small slots at the rear of the cooktop's stainless trim), so the drawer's space is not needed for venting, either.
[*] Search for ("Danielle Pergament" AND Nibbling) with your favorite search engine to find the Land of Cheese, somewhere near Benia de Onis.
ali80ca- It clicks. Instead of adjusting the power level with some kind of solid state relay, they have the magnets go on and off. This means that the heat is not exactly even, also, although to be fair it doesn't seem to affect my cooking. Here's the thread where I discuss the KA noise.
Since I wrote that, I got five more different brand pots, and they all buzz, more or less. The buzzing is not nearly as bad, however, as in the Youtube video that poor guy posted showing how loud his KA induction was. The clicking is more annoying. I have gotten used to both the buzzing and the clicking, and if a radio and the hood are both running, you don't really hear it . But I maintain that if you are sensitive to repetitive noises, beware the KA.
Here is a link that might be useful: My noisy KA induction
Ginny..yes I watched that youtube video, couldnt help but feel sorry for the guy! I will have to take myself off to the showroom that has a functional KA and listen to it. As I said last time I didn't notice, but we were talking and it was in a store with background noise.
The way to really test this would be to bring two pans, maybe some water, and put them on two hobs at different levels under 6. That way you can hear what it sounds like with out-of-sync clicking. It may not bother you, but at least you'll know. If they demonstrate by showing you how fast the water boils, you won't get any clicking, because it only happens at level 6 or lower.
Good luck!
sparkier73: "Still would love to see pics if anyone gets a chance to post them. "
Cabinet: Canyon Creek Cornerstone Kitchen Cape Cod in hickory.
Cooktop: LG model LCE30845.
sparkier73: "THANK YOU Herring!!! Do you like your LG? I'm choosing between that and the Bosch... LG wins on low profile, but Bosch is running a $300 rebate right now, so they win on pricepoint. Can you tip the scales for me?"
The LG is a pretty basic unit, except for the true bridging pair of burners on the left (and the griddle sized for using those paired burners that LG gives away free with the cooktop). For instance, the LG lacks timers on the burners. (There is an overall timer on the cooktop that does not connect to the operation of the burners, but acts like a standalone timer.) And the cooling fan is connected to the on-off switches of the burners; it runs when the burner is on, does not run when the burner is off -- rather than being thermostatically controlled by sensors under each zone of the cooktop as in more complex cooktops. But that apparent economy measure (fewer components to go wrong) seems to make no practical difference as to whether the cooktop overheats.
But -- we have had this cooktop for six years now -- so far it is dead reliable, no fuss, no drama; knock on wood. I like that the cooling exhaust vents above the counter, through slots in the stainless trim at the rear of the unit; most cooktops vent into the cavity underneath the cooktop. Even putting one's fingers against the rear vents, one cannot discern the breeze, and the vents are completely quiet.
I have no personal experience with the Bosch cooktop, though our "wall" oven (located not in a wall, but under the counter next to the drawers in the photo) is a Bosch; so I cannot compare and contrast the Bosch and LG cooktops. But I would not hesitate to buy another LG should we move to another residence in the future.

Host by NetBox Version 2.8 Build 4128
Gift Wrap Not Available
'Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.'
So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein.
Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave.
This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.

Comments about The Giving Tree:
First, I can't believe the negative comments on this book! I have nothing but good to say about it. It's one of my favorite stories!
There are a lot of different ways you can interpret this book I suppose. I like to think of it like our relationship with God. The tree is God and we are the little selfish child. We are selfish, sinful people and God continues to love us unconditionally. In the end we know the best place to be is in the presence of God. We all need to work on being more like the "tree"
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love it and hate it
By Bettina, Mother of 2
from Jacksonville, FL
I cry when I read this book because it's sad. It has a good message about unselfish love and children will probably like it. However, it's so one-sided and selfish on the child's part that I think it sets a really bad example. The boy, as he grows older, continues to want something from the tree and the tree more or less gives up it's life for the boy. The boy never thanks the tree and only visits it when he wants something. I don't understand why this doesn't seem to bother anyone else.

Absolute Favorite
By Summer, mother of 1 daughter
from Undisclosed
I don't remember who or when I received this book as a child but I am 32 years old now and this is still my very favorite children's book. It is basically a metaphor for the love between a parent and child over the course of their lifetimes. Simple but touching story about unconditional love.

A Powerful Story
By Kerry, a Delta Gamma
from Topeka, Kansas
When I was in college my sorority used this story at every initiation ceremony and other times throughout the year. It is such a simple, but powerful story of giving. I'll never forget the first time I heard it. I can't wait to pass this story down to my son.

Terrible Story
By Laura, older & wiser mom of 2
from Undisclosed
There's no reciprocation, nor thanks for the love the tree gives. The boy takes, greedy and selfish, until the tree has nothing left to give. I believe in unconditional love, and the Golden Rule. If my children end up as "Giving Tree" examples, I would consider myself a failure as a parent.

Wonderful Story
By Rachel, with one in the oven
from KY
I love this story. It is a perfect example of unconditional love. I still read it and I'm 22. I can't wait to share it with my little one. It still has the power to choke me up!
Favorite Book
By Kate, a new mom

I recieved this book when I was in 2nd grade. I am now 24 years old, and it is still my favortie book. I give it as a gift to all new mothers, because every child should have this book in their collection.

Inappropriate Values
By Abby, a mother and clergywoman
from Long Island
Neither my husband nor I had read this book before someone gave it to us for our daughter. He read it first and was appalled, saying he difinitely didn't want our little girl to have this story. I was surprised, because I'd heard only good things about it and because my husband is a very open-minded person. When I read the book, I understood. This is not just about unconditional love, but about boundaryless giving and about taking without any giving back. One cannot encourage giving and giving until the giver dies of it. One cannot encourage taking and taking without ever giving anything (not even love or a simple thank you) in return. It is a terrible book that I wish we'd never been given and that I would never consider giving to someone else.

Great gift for every age
By Mel,new mom
from Tennessee
When I was in college and finally old enough to appreciate what my parents did for me, I gave them each a copy of this book. I wrote a message in the front and gave my mom one on Mother's Day and my dad one one Father's Day. Needless to say, they both cried. Now that I'm a mother, my dad gave me a copy for my daughter with a message to her in the front. Someday when she's grown, she'll appreciate it even more.
I love this book!
By Jaime, mother of 1 year old
from Kansas
My grandmother used to read this book to me as a child. After all these years, I still remember it. It's a must have!
Timeless book
By Jen, mom of one son
from New York City
My aunt gave my 18 month old son this book for Christmas ~ and I remembered it practically word for word from my childhood ~ and I remember loving it. My son is a bit young to grasp the concept I think, but he constantly brings it to me to read, and this book will stick around in his library for years to come ~ its sort of a sad book, but has a beautiful message, and perfect I think for an older toddler up til grammer school. Teaches them about the simple good things, unconditional love and sharing.
For all ages.....
By Pearle, D.J. & Reagan's Mommy
from Boston
I have given this book as a gift to so many people.....It is as timeless as time itself. It is so simple in text yet deep in its meaning and purpose....It is a book of greatness. I have given a copy to both of my children, to my friends, to my family.....It is a gift for all occassions and for all moments and it can be even given as a just because i love you gift at any time in any place all year 'round.......

Deadheading for re-bloom? How important?
I have several shrub roses including John Davis, William Baffin, Carefree Beauty, Carefree Wonder, Morden Blush, Ramblin Red, Earthsong, Frontenac & Pretty Jessica.
How important is deadheading for re-bloom on these varieties? I've heard it's more important for certain varieties, but I can't remember which.
I've been spending a ton of time on it, but I'd rather not if it won't make much of a difference.
I always deadhead all my flowers. It really does seem to make for lots more flowers,roses included. If you don't deadhead roses they start to make hips and spent flowers start to make seeds if they aren't deadheaded often. I just truly believe deadheading makes for lots more blooms.
P.S. Blooms is a Southern woman's word for blossoms.(smile)
But if the rose doesn't make hips readily, you can just let the abscission layers do their thing and more blooms will come. Will take maybe two weeks longer, but repeat bloom will happen just as if you'd taken the time in the heat of summer when there are other chores that need doing.
It's when the rose chooses to make fertile seeds in hips that bloom slows down without your intervention.
I always deadhead all of my spent rose blooms and am convinced that it does indeed cause the rose bush to produce more flowers all year long. It also makes it possible to keep the garden more neat and tidy looking without all those spent blooms to look at. I just prune them off and put the scraps in the trash. I never use used rose parts in compost in case there are fungal issues with them.
Deadheading stimulates them to recycle. Many shrubs like the Knockout family don't require deadheading. You could, but that's about all you would be doing in the garden, because there are so many per bush. These roses tend to deadhead themselves, but the HTs now, that's another matter.
I can tell you that with carefree beauty it does not make much difference. I once did a mini experiment with and without deadheading. The bloom was the same. You do get some nice hips from CB, so I would not deadhead late in the year. Knockouts are pretty similar. Of course, if you like the "tidier" appearance, that is a very good reason to deadhead.
Oh, if only I could get to my blooms the way I wish I could! I think it makes a difference if you get rid of the spent blooms, but I just snap them, or clip a group. It took me quite a bit of time to snap off the blooms on my Knock Outs, but they hold the spent blooms forever, and do look ragged if they are not removed.
I think most of my other roses do repeat faster, and look better if the spent blooms are removed.
I only have experience with Morden Blush and John Davis. My Morden Blush gets quite spindly looking with the first flush of flowers and the canes can get bent over with the weight of all the blooms. Once they are done I deadhead and cut back slightly and to shape. I have found that if I don't deadhead MB then I don't get as many blooms later in the season. With deadheading I get lots of blossom all season.
John Davis on the other hand, has a wonderful first flush and then it doesn't seem to matter whether I deadhead or not, it only seems to bloom sparsely from then on. I have two of these and they both act the same.

Allende's Chile[edit]
I just uploaded some pages: commons:Category:Allende's Chile (CIA report)
I don't think these pages are "problematic," so much as...some work remains to get them finished, and the images will of necessity be rather low quality. Right? I know there are varying opinions, but just to share my thinking -- I typically use the "problematic" label if there is a problem with the source document (e.g., the page was folded when scanned), or if there is a copyrighted/fair use image used in the middle of an otherwise free work. Thoughts? -Pete (talk) 19:16, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, I meant to lead with this -- thanks, as always, for working on these! It's always a nice surprise to see somebody unexpectedly working on a text I've uploaded. -Pete (talk) 20:27, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- I was told that if there was a missing image to flag the page as problematic, if you think it's not of the same severity as say a damaged page etc., then I think a further disscussion is needed.
ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:13, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Diacritics in Asoka[edit]
Friend, you are doing mistakes in rendering diacritics in Asoka; as in this page, which I have corrected. So you need to understand the principle used in this work. This work uses the circumflex, and not the acute accent, for rendering long vowels; and the macron for the same purpose when quoting others (if used there originally). The author has used circumflex in Rummindêî but macron in the transliteration of that inscription because that was a quotation from Führer's work. The acute accent has been used for long vowels in A History of Hindu Chemistry Vol 1, but not in this work. So you need not usually bother with it in this work. Additionally, this work uses underdot for rendering retroflex letters and overdotted m for rendering Anusvara. So basically you need to bother with four marks only: circumflex, macron, underdot and overdot. As for your question regarding unicode for this script, it was written in Brahmi script. Unicode is available, see Brahmi (Unicode block). But the work itself uses image, so you also have to use image. The unicode for this script will not be readable in most browsers. SVG and PNG formats found in c:Category:Brahmi letters can be used, however. Pictures of Asoka edicts available at c:Category:Brahmi script. Brahmi font available here and here. Best wishes, Hrishikes (talk) 03:17, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks - Tyring to read the diacritics in this isn't easy so thanks for the hints.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:59, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Smallcaps template requires the text to be in small letters, otherwise it won't work. On rechecking, the work does use the acute accent, but only for rendering the velar s. The author exempts Asoka's name, which he spells without acute, although the sibilant is velar. Hrishikes (talk) 15:42, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
You have made me very happy today, with your efforts to proofread the final pages of Olmsted report on Portland, Oregon parks. This was one of my first projects on Wikisource, and I have been nibbling at it for years, with some excellent help in terms of guidance, but very little help in the actual labor. It's a very important document to Portland history, and I've often toyed with the idea of printing out a nice, readable copy of it and making a gift to the members of City Council and other interested folks -- who generally recognize its importance, but find it difficult to read blurry PDF scans!
Your help is unexpected, and much appreciated. The last mile is always the hardest! -Pete (talk) 23:22, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
- Lulu or PediaPress Edition? It still needs proper conversion to bureau quality though...ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:44, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with Lulu..? PediaPress, I have nearly given up on as viable for Wikisource texts (per a recent discussion with @George Orwell III:, a month or two back -- which I still need to loop back to). I'm not sure what "bureau quality" is -- do you mean the validation process? Yes, there's more work to be done, but...this is a big step regardless!
- (The best idea I have is to copy-paste into a word processor and clean it up prior to printing. Which is..suboptimal, but far better than any other options I'm aware of. Curious about Lulu, though.) -Pete (talk) 00:03, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- I'll note...with some trepidation...that I just found a more complete scan of this document available on Google Books, including the ~10 pages before this appendix. (Must have become available since I started -- I searched high and low for it a few years ago!) Suppose I were to upload that to Commons: do you happen to know of a bot or script that could move these pages we have already transcribed over to the new index? -Pete (talk) 00:19, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Apply GO3, I don't do page move stuff... ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 00:39, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Will do, thanks. ...Lulu...? -Pete (talk) 01:31, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Any by bureau quality I mean a finalized laid out document, with no typos... all the proper images and so on... I.e What you supply on disc to the publisher/printing firm. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 01:59, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Black's Law templates.[edit]
I don't see the value to templating the entire definition in Black's Law, particularly since some of them run awkwardly over the end of the page (or are several pages). Why not just template the headwords? BD2412 T 14:47, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Leaf curl/dimples on a few house plants
Hey folks, I have a question about my ashwaghanda, elecampane, salvia divinorum and avocado plants. I notice the leaves on the avocado are pale and curl, and my others are smaller leaves in the new growth with a texture like dimples, or goose bumps. I have read that it may be too many nutes in the soil and/or a ph issue. I live in eugene or, and our tap water is mildly acidic so i thought the normal watering would be fine without adjustment.
I do fertilize weekly with organic liquid nutes like fish emulsion moringa fertilzer blend, BMO beneficial micros, and etc. I use half strength dilutions for regular feeding and do a clearex flush every month or so to remove salt build up. The rest of my plants look great. I have over 100 varieties thriving under lights overwinter, but these few are hurting.
I suspected the light was too close (4x8 flourescent grow light) so I raised it. I am going to cut back the old growth, do an apple cider vinegar/water flush and see if that helps. Any suggestions or experience with these would be great. All are in containers. I'll post pictures shortly.
Another view of the salvia...
One thing that may be a factor in all of these plants is that I get a lot of staining from foliar feeding maxicrop, I don't know if accumulated foliar nutrients could be causing some damage?
I leave it to you fine folks, I am at my limit in terms of ideas. Thanks in advance!
Thanks kousa! I took out my "active eye" microscope and zoomed in on one of the yellow leaves and sure enough...mites. I hadn't seen webs so I thought I was clear. Looks like I gotta bust out the neem.
Do you think that explains all the pictures?
i think moringa cashew and avocado are different. although 2 avocado leaves crinkled ... looks like mites too. but there is smth in addition to that - brown edges. may be deficiencies. same for cashew.
moringa - hard to see - too far. another pic?
mites damage is easy to recognize: you start seeing tiny yellowish white spots and to touch the underside feels grainy. also when new growth has deformed edges.
in my experience, brown spots like on cashew /avocado is not mites.
also fully yellow leaves is smth else. could be in addition to mites too.
I was hoping that I was wrong. Spider mites almost killed my meyer lemon plant. It went from a robust plant with fruits to almost completely defoliated in a month. The initial damage looks like your Moringa tree. Some plants seem to have a better resistance to mites than others. You really need to treat these plants the sooner the better. Though my lemon plant is alive for now, it is struggling because I did not treat it early enough(I was hoping the problem would just go away on its own). If you find a good treatment for the mites problem, I would really appreciate that you let us know. I used the Espoma Earth-tone insect control spray. It worked rather slow with a need for repetitive sprayings. I did not see immediate results. Good luck!
I sprayed it heavily with this all natural sierra natural science mite control spray. But I looked at a leaf under a microscope and they are still crawling around. Consistency is the key supposedly. The active ingredient is 2% rosemary oil which is supposed to kill/repel mites and eggs. So far they don't look dead lol.
However, none of the new growth has been messed with yet hopefully. I don't want to pluck any green leaves to let it gather as much energy to combat them.
I also have neem oil that I need to dilute with some water and soap and spray the leaves but I don't want to overload them and clog chloroplasts.
from my african violet experience with mites: the only stuff that kills them from 1 application is systemic: either judo/Forbid or Pylon. both very expensive - but use only 1 drop per application, so very economic. am not sure if it's for ALL mites or not.
horticultural oil is good too - but in my exp only for outdoor plants (much tougher leaves). it burns young foliage quite badly. so i would experiment carefully.
Good to know, I found this great recipe online that I will try. I say great but I have no experience with it, though it makes sense to me...
This is from another website, not my recipe:
So far one formula has come out ahead and there are some instruction changes:
1/4 cup Baking Soda
1/2 cup Apple Cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 drops dish detergent
1/4 Teaspoon Epsom Salts
Take a cup of very hot water and desolve the epsom salts,take rest of ingredients and place in a clean 2 liter bottle and let work out. Add epsom solution. Add water to fill to 48ozs(3/4 full).Shake well.
TO USE: Cover soil/medium with plastic,with lights off mist plant all over,especialy under leaves,
Wait 20 mins,then spritz off with clean fresh water shaking as much water off plant as you can.
The fresh water spritz rinse will remove the solution along with the desolved remains of the mites and their eggs.
Have fun with your new "Mite Eradicator"
Note by MrFixit: Water plants 1/2 hour before spraying. This will help keep your plants from absorbing the spray.
This solution has been tested and used as directed will not burn plants,the rinse is very important though as it removes the spent solution before it can concentrate and burn the plant. It also removes most of the dead mites and eggs so you don't end up smoking them.
The formula can be diluted further,to 1 liter and it will still kill the mites but isn't as effective at dissolving and removing the mite parts.
Since removing the mite debris is desirable,I recommend the stronger solution,just remember to rinse and shake.
This formula is alkaline(about 7.8-8) so please remember to rinse.
Mite irradication is absolutely assured and guaranteed if used as directed.
I've never seen ANYTHING work this well for mite irradication!!
I used to gas my booths for mites,it worked but they came back,I haven't seen a living mite in a long time now.They haven't come back,partly because of cooler weather,partly because I hosed the Roses that were infecting everything with the formula and wiped out all the mites during testing.
The only thing I wish I'd done different is,I wish I would have done sections of the Roses and preserved
some of the mites for later tests.I've had to go searching for victims to test it on and there just aren't any left!! I did find some victims for my final tests in the park where we have meetings,the plants by the river are pretty sickly and infested(were I should say,I walked around with ONE pint bottle and cleaned up most of the area.LOL)
If news of this formula were to become widespread,mites would become an endangered species!!!So GOOD HUNTING !
"PM'd BankRobber and he told me to post this:
I have been experimenting with similar formulas, so far 2 work.
Trial #1: 1/2 cup baking soda , 1 cup vinegar , 1/2 cup apple juice. Dilute to 2 liters.
Trial #2 1/2 cup baking soda , 1 cup vinegar , 3 tablespoons lemon juice , 2 drops dish soap .
Dilute to 40 fluid oz's.
I've tried this on: Wandering Jew,Spider Plant,Fushias,Gladiolis,Roses, Sweet Elysium,Clovers,Daisy,
Rhodadendron, Lawn(grass)
So far it works,both formulas. #2 works best outside and best overall
It has killed any small insects I've tried it on except FLEAS(Darn it!)
So far its killed mites,thrips(Adult),aphids,clo ver mites, whatever mite type insects that were all over the Gladiolis and it sickened and effected Grass Gnats and mosquitoes.(the mist knocked them down,couldn't find them in the grass to watch if they died but they were having difficulty flying)
I'm waiting for long term effects on the plants I've sprayed,before I'll try it on my plants.
Try mixing up some and try it outside on whatever you can find with an infestation.
The original recipe from a Landscape gardener was: 1/2 cup baking soda, 1 cup vinegar,2cups apple peels.
Blend/Puree , filter , dilute to 2 liters. I haven't tried this one yet (no apple peels).
The trick seems to be 1/2 cup Baking soda to 1 cup vinegar,diluted to approximately 2 liters.
The dishsoap helps wetting & the juices boost effect. #2 seems to help with molds/fungus also.It reduced blackspot on Roses,Gladiolis and Rhodi's and white mold on Roses.( The coast is a perfect proving ground for this stuff!!! We have ALL the bugs and molds !!! I don't have to go far to find infestations of all kinds.)
For 2 days I have hosed my backyard with this stuff,so far it has reduced blackspot & powdery mildew(white mold),killed all the small insects(size seems to matter on kill,gnats or smaller).
The only plants adversely affected so far are FERNS (they don't like it much,wilted some).
The fleas seem unaffected as are the garden spiders,wood lice,beetles and other large hard insects.
I'm using it far more than necessary to see if it hurts the plants. Repeating doses even after the bugs are dead. The gladiolis were REALY bad with blackspot mold and some kind of black sucker insects about the size of a pinhead.The Glads are doing fine both mold and insects gone! The wandering jew and spider plants are actualy perking up from it.The clover mites? WIPED OUT! Rose mites? WIPED OUT! Grass gnats and mosquitoes? VASTLY REDUCED! Scale insects? DEAD! Aphids?DEAD![THE GARDEN??? (smells like a "Caeser Salad" ! ) ALIVE.]
Seasider "
"Hey Everyone,
I think Seasider is onto something and that's it so cool to see people taking action and experimenting with organic ingredients!
I'm certainly going to try his formula!
It cost me over $300 to manufacture what I came up with, and that dose not include all the labor and the over two weeks it take to complete each batch!
Seasider's stuff is a fraction of the cost, and I can't see any adverse reactions from the ingredients mentioned.
Except for invertebrates "the soap" would kill them, but then we don't need it in our fish tank now do we?
A key test will be to see if any eggs rehatch or if the plants are reinvested, however respraying with an inexpensive home made product may be worth it to so many!
I say GREAT job & keep up the good fight!
Please keep us informed of your test. and results!
There seems to be some mild burning where the solution was left on and collected/concentrated.
I would recommend using the 2 liter dilution and spritzing with fresh water afterward and shaking off as much as possible so the formula doesn't collect and concentrate itself to the point it burns tender leaves.
I didn't notice any damage except where it had concentrated and dried,so spritzing and shaking off should do the trick.As far as effectiveness goes,wow! The death and destruction it deals to mites is impressive !!
Popping browning eggs melting,imploding adults,body parts and debris slowly dissolving......EXTREMELY GRATIFYING !!!
The BORG rule ,of mite terror, is OVER !!!!
A member had severe burning that he attributes to residues drawn out of the container by the vinegar.
USE A CLEAN CONTAINER !! Do not use realy strong vinegar or any with SULFITES in it.
I Just bought a sprayer with a telescoping nozzle that also rotates to get under leaves and in tight spots. Way better than the crappy spray bottle I was using that sent it mostly everywhere but the leaves.
I also think I have some soil born pests, along with some potential water-logged roots, which may have choked the roots so they couldn't uptake nutrients. Just a hypothesis... I can't wait until I can harden them off to go outside and have better conditions. My greenhouse got taken out in a snow storm so I have kept all my potted plants in my office under flourescents. The floor is carpeted and the plants are under the ceiling vent so its just begging for mites to come dine. I should have expected this after having so many plants in such a relatively small space.
James, thank you so much for posting the above info. I seriously need a thorough "eradication" of mites in my garden. Last year was really bad for my fruit trees. The chemical spray that I used did not work well because the mites came back. I am going to try the above recipe in my garden this growing season and I will report back how it works out for me.
I hope that you have gotten to the mites in time to prevent further damage to your plants. It sounds like you did. Please tell us how the above formula works out for you. Thanks again for the recipe above.
I did a little more searching and came to the conclusion that aside from the mite issue (which seemed to have been taken care of by the natural science spray, haven't had to make that posted recipe, but keeping it handy for sure), that I was over fertilizing the plants and have salt buildup. I am going to make a molasses flush and keep better track.
I read that a mantra for caring for wide ranging plants is feed weekly, weakly. So that's what I will do. For the plants that show signs of hunger, I will supplement.
Looks like I'll be picking perlite out of the shower drain.

Bleeding Edge TV 289: Rock Band 2 preview video
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: High Score, Short Bytes, Features, Home Entertainment, Music, Podcasts, Software, Video Games, Videocasts, Videos
We are right around the corner from the release of Rock Band 2, so we figured we would bring you this extensive preview of the game, starring the makers of the game themselves, Harmonix. We bring you a 15-minute primer, focusing on all the new hotness in the next iteration of Rock Band, including the tracks, features, and instruments. We also go in to a little of the history behind the Rock band franchise and the reason it came about (other than seeing that Guitar Hero was a raging success, we mean.) We end it with a demo of the game, with a couple of people teaming up to form bands on the fly. If you are into Rock band, this is definitely one to watch.
iPhone 2.1 firmware released
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
Apple has finally unleashed the iPhone 2.1 firmware to the masses as of an hour or so ago. If you've been running iPhone 2.0 since July, then you've probably been waiting desperately for this firmware release, which is supposed to clear up a ton of bugs and other annoyances about the app-centric iPhone OS. Here's a list of the changes and improvements:
- Decrease in call set-up failures and dropped calls
- Significantly better battery life for most users
- Dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes
- Improved email reliability, notably fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts
- Faster installation of 3rd party applications
- Fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes for users with lots of third party applications
- Improved performance in text messaging
- Faster loading and searching of contacts
- Improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display
- Repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages
- Option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts
- Genius playlist creation
So, there's a lot of stuff there. Of course, most are concerned primarily with the big fixes. Here's hoping that iPhone 2.1 is the solid OS that the 2.0 release should have been. You can get the update by connecting your iPhone to your computer, firing up iTunes 8 (it's required), and hitting "Check for Update." Good luck!

iPod nano updated, elongated, and nano-chromatic
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Design, Music, Portable Audio / Video
The worst-kept secret of today's Apple Let's Rock iPod event was the newly updated iPod nano. Apple officially let the cat out of the bag today, sharing all the details. The new iPod nano is taller, and also turns out to be the thinnest iPod ever made. It's available in a record nine colors, and you get two models to choose from - an 8GB version for $149, and a 16GB version for $199. The battery will hook you up with 24 hours of music or 4 hours of video. The nano now has an included accelerometer, which allows it to sense if you are holding it in portrait or landscape mode, so it can then change the screen orientation accordingly. That same accelerometer also gives rise to a new "Shake to Shuffle" feature. It's exactly what it sounds like. If you don't like what you are listening to, shake the nano, and you get a new random track. You can order the new iPod nano now at the online Apple Store, or pick one up at a physical location as they arrive over the next few days.

During this morning's Apple event, Steve Jobs let us in on a few of the details of the upcoming iPhone 2.1 software update. In giving the details, Steve also admitted to the faults that have been pointed out consistently since the iPhone 2.0 software launched. What can we look forward to when 2.1 is released this Friday for the iPhone? How does fewer dropped calls, major improvements in battery life, faster backups, and no crashing apps sound? Yeah, we thought so. Now to wait for Friday to see if the promises prove to be true. Fingers crossed!
EDIT: iPhone 2.1 has been released!
iPod touch gets updated, Genius playlists, Nike+ built-in
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Movies, Music, Portable Audio / Video
Apple is improving the iPod touch with a thinner stainless steel case, hardware volume controls, a built-in speaker, and a Nike+ receiver (you'll need to puchase a Nike+ kit to take advantage of that one.) Battery life is now at 36 hours for music, which translates to around six hours for video. The new Genius feature will be included, alongside the App Store. They've also redone the casing, which is now a thinner stainless steel, and we've even got actual hardware volume control buttons. The new iPod touch is available now - 8GB for $229, 16GB for $299, and 32GB for $399. You can pick on up from the Apple Store Online now.

TiVo HD XL now shipping: 1 terabyte storage, THX certified, $599.99
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment
We knew it was just a matter of time before our friends at TiVo finally released something a little more, robust, to take the place of the discontinued TiVo Series3 DVR. While the TiVo HD is a nice unit, it just wasn't the premium product that the Series3 was. The TiVo HD XL is all about taking that premium spot, and it certainly looks like a worthy replacement. The unit ships with a 1 terabyte hard drive, which means it can record up to 150 hours of HD programming, HDMI cable, along with a premium Series3 backlit TiVo remote. The TiVo HD XL features dual tuners, which lets you record two programs at the same time, and is even THX certified (something that the TiVo HD can't brag about.) The one jarring piece here is the price, as the TiVo HD XL is selling for $599.99. If it's worth it to you, you can order one right now at the TiVo website, or you can wait a few days and check your local retailer. We have the full press release for you after the break.

Let's Rock: Apple event planned for September 9
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors
Well, what do you know? Looks like that Apple event that Kevin Rose speculated about a couple of weeks ago is finally official. This morning, Apple sent out notification of their next event, titled "Let's Rock", is set for September 9th. Now, looking at the graphic, we think it is pretty clear that this one is going to be focused on iPods. Apple is notorious for refreshing their portable media player line in September (heck, last September was when the iPod touch was announced) for the whole back-to-school and holiday vibe.
While we expect to see new models across the board, word on the street is that the iPod nano and iPod touch will be the ones to pay attention to this time around. That is, unless, you are like me and have tons of media that you want with you at all times. If that is you, then you are with me in hoping we see something akin to a 250GB iPod classic. Aside from that, though, some surprises would be nice. I know I've been asking for it for years now, and this probably isn't the appropriate place to announce it, but I sure as heck would just love it if Apple would also give us a new Cinema Display. Could happen, right? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
Comcast to cap Internet bandwidth to 250GB per month, starting October 1
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Movies
Comcast has decided to change its users agreement so that as of Oct. 1, users will only be allowed 250GB per month. This means you can still download about 4 standard def movies per day.
"We know from experience the vast majority of customers we ask to curb usage do so voluntarily," the company said. While they already reserve the right to eliminate those who use too much, now subscribers will be contacted by the company, as if we don't already get enough nasty phone calls and letters.

Gnomedex 8.0: Kris Krug: Making Better Photographs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Productivity
Kris Krug is here at Gnomedex to talk to us about taking better pictures. He goes into tips:
- Light in the Eyes: You want to try and get light in the eyes.
- Evaluate the Light: Sun? Shade? Incandesent? Halogen? Look around and find highlights, spotlights, and shadows, and then put your subject in good light. Look for reflection and light in the eyes, and if possible, use lamps.
- To shoot in low light: Turn your ISO UP, Increase your aperture (make number lower), decrease your shutter speed, focus manually if autofocus fails you, tinker with manual settings/metering, brace on things (tripod, wall, gear bag)
- Reflections are Yummy: Look for puddles, glass, metal, shiny floors that may have reflections in them, and then take an image of that reflection.
- Focus on a theme: Black and white, portraits, funny faces, laptop stickers, over-exposed. This will give you a goal.
- Learn Your Camera: Isolate the variables like depth of field, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc. ALso, Tinker, tweek, shoot a bunch of photos, share them, get feedback, and feel free to change up your style. Share your gear by finding someone you can test out lenses, flashes, etc. with. Last, but certainly not least, set the white balance.
- Take a look at your background: No trees sprouting out of peoples heads, less busy puts more focus on the subject.
- Fill the frame: Hold your hand out, and if your subject isn't bigger than your hand, you are too far away.
- Get High! Swing Low: People look better from above, so stand on things, lay down, get the angle, and change your perspective. This is why people are always taking MySpace photos by holding their phone above themselves.
- Tips for being a good subject: Laugh, smile, have fun. Make eye contact with the camera. Stand in the light.
- Camera buying advice: Lenses are more important than the body. You should spend 2/3 of your camera budget on your lens. Don't fall for megapixels. Look for manual controls. Cameras from Canon, Nikon, and Fuji are great.
You can find Kris at Static Photography. This dude is an amazing photographer.

Brian Haugen, Interactive Marketing Strategist
Facebook is always advancing the way it evaluates content. Getting your social media content in front of the right audience isn't far from getting your resume in front of a hiring manager. It has to be relevant, timely, and most of the time you may feel like you're a borderline annoyance.
The good news for you Type A people is that Facebook has actually generated a mathematical formula to determine what makes it into the news feed. News of the EdgeRank formula made quite a splash at Facebook's f8 conference. The experts at TeachtoFish Digital can give you an inside look at the exact equation and break down some of the terminology.
What This Means to You
Facebook's EdgeRank news feed optimization has created a system that demands frequent and consistent interaction. If your content is not commented on, liked, and posted often, its EdgeRank score is probably circling the drain. But if you frequently post relevant and response-warranting content, you're more likely to show up in the news feed.
How to Relevantly Increase Your News Feed Presence
There are two kind of facebook feeds: the live feed and the news feed. The live feed posts events as they occur. The news feed is made up of what the EdgeRank formula picks out of your connection's profiles. The more you engage with a certain profile/person, the more likely it is that their updates and activities will end up in your news feed.
This is Facebook's way of saying, "I see that you comment on National Bank's status updates often, here's a link they just shared." Consultants at BrandGlue estimate that about 1 in 500 updates make it into the news feed. So if you only update your status once a week or once a month, you're less likely to make it out of the bottom of the pile. Similar to a lottery, the more entries you have, the more chances you have to "win."
You might have heard this tip before, but creating a social media editorial calendar can really help you stay on track. If you widen your content subject matter, you create more opportunities to reach previously untapped audiences. By mapping out your social media content, you can create a clear strategy for engagement with your customers effectively.
