Editor's noteAuthor Michael BrownSource: Diabetes Lifestyle 2016 (2016)More Less
In this digital age, data is the new gold. We live in a 'connected world', linked by an 'internet of things'. Every time we make a phone call, send an SMS, logon to a website, use an 'app', walk down the road with a cell phone in our pocket, or open a 'smart' refrigerator, little packets of data are sent and received. 'Big Brother' is here... Years ago now, marketers quickly figured out the utility of this data, using it to track our web-surfing habits, our interests, our current location and our usual daily routes and hang-outs.
Giving back : the CDE Diabetes FoundationAuthor Peter BlackSource: Diabetes Lifestyle 2016 (2016)More Less
Diabetes is emerging as a national and international emergency; as the prevalence of diabetes rises dramatically, the burdens on individuals and on funders of healthcare (governments and medical aids) become more significant. As a responsible civil society, and as responsible companies, we need to do more than 'the usual'. We need to make a difference.
Out of sweetness has come my strength... : living with diabetesAuthor Mpolokeng MudauSource: Diabetes Lifestyle 2016, pp 8 –12 (2016)More Less
I am a 29-year-old mother of 2, Takalani and Unarine, and happily married to a wonderful man, Tshudufhadzo. I was born in the small town of Thaba Nchu, 60 km from Bloemfontein. I discovered that I had diabetes, when I was 7 months pregnant with my son. I didn't fully understand what that diagnosis meant, but I knew it was serious - my gynaecologist phoned me around 19h00 and told me to come to the hospital immediately! Being me, I negotiated and told him that I will be there the next morning at 05h00, which I honoured.

Foot care in the context of diabetes is always important. But, cold and the possible winter extremes of humidity in South Africa, ranging from the Highveld dryness to the rainy Western Cape, can increase the risk of diabetes-related foot problems and make foot health an even bigger challenge.
Some practical aspects of insulin injection : living with diabetesAuthor Leila MayetSource: Diabetes Lifestyle 2016, pp 30 –33 (2016)More Less
If you take insulin for diabetes control, your doctor would have prescribed the type/s and dose/s of insulin best suited to your lifestyle, your type and duration of diabetes and your finances. Your diabetes nurse educator would have coached you through coming to terms with this therapy and guided you on insulin action profiles, injection technique, storage of insulin and sites for injection.
10 Commandments for better diabetes self-care : living with diabetesAuthor David SegalSource: Diabetes Lifestyle 2016, pp 34 –36 (2016)More Less
Managing diabetes is a challenging task requiring dedication and commitment to performing certain self-care behaviours that have been proven over time to maintain good blood glucose control. The following compilation of behaviours is derived from thousands of interviews with hundreds of people living with diabetes. Individuals who succeed in managing their diabetes, tend to adhere to more than a few of these behaviours.
CDE Club Partners - introducing your Daily Dietitian : living with diabetesSource: Diabetes Lifestyle 2016, pp 38 –39 (2016)More Less
With misleading food labels such as 'carb free', 'fat free' and 'no added sugars, it's easy to confuse real food with high calorie, low nutrient imitations. It is therefore not surprising that we struggle to control our blood glucose levels, lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Daily, we are pushed towards buying 'convenient' and 'inexpensive' meals that cost us more than we expected - our health! Luckily, Daily Dietitian makes healthy eating easy for you!

Diabetes mellitus and 'the big C'... : living with diabetesAuthor Jay NarainsamySource: Diabetes Lifestyle 2016, pp 52 –53 (2016)More Less
Mrs NP is 63 years old and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus 5 years ago. Before referral to specialist care, her blood glucose was suboptimal, with an HbA1c of 8.5 %. She had no features of chronic complications. At her first visit to me, she complained of ongoing abdominal pain with episodes of constipation followed by diarrhoea. There was no fresh or digested blood in her stools. This complaint of constipation followed by overflow diarrhoea led me to consider that her symptoms could be due to a malignant mass in her colon. I referred Mrs NP to a gastroenterologist for further investigation and she underwent a colonoscopy. The results revealed that she had cancer of the colon, but fortunately, there was no evidence that the cancer had spread. Mrs NP underwent surgery soon after with no complications.

It has been just eight years since Iwan Baan began photographing architecture, but the way he sees the world has already made him a big name. His striking aerial photograph of Manhattan divided by the post-Sandy power outage quickly became an iconic image. "The Way We Live," a solo exhibition of Baan's lush large-scale images of cities and their people and buildings, opens this week at the Perry Rubenstein Gallery in Los Angeles.
Baan's grandmother gave him a camera for his birthday when he was 12. "I was completely fascinated," he said of the camera. But within a week, he had traded it in for a better one. He started working with architects when a friend told him about an exhibition that Rem Koolhaas was presenting in a big round tent in Brussels. Baan, who is Dutch, had been making panoramic photos and offered to document the exhibition. Koolhaas's CCTV building was under construction in Beijing at the time, and Baan decided to follow its progress. "I wanted to see how these gigantic projects got built in China," he says. "The crews are enormous. Small cities are created on site because the workers come from far away. I was struck by the way people still seem to live normal lives even though they are sometimes completely disconnected from their surroundings."
That connection to the human side of architecture sets Baan apart from his peers. While he has photographed many well-known buildings, he is equally fascinated by the vernacular. His photographs of the Torre David in Caracas (for which he won a Golden Lion award at the Venice Architecture Biennale) are a focus of the exhibition. The skyscraper, built for Venezuela's largest bank, was left unfinished when its developer died in 1993 and Venezuelan banks collapsed the following year. Because of an acute housing shortage in the city, locals quickly moved in, fashioning their own living spaces from the partially constructed concrete shell. "The people made a completely vertical city," Baan says. "Because it's self-governed, it was very safe, except for the fact that there were often no handrails."
The exhibition is on view at Perry Rubenstein Gallery in Los Angeles through April 13.
An earlier version of this post misquoted Iwan Baan. He did not sell a photograph the first week after being given a camera at age 12; he sold the camera itself.

text: Bayou Solar installed a solar pool pump system, a thermal system and a solar system on our house. We are thrilled to be producing clean energy and excited for our pool pump to be off the grid completely!Bayou Solar has proved to be a professional and reliable partner in the residental Solar Energy field. Extremely favorable tax benefits combined with Bayou Solar's knowledgable staff has allowed our family to realize Solar energy usage in our home. Our 5kw system produces about 700kwh per month and together with our solar pool pump system, has resulted in back-to-back $25 and $35 electricity bills. I would certainly recommend Bayou Solar to friends and family and will very likely be doing business with Bayou Solar again in the near future.For a long time, I wanted to install solar on my house, and the right time came of course with the start of the very generous tax credits given by the State and the Federal Government. I did the thermal solar first in May of 2009, followed by a photo voltaic solar system shortly next, and last September 2010, I added a solar system that runs my swimming pool filtration free of electricity. I am very satisfied with the installed systems and with the company, Bayou Solar, and will be very happy to recommend to any one this company and these solar systems. I can't say enough good things about going solar thermal, and about how easy it was to work with your company. My system is over 4 years old since April, 2009, and it hasn't missed a beat or had any problems whatsoever. As you know, energy rates seriously increased in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and before I had this system installed, I was seeing energy bills in the $600 range monthly, winter and summer. Now my highest bill in summer is solely due to my air conditioning and is about $350 at its highest. In winter, my bill rarely touches $120, which is the best proof of how efficient this system is. The other praise I have is for how easy it was to work with you. You explained every step, did what you said you would do when you said you would do it, and you gave a fine explanation of how the system works when you were done and before you left. I've been recommending you to everyone I know. Thanks again for a great job!I am happy to give any one who asks a recommendation for you. You did an outstanding job and I am very happy with the system. I particularly liked the fact that you were here personally. I felt very comfortable and confident with your company.I am soooooo happy with my solar power system. After the install, March 2010, all my electric bills have been $10 per month (connection fee). As of August 1st 2010, CLECO owed me 780 KWH. Maintenance has been almost nothing, just two weeks in the spring when the oak trees were flowering. Twice I had to spray the panels with water to clean off the pollen. Yes, I could have just waited for it to rain but I wanted max power output and it only took five minutes. I couldn't wait to get my tax refunds the year after so we could install the next 4KW section. Why more? I'll need it when I use my tax returns to buy a plug in electric car. Then, with no power and gasoline bills, I can actually think about retiring a couple of years sooner than I originally planned. Life is good and the forecast from Bayou Solar is very sunny for years to come.

It's the eve of my Moral Studies paper, more commonly known as Pendidikan Moral. As a student with enough good sense to not fail such a plain-sailing paper, I have already taken the pains to prepare for it. I have the one and only key to acing it – by memorizing 36 sentences (moral values and their definitions) and their keywords. I can recite them flawlessly, half-conscious of the stream of words rolling down my tongue, but don't get me wrong – it didn't take an hour for me to do it. I am simply adept at summoning concentration. I truly think that most students can do it too if they put their minds to it. But I digress.
Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan
Keyakinan wujudnya Tuhan sebagai pencipta alam dan mematuhi segala suruhan-Nya berlandaskan pegangan agama masing-masing selaras dengan prinsip Rukun Negara
Never mind that I am an atheist. Never mind that most Malaysians probably don't adhere to the fourth line of the Rukun Negara. I typed that down, verbatim. I never hesitated. This is what the Malaysian education system is creating. I am neutral and undecided on Pendidikan Moral (PM) subject, but I have a bone to pick with the paper that we sit for in SPM. It is a compulsory paper and any educator who has a shred of concern for the future of our Malaysian children will be surprised at the level of maturity the paper-setters have. Even the slightest mismatch in the 'answer format' will penalise the candidate. Never mind that the candidate is intelligent, mature and morally upright. One may argue that it is common for candidates to be penalized for not following the exam format in other papers. But think about it – is there any other paper that has a format so rigid and so merciless? Not to mention that this is a paper for a subject that is most subjective in nature, with literature spanning centuries and its questions plaguing the minds of philosophers ever since we can remember.
Bersikap tidak keterlaluan dalam membuat pertimbangan sama ada dalam pemikiran, pertuturan atau perlakuan tanpa mengabaikan kepentingan diri atau orang lain
Then there are people who claim that what you memorize will be ingrained in your habits and behaviour. I wouldn't claim to know any research done on this. There has been increasing support for 'fun learning', as opposed to rote learning. I do not wish to dismiss the benefits of both methods, but my general opinion is this: Rote learning must be emphasised in the early stages while accommodating a fair amount of 'fun learning'. Just as there must be solid foundation before you build a skyscraper that will reach the heavens, memorization has a place in the heart of education. In this case however, you have 16, 17 and 18-year-olds – pretty big boys and girls from what I can see – who are sitting for the paper. Is this how we teach our children? Do we imbue a sense of achievement and love for education by compelling children to memorize things that are, frankly not helpful in any way at all? Will memorizing these definitions make a person more moral? I did it, but I don't feel any more virtuous, nor do I feel any revelation when I recite the list of moral values. What do you say to that?

By the way, if you get one word wrong, you are not even entitled to half a mark. Zero. Zip. Zilch.
Although throughout 2 years of upper secondary education, the kids are not forced to recite the 36 definitions in the classroom, although there may be teachers who actually do that. Usually, they are told to go home and memorize it for their exams. I say this because I do not wish to create the misconception that we chant those verses like monks all day long. Here, it is very tempting to ignore the problem and you may want to say that I am making a mountain of a molehill. Unfortunately you are sorely mistaken.
Citing a case study, Namasoo said that none of the about 100 non-Muslim students who sat the SPM at the SMK Tarcisian Convent in Ipoh had obtained an A+ for Moral Studies.
"Some 38 students sent their papers for a re-check but their grades were only upgraded one notch higher than their previous result. These students scored A+ for Moral studies for their trials and even scored A+ for tougher subjects such as Maths and Physics," he said.
Welcome to Malaysia. Where candidates who have worked their asses off for all of their subjects, including Pendidikan Moral, are disqualified for a government scholarship. 559 candidates of SPM 2011 scored straight A+s. That is the highest score one can achieve, equivalent to a 4.0 GPA. So you see the conundrum. Students are being unfairly stymied based on the stupidest paper in the history of the Malaysian education system. The general consensus is that this is an issue of race (and religion; the two inextricably intertwined in Malaysia) but I will not wade into those dark waters. It is a topic for another time and another piece of my mind.
While I do not object to the syllabus that is being taught for Moral, I hope that this dastardly paper is pulled off the SPM slate. It is an embarrassment to the progress of the nation and the recently tabled blueprint that has been diagung-agungkan by the ministry, one that has also come under a lot of fire for reasons that have beset Malaysians for eons.
Then again it's okay, our education system is one of the best in the world.

Business Regulation Saw Marked Improvement Worldwide in 2012, World Bank Finds
An annual World Bank report finds that there was an 18% improvement worldwide in 2012 in the number of government reforms aimed at making it easier to do business. The report documents 238 business regulatory reforms by 114 governments last year, up from 201 reforms by 108 economies in 2011, and finds that the pace of reforms such as streamlining import and export processes and lowering the amount of time needed to start a business continues to accelerate following the financial crisis of 2008–09. "The economies with the most costly and complex procedures and the weakest institutions are gradually adopting some of the regulatory practices seen in the better performers," said one official, "and this is leading to a process of catching up across many of the dimensions captured by the Doing Business indicators."
According to the World Bank, this report analyzes regulations that apply to an economy's businesses during their life cycle. The ten indicator sets evaluated are starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, paying taxes, trading across borders, getting credit, protecting investors, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. This year's report also features a case study on the implementation of electronic trade single windows in Singapore, Colombia and Azerbaijan.
Highlights of the report include the following.
- Singapore tops the global ranking on the ease of doing business, followed by Hong Kong, New Zealand, the U.S., Denmark, Malaysia, Korea, Georgia, Norway and the United Kingdom.
- The economies that have improved the most over the past year are (in order of improvement) Ukraine, Rwanda, Russia, the Philippines, Kosovo, Djibouti, Côte d'Ivoire, Burundi, Macedonia and Guatemala. Yet five of these – Burundi, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, the Philippines and Ukraine – are still in the bottom half of the global rankings.
- Since 2005, certain economies have emerged as regional champions in regulatory reform efforts: China in East Asia and the Pacific, Colombia in Latin America and the Caribbean, Rwanda in sub-Saharan Africa, and Poland in the OECD.
- The 31 high-income economies of the OECD focused their reform efforts on easing business entry and exit and improving tax administration. Only 26 total reforms were implemented over the past year, but 336 have been recorded since 2005, led by Portugal with 24 and the Czech Republic and Poland with 22 each.
- Europe and Central Asia continued its strong pace of regulatory reform, with 19 economies implementing 65 reforms. Since 2005 all 26 of the region's economies have recorded a total of 477 reforms, an average of 18 per country that is significantly higher than any other region. As a result, this region is now the second-most business friendly after the OECD and catching up, with scores at the same level in three of the ten areas measured by the report and close behind in another two.
- Twice as many economies in sub-Saharan Africa made at least one reform in 2012 (66%) compared to 2005 (33%). Out of the 20 economies around the world that have most improved business regulation since 2009, nine are in this region: Benin, Burundi, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Togo.
- In East Asia and the Pacific, 15 of 25 economies implemented at least one business regulatory reform over the past year (for a total of 25) and 96% have done so since 2005. Vietnam led the way with 21 reforms during that period, followed by China with 18. Laos, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Cambodia and the Solomon Islands are making good progress narrowing the gap with global good practices.
- 75% of the eight economies in South Asia implemented at least one reform, compared to 38% a year earlier. India has recorded 17 reforms since 2005, followed by Sri Lanka with 16.
- In Latin America and the Caribbean, 17 of 32 economies enacted reforms, the highest number in four years. Since 2005 Colombia has implemented the largest number of reforms with 27, followed by Mexico with 18.
- Continued political and civil unrest has contributed to the slowing of business regulatory reform in the Middle East and North Africa, where 40% of countries implemented at least one reform over the past year and 14 total reforms were enacted. Since 2005, Egypt has paced the region with 23 reforms, followed by Saudi Arabia with 19 and Morocco with 18.
- Only three of 12 economies in the Caribbean (the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago) implemented a total of six regulatory reforms, though 11 of the 12 have taken such action since 2005. The Dominican Republic has narrowed the gap with global good practices the most in that time.

I have spent hours standing on and strolling along the famed Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy, first as a hitchhiking student in the 1950s, then as a frequent visitor to the city of the Renaissance.
When I heard that a restaurant called Ponte Vecchio had recently opened in a stretch of Fort Lauderdale`s Commercial Boulevard where there are already more than a few eating spots, I naturally hastened to the newest kid on the block.
The trip began with an aperitif at one of my favorite bars in the area, one that is especially suitable for chilly evenings -- the second floor lounge at The Raindancer. I like the brick-wood design, the friendliness of the staff, the presence of the fireplace -- which has real wood burning, not gas or revolving red lights.
From there we crossed the street and headed for Ponte Vecchio, wondering if we would find an old bridge theme, something with Florentine finery or maybe a simple mom and pop red-checked tablecloth trattoria.
We knew it was not a pizzeria but were surprised to find a rather formally bedecked ristorante: one with a tuxedoed staff, attractive table appointments, good linens, greenery, flowers and walls filled with murals of the Old Country. There were depictions of beautiful bays and pastoral settings, but where was the Ponte Vecchio? Where was the Arno, that 140-mile-long river that rushes from the Apennines to the Ligurian sea, occasionally overflowing its banks and causing incredible damage (as I witnessed one year when the churches and cathedrals of Florence were flooded, Giotto paintings were damaged and several of the Ghiberti panels were torn away, almost lost forever)?
Not even the menu exploits the name, unless I miss the significance of the sweet young girl on the cover. She`s portrayed standing in a field of flowers at the side of a cliff, watching swans over a rising (or a setting) sun. No matter. What we found inside the menu was of much greater importance.

In a sign of growing concern in Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's government over US President Barack Obama's Middle East policies, Minister-without-Portfolio Yossi Peled proposed Israeli sanctions on the US in a letter to cabinet ministers on Sunday.Uh.... hmm.... I... Uh...
In the 11-page letter, obtained by The Jerusalem Post from a minister on Monday, Peled recommends steps Israel can take to compensate for the shift in American policy, which he believes has become hostile to Israel.
"Obama's ascendance represents a turning point in America's approach to the region, especially to Israel," he wrote in the letter. "The new administration believes that in order to fight terror, guarantee stability and withdraw from Iraq, a new diplomatic slant is needed involving drastic steps to pacify the Muslim world and the adoption of a more balanced approach to Israel, including intensive pressure to stop building in settlements, remove outposts and advance the formation of a Palestinian state."
Wow. Israeli sanctions against the United States? Boy, how effective could this be? According to this, total Israeli imports from the US in 2007 amounted to... $14.4 billion. That's just a bit more than 1/10th of one per cent of US GDP. In terms of a trading partner, Israel ranks behind India, Belgium, Switzerland, and Korea.
Meanwhile, this delusional scenario would put Israel's exports to the US in obvious risk, meaning almost half of all of Israel's trade, amounting to 1/5 of its GDP, would be threatened.
Not to mention that the IDF is totally, entirely dependent on American trade to keep (among other things) its air force flying. This proposal is just totally insane, but its a mark of what the far-right in Israel is thinking at the moment -- a ruinous trade war with the US, rather than withdrawal from the West Bank and negotiations with the countries on Israel's borders. ("Neighbours" is probably the wrong word, in this context...)
I'm not even going to go in to Peled's suggestion that Israel get involved in domestic US politics to pressure Obama... though if there were any justice right now, people would be lining up to apologize to Walt and Mearsheimer.
And, just so we're clear, Peled has a home in the governing Likud Party, not one of the further-right fringes. Who, for further clarity, have a home in the governing coalition. Yeesh.

The planning board voted this week to allow Heritage House Hotel to replace 200 square feet of signage with about 95 square feet. Even though the signage spread will be cut in half, a special permit was required for the property at Main Street and Old Colony Road because the limit in the Hyannis Village Business District is 50 square feet.
The hotel's façade and grounds have been undergoing a makeover this year.

Most of us probably have at least a short wish-list of photography-related items. My list usually fills up with things that I don't have the money for, and over time I stop caring about those particular items. But there are a few things that I've been wanting for a while — and I don't see myself losing interest in them.
I've been wanting this camera for quite a while — this thing is freakin' awesome for an old rangefinder. Some would even argue that this is the best rangefinder ever produced by Minolta. Why do I want it? Street photography. Why am I holding back? Price: they usually go for over $150 (2-3x that for the black version).
This wish-list item is more of a necessity than a craving. I've got the Canoscan 8400F (which is more than a few years old), and I'm getting very finicky about my film scans. I'd like to have a bit of extra resolution and possibly better color control during the scan process. Besides… my current scanner could commit suicide any day now.
This is an item that's been in the back of my mind ever since I started shooting film. I like the split image focusing screen with the microprism ring that my film SLR has, and I often find myself wanting the same feature on my dSLR. Why? Low light situations, macro, street, etc. Sometimes autofocus just doesn't cut it, and manually focusing without a good screen is useless.
This one is on my backburner for now, but I'd like to get into color developing and printing by the end of the year. I've had a good experience with the b/w printing, but I also have a growing collection of color negs that I'd love to print in full analog glory. Scanning is okay, but nothing beats a true print. This head I have my eye on will bolt right up to my existing enlarger stand, so it's really just a component swap-out rather than a whole new setup.
Yeah… this lens is way out there for me right now, but I certainly wouldn't mind having it. I often find that my 50mm lens on the dSLR is too tight for many street photography situations. I like the field of view I get with the 50mm lens on a full-frame film camera (I even prefer my slightly wider 38mm sometimes), and the 35mm on a crop sensor would basically be equivalent to the 50mm full-frame. This thing is spendy though!
Those are probably my top 5 items outside of the low-budget realm. I'll probably be lucky to pick up one or two of these within the next year, but it's fun to dream!
Leave a comment and let us know what you crave. I'm always curious about the things that other photographers want when it comes to equipment. And be sure to check out the results of the last poll: What's Your Experience With Film Photography? Believe it or not, there are actually a good chunk of photographers shooting film today (around 40%). But another 40% gave it up and never looked back.

Get the split-image prism. Get it now. I got it for my DSLR and it makes a world of difference. I can't imagine going back to a "focusing" screen without the ability to actually focus on it.
Fast 35mm: Hmm. I had the Sigma 30/1.4 for a year. Good lens with some serious drawbacks (big, not too sharp in the corners). But one thing I learned is that while a fast lens is nice for focusing at night, actually using the lens at those speeds for street shooting is difficult to impossible. Basically, you have such narrow DOF that it's just pure luck if you sometimes happen to get your intended subject in focus. Remember, you usually don't have a tripod, little time to setup the shot and can usually not ask people to stand really, really still as you try to get the focus juuust right. The cost and weight of a really fast wide lens is a steep price to pay for a bit of focusing ease. I no longer have the Sigma and now mostly use a 35/2 lens or (more and more often) a 35/2.8 lens for street photography.
My wishlist, in order of most to least realistic or desirable:
* Pentax 45mm f/4 lens for the 67 mount.
* A third flash and another flash stand.
* 67 mount to K-mount adapter (that 90mm would make an excellent portrait lens on a small camera).
* Pentax 67 *300mm f/4 EF(ID) lens. And a tripod to go with it.
* A tiny, light bag that nevertheless takes either my Pentax 67, filters, film and a tripod; or my K10D with three or four lenses, tripod, light stand, umbrella and strobes. It should expand to backpack size when full, and fit in my coat pocket when empty. Waterproof and with excellent cushioning but so light that I don't spend half my effort carrying the bag rather than the contents. With a pocket for a computer and travel documents so I can use it as carry-on. Oh, and while we're at it, it should produce a pony on demand.April 17, 2009 12:36 am
I wish I could get my hands on a Canon EOS 5D MkII. That would have been a nice addition.April 17, 2009 12:51 am
CANON SD 870, A MUST IN THE BAGApril 17, 2009 1:03 am
Well, I just rewrote my wish list. Since I now have a D300, many of the options that weren't available with my D40 are now within reach. I now have a camera body with a commander mode, for using multiple Nikon speedlights. Even though I love my Pocket Wizards, shooting with some auto features turned on is always nice.
* A couple of SB-600′s would be nice.
* In fact, I'd love a cheap strobe kit, like the ones Adorama sells.
* I'm drooling over the Nikon 85mm F/1.8 right now.
* A week off, to get out and play with the camera. I'm finding that with the increased features and options, I'm not getting the desired images. So, I disparately need to take some time to use it more.
* I've also fallen in love with the Kata 3N1 Sling/Backpack. THE next bag I "need".
* While I'm at it, I'd love a sweet high end tripod and smooth head.April 17, 2009 1:22 am
Oh my! I have decided to skip the D700 and FF for now, but even so, there is a long and expensive list left
Nikon 16-85/3.5-5.6 VR should be a nice complement to my 70-300 VR, optically better than my 18-200 VR, and although the 18-200 can't be beat in flexibility, a three zoom lens travel lineup would be nice.
The third lens currently is the Sigma 10-20/4-5.6, but either the upcoming Nikon 10-24 DX or the upcoming Sigma 10-20/3.5 would be nice. No idea yet which one will be better.
The Nikon 105 VR macro would be a fine lens for about the same uses that I now use the Sigma 70/2.8 for, i.e. street photography combined with very near/very shallow DOF photography. VR should make this much more viable at night, the longer focal length would give more compression and make shallow DOF more dramatic. As much as I like my Sigma 150/2.8 Macro, I don't use it that often. It's too heavy and without stabilization not very useful under most lighting conditions, even wide open.
Hmm … at the moment that's all I can think of. We'll see how the D400 turns out, but it would have to be a hell of a camera to make me upgrade from the D300.April 17, 2009 1:47 am
Hey, about that 35mm 1.4 – I eventually got Sigma's 24mm 1.8 and it's a great lens. I had been using my old Minolta 28mm 2.8 as on a crop sensor it becomes equivalent to a 42mm (closer to the actual 'standard' focal length than 50mm) but wanted something a) a leeetle bit wider b) something with better optics and c) a wider aperture for my obsession with shallow DOF.
It works a treat, does exactly what I hoped it would do, and will cover full-frame should I ever get me a a900…
But Sigma also do 20mm and 28mm lenses, also f1.8s, as well as a 30mm 1.4 (crop sensor only).April 17, 2009 2:34 am
At the moment I use a Canon 50D with a Sigma 8mm fisheye, Tamron 11-18mm, Canon 17-85 IS and Canon 70-300 IS. The body's a recent purchase, all the glass was bought before and previously used on a 350D.
In order
1) Replace the 70-300 IS with the 100-400 L IS. I could definitely do with the extra reach even on the crop sensor, and don't mind carrying the extra weight. It's a shame neither lens is a constant f/4 so they could be used with a 1.4x converter.
2) It would then make sense to replace the 17-85 Is with the 24-105 L IS.
3) Then to cover the gap at the wide end replace the Tamron 11-18 with the Canon 10-22.
After step 2 I'd have the option of going full-frame, in which case step 3 would then be the Canon 16-35April 17, 2009 4:20 am
My wishlist is a little more expensive than the ones above. Hence it's a wishlist…
Canon 500mm f/4
Canon 800mm f/5.6
Gitzo GT3540XLS Tripod
Mongoose M3.5 Action HeadApril 17, 2009 7:35 am
I want a Fuji GSW 690 III. Something about taking a rangefinder with a 28mm lens and increasing its proportions and focal length up to use a 6×9 negative seems great.April 17, 2009 7:42 am
My wish list:
Waiting for Sony to announce the replacement for the a700, hopefully with video capabilities and about 15Mp, then that'll be on it.
Some sort of battery pack to let me take my studio strobes on location, probably the Innovatronix thingy.
Sony/Carl Zeiss 85mm 1.4 and 135mm 1.8 lenses. Just to broaden my range of nice primes.April 17, 2009 8:08 am
Mine is pretty simple.
Nikon D700: Full frame goodness at less of a price than the D3. Hoping to have one in the next few months, but we'll see.
Nikkor 85mm/1.4 lens
Nikkor 105mm/2.8 VR macro lens (backburner until I have the portrait lenses that I want)
Nikkor 14-24mm/2.8 and 24-70/2.8 lenses
And basically any medium format camera. I have been jonesin' to shoot some 120 film, but just lack the funds at the moment to buy something that is more for me than it is for shooting for the business.April 17, 2009 1:26 pm
I'd just like to get out of my point and shoot and into a good DSLR. Any suggestions?April 17, 2009 2:27 pm
Thinking about wishes and dreams is always nice. Okay, I'll give it a try . . .
- The new to come Leica 50 mm f/0.95 Noctilux to play around at low light situations
- Time for cool photoworkshops to give the toys room to roam
That's it for me, I guess it's not the cameras / glass only, but time / weather / model / . . . that make the photography wishes for me.
Have funApril 17, 2009 3:18 pm
I know they aren't very expensive but since my dh has just been handed his pink slip I'll keep it on my wish list for the future… Right now I would love a right angle finder. I likely would have picked one up this winter but the market is pretty small and they are a specialty order.
I wonder if it would be a mistake to buy one of the cheapies on ebay?April 17, 2009 6:29 pm
Rethink the Sony 35mm f/1.4 G Series
See MTF charts here:
It's a decent lens, yes, but not for that kind of price. You're better off spending the extra $500 to get the 24-70, which blows it out of the water optically (although I guess it's a stop slower and you might care about that)
Either way, like so many sony lenses, the 35mm 1.4 G is just a rebadged version of the old Minolta 35mm 1.4G. Wait until they update it, or buy a third party version which should just about match it, optically, at half the price (or possibly even less)April 17, 2009 7:09 pm
The top things on my photo wishlist that I really want include:
1. Small Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet–precision editing in Lightroom is a royal pain in the butt with a mouse; it's like trying to use a bar of soap to draw.
2. Film scanner–while a dedicated film scanner would be really nice, I really don't want to spend that much money, so I'm giving serious consideration to picking up an Epson V500. If I should ever decide to get into medium format, at least I'd have a scanner that could scan the film.
3. Replace my too-slow PC with a Mac, most likely. Besides being so slow, I'm just tired of Vista and the headache it's been.
4. A small camera bag that doesn't look like a camera bag–something that'll hold my Pentax K20D body, Sigma 17-70 and Pentax 55-300 lenses, and a flash. I'm thinking something like a Crumpler 5 Dillion Dollar Home or Tamrac Express 7 should do the job.
5. A close-up adapter. I've already got a dedicated macro lens, but I'd like to have close up ability on my other lenses, so perhaps a Raynox 150 or 250 adapter would work for that.
6. A second Pentax 35mm film body–I already have a ZX-M.
7. A waterproof P&S, either digital or film; my husband and I are looking to go on a cruise next year and this camera will go where I'm not willing to take the DSLR.
I'm also considering swapping out my Pentax K200D body for a smaller K2000 body. I have a friend who's interested in buying the K200D later on this year when she can get the money saved up, so I'll most likely replace it with another digital body. Before making a definite decision, I'm also waiting to see what Pentax will unveil in the way of new bodies.
I've also toyed with the idea of getting into medium format someday, but that's on the backburner.April 18, 2009 3:50 pm
A great blog !
My wishlist?
To upgrade or to do super-upgrade from a 2mp p&s to D40 with its kit lens !! M saving !!!April 19, 2009 7:40 am
Like most of us there are many things I want, but only a few that I need to be able to get all the kinds of shots I want.
The main one is some kind of macro capability. The best I can do now is adding close-up diopters to my lenses or using the macro mode (only 1:2) on my Sigma 70-300. For ages I've been lusting after a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro but have also been considering getting my hands on an EOS-M42 adapter and some M42 bellows that I can use with the M42 lenses I have.
The other need is some way to get my flash off-camera. Sync cables will work as I only have a manual Sunpak flash but some kind of wireless link would be great. Getting one of the dedicated E-TTL Canon flashes has crossed my mind too.
Getting to things I want but don't really need. I'd like to get some faster lenses. My Sigma 70-300 is a great lens for the price but it's slow and I'd really like to replace it with a Canon EF 70-200 L f/2.8. I do have a 50mm f/1.8 but want a faster short range zoom I can use for a walk-around lens. The Sigma 18-125 I have now is horribly slow, both in aperture and focussing terms and becomes almost impossible to handhold in low light.April 19, 2009 8:13 am
My gear lust has been sated somewhat with my recent purchase of a Canon 50D and the 10-22mm wide angle lens. I have been wanting those items for a very long time. Most everything else is just a passing thought (new scanner, new camera bag, etc.). One thing on the eventual horizon. I really don't like my Fuji point and shoot pocket camera and would like to get a Canon version.April 19, 2009 8:27 am
I have winnowed my list down to an Olympus OM 2n in black. Ok maybe a mint Olympus XA too!April 19, 2009 7:28 pm
My list is extensive. But the key items that I have on my list (some more attainable at the moment than others) are:
1) Kenko Extension Tube set
2) A Nikon SB-600 Speedlight
3) A Nikon Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 ED AF DX Fisheye lens
4) A Canon 500D closeup lens (it fastens to your filter ring to decrease minimum focusing distance of your lens)
Of course after reading Jerry Deese's list above, I feel like I should add the 14-24mm wide angle zoom as well.
But I guess when you're into a hobby like photography, the list never actually disappearsApril 20, 2009 9:56 am
I'm curious about the scanner on your list. I have an Epson V500, it's a flat bed scanner with film and slide adapters and I've been quite displeased with the scans I'm getting, even though I'm able to scan at 6400dpi. The scanner supports higher, but 6400 is it's highest 'true' resolution. I find the film doesn't lay flat enough to get any real quality from the film. I'm devising a plan to get some glass cut to weigh the film down more, allowing them to lay flatter on the glass. I would be curious to see how you do it and how happy you are with the results. The 8800F doesn't seem all that different from my scanner so any insight you can over would be great!April 20, 2009 11:43 am
My wish list:
Canon 5D II takes the top, and have done so for….months! Ever since it came out, actually.
Macro! Canon 100 f 2.8. Today I use an old lens (single piece of glass) hold up front my 50mm as a macro. It would be great to have this not too well working solution replaced.
Canon 100-400mm f 4-5.6 Replacement for the 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 IS I use today.
I think these are my realistic wishes.
In the absolutely unrealistic side would be a Canon 200mm F2.0. What a beauty!April 20, 2009 12:30 pm
I find the film doesn't lay flat enough to get any real quality from the film. I'm devising a plan to get some glass cut to weigh the film down more, allowing them to lay flatter on the glass.
You'll want to find some anti newton glass to do this or might end up being very dissapointed. Betterscanning.com already sells some in precut sizes for the Epson scanners. I wrote a post recently about using the glass inserts for my v700 on my showing the results after using one. Definitly made an improvement.April 20, 2009 1:07 pm
Well here is my wish list:
1: A Nikon D300 so my wides will work for Architectural shots
2: a medium format camera. A Mamiya RZ so I can someday convert it to digital
3: A 4X5 view camera
It will take time but I will do it.April 22, 2009 5:15 am
I'm late to the party I know, but I just got my internet back on!
Firstly, Brian, the 8800F is awesome.
Secondly, Janne, the 67 to K mount adapter is brilliant. I'm using my 105/2.4 on my Pentax and EOS film bodies (the latter with a K to EOS adapter) and it's a really nice portrait lens. I've tried it on some EOS digitals as well and the result is impressive.
My wishlist?
1. An easel for my darkroom.
2. Contrast filters for my Beseler 45 Enlarger – I just can't find anywhere to buy them…
3.Jupiter 9 85/2. I need a better portrait lens for 35mm.
And now for my dreams:
4. 72mm ND110
5. 72mm R25A both for my 210/5.6 large format lens.April 23, 2009 5:34 pm
@Janne — You may have just convinced me to spring for the focusing screen — I really dig it! And I'm giving 2nd thoughts to the lens… I might settle for a slightly slower lens at a much cheaper price. Truthfully, I can't even shoot at f/1.4 here in California during the day, so an f/2 or an f/2.8 might be more suitable. But I do like the quality I get from my 50mm f/1.4 at f/2 — shooting wide open generally gives less than optimal results.
@Mr. Crinks — I might look into that Minolta 28mm… sounds like a good compromise on price & speed. I sort-of want to stay in the realm of full-frame lenses from here out because I don't know where I'll be in the future — plus, I've recently acquired a Minolta Maxxum 500si and I'd like to be able to use a few lenses on it!!! Right now, I've just got the 50mm f/1.4.
@Jerry — Look into a nice Minolta Autocord TLR!!! I'm so tickled with the one I got, and it's quicky becoming one of my favorite cameras. Cheaper than a Rollei, but very similar quality.
@Zach — Thanks! Maybe I'll check into getting a used version of the Minolta lens… or perhaps a slightly "slower" lens. Seriously — that kind of dough is tough to justify.
@Steve — Definitely go for a 100mm f/2.8 macro! I love my 105/2.8 and I hardly use it as a macro lens. You'll get good use from it at any range.
@Topslakr — Seriously, Newton's Rings are my biggest issue. I think that's a problem with scanning medium format in-general. I tend to get better results if I let the film flatten properly prior to scanning… and if I'm in a hurry I'll stick it in a roll of paper-towels reverse-curl for a while.
@the_wolf_brigade — Don't push me! I'm already on the verge of buying that stupid 8800!!! And dude… a good easel is definitely worth the money. I finally gave up on trying to get a 16×20 and I settled for a 11×14. Upgrading from an 8×10 2-blade, the 11×14 4-blade is a HUGE difference. Whatever you do, get a good one and you won't be disappointed. Oh… and the contrast filters are a necessity.April 23, 2009 10:25 pm
My wishlist has gotten shorter lately because I just picked up an UWA (Sigma 10-20)… Which I love and recommend highly!
I think a 6 stop ND filter is on the list… and one of those tripod attachments that lets you use your regular tripod with an umbrella and external flash.
But overall, I think I finally have enough…April 28, 2009 7:30 am
My photography wish list at this point includes mostly 12 gb worth of memory cards. I'm leaving for china next week and i need a lot of space for pictures.May 7, 2009 12:13 am
Well I can knock No.3 off my list….May 9, 2009 2:44 am
Nice! My #1 item is also in-hand.May 9, 2009 7:10 am
I got my first DSLR (Canon 450D) a couple of months back, so my wish list is a sliding scale of achievable to dreams!
At the achievable end we have a Canon 50mm/F1.8 Ef Lens
And at the dream end of the list is a MacBook Pro! My poor old iMac 400 (9years old!) is struggling on but really needs to retire and take things easy soon…
What do you think about a lens hood for the 50mm Brian?May 14, 2009 5:37 am
Lens hood = yes. I use a hood with all of my lenses. It helps improve contrast and protects the front element from bumps against walls and whatnot.May 14, 2009 7:05 am
I've ordered one of these hoods for my 50mm f1.8. Considerably cheaper than the Canon hood and one of the guys on TWIP mentioned this dealer as being OK, so I thought it was worth a try. My order is in the mail at the moment.May 14, 2009 7:32 am
Thanks for the advice on the lens hood. It's my birthday next week and I'm hoping my husband has taken the hints I've been dropping. I'll have to wait and see if I get a 50mm shaped present!
I've actually written my list here: 10 must have accessories for my DSLRMay 15, 2009 6:10 am
Perhaps a stupid question, but if I buy a lens hood designed for a different lens but the same focal length, will it still be suitable?
I'm after a lens hood for a 85mm lens with a 49mm filter thread and preferrably would like a metal hood to match the vintage lens, but I may have to settle for a plastic one.
Since we're already talking about them I thought someone might have some suggestionsMay 17, 2009 4:37 pm
It should work as long as the focal length, thread diameter, and intended format are the same. I say intended format because a hood for an 85mm lens intended for a 35mm format camera will probably produce vignetting or even crop the corners if the lens were intended for medium format due to the wider field of view.May 17, 2009 10:04 pm
On the subject of lens hoods, a good resources is lenshoods.co.uk, who have hood templates for a large variety of lenses.May 18, 2009 12:01 am
Saw a Minolta 7s in an antique store the other day. I was tempted…but it's huge!
Now I'm after a Jupiter-6 180/2.8 since the Jupiter-9 is so nice.July 21, 2009 4:09 pm

Some of our amazing HALO students participate in tutoring
after school with a great volunteer for HALO.
A few months ago, a woman who we'll call Chantyl entered HALO with a number of barriers to reaching self-sufficiency. Before coming to HALO Chantyl was disabled and in a wheel chair, but on top of this difficulty, she had very persistent mental health issues. She had been living on her own, but after a mental health breakdown severe enough to get police involved and her truck impounded, she had to plot a new course.
Chantyl began working with the Mental Health branch of the Human Services Department (HSD) and eventually found her way into HALO. Continuing this work with HSD and HALO, she was able to progress from having to be forced into mental health treatment to keeping track of her own medications and seeking out services on her own. She began to save money through HALO and was able to get her truck back.
After just a few short months in HALO's program, she entered a senior living facility, where she will continue to work with mental health professionals and receive the support she needs to succeed. Some of her final days at HALO took place around the holidays. Because of this, she was able to be a part of HALO's Santa's Village program, and experience the joy of receiving presents while knowing that there are people out there who genuinely care about her.

Allergy & Environmental Medicine in Spokane
In the toxic environment of today immune systems suffer. Allergy to the particulate in air and water, food contaminates and adulteration, stress, overuse of medicines such as antibiotics, corticosteroids, and acid reflux medicine causes allergy.
Leaky gut (intestinal permeability) dysbiosis ( altered microbes in the gut, lung, nasopharyngeal, and blood brain barrier), cause increased th2 immunity which gives us symptoms of allergy. The imbalanced immunity that allergic symptoms come from, also deplete the immunity which surveils against bacterial and viral infections as well as cancer cells. The result is recurrent infections and increased risk for environmental cancers. As you might imagine, we have long term concerns with the allergic patient.
Evaluation of allergy begins with a food diary and environment questionnaire. Lab testing may include Serum IGG/IGE//IGA, skin testing, and NAET muscle testing. Treatment for allergy includes NAET cold laser desensitization, Sub-lingual Immuno Therapy, (SLIT), elimination diets, leaky gut meds, dysbiosis meds, and environmental neutralization.
The allergic patient has usually been seen by many with few long term results. We offer a reasonable solution set with a personalized approach to each individual patient.

well being.

Home Care
Keeping seniors healthy and at home is the purpose behind SCC. Often, some home assistance makes all the difference between being successful and considering a more supported living arrangement.
From chores, to transportation, medication reminders and 24-hour care, our Home Care network of services offer an array of support to help families help themselves.
Skilled Nursing
Our skilled nursing services emphasize short-stay rehabilitation, with a focus on medically complex cases. After illness or injury requires hospitalization, the Signature CareConnect™ (SCC) skilled nursing programs are frequently used to stabilize medical conditions and initiate comprehensive rehabilitation.
Home Health
Home Health is prescribed by a doctor to continue treatment and recovery within a home setting. These services are usually short-term and the frequency and occasions of visits are determined during the first visit by a licensed health care professional. SCC Home Health specialists focus on teaching the patient, family, and caregivers the skills necessary to assist with a patient's recovery. Home-bound patients require intermittent visits and may receive the following services as appropriate:
- Skilled Nursing
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Therapy
- Medical Social Work
- Nutritional Counseling
Rehabilitation is a theme throughout the SCC network. From brief inpatient stays at our skilled nursing centers, to home health rehabilitation, to our on-site clinics in many of our Assisted Living Facilities, our belief is that early identification and intervention with rehabilitation can speed recovery, restore health and well-being and help seniors avoid preventable declines that result from loss of strength and balance.
Independent Living
Gracious, supported living—retirement style. For seniors over 65, SCC independent living options include meals, life- enrichment activities and housekeeping services. This level of support allows seniors to spend their time and energy on what they want to do, rather than focusing on the stresses of maintaining a home.
Assisted Living
Designed with a social model in mind, the SCC network of assisted living facilities and personnel provide care and support for seniors who need help with personal care in addition to meals, life enrichment, and nursing supervision
With facilities located throughout Oregon and Washington the SCC network of assisted living promotes a community lifestyle that promotes independence and respects an individual's privacy.
Memory Care
The SCC network specializes in custom programming and environments for memory-impaired seniors—irrespective of level of care. These comprehensive programs ease the stress for patients and families that accompanies progressive memory loss and provide resources that enhance the quality of life for the patient.
When aggressive treatment is no longer tolerated or desired, our SCC Hospice services can assist individuals and families in managing symptoms of chronic illness, so that quality of life can be enjoyed. Hospice is about living the best life you can.
