Re: recommendation for Speedlight Beauty Dish
In reply to Andrea Crema • Apr 5, 2013
Hi, I did buy a couple of Ezyfold Ebay Speedlite Softboxes, a 24 X 24" & a 30 X 30". They are easy to use - I would go for a recessed front panel design. Remember you can mask off the diffusion surface to create different shaped catch-lights. Feathering across a subject works well.
I'm still working on BD setups. Even BD designs specifically for Speedlites do have their wrinkles. Many give nice light on-axis (their axis), but throw uneven light off-axis, which typically falls on the backdrop.

$3m of cannabis found on West Coast
Relevant offers
Cannabis on the West Coast has flourished despite the drought-like conditions.
The region's annual police cannabis bust was due to finish today with about 3000 plants found from Karamea to Franz Josef by this morning.
Operation head Sergeant Russell Glue, of Hokitika, said today he was surprised the illegal crop was in such good condition considering the dry weather that had gripped the region.
''I would say they probably have had to water the plants though.''
About 15 to 20 officers were involved in the six-day aerial eradication operation, along with 12 New Zealand Air Force personnel and an Iroquois helicopter.
Glue said the number of plants found was about 700 fewer than last year.
''Over the last eight or nine years, it has been trending down. We would like to think it's because of brilliant policing.''
However, he said the West Coast was still one of the country's key cannabis growing areas.
Most of the plants were found hidden in bush in rural areas.
Two people had been arrested and a third had been summonsed to appear in court. All faced cannabis cultivation and other drug-related charges.
Glue said removing cannabis from society was important because of the illegal drug's negative impacts.
All the plants had been destroyed.
The haul was worth more than $4 million for its impact on society, including hospital costs, crime and other social effects, he said.
Its street value could be up to $3m, with a mature processed cannabis plant worth about $1000, although the plants varied in size from seedlings up to fully-grown plants.

Selena Gomez Receives Death Threats, Justin Bieber Praises His Fans
So much for being a heartthrob's lover, Selena Gomez has received death threats from Justin Bieber's fans after photos of their intimate moment leaked. The teen stars went on a Caribbean vacation together over the New Year and despite their denial of a romance, the photos showed that 'friends' is not the right term.
Now the Twitter-verse has been filled with nasty comments for Gomez who is two years older than Bieber. One fan wrote," If you are the Girlfriend of Justin I will Kill you I HATE YOU :@ !!!" and another threatened, "stay away from Justin pedophile, retard wait i'm gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed."
So serious is this taken that Reuters noted that "Americans were quick to note that any sexual relationship between Bieber at 16, and 'older woman' Gomez would amount to statutory rape under U.S. law as Bieber is well below the age of consent."
Bieber and Gomez have not uttered a word about this as of press time. The "Baby" hitmaker chose to praise his fans instead, tweeting they "r the greatest" and "I never have to worry about the BS because they support me 4 me" when asked "whats one thing u like about your beliebers/fans?".

Staten Island, NY- In game one, the Staten Island Yankees (28-29) defeated the Connecticut Tigers (31-27) by the score of 5-2 at Richmond County Bank Ballpark Wednesday night. RF Austin Aune (1-2) led the way for the Yankees as he put the team up 2-0 in the first inning with an two-run double.
RHP Fernando Perez (4-4) suffered his fourth loss of the season and his second straight. It was Perez's shortest outing of the season as he only pitched two innings while allowing three runs on two hits. Of the six outs recorded by Perez, four of them were for strikeouts. One of the big blows to Perez's shortest outing was that he walked three of the first four batters. RHP Jack Fischer pitched three innings while giving up two runs on four hits.
The Tigers bats just could not get anything going. The one through three hitters were a combine 0-for-11 at the plate. 3B Steven Fuentes (2-3) continued to swing the bat well as he hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning that cut the game to three runs at 5-2. Fuentes was the only Tiger to have a multiple hit game.
In game two, the Yankees (29-29) defeated the Tigers (31-28) by the score of 3-2. With the scored tied, the Yankees grabbed two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a 3-1 lead. 3B Renzo Martini (1-2) put the Yankees in front 2-1 with an RBI single. 2B Ty McFarland reached first base on a throwing error by Tigers SS Garrett Mattlage (0-3) which allowed Martini to score the third run of the game for Staten Island.
The Tigers offense for the second straight game gave little offensive run support for their pitching staff. DH Joey Pankake (1-3) put the Tigers in front in the first inning with an RBI single. C Tim Remes (1-2) kept Connecticut in the game with an opposite field solo home run in the seventh inning that cut the lead to one run at 3-2. The Tigers were 1-for-9 in the game with runners in scoring position and left seven on base. In the doubleheader, the Tigers were 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 13 on base.
RHP Austin Pritcher (6-2) suffered just his second loss of the season. Pritcher pitched three innings while giving up two runs on four hits and struck out five batters. Pritcher relieved RHP Josh Heddinger who made the start. Heddinger pitched two innings while giving up one run on two hits. The Tigers defense made key defensive mistakes that led to two unearned runs that were charged to Heddinger and Pritcher. The defense committed three errors and four total in the doubleheader.
In the series finale, Tigers RHP AJ Ladwig (0-2, 2.25) is slated to face RHP Jonathan Holder (1-1, 3.27). The pre-game show begins at 6:50 on AM 1310 WICH and cttigers.com.
The Connecticut Tigers are the Class-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers and play in the New York-Penn League. The Tigers are in their 5th season at Dodd Stadium. Tickets are now on sale! The Box Office is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. In addition, tickets can be purchased over the phone at (860) 887-7962. For more information go online to cttigers.com.

The Perfect Woman? Your Average Female Mac User Wears Sneakers, Has Freckles
We all know what a Mac man looks like. But what about his female counterpart? Well, apparently, she's a pretty good-looking young woman (emphasis on the young: 52% of female Mac users surveyed were under 20 years old). Technology blog The Next Web surveyed thousands of fans and put together this interesting infographic on what Ms. Mac 2012, as she is known, looks like — and what she wears! Her preference for flip-flops and sneakers indicates she's not exactly a fashion risk-taker; however, a respectable portion prefers blouses, so she's no slob. (The Next Web)
Does this lady look familiar to you? And, more importantly, is she cute enough to make you ditch your PC?

English at Pre-Intermediate level at IH. She has studied English for several years and this is her fourth attempt to study to a level of fluency, which is her aim. She began studying English at age 18 and reached intermediate level but then stopped classes for 15 years. She has taken 2 subsequent 3-month courses the most recent at the University in Barcelona. Motivation Angeles is highly motivated and interested in improving her English for personal reasons although she feels it could also be useful in her work to some degree. Her sister lives in London and is married to an Englishman and she has visited England several times. She likes to watch films in English and to go to the cinema to watch old English language films, the most recent being last weekend (singing in the rain). She is always early for class, has 100% attendance record and actively seeks out opportunities to converse in English. Learning Style Angeles is extremely studious and a voracious reader (mainly travel & biographies). Although she finds it difficult to read in English she does and she accesses the internet in English as well as Spanish. She finds listening extremely difficult but knows she needs to improve. She says she finds listening to the radio in Spanish also very difficult. On the VARK scale her key areas are visual and reading/writing. She responds better to listening activities if she has preread a matching text and knows the context of the exercise. Angeles enjoys pair work and group activities, but is also focused and able to work independently. Strengths Angeles is very keen to learn English for intrinsic reasons, it is important to her and she values the work she has already put into learning a base of English to pre-intermediate level but is determined to advance to her aim of upper intermediate. She is careful about her speech and prioritises accuracy over fluency. She likes to be corrected, actively notes corrections for her own reference and often corrects herself. She has a wide range of interests and enjoys engaging in conversation. Although she makes some rudimentary errors in terms of the precision of her language she has gathered a wide vocabulary (a reflection of her interests in life). She likes to gather and use specific words that are appropriate to a particular situation rather than those in common use. Weaknesses

I am vexed as to how to get Samsung to understand that many users of the NX system are serious about their work. If I only shoot raw it appears that I might as well not have the wireless at all.
Just doesn't make sense, what can we do to attract some attention to this issue ??

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/11/13 -- Gandi, a leading domain name registrar and cloud-hosting provider, today announced the Beta release of their Private VLAN technology, which will be available free to all Gandi Cloud VPS customers starting this week. The technology, which Gandi plans to release as open source later this year, links public cloud VPS instances across private VLAN segments, breaking through existing network scalability barriers now faced by cloud service providers by effectively squaring the number of VLANs, or secure virtual networks, that can be implemented in a given network switch fabric. Cloud Service providers will soon be able to expand operations using their existing infrastructures with confidence that their customers' application ports remain secure and invisible to the public.
The challenges for scaling secure communications to public clouds have been a limiting factor for cloud adoption. Gandi's Private VLAN technology eases these limits, by more than two orders of magnitude. Issues of VLAN exhaustion and switch address space overload in flat switched networks are addressed by the technology, without the need to replace existing network infrastructure with something more expensive, like software defined networking, or SDN. Gandi engineers were the first to solve the problem using this approach.
"Gandi has always been an advocate for an open internet so we are extremely pleased to be introducing this solution to the private VLAN puzzle," said Thomas Stocking, COO, Gandi. "We're also excited because this will let our customers expand their cloud implementations to meet the needs of their customers."
Today Gandi is also announcing a Web Accelerator service for hosting customers, which also will be available starting this week. The service provides load balancing through reverse proxy, and acceleration through caching. It will be offered for free with Gandi Cloud VPS servers, during the beta period.
Gandi Private VLANs are included in the price of Gandi Cloud VPS instances, which start at $16.00 per month. For more information about Gandi Private VLAN, visit www.gandi.net or call 410-429-7402.
About Gandi
Founded in 1999, Gandi is a major international domain name registrar and cloud hosting provider. Gandi manages more than 1.3 million domain names and 163 extensions. Offering a world-class alternative to purely commercial registrars, and a low-cost, innovative, cloud hosting platform, Gandi provides hosting for a community of people working on technology that enables the Internet for business, while also advocating for the free and unrestricted sharing of information and the promotion of the respect of individual rights. Organizations that Gandi.net supports include Creative Commons, EFF, and Students for Free Culture, among others. You can follow Gandi on Twitter @gandibar.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

It is well deserved recognition for the emphasis we have placed on continuing to develop our channel programme, and strengthen our partner community, our technology and our ability to add value for all our partners.
"At Mimecast, we've set the bar high and we are now looking forward to an exciting 2013, continuing to innovate to improve our channel programme and investing in our team, our products and our partners to help take the business on to the next level in the UK and across Europe."
A number of Mimecast partners were also honoured on the night. Microsoft was named Software Vendor of the Year, Trustmarque picked up Services Provider of the Year, Bytes Software Services scooped Enterprise Reseller of the Year, and Softcat collected Reseller of the Year.
2012 has been a great year for awards for Mimecast. The CRN Security Vendor of the Year gong follows a 20th place ranking in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50, winning Computing Security's Messaging Security Solution of the Year, being named Microsoft Innovative Customer Advocacy Partner of the Year, and picking up Messaging Product of the Year at the Network Computing awards. Mimecast's Unified Email Management solution also won an MSExchange Gold award, Eliza Hedegaard was named Account Manager of the Year at the Knowlist Legal IT Awards, Gillian Crewdson received Best Vendor Marketing Manager at the CRN Sales & Marketing Awards, and Trevor Highley was honoured with Best Vendor Account Manager at the same event.

This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kia Motors America (KMA) is one of the fastest-growing car companies in the U.S., and its two popular crossover utility vehicles have acquired an impressive collection of awards and accolades from industry observers. This week, the brand's two CUVs received a different type of recognition when Strategic Vision revealed that new car buyers identified the 2013 Sorento and 2013 Sportage as the number one ranked vehicles in Total Value in the Medium and Small SUV segments, respectively, in the research firm's latest Total Value Index® (TVI) study.
More than 350 new vehicles were vetted and over 77,000 buyers who purchased models from September 2011 to June 2012 were surveyed to compile Strategic Vision's 16th annual TVI study, which revealed that quality and innovation shaped buyers' opinion of overall values. "The result shows that innovation is the strongest single predictor of which cars, brands and corporations are seen as the best value, or 'Total Value' in our study," stated Alexander Edwards, president of Strategic Vision.
"Kia takes great pride in advancing value to new levels of sophistication, and Strategic Vision's 'Total Value' recognition is gratifying because it is based on feedback from Sorento and Sportage customers," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing & communications, KMA. "This honor speaks to Kia's goal of producing cars that are not only affordable but also dynamic in terms of their design, performance and cutting-edge technology attributes."
The Sorento combines fun and functionality in a refined and value-minded CUV with impressive power. Kia's longest running nameplate, the Sportage, offers design and performance in a compact CUV with modern amenities and a fun-to-drive personality.
Kia's Unprecedented Growth
Kia Motors is one of the world's fastest moving global automotive brands; from 2009-2011 Kia launched more new vehicles in the U.S. than any other automaker, and under the guidance of chief design officer Peter Schreyer earned a reputation as an industry leader in automotive styling. Kia Motors America's full line of fun-to-drive cars and CUVs has earned critical acclaim and dramatically increased consumer awareness, perception and consideration for the brand. In 2011, KMA recorded its 17th consecutive year of market share growth, thanks in part to the largest increase of any major brand in perceived quality[2] and the industry's highest brand loyalty ranking[3]. Kia's U.S.-based manufacturing facility in West Point, Georgia – KMMG – is responsible for the creation of more than 10,000 plant and supplier jobs and builds two of the company's best-selling vehicles in the U.S. – the Sorento CUV and Optima midsize sedan*. Kia's value and technology-laden lineup also includes the Sportage compact CUV, Soul urban passenger vehicle, Optima Hybrid, Forte compact sedan, Forte 5-door compact hatchback, Forte Koup two-door coupe, Rio and Rio 5-door sub-compacts and Sedona minivan.

The Sorento also offers optional All-Wheel Drive, third-row seven-passenger seating, Bluetooth®[4], SiriusXM radio[5], Infinity®[6] surround sound and Kia's UVO powered by Microsoft® voice- activated infotainment and communication system[7]. The refined and value-minded 2013 Sorento is offered at a starting MSRP of $23,150[8].
About the 2013 Sportage
The 2013 Kia Sportage offers value-, image- and safety-conscious consumers a striking design and a standout combination of fun-to-drive performance, the latest in-vehicle technologies, and an abundance of comfort, convenience and safety features all at a tremendous value. The sleek and modern Sportage is available with either a 2.4-liter, 176 horsepower engine or a 2.0-liter, 260 horsepower Turbo GDI engine. Inside the cabin, the Sportage offers a host of available technology features, including Kia's all new UVO Powered by Microsoft® hands-free, voice-activated infotainment system. The 2013 Sportage features a starting MSRP of $19,000[9].

Product Design That's Profitable and Sustainable
Making customer experience a pillar of sustainable profitability is a better alternative than sustainability by enforced abstinence, writes Gianfranco Zaccai, president and CEO of Continuum, in a Businessweek article. In other words, if a great customer experience also happens to reduce waste and consumption, so much the better. Profitable sustainability is when designers create products, services, and environments that make sense for clients, and work for and with our earth.
Zaccai points to Procter & Gamble's Swiffer cleaning system as an example. The Swiffer, which Continuum helped design, is a success from a customer experience standpoint and as an example of profitable sustainability. Cleaning a floor with a Swiffer uses almost no water at all and the only disposable waste is a sheet of paper and a few squirts of cleaning agent. On the other hand, cleaning the floor with a mop and detergent uses gallons of hot water and great amounts of detergent.
But the key, according to Zaccai, is that people like swiffing better than mopping. Designing a superior experience makes it possible to increase profit and decrease waste simultaneously.
