This summer is one I will remember. I taught both differential equations and calculus II for the first time. Seeing these subjects from the instructors side has really opened my eyes to all kinds of details I never noticed before. One of the most striking new insights is how much these two courses have in common. They both rely deeply on sequences and series. Sequences are like a hallway in mathematics, one that connects many many many rooms.
I am working on two math book projects. The first is a Japanese-styled art book on the topic of sine and cosine. It's inspired by many of the lessons I taught this summer.
I want to bring all of the different ways that sine and cosine are presented in elementary and undergraduate mathematics in to one (long) pictorial document. I start with the differential equation, then solved it (using the series method from differential equations) producing and
Next I wanted a pictorial way to relate these power series to the unit circle. I have found it in this spiral (the first image shows how it is constructed as an involution):
The vertical and horizontal components will form the power series for sine and cosine respectively. Take the series of vertical line segments: and so on, the segments repeatedly over and under-shoot the accutal value of sine. The full paper by Leo S. Gurin, "A problem", can be found here.
I'm going to incorporate Gurin's spiral in to my book. I want to show the power series literally flying out of it, like they have come to life. I wonder if I can make it like the famous drawing of the sine curve projecting out of the unit circle?
Naturally, I already have planned to put that diagram in my booklet.
The Japanese-style book is perfect for series and periodic functions It's one long continuous piece of paper:
Yet very compact:
I'm also working on a very silly book about hypercycloids (that's the "math" name for the shapes drawn by spirographs, did I mention I collect spirographs?):
I'm trying to make it like a children's book, fun, light, a little silly:
I can't wait to share the final product.

WorldNetDaily Exclusive
Obama: America is 'no longer Christian'
Democrat says nation also for Muslims, nonbelievers
JERUSALEM – Some have been taking issue with largely unnoticed comments made last year by Sen. Barack Obama declaring the U.S. is "no longer a Christian nation" but is also a nation of others, including Muslims and nonbelievers.
The comments have been recently recirculating on Internet blogs.
"Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers," Obama said during a June 2007 speech available on YouTube.
At the speech, Obama also seemingly blasted the "Christian Right" for hijacking religion and using it to divide the nation:
"Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked. Part of it's because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who've been all too eager to exploit what divides us," he said.
Asked last year to clarify his remarks, Obama repeated them to the Christian Broadcast Network:
"I think that the right might worry a bit more about the dangers of sectarianism. Whatever we once were, we're no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers," Obama wrote in an e-mail to CBN News senior national correspondent David Brody.
"We should acknowledge this and realize that when we're formulating policies from the state house to the Senate floor to the White House, we've got to work to translate our reasoning into values that are accessible to every one of our citizens, not just members of our own faith community," wrote Obama.
Obama did clarify his statement about the "Christian Right."
"My intention was to contrast the heated partisan rhetoric of a distinct minority of Christian leaders with the vast majority of Evangelical Christians – conservatives included – who believe that hate has no place in our politics.
"When you have pastors and television pundits who appear to explicitly coordinate with one political party; when you're implying that your fellow Americans are traitors, terrorist sympathizers or akin to the devil himself; then I think you're attempting to hijack the faith of those who follow you for your own personal or political ends," wrote Obama.
The Illinois senator's speech declaring the U.S. "no longer Christian" was met with little fanfare. But it has been getting some recent play.
A television commercial that aired in South Dakota by a group calling itself the Coalition Against Anti-Christian Rhetoric juxtaposes the audio of Obama's "no longer Christian" statement over images of the presidential candidate dressed in Somali garb and a picture of Obama with his hands rested below his waist while other politicians place their hands over their hearts during the Pledge of Allegiance.
"It's time for people to take a stand against Barack Hussein Obama," declares the voiceover on the commercial.
The Gateway Pundit blog took notice of Obama's speech about the U.S. being a nation also for Muslims and non-believers.
"This won't play well in the Bible Belt," commented the blog in a recent posting.
Obama's campaign has long utilized faith as a central theme. The candidate's Christianity and his former membership in the controversial Trinity United Church of Christ have been much scrutinized.
His comment about the "Christian Right" echoed similar statements made by Merrill A. McPeak, Obama's military adviser and national campaign co-chairman.
As WND reported, in a 2003 interview with The Oregonian newspaper, McPeak seemed to compare evangelical Christians to the terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Oregonian interviewer asked McPeak whether "there's an element within Hamas, Hezbollah, that doesn't want Israel to exist at all and always will be there?"
McPeak responded by comparing the two terror groups to "radical" Oregonians.
"There's an element in Oregon, you know, that's always going to be radical in some pernicious way, and likely to clothe it in religious garments, so it makes it harder to attack. So there's craziness all over the place."
Oregon has a large evangelical Christian community.

I think I may have found my new "go to" pot luck contribution! Saying that, if you are coming to a potluck which I am also attending, find a new dish! Ok, but in all seriousness, this was bright and summery and so good. The recipe is from Real Simple. It is quick and easy. I made this on Friday night in preparation for a potluck on Saturday (for our CSA - Henry Got Crops). I knew I would not have a minute to spare on Saturday, and I easily knocked this out on Friday.
The one thing I learned about pasta that I will share with you, is that for pasta salads, its really important that you rinse your pasta as soon as it is done with cold water. Really rinse it well!!! This prevents the individual pieces from sticking and makes a much better dish.
Orzo and Cucumber Salad
adapted (not much) from Real Simple
serves 8
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt and black pepper
1 box orzo
1 English cucumber, chopped into 1/2" pieces
6 scallions, thinly sliced (including a good portion of the green part)
1/4-1/2 cup chopped fresh mint depending on taste
Cook the orzo according to the package directions. Drain, run under cold water to cool, and shake well to remove the excess water. In a medium bowl, toss the orzo with the cucumber, scallions, mint, lemon juice, toil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

THE CHESS LESSON Adds 1/27 Performance
Due to popular demand, Slightly Altered States Theater Company announces the additional performance of World Premiere of THE CHESS LESSON, an absurdist comedy by Sari Caine, a chess champion and teacher. The added performance will take place on Sunday, January 27 at 9pm at IRT Theater.
By audience request, the company will also offer a free beginners chess lesson sponsored by The Chess Forum on Saturday, January 26 from 12:30pm - 2pm at IRT. Taught by Sari Caine and David Crommett, it is open to the public and appropriate for ages 8 and up. To participate, you must RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In THE CHESS LESSON, three very different parents have come to take a chess class with their children's teacher. Despite everyone's best intentions, the adults keep turning into children, the class keeps slipping out of control, and the teacher is one romance novel away from a nervous breakdown. Four strangers all at a crossroads, alone together in a classroom for children, have no choice but to examine who they are, and remember who they were.
Directed by ElizaBeth Miller, THE CHESS LESSON stars David Crommett, Sari Caine, David Rigo and Meg Fee, with a production team that includes Daryl Embry (set), Derek Wright (lighting), Andre Fratto (sound), Zach Tait (stage manager) and Sonya Sobieski (dramaturg). It was developed through residencies at Space on Ryder Farm, Jimmy's No. 43, IRT, and with a donation from the Sidney and Beatrice Albert Foundation.
Sari Caine (Teacher/Playwright/Artistic Director/Co-Founder SAS) is a NYC bred playwright, actress, and chess instructor. Her plays have been produced at IRT, Jimmy's No. 43, Roy Arias Theater, and The Strawberry Festival. As a competitive chess player, she placed 10th in the country in the junior high division, and won city-wide tournaments. Named "The Best Beginner Chess Teacher in NYC" on Mommypoppins.com, she's taught in every borough since she was 13, teaching for over two dozen programs, including the Montessori Schools, NY Public Libraries and The Harlem Children Zone. She is an Artistic Associate with Purple Rep Theater Company. As an actress she has appeared off and off off broadway in The Crucible, Hey You Lightman, Picasso at the Lapin-Agile, The Children's Hour with Kate Burton, A Change Of Address with Allison Janney, Schoolhouse Theater: Imaginary Invalids, The Crucible, and shows at Circle in the Square, EST, York Theater, St Clements, La Mama, and Arclight. Film includes Mr Destiny, June Roses, The Year of the Nail, Artworks.
Slightly Altered States is a not-for-profit theater company made up of actors, writers, and improvisers. The company devoted to darkly funny, slightly absurd material that deals truthfully with the extraordinary in everyday circumstances.

Quote of the Day
"Our first task, our first job: caring for our children. If we don't get that right we don't get anything right."President Barack Obama on the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School where twenty children and six adults were killed.
(Washington Post)
1. Egyptian constitution wins backing in first round.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which propelled President Mohammed Morsi to power earlier this year, urged voters to approve the draft constitution in a two-day referendum, which will continue Dec. 22.
(USA Today)
2. Gun control debate begins to simmer after massacre.
Democrats say meaningful action in the wake of the school shootings in Connecticut must include a ban on military-style assault weapons and a look at how the nation deals with individuals suffering from serious mental illness.
3. Obama, Boehner: movement along the fiscal cliff.
Sources say House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has offered to raise the top income tax rate, affecting Americans who make more than $1 million annually. President Obama, however, wants to raise the top two tax rates, covering taxpayers who make more than $250,000 a year. He says the government needs more revenue to help reduce a national debt that now exceeds $16 trillion.
(USA Today)
4. Rise in renewable energy will require more use of fossil fuels.
One of the hidden costs of solar and wind power — and a problem the state is not yet prepared to meet — is that wind and solar energy must be backed up by other sources, typically gas-fired generators. As more solar and wind energy generators come online, fulfilling a legal mandate to produce one-third of California's electricity by 2020, the demand will rise for more backup power from fossil fuel plants.
(McClatchy News)
5. To start immigration reform, study Texas solution.
A good starting point for a legislative package is the so-called Texas Solution. Although I don't agree with all points on the list, it's a start. And, importantly, it includes a verifiable, temporary guest worker program. In addition, we should start a documentation process that includes a photograph, biometric data like a fingerprint and other identifying information.
6. U.S. plans for possibility that Assad could lose control of chemical arms cache.
As Bashar al-Assad's hold on power steadily weakens, U.S. officials are increasingly worried that Syria's weapons of mass destruction could fall into the hands of Islamist extremists, rogue generals, or other uncontrollable factions.
(Washington Post)
7. A Syrian airstrike kills Palestinian refugees and costs Assad support.
Government forces for the first time hit Syria's largest Palestinian refugee neighborhood with airstrikes on Sunday, killing at least eight people in the Yarmouk district of Damascus and driving dozens of formerly pro-government Palestinian fighters to defect to the rebels, fighters there said.
(New York Times)
8. Obama expected to nominate Kerry to head State Department.
U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to nominate Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry to succeed Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, sources familiar with the process said on Saturday.
(Chicago Tribune)
9. EPA cracks down on soot pollution.
Over objections from the oil industry and power companies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued new air quality rules today to slash the amount of fine-particle soot allowed from smokestacks, wood-burning stoves, and diesel vehicles.
(USA Today)
10. Syrians sounding alarm over growing food shortages.
With bread scarce in major cities and towns, infant formula in extremely short supply, and fuel costs skyrocketing, civilians in war-ravaged Syria face an acute food crisis that might end in starvation for many, according to activists from around the country of 22 million.

1 Tip for Going from the 9-5 Gig to Full Time Pro Blogger
Related blog posts and resources:
It isn't always pleasant but is necessary if you want to transition from your full time job to being a professional, full time blogger.
10 years ago I began my day with a bagel, Sports Center on ESPN and maybe some CNN before I went to my job. No personal development. No thought about how to plan my day. I definitely had no thoughts about blogging because I had no idea what a blog was nearly a decade ago.
I knew how to complete a task for 40 hours – or longer – each week and get paid every Thursday.
That was my 9-5 job reality.
Fast forward 10 years. I am an island hopping pro blogger.
I have lived in places like Fiji, Bali, Costa Rica and Thailand for months or even years.
I had to release my old life of working 9-5 jobs to move into my current life of being a full time, pro blogger.
See that image above? That's me in Bali. I could not think, act and be like a security guard (my former job), following those security guard job having habits, to become an island hopping pro blogger who has lived in Bali for over a year, collectively.
Releasing Old Habits
Releasing old habits was not comfortable but very necessary if I wanted to stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like an entrepreneur.
No bagel, sports updates and news on waking. I had to begin meditating, doing yoga, planning out my blogging day and more than anything, I had to stop watching the news with all of its negative, fear-based influences.
Empowered entrepreneurs do not begin their day feasting on the mental trash that is the news.
Letting go the comfortable but mentally stagnating habits of eating a bagel while watching the news felt uncomfortable at first. Meditating brought up many of my fears. I also felt fidgety as my mind seemed to sprint like a race horse after 30 cups of espresso. But in time, my mind settled down.
I had to purge the old habits to make way for new habits.
This is the way to become a full time, pro blogger, if you are eager to transition from your 9-5 job toward a more fun, freeing way of living.
Releasing Old Friends
I have remained best buddies with all of my friends from high school, so I did not need to totally clean shop to go from employee to entrepreneur. But I did need to let go some folks who were poor influences.
This can be highly uncomfortable if you need to release good friends or close family members who try to make your jump more like a seemingly impossible quantum leap. But they need to go for you to succeed with blogging.
Remember; release. This idea of letting go the old energies in your old life to make room for exciting, fun and freeing new energies in your new life is not always comfortable or easy to embrace but it is the tuition you need to pay to go from employee to entrepreneur.
The New Life Emerges
When you cease seeing yourself as a current or former employee and begin to see yourself as a full time pro blogger – even before you make a cent with your blog – things will change quickly. The energetic shift will inspire you to meet new, empowered bloggers. Creative, prospering ideas will knock on your mind's door. You will actually look forward to your morning mindset routine.
Everything will come together beautifully but you need to let go the old and worn out to make room for the new, the inspired, the freeing, the fun, and the exciting.
Embrace a few moment's of discomfort. Change your habits.
Patiently and persistently let go the old to make room for your new, exciting, burgeoning career as a full time pro blogger.
Watch this video as I discuss the concept of release and how it helps you leave behind your old life to make room for your new life.
Discover How to Build Your Website for Free with Mobirise
Have you been thinking about designing a new website, but you're worried that your technical skills are not up to spec? Would you rather avoid looking at any code whatsoever, instead working within an intuitive visual interface where you can drag-and-drop website elements, easily adjusting their parameters and specifics with just a few quick clicks of the mouse? And maybe you want to do all of this without spending a dime?
Related blog posts and resources:
You're in luck. Mobirise is a free website builder software package that is "perfect for non-techies who are not familiar with the intricacies of web development." And every website you build with Mobirise will already be mobile-friendly, easily adapting to almost any screen for an excellent user experience. And yes, it really is free.
The Offline Website Builder
There are many aspects that separate Mobirise from other similar website builders, but perhaps one of the most important is that it functions as an offline app. Simply download the installer package for Windows or Mac.
What you'll find with a lot of other website builders is that they are browser-based, meaning that you need to have an active Internet connection. This also means you're at the mercy of potentially limited server-side resources too. What's more, many of these website builders are heavily integrated with specific paid services. If you want to use XYZ site builder, you need to buy a hosting package from XYZ, for example.
That's not at all the case with Mobirise. It's locally-installed software on your computer, running like any other local program. What this means is that you are much more in control of your creations. The offline app is perfect for creating small and medium websites, landing pages, business pages, online resumes, portfolios, and even online stores.
Once the software is installed, you simply login with Facebook or Google. Alternatively, you can create a new account with just an email and password. They don't ask for any other information and you can get started right away.
Designing a Website
By default, you'll be shown a sample page when you first launch Mobirise on your computer. This is a good way to play around with the features and options before designing your own custom website. The interface is minimalist and very visual.
Website design is completed with "blocks" that you can drag and drop into the web design. There is a button at the top for switching between desktop and mobile view, so you'll know what your website looks like on the two sizes of device displays. For each block, if you click on the "gear" icon near the top right, you'll be presented with a series of block options and settings.
For the intro block above, for example, you can choose which elements to display. There's also the option to change the background to an image, a solid color or a video. In the case of the last one, you simply provide a link (like to a YouTube video) and you can even add an overlay to the video with your choice of opacity. This is very useful for ensuring your intro text remains clearly legible.
Block Choice and Customization
You can choose to create a new website from scratch or, more likely, you can start with a template or theme that you can then customize to suit your needs. All said, you can expect to find over 1500 website blocks, templates and themes.
To add a block, you click on the "plus" icon near the bottom right of the interface. This brings up the block menu. The blocks are organized into a number of categories, including headers, counters, images & videos, animated features, pricing tables, timelines & steps, forms, contacts and more. Simply drag a block onto the page to add it. The blocks are easily reordered and moved on your webpage by clicking on the up and down arrow ("drag block") near the "gear" icon for that block.
Once you've added a block to your website design, you can click on any of the elements in that block to edit them accordingly. Text is straightforward enough. In this example where I added a group of products, clicking on an image lets me change that image. You can upload your own, browse a free online library (via Pixabay), or look at the site library for images you're already using.
The image can then be linked too, including linking to a block on the homepage. That's perfect for single-page designs, as might be the case for your online business site or portfolio page.
While you can choose from a huge variety of blocks, and the blocks can be heavily customized, I did encounter at least one limitation. Continuing with the example of the shop block, I can change the background color behind the cards, change the number of cards and so on. I can change the spacing above and below the block too.
However, the text description on each card cannot really be moved. You can see here that the left-align is right up to the edge of each card. I would've liked the ability to resize and/or move the text areas to address odd formatting and spacing issues like that.
You can view the whole site creation process and the many benefits of Mobirise through the video below.
Check Out the Demo Sites
A great way to see what is possible with Mobirise is to take a look at some of the live demo sites. If you scroll about three-quarters of the way down the main Mobirise webpage, you'll find several live demos available.
The HTML eCommerce Website Template is a great example of using background images, a variety of blocks, and a professional-looking parallax effect on scroll. There's even a great hover effect on the "meet our team" profile pictures for linking to social media. It looks really professional!
Is It Really Free?
The core Mobirise product is completely free to use, including a great number of blocks and features you can use to customize your website. However, once you start building your website, you'll find you have the option to purchase a number of "extensions" and other upgrades.
These are all relatively affordable, typically around the $39 mark each, and they can unlock new themes, blocks and other functions that you may want to have on your website. The additional premium features and functions are not at all a requirement; they're completely optional and since the app is offline, you can always build with the core framework.
You really have nothing to lose. If you're looking to create a new website that's mobile-friendly and great to look at, consider using Mobirise. It's easier than you might think.

Blogging Mindset: How to Go from Survival Mode to Servant to Stunning Success
Tropical birds provide background music for me as I write these words from Thailand. How's that sound for developing successful blogging mindset?
Related blog posts and resources:
The sun shines brilliantly. My home office feels cool and inviting.
A cold drink sits on the desk.
I am a stunning success now but did live in survival mode for a bit. I also became a humble servant. Servants do not get paid well. Ask a maid or butler.
The best blogging role you can play in this life time is that of a stunning success.
Success is your birthright. Success is yours now. Take it. Seize it. Give your energy to success. See your wins. Accelerate your blogging growth.
Blogging Mindset
Realize this: being successful is as simple as shifting your focus to positive ideas. After making that shift everything changes, from your thoughts, to feelings, to actions.
Example; you are reading this post. See this as being positive. Stunning success is yours because you are learning from a guy whose life reads like a movie. Big time win. Easy win too.
Check out this photo I snapped from my 4 month trip to Fiji.
What 10 positive things happened blogging-wise today? You published a post. I see that as a positive. You broadcast live on Facebook. Make that a positive. You feel better about your blog, right? Good. You have success within and feel successful so you will see success in the physical world. Where your energy goes, grows.
How to Leave Survival Mode and Servant Mode Behind
Kill 2 birds with one stunning success stone: leave both poverty conscious states of mind behind by developing a vision of your dream life.
Easy peasy.
This step involves sitting in a quiet room and allowing a picture of your dream life to appear in your mind. Either narrate the picture to yourself or let the image pop up in your mind.
Add details to make it feel real. Visualize your success.
Relax and listen to intuitive nudges.
The split second you see your dream and feel it as being real, the dream expands into physical form, for where your attention and energy goes, grows. See success. Success expands. Quite simple.
Exit survival mode – just trying to get by and pay bills with your blog – and leave servant mode while you are at it. Success seekers become the best in the world in their blogging niche. Forget trying to just survive. Leave behind the self-image of being a humble servant, a less than slave, putting people on a pedestal or not seizing your success, your brilliance, your most spectacular dream.
Success is your birthright. Grab the spotlight. Make more money. Help more folks. Step up into stunning success as you move higher and higher in blogging circles.
Create and Connect
Create uplifting content to inspire your readers.
This is from one of my many trips to Bali.
Connect with top pros in your blogging niche by helping them.
Following these practical tips becomes easier and easier after you give your sole attention to:
- your dreams
- your success
- positive thoughts and feelings
Focus on success. Watch how quickly success expands in your experience.
Creating and connecting is the work part of blogging but if you focus on positive ideas the work becomes easy because it is simple. Listen to your readers. How can you help them? Serve up valuable content through your blog posts.
Connecting with top pros is as simple as reading their posts, commenting genuinely on their blogs and promoting them. Easy.
World Famous Features
I landed features on Fox News among other world famous sites by building a vision of a fun, freeing life.
Do the same to see stunning success.
Features on famous blogs follow positive focused bloggers who know they are succeeding now. Focus on the moment. Feel good about every blogging win you see today. Feel good about your success. Success is as certain as the night following the day because you were born into a legacy of success. Let go any mental image of being a struggling servant or someone desperately trying to survive.
Step into your most spectacular dreams now.
Spectacular is ordinary in my life because I see spectacular as normal. Who knows if I am going to Bali or Malaysia next? Maybe I will just fly back to New York City. We will see.
I visualized this dream life and followed my intuition. My intuition nudged me to take certain actions from a chill, relaxed energy.
Energy Game
Energy is everything guys. Your life follows your energy. Focus on your dreams but do so from a relaxed, peaceful, chill vibe. See your vision as if it is real, already. Know you are succeeding now.
If you have this picture in mind you can relax. No need to work hard, to panic or to hurry. No need to rush or force things. Survival mode bloggers panic and hurry because these folks have no vision or dreams; survival mode bloggers just want to survive, being desperately driven by circumstances.
This is from one of my many trips to Thailand.
You know better.
You follow Blogging From Paradise.
Slow Down and Calm Down Because Success Is Already Yours
Your vision tells you to slow down, to calm down and to allow stunning success to flow your way in calm, confident fashion.
I spent most of today offline. After watching the latest episode of Game of Thrones – second time – with expat buddies here in Chiang Mai I am settling in to finish this post. My mental image makes it happen. My focus on success allows my blogging success to expand.
You get to have a life offline – and a rich one at that – as your online success expands. Seize this chief benefit of developing a winning blogging mindset. Exit survival mode and cease being a lowly servant by using your mind power to picture immense blogging success. Move into calm, confident, relaxed action to allow this success to come into form.

Angry protesters marched from People's Park in Berkeley, Calif., to the downtown police station Wednesday to voice anger at the death of Kayla Moore, a transgender woman who died in police custody.
At the station, approximately 70 protesters met with police in riot gear. The gathering remained peaceful even with some calling for "Vengeance for Kayla Moore." No arrests were made.
Before Moore's death, police were called to a residence with reports of a disturbance. According to police records, Moore screamed and resisted arrest; she later died in custody. An official cause of death for Moore has not yet been released by the Alameda County Coroner's Office. The Police Review Commission will discuss the woman's death at a meeting next Wednesday.

Tin Owl Photography
Tin Owl Photography is the professional fusion of photographers Leanne and Adam Pyle, united by marriage and occupation. Leanne was attending the University of Oklahoma, three years into a Photography degree, when she realized she had gleaned all she could from the classroom. She left her school books behind and dedicated her time to raising her children. With assignments in her wake, she found that she couldn't drop the discipline. She had an itchy shutter-release finger. Leanne's casual pictures began to garner attention from models and brides-to-be, all seeking someone to capture them at their best. Leanne tapped into a wellspring of clients. She honed her craft by shooting portraits, weddings, events, and by freezing the movements of her kinetically gifted kids. Early clients asserted that her mastery of aperture was undeniable, her calling apparent.
Fueled by her gusto, Adam took up the lens, too. He familiarized himself with photography's mechanics, theories, and pitfalls. Once it shifted from hobby to second nature, the couple decided to channel their combined energy into the construction of a more complete client roster. This new coalition resulted in a more diverse and robust portfolio.
Shortly after joining forces, Leanne and Adam moved the family to Dallas, Texas, where they focused on growing the business and integrating it with their flourishing family. Their shared enthusiasm for the profession makes the work effortless, and their love for the job is eclipsed only by the love for their kids and each other.
If seen on the street, the couple will likely be clutching a trusted camera from their arsenal, a few studio lights, and the hands of their children. Don't be alarmed in they're taking your picture. It's a full-time job.

While India and China are still the top destinations for outsourcing, a survey by the IT services firm Capgemini finds that Latin America is gaining ground.
The survey of 300 Fortune 1,000 executives, conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Capgemini, found that 25 percent of the executives said they already outsource operations to Latin America, compared with 27 percent who cited China and a whopping 60 percent who cited India.
Of the 222 executives who said their company outsources operations, the top four attributes sought are skilled labor, labor cost, technology and infrastructure capabilities and economic stability. The least relevant are proximity to the U.S. and time zone alignment.
And of the executives who don't currently do business in Latin America, 24 percent said they expect their companies to be doing business there in the next five years.

The annual Revolutionary Germantown Festival was recently announced. It will take place on Saturday, October 5, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at Cliveden, located at 6401 Germantown Ave. between Johnson and Cliveden Streets.
Cliveden, a National Historic Landmark, saw intense fighting on October 4, 1777, during the Revolutionary War Battle of Germantown. On the Cliveden grounds General Washington's Continental Army battled the British in the fight to liberate occupied Philadelphia. Honoring this significant moment in history dates to a Centennial Celebration held at Cliveden in 1877.
Today, in collaboration with other nearby Historic Germantown sites, including ACES Museum, Awbury Arboretum, Concord School, The Germantown White House, Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion, Germantown Mennonite Historic Trust, Germantown Historical Society, Grumblethorpe, Historic Fair Hill, Historic RittenhouseTown, Hood Cemetery, Johnson House, La Salle Art Museum, Stenton and Wyck House and Gardens, the Revolutionary Germantown Festival is a unique celebration of family entertainment and reenactments of the Battle of Germantown.
Event highlights include live presentations of the Surprise of Germantown narrated by author Tom McGuire, special guest reenactor Ned Hector, African American teamster who participated in the Battle of Brandywine and the Battle of Germantown, and special guest reenactor General George Washington presenting a narration about the Revolutionary War for independence and his experience at the Battle of Germantown at 11:00 am. Reenactments of the Battle of Germantown will take place at 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm, and tours of the interior of the Chew house will be available.
Other activities include a Suttler's Grove where merchants offer colonial replica crafts and souvenirs, children's activities, a beer garden, food trucks and vendors. Additionally, there will be a bell-ringing ceremony at the Concord School House, and an Oktoberfest celebration at Grumblethorpe, a Colonial German homestead where British General James Agnew succumbed to gunshot wounds. Oktoberfest at Grumblethorpe will take place at 5267 Germantown Ave. from 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p..m following the events at Cliveden.
Cliveden and Historic Germantown work together in partnership to produce the Revolutionary Germantown Festival to provide knowledge and educational resources to help preserve Germantown's historic sites, interpret them to the public, and incorporate them into the life of the local community.

Readers may recall the strange controversy that broke out in mid-2006 about then Lt. Tom Cotton. At that time, Tom was in charge of a unit that patrolled in Baghdad. He wrote a letter to the New York Times (which we printed) chastising it for disclosing the U.S. government's highly classified anti-terrorist-financing program. He stated:
You may think you have done a public service, but you have gravely endangered the lives of my soldiers and all other soldiers and innocent Iraqis here. Next time I hear that familiar explosion — or next time I feel it — I will wonder whether we could have stopped that bomb had you not instructed terrorists how to evade our financial surveillance.
Tom added:
[H]aving graduated from Harvard Law and practiced with a federal appellate judge and two Washington law firms before becoming an infantry officer, I am well-versed in the espionage laws relevant to this story and others — laws you have plainly violated. I hope that my colleagues at the Department of Justice match the courage of my soldiers here and prosecute you and your newspaper to the fullest extent of the law.
Portions of the left-side of the blogoshere and its readership reacted immediately. We were flooded with messages questioning the existence of (in the words of one fool) "the uncannily pat spokesman for the Conservative reaction to the NYT SWIFT Financial Surveillance Program; Lt. Tom Cotton, Lt., Infantry, USAR, Harvard Law Grad, exposed to constant danger of grievous injury or death while serving his country on the front-line in Iraq."

AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Proponents of the long putter celebrated completion of the grand slam when Australia's Adam Scott won the Masters on Sunday in a playoff against Angel Cabrera of Argentina.
The Masters was the last of the four major championships to be claimed by users of belly or broomstick putters.
With Keegan Bradley having won the 2011 PGA Championship for the first major title won by a player anchoring a long putter against his body, four of the last six major championships have been claimed by those wielding them.
Webb Simpson triumphed at last year's U.S. Open and South African Ernie Els followed with a victory in the British Open.
The spate of victories in the sport's biggest tournaments comes with golf's rules-making bodies poised to act on their proposed rules change that would ban from 2016 the practice of anchoring a putter to steady the stroke.
The U.S. PGA Tour and the PGA of America, comprised of teaching professionals, have come out against the proposed ban with the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal & Ancient governing bodies expected to make a final ruling later this year.
Scott said the recent run of success by players using long putters did not settle the debate.
"We are all waiting to hear what's going to happen," Scott said. "I don't know that this is going to impact any decisions at all.
"You know my feeling on it all; that it was inevitable that big tournaments would be won with this equipment, because these are the best players in the world and they practise thousands of hours. They are going to get good with whatever they are using. It's inevitable.
"I don't know that is going to have any impact on any decisions upcoming," Scott said about the possible impact of his Masters victory.
Use of long putters did not assure success at Augusta National.
Bradley finished at 297, nine over par and 18 strokes behind the winner. Twice Masters winner Els was a good bit better, posting a one-under-par total of 287. Simpson missed the cut.
Masters runner-up Cabrera scoffed at the suggestion that the long putter was a key to Scott's triumph.
"I don't think there is any advantage," said Cabrera, who used a putter that was belly length when he won the 2009 Masters, but did not anchor the club.
"If it really is an advantage, why don't everybody play it? So, you know, I'm just happy for him."
