Full Story
Johnny & his BFF
Johnny Depp and his best friend Marilyn Manson were photographed in LA together earlier this week.

The blow-jobbiest article ever

The Depp-Heard engagement
Michael Kovac /Jason Merritt /Michael Buckner /Getty Images
Let's rewind back to Friday afternoon when it was reported that Amber Heard is indeed engaged to Johnny Depp and it wasn't important enough for me to come back to the blog because I'd already wrapped up the day. Why? Because there is NO GAME to this. Depp and Heard spent last week together on the celebrity circuit at Sean Penn's Haiti fundraiser and then at the Globes. Full Story

While Johnny Depp may or may not be marrying Amber Heard, who had to make it SO OBVIOUS that she didn't want you to see her ring – click here for a refresher -- let's catch up with his exes. It's Kate Moss's 40th birthday today. Full Story
Mrs Johnny Depp?
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Amber Heard went out the other night. She made a point of covering up one of her hands. Apparently there was a ring on her engagement finger. Again, she went out of her way to hide it, even getting the valet to open the car door so that she wouldn't have to expose it. And now several mainstream outlets, including PEOPLE Full Story
Amber Heard: Worst Globes Hair & Boyfriend
FameFlynet, Michael Kovac /Jason Merritt /Michael Buckner /Getty Images
Winona Ryder, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis… On style, during their respective Johnny Depp eras, it was always just right, exactly right. You knew, on style, just from their clothes, why they were with Johnny Depp. Why they were It. You could feel the It. I am telling you – the It is not this hair. Full Story
GOOP & Depp
Gwyneth Paltrow and Johnny Depp were seen together in LA on the set of Mordecai yesterday. There were rumours circulating a few weeks that he hates her or something because she's a pain in the ass. How come she can't hate him for being a pain in the ass? It's not like Johnny Depp isn't a total cliché. Full Story
The first trailer for Johnny Depp's Transcendence was released this weekend. Johnny Depp doesn't wear fake teeth. Or a wig. Or cartoon makeup. And he doesn't speak in an accent. Jesus, how long has it been? It's so nice to hear his "regular" voice – a deep drawl, more suited to a rock star than a scientist, but let's not complain. Full Story

Argentina, Xstrata Copper clash on new export tax
By Jonathan Spicer
TORONTO (Reuters) - Argentina brushed off concerns on Monday that new export duties on companies will hurt investment, but mining giant Xstrata Copper said the measure hurts the country's credibility and throws into question Xstrata's $2-billion El Pachon project there.
Argentina's mining secretary, Jorge Mayoral, also said that legal actions against the tax by mining majors Xstrata, Rio Tinto, and others are unlikely to proceed to international courts.
When asked by reporters about the impact of the duties, Mayoral said that only "logistics" -- not regulatory issues -- will limit mining and exploration growth in mineral-rich Argentina.
"We have been growing and we will grow again in 2008," he told reporters, in Spanish, on the sidelines of an international mining conference in Toronto.
Xstrata in Argentina and at least four other companies have begun a legal challenge to fight the export duty, which affects 14 companies.
The change, made by the government in December to take advantage of high global metals prices, scraps exemptions to export taxes that had been introduced in 2002.
"The decision of the government to apply the export duty on mining companies ... sends a very negative message to international investors and affects the credibility of the country," Claude Ferron, the chief operating officer of Xstrata Copper Canada, told Reuters in an e-mail.
"An investment in El Pachon will be harder to justify from a country-risk perspective due to the present uncertainty about the stability of Argentina's regulatory framework," he wrote, adding he is hopeful the country's "counterproductive" move will be resolved through negotiations. Continued...

Workshop News :: 2012 Events
I always thought I would retire into teaching after a long photography career. Little did I know that I would end up teaching in my early 30's. I've been teaching the OneLight workshop for about five years now. I love my workshop, and I love teaching it, but it is time for me to give it a bit of a break. The OneLight has literally taken me around the world. I had no idea how successful it would be when I started it in Tampa, FL with a flip chart and some B&H print outs.
It is time, though, to give it a break or to give myself a break from it. I'm not sure which one needs the break more. I have three more dates to go this year and they are all next week in Texas.
While I am retiring the OneLight in its current form, I do have some set teaching dates for next year.
March 5th – 10 :: Gulf Photo Plus in Dubai – I'll be teaching a mixture of classes from Photo 101 basics, to the OneLight, to an advanced location portrait class. Gulf Photo Plus is one of the most amazing weeks of photography education that I know about in an amazing and surreal location.
June 17th – 23rd :: Focus On Nature in Iceland – It's a real honor that the good folks at Focus On Nature have asked me to teach a week long class for them in Iceland. Nature Schmature… we'll be working on portraits the whole time, but with Iceland as the backdrop. This is going to be a pretty interesting workshop in that a small group of us will be together for seven days through lectures, critiques, shooting, and roaming around the country together. Natural light, small flashes, and bigger strobes will all come into play. From the streets of Reykjavik to the unreal landscapes Iceland is known for, this is going to be an amazing week of shooting.
At $6,950 you have every right to choke on that bagel you're eating right now but… this is one of those deals where you are taken care of from the moment you walk out of the airport to the day you are flying home again. All of the accommodations, food, and interior travel are taken care of. You just have to pay for alcohol and Bjork CD's while you're there.
August 25th – 31st – Rocky Mountain School of Photography – I've been invited back to Montana to teach another week long lighting class. The class is based in Missoula and it's a week of learning to use light during the day and learning which beer you like at the Rhino at night. I love RMSP and the people there. It's really a great place. Check out all of their offerings. That school is a jewel in our industry.
O Canada! – All right Canada. We "think" we found our way to legally enter the country and teach the OneLight. We have more requests to come to Canada than anywhere else. Your border is also the biggest pain in the ass to cross with bags of pro gear in tow. I'm on a list and can't enter the country with professional camera gear unless I have all the proper paper work in order. I'm no National Geographic photographer but Canada is by far the biggest pain in the ass of a country to enter with a camera. That just makes me want to come up there all the more. Damn the list! As soon as we have all the paperwork in order I'll announce dates.
That's about it for teaching next year. I'm sure a few things will pop up here and there but I really, really, really need to take a break from traveling for the next year and just be home as much as I can. Sign up on the mailing list to be the first to know about anything going on with my teaching schedule outside of the dates listed above. You won't be spammed. I don't have that much to say.
I got first dibs on a spot in Vancouver and case of Newcastle for ya!
Classes in Canada? Yay!! Looking forward to that. I wonder if the border trouble is the same when going from Canada to the US with loads of pro gear.
Will you come to germany in 2012? Mabye Photokina?
Hey Zack,
I'm not a pro, and I haven't tried to cross borders with a load of camera gear, so I'm a little ignorant to the rules, but why is it such a pain to get across the Canadian border?
Please do not forget Montreal if you are coming to Canada. The city is amazing and there are a lot of pationnate photographers around here !!!!
would be great to have you in Canada once you get around the wacky customs issues.
Trust me goes the other way to !!
Am sure you could easily do a few sold out days in Toronto.
Hey while your driving across the border (through Detroit) stop in London,ON
You would be surprised how far Canadians will drive to see someone of influence like yourself
until then enjoy your rest
Hey, I remember watching a recent 'fro knows' video and Jarid Polin mentioned that he attended one of your workshops. I'm live downtown Philly and know the fro doesn't live too far out of town. Out of curiosity, where was the workshop, in the photo above, held?
If I had the extra cash I'd be on the plane to Iceland. Unfortunately, I'm going to tap into the piggy bank to splurge for the beastly 1dx.
YAY for more classes in Missoula with RMSP! I'm already wishing I could take the class all over again next summer. Hell, who am I kidding, I just want another drink at the Rhino, while throwing peanut shells on the floor, and staring into the coolest vending machine around.
Nice ! Hope to see you in Toronto. I can totally see how our boarders are a pain… they're even a pain for us when we want to return home after a nice visit in the US of A
I almost choked at the choke comment. Hilarious!
As someone going from Canada into the US it's the same situation. I was heading over for a Canadian/American wedding, just for the reception part and was pulled in and inspected for about 30 minutes. I was "safe" because I was paid by Canadians in Canada first. They also stopped the mother of the bride as she had all the bouquets and they needed to inspect them and clear them as well. For two countries that say we work together they really make it hard to do a lot. And my border is a very small one up north between northern Ontario and the UP of Michigan; not a high traffic area at all.
Thanks! I think. lol.
any plans to make it back to Philly for another?
Zack, Try having a chat with the people at The Camera Store in Calgary. They probably have been through the song and dance a # of times. http://www.thecamerastore.com/ http://www.thecamerastore.com/events/list If you hold one there I will come to paraphrase some American or as we would say here grab a 24er and put it through the five hole.
+1 for Montreal !
Lots of great places to shoot and lots of great people to hang with. So much waiting for any announcement…
Zack. If you're coming to Canada, please come and crush Montreal. Lots of amazing places and people to shoot. I'm sure you know this already 😉
We'd love to have you.
man, how much do i want to go to Iceland with you guys??? wow.
Hey Zack,
To get around the border issues on the Flashbus tour, Hobby & McNally just hit a bunch of border towns like Buffalo and we went to them. Worth keeping in mind
Come back to the UK, I'll buy you all the Newcastle Brown you can drink – from the source Tadcaster, not Newcastle!
I think that Canada took exception to the fact that in the late 1920's America was all set to go to war with Britain (UK) and their first step to starting said war would be to invade Canada, everything was in place, airfields, planes, men, tanks. It all went pear shaped though because of the Wall Street crash and the great depression. I'm surprised they let anyone from America into Canada
Awesome Zack, Im really looking forward to see you in Vancouver…assuming it'll be on your list of Canadian cities of course 😉
I took one of your early ATL workshops, as well as bought the DVD (one of the few photo DVD's I've actually kept) Your workshop opened up a whole new path for my photography. You have a real gift for teaching, not everyone does. Stepping away from it for a while is understandable as the pace is exhausting plus its time away from the Fam and your work. Know that a good teacher is always needed, and you can come back to it when you need to.
But, it was not just the photography you taught – it was the mentality of doing more with less, not frothing over the latest lens, and not being a whore in the photo industry or life in general. I appreciated your straight talk – other did too.
Thanks, and best wishes – keep us informed about your work.
Buffalo, NY is about 1.5 hours from Toronto depending on the border traffic. Its a pretty regular occurrence for some of our Canadian friends to come down to Buffalo Workshops and likewise for the US shooters going to workshops in Canada. The Flashbus tour sold out here with a huge amount of attendance from Canadian photographers when it was here.
Come teach in Montreal – I will drive in from Burlington VT and won't bring a lot of Pro Gear – Don't have any.
Darn, I' wish I had discovered you sooner, I would have taken your workshop. I live 45 minutes away. Crossing my fingers you will offer something in ATL (that means you don't have to travel). Ahh wishful thinking.
Zack, for your sake, I hope this means more time at home with the family. For our sake here at RMSP, we're darn excited to have you coming back in 2012. And thank you very much for the very kind words too.
I'll see what I can do about reserving a table at The Rhino every night you are here!
Just saw Gregory Hielser last weekend in Calgary for two days. He partnered with Flash Point a rental shop who provided Pro Fotos for the workshop.
He was AMAZING BTW
I look forward to some Canadian Dates!
Your Cananda story is hilarious. Before I knew how much of a pain it was, I traveled there back in Aug 2009 to shoot a promo for a photog. I had no idea about the rules. When the woman at customs asked me why I was there, I told her the truth. Uh. Bad move. I was at customs for at least a couple of hours while the photog who hired begged and pleaded and explained over the phone why there was no other videographers in Canada who could do what I did. (Thank God that customs agent did get her wedding shot by StilMotion. Anyway, we paid a small fee for a temporary license and all was well. I think it helped that I was so internationally clueless she must've felt sorry for me. When she asked where I was going, I told her "I think he lives in Alberta." That's like being at the ATL airport and telling a customs agent you want to visit someone in Georgia.
Other than a few reactors spewing radiation, why does nobody of worth come here to Japan?
Maybe answered my own question.. :/
O Canada! I am so on board if you get here. Please shoot for the Calgary area – I will be the first to sign up.
I attended Syl Arenas course in Dubai last month at the Gulf Photo Plus! would love to attend your workshop next year but can't ! Boo!! Will have to come to Iceland, I guess.
The east coast is often overlooked, but if you can make it to Halifax, I guarantee we'll sell out the class for you!
Hey Zack, I'm bummed that I'm going to miss your workshop in Missoula MT. I live in North Dakota and was going to drive out there for that week and attend, but I'm being sent out of town for that entire week for my full time job. I'm signed up on the mailing list and I'm hoping that you will be somewhere else nearby sometime this year. Love your work!
Hey zack. Exciting news that your coming to Canada. Don't forget the east coast. Cape breton was ranked second best island by travelers.
That is great news, you are coming to Canada! Sure hope that a stop will be in Calgary! Good luck with the borders!
when you coming back to oregon or seattle?!?!!!
Zack … about Canada … screw the papers! Take a toothbrush and rent everything else you need. Just sayin'
What would be your timing for tennessee?
You know? Even Hobby and Numnuts made it to Minneapolis. It maybe kinda cold but the people make it really warm. Think about it … Land of Lakes, loons and some kickass micro breweries.
Ha! Just try entering your good old US of A with pro camera gear FROM Canada. Your low self-esteem US border guards need to relax.
Hi Zack,
Any chance for a workshop in France soon?

Technical Abstract: Maize originated in Mexico and was first brought eastward to Europe by Columbus after 1492. In this article we use historical records and linguistic evidence to trace the probable early journeys of maize to Africa and Asia. We discover that maize had spread eastward across Asia into China by the end of the 16th century. Maize rapidly became a critical food for poor farmers in the mountainous regions of Asia. Maize continues today to feed many of the poorest human populations in Asia.

Can you feel it? Do you feel the relaxation of just having someone tell you that you can be guilt-free for a few days? If so, then you may be like me: a little too tightly wound, a little too likely to blame yourself for every little thing, basically a perfectionist that became a mom.
As soon as someone suggests that I stop feeling guilty all the time, I totally agree. That's a great idea. I get it.
But doing it is hard. Which is why I read the book Mommy Guilt and studied it so hard.
Can you let go of your intensely high expectations of yourself, your kitchen, your kids, your wardrobe, your sense of style, your cooking, your hobbies, your sex-life and just chill the eff out? Ahhh, yeah, that's the stuff.
Like I said, this guilt-free catharsis is going through March 4th. There'll be working mom guilt, stay-at-home-mom guilt as well as that combo platter of part-time-working-mom guilt. I'll confess how well I did in my effort for a guilt-free birthday party for Milo on Friday.
In the meantime, here are a few bloggers (who seem to have it all together) letting it hang out a bit more than usual:
- 7 guilt-free splurges for mom
- Guilt-free (dis)organization (the one with org porn)
- Your child's artwork: to keep or not to keep?
Make your own guilt-free pledge
Let's send guilt packing! Take the BabyCenter guilt-free pledge by finishing the sentence below and sharing with all of your friends. Fill in the blank: I won't feel guilty about ____ @babycenter #guiltfreeweek (post here, twitter, facebook, the babycenter community, or on a little post-it in the inside of your medicine cabinet where you'll remember)
Finally, On March 4, BabyCenter will close out Guilt-Free Parenting Week with an all-day party in its community, including prizes, games, and discussion around how to keep the spirit of Guilt-Free Parenting Week alive all year.
I'll try to be there too, but I won't beat myself up if I can't make it. Know what I mean? I have some leftover birthday cake to eat.

Attaching Backerboard to old Fireplace surround
We will be putting new Tile over the old red brick surround of our Fireplace as part of retrofitting it with a Gas Insert. The Home Depot guys are all over the map in recommendations on how to do this. (duh)..
One guy suggested simply using quickset mortar to "build out" and level the grout joints & surface area, then use a regular thinset to attach the Tiles.
One guy suggested just screwing in a sheet of Backerboard directly over the existing bricks.
I like the idea of the 2nd opinion - seems less "messy" and a better way to get a level surface to tile onto. How would we attach this Backerboard to the brick surface? Drill and anchor bolts? Are there "nails" that can go directly into brick or the old mortar joints?
Do you agree with their assessment or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks so much in advance.
I've always use thinset to level it out, let it dry and check for high areas, Grind then down if there is any, and and used tap con flat head screws to attach it.
Thanks ! PS - what are "tap Con" screws ?? Do they screw directly into the thinset without drilling? (e.g., self-setting screws?)
Nope, going to have to use a hammer drill to predrill the holes.
Got it ... thanks
Mortar for scratchcoat, then attach with thinset.
Yea, I've read (ad nauseum mind you) 3 different approaches to this project. One, like you mentioned, is just to apply Mortar, then a Thin Set with adhesive added & the tiles. Another suggestion was to just use Thin Set, period - build it up over a couple of coats (over 2 or 3 days) and eventually just place the tiles. The other suggestion was to screw in some firring strips & attach backerboard, then thin set with adhesive & tile.
The main issue I have is that the existing bricks are not all flush -- there is a sort of mantle area that has 2 rows of bricks sticking out about 1/4 inch further then the other bricks. So we'd basically have to (1) build up the mortar (or thin set) to at least that 1/4" ... then another 1/8" or so beyond that to get a flush surface to mount tiles. Hence the approach of just shimming a piece of backerboard seemed like a good approach.
Thanks for all the input guys ...
why build up the whole thing to meet 2 rows of brick when you can take a grinder or a hammer and chisel and just chip them off flush with the rest of the brick
Good point ... but not sure how easy that will be to do ... We'll try that first as you suggest.. thanks !
Thinset is not meant to be applied as a filler, hence the name THINset.
Yea, that was always what I thougt as well ... hence if we go the "fill it" route, we'll just use Mortar, then the thinset to apply the tiles. Otherwise we'll go the backwerboard route and use firring strips to level it out.
Thanks again for everyone helping me sort through this.

Our tripod bags can be carried over a shoulder with a shoulder strap (not included) or worn as a backpack with an optional harness.
Modes of Use
One question we get asked frequently is "I am carrying most of gear on a belt system and I want to carry a tripod, but I don't want to wear a large backpack just for attaching the tripod. What do I do? Kinesis tripod bags can be carried via three modes:
1. in one hand to your side
2. over one shoulder with an optional shoulder strap
3. as a ultra lightweight backpack (a Kinesis first) with a harness
General Features
All our tripod bags are unpadded, although we offer a simple foam insert (T220/T230) that provides cushioning for your back when it is worn as a backpack and protects the tripod when it is set down on a hard surface. Many of our competitors make padded (larger, non-collapsible) tripod bags which are designed for carrying tripods and/or several light stands.
• Unpadded, constructed of 500 denier Nylon DuPont® Cordura Plus fabric (an unpadded bag is collapsible).
• Heavy-duty self-healing #10 Self-healing Coil Zipper is used on the T720 & T730 models (the same big zipper is found on the main compartment of a Lowepro Trekker, Kinesis Journeyman or similar backpacks)
•Water repellent #8 coil zipper used on T620
• The bags feature a pair of compression straps which stabilizes the load when used as a pack
• Harness attachment point (same as our long lens cases). A Kinesis shoulder harness like the padded H245 or larger H255, H344 or H717) can be attached to a tripod bag, instantly converting it to a backpack. When used as a pack we recommend the Foam Insert to pad your back against the tripod. In this mode it can used with or without a belt.
• All bags have a zippered side pocket for extra quick-release plates, cable release or sync cords.
• These bags are only for NON-spiked feet tripods.
Because of the numerous makes and models of tripods and heads, we don't have a compatibility chart showing every option. Simply measure the length of YOUR tripod with the head attached and compare against the inside dimensions specs on our site (click on "Learn More" on any product).
Tripod Bag
As low as: $46.00These quality bags are unpadded and constructed of 500 Denier Cordura® fabric with heavy-duty #10 zippers. Each bag features a pair of compression straps, a zippered side pocket and an attachment point where the optional padded shoulder harness can be attached so that the bag can be carried like a backpack.Our Tripod bags are available in three sizes to fit most tripods. They are unpadded, but you can add a foam pad as an option. Learn More

Rated 1 out of 5 by Carolee from Doesn't fit right in waist These pants look and feel great on the hanger, but they don't fit right in the waist. They gape in the back by the waist band although they fit great everywhere else. Didn't even try a smaller size because I knew they would then be too tight in the thigh. Belting it would just create too many waist band creases. Disappointing.

Health Care Reform
The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2010 created a number of changes in the private and public health insurance system. The following information is provided by the Boulder County Human Services Department's website at www.BoulderCounty.org.
Key changes already in place include: Young adults can now remain on their parents' health insurance until age 26. Insurers can no longer deny coverage to children with pre-existing conditions or exclude those conditions from a child's coverage. Beginning in 2014, adults cannot be denied insurance because of a health condition. There are no longer caps on the dollar amount of health benefits people can receive in a single year or over the course of a lifetime. Certain preventive health services, such as annual exams, are free to insured Coloradans.
Beginning January 1, 2014, individuals will be required to have health insurance. There are exemptions to the requirement, including people who have certain religious beliefs, people who are members of a federally recognized tribe or who cannot find an affordable plan. People who are not lawfully present in the United States and people who are incarcerated are also not subject to the mandate. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will be responsible for enforcing the requirement.
In order to help people meet the federal requirement to have health insurance, beginning January 1, 2014, two changes will be taking place: more individuals will be able to qualify for health insurance through Medicaid and a new Health Premium Tax Credit will help lower and middle-income families reduce the costs of buying health insurance when they purchase it through the Connect for Health Colorado Marketplace.
Beginning in January 2014, Medicaid eligibility requirements will expand to 133% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) for all individuals. Colorado Medicaid already covers children up to 133% FPL, so the expansion will increase coverage to parents with Medicaid-eligible children and to adults without dependent children.
The expansion means that Coloradans earning up to 133 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) will be eligible for Medicaid, which is $31,332 per year for a family of four or $15,288 per year for an individual. Due to standard deductions that will be made to an individual's or family's gross income, households earning up to 138% FPL may be eligible ($32,508 for a family of four; $15,864 for an individual).
You can access Colorado PEAK to see if you are currently eligible for Medicaid. Starting on October 1, 2013, you can use Colorado PEAK to see if you qualify for Medicaid under the expansion.
Connect for Health Colorado is a new online health insurance marketplace that will open on October 1, 2013. This marketplace is sometimes referred to as the "health insurance exchange." Individuals, families and small employers can shop for and buy health insurance through the Connect for Health Colorado website or receive assistance in-person through a Boulder County Health Coverage Guide. Assistance can also be received over the phone from a Connect for Health Colorado Customer Service Center Representative.

Terrific temporary exhibits are a big reason that Notebaert Nature Museum is a regular visit for my family. The new Ice Age Mammals and Prehistoric Beasts exhibit is no exception. Perfectly timed to coincide with the popular "Ice Age" movies, kids can now learn real facts and see these prehistoric creatures in action.
We chose to visit on a weekday, hoping to avoid crowds and were lucky enough to have the small exhibit to ourselves. From outside the entrance we could see the animatronic beasts, which surprised me. I did not realize that all the creatures we would see would be moving and making sounds. Even my 18 month-old was eager to get a closer look.
Once inside, it's easy for kids to explore on their own. There are only 10 robotic creatures, plus displays of modern-day animals which date back to prehistoric times. The floor-plan is open and easy to navigate, even with a stroller. The information is also clearly presented with very interesting "factoids." I especially loved the dictionary-style pronunciations for the scientific names. Can you say "hyracotherium?" The museum provides a sort of scavenger hunt quiz that encourages visitors to read signs carefully. Even though my boys are too young to read, they were still eager to make sure I filled in every blank.
From the very first stop, it is clear the exhibit's designers tried to make the scenes true to life. I was honestly startled to see a giant prehistoric bird about to feast on a quivering miniature horse. But my five year-old thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. Later, there is a scene of a small saber-toothed cat clamped on to a giant sloth. My boys looked for a few minutes and then asked me who was eating whom.
We also thought it was interesting that some of the creatures we were looking at lived in the Chicago area. "You mean we could dig up a Wooly Mammoth in our sandbox?" wondered my four-year-old. The exhibit also points out where similar types of artifacts can be found at other area museums and nature centers, such as the bones of the Australopithecus "Lucy" at the Field Museum. Since we spend a lot of time in museums, it will be nice to refer back to Ice Age when we see these artifacts.
Although we only spent about 20 minutes in this exhibit, its impact has been great on my boys. The dinner conversation was an extended story of giant armadillos and sloths engaged in an epic battle and my sons have already asked to go back again. Alena Murguia
Notebaert Nature Museum is located at 2430 N. Cannon Dr., just off Lake Shore Drive at Fullerton in Lincoln Park. Exhibit admission is $3, $2 for museum members. General museum admission is $7, $5 students and seniors, $4 kids 3-12, free 3 and under.. Admission to the museum, not the exhibit, is free on Thursdays. (773) 755-5100, www.naturemuseum.org
"Wired to Win": New Film Integrates Elite Biking with Wonders of Human Brain
"Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France" offers an opportunity to avoid summer's brain drain by actually learning about the inner workings of the brain. The new film now showing at the Museum of Science and Industry's Omnimax theater tells the true story of two riders, Australian Baden Cooke and French teammate Jimmy Casper, as they compete in the grueling 2,112-mile, three-week-long race. "Wired to Win" moves seamlessly from intense action and stunning scenery to computer-generated imagery showcasing the latest in neuroscience.
Using elaborate digital and medical imaging technology, you see how the cyclists integrate an enormous amount of information and then call on the brain to respond to situations like pain, fatigue, flagging motivation, imminent danger and more. While Lance Armstrong does make a brief appearance, the real thrill is watching Cooke and Casper as they compete for the green sprinter's jersey.
"It showed how the riders experienced a situation, sent information to the brain and how the brain figured it out. It was really cool," said my nine-year-old daughter Jordan. Monica Ginsburg
"Wired to Win" runs through Jan. 11. Museum admission plus Omnimax: $16 adult city residents; $11.25 kids 3-11. See website for showtimes and to purchase tickets. Advanced ticket purchase recommended. The Museum of Science and Industry is located at 57th Street and Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. (773) 684-1414, www.msichicago.org.

With an award winning big brother, Heidi had a lot to prove...and she has!
Heidi's Story
"I guess you could say that wine is in my blood. I grew up on the family vineyard and winery alongside my siblings who now also work in the family business. My mother and father pioneered modern wine-grape growing in the South Island of NZ. This was back in the early 70s when as a young couple they were told Nelson was too far south and that grapes would only ever be viable in the North Island of NZ. Now, 35 years plus later, the South Island of NZ produces the vast majority of NZ wine! In addition to this, grapes are grown very successfully 800 km south of Nelson in Central Otago. Quite a remarkable turnaround in such a brief time!
As a small business we do everything as we have done from early beginnings. Specifically we graft grape plants, run a nursery, grow and nuture the grapes, pick / ferment / blend / stabilise and finish the wines, bottle the wines and market the wines all ourselves! Whew! Growing up in this environment gives one a broad perspective on every aspect of growing and making wine? and naturally sparked my interest. And yes, I do enjoy drinking the stuff!
There are many things that we're proud of here at Seifried, but one thing in particular are our green credentials! We were one of the first wineries on board with the New Zealand Sustainable Vineyard programme (in the mid 1990s) and we were the first accredited Sustainable winery in our region in 2003. This means that we look very carefully at what we do and how we grow our grapes and make our wines. We are constantly measuring our inputs and trying to work as well as we can to produce sustainable wines. The programme encompasses environmental, social and economic sustainability.
My key tips for being a good winemaker?
In a nutshell...Winemaking is definitely a mix of art and science. You need to be particular about winery cleanliness and hygiene, and keep your eye on the ball at all times. However on the other hand you need to loosen up about wine going through its own ?phases? and evolution.... you cannot control this!"

The number one surprise in CNN's list of the top 10 airlines for business class is that no U.S. carriers are represented – or is that a surprise? The list is dominated by Middle Eastern airlines with a smattering of Europeans plus Australia. The top spot, however, is held by a famously luxurious Asian airline.
Note: Every airline on the list has a lie-flat bed – in fact, finding the difference between the following business class amenities and first class is the real challenge.
And for the rest of us – where to find free beer in coach
Top 10 Best in Business Class
1. Singapore Airlines
Why it's good: It has the "world's widest" seats (34 inches), excellent meals and "delightful flight attendants known for their thoughtful and intuitive service."
2. Oman Air
Why it's good: While U.S. travelers may not be familiar with this carrier, global travelers who like to fly in style are raising its profile, thanks in part to perks like a "door-to-door service with complimentary chauffeur-driven airport transfers in select destinations such as Paris, London, Muscat, Oman, and Mumbai."
3. Qatar Airways
Why it's good: This award winning airline (pronounced "cutter") is singled out for its wine selections, and "having star chef Nobu Matsuhisa oversee the in-flight menu hasn't hurt either."
Why these travelers gave up their first class seats
4. British Airways
Why it's good: This venerable carrier has been doing it right for decades now but it gets special mention for its Heathrow Club World Lounge and its "Galleries Arrivals lounge, which features an Elemis Travel Spa, 94 shower rooms, cabanas with infinity bathrooms and a garment-pressing service."
5. Etihad Airways
Why it's good: Award-winning everything plus the tantalizingly-named Six Senses Spa in the business lounge which also features a "library stocked with papers and magazines and speedy services – ironing and shoe polishing – you can cue up while you shower."
6. Swiss International Airlines
Why it's good: Great seating configuration plus "out-of-the-box touches like all-veggie menus from Zurich's Haus Hiltl, the world's oldest vegetarian restaurant."
7. Virgin Atlantic
Why it's good: The onboard galley bar is popular but the airline's Heathrow Clubhouse gets special mention, a place where you can enjoy a drink in "the buzzy, futuristic-looking glowing bar, have a facial or a close shave at the Cowshed Spa, tuck into a full English breakfast or catch a movie in The Den's state-of-the-art screening rooms."
8. Cathay Pacific
Why it's good: Wide seats, extra knee space, great food and drinks plus "legendary service."
9. Qantas

As for the veracity of newspapers and what pops up on the web, I thought you styled yourself a "sceptic"?
Sad But True: WSJ Editorial Saying Obama Administration Doesn't Drill Enough Is Wrong | ThinkProgress
Murdoch newspapers are just cheerleaders for the rich, powerful and bigoted. You should know that by now. Whatever reputation they once possessed is well lost by now.
Winter weather has killed a million Brits since the 1980s and will kill a million more by 2050, experts have warned. Age support groups and doctors blame poor housing, high energy bills and pensioner poverty. Many killed by the cold are elderly but the ill, vulnerable and very young also die. A total of 973,000 people died due to winter weather from 1982/83 to 2011/12, Office of National Statistics data for England and Wales shows. ONS data shows another million Brits will be killed by winters by 2050, based on the average of 27,400 cold weather deaths per winter in the last five years. --Alastair Grant, Daily Star, 3 March 2013
Britain's relentless big freeze has sparked fears of the highest winter death rate for five years. The brutal Arctic blast has seen temperatures plummet to -13C (9F) amid what could be the coldest March for almost three decades. Pensioner groups warned the death rate among Britain's elderly has already soared this winter with fears it could hit 30,000 – 6,000 more than last year. The National Federation of Occupational Pensioners (NFOP) said deaths among its members had more than quadrupled since the end of last year. --Nathan Rao, Daily Express, 13 March 2013
This is what mass green hysteria without science causes
I 100,000 people band together ( 25,000) sceintists ) issue a report right now that I did have an egg for my breakfast, that has no bearing on whether I did or not. Unless some evidence exists to prove the yes or no. If you are standing on London Bridge at 4 pm tomorrow and suddenly everyone jumps into the river and die horrible deaths, police men, doctors, scientists, the prime minister, buss drivers. All jump in and then all that is left is you alone. You can do 2 things , you too can jump in or you can do as I would, walk off home and watch the TV news. Its that simple.
The climate change debate is based on assumptions. These assumptions did not agreed on ways to measure the effects, the effect that plants would have in absorbing CO2. They set off tonmake money abating carbon without putting a price on carbon. Now we have our environment destroyed by turbines which do nothing and people are dying from freezing cold because fuel is so expensive to """"""" you guessed it """"""" to Prevent global warming. And they freezing to death. Mad
Apparently, a circus calling itself "Climategate 3" just ambled through town, but not many noticed.
... except William Connolley for one:
Climategate 3.0? – StoatThis caused massive excitement in the denialosphere for a day, but now everyone has quietly forgotten it. You can tell its a damp squib because the only even vaguely "mainstream" news report of it that WUWT can find is a blog piece by James Delingpole, a man so unimportant I haven't even bothered call him a tosser.
Gavin Schmidt did bother to find out the volume of web searches for "Climategate" since 2009. Ahem, not good news for deniers then ....

iPhone USB connectivity with RHB fixed?
Like many others have reported, I have had the problem with iPod connectivity via the USB being intermittent with my iPhone 3GS running software 4.0-4.2x. Sometimes it worked, other times the message "error occurred" appeared and it failed On 3/11, I updated the software in my phone to the newest version (4.3) via iTunes and had no connectivity issues today.
Is it just working again per it's usual intermittent pattern or did the phone software update fix the connectivity issue with the 430N (RHB)?
Stay tuned.
Other's experiences?
Re: iPhone USB connectivity with RHB fixed?
NM, answered my own question. Went out later and same old caca "Error Occurred" message-so same old intermittent functionality. SMS still doesn't function either.

Armenia–Greece relations
|This article needs additional or better citations for verification. (March 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Greco-Armenian relations refer to the bilateral relations between Armenia and Greece. Due to the strong political, cultural and religious ties between the two nations, (the vast majority of Armenians and Greeks practice the Eastern Christian faith), Armenia and Greece today enjoy excellent diplomatic relations. They have always been strong both emotionally and historically due to religious and cultural roots and co-existence during the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires.[citation needed]
All three Presidents of Armenia paid official visits to Greece and there are high-level contacts between the two countries. Greece formally recognized the Armenian Genocide in 1996, while Armenia formally recognized the Greek Genocide in 2015.[1]
In the Greek language, Armenia is called Αρμενία (Armenia), the Armenians are called Αρμένιοι (Armenii) and the Armenian language is called αρμένικα (Armenica). In the Armenian language, Greece is called Հունաստան (Hounastan), the Greeks are called հույներ (Houyner) and the Greek language is called Հունարեն (Hounaren). The Greek transcription of the Armenian word for Armenia (Հայաստան) is Χαγιαστάν (Hayiastan). The Armenian transcription of the Greek word for the Greek language (Ελληνικά ) is էլլինիկա.[2]
Both being ancient civilizations, Armenians and Greeks have co-existed for centuries. There are ancient notes by Greek historians suggesting of the roots of Armenians. The earliest reference to Armenia was made by the Greek historian Hecataeus of Miletus in 525 BC.[3] According to a hypothesis proposed by linguists during the 20th century, the Armenian and Greek languages share a common ancestor[citation needed]. This has led to the proposal of a Graeco-Armenian language, post-dating the Proto-Indo-European language. Herodotus suggests that the Armenians are descendants of the Phrygians. Plato had early noticed the similarities between the Greek and the Phrygian languages. In addition Strabo has written that the ancestral homeland of the Armenians or of their ruling class, prior to their immigration in Asia Minor, was a valley in Thessaly, after which they are named. A chain of ancient references that show the close relation between the two peoples.[citation needed]
After the destruction of the Seleucid Empire, a Hellenistic Greek successor state of Alexander the Great's short-lived empire, a Hellenistic Armenian state was founded in 190 BC.
The Armenian language is said to be influenced from Ancient Greek, but both languages developed differently over time.[citation needed]
The Armenian alphabet (created in 405), being written from left to right and not from right to left like other scripts of the Mediterranean Basin or Middle East, has a certain Greek flavour.
During the Byzantine Empire's era, Armenians and Greeks co-existed in relative peace thanks to their religious ties[citation needed]. Armenians constituted an integral part of the Empire in its early centuries, with many of the Byzantine Emperors being Armenian and/or having Armenian blood. The Macedonian Dynasty is often considered the era in which the Byzantine Empire reached its greatest extent since the Muslim Conquests and the Macedonian Renaissance in letters and arts began. The dynasty was named after its founder, Basil I the Macedonian, who was descended from the theme of Macedonia (the theme was actually located in the region of Thrace, and had no relation with the geographical region of Macedonia). The dynasty's founder and many subsequent emperors were of Armenian descent, hence the dynasty is also referred to by some authors as the "Armenian Dynasty".[4] However, because of the differences that existed between Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic Christianity, Byzantine emperors often tried to conquer the Armenian Bagratuni Dynasty Kingdom and impose Greek Orthodoxy. They achieved this in 1045 after many attempts. This weakened both Byzantines and Armenians alike, and in consequence, they weren't able to keep the Turks away from Armenia who left it undefended (1064) and from the rest of Anatolia (1071 onwards)
Regardless, these two nations also co-existed under Seljuk and later Ottoman empire.
Political relations[edit]
Greece was one of the first countries to recognize Armenia's independence on September 21, 1991.[5] Both countries have an embassy in their respective capitals. Also, Greece is one of the countries that have officially recognized the Armenian Genocide and is one of the few countries that has criminalized the denial of the Genocide.[6]
Since the declaration of independence in Armenia, the two countries have been partners within the framework of international organizations (United Nations, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Council of Europe, BSEC), whilst Greece firmly supports the community programs aimed at further developing relations between the European Union and Armenia.
Continuous visits of the highest level have shown that both countries want to continue to improve the levels of friendship and cooperation. The President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrossian visited Greece in 1996, the President of Greece Costis Stephanopoulos visited Armenia in 1999, the President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan visited Greece in 2000 and 2005. Additionally, current President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan visited Greece in 2011 and in 2014 Armenia welcomed the Greek President Karolos Papoulias in Yerevan.[7]
Military cooperation[edit]
Greece is, after Russia, one of the major military partners of Armenia. Armenian officers are trained in Greek military academies, and various technical assistance is supplied by Greece. Since 2003, an Armenian platoon has been deployed in Kosovo as part of KFOR. There they operate as a part of the Greek battalion of KFOR. In 2011 Armenia's military attaché to Greece and Cyprus, Colonel Samvel Ramazyan, said that the Armenian-Greek military cooperation continues to steadily develop.[8]
Both countries have signed bilateral treaties which include:
- Economic, Industrial and Technological Cooperation Agreement (in force since 1 December 1994)
- Agreement on the Promotion and Mutual Protection of Investments (in force since 28 April 1995)[9]
- Cooperation Agreement in the military sector (June 1996)
- Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation on Income (in force since 13 May 1999)
Estimates on the size of the Greek community in Armenia range from 1,800 to 5,000 [1]. The declining number of Greeks in Armenia in recent years is mainly due to mass migration to Greece from the former Soviet Union and because of Armenia's economic situation as a result of the Nagorno-Karabakh War.[5] It was further exacerbated by the Leninakan earthquake which in December 1988 struck northwestern Armenia, the area where most of the Greeks used to live. The largest Greek communities are in Yerevan and Alaverdi, followed by Vanadzor, Gyumri, Stepanavan and Noyemberyan.
The Armenian community in Greece is much larger, numbering about 50,000 [2]. The number was even higher but migration to North America has caused an evident reduction. The largest Armenian communities are in Athens and Thessaloniki.

New Labels On Drug Bottles Warn Patients
Published February 29th, 2012

The FDA announced the entire class of statin drugs will get new labels that alert the public to safety concerns.
Statins, used to lower high cholesterol, will now come with a warning that they can cause memory loss and confusion.
The new labels will also warn doctors and patients that the type of drug can cause an increase in blood sugar levels and increase the risk of type two diabetes.
Nearly 32 million Americans are on statins, such as lipitor.

Study finds U.S. music awash in booze and drugs
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - They have lyrics such as "Tequila makes her clothes fall off" and "Breakin down the good weed, rollin' the blunt/Ghetto pimp tight girls say I'm the man."
U.S. popular music is awash with lyrics about drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Medical researchers have reviewed the words of the 279 top songs of 2005 to estimate just how common they are.
Their report on Monday showed a third of the songs had explicit references to substance abuse. And two-thirds of these references placed drugs, alcohol and tobacco in a positive light by associating them with sex, partying and humor, according to the team led by Dr. Brian Primack of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
They calculated that with Americans aged 15 to 18 listening to 2.4 hours of music daily, they hear 84 musical references to substance use a day and more than 30,000 a year.
Certain genres contained more references than others -- for example, rap and country music far more so than pop.
The study did not quantify references to sex, violence or expletives.
Primack noted that music and popular culture in general long have been infused with substance use references.
"It's not going to be feasible or even desirable to censor these messages," Primack said in a telephone interview. "Probably a more empowering approach is to teach kids to analyze and evaluate the messages for themselves." Continued...

Koichi Wakata has been on the International Space Station since March, and for the last month of his stay has been wearing the same pair of underpants. He was testing a new fabric called J-Wear, designed specifically for long space missions. Wakata said that "I haven't talked about this underwear to my crew members," but noted that "I wore them for about a month, and my station crew members never complained for about a month, so I think the experiment went fine."

Evan Rachel Wood ready for motherhood
Evan Rachel Wood admits pregnancy hasn't been easy, but she is feeling calmer now.
The 25-year-old actress is expecting her first child with husband Jamie Bell. While Evan is looking forward to welcoming the baby into the world, she admits it hasn't been a straightforward experience.
"It's been a whirlwind roller coaster, it's been amazing. [But] it's not easy," she told the Huffington Post at the Tribeca Film Festival. "I've been through the gamut of like fear and excitement, but now I'm very calm and very ready. I feel really good.
"I was excited once I popped because it's really something you can hold and be proud of and I've just kind of embraced all the mini changes that happen, so I'm enjoying it."
Evan went on to discuss her pregnancy cravings, revealing she couldn't stop eating vinegar-soaked snacks.
"I've been really tired and gone through different cravings, but nothing really weird has happened," she explained. "Pickled onions may be the weirdest thing I've craved. Oh man, I couldn't get enough pickled onions."
Evan is due to give birth in the summer and although she knows the sex of her baby she is keeping it a secret. The star has been busy making plans for the baby's room, which will have a laidback feel.
"I am designing the nursery right now. It's going to have kind of like a Bohemian, Indian kind of theme to it," she added. "I figured I'm probably going to have to spend a lot of time in here - it's not going to know what's going on - so might as well."

Great Product!
By Emily Alyssa
from Ottawa Valley, Ontario
I just received Trind Nail Brightener this morning and so far I love it! I paint my nails a lot but have been trying to let them get healthier and grow out a bit lately. I don't like the look of bare nails so I decided to try the nail brightener. It went on fast, dried almost instantly and within a minute I could see the difference already. The beds of my nails looked so healthy and shiny and just brightened up my whole hand. Since my nails are so short, I don't have a lot of white showing so I could see a bit of brightening there but not much since there isn't much to see! I will definitely be continuing to use this product whenever I feel like my hands need a break from colour.
Just an expensive topcoat
By MMForever

I don't understand how this got such good reviews but I guess every product works different for everyone. I have natural, long nails and this just looked like a topcoat on. Not impressed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

just out of curiosity Jay, why the cutout in the rad support, and not just a shorter radiator?

You might want bigger holes and some on the end. The properties of water allow it to cling to a hole that small. Thus making them pointless.
Those holes are not for drainage. As mentioned I will be adding support to the front motor mount and Those will be used for spot welds similar to the factory setup just a whole lot stronger. Once the filler tub is welded in place and I figure out exactly where the rad is going to sit ill add a couple holes for drainage purposes..
Got the new radiator tub all welded in and pretty much ready for body work.. Fun fun.

like the radiator setup. might have to steal that idea
I like the looks of that!
To give my 2 cents... Just make sure the hood Catch does not hit it. Just sayin.
Hello tobi Miss you bud! Maybe arrange a visit soon?
Thanks guys I'm def pretty happy with how the rad setup has come along so far.
Jodi, Check page 2 silly
I have totally missed this, very good build. Really like the out come this far.

Not too much exciting happening the last few days.. Got my motor mounts pressed in and tinkered a little bit today.. Ever have one of those days in the shop when your there for a good while and don't get anything done? Ahahaha yeah that was my day today
Decided I wanted to hide my hood latch hardware
Also decided to work on my intake manifold abit. The casting was def very rough and I also had to port match a little bit to the head. Got about 3/4's of the way done and ran out of sanding disks..
Next up was getting the broken/stripped studs out of my exhaust manifold.. Got all but 2 out. Even with heat they ended up breaking so I'll have to drill and helicoil them. I slapped it on the head and bolted on the downpipe for the hell of it.
I'm really shooting to spray some
More primer in the bay and have the motor mocked up by the end of this coming week.. We'll see what happens
rad tuck looks familiar
looking good bro!
How will you fill it if that is the radiator of choice? Pull it out, fill it, and put it back in? Just wondering. besides the point, it looks fantastic
Well ive Been getting some stuff done on the car, slow and steady but making progress nonetheless..
I finished up the body work on the rad support area and decided to spray some primer on it.
From there I thought I should just go ahead and hit the whole bay. There were a bunch of bare metal spots from sanding, plus the spots i had to fix where the seam sealer had failed originally..
Also did a bit of work in the rain tray. This will get some more attention but it was nice to see it in primer finally.
Next I had been kinda stressing over how I was going to secure the wiring once it was ran in the wheel well.. I didn't want to weld studs and mess up the body work I had done in the bay.. I was weary of using any sort of adhesive clamps.. Well yesterday it popped into my head to just run the wiring a bit higher in the wheel well and use the fender mounting surface. So I ended up drilling a couple holes and welding studs facing down that will later be used to bolt p clamps to. Once that was done I went ahead and coated the inner wings with POR15
Lastly I was messing around trying to find a good spot for my ignition coil.. I had initially thought of putting it in the rain tray but all my msd stuff will be going in there and it's def a bit packed once I tried to find a good spot for the coil.. I think it may end up here..
well that's it for now. I just got a couple more parts in the mail and more on the way so like I said. Slow and steady
So stoked for this to be coming together Jay Byrd.....keep up the great werk...

This build is awesome. Cant wait to see me updates. Also rad placement is great, very clean.
Looks Good Bird... Coil will not work there I don't think. The axle is real close to all of that schtuff. I would also be concerned with heat. Either way... Good Work.
Thanks guys!
Good thought Doyle, little stuff like that is exactly why I want to mock the motor up first so I don't end up
This Sunday could be a big day, I went and retrieved our engine hoist today after work, so now I can lift the motor off the stand, get my clutch assembly on and attach the trans. YAHH!!
