This workshop will cover the fundamentals of the Canon Speedlite flash system and demonstrate creative lighting techniques using a single Speedlite flash. It will feature a series of presentations, discussions, and live shooting sessions that will clearly demonstrate the basic knowledge you need to get started using the Canon Speedlite system.
In this four-hour class, we will discuss how the Canon Speedlite system works, demystify the "buttonology", and learn how to use a single flash to create simple, yet professional looking portraits. You will also learn the best methods for controlling flash exposure, balancing flash with natural light, and creating images that appear to be lit with multiple lights; ….all from just one flash.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their DSLRs and Speedlites to follow along and to have all their questions answered during the Q&A sessions and during breaks.
Learn all about:
- Canon Speedlite "buttonology" and operation
- ETTL vs Manual exposure
- Flash Exposure Compensation
- Balancing flash with available light
- Modifying flash for softer light
- "One Flash" portrait lighting techniques

Eats this week - Salads, Fruit, and a Cashew Dip Treat!
First up a MASSIVE Salad. I wish you could see how big this bowl was! The salad turned out awesome! It has 5 different kinds of lettuce in there, mini cucumbers, raw walnuts, 2 different colors of sweet bell peppers, and I topped it with a Braggs Dressing that had Ginger and a few other things in there. Also on top is Garlicky Green Vegan Parm.
I was able to find a few different kinds of Apples yesterday - including Grapples that are NOT pictured. Cantaloupe - YAY - I hope to make a smoothie or at the very least Cantaloupe Milk with it. A few oranges - hopefully I will make some dressings with those. And MORE kiwi fruit!
Later in the day I bought 3 bananas and will be freezing them either today or tomorrow after they have ripened a bit more. (Frozen and in smoothies are the only way I can stomach Bananas!)
The Salad was amazing and I can't wait to have another one!
Spirulina Chips left from a while back and wanted to get rid of them. The reason I bought them was because they were Spirulina based but when I got them and tried one I knew right away they had a good amount of banana in them. Oye.
Well, last night I attempted to make a Cashew Dip and OMG it turned out AWESOME. I dipped the Go Raw Spirulina Chips in it and PROBLEM SOLVED it was an AWESOME Combo! I am going to be doing a recipe for The Raw Food World NEWS Site but I will tell you NOW that I used Cashew Butter, Lemon Juice, Coconut Oil, and Coconut Aminos in this recipe and now I'm kind of addicted to it!

A cashew dip. Oooo...that must taste awesome here. Rarely have cashew nuts here, so expensive...but a must-have come every Chinese New Year festival celebration to serve guests dropping by - we just bake/toast in the oven and toss in a bit of butter...or sprinkle salt. Love it!ReplyDeleteReplies
I've never made a Cashew Dip that tasted quite like this before but it was VERY tasty! Yes...Cashews are expensive - all nuts are around this area - which is frustrating - but since I have deleted dairy from my diet - I have increased nut based foods.Delete
Everything looks great. Skin brushing, cold showers and exercise are other ways to get your lymphatic system moving. I take cold showers daily.ReplyDeleteReplies
I haven't done Skin brushing as of yet but am thinking about it. I know I SHOULD. I should look into a BRUSH :) Thanks!!!!Delete
Looks like my daily food intake! :) You could also make ice cream out of the frozen bananas! Add chocolate or berries and blend it in a high powered blender. Amazing!ReplyDeleteReplies
I hope to try a berry flavored one soon! It's been so cold here all I have wanted to eat is hot stuff! LOLDelete
Great eats and the cashew dip sounds wonderful! I've tried skin brushing but have not made a refular habit of it yet, the brushes aren't expensive on Amazon. And ice cream made with fozen bananas is amazing, I need to make more now! :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I found a skin brush on TRFW and I hope to get it with my next order :)Delete
That, my friend, is an epic looking salad! It looks so good! Fresh & vibrant and delicious. I wish I could grab it through my monitor ;pReplyDelete
I actually quite love those spirulina chips on their own, I remember the banana taste being something I really enjoyed haha ;p But cashew cheese makes everything better!Replies
Thanks! It was tasty! I actually did a similar one the following day, too!Delete

Romain Grosjean's third place finish at Spa has brought him firmly back into the spotlight, after one-and-a-half years of subpar results in poor machinery.
Grosjean's transition from a 'first lap nutcase' to a regular podium finisher in 2013 is well known. However, the advent of the new turbo era in 2014 and the corresponding drop in Lotus' form has sidelined him from the headlines.
The team that secured 14 podium finishes - and a victory - in 2013, scored just 10 points the following year, with all but two of them grabbed by Grosjean.
2015 and a switch to Mercedes engines brought new hope, but continued talks of a Renault buyout has meant that little money is flowing into the squad from its current owner. This has had a negative impact on the development of the car.
All of that changed at Spa, however, where Grosjean finished on the podium, with a car/engine package that suited the low-downforce requirements of the track.
His rise from ninth on the grid (after the penalty) was applaudable, particularly his clean move over Perez at Les Combes. Although Grosjean is a mature driver now, we've seen him make those odd mistakes, for instance during this year's Canadian Grand Prix.
This result came a day after he qualified his Lotus E23 Hybrid in fourth place, within touching distance of Williams' Valtteri Bottas, the leading non-works Mercedes-powered car
While his podium finish has reminded the paddock of his potential in a competitive car, his prospects of joining a top team in 2016 look rather bleak: Ferrari has retained Raikkonen for another year, Red Bull is not looking for drivers outside of its juniour programme, both Rosberg and Hamilton are locked in multiple-year contracts, while the Williams' driver line up is also expected to remain unchanged.
This means staying at Lotus is the best option for the Frenchman. Especially if Renault decides to buy the team and inject much needed millions into a capable, but downsided outfit.
The 2017 regulations would provide a level playing field for the French squad. Further, without unnecessary interference from Red Bull - if they jump ship - Renault are likely to make strides in the power unit department as well.
Until then, Grosjean can continue to get the best out of the machinery under his belt - as he has done for the past few years.

Hello all - this is a brief post to introduce myself to the class (and the other blog members) and to say how much I'm looking forward to visiting later this month.
Sam Ford was kind enough to invite me to be part of the course, and I've very much enjoyed reading the blog posts so far and following the discussion from afar that way. The other media coverage of the course has also been very interesting (and quite exciting).
I look forward to meeting all of you in person! If there's anything you'd like to find out about me or my work prior to my visit, feel free to ask.
Cheers, Fiona McQuarrie

The Summer Bee
This little guy was wandering around aimlessly near our pool a few weeks ago on one of those last hot summer days, which now seem so distant. I did what any photographer would do, of course, and crept in closely to immortalise my new friend, who was doing a little lone bee dance, I suspect, although I couldn't figure out the rhythm or the pattern.
There isn't much large wildlife (or action) in the suburbs of Cape Town so over the years I have built up a collection of insect shots - everything from dragonflies to praying mantises - but this is my first bee.
If you click through to any of the Flickr images you can see a slightly higher res photo with better detail.

Kevin Murphy's friends described the former Newport Beach city manager in a list of synonyms for "good" or "kind."
Those who remembered him Thursday said it always came down to how Murphy treated others.
"He was bright, he was hardworking, honest as the day is long," said Clarence Turner, a former councilman and mayor from 1986-1994. "You couldn't have asked for a better city manager in my view."
Murphy, Newport's city manager from 1992-1998 and a local resident, died of cancer Thursday at Hoag Hospital. He was 57.
Dennis O'Neil, a councilman from 1994-2002, tried to wrap up all of Murphy's qualities in one fell swoop.
"One on one, he was a very fine, personable, lovely, kind, considerate, genuine, wonderful human being," he said. "He was a devoted family man. I just can't say enough about him. He is truly one of those people who's come into my life that I felt was extremely positive."

I'll be in Vieques for a week at the W Resort next week. Was wondering was restaurant options are worth checking out. Has anyone eaten at the W's MiX and actually enjoyed it?
I found this list here: http://www.vieques-island.com/rest.shtml but I don't think the infrastructure and options are anywhere near as developed as San Juan.
On a side note, I'm coming into San Juan and staying in OSJ for a day, anybody have a recommendation between Marmalade and Dragonfly for a fine dinner? I want to do either Baru or the museum restaurant for lunch depending on whether we see the fort or the museum.

Head cysts are generally epidermoids and sebaceous cysts, and removing them simply requires a local anesthetic, a small incision and the squeezing out the contents. After putting a small stitch in place to close the incision, the doctor prescribes antibiotics in case of infection, according to WebMD.
Epidermoid cysts consist of fat and keratin. In addition to appearing on the face, they also show up on the chest, shoulders and neck, and they often are the result of acne or mild injuries to the skin. When they form as a result of inflammation near hair follicles, they are known as pilar cysts. They almost never grow larger than 2 inches across, and men are more likely to develop them than women are, reports WebMD.
Sebaceous cysts are quite rare and affect the oil glands that lie beneath the skin. These cysts are only linked with cancer in extremely rare cases, but it is wise to check them with a physician to make sure they are not a sign of something more dangerous, according to WebMD.
Some epidermoid cysts disappear without any treatment, and others come out after the application of warm compresses. If the cyst is bothersome, the removal process is quite simple, notes WebMD.

Last July, we celebrated DH's birthday with a fun weekend getaway to African Lion Safari. We have been there a couple of times before and on both occasions, we took the safari bus to go around the wildlife park. But this time, to change things up a bit, we decided to drive with our car inside the park. DD was fascinated at how close we were with most of the animals. We also did the usual boat and train rides and animal shows but I thought I'd capture her photo sitting prettily inside the car while we pass by the amazing safari animals.
Here is my layout…
I used Papertrey's Headline Alphabet and Edger #5 dies, bitty dots patterned paper, card from a Project Life kit and sticker from Simple Stories.
I am also linking this to Leigh Penner's Pages with Papertrey challenge here which is to scrapbook a birthday photo. I realized late that part of the challenge was to use a Papertrey stamp. I would like to substitute that for dies instead (hope that is okay :)).
Thanks for stopping by!

As an autism mom, I'm grateful for the idea I came up with inspired by my cousin Laci. She's a contemporary artist, http://lacimccrea.deviantart.com/ , and for fun, during seasonal times, she will paint store windows, etc.
Now on to the reason I'm grateful for her. My oldest son has an issue with being naked in his bedroom. I normally don't mind if he's naked in his bedroom. That is his space. However, He's going through puberty right now. Too much information? And his bedroom window faces my neighbor's, who happens to have two sweet little girls. I don't know if it is part of the puberty, but he has also become pretty destructive and knocks things off the walls, tables etc. He also rips things up. One of the things he likes to destruct is his curtains.I have tried blinds, curtains on a rod, curtains hooked into the little blinds clips, etc. He tears them all down the second he gets in his room. It's very frustrating to think of my pubescent son standing at the window in all his glory.
Last night, I said a prayer that I could figure out a solution that he couldn't destroy. This morning, I started thinking about my cousin, Laci, and her window paintings, and I realized that maybe I could try painting my son's windows. I knew that seasonal store window paintings would have to be washed off, so that also eased my mind about painting windows in a home that I rent.
I asked my cousin for advice on how to carry out my idea. She told me that any acrylic paints will work. The cheapest paints are harder to get off later because they are kind of thin and watery. She suggested finding the paints at an Art store or a craft store like Michaels. I decided to use white paint, so that it wouldn't darken his room. It turned out great, and the best part of all is that no one can see inside.
So grateful for a solution to this problem. If I ever need to, I can easily wash the paint off with soap and water.

Dear Reader,
As I wander through the lovely new world of Fedora 11 (in beautiful widescreen) I list some annoyances and fixes:
- For some reason the time is an hour fast. I suspect that this is because it is on GMT and not on BST. Syncing with time servers doesn't seem to make this work. Though if you set the time manually and then synch with ntp this seems to work out o.k. So maybe the daylight saving stuff only works on a change and you need to have the time set properly the first time.
- Setting up a proxy server for yum is a pain, and is very non-obvious. Though if you see the earlier post it is not very hard once you know how.
- The add/remove software tool (System-> Administration -> Add/Remove Software)seems a bit useless. In Ubuntu I used synaptic which was much better. For example clicking on any of the groupings on the left hand side of the GUI such as "GNOME Desktop" tells me that "No results were found" – why have an icon for all of them then? Solution: It turns out I needed to "Refresh the Package Lists" and then the icons return some packages. It would be better if I didn't have to do this – it took me several minutes to work this one out…
- Emacs doesn't appear to have anti-aliased text. In Ubuntu there is a emacs-snapshot package that provides anti-aliasing out of the box – perhaps there is a Fedora equivalent but I can't find it. I guess that means building from source.
- As in most distros the developments tools are not installed by default:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"Seems to solve that problem! Though finding a list of groups isn't obvious involves
yum grouplistthanks to The HungryCoder.

Managing success - Ebren
It's a persuasive and powerful argument. Benitez was brought in to re-generate Liverpool's success. Wenger turned Arsenal into one of the leading clubs in Europe. Ramos at Spurs won the club's first trophy in what seems like forever and Ranieri then Mourinho *cough*Grant*cough then Scolari have been in charge of Abramovic's millions at Chelsea.
The national team was managed by Sven before McClaren messed up and now Capello is in charge to put things back on track.
These things allow writers to wallow in the defeatist "our football's going to the dogs and only foreigners can rescue us" articles and sentiments that fill the back pages.
It has got to the stage that managers in Spain all want to work in England, where the standard of coaching is so bad that small improvements will see them soar up the league and hugely enhance their status and earning powers.
But does it actually make sense?
No, in a word.
Of the 20 Premier League clubs, only five are managed by people who were not born in the UK. And Roy Keane is numbered among that minority.
Moreover there are just three Scots (Moyes, Ferguson and Mowbary), one Welshman (Hughes) and one Northern Irish manager (O'Neil) who are not English in charge of top flight clubs – meaning fully half the Premier League's managers are English.
Moreover, there are at least as many managerial 'failures' as successes in recent years from overseas gaffers. Sven was let go after a year, Jol deemed not good enough, Grant was never up to it, Gullit has been found wanting, Santini was never in the mix at Spurs (and the less about Gross the better). Tigana couldn't cut it at Fulham and Perrin failed at Pompey.
Looking overseas, Spain has as many "foreigners" as the Premier League: Pellegrini is in charge of Villarreal, Aguirre is in charge at Atletico Madrid, Kresic at Numancia, and Schuster at Real Madrid. Italy fares better, with only Mourinho at champions Inter not being Italian.
But in an age where the Premier League has the funds to bring in any manager on the planet, the fact that 16 of the managers don't even have to show their passport go back to their home town and return to work the next day is surely something to celebrate.
English Premier League Clubs' Use Of Foreign Managers:

Everton - none
Fulham - Jean Tigana (French, 2000-03)
Hull City - Jan Molby (Danish, 2002)
Liverpool - Gerard Houllier (French, 1998-2004); Rafael Benitez (Spanish, 2004 -)
Manchester City - Sven-Goran Eriksson (Swedish, 2007-08)
Manchester United - none
Middlesbrough - none
Newcastle United - Ossie Ardiles (Argentinian, 1991-92); Ruud Gullit (Dutch, 1998-99)

Stoke City - Gudjon Thordason (Icelandic, 1999-2002); Johan Boskamp (Dutch 2005-06)
Sunderland - none
Tottenham Hotspur - Ossie Ardiles (Argentinian, 1993-94); Christian Gross (Swiss, 1997-98); Jacques Santini (French, 2004); Martin Jol (Dutch, 2004-07); Juande Ramos (Spanish, 2007 -)
West Bromwich Albion - Ossie Ardiles (Argentinian, 1992-93)
West Ham United - none
Wigan Athletic - none

Good piece of common sense. There's an interesting blog to be written on the _why_ of this myth. What is it about British sports journalism that encourages this kind of apocalyptic myth-making?

There's an interesting argument about "going to the dogs" that I think I read in David Winner's "Those Feet".
It goes something like.... In the 19th century through to about 1945 Britain was top dog (although "1066 And All That" places the date at 1918).
We were the most powerful nation on earth (or certainly a super-power) and the best at football (or so we thought).
Then nothing changed - in fact, since then the quality of life has risen year on year and the quality of football has risen year on year (most people would agree that the teams of today would beat those of the past).
But, despite this, we are no longer top dog so... the country must be going backwards.
It's the idea that we must be doing something wrong to not be the best in the world automatically – we don't know what (because fundamentally, nothing has changed) – so we lash out at anything and blame it. Foreigners, whining at refs, rich footballers, Sky etc.
Best explanation I have heard so far of the British "going to the dogs" obsession.

Very good point.
it's not a myth since the 4 top teams are managed by non-english managers, that could be a problem however if Wenger was coaching Portmouth or Everton, I don't think he could do a better job than the actual coaches (he could be probably worst).
Ramos and Scolari, Mourinho as well were hired because they are talented and successful coaches , besides foreign managers are always attracted by higher pay checks- Globalization has also something to do with this issue, players and managers are taking advantage of an open market-However I would be more concerned by the wild importation of players because that hurts the development of the young british prospects and I would be favorable to a restrictive policy-Having said that, with the exception of Brasil or Argentina, I think European football supremacy has always been changing from one country to another-each country had its cycle of superioriy, it was Germany, then France now Spain, Italy and England had their glorious period too-At the club level so far premier league is better than any other league including Spain, thanks to the Ronaldos, Drogbas and Torres - but this accomplishment happen to be a kiss of death for the british football.We just can't have it both way.
- August 26, 2008 at 2:43 PM
- Ebren said...
guitougoal - there are two separate questions here.
First is the influx of foreign players, second is the development of British youth.
Technically, the influx of foreign players does not hold back British youth.
Success elsewhere doesn't detract from success at home. The existence of Ronaldo does not make Messi or Rooney a worse player.
Potentially, the example of the top players in British clubs and in the league shows British youth how to play, raises the bar higher and means they see how these players become this good. Zola, Cantona and Desailly improved Lampard, Beckham and Terry respectively by being at the same club as they were developing.
Additionally, the success of the Premier League has resulted in more money and better facilities being made available for the training of British youths.
That said, if you are of the opinion that talent is best developed on the greatest stage, and playing with good players makes you better - then the existence at the top clubs of foreigners means British youths are not being developed as well as they might be.
Spain's success at the Euros was helped by having so many players in the Premier League according to this argument. British players don't get that opportunity so don't grow as players to the same extent. I have a lot of time for this view.
But, fundamentally, I think the talent - properly developed - will come through and a tough test produces better players. I am inclined to believe there is more problem developing our own youth to compete with foreign players, rather than a problem with the existence of foreign players in the league or of of clubs picking the best they can afford to succeed.
There are a lot of foreign players in Italy and in Spain - the reigning World and European champions. Look at the starting line ups of Real, Barca, Inter or whoever. Man U and Chelsea are at least comparable.
I would also argue that there are great British players (you could make a team of the 10 capped England players in the CL final - without a goalkeeper admittedly).
The problem with the England team is, I would say, a problem with the England team first and foremost. England should lead youth development - and use it's players better (through structure, attitudes or whatever).
- August 26, 2008 at 3:36 PM
- guitougoal said...
very informative indeed however more than 60% of players in the top flight hail from other countries than
England with more transferts in the making sounds disproportionate to me and Yes,I would call for a restriction not a complete ban-A restriction doesn't include necessarily the top players you are referring to.They would have the same impact on English younger but still these youngsters would have a bigger chance to play.
I still agree with you that foreign players have helped to raise the level of football and techique in the premier league
- August 26, 2008 at 4:14 PM
- Ebren said...
guitougoal - I don't think we're disagreeing here, more that we have a different emphasis.
Fundamentally, I blame the FA for England's failure more than I blame anyone else. And I like the pretty football on my screens that the foreign players enable. But then I never claimed to be rational about football. Except all those times I did.

Very good point sir.
I was distracted by him coming from Hibs and winning the SFA manager of the year award.
Makes my case a little better then. (If anyone wants to check the rest of my figures, feel free).
- August 26, 2008 at 6:08 PM
- andrewm said...
An Englishman will not manage one of the top four clubs for the foreseeable future, though. There is nothing a young English manager can do to earn these jobs. Anything they achieve can be bettered by someone in Italy, Spain or elsewhere.
The only possible exception is Paul Ince. He won't earn one of these jobs, because there's only so far Blackburn can go, but if he does OK he may yet get the call. This is because, despite high profile failures like Bryan Robson, the media (and by extension the fans) still love an ex-pro who goes into management. The careers of Gordon Strachan, Mark Hughes and Roy Keane are proof enough I think.
- August 26, 2008 at 7:37 PM
I would like to make a distinction between internationalism and globalisation, but I'm not exactly sure what my point is.
I also suggest that the premiership's mass importation of talent is not always the best thing for the development of young European, South American, etc. players, either.
- August 26, 2008 at 8:00 PM
good poimts both munni. Although I am more talking about the impact of the global marketplace on Premier League footballers and managers than the internationalism that might have cause or restricted thier presence.

It's not about fact, though is it? With football it's emotion first, then look at the facts after.
Not to say that's bad - but it's not realistic.
Already Arsenal are being written off this season - after two games??
- August 27, 2008 at 12:22 AM
writing Arsenal off is part of the emotion: we do it cos it's fun, and bugger the facts!
Anyway, they're crap.

Nervous already, gg?

arsenial denial-
I think gg is enjoying himself by degrading our source of happiness-the beautiful passing game is appreciated only by the purists anyway :)
-but they look crapy for the moment.
- August 27, 2008 at 9:22 AM
Not a bit nervous - I have complete and utter faith in our foreign manager.
- August 27, 2008 at 9:40 AM
I have complete, even blind faith in my foreign manager, but sometimes I wish he would stop trying to live according to some sort of platonic ideal of football. Fab when it works; doesn't work at the moment.
I'm nervous.
- August 27, 2008 at 4:27 PM
that accusation cuts me deep, it does.
I love seeing beautiful passing, but it's not enough - I like scoring, too.
I love seeing beautiful women, but...
When I'm even older, I'll still be looking for beautiful passing that leads to scores.

Is anyone else worried about the number of foreign bloggers here?
Ebren, I've read the piece again, and I'm still not sure what point you're trying to make...
- August 27, 2008 at 10:09 PM
- Allout said...
As the old saying goes, it's not quantity but quality. All the managers of the top four are foreign (defined as not English) and if you add Capello to the list, the five biggest managerial jobs in England are held by foreigners. And even the level immediately below this is dominated by non-Englishmen with Everton, Tottenham and Villa.
So, whilst it may be true that half the EPL managers are English, they inhabit almost exclusively the bottom half of the table.
- August 28, 2008 at 10:39 PM
- Ebren said...
Allout - it's a little early to call that. Performances by the new English (promoted sides, Ince) could be telling.
If we assume the top clubs will stay there or thereabouts no matter who is in charge *cough*AvramGrant*cough* then what we are looking at is a recruitment failure at ambitious clubs rather than a managerial failure.
Hodgeson has managed big teams will in the past also.
- August 29, 2008 at 3:07 PM
- Allout said...
It may change in the medium term, and it must be frustrating for the young English managers that the biggest clubs have automatically looked abroad when filling a managerial vacancy, but if you look at last year's league table there was definitely a split - top half foreign, bottom half English - and it is unlikely to change greatly this season.
- August 29, 2008 at 10:48 PM
Ebren - A seductive, but, I feel, mistaken argument.
No British manager is anywhere near success where it matters, The PL, CL and WC. Short of a Leeds-like financial meltdown at a Big Four club or a rermarkable set of circumstances that might lead say Owen Hargreaves to manage Bayern Munich to the 2014 CL as a kind of British Mourinho, I can't see a British manager in the quarter-finals of the CL or WC for the next ten years - except maybe via Celtic.
Top British managers will become extinct once SAF retires.

What does McDonald's, bubble tea, and pho joints have in common? That is, other than being places where I spent way too much time as a teen? They have stamp cards! Well, at least they do at Cafe Mai Mai which is where we went on the completely un-significant date of July 4th. Although we didn't celebrate private healthcare and cultural melting pots, we did have special guests Pho-armacist and SleepyPho!
Cafe Mai Mai is located in south Granville near 70th Ave, and happens to be the old location of an interesting Japanese-Italian fusion cafe, evidenced by photoshopped photos of Vancouver, ads for chai tea lattes (not available for order) and…uh stock pictures in photo frames?
But we aren't put off by the decor. We've been to dives where the decor was much… Dirtier. So this place was quite nice and clean by comparison. Cafe Mai Mai also makes all food and dessert in-house, which led us to have pretty high expectations as Mr. Red Cafe also made everything in-house and we enjoyed the pho there quite a bit.
Service was friendly, and generally quite good although they did forget Sleepypho's order. But this was a minor complaint. Once we got our bowls of pho we dug right in.
The portions were healthy, and came nicely presented. The (meat) balls were tasty and the beef was generally tender, although we noticed that those that got their bowls later found their "medium rare" meat to have become overcooked. The noodles were also overcooked, leaving them with a softish, limp texture. Now, Cafe Mai Mai advertises that they didn't use MSG in their broth and it showed. It came hot, with a good beefiness to it, and although it was darker in colour, it had a light taste which our members said, could be improved with… Well, to be honest, some MSG.
The sides came with the usual suspects, but the chili peppers were noticeably missing. The spring rolls were nicely crisped but lacked much texture internally. The mango smoothie was also a bit disappointing with weak mango flavour and a watery consistency.
Cafe Mai Mai has a pretty good premise: food made in-house, no msg, and a loyalty program. While the sides were a little bit of a miss, the pho was solid with good quality beef.
Here's our review of the pho!
Sm: $7.95 Lg: $8.95
Beef: healthy portion. Tender, good quality.
Noodles: soft, bit overcooked.
Broth: beefy but a bit light.
MSG amount: none.
Presentation: 3 out of 4.
Overall: 7.4 out of 10

These are all the items that I used:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday initiating a government-wide review of the U.S. defense industry and suggest changes to strengthen it.
The review is intended to identify and address potential weak points in the defense manufacturing base including companies that could go out of business and leave gaps in the supply chain for U.S. weapons systems, said Peter Navarro, the White House National Trade Council director.

The executive order asked for recommendations on possible legislative, regulatory and policy changes that would improve and support the defense industry, calling it a "significant national priority".
"America's defense industrial base is now facing increasing gaps in its capabilities," Navarro said. "There's just one company in the U.S. that can repair propellers for Navy submarines," he added in a briefing with reporters.
Defense analyst Howard Rubel of the investment bank Jefferies & Co said the free market has so far done a reasonably good job. "We don't want to invest in buggy whip suppliers just because there is only one (supplier)." He added that it is important to recognize that the United States can sometimes buy more cheaply from its allies.
The review mandated by the executive order will be led by the Pentagon and conducted in concert with the Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security as well as other government agencies.
Skilled labor is also a big part of the huge military buildup Trump has promised to project American power. Industry has already shown initiative in addressing the skilled labor shortage, including in the metals trades, Navarro said in his remarks.

Absolutely without a doubt the most consistent surf trip I have ever been on. It took a long time to get to East Timor (L.A. to Tai Pai to Singapore to Bali to Ruteng and then a 12 hour boat ride), but once we got there, the waves were going off, the food on the boat was delicious (fresh baked bread and muffins everyday, homemade yogurt, homemade deserts, fruits, fresh fish, sushi), the beer was plentiful and the crew was amazing. Thanks Gary and Family, you made it the trip of a life time.

Most banks enable customers to make check and cash deposits at an ATM. Banks use a deposit image ATM, which is a special type of ATM that's been designed to read currency from the U.S. Treasury Department. These ATMs will scan the cash for authenticity, and then accept it upon verification.
After inserting the bank card into the ATM and selecting the option to make a deposit, the customer inserts the cash directly into the slot on the ATM. There are no deposit slips or envelopes required.
After the transaction, the customer will receive a receipt as with any other banking transaction.

Any process no matter easy or difficult has something within it which is and can only be dealt by an expert. Every individual has been provided with a specific line of expertise in which they revolve around and provide for a service to many people.
Similarly when it comes to getting a visa and immigration process done there is a serious need of an agent who is well aware of all the matters associated with the process. When it comes to having Solve you also need to choose someone who has an outclass setup of services to provide. A few tips which must be considered in this regard of hiring a professional must include the following considerations:
Specialized Setup of Services
The most important thing to look for when it comes to hiring an agent for the fast track immigration services is the expertise and level of specialization of that agent. You must hire someone who is a master in his job and may deliver you the best. Going for someone who is not an expert may lower down your chances of having immigration carried out successfully.
Serious Attitude
Many agents have a non-serious attitude when it comes to getting through the process of immigration and this may hold the process for a long time. No matter whom urgently and at the last moment you have been called for anything by the officials you need to respond and you will only respond if your agent is active.
Pre-Determined Fee
Make sure that the agent you are hiring for the process of immigration provides you with a pre-determined expense that will occur throughout the process. In case where the fee is not pre-determined a lot of issues do arise at the end which may turn out being much troublesome in many ways.

Prevent: Laura's Story
Your gift of $400 can help girls, like Laura, from having to ever endure the atrocities of human trafficking.
11-year-old Laura lives in Makululu, the biggest shanty town in Sub-Saharan Africa with a population of 90,000 plus people.
Life is hard here. Laura's mother worked hard to feed her and her brothers and sisters. But her mom had HIV/AIDS and sadly passed away in June 2015. Laura loved her mother very much, but when she died she became bitter and angry. She believed that a neighbor had killed her mother, and she became full of rage.
Too many mouths to feed
She had to stay at her grandparents' house with five of her cousins as they too had been abandoned or orphaned. Gran and Grandpa were old and frail and had six grandchildren to feed.
One day, Grandpa visited Mercy House, a day care center in Zambia supported by The Freedom Challenge, and asked the coordinator if she could take two of their kids, Laura being one of them. Sadly, there was no room left for any more children. Can you imagine Grandpa and Laura's disappointment as they were turned away?
Pleading and praying
But Grandpa was a praying, persistent man. He showed up at Mercy House two months later. He asked again for Laura and her cousin to be enrolled in the school. He told the coordinator how hard it is for him and his wife – who are too old to work – to look after all six grandchildren.
The coordinator smiled and said, "This is your lucky day! We have just had two students leave in the 10+ Class and there is space for Laura." Grandpa was very happy; the next day he sent Laura and her cousin to Mercy House.
An unhappy child
As the weeks went on, the teacher noticed that Laura didn't engage with her peers, she never smiled and no matter how much they tried to get her to open up, she would not respond.
Laura's Grandpa agreed that she could attend counseling sessions. Nancy, a young woman from a local university, was working in Mercy House to help the teachers identify traumatized children and give them the support they needed.
After four weeks of meeting with Nancy, Laura told her that she missed her mom and needed hugs. She then went on to say how much she hated her mom's 'killer'.
Finally opening up
Nancy explained to Laura that her mom had not been murdered but had died from HIV/Aids. As Laura continued to open up, Nancy learned that her mom had been involved in the occult and had been using Laura in some demonic practices.
After two months of meetings, Nancy had a breakthrough with Laura; it was almost an overnight transformation. She had been telling Laura about Jesus, and she decided to accept him into her life.
Enjoying life again
From that day on Laura began to talk to almost everyone. She is enjoying life so much more – she has been swimming in the park and went on safari to see giraffes and zebras. She loves to laugh and have fun.
This is why The Freedom Challenge supports Mercy House; Jesus is using it to restore joy and happiness back to children's lives. It gives them a chance to be kids again in a hard environment where loss is normal and hard work is expected of them.
Thanks to all who have supported The Freedom Challenge and the international projects it serves. Laura loves you.
Your gift of $400 can help other girls, like Laura, receive a quality education for a full year and hope for the future.
Will you give today For Her Freedom?

New Google Nexus 7 Is No iPad Mini Killer: 10 Reasons Why
New Google Nexus 7 Is No iPad Mini Killer: 10 Reasons Why
By Don Reisinger
Nexus 7 Design Can't Beat the iPad Mini
The new Nexus 7 isn't a bad-looking device by any means, but to compare it to the iPad Mini is difficult. Apple's slate comes with a nice, simple design and doesn't commit to the standard, black finish around the entire device, like the Nexus 7. Google needs to do a better job of designing the tablet.
Nexus 7 Lacks Sufficient Data Storage Capacity
According to Google, the Nexus 7 is available in 16GB and 32GB versions. What that means is the tablet probably won't be able to handle all of the needs of typical slate owners who want to be able to store video, photos and other information. The Nexus 7 needs 64GB of storage or more if it is ever to be successful.
The Standard Android Isn't Always Desirable
Since the Nexus 7 comes from Google, it's no surprise that the search giant has decided to bundle the standard, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean mobile operating system into the tablet. However, if sales are to be our guide, it appears that consumers prefer modified Android versions from companies like Samsung, and not the standard OS offered by Google. That's an issue for the Nexus 7.
Processor Power Solid, but Not Groundbreaking.
The Nexus 7 comes with the 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and the Adreno 320 GPU. While those chips should deliver better performance than the earlier Nexus 7, it will not match the overall power of Apple's iPad Mini. Google needed to do something a bit better with the Nexus 7's internal components. Unfortunately, it fell short.
Its Closest Competitor Is the Kindle Fire
Comparing the Nexus 7 to the iPad Mini is a little unfair. For one thing, the tablet starts at just $229, making it substantially cheaper than the iPad Mini. But when one compares the specifications in the Nexus 7 to those of other tablets, the best alternative is truly Amazon's Kindle Fire. And as the last couple of years have shown, Amazon can't compete with the iPad Mini either. So, why should anyone believe the Nexus 7 could?
Previous Versions Haven't Taken Off
Let's not forget that Google has been offering the Nexus 7 for quite some time. So far, that tablet hasn't taken off in a big way. When it comes to the low-end of the tablet space, the Nexus 7 is definitely a competitor. But in terms of sales, there's still no matching Apple's iPad Mini.
Apple Grasp of the Tablet Market Has Proven Unbreakable
Want the simplest reason the Nexus 7 has little, if any, chance of beating the iPad Mini? It's up against Apple. Since 2010, the iPad has been the market's favorite, and most analysts believe that will only continue into the next several years. If analysts understand that the Nexus 7 can't beat the iPad, why should anyone else?
The iPad Mini Has Cannibalized the iPad
The iPad Mini is no slouch when it's put up against any device on the market. In fact, Apple's recent quarterly filings have indicated that the iPad Mini has been able to cannibalize sales of the larger 9.7-inch iPad. If the device can beat up its bigger brother, it should have no trouble taking on a less-completive Nexus 7.
Security Is a Major Concern
Android is the top target right now for malware makers. And that matters quite a bit to many customers who don't like the idea of their personal information being put at risk. Android 4.3 comes with security enhancements that should help matters, but it appears the tide is simply too strong for Google to compete.
The Enterprise Shuns Android
The corporate world could have been the key to seeing the Nexus 7 overtake Apple and its iPad. However, the enterprise has continued to resist large-scale adoption of Android devices because it's wary about the security issues. Until the enterprise comes around on Android, it's hard to see how the Nexus 7 could top the iPad Mini.

And with that said, as part of our Valentine's day rumbles, we ask you to submit photos of elderly couples. Could be you (given that you're a senior citizen. :D ), your relatives, a couple you know, or a couple you see outside. Through photographs, let's capture and preserve the love they (or you) share for each other.
- Prize(s): 3 winners of 10 piggies each. All winners will receive a special award badge straight to their LomoHomes.
- Film/Camera Type: Any analogue photo not digitally enhanced or manipulated.
- Upload Limit: 3 photos
- Minimum Photo Dimensions: Submissions must be at least 768px in either width or height.

"Their enduring spirit of collaboration, high expectations, and support provides the guidance we need to ensure every student is given the space, time, and encouragement to do his or her best. I am so proud of everything we accomplish year after year and am honored to work with this outstanding team of educators."
The school district ranked 9th in mid-sized companies. These companies have been recognized based solely on surveys about the workplace completed by their employees.

It's the mission of one New York-based start-up to "end loneliness."
Whether it's young professionals looking to meet other singles or for a friendly night on the town, Grouper aims to disrupt the bar scene and traditional one-on-one dating.
Grouper, founded in 2011 by a guy getting over a breakup, offers users the opportunity to go on a blind date during which two groups of friends meet for the first time and spend an evening at a local bar or restaurant. One group usually is composed of three guys and the other of three girls. The company also arranges group dates for gay and lesbian singles.
The cost to attend an arranged meeting is $20 a person per outing. The cost covers the first round of drinks and some light snacks.
"The style Grouper provides is almost a 'hang-out' atmosphere versus one-on-one dating situations," said Sian-Pierre Regis, founder of culture and lifestyle website Swagger New York. "For millennials, that aspect is sexy. It's not creepy online dating, but rather a hangout session for new friends."

The last time the Garden City Buffaloes baseball team was on the diamond with Wichita Heights was a 2012 Class 6A semifinal battle in Wichita in which the Buffs played one of their best games of the season, falling to the Falcons in a 1-0 nailbiter when Edgar Montoya had thrown a one-hit gem.
Tuesday, the same two schools, with different players for each team dotting the starting lineup, played a twinbill at Clint Lightner Stadium, and the Buffs would have given just about anything to have the same kind of performance as they did in 2012.
But that didn't happen, as the Falcons run-ruled the Buffs twice, going back to the Air Capital City with convincing 10-0 and 13-3 triumphs.
The twin setbacks left the Buffs reeling in the early going of the season with an 0-4 record. They will have a week to regroup and get ready for their home doubleheader on Tuesday against TMP-Marian of Hays, the reigning Class 3A regional champion.
"We continue to struggle in so many different parts of the game," Buffs' coach Bill Wilson said. "We're struggling to find our Nos. 2, 3, 4 pitchers, we're still not swinging the bats well and when you combine those things, you're going to have a tough time."
There really was no dramatics to either game, as the Falcons jumped on Montoya for four runs in the first inning of Game 1 and then did the same thing in Game 2 against starter Andy Saldivar.
From those deficits, the Buffs could never recover, and their bats continued to be silent, getting only three hits in the opener and managing just four in the nightcap.
Meanwhile, the Buffs' pitching corps was pelted by the Falcons, who came out looking like they had played several games, rather than appearing in their own season-opening contests.
Heights pounded out 11 hits in the opener and and duplicated that output in the second game.
"Heights came out swinging the bats and got comfortable at the plate early," Wilson said. "We'd play two, three innings pretty well and then the floodgates would open."
The Falcons' used three left-handed pitchers to stymie the Buffs' bats, as Mitchell Hernandez and Marcus Zapata were the only Buffs to get more than one hit in the two games.
Garden City used a three-run second inning in Game 2 to trim the Falcons' lead in half when Saldivar scored on a passed ball, and then Zapata added a run-scoring single and Thomas Solorio an RBI double to deep centerfield.
But just like Heights had taken control in Game 1, the Falcons did the same in Game 2.
In the opener, Heights led 4-0 after one and then ended the game on the 10-run mercy rule with six runs in the fifth. Jordan Plank, meanwhile, kept Garden in check by striking out nine and walking just two in picking up the win. Montoya, who went the distance, finishing with three strikeouts and four walks, was saddled with his second loss in two outings.
"When Edgar's on, I feel he can keep us in any game," Wilson said. "We've got to find a way for him to get a rhythm early. He had those next three innings where he was really pretty good."
The Buffs had no answer for many of the Heights' batters, most notably second baseman Blake Day, who had five hits in the two games, drove in six runs (3 in each), including a two-run home run in the first inning of the opener.
About the only bright spots at the plate for the Buffs were Mitchell Hernandez, who had two hits to go with his three hits in the season openers and has now gone 5-for-11 (.455). Zapata had a pair of hits while Solorio had that run-scoring double to deep center which came close to being a home run. Saldivar, who started the second game, suffered his second straight loss. Hernandez pitched the final two innings for the Buffs.
