Crusader benefits from Pink Ribbon Debit Card
Staff Report
Riverside Community Bank launched a Pink Ribbon Debit Card May 8 with a portion of the proceeds from the card to benefit Crusader Community Health.
Gina Caruana, Riverside Community Bank's vice president/retail manager, explained: "It is estimated that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. More than 200,000 will be diagnosed this year. The good news is that when breast cancer is detected in the early, localized stage, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent. Riverside Community Bank wants to help give every woman in the Rockford community access to the tests and screenings that can save lives."
Joan, a Crusader Women's Center patient, is one such woman whose early screening may have saved her life. Joan was already utilizing Crusader's services for previous medical issues when a clinical breast exam discovered several masses in one of her breasts. She was able to receive a mammogram and surgical biopsy was performed. Thankfully, the results showed no cancer.
"Being aware of what's going on in my body is a tremendous asset to my future health," said Joan. "Knowing that the resources at Crusader are available to help me stay healthy is invaluable."
When Riverside Community Bank's Pink Ribbon debit card is used for signature-required, credit transactions, a portion of the fees collected will benefit the Crusader Community Health Women's Center, where women can receive clinical breast exams and preventive care at an affordable cost. The money will help increase access for low-income women who are eligible for Crusader Community Health's sliding fee scale.
Nancy Halverson, chief quality officer for Crusader Community Health said: "The lack of access for these preventative services is demonstrated by a waiting list of more than 200 women for the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program coordinated by the Winnebago County Health Department. That program provides our low-income female patients with the breast exams they need."
Crusader Community Health is one of 1,200 community health care clinics in the country. Last year through its four locations, it served 44,684 local residents, many of whom were women and children. Crusader's mission is to provide high-quality health care for all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Visit www.crusaderhealth.org for more information.

Aline Romero
"Glass offers as many possibilities as it does challenges, which inspires me to create and share my designs with society."
"In 2006 I got accepted at the National School of Fine Arts, where I have been acquiring a deeper knowledge and understanding contemporary art. It has inspired in me the desire to contribute with my own art, my way of perceiving reality, and I have realized that the best medium to convey it is through glass. It has been present in human history for centuries and that even today remains innovative.

SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard (HPQ.N) will pay $108 million and one of its subsidiaries will plead guilty to bribery charges over its role in a scheme to secure a contract with a Russian government office, the Justice Department said on Wednesday.
HP units in Poland and Mexico also resolved criminal charges related to contracts in those two countries, the department said.
The Securities and Exchange Commission entered into a related settlement with the computing giant over allegations that its subsidiaries made improper payments to government officials in order to obtain contracts, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
HP's Russia subsidiary paid more than $2 million in bribes to obtain a contract with the federal prosecutor's office, the SEC said.
In Poland, an HP unit provided gifts and cash worth more than $600,000 to obtain contracts with a national police agency, it said.
And in Mexico, an HP subsidiary paid more than $1 million in inflated commission in order to seal a software deal with Mexico's state-owned petroleum company, the agency said.
On Wednesday, Polish prosecutors alleged that a local HP executive paid bribes worth over $500,000 in exchange for help winning contracts to supply computer equipment to Polish police headquarters.
"The misconduct described in the settlement was limited to a small number of people who are no longer employed by the company," John Schultz, HP's executive vice president and general counsel said in a statement on Wednesday.
"HP fully cooperated with both the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission in the investigation of these matters and will continue to provide customers around the world with top quality products and services without interruption."
The Justice Department said it acknowledged "extensive anti-corruption remedial efforts" the company undertook, including disciplining culpable employees and improving the company's internal controls.

Richard Carrion declares IOC bid
Updated: May 22, 2013, 9:42 AM ETAssociated Press
LONDON -- Richard Carrion of Puerto Rico has become the third member to enter the IOC presidential race, promising to use his business experience to guide the Olympic movement through the world's troubled financial times.
The 60-year-old Carrion, who chairs the IOC finance commission and negotiates lucrative television rights deals, formally declared his candidacy on Wednesday.
Carrion tells The Associated Press "I have been in positions where I have maneuvered in difficult periods ...

With the acquisition of a West Michigan company, a California-based producer of specialty mushrooms plans to reinvigorate operations at a mostly idled food processing facility in Scottville, where it expects to grow 1 million pounds of fungi annually.
Grand Rapids-based Founders Brewing Co. cracked into the top 20 largest craft breweries in the nation last year, according to a new report from the Brewers Association.
Stakeholders in Site 36, the sprawling vacant property near the intersection of 36th Street and Clay Avenue SW in Wyoming, maintain that they're still being picky in finding the right one or two companies to develop the industrial location.
Grand Rapids-based Blackford Capital plans to launch a second private equity fund later this year that, like its predecessor, will focus on investing in manufacturing businesses in Michigan, MiBiz has learned.
Metabolic Solutions Development Co. plans to seek $25 million to $35 million in additional capital later this year to support the continued development of its new drug targets.
A combination of cost-cutting initiatives and pressures from customers to globalize production may prove to be a challenge in the coming years for West Michigan companies in the automotive supply chain.
While oil and natural gas production can be a fickle business, one West Michigan manufacturer has used the industry's boom-and-bust cycle to catapult its long-term strategic growth.
Every three years in late March, companies from across the plastics processing industry gather for NPE, a trade show and conference that is billed as the mecca for anyone wanting to see the latest in materials, machinery and technology.
Michigan's business community appears to lack a unified front as the May 5 election approaches for Proposal 1, a major ballot measure seeking to overhaul the state's mechanism for transportation funding.
It turns out that Hollywood, like most other industries, doesn't like uncertainty.
If two recent examples are any indication, companies in West Michigan seem attracted to the promise of securities-based crowdfunding, but often find better and more lucrative offers from traditional investment avenues.
Six weeks ago, when Family Christian LLC first filed for bankruptcy, the retailer articulated a plan that would save the company and help it emerge from its proverbial mountain of debt.
Millennials, as they pertain to nonprofit organizations today, may carry the "next generation donor" label. But in just five years, millennials will make up 50 percent of the workforce and create a defining culture of givers, according to the 2014 Millennial Impact Report.
The competitive landscape is changing for West Michigan companies.
Conceived two years ago as a car full of designers traveled back to West Michigan from a trade show, West Michigan Design Week is back for its second iteration. The weeklong series of events, which runs from Monday, April 6 through Saturday, April 11, features a variety of talks, exhibits and networking events.
Heading into its second year, West Michigan Design Week hopes to build on the success the program had in its inaugural year. Architect Greg Metz, a principal at Lott3Metz Architecture and a co-founder of West Michigan Design Week, spoke with MiBiz about what design culture means to the region and how architecture has an impact.
Tucker Viemeister was born of industrial design. His father, industrial designer Read Viemeister, named his son after the vehicle he was designing, the 1948 Tucker Sedan. Since growing up in the industry, Viemeister went on to found national design firms including Smart Design, frogdesign NY and others. He was also responsible for designing the OXO Good Grips line of kitchenware. Viemeister will be speaking on April 7 during West Michigan Design Week. Prior to the talk, Viemeister spoke with MiBiz about the future of the industrial design field and his career.
The design process doesn't have to be inclusive solely to designers. That's the philosophy of Liz Sanders, a professor of design research at Ohio State University and founder of Make Tools. Sanders, who originally studied anthropology and who holds an advanced degree in experimental psychology, has spent her career encouraging designers to collaborate with end users and other disciplines to produce better products. Prior to her talk April 10 during the West Michigan Design Week, she spoke with MiBiz about her design philosophy, its impact on businesses and society and how design will be shaped in the future.

New Tech-Infused Luxury Goods for Hollywood
The growing use of scanning and 3D technology is changing the way we buy made-to-measure luxury goods.
IOMA and The Left Shoe Company are utilizing innovative technologies that allow for ultra-customized skincare and footwear. MykitaMylon, the German line of eyewear, is manufactured with 3D printing. Augment, an augmented reality app, allows users to visualize 3D models of prospective website purchases. Adidas stores feature the BodyKinectizer, an interactive fitting room. All are examples of how technology is revolutionizing custom-fit luxury goods.
PHOTOS: 25 Beauty Products Hollywood Can't Live Without
IOMA founder Jean Michel Karam brought the French skincare line to the United States in 2011. The company uses proprietary technology to analyze the condition of an individual's skin and prescribes a customized skin regimen based on the results. IOMA also measures the effectiveness of its products -- sold exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue stores -- before and after, so customers can track their progress throughout and measure the treatment's effects. Rihanna, Sofia Vergara and Dominic Cooper have been spotted visiting the IOMA counter.
At the Left Shoe Company, customization begins with scanning a customer's feet with a 3D scanner that takes a 360-degree image yielding an extremely precise measurement. The customer then chooses the shoe's silhouette, color, size, material and sole. The shoes are handmade in Portugal to the scan's specifications using fine leather and suede tanned in Italy. The company counts Michael Jordan, Joe Manganiello and Adam West as customers.
"They love the concept of being able to personalize and customize the shoe," says Left Shoe's president and co-founder Patrick Mayworm. "I think it's just the beginning stage of something that's going to take off fairly quickly, because the technology is there."

Gestation GuestimationPosted Saturday, September 29, 2012, at 12:51 PM
Birth of child, has wondrous worth,
It seems, few people understand,
All that God put into 'Birth,'
Before holding child in hand.
(and all the mothers say)
By Arley Steinhour 092912
My first thought was kind-of smug,
What is this thing called Life,
I live, I'm warm and Oh-so snug,
Where is this mortal thing called Strife?
as guest, in womb, I grow, and on my way,
I feel my person taking shape,
Trimester One, behind this soul called me,
One by one, many soul's weren't there,
Your answer gave me peaceful pause,
Trimester Two completed, growing like a tree,
I'm really getting anxious now,
His chuckle, comes to this anxious heart,
Words can't express the tribulation pain,
Arriving to the here and now, a shock,
Praise & Poetry

Simple but effective clip

Some restraints have fiddly clips or the clips are not long enough to reach restraining points on bondage crosses etc.
These clips are great for solving this problem as they are simple to attach and give extra length to reach restraining points.
A must-have accessory to make your fun easier!
- Pros
- Simple and effective.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great accessory for BDSM!

You can never have enough
Reviewed: 12 August 2014 by Cowboy81, a Straight Married Male
I have several clips that have come with gear, but you can never have enough of these things.
The clips came in the usual, discreet packaging inside a clear plastic bag, accompanied with the Bondage Boutique loyalty card.
The clips do exactly what they are meant to and have a nice feel about them. The weight is enough to know they are strong and well made, while the action moves smoothly.
Since more clips means more options, can you really have too many of these to hand?
- Pros
- Weight and feel; also the clip works smoothly.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- You can always use a few clips to hand.

"additional seven days" of free game time for those affected (everyone).
The relaunched MMO will be taken offline for emergency maintenance work in a bid to alleviate the troubles. Registering before September 9th expires will net you this extra free 7 days.
Square simply underestimated the crush of players logging into the overhauled MMO, which was originally plagued by 'poor design choices' and taken offline.
"Because login and character creation restrictions have hindered our ability to provide quality service, all Final Fantasy 14 service accounts will receive an additional seven days of free play time," Square Enix said.
"Furthermore, users who have yet to enter their registration codes will receive an additional seven-day trial should they register before 11.59 pm (PDT) on September 9, 2013. Moving forward, we will continue monitoring the servers to ensure that quality service and support are provided in a timely manner."
This emergency maintenance is from today at 5.00pm PDT for 10 hours. The studio plan on "increasing the number of available Worlds, reducing stress on the Duty Finder servers, and increasing the number of concurrent logins allowed for each server", i.e. switch their systems to 'MMO mode'. It's a bold plan that might just work.

September 17, 2013
U.S. Senators Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., have just introduced legislation they say would support the American trade economy and significantly strengthen American ports.
The Maritime Goods Movement Act for the 21st Century would replace the Harbor Maintenance Tax, designed to fund the operation and maintenance of American ports, replacing it with the Maritime Goods Movement User Fee. The measure is an effort discourage shippers from diverting American-bound goods through Canadian or Mexican ports simply to avoid American taxes.
The two senators claim the bill would also dramatically improve support for infrastructure investments at American ports by ensuring that all of the proceeds from the user fee are spent annually for port operation and maintenance. Currently, only half of the tax revenue collected through the HMT each year is actually spent on port upkeep. This say the bill would enable full investment of fee collections, nearly doubling the amount of funds available to American ports each year.
The legislation would also set aside portions of the user fee to support critical low-use ports and to create a competitive grant program to improve the U.S. intermodal transportation system
The full text of the legislation is available here.

Q. What's your favorite place you visited because of your beat?
A. It feels odd to say Sydney, Australia, because of what I loved about it most: The place felt – and looked – so much like home. I was there for a month for the 2000 Summer Olympics, an assignment during which the combination of 18-hour work days and the worst sore throat ever inflicted on a human being drained me of energy, spirit and approximately 15 pounds. Given my mental and physical states, maybe the sands and surf of Bondi Beach were more welcoming than normal. But I have to say, the first time I saw Bondi, I felt like I was home in Huntington Beach. From that moment, I loved everything about Sydney, even the Vegemite. The other thing I'll always remember fondly about that trip is the national pride displayed by the Aussies. It was genuinely important to them that all visitors enjoyed their Olympic experience. True story: One of my colleagues met a local woman – a wife and mother – on a train and, after about 15 minutes, she invited him into her home to have dinner with her family. He even wrote a column about it.
Q. What place do you think is the most overrated?
A. If you're like me, you probably never have found yourself thinking "I wonder what it would be like if they staged the Winter Olympics in Flint, Mich.?" Well, I received the answer anyway, in 2006, in Turin, Italy. I know, much of Italy is beautiful, with great food and wine and rolling hills and vistas and food and wine. They don't write songs about a place because no one likes it there, and they've written plenty of songs about Rome and Venice and the like. You don't, however, hear many people crooning on about downtown Turin. The mountain venues during the 2006 Games were spectacular. The venues closer to the city center – ah, not so much. Unless you enjoy dirty, slushy snow; locals who make it abundantly clear they are being inconvenienced by your presence; and an overwhelming general grayness. The large, abandoned former Fiat plant was a charming touch, though.
Q. What place do you most want to visit that you haven't yet?
A. OK, so technically I have been to Stockholm, just not for long enough. It was during a season-opening trip involving Anaheim's NHL team, in October of 2011. The Ducks employ Teemu Selanne, who, in his home country of Finland, is considered a god, only with more devout followers. So the NHL, in an attempt to cash in on Selanne's popularity, scheduled the Ducks to spend six days in Helsinki, followed by a stop in Stockholm – and by stop, I mean about 18 hours. Helsinki was interesting. Right on the water. Decent folks. Fun bars, some of which never seemed to actually close. But Stockholm? A different planet. Incredible architecture, winding waterways and beautiful people – everywhere. Another NHL team that opened the 2011-12 season in Europe was the New York Rangers. The Rangers spent their entire time in Stockholm. To understand how great the city is, consider that the writers covering the Rangers didn't want to leave, knowing they would be returning to uninteresting, mundane New York City.
Brad A. Johnson, Restaurant Critic
Q. What's the best restaurant meal you've ever had outside of Orange County?
A. That's a loaded question. There are so many that come to mind, each for different reasons. One of the most memorable was the kaiseki dinner at Kozue, one of the finest restaurants in Tokyo. The chef's tasting menu, or kaiseki, comprised about 25 courses over three to four hours and included several dishes made with fugu, which is the poisonous blowfish that only the most highly trained chefs in Japan are licensed to handle. On the other end of the spectrum was a dinner aboard a rickety wooden boat in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor. The boat, which seats five or six people at most, is pushed like a gondola into the harbor, where it is tied to another boat of similar size, called Shun Kee, that serves as the floating kitchen. Waiters crawl from boat to boat delivering stir fried sea snails, braised pork intestines, garlicky lobster and ice-cold beer. Shun Kee is one of the only restaurants in Hong Kong that keeps alive this almost-lost culinary tradition of the area's nomadic boat people, who live their entire lives on boats like this. It's a style of Chinese food you can't find anywhere else.
I love London for its sheer variety of restaurants. I believe London has surpassed New York as the restaurant capital of the world. And I always love going to Italy, especially southern Italy – Naples, Matera, Sicily, Puglia – where the Slow Food movement is inextricably ingrained in the lifestyle. I believe Las Vegas is the best place in the world for steak. The street food in Vietnam always blows my mind. And the ham in Spain … I get goosebumps just thinking about it. Also it is amazing to tour the wine and truffle trail of Western Australia's Margaret River Valley. The truffles are as good, perhaps even better, than the Perigord truffles of France. And the wineries are some of the best in the Southern hemisphere. And I travel frequently to Mexico, always with food in mind, whether it's the cemitas and chalupas in Cholula and Puebla, or the incredible fine dining restaurant scene in San Miguel de Allende or Mexico City.
Q. What place in the world had the most disappointing food overall?
A. Well, I sincerely believe that Paris is the easiest city in the world in which to have a bad meal. The city overflows with beautiful restaurants that serve truly awful food. I guess they're catering to tourists who don't know better. Granted, Paris has some extraordinary restaurants, but you really have to do your research ahead of time and plan your meals in Paris very carefully. And the food is Russia is almost universally terrible. There is so much new money in Russia yet such very poor taste.
Q. Where in the world would you like to visit to try the food?
A. I almost always decide where I want to travel based on what I'll be eating once I get there. And I've made a pretty good dent in my bucket list already, but there are still a few places whose food stirs my wanderlust. I'm itching to go back to Tokyo to do a multi-day tour of the city's best ramen shops. And I'm looking forward to another trip to Sonoma's Russian River Valley, which has undergone quite a boom in restaurants in the past few years.

One of my maple trees in my yard started drying out since last week. We are thinking that it is because it hasn't been raining since about 10 days. I attached a picture from the leaves and I hope I can get your advice.
This maple tree is about 4 years old and planted in a sandy soil. I was also thinking it might be because of that.

When you go to the supermarket in the United States, you probably see green plantains next to the sweet bananas in the produce section. Green plantains have a firmer peel, less sugar, and you need a knife to remove the skin. If you go to a Hispanic grocery store, you will most certainly see plantains sold in two different stages of their maturity. The green variety, and the really ripe kind that are used for a side dish called, maduros, or sweet fried plantain. Both green and ripe plantains are traditionally cooked before eating, unlike the regular Chiquita banana that we generally eat raw in our cereal or in a fruit salad.
My preferred method of preparation for plantains is the fried, green variety. Plantains go by a few different names, depending on where you eat them. Among Colombians and Ecuadoreans, they are known as patacones. In Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic they are called tostones. Guatemalans refer to them as tajadas and Haitans simply say bannan fris. Tostones, patacones, tajadas, bannan fris, whatever you choose to call them, they are sure to become one of your preferred side dishes or snacks, as long as you serve them freshly made with a little homemade salsa on the side.
The recipe I share with you here is pretty straightforward. Unless of course, you want me to include the small variation on the recipe that I learned about while sitting in a Colombian beauty parlor in Cartagena, Colombia back in the year of 2001. You see, the pension where I was staying in Cartagena had a small issue with running water. In fact, the issue was so significant that a change of accommodations was in order, as soon as we could possibly get a room elsewhere. In that interim, before another room was available down the street, I had to figure out what I would do with my hair. Ordinarily, I could have lasted a few days longer without a shampoo, but I was in Cartagena, a Carribean city on the coast of Colombia, where the evening breeze is warm, moist, salty, and brisk at times. My hair by day two of my trip was a snarly piece of salt water taffy that no brush could penetrate. Yes, it was that bad…
Had my hair been a bit longer, I might have gotten it braided by one of the Coastal women on the beach who walked along announcing their mobile , "trenzas" businesses. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough hair on my head to make the braid option work, so I went in search of a beauty parlor, and I ended up with more than a washed and styled head of hair.
It didn't take me that long to find a beauty parlor in Cartagena. The woman who took care of me was the owner of a small salon near my pension and she was fascinated by me, a young North American woman with such a expansive knowledge of Colombian cuisine. She asked me what I liked most about the cuisine of "La Costa", and I explained that I was partial to patacones. From that moment, she launched into a step by step cooking lesson while she ran the comb through my freshly shampooed head of hair. Everything she told me, sounded like the recipe I will share with you now, except for one detail. She explained that in between the first and second frying of the plantains, I should dip the plantain piece quickly in garlic water before I return it to the frying pan for a second fry. This step, she assured me, would give the patacon extra crispiness and a little extra flavor. Although I don't always dip my patacones in garlic water, I do it from time to time. I especially like to try out the "hairdresser variety" if I am entertaining. I normally prepare one set of patacones with the garlic water, and another set without the water. Then I let the guests tell me which patacones they like best. And of course, I get throw in my tale of how I came about this recipe one hot day in Cartagena, Colombia in late December of 2001.
Ingredients 2 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1 inch thick pieces 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 cup cold water 1 cup canola oil Salt
Equipment Frying pan Metal tongs A glass or Miss Tostonera for flattening the plantains
Preparation Place the chopped garlic clove in a bowl of water and set aside.
Remove the plantain skin. Cut off the ends and cut the plantain in half so you have two 4-5 inch long pieces. With a knife, carefully cut a slit down the length of the two plantain pieces, being careful not to cut into the plantain. With a spoon, peel back the skin without pulling off pieces from the plantain. Once you have removed the peel, cut the plantain crosswise into 1 inch thick pieces.
Prepare a plate lined with paper towels, while heating the oil in a pan.
When the oil is hot, place the plantain pieces in the pan. Cook until golden on all sides for about 2-3 minutes. Be careful to remove them before they turn brown. Place them on the plate and pat with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Turn off the oil while preparing to flatten the plantain pieces with either a glass or a Miss Tostonera tool. This tool can be found in Hispanic grocery stores.
Flatten the plantain pieces one by one and return to the plate.
Heat the oil again and prepare the plantain pieces to be quickly dipped in the garlic water before returning to the frying pan. Be careful not to keep the plantain piece in the water for too long, as the plantain will fall apart.
Carefully return the flattened plantain pieces to the frying pan and monitor closely. Turn the pieces with metal tongs and fry for a total of about 3-4 minutes until golden on both sides.
Place the fried plantain pieces on a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil. Move to a fresh plate and salt generously. Serve immediately as an appetizer or a side dish.

Come to Como

Fast boat back, ferry home and we enter our warm apartment at approx 7pm, in time to cook dinner.
Como, well it is not what we expected, much more suburban. However, glad we came to experience and see how those with lots of money actually holiday.

Sparkling Lights in Lugano
We arrived in this beautiful city at dusk so we weren't able to get the most out of it. Stayed there only for one hour and we spent that time in Parco Civico capturing the flickering lights of the city surrounded by mountains. The view from the shores of Lake Lugano was fascinating. It's truly a must-visit city and I'd love to go back and see it in broad daylight. ...
Not so glamorous Bergamo
... to reach there.
Well from the outside of city there is a breathtaking view of the upper town but once you are in it I woudn't say the same. Still there is plenty to see wandering around the streets and lots of lovely churches to explore. But it's definitely not the best medieval town in Italy.
Bergamo and the Alps
... On the way, we stopped and got some strawberry chocolate fondue because it was the Chocolate Festival that weekend in Bergamo. We took a little trolley up the side of the mountain (think the Pittsburgh Incline if you have been there). We walked the winding cobblestone streets until we found the main plaza. We went up into the Campanone (a bell tower), which overlooked the upper city and lower city along with ...

... actually very faded and one of the disciples has no facial features visible. In 1652 the monks wanted a quicker access to the kitchen so they actually cut a door through the wall cutting off parts of the painting including Jesus' feet! There are of course no photos allowed inside so I will post a stock photo for you to reference. Da Vinci paid a great deal of attention to detail and small things like shadows of even the nails holding up the tapestry in the painting ...

The 2013 Supermoon lit up the night sky over the weekend and worldwide viewers who were able to capture images of the spectacular phenomenon shared in on the internet. Those who were not able to witness the Supermoon, web site Space.com offers a free webcast on Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT (0100 June 24, Monday) courtesy of the Slooh Space Camera.
Here is the web site link: http://www.space.com/19195-night-sky-planets-asteroids-webcasts.html
Geoff Chester of the US Naval Observatory explained the importance of the 2013 Supermoon to the viewers. "It gets people out there looking at the moon and might make a few more people aware that there's interesting stuff going on in the night sky," Chester stated.
During the Supermoon's peak, it appears approximately 12.2% bigger when farthest away from planet Earth during its apogee. Moreover, the Supermoon's proximity with the perigee results to a noticeably huge difference on high or low tides and the high tides will actually be delayed up to a few days depending on a precise coastal site.
Web site LiveScience spoke with Jason Mrachina, an Iowa-based photographer, who shared why taking pictures of the moon are usually disappointing. "To your camera, the moon is extremely bright, especially compared to a black background," Mrachina explained.
The photographer further added: "It's kind of akin to taking a picture of a bare light bulb in a black room, and wondering why you can't see the filament. When you're shooting at night, the relative difference between light and dark is extremely high, so you have to take that into consideration."
Jason Mrachina noted that the right equipment is necessary to yield high-quality Supermoon images like long lens and tripod. "If you take the photo with a camera phone, or a wide-angle point-and-shoot without an optical zoom, you're going to be unhappy because the moon is going to look tiny in the image. With too wide of an angle, you don't get much of the moon to fill the frame," Mrachina shared.
Take a look at the shared images of the 2013 Supermoon from social networking sites Twitter and Tumblr that were captured worldwide.
