Regina has provided a link that give you further information about this topic and what it means to be a PMC. I would like to ask everybody (and especially the PPMC members) here to think about this as individual and what it means for themselves or if they would be interested in being a PMC. Maybe some questions that you can answer yourself can help to find an answer: - What is my intention with this project? - Why I am here and what do I want to achieve? - What is my main interest and how do I want to contribute? - Is being a PMC member a status symbol for me? - Is being a PMC member a privilege or a burden? - Do I want or I am ready to take the responsibility and role of a PMC member? - Do I want to be a committer or is being a committer enough for me and enough to achieve my goals and interests here? - Being a PMC member is important to me, why? How I do I want to contribute as PMC member? Don't put too much weight in the questions, the intention is only to give you some ideas. Please build your own picture and take it serious. And the most important point is whatever you will find out for yourself, it doesn't prevent you to be part and an active member of this project. You don't even have to be a committer to be part of this project. Being a committer simplifies often some things and is of course recommended over time if you plan to be a code contributor. And if you think you can do more for the project and in the community you can take at any time the necessary actions to become a PMC member. Simply keep in mind that PMC membership can't be bought, can't be required or expected. It have to be earned by appropriate actions... We will continue the selection of our final PMC and it is important to understand that we try to find the best solution from a project perspective. We had the special situation that we had many initial committers who took the opportunity at the beginning of the project to become a PPMC member. Some of them disappeared over time, others never did anything. That was ok and their were good reasons to do it this way to get started and there probably also good reasons why people disappeared over time or did nothing. But now it is time to do some final cleanup before we graduate. And this is not meant negative, we think it is important to keep the project operational and working. We want motivated and 100% committed PMC members. And please keep in mind that the door is never closed! Please build your own picture about the PMC role and if it is aligned with your own goals and interests here in the project. And the end of this email I want to say that from my point of view "roles" are not so important. We are all equal here in the project and I think we all have the same goal. We want make AOO even more successful and we want a community where it is fun to be part of it and where anybody can drive things forward by simply doing it aligned with the overall project rules and guidelines. The power of the project is our community and we all can help to grow the community in many different areas. Finally a quote from Martin Walser (a German author) from an essay titled "Mut" in German "Dem Gehenden schiebt sich der Weg unter die Füße" and in English (I hope it is correct) "Take the first step and the pathway will open up before/for you" So lets start or continue moving forward and we will find our way... We have already achieved a lot and we will continue. Juergen > >> Kind regards >> Regina

Book Review: The Man Who Lied To His Laptop
Most of our book reviews here on TDL are in someway tied to learning more about technology, science, and the people who make it possible. This week's book is a bit different. The Man Who Lied to His Laptop is actually much more about human relationships, than anything to do with technology. The book, written by Stanford professor Clifford Nass (with Corina Yen) chronicles his experiments based on the discovery that people interact with technology in the same way they do with humans, even to the point of assigning stereotypes and "helping" computers to complete tasks out of a sense of obligation.
Nass takes the reader through his experiments in a step by step, yet exciting style. The book begins by outlining the initial discovery of the ways humans treat computers as if they were humans. This process in itself could fill a book, but rather than dwell on that aspect of the research, Nass shows how he used that as a springboard to try a whole litany of experiments aimed at discovering truths about human interactions:
I had people work with a piece of software for thirty minutes and then asked them a series of questions concerning their feelings about the software, such as "How likely would you be to buy this software?" and "How much did you enjoy using this software?" One group of users answered the questions on the computer they worked with; another group answered the questions on a separate but identical computer across the room.
In a result that still surprises me fifteen years later, users entered more positive responses on the computer that asked about itself than they did on the separate "objective" computer.
The book is divided into five lengthy chapters, each tackling a different aspect of human communication, culminating in chapter five's fascinating look at persuasion. While each chapter has a bullet-point summary of key points, it feels more like a recounting of the evidence to support the presented theories, rather than a book of key points to implement in your own life.
Regardless, The Man Who Lied to His Laptop offers an intriguing look at human nature through a series of clever computer-based experiments. Your interaction with others, especially in group settings, can only benefit from this book.

Dog Gets Prosthetic Paw
A veterinary technician stepped in to save a doomed dog, who lost a paw and was set to be euthanized in California. The veterinary technician helped Skip, a Pit Bull, get a prosthetic paw.
Skip's owners discovered he had a bone deformity when he was two months old. The dog's paw eventually fell off when they couldn't afford to have him treated.
When Skip's paw fell off there was some bone exposed and he either needed to be treated or euthanized. The owners couldn't take care of him so they gave the puppy to the Merced Veterinary Clinic where he was scheduled to be euthanized. Instead of being euthanized, Xenia Onofre, a veterinary technician stepped in and volunteered to take Skip in.
Skip had two surgeries and months of medication, bandages and treatment. All of it was unsuccessful. Doctors tried to graft skin from the bottom of Skip's limb but that didn't work either. He was rubbing and scratching it even though he had a cone around his neck.
Dr. Betty Lawson, a veterinarian at Merced Veterinary Clinic, contacted Spencer Greene at Merced's Hangar Clinic. This is the same clinic that made the very first prosthetic dolphin tail for Winter. Winter is a bottlenose dolphin who lost her tail after it got tangled in a crab trap in 2005. The 2011 movie "Dolphin Tale" is about Winter.
Green went to work on a prosthetic for Skip's paw. He made a mold of Skip's limb so he could build a prosthetic that fit correctly.
The prosthetic is like a little cup that comes up the back of his leg with two straps on the front to secure it and padding on the inside for comfort.
"He just literally took off running when he had it on," Greene said.
According to the Hangar Clinic, Skip is able to run longer and play like other dogs. The clinic built the prosthetic for free as a way to give back.

At large densities or large distances from the transmitting antenna it is observed that resonance cones, instead of being a single sharp peak, become spatially modulated by a multiperiod interference pattern; this interference pattern can dominate over the phasing imposed by a grill antenna. A simple theory shows that this effect occurs when ωper / c≫1 and that it is caused by electromagnetic terms neglected in the electrostatic approximation.

Denmark ends Bulgaria's Euro 2004 campaign

Denmark 2 Bulgaria 0
Braga, Portugal: Bulgaria became the second country to be knocked out of Euro 2004 when goals from Jon Dahl Tomasson and Jesper Gronkjaer lifted Denmark to a 2-0 win over the 1994 World Cup semi-finalists today.
For Gronkjaer it represented a fairytale comeback after missing the first week because of the death of his mother from cancer.
"This was a very special day," said the Birmingham City-bound Chelsea player.
"It was a really important goal for Denmark, and a really important goal for me personally.
"After all that's happened it was a relief to get back playing football - it's what I do best."
While the result left Bulgaria joining Russia in heading home after the completion of the group stage matches next week Denmark now face Sweden in a mouthwatering Group C clash next Tuesday with live hopes of booking their ticket into the last eight.
Denmark coach Morten Olsen described the result as very satisfying.
"I thought we played a good first half, we were very focussed. We made two wonderful goals, and didn't give their strikers any space. Strategically if you take them out of the game it makes all the difference."
His opposite number, Plamen Markov, appeared ready to except the inevitable call from his superiors telling him he was out of a job after his team's failure to make any impact at these finals.
Bulgaria lived up to Markov's pledge of playing boring defensive football and barely managed to break sweat even when they were chasing the game, they were more adept at picking up yellow cards - six in all while playmaker Stilian Petrov was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Denmark, the 1992 champions, were rewarded for their virtually total first half domination at Braga's troglyditic 30,000-seater stadio Municipal cut out of the mountainside overlooking the city with Tomasson's goal a minute before the break.
It was a neatly worked move originating from a delicate pass from Everton's Thomas Graveson, who was returning from suspension, into the penalty area to Martin Jorgensen, who picked out Tomasson and the AC Milan ace sidefooted the ball into an open goal.
While Denmark kept the Bulgarian defence busy up at the other end it was like a ghost town with Danish keeper Thomas Sorensen not having to make a single save in the first half an hour.
But ironically the Danish goal had come just after one of only two Bulgarian attacks - Martin Petrov and his fellow Bundesliga teammate Dimitar Berbatov joining forces for a clever 1-2, with Berbatov's back-heeled pass setting Petrov up but the Vfl Wolfsburg striker's shot lacked the legs to trouble Sorensen.
Danish coach Morten Olsen was forced to make an early substitution when he had to bring on Gronkjaer for Dennis Rommedahl in the 24th minute, the PSV Eindhoven winger hobbling off nursing a left thigh injury.
Markov introduced striker Zdravko Lazarov for defender Vladamir Ivanov with 30 minutes remaining in an attempt to keep Bulgaria's Euro hopes alive.
And the country that made it into the last four in the 1994 World Cup began to put together some attacking moves midway through the second half with notably Zoran Jankovich going close.
But Gronkjaer capped a good afternoon's work with Denmark's second in stoppage time after a neat 1-2 between him and Tomasson.

It's not often that big-name public officials gather to speechify out of view of TV cameras and newspaper reporters, but that's exactly what happened in the Justice Department's Great Hall today, when veterans of the Community Relations Service gathered to celebrate its 45th birthday.
The agency, an arm of the Justice Department established by the 1964 Civil Rights Act, is dedicated to defusing racial and ethnic tensions and quelling civil disorders. The agency does so by quietly mediating between rival factions in a community or between a community and its leaders.
Attorney General Eric Holder and Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., were among the speakers at the private, invitation-only ceremony.
Roger Wilkins, who served as the second director of the Community Relations Service from 1966-1969, said in an interview afterward that the lack of fanfare was appropriate. A deliberately under-the-radar agency, the Community Relations Service makes a point of letting local officials -- such as mayors, city council members and police chiefs -- take credit for its victories, said Wilkins, shown at right. "Don't go around being a glory hound," is how he described the agency's mantra.
A George Mason University professor who has worked for The Washington Post,The New York Times and the Ford Foundation, Wilkins, 77, counts his time at the Community Relations Service as "the highlight of my life."
Despite some "horrible moments" -- Wilkins was at the agency at the time of the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy -- he said the job was particularly fulfilling. "You're working for your country, and you're trying to make it better," he said.
Is an agency established to defuse racial and ethnic tension still needed in a 21st-century America led by a biracial president? Wilkins says it is. "The huge inequities that are the seat of unrest between communities" still exist, he said, as do "isolated islands of urban misery."
"That's exactly the conditions out of which the riots of the 1960s arose," Wilkins said.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Glad I made this purchase I did a lot of research before buying this product. We had limitations on what TV's are available because our armoire is only 36" wide and unfortunately not wide enough for any of the 40" class TV's. I picked this TV over the LG 39" because of the features and because it is a true 120Hz TV. I was intrigued by the ability to control the TV using an iOS device. Although using some of the features using the regular TV remote is cumbersome, using the iPhone makes it sooooo easy! It is one of the coolest features I've ever used. The picture is very good, the picture controls are robust, the built in apps are great. (Love the youtube and pandora apps) I am impressed with this TV.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from A shot in the dark I finally took the big move from my 20 year old Sony Triniton to a flat screen TV. I had heard all about the fight to be the best among LG, Samsung, Sony...but being who I am, I had to be different. Here is a unit of which no reviews are written (at the time of this writing), from a brand I seem to keep happily coming back to time and again - Panasonic. Now I don't review TVs, and I have no frame of reference, but here is my experience moving from one of the best CRT ever made, to the flat screen: The unboxing: This thing is light weight (CRTs are HEAVY!!), very thin, and easy to set up. It literally took more time to unpackage than screw to the stand and plug in. My only beef is the stand has such low clearance, you will need to put the unit on a riser if you plan on using a sound bar, unless you mount it to the wall (if you plan on doing that, you are probably going bigger anyway...) The Setup: Turn it on, log into your home wifi, and you are off and running. My Macintosh computer only wishes it could be that simple. The interface is fun to use, and takes a short time to master and get used to. I could control every feature with my iOS device, and I am stunned. In some ways it was like having a wireless external monitor for a handheld device. Surf youtube on an iPhone/iPod, play the movie, hit link to TV, and suddenly you are watching it large screen! Image quality: Now remember, I am moving from a Sony Triniton CRT, so I am not used to his HD flat screen thing yet, and I have no basis for comparison. But the first thing that struck me awed was detail and refresh rate. It was literally like watching something live out a window, no motion blur/ghosting, crisp bright image that stays that way with camera and subject movement. After the novelty of this wore off I did begin to notice that all this detail on a flat screen did come at a cost of color richness. I have been told you need to spend big bucks and go higher end to experience the richness you are used to seeing on a high end CRT, so I accept the compromise. This unit cost a quarter of what I would haved needed to spend to reach the color range of my CRT. Sound Quality: it has a digital optical output. Yeah it has its own speakers, but seriously, it's HD, you are gonna spend as much or more for the sound system, because that is more than half the fun! (Yup, it has the Pandora app, and you can plug in a media device via one of its two HDMI, play your own music/movie/slideshow collection). The interface: I am not a connoisseur of device interfaces, but I like this one. It has the multiple desktop parade across the screen for different home screen views, lots of downloadable content for customizing the look, and of course, the Netflix button. I go back and forth between the remote and the iPhone app, they both have their pros and cons. But I love the fact you can link your handheld device to the TV, because apps can be improved, and with it the ever improving relationship they will have with the Smart TV. And as far as gaming goes, apparently it's awesome, because my teenage son is constantly hooking into the HDMI with his laptop to play games. Just keep in mind, few laptops can take advantage of it's 120hz refresh rate, so playing games won't be like watching Blu-Ray, yet... In conclusion, I am very pleased with this purchase and am looking forward to enjoying it for years to come, as I honestly feel I bought a level of cutting edge technology that won't become obsolete in six months.

What should I do if my TV will not turn on and the power indicator LED is not flashing?Follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure your TV's power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
- Make sure the electrical outlet the TV is plugged into has power by testing known working device in that outlet.
- After verifying the TV is plugged into a working outlet, try pressing the [POWER] button on the TV instead of the TV remote.
What should I do if the front Power indicator LED light is blinking?1. Unplug the TV's power cord.
2. Unplug all cables.
3. Power the TV using a different power outlet (do not use a power strip or surge protector).
If the problem persists, please consider having the TV serviced. Click here for Panasonic Service Locator.
Note: Count how many times the LED light blinks. This can help a technician troubleshoot the problem.
What should I do if I can access all of the TV apps except Netflix?1. Change the DNS setting of your TV to 188.8.131.52.
2. If you are able to access the Netflix splash screen, use the TV remote to deactivate your account by pressing Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. After this process, try loggin back into the Netflix TV app.
If the procedure is successful a screen will come up with the option to deactivate your device from your account. If not try the process again. Once you have successfully deactivated your device, you will need to activate it by opening Netflix and at the main screen selecting Member Sign In, then following the on screen prompts until activation is complete.
If the Netflix app still fails to open, but all of the other TV apps work, visit help.netflix.com for more support.
What should I do if I have bars displaying on the TV screen?Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the [FORMAT] or [ASPECT] button on the TV's remote control. If you still have bars, check the aspect settings on your external video source, such as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc. Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are available in extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are unavoidable.

Rink report
USA fritters away lead, settles for tie with Sweden
By Mike Brehm, USA TODAY
The USA's task at the World Junior Championships got slightly
harder when Sweden staged a third-period rally Thursday in the Czech Republic.
Though the 2-2 tie leaves the USA undefeated (1-0-1), it
remains in third place behind Slovakia (2-0) and Sweden (1-0-1). Sweden has
the edge because it has a better goal differential.
The USA appeared to have the game under control when it
took a 2-0 lead on goals 78 seconds apart in the second period by Chris Higgins
(power play) and Chad Larose (short-handed).
Sweden scored twice in the third period, though, on five
shots. D Johan Ejdepalm beat screened USA G Jason Bacashihua at
2:27. Predators prospect Daniel Widing tied the game when he scored on
a wraparound on the power play with 2:03 left.
"Nobody likes to tie, especially when you're up by two
goals," said USA coach Keith Allain, "but I think it was the right result
for this game. This was a very even contest."
Also, Canada got two goals from Maple Leafs prospect Brad
Boyes to rout Switzerland 6-1 and improve to 2-0. It has outscored opponents
21-1. Slovakian G Peter Budaj made 45 saves to beat the Czech Republic
1-0 and kept the defending champion winless.
The USA, which has all but clinched a quarterfinal berth,
will face winless Belarus on Saturday and Slovakia on Sunday. The quarterfinals
start Tuesday.
"I'm proud of how our players played with intensity through
the whole (Sweden) game," Allain said, "but we will need to be smarter to win
Around the rinks: Penguins C Mario Lemieux

BERLIN (AP) — Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is blasting Britain's the Guardian newspaper, saying its "negligence" forced his organization's hand in publishing secret U.S. diplomatic memos.
It was Assange's first public comments since Wikileaks disclosed its entire archive of U.S. State Department cables.
Assange told a Berlin technology trade fair audience on Tuesday that a Guardian journalist had published the password to the encrypted files in his book, creating a situation where some people got access to the uncensored files while others did not.
Speaking by video link from outside London, Assange said "it was necessary to give the information in an authenticated way to the general public ... and to those people who might be mentioned in those materials."

A T-shirt is no longer just a T-shirt.
We've seen several companies do innovative things with their wearables -- earlier this week I wrote about the new site Comic Strip Tees -- and the trend continues with The N-spired Story, a group that posts novels on its shirts.
Here's how it works: Users contribute stories to the site, and their fellow users vote on the best one. The N-spired Story then hires an artist to illustrate it on a T-shirt.
As for the story, shirts use augmented reality technology and cellphone image recognition software (i.e. the Junaio app) to "bring the images to life."
It does sound a bit complicated, but you can always just skip the interactive part and wear the shirt.
A couple designs so far:
Shirts run $30, and a portion of the proceeds goes to a charitable act performed by the company.

COLUMBIA, Md. — A judge has rejected a plan to relocate court proceedings in Howard County because security issues couldn't be worked out at the temporary location.
The Baltimore Sun reports that Howard County Circuit Court Administrative Judge Lenore R. Gelfman decided on Monday that arrangements for additional security enhancements at the Ascend One building in Columbia could not be worked out. Gelfman declined to say what the exact problems were.
County spokesman Kevin Enright says about $1.3 million has been spent preparing the building, with about $275,000 going toward security and equipment that will return to the courthouse.
The plan was being put in place so the courthouse could undergo a nearly $8.6 million renovation.

Motor vehicle accidents don't just happen between automobiles and SUVs. Sometimes the drivers of trains, public buses, school buses, limousines, and taxis are responsible for serious injuries as well. An experienced attorney can represent you in any public transportation personal injury case involving these vehicles. Certain bus and commuter rail operators require special notice of claim provisions and have shorter deadlines for filing suit than do some regular auto claims. Experience in analyzing all aspects of such a claim and in dealing with municipal and metropolitan defendants can give you a critical advantage in recovering compensation for injuries resulting from bus or train accidents. Such attorneys can help unravel the complicated threads of corporate structure, regulatory requirements, local licensing requirements, and employment relationships to make sure that all of the parties who need to be sued are actually held responsible for your personal injuries.
Public transportation accident injuries can be severe and in some circumstances fatal. When not fatal, they may still significantly affect the quality of life. Rehabilitation can also be a painful, long ordeal, with expensive health care costs and treatment that can last a lifetime. If you or a family member has suffered a public transportation accident injury, we urge you to contact an experienced attorney. Such an attorney will carefully evaluate your case and explain the legal options available to you at no charge.

Forums > Model Colloquy > Helping the Photographer Feel Comfortable
Hey Models! I have a new problem that I would love some advice on.
I have a shoot with a photographer who sounds genuinely intimidated and nervous about working with me. He hasn't done a lot of shoots with models, and I don't think he's ever hired a professional before.
I try to be personable and friendly with everyone that I shoot with, but I'm a natural introvert, and not the most sociable type. I'm excited to work with this gentleman, and I think it will overall be a great experience for him.
I know some photographers have an arsenal of techniques for getting new models to relax. Are there any particular pointers anyone has for the reverse situation? Anything to say or do to help put him at ease early in the shoot? Anything I should absolutely not do?

Don't touch him, unless you ask permission first.
Tell him how big his lens looks.
Explain to him it's normal for the first time to be nervous.
Ask questions about his equipment and what he likes about it (seriously).
Talk about the food you like and ask him what he likes.
Ask him what music he likes and if you can listen while working.
Talk about the photographers/model they like.
Just the normal stuff to distract, if they like talking. Some photographers are quiet and just like to let you work. I've seen a few that never talk. See if they mind playing music. Just do your thing and tell them how much you enjoy working with them.
You can tell them a little about yourself. If they know you as a person, it helps them to relax. Just don't get too personal at first.

I have had a few photographers nervous about shoots, and all I did was just be myself. I am not one to talk much but sometimes I like to make small talk so it makes things easier if I feel the photographer is nervous.
I ask the usual things about like how long they have been shooting blah blah, It usually opens them up and they end up asking questions about me. If they don't ask I just get right down to what I was hired to do, and maybe ask how they wanted to shoot the first couple of shots, where they will be focusing, so on.
You just have to keep your professionalism is all really.

Wear high heels and step on his toes. After he recovers he will have forgotten to be nervous.
On a serious note just follow the advice already given. Small talk until you figure out what he likes, then let him vent his nervousness by talking if that is what he uses to relieve stress.
Remind him to remove the lens cap... ;-)

I've found the most important thing is for a model to show up.
Relax and be supportive, if you seem comfortable that will likely help the photographer feel more comfortable.
I know for myself sometimes when I am concentrating I will get even more quiet and introverted, so someone who is feeling nervous might take that the wrong way, so I do think it is helpful to try to be more aware of communicating and trying to keep things relaxed.
If he has never hired a model before, he is probably also nervous about not letting himself and you down with the photos, so it might be helpful to reduce expectations and have both of you thinking more about a fun learning experience than a paid working session.
Let me know if you need more thoughts.
PS: a nice smile goes a long way.

I don't photograph models all the time. So, I'm usually nervous will they show up will the photo shoot go good. I usually do fine once the photo shoot gets going. Especially if the model acts nice and eager to work. The only time I don't is when the model model acts kinda stuck up. Which thankfully hasn't happened much.
Talking to the photographer is good as well while he is setting up the lighting doing a test photo. Ask how his week has gone or whatever. Models I work with more then once we talk about all sorts of things.

If he appears at all nervous before he starts taking pictures, slap him across the face hard and order him to start working. ;-)

Greet him with a smile and a firm handshake. Tell him that you are really looking forward shooting with him.
Once you are in the photo area, tell him you know that it is common for people to be nervous at first and the best thing he can do is picture you naked. Then say, "This will help," and whip off your clothes. (this assumes he hired you as a nude model). Shoot a little and then get dressed and shoot some more and then return to the nude.
You guys are great! High heels and a slap across the face, and sleeping, not sleeping with him. Got it.
We're actually do a pretty casual shoot. It's a trade basis, he has a camera that I really want to get my paws on. So it doesn't have quite the same pressure as, 'omg, I have a model in my studio for two hours and I paid all this money and everything must be perfect.' We're shooting outdoors, at a couple of different locations, at a leisurely pace, which always makes me happier, which should help me make him more comfortable.
This is great, seriously, thank you so much!

this is why we have a meetup groups and workshops just for the purpose of introducing photographers to working with models, to get over the nerves and jitters as much as to learn how to interact with and direct a model.... not to mention details like lighting etc lol
Im a veteran but what I can say is that I prefer that a model be herself - if she's not doing so it does show and seems a bit stilted....

i remember my first nude model. she was posing in a sundress and then i asked "would it be ok for you to take that off?" and she threw it in a corner and i thought "this photography thing is going to work for me" lol
she was really sweet and gentle. it wasn't what she said so much as just her calm and friendly demeanor. and she didn't stress when a cat showed up on set uninvited.
sometimes we have paying boudoir clients who are freaking out and i just try to stay calm and listen to their concerns while working to get them on set as soon as possible (once we start shooting their nerves usually calm down). when there's a MUA that helps a lot because it gives them a buffer time before shooting plus they can do girl talk with the MUA.
worst-case maybe suggest he have a bourbon.

Being a photographer, I don't see many nervous photographers. I do see many nervous models. It doesn't seem to matter how experienced they are. To me, it makes sense on a lot of levels because they are going somewhere to meet someone they didn't previously know. No matter how brazen they are, there has to be some fear lurking in their mind somewhere. I take it upon myself to get them to relax just a little bit. Once they relax a little bit, it's only a matter of time before they relax a lot.
My secret to doing this is talk to them. Keep them talking. Ask them about things that are personal but not ultra personal. For instance, I'll ask them how long they've been modeling, if they're married or dating someone, what types of cars they like, if they're into sports at all, etc. When that round of questioning is done, we can go to the next level if they're into it. If they're not into it, they usually don't get into it and it's just another shoot. If they are into it, we can get into all types of conversations.
I can't help imagining it's the same in reverse. I'd be nervous about shooting some super model ... even if she's only a super model in my own mind. Believe it or not, every model I meet is a super model in my mind. I just have to act like I'm not nervous. Once she starts answering questions and doesn't snap at me, I'm able to relax a bit, too. Before long, there is either no conversation or we talk as if we've known each other for years. My best shoots have been with models who are so comfortable and relaxed that I don't have to ask them anything. They tell me all sorts of things.
Some of them get so comfortable that they start asking me things. I do the best job I can of answering their questions. So ... if I were the model and was shooting with an obviously nervous photographer, I'd just ask them questions about them. Someone said ask them about their equipment. I'd also ask about how long they've been shooting, what some of their most memorable things are, etc.
Keep things as light and fun as possible. Even if all or most of the pictures are crappy and you have or want to shoot again, you'll spend less time getting over nervousness and more time talking about how to make better pictures this time.

If he really is inexperienced, offer to direct the shoot a little bit, posing especially. Tactfully, of course. When I don't have to worry about posing the model except for small variations, I'm able to hold a conversation quite a bit better.

Since the shoot is outdoors, bring some snacks and drinks for both. Nothing big, just small amenities that anyone would buy casually while hanging out.
When you arrive, say "hi!" with a big and honest smile and make a short comment about the location, the weather or your trip. Anything positive that says something about you. Do not ask lots of questions that can be answered "yes" or "no", but rather one that can be answered with a long story.
Let him know that since it is a trade shoot, time is not that big of an issue. Ask him how would he like to work: If he wants to direct your posing or if he would rather want you to pose freely while he focuses on taking pictures. If the shoot includes nudes do not wait for him to ask you to take your clothes off. You are very experienced, you will know when to do it.
Overall, smile a lot, communicate, laugh and enjoy yourself.

The first time I worked with a model way further up the experience chain than I, there were nerves-a-go-go.
Then she mentioned some of my work that she liked and, during the first sets, complimented my ideas for the shots, gave me a "Wow, that looks cool!" on first look at the back of the camera and that gave me confidence that I 'deserved' to be in the same room and I found I relaxed a lot after that.
She could've been lying, of course, but it worked in any case!

Photographers with little experience working with models do not always realize that they are the director of the shoot. If he just kind of stands there waiting for something to happen, then you may need to do some directing yourself. Take the lead and then try to move him along.
He also may not be prepared with a "vision" of what he wants to accomplish. Just be patient.
His training wheels are coming off so he may need a push, move along slowly, and wobble a lot.

I would say just act natural. Don't try to make a big issue of taking your clothes off or doing anything that might make him think that you are embarassed around him. Just be matter of fact and professional and I think that he will will just naturally follow your lead. Once he starts getting involved in taking pictures, his mind will be on that and any tension should disappear.
Best of luck and thanks for being so considerate with a newbie.

It comes with two lenses! And thank goodness, I've been trained to appreciate natural light. Thank goodness for fine art nudes out in nature and working that available light!
Part of why I held off for so long was because I was afraid of how time consuming photography could be.

Frankly... I don't ever want to be fully comfortable... I hire models to knock me off balance. I put that feeling and emotion into my work. If I wanted comfortable I wouldn't work. I'd lay in a hammock somewhere. The model is as much part of the process as all the experience and talent I bring to the table.
The more tension the better for me. Now I'm a painter not a photographer.

I agree with this on many levels. Comfortable is boring. Landscape photography is legitimate and all, but there is no stress in comparison to shooting a model. Shooting a model is "easy" in comparison to shooting a wedding. With a model, one has time to ask them to turn to the left just a little bit. At a wedding, shoot or the moment is gone and never coming back.

I have worked with a lot of very new (or new to models) photographers as well as a lot who had never shot a nude model before. I always feel very honored that they want me to be their first nude model, and I know that sounds cheesy, but I think it can be a big deal given the stigma around nudes for some people. I have also done workshops where a lot of the photographers were new to models or nudes. And these are always some of my favorite shoots and I really enjoy them, despite the fact that I most often do not even see the photos.
If I can here are some of the things I do:
- ask them to show me some photos they like before the shoot to get an idea of what they like in terms of posing
- guide them into giving me direction, like "Would you like me to be sitting or standing?" or "Do you prefer I look at the camera or not?" Giving them a choice allows them to guide me to what they want without just saying "Give me some direction." If they tell me to do what I think looks good, I do, but I try to mix in as much as I can and try to read what they like.
- do classical poses and let them let you know if they want something more unique, I think a lot of times they are more focused on getting the lighting and tech stuff right than getting a super unique photo with a crazy pose.
- be friendly and nice, I am an introvert too, but I have learned how to make relatively painless small talk even if I am just asking them about how they got started in photography and such.
- I also show an interest in the photos and ask to see them if they get one they really like, then I praise the shot if I like it or make some mental notes on changes I can make to make it look better (or how to work with what they are doing) and still try to find something to make a positive comment about. If they do not seem to want to show me, I just brush it off and say something like "Okay, no worries, but I cannot wait to see them after the shoot!"

Besides, Paris also confirms that things related to her love relationship with Doug "have never been better".
Paris Hilton gushed about her reconciliation with Doug Reinhardt, telling Hollyscoop at the Fox Reality Channel Really Awards on Tuesday night, October 13, "I'm really happy!" She, furthermore, added, "Things have never been better, so it's exciting."
Paris' parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, who accompanied her coming to the event have also given their seal of approval for the twosome's romance. Rick and Kathy previously branded Doug as a bad guy who dated their daughter only for publication. But, they have had a change of heart, telling Hollyscoop Paris' happiness is all they care about.
Paris Hilton began dating Doug Reinhardt in early 2009. But in June, she had her representative announcing their separation while at the same time confirming, "They remain friends and ask that you please respect their privacy." The split didn't last long though as Paris and Doug got back together the following month.

US Standing Liberty Quarters
In 1916 and early 1917, the United States had not yet entered World War I, but its new Standing Liberty quarter appeared to send a message to the various combatants. Designed by Hermon MacNeil but altered by Philadelphia Mint engravers, the quarter featured Lady Liberty standing between the words "In God We Trust." A shield is in her left hand, and an olive branch is in her right, as if to say the nation was ready to protect itself yet still offered peace.
That not-so-subtle political message had barely entered into circulation when the Treasury Department allowed MacNeil to reflect the rapid approach of the war. By February 1917, Lady Liberty was clad in a sleeveless top of tightly linked chain mail—Liberty was prepared for battle.
That same year, the coin's reverse was also tweaked to return to MacNeil's preferred design—the eagle was moved up a bit to make room for three stars. Except for placing the date in a protected recess from 1925 on, the design remained unchanged until the coin's last year of issue, 1930.
Even though the 1916 coin had a small run, it is not the most prized Standing Liberty for collectors. That would be the 1918 quarter minted in San Francisco. The San Francisco Mint struck more than 11-million quarters that year, but some of them clearly show that the "8" in 1918 has been struck over the "7" in 1917. Today, this "over-date" coin is not only the most sought-after coin in the Standing Liberty series, it is one of the most coveted U.S. coins, period.
Quarters dated 1919 are also scarce in most conditions. The only other year in the series that includes a rare issue is 1927. Although there are plenty of Philadelphia coins from 1927 (almost 12 million) and a decent number of Standing Liberty quarters from Denver (just under a million), but the San Francisco Mint only produced 396,000 of the quarters, making 1927-S an expensive hole to fill in one's collection.
No Standing Liberty quarters were struck in 1931 or '32 due to a lack of demand during the Great Depression. Standing Liberty quarters were replaced with the George Washington design in 1932.

Diamond in your eyes
With looks to die for, the Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch is sleeker compared to the former MacBook models with dimensions 364 x 249 x 24.1 mm and weighs about 2.54 pounds. Apple has retained its signature design with no panel marks or breaks apart from the bottom art which covers the internals on the unibody casing which is just commands class. It is designed in such a simple way without any port clutter on the body. Apple's revolutionary design from back in 2008 has caught the eye and hence the outlook of the MacBook remains the same.
Power pact specifications
The keyboard is the chiclet style where the keys are fully black and are back lit so that if the room is not illuminated one can still carry on with their work. The touchpad has no buttons and has the all new 5 finger gesture support. There is a click action under the touchpad which makes the whole pad work as the click and the 5 finger gesture support just makes it more fun to use.

The MacBook Pro 17-inch has Intel Core i7 running at 2.2GHz , this makes work faster than ever. A very fast processor that is backed with a mix bag of powerful configurations which is the key factor thay adds to the whole Apple experience. Well for the above specifications you need a high RAM and disc space specification. The hard disc capacity has been upgraded to 750 Gb. They have the best technology fused into this which complements the other specifications and makes them stand out in the laptop segment. The hard disc capacity is 160GB 5400rpm SATA which is important aspect seeing the overall configuration. The MacBook Pro has a 17" glossy widescreen TFT LED backlit display (1280 x 800) which plays host to the best quality resolution and screen display. Majority of the other features that are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and integrated 58-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery have remained the same. The iSight webcam has evolved as it now can capture videos up to 720p so you can video chat or record videos with more clarity and higher resolution.

Jacquelyn Boggess, Executive Director
Jacquelyn L. Boggess, J.D., has worked with the Center since its inception in 1995. Her work as a policy analyst involves the investigation of the welfare system, the family law courts, and the child support system. Her particular interest lies in the interrelations among these systems, and how the social welfare policy and practice that result from this relationship affect low-income fathers, mothers, and children. Additionally, Ms. Boggess has concentrated on the question of the impact of government initiated "family formation" and father involvement policy on the safety and well-being of women and children. Ms. Boggess has a particular interest in the impact of non-resident father involvement on mothers and children. Her work in this regard has resulted in connections and collaborations with domestic violence organizations and progressive advocacy groups working on poverty reduction, violence prevention, and economic justice for parents and children. Ms. Boggess is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School.
Nino Rodriguez, Senior Policy Associate
Nino Rodriguez is responsible for developing relationships with local social-service programs and policy advocates to strengthen the Center's position as a national bridge between policy and practice. In particular, his work focuses on comprehensive services for low-income parents of color in the context of child support enforcement and other social welfare policies. Mr. Rodriguez previously provided technical assistance, research, and analysis for re-entry programs at the Vera Institute of Justice; advocated for family-focused services for people on parole at Family Justice in New York; and published and presented on homelessness prevention for people leaving prison. As a volunteer, he co-facilitates youth peer court programs for Briarpatch Youth Services in Madison.

He holds a Master of Fine Arts in film and television from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Susan Stanton, Policy Associate
Susan Stanton's work at the Center focuses on several areas of public policy, including social welfare programs, employment, and financial services, as they impact parents of color struggling to achieve economic security for themselves and their children. Her work supports CFFPP's projects funded by the Kellogg and Ford Foundations. Sue's experiences in PK-16 settings as a student, teacher, academic advisor, researcher, administrator and mom inspire and sustain her passionate drive to understand the ways in which policies structure society and impact people's lives, oftentimes inequitably and unjustly and not in line with stated purposes and objectives. Sue's interest and curiosity developed early, as a kindergartener watching her new African American friends travelling to and from school every day on a bus while she and the other white students walked a few blocks each way. Her role as community engaged scholar has created additional opportunities for her to span the boundaries that often divide, especially race and class. Living most of her life in Wisconsin, she is a proud graduate of Milwaukee Public Schools and went on to earn a BS in Secondary Education Social Studies and a master's in Educational Policy Studies from UW-Madison. With the support of many, she looks forward to completing the trifecta with a PhD from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.

STAFF of Wythall-based Phoenix Group have raised just over £25,000 for Willow Foundation, a UK charity set up by football legend Bob Wilson, the former Arsenal and Scotland goalkeeper.
Wilson and his wife Megs set up the foundation in memory of their daughter Anna.
Willow was voted for by staff at the site, as part of an extended fund-raiser this year, which the pension management company named Challenge 2012. Numerous fund-raising events have taken place over the past six months, many linked to the challenge theme.
Funds were raised by staff participating in a mile-run around the Wythall office site, a static triathlon challenge covering a total of 749 km, a 187 km cycle ride from the Wythall to London office, a team of 35 taking part in this year's Bupa Great Birmingham Run, along with charity dress-down days, raffle and donations from suppliers.
The Willow Foundation provides life-enhancing special days for seriously ill 16 to 40-year-olds. Every special day aims to provide beneficiaries and their loved ones with a break from the realities of their diagnosis and treatment.
Shellie Wells, head of media relations at Phoenix Group, said: "Our staff have really demonstrated their commitment to this cause and we feel really proud to have raised such a large amount for the charity, which provides special days for seriously ill young people."

Automated high-speed financial trading surged in volume in 2007, and now represents 22 percent of all trading, according to Larry Tabb, CEO of TABB Group. Meanwhile, the volume of financial trading handled by brokers placing orders over the phone fell from 47 percent in 2006 to 37 percent in 2007.
Tabb, whose firm tracks the impact of technology on the capital markets, says this trend of "disappearing traders" is reshaping the infrastructure that powers the US financial markets. "We're seeing a tremendous shift from high-touch channels to low-touch channels," Tabb said Tuesday at the O'Reilly Money:Tech conference in New York. "There's a tremendous amount of technology required to execute these trades. The order flow is becoming increasingly electronic."
That shift has generated demand for data center space from Wall Street firms and hedge funds, as well as high-speed networking infrastructure to execute low-latency trades. Savvis (SVVS) and Equinix (EQIX) have each seen strong demand from financial firms for colocation space in their New York and Chicago data centers.
In low latency trading, Wall Street firms use computerized algorithm-based trading systems to execute trades in milliseconds and even microseconds (one-millionth of a second). Ultra-low latency trading, also known as proximity trading, allows traders faster connections by placing their equipment as close as possible to the servers of the exchange executing the trade.
Timely market information is crucial in algorithmic trading. Last summer Savvis introduced a service to provide its financial customers with enhanced access to data feeds from major exchanges.
"There's been a tremendous growth in quote traffic," said Tabb. "If you're in this game, you need to gather real-time data from at least three major exchanges, and five regional exchanges," as well as electronic communication networks (ECNs) and private trading operations known as "dark pools."

|Fuji Rock Festival
electronic music
|last weekend of July (3 days)
|Naeba, Japan
|Years active
|1997 - present
Fuji Rock Festival is an annual rock festival held in Naeba Ski Resort, in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The three-day event, organized by Smash Japan, features more than 200 Japanese and international musicians, making it the largest outdoor music event in Japan. In 2005, more than 100,000 people attended the festival.
Fuji Rock Festival is named so because the first event in 1997 was held at the base of Mount Fuji. Since 1999 the festival has been held at the Naeba Ski Resort in Yuzawa, Niigata.
Festival groundsEdit
There are seven main stages and other minor stages scattered throughout the site. The Green stage is the main stage and it has a capacity for almost 50,000 spectators. Other stages include the White Stage, the Red Marquee, Orange Court, and Field of Heaven. The walks between some of the stages can be long, and some of the trails can be hilly, but the walks are beautiful, often taking you through forests and over sparkling streams. Dragondola – the longest gondola lift in the world, carries festival goers up to the top of the mountain overlooking the festival site.
The hub of the site is called Oasis where more than 30 food stalls from around the world gather. The main site closes each night after the final act, but Oasis continues to stay open until late at night, as well as the Red Marquee where an all-night rave continues until 5am. The site re-opens at 9am.
The night before the festival (Thursday night) features an opening party which is free entry, featuring bon-odori (traditional Japanese folk dance), prize draws, food stalls and a fireworks display.
The festival's stated aim is to be "The cleanest festival in the world"; great effort is also put into recycling.
Although Naeba, being a ski resort, offers a number of accommodation options such as hotels, ryokan and minshuku within walking distance of the festival site, competition for these is fierce and they tend to book out very quickly. Many festival goers find accommodation in nearby ski resorts such as Tashiro, Asagai and Mitsumata – the free shuttle bus linking JR Echigo-Yuzawa Station (in the town of Yuzawa to the festival site can be used for these areas which are en route. Some even find accommodation in the numerous options available in Yuzawa itself. The shuttle bus takes between 40 minutes to an hour each way and runs until 2am each night.
Alternatively, there is a campsite on a golf course next to the festival site which costs ¥3000 for the weekend (2011), complete with toilets, showers and food stalls. About 17,000 festival goers choose to spend their nights here every year. The campsite is hilly in many places and flat spots are taken quickly, however, the manicured putting greens, which are the flattest areas are generally out of bounds to campers.
In previous years many took the option of sleeping rough – a relatively common practise amongst young Japanese during the warmer months thanks to a low crime rate – in the vicinity of the site and Echigo-Yuzawa Station, however this is now prohibited.
The festival is a free 40–60-minute shuttle bus ride from JR Echigo-Yuzawa Station in the town of Yuzawa, on the Joetsu Shinkansen (bullet train) line which link it to Tokyo station in about 1.5 hours. JR Shinkansen ticket, Tokyo to Echigo-Yuzawa is 6,490 Yen one way (for a reserved seat). Car parking also available for 3,000 Yen per day at the festival site area.[1]
The first year of the festival, held on Tenjinyama Ski Resort near Mt Fuji (and hence the name), was a disaster. It was scheduled to be a two-day event, but by sheer bad luck the first day of the event was struck by a typhoon. The Red Hot Chili Peppers' headline set, played through a storm despite Anthony Kiedis having a broken arm, is almost legendary amongst Fuji Rock veterans. The festival-goers were poorly prepared for the heavy rain and strong winds, and many needed medical attention from hypothermia (although no deaths occurred). The organisers decided to cancel the second day of the event (which turned out to be sunny), and thus ended Japan's first outdoor rock festival. The organizers were criticized for being poorly prepared for bad weather, and for not organising enough buses to link the site to the nearest train station.[2]
The second year, the festival moved to a temporary location in Toyosu, on Tokyo's waterfront. Although the event was a success, many found the searing heat of mid-summer Tokyo too much to bear, and it was decided that the next event was to return to the relative coolness of the mountains.
It was in 1999 the festival found its home in Naeba, Niigata prefecture. Naeba is not anywhere close to Mt. Fuji, however, the festival still retains its original name. After the horrific first year, the organizers have been running the festival smoothly up until present.
