It used to be standard practice for a child with ambiguous genitals to be assigned a gender at a very young age, surgically altered to be more clearly that gender and raised as the identified gender. Is this practice ethical?
An excerpt from a transcript of a Nova special (it covers more than just ambiguity at birth) is below.
Each year, thousands of children are born with genitals that fail to develop normally. This intersex condition, as it is now called, is more common than cystic fibrosis and Down's syndrome combined. And the causes are many.
All embryos start life the same. But from six weeks, if the baby is to be a boy, the genes on the Y chromosome cause the fetus to develop testicles, which then produce the male hormone testosterone. It's this testosterone that makes the male organs grow. Without it, the child develops into a female.
If, however, something goes wrong with the delicate balance of hormones in the womb, the genitals can appear ambiguous.
This baby girl was exposed to too much testosterone, causing her genitals to appear masculine. And infant boys who aren't exposed to enough testosterone because of a genetic defect can be born like this, with genitals that look almost feminine.

Mumford & Sons
- Island Records / Glassnote Records
- September 25th, 2012
The UK quartet coined themselves Mumford & Sons almost five years ago in December of 2007. When the four joined forces at the time, they likely had no idea what the road ahead of them would encompass. All four members – Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall, and Ted Dwane – each play a variety of instruments, and they play them as if they have been since birth. The combination of their talent is likely the force behind Mumford & Sons' strong use of the banjo, upright bass, mandolin, and piano give their music a bluegrass/folk instrumentation. The four members were destined to meet and make music; their energy & camaraderie is clear in their live performances alongside their albums.
As for how the four met, Marcus Mumford and Ben Lovett met while attending King's College School in Wimbledon. Marcus eventually ended up playing several gigs for various acts including Laura Marling throughout the summer of 2007. At this time, West London was finding an increased exposure to bands similar to Mumford's kind of music. Someone once said that time is everything, and in this case, it was. While embarking on his music career endeavor performing throughout West London, Marcus met Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane. He also reunited with Ben Lovett at that point in time. Serendipity? The four of them had a brief spell thereafter as Laura Marling's backing band before forming as one and embarking on their own musical journey.
Alas, the band blinked. In 2010, the band was one of the main attractions at Glastonbury Festival. At Hop Farm Festival later that summer, Mumford was also a headliner. At this festival, Bob Dylan was also a headliner. If this wasn't a sign that good things were to come for them, we don't know what was: Mumford & Sons drew a larger crowd than Bob Dylan. It is clear that Mr. Dylan did not mind this, seeing that the two perform together (alongside The Avett Brothers) for the US' 2011 Grammy awards. This, in my opinion, is when Mumford & Sons truly gained exposure within the United States. I remember watching the performance live and asking my friends if they knew who the guys performing were, because I was in love. Much to my dismay, Mumford & Sons had somehow slipped around my radar for a year or two without my realization of their existence.
Sigh No More (Mumford's first album) was released in the UK with Island Records in October of 2009. It wasn't long before they brought the album over to the States with Glassnote Records in February 2010. Realizing that this is not an album review for Sigh No More, I will remain vague in detail; however, this album is and was one of my favorite albums of all time. Mind you, my taste in music is loving anything and everything relate-able, sing-able, dance-able, cry-able, and feel-able (and no, I am not one of those 'I don't like country or classical' types). To me, music that resonates is just that. Sure, one can find beauty in something where another finds fault, but to me, music is the only language every single person in the world comprehends. Nothing is more beautiful than that. I digress. I was truly looking forward to this release, scared it wouldn't live up to my expectations, and hesitant when I pressed play on the first track.
Marcus Mumford was brought up in an evangelical Christian household with both of his parents National Directors of the evangelical Vineyard Church in the UK. In an interview with The Guardian, Marcus said that he "thinks faith is something beautiful, and something real, and something universal, or it can be… we all have our separate views on religion, but I think faith is something to be celebrated." Don't get me wrong, the new album Babel is not heavy in Jesus references, but faith is a strong theme throughout it's entirety.
One of the strongest statements any artist can make is within their album title. At times the title is unrelated to anything within, but most of the time the title is all-telling for an underlying theme through the album. As with a majority of the review that follows, what is said can only be an assumption. I wish I could say I am friends with the band and asked them for the hidden meanings throughout Babel. But I can't, so I won't. The biblical story of the Tower of Babel is ancient & mythological, but as with most biblical tales, it delivers a simple message and life-long moral: limit your pride and don't overstep your bounds. A group of people had gotten together to build a tower so tall that they could see the Christian God. All of these men spoke the same language (and all of the earth spoke one language). The story claims that God then changed all the languages so no one could understand one another to confuse the builders' attempting to build the tower. It's a story of confusion and inability. A story of struggle. While the story is not specifically referenced throughout the album, a theme of emotions that the builders must have felt under the microscope of defeat certainly shines through.
Babel is a strong and impressive sophomore release from Mumford & Sons. The album is crisp in quality, remains true to the band, and worth every minute waiting for its release. It takes every positive attribute about Sigh No More and intertwines them with the band's rooted musicality into a cleaner feel. After reading some reviews on the album prior to listening myself, I found that many people were criticizing the band's lack of innovation in comparison to their previous album. I continually ask myself why music critics feel it necessary to try and fix something that is clearly unbroken. Babel is similar in feel, yes, but there is a reason that Sigh No More is/was one of my favorite albums of all time. Mumford & Sons has done a phenomenal job playing to their strengths and remaining true to themselves. I found that the use of piano, banjo, and mandolin were pivotal to this albums success. That said, though, the mixture of percussion, violin, trumpet/flugelhorn, trombone, fiddle, guitar, and vocals are well-blended for a truly powerful listening experience you can actually feel. A job well done.
Anyone who knows Mumford & Sons knows one of the most enticing attributes of their style is their use of crescendo. The band has weaved the album together getting each song's message/meaning across by use of instrumental crescendo, vocal crescendo, and/or the silence of either two. The entire album pulls from life's most universal and extreme contrasts in life, love, self-worth. The contrasts extend into the lyrics heard throughout, but also in musicality. Some of the songs dwell on one extreme or another, while other tracks take two different extremes into consideration (loss in the beginning with a sense of hope in the end). When listening to an album, we obviously look to some common theme throughout it in lyrics, but the in-depth epiphanies I had listening to the album from start to finish was similar to learning a life lesson. Mumford & Sons took Babel and changed it from a music album to a story; a story on love, loss, hope, grief, courage, perseverance, being lost, and then being found. Every human on earth can relate to these life-altering emotions & common themes. The album is truly universal in feel. Unlike the story of the men building the Tower of Babel, this album speaks a language that can be felt throughout the world. It tells a story that can be understood throughout the world as well.
Babel is an album that I will listen to for a long time to come. There is a track within it that speaks to almost every human emotion felt. Being someone who looks to music as a release in my own life, Mumford & Sons has truly provided (alongside their Sigh No More album) a soundtrack to human life on Earth.
1) "Babel": A fast-paced way to start the album in contrast to what I was expecting. The typical Mumford & Sons track starts out slow in feel and progresses to a climactic outburst of instruments. Strong vocals in the beginning and throughout. The track encompasses a theme of weakness and strength, living with walls and playing parts, but tearing them down. "Babel" truly portrays the metaphorical undertone to their musical style: playing with highs & lows.
Babel--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Babel
2) "Whispers in the Dark": The beginning of this track has a classic Mumford feel (there's a dull whisper sound in the beginning of the song and it eventually turns into a crescendo of sound). It is vocal-heavy in the beginning and grows with the instruments resonance. The banjo plays a huge role throughout the track – phenomenally so. This is one of the tracks that references the Lord. I am not religous, but nonetheless one set of lyrics stuck with me: "It's not what I do that makes me. In my weakness I grew strong. Held my tongue. And I've learned from errors made early, a brush with the devil can clear your mind and strengthen your spine." Again, a theme of weakness and endurance in the darkness life can bring.
Whispers-In-the-Dark--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Whispers In the Dark
3) "I Will Wait": This is the only track from the album that leaked prior to this week's release. Similar to the first track on the album, "I Will Wait" has a fast beat right from the beginning. "I came home like a stone and fell heavy in your arms. These days of dust…" These lyrics are reminiscent of Sigh No More in their use of the words 'stone' and 'dust' – both natural elements of the earth. It is apparent that this band chooses their words carefully, and somehow they intertwine with life's natural elements and universal experiences. Within this track lies a heart-wrenching meaning to a beautifully and ironically composed track due to it's fast tempo. I have to pay another tribute to the strings in this track as they truly make it whole alongside the vocals. You can truly feel the emotion, power, and passion behind Mumford's voice. The track builds upon itself but starts off fast, so imagine the power behind the final seconds of the track (they are emotionally gripping). Thus far, all three tracks have had a strong emphasis on the theme of strength and persistence through heartache and hardship.
I-Will-Wait--EM0912Strea: Mumford & Sons – I Will Wait
4) "Holland Road": Herein lies another "heart like a stone" reference. It's another slow beginning and reminded me of the actual "Sigh No More" track off their previous album. I found myself wondering where on earth Holland Road is, because he is coming back from it. I suppose a little research may find my answer, but some things are better left unknown. Another track with an exemplary build to an instrumental break. It seems that the breaks in vocals are very generous in giving the listener time to soak in the intimacy of the world the band is bringing us into. "If you still believe in me, I'll still believe". In comes the "Winter Winds" trumpets (Sigh No More reference). Again, a powerful build to a point of epiphany and then comes the sing-along-esque "ah, ah, ah's". This is one of the most powerful tracks on the album.
Holland-Road--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Holland Road
5) "Ghosts We Knew": This starts with guitar and very strong lyrics. A piano eventually makes its way into the picture, and then comes string instruments. "So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light". Again with hope & light and darkness. This is one track on the album that actually does not have a huge impactful instrumental break, but the lyrics are so powerful to the point where the track is still relevant. It seems as though it's a break for the listener to let the album resonate a bit and not seem too overwhelming in outburst.
Ghosts-That-We-Knew--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Ghosts That We Knew
6) "Lover of Light": A great segway from "Ghosts That We knew", this track's title itself provides light on a somewhat dark album thus far. This is another one of my favorite tracks on the album. It's tale is one of companionship and promise. He speaks of darkness in "there will be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown but I'll be yours if you'll be mine". The track is medium in tempo and the instrumental break is strong in piano and guitar in contrast to their typical instrumental breaks. So what is Mumford doing in the darkness to persevere? He continually talks about hope in the beginning of the album, yet his tone is sorrowful. This is the first track that he actually addresses the actions he plan on taking to move toward the light. The theme of this song is 'change'. At about the 3:30 mark, banjo picks up and the instrumental break crescendo makes it's inevitable way into the track. It's gorgeous and seems to encompass all instruments blending beautifully together. The break is more positive in feel than previous ones in the album. Again, I feel like this is the track that shifts the negative tone into a positive one.
Lover-of-the-Light--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Lover of the Light
7) "Lover's Eyes": This track has a slower tempo and is heavy in vocals. There's a pick-up in tempo at about the 2-minute mark. Mumford places heavy emphasis on needing help throughout the entirety of this track. I don't have many notes on this one, but take a listen and take interpretation into your own hands.
Lovers-Eyes--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Lovers' Eyes
8) "Reminder": This is the shortest track on the album (2-minutes long). It's not heavy in musicality. Again, this album is more of a story than it is a set of tracks. Each track flows heavily into the next in context. This track serves as a reminder to the listener that Mumford has lost someone (he was asking for help from whomever that person/ideal is in the previous track). He needs a constant reminder of where he can find her, a light that will give up the way. He's essentially begging for whomever he needs to make an appearance at this point. Companionship, a universal theme in life, will inevitably save us all. What is the purpose of life if we don't have people to share it with? I would say this very short – but very powerful – track gives us a glimpse into a plea for help to get through the darkness.
Reminder--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Reminder
9) "Hopeless Wanderer": This is yet another builder. He's finally come out of the darkness in this track! He makes several references throughout to what saved him while he was "there" (wherever there is), and he uses this track to give advice to those who are still in the dark. This track showcases a raw and genuine use of harmony in the chorus. At the 3:40 mark, the strings literally go crazy. Again, a mid-track showcase of talent for this band. It's a powerful track of empowerment and courage; turning, once again, the dark tone of the previous song into one of light.
Hopeless-Wanderer--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Hopeless Wanderer
10) "Broken Crown": This song seemed very similar to "Roll Away Your Stone" or "I Gave You All" (Sigh No More reference) in the beginning. One can imagine from the title's use of the word broken that this track may have an angry underlying tone. It does. Toward the end of the track, the use of instruments to accompany Mumford's voice really nails the anger home. This track plays on both extremes of strength and weakness, but overall the track is stronger than ever in musicality. It's like a fight with himself throughout – he's trying to empower himself. The track ends with an incredibly powerful lyric: "In this twilight our choices seal our fate". Truth.
Broken-Crown--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Broken Crown
11) "Below My Feet": This is like a prayer song. If Mumford and Sons were to get down on their knees in the middle of a field and pray to whatever higher power they believe in, this song would encompass all of what they would say. "Keep the earth below my feet", as in, don't let me fall. Essentially, this song is one in which he is asking his higher power to provide him the wisdom to continue walking in the darkest hours of life. Truthfully, I find myself doing the same thing at times. We look to someone else, something else, ANYTHING else, to give us strength in our hardest times in life. This is a great track to listen to as a reminder of things we should be grateful we have if we don't find ourselves having to ask for them. Typically during Mumford songs, they build the music to a climax and keep going with it. This track is unique in that at the 3:40 mark, they actually slow the tempo down (unheard of for Mumford) for a really gorgeously heart-felt impact.
Below-My-Feet--EM0912Stream: Mumford & Sons – Below My Feet
12) "Not With Haste": This is the final track on the album. Mumford's lyrics contest that he is what he is and sadness will be far away. He will be free. This is the freedom song of the album; the conclusion to all of his questions and struggles throughout. The track doesn't provide the listener with an overly happy ending, but a realistic one. It's a great way to end an album of extreme emotional contrasts in story & musical composure. He leaves the listener at ease. I would describe the way they have ended this album with this track as a classy send-off. They have thrown the listener through an emotional/musical rollercoaster, yet in context and content, we're left content. One can hope that this is the way our lives' stories end.

Chesnee family grieves loved ones who drowned at Hunting Island State Park
Published: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 5:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 5:09 p.m.
CHESNEE - Tiem Mok, described as the rock of his large, close-knit family, bought tents and supplied gas money to relatives just so they could all camp together at Hunting Island State Park before the children started school next month.
For Tiem's nephew, Mikey Phomma, 17, it was going to be his first time camping.
Mikey had been staying with Tiem, 38, and his wife, Samnang "Sam" Kim, for about three weeks and planned to enroll in high school and get a job in Spartanburg County. Family members say the teenager had a rough life in Philadelphia, quitting school and falling into a crowd of friends who were a bad influence on him. He had even recently been robbed at gunpoint.
"We were all very happy for him," Mikey's aunt, Vanthong Phomma of Philadelphia, said of her nephew's move to South Carolina. "He called home and said, 'I like it here. I think I could do better here. I could start my life over.' He was inspired by Tiem and Nathan (Tiem's son, 16)."
Tiem wanted to show members of the extended family the beauty of Hunting Island in Beaufort County, said his sister, Tum Mok. Her daughter, Julie, 14, and Nathan went into the ocean Sunday afternoon, the first day of the family's vacation, riding the surf with a small boogie board.
They were in the water up to their mid thighs or so, Tum said. The ocean was rough, and Nathan and Julie got caught in a rip current, which pulled them into chest deep water. Nathan began screaming, and Mikey went into the ocean to help them. Mikey couldn't swim, so Tiem followed, telling Sam to call for help.
Nathan was the first to disappear under the water. Mikey grabbed onto Julie, holding onto her shoulder and then around her waist as she tried to stay afloat.
"She was trying to hold up Mikey," Tum said. Tiem reached the teens, and all three were pummeled by the waves. In the rough water, Tiem drifted away from Mikey and Julie.
"They vanished, one by one," Tum said.
Tum, who can't swim and is always telling the smaller children to stay in shallow water on beach trips, lost sight of her daughter. She collapsed onto the sand, believing her oldest child had drowned, too.
Bystanders who didn't know the family braved the waves and went into the ocean, Tum said, but many were beaten back by the surf and couldn't reach Tiem, the boys and Julie, Tum said.
Julie almost went under with her uncle and the boys. She had been able to grab Nathan as he went under, but she couldn't pull him up, Tum said.
Gasping for air, Julie heard a voice. Her father had told her while teaching her to swim years ago that if she got into trouble and got tired to float on her back, and that's what she did. Eventually, a man was able to grab Julie and carry her to shore.
The girl was hysterical.
"She was saying, 'It's my fault, it's my fault,'" Tum said. "She said she should have held onto them more."
"She's really beating herself up over it," said Sokhom Pal, another family member.
"I was speechless," Tum said of that moment she realized her daughter was safe. "I was happy because my daughter was there, but my brother and nephews were gone."
Family support
Pal, the Moks, the Phommas and a host of siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins and grandchildren gathered Thursday at Tiem and Sam's home to prepare for a traditional Buddhist funeral ceremony.
Under a huge tarp supported by wooden beams and rope in the front yard of their Elder Road home, dozens of relatives greeted other arriving family and friends, including clients of Tiem and Sam's nail salons. Sam is a nail technician, and the couple opened their first salon, Daisi's Nails, on California Avenue in 2008, about a year after the family first moved from Philadelphia to Spartanburg County.
Last year, they expanded the business to another salon, also Daisi's, in Boiling Springs.
Sam works with clients, while Tiem bought supplies, cleaned the stores, did laundry and whatever else the shops needed. He also took the children to school and picked them up every afternoon. Tiem and Sam also have a daughter, Daisi, 12, and son, Dylan, 9.
Under the makeshift tent in the front yard, relatives from California, Philadelphia, Georgia, Louisiana, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Colorado and Cambodia sat and chatted at folding tables and chairs. In one corner of the yard, smoke rose from charcoal grills as steaks sizzled and then were served with rice and a spicy sauce of hot peppers, lemongrass, mint and basil. No one could leave the home without eating. The family just wouldn't hear of it.
That was the kind of generosity Tiem was known for.
"Even if he just met you, Tiem was very generous," Pal said. "Strangers became family."
"He was the rock of the family," Tum said of her brother. "I could call him for anything."
Tiem and Nathan were always getting the family together and were known as the peacekeepers.
"If there was a conflict in our circle of friends, Nathan would calm them down and stop the fighting," said Pal's son, Nicholas, who attended Boiling Springs High School with Nathan, who was a rising junior. "He was my best friend. We grew up together. He's probably one of the most generous, caring people you'll ever meet."
Although he didn't play organized sports, Nathan enjoyed basketball and throwing the football, Nicholas said. He was athletic and smart, never made trouble with his parents or teachers.
For Mikey, his aunt and uncle's home among green, rolling hills in Chesnee must have seemed like paradise. Even just seeing horses or cows in the nearby fields was something new and vastly different from the cityscape of Philadelphia. Tiem and Sam had taken Mikey to Lake Monticello during his three weeks here, and when he got to the beach last Sunday, he was amazed by the white sand and palm trees.
"He loved Hunting Island when he saw it," Pal said.
Vanthong Phomma, Mikey's aunt, said she was thankful to Tiem, Sam and Nathan for being a good influence on her nephew.
"For showing him you can better your life," Vanthong said. "They were very supportive."
Vanthong and her sister, Mikey's mother, Khaekkeo Phomma, recently reunited with Mikey before he came south. They know the last three weeks of his life were happy with Tiem, Sam and their children.
"We know he left this world happy," Vanthong said.
Family members say they have many people to thank, including strangers who helped in the aftermath of the drownings. Eleanor Huey stayed at the camp site, comforting the family and taking care of the children. Carole McGrath, Leila Rose and Cheryl Phillips, people they didn't know before the tragedy, also assisted.
Melanie Pruett, a friend of the family, helped by setting up a fund for donations to Daisi's and Dylan's college funds. Donations may be made to the Mok Family Fund at any First Citizens Bank branch.
Pruett also arranged for medical personnel to be on standby at the funeral ceremonies, which began Friday and continue into Saturday morning. Tiem's parents collapsed at the beach from the shock after learning their son and grandchild had died.
"They took it hard, and the family is very concerned for them," Pal said.
On Saturday, family and friends will place a carnation with a candle and incense in each of the coffins, to symbolize purity and overpower the darkness of death, Pal explained.
"It's like part of us going with them when they leave," she said.
The rite requires white carnations, but florists have run out of white, and other colors will be used as well.
So many flowers for so many mourners of three family members - father, son and nephew.
"They died together," Pal said. "And they'll go together."

Pictures of the past 2 years!
I'd like a crit on my riding a from last year and the year before. If you would :)
Also, if you can do me a bareback riding crit, that would make my day.
** The last picture is from this summer
I am going to be honest, I have only ridden western a few times so I don't really know too much about it. In the first western picture your upper body was too forward, but that was fixed in the last picture. Also your hands are supposed to be nice and low, but this also was fixed in the last picture. :) Bareback (waist down) I think you could be sitting an inch or 2 farther back. If you ever needed the brakes you wouldn't be able to do anything, because your hands are literally right in front of you. And if you ever tipped your toe up you would trip your horse (this I have done and I almost went flying). Bareback (jumping) I think you could tip your toes up and use your calves to help keep your lower leg in place. Otherwise your release is good, and your off of his back. You improved quite a bit in a year, you should be proud of yourself. :D

I need 2 or 3 completely different e-mail campaign/offers (varying in graphics, sexiness, simplicity etc) to be designed for a/b/c testing to increase the occupancy rate of a fully staffed, luxury vacation villa rental in Mexico targeting high-end luxury vacation clientele. The basics are in place: a great website, fantastic guest comments, listings and reviews on key websites like Homeaway, Flipkey, TripAdvisor etc.
I might decide to create a specific landing page on the site related to the campaign, then I'll need that to be designed as well. The copy & design needs to impress recipients ASAP, slap them in the face with luxury, gorgeous scenery, gorgeous photos of the place, heart-emoting copy that will give them a visceral feel of what they will experience and have appropriate calls to action. I say appropriate because this is a high-end luxury product so a campaign selling Justin Bieber T-shirts isn't relevant here.
So if you haven't successfully written copy for luxury, hi...

Old Trafford hotels
Old Trafford
Manchester, in the United Kingdom, has become synonymous with exciting sporting moments since its famous soccer team, Manchester United, was formed in 1878. The club's home stadium, Old Trafford, is a legendary soccer ground that has seen a lot of history, including partial destruction by bombing in WWII. It is also a treasured icon of British sporting culture. Die-hard fans can book a Legends Tour and be treated to a half-day, once in a lifetime experience with their favourite sporting star, including a Q&A session and lunch at the Old Trafford Stadium.
- Check out the fascinating and checkered history of Old Trafford's home team, starting with the statue of Matt Busby and continuing with the recently erected United Trinity Statue featuring Manchester United legends George Best, Denis Law, and Sir Bobby Charlton.
- Take a canal barge tour from Manchester and finish with a guided tour of the Old Trafford grounds, players facilities, and museum.
- Enjoy a full meal or just get a snack at the Red Café in the Alex Ferguson Stand, but be sure to keep an eye on the door – a famous face might suddenly appear.
Manchester International Airport is the third busiest in the United Kingdom, and as such, its transportation network is both comprehensive and reliable. Buses run to Manchester city every half hour, and trains run every ten minutes for most of the day. There are ample taxis available, or if you'd prefer to drive yourself, all three terminals have car hire counters. When travelling to Old Trafford, there are several options including bus, rail, taxi, and metro. The nearest metro station is Old Trafford, and is just 100 metres or so from the stadium.

Westcott has enhanced the already popular Halo & Apollo product lines by building the frames with fiberglass ribs. The fiberglass ribs provides added durability for those on-location situations and windy days!
The Westcott 2027 is a Bob and Dawn Davis 45" Halo kit. The convenience of an umbrella meets the control of a softbox. Built on an umbrella frame, the Halo light modifiers set up in seconds. No additional parts, no need for a speedring and no extra pieces to lug around. The Halo kit takes simplicity to a whole new level. Opening up just like an umbrella and set up in seconds making them perfect for any on-location photographer.
Most softboxes require expensive and heavy adapter rings to properly set up. Built on an umbrella frame, these units simply pop open like an umbrella and fit into the umbrella receptacle found on virtually all style studio lights. The Halo light modifier is a perfect pair with speedlites offering soft box control with the set up ease of an umbrella. An optional 5015 Shoe Mount bracket is required to mount the speedlite and Halo onto a light stand with full tilting capability. No need for an adapter ring as virtually all style studio lights come standard with an umbrella receptacle to attach the Halo light modifier.
Perfect for photographing large groups or children, the Halo light modifiers offer over 140-degrees of light spread. You get the broad light source effect of an umbrella, while maintaining the light control of a softbox. The light head is designed to fit inside of the Halo requiring less set up room. If you wish to maintain access to mono light controls and not have your light head fully enclosed, a mono version 2026 is available. Face the light forward through the white diffusion front for specular highlights.
Specular highlights will provide a "hot spot" on your subject with a greater fall off from highlights to shadows. For a softer and more even light, face the light head towards the back of the Halo light modifier and enjoy less than 1/2-stop light loss from center to edge. This will result in your subject being very evenly light with just a gradual fall off from highlight to shadow. This has the same effect of using a softbox with the internal baffle and outer diffusion panel both in place. The frame is constructed using all-metal components, no plastic to break.

Several sites are reporting that Microsoft is planning to get rid of the Xbox 360 Elite, with only Limited Edition game-themed models coming with 120GB of storage.
The recession and lowered prices of the other SKU's have allegedly been contributing factors towards this change.
To quote: Necessity dictates that if you're an Xbox lover and fan of HD downloads, then the Xbox 360 Elite is the only way forward. But it seems that all is not well with the most expensive of Microsoft's hub, with reports emerging that the console is about to get a dose of the Red Rings of Death.
According to Electronista, the top end console is going to be killed off in its everyday incarnation, with only limited edition, game themed models coming with 120GB of on board storage.
Word is that the recession, coupled with knockdown prices for the Arcade and Pro versions, is causing the £230 console to pile up in stores the world over.
Microsoft is planning an Official announcement in the next fortnight, with those after more storage for XBLA and movie extras being offered bigger upgrade drives instead.

In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, some things were created by an all-benevolent superbeing-type god. A not-so-benevolent deity also has a job to do, though, and once the world exists, his task is to cause a little mayhem. The original Doodle God, both the iPhone version and the browser game, focused on creating the universe by mixing basic elements one after the other. Doodle Devil, on the other hand, is about crafting the darker side of life, blending rudimentary concepts together to create chaos.

Doodle God, Doodle God, does whatever a Doodle God does, clicks some elements, combines them all, which makes new ones, and creates the world, HEY THERE! You should be a Doodle God! Give this relaxing puzzle game a try and unlock your full Doodle Godly potential. And yes, I enjoy saying Doodle God.

This product costs way more than it needs to. However, it is very effective and I will keep buying it because I can't figure out how to recreate the exact blend that works for my nails, which like to peel. You can purchase all the ingredients in larger bottles separately for about the same cost and make at least thirty times more product than you get in these tiny bottles, but it just isn't the same. I like to use organic jojoba oil when I run out of this, but I always wind up going ahead and spending the money for Solar Oil even though it aggravates me. It really does work, and my nails are stronger and my cuticles don't look like I've just survived a twelve-year Alaskan winter. I've accepted the fact that I have to use it. Some things are just worth the splurge, and this is one of them.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure

I have repurchased this twice now, and I am about to get my third bottle.
I started using this in hopes that it would get rid of my peelies and help my nails grow long and strong. I am a recovering nail/cuticle biter and my nails definitely do not show it.
I apply this as a cuticle oil occasionally when my nails are painted, but the main thing I do is apply and massage into dry nails. This has helped them tremendously!
This oil is very moisturizing, and I can definitely tell a difference in how strong they are. I get less breaks and I am able to grow my nails out. I can tell when I stop using this regularly because my nails go back to peeling and breaking.
I would highly recommend!

I wasn't expecting to like this so much but it's awesome. Much better than Lush Lemony Flutter. And it might sound weird but I think this is the reason lighter color nail polishes work on me now. Before they would always look messy somehow. *shrugs* I don't know. This isn't that expensive if you buy it on Amazon.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Normal, Olive, Neutral

Its a shame Sally Beauty Supply no longer carries this product. I've been using it forever. Its the best cuticle oil out there. The almond scent is heavenly. It soaks in quickly & leaves no residue. I use it every night & my manicurist can tell if I skip a few days. Full of good stuff: Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Almond Fragrance, Tocopherol Acetate(Vitamin E).
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Green
I had a teeny tiny bottle of this, and used it per the Nail Board's oiling recommendations. It's the only thing that has gotten my nails healthy and happy. Much less peeling and less brittle. I've ordered more, and I'm trying to use up some other oils, but nothing compares to Solar Oil. If you're having trouble with your nails, give it a go.

This has really wonderful ingredients. Jojoba Oil is the second ingredient, which is the only oil with molecules small enough to penetrate the nail plate. Once the Jojoba penetrates, it acts as a carrier oil for all the other great ingredients in this product (vitamin E, for example). Without Jojoba oil, nails oils just sit on the surface, so this is really a well balanced oil that is going to deliver some serious moisture to your nails and cuticles.
The only thing I would change about this is the smell. It's not a bad smell, it actually smells rather good (marzipan), I just would prefer a citrusy scent since "solar" makes me think of the sun...and sun ripened oranges...! I'd love to see this released in a variety of scents with the same ingredients.

This is a wonder cuticle oil. I use to swear by the stuff years ago. Now I just purchase Jojoba oil and decant into an empty bottle.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm

Brilliant cash cow for CND... Overhyped and pointless, if you ask me.
It is a cuticle oil. You can achieve the same thing by rubbing olive oil on your nails, people. You could buy 10 giant bottles of olive oil for the price of like a drop of this stuff. The difference? This stuff smells like Heaven (almond oil), and Olive Oil smells like... olive oil.
Everyone claiming it has changed their nails? Not for me. Have not noticed any difference at all. I purely use it because it smells good and I feel like I'm supposed to use oil on my nails, but it is so pointless. Lotion does the same thing.
Claiming it makes manicures last longer?? Whaat? Not for me! In fact, when I use it, it makes them PEEL sooner, from the cuticle end.
They sell tiny little bottles if you want to try it before committing to a full bottle. The sales lady told me it was great because you can stick it in your purse. This makes me laugh so hard for two reasons: 1. Is a normal-sized bottle of polish too big to fit in a purse?? LOL and 2. Is this really that essential of a product that you must carry it around with you??? Like you're out and about and you're like OH MY GOD MY NAILS NEED OIL NOW.
If you're obsessed with this stuff as others seem to be, get it on Amazon... SOOO MUCH CHEAPER than in the stores.
But remember--- this is glorified almond oil. You are being duped.

I received this as part of a gift awhile ago and just recently got around to using it. Initially, I honestly had no idea what it was, so I had to look it up on the manufacturer web site. It's a couple of different oils and other products that are intended to condition the nails and cuticles. I had heard via some more Googling that it can be used if you're wearing nail polish and that it will in fact improve the wear of your polish. I decided to put it to the test, although I didn't expect much.
Thankfully, I can admit when I'm wrong -- this stuff is great, and after a week of using it, I already don't know what I'd do without it. The condition of my nails has improved a great deal. They're stronger and healthier-looking, and my nail polish does in fact wear much better than it did before. Days after applying, I have very minimal tip wear, where before chunks of polish would peel off my nails.
I've just been sweeping Solar Oil over my nails and cuticles and under the tips of my nails before bed, when I do my usual application of hand cream and moisturizers. Then I rub it in to my nails and cuticles. I also dabbed this onto my cuticles today before pushing them back when I gave myself a manicure, and it worked pretty well for that purpose as well. I'm ultimately very happy that I stumbled onto this product and will definitely repurchase.

I used this stuff years ago and thought it was perfect. Lately I've been working hard at trying to keep my nails looking better, so I purchased it again. No. No. No.
It's gotten expensive ($7.50 for .75 ml at Ulta), the bottle is smaller, and it just doesn't do the trick for me anymore. Honestly, I had been using a Sephora cuticle oil in a little squeezy tube (that they have now d/c), and then a Sally Hansen twist-up tube (Maximum Growth Cuticle Pen), and sometimes plain old Vaseline. Truly, all three work better than Solar Oil at keeping my cuticles smooth. (I really think I'm going to buy another tube of the SH stuff, my nails have been growing like crazy! I don't really want them long, but it seems to have worked wonders.)
I've put this stuff on at night, religiously, since I bought it, and massage it in. Every single morning, my cuticles look dry and raggedy. I am really disappointed.
On the up-side, it smells deliciously of sweet almond oil. That's a plus, but for dry, icky cuticles, I can use something else that will actually work.

Where the US goes, the rest of the world will follow; so goes the old economic maxim. So is the world on the brink of a second recession? Katherine Azmeh has the US view.
July 11, 2010 12:46 by Samuel Potter
It's a whimsical name for what some fear may become a nasty economic reality: a "double-dip" recession. And the specter of a return to negative gross domestic product in the US, following an optimistic period of positive growth, is increasingly on the minds of both financial types and family folks here in America.
Earlier this month, an employment report from the US Department of Labor suggested that the economic recovery may be slowing, now that certain government stimulus packages have been concluded.
Pessimistic types are looking to gloomy indicators like high domestic unemployment, the European debt crisis, and wobbly housing markets. Combined with "sinking stock prices [they] are all weighing on a fragile US recovery," the Huffington Post declared earlier in July.
But, like so many things, semantics can make all the difference. Depending on how you define the double-dip recession, plenty of economists see room for that special brand of American optimism that can turn a bad day on the stock market, into a jubilant firesale, depending on how you look at it.
Robert Hall is an economics professor at Stanford University, and chairman of the National Bureau of Economic Research, NBER, a committee of economists charged with officially pronouncing the beginning and end of recessions. His take on the situation suggests that the "double dip" is an elusive, economic boogie man. And while the term might make for some splashy headlines, Hall says a genuine double dip is a rare bird, indeed.
"The idea – hypothetical because it has yet to happen – is that activity might rise for a period," he explains, "but not far enough to complete a cycle." This short-lived rise is followed by a second period of decline, and then finally, a period of increases that completes the cycle. If you buy Hall's definition, then a double dip recession does not pose an imminent threat, and hasn't for quite some time – at least three decades.
But not all economists employ as much rigor in the definition – seeing as much art, as science, in the matter. "There is no mathematical formula," declares Brian Bethune, economist at IHS Global Insight. "It's a judgment call."
So, what exactly is the view from the US, then? While indicators are mixed, the official word from NBER is that the recession that commenced in late 2007 is still underway, though bright spots illuminate the forecast. After posting declines for four straight quarters, America's economy returned to growth in the third quarter of last year. And official statistics from the US Labor Department say that the economy added jobs in the first part of 2010.
And while NBER avoids haste when pronouncing good news, analysts at Credit Suisse say that some commentators may be crying wolf, calling the persistent expectations for a double-dip recession "over pessimistic," Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
"The first-half pullback was due to external shock from the Euro zone," according to Fan Cheuk Wan, head of Asia Pacific research at Credit Suisse Private Banking.
"We don't expect a double-dip recession in the global economy. The market is over pessimistic," Bloomberg quoted Fan as saying.
And the word on the US streets is that analysts are now less concerned over the economic implications of a slowdown in China, citing rising optimism in Asian markets. The expected expansion in Asian economies, strong corporate earnings in the region, and equities rallies in Asian markets throughout the first half of 2010 bode well for sustaining the fragile recovery.
So, while your financial advisor is probably not suggesting you plan that early retirement, those in the know are putting to rest fears of the dreaded double dip.

Tiny drive-in theater hopes for donationsOctober 24,2013Drive-in theater
seeking donations
BETHEL The operators of whats believed to be the smallest drive-in theater in the country are hoping an online fundraising campaign can help them buy a digital movie projector.
A digital projector typically costs upward of $70,000, according to Adam Gerhard, who has been leasing the 60-year-old Randall Drive-in Theatre in Bethel.
He and co-operator Regina Franz are seeking about $45,000 and make up the rest from raffles and corporate sponsorships.
Gerhard told the Valley News if they cant get the projector, the seasonal cinema might not return for another engagement.
They have a Dec. 13 deadline to meet their goal.

A few ideas - been playing through the game slowly. Ascetic Aesthetic: Marty notices that 1986 Hill Valley is differet because, "it's so... so clean!" and "jeez, my Hill Valley never looked this good!" It's not all white, just cleaner than Marty's used to seeing. Brain Bleach: Marty would like some after realising that he's seen a picture of his grandmother naked. Getting Crap Past the Radar: Marty talks to the alternate 86's Jennifer about guitars. "I'm a girl who appreciates a hot lick." "I remember." Incredibly Lame Pun: Due to his apparently strict adheration to the Brown regime, Marty is called a "Brown-noser." The capitalization is original, according to the subtitles. Lampshade Hanging: When explaining time travel to an alternate version of Doc, it gets pointed out that it, "sounds like this time machine is an impractical and dangerous invention." Given how most of the series' problems stem directly from the De Lorean, it's kinda true. Shout-Out: Episode 2 has Marty say, "I've got a bad feeling about this." Twice. Episode 3 has, "I've got a REALLY bad feeling about this." Enough to count as Star Wars shoutouts? A mission objective is, "Explore this brave, new Hill Valley." Like Brave New World, right? When asked for a public display of affection, Jennifer says, "Let's not and say we did." Tagline for Easy A. Tempting Fate: Doc likes doing this. "I'm sure there's no need for concern," or, "Let's just walk into the lab and hope there are no more surprises..." Title Drop: This is played straight in the ending, when a future version of Marty says it word-for-word. For added awesomeness, the character is voiced by Michael J Fox.

Heidi Klum Won't Let Her Kids Jump On Her Pregnant BellySassy Smith
Um, I sure hope not! Why would we think otherwise? Jumping on a pregnant lady's belly, not a good idea. And Heidi Klum has banned her munchkins from doing just that.
Heidi and husband Seal are parents to three kids, daughter Leni, 5, and sons Henry, 4, and and Johan, 2 1/2, and they have warned their brood not to be too chaotic around Heidi's pregnant belly.
The supermodel mom said, "I had to stop them jumping on my tummy. They don't really understand there is actually a real human being in there." Yes, preggo's should not have their belly jumped on!
Heidi said she wants all of her children to have a good education. "You want them to stay in school and you want them to have a vision of what they want to be and give them ideas and encourage them. I definitely want to get involved and do that, think about job ideas.
She added, "Nowadays children look at everyone in the magazines and they want to be a basketball star or on a television show, but there are only so many people who can do those things. But you still should aim or dream for these things."
Heidi is due any day now with a little girl!
