Survivor Series 2015 LIVE Updates!
Here at Wrestling's Dirty Deeds, we shall be bringing the action to you live from WWE Survivor Series 2015 as and when it happens courtesy of the WWE Network. We'll be covering everything that occurs on the show whether it be good or bad, and I shall be enjoying a couple of ciders as the show progresses. Keep refreshing throughout the night to update on the action as it occurs…
Pre-Show: after a 15 technical hiccup which has gotten everyone seemingly, we are now underway with the pre-show and it's panel, Renee Young, Booker T, Byron Saxton and the one who's name has gone completely over my head. Anyhow, they are talking about their various match predictions for the evening and who they think might walk out the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
A pretty cool promo is shown depicting the feud and hatred which has come between Paige and Charlotte, I'm pretty pumped for tonight's Diva's Championship match and arguably has the possibility of being one of the most anticipated Divas matches this year. We go backstage to Charlotte being interviewed, who talks about her actions from the previous weeks RAW but she seriously lacks something, great wrestler but honestly something is missing, I can't quite put my finger on what it is. We now go to ringside with Lawler, Cole and JBL who are talking about the Traditional Elimination match, which is up next on the pre-show…
Traditional Five-on-Five Elimination match: The Miz, Bo Dallas, Stardust and The Ascension vs. Neville, The Dudley Boyz, Titus O'Neil and Goldust
Why oh why is this match on the pre-show, a match which is supposed to be about the Survivor Series and it has being relegated to the pre-show and none of the competitors have being announced…why oh why. All the competitors are announced, and the last man announced is…Goldust! Seriously, if he is returning with a pop like that, why isn't this match on the main show! Viktor is quickly eliminated by Goldust through a scoop slam before Konnor and Titus take to the ring. I think that I've got a sneaky suspicion how this match is going to go. After the match is interrupted by highly unnecessary promos, the action seems to have slowed down a little bit but the fans seem to be really into this match. Surprisingly, Neville is the next competitor eliminated by The Miz but this is quickly counteracted by The Miz being eliminated by Goldust before yet more adverts! Michael Cole announces during the match that there will be another Survivor Series elimination match on the main show tonight, slightly better move I suppose but it isn't clear who the competitors for this match will be…given the amount of injuries this could be a stretch potentially.
Eventually, this match comes down to a 4-on-1 battles after all of Stardust's partners are eliminated…he attempts to escape the arena but is stopped before inadvertently walking into a 3D to be eliminated allowing Goldust, Titus and The Dudleyz to pick up the win and become the survivors…sort of how I predicated it would go minus one person. Ok match, I did get a little bored to be honest and the constant adverts really got on my nerves.
Match Rating: 2.0 out of 5.0 Stars
We go backstage to a longer than anticipated interview with Tyler Breeze and Summer Rae who comes across as exceptionally cocky by Summer looks very delightful this evening (trying to be PG) but I can't help but notice how much Tyler looks like Christian circa 1999/2000. We then go back to the pre-show panel who are discussing The Undertaker and Kane versus The Wyatts in a match which should be pretty awesome, but for this I like that we don't know which Wyatt Family members it will be…as long as Bray is included, then I am happy. We then go to a promo depicting their feud, but surprisingly there isn't a reference to Taker and Brays's match at WrestleMania 31. Anyhow, we are now off too the main show…
Main Show
After the normal opening video, we go straight to the ring where Lilian Garcia is singing the American National Anthem which seems quite poignant given the goings on in the world at this present time. A pretty cool opening promo is shown about the 25 Years of The Undertaker before focusing on his feud with the Wyatt Family. They have gone very old school with some of their clips for this and seem to have actually done their homework a little bit. We're now going to a package about the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament, but sadly it still seems predictable but also lacks some depth within it. We now go live to the arena, for the opening pyro spectacular before it is announced quickly that the semi-finals are now underway.
Semi-Final Tournament match: Roman Reigns vs. Alberto Del Rio
Roman Reigns makes his way out first to pretty much no reaction, followed by Del Rio who comes out to a very tepid reaction surprisingly. I'm not sure what to make of this, but think that this should be a pretty good match. The match is pretty back and forth, there were a few times I thought WWE were going to shock us with a Del Rio win with lots of near finishes. Eventually, Reigns picks up the win following a spear in a pretty decent opening match, but honestly this should have being a bit longer and a true quality wrestling match could have being had.
Match Rating: 3.0 out of 5.0 Stars
We go backstage to Jo Jo interviewing Roman Reigns, who is quickly interrupted by Ambrose…I smell a double cross, I really do where they exchange nice gestures in a bit of a butt kissing session before Kevin Owens interrupts and advises them that he'll be in the final. Interesting, but to the next match…
Semi-Final Tournament match: Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens
I'm pretty hyped for this match, both men have really contrasting styles which should bounce really well off one another but Owens tells an exceptionally compelling story in the ring whereas Ambrose is just fantastic. As the action gets underway, Owens is pretty much dominating the action and displaying the over-confidence in his character. Ambrose eventually mounts a brief comeback before his is overpowered again by Owens, who then misses but executes a pretty damn impressive moonsault. Ambrose now mounts another comeback and nails Owens with a powerful clotheslines before taking a couple of suicide dives, before Owens mounts a comeback and takes an almost F5 onto the announce table. After countering a couple of powerbomb attempts, Dean Ambrose nails his Dirty Deeds to pick up the win in a really enjoyable match, loved it.
Match Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0 Stars
It is now confirmed that it will be Reigns vs Ambrose for the WWE Title in the main event, should be a pretty awesome match before we go to probably the first of many promos celebrating 25 Years of The Undertaker! Next up, we have a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match…
Traditional Five-on-Five Elimination match: Ryback, The Lucha Dragons and The Usos vs. The New Day, Sheamus and King Barrett
Another bonus match of such as it seems, Ryback's team seem an odd combination but the other seems even more bizarre. The New Day come out and cut another amazing promo but Sheamus and Barrett seem to be smiling and nodding like gormless dogs! The match begins with Xavier and one of the Uso's before the other is tagged in, before we are treated to Xavier's screams not to touch his hair. We then have quite a few tags in and out to try and keep the action fresh, but I can't help but think that if there was a background story to this then it would have gave the audience an opportunity to care and invest in it. After lots of high flying moves, we see Ryback dive off the top rope to take everyone out at ringside. Whilst we are treated to what is supposedly a Unicorn Stampede, Xavier gets his tromphone out which causes Big E AND Barrett to shake their booties! Barrett is the first one eliminated – seriously annoyed about this one before Jimmy Uso is the next eliminated. Now the eliminations have started, they are coming quick and fast with Big E being the first man of The New Day being eliminated, before all three walk out of the arena leaving Sheamus to do this by himself. Sheamus enters the ring and displays quite a lot of aggression towards Kalisto, which is pretty cool and suits him quite well…somehow, I think they are trying to build him for something bigger maybe. I seem to be have proven slightly wrong, as Sheamus is eliminated following a Shell Shock leaving Jey, one of the Luchas and Ryback as the survivors in an okay match, it is what it is, was nothing special.
Match Rating: 2.0 out of 5.0 Stars
Diva's Championship: Charlotte vs. Paige
Nextup is the Diva's title match, and the pretty awesome promo is shown again before Paige makes her way out first, by god she is hot and her heelish antics make it even more so before Charlotte comes out next to a very lackluster reaction. In the early minutes, they are having a very intense and physical match which is almost a brawl in some respects but it is nice to see a great contest within the women's division. After a lot of domination by Paige, Charlotte mounts a comeback and almost takes Paige's head off with a big boot until Paige comes back again and starts mocking Charlotte. Charlotte eventually nails Paige with a face plant to the ring apron which seems to daze Paige. Charlotte uses a nice variety of moves to dominate Paige, in a really good women's match, the best I have seen in a long time. Brief moment were the internet died on me but it seems to be back now. We are back with the pre-show panel, but Charlotte's music is playing in the background so she must be the winner…hopefully this means round 2 for these soon, absolutely cracking match.
Match Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0 Stars
We are treated to another exchange of pleasantries backstage between Ambrose and Reigns, I am seriously smelling something occurring here…is it me or am I completely off the scent? Something needs to happen to liven up this show though!
Tyler Breeze vs. Dolph Ziggler
This should be a pretty interesting match because they are very similar characters in many ways but should be a pretty good match overall and a great story told. Logically, Breeze should win this because it will help elevate him to the next level and continue his rise within the WWE. Ziggler doesn't need the win as much as Breeze does, but the action is very solid with lots of strong moves from both men even though Summer Rae in yellow is a massive distraction for me. Breeze picks up the win after nailing Ziggler with an Unprettier (great move) and celebrates with summer and his selfie stick. Pretty solid match, but could have really done with a little bit more time to make it that next step of great.
Match Rating: 3.0 out of 5.0 Stars
Next up, we have Kane and The Undertaker versus two members of the Wyatt Family, this should be a cracker of the match but I'd love to have some form of surprise in this to make it even better for me.
Kane and The Undertaker vs, The Wyatt Family
A great promo is shown depicting the rise of The Wyatt Family to take on Taker and Kane, a great amount of details seems to have gone into this with their research certainly being done. The Wyatt Family make their way out first, in what is still an amazing entrance and makes me shiver when I see it. Kane makes his way out next before he is joined by his brother, The Undertaker. A pretty awesome entrance is shown for The Undertaker, with the burning crosses being here once again. I am loving the montage of his characters transition through time, that is pretty cool. Now, hopefully the match is longer than the promo and entrances. On a side note, I think Taker ran out of black hair dye, he is looking a little grey in places!
It appears to be Bray and Luke Harper who will be contesting the action, after Erick Rowan is taken out with a chokeslam. They start talking about Taker's history at Survivor Series, mentioning 1991 WWE Title win from Hulk Hogan without mentioning Hogan's name. Taker is looking pretty great in this match, a bit slow but great nonetheless. Kane is soon tagged in and seems to get the majority of the beating from Bray and Harper before Taker is tagged back in, and between them they take out Strowman with a chokeslam through the announce table. After a brief distraction, Wyatt hits Taker with Sister Abigail but is saved by Kane before they mount a comeback with double chokeslams. Taker and Kane eventually pick up the win after Taker nails Harper with a Tombstone for the win. Honestly, I expected so much more from this match and I am actually pretty disappointed with how it was contested. Should have being longer, but something more significant and notable should have happened.
Match Rating: 2.0 out of 5.0 Stars
WWE World Heavyweight Championship – Tournament Final: Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose
Now, I know we anticipated this match from the start and the WWE made it pretty damn obvious what the main event was going to be but nevertheless it should still be a pretty cool match, am looking forward to what occurs. The match starts off with Reigns overpowering Ambrose somewhat before it is countered by a variety of wrestling holds to ground Reigns. After a very back and forth contest with lots of near finishes, Reigns nails Ambrose with a spear to pick up the win and capture his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Cannot believe how unbelievably short this match was, to the point of ridiculous. It was an okay match but could have being so much better.
Match Rating: 2.5 out of 5.0 Stars
After the match, Reigns celebrates with lots of confetti and fireworks to which Triple H makes his way out to congratulate him but seemingly try and recruit him before he is nailed by a spear. Reigns turns around, and is nailed by a Brogue Kick by Sheamus who is cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. Reigns kicks out of the first one but doesn't succeed with the second, and Sheamus captures the WWE World Heavyweight Championship!
Overall, I am actually quite disappointed with the overall presentation of the show…it should have across as an opportunity to develop new stories but they seemed to have missed a beat because the overall show felt quite rushed in lots of places. They crammed in the extra Survivor Series match which was ultimately unneeded because it clearly added massively to timing constraints, some of the matches really needed more time to allow them to develop and be invested in properly. The whole show was pretty lackluster but the ending with Sheamus was pretty good and the highlight of the show…it saved the show for me, otherwise it would have being a disaster.
Show Rating: 2.5 out of 5.0 Stars
Do you agree with our review of Survivor Series 2015, if not why not…we'd love to know what you think!

Day 226
Starting Weight: 76.3 kg
Weight Before 90-Minute Run: 77.3 kg
Weight After Run: 76.3 kg
Final Weight: 76.6 kg
Final Result: gained .3 kg
Today definitely did not go off as well as yesterday. To some extent, this is natural because I am coming off a day where I lost .6 kg, which is well over a pound. So my body might reverse itself and retain water. This is not any kind of certainty, though. While my Pentamize tracking history has many examples of losing a large amount of weight on one day and still losing at least a little the next day, a "bounce back" effect is normal.
I only had so-so results on the run today, as well. After a good start to the day, where my weight was 77.3 kg before an afternoon run, my weight only dropped about 1.0 kg during the session. It ideally should at least be a little more than that. However, depending on diet, water retention, and other factors, it is still possible to lose weight under this scenario.
The problem today is I was just a little too hungry and probably ate slightly too much. And if you add that my body may have retained more water than usual, it was going to be difficult. I rose to roughly 77.4 kg before bedtime, and my weight didn't seem to be coming down very much the last couple of hours before going to bed. Thus, I was not really expecting good results for the morning weigh-in.
After getting up, I weighed in at 76.9 and then 76.8 after going to the bathroom. That was still a little time before the weigh-in. But it was clear the end result was going to be terrible. So I already knew that extreme measures would probably be necessary to recover from this. My workout for Day 227 will be in the evening, so there will be plenty of time to assess the situation. There is one big advantage to working out in the evening and after you have eaten all or almost all of your food for the day. But it is far from a foolproof way to lose or maintain weight. I will discuss evening workouts in the next blog post.
These kinds of days are very disappointing. When you don't really do anything wrong and still gain about a half a pound, it's disheartening. But consistency works once you have an effective system even though individual days are problematic. The key to weight loss is to track everything (I developed my own Pentamize system for this very purpose) until you have that winning system. Then, your ability to follow that system (willpower, consistency, tracking and adjusting when necessary, and the like) will be the determining factor. If you don't yet have a winning system, the Pentamize book can help you.

The pinnacle of light commercial vehicles is on the horizon with the 2014 Ford Transit, formerly known as the E-Series Wagon. This all-new van is completely redesigned from the ground up in order to provide the best in durability, efficiency, and customization for optimal performance on the job. You'll have to wait until early next year to get your hands on this innovative light commercial van, but when it is released, you can be sure that we'll have it here at Terry's Ford in Peotone, your local Bradley area Ford dealer. Here is a closer peek at the 2014 Ford Transit's revamped design!
One of the most noticeable changes from the former E-Series van is that it no longer has its traditional boxy, one-dimensional wagon exterior. The 2014 Ford Transit features a sleek, aerodynamic body with high ceilings on its van and wagon models. The Transit's new unibody construction is very lightweight in order to maintain exceptional fuel economy while also continuing its reputation for durability with its boron steel frame. Four different model configurations add to the new Transit's versatility as a light commercial vehicle. The spacious cargo van and passenger wagon will utilize the unibody construction to safely house your passengers and anything you might be hauling. The chassis cab and the cutaway models featuring direct cab-to-body access give drivers plenty of room to work with an open bed.
The 2014 Ford Transit comes available with three different engine options in order to provide optimum job efficiency.
The 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 engine puts the driver in control of the exhaust camshafts and intake. This helps to better optimize combustion when the van is at a full load in order to increase power while maintaining low-speed torque. For greater fuel efficiency, the 3.7L is flex-fuel capable.
The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine is a stellar combination of turbocharging and direct injection. For responsive surges of power, the two turbochargers achieve their operating speeds rather quickly and on demand when needed.
The 3.2L I-5 Power Stroke turbo diesel engine is perfect for vans that provide courier or transport services. Due to the aforementioned operating needs, this engine will provide efficient, responsive power while still being able to idle for long periods of time during stop-and-go driving conditions.
While it's not here at Terry's Ford yet, our customers can absolutely expect the 2014 Ford Transit to be on our lot in the first quarter of 2014. In the meantime, we have a wide variety of other light commercial vehicles including the current Ford E-Series Cargo Van. Come down to our dealership at 363 South Harlem Avenue in Peotone for a test drive. Our Bradley customers need only to take I-50 N to arrive in just under 25 minutes. We hope you stop by soon!

On March 13, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Pope by the papal conclave. Jorge had been the cardinal of Argentina since 2001. Before that he had served as Archbishop in Buenos Aires.
The seat of his power was The Metropolitan Cathedral in Buenos Aires. Located just across Plaza de Mayo from The Pink House, the cathedral was busy with people several days later when Jorge was installed as the 266th pope.
The first Jesuit to get the nod, the first pope from the Americas and the first pope from the southern hemisphere, thousands and thousands of people flooded the plaza to watch the installment of Jorge as Pope Francis via big screen television.
As I circled the plaza, I couldn't help but notice the sheer numbers of the people. I've been in the plaza at 2am when there was nobody around as well as in the late Argentine afternoon when thousands were there protesting some act government action.
But this was different. There were hundreds of thousands of people crammed into a space the size of a medium city block. Camera crews were everywhere, photographers were crawling all over like maggots on a fresh deer kill.
Always looking for the shot that no one else takes, I ignored everything that the news cameras had trained their lenses on. I didn't want shots of the vendors hawking plastic Pope Francis dolls or laser printed calendars showing the new pontiff.
I wanted something that captured the meaning of the morning. Something that would show to people what it was like to be there.
Grabbing a few shots of spectators and cops just to get the gear dialed in, I started wandering around the plaza. With my back to the big screens, I was staring into the faces of people who looked like they had just seen Jesus up there on the 24' television.
Stepping over some television stations snakelike cables, I saw them. I can't say if I saw him or her first -- it was an image that locked into my brain and all I can say is that I saw them. Two together locked into an embrace as though they were one.
The two of them. Silent and staring in the middle of this mass of humanity who came to worship the humble pope.
Turning the camera quickly on them, I squeezed off my standard three shots before disappearing into the crowd.
There was something about the man's look of utter defeat and hopelessness that stayed in my mind. As people all around him celebrated the elevation of a priest who was known for helping the poor, people forgot all about the homeless setting in their midst. I wander if I was alone in seeing this irony.
While bankers, lawyers and religious people all turned towards the big screen, this man was left alone with his child. I don't know what he was thinking. I don''t care.
What pisses me off is that the bankers, lawyers and religious people - all the people that Jesus condemned - were caught up and forgot his dashed hopes and dreams as they watched the pomp and ritual.
Maybe someone in the crowd besides me saw the man. Maybe there was one in the crowd that saw the hypocrisy being carried out privately in public
Maybe one day I'll have the chance to meet Jorge and I'll show him this photo. This photo that speaks volumes about how people can ignore Jesus' words when He said, ?"Even as you've done this to the least of these my brethern...".

Twerking- The workout?
I don't know why I even asked or mentioned knowing who my friends are, but I did anyway... I've been suffering from a bout of writer's block/funk/need a vacation/whatever. I alerted part of my squadron of my plight and here was one of the replies:
*Rolls eyes*
I mean, she does have a point. There are benefits to twerking, when done in 'correct form', and it is interesting to say the least. I'm all for dancing and trap music so I've decided to take this seriously and share with you guys some of the fitness benefits of twerking.
Twerking has been around for decades (Sorry Miley, you gets no credit here). Whether it's connected to the bounce days of DJ Jubilee from New Orleans or related to the ceremonious Mapouka dance Cote d'Ivoire, one thing for sure, shaking the booty isn't a fad.
Movement and muscles.
Muscles have a purpose. They allow us to perform basic movements in our everyday lives like walking and sitting by pulling on our bones to make the action come to life. Twerking is no exception. This movement incorporates the largest muscles of the body, the glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings. Activating those muscles by positioning yourself into a squat position, bent legs, knees not coming over the toes to prevent injury, you can easily feel the burn and see that twerking qualifies as a bonafide workout. Elevate your heart rate by moving up and down with your squat to the pace of the music. You can get creative with it and let your imagination run wild. Youtube has plenty of videos to intrigue your, ummm, adventurous side... [NSFW!].
Now, crank up your favorite trap song and get to work! Doing this for at least 15 minutes should get a mean sweat going.
Let me know if you try this out!
For your enjoyment, here's some twerk basics below.

Vice President Gore offered a broad view of the nation's often-treacherous racial terrain today, saying that more must be done to close the gaps that tend to separate minorities from whites in everything from wealth to Internet access.
Speaking before a national convention of minority journalists, Gore also offered a vigorous defense of affirmative action, saying the measures are still needed to ensure that racial minorities are treated fairly. He ridiculed those who argue against affirmative action programs based on the assumption that discrimination is a thing of the past.
"How in God's name do some people in our nation get the impression that one generation after Brown vs. Board, one generation after civil rights laws . . . all of a sudden we have a colorblind society?" Gore said.
The line won Gore loud applause from the assembled journalists, who themselves had debated whether to hold their Unity '99 convention in Seattle because of Washington state voters' passage last year of Initiative 200, a ballot measure that outlawed most affirmative action programs in state and local government. Affirmative action is a core issue for the Unity coalition because its mission is to increase the number of minorities in the nation's newsrooms and improve coverage of the nation's rapidly growing minority communities.
Gore was the fourth presidential candidate to appear before the group over the past two days. On Thursday, Democrat Bill Bradley addressed the conference, which is being attended by about 6,000 black, Latino, Asian American and Native American journalists. Republicans John McCain and George W. Bush caused a stir by making last-minute appearances at the conference Thursday after initially declining invitations to attend. McCain made a short speech and answered questions from a couple dozen journalists, while Bush spent about 15 minutes walking through the convention's job fair, shaking hands and answering questions from a trailing pack of reporters.
Gore spoke today at the start of a crowded plenary session about how the nation's changing racial makeup and emerging technologies will affect the country's future, a topic that has captivated Gore through the years.
The vice president called for an "all-out national crusade" to close the gap in computer and Internet access separating Americans. A Commerce Department report released Wednesday said the widening "digital divide" that has the poor and minorities far behind in access to computer technology is becoming one of the nation's leading "economic and civil rights issues."
Gore said government should double investment in information technology to fund storefront computer centers to make technology more accessible. He also said more should be spent on education to prepare young people to take advantage of computer technology. "In the 21st century, innovation and technology can be engines of opportunity, not engines of inequality," Gore said.
Gore ventured far beyond technology both in his prepared remarks and in his responses to questions. He said more must be done to close the health gaps separating minorities from whites, to bring high-quality teachers to inner-city schools and to bring an end to discriminatory practices, such as the use of racial profiling by police.
But perhaps his most passionate remarks were reserved for the topic of affirmative action. Gore said the nation did not need any more "phony" ballot initiatives such as the ones that have outlawed affirmative action programs in Washington and California.
Later, during a question-and-answer session, the vice president was challenged by an audience member who asserted that President Clinton has made similar pledges but turned up "missing in action" in the campaigns against the anti-affirmative action initiatives in both Washington and California.
The question prompted Gore not only to defend Clinton, whom he said vigorously opposed both ballot initiatives, but also to touch on his own vision for racial unity. Gore called the quest for racial unity a "sacred mission" for the country, given its history of racism and violence against minorities.
Gore said people around the world are "looking to us for proof that in the 21st century and beyond, humankind can dare hope to overcome the residue of the tragedy of our history."

Getting married is one of the biggest life events you will ever experience, and a day you've imagined since you were a child. Between the ring and the happily-ever-after comes your wedding day, a day that you will want to remember forever. Photography captures those moments that turn into memories, preserving them for years to come. Your photos should bring you back to your wedding day to show you things that you otherwise couldn't see, and to remind you of the joy and romance of the day.
I want you to love your wedding photos, and I believe all of my clients deserve the very best. I firmly believe that when you're hiring your photographer, you are not only hiring them for their vision and style, you're also hiring someone you will feel comfortable spending time photographing you and your families on one of the most important days of your life. My approach to photography is a healthy mix of lifestyle, formal, and photojournalistic photographs. I strive to create photographs that represent the pure romance and joy of your wedding day and I shoot continuously documenting all of the wedding bliss as it unfolds. I set you up for some poses during our "couple" time but I love having the opportunity of capturing those sweet, sincere moments so I just let you be you. I don't think of you as just another shot list. Instead, I invest my time in getting to know you and your wedding dreams.
So, why do I do this you ask? Well, I love love. Simple as that. I absolutely adore weddings and documenting your magical day from start to finish. I love the romance, the anticipation and excitement, the first kiss, first dance, the celebration, and all of the love and joy in between. All of the beautiful details and real emotions. To be honest, I catch myself crying at at least one point during each wedding I have the honor to photograph. You can just call me a hopeless romantic.
If you want a photographer who will laugh with you, smile with you, and most likely cry as you walk down the aisle or dance with your parents, please shoot me an email and we can have a chat to work out the right package that works for you and your needs.
One of the best parts about being a wedding photographer is that I get to work very closely with each and every couple I work with.
After our initial correspondence, we will have a face-to-fact or phone consultation to go over all of the details, you can learn more about me and how I work, and I can learn all about the wedding you've been planning and the vision you have for the day. I like to ensure that we are a perfect match! To move forward with booking, we will go over the contract, and once the 25% retainer has been received, I'm officially yours!
From the moment of our first initial correspondence until the moment you have the photographs in your hands, I am in contact with you every step of the way. You are planning your wedding and you want to ensure everything is perfectly perfect, and I am no different! I want to make sure that I keep in contact with you to make sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch!
Your Engagement Session is a reflection on you as a couple, and will be the best way for us to truly to get to know each other. Honestly, how often do you get to be dressed up and have a camera follow you around for an afternoon? I like to make these sessions personal to you as a couple. Do you love the Patriots? Bring your favorite jerseys along with you. Did you meet (or were you proposed to) on the high school football field? Let's have our session there! (true story!) Are you wine and cheese connoisseurs? Let's have a picnic-inspired session with your favorite wine and cheese! You get the idea :) The most important part to this for me is ensuring you are both comfortable, having fun and that I get to capture your love story!
About six weeks before your wedding I will send you another copy of a simple (yet detailed!) questionnaire that you can use while planning so that we can know exactly what you will need as far as photography is concerned. Having a timeline set beforehand will allow me (and you!) to know when and where I will need to be on your wedding day so there are no surprises. Between your engagement session, questionnaires and general check-ins, we will be very well acquainted by the time your wedding day arrives! We will have another meeting or phone conversation a few weeks before the wedding to create (or adjust) your wedding day timeline, answer any last minute questions, and ensure that I have all the details that I need.
On your wedding day, this is when I step in and do what I do best! I will capture the love and emotions of such a beautiful day. I will be there for all of the important moments of the day from the time your fiance sees you for the first time to your first dance, and dancing with your parents, as well as ensuring all of those little details you spent so much time creating, are captured.
Following your wedding, I will lightly retouch all of your wedding images. This is where the rest of the magic happens. I work to ensure the photos are as perfect as can be. I will share sneak peeks to Facebook within a few days of your wedding so you can enjoy a photo or two before heading off to the tropical location you chose for your honeymoon! Once your photos are ready, you will receive a link to your online gallery where you can view all of your photos in the different portions of the day and download all of the high resolution images. You will also receive your images on a USB if you choose to.

The new Clinique A Black Honey Affair Palettethat just came out recently is another favorite of mine. For 36$, these palettes are more on the affordable side compared to the Naked Palettes by Urban Decay, but the quality of the shadow and texture is just as good in my opinion. The colors are very pigmented and wear super well throughout the day. I swatched all of the colors as you can see. The top picture was the makeup I did for Christmas day. I was wearing Hazy, Black Honey and Lucky Penny on the top lid, with a little bit of the Dark Brown (Shade of Morning Java Quad)across the bottom lash line after I applied my Bobbi Brown long wear pencil in Mahogany. For lips, I am wearing a Bite High Pigment Matte Lip Pencil (Reviewed Here) in Quince. There are other color options for this type of eyeshadow palette to check out, which look really interesting to me! I also want to try out a look with the purples from this palette as well…they are especially great for brown eyes.
Anyways, I hope you all are enjoying the Holidays!!!!!

Today, the technologies related to the insurance sector are not as developed as other parts of the fintech market. The complexity of technology used within insurance sector lags behind the banking sector. However, that's not the only thing that's concerning the insurance sector. Today, the biggest worry in this sector is fraudulent claims and unlike any sector, the insurance sector is extremely vulnerable to this.
The below figure shows the revenue loss incurred due to fraudulent activities:
Process flow policy registration today:
As shown in the above figure once the customer enters his/ her details like age, past history with any chronic health issues etc., the insurance amount is calculated depending on the details entered.
As the proposal form moves through multiple hands there are cases where a fraudulent activity can take place, e.g. like a sales personal to up his percentage can forge your signature to broker an additional policy on behalf of the customer (in such cases the customer isn't aware of such transactions). There is a possibility of misinterpretation of information and possibility of identity theft
Use of Blockchain
Case 1: Policy upgrade and avoid customer embezzlement
During registration, the customer can enter his/ her details once the details are entered it can be digitally signed. Once the details are entered it can be encrypted and parked for review, once the successful review it and approve the transaction the amount can be directly debited from the customer's account which was mentioned during the registration. Once the transaction is successful the transaction is approved and moved to the block which is contains digital signature (hash cryptography) of the customer and the miner who has mined it. Thus making it a legitimate transaction and avoiding any fraudulent activity and data leakage, as any modification in the document from the one which was agreed by the customer would mean change in the hash sign.
While registering the any hereditary health issues, this will be helpful from the insurance company as few of the health issues kick in after a certain age, the customer can be insured on that particular diseases depending on the customer's approval.
There can also be an option of a wearable device, wherein the insurance company can track the health of the customer and provide an additional insurance service like a top up to his/ her existing service. For example, a customer, say was 25 years of age, when he registered for the policy. Once he crosses 45, few diseases related to heart or eyes may arise. The insurance company may choose to take a proactive measures to insure Bob on these diseases. The company can send a message to Bob, and once he approves the policy and digitally signs it, a new policy can be updated and put in a block with a reference to its earlier transaction. Alternatively, if Bob has an increase or decrease in his blood pressure (tracked by a wearable device), then the average he can be intimated about this and can be requested to top up his premium.
Case 2: Loyalty bonus
The insurance company based on the customers good track record, can issue bonuses or any loyalty programs to the customer. For example, a customer, Alice has a good track record with the insurance company. She makes payments on a regular basis with no defaults. She also has a family health plan with the same company. The insurance company can decide to give 25% off on her next payment.
Blockchain use: This can be achieved on this technology as the payments made by Alice would contain her unique key and by the use of smart contract, the system can identify this and also link to any parallel policies taken by her or referred by her (her reference would also contain her unique identifier)
Process flow policy claim today
When the customer initiates the claim process, there are two parts to it:
Part 1: If the hospital has a tie up with the insurance company
In this case, the majority of the work lies with the hospital as it submits the bills on the customer behalf to the insurer. Here the customer isn't aware what are parts which are covered by the insurer and which aren't. The customer is only notified at the end of term or once the cover funding runs out.
Part 2: If the hospital doesn't have a tie up with the insurance company
In this scenario, the customer has to pay first and claim later. This process is longer as compared to the 1st process where the hospitals are tied up with the insurer. Once the claim is submitted, it is passed through multiple hands and approvals which ends up delaying the actual claim process. Also, to add to the delay, there may be back and forth due to incomplete or missing documents. In the end, the amount is drastically reduced from the amount spent. This is conveyed to the customer only at the full and final settlement receipt. In such a scenario, the customer can also try to duplicate the claim.
Use of Block chain
Case 3: Proxy claim
Blockchain can be used as a platform where multiple insurers collaborate. The advantage here is that it can avoid the case where the insurer doesn't have a tie up with the hospital. For example, Bob is undergoing a treatment in hospital Eros and is covered with insurer Platinum . But the hospital doesn't have a tie up with Platinum but with another insurer Gold. In the above example let's assume that insurer Platinum and Gold collaborate using a Blockchain platform. Bob could advice the hospital to carry out the claim from Gold instead of Platinum.
The process would be as follows:
- Platinum and Gold will get into an agreement that their customers can carry out such proxy claims
- Gold becomes the proxy insurer for Bob
- Platinum and Gold exchange the customer details
- Bob is explained about the terms and conditions (and charges if any)
- Bob is also notified about the claims as and when it happens.
- All nodes with insurer Gold are updated
- A smart contract can kick in if the funds are about to dry out
- It can notify Bob whether or not he wants carry out the payment now or opt for an overdraft option.
- In the end once the treatment is completed, the two insurers can reconcile between them and nodes of insurers Gold and Platinum are updated.
The advantage of carrying this out on Blockchain is that the customer (Bob) would have transparency about his claim procedure and spending, and involvement of a third party would be avoided.
Case 4: Claim Process (updated)
This can be used for processing the claim from the insurer. The customer files for a claim, instead of a manual process of clarifying the bill amount spent against each procedure. The hospital and insurer can work out a common global code which can be used by smart contract and it will verify what's covered as part of the agreed policy and the claim can be processed in a shorter duration. Instead of using multiple documents for claim filing, the insurer can get the necessary (updated) customer details from the block and verify them against the claim.
In conclusion, Blockchain can help in securing the insurance industry and bring about a common platform (which's been missing) to help the insurance companies to communicate and transact with each other.

Brian Keith Terrell was put to death by lethal injection Wednesday at 12:52 a.m. after a nurse struggled for an hour to get IVs inserted into his arms. The execution came just hours after a sharply divided federal appeals court in Atlanta declined to stop his execution.
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
unanimously rejected Terrell's request for a stay of execution, but two of the three judges expressed frustration with Georgia's lethal-injection secrecy law. In denying Terrell's appeal, they said they had no choice but to join the majority opinion because of a precedent the court set in September when rejecting a challenge to the law.
One of the judges said a condemned inmate should not have to wait for "a botched execution, or other mishap," before being able to access information about the lethal-injection process.
Terrell was sentenced to death for the 1992 murder of John Watson. Seven weeks after being paroled from prison. Terrell shot and beat to death the 70-year-old Watson to prevent him from reporting to police that Terrell had forged Watson's signature on stolen checks. Shortly before being put to death, Terrell raised his head and said, "Didn't do it."
In Terrell's final appeals, his lawyers argued that Georgia's law that classifies the state's execution protocols as a state secret violated his due process rights, because it made it all but impossible to prove the procedure violates the Eighth Amendment's guarantee against cruel and unusual punishment.
On Tuesday, the 11th Circuit produced a 17-page opinion. It began with a brief explanation of why the stay was denied and was followed by three separate, concurring opinions by each of the three judges on panel.
Judge Stanley Marcus wrote that court precedent said there is no "broad right to know where, how and by whom the lethal-injection drugs will be manufactured, as well as the qualifications of the person or persons who will manufacture the drugs, and who will place the catheters." Marcus said he was bound by that precedent in rejecting the challenge.
Judges Beverly Martin and Adalberto Jordan, who also joined the unanimous opinion, both wrote that they believed the 11th Circuit wrongly decided prior challenges to the secrecy law.
"Of course, I recognize the state's need to obtain a reliable source for its lethal injection drugs," Martin wrote. "But there must be a way for Georgia to do this job without depriving Mr. Terrell and other condemned prisoners of any ability to subject the state's method of execution to meaningful adversarial testing before they are put to death."
A condemned inmate "cannot have received due process when he must wait for a botched execution, or other mishap, in order to get sufficient information" to mount an effective Eighth Amendment challenge, she said.
In its court filings, Georgia offered assurance that the drugs used to execute Terrell would work fine, but "Georgia's pleadings do not constitute evidence," Martin wrote. "Indeed, we have no reliable evidence by which to independently evaluate the safety and efficacy of the state of Georgia's secret drugs. For me, this raises serious due process concerns."
Surely, Martin added, "if we can protect grand jury proceedings and commercial trade secrets, we can come up with a process that protects the important interests of both Georgia and Mr. Terrell" as the state carries out a death sentence.
Jordan, in his concurrence, was brief and to the point. He said he continued to believe the 11th Circuit wrongly decided a challenge to Georgia's secrecy law in September.
That challenge was raised by lawyers for Gissendaner, who was executed Sept. 30. Hours before the execution, Jordan dissented to the court's decision that denied Gissendaner a stay of execution.
"Georgia can certainly choose, as a matter of state law, to keep much of
its execution protocol secret, but it cannot hide behind that veil of secrecy once something has gone demonstrably wrong with the compounded pentobarbital it has procured," Jordan wrote at the time.
"It is not asking too much to require Georgia to put on some evidence that will provide some level of confidence that its compounded pentobarbital is no longer a problem."
On Tuesday, Jordan said that because the court's decision in the Gissendaner case was binding precedent, he had to agree that Terrell's request for a stay should be denied.

Dover Street Market has commissioned Zaha Hadid to design a site-specific installation which is currently being showcased in their London store. The piece is entitled 'Aqua', with the concept referencing directly back to the formal language of Hadid's renowned London Aquatics Centre. The display will remain on site for the duration of the 2012 Olympic and the Paralympic Games.
The piece is displayed in the window, made up of several elements which flow to create one visual image which mimics the movement of a wave. Zaha Hadid commented: "Designing for Dover Street Market is an exciting opportunity to install a piece inspired by the fluid geometries of the London Aquatics Centre: a wave of liquid, frozen in time, right in the heart of London."

For this year's DGA Awards, voters chose to take their own path away from frontrunners in film and television. Unfortunately, that made it a very difficult year for prediction scores. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu ("Birdman") upset Richard Linklater ("Boyhood") as Best Film Director. TV winners included "Transparent" (comedy), "Homeland" (drama), "Olive Kitteridge" (movie/miniseries),and "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" (variety).
Three Experts tied our overall best score of 60%: Thom Geier, Jenelle Riley (Variety), and Anne Thompson (Thompson on Hollywood). Finishing next with 40% correct are Mike Cidoni (Associated Press) and Susan Wloszczyna (RogerEbert.com).
Next up at a 20% accuracy rate are Edward Douglas (Coming Soon), Kevin Polowy (Yahoo), Claudia Puig (USA Today), Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby), Sasha Stone (Awards Daily), and Peter Travers (Rolling Stone). Predicting none correct are Thelma Adams (Thelmadams.com), Tariq Khan (Fox News), and Tom O'Neil (Gold Derby).

…..south of Alaska, is at Fort Ross, just north of Jenner, California. It was originally built in the mid-1820s as part of the southern-most trading outpost for the Russian Empire in North America, who were there to trade with locals and natives.
Significant numbers of otters and other marine mammals were depleted in this time due to trade and the desirability of pelts, oil, and other materials.
The Fort had no resident priest, although at various times, including around 1836, a visiting Russian Orthodox priest would travel from Alaska so he could conduct marriages, baptisms, and say mass.
One such priest — Father Ioann Veniaminov — kept a journal describing his time at Ft. Ross, and he later became the Russian Orthodox bishop in Alaska, and canonized in the Russian Orthodox Church in 1977.
In 1906, a devastating earthquake struck the California coast and decimated the city of San Francisco. The original chapel was also destroyed in the earthquake, but it was rebuilt between 1916 and 1918.
The construction is entirely of wood, and very simple, with a tall cylindrical belfry. There is a small portable wooden altar upon a raised platform and with simple altar rails. Three icons decorate the sanctuary.

brief History of adobe brick
Adobe brick (or mud brick) building is an ancient building techniques that are popular in the Americas and the Middle East. The word adobe in Spanish is a derivation from Arabic word 'al-tob', which means brick. Moorish architecture are famed for their adobe building architecture, and some of their buildings that dated back 900 years ago are still being used these days. Adobe bricks are made of earth with a high content of clay and straw. If produced manually the earth mix is cast in open moulds onto the ground and then left to dry out. Adobe bricks are only sun-dried, and not kiln-fired. Its application in construction is fairly simple, they are laid up into a wall using an earth mortar. Before drying out, the finished walls are smoothed down. Often a clay render is applied as a surface coating. This type of construction are more commonly found in dry regions, such as South America, Mexico, Middle East and most parts of South Asia.
advantages of adobe brick
Apart from the simplicity of making and using it, there are many advantages of using adobe brick in construction.
- it uses natural and readily available material that can be found around you.
- adobe bricks are a fireproof, durable yet biodegradable, non-toxic building material which provide sufficient thermal mass to buildings to ensure excellent thermal performance.
- it has low sound transmission levels through walls and a general feeling of solidity and security.
- no costly tools or equipment are necessary and the essential know-how can be easily acquired on a training workshop and through hands-on experiences, or by a simple search on the Internet.
- risk of extensive shrinkage and cracking, which would otherwise occur in soils of high clay content in a large monolithic wall, is prevented, as the brick are dried totally before being use.
- it can be cast from a wider range of soils and can cope with a higher clay content and is suitable for in-situ techniques.
- due to the production process and the nature of clay, adobe bricks have good water resistance. nevertheless it is very important to provide adequate weather protection of the earth walls, especially in exposed situations.
- small Adobe units provide great flexibility in the design and construction of earth buildings. Adobe bricks can be easily cut for fitting and can be provided with holes for reinforcing and services.
- Many people find the pattern and texture of Adobe walls very attractive.
Making adobe brick
Adobe brick is a simple technology that requires only the mix of native soil, clay, sand and additional organic matter such as dried grass or straw. Desirable native soils for brickmaking are those classified as loamy sands, sandy loams, or sandy clay loams. There are three important points to remember about these soil descriptions:
- clay content shall not exceed 30 percent, or roughly one-third of the ingredients, and the major portion of each mix (never less than 50 percent) is sand.
- if you cannot classify the soil yourself, seek guidance from someone with soil classification experience.
- if you cannot classify the soil or get it classified, make a trial batch of bricks from your soil at least six months before you begin production for your building project.
Doing a soil test is a good idea to start making adobe brick. Fill a container about 2/3 full of soil. Add water until the jar is full, and stir it for about 2 minutes. Set the container down and let it sit overnight. When you check the content, the soil should be broken up into two distinct bands of dirt. The sand should be settled on the bottom with the clay on the top. There should be more sand than clay. A ratio of about 70 percent sand to 30 percent clay is ideal for making adobe brick. This kind of soil is usally available on the top or a side of a natural hill.
Making adobe brick is a simple yet effective technology. After identifying the soil to use, it is only a matter of mixing the soil with water and some fibres for strength. Mix the element on a waterproof tarp until the mixture turns doughy and mud-like. We trample the mixture, and then we add dried straw or hay. It is also common to dig a small square on the ground to do the mixing.The photo here shows the texture of our mix.
The next step is to mold the mixture into brick shape. We uses 2x4 wood to build a brick form. Cut two pieces to 5 feet in length. Cut the other 2x4s down to 14-inch lengths. Nail these to the 5-foot pieces every 10 inches to create a structure that looks like a ladder. Fill the inside of the form with the adobe mix, be sure to press it as hard as you can to squeeze out excessive liquid. Fill each form completely and level it off with a shovel. Let the brick set and then remove the form, repeat the process until you get your desired amount of brick.
The next step after molding the brick is to give it time. Leave the brick to dry without moving it. When the edges turn white, you may turn the brick on the other side to let it completely dry. It is important to leave the brick to dry completely as wet/moist brick will have less structural strength. Be patient as this process could take more than 3 weeks depending on your local climate and temperature. The adobe brick are ready to be utilize when it is completely dry and solid.
point to note on adobe brick
- Clay holds your bricks together just like the cement in a concrete block. It contains primarily an aluminum salt and is made up of extremely fine particles. There are several different kinds of clay, but you can use any one of them for making bricks.
- Straw, the third ingredient, doesn't add strength but binds a brick together and allows it to shrink without cracking.
- Emulsified asphalt, or construction lime powder can be added in the mix to make a waterproof adobe brick.
- It might take three or four tries to find the right dirt mixture, or you might stumble upon a working source of dirt the first time you look. Remember that you will need a large pile of dirt for a modest sized building.

Kirk Franklin Is Going Through Divorce, See Why
Yeah...it's true....that unfortunately, the only way I can get you guys to read what I have to say is to satisfy the thirst for tea that all of us including me have developed with social media pouring us a cup every freaking day.
But yes...the divorce is true, and real for a lot of us. And it's painful like divorces should be. It's the tearing away of things that have become dear, but not beneficial. Habits, ways, thought patterns, that we've developed for most of our lives. See, they didn't tell us that if you were negative before you became a Christian, you can still be one after you become a Christian. Whatever your old spouse is...lying, lust, fear, performing, that lover has to go. But leaving him/her won't be easy. You can speak in tongues till your lips look like powdered donuts, shout till that kitten heel breaks, if you don't renew your mind, clean your thinking, and have a crew of friends that check you and challenge you constantly, in love, you will love Jesus but never experience His power. It's hard.. every divorce is. But that old man is taking up space that God wants to build the new YOU in. It's a new year...sign them papers with me.
