While you may first recognize Jeremy Cowart's photography from his magazine shoots or album covers, like Kelly Clarkson's recent holiday album, the scope of Cowart's work encompasses numerous mediums and areas of photography. He began as a graphic designer, worked on creating a smartphone application, and has built non-profits with strong communities to support them, and he also happens to be a photographer.
I recently had the chance to speak with Cowart about his work and methodology from his beginnings to his current status as a respected celebrity photographer.
How did you first get involved with photography?
"I was a graphic designer beforehand and I studied design in school. I ran my own design company for a while and then when digital cameras came out I thought it would be cool to shoot textures and things to use in my design work. So once I started shooting textures I just fell in love with the process of shooting and I decided this is what I want to do instead. This is what I would rather be doing."
Cowart started out with digital since it was what he needed for his design-centered work. He also wasn't a trained or experienced photographer and just needed something to fill his needs. This turned out to be the Canon PowerShot G1 point-and-shoot digital camera.
What led you to choose the Canon G1?
"At the time there weren't many options in the digital world. That was just about it. So a friend recommended it to me and my parents bought me my first camera in high school and it was a Canon so I had already trusted the Canon brand." This only proves the saying that it is the photographer and not the camera. The 3.3MP and tiny image sensor as well as what my guess wasn't the sharpest lens around would be unthinkable today, but back when Cowart started shooting, it was exactly the thing to get started. So, what got you to make the big jump to a professional camera? "I fell in love with it. I started shooting friends and taking it more seriously, so when DSLRs really started developing I of course jumped on board. I started shooting my friends and shooting album covers and taking it much more seriously." I followed up with the obvious question.
So, what got you to make the big jump to a professional camera?
"I fell in love with it. I started shooting friends and taking it more seriously, so when DSLRs really started developing I of course jumped on board. I started shooting my friends and shooting album covers and taking it much more seriously." I followed up with the obvious question.
What did you get?
"My first actual gear was not even a 5D, it was the first version of the professional DSLR. I believe it was the original EOS-1D. With that I had the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, and EF 50mm f/1.4 USM." The most interesting part about the selection is the reasoning about it. And the dramatic leap of faith Cowart took in spending a lot of money on gear that he knew little about.
"I didn't have a clue and someone recommended these [to me]. I knew absolutely nothing about photography when I bought all my gear. Absolutely nothing."
This could explain why his favorite lens is the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM. It allows him to just go and shoot without worrying about all the technical requirements that he may or may not encounter. The versatility of zooms is definitely what makes it Cowart's go-to lens. But, it excludes a large part of what many photographers consider essential gear.
What about primes? Why don't you own any?
"I still rent primes a lot when I go on bigger shoots, but I'm not really a technical dude. A lens is a lens in my book, I'm not really freaking out about different lenses. Way too many people geek out about this stuff but you should be able to make beautiful images with any lens."
It is true. A good camera does not necessarily make a good photographer. It is the thought and collaboration behind a photograph that make it great. This is why Cowart has spent the past couple years developing an app for iPhones that makes the idea-sharing process much easier.
OKDOTHIS was released on November 25, 2013 to much applause and celebration. It was the first app that allowed for the direct sharing of ideas right on your camera's screen. Also, since most people always carry their smartphone, it means that you will have access to it nearly anywhere.
How does it work?
"Essentially, it is idea sharing on your camera screen. So you can add ideas, or as we call them "DOs". So you can add a DO and then you can do your friends DOs and then you can look at other people's DOs. There's also a photo feed where you can browse through photos. And while you scroll, the DO is below each photo. Then you can choose to engage and do that DO as well, or you can keep scrolling.
"We have categories like Street Photography, Fashion, Selfies, and all kinds of different kinds of categories. We have an editorial section called Discover where you can find other great photographers and great photos, and great DOs. There are lots of different ways to find great content in our Discover section."
This app could easily be the alternative to Instagram. I think it is a great concept and, perhaps most importantly, it sounds like fun. So how did this idea evolve from Cowart's previous work?
"I don't know. I'm always having ideas. The more I create and the older I get, the seemingly more ideas I have. I heard someone say it's like having a bunch of planes surrounding an airport and you are just trying to get one to land at a time. This is just another plane that I am trying to land, with of course a great team. I am not doing this myself. There is a very talented team that is building this."
The biggest lesson here is that collaboration is key. Very few grand projects were made by a single person. Understanding the benefits of working with teams and in groups can help you develop something you may not have thought possible. For example, Cowart's journey into professional photography was developed through early shoots with his friends who were in bands.
This redesigned EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens from Canon ups the ante for optical performance for a professional standard zoom lens. It has one Super UD lens element and two UD lens elements that minimize chromatic aberrations in the periphery at wide-angle, as well as reducing color blurring around the edges of the subject. In addition, two types of aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area, as well as through the full zoom range. Optimized lens coatings help ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting.
A ring-type USM and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms ensure silent, fast autofocusing. The lens is constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance, while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens reduce fingerprints and smearing. A circular 9-blade diaphragm gives beautiful, soft backgrounds. A zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide end for safe transporting while attached to an EOS DSLR camera over the shoulder.
So how did you become involved with entertainment photography?
"It just started. I live in Nashville, which is music city, and most of my friends are in the music business. Mostly musicians and bands and so I just started shooting for friends.
Then after a while those friends got signed to record labels, those record labels started hiring me and then an agent from Hollywood found me through my entertainment work and she started sending me to movie companies and magazines and television studios. It was a very organic path that kind of naturally worked out."
This style of shooting is largely benefitted by his choice of focal lengths between 24-200mm for a majority of his work. The 24-70mm lens which Cowart finds on his camera the most provides the ability to produce great portraits with a shallow depth of field and low distortion at the 70mm end and yet can quickly go wide for shooting group shots.
For example, he recently shot photographs for the relatively new show "The Have and the Have Nots." This involved a variety of stylized group shots, complete with makeup artists, wardrobe, along with the talent themselves.
Cowart says these are exciting because of the fast-paced nature of the shoot and the fact that it is a challenge to produce the images needed. This is where a high-quality zoom lens can come in handy. If you are shooting a group and individual portraits you will likely need to change between a wide-angle lens and a telephoto rapidly to get the shots.
Also, you never know when you may need to take a few impromptu shots, as was the case when John Schneider asked Cowart to take some more images of him after the shoot. This was a shoot involving immensely emotional moments and required getting close to the subject. This was benefitted by a telephoto perspective to get close without suffocating the subject.
However, while some of his most famous shots may be gracing the covers of magazines or CDs, Cowart works on numerous personal projects including non-profit work.
One such project is Help-Portrait, a project with participants all around the world.
Could you explain the thought behind Help-Portrait?
"It is a very simple idea. Find someone in need, take their portrait, print their portrait, and deliver it. It was a very simple idea I put out there to the world and everybody started participating and now we have people in over 60 countries participating, it's pretty amazing."
What draws you to this non-profit work?
"There is a lot of thinking behind it. A lot of the photo industry is about ourselves. How can I be more famous? How can I be better? How can I be a bigger deal? I just don't care about that. I don't care to be more famous, I don't care to make a bigger name for myself. But, I do like the idea of how I can use my platform and what I've been given to help others. Or to point to something that's bigger than myself."
What kind of gear do you bring for these kinds of trips?
"I brought one light that is always with me where I go. It's the one small travel kit... Tiny, tiny kit. I took that, a small softbox, and my EOS 5D Mark II with all the lenses to just go down there and make it happen."
There isn't much but it seems to work well.
Have you been looking at any new gear?
"I've had most of my gear now since the start, almost 8 years, it is all beat up and it's time to get a fresh set of gear. I'm just going to get the EOS 5D Mark III, the new EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, the new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, a fresh computer, all that good stuff. I need the latest and greatest."
What do you like about your Canon gear?
"Everything. It's what I know and it is what I've used my whole career." And to tie everything up, Cowart does have a goal for his work and for why he does what he does. "I have kids as well and I want to leave a legacy for them and teach them not only with my words but with my life. Lead as an example to them. It's really not about us but it is about our talents and how we use our talents to help other people. That is really my mission statement if you will."
This is a fantastic article & thank you to all the photographers that contributed To B & H, I'm new to the newsletters & communication, I hope that this is a regular publication. Nice job!
I truly enjoyed this article very much. I've been thinking of getting involved in none profit work. I want to give something back to my surrounding communities.

abiotic factors
There are only a couple abiotic factors in the savanna that you can really recognize.
One is fire. Fire is the most important abiotic factor to the savanna. without the constant fires a tropical savanna could turn into a tropical forest!
Another abiotic factor is soil. There really isn't much to say about the soil except that it is real important to plants and the animals that eat the plants
Air and water are the two last abiotic factors in the savanna. Everybody knows the importance of air to any biome. Without it survival would be impossible. Water is just as important.During the summer or dry season there really isn't a lot of water.Trees store water during the wet season so they have water during the dry season. Just like air, without waterthe chances of living are very slim.

It raised requirements for minimum Brazilian content in oil field development and required that Petrobras increase its already dominant share of exploration and production.
It also wanted to ensure the royalties were used for long-term purposes such as education, and avoid "Dutch disease" – an overvaluation of the local currency as a result of oil and other commodities exports that devastates local manufacturing industries.
In practice, the uncertainty generated by the law has halted, since 2008, what had previously been annual oil-rights auctions. Leases sold through such auctions helped more than double Brazilian output from 1997 to 2008.
"The government took a law that worked, that was responsible for our oil industry's success, and changed it anyway," said Adriano Pires, head of the Brazilian Infrastructure Institute, a Rio de Janeiro energy research group. "The result is a mess."
The law's changes in royalty rules touched off a dispute between oil-producing states and the rest of Brazil that could block auctions planned for this year.
The law also gave Petrobras the exclusive right to run all future exploration and output in the most promising areas of Brazil's Campos and Santos Basins, home to nearly 90 per cent of Brazil's output.
Companies that had considered long-term commitments to Brazil such as Devon Energy Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. have since scaled back Brazilian plans or left. In the case of Devon, easier- and cheaper-to-produce shale gas and oil in the United Sates seemed a better bet than Brazil's complex offshore options.
This has placed more responsibility on Petrobras and it is already unable to meet its production and expansion goals under a $237-billion (U.S.) five-year plan, the world's largest corporate-spending program.
Petrobras output has dropped for eight straight months. That has crimped cash flow just as the government is pushing it harder to build hundreds of ships, dozens of drill rigs and production platforms, and five new refineries needed to develop its new reserves.
Arguably the most damaging action, though, has been the government's fuel-pricing policies. The failure to allow Petrobras to raise domestic gasoline and diesel prices in line with world prices prompted its first loss in 13 years in the second quarter of 2012, and added more than $8-billion in 2012 losses at its refining unit.
The government has kept fuel prices low in an effort to control inflation in the wider economy. Inflation is already running above 5.7 per cent on an annual basis, near the top of the central bank's target range, as a tight labour market and historically low interest rates push prices higher.
While saying fuel prices are likely to rise this year, Finance Minister Guido Mantega – who is also Petrobras's board chairman – has not set a date.
The impact on Petrobras shares has been significant. They now trade for less than they did before Petrobras made its first giant oil discoveries in 2007.
In 2008, Petrobras's discoveries helped make it, along with General Electric Co., Exxon Mobil and Microsoft Corp., one of the world's 10 biggest companies by market value.
Today, despite the discovery of billions of barrels of reserves and a $78-billion share sale in 2010 – the largest sale of new stock in history – Petrobras's valuation on the stock market is about the same as Companhia de Bebidas das Americas SA (Ambev), a Brazilian brewer.
Artificially cheap gasoline has had another major, unintended side effect: It has hurt ethanol by making it uncompetitive. Sugar cane farmers responded by cutting production, and ethanol prices soared.
Ethanol demand peaked in 2009. Since then, prices have more than doubled, even as sales plunged 41 per cent.
Ethanol, which once made up more than a fifth of all Brazilian fuel sales and was more widely used than gasoline, was competitive on average in only two of Brazil's 27 states in each of the 12 months through November, Brazil's fuels distributors' association said.Report Typo/Error

any tips for weddings in mission san juan capistrano?
Getting married next year at Mission San Juan Capistrano. Would appreciate tips from couples that got married there already :) Thanks!
Posted in San Juan Capistrano, CA, USA
Written on Oct. 17, 2010
Hello. I haven't gotten married YET, but our wedding is coming up. Who is marrying you? What questions do you have? We've been through most of the process with meeting with the preist and engagement encounter and all that... you can ask me for details.
We've done that too. I'm just worried I heard bad stories about getting married at the Mission San Juan Cap that they're too strict with everything. I'm trying to put together a miselette for the ceremony. I just find it weird that they assigned a wedding day coordinator too and the lady doesn't offer any information you're the one that needs to ask all the info.
Yes, we've run into that too. Are you dealing with Lisa & Lauren? Lauren is super helpful, but she organizes the music, but she helped me a lot more than Lisa. I just had to request our rehearsal date and time. When is your wedding? Who is marrying you? Father Michael is way more laid back than Monsignor. I heard that Monsignor will not allow bare back or shoulders. I've been working o my program for the ceremony too, and I had to find one on the internet t go off of, they wouldn't help me. Lauren told me she'd take a look at mine closer to the date and help me fix anything I got wrong. I can send you mine if that'll help.
Yes I have Lauren for music and Lisa for the wedding. I will meet with Lauren in December and my wedding is April 2011. I'm a non parishioner and Marilyn told me that I need to find my own priest. If I push for a priest at SJC would they give it to me? My priest in my own parish said SJC should provide since the fee is already a lot for nonparishioners. But that's another discussion. I went to a wedding and they have a good miselette. I'll scan and email it to you if you want. Do u mind emailing me yours? Thanks.
weird. I dont have a meeting with either of the girls. I just emailed back and forth with them. You really have to find your own priest? Do you have one that you like? Ask if you can make an appointment with Father Michael. He's a little kookie, but he's super nice. Maybe he can tell you he'd marry you? The church is super expensive. My sisters got married there 10 years ago and each of their weddings were $200 total for everything. Now, well you know its way more than that. My program is o my home computer.
by the way.. where are you having your reception? What are your colors?
my color is sort of lighter shade of fuscia and silver. i think i can find a priest. i'm more concerned regarding the program itself for day of the wedding. i was even thinking of getting a day of wedding coordinator but the ones i've contacted charge about $1,000. i dont get to meet with lisa, she said she does everything through email or phone. but lauren asked me to set a date with her when we can go over the music. i think they recommend atleast 3 months before the wedidng. did you choose music from the music sheet that came in the packet or did you request other songs not on their list? when is your wedding?
My color is wine. a mix between red and purple. I thought that Lisa was the day of coordinator. She handles everything... and does the rehearsal. Our wedding is March 12, 2011, so just before yours. I picked all my music through the packet that Marilyn gave me. Where is your reception?
The songs I have selected this far are:
21 Where there is love
22 Wherever you go
Marian Songs
24 Ava Maria
Processional & Recessional
31 Bridal March (Bride entrance)
32 Canon in D (bridal party entrance)
36 Jesu, Joy of Mns Desiring
38 Ode to Joy
50 Wedding march (Bride & Groom departure)
yeah lisa is supposed to be day of wedding coordinator. but she offers no help though. maybe i just dont ask her questions. i'm at the beginning phase and just trying not to stress out. reception is at hyatt in garden grove. i actually listened to the cd they sent with the package and it's pretty good. are you getting the extra additional musicians?
Yes, we are going to do a string trio. I am really excited about that. We're saving money on all the would be decorations though - since they strongly discourage you from doing any decorations. I would LOVE to do candles(LED even) all down the aisle, but then I know they would be donated to the church... What made you pick this church?

Are Economics PhDs Learning the Wrong Thing?
"Sure, I'll be your straight man," says Gene Grossman. He's the chair of Princeton's economics department, which U.S. News & World Report ranks in a four-way tie for first with Harvard, MIT, and the University of Chicago. He has rather reasonably agreed to answer a rather rude question: Are the best graduate programs screwing up their economists?
Last week Bloomberg Businessweek ran a short piece on Varoufakis, the former head of the economics PhD program at the University of Athens. Funding has run out for the program, and Varoufakis is now teaching in Austin, Tex. When it was thriving, however, the PhD program in Athens tried to train economists in a new way: It forced them to understand the math of economic modeling but also taught them philosophy and the history of economics.
Varoufakis wanted his students to understand what economic models couldn't do. "One of the great problems that economics has as a discipline is that we have a tendency to mathematize our theories," says Varoufakis, "Physicists have done wonders with this, but the problem is, the moment you try to mathematize an economic hypothesis, you end up with mathematical models that are highly indeterminate." By "indeterminate," he means that economic models can produce a range of answers. You can fix this by assuming one of two things to be true: Either everyone has the exact same motivations, or time doesn't exist. "If you introduce both complexity and time in the same model," says Varoufakis, "anything goes."
The Rational Expectations hypothesis, for example, predicts that an increase in money supply from a central bank will necessarily create inflation. It assumes that everyone is the same, omniscient person. Varoufakis points to formulas such as Black-Scholes and Value at Risk, which investors use to price derivatives and assess firm-wide risk. "They're actually very nice," he says, "I spent many hours happily studying them; they were like a piece of art. And each and every one of them had the same assumption in it—that everyone knows everything in advance." The problem, says Varoufakis, was not the models themselves, but the way they were taken as articles of faith. Having mastered a model, he says, "you feel that you are one of the masters of the universe, it gives you a false sense of security when, effectively, [the models] are assuming reality away. "
Journals and universities prefer economists who can present something that looks like science. Economists who enter the financial sector find themselves committed to assumptions that make them lots of money. Abstract models inform concrete government policy. "My extreme worry," says Varoufakis, "was that the young PhDs coming through the ranks worldwide were utterly illiterate."
I e-mailed James K. Galbraith, who holds a chair in government and business at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, Austin. He suggested that UT hire Varoufakis, so he's inclined to be sympathetic, but he shares the same perspective. In an e-mail, he writes about the "mysticism" in models, which he defines in two ways: "(1) models that traffic in concepts with no operational meaning—abstractions that will never be observed or measured—and (2) models that frame (mis-frame) problems in ways that lead to extreme and unreasonable policy conclusions. … These are serious issues in the United States, and they do have something to do with the lack of training in economic history and history of economic thought."
Galbraith's and Varoufakis's worry has been around for 20 years, says Grossman at Princeton. "It comes and goes. It particularly comes when economic times are hard, when it appears that the old way has let us down." Did the old way let us down? "No," he answers, "which is very different from saying we know everything. … I don't think medicine has let us down because there are diseases we don't know how to cure."
Grossman agrees that models can be abused. An economist is obliged to spell out assumptions, he says, though "just because you write down your assumptions doesn't mean they're good assumptions." Like Varoufakis, he describes interests in the real world that are neither neutral nor academic. "There's no question that if you're a trade economist and you write a model that says protection is great," he says, "the interests will use your model. And they will hire you."
What economists talk about, he says, matters to pocketbooks—more so than with physicists. But he doesn't think this should change the way his department trains economists. He is in the business of teaching people who will graduate and go looking for jobs. "You have to teach graduate students the discipline," he says, "otherwise you're doing them a disservice." Princeton has not altered its approach since the financial crisis, other than changes individual professors have made to their core macroeconomics courses.
Harald Uhlig, chair of the economics department at the University of Chicago, another of the No. 1-rated economics graduate schools in the U.S., offers a kind of a model of his own. In an e-mail, he writes: "Above all, I do not believe in central planning. What is true in private markets is true in PhD education as well: It is good to see different places try different approaches, to let the PhD students decide where they want to be educated, and to let the marketplace for future scientists decide what works and what does not. I am sure that if the new PhD program in Athens is successful and produces the top young economics researchers of the next generation, many other PhD programs will take notice."
It's not clear whether Uhlig already knew that the department in Athens is on its last legs, so we'll take his e-mail at face value. It, too, contains an assumption: that the market for grants and hires at economics departments is driven by quality and value to the public alone.

After Hobby Lobby, A Wave of Storytelling
Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that not all "closely-held" corporations are required to comply with Obamacare's Contraceptive Care mandate. Companies with religious convictions that conflict with contraception can refuse to provide it for their employees. In her 35-page dissent, Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote that the court "has ventured into a minefield." This decision may be the first of many that rules in favor of corporations rather than individuals. CNN's analysis asked, "Will [such businesses] be allowed to refuse to do business with people in same-sex marriages? All sorts of questions arise from this decision," even beyond reproductive rights.
While many critics have wondered "how far could this go?" others have spoken out with stories close to home. Women have illustrated situations in which they were able to assert their right to choose. They aren't necessarily Hobby Lobby inspired, which makes them all the more important. No matter what the Supreme Court rules, abortion is a reality we should talk about. Some of these stories are surprisingly funny, some are painful, others are matter-of-fact. All of them show that abortion happens, and it's a decision women shouldn't have to make alone.
Lucy Flores is a Democratic member of the Nevada State Assembly and this year she's running for lieutenant governor. She's not afraid to tell her personal story: Flores dropped out of high school and did time in juvenile prison before getting her GED and earning her bachelor's degree in political science from USC. In an MSNBC profile titled, "Is Lucy Flores the Latina star Democrats have been waiting for?" writer Benjy Sarlin mentioned Flores' own abortion story, which she'd told while testifying on a Nevada sex-education bill in 2013.
Flores had six sisters, all of whom were pregnant in their teens. Flores only avoided motherhood because, at 16, she got an abortion. She didn't know about birth control, and she didn't have access to it. Though she received a deluge of death threats from anti-choicers, Flores says, "I don't regret it because I am here making a difference, at least in my mind, for many other young ladies and letting them know that there are options and they can do things to not be in the situation I was in, but to prevent."
Polling data showed that 59 percent of people like Flores more after hearing her life story, and her strength has earned her the hashtag #FierceFlores. We hope her brave admission will inspire other politicians to speak candidly about their pasts while working towards a freer future.
Hear more of Flores' story, and click through to see other powerful women's reactions to Hobby Lobby.

More Yahoo! Messenger Features
Yahoo! Messenger is one of the most popular programs used by millions of Internet users, mainly for the purpose of keeping in touch with the people we know. This program not only lets you instant message with your friends and family, but it also provides tools for contacting people through a microphone and a Webcam. You can also send different types of files to them and interact in many other ways. This tip, in particular, will address these additional "special" features provided by Yahoo! Messenger. These features are what makes it different from some of the other providers out there. Let's check it out!
In addition to some of the more standard features Yahoo! Messenger provides, these include voice and Webcam conversations, basic chat rooms (called conferences), groups, a wide selection of emoticons, sending files and photo sharing. This messenger provider also offers IMVironments, Audibles, the Buzz! option and games!
The availability of the IMVironment feature enables you to choose a certain animated background to fill the screen of the instant messaging box you have with a particular user online. By clicking on this button, which is the mini-toolbar right above the typing space of the instant messaging box, all the IMVironments are listed. It lists everything from the new ones, more popular ones, recently used ones and everything in between. They are all organized into general categories as well, so you won't have trouble finding one you like. For example, if you want to choose an especially interactive IMVironment, "Doodle" is an ideal one, which is listed under Yahoo! Tools. This is a drawing game that can be played between you and the person you are chatting with.
Another feature, Audibles, are images accompanied by sounds that you can send to other Yahoo! Messenger users during your conversation. If you click on the lips (the second icon on the mini-toolbar above the text box), all the options are displayed and you can choose which one to send to your friend. These are organized into different categories as well and you can preview them before you send them off. These audibles make every conversation much more entertaining!
The Buzz! option is the exclamation point, located right next to the text icon on the mini-toolbar. This feature basically allows you to inform or alert the other person by shaking the message box and making a buzzing noise. This is a helpful feature to use if the other person forgets to respond for some reason or another and you want to get their attention right away.
Finally, the Games option is the larger icon located on the upper toolbar. You can play games with the person you are chatting with as well. The games offered by Yahoo! Messenger are Pool, Literati, Backgammon, Toki Toki Boom, Checkers, Chess, Dominoes, Pearl Hunter and Word Racer. With the many different features Yahoo! Messenger provides, in addition to the standard instant messaging, keeping in touch with your friends and family members has never been more enjoyable or easier!
Have fun!

About This Wine
Some of the world's finest wines hail from the Bordeaux region of France.
There are several distinct districts within the appellation, including the home of Chateau Clos La Chapelle — Cotes de Bordeaux Cadillac. There, the vineyards are planted around the town of Cadillac, at the southern end of the Entre-deux-Mers district.
All wines made in Cotes de Bordeaux Cadillac are red, and most are blends of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. That's the varietal mix embraced by Chateau Clos La Chapelle, and the 2010 vintage is an amazingly soft and plush wine, which means it's not only a satisfying sipper, but also a versatile companion to food.
Among the entrees recommended by our tasting panel to accompany it: grilled pork with rosemary, a sirloin steak in a wine sauce, stuffed veal, and medium-flavored soft cheeses. When a wine is this good, it deserves food equally as superb... or to simply be savored solo.

Had fraxel restore done 5 time and my skin looks great. I have a dark complexion Fitzgerald IV, so i was also worried about PIH. After the first 3 treatments I was not satisfied.. my scars were too deep and it looked like fraxel did absolutely nothing.
My fourth treatment the doctor also did dermaroller along with the laser, after this treatment i was partially satisfied my skin look ok; not great..I decided to make one last attempt since at my initial consultation the doctor recommended 5 procedures.
I did the 5th procedure a few days ago and my skin healed the scars are barely noticeable. I feel the results are great.. I was not a candidate for Co2 laser because of my dark skin type too much risk for PIH.

MPHS Outpatient Diabetes and Nutrition Services Recognized by ADA for Ninth Year
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently awarded Mills-Peninsula Health Services' outpatient diabetes and nutrition services with the ADA Education Recognition Certificate, recognizing quality diabetes self-management.
This is the ninth consecutive year that this department has received the honor. MPHS was first recognized in 2002.
The Recognition Certificate assures that educational programs meet the national standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs. Programs that achieve recognition status have a staff of knowledgeable health professionals who can provide participants with comprehensive information about diabetes management.
"This certificate is awarded for high-quality education, which is an essential component of effective treatment," said Cindy Rudolph, RN, coordinator of diabetes and nutrition services at Mills-Peninsula.

Mills-Peninsula First in Area to Earn Breast MRI Accreditation
The Breast Program at the Mills-Peninsula Women's Center has received a three-year breast MRI program accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR), reports Dorothy Goekler, Mills-Peninsula's operations manager for imaging.
Mills-Peninsula is currently one of only 13 facilities in California accredited by ACR in breast MRI and the only location on the Peninsula.
ACR accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR practice guidelines and technical standards after a peer review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed.

How Technology Boosts Heart Attack Survival Rates
New cardiac care techniques and technology are saving lives now at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center.
Heart ailments are generally divided into two types – irregular heart rhythms or mechanical blockages. A rapid heart rhythm occurs when electrical impulses cause an abrupt loss of heart function called a cardiac arrest. Cardiologists who deal with these concerns are electrophysiologists.
Blockages, usually caused by a buildup in an artery of fatty deposits called plaque, cut off blood supply to the heart muscle, which leads to a heart attack. Specialists called interventional cardiologists deal with these conditions. Read More about How Technology Boosts Heart Attack Survival Rates
Patient-Centered Care: New Hospital Built to Focus on Patient & Family Experience
High-Tech and Environment Support Healing
Mills-Peninsula Health Services designed and built the new hospital to be a healing environment, always focused on patients and their families. Several medical advancements enhance the efficiency of this hospital that opened on May 15, 2011.
"We're not looking at just the clinical side of healing, but also the emotional side," said Zani Weber, vice president of the patient experience. "It's a more holistic way of caring for people."
All Private Rooms
The new rooms were purposefully designed to provide a familiar, peaceful environment where people can feel safe, calm and comfortable, which promotes healing, Weber said. All 241 beds are in private rooms, each with natural light from a window that faces outside the hospital or to an inner courtyard garden.
"It's airy, quiet and restful," she said. "Patients aren't sharing a room with a stranger at a time that is already very stressful for them and their family."
Nursing staff also has the ability to provide highly individualized care in private rooms. Patients can choose when they want showers and meals. Food is selected from a menu, cooked to order and served hot to the bedside on request. Patient-only designated elevators ensure additional privacy.
There are also four healing gardens where sunshine and greenery are accessible without ever leaving the hospital.
No More Visiting Hours
Private rooms make it possible to remove restrictions on visiting.
"Patients can have their family with them whenever they want, regardless of the acuity of their illness, even in the Intensive Care Unit," Weber said.
A family member can also spend the night with their loved one; "family" is defined by the patient, which for some may be a close friend. Each room is equipped with a sleeper bed or chair to accommodate an overnight guest. Every unit also has a family lounge and kitchen which visitors can share.

Philippine typhoon death 10,000; Inching toward Vietnam
The deadly storm that hit the Philippines on Friday is inching closer to Vietnam. Forecasters predict the typhoon will make landfall there Monday morning.
Typhoon Haiyan weakened to 101 miles-per-hour Sunday as it approached central and northern Vietnam.
Despite weakening, the storm is likely to cause heavy rains, flooding, strong winds and mudslides, as it makes its way north in the South China Sea.
The government's website said,Vietnamese authorities have moved more than 880,000 people in central provinces to safe zones.
At least six people were killed due to heavy rain and strong winds, state media reported.
Several hundred domestic and international flights have been canceled ahead of the typhoon.
In the central Philippines on Sunday, a senior official confirmed that at least 10,000 people were killed.
Huge waves swept away entire coastal villages and devastated the region's main city.
But after arriving in Tacloban on Saturday, Interior Secretary Max Roxas said it was too early to know how many people had died.
The death toll is expected to rise sharply as rescue workers reach areas cut off by the fast-moving storm, whose circumference eclipsed the whole country and which late on Saturday was heading toward Vietnam.
Suggested Links
The weather system nearly 200-mph winds as it rampaged through the Philippines on Friday. It was downgraded overnight from a "super typhoon," equivalent to a category 4 or 5 hurricane, to a typhoon.
Along the way, it cut off many of the country's lines of communication, making it hard to establish the extent of its damage.
Pang stressed that the death toll estimates were being checked, and that a more precise number would emerge as rescuers reached unchecked areas.

I would like to get a couple of small/compact handguns to compliment my 92fs. I am leaning towards another 9mm. In addition to a 9mm I am thinking about adding a .22 for target shooting. I have heard god things about sigs but I really like the safety/decocker feature of the beretta and I dont know how the guns work that dont offer this. I dont know if I will ever get a concealed weapon permit but I think it would be nice to have a smaller gun to travel with. what recommendations do you have? Thanks in advance!
I love my Beretta 84fs.......very accurate, tight, great shooter....I only carry it in the winter....use the S&W Bodyguard for warm months...I like the .380 cal. for shooting, it's relatively cheap.....to me and I am sure, others, a lot of the smaller guns aren't mean't to be pounded with lots of rounds ie. Bodyguard, Ruger, Kel Tec etc. It's another reason I like my 84, small cal. but I think that it could take thousands and thousands of rounds, no problem, plus, I also like the decocker/safety, plus, I just like Berettas....
I am leaning towards a PX4 compact so the grip is not too small and I can stick with 9mm. Anything else? As far as the 22 it seems like the Ruger MK is the one to get.
Most Sigs are DA/SA with a decocker the longer and stiffer first trigger pull (DA)is the safety just like a revolver.....JJ
.22 ruger mk1 or mk2 or mk3 ...... for plinking, doesnt get better than that
If you`re looking for a fun gun thats reasonably priced look at the new Ruger SR22 22lr. I purchased one for my wife and I love to shoot it myself and I have expensive 22lr`s one being Smith 41 22 lr yet this Ruger is really fun to shoot....
When after years and years I FINALLY decided to fill my ".22LR semi-auto hole in my collection", I just wanted something a "little different".
Ruger's are fine. I REALLY like my Ruger Alaskan .454 Casull. If you're going to spend a bunch of cash, it's good to get a lot of metal in the bargain.
And, I'll stick up for the Woodsman !
I've wasted too many hours prowling gun shops and gun shows looking for a good Woodsman for a reasonable price.
I've never seen many for sale. And never for a "reasonable" price. I'm pretty sure a lot of people aren't willing to part with their's. It's a cult, for sure.
I think I've missed the boat on not "prowling" at estate sales, where I might be able to cheat the widow out of one of her hubby's prized possession.
Sigs have a decocker & doesn't need a safety IMHO
I bought a Sig P229 in 9mm and a .22 cal conversion kit and it works great.
Just change the slide & mags & shoot either cal in one gun.

Endless Blue! Endless Sea! - Poem by Captain Cur
Endless blue! Endless sea!
Oh! Fluid pulse of eternity.
Here I set my distant sight
on the full moon's guiding light.
Through the shoals of discontent
and the rainbows spectrum bent
by the crystal water's glare
from sol's rising restive stare;
stalling winds and bruising rains;
lightening sparks on white tipped plains;
fire skies and thunders dread;
quivering sails on slender threads;
my ship waylaid, my soul reborn
on a tidal swell, in the coming storm.
Here I sing this lay to thee,
Endless blue! Endless sea!
I love you….. with;
pirate heart and pirate soul,
ocean's stillness, ocean's flow,
pirate fears on stormy nights,
wistful tears on points of light,
pirate shores and distant lands,
pirate's raw yet steadfast hands,
pirate falls, flowing streams,
secret caverns, jetting springs,
lapping waves round earthen bands,
pirate's pure white unbleached sands,
simple language, primal truth,
pirate age and pirate youth,
summer's myth and healing breeze,
towering glaciers boastful freeze,
autumn's soft low hanging moon
and her rays pale crescent swoon,
spring's new life, green island coves,
budding blooms and, a pirate rose!
At the end of days,
my pirate's grave,
in hardened mud
under snowy ice.
I loved you….. with
my pirate's blood,
my pirate's life.

Love to write of the sea. Beautiful, and full of intrigue, it is one of my favorite attractions; there is so much to be found there.

About the book:
This book presents first-year calculus roughly in the order in which it first was discovered. The first two chapters show how the ancient calculations of practical problems led to infinite series, differential and integral calculus and to differential equations. The establishment of mathematical rigour for these subjects in the 19th century for one and several variables is treated in chapters III and IV. The text is complemented by a large number of examples, calculations and mathematical pictures and will provide stimulating and enjoyable reading for students, teachers, as well as researchers.List Of Internet Money Maker ( If you want to make money please sign in) 1. 2.

Rachel Armstrong:
Architecture that repairs itself?
Venice is sinking. To save it, Rachel Armstrong says we need to outgrow architecture made of inert materials and, well, make architecture that grows itself. She proposes a not-quite-alive material that does its own repairs and sequesters carbon, too.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas expressed his pessimism about any change in the current Isral-Palestinian conflict despite having extensive discussions with President Bush and Secretary of State Rice. "Frankly, so far nothing has been achieved. But, we are still conducting direct work to have a solution." Abbas belives a major stumbling block to peace is the refusal of the Bush administration to exert pressure on the Israel government to cease building settlements on the West Bank. "We demanded the Americans implement the first phase of the road map that talks about the cessation of settlement expansion. This is the biggest blight that stands as a big rock in the path of negotiations."
Aides to Abbas say he was infuriated with Secretary Rice's refusal to discuss the 1967 border issue. "We demanded that they talk about the 67 borders. None of them talk about the 67 borders." There are talks, there are negotiations, but, as Abbas put it, "the situation is still as it was."
President Bush explained to Abbas that he was "focusing on the bigger picture" which would entail once more expressing a declaration of principle. Bush apparently believes there is need for more declarations of principles, but Abbas believes there is need for some immediate action.
Bush procrastinates, Abbas fumes, and the Israel government continues its nonceasing drive to construct housing in the West Bank settlements.

We often rightly exclaim that God's mission happens "to, from and among all the world's peoples." In Japan, for instance, American Baptists work with the Japan Baptist Union, a group with a 130 year history in ministry. In 1884, a Baptist theological seminary was opened in Yokohama, a major port just south of Tokyo. Over the course of the last 120 years, what began as that one-room seminary has grown into Kanto Gakuin---an educational organization which serves over 15,000 students annually.
Recently, Christian leaders at Kanto Gakuin have been encouraging students and faculty to put the school's Christian convictions to work through volunteerism and service-learning. In the late 1990s, Kanto Gakuin Mutsuura Elementary School partnered with Japan Baptist Union and American Baptist missionaries serving in Northern Thailand, as well as local village leaders, to begin a number of development projects among the Karen people living in the remote "Golden Triangle." Many of the villages in this area can only be accessed by road four months out of the year. Most of the villages are without potable water, adequate sewage systems, and electrical power. Most disturbing is the fact that most of the Karen-speaking children in these villages don't have access to the Thai formal education system. This means that they often don't learn Thai, and can't become income-earning members of Thai society.
Recognizing this need, the students and faculty of Kanto Gakuin Mutsuura Elementary School, in consultation with their Thai partners, collected enough money in 2003 to build a dormitory to house Karen children at a base camp, where they could study in Thai for part of the year. This dorm is currently over capacity, serving more than 150 Karen children.
Kanto Gakuin University is also participating. Under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Makito Morishima, university students have been going to the Akha villages in another area of Thailand to volunteer their time and engage in service-learning every year since 2004. A church has been built in one village at the request of village leaders and a water purification system is currently in the process of being installed. This winter, Kanto Gakuin dedicated a new building at the base camp—the Kanto Gakuin Service Learning Center. This center will serve as an accessible station for students traveling up into more remote villages for development projects in years to come.
The pain of war lasts longer than we sometimes realize. In Southeast Asia, there is still a considerable feeling of resentment toward Japanese due to the Japanese occupation during World War II. In that context, it's truly a wonderful testament to God's healing grace to see Japanese Christians serving hand in hand with their brothers and sisters in Southeast Asia. This is truly a sign to the nations of God's reconciling power. Thanks be to God who honors all those who work patiently for the harvest!
- Please continue to keep your brothers and sisters in the Japan Baptist Union, and at Kanto Gakuin in your prayers as they engage in mission "to, from and among all the world's peoples."
Grace & Peace,
Dwight Davidson
Kanto Gakuin University
Yokohama, Japan

Underrated Talent on Waiver Wire with Pulkkinen, Griffith and Parenteau
Jacob Stoller
October 10 2016 04:15PM
It's quite rare to see not one, not two but potentially three top-nine calibre forwards placed on waivers. Many eyebrows seemed to be raised when Teemu Pulkkinen, Seth Griffith and PA Parenteau all ended up on waivers this morning. But a day before NHL rosters must be finalized and cap compliant, three intriguing players have made their way to the waiver wire and likely will get claimed which will surely lead to more roster shuffling before opening night.
NHLNumbers Season Preview: Power Rankings No. 15-11

Now we're beginning to inch towards the contenders. These are playoff teams. Well, they should be, so long as everything goes according to plan. These are teams with the upside to do some damage in the playoffs, but they're far enough from sure things that it's just as easy to visualize them on the outside looking in. These are teams 15-11 on the NHLN power rankings.
Projecting Rickard Rakell and Hampus Lindholm's Next Contracts
Pat Keogh
October 10 2016 11:22AM
The Anaheim Ducks are in a pickle. While they've got two young, budding stars in Swedes Rickard Rakell and Hampus Lindholm they've also got something of a cap crunch on their hands.
As a result, the pair of restricted free agents have gone unsigned and may miss time during the regular season that begins in just a few days. While the matter of how the Ducks will manage to sign both players with just $7.5 million in cap space is a discussion for another day, it's worth looking at, in a vacuum, what kind of contracts the players might receive.

Are Bigger Goalies Better At Stopping Medium Or Low Danger Shots?
October 10 2016 07:00AM
The biggest roster move the Leafs made this summer was acquiring Frederik Andersen from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for 30th overall, a 2017 second round draft pick, and Jonathan Bernier. One of the things that jumps out about Andersen is his size. At 6'4" and 230 pounds, he's one of the NHL's larger goalies, both in terms of height and width. Lamoriello said that was one of the things the Leafs liked about Andersen: "He gives us size which today is a necessity the way the game is played." Lou followed up by adding that, "his athleticism is exceptional."
While goaltending analysis has a lot of room to grow, we have a couple of extra tools available today than we did a few years ago. One of the things we can do is splitting up the shots a goalie faces based on "danger zones". If we divide shots into low, medium, and high danger zones (far, medium, and close distance, respectively), it turns out that whether low or medium danger shots become goals is almost entirely random. It seems to be the case that the only shots where differences in goaltender talent matter much are high danger shots.

One more question..... Do I even need the rail if I dont plan on putting a scope on or will the sight just bolt right on??
Hi there. This is my first post here so forgive my lack of knowledge. I just bought an 1895GBL and want to replace the sights with the XS Ghost ring sights that are found on the SBL. My question is this: will the rail and sights be an easy bolt on addition or will it be a pain in the butt? Thanks in advance
One more question..... Do I even need the rail if I dont plan on putting a scope on or will the sight just bolt right on??
Good day,
I have just finished upgrading my sights on my GBL so bear with me. You have three choices with the XS package. First is add the front and rear sights with no rail. It is simple and good to go. Nice basic design and very shootable. Your second choice is the same front and rear sights but add a scout rail that attaches to the two front scope mount screws on the receiver and the dovetail cut from the current rear sight. With this configuration you can mount a scout scope or red dot type optic. Your third choice is the full rail configuration that has the rear sight, rail and front sight. It allows you to use just the irons, normal scope or scout. Use quick release rings like the Leupolds and you can swap out your configuration. They all work, just depends on what you want to do and what kind of optics.
I hope this helps...

I did the same modification a few weeks ago to my GG. It was a nice and easy 30 minute job, as I did not want to scratch my gun up. I went for the full size rail with the front and rear sight.
So far I've never regretted it. It is an easy mod that you can do at home without a gunsmith.
g123, i just did this on my ABL and had no issues and i have no gunsmithing skills at all. this was my first ever "modification" to any gun. if you decide against the rail, you may want to get a dovetail filler/blank for the rear factory sight. i originally intended on leaving it in and just folding the rear sight down but the recoil popped it up after every shot. that got old so i removed the factory rear and replaced it with a filler/blank.Originally Posted by G123
Thanks for all the replys. I have already ordered the complete set up so it sounds like I'll be going that route. Since my first post I found the XS "how-to" video and it does look fairly simple.
It is not hard at all. I would suggest that you don't loctite everything down until you are confident in the position and set up of the rail. Once you are happy that the rail is not off centred and fitting properly, then you can lock it down with the supplied loctite.Originally Posted by G123
Good luck and don't forget to post pictures.

Marlin should have gone ahead and made a GBLR! Seems like a lot of people (me included) have gone with the XS setup.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:20pm
Sophomore attackman Tom Palasek and freshman attackman Matt Palasek asked for and have been granted a release from the Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team, coach Dave Pietramala confirmed this afternoon.
"We ended our relationship very amicably," Pietramala said. "In the end, both parties think it's the best thing for both groups. We wish them well and we will do what we can to help them as they seek out a new opportunity."
Pietramala said he had been in touch with several coaches about them, but did not know where they planned on attending, or if they planned on continuing to attend and play together.
Tom Palasek appeared in 14 games and started five for the Blue Jays this season, putting up 13 goals and seven assists out of both the attack and midfield. Matt Palasek appeared in five games and did not register a point.
About how he thought the Palaseks' departure would affect the Jays' offense, which graduates leading scorer Steven Boyle, next year, Pietramala pointed to the opportunity it'd give other players to step up.
"In the end, I don't think it [impacts our attack] too much. We've always been believers in 'it's a team thing.' It gives us an opportunity to put Zach Palmer back where he wants to be and belongs, and we return two starters there with Chris [Boland] and [Kyle] Wharton."
"You never want to lose kids, but in our sport [transferring] is happening more and more and more," Pietramala said. "I like to think we've handled it the right and been as helpful as we can be. In the end, you want to have guys that want to be at your place."
This news comes four days after Inside Lacrosse reported that Penn State attackman Matt Mackrides as granted his temporary release in the wake of Glenn Thiel's retirement.

Hm. Seems a flat-out lie, right there. Pointed a holstered gun at someone? Can't imagine even a moron doing that.Senior employee tells him that he didn't pull the slide back and that the pistol was still in its holster. He did admit to pointing it at Junior employee though. He said he was just joking around.
From the standpoint of potential brewing violence, it seems you've got a colleague who's on the edge, if he's being witnessed threatening people in such ways. He apparently also has no compunction over lying to cover his butt. And the supervisor isn't doing anything about it, apparently also not discussing it with "higher ups." And then there's you, someone with a firearm on company property (in your parked vehicle), wondering whether to push the point.
Anyone who witnessed what occurred might consider drafting a memo to the company's senior folks about the situation. Might want to get H.R. involved. Ignoring it, if it indeed did occur, will almost certainly bolster the idiot's confidence that he can get away with whatever he chooses. But getting involved could have repercussions in a few ways ... from the idiot deciding to take matters beyond mere threats, to the company lashing out for its delays in dealing with it, to folks' jobs being at risk of termination. No fun, being in such situations.
IMO, the right course of action is guarding against the violent threats, and holding folks accountable for their actions. Whether that'll have ugly ramifications to some degree will depend on the idiot, the company's senior staff and their rationality (or lack of it).
Bottom line is, if what occurred did indeed occur, then it was criminal act, above and beyond any "company" issues. While only menacing at this point, apparently, it forebodes of a willingness on the part of the idiot to engage in deadly violence toward others. Bad juju, letting such things lie there unaddressed, IMO.
