This sounds interesting….the title itself is thought provoking:
Professional Photographer Webcast Live – Will The Mobile Phone Camera Replace The DSLR?
Here's the link to it:
Today Wednesday, November 13th at 2pm EST
"Will The Mobile Phone Camera Replace The DSLR?"
Um, no, duh. Tiny sensors suck for wide range of lighting and/or creative situations.
Better question would be "Will mirror less cameras replace the DSLR?"
I'm guessing yes. Took a few pics in Adorama the other day with a Fuji X-E1 and a 55-200mm (300mm full frame equivalent) lens. Got sharp pictures handheld at 1/20 of a second at 200mm and it was significantly lighter than a typical full frame dslr body, never mind the giant honking dslr lens.
Though I guess someday they may come out with a sensor the size of the phone, in which case I should probably change my answer to "yes, duh."
Carlo and MW…
Well I seem to be going in the opposite direction. I'm now only using my phone camera and medium format BW film. The GX1 and I haven't really gelled.
Paul; me too… The little V1! :-)
And holga….
It was a good webcast……for me the best part was hearing Steven Alvarez say towards the end "What revolution in imaging is this going to drive"?
He said it after mentioning what happened with 4×5…then 35mm and so on…
A good way to end and more provide more food for thought.
you are going exactly where they are saying consumers are heading….these big cameras are consumer products and consumers are going to smart phones.
I rarely carry my canon but my phone is always with me.
Having said that I am looking for a mirrorless camera….I am tired of my bulky canon…
Ross and Carlo…
I just haven't managed to adapt to the GX1. I've taken many pleasing photos with it, but I just don't enjoy using the damn camera. There have been a couple of instances where out of exasperation I would of very nearly thrown it off the nearest cliff. As I own other cameras I do enjoy working with and I also get pleasing images with them I've decided to give up the GX1.
Even though I'm utterly aware the final image is the destination and only point that matters. I might as well also enjoy the journey with a decent camera.
MW, I am not so certain about the first part. The improvement in the low-light capability of my iPhone 5s over my 4s is immense. It does better in low light than all the DSLR's I had right up to maybe three or four years ago. It is still pretty lacking on dynamic range and it so easy to blow the highlights to the point of no return. As to the size of the sensor limiting its capability, this is true but not as true as it was yesterday. No telling where technology will go and by what multitude of times sensors will improve in the future.
As to the second part, I have been wondering for a long time why the pro camera companies have been insisting on keeping us wed to the mirror. It just doesn't make much sense to me anymore. I used to carry a dslr at all times, most recently the Canon M III with the 24-105 attached, but ever since David persuaded me to jump on the Instagram band wagon, I only carry DSLR's when I have to.
its WEDNESDAY …the most boring daY of the week… but i wrote a song ….yes a song …and i hope that my song will not bore you…plz feel to love it and download it and use it any way u want…
I've never been much of a camera aficionado. I've only owned a few, mostly Canons and Fujis. The only two I didn't like were a Canon Powershot Pro 1 which had horrendous image quality at anything over iso 400 and a Panasonic LX5 which I could never put my finger on exactly why I didn't like it but figured it had something to do with the small sensor. My son has taken some nice shots with the Panasonic, but somehow it just wasn't for me. More often I enjoy learning the strengths and weaknesses of a particular camera and making it jump through some odd shaped hoops.
But as those who comment here probably know, I've been using Fuji X series cameras for awhile now. It came as a surprise to me, but I actually found myself enjoying the camera itself. I noticed that I had become much more deliberate with most of my photography and was shooting in full manual mode more often than not. I don't know Leica from Shinola or a hole in the ground, but I couldn't help notice all the reviews that said the Fuji X's were designed for those who loved the look and feel of the classic Leicas. That was actually a bit of a turn-off for me when I originally researched it. I honestly don't care what a camera looks like and much less for any kind of retro crap. But after using them for several years now, I realize there's something more to it than nostalgia or any kind of snobbery. It's actually very well designed for the practical purpose of making photographs. So I guess I kinda sorta know what you're saying, Paul.
I don't want to offer any advice to anyone, but I'll note for you Bill, that I've now sold or given away all my Canon stuff. I liked it a lot, but ultimately it was just too frickin heavy and when push came to back pain, it just wasn't my brother. Though as much as I like low light shooting, those ridiculously high ISO's that Canon and Nikon are coming out with are somewhat enticing. When I eventually win the lotto, odds are good I'll get me a bunch.

MEAT LOVER SHELTERED MAMA'S MAN (ode to my husband)
You're a man that only loved his mama
You're a man that only hated me
You're a man that never eats bananas
You're a man that always ENVIED me
You're a sheltered man
that wants to go to Bahamas
a man that always wear pajamas
you're the opposite of ME

Anyone going to the Miami Street Photography Festival in December?
we should meet up….
Trying to figure out if I can get there. Really interested in taking Maggie Steber's workshop if I can get away and get down there.
The cat shat in my hat. I do not know why the cat shat on my hat; I suppose that the cat did so because, like George Mallory climbing Mount Everest, the hat was there, or it could be that this particular cat dislikes humans with more than the usual feline animosity and decided to move its bowels in my hat to demonstrate his disdain for me in particular and humanity in general, but whatever reason the cat did it, the fact remains that the cat shat in my hat. The day has been going downhill since then.
After finding a new hat, one that is just a bit too large for me, I should say, but otherwise acceptable, I drove off to work. From my home in the outer rim of our happy little burg's suburbs, if a place as small as our happy little burg can have suburbs, I managed to avoid every old lady, every red light, every garbage truck, and every guy trying to make a left turn, a feat that you may consider nothing short of miraculous but tells me that the Lord is feeling hostile towards me today and so wants me to get to work in time, the better for His heavenly wrath to come down on me in an environment I can't get out of quickly. There are days when you know that you've got a bull's eye tattooed on your back for everyone to see.
And so it came to pass that The Messiah of the Jews, who is not to be confused with the Jewish Messiah, which he says is another job title entirely, comes into the egregious mold pit wherein I labor for my daily bread and tells me that people from the Dominican Republic dress in black to worship Bavomit, the god of excrement, that his reading of the I Ching tells him that he is the Virgin Mary, the very embodiment of the Eternal Feminine, and would I please give him a dollar for a cup of coffee? He is annoyed at his rabbi for not letting him make changes to the local synagogue's Torah scroll; apparently, the section on medical marijuana is not clear enough and he needs to make sure that everyone knows that weed is a good thing. I agreed that his rabbi was being entirely unreasonable about not letting him mark up a Torah scroll with a pencil stub I gave him, but he [the rabbi] would come to see the light very shortly. Pleased with this answer, the Messiah of the Jews stalked out of the building to get a cup of coffee; yes, I gave him the dollar. I know I shouldn't, that it will only encourage him to come back tomorrow for another dollar, but there are some conversations that you just want to end and this was one of them.
I was elated when he left, said emotional state lasting for about two seconds, for as the Messiah of the Jews left, the UFO man came in. The UFO man, as you might imagine, earned his sobriquet because he has let everyone here in our happy little burg know that a UFO abducted him years ago in Peekskill. I am not sure why extraterrestrials would want to abduct him out of the billions of people they could have abducted or what it is about the people of Peekskill that would be so attractive to extraterrestrials; Peekskill looks more or less like every other Hudson River town that I've ever seen; but then I am not sure why terrestrials watch Honey Boo Boo or the Jersey Shore, either; there is no accounting for tastes, after all. He wants to write a book about his abduction, which actually sounds a lot like one of the National Lampoon vacation movies as viewed through a peyote-induced psychedelic haze with a shot of Jim Beam on the side, but he can't find a ghostwriter to take on the project. This may be because, like the Messiah of the Jews, the UFO man is certifiably nuts or it may be because UFO man lives on cigarettes. I don't think he eats anything—he just smokes. Merely being in his presence will turn a nonsmoker into a two pack a day man in less than three minutes, and I am sure that when the UFO man finally goes to his final reward, whether that reward is in the afterlife or on some other planet, someone here in this world will be bidding for the mineral rights to his lungs. There's a lot of carbon in them there lungs, folks, a lot of carbon.
Today, however, he just wanted to know how he could get the Department of Labor's website so he could check his unemployment benefits. This surprised me no end; I had always assumed that some form of employment was a necessary precondition for receiving an unemployment check, but this does not seem to be the case. Unfortunately for him, to find one's benefit history online one must first have a verifiable email address, and fortunately for me, he didn't have time to set one up today. And so he left, taking with him his miasma of stale tobacco and staler extraterrestriality, and I sat behind my desk wondering, not for the first time and probably not for the last, why am I doing this? It does seem pointless. Perhaps I just like futility. Stranger things have happened, you know, and it isn't even lunchtime yet.
Great article here:
(EZ reader translation for people who have forgotten how to read long stuff….
All cameras now good. Technical Mastery not as important as in year's past. Old guys love technical mastery. New guys like making different style images and don't care about image perfection. Aesthetic pendulum swings from perfect to emotive. Some camera makers evolve. Some not. Cameras getting smaller and easier to use. Old styles of shooting fading. New styles emerging. Good time to be a photographer. Change is inevitable. Change is good for young people. Change harder for some old people. Kirk is happy and now goes off swimming. May toss all old gear and just get better phone. short enough?)
For me; the ironic thing about that link is that his own work is the epitome of "Show me what it looks like; NOT what it feels like"…. The complete opposite of what David talks about and what Tuck's article preaches….
Song : "TRIBUTE TO MARK LANEGAN AND HERSELF" (written 1988)

As someone who has put considerable effort into researching what kind of photography gets shown/sold in top magazines, galleries and museums, I find the argument that technical mastery is unimportant to be mostly bunk and likely disingenuous. Especially when anyone suggests that "emotive" and "technically masterful" are mutually exclusive. Or that "image perfection" is some kind of scientific formula calculated based on such things as resolution, pixel counts, sharpness, color accuracy, or what have you.
No, for the great majority, a high level of technical mastery is required to translate one's vision though photography and that is recognized by those who produce, buy, sell, and collect at the higher levels. And although I note that some of the higher level professionals talk like the guy who wrote that article, I also note that they tend to be quite technically masterful themselves. I usually find one can learn more by observing what people do than from accepting at face value what they say.
I don't mean to accuse the writer of that article or anyone else of any kind of outright dishonesty, but in a lot of these cases money is involved and that can certainly sway one's way of thinking in many subtle and unconscious ways. When one is writing and hopefully selling articles or trying to get students for classes and workshops, it's no doubt hard to make a living by telling people they have to study hard and work hard for many years to achieve technical mastery and probably (though not necessarily) purchase relatively expensive equipment. No, too many people want to hear that all one needs is passion and one of the first rules of selling is to tell people what they want to hear.
That's not so bad. There's nothing wrong with enjoying photography without shooting for the high end editorial or art markets. Although there aren't a lot of dollars out there for point and shootists, there are plenty of Likes on the Instagrams and Facebooks to be had and that can be very emotionally rewarding. The great majority, however, would be advised not to use their Instagram feed as a portfolio to get a meeting with a serious publisher or gallery unless some serious technical mastery is evident in those photos.
RE: the Visual Science Lab article…
"It's no longer enough to get something in focus, well exposed and color correct. It's no longer good enough to fix all the "flaws" in Photoshop. What the important audience wants now is the narrative, the story, the "why" and not the "how." The love, not the schematic."
And at that statement, I lost all interest in (or perhaps, respect for) Mr. Tuck's opinion. When has it *ever* been enough to get something in focus, well exposed, and color correct? When has the "important audience" ever *not* wanted the narrative, the story, the love? "Oh, that one has a beautifully exposed and color correct sky, and the focus is perfect. We'll use that" said no NatGeo editor, ever.
After that point in the article, all I heard was a gearhead lamenting the realization that being a gearhead wasn't good enough. And not recognizing (or not wanting to accept) that's not new, that it's never been good enough….
Are cameras getting smaller and less expensive? Sure. Are the masses going to exploit the accessibility of these smaller, less expensive cameras? Sure. Is it going to change the way photographs are produced and consumed? Sure. Can anyone say "Kodak Brownie"?
But does it mean that high quality (from a technical perspective) images aren't important anymore? I sure hope not. But as always, high technical quality has got to have something behind it….call it heart, call it passion, call it feeling…but you know what I mean. And none of that is new.
Happy Friday, all. I'm a bit energized since Friday means I can step back a bit from the bill-paying day job and try and focus more energy on being creative. And this weekend is Lexington Gallery Hop, the UK Art Museum's Robert C May Endowment Photographer Lecture Series (Carl Corey this month), and a few art-related events around town that seem very promising, among them public installations of work from artists Eduardo Kobra from Sao Paulo, Brazil, Gaia from Brooklyn, NY, Phlegm from Sheffield, UK, and Odeith from Lisbon, Portugal. Gonna be fun.
Wishing good light to you all….
As far as I see it, studying technique is an outright must. Once it's harnessed it must be "forgotten". Second nature in automatic mode whilst your eyes, stomach and soul are left to their own devices. If you can't do this you either haven't got a story to tell or haven't practiced or shot enough photos to let go.
Exactly. I got the feeling from that article that the point was that getting the technical stuff right used to be the whole focus (pardon the pun). Good photography is more than good technical execution, and always has been.
I think what is missing here (having read other articles from Mr Kirk) is the fact that DSLR sales are down…dramatically down. I assume the article revolves around that theme and it's a continuation of it.
Of course no one should take anything anyone says at face value.
I think it helps emulating bees…..they gather pollen (whats important for them) from a wide selection of flowers not just one.
My personal take is to try and be like them…gathering what resonates with me and learning and watching what is happening.
As cliche as it sounds "you have to know the rules in order to break them" still holds value and it probably always will….but the rules are changing and trends seem to be going backwards instead of forward like innovation always does. I often read the example of Kodak as a company who chose to ignore the tsunami that the digital evolution brought and how they suffered as a consequence.
There's an argument about companies such as Nikon catering to the "older" crowd who seems to be stuck in their ways and completely ignoring what the "younger" generation seeks and ignoring any cues of the changing times, trends and basic evolution…
When you have smart phones at their size and accessibility able to take good photos in most conditions and you have access to wireless internet with the ability to share them practically instantly you have to ask yourself why can't a DSLR do that as well? plus the fact….here's another cliche…..that the best camera is the one thats on you not the "pro" camera in it's camera bag sitting at home.
I find it also myopic to look into the future based on what we know today. One hundred years ago nano technology was probably not even a dream….that's why I don't find it so hard to believe that cameras will become better and better and smaller….the way of smartphones with better sensors. The NOKIA comes to mind with its 41MP sensor and seeing how it looks in print as a 3 page foldout in NatGeo is nothing short of impressive.
Here's another great article:
As it turns out, laypersons usually have a much better understanding of photography than critics or theorists. Whenever I talk to people who are not part of the world of photography, many of the concerns that appear to give theorists or photographers endless nightmares simply don't appear to exist. Too many photographs? Who says so? Can there be a thing such as too many photographs, and why would that even be a problem?
None of the non-photo-world people I have talked to over the past years has ever even entertained the idea that their photographs on Instagram, say, would be comparable to photographs produced by professionals. People know the difference between apples and oranges very well. Yet in the world of photography, we seem stuck worrying about how since they're both round and fruits, they must be the same, right?
Also quoting DAH about Burn diary in instagram:
For those of you who are thinking of photography in a professional way, this is the time to "prove" you can do it. That is, producing on demand. So my friends here is your stage. Your time to show what you can do. If you can have a week of shooting and make a few really nice pictures, editors will notice. Almost everyone has a few stunning pictures in their portfolio. Want to really make an impression? Show editors what you can do NOW.
I see this as forward thinking…adjusting to the times instead of fighting what is already happening. No doom and gloom….just seeing the opportunities where others see it as another threat…..
Mike, I hear you and I feel exactly the same way about all that weight. Low light capability is critical to me. Just drop into my blog here sometime soon and see what lighting conditions my outside daytime shots are taken under. As to the heaviness and weight factor, there are times when I wonder if there is anything else out there that would be up to the task I sometimes put my Canon DSLR's through. My recent Cross Island shoot, for example. I just don't think any little camera out there would have enabled me to get what I got. Of course, I have since had to replace one almost brand new lens that got completely ruined on the hunt, another is in the repair shop right now and I really need to send a third in for repairs and I still fear it is just a matter of time before both 5d MIII bodies shut down on me. The way around that would have been to have bought the latest ID model rather than the two 5D's and it probably could have stood up to everything… but it is so damn heavy…
Great quote and so true. Never fight the future just adapt and keep on creating.
MW and Frostfrog…
I've still got my Canon 1DS2, great camera and probably the only Canon camera that perhaps could of survived Frostrog's trip.
In my case I just can't use it, my style has changed immensely. If I go out with it on the streets taking strangers portraits it affects the whole relationship. They immediately assume I'm a working pro and want to be paid. This usually doesn't occur with any other camera . So it ends up sitting at home…
"that's why I don't find it so hard to believe that cameras will become better and better and smaller….the way of smartphones with better sensors. The NOKIA comes to mind with its 41MP sensor and seeing how it looks in print as a 3 page foldout in NatGeo is nothing short of impressive"
Aggreed. I haven't touched the D300 in over 6-months; been using the little V1's (for paying and personal work)…. People get too hung up over numbers (Megapixel count, asa rating etc). Just had 5 1/2 pages (15 images) used in my last article including a double page spread. So really it's got to the stage where good enough is good enough.
And that's a camera many have grizzled about as too noisy etc. I've come to the conclusion that most worry too much about the image quality rather than the quality of the image….
"I don't know what good composition is…. Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness."
Diane Arbus
"What moves me about…what's called technique…is that it comes from some mysterious deep place. I mean it can have something to do with the paper and the developer and all that stuff, but it comes mostly from some very deep choices somebody has made that take a long time and keep haunting them."
Diane Arbus
"I think people should just use photography to say things and not just photography for the sake of photography, you know. I see so many photographers, now I do quite a few workshops in these days, the world is full of talented photographers. The problem is just so many of them just don't know what to say, they think life is one thing and photography is another but they don't realise that photography is just a way to reflect what you are."
Antoine d'Agata
Paul, I have the 1Ds2 and I briefly thought about taking it to Cross Island, but I haven't picked it up for a at least a couple of years and I just can't stand the thought of ever using it again. The other night, I went to a basketball scrimmage and took 5D M III. I started out with it but then I just let it hang loose and switched to my iPhone. If it had been critical for me to really produce something, then I would have stuck with 5D, but it wasn't, so I didn't.
Before I bought this new iPhone 5s, I thought briefly about the NOKIA, but the idea of having to deal with 41 mp images in my pocket and hard drives just didn't appeal to me and so I stuck to the iPhone. I have not seen the three page spread in NG, but who knows – maybe I made a mistake. But of course a phone is not just a camera, so other things must be thought of as well.
Whatever, I believe the day of big DSLR's has reached evening. The camera companies that server pros – i.e., Canon, Nikon… had better figure this out and adapt fast and not just leave it all to the phone makers or they will lose out. Market prices for Canon bodies are, what, about $7500 for the latest 1d (x, I believe)?About $3500 for 5D M 3? What kind of pro camera employing the same type of basic technology used by the phone makers, but amped up, could be marketed to pros at similar prices?

Acetate - C2H3O2
In organic chemistry, the abbreviation Ac refers to the acetyl group. The anion and the functional group may be written as −OAc and AcO−, or OAc respectively. Examples include HOAc for acetic acid, NaOAc for sodium acetate, and EtOAc for ethyl acetate. Ac is also the symbol for the chemical element actinium, but confusion between actinium and the acetyl group is rare, since actinium has virtually no role in organic chemistry.
Acetate can also refer to cellulose acetate, especially fibres or other derived products such as the acetate disc used in audio record production. Cellulose acetate can be found in many household products.

NWU Attends Copyright Hearing, Asks for Writers to Be Heard
"I'd like to enter into the record this letter I have from the National Writers Union, UAW Local 1981, noting there are no authors or other artistic creators on today's panel." That's how Congressman Johnson (D-GA) began his questioning at the hearing I attended on May 16 of the House Judiciary Committee subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet. This was the first of many hearings that will eventually produce the first reform of U.S. Copyright law since 1976.
The letter Congressman Johnson was referring to, introduced NWU to the committee as "among the most active contributors to Copyright Office consultations," including "orphan works" and the need for a copyright small claims court. It urged the committee to hold future hearings "at which the full range of creative workers can testify about the ways that copyright law could be improved," especially NWU. A statement from the Copyright Alliance, which includes creators and industry groups, was also entered into the record by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Goodlatte (R-VA). Links to both are below:
http://www.copyrightalliance.org/2013/05/statement_copyright_alliance_executive_director_sandra_aistars_re_todays_judiciary_0 target="_blank"
The day before the hearing, D.C. member Monica Coleman and I attended a reception co-sponsored by the Copyright Alliance (CA), made up of both creators and industry groups, and the Creative Rights Caucus (CRC), which has 40 Congresspeople as members. We met CRC Co-Chair Chu (D-CA) and her staff and a number of CA lobbyists. Everyone welcomed NWU's involvement.
At the hearing, we were joined by Michael Capobianco of Science Fiction Fantasy Writers of America, and the hearing room was packed. The only witnesses called were a five-member panel from the Copyright Principals Project (CPP), an invitation-only group of academics, lawyers and a representative from Microsoft. No creators were either invited to the CPP or to testify at the hearing, but many were there to voice our concerns and to try to ensure that the next hearing has a panel of creators. I was there on behalf of the union to try to ensure that NWU is included.
In the week we had to prepare for the hearing, an ad hoc committee developed that included Edward Hasbrouck (SF), Susan E. Davis (NY), Mike Bradley (SF), Ann Hoffman (DC), Monica, and me. I also met with Bev Brakeman, the UAW Region 9A CAP Director, and Josh Nassar, the UAW Legislative Director in D.C., to begin our first serious lobbying effort in quite some time. We managed to maximize our presence, work on a few different levels, and keep talking through our disagreements. Not as easy as it sounds.
Moving forward, we are putting together a working group that in the short run can produce a preliminary report: "What We Want and Don't Want in New Copyright Law." It will require discussion on many aspects of the new law, especially "orphan works" and a federal small claims court. But it will also review prosecution of copyright infringers, reversion of rights, extended collective licensing (ECL), exceptions for the blind, and more. Something like this can be used to help educate members, recruit more writers, and be circulated to the subcommittee so our friends know NWU's wishlist for the new law.

With Halloween approaching, your mind has probably turned to the variety of costumes you could choose to wear on that ghoulish night. This holiday is not just for scary movies and scantily-clad women wearing animal ears, but can serve as an opportunity to expose secret desires through whatever ensemble you choose to wear trick-or-treating. But why should you limit your game of pretend to only one night a year? Instead, we recommend that you take this game of dress-up into the bedroom and do a little role play with your partner year-round.
When performing role play, preparation and communication is key. It's always important to remember that most games or roles involve a shift in power, specifically with one player holding most of it. We recommend discussing this with your partner beforehand to establish boundaries so that you will feel comfortable throughout the entire scenario. It might be a good idea to come up with a safe word before embarking on your game of pretend, which will allow you to feel safe in the scenario while delving deep into your particular role. Also, make sure that you're trying out a scenario that appeals to you and your partner. If you don't enjoy the concept, you won't feel sexy acting it out.
To get you started, we've brainstormed quite a few ideas for you and your partner to play with. And, if you haven't gotten that costume yet, we recommend something that can translate into the bedroom and turn your Halloween night into extended foreplay.
The Teacher and the Pupil
This is one of the classics. With one partner as the student while the other is the strict teacher, this scenario can play out in a multitude of ways. If the student is the aggressor, he or she can try to seduce the teacher to get out of detention. If the teacher is in charge, he or she can either "teach" the student the ways of the bedroom or "punish" the student for being so very naughty in class with a good spanking. Whichever variation you choose, we recommend plaid uniforms and school supplies be included in this sexy charade.
The Naughty Nurse
This role playing idea probably seems cliché as well, but remember this – cliches work. With one partner as a nurse or doctor and the other as the patient, the key is that you get to do a lot of touching. It can begin innocently and professionally, and then subtly become more and more intimate.
The Yoga Instructor
Sound stupid? We promise you it's not. This is another game where there will be lots of touching involved. With one of you as the patient yoga or fitness instructor giving a "hands on" tutorial to the inexperienced pupil, the touching won't necessarily be sexual at first. However, it will be sensual, and if you keep to your roles, then things will get very steamy quickly. This is the kind of subtle, realistic role playing idea that can light things on fire.
The Eager Employee
Workplace scenarios can be exciting, since an office is often painted as a sexless environment. This idea can be played out in several different fashions. You or your partner could be unemployed and desperate, willing to do anything to get a job in this terrible economy, or striving to earn a well-deserved promotion, offering to do whatever it takes be chosen. You can even use the classic boss and secretary roles, with the assistant serving the manager however he or she may need.
The Prisoner and the Guard
Locked up in your cell and punished, you're completely under the control of your partner, who's keeping a close eye on you. Clearly, the guard's attracted to you.This game can go in several directions: the prisoner can seduce the guard to obtain some advantages or the prisoner can let themselves be seduced through fear of reprisal. This game can also be taken out of the jail by changing the roles to cop and criminal. Don't forget your handcuffs!
The Sexy Superhero
With the world obsessed with superheroes, it's time to bring the trend into the bedroom. You could experiment with the hero and the villain, such as Batman and Catwoman, or be showing your appreciation for being rescued from the bad guy as Superman and Lois Lane. We recommend going to the nines with your costumes and masks. When you look totally different than usual, you'll feel different, and being able to escape the norm is what makes role play so freaking naughty.
Strangers in a Bar
This scene will take you back to the exciting days of dating. You and your partner pretend to meet for the first time while out, and attempt to seduce each other as though it were the first time, with the "grand finale" playing out in a hastily-reserved hotel room or perhaps somewhere public, like in the restroom of the bar. You can even up the ante by creating false identities!
Got any other ideas? Leave them in the comments below!

Making a Gift
When you join The TSTC Foundation as a donor, your contribution is an investment in the future, not only for TSTC but for all of us. Our future lies in the hands of younger generations, and TSTC faculty and staff go "above and beyond" to prepare students for that responsibility.
The TSTC System serves the State of Texas through excellence in instruction, public service, faculty, research, and economic development. TSTC's economic development efforts to improve the competitiveness of business and industry include exemplary centers of excellence in technical programming clusters/incubators and the support of educational research commercialization initiatives.
The Foundation staff look forward to making your gift giving experience as effortless and rewarding as possible.
Cash and Pledges
Cash donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by federal law and provide a margin of excellence over and beyond state appropriations. Cash donations are a top priority in the TSTC System, as they provide money for student scholarships, faculty and staff development, and capital improvements. If you work for a corporation, please check with your Human Resources Office to see if your company/corporation is a matching gift company in which your gift may be matched, doubled, and sometimes tripled. Also, gifts may be pledged for payment over a period of years. For the accuracy of your records and TSTC's records, pledges should be in writing.
A gift in honor/memory of a loved one, friend, or acquaintance is a considerate and generous way of recognizing someone dear to you. When you make an honorary or memorial gift, please accompany the gift with a note specifying the honoree's name. We will oversee your donation seeing that it is administered as you wish and, if appropriate, we will send a note acknowledging the gift to an appropriate living family member.
Honorary and Memorial Gifts
A gift in memory or in honor of a loved one, friend, or acquaintance is a considerate and generous way of recognizing someone dear to you. When you make such a gift, please accompany the gift with a note specifying the honoree's name. We will see that your donation is administered according to your wishes.
Donations of equipment allow TSTC to remain competitive as we strive to provide Texas and the United States with a competent and qualified workforce. Through lab training on industry standard equipment, our graduates are prepared for the challenges that lie ahead after they complete their degree. Donations of equipment are accepted directly by TSTC, rather than through The Foundation.
Real Estate
You may donate real estate as an immediate gift or an intended gift. An immediate gift provides you with a charitable deduction. Please have your real estate gift appraised by an appraiser to determine the value of your deduction. The Foundation must evaluate any and all potential gifts of real estate for their marketability and will investigate any potential environmental concerns. Before accepting a gift of real estate, The Foundation asks that you supply detailed information regarding your property.
Retained Life Estate
You can transfer ownership of your personal residence and/or any additional land to The Foundation. This is an exceptional way of supporting The Foundation, plus, you can receive tax deductions, yet still retain your property. (Note: Some laws apply to this type of gift. Seek legal council first.)
You may transfer long-term securities (stocks or bonds) to The TSTC Foundation. In many cases, donations of securities can have significant tax advantages for the donor. Ask your tax advisor for details.
Donations through Your Will
Bequests to The Foundation may be deducted from your taxable estate. Seek legal advice to predetermine the most beneficial way of offering your bequest.
Life Insurance
A donation of one's life insurance policy is both superbly generous and quite beneficial for both parties involved. Here are some examples of some life insurance gifts and their benefits:

Pittsburgh Man Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison for Conspiring to Distribute Marijuana
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A resident of Pittsburgh, Pa., has been sentenced in federal court to 37 months imprisonment on his conviction for violating federal narcotics laws, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Senior United States District Judge Maurice B. Cohill imposed the sentence on Griffin Abel, 34.
According to information presented to the court, from the fall of 2009 to Nov. 23, 2010, Abel conspired to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana. Abel arranged for at least five 100-pound shipments of marijuana to be transported in duffel bags from California and Nevada to Pittsburgh, where the drugs were delivered to Abel for distribution. Abel was arrested in Pittsburgh on Nov. 23, 2010, after a 125-pound shipment of marijuana destined for him in Pittsburgh was intercepted by police in Kansas. Seized at the same time were scales, cash, and a money-counting machine.
Assistant United States Attorney Gregory J. Nescott prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney Hickton commended the Drug Enforcement Administration for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Abel.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

How can I tell whether my baby has a fever?
Kiss or touch your baby's forehead. If you think he feels hotter than normal, you're probably right.
A fever is usually a sign that the body is waging a war against infection. Taking your baby's temperature can confirm your suspicions and help you and your child's doctor figure out the best way to get your baby back on the road to health.
Most doctors – and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) — agree that a normal body temperature for a healthy baby is between 97 and 100.3 degrees Fahrenheit. If your baby's rectal temperature is 100.4 degrees or higher, he has a fever.
How can I tell if my baby's fever is serious?
A temperature reading isn't the only indication of whether a fever is serious.
Age is a factor: Fever is more serious in babies under 3 months.
Behavior is another factor: A high fever that doesn't stop your baby from playing and feeding normally may not be cause for alarm.
Keep in mind that everyone's temperature rises in the late afternoon and early evening and falls between midnight and early morning. This natural cycle of our internal thermostat explains why doctors get most of their phone calls about fever in the late afternoon and early evening.
When should I call the doctor?
You're the best judge of whether your baby is really ill – so do call if you're worried, no matter what his temperature is. Common guidelines for calling the doctor when fever is involved include the following. (For more specific advice about when to call, ask your baby's doctor.)
General guidelines
If your baby is under 3 months old and has a temperature of 100.4 degrees F (38 degrees C) or higher, call the doctor immediately. A baby this young needs to be checked for serious infection or disease.
If your baby is 3 months old or older, the most important thing is how he looks and acts.
If he appears well and is taking fluids, there's no need to call the doctor unless the fever persists for more than 24 hours or is very high. Ask your doctor for additional guidance: For example, the doctor may suggest calling right away if your baby's fever reaches 104 degrees, regardless of symptoms.
Additional guidelines
The AAP suggests calling the doctor if a baby is between 3 months and 6 months old and has a fever of 101 degrees F (38.3 degrees C) or higher, or is older than 6 months and has a temperature of 103 degrees F (39.4 degrees C) or higher – and has symptoms such as a loss of appetite, cough, signs of an earache, unusual fussiness or sleepiness, or vomiting or diarrhea.
Also call the doctor if:
- Your baby is noticeably pale or flushed, or has fewer wet diapers.
- You notice an unexplained rash, which could indicate a more serious problem when coupled with a fever. Small, purple-red spots that don't turn white or paler when you press on them, or large purple blotches, can signal a very serious bacterial infection.
- Your baby has difficulty breathing (working harder to breathe or breathing faster than usual) even after you clear his nose with a bulb syringe. This could indicate pneumonia or bronchiolitis.
- Your baby seems sick and his temperature is lower than normal (less than 97 degrees F/36 degrees C). Very young babies sometimes become cold rather than hot when they're ill.

Religion Sparks Dress Code Discussion At Arts School
Posted: September 11, 2013 at 3:49 a.m.
A student's request for a religious exception to dress code stalled in a discussion between religion and expression at the Benton County School of the Arts board meeting Tuesday night.
At A Glance
School Handbook
Behavior standards from the Benton County School of the Arts handbook state that dress can be a matter of personal taste, but it is administrators' responsibility to create a healthy learning environment. Dress and grooming isn't allowed to be "immodest, disruptive, unsanitary, unsafe, could case property damage, or are offensive to common standards of decency."
Dress guidelines:
• Hair must be neat and the style not distracting
• Hair must be a natural human hair color
• Shorts, allowed only at the elementary/middle school, must reach 3 inches above the knee
• No pajamas
• Street shoes are required
• Visible body piercings, except ears, are forbidden
• Hats and headgear are forbidden unless there is a religious or medical exception
• No sunglasses are allowed inside the building
• No dangerous accessories, such as spikes or chains, are allowed
• Lewd and suggestive slogans or clothing advertising alcohol, tobacco and drugs are forbidden
• Clothing associated with gangs is forbidden.

It seems almost unbelievable that an 'arts' school would be concerned with a child's self-expression in the color of hair!
I am glad my daughter and son-in-law pulled their daughter out of that 'arts' school and she is now doing extremely well back in a Rogers' public school.
From my observation it appears that the problems in the BCSA are systemic and considerable. BCSA does not seem very conducive to the kind of freedom of thought and expression necessary for the world of the arts to be experienced by children.

Freedom of religious expression. That is what the US was founded on! Way to go Abigail!

This girl made a mistake by not pointing out the school does not enforce the other school dress codes. Shorts and dresses are higher than 3 inches above the knee and ear piercings are definitely not the only visible piercings in those schools.
The school just can't decide to ignore parts of the code and enforce others arbitrarily.
Contrary to popular belief, you do give up freedom of speech in schools. The argument that this is freedom of religion is nonsense. She's got them because they are not applying the standard evenly.

The schools might want to realize the only reason the hair is a big deal is they make it a big deal. A kid shows up with bright orange hair. Day One the students say wow. Day two no one cares.

Great getaway
We began our vacation with a few days at Cedar Run. We'd been to Idyllwild before, but really loved this house. The pictures don't do it justice. The deck was great to read, lay out in the sun and play games. We enjoyed the fireplace and cozy furniture. We were in much need of rest, and our stay here was a wonderful set-up for that. Would definitely love to come back again.

07/01 - UPDATE - Ride Report begins a few posts down
Well, its 8 days til the wife and I load up and head out for 9 days of riding thru Colorado, New Mexio & Utah.
Route is pretty much planned out just gotta load the GPS.
We will be meeting up with one or possibly two of my brothers in CO who will be joining us for the ride.
Launch date is June 27.
Expecting to arrive in CO the evening of the 28th.
Since we want to get to the good stuff asap, we will be trailering via superslab (not very ADV I know, but it will get us to the gate much quicker).

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - AUGUST 27: Santonio Holmes of the New York Jets in action against the Washington Redskins during their preseason game on August 27, 2010 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
Santonio Holmes hasn't played for the Jets since injuring his foot in Week 4, but that doesn't mean he can't gloat after the team's wins. Holmes specifically took a jab at current Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer on Twitter after the Jets' 27-13 win over St. Louis on Sunday. Good job today #NYJETS for beating up on Shotty n the #RAMS — Santonio Holmes (@santonio10) November 18, 2012 Holmes and Schottenheimer clashed during Brian's stint as the Jets' offensive coordinator. Holmes criticized Schottenheimer's playcalling, while Schottenheimer is the coach who benched Holmes during the Jets' Week 17 loss to the Dolphins last season. There's no doubt Holmes loved getting revenge. Schottenheimer was also pretty fired up for the game as well; the New York Daily News reports that he pumped his fist and looked across the field after the Rams scored a touchdown on their opening drive. He must feel pretty silly for that now.

After a class on out-of-body experiences, a psychology graduate student at the University of Ottawa came forward to researchers to say that she could have these voluntarily, usually before sleep. "She appeared surprised that not everyone could experience this," wrote the scientists in a study describing the case, published in February in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.

A thread for refreshing our memories about outlandish claims, great announcements we never heard about again, vaporware, etc ...
I'll start with one,
what happened to Euclideon, a company that claimed to be able to render unlimited detail on current hardware and they were not voxel or point clouds. See their video:
Nowadays they seem to focus on the medical market with the same kind of videos and still have no game out. At least they acknowledge that what they are doing is rendering point-cloud data, but they still have some amazing claims in their new videos about being able to process and compress the data.

Juice Pulp Crackers (raw, vegan, GF)
2 cups juice pulp (carrot, celery, kale, apple, tomato, zucchini,etc)
1 cup of a ground or whole seed (chia, flax, sunflower or sesame seeds)
1/4 c Braggs liquid aminos
1/2 cup water or more
Optional spices: 2 tsps ground coriander and 2 tsp curry, nutritional yeast, pepper, red pepper.
1) Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the S blade. Combine well. This may take five minutes of processing.
2) Run till mixture is right consistency, thick but spreadable. Add 1/4 of a cup of water at a time depending on how much liquid was in the pulp already.
3) Spread on a Teflex lined dehydrator sheet, score into cracker shapes and dehydrate at 115 for about 6 hours. You may want to flip the sheet over and then dehydrate till very dry.
4) OVEN DIRECTIONS: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the "dough" onto it evenly, about 1/2 inch or so. Bake at 350 degrees until crispy. You may want to flip them after about 40 minutes.

The Department of Classics has a track record of excellence in delivering world-class teaching and research. In our 2013-14 National Student Survery (NSS) results 95% of students said they were satisfied with teaching on the course, and we were ranked 7th in the UK by The Guardian University Guide 2015.
Our research has been given top ratings in the 1992, 1996 and 2001 Research Assessment Exercises (RAE), and the 2008 RAE rated 65% of our research activity is world-leading or internationally excellent.
We are a Department of Ancient History and of Classical Art and Archaeology, as well as of Greek and Latin language, literature and thought, with a tradition stretching back nearly 180 years. We are one of the largest and best in the country, with 250 undergraduate students and 20 full-time academic staff. We are located on the historic Strand in the heart of London.
Classical subjects have been taught at King's since the College opened its doors to students in the autumn of 1831. The College's first Professor of Classical Literature, Joseph Anstice is commemorated in a handsome marble inscription now located over the door of the Dean's Office, but originally placed in the College Chapel. Since Professor Anstice's day, the scope of classical teaching at King's has expanded to embrace Greek, Roman and Near Eastern history, and Greek and Roman archaeology and art, as well as Greek and Latin language and literature.
We have a thriving graduate community of around 50 MA and PhD students, and send our undergraduates on to careers in everything from law to broadcasting, via heritage management, publishing, teaching and accountancy, as well as to further study. Six different nationalities are represented among our staff, and our student body too is increasingly international at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
