Paul Newman, the legendary movie star and irreverent cultural icon who created a model philanthropy fueled by profits from a salad dressing that became nearly as famous as he was, has died. He was 83.
Newman died Friday at his home near Westport, Conn., after a long battle with cancer, publicist Jeff Sanderson said.
Stunningly handsome, Newman maintained his superstar status while protecting himself from its corrupting influences through nearly 100 Broadway, television and movie roles. As an actor and director, he evolved into Hollywood's elder statesman, admired as much offscreen for his quiet generosity, unconventional business sense, race car daring, political activism and enduring marriage to actress Joanne Woodward.
Annoyed by the public's fascination with his resemblance to a Roman statue, particularly his Windex-blue eyes, Newman often chose offbeat character roles. In the 1950s and '60s, he helped define the American anti-hero and became identified with the charming misfits, cads and con men in film classics such as "The Hustler," "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and " Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."
Newman's poker-game look in "The Sting" -- cunning, watchful, removed, amused, confident, alert -- summed up his power as a person and actor, said Stewart Stern, a screenwriter and longtime friend.
"You never see the whole deck, there's always some card somewhere he may or may not play," Stern said. "Maybe he doesn't even have it."
Newman claimed his success came less from natural talent than from hard work, luck and the tenacity of a terrier.
"Acting," he once said, "is really nothing but exploring certain facets of your own personality trying to become someone else." In early films, he said he tried to make himself fit the character but later aimed "to make the character come to me."
The actor was most proud, friends say, of his later, Oscar-nominated roles in "Absence of Malice," "The Verdict" and "Nobody's Fool," in which he dug deep into the complex emotions of ordinary men struggling for dignity, justice or a sense of connection. In 2003, he was nominated for an Oscar for his last feature film appearance, as a conflicted mob boss in "Road to Perdition." Two years later, at 80, he won an Emmy for playing a meddlesome father in "Empire Falls."
"He's a majestic figure in the world of acting," said director Arthur Penn, who worked with him in his early career. "He did everything and did it well."
Part of a generation of edgy, naturalistic New York actors who changed Hollywood in the '50s and '60s, Newman was often compared with fellow Method actors Marlon Brando and James Dean. Film critic David Ansen once observed that if the trim actor lacked the others' physical or psychic presence, he was more approachable, even when he played a heel.
"Newman," Ansen wrote, "is our great middleweight movie star."
Nominated eight times for Academy Awards in the best-actor category, Newman won only once, for "The Color of Money" (1986), in which he reprised the role of "Fast" Eddie Felson that he originated in 1961's "The Hustler." He also took home honorary Oscars in 1985 for career achievement and in 1993 for his humanitarian efforts. In later years, however, he boycotted awards shows despite continuing Oscar, Emmy and Tony nominations. He claimed he no longer owned a tuxedo.
In real life, Newman was "the quintessence of class, courtly without being old-fashioned," said Victor Navasky, former editor of the Nation, a liberal magazine in which Newman invested and wrote occasional columns. Private and complex, Newman was also a beer-loving, mischievous prankster and an idealist who took to the streets to protest the war in Vietnam.
He was thrilled, friends said, when he heard that he had made President Nixon's enemies list.
Married since 1958 to Woodward, his second wife, Newman cultivated a distinctly un-Hollywood lifestyle, shuttling between a homey New York apartment and a renovated farmhouse in woodsy Westport, Conn., from which he pursued passions including cooking and auto racing.
Highly competitive, Newman was drawn to the track, he told reporters, because in racing, unlike acting, the definition of "good" is not a murky matter of opinion. Although he began to race at 47, he was ranked among the sport's top 25% of drivers, his team placing second in the prestigious Le Mans endurance contest in 1979. At 70, he became the oldest driver to place in a professionally sanctioned auto race when his team took third in the 24-hour race at Daytona, Fla.
Still racing into his 80s, Newman escaped uninjured from a car fire in 2005 and entered another race a month later.
Since the 1980s, Newman had devoted more time to Newman's Own, a food products company he founded as a lark that grew into one of the nation's largest charitable organizations. The company, which produces all-natural salad dressing, popcorn, sauces and lemonade, has turned over more than $250 million in after-tax profits to hundreds of groups, including his own Hole in the Wall Gang camps (named after the outlaw gang in "Butch Cassidy").

ISP - Internet service provider
Short for Internet Service Provider, it refers to a company that provides Internet services, including personal and business access to the Internet. For a monthly fee, the service provider usually provides a software package, username, password and access phone number. Equipped with a modem, you can then log on to the Internet and browse the World Wide Web and USENET, and send and receive e-mail. For broadband access you typically receive the broadband modem hardware or pay a monthly fee for this equipment that is added to your ISP account billing.
In addition to serving individuals, ISPs also serve large companies, providing a direct connection from the company's networks to the Internet. ISPs themselves are connected to one another through Network Access Points (NAPs). ISPs may also be called IAPs (Internet Access Providers).

- 2010 NFL Combine - Offensive
- 2010 NFL Combine - Defensive
- 2010 NFL Combine - Defensive
1. Rolando McClain, Alabama 6-3, 254
Post-Combine Skinny: Disappointing because of a tweaked hamstring. It
would've been nice if he had been able to run, and the 24 reps weren't
all that impressive, but he's still everyone's top inside linebacker
prospect even though he's tall and rangy.
Pre-Combine Rank: 1 Positives: Ultimate leader. A quarterback on the defensive side and knows what everyone is supposed to do. … Just a great football player. The type of guy every coach wants somewhere in the mix. … Fantastic tackler. Always in the right position and always holds up well against the run.
Negatives: Overhyped. A great player, but wasn't as good as all the college attention. … Benefitted from having a big line in front of him. Didn't always have a lot of trash to work through…. Not elite in pass coverage. Good range, not great range.
2. Brandon Spikes, Florida 6-3, 249
Post-Combine Skinny: Disappointing. He was stiff, didn't lift, and turned
some people off by not running the 40. He wasn't quick through the cone
drill and the 29" vertical wasn't that big a deal. He needs to rock on
the much ballyhooed Florida Pro Day to secure himself in the first
round. He's quickly sliding.
Pre-Combine Rank: 2 Positives: Extremely strong leader of a tremendous defense. A playmaker who was always around the big plays. … A better athlete on the field than he'll likely test. Plays fast. … Stood out on a defense full of standouts. Always was the star in a group of NFL talents.
Negatives: Not polished for all the experience. Not great technique in pass coverage. … A hot head. The good intensity is sometimes overshadowed by moments of mistakes because of his attitude. … Not fluid. A wee bit stiff at times.
3. Daryl Washington, TCU 6-2, 230
Post-Combine Skinny: While he wasn't bulky and might end up projecting
into more of an outside linebacker, his workout was strong on the
eyeball test. The 17 reps on the bench were a tad light and the 4.66 40
wasn't blazing, but he moved well, was quick, and he was fluid through
all the drills.
Pre-Combine Rank: 3Positives: Terrific athlete. Unlimited range and is great at getting into the backfield. … Feisty. Gets through blocks by hustling and being more active than anyone else. … Doesn't miss a stop both in space and in pursuit. A killer.
Negatives: Small. A beefed up safety-sized player who doesn't have any room to grow. … Will be erased by a big blocker. Just isn't big enough to shed NFL linemen. … Late bloomer. Didn't rock until his final year.
4. Micah Johnson, Kentucky 6-1, 258
Post-Combine Skinny: The workout wasn't good. The 31 reps on the bench
were excellent, but he was bulky and looked like it when he tried to
move. the 4.99 40 was lumbering and slow, he wasn't smooth through the
quickness drills, and he looked like nothing more than a run stuffer who
has to play in a box.
Pre-Combine Rank: 4 Positives: A tough leader. Always making plays, always working, always producing. … Strong against the run with great size and strength. Holds up well against bigger blockers. … Terrific motor. Never takes a play off and never gives up. Has enough hustle to play on the outside if needed.
Negatives: Not an elite athlete. Has decent range, but not a flier. … Tries hard in pass coverage, but is limited. … Will need to have good athletes and lots of speed around him. You want a Micah Johnson in your linebacking corps, but an NFL team can't have three of them.
5. Jamar Chaney, Mississippi State 6-1, 242
Post-Combine Skinny: Very big and with the bulk to fit anyone's system,
he stepped up with a 4.54 in the 40, the fasted among the true inside
linebacker prospects, and he exploded with a 39" vertical and sipped
around in the drills. It was a terrific workout to show off the raw
skills, but it wasn't enough to overshadow the negatives on the tape.
Pre-Combine Rank: 8 Positives: Great size. Has the bulk and the body to be more than fine inside against bigger NFL blockers. … Always working. Doesn't take a play off and hustles to get to everything. … Surprising range and quickness for a player of his size. Can play in a 3-4 or a 4-3.
Negatives: Good in all phases but not great in any one particular area. … Not quite as good as he should've been against the run on a regular basis considering his sze. … Just okay against the pass. Isn't going to erase any receivers.
6. Sean Lee, Penn State 6-2, 236
Post-Combine Skinny: While he didn't look big and didn't quite look the
part, he lifted well with 24 reps and he moved like his banged up knee
was never a problem. The 4.72 40 was way too slow for an outside
linebacker, but he moved around well enough to be in the hunt for an
early second round pick.
Pre-Combine Rank: 5Positives: Tremendously productive with the right attitude and mentality. A pure football player. … Sniffs out plays. Always is in the right place at the right time. … Always around the ball and always producing. A good stat-sheet filler.
Negatives: His knee. He is a year off the pace after tearing up his ACL just before the 2008 season. Was great when he returned, but wasn't quite the same. … Smallish and not an elite athlete. Not a huge hitter and not as physical as he might be to be an intimidating force.
7. Pat Angerer, Iowa 6-0, 235
Post-Combine Skinny: It was a good workout for a short, squatty defender
who lifted well with 26 reps and was quick through the short drills. He
did enough to be considered a good inside prospect, and the 4.69 40 was
a big help.
Pre-Combine Rank: 6 Positives: Big-time producer. Didn't get nearly enough credit for a sensational 2009 when he might have been the best linebacker in America. … Great range and disruptive. Screws things up for offenses. … Ultra-tough. Good hitter and doesn't back down from anything.
Negatives: Too small. Will get caught up in the trash at the next level. … A try-hard type who might be a pure inside defender. Not necessarily an NFL outside prospect. … Fine against the pass, but not great.
8. Darryl Sharpton, Miami 5-11, 236
Post-Combine Skinny: A bit short and very compact, he lifted well for an
inside defender with 24 reps and the 4.73 40 wasn't bad. It wasn't a
great workout, but he had good feet and looked the part, However, he
didn't stand out.
Pre-Combine Rank: 7 Positives: Excellent tackler. Good at getting into the backfield with the quickness to make something happen when the opportunity is there. … Great inside. Works extremely well in a limited space. … Big hitter. Packs an intimidating punch.
Negatives: Smallish. Not bulky for an NFL inside defender and will have issues against the run. … Not a sideline-to-sideline playmaker. Decent range, not great. … Got by on raw talent way too often and had to make up for mistakes a bit too much. Not going to be able to get away with that at the next level.
9. Joe Pawelek, Baylor
Not Invited To The Combine
10. Reggie Carter, UCLA
Not Invited To The Combine
11. Ryan Stamper, Florida
Not Invited To The Combine
12. Kion Wilson, South Florida 6-0, 239
Post-Combine Skinny: A good athlete, he was flying around the drills and
looked like a natural. However, he was a bit small and wasn't fast with
a 4.85 40. It wasn't a bad enough workout to hurt his stock, but he
didn't boost himself in any way.
Pre-Combine Rank: 21 Positives: An excellent playmaker on an athletic defense. Stood out all the time. … Mega-hitter. Hits with a bad attitude. … Tough as nails. A heart-and-soul type of linebacker who never disappoints with effort.
Negatives: Smallish. Not a lot of room to get bigger and has a hard-ceiling on what he can be physically. … Not great at shredding blocks. Not slippery. … Not a pass rusher and has to be used in a 3-4. Not a MLB and not an OLB.
13. Mike McLaughlin, Boston College 6-0, 242
Post-Combine Skinny: Strong and slow. He lifted 225 pounds 29 times and
he didn't have a problem doing it. He was agile through the short drills
and broad jumped 9'6", but the 4.82 40 cemented himself as just an
inside prospect.
Pre-Combine Rank: 12 Positives: A good, sound player who picked up the leadership slack with star Mark Herzlich out for the year. … Tough against the run. Holds up well and does a good job of sniffing out plays. … Good size and excellent in short areas. Eats up everything that comes his way.
Negatives: Recently suffered an Achilles heel injury. Played the season, but durability question marks. … Not an athlete. Little NFL caliber range. Inside LB only. … Not a pass defender. Might only be a two-down player.
14. Phillip Dillard, Nebraska 6-0, 245
Post-Combine Skinny: He was fine, but nothing special. Known for being
physical, he wasn't able to show it much by not lifting. He didn't stand
out on the move, but the 4.64 was one of the fastest times among the
inside backers. It was an even workout and didn't help or hurt himself.
Pre-Combine Rank: 13 Positives: A great hitter who blows up ball-carriers. Tough as nails. … Good burst into the backfield. … Always moving. A try-hard player with a great motor.
Negatives: Was greatly benefitted by having a tremendous line in front of him. Didn't have a lot of wash in the way. … Not always in the right position. Questionable instincts. … A bit too aggressive. Misses plays by guessing too much.
15. Boris Lee, Troy 6-0, 238
Post-Combine Skinny: He didn't do anything to stand out from the crowd
and looked like just another guy. The 4.82 40 wasn't miserable, but it
wasn't a plus for his size. While he was fluid working around the short
drills, he didn't do enough to overcome the tweener tag.
Pre-Combine Rank: 14 Positives: Ultra-productive leader for a long time at a high level. Was the main man on the Sun Belt's best team. … Great quickness to the ball. Active and great at finding his way to the ball. … Attack, attack, attack. Great motor and doesn't make mistakes by being overaggressive.
Negatives: Not huge. Had to work to get up to his current weight and is still too light. … Isn't a sideline-to-sideline player at an NFL level. … Sort of a tweener linebacker. Not an outside linebacker and not big enough to be a regular inside.
16. Reed Williams, West Virginia
Not Invited To The Combine
17. Josh Hull, Penn State 6-3, 237
Post-Combine Skinny: Slow. No one thought he'd be a great athlete, but he
surprised even though he went a defensive tackle-slow 4.91. However, he
was far quicker than fast with speedy shuttle and short drills. He moved
surprisingly well and the 25 reps were good.
Pre-Combine Rank: 16Positives: Blossomed into a terrific playmaker with great hustle and excellent work. … Looks the part. Good size, makes it look effortless. … Doesn't miss a stop. Eats up everything that comes his way.
Negatives: A mediocre athlete. The former walk-on wasn't a big recruit for a reason. … Not a pass defender. Only worthwhile against the run at the next level. … A form tackler, but not all that physical. Not an intimidator.
18. Jacob Cutera, LSU
Not Invited To The Combine
19. Travis Goethel, Arizona State 6-2, 240
Post-Combine Skinny: While he didn't lift all that well with just 21
reps, he ran extremely well for his size with a 4.7 40 and showed good
balance and loose hips through the cone and short drills. To be a bigger
factor and prospect, he has to get stronger as evidenced by the bench.
His inability to stop the run will be a problem.
Pre-Combine Rank: 22Positives: Good size. Has the height and the the look to get a big bigger. … Makes every tackle. He brings down everything he gets to. … A decent athlete with just enough skill to move to the outside if needed. Can be tried out almost anywhere.
Negatives: Get get held up. Doesn't shed well enough. … Not much of a pass rusher at an NFL level. No elite quickness. … Will be more of a run defender. Not going to get much work in pass coverage.
20. Vincent Rey, Duke (OLB)

21. Ryan Reynolds, Oklahoma
Not Invited To The Combine
22. Ryan D'Imperio, Rutgers
Not Invited To The Combine
23. Lee Campbell, Minnesota 6-2, 247
Post-Combine Skinny: Awful, and while he's a football player, he's going
to have a problem getting drafted. The 17 reps on the bench were a
disaster and the 4.89 40 was way too slow for a player of his size. He
just didn't look like he belonged with the better athletes.
Pre-Combine Rank: 23Positives: Ultra-productive without a whole bunch of help around him. Didn't get enough national attention. … Great against the run. Eats up ball carriers. … Always in the right spot. Doesn't miss any assignments and doesn't get out of position.
Negatives: Mediocre athleticism. No real range. … Doesn't look the part. Doesn't move all that well. … A try-hard type who has a hard,
unmovable ceiling he might have already hit.
24. Prince Hall, Central Washington
Not Invited To The Combine
25. Bear Woods, Troy
Not Invited To The Combine
NR. Donald Butler, Washington 6-1, 245
Post-Combine Skinny: The 35 reps on the bench got him noticed by
everyone; no other inside linebacker came close to the mark. He didn't
do anything else of note, he didn't run the 40, and he was a bit small,
but he was strong enough to warrant a second look.
Pre-Combine Rank: Not Ranked Positives: Good athlete. Could be moved to the outside without much of a transition. … Good in pass coverage. Sniffs out plays well. … Made himself into a player. Good motor and great in practices.
Negatives: Nice athleticism but not all that speedy. More quick than fast. … Mediocre tackler. Not all that physical. … Not polished. A lot of holes in his game with the biggest problem coming in traffic.
NR. Nathan Trippet, Minnesota 6-3, 250
Post-Combine Skinny: A tall, rangy player, he showed some explosiveness
with a 9'7" broad jump, but that was about it. He didn't lift well (20
reps) and the 4.74 40 was nothing to write home about. It was a good
enough workout to potentially get him drafted, but it wasn't anything to
make anyone go out of their way to take him.
Pre-Combine Rank: Not Ranked Positives: Tough. Put him in a phone booth and he'll come out the winner. … Nice size and build. Looks the part of an inside linebacker off the field. … Works his tail off. Always hustling and never takes a play off.
Negatives: Not an athlete. Forget about putting him outside. … Everything has to come to him. Won't be able to get after the ball. … Limited. Looks the part off the field, not smooth on it.

Senior Associate Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day – interviewed at Rothstein Kass (New York, NY) in November 2013.
The first step was to be contacted by an experienced recruiter at a local Consulting Firm. The next step required the completion of an application. Afterwards, an in-person interview was conducted with two different partners separately and then with a senior manager. The interviews required good listening skills and the ability to ask good questions. It also required being able to explain why one would be a good fit for the company.

This past weekend Lollapalooza exploded into the Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheater with hot ticket bands and headliners of Lollapalooza, Jane's Addiction, newly formed Audioslave, Queens of the Stone Age, Incubus, the Donnas and many others. Perry Farell, front man of Jane's Addiction, originally created the tour in the early 90's, as an alternative music show, showcasing alternative music acts and alternative lifestyles. As the years went on, Jane's Addiction began to fall apart, and the tour began to suffer from copycat tours, and it quit, until now.

poncho, article of clothing of ancient origin, a cloak made of a square or rectangle of cloth with a hole in the middle through which the wearer's head protrudes. The original poncho, consisting of a rough, brightly coloured, handloomed cloth, was worn in early cultures of Latin America. Ponchos are worn with the edges hanging either parallel or diagonally, forming a diamond shape. The style also was adapted as rain gear, made of a waterproof material, and often hooded.

Handsworth Self Portrait (ebook)
Portrait of a multi-cultural community in 1979, England
by Bishton, Homer & Reardon, bishton
The authors set up a self portrait studio on the street in the multicultural area of Birmingham called Handsworth, and invited local people to take their own portrait - to put themselves in the frame. Five sessions in the summer of 1979 produced this remarkable set of portraits, all taken on a 35mm camera.

Not only do I now earn an additional 5% from tutoring fees and have a green 20+ hours medallion next to my name on my profile, I have gained the satisfaction of knowing that I have helped students improve their grades and prepare for standardized tests. I passed the twenty hours of tutoring milestone by tutoring three students. I am still tutoring one of these students, a ninth grader, in Geometry, helping him increase his Geometry grade as well as prepare for the New York State Regents. I tutored an eighth grader in Math, English and Chess, up until the time he was to take his state Math and English Language Arts Test.

Mine is the straight version, I mounted it in a "Plaubel Peco Junior" recessed lensboard, which will fit my Makiflex Standard (no iris control) but -not- my Makiflex Auto's. It will focus to infinity with the recessed board, but the camera will not fire, the rear cell of the Xenotar keeps the mirror from flipping up. But it is GREAT for medium length to close-up use. Sure is easy to focus at F2.8. Lens speed was a requirement of the Makiflex designers, I'm certain. I may remount this lens in the future, into a different board (maybe just -slightly- recessed). I will have to do some more thinking about that
Igor (from Igor's Cameras) up in Cleveland had a Makiflex Automatic, but I think he sold all his Makiflex stuff. He told me he had a copy of the 150mm F2.8 Xenotar in Auto-Iris Mount, but the cells were badly scratched, and not usuable. He was looking for Xenotar cells at the time, to swap out
These -are- interesting- cameras. I'm enjoying my three cameras. The 2x3 Graphmatic does not fit my new 2x3 Makiflex back, the Graphmatic is too thick to fit in the back.
The strap on this camera body is homemade, using Nylon Webbing, and some Black Velvet sewn-in, for comfort. I need to make straps for my two other Makiflex bodies, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
I also had a friend drill-and-tap some metric machine bolts, which fit the cable release sockets on these cameras. I can then screw-in Sinar Norma Cable Releases, and it works very well for tipping the cameras. I cut the machine bolt length to fit the camera's socket, using a hack saw.
I have hiked for miles with this camera, looking for landscapes, and not too surprisingly, it is very portable and easy to use handheld. It is bulky but not excessively heavy, in my experience. Not too bad with a wide strap for carrying.

Calendar Based Booking, Contracts, and invoices
If you would like to have a Calendar Based Booking feature added, please vote. The idea is this: a potential client visits your site and wants to know your availability. She sees that a particular day is available, and clicks on that day. She is then presented with a form that contains fields of information that the photographer deems necessary. After filling out the information, the data is emailed to the photographer, and that date is temporarily booked, pending payment. If you would like a calendar/booking feature similar to this implemented, please vote now
The one thing i do not like about Zenfolio is there is no way to have a booking calendar. So that clients are able to see when you are free to book
So, to book your photography session with us you would look at our calendar that is posted and the dates of availability and pick your day and time out of the options listed available and then pay to book your session all at the same time.
I simply would like my clients to be able to see my availability. As a business owner I have a ton of things to do and this could easily take care of the "date discussion" I often have AND provide quick information to prospective clients, especially brides who may be hesitant to call. PLEASE DO THIS SOON!!!!!
I would love some way to do online pre-sales of packages and appointment scheduling. Rather than using the traditional pre-sale envelope where clients have to write their credit card number on it, some system where parents can purchase their package online, as well as book their appointment time. Along with this, a mechanism to allow the school to reserve times for people who still want to use a paper form, without needing to go through all the steps online. Just a simple form where names would be filled out in each time slot. This would really help us out in our business!
Their are other companies out there who offer this service, can we get this too?
Would love have a page with a calender on so clients can see what days have been fully booked, free time slots or upcoming events, Rather than creating your own on a custom page. They could have different themes for the holidays and linked to a gallery or promo page for upcoming events..... Thoughts?
PLEASE make thing easier, We need a calendar option to post our availability for our clients to be available in the template options. I;m considering going back to Photobiz they offered that and things were much easier, less confusing to design.
Event calendar that provides the ability for customers to view current photo sessions booked and the ability to request a photo session
I would like the ability to have a calendar that could sync with outlook and possibly other email clients
Calendars would be a great addition I think...
A scheduler!
I would like to see booking forms options....I would like my clients to be able to book a session online and make payment.
We need a system where by customers can use an online calendar to book a studio session with a photographers.
Thai system is basic website 121 come on guys sort it out
It would be awesome if ZENFOLIO reached out to millers lab and integrated there bookmonline feature within your zenfolio website. You could accept reservations, display an online calendar, accept payment for the reservation and this also would always keep your google calendar up to date. It seem like a no brainer and this would make ZENFOLIO stand out among there competitors.
It would be added value to the photographers and reduce there workflow.
In regards to the technical process in completed this project. It wouldn't really take much since millers lab has already designed all these features.
Just need Zenfolio and Millers to work together. But it would bring added value to both companies.
Maybe a google calendar attachment?
Instead of going to another program to create a client invoice, how great it would be to be able to add a client to our customer list and generate an invoice for sessions, services, deposits, etc right from within Zenfolio. Then a client could pay the invoice online using Paypal. Add that and a calendar/session reservation system and i think the Business Pro option would be kick ass. Other thoughts?
To display which horse shows I will be attending taking photos
Allow people to sign contracts and pay for booking through the site.
the ability to have clients schedule and pay session fees though Zenfolio would be very useful. the paypal integration is there, so just some sort of scheduling plug-in

If this could be combined with the ability to receive online payment as well, that would be WONDERFUL!!
This would be awesome i was just talking to some of my clients about this..
Darron Mark Photography commented
Check mine out: www.dmfoto.co.uk/availability
I really need to have this calendar on my website. My competetion has this I Love it.
New England Weddings commented
I love this idea. Shootq and Weddingwire have similar functionality. Simple tracking of Inquiries, Bookings, Invoices and Payments. The ability to link to an external calendar would be great too.
It would be a nice way to tie Photographer Central into the mix and give that idea some legs too.
Yes yes yes!!!!
I'd want the calender to be optional to view by clients, I am a newborn photographer so can't book specific dates inadvance but I do desperately need to to keep all my invoicing in one place to would love a solution to taking a booking fee through zen.
Yes Please
Bonne commented
yes yes please, I'm new, but this would be another reason to stay with Zen!
Zofeen Khan commented
I have been waiting for this topic to be reviewed for ages . It would be make scheduling so much smoother and I think the idea of being able to take cc payments through the booking system would be great too. Fingers crossed!!!
Avril commented
Please make this sync with local calendar software (iCal, Outlook etc). Many people do not use any Google stuff on principle.
For research, take a good look at StudioCloud.com. It's free with optional paid add-ons. Also look at LightBlue. Not free but a 30 day trial available. It would be so much better to have all this functionality (and that of ProSelect) in one place and not have to flit between apps or websites.

Yay! Under review! Crossing my fingers.

The striker has instead admonished his Group G opponents for lacking a "tough-guy" leader to carry them through tight matches.
He will likely feel well-placed to make a judgment. Born in Berlin, Boateng could also play in direct opposition to his brother, Jerome, this evening. They already became the first siblings to face one another in a World Cup finals, when their respective sides met in the group stage in 2010.
Germany were comfortable winners of their opening group game this summer - against Portugal - but Boateng is adamant that they still lack something vital. "In really tight matches for Germany in the past there was never anyone who stepped up to take charge," said the forward. "It's not just an opinion of one player; a fundamental truth."
None the less, the Germans will be expected to triumph tonight to progress from the group. "We need to take the teamwork, confidence and enthusiasm we had in the opening match into the Ghana match," said Phillip Lahm, the Germany captain.

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from White House Chef: Eleven Years, Two Presidents, One Kitchen by Walter Scheib and Andrew Friedman.
This is the snack mix President Bush brought with him from the Texas Governor's mansion. It's a Texas twist on an old American favorite, and we had to have it on hand at all times. In addition to eating it at the White House, the President never traveled without it.
YIELD: Makes 8 cups
1. Preheat the oven to 250° F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cereals, pepitas, pistachios, and pretzel sticks.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients until well incorporated. Pour this mixture over the cereal mixture and toss well to coat but gently so as not to break the cereal and pretzels.
4. Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 45 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the mixture cool, and serve, or serve in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

37 year old man | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking men 27-50 within 200 miles
I can't be everything to everyone, but i hope i can be something to someone.
I was a very competitive athlete back in college and have found that spunk again. I have a passion for running, working out, food, watching sports, and everything outdoors. Not completely back in shape, but working on it. I heard San Diego has some amazing theatre that I should check out. I am spontaneous and try to live life to the fullest, but would like to find someone to share it with. I was born in a small town in Alaska and moved here about 2 years ago. I am very down to earth, genuine, not materialistic, sort of shy, and very family orientated. I do not go out to the bars much and would rather spend quality time with friends, family, and the ones I care about. I graduated college back in 2001, have a good paying job and love what I do. I guess I am looking for that LTR that shares some of these same interests and can challenge me a bit each day.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting

I once worked for a designer who was very proud to tell me that, within the very first week of working for him, he had over $225K in accounts receivable. This conversation started because I had asked about a chair in his office that was over-flowing with what appeared to be relatively new job folders. He explained that those were projects that were ready to invoice. When I asked why they hadn't been invoiced he said that they had been so busy producing work they hadn't had time.

If you haven't revisited your contracts, terms, or operating procedures in the last six months, it may be time to do so.

First of all, let's define a brand. Let's just say it's a promise to the consumer about a product or service. So, a verbal brand could be simply defined as what you say about your brand. Since you're presumably a designer or contractor, and what you bring to a project is a 'value' (interpretation + experience + education) and a value is the perception of the consumer, wouldn't it make sense that how you talk about your service is critical to your success?

Does anybody else think this 49ers-Nolan hiring is very similar to our hiring of Jim Mora. Nolan has a lot of similarities with Mora. Both are sons of solid NFL coaches and have worked under and in a variety of organizations. Nolan, has more experience as a coordinator, and probably is the more "well-rounded" coach having spent a year coaching WRs in Baltimore, and not just doing defense.
I remember talking smack with 49er fans last August before our opening day game, and them saying how people within the 49ers organization thought the Falcons made the mistake by hiring Mora to be head coach, and Knapp to be off. coordinator, and it should have been switched, with Knapp as head guy, and Mora as DC. But it seems that the 49ers let one get away, and Mora has had great success here in Atlanta. I'm sure some skeptics will still say Mora is only an average coach with one great player on his team, but the Falcons have been hungry all season long, and have overachieved IMO to a very high degree. We have gone 12-5 this year, and I suspect we would be at the very least 9-7 or 10-6 this year, so I had high expectations going into this year, but the fact that the Falcons have not lost two games in a row, and have made progress throughout the year, shows me that Mora's ability is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not about to elect him into the Hall of Fame, but it seems that he could be a guy that is capable of bringin Atlanta a few championships over the next few years, or at least getting them to the next level, so that his successor is able to do so.
But I just feel like the 49ers are trying to mimic the Mora hire with their hiring of Nolan. I think Nolan is going to be a good coach because he reminds me so much of Mora. The big question in San Fran is whether they are going to get a competent GM that is going to bring in the right players.
Wouldn't it be very interesting if the 49ers managed to hire Tim Ruskell, a McKay protege? It would be one time in the history of sports that it was all lopsided. Instead of the Falcons trying to mimic the success of that organization, it would be the 49ers mimicking the Falcons.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (AP) — Maggie Lucas and Penn State used the Big Ten's most potent offense to win the conference title for the second straight season.
No. 8 Penn State women lose in Big Ten semifinals
Lucas showed up on Saturday, but the rest of the offense was gone.
The eighth-ranked Lady Lions shot 22 percent in a 54-46 loss to Michigan State in the semifinals of the conference tournament.
"We didn't shoot the ball well at all," coach Coquese Washington said. "They shot the ball much better than we did. We had too many stretches where we got pretty decent looks that didn't go down."
Lucas, the conference player of the year, had 23 points and nine rebounds, but none of her teammates scored in double figures.
"They played good defense," said Alex Bentley, who was 3 for 15 from the field. "They tried to stop us from getting in the lane. They forced us to go into the baseline. We just couldn't get our offense going."
Jasmine Thomas scored 14 of her 19 points in the second half and Becca Mills added 16 points for Michigan State (24-7), which will play Purdue in the Sunday's title game. Jasmine Hines had 14 rebounds, helping the Spartans to a 52-38 edge on the glass.
Michigan State allowed just 51.4 points per game during the regular season, tops in the Big Ten. It was the lowest scoring total and shooting percentage this year for Penn State, which rolled to two convincing victories over the Spartans this season.
"We rely on our defense," Michigan State coach Suzy Merchant said, "so to see our defense come to fruition tonight, I'm very, very proud of them and feel good about the win."
Penn State (25-5) won the regular-season championship and lost in the tournament semifinals for the second straight year. The Lady Lions fell 68-66 against eventual champion Purdue in 2012.
"You look at this game, it's an anomaly," Washington said. "It might be the worst shooting game we've had all season. And again, credit Michigan State, but this isn't who we are."

Amber Tamblyn Chose Yellow Dress for Wedding
Amber Tamblyn recently got married to comedian David Cross. Unlike most brides who usually wear a white, ivory or cream color wedding dress, Tamblyn decided to wear a yellow form fitting wedding dress with short sleeves instead. The beautiful bride styled her hair with flowers and choose a yellow bouquet of flowers to go with her dress.
This is quite a refreshing change to the typical weddings as it also shows the unconventional side of the actress when it comes to being different. The wedding was conducted in a beautiful wooded outdoor area where the fall foliage and changing color of the surrounding trees simply complemented the color of her dress.
Amber Tamblyn arrived in style cruising on the water in a red canoe with her father, Russ Tamblyn along with family and friends. The bride and family stepped out of the canoe and casually walked around barefoot enjoying the beautiful weather and lovely forest surroundings.
Her bridegroom, David Cross also arrived in a casuAl White button down with a sweater. For the wedding ceremony, he put on a jacket and bow tie.
The couple exchanged vows in front of nearly 100 people which included a list of star-studded celebrities. Recently married Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were also present along with Jason Ritter, Amy Poehler and America Ferrera.
WeddingCreators.com.au spokesperson commended Amber Tamblyn for her recent relaxing and unconventional wedding. Her wedding dress choice of color and outdoor wedding style shows she is carefree and not limited to traditions. At the same time, the actress looked simply lovely being comfortable to walk around barefoot enjoying her own wedding with family and friends.
The wedding dress site also encourages women to pick the wedding gown based on their body shape so that they would feel comfortable and beautiful in it. Currently, the site offers a free retro fit service where women could pick out a few wedding dresses of their choice and their picture will be photo shot on to the wedding dress to help them decide which dress will look better on them.

With the exception of strider and night stalker, I would prefer vehicles rather than obscure beasts
In the Chinese Zodiac calendar, the year 2014 is the "Year of the Horse". Toyguru (Scott) has vaguely suggested horses will be coming. Do you think he will tie the two together and offer up several Horse characters in 2014? I can see them doing one a quarter, either in sub or out of sub...
Silver Storm
Night Stalker
And I'd even love to see Teela's golden unicorn.
They already have the standard horse buck and, with some alterations, they could easily make Silver Storm, Arrow, and Teela's golden unicorn. Once they have the Stridor buck, they can easily make Night Stalker too; again, with some alterations to make him slightly unique.
With the exception of strider and night stalker, I would prefer vehicles rather than obscure beasts
Making sure the vintage line is fully reproduced in the classics line
Positive trades; Nightcraw
I couldn't care less about some unprocessed steaks
(That's right, we eat horses in Belgium!)
I wouldn't mind ONE horse other than Swiftwind. But I hope they don't load us up with a bunch of horse clones unless there is something drastically different about each of them. Bring on Night Stalker and Stridor thought! I really can't wait for those. Stridor was my favorite 'beast' growing up.
Well, I'd say prepare to eat some horses, Beastmaster. Silver Storm, Arrow, and Stridor have been trademarked. And Teela's golden unicorn was featured in the new DC comics. They are coming, sooner or later.
Bring on the Dark Riders!
"Skeletor to King Randor, Skeletor to King Randor, come in you Royal Boob!"
I wouldnt mind Storm or Arrow but still would prefer Clawdeen and Battle Lion.
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Fingers crossed for stridor
I would love Stridor and NightStalker, I remember back in the day He-Man and Skeletor had BattleCat and Panthor. While Fisto and Jitsu had Stridor and NightStalker. It always made them seem special to me.
I would love to see al the horses from MOTU and POP released. My sister had nearly all of them when we were kids, and Crystal Moonbeam and Crystal Sundancer were really neat. Ya, they were girly, but they were cool. And the buck now exists, so it's a no-brainer to me.
I know some fans don't want to see this, so I suggest Mattel do a POP horse sub, and target girls. Perhaps put inserts in Barbie and Monster High toys about it. Price them all at $30, and have a She-Ra 2.0 for those that sign up. This would attract a new generation to POP, and would be a safe testing ground. You might also get some fathers of those girls to rekindle their memories of MOTU, and maybe they'll buy their own MOTU sub for themselves or their kids. Just and idea to grow the brand. Horsepower!
BraveStar and 30/30 for SDCC... I can dream can't I?
Sagitar is a centaur.
The Blonde Teela Thread
The Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn Thread
Sagitar (Jetlag) Horde Wraiths Azdar Belzar Chazdar Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn 200X Teenage Prince Adam 200X Teenage Teela 200X Sorceress General Rattlor (MYP) 200X King Randor and Queen Marlena 200X Battle Armor King Randor and Battle Armor Queen Marlena Ice Armor He-Man WMD Roboto
Bring on Night Stalker and Stridor!
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Night Stalker 3) Roton 4) Karg 5) Lodar 6) Mask of Power Demons 7) Talon Fighter 8) Road Ripper 9) Lord Masque 10) Snake Mountain 11) Vintage Fright Zone 12) Dragon Walker
Storm would be quite easy to make and would allow Catra to have a mount (mind you the same could be said of Clawdeen)
Stridor and Nightstalker are quite demanded and would make perfect mounts for Fisto and Jitsu.
I wouldn't be surprised if any of these 3 was released in 2014.
20 Most needed characters before MOTUC ends...
Heroic: King Miro / Hawke / Dakon / Delora
Evil: Evilseed / Lodar
POP: King Micah / General Sunder/ Twiggets 3 pack
Horde: Vultak / Hunga / Prahvus
POG: Veena
SnakeMen: Sssqueeze
Rock People: Granita
NA: Darius / Sebrian / Crita
I wouldn't mind Arrow. But I'm not sure they can reuse the Swifty buck to make him Filmation-esque. They never should have sculpted the brace around Swift Wind's neck (this also prevents you from making an accurate Spirit).
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets King Ahgo
I would love to see any version of Storm make it into the line, as well as a toy-accurate Arrow. Teela's unicorn would be neat, but would be even better if it came packaged with a mini-comics variant of Teela to go with it.
Oddly enough, I don't really care any more if we get Spirit or not for Adora.
But Stridor and Nightstalker? Those are MUST HAVES!
I wouldn't mind the Crystal horses (would be kinda cool if there were three, and one each could go to The Star Sisters!), but they aren't must haves.
I'd be happy to see:
Night Stalker
Filmation-accurate Arrow
Teela's Unicorn
I mean, I wouldn't mind the others too much, but I doubt anyone but hardcore POP fans are really Jonesing for them. I think they will try to reuse that Swift Wind buck at least one more time (or at least most of the buck) to help justify the original tooling cost. It is a beautiful sculpt after all. I'm just pretty sure most of the fanbase is not clamoring for a rainbow of horses.
Mind you, I'm one of those completists who wants one of everything (reasonably. I know I'll never have a silver She-Ra).
Maybe some of the lesser-demanded horses as convention exclusives??
"Mattel's policy of things being seen as a failure if they don't sell out in minutes still annoys the hell out of me." .org Member paulioscorchio
Enjoy my articles on action figures, Christianity, and much more on Infobarrel.
Night Stalker!!
Make it happen, Mattel
I can't tell if your original post is serious. You think that they would release four horses in one year? I want ALL the horses but I can't see them ever doing more than one a year.
Also, what was (or where was) Scott's vague suggestion?
While I'd take them all, I NEED to get Spirit. He's probably the most major character we don't have.
I also won't consider the line "good enough" until we get Arrow as well as Stridor and Nightstalker.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
I'm game for all the horses. Stridor, Arrow, Storm and Night Stalker are at the top of my beast want lists.
TOP WANTSNA:Crita/Darius/Nocturna/Sagitar/Sebrian/Tuskador/Kayo/Lizzor/Andros/
Warlock from Blackstar is part horse. Him I would love.

and from the surveys. There is, therefore, an implicit assumption that the cost functions in the model reflect the thought processes of the traveler. TRANSIMS is one of the new generation of behavioral travel models and as such is still under development. As its validation process continues, much optimism has been expressed about its capabilities. However, one of the limitations we observed is that it is not sensitive to certain geometric factors, such as lane width, and the length of both acceleration and deceleration lanes. In addition, the microsimulator has been found to be inaccurate in predicting the velocities of individual vehicles along weaving sections of highways.4 Results and their presentation. As long as a region is defined by a set of vertices, user-selected data can be drawn, and this capability facilitates the display of data aggregated into regional areas. Users can manipulate three-dimensional objects using the Output Visualizer's graphical user interface. Getting the Output Visualizer to generate output is facilitated by an extensive, user-friendly system of menu options. Moreover, by setting a configuration file key, this module can be run remotely to produce images that may be incorporated into reports, presentations, or motion pictures. Assessment. According to the FHWA, TRANSIMS will enable planners and citizens to have a better understanding of the effects and implications of transportation policy choices. It provides planners with the means to evaluate proposals to enhance the serviceability of the highway system, as well as transit, bikeways, and pedestrian amenities. The FHWA further surmised that the fine level of detail afforded by the software would not only more accurately represent the impact of transportation movements on travel, driving, and air pollution emissions but would also aid in the assessment of the socio-economic impacts of proposals for improvements (Public Roads 2000). The latter capability underlines the importance of this model as a valuable tool in assessing environmental justice concerns in the foreseeable future. Models such as TRANSIMS, however, have large data requirements and therefore would require a major commitment of resources by an agency. STATE OF THE PRACTICE�TRANSPORTATION CHOICE Equity is perhaps the most important goal served by increasing transportation choice. Some members of a community may not be well served by the automobile-oriented transportation systems prevalent in most U.S. cities. Lower-income populations, children, and people with disabilities are often particularly sensitive to restricted transportation choice because they tend to walk and cycle more than average and are more vulnerable to barriers and risks. Transportation disadvantage refers to people who face significant, unmet transportation needs. The four attributes below are key determinants of whether an individual or group is transportation disadvantaged: 4 Weaving is the crossing of two streams of vehicular traffic traveling in the same direction along a significant length of highway without the aid of traffic control devices. Capacity is significantly reduced in these weaving areas because drivers from two upstream lanes compete for space to merge into a single lane and then to diverge into two different streams. 186

� Nondrivers � People who cannot drive or do not have access to a motor vehicle. � Low-income persons � Drivers and nondrivers whose basic transportation needs are significantly constrained by financial limitations, especially out-of-pocket costs. � Disabled persons � People who have physical disabilities that limit their ability to travel independently. � Automobile-dependent people � People who live in a community with automobile- dependent transportation and land use patterns. A person with any one or two of these attributes is not necessarily transportation disadvantaged. For example, individuals who use a wheelchair are not transportation disadvantaged if they can afford an automobile and chauffeur or can drive and live in a community with good universal access (i.e., one designed to accommodate people with a range of needs, including wheelchair users, people with visual disabilities, and pedestrians pushing strollers or handcarts). On the other hand, the greater the number of these attributes a person has, the more likely he or she is to be transportation disadvantaged. Obtaining information on the number of people with attributes associated with being transportation disadvantaged may be difficult. Table 7-2 describes some indicators that may be used when more specific data are unavailable. There is considerable overlap among these categories. One should try to identify the number of residents who have multiple attributes, such as lower-income, employed, single parent, and low-income with disabilities. Table 7-2. Indicators of transportation disadvantage and possible data sources Indicator Data sources Households that do not own an automobile Census, NPTS, consumer surveys, and local (sometimes called zero-vehicle households) transportation surveys People with significant physical disabilities Social service agencies and special surveys Low-income households Census, household, and labor surveys Low-income single parents Census, social service agencies, and special surveys People who are too young or old to drive Census and other demographic surveys Adults who are unemployed or looking for work Census and labor statistics Recent immigrants who cannot drive Census, social service agencies, and special surveys Note: NPTS is the National Personal Transportation Survey, available at http://www.bts.gov. Although not everybody in these groups is transportation disadvantaged--and not everybody outside of them has their mobility needs satisfied--these populations may be used as surrogates if better data are unavailable. Table 7-3 suggests which modes tend to be particularly useful for various user groups. 187

Because their transport options are constrained, people who are transportation disadvantaged can be seriously affected by even relatively small changes in transportation systems. For example, low-income nondrivers may be highly dependent on a particular walking path or transit route. Changing that route may have major repercussions on their access to destinations important to them. To the greatest possible extent, it is important to use data collection and analysis methods that can identify such effects. Occasionally, this may require different analysis techniques than are used in conventional transportation planning. Table 7-3.

A preliminary, qualitative analysis of a project's effects on transportation choice should be conducted for all projects. Relatively detailed analyses are useful whenever a project: � Widens an existing road; � Is expected to increase traffic volumes; � Eliminates or moves a transit stop, trail, sidewalk, or other nonmotorized facility; � Reduces the shoulder width of the road or adds shoulder rumble strips; � Increases the length of city blocks; � Increases the number of driveways that intersect nonmotorized facilities; and � Increases the incline of pedestrian or bicycle facilities. In most cases, an understanding of the transportation choices available within a community provides vital information for cities and regions trying to enrich the opportunities for non- motorized transportation as part of their demand management goals. The following four general steps are suggested for analyses of the extent to which protected populations have a choice of transportation modes and services: 188
