Originally published in Interiors & Sources
For designers who are struggling to convey the true value of design to their clients, help is close at hand.
By Rita Carson Guest, FASID
Stereotypes-whether positive or hurtful-are hard to overcome. They act as blinders, preventing others from seeing the whole ... even when it is right in front of them.
Although our profession has existed for more than half a century, many of our clients still cling to the stereotype of interior design as the aesthetic enhancement of rooms. Despite our best efforts to educate them, they are not likely to think of us as allies who can help them meet their business goals or attract, protect and motivate their customers and employees. They often are surprised when we ask them questions about technical requirements and their expectations of how people will behave in the space. Because their stereotype limits their ability to imagine the full scope of the services we are capable of providing, they fail to appreciate the true value we have to offer.
A good example of this mindset became evident on a project I recently completed. The clients had merged and were developing a new brand for their new company, including their offices. Coming from their own different brands, they did not know where to start. They each preferred and better understood traditional design, but they wanted something new and fresh. When I met with them to discuss the project, they suggested we start by looking at pictures in magazines to get some ideas about "the look." I suggested instead that they tell me how they wanted people to feel when they entered the space and what the space should say to them about the new business. With a better understanding of their goals and expectations, my design team was able to envision what such a space would look like in three dimensions and created a unique environment for their new brand. The clients are thrilled with the space and plan to throw multiple open house events to show it off.
Of course, our work on the project went well beyond creating a unique branded environment. We made sure that the offices would be safe and function effectively for the employees and the clients. We built in flexibility in anticipation of future growth or other organizational changes. We looked for ways to make the day-to-day operations more cost-effective. We considered issues like privacy, collegiality and communication. We considered their present and future technology needs. In short, we provided a lot of added value beyond their initial request for a new look. It is this side of our business that often gets overlooked when projects are written up for newspapers or magazines and thus remains "hidden" from potential clients.
If we want clients to understand, appreciate and pay for the real value of our design services, we need to show them the whole picture, not just the piece that makes its way into the media. Recognizing this need, ASID has developed several video case studies to help educate clients about the many ways that interior designers contribute and add value to commercial environments. One case study takes the viewer through the different phases of a project-showing how the interior designer adds value at each step of the design process. Another explains the ways that designers help protect the health, safety and welfare of occupants, using an award-winning high school project as a benchmark. A third study features testimony from clients about the unexpected value they received from designers who went well beyond their expectations by thinking strategically about how design could contribute to the clients' business needs. Each video is approximately five to six minutes long and provides a variety of perspectives about the value of the design.
The case studies can be viewed on the ASID Web site. You may find them valuable marketing tools to help you break through the blinders that clients bring to your presentations. Use them to open their eyes to the many facets of professional design-so that they have a fuller appreciation of the services you can offer them and the outcomes you can achieve. Allow them to experience your value, and they will come to value your experience.

I'm basically looking for something that can play/stream a variety of formats if possible (or if not, to have an easy way for non-technies to convert them to the desired format). I'm also looking for something easy to setup - like including a javascript tag at the top of the page and then perhaps using a div, or just 1 line of script code to make it work. If it's flash, then have to be simple to setup too.
Any suggestions? I've never done this sort of thing before. I'm sure it's easy, but I have no idea what are the standard/defacto products so any help would be great.

does this code initialize all the elements of the array in all major C and C++ compilers or not?
int arr[100] = {0};
In all compilers. This is guaranteed by the C Standard and the C++ Standard.
For example, for C here is the relevant paragraph:
If the array happens to be an array of structs, you'll quickly run into problems. Heck, you can't even do a single struct.
This simple example shows that two major compilers (gcc and msvc) do not follow the specifications as quoted in ouah's answer (gcc seemingly, from its warning, and msvc from its error msg).
Consider this source, foo.c / foo.cpp:
Compile, with both gcc and g++:
The same warnings are given for arrays. This gcc is only two years old:
But MSVS 2012 has the equal and opposite problem with this example (including arrays).

Man found dead in parked vehicle identified
KINGSVILLE - A man was found dead about 2:30 a.m. Thursday in a sport utility vehicle parked alongside U.S. Highway 77 between Ricardo and Kingsville, police said.
Royce Lee Chaney, 46, of Corpus Christi, was found bloody from at least three stab wounds to the torso and neck, said Chief Deputy Guillermo "Willie" Vera of Kleberg County Sheriff's Department. "There was a slash in the driver's side seat belt surrounded by blood, which led investigators to suspect he was wearing the seat belt when stabbed," Vera said.
Chaney, originally of Temple, has been living in the Laguna Shores area of Flour Bluff for about a year. He's been employed doing constuction jobs, police said.
A deputy had stopped near County Road 2140 to check the Suburban, thinking a motorist needed assistance, according to a press release. Sgt. J.J. Cantu found the Chaney laying on a middle seat that was folded down.
The body had been moved, police said.
Investigator David Farias suspects the assault took place elsewhere and the vehicle and body were brought to the location, in a grassy ditch of the southbound lane, off the shoulder of the roadway.
No identification was found on Chaney, but information from the vehicle registration and a cell phone found in Chaney's jacket led police to a Corpus Christi man who helped identify Chaney.
Judge Andy Gonzalez, Kleberg County Justice of the Peace Precinct 1 pronounced Chaney dead at 3:37 a.m. and ordered an autopsy.
The body was taken to the Nueces County medical examiner. Determination of death is pending further studies, according the medical examiner's office, yet police are treating the death as a homicide, Vera said.
Corpus Christi police investigators teamed with Farias Friday to interview several people, but the location of the assault has not been found, and no arrest has been made, said Capt. Robert Bridge, executive officer of Corpus Chrisi Police Departments Criminal Investigation Division.
"Anytime a body is found in a violent death we treat it as a homicide until it's determined otherwise from other information," Bridge said. Chaney's identification was confirmed Friday by investigators through records, a photograph and tattoos.
"We have identified some individuals who may be able to provide additional information about this incident," Bridge said, "We're attempting to locate them, but we don't know yet if they are suspects."

Clothing's optional after 8pm.' And I was like, 'Whoa. No, no, no! Not doing that. Here. With any of you!'

With the good in DC Universe Online, of course, comes the bad. Certain powers seem to be having issues, a PvP-flag bug allowing players to drop their PvP flags on PvP servers cropped up (as of this writing, this is reportedly fixed), and chat appears to once again be a cornucopia of frustrating issues. However, rather than dwell on the things that are starting to crop up (and because we're not going to have a solid picture of just what's shaken out of this patch just yet), I thought instead I'd offer an overview of the new spring-themed event for those who are curious as to just what's going on and why this one might well be the best holiday event yet.
The initial spring holiday quest can be found tucked away at the bottom of your journal on both heroes and villains. In the hero version, Oracle is apparently suffering hay fever from all the pollen that Poison Ivy is spreading around Gotham and suggests that you speak with Swamp Thing, as he is working to stop Ivy's crazed plant-based mayhem.
Upon reporting to him in the Watchtower (Swamp Thing is in the Aquacultural area, between the Meta and Tech areas), you are sent to Gotham to hunt Columns of Pollen, during which quest you will rescue 12 civillians who have been mutated by Ivy's pollen and take down 18 of Ivy's evil plant minions. There is some variety to the fights, which is a nice touch.
Some of the plant pods will spit out seeds that turn into bug-like plants that skitter away from you and can't be attacked, at least assuming you can't destroy all the seeds in time. (Don't worry -- they appear to disintegrate after they get a certain distance away.) Other plants will spawn nasty mandragore, who seem to be low on hitpoints but can still mess you up if you're not paying attention. There are also men in hazmat suits running around releasing mutated civillians from pods, but they need you to help them out by removing the twisted plant nastiness from the people. While you don't get credit for taking out the plant pod on these, you do get credit toward the quest Daily Dose of Heroism (complete five heroic acts), which is a nice bonus. Releasing civilians from the other spring event pods does not count toward the daily quest completion -- only the hazmat-released ones.
As for villains, Calculator, in his typical lovably snarky fashion, warns you that Ivy -- recently escaped from Arkham and a little unstable -- is looking for people to assist her in "mulching weeds" or "taking over the world" or something. Like heroes, villains also start this quest by activating the holiday event inside their quest logs and heading to the Pit in the Hall of Doom, where Ivy and her friend the Misiving Tree await you.
Once you've managed to finish off your portion of the day's bad guys or good guys, it's back to either the Watchtower or Hall of Doom, where Swamp Thing or Poison Ivy rewards you for a job well done. The quest reward on both sides is $25 and six of the holiday event currency, Seed Pods. As with previous holiday events, there is a new holiday-themed set of gear called Warrior of Spring, which shares some spiky funkiness with the Demonic and Plant sets but is different enough to make it worth chasing if you like funky additions to your costume choices.
Along with this, there are four different holiday tokens available, all of which offer a handful of stat bonuses. All four of the trinkets have a cost of $1260 as well as 40 Seed Pods. Here's how they break down:
- Nightshade Seed Pod: 33 Health, 12 Power, 15 Precision, 25 Might. On use, item will apply 150 weapon attack critical hit chance to your attacks for 20+ seconds and 150 critical hit to your attacks for 20+ seconds. This works for all level 30 characters, regardless of role.
- Elderberry Seed Pod: 35 Health, 22 power, 3 precision, 6 might, and 30 restoration. On use, the item will apply 200 heal crit chance on yourself for 20+ seconds and a 200 power boost for yourself. This particular trinket is only equippable by level 30 characters in a Healer role.
- Purple Nightshade Seed Pod: 20 defense, 65 health, 10 precision, and 10 might. On use, the item will provide a bonus of 15% to base health on the player and 75 Supercharge on self, which could definitely be handy. This trinket can only be equipped by players who are in the Tank role.
- Mandrake Seed Pod: 38 health, 12 precision, 10 might, 11 vitalization, 8 dominance. On use, the item will grant you 100 power heal received on yourself for 10+ seconds and 200 health to self. This item is only able to be equipped by level 30 players in the Controller role.
Finally, there is the usual holiday collection at work, but as I haven't managed to find all the pieces for it as yet, I'm not entirely certain what it will unlock. With the new content out, a large number of people are touring around the cities, so collection items are a bit scarce at the moment. This is a trade-off I'll gladly take, if only because it means the potential for groups to run the content is also higher now that Update 3 is live and everyone's zooming around.
In my opinion, this is the most thematically believable event of the holiday content we've seen introduced to date. For Valentine's, we saw Booster Gold fall in love with someone other than himself, and Mxy, while fun, wasn't nearly as good a choice since there's that whole needing to "banish" him thing, which we really didn't get to do. (At least, I never heard of anyone experiencing that by doing the repeatable quests. If I'm wrong here, please do leave a comment.) Swamp Thing showing up because he wants to stop Ivy from abusing nature makes a certain amount of sense, and Ivy... well, she's nuts, so her world-domination planting plans aren't a stretch.
As mentioned before, the fights are more varied and interesting than those in previous events, even if it does get repetitive (as all daily holiday events tend to). A lot of the seed pods seem to be more densely clumped in certain sectors of Gotham, which increases the odds of actually running into another player. (I actually saw a couple dozen heroes and a handful of villains on Zero Hour in the morning Eastern time on Friday!) Also, I simply think the costume pieces for this set look cooler than the Valentine's Shakespearean commedia dell'arte and the St. Patrick's Michael Flatley-Vegas-jester mashup.
The question now is whether there will be enough time to scoop up all those costume bits and trinkets before Update 4 rolls out to send us scurrying toward the Fortress of Solitude. Personally, I'm not taking any chances, so if you'll pardon me, I've got some alts to go get Seed Pods on!

US Special Forces, Marines train African armies
KATI, Mali A U.S. Special Forces instructor leans toward a steering wheel, showing some 50 Malian soldiers gathered around an army pickup how a passenger should take control of a car if the driver is killed in an ambush.
The elite Malian troops look on, perplexed. "But what can we do if we don't know how to drive?" asks Sgt. Amadou, echoing many of his colleagues' concern.
There are a few laughs, but the Malians are not joking; most of their unit does not know how. The lack of ability to perform such a basic task illustrates part of the huge knowledge gap the U.S. military is seeking to bridge in Africa as it trains local armies to better face the region's mounting threats.
The exercises Monday in Kita, a shooting range in the savanna near Mali's capital, Bamako, are but one leg of an ambitious program led by the Pentagon's Africa Command, or AFRICOM, to provide top-tier training in six African countries during three weeks this month. Over 200 "Green Berets" from the Special Operations Forces and from the U.S. Marines Special Forces have deployed in Mali, Mauritania and other countries that line the Sahara Desert's southern rims.
The yearly exercise, known as "Flintlock," is being beefed-up to face traffickers and al-Qaida-linked terrorists mounting increasingly brazen operations in this vast region of porous borders and lawless tribes.
Western intelligence officers estimate some 400 heavily armed Islamist militants have made northern Mali their rear-base. A kidnapped French tourist is being held somewhere in the desert, and half-a-dozen were held hostage last year.
More worrying still for authorities, the militants, known as al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, are now believed to be cooperating with traffickers who increasingly use the desert routes to carry large quantities of South American cocaine to Europe. This brings more weapons and more cash to the region, increasing the militants' potency.
Small forces from several European countries and some 500 African troops are taking part in this year's exercise, including countries that don't directly touch the desert, like Senegal.
"The point is, we've got to start getting ready for al-Qaida if they come our way," said Maj. Cheikhna Dieng, who headed 30 Senegalese soldiers taking part in Monday's exercises. "They recruit from Islamists, and that's a threat we're taking seriously," because over 90 percent of Senegal's population is Muslim, he said.
Armies in the impoverished countries that militants and traffickers cross are usually no match for the outlaws' heavily armed columns, and vast swathes of eastern Mauritania, northern Mali and Niger, and southern Algeria are now considered no-go zones.
But Mali's army plans to reclaim its part of the area in the coming months, said Capt. Ongoiba Alou, the commander of the embryonic Malian Special Forces. "The whole purpose of the exercise is for our troops to be able to fight the terrorists," he said.
That most of his unit training Monday can't drive is a sign of Mali's lack of funds, Alou says.

Tbilisi to Istanbul , October 2013
Mary Benner
The itinerary in Turkey needs to be re-thought. Some of the decision making, particularly in Turkey, seemed to be made more for the benefit of the tour leaders than the group. Some issues as well regarding communication and the management of expectations. For example, it was suggested that we could get to Goreme with only one night camping. The group made it clear that was our preference, as long as the drivers weren't too tired. The tour leaders then decided to camp at an unacceptably cold location, even though they claimed not to be tired, and had we kept going we could have arrived at Goreme by midnight, and had more time there. The tour leaders were a couple, and therefore seemed to make less effort to involve themselves with activities with the group. While the tour leader was well organised, some of her decisions seemed to be incorrectly influenced by the co-driver.

Gold is Where You Find It is a 1938 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring George Brent, Olivia de Havilland, and Claude Rains. Based on a story by Clements Ripley, with a screenplay by Warren Duff and Robert Buckner, the film is about the rivalry between farmers and miners in the Sacramento valley during the years following the California Gold Rush. The feud between two families is complicated when a man from one family and a woman from the other fall in love. This Technicolor feature film was released on February 12, 1938 by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Gold is Where You Find It was, in many respects, a routine Western, lifted out of the ordinary by its early use of the newly perfected 3-strip Technicolor process, its big-budget director and cast, and its musical score. During the early spring of 1937, producer Hal B. Wallis was looking for a project to film in Technicolor, as a dry run for The Adventures of Robin Hood, which was not ready for release. So he chose this screenplay, making it probably the first Western shot in the new process, and second movie to be shot in new Technicolor.[2]
This film is valuable as it shows the process of placer or hydraulic mining. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placer_mining
The large "nozzles" were known as monitors.

i definately am not giving my son a bunch of vaccines. but i was wondering if theres side affects to the vitamin k shot they get when theyre born?
vaccines for baby yes or no
"Anyone who licks my butt cheek is going to get smacked with a bag of oranges."
Well the effects of not getting it is increased chance of bleeding. Anywhere
But if you dont even know the side effects of vaccines, Id suggest you research it before you just say your not going to give your baby a bunch of vaccinations
Oh no... annnnnnnnnnnnd here we go.
my doc gave me the option of doing the vit k drops. going to go with those
hahaha ^^^ i like that comment the person who said ohhhhh nooooo . if u dont have anything nice to say than dont say it at all. i have researched all about vaccines but the vitamin k shot has to be a little different cuz its just vitamin k right? not a bunch of mercury and stuff that can cause all these other diseases
I'll be the first one to bite... so you don't want to give a bunch of vaccinations but you're worried about the side effects of vitamin k? How about the side effects of whooping cough... measles... polio. Just curious?

Litany - Poem by Billy Collins
You are the bread and the knife,
The crystal goblet and the wine...
-Jacques Crickillon
You are the bread and the knife,
the crystal goblet and the wine.
You are the dew on the morning grass
and the burning wheel of the sun.
You are the white apron of the baker,
and the marsh birds suddenly in flight.
However, you are not the wind in the orchard,
the plums on the counter,
or the house of cards.
And you are certainly not the pine-scented air.
There is just no way that you are the pine-scented air.
It is possible that you are the fish under the bridge,
maybe even the pigeon on the general's head,
but you are not even close
to being the field of cornflowers at dusk.
And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither the boots in the corner
nor the boat asleep in its boathouse.
It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the sound of rain on the roof.
I also happen to be the shooting star,
the evening paper blowing down an alley
and the basket of chestnuts on the kitchen table.
I am also the moon in the trees
and the blind woman's tea cup.
But don't worry, I'm not the bread and the knife.
You are still the bread and the knife.
You will always be the bread and the knife,
not to mention the crystal goblet and--somehow--the wine.

I get the impression that the poet is saying that each of us isn't everything but we play our roles in the whole picture..good poem a ten from me a share on Facebook and I can see why he was Poet Laureate.. (Report) Reply
Student A (4/30/2013 2:39:00 AM)
Actually, the poem is a comparison how the characteristics and personalities of Collins and Crickillon, not really a love story. Maybe the two were friends in the past (and in the present) but I know this is not a love story. I see the poem this way, I don't know if you will too, but the poem starts by comparing Crickillon to many non-living objects, in other words, metaphorically. Then it does the same thing to Collins, eventually comparing them two by stating how Collins is not the bread and the knife and that Crickillon will always be the bread and the knife, not to mention the crystal goblet and - somehow- the wine.

I really loved this poem when my creative writing teacher had us read it. I fell in love with Billy Collins' writing. But this one, yes is about his wife, and yes is a love poem, and yes is completely satirical about symbolization of love.
I absolutely love them. (Report) Reply
Gina Sanchez (5/22/2010 1:25:00 AM)
Ah, Shannon, come on! A little love surely? ! I agree with you though. It is more comical to me than anything. He is totally making fun metaphors by writing a 'litany' of them. He has a good time with them as he pokes a little fun at (I presume) his wife. It is more about his observations of the relationship than love. He loves her, yes, but that isn't the point. The pine scented air line is hilarious example of the funny style. He portrays himself as such a romantic! Gotta love it. (Report) Reply

This poem isn't about love at all - he's making fun of the overuse of objects as symbols. It's basically showing how symbolism isn't symbolic when over done, not how he loves someone. (Report) Reply

Let's have this, this and more this on Sunday. Image via PhilaPhans.comPlaying the Pittsburgh Steelers is never an easy task, but especially not when facing the team when they are 1-2, coming off a bye week and playing at Heinz Field. The Eagles will face a Steelers team with a sense of urgency in turning around its season.The Eagles head to western Pennsylvania with their confidence high after pulling out a win against the Giants with the highest margin of victory yet this season–a whopping two points in their 19-17 victory. For the first time this year, the Eagles offense had a solid showing in Week 4, leaving the numerous mistakes and turnovers that had plagued it in previous games behind. The offensive line was able to keep Mike Vick largely upright and the quarterback's decision-making was much better than we'd seen in earlier games. Philadelphia's offense needs to push that improvement even further if they are to win against the Steelers in Week 5.Pittsburgh is the third-rank...

Palm and Hibiscus Islands are two man-made islands separated by a short bridge which connects to I-395 going into Miami Beach. The islands are located between South Beach, Downtown Miami and Venetian Islands to the North. In the early days, the two man-made islands hosted the famous Latin Quarter which showcased big name celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Jack Benny and Tony Bennett. The Latin Quarter was known for its three shows a night, complete with beautiful chorus girls.

|"How to make your house a home filled with comfort, ambience, informality, personality, and a welcoming spirit-- while living beautifully with all the things you love"--P. [4] of cover.
From the Publisher:
For all those who choose to live "imperfectly" with the messy things they love, this book shows how to do so creatively, happily, and with considerable style ideas from leading designers. A beautiful and inspiring volume, A Perfectly Kept House Is the Sign of a Misspent Life focuses on living well with everything that makes a house a home. If you have been influenced by the picturesquely cluttered studios of Pablo Picasso or Alexander Calder, or by the art- and book-filled house of Vanessa Bell, this unique style book will stimulate you with its creative ideas.This volume explores how real-life tastemakers (photographers, textile designers, fashion designers, writers, artists) integrate their life and interiors to live well with their passions, histories, conveniences, and inconveniences. In inspiring essays, Mary Randolph Carter muses on such key housekeeping concerns as clutter versus mess; open windows; and unmade beds. Combining practical tips with liberating philosophy—"Don't scrub the soul out of your home"; "Make room for what you love"—this volume celebrates living beautifully and happily, not messily. Lavishly illustrated with intimate photographs of different living spaces, Carter exalts in the beauty of imperfection and in living perfectly in our "imperfect" homes. Life isn't perfect—why should your house be?

Parliamentary authorities bought nearly 50,000 bottles of House of Commons sauvignon, more than 26,000 of House merlot and more than 33,000 pints of guest ale over the two-year period. In addition more than 8,500 bottles of champagne were purchased, alongside over 2,100 bottles of Speaker John Bercow's whisky.
It means spending in Commons bars has increased in recent years from just over £222,000 in April 2011 to more than £249,000 in the year to April 2013. This may reflect rising prices.
The figures were revealed in a Freedom of Information request by the Times, which parliamentary authorities published online.
The figures may lead to questions over Parliament's supposed drinking culture, which was laid bare in the trial of Tory MP Nigel Evans, who was cleared of sex offences. The Commons booze culture also hit the headlines when Eric Joyce was forced to resign the Labour whip in 2012 after fighting Tory MPs in a Commons bar.
Most of the alcohol is likely to have been drunk by the 650 MPs, 760 peers, and thousands of staff and parliamentary workers.
A Commons spokeswoman said an increase in commercial events would have accounted for a rise in demand for alcohol. "It is not possible to disaggregate sales or consumption by user," she said.

DETROIT (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and league officials looked at Ndamukong Suh's latest infamous act on the field from several angles, trying to understand why the Detroit Lions defensive tackle kicked Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin area.
Goodell says Suh's intent very difficult to judge
"Intent is something that is very difficult for us to ever try to make a judgment on," Goodell told reporters before speaking at a Lions charity event Tuesday night.
Goodell said he hasn't spoken to Suh about what he did in last Thursday's game, adding that the league's football operations staff is in the process of speaking to him about it. Suh was on his chest after being taken down by an offensive lineman and extended his left foot to hit Schaub below the belt, dropping the QB to his knees doubled over in pain in the first quarter of Houston's 34-31 overtime win.
"They're still going through the process of whether it should be a fine," Goodell said. "They'll probably make that decision in the next couple days."
In a few weeks, Goodell said the NFL's competition committee will meet and might suggest changing a rule for the playoffs that hurt Detroit's chances of beating the Texans last week.
"We may evaluate it as it relates to the postseason," Goodell told reporters.
Officials didn't blow their whistle when two Lions tackled Justin Forsett, allowing him to get up and run for an 81-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Detroit coach Jim Schwartz negated an automatic review by challenging the play.
"It's unfortunate because the officials on the field made an obvious error and it could've been reversed," Goodell told hundreds of fans at Ford Field during a question-and-answer session. "That's what we want to correct."
Goodell was at the 19th annual Detroit Lions Courage House dinner that team officials say has raised $1.8 million for HAVEN, a suburban Detroit facility that tries to prevent and treat victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.

My Philosophy
When it comes to my photography, I am a purist. I thrive on natural, subtle light illuminating life caught between layered shadows. I do not believe in manipulating a scene to produce a manufactured outcome or emotion. In street situations I am drawn to photographing candid moments that capture the essence of the person or scene without being obtrusive or staged. In every genre I strive to connect to the raw elements of the image itself without bogging it down with filters or Photoshop after the fact. In macro work I seek out the world hidden within the everyday that often gets overlooked by the naked eye. With a macro lens, something as miniscule as a butterfly's facial features or the single wispy seed of a delicate dandelion become art in and of itself, front and center, especially when enlarged to poster proportions, which I revel in at 20X30 to get the full effect. At 20X30 or larger, the viewer gets the feeling of suddenly becoming a part of the framed scene they are witnessing, and in gazing at the image you find yourself emerged in that setting, be it a cobblestone street, a poppy-covered field on a sun-kissed day or
within an ancient, mysterious passageway…
I am inspired first and foremost by Ava…

For a bunch of conservatives, you guys get a big ole chuckle outta playing the "victim." I thought only minorities did that, right big guys?
I agree with Chip as well. I've gotten pitched for crossing the line, and I recognized I had and accepted the ban. I didn't whine like a freakin' baby about it. You guys kill me.
Stop talkin politics?
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Personally I hope we keep the political threads.
There are several people (Rojo/Pedro/Redsfaithful/westofyou) who's views conflict with my own and I enjoy the back and forth that resides in those threads.
It's the personal attacks and the flame wars that disappoint me. But those always happen in politics, it's personal for some.
There are plenty of people on this board I consider friendly to me that I don't agree with 1% of politically. And I'm fine with that, I hope they are as well.
I guess I don't see it spilling over into other things on the board, but that could be because I'm not looking for it.
Is the board, outside of the political threads, really that fractured because of it.
I think the baseball board gets 4 to 5 times the traffic. If we are worried about people being upset over things said on Redszone.com, I would worry most about that side.
And thank you for so eloquently proving my point, FCB.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer

The answer definitely isn't to abolish political threads, anymore than it is to censure the innumerable SABR/Traditionalist discussions which are run into the ground, or which inevitably turn personal. I couldn't agree more with Redsfaithful's comments on the matter. Chip is right that we would all we well served to try to remove the personal invective from our exchanges on such topics. We really should practice that type of civility towards other's views, as we enjoy each other's perspectives on so many other subjects, that it is a shame to have that subverted by getting personal over political positions. The forum is probably just a reflection of the national poltical discourse and rhetoric in that regard though. It's unfortunate, but I don't think banishing all political discussion in the interest of limiting trolling and personal insults is a very wise trade-off.
Personally, I really enjoy those who post disparate views about political issues (Redsfaithful, Rojo, pedro), and simply ignore those whose intent is to bait-and-namecall. It's not too difficult to discern between the two.
I could have saved that response, as pedro and jmcclain's remarks reflect my own views, perfectly.
Bingo. This alone should be enough to maintain a non-baseball section of the site that covers any topics worth talking about. This diversity we have here is incredibly rare on the Internet, a mechanism that builds tribal communities brilliantly- but tribes are so often homogeneous.It's unfortunate that we can't play nice b/c the beauty of being able to discuss politics here at redszone is that that are many people here with different viewpoints. That can drive some great discussions. The problem with actual political chatboards is that they are not drawing diverse opinions and there is no balance. It's just everyone piling on one side or the other.
I don't even bother reading most of the political threads on this board. I've only posted in non-baseball threads a handful of times. Move the "sensitive" topics to a subscriber area so people have to make something of a commitment to the community before they get to play Romans in the forum- but don't take them away.
Having a diverse place to express oneself does a lot for a lot of members of this community; the separation by distance means that we don't witness or memorably experience the changes that we've wrought in each other through this kind of interaction. But they've happened (as hinted by several posters), whether we always realize it or not.
One of the main reasons political discourse in this country has become so polarized is because we've all surrounded ourselves with people that agree with us- people of the same age, ethnicity, social class, and perspective. I'm no different.
I urge the moderators to maintain some (maybe more regulated) sort of political area as a strike against this brand of stratification.
That would be nice but, as I stated before, we have tried and tried and tried to get folks to play nice. But it's as futile as a politician's campaign promise. Some simply can't help themselves. They will be nice for a couple of weeks after they have been warned and then gradually slip back into their old habits.Originally Posted by Stormy

So you discipline the offenders. One too many offenses, see ya. Just like society (is supposed to) work/s.Originally Posted by Chip R
Is it the complaining you get from the offended that's rankling you?
To be honest, Im all in favor of banning political threads. It seems like every day I come in here, someone has posted a thread for the sole purpose of whining, or saying "I told you so" or "This is why you should hate Bush", even worse is when someone totally defiles a thread like the infamous tsunami thread, and uses it as something to boost their political agenda.
If you want to whine and cry and try to change someones mind, write your congressman, because you arent going to change my mind.
You could always not read the threads, but I guess that would deprive us all of your elequent emoticon usage.Originally Posted by CbusRed
And surely that would be a tragedy.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Or you can call the ACLU, Im sure they would be as upset as you are about my emoticon "abuse". :MandJ:
The world is a big place, learn to deal with other POV's and you won't get so angry when they don't say what you want to hear.
If we disciplined everyone who got nasty with each other, it would be an awful lonely board.Originally Posted by Doc. Scott
No, it's not the complaining that is getting us riled. I already said it isn't the complaining or the time spent having to discipline others. If that was the case, I'd have quit being a mod a long time ago. Go back a page or two and read my posts if you want to know the reason.

Tactical Ripstop Pant - Dickies
Dickies Tactical Ripstop pant, engineered to work as hard as the officers who...
A good duty light should be easily carried on a duty belt, provide adequate illumination up to 50 yards away, and be long enough that it protrudes from both sides of a fist so the light can act as a last-ditch impact weapon. The light should also be able to be used in conjunction with a sidearm in the Harries or Rogers technique. Xenon bulbs put out a tight beam and mega amounts of lumens; but they eat batteries and the lamp assemblies are expensive when you need a new bulb. LEDs, on the other hand, are rapidly approaching the light output of xenon at 50 yards or so. These models became available in 2009.
