Posts Tagged 'newborn photography safety'
This post has been floating around in my head for at least the past year, so I decided this week to take a crack at blogging it. Just about everyone I know is having a baby in 2012, including myself, and since there will be a period of time that I can't take on any newborn clients, these are the questions I will be telling my best friends and family to ask before choosing their newborn photographer.
Newborn photography is an increasingly popular genre of photography these days. It seems each week a new baby photographer pops up on Facebook. Given the lower cost of digital equipment, the availability of ready-made websites, and the massive reach of social media, you can literally start a business with just a few clicks of the mouse today. This can be a good thing for consumers, and a very bad thing for consumers. It creates a more competitive marketplace and for those who are active online and do their research, there are some very good deals to be had. It is also a great time to start a business. Many of the most successful businesses I know locally have seen wonderful success through internet marketing (including ours!). The downside is that it also becomes hard to discern fly-by-night businesses from true professionals. Think of some of your favorite business pages on Facebook. Can you answer any of these questions about them: How long have they been in business? What kind of training and education do they have? Is their business registered in the state in which they operate? Are they insured? Where is their physical business located? How can you contact them outside of Facebook and are there any business hours during which you know you could reach them?
It might not matter to you much if you're hiring a photographer who is going to burn all of your digitals onto a disk for $100. Heck, it's not a huge loss. Who cares if you don't love the images or if they aren't in business tomorrow? It's worth a shot to try them right? Well, with newborn photography, it should matter to you.
First, the period in which you can have newborn portraits taken is fleeting and very brief. Most newborn portraits are taken within the first month of life, often under 2 weeks of age. If you miss that period, or worse, hire someone that disappoints you, the opportunity to create newborn portraits is over. Much like wedding photography, there's only one chance to get it right!
Most importantly, this is your very tiny, helpless newborn child. A newborn is a human life, not a photographer's prop. You are entrusting them in the hands of someone you just met (or maybe just found on Facebook, YIKES). I remember how I felt when the nurse first took Giuliana away at the hospital. That gut-wrenching need to hold and protect the baby I just gave birth to. And that was a NURSE!
Note: I've created this post to highlight what I feel are important questions to ask when researching a photographer for your baby. The Newborn Photography industry is not regulated, nor is there a way to become certified. There are no right or wrong answers to many of these questions (although I will say that questions regarding safety in newborn photography should be considered seriously). It is up to anyone as a consumer to decide for themselves what answers make them feel most comfortable before investing their money with a professional. My intention is simply to get you to ASK.
Please, do your research and consider these things before hiring your newborn photographer.
Newborn photography is an art form and each photographer is an artist. When you are hiring a photographer, first consider their style. Baby photography can range from documentary black and whites to highly styled sets, from modern family candids to formal family portraits, from traditional newborn portraits posed on black to the use of colorful and whimsical props. Editing can range from soft and dreamy to sharp and full of contrast. When hiring a photographer for my family, I waited until I fell IN LOVE with someone's work. I knew that every time I looked at their portraits in my home, my heart would sing. I saved up to go to them, rather than going 3 or 4 times to someone else who's photos may never make it past an album on Facebook.
It's often overwhelming to narrow down your choices. Style is a very personal choice and if you aren't sure what you like, a good idea is to start with browsing photographer's websites. A website portfolio is often the photographer's BEST work. Out of all of the portraits the photographer has ever taken, these are their FAVORITES. If you don't like the images on the website, move on, because chances are the BEST images from your session are going to look much like that… if you're lucky! If the photographer has a blog, even better. A blog is often a photographer's most recent work and can be updated daily. Our blog is full of sneak previews for clients, just a few images from every session we shoot here. Some blogs highlight full sessions, others showcase favorite images much like a portfolio. Find out what the blog is showcasing and you can look for consistency in the photographer's work. A good photographer should get results you love at every session. Which brings me to my next point.
Experience should always be considered when hiring a photographer, but especially a newborn photographer. Experience should not just include how long the photographer has been in business, but also how long they have specialized in the genre that you are hiring them for. Ask prospective photographers how long they have been in business and how long they have been photographing newborns. Also, about how many newborns do they photograph a month? I've actually only been in business a little over 3 years. That's young in the business world! But I also photograph hundreds of newborns a year (an average of 3 newborns each week). There might be someone who has been in business for 10 years and never photographed a newborn, or someone just starting out who was a neonatal nurse in their past career! You don't know until you ask.
Why is it important to consider? I can tell you my newborn portraits today are leagues above my portraits from a year ago and a world away from my portraits of 2 years ago. I'm still learning more about newborns in every single session. With experience comes skill and consistency. Just being a parent does not make you a newborn expert (although I may have thought I was one after my first child). I think you can judge by how many people give you unwarranted baby advice just how many people out there think they are baby experts!
Every baby is so different from the last. There are endless variations in how each newborn eats, falls asleep, likes to be held and positioned, how heavily they sleep and how easily they wake, and their overall disposition. Experience allows the photographer to read a newborn's temperament from the moment they walk in the door and create a session that keeps a newborn comfortable and happy. A newborn should never be forced into a pose or a prop they are uncomfortable in.
Good newborn photography takes a very high level of skill. Anyone starting out will remark at how hard it can be. Over time you learn babies and fine tune your practices. This leads to overall quality and consistency. No matter what the baby's temperament, a good newborn photographer should be able to achieve beautiful newborn portraits out of EVERY SINGLE SESSION. If you hear a photographer excuse poor photos with "well, the baby just wouldn't sleep" or "they wouldn't settle down" or "all they wanted to do was eat": be weary. Babies run the show. Some DO want to cluster feed, some will want to stay up the whole session, some will be fussy or gassy. A good newborn photographer observes your baby and allows what they see to inform the poses they choose during a session. If your baby is alert, I'm never going to try a hanging shot. I'm sorry. If they like their arms tucked in tight, I'm not going to force them to be propped up on their hands. No matter how much you love the shot.
An experienced newborn photographer should be able to comfort your baby, to work with them whether they are awake or asleep, and to create a gallery of beautiful portraits no matter what. After just about every newborn session I shoot, parents will remark: "Thank you for being so patient. You're like the baby whisperer. It was so fun to watch. Can you come home with us?" Those are the best compliments I can receive.
A baby photographer needs to be good with babies first and foremost or you will never get the results you envision.
This is probably going to be a hot button issue in this post, but I'm telling you what I would tell my best friends and this is it: After running a growing photography business for the past few years I can guarantee you that someone who charges $200 for a DVD of all of the digital images from a newborn session is either A: portfolio building and doesn't mind losing money on your session (so likely has little experience in the genre), B: has very little business and is just trying to get clients in the door (not knocking it, but you should certainly consider why their business is hurting), C: will either be out of business soon or forced to increase their prices. Here's why:
Every business is different. I own a studio that has a full time salaried staff of 4 highly educated and experienced professionals. Our pricing is going to be different than, say, when I ran the business out of my home on a laptop. It doesn't mean one is better than the other, just different business models. I can tell you however, and I know every legitimate business in the country will back me on it, all businesses have a huge list of taxes, insurances and other fees (lawyers, accountants, payroll, unemployment, etc) that go into staying afloat. Add all of that boring mumbo-jumbo to the fact that a newborn session takes 3-4 hours of shooting time, plus 6-8 hours of editing, equipment and image storage costs, gallery hosting, (I could go on and on), if anyone out there can profit off of only $200 when all of that is taken out of it, they should be teaching economics at Harvard.
I'm not saying don't take advantage of a deal. Just know that there is a reason you are paying those prices and take the time to research WHY. Is it their experience? Is it the quality of the images? Is it their low overhead? You're taking a chance and you could end up with a great deal on an up-and-comer or you could waste $200 and miss out on your chance for the newborn portraits you were hoping for, or worse, endanger your newborn.
Safety Practices:
This is another hot-button topic in the newborn photography industry today. There are some wonderful articles on newborn safety already written, so I won't rewrite the book. Please take a look at these articles as they are a great wealth of information:
National Association of Professional Children's Photographers
Take Off Your Mommy Goggles (a website full of resources)
After reading through some of the biggest issues in newborn safety above, here are some safety related questions you can ask your potential newborn photographer:
If the photographer is not coming to your home, what is the environment that you will be bringing your baby into? Please go visit beforehand if you can! You should make every effort to meet with your newborn photographer and ensure you are comfortable with them before you hand your baby over to them. Their studio should be cleaned regularly and be set up for babies as you will be spending a good deal of time there, usually when you are still recovering from delivery.
How do they achieve their more difficult portraits? Often if you look at a portrait and say "how did they get a baby to do that?", the photographer composited a series of images together to achieve the portrait. That means they took multiple images in which baby was always safely supported and then spent a good deal of time in photoshop editing the images together to seem as if baby was really in that remarkable position! If they didn't, they are risking the safety of the baby. The time and skill it takes to produce such images safely is another reason why you may pay more for that photographer. Ask photographers how they created those remarkable images. Babies should never be placed high above the ground without someone spotting them, placed in an object that could tip over without support, hung without support, or placed in glass containers. All of the images below were created using compositing.
Is their business insured? What if, god forbid, something should happen to your baby in the hands of this photographer who is practicing risky newborn posing techniques?
Do babies look comfortable in the photographer's images? Newborn babies are very flexible and love being curled up into the positions that they were in in the womb. Babies should easily curl into these poses and their faces should be relaxed and peaceful in the final image. If a baby looks uncomfortable in a pose, they probably were. If they look like they were trying to squirm out of it, they probably were. I can't even begin to convey to you how a portrait of a baby with their face buried in a bean bag or squirming on a hard surface makes me cringe! Who wants a picture of that? Peaceful baby photos are not magic. The baby really was peaceful. Some poses take a little comforting, or some time with a binky if baby is about to wake up from being moved, but your photographer should be able to comfort your baby and keep them happy.
Are parents allowed to watch the session? Every photographer is different in this respect. Personally, I love having the parents watch me work. I want them to see how comfortable their baby is with me. Actually, I even have the parents come over and help with some of the poses. Often they are the ones helping to hold the baby in some of the composites or sitting right beside a set up to ensure baby's safety. I know I wouldn't trust someone to take my newborn into another room and not allow me in for 3 hours, but that's just me. It is sometimes easier for the photographer if nervous parents are not in the room with the baby, as the baby responds to a parent's energy, but usually after a few minutes of watching me work, mom and dad lose any nervousness they may have had. I'd rather take a little extra time so that mom and dad can enjoy watching the experience and feel 100% confidence in me.
Business Practices:
In a market where it can be hard to discern a legitimate business out from the crowd, one last thing to consider is the business practices of the photographer or studio you hire.
What happens if baby is born early or late (as they usually are)? Can the photographer get you in early or reschedule you to a later date. Newborn photographers are often more highly priced because they need to maintain flexibility in their schedule to move around their newborn sessions. Rather than jam-packing our schedule, we must limit the number of sessions we take each week to ensure each newborn is photographed within the first two weeks of life.
What is the general timeline for a session? How long will it take to see your final gallery, create birth announcements, receive your printed album? How long will it take for someone to get back to you if you call? I know it takes me a staff of 4 people full time to manage 6-7 sessions a week and maintain the level of customer service and quality of product that I am proud of. While it does take time to edit, design and produce orders, it shouldn't take 6 months to receive an album, and you wouldn't want birth announcements going out when baby is 5 months old. Not everyone needs a staff, but if you hire someone who shoots high quantity at low prices, know that you may sacrifice some level of quality and service.
Do you sign a business contract before the session? A photographer's contract protects you as much as it protects them. A contract should outline all of the photographer's business policies and be signed and agreed upon before your session date. And please, take time to read the contract and all of the policies before you sign the dotted line!
Reviews: Ask around town! Don't trust everything good you hear, and don't trust everything bad you hear. I remember I once had someone who never even booked with us write a bad review online because I couldn't photograph her on a specific weekend (we're not even open on weekends). With that being said however, if you repeatedly hear complaints about a studio's service or quality, you should give it some thought. Also, don't trust every good review you read online. I have a folder full of screen shots on my computer from start up photographers who have copied everything from my "about me" section to the reviews my clients have written off of my website. Don't trust everything you see online. Anyone with some start up cash or a little copy and paste skill can have a professional website that looks pretty trustworthy in just a few days time.
Please don't stop at a photographer's website or facebook page. Take some time and be an informed consumer. Know what you are spending your money on. Your baby is worth it!

It appears from Wikipedia that the oldest theater in continuous use is in Denmark, but since so much of the film industry is dominated by Hollywood, I was wondering what is the oldest movie theater in the United States.
The Scenic Theatre in North Dakota claims to be the oldest continually operating theatre on its website. From their website footnote They claim they opened in 1911. The Newtown Theatre also claims to be the oldest. If true this would make it older than the Scenic Theatre. Both of these however, don't say whether they regularly showed movies to the public in the early days or not. The Nickelodeon Theatre in Pittsburgh was the first genuine movie theatre in the US. It opened in June, 1905 so you're not going to get any earlier than that. It shut down in the 1910s, I think. |
From Wikipedia |
The Priest Theatre in High Springs, Florida has been operating since 1910. It was a vaudville movie house before film. |

Best move for black is .... . Could cluster solve this one?
2rqr1k1/1p2pp2/p2n2p1/3PNb1p/8/1Q4PP/PP2RPB1/4R1K1 b - - 0 22
usually they wont put it on the cluster unless you tell them the move because the think youre cheating... which they accused me of when i did the same thing. im very strong postal player and i dont really see any strange tactical devices at first glance.
engine`s Qa5 with ok position for black but this move is forced lost
black wins or black defends white win?
i think i can refute 1...Qa5 with 2.Qe3 Qxa2 3.g4 hxg4 4.hxg4 Bc2 5.Qh6 6.Qxb2 Bf3
I don't know if this is the hardest position or not, but it reminds me that I have discovered a lot of positions that she has a very difficult time analyzing and assessing.
Qa5 is forced losing 1:0
maybe its Kg7
Show me how ?
g4 Qe3 --> Qh6 1:0 its the plan
1...Bd7 2.a4 Kg7 3.g4 hxg4 4.hxg4 Rc7 5.Qd3 Qc8 6.Qd4 f6 7.Nxd7 Qxd7 8.g5 Nf5 9.Qd2 Rf8 =
Should I interpret this problem as "black to move and draw" ?
Ja Ja Ja Ja Ja 1...Bd7 2.a4 Kg7 3.g4 hxg4 4.hxg4 Rc7 5.Qd3 Qc8 6.Qd4 f6 7.Nxd7 Qxd7 8.g5 Nf5 9.Qd2 Rf8 =
he he he :)
he he he :)
I see very strong movi for black, but I want see depth 26 on my deep rybka. Tommorow I post strongest step for black - a) what I see and b) what is 26 depth of deep rybka 3.
I think I have seen harder test positions before.

Description: Hank is a real Colorado gardener who left the cold winters of his native state to become a landscaper in paradise. He has replaced riding horses with running on the beach and swimming every day. He explained that he has no problem being naked, because as a young boy he would visit his aunt at the nudist (FKK) resort where she lived. He has enjoyed being naked outdoors since he was a school student. This 27 year old muscle stud is a joy to be around. In the video you will hear how excited he becomes when talking about a special surf break he wants to visit someday in California. He loves his job on the Island trimming trees and is happy to do some palm tree cleaning in the raw for my cameras. You will be pleased with Hank's great butt as he bends over to clear coconuts. And yes, I caught him jerking it in his Jeep when I left for a minute to fetch a new lens! Good Boy, Hank! After a sweating in his ride, Hank showers off with the garden hose. I also needed to get wet, so I stripped down and asked Hank to turn the water on me. Look at the smile on this Island Stud's face as he hoses down his photographer. There are so many great photos and video footage of Hank and his beautiful hose that I decided to show it all over two weeks. Here is the first half of this sexy hunk loose on the Islands.

Grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats, and then aged in Nevers oak barrels for an additional seven months. To preserve the full character of the Umbrian terroir, the wine is bottled without filtration or excessive manipulation. Deep ruby in color, with a refined aroma of wild herbs, blackberry, and light vanilla, this fresh, medium-bodied wine pairs especially well with traditional Italian dishes, such as pasta with meat sauce, braised beef or pork, and spicy Italian sausage. -- Ben Giliberti

Sail-World.com : Solo sailor nearly through the Northwest Passage!
Solo sailor nearly through the Northwest Passage!
'Matt Rutherford in the NW Passage - Solo Circumnavigation of the Americas' Matt Rutherford
Here's an update from Matt Rutherford as he attempts to circumnavigate the Americas non-stop and alone!
So, I was delivering a boat (Godspeed) to Antigua with Simon Edwards and Tag (Al Hunt). I was telling Tag about this idea I had during my second single-handed trans-Atlantic. I was thinking about trying to start a non-profit in Annapolis MD that would give sailing opportunities to the disabled.
Tag said 'have you ever heard of C.R.A.B?' I said 'what's C.R.A.B?' And that is how this whole thing started. C.R.A.B (Chesapeake Regional Assessable Boating) is an Annapolis based non-profit that has been giving people with mental and physical disabilities sailing opportunities for 20 years.
After that delivery Simon and I flew from Antigua to Puerto Rico, jumped on a catamaran and delivered that to Annapolis. While in Annapolis I called Don Backe and found out more about C.R.A.B. After delivering another boat from Puerto Rico to Annapolis (with Mike 'da web mast') I finally brought my boat up from the Caribbean which completed my Annapolis to Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and back trip.
I had a little money saved up from the boat deliveries so when I got back to Annapolis instead of getting a normal job I did volunteer work with C.R.A.B. Karl would show up at 8am and we would get bagels and coffee, then off we went to do some bottom job or try to get some old funky atomic four started.
One day after looking at a 25 foot folkboat C.R.A.B. had for sale I said to Don 'You should let me take that boat up to the Northwest Passage and we'll raise some money for C.R.A.B'. I thought he would laugh at me but he thought it was a good idea. Andy Shell wrote an article in Spinsheet which two C.R.A.B. volunteers (Colin and Lee) read – and they said 'instead of taking the 25 Folkboat why don't you take our 27 Albin Vega'. So they swapped out their Vega for a hunter C.R.A.B. and now we had a good trip and a good boat.
I don't own St Brendan, when I say 'my boat' I'm using 'my' loosely. It's mine in spirit, and C.R.A.B.'s by ownership. I own a Pearson 323, which is on the hard right now at Ferry Point Marina. Once we had the Vega then the huge task of raising money began. Somehow it all worked out – we are trying to raise money for C.R.A.B. two ways. Either on a money for miles basis. In other words a person would donate x amount per mile. At a penny a mile it would be a $230 donation (round about) – as long as I complete the entire trip. At a dollar a mile it would be a bunch of money.
Someone could also make a one time general donation with their credit card for any amount. It's all tax deductible (if you live in the states). All of this can be done in the 'how I can help' section of my
. Please let people know about this trip – the more people know, the more money we can raise. If I were to complete this trip and raise no money the trip would be a failure.
The conditions have been mostly light since my last entry. I had some sun yesterday and was able to get my asymmetrical sail fixed. I flew the sail until 5:30 this morning then the wind picked up and I had to drop it. I tried to unfurl my jib but my furler is jammed. I've seen quite a few furlers jam before but this is a strange one. I've tried everything I can in 20kts of wind so I have to wait until the wind dies and climb my mast and see if I can fix it. I'm not too worried, things break around here all the time. So I finish the Northwest Passage under main sail alone. I guess it's fitting.
Tonight I will celebrate with my last glass of warm sake. The celebration will be short. Completing the Northwest Passage in any boat is a good achievement but the Northwest Passage is just one piece of a much larger pie. This is a non-stop circumnavigation of the Americas; I must keep my eye on the ball. I must reach the Chesapeake Bay, anything less would be a failure.

I feel more excited to find out if I am selected for the Nike Half Marathon lottery than I was when we bought tickets for the $640 million jackpot. Nike didn't mention when they were going to announce the winners of the random draw but it should hopefully be by the end of the week.
I signed up with my best friend in another state and two co-workers who already run with one another. I've come to terms with the fact that I am dependent on other people to motivate myself. I rely on other people to keep me on track and it is damn near impossible to log a lot of miles at my own free will. My current running partner doesn't pace herself, doesn't run with music and has been barefoot running for about a year already:

nice clean and tidy site with spotless facilities and a friendly welcome. Close to lake, supermarket, bus station and plenty of pubs (although you wouldn't know it as this site is so peaceful). local Rugby Club has a great menu including breakfast and is child friendly.

A lovely clean and friendly site. We visited for the Jubilee weekend and the site was quite busy but well organised. We prefer this to the Keswick site as it is quieter and it doesnt bother us that there isnt electric, only wish there was an outside washing up area for campers. A definate must if you want to be near the town centre or a good starting point for walking etc. but lovely to come back to knowing you can relax without lots of noise.

Used the site whilst backpacking the Cumbria Way. The owners are extremely friendly & helpful. The site is very clean and although only 2 minutes from the town you could be in the middle of the country with wild Ducks, Rabbits & Pheasant on the site. No dishwashing facilities on the Oval campsite is the only fault this fabulous campsite has. Luckily this didn't cause a problem as there is a great Indian Restaurant 5 minutes walk away. Would definitely return if in the area.

What a lovely, peaceful site. Beautifully maintained and really clean. Whilst it's only a small site compared to some and facilites are a bit limited we found it perfect, had a nice relaxing time.

we regularly stayed on Walker Park 10 year ago with our trailer tent and we loved it then,two years later we sold the trailer tent and went back to a tent. In those days you could not pitch a tent on Walker Park but to our amazement we were camping at another site in Keswick this year and we went for a walk round the camping and caravan club sites and thats when we found out you could pitch tents on walker park. We booked to stay the week after and it is still a lovely little site with friendly , helpful wardens and lovely clean amenities. Its within easy reach of the town and we can't wait to go back!!!!!!!!
LOCATION: Town,Country,Secluded,Lake
Welcome was not as good as previous sites - almost felt we were interupting! Pitch was flat but facilities on site basic (portacabin) although they were clean. Would only recommend to anyone wanting a basic site within easy access of Keswick. Also note - club 'big sites book' advertises different prices for oval\the walker but we were charged for oval and sited on walker.
MEMBER FOUND TOWING: Moderate
LOCATION: Town
We spent our best Christmas ever at this site. It is in a very peaceful location, yet within easy walking access of the town and many walks so the break can be as active or as peaceful as you like. The wardens were extremely friendly and helpful and the mulled wine on Christmas Eve was a lovely treat! Yes, the showers/toilets are in a portababin, but extremely clean and the warmest we've experienced. So good was the break that we've booked for Christmas and New Year 2012/13!

I have been coming to Walker Park for a number of years, sometimes with a female friend but always with my 2 dogs. The site is ideal if you want a quiet basic pitch, the toilets and shower block is clean, and Keswick is a short walk away. As dogs are allowed on site it is inevitable that at some time they will take the opportunity to escape and have a sniff around, slip the lead, or leap out as soon as the door is opened. My only gripe is that when, on the occasions this has happened I know that within a few minute I will be approached by Staff Member telling me to keep the dogs on the lead. I know they are to be on leads but please be more compassionate and accept this will happen and allow for this. It is not done intentionally. A Staff Member at another C&C club site commented that they accept this does happen and would only intervene if the dog/dogs were CAUSING PROBLEMS ON A REGULAR BASIS. I am sure others have been in the same situation.
DATE STAYED: September 2011

This is a lovely little site. The toilets are in a portacabin - but they are some of the cleaniest Ive come across - well done. The site is well placed to explore Keswick and the surrounding Lakeland area. The staff were lovely and the warden is an absolute expert at giving reversing instructions to drivers to help them get parked. We will definately visit again later in the year.

this site is an ideal location for keswick only a two minute walk to the town centre. Portaloos only for the toilet facilities but they are warm and scrupulously clean. no awnings allowed due to the ground on which the site is built and it would not do to puncture the surface(old waste disposal works or something).one of our favourite sites for all times of year.

Rajon Rondo for Dwight Howard trade report denied by Lakers GM
"I haven't talked to [Celtics president] Danny Ainge in weeks," Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak told ESPN.
According to ESPN, Kupchak was asked if the Rondo-for-Howard notion was discussed the last time he spoke with Ainge and Kupchak said no, and that the concept has not been discussed at all this season.
CBSSports.com reported late Friday that the teams have had preliminary talks on a Rondo-for-Howard deal.
Howard, speaking at the NBA All-Star Game, told reporters the Lakers have told him he would not be traded.
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday.

Twin Cities Resource Center to Reopen in Minneapolis
Every day, kids in the Twin Cities come to school without the supplies they need. But this Tuesday, a "store" where 3,000 teachers get supplies for free will reopen in Minneapolis after being closed for the past year.
The Kids in Need Foundation helped open the Twin Cities Resource Center in 1999 and had provided the supplies. Last year, it closed when the organization providing the warehouse space and staffing pulled out.
"The word we kept hearing was a big 'void.' That this was something they were dependent upon for several years prior to that and all of the sudden it was just gone," said Dave Smith, Executive Director for the Kids in Need foundation.
Now, Kids in Need will run the center with help from corporate sponsors Target, 3M, General Mills and TCF.
Maria Hoekstra, second grade teacher at Sojourner Truth Academy in Minneapolis, was able to visit the resource center last month.
"We didn't know what to expect. So when we came in and saw what this was, we were giddy," Hoekstra said. "I had a shopping cart full of stuff and I was holding it on top to keep it from falling off. And I think I was even kicking something on the floor along with me."
Teachers "spend" about $350 per visit. The supplies will help 40,000 kids.
"To be able to take things like markers and crayons and rulers and things that our kids really need but don't have was awesome because we didn't have to spend our own money to get those things that they really need," Hoekstra said.
The Twin Cities Resource Center is open four days a week and teachers can sign up online. The center serves schools in Minneapolis and St. Paul where at least 70 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
The Kids in Need foundation has more than two dozen shopping facilities nationwide. You can help by making a monetary donation or dropping off excess merchandise. Click here to donate or learn more. You can also call the Twin Cities Resource Center at (612) 465-0135.

FAQs Land Use & Agriculture
What is carbon sequestration?
What carbon sequestration occurs in zerocarbonbritain2030?
What is carbon sequestration?
While they are growing plants take carbon dioxide out of the air, release the oxygen and store the carbon. When they die and rot or burn the carbon is released back into the air.
It is possible to increase the amount of carbon locked up at any one time by increasing the amount of living biomass in existence- for example by planting forests. While these are growing they are a carbon 'sink'- removing carbon dioxide from the air. Over time a new equilibrium level will be reached, at which stage they become a carbon reservoir.
It is also possible to increase the amount of carbon locked up by interrupting the cycle half way through and preventing the dead biomass from rotting or burning, for example by turning wood into preserved human artefacts. In this form sequestered carbon can accumulate over time.
A lot of carbon from plants is also stored below ground in soils. It is sometimes possible to increase the amount of carbon stored in soils by changing land management practices, but as with above ground biomass, this cannot continue indefinitely. At some point a new equilibrium level is reached.
However, an exception appears to be if biomass is turned into charcoal by heating it in conditions of limited oxygen before it is returned to the soil. In this form micro-organisms have difficulty breaking it down and turning it back into carbon dioxide, allowing it to build up to a greater degree over much longer time frames. This technology is called "biochar".
What carbon sequestration occurs in zerocarbonbritain2030?
We use all of the techniques described above. New forests are planted, soil sequestration is increased through better management practices, biomass is grown and then used as building materials and also stored in engineered biomass silos, and biochar is created and incorporated into soils.
In the scenario there is a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions relative to today's levels. This sequestration is required to cancel out the remaining 10%.

Specialized Hauling
Trucking Industry Trends For 2013
Truckload carriers consistently innovate to keep their business profitable, especially through driver retention and service diversification. Carriers are diversifying the business options with bigger margin services, which include logistics, brokerage, intermodal services, dedicated services, specialized hauling, and LTL to TL consolidation. Major truckload carriers who are looking to diversify are doing so in dedicated services and brokerage services. Mentioned below are findings of surveys which point to the existing factors at play in the trucking industry.
Driver retention
The primary factor for driver retention is driver miles. Utilization and turnover are tied directly to the pay miles of the driver. The turnover rates very closely follow the revenue mile in every week of a driver. Organizations with the most number of driver logs are usually the ones with very low rates of turnover. This indicates that as utilization increases, the turnover decreases. Trucks sitting around in a garage can affect the overall retention and driver morale, apart from the financial performance of the company. While the home time may be an important factor, to be constantly productive drivers should spend that time away from home.
The fleet downtime has continued to pose challenges for companies. In surveys, it has been reported that almost 6% of tractor fleets in companies have not been up and running in the past year. This is quite alarming, as anything above 5% is generally considered to be unacceptable. Also, the mean life of truck fleets is pegged at 44 months, which is more than what is ideal. This has resulted in more unscheduled breakdowns, which negatively affects the asset utilization. Specialized hauling can also affect the downtime of trucks, if it hasn't been conducted properly.
Operating Ratio
Increasing equipment costs, driver constraints, labor, and government regulations are a few factors that keep the operating ratio (OR) quite high. In a recent survey, it was found that 71% of respondents reported an OR of 94% or more. The best industry performers have operating ratios less than 90%. There is a strong correlation between OR and utilization, and as such it becomes clear why the issue of OR is among the top in fleet priorities.
Asset Utilization
The respondents of the survey discussed above described the toughest challenge in the next couple of years to be maximizing the asset utilization. The mean utilization – the revenue miles per week of a seated truck – was found to be 2230. Companies having this figure less than 2000 were found to have an OR of more than 97%. Specialized hauling can come in play in asset utilization also.
The increasing regulations, rising equipment prices, and constraints in driver operations, have all led to a tough time for trucking companies to stay afloat and profitable. Having management based on metrics is essential for keeping any trucking company competitive. Some of the progressive trucking companies have started investing in and deploying new technologies to improve their asset utilization, such as specialized hauling, and have been reporting positive outcomes since then. As such, the other trucking companies have to realize their potential and work on the factors discussed above to change the status of their business from barely afloat to a profitable company.
In order to stay profitable, trucking companies need to approach their business through metrics-based systems and stay up-to-date with the new technologies and trends in the industry.
Oversize Load Trucking Companies
Oversize Load Trucking Companies
The drive to get benefits of outsourcing has far exceeded the systems and processes required to effectively maintain the global supply chain. Many importers, such as oversize load trucking companies, lack a formal solution to efficiently manage international transportation. They are adept at domestic transportation, but lack the skills for airfreight and containerized transportation services. Technology is the key in making it possible to curtail the escalating transportation costs for international freights.
To ensure that transportation is carried out successfully and at lower operational costs, there are three main steps that you can follow:
- Maintain the searches centrally and offer searches for total rates.
- Optimize the selection of carriers before booking them.
- Correctly pay the bills of lading.
Centrally managed data
Centrally managing important data pertaining to total rate search and contracts can help in reducing the overall operational costs. You can access the various freighting rates of oversize load trucking companies and other carriers by using a powerful search engine. This means that the users of the service don't have to know anything about airfreight or ocean freight pricing. They can simply enter details such as origin, destination, and date, compare the services available with each other, and choose a carrier that can offer the best service and price.
By monitoring the carrier's tariff rules you can chart out a route that is flexible as well as optimized for the transportation service you are seeking. You can check out the approved carriers and their operational costs on powerful search engines and decide the best option from the available choices.
Optimized carrier selection
The key to cutting down on transportation costs is to automate the carrier selection process and quickly identify all the options available to you, to make better cost and service tradeoffs before initiating the booking process. Shippers efficiently manage contracts and optimize selection of carriers, such as oversize load trucking companies, by automating the contracts with Transportation Management. You can search for a wide range of rates and routing options in a powerful search engine as described above, and choose the best option based on your needs.
Paying the bills of lading on time
With complex rules and specially negotiated contracts, you can expect much higher number of cases of carrier rating errors in oversize load trucking companies and other carriers. You can use the search engines described above to search the actual date of shipping to initiate the lading's service parameters bills auditing process. This takes only a few minutes at most, and is simple enough to be done by employees under you.
Once you have rated the bill and calculated a bottom line, you can easily determine if the variance has gone "out of tolerance" and needs more study. You can dive into the charge details with a simple click and determine where the discrepancy has occurred. You can even share this with the carrier so that they can correct it as required. Reducing the overall international freight costs can leave you with margin for profit, which you can then invest elsewhere to grow your business.
As the prices for international freighting continues to escalate, it has become important to optimize the routing and pricing so as to cut down on the high costs of operation.

Kotsu Question 2: What was the creepiest or "scariest" in DB/DBZ/DBGT?
So what was that one moment for you that was just kinda creepier than anything else, or even a little bit scary? For me, it was when Buu killed Smitty by forcing his way down Smitty's throat until he got all prego looking and fat then BA-BOOM! Gruesome explosion. So I was curious, what was yours?

I am worried there is a serious bug in XQuery assertions, but I am hoping this is just some config thing I'm missing. I just noticed that one of our test cases passed, even though it should be failing (related to Google socialgraph being retired recently). I ran the exact same test with soapUI 4.0.1 and it failed the assertion as expected.
I have this XML returncode:
And it passes this XQuery assertion:
count(socialgraph/confirmedMatch) > 0
With expected result:
Even though the result clearly is 'false'.
I was able to get it to work properly, by removing the xml tags from the expected result (it now fails the assertion) - but this is definitely different from 4.0.1. I can change those XML tags in the expected result to anything <BLAH>whatever</BLAH> and the assertion passes. The worst part is though, that if you use 'select from current' to prime the assertion as it were, it still puts in those xml-fragment tags around the true/false, but they make the assertion meaningless, it seems.
Am I just missing something basic here or is this indeed a serious bug? I'm concerned this invalidates a whole range of our tests.

Got some good ideas for all of them and Hell, might even post some vids of them anyway.
I'll try to do 2, 4, 9, 10,12, 13, 14, 18, and 28. I'll get some friends to help.
Sorry I have'nt checked in a while. I've been busy with trips, getting money for trips, summer school projects, and other things.
I've always contributed stories to this site and the project, but after seeing some of these ideas for videos, I really think some of them could be do-able...by me. I've never really had a lot of confidence in my video shooting skills, but I luv some of these scenarios, and I'm definitely going to give them a go!
since i was chosen as a key contributor these are the scenarios i'm going to do.
3come on any one who knows me knows zombie weapons are my thing.
18already did a video like this but i'm gonna re make it just for this attempt.
19again right up my ally but do we need to test them on zombies cause then its a little harder but i can do it.
23?i have an idea for this but ill have to see if i can get more people to help me with it. maybe ill put up fliers for actors.
25 got a great idea for this, kinda explored it in another video on here but this time i get to put a better spin on it.
30?i can do this one, a little harder if though if i need to show the zombies outside.
31 right up my ally already got a script planing.
32 as long as i can just show a bloody bandage i got this one.
34i can do this one two, the one on one with the camera thing is me specialty, manly cause i don't have anyone to help me.

A week after the June Primary Election, results show that I didn't quite make it on to the Central Committee.
Although, there's a little less than 18,000 ballots left to count throughout the county, I'm certain to gain more however, whatever remaining ballots are left won't be enough to flip the results in my favor. It happens. Out of 17 candidates, I squarely ended up in the middle of the pack.
In fact, the final 6th place spot could go to either Clinton Soffer or Scott Rieker with 93 votes separating them. Continue reading

what concerns you? Im not finding the specific max temp for that CPU, but the vast majority of modern temps have a maximum safe temperature around 140 degrees F. or 60 degrees C. All your temps look fine.

CPUtin as far as I understand it, is not the temperature your cores are at but the temperature the top of the CPU is running at, and its extremely innacurate in a lot of systems, especially those with ASUS motherboards (a quick google search of people with similar issues turns up most have ASUS boards) If all your core temps are fine, I wouldnt worry about it, and in all honesty i think that hwmonitor displays way to much information-ASUS default temp monitoring software or even something like coretemp should do you just fine. even if you stay with HWmonitor, I wouldnt concern myself to much with CPUTin, its most likely a misreading, as long as your core, system, and GPU temps are within safety limits, then your fine, hwmonitor most likely just isnt 100% compatible with ASUS motherboards, its been known to happen, and its not a bad thing with ASUS motherboards, different manufacturers set their sensors up different, not all temp sensors can read them properly.

If you think that people are finally getting sick of waiting three hours in line to get their tacos and grilled cheeses cooked from an automobile, think again.
The Food Network is serving food trucks hot off the grill in their new reality cooking competition series, The Great Food Truck Race. The Tyler Florence-hosted show will feature seven food trucks as they compete in challenges across the country, vying for business and cooking prowess. The trucks' culinary offerings range from the zesty Ragin' Cajun to the romantic Crepes Bonaparte.
We're personally rooting for the truck with the most adorable moniker — the Nom Nom Truck. Founded by UCLA grads Vietnamese American Jennifer Green and Chinese-Dutch American Misa Chien, and managed by Asian American David Kien, Nom Nom Truck serves up fresh and tasty Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) and tacos. Vietnamese sandwiches have long been a hidden gem of L.A. and it's time the whole country knew about it!
The trucks' journey starts in San Diego and ends in New York, with one truck eliminated each week and the winner walking away with the $50,000 grand prize.
Get your salivary glands ready as the show premieres tonight, Sunday, August 15, at 10 pm.

This week's Happenings 2.28 – 3.9
From moving documentaries to action packed comedies, it looks like we're welcoming the month of March with an artistic mixture of some great talents. And what a great way to welcome Spring, as we get ready to slip on our sandals and appreciate comedy, investigation, and social-changing inspired art.
Let The Bullets Fly
A film by Jiang Wen
When and Where: March 2 in Cinema Village, NYC and Laemmle NoHo 7 in Los Angeles, March 9 at 4-Star in San Francisco
A 2010 action comedy film written and directed by Jiang Wen, "Let The Bullets Fly" is a stunning mix of dark comedy and eye-popping violence. In China, this action-comedy starring Chow Yun-Fat has become the highest-grossing domestic film of all time. Set in 1920s Sichuan, the film tells the tale of the bandit "Pocky" Zhang Mazi, who poses as a local governor in a dusty town- but finds himself at odds with the local mobster, who is not eager to share his turf with another drifter.

Oh nice! Craft fairs are so much fun...and I can only imagine a Martha Stewart one! Anyways, have a great weekend! p.s. Have you ever played Catchphrase? That is a family favorite of ours. But just to warn you, it can get pretty loud lol. ;)
{Stop by and say hello!}- Elizabeth in Sydney3:45 AM
Hi Joanna,
Greetings from Sydney, Australia. I'm new to your blog and enjoy it so much, I now start each day checking out what you have been exploring. I loved your brother-in-law's celebration photos. Congratulations to them both for their hard work (and lack of sleep).
I've been a bit down lately as my husbando has been working very very long hours and has worked this weekend. I try and live life through the premise of 'live in the now dude' (Garth or Wayne?). As in, when we have this big house, all will be well, or when you make partner all will be great or when I complete this masters, life will be wonderful. I really think we need to live in the now, take delight in the little things. But sometimes it is hard doing a Masters, 2 small children and a husband who isn't at home as much as he'd like to be. We are all like Pavlov's dogs and run to the door when we hear his key.
Anyway, love your blog. When we lived in London, my office view was from one of the buildings across the river from your Tower Bridge pic. Except that quite a lot of the time the view was my own reflection as it got dark so early (but then so late in summer - so choice).
All the best to you and your boys.
Take care.
Liz. i LOVE the fb one! ha tooo funny. i sent it to my girlfriends cos we all know there's a fb stalker in all of us ;)
a true friend will do the facebook "stalking" of the ex for you so you don't see how bad it really is LOL my friend claire did that for me when an ex had a relationship status change... true friends indeed! :)That view from that office is amazing! You're right. I'd beg for an awesome office space like that. I'm hoping that I can have an amazing view like that in the office space Fairfax has. I'm actually looking for an office space with an amazing meeting space in Virginia. The nearer the nation's capital, the better. I'd be lucky if I get that meeting space Washington DC has. It's really great. Most meeting rooms would make you sleepy, but this one doesn't!
Whoops, sorry. Going off-topic there. Oh, Martha Stewart? My wife loves her craft! She's really inspired by her works. If I would've known this earlier, I could have told her and went with her there.

List of Original Songs
Comments29this wiki
Redirected from Original Songs
"Original Songs" redirects here. If you're looking for the similarly named episode, see Original Song.
As of Blame It on the Alcohol, Glee has featured original songs on the show that are written by the characters. The songs are actually written and produced by the series' music producer, Adam Anders, along with others. The only original song featured on the show that wasn't written by one of Glee's music producers was Still Got Tonight, a song sung by Will in the season two season finale, New York, written by the character's actor, Matthew Morrison.
Contents |
Season Two
My Headband
After being encouraged to write an original song by Finn in Comeback, Rachel writes My Headband. In Blame It on the Alcohol, Rachel performs the song for Finn. She believes the song is a hit, and tells him that she should wrote it because it was a topic she was familiar with, but Finn tells her the song is bad and not very emotional, and that Rachel needs to do 'a little living' before she could write an anthem. In Original Song, Brittany says that My Headband is her favorite song.
Inspired by: Rachel's Headband
Written by: Rachel Berry
Only Child
Only Child is the second original song written by Rachel. She first performs it for Finn in the episode Original Song, and gives him a box of tissues, telling him that it is very emotional and that he should not be ashamed to cry. After the performance, Rachel tells him the song title, which Finn had already assumed based on the lyrics. He tells her it is an improvement from My Headband, but that the song still shows no painful emotion, and that he cannot feel it when she sings it. Rachel is then frustrated with Finn and questions if he's ever struggled to write a song.
Inspired by: Rachel's struggle being an only child
Written by: Rachel Berry
Trouty Mouth
Trouty Mouth is an original song written by Santana for Sam after the Glee Club is assigned to write original music. She also writes the song in spite of being turned down by Brittany in the episode, Sexy. She performs the song in Original Song, accompanied by Tina on the piano. Sam interrupts her performance, angry with her offensive lyrics and song title. Will agrees with Sam's argument, saying that the song has not got the epic feel needed for regionals. Santana is offended by this. After Mercedes' performance of Hell to the No, Santana says she has written another verse of Trouty Mouth, and Sam holds up a 'HELL NO' sign in protest.
Inspired by: Sam's Mouth
Written by: Santana Lopez
Dedicated to: Sam Evans
Big Ass Heart
Big Ass Heart is an original song written by Puck for Lauren after the Glee Club is assigned to write original music. He performs the song after Santana's performance of Trouty Mouth in Original Song. He introduces the song as "Big Ass," to Lauren's dismay, but finishes the title with "Heart." Lauren and the rest of New Directions enjoy the song, including Sam, to Santana's dismay because he did not like her original song for him. However, Will still doesn't think the song is good enough for regionals.
Inspired by: Puck's love to Lauren
Written by: Noah Puckerman
Dedicated to: Lauren Zizes
Hell to the No
Hell to the No is an original song written by Mercedes after the Glee Club is assigned to write original music. The New Direction's girls, excluding Quinn and Rachel, provide backing vocals. The song is received positively by her fellow Glee Club members, including Mr. Schuester, but he still thinks that it isn't regionals material, saying that the song does not come from a place of pain and does not show true emotion.
Inspired by: Mercedes' life
Written by: Mercedes Jones
Get It Right
Get It Right is the third original song written by Rachel Berry. She writes the song in Original Song, prior to regionals after being scolded by Quinn for still having feelings for Finn. The song is about him, and is inspired by the things Quinn said to her. Finn tells her that he likes the song, meaning she has finally done what she has wanted to for several weeks. She performs the song at regionals, with Tina and Brittany on backing vocals. The song is received positively by the crowd, leaving Rachel pleased, just in time for the following performance, Loser Like Me.
Inspired by: Rachel's confrontation with Quinn at the auditorium
Written by: Rachel Berry
Dedicated to: Finn Hudson
Loser Like Me
Loser Like Me is an original song written by New Directions, excluding Quinn and Rachel, in the episode Original Song. The song is inspired by Sue's hate for the Glee Club, along with many other negative attitudes towards it. Will comes up with the name after Santana tells him that Sue put dirt in Brittany and her lockers, Mercedes tells him that she threw sticks at her, and finally when Tina tells him that she called the Ohio Secretary of State saying she was Tina and that she wanted to legally change her name to Tina Cohen-Loser. New Directions perform the song at regionals, after Rachel's performance of Get It Right. During the performance, Sue seems to realize that the song is inspired by her. After winning the competition, Rachel tells her fellow club members that the song was amazing and that it inspired her.
Inspired by: Sue's torturing to the Glee Club
Written by: New Directions.
Fondue For Two
Fondue For Two is an original song written presumably by Brittany to be the theme song for her web show of the same name.
Written by: Brittany S. Pierce
Nice To Meet You, Have I Slept With You?
Nice To Meet You, Have I Slept With You? is a song that April wrote for her Broadway Show Crossrhodes: The April Rhodes Story.
Written by: April Rhodes
It's 10 AM And I'm Drunk
It's 10 AM And I'm Drunk is a song which was supposed to be featured in Rumours, but got cut from the episode. It is sung by April Rhodes. It's presumably written by Will for April's Broadway Show Crossrhodes: The April Rhodes Story.
Written by: Presumably Will Schuester
As Long as You're There
As Long as You're There is an original song that was performed by Vocal Adrenaline in New York.
Written by: Sunshine Corazon
My Cup
My Cup is an original song written by Brittany and performed with Artie. During the performance, the group looks on at the pair with confused looks on their faces, and Santana is seen laughing during the performance. This leads Quinn and Puck to coming up with the idea to leave the hotel room and explore New York City.
Inspired by: A bathroom cup
Written by: Brittany Pierce
Pretending is a ballad written by Finn that is sung by both himself and Rachel. During the performance, their chemistry flares up resulting in an abrupt kiss right as the performance ends. This kiss costs them Nationals and puts them in twelfth place because it was inappropriate to the judges.
Inspired by: Finn's feelings for Rachel
Written by: Finn Hudson
Light Up The World
Light Up The World is a song performed by New Directions at Nationals.
Written by: New Directions
Season Three
Extraordinary Merry Christmas
Extraordinary Merry Christmas is a song performed by Rachel Berry and Blaine Anderson for the Christmas special because Artie (the director of the special) wanted a more cheerful happy song.
Written by: (most likely) Rachel Berry and Blaine Anderson
Christmas Eve With You
Christmas Eve With You is a song sung by Will Schuester and Emma Pillsbury. This song was featured on the second Christmas album but was NOT performed on the show. It is the first original song that hasn't appeared on the show without a reason. Other original songs that were not featured were cut because of time constraints.
Written by: (The writer of the song is unknown but possibly Will and Emma)

Daily Beast's Andrew Sullivan, who called Obama's poll numbers after the first debate "devastating," predicted the president would come "kicking back in the polls" in coming days.
Erick Erickson, the conservative RedState.com blogger and CNN contributor, thought Romney won the debate based on "clear majorities outside the margin of error" in the CNN/ORC poll who thought Romney would be better for the country on economic issues.
Read the transcript of the debate or watch it on CNN.com
"In fact, while other areas of the debate may overshadow this point, Romney deftly dispatched Obama on his economic record," Erickson said, calling it "the one issue that matters."
An awkward phrase by Romney in addressing gender pay inequality was creating the most buzz around the debate.
Romney said when he was elected governor of Massachusetts, all the applicants for cabinet positions were men, so he sought out women applicants. "I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women."
Before the debate was over "binders full of women" had a Twitter hashtag, a series of memes on Tumblr, and a Facebook page with over more than 100,000 fans. The phrase was the third-fastest rising search on Google during the debate.
Both candidates walked the floor with microphones in hand at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, raising their voices at times and repeatedly challenging each other's points during the 90-plus minute debate that featured a town hall-style format.
Moderator Candy Crowley, the CNN chief political correspondent, tried in vain at times to prevent each candidate from going over allotted time, with Obama speaking for more than three minutes longer than Romney on the night.
Obama was on the attack from the start, but waited until his final answer -- with no chance for Romney to respond -- to raise his opponent's controversial "47%" comments at a fundraiser in May.
