Is Yemen the Next Afghanistan?
It's a poorly kept secret in Washington that the Obama administration is deeply rifted over Yemen; as budgets come due, intelligence hawks and veteran commanders are sparring with development-aid workers and career foreign-service officers. The central question is, which Yemen first? Or more desperately: development projects or weapons?
American military aid to Yemen in 2006 was just over $4 million, all of it targeted at counterterrorism. By last year, that number had increased more than thirtyfold, to $155 million. In September, the U.S. military's Central Command announced its intention to provide another $1.2 billion in assistance—weapons, equipment, training—to Yemen over the next six years, or about $240 million a year, according to Christopher Boucek, a Yemen expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. (To put that figure in perspective, he pointed to the Pakistan Counterinsurgency Fund, a $400-million coffer—refilled annually—through which the U.S. buys Pakistani support for coalition operations in Afghanistan. Says Boucek: "Pakistan has been getting billions of dollars a year with no strings attached practically.")
The Achilles' heel of military aid is not knowing how it will eventually be used, as the CIA learned in the eighties when it flooded Afghanistan with thousands of Stinger missiles to shoot down Soviet aircraft, and then spent the next decade trying unsuccessfully to buy back the unspent ones from rogue mujahideen commanders. President Saleh has shown a willingness to use brutal violence to repress his detractors—the Houthis in the north, the secessionists in the south. As Gregory Johnsen, a Yemen scholar at Princeton, told the New York Times, "If we're just pouring money and equipment into the Yemeni military in the hopes that it will be used against al-Qaeda, that hope doesn't match either with history or current reality." Saleh claims that Iran is secretly funding the Houthis and regularly blurs the distinction between terrorists and southern political agitators with legitimate grievances. "If he can get things out of the West by talking up the threat of AQAP, he'll do it," Mecham said. "And he usually can."
Compared to military aid, development aid provided by the State Department has lagged. From 2006 to 2010, funding rose from less than $20 million to $67 million, and this year State has promised just $106 million, nearly half of which is military and security assistance. As Richard Fontaine, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, has put it, "The amount of aid going to Yemen is a rounding error."
Where some in the Pentagon see Yemen as a proving ground for the "new" war on terror—clandestine teams of Special Forces, precision drone strikes, a small footprint on the ground—many at State, like Mecham, hope it will be just the opposite: a proving ground for "smart aid." The term has become a hallmark of the Clinton State Department and has everything to do with who receives aid. American foreign policy is not aimed specifically at "picking winners," but development officials have found that by carefully targeting aid, they can boost its efficacy, for the same reason that you tend your flower garden with a watering can and not a fire hose.
Much of Mecham's work in policy planning involved identifying important, nonstate actors that the U.S. could partner with abroad. As he explained, Yemen needs aid that doesn't go directly to the government but to actors who are "relatively independent from the political machinations of President Saleh—and they still exist—and to nongovernmental organizations. There's only so much capacity to absorb what Yemen currently has. You can't just write a check for a billion dollars and find people to spend it on. But we can do more than we've historically done." He pointed to Yemen's relatively robust class of technocrats—nonexistent in Afghanistan—as civil servants. "They actually know something, and they're skilled," he said. "There is a future to invest in in the Yemeni state, in ways that I can't see happening as easily in Afghanistan. There are people who have good educations, who are very competent, who are relatively untouched by state patronage networks." In other words, these are prime targets for smart aid.
Despite President Saleh's assertion that Yemen would not tolerate the presence of foreign troops on its soil, the number of U.S. Special Forces secretly training Yemeni military commanders in the mountains west of Sana'a is said to have climbed past a hundred, and they're now being joined by CIA teams. In November, the Washington Post reported that Predator drones had been patrolling Yemeni airspace for months, hunting AQAP leaders. Increasingly, Mecham's observation that the guy seeking refuge in Hadramout is both an al-Qaeda member and somebody's cousin feels ominously prescient. "When you send a drone strike to kill somebody in a camp, you're not killing the al-Qaeda guy—you're killing the cousin."

A couple of points before you fill this out. The android app is NOT DONE. Its actually not even really a Beta, more of an Alpha. The only sections that work are the Collection and the Reader. (Told ya it was early).
What does that mean:
* You have to be a Graphicly user to use the application.
* You have to own comics bought through Graphicly.
* You will be able to read only comics (free comics work too) that you bought through one of the other Graphicly applications.
* It will break, crash, burn, work in weird ways, not do what you think it should.
What are we asking of you:
* let us know of any and all errors
* let us know what you like and what you hate
* show it to other people, get their reactions to it
* break it and then tell us how you broke it
* If you blog, tweet or facebook about it, just remember that I prefer pictures from the left side as it shows off the twinkling in my eyes (and hides the bags from too many all nighters)
You will get an email reminding you of all this, but I wrote it here because I want you to know that this is not just some scam "private beta" bs. Its really to help us understand what is working and what isnt.
Thanks for your help!!

(5/10/2006) Thanks to the Construction Workforce Initiative 2, Brenda Whitfield, a Housing Authority resident raising five children on her own, is on her way to becoming an electrician. Brenda is one of 32 city residents who will graduate Thursday from the City of New Haven�s Construction Workforce Initiative. The graduation takes place Thursday, May 11, 2006, 3 p.m. at the Hall of Records, 200 Orange St., Ground Floor.
Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. created the Construction Workforce Initiative as a way to insure that substantial numbers of the high-wage construction jobs created by the citywide school construction program would be held by minorities, women and New Haven residents. Residents are trained in carpentry, painting, electrical work, plumbing and other construction trade skills. Nichole Jefferson, executive director of the Commission on Equal Opportunity, said a total of 32 are graduating, out of a pool of 178 applicants.
�The mission of the Construction Workforce Initiative is to identify and nurture cadres of New Haven residents who can take part in the city�s booming construction industry,� the Mayor said. �We are now in the second phase of this program and it is focused on the school construction program, which we estimate generates $73.5 million in wages. Our goal is to insure that our own residents, including women and minorities, can reap the benefits of the school construction program and participate in the economic development of our City.�
Althea Marshall-Richardson, Pres/CEO of Empower New Haven said Empower New Haven is pleased that 24 of the graduates are empowerment zone residents. �We have been very pleased to partner with the city in financially supporting the Construction Workforce Initiative because this initiative brings tangible value to our investments and promotes community building in so many ways,� she said.
The program, run by the City�s Commission on Equal Opportunities, builds on relationships with the region�s construction industry, the Greater New Haven Building Trades and the New Haven Public Schools. Upon entering the program, Whitfield first worked in a temporary assignment for Anderson Turf, making $35 an hour renovating the city�s Pop Warner ball fields. She did so well, Local 90 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has taken her on as an electrical apprentice working for Ed-Mor Electric. Ed-Mor will employ her on an upcoming school construction project.

La Habra is the latest Orange County city to enact a law banning registered sex offenders from parks and playgrounds following action by the City Council Monday night.
The city modeled its child safety zone ordinance after the county's enacted in April to keep perverts out of regional parks and other places that attract children.
After the county Board of Supervisors passed the law written by Supervisor Shawn Nelson and District Attorney Tony Rackauckas, the DA and supervisors sent letters to leaders of Orange County's 34 incorporated cities suggesting they do the same. Westminster enacted an ordinance modeled after the county ban in May, while Irvine the next month adopted a law that only bans sex offenders whose rap sheets include crimes against children.
Like council members in other cities that have postponed or not yet fully approved bans, Irvine's majority feared the complete ban advocated by the county may not ultimately pass constitutional muster. Some Irvine leaders also felt a problem that does not exist was being created by the law as the city has few registered sex offenders living there and no reports of children being sexually victimized in local parks.

Nonetheless, as the council there and in other cities have taken up the issue, representatives of the county, the DA's office and the sheriff's department have shown up to publicly lobby for support of the total bans created by Nelson and T-Rack. Senior Assistant District Attorney Mary Anne McCauley appeared before the La Habra City Council Monday night.
As you'd expect, Rackauckas applauds La Habra's move in a statement issued by his office last night.
"The City of La Habra took a big step today in protecting children from dangerous sexually deviant predators by creating this safety zone," the DA states. "This law will discourage sex offenders from going to parks in La Habra, where they could have easy access to children and potentially get acquainted with them in the grooming process. I hope that other cities follow the leadership shown by the La Habra mayor and council members and pass a similar ordinance in their cities."
Like the county ordinance, which subjects registered sex offenders to fines, misdemeanors and possible jail time if they do not get permission from the Orange County Sheriff's Department before entering a regional park or recreational area, pervs in La Habra must now receive clearance from the local police department lest they face similar penalties. In both the city and the county, fines can be high as $500 for the first infraction, and the time behind bars can be as long as 90 days.
The La Habra ordinance follows on the next page:
WHEREAS, on April 5, 2011, the Orange County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a new Ordinance to create a child safety zone to further protect children from registered sex offenders, and
WHEREAS, the April 5 2011 County of Orange Ordinance prohibits registered sex offenders from entering County parks without written permission from the Orange County Sheriff's Department, but does not apply to any City parks that are located in Orange County, and
WHEREAS, the City of La Habra finds that it is appropriate and necessary to extend this prohibition to City of La Habra parks to establish Child Safety Zones in the City of La Habra to further protect children from sexual predators m areas where children frequent,
SECTION 1 Chapter 9 66 of Title 9 of the La Habra Municipal Code is hereby added as follows:

The stimulus is working.....
#4 Apr 19, 2010
I do not believe any of the manufactured numbers and quotes about jobs and the economy that come from Washington.
Remember the jobs "created or saved" quote when the stimulus money was rolled out. The stimulus money put up some expensive signs on our highways promoting all of these great jobs from the wreckcovery act. Where are they?
Here is a quote to remember:
"Figures don't lie, but liars figure" That is what we are getting from Washington from the "O" Kingdom. I think there is a Liar Czar in the basement of the White House.
#5 Apr 19, 2010
Yes, things are bad, but why is everyone blaming the entire situation on Obama? He didn't cause this; it was already in place when he was elected.
This recession is the direct result of the policies and practices put in place and/or bad business practices which were ignored during the Bush years.
So if you want to blame someone, blame Bush, the man who set this whole economic meltdown into motion.

Perhaps you should go back and take a look at the policies put into place late in the Clinton administration, especially the housing policies and the availability of loans for low to moderate income families.
But you won't. Your blind hated for one person will not allow you to do research contrary to your own beliefs.

#9 Apr 19, 2010
Before the 100th Democrat congress was elected in 2006, George Bushs economy was moving along nicely with growth at over 4% and unemployment well within norms.
Once the Democrats took over all that changed.
Now that Obama has taken control and with the help of the 11th Democrat congress, it has been downhill ever since.
This is 100% on Obama and the Democrats.
Blaming Bush for all of Obamas mistakes wont fly anymore and frankly I think people like you need to think next time before they vote for something as ambiguous and hollow as hope and change.
#10 Apr 19, 2010
Why does the right still want to blame Clinton. I would be ashamed to blame him. Why did the right sit on their thumbs for 8 years doing nothing to right the Clinton wrongs but are quick to jump Obama for not doing enough in the short time he's been in. Your sheet is getting stale

#11 Apr 19, 2010
so if you are willing to pontificate that some of these policies were not only bush's but also clinton's, then you're also willing to admit that it's not obama's fault, yes? how about we admit that all of the past several administrations have cowtowed to special interests, and most espicially to big money and industry, and put in place policies that have hurt the average worker? is that something we can agree on?
#12 Apr 19, 2010
"Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution (Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, 1971)."
By design, much of Ohio is in just the postion "frustrated and lost" that Saul Alinsky describes in "Rules for Radicials." This book is the foundation of Obama's view of things. Obama's policies are designed to destroy hope so that he will then be free to transform America as he sees fit.
#13 Apr 19, 2010
We the people need to do more than what the legislators have been requested to do. They have failed us. They over-borrowed and over-spent, now we need to close our wallets and demand better accountability so that we can rebuild our nation.
#14 Apr 19, 2010
Verbal Bombacity & Hyperbole... that's all this country produces anymore FROM EVERYONE. I say it's time for action....and our first action should be:
"Abandon ship boys,,, the inmates are in charge and running the asylum."
#15 Apr 19, 2010
We need a new direction to change Washington. Obviously the economy killers in charge are not getting the job done.
Americans by a 80+% do not have confidence in CONgress.
I hope all incumbents get voted out. I feel a fresh start by cleaning house will be more positive than the career politicans who are more concerned about their future.
We have the power to fire them all!
Real change comes when we vote them out.
#16 Apr 19, 2010
This type of reasoning is getting boring. We're tired of the typical liberal, Obama tranced followers always stressing 'poor Obama, he inherited this'. Face the facts that the Clinton administration initiated the policies that resulted in the collapse of the housing market, Barney Frank, Democrat, continually ignored warnings from the Bush administration that it was going to collapse. Now maybe Bush should have spend tax payer money traveling the country to sell his warning like Obama constantly travels to sell his agenda. The fact remains that Obama wanted this job so the poor little Obama whining is unproductive. Sulee, answer this.....if Obama is so great why is he spending into oblivion making the economic situation in this country worse than it was on January 20, 2009? How do you justify his spending agenda? He has done nothing to cut government waste. He has added more bureaucracy. Ohio's unemployment just went up to 11%. Obama owns all the damage he has done.
#17 Apr 19, 2010
I'm sorry, but when the line is over an hour at an expensive restaurant on a Thurs....the economy is not bad.
#18 Apr 19, 2010
I think 5 minutes of an economic refresher course can help. The "meltdown" and "crisis" was not CAUSED by a single administration. Alan Greenspan who was appointed through Cintons years and Bush, kept interest rates incredibly low. The policies that both Clinton and Bush put in place allowed, and in some ways with the low interest rates, encouraged predatory lending, and more importanly little supervision of the financial markets.
So if you want to blame anyone, blame Greenspan, he did not do his job in observing the market.
As for getting out of this mess. Can not say, even from any finance or economic standpoint how massive social programs will help this country out of a financial mess... it doesnt work that way.
#19 Apr 19, 2010
Okay, let's say for instance that Bush is to blame for everything that has happened and led up to Obama being elected. During his candidacy, Obama vowed enthusiastically and vocally that he would "make it all better" and with his boastful attitude, implied strongly that if he was voted in, it would happen immediately. The ball is now in his corner. Quit bashing an ex-president. It has been way too long since Bush was in the oval office and it is now time for Obama and his supporters to take responsibility for Obama's presidency. It's all Obama now. If he boasted he could make it happen, we are still waiting. My savings account is not happening and there is no money left over at the end of paying bills and everyday living expenses to save anything. And, I can definitely not afford to buy luxuries. Because of the economy, my husband's place of business went into a Chapter 11. But thankfully, my job is doing okay although we have had a couple of layoffs the end of last year. So, personally, I cannot afford to stimulate the economy. The banks who were bailed out are healthier now but afraid to loan money so the stimulus didn't do much in that area. I agree it takes time to get the economy back on track, but then again, here is a newly elected president that boasts he can "make a miracle" almost immediately. Democrat or Republican -- this is why people are worried and disheartened. They are not seeing it happen. Obama needs to own his presidency and his supporters need to stop bashing an ex-president.
#20 Apr 19, 2010
The stimulus is working!
#21 Apr 19, 2010
White Castle drive-thru?
#22 Apr 19, 2010
If you think the economy is bad now, wait until tax dollars are funneled into our already-dead passenger rail system and federal mandates are imposed on our health care industry (which is one of the top employers in Ohio).

Occasionally, there is a new leadership skills concept introduced that is too simple and powerful to be true.
Visioning is one of those leadership skills concepts.
Visioning is a systems thinking leadership approach that enables and empowers leaders to make better decisions, solve problems and improve relationships with others.
An important question that must be asked by all leaders when making a decision is "what future reality will I create with the decision and choices I make from this point forward."
Looking to the Past
Visioning is looking to the past to see how our current reality was constructed from our best thinking.
Just as today's choices create tomorrow, yesterday's choices helped create the reality we live in today. If we are to create a better future we must learn from these choices and improve upon them.
We have to look into the past and ask ourselves:
- Where did our systems come from?
- How did they evolve? What was their purpose?
- What was the thinking of the time? Why do they fall short?
- Most of all, how can we improve upon them and the thinking that created them?
Leadership Skills Reality
Visioning is the new concept to help leaders answers those questions.
The world that we live in today is experiencing change at an unprecedented rate, with unprecedented volatility due to the increasingly connected state of our global reality. Visioning provides leaders with insights into why this is happening and what we need to do to survive it.
This is not a look at the future where change will be a nice thing to have if we can afford it; it will be a place where we either change with the increasingly volatile and rapid world that is sweeping us along, or drown in the ripples that we have created and we are continuing to create in our in-adaptable, stable and dangerously inflexible systems and thinking.
Survival Tool
Visioning is where the great convergence of spiraling life cycles is creating change at ever-increasing speed and volatility.
Change is no longer a luxury to muse over, but a survival tool that will weed out the fittest and most adaptable from the unwilling or unable to change.
Current systems are designed for stability, control and predictability. Systems of the future will demand flexibility and adaptability. Visioning enables leaders to make decisions that will allow their organizations to adapt to any environment.
Guiding Principles
Within the Visioning concept are six principles of adaptable systems. Leaders or Visioners use these principles to help their organizations survive the rate and volatility of change and also to provide resilience that will serve them well for some time. The six guiding principles are:
- Self Organize
- Recombine
- Sense and Respond
- Learn and Adapt
- Seed, Select & Amplify
- Destabilize
The Future is Your Own Creation
Visioning enables leaders to realize that the future really is their own creation, personally, professionally and relationally.
In these three areas they can change their organizations and change the lives of their employees. Visioning is where all improvement can be made personally and collectively. Choosing realities that are better than the ones we currently have is what Visioning enable leaders to do.
Our current thinking made the reality we experience around the world today. Our future reality will be created by the thinking of tomorrow and Visioning is a concept that can shape the future.

1. Introduction
Generic Standards will form part of the tenderer selection process and will be included in Invitations to Tender and form part of any subsequent contract. The inclusion of Generic Standards into Invitation to Tenders or contracts will be either through the Quality of Supplies and Generic Standards clause, specifically drafted contract clauses or via inclusion in tender documents by Buyers
The purpose of Generic Standards (GS's) is to help ensure that the goods or services purchased by BT meet:
Statutory requirements for safety and environmental matters
Requirements unique to the BT business and those of its customers
Performance requirements over their entire life cycle
The Standards are reviewed at least annually to take account of legislative and regulatory changes.
2. General
The general format of Generic Standards (apart from GS13 and GS18 and GS19 -see Generic standard overview below) is:
BT will state what it wants and leave you the supplier to declare the degree to which you are able to meet these Requirements.
Wherever possible, GS's are designed to be universally applicable with International or European specifications quoted rather than the British Standard equivalents.
Buying teams may send selected GS's and request receipt of your response electronically.
To determine the applicability of the Generic Standards to a contract our buying teams will consider a wide range of issues. These will include:
Nature of the goods - new / old / simple / complex / proprietary,
Their impact on BT's business,
Their impact on BT's customers,
Safety, reliability and environmental considerations,
Past performance and so on.
3. Accessing the Generic Standard documents

Within the UK there is a requirement for Service Suppliers to meet the SAFEcontractor accreditation standard. Service Suppliers to BT will be required to achieve SAFEcontractor accreditation as an indication of their organisation's competence in Health and Safety matters.
Generic Standard 13 - Environmental Impact Standard
GS13: Environmental Impact Standard is used to drive forward environmental improvement with in contract suppliers by giving a series of questions with categorised responses that can be directly compared and scored. This will help identify if there are areas for improvement.
Generic Standard 18 - Sourcing With Human Dignity Standard
BT's Sourcing with Human Dignity Initiative establishes the aspiration that working conditions in our supply chain should meet standards based on international guidelines. Suppliers should seek to work towards the Sourcing with Human Dignity aspirations, collaborating with BT to meet this goal where required.
For more information go to the Suppliers GS18 homepage.
Generic Standard 19 - Product Stewardship Standard
GS19 requests suppliers of electrical or electronic equipment to provide information on the materials content and environmental attributes of products, specifically to ensure BT can meet the requirements of the following EU Directives:
1) The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
2) The Restriction on the use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive
3) The European Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH)
For more information please see the GS19 Standard
Generic Standard 20 - Climate Change Procurement Standard
The Climate Change Procurement Standard consolidates BT expectations on climate change action by suppliers. It sets out minimum requirements and future direction for suppliers, including carbon footprinting and evolving energy standards. The aim is to drive supplier engagement on greenhouse gas reduction.
IT Security Generic Standard (ITSGS)
This Standard details BT's generic requirements for Information Technology (IT) Security. The Buyer will include a copy of this Generic standard in all applicable tenders and contracts.
5. So how will the GS's affect you?
The "Requirements" have been written to establish the degree to which you, the supplier, are satisfied that you meet BT's requirements. You will need to demonstrate this in any Invitation to Tender response.
To each Generic Standard "Requirement" you should make a declaration of "Compliant", "Partially compliant" or "Non-compliant" as appropriate (in only a few instances will "Not applicable" be valid). A supporting statement of how you comply, or why you do not must follow this declaration. Ideally this statement should be brief, but it must contain sufficient information to support the declaration. (GS13 Environmental Impact Standard is different using a questionnaire format instead. Please see GS13 note in Section 2 above. GS18 also differs. For details see GS18 note in Section 2 above.)
Please note that a declaration of, for example, "compliant" will not of itself be considered sufficient.
If your response is accepted and becomes part of the contract then you will be expected to meet these commitments as you would with any other contractual clause.
6. BT's Right to audit
BT reserves the right to verify the validity of the responses via on site audits or by requesting additional supporting evidence from the Supplier.
It is hoped that this Briefing will help you to understand the Generic Standards and the philosophy on which they are based, but if you need further advice please contact the buyer concerned.

Favorite movies are " Contact"," Science of Sleep" , "Donnie Darko", "Sunshine of the Spotless Mind","Fight Club", "Everything is Illuminated", I love science documentaries, comedies, I love all kinds of movies really....but Not constant TV , TV is mind numbing so is video games.Although, I do get into some series on Netflix or recorded, like, "Breaking Bad" , "Walking Dead" and the new series called "Game of Thrones ", I'm a huge fantasy fan , Game of thrones is one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen... I think I have seen every episode about 4 times. I miss Tyrion the most.
I'm a huge Dylan fan... as a matter of fact - if you hate him , we can't be friends ! Also, Of Monsters and Men, Iron and Wine, Mumford and sons, The shins, T-Rex, White Stripes, Johnny Cash, AC/DC , The Clash, Joan Jett, Etta James, Mazzy Star.. Black Sabbath is back together and touring and I am dieing to see that.. the new song "13" is amazing.. wow! U still got it Ozzy! And we all thought you would be dead soon! .... I love a huge variety of music. I always have music playing and love making play lists for friends. I own over 800 records but they are stored with my family. I love to sing along but only if I'm alone.
I'm not a picky eater... I love Indian but I also love sushi and even Mom's Sunday pot roast.I'm not a bad cook but picky eaters are annoying to me, though I do try and cook a variety of tasty veggies for all my vegetarian friends right after I make fun of them..JK. However , I try to eat healthy most of the time with things like salads and veggies.

Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde + John 5 Lead Benefit for Fellow Guitarist Tony MacAlpine
Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, John 5 and more are staging a benefit to help out fellow guitarist Tony MacAlpine, who has been diagnosed with colon cancer.
Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, John 5 and more are staging a benefit to help out fellow guitarist Tony MacAlpine, who has been diagnosed with colon cancer.
Legendary guitarist John 5 is set to join former Misfits axeman Doyle for a number of dates on the horror punk pioneer's 2015 U.S. tour.
Former Slayer and current PHILM drummer Dave Lombardo and guitar great John 5 are the guests on this weekend's 'That Metal Show' on VH1 Classic.
Corey Taylor, Slash and John 5 will reportedly take part in a panel at Kirk Von Hammett's 2015 Fear FestEvil music and horror event.
Teaming up with Rocket Fizz, the guitarist helped create a signature brand of limeade.
Earlier this year, on March 26, several rockers joined forces for the Rock Against MS concert at the Whisky A Go-Go in California to raise funds to battle the debilitating disease. From performances by Robby Krieger of The Doors fame to Lita Ford and Cherie Currie, Bruce Kulick, Steve Stevens from Billy Idol's band and Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addition – the star-studded benefit show was a huge success.
These are busy times in the Rob Zombie camp. The band is getting ready for more touring, the release of their 'Zombie Horror Picture Show' DVD and companion book, and yes, they've somehow found time to start work on a new album.
Sebastian Bach may have left fans 'Kicking & Screaming' with his last solo offering but he's now ready to unleash his follow-up disc, 'Give 'Em Hell' on April 22 via Frontiers Records.
These guitarists have taken a classic rock 'n' roll style and revved it up into a distinct heavy metal style. AC/DC's Angus Young is one of the most purely powerful guitarists in history. As one of the greatest riff masters of all time, Angus plows through iconic tracks like 'Let There Be Rock,' 'Thunderstruck' and 'Back in Black' with a youthful exuberance that he still maintains to this day.
Rob Zombie / ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5 was recently the victim of a home burglary, which left the virtuosic shredder without a portion of his beloved guitar collection.

Canterbury capped off its football season by routing Ocala St. John Lutheran 48-7 Saturday in the championship game of the Sunshine State Athletic Conference.
Brent O'Neil rushed for 139 yards on 10 carries, and James Goodwin had a 66-yard reception on a screen pass for a score. Bryce Wilson also came up big on defense and special teams, returning an interception for a touchdown and scoring on a punt return.
The Crusaders have won nine straight games, the longest streak in the county. Two weeks ago, they knocked off previously undefeated Carrollwood Day to clinch the south division of the independent SSAC.
The divisional matchup with Carrollwood Day was considered more of a title game considering Canterbury had beaten St. John Lutheran 54-6 during the regular season. But St. John Lutheran entered the title game with a four-game win streak.

Possible Senate Action
The Senate Executive Committee meets at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13. It may vote on three measures:
- SB 35 is opposed by the coalition. It would delay COLAs and cap them at very low levels, increase retirement ages, and increase employee contributions without an ironclad funding guarantee from the state. Further, SB 35 would force new hires in TRS and SURS into a 401(k)-hybrid retirement account. That means half of these individuals' retirement security would be directly exposed to the risks of the market, even though participants in TRS and SURS are not eligible for Social Security.
- SB 1 is opposed by the coalition. It consists of two parts. Part A contains all of the provisions mentioned above as SB 35. If Part A is found unconstitutional, Part B goes into effect. Under Part B, workers and retirees would be forced to choose between (1) a COLA that would reduce a pension's value by one-third after twenty years or (2) no access to health care in retirement.
- SB 2404 is supported by the coalition. It contains an ironclad funding guarantee, dedicated revenue to pay down the state's pension debt, and shared sacrifice. Retirees would not be impacted. You can read more about it by clicking this link.
SB 35 and SB 1 are unfair to public servants who faithfully paid into the pension systems, even as the state skimped on or skipped payments. Further, the coalition believes SB 35 and SB 1 are unconstitutional and will be overturned by the courts — kicking the can down the road and worsening Illinois' fiscal problems. Alternatively, SB 2404 is a fair, constitutional way to address the state's chronic pension underfunding. Urge your state senators to oppose SB 35 and SB 1 and support SB 2404 instead.
Possible House Action
In the House, it is unclear what bills will be considered and what pension "test votes" will be taken this Thursday. It is possible that at least two major bills could see action in House Personnel and Pensions Committee, scheduled for Thursday at 3 p.m. The coalition opposes HB 3411, which is identical to SB 35 (described above). The coalition supports HB 3162, which is identical to SB 2404 (described above). In addition, "test votes" could be held on increasing retirement ages and increase employee contributions by 3% without an ironclad guarantee. Urge your House legislators to oppose HB 3411 and support HB 3162.
The Illinois House of Representatives voted on three new pension reform amendments this afternoon. As you will see below, two of the amendments failed by an overwhelmingly majority, but HB 1154, Amendment 7 was passed. This sets a cap on the amount of your salary that can be applied to your pension, with the cap at a salary of $113,000 a year.
HB 1154, Amendment 6: Eliminates a cost of living increase to your pension for the next 10 years. -FAILED 67-2
HB 1154, Amendment 7: Places a cap on the amount of your salary ($113,000 a year) that can be applied to your pension. – PASSED 65-7 (with 1 voting present)
HB 1154, Amendment 8: Increases your pension contribution by an additional 4% of your salary. – FAILED 58-11 (with 2 voting present)
Thank you once again for your calls to your legislators! This is another battle won in the war to keep your pension!
March 6 Update:
Just like last week, Thursday, March 7 is pension day in the Illinois House of Representatives.
A new set of amendments which would be extremely damaging to YOUR PENSION were filed earlier this afternoon and are likely to be voted on by the House tomorrow.
Be sure to call your Representative TODAY at 888.412.6570 and tell them to vote no on these amendments.
HB 1154, Amendment 6: Eliminates a cost of living increase to your pension for the next 10 years.
HB 1154, Amendment 7: Places a cap on the amount of your salary that can be applied to your pension.
HB 1154, Amendment 8: Increases your pension contribution by an additional 4% of your salary.
Your calls and emails to your legislators have been the key to defeating unfair and unjust pension reform so far. Keep up the calls and have your voice heard! This is YOUR RETIREMENT SECURITY AT STAKE!
Public employees are willing to do their part to help preserve their pension benefits, but they aren't willing to bear the entire burden. The We Are One Illinois coalition of public-employee unions (which SEIU Local 73 is a strong partner in) which includes SEIU Local 73, stands ready to work collaboratively to develop real pension system reforms that are fair and constitutional.
Read more why your legislator should vote no to HB3411.
Call 888.412.6570 to be connected to your state representative. Tell them the following:
- Vote no to pension reform that would drastically increase your pension contribution;
- Vote no to any pension reform bill that would unconstitutionally increase retirement age for current employees;
- Work with the We Are One Illinois coalition to create fair pension reform for both current employees and retirees.
February 28 Update:
The Illinois House voted on four pension amendments today:
HB 1154 Amendment 1 (eliminate cost of living adjustments): FAILED 66-2
HB 1154 Amendment 2 (eliminate cost of living adjustments unless the system is 80% funded): FAILED 62-5
HB 1165 (increase retirement age to 67): FAILED 66-1
HB 1166 (increase employee contributions by 5 percentage points): FAILED 61-3
Your calls and emails worked again! Extreme pension reform amendments have failed in the Illinois House of Representatives this afternoon. Thanks for your support!

Re: scalar field visualization
Dear Chris,
If your scalar field is continuous, you might also try plotting
isosurfaces. This example* uses Mathematica's ContourPlot3D. Motion
and interactivity of course also helps when exploring 3D objects on a
2D screen. Mathematica's Shadow routine allows you to display
isosurface projections on the orthogonal walls at the same time. You
may have to experiment a bit with these routines, to see if they can
give you something that is useful.
* http://www.umsl.edu/~fraundor/nanowrld/live3Dmodels/test2.html
I'm not sure how to display the scalar field as though it were a dust
cloud reflecting light, but with a bit of effort you can also display
it as though it were a dust cloud absorbing light. Basically, you do a
CAT scan in reverse, i.e. calculate multiangle shadows from a 3D model
rather than vice versa. This can be done by Fourier backprojection,
ie. by taking the 3D Fourier transform of your scalar field, slicing it
through the DC peak about a given rotation axis, and then animate the
Fourier transform of the slices. The result is a rotating shadow, like
the one illustrated at the bottom of this page**.

The population of Valdivia which is the tenth city in Chile is 24,743.
Certainly not; but after all, we have nothing to do at Valdivia.
He had left Valdivia under a threat of death; at every step he expected to be aimed at by some invisible gun.
Valdivia has had its share of the world's vicissitudes and calamities.
"I beg your pardon, but I have not the least idea where Valdivia is," observed Valentine.
Valdivia was at this moment oppressed by the weight of an unknown apprehension.
Valdivia, determined to extend his frontiers, marched to the south.
The tribes dependent on Valdivia are "reducidos y cristianos."
Valdivia thought it best to boldly cut his way through the burning forest, and so effect his escape—or perish in the attempt.
Valdivia himself fled, but was pursued and quickly captured.

Kannaway is Growing Fast!
Kannaway Products
The Kannaway products are here and I love all of them and have personally used all of them.
1. Kannaway Packs which start from $99 up to $999. These packs start with the $99 pack that has 3 items all the way up to the $999 pack which contains all products.
2. Kannactiv is a skin care line with the following:
- Activate which is the gentle scrub to wipe away dirt, oil and dry, dead skin cells that are on your skin daily.
- Balance is their nutrient-rich, alcohol free toner with a natural astringent.
- Clarify is their light moisturizer that hydrates/protects skin cells.
3. Revive Pro which are the oral applicators.
4. Defined Transformation Products – these are all skin care products as well.
5. Travel Salve Packets
6. Kannakick Products – chocolate flavored gum and available in all different flavors as well.
7. Hempvap Hookahs
8. Revive Detox Capsules
9. And much more.
Kannaway Compensation Plan
So now we are in the money-making side of Kannaway.
Well, I have a problem with this side and it's not the products as I've stated above, for I actually use them myself! Love um actually…
The entire MLM industry in itself, is not of the highest integrity in my eyes.
Think about it. The 'only' way an MLM distributor can make money is to bring in new members constantly. And also to keep them as a member because that's where your money comes to you, by members underneath you continuing to buy the products and keep selling them.
It's a cycle that has to keep moving or all incomes stop.
So, bottom line, can you make money with Kannaway?
Yes, you can.
Is it sustainable for years to come?
Do you want a sustainable online business? Do you want an online business that does not require selling to every human being? Do you want to be able to make passive income month after month after working on that particular deal just one time?
Then follow your dream and start a business today!

Copper jacket bullet: BMW's CES centrepiece i8 concept is dressed in E-Copper Orange and houses the latest in self-driving technology.
6 January 2016
By DANIEL GARDNER
BMW has chosen the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas to debut a new
i8 Concept Spyder that showcases a host of innovative technologies such as
autonomous driving, gesture control and environmental information sharing.
The protractedly named Concept Car BMW i Vision Future Interaction is based on
the i8 Spyder that was recently confirmed for production, but goes further by
removing the doors as well as the roof.
In addition to the more obvious aesthetic changes, the show car hides a variety
of new comfort and driver assistance features starting with an interior
rethink, which brings an elongated 12-inch dash-mounted screen, twin-spoke
steering wheel and organic seats with Siamese base cushions.
The new larger monitor relays information to both occupants from the extensive
range of electronic systems fitted to the concept.
An autostereoscopic instrument cluster allows the driver to see the most
important vehicle information in three dimensions and is complemented by a
head-up display.
Like the production version already available in the BMW 7 Series, the concept
also has the option to control on-board functions without touching the various
screens or panels, with the AirTouch gesture control system.
A series of hand motions are detected by cabin sensors to negotiate the large
screen menus that appear as a layout of tiles rather than a more conventional
list. Touch sensors hidden under the leather of the centre console, which
connects the two seats, can also be used to select options.
Self-driving technology is also demonstrated in the car, with three driving
modes that allow the driver to have control of the vehicle when in the Pure
Drive setting, while the Auto Mode assumes full control.
When selected, the steering wheel glows blue and retracts from the driver,
allowing more space for other tasks such as watching films or checking emails
using the large panoramic screen.
A third Assist mode allows the driver to continue enjoying the sensation of
driving but continually monitors the vehicle's surroundings including traffic
and environmental conditions, and will only intervene if the driver does not
react to an impending hazard.
The German car-maker is also exhibiting the Internet of Things, which can
connect futuristic household electronic items to the Cloud for more seamless
operation. For example, a smart mirror would detect a nearby smartphone or
watch and display the day's schedule for the wearer before leaving the house.
The messages would then be passes to the owner's BMW outside.
After receiving its orders, the connected car can fire up air-conditioning or
heating systems and then make its way from a parking space to the owner's front
The system relies on BMW's Open Mobility Cloud which links all users devices
and can continually update a schedule throughout the day and as it changes.
Motorcycle enthusiasts are also catered for at the show with a helmet with a
built-in head up display, while laser diode headlights fitted to the K 1600 GTL
concept is another example of car technology spreading into motorcycle products.
BMW first exhibited laser headlights at CES last year when it rolled out the M4
Concept Iconic Lights.
A growing list of car-makers join BMW at the show each year as many choose the
even as a more relevant show for demonstrating vehicle's increasing dependence
on state of the art electronics.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/6/2014 (1119 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A driver who was pulled over with three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system has received a hefty fine and lengthy driving ban.
Initially, after being pulled over the driver said he'd had three beers, but his blood-alcohol level suggested he'd drank more.
"Quite likely more than three beers," Crown attorney Rich Lonstrup remarked as the driver was sentenced in Brandon court on Thursday.
Nicholas Sean Mini, 29, was fined $1,900 and banned from driving for 18 months.
On May 30, police spotted Mini driving near the corner of Victoria Avenue and Fotheringham Drive.
The reason he was initially stopped differs between Crown and defence. It was for either poor lighting on the vehicle or for an obstructed licence plate.
Mini had no ID, his licence had been suspended, and he had an odour of liquor on his breath.
He said he'd had three beers and showed no signs of being drunk other than the smell of his breath, but tests at the police station showed that he was at three times the legal limit.
Mini — who'd had a number of passengers in the vehicle with him — later admitted that he'd downed 15 cans of beer throughout the night.
Defence lawyer Ryan Fawcett said Mini hadn't been able to pay for his licence.

Roof Repair FAQs in Colonia, NJ
Strong winds blew some shingles off the roof. Can the damaged areas be patched up?
Most of the time your roofing contractor will be able to replace damaged or lost shingles caused by a hail or wind storm. The roofer will install new shingles, along with any necessary sheathing, gutters or underlayment. It's usually a quick and relatively inexpensive repair.
If the extent of the damage is quite severe, it may be worth exploring a shingle roof replacement, especially if the existing shingles are more than 10-15 years old. The average lifespan of a shingle roof is 10-17 years; in this case, replacing all of the shingles may be a more cost-effective option.
DIY roofing repairs vs. hiring a licensed roofing contractor
It's never a good idea to fix your own leaky roof if you have no roofing experience. Even if you have some roofing experience, it's always smart to call a roofing contractor to come take a look at the roof before trying to fix it yourself. The cost savings of a DIY job may be less than you think. Plus, doing your own DIY repair may void the warranty of the roof. These are all things to consider before tackling the repair job on your own.

Report on Respite Night (Fall 2015)

Respite Night is a ministry to families who have children with disabilities and special needs. This ministry provides care for all the children in these families so their parents can go out on a date and love on one another.
Sermon Discussion Questions: When I Am Weak, Then I Am Strong
The following outline and discussion questions have been prepared to accompany my weekend sermon on June 6/7, "When I Am Weak, Then I Am Strong" (2 Corinthians 12:7–10). The questions can be used for discussion in small groups or for personal reflection.
- Paul's first response (v. 7)
- Jesus's answer (v. 7)
- Paul's final response (vv. 8–10)
Main Point: Paul prizes human weakness because it is a prerequisite for the display of divine strength.
When I Am Weak, Then I Am Strong
You may need: Adobe Flash Player.Download Audio
So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.
Why Go to Church If You're Blind AND Deaf?
Brian Walker pointed me to the website of H.B. Charles, Jr, who says a blind and deaf Christian was asked why he attended church, since he could not see or hear the service. He answered, "I just want people to know which side I'm on."

Guest post by Laura Wifler:
The Gift of a Suffering Believer's Wisdom
I'm sitting here with a big stack of books in front of me overwhelmed with gratefulness to God for his work in the lives of those who have written these books or have lived the stories in these books. Most have been through deep waters of suffering and come out on the other side with an understanding and wisdom richer and more valuable than much gold. James uses the phrase "the meekness of wisdom" (James 3:13). The word meekness means humbly patient and long-suffering.
Forgetting the Label to the Glory of God
So many families are facing the hard and perplexing reality of having their child diagnosed with a developmental disorder. Acronyms like PDD-NOS, ADHD, RAD, FASD, OCD and ODD are scribbled onto a child's records with increasing frequency. Almost one child in 100 has an autism spectrum diagnosis. A diagnosis is helpful in some ways for families. It can open the door to receiving medical, therapeutic and educational support. A diagnosis also sheds some light and gives helpful insight to parents or others who are in a child's life.

Planning a Vintage Baby Shower
I'm sure you've heard the saying "what's old is new again". A new baby shower theme is to have a vintage feel to it. What is vintage, you ask? It's an old-fashioned feel to it. You can create a vintage baby shower theme easily with these ideas. To get the vintage feel you have to be in an old-fashioned mind-set. So what would be old-fashioned? Let's start with some food and drink ideas.
Beverages – Think of serving beverages to your guests in glass milk bottles or mason jars. Complete this look with striped, paper straws. Serve iced tea, lemonade or just water with lemons to your guests.
Food – If you're looking for an authentic vintage menu, you can find some interesting recipes and menus on VintageRecipes.net. However, after perusing through some of the menus, I'm not sure if your guests would appreciate some of the fare on them. So use them as a guide to serve your meal. The easiest way to have a vintage menu is to incorporate certain elements that you like. Some menus start with a fruit cup, while others start the meal with soup. Bread pudding seems to have been a popular dessert option. As for the main course, you will need to decide on the meal based on whether you're hosting a brunch, lunch or dinner.
Decorations – There are so many options for vintage baby shower decorations. Bird cages, old-fashioned prams or cradles, lace, doilies, or even pinwheels are all considered vintage. You can also stick with more of a baby vibe by including wooden baby blocks, dolls with open and closing eyes, wind-up toys, fancy rattles, glass bottles, cloth diapers, diaper pins, baby bonnets, etc.
Centrepieces – A simple centrepiece for tables is to take 2-4 peony blooms and put them in a quart mason jar. The blooms are large enough to create a stunning centrepiece without needing more blooms. If you don't want the look of the clear mason jar you can wrap it in a piece of burlap or brown Kraft paper. Another centrepiece idea, which can be incorporated with flowers of just on their own, is to create a centrepiece of pinwheels. Paper pinwheels are very simple to make and you can easily find instructions online.
Favors – this is a new trend in which you should have no problem finding personalized vintage baby shower favors online. If you would like to make your own vintage baby shower favors the easiest way to do that is to fill a small mason jar with some kind of candy. Choose one vintage element for your baby shower or design your entire baby shower theme around it. What is the most difficult choice to make when planning a vintage baby shower? Decorations, food, beverages, favors, etc. For some great ideas on baby gift ideas and personalised baby gifts check out mycutebabygifts.co.uk.
Tips for Finding the Best Table Saws
Buying a new table saw may not seem like it is going to be a challenge, but you will quickly realize that there are hundreds of saws available for you to choose from. Each of these saws has a different feature that will make you want it, but also each saw keeps you on your toes because of the brand name as well. Here are some tips to help guarantee you get the right saw for your workshop. The first tip is to look at the size of the table. Remember the table is going to be larger than the saw blade itself. Since this is the case, you need to make sure the table will fit into your workshop without creating a problem. However, you also need to make sure the table portion of the saw is going to be large enough to handle the wood you plan on putting on the table.
A second tip is to find out what speed the saw blade is turning at. Typically these blades will be rated at a specific RPM. The RPM rating will let you know how well it will cut the wood, but also how fast it is spinning so it gives you an idea on how long it will take for the saw blade to stop turning once you have turned off the machine. Finally you need to consider the brand of the saw, I highly recomend reading up on some reviews, this is my favorite site for table saw reviews. I have used them many times to find the best table saw, vist them here tablesawgeeks.com. While this may not be the first thing you think about, you need to look at the brand name.
When you look at this and start to do some research on the Internet you will typically find out information about how durable the saw is, how long it will last and even how good of a cut it does. All of this information can be found by knowing about the brand and the model of the saw. As many people have found out, buying a table saw is a lot more involved than just going to the store and picking up the first one off the shelf. Instead, people tend to have to do some research and make sure they are using the right saw for their needs. This is when people should know more tips to help guarantee they are selecting the right saw to use in their workshop, without making any mistakes when they buy a saw. for further info check out this wiki page.
Tips on Finding a Great Table Saw
Buying a table saw can be a truly daunting task if you don't quite know what you're looking for. Although you may know how to use one, you'll truly need to decide on which type of saw may be right for you, and for the jobs that you will be doing.
Table saws have come a long way in the past several years so there are several classifications of saws to choose from. There are your typical contractor saws, cabinet saws, portable saws and even hybrids. Each of these has various saw capabilities and it depends on how mobile you need to be when doing your woodworking. I brought a dewalt saw after reading several reviews here at tablesawgeeks,com and here for some dewalt reviews, I hope this helps anyone looking for a new saw.
What Exactly Is An Air Compressor?
An air compressor is a gas powered, or electrically powered, device that converts this power source into what is called kinetic energy. In this particular application, air is pressurized, and by pulling the trigger on the device, the pressurized air is released. So if you have ever used a pressure washer at your local gas station, or one that you have at home, you know that by pulling the trigger, the forced air sends the water out at extremely high velocity, allowing you to use the water going into the system for purposes such as taking off paint on the side of your home before doing a thorough paint job, or cleaning your sidewalks or prepping your deck for staining.
So whether you are going to use one for your staple gun, sandblasting, or using an air blowgun at your workbench, these are all things that an air compressor can be used for. for the best air compressor reviews, check out aircompressorgeeks.com for some great indepth review

Digital Camera Glossary
Table of contents
The aperture refers to the opening of the lens. The size of the aperture determines the amount of light that is allowed through the lens. Common F-stop (aperture) values are F/2.0, F/2.8,F/3.5,F/5.6,F/8,F/16.
Aperture Priority Mode
The Aperture Priority mode can be found in most DSLR and SLR-like cameras and even some compact Digital Camera models. When using the Aperture Priority mode, the camera allows manual setting of the aperture and will auto-calculate the best shutter speed and other exposure settings.
All Digital Cameras feature the Auto Focus (AF) function. In AF mode a Digital Camera automatically focuses on the subject in the center of the image area. However, more and more Digital Cameras are incorporating a multi focus function with some models even providing the capability to select the focus area.
Digital Zoom
Digital zoom is enlargement by software process rather than true optical magnification. Digital zoom can cause significant reductions in image quality.
The EXIF standard supports the storage of extended camera information within the header of each JPEG file. Close to all digital cameras use the EXIF format which records image data such as the time & date, ISO, shutter speed, aperture values, zoom, white balance, and other details.
Manual Focus
Manual Focus mode allows a user to manual control the lenses and set the distance to the subject. It is mainly designed for users who need to shoot in low light conditions, or use macro or special effects. DSLRs and some SLR-like cameras may feature a focusing ring on the lens.
Optical Zoom
Unlike digital zoom, optical zoom is true optical magnification and has almost no negative impact on image quality.
Shutter Speed
Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter remains open to allow light through the lens. The common shutter speed values are 10, 5, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/100, 1/500/, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, measured in seconds. A smaller value corresponds to a faster shutter speed.
Shutter Priority Mode
Shutter Priority mode can be found in most DSLRs and SLR-like cameras and some compact Digital Cameras. When using the Shutter Priority mode, the camera allows manual setting of the shutter speed and will auto-calculate the best aperture size and exposure settings.
The viewfinder presents the image that the camera will take on a small, rear facing LCD screen or window. Viewfinders on digital cameras can also be considered as a focusing instrument. There are about four types of viewfinder on today's digital cameras: Optical, Optical TTL, LCD TTL and EVF (TTL).
TTL = Through-The-Lens (you see exactly what the lens sees)
White Balance
The White balance setting is used to compensate the color temperature of existing light to prevent inaccurate color reproduction.

One Life To Live
At the end of a VERY long and winding road through the forests of Central California, at the base of dwarfing granite slabs, sits a small chapel. This was the perfect setting for two people that adore each other, to make promises that are as strong as the mountains that surrounded them. There is so much meaning and story behind Becky and Eric's unique wedding in the valleys of Yosemite National Park. Seven years of growing together and serving God side by side, culminated into one day of excitement and emotion. All the details of the wedding were a direct reflection of who they are, and the experiences they have been through. It was an honor to witness the vulnerable vows this couple shared; they were completely transparent. We didn't force them to read their cards from one another (which we never do), everything that we were able to capture was 100% authentic. For Becky and Eric this day wasn't about the flowers and the dinner menu, it was about them, their love and God. SO RAD!
We took advantage of the opportunity not afforded very often, of shooting in Yosemite National Park. We woke up earlier than roosters to head out into the freezing cold, and get morning time lapses and scenery shoots. It was rad to have that opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and capture some of the most amazing creations on the earth. We knew that this location was so important to Becky and Eric and we wanted to do our best to incorporate its vast beauty into the film that they would treasure for a life time. You often don't see a lot of "establishment" shots in our films. When a wedding is held in a hotel or other venues that don't have as much meaning to the story, we feel there are better ways to show who the couple really is. However in this case… the scenery compliments the couples story and who they are perfectly.
There was so much meaning and emotion behind the conversation that happened throughout the day that we picked a sound track from Tim Halperin that would match the emotion and pacing of the days of events. So not distract in anyway from the dialogue of the day, we used both the instrumental and lyrical track for the song. Both of these are licensed through The Music Bed. Using both tracks gave us the ability to use only instrumental during the dialogue heavy parts of the film, and then bring in the lyrics to break it up and fill in where there is not as much dialogue.
The chapel was extremely dark with yellow lighting. Lets just say that New Blue FX, color fixer plus saved our tushies on this one. We were able to take extremely under exposed and yellow footage and make it look more natural and radtastic.
We can't thank Becky and Eric enough for letting us be a small part of their lives…
