About Me
"If anyone is looking for a fantastic photographer who won't let you down then this is definitely your man."
Natural Wedding Photography throughout Rochdale , Oldham , Bury and Manchester
The focus of my approach to wedding Photography has always been about capturing moments as they naturally happen. Weddings are filled with a wide range of emotions and interactions throughout the day that provide an endless amount of moments to capture. Not just the big moments, but also the in-between moments, the moments that go unnoticed by most, but can often be the most powerful. As a wedding photographer I love to capture these moments for my couples.
One of the main values of capturing these moments in a photo, is that when you look back in years to come, they refresh your memories of the day and you are reminded of exactly how it felt to be there.
As well as capturing moments that show what it felt like to be at your wedding, I like to get creative. Creative composition tools (reflections, leading lines, rule of thirds etc) and creative use of light can create added interest to a photo. It can also be used to focus the viewers attention on the story you're trying to show (eg the quiet look of excitement on a brides face during makeup).

As I sat shivering in Shallow Water hide this morning, I though is it really June? Today's chilly wind certainly hasn't made it feel like it. That said there were juvenile Sand Martins perched on the wire fence in front of the hide, a family of Shelducks and of course the ever-growing Osprey chicks to remind us all that summer is here…honest!
The wind and occasional heavy rain showers have made fishing difficult for 5R, but he's overcome the elements to catch two fish for his family so far today. The weather has made life awkward for his mate too; she's been trying to protect her offspring from the worst of the rain, but, as this video shows, that's not very easy now they're as big as they are!
In recent days some of you have asked about the annoying black blobs on the camera. Well, we now have footage of the culprit: a spider. The black blobs are flies that have been caught in its web. Fortunately the spider now appears to have polished them all off!

Certified Tutor
I am an aspiring elementary school teacher who is pursuing an education in childhood development at Los Angeles Trade Technical College, which will set the foundation for my multiple subject teaching credential. I have already completed 39 units of study and have so far maintained a 3.92 GPA. I've tutored ESL and math at various levels and I believe my approach to tutoring is very beneficial to the students. My lessons help students explore information for themselves and then build on existing knowledge that they already have. I'm patient with my students and am willing to explore different ways to approach the subject if my students have trouble understanding. I like to take time to figure out the weaknesses of my students and help them get better at them. I know what it takes to excel academically and I have good interpersonal skills. I enjoy teaching Math because I have a passion for the subject. And I believe that learning math and English should be fun and easy.
When I'm not busy studying, I enjoy watercolor painting, baking and reading YA fiction. Some of my all-time favorite books are Red Queen,and the Harry Potter and Divergent series.

Tutoring Subjects
What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe in approaching problems through various real life examples so that my students can understand them better.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I use the first session to understand the student's learning style. I also use this as an opportunity to assess the student's level of understanding of the subject. And then I use this as a guide for the rest of the lessons.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
At the end of each lesson, I review with my students everything new that they learned and every mistake that we were able to correct. This helps them to identify their weaknesses and works on them to become independent learners.

Iansfoodie is closing – this will be the last post. I won't be deleting the blog but I've decided to broaden the scope of my writings and to start a new food blog.
So – welcome to Bistros and Beetroot.
This blog will have restaurant reviews (mostly in Edinburgh) but also other foodie stuff – recipes and ingredients, commentary, food politics and so on. I also hope to be able to post a bit more regularly than I do here.
My first real posts on Bistros and Beetroots are about courgettes – and what to do with too many of them.

My wife Anne really likes the atmosphere in the Witchery restaurant in Edinburgh so, for her birthday, we arranged a family meal there. The Witchery has several rooms but the Secret Garden is the most atmospheric. You go downstairs to a panelled room with an amazing painted ceiling and doors onto a garden.
The menu is quite short and, in truth, I didn't really fancy any of the starters from the a la carte menu. Rather, I asked for a starter from the fixed price menu – scallop with broad bean, chorizo and spoot (razor clam) cassoulet.
This looked very attractive but, sadly, the quality of the dish didn't live up to its looks. The scallop was like a rubber ball – seriously overcooked and if there were any spoots in the cassoulet, they weren't at all obvious. The chorizo and broad beans were OK but overall, this was a very disappointing dish.
For our mail course, we all had Lamb Wellington – a fillet of lamb wrapped in all manner of things (Serrano ham, mushroom mousse, etc) in a pastry case.
This came perfectly cooked and was met with general acclaim. However, the problem with this dish in general is that you have to use a cut of meet that cooks very quickly and these tend to be a bit lacking in taste. This was no exception – perfectly cooked but overall I found it a wee bit bland.
I didn't have a pudding but tasted both the chocolate tart and the mascarpone and passion fruit trifle. Both were very nice.
The Secret Garden is a lovely restaurant – the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was great. It's worth a visit for the atmosphere alone but, sadly, if my meal was anything to go by, you don't go there for the food. Prices are high (£10 for my starter, £30 for main) and for these prices you can eat far better in Edinburgh.

My wife is still recovering from a knee operation so it's easier for her to go places where we can drive to the door and park the car nearby. That's not so easy in Edinburgh so we decided to go out of town for Sunday lunch. Our first though was the Alan Ramsay hotel in Carlops but that's still 'closed for refurbishment', which seems to be taking an awful long time.
So I googled nearby restaurants and came up with the Old Bakehouse in West Linton, the next village west from Carlops. It had recently been taken over by Tony Singh, who had Oloroso in Edinburgh and who (I'm told) is a chef on the telly. The menu online looked interesting so we thought that we'd go for it.
West Linton is a delightful village between Edinburgh and Biggar which has retained a lot of character and old properties. The Old Bakehouse is on the Main Street and has been a restaurant for a long time. It's been refurbished with a 'country look' – beams, white painted stone and, I'm glad to say, quite a lot of light.
We arrived just before one – it wasn't very busy and we had a table in the Conservatory. The policy is to serve local beers (one I thoroughly approve of) so I had a bottle of one brewed in Peebles as my one and only drink.
As we often do at lunchtime, we ordered two starters rather than a starter and a main course. Mine were haggis, neep and tattie pakora (real fusion food), followed by summer rolls. Anne started with asparagus tart, followed by prawn cocktail.
My pakora was certainly different – basically, a potato ball with a core of haggis and a layer of jeeps. Served with a minty and a spicy dip. Tasty and very filling. I'm told the asparagus tart was very good – I certainly wasn't offered a taste.
Summer rolls had an Asian theme. Basically rice paper rolls stuffed with crispy vegetables, pork and prawns but with lots of fresh herbs that made them zing. They came with a chilli dipping sauce though they were so big, you couldn't really dip them. The prawn cocktail was served with rocket – a good example although I must admit I find this dish a bit dull.
The Old Bakehouse was a great find for us and it deserves to do well. Excellent and imaginative food, a lovely setting, friendly staff and good service – what's not to like? About £30 each for 2 starters each plus coffees. We'll definitely be back.

I wrote about an evening meal that we had in the Anchor Hotel in Johnshaven last December where we really enjoyed the experience. We thought that we'd go back and check it out for lunch as we've plans to take some friends walking on the Aberdeenshire Coastal path that goes through the village. Johnshaven is a traditional East Coast fishing village with a few boats still landing crabs and lobsters.
The upstairs dining room is closed at lunchtime and meals are served in the bar. This is a proper bar rather than a dining room that serves beer – a mixture of local people in for a Sunday lunchtime drink and visitors to the village.
The last time I was there I had some wonderful lobster soup so I opted for that again – it really is superb – better then I've had in rather more expensive seafood restaurants.
Anne ordered breaded mushrooms which were rather more substantial than she expected. I had a taste of these – a great combination of crisp coating and soft, melting mushrooms.
I tend not to eat a lot at lunchtime so I ordered two starters – classic calamari in batter was my other choice.
This was fine – nicely cooked – it's easy to get this dish wrong and end up with rubber rings in batter. But it was just calamari – I regretted not ordering one of the other fish dishes that were being delivered to other tables.
This was great pub food using local ingredients, unpretentious and not expensive. Friendly service – not particularly quick but we certainly weren't in a hurry. Reasonably priced, although seafood is never cheap. We had two starters each and, with a drink, were about £14 each.
If you're in the area, it's worth a short diversion to Johnshaven. And, for coastal path walkers and TGO Challenge coast-to-coast walk finishers, it's worth timing your arrival to have lunch in the pub.

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination based on disability in public accommodations. Private entities covered by title III include places of lodging, establishments serving food and drink, places of exhibition or entertainment, places of public gathering, sales or rental establishments, service establishments, stations used for specified public transportation, places of public display or collection, places of recreation, places of education, social service center establishments, and places of exercise or recreation. Title III also covers commercial facilities (such as warehouses, factories, and office buildings), private transportation services, and licensing and testing practices.
If you feel you or another person have been discriminated against by an entity covered by title III, one of your options is to file a complaint with the federal government. You can file a complaint by using the online form. If you prefer, you can send a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice, at the address below, including the following information:
Sign and send the letter to the address below:
U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Civil Rights Division Disability Rights - NYAVE, Washington, D.C. 20530
The Disability Rights Section of the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division will consider your complaint and inform you of its action. The office will investigate the complaint and determine whether to begin litigation, but will not necessarily make a determination on each complaint about whether or not there is an ADA violation. If the Disability Rights Section believes there is a pattern or practice of discrimination, or the complaint raises an issue of general public importance, it may attempt to negotiate a settlement of the matter or may bring an action in U.S. District Court. Any such action would be taken on behalf of the Unites States. The Disability Rights Section does not act as an attorney for, or representative of, the complainant.
You also have the option of filing your own case in U.S. District Court.
Depending on the nature of your complaint, providing the following additional information would also be helpful to the government's investigation:
Speak to an Attorney about Your ADA Claim
Has a Title III violation interfered with your ability to run simple errands like taking your dog to the groomer or purchasing snacks for your kids? If you or someone you know has been discriminated against in a public accommodation, then you might want to file a Title III complaint. If you need additional help with the complaint process or need more information about discrimination law, then you should speak to an experienced attorney.
Contact a qualified civil rights attorney to help you protect your rights.

Mission creep is an unpleasant condition brought on by a surfeit of military ambition and lack of self-knowledge. Symptoms include fantasy-like delusions such as the highly contagious belief, known as Sarkozy-itis, that the sufferer alone knows what's best for the world. This is typically followed by cold sweats and hot flushes when political reality proves otherwise. Mission creep is not treatable and hindsight is the only cure. It usually ends in disaster.
Such was the case in Vietnam, where President John F Kennedy's decision to increase the number of US "military advisers" to the south Vietnamese regime opened the path to all-out war. Mission creep struck again after the US intervened in Somalia in the early 1990s, producing another debacle. In fact the term was coined at that time by the distinguished Washington Post columnist, Jim Hoagland. Afghanistan since 2001 has been not so much creep as rapid crawl into a military never-never land.
Britain's announcement that it is sending a "military liaison advisory team" of experienced officers to Benghazi to assist the rebels' national transitional council looks like another outbreak of the disease. Foreign secretary William Hague was adamant the British army was not taking charge of the campaign against Muammar Gaddafi. The "advisers" would not be arming, training or directing the rebel forces, he said. To which the world-weary response must be: just give them time.
Britain is now publicly doing what it expressly said it would not do when the no-fly intervention began: putting boots on the ground in Libya. France is taking similar action. Given that the rebel forces have convincingly demonstrated their inability to win on their own, given the sizeable negatives for David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy of an open-ended, inconclusive conflict, and given Barack Obama's flat refusal to do any more, the question now is: how many more British and French boots will follow, sooner or later, in the advisers' fateful footsteps?
It's plain where the pressure for closer, more direct Anglo-French involvement is coming from. Most of Nato, despite numerous joint statements, is sitting this one out. Of its 28 members, 14 are said to be "actively participating" but only six are doing any fighting. Of the 22-country Arab League, whose panicky appeal prompted the UN to authorise the intervention, only Qatar and the UAE have shown up for duty. Excluding them, of the 192 members of the UN general assembly, who all have a legal "responsibility to protect" civilians attacked by their own governments, only Sweden has put its money where its mouth is.
By demanding (with Obama) that Gaddafi and his family relinquish power – and, indeed, by making this so far unlikely outcome the definition of their success – Cameron and Sarkozy have added to the pressures upon them. By suggesting that Benghazi, facing destruction last month by Gaddafi's forces, would have been a new Srebrenica but for the intervention, the allies must now, logically, offer the same level of protection to Misrata and other desperate towns. This may only be achieved by ground-based intervention.
By encouraging and assisting rebel resistance, as George Bush Snr did with the Shias of southern Iraq in 1991, Britain and France risk worsening the plight of the Libyan civilians they are primarily pledged to defend. The UN and concerned aid agencies all agree the humanitarian situation is growing steadily worse, the longer the conflict continues. These considerations have led former British foreign secretary David Owen, among others, to urge the creation of Bosnian or Kurdish-style "safe havens", starting with an exclusion zone around Misrata defended by British and French troops.
But how long before allied troops so deployed were themselves drawn into direct engagements with pro-Gaddafi forces, be they regular army, mercenary or civilian? Pernicious mission creep tends to blind affected decision-makers to such obvious concerns. "Just as Benghazi was saved within hours, so must Misrata be. We have probably only a few days …" Owen wrote in the Times. In other words, don't think about it. Just do it.
Owen's proposal has no official standing, not yet at least. But escalation is in the air – and on the ground. The EU is discussing what it says is an approved "concept of operations" for sending European troops to Libya to protect refugees and humanitarian relief efforts. Nato strike aircraft, unsuited to killing alleyway snipers, are instead widening their target range to include Gaddafi's communication lines and his home town of Sirte. And off the record, nobody bothers to deny that British and other special forces are already operating in theatre. Today's announcement about military advisers is a public acknowledgement of hitherto covert ground-level involvement.
It's worth recalling that UN security council resolution 1973, passed last month, does not authorise member states to support the rebels, to defend armed groups, or to oust Gaddafi. Nor does it authorise an Iraq-style ground invasion or military occupation, in any shape or form, size or scale. But in reality, much of this is now happening, willy-nilly. Make no mistake: the creep is on.

This movie is based loosely on that controversy in a tongue in cheek fashion using the idea that heavy metal can summon the dead. It follows the trials and tribulations of Eddie, a young metal fan who is getting mercilessly bullied at school. His Idol, and heavy metal legend Sammi Curr (who co-incidently went to the same high school many years earlier) dies and Eddie manages to summon his spirit when inadvertantly playing Sammi's last unreleased recording backwards. The returned Sammi Curr then wreaks his revenge on unsuspecting victims and of course it's then up to Eddie to try and stop his Idol Sammi.
This movie is quite watchable if you like 80's Shlock, and 80's heavy metal (which I do), but I'm not sure how others would take it. Honestly, there are a couple of cool little cameos including Gene Simmons (KISS) and of course Ozzy Osbourne perfectly cast as a concerned preacher looking out for the youth of the day, but if you don't like 80's heavy metal this will probably bore the shit out of you. The 80's was a special time full of awesome denim and big hair that now looks so cringe worthy its almost worth watching the film for the fashion horrors alone ... which many of us lived!

As you know, Radon Systems of Indiana is a strong advocate for radon testing in homes, businesses, and schools. In the month of January, we support this by offering our Cash for Testing program, in support of the Environmental Protection Agency naming January as National Radon Action Month.
According to EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin, "testing for radon is the best way to know if people in your home are at risk from this cancer-causing gas. Radon is a problem that can be easily fixed, and I urge all residents to test their homes. If your home is impacted by radon, it is fairly easy to fix."
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer amongst non-smokers – with 21,000 people dying of radon-induced lung cancer each year in the United States. Radon occurs naturally from the decay of uranium in the soil and can accumulate to dangerous levels inside a building. Radon is a nationwide problem that can be found in any building that has ground contact. This includes homes, schools, apartments, condos, commercial buildings, and offices. Even mobile homes and homes and buildings without basements have a potential for having high radon levels.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. Unlike other gasses, it cannot be seen or felt by normal senses. The only way to know if your home has high levels is to perform a radon test. These are specially designed kits take just 48 hours to detect the level of radon that exists in the lowest level suitable for living in the home.
It is important to note that in order to get accurate results, the tests must be administered according to specific protocols set by the EPA and state health departments. The best way to ensure a valid test is to hire a licensed and or certified radon testing professional (Radon Systems of Indiana). Each state has its own set of requirements for radon professionals so it is important to check with your state EPA or Health Department to make sure your professional is fully licensed and certified. Click here to find a licensed professional (or just call Radon Systems of Indiana at 812.842.0728 – we're the only licensed radon mitigation professional south of Indianapolis).

Brown's new supercomputer
In Providence, R.I., Brown University's Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV) is the new home of a multimillion-dollar IBM Supercomputer that researchers will use to tackle challenges ranging from weather data analysis to predict climate change to human genome mapping.
The new supercomputer runs a total of 1,440 microprocessors and can perform more than 14 trillion calculations per second. It is based on three IBM iDataPlex systems, about the size of six refrigerators; an IBM Cluster 1350; and multiple IBM storage systems running General Parallel File System, supported by IBM Global Services.
Brown also runs a about 200 gigaflops of AMD-based Sun Microsystems rack servers, about 100 gigaflops worth of Dell servers and a 40 terabyte Lustre computer cluster. The college is also installing a small GPU cluster , said Sam Fulcomer, assistant director of Brown's CCV.
To cool the dense computing system efficiently, Brown recently installed a water-chiller system and uses APC in row cooling atop legacy raised floors.
In this video, Sam Fulcomer, the assistant director of CCV, demonstrates Brown's new system.
Read the full transcript from this video below:
Brown's new supercomputer
Sam Fulcomer: I'm Sam Fulcomer, associate director at Brown Center for Computation
and Visualization. This is our new IBM I-dataplex high performance
computing cluster. Our initial system has a peak performance of over 14
teraflops, discless nodes for high reliability and quad data rate
infiniband as it interconnects and for all [IO] to and from our GPFS file
system which is contained in racks on the other side of the room. We have
over 400 terabytes of raid disc with fully redundant twin tail hardware
raid controllers and redundant GPFS data access servers. We get
approximately five gigabytes a second, with aggregate data bandwidth across
all 12 of the GPFS servers. All GPFS nodes are connected via ten gigabit,
ethernet and quad data rate infiniband. We can provide data services via
CIFS and NFS over the ten gigabit ethernet interfaces to the rest of the
Interviewer: And so, what are you gonna be using these systems, for
Sam Fulcomer: We're using them for computational science applications in a wide
range of disciplines. Bio-informatics, computational fluid dynamics,
computational electromagnetics, computer vision image processing and many
other image processing applications.
Interviewer: And so, what did you have before you installed this system?
Sam Fulcomer: We had a number of very small clusters, primarily with gigabit
ethernet to mirrornet and one small cluster with a ten gigabit infiniband
interconnect. The new system is between one and two orders of magnitude
more powerful than all of its subsystems. So we have more than ten times
the disc space, more than ten times the disc IO bandwidth rates, between 30
and 40 to almost 50 times the peak processing capability than any dataplex.

Families all around the world are discovering the uniquely valuable investment that a summer camp experience has for their child's social and emotional development.
Summer Camp has the ability to impact and inspire young people to see and become their highest selves; to understand their true potential while practicing respect for self, others, and their environment; to explore leadership, perseverance, self-reliance in a safe, nurturing, yet adventurous and fun place- geared just for kids.
Camp in North America is a long held tradition, and is an excellent option for a child's first cultural immersion experience. Camp is safe, fun, relaxed, and active. The lifelong friendships and bonds formed at camp are exceptional and are the most remarkable about the unique experience.
Summer Camp is indeed a life-changing opportunity that CCUSA has been championing all around the world for over 30 years. Our Camper International Program serves international families who seek a high quality, personalized, and life- changing experience for their child. Investing in a summer camp experience is investing in the social and emotional development of your child. Providing them an English language immersion and weeks of character development through Social Emotional learning is an even greater investment.
CCUSA is uniquely positioned to provide families assistance with every aspect of camp.
I have a conviction that a few weeks spent at a well-organized summer camp may be of more value educationally than a whole year of formal school work.

Starting October 9th, the Legend of Korra will begin airing new episodes exclusively on Nick Toons, starting with episode six, "The Sting". Even more surprisingly, another new episode, "Beginnings Part 1," is scheduled to air the very next day. This might even be troubling news for the show, which as, we reported a week ago, is in a ratings slump. This sudden move might be a result of that, though there is no confirmation from Nickelodeon.
We also don't know if Nick will continue airing new episodes past October 10th (no one has any episode listings for the sho past October 10th), or if they will continue to run new episodes until the show goes on hiatus (as it has done in the past with it's predecessor, Avatar: The Last Airbender). We'll update you with any more information on this developing story.
UPDATE 9/29* Zap2it.com and Comcast both list new episodes of The Legend of Korra for Nick Toons at that exact date (October 9th and 10th). TV Guide.Com only currently lists next week's episode (October 4th "Peacekeepers").
There is a possibility this could be a scheduling error, but most of the schedules listed are following suit that Legend of Korra will air two new episodes on Nick Toons and not Nickelodeon.

I want to stand as close as I can to many things and be able to notice even the tiniest detail. Often it's the details that together make a magnificent whole. In this picture the magnificent whole is the mountain covered with snow and awakened green grass, and the detail is the branch of a pine tree that is visible only in zooming. There is a big distance between them, they are as far and as close – two creations of Mother Nature. Only mountains are big enough to be caught, while a little branch is enough small to be overlooked. Similar to life. Due to daily problems circling around "how to earn, where to spend less" we miss a lot of things that are right in front of us. For instance, this little branch of pine tree whose green color touches up the picture of our being! Friends, let us not miss the details and enjoy everything that is so far and so close as well! For example, my Friday card designed specially for you! Give me a hint if you like it! Grateful in advance!

How To Make Your Own Beauty Products
You often hear that beauty is just skin deep. Your current appearance does have an effect on how people act towards you and what they think of you. That's the reason you have to do everything you are able to, to look great. In this article you will find out how to do that.
Take moisturizer with you by filling a used lip gloss pot or sample jar. This perfectly handy container can be kept anywhere, such your purse, travel bag, car or even the drawer of your work desk. When you feel your skin drying out, apply moisturizer to the affected areas of your face.
You can save polish that has become dried and sticky by adding nail polish remover to the bottle. You only need to use a very small amount. Shake the bottle thoroughly. Adding nail polish remover will allow you to use the nail polish a few more times.
Sunscreen is considered to be the end-all and must-have defender in terms of beauty products. Use products with healthy antioxidants. Those products with nourishing ingredients will benefit your skin in multiple ways.
Rub petroleum jelly into your cuticles every week. This will feed your fingernails and help them grow more quickly. It will also give you the advantage of having your cuticles and nails look healthier. The very first time you try this, you will notice immediate results.
There is scientific evidence that people tend to prefer symmetry over asymmetry. Taking steps to improve the symmetry of your face can make you appear more attractive. No matter what you do to your appearance, whether it is trimming a mustache or applying blush to your cheeks, ensure that your right and left sides remain mirror images.
Use a light moisturizer before applying makeup. Moisturizers are great for your skin but also help spread your makeup evenly. Otherwise, your makeup may appear blotchy. This trick is also great at extending the wearing time of your makeup and keeping you looking fresh.
The follicles being open from either process will cause you some problems. Your skin might itch like mad. Also, avoid scented products after waxing or sugaring, as it can cause irritation as well.
If you want to brighten up your skin during the winter, consider a moisturizer or bronzer with warmer undertones. Both pink or gold ones work well. Use a cosmetics sponge to apply the product to your brow bones and the apples of your cheeks to add a glowing, radiant effect. Stop there; any more and you will just look shiny.
Make sure your eyeliner and lipliner pencils are kept sharp. Not only does this make them easier to apply, it also makes sure they are clean for use. A little trick to getting a great sharp point is to put them in the refrigerator or freezer 10 minutes before you are going to sharpen them.
Do you have trouble with your nailpolish getting chipped? Use a top coat; this will give your nails a shiny, glossy appearance for a week! Make sure not to confuse this with normal clear nail polish, because there is a difference. Therefore, don't purchase clear polish; use top coat.
Drinking milk each day should become an essential part of any beauty regimen you are following. Research has indicated that a glass of milk each day can help your skin and your bones. It is full of protein and it helps increase muscle mass. Milk can also help to maintain your weight at a reasonable level. It's one of the easiest ways to stay beautiful.
No matter how you feel about beauty, you will greatly benefit from looking great. Make sure to take this article and use it, so you can feel beautiful. As you improve your outer appearance, you may find that you even feel better psychologically.

World Energy Use to Increase 53% by 2035, Despite Facebook Changes
Image via eia.gov
Time for a little reality check from the U.S. Energy Information Administration --- or a projection, at least, based on the reality of rising energy use in developing nations like China and India. The EIA projects world energy use will increase by more than half, or 53 percent, by 2035. That's just 24 years from now. China and India are due to account for half of the total growth. Of course, a lot of things could happen by then. Perhaps more of the world will start using less energy, and embrace efficiency and cleaner energy sources. Uh huh.
Much of the world may have missed the release of the International Energy Outlook 2011, especially with those mildly annoying Facebook design changes and important reality show premieres on TV.
Anyway, China alone, which recently became the world's top energy consumer, is projected to use 68 percent more energy than the United States by 2035, according to Acting EIA Administrator Howard Gruenspecht. That's one way for the U.S. to decrease its energy use, relatively.
Key findings from the EIA report:
- China and India lead the growth in world demand for energy in the future;
- Renewable energy is projected to be the fastest growing source of primary energy over the next 25 years, but fossil fuels remain the dominant source of energy;
- Natural gas has the fastest growth rate among the fossil fuels over the projection period (2008-2035);
- World oil prices remain high, but oil consumption continues to grow; both conventional and unconventional liquid supplies are used to meet rising demand.
Putting the renewable energy picture into perspective, renewable energy consumption is project to increase by about 2.8 percent annually, to 15 percent of total energy use by 2035. On the other hand, good ol' fossil fuels will still account for 78 percent of world energy use in 2035.
The EIA notes that policy changes from now until then will affect what happens. So may the next presidential election. Your forecast?

Our Editors spotted this picture and were instantly drawn to it. After all gaining a sense of belonging to a new destination is one of the fundamental joys of travel. It's part of the challenge and makes the tedious aspects of a journey that much more enjoyable.
Sure it is great to experience the newness and buzz of being in an unfamiliar land, surrounded by unknown people, speaking an unrecognizable language; that makes us all feel more alive. But most of our community will concede that there is also a palpable sense of accomplishment once we find ourselves comfortable in a new land. Feeling like we belong to the places we travel to will always make us smile.
I am sure everyone in our Going Global community of Elite Travelers understands that travel is one part mundane, one part mystery. The everyday mundane part however seems more magical in a foreign land. Getting a coffee, riding a subway, buying a book, are all more enjoyable when we're in a new destination. I believe this is because being in unfamiliar surroundings forces us to live in the now. We pay more attention, our sense are more sharp and frankly we tend to be in a better, more open frame of mind.
However – and those of you who read our blog regularly will be expecting a big however – there is another side to this story, and that is the joy of feeling as if you belong. Liking to feel like a stranger and wanting to feel as if you are a part of something may seem hopelessly at odds with one another, however when you break down these emotions you will realize that they are actually complimentary not contradictory. We like the buzz of newness but as people we also crave the comfort of connection. It is nice to feel as if you belong and for the intrepid traveler this is a sign that you are starting to get to know a destination. It is one of the ways we judge our travel skills because we all know that you can't feel connected to an exotic locale by spending all of your time in an international hotel. You have to get out, walk the streets, meet the people and experience both the mundane and magical aspects of a destination.
So what about you? What do you like more, the newness of a place or the feeling that you've come to know it by feeling like you belong?

The Economist Ranks UC Davis MBA in the World's Top Tier
Faculty Quality Ranks No. 15 Globally
(Davis, CA) — The Economist's 2014 Which MBA? Full-Time MBA ranking ranks the UC Davis MBA program among the best the world and the U.S.
Overall, The Economist places UC Davis among the top eight percent of accredited MBA programs in the U.S. UC Davis is No. 39 in the U.S. and No. 68 globally.
The Graduate School of Management's faculty quality is ranked No. 15 globally.
The School also scored in the top tier of several other measures, including:
- No. 23 globally for the percentage of graduates who received a job offer within three months of graduation.
- No. 32 globally for graduates' percentage increase on pre-MBA salary.
- No. 35 globally for student quality.
The Economist solicits input from more than 140 business schools and students/alumni, and then measures and weights the data to calculate the overall rankings. The rankings are based on various components' importance among business students and alumni who graduated within the last three years.
Data were collected during spring 2014, based on two surveys. The first is completed by schools with eligible programs and covers quantitative matters such as the salary of graduates, the average GMAT scores of students and the number of registered alumni. This accounts for around 80 percent of the ranking. The remaining 20 percent comes from a qualitative survey filled out by current MBA students and a school's most recent graduating MBA class.
Memory has been built into the rankings by taking a weighted average of 2014 (50 percent), 2013 (30 percent) and 2012 (20 percent) data to provide a rounded picture of the school.
In addition to the UC Davis Graduate School of Management's consistent rank among the elite MBA programs in the U.S., the global reach of The Economist's results helps raise the visibility of UC Davis among the world's top business schools and MBA candidates, especially in Europe and Asia.

THE REMPHAN STAR. In Freemasonry prior to 1948
When we set eyes upon the Israeli flag, many Christians, especially Zionist Christians, become all pumped up with pride…They say that this is the flag of the 'Chosen of God'…Holy Scripture has a warning which they admonish you with should you say anything derogatory about the Jews…Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
This single verse has frightened more Christians into siding with the Jewish nation than any other…so I now take you where Angels fear to tread…I am not afraid of the truth… because my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (whom the Jews rejected and to this day still vehemently reject) has promised me JN 8:32 "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." I present the facts, and as always I leave you to make up your own minds…
Did you know that the six pointed star is not a Jewish symbol? But is in fact an Egyptian one!
Did you know that there is not one single mention of the "Star of David" in all Holy Scripture?
Take a look at what the very last words of Steven were before he was stoned to death Acts 7:37 "This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear.'
7:38 "This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles to give to us,
7:39 "whom our fathers would not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,
7:40 "saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
7:41 "And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
7:42 "Then God turned and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:
'Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness house of Israel?
7:43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of your god Remphan. Images which you made to worship;
And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.'
And there it is, the admonishing words of our Heavenly Father Himself "You took up the images of the star of the Egyptian god Remphan to worship" … The Egyptian god Remphan is represented in hieroglyphics by six triangles, on a hexagon, producing a hexigraph.
Amos 5:25 "Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings
In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
5:26 You also carried Sikkuth your king
And Chiun (Remphan), your idols,
The star of your gods,
Which you made for yourselves.
Now maybe we can possibly fathom what John was telling us in Revelation…Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Jerusalem being associated spiritually with Sodom and Egypt !!
King Solomon, one of the wisest men ever, built the temple for God; and before the end of his reign he had turned his back on God, caused the division of the 12 tribes and had many hundreds of pagan wives. King Solomon built an altar for Ashtoreth, worshipped her, and also practiced Moloch rituals. 1 Kings 11:1 But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites-
11:2 from the nations of whom the LORD had said to the children of Israel, "You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods." Solomon clung to these in love.
11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
11:4 For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David.
11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
11:6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the LORD, as did his father David.
11:7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon.
11:8 And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
2 Kings 23:13 Then the king defiled the high places that were east of Jerusalem, which were on the south of the Mount of Corruption, which Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.

Tips for Winter Furnace Care
Tips for Winter Furnace Care
Whether you perform your own HVAC maintenance or have a professional do the job, the task tends to surprise us. Didn't I just do that a few months ago? Relax, it's not quite time for a full HVAC tune-up in preparation for summer (it will be here before you know it, though), but it's a great time to make a visual inspection of your furnace. The good news is that HVAC maintenance rarely goes unrewarded. Whether it saves you from future repairs, extends the life of the system or knocks a few bucks off the monthly energy bill, it's almost always worth it. The professionals from Blue Flame Heating & Air Conditioning have a few tips for a proper visual inspection.
A Mid-Winter Checkup
If you didn't skip last fall's furnace tuneup, a mid-winter visual inspection of your HVAC system shouldn't require much time or effort. (If you didn't get around to performing or scheduling your pre-winter inspection, keep reading, this checkup is especially beneficial to you.) There's no need to open up the unit. The goal of this mid-season once-over is to make sure everything is holding up well now that it's in-use.
Visually inspect your unit. Be sure to clear the space around the furnace and clear any objects blocking the air intake. Clean surfaces and search for signs of leaks or damage to the gas inlet pipe and exhaust flue. If you have a pilot light, the flame should be blue. Check that air flows through each vent in the house, and check or replace your thermostat battery.
Reduce Stress, Boost Lifespan
By reducing stress on your HVAC system, you'll often wind up extending its lifespan and saving on energy costs at the same time. Losses in efficiency, such as clogged air filters and leaks in windows and door jambs, force a heater to run longer and use more energy to compensate.
To keep the HVAC system free of undue stress:
- Check your air filter regularly and change it as-needed. If you can't remember to do this, try swapping the filters at a specific time each month. Depending on the season, weather and several other factors, the air filter may require more or less frequent changes.
- Use your thermostat and fans. When leaving the house empty for more than a few hours, turn the temperature down a few degrees and give the furnace and blower a little breather. Run ceiling fans on low so that they pull air toward the ceiling. This circulation helps even out the temperature in the home.
- Acclimate your home to a lower temperature. The ideal winter temperature for each home varies. Some like it cool while others prefer it toasty. Of course, toasty can also mean costly. Instead of making a sudden temperature drop, try gradually dialing back the heat in your home by a degree every two days to allow time for acclimation. Small changes like this can make a big difference, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which reports that a one-degree drop, maintained for eight hours, can lower energy costs by as much as a percent.
- Get control with technology. If you don't already own one, consider a programmable thermostat a no-briner investment. If used properly, these devices can pay for themselves in energy savings in months. Programmable thermostats allow for a finer degree of temperature control, and you won't have to remember to adjust the temperature.
A quick visual inspection, combined with these daily practices can reduce wear and tear on your HVAC system. As always, if you find something that doesn't look right during your visual inspection, fix it sooner rather than later, or schedule a visit from your local HVAC professional. Small problems in the HVAC system usually wind up being expensive fixes if you put them off. Call us today at 206-388-5667 to get set up an appointment today!

We'll be traveling over the next few days to visit Mr. Quimby's family in New Jersey. It's his mother's 80th birthday and 95% of her children and grandchildren will be there - isn't that fantastic ?
We're also staying in a hotel with an indoor pool - which will also be fun for the girls.
This is the most "thrown together" trip we've ever taken. I don't even have a list that we're packing from. Two cute knit dresses for the girls for the party, swimsuits for the pool, some sort of clothes for us, a couple diapers and that's it. The hotel is close to a pizza place and a convenience store, so I figure we can buy most anything else we need.
It's a good practice for Mr. Quimby and I in winging it. (But already it feels a little uncomfortable.)
I've got some drafts saved that just need some minor editing before being posted, so I hope I can get to them. If not, there will be a little bit of back-dating come Sunday night !

John P. Delaney's series titled "Golden Eagle Hunters of Mongolia" garnered him one of the International Photography Awards' most coveted prizes. His work was chosen out of nearly 22,000 submissions spanning 124 different countries. Delaney is also a Master Printer working closely with photographers such as Bruce Davidson, Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Klein, Annie Leibovitz and Irving Penn.
With the Golden Eagle Hunters of Mongolia, Delaney presents a rich and beautiful collection of portraits and landscapes that capture an intimate glimpse of the ancient way of life for the nomadic Kazakh tribe, who date farther back than the 15th century and are once again in danger of being eradicated.
Among many Kazakh traditions is the ancient art of hunting with trained birds of prey. The tradition is believed to originate in Central Asia some 6000 years ago and was adopted in Europe and other countries. Historical chronicles relay records of Kublay Khan's lavish hunting trips in autumn and winter involving thousands of people and horses, with falconers in the thousands.
Kazakhs catch and train golden eagles, common throughout Central Asia. These huge birds weigh up to 15 pounds, and have wingspan of seven or eight feet.

Moving from one identity to another.
A lot of people on the Internet know me as LeaPetra. There is a long history with that Internet handle. Before I seriously took my writing from hobby to profession (still need my day job, damn) I signed up with Twitter with that name.
Now, with over 1500 followers the question is; Was that the right thing to do?
Author branding, that phrase gets thrown around a lot now-a-days. Some people are scared when they see it, some shrug. I thought about it. I am familiar with branding, where I work, everything we do is a reflection on the image the store wants to promote. And we are told that is exactly why we do things a certain way, why we say certain phrases, etc.
So what is your brand? At it's simplest, it's your public face. The image you want complete strangers to have of you. The polished look, if that is what you want.
Some people take personal branding to the extreme. Look at Lady Gaga; she has a certain look, a certain attitude, all in the public eye. But I will bet you that if she wants some privacy, she will do nothing special to her hair, wear no make up, throw on jeans and a t-shirt and NO ONE will recognize her. Her outrageous look gives her a bit of freedom in her private life.
You do not have to go that intense. Terry Pratchett has his beard and hat. Neil Gaiman has his black t-shirts. Willie Nelson had his ponytails (fans mourned when he cut them off). Simple little things that will always be associated with you.
So what the heck does this have to do with LeaPetra?
Simple, that was my brand, so to speak, when I wanted to be unknown. It was my safe name. And now, my real name is being connected with that one. Which might cause some issues when I get famous (think positive!). But nothing that should harm my image, besides if it becomes controversial, embrace it and use it.
Now I am getting my real name out there. Slowly Mari Miniatt is becoming more noticeable than LeaPetra, and LeaPetra has over ten years of internet time backing it up. My twitter account is the nice bridge between the two. I do have a twitter feed, that I do nothing with, for Mari Miniatt. I will admit I am sitting on that one, you know, just in case.
So what is my brand? Me, just me. What you see is what you get. I did make a decision to wear t-shirts, either homages to my heroes and mentors, or ones I decorated myself. I could wear outrages items, but why. I would feel uncomfortable, and it would show. Otherwise, nothing special.
The hardest part was using my real name. I hid behind LeaPetra. But now I have to come out and let the world know who I am. I not really a shy person, but extroversion is hard for me. This was a big step.
I could have stuck with LeaPetra, I realize that now. I think I will save that for some special niche writing. Or something else. LeaPetra isn't going away, she's just has to share the light with the person behind the curtain now.

Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza says the election of Donald Trump as president won't stop his Rhode Island city from standing up for residents who are in the country illegally.
Elorza said Monday he's talked with the mayors of Los Angeles and New York and is joining dozens of cities promising to protect immigrants from being deported for minor violations.
Providence has refused to hold people charged with civil infractions for federal immigration officials.
Rhode Island
The latest news from around the state
Elorza, whose parents emigrated from Guatemala, says he will continue the policy even if Trump fulfills a campaign promise to pull money from cities that don't cooperate with federal deportation measures.
The Democratic mayor says he's encouraged by recent statements from Trump suggesting that the incoming president's focus will be on deporting people only if they have criminal records.

Having seen Swanny as a team cap'n on Question of Sport think he ought to up his game, aim for the chair and find two really combative team captains..
Fashion icon
"Great couple of days down in London working out what to do in the future. Very exciting stuff." tweets Swann "no offers for swimming trunk modelling yet though which is a trifle mystifying" I think they'd seen the beach shots with Jim. Best to stick to woollies

Media is a huge part of my life. I use it for personal and for business use. I'm active on most social media platforms daily and this has become a important part of my existence as a blogger. I have an open profile on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedn, Pinterest, etc. So, not only do a feel the need to constantly update my blog but also the accompanying platforms as well. It can be rather overwhelming but doing so has increasingly become important to me while trying to build a brand. I went to a fashion event last week and you should have seen me juggling between my big camera and my cell phone while trying to take good shots that can be used for a blog post later and actively posting different updates to Facebook and Twitter- engaging my followers and the retailers/designers participating in the event.

Because these tasks are a huge part of my life, they have also affected the way that I view certain events in a couple of different ways. First, major events displayed on media outlets such as the internet, television and newspapers are no longer seen as just a story. To me, I see them as stories with several sides to them but most importantly as see them as how I feel that they would be reacted to on social media. I can remember seeing news stories and listening to them while thinking, "wow, people on Facebook and Twitter are going to have a field day with this one." On the other end, after the story breaks, I see so many different perspectives on an issue that I sometimes allow myself to become a bit lazy and allow others to influence my opinion of it.
Until next time…
Don't forget to "like" me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, on Instagram and in your inbox!

"There is a terrible desperation to the increasingly pathetic rationalizations from the climate denial camp. This comes as no surprise if you take the long view; every single undone paradigm in history has died kicking and screaming, and our current petroleum paradigm 🐉🦕🦖 is no different. The trick here is trying to figure out how we all make it to the new ⚡ paradigm without dying ☠ right along with the old one, kicking, screaming or otherwise." - William Rivers Pitt

The Law Shop is now closed. Please click here to find out more.
In legal terms to establish a case of educational negligence, the claimant must be able to prove three conditions.
The first of these is that the person who is being accused of the negligence (for example, a teacher or headmaster) is responsible for providing the child with care and has a duty towards the child's education.
Secondly, it must then be proved that the person accused has breached this duty and not provided the level of education that they could have reasonably been expected to provide. Finally, it must then be established that as a result of this failure on the part of the accused, the child has suffered a recognisable loss.
In July 2000 the House of Lords passed a judgement that allowed more people to bring forward claims for compensation resulting from educational negligence. This judgement states that compensation may be sought from a local Authority (LA) for negligence if that authority can be shown to have failed in its Common Law Duty of Care to carry out its duties properly. However, this does not apply to duties handed down to the LA by legislation which is subsequently not carried out. Decisions made by the LA that are based on policy are also unlikely to be able to bring a claim, but claims that show a negligent action not to be a direct effect of policy can be pursued. The school or LA can be held accountable for the actions of a negligent staff member only if it can be shown that that staff member was not acting in accordance with practices that are accepted by reputable professional bodies.
There are however strict time limits to claims being brought. A young person must make no longer then three years to file a claim after their eighteenth birthday has passed. A claim can be made after this time period only if the claimant receives significant information, such as a diagnosis of dyslexia, after the three years has passed. For a case like this it is important that the claimant has kept a large number of educational and school records. Claims can be brought forward while the child is still attending school, but it is hard to show evidence of any long term damage caused by negligence until after the educational period has been completed.
Because negligence claims are lodged by a process of litigation in a court, the importance of strong evidence on the part of the claimant is very important. It should also be noted that successful claims are rare and generally expensive and out of court settlements are viewed as being the quickest and easiest route to success.
