The cutest couple ever… Anna and David were so stinking cute. We loved working with them, and helping make Anna's vision a reality. She knew she wanted a whimsical, romantic, and gorgeous wedding…but she didn't know how to make all that she had in her head come to life. Lucky for us, we got to be the ones to help make that happen. Their wedding was a beautiful one, full of their personality and story. It has continued to be one of our favorite weddings we've designed, and couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out. These florals are to die for!!
A huge thank you to Jessica Ann Photography for these sweet pictures!

That doesn't like shooting video!
How is that possible?
Anim8 Production Company is run by Neil Ben, and ex-BBC Producer / Director and yes it's true, Neil doesn't like shooting video.
But his company has won a business award for the Innovative way it helps businesses use video.
Again, how is that possible?
Simple really. Neil prefers to teach his clients how to shoot videos themselves, using their smartphone or tablet, through his coaching and training programmes.
One of the most popular schemes is his Local Hero Programme
How the 'Local Hero' coaching programme works
- Content is planned over several Skype conversations
Together we will create the perfect format for your videos as you develop the content
- A video branding pack is created for you from supplied artwork
This includes intro and outro sequences, call to action slides and logo watermarks
- Training takes place at your place of work
This usually lasts 5 – 6 hours, where you will be taught how to shoot you own videos
- Several videos will be shot during the training
The first few will be directed by Neil Ben, just to make sure the format works, then Neil will step back and support you while you shoot the next few on your own
- Videos will be professionally edited with branding and music
Adjustments to sound, colour and framing will also be done if required
- Approved videos will be uploaded to your preferred streaming platform
This could be YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, Amazon S3 or any other platform
- Additional videos will be shot by you and edited professionally
Five videos will be produced as part of the coaching package. Further editing packages can be purchased in advance in blocks of 5 to 20 videos
So what can you do if you're a local hero?
Once you know how to capture great footage with your phone, there are many different videos you can shoot that will make a massive difference to your business, including:
- Client testimonials
- Information videos
- Expert videos
- How to videos
- A welcome video
- Promotional videos
- Client stories
You will get all the training and support you need to shoot these videos, creating great quality footage that we will professionally edit.
And the good news is, as you are doing the filming yourself you only pay for the editing, which is a really cost effect way to get loads of great quality videos, and a much better option than hiring a "normal" video production company who shoots the videos for you.
The Local Hero Programme is awesome, but don't take my word for it. Listen to Duncan and Bernard from Believable Finance, who are creating amazing videos for their finance training membership site through the Local Hero Programme.

Kentuckians Challenged to Create "Pollinator Gardens"
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Monarch butterfly numbers have declined by 90 percent over 20 years, felled by pesticides, parasites and loss of habitat. They're considered a sentinel species, whose fate mirrors that of many insects.
Now, backers of a program to greatly expand all pollinators' range say it's about two-thirds of the way to its goal of establishing 1 million "pollinator gardens" by the end of the year. The National Pollinator Garden Network has registered 650,000 gardens across the U.S. designed to attract bees and butterflies.
Mary Phillips, senior director at the National Wildlife Federation's "Garden for Wildlife" program, said homeowners, businesses and cities are all planting flowers to benefit the pollinators.
"It's very small to very big. Some of these are creating tremendous acres of habitat and others are kind of connecting corridors across urban settings," Phillips said. "So both of those approaches are equally valuable."
Examples of pollinator-friendly plants include flowering bushes such as buckwheat, and host plants like milkweed. Phillips said vivid red and blue flowers with a bell shape are especially attractive to hummingbirds. Plants that have a long flowering season, from spring to fall, are ideal.
Kedar Narayan, a 9-year-old Pennsylvania boy, created a cell phone app - a game called "Pollinator for a Pet" - to teach people about native-plant pollinator gardens. He said kids have a big role to play in this effort.
"I see all the adults, they're doing their part, but I see potential in us kids to do our part too," Narayan said. "And together we can create a new ecosystem, one that will become the United States of Pollinators!"
According to the National Wildlife Federation, one-third of the food Americans eat is pollinated by bees, butterflies, moths, beetles and certain birds and bats - a cycle that accounts for $29 billion of the nation's food production.
You can register your pollinator garden at Poliinator.org

Jefferson City Police Arrest 34 People To Curb Heroin Drug Problem
Related Story
JEFFERSON CITY - The Jefferson City Police Department arrested 34 people, including a wanted federal fugitive in connection to what it calls a serious heroin problem.
The federal fugitive is Ben Scott Jr., wanted in St. Louis for federal drug trafficking charges. Those charges include possession and distributing narcotics as well as possession of illegal firearms.
This effort started after several suspected heroin overdoses in the area. Of those 34 arrests announced, five are suspected to be connected to those overdoses.They are James Jackson, Ben Scott Jr., Alicia Scott, Frank Collins, and Travis Davis. They are being held in the Cole County Jail.
Since another operation last spring, police say 60 arrests have had a connection to dealing heroin.

Solvatten is a household water treatment unit. The portable 11 liter container is a patented and scientifically proven Swedish invention. Put Solvatten in a sunny place, give it 2-6 hours and the water will be drinkable. An indicator shows when it is safe to drink. Solvatten can also be used as a solar water heater, providing hot water for cooking and hygiene.
Saving Lives
Clean water is essential for life, but one in eight of the world's population does not have access to it. As a result there are 1.6 million diarrhoeal deaths every year related to unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene – the vast majority among children under five. The UN Millennium Development Goals set out ambitious targets for urgent action to find solutions to these problems. Widespread use of Solvatten can contribute to the realization of seven out of eight of these goals. Let's get started!
Fueled by the Sun
Around half a billion people heat and treat their water by boiling it, using charcoal, kerosene or firewood. Solvatten is solar powered and can reduce use of these fuels. Once the unit is filled with water it is placed in the sun and the infrared and ultraviolet rays heat and treat the water. The hot water can be used immediately for hygiene and cooking, or cooled in the shade for drinking.

We conduct basic research in condensed matter theoretical physics from an ab initio point of view, i.e. working on the full degrees-of-freedom microscopical hamiltonian and without parameters to be adjusted on the experiment.
The methodology relies in particular on ab initio many-body quantum field theory (GW approximation, Bethe- Salpeter equation), but also on density-functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). Since the integration in 2013 of a theoretician from CRISMAT in the group, a many-body wavefunction activity around post-Hartree-Fock techniques is further developed with applications to strongly correlated sys- tems of interest for magnetic, multiferroic or magnéto-electric properties.
The global aim is from one side to analitically develop theory and approximations, and from another to imple- ment them into codes that are later used in numerical calculations on real systems and finally compared with the experiment. In particular, two ambitious and inovating activities, from analytic theories to code developments and applications to real-materials, have been initiated these last few years around (a) the writing of a massively- parallel Gaussian-basis GW and Bethe-Salpeter package for application to organic systems (the Fiesta initiative) and (b) the development of a "time-dependent Bethe-Salpeter" formalism for non-linear optics.
We focus in particular on electronic excited-state properties and spectroscopy (electronic structure, (super)con- ductivity, optical, X-ray and dielectric spectroscopy including excitons, plasmons, etc.), but also on ground-state structural and dynamical properties (atomic structure, phonons).
The systems range from molecules to nanotubes, from 2D systems (e.g. graphene et al.) to bulk solids of interest for electronic correlations, superconductivity, (non)linear optics or photovoltaics.
Important lines developed and opened in the last 5 years include :
superconductivity (BCS) in highly-doped diamond and silicon and 2D materials, in collaboration with the experi- mental "Grand Gap" and "MagSup" teams at NEEL ;
many-body theory for nonlinear optics, world first ab initio calculations of excitons in non-linear optics ;
many-body theory for organic and hybrid photovoltaics, pioneering role (FIESTA initiative) in adapting physics many-body quantum-field methodology to organic systems, in collaboration with the L_Sim-INAC@CEA. This ativity is detailed in a subsequent Scientific achievement ;
many-body theory for the momentum distribution, with focus on electronic correlation and in collaboration with the QMC group at LPMMC and the experimental IXS ID16 line at ESRF ;
post-Hartree Fock coupled-cluster studies of strongly correlated oxydes.

You Needn't Be a Victim of Allergy and Sinus Problems
You needn't be a victim of allergy and sinus problems that can include more than the usual sneezing and itchy nose, eyes and throat. Many people who have allergies have more compromising symptoms including fatigue, difficulty concentrating and lost productivity at work or school. About 80 to 90 percent of our patients report significant improvement of all of their symptoms.
If you have symptoms that aren't relieved or recurr after temporary relief, or you don't feel as if you have received the help you need, please schedule an appointment with specialists at UC Health. We'll apply our thorough diagnostic approach to your case, uncover the reasons for your discomfort and present solutions for your consideration. We are committed to finding the answers to your unique allergy and sinus situation, and providing exactly the care you need.
No Stone Unturned in Your Case
Our physicians are 'sinus detectives'. We leave no stone unturned in getting to the bottom of your allergy and sinus problems.
Our otolaryngologists (ENT physicians and surgeons) are specialty trained in all aspects of the structure and function of the nose and sinuses, including allergy and immunology, infectious diseases, cancer and noncancerous tumors, trauma and birth defects affecting the head and neck region. That means we're experts in both what affects you from the outside and what affects you from the inside ¾ your body's own structures. You're a complex being. Care at UC Health is focused on treating you as a whole, not just one isolated part of you.
Comprehensive, Whole Body Approach
At UC Health, our comprehensive, whole body approach involves the following steps ¾ all provided in one location for your convenience:
- A thorough patient history to learn about your past and current sinus difficulties. We ask you detailed questions about your environment and changes in your environment to identify clues about your condition. And we listen to you to make sure we understand your concerns.
- Complete examination of your head and neck to identify structural issues that cause or contribute to your sinus problems, including traumatic injuries, tumors and congenital (from birth) factors.
- Allergy evaluation including skin and/or blood testing. Not everyone's sinus problems are allergy related. And your allergies can change over time. We remove any allergy mystery with comprehensive testing.
- Taste and smell testing to evaluate problems with these senses.
- Breathing testing (spirometry) for asthma patients who have allergy and sinus issues.
- State-of-the-art medication options including prescription drugs, guidance with over-the-counter options, allergy shots and oral immunotherapy.
- Surgical options: We are often referred patients who have had surgery elsewhere and still have significant disease and require more complicated revision surgery. We're pleased to help those patients and those who are having surgery for the first time.
- Endoscopic sinus surgery with all of the latest minimally invasive technology, including 3-D image guidance.
- Balloon sinuplasty, a less-invasive procedure that effectively relieves symptoms of chronic sinusitis in many patients with less severe disease but persistent pressure, pain and obstruction. We've performed about 100 of these newer procedures, including some in-office.
- Easy, seamless access to other specialists, including our dermatologists, pulmonologists (lungs) and now even complementary and alternative medicine practitioners to help address all of your needs.
Everything That's Current and Proven
ENT sinus and allergy specialists at UC Health have an average of more than 20 years of experience each. Because UC Health is associated with a major university, we conduct innovative research, publish research findings to share with others in medicine and teach the next generation of physicians. This means we are on the cutting edge of the field and offer you everything that's current and proven in sinus and allergy care.

Relations with his national association remain strained, but Dundee boss Alan Kernaghan has still promised goalkeeper Kelvin Jack he will do everything he can to help his chances of appearing in next summer's World Cup Finals for Trinidad and Tobago.
The fall-out from Jack's late return after the play-off win over Bahrain earlier this month looks set to continue after the Dark Blues only received what they felt was a half-hearted apology from the Trinidad FA.
The Caribbean islanders have expressed regret Jack did not make it back for the league visit to Ross County on November 19, but there has been no acceptance they were wrong to insist he travelled from the Middle East for qualification celebrations in Port of Spain.
Dundee are pursuing the matter through the SFA and FIFA, though Alan accepts the main priority now is making sure that future international stints end with Jack back in the City of Discovery in plenty of time for his next club game.
All at Dens, though, remain keen to see the big goalie represent his country in their first-ever finals appearance next June.
"We don't want to do anything that would jeopardise Kelvin's chances of playing, but we are still pursuing this because we don't want it happening again," said Alan.
"I realise that between now and the end of the season there will probably be warm-up games they will want him to play in — and he should if it is possible — but I will have to marry that with the concerns of Dundee Football Club. What it should come down to, I feel, is that competitive games should have priority and everything must be done to make sure he is available for us, because we are, after all, the ones who pay his wages."
Jack did not train yesterday after feeling the knee he injured while on international duty in October, but the problem will not prevent him being on duty at Stranraer on Saturday. With Derek Soutar as much as a month away from fitness after his knee op., that is good news for the manager.
Already ruled out for the trip to the south-west are Stuart McCluskey and Stephen McNally. The experienced McCluskey is at least building up his fitness after Achilles tendon problems, but there is concern over McNally's latest bout of back trouble.
A specialist has ordered a bone scan and, although he has been able to join in with the squad in training, Dundee won't be risking the right-sided defender in a game situation until he is given the all clear.
Gavin Swankie is back at work after missing the win over Brechin because of illness.

The East - Tom La Marche
Tom La Marche and I decided to film a video a few years ago that never saw the light of day. This footage was shot in the spring of 2012 in Philadelphia and Toronto and wasn't edited until recently. This was originally intended to be the second video in The East series but due to life getting in the way that didn't happen until now. I hope that this acts now as a little bit of a time capsule of what riding was like a few short years ago and how the scene and sport have changed. Who knows this might be Tom's last fixed gear edit ever.

I dye all of the eco-friendly, minimally processed American wool yarn that I offer in our shop using natural dyes. I create my dyebaths from a variety of plant materials that I gather myself from both our own property and surrounding areas in addition to natural dye extracts. I love the natural dye process! It's slow and contemplative and yields the most amazing palette of colors. Shop updates happen about once a month. Be sure to subscribe so you won't miss out when I re-stock!
(Hopi red dye amaranth, tickseed sunflower, logwood, black walnuts, and goldenrod were used to dye these skeins)

Sprint, Clearwire to cooperate on nationwide WiMax networkBy Jose Vilches
Sprint Nextel and Clearwire, two of the largest wireless broadband carriers in the world, announced plans on Thursday to combine their efforts to create a US nationwide WiMax network, and expect to reach 100 million people by the end of 2008.
Until the agreement was announced, both companies had aggressive plans to invest into competing nationwide networks. By combining their resources the two companies are limiting their exposure with a technology that's not been tested on a similar scale anywhere. Clearwire will not only avoid head-to-head competition with the much larger Sprint, but will gain access to a broader network too.
Both companies will independently install and light up infrastructure in selected territories, but they'll enable roaming between territories and share infrastructure to save money. Sprint will focus on the larger urban centers, covering areas with about 185 million people, while Clearwire will focus more on smaller cities along with suburban and rural areas.
The WiMAX network is being designed to deliver mobile broadband services in urban, suburban and rural markets, and enable significantly greater depth and breadth of services. The arrangement also is expected to enable each company to increase capital efficiency and reduce overall network development and operating costs.
Large companies such as Intel and Motorola have been big backers of WiMax. Intel is reportedly planning to embed the technology into its chips by the end of 2008, while Motorola has also hinted WiMax enabled phones could arrive next year.
Clearwire already delivers WiMax service to 258,000 customers in 39 US markets. Nevertheless, this deal could represent an important boost to take WiMax mainstream.

"Now we're licking frosting from our own hands," figures prominently in the Kidz Bop version of which of these songs?
No song with "cake" in the title would be complete without a lyric about frosting. DNCE's "Cake By The Ocean" is no exception, but we're not sure exactly why this one was changed. The original tune says, "See you licking frosting from your own hands."

Mises Wire
The Last Knight in Russia
May 24th, 2013 will remain in the annals of the Circle Bastiat as an infamous day of self-promotion. There is indeed a second publication which yours truly is most happy to announce: the Russian edition of the Last Knight of Liberalism: Последний рыцарь либерализма: Биография Людвига фон Мизеса (Chelyabinsk: Социум, 2013), 893 pp. Translated by Alexander Kuryaev, Tatiana Danilova, Elena Vasilyeva, Marina Oborina, Yuri Nurmeev, Vasily Koshkin, and Natalia Avtonomova.
My Bielorussian doctoral student, Olga Peniaz, sent me the picture of the book-cover, which seems to be identical with the Amercian edition except for the Cyrillic letters. How truly astonishing that the first translation of this book (and possibly the only one ever) has been made for those very people who arguably suffered most under the ideas of statism and socialism, which the great Ludwig von Mises opposed so fiercely during all his life. My special thanks go to the wonderful persons who have made this edition possible, especially to the sponsors, and to the translator team coordinated by Alexander Kuryaev, who also made a book presentation on May 18th (watch the video as from about 1h30). God bless you, and I hope to meet you all in person one day.

53 Super Facts for Your Super Bowl Party
Want to be the smartest person in the room at this year's Super Bowl party? Bust out a few of these fun facts about Big Games past.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Super Bowl Sunday is America's "second-largest food consumption day." (Only Thanksgiving Day beats it.)
A persistent rumor says that sewage systems in major cities occasionally fail during Super Bowl halftimes, because a large volume of people supposedly all flush their toilets simultaneously. Don't worry! There's absolutely no evidence to support this claim.
Peyton Manning is the only starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl with two different teams: the Indianapolis Colts in 2007 and the Denver Broncos in 2016.
Phil Simms was paid $75,000 to shout "I'm going to Disney World" on the field moments after his Giants won Super Bowl XXI. Disney also paid Denver's John Elway the same amount of money to yell the same thing—just in case his team won.
The Pittsburgh Steelers hold the record for most Super Bowl wins, having captured six Vince Lombardi Trophies. The San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, and New England Patriots have each won five.
Which team has lost the most? That would be a tie between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots, who've each dropped five Super Bowl matchups.
A 2014 Change.org petition to "Have Weird Al Yankovic Headline the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show" received more than 100,000 signatures.
The priciest tickets to Super Bowl I, which was played on January 15, 1967, cost $12. Adjusted for inflation, that's the equivalent of about $89 today. And even at that bargain price, the event still didn't sell out. If you're thinking about buying tickets for this year's event, you'd better be prepared to shell out at least $2300 per ticket (at press time).
In 1980, the Pittsburgh Steelers were the first Super Bowl-winning team to visit the White House. They visited with Jimmy Carter in a joint ceremony with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who had won the 1979 World Series.
When Jacksonville, Florida, hosted Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005, the city didn't have enough hotel rooms to meet the NFL's requirements. So in their bid to serve as the Big Game's host, they had to recruit five docked cruise ships as "floating hotels" for the event.
Maryland sports fans must have really hated the Big Apple in 1969. On January 12 of that year, the New York Jets upset the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. Nine months later, the New York Mets prevailed over the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles in the '69 World Series.
The Super Bowl I halftime show consisted of two marching bands, acclaimed trumpeter Al Hirt, two men in jet packs, and 300 pigeons.
Western Pennsylvania is quarterback country. Six Hall of Fame QBs hail from this region, five of whom (Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, and Jim Kelly) played in at least one Super Bowl each as quarterbacks. The sixth, George Blanda, competed as a placekicker in Super Bowl II.
In odd-numbered Super Bowls, the NFC team is the designated "home" team while AFC teams enjoy that honor during the even-numbered Super Bowls.
In 1983, 105.97 million people tuned in to the final episode of M*A*S*H, making it the most-watched TV broadcast in American history. It took more than a quarter-century, but in February 2010, Super Bowl XLIV finally broke that record when 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts. Subsequent Super Bowls have broken even that record, with Super Bowl XLIX—which was played on February 1, 2015—currently holding the top spot, with 114.4 million viewers on average.
In Las Vegas, more than $115 million is (legally) bet on the Super Bowl every year.
Although the Baltimore Colts beat Dallas in Super Bowl V in 1971, Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley was named the game's MVP. He's the only player in history to earn this honor as a member of the losing team.
The Vince Lombardi Trophies—a new one of which is handed out every year—are made by Tiffany & Co. out of sterling silver.
A power outage at New Orleans's Superdome put Super Bowl XLVII on hold for 34 minutes.
A fresh layer of high-quality, natural sod is installed on the field prior to each Super Bowl played on natural grass. For Super Bowl 50, the company West Coast Turf harvested 75,000 square feet of premium grass on the NFL's behalf.
In 2008, then-Boston Mayor Thomas Menino lost a high-stakes bet to his Gotham counterpart when the Giants upset the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Because of New England's defeat, Menino had to send a truckload of Massachusetts delicacies—including 42 pounds of Dunkin' Donuts coffee (because it was the 42nd Super Bowl) and 12 dozen Boston cream pies (a reference to Tom Brady's number)—to New York City, where the food was donated to charity.
A few days before Super Bowl XX in 1986, Bears QB Jim McMahon mooned a TV news helicopter that was flying over one of Chicago's practice sessions.
There has never been a shutout in the Super Bowl. The Miami Dolphins hold the record for fewest points scored in a Super Bowl; in 1972, they lost to Dallas, 24-3.
Super Bowl LI was the first one to ever go into overtime. The Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons 34-28.
Super Bowl XLV was the first one in history that didn't include cheerleaders. That's because neither of the game's participating teams—the Pittsburgh Steelers nor the Green Bay Packers—has a professional cheerleading squad.
Cleveland is the only current NFL city that has neither hosted a Super Bowl nor seen its own team, the Browns, make an appearance in one.
During Super Bowl I in 1967, NBC was still in commercial when the second half kicked off. Officials asked the Packers to kick off again.
The 1989 Super Bowl halftime show was broadcast in 3D (a novelty for the time). In it, a magician dressed like Elvis Presley ("Elvis Presto") had the entire stadium participate in a round of the classic "Is this your card?" trick.
Another unusual spectacle was the 1977 Super Bowl pre-game show, which included a Frisbee-catching dog named Ashley Whippet.
Springfield's resident wunderkind really knows her football. In an episode of The Simpsons which aired on January 23, 1992, Lisa correctly guessed that Washington would beat Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVI, which was played three days later.
No sitting president has ever attended a Super Bowl. However, four sitting vice presidents—Spiro Agnew, George H.W. Bush, Al Gore, and Mike Pence—have made Big Game appearances.
From 1985 to 1997, the NFC won 13 straight Super Bowls. During that streak, the NFC clubs outscored their AFC opponents by a cumulative score of 490-219.
While celebrating the Giants' Super Bowl XXI victory with President Reagan at the White House, linebacker Harry Carson emptied a Gatorade tub of popcorn over the Gipper's head.
On San Francisco's Super Bowl XXIII game-winning drive in 1989, Joe Montana saw a celebrity spectator; in mid-huddle, he nonchalantly asked his teammates, "Hey, isn't that John Candy over there?"
On Super Bowl Media Day in 2000, a reporter asked Titans defensive tackle Joe Salave'a, "What's your relationship with the football?" He replied: "I'd say it's strictly platonic."
Back-to-back Super Bowl victories aren't as rare as you might think. The Packers, Dolphins, 49ers, Cowboys, Broncos, Patriots, and Steelers have all pulled off this feat. In fact, Pittsburgh has won back-to-back Super Bowls on two separate occasions.
The Wonder Years, Family Guy, and Undercover Boss all premiered immediately after the Super Bowl.
The 1985 Bears recorded a hit rap song called "Super Bowl Shuffle," which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm and Blues Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. (It lost to Prince & the Revolution's "Kiss.")
Joe Montana not only emerged victorious from all four of his Super Bowl appearances, he did it without throwing a single interception in any of those games.
Just before the second-half kickoff in the 2004 Super Bowl, a man disguised as a referee stripped down to a G-string and streaked across the field. Patriots linebacker Matt Chatham was able to knock him to the ground, enabling security to apprehend the hooligan.
In 2010, Super Bowl XLIV featured an unusual piece of memorabilia: The coin that was flipped right before the game had previously spent 11 days orbiting the Earth on a NASA space mission.
For the past several years, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, has hosted an annual Otter Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday, where a group of these adorable mammals play around with a football while a staffer narrates the action. The event is not taking place in 2019, though. The halting of the popular game is so that the aquarium and its visitors can pay tribute to Brook, a popular sea otter resident who recently passed away following a diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Brook was 21 years old.
The New England Patriots' Tom Brady has currently won five Super Bowls, more than any other starting quarterback. Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana won four apiece.
The very first Super Bowl touchdown was scored in 1967 by Packers wide receiver Max McGee (who was hungover at the time).
Super Bowl bonuses are a thing. In 2017, every player on the Pats' championship roster earned $107,000 for winning. The defeated Falcons received $53,000 each as a consolation prize.
Two colleges have produced three Super Bowl-winning starting quarterbacks: the University of Alabama (Bart Starr, Joe Namath, and Ken Stabler) and Purdue University (Len Dawson, Bob Griese, and Drew Brees).
The event we now call the "Super Bowl" originally went by a duller name: "The AFL-NFL World Championship Game." Although "Super Bowl" has been used unofficially since the very first game, the term wasn't officially recognized by the league until a few years later, with the name first appearing on the cover of the program in 1969 and on the ticket in 1970.
In 2013, 40 years after winning Super Bowl VII, the famous perfect-season Miami Dolphins were invited to the White House by Barack Obama.
As Don Shula was being carried off the field after the Dolphins' Super Bowl win in 1973, a fan reached up to shake his hand—and stole his watch.
During the 1995-1996 season, some proxy servers blocked the Super Bowl website because it was Super Bowl XXX.
Hunter S. Thompson covered Super Bowls VII and VIII for Rolling Stone.
In 1993, Michael Jackson's halftime performance had higher ratings than the game itself.
In 2017, Tom Brady became the second oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl at age 39—he beat John Elway, who won one at age 38 in 1999, but was just short of Peyton Manning's 2016 record. Manning was 134 days older for his final win than Brady was for his (though, if the Patriots beat the Rams at Super Bowl LIII, Brady's 41 years will make him the oldest quarterback to win).

In four short days everything will change. My son will walk through the student entrance of his new high school a gawky freshman and emerge a graduating senior in only four short years.
I don't know how we got here so fast. I didn't intend to speed through this parenting road trip. It feels as though the moment the gas light came on, elementary school was left in the dust. A quick glance in the rear view mirror and middle school has disappeared from sight.
But just because those middle school miles passed quickly, doesn't mean the drive was easy. White-knuckling that tricky tween terrain taught us a few valuable secrets of middle school success. So listen up and listen good, because those miles stuck in the middle don't have to suck — for either of you. [read more…]

With sales of fishing tags on the seasonal wane and those for hunting on the cusp of their seasonal commencement, the Ohio Division of Wildlife is reporting increased license sales of nearly all types.
The net result is an infusion of money into the agency's Wildlife Fund to the tune of $814,824 in additional revenue over the to-date 2015 ledger entry.
The tally of resident annual fishing sold to-date this year numbers 583,353 while the same 2015 to-date resident fishing license sales figure was 553,739 for a 5.35 percent increase. In all, for 2015 the Wildlife Division sold 635,732 resident fishing licenses.
The increase, says one Wildlife Division official says, is largely tied with a bow directly to the fisheries gift offered by Lake Erie to its anglers though the state's inland fisheries are pretty darn good, too.
"Weather and the quality of Lake Erie fishing have always been important factors associated with good fishing license sales," says Scott Hale, one of two agency assistant chiefs.
"Good weather patterns are certain to influence participation in our numerous inland lakes, rivers and streams, and the Ohio River, as well."
Up, too, so far this year is the number of non-resident annual fishing licenses. The to-date figure for these licenses stands at 34,166 whereas for the same period in 2015 the number was 31,916 for a 7.05 percent increase. Last year the Wildlife Division sold a total of 36,390 non-resident annual fishing licenses; an obvious indicator that such tag sales have crested and have begun to seasonally recede.
Increased also are sales of the state's one-day resident, one-day non-resident and three-day fishing licenses. For the first category the number rose from 3,626 one-day resident fishing licenses to 4,310 for a gain of 18.86 percent. In 2015 the Wildlife Division sold 10,667 of these permits.
As for the one-day non-resident fishing licenses those tags climbed from the 17,602 figure in 2015 to the to-date number of 18,706 for a gain of 6.27 percent. Last year the Wildlife Division issued 29,549 such permits.
"One-day fishing license sales are very much weather dependant," said Wildlife Division communications spokesman, John Windau. "Often buying one is a last-minute decision."
Three-day license sales also rose, though statistically by a rather insignificant number: from a to-date 2015 number of 19,144 to 19,636 thus far and for a paltry gain of just 2.57 percent. In 2015 the Wildlife Division sold 26,737 such tags.
Up as well, though of only tiny significance, have been sales of the so-called one-day resident Lake Erie charter fishing licenses. To-date last year just 720 of these licenses were issued compared to 734 such permits sold to-date this year. Just 1,684 of these licenses were sold.
In terms of fishing license sales the only category to experience a drop was that for the one-day non-resident Lake Erie charter tags. Here the to-date number fell from 7,370 to 7,352; or hardly a dent in the to-date total. Last year the Wildlife Division sold 11,649 of these tags.
What all of this means in the way of additional to-date fishing license-related sales revenue is that to-date in 2015 the Wildlife Division collected close to $13.5 million whereas so far this year the agency has seen fishing license sales receipts totaling around $14.1 million; a 4.93-percent increase. For all of 2015 the Wildlife Division sold nearly $15.4 million worth of fishing licenses of all kinds, said Andy Burt, the Wildlife Division's licensing coordinator.
Though hunting license sales typically and always take a back seat to sales of their fishing tag counterparts, there is always an uptick the closer the season arrive. And with such early seasons as those for teal, Canada geese and squirrel sales activity the various hunting permits will begin to rise shortly.
As it now stands the to-date number of resident general hunting licenses is positioned at 59,230 such documents compared to its comparable 2015 number of 58,505 such tags for a 1.24 percent rise. Last year the Wildlife Division sold 267,636 resident general hunting licenses.
Up even higher on a percentage basis – 9.3 percent, in fact – are the reduced-cost general hunting licenses sold to resident senior citizens age 66 and older and who are not eligible for free general resident hunting license. The to-date figure for this class of tags is 10,375 compared to its 2015 counterpart of 9,492. Last year the state issued 24,528 of these licenses.
There is little reason to put much stock yet in the number of general non-resident hunting licenses having been sold. The to-date number for both last year and this year are equally small when stacked up against the final total. Last year the to-date number for this category was 3,514 while this year's to-date figure is 3,768. Last year the Wildlife Division sold 39,361 such licenses.
Without belaboring the actual figures due to their small to-date numbers and relevance are the two youth-only licenses (youth apprentice and youth hunting) as well as the general apprentice license sales. All show declines in their to-date sales but by very small percentages with equally small total figures when lined up against their respective final 2015 numbers.
Down too are the to-date figures for nearly all sales categories of deer-hunting tags. However, in some cases – such as the sale of general resident antlerless-only permits - the to-date numbers provided by the Wildlife Division are in the low triple-digit range when the agency actually sells tags totaling in the upper five-figure and even six-figure range.
Much the same applies to more than one-half of the sales of the various fall-only wild turkey hunting tags and nearly all of the various trapping permits.
Up, though, were the sales of this past season's various spring wild turkey hunting licenses. The number of resident (adult) spring turkey hunting tag issued in 2015 was 41,395; a figure which crept up to 41,876 this year.
This rising tide of spring turkey permits helped float those sold as resident reduced cost (senior citizen) spring turkey-hunting tags along with non-resident adult spring turkey hunting tags, and youth-only spring turkey-hunting licenses.
"Part of the reason, again, was good weather during the spring turkey season, but we hope that trend continues as we move into fall," Hale says also.
In the run-up to the typical push by hunters to buy their various licenses, tags and permits the Wildlife Division has to date sold slightly more than $1.8 million worth of general hunting licenses. In 2015 that to-date figure was just under $1.8 million, so the figures are very comparable, agency officials say.
Both figures are likewise small and reflect that the Wildlife Division isn't even close to selling anywhere near the number of general hunting licenses that sportsmen typically buy. In 2015 the agency sold nearly $11 million worth of general hunting licenses.
The same goes for income raised through the sale of deer tags. Last year at this time the agency sold $77,754 worth of deer-hunting permits while $76,797 worth of such licenses have been sold thus far in 2016.
However, both figures are dwarfed by the total dollar amount the Wildlife Division raised via deer-hunting tags last year; a reflection that hunters wait until much closer to the season - and throughout the season - before buying their required documents. Last year the Wildlife Division sold about $9.6 million worth of deer tags.
Perhaps reflecting an increase interest in shooting rifles and handguns the Wildlife Division is seeing a substantial increase in the number of shooting range permits the agency sells.
The to-date figure for sales of the Wildlife Division's one-day shooting range permit has grown 25.64 percent; from the 11,636 such permits sold to-date in 2015 to 14,620 thus far in 2016. Last year the agency issued 35,129 such permits.
Likewise the sale of annual range permits has climbed; this figure by 14.16 percent. To-date in 2015 the number of annual tags was 7,668 whereas its 2016 counterpart is 8,754. In 2016 the Wildlife Division sold 9,894 annual range permits.
Not surprisingly then the income generated by range permit sales has risen, too; up 15.4-percent thus far alone – from $250,447 to-date in 2015 to $289,022 to-date this year. Last year the Wildlife Division sold $413,101 worth of range permits, Burt said.
"There certainly is a lot of interest in firearms, and people wondering where they can shoot," Windau said. "That's particularly true if the person is unfamiliar with where to become a member of a sportsman's or gun club."
Certainly pleasing to the Wildlife Division has been sales of its official periodical "Wild Ohio" magazine. This is particularly true for the sales associated with persons buying or have bought either a hunting license or a fishing license. Instead of the usual $10 annual subscription price persons who buy or hold either a fishing license or a hunting license can also purchase an annual "Wild Ohio" subscription for $5.
In 2015 the to-date number of such $5 reduced cost subscriptions stood at 5,592. To date this year those sales are 8,445; a number which represents more subscriptions sold than for all of 2015 – 7,909 to be exact.
"We're pleased that 'Wild Ohio' magazine sales have also increased compared to last year," Hale said.
Still, "Wild Ohio" subscriptions for those persons who have not purchased a fishing or hunting license is $10 annually; and sales here have plummeted by nearly 37 percent, though actual paid subscriptions are small. Last year to-date the Wildlife Division sold 411 of the $10 annual subscriptions. To-date this year that figure stands at 563. For all of 2015 the Wildlife Division sold 852 "Wild Ohio" annual subscriptions at the $10 rate.
"We're in the fourth year of paid circulation but it's not really very expensive nor difficult to sign up for; most subscribers sigh-up when they buy a fishing of hunting license," Windau said. "No question, more people are becoming aware of the magazine."
Also, the to-date sale of the $15 Legacy stamps has risen: from 1,247 in 2015 to 1,612 to-date this year. In 2015 the Wildlife Division sold 2,270 Legacy stamps.
For $15 a Legacy stamp buyer gets a copy of the collector stamp, a "window cling" associated with the stamp program, and a commemorative card. Money raised via this program goes into the agency's Endangered Species and Wildlife Diversity Fund.Combining the sale of both "Wild Ohio" magazine subscriptions and Legacy stamps and the Wildlife Division has collected $79,399 to-date this year versus $57,085 to-date in 2015. For all of last year the Wildlife Division sold $101,573 worth of "Wild Ohio" subscriptions and Legacy stamps, Burt said.

The doors are very kind, but don't make them angry. They could lose their temper resulting in a very noisy bang.
This library enriches the sfx world with new door and gate objects, both source and designed, with variety of expressive actions and perspectives. The everyday usual noises along with fantasy stimulating sounds – e.g. deep "dungeon" metal door, high pitch squeaking wire-netting gate, heavy church gate and so on. To make the slams and smashes even more hard, heavy and dirty, wildly designed "Angry" versions have been added.
Library highlight:
• 18 door and gate objects, recorded in old, gloomy houses and a church
• 6.29 GB, 645 files, several takes for each action
• "Close-Up", "Near", "Middle" and "Behind" perspectives in selected cases, plus mix of them
• 192khz/24 bit including ultrasonic information- the greatest resolution for next design processes
• Sound Devices MixPre6, Sanken CO100K, Sennheiser MKH30, DPA 4007, DPA 4060, Schertler Dyn Uni P48
• Photo reference for each object
This bundle was built with 5 different sound libraries.
Experience the sound of the honey bees' hive. All files were recorded outside the town, far away from the roads to capture the clean sound of hard working bees. 14 stereo files were recorded with Sound Devices 702, Sony PCM-M10 recorder, two DPA 4061 microphones hidden inside a hive and two Sennheiser MKH 8040 to capture the ambient in front of the hive. Every stereo AB interior recording can be split to mono to isolate the single buzzes. Recording those sounds was one of my dreams as a field recordist. I always wanted to hear the interior sound of a hive. This session wasn't the easy one, because of my strong allergic reaction to bees, but thanks to a proper clothes and suit, I was able to walk through the bees for 2 hours without any harm. My main goal was to capture different sounds, not only the ambients but also some close ones, like the sound of the bees landing on their landing zone or just the interior sound of the hive. The overall character of the sound really depends on the time of the year and time of the day. I had a chance to record those insects before the feeding time. They were hungry and really active. The total length of recorded files is 44 minutes.
The Cat – Meow Library features 130 files ( 51 192kHz, 79 96kHz ) recorded with Sennheiser 8040 / Rode NTG3 and Sony PCM-D100. This small bundle contains different sound effects made by two very vocal cats. From subtle squeaks and digging in litter box, through eating and purrs to loud meows.
The Cormorants sound library was recorded during 4 recording sessions spread through the course of two months. As you can hear in the preview file, the sounds of cormorants are really detailed, because of the super close perspective. In some cases, cormorants were literally walking on my DPA microphones. All files were recorded in 96kHz and 24bits with equipment like: Sound Devices 702, Sony PCM-M10, Rode NTG3, two Oktavas MK012 with different adapters and capsules and two DPA 4061. When it comes to the usability of this library, I think that it's a great source material for designing sound for different creatures. The textures of nestling recordings are perfect to start designing sounds of small out of the world animals. Some of the files also contain seagulls, which unfortunately are a part of cormorants colonies. The amount of those 'unwanted' sound effects in my files is really low though, and some of them were left on purpose. Even though it's all about cormorants, the single squeaks those seagulls can make are really great. This library contains 32 files with total length of 119 minutes.
The Eurasian Cranes sound library was so far the hardest to record. Eurasian cranes, also called common cranes are beautiful and really easy to scare big birds. This library features the sound of more than 1000 birds singing their song at the same time. If you'r not familiar with those birds, here's a link to wikipedia. I finally got a chance to record them. It wasn't my first attempt. More than one year ago I've tried to do the same thing, but because of the lack of experience, I've ended up with bad recordings. I did not wanted to repeat my mistakes, so I've spent the whole night in the wild, testing my gear and patience, got bit by mosquitoes to record those animals. You can hear the results in the preview. All sounds have HPF set to cut out anything below 100Hz, because of the trains passing by from time to time somewhere in the distance. It doesn't affect the sound of the cranes since there's no informations in the lows. When it comes to recording wild animals, you have to accept and take whatever you've been given. It was impossible for me to come closer to those birds, or avoid the sound of wind going through the reed, because few more steps would scare the birds. All the files were recorded with Sound Devices 702 and two Oktavas MK012 set into ORTF. All the hardware was set in the reed in deep mud, and cranes were standing about 40m away.
The Roaring Stags contains 45 files recorded with Sound Devices 702, two Oktavas MK012 set in XY pattern, and Rode NTG3. All files sounds different, because I was recording everything in the middle of the forest during different times of the day. Recording wild animals is not something you can plan, and I had to record whatever I could, no matter what was happening around. About 90% of the files were deleted, and this 65 minutes of audio is 10% I got left with. In this sound library you'll find reverberant sounds and ones that has less of the reverb. The distance between me and stags was changing, and that's the reason of different amount of reverb. Also the animals were constantly moving, and sometimes they turned in completely opposite direction, so roars sounded more distant. Sometimes between roars you'll hear subtle sounds of me moving close to microphones. I left those sounds so anyone can make cuts in desired places, but those subtle sounds happens very rarely.
This Hard Drive SFX library delivers the sounds of severely mistreated hard drives. We hit hard drives with hammers, drilled holes in them, bent them and inserted objects into them before turning them on. Power ups, shut downs, grinding, screeching, whines, and rattling are just a few of the sounds you'll find here. Great source material for sound design and heavy processing.

Featuring sounds taken from lo-fi instrumental recordings, harsh noise experiments and granular synthesis explorations, Atmosfear is a gritty soundscape collection geared towards the horror genre. With a distinctly unpolished production style to bring a rough edge to your scenario, these sounds can be used to invoke feelings of suspense, dread, tension, fear and doom into your characters and environments.
What does an industrial scale torture chamber in an abandoned asylum sound like? What about a high-voltage electrical possession? Find the answer to these questions and more with Atmosfear. Enter if you dare.
Breathe fear and awe into your work with Atmospheric Dread, carefully designed and ever-evolving drones, intertwined with swelling textures.
Inspired by the sound of films such as Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Interstellar, Alien: Covenant, Prometheus, and more, I've created a new Drone library, all whilst listening to the feedback from Aberrant Drones users, and reviewers.
I've not only worked on improving the quality of the soundscapes further, but I've also broken down files into more manageable chunks, up to around 6 minutes long, and brutally cut out whatever did not feel like it should go in the library.
As a result, Atmospheric Dread is a smaller library, at least compared to the massive Aberrant Drones, whilst delivering 63 minutes of gut-wrenching, eye-widening, and fear-inducing soundscapes.
The library is comprised of 24bit/96kHz .WAV files, all stuffed to the brim with rich, and descriptive SoundMiner metadata, thus allowing you to find what you need immediately.
The eerie sound of wind resonating through wires, fences and abandoned buildings.
Recorded using the JrF C-Series contact microphone, these recordings capture the metallic resonance of wind with natural ebbs and flows.
All sounds were recorded using the JrF C-Series contact microphone stereo pair and Sound Devices Mix-Pre 6.
Frustration. You've spent hours on a project, only to end up with a sound scape that feels incomplete. The action scene feels empty, the weapons don't sound heavy enough, the transitions don't pack enough of a punch, the space ship doesn't feel large enough and the monsters aren't sufficiently scary.
The Augmentation Elements library has been built with this problem in mind. Due to the library's abstract nature, the Risers, Stings, Swells and Whooshes can be molded and manipulated into adding that missing element that you're looking for, and sweetening the whole mix.
In order to save you time and help you quickly find the sounds that you need, SoundMiner metadata has been carefully created for each individual file. There are no 'Scream, 1' and 'Scream, 2' in this library! Every single file is individually described, and the use of numbers is not employed!
Have a look at the metadata list further down the page!
Now, Your futuristic energy weapons don't sound full enough? Try layering some of the stings and swells underneath them.
That large space ship doesn't seem large enough? Grab some whooshes and pan them to your heart's delight.
The alien doesn't sound scary enough? Some of the stings sound eerily close to vocalizations. Grab them and run wild.
Are crucial transitions in your film lacking punch? Drag some of those risers into your DAW and see which one fits best!
Need to create suspense, tension and movement in your production? AXmos Cinematic Guitars is great for you.
Atmospheric elements, crazy chords, impacts, movements, reverses, soundscapes, distorted melodies, musical sound design and transitions are some of the things you will find in this collection, produced using a stratocaster type electric guitar. For that reason the sounds have a deep and musical feeling with such versatility that you can use them as effects or to enhance musical productions, generate a sound design musical moment and even compose tracks.
Apart of being a great library for Horror or Sci-fi games and movies, this collection is great for trailers too.
Atmospheric elements (designed, distortion, high, low and tremolo) • Chords (evocative chords, dark arpeggios and fantasy) • Impacts • Melodies • Movements • Pads • Reverses • Soundscapes (surreal and tension) • Transitions
Looking for baby sounds? So were we, and here's roughly how long it took to capture them: It took a very, very long time and lots of patience to gather this precious collection of laughing, dreaming, grouching, coughing, crying, shouting, talking, weeping, whining, burping and babbling bundles of joy.
We invited a lot of babies at the age from 3 to 24 months – boys and girls – to our studio.
They followed our call, brought their parents and the funny and often loud recordings started. We also equipped every new parent in our office with our best microphones and recorders and instructed them on how to record their own babies at home. You'll just love the multicolored, sweet and piercing high-quality recordings.
The library comes with 152 files in 96kHz/24bit High Definition Audio and has a size of more than 500MB. All sounds are royalty free, guaranteeing you best quality as always.
With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We'll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.

MCCAULEY, Ross A.; CORTES-PALOMEC, Aurea C. e OYAMA, Ken. Distribution, genetic structure, and conservation status of the rare microendemic species, Guaiacum unijugum (Zygophyllaceae) in the Cape Region of Baja California, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2010, vol.81, n.3, pp.745-758. ISSN 2007-8706.
Guaiacum unijugum is a rare shrub endemic to a 70 km stretch of coastline extending east from San José del Cabo in Baja California and is the least well-known of the 4 species of Guaiacum in Mexico. To increase our knowledge of this species and assess its conservation status we surveyed the extent of occurrence using both herbarium material and field work, assessed levels of genetic diversity, determined its phylogenetic relationships, and completed an evaluation of risk of extinction (MER). Herbarium material identified 5 known localities of occurrence with field work verifying the continued persistence of 4 of these with an additional site discovered. Genetic analysis across the small range using 17 microsatellite loci showed very low levels of genetic diversity with a mean expected heterozygosity (HE) of 0.162 over all polymorphic loci. Most loci were found to be monomorphic and genetic divergence was small, maintained by the presence of rare private alleles in widely-separated populations. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a sister group relationship to G. coulteri along the Pacific coast suggesting vicariance for the origin and occurrence of G. unijugum. The unique evolutionary history coupled with current small population sizes warrants increased conservation via listing as a critically endangered species.

Ultra-high intensity laser physics
The Lund High Power Laser Facility, located in the basement of the Atomic Physics Division, includes a state-of-the-art multi-terawatt laser system (40 TW at 10 Hz, with 35 fs pulse duration). Centered around this laser, a local research group is performing research on ultra-high intensity laser physics. The group is, in particular, performing research on laser-plasma interactions at intensities where relativistic effects dominate, and laser-plasma based acceleration of electrons and proton. The group is further studying the generation of ultra-short and intense pulses of x-rays in the keV range. More information about this group, its activities, recent publications, and the laser system can be found by visiting the homepage of the group

Hitting the shrines in Kyoto, Japan
An ancient capital of Japan, Kyoto is still filled with shrines, temples and castles that date back hundreds of years. With only 2 and a half days in the city, Steven and I had to do a quick highlights-of-Kyoto tour. Add in the constant rain, wet feet, crowded, humid, sweaty buses, it was seriously a journey to get to some of these places.
OK. My absolute favourite temple in Kyoto (given that I didn't have time to see them all) was the Fushimi Inari Shrine (the entrance of which is pictured above).
We didn't actually visit the ancient shrine because the Japanese were kind enough to put it on top of Mount Inari. Steven and I were not keen on battling mosquitoes and slippery footwear up a friggin MOUNTAIN. The there-and-back journey is supposed to take 2 hours, and that would have cut into my lunch time.
Still, it's my favourite temple because of all the beautiful scenery along the way. The pathway is lined with torii (gates) that are engraved with names and dates of the donors. The donors are often major companies wanting to be blessed with financial success, as Inari is associated with wealth.
Although not pictured, all along the torii pathway are little shrines, made of wood and stone, most often with foxes guarding the inner shrine. Kitsune (foxes) are associated with the Inari deity, serving as their messengers, and so they guard this shrine. They are, btw, the most badass foxes in the world.
My next favourite is Sanjusangendo, the 750 year-old temple with a thousand golden Buddhist Kannon inside.
Though you can't tell from this picture, the hall is super duper long. In fact, it's so long that it's length is used as a challenge to archers in a yearly archery contest. Like many Japanese things, they took an archery contest and turned it into a 24-hour archery marathon, the winner of which gets his or her name inscribed on a plaque in the hall. The old wooden structural posts even have marks and notches where archers strung their bows, where arrows mistakenly landed, etc. Today, they still hold an archery contest, but I don't believe anyone is interested in the 24-hour archery marathon.
You can't take pictures inside because many of the deities are still being worshipped. With my Buddhist Chinese background, and then my yoga training on top of that, it was fascinating to see all the similarities between Hindu and Buddhist deities, and how they transformed over time.
If you're ever in Kyoto, I definitely recommend these 2 historical spots. While the bigger attractions like Kiyomizu-desu, the Golden Pavillion, and the Heian shrine are all very cool, these 2 were my definite favourites.
For dinner, Steven and I wandered the traditional (read: pricey) area of Gion. Tucked away in an alley was the Udon Museum, which served some seriously yummy noodles.
They had an English menu, were happy to explain anything to the best of their abilities, made concessions for my vegetarianism, and were reasonably priced! Best way to end a hard day exploring.

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has warned that the ongoing conflict in Yemen is transforming the country into a "time bomb", urging the international community to strive for peace in the impoverished Arab state.
The UN chief made the remarks at the opening of consultations on the situation in Yemen in the Swiss city of Geneva on Monday, adding that the unabated crisis in Yemen has provided a fertile ground for the growth of "ruthless" terrorist groups.
"In Yemen's case, the ticking clock is not a timepiece, it is a time bomb," he warned, adding, "The fighting is giving new strength to some of the world's most ruthless terrorist groups."
The ISIL Takfiri militants released a video purportedly announcing their official presence in war-torn Yemen in April. The Yemeni army along with popular committees, backed by Ansarullah fighters, are fighting terrorist al-Qaeda-linked groups and the ISIL Takfiri militants across the country.
Ban also called on the international community to act urgently to settle the crisis in Yemen, saying, "We don't have a moment to lose."
"The region simply cannot sustain another open wound like Syria and Libya. We must find a way to end the suffering and begin the long road to peace," the UN chief said.
Syria has been beset by a deadly crisis fueled by terrorist groups, including the ISIL and the al-Qaeda–affiliated al-Nusra Front. The ISIL Takfiri group is also wreaking havoc in Iraq and Libya.
Ban called on all stakeholders to "make the most of the momentum of opportunity" provided in the Geneva talks to bring an end to the deadly crisis in Yemen.
The talks, brokered by UN special envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, aim to secure a ceasefire, and accelerate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the war-wracked nation.
Saudi Arabia, which started its deadly airstrikes against Yemen on March 26 without the authorization of the UN, has imposed a blockade on Yemen.
"Since March, the fighting has killed more than 2,600 people – half of them civilians. It has destroyed schools, hospitals and precious cultural heritage. Today, Yemen's very existence hangs in the balance. While parties bicker, Yemen burns," Ban added.
The UN chief also called for a humanitarian pause in the Saudi aggression against the country "to allow critical assistance to reach all Yemenis in need and provide a respite for Yemenis as the holy month of Ramadan begins."
