Bigg Boss 7 Winner Gauhar Khan, who is known for her item numbers more than her roles in Bollywood movies, was slapped last night during the grand finale of the Star Plus show Raw Star.
Reason- her skimpy outfit.
Akil Malik, who slapped her, has stated that his action was due to Gauhar's short dress despite of being a Muslim.
So while the world is busy supporting or going against the stand of this 24 year old man, we bring to you some of the hottest images of Gauhar Khan in wonderful outfits:
1.STUNNING. Raises the oomph level effortlessly in her swimsuit avatar.
2.Oh well, this is one picture Akil Malik should never be shown again, he might end up damaging the computer.
3. She looks pretty and refreshing in this one.
4.Gorgeous and stylish, the red lipstick adds elegance to her formal avatar.
5.A la Angelina Jolie style, she manages to look stunning in the slit. But her expressions make us ask- WHY SO SERIOUS?
We are sure we want more of her in such hot avatars, as long as it doesn't end as another slap incident.

The Myakka pedigree
18 years of beautifully designed fair trade furniture, forest care and fast delivery.
Gorgeous formal lighting
These lights give a lovely glow in our kitchen... I had planned to hang them around a mirror but they weren't quite long enough (my fault for not checking dimensions) - so now twisted around our candle stick holder to give a warm glow in the corner of the room. Really lovely
Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

The market has in the last one week built on its momentum. More sectors are joining in the broadbased breakouts we are witnessing. For last 4 days the number of 5% plus movers on high volume have been above 100. The number of stocks up 50% or more indicator has 10 stocks in it. 934 stocks are up 25% or more in 65 days amongst my database. So all in all while market looked shaky coming in to this week, the action so far has been pretty impressive.
Most important thing to note is the sector rotation and new sectors which are starting to take on leadership. Retail stocks had number of breakouts in this week. I have not yet run my analysis on this weeks significant movers to find sector trends (which I do on Weekend), and I will have more about using significant moves philosophy on sectors later this weekend.
Top 25 sectors by 65 day price performance:
Agricultural Chemicals
Steel & Iron
Recreational Goods - Other
Trucks & Other Vehicles
Tobacco Products - Other
Reit-Healthcare Facilities
Property Management/Develop
Drug Related Products
Residential Construction
Lumber / Wood Production
General Contractors
Resorts & Casinos
Advertising Agencies
Drug Stores
Education & Training Services
Major Airlines
Regional Airlines
Long Distance Carriers
Internet Service Providers
Housing has done very well. That should not surprise many readers of this site.Essentially the market is trading in range but sector rotation indicates healthy trends. The more the market churns at this level better it is.

Letter: Will Sanders do right by party and himself?
Will Sanders do right by party and himself?
To the editor:
At next month's Democratic convention, the elephant in the room will not be Donald Trump. It will be Bernie Sanders.
The man who inspired hoards of young, impressionable, idealistic, but impractical acolytes will definitely wield power. How much is the question.
It seems as if this Johnny-come-lately Democrat wants to change the party and force it to succumb to his demands. What's on everyone's mind is how much does he want and what will his reaction be when he doesn't get it all? Will he become the Ralph Nader of 2016 and derail the hopes of the one candidate that he is most philosophically aligned with for his own egotistical purposes, or will he realize that Hillary Clinton is his only hope of achieving any of his goals?
Politically, the deal is an easy one: Bernie steps out of the way, vigorously supports Clinton and receives a plush committee chairmanship so that he can advance his agenda. This, of course, assumes that a Clinton victory brings the Senate with her. If he doesn't, he gets nothing no matter who wins, becomes a political pariah, and emerges as a permanent fixture on the country's landscape as a Ben and Jerry's flavor, perhaps Berned almond.
Sanders should remember that, no matter which way you add the numbers, he lost the delegate race. However, he could still be a champion for his cause if he accepts a partial victory rather than chancing a complete loss.
I hope he's smarter than that. If he isn't, perhaps he's as self-centered as the candidate of the party of the elephant.
Elliot Slotnick, Becket

Man stopped at Dublin Airport with bullets in luggage
According to a report, a man was stopped at Dublin Airport security on Saturday after bullets were found in his luggage.
According to today's Irish Sun, the incident occurred on Saturday.
The live rounds were hidden inside a cigarette lighter and they were discovered after the suspect's luggage passed through an X-ray machine at security.
The man, from Lithuania, claimed they were simply souvenirs but authorities held him on suspicion of possession of ammunition.
The report quotes a source at the airport who claimed the bullets were 'ready for use and the lighter was used as an attempt to disguise them'.
According to the report it was one of the first times that ammo has been taken from passengers travelling through the airport.

TREVE demolished a high-class field to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and emulate the great Zarkava in 2008 in landing the French Oaks, Prix Vermeille and Arc in the same season.
Jockey Thierry Jarnet, winning Europe's most prestigious race for the first time since 1994 was a late replacement after intended rider Frankie Dettori cruelly fractured his ankle last week.
Criquette Head-Maarek's unbeaten filly, a well-fancied 9-2 chance, beat Japanese favourite Orfevre by five lengths with Intello in third, while the other Japanese runner Kizuna was fourth.
Treve, owned by Sheikh Joann al-Thani son of the Emir of Qatar, took control of the race with three furlongs (600m) remaining opening up a sizeable lead which Orfevre valiantly tried to reduce.
However, Christophe Soumillon was unable to conjure up a similar burst of acceleration from last year's runner-up and instead he had to battle to fend off French Derby winner Intello for second.
Kizuna looked to have every chance but failed to quicken under Yutaka Take leaving Japan still without a winner in the race they dream of winning after 44 years of trying.
For Head-Maarek it was her second win in the race after Three Troikas in 1979.
"My husband turned to me at one point and said he was worried, I replied I'm not she's cantering!" Head-Maarek said.
"At one point her head went up in the air and looked bored but she has so much class and is simply a wonder filly that she focussed and was never going to be beaten."
She also had words of sympathy for Dettori, who is the owner's retained jockey and rode her to victory in the Vermeille.
"I send my love to Frankie, he looked after her in the Vermeille because he knew the Arc was the target and I send him a big kiss."
Jarnet, 46, who last won the Arc in 1994, said: "My English is not good but this is fantastic, magic!"
For Sheikh Joann Al-Thani it was due reward for splashing out a reported 8 million euros ($11.5 million) to then owner Alec Head -- father of Criquette and himself trainer of four Arc winners -- after she won the French Oaks in June.
Treve's charge to the top of the racing tree is all the more remarkable considering that when she was offered for sale as a yearling no one was willing to buy her for just 22,000 euros.

"in patient stay"
About: Royal Albert Edward Infirmary Royal Albert Edward Infirmary Wigan WN1 2NN
Posted by cathiejay
Admitted to Leigh for day surgery in Leigh in January 2015, should have been for keyhole gall bladder removal. Converted to open cholystectomy. Nursing staff at Leigh very nice helpful and pleasant. Transferred to Wigan to Standish ward at 9pm groggy and in pain with morphine drip in place.Ambulance crew fine. Standish ward staff mainly rude,disrespectful and lacking in compassion. Miserable and unhelpful. I asked if one of the care staff could help me to sit up I was in pain and only needed a little assistance as I was helping myself the best I could,their retort was ,don't pull on me ! Machines left bleeping all night, tables pushed out of reach with water on. Day time drink in the afternoon did not arrive my query met with the reply that they didn't have enough staff to bring the patients a hot drink. Glad to be discharged 2 days later. After 4 days at home felt unwell, advised to go to Orrell ward,waited two and a half hours for a Dr to see me,query maybe skin infection ! Despite clear signs that there was redness tracking from the wound.Very pleasant member of staff band 4 . Admitted and commenced IV antibiotic treatment. No swab taken from wound site. Following day eruption of infected and bloody matter from wound, had have colostomy bag to collect volume this was on for 8 days. Wound swab taken on day 4 not getting much better, feeling very unwell all this time.Consultant who performed operation did not see me once during my stay,every day I had to ask if any Dr was reviewing me. Swab result back after7, days then prescribed correct IV antibiotic. Began to feel better. Some staff OK,did not see the need for all the overhead lights to be turned on at 6am every morning,many patients having disturbed nights, care staff came making bed ignored patients talking to each other with no regard for patient. Communication poor questions asked of staff had to be repeated again, no one ever got back with response to queries. Observed lack of compassion towards patients disregard and rudeness.Chaotic in the morning,fellow patient in pain with suspected clot wrong area scanned had to go back again. Staffing levels seemed to be reasonable, Matron can round every morning walked down the ward did not see them speak to any patients.Compliments to housekeeping and cleaning staff. I have been a qualified nurse for over 30 years and found I observed little to be proud of.Some junior drs fine but overworked. I would very nervous of having to go in as an in patient in future, I felt very little confidence in many of the staff, On reflection I suspect that the infection was possibly introduced by poor practice, If I had been discharged on antibiotics I may not have been. as vulnerable to secondary infection. 12 days in Wigan are not something I would like to repeat. This is a short! Summary I could say more.Unable to put department on survey not on dtrop down

text: I thought this could be a cool addition to the site. As WWE does their Power 25 based on their stars performance, the site could do a Power 25 (or less a Power 10 perhaps) showcasing active users. I don't know if this can be done by a plug-in, but it could be a plug-in that meaures posts from a start date to end date and shows the top 10 posters that week. Then shows them in order, perhaps a little comment below them (Like we have for the member of the month) and could show how many posts they posted in that period. I don't believe it could take up much space, it could show a few and possibly have a scroll on it to scroll down the list and only occupy a small space on the right hand side. Any thoughts on this?

Lee Purdy will not be fighting for the world title when he takes on Devon Alexander
Lee Purdy has failed to make the weight for his world title fight against Devon Alexander in Atlantic City on Saturday.
Last Updated: 18/05/13 2:31pm
The Colchester banger, who took the fight at four weeks' notice after Kell Brook pulled out through injury, was still 8oz over the 147lb limit after returning to the scales.
Purdy had originally weighed 10st 8lb but Matchroom Promotions chief Barry Hearn said enough was enough - the fight will still go ahead without the IBF strap on the line for the challenger.
"These things happen. At least there's still a fight," Hearn told ESPN.com. "He took this fight on four weeks' notice. He's a good kid and a consummate pro, but there was nothing left for him to take off."
Purdy will reportedly be docked 10 percent of his $150,000 purse with half going to Alexander.
Both fighters made the fight-day weight check of 157lb - 10lb above the limit - on Saturday morning confirming the fight would go ahead.
Alexander will retain the title even if he loses, while if he wins it will be regarded as his first defence having beaten Randall Bailey last year.
The fight will co-feature on the Atlantic City show that sees Lamont Peterson take on Lucas Matthysse, who both hold portions of the light-welterweight title.

What is eczema?
Eczema is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes which are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema, itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. Areas of temporary skin discoloration may appear and are sometimes due to healed lesions, although scarring is rare.
Types of common eczemas
Atopic eczema (aka infantile e., flexural e., atopic dermatitis) is believed to have a hereditary component, and often runs in families whose members also have hay fever and asthma. Itchy rash is particularly noticeable on face and scalp, neck, inside of elbows, behind knees, and buttocks. Experts are urging doctors to be more vigilant in weeding out cases that are, in actuality, irritant contact dermatitis. It is very common in developed countries, and rising.
Contact dermatitis is of two types: allergic (resulting from a delayed reaction to some allergen, such as poison ivy or nickel), and irritant (resulting from direct reaction to a solvent, for example). Some substances act both as allergen and irritant (e.g. wet cement). Other substances cause a problem after sunlight exposure, bringing on phototoxic dermatitis. About three quarters of cases of contact eczema are of the irritant type, which is the most common occupational skin disease. Contact eczema is curable provided the offending substance can be avoided, and its traces removed from one's environment.
Xerotic eczema (aka asteatotic e., e. craquele or craquelatum, winter itch, pruritus hiemalis) is dry skin that becomes so serious it turns into eczema. It worsens in dry winter weather, and limbs and trunk are most often affected. The itchy, tender skin resembles a dry, cracked, river bed. This disorder is very common among the older population. Ichthyosis is a related disorder.
Seborrhoeic dermatitis (aka cradle cap in infants, dandruff) causes dry or greasy scaling of the scalp and eyebrows. Scaly pimples and red patches sometimes appear in various adjacent places. In newborns it causes a thick, yellow crusty scalp rash called cradle cap which seems related to lack of biotin, and is often curable.
Less common eczemas
Dyshidrosis (aka dyshidrotic e., pompholyx, vesicular palmoplantar dermatitis, housewife's eczema) only occurs on palms, soles, and sides of fingers and toes. Tiny opaque bumps called vesicles, thickening, and cracks are accompanied by itching which gets worse at night. A common type of hand eczema, it worsens in warm weather.
Discoid eczema (aka nummular e., exudative e., microbial e.) is characterized by round spots of oozing or dry rash, with clear boundaries, often on lower legs. It is usually worse in winter. Cause is unknown, and the condition tends to come and go.
Venous eczema (aka gravitational e., stasis dermatitis, varicose e.) occurs in people with impaired circulation, varicose veins and edema, and is particularly common in the ankle area of people over 50. There is redness, scaling, darkening of the skin and itching. The disorder predisposes to leg ulcers.
Dermatitis herpetiformis (aka Duhring's Disease) causes intensely itchy and typically symmetrical rash on arms, thighs, knees, and back. It is directly related to celiac disease and can often be put into remission with appropriate diet.
Neurodermatitis (aka lichen simplex chronicus, localized scratch dermatitis) is an itchy area of thickened, pigmented eczema patch that results from habitual rubbing and scratching. Usually there is only one spot. Often curable through behavior modification and anti-inflammatory medication. Prurigo nodularis is a related disorder showing multiple lumps.
Autoeczematization (aka id reaction, autosensitization) is an eczematous reaction to an infection with parasites, fungi, bacteria or viruses. It is completely curable with the clearance of the original infection that caused it. The appearance varies depending on the cause. It always occurs some distance away from the original infection.
There are also eczemas overlaid by viral infections (e. herpeticum, e. vaccinatum), and eczemas resulting from underlying disease (e.g. lymphoma). Eczemas originating from ingestion of medications, foods, and chemicals, have not yet been clearly systematized. Other rare eczematous disorders exist in addition to those listed here.

Challinor wants County return
By Steve Luckings
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The former Tranmere stopper, along with striker Jon Daly, have been helping the Third Division outfit try to pull away from the relegation dog-fight but are determined to return to Edgeley Park and help County do similar.
Challinor says he wants to return to the Greater Manchester club to sort out where he stands as he believes he can still do a job.
"If I was asked do I think I could come back tomorrow and do a job for Stockport County, I'd say yes," Challinor told the Stockport Express.
"But I'm sure Jon (Daly), Aaron (Lescott) and Jim (Goodwin) would say the same as they've not really been in the side recently either.
"As a player, you feel hard done by going out on loan, but Stockport's results speak for themselves.
"My last game for Bury is on March 6 and after that all I can say is I'll be back at Stockport County.
"It's time to go back and see where I stand, to see about my future. Some people think you can sort that out from here, but that's not the case, you need to be at your own club to see what's going on."

Proteus: a hierarchical portfolio of solvers and transformations. In recent years, portfolio approaches to solving SAT problems and CSPs have become increasingly common. There are also a number of different encodings for representing CSPs as SAT instances. In this paper, we leverage advances in both SAT and CSP solving to present a novel hierarchical portfolio-based approach to CSP solving, which we call Proteus, that does not rely purely on CSP solvers. Instead, it may decide that it is best to encode a CSP problem instance into SAT, selecting an appropriate encoding and a corresponding SAT solver. Our experimental evaluation used an instance of Proteus that involved four CSP solvers, three SAT encodings, and six SAT solvers, evaluated on the most challenging problem instances from the CSP solver competitions, involving global and intensional constraints. We show that significant performance improvements can be achieved by Proteus obtained by exploiting alternative view-points and solvers for combinatorial problem-solving.

League One round-up
By Tom Adams
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Southend's promotion party was put on hold whilst Walsall were relegated.
Southend's promotion party was put on hold whilst Walsall were relegated from League One on a busy Saturday afternoon.
The Saddlers' 3-1 home defeat to Huddersfield, coupled with Yeovil and Rotherham picking up points, confirmed they will be playing League Two football next season.
The Terriers, who remain three points shy of automatic promotion thanks to the result, went into the break a goal ahead thanks to Danny Graham and their chances were handed a boost when the home side had Chris Westwood dismissed for violent conduct on 71 minutes.
Peter Jackson's side then edged further in front through Pawel Abbott (83), but a frantic late flurry saw on-loan Luton midfielder Michael Leary reduce the deficit (91) before Andy Booth (93) deepened the gloom at the Bescot Stadium.
At the top of the table Southend knew a win would guarantee their promotion to The Championship, but Steve Tilson's side failed to read the script as a James Coppinger goal (46) saw Doncaster claim a 1-0 win that kept their play-off hopes alive.
Rivals Colchester are now just three points off the top of the table, with two games to play, after claiming a 2-1 win at struggling Bournemouth.
Within the first ten minutes Liam Chilvers and Stephen Cooke traded goals, but it was left to Scott Vernon on 51 minutes to ensure the Essex outfit remain one point ahead of the play-offs.
Their closest challengers Brentford maintained the pressure with a 3-1 win over Swindon - who are now close to the drop after slumping to five points shy of safety.
Martin Allen's Bees raced to a two-goal lead before the break thanks to strikes from Paul Brooker (27) and Marcus Gayle (39), and after Aaron Brown (71) had reduced arrears Calum Willock (75) ended any hopes of a home comeback.
Barnsley's hopes of automatic promotion were ended by Blackpool, and they are still hanging onto a play-off position by one point after a 1-1 draw.
Blackpool took the lead through Keigan Parker on 21 minutes, but eight minutes after the break Brian Howard drew the Yorkshire side level - who later had Paul Reid dismissed for a professional foul.
Nottingham Forest's resurgent form was halted by Hartlepool who are now three points adrift of safety after a dramatic 3-2 win.
Forest looked to be in control when former Wycombe hot-shot Nathan Tyson scored after quarter of an hour, but Joel Porter (32) levelled before the break.
After half time it was a different proposition for the home side as two goals in the space of a minute from Michael Nelson and Michael Proctor sent Victoria park into raptures, before Kris Commons (67) set up a nervy conclusion.
MK Dons also did their hopes of avoiding the drop the world of good as they moved to within two points of 20th placed Rotherham with a 2-1 win at Chesterfield.
Danny Wilson's side developed early momentum when Clive Platt scored on 13 minutes, but Chesterfield equalised through Colin Larkin (50) before Gareth Edds claimed a dramatic late victory four minutes from time.
Rotherham's 1-1 draw with Scunthorpe contributed to Walsall's demise, and it was Will Hoskins' 83rd minute equaliser that dealt the final blow after Scunthorpe had taken the lead through Andrew Keogh (41).
Yeovil's 4-3 triumph at home to Gillingham moved them three points clear of the drop zone, but they looked in trouble when The Gills stole in front on 12 minutes through Tommy Black.
However the visitors them compromised their own efforts when Brent Sancho was dismissed just four minutes later, with Phil Jevons scoring from the resultant spot kick.
Further strikes from Chris Cohen (36), Paul Terry (52) and Aaron Davies (56) seemed to put Steve Thompson's side in control, but Michael Flynn (77) and Andrew Crofts (88) ensured their win was far from straightforward.
Swansea's 1-1 draw with Oldham saw them move into the top six on goal difference and it was Kristian O'Leary (68) who ensured a share of the spoils for the Welsh side after Luke Beckett's penalty on the hour mark.
A resounding 3-0 win for Bristol City saw Gary Johnson's side cut the gap to the play-offs by three points as they triumphed at Tranmere.
An early goal from Steve Brooker (17) set up the impressive victory, and after Mark McCammon (34) had grabbed a second Rovers were in further trouble when Jason McAteer was dismissed.
The home side are now only two points ahead of the top four and their day grew worse when Craig Woodman scored from the spot in injury time.
In League One's other game, Bradford beat Port Vale courtesy of Mark Bower (44).

The Senate on Wednesday approved a short-term funding measure that would keep the government operating through September but deny a scheduled pay raise for federal workers and lock in the sequester cuts over the same period.
The bill, which passed by a vote of 73 to 26, now moves to the House, which approved a similar measure two weeks ago. The House can vote on the Senate legislation or go to conference to resolve the differences between the two proposals.
Both versions would give the Obama administration more control over how it implements the sequester cuts, although the Senate measure would do so to a greater degree. Neither would lift the threat of furloughs for federal workers.
The National Active and Retired Federal Employees association responded negatively to the provision in the Senate bill that would deny the scheduled 0.5 percent pay increase for federal workers.
"By extending the federal employee pay freeze for a third year, the House and Senate continue to use federal employees to fix a problem they didn't create," said NARFE president Joseph A. Beaudoin.
Federal salary rates have not increased since January 2010, although eligible workers have continued to received pay bumps in the form of performance bonuses and step increases, as well as for promotions.

Pussy whipped w/ Sarah
Ok guys, feels like were trying to do much on this one… I love sara but this one isnt working…. Less is usually more… The song rocks on its own.
What !!?? Craig and I agree!!!
Yeah it just does not work with her vocals.
We can add some sound effects like the "flock of seagals", but other than that it is pretty much a track waiting to be mastered. Oh and once again we need to use a click track. It is very fast in the beginning and very slow at the end. Most people won't notice it. On the guitar solo it need to fade out, this is right after the disco part. You can hear the static/distortion.
it was just for ron to hear. i agree. can you try some sound effects to oh and aw?
also michael can you make it possible for ron and i to be able to download the tunes somewhere secretively on the site?
Was very pleased to find this blog.I would like to thank you for this good read!! I absolutely enjoying every little bit of it and I have bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.


text: During the second quarter we also were affected by some scheduled and unscheduled maintenance at a major Petrochemicals customer facilities. These facilities are now back in service. Black oil demand remains strong driven by continued stable refinery output and the continued exportation of heavy fuel oil. Also the movement of crude oil along both the river and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway continues to be brisk. I'd also note that we did load our first Balken crude cargo out of St. Louis over the weekend. Refined product demand remains positive benefiting from additional volumes from major customers. In our Agricultural Chemicals demand driven by low inventory levels and high corn prices remains strong in April and May but it declined sharply in June as expected.Revenues from our long-term contracts, that is one year or longer in duration, remained at 75% and the mix of time charter and the freightment business continue to be about 55% and 45% respectively. Turning to the Inland Marine Transportation pricing, term contracts during the second quarter continue to be renewed in the mid-single digit level with some cases slightly higher pricing when compared to the 2011 second quarter. Spot contract pricing, which includes the price of fuel saw rates increase modestly when compared to the 2012 first quarter. We continue to invest in our Inland fleet both in terms of new construction and upgrading existing barges. This reduces maintenance cost and out of service days and improves the reliability of the fleet and our customer service. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

The 16 year-old Dover male was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose on Sunday, May 20 after he allegedly shot a Spruce Street man in the back with a Crossman Powermaster .177 caliber pellet pump rifle, police report.
Officers were called to Spruce Street at 5:38 p.m. on Sunday, May 20, by the man who reported having been shot.
His back was bleeding and he produced a pellet, which he said had hit him.
He also mentioned he was shot while walking to his front door and that his 12 year-old nephew had been behind him.
He said when he turned around after being hit, he saw a third floor window on the house across the street being closed.
Officers went across to that house and knocked on the door. They asked the woman who answered the door if there were people up in the third floor. She told them her son and some pals had just left.
Officers checked the attic and found several pellets near the window. They then checked the neighborhood and quickly located three of the juveniles in question and interviewed them, police said.
The youths alleged the homeowner's son had a pellet gun and had shot the man although they told him not to do so. They described the weapon and said he hid it in a closet after he shot the man.
The youth was later located and brought to headquarters and asked about the incident.
He reportedly claimed he was shooting at a bird on the wires outside his home but the pellet went straight out before suddenly changing direction and going down at an angle and hitting the man across the street.
Told his pals already described what occurred, including the fact he said he was going to shoot the man and did so despite their protestations, the youth admitted he had shot at the man to "scare" him because he thought it would be "fun."

Finding a photographer for ebook cover images
For my part, it's fun writing and self-publishing eBooks about vampires, demons, werewolves, sorcerers and other supernatural creatures. But those dynamic eBook cover images require finding a photographer or an illustrator.
My love of cinema demands that I go with live model images. To this end, I recruited a team to help create the new images for a revitalized "Shadowdance" saga. That team includes the following:
- A photographer
- A makeup artist/ hairstylist
- Models
In this post, I'll discuss looking for a photographer. Posts next week (don't want to get lost in the "Batman vs Superman" cloud!) will cover looking for models and makeup artists. A final post will discuss the legal aspects of all this stuff.
And yes, there are legal aspects — unless you're self-publishing for fun and not profit. But you're looking for some profit with that fun, right?
Finding a photographer – pro vs. amateur
It's a temptation to just use your phone to capture your images. Then your promo work might look like Kim Kardashian's Instagram posts. With clothes on (hopefully?).
That's great for social media; not so great for the banner above your convention table or the web ad on Goodreads. People already think self-publishing is all ego and amateur; don't support that idea by having amateur images.
This doesn't mean you have to go with an expensive pro shooter (but if you can afford it, do it!). Keep in mind, though, pros have the experience. They can get you locations or studio space at a reduced rate (or maybe even free!). They know models, makeup artists, hairstylists and other networked contacts that will make your life easier.
When talking to the pros, always share your concept of the book and your desired images. That expensive pro shooter may love the concept and work a deal for a lower rate or some other quid pro quo just to be a part of the team.
If your budget won't allow for the pro shooter, ask around. You may have a friend, colleague or familiar who loves photography, has an eye for it, and is willing to work with you on a low-to-no budget basis.
You may even get lucky and find someone who is a pro shooter, moonlights in another field and is dying to get back in the photography game.
Never know until you ask.
Keep in mind that an amateur probably won't have the insider access to models, studios etc. that a pro would. This means more work on your end.
If you're really stumped, try searching Model Mayhem for photographers. I'll have more on that site in the "finding a model" discussion.
What to look for in a photographer
The first thing you need to see from a photographer is their portfolio. Most photogs worth their effort have a website with their images on display. Portrait and wedding work can illicit some interesting images, but it's the world of fashion that really lets a photographer bust out his inner Da Vinci.
When looking at the photographer's work, see if their style matches the world of your book. You spent all that time laboring in the development of a world; don't dishonor that work by misrepresenting it in your promo images.
How to secure your photographer
Once you've decided on a photographer, you have to negotiate the deal.
Pro shooters will have a set rate, usually hourly with a minimum number of hours or a flat day rate. If you're shooting a single model with minimal clothing changes, you can probably get away with a half day, which most people hold to four or five hours.
Decide on the half/ full day thing at the outset. Whatever you decide, that time will ripple to the other players in your shoot.
Also be prepared to pay a percentage of your fee up front to book the photographer. This is a standard "good faith" practice that shows you're serious about the job.
If the photographer demands the whole nut up front, I'd be wary. This shooter better be either a good friend or "Vanity Fair" worthy. Also, don't offer to pay a percentage. Only do so when asked and if reasonable.
Once you've worked out payment with the photographer, book your date for the shoot. Book an alternate day in case of, particularly if you're planning for an outdoor shoot. And then, before you sign any contracts, figure out the legal stuff.
Since the legal is fairly similar to the models, I'll cover that in a separate post.
Next week, I'll include links here to info on finding models or makeup artists. The following link will take you straight to the boring (but necessary) legal stuff.

Now You Can Call Justin Bieber on His Cell Phone
(When you need his love.)
Most Popular
Justin Bieber is a human with functioning ears, so of course he loves "Hotline Bling" by Drake. But he took it to another level, setting up a literal hotline so fans could listen to him put his own spin on the track.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Bieber set up the line at (231) 377-1113, and encouraged his fans on Twitter and Instagram to give him a call. On the other end of the line? The Biebs singing a "Hotline Bling" remix (that is, if you can get through...otherwise it's a busy signal). Nothing like a little Canadian solidarity.
If you can't reach Bieber, take a listen below, via Pitchfork. Here's hoping he releases his own sweater-filled video ASAP.

Rosacea flare-up? Try these top tips
Whether you're prone to looking a little flushed or suffer from severe Acne Rosacea, the condition can be frustrating. Largely this is because the exact causes of the condition aren't yet understood – so there isn't a definitive cure – and to make matters worse Rosacea tends to affect the face, so a flare-up can't really be concealed by your clothing.
But if you are struggling with Rosacea the good news is there are a number of things you can do to manage and improve the condition of your skin.
Rosacea is a very common skin complaint; it affects around 45 million people worldwide. The condition is most common in women, though men who suffer from Rosacea tend to have more serious cases.
One of the key steps to managing flare-ups is to try and work out what it is that triggers them. Each person is individual, but common triggers include hot drinks, spicy foods, changes in temperature and UV exposure. If you're unsure one top-tip is to start keeping a skin diary, that way over time you'll be able to spot it if there is a pattern to your condition and know what you need to avoid.
Stress is another contributing factor which it will help your skin if you manage. It may sound easier said than done to keep your stress levels low, but learning relaxation techniques like yoga, breathing exercises and meditation can help control stress related Rosacea.
You'll also need to take extra care when choosing your cosmetic products. Rosacea prone skin is highly sensitive, so look out for products described as mild, hypoallergenic and fragrance free to avoid aggravating your condition. Other ingredients that can be irritating to delicate skin include alcohol, menthol, witch hazel, eucalyptus oil and sodium lauryl sulphate.
In terms of treatments, the PPx Lasers are a very effective solution for Rosacea sufferers. The treatment uses light therapy to even the skin tone, removing unwanted red pigment so your skin will look remarkably calmer with an even colour.

Supporters of marijuana regulation in Colorado are calling for the resignation of the six Colorado sheriffs who filed a federal lawsuit Thursday intended to force Colorado marijuana production and sales back into the underground market.
According to news reports, the sheriffs claim they are experiencing a "crisis of conscience" because they believe federal marijuana laws prohibit them from enforcing state marijuana laws. However, the U.S. Controlled Substances Act includes a provision that clearly states is not intended to preempt state laws, and it specifically authorizes states to pursue their own marijuana laws.
The sheriffs listed as plaintiffs in the suit are Justin E. Smith of Larimer County, Chad Day of Yuma County, Shayne Heap of Elbert County, Ronald B. Bruce of Hinsdale County, Casey Sheridan of Kiowa County, and Frederick D. McKee of Delta County.
Legalization advocates, including Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), point to the many positive benefits of legalization, including that it has reduced the burden on law enforcement within the state, citing the fact that marijuana possession arrests have dropped 84 percent in Colorado since 2010. Colorado is also experiencing significant benefits, including a decreasing unemployment rate, more than $50 million in tax revenue in FY 2014-15, and reduced rates of burglary and homicide.

$4000 to visit the home of art - Italy
Italy and its art are simply inseparable.
From Roman frescos and mosaics to The Renaissance, The Baroque and Rococo. Gregorian chants, Tarantella dances, Venetian glass. Michelangelo, Puccini, Fellini.
That is why Carclew is proud and excited to be offering the one-off June S. Tanner Memorial Scholarship of $4,000 to help a South Australian artist undertake a professional development program of their choice in Italy.
While the artist can be engaged in any art form, he or she must have an existing body of work and be aged 26 or under.
"This is such an exciting opportunity," said Tricia Walton, Carclew's Chief Executive.
"Italy not only has a breathtaking artistic history, it continues as an artistic centre today across every field, both classical and contemporary, traditional forms and experimental.
"Italy breathes arts, so to study there, surrounded by cultural inspirations, would be an incredible, unrivalled experience that will expand your skill, knowledge and passion for what you do."
The June S. Tanner Memorial Scholarship – which is offered in conjunction with the Independent Arts Foundation and the Italia-Australia Association – honours the memory of June Tanner. An arts-lover, June taught mosaic-making and accompanied groups of Australians on cultural tours of Italy. She was also a Vice-President of the SA Branch of the Italia-Australia Association.
"If you are a young artist and Italian culture and inspirations can help you develop, then I urge you to apply," Tricia said.
To cope with the expected interest, an additional information session is being held at Carclew, 11 Jeffcott Street, Kaurna Country, North Adelaide.
- Wednesday 18 February, 5:30-6:30pm
Information and application details can also be found at carclew.com.au
Applications close at 11:59pm (ACDT) 15 March 2015.

Spending quality time with your family is important. It builds bonds and allows family members to stay updated with activities that go on with other family members' lives. It is great that many schools and companies today organize a Family day event. If you are tasked with organizing such an event, here are simple tips to get you started from eventmanagement2u.com.
Tip number one is to determine a theme for the event. A theme will help you identify activities that you will have for the Family day event. This will also help you determine what type of venue to look for.
Another tip from ADEvent is to confirm how many people would attend the event. This will also help you narrow down the number of event venues to choose from. A huge number of attendees may require an outdoor venue. A hotel function room is sufficient for a more intimate gathering.
Tip number three is to get in touch with caterers. You need to consider the theme for the event when you are choosing food to be served. You can also compare at least a couple of caterers so you can get the best deals. Just make sure you already have the number of confirmed attendees since the caterers would need this information.
Tip number four is to invite keynote speakers to the event. Make sure that this is someone that can promote the importance of family values and relationships. It is also important to confirm the date and time of the event before you contact potential speakers.

June 5, 2013
LOGAN, Utah - Utah State soccer student-athlete Shay Haddow has been invited to participate in the NCAA's Career Sports Forum, June 8-11 in Indianapolis, Ind.
She is the second Aggie soccer player to take part in the Forum since Marissa Sanchez was invited in 2011.Last season, volleyball player Alyssa Everett was the Utah State representative at the NCAA Forum.
"I am very excited that Shay has been chosen for this opportunity, as she has expressed a desire to go into college athletics administration. This will be a fantastic learning opportunity for her as she transitions from being a student-athlete to becoming a professional. The opportunity to network and to learn about all the different administrative roles that support the student-athletes will be invaluable," USU head coach Heather Cairns said.
Haddow, a senior midfielder, from South Jordan, Utah, is majoring in exercise science. She played in 19 of the Aggies' 22 matches as Utah State captured its second-straight Western Athletic Conference tournament title.
She is the only student-athlete from the Mountain West attending the forum, as well as one of three student-athletes from the state of Utah, joining two from Utah.
This is the eighth-straight year that Utah State will be represented by at least one student-athlete, as well as the second time in three years from the soccer team. USU was represented by Everett in 2012, Sanchez in 2011, volleyball players Whitney Mendivil and Shantell Durrant in 2010, football player Peter Caldwell in 2009, gymnast Heather Heinrich in 2008, football player Nnamdi Gwacham in 2007 and men's golfer Preston Otte in 2006.
Haddow is one of 300 student-athletes to be a part of the prestigious forum, focusing on assisting student-athletes with making a successful transition from competition to their future professions in intercollegiate athletics.
The Career in Sports Forum brings career leaders together to discuss their professional career paths and to enlighten student-athletes on career choices and future decisions. Some of the session topics include discussion on skills sets needed to perform at the highest level; nontraditional careers in athletics; best practices in athletics administration; personal and professional branding; resources for applying to graduate school; and human resource hiring processes.
There are also team sessions where the student-athletes are put in smaller groups to discuss key issues and take leadership roles amongst their peers. The student-athletes will also engage in dialogue with senior administrators from the NCAA national office and will have a formal networking dinner with NCAA administrators.
Following the 2012 season, the Utah State soccer team earned the National Soccer Coaches of America (NSCAA) Team Academic Award after posting a 3.42 grade point average. This is the 10th-straight year that USU has been honored with the NSCAA award.
Utah State captured its fourth WAC title in the last five years and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season after going 13-3-6 overall and 6-0-2 in its final season in the WAC. The Aggies will now enter the Mountain West Conference.

The perfect brownie with piping hot fudge is a great little treat for the winter months, but if you're not shivering under the cold weather, it's also a great anytime dessert!

I fell, and broke both femurs. With both knees replaced, and a prior break in my left hip area, Dr. Divaris managed to put me back together. The,office is run with courtesy and professionalism. Small wait times, and things were explained in an understandable manner. Recommend highly!

Excellent surgeon. I had a potentially crippling injury after I shattered a hip and pelvis. He was able to piece me back together. Its been 5 years I have 98% of my mobility and no real restrictions. A real miracle worker and a nice guy to boot.

Excellent under the circumstances!!
I shattered my ankle tripping over my cat believe it or not. I was rushed to Stony Brook and casted right away. I had the privilege of seeing Dr Divaris afterwards. Omg under the condition I was in and two surgeries later by him was amazing. A true legend in orthopedic surgery with a great bed side manner!! Would never see anyone else as long as my cat is still alive! What a fantastic doctor..cant say enough great things about him..very highly recommended!

Waiting for Follow-Up!
Went to see Dr. Divaris for a second opinion and told me his Secretary will contact me regarding insurance approval on a procedure and follow-up etc ... This was 4-weeks ago! Really?!?! Think I will stick with the first MD I went to!

Dr. Divaris is wonderful; very thorough and focused. The wait time is horrendous,though. I had the first appointment of the day and it was 55 minutes until they put me in an examining room and another half hour for xray and a "pre-examination" by a resident(?). It was only then that I finally saw Dr. D. Then when I came out to make a follow up appointment, I was told to wait in line behind 6 or 7 new arrivals, even though I had already been there for an hour and forty five minutes! Office staff definitely needs improving.

I don't know how to explain this.... Also, note that reopen times are still longer for delete+add. This is because the deletes are still only being resolved when it's time to reopen (or, time to merge), not after every 100 docs. This also explains why going from reopen sec 10 -> 30 didn't see any change in the reopen time: after 10 seconds (= 10 new segments), a merge kicks off, which always resolves the deletes. So I think this is good news, in that it brings QPS back up to nearly the baseline, but bad news in that, I have no idea why... > Create benchmark & approach for testing Lucene's near real-time performance > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2061 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2061 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Task > Components: Index > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Attachments: LUCENE-2061.patch, LUCENE-2061.patch > > > With the improvements to contrib/benchmark in LUCENE-2050, it's now > possible to create compelling algs to test indexing & searching > throughput against a periodically reopened near-real-time reader from > the IndexWriter. > Coming out of the discussions in LUCENE-1526, I think to properly > characterize NRT, we should measure net search throughput as a > function of both reopen rate (ie how often you get a new NRT reader > from the writer) and indexing rate.
