So i see lots of mage soldier decks and some times other kinds of gowen-falkow decks. Obviously they pack grims like fire arrows and returns, but there is one thing i don't get, why don't the dilate + mage soldier decks which rely mostly on falkow units pack falkow pike?
Falkow pike is 1 SP less than fire arrow, also it does collateral damage to the units on same column as your target. It's damn easy to reach 60 damage.
Even if you don't play gowen at all, i believe falkow pike is like a super strong grim that is worth splashing. Very often falkow decks just swarm their field. Why not quit complaining that return is too weak (it's the opposite actually, super OP) and pack some falkow pike in there if you want the damage?
Such a good grim simply ignored ... sigh.

Hyō no Sho
this wiki
The Naruto [Secret: Scroll of Soldiers] Official Fanbook (NARUTO-ナルト-[秘伝・兵の書]オフィシャルファンBOOK, NARUTO [Hiden: Hyō no Sho] Ofisharu FanBOOK) is the second of the supplementary guidebooks on the Naruto series authored by Masashi Kishimoto. It is the first of two fanbooks.
It was first published on 9th October 2002 as part of the Jump Comics line by Shueisha, under publisher Kazuhiko Torishima. Its ISBN is 4-08-873321-5 and it has 281 pages. By 10th August 2005, it was in its 18th edition. Viz Media released its English translation on February 19, 2008.
The contents of this book consist of detailed background information on the world of Naruto and Konohagakure in specific, including information on the countries and villages, the shinobi organisational system and ranks, the Academy's history, organisation, and curriculum, clans, summons, Konohagakure's enemies, the missions shown in the manga, the main characters, and the Sannin. It also features fan drawings, games, an interview with Masashi Kishimoto, a coloured map of Konohagakure, and the pilot of the Naruto series.
- The names of the guidebooks come a from a kuji-in: a collection of nine hand postures used in meditation. These kuji-in have found their way into ninja folklore as a kind of magic spells. The kuji-in the guidebooks were named after is Rin-pyō-tō-sha-kai-jin-retsu-zai-zen (臨兵闘者皆陣裂在前), with the Hyō no Sho being named after the second.

Antarctica: A Journey of Discovery

Antarctica: A Journey of Discovery
Useful to Teachers Across Disciplines
Niwot Ridge Research Site. Source: NSF; Credit: John W. Marr. The National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs has produced a full-color, extensively illustrated booklet that highlights the variety of cutting-edge science conducted in Antarctica at the three year-round stations the United States maintains on the continent. The booklet is available on-line. It is aimed primarily at a middle-school audience and is designed to be useful as supplementary material for classroom teachers in a variety of subjects. Although the booklet touches on natural sciences as diverse as astronomy and astrophysics, biology, geology, meteorology and oceanography, the content also could lend itself to teaching geography and the social sciences.
Antarctica: A Journey of Discovery, was written and designed by the NSF-funded, Lincoln, Neb.-based Antarctic geological Drilling (ANDRILL) project, a multinational collaboration comprised of more than 200 scientists, students, and educators from five nations, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Antarctica: A Journey of Discovery [PDF Format] provides a basic introduction to subjects as diverse as the food web of the Southern Ocean—which includes penguins, orcas and shrimp-like krill; the use of ice cores to establish a climate record extending back nearly a million years; state-of-the-art particle physics as carried out at the South Pole; and how Antarctic geology yields clues to our planet's past and its development. The booklet also includes a brief history of Antarctic exploration (see more about this exploration in the Encyclopedia of Earth), both historical and modern, and material about how modern-day researchers prepare to work on the world's coldest, highest and driest continent.
The content focuses on examples of science that are carried out at the individual U.S. Antarctic Program stations; Palmer, on the Antarctic Peninsula; McMurdo, on Ross Island; and Amundsen-Scott at the geographic South Pole. Through its Office of Polar Programs, NSF manages the U.S. Antarctic Program, which manages all U.S. scientific research and related logistics on the southernmost continent and aboard ships in the Southern Ocean.
Designed as a "non-fiction book accessible to anyone at a middle-school reading level," the document should be equally useful for teaching about real-world Polar science or in helping to teach reading by providing young students with engaging content.
ANDRILL'S objective is to drill back in time to recover a history of ancient environmental changes to help guide our understanding of the speed, the size, and the frequency of past glacial and interglacial changes in the Antarctic region. Knowing how much and how rapidly the climate changed in the past is expected to provide important clues as to how climate change may affect the globe today.
Antarctica: A Journey of Discoveryis available for download in PDF format on the ANDRILL Website.

I had been waiting anxiously to see the film The White Ribbon for some time, due in part because it was directed by Michael Haneke and in part because it nominated for the best foreign film Oscar in 2009. Michael Haneke directed the film Cache, a French thriller that I really enjoyed. I expected The White Ribbon to have the same slow-building suspense and beautiful cinematography as Cache, and I was not disappointed. The movie revolves around the people of a small village in Germany just before the beginning of World War I. As mysterious "accidents" befall members of the community, the villagers (and the audience) are left wondering who could be so brutal to his/her fellow man. The village pastor uses a white ribbon in the movie as a symbol of innocence, but it quickly becomes clear that no one in the village is entirely innocent. As the suspense builds, the World War I backdrop becomes particularly pertinent: it perfectly reflects the growing unease and tumultuousness in the village and reiterates the subject of lost innocence.
The White Ribbon is a fairly long and slow movie, with a subtly creepy feeling that pervades the story. If it's an action-packed thriller you want, this is not the movie; however I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys intelligent, beautiful film making and a good mystery.

As some of you are aware, I've been working as an Apocoplay employee as an assistant game designer for the past month or so. My most important project was helping the oversight and design of Set 12. It was partially my responsibility to edit, organize, and playtest to insure it met quality standards. A lot of cards were changed from their original japanese versions for a variety of reasons. Many ideas were exchanged and pooled together to create the final product, which is what you see available now.
I'm opening up this thread to allow discussion between the test team and general public. Depending on interest, I may do this again in the future. If other testers would like to participate in this thread, I encourage them to do so. I reserve the right to ignore any questions I feel like and so do other testers. If this turns into a flamefest of any sort I will take appropriate action, including locking the thread.

Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a flowering plant endemic to Mexico (where it is known as Flor de Noche Buena, or the Christmas Eve flower), and which today is cultivated worldwide on a massive scale as an ornamental potted plant.
The branches of poinsettia can be long and thin, making wild varieties appear very different from the popular potted plants. Hawaii, Enchanting Floral Gardens Kula, Maui. Photographer: Forest & Kim Starr. Supplier: BioLib.cz
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Plantae
The Poinsettia is most notable for its bright red bracts (specialist leaves associated with reproduction of the plant).
E. pulcherrima typically blooms in the late fall and winter and is associated with Christmas and the winter holiday season.
In its wild form, the poinsettia is a shrub or small tree, growing up to four meters high.
The species was known as Cuetlaxochitl the the Aztecs, who used its bracts to produce a reddish purple dye.
Following the Spanish conquest of Mexico, Euphorbia pulcherrima began to be used by Franciscan priests in the area during Nativity processions at Christmas time.
In 1825, Joel Roberts Poinsett (1779 – 1851) became the first United States Minister to Mexico (the equivalent on an Ambassador today). In 1828, while visiting the area around Taxco del Alarcon, south of Mexico City, Poinsett, an amateur botanist, found the plant growing beside a road and took cuttings, which he brought back to the United States.
In 1848, historian William H. Prescott (1796 – 1859) published, The Conquest of Mexico, in which he recounted Poinsett's discovery of the plant. It was Prescott who gave the plant its now popular name.
Beginning in the 1920s, the Ecke family of Southern California played a significant role in cultivating varieties of the plant ("cultivars") with traits that make them more popular as an ornamental flowering plant. The Eckes became the first large scale growers of poinsettias and promoters of the plants in the United States, providing 80 percent of the wholesale market in the USA.
Poinsettias are popular throughout the world, often with a different common name.
Physical Description
The species grows as a shrubs to small tree, attaining a height of as much as one to four meters high, with many branches
The stems are "glabrous", that is smooth without hairs or projections.
The leaves are alternate, have minute stipules, are membranous, and, in wild varieties, are easily shed (are "caducous"). Domesticated varieties hold their leaves much more effectively; an adaption that has been important to their commercial success. In wild varieties, the bracts begin to aquire their characteristic red color in mid-November and remain so through January.
The bracts (red leaves) of wild varieties of Popinsettia narrower and less hardy than those of the cultivated varieties. Location: Hawaii, Makawao, Maui. Photographer: Forest & Kim Starr. Supplier: BioLib.cz
Location: Hawaii, Makawao, Maui. Photographer: Forest & Kim Starr. Supplier: BioLib.cz
The actual flowers of a poinsettia are the yellow structures in the image below, called cyathia, that the red bracts surround.
Photographer: Kai Yan, Joseph Wong
Commerical poinsettia cultivars are developed to have a number of traits:
Strong vibrant colors
Ability to tolerate handling, shipping and selling
Foliage that persists a long time in conditions very different from their native habitat (especially in elevated temperature and light)

Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia's public colleges and universities will have to earn the money they get from taxpayers by helping more students get a degree.
The change is part of a new funding formula approved Wednesday by a commission appointed by Gov. Nathan Deal.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the new formula links the state funding colleges receive to their improving student success and the number of degrees or certificates awarded.
The plan, which won't go into effect for a couple of years, represents a drastic shift from the current system that focuses on enrollment and how many credits students take, with little attention paid to whether they ever graduate.

Promo Code for Weight Watchers - Clare's Story
Save 30% with a Promo Code for Weight Watchers
Meetings have been the cornerstone of Weight Watchers since their inception some 40 years ago. Today, when you join Meetings you also have access to an array of online tutorials and applications that significantly support your weight loss journey. You can save 30% if you buy 1 or 3 months of Meetings. This is a special promotion. Some call it a Weight Watchers coupon code, although it's not an actual code. It's a discount on the regular program. Similar deals and discount codes for Weight Watchers can be found online.
Following studies on its effectiveness, Weight Watchers has helped millions of people lose weight. It is an effective diet plan that lets you continue enjoying food you eat without having to compromise. The PointPlus program they introduced, takes up the initiative for this and acts as the control agent in the process.
Innumerable people have gained through Weight Watchers diet plan, but here is one of the most intriguing stories of Clare.
Clare is Feeling Fantastic With Weight Watchers
Clare is quite obese for a cop, but however she decided to join the police force to fulfill her only dream. One day it so happened that the fitness test was re-introduced, and guess what? she failed... And was forced to leave her spot void.
She then gathered her courage up and walked into a local Weight Watchers meeting. She was well greeted and hadn't missed a single meeting ever since because she had gained in every aspect.
How did the program turn out to be?
The PointPlus plan helps much more if you turn into a vegetarian, so Clare adopted to the approach and started consuming more and more Quorn products, in addition to some daily exercise. But the PointPlus plan also lets you to not miss out on the food you enjoy, so Clare obviously capitalized when she felt left out.
Before she joined Weight Watchers, she had no control over herself. She ate up anything she felt like, but now after looking back, she noticed massive difference in her physical appearance like never before.
Almost every evening she now cooks meals like fajitas and vegetable roast by using a lot of fresh vegetables into the meal and some Quorn products as well. Heck, even her boy friend who does not have a plan to lose weight AND a regular meat eater enjoys the vegetarian meals she cooks. Although she has a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, she also does not completely stray from junkie stuff she loves. It is all about saving up the values of PointPlus, and in return getting to go in for a treat.
Apart from this, she also loves browsing her favorite recipes on the internet. If they are meat based, she can always substitute them with recipe builder. Such a recipe builder helps her collaborate with the PointPlus plan and helps her to stay loyal to the plan.
Weight Watchers also offer a mobile app that can tract various eating habits. Clare loves using the app whilst her weight is going down although Clare doesn't expect it to be that effective.
Despite she felt her journey hasn't been all that easy, her leader and the members have always supported and riled her to turn into something what she is today. This is quite uncalled for because she never started out with a specific goal to pursue as she kept going on with her life like it was just another day. Such consistency really helped her out, and I mean REALLY. Guess what? Today she is back to her favorite police duty.
I recommend Weight Watchers to all those who want a trusted and proven weight loss program. Take advantage of the Weight Watchers promo codes that are available this month.
Nutrisystem Coupon Discount - Brian's Story
A Nutrisystem coupon discount code is available for those who opt for Nutrisystem. It is a clinically proven program that I endorse. It has helped millions of people lose weight. One of them is Brian. He is 36 years old and lost 85 lbs on Nutrisystem. He loves his kids, like all parents. Recently his son Nick told him: "I like you when you are big dad, but I like you when you are skinny too because you can play more!" His doctor had warned him that you are a few donuts away from becoming diabetic. Thankfully Brian turned to Nutrisystem. He now testifies that Nutrisystem's greatest gift to him was that he is so much healthier. He can run up and down with his children and enjoy life! More about Nutrisystem savings here.

After Ash's win of the Toxic Badge in Virbank City, Nurse Joy informs Ash that the Unova League is three months away. They then decide to train hard right here in Virbank City and Cilan suggests getting some Beartic cones.
Cilan states a "princess" sat on a pillar near there on these very steps and Ash wants to get some Beartic cone, when Iris points out there is a "No Beartic Cone Eating Allowed On The Steps" sign. So they go off to get some Beartic Cones and eat somewhere else when Ash suddenly notices the Champion Cynthia from Sinnoh. She informs them of a Pokémon World Junior Battle Tournament taking place in East Unova in Lacunosa Town and invites them to come along to her Villa in Undella Town. They accept when Cynthia asks for one Beartic Cone.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket detects something in the bushes using the anti-stealth goggles created by Dr. Zager. Jessie and James then unleash Woobat and Yamask and they use Air Slash and Shadow Ball to force Meloetta out of hiding. Meowth then fires an electric net at Meloetta. She manages to avoid it, but gets hurt. She then escapes.
Meanwhile, they the group is driving Cynthia's truck to the shore in the airport. Iris begins to ask Cynthia a question, when Pikachu and Cynthia see Meloetta stumbling across the road. Cynthia stops and Meloetta collapses from the injuries earlier. Ash then recognizes it as the Pokémon he saved from a falling billboard in An Epic Defense Force! and Cynthia indentifies it. They lay it down and Cyntia sprays it with Super Potion. She then has Iris and Cilan get an Oran Berry while Ash and Cynthia go to get ice.
They come to a lake and Cynthia calls her Glaceon. She then has Glaceon use Ice Beam on the lake to freeze it. She then recalls it and they collect the ice.
They return to Meloetta and Pikachu and Ash puts the ice on Meloetta's head. Cynthia then gets a phone call and is asked to go back to Virbank City, so Ash and Pikachu are alone. Ash's Oshawott then comes out of his Poké Ball sensing her presence and then develops a major crush on Meloetta upon sight. Ash then sees the ice has melted and has Oshawott look after Meloetta while he gets some more ice.
Meanwhile, Iris and Cilan find some Oran Berries on top of a mountain and Iris realizes the rock is too broken to climb. She then has Emolga get the Oran Berries and they head back. They then find Ash and Pikachu working on the ice and so Iris sends Emolga to get the Oran Berry to Meloetta. They then ask Ash what's going on and he explains. Iris says Emolga is bringing the Oran Berry to Meloetta.
Emolga then finds Oshawott flirting with Meloetta and flies over when a gust of wind blows her into Oshawott's head and the Oran Berry gets near Meloetta. Meloetta then finds the Oran Berry and flies off. When Ash and the other get there, Oshawott and Emolga start fighting when Meloetta sings which calms them down. Cynthia then arrives back and explains Meloetta's song would heal people's hearts and that without it if it still sick, Meloetta won't be able to sing, and no one could be calm. Meloetta then leaves invisibly. Soon after, she explains that she left her change back at the Beartic Cone Stand. Iris challenges Cynthia to a battle with her Garchomp which is a Dragon-type and she accepts which Iris can't speak up.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket searches for Meloetta. Meowth then finds it and they run after it.
Cynthia will use Garchomp and Iris will use Axew. Iris starts the battle with Scratch and then uses Dragon Rage, but neither attack is sucessful. Cynthia then has Garchomp use Dragon Rush and then Draco Meteor, both of which have an effect. However, Axew refuses to give up and immediatly learns Giga Impact, charging into Garchomp and doing some damage. Garchomp then uses Brick Break while Axew is recharging, and then has him stop. The battle is then called off.
Team Rocket searches for Meloetta at the seaport to East Unova when Ash, Iris, Cilan and Cynthia come over to the dock to board the seaplane flight to Undella Town and Meowth realizes Meloetta is following Ash and co. to Undella Town. They then decide to contact Dr. Zager and then get to Undella Town before them. Meloetta watches Ash and the others invisibly inside the aircraft. Cynthia informs Ash that he has an old friend waiting for him in Undella Town.
Meanwhile, inside Cynthia's Villa, Dawn and Piplup look at the seaplane in the sky wondering if this is the one they took.

I am a wedding photographer in Cheshire, UK where the weather is often bad. I would not like to photograph a wedding with a phone unless the lighting (and therefore lighting) was perfect. I have taken some greta photos on my phone - but not in low light conditions!
Photographer to shoot 50 weddings in one day with his iPhone
Lauren Crabbe | Published: Feb 7, 2013 at 19:47 UTC157
Kevin Kuster is a veteran photographer — he has been taking photos for over 20 years and spent 18 years with Playboy magazine, leaving as its Senior Photo Editor. When he was first exposed to the concept of mobile photography, he wasn't convinced.
"At first, I didn't get it," Kuster told Connect. "I thought it was silly. I was a professional snob – I looked down on it."
After watching a few instructional videos, Kuster decided to buy an iPhone 4S and has been hooked on shooting with his smartphone ever since. The longtime career photographer says that his iPhone has reinvigorated his passion for photography.
Kuster, who lives in Chicago, was recently approached by the charity Watts of Love to help with an interesting photography project that seemed a perfect opportunity to make use of his newfound love of mobile photography.
Watts of Love raises money to send solar-powered lighting to remote locations around the world. By providing people with safe and sustainable lighting, Watts of Love hopes to reduce the number of deaths caused by dangerous kerosene lamps and boost local economies by enabling children to advance in their studies through being able to do schoolwork at night.
Kuster explained his interest in Watts of Love: "Photographers are all about using light and these people don't have light."
Watts of Love's first mission is to the island of Ilin in the Philippines. On top of lacking a reliable, sustainable source of light for the majority of its inhabitants, the remote island has not had a pastor or priest visit the island in quite some time. As a result, there are at least 50 couples that are waiting to tie the knot.
Watts of Love's partner, Missionaries of Mother Mary of the Poor, asked a pastor to come to the region to preach and perform the ceremonies.
When Kuster discovered that his visit coincided with an upcoming visit from the pastor, he couldn't turn down the idea of shooting the event. But instead of just photographing the service for Watts of Love, Kuster wanted to give the couples something to hold on to.
"Most of these people have never owned a photo of themselves," Kuster said. "This will be an amazing wedding gift."
Kuster will be taking portraits with his iPhone, printing the photos from a Canon Pixma mobile printer and placing them in acrylic frames.
When asked why he will be using his iPhone instead of one of his DSLRs, Kuster explained that a large DSLR camera can build a barrier between the subject and photographer.
"(Subjects) let more personality come out in front of an iPhone," Kuster said. "Instead of staring into a DSLR lens, they can look at my face. I feel like it's more personal."
At recent photo shoot of Civil War reinactors, Kuster primarily used his DSLR but also took some shots with his iPhone just for kicks. At a photo conference, he showed an audience the DSLR/iPhone photos side by side and they overwhelmingly preferred the iPhone images.
"It's never about the quality/grain structure," Kuster explained. "Technical was out of the way, it was about the aesthetic."
Kuster leaves on Februrary 8th and will try to update his Instagram (@kevinkuster) throughout the trip. Those interested in donating to Watts of Love can do so here: $10 buys a solar-powered light for a person in the dark.
We will be talking to Kevin Kuster again after he returns from the Philippines and can't wait to hear about his 50-wedding iPhone photo shoot.

People, we can kick and scream, but it is coming. Soon the few of us with true love for photography will stand in a small group, just like the people who love film photography stand today. Cameras will never go away, but will become the quarky, cumbersome instrument that only a few with deeper knowledge will understand. The new generation does not care too much about quality of anything and so things will change.

Yes, zoozig, you will be the great keeper of deep photographic knowledge and quality through the generations.

Yea just like back in the day when we used to pick a film to suit our shoot. Maybe Velvia for super saturated colors or your favorite B&W film for portraits. Choosing pre-made effects in Camera isn't much different. As far as quality how is this much different than the people who shoot some pretty amazing work with Holga's ?

That dSLR vs iPhone comparison is the epitome of manipulation. Unless you were standing right there, you did not see how he set up each photo and you did not see how the subject was to have allegedly relaxed when the intimidating dSLR was suddenly removed from the space inches from his face.
It's all a big joke, as is the constant flood of "me too" iphone photograph articles.
But what else does the mobile photography web site have to do with its time ...

Why is it so important to point out that it is all the work of an IPHONE!, couldn't they just use "mobile phone"? I'm almost mistaking it for an add from applez and nothing more.

OC anyone can get great results from any recent mobile putting it through various "creative" filters.

Don't know what all the fuss is about. Mobile photography has been around for years. My DSLR is mobile, compact cameras are mobile, phones with cameras are mobile.
It would take courage if the photographer was not a big name photographer, was not published and was trying to make a business out of wedding photography.
Its all about using the right tools for the job. Nothing wrong with using a phone if thats what you decide is the right tool for the job. I am pretty sure that 99.9% of wedding photographers wouldnt take the chance of using a mobile phone as their only tool to photograph a wedding, which just about says it all I think.

So true.... when the 35mm Leica came out, it was looked down on as not as good as the square format... and it was "mobile", relatively speaking.

One of the all-time greats of photography, Andre Kertesz, used to have to lie to editors about his camera. If he told them he used a Leica, they would not give him work. So he would print at home and then bring the prints in. They couldn't tell the difference. Cartier-Bresson even remarked "Kertesz taught us how to see." Just goes to show what great work must have been lost over the years because of prejudice, ignorance and convention.
As a D800 user professionally, I do love boat loads of data. But I also love my point & shoot and my iPhone when the Nikon is just too big and bulky to pull out and get a quick shot of the 13 week old grand baby.
As for ignorance and prejudice, I see the anti-Apple contingent just can't seem to pass on an opportunity to vent their spleens.

It takes courage to do what Kevin is doing, as it does for every other serious mobile photographer. Being an early adopter of anything is fraught with judgment and misunderstanding. i respect what Kevin is doing and am inspired by him.
BTW, all the photos in the Time Magazine issue about Hurricane Sandy, inclujding the cover, was shot by photojournalists who used iPhones (or maybe other mobile cameras) exclusively. That should tell you something about the validity of mobile photography!

I've bee a photographer for 40 years, sometimes professional (portraits, bands, editorial, wedding, travel, etc.) but mostly fine art (published in books, magazines & exhibited in galleries).
My son turned me on to the iPhoneography in November2011. I got one for a trip to Europe and took it along with my Lumix LX5, andthe only camera I used was my iPhone. I felt like I did when I first entered art school to learn photography (SFAI), totally engrossed with image making as if for the first time!
I have had discussions (polite term) with photographers who just don't get it about mobile photography and the sea change it represents with theffiled of photograpjhy. I read most of the disparaging comments here about Kevin's project as feeling threatened or jealous or both.

"Kuster believes that iPhone photography allows portrait subjects to let their guard down becuase they are not looking at an intimidating DSLR."
Gahhhhhhhhh that scary DSLR is stealing your soulllll
Oh please, those two shots of the guy are totally different, and personality? The SLR photo is a slice of himself in 'character' in his setting, the second is plain snapshot, he's concious of the camera and looking right at. The post process on the SLR shot is much more pleasing as well.
And "instead of looking at the lens they can look at my face"
Full res the iphone is blurry grainy and dead flat, the other shot has depth and detail that's so beautiful, I want a print of that! The iphone shot looks good on an iphone and left at it's tiny size... as much as I say resolution doesn't matter, IQ and resolution has a minimum standard...

I'm not a DSLR snob, but the right tool for the right job. There is nothing wrong with using a smartphone to capture the world. In fact in certain circumstances a smartphone may capture a better picture.
As far as the intimidation factor of a DSLR vs a smartphone, I don't buy it.
0 upvotes
I'm a professional photographer. I use an iPhone sometimes. Not for work.
I don't pull out my iPhone when shooting a wedding. Because if I'm messing with my iPhone trying to pull up the right app, tapping to focus, trying to get the exposure right by eliminating bright or dark spots from the compositions you know what I'm doing? MISSING IMPORTANT SHOTS.
The intimidation factor is just an excuse. If you can develop a rapport with your subject then you should be able to use just about anything to get a good photo of them.
"According to Kuster, this DSLR photo doesn't reveal as much of the subject's personality as the iPhone portrait (left)."
Every other "article" is a "pro photog uses iPhone to shoot (insert subject here)". There's gotta be SOMETHING else to write about...

Than the article is an outright blatant lie for you just informed us ( jcmarfilph) .......it was a mass shot of 50 couples all at once............... This is just the kind of info-mercial we can come to expect of a company who uses slave labor and false advertising to push their over-rated cheap chinese products on us. So apple will NOT shoot 50 weddings in one day then...... they will shoot 50 couples all at once in a mass wedding group photo session which will last aprox. 30 seconds to one minute. Thanks for clearing that up. Funny how plain , mundane and trivial it is now eh. So this was all spin doctored as I expected. That's more what we expected from apple a $20,000,00 spin on the title of an article to drum up interest on a $5 chinese produced piece of .C**P

Okay, so tell me one phone that is morally or ethically, or economically superior to the iPhone.
You can't because of all the tech companies out there, only Apple is doing something about worker conditions. All the rest of the manufacturers are cowering in the dark, hoping people don't notice they aren't doing what Apple is doing to stop worker abuse in their supply chains. Apple even recently fired one of their major manufacturers for not following their guidelines.
Alas, some people's lack of regard for the truth is seriously crippled by blind hatred. Not to mention an astoundingly poor discernment of quality manufacturing.

As far as I am concerned you can use whichever camera you wish so long as it gets the job done. However to say that the iPhone image reveals more than the DLSR photo above is a bit rich especially when they are completely two different images . The DSLR image for a start is taken from the side and doesn't show the subjects eyes.

Lighten up people! It's about the response (or lack of response) to a mobile phone taking photos, which can lead to a far more natural result. Posed photos may be technically good, but if they fail to capture the feeling of the moment, what's the point.
It's something like the observer effect in an experiment, when the observer changes what is observed. Mobiles simply have a lighter and less intimidating effect. Couple that with the near-ubiquity of DSLRs these days and you can see why pros are trying something different. And yes, the iPhone is a 'good camera', as I am sure other mobiles these days are. The softwear is a big part of this, no doubt about it, but wasn't how film got developed relevant, too?

The difference between those two civil war shots, besides them being completely different shots, is this.
The one on the left looks as if I could find it in a history book describing the life of a civil war soldier during that time. So a serious, real life setting where he seems to be pondering something. It makes me question what that is.
The one on the right looks funny. As if I used a time machine to go back to the civil war and showed up right next to this guy, and his reaction is confused as well as "you better not move or I'll shoot you". It looks a little more fake when he's looking right at the camera, not more personal.

No problem with this. Just tell the bride to walk 1mph on the aisle and put halogen lamp on the church to avoid noisy, blurred or out of focus shots. Tell them to pose for 15 secs each shot (lets see if they will be not distracted with the horrible sluggishness of iPhone). And oh, add 10 point USM t before you upload the picture so it will look sharp at 640x480 resolution.

If he wants to reduce the barrier between himself and his subjects, then why not use one of the excellent new, and small, compact cameras, that at least shoots raw?

When I got married 12-odd years ago we couldn't afford a professional, someone took photos with a disposable camera & scanned the photos at like 640x480. All of the photos, like 75 of them, could fit on a floppy disk. I owned a Nikon EM & FE, lenses and hot shoe flashes, but no one knew how to work them (remember, these were 70s-era SLRs with manual-focus etc).
I now own a Nikon D5100 with 18-105mm VR & 50mm 1.8G, Olympus E-PM1 with kit lens and my wife has a Canon Digital Rebel XS that cost all of $175 including the 18-55mm, bag & a tripod. That equipment, had it existed then, probably would've cost in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Even my wife's XS, which is the absolute "beater" of this group, would've been wonderful to have had back then. I could've put it in FULL AUTO mode and handed it to somebody & even though the photos still wouldn't been professional, they'd sure been much better.
I sure don't sit around thinking "man, if only iPhones had existed back then."

Maybe this all seems silly and absurd now...but I remember using record players to play records and cassettes in my Walkman to listen to music. I couldn't have thought back then that we would someday use iPods and iPhones and pandora and spotify for music. I think as skeptical as we can tend to be, we need to remember that just because someone tries something new or pushes the boundaries of where we currently "are"...it doesn't make it inherently wrong. I use both dslr's and my iphone and I love them both. But it doesnt lesson my creativity or abilities when I use my iphone! Keep pushing Kevin. I am excited to see what you come up with!

Amen! And it goes way beyond the record/walkman/ipod experience. Technology, creativity--art! have been evolving for quite some time despite the naysayers thankfully. These so-called 'professionals' on this forum come off very unprofessional with their closed minds. Their very own creativity has been polluted by the urge to please the client at all costs. Let people pursue their creativity however they wish. If you don't like mobile photography then don't pay any attention but spewing your venom on a forum makes you sound trollish and hateful. I am willing to bet anything that the same haters that are hating on iPhoneagraphy (bet u all hate that word) were hating digital cameras because it was never going to be like film!

Innovation is great (not to mention, it sells stuff). But people resist change. I'll bet you can still find some old timer who thinks his $25,000 hi-fi has better sound than an iPod Nano.

There is nothing wrong with change, but change should always aim for the better. This is only aiming for the worse in every possible way.
It's all just a publicity stunt to get some attention from fanboys of Apple gear. News sites jumps over this because this as it instantly gives them lots of hits and traffic to their sites, although as the comments seen here it's hardly positive feedback for them.

Wow, some of these comments are just flat out ignorant. Why the need to be so judgmental? The focus should not be on the photo equipment. Watts of Love (a charity) approached Kevin and he agreed to take time away from his family, his business, his life, to fly halfway around the planet so that he could help to change the lives of other people. People who don't have any electricity, no light after dark, and after Kevin's visit they will have a source of light. They don't have any photographs at all, and after this they will have one. A physical memory to look back on years from now, show their children, grandchildren, etc, something they never had before. Try to just put that into perspective for a second.... I think it's a beautiful thing that Kevin and this organization are doing.
No one is saying that mobile is the same or better than dslr. The fact is that mobile photography has become a relevant medium, and many people find it fun and more accessible than a dslr. I think too many people are trying to turn this into something it's not.
You are a great person, Kevin! Safe travels, and I can't wait to see the photos from this amazing experience. XO

>> No one is saying that mobile is the same or better than dslr. <<
Actually, the article states just that - the pictures with the iPhone turned out better than the ones taken with a "DSLR", and they even show a direct comparison.
While I agree on the advantages of a "stealth factor" for some situations (posed weddings not being one of them), I don't agree on having to trim down to a phone in order to get that effect.

I wonder.
You can take a high quality original and and turn it into a carppy time zoned / grained / aged / grainy / saturated picture , but you can't revers the process.
How many people out here wished they had the digital tech we have today out there when they had major events like getting married. It would be great as you can change the feel of those pictures if you wanted to ,as to the current tastes of the day. But you need to start with a good true original. Watch the movies they never clone the fat ugly guy.
The photographer will obviously have a back up shooter with a proper camera.

The mayor of Emerald Isle and several Food Lion managers spent Friday behind bars all to raise money for Children's Miracle Network and Vidant Children's Hospital in Greenville.
Mayor Art Schools, Emerald Isle Food Lion store manager James Newscomb, district manager Chris Whaley and regional manager Joe Stock headed off to jail to pay off a debt, so to speak.
The Food Lion store had a goal to raise $40,000 this year for Vidant Children's Hospital. But the managers decided if they exceeded that goal they would let the police lock them up. The mayor joined in that pledge. The store ended up raising $42,000...so off to jail they went!!
Food Lion is the largest national sponsor for Vidant Children's Hospital. It has raised over $2.1 million for the hospital.

Federal Shutdown Affecting One-Fourth of Mainstreet Economy
October Survey Results at a Glance:
- Rural Mainstreet Index indicates rural economy improved over the past month.
- October blizzards in western Nebraska and South Dakota are expected to have significant negative impacts on livestock producers in the weeks and months ahead.
- Approximately one-fourth of bank CEOs reported that the federal shutdown had a negative impact on their local economy.
- Bankers expect cash farmland rents to expand by only 2.5 percent over the next 12 months.
- Approximately 87.9 percent of bankers support the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Growth for the Rural Mainstreet economy remains positive according to the October survey of bank CEOs in a 10-state area.
Overall: The Rural Mainstreet Index (RMI), which ranges between 0 and 100 with 50.0 representing growth neutral, rose for the first time since June of this year to 54.3 from 52.4 in September.
While the overall index is up for the month, I still expect growth in the Rural Mainstreet Economy to be slower in the months ahead. Agriculture commodity prices for select products have declined significantly and are approaching breakeven for some producers, said Ernie Goss, the Jack A. MacAllister Chair in Regional Economics at Creighton University.
Farming: The farmland-price index declined for the 10th time in the past 11 months. The October index fell to 50.9, its lowest level since January 2010, and down from Septembers 54.0. Weaker agriculture commodity prices and poor weather conditions in some parts of the region lowered the farmland price index. Clearly, farmland price growth and cash rent expansions in the months ahead will not be as healthy as has been experienced in the past couple of years, said Goss. Even so, we are still seeing some record prices for cropland in the region. For example, James Brown, president of Hardin County Savings Bank in Eldora, Iowa, reported a record sale of 80 acres in Grundy County last week for $17,600 per acre.
The early snowstorms in Nebraska and South Dakota are expected to have significant negative impacts on livestock producers in the months ahead and will likely spill over into the broader economies in those areas. According to Todd Douglas, CEO of the First National Bank in Pierre, S.D., Recent record snowfall in the western part of the state is estimated to have caused up to 25,000 cattle deaths which will have a major impact on producers in the areas hit hardest by the storm. However, winter wheat progress is promising with the recent moisture over the rest of the state.
This month bankers were asked to how much they expect farmland cash rents to increase by over the next 12 months. On average, CEOs estimate that cash rents will expand by only 2.5 percent. This is down significantly from the 9.3 percent expected growth reported by bankers six months earlier. Bankers clearly expect farmland prices and rents to grow at a much slower pace over the next year, said Goss.
Farm equipment sales declined for the fourth straight month. The October index slumped to 44.6, its lowest level since March 2010, and down from 48.3 in September. Sales are declining and inventories are growing as farmers pull back on their purchases of big ticket items, said Goss.
Banking: The loan-volume index remained above growth neutral for the month at 64.7, though it was down from Septembers 73.5. The checking-deposit index fell to 48.3 from Septembers 56.3 while the index for certificates of deposit and other savings instruments plummeted to a very fragile 35.4 from 43.8 in September.
Hiring: Octobers hiring index jumped to 56.1 from Septembers 53.2. The upturn in hiring was unexpected and encouraging reflecting growth outside of agriculture, said Goss. Bankers were asked whether the President should approve construction of the northern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline. Almost 87.9 percent supported construction of the XL pipeline. Only 3.5 percent were opposed with the remaining 8.7 percent indicating that they were unsure or had no opinion.
However some bankers expressed very strong opposition to the XL pipeline. For example, Kelly Hammerlun, president of Pinnacle Bank in Imperial, Neb., said, The government should not allow any construction of the pipeline until they provide some assistance in regulating the contracts they are bullying the land owners into signing. Hammerlun argues that the contracts are full of landowner liability down the road.
Confidence: The confidence index, which reflects expectations for the economy six months out, was unchanged from Septembers weak 44.7. Our surveys were completed this week a day before the agreements were achieved in the U.S. Congress. The potential for a continuation of the federal government shutdown combined with the failure to raise the debt ceiling certainly weighed on bankers economic outlook, said Goss
This month bankers were also asked to gauge the impact of partial federal government shutdown on the area economy. Approximately 25.9 percent assessed that the impact was negative while the remaining 74.1 percent reported little or no impact from the shutdown. Home and retail sales: The October home-sales index declined to a still solid 58.0 from Septembers 60.2. The October retail-sales index rose to 52.6 from 49.2 in September.
With the uncertainty surrounding the Washington Congressional deliberations, I was surprised to see retail sales move higher. The Rural Mainstreet housing market continues to rebound at a healthy pace, said Goss.
Each month, community bank presidents and CEOs in nonurban, agriculturally and energy-dependent portions of a 10-state area are surveyed regarding current economic conditions in their communities and their projected economic outlooks six months down the road. Bankers from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming are included.
This survey represents an early snapshot of the economy of rural, agriculturally and energy-dependent portions of the nation. The Rural Mainstreet Index (RMI) is a unique index covering 10 regional states, focusing on approximately 200 rural communities with an average population of 1,300. It gives the most current real-time analysis of the rural economy. Goss and Bill McQuillan, president of CNB Community Bank of Greeley, Neb., created the monthly economic survey in 2005.
Colorado: For the 13th straight month, Colorados Rural Mainstreet Index (RMI) remained above 50.0 for the 13th straight month. The October RMI advanced to a healthy 59.1, a regional high, from Septembers 57.2. The farmland and ranchland price index fell to a still strong 65.1 from last months 67.7. Colorados hiring index for October expanded to 65.0 from Septembers 62.4.
Illinois: The RMI for Illinois advanced to 54.1 from Septembers 52.2. The RMI has now remained at or above growth neutral for 13 straight months. Farmland prices slumped to 43.1 from 46.2 in September. The states new-hiring index rose to 50.4 from Septembers 47.7. According to Jim Ashworth, vice chairman of CNB Bank & Trust in Carlinville, Grain crop yields are still being reported as good, although the corn did not dry down as far as desired due to a relatively cool growing season.
Iowa: The September RMI for Iowa climbed to 55.3 from Septembers 53.4. The farmland-price index for October fell to 50.6 from 53.2 in September. Iowas new-hiring index for October rose to 55.4 from Septembers 52.7. Kansas: The Kansas RMI for October rose to 53.6 from Septembers 51.7. The farmland-price index for October slipped to 45.7 from Septembers 48.2. The states new-hiring index increased to 52.1 from 49.4 in September. Dale Bradley, chairman of the Citizens State Bank in Miltonvale, typified some of the frustration with Washington saying, We need a good farm bill to be passed.
Minnesota: The October RMI for Minnesota expanded to 53.7 from 51.8 in September. Minnesotas farmland-price index rose to a weak 48.3 from Septembers 39.5. The new-hiring index expanded to 46.3 from Septembers 43.6. According to Pete Haddeland, CEO of First National Bank in Mahnomen, Crops look good but yields are down a little. Good harvest.
Missouri: The October RMI for Missouri declined to a still solid 55.4 from Septembers 56.8. The farmland-price index for October sank to 63.2 from Septembers 81.0. Missouris new-hiring index expanded to 73.9 from Septembers 71.3.
Nebraska: After moving below growth neutral for January, Nebraskas Rural Mainstreet Index has been above growth neutral for nine straight months. The October RMI increased to 54.9 from 53.0 in September. The farmland-price index for October dipped to 45.5 from Septembers 48.1. Nebraskas new-hiring index stood at 51.9, which was up from 49.3 in September. Bill McQuillan, president of CNB Community Bank in Greeley, said, The Early 2013 soybean harvest yields are 10 to 15% above historical averages. Local cattle prices continue to be very, very strong and positive for our local producers.
North Dakota: The North Dakota RMI for October advanced to 57.9 from 56.0 in September. The farmland-price index plummeted to 45.5 from 70.0 in September. North Dakotas new-hiring index grew to 66.6 from Septembers 63.9.
South Dakota: The October RMI for South Dakota sank to 48.7 from Septembers 55.7. The farmland-price index for the state for October was unchanged from Septembers 49.8. South Dakota's new-hiring index for October expanded to 54.8 from 52.2 in September. According to David Callies, CEO of Miner County Bank in Howard, Harvest is going well with yields about average. Government shut down continues to be a big problem.
Wyoming: The October RMI for Wyoming expanded to 55.1 from Septembers 53.2. The October farmland and ranchland price index slumped to 43.6 from 46.2 in September. Wyomings new-hiring index moved higher to 50.7 from Septembers 48.0.
Next months survey results will be released on the third Thursday of the month, Nov. 21.

On Sunday, 19th February, 2012 Palm Beach Polo Club held a 40-goal charity tournament: the Outback Challenge. For 11 years, all benefits from this tournament have been transferred to Polo Players Inc., a fund dedicated to support sick or injured polo players. Eight from the best players in the World participated to the 2012 edition.
To this occasion, Eduardo was playing with Facundo Pieres, Pelon Stirling and Gonzalo Pieres in a team called Equus&co. They took the lead rapidly, and kept their advantage until the end of the game. The opposing team could not respond to the impressive pace proposed by Equus&co. At the end of the day, Eduardo and his team had an advantage of two goals, winning by 11 to 9, after a thrilling game.
Long-time friend of Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, Eduardo Novillo Astrada was extremely happy: "That was such an incredible game! We always play against each other during the year and this was an opportunity to be and play together. We all had a lot of fun, and it is great to do it for a good cause. The crowd was very supportive as well; they cheered us all the way. It was a lot of fun!"
Currently playing in Florida for the spring season with his regular team Las Monjitas, Eduardo and the Novillo Astrada brotherhood will play the prestigious USPA Gold Cup beginning of March 2012.
Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultreA major player in watchmaking history since 1833, Jaeger-LeCoultre is the first Manufacture to have been established in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. It played a pioneering role by uniting the full range of technical and artistic professions under one roof and made an indelible imprint on the watchmaking development of the entire region. The Manufacture has an impressive range of world firsts, superlative creations and legendary models to its credit, including the Reverso, the Duoplan, the Master Control, the Memovox Polaris, the Gyrotourbillon and the Atmos. Guided by time-honored know-how and a constant quest for technical enhancements, the master-watchmakers, engineers and technicians craft each watch in harmony with the same passion. Each masterpiece, heir to 179 years of expertise, benefits from cutting-edge technologies while being crafted in harmony with the noblest traditions of the Vallée de Joux. Building on a vast heritage encompassing 1,231 calibres and 398 registered patents, Jaeger-LeCoultre remains the reference in high-end watchmaking.
Eduardo Novillo Astrada takes another major win in a prestigious 40-goal game in Palm Beach

"Starting from scratch never tasted so good" reads the poster for Chef and the tagline works to not only describe the movie's plot but of the career trajectory of writer-director-star Jon Favreau.
Having broken through in the 1996 indie hit Swingers, Favreau went on to direct blockbuster movies like Iron Man and, most recently, Cowboys & Aliens. With Chef, Favreau is returning to his indie roots, but bringing his blockbuster pals along for the ride as he plays Carl Casper, a chef who decides to reinvent himself by purchasing a food truck and uniting with his ex wife (Sofia Vergara) and son (Emjay Anthony). Also appearing are Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson.
"I was really excited to do something that was not part of a big committee and a big collaboration," Favreau recently admitted to The Hollywood Reporter. "It's about a character in transition in life, a person trying to find his voice and reconnect with his passions. So this was me seizing an opportunity to do something that was completely satisfying for me artistically, and I feel very lucky to have done it. It was really exciting to go back to my roots in independent film and face the challenges that I used to face with time and money — but not having to face the challenges of making a case for my creative vision in a roomful of people who all might have different opinions.
Was Favreau successful? See for yourself by clicking on Chef's first trailer below.

There is good news for travelers in East Carolina who head often to Raleigh. The DOT is building the next section of the bypass around Goldsboro.
The $104.4 million contract to Barnhill Contracting of Tarboro will build 12-1/2 miles of the four-lane divided highway from east of Wayne Memorial Drive to just inside Lenoir County. There will be no stoplights on this bypass.
It is expected to be completed in July 2015 and will join a 4-mile section that opened in December. The DOT says the final part of the Goldsboro bypass is scheduled to be awarded this summer. The entire 20-mile long project is expected to cost $246 million.

WASHINGTON – A 43-year-old woman has become the possible 14th victim of a serial groper who has plagued Fairfax County in recent months.
Fairfax county police say the woman was walking in the 6000 block of Hibbling Avenue at about 5:45 p.m. Thursday when a man grabbed her from behind. Police say the suspect – described as being between 20 and 30 years old and wearing a black jacket and black pants – fled when the woman turned and yelled at him.
The incident was the second suspected attack by the serial groper Thursday. Police say a 23-year-old woman was grabbed while walking on Floyd Avenue near Erving Street in Franconia at about 9 a.m.
The suspect in that incident was described as a Hispanic man, about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a close-cut beard. He was wearing faded green pants, a green jacket and a black knit cap.
Police say a 49-year-old woman also was groped earlier this week in Fairfax County.
The most recent assaults come less than a month after an 11th victim reportedly was fondled near the intersection of Amherst and Cumberland avenues in Franconia.
This story has been modified to change the suspect's described height in the second incident.

ATLANTA (AP) -- New numbers show that Georgia has seen a slight drop in the number of motorcycle fatalities.
The Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety reported that new data made available Wednesday shows that the state had slightly fewer deadly motorcycle wrecks in 2012 than during 2011.
The statistics show that the majority of motorcycle fatalities occurred in urban areas and in the foothills of the north Georgia mountains.
Authorities say Fulton County saw the greatest number of motorcyclist fatalities statewide.
Also, DeKalb County saw a significant increase in the number of motorcyclist fatalities from 2011 to 2012.

Dear Ari,
I am 40-something, live in Germany and I LOVE your blog! Thanks a lot for this wonderful idea!
Still, I have one wish. It would be wonderful to know how old your "models" are. I think this would be so inspiring for all readers, to learn that age is no limit for style. By now, we just know that those women must be something between 70-90 (???) but not how old each of them really is. I know, women don't like to talk about their age, but in this case it should be different. And it would be so good to show some of those pictures to your mum and say "hey look, this woman is 5 years older than you are, so of course you can wear this colorful scarf!" :-) Would that be possible to always add this information into your picture comments?
Thanks a lot in advance and again, thank you so much for this wonderful blog.

Carola looks killer decked out in that hat. Best hat I have ever seen. I just picked up your book and I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed looking at it.

I also absolutely love your blog! It brings a smile to my face every time I look at it. I am in my late forties and currently fretting over wrinkles and old age, but seeing these wonderful women here gives me courage and lets me embrace my own old age.

that's so great, that she's been inspired to branch out and take more risks :)
I hope that I will be like that when I'm older, fearless in my fashion, bold and independent.

Dutch women really are so stylish and this lady is no exception. She's got it all going on - coordinating her glasses and fabulous hat with her graphic jacket. Very cool.

Oh, I love very much all this ladies! I'm 79 y.o. now – but never have courage put on this kind of clothes. But perhaps...
with love

ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 8.4 percent in March, the lowest rate since December 2008.
That is down from 8.6 percent in February, and 9.1 percent in March a year ago.
The new numbers were released Thursday morning by the Georgia Department of Labor.
State labor officials say the rate declined because of an increase in the number of jobs and fewer new layoffs.
Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said Georgia employers created 23,700 jobs last month, which he called one of the best job growth numbers for March in nearly a decade.
He said the gains came in several industries, led by leisure and hospitality and professional and business services.
