Spodak Dental Group: Embarrassed By Missing Teeth?
19 Apr, 2013, 06:14 ET
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., April 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're suffering the embarrassment of missing teeth or the discomfort of ill-fitting dentures, you're missing more than teeth -- you're missing out on the rewards of a healthy, beautiful smile. While conventional bridges or removable dentures have long been the standard for replacing missing teeth, dental implants may be a preferred alternative for you to consider.
Secure and Permanent
Surgically placed below the gums, dental implants are fused directly into your jawbone. They serve as a secure and permanent anchor for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or complete dentures. By fully integrating into your natural bone and gums, they become a part of your anatomy, providing the most natural form, feel, and function possible.
There are many benefits of implants: They can dramatically improve your ability to chew. They can restore the natural line of your jaw, filling out your face that may otherwise appear sunken from missing teeth. They are much more convenient than traditional bridges or dentures because they do not require nightly removal, overnight soaking, or messy adhesives.
Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. An evaluation by our dental team will help determine whether you are a good candidate. In fact, Spodak Dental Group's unique team approach to dentistry ensures that each phase of your treatment will be carried out collaboratively by our team of general dentists, oral surgeons, and implant specialists, right here in the convenience of our comprehensive facility. Then, when it's time to position replacement teeth over your dental implants, our master ceramic artist will personally craft them in our own on-site dental laboratory.
At Spodak Dental Group, we know that all of this may seem a bit daunting, but don't let fear or intimidation of the process deter you from attaining a healthy, beautiful smile. Spodak Dental offers the option of Sleep Dentistry (sleep sedation). After all, you deserve the comfort, security, and natural appearance that expertly placed dental implants and custom created replacement teeth can provide.
Our unique team approach to dentistry ensures that each phase of your dental implant treatment will be carried out collaboratively by our team of general dentists, oral surgeons, and implant specialists, right here in the convenience of our comprehensive facility.

We will be discussing colors in terms of how a painter uses them. We will start by looking at how colors are generally taught, focusing on the primary color system. We will then move on to other ideas of color, to look at color movement. While this may seem daunting at first, I believe we actually end up with a simpler more useful way to view the world of color.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this article, upon the trial of any person charged with reckless driving where the degree of culpability is slight, the court in its discretion may find the accused not guilty of reckless driving but guilty of improper driving. However, an attorney for the Commonwealth may reduce a charge of reckless driving to improper driving at any time prior to the court's decision and shall notify the court of such change. Improper driving shall be punishable as a traffic infraction punishable by a fine of not more than $ 500.
GUILT TO BE ESTABLISHED BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT. –Both reckless driving and improper driving are criminal offenses and to sustain a conviction of either the Commonwealth's evidence must establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Bacon v. Commonwealth, 220 Va. 766, 263 S.E.2d 390 (1980). (decided under prior law).
WHEN EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT. –The mere fact that an accident happened, or that the automobile followed an erratic course for 362′ after it was out of control, does not give rise to an inference of reckless driving or of improper driving. Bacon v. Commonwealth, 220 Va. 766, 263 S.E.2d 390 (1980). (decided under prior law).

Generate a random n-class classification problem.
This initially creates clusters of points normally distributed (std=1) about vertices of an
n_informative-dimensional hypercube with sides of length
2*class_sepand assigns an equal number of clusters to each class. It introduces interdependence between these features and adds various types of further noise to the data.
Without shuffling,
Xhorizontally stacks features in the following order: the primary
n_informativefeatures, followed by
n_redundantlinear combinations of the informative features, followed by
n_repeatedduplicates, drawn randomly with replacement from the informative and redundant features. The remaining features are filled with random noise. Thus, without shuffling, all useful features are contained in the columns
X[:, :n_informative + n_redundant + n_repeated].

- Parameters
- n_samplesint, default=100
The number of samples.
- n_featuresint, default=20
The total number of features. These comprise
n_informativeinformative features,
n_redundantredundant features,
n_repeatedduplicated features and
n_features-n_informative-n_redundant-n_repeateduseless features drawn at random.
- n_informativeint, default=2
The number of informative features. Each class is composed of a number of gaussian clusters each located around the vertices of a hypercube in a subspace of dimension
n_informative. For each cluster, informative features are drawn independently from N(0, 1) and then randomly linearly combined within each cluster in order to add covariance. The clusters are then placed on the vertices of the hypercube.
- n_redundantint, default=2
The number of redundant features. These features are generated as random linear combinations of the informative features.
- n_repeatedint, default=0
The number of duplicated features, drawn randomly from the informative and the redundant features.
- n_classesint, default=2
The number of classes (or labels) of the classification problem.
- n_clusters_per_classint, default=2
The number of clusters per class.
- weightsarray-like of shape (n_classes,) or (n_classes - 1,), default=None
The proportions of samples assigned to each class. If None, then classes are balanced. Note that if
len(weights) == n_classes - 1, then the last class weight is automatically inferred. More than
n_samplessamples may be returned if the sum of
weightsexceeds 1. Note that the actual class proportions will not exactly match
flip_yisn't 0.
- flip_yfloat, default=0.01
The fraction of samples whose class is assigned randomly. Larger values introduce noise in the labels and make the classification task harder. Note that the default setting flip_y > 0 might lead to less than
n_classesin y in some cases.
- class_sepfloat, default=1.0
The factor multiplying the hypercube size. Larger values spread out the clusters/classes and make the classification task easier.
- hypercubebool, default=True
If True, the clusters are put on the vertices of a hypercube. If False, the clusters are put on the vertices of a random polytope.
- shiftfloat, ndarray of shape (n_features,) or None, default=0.0
Shift features by the specified value. If None, then features are shifted by a random value drawn in [-class_sep, class_sep].
- scalefloat, ndarray of shape (n_features,) or None, default=1.0
Multiply features by the specified value. If None, then features are scaled by a random value drawn in [1, 100]. Note that scaling happens after shifting.
- shufflebool, default=True
Shuffle the samples and the features.
- random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None
Determines random number generation for dataset creation. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.
- Returns
- Xndarray of shape (n_samples, n_features)
The generated samples.
- yndarray of shape (n_samples,)
The integer labels for class membership of each sample.

The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission has backtracked from approving any service or tariff of the telecom operators without prior consent from the telecom ministry, New Age reported.
BTRC has been forwarding the operators' service and tariff approval applications to the telecom ministry for the past week following verbal instruction from the commission chairman, according to a BTRC official. Under Section 48 of the Bangladesh Telecommunication (Amendment) Act 2010, the telecom ministry is the authority for such approvals whereas the BTRC can only make recommendations or observations while forwarding the applications to the ministry.
BTRC officials said the commission had been approving the services and tariffs of different operators on its own, violating the law since 2011. They said in many cases the operators launched the commercial services on approval from the BTRC, although the ministry approvals were still pending.

Prescribing and dispensing are two tails of managing the patients for refractive errors. The reasons are simple. The need for correction arises with a lens prescription by an optometrist and the generated need is catered by a dispensing optician. One of the cornerstones of the practice is you need a unique blend of skills and intelligence in order to manage the patient for vision correction effectively. "Clinical Refraction Guide" describes the art and science of the clinical refraction procedure, in a brief and lucid manner. It describes various procedures and techniques that can be applied to elicit the refractive error and provide appropriate management. The book is for the students of Optometry, or for the students of Optometric Technicians, Ophthalmic Assistants, Ophthalmic Nursing and all other Opticianry programs. It is written from the practice point of view, rather than academic. The majority of the chapters follow the sequential steps of the whole procedure. Meticulous planning has been done to design the contents and put them into different chapters. The book has been compiled in a very simple language so that it serves as a reference guide in the clinic as well as in the classes. The salient features of the book are simple language, emphasis is more on practice procedures, short and precise explanations and criticalities of the procedures are given more importance. The author has extensive experience in this field of eye care practice. He has tried to accumulate most of his experience in this book. All principles, theories and optics are beyond the scope of this book. The methods are described as step by step procedure that establishes the eternal truth that helps in eliciting the refractive error. The book has two sections. Section 1 contains flow of clinical refraction procedure, tests and equipments needed, routine and refinement procedures and refraction techniques in various situations. Section 2 exclusively deals with the sequential procedure of Retinoscopy.

Hello Real Estate Investors in Hamilton Ontario!!
Below is an email sent to Maria and I from one of my youngest clients but she's also one of the biggest action takers. Here's how her deal went down. I was out previewing properties including a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) near James North and within 800 meters of the planned James North Gateway Go Station.
Evelyn and I were meeting later that afternoon for coffee to go over the new Rock Star membership package. I told her about the property, she was interested because she knows that harbour front area well (the benefit of being a geographical specialist) and is well aware of the rejentrification of the area. So I booked the showing for that same afternoon. At the property, Evelyn and her boyfriend Andrew posed as a young couple looking to buy, the owner was there and we left with a hand shake agreement to purchase the property. Fast forward to today, the property doesn't even close till this Friday and Evelyn at her first showing on Saturday collected first month's rent in cash and collected last month's in cash yesterday (after doing her due diligence of course) and now she's one happy Hamilton investor. Here's what she had to say (I've changed the names and addresses):
Evelyn – "Everything is done at the lawyers for the closing date tomorrow… and everything seems to be in place. You guys are amazing and I couldn't have done it without you!! Sorry it took me so long to decide that this was in fact a good decision for me! I'm sure it will be the bane of my existence at times, but I know that it will be worth it in the long run!
Although Fred and Wilma (the tenants) are paying June rent at their current place, they were happy to pay for the full month of June so I am giving them their keys tomorrow! I have collected $2600 cash for first and last, and have a signed lease. They pay cash for everything but Fred said he ordered a cheque book at the bank today to give me post dated cheques.
Wilma works at Cheers, a restaurant/bar at Burlington and James St N, so we met there to sign the lease. We ended up having dinner before her shift and when I tried to pay for my meal, they had already paid it! Wilma was excitedly introducing me to her regulars as her new landlord. Their current landlord came to the restaurant when I was there, so I apologized for stealing his great tenants. He will consider forgiving me!
The best part is that they (Fred and Wilma) think that I'M doing THEM a favour by renting my lovely house to them!"
This… from one of my youngest clients… I'm so very proud of Evelyn.
So when you see Evelyn in the future please congratulate her on taking action and steps towards living her life on her terms.
Hope You Are Inspired! Till next time – happy investing everyone!!

The ocean. Vast, magnificent, magical, breathtaking… Now before we dive right in there are a couple of things we need to say. The ocean is in deep (pardon the pun) trouble. And it needs our help.
Here is why we need to act:
Saving the ocean is a big task, and it starts with you and your family. In this article, we share seven daily habits that you can easily implement in your home that will help protect our oceans.
Drop the kiddies off, it's time for you to get learning too. Don't worry they'll be no detentions or pesky teachers just a bit of homework.
Luckily, thanks to Netflix and the world wide web, some incredible documentaries are only a click away. Some of our fave flicks are:
Little Urchin's range of reef-safe skin products includes:
Interest in learning more about reef-safe sunscreen? Read this article (click here).
Plastic straws. Plastic water bottles. Plastic bags. All these things wind up in our oceans destroying habitats for generations to come. Unfortunately, responsibly recycling or disposing of your plastics correctly is not enough. So, how can you avoid contributing to this issue? Ditch plastic and switch to reusable options.
According to the World Wildlife Foundation, the greatest threat to our oceans is overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices. Sadly, we've seen a rapid decrease in fish populations across the world. By simply checking that your fish has been sourced responsibly, you can help play a massive role in changing the fishing industry. Just like free-range eggs have risen in popularity, we are sure that sustainable fish will too.
Head to Australia's Sustainable Seafood Guide website or download their app straight onto your phone.
We couldn't mention responsible consumerism and not mention microbeads. Microbeads are small, solid, manufactured plastic particles that are put into your bathroom products like toothpaste, body wash, and exfoliators. They are used for many reasons including to prolong the shelf life of products, as a cheap bulking agent and for its exfoliating and abrasive properties.
Microbeads are so micro that they can't be caught by our wastewater treatment facilities. This means they end up in our waterways and eventually oceans and being plastic, don't degrade or dissolve in water. These microbeads are destined to live in our oceans and inside marine life for thousands of years to come.
A great organisation, Beat The Microbead, has created an app! Simply scan a product and the app will tell you whether it is microbead-free or not! Search 'Beat The Microbead' in your app store.
Imagine the positive impact we could make if each family practiced Earth Hour once a week! Give it a go, light a candle and play a board game with the kids! You might even notice a lower power bill and more quality time spent with the family.
Have you heard of Take 3 for the sea, its the Australian charity that's taking the world by storm! Take 3 pieces of rubbish with you when you leave the beach, waterway or anywhere and you have made a difference. It's also a great activity to get the kids involved in.
There you have it! Seven daily habits to help you and your family protect our oceans. If you enjoyed this article and want to do your part to protect the oceans, please share this article. The more people we can get involved, the better for our planet.
* Little Urchin uses the term 'natural' because the ingredients in our products are ones found in nature that are unharmful to the body and used in their natural form or are refined, purified or transformed in the laboratory from sources in nature. The refinement, purification and transformation processes of certain ingredients are chemical processes required to make the underlying, natural ingredients suitable for use in a sunscreen or moisturiser product. These processes do not involve the use of synthetic chemicals.

IceGrid provides a resource allocation facility that coordinates access to the objects and servers of an IceGrid application. To allocate a resource for exclusive use, a client must first establish a session by authenticating itself with the IceGrid registry or a Glacier2 router, after which the client may reserve objects and servers that the application indicates are allocatable. The client should release the resource when it is no longer needed, otherwise IceGrid reclaims it when the client's session terminates or expires due to inactivity.
An allocatable server offers at least one allocatable object. The server is considered to be allocated when its first allocatable object is claimed, and is not released until all of its allocated objects are released. While the server is allocated by a client, no other clients can allocate its objects.
On this page:
Creating an IceGrid Session
A client must create an IceGrid session before it can allocate objects. If you have configured a Glacier2 router to use IceGrid's session managers, the client's router session satisfies this requirement.
In the absence of Glacier2, an IceGrid client invokes
createSession or
createSessionFromSecureConnection on IceGrid's
Registry interface to create a session:
module IceGrid { exception PermissionDeniedException { string reason; }; interface Registry { Session* createSession(string userId, string password) throws PermissionDeniedException; Session* createSessionFromSecureConnection() throws PermissionDeniedException; idempotent int getSessionTimeout(); }; };
createSession operation expects a username and password and returns a session proxy if the client is allowed to create a session. By default, IceGrid does not allow the creation of sessions. You must define the registry property
IceGrid.Registry.PermissionsVerifier with the proxy of a permissions verifier object to enable session creation with
createSessionFromSecureConnection operation does not require a username and password because it uses the credentials supplied by an SSL connection to authenticate the client. As with
createSession, you must enable session creation by configuring the proxy of a permissions verifier object so that clients can use
createSessionFromSecureConnection to create a session. In this case, the property is
To create a session, the client obtains the registry proxy by converting the well-known proxy string
"IceGrid/Registry" to a proxy object with the communicator, downcasts the proxy to the
IceGrid::Registry interface, and invokes on one of the operations. The sample code below demonstrates how to do it in C++; the code will look very similar in other language mappings.
Ice::ObjectPrx base = communicator->stringToProxy("IceGrid/Registry"); IceGrid::RegistryPrx registry = IceGrid::RegistryPrx::checkedCast(base); string username = ...; string password = ...; IceGrid::SessionPrx session; try { session = registry->createSession(username, password); } catch (const IceGrid::PermissionDeniedException & ex) { cout << "permission denied:\n" << ex.reason << endl; }
The identity of the registry object may change based on its configuration settings.
After creating the session, the client must keep it alive by periodically invoking its
keepAlive operation. The session expires if the client does not invoke
keepAlive within the configured timeout period, which can be obtained by calling the
getSessionTimeout operation on the
Registry interface.
If a session times out, or if the client explicitly terminates the session by invoking its
destroy operation, IceGrid automatically releases all objects allocated using that session.
Controlling Access to IceGrid Sessions
As described above, you must configure the IceGrid registry with the proxy of at least one permissions verifier object to enable session creation:
This property supplies the proxy of an object that implements the interface
Glacier2::PermissionsVerifier. Defining this property allows clients to create sessions using
This property supplies the proxy of an object that implements the interface
Glacier2::SSLPermissionsVerifier. Defining this property allows clients to create sessions using
IceGrid supplies built-in permissions verifier objects:
A null permissions verifier for TCP/IP. This object accepts any username and password and should only be used in a secure environment where no access control is necessary. You select this verifier object by defining the following configuration property:
Note that you have to substitute the correct instance name for the object identity category.
A null permissions verifier for SSL, analogous to the one for TCP/IP. You select this verifier object by defining the following configuration property:
- A file-based permissions verifier. This object uses an access control list in a file that contains username-password pairs. The format of the password file is the same as the format of Glacier2 password files. You enable this verifier implementation by defining the configuration property
IceGrid.Registry.CryptPasswordswith the pathname of the password file. Note that this property is ignored if you specify the proxy of a permissions verifier object using
You can also implement your own permissions verifier object.
Allocating Objects with an IceGrid Session
A client allocates objects using the session proxy returned from
createSession or
createSessionFromSecureConnection. The proxy supports the
Session interface shown below:
module IceGrid { exception ObjectNotRegisteredException { Ice::Identity id; }; exception AllocationException { string reason; }; exception AllocationTimeoutException extends AllocationException { }; interface Session extends Glacier2::Session { idempotent void keepAlive(); Object* allocateObjectById(Ice::Identity id) throws ObjectNotRegisteredException, AllocationException; Object* allocateObjectByType(string type) throws AllocationException; void releaseObject(Ice::Identity id) throws ObjectNotRegisteredException, AllocationException; idempotent void setAllocationTimeout(int timeout); }; };
The client is responsible for keeping the session alive by periodically invoking
keepAlive, as discussed earlier.
allocateObjectById operation allocates and returns the proxy for the allocatable object with the given identity. If no allocatable object with the given identity is registered, the client receives
ObjectNotRegisteredException. If the object cannot be allocated, the client receives
AllocationException. An allocation attempt can fail for the following reasons:
- the object is already allocated by the session
- the object is allocated by another session and did not become available during the configured allocation timeout period
- the session was destroyed.
allocateObjectByType operation allocates and returns a proxy for an allocatable object registered with the given type. If more than one allocatable object is registered with the given type, the registry selects one at random. The client receives
AllocationException if no objects with the given type could be allocated. An allocation attempt can fail for the following reasons:
- no objects are registered with the given type
- all objects with the given type are already allocated (either by this session or other sessions) and none became available during the configured allocation timeout period
- the session was destroyed.
releaseObject operation releases an object allocated by the session. The client receives
ObjectNotRegisteredException if no allocatable object is registered with the given identity and
AllocationException if the object is not allocated by the session. Upon session destruction, IceGrid automatically releases all allocated objects.
setAllocationTimeout operation configures the timeout used by the allocation operations. If no allocatable objects are available when the client invokes
allocateObjectById or
allocateObjectByType, IceGrid waits for the specified timeout period for an allocatable object to become available. If the timeout expires, the client receives
Allocating Servers with an IceGrid Session
A client does not need to explicitly allocate a server. If a server is allocatable, IceGrid implicitly allocates it to the first client that claims one of the server's allocatable objects. Likewise, IceGrid releases the server when all of its allocatable objects are released.
Server allocation is useful in two situations:
- Only allocatable servers can use the
sessionactivation mode, in which the server is activated on demand when allocated by a client and deactivated upon release.
- An allocatable server can be secured with IceSSL or Glacier2 so that its objects can only be invoked by the client that allocated it.
Security Considerations for Allocated Resources
IceGrid's resource allocation facility allows clients to coordinate access to objects and servers but does not place any restrictions on client invocations to allocated objects; any client that has a proxy for an allocated object could conceivably invoke an operation on it. IceGrid assumes that clients are cooperating with each other and respecting allocation semantics.
To prevent unauthorized clients from invoking operations on an allocated object or server, you can use IceSSL or Glacier2:
- Using IceSSL, you can secure access to a server or a particular object adapter with the properties
IceSSL.TrustOnly.Server.AdapterName. For example, if you configure a server with the session activation mode, you can set one of the
IceSSL.TrustOnlyproperties to the
}variable, which is substituted with the session ID when the server is activated for the session. If the IceGrid session was created from a secure connection, the session ID will be the distinguished name associated with the secure connection, which effectively restricts access to the server or one of its adapters to the client that established the session with IceGrid.
- With Glacier2, you can secure access to an allocated object or the object adapters of an allocated server with the Glacier2 filtering mechanism. By default, IceGrid sessions created with a Glacier2 router are automatically given access to allocated objects, allocatable objects, certain well-known objects, and the object adapters of allocated servers.
Deploying Allocatable Resources
Allocatable objects are registered using a descriptor that is similar to well-known object descriptors. Allocatable objects cannot be replicated and therefore can only be specified within an object adapter descriptor.
Servers can be specified as allocatable by setting the server descriptor's
allocatable attribute.
As an example, the following application defines an allocatable server and an allocatable object:
<icegrid> <application name="Ripper"> <node name="Node1"> <server id="EncoderServer" exe="/opt/ripper/bin/server" activation="on-demand" allocatable="true"> <adapter name="EncoderAdapter" id="EncoderAdapter" endpoints="tcp"> <allocatable identity="EncoderFactory" type="::Ripper::MP3EncoderFactory"/> </adapter> </server> </node> </application> </icegrid>
Using Resource Allocation in the Ripper Application
We can use the allocation facility in our MP3 encoder factory to coordinate access to the MP3 encoder factories. First we need to modify the descriptors to define an allocatable object:
<icegrid> <application name="Ripper"> <server-template id="EncoderServerTemplate"> <parameter name="index"/> <server id="EncoderServer${index}" exe="/opt/ripper/bin/server" activation="on-demand"> <adapter name="EncoderAdapter" endpoints="tcp"> <allocatable identity="EncoderFactory${index}" type="::Ripper::MP3EncoderFactory"/> </adapter> </server> </server-template> <node name="Node1"> <server-instance template="EncoderServerTemplate" index="1"/> </node> <node name="Node2"> <server-instance template="EncoderServerTemplate" index="2"/> </node> </application> </icegrid>
Next, the client needs to create a session and allocate a factory:
Ice::ObjectPrx obj = session->allocateObjectByType(Ripper::MP3EncoderFactory::ice_staticId()); try { Ripper::MP3EncoderPrx encoder = factory->createEncoder(); // Use the encoder to encode a file ... } catch (const Ice::LocalException & ex) { // There was a problem with the encoding, we catch the // exception to make sure we release the factory. } session->releaseObject(obj->ice_getIdentity());
It is important to release an allocated object when it is no longer needed so that other clients may use it. If you forget to release an object, it remains allocated until the session is destroyed.

Collingwood shopping is a real insiders Melbourne tip. It has a fascinating mix of shops, galleries, cafes and bars - from eclectic to stylish, from vintage to ethnic and old style and factory outlets.
history is rich, complex and colourful - a mixture of post gold rush
riches, migrants, the unemployed, artists and designers.
Collingwood, just northeast of the CBD, was one of the very early Melbourne suburbs. Its back streets are lined with small inner-city cottages as well as large warehouses, manufactories and mills.
Its main street, Smith Street, Collingwood, displays large stately nineteenth century buildings from the post gold-rush era when Collingwood shopping was a major Melbourne shopping district. At the turn of the century, Smith Street rivaled Chapel Street, Prahran as classy home of shopping emporiums and department stores.
In the 20th century, Collingwood took other turns. After the Second World War it became working class and ethnic and was taken over by post-war migrants, such as Greeks and Italians, as well as artists and craft people.
It provided cheap accommodation, and during the 1970s, as people left the inner city, Collingwood was for a while a place where many really did not want to live. It was rough and unkempt.
Not much of this image is left today. Collingwood has become very hip and trendy. House prices have shot through the roof, which means that you now have your high and low income earners living there side by side - students, artists and CEOs - push bikes and BMWs.
Smith Street is still a blend of the old and new. It has a mix of very trendy designer shops and funky galleries, factory outlets, old bars and pubs, take-aways, expensive restaurants - in short, a very eclectic mix
It is a great place for finding uniquely Melbourne clothes and accessories, hats, jewellery, outdoor or vintage clothes.
There is a large range of bookstores as well as shops set up by Australian fashion designers together with a collection of quirky cafes, bars, restaurants, cheap Lebanese eateries and discount shops.
It is a great area to explore, have lunch and find some very uniquely Melbourne things. The corner of Gertrude Street is a very funky Collingwood section. Gertrude Street technically belongs to Fitzroy.
Smith Street eclectic shopping happens all the way from Victoria Parade to Johnston Street. On the other side Johnston Street towards Alexandra Parade, you find a lot of brand factory outlets. brand factory outlets. It is a short trip on the #86 tram from Bourke Street in the city.

Op-Ed Originally published in the New Tropic Email Newsletter.
On Friday, August 28th Friday we all got the heartbreaking news that actor and star of Marvel's Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman passed away from stage 4 colon cancer. I learned of the sad news around 10pm that night as soon as I logged on to Instagram. My friend and 103.5 the Beat radio host Papa Keith had posted a Rest in Peace tribute and my heart dropped. He and many others in South Florida and beyond began to post their heartfelt tributes to our King. I immediately felt pressure in my chest and was overcome with sadness. I had had a cheerful day up to that point, but all of that was wiped away when I learned the news of Boseman's passing. It was so sudden and none of us knew he had been privately battling colon cancer since 2016 — something that made the news even more heartbreaking.
I was hit by the news so hard because I am Chadwick Boseman fan. I've seen most of his movies and loved how he brought to life on the big screen icons Jackie Robison, Thurgood Marshall and James Brown. However, like many, I was in awe of his portrayal of T'Challa in Marvel's Black Panther. I was so captivated with the movie that I saw it 4 times in theaters. I also wore my African garb to the movies in honor of the film's connection to Africa.
As a kid I loved watching superhero cartoons like Batman and X-Men. However someone recently reminded me of a show called Static Shock which featured a Black teenage superhero. I remember being drawn to Static Shock and Storm from X-men because they looked like me. I didn't know it then as a kid, but I was happy to have representation. I was happy that I could relate to people on my TV screen who were indeed super. When Black Panther was released a part of me was overjoyed for what Chadwick's performance would mean for Black kids watching him. However, I felt a little envious of them because they'll forever have that live action example that I wish I had. They wouldn't know the world I grew up in where movies like this never got made– although I will say Blade and Spawn were great attempts. But Black Panther was different from those two movies. For me the regalness and class about them made them feel different and special for me.
Chadwick gave all Black people a reason to feel super. He showed the world that we exist in various ways and displayed that we have the same wants and desires as everyone. He showed that we were extraordinary yet human. His portrayal also gave us a glimpse into what life might look like if we were never brought to this country in chains as forced chattel labor. If we were just left alone.It's something that I imagined for years and finally I was able to see it, albeit fictitious, something in me gleaned with joy to see Chadwick portray our fair and fearless leader. I needed to know that I could have existed in a world that didn't immediately see me as less than and Chadwick's work showed the world that we are worthy of that.
To learn that he did so many great movies while secretly fighting cancer makes his life even more legendary and remarkable. He was literally a superhero walking among us, never making excuses for his illness and showing up to do great work. Thank you Chadwick Boseman for allowing me to see myself and know that I can be a superhero in my own way. We are all made better from your work in the world. Rest in Power.

Istanbul may be famed for being the city where "east meets west" and its staggering religious and imperial structures that conjure up images of the Orient, but scratch below these tired clichés, and there's so much more. Istanbul is a city where you meet life at every turn and discover exquisite beauty in the most unexpected places. It's a city full of possibilities with a strong population of 14 million that keeps it from residing in its past. If you're visiting Istanbul, don't just see the sights; get the full picture by including these must-sees.
1. The Walls
Istanbul's Land Walls were erected in the fifth century, under the reign of the Byzantine Emperor, Theodosius II. Built to protect the old city peninsula from invaders, they were pretty effective until the great siege of 1453 when the Ottomans took control of the city. The walls run about four miles between the Marmara Sea and the Golden Horn estuary. Spending a day (or two, depending on what you visit along the way) walking along the remains of the walls will take you through some of Istanbul's more diverse neighborhoods, and far from the madding crowds.
2. Art Galleries
Istanbul is becoming a major player in the contemporary art scene, and now hosts two annual international contemporary art fairs, as well as the Istanbul Biennial. However, if you're not in town during these times, there's still plenty to see. The Istanbul Modern offers insight into modern Turkish art. Alternatively, try gallery hopping along the bustling Istiklal Caddesi (avenue), visiting ARTER, Salt Beyo?lu, and the other galleries that fill up the floors of the art nouveau M?s?r Apartment building.
3. Asmal?mescit
The Asmal?mescit neighborhood in the Beyo?lu district is even busier by night than it is by day. Istanbulites love to party, and this is one of their favorite spots to let loose. Begin by tucking into a few meze, washed down with rak? (the local aniseed spirit) in one of the many meyhanes (Turkish taverns), accompanied by the boisterous music of roving street musicians. Then, head up to Balkon bar for rooftop cocktails with a glittering view of the city. Finish in Babylon (pictured above); arguably Istanbul's best live music venue.
4. The Bosphorus Strait
Istanbul is both defined and divided by the immensely important waterway, the Bosphorus Strait. It cuts through the city from the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea keeping Europe and Asia at an arm's length. To fully appreciate it, hop on one of the regular passenger ferries that cross the water, offering an unparalleled view of both sides of the city. If you're lucky, you may even spot the Bosphorus' many dolphins frolicking alongside.
5. The Ocakba?? Experience
It would be rude to come to Istanbul without trying a proper kebab. Here, though, it is not simply a drunken munch on the way home; they really make a meal of it. Head to Zübeyir or one of the other grill joints on Kurabiye Sokak for an authentic kebab experience. An "ocakba??" refers to a particular type of restaurant where diners have the opportunity to take a seat around the open grill and watch the usta (master) as he works. The perfectly seasoned, unbelievably tender meat is then served directly onto awaiting plates just as soon as it sizzles.
6. Hamam
Getting vigorously scrubbed and rubbed by a complete stranger who doesn't speak your language may not be everyone's idea of a holiday activity, but it is an unforgettably authentic Istanbul experience. The hamam (Turkish bath) tradition dates back hundreds of years and still continues today. Try the Kiliç Ali Pa?a Hamam for a luxury experience in a stunningly spacious 16th century building or visit the 15th century A?a Hamam for a more budget-friendly option.
7. Mandabatmaz
The micro-roasting-hipster-coffeehouse trend has taken off in Istanbul, but if you want to try something a bit different, head to Mandabatmaz (just off Istiklal Caddesi) for a memorable Turkish coffee. This tiny establishment roasts their beans in-house and the coffee is prepared to your liking. There are just a few benches inside and a scattering of tiny stools in the alley outside to perch on, which allows you to fully focus on the velvet textured, chocolate-like rich coffee that's served.
8. Sultanahmet
There's an astounding wealth of historic sights to see in Istanbul, and while it's nice to get off the beaten path, it would be a shame to leave Istanbul without having visited the three major attractions: the Hagia Sophia (above), the Blue Mosque and Topkap? Palace. All are conveniently located within the main tourist-filled neighborhood of Sultanahmet, where you can also find the Archaeological Museum, Mosaic Museum and the atmospheric Basilica Cistern, known locally as the "underground palace."
9. Princes' Islands
If you are struck by a need to get away from the hustle and bustle that is central Istanbul, a day trip to the Princes' Islands is just what you need—as long as it isn't the weekend, when it seems half the city has the same idea. Take a ferry from Kabata? or Kad?köy and settle into an hourlong trip to the pretty, car-free archipelago. There are several islands to choose from, but all have beaches to recline on, restaurants to eat at and bicycles to rent.
10. Bazaars and Pazars
Having operated as such an important trading post throughout history, Istanbul isn't ready to give up its position as shopping capital of the world. There are some real bargains to be had at the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar, if you're prepared to haggle. The Spice Bazaar is an aromatic one-stop-shop for foodie travelers in search of exotic ingredients to take home. But the real deal is at the weekly open-air pazars (farmers' markets), where the air is alive with the melodic calls of a hundred hawkers—all with the freshest produce they're just desperate for you to try.

Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims during which they observe intermittent fasting for approximately 30 days. The practice of Ramadan fasting is obligatory for all healthy, adult Muslims and requires each to abstain from food and fluid from sunrise to sunset. According to Muslims, Ramadan fasting is regarded with high importance as it is considered a spiritual act that increases God-consciousness and brings about personal improvement through self-restraint. During Ramadan, Muslims believe they are spiritually more enlightened and rise up towards nobler acts that bring one closer to God. While the choice to fast is that of every individual, for football players and other athletes, the effects of Ramadan fasting on sports performance needs to be considered.
Ramadan is dictated by the Islamic calendar, which follows a lunar cycle and is shorter than the Gregorian calendar by 10 to 11 days. As a result, the month of Ramadan shifts forward each year, through the seasons, and completes a cycle every 33 years. Over the next few years, Ramadan will be observed in July and August (2013) and will progress to June by 2016. This period presents an additional challenge for football players and all Muslim athletes living in the northern hemisphere, as longer summer days mean a longer fasting period.
It is not uncommon for major sports competitions to be held during Ramadan. Last year, the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games was held during the month of Ramadan. Over the next few years, major international competitions will also overlap with Ramadan (Figure 1). The FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil will be held from 12 June to 13 July and will coincide with the month of Ramadan, which will start 28 June 2014. In 2016, the UEFA European Football Championship, also known as the 'Euro cup' in France, will coincide with 3 weeks of Ramadan.
Importantly, it is estimated that 29% of the world's population are Muslim. According to a FIFA report, Muslim football fans are estimated to number 270 million, representing 208 different countries. Although distributed widely, the concentration of Muslims is high in countries where football is a popular sport, such as in the Middle East and Africa. Given the popularity of football among Muslims across the globe, Ramadan and football are closely linked. The present article is intended to provide a summary of the effects of the Ramadan fast on sports performance, and will highlight key strategies to inform football players, coaches, and organisers on the best practice to cope with the lifestyle changes that occur during Ramadan.
Athletes are required to maintain a healthy diet in order to optimise performance. Although it is strongly recommended that athletes consume three large meals per day, this is often not the case during Ramadan given the shorter time available to eat. Most Muslims automatically change their meal frequency to two meals: one before sunrise (Suhoor) and the other just after sunset (Iftar). Thus, the major change in lifestyle during Ramadan begins with the shift of food (and fluid) intake from daylight to night hours. As this pattern continues throughout the next 30 days, there is an increased risk of nutritional and energy deficiency in active athletes.
During Ramadan the challenge for Muslim athletes to eat healthy meals becomes more difficult as each day is celebrated with a large feast at sunset (Iftar). In modern Muslim culture, Iftar comprises of foods high in fat, sugar and salt, which are not necessarily healthy for 'normal' individuals, much less for athletes. Studies analysing the nutritional content of Iftar have discovered that the calorific value is nearly equivalent to two meals. Thus, the total daily caloric intake during Ramadan can be maintained, however nutritional deficiencies have been documented, given that food choices are not varied.
To encourage healthy eating among athletes during Ramadan, coaches and sports organisers should advocate for athletes to consume varied foods rich in macronutrient profile (e.g. carbohydrate, protein and fat) and high in nutrients which are essential for optimal performance and recovery. As much as possible, meals should be moderate in size and spaced out at regular intervals to maximise absorption of nutrients. A smaller pre- and post-training meal can also help to increase caloric intake, maintain performance and aid in recovery. Finally, should the opportunity be presented, moving the training camp away from home where a strict diet plan can be offered may improve dietary intake.
Athletes who fast during Ramadan also cannot drink water during daylight hours. Although dehydration is not widely reported, smaller levels of hypo-hydration could be carried over to the next day and ultimately leave an athlete at risk for dehydration, which could affect performance.
During Ramadan, athletes will have limited opportunity to re-hydrate themselves, especially in the summer months when nights are shorter. In addition, social commitments are usually planned during the night when most people focus more on eating rather than drinking fluids. A common occurrence is for athletes to drink large quantities of water which is an ineffective way to improve hydration. Consuming large volumes of water at once will induce urine loss and if done before bedtime will cause interrupted sleep.
For improved hydration during Ramadan, athletes are recommended to drink water frequently in shorter intervals rather than in one large amount. In addition, solid foods including those containing a marginal amount of salt can help to improve water retention.
During Ramadan, training and competition schedules need to be balanced with consideration for available energy stores and the ability to re-fuel and re-hydrate. Importantly, athletes who participate in training in the morning will not be able to refuel or re-hydrate, whereas those training in the late afternoon or early evening before sunset may not be adequately fuelled or hydrated given that the daytime fast could be up to 14 hours in the summer. Thus, any training between sunrise and sunset would be ineffective and is not recommended during Ramadan.
There is no consensus on the best time to train Muslim football players who fast during Ramadan. In countries where the majority of the team are Muslims, it is usually decided to schedule training at least 3 to 4 hours after the break of fast. Training at this time will avoid diet and hydration restrictions before, during and after exercise. The Qatar Stars League's usual schedule of matches and training illustrates this perspective (Figure 2). During non-Ramadan months, all training sessions take place in the evening and matches start around 6.30 pm or 8.30 pm. These timings are delayed during Ramadan and when there are two matches to be played in a day, the second match could be as late as 11.30 pm.
Importantly, Qatar is predominately a Muslim country, and therefore this schedule is designed to fit into the lifestyle of the majority who are fasting. However, for the 10 to 15% of non-Muslims who are also participating in football training and competition, their meal timings and sleep habits may be different, which could negatively influence their performance should they not cope well with such changes in training and competition schedules. Of course, in non-Muslim predominate countries the opposite may also be true. Thus, in all cases both coaches and athletes must communicate to find what is most effective for each individual, for the team and for the competitions.
Sleep loss is a major factor leading to daytime fatigue and poor concentration, which is believed to limit performance and recovery in athletes. New research demonstrates that Muslim football players have major disturbances to sleep during Ramadan. In Qatar football players, there is a substantial delay in the sleep period, increased sleep fragmentation and more reports of daytime fatigue. Therefore, the impact that sleep has on both recovery and performance, especially during Ramadan when major changes in lifestyle occur, needs to be considered.
Firstly, coaches and athletes must be made aware of the importance of sleep. Further it is recommended that training and competition schedules are balanced with sleep-wake pattern. In all cases, athletes need to be encouraged to schedule their lifestyle to maintain a minimum of 7 hours sleep and ideally between 8 to 9 hours. Interventions such as sleep education, daytime naps and specialist sleep improvement may be warranted to limit fatigue and improve recovery.
During Ramadan, the crucial question to consider is whether or not training intensity can be maintained. It is well known that sufficient training intensity is needed to promote adaptation and improve athletic performance.
The available literature suggests that when provided with adequate diet, hydration and sleep, football players can maintain their performance as long as the training load is also maintained in relation to intensity and volume. Notably, one study has reported an increase in injury rates among non-Muslims (in a Muslim country) where training and matches were held during evening and late night hours. Thus, it appears that the ability for individual athletes to cope with the changes during Ramadan is a key factor mediating performance.
The fact that all athletes respond differently to training is not new. However, during Ramadan there are additional lifestyle changes to consider. It is especially important during this time that coaches routinely collect feedback from athletes on factors that may affect both their mental and physical performance. This includes diet, hydration, sleep, training load, recovery, mood and motivation. By doing so, any significant deviation from the pre-Ramadan levels should then be considered cause for appropriate intervention according to team protocols.
The decision whether or not to fast during Ramadan is not new for professional Muslim athletes. In Qatar and many of the Middle East and Arab countries, Ramadan fasting is practiced from the age of 10 to 12 years. Even after a few years of experience, each athlete will have developed their own set of beliefs, knowledge and perceptions about the impact that Ramadan fasting has on both mental and physical performance. While these perceptions may not be scientifically proven they are valid and should therefore be considered.
The decision on whether or not to fast may receive criticism and disapproval from family, friends and members of the community or coaches who give more weight to religion or sport. It has been reported that some professional league football players observe Ramadan fasting during training as well as during games. Others observe Ramadan fasting on training days but not on match days. In essence, the right to practice ones faith is recognised as a universal human right. However, the decision to observe the Ramadan fast among football and other athletes is not without concern for others (Figure 3). An Iranian national team player was excluded from the national team squad because he decided to break his fast. Three Muslim players from a German football club received warnings for failing to inform the coach about their decision to fast.
As previously described, in Muslim majority regions athletes will often chose to fast every day because of the social support and culture. In addition, they will receive full support and convenient training and competition plans from organisers. Of course, some coaches, for example those living in a non-Muslim predominate country are less concerned about Ramadan, since they may have only a couple of Muslim players in the team, while others coach an entire team that practices Ramadan fasting. Therefore, any decision that goes against the team's will can increase mental pressure and decrease team morale. These examples not only highlight the various opinions among athletes and coaches, but also highlight the influence that the surrounding environment may have on whether or not an athlete decides to fast.
In conclusion, Ramadan fasting results in a shift of food and fluid intake from daylight to night time, which presents major lifestyle changes that may negatively affect sports performance if not monitored and controlled. The occurrence of Ramadan with major football competitions is increasing and becomes important to consider given that football is a sport that requires all 11 players on the field to perform at their best physical and mental effort. While the decision on whether or not to fast is that of each individual athlete, we believe that coaches and organisers can play an important role in providing accurate and updated knowledge about the impact of Ramadan fasting on health and physical performance, and ultimately have mutual agreement with athletes on the best strategy for training and competition during Ramadan.

This entry is dedicated to Brenden Foster and to all -- in ways seen or unseen -- who seek to live their lives with grace, compassion, and generosity. Brenden is the 11-year-old boy from Seattle diagnosed with leukemia three years ago who recently stirred a movement of compassion and genersosity. On a recent trip from his doctor, he passed the homeless community called Nickelsville, and his last wish was to help feed the homeless. It's an amazing and beautiful story. On Friday, November 21, Brenden passed away.
Like many others, I'm moved, compelled, and deeply encouraged by the short but significant life of Brenden. His life is an encouragement, simply as a reminder that one person really can make a difference. And even more so, he isn't alone. We are not alone. There are many people seeking to be agents of hope, compassion, and generosity.
The stuff below didn't make the news and we don't do it for the purposes of making news, but I share these recent things not to draw attention to our small church community in Seattle but to remind folks that despite what seems to be a regular barrage of "bad news," there are GOOD things going on here, there, and everywhere. And while we certainly need to be reminded of the depravity of the human condition and fallen world, we need to also be reminded of the beauty that is all around us, and Brenden's short life is a reminder of one such beauty. The dialogue here on Sojo can be so intense. We scrutinize, analyze, and critcize, but I'd love to hear from others the GOOD that is being done through the Sojo Community -- your lives, family, and faith communities. Our faith in Jesus transforms us in such ways that we become agents of Hope, Grace, Mercy, and Love. So, what are some of your stories? Here a few of the stories from our community.
- A couple Fridays ago, we partnered with the good folks at Nickelsville for a benefit show at Q Cafe. I was so encouraged to see a packed house and nearly $3000 raised. Q Cafe also donates 10 percent of our profits to a new profit/cause each month.
- This past Saturday night, Quest Church welcomed 136 men, women, and children that are homeless for our annual Thanksgiving meal. We had so many people this year that we planned two separate meals. I was very encouraged to hear from DeAnza, our pastor of Compassion & Justice, that we had many volunteers come out not only to serve but simply to sit and eat with our guests.
- Over our Giving Sundays at Quest on November 9 and 16, we raised over $47,000. Half of this will go toward local food banks and recent immigrants to the Seattle area. The other half will go toward people within our church who are also facing crisis during this economic downturn.
Brenden: You are not alone. Thank you for the beautiful reminder of compassion and generosity. We need to be regularly reminded and inspired, and you certainly did that for so many people around the world. I never got to meet you but have heard from friends what a delightful young man you are. Rest in peace and we all look forward to a time when there will be no more disease or hunger. You will not be forgotten, and like you, I have many questions for God but, 'til then, will do my best to Love God and Love People:
His mother recalled that one day Foster said, "When I get to heaven, I'm going to ask God why it had to be so soon, because I had so much more I wanted to do."
And for those who are not familiar with Brenden's story, here's an article from KOMO News:
Three years ago, doctors diagnosed Brenden with leukemia. The boy who once rushed through homework so he could play outside found himself confined to a bed. But there was no confining his spirit."I had a great time. And until my time comes, I'm going to keep having a great time," he said.
Brenden's selfless dying wish was to help the homeless.
"They're probably starving, so give 'em a chance," he said, "food and water."
But Brenden was too ill to feed them on his own. So volunteers from Emerald City Lights Bike Ride passed out some 200 sandwiches to the homeless in Seattle.
Then Brenden's last wish took on a life of its own.
Eugene Cho, a second-generation Korean-American, is the founder and lead pastor of Quest Church in Seattle and the executive director of Q Cafe, an innovative nonprofit neighborhood café and music venue. He and his wife are also launching a grassroots humanitarian organization to fight global poverty. You can stalk him at his blog, eugenecho.wordpress.com.

Southern Province
Jason M. Jones, Esq.
12th Southern Province Polemarch
The Southern Province of Kappa Alpha Psi was created by the last Grand Chapter at which the late illustrious J. Ernest Wilkins, Sr. presided. As a result of extensive study, the Grand Board of Directors, meeting in Kansas City, MO in 1950, recommended that the Southern Province, then the most extensive province in Kappadom, comprising, as it did, the states of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, be partitioned.
At the same session of the Grand Chapter in Kansas City, a proposal to partition the Southwestern Province was defeated. After much debate and compromise was made whereby the Southwestern Province remained intact, comprising the states of Texas, Arkansas, Louisana, and Mississippi.
The new elected Grand Polemarch, Frank M. Summers, proceeded immediately to effect the reorganization of the states, following the directive of the Grand Chapter. Upon the recommendation of Province Polemarch W. Dickerson Donnelly, the Grand Polemarch asked the Keeper of Records and Exchequer of the Southeastern Province, Toussaint L. Hale, to assume the office of Provincial Polemarch of the newly created Southern Province. Hale of the Birmingham Alumni Chapter accepted the appointment and proceeded to formulate a joint meeting of the two provinces to be held in the city of Jacksonville, Florida, October 18-21, 1951, as the guest of the Jacksonville Alumni Chapter.
Prior to the October 1951 meeting in Jacksonville, there had been very little fraternity activity in the Southeastern Province. At the time W. Dickerson Donnelly was appointed Province Polemarch, no council meetings had been held since before World War II. The Tallahassee Alumni and Alpha Xi chapters hosted the post World War II revival of the Province with a meeting the weekend o f November 15, 1946. Polemarch Donnelly presided, and Grand Polemarch Augustus G. Parker (1945-47) was the principal speaker. Thereafter, the Southeastern Province met in Birmingham in 1947; in Columbia, SC, in 1948, in Atlanta, host by the Alumni and Pi chapters, in 1949; and in Spartanburg, Sc, in 1950. During these years Toussaint Hale of Birmingham was continuously elected Keeper of Records. With the revision of Consitution in Spartanburg, the duties of Keeper of Exchequer were combined with those of the Keeper of Records.
In his notes, Claude Hilliard of Jacksonville pointed out the nearly impossible task of supervising such an extended territory as the Southeastern Province. This matter had been the subject of lengthy discussion at two previous Grand Chapter meetings. A proposed division was discussed at the 38th Grand Chapter meeting in Detroit in 1948, and at the 39th Grand Chapter meeting in Nashville in 1949. However, it was not until the 40th Grand Chapter meeting in Kansas City in December, 1950, the division of the Province was authorized.
The states South Carolina and Georgia kept the original name and became know as the Southeastern Province. The state of Alabama and Florida were designated as the Gulf Province. However, before the first meeting of the new province occurred in October, the name was changed to Southern. Everharding Pruitt suggested that the change was made to conform with the compass directions as used in naming the provinces in the fraternity.
The official action of renaming the Province was taken two months later at the 41st Grand Chapter in Indianapolis, December 26-29, 1951.
W. Dickerson Donnelly, Polemarch of the Southeastern Province of the Southeastern Province, and Toussaint Hale, appointed Polemarch of the Gulf Province at the close of the 40th Grand Chapter, presided jointly at the first annual meeting.
The first annual meeting of the two provinces was to be a joint meeting, which would make it relatively simple to divide the assets of the old organization and elect separate officers to function for the Southern and Southeastern provinces respectively.
The Southern Province is now comprised of Alabama, Florida, U.S. Virgin Islands, Republic of Panama, and Grand Bahamas. It has 44 Alumni and 34 Undergraduate Chapters.
The Province is home to over 7,000 alumni members and over 3,000 undergraduate members. Bertram Orum has served as the 10th Province Polemarch since 2015.

Elizabeth & Mike Married!!! {St. Louis Wedding Photographer}
On July 27th, I woke up somewhere close to 5am to get ready to drive to St. Louis to photograph Liz & Mike's wedding with Jessica who was my second photographer for the big day. We had coffee in hand and ready for a little road trip July weddings are sometimes on the hottest days of the year, but not this July. The temperature cooled down a bit and had a crispness about it to make you excited for the fall. It truly was an invigorating day to have a wedding All of the girls were all excited and bubbly. The guys were equally fired up and ready for a great day! While I was photographing the girls getting ready, Jessica was photographing the guys getting ready at the Westin. Mike didn't see Elizabeth until she was walking down the aisle at the beautiful St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, it was a lovely moment to witness. The ceremony was beautiful and kicked off an afternoon and evening of joy and celebration! The reception was amazing and soooooo much fun! The details and decor were to die for!!!! I will start with Liz's fabulous dress and shoes!
I loved the chalkboard paint on the glasses! Keep your eye out for more chalkboard fun throughout the day!
Here is a fun shot Jessica took of me getting the shot on the left
Mike and his dad having a moment in the hall
Wow, just wow. Liz was just stunning.
I think my favorite part about the Westin was that it was right next to the Busch Stadium! How cool is that for a Cardinals fan!!!
Liz's nieces and nephews were super cute
And before Mike saw his bride on their wedding day, Liz's dad came to see his baby girl ready to walk down the aisle
Beautiful church, beautiful light and beautiful moment
After the ceremony everyone got on a limo bus and went to Forest Park for some photo fun!!!!
I LOVE the next two images and it is a great example of how awesome it is to have a 2nd photographer on your wedding day! While I was in the position for the first shot, Jessica's angle was awesome with the water as the background!!!
ok, kind of crazy about all of these images as well Seriously…are they not totally gorgeous?!!?!?!?!?
There was a lot of fun and singing going down The first image cracks me up
Can you believe these beautiful clouds? What an awesome day! My first wedding photos with the St. Louis Arch! I loved it!
The reception was at Moulin and was incredible!
The bride and groom entrance was pretty cool. Mike slid right in to his entrance. I was surprised by the fun entrance and I think Mike may have been surprised by a splinter or two 😉 Totally worth it for it's awesomeness though 😉
Now THIS is what a dance floor is suppose to look like Super fun!
Congratulations Liz & Mike! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!!!!!
Lauren & Kenny Married!!!! {Kansas City Wedding Photographer}
Yay!!!! Lauren & Kenny were married in beautiful Parkville where they met at Park College! The Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel is the beautiful little church on the campus of Park College, so what a perfect place for their ceremony!!!! It was such an exciting day with Lauren and her girls all smiley and bubbly! I had the great opportunity to photograph Lauren & Kenny's engagement session in Fort Worth where they live and had such a fun time getting to know them, I was super excited to photograph their wedding! And it was just as great as I thought it would be! Let me tell the story with the photos!!!!
I want to start with a few shots from the engagement session because it was just soooooo awesome and I haven't had enough time to blog very many engagement sessions We shot a lot in the Fort Worth Stockyards which was really really cool
I loved this cactus photo so much even though I got stuck in the booty while shooting it!!!!!!
When I first walked in to the room where Lauren was getting ready my first view was her awesome hair style!
I loved that Lauren had her fancy bling shoes and her cowboy boots! A little Texas love
This series will show a bit of the wedding theme : BLING!!! Lauren is a blingy kind of gal!!!! Even her nails were blingy! Is blingy a real word?
Beautiful invitations with a little…..bling
And the cutie little Dia had her own dress too!!!!!
Meghan was a bit weepy on Lauren's wedding day
After Lauren & Kenny first saw each other, I think they were both more relaxed!!!!
LOVED the bridesmaid's dresses!!!!! And the boys looked pretty sharp too 😉
Seriously beautiful women in this family!!!!
AND…….this is how it is done 😉
Hello little cutie flower girl!!!!!
We had to hit a baseball field for a few shots since the boys played ball together at Park!!!!
Favorite alert for like the next whole set of images!!!!!!!!
The reception was at Piropos on the hill overlooking Parkville and the Missouri River. What a beautiful spot for an intimate reception!!!!! The flowers, the vases and OH MY GOODNESS- the cake-in love!
