Plus, you would need adapters to attach one of the Canon macro-flashes.
I think it's only a matter of time before there's a big shake-up in Canon management and things go back to what we consider "normal". Yes, this pricing is insane, but it can't last forever if they hope to stay competitive. One big flop will really open their eyes, and that may or may not be what the 6D turns out to be.
adjustable flash bracket, small ballhead, 580 ex II, small 15x20cm softbox.
bchernicoff, thanks for the kind words.If I were to buy anything soon, it would be other lenses I have wanted that are now bargains compared to the new lenses, esp used. Like the 100mm L Macro. Or the 35mm L.
neuroanatomist,Just for fun (after reading your last post about your flash rigging) I looked at your equipment list and some images on Flickr from your signature links.Truly great work. Beautiful images.Wish you were my neighbor so we could go shoot together and so I could borrow!
[Any time you're in Boston... Thanks for the compliment!I brought up the RRS flash rig mainly because I'm just about to pull the trigger on one, along with a macro rail. Just trying to decide on whether I want to attach the flash bracket to a lens plate for the MP-E 65mm's collar, or to a rail on the body. Leaning toward the latter because it looks like attaching it to the lens plate will put the flash heads behind the subject at 1-2x magnifications.
PRICE RANT Ahead... (and sorry for the length)Come on everyone - Wake Up! Do you really need this stuff at these prices?Canon has lost me for quite a while until they WTFU and get past this insanity. I am running away from these prices. In fact, I'm considering selling a few things now, not buying more. Unfortunately, there are thousands of fans out there that simply MUST buy all this new gear right away at whatever price is asked which will delay the return to reasonable prices for at least a year or two instead of just a few months. If the market (enthusiasts) ran away at these prices, they would quickly drop. But Canon expects enough enthusiasts to accept and swallow this price point to demand it and rake in cash which is a real shame. In this case, Canon equates "Enthusiasts" to = "Suckers". Our society has become so impatient and demanding of instant gratification at any cost that most consumers have truly become sheep. Upgrade cycles for expensive luxury items have become months, not years. Sorry if this offends you but if it does, then think a minute about why it offends you. Then go shoot some pictures in a 3rd World Country or even just a poor part of town.
Do remember that Canon is not your only lens option. .... To me it's a no-brainer but then, I don't feel wedded to Canon lenses.

Crosby Street hotel adds another layer of vibrancy to the historic cast-iron buildings and cobble-stoned streets of downtown Manhattan. Located at the creative pulse of the city that never sleeps, Crosby Street Hotel marks the first American venture of Tim and Kit Kemp, perennial darlings of the London hotel world. Built from scratch on the site of a former parking lot in SoHo, each of the 86 rooms are one-of-a-kind, and the upper floor suites offer unparalleled luxury and an impeccable 360° view of one of the world's most vibrant and glamorous skylines. The Crosby Bar offers modern American all-day dining, an eclectic cocktail menu, and afternoon tea inside or in the courtyard garden.
Rooms & suites
It wouldn't feel like Soho if the Crosby Street in New York didn't have loft style rooms and suites. The 86 spacious, individually designed bedrooms and suites span over 11 floors, featuring floor-to-ceiling warehouse style windows. British designer and owner Kit Kemp's refreshingly modern British style lends an unbeatable charm to the rooms with custom designed fabrics and original artwork. The Meadow Suite, as the name suggests, has its own private garden terrace—a rarity for boutique hotels in NYC—featuring American native plants. The suites all come with luxuries such as in-suite check-in, unpacking and packing service, bespoke mini bar and welcome gift, and shoeshine service. Of all the hotel's suites, it's the Crosby Suites, which occupy the 9th, 10th and 11th floors, that offer the most stunning and unforgettable views of that mesmerizing New York skyline.
From parking lot to iconic Soho loft look
In keeping with the neighborhood's industrial history, the hotel façade has been kept minimalist. The exterior of brick, stone and glass pays homage to the surrounding urban landscape, while the floor-to-ceiling warehouse windows are an obvious nod to the iconic SoHo loft look. Sustainable materials and energy-efficient technology round out the package—green luxury at its best. In fact, the Crosby Street Hotel is one of the most environmentally responsible hotels in the entire United States, well poised to receive a Gold LEEDS (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the US Green Building Council.
The Perfect Balance Between Classicism and Modernity
Unusual pieces of original art spark Kit Kemp's design process. No surprise, then, that the centerpiece of the Crosby Street Hotel lobby is a stunning work by Scottish paper cutout artist Jack Milroy. But don't expect a transatlantic transport of Kemp's original English style; the Crosby Street Hotel achieves an American flair without abandoning its British roots via Kemp's collaborations with local designers and artisans.
Kit Kemp
Together with her partner Tim Kemp, award-winning designer Kit Kemp stands at the helm of nine hotels. This quirky design guru's aesthetic reflects a fresh, modern take on English style. Mixing eras with state-of-the-art technology, the self-taught designer follows no rules but her own, creating a signature style that strikes the perfect balance between classicism and modernity that can be found throughout her one boutique hotel in New York and her eight in London. Kemp's pioneering work earned her the Andrew Martin International Interior Designer of the Year in 2008, and her hotel group Firmdale Hotels received the Queens Award for Enterprise in 2000, 2006 and in 2009.

Black, White & Denim: Vivienne Westwood, Zara, J Brand & Majdan Rocks
5th February 2014
This is one of my favourite style posts on the blog because all of my new family were involved in its inception – husband and photographer extraordinaire and my recently 'adopted' yellow lab framed in the winter sunlight back in December in the USA.
I wish the winters in England were always as bright as they were in Atlanta. Even though Atlanta recently had snow, here in the UK I seem perpetually surrounded by grey clouds, wind and rain. All very depressing. Very soon I will have diagnosed myself with Seasonal Affective Disorder, thank goodness the fashion weeks are fast approaching for some excitement!
Black, white and denim continue to be my wardrobe theme since the past few years. I bought this pair of J Brand boyfriend jeans in the U.S at Neiman Marcus and have been wearing them with a range of shirts and slouchy jumpers during this cold time. Admittedly the ripped fabric adds an extra chill when you step outside your front door having forgotten what you're wearing, but hey, this is fashion not comfort, Blog Reader
This Vivienne Westwood Anglomania coat is one of those wonderful styles, half cape, half jacket, that makes me feel cocooned when I wear it. I know this will stay with me for years through the autumn winter seasons, and I particularly like the wide sleeves that make it compatible with a range of things worn under it (I just can't abide a tight-fitting coat, unless perhaps military styles, that means I can't layer well in the cold).
During my December travels I wore my Majdan Rocks Slope Ring often. I'm not an avid wearer of jewelry but this ring is a wonderfully substantial piece to show off; modern in style and a little quirky. Majdan Rocks are currently sold on the Luisaviaroma website which is testament to the success of the brand. A little bit of daring with a lot of understated elegance, do check out designer Iwona Majdan's website for more in this series.

Trim abdominal fat with food choices
1. Eat like a Mediterranean. The Mediterranean eating pattern, which is rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables; moderate in olive oil, fish and alcohol; and modest in dairy, meats and sweets, has been shown to reduce abdominal obesity.
2. Limit refined grains. According to Cynthia Sass, M.P.H., M.A., R.D., C.S.S.D., dietitian and co-author of the "Flat Belly Diet": "Eliminate refined grains, like white rice and pasta, and include a small serving of a 100 percent whole grain at each meal. Published research shows this nutrition upgrade helps reduce belly fat." Switch from refined grains, such as foods made from refined flours, to whole grains, including wheat, oats, quinoa, barley, amaranth, rye and bulgur.
3. Include nuts. Eating as little as a quarter ounce of daily tree nuts, such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, pistachios and hazelnuts, has been linked with lower abdominal fat.
4. Choose more bean-based meals.
"Regular bean eaters have smaller waistlines; I recommend trading meat for beans or lentils at least five times per week," says Sass.
5. Cut "empty" calories. A high intake of low nutrient-density foods, such as sugary beverages, sweets and snack foods is related to increased central obesity.
6. Focus on fiber-rich foods. Eating high-fiber foods, such as lentils, artichokes, berries and oat bran, is associated with lower abdominal fat.
7. Eat dairy foods. Including dairy foods, such as low-fat milk, yogurt and moderate amounts of cheese, is associated with lower central obesity.
8. Enjoy wine in moderation. Lower central obesity has been observed in women with moderate (one glass per day) wine consumption.

Former Berkeley Stags great Omar Brown has won a Super Bowl ring.
Brown, a defensive back, is a member of the world champion Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens defeated San Francisco Sunday in New Orleans.
This time last year, for Brown, just getting the opportunity to play in the NFL was a wishful dream.
This past football season Brown took those dreams and rode them all the way to New Orleans. And he brought his family with him.
Joining the Baltimore Ravens' rookie defensive back at the Super Dome were his mother Stella McKelvey, and younger brothers Kory Brown and Evan McKelvey.
Both younger brothers also play Division I college football, Kory at Kentucky, and Evan, like his big brother, at Marshall.
For Stella it's all about the journey with her sons.
"It's been a long journey to get here and we're so thankful and happy to be where we are today," she said. "We've been praying and praying and praying, day by day for Omar. He put so much hard work into this and it is finally paying off for him."
Decked out in her Ravens and Marshall gear, McKelvey flew out of Charleston on Friday afternoon to meet up with her sons in New Orleans. There, they were joined by former Berkeley assistant and current Barnwell head football coach Ed Moore, to enjoy Super Bowl weekend festivities and catch Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday night.
Omar signed with the Ravens as a free agent last August and survived training camp cuts to play on the team's practice squad. In November, management activated the defensive back and Brown made his NFL debut wearing number 38.
"Seeing Omar on TV for the first time … well, I am a big football fan and I just went crazy," McKelvey said. "I got real quiet. I was nervous for him."
While playing mostly special teams and punt coverage, Brown impressed both teammates and coaches enough to remain on the active roster through the playoffs and into Super Bowl.
Brother Kory, a linebacker and defensive back for the Kentucky Wildcats, said that Omar caught the eye of head coach John Harbaugh who said, "He has a nose for the ball. He's special."
"Omar is playing alongside his idols Ray Lewis and Ed Reed," Brown said. "Reed said of Omar, 'He reminds me of me.'"
Kory couldn't be more proud of his big brother, saying his brother earned this opportunity through years of hard work.
"It's a blessing and I couldn't be more excited for him," he said. "Most people use the term 'you deserve it,' but I personally feel that no one deserves anything, you earn it, and he has done just that. All his life he's been working his butt off and grinding hard for everything he ever wanted."
"His work ethic is mind-blowing, and when I hear it from others, in the back of my head I'm like, oh yeah, that sounds like O."
Having three sons playing major college football and now one making the next step to the NFL is quite the family accomplishment and it does not go unnoticed with their mother.
"They all make me proud," she said. "Omar is so well-deserving. It goes beyond words almost right now. I'm a proud momma.
"I just thank God, my family, and Lord knows, Coach Moore, and all the Berkeley Stags."

Fla. unemployment rate drops to 7.5 percent
Gov. touts jobs numbers
Gov. Rick Scott announced Friday morning that the state's unemployment rate is still dropping.
The March unemployment figures show Florida's jobless rate dropped to 7.5 percent.
Florida's unemployment dipped to its lowest level in more than four years in February to 7.7 percent. It's the lowest jobless rate in Florida since October 2008 when unemployment stood at 7.4 percent.
Scott announced the latest dip in Naples.
Scott has spent much of his time in recent weeks reminding Floridians that things have gotten better since he took office in January 2011. Scott ran on a promise to create 700,000 new jobs in Florida over a seven-year period.
Scott, during his Naples visit, also plans to renew his call for legislators to approve a tax cut for manufacturers he is seeking.
To view the unemployment data visit Floridajobs.org.

Rainwater harvesting systems range from the simple and inexpensive to the elaborate and costly. If you are considering a rainwater harvesting system it is important to calculate the total amount of water than could be captured, stored, and used in a year with typical rainfall patterns. Using your local water and wastewater rates you can calculate the value of the saved water and determine if the system is cost effective.
On the simple and inexpensive end of the spectrum are rain barrels. A 57 gallon rain barrel with a cover, overflow hose, and hose bib connection costs about $100. If this barrel can be filled and used 20 times during the irrigation season approximately 1,100 gallons of water can be saved. At a value of $3 per 1000 gallons you can see that these devices would not be particularly cost effective, but they can save some water.
A mid-sized rainwater harvesting system may employ a series of rain barrels or a small storage tank. These systems have about 500 gallons of storage capacity and cost $350 - $500. Polyethylene storage tanks are available for between $0.30 and $0.60 per gallon. If a 500 gallon system can be filled and used 20 times during an irrigation season then 10,000 gallons of water can be saved valued at approximately $30 (depending upon local rates).
A larger residential rainwater harvesting system might have storage capacity of 2500 gallons. At a price of $0.50 per gallon, a 2,500 gallon polyethylene storage tank costs $1,250. Total installed cost for the system could be as much as $2,000. With one inch of rainfall, a 3,000 square foot roof catchment area with 80% efficiency can provide approximately 1,440 gallons of water to the storage tank. In an area that receives 30 inches of rain per year, approximately 43,000 gallons of water could theoretically be captured, stored, and used. The value of the saved water would be approximately $130 (at $3 per 1000 gallons).

Sunday night's 61st Primetime Emmy Awards got off to a big yuk even though the first winner of the evening, Kristin Chenoweth, dissolved into tears as she accepted her golden statuette as best supporting actress in a comedy series – ABC's canceled Pushing Daisies.
"I don't know why I'm crying," she said, after thanking her parents. "I'm unemployed now, and I'd like to be on Mad Men. I also like The Office and '24'." Chenoweth concluded by thanking the TV Academy for recognizing a show no longer on the air.
Laughs were the order of the night. When Alec Baldwin delivered his Emmy acceptance speech for best actor in a comedy series, the 30 Rock star, grabbing his statuette from presenter Rob Lowe, told the crowd, "I'd trade this to look like him."
Supporting actor in a sitcom, Jon Cryer, took the Emmy for CBS's Two and a Half Men. Accepting, he said he used to think awards were shallow displays of popularity, while now he sees that they recognize true achievement. He also said of costar Charlie Sheen, "He's amazing."
In something of an upset, Toni Collette was named best actress in a comedy series for Showtime's The United States of Tara over such contenders as Tina Fey, Christina Applegate and Sarah Silverman, who donned a mustache as presenter Justin Timberlake called her name from among the nominees. "That's what hormones'll do," he said.
Accepting her award, Collette called her victory "insanely confronting."
The evening's emcee, How I Met Your Mother supporting actor in a comedy series nominee Neil Patrick Harris, who rocked Radio City Music Hall as the host of June's Tony Awards, again demonstrated he can sing, dance and deliver jokes with the best of them.
On the stage of Los Angeles's Nokia Theater, he stopped the show with the opening musical number, "Put Down That Remote," recapping highlights of the past TV season, and then announced that he grew up on television. When he lost in his category to Jon Cryer, he later interrupted the winner in the press room, to have him double-check the envelope, to make sure Cryer really won.
The night's first win for 30 Rock was the Emmy for the writing of the "Reunion" episode, in which Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) found out she was considered cruel – and not cool – back in school.
Among the big questions hanging over the night were the two top-nominated shows and whether they would repeat their top-prize status of last year: NBC's 30 Rock, with 22 nods – the most in history for a comedy series – and AMC's drama Mad Men, with 16, including those for leading players Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss.
30 Rock's creator, producer and star, Tina Fey, already received a Creative Emmy last weekend, for her Saturday Night Light parodies of GOP Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
Also on the fans' minds: Will the season's No. 1 show, FOX's American Idol, finally take away the best reality show crown from CBS's Amazing Race? When the winner was announced, The Amazing Race won again.
On the E! Red Carpet before the show, last year's Emmy's winning Survivor host Jeff Probst told Idol host Ryan Seacrest he'd be perfectly happy if either of them were named this year's best reality host. But if Dancing with the Stars's Tom Bergeron's name were to show up in the envelope, Probst would storm the stage and pull a Kanye – referring to West's interruption of Taylor Swift at last weekend's MTV Video Music Awards.
Probst didn't have to interrupt. He won.

The group forming a battle plan against graffiti set a cleanup day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 20, with April 27 as the rain date.
Councilman Rick Drummond, who's been the moderator for the anti-graffiti group meetings, with assistance from Councilwoman Cyndi Baronzzi Dickey and Councilman Clyde Brown, said they'll announce where volunteers should meet when it gets closer to the date.
For now, they'll be trying to line up as many people as they can to participate in the cleanup and iron out the details, such as addresses of properties needing graffiti cleaned up, contacting property owners, getting a liability waiver form in place for property owners to sign and gathering cleanup materials to remove graffiti.
"Hopefully we'll have enough participants," Drummond said.
Six residents attended the group's meeting Tuesday, along with Drummond, Dickey, Brown and Councilman Jeff Cushman.
The next meeting is set for 6 p.m. March 12 in city hall council chambers. Drummond told a new person who attended the meeting that he'd by lying if he didn't say he was disappointed with the turnout at the meetings, but said he's thankful there are some people who are thinking of the community.
Some people involved in the committee couldn't attend the meeting, but are still involved and working on different aspects of the plans.
At the last meeting, an email address was established where Salem residents and businesses can report graffiti at email@example.com. The information will be forwarded to the police department so the graffiti can be tracked.
Drummond said they're also working on getting a spot on the city hall phone line where people can call in tips about graffiti. The information will be recorded and checked on a regular basis. They just need to work out the details on who will monitor the messages.
With graffiti, he said the whole idea is to get rid of it quickly. They're trying to encourage businesses and citizens to clean up graffiti right away when it happens, but they're willing to help out to get rid of it.
Plans call for trying to enlist the help of community service workers and boy scouts or other community groups during the cleanup day.
Dickey reported that Jock Buta of Butech-Bliss has already offered $500 toward materials and has already gone out with some of his people to clean up some graffiti. Group members talked about approaching businesses about donating products for cleanup in exchange for advertising the fact that the business helped.
Cushman reported that he approached Salem Schools Superintendent Tom Bratten about starting an anti-graffiti curriculum in the schools and was directed to speak to Cathy Sanor, who is the director of curriculum. He said Bratten seemed very receptive to the idea.
Dickey also suggested having students work on a logo for the anti-graffiti campaign.
Lisa Cartwright read an email the group received from a citizen regarding graffiti on Hollyhock and the fact that some refuse containers have been hit. The citizen thanked them for making an effort to tackle the problem. The group talked about contacting some of the refuse companies about taking care of the graffiti on their containers.
The group is part of an effort by members of the Rules & Ordinances Committee of City Council to approach the graffiti problem in a positive way with community involvement. The committee chaired by Drummond with Brown and Dickey as members previously considered an ordinance to force property owners to remove graffiti within a certain amount of time.

In my last post, you learned that no one cares how good you are if they don't know who you are. Social media literacy is an essential skill for all artists to master. And by social media literacy, I don't mean being able to create a facebook event, or tweet about your breakfast, or add friends on Myspace. My 10-year-old cousin can do that. I mean being able to effectively use social media to self-promote and create a lasting, active community that will continue to support you.
When using any social media tool, there are 5 important rules to follow:
Building community, making a personal connection, and actively engaging your audience is not only important, it is necessary to set yourself apart from everybody else. Be authentic and be yourself.

After more than five decades, Barbara Walters is hanging up her microphone.
The veteran ABC News anchor, 83, said Monday morning on The View – the show she started in 1997 – that she will retire from TV journalism next summer.
"Let me just say I have been on television continuously for over 50 years. But in the summer of '14 I plan to retire from appearing on television at all. ... I'm perfectly healthy. This is my decision. This is what I want to do," Walters told her audience, which in the studio included Disney CEO (and therefore head of ABC) Bob Iger – who suggested once he also retires that both he and Walters go on Dancing with the Stars.
Fellow Bostonian Michael Bloomberg – who now happens to be Mayor of New York City – also showed up, and told Walters she is his hero.
"I love you," Walters told the mayor, "even if you don't like very tall soft drinks."
ABC said in an announcement late Sunday that. despite Monday's announcement, Walters will continue to anchor and report for the network, anchor specials throughout the year and appear on The View.
"I am very happy with my decision," Walters said, "and look forward to a wonderful and special year ahead."
She added: "I want instead to sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women – and, okay, some men, too – who will be taking my place."
Walters has spent 37 years at ABC News, joining the network in 1976 to become the first female co-anchor on an evening news program. Three years later, she became a co-host of ABC's 20/20 newsmagazine.
Before coming to ABC, she spent 15 years at NBC News, where she was a co-host of the Today show – after first only being hired for 13 weeks, she pointed out on Monday's The View.
After that, she interviewed world leaders, movie stars from Bette Davis to Angelina Jolie and every President and First Lady from the Nixons to the Obamas.

Baseball Game Management Tool
By WKZ1
from Houston, Texas
Levenger sent this pocket briefcase to me as a promotional gift with the order of another item. Otherwise, I would not have discovered it.I am a baseball umpire (high school games). Umpires must keep notes during the game to record courtesy runners, substitutes, player reentries, defensive conferences (only 3 allowed during regular game time), and be prepared to take notes for purposes of an ejection report if necessary (i.e. jersey numbers, names, facts, descriptions, etc.).Umpire equipment stores sell pocket sized note books for game management purposes with a formatted two-sided plastic card used for pencil notations that can be easily erased and reused. This plastic card fits nicely into the Levenger pocket briefcase, and the 3 x 5 lined cards that Levenger provides are perfect for efficiently making unformatted notations. The Levenger pocket briefcase is less bulky than the official note books because it is thinner in design. Therefore, the Levenger pocket briefcase is more easily and swiftly inserted and removed from a back pants pocket or shirt pocket during a baseball game. This eliminates embarrassing delays arising from a struggle to remove or reinsert notes into an umpire's pocket.Finally, this pocket briefcase serves as a great hand held writing surface (like a mini clip board) when notating line up forms submitted by coaches, as well as facilitating coaches' signatures affirming that the players are all legally equipped at the pre-game plate conference.I have found this pocket briefcase indispensable, and carry it with me on the field during every baseball game.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Little Organizer!
By TheAdministrator
from Lacey, WA
We find the Pocket Briefcase very convenient. It has added a new depth to functionality. We would recommend a minor addition to the design. Since we use it for extensive notes during floor walks, it would actually be enhanced by a firm insert. It would make notes easier to write when you do not have a firm surface on which to write. Thank you for an amazing product.
Just what I was looking for
By Roberto
from Alexandria, VA
I was in the process of getting organized - I needed something portable but professional. I spend about a third of my time at my computer and my company will not allow syncing of our phones with their system - I never found using my phone's task list helpful. The pocket briefcase is professional looking, always handy, and keeps me on task. More convenient than a notepad!
Get's the job done.
By Sasha
from New York, NY
Really well designed and simple accessory that helps me keep organized and capture the ideas pouring out. It's also much more compact than most Moleskin like devices and I like that I only carry the cards/paper I want and not legacy notes from earlier dates that are now irrelevant.
A Great Little Note Holder
By BethBarbara
from Forest Hill, MD
My husband has had one of these pocket "briefcases" for many years now. Recently, he ran out of note cards, prompting me to order more for him. I took a chance and ordered four more pocket briefcases for gifts (and one for me!). I love it, and I hope the people I give gifts to will enjoy it as well. Each comes with a sufficient number of additional cards to get you started.
Perfect for law enforcement
By JoeNYC
As a federal law enforcement officer I am usually in a suit and tie. When conducting interviews or taking notes I don't like to carry a pad folio or a notepad, I like to keep my hands free for the obvious reasons. This pocket briefcase is sleek, slim and fits perfectly in a suit jacket or shirt pocket. Great for law enforcement!!
Where's the pen?
By Jabbi
from Springfield, MA
This is a great product; bought as a gift, for father's day, that was well received.Only wish: that it came with a pen.
Cave Man's Blackberry
By COLChis
from Virginia Beach VA
I refer to this product as my Cave Man's Blackberry. Unlike the electronic version, the Essential Pocket Briefcase can survive the laundry and needs no power outlet. I never have to say, "Let me get a piece of paper..." as this item is with me every waking hour. Well made, looks good and fits in the board room or the garage.
Fantastic Tool
By Croy
from Denver, CO
I've used this briefcase before, I lost my previous version! It's a fantastic tool, for casual meetings, happy hours, anywhere you are doing business on a social level...almost every time i pull it out I receive a question or comment. Great product!
By cygnet
from Undisclosed
I bought my first one over five years ago. I carry it with me every day and use it constantly. I discovered one was not enough and now own several. One is always in my purse. One is in my scrubs jacket pocket. One is in my car. I love these so much that I bought them for the doctors I work with. I also buy these for graduates. My husband uses the one I bought for him all the time.

Texas takes water feud with NM to US Supreme Court
Texas has sued New Mexico at the U.S. Supreme Court in a fight over water from the Rio Grande.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality says the suit was filed Tuesday after negotiations with New Mexico were unsuccessful. TCEQ says New Mexico is violating the 1938 Rio Grande Compact that governs how water is shared by Texas, New Mexico and Colorado.
TCEQ accuses New Mexico of allowing illegal diversions of surface and underground water. Officials say those diversions take away water from Texas farmers and residents in El Paso.
Texas officials say they tried to negotiate a solution earlier, only to have New Mexico initiate legal action on the same day as their meetings.
Officials in New Mexico did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

- Sunday 6-8am
The sister show to Raag Aur Taal, this show focuses exclusively on the ragas of classical Indian music that are traditionally listened to at dawn or during the early morning. The Hindi/Urdu word "raag" is derived from the Sanskrit "raga" which means "color, or passion." The raga is not a tune, melody, scale, mode, or any concept for which an English word exists. Instead, a raag functions both as description and prescription; it describes a general melodic practice, while it prescribes rules on how to build a certain melody. Compositions in Indian classical music are built on the rules of a raag. The notion of the morning raga may then be thought of as an aural method of coloring the mind of the listener, through a combination of various acoustic characteristics, with sentiments that complement the morning atmosphere.

Put people first
Fifteen years ago last month, my best friend Millicent Bradsher died instantly when she overcorrected while driving on I-95 and wrecked into a tree in the median.
In the weeks and months following her death, I'd drive to the spot and stare at that tree for hours.
I'd imagine it as the seed and sapling it once was, and then I'd picture it growing and becoming the massive pine it was on the day its mere presence contributed to ending my beautiful friend's life.
Millie missed the chance to marry, have children and enrich the lives of perhaps thousands of special needs children she'd worked so hard to teach. Without trees in the median that day, maybe she'd have gotten that chance. If removing the trees from the median along I-26 will spare even one life, or prevent just one family from suffering the loss we have, it's the right decision. We can replace trees, but we can't replace Millicent or other precious lives gone too soon.

Hooray for hedges
I am responding to the S.C. Department of Transportation's plan to cut down the trees in the median on I-26 between Exit 199 and Exit 170.
If the DOT can cut these trees down without penalty then I should be allowed to cut down the trees I want to on my property. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander.
A letter to the editor March 6 suggests "hedgerows" be planted in the median instead. If, as the letter writer suggests, they can stop tanks as they did during WWII, they should work better and be cheaper than cutting down trees and installing a wire barrier.
With no trees, the headlights of cars coming in the opposite direction will blind drivers at night and result in more accidents.
Anyone else think so? Contact SCDOT and tell them.

Feeding a problem
Isn't it ironic that individuals who love animals the most and can't resist feeding them are the very ones who often contribute to their deaths?
Do these individuals believe that wild animals can't find enough food naturally or do they enjoy seeing them? Many of us feed songbirds because we enjoy seeing them.
It was most disappointing to read the recent article "Folly's raccoons hit by distemper" from the perspective of a Folly Beach resident who has fed these animals for 25 years, and to learn that the president of Pet Helpers has a feeding station for raccoons and other wild animals outside her Folly Beach home.
Feeding raccoons, deer or any wild animal does not in the long run benefit them.
Feeding wild animals draws them into a small area and allows the population to expand beyond the natural capacity of the environment.Diseases are more likely to develop and spread, and in urban areas other residents are likely to complain about habitat destruction (deer), increased messes (raccoons) or safety (foxes, bobcats, coyotes, bear). The ultimate result is an increased public sentiment that populations of such animals should be eliminated or reduced.
Let wild animals be wild. Do not feed them.

Revenue growth
For growing companies in South Carolina it's time to apply for the national Inc. Magazine's 500/5,000 List.
Based on three years of company financials, Inc. Magazine ranks and publishes a widely read annual roster of 5,000 USA-based, privately held companies experiencing the most year-over-year revenue growth. The top 10 percent are known as the Inc. 500 — the fastest growing companies in America. Companies from all 50 states are submitting their applications now. http://www.inc.com/inc5000apply.
Four years ago, zero S.C. companies made the Inc. list. However, over the last three years, growing companies from Greenville to Columbia to Charleston have come forward to compete for national rankings. In 2012, approximately 44 Palmetto State companies made the Inc. list.
Business owners and CEOs of newly ranked Inc. 500/5,000 companies have bolstered their national industry rankings and earnings power. Inc. Magazine ranked Charleston's own BoomTown LLC, a web-based software company specializing in marketing for real estate professionals, No. 8 in the U.S. software industry, and No. 96 overall on its 31st annual fast-growing company roster.
For four years, our firm has worked pro bono to advance this annual business growth strategy into every nook and cranny of South Carolina.
Will your Palmetto State company make this year's Inc. list? The deadline is April 30. The 2013 list results are published late August.

Misleading bill
Put yourself in my shoes: As an expectant mother, I might not be permitted to choose where or with whom I deliver my baby. If House Bill 3731 passes, this scenario will occur. Deceptively named "The Lay Midwife Act," H. 3731 covertly makes home birth illegal in South Carolina by requiring "direct supervision" by a doctor at every midwife-attended home birth.
Liability insurance and hospital policies make it virtually impossible for S.C. doctors to attend home births. This makes it illegal for nationally certified, highly trained certified nurse midwives and certified professional midwives to attend home births, while placing women like me in a vulnerable position.
It strips me of my rights to choose where and with whom I have my child. It forces me into a system I would not have chosen and exposes me and my child to risks that occur with unnecessary medical interventions or new superbug infections. Decades of research have shown that low- risk births with a midwife are as safe as hospital births. Since only 0.50 percent of S.C. women elect home birth, why are lawmakers attempting to take this freedom from us? Safety is not the issue.
Qualified professionals are and have been present to assist in our births. Help us keep this freedom by asking your representatives to vote no to H. 3731. Supporting H. 3731 is a step back for women's health care in South Carolina.

Uneven reflection
Thanks to Project XX for shedding light on how the S.C. citizenry should be represented on the boards that govern the eight very important universities around our state. By bringing to light the S.C. law regarding make-up of these boards — that they "shall strive to assure that the membership of the board is representative of all citizens of the State of S.C.," we now have a good understanding of how this complicated process works.
Melanie Balog's March 10 column illustrates that none of the eight universities comes close to adhering to the above mandate. (MUSC's board is 100 percent male; our state is 51 percent female.) How did we get so far off the rails? Does our Legislature understand the law? Who is in charge here?

Wishful thinking
I wish that one morning I could read that Sen. John McCain had resigned his seat. My reasoning is that if this was the story, I'm sure I would also read that Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina had too resigned. Both, in my opinion, are first-class RINOs.

I've never been a car person, but it looks like I'm going to have to start paying more attention.
For the last few years, the auto industry and the tech industry have been on a collision course (or "heading down the same road," if you prefer). Having conquered the living room, the music industry and our phones, tech companies have their sights set next on what we drive.
And auto companies want to be more like Apple and Google, turning your next car, truck or SUV into always-connected "Infotainment" centers, complete with apps, more advanced navigation capabilities, voice recognition and lots of touch screens.
If you followed some of the news from last month's Los Angeles Auto Show, you might have heard announcements about Sprint bringing a wireless system called Velocity to two Chrysler vehicles – the 2013 RAM 1500 truck and the SRT Viper – and about General Motors incorporating Apple's Siri voice tech into the Chevy Spark and Sonic for 2014.
My own car, a 2007 Prius, has rolled up more than 150,000 miles, and I've started to look around at what's out there as I consider a trade-in. The tech inside cars has changed dramatically since the last time I bought one, and the wireless-enabled, iPad-influenced cabin-as-holodeck experience you can get today is just the start.
Automakers are in the unenviable position of trying to match or exceed the kind of polish and utility people expect from their tech gadgets, but also to provide it in a safe way that doesn't distract drivers.
They appear to be realizing the scale of that challenge.
Last month, General Motors hosted journalists at its southeast Austin call center where a new division has been created to handle "infotainment" support. Staffed primarily by tech-savvy Millennials, this part of the call center is a dark geek cave of a command center where iPads and other tablet devices lie around like party favors.
Staffers answer questions from customers as well as dealerships about the tech features in GM cars and also monitor social networks or engage in email and live Web chat conversations about tech features.
It's part of a much larger effort within the company to model the help people get after they buy cars on Apple's Genius Bar experience. GM's 4,500 dealerships will get more training and a designated tech person on site to deal with common problems like pairing up Bluetooth-enabled cellphones with a car's tech system.
The company recently hired 25 tech-savvy "Connected Customer Specialists" deployed to its top auto markets. Mark Harland, the GM Connected Customer Experience manager, says that technology is the key to the resurgence of GM and the U.S. auto industry.
"We're starting to think differently about the technology we put in our cars," Harland said. "Let's not just throw technology at people and assume that they'll naturally gravitate toward it and know how it works."
The challenge is serving young, tech-savvy customers (who typically are buying less expensive cars), and older, more affluent buyers who may be purchasing a fully loaded Cadillac with an entertainment system that has a steep learning curve. Providing a bad tech experience can invite a near-instant burst of negative word-of-mouth online.
"People get into a vehicle and they can't figure out the damn thing. Then they get online and bash it," Harland said. "We want to push the edge with the technology, but not to overwhelm people."
GM's line of tech systems includes CUE on its Cadillacs and MyLink and IntelliLink in other models, systems with software that can be continually updated by dealerships as improvements are made and bugs are fixed. On a high-end Cadillac I rode in, I found the gorgeous tech system balky to use with bad menu design and an unresponsive touch screen. Reporters who had taken Cadillacs home to try out said they had similar problems. No matter how expensive the car, it doesn't mean it'll provide a seamless gadget experience.
We're at the beginning of this marriage between our smart phones and tablets and the insides of our cars. If I had to pick five features to wish for in the future, they'd be:
• True distraction-free driving. This is already available as an app feature on some phones, but I'd love a built-in option to automatically put my phone into no-texts, no-alerts mode when I'm in motion.
• More choice in navigation. You can opt to have a pricey navigation system set up in a new car or bring your own GPS or smartphone/ tablet. It would be great if you had the option to switch between them and have whatever you prefer automatically integrated into the car's screen. Apple's recent Maps fiasco showed us that locking users into one kind of mapping software is a recipe for disaster.
• Better ways to navigate music and nav options on the go. Switching between options like satellite radio, an external music device or FM/AM usually requires bouncing around dashboard buttons to switch modes. Maybe Siri integration will lead the way toward fixing this, but there needs to be a much smarter system for aggregating information on all your music options, like what TiVo does for TV and online video. And it should all be controllable with voice-activated commands.
• More voice. In fact, everything in the car should have a voice-activated option, from rolling down the windows ("Fresh air, please") to being guided to an available parking spot.
• Driverless cars. Companies, including Google, are already working on this, but it can't happen soon enough for me. I'd love to turn over the wheel to an AI system that gets me where I want to go, avoids traffic and is completely safe without me even touching the steering wheel. I'm sure it could do a better job than me as a driver.

The Moncks Corner Regional Recreation Complex includes athletic fields, a community center, a farmers market ... all these amenities designed to bring the community together.
Now, the community has stepped in to help the complexs construction to the finish line.
Foxbank LLC, the developers at Foxbank subdivision, donated $90,000 worth of topsoil for use on the football and soccer fields last week.
Without this dirt wed have us a couple of sand piles out there, said Moncks Corner Public Services Director Butch Svagerko.
Mayor Bill Peagler said the loads of topsoil had a value of $90,000 to the town.
I sincerely appreciate the donation of 5,000 cubic yards of topsoil from the developers of Foxbank Plantation, the mayor said. Jeff Randolph and Matt Bruner are stepping up as many other builders, contractors, church groups, civic clubs and developers have done to assist the Town of Moncks Corner with construction of the Moncks Corner Regional Recreation Complex.
The $90,000 estimated value of the topsoil is derived from the volume of dirt plus the vehichles and manpower to deliver the dirt from Foxbank to the rec centers Main Street location in Moncks Corner.
The donation of topsoil and the donated delivery from Foxbank will enable the town to prepare the new football and soccer fields in the recreation complex for grassing at the perfect time of the year, Peagler said.
Such help as the complex nears completion doesnt go unnoticed.
I appreciate all efforts of the private sector to assist the town with this and other worthwhile projects, the mayor said. Working together makes a real difference to the town and our taxpayers.
Peagler went on to say that he is pleased that Southard Brothers Construction is so involved in the project.
It is very helpful to have a local contractor with ties to our recreation program so involved with this project. Jason and Lee Southard take great pride in their work on this project and it is great to see their father Eddy Southard giving them a hand.

LORETTO - When the St. Francis women's basketball team fires on all cylinders, there probably isn't a team in the Northeast Conference that can beat it.
The Red Flash were just that good Saturday afternoon.
The defense was suffocating and the offense took control, and there wasn't anything Mount St. Mary's could do about it as the Red Flash pounded the Mountaineers, 83-59, at DeGol Arena on Pink Day.
"We played hard at the beginning of the game, and we played with a lot of energy," St. Francis coach Joe Haigh said. "I thought we did a great job. It was fun to watch."
The St. Francis defense was suffocating from the start and forced Mount St. Mary's into 27 turnovers.
Not exactly the effort Mountaineers coach Bryan Whitten expected.
"We don't turn the ball over a lot, but the last three games we have - for whatever reason," he said. "We definitely didn't expect to turn it over as much as we did tonight."
It wasn't just the defense that was clicking for the Red Flash (13-9, 8-3), either.
St. Francis was 20-for-39 (51 percent) from the floor for 48 points in the first half alone.
Five different players hit a 3-pointer - Kia Gibbs had two - as the Red Flash were 6-for-14 (43 percent) from long range in the first 20 minutes.
"We actually made shots," Haigh said. "One of the referees came over and said, 'Wow, your kids can shoot the ball.' But we were playing free. We were playing fast. It was great to see."
But the real offensive excitement didn't start until a third of the way through the second half.
With 13:55 remaining in the game, and the Flash already up by 23, Rebecca Sparks ignited the most impressive 8-0 run of the season for St. Francis.
After Sparks found Alli Williams on the offensive end for a layup, Alexa Hayward intercepted the ensuing inbounds play and dribbled twice before dishing a no-look, behind-the-back dart to Hailey Carangelo for the easy lay-in.
The Mountaineers (9-13, 5-6) turned the ball over again, and after a string of quick passes, Williams scored on a nice feed from Carangelo.
And for the exclamation point, Hayward threaded the needle to Williams on St. Francis' next possession for the easy two.
It only took the Red Flash 1:05 to blow out to a 31-point lead.
Williams finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds for her 16th double-double of the season and 11th straight. Gibbs had 11 points, while each player scored at least two points for St. Francis.
"This is the way we want to play," Haigh said. "Everyone got in the game. Everyone scored. But we played fast the whole time. The ball was moving around, people were flying around. People were making shots and our defense was great.
"That's the [run] that stands out in my mind. It was awesome."
Haigh was admittedly worried about Saturday's game, especially after Monday's meltdown at LIU Brooklyn.
Not only that, but Brittany Lilley did not play due to a team violation.
"Mount as a team, I think, is probably just a notch below Quinnipiac as far as putting four shooters on the floor, taking high-percentage shots," Haigh said. "They're a very good offensive team, and that worried me coming in.
"I was very worried about this game, especially being down one player. But the other people stepped up and played great."
St. Francis begins a three-game road trip on Monday at Robert Morris, just two weeks removed from its hard-fought, 72-63 victory over the Colonials.
"It is a huge rivalry game, and usually Robert Morris plays some of its best games of the year against us," Haigh said. "I don't anticipate too much different on their part. They are going to try to slow the game down and hold the ball on offense. Last time, we pressed and wore them down, so they're going to try and stop us from doing that.
"We have to play like we did today. We have to keep the pace of the game up."

A 16-year-old Burgard High School sophomore has been charged with second-degree assault and accused of hurting the school principal, Buffalo police reported Wednesday.
Principal Brian Wiesinger suffered a four-inch laceration of his left hand on Friday as he broke of a fight between the female teen and another female student, police said.
The girl – who broke a window during the fight before Wiesinger was injured – was arrested about 11 a.m. at the Kensington Avenue school, police reported, and charged by Officer Thomas English with the felony assault.

The state's largest school district will have a new member elected Tuesday.
Incumbent Angela Monson and Former State Sen. Lynne Hardin are both vying for a seat on the Oklahoma City school board.
"The biggest focus is still the same focus, improving the academic performance of students and to do that means everybody needs to double efforts," said Monson.
"What bothers me is that we don't have access, we're not involving the people, we're not engaging the people," said Hardin. "There's no follow through, there's no leadership, there's no commitment to get it done."
Oklahoma City school board seats for the first and second district are also up for grabs. Polls open Tuesday at 7 a.m.

Spoleto Festival USA always has offered its patrons glimpses of different cultures and traditions, from operatic melodrama to Greek tragedy, from South American tango to Spanish flamenco, from jazz and bluegrass to traditional Asian music and dance.
The 2013 festival, scheduled for May 24-June 9, is especially international, judging from the program to be announced Monday. The festival is presenting nearly 160 performances by 45 artistic ensembles, and many of them showcase not only talented performers from around the world, but their unique cultural expressions.
Artists and companies are coming to Charleston from Italy, the U.K., South Africa, Japan, China, Spain, Russia, Korea, Mali, France, Brazil, Israel, Finland and India.
General Director Nigel Redden called the 37th Spoleto Festival broad and inclusive.
Weve reacted to a climate of financial constraint, he said, but not by cutting programming.
Instead, the festival is trimming its overhead costs, nipping gently at the annual budget, which remains about $6.1 million this year.
A huge blockbuster production might not be part of the festival this year, but a slew of miniature and medium-size blockbusters more than compensate for it.
Indian dancer Shantala Shivalingappa, a master of the ancient Kuchipudi dance form, returns to Charleston with the mystical program Swayambhu. Brazil is represented by Compagnie Kafig and its Algerian-French artistic director and choreographer, Mourad Merzouki. He created a pair of works that combine samba, hip-hop and capoeira. That ought to be energetic.
Ballet Flamenco de Andalucia, with star dancers Pastora Galvan and Rocio Molina in tow, will present a refined Spanish show thats likely to get the heart thumping audibly. The U.S. is represented by tapper Jared Grimes, who will present a new show created for the festival. Grimes, wholl be 30 next year, danced in the subway stations of New York City after he moved there in 2001. A few years later, he was an up-and-coming star.
Two opera productions (featuring three operas) shine the spotlight on women suffering from thwarted love, romantic and maternal. The Japanese opera Matsukaze, which means wind in the pines, by Toshio Hosokawa features a cast of young Korean vocalists singing in German (yup, German) and directed by Chen Shi-Zheng. who is Chinese.
The opera, based on the traditional Japanese Noh play, presents the spirits of two sisters condemned to wander the Earth until they can be released from the bonds of an ancient love.
The music is ravishing, Redden said. A chorus imitates mist, rain, wind, providing a meteorological background to the story. Ma, the silence between things, is a critical aspect of the work which, like calligraphy, requires gestures that start before the sound is made (or the pen touches paper) and continues after the sound has stopped (and the pen has lifted), he said.
The other opera production is a pairing of two short works, Mese Mariano by Umberto Giordano, an example of the verisimo (true to life) style, and Le Ville by Giacomo Puccini, an early example of that composers work and his first opera. Yearning, scorn, vengeance, love and death thats what its all about.
Other performances
For those looking for other very serious performances, there is the Nottingham Theatres powerful version of Oedipus, adapted by actor-director Steven Berkoff, who also plays Creon in this production.
The other play on offer is a newly made A Midsummer Nights Dream by Shakespeare, created by Tom Morris and Handspring Puppet Company. Morris is the man responsible for the Tony Award-winning War Horse, and, yes, puppets are very much involved in this show, too.
No Spoleto Festival would be complete without a little quirkiness. For that, try The Intergalactic Nemesis, described as a live-action graphic novel, or Bullet Catch, a monologue by Rob Drummond that explores the history of that magic bullet trick. Mayday Mayday stars Tristan Sturrock, who recounts a traumatic injury that nearly stopped him.
The Wells Fargo Jazz Series, produced by Michael Grofsorean, features singer Gregory Porter; the progressive bluegrass band Punch Brothers (these fellows, led by mandolin master Chris Thile, played the 2008 festival); the Israeli tenor sax player Eli Degibri; Brazilian pianist-composer Andre Mehmari, who returns to the festival for the third time to play an eclectic program with Ze Alexandre and Sergio Reze; the Finnish pianist Iiro Rantala; and the honky-tonk Red Stick Ramblers.
Joseph Flummerfelt, artistic director for choral activities, retires this year and goes out with a very big bang: a performance of Verdis monumental Requiem. Joe Miller will continue to lead the Westminster Choir, as he has for several years, adding new administrative duties to his widening plate.
Visual art, music, etc.
And visual art, too, will be part of the mix.
The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art is presenting Rebound: Dissections and Excavations in Book Art, a collaboration among five mixed-media artists. The Gibbes Museum of Art will host The Spoleto Watercolors of Stephen Mueller and Carl Palazzolo, a show featuring works inspired by the festival and the Lowcountry.
And then there is the chamber series, and the Festival Orchestra, the Music in Time series featuring contemporary classical music, and the small-ensemble programs. Its just too much to describe in a single article.
A couple of things will be different this time. The Conversations With series will be held at the Charleston Library Society, 164 King St. And the College of Charlestons TD Arena will be used, along with the Sottile Theatre, in lieu of the Gaillard Auditorium, which is closed for extensive renovations.
Some things will stay the same or get better: The Post and Courier again will provide extensive coverage of Spoleto Festival USA and Charlestons Piccolo Spoleto Festival, offering readers special daily print sections and dynamic web content that includes feature stories, videos, photo galleries, blogs, podcasts, social media postings, calendar listings and more.
