Oh BTW I got that backwards...TEAR OF BLOOD I think is the better of the two. Esp for the intel.
eh go for it, treat yourself and get the trinket. Youve been collecting slow VPs this long you deserve something. When you get into raids VPs will come much more quickly and THEN you can decide what to start saving for. The ring is a good idea as well since you can use it in both healing and dps specs.
Flash heal is great and all but its an emergency heal imo. You may be able to use it now, but if you get into the habit of using it, youll find yourself having to change up what youre doing now. I cast heal ALOT. Its my main spell. Every now and then ill toss in a flash heal or two, proc the faster heal on Greater Heal, use it and go back to Heal.
Seriously tho if youre spamming flash with no issues then youve got some great regen. Just dont get used to it.
Also the star trinket is nice, however I found that the Blood of Isiet and then Tear of Blood were two of the greatest trinkets ever. I would work on getting both of those into your slots while youre trying to get the VP trinket. Blood of Isiet is just badass (for the level of course)
Oh BTW I got that backwards...TEAR OF BLOOD I think is the better of the two. Esp for the intel.
Awesome thanks!!! Yeah my regen isnt bad at all right now, i still have mana left at the end of boss fights in the new heroics which is good unless its a horrible grp then i find myself having to use my fiend and hymn of hope. I got the darkmoon intell card and still using the sea star unless i find a better upgrade, my healing rotation now is bubble of course (since mana is so high on it the only person that gets it is tank or if im doing the bear boss in za then whoever is fixing to take the hit gets it cause it causes no damage to be taken i love that) prayer of mending my penance then my flash of heal or greater healer with i use inner focus, i also use my prayer of healing with power infusion and i got love that, specialy since now it gives divine ageis to everyone that it heals. I'm def loving my priest again since i have gotten better gear and my rotation is a lot nicer there for a while 1 trash pull would put me oom and i think my regen is over 2k in combat maybe 2400ish i dont think thats to awful
My general advice to healers with problems is to keep in mind that healing and tanking changed since Wotlk. In wotlk healers were used to spam their strongest, fastest heal to top everyone off asap, or they would die. In cata increased health pools and lower mana regeneration suggests healers are meant to use the health buffer of their tanks/raid. Your not supposed to top the tank off as soon as he takes 30K dmg. go casting a cheap heal and use CDs every now and then to keep everyone up. Atm i can keep a tank up in ZA/ZG just spamming heal and using flash heal only when it procs (im holy, thats a 6% chance or so).
Flash heal is a emergency spell at best, at least for holy priests.
So really. With my gear in the 356 range, is 9k avg HPS with around %20 overhealing at all decent? I thought so until recently, and im starting to doubt my abilities at this point. Ive been through BWD and BoT a few times, most recently without anyone dying after the encounter (except Chim of course) I always need inervates and mana totems...still. I did think all this was semi normal for Holy.
Odd thing is I can pull 13k numbers on Chim and still have the same if not easier time holding mana than other fights,
And to Aresius. In raids its one thing, but I tend to lose too many DKs to crazy damage spikes to let them anywhere near %75 HP in 5 man runs. >_<

|Hornby Island. Old cedar shingles that have protected inhabitants from many a winter's rain. 'Homegrown' grave marker. Unique stump end building method used on the Hornby Community Hall.
|With mountain biking on the rise in the late 80's and early 90's there was one standout event in BC and that was the Hornby Island Bike Fest, truly an event and location ahead of its time. Tig Cross was the driving force behind this event and it was his posse and friends that started the trails on Hornby. We can see now that the length and sustainability of those trails and Hornby Island as a riding destination took time to build - this mature, developed trail network is Tig's legacy and gift to those that are coming now to mountain biking and it all began over three decades ago. Tig is an avid cyclist, a competitive trials rider, and continued on to do race timing for another decade. He is a force to be reckoned with and a big reason why the mountain biking in BC is as strong as it is! - Andreas Hestler - Canadian Olympian, singletrack hound, Co-founder BC Bike Race, Rocky Mountain Athlete
|I was driving my 76 Westfalia van, I was 16 years old on my first mountain bike trip to Hornby. I rode a Yeti Pro Fro. I raced the DH, the DS, and the XC all on the same bike at least one of those years. The Dual was easily the most fun thing to ride, as it had arcing BMX-style berms, was buff, and had jumps. Funny to think, but most courses back then didn't have jumps, or berms, just gates. One race I lost my shoe, and was so far ahead of the other guy, I stopped, looped back up, put it in my mouth, and still beat the kid by a pedals length. You had to hike your bike up the same trail that was the downhill, and it was a pedal fest, but was quite fast with a rad tech section. The pedalers always won. There was a music fest every year, and we camped, and had a blast. I brought a high school jock friend of mine with me, a top soccer player from England, and he was not down with hippies, that made for a bit of a juxtaposed weekend. It was around that time that I knew I wanted to become a rider. My parents came over a few times to watch, my mom liked the island life, and my dad liked to tinker on my bikes at races. Good thing, my van broke down there once for a night, but my dad was able to get it up and running in no tome. Some locals helped us. To this day, that place is magic. Trails like No Horses are dream tracks. - Dave Watson - Canadian Freeride and DH Pioneer and Founder of Sombrio Clothing
|My family has a cabin on Hornby Island and that is where I used to spend most of my summers, got hooked on mountain biking, and it is still my favourite place in the world to ride. Also where I ran into Tig, Sasha, and the rest of the characters over there when I was just a kid riding around in jean shorts and wool socks. I wish I could get back there more in the summer because it is such a special place. I am always blown away by how few people I see on the trails there. I remember Hornby Island being a total epicenter for mountain biking when I started riding in the early 90's and it was all based around Tig's property in the center of the island. The legendary Bike Fest weekend which took place there had racing, concerts, camping, and good times that almost got too popular for the small island. I really wish there was more events like it these days. The already amazing trails were immaculately prepped, even swept with a broom, for the weekend and the XC finished down the legendary bobsled-like No Horses trail right to Tig's farm. Out back on the property there was a big bermed dual slalom course and one of the big events at that time was Trials. I think Tig was really one of the pioneers of Trials and I have images in my head of him hopping around on his one-piece monocoque Trimble frame. Tig would also make it out for the flat out DH race down from the summit of Mt. Geoffrey. A couple years ago I was over in the fall and there was a bit of a throwback race where Tig pulled out a one piece purple bodysuit from his tickle trunk. I can't remember the name of the bike but I remember him racing in the purple suit on an early DH bike which had big rubber bands for suspension. I think Tig still holds the record for the "Summit Plummet". Tig and his crew definitely got everyone out to help build the incredible trails and create an extremely special place and I don't know if I would be where I am today without Hornby's mountain biking. - Geoff Kabush - Three time Canadian Olympian, World Cup racer with SCOTT-3Rox Racing
|Tig was my model for being a showman, he knew how to entertain a crowd, and would do whatever it would take to make it happen! He was a very talented trials rider, and once he landed a 360 spin just a little off balance and totally taco'd his wheel. The crowd LOVED it! So whenever there was a big crowd, he'd pull out the big 'ol 360 and taco on demand! Another one of my favorites was his faux crash, this is a skill I never was able to learn. Crash on purpose to set the audiences heart a-beat. He nailed that one over and over. Behind the scenes though, Tig was calm, conscientious, and professional. I couldn't have asked for better role models from my years on Team Orb. - Ryan Leech - BC Trials Legend, Norco Factory Athlete
|Hornby Island: A 400 foot tall cliff on one side, a gentle slope down into the ocean on the other side. A perfect geological formula for views at the top of the trails, and low angle high speed shredding on the way down!
|The ever changing weather patterns of spring's seasons forced us to duck from raindrops, and bask in what sunshine we were given.
|Cross Family Farm, Strachan Valley, Hornby Island, BC. During the days of the Hornby Bike Fest, this barn was the site of the infamous Trials Competition.
|Let's just say that a lot of really interesting things have been fixed, worked on, built,and re-built in this shop on the Cross farm.
|This is Sasha Lebaron, who along with Tig Cross has been mountain biking on Hornby Island since the late 70's.
|Tig Cross leads Sasha Lebaron down 'Kootenay Loop,' possibly one of the most steep and exposed trails anywhere. You won't find this one on any map.
|Tig and Sasha race each other down the dual slalom course where many of the sport's greats sharpened their teeth, way back in the early 1990's.
|Hornby Island Mountain Bike Association's Genuine Draft Trail. Recently upgraded by Sasha Lebaron wth his trusty excavator.
|Genuine Draft leads through a 'Valley within a valley' chockablock full of moss, alders, and titantic boulders that once lay on the ocean's floor.
|Riley McIntosh sweating his way upwards, rear tire wanting to break free and spin in the early spring loon shit conditions.
|Tig Cross muscling his way upwards on Geniune Draft, the calls of his cattle below echoing through the alders.
|No Horses trail, Hornby Island. This trail has the flow of a river, the beauty of Gisele Bundchen, and the remote solitude of a Gulf Island
|Riley McIntosh hits a corner on No Horses, a trail with the flow of A-line, but started back in 1985.
|Sinewy corners on 4 Dead Aliens. Hornby trail pioneer Sasha Lebaron says they got their trail building influence from Beggars Canyon, back on Tattoine. How fitting.
|On Hornby's trails you truly feel like a hot speed racer flashing through a tableau of green moss all around., especially when you are on a new age bike like the Kona Satori. Truly the path to enlightenment.
|Riley McIntosh trying to do a neat skid for Margus Riga's camera, but the hero dirt was just too grippy!
|Riley manuals into a bermed corner hidden by years of overgrowth, where once BC's greats battled for Bike Fest supremacy on a dual slalom course that was way ahead of its time.
|Riley McIntosh and Scott Secco doing some early morning filming on Chris and Brad's trail, Hornby Island, BC.
|To get this shot, Margus Riga spurred his way up a fir tree, swaying gently in the wind as Riley McIntosh sped by.
|Don't show this photo to Tig Cross's mother. Nose hops, one slip away from 400 feet of exposed cliff
|The fir and arbutus trees, the salal, the views of Vancouver Island, the eagles soaring on eye level with the rider
|The coolest thing is how the ridgelines forms this big backbone for the entire riding zone of Hornby. You can traverse the ridge in either direction and choose your trails accordingly. Many of the trails can be ridden in either direction.
|Views, cool air, tacky dirt. Hornby Island is the ultimate mountain bike destination for you and your girlfriend. Guaranteed.

Nokia Lumia 930 Deals on 3
Nokia Lumia 930
Nokia's latest and great flagship smartphone
The Lumia 930 is the latest flagship from Nokia and it's the company's most complete Windows Phone handset yet in that there aren't really any compromises.
The smartphones comes with a stunning 5-inch 1080p display and comes pre-loaded with the new Windows Phone 8.1 operating system.
It's alumuinium frame gives it that all important premium feel and it's available in a choice of 4 stunning colours. All of which come with 4G support, so you can browse the web and stream videos even faster.
Nokia Lumia 930 Deals
Nokia Lumia 930 - Windows Phone 8.1 and 4G
The Lumia 930 is the latest flagship from Nokia and it's the company's most complete Windows Phone handset yet in that there aren't really any compromises.
Unlike most earlier Lumia handsets, such as its predecessor the Nokia Lumia 925, this is a very powerful phone. It has a 2.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM, which is just about enough for it to go toe to toe with Android heavyweights.
It also has a high resolution 5 inch 1080 x 1920 AMOLED display with a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch and an impressive 20 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and a dual-LED flash.
It's well built too, thanks to a stylish aluminium frame and it ships with Windows Phone 8.1, which is a brand new version of the OS, complete with powerful features like the Cortana virtual assistant and Action Centre for managing notifications.
So it's the complete package. Powerful, with a great screen, a premium build, a capable camera and innovative software features. In other words it's exactly the phone that Microsoft and Nokia need.
Nokia Lumia 930 Release Date and Price
The Nokia Lumia 930 is due for release in late June or early July, but there's no concrete date yet. The UK price hasn't been confirmed either. Nokia has quoted it at $599 before taxes and subsidies, which with VAT will mean we're looking at at least around £400 in the UK, but we wouldn't be surprised if it ends up closer to £450.
Even if it does though that still makes it cheaper than the iPhone 5S or HTC One (M8) for example, both of which retail for upwards of £500.
There's no word on contract pricing yet, but this is a flagship device so it's likely to command a flagship price. In other words you're unlikely to get it for less than around £35 per month on most contracts.

PCSP Patrolman Rollie Sanders retires
By KEVIN NEVERS
For better than a
quarter of a century, Duneland's own Rollie Sanders has been keeping the
peace in Porter County, plugging away in his squad car, putting the miles
behind him.
On Tuesday, Sanders
pulled the pin, after 24 years with the Porter County Sheriff's Police and
31 in local enforcement. It was, for him, the right time. "I wasn't forced
out by the department or the doctors," he says. "I'm going out on my own
Sanders grew up in
Liberty Township, graduated CHS in '74, got his first billet in law
enforcement at the jail, then joined the Chesterton PD, and finally found a
home at the PCSP. His whole career he worked as a patrolman. "I like
people," he says. "I'm a people person. You see more people on the road.
It's something different every five minutes. You may go from an accident to
a traffic stop to helping someone. You never know. I've done everything from
giving tickets to working murder cases."
His best call ever?
"Getting shot at,"
Sanders says. "I made a traffic stop and the guy decided to take off and in
the chase he shot at me. Hit my car. He ended up in a swamp, nowhere to go.
We just waited him out. Five hours later he comes walking out, gives himself
The worst call?
Christmas Eve,
years ago, while he was still with the CPD: a five-fatality accident on
It's been a good
run, Sanders has done his bit to serve and protect, and he's proud of his
mileage, but he doesn't mind telling you: he's tired and the job isn't what
it once was. "It's gotten tougher. It's not as fun as it used to be. There's
more paperwork. There's less time behind the wheel. And people have changed.
They're not as respectful. When I was a kid, cops got some respect. Now it's
like Who the hell are you? It's just totally changed. I can't really
describe it."
Sanders' plans, now
that there's no clock to punch? A resident of Westchester Township and a
member of the Sons of the American Legion, he's looking for ways to become
more active in the life of Duneland and "give back to the community."
More than anything
else, though, Sanders wants to stay close to home. "I'm going to enjoy my
life and my four grandkids." His own children, twin daughters and a son, all
served in the U.S. Army--his boy came home last summer from a tour
overseas--and the way Sanders looks at it, it's not his world anymore, it's

Ugly Shoe of the Week
These shoes have a fatal case of the too-much-going-ons, I'm afraid; and Hale Bob: you have only yourself to blame. While these sandals could have looked quite elegant had they been toned down a notch, the addition of fussy clasps, complicated straps and a heavily detailed wedge make them more overwhelming than anything else! Perhaps a subtle kind of ugly (compared with the likes of these, anyway); at $99.99, they're anything but a bargain.

NYC Cannabis March Gathers Unlikely Allies
Celebrities and activists in favor of weed legalization turn out in droves.
Competing with the primarily Corona- and Tecate-fueled Cinco de Mayo festivities in New York this Saturday was the Big Apple edition of the annual Global Cannabis March, which shambled its way from Washington Square Park, NYC's ancestral and spiritual home of pot-smoking, to Union Square, fast becoming an Occupy Wall Street hotspot. Legalize-it luminaries in attendance included rappers Immortal Technique and King David, Yippie "Pie Man" Aron King, John Lennon musician pal David Peel (of David Peel & The Lower East Side band fame, whose 1968 debut album was the classic—and obviously pro-pot—Have a Marijuana) and Joanne Naughton, who spoke on behalf of the organization Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP). Naughton spend 20 years in the NYPD, working undercover in narcotics and retiring as a lieutenant before becoming a Legal Aid Society lawyer. For much of her career, according to her LEAP bio, Naughton believed that the drug war was the right way to combat US drug problems. But, she said, "It slowly dawned on me that if the drug laws were working, we wouldn't be continually hearing about these big drug busts." More pictures from the march can be seen here.

An ethical person - like a politician, banker or lawyer - may know right from wrong, but unlike many of them, a moral person lives it. "Marx and Engels never tried to refute their opponents with argument. They insulted, ridiculed, derided, slandered, and traduced them, and in their use of these methods their followers are not less expert. Their polemic is directed never against the argument of the opponent, but always against his person."

Hall-of-Fame basketball player turned businessman Earvin "Magic" Johnson is part of a group that's submitted a proposal to redevelop the former Michigan State Fairgrounds site in Detroit.
The Detroit News reports (http://bit.ly/NBK5VX) Friday the plan includes a movie theater, park, restaurants, townhouses and senior housing. The 500,000-square-foot development proposal also incorporates an Amtrak station.
The newspaper reports the proposal from Magic Plus LLC is one of three bids submitted and the only one moving forward. It's expected to be next to the Gateway Marketplace, the first major shopping center in Detroit in years.
Johnson's partners are Detroit entrepreneur Marvin Beatty and Lansing businessman Joel Ferguson. Ferguson also is on the Michigan State University Board of Trustees.
Johnson led Michigan State to the 1979 college basketball national championship.

Dutch ban voting computers over eavesdropping fear
The risk of eavesdropping has driven the Dutch government to ban electronic voting computers from future elections. The Ministry of Internal Affairs says that the development of safer voting computers has "insufficient added value over voting by paper and pencil". Dutch election officials will return to using paper ballots …
Nice retroactive action by the minister!
clever trick to revoke the permission to use e-voting machines in March 2008!
The should switch to p-voting as in Belgium. The noise and/or stench should drown out the signal for eavesdroppers
The waterproof one with the tinfoil hat please
to the Dutch government for having the balls to admit an error
Paris, 'cos even she can... ah fuck it, fill in the blanks youselves
wouldn't it be more sensible to use PEN and paper rather than pencil?
if you are so worried about security?
...the Dutch minister has no financial interest in Nedap. How refreshing! I'm wondering, however, what would have been the outcome if Nedap's CEO had Pledged to deliver Rotterdam to the minister's party?
Mine's the one with the matching tinfoil hat...
Good Move
Computers can be trusted for many things, but voting yikes! nothing to beat pen and paper. it is also a lot harder to screw up.
I also find it very surprising the IT company where not happy.
Do we need to be anonymous in a vote?
I am aware of the irony :)
But, what is the rationale, are we worried that our voting will be held against us?
I'm sure a reasonable system could be setup, that would allow us to make sure the vote counting was fair, whilst maintaining a degree of privacy.
I just think the status quo like the current system - because we keep getting the same lot in time and time again - I am not so sure our current manual system is not perhaps flawed.
I would love to live in a proper democracy, where we could submit our own items to vote on, and just let the majority decide each time. No more politicians, we could just vote in the rules that work best for us a society. It is something to shoot for at least.
Radio signals?
Whose brilliant idea was that? Every idiot and his monkey knows that voting machines should only use cabled connections. Preferably via serial port, with no standard TCP/IP stack in the OS.
So the Victorian Ballot system is vindicated yet again !
when the robots rule..
we won't need no stinking voting machines.
(all hail our robo overlords)
I'll only vote by pencil and paper!
While Ireland soldiers on
You lot think the Tony and Gordon show has been a joke?
Our shower over here wasted €50m in buying these self same voting machines which were used in a limited trial in a 2002 election. Nobody trusted them, and there were serious questions about their security. The response? Buy/lease a bunch of warehouses around the country (one has a 25 year lease, the life span of the machine is 10 or 15 years max) at a cost to the taxpayer of around €300k per year.
And since, unlike the UK, the page with the word "resign" has mysteriously been ripped from the Irish parliamentary dictionary, the clowns responsible for this carry on in their highly paid jobs.
Although I appreciate the 'right to privacy', I question whether this is a clever plan (and I live here, mind!)
There's loads more room for human error in a manual paper process.
The effort required to intercept the signals is quite high, and I can't quite figure out the benefit here.
I don't really care *who* knows what I voted.
Must be all the Geert Wilders voters who are concerned that someone will find out that they voted for a complete git and take away their right to vote. Serve 'em right, too.
(could we have a roll eyes icon please?)
@Radio signals?
The problem was not that radio signals were used to transmit the data, but that the electronic components of the LCD screen emitted (as a side effect) a RF signal. That RF signal can be received with a rather simple setup and would show which party and candidate was voted for.
Anonymous ballot
Edwin wrote: "I don't really care *who* knows what I voted"
You wouldn't say that if you wanted to vote for the opposition in Zimbabwe. With our hard won freedoms being systematically ripped from the statute book and ever more crimes and pre-crimes created in their place, don't fool yourself in to thinking we could never be put under the same sort of pressure in an election.
"And now that we return to paper voting, isn't there a risk voters can be filmed with webcams?"
Yes, there is that risk. Fortunately it's exactly the same risk that someone can be watched while voting and we managed to get around that problem years ago with the remarkably high tech solution of a curtain.
Is he seriously suggesting that we mitigate the risk of someone being covertly filmed while voting by making the system so vulnerable that no-one would need to go to the effort of installing a hidden camera?
I recommend a trip to the Dokumentation in Obersalzberg Bavaria before you go making statements like that.
In summary it is a timeline of Nazi rise to power in Germany, especially interesting are the parts on electoral "reform" and propaganda.
Certainly this is the extreme end of things but it shows quite candidly what can happen when voting is not free and anonymous.
Why Not Scan?
Here's how I see it working:
- I go to the polling station, identify myself and am handed my voting slip.
- I place my voting slip into the e-voting machine and it prints a unique (and random), human readable identifier onto the slip and issues a receipt with the same identifier (which I compare).
- I mark my X or Xs as appropriate.
- I place my voting slip into the e-voting machine.
- The machine scans the slip and registers the vote.
- The voting slip is retained should manual counting be required.
- I go home and go on-line to the e-voting web site where I am prompted to enter, for example, the 3rd, 7th and 12th character of my identifier.
- The web site shows a list of the (n) matching identifiers, sorted by identifier, and their associated vote and I confirm that my vote is correct.
- Following the election results being ratified the full set of identifiers and votes is made available. The physical voting slips are all collected, without reference to their original location, sorted by identifier and filed.
There are things that might cause concern:
1. Is the slip marked in some way to link it to the identified voter?
2. Can the generated identifier be linked back to the voter in some way?
1. is already possible with manual paper ballots and 2. should be addressable.
Have I missed anything?

2014: Forrester's Best Practices in Digital Data
February 5, 2014
Executive Summary
Marketing has changed more in the last five years than in the previous 50. The catalyst behind that change has been the emergence of digital, social, and mobile channels. In 2014, mastery of those channels and how they fit into the overall marketing picture will be driven by the data they provide, and how marketers make use of that data. David Cooperstein, VP, research director serving CMOs at Forrester Research, Inc., shared the digital, social, and mobile trends that data will both address and require for marketing success in 2014 and beyond.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this company's tethered shooting package for Nikon bodies? OxfordEye.Co.Uk Price seems awfully good compared to the Nikon package. Thanks in advance.
Beauty beheld is beauty never lost
- John Greenleaf Whittier
Team Insider member and Contest Administrator - get in touch if you have questions/comments
If you shoot with you camera mounted on a tripod then shooting tethered might be worthwhile. If you shoot handheld, then shooting tethered is reminicent of shooting with a PC cord. The only difference is the cord is shorter and a computer will hit the floor when you trip on the cord.
At one time I was looking at one of those bluetooth memory cards, that will automatically send your shots to a computer without the trip hazard. At the time, the cards didn't have the most positive feedback. Mostly limited range and high directionality.
Thanks for your opinion about shooting tethered but that really wasn't my question - I was looking for someone to reply who had used the software with their experiences and opinions of it.
Beauty beheld is beauty never lost
- John Greenleaf Whittier
Team Insider member and Contest Administrator - get in touch if you have questions/comments
That was the closest I could get John. sorry if it wasn't what you where looking for.
-I have not used the software you're looking at, but I use Canon's software and like it. I did look through the specs of the software including the pictures and it looks like a very nice feature packed piece of software. It has a lot of correction capability similar to Adobe's Camera Raw and Lightroom.
-Here are a few alternatives to look at and play with if you like. The first is a "Free Script" that works with Nikon and Adobe Bridge from DIYPhotoBits.com. This video is a little old, but you can go to their site and get the newer script:
-Also, Adobe's Lightroom comes with tethering capability and can be used with almost any tetherable camera. You can download Lightroom as a trial for 30 days to see if you like it here:

Thanks for the info, Curt - I don't have an upcoming situation where I can try things (next couple are outdoor, location shoots) so I'll be doing some more investigation of options. Eager to try it though, I can imagine some distinct advantages of having a larger image immediately for review.
Beauty beheld is beauty never lost
- John Greenleaf Whittier
Team Insider member and Contest Administrator - get in touch if you have questions/comments
I am in the same boat as Curtis. I am a Canon user and their software is hand and foot the best way to work with a Canon camera. I still am perplexed why Nikon has not taken the same steps.
Canon's software is free and it allows you to capture, print and convert your images. They offer a few installs to get it working but they also offer free updates. I think Nikon users should start to pose the question to Nikon why they are not offering a similar package for their camera's as Canon for free.
Best of luck and no need to wait for a photo op to test software as that is the last chance to do it. I suggest setting up the software and shooting a can, couch, stuffed animal or anything else as test subjects to work through the software flow and see if it works for your flow. That at the end of the day is what matters most.
We all have different work flows and each software is going to have strengths and weaknesses. It is a matter of finding what works best.

I have used Lightroom 3 with my Canon 7D, and have simple added a 15' USB extension to the standard USB cable that came with the camera. I use a twist tie to attach the cable to my camera strap, and another at the junction of the two cables. As long as I don't trip over the cables, I have found it to be a fine solution.
I shot one day hand held using a PC cord. Never again. If the camera is wired, then it is on a tripod. IMHO.
-here is a somewhat related thread I started on controller software for Android OS and Canon. Soon to be available for Nikon and Pentax.

Other options...
I don't know if your still looking, but take a look at this software. I use it with my Canon's and it works very well and give you lots of control options.
I have no interest in this company nor do I work there. http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/d … ra-remote/
I use Aperture 3 or Capture One and I just got LR3 that has the same feature of tethered shooting. Capture one has the ability to use bluetooth to turn your ipad into a remote viewer too. That is really neat. I have not used your linked software though.
www.DIYPHOTOBITS.com website contains an exploit hack which fortunately AVG successfully blocked. Do not visit that site.

Hello everyone, this is my first post in this nice forum, and I was wondering which are the big names in the Gourmet, Fine & Flavour chocolate distribution business that you think are the best and also reliable partners in Europe, the USA and Asia.
I starting my bean to bar (and top gourmet ingredient) business and want to learn more how to develop my business from a small Central American business to enter the European, US and Asian markets…
I am new at this so I really appreciate your advice.
wishing you the best,
Juan Francisco

In fact, Budget Travel Magazine named Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport one of the 10 best airports in the nation in terms of competitive fares. The magazine hired an outside consultant to take a list of destinations and compare fares to those destinations. The 10 best airports were chosen based on the data collected by the consultant.
The fares at Clinton National attract thousands of passengers from the Memphis metropolitan area annually.
Quality air service and at competitive fares. It doesn't get much better than that!

Chilean import Angelo Henriquez netted his second goal for the club as United's Reserves defeated Stockport County 2-1 in the Manchester Senior Cup.
Following a disappointing first half, the Reds scored twice in quick succession after the interval through teenager Henriquez and Bebe to set up a hard-fought victory against the Conference outfit.
County were quickly into their stride and almost took an early lead. Nick Powell had to head Danny O'Donnell's goalbound effort off the line and Tom Eckersley also failed to connect properly during a nervous opening for the visitors.
Bebe lashed into the side-netting and Powell clipped an ambitious attempt off target but Stockport went close again when Tom Collins got the better of Tyler Blackett and forced a good stop out of Jonny Sutherland before firing a second opportunity wide.
Warren Joyce's side struggled to find any attacking rhythm and were not helped by Powell limping off before the break after failing to shrug off a knock. Adnan Januzaj, one of three Belgians in the starting line-up, sailed a free-kick into Lewis King's hands but there were few scares for the keeper in the first half.
Andy Graham had Sutherland flying across his goal with a fine attempt from long range but United soon assumed total control with two goals inside a couple of minutes. Federico Macheda burst into life when collecting a Charni Ekangamene pass and fed Henriquez with the Chilean taking advantage of the fact he was afforded too much space on the edge of the box to drill home a cool finish.
Macheda and Henriquez were also involved in the move that led to the second goal as Bebe took aim and his shot bobbled past King and into the corner of the net. Bebe deserved to extend the lead further after a solo run took him through the home defence but he prodded wide. Macheda and Henriquez, on the hour mark, also had decent efforts but a third goal was not forthcoming.
The Hatters made a fight of it by pulling a goal back eight minutes from time when Eckersley headed in at the near post following a short-corner routine, which had been conceded by Blackett diving to head over his own bar.

A Message from Adrian Mulluer, Co-Organizer of CRIMEFEST
CRIMEFEST is thrilled with its new
association with Magna cum Murder. Having organized the one-off visit of the
American Left Coast Crime convention to the UK in 2006, Myles Allfrey, Donna
Moore and Adrian Muller created CRIMEFEST to ensure that there continued
to be a British event where readers and writers from around the world could
socialize and celebrate crime fiction. A further aim was to promote and
increase the general readership of the genre. A collaboration with a
well-established and highly respected festival like Magna cum Murder is a
perfect way to achieve these aims.
Whilst benefiting from Magna cum Murder's experience,
CRIMEFEST will reciprocate by providing its own expertise in certain
areas. We hope this will be the perfect match to discover, rediscover and
celebrate the authors and community that make us love crime fiction as much as
we do.
First organized in June 2008, CRIMEFEST has not only become one of the biggest crime fiction
events in Europe, but also one of the most popular dates in the international
crime fiction calendar. The annual convention was featured as one of the 'best
crime-writing festivals around the world' in the Guardian and one of
the '50 Best Festivals' in the Independent. CRIMEFEST draws top crime
novelists, readers, editors, publishers and reviewers from around the world and
gives delegates the opportunity to celebrate the genre in an informal
2014 Highlights include:Gala DinnerInterviews with the featured Guest Authors and Toastmasterthe eDunnit, Goldsboro
Last Laugh and Sounds of Crime Award presentationsIn addition, there will be
some fifty author panels with more than a hundred participating authors, crime
writing workshops, a pitch-an-agent strand, and much more.
This year's CRIMEFEST will be held May 15-18, in Bristol, UK. You may register online or mail in your registration form.

|Michael Schwab
|Born in Hockenheim, Germany, 1966. Work and Lives in London since 1997.
Inventory, 2006
Grid of 8 Canvases (Green Blackboard Paint on Canvas, Chalk, 81cm x 116cm each)
Inventory is, as its name
suggests, a raster for thoughts about art. The dimensions for
Inventory are variable, although it has to date only been shown
as a grid of 8 canvases in two rows of 4. The work is 'site-specific'
in the particular sense that the writing that is applied to the
canvases is done in situ each time the work is installed. It,
thus, reflects a particular moment where my thinking about art
is re-shaped in the context of an exhibition. At the end, before
the canvases leave the space, the writing is wiped-off for the
next event.
The medium of chalk-writing is chosen for its efficiency; it allows being very quick and provisional. The choice of canvas as support as well as the grid-pattern for the hanging emphasise Inventory to be a series of paintings rather than of school-like blackboards. The aspect of painting is crucial to the execution of the work as meaning is placed on the surface visually as tableau (studio setting) and not as part of a didactic performance (school setting). What the words say can, therefore, visually shift between being a pattern and meaning very easily producing moments of recognition that fade as the eye moves on over the work.
My thoughts about art are a private philosophy interested in the relation of art and understanding. Inventory manifests these thoughts artistically making philosophy privately possible as it relieves the word-as-diagram from a reduction into language. The work is an important element in my current artistic research at the Royal College of Art in London as it reflects most generally what I do when I do art.
'Distance Circle' is a floor-based
work. An arbitrary centre point will be chosen, from Schwab will
measure the visible distance to walls, objects, etc in 15 degrees
steps. These distances will be plotted onto the floor and connected
by an outline. The resulting figure will be a representation
of the space as seen from an particular height.
'Distance Circle' is a development from recent measurement pieces. For example, in 'Reconstructions (City Trees)' Schwab measured the distances between trees planted in parks and at street corners and reconstructed their layout. The material He used varied from small scale pencil drawings to A1 computer plots on tracing paper to chalk drawings on the side walk.

Climate Camp & veganism
Posted 20 August 2007
This week, a thousand activists converged at the Climate Camp near Heathrow airport to raise awareness of the ecological emergency posed by climate change. The focus of the camp this year was aviation, which is widely-known to be a massive emitter of greenhouse gases. But there is much less awareness of the climate threat posed by animal farming, despite the fact that the industry is responsible for more emissions than all transport put together. Animal Aid went to the camp to make the point.
Many of the activists at the camp recognised the role of veganism as a way of reducing an individual's carbon footprint and all food at the site was vegan. But this message didn't make it into media coverage of the camp.
Last year's climate camp targeted Drax power station. This year aviation was the focus. We hope that the 2008 camp picks an animal farming industry 'target' so as to help remedy the current blindspot in the public debate.
Animal farming generates 37% of methane, and 65% of nitrous oxide emissions - two key greenhouse gases. Normally the focus is on carbon dioxide, but methane is 23 times more potent and nitrous oxide is 296 times more potent. In all, livestock farming is responsible for emitting more greenhouse gases than the whole of the global transport sector.

Organizational requirements for building a testing program
Bob Garcia
January 5th, 2011
Topics: Measurement, Optimization
Has your marketing moved beyond guessing? If your company is like a lot of other companies, someone within your organization (maybe you) has considered, tried but stopped, or is actively testing key entry pages, landing pages, funnels and/or other conversion focused pages of your website.
Our more than five years of experience in the site optimization space has given us with insight into what it takes for an organization to be successful in building an optimization program. Daniel Waisberg, founder of the website Online Behavior, asked me to write an article on the topic that can be read at: Organizational Requirements to a Successful Optimization Program
Building on this site optimization insight, I will be writing a series of related posts for this blog to provide a more holistic understanding of key requirements for site optimization (i.e. people, process and technology), exposing the required capabilities and resources as well as providing a framework for evaluating a vendor. Check back soon for the next post on the Webtrends blog.
Lastly, please do let me know your thoughts and if you have other optimization topics you want covered as my goal is to provide the most valuable and relevant information I can.

ROCHESTER, Mich. – Western Illinois scored two unearned runs in the top of the seventh inning, knocking off top-seeded South Dakota State, 4-2, in the opening game of the Summit League Baseball Championship.
The Fighting Leathernecks, who received an eight-inning pitching performance from Aaron Michel, improved to 19-35 overall and will face the winner between second-seeded Oakland or third-seeded North Dakota State at 1 p.m. Eastern Time (noon Central) on Friday. SDSU, which fell to 31-22 overall, will face the loser of Thursday's late game in an elimination game at 10 a.m. Eastern on Friday.
The Fighting Leathernecks grabbed a 2-0 lead with a pair of runs in the third inning off Summit League Pitcher of the Year Layne Somsen. J.P. Maestas drew a leadoff walk, which was followed by consecutive bunt singles by Zach Burling and Dan Dispensa. Jameson Henning drove in the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly and Steve Kedroski added a run-scoring groundout two batters later.
SDSU got on the board in the fourth as Nick Andrews walked and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Aaron Machbitz. The Jackrabbbits plated the tying run an inning later after Scott Splett recorded his third hit of the game and scored all the way from first on a throwing error.
WIU used aggressive baserunning in the seventh to take the lead. A double steal by Burling and Dispensa put runners at second and third base with two outs. Jameson Henning then reached on a throwing error, which allowed both runners to score.
The Jackrabbits could only muster one hit and a walk in their final three at-bats. Splett finished with half of SDSU's six hits.
Dispensa went 3-for-4 to lead Western Illinois, while Neil DeCook and Maestas each tallied two of the Fighting Leathernecks' 12 hits.
Michel scattered six hits, walked two and struck out one in his eight innings. Brian Loconsole pitched around a leadoff walk in the ninth to record his ninth save of the season.
Somsen struck out eight and walked two in seven innings in taking the loss for the Jackrabbits. The senior from Yankton fell to 4-5 on the season.

Georgia State Representative Tom WeldonPhoto by John Rawlston /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
A Georgia watchdog group that pushed for tougher ethics reform in this year's legislative session is hoping voters will pay attention to lobbyist spending when they consider whom to elect.
"We're trying to take the next step," said Georgia Common Cause Director William Perry, "so voters can use it as an issue for whom they are going to vote for."
All seats in the Georgia House of Representatives and Senate are up for election this November.
Ethics reform that would have capped lobbyist spending on gifts to legislators at $100 — either per event or per 24-hour period — was backed by several watchdog and tea party groups, but the bills didn't make it out of the Rules Committees in either chamber.
Georgia now has no limit on how much lobbyists can spend on legislators. According to Common Cause, Georgia is one of only three states that doesn't have any type of lobbyist spending caps.
"We're almost a Wild West when it comes to ethics," Perry said.
Common Cause plans to become more vocal in this election campaign by making voters aware of how their legislators rank when it comes to accepting gifts from lobbyists. The group plans to publish the amount spent over what state law requires lobbyists to report, he said.
But local Rep. Tom Weldon, R-Ringgold, said it's inaccurate to assume that lawmakers are supporting bills based on lobbyists' gifts.
Weldon said he doesn't know whether he would have voted for the House bill if it had come to the floor.
"If it gave transparency, I'd have to consider it," he said. "But I don't want to stop anyone's ability to have good representation in the Capitol."
Lobbyists educate lawmakers on positions, he said.
In 2010, an ethics bill passed that increased fines for lobbyists and legislators who break the law on reporting spending. It also required many local elected officials to file campaign disclosure reports — reports that detail who gives them how much in campaign funds — with the state Ethics Commission, according to The Associated Press.
But groups that supported ethics reform this year say that isn't enough.
Georgia Common Cause asked local attorney and former state Rep. McCracken Poston, of Ringgold, to speak last week on how he passed significant legislation 20 years ago that required lobbyists for the first time to report what they spent on legislators.
Poston said he sponsored that bill in 1992 when he realized how out-of-hand lobbyist spending had become. But he agreed the law should go further to cap lobbyist spending.
"It's very tough to change the status quo when the present representatives and senators are enjoying it so much," Poston said.
