|Not long ago, I released a video tutorial series about Landscape Photography at http://www.stuckincustoms.com/landscape-and-travel-photography-tutorial-new-zealand/ - I thought it would be fun to process a photo live on the air! The Landscape Tutorial is 40% off for a few more days, so that's a good deal. The page says $79, but it will ring up as $47 in the store. Time/Date: In the US, Sunday at 4 PM PT, 6 PM CST, 7 PM ET I'll invite a few people from the Stuck In Customs Community at https://plus.google.com/communities/114805630646077487810 to join in as well! :) I'll be watching all the questions that are happening live as well as taking live questions during the hangout. I'll probably edit some of my new photos from Dubai and Germany so you can get a sense of what I do. Anyway, this is a free event... just to give back... hope you enjoy it! :)

|Have you ever wondered how to get your photos picked up by ad agencies? How does a photographer get their foot in the door? These are questions many of us have thought about before, since photography (and ads) are everywhere we look. Well, SmugMug Pro @114056084994793924628 helped answer some of those question during a recent SmugMug podcast (bit.ly/ZsDwsb). But, we found, that the interest in this subject is off the charts, and the follow up questions for Alan have been coming in fast and furious. So Alan has volunteered to spend an hour answering nothing but your questions in a live, On Air Google Hangout! _Join SmugMug's Rocky Bowels and Michael Bonocore as they ask your questions to Alan Tuesday, June 11th at 9:00PM EST._ Have a question you would like us to ask Alan? Simply add it as a comment here, on this event. Alan will also do his best to respond to any questions we do not ask during the broadcast, right here in the Google+ event. So make sure to RSVP, and post your best question for Alan. We will even be giving away a year of SmugMug Portfolio to one lucky person who asks a question before the end of the live hangout. And yes, this will be recorded to view on our YouTube channel. #Photography #Advertising #Commercial #SmugMug #SmugMugPro

That's right, we want to have you involved by offering a challenge each show to download and process an image we provide during that show.

The winner of each week will be featured in a post on our "Photoshop and Lightroom users" Community page as well as announced on the event thread and in our streams. If this is half as awesome as I know it will be, then we hope to be wrangling up some prizes to be awarded as well.

|*Micro Four Thirds Cameras* - A special Hangout event! *Trey's Variety Hour #56* - subscribe for free on www.YouTube.com/stuckincustoms We'll have on @103519655975029093996 to talk A LOT about these cameras and what they're all about. Even my producer for the show @114092052797730247075 is getting one of these cameras! We're putting together a few other guests right now too... I think "Micro Four Thirds" might just be the *worst name ever* for a class of cameras. But after you get over that hopelessly confusing fractional name, you may find this is a light, quick, mobile system that will fit your lifestyle. No more carrying around giant iron and lenses to take good photos needed! #1 Question We Get: How Can I Be on the Show!?!?!? Answer: Contact @114092052797730247075 - he is the gatekeeper for all-things.

|*POST YOUR GOOGLE+ ALBUM OF PICTURES* It's been very very popular event in the past and I'm finally doing it again tonight. _This time it will be more organized, more heads up than usual and even a live event._ *SHARE AN ALBUM/GALLERY LINK* It's simple and easy but a lot of work and very fun for all. You simply share an album here and I'll be going through every single one of the albums. Then I will +1 the pictures in the album that I'm really drawn to. *BENEFIT* Well it's simply if you'd love to know which pictures I like most. I always loved knowing which pictures people really love of mine because it helps me have an eye for which pictures are best received. It's a huge part of becoming a better photographer in my opinion. _*To be able to put out great art is first to know what great art looks like*_ *ON AIR* This will be something new... I'm going to go through all the albums Live, Online as an On-Air hangout. I'll talk a little bit about what I'm doing. If the show goes well I'll keep it for later viewing on YouTube... if the recording isn't great I won't. *SPECIAL GUEST* Because I want to have an outloud conversation about what and why I'm doing things I will have my good friend and great photographer @109486822103622036238 on the show to facilitate the discussion. She will also visit a lot of these albums and +1 pictures as well. We ask that everyone add her to a circle ... not just because she's awesome (though that's reason enough) but so that if any of these albums are by mistake limited access she will have access. *DIRECTIONS* 1. Paste a link of a Google+ image gallery 2. Put a title or description of what we'll see in the album 3. *IMPORTANT* If you post a link you hereby give us permission to use a screenshare view of all those pictures and perhaps your profile in a recorded Youtube video. 4. Make sure the album is Public access 5. Add @100962871525684315897 @109486822103622036238 to your circles 6. Return the favor. Take some of the other people's albums and +1 some of your favorites. *IMPORTANT* It bears repeating: _If you post a link you hereby give us permission to use a screenshare view of all those pictures and your profile (maybe) in a recorded Youtube video._ Do not post a link if you are not ok with lots of people visiting that link in addition to us and are not ok with it being on video as well.

|Please accept my apologies if your one of the few that got hit by a bug in their system! This is my first event and for some reason Google notified some people 20 times and for some their system was planning on doing that within their calendars for the next 5 years...every single day...20 times a day...how it did or why it would set peoples calendars up to be notified 20 times a day...I don't know. Hopefully they've got it corrected, if not please let me know. I know I wanted to help peoples wishes come true but not in that way, The goal of this event my Birthday is give you as many of my Birthday Wishes as you require...why because you deserve it. My wish is here is to connect you to the thoughts/ the energy of thousands of people around the world all making a Birthday Wish for themselves from the heart... to you. I like to Imagine the energy from all those making a wish and the energy coming from the ones that come true(the smiles..the laughter..the tears...the overflowing of pure joy) being connected to you to power your own wish to come true. Thanks to some theories about Quantum Physics there's no space between you or me or them...topped with the fact they tell us energy is never destroyed, it's gotta go somewhere as each new person joins in, so why not to you to empower your wish to come true sooner rather than later. Imagine being connected to thousands....millions of others all making wishes...all hoping that your wish comes true for it will help empower their wish. They've documented several cases of where positive thoughts have made a difference, so why not around someones birthday who can then share it with everyone whose connected to that person...so me for this event. It's never been done before, so why not now....be part of it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain as we go day by day, year by year building this community of wish granters. Now think of an image that represents your wish and then take2seconds to think of that image at least once a day until it comes true. Have fun with it, there's no right or wrong way when you come from the heart. Please let us know as each wish comes true...yes each wish...there's no law that says you're only granted one wish...you deserve everyone of them when they come from the heart..when that wish fills you with the passion for life... *****UPDATE at first I was focused on getting as many people as possible for this so that everyone had more energy but now after reading your comments..hearing your passion for life...the numbers have gone completely out the window for each one of you have brought your own unique energy to the equation that's priceless....THANK YOU In my world Birthday wishes can be made everyday of the year because it's a celebration everyday that your here to share this with. So today I Celebrate being 44 and 1 day old.

When her daughter turned 2 she started a parenting blog at Who's the Mummy, (ranked the UK's #1 parenting blog by Cision.)

Good Morning, Cheetahs
Just a little homage to one of our world's beautiful creatures.
The cheetah is considered "Threatened" (given the status of "Vulnerable" by the IUCN [International Union for Conservation of Nature]) due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, illegal pet trade, poaching, loss of prey and the high mortality rate of cheetah cubs."They are extinct in 20 countries and occupy only 17% of their historical range." [Dr. Femke Broekhuis, Project Director of the Mara Cheetah Project] The Asiatic cheetah is extinct from India and only exist in Iran, but fortunately there are efforts being made to save them: http://thewildlife.wbur.org/2016/03/24/saving-the-desert-cheetahs-of-iran/

A Little Bokeh Fairytale
Once upon a time there were two small specks, that lived out in the Dark, Empty Corners of the World. They were such sad and lonely little specks.
Over in the spacious Rest of the World, the Creative One enjoyed her fun, playing with the light that she gathered in her magic black box, but she wished for someone to share her joy of the light with.
One day, playing as usual under her favorite tree, she heard a small whimper coming from one of the Dark, Empty Corners of the World. She pointed her magic black box in the direction of the sound to shine the light and try to see who it was coming from.
The little specks saw the light created by the magic black box and, it was so beautiful and delicious looking, they started gobbling it up as quickly as they could. The more they ate, the more they grew. They grew and grew and grew and... more »

Friend or Foe? ... or food?!
This baby tiger didn't quite know what to make of the crayfish wandering around at the bottom of his pond. It was so funny to watch 7-month-old Suka react to this little critter; going in and out of the water and snarling at it, but not approaching it too closely. He is so much larger than the crayfish, it made me wonder if he got nipped once by its front pincer to cause his hostility and trepidation.
*Depiction of the actual event, as I had to shoot several frames to get all the elements in focus for this final image.

"Hey, weren't there like 20 more of our pals here just a moment ago?!!"
They thought it was paradise. They flocked to it in … um, well … flocks. Not a human being in sight. It was all theirs!!
Until the day the typically unobservant #seagullbutts realized why the humans called this place "Grand Caiman Island". (View large, if the reason for that isn't quite apparent in the thumbnail here .... ;o))

Earth Day 2016 - My planet. My part.
I love my home.
So often we feel that the idea of trying to change the circumstances of our world is too overwhelming. What can one person do, really?! Take some time to find the beauty in your own neighborhood. It's a fact that the more we appreciate something, the more we want to take care of it. No one who destroys their environment is really lazy or disinterested in caring for it; they only need to learn to love it more. If you want to help the Earth, start locally. Help others to cultivate their gratitude for what they have to amplify their desire to keep it from harm.
We are a group of members of Google+ Create, a Google program for recognizing creative users of Google+. This year we are celebrating Earth Day with this small, symbolic art project with the theme: Earth Day 2016 - My planet. My part. #... more »

Up Above the World So High
... like a raptor in the sky.
I snapped this fellow during my balloon ride above Safari Park (https://plus.google.com/+RobinGriggsWood/posts/7LVbDHgzisW). He was soaring along with us (maybe he likes balloons ... or maybe he wanted to attack us ... ;o)).
It was nice to have the opportunity to shoot at eye level to their flight, and see the top of the bird instead ... ;o)). Just a #RaptorButtSaturday click for #SeagullButtsInDisguise . I mean, if you were a seagull, wouldn't you want to wear a raptor costume?! ... ;oD

+Leo Deegan ... I think the Google spam-killers have gone crazy-mad with power and are out of control ... ;o7.
While I have the screenshot up, if you have the ear of one of the UI developers, there's this phrase at the top that says "Only you can see comments that were removed as spam." ... only, we can't see them here ... unless "you" is 15 and doesn't require a prescription to improve visual capabilities ... ;oD. They are the palest of gray and crossed out! How are we supposed to see them?! I had to click on your profile pic just to make sure it was actually you that Google had singled out in their war against spam... ;o)))

Baby Tiger
I had the joy to go shooting with +Jenny Loren, +Sassi Sassmannshausen and Paula Contreres (+Art through the Aperture Photography) yesterday. And, through the immense patience of Jenny, we got the opportunity to see the Sumatran tiger cub! (She just kept saying, "I know he'll come out here" ... thanks, Jenny!)
"The cub is the 26th endangered Sumatran tiger born at the Safari Park, and he is the first cub to be hand-raised at the Park since 1984. With the addition of this tiny cub, the Safari Park is now home to seven Sumatran Tigers. There are fewer than 350 Sumatran Tigers in the wild, and that number continues to drop. Scientists estimate that this species could be extinct in its native Sumatra by 2020, unless measures are taken to protect and preserve it.

How much truth to the "terrible twos" is there?
DD is almost 16 months and has begun to hit, bite, and throw horrific tantrums when she doesn't get her way. I know she's not anywhere near being 2, but I have no idea where this behavior came from. Majority of the time, she's a VERY well behaved kiddo. She explores a lot and is very active, but a very good toddler. The times when she hits, etc, are times like:
1. she wants a snack and we dont get it as quickly as she would like, or we dont get her the snack that she wants.
2. she is throwing things or making a mess and we tell her to stop.
3. we are getting her ready for bed and she is fighting her sleep.
Last night, I was trying to get her to go to sleep, and she kept squirming so I held her in my arms really tightly, hoping that it would tire her out and she'd fall asleep, but she started pinching my arm and then smacked me in the eye.
She's been through a lot lately. She's had an ear infection for the last 2 months (that we're still working on getting rid of), the whole crap between me and DH, and then we're working on taking the paci away(she's a 24/7 paci sucker). Is this just a phase or is there something I can do to discipline her? I want her to know that what she's doing is not okay, but i have no idea what a proper "punishment" would be for a 16 month old. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Richard was bitten by a ferret in 1977 whilst being interviewed for a TV programme, this brought him early fame and the nickname 'Ferret Man'.
The 2006 series winner of Countdown was handed a Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy and it is believed that this will be an ongoing tradition.
At the time of his death in 2005, it was believed that he clocked more hours on British television than anyone else alive.
Richard wrote an autobiography entitled 'Him off: The Memoirs of a TV Matinee Idle' in 2001, then in 2005 his wife wrote one in his memory 'Richard by Kathryn'.
He was the very first person to appear on Channel 4.
Richard clocked up over 10,000 TV appearances.
Countdown was supposed to be a short-term project, but 23 years later it is still going strong.
Richard Whiteley: As the countdown on a new channel ends, a brand-new Countdown begins.
(On Carol Vorderman receiving her MBE)
Richard Whiteley: She's got two consonants and a vowel, I've got two vowels and a consonant, but vowels are more useful.
Richard Whiteley: I'm not a natural quiz show host. If I had to apply for my own job today, I wouldn't get it.
Richard Whiteley: and welcome to the good ship Countdown.
Richard Whiteley: It's a date - that'll be great!
Richard Whiteley: We don't like too much change on Countdown.

For a basic green living project with benefits to your wallet and the environment, consider revamping the kitchen pantry. The cupboard is the starting point for most kitchen activity and is more than just a storage space. Develop good buying habits and build a strong foundation and you can avoid the waste of food and money. Here's how to tackle the task at once or little by little.
Everyone wants an immaculate home, but not everyone wants to spend their free time scrubbing and straightening. The reality revealed in a recent Good Housekeeping magazine study is that the average homeowner spends roughly 19 hours a week cleaning.
Terry, please answer this question for me: Why shouldn't I just walk away from my mortgage?
DEAR BENNY: If damage to an individual unit is from a common-area element and was caused by negligence, and the condo documents as I understand them state that the damage to the unit involved is the responsibility of the condominium owners association, should that not then be covered by the master policy? Also, what is an HO-6 policy? --Lois
The holiday season doesn't have to always involve the same old, same old when it comes to decorating your home.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages ticked up from record lows last week. Cheaper mortgages are fueling a modest housing recovery that could help the broader economy.
NEW YORK (AP) - U.S. foreclosure filings dropped to a five-year low in September as fewer homes were on track to be seized by lenders.
From cooking to entertaining, the kitchen - always the heart of the home - now takes center stage as the 21st century hub of the home. As families spend more time in their homes, today's "command central" kitchen needs to be multi-functional and high-definition with easy-to-maintain surfaces dedicated to cooking, working, Web surfing and blogging, paying bills and doing homework, as well as creating a comfortable environment to entertain with family and friends.
I have a carport.
When it comes to selling your home, curb appeal means everything. And nothing makes a worse initial impression than exterior trim that is peeling, cracked, rotted or falling apart. Replacing old or damaged exterior trim is a great way to freshen up your home today and make it stand out among others tomorrow.
DEAR BENNY: My husband and I own a condo in a seven-unit condo association. We have owned the unit since 2005. Recently, one of the unit owners asked us if we were interested in buying his unit. We made an offer and he accepted it. After the sale and purchase agreement was signed, the seller of that unit sent an email to everyone in our association that he was happy to announce that we are buying another unit in the building.
Boomers expect to stay in their homes and live independently into their later years, but in the midst of change that is occurring in their households, it's easy for them to lose focus on planning for their own future housing needs.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A measure of U.S. home prices jumped 4.6 percent in August compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year increase in more than six years.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell to fresh record lows for the second straight week. The declines have led more homeowners to refinance, a trend that could help jumpstart the economy.
Americans have learned a tough lesson: Your home is not your piggy bank. However, there is a reward for those who did build equity in their homes: In their senior years, their home can provide a monthly stream of tax-free income, or a lump sum of cash to spend as they wish, while remaining safely in their home. Or it can provide a source of financing for a new, smaller home.

Tech toys that make you feel cooler than Marty McFly were in abundance at the North American International Toy Fair this week, such as robots that imitate your movements and a Segway-like device that tracks your thoughts. But not all of the toys at the Jacob K. Javits Center were reminiscent of what Captain Kirk probably played with as a child. There were also some stellar construction sets, high-quality hand puppets, and wooden toys that make you say, "wow." Classic play is not dead, and not all quality toys require a microchip. Some of the most innovative new products for kids feature little to no tech at all. Here are our favorite low-tech new toys from Toy Fair: [Read more...]

Tomy Sets Guinness World Record for Tallest Toy Train Track
Tomy, the maker of the Chuggington StackTrack Railway System, set a Guinness World Records title for Tallest Toy Train Track on Saturday. The record-setting train track, constructed with Chuggington StackTrack—a durable die-cast railway system that enables kids to build vertical toy train layouts—towered 17 feet 4 inches tall. In order to set the Guinness World Records title for World's Tallest Toy Train Track, Tomy Master Builder Jason Moreno and his helpers needed to construct a layout utilizing the Chuggington StackTrack die-cast railway track that met or exceeded 9 feet 8 inches in height, and a commercially available Chuggington StackTrack die-cast railway train had to travel from the top of the track all the way down to the bottom. Hundreds of kids and their families watched in anticipation and were delighted as the engine completed its journey down the spiraling StackTrack tower.
Moreno constructed the larger-than-life toy train layout as part of the Grand Centennial Parade of Trains in Vanderbilt Hall in New York City's Grand Central Terminal. The building began at 8:00 a.m. and was completed at 1:00 p.m., in time for the Guinness World Records adjudicator to authenticate the record-setting event and present the certificate to a delighted Tomy crew.

Not sure.
You didn't get the prompt in command+s? bad sign.
I'd say file system corruption/bad hd.
backup asap.
You can run disk utitliy from the other machine.
Did you try safe boot? Hold down the shift key then power on.
Start with your computer power off. Hold down command-s. Power on your computer.
Type in the following:
The first two commands will depend on your release of Mac OS X. Look at what is typed out in the console to determine the exact format.

Verify/fix a disk
From your other comptuer, you can verify/fix that the filesystem on the disk is correct.
I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Start up disk utility. On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.
Click on your other disk.
Click on the First Aid Tab.
Click on verify/fix.
if ok, verify permissions ( not the problem for command + s )
Hopefully your disk will verify. If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.

Very nice work! It would be great to see this model here in full 3d - you could upload it to Sketchfab, and then embed it in full 3D in your journal here on DA: sketchfab-3d.deviantart.com/jo….
holy molly that's amazing!
lol faved this and showed some friends but they were clueless to h who he was so had to piont them to his wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porco_Ro…
Reminds me of the bad guys from Blinx, A game on the original Xbox that no one has heard of :c
Reminds me of the pilots from Suicide Survival.
Seriously thought this was a figurine.
And now I want one

Very nice work ^_^
I just watched the movie this past weekend. This is just amazing!Along with the head too. I truly admire your work.
This is probably a very, VERY big question, but how difficult would it be to animate something while preserving the quality and detail of the piece?
Like several times more difficult than just to create a still image like this. Rigging, believable animation, cloth simulation. Even 10 seconds would be tons of work.
20 years ago, almost to the day, I saw my first Studio Ghibli film... Porco Rosso. I had just entered college and was at local anime clubs first meeting of the year. I have been hooked on anime ever since, and dear Porco has stayed as my all time favorite Ghibli flick of all time as well.
You have done a phenomenal job here, love it!
You have done a phenomenal job here, love it!
Thanks! I remember when I was in anime club too. Back then we hadn't got the Internet and there were no shops to buy anime or manga. So we exchanged CDs. Some people had thousands of items to exchange xD
WHAT WAS THIS MOVIE EVEN ABOUT! I've watched it like 3 time and I still don't get it. WHY IS HE A PIG?
whoa wait, THIS ISN'T A FIGURINE??? //dies
That is nothing short of absolutely incredible.
This is so good, I can't even handle it. Incredible!!
Great stuff! I was just going through the Ghibli catalogue and this will be my next.
So wonderful! One of my favorite Ghibli films. I thought this was a sculpture at first!
Awesome job! I also like the Darth Vader drink you added too
Thanks! Yeah, I like how this animation is a little bit different from others. Simple story almost without mystical elements and the main character is not a child.
this is awesome man! flawless work!
Looks great! Amazing textures!
I thought this was a figurine. This is really cool. c:
thats epic gotta love rosso
What fantastic work.. You are the man!

Enough storage. Would be cool if the pack had a bottle net and chest straps. Dakine makes really good items prob think about getting a different pack.
here is what the Birch color looks like, more green than the product photo.
It's a backpack
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I bought the green blocks and black/black colors and they look awesome. There's ample space for tons of textbooks, laptop, and are comfortable when adjusted right. My only problem is the extra length of the straps rubbing against my arms uncomfortably (since they're too long to leave dangling).
I was wondering if the "DAKINE Daytripper Backpack - 1880cu in" comes with a chest strap?
Can a 17.3 in laptop fit?
Hey Arminda,
Unfortunately the designated laptop sleeve cannot fit a 17.3 inch laptop.
I was wondering if these backpacks come with a chest strap?

Counter-Strike is a modification (MOD) to the excellent game, Half-Life. It modifies the multiplayer aspects of Half-Life to bring to it a more team-oriented gameplay. Counter-Strike provides the player with an experience that a trained counter-terrorist unit or terrorist unit experiences. The MOD is team-based featuring one team playing the role of the terrorist and the other team playing the role of the counter-terrorist. Each side has access to different guns and equipment, as well as different abilities. Maps have different goals such as: hostage rescue, assassination, bomb defusion, Terrorist escape, etc. Weapons include the usual assortment of pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, grenades, demolition devices. Each side has access to a different subset of weapons so for example only the counter-terrorist can use the M4A1, and only the terrorists can use the AK-47. We are confident that we've created a MOD quite unlike any other.
Counter-Strike version 1.4, for Half-Life Retail. WON network. Use the WON2 patch for multiplayer. All rights go to Valve.
This version of Counter-Strike was the second-to-last CS version for WON. It was made to update the previous CS 1.3 version, and was superseded by CS 1.5. It is considered by many to be the best version of Counter-Strike.
wtf is the point of this? no one even uses WON any more cus everyone is on steam so wtf and why upload an old version of cs when the latest hl retail version is 1.6 u P3/\/15 5uck3r!
"cus everyone is on steam"
O RLY? I don't think so.

Who hasn't fallen in love with Venice, at least once in their life? The city that inspires titillates and amazes all and sundry, is a place you can holiday at anytime and every time. With its unfathomable magnetic pull, millions book their flight tickets for cheap to Venice and get set to have an adventure they aren't likely to easily forget. If you too are up for romancing Venice or letting it romance you this holiday season (and have already booked flights to Venice at incredibly low fares) then read on to get some really handy travel tips!
When to Go
Venice is a city that can be enjoyed in pristine silence or amidst the most thunderous cacophony you have ever heard. If you need a casual, easy and free vibe to your stay, then book your cheap flights to Venice from October to March. December to March is the rainy season and the months of January and February are fiercely cold. But despite such climate too, tourists flock the city and can be found spilling out of piazzas.
If you have plans of being in the city of Venice during any of its famous festivals, then book your accommodation well in advance as getting decent lodging at that time can prove to be a difficult task.
What to Pack
Packing for Venice all depends on the month you choose. Raincoats and umbrellas will make your life easier during the rainy season and a light jacket is perfect during then. For severe winters, carry along warmer jackets and coats. Summers here can get really humid, so bring light and loose, preferably flowing garments (for women) for then.
Smart Travel tips
Since it is a well-established fact that Venice is perpetually teeming with visitors, you have to ensure that you act smart and make the most of your time. If visiting the city for a few days, then if you can help it, plan your trip for weekdays and not weekends. Also to enjoy the stunning sights and trips to basilica etc, beat the 'visitor traffic' by getting up early, well before breakfast, to be at these sights. To save on time you should try negotiating the city on foot; but if too tired then definitely make use of the water buses.
Deals and Discounts
Like any other city, Venice too doles out various deals and discount cards. You just have to ensure that you pick the one that suits your needs the best. The best way to get these cards is online. The different cards available here are Venice Connected, Museum Pass, VENICEcard and Museums of San Marco Pass.
For entry to museums, the EUR 18 Museum Pass will hold you in good stead as it provides entry to over 10 amazing city museums. But if you want to visit museums on the piazza, then the other museum card is what you will need.

The animal kingdom operates by ancient rules, and the deer in our woods and backyards can teach us many of thembut only if we take the time to notice.
In the fall of 2007 in southern New Hampshire, the acorn crop failed and the animals who depended on it faced starvation. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas began leaving food in small piles around her farmhouse. Soon she had over thirty deer coming to her fields, and her naturalist's eye was riveted. How did they know when to come, all together, and why did they sometimes cooperate, sometimes compete?
Throughout the next twelve months she observed the local deer families as they fought through a rough winter; bred fawns in the spring; fended off coyotes, a bobcat, a bear, and plenty of hunters; and made it to the next fall when the acorn crop was back to normal. As she hiked through her woods, spotting tree rubbings, deer beds, and deer yards, she discovered a vast hidden world. Deer families are run by their mothers. Local families arrange into a hierarchy. They adopt orphans; they occasionally reject a child; they use complex warnings to signal danger; they mark their territories; they master local microclimates to choose their beds; they send countless coded messages that we can read, if only we know what to look for.
Just as she did in her beloved books The Hidden Life of Dogs and Tribe of Tiger, Thomas describes a network of rules that have allowed earth's species to coexist for millions of years. Most of us have lost touch with these rules, yet they are a deep part of us, from our ancient evolutionary past. The Hidden Life of Deer is a narrative masterpiece and a naturalist's delight.

One of the most widely read American anthropologists, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has observed dogs, cats, and elephants during her half-century-long career. In the 1980s Thomas studied elephants alongside Katy Payne—the scientist who discovered elephants' communication via infrasound. In 1993 Thomas wrote The Hidden Life of Dogs, a groundbreaking work of animal psychology that spent nearly a year on the New York Times bestseller list. Her book on cats, Tribe of Tiger, was also an international bestseller. She lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire, on her family's former farm, where she observes deer, bobcats, bear, and many other species of wildlife.

Story updated with leader photos
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Ask anyone at Occupy Wall Street and they will tell you there are no leaders. Clearly, though, some people in the movement are more influential, have made more of a commitment and are more visible than others. TheStreet spent some time in Zuccotti Park, as well as some additional research, and did its best to identify a few of them.
