I've had three headshot sessions with Adam and each time I've walked away with amazing photos! He's very friendly and between his neighborhood and studio he provides a wide variety of backgrounds for any kind of look. other photographers will over-photoshop your pictures so you are completely flawless and plastic looking. Adam provides touch ups that exentuate your best features and best of all, you still look like you. Adam is always the first person I recommend for any sort of photography needs from portraits to weddings
Extreamly professional. Worked from start to completion. The photo quality was extreamly amazing. It's hard to find good photographers and this is one I will use again
Brad was fantastic! When he arrived at our location, he quickly scanned the scenery, and within seconds was able to determine the most beautiful spots to shoot. He picked several places based on existing architecture, landscape and foliage. His vision was amazing! A true photographer. I was worried about all the people in the area, but he knew how to set up the shots so it looked like we were the only ones there. He was also able to direct us into poses that may have felt unnatural, but translate wonderfully to the finished photo. The results were beautiful! I'm always concerned about color and lighting - I see so many photographers get it wrong, but our photos are truly professional quality. If you want someone who strikes a nice balance between efficiency, artistry, and reasonable pricing (and who doesn't?) then I highly recommend Brad!
Ivan was my photographer for my maternity pictures. He did a phenomenal job! He took all of my example photos and really worked hard to get mine as close to them as possible. He brought a lot of camera equipment and material for lighting. I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. In all, he spent around 3 hours shooting. I never expected him to take so much time out of his day, but he was very dedicated and cared about the quality of the photos. Ivan truly went above and beyond. He had a great attitude and was easy to shoot with. I would recommend him to anyone!
Nona is hands down one of the best photographers our family has ever worked with! Very professional and extremely good at what she does. We had to reschedule d/t the bipolar Houston weather and she worked well (and FAST) to get everything done, EVEN had a few pics ready in less than 24hrs!! I only wish we could've gotten the remaining photos a little sooner as a small project I was working on was delayed (and so many were so good!). To be fair, she delivered on her original ETA AND photos were done just before the holidays, so we know she was very busy. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone I know, our pictures have gotten rave reviews from family and friends!
I was asked by a university to have my pictures taken professionally for an article that is going to be published. Fortunately, I didn't have a lot of time to think about it, because I was becoming quite nervous. Kelli arrived with all of her equipment. She suggested I pull out a few accessories from my closet. I had a couple of clothing ideas in mind. She recommended I add some scarves and jackets that were added to compliment what I chose. She helped me relax, knew just what would look good inside the house and outdoors. She has an eye for backgrounds, lighting, and an exuberance comes out that makes the subject have fun and really enjoy the experience. I loved that she would show me some of the shots as we went along, and I loved the ability to veto pictures taken so the publisher couldn't choose them. If you need professional pictures,she is the photographer to call! Thank you, Kelli!
He showed up on time and deliver the pictures in a short period of time, really good photographer. Thanks for our pictures and for the bonus ones
For context, we hired Tom for our engagement shoot. We wanted two locations for our engagement pictures and our wedding photographer (hired long before we found Tom) was charging us an exorbitant amount to do the second location. That's why we turned to Thumbtack--to find something more reasonably priced. I wasn't sure what to expect, especially given the large difference in prices between our original wedding photographer and Tom. But, my wife and I decided to give it a shot, and we couldn't be more happier with what we got. Tom was awesome and very professional. We wanted a sunrise shoot which meant we would have to get to the site at 6:30 AM. Tom was there before we were!!! Things only went smoothly from there. He knew exactly what he was doing and helped guide us through the shoot (because obviously, we had no idea what we were doing). He went above and beyond with respect to service and his pictures were amazing--we absolutely loved the quality and the timeliness with which he delivered them to us. In fact, we liked him so much, we booked him to do a second event (our rehearsal dinner). Tom was awesome and you can't go wrong hiring him. We would do it again in a second.
My family and I were vacationing in Newport from out of state and chose Danielle to capture our beach fun. I had never been to the area before and didn't know any photographers much less any good spots that would work well for family photographs. After exchanging some emails a few weeks before our arrival, we set a date and location for our photos. Danielle was prompt, professional, and chose an excellent location for the photos. Our session was no easy task because I have two small children, ages 5 and 2. Combine that with water and sand and you get a recipe for disaster, but Danielle was able to somehow capture great photographs of my family. I would definitely use her again in the future.
Love, love, love this girl! Sheryl did senior pictures for my daughter as well as our family pictures..and we're talking there were LOTS of people to contend with :) she was great!! She was on time to our appointment, told us exactly what to do and still made it fun!! Our pictures turned out great!!!! And her prices are amazing! I would 100% recommend her to anyone♡ Thank you, Sheryl!!
Grant was incredibly professional and effective as a photographer, the photos look amazing and made everyone at event look like a celebrity. Everyone at my party complemented him as being one of the best additions to the event. :) Thanks again Grant, and can't wait to work together again in the future!
We have had both a family and individual (my daughter's senior photo) photo shoot with Kenny Goldberg and both times we had a wonderful experience. At each session he took care that we had a variety of poses and spots within the location to choose from. He is professional yet fun to shoot with. He is extremely patient and knows how to get a "good shot." His turn around time was excellent. What I love, since I am always so short on time & I do not have a lot of patience, he will point out & send only the shots he thinks are worthy of consideration. I highly recommend Kenny and will continue to use him for all of our photo shoots.
Dino was amazingly professional, fun, helpful and accommodating, and produced fantastic photos. When I say amazingly, I mean that it is far above what I've seen in other professionals, I mean that it was seamless and high quality to the point that I left the interaction amazed at how good of an experience it was. Dino was accommodating to the specific photo requests I had. He has a comforting and understanding presence that one doesn't feel nervous around when taking photos (which can be a vulnerable activity). Dino directed me to capture a full range of emotions in each of the outfits I was wearing, gave advice as to how to look my best through each emotion (i.e., how to elicit my smile, how to look tough, how to XYZ). He comforted me when I felt nervous taking certain photos. Dino returned the photo proofs in the exact time we discussed, and did fantastic edits to the ones I selected to be my final copies. In touching them up, Dino tinted the lighting ever so much to accentuate certain features. He could mould photos that looked great to looking fabulous (and he took the great photos to begin with). He's a fantastic photographer and I was so pleased with the photo shoot, his demeanor, and the final photos, that I would work with him again in a minute.
I LOVED working with Amina. I was looking for a photographer to take some pictures of me for my website. As soon as I saw the Amina's pictures on her website I knew she was the one for me. Our initial phone conversation I found her to be down to earth and understanding of what I was wanting. She wanted to ensure that she was very clear on what 'look' I was wanting so she could deliver what I was wanting. We were able to do the shoot really fast and then got the pictures to me so quickly. From our first conversation to me having the photos was probably not much more than a week. The pictures are amazing, she did a great job and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Jordan Tritton can easily be considered one of the most professional cinematographers and photographers I have worked with. He has a great attitude, easy to work with, skilled, and brings ideas to the Table.
I had excellent experience with Haldane Morris Photography. He is so professional. He know exactly what he is doing. I spent total three hours and got so much high quality photos. His technique is different compare to many other photographers who i had been working with. With those photos you don't really need a photoshop. He also working with such a talented makeup/hair stylist Keon Cruz, very professional , his light makeup perfect for the headshot. So you can also hiring him as well, if you want to. I highly recommending Haldane Morris Photography. :) Wish you all stay beautiful:*!!!! Anastasiya Mitrunen.
Hugh is a great guy, a real pro photographer, easy to work with, and creative at a thumbtack competitive rate. I'm a Realtor and have worked with other photographers before. Set a time to meet and he even scouted the area beforehand for multiple locations ready to shoot; and spent a lot of time with us too. Offered a proof sheet, we picked out favorite photos, and he retouched the photos and delivered with a fast turnaround. Will use him again.
Jess is hands down the sweetest photographer I have ever met. She really understood what I was looking for when it came to my engagement photos. She took amazing candid photos, as well as portrait photos that I will forever cherish. Thank you Jess for the hardwork and effort you put in!!! Highly highly highly recommend!!!!!!
Thank you Mukaila for being such a great photographer for my son's first birthday! My guests thought that the pictures turned out well. Mukaila communicated well through email with specifics of our party. He also arrived on time and was able to take pictures of all the details of our party like I wanted. He was also able to be inconspicuous when he needed to be to get all the action pictures. Turn around time for the pictures was only a week. That is a lot quicker than a lot of other photographers that I have worked with before. If we ever have another event, I would definitely get a hold of Mukaila again.
Lily and Eric surpassed our expectations on our wedding day! We just received our photos and we couldn't be happier. Being a photographer myself, I was a bit selective when choosing our photographer and videographer. Lily and Eric captured our day beautifully and were always so helpful! We can't wait to start the design of our wedding book! Thank you for capturing our beautiful day!!! Paul & Lexie
SO talented, absolute pro, and Roxana's pictures are absolute works of art. I've seen alot of professional photographers in the Bay area and she is hands down one of the very, very best. Her eye for composing pictures and capturing light, is incredible. I have the highest recommendations for her and tell all my friends that they NEED to work with her.

By Fraser Institute —— Bio and Archives--December 7, 2017

VANCOUVER—Wait times for medically necessary treatment hit a new record in 2017 and eclipsed 20 weeks for a second year in a row, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
The study, an annual survey of physicians from across Canada, reports a median wait time in 2017 of 21.2 weeks—the longest ever recorded. By comparison, Canadians waited 9.3 weeks in 1993 when the Fraser Institute first reported wait times for medically necessary elective treatments.
"Excessively long wait times remain a defining characteristic of Canada's health-care system," said Bacchus Barua, associate director of health policy studies at the Fraser Institute and author of Waiting Your Turn: Wait Times for Health Care in Canada, 2017.
The study examines the total wait time faced by patients across 12 medical specialties from referral by a general practitioner (i.e. family doctor) to consultation with a specialist, to when the patient ultimately receives treatment.
Among the provinces, Ontario again recorded the shortest wait time at 15.4 weeks—nearly four months—and New Brunswick recorded the longest wait time (41.7 weeks).
For the fifth year in a row, British Columbia saw an increase in wait times with the median hitting 26.6 weeks—the longest ever measured in that province. Alberta also experienced its longest wait time ever at 26.5 weeks this year, and wait times in Quebec also crossed the 20 week mark for the first time since 2003.
Among the various specialties, national wait times were longest for orthopaedic surgery (41.7 weeks) and neurosurgery (32.9 weeks) and shortest for medical oncology (3.2 weeks).
"Long wait times are not a trivial matter—they can increase suffering for patients, decrease quality of life, and in the worst cases, lead to disability or death," Barua said.
"It's time for policymakers to consider reforming the outdated policies that continue to contribute to long wait times in Canada."
The Fraser Institute is an independent Canadian public policy research and educational organization with offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal and ties to a global network of 86 think-tanks. Its mission is to measure, study, and communicate the impact of competitive markets and government intervention on the welfare of individuals. To protect the Institute's independence, it does not accept grants from governments or contracts for research. Visit fraserinstitute.org.

About Viveve
Viveve, Inc., the operating subsidiary of Viveve Medical, Inc., is a women's health company passionately committed to advancing new solutions to improve women's overall well-being and quality of life. The company's lead product, the Viveve® System, is a non-surgical, non-ablative medical device that remodels collagen and restores tissue.

Here is number 2 in the series on the seven last saying of our
Lord on the cross. Here in Ireland, you really have to divorce Jesus from His
mother, because everybody really believes SHE did more at the cross than Jesus
Craig Ledbetter
Seven Last Sayings on the Cross – Message 2
John 19:25-27
22 Feb, 2004 PM
PLACE: BBC Blarney
A. Once again we journey to a hill far away where there stands an old rugged cross.
B. The imagery of our hymns is wonderful:
1. A cross that's the emblem of suffering and shame.
2. A cross where burdens of my heart have been rolled away.
3. A cross where there is no other way than this.
4. A cross where there flows a precious fountain.
5. A cross where all my sins were washed away; and sin's dark night was turned into day.
6. No wonder the Apostle Paul wrote in (Galatians 6:14) "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
C. This is the second time our Saviour has spoken since He was nailed to that cross. The first time He asked for forgiveness of all mankind, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." This time He is committing the care of His mother to John and John's care to His mother.
D. What an unusual conversation around that cross – that Jesus would be so concerned about who was going to take care of His mother.
E. It is an example of two things:
1. How the Lord takes care of every detail of our lives
2. How that the Lord wants us to take care of each other as family
A. The Desire of a Small Group.
1. Most of the crowd standing at the base of Golgotha were there for entertainment
2. Some, like the disciples, where there out of shock – i.e., Peter
3. But a few, and it was only FOUR people, that were there out of commitment
a. Mary the mother of Jesus
b. Mary, the wife of Cleophas, which was Mary's sister
c. Mary Magdalene
d. And the Apostle John, known as John the Beloved
4. Only these four wanted to be NEAR to Jesus
a. Even though there was great shame and mockery going on around Him
b. Even though Jesus was very unpopular
c. Even if it got the soldiers and Pilate upset
5. Here were four people who wanted a good look t the crucifixion
a. Its horrors
b. Its Victim – didn't go to see the crucifixion itself, but He who was crucified. They loved HIM!
c. Its crushing power
d. Its seeming finality
e. If anybody saw the crucifixion for what it really was, these four did
B. The Pain of a Mother.
1. See here the tender affection of these women toward our Lord Jesus in his sufferings. When all his disciples, except John, had forsaken him, these four still continued their commitment to Him.
2. They could not rescue him nor relieve him, yet they stayed near him, to show their devotion.
3. But that is all it was!
a. It is an impious and blasphemous construction which some of the catholic writers put upon Mary standing by the cross, that seemingly she contributed to the satisfaction he made for our sins, and so became a joint-mediatrix and co-adjutrix in our salvation.
b. She suffered as mother, but not as a Saviour!
c. The catholic idea:
1) Mary offered her son for the sins of the world
2) Mary suffered with Jesus, and it was part of man's redemption just as Christ's was
3) The Roman Catholic Church insists that she was given the position of mediatrix, entrusted with treasures of His grace, and given the responsibility of distributing His bounty. They call her the "Queen of Heaven," the "Mother of God," and a score of other high sounding titles.
4) CCC, 964 Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it. 'This union of the mother with the Son in the work of salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to his death';502 it is made manifest above all at the hour of his Passion:
5) Thus the Blessed Virgin advanced in her pilgrimage of faith, and faithfully persevered in her union with her Son unto the cross. There she stood, in keeping with the divine plan, enduring with her only begotten Son the intensity of his suffering, joining herself with his sacrifice in her mother's heart, and lovingly consenting to the immolation of this victim, born of her: to be given, by the same Christ Jesus dying on the cross, as a mother to his disciple, with these words: 'Woman, behold your son.
6) CCC, III. Mary - Eschatological Icon of the Church
a) 972 After speaking of the Church, her origin, mission and destiny, we can find no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary. In her we contemplate what the Church already is in her mystery on her own 'pilgrimage of faith', and what she will be in the homeland at the end of her journey. There, 'in the glory of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity', 'in the communion of all the saints',5I6 the Church is awaited by the one she venerates as Mother of her Lord and as her own mother.
b) In the meantime the Mother of Jesus, in the glory which she possesses in body and soul in heaven, is the image and beginning of the Church as it is to be perfected in the world to come. Likewise she shines forth on earth, until the day of the Lord shall come, a sign of certain hope and comfort to the pilgrim People of God.
a) 973 By pronouncing her 'fiat' at the Annunciation and giving her consent to the Incarnation, Mary was already collaborating with the whole work her Son was to accomplish. She is mother wherever he is Saviour and head of the Mystical Body.
b) 974 The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when the course of her earthly life was completed, was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven, where she already shares in the glory of her Son's Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of his Body.
c) 975 'We believe that the Holy Mother of God, the new Eve, Mother of the Church, continues in heaven to exercise her maternal role on behalf of the members of Christ'.
d. Jesus, in the Scriptures, is never recorded as calling her "mother." He always called her "woman." However, He used the word "woman" with all tenderness, respect, and honor. Why did He not call her "mother?" Well, Jesus was no mere Palestinian peasant. He was Almighty God incarnated in human flesh. He knew that thousands would go to Hell because of the heresy of Mariolatry, and He would lend no support to this heresy. And it is happening before our very eyes. Mary is no mediatrix between God and man. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"(1 Timothy 2:5).
1) He was saying that their relationship as mother and Son ceased that day.
2) It was not that Jesus did not love her. He loved her more than you and I love our mothers. Our love for our mothers is diluted and polluted with human depravity. His love for His mother was perfect natural affection; He had no depravity!!!
3) To Mary, this was devastating. But He was suffering a million times more in the assignment than she. If you have any tears, do not waste them on Mary. She found out that it was far more wonderful to be the daughter of the Christ than the mother of the human Jesus. She said so in her song in Luke 1:46-56. Did she call Him her son? No, she called Him her Saviour, Lord, and God!!! Amen and amen!!!
4. What an affliction it was to these women to see him abused, especially to Mary His mother.
a. Now was fulfilled Simeon's word from 33 years earlier, "A sword shall pierce through thy own soul," (Lu 2:35).
b. His torments on that cross were her tortures;
c. she was upon the rack, while he was upon the cross;
d. Her heart bled with his wounds;
e. And all the reproaches and mockeries that they reproached him with fell on her as well as His mother.
f. We have to admire the power of God's divine grace in supporting these women, especially Mary, under this heavy trial. We do not find his mother wringing her hands, or tearing her hair, or rending her clothes, or making an outcry; but, with a wonderful composure, standing by the cross, and her friends being with her.
g. Mary probably knew better than all, even than the other apostles, that this Man was no normal man, but something was going on bigger than any of them could imagine. Mary just stood there, and pondered all that His life meant to her and to this world. And because of that, she could remain standing near to the cross in expectation, instead of only defeat.
C. Family Matters.
1. Jesus, about to face the wrath of God for all sins of all people for all time, took time, for what the world might consider little things.
2. As He hung there eternal destinies of all mankind hung in the balance. The most important work ever done by any man was taking place that day, yet Jesus took time to finish some unfinished business. What unfinished business do you have?
a. He took time to remind us of the importance of family and personal responsibilities.
b. He took time for others. When most of us would have been thinking about our own problems, Jesus always put others first.
c. Jesus had enough confidence in Him to place the care of His mother in his hands. Importance of "trust" and 'testimony." How much trust does the Savior have in you?
d. John had left with others but he came back
3. Jesus was the firstborn son of the family – but not the only child (Mt 13:55,56)
4. But Jesus' half-brothers were untrustworthy of taking care of Mother
a. No welfare
b. No nursing home
c. Mom was supposed to live and die among loving family, and at home!
d. So Jesus overlooks the other brothers, and turns responsibility over to His closest Disciple – NOT Peter!
D. False Conclusions About This Event
1. That Mary is given great honour here
2. That the apostles were to care for Mary, and adore her
3. That Mary would be worshipped by the apostles
4. That Mary has any part in the mediatory action of Christ on the cross. But, she has no power or ability to intercede for the benefit of others. (1 Timothy 2:5) "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" Jesus taught much about praying but He nor any other Bible writer ever hinted that we should pray to her.
5. That Mary is a type of the Church
6. That the Apostles were to care for the Church like they would Christ's Mother
7. And so on
E. Right Conclusions About This Events
1. Christ's limited humanity ended that day – as did His connection with Mary. Now in heaven, Jesus is still human, but not like He was on earth. He certainly does not have any connection with his mother in heaven. Jesus basically "divorced" his relationship between Himself and the woman that had born Him into the world. Their relationship as Son and Mother was OVER!!!
2. Christians MUST take good care of each other – The greatest test of our commitment to the Lord
3. Christ says when we do even the smallest of things to the least of His brethren, we are doing it to Him (Mt 25:40; Mt 12:46-50)
4. Christ is not a Genie – he expects us to take care of one another, instead of always throwing people onto welfare, and just waiting on God – we have to work with our hands to meet the needs of others
5. Jesus can be trusted to always take care of every little detail – every jot and tittle will be followed!
A. What a gloriously simple glimpse into the mind and heart of our Lord for us to care for one another
B. To meet the needs, long term needs even of each other
C. Bear one another's burdens (Gal 6:2)
D. Love each other as family – as brethren (1Pet 3:8; 1Jn 3:14)

Religion Takes Center Stage for Mayor
Controversy Over Idea of Mosque Near Ground Zero Sparks Passion in Bloomberg After Long Record of Public Detachment
In a speech at Gracie Mansion this week, Mayor Michael Bloomberg heralded New York City as the ultimate symbol of religious tolerance. "We in New York are Jews and Christians and Muslims, and we always have been," he declared.
But the role of religion in the Jewish mayor's life has been marked mostly by detachment during his nearly nine years as chief executive of the nation's most populous city.

Shed Fat and Rise Muscle mass With Clenbuterol
Clenbuterol comes from a family of medicines called sympathomimetic and is required to simulate noradrenaline and adrenaline in the living body. It is being used in the therapy of respiratory disease and the monitoring of air passage blockages such as chronic obstructive pulmonary illness. This product came to be very popular among body builders and fitness fans do not wish to put on weight.
As a new fad to lose fat it is widely used by the rich and popular individuals but you may experience symptoms which are unwanted. In comparison to various other fat burners, it has unique fat burning capacities without serious adverse effects. Astralean was originally suggested as a bronchial asthma medication, presently being liked by weight watchers and bodybuilders. It is better to use it for short periods of time since your body ends up being familiar with the drug, so it is advised to run this drug for 2 weeks on and after that remain two weeks off the drug.
And currently, we will describe the clinical perspective of what this product does in our body: being a discerning beta-2 agonist that is used to promote the both kind 2 and 3 beta-receptors in fat and muscle tissue, it assists melting body fat extremely properly. Astralean increases muscle mass and decreases weight loss. It typically is available in pills of 40 mg dose.
You need to remain alert regarding any unwanted symptoms:
As it is used in greater than 1 instruction, its performance time likewise differs and you may experience symptoms. For instance, it appears to remain effective for 3-6 weeks while combating weight loss, hereafter time its thermo genic properties decrease. However, its anabolic properties decrease much quicker, somewhere around 18 days.
This product continues to be eye-catching for its obvious thermo genic impacts along with anabolic properties. A number of medical reviews have mentioned its exceptional potential to promote muscle gains along with weight loss and fat burning.
It is additionally used after the complete cycle to help in recuperation. It allows individuals to enjoy their regular eating habits in big quantities.
A variety of American bodybuildershas been trying out this drug. Thousands of professional athletes are utilizing this item also. For the typical athlete, a diet high in protein, carbohydrates, and reduced in fat might work well. Regular cycle size on it is 8-10 weeks with a 4-6 week off period.
The overall plan and cycle
Duration of Clenbuterol is typically 2 weeks, then generated adaptation (resistance receptors) and the efficiency is decreased. After that, it is necessary to do 2-week break and after that duplicate the course.
A very first time user should not surpass 40 mcg the first day. Boost by one tablet until the adverse effects are not bearable. You ought to speak with a lot more sources and Clen brochures prior to taking this drug as you have to take different doses each day.

Four 3D printed Submachine Guns, along with ammunition and silencers, have been found by police in a series of raids across the Gold Coast, Australia.
Don't Miss: In Australia, Digital Blueprints for 3D Printed Guns carry 14 Year Prison Sentence
Australian laws surrounding 3D printed guns are extremely strict. They forbid anyone to have even a CAD file of a weapon. But after raids that took place last Friday across the Gold Coast, police found two businesses in Nerang with highly sophisticated weapons production facilities.
To make the machine guns, the businesses were using 3D printers and computers. At both sites, police found homemade automatic submachine guns, as well as silencers and ammunition. They also found a .45 calibre pistol and equipment used to make weapons, along with a pill press.
The technology used to make these weapons is the most sophisticated police have seen of its kind in Queensland. Technology found by police included a 3D printer, computers, drill presses and gun parts.
Detective Superintendent Jon Wacker said of the haul:
"The weapons seized are yet to be tested, however, weapons of this type have the capacity to fire hundreds of rounds of ammunition a minute. In the wrong hands they present as a significant threat to the public."
Currently, there are two men helping the police with their investigations. It's likely that the males, aged 30 and 33, have information about the weapons lab.
As well as guns, police also found cannabis, GHB and steroids. Five people were charged with 25 drugs offences. As a result of the raids along the Gold Coast, police believe they have succeeded in closing down a drugs and weapons trafficking network.
"Part of the reason the warrants were executed on Friday was to target and disrupt the distribution of drugs for schoolies," Wacker said. Schoolies are annual celebrations in the region for school-leavers.
Currently, 3D printed gun laws in Australia prohibit anyone from even possessing a digital blueprint for the manufacture of a firearm. This also applies whether this is on a 3D printer or CNC milling machine. The maximum penalty is up to 14 years.
Unsure about the law and how it applies to you in your workshop? Check out this site developed by staff at the University of Melbourne. They provide detailed information to help makers understand Australian laws.

The Taliban's reclusive leader ruled out talks with President Hamid Karzai and called on Afghans on Wednesday to break off relations with his "stooge" administration.
Mullah Omar's message, issued ahead of the Muslim Eid holiday this weekend, comes less than a week before President Barack Obama is expected to announce an increase of thousands of troops for Afghanistan. The White House has said Obama is focusing on how the United States eventually will withdraw from Afghanistan, even as he plans to send more forces.
In a statement, Omar insisted foreign troops were losing the war.
His message, issued Wednesday ahead of the Muslim Eid holiday, came a week after Karzai reached out to the Taliban during his inauguration speech, saying it was important to include in the government former Taliban who were ready to renounce terrorism. The hardline militia has long refused to negotiate with the Karzai government or join what it considers a puppet administration.
"Ground realities in our beloved country indicate that the invaders are about to escape," Omar said in the message posted on a Web site used by the Taliban and e-mailed to journalists from an address often used to send out his statements.
Omar led the Taliban regime that was toppled by the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, and has not been seen since. Afghan officials claim he is in hiding in Pakistan.
As the Taliban insurgency gathers strength, U.S. military officials expect Obama to authorize an infusion of approximately 32,000 to 35,000 troops to begin in February or March, which would be the largest expansion since the beginning of the war in 2001. Obama is to make a public address on his Afghan strategy Tuesday night.
NATO countries are also preparing to send more soldiers, with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown saying 10 NATO nations are ready to offer about 5,000 more troops. Britain, which has 9,000 troops in Afghanistan, the second-largest contingent after the United States, has not named the countries it claims will provide the extra troops.
As part of efforts to bolster Afghanistan's own security forces, the Interior Ministry announced Wednesday a salary hike for police to help boost recruitment and retention and curb rampant corruption in the force that suffers a higher death rate than the nation's army.
Bolstering Afghanistan's police force, which is underpaid and under-equipped, is seen as crucial to improving security and eventually allowing foreign troops to go home.
Interior Minister Mohammad Hanif Atmar said monthly salaries for police working in high-risk areas will increase from $180 to $240, while those of police in lower risk areas will increase from $120 to $210.
Chief spokesman for the NATO-led force in Afghanistan acknowledged the Taliban had gained momentum in their insurgency. "We need to neutralize locally some of those initiatives to slow them down," Canadian Brig. Gen. Eric Tremblay said.
But he also said the militants were aware of progress made in the country with international support, so were trying to undermine the government.
"At the end, President Karzai has been quite clear that reconciliation and reintegration is on the table," Tremblay said.
In his message, the Taliban leader urged Afghans to eschew the Karzai government.
"I hope you will continue your legitimate jihad (holy war) and struggle in the way of realizing your Islamic aspirations ... and break off all relations with the stooge Kabul administration," Omar said.
Omar said there would be no negotiations that would prolong or legitimize the presence of foreign forces in the country.
"Those who have occupied our country and taken our people as hostage, want to use the stratagem of negotiation like they used the drama of elections for some time in order to achieve their colonialist objectives," he said. "However, the people of Afghanistan will not agree to negotiation which prolongs and legitimizes the invaders' military presence."
The Taliban leader lambasted U.S.-backed efforts to create militias that would fight the militants _ a plan that has been compared to the U.S.-fostered Awakening Councils in Iraq, which have often been credited with reducing violence there, and similar to neighboring Pakistan's tribal armies which also have been touted as a success.
Omar called on Taliban militants to "mete out an exemplary punishment to those who are leading these mischief-making activities."
But he urged them to avoid civilian deaths. Taliban bombs often kill civilians in their pursuit of government or military targets.
Militants were to blame for about three-quarters of the 1,500 civilian deaths in the first eight months of 2009, according to the United Nations. However, the Taliban statement blamed U.S. and NATO forces for killing civilians in military operations, and said these nations are guilty of human rights abuses because of the mistreatment of prisoners.
Separately, the Danish army said Wednesday a Danish soldier had been killed by an explosive device during foot patrol in southern Afghanistan.
Elsewhere, the U.S. military said Wednesday that it had lost contact with a Predator drone in southern Afghanistan on Saturday.
The U.S. Air Force Central Command said in a statement that there was "no indication enemy action was involved." It said the unmanned aircraft's primary mission was reconnaissance.
Associated Press writers Rahim Faiez, Deb Riechmann and Heidi Vogt in Kabul contributed.

How to declutter the mess and make your house organized?
It has proven that people have a problem getting rid of old things and over the years they become hoarders. There are many reasons why is this happening, some of them are emotionally attached to things, while other are guided with a thought, they will need the things they collected over the years. But, if you want to make your house shine again and see your furniture in the real light, then follow our tips and trick that will help you declutter your home.
Remove the things you don't use
Even if you think you will need them someday, you won't, trust us! If your stuff has been collecting the dust for years, it is less likely you will use them anytime soon. They are just jamming up your space and enabling you to have a beautiful and clean house. First, start with the things you haven't used for years and put them into bags and get rid of them. You can always do a noble deed and donate the stuff you aren't using anymore. Then go for things you haven't utilized in the last couple of month. Once you remove all clutter from your house, you won't be able to recognize it.
Create a maybe box
If you are still having a hard time separating from some things, put them in "maybe" box. But, don't go crazy with the stuff, this box is just for cases when you can't make a decision, and you still think you will need these things in the future. After a couple of months, review the maybe box and if you can remove more stuff from it. It is important to keep your house clean and organized; mass can only disturb your everyday activities and make you feel more nervous.
Sanitize and clean everything
Once you've taken out the things you don't need anymore, it's time to clean your house. Most of the stuff we accumulated in basements, attics, and closets, but it doesn't mean you only have clean these three areas. Start with the entire house, if you have small kids, this process is essential. First, use sanitizers to disinfect the entire area and then move to cleaning. Wipe every surface of your house, once the job is completed, you will enjoy your hard work by taking a rest in a clean and fresh house.
Prevent this issue in the future
If you don't pay attention, your home and the things you are keeping, you can end up in the same situation. It is crucial to organize your stuff; use different cabinets and organizers to select the things you will use every day. Also, you should have organizers for the things you don't use very often. Keep in mind that minimalism is still trendy, so why would you need the things you barely use. You shouldn't neglect the furniture as well, get rid of everything that is old and broken.

The Lowdown on Output Transformers
Output transformers are one of the most important factors in the sound of a tube guitar amp, but they don't get discussed as often as other components for a few reasons: output transformers, or OPT's, are fairly expensive, they're inconvenient to swap out, and there aren't many transformer options available for most amps.
How They Work
The output transformer couples the signal from the output tube or tubes to the speaker. The tubes feed one coil, which is magnetically coupled to another coil through literally a bunch of iron, and the speaker is connected to that second coil. Most of the signal makes it through the transformer without becoming too distorted, and the rest becomes heat.
Why is a transformer needed at all? It's the same reason a car's engine isn't connected directly to its wheels: the engine turns optimally within one speed range, and the tires at another. Think of the output transformer as an amp's transmission – a one-speed, fluid-coupled transmission. The tubes are like an engine that's most content going a few thousand RPM, and the speaker is like the wheels turning at only a few RPM. The important thing to remember is that the load on the transformer's output – i.e. the speaker – is "felt" by its input, or primary.
To illustrate this, think of a fixie, or fixed-gear bike – one where the rear hub can't coast or freewheel. If the bike is moving, so are its pedals. When you climb up a hill, it's harder to pedal. If you're going down a steep hill, the pedals might be turning as fast as you can keep up with. The load on the bike's wheels (gravity) is reflected back to the driving force (your legs). A tube amp's output transformer works the very same way: it reflects the speaker load across its secondary back to the tubes via the transformer's ratio. At the risk of belaboring the bicycle analogy, just as a multigear bike lets you choose how hard you have to push the pedals to go up a hill, output tubes can function into a range of loads, affecting power output as well as distortion magnitude and character.
You'll often see a specification say that an output transformer has something like an 8000 ohm primary and an 8 ohm secondary. It would be more accurate to say that that transformer will present an 8000-ohm load to the output tube(s) if there's an 8-ohm load connected to its secondary. In other words - and this is a more useful spec – that transformer has a 1000:1 impedance ratio.
So what happens if the speaker load is 4 ohms instead of 8? That OPT with its impedance ratio of 1000:1 will now present those output tubes with a reflected load of 4,000 ohms. They may or may not like it. In any case, they'll operate differently, deliver a different power level, and a different sound. Or they could melt and cost someone a lot of money.
In the same way, removing two output tubes from an amp that has four of them doubles the impedance reflected to the remaining tubes. Of course, this can be compensated for by halving the speaker load, e.g. from 16 to 8 ohms, or from 8 to 4.
It's important to realize an 8-ohm speaker doesn't present a pure 8-ohm load to the output transformer the way an 8-ohm resistor would. A speaker's impedance rating is its average resistance to an AC signal. It'll be 8 ohms at one or two frequencies, and more or less than that at all others. So that changing load, which is being affected by which notes are being played and how that speaker reacts to them, is always being reflected back to the amp's output tubes.
This touches on why it's generally a bad idea to operate a tube amp with the speakers disconnected: that's an infinitely light load being reflected back to the tubes. They don't like that. For that reason, the output jacks on many amps actually short the OPT's secondary when the speakers are unplugged, offering a bit of short-term protection from tube damage. With tubes, a heavy load can be better than none at all.
I mentioned that the output transformer is a little like a fluid-coupled transmission. That's because output load variations like high or low frequencies or fast transients are not all reflected purely back to the output tubes. The output transformer can be seen as a non-phase-linear bandpass filter, and its inherent non-linearity can compromise the effectiveness of negative feedback loops that include it.
What's Inside
The output transformer in a tube guitar amp is an iron-core transformer. It's essentially two coils wound around the same block of iron. That iron is sliced up into thin layers, or laminations, so that currents don't form in the iron that would interfere with its ability to transfer signals efficiently from one coil to the other.
The coils are wrapped one on top of the other onto the same form or bobbin, which is then slipped over the iron core's center shaft. In practice, part of the primary is wound onto the form, then some or all of the secondary, then more primary, and so on. This is called interleaving. In high-end audio transformers for tube hi-fi amps there can be a lot of interleaving, which helps the magnetic coupling of the two coils, reduces losses, and improves frequency response.
From a purely technical standpoint, the output transformers in a lot of great sounding vintage amps were actually a weak link. Transformer iron is expensive, so some amps' transformers were undersized and would saturate at high signal levels. They also had a minimum of interleaving, which also helped keep the costs down. Frequency response is not critical for electric guitar: the low E is about 80 hertz, and typical guitar speakers were only functional up to about 5kHz tops, so why bother with a high-quality output transformer?
Some people believe that old transformers have some sort of special "mojo", owing to the type of construction and materials used, like the paper or the formula of their varnish. It would be interesting to conduct a double-blind listening test with all other parameters held constant to see whether these things actually make a detectable difference. Although they might be present in an amp that sounds good, the reasons for that sound probably lie elsewhere. Insulating materials in a transformer don't behave like the dielectrics in capacitors, which are electrostatic devices. What matters most in a tube guitar amp output transformer is that its materials can stand up to several thousand volts and possible high temperatures without melting, burning, or becoming perforated.
So if the guitar amp output transformer is a lo-fi piece of iron, how can it have so much impact on the amp's sound? We've discussed how output tube efficiency and distortion characteritics will depend on the speaker load that's reflected upstream via the transformer. Low-efficiency coupling means less volume and more heat, so amplifier designers typically want those tubes to be seeing a load that allows them to deliver the most clean power. But we guitarists like a little dirt, preferably from several places at once. The way to find the sweet spot where the output tubes are distorting in a way we like is by being willing to sacrifice a little bit of efficiency. This is a worthwhile trade-off, as many tube amps don't sound their best until they're impractically loud anyway. In general, a lighter than optimum load favors 3rd harmonic distortion, whereas a heavier load favors 2nd harmonic distortion.
To a limited extent, it's possible to experiment with tweaking the load on the output tubes by changing the speaker load and/or the amp's output impedance selector. But don't do this indiscriminately, as it can permanently damage your amp's costliest components. Plan your experiment and calculate the new load on the output tubes, checking it against the dissipation limits on the data sheet.
A Helpful Tip
There's a way to roughly measure the impedance ratio of an unknown output transformer. Two important facts make this possible. First, the impedance ratio is the square of the voltage ratio. This means a transformer with a measured voltage ratio of 30 to 1 has an impedance ratio of 30 x 30, or 900:1. Second, a transformer's primary and secondary are interchangeable. This means you can apply an AC voltage to the secondary, and read a higher voltage on the primary, which makes for more accurate readings. Connect a signal generator capable of driving a low impedance (like a tuner app on your phone fed through a small signal transformer), and connect it to the mystery transformer's secondary. Measure that AC voltage, then measure the voltage across the entire unloaded primary. Divide the two voltages and square the result to get an approximation of the impedance ratio. As we did before, multiply the chosen speaker impedance by that impedance ratio to get the primary impedance, or load presented to the output tube or tubes.
Wrapping it Up
Like pickups and speakers, a tube amp's output transformer is an electromagnetic device that plays a crucial (and often overlooked) role in forming one's overall tone. Keeping in mind how the transformer reflects ("transforms") speaker impedance back to the output tube or tubes can be the basis for some informative experimentation. It might even save those precious output tubes from a spectacular demise.

Installation Specific Information
The Navy's Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is designed to assist sailors by addressing the special needs of their exceptional family members (EFM) during the assignment process. Special needs include any special medical, dental, mental health, developmental or educational requirement, wheelchair accessibility, adaptive equipment or assistive technology devices and services. EFMP/special needs guidance is contained in:
The primary goal of the EFMP is to ensure the special needs of EFM can be met at a new assignment location. EFMP enrollment information enables Navy detailers to proactively consider a family member's special need requirements during the assignment process and to pinpoint the assignment to a location with appropriate resources that address the special needs. Successful implementation requires up-to-date enrollment information and extensive coordination among the personnel, medical, and educational communities.
EFMP enrollment is mandatory and required immediately upon identification of a special need. Command points of contact and Navy military treatment facility (MTF) EFMP coordinators can assist service and family members with the enrollment process. DD Form 2792 (9-03), Exceptional Family Member Medical Summary and DD Form 2792-1 (9-03), Exceptional Family Member Special Education/Early Intervention Summary, are used for enrollment. DoD civilian employees and their family members do not enroll in the EFMP.
There is a reluctance to enroll because of misconceptions that EFMP enrollment may limit assignments and career advancement, or preclude family members from accompanying sponsors on overseas tours. These negative perceptions are not supported by fact. Sailors enrolled in the EFMP have always received equal consideration for accompanied assignments and for promotions.
There are six EFMP enrollment categories which include:
The Navy Personnel Command (NAVPERSCOM) in Millington, TN is the proponent for EFMP. Contact info for EFMP operations (PERS-451) is: 901-874-4390 or DSN 312-882-4390. Contact info for EFMP policy (N151) is: 901-874-6770 or DSN 312-882-6670. NAVPERSCOM is responsible for:
The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) in Washington, DC also has EFMP responsibilities. BUMED (M322) EFMP contact info is: 202-762-3451 or DSN 312-762-3451. BUMED & Navy MTFs are responsible for:
Developing policy for healthcare providers and patient administrators to identify and enroll eligible family members in the EFMP.
Each military component has developed its own program that addresses special needs and assignment coordination. For additional information contact:

Teenage Ativan Abuse
Life as a modern teenager can be incredibly stressful, from extracurricular activities in preparation for college to striving for academic perfection. While some teens handle the pressure through regular social interactions and leisure activities, others have trouble finding a balance. For those truly struggling to handle the expectations of parents, friends, teachers, and coaches, drugs like Ativan can sometimes seem like a compelling way out. Tragically, while this strategy may provide temporary relief, it can also be the start of a dangerous addiction.
Drug use is quite common among teenagers, and that includes the use of prescription substances to cope with life. Due to the nature of a doctor's role in providing medication, many teens believe that prescription drugs, even those obtained illegally, are safe to use as needed, but this couldn't be farther from the truth.
If your teen is abusing Ativan, help is a necessity. Benzodiazepines have severely addictive properties and can cause long-term harm when abused, no matter how benign they may appear. However, your teen doesn't have to suffer this fate. With the help of the Teen Treatment Center, your child can fully recover from Ativan addiction. To speak with an admissions counselor about our services, please call us at (844) 319-5239. We are available to answer your questions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.
What Is Ativan?
Ativan, also known by the drug name lorazepam, is in a class known as benzodiazepines, or benzos. These medications are extremely popular in the United States, with millions of prescriptions written every year. Ativan is among the most popular forms, providing relief to those with anxiety disorders, insomnia, seizures, and muscle spasms. Ativan is often legally provided to teens who suffer from:
- Panic disorders
- Severe anxiety
- Social anxiety disorder
- Phobias
- Avoidant personality disorder
Benzodiazepines are generally classified as depressants or tranquilizers, relaxing the body's functions and suppressing certain forms of brain activity. Benzos like Ativan work by activating the GABA system in the brain; essentially, these drugs target receptors in the brain that respond to gamma-aminobutyric acid. GABA, a brain chemical that limits nerve activities, can cause sedation, drowsiness, and relaxation. In comparison to other benzos, Ativan is rather long-lasting with effects that can persist for hours.
What Are the Effects of Ativan?
Ativan is extremely effective at reducing anxiety and maintaining a relaxed state. This can be a very important for those who suffer from conditions that can be treated with benzodiazepines, but this function simply offers pleasurable sensations for those who do not.
Despite its utility, Ativan has numerous short and long-term effects. For short-term users, Ativan offers symptoms like:
- A reduced sense of anxiety, tension, and worry
- Increased feelings of euphoria
- Increased sense of well-being
- Drowsiness
Proper dosage is extremely important, however. When doses are increased past a safe boundary, it can cause confusion, depression, and memory loss. In an effort to strengthen pleasant effects without risking these consequences, many teens mix alcohol and other drugs with benzos. Unfortunately, this is extremely dangerous; mixing alcohol with Ativan greatly increases overdose risk.
While Ativan can prove to be very useful when used as prescribed, long-term use is not encouraged. With years of doses, patients may suffer from more serious versions of the short-term effects, including extreme fatigue and an overall lack of energy. Other effects include cognitive impairment and dementia-like symptoms that may be temporary or permanent.
Overdose is rare but possible while taking Ativan. A very high dose, or a dose mixed with other illicit substances like opioids, can trigger a potentially fatal overdose. Symptoms include:
- Ataxia
- Confusion
- Paradoxical reactions
- Respiratory depression
- Hypotension
- Coma
- Death
Due to the serious nature of these effects, Ativan overdose is incredibly dangerous. In order to minimize the risks of a potential overdose, teen Ativan abuse should be addressed as soon as possible in a licensed rehabilitation center.
Ease of Access
Ativan is rather easy for teens to acquire, although more challenging than popular drugs like alcohol and marijuana. Due to the frequency of prescriptions, many teens have family members or friends who use Ativan for a legal reason who are willing to sell it on the street.
The growing popularity of online pharmacies also makes it much easier for teens to acquire prescription drugs. Sold from other countries with more relaxed laws, these websites will dispense drugs to virtually anyone who is willing to pay.
Signs of Ativan Use
Despite the risks, Ativan is a highly abused substance, with an estimated 20 million Americans using lorazepam inappropriately at some point in life. Most teens enjoy Ativan for its sedative effects, but it can cause numerous problems when taken without a doctor's supervision.
Some common signs and symptoms of an Ativan addiction include:
- Poor judgment
- Slurred speech
- Changes in their sleep patterns
- Lack of coordination
- Drowsiness
- Missing prescriptions from the medicine cabinet
- Secretive phone calls or text messages
Teens with drug habits are often willing to go to extreme lengths to procure and use drugs. They may lie, steal, cheat, or turn away from family members, friends, and hobbies. Academic performance may also suffer.
Ativan does not require much in the way of paraphernalia to use properly. In general, teens take pills orally, but may also snort them for a quicker high. Be on the lookout for small white pills that are shaped like an A or have a large A on the front.
Teens who are addicted to Ativan may show withdrawal symptoms when their access to medication is removed, like:
- Headache
- Nausea and vomiting
- Excessive sweating and shaking
- Insomnia
- Aggression
- Seizures
- Sensitivity to noise and light
- Suicidal thoughts
These symptoms are indicative of a serious addiction. If you feel that your teen is addicted to Ativan or is demonstrating signs of withdrawal, please contact Teen Treatment Center as soon as possible for assistance.
Rehabilitation for Ativan Addiction
As a controlled substance, Ativan has a high likelihood of abuse when used regularly or in high doses. If you suspect Ativan abuse or have found evidence of an addiction in your teen, the help you need is here.
Teen Treatment Center is a licensed and accredited facility specializing in adolescents aged 13 to 17. Combined, our medical doctors, psychiatrists, licensed counselors, and nurses have decades of experience with addiction treatment, providing a safe, secure location for your teen to overcome his addiction.
We believe in a personalized approach to care, utilizing a balance between group and individual therapies to help your teen explore the depths of his addiction, discover the root cause of his actions, and learn healthy, well-adjusted coping techniques. We realize that Ativan addiction affects every teenager differently, and we craft our treatments accordingly. Our staff will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your teen's physical, mental and educational needs, with services like:
- Medically safe drug detox
- Individual therapy
- Group counseling
- Academic support
- Family therapy
- Dual diagnosis treatment
- Recreational therapy
No matter what you and your teen need to move forward, Teen Treatment Center can make a difference.
Ativan Detox
Due to the nature of benzodiazepines, detox is normally recommended for teen substance abusers who have developed an addiction to Ativan. An addiction to benzos is both physical and mental, and the withdrawal process can cause numerous medical consequences if not managed by a professional.
In order to keep your teen as safe as possible, we personally assess each and every new patient at our center to determine the efficacy of detox. Throughout this process, teens will be overseen by doctors, nurses, and support staff who are able to provide assistance as necessary to guarantee a successful departure from the risks of physical addiction. Upon the conclusion of detox, teens will transition into a more comprehensive rehabilitation program, working with counselors, medical staff, and their peers to embrace sobriety.
Gender-Separate Treatment
The teenage years can be extremely trying, with or without drugs. The social pressure, the rocky path to self-discovery, and the looming presence of romantic relationships can be hard to deal with, especially for those who turn to drugs due to these challenges.
At Teen Treatment Center, we believe that a gender-separate facility can make a significant difference for teens in need, providing a safe, secure place to work through problems. This process is designed to foster growth and independent development without the distractions or negative emotions that can arise in a mixed-gender setting, giving your teen the best possible chance at a successful recovery.
Let Us Help Your Family
We understand how difficult it is to watch your child struggle with addiction, but there is hope. With the proper treatment and support, your teen can win their battle and emerge stronger and healthier than ever before. From targeting the source of addiction to providing a medically-supervised environment for detox, we can do it all.
To find out how Teen Treatment Center can help your teen, call us now at (844) 319-5239. All consultations are strictly confidential.
Teen Treatment Center has been awarded
the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval.

Scott Adams on pleasing others with art
The Artist's Secret is that all art comes from abnormal brains. So if you create art that satisfies your own tastes, you have created for a market of exactly one abnormal person. If you're lucky, a handful of other freaks get some joy from your creations too. But it won't be enough to pay your bills. It's not a career until you learn to create products that normal people like.

I moved this blog away from Squarespace a little while back, and it was working well enough, looking back I'm not really sure what my motivation was to move it but move it I did.
Fast forward to today, and here I am moving the blog again, this time to WordPress.
Tumblr was an ok enough place to post blogs, particularly images and reblogs, but it just didn't "feel" like home. I can't really put it into words what didn't feel right on Tumblr, I just couldn't get into a rhythm there, and the distraction of seeing other people's posts inline kind of bugged me a bit.
Anyway, here we are on WordPress waiting for DNS changes to happen, and let's see where we go from here.

Three decades ago, the now-deceased brothers, who were founders of Rocky Produce Inc. and The Rocky Investment Co., developed what today are known as the Rocky Peanut Lofts at the corner of Russell Street and the Fisher Freeway.
Originally planned as the A. Jacobs Lofts, the $300,000 project resulted in the first legal lofts in Detroit, Crain's reported in 1985, the year the nine-unit development opened.
From the archives: Eastern Market building owners have lofty plans (March 25, 1985)
Lofts were allowed under provisions added to the 1984 Detroit City Code, which defines a loft as "a dwelling unit in a building originally constructed for other than residential use containing one or more rooms or enclosed floor spaces arranged for living, eating, sleeping and/or a home occupation, [and] which contains bathroom and kitchen facilities."
The city's loft ordinance became effective in June 1985, according to Rory Bolger, zoning specialist with the city planning commission.
For years, primarily artists and photographers occupied unsanctioned lofts in Detroit, living and working in space not approved by what is now the Buildings, Safety Engineering & Environmental Department.
Few people thought the development would work, said Robert Heide, Rocco's son-in-law and the project manager on Rocky Peanut Lofts.
" 'Rocky is crazy,' people said. 'No one will want to live at Eastern Market,' and that turned out not to be true," Heide said.
Rocky Peanut Lofts sits above the building that houses Supino's, Russell Street Deli and others. Thirty years ago, the building needed things like new electrical and water systems, and wall and window replacements. However, the five retail tenants on the first floor didn't generate enough revenue for the brothers to complete them.
So the 10,000 square feet of unused second-floor space was converted into the lofts.
"We doubled the rentable square footage," Heide said.
The Rocky Peanut Lofts, ranging from 800 square feet to 1,700 square feet, rented in 1985 for $600 to $1,200 per month (about 70 to 75 cents per square foot). The average loft rents for $1.25 to $1.50 per square foot today, Heide said.
Since the project's completion, several more loft developments have come online in Eastern Market, including E&B Brewery Lofts, Leland Lofts, FD Lofts, Detroit Candy Co. Lofts and 14-34 Howrani.
Dan Carmody, president of Eastern Market Corp., said the district has about 120 loft units and that there is opportunity for another 400 to 500 residential units, including lofts, in the area along Gratiot and the Dequindre Cut.
One example: As soon as a tenant moves out of the 26-unit E&B Brewery Lofts at Winder and Orleans streets, another is ready to take up occupancy, said Jim Pellerito, owner of the lofts and Detroit-based Pellerito Foods Inc.
Demand for for-sale loft space in Eastern Market has increased in recent years as the central business district and Midtown continue to see occupancy rates around 98 percent, said Sabra Sanzotta, founder and broker of The Loft Warehouse, which primarily sells and leases lofts, condominiums and apartments from its office in FD Lofts at Russell Street and Mack Avenue.
"There is almost nothing to buy downtown," she said. "This is about the closest real estate to downtown that you can actually buy."
Heide's 34-unit FD Lofts is an example of that. Heide, owner of Urban Life Development LLC and Yorkshire Construction Co., is turning the rental units into loft-style condominiums, 22 of which have been sold and the remainder of which are under contract.
Rocco, who died in 2011, and Dominic, who died last year, left a lasting impression on Eastern Market, said Heide, who also managed the Rocky Peanut Lofts until around 2001.
"It was a catalyst for change in that it was the beginning of the change at Eastern Market from strictly wholesale food and a little bit of restaurants and introducing the residential component," he said.
