Would like to do two posts on divots. This post will focus on fairway divots followed by one on tee divots in the near future.
A little understanding of the turfgrass plant first may be helpful. The predominant turf species on our fairways is creeping bentgrass. It is called this because of it's stoloniferous growth habit. Basically it means this species of turf has stolons which are above ground stems that spread horizontally and root at nodes. While there is vertical growth of the plants, it has a more horizontal growth feature to it. Thus it's name creeping.
A great example of this can be seen from the below photos. The first is from an irrigation head on #14 fairway that can barely be seen.
This next photos shows what it looks like after trimming.
These pictures were taken just a few minutes apart so I am unsure why my camera has given the turf a different color to it. But the golf ball was not moved so the viewer can have a reference point.
This brings us to our preferred method of divot filling here at Fieldstone. Last week a video was sent out to members showing proper divot repair. It can be seen here: USGA Divot Repair
As mention in the video the favored method is to replace the divot if it is in good shape. If not, the sand and soil bottles provided in the carts and next to the halfway house should be used. It is very important the sand/soil is filled to the top of the divot and leveled. If not the mowers will be dulled when making a pass through the mixture.
We often get asked why there is no seed in the divot mix. This is a great question. Under the most ideal situation possible bentrgrass may germinate within 7 days. This does not necessarily mean you will see the turf but rather the seed coating is broken. Under late Spring and Summer conditions this timing could be pushed all the way to 21 days. During the Spring and Summer we make pre-emergent herbicide applications for grassy weeds such as crab and goose grass. This same pre-emergent also prevents the creeping bentgrass seed from germinating.
Another challenge we encounter is the accidental filling of divots in the rough with creeping bentgrass seed. Our preferred turf species in these areas is Turf Type Tall Fescue. Any bentgrass seed that germinates and grows in the rough makes for a very difficult surface to play out of.
During the growing season we apply a plant growth regulator on a bi-weekly basis which slows vertical growth and promotes lateral growth of the bentgrass. This actually helps the bentgrass to fill in divots. However, it also slows any new seedlings that may germinate.
A big thank you to everyone who properly replaces and/or fills in their divots and others. It makes a HUGE difference in the condition of the course.

Walnut and Strawberry Pizza with Balsamic Reduction: The bright strawberries, walnut, cheese makes it look so pretty and the addition of balsamic reduction sauce turns this into an anytime decadent delight. Ready under 15 minutes and perfect to share with the family/friends.
This Walnut and Strawberry Pizza with Balsamic Reduction makes such a yummy anytime snack that I can't stop raving about them.
I've tried a combination of sweet (fruits+nuts) pizza but nothing beats a Walnut+Strawberry combination with a balsamic reduction sauce.
It's sweet, tangy and topped with that ooey-gooey cheese – a heavenly taste that can be achieved within 15 minutes within the comfort of your home.
And the best part, I'm also telling you 'How' we can make this tangy-sweet 'Balsamic Reduction' sauce – that's just super yum and can be used to drizzle upon any sweet or savory recipes (think ice-creams / fresh fruits / bowl of salad and the list goes on).
We have been eating this Walnut and Strawberry Pizza with Balsamic Reduction pizza for ages and it has been a part of many of our house parties/get-together and trust me, it always gives people a feel of noshing on a 'Gourmet Delight'.
Infact, I cannot say who loves it more? Is it the kids or the grown-ups as the moment this gets served it's gone within seconds.
We have also tried this pizza with many different bases like fresh homemade pizza dough, store-bought pizza crust, naan bread and even pita bread at times and the results are AWESOME EVERYTIME !
Although I'm using a mix of mozzarella and cream-cheese you can use any kind of cheese too.
Before we discuss our luscious balsamic reduction sauce, did you know these facts about Walnuts:
- Walnuts are a delicious and versatile ingredient that adds flavor, crunch and depth to sweet and savory dishes alike.
- Walnuts are the champion of plant-based omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid or ALA) among nuts and are the only nut to provide a significant source of the essential nutrient (2.5 grams per ounce).
- In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts offer other important components of a healthy diet, including 4 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber per ounce.
With so many benefits, they surely make an excellent choice and can be added in any kind of meal.
Now, to make our Balsamic Sauce, all you need is balsamic vinegar + sugar and just reduce it over medium heat for 7-8 minutes.
That's it and store this sauce in a clean sterile jar for up to 1 month in the fridge. The only thing you need to remember is to keep stirring it every minute and keep an eye on it (as the vinegar burns really quickly).
I actually made a fresh batch of this sauce when making this recipe as I was out of the old one and sprinkled some over the freshly baked pizza too (which is optional).
Also, I added some fresh mint leaves, but you can top it with basil or simply eat them without any further topping. It's just pure deliciousness and you just can't stop at one bite. So be prepared and make some extra for a night snack 😉
I hope you make Walnut and Strawberry Pizza with Balsamic Reduction soon and do share a picture or comment below to let me know when you did. Also, check more details about California Walnuts being used in this recipe.
Until Next Time ~ XoXo

Skip to comments.Charlie Rangel: "Teabaggers" Will Decide What To Fund And Not Fund (video)
Posted on 12/29/2010 10:45:46 AM PST by i88schwartz
click here to read article
Anyone who uses the term "Teabagger" has a brain that is in an adolescent state of arrested development.
Damn straight Charlie!
Better "teabaggers" than a crooked, lying tax cheat who thinks he is above the law.
Well you would know more about deviant things like teabaggers than the rest of us charlie, but I would guess that Tea Partiers will have greater input on setting the standards as to what you're going to fund and not fund and what taxes you're going to have and not have.
I bet it galls ya, don't it!
You like throwing derogatives around Charlie? How 'bout crook, criminal, cheater, thief, liar, bigot, felon, disgrace? Kind of sums up my feelings about you.
People who use the term "teabagger" are mostly FISTERS. Fister in the clenched communist fist, or the 0bama fist bump. No sexual innuendo intended.
Either he's a foul mouthed B-stard or he's just plain stupid, or maybe both.
Kinda like Charlie Rangel deciding which taxes he can pay or doesn't have to pay because he is a congressman.
Charlie doesn't need the law or the "teabaggers" for his own personal tax interests.
He can just do what he wants when he wants regardless if it is the law or not.
As another Freeper has noted:
"Teabaggers" is EVERY bit as offensive as the N word.
How you liking those teabagger nuts now Charlie?
And while they are at it, they should probably re-write the healthcare reform bill which was written by non-elected labor union/communist organizations but NOT read by congress.
Elected representatives of the tea party movement will at least write and read what they vote on.
The same cannot be said about liberal reps.
This is the state we have come to in the US. That it is now acceptable for a US Senator to call his political opponents the equivalent of a C- S er. Because that's what the term Tea Bagger means. And EVERYONE knows it.
I think it actually portends the end of our experiment in self government.
Nobody is stopping Charlie and his liberal friends from funding the "have-nots" with their own money.
OMG, someone put Anderson Cooper and Bawney Fwank in charge??
I wonder what Al Sharpton thinks about this.
It seems "teabagger" would be implicitly offensive.
You can call me anything you want, just don't call me late for dinner!
Liberals sure spend alot of time calling their enemies homosexuals?
Pray for the Tea Party Congress
Fine, you want to call me a "Tea-Bagger?"— go ahead, it only shows you are in your death throes. It is kinda like Citizen Kane gurgling the word "Rosebud" on his death bed.
Yeah right Ranger, tea party members are really homos. You best be careful, you might just anger your base by the suggested comparison with perverts.

Target's computer security staff advised the retailer to review the security of its payment card system at least two months before hackers stole 40 million credit and debit card numbers from its servers, according to several reports published Friday.
Citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal and American Banker published stories on their websites that said at least one intelligence analyst at the Minneapolis-based retailer wanted to do a more thorough security review of its payment systems' vulnerability to malware, but the request was brushed off.
The warning came at the time Target was updating those payment terminals, which can open security risks, and as the retailer was preparing for the holiday season. After updating the terminals, analysts would have had less time to find holes in the new system.
A former employee told the Journal that the analyst's concern came after the federal government and private research firms had distributed memos last spring and summer, warning companies about the emergence of new types of malicious computer code targeting payment terminals.

Each day I choose to inspire those around me through Crossfit. I enjoy hard work and putting in the long hours in the gym that are necessary to achieve my goals. To some, my goals border the edge of insanity but this is the path I have chosen for myself and I am ready to do what it takes to achieve greatness. The olympic lifts are my specialty and working on my weaknesses is something that I enjoy doing. I plan on making regionals in 2015 and making it on to an NPGL team. When others take days off, I choose to make improvements on my fitness. Proving the nay-sayers wrong is why I push myself so hard in the gym.

Plajan or Loi Ruea Boat Floating Festival. Where the ancient beliefs of an ever adapting group of Sea Gypsies are blended with the music and dance from two continents.
When: On the full moon day in the sixth (May) and the eleventh months (October) of the Thai lunar calendar. The festival is over 3 days and nights.
Where: Phuket, Lanta Islands & Krabi
Sea Gypsies
The islands and coastal regions along the Andaman Sea are home to a unique group of people, who due to their maritime nomadic way of life are known in Thai as the Chao Lay, (people of the sea) or Chao nam (people of the water) and in English as sea nomads or sea gypsies.
The Chao Lay are divided into two distinct groups: the Urak Lawoi and the Moken, (also spelled Mawken or Morgan and who are further sub divided into smaller group includes the Moken proper, the Moklen (Moklem), the Orang Sireh (Betel-leaf People), and the Orang Lanta.
The last, the Orang Lanta, are a hybridized group formed when the Malay people settled the Lanta islands where the proto-Malay Orang Sireh had been living.) The total population of sea nomads in the year 2000 was estimated at around 9,500, e.g. 7,000 in Thailand and 2,500 in Myanmar. (Figures from UNESCO)
This post covers the festival of the Urak Lawoi as they and their festivals differ from the Moken people (to see more on the Moken and their Boat Floating Festival click here)
Urak Lawoy
The Urak Lawoy, who have in the main settled on the islands of Ko Lanta, Ko Jum, Ko Phi Phi, Phuket and Ko Lipe, are the most integrated of the sea gypsies into Thai society. They place their mythical origin at Gunung Jerai, located on modern maps on Kedah peak, north of Penang in Malaysia peninsular. None of the Sea Gypsies groups have a written language and so their history is handed down to the next generation via word of mouth. Here in Thailand they are known as Thai Mai, or "New Thai".
Thailand's Urak Lawoy have been recognized as Thai citizens since the 1960s, when the late Queen Mother granted them five family names, thereby enabling them to possess ID cards and go to school. Many work on coconut plantations or as fishermen, while others continue surviving on what they can harvest from the land and sea.
Unlike the Moken people the Urak Lawoi' are only nomadic on their foraging trips, and have always maintained permanent houses on land. They only forage for food during the dry season, November to April, for periods ranging from a couple of days to several months, depending on the distance traveled, weather, and harvest conditions. This does not mean to say that they are still not tied to the sea, which is for them home, a source of livelihood, a playground, a dwelling place of spirits, and a ceremonial ground.
Urak Lawoi Sea Gypsies Festival
The Plajan or Loi Ruea Boat Floating Festival takes place twice a year during the 6th and 11th lunar months, with the actual dates differing between villages and each island.
The ceremonies center around the setting adrift of small model boats, (thought to represent the craft the people once used on their migration north).
The launching of these intricately carved vessels bearing candles and tokens from the people is held at night, their purpose is to drive away evil and bring good luck, it is also believed that the boat will float back to their ancestral home at Gunung Jerai.
Three days and nights of celebrations
The three day and night ceremony also includes ancestor and spirit worshiping, fortune telling by the local Shaman, music performances and dances, including the Rong Ngeng dance.
The dance is considered to be an innovation combining both Western and Eastern forms — Western footsteps with Eastern hand movements. The main musical instruments played include the Asian rammana drum and gong, and Western violin. The melodies are partly based on European folk songs, mixed with local songs and Muslim lullabies. The lyrics are Malay and learned by memory. (You Tube)
Once a popular folk dance and singing form, today Rong Ngeng is performed only at welcoming ceremonies and other organized events.
Traditionally female dancers wear a long sleeved embroidered shirt and batik sarong; men wear a shirt and sarong. Today only women sing and dance. The first song asks for protection from the spirit of the place, while the rest are about life and sea travel.
There are many differences between the differing Sea Gypsy groups, but what they all have in common, is a deep faith and respect for the sea, which for centuries has provided almost all that they require. If you are fortunate to be on the islands during the festival, do try to join in the ceremonies to share in the life of these fast changing people.

But bolstered by supportive noises from the Treasury's Office of Tax Simplification (OTS), George Osborne looks set to do just that in Wednesday's Budget.
Reform of a system that raises £100bn a year, however, is some time away. If Mr Osborne follows the advice of the OTS he will set a review in motion by the end of 2011.
In contrast, increases in NICS will be felt immediately, with employees and employers' rates rising on April 6.
Basic rate taxpayers will pay 12pc of their salary, up from 11pc, while those earning the higher rate will fork out an additional 2pc on earnings over the upper earnings limit of £42,475 – double the current 1pc additional rate.
Employers are not spared, despite the campaign against Labour's "jobs tax" during the General Election. The employer's rate rises to 13.8pc, up 1pc, with Tory-led increases to the weekly pay threshold helping to eliminate any additional rise for those employing staff on less than £20,000.
The NICs system, which dates back to 1911, was founded with a contributory principle that has been eroded over the years. The OTS said that only six state benefits now depend wholly or in part on people's contributions: bereavement allowance, jobseeker's allowance, employment and support allowance, incapacity benefit, maternity allowance and the basic state pension.
This principle is set to be eroded further if a flat rate pension of £140 a week based on residence rather than NICs and a "universal credit" to simplify state benefits are introduced.
The voices in favour of reform have also grown louder. The OTS said small businesses, trade bodies and accountants it spoke to for its interim review of business taxation were "almost unanimous" in favour of reform.
The OTS set out the case for a merger as follows:
• Employed and self-employed individuals pay income tax at the same rate but the total level of NIC for employees is 23.8pc whereas for the self-employed it is only 8pc. "This creates an advantage for an individual to be self-employed".
• Income tax rates for dividends are around 15 percentage points lower than the rates for salary and do not attract a NIC charge for either the individual or the company, compared to 23.8pc on salary. This creates "a considerable incentive to operate through a limited company and receive dividends". There are 650,000 companies with a single director and shareholder who are the same person. The net effect is that someone earning £50,000 can save around £7,000 in tax compared with an employee.
• Benefits: The income tax and NIC treatment of benefits varies, with some exempt from both income tax and NIC, some exempt from income tax only, and some from NIC only.
• Capital gains attract no NIC, encouraging the creation of tax avoidance schemes that attract capital rather than income tax treatment.
The headache of administering a payroll tax would be abolished for employers and HMRC, saving hundreds of millions each year, according to Treasury estimates.
But the pain for the Coalition is clear. Many taxpayers live in blissful ignorance about the real rates of tax they are paying – with most focusing on the main rates of income tax. A merger takes the marginal rate for higher rate tax payers to 52p in the pound and to 32p for basic rate payers.
The OTS acknowledged the problem. "There may still be negative effects on the labour market as true marginal rates of taxation become clear," it said.
Reform is also complex. If the Treasury is to abolish NICs it will have to find the £60bn it collects from employers elsewhere. The OTS tentatively suggested increased tax on income and savings and business rates.
If the Treasury raised the NICs threshold to that of income tax it would also lose £1bn a year.
Pensioners also do not pay NICs on retirement income and pension payments are deductible for NICs but not income tax. "Clearly, suddenly increasing the tax rate on pension payments by 11pc would be unacceptable," the OTS said.
Such good reasons not to act mean the Chancellor has to make the case for reform.

The Part That Doesn't Burn
Goetia Series
Book One
Sam Poling
Genre: Dark Fantasy
Publisher: Tirgearr Publishing
Date of Publication: March 23rd, 2016
Number of pages: 319
Word Count: 97,000
Cover Artist: Cora Graphics
Book Description:
In an overpopulated city-state where technology and magic are forbidden by the corrupt church, young witch, Mirabel Fairfax, plots the creation of a deadly plague to cull the burdensome rabble.
That is, until she falls in love with the very alchemist she has been deceiving.
Now, with soul-hungry geists flooding the city, the church scrambling for their prey, and her own mind at war with itself, Mirabel must decide what she's fighting for before she loses everything to the evils of Autumnfall.
Mirabel waited in the darkness. Each passing second made it exponentially less likely the power would return.
"Mirabel? Did we lose power?" Felix's voice quivered in the darkness.
"It should return momentarily."
They waited. Mirabel could practically feel Felix's demeanor evaporating.
"Unbelievable, the singular time I am protecting company on the geistlines, a train dies. We are not coal powered. We are coming to a stop. Perhaps your pessimism rang true. Sour fortune must have followed you from Haugen. We need to leave."
"L-leave? As in, leave the train, and go out there?"
"Felix, without power the only thing stopping a geist from swooping in here and taking your face off is nothing. One hundred percent nothing. Essentially, we already have the cons of being outside, along with the narrow space of being inside. Not a survivable combination."
Without hesitation Felix took to gathering his tools, and corralling them into his bags.
"No time for that."
She tugged him out of their room and through the train car. One side of the car featured the cabins. Asleep and unaware, no one else left their rooms. Windows with their blinds drawn and a faint cyan shimmering through adorned the other side.
"They're lining both sides of the tracks. How long do we have?" said Felix.
"Geist behavior is a constant mystery, even to me, but eventually some will strike. Even those with eternity run out of patience."
They reached the door to the next car and Mirabel mashed on the panel. Nothing. No power, no doors. She tried the manual handle, but it wouldn't budge. If only Miss Perfect-Priestess were here, then the door wouldn't be able to fly open fast enough.
"Oh bother," she said.
"Door haunted too?"
"Handle denies me. Seems rusted, and I wonder if they automatically power lock."
She could barely make out Felix's nervous wince. "I wouldn't expect that, Mirabel. Emergency situations would turn fatalities."
"That is not happening with us." She put her weight on the lever. It didn't amount to much, and the lever knew it.
"Let me try."
Felix consisted of average build and height, if not a tad lanky. Certainly not the strong type. Petite Mirabel stood quite small, a whole head shorter, also not the strong type, but she expected she could generate more strength. The alchemist didn't have the mind for it.
"Felix, darling, put your hands here." She directed his hands next to hers. "Press down on three, yes?"
Violet light washed over the handle they gripped before she got to "one." She didn't have to turn around to know its source. It traveled up her arms and across the door. If another passenger had opened a blind, the light source wouldn't be nearing them.
"Three-three-three," she shouted.
Felix threw down on the handle alongside her. Perhaps he did have the mind for it when terrified. With a shriek the lever punched into the open position, and the partners threw their hands into the crevice at the door's left.
"Get the blasted thing open. Pull, Felix, do not look back."
She made a mistake. Everyone looks back when instructed not to. He turned his neck and got an eyeful of something that forced a spate foul language. Such words didn't suit him. Pulling with whatever force her slender arms could muster, she joined his blunder and looked over her shoulder.

Sam Poling – THE PART THAT DOESN'T BURN
Where are you from?
I am from Marysville, Washington.
Tell us your latest news?
My novel, THE PART THAT DOESNT BURN was just released.
When and why did you begin writing?
I've been writing for as long as I can remember, at least since my early teens. I wrote to express the stories and characters circling around in my head, begging to be brought to life.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
In Middle School I carried around notebooks filled with "novels" I had written in a series. I considered myself a writer of sorts around that time, I suppose.
What inspired you to write your first book?
A great deal of things, but mostly it was my protagonist and the other characters I came up with during story-telling games and the like. They fit into a great story together and demanded to be put to paper.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I write to clarity over "prettiness" or "wordiness," with preference to strong verbs and nouns. And somehow my tone is often wry, even in the darkest of hours.
How did you come up with the title?
It refers to the human condition: that no matter how much suffering you are put through, there is always a part of your humanity the fires of hell cannot burn from you. My novel is about using that bit of your humanity as your strength to fight back against the unfairness of the world around you.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
I want them to have fun with the characters, but if they learn anything, I hope they discover the hidden strengths within themselves.
How much of the book is realistic?
Aside from what it has to say of the human heart, nothing. It is entirely fantasy. However, witch hunts were a real, unfortunate thing in our own world.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
No. I've never known anyone to have to run from geists or deal with demons or black-magic fueled insanity. Fortunately.
What books have most influenced your life most?
With regards to big name authors, I like some of their least known books such as Dean Koontz's TICK TOCK, or Stephen King's EYES OF THE DRAGON. JURASSSIC PARK by Michael Crichton is another favorite.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
Dr. Lisa C. Murphy, author of WYRMSTONE.
What book are you reading now?
None, I'm trying to write one actually!
Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
Erika Gardner
What are your current projects?
I am toying with sequel ideas for my novel.
What would you like my readers to know?
Don't hesitate to write reviews! Share your thoughts.

OK. So I have communicated with a guy who is selling me his Ski Centurion Falcon for $6500. Seem like a really good deal. He was offering $11500 on CL then I mentioned that the Price is a bit high. He agreed and lowered the price if I can come pick it up soon. He said that he is willing to test drive it, but now he is really insisting on me picking up today or he will just keep it and sell it in a few months for $9500. He said he needs to money for taxes. (May be true don't know) The catch is,, I won't be able to test drive it. Only hear the motor run in the drive way.. What should I look for if something is wrong with the motor.. Cracked block ect. ect. or some else that might major wrong?
Here is the link
Know what makes April 15th famous?
In his ad he want's an Escalade, a C5 Corvette, or a Range Rover, and now he wants half his asking price to pay his taxes?
I'd be cautious.
Ask him for his home address?
If he gives it to you right away, it might be legit?
If not, its a scam?
Also, why would an owner need to test drive his own boat? Maybe he has never driven it at all!
Rex,,, I don't know what you mean buy the owner needing to test drive his own boat but,, Yes he did say that we can run the boat in his Driveway so I would get his address...
I'd leave it alone. Anytime you get something like that..today or never kind of thing theres an issue. That boat is never going to be worth $9500…period. $6500 is about what its worth, IMO. It isn't a smoking deal. Sounds like you are pretty emotionally wrapped up in it and thats a good way to get burned. Tell the guy you'd like to have it surveyed and inspected by a licensed dealer familiar with tow boats and see what he says. It sounds to me like he is rushing you in hopes you don't find what he is hiding.
RB.. Funny how you say that I am getting emotionally wrapped up in the boat. I am a little. I am excited to get a boat for the family. But better to be safe and wait vs hurry and possibly regret it with a blown engine or something.
Thanks for the replies!!
RB hit the nail on the head on all accounts. There is something fishy going on. I wouldn't even consider it at this point. There is a big difference between running the engine in the driveway and a water test. There is no load on the engine while running it in the driveway and you can't put it in gear.
I like that Sanger better but I partial to Sangers. The color isn't the best though. There will be plenty of boats coming up now that we are closer to spring. No need to hurry.
All kinds of things that could be wrong that a basic start in the driveway wouldn't tell u. Screw that, lake test or no sale if it were me. I agree with RB and Larry
I like that Sanger dxll way more then that pos centurion. Plus the old school graphics!
You said the owner is willing to test drive it. Right?
Unless it gets dropped more, I'd pass. If your looking at that anyway for the budget you might as well get a solid SN2001 that you can lake test. I would definitely lake test it or no deal.
The engine might run good, but it could have a shot tranny, leaks in the hull, a host of other problems you can't tell in the driveway for a boat that old.
Nothing wrong with running in driveway to test. You can wet the cutlass bearing and very briefly put in forward and reverse. Yeah it could still have a slipping issue or a damper on the way out. Whoop dee doo, those are cheap and easy and also not hugely likely. If the block is cracked you should see water in oil or an external leak after running 15-20 mins while you look over everything. You'll hear misfiring or other basic engine issues, anything beyond that is more likely to be carb or ignition issues which are cheap and easy. You can see if prop is damaged, you can see play in cutlass bearings (also real cheap and easy), you can see play in rudder or feel stiff steering (little more pricey and involved). You can inspect for hull damage, delamination, stringer rot ('92 is likely wood), etc.
Water test is not a huge deal but more of a nice to have so far as I'm concerned. Use lack of water test if water is frozen or whatever as a negotiating tool to drop the price a bit. I think $6500 is a bit pricey for a small closed bow low freeboard ski boat with no PP and a cheap/fugly Monster tower. Monster reduces value IMO as to put a nice tower on you now have holes to patch and gel to match. If you're intended use is mostly slalom, then maybe it's a better deal for you personally... But for $6500 I think you can find a better towboat for wake sports.
I told the guy last night I would pass.
Thanks for the posts guys!!
I asked for his address and he never gave it to me.
Works every time for ratting out a scammer.

July is just around the corner, a good month for most Americans to take their annual vacations. Accordingly this is the time of the year that experts advise us to unplug from our virtual world and join the physical world where our real connections actually live. Time to practice Nongkrong.
Read On:
For starters, how wired is America? According to CTIA, the wireless association, 90 percent of America's population (313.5 million) owns a mobile phone and there are an estimated 332 million mobile phone subscribers. Are you one of those readers that has more than one subscription? Back in March Nieslen reported that 53 percent of mobile subscribers own a smartphone. On average, Americans spend 2.7 hours per day (source: Digital Buzz Blog) socializing on their mobile device – twice the amount of time we spend eating.
What about social networking? The Pew Internet & American Life Project indicates that 66% of online American adults use social networking sites. Retrevo Gadegetology studies indicates that 56% of social networkers check in everyday, 12% every couple of hours. The under 25 crowd revealed that 19% of those surveyed definitely check in if they wake up in the middle of the night, 32% check in as soon as they wake up. No surprise given that the Pew Research Center reported back in 2010 that 83% of Millennials sleep with their mobile phones.
Based on the above statistics, we all need to learn how to unplug, but better yet I advocate it is time to practice nongkrong. What is Nongkrong? It is Indonesia's slang word for hanging/chilling out – sitting, talking and doing nothing. So I recommend when you finally go on vacation leave your virtual world behind and join the physical world where your spouse, children, friends, partners and pets actually live and enjoy some Nongkrong.
I am curious, when was the last time you experienced Nongkrong?

Mergers and Acquisitions Recap: Lust for London Metal, Spectrum Deal
CME Group (NASDAQ:CME) and Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE) remain in the running to acquire the London Metal Exchange, but NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX) is no longer, after its reported bid of £800 million was rejected as insufficient.
AT&T (NYSE:T) and U.S. Cellular (NYSE:USM) are purchasing spectrum from cable operator Cox, for $304 million; the former's share will cover 8 states, and the latter's 5. AT&T is currently seeking new airwave buys following the failure of the T-Mobile deal, alongside the spectrum transfer that was part of AT&T's breakup fee. The that end, the firm is said to have been in discussions to acquire Leap Wireless (NASDAQ:LEAP), and possibly an offer for Dish Network (NASDAQ:DISH) as well.
Investing Insights: NVIDIA Strikes Potentially Lucrative Deal With This Gaming Company.
A possible initial public offering by Coty this summer, which would value it in a range between $6 billion and $7 billion, could well explain the withdrawal of its bid to buy Avon (NYSE:AVP). CNBC reports that Coty has chosen underwriters for the IPO, which dashes rumors (hopes?) that its bid pullback for Avon was just a negotiating tactic.
German utility E.ON (EONGY.PK) divests its natural gas transmission grid to a consortium led by the Australian bank Macquarie (MQBKY.PK) for the price of €3.2 billion, or $4.07billion, in a move designed to reduce its debt amid a weak domestic electricity market. For its part, the buyer will obtain a network that comprises approximately 70 percent of Germany's total annual shipping volume.

Looks a touch over saturated to me Bobo.
It has brought up the green algae in the water too much and the water, plus the side feathers have taken on that cast.
Either that or you may have actually made it greener in PP with a WB adjustment?
Thanks Dave.
Pic 2 was a deliberate over-saturation to see how the colours would come out. Problem is I can see the increase of green and the less then good colour of the water, but cannot see the colour cast. Grrrrr.
How does brightness and contrast in pic 2 appear to you?
Normally all I do is a bit of levels or maybe curves, bring up the details a bit, denoise and sharpen if needed.
So is the original good to go colour-wise ?
Thanks again Dave.
Should not have got one with the vivid colours type screen. They seem to make colours in pics look slightly dullish then they really are. Will need to keep things in check on this notebook!
But on the other hand, movies on those multi-hour plane trips look absolutely wonderful.....
Yes, just noticed the slight haloing.
The thing about not trying to make pics look good FOR this screen seems the way to handle pp on this notebook.

Kiernan is the author of Last Rights: Rescuing the End of Life from the Medical System which was published by St. Martins Press and is now in its third printing. Kiernan will discuss his book, which was the result of more than 500 interviews with individuals and families about how, over the past three decades, a variety of medical advances have extended lives and fundamentally changed the way we die and view the process of dying. His interviews were with health care providers, as well as many individuals who have experienced their own very personal end of life situations involving loved ones, which have ranged from long and painful to peaceful and dignified. This is a powerful book about an important and timely topic, both here in Vermont and nationally, said PMC President James L. Daily. We are pleased to provide this opportunity to members of our community to learn more about a complex and meaningful issue that either has, or will, affect nearly everyone at some point in their life.

The Tasting:19 spirits journalists, bartenders, chefs, and vodka aficionados tasted 32 flavored vodkas in seven separate categories: Citrus, Fruits, Tea, Espresso, Soda Pop/Candy, Misc. and Spice. The judges were informed of the categories and flavors, but the products were served "blindly". Strict tasting rules applied. The order of service was established beforehand by lottery. Each were poured into fresh glasses from new sealed bottles, and served at slightly above room temperature. Only ice water and neutral unflavored bar snacks were available to cleanse the palate. The judges tasted through 4 flights of 7 flavored vodkas, plus 1 flight of 4; with food served during a rest period after the third flight. Impressions of each of the flavored vodkas were written down by the judges on score sheets. Scoring was done on a 5-point system, with 5 as the best. The tasting notes are summaries of the judges' opinions. Double-Gold, Gold and Silver medals are awarded based on a set range of final point scores received from the judges.
The Results:
Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso U.S.A. Espresso & hazelnut nose, perfect hazelnut coffee flavor, vanilla, sweet, toasty, very smooth, so hazelnut, love it. Double Gold Medal
Dizzy Three Espresso U.S.A. Brewed coffee aroma, authentic coffee flavor, espresso taste, light coffee & cream, perfect balance of coffee & vodka, wood notes, light style, good shot, clean fresh light finish. Gold Medal
Local Choice Espresso U.S.A. Espresso aroma, good coffee flavor, rich beans, strong coffee, toffee, nutty, amaretto notes, sweet, packs a punch, toasty finish. Gold Medal

Small tits, blonde tranny, Sexy TS Ryley, gets her favorite protein - black seed! She sucks so hard and so good that her Black stud can't last that long. He quickly busts a nut all over her face and the bed. She gladly licks it all up: off the bed, off her arm, off his cock. Hot and sexy doesn't begin to describe this scene! You can see her cock dangling as she girates back and forth, worshiping her BBC. She even wears a sexy negligee that goes all up in her butt crack. This is a horny tgirl with real cocksucking skills. Her delicious, small hormone tits, alone, will have your cock ready to explode. Enjoy.
So, the sexy, petite Lana Heart is what you call, "a sneaky bitch". Her sex appeal is her power over this crooked photographer. Lana likes to play the sweet and innocent role, when in actuality, she likes pain. Her idea of a first date would be an MMA match – with her and her date! I cant make this stuff up; Lana Heart is a hardcore Tranny!
The video starts out with the photographer in obvious annoyance over the fact that his secretary cant find something hes looking for. In walks Lana, sexy, casual, gorgeous in all white. The do the small talk, taking her pics, etc, when they decide that maybe they can take pics another time – this was the time they were going to make the most of their opportunity.
Lana sucks this photographer off nice and soft, with her long flowing brunette hair, looking ever so feminine. Before you know it, he is sucking her! And not only that, Lana has him sucking her sweet lollipop while she stands in front of him, and while she rides his face.
Some very hot action is towards the end, when the do the 69, both sucking each others tasty cocks at the same time! You can tell that they may be being filmed, but they are definitely NOT acting; they are liking what they do very much!
Lastly, the photographer gives Lana a huge cumshot on her face. He feels happy and relieved. Lana is also happy for that; but when the photographer goes to clean up in the bathroom, Lana has a devious plan of her own…….
TS Kimber Haven sneaks up TS Raven Roxx getting something to eat in the kitchen. Kimber tells her that if she's hungry, she has exactly what Raven needs. Before you know what happened, Raven is on her knees giving Kimber an eager blowjob. As you see Kimber's horse cock growing in Raven's mouth, you wonder if it will all fit in there once it gets hard? After Kimber has a nice, long fuck session with Raven's mouth, she orders her to bend over and then the real fun begins. Kimber makes Raven get down in the doggystyle position, making her stick her ass out further, and further, with her back arched. Raven's ass up in the air only makes Kimber's cock even harder.....and bigger! Kimber strokes her real good - before pounding Raven's ass good and hard, hollowing her out! After a really good lunch session, Kimber feels that Raven deserves a reward, so she strokes her cock good and fast, until she spews a huge load all over Raven's waiting face, giving her one of the sexiest facials you've ever seen with 2 trannies!
Small Cock and Hard Anal Dildo Play
Raven Roxx turns the heat up a few notches with this one. She wanted to show us everything that she loves to do. Once she heard "Action", that was all it took. Raven grabbed her cock and tits, started rubbing, stroking, and massaging. From there on out, Raven was in her own world and we were only witnesses! She loves spreading her ass cheeks and asshole. More than that, she loves to stick fingers and toys up her ass. She first toys her asshole while in the upright position, beginning her lovely dildo fuck session with her waiting, hungry asshole. With her panties already off, she has all the freedom in the world to get wherever she wants to. She spreads her ass cheeks, sticks that dildo up her ass, and moans with pleasure over and over while she long strokes her butthole. At the end of this video, she is on her back spreading her ass cheeks and asshole very wide! She then does the same thing while on her face and knees. This video is a masturbation dream!
3 Minutes 48 Seconds of Ass Spreading and Gaping!
It was the end of a nice, productive video shoot; there was only one thing left to do - show everyone that loose hole that she's been wearing out all night! A true beauty, I'm not sure which Raven likes more, having her asshole fucked hard, long, and deep.....or having that used gaping hole stretched and ruined after the shoot? It's hard for many guys to 'not' imagine their cock sliding in and out of that loose, gaping tranny butthole, it's inevitable. Raven stretches it, it's loose, oily, wide open, and craving cock(s). If all this wasn't good enough, Raven is told to get on her knees and put her face in the mattress - and spread that delicious box! Now, fellas, you can imagine your cock AND your tongue stroking in and out of this gorgeous shemale pussy! She loves it!
Mature TS Raven Roxx Strokes Her Tiny Cock
Raven loves stroking her little white cock. In this video you can see her taking her craft seriously. Working the camera, working that cock, making those sexy faces! Yes, Raven Roxx is the real deal. She gets a hand from her makeup artist, opening the bottle, and then oozing lube all over Raven's waiting hand and cock. From there, it's a race for stroke-fest! There aren't many times when Raven isn't horny. She was caught earlier in the day at this hotel, for stroking her lovely cock in the hotel "business center", around the corner from the reception desk. Ooohhh....that was a fun time, when the manager came inside to use the copier. But that's another video. From there on out, Raven made it a point to make up for lost time, once she started filming. Succulent natural 'D' tits, a small little white cock that's just the right size, a round little bubble butt made for drilling and pounding, and her gorgeous face...AND she's a submissive! She loves to be told what to do and loves to follow orders. Who knows.....maybe we can make a video of a fan being her "Daddy for the Day". I can tell you now that Raven is thinking that exact thought while she's stroking her cock!

Health expenses continue up, up, up. This presents a problem – as well as a good topic for writing that is powerful and argumentative. Source: Health is actually a hot button problem in politics today. Since the first-term as President of Obama, the nation continues to be debating the way best to retain the expenses of this protection down and how best to supply medical coverage for the United States' citizenry. If you want to teach your children how exactly to publish – especially how to write persuasively – then you need interesting, exciting issues in order for them to come up with. Health change is such a, matter that is current that is warm that kids are currently going to have views about this. It is an excellent schedule for a powerful essay writing process.
Please be as detailed as you are able to inside your clarification.
If you, you are going to realize that it is important for learners to get some details where to base their justifications. Reasons can be, spurred by divisive governmental problems, like healthcare reform centered more on appreciation and view than details, so before your learners produce it really helps to designate some reading. Time Magazine released a great guide by Brill in January – "." While in the report, Brill does good quality quaint literature to strike among the origin difficulties in healthcare – why will be the charges so substantial? The content can be a tad long, and you will not need to designate your students the entire point. It would, nevertheless, be a superb thought to excerpt a number of pages to accompany the prompts each that you give to your learners. Five Subjects for Pupils to Create Essays About Each one of the topics and tasks under were inspired by the Brill guide above. I declare that the instructor, you, read the post so that you've got some of the facts and a company understanding about the problems.
This bid outlines how much they are ready to do the undertaking for.
Subsequently, you're able to decide what (if anything) you would like your students to learn to share with their particular views. Should there be limits on the charges drugmakers and hospitals cost for several medicines? New, superior medications are necessary to treat diseases like melanoma. These drugs frequently cost several thousand bucks per treatment right and hospitals will often mark these drugs' price up-even more if patients are billed by them. The individual generally has little to no selection within the issue, and there's no opposition as might happen in a standard market to assist drive charges down. Drug makers, around the other hand, claim that substantial charges are necessary to finance study and development. Brill has some interesting figures to challenge that assertion, and before you make up the mind, you should wish to examine his findings. Nonetheless, there's independence a simple question about freemarket economics, and equity associated with this problem. Must there be limits to clinic administrators' wages?
I wasn???t even the number-one inside our category or really a wonderful student.
Certainly one of Brill's results is the fact that hospital CEOs as well as other administrators are paid incomes that are outsized – frequently inside the superior six figures as well as eight figures. Than the university leader, a medical facility supervisor is usually settled more in hospitals mounted on study universities' case. Where mind soccer trainers are paid excessive wages this really is equivalent in certain approaches to the salary arms race going on in college sports. In the structure of things, expenses wo n't be probably brought by lowering administrative incomes down significantly. Nevertheless it merely appears like advisable. It's also intriguing to notice that lots of of those hospitals aren't-forprofit organizations. Should hospital fees be attached right of providing a particular service to the expense?
Pupils may enter authentic art in virtually any method; including (e.g.
There will be of Brill's guide a consistent concept the "chargemaster" checklist. It's a list of charges for unique services and items used at a clinic, and it's really the cornerstone for several costs billed to insurance firms also to persons. These lists have no plausible connection to the actual cost of services, and they frequently create excessively high mark-ups (1000% to 2000%) on the real price. There is an alternative solution approach, which Medicare uses. It brings over a determined listing of what it truly costs to supply something for managing medicare patients when the government reimburses hospitals. These costs are substantially less than those about the chargemaster. A fascinating change may be to connect the prices of charges for this Medicare payment list, after which let a particular markup for the hospitals to create a profit.
Superior ethics paper state details.
Must more are paid by folks that are uninsured for that solutions that are same? A problem of the American health method is that uninsured (or underinsured) people encounter steep expenses if they goto a medical facility. These expenses are based on the previously-mentioned, outrageously over priced chargemaster. Lower rates are negotiated by insurance providers, when it pays for Medicare individuals and also the government demands on the particular agenda of fees. Nevertheless folks who've no insurance are in the hospital's mercy, and they should pay whatever them charge. To generate things worse, people typically have no idea howmuch until after they've been addressed they're going to be incurred. This begs the question of be it good for some people to pay for much more for healthcare than those who find themselves included in insurance. Should there be restrictions on malpractice (i.ert reform)?
Russell museum complex in great falls.
To the careful aspect, one argument about healthcare is the fact that prices are not so low since hospitals and physicians need to be worried about negligence lawsuits. One incorrect action and they're on the line for millions of dollars of responsibility. If they don't exhaust every choice, they may be about the catch for that. Brill implies that this leads to massive over-screening, and physicians are purchasing all sorts of assessments (like CT Runs) that are not actually vital. By shrinking the principles for appearing negligence – i.equiring true neglect on the doctor's part – you free hospitals from your should work excessive checks to just include their butts. This may help bring paying down dramatically, although the counter-argument is that this could bring about care that is substandard. Manage.

How to make the best use of 10 days between Board and JEE Mains
March 12, 2017 Leave a comment
The biggest concern of students after the board is over is how to make the best use of the remaining 7-10 days to JEE mains. This year too, there is about a week's time that students will get after their board exam. So how can you make the best use of your 7 days. Here are some guidelines.
Revise your strong points: This sounds contrary but revising your strong points will only make you more confident about scoring better in JEE mains. Remember that your strong points are the ones that will make all the difference. Make a list of formulas, exceptions, tricky problems etc. and go through it once more. It shouldn't take you more than 2-3 days.
Revise 11th materials: Since you have just taken board exam, your 12th portion is taken care of. The knowledge is still fresh in your mind. Hence 12th is not concern. Go through 11th chapters and revise quickly. Here I am assuming that you haven't forgotten everything that you studied in class 11th. If you have taken notes in your class or coaching, go through the notes. If your coach is still accessible, approach him or her for quick help on topics which you may need little help.
Avoid any new topic: This is not the time to learn new things but to consolidate what you already know. Learning new things will only take your valuable time which should be used for revision. For example, if you have ignored complex number till now, it will not help to waste time on learning it now. Time is too less for such a complex topic.
Take plenty of sleep and keep dehydrated: It is summer and water is crucial. Keep dehydrated. Sleep for 8-10 hours for a day or so just after the board to rejuvenate and take on JEE Mains.
Make a note of formulas and read them before going to bed: This is the best way to remember formulas and notes. Whatever you take at the end of the day, remains as fresh when you wake up in the morning. Do not think unnecessary thoughts before sleeping. It will only delay your sleep and eat into your valuable time.

Today was such a day; bright sun, comfortable temperatures, a small campfire (the first one this year) and a bizarre tale with a twist..... which is basically why I am writing this.
It all started quite relaxed; some breakfast, a bit of fiddling around the house, looking at the plants coming up, like the 5 bits of garlic I planted last autumn as a test. They came up, all 5 of them! After lunch I headed out into the woods again to gather more firewood and while I was working I was caught by the sight of a bright yellow butterfly, happily flapping about. I enjoyed it and its very bright colour lighting up in the sun. After a while I went back to work and very soon I spotted a second one, quite close by. I looked at that one for a while too and went back to work...... Untill a third one appeared, seemingly popping up out of nowhere, just like the other 2... Now wait a minute.... Those reading here regularly know I firmly believe in stuff like totemanimals, messengers and such and these encounters rung a bell, deep down in back of my head.... And in my mind I asked the still closeby flapping butterfly, if it was there with a message.... and if it might be time to start talking serious business with a certain person... and seemingly out of thin air another one appeared next to the other! I was a bit baffled... I put down the axe and took a short break.
Shortly afterwards my wife and daughters showed up to see how I was doing and I told her the story, while the girls were running around. She gave me a meaningfull look. After they had left I sat down for a while, thinking about what had happened and I was disturbed in my thoughts when my oldest daughter came back on her bicycle. She stayed with me or near me for the rest of the afternoon and not a single butterfly came near me. They seemed to seek her out though and she came to me telling me the butterflies seemed to appear out of thin air! I must have looked at her funny, judging by her "What?"-reaction.
At the end of the afternoon, when I got tired, we packed up, hopped on our bicyles and headed home. As we approached the main road, we heard someone honking his cars horn behind us. That could only be one person, since only he lives on this road. Yep, the one I should talk to about some serious business. For some reason I told my daughter to stop at the crossroads and we waited for him. We talked a while and I asked him how things were going at the greenhouse. He told me the seeds were sprouting and we should maybe plan a little ahead. I then asked him when I should join him and his wife at the greenhouse again and he quite bluntly replied:" As far as I am concerned I would not mind you taking over the whole thing......"
I was perplexed!
And when I told my wife she was slightly less surprised....
After dinner we lit a fire and sat around, talked a little, had some coffee, the kids ran around having fun and at the end we created a house on fire... by putting an old birdhouse on the fire. Created quite a spectacular sight, but the best part of a fire to me, is the way it enables the mind to roam free, thinking your thoughts and then empty your head. Could use that after a day like this... Sitting by the fire, hearing the sound of the storlom/loon echoing across the lakes and then, all of a sudden, there was the characteristic sound of an enkelbeckasin (Gallinago gallinago). Saw its silhouette against the darkening sky, too.
What more have I been up to?
Not really much actually. Like I said we have been sowing seeds and I have been busy gathering and cutting wood. I was allowed to use a woodcuttingmachine, which actually cuts the wood, it doesn't saw it!
You can shove in a 30cm thick birchtree and the machine cuts it, like a pair of pliers! Frightfull amount of force!
The good thing of gathering wood is that you see and experience a lot of things, that are happening at this time. You see nature waking up all around you, since you spend quite a bit of time in one place and get to see it in detail. One of the details I saw today, was my first sighting of the only venomous snale in Sweden; the huggorm. My daughter almost stepped on one, which was lying in the sun and after she had left, I studied it in peace. Beautiful animal; dark grey with black diamonds on the back. Saw the first honeybee of the season too! One of the best parts of spring is seeing the many migratingbirds coming back. Last week 3 species over 1 night!
Other than that I am filling my days with meetings regarding our professional future, gathering info and such and (re)reading a lot of plantrelated books. Much of what was thought to be lost, is slowly coming back.

The art world can be an intimidating and exclusive space which often deters willing, affluent, buyers from participating. START will aim to bridge the gap in the art world for young art collectors who are looking for affordable art, students needing guidance on how to pursue a career in art and families who want to foster an appreciation for art with their own children but can't do this through the existing formal mediums of contemporary fairs and galleries.
On Saturday, 8 September 2018, the festival will take visitors on a journey through various art mediums from production to curation, in paint to virtual reality.
With a focus on women in art, this inaugural event will host emerging artists in an exhibition space, a print pop up, workshops, illustrators, a talks programme and interactive installations. The space will facilitate an opportunity for all visitors from children to adults to participate in various workshops.
Our partnership with The Keyes Art Mile and the proximity to the established galleries in Rosebank makes St Teresa's the perfect location to host an event where families and a younger audience can share their appreciation for art during the cultural highlight of the year, Art Week Joburg.

Online Application Form 5 Mins Process
Average Turnaround 3 – 10 working days
A Basic Disclosure is a criminal record check, more commonly known as a CRB check or Basic CRB. A Basic Disclosure checks an individuals' criminal record and results in a certificate providing details of an applicant's unspent convictions. Under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 as outlined by the government this level of criminal record check is available to any individual or employers. This is the most commonly required level of criminal record check and should be the level you are requesting if the Standard and Enhanced requirements do not apply to you.
For our 3 step guide to getting your Online CRB application underway in minutes either online or with a paper application form just click here to be taken to our Basic Disclosure page or call us on 01372 279 276 for more information. Lines are open from 9am to 5.00pm.
Standard DBS Checks show details of both a candidate's unspent and spent convictions as well as any cautions received. As the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 protects applicants from having to disclose details of spent cautions and convictions unless they are applying for a position that is exempt from the act, we recommend that anyone wishing to obtain a Standard DBS ensures that the position applied for allows for a Standard DBS – such positions include those involved in the legal system, licencing, health services, police, prisons or positions with financial control.
Enhanced DBS checks are essential for applicants who will be working with children or vulnerable adults as depending on an individual's criminal record history they may be unsuitable for such positions. An Enhanced DBS check covers both spent and unspent convictions, a Barred List check (which checks if an individual is on a list of people barred from working with children or vulnerable adults), as well as any other information that the police hold on the individual that they feel it is relevant to disclose.

Aya Brackett's 5 Essentials for Improving Your Food Photography
Aya Brackett is an accomplished fine art and commercial photographer. She worked as a photo editor for Dwell magazine for four years and has won numerous awards for her fine art photography, which often focuses on food. You can see her work in Sunset, Bon Appetit, Martha Stewart, Elle, The New York Times and in numerous books and cookbooks.
Today she shares with us her five essentials (and a few extra hints) for improving your food photography.
Look for Aya's most recent work in the February 2014 issue of Sunset magazine where she photographed her brother, chef Sylvan Mishma Bracket, making udon (above). She also did the photography for the cookbook Bitter by Jennifer McLogin (10 Speed Press, Fall 2014) which involved shooting all manner of bitter foods like coffee, chicory, and citrus peels.
Aya also likes to 'paint with food' in her fine art work. Most recently she has been exploring the tension between edibility, beauty and disgust in her new series color photographs called Soiled. "There is beauty and also sadness in food which has been dropped to the ground and sullied," she says. "(The work is) inspired by the interplay of color and texture and an attempt to see food in a perplexing way."
1. The most important thing is light.
No matter what kind of camera you're using, if it's a phone or a fancy SLR, it's the light that's most important. Light is characterized in terms of temperature. Interior light bulbs have a warm and yellow-y light whereas sunlight is a much cooler, bluer light. If you mix the two, the camera doesn't know what to neutralize and you'll get a muddy result. So it's important to choose one or the other.
When I'm shooting in my kitchen from my phone for an Instagram photo, I'll always turn off the light and just use the light that's coming in the window. The light from a window is very beautiful. You have the light coming in from an angle on one side and it creates a shadow on the other.
It's sometimes nice to not have a bunch of conflicting shadows which is what you'll get if you have an overhead light and a couple of side lights — it can make your photograph look too cluttered. Too many shadows are overlapping. So again, try for a single source of light.
2. Play with bouncing the light.
If you position white foam core cards near your shot, they will bounce the light back onto the subject. This will help to fill some of the shadows or you can also use a black card in the same way to deepen the shadows. You can even get foam core that has white on one side and black on the other. Or you can buy a big piece, score it down the middle and fold it at a 45-degree angle so you can prop it up to stand on its own.
3. Pay attention to the background.
I like to be sure that there's nothing distracting in the background that's not adding to the photo, like a dirty dishrag or a pile of books. Sometimes it's easy to focus on what you're shooting and not notice the background. Taking those things away can really focus the shot. Of course, sometimes you want that dirty dishcloth in the photo! Just be aware and look at the whole shot.
4. Hints for making food look good.
As a rule for all photography, your photo is only as good as your subject matter. If you're shooting vegetables, dunk the whole thing in water and then shake it out so they're fresh and revived. When I'm on shoots, the stylists put wet paper towels on fresh ingredients so that they don't wilt. Especially herbs or little delicate greens which will wilt really quickly. Or keep a spritz bottle full of water handy.
Cutting into things is good, too. If you have English peas, open up the pod so you can see the peas inside. Or take a slice out of the pie and let all the filing ooze out. I was shooting radicchio for the Bitter cookbook and it was tightly closed up, so I started just loosening up the leaves and gently unfolding it and all of the sudden it was this beautiful flower — peony red on the outside with a white center.
5. Shoot at many angles.
Shoot several versions, different angles. Start out with what you think is the most inspiring approach but then be sure to try it out a few different arrangements, different angles (above, straight on, from all sides) and at different heights. It might end up making a better picture!
Bonus Hints!
On using your flash on your phone. It's really an aesthetic choice. If you want that kind of over-exposed, punk rock look, then use your flash.
On taking pictures in a restaurant. I never take pictures in restaurants. It's usually at night, the light is often yellowy and the food ends up looking awful. If it's during the day and I'm by a window, then I might get a good shot. Otherwise, it's impossible to control the light and if you can't control the light, then forget it. Of course, you could take a picture as a form of note taking, for documentation, but as far as getting a beautiful photo, it's almost impossible. A long time ago I decided to just stop trying.
On painting with food. I really love doing still life work. I pretend that I'm painting. I work with the color and texture of the food and the background color and texture. It's like I'm composing a painting with what's in front of me. I really have fun with that, working slowly. It's what I choose to do on my own time, so that's saying something!
Food is so compelling in color and texture and cultural significance. I focus a lot on food when I'm traveling, too. It's so much fun to see what people are eating and to explore what's delicious in Paris, what's delicious in Oaxaca.
Favorite new phone app: Cycloramic. It takes hands-free, 360-degree panoramic pictures with your cell phone. You prop it up on a flat surface and it will start vibrating. The vibrations move the phone and the phone takes a bunch of pictures and you end up with a seamless panoramic.
What are you cooking these days? Impromptu soups for lunch! I put a little clay hot pot on the stove and add some leftover rice and a dashi that also has a little mirin and a little soy sauce, then greens from the garden — mizuna, chrysanthemum, mustard —- then an egg, maybe some chopped scallions. I stir it all up and it becomes thick and creamy, like a congee. Oh and some kimchi, too!
Thank you Aya!

Pre-Departure Orientation for 2017-2018 Romanian Fulbright Grantees and Independent Students
- Details
The event began in the morning with a series of welcome speeches by distinguished guest speakers representing the U.S. Embassy in Romania, the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Fulbright Board of Directors and the Romanian academia, who shared their thoughts on the Fulbright program and congratulated the grantees.
Throughout the day the Romanian Alumni together with several U.S. Grantees participated in panel discussions, offering practical information to the current grantees and independent students preparing to start their U.S. experience. The Romanian Fulbright alumni also shared personal impressions about their grant in the US, as well as about their return to Romania and re-adjustment. Specific details and advice on J&F visas were provided by Vice Consul Lindsey Whitehead, Consular Section, U.S. Embassy Bucharest, who joined us for a presentation and kindly answered questions from the addressees. This year the event also included a new section dedicated to the six scholars of the Fulbright-RAF Award program, who received useful pre-departure guidance from a RAF representative together with an alumnus of the RAF Scholar Award pilot program.
The following day a reception to honor the brand-new Romanian grantees, the alumni, officials, as well as scientific and cultural figures who have been supporters of this prestigious program, was hosted by HE Hans G. Klemm, the United States Ambassador to Romania, at his residence. Welcome addresses were delivered by HE Hans G. Klemm, the U.S. Ambassador to Romania, and Dr. Remus Pricopie, the Chair of the Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission Board of Directors, who insisted on the importance of the Fulbright program and the extraordinary impact that cultural and scientific exchanges between our two countries have had. The festivity also celebrated participants in the Fulbright Capacity Building workshop, an international academic event organized by the Fulbright Commission, taking place throughout the week.
