Getting Into The Wedding Photography Business

By Samuel Burns


Getting into the wedding photography business is about more than being a wedding photographer. You have to be willing to be your own advertiser, networker, manager, and contractor. Don't quit your day job until you really know what you're in for. Being a wedding photographer involves more than weddings.

Wedding photography is a niche industry that has one busy season a year and one dry spell a year. If you're content working your entire summer (and most of the spring and early autumn) then you're in the right frame of mind to work as a wedding photographer. You may be thinking, "But I'll only work on the weekends". While that may seem to be true, most wedding photographers do engagement pictures and other wedding-related shoots during the week. In order to pay your bills and build a clientele you'll be working much more than you think.

Once you get started you still need to be visible. With the internet at hand you can advertise on Twitter, Facebook, and many other websites where people are looking for wedding services. Also keep in mind that people who do those wedding services; Caterers, ministers, and wedding planners tend to refer people as well. For every wedding planner that gets a new client they can easily say, "Hey, I know this great new photographer" and you're in. Make as many friends as you can so that you don't have to do all the work yourself. Your network of colleagues can do tons of heavy lifting for you.

The easiest way to start making money is network through your friends and family. Someone gets engaged and you can swoop in and offer to do their engagement shots. They'll get a discount (because you're a friend) and you'll gain experience. After doing one wedding you're an "experienced wedding photographer" with photos you can promote yourself with.

At the end of the day, it takes time to build up a clientele and a group of people who will refer you. Start with small jobs that don't pay well, but will garner you referrals. After some hard work you'll have more than enough work for yourself, and you may find that you enjoy doing head shots and portraits too.

Work hard at promoting yourself and advertising and you'll have a year-round business doing nothing but taking pictures all day. Ultimately, that should be the goal. Do it for the love of photography and the work will likely come to you.

Once you decide you can take pictures all day for pay you'll have more work than you can handle. Between the senior portrait season, wedding season, family portraits for Christmas and everything in between you'll be a very busy photographer. Keep promoting yourself and you'll be a thriving photographer, and that all started with you and a camera.

Japanese Tattoos: The Japanese Dragon Motif

By Johnny Tran


Japanese tattoos are called irezumi. This is an all-encompassing term for all tattoo and body modification methods but is used in the Western sense of being the traditional art of Japan. In this art form, the main attraction is the dragon tattoo. Japanese dragons are one of the most common motifs due to its intricacy and extremely psychedelic appeal.

A Brief History

There are actually multiple variations to the dragon in Japan: the indigenous Tatsu and the foreign varieties. The tatsu are actually more animistic than physical, being manifestations of what a river or a body of water is and the spirits that live in them. The most famous, however, is the personification of lightning, Orochi. He is an eight headed and eight tailed dragon who was killed to gain the most important element of the Imperial Regalia of Japan, the Kusanagi.

The ryu is the most popular one, since the tatsu do not really have physical form. It is akin to the Chinese dragon, only with three fingers instead of five. This is actually a source of friendly rivalry between Asian countries, with the number of toes determining the nationality of the dragon. The naga is the serpent dragon of Indian folklore, as adapted in Japan and the doragon is the Western civilization's conception of a dragon (that is, with wings).

Depicting the Forces of Nature

Japanese dragons are differentiated by the fact that they symbolize the subtlety and flow of water instead of fire. This is the main difference between them and the other Asian dragons. This is evident in their intricate scales, and the colors of black, blue and white, all related to water. In fact, they believe that all the sea is ruled by four dragons, which reside in the four cardinal directions.

Dragons also symbolize power and majesty. Being one of the four celestial gods, as the seiryu, the dragon is worshipped, revered and feared. This is due to it being calm and placid at first, but when provoked, becomes a deadly catastrophe for anyone who dares. They are also symbols of courage and of fertility. Dragons are also seen as a farmer's best friend.

The Future

Japanese tattoos done the traditional way are called irezumi. This involves the use of bamboo flints to pierce the skin and apply the color. While the results are astounding and excellent, this takes a long time to complete, sometimes years for a small area. Thus, most have already adapted the Western practice of using machines. However, the designs are still completely Japan in flavor and motif.

Using Echocardiograms For Research In Small Animals

By Adriana Noton


It can be difficult to configure echocardiograms for research in small animals. For tiny animals, like mice, the procedure causes significant stress. This can adversely affect cardiovascular observations. Another difficulty is the miniature size of the mouse heart and its rapid heartbeat, which ranges from 500 to 700 beats per minute. Additionally, the orientation of the mouse heart makes some parts difficult to see with the test.

Echocardiograms are ultrasounds images of the heart. One-dimensional, or M-mode, and two-dimensional, or 2D, images provide a good measurement of the heart's chambers. The images can detect movement, thickness, and size. The 2D image is actually a slice, or a cross-section, of the heart as it is beating.

Doppler can add another dimension to the exam. Doppler is used to determine the velocity and the direction of the flow of blood. It is used to identify leakage within heart valves. Doppler also pinpoints narrowing, or stenosis, in heart valves.

Echocardiograms are done in vivo, which means on living animals. The test are most reliable when the mouse is not anesthetized. This is because anesthesia can slow the heart to about half its normal beats per minute. To prevent stress in mice, technicians perform the test for several days before their actual test. On the day of the echocardiogram, they complete several protocols. They remove the mouse's chest hair with a depilatory agent. They also place limb leads on the mouse's wrists and ankles.

Researchers primarily capture molecular imaging of a mouse's left ventricle. Because apical views can be tough to obtain, diastolic function in the right ventricle is hard to see. Researchers can readily observe the composition of the left ventricle. The photoacoustic test can detect any atherosclerosis, lesions, or other cardiac disturbances within the structure.

Small animal experiments help researchers to draw conclusions about human heart disease. Researchers for one study, for instance, performed echocardiograms on fetal mice. By doing this, researchers were able to watch the development of congenital heart disease. In another experiment, researchers introduced a beta-2 receptor into the heart of a mouse. They knew that the receptor was found in an enzyme that manifested in failing heart tissue. After echocardiograms were performed, researchers concluded that having the receptor in large quantities prevented disease in mice.

Mice are not the only small animals used in ultrasound tests. Scientists have begun to use hamsters more often in experiments because their heart conditions more closely duplicate those of humans. The test is also used in veterinarians' offices. For instance, an image can help veterinarians manage canine and feline heart diseases.

Echocardiographs should be carefully set to study small hearts. They should have less than 0.5 millimeters of spatial resolution. They should have a frame rate of 150 hertz and a sweep rate of 200-300 hertz.

Small animal research has provided much information about human disease. Echocardiograms for research in small animals, in particular, have allowed researchers to extrapolate information about heart disease. That information has then been applied to the human heart. Continuation of the research is a critical element in the fight to defeat cardiovascular disease.

Study Online How To Choose The Best Bird Watching Binoculars

By Liam McGinley


How to choose the right bird watching binoculars has become an important issue in recent years. As in all human activities, when a person takes up a sport, hobby or pastime it is necessary to have the best equipment. Without the best accessories one does not look the part. Fortunately for bird watchers, there is not must specialist equipment required. What one already has, such as sun screen and a floppy hat can be used. However, the bird watching group may well consider binoculars essential. It is tiresome to be tapped continually on the shoulder to be asked to lend your binoculars when something has been seen.

Not all bird watchers are ornithologists. They may include people with few scientific inclinations, but who are simply interested in seeing and documenting the bird community as it survives, miraculously, despite the predations of domestic cats and other predators. Birds are interesting because they are free, beautiful and endangered, living in many cases on the brink of extinction.

A feature of modern society is the formalization of activities that were formerly casual and unorganized. It used to be sufficient to ride a bicycle with only a pair of trouser clips to keep loose trousers from getting in the chain. Now panoply of colourful clothes, helmets, gloves and gadgets are considered indispensable.

It is not sufficient to walk in a park, or be on a hike, or creep around sewage works where birds abound, improperly equipped One needs to be properly attired, with strong shoes, a jacket with many pockets, a floppy hat and of course the latest binoculars. This will translate a slight flutter in a bush into a brilliant little creature, perfect in every feather, poised for flight.

Before setting out one needs to repair to a computer and browse the sites that give information on the best binoculars. In addition one can use the Internet to make contact with other interested people and sites that give reviews of various products. It will be possible not only to research the best instruments to buy, but also to put them in a cart and have them delivered within a short period.

In respect of binoculars size does matter. It is frustrating to tout a big pair about all day, especially in rough terrain. Women especially, find it tiresome to deal with s cumbersome tool. A small pair can be carried easily and slipped into a pocket when there are no birds about. The images yielded by small instruments are in no way inferior to those of bigger ones since it is the quality of lens that is significant.

The specifications of many fine instruments can be found on manufacturers' websites. Magnification levels and prism types should be studied carefully because these are the things that ultimately determine the quality of image that will be seen when they are aligned and focused. As always price will be determined by quality so that is why careful research is necessary.

How to choose the right bird watching binoculars will depend upon the purposes which a particular person has in mind. A pair of large field glasses will suffice for the interested amateur who leaves them on the mantelpiece some that he can survey visitors to his garden through the window. For the person who undertakes expeditions to deserts and mountain ranges in order to search for rare and different species will find a small pair with high magnifications more suitable.

Georgia Film Tax Credit

By George Harris


The entertainment business in Georgia has never been very good, largely because of the latest tax incentive offerings. Actually, the Georgia Film, Music, & Digital Entertainment Office is currently building a respected reputation for generous financial incentives, a flexible and well-developed crew, a number of distinctive site locations, comprehensive production services, as well as convenient access to one of the United States' busiest airports.

These characteristics make the Peach State a great filming location. Atlanta particularly, offers an urban setting that can be used for real city shots cheaper than those you can film in Los Angeles.

Even though Georgia is not often famous for its booming f industry, it features one of the deepest and most experienced staff bases within the country, with more than 5,000 union and non-union experts. Another 1000 production suppliers and support vendors also make their residence here, from lighting and grip to film and HD camera rental houses, sound stages, post production facilities, film laboratories, video game development studios, sound design as well as recording studios, and much more. Georgia also offers a large network of extremely skilled actors, casting firms, and production companies.

One company for example may seal the deal to film in Georgia. Famous among the film and tv industry, EUE/ Screen Gems just lately got a 33- acre movie and tv complex in Atlanta. Situated only five miles from downtown Atlanta and six miles from Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport, EUE/ Screen Gems studios offers an incredible production experience one would usually see in Holywood. Stage 5 of EUE/ Screen Gems Studios in Atlanta is the third largest stage eastern side of California, having 37,500 sq. ft. of column free space.

Apart from big space, EUE/ Screen Gems provides outstanding service having its own lighting and grip company, facilities which include conference rooms, hair & makeup, clothing areas, warehouse space, truck and movie trailer parking, and also a local crew of more than 2,500. EUE/ Screen Gems has a six decade reputation producing film, television, and also commercial projects of the best caliber. Although Georgia provides an outstanding film tax credit, the combination of both the state of Georgia and EUE/ Screen Gems brings about high quality productions having a lower bearing cost, making the two a great package found no place else.

The Benefits Of Being Able To Stream Movies Free Of Charge

By Cliff Turner


It isn't that you're cheap it is that you merely can't bear paying for something that isn't up to your standards. There is something about it that simply rubs you the wrong way and you simply cannot let it go. You've walked out of movies and concerts, sent back food at restaurants, even returned half-read books to bookstores. You suspect a lot of your friends think that you are a bit of a lunatic but to you it's a matter of principle; when people are prepared to buy anything, it is no surprise that standards keep slipping further and further each and every year. It's profoundly depressing.

Now, whenever you find something of which you approve you enthusiastically buy it. In your apartment you have one small shelf of carefully chosen books, an extremely select collection of DVDs and, what is, in your opinion, an outstanding CD library.

You download a lot of music from the internet but unlike most people you do not keep any of it. You listen to an album you've downloaded 3 or 4 times (assuming it warrants it - and most don't) and if you approve you buy the album before you trash the download otherwise you just trash it and move on. It's been more than twelve years since you last returned a CD to a store; and that was a gift.

Movies though have always been trickier. Some movies you know you're going to love. You saw Inception twice in the theatre, No Country For Old Men three times; in both cases you now own the deluxe edition Blu-Ray DVDs. But when it comes to decent Hollywood movies, sure things are few and far between in your opinion.

## I love movies, I really do. I just think there is a lot of garbage out there passing for cinema these days and I don't want to support that.

Well, that's fair enough. With ticket prices the way they are a lot of movie-goers have stopped taking chances on a night out at the movies unless they are absolutely sure a film is likely to be worth the price of admission. Nowadays you can watch movie trailers online, of course but it's no secret that even mediocre movies can occasionally have compelling trailers. If there are movies that you might want to see but don't want to chance in the movie theater why not enjoy them at home? You can stream movies free of charge from any number of websites these days.

## I seldom rent movies anymore. The discs are often terrible condition and besides if it's actually a good movie I want to own it.

Rather than pay for a movie twice you can instead watch them online initially. If you like them you can go out and buy the DVD for all the extras and if you do not like them you do not even have to finish watching them.

## The problem is, I do not want my very first exposure to a great film to be a grainy, poor quality internet version.

Online movies have come a long way in the past couple of years. These days when you stream movies free to your computer or laptop you can expect to get high quality video and audio. The competition online is steep and sites with poor content don't last long.

## What's the selection like though?

The selection of films and Television shows available online is vast these days. Current films, foreign films, classic films, documentaries, independent films, they're all available.

Whether you are searching for streaming TV shows, movie trailers, or full length feature films, there are web sites out there to satisfy you. Google "stream movies for free" and start looking into the sites that come up. If you are ever not satisfied with the quality or selection of a website simply move on to the next site. Who knows, you might just find some motion pictures that you missed in the theatre that you are going to want for your Blu-Ray collection.

The Louisiana Film Tax Credit

By George Harris


While Louisiana may give a seemingly good deal in its -30% transferable incentive for total and state expenses related to the production of a film, there exist some major disadvantages in shooting there as compared to other states.

While tax incentives induce economic advantages to that particular state, secondary economic benefits also take place. An example is film induced tourism or FIT. Nevertheless, Louisiana hosts hundreds of films, which have not increased or even experienced film induced tourism.

A number of other states in close proximity have both tax incentives and also have been observing film induced tourism for the past decade such as Georgia and North Carolina. Though seemingly perfect for a production that has a non-urban or suburban setting, Louisiana is incredibly identifiable and does not have that "Anywhere, USA" adaptability that other cities say Atlanta or Wilmington have. In contrast to Louisiana, North Carolina has shorelines that are comparable to that of California, minus the steep Hollywood production cost. Additionally, travel in and out of Louisiana, particularly New Orleans, just isn't a piece of cake, especially since Hurricane Katrina's devastation and the resulting infrastructural failures. Once more, Atlanta provides a really practical substitute for Louisiana, as Atlanta hosts the busiest airport in the country and provides very adaptable travel arrangements that any production officer could require. And also, EUE/ Screen Gems, a renowned movie and tv production company, are conveniently located six miles from Atlanta's Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Louisiana has been struck really hard by the latest economic depression as well as natural disasters, forcing a number of locals to relocate somewhere else. The outflow of the labor force has proved to be damaging to the film industry as many laborers are now earning a living for other companies not located in Louisiana. Without a convenient airport nearby and a labor force that has been reducing within the last couple of years, the movie industry in Louisiana isn't what it used to be. Even though big movies have been filmed there, they're mostly computer animated and television shows are leaning more towards the production sites in North Carolina and Georgia. In fact, EUE/ Screen Gems is now home to over 9 tv programs this year, including a 9th Season of "One Tree Hill" which is currently being shot in Wilmington, North Carolina.

It's very important to offer a functional location for filming when selecting production studios to work with. As stated earlier, although Louisiana may offer cost-effective alternatives by means of extensive tax incentives, it doesn't provide a convenient urban location for filming. While New Orleans is an enjoyable place full of culture, it is distinctive and well-known, and truly cannot be used when searching for a "generic city" type feel. Thus, if a movie or television show requires urban scenes, it's likely that they will have to go to a close convenient city, increasing production expenses with transportation fees for stars, staff, and crew. This trouble seems unnecessary when EUE/Screen Gems production studios in Wilmington, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia have the 2 biggest stages eastern side of California.

Dive Cameras Rugged Enough For All Sports Activities And Outdoors

By James Cook


Digital cameras are nice but many of them aren't as much as taking a complete lot of abuse. It really looks as if the older film fashions have been extra robust. After I'm on vacation or otherwise involved in some exercise outside I really hate having to at all times be mindful of the camera.

Relying on the weather and locale, when you're outdoors, there's a greater than common likelihood of being splashed or rained on, to not mention getting sandy or muddied. Often its journey and vacation images we want to capture, and beaches, mountains, etc., are usually widespread trip settings.

Additionally it is while enjoying the great outside that cameras are inclined to get bumped around or dropped - a minimum of more so than indoors the place we aren't normally as focused on playing.

Effectively the good news is you'll be able to finally get a digital camera that's both rugged and waterproof, with out breaking the bank.

I found this when wanting into changing my dive camera. In the past these underwater cameras were principally common land cameras fit into a waterproof housing. There were a few that had digital camera and housing integrated right into a single unit, however they had been a bit clunky for utilizing on land.

Now in the end, a number of manufacturers of waterproof cameras have provided you with digital cameras which might be themselves watertight to numerous depths, and they require no additional exterior housing. The cool thing is that they have settings that may be changed relying on whether you are taking pictures above or below water.

In "undersea" mode, the shutter speed and aperture adjustments assist compensate for decrease lighting situations usually encountered beneath water. When switched to "land" mode they work like any other land digital camera allowing the consumer to adjust to situations encountered above water.

To assist make these dive cameras rugged, the cases themselves are affect resistant polycarbonate or other composite supplies, with rubber cushioning at key points. You can drop one from a number of toes up and not phase it a bit.

The compact dimension and light-weight weight (simply over a pound) make them as convenient as any land only version, and film high quality is not sacrificed for small size. These digital dive cameras seize extremely sharp, excessive-decision images, even whereas overcoming poor lighting.

The biggest benefit does not need multiple cameras. I can use one that's perfect not just for scuba diving, but for climbing, mountaineering, ocean kayaking, going to the beach, being out on the boat, and pretty much some other activity one would possibly assume of. Plus I never have to worry about protecting it from unintentional abuse.

And this is some more excellent news in case you aren't a diver. Dive dig cam makers also produce less expensive models for snorkeling. They're normally good right down to round 10 ft which is a lot for snorkelers, but in addition works for staying shielded from things like rain and water parks.

10 Costly Search Engine Mistakes to Avoid

By Malcolm Chua


If you've got a website then you already know the importance of visitors. Visitors would be to Internet advertising as location would be to real estate. It's the only thing that truly matters. If you cannot generate targeted visitors to your website, you'll not make any sales. Generally the owner or designer of the site is the individual designated to drive traffic to the web site. The chief ingredient in generating visitors is the search engine. Of coarse, you are able to use advertising, but it's going to price you. Utilizing the search engines to generate targeted (interested in your product) visitors is the least expensive approach known.

Sadly, several web site owners don't realize the importance of search engine visibility, which leads to visitors. They place much more importance on producing a "pretty" site. Not that this is bad, but it is really secondary to search engine placement. Hopefully, the following list of typical mistakes, made by several web site owners, will assist you generate a lot more targeted visitors to your website...after all, is not that what you want.

1. Not utilizing keywords effectively.

This is possibly 1 of the most critical area of site design. Choose the right keywords and potential clients will locate your web site. Use the wrong ones and your web site will see small, if any, traffic.

2. Repeating the exact same keywords.

When you use the same keywords over and over once more (known as keyword stacking) the search engines may possibly downgrade (or skip) the page or web site.

3. Robbing pages from other websites.

How many times have you heard or read that "this is the web and it is ok" to steal icons and text from websites to make use of on your site. Don't do it. Its one thing to learn from other people who have been there and another to outright copy their work. The search engines are very smart and generally detect page duplication. They may even prevent you from ever being listed by them.

4. Making use of keywords which are not related to your website.

Several unethical web site owners attempt to gain search engine visibility by making use of keywords that have nothing at all to do with their website. They location unrelated keywords in a page (like "sex", the name of a known celebrity, the hot search topic of the day, etc.) inside a meta tag for a page. The keyword doesn't have anything to do with the page topic. However, since the keyword is popular, they think this will boost their visibility. This method is considered spam by the search engines and may trigger the page (or occasionally the whole site) to be removed from the search engine listing.

5. Keyword stuffing.

Somewhat like keyword stacking listed above, this means to assign numerous keywords to the description of a graphic or layer that appears on your website by utilizing the "alt=" HTML parameter. If the search engines locate that this text does not actually describe the graphic or layer it will be considered spam.

6. Relying on hidden text.

You could be inclined to think that should you can't see it, it does not hurt. Wrong.... Do not try to hide your keywords or keyword phrases by making them invisible. As an example, some unethical designers my set the keywords to the same color as the background of the internet page; thereby, making it invisible.

7. Relying on tiny text.

This is another version of the item above (relying on hidden text). Don't attempt to hide your keywords or keyword phrases by making them tiny. Setting the text size of the keywords so small that it can barely be seen does this.

8. Assuming all search engines are the same.

Numerous individuals assume that each search engine plays by the exact same rules. This isn't so. Every has their own rule base and is subject to change anytime they so desire. Make it a point to understand what each main search engine requires for high visibility.

9. Making use of totally free web hosting.

Don't use totally free internet hosting if you are truly serious about increasing web site traffic via search engine visibility. Several times the search engines will eliminate content from these free hosts.

10. Forgetting to check for missing internet page elements.

Make sure to check every page inside your website for completeness, like missing links, graphics, etc. There are sites on the internet which will do this for free of charge.

This is just several of the methods and techniques that you should steer clear of. Do not give in to the temptation that these strategies will work for you. They will do more harm than great for your web site.

Not only will you spend weeks of wasted effort, you may have your site banned from the search engines forever. Invest just a little time to understand the correct techniques for growing search engine visibility and your net traffic will increase.

Know More About Film Tax Incentive

By George Harris


The pillar of the movie industry has significantly changed over the years and today has developed into film tax incentives. Film tax incentives have played a major and important role in today's contemporary movie industry, helping not just producers but also local economies. The majority of film budgets largely think about movie tax incentives and it would be foolish to miss them from movie financing equations.

One of the key functions of film tax incentives is to draw movie, television and video producers to operate locally. Nonetheless, while the price of labor increased in the United States, numerous producers were traveling abroad. Canada was among those nations who saw a large influx of Hollywood producers utilizing its stages as well as studios as their brand new go-to destinations, producing media at a fairly cheap cost. While U.S. productions began to decline, the country had to take action quickly and therefore the development of film tax incentives.

Different filming locations in United States provide various rewards to production companies, actors, directors, and staff members. On the creative end, a director may envision a film or tv series being set in a specific city, and to enhance the plot, this director may want to shoot in a very specific place. On a practicality side, perhaps a few of the major players in the film (actors or staff) may wish to shoot near home, so they can stay with their own families. This would incentivize a mutual place where numerous participants in the project could find comfort and security. One of the most important incentives these days, however, extends beyond creativity and practicality, and this particular incentive comes in the form of tax breaks.

In this particular era of Hollywood, in which production costs are increasing and the economy is having difficulties, show runners and studio heads are looking to save every dollar they can. Therefore, these executive officers are often wanting to shoot in states with very generous film tax incentives when possible. 2 samples of such incentives can be found in Georgia and North Carolina. Georgia gives a 30% tax credit and North Carolina gives a corresponding credit of 25%. Louisiana, New Mexico and New York also provide a few of the more attractive incentives.

While incentives are offered in 43 states, one company in particular has reaped the advantages of having studios in three of the 43 states offering tax incentives. EUE/ Screen Gems, a production company located in New York, has studios in Manhattan, New York, Wilmington, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia. While really convenient locations, these studios are the very best that offer world class quality and service while offering really good prices. As producers search for the very best deals, EUE/ Screen Gems should be the first production company you think of. Supported by decades of experience, this company has a reputable name and provides the best services to its clients. On top of that, Screen Gems is unique in that it provides stage space, in-house lighting and grip services, and not to mention pre-production and post-production work. While tax incentives give producers more 'bang for their buck,' EUE/ Screen Gems gives services not like any other. Hard-working, loyal, and dedicated, EUE/ Screen Gems offers an incentive in itself; world- class productions that have very affordable pricing.

Rumours are circulating that Randy Quaid is trying to get apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro

By Mellisa Gigante


While at present Randy Quaid is attempting to get asylum status in Canada it appears that he is now researching secondary solutions should he not be accepted by Canada. Rumor has it that he is now looking into the possibility of buying apartments and real estate in Rio de Janeiro. Sources say that he has been inquiring about penthouse apartments that are for sale in both Copacabana and Ipanema. Though it is in question as to whether or not the celeb will travel to Brazil for a vacation or a long term stay.

The couple are with the perception that a secret Hollywood organization which they refer to as the "Star Whackers" could be soon sighted on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. They have also ascertained that the deaths of celebrities such as Heath Ledger, David Carradine and Chris Penn were really murdered by the "Star Whackers." They claim that the methods that these celebs died drug overdose for Ledger and accidental asphyxiation for Carradine, have been an entire fabrication.

Clearly the couple is incredibly paranoid, which could lead in to why they are searching for a penthouse for sale in Ipanema or Copacabana. While making such claims as "They follow us, they tail us," said Randy Quaid. He also explained, "They tag our cell phone, they hack our computer." Evi Quaid, 47, believes the assassins who are out to get them are "a real estate planner who would make a living trust and a county that could cash Randy's royalty stream forever. I feel like Uma Thurman buried in a coffin, I genuinely feel these people are trying to kill us." It seems that Rio de Janeiro could put some distance between the couple and their fears.

Dennis Quaid, who has asked his brother to seek therapy is evidently concerned. Though Randy Quaid has brushed this off and redirected the blame at those who are stalking him. "It's been a little tense the past few years, but I love my brother very much. We're worried about him," Randy Quaid said. "He's being victimized by the same people." Evi Quaid said they've tried to signal the younger Quaid brother, but to no avail. "Dennis is now on a treadmill of making movies that are garbage and it's unfortunate because he's talented."

The Quaids, have also expressed concern for troubled celebrities such as Mel Gibson, Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears. "I think he was drugged. I think he was slipped a Mickey," Evi Quaid said of Gibson. "It's possible for people to gain control of every facet of your life," Randy Quaid said. "They are business men," Evi Quaid said. "It's the mafia, it's organized crime."

Therefore the question remains, are Randy and Evi seeking to take a permanent holiday to South America? Though fact finding at this point is vague, it's quite possible that they are exploring apartments and real estate for sale in Brazil. While at this stage it is completely assuming, there could be a nugget of fact to it.

Five Tips For Digital Photography Beginners

By Erin Song


Are you already so good at your photography craft that "red-eye" syndrome is a thing of the past? Do you get that feeling sometimes that you could have had one heck of a shot but somehow choked when taking the photo? Don't worry if you have, because even the best photographers mess up sometimes.

So if you want to level up from newbie to digital photography expert, take note of these five tips that can help you whether you're using a digicam or cell phone.

Photography Composition

Digital photography is, in many ways, an art form, which means composition means everything. Put something in the frame. For instance, if you shoot a photo of the clear blue sky above and nothing else, this creates a tacky effect that may even be boring in the end. Or how about trying a vertical shot if horizontal doesn't work - it just might have a more forceful impact than the horizontal photos you were taking earlier.

Or you could also position your subject off to the left or right of the frame rather than right smack dab at the middle.

Take Great Close up Photos

Your digital camera has a "macro mode" - think of it as a super magnifying glass. For a touch of the unorthodox and innovative, the macro mode feature can bring your subjects even closer and make hitherto unseen textures have added prominence. And when you're doing something different, you are usually doing something good - use the macro mode feature and feel free to try different settings of it.

Buy a Tripod

In digital cameras, even the slightest quiver of your hand could throw things off and make your picture blurred. Tripods are available to remedy this, and there are a lot of affordable and convenient models available. So if you want to keep those shots perfect without the risk of your involuntary hand motions blurring things up, buying a tripod is one of those digital photography tips you really have to follow.

Get Active

Photography isn't as serious an art as some may think - it can be your chance to unleash your wild side. That's right, you could get awesome shots by doing things you never did before, like shooting on top of your roof or on top of a boat. Make your photos jump right out of there by using your creativity and "wackiness", if need may be, to the fullest.

Take a Class

Have these digital photography tips failed to whet your appetite for information? We can perfectly understand, because we agree that practice makes perfect, especially under a pro's guidance. Your community college, rec center or even the World Wide Web could be a good place to look for a photography class.

When learning how to become the best in digital photography, you have to be patient and not expect things to happen in an instant. The best way to take advantage of this hobby is to try things you have never done before, and once you get better, your friends will envy you and your family will be proud of your improved photography skills.

Photojournalistic Wedding Photography Captures The Beauty Of Your Big Day

By Sofia Schneider


For women, their wedding is not simply any special occasion. Because of this, the soon-to-be-wed couple and their loved ones spend too much time and money on wedding planning and preparation. After all, who wouldn't want to have a great wedding? This event may come only once in a lifetime, so it is natural for bridal couples to make their special day truly a day to remember.

There are a lot of things and decision-making involved in wedding preparation. Hiring a professional wedding photographer who will document the entire event, for instance, is an important thing to take into account. Wedding photographers may share a lot of things in common, but not all of them employ the same style or utilize the same approach to wedding photography.

Different Wedding Photography Styles

Couples can select among the various photography styles for their wedding photographs. The traditional approach, for example, is a common style used in wedding photography that is mostly characterized by formal poses and group shots. Wedding photojournalism, on the other hand, is a style used by photographers to deliver more spontaneous shots. Take note though that the latter is more common to actual wedding day photography compared to pre-wedding photography.

Why Bridal Couples Today Choose Photojournalistic Wedding Photography

The photojournalistic style is increasingly becoming a more preferred option among many modern bridal couples. This style's popularity can be attributed to a number of factors, one of which is its ability to infuse spontaneity and realism into wedding photos.

The beauty of wedding photojournalism is that it captures each special moment that unfolds before the eyes of the photographer. Photographers who specialize in this particular style take shots according to the sequence of events. Because they try to be virtually invisible in the scene while doing their job, they are preferred by many modern bridal couples, particularly those who want less distraction and formal poses on their big day.

Combining Traditional And Photojournalistic Wedding Photography

However, many wedding photographers at present are versatile enough to mix the traditional and the photojournalistic photography styles when taking wedding pictures. Portraits of the bridal couple in front of the altar as well as their pictures with family and friends are rather essential in wedding ceremonies. Yet many couples would also prefer to have more spontaneous shots taken throughout the event, showing people's real emotions and excitement on their special day.

Common Home Theater Blunders

By Owen Jones


A home theater requires a sizable investment of money, thought and installation, particularly if you have a high quality home theater. Therefore, it is a shame that so may people just connect all the pieces in a room without giving any thought to what other things they should be doing to improve it. Unless you hire a professional adviser, you might not achieve the full potential of your home cinema system. However, it is not necessary to hire an adviser, if you just pay attention to a few common blunders made by a lot of home theater owners

The lighting in any cinema is very important, as I am sure you already know. Why is it then that many people do not treat it as important in their own home cinema? You never see external light - sun light - in a specialized movie theater and you should not want any in yours either. Hang heavy curtains over every window in the room and let them overlap the window by a good border.

Heavy curtains will not only keep external light out, but they will also dampen street sounds, something else you never hear in a real movie theater. If you have neighbours close by, it will also help to preclude them from being bothered by your loud films or music.

Do not try to save money by purchasing poor quality speakers. Do not mix and try to match speakers either, unless you are sure you know what you are doing. If you need five speakers and a sub-woofer, but can only afford three and the sub-woofer, buy speakers from a well-known brand that you know you can get hold of again.

Do not buy end of line speakers, as you will find upgrading hard. The best tactic for the novice is to get a 5.1 surround sound set of speakers. Then, if at some point in the future you want to upgrade, you can quite easily, either by buying more or exchanging the lot in one go. One thing is for certain, a lot of the magic of going to the theater these days lies in the surround sound and you need to reproduce it at home.

It is not rocket science to put a home theater together whether it comes in kit form or not. However, if you do not feel comfortable setting it up, you would be better off having it done for you. Clearly, it is up to you how you go about this, but you could ask a relative or friend or neighbour or hire someone from the shop where you got it. My speculation is though that any reasonably competent eighteen year old has already seen one set up before and can do it for you.

Your movie theater, if it came in a kit, will or should have thorough instructions for you to follow. Please read the handbook before you start plugging things into each other. Read the manual and inspect the parts until you are well acquainted with the installation procedure and the recommended positioning of the equipment.

Make sure that the voltage is adjusted correctly before you plug it into the mains. Most equipment is made abroad for sale to many countries, so they often have some sort of selector for the voltage. Get it wrong and you could blow a part of the equipment, probably the amplifier, the DVD player or the screen. that could mean replacement of the module or poor reproduction of sound or picture.

It is not hard to get the installation of your home theater right, but you do have to pay some attention to detail, if you want to get the best out of it.

Walt Disney's Word of Wisdom

By Danyel R Frazier


Right through history there have been some great people whose words remain as memorable today, as they were long ago; interestingly a number of Disney quotes sre known to be amongst all of the wisdom.

There are undoubtedly numerous Disney movies that you may be able to quote lines from, but would it surprise you to realize that a large number of the Disney quotes are as relevant today as they ever were?

Of course there is the Disney quotes like; "How could I have been so stupid?" This could easily ruin the business!" from the movie Monsters Inc. this is not a good example of Disney quotes that is appropriate give the condition of the economy in the late 2000's. Whereas from Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming; are you my conscience?" seems extremely appropriate today, because, what do we do? We swim, swim, and we swim.

Walt Disney was a man way ahead of most contemporaries, with his futuristic concepts, and his clear understanding of people, evident in the theme parks he created. A great many Walt Disney quotes highlight the insight of the man.

Walt Disney was not responsible for writing all of the classics that came out of the Disney studios, but anyone who has been able to read some of the original stories, would know that the material has been substantially edited. We know though that the Disney quotes would not have been in the stories if he did not approve of them, and what they meant to the people that would hear them.

For anyone lucky enough, yes, that also includes 'old enough'; to have seen the weekly shows where Walt Disney would introduce the stories, as well as talk at the end, you'll know that there were many wonderful Disney quotes that are now covered by the mists of time, and not as well known as those in the movies, but these Walt Disney quotes are just as important.

In the future then, whenever you find yourself in hysterics watching Donald Duck's latest slip ups, or you are listening intently to the words Merlin spoke in "The Sword and The Stone", have a closer listen to the wonderful Disney quotes and see how closely they might apply to your own life.

So, to quote a wise old bear 'When you go after honey with a balloon, the great thing is not to let the bees know you're coming.' I know, I'm not too sure how that applies to this article, at the moment, but it'll come.
