1. "Let's Be Real." Wesley Morris on Let's Be Cops, cop movies, and the shooting in Ferguson.
"This would just be more flushable summer waste (and, please, don't let me stop you from jiggling the handle), except Let's Be Cops somehow doubles as a fantasy that knows its social limits, limits that connect it to the turmoil in Ferguson, and those limits ease on down the road of race. The movie doesn't want to make a big deal about this, but Justin is black and Ryan white, which is newsworthy in that, despite one guy's annoyance with the other, they appear to have been friends long enough for racial osmosis to set it. Justin speaks the way black comedians—like Wayans's father, Damon Sr.—do when they're impersonating an uptight white guy. Ryan occasionally twists and spikes the cadences of his speech so it sounds comedically black. Justin says 'dude' a lot. Ryan likes 'bro.' Permeable racial identity becomes a kind of running gag, especially once Key and his impersonation of a loopy Mexican gangsta shows up."
2. "2014 Creative Arts Emmy Winners include Sex, Scandal co-stars." True Detective, Sherlock and Orange Is the New Black all have big nights.
"The first round of 2014 Emmy Awards were handed out at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony on Saturday (August 16) night at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The ceremony, which precedes the Monday, August 25 Primetime Emmy Awards telecast, offered signs of hope for a number of drama and comedy hopefuls. Netflix's Orange Is the New Black, for example, won Emmys for editing, series casting and for Uzo Aduba, who is considered a guest actress for the purposes of these awards. No other comedy series was able to build any other momentum going into next week's show, with The Big Bang Bang Theory, Nurse Jackie, How I Met Your Mother and Brooklyn Nine-Nine grabbing isolated tech prizes and Jimmy Fallon winning the Guest Actor in a Comedy Series award for the second time in three years for his Saturday Night Live hosting duties."
3. "Searching for Tomorrow: The Story of Madlib and DOOM's Madvillainy." Following the 10th anniversary of Madlib and DOOM's telepathic mind meld of an album, Jeff Weiss traces the history of Madvillain and details how these two perpetually mystifying artists came together for an uncanny hip-hop classic.
"But the idea of Madvillain was as unlikely as it was inspired. Both men exhibited reclusive, out-of-orbit tendencies usually only found in Burial, Thomas Pynchon, and Himalayan glacier beings. And this was the early 2000s, before cell phones, social media, and email became appendages. The odds of corralling the duo in the same room were grim. Especially after Madlib became estranged from hip-hop in favor of Yesterdays New Quintet, his fictional fusion jazz band where he played every instrument. It may have been creatively emancipating, but his fledgling label, Stones Throw, was on the brink—and, save for a fluke hit that became a turntablist AK-47, Madlib was the imprint's one-man business plan since its inception in 1996. Despite the sterling merits of his jazz forays, Stones Throw's target audience didn't overlap enough with the chill stoner grandpa demographic to sustain itself."
4. "What Hollywood Lost When the Communists Were Purged." Richard Brody on Red Hollywood.
"But the inquisitional atmosphere, the virtual political censorship of Hollywood movies at the time, and the deëmphasis of express social content (or discontent) pushed filmmakers to express their ideas and emotions symbolically, to convey their 'general philosophical attitude' not in dramatic substance but in mood and tone—and these were hectic. Whether filmmakers were on the left or the right, the best of them captured, expressed, and aestheticized something raucous and discordant in the air. (The very title of Mankiewicz's People Will Talk, a medical comedy about an investigation of skeletons in the closet, and the clandestine intellectual cell of Sirk's All That Heaven Allows are just two of the myriad hints and winks at the ambient paranoia that found their way into movies by non-Communists.) Much of what we love about classic Hollywood is what we hate about its times."
5. "Consumed: David Cronenberg's Foray into Body Horror Prose." For Film International, Shane Joaquin Jimenez reviews the auteur's first novel.
"Consumed does not only derive its title from cannibalism, but as a play on the nature of consumerism as well. Nathan and Naomi are obsessed with acquiring material objects, and entire passages of the novel are populated, Bret Easton Ellis-style, with the name brands of phones, computers, and cameras (one can glimpse the directorial mind of Cronenberg at times, as he pontificates on the superiority of certain camera apertures or editing software). Cronenberg's dissection of modern life and consumer culture echoes the work of novelist Don DeLillo, whose novel Cosmopolis was adapted for the screen by Cronenberg in 2012. The book's central relationship between Nathan and Naomi, digitally garbled by technology, recalls the numbed, disconnected way characters interact with one another in Cosmopolis and other DeLillo work. Nathan and Naomi spend the length of the novel physically removed from another, connecting as disembodied ghosts through email or Skype to discuss their latest purchases. For them, as perhaps for all of us, 'Consumer choices and allegiances were the key to character and to all social interactions' (165)."

What else is coming from the competition to line up directly/indirectly to the performance & price point of the GTC VXR?
So just to give an example, the new Focus ST I envisage being a staple competitor (It's claimed bhp already puts it behind the prospective vxr BHP muhaha), along with the Scirocco and hopefully this time the Focus RS.
An indirect competitor being something like the Subaru BRZ (£25k/300bhp) which should land around the same time.
So, what other competitors priced upto 30k delivering around 300bhp that may be out already or coming out next year?

What Makes the Markets Move
Financial markets are constantly on the move, and those moves can have serious implications for what your retirement will look like. Still, most people don't really have any clue as to why the markets move the way they do. They see it as some dark alchemy, or at best, essentially random. In the long run, though, that's not quite true. We can look back and decipher why the markets moved the way that they did. Unfortunately, this understanding doesn't do us a whole lot of good if we're trying to predict exactly what will happen in the future. However, it is incredibly important for understanding how to get the most out of your retirement portfolio. Before we dig into that, let's think about security prices. They are the market's best estimate of the "true" price of a security, based on all the information available to the market. In other words, how much the marginal investor will buy or sell the security at1. Now, when I say all the available information, I really mean it. When people trade a security, they are aggregating everything that they know into the market, which means that the market is incorporating everything (save insider information) […]

ENGLAND CENTRE Kallum Watkins reckons Leeds Rhinos will show their true colours tonight.
Rhinos begin their Betfred Super-8s campaign at home to champions Wigan Warriors just six days after a painful 43-24 Ladbrokes Challenge Cup semi-final defeat by Hull.
Rhinos, known as a big-game team, fell flat in their most important match of the season so far, but they remain in a good position to push on and claim a place in the Grand Final and Watkins believes they will come up with the right response tonight.
"Obviously we were disappointed with the result and the performance," he said of the semi-final setback.
"Especially in the second half we weren't good enough.
"Full credit to Hull, they played brilliantly well and they got away from us in the second half.
"You can't criticise the commitment we had.
"We showed the attitude you need in those big games, but when opportunities came we didn't take them as much as Hull did.
"We move on now, we have to move on pretty quickly and we have got another big game this week against Wigan."
Watkins reckons every game in the eights will be "huge".
Leeds begin with a four-point advantage over fifth-placed Wakefield Trinity and Watkins insisted: "We want to finish as high up the table as possible and stay in the top-four.
"Everybody's a long way behind Cas now and they would have to lose a handful of games to be caught, but our aim is to play well and get the results we need.
"It's just about performing consistently, that's what we need in these big, tough games.
"It is really important we crack on from here."
Watkins – who was among Rhinos' semi-final try scorers – said everyone in the camp has been disappointed this week, but the mood is positive going into the final quarter of the campaign.
"We had an opportunity and we didn't take it, but for us it's about moving on quickly now," he stressed.
"We have got another opportunity, as do the other teams in the Super-8s.
"Obviously we were down at the time and early in the week, but our major focus now is on another big game against Wigan.
"It is always a tough battle when we play Wigan, but it is usually a classic, especially at Headingley."
Rhinos faced Wigan at DW Stadium in the final round of the regular season 14 days ago.
Their below-strength team, including seven teenagers, was beaten 34-0 – the first time Leeds had failed to score in a game for 19 years – but Watkins predicts tonight will be totally different with Rhinos coach Brian McDermott able to select from almost a fully-fit squad.
"It won't have any bearing," he said of the game two weeks ago.
"We know Wigan have come good and they are going to have a say in these Super-8s, definitely.
"We have to prepare ourselves for the best of them because they will need to be at their best throughout the Super-8s if they've got any chance of getting to the top-four.
"We will see the best of them and for us it's about responding from last week, getting a result and keeping us up there in the table."
Rhinos have not lost at home to Wigan since a 50-8 drubbing in June, 2012.
Watkins admitted they are aware of that, but can't rely on previous results.
"It's not something we've talked much about," he said.
"When it's Leeds and Wigan, wherever it is – whether it's here or at Wigan or in a semi-final or final – it is always tight and tense and you've always got to bring your best game to get a result.
"Our home results against them have been pretty good, but it's all down to playing well against a good team.
"We need that again to give ourselves an opportunity."
The top-four at the end of the extra seven rounds will contest the semi-finals with the top-two having home advantage.
Five points separate fourth-placed Salford Red Devils from Huddersfield Giants who are eighth so the race is wide open.
Watkins reckons every team in the top-eight are potential Grand Finalists, which means each week is an opportunity to lay down a marker ahead of the play-offs and title decider.
He said: "For us, it's just about concentrating on what we need to do and making sure we perform well throughout the Super-8s.
"If we do that we will give ourselves the opportunity to get into the semi-finals and get a home game.
"That's what it's all about.
"We want to get to Old Trafford and to be successful.
"We had an opportunity last weekend and didn't take it so our focus now is just on the Super-8s and pushing on now.
"We've got a tough few weeks coming up and we are looking forward to it.
"We are confident we can get there. For us it's about getting our consistency right in these big games.
"That gives you a bit more momentum going into the semi-finals and if you get to Old Trafford as well.
"It is really important for us to play well and build some momentum."

'Star Wars' overtakes 'Jurassic World' for third in global sales: Disney
The company said the seventh installment of the "Star Wars" saga made an estimated $145.9 million over the weekend, including $53 million in China.
"China led the way as the final international market to open with an estimated two-day weekend (total) of $53M, making it the highest Sat/Sun opening of all-time there as well as the biggest industry opening Saturday of all-time," a statement from Disney said.
Disney said the China numbers put the film's global total over $1.73 billion, behind only "Avatar" ($2.79 billion) and "Titanic" ($2.19 billion), both by filmmaker James Cameron.
"Jurassic World" had previously been number three, with $1.67 billion in total box office receipts.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" also became the all-time highest grossing film in the North American market this week, with cumulative sales topping $800 million for the first time ever, Disney said.

Power to Choose
If you live in NYC, con ed is your electricity supplier (possibly gas too, but I don't have that, despite my wife's claims to the contrary). Con ed provides the energy and the bill. Those wishing to have a green energy supplier (wind/hydro/solar/etc) need only change their supplier. The bill comes still comes from ConEd.
Lets say you use 300 KWH in an average month. (normal for us, if the AC isn't on)
- You switch to a green energy supplier (ESCO) -- supplier "X"
- Supplier X delivers 300 KWH(?) into the grid.*
- Your electricity is delivered in the same manner as always. Turn on a lamp and it goes on. But you have to ask yourself, do you really need that lamp on?
- You pay con ed, who pays supplier x.
The result: ConEd needs to produce less energy this month of non-renewably, polluting energy. 300KWH less, in our case. Imagine if 10 families switch... 100? 1000? The census says there's about 820,000 households in Manhattan. If 1% of Manhattan homes changed to green power, (assuming 500KWH monthly average -- our average across the last year)... let's see:
(Stats from the Energy Star Program site:)
General Conversions (Averages for the United States)
Energy to Carbon Emissions
1.55 pounds CO2 per kWh
(E.g.: 200,000 kWh x 1.55 lbs CO2/kWh = 310,000 lbs of CO2)
Carbon Emissions to Cars
11,560 pounds CO2 per car (I found this is a yearly stat. -Columbia)
(E.g.: 310,000 lbs CO2 /11,560 lbs CO2/car = 27 cars)
So if we figure:1% of 820,000 = 8,200 families
8,200 x 500KWH = 4,100,000 KWH per month
4,100,000 KWH x 1.55 CO2 = 6,355,000 lb CO2 / month saved.
And to put it in perspective:
6,355,000 lb CO2 per month = 76,260,000 lbs CO2 per year
76,260,000 lbs CO2 (year) / 11,560 lbs CO2 per car (year) = 6,597
If 1% of Manhattan homes switched to green power, it would be saving the same amount of CO2 in a year as would taking 6,597 cars off the roads.
And the number of homes in New York City (vs. Manhattan alone)? 3.2 million, or 4 times the number of Manhattan alone. Is 1% too much to ask?

Prominent Builder won't build in Weston
So, I was at my friend's house for dinner last night. He mentioned that a prominent, local, successful Builder who has been building houses in Weston for decades told him, "I wouldn't even THINK about building a house in Weston anymore. The Taxes are out of control." He continued that when he builds his next project, "it won't be in Weston, that's for sure. Westport or Wilton. But, not Weston." That's unfortunate, for Weston. This issue of Taxes has been coming up more and more. It's always been a factor in selling Weston. But, it's gotten EXTREME; and it puts Weston sellers at a real disadvantage.

The issue: Avian flu.
We suggest: Good news for now.
The state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries recently wrapped up its 2007-08 surveillance program on wild birds, and it released the good news: no cases of avian flu have been found.
That is certainly welcome, but it is not an eternal comfort.
Scientists are concerned about the possible spread of avian flu to the U.S. because this nation has wild birds that migrate through our space from parts of the world where the flu has been found.
Even that isn�t a horrible thing. Avian flu is a disease that has existed in these wild birds for eons. But it can spread to domestic birds, which become sick and die.
And in 1997, a strain of the flu -- H5N1 -- actually spread to humans and has killed 114 people since then.
The virus has spread through Asia, Europe and Africa, so it is not a far stretch to imagine that it could make its way here.
So far, so good, though, the state confirmed this week.
The reason there is such concern at the state level is that there are huge poultry-production plants here in the state.
And, of course, our state has a large number of people involved in the hunting of migratory birds -- ducks, for instance.
Improper or careless handling of these wild birds can facilitate the spread of the virus and even lead to people catching it, wildlife officials said.
According to the Wildlife and Fisheries Department, here are some guidelines that can help keep you safe from infection:
Enjoy wildlife from a distance to both minimize disturbance and eliminate exposure to any wildlife-borne health concerns.
Do not handle a wild bird, especially if it�s sick or dead.
Use disposable gloves while cleaning game.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling or cleaning birds.
Thoroughly clean hands, knives and cleaning surfaces after cleaning your game.
Make sure all game is thoroughly cooked.
There is no need to panic. The state has not found any cases of the virus and, in fact, there has been no case found in the U.S.
But, with our poultry facilities and our ties to wild game, the precautions are important to all Louisianans.
Avian flu is a deadly virus that could find its way here and even spread to humans. There is every reason to do what we can to make sure that doesn�t happen.
Editorials represent the opinions of this newspaper, and not of any one person.
Avian flu not issue, but remain cautious
The issue: Avian flu.

Only 4.8% of pregnant women who received the intervention quit smoking, compared with 4.6% of a control group, reported David Tappin, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of Glasgow and colleagues in study results published online today in BMJ.
Because the safety of nicotine replacement in pregnancy is not known, the British recommend behavioral therapy. In the U.S., nicotine replacement is recommended only as a last resort, after weighing benefits and risks, for pregnant women who smoke.
The study enrolled 762 pregnant women at two hospitals in Glasgow who were current smokers. About half (351) were assigned to the intervention group. These women received up to five motivational interview sessions in their homes, conducted by trained midwives.
The primary outcomes were whether the women had quit smoking, cut down, or increased smoking. These outcomes were obtained by self-reports but confirmed by cotinine concentration tests of blood and saliva samples.
Not only did the quitting rate in the intervention group not differ significantly from the control group, but fewer women in the intervention group cut down on cigarette use (4.2%) compared with the control group (6.3%). In the study, cutting down was defined as reducing cigarette use by half.
The only piece of positive news was that fewer women in the treatment group (5.1%) reported increased smoking compared with the control group (10.7%). Because nicotine metabolizes more quickly during pregnancy, some pregnant women tend to smoke more to maintain the same level of nicotine in their body, the researchers noted.
The researchers also noted that women were recruited into the study only at the time they arranged with hospitals for delivery (maternity booking). "Most women who are able to quit for reasons related to pregnancy probably do so by the time of maternity booking," the investigators said, "meaning that our study probably included heavier, more-dependent smokers."
In the U.S., between 12% and 20% of pregnant woman smoke, according to the National Partnership to Help Pregnant Smokers Quit, a coalition of organizations including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists; the American Heart Association; and the American Cancer Society.
The U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines suggest a counseling intervention conducted by a physician or other health care professional termed the "5A's." The guidelines recommend more-intensive counseling for those unwilling or unable to quit.
Finally, the guidelines state that pharmacological interventions, such as nicotine replacement or Wellbutrin (bupropion), have not been evaluated in pregnant women and should only be used as a last resort when the potential benefits outweigh the risks.

When I tell someone I work at IBM Research and they have no idea what it is we do, I usually follow up with "we built Watson, the computer that won Jeopardy!" If they have somewhat of an interest in science and technology they'll usually ask a bit more about what else Watson can do, and now, I have a response.
Watson is changing they way medical students learn.
As with many fields, the amount of medical data is growing at a rate that is nearly impossible to keep up with. Based on current estimates, the amount of medical information doubles every 5 years and by 2020, doctors could face 200 times the amount of facts that a human can process to make a decision. Because of this explosion in medical data, it's no longer possible for doctors and medical students to memorize it all, as they need to focus on critical thinking and making decisions; this is where Watson can help.
While Watson is not going to be your doctor, it is another tool that doctors and medical students can use to process information and make the right decisions. IBM is partnering with the Cleveland Clinic on a new technology called Watson Paths, which gives Watson the ability to look at multiple medical factors and discover and build out possible medical case scenarios including diagnosis and treatment options and how it came to those conclusions. Medical students at the Cleveland Clinic will be able to use this technology as part of their learning, and will be able to judge solution paths that Watson builds out and provide their own input by suggesting and considering a variety of hypotheses and finding key evidence to support potential answers, diagnoses and possible treatment options. This type of interaction helps the students evaluate medical case scenarios and find evidence to help them carefully rationalize decisions. At the same time Watson is able to build it's expertise in the medical domain and refine its solutions.
To me what's exciting about this announcement is that it's a way in which technology can enable people to process information and change the way they think. Once upon a time before people wrote things down, we would share long pieces of information, like a story, from one person to the next through a series of tone poems. These mnemonic devices allowed people to memorize lots of information, yet it inhibited them from thinking about anything else. The gradual move to the written word and print changed the way we think by freeing up our cognitive capacity to focus on processing and consuming new information rather than storing it. This type of shift in how we think has happened within print advancements (spaces between words, the printing press) and the shift from print to the web.
In a way Watson's use in the medical training field could be the beginning of another shift as we start to deal with the huge amount of data and information in front of us. While students will still need to memorize things and rely on certain pedagogical methods that have been around for a while, they will start to use new tools and focus on other skills (like critical thinking) to advance the profession of medicine.

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan — A mundane request from his wife meant the difference between life and death for Malik Rizwan.
But he now faces life without his wife or his child.
Just seconds before Saturday's massive earthquake struck, the couple were chatting in the office of their family-owned private school.
Classes were about to begin when Rizwan's wife, Fouzia, who is also the vice principal, asked whether he would mind doing the morning rounds to make sure the teachers had all shown up on time. It was his turn.
He had just stepped onto the steel terrace between two three-story buildings when what felt like an invisible fist hammered him to the ground. The terrace jumped at least a foot before one end broke free from the wall and dropped several yards.
"Within four seconds, there were seven strong jerks, and the whole building collapsed," Rizwan said Tuesday as Russian and Pakistani rescue workers searched for survivors in the rubble of the collapsed building. More than 20 students are believed buried there.

Rajkot, Mar 31 (PTI) Gujarat Lions medium pacer Munaf Patel today said experience of bowling on Indian wickets would play a key role during IPLs 10th season, as most of the wickets in the country were batting-friendly.
"Experience to play on Indian wickets, which are batting-friendly, is very important. Luckily, Gujarat Lions has medium pacers, who have enough experience to play on Indian wickets," Patel said.
"I, Praveen Kumar, Manpreet Gony and Dhaval Kulkarni, all the four medium pacers have enough experience to play on Indian wickets. We all have played for the country and have enough experience of playing in IPL," Patel said.
"We all know one another as well as our skipper very well in terms of what he wants from us as a bowling unit and that will give us an advantage of being Indians and playing on these wickets," Patel said.
When asked about his role as a senior member of the team, he said, "Its really a proud feeling that I am one of the sernior players of the squad and will lead the bowling department alongwith other senior bowlers. But I will have to carry extra responsibility of being one of the senior players of the squad," he said.
According to him, Gujarat Lions has a good bowling unit. "Though, all of us have experience of bowling on Indian wickets, our main focus would be to restrict the opposition to the lowest possible target," Patel, who had initially played for Rajasthan Royals and then for Mumbai Indians, said.
When asked about making a comeback to the national side, Patel said, "I do not think about it...my only focus is to perform well for my team. If I perform well, it will help me and my team too." PTI VJA NP

In particular, low pressure sodium (of which we used loads on the UK)
seems to be being phased out everywhere, and the last of the post WWII
concrete columns are all now at end of life (although most have long-
since been removed).
I just caught the team doing the road next to mine, and grabbed the
Philips MI36 lantern off a column, complete with its 36W SOX lamp and
gear. Thought I'd grab one before LPS is nowhere to be found anymore.
It's damn bright when fired up in my livingroom!
I also have a 135W SOX lamp, but no lantern or gear to run it.
The new lanterns take PL folded tube compact fluorescents. They
apparently have electronic control gear and brightness is controlled
by a radio signal. Normally they will dim after midnight, but this
can be overriden if there's some special event taking place. I notice
that in the smaller side roads, they default to being dimmer in the
first place. Some of the main road lamps are using electrodeless
Anyway, this got me thinking that we've gone round in a circle...
In the late 1940's when many of these roads were first lit, it was
common for the sideroads to use lanterns with a pair of 2' 40W T12
fluorescents, and main roads using lanterns with three 5' 80W T12
fluorescents (both these tube ratings being long obsolete now).
These were replaced with Mercury vapor or LPS lamps in the 1970s,
and sometimes with HPS or Metal Halide in the 2000's.
Now we're going back to fluorescent again, sometimes after an
abortive attempt at using LEDs.

Canada's junior team to play pre-tournament games in Calgary, Edmonton, Red DeerNHL.com @NHLdotcom
CALGARY - Canada will play exhibition games in Calgary, Red Deer, Alta., and Edmonton prior to the 2012 world junior men's hockey championship.
Canada takes on Finland on Dec. 19 at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary before facing Switzerland in Red Deer on Dec. 22. The host team's final tune-up is Dec. 23 versus Sweden at Edmonton's Rexall Place.
The Alberta communities of Brooks, Camrose, Lethbridge, Okotoks, Olds and Three Hills will host pre-tournament games for other countries. Red Deer's Enmax Centrium will also host an exhibition game between the U.S. and Russia on Dec. 20.
Canada, a silver medallist two straight years, opens the world junior tournament Dec. 26 in Edmonton versus Finland. The Canadians play all their Pool B games in Edmonton.
Calgary is the site of all medal-round and Pool A games. The final is Jan. 5 in Calgary.
Tickets for Canada's exhibition games will be sold via Ticketmaster.ca. General sales start Nov. 5 for the Edmonton game, Nov. 9 for the Calgary game and Nov. 28 for Red Deer.
Tickets for the Edmonton pre-tournament game are listed between $30 and $45 plus fees.
If the sale of ticket packages for the actual tournament are any indication, demand will also be high for exhibition games.
Hockey Canada received 186,781 entries for a ticket lottery draw between Dec. 7, 2010, and Jan. 6, 2011.
Successful entrants were able to buy a maximum of six tickets each and they did so at a pace that astonished the organizing committee.
About 275,000 tickets were sold. There wasn't enough tickets for everyone who was chosen in the lottery and they cried foul.
On Dec. 20, Okotoks hosts the Czech Republic versus Latvia and Denmark faces Sweden in Olds.
On Dec. 21, Slovakia and Finland meet at Calgary's WinSport Ice Complex and the U.S. and Switzerland square off in Camrose.
Russia and the Czechs have a pre-tournament game in Lethbridge on Dec. 22, which is the same day Latvia and Denmark play each other in Brooks. The Americans will take on Latvia in Three Hills on Dec. 23.

I don't believe that simply pointing a camera in a child's face is going to get the photos that you want. The best images are produced when the children are relaxed, comfortable and happy. Over posed and staged smiles usually end up with gritted teeth and squinty eyes. I take time to play with your child, encourage them to bring their favourite toy in the session and just be them self. Fine art toddler portraiture is an investment that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.
Relax And Let Kids Be Kids!
Photographs have the unique ability to shape and even transform the perceptions we have about ourselves and our loved ones. Whether it is a child's fascination with an everyday object or the sheer wonder of playing with friends, countless moments wait to be captured. The idea behind location portraiture is simple: a child's true personality and individuality shines at its brightest when they are allowed to be themselves in a familiar environment. Unobtrusive observation allows the documentation of spontaneous smiles and laughter, as well as the unique and truly magical expressions a child makes as they explore the world around them. Typically lasting for about two hours, sessions can take place at any number of locations: a favorite park, the beach or even your own backyard. Parents are encouraged to sit back, relax and let their kids be kids!

Rallye Deutschland - Update after SS3, Moselland 1Returning to the FIA World Rally Championship, François Duval and experienced co-driver, Denis Giraudet, got off to a good start at ADAC Rallye Deutschland producing the sixth-fastest stage time in SS1 for the Stobart M-Sport Ford Rally Team - just 0.7 seconds adrift of Sébastien Ogier.
However, close to the end of SS2, Duval broke the front right driveshaft on his Ford Focus RS WRC which lost the Belgian driver over 60 seconds during SS3 and dropped him back into eighth position.
Matthew Wilson/Scott Martin reported brake problems on their Ford Focus RS WRC in the opening three stages but the Cumbrian duo pulled into the first service in a comfortable sixth position overall, 20.5 seconds ahead of former Formula One Champion, Kimi Räikkönen.
Both Stobart crews have reported they will continue to push as they tackle the repeat loop of three stages covering 67.02 km this afternoon.
Stobart M-Sport Ford driver Matthew Wilson said:
This is a very difficult rally and the stages are dirty but I feel Ive got used to the surface quicker this time its definitely easier to handle the car on the tarmac here in comparison to Bulgaria. We had a bit of understeer on the first couple of stages and the brake pedal was too soft theres just no bite on the brakes so this lost us time. I think the overall set-up is just too soft so we might make some small changes during service. Weve had no other problems Ill just look to push this afternoon once Im happier with the set-up.
Stobart M-Sport Ford driver François Duval said:
The first stage went well this morning, I was pleased with my time but during the last 5km on SS2, I heard a pop after a junction as my front right driveshaft broke. The last stage was very tough to drive as a result and I lost a lot of time. Its disappointing because the first stage had gone so well. I want to try and keep up with Jari-Matti [Latvala] and Mikko [Hirvonen] this afternoon and hope to make up some time. Its good that this is a long rally as it can hopefully allow me to catch up on the others after a bad start this morning.

Help Take Back Our Country from Washington D.C.. with the Convention of States
If Trump had won the popular vote I'm quite confident that his supporters would be using that to press for him having a mandate even more. But since he didn't, oh, it doesn't matter. It could be fraud, EC is all that matters, etc.
Alate_One (December 17th, 2016),annabenedetti (December 17th, 2016)
Outside of that, whoever makes the claim bears the burden. That's just an axiom of proof.
That's an assertion/assumption. No serious study has ever indicated a statistically valid problem of election tipping fraud in our national history. Until that's sustained it's just political gamesmanship, whichever side is complaining. So Reagan, Bill, etc. can absolutely rest on their popular mandates and Hillary can rightly note that absent some proof to the contrary, millions more desired to see her ensconced than the fellow who won the land over hands contest.Furthermore, given there is no way to validate the popular vote without a voter identification system in place the popular vote winner cannot claim victory to that number even if it was the standard, which it is not.
That said, unless and until we do away with the EC, that's the way the old political cookie crumbles and people rending garments over it is just a waste of time. The election is over. It's time to move to the next thing.
You keep doing that, rm. You need to read me more widely because this is the second time you've missed the mark widely. I actually and repeatedly called for people not to vote for either. I didn't want either of these snake oil salesmen in the White House, so I'd be sour by either margin. I called her a near perfect storm of everything I dislike in politicians. Trump? As bad if in a different approach.All you have is sour grapes that your candidate could not sell her wares outside of liberal urban cities.
But you're not being fair about the demographic. Hillary had a lot of support outside of cities. Over half the electorate went with her and a good bit of that electorate doesn't live inside a few urban centers. It's just that this was, relatively speaking, a really close election.The concentrations were enough to help Trump carry areas outside of them, many of those by not so much. Anyway, a win is a win, close or by a mile.
Sure. If you've ever flown over the country in an airplane (or, I suppose, anything else that flies) you'll notice there aren't any actual lines on the topography below.Imagination?
Completely undisputed by me.Not so much, the electoral vote is the only vote that counts under the constitutional system that framers set up,
See, that's funny. You want "mob rule" too, only you like the way we've imagined carving up that mob. There's no magic in the EC. It's only reflecting that carving.move to a banana republic if you want mob rule.
I've held no other opinion. I've said as much in this very thread, I believe.Clinton knew the standard going into this election, everyone knew the standard, and if you cannot meet the standard you lose
Who seem confused on the point?Which party controls this government?
Me either. I also wouldn't call it a mandate for the side that actually lost seats...I wouldn't call that a stunning victory by any stretch
I'd conclude that when you look at the demographics of the party and the opposition you have a problem over the long haul. Obama was terrific as a rallying point for conservatives. Now the voices that made their living saying no and pointing fingers have the opportunity to put up and make their case.and given that since 2010 democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats, one would have conclude that the democrat party is on a roll.
Interesting times to live in.
You aren't what you eat, but you're always what you swallow.
On his way out of office, W. Bush was struggling to maintain a 30% approval rating. On his way out of office, Obama is pushing a 60% approval rating.

This is my second attempt at running the marathon. I have 13 weeks left to prepare my body for the run. I don't think the time will be sufficient. I might be able to complete the run but I don't think I will get any decent timing. I guess for the first marathon finish the run should be the primary target.
This Saturday I ran an 18k. I finished strong and still had some energy left. Enough to do another 3 maybe. Not enough to do another 10 or 20. Which is what my biggest concern is. I don't know how I will be able to increase my mileage over the coming weeks.
So far so good though. The shin is still not ready but it's getting there. Have to put in more work on the calf and glutes. I have decided to start following the 3+2 program described in the book that we bought. The runs are fewer but more difficult. Specially the speed drills. But its good training. I did the last long run in 2 hours 1 min pace 6.45 per minute. Decent timing but not good enough. At that timing it will take me 2:20 to do the half marathon. My target for the Hyderabad half marathon is 2:10. So I need to cut down another 10 mins. Will take a lot of work but hopefully I'll be able to get there.

Product 4/5
SALSA from the GUT all started with a small garden and the challenge of growing chile peppers in the southwest section in the city of Rutland, Vermont - affectionately known as "the GUT".
Despite a lot of trial and error, a short growing season and the forces of nature, the owner, Dave Raymond, was successful!
Dave wanted to make a salsa with his own personal touch. A thick, chunky garden style salsa that wouldn't fall off the chip, and would have a ful burst of flavor with every bite. Once you try Dave's salsa, you will see that he WAS successful!
Flavor: SMOKEY HABANERO X2 HOT
16 ounce jar.
ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS: Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Onions, Bell Peppers, Garlic, Cider Vinegar, Salt, Sugar, Cilantro, Mexican Oregano, Herbs and Spices. Never any preservatives!
This product was added to our catalog on Sunday 07 November, 2010.

Talk about getting taken for a ride. Morton Grove News warned about this Action Party bus to nowhere during the recent campaign specifically in promises made and lack of concrete results and the false hope that Village President DiMaria had an actual plan.
Now, we are told that the village board has passed a resolution to protect the funds the village receives from the state and a resolution responding to Gov. Bruce Rauner's "Turnaround Agenda." Morton Grove affirmed it wants local control at the village level and rejected state-mandated laws that cost the village money to enforce.
Wasn't it DiMaria who was just recently telling us how it was such a good deal to be spending our tax dollars to pay a lobbyist to insure that Morton Grove got state dollars? Morton Grove News said then that the promised state dollars were a fantasy and that the money spent on the lobbyist was a wasted crony-driven payoff for political purposes.
Well, guess what? There are no State of Illinois dollars to be had! (gasp!)… imagine that, just one more empty promise from the slickey used-car salesman posing as the leader of Morton Grove.
Do these officials actually believe that their "Action" in this matter will accomplish anything at all? Do they really believe that the good people of Morton Grove believe this garbage? Unfortunately, the answer here is, "probably".
Well, I hate to throw fertilizer on your cornflakes folks, but the resolutions aren't worth the cost of the paper they were written on. Fact; State actions trump village actions. That means that if the State decides to cut the gravy sent back to the village… it's gone… vanished… kaput!
The Champion article reporting the meeting stated: "The state distributes a portion of state income tax revenue into the Local Government Distributive fund, and it's earmarked for municipalities such as Morton Grove.
That fund has proven over the years to be a reliable source of the funding the village needs to provide services such as police, fire, snow plowing, street repair, etc., said Ryan Horne, the village administrator.
Such a cut could require the village to reduce services or raise property taxes to make up the difference in funding."
When you cut through the bureaucratic obfuscation and gobbledegook it boils down to the fact that Morton Grove has been living above it's means because of feeding at the State trough. The "free money" is gone and the pigs will now start going hungry.
Much of the political theater revolved around union opposition to the State's position on "right-to-work" legislation. What was not mentioned is that the Village has been underfunding police and fire pensions for a long time now and promising to pay amounts that cannot be sustained by the current taxes collected by the village.
This is not new information. It is not as if the collective geniuses in village government just had this information fall from the sky yesterday. As long ago as the Krier administration the rationale for the 28% increase in the tax levy was laid at the feet of the "pension crisis". Yet, knowing this, the DiMaria administration has increased village payroll, (for example, the economic development personnel have increased five-fold under DiMaria), yet new businesses and tax revenue from new businesses should have it's picture on the side of a milk carton… it has gone missing.
DiMaria said, (of the two pointless resolutions passed by the board); "It verifies local control. There are a lot of points in it we don't support." To quote the church lady from Saturday Night Live; "Well, isn't that special?" It seems as though the village president is defending these indefensible exercises in futility out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.
Trustee John Pietron lamented that the state's fiscal situation has gotten as bad as it has, laying some of the blame at Wall Street's feet. "It's the average person paying the price for it. It's unfortunate it has to happen," he said.
Shouldn't Wall-street insider Dan DiMaria understand the way that the markets work? After all, he has made his living as a commodities broker, stock broker and a mortgage broker. Where was his expertise when we needed it? Where was the contingency planning part of DiMaria's plan that the Action Party candidates so recently campaigned on? Why wasn't there a few bucks put aside in case of a rainy day? And now, the best the village "leaders" can come up with is they "disagree"! How many hours did the Village Attorney work on that gem of a piece of legislation?
Such disempowering bull… and hive mentality cowardice.
Unless you can get something viable and tangible on a very local level, forget the rest. The system is crumbling under its own wicked weight and all you're gonna have is what's immediately around you.
Work on that, while raising your conscious awareness and that of those around you. Nothing else matters at this point.

Well hello to one and all!
I have been blogging regularly over at 'Tales from a Mother, Musician and Multi-tasker' for nearly 12 months but I decided it was time to start a second blog. This was due to the fact that firstly I wanted to give 'Blogger' a trial run and secondly because my crafty creations were starting to take over a blog that started out as a story of my day to day life. Although, I've no doubt I will still be posting some of my work over at 'Tales from a MMM' the majority of my card making and scrap booking will now be displayed here.
Thanks for dropping by and please visit again soon!
