- Comply with applicable strict state and federal regulations
- Provide a factory that is safe and clean for its employees to work in
- Recycle scrap and inks during the manufacturing process to minimize waste related to production

Morgan Freeman is set to star in 'Last Vegas'.
The Oscar-winning actor is in negotiations to join Michael Douglas and Robert De Niro in the Jon Turtletaub-directed comedy.
The film tells the story of four ageing men - Freeman, Douglas, De Niro and one other - who reunite in Vegas for Douglas' alter ego's bachelor party.
However, the night leads to tension after it emerges two of the men loved the same woman when they were teenagers.
'Crazy, Stupid, Love' writer Dan Fogelman will pen the script for the movie, which Dustin Hoffman and Christopher Walken have previously been linked to.
Douglas was previously linked with the movie three years ago, but he was diagnosed with cancer in August 2010 and he took time out from acting to battle the disease.
It will be his first movie since successfully fighting cancer.
Douglas' last film appearance saw him star in Steven Soderbergh's action movie 'Haywire', which was shot in early 2010 and released earlier this year.

I shoot the lights out
Hide 'til it's bright out
Oh just another lonely night
Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
Bitch, I'm a monster, no-good blood-sucker
Fat motherfucker – now look who's in trouble
As you run through my jungles all you hear is rumbles
Kanye West samples, here's one for example.
Gossip, gossip, nigga just stop it
Everybody know I'm a motherfucking monster
I'm-a need to see your fucking hands at the concert
I'm-a need to see your fucking hands at the concert
Profit, profit, nigga I got it
Everybody know I'm a motherfucking monster
I'm-a need to see your fucking hands at the concert
I'm-a need to see your fucking hands.
[Verse 1:]
The best living or dead hands down, huh
Less talk, more head right now, huh
And my eyes more red than the devil is
And I'm about to take it to another level, bitch
No matter who you go and get
Ain't nobody cold as this
Do the rap and the track, triple double no assists
And my only focus is staying on some bogus shit
Arguing with my older bitch, acting like I owe her shit
I heard that people sing raps to give the track pain
Bought the chain that always give me back pain
Fucking up my money so yeah I had to act sane
Chi nigga but these hoes love my accent
Chick came up to me and said
"This the number to dial
If you wanna make your #1 your #2 now"
Mix that Goose and Malibu I call it "Malibooyah"
Goddamn, Yeezy, how he hit them with a new style?
Know that motherfucker well: "What you gonna do now?
Whatever I want to do. Gosh! It's cool now"
Know I'm gonna do, ah, it's the new now
Think you motherfuckers really really need to cool out
Cause you'll never get on top of this
So mommy, best advice is just to get on top of this
Have you ever had sex with a pharaoh?
Put the pussy in a sarcophagus
Now she claiming that I bruised her esophagus
Head of the class and she just want a swallowship
I'm living in the future so the present is my past
My presence is a present, kiss my ass.
[Verse 2:]
Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong, Loch Ness
Goblin, ghoul, a zombie with no conscience
Question: What do these things all have in common?
Everybody knows I'm a motherfucking monster
Conquer, stomp ya, stop your silly nonsense
Nonsense, none of you niggas know where the swamp is
None of you niggas have seen the carnage that I've seen
I still hear fiends scream in my dreams
Murder, murder in black convertibles
I kill the block, I murder the avenues
I rape and pillage your village, women and children
Everybody want to know what my Achilles heel is
Love, I don't get enough of it
All I get is these vampires and blood-suckers
All I see is these niggas I made millionaires
Milling about, spilling they feelings in the air
All I see is these fake fucks with no fangs
Trying to draw blood from my ice-cold veins
I smell a massacre
Seems to be the only way to back you bastards up.
[Verse 3:]
Pull up in the monster automobile, gangsta
With a bad bitch that came from Sri Lanka
Yeah I'm in that Tonka color of Willy Wonka
You could be the king but watch the queen conquer
OK, first things first I'll eat your brains
Then I'm a start rocking gold teeth and fangs
Cause that's what a motherfucking monster do
Hair dresser from Milan that's the monster do
Monster Giuseppe heel, that's the monster shoe
Young Money is the roster and a monster crew
And I'm all up, all up, all up in the bank with the funny face
And if I'm fake, I ain't notice cause my money ain't
So let me get this straight, wait, I'm the rookie?
But my features and my shows ten times your pay?
50K for a verse, no album out
Yeah, my money's so tall that my Barbiez got to climb it
Hotter than a Middle Eastern climate, violent
Tony Matterhorn, dutty wine it, wylin'
Nicki on them titties when I sign it
That's how these niggas so one-track-minded
But really really I don't give a F-U-C-K
Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki cause she's fake
She's on a diet but her pockets eating cheesecake
And I'll say bride of Chucky is child's play
Just killed another career, it's a mild day
Besides 'Ye, they can't stands besides me
I think me, you and Am should ménage Friday
Pink wig, thick ass, give them whiplash
I think big, get cash, make them blink fast
Now look at what you just saw
This is what you live for
I'm a motherfucking monster.
I crossed the line
And I'll let God decide
And I wouldn't last these shows
So I am heading home.

New video: How to shape a loaf (using whole grain dough)
So many of you have asked for close-up video of someone shaping a loaf (what we called "gluten-cloaking" in the first book). Doing this quick shaping step is the same with whole grain doughs, but the feel is different– it isn't quite as resilient.
But as you can see in the video, it's basically the same process with this 100% whole wheat dough (the honey-enriched variation on page 80 of Healthy Bread in Five Minute a Day).

This week in the world of cartoons, Leela grows some tentacles on Futurama, we are treated to a very interesting new Hulk series on DisneyXD, and an hour-long TMNT season finale!
Ultimate Spider-Man is off for a little while to make way for the new Hulk series. As always - minor spoilers ahead!
Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. – "Doorway to Destruction: Part 1 & 2"
The newest offering from Marvel casts a "family" of Hulks together in a team-based take on a reality show.
The first two episodes of the series air this Sunday, with Rick Jones joining Hulk, Hulk's extraterrestrial son Skaar, and Red Hulk to fend off Annihilus.
Beware the Batman – "Broken"
Who could be behind a series of life-size army men using real weapons to attack the good people of Gotham? A member of the Gotham mafia by the name of Humpty Dumpty.
Futurama – "Leela and the Genestalk"
Genetic anomalies abound this week, as the onset of "squidification" sends Leela on a journey to an underground genetic engineering lab.
Check out the above clip for a dig at Adventure Time. For more on this week's episode of Futurama, check out Esther's recap.
Adventure Time – "Frost & Fire"
Finn gets some wild dreams after watching a fight between the Ice King and Flame Princess, however, Finn returns to consciousness before he reaches the conclusion of the reverie. To find out how his dream ends, Finn tries to get Flame and Ice to battle in hopes of reaching his earlier state.
Regular Show – "Party Re-Pete"
Benson has a date in the bag with his long-time pine Audrey, and celebrates by partying all night, transforming Benson into Party Benson.
Avengers Assemble – "Molecule Kid"
Avengers Assemble continues to toss obscure Marvel characters into the spotlight (and that's a good thing), with Molecule Man's son showing up on this week's episode.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – "Showdown"
In the hour-long season finale of TMNT, Kraang begins his long-planned invasion of Earth. In response, the fighting foursome head to TCRI to shut down Kraang's portal between dimensions.
The trailer teases a turtle death, but surely that won't happen...right?
Top image courtesy of Marvel Comics and DisneyXD. Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. & Avengers Assemble air Sunday mornings on DisneyXD. Futurama airs Wednesday night on Comedy Central. Beware the Batman airs Saturday Mornings on Cartoon Network.

EKU Launches Fully Online Master's of Public Administration Degree Program
Eastern Kentucky University will launch the first fully online accredited Master's of Public Administration degree program in Kentucky in Spring 2014.
The program, which is designed to serve pre-service graduate students as well as those already working in the public sector, is especially unique in that it can be tailored to students' career interests.
Dr. John Wade, dean of EKU's College of Arts & Sciences, said: "The online MPA program is a big step forward for us in reaching new students with the potential to excel in government and nonprofit administration. I predict it will become an important component of EKU's educational outreach to Kentucky and beyond."
EKU offered the first MPA degree in the Commonwealth and has been preparing leaders in public administration for more than 40 years. MPA Director and Online Program Coordinator LeAnn Beaty looks forward to connecting with a larger, more diverse group of students through the new online program.
"We hope to reach a broader audience of graduate students who might not otherwise be able to attend a more traditional on-campus program, but have a desire to become public sector and nonprofit leaders," she explained.
Students will choose from two tracks. The general EKU Online MPA track can be customized to fit individual career goals. Electives are available in subject areas including but not limited to homeland security, emergency management, labor and employment, fire and emergency services, school safety and occupational safety. The community development EKU Online MPA track prepares leaders with aspirations in nonprofit advocacy work, city management, zoning, strategic planning and related fields.
EKU Online students will take the same courses and earn the same degree as on-campus MPA students. Faculty members describe the curriculum as practitioner-focused with special emphasis on regional and local government. Coursework will conclude with the student's choice of an internship or a directed research project. Applications for the first term are due Nov. 30.
Eastern has given students the opportunity to earn fully accredited online degrees since 2006. EKU Online students enjoy many benefits designed to help them succeed, including a personal adviser who creates a graduation plan that allows them to meet both their individual academic goals and their professional obligations. Moreover, they have the ability to study anytime, from anywhere and to progress at an accelerated pace. Most online courses are completed in just eight weeks as opposed to 16 weeks for traditional on-campus courses.

Producing a webinar for the very first time can be a bit scary. You are excited to have discovered a way to broadcast for free (using AnyMeeting) but you want to make sure you are executing this task correctly. A lot of pressure goes into creating a live webinar. Will anyone actually show up? Will you effectively get your message across? All I can say is: plan, plan, plan!
Create a solid theme and topic that will be interesting to attendees, and drive the message home. Promote the event correctly, and invite others to attend in an appealing manner. Another AnyMeeting blog post provided great tips on how to promote your webinar on a tight budget—I suggest you read that article if you have not already.
Search Influence.com, a website promotion company, created a blog along these lines. The author generated a short list for marketers new to webinar conducting called "My First Marketing Webinar." After receiving the task of having to broadcast a marketing webinar for their online marketing service, the author's mind began to race. According to the blog, success was found in not only starting with a solid topic, but developing a "Webinar Wish List." This list assists in brainstorming to make sure that important Powerpoint slides, polls, and such are included in the presentation.
I think that this is a great place to start! Organization is KEY. Even if you believe that your message is simple and clear. Clearing your mind with a good brainstorming session will ensure that all aspects are covered the best way possible. The next tip is to research marketing and webinar platforms. I suggest researching before you start any project, and this is a great way to learn about new and innovative sites like AnyMeeting!
Some other helpful tips include creating webinar outlines promoting, and testing. Testing and practicing are extremely important – I think a lot of people forget or do not leave time to do so.
So don't panic – webinars are fun when you think outside of the box and involve your audience. The attendees will most likely want to participate, and this is a great way to network, rather than just talking at the crowd.

BIKES are practical, healthy and environmental but they are not usually considered romantic.
Yet for the women of Beryl's Night, they provided some loved-up inspiration for their hand-made Valentine's Day cards.
Beryl's Night is a regular evening hosted at the Broken Spoke Bike Co-op on Pembroke Street in Oxford for women who are interested in bikes.
Rachel Antill is a regular attendee and said: "I like going to the Beryl's Night because I love bikes but it is very male-dominated and it can be quite intimidating going in when they know every technical term and you don't.
"The ladies' night is a bit more relaxed and there's more support. People don't expect you to know everything."
They might not want to sit talking about bikes with men – but they have not forgotten them altogether.
To celebrate Valentine's Day, the women have turned their hands to bike-themed cards for partners.
Mrs Antill, who lives in Cutteslowe and made her card for her husband Jon, said: "I like that there's always something crafty going on, like how to make wallets out of old inner tubes, or those Valentine's Day cards. Even if there's nothing like that, there's a film going on or something."

|XP is just a number
Use method/function signatures with Perlby Ovid (Cardinal)
|on Dec 06, 2004 at 00:40 UTC ( #412554=perlmeditation: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
If you're familiar with modern programming languages other than Perl, you may be frustrated with Perl's relatively simple argument handling. While it's very easy to understand, it leads to a wide variety of bugs that are far less common in other languages. Consider the following example of overloading a method to be both a setter and a getter (a common idiom in Perl):
The intent is to allow the programmer to do this:
Superficially, this looks fine. However, this code throws away information about the arguments which in turn leads to more bugs. What happens when the person using this code tries the following:
With the code as written, all of those method calls would "succeed" and silently DWIDM (do what I don't mean.) This is a pernicious source of bugs. In fact, there's a lot of debate in the Perl community about whether or not it's worth putting in a lot of extra checks in the code to protect against this.
Wow. Our nice, clean, easy to read subroutine is starting to turn into an ugly mess. That's one of the reasons I've favored separate setters and getters, but what I would really like to do is this (available in just about any modern programming language):
Wouldn't that be nice? It would be so much easier to program that way. Well, now you can. I've uploaded Sub::Signatures to the CPAN.
It allows you to specify method and function signatures and dispatch accordingly. In 'loose' mode (the default), it merely dispatches based on the number of arguments:
In 'strict' mode, it requires that functions/methods be "typed" according to what ref would return. If ref returns nothing, then SCALAR is assumed. If not type is specified, SCALAR is assumed. That, by the way, is why the &name examples above do what I meant. In strict mode, with no type specified, the $name argument is required to be a SCALAR. Attempting to assign a Name object is a fatal error.
Currently supported features:
And in version 0.1, currently on its way to the CPAN, I've added support for anonymous functions and halting compilation for duplicate signatures.
Yes, this is alpha code and yes, it's a source filter. If your particular brand of dogmatism says "no source filters" that's fine, but do read this first. If you still don't want to use this, I won't be offended.
If you do want this, please give me feedback, suggestions, bug reports, etc. I would like to get this "production ready" if possible.

Cross the threshold of Disney's Haunted Mansion and prepare for a spook-laden scare-a-thon in the guise of mild-mannered caretaker Zeke. After answering an advert in the paper, the reluctant ghost hunter becomes trapped in the house from hell, armed with only a lantern to defend himself from the cadaverous occupiers lurking in every corner.
Imbued with Disney's distinctive brand of charm and wit, The Haunted Mansion is a delightful slice of phantom-chasing action, with more than 40 different locations to explore on your ghost-capturing travels. Zeke's lantern may seem somewhat inadequate in a toe-to-sheet battle against the undead, but luckily for the unwilling adventurer it's actually a magic torchlight that can sort out errant apparitions in double-quick time. It's also possible to upgrade your lantern's properties by collecting six gems from the bosses you encounter at the end of each level.
As you explore the Gracey Mansion you'll encounter a range of puzzles set within each of the rooms which, when solved, will restore power to that particular area. They're just the right side of taxing, and provide a nice balance to the spook-dodging action.

From street level in Palo Alto, California, the headquarters of Bill Nguyen's new startup appears to be an abandoned storefront: A sign on the door instructs you go to elsewhere, and the windows are covered with brown butcher paper.
But those permitted to enter find a bustling high-tech operation. Dozens of energetic young people work on long tables loaded with computer equipment. It's like a black and white photo exploding into vibrant color, reminiscent of the scene in The Sting where a nondescript door leads to a busy and luxurious gambling joint.
The stealth ends. Nguyen, a fabled serial entrepreneur whose last company was the cloud-based music service Lala (bought by Apple), is launching Color, a photo-based social networking mobile app. It's available in the Apple app store now.
Like another recently announced social app called Path, Color ties people together by the camera lens of a smartphone. But in other respects, Color couldn't be more different.
Whereas Path limits distribution of your visual "moments" to those in your social cohort – following the theories of Robin Dunbar, who postulates that people have meaningful connections to a relatively small group of associates – Color augments your experience by unlocking the newly captured memories of the people sharing your physical space. It's the anti-Dunbar app, welcoming people into your circle, even if you don't know them and don't intend to.
This puts it squarely into a problem space that many sharp minds in tech are trying to solve: How can you create instant local communities among those who occupy the same place at the same time? Solving the problem not only makes for a compelling experience that alters human interaction, but offers a huge revenue opportunity by being able to sell to everyone at a given spot, at just the right time.
Here's how Color works: Once the app is installed on your iPhone or Android phone (it's available on both, free, beginning March 24; eventually it will find its way to Blackberry and Win 7 phones), you simply open it and thus are provided entry into a transient cohort of everyone else in the area snapping pics via Color. Color calls this a "multilens" experience. Anyone in that group who takes a photo or a video instantly shares those images with everyone else.
And once you take a picture yourself, you can take those shots with you. In the most mundane aspect, picture a birthday party where a half-dozen people take photos or grab some video. Instead of passing the camera around – look at this one! – or sharing files the next day on Facebook or even sending them in a complicated e-mail circle, everyone has access all at once.
There are some truly fascinating aspects of Color. The first is that your personal photo log will be transformed into a collective work created by all of those who shared a space with you. What's more, once a photo taken by another Color user is included in the massive "personal diary" you will accumulate, you can get a glimpse of their lives – actually viewing the photo stream of the moments they have captured.
That's right, you can see their personal diaries. If some unknown dude snapped a picture of a performer at a concert you attended, two years later you can click on it and instantly get access to his wedding pictures and his obsessive documentation of barbecue joints.
But it isn't a exercise in pure voyeurism: Those whose diaries you view will get a notification that you're perusing their stream. And then they might be inclined to look over your diary. Color sees this all as a public service, with Kumbaya-like effects of people getting to know each other.
Being able to glimpse into the lives of the strangers around you, and vice versa, pulls back a social curtain with consequences that remain to be seen. This may become of the most effective social icebreakers of all time. Or just creepy.
Color boasts a number of innovations that help make the service work well. One is an ability to figure out the proper geographic bounds of a community. It supposedly can figure out that the walls of a small restaurant contain one temporary community, while a spacious sports arena contains another, larger community.
In cases like that, where there may be thousands of photos posted, Color will use sophisticated algorithms to determine a subset that will wind up on an individual's daily album. This photo log can be quite voluminous over time, with no strains on the phone's storage, as everything is kept in the cloud.
Another algorithmic accomplishment is Color's determination of "an elastic network." The app figures out which people you are most in contact with and sends you recent photos taken by them in its version of a news feed. So the moments of a co-worker or family member with whom you often share locations will show up more often in your feed. (OK, Color isn't completely anti-Dunbar.)
On the other hand, your feed might include some pictures of a random person who shot the Trevi Fountain when you were there – but only for a few days, before that person fades from your network.
"We're the only stepchild of Google and Apple," says Nguyen of the company's mix of algorithms and emotional content.
If Color fulfills its ambitions, millions of users will adopt it, thus assuring persistent views of almost any given location. If that happens, even more interesting effects can be triggered.
One feature contemplated by Color is called "peeking," where you can dial up a location and see what's happening there through people's smartphones. (Perhaps this will be limited to news operations at first.) "Every camera will be a lens in real time," says Nguyen.
Obviously, Color's ambitions bring up all sorts of concerns about privacy and decency. As for the first issue, the company has declared that all the photos taken with Color should be considered public. If you post them, by definition you are relinquishing privacy – think of them, Color tells us, like open posts on Twitter.
Color instructs users to save their private moments for apps that don't share. You can delete any photo you've taken and it will disappear. (Of course those who aren't Color users but are simply caught in the "multilenses" of others might have their own objections.) And to make sure naughty users don't post, um, off-color photos, the company vows to punish such pervs by permanently "bricking" that app from their smartphones.
Who owns the photos? Photographers do, despite their promiscuous distribution. By default, photos are regarded as protected by a Creative Common license. Right now, there's no capability to print.
On the eve of the launch, Nguyen had other news to report: The initial funding of $14 million from Bain Capital and other investors had been augmented by others, including a $25 million investment from Sequoia Capital. The total funding now stands at $41 million.
What will Color do with all that money? Nguyen says that it will fund sophisticated data analytics that will help it recognize its users, the better to monetize the app. He uses an example of a restaurant that will be able to know who you are without your having to log in or explicitly identify yourself. "They'll know when you come in and make you feel welcomed," he says.
That doesn't sound nearly exciting as the ability to peek into the moments of those around you – or those with whom you temporarily shared a space. But these are early days for software that binds together strangers in the night. It's going to take years for us to learn how to Color by the numbers.

Obviously, when Amis did this film, he wasn't in the position of moving from the role of novelist to actor, but I've been a fan of Amis for quite a long time, and when I first heard that, as a boy, Amis appeared as an actor in this film, I became extremely interested. I didn't see the film until a year or so ago, after I'd read the source novel by Richard Hughes. The novel is a chilling masterpiece, and the film is, well, not. And Amis, as I remember, has almost nothing to say in the film, even though in the novel his character was pretty chatty. The film is a wash, really, and even if you're a fan of Amis, the novelty of the idea of seeing him in a film isn't actually heightened by actually seeing the film.
Above we have an image from Werner Herzog's remake of Nosferatu. To the right of Klaus Kinski is Roland Topor as Renfield. Topor isn't exactly a household name, but he was, among other things, a Kafka-esque, surrealist writer whose most famous novel, The Tenant, was adapted by Roman Polanski as The Roman Polanski Story (better known as The Tenant). Herzog says he cast Topor because of his laugh, but unfortunately all of Topor's dialogue had to be re-dubbed by another actor (the reasons for this escape me) so you don't even get to hear it. And as much as I love Herzog's film, Topor has always seemed like the weak link to me (well, Topor and whoever dubbed his voice), because he plays Renfield as a scampering cartoon loony, with none of the insectile creepiness that Kinski brings to his role. It always felt like a bad match, to me.
The way I remember hearing it, John Boorman agreed to cast James Dickey in the role of Sheriff Bullard in the film version of Dickey's Deliverance pretty much just to get Dickey off his back. Dickey was notoriously difficult to work with, or drink with, or sit in the same room with, or be a family member of, and it was no less difficult for the cast and crew to have him wandering around, insulting people, lying to them, and then slapping them on the back later as though they were old pals. But Boorman -- and anyone who cares to can correct me if I'm wrong in the comments -- achieved some sort of peace by casting Dickey as the sheriff who, in the last section of the film, suspects that our heroes are hiding something from him. And as it happens, Dickey is terrific in the role, the one roaring success of this kind of writer-to-actor leap I can think of. He brings a great authenticity and sharpness to a small role, and his performance is one of the most memorable in the whole film.
And then Salman Rushdie played himself in Bridget Jones' Diary. I don't remember anything about the film, or even what Rushdie did or said in his small amount of screen time, but I do remember thinking, "Well. That's kind of odd, isn't it?"
So who am I forgetting? Any other writers who made a brief foray into film acting that deserve a mention here? Let me know.
Where do I begin? In the comments section, many, many, many other examples of writers-as-actors have been pointed out to me, many I simply didn't think of, others I had no idea about. And now I feel mighty embarrassed, but oh well. I asked, didn't I? So, from the likes of Marilyn (who's probably mad at me), Mariana, Greg F., Pat, ND, here's some more...
Sam Shepard in a whole shitload of movies, most notably The Right Stuff and Days of Heaven
Norman Mailer in Ragtime, as well as some of his own films
Marshal McLuhan in Annie Hall
Robert Benchley in a whole lot of stuff
While I'm at it, Peter Benchley in Jaws
Paul Auster in The Music of Chance (that one was mine!!)
Stephen King in Creepshow, Sleepwalkers, Knightriders, Creepshow 2, and etc.
Truman Capote in Murder by Death
William S. Burroughs in Drugstore Cowboy
Colin McCabe in Sammy and Rosie Get Laid
Jerzy Kosinsky in Reds
George Plimpton in Reds, Good Will Hunting, and etc.
Antonin Artaud in The Passion of Joan of Arc
And, it just occurred to me, Saul Bellow and Susan Sontag are both in Zelig.

The ServerGrove blog has a new post today showing you how to deploy Symfony2 applications using Ansible, an automation tool that uses "playbooks" to define steps.
Ansible is a powerful automation engine that simplifies deploying systems and apps. Its popularity has been rising rapidly as developers and system administrators look for simpler ways to manage servers and deploy applications. The selling points of Ansible are: simplicity, agentless and extensible.
ServerGrove, traditionally a Capistrano/Capifony user, decided to give Ansible a try. They include the steps to go through to get the correct environment set up and how to execute commands on the remote servers. There's also an example of a sample task that updates packages on the remote server, moves a config file into place and restarts Apache. With this foundation, they get into the actual Symfony2 deployment, sharing their custom role that sets up the directory, clones the Git repository, runs Composer and executes an Assetic dump.

Welcome to Ron Kramer's PortraNET!
Learn how to create professional portraiture
with online instruction on lighting, posing,
digital workflow, print enhancement, retouching and more!
Below the following 6 images you can learn more.

Click here to skip the info page and go directly to the PortraNET system
PortraNET went online April of 2003 and is an on going seminar for the advancement of professional portrait photographers and those who want to learn pro portrait skills. Members gain one on one experience with Top Senior Portrait photographer "Ron Kramer" as he teaches his techniques used in posing, lighting, conventional and digital retouching, and print enhancement. Ron has owned and operated "The House of Photography" for 24 years and has 3 decades of personal photographic experience.
Unlike message forums where people exchange the basics, Ron reveals all his tricks n tips and personal secrets to the questions you have with answers you can use to improve your daily work. Step by step explanations and detailed example photographs are used to convey topics so that you can see the difference. Take what you've learned from Ron and apply it in your work, then post your images using these techniques so that Ron can personally critique and refine what you've created to allow you to improve at a faster rate. Occasionally we will share video clips as visual training aids. These will show clips from portrait sessions and will document the steps taken during Photoshop print enhancements.
Learn from seeing others work as Ron points out how to improve the compositional flow, correct color and use digital software to get that snappy look out of your every day work. In addition to learning the rules of posing and lighting, you'll be taken BEYOND - learning what rules to break or bend to build more natural poses.
Advance your studio by learning ways to market your work for little or nothing. Learn what works and what doesn't. Learn how to make your own promotional materials in Photoshop. Get the assistance you need to create brochures and fliers that gain your customers attention with bold graphics, and great composition, balance and color.
You'll generally pay $100-$200 for an afternoon seminar, or $500-$800 for a weekend or seven day class as just another photographer in the audience. Even pay $300+ just to be listed as a member of a professional association. Our new method of on-line training costs you nothing in travel expenses and allows you to sit and learn from the comfort of your home or studio. No where else can you get a year of one-on-one questions and answers with an instructor as you practice what you've learned. This allows you to progress quickly over days, weeks, months throughout the entire year! No more paying for seminars, then going home and not being able to get the results you hoped for. We'll actually "put into practice" what we preach!
New! We've added a free public area! Register (real names only, please - no handles) to be emailed your password. Log in and get free pointers, talk to my students and more.
Because we wish to keep the instruction on a personal level, memberships will be limited. Annual membership is $1795 for a full year of instruction. NEW! We're currently offering a payment plan! (995.00 gets you in, then pay 100.00 a month). Stop paying at any time. How can we do this? Because during the year we've offered it - EVERYONE has paid to stay connected... it's THAT GOOD!
1795.00 sound steep? Not compared to your return. Most of our members recoup their enrollment in the first year any many in the first several months. Over the years, you'll easily make this back 100X in offering superior work and this investment will be recouped in just a few photo sessions. Of course you learn at your own pace. Show your lighting setup and results, and Ron will examine your photos and explain what you need to do to improve your work. All the "elements" that comprise a great portrait image will be discussed so that you can put all the elements together to create consistently awesome work. Best of all, it's a write off.
PortraNET is not a place to learn "photography" it is a place to learn fine portraiture. A good basic knowledge of photography and equipment usage (f-stops, shutter speeds, light meters and the basics of exposure) should already be fully understood. Though I have been forced to get into those things now as well since many people have enrolled that were new to photography. Still my main goal is to teach posing, lighting, studio operations and the business of Portraiture. But I give you everything you'll need no matter how basic.
Feb 9th, 2005 - Time for an update: Due to word-of-mouth from my students, PortraNET has grown far beyond my expectations. I honestly felt I would have 12-15 members by the end of the first year. Instead I had 96. It has grown since then to 18 students joining during December and 30 (yes, THIRTY!) new students joining during the month of January.
PortraNET HAS and IS growing at a rapid rate. Not only my student body, but also the content... which in some ways has not been totally positive in that so much content can be difficult to manage, sort and find for new students. With these growing pains I've had to raise prices a little to slow enrollments. This is giving us time to re-think the structure and format of PortraNET. We've found the solution was the creation of a "Table Of Contents" which allows students to look up the information they need to learn and link directly to that area in the PortraNET "encyclopedia."
The difference between PortraNET and seminars, workshops, books
magazines or forums?
- You may find the above information may be a bit outdated. This is
because we now have public "Lounge" and "News" areas on PortraNET that
show the latest offerings and even "Before and After" examples of our
students work and their progress. Kudo's can be found in the
Lounge and examples and latest happenings are in the News area.

NACO, Ariz. (AP) — A Border Patrol agent was shot to death Tuesday in Arizona near the U.S.-Mexico line, the first fatal shooting of an agent since a deadly 2010 firefight with Mexican bandits that spawned congressional probes of a botched government gun-smuggling investigation.
The agent, Nicholas Ivie, 30, and a colleague were on patrol in the desert near Naco, Ariz., about 100 miles from Tucson, when shooting broke out shortly before 2 a.m., the Border Patrol said. The second agent was shot in the ankle and buttocks, and was reported to be in stable condition Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities have not identified the agent who was wounded, nor did they say whether any weapons were seized at the site of the shooting.
At a news conference in Naco, an FBI official said the agency still was processing the crime scene and it might take several days to complete. The FBI and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, which is also investigating, declined to say whether investigators have recovered guns or bullet casings.
No arrests have been made, but authorities suspect that more than one person fired at the agents.
"It's been a long day for us but it's been longer for no one more than a wife whose husband is not coming home. It's been longer for two children whose father is not coming home, and that is what is going to strengthen our resolve" to find those responsible and enforce the law, said Jeffrey Self, commander of Customs and Border Protection's Arizona joint field command.
The last Border Patrol agent fatally shot on duty was Brian Terry, who died in a shootout with bandits near the border in December 2010. The Border Patrol station in Naco, where the two agents shot Tuesday were stationed, was recently named after Terry.
Terry's shooting was later linked to the government's "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling operation, which allowed people suspected of illegally buying guns for others to walk away from gun shops with weapons, rather than be arrested.
Authorities intended to track the guns into Mexico. Two rifles found at the scene of Terry's shooting were bought by a member of the gun-smuggling ring being investigated.
Critics of the operation say any shooting along the border now will raise the specter those illegal weapons are still being used in border violence.
"There's no way to know at this point how the agent was killed, but because of Operation Fast and Furious, we'll wonder for years if the guns used in any killing along the border were part of an ill-advised gun-walking strategy," Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said in a written statement.
The Terry family said that the shooting was a "graphic reminder of the inherent dangers that threaten the safety of those who live and work near the border."
Authorities set up a checkpoint on a dirt road about seven miles southeast of Bisbee. A Border Patrol truck and another vehicle carrying two portable toilets were allowed to drive past the roadblock.
Agents at the checkpoint declined to comment and barred reporters from going further. Two helicopters from federal immigration agencies could be seen from a distance circling the area. And a fugitive-chase team could be seen staging on a roadside.
The area near the shooting is scattered with houses, trailers and ranchettes. Mesquite trees and creosote bushes dotted the landscape, and a mountain range stands nearby to the west.
The U.S. government has put thousands of sensors along the border that, when tripped, alert dispatchers that they should send agents to a particular location.
The agents were fired upon in a rugged hilly area about five miles north of the border as they responded to an alarm that was triggered on one of the sensors, said sheriff's spokeswoman Carol Capas. It is not known whether the agents returned fire, she said.
The wounded agent should be released from the hospital later Tuesday, said George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a union representing about 17,000 border patrol agents. The agents who were shot were on patrol with a third agent, who was not harmed, McCubbin said.
The Border Patrol said Ivie worked for the agency since January 2008 and grew up in Provo, Utah.
Ivie worked as an emergency medical technician before joining the Border Patrol, said his brother-in-law Todd Davis. Ivie was the youngest of five children, and often went camping, hunting and fishing with his family, Davis said.
Ivie's desire to help others, and his love of the outdoors and riding horses led him to the Border Patrol, where he served on the horse patrol unit, Davis said.
"Nick always tried to help others. He was a very selfless man with his family, with his friends, in anything he did," Davis said. "You know the risk but you pray this day would never happen."
Twenty-six Border Patrol agents have died in the line of duty since 2002. Bisbee-area residents expressed a mix of concern and frustration about the shooting, along with recognition that the border can be a dangerous place.
The region has seen its share of violence in recent years, including the Terry shooting and the slaying of a well-known rancher in 2010. That killing is, in part, credited with pushing Arizona lawmakers to pass a law that requires officers, when they stop someone, to check the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally.
"There is no security on the border — none," said Edward L. Thomas, who owns rental properties in Bisbee.
Associated Press writer Felicia Fonseca in Flagstaff, Ariz., contributed to this report.

Malaysia Troops Find 13 Bodies, Hunt Gunmen After Sabah Assault
Malaysian security forces found 13 bodies of suspected Philippine militants as they expanded their hunt for an elusive armed group on the island of Borneo on Wednesday, a day after an assault with fighter jets, mortars and hundreds of troops.
The nearly month-long confrontation in Sabah state, in Malaysia's part of Borneo, was sparked when the armed group of about 200 sailed from the nearby southern Philippines to press an ancient claim to the resource-rich region.
"The total is 13. There could be more," Malaysian Defence Minister Zahid Hamidi told reporters at a media center set up at the palm oil plantation of Felda Sahabat.
It was unclear if the bodies found on Wednesday had been killed in Tuesday's massive assault or included some of the 19 militants that Malaysian officials said had been killed over the weekend. At least 27 people, including eight Malaysian policemen, have been killed since Friday's first clash.
Zahid, who produced what he described as pictures of some of the dead militants, said Malaysian forces had suffered no fresh casualties since the assault was launched on Tuesday.
Malaysian police warned residents to be on alert for members of the group who had escaped into plantations that dominate the coastal area and who could be posing as farmers.
Security forces clashed with suspected militants in three separate locations on Wednesday, state news agency Bernama said, with one gunman shot and believed to be dead.
"The mopping and searching will cover a wider area given there are signs the intruders moved to another location," police inspector-general Ismail Omar told reporters.
"The security forces are tracking down their movements and will take the appropriate action."
Allies of the group in Manila said they had been in telephone contact with Raja Muda Agbimuddin Kiram, the militants' leader and the brother of the self-proclaimed sultan, who said the group had split up to avoid detection.
Abraham Idjirani, a spokesman for the group, told Reuters that 10 of the sultan's followers had died in total, with 10 captured and four wounded.
"They will not come home and would rather die fighting if cornered," he said of the remaining followers in Sabah.
The family in Manila also said more followers had arrived to reinforce the group, a journey between the Southeast Asian neighbors that takes around an hour by speedboat.
Army trucks carrying dozens of soldiers continued to enter the village of Kampung Tanduo where the group had originally been holed up. A helicopter hovered overhead.
Fighter jets bombed the group's camp in the Felda Sahabat plantation early on Tuesday after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said his patience had run out. Philippine officials had urged the group to return home.
The group says it represents the now defunct sultanate of Sulu in the southern Philippines and demands recognition and payment from Malaysia due to their claim to be rightful owners of Sabah.
The security headache has strained ties between the Philippines and Malaysia and could prompt Najib to delay an election that must be held by June, adding to nervousness among investors over what could be the country's closest ever polls.
The insecurity has disrupted operations in Sabah's huge palm oil industry. Prolonged trouble could dampen growing investor interest in energy and infrastructure projects in the state, although the main oil fields are far from the standoff.

Ask any expat East African what food they miss most and they'll tell you nyama choma. In The Gambia, it's known as afra; and in South Africa it's what you have at a braai. All over the continent, roast or grilled meat is the heart of any big meal and, whenever possible, it is the meal.
A meat feast is also the only occasion in Africa when you'll find men doing the cooking – charring hunks of bloody flesh clearly answering a visceral male need that kings of the barbecue the world over would admit.
Most people don't eat meat often, subsisting on a simple starch dish for their regular meal of the day, so it's perhaps not surprising that when the occasion demands or provides a banquet, meat is the main fare. In Kenya or Tanzania, unless you happen to be invited to a wedding or funeral, you'll go to a purpose-built nyama choma bar, where flowing beer and loud music are the standard accompaniments, with greens and ugali (a stiff, corn porridge, like grits) optional. The choice is usually between goat and beef, with game meat such as impala, zebra or ostrich available at fancier places. If you select one of these, usually with an all-you-can-eat price tag equivalent to about a week's average wages, you should cannily resist the early offerings of soup, bread and sausages, leaving space for the main events.
After roasting, your meat is brought to your table on a wooden platter, chopped up to bite-size with a sharp knife, and served with a small pile of spiced salt and a hot sauce of tomato, onion, lime and chilies. You eat with your fingers, of course. You'll need a good appetite, strong jaws and plenty of time – to wait for your chosen roast, to chew and digest, to pick your teeth while downing a few more beers and to honour the dance requests that inevitably come your way, no matter how full you might feel.
Standard practice at meat bars is to go to the kitchen and order by weight direct from the butcher's hook or out of the fridge. Carnivore, on Langata Road, is Nairobi's best-known and biggest nyama choma bar.
