"What the hell?"
The bus lurched to a stop, passengers scrambling over each other to press their faces against the grimy windows. Sweat dripped from my forehead as the fickle breeze disappeared, while loud voices competed with distorted hip-hop from a dozen mobile phones.
In my exhausted state I could understand little of the heavily-accented Creole, but eventually a single word started to make itself heard over and over again.
A few people snapped photos on their phone as the bus eventually started to move, police waving the traffic on past what looked like a bundle of clothes in the middle of the road. Drawing closer, I realised that what I'd thought was discarded clothing was nothing of the sort.
The body of a man lay face-up on the highway, the broken remains of a motorbike scattered up and down the road. Thick, dark blood lay pooled around his head and body, baking in the heat of a tropical morning. The white towel over his face explained why I couldn't hear the wail of an approaching siren.
There would be no point calling this man an ambulance.
The murmurs from other passengers increased in volume as we passed, that single word being passed around like a football once again.
Dead.Continue Reading →
For someone with a history degree, I really didn't know much about the Mayans before I arrived in Mexico. I mean, it's not like they'd exactly had a huge impact on my home country of New Zealand – but you could say the same about the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, and god knows I spent enough time studying the minutiae of what they got up to.
I was vaguely aware of a few stereotypes – ball games, fondness for animal and human sacrifice, a well-known calendar – but knew little detail. The few pictures I'd seen of Mayan pyramids didn't seem that impressive compared to those that housed the pharaohs, and all in all, I just didn't expect to be particularly wowed by the historical sites on the Yucatan peninsula.
And then, well, I went to them.Continue Reading →
Mexico gets a bad rap, especially from the news media. As I discovered during six months in the country, however, it's almost entirely undeserved.Continue Reading →

"Please come this way."
The young immigration officer ushered me towards an open door, his immaculately-polished shoes squeaking slightly on the waxed airport floor.
"Is there a problem?" I asked, as innocently as possible.
"Maybe. Maybe not." The officer's face gave nothing away, but I already suspected that my afternoon was about to get a whole lot worse.
A few minutes later, it did.Continue Reading →
As you may have noticed, things have been a bit quiet around here lately.
I mean, it's not like I hold myself to a rigorous posting schedule these days, but even for me, two posts and a couple of photos in a month is pretty lax. The good thing, I guess, is that I have an excuse… and for a change, it's a pretty decent one.
You see, even though I've been living a few hundred metres from the Caribbean Sea for the last month and dining on delicious street food every day (tacos de arrachera and tortas de cochinita pibil have changed my life), I've been spending all day, every day in my apartment or hunched over my laptop in a local coffee shop.
Why, you may rightly ask? Why on earth would I inflict such punishment on myself?
Well, you see, it's because I've been writing a book.Continue Reading →
Last weekend a few of us rented a car here in Playa del Carmen and headed down the highway to the ruined Mayan city of Coba, about 90 minutes away. Only a few sections have been cleared from the jungle, but it's estimated that the city limits stretched as much as eighty or ninety square kilometres.
While there are what seems like thousands of cycles available to rent (and dozens of persistent tour guides and cycle taxi drivers), we opted to walk around the ruins instead. The key, as always, was getting there just after opening time when the crowds were fewer, the temperatures cooler and the entire experience far more enjoyable than later in the day.Continue Reading →
As you may be aware, I rarely post guest posts on this site.

BEDFORD — After finishing the front nine at the Hoosier Hills Conference boys golf championships at Otis Park Golf Course, Columbus East boys golf coach Tom LaBarbera simply called his team's performance a struggle.
But as East realized on the back nine, the more relaxed they were, the better they would perform.
The Olympians shot 329 to finish fourth. Madison claimed the title at 312, while Floyd Central finished second at 315 and host Bedford North Lawrence took third at 316.
After shooting 172 on the front nine, the Olympians collectively improved for a 152 on the final nine.
"We knew after the front nine, we were too far behind," LaBarbera said. "I told the guys to stay relaxed, and come out at the back nine and stay focused and finish strong."
LaBarbera said the team struggled with the environment.
"They struggled with the uneven terrain," LaBarbera said. "We weren't connecting on the tough shots, and we struggled to get the ball on the green."
Adam Krebs shot the team low for the Olympians with a 79.
"Once I got a birdie on the 12th hole, I felt more relaxed," Krebs said. "I just had too many up and down moments and was too aggressive at points to get the ball on the green."
Krebs said he had to find a way to recoup after a 41 on the front.
"I had points where the ball would roll off the green," Krebs said. "Just when you feel like you are gaining momentum on a shot, it will change by the next hole if you aren't careful."
East's Chris Jurrema carded a 82. Will Mayhew scored an 83, Zach Sutton shot 85 and Austin Proffitt had an 87. Mayhew, who played for the first time at the course, said he knows what he needs to do.
"I need to be more accurate with my approaches to the green, and work on my putting a little more," Mayhew said. "We all struggled on the front nine. Luckily I was able to come back hard on the back nine and put up a decent score."
LaBarbera said the team's confidence needs to build with short time before the sectional.
"They know they could've done better," LaBarbera said. "They have to learn to deal with the pressure of a big tournament such as this. Once they get more relaxed with this type of environment, they are going to be fine."
Seymour finished sixth with a 347. Dustin Ruddick led the Owls with an 80, while Brady Marshall shot 86, Ethan Ashley 88, Jordan Jones 93 and Zach Quillen 95.
"Our team is going in the right direction," Ruddick said. "We have had some ups and downs this year, but we are starting to feel confidence with every meet."
Jennings County finished seventh with a 351. Jake Simmons led the Panthers with an 82, while Garrett Day shot 86, Tyler Gerkin 90, Ian Donnell 93 and Bailey Wilder 94.
"We know that this course is always tough, but we are familiar with it. We need to learn to be more consistent with our playing," Jennings coach Gary Yeager said.

*please dont take offense if you are a cig smoker, absolutely no judgment ment, i just love my husband and dont want him to cut his life short smoking cigarettes im sure any loved one feels that way
Suspected cigarette smoking
*please dont take offense if you are a cig smoker, absolutely no judgment ment, i just love my husband and dont want him to cut his life short smoking cigarettes im sure any loved one feels that way
Cigarettes are so frickin dirty. I hate em. Annnnnd I also sneak around and smoke them.... Ugh. I hate dry smokey moms, so I feel like if i hide them somehow I can stay in denial like I'm not really doing it. Classical addictive behavior...
I don't know about riding his ass... I rode my SO's ass, until I just gave up and joined him. But, that shit really stinks to a non smoker! It's BAD.
But the lying business, that's another issue. That's addictive behavior too. I'd do some more quiet sleuthing.
But, he's my BF of three months, this is your husband and father of your offspring, I can see why the situation is different. I feel less inclined in a relatively new relationship to have the right to tell him what to do. And, he didn't lie about it.
I'm almost inclined to say that the lying would make me more angry than the smoking itself.
I don't know the answer, but I see why you are unhappy.
Sorry my answer was all over the map. Lol... I'm just one of those denying, sneaking, smoking (yet non-smoking,) lying to myself, smokers.
And while I don't think you'll get far asking, I don't think it's asking too much to want him to stop. I go through the same struggle with my mom. When I badger her she just blows up about see how I'm stressing her out and making her smoke (like I'm not used to that from dating a dope fiend). So I usually just keep my mouth shut since she does let me live here with Nate and doesn't smoke in the house, but like today she starts saying that Nate is rubbing his nose bc the toy I gave him was dusty.. UMMM NO it's bc you just stuck your face next to him and you stink like smoke! Whoa, ok, rant over.. I feel your pain!
I agree with others that core issue is lying as that is relapse behavior and obviously a cause for concern. My AH smokes, however, I have limits so he never smokes in front of kids or my car. I was a smoker and do NOT becasue I am all or nothing and last time I picked up a cigarette when I was pregnant with my second I had a really hard time stopping. Hugs to you on this journey.
The thing is he doesnt smell like cigarettes. I have just found cig ash in the car, once he smelled like cigs (he said it was from talking w ppl outside meetings) and i found matches in the car. He carpools w guys from work who smoke that was his excuse for the cigs im the car. He is swearing on his grave that he is not a smoker. This is so confusing! I guess im just going to have to go al anon on him and try to move on and not harp on it. Ill Bring it up with our counselor at outpatient. I dont want to go overboard with this but i also dont want to turn a blind eye to this and have a repeat of when i learned about his addiction (i was completely shocked had no clue he was addicted to pain killers spending a ton of money, stealing, lost his job etc).
Its mostly about him lying but also about his health. Im very health minded and it scares the crap out of me to accept him smoking and putting himself at risk for so many health problems. We are two young, healthy people who have a beautiful daughter and everything going for us if we dont have substances bringing us down.
I have sucha difficult time trusting anything and so many things eset off an almost PYSD response. I always tell me AH it stinks for him too becasue even when he is being honest and even when he is doing the right things I stil respond as if he is actively drinking. I have started attending alanon and hope to get some tools so that his behaviors and what has happened in the past do not have such an overhwelming affect on my daily functioning. Although we do NOT typically fight I have thi sinetrnal struggle that will estroy me trying to not react to things. In so many ways him being an alcoholic has taken away his ability to be human because any stray from what I would want to see as recovery scares me....Be good to you!

Poet/punk rocker/legend Patti Smith is coming to Benaroya Hall on Jan. 25 to read from her new memoir, Just Kids, about her life and relationship with the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. In the book, Smith talks about writing poetry for the Stones' Brian Jones after his death, and makes numerous references to the importance and impact of Coltrane's music, and his death in 1967. I'll post the rest of the interview on Monday, but I wanted to share this bit now while it's fresh.
John Coltrane
You speak well and repeatedly of Contrane's records from the '60s in Just Kids. Do they possess something that today's records do not?
Well, I feel like Coltrane, of course he was an innovator and invented a whole style and a way of improvisation that we all draw from now. But I think the most interesting thing about Coltrane -- besides his tone and his sense of improvisation -- was his deep spiritual center. You really felt his relationship with God in his playing.
You can listen to a virtuoso, you might think "Wow, that person plays really great," but Coltrane has a different dimension. He brought God into his playing. I always feel that when I hear him. There's nobody like Coltrane.Do you still listen to the Rolling Stones?
Not as much as I used to. If I'm somewhere and hear a Rolling Sones song come over the radio, it's still exciting. I don't sit around listening to them. I listen to a lot of opera records. A lot of Glenn Gould. If I'm in a car, and the Rolling Stones, you know -- "Gimmie Shelter" or "Under My Thumb," and something comes on and it's "19th Nervous Breakdown" -- it's still exciting.
You speak of Brian Jones very lovingly. Did you lose interest after Brian Jones' death?
They never seemed exactly the same. But they wrote a lot of great songs after Brian Jones' death. So, I continued to, you know, feel loyalty to the Stones. Mick Jagger is a great performer, and Keith Richards, and Charlie Watts a great drummer. Maybe I didn't have the same youthful affection. Maybe I didn't have the same adolescent crush. But they're great. Their music is great. And they've written some of the greatest rock and roll songs ever. I greatly appreciate them.

Road to Morocco Review
"Funny Early "Road" Film With Hope & Crosby!"
October 10th, 2012
1942 and the boys Bing Crosby and Bob Hope continue their comedy films! Much of the film is unrealistic and at times makes fun of itself but that's what is so charming and silly about this film. "Moonlight Becomes You" is featured. The film won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay!
The film starts with a large explosion of a ship. Then we see several foreign correspondents talking into large microphones in their own language (at least it might be -- Hollywood at this time did not portray foreign languages in appropriate ways -- who would know?). The Chinese correspondent had a badge on him that said 'I am Chinese', the Russian one had a picture of Stalin in the background, things like that. Quite silly.
Amazingly no one gets killed in this horrific explosion, caused by Bob smoking in the Powder Room. Oops. Just when Bing is considering eating Bob for dinner, they discover land. Morocco! Land of Arab shieks, hot bellydancers (but carefully not showing the navels) and marketplaces selling all kinds of stuff.
Most of the film is quite silly. They note that crazy people get free food because they've been "touched" by Allah. Then Bob acts crazy but unfortunately the first place he goes to the store owner also is nuts.
Once in a while they will make fun of Paramount, or "I have to remind the audience of what's happening in case they walked into the middle of the picture." Or they'll say "maybe we'll meet Dorothy Lamour!" Duh, you think?? (All the "On the Road.." films featured Dorothy Lamour, so it was a given.
The craziness moves into high gear when Bing sells Bob to a princess. She found a horoscope that says her first husband will be killed in a week, but her second husband will live with her forever. Marrying the American means he'll live only a week! Oops.
Anthony Quinn plays the crazy jealous Arab who is supposed to marry her as the second husband. The boys get thrown into the desert -- mirages of hamburger joints ensue!
Interesting effect of the three of them lip synching each others' voices!
Best song for me was "Moonlight Becomes You" by crooner Bing Crosby.

Since I'm at work and I'd like to watch the Tour of Poland on dead time, is there any way for me to connect on my Galaxy S5 to watching streams? I did get busted watching the TDF while at work, so if I can watch it from my phone, that'd be great.
Thanks in advance.

|Floor Plans First1 L.L.C. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Electronic Floor Plan Server and Method - A new and useful concept in electronic presentation and operation with a floor plan is provided, that is designed to enhance the ability of a buyer/renter to view or otherwise understand many of the attributes of a building. In an interactive version of the present invention, a user (e.g. a building buyer/renter or prospective building buyer/renter) is enabled to access, and work with a floor plan that is electronically stored at a floor plan server, via interaction between the floor plan server and a client that can be placed in circuit communication with the floor plan server (e.g. over the internet via a web browser). The user is enabled to (a) electronically work with the selected floor plan to produce a modified floor plan, and (b) save an instance of the modified floor plan at the floor plan server so that the user (or someone to whom the user emails a link to the saved instance) can revisit the saved instance. In a photo version of the present invention, a user can select a floor plan that is configured such that a user is provided with a symbol of the orientation from which an image associated with a room of the selected floor plan can be accessed and viewed, and the user can maneuver the accessed image to any location over the entire screen of a client. Moreover, a user is enabled to format the floor plan to fit the entire screen of a client, and to enlarge or reduce a selected area of the floor plan, independently of the capability of the user to maneuver a selected image over the entire screen of the client.

to as Pravastatin throughout this leaflet
Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start
taking this medicine because it contains important
information for you.
• Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.
• If you have any further questions, ask your doctor
or pharmacist.
• This medicine has been prescribed for you only.
Do not pass it on to others. It may harm them,
even if their signs of illness are the same as

4. Possible side effects
5. How to store Pravastatin
6. Contents of the pack and other information
1 What Pravastatin is and what it is used for
Pravastatin belongs to a group of drugs called
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. These reduce the
amount of cholesterol and triglycerides (fatty
substances) in your blood.
Pravastatin is used:
• to reduce your risk in the future of developing
coronary heart disease or having a heart attack or
stroke, if you have raised levels of cholesterol but
do not have coronary heart disease
• to reduce your risk of having a further heart attack
or stroke, if you have already had a heart attack or
have unstable angina
• to reduce increased lipid levels, if you have had
an organ transplant and are taking medication to
stop your body rejecting the transplant.
Some further information:
• While cholesterol is vital for the normal
functioning of the body, if the level in the blood
becomes too high it can build up on the walls of
the arteries. Eventually blood vessels can become
blocked. Only a small amount of cholesterol
comes from our diet, the majority is made by our
own livers. The body produces most cholesterol at
• Even though you may be on a low fat diet, your
doctor has done some blood tests which show
that you still have too much fat (including
cholesterol) in your blood. A high cholesterol level
is generally recognised as adding to the risk of
heart disease. Additional factors such as existing
heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes,
being overweight, lack of exercise and smoking
can also greatly increase the risk of the
development or progression of heart disease
2 What you need to know before you take
Do not take Pravastatin:
• if you are allergic to Pravastatin or any of the
other ingredients of this medicine (listed in
section 6)
• if you have current liver problems
• if you suffer from porphyria (a deficiency of
specific enzymes within the body, causing an
increase of substances called porphyrins)
• if you are pregnant or there is a possibility that
you may become pregnant or are breast feeding.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking
Pravastatin :
• if you have kidney problems
• if you are a child before puberty (puberty is the
process of physical changes by which a child's
body becomes an adult body capable of
reproduction). In this case your doctor should
properly evaluate the risk/benefit of treatment
carefully before starting this medicine.
• if you are over 70 years of age
• if you have suffered with liver problems in the past
• if you have an underactive thyroid gland
Version 2.3
• if you have an hereditary muscle disorder or a
family history of such problems
• if you have previously suffered from side effects
affecting your muscles when taking another
cholesterol lowering medicine such as a statin or
a fibrate e.g. gemfibrozil
• if you feel any unexplained cramps or muscle
pains during treatment, tell your doctor
• if you have problems with alcohol abuse (regularly
drinking large amounts of alcohol).
• if you have severe respiratory failure.
While you are on this medicine your doctor will
monitor you closely if you have diabetes or are at
risk of developing diabetes. You are likely to be at
risk of developing diabetes if you have high levels of
sugars and fats in your blood, are overweight and
have high blood pressure.
Also tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have a
muscle weakness that is constant. Additional tests
and medicines may be needed to diagnose and treat
Other medicines and Pravastatin
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are
taking or have recently taken any other medicines,
including medicines obtained without a prescription.
Talk to your doctor if you are taking any of the
• a group of cholesterol lowering medicines called
fibrates e.g. fenofibrate or gemfibrozil, ciclosporin
(an immunosuppressant used after an organ
transplant), or nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), as these
medicines can interfere with the way Pravastatin
works in your body.
• drugs known as bile acid sequestrants (a class of
drugs that prevents bile acids being reabsorbed
from the digestive system, so promoting
conversion of cholesterol into bile acids) e.g.
colestyramine, colestipol (please see section 3, If
you are also taking a bile acid sequestrant)
• the antibiotics erythromycin or clarithromycin.
Pravastatin with food, drink and alcohol
• Keep alcohol intake to a minimum, if you want to
drink then only have small quantities of alcohol
whilst taking this medicine, and make sure you do
not stop taking your medicine if you have an
alcoholic drink one evening.
Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility
Do not take Pravastatin:
• if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you are
planning to become pregnant
• if you are a woman who could become pregnant
(unless you are using a reliable form of
contraception other than the pill or other
hormonal contraceptives). If you do become
pregnant when taking Pravastatin, stop taking the
tablets as soon as you become aware of it.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before
taking any medicine.
Driving and using machines
• Pravastatin may cause dizziness blurred or double
vision during treatment, if affected do not drive or
operate machinery.
Pravastatin contain lactose
• Patients who are intolerant to lactose should note
that Pravastatin tablets contain a small amount of
lactose. If your doctor has told you that you have
an intolerance to some sugars, contact your
doctor before taking this medicine.
3 How to take pravastatin
Always take Pravastatin exactly as your doctor has
told you. You should check with your doctor or
pharmacist if you are not sure. Your doctor will have
explained the importance of a low fat diet as well as
taking Pravastatin.
The tablets should be swallowed preferably with a
glass of water. Pravastatin can be taken with or
without food.
Adults and older people
• In the treatment of high levels of cholesterol and
fats in the blood: the recommended dose is
10-40 mg once a day, preferably in the evening.
• In the prevention of heart and blood vessel
diseases: the recommended dose is 40 mg once a
day, preferably in the evening.

once a day. The dose may be adjusted up to 40 mg
by your doctor.
If you are also taking a medicine which lowers the
body's immune system (ciclosporin), your doctor
may prescribe a starting dose of 20 mg once a day.
The dose may be adjusted up to 40 mg by your
If you suffer from kidney or severe liver disease,
your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of
Pavastatin to you.
If you have the impression that the effect of this
treatment is too strong or too weak, talk to your
doctor or pharmacist.
Duration of treatment
Your doctor will indicate the duration of your
treatment with Pravastatin. This medicine must be
used very regularly and for as long as your doctor
advises, even if it is for a very long time. Do not stop
your treatment by yourself.
• If you are also taking a bile acid sequestrant,
such as colestyramine or colestipol, Pravastatin
should be taken at least one hour before or four
hours after you have taken the bile acid
sequestrant. This is because the absorption of
Pravastatin can be affected by these medicines if
taken too closely together.
Liver or kidney problems
If you have either liver or kidney problems your
doctor may prescribe a lower dose.
Use in children and adolescents
Children adolescents (8-18 years of age) with a
hereditary disease which increases the level of
cholesterol in the blood:
The usual dose is 10 to 20 mg once a day between 8
and 13 years and from 10 to 40 mg once a day
between 14 and 18 years.
If you take more Pravastatin than you should
If you (or someone else) swallow a lot of the tablets
all together, or if you think a child has swallowed
any of the tablets, contact your nearest hospital
casualty department or your doctor immediately.
Please take this leaflet, any remaining tablets, and
the container with you to the hospital or doctor so
that they know which tablets were consumed.
If you forget to take Pravastatin
If you forget to take a dose, take one as soon as you
remember, unless it is nearly time to take the next
one. Do not take a double dose to make up for a
forgotten dose.
If you have any further questions on the use of this
medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
4 Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side
effects, although not everybody gets them.

unwell or have a high temperature.

Spring photography tips: how to photograph flowers in the wild
Taking pictures of flowers in a controlled environment such as still life photography, or even in the confines of your garden is one thing. But learning how to photograph flowers in the wild presents a whole number of new challenges. In this quick spring photography guide we show you how to think about the light and how to experiment with the look and feel of your pictures.
Compared to other aspects of nature photography, shooting wild plants and flowers is a stroll in the park. After all, they can't run off and you don't need to lug back-breaking lumps of glass around with you to get a decent shot.
What's more, the diversity and abundance of plants means that you won't have to venture far to find a subject, and now is the ideal time to give it a go.
How to photograph flowers with the right backdrop
There are a number of lenses that are suitable for flower photography, depending on the style of image you hope to capture. Most general purpose zooms that cover focal lengths of around 24mm to 135mm will give you plenty of options.
The wider end of this range will allow you to include the plant or flower as part of its surroundings, helping to put it into context. The use of a wide-angle also increases depth of field, so the subject and backdrop can be recorded in sharp focus.
A short to mid telephoto is useful if you want to isolate an individual flower by throwing the background out of focus. It's also possible to reduce the minimum focusing distance of a telephoto by fitting extension tubes.
These inexpensive glass-less tubes fit between the camera and lens and are an effective alternative to a macro lens. For serious close-up work though, use a 1:1 macro so you can hone in on the fine details.
SEE MORE: 25 flower photography tips for beginners
A step-by-step guide on how to photograph flowers in the wild
Choose your lens
Choose an appropriate lens. A wide-angle is ideal for showing a flower in its habitat, while a close-focusing telephoto will isolate it. For super close-ups and abstracts use a dedicated macro lens.
SEE MORE: How to set your autofocus for macro photography
Frame the shot
Set the camera up on a tripod and position it roughly level with the flower to create a pleasing photo composition. Check the background and look around the frame for any distractions, tidying the surroundings as required. A clamp will hold tall stems steady and prevent subject movement.
SEE MORE: Garden macro photography: tips for shooting stunning pictures at home
Think about settings
Use a low ISO for best quality images with minimal noise. Set a small aperture for maximum depth of field or a large aperture to make the subject stand out from the background. Use manual focus for maximum precision. Live View can be useful for accurate focusing.

Think about light
Most flowers look great to the human eye when viewed in bright sunshine, but this is often not the best light for pictures. Direct sunlight can cause problems with contrast, burning out highlights and creating unflattering shadows.
Soft, diffused light is much better and will produce a more attractive result with bright, well-saturated colours. An alternative approach is to use backlighting to reveal fine details on the stem and flower and add impact to colourful petals.
Backlighting is particularly effective when the subject is photographed against a black background for added drama.

In terms of framing, flowers lend themselves well to a variety of compositions in both horizontal and vertical formats, and this is often dictated by the flower's overall shape.
Try to shoot level with the subject rather than looking down on it, and place it off to one side of the frame. This will lead to a more intimate and sympathetic composition.
Be creative and think beyond a straightforward record shot and more in terms of the shape, colour and form. Don't just concentrate on the flower itself – the leaves, stem and other parts of the plant can be just as interesting.
It's also important not to ignore the background. Frame up the flower so that it has a complementary background that doesn't compete for attention.
Shooting from a low level will help throw foregrounds and backgrounds softly out of focus when using a telephoto lens. Setting a large aperture will also minimise depth of field so that just the flower is in focus.
If necessary, tidy up the background by holding or carefully tying distracting foliage out of shot. Tweezers can also be useful for removing dead stems.
As the days get longer, more flowers will come into bloom, providing you with a steady stream of subjects to perfect your skills.

What Nanny Knew
Lorrie Moore's new novel is all about lies.
I was in high school, and my mom, inveterate finder of great new books, brought home Lorrie Moore's newly published first story collection, Self-Help (1985). She left it sitting on the side table by the big checkered chair in the den. I picked up the book, idly curious. The first story, of course, was "How To Be an Other Woman." I had never read a story in the imperative voice and was immediately drawn in. And then, a few pages in, there it was, embedded in an exchange between two lovers:
The next time he phones, he says: "I was having a dream about you and suddenly I woke up with a jerk and felt very uneasy."
Say: "Yeah, I hate to wake up with jerks."
I stared at the book, as at a creature at the zoo. A joke. I was not sure I had ever seen one like this before, folded into what was obviously literary fiction, unafraid of looking dumb, unafraid of being dumb, just sitting there, totally unembarrassed and undisguised, unapologetically doing its job. Which was to soften the blow. And make it hurt more at the same time.
All of a sudden, new things seemed possible in a short story. Publishers are forever touting fresh voices; this one really was something that belonged to itself, a voice as tight and resonant as a drum. But a funny drum.
The collection was spiked with "How To" stories, as they have come to be known, all jokey and dark and crammed with wordplay. Moore's achievement was recognized by readers and critics; she was almost immediately anthologized and taught. Two more excellent collections followed; her 1998 Birds of America was a bestseller and contained a story generally considered a masterpiece, "People Like That Are the Only People Here."
She also wrote two novels, Anagrams (1986) and Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? (1994), books that felt curiously tethered to the short stories. They dealt with the kind of wry, disappointed women who featured in many of the stories; they were experimental (Anagrams) or fast-moving (Frog Hospital). They were playful, melancholy, smallish affairs.
In A Gate at the Stairs, bulkier than her other books, Moore has now written something that looks a lot more like a traditional novel. It has a sympathetic protagonist. It has a plot! This is quite a change for Moore, whose short story "How To Become a Writer" contained this immortal line: "Plots are for dead people, pore-face."
Tassie Keltjin, the narrator, is a lonely Midwestern farm girl who has come to college in a big (or biggish) city that sounds much like Madison, Wis. The time is just after Sept. 11, 2001. But Tassie is hardly the person suggested by this thumbnail description. Her father is a weirdo organic farmer; her mom is a buttoned-up transplanted East Coaster; her brother, who hates high school, is doing yoga to cheer himself up and considering going into the military.
There is nothing typical about this family, but that does not keep Tassie herself—who plays the bass and rides a scooter—from feeling, in the manner of many heroes of the bildungsroman, fatally cut off from the town where she grew up. Most importantly, Tassie is someone who observes everything. She is not one of Moore's charming jokers, at least not out loud. Her observant nature isolates her from other people; she sees more than she says.
At the opening of the book, Tassie's main human contact is with her new boss, a more familiar Moore figure. Sarah is a fraught, nervy, compulsively jokey chef married to Edward, a mysterious figure who seems always to be away on business. The two want to adopt a baby; Tassie will be its nanny. Together Tassie and Sarah begin to meet with potential moms: girls who may or may not give away their babies. Eventually Sarah and Edward adopt a biracial daughter named Mary-Emma.

Thank you so much Justart, Angela & Jessica :)
The light here resonates like an Edward Hopper. The painting has a brilliant sun-bleached feeling, yet still evinces a sense of despondency. But then that's just how I'm wired.
wow, I thought it was a photograph!!! really a great painting!! :) :)
wonderful! love it!
Thank you for the incredible interpretation, Geoffrey. My brain seems to be wired similarly and this piece was created during a rather difficult time.

I must apologize, Jacqueline... seen this image in thumbnail form and have been assuming it was a photograph. Seeing it close up, I'm dumbstruck... Amazing photo-realism! WOW!
nice abstraction
No apologies necessary, Wayne! I am so flattered by your comment, especially because this piece has been viewed as an abstraction as well. The fact that you also see the realism as others see the abstraction means that I have executed my intent effectively! Thank you so much for very kind words!
Thank you INAA!

Green Challenge by aipeWatch

I did this all with nail polish for once. I prefer paint for designs because it lays flatter on the nail, but I was too lazy to mix paints to the colors I wanted. It worked out pretty well I think.
This is really nice, I like that the one finger is a little bit different. Dis you use a brush to make the pattern? Your nails are really pretty, are they natural if I may ask? : D
Ya, I used a paint brush. One that I trimmed down with scissors. I am not usually good with swirls and such, but with practice I'm getting better. And yes, my nails are natural. I really dislike fake nails because in my experience with them years ago, they wreck your natural nails and I hate having to pay someone to do them, lol. I also had a very painful mishap once.
I have quite long natural nails but they sometimes brake off so I have uneven nails and I don't like that so I was thinking of getting some gel tips or something but yes they definitely ruiln the natural nail under it and it is so expensive so I might not go for it. : D
I've always had my nails painted,but I think what really helps them to not break is to have a few layers of polish on all the time. I use a "hardener" base coat, couple coats of color, and 1 or 2 layers of clear top coat. My nails used to break so easily. I changed my diet to be healthier which I think helped a lot, but regrettably I have gone back to junk food. I'm surprised my nails still hold strong for the most part. I've also tried vitamins for nails/hair/skin which made them grow fast and strong. I use them now if I chop my nails off real short. I've used silk wraps for breaks/tears too, they really help but are kind of a pain to maintain if you redo your nails a lot. Sorry for rambling, lol.
Thanks for the tips! I always have my nails polished too since without plish I'm afraid they will brake suoer easy. People are often quite surprised how long my nails are and I tell them to just use polish! But a good diet and taking care of your nails is really important too. Your nails are really pretty and even. Every time I do some rough work all of my nails brake off hahah. XD
yes! looks great. love the swirlies on black.
Lovely X
I love this design. So pretty!
Beautiful design

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/02/12 -- The Anita Borg Institute (ABI) will address the question, "Are We There Yet?" this week at its 7th annual Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) event in Baltimore, MD. Over 3,600 people from 42 countries, including technical women, corporate executives, academic institutions, students and government officials, will gather to present new research and discuss women's advances, opportunities and challenges in computer science and technology.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there will be 1.4 million new jobs in computing and computer-related roles created by 2018. By 2016, U.S. companies will only be able to fill half of their technical positions with computer science graduates. Over the last two decades, the Anita Borg Institute has provided resources and programs to help industry, academia, and government recruit, retain, and advance women in high-tech fields.
"There are excellent role models for women in computer science and technology today," said Telle Whitney, president and CEO of The Anita Borg Institute. "Many of the women technologists who are speaking at this year's conference are leading researchers, computer science professors, and technical executives at leading companies and leaders from government agencies. Their accomplishments are impressive. While women today are clearly major contributors in highly technical fields, there is still plenty of work to do to inspire and advance women of all ages to embrace technology as a career."
ABI, along with its various sponsors will discuss how to create and foster academic and work environments that encourage women of all ages to seek professions in computer and engineering fields.
2012 sponsors include:

The annual four-day event will feature over 400 speakers from academia, industry and government. Key technical areas that will be discussed are social collaboration in computing, the emerging trend of big data, and computer security. The event includes an Open Source Day and Code-a-thon for Humanity, a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Systers, the largest global online community for technical women, and a multi-day career fair consisting of over 110 companies promoting open computer science and engineering positions at all levels. 320 scholarships were awarded to college undergraduates, graduate and post doctoral students to attend this year's event underwritten by ABI, corporate sponsors, and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
One award presenter, Microsoft, a platinum sponsor, will have 165 attendees, including executives, researchers and Microsoft developers who are presenting, speaking, and awarding scholarships. "There are great opportunities for women in computer science and technology and they are growing every year," said Rane Johnson-Stempson, Director at Microsoft Research (MSR). She continued, "As an avid evangelist for women in technology, we need to continue to educate, support and mentor women already in, or about to enter the workplace, about career opportunities in today's dynamic technology workforce."
CA Technologies, another platinum event sponsor and leader in IT management solutions, will also send a large contingent of executives participating on various panels addressing women in technology issues including workplace diversity, cyber security and local economics.
According to Romea Smith, CA Technologies' Senior Vice President of Support, today's workplace not only values, but also embraces, diversity especially within STEM-specific employment opportunities. "The technology industry has always advocated diversity with the goal of attracting smart and creative people who are determined to advance technical innovation," noted Smith. "The industry welcomes the best minds, regardless of the demographics, and women who seek technical positions today have incredible access to training, job searching tools and opportunities that continue to increase in number and importance."
Co-founded by Dr. Anita Borg and Dr. Telle Whitney in 1994 and inspired by the legacy of Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) of Women in Computing is a conference designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in their respective fields, representing industrial, academic and government communities. Leading researchers present their current work, while special sessions focus on the role of women in today's technology fields, including computer science, information technology, research and engineering.
