Reinventing the Wheel, Softly
Design Spotlight: The SoftWheel
Like Soylent, the meal replacement invented by 24-year-old entrepreneur Rob Rhinehart when he couldn't afford real food, or Iron Man, created by industrialist Tony Stark to escape the lair of the evil Wong-Chu, the SoftWheel arose as an invention of necessity: Gilad Wolf, an Israeli farmer who'd broken his pelvis, needed a way to get around his farm but found that conventional wheelchairs aggravated his injury. His idea was the SoftWheel, a wheel system with three built-in compression cylinders that distributes force from bumps and drops through the wheels instead of transferring it to the rider. With the help of the Rad-BioMed Technology Accelerator in Tel Aviv, he converted his concept sketches into a patent-pending design.

It's not the first product to reinvent the wheel. Last year, MIT scientists got a lot of press for inventing the Copenhagen Wheel, which turns an ordinary bike into an electric bike and monitors everything from pollution levels to road conditions. It's not even the first product to put suspension into wheels, as British designer Sam Pearce recently did with the Loopwheel. But it is the first in-wheel suspension created specifically for wheelchairs.
However, its innovation comes at a cost. Currently, high-end wheelchairs like the Invacare Top End Reveal cost anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000. A pair of SoftWheels alone costs $2,000. But, as SoftWheel CEO Daniel Barel points out, the wheels, which should be released to the public in Q4 of 2014, are retrofittable to any wheeled frame. And if you heal up? Throw them on your bike or your unicycle, and maybe try not to be so crazy this time around.

"This workshop taught me to catch the moment" - Yevgenia Shirkina
UNICEF and Perspectiva organize a photography workshop for children with disabilities
Take a look at their photo journal :Children with disabilities capture colours of Moscow
With a growing economy, thanks in large part to the country's abundant natural resources, Russia is now a place of opportunity. Not for everyone, however. Children with disabilities are still trying to find a better place in their society. UNICEF and its Russian partner, Perspectiva, is trying to bring inclusive education for children with disabilities to the top of the social agenda in Russia today.
From May 21 to May 25, UNICEF and Perspectiva organised a photography workshop for children with disabilities. Twenty children participated in the project. Half of them had disabilities that ranged from a boy confined to a wheelchair, a young girl who was born without arms, a young girl with impaired hearing, and a girl with Down's syndrome. Each disabled child was paired with a child without disabilities.
"It's always been my dream to learn photography," said Yevgenia, who was paired with Katya Sharygina, 14. "It's very interesting and maybe I'll become a photographer some day.''
Before the children began to spread out across Moscow in hopes of immortalising their impressions of the Russian capital, they spent two days studying the basic principles of photography under the close and attentive eye of UNICEF photographer, Giacomo Pirozzi. While the children were uncertain and coy on the first two days, by day three, when they got their marching orders to begin shooting with their digital cameras, the enthusiasm came bursting out.

As previously mentioned on here, I wanted to check out converting Bachmann
On3 to 3 rail O gauge, to fill the huge gaps in product offerings. First and easy
was a combine quickly mounted on 1930's Scalecraft archbar trucks with large
flanges. Next, with the time available, I just did a test fit of Keystone Loco.
Works logging archbars with tinplate wheelsets under the tender of the Bachmann T boilered Shay. That looks workable, but the fun part will be
converting front truck and making all operate. Did not find the car particularly
ungainly, any more than a Sierra coach or the shorty combine behind the
Hercules steam dummy in Mammoth Cave Nat. Park. I am sure someone ingenious out there will beat me to getting a Shay three railed.

After living in Michigan for 53 yrs, I enjoyed the tour!! I absolutely hate the "Pure Michigan" logo. Michigan is surrounded by the Great Lakes and they are awesome! Two peninsulas is so unique and I just don't get the "pure".
That is a fun ad, I read about it in the grayling paper and was not sure how it was going to go together. I like it.

Singer Bruno Mars feels like he's locked out of heaven, but he certainly wasn't locked out of the brand-new music venue the Chelsea in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Sunday night.
The Chelsea and Mars made their debut at the third-floor space, and photographer Denise Truscello of WireImage was onsite for a photo gallery.
This journalist plans to be at Mars' New Year's Eve performance Tuesday night, so check back later in the week for a report of the concert at the gorgeous, new multi-purpose venue that reminds of a more elegant version of the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel.
Mars' extended engagement at the Chelsea is set for Feb. 15-16, May 23-24 and Aug. 22-23. The Chelsea's lineup also includes Eric Church and Childish Gambino.
Mars, born Peter Gene Hernandez in Honolulu and crooner of No. 1 hits "Just the Way You Are," "Grenade," "Locked Out of Heaven" and "When I Was Your Man," is the Super Bowl XLVIII (48) Halftime Show headliner at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford N.J., on Sunday, Feb. 2.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas dares to be different. From the hotel's red reservations desks to fine art found throughout the resort, The Cosmopolitan's signature style is helping to pave its own path on the Las Vegas Strip.
Upon entering the resort, you're greeted by pillars of video boards playing video art by Digital Kitchen and David Rockwell Studio exclusively produced for The Cosmopolitan. Just beyond that, you'll find all your favorite casino games on the resort's 100,000-square-foot casino floor.
The Cosmopolitan's rooms standout as the resort's most unique feature. About 2,220 of The Cosmopolitan's 2,995 rooms have 6-foot deep terraces that span the length of the room, a first at a modern Strip hotel. Other in-room amenities include soaking tubs, kitchenettes and quirky accessories like artsy coffee table books.
The dining experience at The Cosmopolitan isn't something you'll find at other Strip resorts, either. All of The Cosmopolitan's 13 restaurateurs are new to the Las Vegas market. You'll find American steakhouse fare in a modern setting at STK, top-notch sushi at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill and the freshest fish flown in from the Mediterranean daily at Estiatorio Milos.
Whether the sun is up or down, Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub is the place to find the party at The Cosmopolitan. The venue is a dayclub/nightclub, complete with a pool and cabanas outside and three different rooms with three different vibes inside.
If nightclubs aren't your thing, you can grab a drink at one of The Cosmopolitan's five other bars, like The Chandelier, which is encased in 2 million dripping crystals.

I have been ruined, my friends. Forever. By nothing more than a simple brown butter cake batter. And as I sit here and type this, I can only contemplate one thing – chemistry. What a boring name for what actually happens! It should be called magic, or sorcery, or things transformed. But not chemistry. That doesn't sounds like something I want to eat.
While we're talking chemistry here, let me just confess that I loathed chemistry in high school. In fact, I think I might have avoided pre-med specifically because of it. My mother still thinks I would have made a fantastic doctor (she thinks surgery's my thing) and I don't disagree with her – medicine has always fascinated me as I readily absorbed all the medical trivia. And they always say that you tend to remember that which interests you the most. Likes crus of butter, or benefits of raw milk, or say all the different kinds of apples you can find at farmers market this month. But what I am realizing now, after all these years, is that I should have loved chemistry most of all subjects; I should have been doing that homework first, and not last. After all, chemistry is all about change and transformation – which is really what cooking is all about.
Butter by itself is an exciting thing, at least to me. I could wax rhapsodic about how if you take cream and just shake it for some time, you get butter. You start with one thing. You finish with another. Magic, right? And when your end result happens to be butter – nothing short of enchanting or magical should be attributed to your result. But, if you continue on, and take this butter, this delicious, sinfully rich, tangy butter that you just made and you heat it to the point where its solids turn chocolatey-brown, you get this thing that I consider to be the sexiest two words in the English language – brown butter.
I think it's impossible to understand why people go mad for brown butter until you try it, or try something with it. I have yet to meet a soul who hasn't been completely seduced by it. I say "seduced" and not "won over" because brown butter is exactly that: seductive, sensual, sexy. If butter is a negligee, then brown butter is the merry widow. Even as I write this, my heart sinks a little bit, the same way it sinks when someone you have a huge crush on leans in for that first kiss and the world suddenly goes into surreal slow motion.
For me, this pound cake is that ultimate crush. I can have it as dessert at the end of the meal topped with gorgeous berries (or wine-stewed prunes as in the picture at the bottom of the page) or it's my perfect morning coffee companion. And while pound cake isn't the kind of thing one normally gets giddy about, brown butter pound cake, certainly is, at least in my book. You should also know by now that I'm a girl who likes her bourbon and looks for opportunities sneak it in anywhere she can. At times, I wonder if the Sassy Radish logo should have a parenthetical "we like bourbon here" by-line. By now you probably guessed correctly that I couldn't resist the opportunity to add a tiny bit here just to give the already earthy, nutty flavor a little hint of caramel and smoke.
So, my goal here is to ruin all of you as well. Heck, if I'm going down, I'm taking you all with me. And while I might come across as all sweetness and innocence, I have devious plans. If you haven't ever tried brown butter, then you're in for quite a treat, and if you have – then I'm surprised you're still sitting here and reading this post, instead of rushing to the kitchen to make this pound cake. Trust me – being ruined never felt so good.
Brown Butter Pound Cake
Adapted from Gourmet, October 2009
2 1/4 sticks unsalted butter
2 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising; sift before measuring)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tsp bourbon (of course, I did!)
1. Preheat oven to 325°F with rack in middle. Butter and lightly flour an 8 1/2- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
2. Heat butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until milk solids on bottom are a dark chocolate brown. Transfer to a shallow bowl and chill in freezer until just congealed, about 15 minutes.
3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Beat together brown butter and sugars with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and then the bourbon (!). At low speed, mix in flour mixture until just incorporated.
5. Transfer batter to pan, smoothing top, then rap pan on counter to settle batter. Bake until golden-brown and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Cool in pan 30 minutes, then invert cake onto a rack and cool completely, right side up, 1 hour.

Do you think this is fair

My SIL (DH's sister) has asked me to watch her kids during the summer while she is at work. She has a 5 and 8 year old. I get the impression that she wants me to do it for free, which is not happening. I am a stay at home mom to my 10, 7 and 4 year olds and I just found out I am pregnant again so having an extra 2 kids to cart around all summer would be an inconvenience. The biggest thing is I want to be take my kids out to do stuff like movies, the beach, water park things like that and I won't be able to afford to do as much if I also have to pay for my niece and nephew.
She wants my to watch them Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5:30 PM. I am thinking about telling her that I will do it for $120 a week if she will buy them both season passes for the water park (they are on special $150 for 2). She hasn't even talked about a price and like I said, I think she is wanting me to do it for free. Do you think the price I am asking is reasonable? This would include feeding them while they are with me breakfast and lunch and all activities except the water park passes which she will pay for.
$60 a week per kid including food is an amazing discounted price for childcare. She would be a fool to say no.
No way would I do it for free.

|• Greatest achievement: Luke's birth
|• Greatest disappointment: Not winning an Ivy League championship at Brown
|• Fantasy job: To own an NFL team
|• Executive most admired: Pete Rozelle
|• Business advice: Always remember where you came from.
To better learn the ins and outs of event operations in the mid-1990s, Donovan, while employed by an event management firm, worked the concession stand at New Haven's tennis tournament.
"I had to learn what it meant to operate an event," he said. "I distinctly remember selling beers to some of my college buddies from behind the counter.
"It was a humbling experience. Humbling because I went four years to an Ivy League school, worked as a management consultant and took a 48 percent pay cut to get my entry into sports, and one of the first projects I was on … I was working behind a beer counter."
For sure, Donovan has come out far from behind that beer counter. But the lesson he learned from stints like pouring beer, hanging banners and putting up backboards at the NBA's Slam Jam gave him insight into sports marketing that a lot of his brethren don't possess.
He knows what is possible and what is not, what can and cannot be promised to a sponsor, like whether a banner can be hung in a certain way or a sign can fit at a particular point of a venue.
"The salesperson's job is to create the successful partnership and get the deal done," Donovan said. "In some cases if you overpromise and can't deliver because of reality, it hurts the organization."
Donovan isn't working any beer stands at Lincoln Financial Field, home of his employer, the Philadelphia Eagles. No, he is far too busy these days.
He operates the entire Eagles business, from sponsorships, to booking concerts and other sporting events at Lincoln Financial, to the team's growing media assets.
"Mark will be going places," said Joe Leccese, a sports attorney with Proskauer Rose, which represents the Eagles. "People find he is easy to work with."
Donovan in many ways arrived at just the right time with the Eagles, getting to the team from the NFL league office 90 days before the Linc opened. The club took something of a flier on him. While he had a marketing background, he did not have experience running all aspects of a team's operations, from media to concert promotion.
Since his arrival, he has been responsible for the Eagles' national branding campaign, and also for tending to the backlash caused by the Terrell Owens "Monday Night Football" fiasco.
Donovan's group was not directly involved in the decision to place star receiver Owens in a pregame skit with a scantily clad actress from the hit ABC show "Desperate Housewives." (Whose decision it was is still somewhat a matter for debate.)
Donovan declined to comment on this aspect of his job, but clearly when the team's brand is attached to such a negative story, one might worry about sponsor backlash.
Sponsors, however, have not pulled out, and in some ways, the old PR adage that any news is good news may be helping Donovan's quest to make the Eagles a national brand.
Making the Super Bowl also will help as he positions the club for the future. Donovan already has opened an Eagles retail store in Lancaster, Pa., and will launch a kids TV show to target the elusive youth demographic.
"The success of this organization creates opportunity," he said. "While the outcome of the game was not what we had hoped for, we learned a lot from the experience and will be better for it. The effect on the business side has been extremely positive, notably the continued growth of our team's popularity on a national and international scale."

For Athens youths Rico Woods, Tawanna Nash and Teresa Smith, the color purple is symbolic of celebration.
And celebratory is how they felt Saturday, with purple ribbons draped about their necks as they took their long-awaited first steps into adulthood at a First Rites ceremony -- the final phase of their involvement in the local youth group Rites of Passage -- at the Athens-Clarke office of the state Division of Family and ChildrenServices.
Nash and Smith, both 18, and Woods, 19, took part in the First Rites ceremony in front of their family and friends in what Rites of Passage Coordinator Barbara Barnett called ''a solemn and spiritual event.''
''The (Rites of Passage) group gives them a sense of pride that they are somebody,'' said Barnett of the youth group that concentrates on educating African-American youths about their ancestral heritage. ''Our main goal in the group is cultural enrichment.
''... There's an African saying 'Go back and fetch,' and we believe we should go back and fetch our history. We honor the people that laid the foundation and paid a great price to do so. (Members) say (during First Rites) 'We will remember the humanity, glory and suffering of our ancestors, and honor the struggles of our elders.'''
Rites of Passage began seven years ago in Athens with members, ranging in age from 11-18, meeting almost every day. Because of difficulty with funding, the group had to cut back to meeting only on Saturdays but has still managed to create an atmosphere where members are confident enough to perform step-shows at local venues, including the Georgia Theatre last year.
Barnett, a victim advocate with the Western Circuit District Attorney's office who has been with the group almost since the beginning, said she was attracted to the program initially because of the ''Afrocentric'' concept.''
''I can trace my heritage back to my great, great, great, great, great-grandfather and that makes me feel really proud,'' she said, adding that her desire is to instill that same sense of pride in her charges.
''We are also a preventative program. We try to prevent these kids from re-entering the court system, (we try to) keep them away from drugs, keep them away from getting pregnant or getting someone else pregnant,'' she said.
The final step in the program is the First Rites ceremony, where members who have, according to Barnett, ''proven themselves'' through their attitudes and their abilities to peacefully resolve conflicts, are welcomed into adulthood.
For Woods, Nash and Smith, becoming adults is serious business, yet they eagerly await their futures.
''Before I came into this program, I was a little bit of a troublemaker,'' said Woods, who is poised to graduate from Cedar Shoals High School and holds down a job at Charlie Williams Pinecrest Lodge. ''If I hadn't joined ... I would just be sitting at home doing nothing.''
Nash and Smith, both of whom work at a local Wendy's Restaurant, are planning on college when they leave high school and see the First Rites ceremony as preparation.
''It's a big step,'' said Nash. ''Some of the things I would do before, I can't do after (First Rites). I have to step up and be an adult.''
For Smith, the program has taught her to come through her awkward teen-age years.
''I'm starting to come out of my shyness,'' she said.
Both girls agree that for all Rites of Passage is, the most important thing the group gave them is support.
''When you have that one person that never lets you down and believes in you, even when everyone else is saying negative, it just inspires you,'' said Nash.

A 14-year-old boy is in custody after police say he dropped a handgun on Michigan Avenue Wednesday.
The boy was arrested after officers noticed the gun drop to the median as he was crossing the street near Chicago Avenue, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The teen was charged with two counts of unlawful use of weapon and one count of unlawful possession, according to the Cook County Attorney's Office.
He will be held in detention until his trial later this month.

Linda McKee: Some statistics from the weekend deluge
Between 60mm and 80mm of rain fell in a space of 12 hours. Many of Northern Ireland's rivers clocked up the highest flows since records began between 30 and 50 years ago.
Northern Ireland Water answered 3,500 calls at the weekend and completed around 1,000 jobs — at one stage answering a call every 10 seconds. Roads Service had 200 workers on the ground dealing with incidents, plus almost 100 vehicles in action.
Six pumping stations and three or four sewage treatment works were inundated. More than 120 roads closed at the peak of the floods. Several bridges were damaged. A road collapse damaged a water main, interrupting fresh water supplies. And the Broadway underpass filled with 50,000 cubic metres of water in just 45 minutes.
These figures all emerged yesterday when the Regional Development Committee called in representatives from the Roads Service, Northern Ireland Water and the Rivers Agency to find out what exactly went wrong.
All three said that soon after the severe weather warning came in from the Met Office last Friday, they joined in a conference call organised by Belfast City Council and including the PSNI, Fire Service, NIE and other agencies to co-ordinate the inter-agency response to the impending crisis.
The terse response from committee chair Fred Cobain? "It didn't happen. I was on the ground on Saturday and Sunday and it didn't happen. There was no co-ordination with any of the other agencies. Without public representatives there would have been no co-ordination."
It was a theme that emerged over and over again. Although the agencies described putting on more staff to deal with emergency calls from the public, the reports kept coming from exasperated committee members of panicked householders phoning agencies to find the line was dead or to be told that it was the responsibility of another agency.
Committee deputy chairman Jim Wells expressed shock that motorists were still able to drive into the Westlink underpass on Saturday afternoon even when the waters had risen to as much as two metres above the bottom of the basin.
And member George Robinson told his own personal story of driving through the tunnel shortly after 4pm on Saturday, just when the waters were beginning to rise in earnest. At that point it was down to one lane of traffic, yet no-one had cordoned off the road.
"I thought the underpass should have been closed then," he said.
"As soon as I got to Lisburn I phoned the emergency services to alert them but there was no answer from anyone but the police and they said it was responsibility of the Roads Service. I thought that should have been a priority because of the possibility of the loss of life."
But the fear is that once the issue goes off the media boil, it will quietly be pushed to the back of the shelf as other more pressing priorities come along. Memories can be short for those who weren't directly affected.
This isn't the first major flooding incident ever to happen in Northern Ireland and yet it doesn't seem as though we've revamped our flood response substantially since the last time.
Committee members asked why they haven't heard much since the Executive ordered an action plan to be drawn up following the last incident. According to Roads Service, they have done what they were asked to in the plan — carried out a review of how they responded last time — and were satisfied with the results.
All this, while the agencies regularly get together to carry out emergency planning exercises to simulate the aftermath of a plane crash at George Best Belfast City Airport, he said. The health and agriculture sectors, too, seem more on the ball, with regular contingency exercises to simulate avian influenza and foot-and-mouth outbreaks.

Kimpton Hotels Rolls Out New Yoga Amenities
In-Room Yoga Mats and Fun "Roll-Out Service" Inspires Fitness on the Road
Apr 23, 2013, 09:55 ET from Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning April 23, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants will roll out a convenient new way to help guests feel great on the road. Newly custom-designed Gaiam yoga mats with a playful butterfly motif will now be stocked in every guest-room closet and available for use at no charge whenever the itch for a stretch, pose or plank may strike.

Kimpton also is helping to remove obstacles to getting in a little healthy activity while on the road, with a new complimentary "Roll-Out Service." Upon request of the service, Kimpton will come to the guest's room, meticulously roll out the mat and furnish extra towels, flavored water, an assortment of fresh fruit or an energizing mix of dried fruit and nuts, and set the TV to Kimpton's complimentary on-demand yoga or Pilates channel for inspiration.
"We know that some travel – particularly for business – can suck the life out of you. Our point of view is that it doesn't have to, so we're making it easy for our guests to work in some restorative activity," said Mike DeFrino, executive vice president of hotel operations at Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. "We're not yoga experts. Some of us can't even touch our toes. But we think that incorporating exercise in the form of something like stretches or pushups are a good idea on the road. If a guest rolls out the mat and decides to take a nap or have a glass of wine and watch TV, no judgment from us."
To introduce guests to the new in-room yoga mat offering, Kimpton hotels across the country will invite guests to participate in yoga-centric activities – from pose challenges to trivia triumphs – during its popular hosted evening Wine Hour, April 23 – May 3.
Kimpton will couple these fun activities with a "Strike a Pose" sweepstakes contest on Kimpton's Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/Kimpton). From May 1 – May 31, guests and fans of Kimpton are invited to snap a picture of them striking a unique or humorous pose that might reflect the ways they like to live life and post it to Kimpton's Facebook page. Those voted as having the best poses will win a relaxing getaway at any Kimpton hotel nationwide among other prizes, including yoga mats.
The in-room mat adds to a long line-up of amenities Kimpton offers to help guests feel their best away from home. Other wellness-minded perks include complimentary 24-hour yoga and Pilates programming on demand, complimentary bikes, weighted work-out hula hoops and jump ropes in Kimpton fitness centers, employee-led runs through town, group exercise classes and more. Kimpton's approach to wellness also extends beyond the physical aspects of fitness to other forms of feel-good activity. The company also encourages guests to socialize at Wine Hour, travel with pets as often as possible or request a goldfish companion during your stay,

I love it when they show up and see me for the first time. Not only am I old, but I a big old biker looking dude. (See my photo over on the Faceybook link on my profile)
I have even had a model message me, I think your Facebook link is messed up, its some old biker dude.....LOL, yes that is me.
In all seriousness, I find that models, after working with me, understand that I can bring experience, gained only with age, to a shoot.....

Apparently it matters to some models.
Several months ago a photographer (considered by many to be one of the best if not *the* best artistic nude photographer on MM), who I believe in his 70's, received an email from an 18-year-old model informing him that he's too old to shoot nudes.
I won't name him, because that might be considered outing - but he did an amusing forum post on the subject.

I wasn't as skilled as an artist when I was much younger. Because models usually get some artwork to take with them when they pose for me, it's to their advantage to be willing to work with someone with some "seasoning."
i'm pretty astute in gauging reactions on first meeting someone, and I don't think I've ever noticed a "Hey, Pops!" look on anyone's face when a model comes to my studio for the first time.
And although I'm loath to admit it, the occasional naked hug from a model keeps me believing I'm not ready for the pasture just yet.

Here - for models, not at all.
For a retail client, a 48 years old guy has an uphill battle with preconceived ideas (except established photographers). Age and sex influence strongly jobs you can (not lol) book.
Recent scandal involving an (now dead) ex-photographer does not help.

Age of photographer -- does that matter?
Age is just a number. The questions that should be asked are...
1. Are they proficient with their equipment (both camera and lighting)?
2. Can they edit images with quality results?
3. Do they have a studio? (not a necessity but definitely a benefit)
4. Are they able-bodied enough to hike and endour extreme locations?
5. Are they inventive enough to create unique, exciting and artistically cool images?
If the answer to all of these are YES... book that supershooter!...

The vast majority of models could not care less. Its the quality of work that attracts them and reputation as being professional!!!!

I'm 47 but run with the geek portion of the brain of a 30 yr old.
I think it helps being a bit older for a few reasons....
I'm less of a threat to the 22 yr old bf's out there
I'm old enough to always think with the proper head.
I've seen more naked women than most doctors and am sufficiently desensitized.
But at the same time as you age you appreciate the art and beauty that is the female form and for art's sake. I am not remotely interested in a romantic encounter with someone young enough to be my kid. I become friends with most models I shoot. At the same time my BS detector is finely tuned and I have little time for crap.
I survived cancer and three brain aneurysms.....all I see now is beauty and my job as a photographer is to capture what I see in my mind and make it digital.

I have no interest in dating a photographer, so his/her age is of no importance to me.
I should also mention that I've worked with young photographers who were amazing and older photographers who sucked, and vice versa. Everyone's different.

Be polite and professional and all people should feel comfortable with you. If they don't, that says more about them than it does about you. There is a saying, "what other people think about me is none of my business." Go by it and you'll always feel ok about yourself and others.

Like everything else, a photographer's age does matter. The extent to which it matters, depends. Assuming no separate art director on the shoot, if the desired look calls for some sexual undercurrent, it is between the photographer and the model to create the level of sexual energy needed.
An experienced model with a substantial acting talent can make up for the photographer's shortcoming in this regard. However what is often seen on MM are well-conceived, well-exposed concepts, but the models' expressions aren't carrying the look. They look either vacant or uncomfortable in their own skin.
One of the culprits may be, for amateur work with no particular objective or benchmark, people just don't care for the expression; another is, with no male in the room who the model considers sexually viable, it is hard for her to get the level of energy (incl. sexual) and moral support to completely own / carry / sell the look, the pose, the point of the shoot.

Steve VanDenHanenberg of the Red Scarf Union a organized Ottawa Senators fan group who often occupy section 319 at home games is fed up with Leaf Nation drowning out the cheers of the Sens Army in its own barn.
Its time for people to step up, he says. Throw their inhibitions to the side for a couple of hours.
According to the estimations of Sens president Cyril Leeder, there will be about 6,000 Leafs fans in the stands Saturday night. Thats not even half the crowd, but as usual theyre likely to be the ones most clearly heard.
Theyre unruly, arrogant, boorish blowhards, says VanDenHanenberg.

Wikis > Dictionary of Islam > Abstinence
ABSTINENCE. Arabic Taqwa تقوا Is very frequently enjoined in the Qur'an. The word generally applies to abstinence from idolatry in the first instance but it is used to express a life of piety. An excessive abstinence and a life of asceticism are condemned in the Qur'an, and the Christians are charged with the invention of the monastic life. (Surah lvii. 27.) "As for the monastic life, they invented it themselves." [MONASTICISM, FASTING.]

You to the Rescue
Avshalom Vilen had to be summoned from the cafeteria for the vote. He arrived, joined the only other two committee members who had shown up - Tzachi Hanegbi and Efi Eitam, and raised his hand to vote Aye for the 2007 defense budget.
Well, who needs more than three Knesset members to pass the national budget. It's a lousy NIS 50 billion. A piddling matter to our elected representatives. Pocket change.
Eitam, a general in reserves, told the committee that the NIS 50 billion defense budget was too small. His position is little surprise: he's probably among the clique who think the taxpayer is to blame for the fiasco in the Lebanese war, for not pulling its weight in the war effort over the years.
Academician and Knesset member Avishay Braverman, who ardently supported defense budget cuts before the elections, didn't show up for the vote. Neither did Eli Aflalo, Amira Dotan, Matan Vilnai, Amnon Cohen, Stas Misezhnikov, or Yuval Steinitz.
Well, to be fair, it was a deadly boring discussion on a hopelessly unsexy topic. The defense budget. Who has the strength for such nonsense. The gang agreed on the qt that if and when there is discussion on whether or not to hold talks with Assad, they'd all show up and give the TV channels a good angle and sound-bites.
If you the taxpayer are horrified that only three Knesset members troubled to show up for the debate on the biggest and most important section of the national budget - down boy, relax. The Knesset usually eschews lengthy debate on weighty economic matters.
Take the piffling issue of non-contributory pensions, which are pensions that you the taxpayer pay in full, and to which the recipients, government workers, pay nothing.
No, don't click "Back". Keep reading. I know that "non-contributory pensions" are instant soporifics. Hang on there. Believe me, it really, really matters to you. The debt is between NIS 300 billion to NIS 400 billion, depending on who's counting and how, and you the taxpayer have to foot the bill, in full.
Yesterday we explained in our column, "Seven simple financial suggestions", , that because of the way the world has changed, nobody is assuring you of a respectable pension, unless you're a government servant with a noncontributory pension. Everybody else has been tossed out into the cruel world of the open market, and you'd better digest that news fast.
The bad news, the worse news, and the even worse news
That is the bad news. The worse news is that the pension you'll need is much bigger than you think, because life expectancies are soaring and the costs of healthcare are too.
And there is even worse news. There's a good change that in ten years, or 30, you'll have to finance THREE pensions in order to get ONE.
1. Your present one: the 18% of your salary that you and your employer put aside to assure your future when you can't work any more.
2. Your tax payments, to pay for the public sector non-contributory pensions for state workers who set aside not a sou of their salaries. Nor does the state. You do, through your tax.
3. The tax you will pay in the future to finance the elephantine deficits under the Histadrut pension funds arrangement. Remember that arrangement? From time to time Benjamin Netanyahu boasts that he'd "saved these pension funds. Um, you're going to, though.
You'd better be good at digging
Yes, the reform of the pension funds was a screaming necessity, and Netanyahu deserves full credit for it. But in practice, their yawning actuarial deficit is being zeroed by the simple move of cutting pensioners' benefits by 25% to 25%, and having the taxpayers fill in the remaining hole over 30 years.
Now let's look at figures. Hang on, reader.
The cost of the non-contributory pensions and the pension funds arrangement will be NIS 12 billion in 2007.
But that's nothing. Within 15 years that cost will double, and possibly triple, because the pensions are not linked to the CPI or to the average wage: they are linked to actual salaries by active workers, and when economic times are booming, they skyrocket.
Each year as the treasury officials prepare a budget for the next year, the first bill they present the taxpayers is the interest on the national debt. That's NIS 40 billion this year.
The news is that in 15 or 20 years, you're going to get billed about the same amount for pensions of state workers who never paid one cent into a pension fund.
What are the exact figures? How many pensions are we going to have to pay for, out of our own pocket, in ten or 20 years, in order to get one single pension for ourselves?
We don't know. As far as we know the Finance Ministry has never tried to do the math, of what burden it's passing onto our children based on budget decisions made yesterday and today.
The Knesset, believe it or not, maintains a whole division that supposed to do analyses like that. It's called The Commissioner of the Next Generations.
We looked on the Knesset website to see what the Commish has to say about it, and saw the following on page 76 (Hebrew site): "The Commissioner of the Next Generations has a goal of studying and developing the issue of national intergenerational accounts during the Knesset's next term, in order to evaluate the actual economic damage that may be caused to future generations because of irregular government spending in the present."
To the best of our recollection, The Commissioner of the Next Generations was established five years ago, but it hasn't had a chance to address that trifling matter of what was it NIS 300 billion or NIS 400 billion that noncontributory pensions are going to slip onto the shoulders of our children. But you see with your own eyes: its intentions are good. They think they should address the matter, some time in the future.

text: Posted January 27, 2013 · Report post Long story short: I had a really tiny zit that I wanted out of my face. I squeezed and squeezed and in the end, the zit was still there, but I was missing basically the layer of skin that was on top of it before. So now I have this red circle on my nose (it's not huge or deep. maybe 1/2 cm across.) where there's no top layer of skin. About 30 min ago, I put vitamin E cream on it, and then just put a band-aid on top. I googled for solutions, and everyone recommended Neosporin, which I don't have. Basically my options are vitamin E cream, tea tree oil, Jergens moisturizer, Duac gel, and assorted benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid treatments. What do you recommend I do? I need it to heal (preferably without scabbing over, because that whole part takes forever) as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning would be great, Tuesday morning is necessary, and if it's still there on Wednesday, I might cry. HELP ME. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Social Question
Why do people believe the Bible?
I've read most of the Old Testament, and I'm just starting on the New for the first time. Now, as far as history goes, the New Testament was okayed and published by the Church about 300 years AD (and many other sources say that AD was different as well, that Christ lived and wasn't a god or his true son).
Let me clarify. This question isn't about dogma or karma, or whether people believe or disbelieve. If you look closely it is about WHY one believes. I would say I believe in God because it helps me pray for the things I wish to manifest in my life. But, I believe in Jesus Christ because he was a leader of the people, and also that Christ does not mean specifically one person in history. There have been many in history, in most countries, in much of the world we know and study that have embodied "Christ".
So, would you please keep your answers towards WHY you believe in the bible, or WHY don't you. I don't really care whether you believe it's true.

A new smartphone app released last month is to provide a lifeline for those in crisis by putting them in touch with support agencies.
The suicide prevention app Here2help, which is available to buy on the Apple and Google Play stores, was developed by local men Noel McKee and Jack Creighton.
The software carries a direct link to a number of support organisations including Lifeline, Childline, Women's Aid, the Samaritans, the Simon Community and FASA (Forum For Action On Substance Abuse).
Details of the free app were outlined to members of the public at a meeting of Carrickfergus Policing and Community Safety Partnership on Thursday evening.
Whitehead man Noel, who runs a counselling service based at Kilroot, said the idea for the app came about after a number of deaths by suicide in the local area.
He explained: "Myself and Jack wanted to do something about this; we talked about all the usual things like a leaflet drop or handing out cards, but we realised there was actually a real need for a crisis support app.
"We had a look and couldn't find anything similar already available, so we came up with the idea of an app that would directly contact the agencies for you.
"The idea is that if you are in a crisis and need help, you aren't going to go looking for a card or a leaflet; you need something that's very accessible and quick to get you help."
The software is designed to directly dial the chosen support agency through the touch of a button, with a separate button linking users to a community directory for further support through agencies such as the NSPCC or Cruse Bereavement Care.
Here2help was financed entirely through a number of fundraising events held at Ownies bar in Carrickfergus over the past year.
Although it is due to be officially launched at a Stormont event in May, the app has already seen hundreds of downloads since it went live at the beginning of February.
"What we need now is to start getting feedback and spread the word so that we get thousands of people to download the app.
"We want people to have it on their phones in case they or someone else needs it. The next step after that will be to create an online library of support services," Noel added.
"I deal quite a lot with survivors of suicide; that is, the people and families who are left behind who are often dealing with so much guilt and heartache.
"Essentially this is a suicide prevention app and although the suicide rate in Carrickfergus is not as high as it is in some other areas of Northern Ireland, even one suicide is one too many."
Speaking after last Thursday night's meeting, PCSP chair Councillor Andrew Wilson said the app was a "valuable tool" in making the community aware of what help is available to them.

The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, shows an increased risk of death in older women who dutifully take a multivitamin, vitamin B6, folic acid, iron, magnesium, zinc, or copper supplement each day. Many older women take these substances in the hopes of preventing chronic disease, but over the years, women who took these vitamins and supplements were actually more likely to die of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other causes.

ROYAL OAK, Mich. (WZZM) -- For the past two months, 12-year-old Charlotte Ponce has been growing an ear — one shaped from cartilage around her ribs — on her right forearm.
This week, a decade after a pet raccoon mauled her face as she lay in her crib, the Spring Lake girl will have the new ear extracted from her arm and attached to the side of her head in the last of a series of major surgeries to rebuild much of her face.
Taking a break from her doll, Carly, she unwrapped the bandage around her arm Wednesday at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak — something she's used to doing these days for those who ask.
"You can definitely see the shape of an ear in there," said her mother, Sharon Ponce.
Charlotte and her parents, who have three other children as well, made the three-hour drive from west Michigan on Wednesday morning for what most likely will be a 10-day stay in Royal Oak.
The pet raccoon had climbed into infant Charlotte's crib for a bottle that had been left with the baby, said Sharon Ponce. Most likely, the milk had trickled down the baby's face, Ponce said.
"The pet raccoon got into the house, and she had a bottle propped up in her mouth. And we assume that the raccoon was after the milk, because it ate her nose all the way back to her ear," she said.
"She was lucky to survive," she added.
Ponce, 54, and her husband, Tim, 63, a factory worker, gained custody of the infant after the attack. The state terminated the biological parents' rights.
The Ponces said they've lost track of all the surgeries, some of which have been to reduce scar tissue.
Already, Charlotte's nose was rebuilt with skin from her arm and forehead as well as cartilage from her ribs. Her cheeks were reshaped with fat from her abdomen, and her upper lip was repaired with tissue from her lower lip.
The latest procedure — this one to replace the ear destroyed in the attack — began in April when Dr. Kongkrit Chaiyasate, a plastic surgeon at Beaumont, removed cartilage that connects Charlotte's ribs to her sternum.
He reshaped the malleable tissue into a roughly C-shaped framework of an ear, then inserted it under the skin of her arm in hopes that the skin would mold over and around the cartilage framework.
On Thursday, Chaiyasate will extract it from her arm, and the framework and skin will be attached together to the side of her head. The skin that is then missing from her arm will be replaced with a skin graft, most likely from her groin area.
The surgery is expected to last six to eight hours, and the Ponces plan to stay near the hospital so Chaiyasate can monitor the healing process.
The plastic surgeon also will connect vessels that will carry oxygen-carrying blood to the site.
"We do the plumbing work so the new ear stays alive," he said. "It's all about the circulation."
Because Charlotte can already hear through a hole where her ear used to be, the latest procedure is more to "restore form and function" — so she'll be able to wear glasses if she needs to, for example, Chaiyasate said.
Though plastic surgeons have repaired or constructed portions of ears previously, this surgery is rare in that both the skin and the framework of the ear had to be rebuilt. Thick, gnarled scar tissue from the raccoon attack would not support a new ear on its own, Chaiyasate said.
On a nearby hospital bed Wednesday, Charlotte was dressing and redressing her doll, fidgeting and then flopping over the bed — apparently unfazed by reporters and hospital staff that were there for her arrival.
Last year, there were six surgeries to rebuild her nose.
From now on, any surgeries would be minor in comparison — most likely as her face changes through normal aging. They will further smooth out scarring, Chaiyasate said.
The Ponces were impressed by Chaiyasate the first day they they met him in 2012, Sharon Ponce said as Tim Ponce shook his head in agreement.
The doctor sat on a doctor's stool and, rolling up to Charlotte, he asked her what she wanted. Her parents were stunned when the normally shy girl began talking with him so freely, her mother said.
"He said 'I can build you a nose.' And we said 'What about an ear?' He said 'I can build you an ear,' " Charlotte Ponce said.
The transformation has been "absolutely awesome," she added.
Charlotte's friends have seen the ear under her skin, although Sharon Ponce tries to keep it bandaged so that Charlotte is reminded to be careful with it.
"They just say, 'Wow, that's cool,' " Charlotte said.
She's already planning to wear a "high pony tail" more often, said Charlotte, who with her friends likes to play with each other's hair. She wants to be a beautician one day, she said. For now, she'll try to heal fast so she can return to gymnastics.
She already has earrings, some donated by Chaiyasate's other patients who had heard about her story.
One pair — among her favorites — are tiny roses. Her middle name is Rose.

A while ago, I had written about the narratives of our lives, a look at various narratives across time – from religions and nations to popular culture and brands to the internet – that have (arguably) tried to fulfill our sense of belonging. All the narratives I had considered were external in nature, though they might be dictated by our choices and preferences.
An excellent comment on the post by The Lit Room made me consider 'the narrative of individual imagination'. As I answered, it is probably the most important one, as it takes all sorts of external stimuli, and converts it into a unique stream of consciousness. Just when I began thinking of writing a follow up post by including that aspect, I was reintroduced, thanks to Devdutt Pattanaik's Sita, to the concept of 'aham brahmasmi' – "every human creates his own imagined version of the world, and of himself. Every human is therefore Brahma, creator of his own aham". I think it is impossible to crack everything that goes into the making of one's own consciousness, which is probably what led to
(image via)
But there are at least a couple of perspectives that the book provides in terms of how one can create an ideal 'world' for oneself. It says, "stay true to the idea of dharma. Be the best you can be, in the worst of circumstances, even when no one is watching." I thought a bit about what actually drives our actions, and realised that at the bottom of it is fear. (debatable) Not just one fear, but many, many fears driven by our contexts – some we acknowledge, some we don't. George Lucas probably figured it out earlier, (see) though we might travel paths different from what Yoda has suggested. The book also states that – Fear is a constant, and faith is a choice. Fear comes from karma, from faith arises dharma. Faith in what, was the next thing I pondered over. In oneself, and a moral code that one adheres to? Or a higher power/cosmic law that governs all that happens? Or is it just a mechanical process with the fittest surviving? There are more options as well, probably, but I like to go with the first, because in the world that I create, my actions can ensure I do not have to fear.
Meanwhile, also from the book – Shiva chooses the path of asceticism and self control to control the aham, and the world it creates. Vishnu chose to live amidst materialism and yet find a way to break free – a middle path. (now I can see why Buddha is assumed to be a form of Vishnu) I think there are several degrees to choose from, and there lies the challenge. I also realise that it if each of us are creating our own worlds, we cannot really answer the questions of the world at large – a universal answer – because it is an aggregate of each of our worlds, which are different from each other and have unique rules. We can only find the answers to our own world, and through our individual paths, find our own version of the answer to the purpose of life.
until next time, muddled path

Barrow County Superior Court Judge David Motes denied a request to remove fellow Judge Currie Mingledorff from the arson case of Maurice Arnold, who is accused of torching his father's church in 2005.
Arnold's attorney, Jim Smith, asked to remove Mingledorff, arguing he had shown bias when he delayed a ruling on whether Arnold could withdraw a previous guilty plea in the case. Motes, the senior judge in Barrow County, ruled Friday that there is no reason to remove Mingledorff.
Arnold is charged with two counts of first-degree arson and single counts of conspiracy to commit a crime and vandalism to a place of worship in the Dec. 7, 2005, fire at New Life Deliverance Church. Arnold's father, church pastor Quincy Arnold, faces arson and insurance fraud charges.

In 1994, in response to a request by senior U.S. policy makers, the State Failure (now Political Instability) Task Force was established to design and carry out a data-driven study of the preconditions of state failure. "Failure" was defined to include ethnic and revolutionary wars, adverse or disruptive regime transitions, and genocides and politicides.
In 1998, in response to President Clinton's policy initiative on genocide early warning and prevention, Barbara Harff, a senior consultant with the Task Force, was asked to design and carry out a study that would use her own and other data sources to establish an empirically and theoretically-grounded, data-based system for risk assessment of genocidal violence. The results of this effort have been described in detail in various Task Force reports and in Barbara Harff's article, "No Lessons Learned from the Holocaust? Assessing Risks of Genocide and Political Mass Murder since 1955," American Political Science Reivew, vol. 97, no. 1 (February 2003), pp. 57-73. The six factors identified in the initial structural model made it possible to distinguish with a high degree of accuracy between countries in failure at any time between 1955 and 1997 that had genocides or politicides and those that did not.
The model was used in the above article to identify and rank the risks of genocide and politicide in countries with armed conflict in 2001. The risk list has been updated for subsequent years using new data on the risk factors. The 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013 and the 2015 updates are posted on this website. They use somewhat different procedures for weighing the data and assessing risks, as explained in the notes to each list. The US government continues to employ the original and modified statistical models to prepare more precise risk assessments for government use only.

It's not often we cover commercials here over at TV Blend, but then again, it's not often a single commercial can divide so many people. Lebron James, the self-anointed king and brand new member of the Miami Heat, just came out with a shiny new Nike commercial, and it is, well, it can represent a lot of different things based on your viewpoint. Slick, fast-paced and probably expensive, the new spot runs at more than a minute and a half and is chock-full of provacative statements and perhaps more importantly, a Don Johnson cameo.
I loved it upon first viewing, but the more I break it down, the more I think he might be throwing the middle finger up. Is he mocking us? Or is he desperately trying to win back our approval? Is he embracing this new villain role or is he poking fun at it because it hurts? Lebron James is a lot of things to a lot of different people, and this commercial sure as hell won't bring either side together anytime soon.

US security hassles extend beyond airlines
At O'Brien's Grille & Pub, in the heart of Pittsburgh International Airport, they no longer serve prime rib steak.
Rather, due to its location, within the secured area of Pittsburgh's state-of-the-art airport, O'Brien's is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to remove all metal knives from customer-accessible areas.
"Since 11 September - because of the terrorist attacks - we no longer serve the prime rib," says Stephanie, a waitress at O'Brien's.
After all, what's a nice slab of prime rib without a knife to cut it?
Steak lovers beware
Stephanie adds that if patrons order the Delmonico steak or the house special Gaelic Steak - a 10 ounce New York Strip steak served with whiskey sauce - the chef will pre-cut their steak in the kitchen prior to it being served.
It is the sort of clearly visible - albeit subtle - change American travellers have had to endure since 11 September.
Long lines to get through security check points at airports are now all too regular across the United States.
From head to foot
In addition, the antics of Richard Reid, who tried to ignite a bomb hidden in the heel of his shoes on an American Airlines flight last month, now require some flyers to remove footwear for inspection as they pass through metal detectors.
It is the sort of hassle that has travellers shrugging their shoulders in resignation even as they complain bitterly about the nuisance.
US flyers are having their patience pushed, and the scrutiny can sometimes be doubly tedious given the vastness of the United States.
Thanks to airline deregulation, airports here operate on what is called a hub-and-spoke system, in which passengers at smaller airports pass through larger "hub" airports en route to their destination.
Tight security
That means two and sometimes three layovers for some flyers - and just as many security checks.
At airport gates throughout the US, security personnel - at least one male and one female - descend upon waiting travellers, moments before a flight is to be boarded, to perform ad hoc searches.
Armed with metal-detecting wands, the inspectors, at random, select passengers for inspection as they ready themselves to board their flight.
It is these sort of hassles that are perhaps the reason the handsome oak bar at O'Brien's is filled with travellers consoling themselves with pints of ale and glasses of scotch.
Just next to the bar, a queue of hungry tourists await tables.
They might want to try the salmon - less knife leverage required.

Getting Something from Nothing: An Investigation of Beef Demand Expansion and Substitution
A relative increase in demand for one type of beef can have one of two potentially countervailing effects: it can cause substitution of one type for another and/or it might expand overall demand. The results of a random parameters logit analysis indicate that regardless of whether USDA Choice or upgraded steak demand increases, the expansion effect dominates the substitution effect. We also show that, for our sample of consumers, the introduction of a new "natural" steak causes a greater reduction in market share for USDA Choice beef than ungraded beef. Despite this result, however, overall steak demand increases. Copyright 2009, Oxford University Press.

text: Good Afternoon smokers! I'm going into my 3rd year of smoking meats. I'm pretty savvy with the grill but still a novice with smoking. I know the basics, soaking the wood, time to weight ratios, what types of woods work best with types of meats. . . and so on. I'm still lacking in the creation of fire and smoke however. I just don't feel like I'm doing it right. I have a $50 HomeDepot Vertical can that most people probably star on or swear by. This is basically my process. I know I got get more serious to get better results but i'll break it down here. 1. I fill a Charcoal Stack with coals. No Lighter fluid. 2. I dump the coals in the bottom dish of the smoker. 3. I drop some dry wood chunks on top, they catch and I let the fire die before putting the meat on. I don't know if this is a recommended method because the fire can get pretty roaring. 4. set the bottom try. place a H20 Pan on it. 5. Set the meat on the very top. Close it.. and let nature take its course. I do add soaked wood chunks during the first half of the process. I've read too much wet wood makes too much smoke and can really taint the final product. Also, I don't have a reliable thermometer. . at all. Honestly I use the built in job and if I'm in the "ideal" range. .then I'm satisfied. Yes.. .not good. That's my style. I like to let things come together naturally. I'm not into gadgets and new fangled electronic devices, however I do realize I need a thermometer upgrade. But more specifically I need help with the heat source. What should I be doing different? How do you keep it steady? More wood? Charcoal at all? Thanks in advance guys and gals!!

The brawn of boxing and the brains of chess? Yeah, why not. It seems like an awesome, albeit time-consuming sport and maybe a little bit messy or like something we'd see in Game of Thrones, but we can get behind it.
Like far behind it, in the corner, where we don't have to be called on for chess advice or accidentally get hit. JACK FM has neither brains nor brawn.
