I think it's fair to call Gregory Heisler a modern master. His numerous, notable, and infamous Time magazine covers only scratch the surface of his three-plus decades of consistently powerful portrait work. His talent for lighting, as well as his versatility and prolificacy, is remarkable and his list of subjects and clients is too monumental and varied to prioritize here.
So, what's it like talking with a master? Well in the case of Mr. Heisler, it's just like talking with anyone else. I never expected the type of pleasant, easy-flowing conversation I had with this renowned portraitist. We spoke on subjects ranging from gear choice to his new book, but I think the most insightful aspect of our discussion was the way he spoke. It was with a casual, friendly, assured, and funny demeanor. Perhaps these qualities, in the context of creating a portrait, are what make his work so intriguing. I mean, what is a portrait if not a good conversation?
BH: You have shot large format, medium format...
GH: Yeah, I've shot everything—from 11 x 14 down to half-frame 35—in the film universe but in the past 5-7 years, have shot only digital. I've parked my view cameras in a closet and vowed never to sell them. I'll get back to them at some point, but am now using only digital. I found myself on the bottom of a very steep learning curve with digital and wanted to do all I could to embrace it, to understand it. I felt like I couldn't do that and still shoot film, so I had to sort of put a clothespin on my nose and go for it.
BH: And has it been all that bad?
GH: Pretty much. Well, what's tough is, it's always changing and nobody knows everything. Worse, people don't know what they don't know, so you get bad information even if the intention is good. At least I know what I don't know and I'm trying to learn it.
It used to be that once you learned how to shoot a Canon, you could shoot any Canon. Now [when] a new camera comes out it has new firmware, new features, and it's time to relearn. Then a new image-editing program comes out and if you're two [versions] behind, the tools may not look familiar. So, things are changing quickly and it's a challenge especially if running a computer is not your most favorite thing in the world. I take it as part of the territory, but it's not my most favorite thing. I don't relish updating my software; I want to be taking pictures!
Now that's the tough part. The good part is that it's amazing. You can shoot stuff with a Canon that looks like 4 x 5, for sure. The quality and flexibility is mind-boggling. And working with the new image-editing programs is like a dream, far more finessed than the darkroom (and reversible), and it allows you to become more fully the author of your own pictures. Depending on how you shoot, of course. Other photographers have a team; it's like, 'it takes a village' to make their image. They have their retoucher, lighting tech, digital tech, archivist; I mean maybe they have an aimer, too.
BH: And you have decided that you will not go that way, specifically, to learn as much as you can?
GH: Yeah, it's just my choice. I'm not saying the other way is wrong, I just want to be able to control everything as much as possible, to learn as much as possible. I mean, the choices are incredible. Before you could only do a Cibachrome, a dye-transfer, or a C-print, and they all looked kinda bad; now I can print on watercolor paper on a desktop and it looks great. That's pretty exciting.
BH: Do you find yourself spending more time on a single photo when processing and printing digitally?
GH: Way more time. One doesn't have to and, no doubt, there are people better in editing and retouching than I, but they won't make the same decisions that I'll make when I'm in the loop.
It's like, I can mark up a contact sheet and send it off to a printer but he can't make the decision that I might make in the darkroom at three in the morning. And that's what I don't want to give up in the digital realm. Really, you spend more time with your image on a computer than you do shooting it, and that's useful; you can learn a lot about your images when you stare at them like that. It can be important to spend that kind of time with your work.
BH: So the view cameras are tucked away, what are you shooting with?
What I've been working with is the 5D Mark III, which is an amazing camera. I think it's great; the image quality is outstanding. The whole low-noise thing is important, but I usually shoot at native ISO anyway. I use 100 as much as possible and tend not to go up to 1600 or 32000. My preferred lenses all the time are the tilt-shift lenses; they're like my normal lenses. The 24mm tilt-shift would probably be my favorite lens. You know, if I was stuck on an island or some such, I'd want that 24mm tilt-shift.
But I use all of them, I think they're great lenses; they're my favorites for a million reasons. For the portrait work I do, the kind of perspective control I can get is ideal—and not just with converging lines, but I can render space much more creatively with a tilt-shift lens. I also like that they are manual focus and that most focus close. They're crazy sharp and they have to be sharp over a bigger image circle. I just love those lenses.
My standard camera bag has the EOS 5D Mark III and the TS-E 17mm f/4L, the TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II, the TS-E 45mm f/2.8, and the TSE-E 90mm f/2.8 lenses.
The only other lens I might use regularly is the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. That, for me, is a lens to carry; it's just very useful and covers 99% of the focal lengths I would ever use.
I also have a medium format camera with a tilt-shift adapter, but I feel I could shoot any possible job with the 5D. In terms of quality level, there's no question—they're fine. And in terms of lenses, I have my tilt-shifts, and then if need be there're fast lenses, long lenses, IS lenses. For clarity and unmatchable versatility, the Canon system is crazy, its just really, really good.
BH: In regard to choosing lenses...
GH: I'm big on testing lenses. I think people buy glass based on the mystique of it. They'll buy a 50mm f/1.2 and the f/1.4 is so much more affordable. Honestly, I think if they looked at them side by side they wouldn't see the difference. When I buy a lens I spend an afternoon in the store, I shoot with them before I buy. When I bought my 100mm lens, I tried the EF 100mm f/2 USM, the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and the EF 135mm f/2L USM. I shot with all three and checked the images on a laptop.
BH: When you shoot portraiture with the 5D Mark III, is it always on a tripod?
GH: Usually, yes, and always if I'm at ISO 100. Often with the 5D, I'll use a little cable release and shoot it like a view camera. I'll have a right-angle finder, magnify the image, make sure its sharp. Sometimes I'll shoot tethered, sometimes not, but when I'm actually shooting I'll be standing next to the camera talking with my subject as opposed to having the camera squished up to my face. That's pretty much why I want the camera on a tripod so I can interact in that way.
BH: And is that fundamental to your shooting, this interaction?
GH: For me, absolutely.
BH: On your website there is a series of abstract, very saturated color shots, certainly different from everything else on the site and what you're most known for. Can you speak about those?
GH: I'm a terrible person. Those were from a short-term project I did for myself. I rode the subway every day, 30 minutes before sunset, and I rode out to Brooklyn and Queens where the train goes above ground. I did it just to play with the light.
BH: Why would that make you a terrible person? It sounds great.
GH: Because I never do that. I should experiment with the light more, but I don't carry a camera all the time. I tend to look at it, notice it, register it, and file it away to use for something else. But I tend not to shoot those pictures because I don't want to edit them, look at them, archive them, or back 'em up. I don't want to burn a CD of them. If I want to shoot photos for myself, I like to have a bit of a stronger idea behind them, not just stuff that grabs me.
BH: How often do you shoot then? Do you have several assignments a week?
GH: Well, now I'm teaching at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication at Syracuse University. The days I'm there I'm shooting, but when I'm not, I may or may not shoot at all. Actually, there are more days that I don't shoot. Assignment work is a way smaller part of my life than it used to be. I've had this transition over the past 5 years from being a photographer who teaches to being a teacher who photographs. And that's by design.
BH: Do you see a change in what you do shoot now that you are teaching?
GH: Two things have affected me in this transition period and I've yet to see how it will really show up in my work, mostly because I haven't given it all that much chance. One is teaching and the other is that I collect pictures—19th-Century photos; terrible, ugly portraits, and I think they've made their way into my work. But the truth is I'm in between and I feel like in the next 3-5 years I will see how these two activities reflect themselves in my work.
I feel like you can have a real hunger to shoot, which is different than being busy or shooting all the time and I feel I'm in a different place now. I'd rather shoot less and enjoy more. I'm building up an appetite.
BH: At your busiest, how was it? Did you shoot as much as possible or did you try to balance it, pace yourself?
GH: Well, let's say from 1978 until when I started teaching in 2009, more or less, I was never not real busy. Everyday I was shooting, editing, preparing for a shoot, or traveling to a shoot; kind of nonstop. And in down moments, it was difficult. I wanted to stay busier. You know the saying "a busy person gets more done"? That was the case for me. When I was jamming, I would do better work. When you are doing things more sporadically, each assignment is a bigger challenge because you're revving up from zero, starting over, almost. I loved being busy, but it was harder on my assistants, who work so hard and are not getting the credit, and only so much satisfaction.
The TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II is another popular choice for discerning architectural and landscape photographers. This lens also has a wide image circle of 67.2mm to permit extensive perspective adjustments. This lens tilts ±8.5º in 1-degree increments and shifts ±12mm in 1mm increments; the tilt-and-shift mechanism is able to rotate 90º. Its circular 8-bladed diaphragm creates effortlessly smooth blur in out-of-focus image areas.
One aspherical element and three ultra-low dispersion glass minimize the risk of chromatic aberration, while an SWC coating reduces ghosting and flare. High-precision glass eliminates distortion and maintains a sharp image throughout the entire focusing range of 8.3" to infinity. On full-frame cameras, the angle of view reaches 84º. Cropped APS-C cameras will experience a focal length equivalency of 38.4mm.
BH: When you're shooting a portrait, do you tend to feel that you have the shot right after you've taken it, or do you prefer to go back, edit and look at them to know which is best?
GH: I almost always know as I'm doing it. It's very rare when I'm surprised or not sure that I got it and then see it later. I think you pretty much have a good idea when you're shooting.
BH: Do you normally shoot many takes?
GH: No, I'm a spare shooter, I actually tell my assistants to slow me down, to relax and shoot more. I tend to rush, it's kind of my nature. I find myself apologizing, excusing myself for taking so long and trying to be done quickly. When I shot large format film, there would be times when I shot a bunch, but on most jobs I would shoot relatively little film. And now with digital, I could shoot thousands of frames, but it tends to be the other way for me. Since I know when I got it, I just stop. But digital has done one thing for me. With film, when I knew I had the shot I would do coverage or extras for push and pull, but with digital I'll have time to go on to a different idea, which is cool. But I tend to not overshoot at all.
BH: When you submit, do you submit the photo you've chosen or do you submit several images?
GH: I had a bit of a reputation in editorial work as "one-shot Heisler" because I would literally often come in with just one picture. I wasn't doing it to be arrogant, it was more that I just felt like "I was there, this is it, this is definitely it. I could show you as many crappy shots as you want but I'm telling you this is it for sure." They didn't always love that.
The difference with advertising is that they might be doing different layouts, different proportions, copying things together so they may want an eyebrow from frame 12 and an elbow from frame 37 and put them together. That's a different kind of job and, for those, I would have a folder with a few selects and a folder with alternates and a folder that is literally called "the rest." For editorial, they would never see "the rest."
BH: In editorial work, for example the O.J. Simpson shots you have on your site, how much does the context of the article, what you expect from the article, or even the particular situation surrounding the subject affect your shooting decisions?
GH: It's huge. I remember years ago, on my first assignment for Rolling Stone, which I obviously knew and read; I went in to meet the picture editor and asked if I could read the article before I shot the accompanying photo. She said, "What do you need that for?" and I responded, "I'd like to have a sense of context." She said, "Just do a cool picture," and I told her, "Well, there's lots of cool pictures I could do, but wouldn't it be great to do a cool picture that makes sense?"
It's strange to me, because in the editorial world, the editors are either very literal, like "Okay, this football player is going down the wrong track so we want a shot of him standing on the railroad track." But in many cases, they don't hold photographers to the same standard as they would writers. They wouldn't let a writer just arbitrarily write something in a particular style just because he or she thought it would be groovy. That would never fly, but photographers do it all the time. And conversely, some photographers will also just shoot the same thing for every magazine, and editors won't let writers do that.
BH: I'm curious about that shot of O.J. Simpson in front of the mirror. When was that? How did it come about? Was he okay with it?
GH: Well, it was after the trial. Esquire was doing a cover story on him. I had this idea that just popped into my head, and a set director I know in California, Rick Elden, built it for the shot with the offset mirror. The idea, I guess, was that in the end only he knows his own truth and he's left with that, but as it turned out, it also has this effect that looks like he is visiting himself in prison.
BH: How much of a hand do you have in choosing locations? I'm thinking of the shot of Bruce Springsteen in what looks like an old dilapidated house, or the football player in a car-boat on a river. Were those your ideas or ideas brought to you and you had to make them work?
GH: It's a good question and it varies, but I think that, ultimately, it's my job to make them work. In the case of the football player in the amphibious car, that was an idea of the Director of Photography at ESPN magazine, the creative Nik Kleinberg, who had ideas just coming out of him all the time. With the one of Springsteen, I thought we would be shooting him in his house and suggested we do it in his recording studio at home, but his person said, "You'll be at his home but not the home he lives in." I joked, "Does he have a photo home?" And they said, "Kinda." He had bought up properties around his farm and this house is where the band or guests from out of town would stay. So we shot there, and at that point it was totally up to me. We looked around and thought that what was actually a rustic portion of a nicely restored farmhouse worked well, and he was cool with whatever we wanted to do as long as it was in that house. He couldn't have been nicer.
BH: And Michael Bloomberg up the tree? Whose idea?
GH: That was my idea. The story was for Time's "100 Most Influential Thinkers" and they were writing about his Million Trees Initiative—to plant 1 million trees in New York. The initial thought was to get a shot of him planting a sapling out in Bed-Stuy, but his schedule did not allow that; we had to do it in City Hall Park. They suggested he stand next to a tree in the park and I said, "I don't think it'll look like he planted it!" So at that point, it was a matter of trying to come up with something memorable and I scouted around ahead of time and saw this one tree that was perfectly situated and in which he could perch himself comfortably. He was game.
BH: That scouting around, was it days before the shoot or in the 15 minutes prior to his arrival?
GH: It was a day or so before. I don't remember exactly how many days I went there but it was definitely not the day of the shoot. Partly because we had to have the scissor lift and a ladder ready and also I like to know "what's cooking." I've shot him before and knew that he appreciates that the shoot will be kind of "buttoned-up;" I mean, he was more alright with the idea because he knew he wouldn't be there for an hour. I think he was back on his way to his office in less than 15 minutes.
BH: I've heard you talk about the need to be resourceful. Can you speak about a time when you had prepared heavily and at the last minute had to scrap all the preparation, but you still got something great?
GH: Well, I think you end up having to hang lefts almost all the time. There was a shot of Dale Earnhardt Jr., where he is on the bank of a racetrack and it looks likes he's leaning over but in reality we had the camera leaning sideways on the bank. The shot turned out cool but it was supposed to have been a shot of him with his car. The transport got lost and the car never showed up so we were waiting while it's getting dark, and had to come up with something. That kind of stuff happens fairly regularly. It happens a little less in advertising work. In editorial you just need a compelling shot that looks cool; in advertising, you need to hand over the picture that was promised.
And in advertising you can't come up with a "better" idea. The idea has been market-tested and improved all the way up the ladder—the last thing anyone wants is a new idea. In editorial, ideally, the people are receptive to a new idea.
BH: Other than for logistical reasons, have you turned down assignments?
GH: I have, but I don't do it a lot because it's always hard to predict what will go well. One job may seem great but will stick around like a bad smell for 6 months, and another will seem like a pain and you end up getting "Picture of the Year" for it. I'm very bad at anticipating; that's why I would tend to take on all the jobs I'm offered. You never know which will be the cool one.
BH: Was there ever a figure, a divisive personality that you were just so turned off by that you said no, I don't want to be involved?
GH: There are people I will never shoot again! I mean celebrities and athletes who offered nothing but unprompted horribleness. But in general, I am open to whomever, and I have had situations where other photographers told me that so-and-so is a nightmare but they turned out to be pussycats. So, there is nobody I wouldn't shoot. Having that one moment—in person—can always be very illuminating one way or the other.
BH: In terms of how to get meaning into a photograph, I've heard you say "the answers lie within." In that context, can you speak about the shot of Muhammad Ali standing alone in a snowy field, lit by a distant floodlight and the moon?
GH: It was taken at 4:30 p.m. and that is actually a low sun. It's at his house, which turns out is Al Capone's old farm in Michigan. It was a snowy day; we went to his house and just needed a picture of him, nothing special, possibly a cover but maybe not. We had done a whole story about his entourage, the people with him during his heyday, and hadn't necessarily planned a shot of him. Well, I did a portrait of him in his house but felt we needed another kind of picture, and as you may know he has Parkinson 's disease, which kind of locks him away in his own thoughts. For a guy who was so physical and articulate, he seems to experience a peace and quiet in there, and I thought I wanted to capture that quiet aloneness, and that the snowy field and him in the distance had that sense of solitary quiet.
BH: Lastly, why banjoists?
GH: Because I play the banjo. Badly. But, since I was 8 years old. And it's a bad instrument to play badly, but they are people I really admire. Most of that series comes from one weekend I went down to Nashville for a banjoists convention and set up a little tent. I talk about this in the book, actually. I was totally ashamed of those pictures and they sat in a box undeveloped for 10 years because they look like B-grade Avedon pictures. At the time I shot them I was really excited, they were 11 x 14 film, but when I got home I was ashamed because I had a chance to do something original and cool and all I did was that. In hindsight I feel, "it's ok to get things out of your system." You sorta have to purge that stuff...
BH: How did putting your book together (Gregory Heisler: 50 Portraits: Stories and Techniques from a Photographer's Photographer) affect how you will go forward with your shooting? Was it difficult to go back over so much material?
GH: It's a funny thing. Doing the book was a fantastic experience. I had never done a long project like that before, and with the book I felt like I was a bricklayer and every day I would go to work and lay another course of bricks and, at the end of two years, I had a book. Normally, after two years, I'd have done 50-100 assignments, which was very gratifying, but you would never have this one thing at the end. And that's a great feeling. It was also an opportunity to tie this ribbon around 30-35 years of work and just send it off into the world. The biggest piece of that was actually the writing, because I was able to sorta plant a flag, to declare who I was. It wasn't just pictures going out, I was able to put in my two cents. I felt also, as a photographer and a reader and lover of photo books, that there are photographers who I admire who are no longer with us and I wish that they had done that, given their two cents. Of course, there are their books but with someone else's words as a forward or an appreciation, but that's not the same thing. I would have loved to have heard from them.
BH: Can you mention some names of photographers you wish you had heard from... or simply of those photographers whose work you loved?
GH: Yeah, the people who I thought about early on were Penn, Avedon, and Arnold Newman. And Yousuf Karsh. They were the classic portrait photographers in my mind, the ones who shaped me early on for sure.
BH: Did you work with any of them?
GH: Yeah, I was Arnold Newman's assistant in 1975 and he's the reason I moved to New York. I never would have even had a career in New York if it hadn't been for Arnold. I came to New York from Chicago specifically to work for him.
You know it's actually interesting how doing the book has changed stuff for me. I'll be giving a presentation soon and was reading about a painter, Ralston Crawford, who has a quote that describes exactly how I feel now. "I have little interest, really none, in making the kinds of pictures I know how to make. In such procedures there is for me no enlightenment." I feel that way now, the kinds of pictures I want to take are the ones I don't know how to make. And I don't know what they're going to look like yet, but I don't want to keep on taking the pictures that I already took. I'm proud of them, I like them, but I don't feel like I need to do more of them. I feel like moving in a different direction.
Greg Heisler is the best photographer I ever SAW.
In the article at "GREG HEISLER'S FAVORITE LENS", you state
"On full-frame cameras, the angle of view reaches 84º. Cropped APS-C cameras will experience a focal length equivalency of 38.4mm."
Yet on http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/find/newsLetter/Angles-of-View.jsp you show an AOV of 84 degrees would be 24mm Full Frame or APS-C of 15mm (assuming APS-C=Canon=1.6) (Which I think is correct)
Am I missing something?
Thanks -jim
It's always enlightening to hear from a true master, God bless.
What a wonderful piece! So great to hear his 'two cents'! Thank you!
sweet work i want to be that good
The main landing page is such a nice page but there is no place to comment
When I grow up, I want to be like you.

Rome exhibition takes aim at the Church as papal vote looms
By Naomi O'Leary
ROME (Reuters) - As cardinals flock to Rome to choose the next pope, two artists have taken the opportunity to stage an exhibition taking aim at the wealth of the Roman Catholic Church and the sex abuse scandals that plagued Pope Benedict.
Held in an ancient building where Italy's patron Saint Catherine of Siena died, "The Unspeakable Act" is a life-size model of Benedict in a confessional box, his sumptuous red and cream-colored robes spread about him.
Installed on the stage of a darkly-lit theatre, the artwork is surrounded by eerie music and a track of Benedict announcing in Latin his decision to resign after eight years topped with the whispering sounds of people confessing their sins.
Benedict's papal tiara lies on the ground and his bejeweled hands cover his face in apparent horror or shame at a phrase from the Gospel of St. Luke that lies open on his knee: "Let the little children come to me".
The exhibition is the work of artists Antonio Garullo and Mario Ottocento who became famous for lampooning the scandals of the powerful in 2012 with an exhibit depicting a sleeping Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, his hand in his trousers and a satisfied look on his face.
"Too many scandals have been hidden by the Church. Even children were abused in the confessional," Garullo told Reuters at a preview of the work on Tuesday.
"These jewels and rich clothes contrast with Christ, who was in rags. The Vatican even has a bank, which is hypocrisy."
A folded paper tucked into the papal tiara represents the 'Vatileaks' scandal, when Benedict's personal butler leaked documents alleging corruption in the Church's business dealings Continued...

Will you still need me when I'm 64?
It's rare in the internet age for a business to drop one technology for the next; we expect them to connect using open standards.
So an IT professional's knowledge stays relevant for much longer than in the past. Dimension Data's director of learning solutions, Steve Ross, says he notices a gradual ageing of the IT workforce, even at the computer networking entry-level.
"The average age is in the high 20s now," Ross says. "During the IT boom it was in the low 20s."
This is because the internet lingua franca (Transmission Control Protocol over Internet Protocol or "TCP/IP") has stayed much the same, so the techies remain constant as well. This is a big change from the days when Banyan Vines, Token Ring, IPX/XPX and NetBios were prominent. For a decade, while these protocols were sometimes incompatible even between versions of themselves, TCP/IP has changed little. That's because it can't go broke or be easily tampered with, since it's an open standard.
The web's spoken language, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), however, has changed much. Yet, being an open standard, too, if you transported a web developer from 10 years ago into today, though his or her output would be comparatively crude, it would still work.
This newfound stability in the IT industry changes the training proposition dramatically, making it more likely to pay off over the long term. A new breed of IT person emerges - one who is cross-trained in a variety of disciplines, both business and IT.
As a lecturer with the Council of Adult Education in Victoria, Mark Stevens has seen a surge in people from the business community in his web courses. "People are wanting to update their skill sets and are looking for future career appreciation," Stevens says.
"We have two 40-ish students, whose main focus is to maintain their employability and enhance the businesses they are working for."
His 40-somethings see IT as a second string to their bow, an employment insurance. The industry has never before stood still long enough for this to happen.
For about $5000 a year, they study for dual Certificate IVs in IT web administration and IT web design.
Webmaster training classes are restricted to 12 students.
"Considering the amount of money they are spending, they are making a commitment," Stevens says. "It's not like you're dealing with teenagers who might be less responsible."
Ross says younger IT professionals must graduate from networking to the burgeoning security field, leaving mere connectivity to the 20-somethings.
In this vein, his company runs an ultimate hacking defence course, licensed from US security trainer Foundstone, at a cost of $5500 for five days. At pilot seminars in Melbourne and Sydney last year, Ross noted the 30-somethings were out in force.
"The hacking community has no boundaries," he says. "You can't buy security; it's something you do. It's a frame of mind, so it's very much a hands-on course."
There is a place in security for the "grey beards", Ross says, because security is as much about process and control as it is about hands-on technical prowess. And I'll bet there will be plenty of security issues over the next 10 years to turn many beards grey.
Dimension Data Learning Solutions' Ultimate Hacking Defence courses will be run in Sydney on August 16, Melbourne on September 6 and Canberra on March 7.
The CAE's "Web Master Training" is booked out until next year.

Don't Be a Bore in '04!
By Stanley Greenfield, RHUAre you tired of always being behind? Running "behind the pack," your view of life never changes. Are you ready to move up to the front? If you are, here are a few things you can do to help you stay up front and take control of your financial future.
Your Friend, the IRA
You still have time to set up a qualified retirement plan and get a nice tax deduction for the previous tax year. At least you could put $3,000 into an IRA and save yourself up to $1,200 in taxes. Better yet, why not set up a "nonqualified plan" and put away as much as you want, without having to put away a nickel for any employees! That could save you thousands in fees per year that you would have had to pay on any qualified plan. You have a choice: You can set up a plan, put some money away and save some taxes now; put away lots of money and have access to it at any time, with no taxes or penalties to pay; or just pay more taxes. What's it going to be?
Taking Stock
Have you ever evaluated your debt? Maybe it's time to sit down and make a list of all your debt, including what that debt is costing you. You need to do the following:
Armed with this information, it is time to sit down and see which loans are "high" interest loans, and which are "low" interest loans. Do the same with your credit cards, too. Now it's time to use that list of "800" numbers you got from each credit card. Call them and see if they will:
It's now time to look at the credit cards that will give you a decent rate. If you haven't exhausted your credit limit, or the credit card company agreed to raise your limit, transfer some "high" interest credit card debt to this card and get rid of the other card. You might even be better off doing this with some of your loans, too. Sometimes, you are better off with the loan under a credit card. This simple exercise can save you a great deal of money. For example, if your debt is $10,000 at 18 percent, and you are able to get it to 10 percent, that saves you $800 per year. Again, you have a choice: Get your rates lowered and save some money - or sit back and pay all that interest and continue to complain. What's it going to be?
More Ways of Trimming the Fat
I-Bonds: Do you still have money in a savings account at your bank or credit union? Why? It pays you next to nothing in interest - and the interest is taxable! You get nothing, and after taxes, you end up with half of nothing! Check out the "Series I" Savings Bonds at www.savingsbonds.gov. Their rate is more than 4.5 percent, and the return is not taxable until you cash them in. Your current net interest is not even keeping up with the inflation rate! At that rate, if you live long enough, all your money will just disappear! It sounds like a wake-up call for you.
Your kids - your employees: Are you still trying to figure out how you are going to be able to pay for your kid's education? Does it look like an uphill battle, and do you just keep sliding down that hill? Let's jump right to the top of that hill! Put your kids on your payroll, and quit playing around with all those other gimmicks that just don't work. This way, Uncle Sam will pay up to 40 percent of their education. You say you like that idea? Again, what are you waiting for?
Your kids - your lessors: Want to really scale that mountain? Why not lease your equipment from your kids? You can do that, and again, get Uncle Sam to pay 40 percent of the payments to your kids, so you can really sock away some money for college. If your equipment is worth around $20,000, you could save over $2,000 in taxes this year.
Insurance: When was the last time you reviewed all of your insurance policies? Have you ever done it? It's time! Consider raising all the deductibles on your policies. That could save you as much as 25 percent. Maybe it's time to consolidate and get rid of some overlapping coverage. A good review is definitely in order at this time, and should be done at least every other year. Save money and have better coverage. It sounds good to me!
Human resources evaluation: It's also time to review all "employees," not just the ones who work in your office. This includes everyone on your "payroll," including your banker, attorney, accountant, insurance agent, financial planner, stockbroker - anyone you write a check to or who earns a commission on you. This little exercise can show you who is "earning their pay" and who is not. Bad advice can cost you money, so you can really save a bundle here!
These little exercises can save you many thousands of dollars each and every year. It's time you took control and became the CEO of your financial future! Looks like '04 is going to be a great year!

Cardiff 0-0 Ipswich
- From the section Football
Championship leaders Cardiff City dropped points at home for only the second time this season as Ipswich stood firm in a flat goalless draw.
Guirane N'Daw struck Cardiff's post with a thunderous 30-yard drive as the visitors started brightly.
Craig Bellamy wasted the home side's best chance when his hesitation in front of goal allowed Ipswich to clear.
The visitors came close to grabbing victory with the final move when Frank Nouble's shot went inches wide.
A well-organised Ipswich side rarely looked troubled by the hosts, who had previously scored in every home game this season.
Their unblemished record on their own patch was only ended in mid-December by Peterborough, and another side battling against relegation managed to frustrate Malky Mackay's pacesetters.
Ipswich arrived in the Welsh capital with the worst away defensive record in the Championship, having conceded 27 goals in 13 outings.
But Cardiff has been a happy hunting ground for the Tractor Boys over recent seasons and they started showing the confidence of their four unbeaten visits and their recent rival under new manager Mick McCarthy.
N'Daw capitalised on time and space to begin to dictate in midfield, and Cardiff were fortunate to see his long-range drive crash against the post with goalkeeper David Marshall beaten.
Peter Whittingham, returning from a knee injury, did more than most to try to stir Cardiff from their first-half slumber.
His teasing, curling cross was inches away from Craig Noone at the far post and then a trademark free-kick threatened the top corner.
Noone turned provider early after the break when his reverse pass allowed Bellamy to beat Ipswich's offside trap.
But a moment's hesitation by the Wales striker was enough to allow Luke Chambers to track back and clear.
Ben Turner and Aron Gunnarsson headed over for the home side but they failed to create a clear chance against Town's stubborn back four.
And late Ipswich pressure saw Marshall pushing away another shot from N'Daw before Nouble failed to keep his effort on target as Cardiff were caught on the break seconds before the final whistle.
Cardiff boss Malky Mackay:
"We were playing against a team who are right at the top of the form table with a new manager and some new players coming in.
"They'd only lost two in 10 so if we had not worked as hard as them then we'd have been beaten.
"For us to come out with another clean sheet, our fourth in five games, on the back of 13 points out of 15, I'm delighted."
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy:
"It was probably a fair result overall. I would have taken it before and I'm happy with it now.
"On reflection we might have got all three points. In open play I think we probably had the better chances in the second half.
"I'm still looking behind me. Whatever we've done so far it can change so quickly. We'd lost two on the bounce and I didn't want to lose three league games on the bounce."

Get Real and Stop Dieting!
End the yo-yo diet cycle with the tips from this book.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Get Real and Stop Dieting is a book written by Brett Blumethal that deals with the real changes you need to make to get healthy and stop dieting. You will learn how to make healthy eating a lifestyle instead of just eating right for a period of weight loss. This book is great for those who have been on several diets, or those who eat healthy and want to remain on track. Get Real and Stop Dieting is not about going on a fad diet. It's about making healthy eating choices even when you're busy or on the go. There are five different principles that you learn to incorporate through Get Real and Stop Dieting and they are all based on documented facts. All of the principles learned in this book can be applied to your life to make healthier choices.
You will gain insight on proper portion sizes, how to shop smart at the grocery store and how to make healthy changes to everyday ingredients when cooking. There is also information on stress reduction, hydration and advice on exercise. Get Real and Stop Dieting even includes 40 pages of recipes so that you can make some changes to your eating habits right away. The five Get Real Principles included in the book are:
- Keep it whole, keep it natural, keep it simple
- Focus on fiber
- Pack lean proteins into every meal
- Enjoy healthy fats
- Eat small, often and mindfully
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Encourages healthy eating that won't starve your body
- You won't feel deprived while eating healthy
- Includes advice on exercise
- Great for those that want to stop dieting
- Comes with 40 pages of recipes
- Offers healthy eating tips and substitutions for your favorite dishes
- Deals with weight loss myths that many people believe
- Primary focus is on eating rather than on eating and exercise
- Some recipe ingredients can be difficult to find
Get Real and Stop Dieting deals with eating truly healthy without being on a diet. The book deals with some common misconceptions that people fall prey to when it comes to eating. The misconceptions that are dealt with include:
- If you eat healthy, you must be on a diet.
- Eating healthy is boring, tastes awful and is never satisfying.
- There is a secret to weight loss.
- You need to count calories to be successful.
- Eating healthy is difficult and complicated.
While adopting this way of healthy eating, you will be enjoying whole, natural and simple foods rather than the processed foods you may be used to. Some of the benefits of eating this way are that whole foods are lower in calories, more filling, protect against disease, are pure and help decrease unhealthy fat consumption. The best sources for whole foods are fresh and frozen vegetables and fruits, unrefined grains, legumes and beans, nuts, seeds, eggs and ocean-raised fish. Something else that is stressed is eating several small meals every two to three hours throughout the day. This practice helps control your appetite, keeps energy levels stable, bolsters metabolism and keeps you aware of your relationship with food. You should never avoid breakfast because that will cause you to eat more throughout the course of the day. Some of the foods you would eat while on this program include:
- Barley
- Brown rice
- Buckwheat
- Cornmeal
- Wheat
- Whole grain pasta
- Beans
- Chickpea
- Broccoli
- Potatoes
- Cauliflower
- Walnuts
- Meats (lean cuts)
- Poultry
- Fish
- Quinoa
- Egg whites
Exercise advice is given with Get Real and Stop Dieting but it is not a primary focus. Engaging in physical activity on a regular basis will help when it comes to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. If you want to lose weight you will need to exercise more and decrease your calorie intake. Some of the workouts you can do for weight loss or to remain healthy include:
- Walking
- Jogging
- Jumping jacks
- Aerobics
- Swimming
- Jumping rope
- Skating
For those who hate going on a diet and want to find a simple guide about healthy eating, Get Real and Stop Dieting has a lot to offer. The book is simple to understand and gives you all the information you need for healthy eating. You can make a lifestyle change with this information instead of a temporary change. There isn't much info included on exercise, but with the food info you can learn a lot. Healthy eating doesn't have to mean you're always on a diet depriving yourself. You can be fully satisfied when you eat and enjoy several meals throughout the day while doing it in a healthy way.Common Misspellings

I did not know until my current visit to France that Carlos Fuentes is buried at Cimetière du Montparnasse in Paris. Fuentes died in Mexico City two years ago. On the day Fuentes died, I read a number of news articles and web postings and, like many others, I just assumed that he would be buried in Mexico.
Searching the web today, I learned that Fuentes told a reporter for The Washington Post in 1995 that he and his wife, Silvia Lemus, had been talking about where they wanted to be buried. Back then, Fuentes said he favored Montparnasse cemetery in Paris. "I think," he said, "that would be a great place to spend eternity." Fuentes served as Mexico's ambassador to France from 1975 to 1977.
The two children of Carlos and Silvia both died as young adults and both are buried at Montparnasse. The year of death for Carlos has not yet been inscribed on the tombstone, although the dates for the two children are there. Silvia is alive and well in Mexico.
I should point out that somebody in Paris has recently visited the Fuentes grave. The flowers are wilted by the cold weather, but definitely were placed there within the previous day or two.
Here is my earlier post about the death of Carlos Fuentes. Go to:
And, here's a post from my visit to Montparnasse a decade ago with photos of the graves of Serge Gainsbourg, Jean Seberg, Emile Durkheim, and Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. Go to:

Ravensbrück Concentration Camp
Pictures & Records
Add your story…
Blanka Rothschild Describes conditions in the Ravensbrück camp [1994 interview]
There was no sanitation. We did not have latrines. There were holes with wooden--there was a wooden board with two holes, and since many of us were sick from whatever they gave us to eat, it was a constant walk to the latrines, to the holes. It was tremendous degradation of, of human beings. It was, the human spirit suffered more than the physical spirit. Uh, the bodies didn't listen to us, didn't obey us. Uh, we had--as I mentioned before, we lost our menstruation, very thank...gratefully because we couldn't have taken care of this. It was the avitaminosis--the lack of food and vitamins. We slept two, three to a wooden, uh, bunk. The tiers in Ravensbrück were packed with human beings. There was stench in the air, horrible stench, between the latrines and the bodies. The one who was in charge had a special little room and special privileges and special food. We, the Jews, never got close to it. The Germans who...and the Ukrainians were in charge.

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Working fine for years is great, but an oil burner requires yearly checks to make sure everything is still set right. We are burning a liquid instead of a gas so things like oil filter , nozzle, electrode settings and pump pressure are critical to maintain. Just like car maintenance. This requires certain tools to make any adjustments. CO kit for air adjustment, smoke test for for proper burn, pressure gauge for pump pressure and access to correct nozzle settings depending on the oil burner.
I am honestly not trying to avoid answering your question, but to make any changes and perform any checks would require the proper tools.

Apologize for the late updates guys but things have been extremely busy here on my end. Where do I start? Midyear I was hired at another job and it's been taking up most of my time especially when it comes to blogging and keeping the website updated. This is is extremely stressful but is working out great. As I get the hang of it it will start to improve. As if writing this now I am going to have to go to bed soon as it's late Sunday evening but I wanted to write this post because I want my readers to know what I have been up too.
I've also had plumbing issues at my house. Another homeowners nightmare. Apparently I've had pipe issues below my foundation which caused major issues above ground. So I was able to get it fixed and taken care of with a reputable company. I want to thank the plumbing ranker experts for their time and energy into helping me find the perfect plumber for my situation.
I will continue to update my blog as time becomes more free during the upcoming months. For any questions please contact me today. I also have set up a youtube channel which I have videos I've recorded to add to my blog on here. Ill upload those asap for you.
And finally for those who are seeking advertising rates for my blog contact me today. I have slots up for 2016 so first come first serve.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: At 120mm in diameter and 60mm wide, these are some seriously burly little wheels. The tire is soft black rubber with deep tread and spikes for added traction in rugged terrain. An adapter is included which bolts to the back of the hub and easily mounts to any motor with a 4mm output shaft. We're selling these wheels in pairs.
Note: These tires are large and have a lot of grip to them. Because of this, you will need some relatively powerful motors to drive them well.
Dimensions: 120x60mm
Does anyone know what kind of motor that would be appropriate and where I can find it?
These wheels were originally designed for use on Wild Thumper 6WD chassis, so they work well with the Wild Thumper motors, which are available individually and in a variety of gear ratios here.
The ideal motor for your project will depend on what kind of torque and speed you need. The ones used on the Wild Thumpers are the high-power (HP) 34:1 and 75:1 25D gearmotors. All the gearmotors in that category have 4mm output shafts that fit the adapters that come with this wheel.
Huge shame you've stopped selling these. I've got a set on my favorite off-roader and it is unstoppable.
Does 2 pack mean 4 wheels? Please reply me ASAP. Thanks in advance.
where shall i find 6mm shaft adapters for these wheels??
will it fits into Standard Gearmotor - 303 RPM (3-12V) of 6mm (dia) shaft
Does anyone have the SolidWorks model for these? Can't find it. Thanks!
Anyone have the CAD files for these? ProE preferred, but STP etc will work.
I can't say I'm very impressed with these. The tire itself is a very thin rubber (thinner than a bike tire tube) and is filled with foam to give it what little support it has. The hub is a brittle plastic that has been covered in a metallic coating. This tire would only work for lighter robots. For $15, it was worth a gamble, but just be aware that these things can't handle very heavy loads.
That said, here is a tech spec you don't find in the description - the hub uses a 12mm hex tire mount. There are other companies that will sell 3mm and 6mm converters to fit this tire and others (at the time of this post, Sparkfun doesn't sell these). Just google "6mm shaft to 12mm hex" and you will find what you need.
A question, anyone now if a HS-311 hitec servo can at least move these wheels?
I want to control each wheel independently. Do you sell a servor or DC motor do control them, which adapts to the wheels? Thanks
Hi, Just to understand. One pack means two wheels. You wrotte two packs.
Are you selling then two packs ( total= four wheels for $ 14.95 ) ?
Could you confirm please ?
can use 3mm shaft in these product???? because i have a motor metal gear with 3mm shaft
not well. they have a 4mm hole with a set screw, so it would be off-centered.
Why not make a small bushing to center it? Might be able to find something at a good r/c hobby shop/ model building.
can anybody tell me the load capacity??
and also..do tell bout the material used… is it steel?? :/
thnq :)
will the Rover 5 Robot platform work with this without upgrading the motors?
Does anyone know if the dual motor gearbox they sell here is under the category of "relatively powerful motors?"
ASCII version… Hahahahaha!
I would be really helpful to get some speed data when these are mounted on the rover 5 platform
We didn't have a big enough battery to get the rover working well with them. Plus, how you drive the motors, how much voltage you provide the motors, and other factors will change this.
Would a 12kg/cm servo be powerful enough to turn these things pretty well? building an off road car, not sure where to start (with wheels or motors)
hey, where can I find just this adapters? I need them :S
sorry, they come with the wheels and aren't sold separately.

Lady Amanda Locke has struck out miserably in her two Seasons on the marriage mart. Beautiful, titled, and charming - even if she does talk a bit too much - Amanda doesn't understand why love eludes her. Even her father, the Duke of Norford, is so perplexed he is prepared to take drastic measures to ensure his daughter's happiness. Now, as Amanda begins her third Season, she gets a little help from Cupid, a darkly handsome horse breeder whose knowledge of basic animal attraction has guided him in arranging more than a few successful matches between the young ladies and gentlemen of the ton.
Hired by Amanda's family, Devin Baldwin produces results for Amanda and soon she is happy to be courted by one of his clients, the dashing Viscount Altone. In order to secure Amanda's match to a nobleman obsessed with horse racing, Devin must teach Amanda how to overcome her fear of horses. But as Devin shows her the joys of riding, hunting, and racing, will their own hearts run astray as Amanda finds herself falling in love with Cupid himself?
Experience Johanna Lindsey's "mastery of historical romance!" (Entertainment Weekly)
©2012 Johanna Lindsey (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
Like a good old fashioned story,or a true crime book. Something not drawn out or a slow storyline.
Good narrator. Overall a great romance couldn't stop listening you g to look for more by Johannes lindsay
Wouldn't want to spoil the story for some one else
Main heroine
Yes but too long for that
"Good book to pass the time"
This is not fast paced book at all which makes it good to listen to while cleaning, gardening, or any hobby you enjoy. It was an nice story that did keep my interest - it was just more slower paced than I'm used to. I still would recommend this book because the price is very reasonable. So for the price....I'd say give it a try.
"Love the Series"
This series of 4 books [so far] is lovely, but I must admit that I like the 2 center books in the series better than the first book or this last book.
"Entertaining if you can get past the terrible narrator"
This was an entertaining light read but I could not get past the narrator's reading style which was comically overdramatic at best and eye-rollingly annoying at worst.
"Repeated storyline"
I honestly think this was too similar to the plot of Ophelia's as well as another one of the A Malory series. can't quite remember what one. however still I good one.
"Good read"
I love a good Lindsey. This one was sweet and enjoyable with likeable characters. The story was predictable but good.
"LOVE! Worth the wait!"
I grew up reading Johanna Lindsey books since I was 14, and over time I stopped reading them because it seemed to be always the same. They hate, they fight, they start to love, then hate and fight more, then finally last chapter they love. But not with this one. I giggled, and laughed, and cried, and they loved through the entire book! Amazing job, and I hope to find more of her books like this one! The reader of course was perfect as Anne usually is with her readings! Definitely worth purchasing!
"I love this story when I read it year ago Johanna"
I have read everyone of her books and I started reading and feel in love with her writing back in 1988 after my first son was born I read to him and he was just happy to hear my voice when I rocked him to aleep. and to this day I look forward to any and every book she comes up with. and I have 3 sons and they love to read OK may not what I do bit reading is betre then being board.
"not the worst not the best"
struggled to finish this. didn't not like the audio. wish someone else read this book
"I Love Johanna Lindsey"
Yes, Johanna Lindsey always delivers a great romance no matter what! I'm new to Audio books, but I have read all her books and they are all worth the read! The only thing that really bothers me is the narrators voice, and when they try to be the opposite sex it's strange.
no, but she sounds like Mary Poppins-tt
No, I'm at work when listening, so I wait until I go back to work to finish.
Mallory Novels are the Best !!!!!!! Her Mallory Line is a must read and it ties into all of these other books.
"Not Johanna Lindsay's best"
This book never really got off the ground for me. Normally Johanna Lindsay's books grab you and pull you into the story completely, but this book had way too many soon-forgotten characters and dull dialogue. I listened to it the whole way and there were a few chapters that were better than the rest. I'd recommend you skip this one and go onto one of her other novels.

Mini Humbuckers
Mini humbuckers are a smaller variation of the original designed humbucker pickup, the PAF model.. They have a slightly lower output level when in comparison to the originals, and stand in between the full humbuckers and the single coils, in terms of tone. This is hard to describe with words, but is the best comparison to do. Mini humbuckers were created by Epiphone, and used primarily in epiphones, which now Gibson owns, and have tons of usages, but the most common are for jazz guitars and archtops.
In the seventies, they replaced the original single coil that used to come along with the gibson les paul´s. Today they can be found in thousands of guitar models, including firebirds, which Neil Young used to replace one of his gibson les paul goldtop pickups, and the result was a very unique tone, bright and focused.
Lots of companies make these nowadays, which atests the capability, and somewhat versatility, of these smaller humbuckers. By versatility, I mean that from the fact that they stand exactly between the singles and humbuckers, you get either benefits. No humming, yet somewhat cristalized tone. Awesomeness in my humble opinion, Definitely worth trying, for whatever music style you´re currently playing…

According to my understanding, which is not absolute by any means, did Epiphone not develop the Mini Humbucker first? When Gibson bought them out then they started to use the Mini's in their own products.
I'm planning to convert my vintage modern telecaster now fitted with Joe Barden modern T-style set to a Brent Mason using a gibson mini humbucker but retaining the Barden pickups. Could you recommend a suitable pickups to build a three pickups system?
