Thinking about the Lakin case
It rained in D.C. today, which means I got to spend a lot of time in my car this evening. While trying to drive home, my mind turned to the Lakin case. And my unexpected reaction to thinking about the case was to become sad.
I don't know LTC Lakin, but I've seen his video and listened to him on the G. Gordon Liddy show. While I have no way of knowing, I believe that he's sincere. Deeply misguided and credulous, sure, but sincere.
The man is a physician and has been selected for promotion to colonel — obviously he's intelligent and well-educated. So assuming he's sincere, then it seems to me one of two things must be true: (1) he thinks that his court-martial will compel the release of some or all of the documents concerning President Obama that LTC Lakin would like to see; or (2) he knows there isn't any realistic chance that he'll obtain the documents he seeks and he wants to martyr himself for his cause, perhaps thereby furthering political efforts, like that passed by the Arizona House of Representatives today, to compel production of documents concerning President Obama's citizenship.
Let's look at why there's no realistic chance that the court-martial discovery process will result in the production of any of the documents LTC Lakin seeks. First, I assume there will be a court-martial. One reason I assume that is because LTC Lakin appears to want to be court-martialed, which substantially reduces the likelihood that the case will be diverted to some alternative disposition. Actions such as his by a lieutenant colonel also merit a general court-martial.
Once his case has been referred to a GCM, LTC Lakin's counsel will likely ask the trial counsel to issue subpoenas for the production of documents from non-parties, such as the state of Hawaii, and will probably seek a subpoena to compel the testimony of President Obama. The trial counsel will refuse. The defense will then litigate the issue before the military judge. The military judge will (correctly) rule that none of the requested documents or witnesses is relevant to the issue of whether any orders issued to LTC Lakin were lawful. The military judge will, therefore, deny the defense discovery motion. The defense will probably challenge that ruling via petitions for extraordinary relief, which will be denied. The case will then go to trial. But if LTC Lakin wants to challenge the discovery rulings on appeal–and presumably his decision to miss movement and disobey orders is a vehicle to obtain that discovery, so he'll want to appeal the ruling–he'll have to be sentenced to either a dismissal or a year or more of confinement. Will we see the spectacle of the defense requesting a dismissal in order to appeal the discovery rulings?
Let's say he is sentenced to a dismissal and/or a year or more of confinement — not because he asks for it, but because the fact finder concludes that's the appropriate punishment. (BTW, will LTC Lakin choose to go judge alone or elect trial by a panel of O-6s and perhaps general officers?) His case will then go to ACCA, which will affirm the military judge's discovery rulings. LTC Lakin will then file a petition for review at CAAF. If the only real issue in the case is the discovery issue, then I suspect CAAF would deny review. And that would mean no opportunity for LTC Lakin to seek cert from the Supremes.
By the time military appellate review is complete, LTC Lakin's period of confinement would almost certainly have run, thus eliminating his opportunity to file for habeas. But let's say that his case didn't qualify for military appellate review, but he did receive some confinement. After he filed and lost an Article 69 appeal, he could file a petition for habeas corpus in the district where he is confined. But if he's at the USDB, his case would be governed by the extremely narrow scope of review that the 10th Circuit has adopted for collateral attacks of court-martial convictions. See Lips v. Commandant, U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, 997 F.2d 808 (10th Cir.1993). Under that scope of review, he wouldn't be able to obtain review of the merits of the discovery rulings. Nor would it be likely that he would ever be able to seek Supreme Court review of such a habeas challenge, since his release from confinement would moot a habeas action and it's unlikely that he would receive a sufficiently lengthy sentence to remain in confinement beyond the amount of time it would take to obtain a ruling on his Article 69 appeal plus a ruling from the district court, much less from the court of appeals.
LTC Lakin could seek collateral review of his court-martial conviction through a Tucker Act proceeding, but once again the scope of review is exceedingly narrow. See, e.g., Bowling v. United States, 713 F.2d 1558, 1561 (Fed. Cir. 1983).
So there's almost zero chance that LTC Lakin will succeed in obtaining any of the documents he seeks. By all accounts, LTC Lakin has had an outstanding career as an Army doctor, including service for 16 months as a squadron flight surgeon in Afghanistan. And that's what saddened me. He's throwing away that outstanding career with no realistic chance that the court-martial discovery process will ever result in the production of the documents he seeks.
Knowing that LTC Lakin is a well-educated, intelligent officer, does that suggest that he's consciously engaging in civil disobedience as a political device? Or have his legal advisors provided him with an unrealistic assessment of the likelihood that he will either: (a) succeed in using the court-martial discovery process to obtain the documents he seeks; or (b) be found not guilty by a court-martial? (Based on the pictures on Paul Rolf Jensen's new web site, it appears that Mr. Jensen was already advising LTC Lakin when he taped his video explaining that he is "inviting my own court-martial" by choosing to disobey orders, including an order to deploy to Afghanistan.)

I suppose you're right. I have a hard time feeling sympathy for the birthers. Most of them won't accept information. They want to believe what they believe, even if you show them they are in error.
As for military birthers, Major Cook says he has been in touch with Lakin.
Major Cook was actually promoted recently.
He goes by 'roaddog727' at Free Republic. Birther through and through. His comments:
I would add to CAAFlog's roadmap that we might also see Dr. Lakin try to obtain habeas before the completion of appellate or Art 69 review if he is in confinement (good luck) or plain old 28 USC 1331 collateral review in district court if he is not.
Looks like at least 31 Arizona state representatives are sympathetic to LTC Lakin's cause:
Your post reminds me of something I read in Neil Sheehan's book The Arnheiter Affair (I think you made me read it). Toward the end of the book, Sheehan tries to explain why a former battleship CO with a promising future sacrificed his own career viability in a public defense of a rightfully ruined LCDR Arnheiter. Sheehan recounts how another senior naval officer said that some officers go through long and successful careers, and then–as if it had been the point all along–pick some irrational cause for which to "drink their cup of hemlock." That observation (and it's more observation than explanation) struck me as consistent with a few cases I've seen. We've all had to ask ourselves "do I really want to die on this hill?" I can't fathom why LTC Lakin decided this was the time to answer yes.
Dwight- While I agree with your analysis regarding how this will proceed- you are spot on- I dont really feel the sadness. I have a healthy respect for self determination. I believe people should be free to make stupid choices, even ill informed and obviously self destructive. I can't waste my pity or sadness on them. There are a large number of people who are worthy of pity and sadness- this guy is not one of them.
BTW any Army medical corps officer who hangs around long enough will get promoted- it is not a selection for promotion, just a longevity bonus.
If anything, I can thank LTC Lakin for his actions which triggered a very informative over view of the military appellate process. Thanks Mr. Sullivan for your thoughts!
Don't feel sorry for the guy at all. The command has bent over backwards to not court-martial this guy so far and he has continued on.
He's a grown man, apparently not insane (although certainly crazy) and he goes to the old adage that education does not equal intelligence, or common sense.
This is so ridiculous. I could understand folks protesting against the war. At least one can understand their side of it, and in some ways even agree with it, if not their decision to betray their oath.
But this? Something so patently ridiculous and wrong to anyone with half a brain? Yeah, I have no sympathy for him at all.
Fantastic post setting out the way ahead in vivid detail. I know what you mean re: feeling sad. Were he an E-3 rather than an O-5 (P) physician I would be convinced he was being exploited by others with a political agenda; as it is, though, he is clearly acting on his own and, as you say, apparently out of conviction. My feelings are a mixture of sadness, revulsion, and disbelief that someone of his rank and experience would pull something like this. It's been a rough couple of years for the Army Medical Corps (Walter Reed, MAJ Hasan, etc.). LTC Lakin's seniority and the publicity surrounding his stance clearly ramps up the PGOD aspect of this case. I predict dismissal due to this matter in aggravation.
Some pretty obvious racial components to "roaddog727's" posts.
Also the silly belief that both of President Obama's parents must have been American citizens for him to be president, proof yet again that this isn't just about a birth certificate, even a birth certificate wouldn't be enough for these folks, his Dad wasn't American, his mom was *gasp* liberal and liked to date guys who were…ahem…not like her.
Col Sullivan, that must have been some drive! I'd have to drive from Bolling to Camp Pendleton to complete that thought chain.
My typical commute inner monologue usually goes something like "meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow" to the Cat Chow tune.
Certainly do agree with your legal analysis. However, the opening premise needs to be questioned. I have represented too many physicians to grant that class of professionals the mantle of "intelligent." Yes, you would hope so but it is often far from the truth, at least beyond their tight little world of medicine.
I suddenly have this weird craving for kibble.
That is one hilarious (unintentionally I assume) website.
And the idea of half a million for the attorney fund? Wow.
They raised it to half million? It was $50k the other day. It looks like they want to milk the Birthers while they can. It makes me wonder how much the other birther lawyers raked in as well.
I, for one, have grown weary of seeing the Army fold like a house of cards whenever it receives any publicity for someone missing movement as some sort of "statement." It's time to go to the mat on one of these guys. Folks like this inevitably piss me off: First, there is going to be some other poor schlub who is getting notified he's deploying in the colonel's place; second, there is already a doc shortage…no matter what your political stripe failing to do one's duty to make some arbitrary political point that has been REPEATEDLY disproven is aggravating beyond belief. All of you officers out there: you took an OATH well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon you have been appointed. Even in our cynical age, it is a sacred thing.
Some who take an oath to "defend the Constitution" are willing to go beyond the call of duty.
If the Courts and the Congress will not hold the DNC, state election officials, and the candidate himself, accountable for apparently fraudulent Certification letters from DNC Nominating Convention Chair Nancy Pelosi, who will take responsibility?
"We're evading it", so said Justice Thomas to Rep. Jose Serrano at a recent hearing. Is this a mythical case where not a single citizen or entity has "judicial standing"? An unthikable reality? Not so.
Those who denigrate political debate with scornful labeling have not read the legal essay by Alexander Porter Morse in the N.Y. Albany Law Review: NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES: ELIGIBILITY FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT (VOL 66, 1904-1905). It is historically rewarding!
Thanks for the exact quote. I shouldn't have used quotation marks without having the book out here. I hope they were understood to denote a euphemism.
Having worked with many doctors over the years, it's more the case that their intelligence has a narrow focus. One of the myths (and classic logical fallacy) is that if someone is intelligent in one aspect of their life, it means they're intelligent in all aspects. I've met enough brilliant doctors and scientists over the years to know that isn't the case. They were great in their field, but outside of that, you wondered if they'd ever learned to tie their shoes.
For a more contemporary discussion and historical review, one should also review Charles Gordon, Maryland Law Review: "WHO CAN BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: THE UNRESOLVED ENIGMA" (Vol 28, 1968),
Jill Pryor, Yale Law Journal: THE NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN CLAUSE AND PRESIDENTIAL ELIGIBILITY: AN APPROACH FOR RESOLVING TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF UNCERTAINTY (Vol 97, 1988).
Jack, it's refreshing to see a birther admit that the Lakin case is all about "political debate." Truly, there is no higher purpose for the military justice system than to be used as a tool to advance a partisan agenda.
@Jack Grogan,
Leaving aside the whole tenor of your diatribe which basically states that everyone is "is on it".
Lets take one piece shall we?
"We're evading it", so said Justice Thomas to Rep. Jose Serrano at a recent hearing.
And what pray tell does the ACTUAL background of that story have to do with the current POTUS….?
Answer nothing, nada, bugger all, squat etc.
The good Justice was answering a very specific point about the POTENTIAL issues that MAY arise if an NBC, born in Puerto Rico, such as to Rep. Jose Serran, was running for President.
This falls out of the specific status of Puerto Rico not being a wholly subsumed and individual state of the USA (not one of the "several" states) but an Unincorporated Organized Territory.
Last I checked, Hawai'i is a state and was at the time and date of birth of Obama.
Justice Thomas's response was meant to be jocular but as is inevitable in Birther Land, humor is a foreign (and probably Communist/Nazi/Socialist) sentiment.
He was also giving a back handed reminder to the Rep that the SC doesn't pass laws, it hears and rules on cases on the Constitutionality of laws. So, unless a case is presented to them, they can't rule on it, ergo "dodging it".
Jack Grogan speaks like a true birther.
BTW, the Serrana/Thomas thing is a running joke between them. This video is from April, 2009. Serrano jokes in his opening remarks (maybe about 1:15 or 1:30 mark) about SCOTUS deciding if he can run for President.
There is no fraud. There is no big conspiracy. I might be entertained with Glenn Beck should he use his magic blackboard and list everyone that birthers believe to be involved:
The Supreme Court
Democratic Party
Governor of Hawaii
Department of Health
Judge Land
Judge Carter
Dick Cheney (after all, he didn't ask for objections)
The list goes on and on and on.
Every single thing the birthers have brought up has been debunked, including several fake birth certificates.
Their "experts" have been discredited. Techdude gave himself a resume. Well, he stole one from the internet.
Polarik doesn't have the qualifications he claimed either. When he was 'outed', he slunk away.
Lucas Smith has a criminal history of fraud and forgery! Smith is so low as to attempt to extort money from a dying man:
Again, the list goes on and on and on.
Birthers choose to believe. And, when shown to be wrong, they just move the goalpost. Lakin is the current fool.
First they believed the military would never court martial Lakin. That the birth certificate would be released (like it hasn't already been!) to avoid a trial.
Then they said the court martial was all part of the big plan. It's about Lakin getting Discovery during the court martial.
And now there is talk of the big plan after Lakin loses.
Because they need to move their goalpost. It's an ongoing thing.
worth reading Strunk (former USAF) short legal/constitutional oath of office rant in his Motion to reconsider denial of intervention by USDC Chief Judge Lamberth in Lamberth attempt at jocularity in declining to tilt with windmills and the BO eligibility issue
Why do u consider something as simplistic as Colonel Lakin demanding that obama show proof of natural born citizenship status in oder to be constitutionally qualified to be POTUS??…Is this not the duty ansd responsibility of every american who took an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic so help me God??..You are like soo many who have made post to this story that would rather save ur ass or ur career than expose a fraud and a usurper in the White House..The evidence against obama is beyond doubt..There is NO DOUBT whatsoever he is a fraud and not even an american citizen..If every high ranking military officer would demand to see proof from obama of his birth certificate, it would happen in the next 10 minutes..I applaud Colonel Lakin and wish him Gods' speed..He is a true american patriot and not some arm chair flunky as urself who wouldnt have the spine or guts to stand up next to a school yard bully…Your pathetic as is most of the people on this blog leaving such negative comments!!
You mean Chris Strunk, in esse? LOL!
He is a nuisance.
My favorite is when he has a stamp made for his documents. See page 25.
Strunk's own folder at Scribd:
Part of an Interview on YouTube.
Illuminati and all.
yes, now that you mention it, Chris is the same person who states to Judge Lamberth (as I hope counsel for Col. Lakin also states during his trial) as follows:
"4. As for the Court's use of the adjective quixotic behavior that is noble in an absurd way or the desire to perform acts of chivalry in a radically impractical manner, neither Plaintiff nor Declarant believes that fighting to save the sovereignty of the nation under our great constitution is either absurd or impractical. It should be noted that Cervantes had enlisted as a soldier in a regiment of the Spanish naval elite corps, Infantería de Marina, stationed in Naples, then a possession of the Spanish crown. He was there for about a year before he saw active service. 5. That the Don Quixote story is more than mere reference by Cervantes to himself in his own military exploits, in fact were informed by the heroic exploits of the Jesuit Basque Ignatius Loyola whose distinguished service in both the Spanish Court and to the Jesuit company of the Pope's militia was really the model for Don Quixote in considering the Jesuit contemporary of Cervantes as a devout Catholic. 6. Perhaps metaphorically quixotic may be a true expression of any federal court action
today that attempts to defend the chimera of the U.S. Constitution as the Court suggests, for the Jesuits like Cervantes would revile the premise of the underlying protection of the individual granted in the U.S. Constitution, which are the principles Plaintiff and Declarant fight for. 7. That the term quixotic special meaning that does not apply to Declarant as to that militia the Jesuits and their collective whom I fight openly without dicing words. 8. That chivalry is not gone as the Court suggests; and to the contrary exists in just the same way as when Barry Goldwater declared in the 1964 convention "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." he was merely quoting Cicero two millenniums thereafter, just like JFK had rhetorically stated "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country" came
from a Warren Harding convention speech too flowed from early history. Wherefore, Declarant urges the Court to reconsider what we endeavor to do as worthy of the Court's grant of relief as in keeping with the Court's oath of allegiance, and that Declarant's intervention without substantive due process be stricken from the judgment as premature until say June 17, 2010 when I am obliged to speak freely; and that Declarant requests other and different relief that the Court may deem necessary. /s/ Dated: April 20th , 2010 Brooklyn, New York _________________________________

I need to buy shares in tin foil.
— not knowing much about your shares of tin foil, but finally begin sorting out the various foreign interest collaborators using say the Logan Act. i.e. sort of an IFF treason detection device (identify the made-in-the-USA natural born citizen "friend" from the foreign dual-citizenship born agent "foe" — at least as far as the office of POTUS/CINC is concerned.)
comparing the court martials of colonels Lakin and Billy Mitchell
A scene taken from Mitchell's court-martial, 1925. This scene was recreated for the 1955 movie "The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell"In response to the Navy dirigible Shenandoah crashing in a storm, killing 14 of the crew, and the loss of three seaplanes on a flight from the West Coast to Hawaii, Mitchell issued a statement accusing senior leaders in the Army and Navy of incompetence and "almost treasonable administration of the national defense."[21] In November 1925 he was court-martialed at the direct order of President Calvin Coolidge. Frank Reid served as Mitchell's chief counsel.
The youngest of the judges was Major General Douglas MacArthur, who later described the order to sit on Mitchell's court-martial as "one of the most distasteful orders I ever received."[22] Of the thirteen judges, none had aviation experience and three (including Major General Charles Pelot Summerall, the original president of the court) were removed when defense challenges revealed bias against Mitchell. Among those who testified for Mitchell were Edward Rickenbacker, Hap Arnold, Carl Spatz and Fiorello La Guardia. The trial attracted significant interest, and public opinion supported Mitchell.[23] However, the court found Mitchell guilty of insubordination, and suspended him from active duty for five years without pay.[3] The generals ruling in the case wrote, "The Court is thus lenient because of the military record of the Accused during the World War."[24] MacArthur later claimed he had voted to acquit, and Fiorello La Guardia claimed that MacArthur's "not guilty" ballot had been found in the judges'
anteroom. [25] MacArthur felt "that a senior officer should not be silenced for being at variance with his superiors in rank and with accepted doctrine."[22] The case was presided over by Major General Robert Lee Howze,[26] who replaced Summerall. Mitchell resigned instead, as of February 1, 1926, and spent the next decade writing and preaching air power to all who would listen.[3] However, his departure from the service sharply reduced his ability to influence military policy and public opinion.
Concerned Americans Have Good Reason to Doubt that Putative President Obama Was Born in Hawaii.
Every lawyer plays the "good case / bad case" game. The procedural Kabuki theater ritualism of American law invites all sorts of mental contortionism, its purpose invariably to enable the lawyer in question to use language for what Orwell had described as political purposes, "…to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
That lawyers hold physicians in contempt is understandable. To the medico, things are always simple, at base, no matter how complex they may appear. Like anyone else who works in the sciences, the purpose of every inquiry is to tunnel down to the fundamental simplicity at the base of everything in the phenomenal world, and upon getting that understanding, take such actions as are possible to get better results for someone in trouble.
Not so the lawyer. Which is, I suppose, one of the reasons why so very, very many of America's successful (they get elected, they evade indictment, they make off with bucketloads of money for themselves, and they ruin their enemies) politicians are lawyers, not doctors.
Again and again and again in the case of Barry Soetoro (née Barack Hussein Obama) and his qualification as a "natural born citizen" to have stood for, been elected to, and exercise the powers of the office of President of these United States, those of us trained and inclined and practiced in seeking the fundamental simplicities at the base of all objective reality have tended to press for open and lucid analytical consideration of a situation that is, in truth, about as simple as what most Americans go through every time he applies for a passport, or seeks to renew a driver's license.
If such an average American can be expected to produce certified physical documentation of this nature – not an allegedly scanned-from-the-original JPG image but a physical item which can be submitted to analysis by trained and experienced forensic document analysts who are prepared to utter under oath attestations as to their opinions of that document's provenance and validity – why can the current occupant of the White House who is exercising the authority of the U.S. military's Commander-in-Chief not take the same action?
Behind the lawyerly bafflegab of Mr. Soetoro's proponents in the legal profession, there is an effort to deceive, to dissemble, and "…to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
Members of the medical profession aren't like that. LTC Lakin is an example of that. When members of the medical profession begin thinking and behaving like members of the legal profession, then we will no longer have a "health insurance crisis" because people will no longer trust medical doctors to have their patients' best interests in mind, and will not seek their care until they are literally at death's door and nothing worse can happen to them than that they die in agony.
The legal profession has already achieved this, as is being proven by the lawyerly support of Barry Soetoro and his still quite unconstitutional presidency.
Tucci78, you are a nut.
Hawaii officials have confirmed that Obama was born in Hawaii and has a valid birth certificate. This would be good enough to establish "natural born status" and citizenship for anyone in any court of law.
Reporters have examined Obama's certified birth certificate on file in his office.
2 Honolulu newspapers, who got their information from local hospitals, printed Obama's birth notice.
There is no eveidence that Obama was born in Kenya. His Kenyan grandmother has denied it.
And, even if Obama was born in Kenya, his mother was a United States citizen and this establishes his "natural born" status according to current law.
Congress unanimously agreed that Obama was born in Hawaii and certified his election.
There is no reason Obama has to indulge any crackpot group at this point.
And what the hell difference would it make if somehow the birthers claims were true and somehow Obama could be forced out of office? A President Biden would be an improvement?
And arguing over Constitutional interpretation is a fool's game. What matters, as a practical matter, is what the government thinks the Constitution means, not what you do.

Lowercase Tee
No kids, this isn't a scarlet letter and you're not being banished. For no apparent reason, this company has decided to print an extremely large lowercase "a" on the front of a shirt, followed by the rest of the alphabet in tiny letters. This is good for me because I'm actually quite biased for lowercase.
I have to say, I am becoming quite a fan of Ugmonk tees. Simple, yet fun. This one is no exception.Tags: t-shirts, tees, mens, mens fashion, funny, screenprints, graphic T, women's designerAdded 9 Years Ago from Ugmonk

The Russian-inspired name owes to my starting Vladimir Sorokin's Day of the Oprichnik. The first couple of pages carry more tiny visual details than human memory can hold. We'll see whether the book has more to offer than a baroque sense of atmosphere.
I bought it because I liked the title and the cover. Call it instinct; most of the time you can judge a book by its cover. On the subject of covers, check out Lousy Book Covers if you haven't already.
Do you self-publish? My advice is, don't skimp on the cover. You don't want to make yourself a laughing stock.
Set some money aside and find a skilled person to do your cover design for you. Once upon a time (two weeks ago), a lady who shall remain anonymous suggested that you should "marry a graphic designer," for which kind of advice the Spanish Inquisition used to burn people at the stake.

Now, that "New Transparency" thing. Technological advances like Google Glass concern me, mainly because I'm seeing overly enthusiastic reactions to another potential limitation on personal freedom and privacy. I'd like to ask the anti-privacy advocates: Can I have your email password? May I come watch you as you sleep?
Chances are you believe in privacy, because you wear clothes and your windows feature curtains. Also, you don't want to give me your email password, do you? You've just been sold on the notion that privacy is a throwback to pre-technological times.
This is not so. Privacy is by and large an invention of the 19th and 20th centuries. We used to sleep all huddled together in caves, damn it. And then in one-room houses, huts, call them what you will. Privacy is a conquest, a triumph of personal space, and the rise of privacy coincides with the dawn of the individual. A fully transparent citizenry, living 24/7 under the Panopticon's glare, is a danger to you as a person. To your freedom of speech and self-expression; no less your right to be wrong in public without incurring perpetual ostracism.
Now the Panopticon comes to the streets, taking the terror of constant surveillance to eye-level.
Surveillance camera man has gone to great lengths to show us why the omnipresence of video cameras is abusive and disruptive. If this performance piece doesn't touch you in bothersome places, I don't know what will.
Progress comes in two flavors: Quantitative and qualitative. Which kind does Glass represent?

This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.

January 20, 2012
Anyway, back to the grocery shopping. We went in and toured the entire store, going up and down each of the isles. By the time we were finished, Jason was pretty worn out. I kept asking him if he wanted to stop, but he wanted to finish looking at all the things in the store. We didn't buy that much, but we did get what we needed and the important thing is that we had a good time.
After the shopping trip we came back home and Jason got into his recliner and took a short nap. I finished putting away the groceries and then I kicked back too. It gave me a chance to do a little reading, and also take a look at my email, something I don't normally do until later in the day. It was just a nice easy going relaxing day. This is when Lynn came over and Jason got back into his wheelchair, and then walked the house with Lynn. I was very impressed as she checked everything and each room, to make sure it would accommodate Jason, and he would be able to do whatever he needs to do. For example, it is important that he have front loader wash machines (and we do); and, that the shower is set up correctly for him. Her visit took over an hour, and she took several notes, and said she would be working on getting some things improved. I was happy and so was Jason.
We had hamburgers for dinner, and they were good. I know this may sound a little strange, but he and I both like green peas, so the two of us finished off a can of those too. We talked for awhile, and then called it a day. Tomorrow, along with going back to the pet store, we are planning on going to a movie. It will be the first one he has gone to, so I hope it all works. If we do go, I might not be able to get to tomorrow's blog post until later, so don't wait up and catch it in the morning.
Thank you, for all the support and prayers being sent our way. Knowing there are those out there who don't even know us, and yet still support us is wonderful.

I'm so glad that things are going so well for Jason. You're an awesome Dad to be there for him every step of the way. Everybody's lives were changed from the instant our hero was injured, and you've handled things with such grace. Without you and Linda, Jason wouldn't be where he is right now - getting accustomed to his new normal, and staying in touch with the world. I hope y'all find a dog today - there is nothing in the world quite like a dog to keep a person grounded. I like to point out that "dog" is "God" spelled backward; He gave us dogs to love us unconditionally, same as He does. If not today, in the near future! Love, hugs, and prayers continue to be sent from the Roberts family in Tennessee.ReplyDelete

I think a service dog would be wonderful, but I'd highly suggest you get one already trained. Getting a puppy and training a dog is a lot of work, and it seems you might not have the time or energy to do that. Take some time to consider all the options. There are so many new things going on right now, adding a puppy to the mix might actually add to the stress.
Uncle Larry will be down to visit you tomorrow. He is really looking forward to seeing you both again, and checking out your new home. I'll send him with a hug for you.

"We received many compliments on this birth announcement. It was simple, yet had all the vital information on the front. We added a family photo on the back of the card. As usual, the proofs were sent to us very quickly, and the final product reached out within days."
"We had professional photos taken of our baby Jack when he was just 10 days old. The tiny prints arrival card was the perfect way to share our favourite photo and introduce our son to our family and friends. The templates are so easy to use and choice of designs wonderful. The end result was so cute and the quality so professional. Our friends loved them and everyone is asking how I did it! I'm planning to use the metal print from Tiny prints for our other favourite photos."
"I thought the finished product turned out great and have received lots of compliments. The designer got back to me quickly to approve my image and it was delivered before the day they estimated it to arrive. Very satisfied overall."
"It was exactly what we had hoped it would be. This was the perfect combination of elegance and beauty. It is exactly how we wanted to announce the birth of our child."
"Beautiful birth announcement. Good quality paper. I ended up needing more and the additional announcements were shipped out immediately. Excellent customer service- would definitely order other products."

District 7-AAA is one of the toughest in the state in all sports as every game is important no matter a team's place in the standings. Whoever wins the district is usually in contention for a state title. However, in baseball, Riverdale has ruled the district the past couple of years, but Tuesday night, it fell at Oakland 4-1 at Mack Hawks Field.
Each of the district matchups this season is a two-game home-and-home series. On Monday night, Riverdale defended its home field with a 6-0 win over Oakland. The Warriors were led at the plate by sophomore infielder Haddon Adams, who went 3-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs, and senior pitcher Brady Puckett only gave up five hits in the shutout victory.
The following night, the Patriots got a measure of revenge against its heated crosstown rival and a key district win to stay in the race for the title. Oakland senior right-hander Alex Ward pitched a gem by striking out five Warrior hitters and only giving up a towering home run in the top of the fourth by Puckett, who played first base for this game, for Riverdale's only run of the game.
"It felt good because Riverdale has got a good team," Ward said after the win. "You can not rest, and you got to bounce back."
"Taking a tough loss (Monday) night, it was really good to bounce back," Oakland senior first baseman Penn Moore added. "It gave us a lot of momentum going forward and we got to capitalized on it."
In the meantime, the Patriots offense had already done its damage and it jumped out to a 4-0 lead after three innings. The Oakland scoring started in the bottom of the first inning when senior shortstop Grant Hawkins singled, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch. He scored when Moore beat out an infield single to make the score 1-0.
Oakland added some insurance in the bottom of the third when Ward doubled to left, and then senior designated hitter Peyton Motroni was hit by a pitch to put runners at first and second. Moore brought both of them home with a triple to center which scored Ward and Motroni to make it 3-0. Junior center fielder Justin Wilson singled to score Moore as the Patriots led 4-0 after three innings.
"It was huge," Moore said. "It really got us going and sparked. Against a good pitcher like Collin (Snider) scoring on him early it is huge. It is the key to beating a guy like that and it gave us a lot of momentum."
After Ward gave up the homer to Puckett, he and the Oakland defense settled down as they only gave up two hits by the Warriors during the rest of the game.
"Ward is a special," Moore said. "When you have a guy like that, you feel if you can get one or two runs on the score board then you going to win the game."
Moore finished the game by going 2-for-2, and he was also hit by a pitch, while Ward got it done both at the plate and the mound going 2-for-3 in the win.
With the win, Oakland improved to 7-6, 2-2 on the season, while Riverdale dropped its first district game of the season to go 9-4, 3-1.
"Every time you face them, you have to come prepared," Ward said. "You know how good they are, and its feels good to beat your cross town rival to get the split."
District play will be back next week, but each of the local teams will compete at the Warrior Spring Classic this weekend against some of the top competition in the south. The Patriots will face three teams from Alabama and Franklin County during the weekend, while Riverdale will take on a team from Florida and Alabama. It was also face Collierville and Franklin from Tennessee.
The rest of county, Blackman, Siegel, LaVergne, Stewarts Creek and Smyrna, will also take part in the event starting on Friday.

The Pyramids of Giza, Cairo
Karnak, Luxor

Egypt is one of those countries that is probably on everybody's travel list. And deservedly so. It doesn't matter how many times you have seen pictures of the Pyramids, or any other ancient Egyptian site for that matter, it absolutely blows you away.
the Red Sea
Our simple but beautiful accommodation
Time after time we were left speechless (the Pyramids are just the tip of iceberg). Not only are there ancient sights to be explored, but the rich culture, Islamic architecture and of course the beautiful underwater world of the Red Sea. Chilling by the Red Sea was pure bliss and some of the best snorkeling we had done. A must after all the exploring of ancient sites!

Briton to induce epileptic seizure as performance
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - An epilepsy sufferer has courted controversy in Britain by creating a public performance in which she will attempt to bring on a seizure and allow the audience to film it on their mobile phones.
Rita Marcalo, who suffers around two seizures a year even on medication, has stopped taking treatment ahead of next month's production of "Involuntary Dances," which she claims is to raise awareness of epilepsy, the Telegraph newspaper reported.
But Marcalo, who directs a dance theater company, is facing criticism for putting herself at risk and for the voyeuristic nature of the 24-hour event which is being funded by a 13,889-pound ($22,910) government arts grant.
People will be invited to film her at Bradford Playhouse in northern England's West Yorkshire region, where she will use strobe lighting, fasting and raise her body temperature in an attempt to bring about a seizure.
"One of the reasons I am doing this is because epilepsy is an invisible disability," Marcalo told the newspaper. "As an artist I am very interested in this idea of doing something in my art that is the opposite of what I do in my life. In my own life it is private but in art I make it public."
She said that anyone could see epileptic seizures on Google or YouTube that have been filmed on mobile phones without the consent of the person having the seizure.
"Part of me doing this is to address the voyeurism. I am saying, I am choosing to let you do this," she said.
Epilepsy organizations have expressed concern about a patient attempting to bring on a seizure for the entertainment of others.
"I am concerned about the potential danger of a patient stopping their medication to induce a seizure," Epilepsy Action Chief Executive Philip Lee said. Continued...

By Larry Robertson, Special to The News

Ancaster Avalanche are very much in the hunt for the Golden Horseshoe Conference playoffs despite their weekend split with the Thorold Blackhawks and Welland Junior Canadians.

Entering this weekend the Avalanche have only 12 games remaining in their regular season schedule and every game is now a must-win, according to general manager and coach Ryan Kuwabara.

"The top eight teams make the playoffs, and right now the top four teams would get home-ice advantage. It's very tight right now for those last two spots," said Kuwabara. "We need everyone to be ready to play a solid 60 minutes from start to finish. We have a lot of tough games down the stretch and everyone needs to be at their best."

Friday night the Avs are in St. Catharines to play their archrivals, the second-place Falcons in the Jack Gatecliff Arena. Saturday night, Ancaster hosts the sixth-place Niagara Falls Canucks at Morgan Firestone Arena. Both games begin at 7:30 p.m.

Last Saturday, Ancaster edged Thorold 6-5 in a hard-fought game as Luke Zupan scored the fastest Avalanche goal from the start of a game (16 seconds) . Unfortunately, the team fell 7-3 Sunday night to Welland.

Ancaster scoring leader Zach Nieminen got the game-winner when he jumped on the loose puck and drilled a shot past the Thorold goalie. In addition to Nieminen, Chris Klack scored three goals and assisted on another. Zupan had a goal and two assists, while Brett Farrelly added a single goal.

The following night, Nick Camano, Ryan Knill, and Harrison Domagala scored for Ancaster in its loss to Welland.

is it ok to drain condensate to a below slab interior perimeter drain?
our only convenient place to run condensate drain lines for high-efficiency gas appliances will be into a below-slab interior perimeter drain I'm also installing. The thought is to leave a PVC stub when we repour the slab, and just clip the drain lines into that stub.
Otherwise, the city has blessed the perimeter drain and sump plan. Any technical problem running the condensate to that drain this way?
The copndensate from your furnace will be effectively pure water, so it can certainly be drained into the perimeter drain, assuming your town permits it.
Actually it is not pure. It is slightly acidic (like orange juice). Most cities don't mind it anymore in sewer drains as laundry soap is alkaline and the 2 neutralize each other ( I wuz told) but it does have some byproducts of combustion in it. Best to find out from the inspectors first. There used to be a neutralizer kit to put on the drain but you would have to find out from the furnace manufacturer. They were expensive and prone to plugging up and I would avoid them.

Shares, oil extend gains on U.S. jobs report
An unexpected surge in the number of people hired by U.S. employers during July boosted the dollar against the yen, lifted oil prices and extended gains on world share markets on Friday.
Nonfarm payrolls rose 163,000 last month, the Labor Department said, beating economists' expectations for a 100,000 gain and offering hope of improvement in the world's largest economy.
The jobless rate, however, inched up from 8.2 percent in June and analysts said that was likely to keep speculation of further monetary stimulus for the economy from the U.S. Federal Reserve intact.
"I feel like this report doesn't clear the air for what the Fed will do. We need to see another jobs report," said Robert Dye, chief economist at Dallas-based Comerica.
The dollar rose to a day's high of 78.61 yen but the euro continued to rise against the greenback to be up 0.7 percent at $1.2272.
The MSCI world equity index .MIWD00000PUS extended its gains of the day to be up 0.5 percent at 313.75 points, while U.S. stock futures pointed to a strong rise when Wall Street opened .N.
Brent and U.S. crude futures also extended earlier price gains. Brent September crude was up 65 cents at $106.55 a barrel and U.S. September crude was up 92 cents at $88.05 a barrel.

driver side door hinge replacement?
recently, we had some high winds that basically ripped the door out of my hand as i was opening it. the wind blew the door wide open. slight rubbing against the fender now and i hear major amounts of wind noise coming from the top part of the door. it also drips during heavy rains now. also, it seems about 1/8-1/4 out of alignment. is it possible the door got knocked out of alignment, or did one or both of the hinges get bent? i did a forum search and found that the hinges seem to flex when the door opens for some people, but didn't notice it myself. i'm suspecting damaged hinges, personally, so how difficult is it to replace them?
Re: driver side door hinge replacement?
Bent hinges. Same thing happened to me strong wind gust bent mine. Dealer replaced under 3/36 warranty. When i looked at it it did not seem like a diy.
Re: driver side door hinge replacement?
Replacing the hinges is pretty easy (especially if you have people to help hold the door - they are deceptively heavy once un-hinged).
Getting the door lined up correctly is no easy task. I would take it to a body shop and let them mess around with it...
Re: driver side door hinge replacement?
bought the hinges and paint today. hinges from jeeppartsdepot.com. upper and lower hinges for the left front cost me $90.46 shipped. paint is from automotivetouchup.com. ordered a rattle can of primer, base coat matching my paint code, and clear coat for a total of $44.66 shipped. when i get the hinges and paint, i'll post pics of the repair process for those of you who work on your own vehicles.
Shot in the dark asking but did you ever fix this? I have the same issue.
Re: driver side door hinge replacement?
unfortunately, i wrecked my other car and spent the entire summer getting that put back together. kinda difficult to do when you have to contend with weather due to not having a garage to work on. those door hinges, however, are my big spring project, along with the rust repair from this brutal winter. question i have for you, though. is your door lock actuator giving you trouble unlocking remotely? mine won't unlock with my key fob, i have to use the actual key. it also makes a hell of a noise.
No my lock works fine. I just can't take the horrible wind noise when driving on the highway! It looks like I have about a 1/4" gap at the top of the door.
1 Attachment(s)
This is what mine looks like.
Re: driver side door hinge replacement?
the hinges from jeeppartsdepot.com were the cheapest i've found on the internet and far cheaper than the dealership. they come unpainted and unprimed, which is why i got the stuff from automotivetouchup.com. the primer, paint, and clear coat all are available in spray paint form. basically, i have the hinges painted and ready to be put on. hopefully, the weather will permit me to do it in the spring. btw, the door lock actuator worked fine for me at first, then started going bad after a few months. i also have a bit of rub between the door and fender, so now i get to fix the small marks from that.
Re: driver side door hinge replacement?
Yeah I have the fender rub as well whenever I open and close the door. Looks like I will be taking a trip to the body shop this week. I just don't want to take the door off and replace the hinges just to find out my door itself is warped and is the problem.
I finally have a garage to work in so I'm not really scared of replacing the hinges but I don't really have the tools or know how to fix a warped door :/
Re: driver side door hinge replacement?
2Sh3a, rejekted rekoning,
I'm glad to see some recent posts on this issue. I've been suffering from a bent driver side door hinge (hopefully not warped door) for over a year on my 2007 GC, just been extremely busy to fix it. The two bolt design doesn't stand a chance against the high winds in Newfoundland.
I don't drive on the highway often but if I get over 50 mph I hear the airflow coming in through the gap, annoying. I also get a little rub against the fender, but no noticeable paint damage yet. Lock works fine.
2Sh3a - your gap looks a lot worse than mine. I'm trying to decide whether to purchase hinges myself and try to replace it in my buddy's garage (he has every imaginable tool and he's pretty crafty) or bring it back to an auto body shop. I did have a guy look at it last year when this first happened and he said something like $600 to replace the hinges. He put some epoxi behind the hinge base but that only lasted about 10 minutes.
rejekted rekoning - thanks for the link to parts. Any thoughts about using the 2009+ GC hinges? Apparently they have a 3-bolt configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Travel to Cuba: What You Need to Know and How to Prepare
Due to new regulations from the U.S. Government, travelling to the Caribbean's largest island with Abercrombie & Kent USA, LLC (A&K), is legal. In order to make the most of your journey and enjoy a comfortable, unforgettable and enriching stay, it's important to understand that travelling to Cuba is unlike any other destination you've experienced. As such, Cuba travel requires advance planning, a respectful mindset and an understanding of what makes travelling here as part of A&K's educational exchange program so unique.
What is different about the Cuba People-to-People programs versus other Abercrombie & Kent journeys?
These special people-to-people educational exchange programs will be different from other Abercrombie & Kent programs on which you may have previously participated. During this rewarding, educational experience, you will spend full, enriching days visiting and interacting with the Cuban people one on one. Alongside our knowledgeable Cuban guides, you will experience - in intimate fashion - the day-to-day lives of residents, all the while learning about Cuban cultural, social and religious organizations firsthand. All participants are required to adhere to a full schedule of activities designed to inform, educate and promote meaningful interaction with the Cuban people.
What is the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and what does it do?
According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's website, OFAC "administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign policies and regimes … and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States." For the last few years, A&K has provided people-to-people trips under a specific license issued by OFAC to A&K. As of January 16, 2015, A&K is now authorized to provide these people-to-people trips pursuant to a general license under 31 C.F.R. 515.565(b), rather than needing a specific license. Under the OFAC general license, this people-to-people educational exchange program adheres to the U.S. government's current restrictions governing the travel to Cuba of persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
What does people-to-people travel mean?
A&K's people-to-people itineraries have been carefully planned to provide engaging, intimate experiences with Cuba's dynamic residents, immersing you in everyday life, and allowing you to interact with locals and foster a better understanding of what makes Cuba such a fascinating place. People-to-people travel allows for very little free time, as your time will be spent experiencing Cuba at its most authentic, through one-on-one talks and in-person visits.
Do I have to participate in all the scheduled activities?
Yes, you have to participate in all scheduled activities on your itinerary. You are travelling to Cuba under OFAC's people-to-people general license, and the U.S. government requires you to participate in the guided, educational activities. Hence, unlike other Abercrombie & Kent trips, you cannot opt out of activities. By not participating in any scheduled activities, you may be individually liable for criminal or civil penalties.
Am I allowed to explore my surroundings before or after the day's itinerary?
Remember that your full-time participation is required when travelling to Cuba. You may be able to explore your surroundings before or after your scheduled itinerary is complete. Swimming pools are available at some hotels, and you may go for a swim before or after your scheduled itinerary.
What currency does Cuba use?
Cuban residents use the peso, or Moneda Nacional (CUP). However, Cuba operates as a dual economy, and its hard currency is the Cuban convertible peso (CUC). Travellers must use CUCs to pay for personal consumption in Cuba or to purchase informational materials (as described in more detail below) in Cuba.
Are U.S. dollars accepted in Cuba?
U.S. dollars are not accepted in Cuba and cannot be used for purchases. You will need to convert U.S. dollars to CUCs for use in Cuba upon arrival. The CUC is equal to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio, but exchange is subject to a 10% Cuban tax in addition to all exchange rates. This rate is subject to change at any time. Visit xe.com for details.
Will I be able to use my credit card or debit card in Cuba?
It depends on your financial institution. While U.S. financial institutions are now permitted to process credit card and debit card transactions in Cuba related to authorized travel expenses, currently most U.S. financial institutions and Cuban vendors are not set up to process such transactions.
There are no ATMs in Cuba, so funds cannot be accessed electronically. Please plan to travel with sufficient cash; how much cash you bring is a matter of preference. However, prices in Cuba are similar to those in the United States, so this may be used as your guide.
Where can I exchange money in Cuba?
We recommend money be exchanged at your hotel. Do not rely on Travelers Cheques because they are not insured and are not accepted from U.S. banks while in Cuba. It is therefore essential to travel with enough cash for your entire experience in Cuba. Given the schedule during a people-to-people departure, opportunities to exchange money will be few and far between, including at banks and airports. For your convenience, the cash you travel with may be exchanged most easily and reliably at your hotels. Visit xe.com for current information on exchanging money in Cuba.
May I purchase items in Cuba and bring them back with me to the U.S.?
Please note: The US $400 per person monetary limit on items which you may acquire in Cuba and import as accompanied baggage into the United States has been removed provided the merchandise is imported for personal use only. This includes the US $100 limit on Cuban rum and cigars which has also been lifted as of October 14, 2016. Travellers will now be subject to the normal limits on U.S. duty and tax exemptions for personal use. You may be asked to show receipts or other documents to government officials to demonstrate the value.
Are there any limitations with respect to personal consumption spending while in Cuba?
There is no limit on personal consumption spending (e.g., food, beverage, etc.) while in Cuba.
Will my cell phone, smartphone or PDA device work in Cuba?
Probably not; generally, your U.S. cell phone, texting and smartphone-based Internet will not work in Cuba. Any phone calls may be placed from your guest room in each hotel. Inquire about rates before placing calls, as they are generally very expensive and must be paid for in cash. Also, please note that satellite phones are not allowed in Cuba.
Is there Internet access in Cuba?
The hotels in A&K's program have Internet access; however, outside Havana it may not be reliable or up to the standards you are accustomed to at home.

Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa
We grudgingly hike down the mountain, then drive two hours to Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa, west of Taos. I begin the next morning slathered with mud, then sun myself to dry the goop to a powdery crust. I swig lithium water―bear with me here―from an underground well before soaking in the silky weightlessness of a 110° arsenic spring.
What, under other circumstances, might sound like poisoning, here is called pampering.
Ojo Caliente (literally, "hot eye") has the only springs in the world containing four minerals―iron and soda being the other two. Each boasts its benefits: Lithium is said to aid digestion and mood, and arsenic helps arthritis, among other maladies.
A spa has operated here for 140 years. For centuries before that, ancestral Tewa Indians lived in P'osi, a pueblo on the mesa above the springs. Some accounts say they considered these waters a gift of the gods. Glowing and relaxed, I'm with them on that.

I was at the meeting on Tuesday.
The issue of "width restrictions" was brought up a wheeler not by any forest employees. The question was asked what was the width restrictions at Evans Creek was, and the answer was 72". The original width used to be 60" way back. It was not discussed if it was hub-hub or tire-tire.
Changing the number for current vehicles is being addressed for the Tail Jamboree, those involved are trying to get it up to 76".
Evans Creek is an existing ORV park and the rules are already in place. When a new park is opened new rules are written.
Keeping our current trails healthy and open needs to today's focus.
I would like to see consistent numbers for all National Forest ORV Parks.
The current staff is in a hard place, they want to keep the parks open, but need to maintain current (even if out of date) rules and regulations.
I feel that this issue can be looked at to accommodate today's vehicles, but it needs to presented in a educated and professional manner.

Need opinions on ACI Jaguar DIY speaker kit
I am looking to upgrade from a set of Infinity Overture One Bookshelves as my main speakers in a HT setup to some nice speakers. For the sake of finances am entertaining the thought of building my own from a DIY kit. I've looked at different sites and the Audio Concepts, Inc. Jaguar kit caught my eye. At $769.00 per pair minus cabinets it sounds like a great deal. Could a beginner somewhat savvy with woodworking tools make a set of cabinets like these and are these speakers as good as ACI says they are? Thanx for any input you might give me.
This is about the best info I can think of.
But try a search next time.

About Me
Hi my name is Carlos and I am here to network, create imagery and earn a living. My style is editorial meets commercial fused with a splash of sexy. I love to work in rural surroundings with natural light; If you decide to come and work with me, there are a few things to know: 1) We will have fun. 2) It will be professional. 3) Images will be processed using photoshop by me and delivered in a timely manor. 4) There will probably be some walking involved, as most of my locations are either on the beach or off of hiking trails.
I love all sorts of fashion, but one of my favorite looks are sweater dresses or mini dresses with boots/heels. I give direction and encourage suggestions. If you must cancel please call with ample notice, do not email me the day of a scheduled shoot. I look forward to having a short conversation with you on the phone to finalize any shoot details that we have put together via messages, this helps me understand your needs and will make the whole experience a better one ( I dont allow escorts unless discussed prior to shoot, there are several reasons please ask me I also dont like photoshoot crashers who assume that because they come with wardrobe that Id be willing to shoot them as well as my originally scheduled model). Lastly, please consider my work carefully before contacting me to shoot, as I will take your interest very seriously and expect the same professionalism from you..no shutter teases, time is valuable. I also encourage you to check my references or testimonials to determine if I am the right Photographer for you
I like when you bring sexy attire to a shoot, but more importantly, I LOVE it when you bring your sexy attitude!
Contact me here or at email@example.com
"It was hard to choose my favorite pictures from my shoot with Carlos, there were almost none that can't be taken as a very good picture since they didn't even need that much retouching, thanks to the way he knows how to use the light that helps to simply hide every imperfection of the skin... It is very easy to shoot when you are just acting naturally and are relaxed, thank you for putting that smile on my face after seeing your photos ;-) Danna
"There is nothing not to love about Carlos! First of all he is kind, always professional, on time, reliable, delightful to be around, and he is a man of his word. He is the only photographer I have worked with who provided me with AMAZING retouched photos within a reasonable time from our shoot. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for him, because he pours his heart and soul into his work and it shows. He has a way of making you feel comfortable and then capturing "the real you" in pictures. The hard part is selecting your favorites, because you will love all of the images that he creates for you. He is truly an amazing artist and a wonderful person you can trust in this otherwise questionable industry". Krista
Carlos is hands down my favorite photographer I have ever worked with. He is so easy going and amazing at what he does. He knows how to work with natural light and bring out the best in everyone. I always run to him when I need to update my portfolio and always have such a hard time choosing which images I want from him, because they are also professionally and beautifully done." Ariel
"I would love to let everyone know what an awesome experience I had with Carlos! He is definitely one of my favorite photographers I have worked with.

"Shooting with Carlos was amazing! I felt completely comfortable from the moment we met. I don't need much, however he still gave great direction. I would LOVE to work with Carlos again, the photos were breathtaking. He knows lighting and locations very well. I would highly recommend shooting with Carlos." Laurie
"I had a blast working with Carlos, on my visit in LA, I actually had the chance to work with in 2 times during my visit, and we had a blast. We shot on the beach, so I can get that California feel in my port. He was a total professional!. He produces high quality work!I cant wait to work with him again once I'm in LA again." -Model Nina Jade Napoletano-

Both my print and commercial acting agent love Carlos' versatile shooting style: commercial yet fashion, striking yet soft, scenic yet still focused on the model…all around, he captures that special beauty that makes each of us different. Aside from his photographic skills - Carlos is easy going, down to earth, professional and fun. It is with great pleasure I say what a truly talented photographer he is."

Carlos has an eye for excellence, from lighting to poses...he does it all! He allows you to be creative, express your thoughts, he gives constant feedback and will direct you when needed. The outcome is always amazing . Going through photos is always exciting because nearly every photo exceeds my expectations! He has the ability to make you feel extremely comfortable and at ease the entire shoot. He is courteous, professional, positive and has amazing talent. I have worked with several photographers that are amazing but Carlos takes the cake! Any model from beginner to novice would benefit from shooting with Carlos". Monique A.
"It was an absolutely pleasure working with Carlos. He is not just a man holding a camera taking pictures of beautiful models , he is an artist of pure imagination that can and will help create extraordinary captions that purely tell a story within the picture.
