I have received today (11 September 2007) a rather threatening letter from Patrick Holford. He says
"I am writing to you directly to complain about both your article in The Guardian of 15 August, in which you falsely claim that my advocacy that Vitamin C is better than conventional drugs to treat AIDS is "truly scary", and in respect of the equally false claims you have posted on your website, DC Improbable Science, particularly in relation to Dr John Marks."
He ends, more threateningly,
"I nonetheless believe it appropriate that you withdraw the allegations you have made and apologise for making these unwarranted and defamatory allegations. Provided that we can agree the wording of an apology and the removal of the false claims, I am prepared to leave it there. However, I fully reserve my right to take this matter further should my complaint not be resolved to my satisfaction."
Here are responses to these two allegations.
(Some follow ups on this post have been added below)
Vitamin C and AIDS
What does Holford actually say about HIV/AIDS? On page 208 of his New Optimum Nutrition Bible (2003) we read (see Google books)
|"Yet for the last 100 years, medicine has focused on drugs designed to destroy the invader -antibiotics, anti-viral agents, chemotherapy. By their very nature, these drugs are poison to the body. AZT, the first prescribable anti-HIV drug, is potentially harmful and proving less effective than vitamin C (23)"
You can read this paper here. If you get that far, you might well be surprised to find that it is not a study of people with HIV/AIDS, but merely shows that vitamin C can, under lab conditions, inhibit HIV in cells in a dish. You might be even more surprised that the paper does not compare vitamin C and AZT. In fact AZT is not mentioned at all (except for a brief reference in the discussion).It is true, that on his web site, as opposed to his book, Holford expands on this theme a bit. For example here he says. of reference 23,
"Ref 23. These in vitro studies on human T-cells shows that vitamin C suppresses the HIV virus in both chronically and latently infected cells, while AZT has no significant effect. It is a tragedy that this simple, non-toxic treatment hasn't been further tested. "
Harakeh S, Jariwalla RJ.Ascorbate effect on cytokine stimulation of HIV production. Nutrition. 1995 Sep-Oct;11(5 Suppl):684-7.
But the reference given here (which does use AZT) is not reference 23 (which does not test AZT at all). Holford himself acknowleges that his book cites the wrong reference in his book.
Holford also forgets to mention (or perhaps didn't notice) that the concentrations of Vitamin C that are used in these in vitro studies are something like 10 times greater than can be achieved in man even with very high oral doses,
More recently he has backed off a bit. For example, here he says
"There is no doubt that anti-retroviral drugs save lives. So too may high dose vitamin C, but we just won't know until the definitive research trial is done."
Why, one wonders, has Holford not done studies in man himself? His name does not appear in the research literature at all (search Pubmed for 'Holford PJ' yourself). And Holford is not a poor man.
It still seems to me that anyone reading his New Optimum Nutrition Bible (2003) will be misled into thinking that Vitamin C is better than AZT for curing HIV/AIDS in man.
You can read more interesting stuff on this question at Holfordwatch.
What did Dr Marks actually say?
I'm accused of malicious behaviour, because I posted a letter from Dr Marks which set out his present views All I did was ask Dr Marks about what happened, and, with his encouragement, published his
answer. I also suggested to Dr Marks that he should write to Holford to ask for the basis on which Marks was quoted. When Marks received no reply, we decided to go ahead anyway.
I am, therefore, very grateful to Mr Holford for sending me a letter, dated 16 September 1997, that was sent to him by Dr Marks. The whole letter can be downloaded here.
It seems that in the ten years since that letter was written, Dr Marks has changed his mind a bit about Holford. but the main interest attached to the letter is the selective quotations that have been made from it.
In his 1997 letter to Holford, Marks says "On the basis of this I am entirely happy for you to quote as much or as little of the following comments as you wish. If you change the order of phrases or omit portions of sentences I am confident that you will not alter the general sense".
Judge for yourself whether the general sense has been changed in this case.
Dr Marks said (in 1997)
"There have been dramatic changes over the past decade in our views about that area of health care which comes under the general term "alternative medicine" and Patrick Holford, author of this book has been right at the forefront of many of these changes, particularly those associated with our revised appreciation of human nutrition. I commend this book to you on the basis that it is well researched and written with a substantial backing ofreferences from reliable and peer reviewed scientific and medical journals.
I do not accept all his conclusions and I suspect that his other readers will not agree with all that he says. On the other hand there is considerable food for thought in each chapter and adequate arguments on which you will be able to make up your own mind about the ideas which he puts forward. The road to bad medicine and bad health is built on the foundation of dogma and it is very refreshing to have, in a single readable volume, much of this dogma subjected to fresh examination."
Compare this with the quotation attributed to Dr Marks in the CV which was submitted by Holford to the University of Teesside.
"There have been dramatic changes over the past decade in our views about healthcare and Patrick Holford has been right at the forefront of many of these changes, particularly with our revised appreciation of nutrition. The road to bad medicine and bad health is built on the foundation of dogma. It is refreshing to have this dogma subjected to fresh examination."
So what happened to the bit where Marks refers to the work as "Alternative Medicine".
And what happened to the bit where Marks says "I do not accept all his conclusions and I suspect that his other readers will not agree with all that he says."
They seem to have vanished without trace.
I rest my case.

Rangers do have one or two problem positions at present. Left wing is certainly well documented, and right now we are also a tad unsure who is the best option for the number 9 slot.
But with backup defensive midfielder Jordan Rossiter back into injury trouble, Rangers have just one anchor available, Ryan Jack, and even he was an injury concern following a scare at Firhill.
If there is one thing lack, despite Pedro's claims otherwise, it is a real leader in the middle of the park. Graham Dorrans really is not a leader, and Jack, while performing admirably, could probably use a little guidance from an experienced pro who has played at the absolute highest levels.
France's Matheiu Flamini has been a free agent since Crystal Palace let him go earlier in the year. If anyone can guide, lead, help, and coach in the middle of the park, the 33 year old ex-Milan, Arsenal and Marseille man can.
His experience at the top levels of the game would be a massive boost for Rangers during a time where form is a little patchy, and a solid anchor for both training and playing would be a welcome addition.
Assuming the lad could keep his wage demands modest, he would be a fantastic name to bring in and help Jack and indeed Dorrans, and possibly give some guidance to young Rossiter too.
He has been in the news recently, describing life as a free agent, and how important a 'project' would be in terms of finding a new club:
"The situation is straight- forward. It is not about just the club but a project, something that can stimulate me. To me, the project is more important."
If Rangers are anything right now, it is a work in progress, and a project towards rebuilding ourselves and getting back to the top. We would certainly fit Flamini's bill there.
He goes on:
"I am keeping myself very fit. I have been training every day for the last six weeks. Obviously, the time without playing is starting to get a bit long but it is not uncommon for a professional footballer to be sidelined with injury and train alone."
The lad is clearly being a full professional and keeping himself in shape for the right offer to arrive, and Rangers could use a bit of a rudder in the middle of the park, assuming he was willing to take a fairly low wage for the privilege.
Rangers lack a bit of direction on the park. Alves has not quite delivered in the way we hoped, Dorrans probably is not a leader in the first place, and Miller is a touch out of form, not to mention Lee Wallace's injury.
An alpha leader coming in like Flamini would be quite a coup – he wants a new gig, and he is active in seeking the right one.
That could be us.

The South Korean, English-language newspaper The Korea Herald recently published an article exploring the reasons why Europe is seemingly often overlooked by the K-Pop industry when it comes to 'world' tours.
Unfortunately, it's a well-known situation for us European K-Pop fans – despite quite a few brilliant K-Pop concerts being held in Europe over the past few years, they are still very few and far between.
It's frustrating, to say the least, to witness our favourite K-Pop acts tour extensively across Asia and the US – only to then include three or four European stops (if any at all!)
The article explores the different reasons this might be the case.
"This interest, however, may just not be enough to entice a full European tour. Ticket sales may not emulate the sold-out tours in Asia, meaning European cities could be a gamble".
You can read the full article here.

Thinking about getting into organic produce delivery? Follow these 3 steps to prove it'll work first
If you're considering starting your own organic produce delivery business, or any business in general, you first need to determine if there's demand for it. While it's easy to see that organic food is becoming more popular every year, what do the numbers say?
Organic food sales have been rising year over year for the past decade. According to the Organic Trade Association, the U.S. had $43.3 billion in organic sales in 2015 — that's an 11-percent increase over the previous year's sales.
Organic fruits and vegetables were the largest of all the major organic food categories. Produce raked in a total of $14.4 billion that year. The massive demand for organic produce is clear to see.
With the likelihood that organic sales will continue to rise in the future, starting an organic produce delivery business sounds like it could work.
3 steps to deciding if this business is viable
Lay the groundwork.
Plan out your organic produce delivery business.
Build an MVP website.
Read on for step-by-step instructions on proving whether an organic produce delivery business can work.
1. Lay the groundwork
When starting a new business, it's a good idea to scope out your potential competitors. You'll want to analyze which things they do well and decide what aspects you can replicate in your own business. It's also an opportunity to see if there is already an oversupply of organic produce delivery companies in your area, which could impact the success of your own business.
A few examples of organic produce delivery services include:
Plan B Organic Farms. Plan B is a 30-acre certified organic farm that grows vegetables, fruits, greens and herbs. They offer customizable boxes of organic produce that can be delivered or picked up depending on your location. While they own a farm themselves, they also source certified organic foods from other farmers to offer a wider variety to their customers.
Mama Earth Organics. Mama Earth Organics offers weekly baskets delivered with a mixture of fruits and vegetables. Baskets are customizable to your taste and can be scheduled for delivery based on your availability — in case you need to skip a week.
Local grocery stores. Your local grocer might deliver as well and they often stock some organic products. Search for local grocery delivery services on Google.
2. Plan out your organic produce delivery business
There are many factors to take into consideration when you start building a business for organic produce delivery.
How will you source the produce?
If you don't run a certified organic farm, you will need to build relationships with local farmers who can supply your produce at a competitive rate. Both quality and quantity will be very important. The success of your business relies on a quality product that arrives fresh. If your business is successful, can those suppliers increase production to provide you with enough produce?
Where will the produce be stored?
One of the biggest challenges in this line of business is produce storage. Where will you keep it before it gets delivered to your customers? You will likely need to rent a warehouse with refrigeration in order to store and pack your product. This can end up being a huge investment for you.
How will you deliver?
While some businesses only offer pickup, organic produce delivery will open up your business to more customers. Figuring out the most efficient way to make deliveries each week will become difficult. As you add more customers, the delivery routes increase in length and complexity. Each week, you will need to plan out the best route to save your drivers time and gas money.
How often should you deliver?
Most companies offer delivery weekly since most people plan out their grocery shopping and meals on a weekly basis. How often and on what day(s), you should offer delivery is a big decision. Delivering your produce on Monday sounds like a great idea for the customer because they'll have their fresh organic produce ready for the week ahead. However, this means that you and your staff will be working on weekends to ensure that the produce boxes are packed properly and ready to be shipped out early Monday morning.
3. Build an MVP website
Once you have figured out the nitty gritty details, it's time to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) website. Building a simple website will validate your business idea before you spend too much time and money on it.
[advertisement id="25749″]
Set up a landing page with your basic information, an overview of how your organic produce delivery service works, and your pricing structure. Use a simple recurring payment processor such as Stripe to take subscription payments. If you're using WordPress for your website, WP Simple Pay Pro is a plugin you can use to set up subscription payment forms on your website in minutes.
Begin pre-selling subscriptions to your new organic produce delivery business. One of the best ways to get the word out, is by posting your offerings on popular social networks like Facebook. If there's enough demand, then it's time to rent your warehouse, source your produce, and begin deliveries.
Your website can grow as your business grows. Developing a more in-depth website with special produce selection, scheduled delivery times and a user account page can all be done at a later time. You might want to hire a professional web developer — look here for tips.
A great time to be organic
Not only is the organic food business constantly growing, but so is home grocery delivery. Building a business that incorporates both can be a perfect pairing if done correctly. It's important to validate any idea before spending too much time and money on it. Creating your MVP website will allow you to test the demand in your area for organic produce delivery before investing further.

Atollic tools are now part of the STM32 family
The history
Atollic® was founded in 2003 by an experienced management team. The founders have extensive experience as managers and software developers from the embedded tools, automotive and aerospace industries.
During the early years of Atollic they were working as consultants for various segments. They quickly realized that the embedded software tools were lagging far behind the needs of the developers. Developers were struggling with ever increasing complexity of the products, while the development tools were focusing on solving the development needs of the past.
The TrueSTUDIO IDE was born out of the desire to bring a new generation of tools to Arm developers that would be scalable to meet the needs of individual developers and large development teams: tools that would assist developers in writing quality code and in managing their projects using best practices; tools that would give developers new insights into their systems and help them find and fix bugs faster.
On 12 December 2017 Atollic was acquired by STMicroelectronics to become a tools center to support STM32 development.

The problem with "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" — and it's a problem many fans have likely foreseen — is that it follows in the Middle-earth-shattering footsteps of a giant. Peter Jackson's masterfully assembled "Lord of the Rings" films, based on J. R. R. Tolkien's classic fantasy book series, arguably made for the greatest trilogy to have ever graced the silver screen: staggeringly epic, meticulous in its world-building, showered in Academy Awards and instantly amassing a legion of hardcore enthusiasts, it was a crowning achievement that, for some, was the true "Star Wars" of the noughties. By sheer comparison, this first entry in a three-part adaptation of Tolkien's more kiddy-friendly "The Hobbit," while boasting its own thrills and charms, comes up a little short — it's a hobbit pitted against a giant it couldn't possibly outmatch.
It's a comparison that might have been uncalled for if it weren't for the direct connections Jackson makes between this new prequel trilogy and the earlier films: a wholly unnecessary prologue finds Ian Holm's Bilbo Baggins and Elijah Wood's Frodo having a chat in the former's humble home, while Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Christopher Lee briefly return in a visit to the opulent Elven outpost Rivendell. Even some of the musical cues are the same: the re-introduction of the Shire is soundtracked by Howard Shore's whimsical piece "Concerning Hobbits," and the appearance of the one true "precious" ring is greeted with that ominous string melody from "The Prophecy."

Boston bombing sparks fear among univ. students, some with ties to race
Boston Marathon 2013
Garrett Gleason had been following his mother's progress in the Boston Marathon all Monday morning through text updates from the race's website.
His mom, Marilee Gleason, crossed the finish line about seven minutes before an explosion, followed by another, shattered windows and knocked runners and spectators to the ground, killing at least three people and injuring more than 100. As soon as a friend alerted the senior music major of the blasts, he began dialing and learned a few minutes later his mom and dad were safe.
"But those five minutes of two failed calls toward them were terrifying," said Gleason, whose parents were already driving out of the city when he reached them. "I know what happened with my mom was a coincidence, luck. She just squeezed through. I'm just so thankful. My concerns are going out to any runners who didn't get to finish but also any marathon watchers and families who were injured by it or affected at all."
Authorities did not know who or what was responsible for the incident as of Monday evening, President Obama said in a White House news conference, but officials would heighten security around the country "as necessary."
"Make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this, and we will find out who did this. We'll find out why they did this," Obama said. "Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice."
New York- and Washington-area police put additional officers on duty as a precaution, according to multiple reports. Prince George's County Police and University Police have also increased surveillance, though University Police reported there were no threats to the campus or area.
Officers found several other explosive devices near the marathon finish line, according to Associated Press reports. Police reported a third explosion at John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum about an hour later, but preliminary investigations indicated it appeared to be an unrelated fire, Boston police tweeted.
When the explosions hit shortly before 3 p.m., Gleason's parents were picking up his mother's medal about a quarter mile away from the finish line. They didn't have time to text or call their friends and family as they tried to get to safety, he said.
"Their concerns, I'm sure, were more about getting out of there and then getting in touch with everyone to let us know they were safe," Gleason said.
The 26.2-mile race is among the oldest annual marathons in the world. It is one of the city's biggest annual events, with more than 27,000 people from around the world participating in this year's marathon.
Images of blood on the streets and red cups scattered across water stations shocked senior Rosemary Starobin, who has volunteered at marathons and has cheered on her mother at past events. Several members of her mother's running group safely finished the Boston event, she said.
"[A marathon] is a milestone in your life; it's a big deal," the education and mathematics major said. "Everyone is there cheering on strangers. It's nothing but a positive place. It hurt me that someone would do this."
"To target people running in a marathon is just horrible," Starobin added.

Thru history we can found many examples of people whose desire to contribute to the public good have lead them to major developments or discoveries that have greatly benefit the entire humanity; it is also true that some important achievements like the development of banks have been reach during an attempt to achieve a personal goal. However the facts presented thru history of humankind reveal that is more likely for a person who seeks common welfare to do something that benefits the entire world. Don't the names of Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, etc., remind us of that?
We can find a good example of this embodied in the person of Martin Luther King Jr., who wanted to help African American people and whose efforts to contribute to the wellness of the society lead to the equality among people in America, creating a principle of human equality form which all modern nation now benefit.
We might not remember the times when Google didn't exist, when the more practical research tools were dictionaries and encyclopedias, but since the Google creators looked for and found a way that would help people to navigate thru the net, information has not just become more accessible to us but also the quantity of it we can access has tremendously increased. This is another good example of how persons who wanted the public good made a huge contribution to the world.
Moreover, one of the best examples we can find of how the contribution of someone who uses its intellectual capacities for the public good benefits the world, is represented in the form of politicians. Whose personals interests are left behind over those of the population, and yet they have contributed to the achievement of greater benefits for the nations and the humankind.
In conclusion it is more likely for someone who seeks common good to make something beneficial for the world than for someone who just want to achieve personal welfare, because that person will use his intellect and...

GALVESTON, Texas– A League City woman has pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography after accepting photos of a teenage girl, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Investigators said Tracey Bautista, 46, received several photos and videos of the 16-year-old using the popular messaging app Kik. The sender had been arrested for the promotion of child porn, the office said.
Authorities said Bautista acknowledged she had received of these images by responding with "nice" and "wow. good pic."
Text messages in which Bautista talked about an underage relative with the individual were also found, investigators said. She is accused of offering to get pictures of the teen before later sending photos of her with her breast exposed, authorities said.
Bautista is scheduled to appear in court for sentencing April 29.
She faces a minimum of five years and up to 20 years in federal prison, as well as a possible $250,000 fine. She was allowed to remain out on bond until the hearing.

According to the, Times of India, mobile gamers and fans of Bipasha Basu will see the starlet in three upcoming mobile phone games. In the Bollywood realm, Bipasha Basu oozes glamor. Today, software publisher Jump Games announced a two-year, worldwide contract with her to create and distribute mobile games featuring Bipasha Basu.
The first game to be released is, Bipasha Basu Jet Ski Champ. You can guess what this game is about. I'd like to know if she wears a wet suit, or something more revealing. "Through these games my fans will get to see the athletic, adventurous and skillful side of me," said Bipasha.
There are two more games under development. In one, Bipasha displays her physical prowess in a bowling simulation. In the other, she is a princess who must save the planet from galactic enemies. To date, it's unknown if the game will feature any dance numbers.
"Bipasha is one of the most successful celebrity brands around today and her personality lends wonderfully to games," Jump Games CEO Salil Bhargava was quoted as saying. "We are hopeful that the titles created for her do well,"
Good looking and a gamer's personality too. I think I'm in love.

Pricing & Negotiating: Still Life Shoot for Clothing Retailer
By Craig Oppenheimer, Wonderful Machine Producer
I was contacted recently by an East Coast photographer to help quote on a project for a well-known clothing retailer. The retailer's mid-sized ad agency had approached the photographer and shared layouts for a catalog promoting the following season's clothing line. The catalog would feature a combination of fashion portraits and still life pictures on seamless backgrounds. Our photographer, a still life specialist, was asked to just quote on the still life portion of the project which consisted of 23 pictures. The comps showed shirts, pants, shoes and accessories shot from above, on a flat surface, arranged as an outfit. Along with the layouts, the agency provided a detailed shot list specifying 3 days of shooting at a local studio.
A few days later, the photographer and I dialed into a creative call with the agency to learn more about the project. As with all creative calls, this was a great opportunity for the photographer to show his enthusiasm for the assignment, share creative ideas and convey confidence to the agency. During the conversation, we learned that the catalog was part of a much larger rebranding effort for their client that would help the brand reach a younger demographic. This was our first hint that the project may be a larger production than your typical studio catalog shoot.
Here's what we discussed on the creative call:
- We talked about the possibility of shooting variations where the clothes were stacked or organized more abstractly rather than the paper-doll way shown in the comp. We spent a lot of time talking about the look of the pictures. Clearly the styling was very important to the client.
- The licensing needed to include use of 23 images in the fall catalog and on the company's website for a period of 3 months.
- The agency wanted us to deliver the raw files from the shoot – organized, renamed and tweaked. Their in-house retoucher would finish them off.
- We would plan on a pre-light day so that we could hit the ground running on the first shoot day.
- Our wardrobe stylist would need to attend a "fit-day" to review the clothing with the client and agency. The stylist would also need a prep day to make any necessary alterations prior to the shoot.
- The client would provide all of the clothing and accessories but we might need to provide some minor props.
- They couldn't tell us how big the press run would be but given the client, we knew it would be huge (>1m)
With this information, I could start to put together some numbers. For a typical national catalog shoot, we normally quote $4,000-$6,000 a day for the creative fee including licensing. Catalog use is certainly advertising use (which might otherwise command a higher fee), but unlike other advertising that might show up in magazines or on billboards, catalog use is normally limited to the actual printed piece. And because of the nature of fashion, the images tend to have very short life spans and tend to require a lot of shoot days (both factors providing some downward pressure on the day rate). Some catalog work is so much about volume and so little about skill that rates can be as low as 1000.00 per day. In those cases, the work is usually done directly for the client (rather than through an ad agency)—and often using the client's studio and equipment.
In the mean time, we got another call from the agency explaining that they would like us to quote on broader licensing. In addition to the catalog use, they needed 3 months of paid advertising use and print collateral use. A few hours after that, I received another email saying that they now were planning on a 2-day shoot with licensing for just 12 images and they'd like to make it happen for under $100k.
I checked to see what our pricing guides suggested:
Blinkbid: For catalog, web use and print advertising Blinkbid quoted $11,550-$16,500 per image per year or (arguably) $2,887-$4,125 for 3 months. So in the neighborhood $30k for 12 images (factoring in a bit of a quantity discount).
FotoQuote: Their advertising and marketing pack for 3 months suggested a range of 13,728 and 27,456 for one image.
Getty Images: Using their Flexible Licensing, an Advertising Pack of print, outdoor and web for three months in the U.S. would be $12k per image.
Given such a short licensing duration (3 months), I think it's unlikely that the agency is going to make ads out of all 12 of those photos. So considering all that (not to mention the budget suggested by the client), I decided to price the first two images at 5,500 each and the remaining 10 at 2,000 each, which brought us to a total photography fee of $31,000.
We included the rates for an assistant and a digital tech for both shoot days as well as the pre-light day, and included a second assistant for just the shoot days. The photographer had a producer that he worked with regularly, and at his suggestion, we budgeted 7 days to account for his time to hire the crew, attend the shoot and manage all the post-shoot paperwork. (This seemed a little fat to me given the project.) I also included (at the request of the producer) a production assistant (also a little excessive). I budgeted 1200.00 for the photographer for the pre-light day (which in retrospect, might be a little thin.)
The stylist was just as important to the agency as the photographer, so we included rates for a seasoned soft goods stylist who would also be shopping for the supplemental props. The quote we received from the stylist broke out separate fees for their shoot days and prep days, and we included them as separate lines in the estimate. The stylist would be bringing their assistant and a tailor/seamstress to alter the clothing. We budgeted 4 prep days for the stylist – 2 to get props and 2 in the studio to prepare the clothes, make any necessary alterations, and set up at least the first couple of shots. The stylist assistant would handle the returns.
While the props were originally supposed to be minimal, the agency ended up sending over a few sample images of nice travel accessories and other items that they wanted to have on hand. For those props, we budgeted 2000.00. We included costs for seamless paper and foam core for the stylists to lay out the clothing on and pin it to if needed.
We would need the studio for the two shoot days, a pre-light day, and the additional wardrobe stylist prep day. The photographer also specified 5000.00/day for equipment rental. That might sound like a lot at first glance, but it would allow us to run 2 sets at a time so the stylists could be setting up one shot while we were shooting another.
I tend to include a nominal amount of crew overtime charges as a matter of course to avoid any surprises later. It also gives us some wiggle room in the budget in case other unexpected costs arise.
We also included a post-production day for the photographer to organize and do final tweaks, then deliver the raw files on a hard drive. (The ad agency would be handling the retouching themselves.)
I chose to add a line-item for insurance. It's customary on motion picture projects and increasingly on bigger still projects to add 1-2% to cover the cost of equipment insurance, liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance.
I budgeted 1250.00 for mileage, parking, messengers, etc. for all the little things that add up when running around town looking for props, picking up equipment, etc.
I always put "plus applicable sales tax." That covers me in all cases and it doesn't unnecessarily inflate my bottom line when we do have to charge it. I always spell out items that the client is going to provide (I forgot to mention that the client was going to do the retouching). And we normally expect to get at least half of the production expenses up front.
The whole project came in at $92k.

I heard a few days later that the client chose another photographer. But I wasn't able to get any more information than that.

Probably was rejected because of the 10k for the producer and the PA. What exactly would they be doing on a still life studio shoot that the stylist, photographer, and their people weren't already doing? Should have followed your instinct.
What a well written recount of a bid. I have been doing this for a lot of years and I learned from this. Very well done! It was also nice to see where you get your reference for usage fees. I usually lean on my experience with usage and budgets, what the photographer expects, and then what info the client gives me. So to also have these three sites to refer to is new info to me. I have not seen these articles give specific prices so I know we all appreciate that. I learned from your usage breakdown of ads being a different price for the first two images. What a great idea. We can be so creative with bids, and your detailed process reminds me how to open my mind for each unique one. For me bidding is fun, and what you wrote out here was so well done even for someone not new at this.
@MGPeach – A Producer, (Wonderful Machine) in this case, is an integral part of any "large" Production. In most cases – the Producer doesn't attend the actual Photo Shoot because they are too busy planning and "producing" the photographers next – large Production. Any REAL photography studio has a full time Producer or at least one on speed dial. I gotta say – I expect that comment from an under-experienced client – "I'll be your assistant … I can carry your gear," but from a practicing photographer? Please – don't spread or believe that Stereotype. Photographer, Assistant, Digital Tech, H&MU, the list goes on …. and each one is so important to any successful – Production. Sorry to preach – but it's gotta be said.
This is great! Really useful breakdown and like Andrea said, really interesting to see the 2 vs. 10 image licensing fees. Thanks especially for the train of thought behind the numbers, much appreciated.
Must feel pretty shitty to "share" a bunch of creative ideas with the client…and still not get the job. I'm sure the client respected the creator and took none of them to the cheapest guy.
Giving a treatment is part and parcel of any high dollar work. Better to do that than be a button pushing guy with a camera.
I think I might know who the retailer was. I was approached by a company representing a "high-end" retailer from the east cost for an effort to re-brand etc. They were looking for me to handle/produce many big volume books and deliver entire thing including creative direction and retouching of images. We are a small agency and could not have delivered what they needed. I suggested we would outsource retouching and handle creative and photography (hiring) but they wanted one production company to handle all of the work flow. I hope to approach them sometime in the future.
I usually only lurk but had to say something. This is so far out of any catalog budget I have ever heard of I can hardly believe you didn't get laughed off the phone on the spot. We've done catalogs for years and know lots of shooters who do the same. That and us are not hacks requiring little or no talent to do the job and I know West Coast prices maybe be lower than NYC but if you all can get usage like your talking just for catalog, I say more power to you.
Perhaps you have such a unique and and amazing vision you feel you can pull this off but I have to believe for catalog still-life you shot for the moon and fell to earth.
Agreed. Way too much for a still life catalog shoot. There weren't even any models. Over the years, putting together budgets, I have never encountered anything remotely close to 91K for a catalog shoot. (Our average on my last job was $15,000/day on location.) And it looks like in the end it was only 12 shots. I think the larger national retailers in our area (west coast) are paying around $2000-$3000/day for about 6-8 shots a day on location and that includes all usage. Even with the agency, I wouldn't be able to justify $5000/day for still life catalog.
Also, I would have probably negotiated the ad usage separately. Grant them the usage for catalog and then let them know what the cost per image is for advertising. If we generalize too much, then no one can take our rates seriously. I think the fact that you got 3 different usages from 3 different sources, may be the beginning of the problem with usage fees. There's no authority. Everyone's just trying to get the highest average fee and when that doesn't work, then the bargaining begins.
Here in Italy you can be happy if a client accepts a budget 1/10 of that
In South Africa $2.5 K if you were incredibly lucky , but our costing is driving a lot of good photographers into other businesses , anybody wanting to buy a house in Durban , South Africa please call :-)
That said with some levity of course , your costing methods are fantastic and it is great if you guys can get fees anywhere close.
In addition to really crappy money as above we have to give up all rights to our images , i see my food photos appearing month after month year after year in Southern Africa , on posters , in store, in pamphlets , online and on calenders all for a once off payment of just over $1000 per day .
So a warning to all of you professionals over there , keep up your costing methods and charging for usage otherwise you will end up where we are today , doing 2 jobs.
Thanks for posting this great breakdown and write up of the thoughts and strategy involved in this estimate. The client wrote they wanted to do the job for under 100K, so I guess they set the bar at a specific level based on their expectations/extravagance. Personally, I believe what should be a simple straightforward shoot became overly complicated. The client provides the clothes, stylist helps prepare, arrange, and pack clothes for return, and photographer uses similar lighting for all shots. One digital tech/retouch (3 days), one assistant. One prep day, two shoot days, one wrap day. — of course I'm writing this based on superficial assumptions. I think this job could be done with deluxe treatment for under 30K. My two cents, I think the photographer could produce this job (schedule permitting) as it doesn't appear very involved.
I read the notes that say volume/$1000 and the client expectations etc. But I would still argue that our job is to educate clients about what jobs should cost. Though normally that means, "It really should be more." Sometimes with young AD's and art buyers, used to doing advertising or even on figure work, it would behoove one to talk about what is the norm for certain types of work. Charging additional usage for still life catalog work is is no way ever the norm for catalog work no matter how one parses it. I would argue that someone got back to their client with that 100K budget for 23 catalog still life images (or the client talked to their boss) and after that person dropped his or her coffee cup they sputtered to their agency something like-"I've never paid that much for a catalog still life shoot, nor even when Irving Penn did it." ;-)
@Don Cudney, not every shoot requiers a producer. I sure as hell know I'm a REAL photographer and I have done plenty of 5 figure shoots with AND without producers. It really depends on the scope of the production. If I had my druthers and every client had the budget, I would have a producer on every shoot. It makes my life much simpler, but we know not every client has the budget. So, we adapt and improvise wherever we can.
Im not sure why there is talk about this being over quoted. The client provided a budget of 100K so I think they had a certain level of production in mind. Sounds to me like the estimate was written accordingly. I would agree about the producer. Might have been more than needed, but I havent all the facts.
As for the different pricing from Photoquote, Blinkbid and Getty, I'm not sure why there was the gulf in pricing between BB and PQ, because BB uses PQ. Getty is a great resource, but I also know first hand that if an art buyer gets X pricing from the Getty Site (RM of course) that they can then get on the phone with a Getty sales person and talk them down substantially. Getty haggles.
To everyone saying this job was overpriced, I don't think most of you understand usage or what type of Catalog this was going to be. This obviously was more of a Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom type catalog, that is a high-end advertisement for the company as opposed to a "mailer" type catalog that is shot weekly for Dept. stores like Dillard's. If the client was asking to stay under 100K, then they knew this was going to cost them. Everyone charges differently, I may have come in a little bit lower that this, but based on what the client asked for, I believe this estimate was in line with what it should have been.
Those are well paid assistants. Where was this work taking place?
Cracks me up all the BS people making comments about how they have done $15k/day jobs and 5 figure jobs yet when I look at their websites I just don't believe it at all!
Try adding to the conversation rather than making one of those safe and easy internet insults that so often creep into comment sections. Where's your website, Jason?
Where I am in Sweatshop South East Asia, it'd be a laugh to get even $1200 for what you just described. And that includes the wardrobe stylist.
It is ridiculous. I should get into some other businesses.

My fourth grade class took a field trip into Chinatown. Our guide was well-suited for a bunch of nine year olds, starting off by telling us to keep our eyes peeled for a dragon. Not any old dragon, of course. Chinatown is full of dragons. No, this one would be golden, lying down with a ball in its claw. A special prize awaited whoever found the dragon first.
We all started looking around immediately, and one kid shouted "There it is!"
He was pointing at a picture of a green dragon standing on its hind feet with no ball in sight.
At our next stop the guide told us that there was a magical wish-granting statue just inside the door; if you rubbed it and made a wish, your wish would come true. Everyone rubbed it on the way in. My wish? To be the first to find the dragon.
Our last stop took us into a little shop. We filed to the front and everyone kept their eyes on our guide as he explained something else unique to Chinatown. For some reason, though, I turned to look behind us.
"I see it! I see the dragon," I said. It wasn't a picture, but a statue about 8 feet long underneath one of the windows. Golden, lying on its stomach, a gold ball in its claw.
My wish came true. I haven't the foggiest recollection what I ended up winning.
Best Wishes
I'm careful about wishes. I don't make them and I try not to use the word even as an expression. God isn't a God of wishes but of hope.
But does that mean wishes aren't real? It depends on what you mean by wishes.
If what you mean is that a nine year old boy who's fairly observant and whose attention is focused on a goal might be able to spot the dragon before his classmates, and that his abilities and efforts and desires find their expression in a wish, then yes I think wishes have some substance.
Or if what you mean is that there is some sort of benign magic that comes into play, like a magical statue or a Fairy Godmother, I have my doubts.
But if what you mean is that sometimes things happen for purposes beyond our ken, then I think you're really on to something. Magicians – not stage illusionists but people who truly believe in calling up spirits and employing the supernatural – are delving into something as real as the food I had for breakfast.
"Do not believe every spirit," John tells his friends, "but test the spirits to see whether they are from God." (1 John 4:1.) C.S. Lewis must have had that in mind when he wrote the dialog between his hero Ransom and the antagonist Weston in Perelandra:
"Look here," said Ransom, "one wants to be careful about this sort of thing. There are spirits and spirits you know."
"Eh?" said Weston. "What are you talking about."
"I mean a thing might be a spirit and not good for you."
"But I thought you agreed that Spirit was the good – the end of the whole process. I thought you religious people were all out for spirituality. What is the point of asceticism – fasts and celibacy and all that? Didn't we agree that God is a spirit? Don't you worship him because he is pure spirit?"
"Good heavens, no! We worship him because he is wise and good. There's nothing specially fine about simply being a spirit. The Devil is a spirit."
A Wish By Any Other Name
I don't think that every time someone says "I wish …" they're calling upon Satan's powers, consciously or unconsciously. But to use the phrase does indicate a certain understanding about God. Or perhaps a misunderstanding.
You see, when we say we put our hope in God we are not saying we wish everything will turn out right. We are saying that we trust him.
We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you. (Psalm 33:20-22.)
The psalmist isn't saying he hopes God is big enough and powerful enough and loving enough to help. He's saying that God already is all those and more, and that's why it is right to put our hope in him.
Hope: it's not a matter of wishing for something to be true, but trusting the One who is true.
That's better than a magical wish-granting statue.

The following troubleshooting information can be used to help troubleshoot Configuration Manager 2007 Setup issues.
The Stand-Alone Setup Prerequisite Checker Fails to Verify Installation Prerequisites on SQL Server Named Instances
When running the Setup Prerequisite Checker from the Configuration Manager 2007 installation splash screen (splash.hta) to verify installation prerequisites for SQL Server named instances, you receive the following error:
There was an error with the specified hostname. You must specify a valid NetBIOS hostname.
This is a known issue. To verify installation prerequisites before beginning Configuration Manager Setup, you must do so manually or use the /Prereq Setup command-line option. To use the /Prereq Setup command-line option to verify installation prerequisites for SQL Server named instances, use the following command:
Setup /Prereq /Pri /SQL <SQL Server Name\Instance Name>.
|During site installation, the Setup Prerequisite Checker, run as part of the Configuration Manager Setup Wizard, is capable of verifying required Setup prerequisites on SQL Server named instances.
Setup Fails to Install SMS Provider Components
When using the Configuration Manager Setup Wizard to install a Configuration Manager 2007 primary site, setup might fail when attempting to install SMS Provider components and display an error dialog. When the SMS Provider installation error dialog is closed, the Configuration Manager Setup Wizard exits automatically. The ConfigMgrSetup.log file may also record an entry similar to the following:
|Copy Code
<date time>CompileMOFFile: Failed to compile MOF <install dir\i386\smsRprt.mof, error -2147217407
This error usually occurs when attempting to install the site database on a remote SQL Server named instance configured to use a domain user account to run the SQL Server service.
This error results from incorrect Active Directory service principal name (SPN) registration of the SQL Server service account for the SQL Server named instance.
To resolve this error, use the following procedure.
To resolve Configuration Manager Setup SMS Provider installation failure
Start the Configuration Manager Setup Wizard, and select the Uninstall a Configuration Manager site server option to uninstall Configuration Manager components that were installed as part of the failed setup.
Register a Service Principal Name (SPN) for the domain user account configured to run the SQL Server service for the remote SQL Server named instance. For more information about registering an SPN for the SQL Server service account, see How to Configure an SPN for SQL Server Site Database Servers.
Note Both the NetBIOS name and the FQDN name for the SQL Server computer must be registered during SQL Server service account SPN registration.
Restart Configuration Manager Setup, and continue with Configuration Manager primary site installation.
Setup Fails to Communicate with a Remotely Installed SQL Server Named Instance
When installing Configuration Manager, you might receive the following error: Could not connect or execute SQL query. This issue can occur for several reasons, including the following:
- The remote SQL Server computer specified to
host the site database is not online.
- The user account running Configuration
Manager Setup is not a member of the SQL Server instance sysadmin
database role.
Note By default, local administrators are automatically added to the sysadmin database role of the SQL Server instance. However, a SQL Server best practice is to remove the Builtin\Administrators group from the SQL Server sysadmin database role.
- The remote SQL Server SQL Server Browser
service is not started.
This issue can usually be resolved by taking one of the following actions:
- Ensure the remote SQL Server is online and
accessible over the network.
- Add the domain user account configured to run
the SQL Server service for the SQL Server instance to the local
administrators group on the remote SQL Server computer, or add the
account to the sysadmin database role of the SQL Server instance if
the Builtin\Administrators group has been removed from the sysadmin
database role of the SQL Server instance specified to install the
site database.
- Enable the SQL Server Browser service on the
remote SQL Server computer. The SQL Server browser service is
required to enumerate installed SQL Server instances remotely.

History of the Blanket Exercise
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise was recently endorsed as a "Successful Practice and Resource" by Indspire, a national Indigenous-led registered charity that invests in the education of Indigenous people for the long term benefit of these individuals, their families and communities, and Canada.
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise program is a unique, interactive and participatory history lesson developed in collaboration with Indigenous Elders, knowledge keepers and educators.
Developed in response to the Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples in 1996 –which recommended education about Canadian-Indigenous history as one of the key steps to reconciliation — the KAIROS Blanket Exercise (KBE) covers more than 500 years in a 90-minute experiential workshop that aims to foster understanding about our shared history as Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Since its creation, the Exercise has been updated several times to include new information such as the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation final report.
During the KBE, participants walk on blankets representing the land and into the role of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples by reading scrolls and carrying cards which ultimately determine their outcome as they literally 'walk' through situations that include pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and resistance. Participants are guided through the experience by trained facilitators (who read the script and assume the roles of European explorers and settlers) and Indigenous Elders or knowledge keepers. The Exercise concludes with a debriefing, conducted as a `talking circle', during which participants discuss the learning experience, process their feelings, ask questions, share insights and deepen their understanding.
Since its creation in 1997, tens of thousands of KAIROS Blanket Exercises have been conducted in Canada and around the world, including in the United States, Guatemala, and Australia. By engaging participants on both emotional and intellectual levels, the KBE is able to both educate and create understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples … in Canada and throughout the world!
Watch the Blanket Exercise in action.

Broncos and Rabbitohs play captaincy cards close to their chests
SOUTH Sydney and Brisbane were keeping the identity of their respective captains a mystery before their big clash in Sydney tonight.
In a twist of fate both Greg Inglis and Corey Parker were charged after Wednesday night's State of Origin game, Parker missing the first game in his 300-plus career from suspension for an elbow on NSW fullback James Tedesco.
Neither club would publicly reveal their replacements, with many believing Parker's fill-in could be Andrew McCullough, or even Kiwi enforcer Adam Blair, who coach Wayne Bennett handed the reins to last month.
"No, I'm not, I won't be," said McCullough after training yesterday when congratulated by the media, who expected he'd get the captaincy nod.
"I'm just filling into today because a few of the boys have had a big week with Origin."
Normally coach Wayne Bennett would face the media but he handed over training to his assistant Stephen Kearney so he could attend a funeral.
McCullough said Parker would be a "massive loss" for Brisbane.
"He is our captain and he puts his hand up every week. He also takes those tough, hard runs when we're coming out of the back end of the field, which is something we're going to miss.
"To play that many games in the forwards and never be suspended is pretty rare but that's how it goes and someone has to fill the job he does for us."
The Broncos have suffered a double blow, also losing fellow State of Origin star Matt Gillett, but the rest of their Origin players, Darius Boyd, Corey Oates and Sam Thaiday, are all expected to take the field.
Souths will be hard hit losing Inglis, especially given his form in the third Origin in Sydney, which suggested he was ready to play his best football this season and ignite South Sydney's charge towards the finals.
Inglis is a massive loss on a number of fronts but coach Michael Maguire was keeping his options open, with players like Dane Nielsen and Bryson Goodwin in the mix in a backline reshuffle.
The expected return of halfback Adam Reynolds could also help offset losing Inglis for three games after he was suspended for a shoulder charge on NSW opposite Josh Dugan, who suffered a broken jaw and will be out for up to six weeks.
Rabbitohs forward Nathan Brown meanwhile bristled at suggestions South Sydney's season was done and dusted with just five wins from 16 games, leaving them in a precarious 12th place on the ladder, six points or three wins behind the eighth-placed St George-Illawarra.
"No, not at all," Brown said.
"We're staying very positive. The bye (last week) has done us good, we've freshened up and got plenty of energy.
