Ratings for Dr. Michael H. Quinn
Dr. Quinn did major surgery against my will. I woke to find he fused 3 toes I asked him not to touch. Now I'm crippled. He lingered to reach statute of limitations before confessing. Can't give points for staff or punctuality. He was expressly told not to involved other toes and changed my life.
Unfriendly staff . Waited for an hour and asked the staff why it was taking so long. They just smiled and told me I would be next. After two more other patients were called in next I left the office. Why do they give you a appointment and time if they clearly don't care about it. A total waste of my morning and time. I will never go back and told my primary not to refer any patients to this office..
I am surprised to see so many positive reviews about Mike Quinn. I have a different take on this guy. He should be a politician instead of a physician. He is very pretentious and acts nice around you for the purpose of his self-serving. I have seen his true colors, and would only recommend him to my worst enemies.
Pleasant experience all around....staff light hearted, doctor had a great manner and was personable, with good sense of humor.
Dr Quinn operated on my foot 4 weeks ago to fuse an arthritic joint. He was extremely kind and polite. He explained all of my options in detail and seemed to genuinely care about my pain. Whenever I met with him he took a lot of time. I had surgery at CA Orthopedic Institute. After surgery Dr Quinn told me to call him any time, day or night, if I needed to. One night I was having a lot of pain. My husband called and asked the answering service to speak to whichever doc was on call. The answering service told my husband that Dr. Quinn handles all of him own calls whether he is on duty or not. So at 3 AM Dr. Quinn graciously spoke to us and was able to give instructions that quickly alleviated my pain. The next morning his nurse called to check in on me and Dr Quinn offered to get me in to be seen between his surgeries that day. In these days of HMOs and the bottom line running our health care, I am grateful to have such a great doc to get me back on my feet. Highly recommended!
You'll never find a better doctor. He's the best in his field and sooooo kind. Love him!
Michael Quinn is the best doctor ever! Kind, considerate, sweet, takes his time and really listens and cares. Highly recommended! I went through at least 6 doctors and he is the only one who truly cared and helped me. What a wonderful human being.

SafeNet provides cloud encryption for Pitney Bowes digital mailbox
Pitney Bowes has beefed up security in its new digital mailbox platform Volly by adding cloud encryption from SafeNet.
Paying the bills is a pain. When Pitney Bowes designed Volly, its digital mailbox, the development team strived to create a user interface that took some of the hurt out of the process.
The digital mailbox would serve as a one-stop platform for bill paying, a way for users to pay for services without having to sign up for individual sites. But with security still a leading concern in cloud computing, Pitney Bowes faced a unique challenge -- how to create an easy experience for users while still providing the security needed to protect sensitive information like credit card numbers. After mulling over the build-or-buy dilemma, Pitney Bowes decided on Belcamp, Md.-based data protection company SafeNet.
Read more about cloud security
The basics of cloud storage
How real are cloud security threats?
Cloud security and multitenancy
Ray Umerley, vice president of Volly Solution Development, said that SafeNet was ultimately the choice because it was best-of-breed software with a robust collection of APIs that made integration a breeze and created the best user experience. Pitney Bowes considered other vendors, but build-or-buy was a tougher decision, he added.
"It always is, we're all engineers at heart here," Umerley said. "The onus is typically, if we can solution the idea on how we want it to work we can put the resources to bear to make it happen."
Engineers were up to the task, but ultimately SafeNet was seen as a safer bet.
"Is our core competency really going to be creating a cryptographic solution for securing cloud contents? Not today, maybe tomorrow," he said.
Umerley added that since Volly, a digital mailbox that serves as a way to pay bills online in a centralized location, is a new brand for Pitney Bowes, partnering with an established security company was preferable. He said the logic was the same for Volly's partnership with Adobe to create an accessible user interface.
Identity verification key to open digital mailbox
The focus on ease of use led to the creation of a system that keeps security hidden from the user. Signing up for the platform requires a name and a password. To start receiving bills through the digital mailbox, users have to verify their identity with their billing company in Volly, using personalized identity-level questioning, like what their eye colors are or how many rooms they have in their homes.
"A digital check that only relies on a certain subset of data is going to be easier to compromise than a large set of data," Umerely said, adding that a little money and a search engine is all a hacker would need to find most credit check data.
Users only have to take the identity-level quiz once and do not have to give any other information, unless the provider has regulatory requirements that demand an extra level of identification, like an account number.
The goal of the system is to provide an alternative to the Web-scraping model, where usernames and passwords are stored on the billing company's servers. Umerely said that part of Volly's security comes from the fact that they don't want users' information and don't ask for it.
Tsion Gonen, chief strategy officer at SafeNet, compared Volly's security to other approaches that led to major breaches recently, such as the LinkedIn server hack that revealed more than six million passwords and millions of eHarmony passwords. Gonen believes SafeNet is insulated from attacks like that because it does not store usernames and passwords.
"If you look at the recent breaches, the ones that really were painful, the hackers didn't go after individual accounts, they went after where everything is," Gonen said, explaining that SafeNet's appliance secures Volly's transactions with data encryption that is transparent to the user.
"If some hacker comes in, he'll only be able to take encrypted data, which is irrelevant."
Cloud encryption beefs up digital mailbox security
The encrypted data can't be accessed without a unique key that each user receives. The challenge for SafeNet has become getting cryptography technology to scale. Millions of keys are issued for an application like Volly, creating challenges on how to store the keys securely.
Gonen said SafeNet's keys are vaulted in hardware, not software, that is highly secure, to the point that accessing the physical hardware requires a Hollywood-style scenario where three separate keys are turned simultaneously. He adds that while SafeNet vaults the keys and encrypts the data, users are still in full ownership of it.
"I want you to manage [services], but I don't want you to have access to my data," Gonen said, describing a typical user request. "The only way to do that in a scalable manner is to use crypto."

Immigrant rights advocates filed a lawsuit Thursday that seeks to overturn Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's order denying driver's licenses for young immigrants who have gotten work permits and avoided deportation under a new Obama administration policy.
The lawsuit alleges the state has in effect classified young-adult immigrants as not having permission to be in the country and asks a federal judge to declare Brewer's policy unconstitutional because it's trumped by federal law and denies licenses without valid justification.
"Arizona's creation of its own immigration classification impermissibly intrudes on the federal government's exclusive authority to regulate immigration," the lawsuit said.
The Obama administration took administrative steps in June to shield as many as 800,000 immigrants from deportation. Applicants must have been brought to the United States before they turned 16, be younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have graduated from a high school or GED program or have served in the military. They also were allowed to apply for a two-year renewable work permit.
Brewer has defended her Aug. 15 order on driver's licenses as necessary for ensuring that state agencies adhere to the intent of state laws denying public benefits to illegal immigrants.
The governor has clashed with the Obama administration in the past over illegal immigration, most notably in the challenge that the federal government filed in a bid to invalidate Arizona's 2010 immigration law. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law's most contentious section, but threw out other sections.
Lawyers for two civil rights groups that led a challenge to the 2010 state law also filed the lawsuit over Brewer's driver's license policy.
The latest case was filed on behalf of the five young-adult immigrants in Arizona who were brought to the United States from Mexico as children and were granted deferred deportation protections under the Obama administration's policy but were denied licenses or complained that Brewer's order has caused significant hardships.
Brewer's policy makes it difficult or impossible for such young immigrants to do essential things in their everyday life, such as going to school, going to the grocery store, and finding and holding down a job, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit said Brewer's order means federal work permits for the program's participants won't be accepted as proof of their legal presence in the country for the purpose of getting a driver's license. Still, the lawsuit said, the state will accept such a work permit from immigrants who have won deferred deportation status as part of other federal immigration programs.
The five young immigrants aren't seeking money damages and instead are asking a judge to bar Arizona from denying driver's licenses to immigrants who were granted deferred deportation status by the federal government. It seeks class-action status that would let all other young immigrants in Arizona who were granted the deferred-deportation protection join the lawsuit.
About 11,000 people living in Arizona have applied for the deferred deportation protection under the Obama administration's policy.
The lawsuit was also filed on behalf of the Arizona DREAM Act Coalition, a group that advocates for federal legislation that would provide a path to legal status for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants.

Monday, I was not in the mood to cycle. I went anyway, and I had an amazing class. Tuesday, I woke up with a headache, and couldn't run early in the morning before it got hot. I had to run after work, and it was 95 degrees. I didn't necessarily have a great run, but I was proud of myself for doing it anyway.
It's so true, sometimes the best runs (or bike rides, or ANYTHING in life) happen when you don't feel like going.
Tell me about a time when you didn't want to run or workout and it ended up being amazing!

A woman was left 'shaken' after being pushed over in an unprovoked assault.
Police are appealing for witnesses and information following the incident in Markyate, which occurred between 6.30pm and 7pm on Monday (February 12).
A woman in her 20s was running along London Road when an unknown man appeared at her side and pushed her. She fell and suffered grazes to her knee.
The man did not make any threats or steal any property and ran off towards the Plume of Feathers.
PC Tom Colvin, who is investigating the incident, said: "Thankfully the woman wasn't seriously injured but was left shaken by what happened.
"The incident occurred on a busy residential road so it is quite possible there would have been a number of people around at the time. I am appealing for anyone who saw what happened, or who thinks they may know the identity of the man, to please contact us."
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Colvin on the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference D1/18/1379. You can also email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Letter Written by My Great-Grandmother
My mom has been the unofficial family historian for my immediate and extended family for some time, and she recently handed over most of her records to me (genealogy papers, handwritten letters, old photographs, etc.) to keep and add to as time goes on. I was looking through some of it this morning and found the following undated letter from my great-grandmother, Florence Packard (nee Nelson). Letters fascinate me, partly because people don't really write them anymore, and because you get a sense of who people are by how and what they write. Anyway, I thought I'd share it.
Dear Ele;
Have wanted to get at a letter to you for some time but too many upsets.
I imagine you have heard about the fires we are having here, is terrible. Are practically on our doorstep.
Some small towns around us had had some houses burn and have been evacuated. The whole country is thick with smoke.
It all started last Sunday evening when we had an electrical storm which was long overdue. Usually if we have a few days of extra hot weather we have a storm. But I cant remember when we have had a day that wasn't in the 90[s] or 100[s]. Our hottest was 105 some days in a row.
We are down in Crescent City now, just got here thru thick smoke three fourths of way. We had planned on coming here to spend the Labor Day week end anyway but kind of left ahead of time. That smoke was too much.
Seems funny one lightening storm can set about half the state on fire but it was terribly dry. I don't know when we had a rain.
Bob [1] has been taking radiation treatments for cancer inside his nose for over a month & is thru now & is supposed to come back in six months for results. I sometimes wonder if it was in time.
Bobby, Evalyn & Steven [2] were here for about a week a couple weeks ago. Was so hot & couldn't get anything done. Had so much canning to do.
The tomatoes are finally starting to ripen & have canned ten pints so far & brought a big sack of them down here.
Jill [3] wants some of them also so will give her the ripe ones when we get home. She gave me two big boxes of peaches last week & I canned thirty gls of them so wont have to buy any this year.
Have been canning different kinds of pickles & have got about all of them I need, but hate to see them go to waste…
Being on jury duty doesn't help matters any. They excused me for this week so could be down here.
Was surprised to hear of your auction. How did it go? Are you still going to live there?
Is so nice down here but cant help thinking of them at home in all that smoke.
Dennis [4], his son & grandson are out fishing & will have Dennis take me to town to mail this letter when they get back.
The grandson lost a nice ling cod yesterday which made him sick as catching one of them is a prize.
Well will close this & mail it when Dennis gets back.

2. My grandfather (her son), grandmother and uncle (mother's brother)

staccato, in this, that is comforting. others writing is always an opening. i remember years ago, i moved my family to PA, (wife and infant daughter), and was living with the in-laws and i rec'd a letter from my father. growing up, my mother wrote, and father spoke. i'd always assumed that my, inner, and its subsequent outer were mirroring my mother on the page. but the letter from my father sounded like me. i don't think i'd seen a word on paper from him, memorably, until then. odd. comforting.
I love that you found you write like your father, even though you'd never read a letter from him before. I guess we learn our rhythms from the people around us.
I agree about the staccato in the letter above having an oddly comforting effect. Her voice is so unaffected, so natural, but she has these really beautiful, vivid lines scattered throughout ("The whole country is thick with smoke," "Seems funny one lightening storm can set about half the state on fire but it was terribly dry. I don't know when we had a rain," etc.). It seems like something straight out of an Alice Munro story, or something similar.
Anyway, thank you for reading this and leaving your comment. I appreciate your words, thoughts, and memories.
Oh Heidi, this is so nice to read. It brings back memories of my grandma. 🙂 It was a letter written to her sister, Eleanor, and her other sister, Doris, sent it (and several other letters) to me several years ago when I wrote her a letter requesting information about our Nelson family history. As you know, when looking through these letters while preparing to hand them over to you, I noticed a note on the back of one of the letters that provided information on our family history. I hadn't noticed this note before but it was incredibly helpful in finding information on our Nelson ancestors in Ancestry.com. For instance, it mentioned that her grandmother was named Maren and lived in Marinette, Wisconsin. It also gave the names of her father's brothers (interestingly, it didn't mention any sisters although, from my research, I know they had at least one sister and possibly two). This was helpful in my search because then I could confirm that I had the right Maren Nelson. Perhaps you could post that note here about what she wrote regarding her family. I thought it was very interesting. It contained such information as the fact that her father never spoke about his family and his children used to sing Norwegian songs with their cousins yet didn't know Norwegian.
Hey Mom, that's a great idea. I haven't read that note/letter yet, but I'll look for it. Also, thanks for filling in some of the blanks for me; I had no idea who "Ele" was, for one. 🙂 I wonder why great-great-grandpa never talked about his family… Anyway, I'm glad reading this brought back memories for you! I loved reading it, too.
Another interesting thing to note to other readers of this post: the handkerchief in the picture above was my grandmother's sent to me by her daughter, my aunt Delores. Heidi used it at her wedding in November 2009 as her "something old." 😀

CEVA opens an office in Myanmar
Bangkok, Thailand 22 June, 2017 – As part of its strategic expansion in the emerging Mekong markets, CEVA Logistics, one of the world's largest supply chain management companies, has opened its office in Myanmar's capital, Yangon.
For the last five years, CEVA has been operational in the country through a network partner, providing Freight Management services to a number of multinational and local customers.
Effective June 2017, the company now has its own office, offering the full spectrum of air and ocean freight services with access to the CEVA network using One Freight System (OFS) – CEVA's global system which manages all freight movements worldwide.
Myanmar presents considerable potential for growth with strong demand for both import and export services. Imports comprise mainly industrial materials for infrastructure, consumer goods and machinery, whilst exports of commodities, agricultural products and goods for the retail sector drive the outbound trade. With its expertise in the industrial and consumer and retail sectors among others, CEVA is well positioned to offer professional and competitive services.
"Myanmar is a country with real opportunities for growth. It has a population of some 55 million people who are looking to companies like CEVA to provide supply chain services to support their developing business and meet their requirements. In the past, the country infrastructure has always been a limiting and inhibiting factor but with our global network and more importantly, our experience in emerging markets, especially in the region, we are confident that with our own office and robust IT offerings we can deliver options and solutions to the market and at the same time grow our commercial footprint", says Bruno Plantaz, CEVA's Managing Director Mekong cluster.

|First Critical Look At The HD DVD Experience
|Thursday, 11 May 2006
DVD has officially been launched albeit, very conservatively. Early
reports from AVRev.com staff (we bought six players already) speak
glowingly of the picture as well as the sound from the new format. But
all is not well under the hood of the first batch of players. 45 second
delays between rebooting the player (note: Microsoft and Intel are
behind HD DVD) are really causing GenX and GenY users to have to take a
deep breath as they wait for a movie to load.
Shortages of both software as well as hardware make landing players and
discs often challenging in the very early goings of the format's
launch. Clearly Toshiba and their partners want to be able to pull back
the reins if the players or discs fail to meet performance or
reliability standards out of the gate. Imagine if Boeing looked at
launching a new airplane or a satellite with this much confidence?
Reportedly, the first shipment of HD DVD players is limited to 15,000
units domestically. I wouldn't be surprised to see Toshiba engineers
working on a software or firmware fix to the slow loading issue or the
need to reboot the entire player periodically (man, am I glad I work on
a Mac).
AVRev.com Readers Speak On HD Disc Formats:
In a recent study compiled during Meridian's sweepstakes, compelling data was collected on how over 16,000 AVRev.com readers feel about the new HD disc formats.
What is your opinion of the upcoming HD video formats?
It is important to note, this data was collected before the launch of HD DVD and the delay in the launch of Blu-ray until June 2006. We interpret the data to mean that the format war is completely up for grabs to either camp. HD DVD certainly gets points for being first to the market. Blu-ray has a tremendous upside with Sony Pictures having over 3000 films ready in 1080p in addition to over 2,000 TV programs also ready for release in HD. One thing that is amazingly annoying about early HD DVD players is the fact they will only output 1080i signals when the first software titles are being released in 1080p. If you have invested early in a 1080p HDTV set shouldn't you be able to get 1080p content from an HD disc? Not with HD DVD.
Should you take a wait and see approach to the new formats before investing as some computer-oriented web publications have suggested? We think that is overly harsh. If you have the means and want to be WOWED by new levels of video and audio performance - $500 or $800 for a player is a fair price to ask. I can tell you this much, as soon as I get my new reference theater installed, I will have both players running and I very well may sell off my DVD collection to only the best titles because who really wants to watch a movie at home that isn't in HD?
Look for a full feature review of the Toshiba HD-XA1 and HD-A1 players June 1st, 2006 on AVRev.com

Deputy City Manager John Williams, third in command in the city's administration, was arrested on a charge of drunk driving last week and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Long Beach Municipal Court, police said.
Police stopped Williams, 52, in the 4200 block of Long Beach Boulevard about 9 p.m. on Dec. 29, according to Lt. Robert Kalowes of community relations.
Williams allegedly was driving erratically. He was booked into the local jail, and Police Chief Lawrence Binkley, who was called in by officers, drove him home since the two men live near each other, Kalowes said. Binkley has a policy requiring officers to call him any time a city administrator or police officer is arrested, Kalowes said.
Officers arrested a second city employee, Taufiq Rushdy, when he arrived while police were arresting Williams, Kalowes said. But the city prosecutor is not pursuing a drunk driving charge on Rushdy because officers did not see him driving, Kalowes said.

Seedbead Tutorial - Spiral Weave Rope Chain
This beautiful pattern can be used in short pieces with larger beads in between (see my Aqua Lampwork bracelet in previous post), or in greater lengths for an entire bracelet or necklace (see my Bronzite Pendant necklace in previous post). It's very versatile, and once you get the basic pattern mastered you can experiment with different sizes of seedbeads within the pattern to give it a different look.
You will need:
Beading Thread – Nymo or Fireline will work well
Thin Beading Needle
11/0 seedbeads – in 2 colours, I'll refer to them as "A" and "B"
1. Cut a 4 foot length of beading thread and thread needle.
2. Tie a stopper bead (any 6mm or larger bead will do) about 8" from the end of the thread. Tie it so you can get the stopper bead off at the end of the project…you will be weaving the 8" of thread back through your rope chain after the clasp is added.
3. Decide which colour you want for the "core" of the spiral…you will use fewer of these beads. The other colour will be for the outside of the spiral. I will refer to them as:
"A" = core colour beads
"B" = outside colour beads
4. String 4 A and 3 B beads onto needle. Slide them down to lie next to the stopper bead.
5. Go back and pass needle through the 4 A beads. (I enlarged the picture to show detail).
6. Now string 1 A and 3 B beads. This pattern will repeat and form the spiral rope as we proceed.
7. Go back and pass needle through 3 of the previous 4 A beads from step #5, and the new A bead (for a total of 4 A beads...3 old, 1 new). Do not pass the needle through any of the B beads.
8. Continue in this pattern, adding 1 A and 3 B beads each stitch, then going through only the last four A beads in the core part of the rope chain each time. The B beads will spiral up in groups of three as the core of the chain is built.
9. Here is a close-up of the finished rope chain...
You can see the white "core" forms the backbone of the spiral, and the silver-lined aqua beads in groups of three wind around the core.
10. Continue in this pattern for the length desired, whether it's for a bracelet or necklace. I'll show you how to attach the clasp in the next posting.

Working with Seedbeads.... A Love Reborn
Over the years I've come back to seedbeads, first as an embelleshment for the bodice of my wedding gown, which I made with pewter grey satin, overlaid with organza on the bodice.
Then it was beadweaving in the Ukranian Mesh style...this necklace is still one of my favourites:
Lately I've been working with a spiral weave in the form of a rope, and I love the texture and flexibility of this technique.
Here's a necklace I just finished. The spiral weave forms the "chain" of the necklace and I used a bronze and ivory palette for it....tiny little 15/0 delicas and 10/0 metallic bronze seedbeads. The pendant is a bronzite rectangular cabochon set in a bronze-finished polymer clay frame, made by the very talented Nathalie Girard of Canadian Rockies Art.
I've also been combining my lampwork beads with seedbeads, as in this gorgeous aquamarine blue bracelet listed in my Ruby Lane shop.
Tomorrow I'll post a tutorial with instructions to make a spiral rope using the spiral weave pattern...it's so versatile.

Why Do We Work in Burundi?
Like many of the countries where we work, Burundi is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in the world according to the United Nations Human Development Index. Although not as well known as the genocide that took place in neighboring Rwanda, Burundi underwent a civil war from 1993-2005 that killed 200,000 members of its population. This continues to have a significant effect on the country's development.
Risk factors for obstetric fistula are prevalent in Burundi. It has an impoverished rural population and access to maternal healthcare is limited. Early marriage is common and the fertility rate is one of the highest in the world. In addition, according to a 2006 survey by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), traditionally-held beliefs can also contribute: some Burundians believe a 'real' woman should be able to deliver on her own without any skilled personnel to assist.
Access to fistula care services is extremely limited due to a lack of trained fistula surgeons and necessary medical supplies. Building Burundi's capacity to identify and treat fistula and raising awareness among local populations are priority areas.
What You Help Us Do In Burundi
We're helping fund:
- Fistula surgeries
- Surgeon training
- Community outreach
Gihofi Hospital, Rutana Province
How much funding have we granted?
$166,000 in FY2014
Who is our partner?
We provide grant support to this hospital through Women and Health Alliance International (WAHA).
How will this help women in Burundi?
Providing competency-based surgeon training in fistula identification and treatment is a top priority of this project. International experts will train new surgeons in Burundi based on the standardized fistula manual recently developed by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). This increase in the number of qualified fistula surgeons in Burundi, along with provision of necessary medical supplies and equipment, will result in women having greater access to fistula care services. Through this project, Gihofi Hospital aims to perform 200 surgeries in the next year and will cover the costs of all transportation and reintegration expenses for patients.
Where is Burundi?
Facts About Burundi
- Population:10,395,931

After a visit to Braunston's butcher and being relieved of some of our hard earned coins we returned to Waiouru to spend much of the day catching up on administration. Living on a boat isn't one long holiday. Bills have to be paid finances attended to and we still have a house with a tenant that requires attention. One passport also had to be sent for updating. There's no rest for the wicked!
However there was still time for another couple of chats with Mick and Pip (nb Lillyanne) before they departed. It was 23 August when we first met whilst moored at Rodney on the Leeds – Liverpool with us going in opposite directions. Actually we had each covered a similar circuit but in opposite directions.
Just on noon there was a toot from a passing boat which Jan identified as nb Doo Lalli Ali With Chris and Alison aboard. We last saw them at Calcutt on 7 May last year. <blog post here>
And a photo from that meeting.
There was time for a chat with them before they headed up into Braunston for a fish-n-chip lunch. From the conversation I gleaned this year they had gone as far north as Marple and were on their way back to the marina after visiting the Thames via Oxford. Lovely to catch up with them… albeit briefly!
Oh I finally managed to dispose of the waste oil from the last two engine services. Some of it we've been carrying since we left Rugby in late May. Braunston Marina has a waste oil collection tank which is free to use provided you dispose of the containers. So we are now 20kg lighter in the stern.

I've had two fragrances through today – one, Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum and the other Cartier Panthere. Starting with Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum – it's like lying on a warm beach; there are all kinds of notes in it from bergamot and mandarin to roses and magnolias, finishing on vanilla and coconut milk. But if you put all the ingredients in a line like that, it makes it sound like a big fragrance when in fact, it's a very delicate one. Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum was almost inevitable – fans of the famous Nuxe Prodigieux oil have long raved about the scent, but I think the actual perfume smells much better than the oil. It's a pleasure-comfort scent – it reminds me of all the things I'd like to be doing (but am not!) and it's a little bit dreamy – I can imagine sleeping on a beach and waking up to this scent – like it smells of somewhere I'd like to be. It's £43 launching on 31st March.
The other one. Cartier La Panthere. When I first smelled it my immediate reaction was to email the PR and say I can't feature this. Why? Because it is off-the-scale sexual. I can't even begin to describe it without completely over-sharing but it certainly brings plenty of things to mind. I honestly don't know what else to say about it that's actually printable. It's described as a 'floral yet feral' and a 'sensual floral' – let's just say it's not the flowers I'm smelling. In fact, it is so distracting I'm going to have to go and wash it off. It launches into Harrods on 9th March and then nationwide from 7th April – prices start at £49.

I love the sound of the Nuxe one, could do with lying on a hot beach right about now!
Jaysus, you sure made me curious about La Panthere now…
I like the sound of nuxe, but am fascinated by the Cartier. I read an article years ago in the Sunday times style about men's fragrance where the description of "smells like a man I want to shag" was used and is my reference point for anything I consider buying for my boyfriend (tom ford extreme is top of list). This sounds more like "smells like the sex I'm having right now"
So, have Cartier basically released the infamous 'sex panther' from anchorman then?!
The above comment is hilarious!
The Nuxe scent sounds divine. I'm going to need that in my life!
LOL! DM "coming" your way re Panthere… Keep an eye out.

As announced in December, Arapahoe Basin is replacing the 32-year-old Exhibition triple chair in its first high-speed quad this summer. The resort decided to name it with a contest and got some interesting ideas from the peanut gallery. We have a winner.
The winning name, from Mark La Flamme of the resort's maintenance department: Black Mountain Express. Not bad.
From an A-Basin press release:
The new, high speed quad chairlift that will be constructed this summer at Arapahoe Basin has found a name - Black Mountain Express. Alan Henceroth, COO of A-Basin, put a call out to A-Basin aficionados to help name the lift. He received hundreds of suggestions from "Quadzilla" to "Chairway to Heaven." After much contemplation and days of looking through suggestions by A-Basin management, some of them very entertaining, "Black Mountain Express" won the crown.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Now while Black Mountain Express is not bad, and Quadzilla is pretty bad, I think I would have gone with Chairway to Heaven. But then Robert Plant would have sued me for everything I'm worth ($868.31).

SONY Pictures Entertainment's cyber attack last week may be the beginning of targeting many more U.S companies in the future. The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) released a five-page document advising corporations how to detect the malware. The department asked corporations to inform the institution if they find evidence of an attack. Only a few companies received the confidential document. They were asked to keep the report private.
The malware makes it difficult for programs to download by overriding data on hard drives. This stops computers from rebooting. Data lost after an attack is almost impossible to recover. The attack obstructed email operations at SONY, and also impacted systems that the company will need to use in releasing movies this season.
The FBI has teamed up with the Department of Homeland Security to find the culprits. According to an article in Bidness ETC, a group called "Guardians of Peace," or #GOP, claimed responsibility for the malware attack.
The group said they were in possession of SONY's film production schedule. The group posted on the internet five movies that the movie production company has invested in, among them Annie's World, which SONY was planning to release in theaters in December. Excipio reported that there were more than 200,000 illegal downloads of the film by November 30. Film analysts say SONY's profits on this investment will be negatively impacted when the movie is screened at the theaters.
The hackers also posted personal information of SONY's employees on the internet. Michael Linton and Amy Pascal, officials of the movie production company, sent a memo to employees acknowledging that the cyber attack had taken place. They advised the staff to keep their personal information safe.
Computers attacked by malware require their hard drives to be re-imaged or manually replaced. When the hackers intruded on Saudi Aramco oil production company, more than 30,000 computers were affected.
Re/code, a technology news website, reported that SONY suspects the culprits are from North Korea. They are alleged to have invaded SONY's computer systems as revenge for the company's sponsorship of the film "The Interview." The plot centers around two journalists sent by the CIA to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The film is to be released in theaters in Canada and the U.S on December 25. The government of North Korea expressed its disappointment in the artistic venture to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, stating that the film was a declaration of war against the country.
According to USA Today, hackers from Iran have gained access to computer networks for transportation and infrastructure companies, major energy companies, U.S government agencies, as well as several corporations in 15 countries. The attack at SONY may be the beginning of more targeting of many U.S companies in the future. According to Cylance, a company that deals on cyber security based in Irvine, CA, sensitive information has been stolen from more than 50 corporations from all over the world. Ten of the companies are based in the United States. The firm reported that the possibility of hackers causing considerable harm on a national or international level is growing rapidly.
According to a study conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), companies lost billions of dollars due to cyber crime. Some corporations normally keep the exact figures confidential in order to keep stocks up. In some cases, corporations are not aware of the exact amount of loss in terms of intellectual property. The study indicated that it is difficult to quantify losses resulting from economic espionage where hackers can access a company's research details, production plans, and customer information without victims knowing.
If this week's cyber attack at SONY is the beginning of more targeting of U.S companies, it means many corporations will need to be prepared to spend more on security. The CSIS study indicated that companies commit approximately 7 percent of their Information Technology budgets to keep off hackers. The study estimated that the national loss to cyber crime and espionage costs the United States between $25 billion to as much as $140 billion annually.

"It is of The Lord's mercy that we are not consumed, because his mercies fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord."
- Lamentations 3:22-26
To hope means to expect, to await an outcome. It implies the confidence and assurance that what one expects will happen. It is assurance that expectation will be filled.
Without hope, men and women would succumb to all the evil and tragedies of the world. Just as John (the Baptizer) was the forerunner to Jesus, so hope must precede faith. Everyone who seeks to please God must have faith. For the Bible states without faith, it is impossible to please God. The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:24, "We are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?"
Anything can erupt tomorrow or the next day that can change the whole course of one's lifestyle. The only absolute is God. Build your hope on things eternal, hold to God's unchanging hand.
Yours for Kingdom Building,
- Bishop W. Spencer, Pastor

Disband the Royal Air Force!
Reformers campaign against the world's oldest air force
Uncategorized May 30, 2014 Robert Farley 0
Could the campaign to eliminate independent air forces succeed with the world's first independent air force? Some air-power critics associated with the Royal Navy are lobbying the U.K. government to disband the Royal Air Force.
"Air power as a joint concept cannot, and is not, best delivered from an independent service," retired Royal Navy commanders Graham Edmonds and Paul Fisher wrote in Warships International Fleet Review.
This naval assault on an air force might surprise some Americans. With a few big exceptions, the U.S. military services have avoided open warfare with one another since the 1950s. Even retired officers hesitate before throwing rhetorical punches at their comrades in the other branches.
Compared to the U.S. armed forces, the U.K. military branches have sharp elbows. Mostly, this results from differences in how the American and British governments approach military appropriation.
In the U.S., the services have developed independent bases of support in Congress, the executive and the defense industry, helping them to resist cuts to weapons programs and force structure. Over time, the U.S. Army, Air Force and Navy—which includes the Marines—have settled into a roughly even split of the overall defense budget.
In the U.K., budgeting plays out very differently. Each of the services has parliamentary bases of support, but the lack of a divide between the legislative and executive makes the situation more fluid. The British military branches also have a lower funding floor, which leads to brutal knife fights over funding and missions.
The history of bitterness between the Royal Navy and the RAF extends all the way back to April 1, 1918, when the British government folded the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps into a new service. This decision detached aviation from control of the navy … and inspired decades of grievance.
During the interwar period, the Royal Navy fought to wrest carrier aviation away from the RAF, which had little use for carrier aircraft and harbored a deep hostility toward the senior service. Although the U.K. built and operated aircraft carriers before either Japan or the United States, by the late 1930s it badly trailed both in terms of aircraft quality.
The RAF practically starved Coastal Command of planes and crews during the early stages of the Battle of the Atlantic, preferring to concentrate on the bombing offensive against Germany.
Even the existing interpretation of the Battle of Britain remains up for grabs. It's accepted wisdom that brave RAF fighter pilots defeated Germany's Luftwaffe during the 1940 air battles over British cities. But several years ago, historian Anthony Cummings argued that the Royal Navy, rather than the RAF, bore primary responsibility for saving Great Britain during the Luftwaffe's Blitz.
Acrimony continued into the post-war era. In the 1960s, the RAF led the charge against CVA-01, a proposal that would have left the navy with a pair of large, American-style supercarriers. In order to protect its strike and electronic aircraft, the RAF argued—to a sympathetic Labor government—that the carriers would be of little use in a major war with the Soviets.
The carriers' cancellation effectively gutted Royal Navy aviation, leaving the navy with only a few old flattops, which the Invincible-class "Harrier carriers" eventually replaced. The 1980s-vintage Invicibles could carry only vertical-landing Harrier jump jets.
In 2000, Her Majesty's government created Joint Force Harrier, which combined both navy and air force Harriers. The Royal Navy depended on the Harriers for its fleet air defense and strike needs, but the RAF had never displayed any great enthusiasm for the aircraft.
As defense austerity hit the United Kingdom in 2010, the RAF offered to sacrifice Joint Force Harrier in lieu of other priorities, an offer that the Tory government jumped at. With no Harriers to fill their decks, the Royal Navy's remaining Invincibles became de facto helicopter carriers.
Repeated RAF blows against the Royal Navy has provoked a powerful backlash. The idea of eliminating the RAF doesn't seem to be as shocking to British audiences as the proposal to eliminate the U.S. Air Force has been to Americans.
Lester May, a retired Royal Navy lieutenant commander, helps lead the anti-RAF effort. May coordinates a dedicated mailing list that keeps proponents of RAF abolition aware of the latest letters, op-eds and information on the state of British military aviation.
He keeps in touch with a number of retired senior leaders from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, conducts independent analyses of RAF ops and helps spearhead the media and political campaign against the air force.
To be sure, just because the campaign against air force independence has gotten farther in the U.K. than in the U.S. doesn't mean that the RAF is in significant danger. In truth, the campaign hasn't produced much more than newspaper op-eds and articles in sympathetic magazines.
And indeed, the primary purpose of this campaign seems less to eliminate the RAF per se than to make the case for a redistribution of resources that favors the Royal Navy.
Still, even the eminent Richard Overy, one of the finest historians of World War II air power, felt compelled to chime in on the debate, offering an op-ed in The Times arguing that the RAF represented the U.K.'s only really source of military innovation.
Overy's article resulted in a robust—and sometimes nasty—debate in the Times' letter section, suggesting that RAF partisans consider the idea of abolition dangerous enough that they feel compelled to fight back.
The real story may be that pressures of technology and austerity are forcing military thinkers to reconsider the traditional structures through which nations conceive and use military force. Plenty of inter-services debates have become old, tired and boring. But then, the ways in which we organize our armed forces are also old and tired.
If we're openly debating grounding the two most distinguished air forces in history, other countries might pause and reconsider the way they've decided to organize their militaries. Especially as drones come to perform many of the tasks normally associated with an air force, the idea of an independent air-power branch may become steadily less appealing.

Web-/portal-sites require a search service. Users simply expect to see a 'Search' box located somewhere at the top to accelerate their need to find information fast.
Now the decision needs to be made what technology to use:
WebSphere Portal's own search service (Portal Search)
Enterprise search offering from IBM Content Analytics
any other third party search technology
In this article we will focus on what steps need to be accomplished to setup and configure Portal Search.
The following graph outline the steps required to accomplish in order to setup and configure Portal Search based on the environment and search needs.
Simply speaking: doesn't every expect to have the ability to search within a site's content? And thus if this is true one would want to provide a search service for his web site.
That said there is a search component available with WebSphere Portal that is free and well integrated.
On the other hand you might already have a license for 3rd party search software which could be used – please consult the provider's documentation on support and integration with WebSphere Portal and IBM Web Content Management for further details.
Thus if Portal Search is not required it is then OK to remove its configuration and resources. However still note the disclaimer in the following chapter related to having search available for the content authors and editors.
Please note that Portal Search is still required for Web Content Management Authoring search. If this is the case that WCM Authoring is being used, then it is OK to delete the 'Portal Default Collection'. However the 'JCRCollection1' is still required and thus the search service itself.
Speaking of the search service: if the Portal is clustered, it is mandatory to install, configure and use a remote search service. Once this has been done a fast way to move the JCR search collection is achieved by can exporting the JCRCollection1 configuration from the local search service as a XML document. Then delete the search collection under the Default Search Service.
Next create the JCRCollection1 under the remote search service and then import the configuration using the export XML document.
Please also check for more details in the chapter describing the setup for the "JCR crawler".
V126.96.36.199 (CF?) Here is a script which allows to delete the default search service as well as its search collections.
Reference link → http://www.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fixcentral/swg/quickorder?apar=PI05486&productid=WebSphere%20Portal&brandid=5
Invoke the script as follows: "..\wp_profile\ConfigEngine\ConfigEngine.sh(bat) action-delete-search-services-and-collections-wp.search.service".
The Manage Search portlet allows to easily delete Portal Search resources such as the search collection or a search sevice.
Example: delete search collection(s) – click on the delete icon to the far right of the table entry for search collections:
The similar procedure applies to deleting a search service:
In a nutshell, the following steps need to be followed to setup, configure and administer a search service for your portal site:
if required – install and configure remote search service
Create a search collection (search full-text index)
For local search a default ready-to-run search collection is already available
Create content sources (define crawlers)
Optionally tweak the search user-interface
If you have a single node of Portal only, then you are almost done. Portal installation has already setup and configured Portal Search:
Default search service is configured and active
Standard set of search collections is available
Default search collection which includes content sources for the Portal Site and WCM libraries
JCRCollection1 – which is optionally required to support search in the WM Authoring environment
The Schedules for each of the crawlers are also set, as well as administrative user credentials so the the crawlers can also access secured information and content
Note: for load-balancing reasons it might still be the preferred choice to off-load the search service as a remote search service to a different server. The reasons for doing so would be:
It is not possible to provide concrete numbers. However when experiencing that 'search' does take up system resources which in return lessen WebSphere Portal's performance, it would be then important to look into this option of load-balancing.
Such an environment mandates the use of a 'remote search service'.
Continuing to use the default search service will result in many side-effects, e.g. like duplicate search collections, data integrity issues with the search collections. A set of identical crawlers hitting the backend servers either too often or at the same time. But most importantly: it would require to administer each service service separately which cannot easily be enabled.
Howe to install and configure a remote search service is explained here:
or also even more detailed in the product documentation:
Note: for V6.1.x and V7 there are scripts available which simplify the steps required to install and configure a remote search service. See: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21474549
Note: once the remote search service is available the local (default) search service and collections are not longer required. Please delete both as described above either using the script or manually. In order to prevent the default search service and its collections to be re-created after a portal server restart you can set the following property "search.service.suppress_automatic_creation=true" in the application server Resource Environment Providers --> 'WP ConfigService'.
If this is the case then it is mandatory to install and configure the Document Conversion Services (DCS). This third party software included with WebSphere Portal will allow to convert the various types of document formats into a format which can be consumed and further processed by the search engine. Not doing so will result in attachments not having been processed and thus not appearing in any search results.
The actions to be performed are documented here: 'Enabling Document Conversion Services" → http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc/wpf/dcs_info.html
Once the remote search service is installed and configured all that is then required is to create the new search collection(s) and finally add the content sources (crawlers).
The fastest way to do this would be to first export the configuration of the Default Search Collection before deleting the search collection and the local search service. The exported XML file will include all information required for re-creating the search collection and its content sources for the remote search service.
The same export step should also be applied for the JCRCollection1 which is required to enable WCM Authoring search.
So if the export file(s) is (are) available, all that then needs to be done is to create the new search collection(s) in the remote search service environment and then import the previously exported XML configuration information into the respective search collection.
And finally as a last step – check if the hostnames (and ports) are still valid for the crawler URLs. In addition also if the optional security information is valid as well. Update as required.
If required or preferred to manually configure your crawlers, please continue reading the next chapter.
Depends on the type of information presented on the Portal site as well as where this information originated from.
Typically IBM Web Content Management (WCM) which is available with WebSphere Portal is the main source of information which is published to the portal site. If this is the case then a content source of type 'WCM site' is required.
In addition there might be information published through some portlets that might also be important enough to be found through the search service.
In this case it is advised to create a content source of type 'Portal site'.
In cases where even more information is hosted on web servers – like for example legacy 'FaQ' type information, then a content source of type 'Web site' is required.
And last but not least: if IBM Connections plays an important role in your environment, then Portal provides flexible means to integrate Portal Search with IBM Connections search:
Set up one or more IBM Connections crawlers – using 'Generic Seedlist type' crawler. Multiple content sources might be required, one for each Connections resource type
Integrate IBM Connections search directly with the portal's own Search Center
Most important to know: the format of the WCM Seedlist:
Note: the SeedlistId parameter in the URL above may be empty. In that case, all content of all available WCM libraries will be checked and processed when the crawler is started (manually or on schedule).
For more information please see: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/Using_the_search_seedlist_1.0_format_wcm8
WCM Support tools which provide a 'Generate WCM Search URL' portlet → http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/Using_the_Generate_WCM_Search_URL_portlet_in_WCM_Support_Tools#Generating+a+seedlist+URL+for+a+standalone+environment
For even more details related to the WCM seedlist please see the following section in the product documentation: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/xpDocViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Web+Content+Manager+8+Product+Documentation#action=openDocument&res_title=Seedlist_1.0_REST_service_API_wcm8
Important to mention here is that when the crawler is started for the first time, it will check and retrieve all available content (based on his user credentials). Dependent on number and size of the WCM libraries this might take some time until the first Seedlist page is returned.
However for any subsequent calls to the seedlist (incremental mode) will be far faster as WCM will return only those items that have changed, were added or deleted since the last time the crawler was active.
In case there are problems, please consult the troubleshooting information provided here → http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/xpViewCategories.xsp?lookupName=Troubleshooting%20Web%20Content%20Manager
and here: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/xpViewCategories.xsp?lookupName=Troubleshooting Web Content Manager
More details available here →http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/Setting_up_a_JCR_search_collection_wp8
Note: that WCM Authoring is integrated via Portal Search's SIAPI Java API. Thus authoring search cannot be replaced by any other search engine provider.
For this content source type you need to select the content source type 'Portal site'. When done you will notice that the URL for the crawler is generated automatically. When remains now is to define the number of crawler threads and provide the appropriate user credentials if secured resources should be crawled as well.
Important! The Portal site crawler picks up all accessible portlet windows and their corresponding portal pages. This is required to handle the various levels of security which portal supports, e.g. security on a portlet level.
Thus it is not the case, that similar to a web-crawler, that all portal pages as a whole are processed.
Example: two Portal pages, one hosting three portlets the other two portlet. If the crawler security settings allow to access all five portlets the crawler will report '5' documents crawled when completed.
Finally important to note, is that the user when he clicks on a 'portlet entry' in the search result list, will then of course be navigated to the respective portal page and then sees that portlet in the right context.
Some high level remarks:
The web crawler will fetch all URLs (web pages) referenced via the start location.
It will per default not stay only within that domain specified by the start URL
For this reason it is often required to provide some crawler filters. Here we distinguish between filters to include or exclude resources either:
'while collections documents', or
'while adding documents to (search) index'
Please note that when restricting the crawler to a specific website, e.g. by specifying the host-name and optionally parts of the relative path information, that this is regarded to be the super-set of documents the crawler will fetch. Both for the purpose of the pages analyzed to find even more links, as well as for the purpose of retrieving the content of a page to then add to the search index.
Even finer tuning is also available to determine what in the end gets stored in the search index.
An example for the above said:
Website is http://www.myco.com/
Crawler filter 'while collecting' is defined as "*/www.myco.com/wps/portal/*"
Include filter for the indexing process are the following two:
"*/wps/portal/*" and
This will actually lead to none of the items which match the filter "*/wps/wcm/*" to be processed. The crawler will find such a link and store it for further processing, however later during indexing of the item it will refuse to fetch that item because it does not meet the primary filter criteria for the crawler itself.
The solution here is that the crawler filter needs to be adjusted and thus less restrictive:
Crawler filter 'while collecting' is defined as "*/www.myco.com/wps/*"
In general there are two main integration options to consider:
Use the seedlist crawler to crawl IBM Connections
Make use of the Portal Search Center's federated search capability to search using IBM Connection's own search service
There are pros and cons doing one or the other:
Pro: tapping into Connection's search service eliminates the need to build yet another search collection
Con: federated search results may result in one search service delivering search result with rank scores that dominate over that of the other search service.
For more details please see:
For crawling an IBM Connections server: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/Integrating_Lotus_Connections_V3_with_WebSphere_Portal_Search_V7
For enabling federated search: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/xpDocViewer.xsp?lookupName=Integration+Plug-ins+Documentation+for+IBM+Connections+4.5#action=openDocument&res_title=Configuring_search_using_Remote_Content_Server_Search_Service_Type_RCSS_lv45&content=pdcontent
This will give you a search result view as follows:
It is important to note that filters cannot (and should not) be applied to Seedlist entries. It is however possible to signal to the owning application (like: portal server and web content management) what for example portlets or content items to not publish through the seedlist.
For details please see the following article:
The default relevance calculation which Portal Search provides might not be as good as expected. There are multiple reasons why. However there are also configurations options provided which allow to tweak the quality of search to your needs:
Use suggested links to associate certain keywords with a specific URL
Change the default simple search behavior to not combine keywords using the Boolean 'OR" operator but rather the more strict 'AND' operator
Boost keywords occurring in certain fields (or phrases)
For a more detailed description please see the following article
Locate the file DisplayresultsWidgets.js (typically located in: WebSphere/wp_profile/installedApps//PA_Search_Center.ear/searchCenter.war/js/ibm/portal/search/SearchCenter/widgets/)
In this file simply remove the two red lines:
create the URL for the search REST servlet, based on query parameters
createServiceUrl: function() {
var params = {
query: this.query.getFullQueryText(),
scope: this.query.scope.getValue(),
queryLang: this.query.language,
resultLang: this.query.language,
locale: djConfig.locale,
results: this.numItems,
start: this.currentPage * this.numItems
Save the file. Do not forget to clear the browser's cache before performing the next search to validate.
Note: as a consequence of removing 'queryLang' the query text will be parsed using the default language specified for the search collection.
The product provided Search Center portlet does not provide buillt-in support for faceted search. However for those interested beginning with WebSphere Portal V8 the Search REST service APIs have been extended together with sample code for a search portlet which enable search facets. For the complete document please see: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/Leverage_Search_Expierence_based_on_Portal_Search_REST_API
Search service – compare to a search server – available as 'local' service for portal running in single-node mode. Remote search service required for portal cluster environment, to allow all nodes of the cluster to equally access the same search service.
Search collection – commonly referred to as a search index. Compare to a database which includes information about the resources that have been made searchable
Content source – the crawler(s)
Seedlist – XML representation of resources which the owning application provides to support efficient crawling/collecting of information for processing by the search engine
Search scope – user selectable filters used to focus search on a subset of the information available in the search collection(s).
Search Center – refers to the default search page and main portlet. This page is wired together with the search box in the standard theme(s) of the Portal.

By Michelle Dean
I had the pleasure of taking some beautiful family portraits of the Nicholson family this morning at Shorncliffe. Michelle and Michael are such great parents with their two boys, Finley and Isaac, and their latest addition, Amélie (named after the cult film classic "Amélie" starring Audrey Tautou and Mathieu Kassovitz). We spent the morning running around on the Shorncliffe beach to get the boys warmed up, ready for their family portrait photos.
The family was such a delight to photograph and the children were also very well behaved. Amélie would have to be one of those "dream babies" we all wish for, as she was so agreeable for each photo that was taken; I barely heard a peep out of her with all the fuss going on around her.
Shorncliffe is a lovely spot with so many choice locations for photo opportunities. I love the mix of beach and greenery in these family portraits and I hope that the Nicholson family will enjoy their photos for many years to come.
