Marni's foray into furniture is simple, colourful and beautiful
We sit down a lot, and complain when we're not – so it's definitely become a priority to have a sturdy base for our caboose. Luckily for us, designers make sure that our good-taste eye doesn't become blinded by our desperation for any surface to sit on. Now, even luckier for us is clothing label Marni making a foray into furniture design at this year's Milan Furniture Fair.
A limited edition series of 80 chairs, 10 deckchairs and 10 tables in an assortment of colours and models have been created as part of the label's charity project that's seen them collaborating with Columbian craftsmen (including ex prisoners) who've handmade the range. Using salvaged materials like concrete reinforcing bars to make the structures and plastic pipes to form the seats, Marni's signature colour blocking comes into play throughout. It's this simple blend of bright colours that have been specially selected by the Marni team and the basic structure of the pieces that works so brilliantly.

Once Upon a Time in China II is a 1992 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Tsui Hark, and starring Jet Li returning as Chinese folk hero Wong Fei-hung.[2] It is the second film and first sequel in the Once Upon a Time in China film series. The iconic theme song A Man Should Better Himself (男兒當自強) was performed again by George Lam in the beginning of the film, and by Jackie Chan in the end credits. (Chan also sang the Mandarin version.)
In 1895, during the late Qing Dynasty, Wong Fei-hung travels by train to Guangzhou to attend a seminar on Western and traditional Chinese medicine. He is accompanied by his romantic interest "13th Aunt" and student Leung Foon. He gives a lecture on the benefits of acupuncture while a fellow Chinese doctor, Dr Sun Yat-sen, who helps him translate for the predominantly foreign audience.
The seminar is disrupted by the fanatical White Lotus Society - an extreme nationalist cult led by the sinister and seemingly-invincible Priest Kung. The sect aims to drive all foreigners out of Canton and has been killing Westerners and destroying everything regarded alien to Chinese culture. Wong later learns that his translator friend Sun Wen is actually the leader of a group of pro-democratic rebels aiming to topple the Qing government and establish a republic in China. Sun and his friend Lu Haodong are heading to Hong Kong to continue with their plans for revolution.
Wong decides to assist Sun Wen and the rebels but they encounter a Qing official called General Nap-lan, who stands in their way. Chaos ensue when the White Lotus Society attacks a foreign-language school for children. 13th Aunt brings the students to hide in the British consulate. Nap-lan suspects that the rebels are also hiding in the consulate and he orders his men to disguise themselves as cult members and attack the building. Wong defends the consulate while Sun Wen escapes secretly. Nap-lan then enters the consulate under the pretext of protecting the foreigners from the cult, while using the opportunity to search for Lu Hao-tung. Lu disguises himself as Leung Foon and follows Wong out of the consulate safely, while Leung pretends to be Lu and lures Nap-lan away. To put an end to the White Lotus Society's evil activities, Wong and Lu travel to the sect's headquarters to confront Priest Kung. Wong defeats Kung in a fight and the cult disbands.
Wong, Lu and Leung proceed to retrieve a hidden list containing the names of the rebels but run into Nap-lan and his soldiers. Lu is shot by Nap-lan's troops, but he manages to burn the name list to prevent the government from taking it. Wong fights Nap-lan while Leung helps Lu burn the list. Leung almost burns a piece of cloth that wrapped the list, but saves it from the fire. Lu tells Leung to hurry and meet Sun at the pier, but then succumbs to his wounds. Wong and Leung try to escape, but are cornered by Nap-lan. Wong engages Nap-lan once more and kills him. As day breaks, Wong arrives at the pier just as Sun's boat is leaving. He hurls the cloth to Sun, who opens it up to reveal Lu's design of a flag for the Republic of China.

- The White Lotus cult in the film is based on a xenophobic underground society called the "Righteous Harmonious Fists" (also known as the "Boxers" of the Boxer Rebellion). The cult also has references to the historical White Lotus, such as the cult of Maitreya.
- An "Eastern Extension Australasia and China telegraph company" office can be seen, where the locals are demonstrating outside.

Reduce stepfamily stress with new holiday plans
Stepfamilies face unique challenges during the holidays, but with a little effort and a lot of patience, families can create memories instead of mayhem.
Joe Wilmoth, an assistant professor in Mississippi State University's School of Human Sciences, said people come into the holiday season with high hopes. These are compounded by the unrealistic expectations stepfamilies often have for their relationships.
"Developing relationships takes time," he said. "One myth about stepfamilies is that just because there is a lot of love in a new marriage, it will carry over to the children. Love is not automatic, and the complicating factors of holidays, custody and travel can turn a festive time of year into one fraught with tension."
Clear communication about schedules, traditions and gift-giving can help everyone feel like part of the celebrations, Wilmoth said.
"If a child has to be away from a custodial parent, understand that the child may feel resentful about being pulled away from friends, family and routines," he said. "Make sure the child feels like he is a part of the non-custodial family during the visit and not a guest.
"Children want to belong, and having a clearly identified sleeping arrangement and space, as well as rules to follow like other children in the house, will help them feel less like outsiders," Wilmoth said.
Sometimes a stepparent needs to step aside during the holidays to allow children time alone with their biological parent, Wilmoth said.
"When parents divorce, children lose the regular access they once had to one parent," Wilmoth said. "If that parent has remarried, the children may feel another barrier has been created. Time alone with their parent can help them feel connected."
Tommy Phillips, assistant professor in MSU's School of Human Sciences, has personal and professional experience with stepfamilies. Phillips met his wife, Laura, when her son was 5.
"During the holidays, my stepson likes to visit his dad," Phillips said. "I encourage him to spend time with his biological father. He loves his dad and looks up to him, but he also loves me and looks up to me. I recognize that when he expresses affection for his dad and wants to spend time with him, it's not a rejection of me."
Phillips, a family life expert, said it is important for stepparents to understand that their stepchildren may have mixed feelings toward them, the fact that one of their biological parents is elsewhere, or the current family arrangement. While this ambivalence may be a problem ordinarily, it can become even more evident during holidays.
"Sometimes stepchildren feel like they're betraying their biological parents if they show affection for their stepparents, or if they don't want to spend time with a noncustodial parent during the holidays," he said. "Or stepchildren can feel like they're being disloyal to their stepparents or their new family if they want to spend time during the holidays with their noncustodial parent."
Phillips said stepfamilies can be affected by behaviors, habits, attitudes, traditions and emotions from the previous marriage and family. He suggested involving stepchildren in developing new holiday traditions.
"Don't try to force stepchildren to adopt your traditions," he said. "Form new traditions with their input."
A holiday breakfast instead of dinner, opening presents on a different day or at a different time, or establishing a new gift-giving tradition, such as adopting a less fortunate family, can take the focus off of past practices.
If several family members who are not usually together will be under one roof, plan side-by-side activities, such as baking cookies, watching a movie or going to see holiday lights.
"Throughout the year, being a stepparent requires tons of patience and understanding," Phillips said. "The holidays require even more effort, but the outcomes can be worth the investment."

The Boy Scouts of America's new fitness standards for participating in the organization's annual Jamboree are so rigorous they would not just exclude chubby tenderfoots — they would even bar many NFL players.
All Scouts were required to have a physical exam in advance of the Jamboree and those with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater were barred from participating at this year's gathering, which features strenuous activities such as hiking, rock climbing, rappelling and biking. Scouts with BMIs between 32 and 39.9 had to provide additional health information to take on the 1,000-plus acre Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in West Virginia. But critics said excluding obese Boy Scouts goes against the spirit of the organization.
Patricia Bannon, a registered dietician and author of "Eat Right When Time Is Tight," told FoxNews.com she found no issue with the guidelines, but said those who were excluded from the fitness competition should still be allowed to participate in some modified way.

CanonRumours.com says that the upcoming Canon EOS 5D Mark IV sensor will employ the same dual-channel readout as the EOS C300 Mark II.

On first blush the XC10 appears to be a mash-up of Canon corporate bits combined and modified in a novel way, yielding a product addressing the gap between Canon's current lineup and its more innovative competitors in the video space.
Without cannibalizing existing sales.
A tough design brief, but they just may have pulled it off.
The XC10's non-interchangeable zoom lens (8.9mm– 89mm, f/2.8 – 5.6 is the full-frame equivalent of 27mm-270mm, f/5.6 – 16.8) will not give anyone shallow depth of field nor real low-light flexibility, even with a top ISO of 20,000. A 12-stop dynamic range is not going to wow anyone expecting a Sony competitor. The rear LCD flips up and down (very much like the Sonys) but not out. And the XC10 shoots UHD, not full 4K.

Magic Lantern keeps pushing the boundaries of the Canon DLSR platform.
They have recently announced that it is now possible, on the Canon 5D Mark III, for you to shoot at 40 frames per second at 1080 in RAW mode.
If you are shooting in 720 you can record up to 67fps in RAW.
You might be asking why this is such a big deal. Until now you were limited to only 30fps in full 1080. Many projects these days require the ability to shoot slow motion in 1080 is a necessity.
Until now my work around has been to shoot those productions that require slow motion in 24 fps for the main footage and then any b-roll I would shoot at 30fps and conform those to 24fps. This slows down the b-roll enough to really help create a cinematic look to the video.
That is the way I can stay in full 1080 resolution. With this workflow I can take the "edge" off the video but it still isn't really slow motion. I also shoot 30fps with a high shutter speed and can slow the footage down even more in post to get closer to real slow motion in 1080.
Now with the ability to go down to 40fps I can now start approaching true slow motion in 1080. If you need to push slow motion a little more you can still apply post production slow motion and those extra 10 frames per second really make a huge difference.
Make sure you download and try out a few features from Magic Lantern. It is like buying a whole new camera with new features. Happy shooting.

In the below video, YouTube user EXIV compares footage taken from a Canon 5D Mark III with that taken from a OnePlus One Android phone.
He writes, "The aim of this test is exclusively to compare how the OnePlus One performs respect the Canon 5D Mark III in a ideal light condition. In this case I am pleased to notice that the OPO performed incredibly well, but no doubts that the Canon 5D Mark III is obviously still the best option for filmmakers for all the many reasons that make a DSLR what it is. But it is interesting also to notice that, in terms of dynamic range, the OPO performed incredibly well compared with the 5D, and I can tell you that with a similar exposure, there is almost no difference between the two."

An inspiring new photo show explores how photographers confront and, in many cases, overcome depression and mental illness through creating images. Founded in 2012, the Broken Light Collective provides photographers of all skill levels, who are affected by mental health challenges, with a safe and supportive environment in which to display and develop their work.
The new show, titled From Darkness to Light: Photographs by Broken Light Collective, includes selections from the group, which is comprised of over 10,000 photographers from more than 150 countries. The 36 photographers featured in the exhibition come from all over the globe and have been affected by a range of conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, addiction, and autism.
The goal of the group, according to a recent story in the New York Times, is to use the art of photography as an effective means to fight the stigma and raise public awareness while enhancing the lives of those affected by mental illness.
From Darkness to Light is curated by Danielle Hark and presented through the Fountain Gallery Visiting Artists Program.
The show is on display at the Fountain Gallery, Fountain Gallery, 702 Ninth Avenue in New York City until August 13th.

Mr. Bailey, would you swear in front of the Queen?
No, if you're going to accept the Queen you have to accept the tradition. You know, I've got nothing against monarchy. I think there are too many hangers-on, but that's also a cliché thing to say. I doubt she'd be too shocked. She's been around; she's not stupid.
You recently took the official photo for her 88th birthday.
Yes and I think she looks incredible for 88. I had never photographed her before.
Why not?
I wouldn't photograph anybody if they only give you five minutes. I don't care who it is. I don't care if God phoned me up and said, "I want a picture, I've only got five minutes." I'd say, "Well, work some of your magic and make it longer!" Even though I'm actually quicker than most and I usually get bored before they get bored.
What kind of people are the most difficult to photograph?
Lots of politicians are so full of themselves. Sports people too a bit. But actors are the most difficult because you never know who you're photographing. They could be Hamlet or Lassie. But the fewer people they come with, the more interesting they usually are. Johnny Depp came with nobody so I knew it was going to be all right. Jack Nicholson never came with anybody, but Jack's different because I've known him for so long.
You once said Jack Nicholson is the smartest actor because he knows something nobody else does. What is it that he knows?
I don't fucking know. If I knew, I'd be as smart as him. (Laughs)
One of the things that fascinated me when I met him was his grin and the sparkle in his eye when he talked about women.
Yeah, with Viagra. He's the first person that told me about Viagra.
When was that?
Oh, years ago. Before everyone knew about it! (Laughs)
When you know someone very well like you do Jack Nicholson is it easier to take a great portrait of them?
It depends. It's one of those abstract things. We had a difficult bloke this week, what was he called? Van Morris or somebody… He was so grumpy. But I loved him being grumpy because I could use his grumpiness. I got a great grumpy picture out of him. If I see another picture of a rock 'n' roller against some graffiti… It drives you mad, the same old picture! Can't they ever think of something different to do? So I don't mind people that are difficult. I quite like that. It amuses me because there is always a way around it. I mean, no one could be more difficult than Van whatever he's called, Van Morrison.
It seems pointless to have your picture taken if you're not going to cooperate though.
Well he left really happy, Van Morrison. But it is kind of pointless to come here if you're not going to help me. They might not like the picture, but one day they will. One day that's what they're going to look like – whether they look like that or not. Medici said to Michelangelo, "That sculpture doesn't look like me." Michelangelo said, "Listen, you'll be dead in 20 years, but this will be around for 2,000 years. So, that's what you look like!" You could say that a bit with photography.
Does it often happen that people aren't happy with their portrait, but then years later change their mind?
Yeah. 10 years later usually. We had one recently, I won't mention his name, I shot him 30 years ago and he said, "I hate the picture." But his wife bought one for him as a birthday present recently. (Laughs) 30 years later and come get the picture.
Are celebrities more difficult nowadays than they were 30 or 40 years ago?
Well, I avoid celebrities. I'm not really interested in people that come with PR. That's probably why I can't work in America, because I don't take all that bullshit. I don't know how people like Bruce Weber manage, because it would drive me mad. All these silly people who don't know anything that come with celebrities and try to tell you what to do. It's madness! They brought it on themselves, the magazines. They should have been stricter. They should have said, "No, we're not showing you. We're doing the interview and that's that." But instead they pander to them and in the end they end up owning you. Those magazines are owned by the celebrities, really.
You don't strike me as the type to pander to anyone.
I never really read what people write about me, but the comments people made when doing this exhibition recently at the National Portrait Gallery are so stupid. "Oh, Bailey panders to these people." I don't pander to anybody. I just do the picture I do. I don't care who it is. And I won't do pictures if people want approval. It has always seemed stupid to me that they ask you to do something and then want to sort of tell you how to do it. What madness!
What about magazines?
In fact, the magazines only get one image. If they don't like it, then either I say to them, "I have another one," or else, "Forget it, don't publish it."
Does that limit the number of magazines you work with today?
I don't work for American Vogue anymore, for example. I'm great mates with Anna, I've known her for years, but it's not a question of friendship. It's just that I don't do what she wants and she doesn't do what I want.
Is it impossible for you to collaborate with people that are not exactly on your wavelength?
They're not even allowed to come on the set when I shoot, not the art director or the stylist or anyone. I've always been a bit like that. I remember British Vogue blackmailed photographers in the early days to get them to do what they wanted. They would say, "Well if you don't sign a contract, you can't work for us." And since there was nobody else to work for in England at that moment, you didn't really have an option. So I'm not very fond of the business people at Condé Nast. I've got nothing against the editors and the people that work there, but I think that the business people are less than… modern. (Laughs) I don't know where they're coming from! It's like leftover from a bygone age.
It's surprising that so much politics are involved in an industry that's supposed to be so creative.
Well Vogue will destroy itself if it goes on like that because everything that's run by accountants eventually vanishes up its own ass. The only reason I did fashion in the first place was because I thought, "If I'm going to do photography my way, the only way to be creative and get paid is to do fashion." So I stopped doing it in the '80s when I started directing more and more commercials.
How do you pick the people that you take portraits of?
I'm only interested in what I'm interested in.The rest just sort of happened that way. I mean, I knew Mick before he was anybody really, when he was still at the London School of Economics. So that's another accident in my life, that Mick happened to be a good mate.
You seem to have had all kinds of accidents happen to you. Didn't Freddie Mercury stick his tongue down your throat during the 1985 Live Aid concert?
Yeah he did. Him and Terry Richardson's father, they're the only two men who've managed to get their tongues in my mouth! (Laughs)
How many have tried?
Oh, lots. Once I was just in the club and I said, "Who is this old fuck who keeps buying me scotch and sodas?" And they said, "Oh, that's Francis Bacon." (Laughs) I didn't know who Francis Bacon was! But I always took it as a compliment. These silly people that say, "Oh, I was sexually assaulted because somebody grabbed my ass in a gay club." What are you doing in a gay club?
It's like going to the pool and complaining that you got wet.
True, if you don't get your ass grabbed, there's probably something wrong with you. Take it as an enjoyment! If you don't like it, don't go to gay clubs! Fucking idiots. I mean, when I was at school I had teachers try to kiss me all the time, so don't tell me. It's all bullshit. If you can't handle that, then how are you going to get through the rest of life? How are you going to cross the road?
Have you always had a bit of a temper?
Well, that's a funny story… During the war we got bombed and our flat was so destroyed that we had to move to the countryside. One time two boys said to me, "Would you like a blackberry?" and I said, "Yeah." So they gave me a blackberry. And they said, "Do you want another one?" I said, "Yeah, it was nice." And they gave me another one and said, "Did you like that?" I said, "Yes." And they said, "Well, we peed on those." So when they had gone I set fire to their fucking field. (Laughs)
How old were you?
About five. Five and a half maybe.

BlackMagic's DaVinci Resolve has for along time been the industry leader in color grading software for movie industry professionals. When the company released the free version of Resolve lite several years ago movie makers around the country began to take notice, and began using it on independent or low-budget projects; from music videos to feature documentaries.
What's New
The release of DaVinci Resolve 11 beta, now delivers a full featured non-linear editing system (NLE) to manage everything from media management through editing and grading through finishing, all in one powerful, high-end system.
Editing in Resolve 11
For those movie makers whose NLE loyalty remains with Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple's Final Cut Pro X, Resolve 11 brings improved round trip collaboration features. These allow indie directors cutting their movies in PPro and FCP X to easily move their edit to a post-production company for final color grading and finishing. Perfect when independent documentaries and features find backing for mainstream release.
Color Grading in Resolve 11
BlackMagic DaVinci Resolve 11 Enhancements
Resolve 11′s improved collaboration workflow tools enable editors and colorists to work on different workstations simultaneously while sharing the same timeline. This allows feature film and television creative teams to work faster and in sync.
BlackMagic has also improved DaVinci Resolve 11′s color correction tools. Its new color grading and RAW image controls will be especially welcomed by stills photographers who are in the process of becoming digital cinematographers and directors.
This new version includes controls already familiar to RAW photo processing software users - highlight and shadow recovery, mid-tone detail enhancement, color boost, saturation, lift, gain and contrast. Some hybrid stills/video photographers have reportedly been using Resolve Lite for stills images. This new version should tempt many more to do that and apply it to their video footage too.
DaVinci Resolve 11 has now also become an on-set asset management tool through secure backup and saving of your digital camera files via its new clone tool. The tool copies memory cards, media drives and camera packs to multiple back up drives at the same time. Clone backups can be done with DaVinci Resolve Lite 11 on your Mac Book Pro or Windows laptop or through DaVinci Resolve 11 full version in your video village.
These enhancements are just the tip of the iceberg. For more information go to the BlackMagic Design DaVinci Resolve pages. If you are new to DaVinci Resolve, it's a good idea to get a feel for things by trying out the full version by downloading DaVinci Resolve 11 Lite.

San Miguel de Allende Ribbon Curtains -- And a "Martha Stewart" Home on a Budget
First the New York Times,
Then The Today Show . . .
Both Featured a Couple Who Live off $20,000
a Year. And in Martha Stewart Style!!
Artist Michael Flemming lives in Maine with his partner, Jennifer Wurst, whom he says can easily stretch a nickel into a dollar. And one dollar into five. He told The Today Show in an interview this morning that the couple can be driving or walking down a street and Jennifer will invariably find something -- a treasure in her eyes -- on the side of the road. Of course, they pick it up to incorporate -- somehow -- into their clean but elegant decor.
The driftwood art on the left side on the dining room wall was made by the couple. They pay $600 in rent and everything in their home is re-purposed. If something breaks, then Michael fixes it. Their second highest expenditure, after the rent, is for groceries. They prepare all their meals, using fresh and healthy ingredients.
Jennifer says she feels they live well . . . purposefully and completely. They do have Internet, but they say no to cable TV. They split wood to keep warm, and the state provides their health care. She doesn't expect their life to change; after all, they have it all -- including a toddler son.
If you'd like to see and hear the TV interview with this couple and be further inspired, please click here.

I thought the Maine couple -- two rooms of their home are pictured above -- offered a rich and inspirational message. One that seemed worthy sharing with you all.
Ribbon Curtain Inspiration from San Miguel de Allende
My friend, Barbara -- recently sent me a couple of photos. She snapped them when visiting a mutual amiga. That friend -- Jan, has a home in the Texas Hill Country and a keen eye for design and detail. (I featured her outdoor kitchen and entertaining arena in a past post. She can see and read about it, here.
Barbara says Jan got the idea for her new window treatment (above) when visiting San Miguel de Allende last year or so.
The colorful ribbons offer such a fun and easy decorative solution for a door window that I had to share it! Install a rod and drap the ribbons over it. There you have it. You could tie them at the top, too. I might be inclined to do the latter. Then, anchor the ribbons with a variety of decorative beads -- as seen below.
Tying beads at the bottom of the ribbons help keep them all in place.
To create a festive mood for a party or occasion, you could also change out your windows with the seasons. Don't you think? Red, green and white for Christmas. Or how about gold, green and purple for Mardi Gras?
Thanks, Barbara -- and Jan!! -- this is such a cool idea!
Remember to Enter Our GiveAway.

Exploring Light and Space with Holography
Larry Lieberman discusses investigations of the concepts of light and space from his perspective as an artist active in the field of holographic art.
His talk is in conjunction with Translating Solids: The Holographic Image, an exhibition on view at Hopkins Hall Gallery and Corridor from February 28 through March 16.
Presented by Ohio State's Colleges of the Arts and Sciences, College of the Arts, College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Department of Art, Department of Physics, and Hopkins Hall Gallery and Corridor. Cosponsored by the Wexner Center.
Lieberman has been a working artist since 1977. After studying painting, printmaking, and photography at Ohio State, and earning a B.F.A., he set up an independent study program between the university's art, electrical engineering, and physics departments to further study art and holography. He later attended The San Francisco School of Holography and attended and lectured at workshops at Lake Forest College in Chicago on holography and phonics. Lieberman has been producing and helping other artists produce holographic art for 30 years.

Ted wrote about it last September, and today, on the eve of the Steelers-Packers Super Bowl, it became a reality: Jerome Bettis will not be a part of the Hall of Fame class of 2011. Center Dermontti Dawson, who has been eligible for the hall since 2005, also missed the cut.
If there's a bright side (although I suspect Bussie and Dawson might have trouble seeing it at the moment), there's this, from Ted's original post:
Hopefully, [the Hall of Fame committee] will give Will Shields a similar, short-term shaft, which could allow for Dawson to sneak in with the 2012 class. That would make for a glorious honeymoon weekend if Bettis and Dawson are in the same Hall of Fame inductee class.
As the old saying goes: There's always next year.
For now, though, it's up to the Steelers to make this right by, you know, winning the Super Bowl by many, many touchdowns. I think Jerome and his big-ass Super Bowl ring would want it that way.

The 500 IBAs were chosen under a set of rigorous guidelines using four criteria
Sites containing a significant population of a federally-listed Endangered or Threatened Species
These sites are important to ensure adequate habitat for those species most at risk of extinction. In almost all cases, these sites are already given legal protection under the Endangered Species Act because of the presence of listed species. For those migratory Endangered Species that disperse over large areas, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service designates 'Critical Habitat' to provide an added layer of protection throughout the year, so that breeding and wintering sites will still be in pristine condition when birds return there during their annual cycles.
Sites containing significant populations of species listed on the U.S. Watch List
The WatchList is a list of bird species of conservation concern prepared by independent scientists as an early warning mechanism for wildlife managers. By providing adequate protection to these species, and the sites and habitats upon which they depend, we can help to avoid the possibility that they will eventually have to be listed as Endangered. In addition to species on the Watch List, which focuses on migratory species, the IBA map also includes sites for significant populations of non-migratory gamebirds, such as Greater and Lesser Prairie-Chicken, Greater and Gunnison Sage-Grouse, and Mountain and Montezuma Quail, which would otherwise qualify for inclusion in the Watch List because of their small or declining populations.
Sites that contain significant populations of species with restricted ranges
These species, though sometimes locally common, are vulnerable because habitat alterations over relatively small areas can quickly have a severe effect on their populations. In some cases, the U.S. has a special responsibility to protect these species because they occur only within our borders, and therefore, if they are to survive at all, must do so on U.S. soil. Some areas, such as the Southern Appalachians, that contain concentrations of unique subspecies of birds that normally nest much further north are also included, as these populations will likely differentiate into new unique species at some point in the future.
Sites that contain large concentrations of migratory birds during some part of the year
Some waterfowl species congregate at wetlands in massive flocks during parts of their annual cycle. Shorebirds too depend on multiple stopover sites to refuel along their migration routes. The loss of any one of these crucial staging areas could have a catastrophic impact on populations already stressed by the hardship of migration. Seabirds gather in huge 'cities' to nest on cliffs and oceanic islands. These colonies are vulnerable to oil spills, introduced predators, and human disturbance. Other sites are included on the map because they provide a first landing point for migrant species crossing open water, such as High Island Texas on the Gulf Coast; because they contain large nesting concentrations of colonial waterbirds such as herons and egrets; or because they have unique topography and funnel migrating birds of prey into narrow corridors where thermals can assist their laborious migrations.

Rainforests on fire: climate change is pushing the Amazon over the edgeMorgan Erickson-Davis
April 18, 2014
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and conducted by scientists from Woods Hole Research Center, took place over eight years in the southeast portion of the Amazon. To determine how burning affects area forests, the researchers compared the health and resiliency of three plots: one burned every year, one burned every three years, and one – their control plot – that was never burned.

The team assumed the plot burned annually would show more resistance to fire since frequent small burnings would limit the amount of burnable debris such as shrubs and branches. However, that was not the case.
"We burned both plots..and both plots responded really strongly to the fires," Dr. Paolo Brando, lead author of the study, told the BBC.
It turns out the drier-than-normal conditions the area experienced during the study led to more flammable debris in plots than the researchers expected.
"There was a shift in the system from a forest to a savannah-like environment…grasses were invading the forest and there were fundamental changes within the ecosystem," Brando told the BBC. He said grasses further increase the risk of fire as they can accumulate significantly more fuel than can native trees.
Unlike temperate forests such as those in the western U.S. and parts of Australia that are regarded as "burn ecosystems" due to their tolerance of wildfires, rainforests are not well-adapted to fire. Even small fires can have big impacts on forest structure and overall health, killing upwards of 40 percent of trees in a given area.
After rainforest is deforested through burning or other means, the area becomes hotter, drier, and colonized by grasses. In effect, it changes into an entirely different ecosystem, one that is more vulnerable to future fires. Photo by Paolo Brando.
The researchers also discovered that drought has a bigger impact on wildfire than they expected, even when infrequent. Since 2005, the Amazon has experienced the two most severe droughts on record; in 2007, NASA satellite data shows that fires in southeast Amazonia burned 10 times more forest than in an average climate year – an area the size of a million soccer fields.
"The forest didn't burn much in average years, but burned extensively in drought years," said co-author Michael Coe. "We tend to think only about average conditions but it is the non-average conditions we have to worry about."
But what if the non-average conditions become the new normal? Climate models indicate the Amazon is likely to experience ever-longer dry seasons in the future, leading to bigger and more frequent droughts. Studies show this climate change is a result of warmer temperatures in the tropical Atlantic, compounded by damaging land-use practices. Deforestation for lumber and ranching purposes, often through burning, worsens an already hot and dry situation.
"Burned plots were four degrees warmer because they had fewer leaves and less capacity to cool down the system through photosynthesis," Brando said. "So we have seen major changes, not only in species composition but in the functionality of the forest as well; it cycles less water because it is warmer and stores less carbon."
Previous studies mapped the extent and frequency of understory fires across a study area (green) spanning 1.2 million square miles (3 million square kilometers) in the southern Amazon forest. Fires were widespread across the forest frontier during the study period from 1999-2010. Recurrent fires, however, are concentrated in areas favored by the confluence of climate conditions suitable for burning and ignition sources from humans. Photo credit: NASA's Earth Observatory.
Repercussions of this shift are being felt throughout the Amazon. Interviews with indigenous communities indicate that rainfall patterns and river levels are changing, and the minor fires traditionally used for small-scale rotational agriculture are more difficult to control. They said that fires never used to invade the humid, intact forest; but now, drier conditions are allowing fires to spread further and faster than ever before.
What does this hold for the future of Amazon forests? Scientists simply do not know for sure. The computer programs used to predict future scenarios were made before it was known just how influential fires can be to rainforest ecosystems.
"None of the models used to evaluate future Amazon forest health include fire, so most predictions grossly underestimate the amount of tree death and overestimate overall forest health," Coe said.
The team's findings strongly indicate that droughts, fueled by climate change, are leading to significant and systemic drying shifts in Amazon rainforests, resulting in fires that are more frequent and more intense than ever before. It underlines the need for revamped climate modeling technology that considers fire, so that scientists can determine which areas will be most affected in the future.
"This study shows that fires are already degrading large areas of forests in Southern Amazonia," Brando said, "and highlights the need to include interactions between extreme weather events and fire when attempting to predict the future of Amazonian forests under a changing climate."

Sotheby's London Confirm Private Sales Gallery – artmarketblog.com
The Art Market Blog has obtained confirmation that Sotheby's London will be taking a space at 31 st George Street in London that will be dedicated to hosting private selling exhibitions. In the Autumn of 2011, Sotheby's New York launched a newly-constructed gallery space within their York Avenue headquarters, called S2.
At the time of the NY opening, Alex Rotter, Head of Sotheby's Contemporary Art department in New York, said: "We conceived of S2 in response to frequent requests from our clients to see works at Sotheby's for private sale as well as for auction. S2 can show works of art ranging from large-scale installations to more intimate objects, and will offer a new and exciting dimension to the Sotheby's experience that will help us to meet this growing demand." According to a Sotheby's spokesperson, Sotheby's New York has had about six shows a year since the launch.
Sotheby's have also found success with private selling exhibitions held in Hong Kong s in their new gallery space on the fifth floor at One Pacific Place. A show of Modern Masters which included works by Picasso, etc. was well received and an exhibition of works by Yayoi Kusama held in May 2012 was nearly sold out.

Samsung has released the Galaxy Beam, and users are clamoring to learn more about its quirkiest feature – a fully functional projector.
The smartphone is able to project what is on its screen through the pico projector that is located at the top of the phone. The digital light projector (DLP) inside the Galaxy Beam, which is made by Texas Instruments, projects 15 lumens of light and can display the images at a maximum of 50 inches wide at a resolution of 640×360 pixels. As with any kind of projector, normal or attached to a smartphone, the image is at its best quality when used in a dark environment, with the image projected onto a light surface.
Like a flashlight, it beams out the phone screen image with the simple press of a button on the phone's right spine. Once the projector is activated, an app is activated that allows you to adjust the image's focus or rotate the image. The "quick pad" can also be launched, which gives you the ability to annotate the projected image with a pen or move around a pointer.
The "visual presenter" feature allows you to use your phone to capture the image of documents and 3D objects and project them. The ambience mode lets you set an ambience by displaying an image with a background song of your own choosing for hours at a time.
Having a projector on a mobile phone is definitely cheaper and more convenient than buying and transporting a standalone projector. While the main application for this feature would be in business (to show presentations with the files that you can download into your phone), other applications include media projections (an impromptu movie, for instance) and logo/brand projections in events and concerts.
As a phone, the Samsung Galaxy Beam is powered by Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and has the standard features for text, email, and multimedia sending, music player, browser, Bluetooth, and WiFi connectivity.
The Samsung Galaxy Beam is Samsung's third mobile phone project to feature a fully-functional projector. The first two, the Haptic Beam and the AMOLED Beam, were not released outside Asia.

Their work was selected as one of the few winners out of nearly 12,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries.
Spybaiting is a new technique that surfaced from Japan during the last year for catching freshwater bass in clear, pressured fisheries. This one-minute commercial tip highlights the effectiveness and fundamentals of the technique and gives anglers an underwater view of the presentation from a fish's vantage point. To watch the video, go tohttp://www.wired2fish.com/the-effectiveness-of-spy-baiting/.
The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 and is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.
"The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video," said Linda Day, executive director of the Telly Awards. "Wired2fish's and Lindner Media's accomplishments illustrate their creativity, skill, and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production."
"We're proud of the piece and feel fortunate to have been selected out of so many entries for such a small niche such as fishing," said Jason Sealock, vice president of Wired2fish, Inc. "We work hand-in-hand with Lindner Media to storyboard our ideas, making sure we cover topics that will help anglers with their fishing in short concise segments. So it's very rewarding when folks acknowledge the work you put into making good content for the viewer."

CAPE TOWN, South Africa--Each sparkly green television motherboard that rolls off the Hisense Co. factory line here moves China a tiny step toward a new global manufacturing base.
The line's eight South African technicians monitor the assembly process by computer and have incentives to work quickly. In less than a year of operation, they are producing at the same clip of 70 seconds per board as their Chinese counterparts.
But there's a hitch: Hisense factories in China use half as many workers to make the same product. In South Africa, one technician monitors one machine. In China, the company's technicians monitor two machines apiece.
"Step-by-step," says Jerry Liu, general manager for the Middle East and Africa unit of the home-appliance maker. "We'll get there."
Faced with rising labor costs at home and negative perceptions about their employment practices in Africa, Chinese companies are setting up new factories on the continent and hiring more Africans. The companies efforts will test whether the masters of low-cost manufacturing can be as productive in Africa as they are in China.
Many bet they can be.
"China is a resilient investor," says Martyn Davies, chief executive of Frontier Advisory, a consulting firm that does business in China and Africa. "You see it in Ethiopia at the bottom end and in South Africa in the higher-end stuff."
Auto maker China FAW Group Corp. is building a new factory in the South African industrial hub of Port Elizabeth to produce trucks and light commercial vehicles. Huajian Group, a Chinese shoemaker, plans to invest as much as $2 billion in Ethiopia over the next decade to make the country a base for exports to Europe and North America. Chinese factories also produce steel pipe and textiles in Uganda.
Mounting labor costs in China are part of what makes Africa so attractive. The average monthly wage for a low-skilled Ethiopian factory worker, for example, is about 25% of the pay for a comparable Chinese worker, according to the World Bank. As the wage gap widens between unskilled Chinese workers and their counterparts elsewhere in Asia and in Africa, as many as 85 million factory jobs could leave China in the coming years, according to former World Bank chief economist Justin Yifu Lin.
In addition to its pool of low-cost labor, Africa represents an enticing market for Chinese products manufactured on the continent. Africa is now home to six of the world's 10 fastest-growing economies, according to the International Monetary Fund, and many African countries are reducing their dependence on extracting resources, such as oil, metals and gems.
Africa's poor infrastructure and uneven distribution of skills erode its cost advantages, however. The World Bank study estimated that a Chinese worker making shirts, for example, could produce about twice as many per shift as an Ethiopian worker.
The common Chinese response to such productivity gaps has been to send more Chinese workers. China says it dispatched 214,534 workers to Africa last year, about one-fourth of all workers the country sent abroad. That was 18% more than in 2011, according to China's Commerce Ministry, which didn't provide 2012 figures or a breakdown by industry. Analysts suspect the official figures vastly understate the numbers because they don't include entrepreneurs and traders doing business in Africa.
China's expanding African footprint has caused friction, however. A survey from the Ethics Institute of South Africa, a research and training organization based in Pretoria, reported in February that 46% of respondents in Africa had a negative impression of Chinese employment practices, while 19% were positive. Another 55% agreed with the statement that Chinese companies in Africa use only Chinese employees.
Such perceptions are rooted in reality. In Angola and Zimbabwe, Chinese companies bring workers from China for the most basic tasks, such as laying bricks and driving trucks. In Ethiopia, road crews have complained that Chinese supervisors cut their shovels in half so they will use them only for digging, and not for leaning to rest or gossip. In Zambia, Chinese mine bosses have tossed cold water on dozing employees, according to interviews with miners.
Chinese officials, eager to erase China's image as what critics call the continent's "new colonialist," have urged its biggest companies to put their best foot forward in Africa. Chinese Premier Li Keqianq visited several African countries this month and promised to ramp up assistance to various projects. Tian Xuejun, China's ambassador to South Africa, says he holds regular meetings with Chinese executives to encourage local hiring, partly to help spur the continent's industrial development.
"We have some experience in this area, and we're willing to share it," Ambassador Tian says. "We're teaching people how to fish rather than giving them fish."

FBI raids three homes recently, arresting those trading in Xbox One Secrets
We reported before on SuperDAE story and his Xbox One devkit raids, but now the fallout from that has moved from Australia to state-side, with FBI rounding up three hackers, with one of them being from Canada
You might remember the SuperDAE stories from over a year ago, with him listing early Xbox One dev-kits up for sale on eBay, and then later him getting arrested, and threatening to release info which never happen, but now the FBI have rounded up some more 'hackers' that were trading in Xbox One devkits, and passing info among themselves.
One of people arrested in New Jersey is better known on many 'scene' forum sites like XboxHacker as 'SonicISO' and was originally the Admin behind the very popular E3-Forums for E3 Flasher and their ODE device before it was suddenly shutdown earlier this year.
We will keep everyone informed here on MaxConsole UnderGround as more 'court files' are released.A New Jersey man, a Wisconsin teen and a man from Canada are facing more than a dozen charges for allegedly breaking into computer systems and stealing sensitive information belonging to the U.S. Army and other companies, including Microsoft.
Obtained and partially published Thursday by The Smoking Gun, the indictment - still sealed, but filed in U.S. District Court in Delaware - charges Sanadodeh Nesheiwat, 28, from New Jersey; Nathan Leroux, 19, from Wisconsin, and Canadian resident David Pokora.
The men are alleged, beginning in 2011, to have begun a roughly two-year cyber crusade against video game companies, during which time they identified and exploited vulnerabilities in computer systems belonging to Microsoft, Valve Corporation, Activision Blizzard, Zombie Studios, and Epic Games, according to a report.
The Microsoft breach enabled the alleged attackers to steal information on the then unreleased Xbox One, according to published pages of the indictment, which explain that the perpetrators were able to use that data to build counterfeit versions of the console, including one that was sold on eBay for $5,000.
Intrusions into the computer systems of companies such as Epic Games and Activision Blizzard allowed the attackers to steal early copies of "Gears of War 3" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," two blockbuster titles that had yet to be released at the time, according to the report.
Also, Apache helicopter pilot simulation software designed for the U.S. Army was stolen from Zombie Studios, a company commissioned by the American military organization to develop the chopper training program, the report added.
The men are facing 15 felony charges, including multiple counts of wire fraud, three counts of unauthorized computer access, two counts of copyright infringement, and one count each of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit theft of trade secrets, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, attempted mail fraud, conspiracy to commit identity theft, and aggravated identity theft.
The indictment was returned by a grand jury in July and Nesheiwat and Leroux were arrested at their respective homes last week, according to the report, which adds that the status of Pokora was undetermined at the time.

hdmi can i use with macbook air
- Asked by Umer F from Kasugai
Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Initially I plugged in the cable to my New MB Air w/ Lion and the screen went blank and I lost the cursor on the TV. If this happens, unplug the cable, close and reopen the display, and things should be back to normal.
Right before I plugged the cable in, I clicked detect displays under display preferences and it showed up! Not sure if this is what caused it to work, but every little detail helps.
Just go to system preferences, sound, click the tab for Sound Effects-play sound effects through TV, and then click the tab for Output-Select a device for sound output-Click on TV

Hello from Bremerton, WA
While attending our annual family reunion out in Wolf Creek, MT I had mentioned to a number of people that the reunion site could really use a woodfired pizza oven. I'm guessing I made this comment for the 5th year in a row 2009. 2010 rolled around and I asked myself why I keep thinking-about-talking-about building the oven. We have since built the stand during our 2010 reunion and I am hoping to drive out to MT and assemble the floor and dome with my Dad in late August. I am precutting the bricks in my garage and assembling the structure with wooden shims on form. It's a 42 inch tuscan. I've posted a couple photos in the Dome section of the photo part of the forum.
Glad to be here, glad this forum is here, and hope to talk to some interesting people during their build as well. Thanks Forno Bravo for operating such an awesome well balanced and organized site, I kind of feel like you guys are the Google of the pizza oven sites. You realize that you can make plans open source and will still benefit from the people who take on the DIY oven builds.
If you have ever watched Close Encounters of Third Kind's mashed potatoes scene I believe I closely resemble that guy at this point in the process. I am hoping to progress through the build rapidly enough that my wife will not kill me because unless she is talking pizza oven I am not listening very well....:o
Re: Hello from Bremerton, WA
Hi Sean and welcome aboard.
I hope that you will enjoy this forum as I have over the years.
Post heaps of pics once you've decided on all those choices that you have to make and enjoy.

Still good!Kristin - 05/10/2015
by: Adam06/10/2014
Well the product is exactly what I expected, that's not the impressive part. The attention etrailer pays to it's costumers. They have excellent service and customer comunication. Which to me is more important than anything else when doing business these days. Plus they shipped the product right out. I hate when you order something and the people take for ever to ship and ship it cheaply knowing USPS takes forever. Etrailer got it right to me, so thank you for that. I would do business again. 134888
by: Micah11/15/2013
I had a really hard time finding this replacement part for my truck tool box latch! No one who sold the tool boxes sold the part or knew how or where to order it. It was taking two people at the same time, every time we opened the tool box, or either having to climb up in the bed of the truck. I was VERY Happy when this arrived in the mail! I will definitely visit and purchase from this site in the future! Thanks Again! 107449
by: RH12/04/2013
Easy and simple ordering process. Shipped within 24 hours of ordering. The UWS rod connector fits perfectly. Use a small allen wrench to tighten the connector onto the rod. A word of advice: at least for my toolbox, if you only have the connector rod, but no connectors, make sure you order 2 connectors. You need a connector to attach each latch/handle to the connector rod. 109132
by: JD10/07/2013
Exactly what the description said it would be! Well made, Great quality! Outstanding customer service. When I first ordered this, it was out of stock. Suzanne T., the wonderful lady that she is, emailed me when the product was in stock. I ordered it the same day, and shipping was fast as usual. Overall an outstanding job! Thanks again! 102876
by: Greg H.07/11/2014
The Rod Connector on my pickup tool box snapped, causing me to have to lift both handles in order to open the box. These Rod Connectors fit perfect and installed easily, and now my tool box works correct again. No more climbing in the back of the truck to open my tool box! 140809
by: Trina04/07/2014
This product was rather hard to locate at the hardware stores. Luckily I came across eTrailer in my online search. This is exactly the part that was needed for the rod in our tool box on the back of the truck. Just as described, prompt and courteous service. Thank you. 124164
by: Tom E.08/10/2014
This is great. The right part came and now I can open my tool box with one hand, and it only cost $10 including shipping. The estimated delivery was three days after the actual delivery. I was so ecstatic that I know I will order from these folks again. thanks 145573
by: Tom02/28/2013

By: Paula Rabinowitz
A few years ago, on my way to see Pedro Almodóvar's film, Talk to Her, which was playing at the local indie-flick multiplex alongside Frida, I stopped at the public library to return a book. Parked in its lot was a minivan plastered with reproductions of Frida Kaylo's paintings and a banner proclaiming "Vivan Las Artistas Latinas!" I ran across the street to a drug store, bought a disposable camera, and began shooting away, all four sides of the vehicle. Only when I looked at the developing prints did I realize that reaming the license plate was this work's title: Frida Karlo. This traveling "homenaje a Frida" is part of an evolving landscape of playful feminist post-modern kitsch. The "Karlo" works through design to fashion identity; or perhaps it is the other way around: it uses identity as a mechanism of design.
Read this article in its entirety on page 20.

Capri Tour of the island
You haven't really seen Capri until you've seen it from the sea.
No visit to Capri is complete without a tour around the island by sea, skirting the dramatically craggy coastline and taking in the shimmering caves and hidden coves.
Two options for touring the island by boat:
- Organized tour: These group tours last between 1 and 2 hours and cost about €17/person
- Individual tour: Rent a private boat, with or without crew
There are a number of boat tour companies with ticket booths in Marina Grande. Motoscafisti and Laser Capri two companies which offer organized tours; tickets for these group tours can be purchased directly at their offices in Marina Grande. If you prefer an individual tour, we recommend booking in advance. Here is a complete listing of companies offering private boat rental with or without crew.
Organized tours are the perfect solution for visitors who have little time to spare (those on a short day trip, for example), whereas an individual tour with a private boat rental is ideal for travellers who have the time to enjoy the charms of Capri by sea at their leisure.
Sights Included in the Classic Boat Tour
- Marina Grande
- The Statue of the Scugnizzo
- The Grotta del Corallo
- The Grotta Bianca
- The Natural Arch
- Villa Malaparte
- The Faraglioni
- The Bay of Marina Piccola
- The Grotta Verde
- The Lighthouse at Punta Carena
- The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra)
Visiting the Blue Grotto
Most organized boat tours around Capri include a stop at the famous Blue Grotto, or the Grotta Azzurra. Those who are interested in entering the cave must disembark from their tour boat and enter on one of the waiting rowboats, which are small enough to pass through the cave's mouth. Entrance tickets much be purchased separately at €13 a person for a short 5 minute visit.
More Information About Visiting the Blue Grotto
Beyond Capri
If you have opted for an individual tour in a private boat, after your tour around the island of Capri you can opt to sail across the sea to the fishing villages along the Amalfi Coast, perhaps stopping for a refreshing dip near the Li Galli islands, lunch in one of the area's waterfront restaurants, or shopping in the elegant boutiques of Amalfi and Positano.
Our Insider Tip
If you visit Capri during the peak summer months, avoid scheduling your boat tour around the island for the middle of the day. Instead, take advantage of the relative calm by setting off first thing in the morning or in the late afternoon when you will have the seas to yourself. In high season, the waters surrounding Capri are crowded with tour boats, so if you opt to rent a private boat we strongly suggest you enlist the services of an expert crew, as well!
