It has been a very long time since I last posted. I can make up a bunch of excuses, but the bottom line is that I got burnt out and needed a break.
I am fresh and ready to write every day again.
Today's post will be mostly about the invasion of Normandy 75 years ago. I have interesting stats pertained to the day:
156,000 troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, and many other allies partook during this invasion.
5 beaches along the 50 mile stretch of Normandy coast were targeted for landing, with the allied code names of Utah, Omaha, Gold, and Sword.
6,000 landing ships and crafts. .
50,000 vehicles were used.
11,000 Planes were used.
12,004 total killed , wounded, or missing. (United States 8,230, United Kingdom, 2,700, and Canada 1,074)
326,000 who reached the beaches by June 11th.
496, 777 WWII veterans who are still alive as of 2018.
This was a horrible day for lost soldiers, but in the end it was much needed and led to the victory for the allies later.
If you were one of the soldiers who fought on that day, God bless you and you are a bonafide hero. You truly are the "Great Generation."
If for some reason you are struggling with PTSD, TBI, depression, war wounds, etc, Please get help. Here is a phone number you can call to get immediate help:

I have a text field in my survey that allows users to insert line breaks. I can see that several responses have taken advantage of this. However, when I export the data to either Excel (.xlsx) or .csv the line breaks are deleted; the text ends up on the same line.
Does anyone know how to preserve the white space formatting in a text box?

Ga. Supreme Court rules in favor of national Episcopal Church in property dispute
The Georgia Supreme Court ruled 6-1 today in favor of the national Episcopal Church in a property dispute case with the oldest church in Georgia that broke away from the national church after it affirmed its first openly gay bishop.
Savannah Christ Church, founded in 1733 and known as the "Mother Church of Georgia," joined the Episcopal Church in 1823. In 2007, four years after the Episcopal Church USA affirmed Gene Robinson as its first openly gay bishop, 87 percent of the Savannah congregation voted to break off from the national Episcopal Church and instead join an Anglican diocese in Uganda.
Gay East Point incumbent faces political newcomer in Dec. 6 runoff
Openly gay East Point City Council member Lance Rhodes faces a Dec. 6 runoff with Karen Rene, a first-time political candidate.
Rhodes garnered 49.52 percent of the Nov. 8 vote while Rene received 45.22 and Marie T. Williams got 5.05, according to official Fulton County election results. Because no candidate achieved 50 percent plus one vote, the top two advance to the runoff.
Rhodes, seeking his third term on the council, was instrumental in getting domestic partner benefits passed for city employees.

The cars we drive say a lot about us. – Alexandra Paul
Passionate car lovers searching for Cadillac XLR for sale has a retractable hardtop which is quite safe and more alluring to eyes in comparison to a soft retractable top.
This car is an icon in this era of upcoming models of new luxury cars for sale with a harmonious blend of technologies and material with its innovative features including a head-up display, Magnetic Ride Control, heated and cooled seats.
Its crisp and elegant design creates a dramatic presence and makes it a modern icon for its luxury and style. It automatically goes under Cadillac's sports division for its Angular styling and aggressive look.
If you are reluctantly searching for the most affordable luxury car then this car is the perfect choice for the Car lovers.
About Cadillac XLR
Cadillac XLR has a retractable roof with two-door, two-passenger roadster manufactured with a front-engine. Production was done from 2003-2009 and Models were launched from 2004-2009.
Cadillac introduced Cadillac XLR for sale in 2004 offering the following features:
- Head-up display
- Adaptive suspension
- Rear-mounted transmission
- Nearly 50-50 front-to-rear weight distribution
Cadillac XLR cars for sale were manufactured at the Corvette factory along with the Chevrolet Corvette in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Both of these cars share the hydroformed perimeter frame and composite bodywork construction with the unique style and design, suspension setting and engine.
Another magnificent substitute of Cadillac XLR is Corvette C6, with many premium features with its design borrowing cues from the CTS and STS models of the mid-2000s.
Cadillac launched versatile models. In 2004, new cars for sale were launched with a new edition in 2004 Norman Marcus Cadillac XLR was launched with a minimum price of $85,000.
The company launched its platinum edition of sports car for sale from 2007-2009, Alpine White Limited Edition was available in 2008 and Passion Red Special Edition in 2007.
In 2009, most of these cars with a 4.6 liter V8 has discontinued the cars for sale because of its low demand.
Features of Cadillac XLR:
- 320-hp V8 under the hood
- Folding hard-top
- Top European GT Convertibles.
- Tight Interior
- Lack of storage space
- Keyless access
Cadillac XLR-V offers more power of 443-hp with supercharged V-8.
Initially, the price of these cars for sale was $80,000 to $10,000. People who are interested in a two-seater car would be more interested in buying the corvette based car.
The price for the latest 2009 XLR ranges from $9,344 to $85,240.
In my opinion, most of the people have failed to judge the car's performance and stylish interior which makes it a "gentleman's rocketship".
Happy Riding!

Our whey protein isolate comes directly from fresh grass-fed cow's milk in New Zealand and is manufactured via a low-temperature ultrafiltration. This results in a pure protein source, virtually lactose-free, undenatured whey protein powder that is rich in essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). We blend organic wholefoods with each whey protein isolate powder, which provides delicious flavours as well as added nutritional benefits.
Is whey protein isolate suitable for lactose intolerant people?
Bare Blends whey protein isolate blends contains almost no lactose, and are suitable for lactose intolerant people. The NZ whey protein concentrate contains significantly more lactose, and is not as suitable for those with intolerances.
What is the best storage method?
The best method of storage is in a cool, dry location, and properly closed. Refrigeration should only be used when room temperature exceeds 27 degrees Celsius.
What is the shelf life?
Bare Blends' products have a 24-month shelf life from date of manufacture. The expiration date is clearly listed on the package. We are committed to keeping our batch sizes small to ensure maximum freshness of our products.
What are the serving sizes?
The recommended serving size is 30g, which equates to 3 tablespoons. Our serving sizes are an estimate for the average person, however, each individual will have different requirement for their optimal protein consumption. You may wish to experiment with the serving size until you find a quantity that suits you. For people consuming whey for weight management, consume 20-30g per serving For athletes aiming to increase lean muscle growth, or participating in strenuous exercise, consume 35g or more.
What is the amino acid profile of WPI?
Whey protein is one of the few sources that naturally contain all 20 amino acids, making it a complete protein. Bare Blends' whey protein isolate blends have a superior amino acid profile, and are especially undenatured due to low-temperature processing. They provide our bodies with the most functional protein to recover, repair and build muscles, and also boosting our immunity. The essential amino acids in each WPI blend can be viewed in the nutritional table on the product page.
Is whey protein suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?
Our whey protein blends use the highest quality wheys available, and don't include any artificial ingredients or high-level doses of synthesised amino acids. It should be an acceptable source of protein during pregnancy for healthy women without dairy allergens. As pregnancy is extremely personalised, we do recommend that prior to taking whey protein, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a physician to be sure whey protein is right for them.
Is whey protein suitable for children?
Although we use only the highest quality ingredients in all our blends, with nothing artificial or even 'natural' flavours, unfortunately we are unable to provide dietary advice for children under the age of 16. Therefore, we must recommend you seek the professional opinion of your family health care physician.
Isn't whey protein just for athletes and bodybuilders?
No, absolutely not. Whey protein has long been the protein supplementation of choice for athletes and bodybuilders because it is the most easily absorbed, high protein source available. But protein is important for everyone, not just athletes and bodybuilders, and can be incorporated to almost any diet to support a healthy lifestyle!
Can I use WPI as meal replacement?
Yes, protein shakes can be used as meal replacements, especially if blended with nut milk, dairy milk, or coconut water and nuts/fruits/veggies. This will make a satiating smoothie that will keep you feeling full and provide you with nutrients and energy throughout the day. We do of course recommend a healthy wholefood diet in conjunction with our supplements, and at least a minimal amount of exercise per day so that you can make the most out of our protein and it's lean-muscle building and weight-management attributes.
Is our whey protein powder organic?
While not certified organic, our whey has all the advantages of 100% natural pastures. The milk for our whey proteins is derived from cows that are grass-fed and graze year-round on natural pastures. It is GMO-free, hormone-treatment-free, pesticide-free and undergoes minimal processing.

The importance of using a good domain name generator
Choosing the best domain name generator can ease the task of finding the perfect domain name for their website. Clearly, picking the right name for a website is a time-consuming and hard task when starting a business.
People want their website name to be memorable, preferably short, professional-looking and reflect the essence of their business. At the same time, it has to be affordable and most importantly, available with specific top-level domain.
Coming up with a great domain name requires a lot of creativity. Nobody wants a boring website name that no one can memorize, or lengthy and untrustworthy looking name with hyphens (yes, people tend to judge domains with several hyphens as suspicious!).
Writing down your ideas is highly recommended; however, after checking them via domain name registrars, you can find out that they are taken or not available with your desired top-level domain (such as .COM or .CO.UK).
Not to even mention SEO drawbacks of a boring domain name, it is clear that there is a lot to consider before picking the right one for your business.
If you are planning to start a long-time business or blog, you must know that you cannot change your domain name that simply. If you do so, you can easily lose your ranks in search engines if you won't sort redirects properly.
Using a good domain name suggestion tool can help you find a website name you never thought of before, plus check its availability and price instantly. With the right filters on, you can detect a name that's catchy, short, and professional-looking. However, not all generators are equally useful or easy to use.
Our team has tested and hand-picked the best domain name generators of 2019 for you to use. Check the list and try them out before registering a chosen name with a registrar.
The Best Domain Name Generators
1. Namestation
Namestation is an excellent domain name suggestion tool that allows holding domain name contests to get user suggestions. It has the widest range of generator tools which function in specific way, for instance, append keywords from wordlists, generate short or random domain names, generate domains from related words, and even more.
It also allows choosing options for specific TLD only and filtering the domains by taken or available. What is more, you can click similar next to a name that you like and see similar options. Overall, it can be an extremely handy blog name generator.
One drawback of Namestation domain name generator is that the majority of services require a sign-up (which is free). Second is that you get a limited number of queries only.
2. DomainsBot
DomainsBot is a free domain name suggestion tool with simple and easy to use interface. It does not require a sign-up in order to use its services. You can filter the results by TLD, language, enter a word and see domains that include it, choose to see adult options included and filter out domains with dashes in them.
Clicking on a chosen domain name gives you an option to choose which registrar you want to register your chosen domain with.
DomainsBot is good, but there were a couple of things we didn't like. First, it only displays 15 results. Secondly, clicking on Buy takes you to registrar's homepage, but not to specific domain's purchase page.
3. Lean Domain Search
Lean Domain Search is a great domain name generator which displays only available options instantly. In case the chosen domain gets registered during your search, it will light up red after you click it.
You can sort the results alphabetically, by popularity, or length. In addition, you can choose whether you want the domain name to start with your entered keyword or phrase or end with it.
Another useful option is that LeanDomainSearch instantly checks identical name availability on Twitter, so that you can get a matching Twitter account name for your business.
The drawbacks of LDS are limited filters and only .COM TLD results.
4. Domainr
Domainr is a simple domain name generator that delivers results in real-time as you type your preferred keyword or keyphrase. However, it is the least useful generator of this list since it basically adds various TLDs to your entered phrase and doesn't mix thing up with prefixes or suffixes.
Since there aren't any filters available, you can't sort or improve the results. Once you click on a suggested domain name, Domainr gives you an option to register with some of the best registrars, and that's it.
We hope that our list will save your time and help you choose a website name faster. In case your favourite domain name generator isn't listed among our picks, make sure you share it with us in the comment section below!

MY UFO STORY By Twisted Wabbit . ~People don't believe me when I tell them I've had an encounter of the third kind'. That's when you have an actual run-in with aliens from another world. Well, I did, but you won't believe me anymore than the others I've told my story to, but I'm use to the squirrelly looks I get; so I don't mind going through it all over again. Laugh, if you must, but they' are here among us.~ Several years ago, I was on my way to California via the southern route. Around noon, while I was passing through New Mexico on a deserted stretch, I saw a silvery object zooming down out of the sky a thousand yards or so off the highway. Thinking it was a small aircraft in trouble, I pulled my car off to the side and hurried on foot, as fast as I could, to the spot hidden behind a stand of mesquite bushes. Well, imagine my shock when I saw what people call a flying saucer. After a moment a panel slid open in the side of the craft. I was expecting little, gray guys with big heads and large eyes, but what stepped out was a man with a long mop of hair and a beard, wearing a tie-dyed T-shirt, bell-bottom pants and sandals on his feet. He had a Bud in one hand and was scratching his head with the other. Bummer, dude, he said, seeing me huddled by a tall mesquite. Ran outta gas. Leaded or unleaded, I muttered numbly. . While we were walking back to my car to get my spare 2 gallon can, he told me his story while puffing on a joint. He was an interplanetary time traveler who had been tooling around in our 60's and was now returning to another dimension many centuries ahead. My ship burns charcoal, gas, kerosene, old rags -- just about anything, dude. He offered me a toke. When my photon generator crapped out at a Hendrix concert, I reworked an old 3 horsepower Murray lawnmower engine so that it converts centrifugal force into linear propulsion; I'm gettin' about 28,000 pounds of thrust per horsy. It's awesome, dude; I'll still be spinning rubber long after breaking the light barrier. ~Ah, well, there you have it: my UFO story. You know how people who claim to have seen aliens never seem to have photos? Well, I have plenty, except they look like pictures of two stoned dudes standing next to a large, round water tank.~ Tweet

Talisman is the newest chapter of Myers' work to be shared with the world, with LA-based label Origin Peoples, home to the likes of Johnny Nash, Tommy Awards and Lord Tusk, proving the perfect place for this retrospective album to land. It's the first time a collection of his most impressive compositions will be shared on vinyl, alongside a quartet of remixes, none of which has been reimagined before. Equal parts haunting and ethereal, Robert's use of melodic flute and twinkling keys juxtapose with eerie washes of synth, that enlighten and immerse the listener.
Talisman will come out on 1 April via Origin Peoples.

Groupe PSA to launch carsharing platform under Free2Move Paris
Groupe PSA is finalising the launch of a carsharing service providing mobility to Parisians. The objective is to launch this service operated under the Free2Move brand, by the last quarter of 2018. The fleet will initially include 500 Peugeot and Citroën electric vehicles.
The challenge will be to offer the best customer experience thanks to a sustainable solution.
This new Free2Move Paris offer is a part of the deployment of the Push to Pass strategic plan presented in April 2016 which aims to make Groupe PSA known as the preferred mobility provider.
The Free2Move mobility brand launched in 2016, today has more than 1 million customers worldwide with a fleet of 65,000 vehicles deployed in more than 10 countries.
Thanks to its experience in carsharing services deployed in different cities, including emov service in Madrid with more than 180,000 users, Groupe PSA aims to become a main player for sustainable mobility.
At this occasion, Brigitte Courtehoux, Member of the Executive Committee of Groupe PSA and Director of Mobility and Connectivity Services states: "After the launch of Free2Move App, we are providing Parisians with our know-how in urban mobility. It means a sustainable and high quality of electric car-sharing service. This is possible thanks to the good collaboration we have established with the Paris City Hall. "

Dispelling OAS Rumors
Dispelling the myths and rumors that are being spread about Operation American Spring
With a movement the size of OAS we expect to be attacked. For this reason we started the OAS Rumor Mill to dispel any false reporting. Col Riley himself will post responses to all false rumors so that people can have faith in the movement.
Q: I have seen around that this will be an armed event, is that true?
Col. Harry: Absolutely No Weapons. This will be a 100% peaceful event and we strongly advise against any weapons!
Q: I see more than one "official" facebook page for this event, which one is the official page:
The Official event page for OAS can be located here: https://www.facebook.com/events/697964746901040/ and here: http://www.patriotsforamerica.ning.com
Q: I heard you weren't taking donations and now I see the Tea Party taking donations in your name.
Col. Harry: We're aware what the Tea Party is doing, however we ARE NOT officially tied with ANYONE who is taking donations! OAS is a 100% volunteer event and we are not asking for donations. We will put anyone willing to help others get to D.C. in touch with those who need help. It will be between the giver/need to conclude their action.
Q: I have a situation, I've been told you work for the NSA.
Col Harry: This rumor is false. I worked at NSA for a number of years. I retired in 1992, was debriefed, my security clearances have obviously expired. I have absolutely no contact, no relationship with NSA. This is just another misinformation ploy to side-track OAS. If you want to get a reflection of what I'm about, google Northwest Florida Daily News...I'm sure they have archives of letters I've sent over the last 20 years.
Col Harry: False. As military men, we communicate. When General Vallely receives questions about OAS, he refers the individual or group to me for OAS action.
Q: I feel you should know that the page you had on the PAN site (Patriot Action Network) has been scrubbed. When I spoke to Darla the administrator, she informed me that your message was one of violence and it was against their policy.
Col Harry: Sorry to learn of PAN misunderstanding. Every fiber of OAS being is geared toward a non-violent, unarmed, peaceful, action as guaranteed by our US Constitution.
Q: It is being spread around there is tension between Tea Party elements and Operation American Spring(OAS). That Tea Party participation in Operation American Spring is not wanted or involved.
Col Harry: Nothing could be farther from the truth. We endorse Tea Party support and have Tea Party groups in support of OAS. Misinformation, elements attempting to divide patriots...don't let it happen. Come to PFA if you hear a rumor.
Q: I see additions some are saying is included in the OAS mission, e.g. 9th and 10th Amendment agenda?
Col Harry: Here is the OAS mission: Mission: Restoration of Constitutional government, rule of law, freedom, liberty "of the people, for the people, by the people" from despotic and tyrannical federal leadership. We will not get into side agendas.
Q: I viewed a media announcement by Bobby Powell, that OAS was a Satanic operation.
Col Harry: False. Those who judge will also be judged. "...I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Cor12:10
Q: I have heard that OAS has partnered with Occupy (as in those who set up criminal camps in DC/NYC/et al), is this true? Rumor that Van Jones has co-opted OAS is pure misinformation...don't fall for stuff until you seek facts.
COL Harry: OAS and OWS are in no related...the rumors are so great that if anyone walked near OWS during their event, that individual would be part of OWS...ridiculous.
Q: During phase 1 can you guarantee patriots will be risk free of harm?
COL Harry: We can't guarantee you won't die in an accident on the way to D.C. any more than we can guarantee anything in D.C. Freedom is not free.
Col. Riley,
For those of us who are unfamiliar with you, would you be kind enough to share significant aspects of your military background in operational terms? Do you have combat leadership experience? If so, would you describe? Do you truly believe that Washington is going to receive us "peacefully"; that this will truly be a "100% peaceful event? Would you please elaborate for the safety of all of the Americans who plan to participate in OAS? Thank you. Randall Smith
The Official OAS page on FB link is no longer good but i believe another one works, not sure if it's official or not.
This one https://www.facebook.com/OperationAmericanSpring.Target.Washington.DC
I was reading an online article yesterday. I always drop down & read a few comments. 1 person commented about American Spring taking care of the problem. A person responded to it, posting that people will be coming with guns. I quickly responded with, arms in D.C. are illegal & the law will be obeyed. That it is a peaceful protest. Maybe we are being demonized intentionally in an effort to cause fear. I am going to be more watchful to be sure that these post are rebuked.
I have heard that there are 1.8 million signed up to go in May is this a correct number?
Please, please, please...keep in mind that GOD IS IN CHARGE!
Don't listen to rumors and use some common sense please. If you have questions please post here. Col. Harry will be glad to give you the answers you seek.
This is a legitimate site.
Update re: Bob Powell, he is now fully behind OAS Project. Please see his site link below and his You Tube postings over the last few days. He thought originally that Gen. Vallely was involved, and he wanted nothing to do with it. It's disappointing he didn't do his 'homework' first before posting his first Y/T which was negative to OAS, but we are glad to see he now supports the Project.
Well we all knew ahead of time that Obama's O-bots are out there and are being paid to infiltrate and attack. Knowing that much alone tells me this mission is absolutely necessary. We have never seen that kind of domestic attack action at any time in American history. Stay tough folks, this is just the beginning. We've got 4 months to go.
Perhaps this is better than sending anyone to Youtube to view the video program hosted by Bobby Powell:
Hello, I'm greatly concerned over this recent radio program hosted by Bobby Powell. Perhaps we should review?
MK Ultra is not a joke and if all hell breaks loose in Washington on May 16, well...
YouTube Video embedded:
OAS HACKING AS I SEE IT: Harry has set the Op in Motion and BEFORE the hacking we all had sufficient information to know the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, and WHY; we can make our plans accordingly based on the SITREP. Any key information can be querried and verified. Keep your "spidey senses" on high alert.
"The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance." [Psalm 33:11-12]
Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus et Fidelis
As the rumor tab had been removed for a bit, I posted this on another thread. I hope you see this, COL Riley. I have heard that OAS has partnered with Occupy (as in those who set up criminal camps in DC/NYC/et al), is this true? Having planned events of this sort in the past, it is easy for infiltrators and moles to enter the mix and try to hijack this non-violent event, turning it into an animal it is not intended to be. Please tell me you have intelligence gathering personnel on your staff, and people in "leadership" rolls are being thoroughly vetted.
There are many Americans of all walks of life that are looking at OAS as the last opportunity to take back the unConstitutional powers the tyrannical gangs of corrupt politicians have stolen from We the People. You "build it" and they will come...in numbers never seen before. We cannot afford to have millions of average American patriots show in the District of Corruption for a peaceful show of numbers, then put them in harms way because some idiot decides he wants to make a name for himself and be the big man on campus.
Col Riley, Sir, in order for us to promote/support this "event" we need to know that at least for the phase 1 group we are not setting them up for grave risk. I so much want to support OAS but find it increasingly difficult when we cannot get confirmation that interlopers and nefarious infiltrators are being identified and immediately purged from the ranks of true patriots set on a peaceful, non-violent move on Babylon!
Please tell me there are investigators purging/eliminating nefarious infiltrators. Thank you and with great respect.

Nick Hornby writes some good books. They provide escape, along with a slice of real life, with characters that are undeniably easy to relate to, and are often stuck behind their own rules and foibles, forced to grow up at some point in their lives.
It has been many years since I read About A Boy, or saw the film version that served as an excellent adaptation, with Hugh Grant in the starring role.
Along comes a TV series, based on the same concept as the original novel and the film that followed it.
I had not heard much, if anything, about this series, but when it popped up on Netflix, I gave it a shot, with very little expectation.
But, in the first 12 episodes, About A Boy proves itself to be a very worthy TV series. It is fun, interesting, full of solid characters, and even manages to tug at the heartstrings a little bit.
The story is virtually the same as the source material. This time, Will is neighbors with Marcus and his odd mother, and they become friends as the show progresses. Eventually, Marcus has become an important part of Will's life, and one that is powerful enough to affect his decisions. At first, this is not a problem for Will, as he likes spending time with the kid, primarily because it allows him to be a kid himself. Marcus is an oddball, and needs a male influence in his life, as his father works in Antarctica with penguins. Despite the best intentions of his mother, he needs someone normal who can help guide him through life, how to be a little bit cooler, and how to break free of the often Norma Bates-like hold she has on his life.
Things begin to change when Will meets Dr. Sam, a woman who literally checks all the boxes of everything he had dreamed about in a woman. For the first time, Will truly cares about someone, and he knows that she is going to change his life. Will is forced to look at his life, and how he wants to live it. Does he want to continue to be a man-child? Does he want to remain as the fatherly influence in Marcus' life? Or does he want to carve out his own path with Sam, who even to viewers, comes across as pretty much the perfect woman. It doesn't hurt that she is played by the gorgeous Adrianne Padlicki, who we know from the TV version of Friday Night Lights.
This debate that Will is faced with provides us with the heartwarming moments of the series, and it is done well enough to truly enjoy, without getting too sappy, or too cheesy.
The cast of the show is solid across the board. David Walton is strong as Will, being goofy enough that we believe he doesn't want to grow up, and charming enough to understand that he can be successful enough with women, and be able to get a great catch like Dr. Sam. Minnie Driver (remember her!?!) plays the overbearing mother, and Marcus is played by Benjamin Stockman. As often annoying as kids can be on the screen, Stockman plays the role well, being perfectly awkward in all of the situations he is thrown in to.
About A Boy is worth a watch. It is great that there is no laugh track, and it doesn't feel like it is trying too hard. It is not focused on being a pure comedy, and not completely focused on being a drama. It does a good job of blending both elements, and it makes it come across as pretty natural, and easy to watch. A short first season makes it a perfect nominee for a good old fashioned Netflix binge watch.
For fans of the book or the film, the TV series will not be a disappointment. It stays pretty true to the origins of the story, and doesn't veer far enough to alienate any fans. While the same kind of wit may not be there as there were in the British novel or British TV show, but it felt like it was a little more emotionally touching than the first two versions.
The series hooked me enough that I am curious to see what they are going to do with a second season, if there is one (as planned).
I would recommend checking out About A Boy.

Dear friends!
We are happy to invite you to the
"Tomos Agapis" 15th Kyiv Summer Theological University,
which will take place
from June 28 to July 11, 2017
in the village of Lyshnya in the vicinity of Kyiv
The topic of the University for this year will be
The annual "Tomos Agapis" Kyiv Summer Theological University, which was launched in 2003, represents alternative forms of ecumenical theological education for both clergy and lay men and women. It is named "Tomos Agapis" after the famous correspondence of Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenogores, which developed the chief ideas of the Unitatis Redintegratio Decree on Ecumenism.
Dear friends!
We wholeheartedly congratulate you with the joy of the Christian Pascha!
Harrowing of Hell (1618-22) by Mesrop of Khizan,
On the Easter day, we are especially joyous to read the astonishing words of King David and St. Ambrose of Milan:
The Resurrection of our Lord is life for the dead, remission of sins for the sinners, and glory for the saints. This is why St. David prompts every creature and all creation to the most joyful triumph of this day, saying: "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it!" (Ps. 118:24). This day penetrates everything and illuminates everything, it embraces heaven and the nether regions: because the Light of Christ cannot be blocked by walls, divided by elements, obscured by darkness. The Light of Christ is the day without evening, the infinite day: it shines everywhere, it illuminates every place, and nothing can hide from it.
(Sermon on the Holy Easter)
Dear friends,
We wholeheartedly congratulate you on St. Clement's Day!
In these uneasy, such nonpeaceful, days we are called to remember one of the first peacemakers in the history of the Church and a glorious witness of Christ. It is exactly in these times of threats and dangers that we should behold the example of such saints. We should continually recall their words and deeds in order to remind ourselves and those around us that "the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it," that all discords and misfortunes are temporary, while the love of Christ is forever:

How to Get the Best FM Radio Reception
By David Lipscomb
Frequency modulated radio reception is a trusted way to receive your favorite stations. Like any radio frequency, you must use a properly placed antenna to achieve the best results. High-quality audio is within reach using tried and true methods of eliminating competing signals while maximizing the ones you are trying to receive.
Antenna Selection
FM signals work like VHF television signals in many respects. These radio waves travel around and under obstacles, unlike AM, which is largely line-of-sight. Since FM radio waves travel in a 6-foot-wide pattern, using an antenna with large individual elements will help ensure that you collect as much of the signal as possible. Rooftop antennas used for television also work well for FM bands, as do telescoping antennas with masts extending to 3 feet or more. As with any antenna, height and surface area are the two strongest weapons against weak reception. For this reason, you should always select an FM tuner with an external antenna connector if sound quality is important.
Antenna Placement
Many people use antennas limited to indoor use. In such environments, it's better to extend the antenna as far as possible. Placement close to a window and away from brick and steel if possible is ideal. The best scenario involves finding out where your favorite stations broadcast from and then choosing a window facing that direction. In this case, even a set of rabbit ears may be sufficient.
Minimize Interference
Fluorescent lights, microwaves and other similar electronic devices wreak havoc on FM signals. Turn off such equipment whenever possible if you are attempting to get the best FM reception. If the devices must remain on, mount the antenna as far away from them as possible for optimum reception.
Switch to Mono
Although it may seem counter-intuitive, switching to mono often alleviates many of the static and audio artifacts associated with fringe FM reception. Stereo FM sounds better when the signal is strong and reliable. To enjoy hard-to-receive stations or for cleaner overall sound, switching from stereo to mono is a proven solution.

Power Source - The Needs of the Many
Stardate 6050.5: The Farragut has lost contact with the U.S.S. Azrael under Captain Aaron Glenn. It was the Azrael's mission to investigate ancient pieces of alien technology in orbit around a gas giant. En route to that planet the Farragut is suddenly attacked by the Azrael and takes damage to the warp engines. When the Farragut arrives at the gas giant, the Azrael is in orbit again. Captain Carter beams over with a small team. They have to stun members of the Azrael's crew whose behavior is frantic. The team finds Glenn in a science lab where he is obsessively working on the mystery of the devices in orbit of the planet. Prescott arrests him, but Glenn escapes when once again Azrael crew members attack. As the devices are building up an enormous energy and his crew too begins to act erratically, Carter decides that it is time for both ships to leave the scene. He sends an armed team to the bridge of the Azrael to take control of the ship. The two ships escape the explosion of the planet. As everyone of the two crews is back to normal, Glenn returns with the Azrael to solve the mystery, while the crew of the Farragut just marvels what the ancient technology could have been useful for.
The animated episodes of Starship Farragut feature all the voices of the characters from the successful live-action series. They have been produced by NEO f/x in association with Farragut Films. The lead artist in the NEO f/x team is Kail Tescar, who runs Star Trek Animated and who also creates the Starship Farragut comics. The people who made these episodes, with all their combined competence, creativity and also commitment, definitely know their work.
In our time it is usually a reason for complaints if in an animated movie starships fly across the screen as if they were two-dimensional, without compensating for the parallax. Or if characters move like they were robots. In Starship Farragut Animated these former shortcomings are deliberately reproduced as a homage to the TAS episodes of the 1970s. And the result is impressive. The technical quality of the episodes is absolutely flawless, and the style is exactly as in TAS, with just subtle refinements.
The first episode, however, rather plays safe story-wise. It rehashes the very common trope that crew members act strangely under some sort of alien influence, and is not quite convincing in the depiction of the phenomenon. We never learn for what purpose the alien technology was constructed (which is a nice idea, just for a change, because in TOS and TAS it was usually revealed in the end). Anyway, we can't even tell what the immediate effect on the human body or mind is like. So the alien energy leads to thermal sensitivity? Or rather aggressiveness? Or ingenuity? Megalomania? Or everything at once, in varying degrees? I would have liked to see a more consistent pattern, an attempt of explanation, anything more elaborate than only crew members that behave like zombies or like mind-controlled or whatever. It is just too indefinite. And why is it that Captain Carter consults RT and Prescott, rather than Dr. Holley, about the physical and psychological effects of the radiation? She ought to have played a more significant role in this episode. There is a medical problem at hand, and no one really seems to take care of it. The animation does a fine job with close-ups on the reddening eyes though whenever a crew member is going out of line.
The dialogues are comparably simple, just as in TAS too. But they are also rather monotonous. I think the voice actors should have tried to put more vigor into their voices, instead of complying with the sedate animation of their characters. But even though real highlights were missing, they did an overall fine job. It was a real pleasure listening to them.
Remarkable dialogue: "I'm just sorry your Smithfield couldn't be here. I was rather looking forward to meeting her." - "Nooo sir. You might not enjoy that meeting. She is still in her engine room, trying to repair the mess that she thinks you caused. Last time I saw her she was grumbling something that included your name, and some choice words that I had to look up." (Glenn and Tacket)
Remarkable ship: The U.S.S. Azrael NCC-517 is a Saladin or Hermes-class vessel as seen in the Star Fleet Technical Manual.
Remarkable fact: Henry Francis Prescott III was on a training mission to Altair VI, and he received a commendation from Aaron Glenn.
Remarkable appearance: Chris Doohan lends his voice to the Andorian character Thelin. He is the son of James Doohan, who voiced not only Scotty but dozens of other TAS characters, including Thelin of TAS: "Yesteryear"!
Rating: 4
Stadate 6047.1: The Farragut is dispatched to Cestus III, where an orbital station of the Federation is under attack by a Gorn vessel. The Gorn captain is the same who was defeated by Captain Kirk in a test of character arranged by the Metrons, and he now seeks revenge. The Farragut rescues a Federation shuttle with a cloaking device, whose pilot is Montgomery Scott. The actual purpose of the space station, however, is to protect a wormhole. This wormhole collapses as the Gorn fire on it. The Farragut is trapped inside the phenomenon, together with countless bubbles of space-time that represent events in Earth's history. The Farragut beams out a human woman from one of these bubbles, who turns out to be Carmen Renata. She sacrificed herself when a wormhole was forming after a collider experiment in 2008, and she happens to be an ancestor of "Mike" Smithfield. Now that she isn't present in the past any longer, Earth has been destroyed long ago. The Farragut only still exists because the ship is protected inside the wormhole. RT develops a modified photon torpedo that would seal the wormhole, but in order to save the planet Earth and restore history, Carmen has to return to her time. When a Gorn and a Romulan ship attack, the Farragut can outsmart them thanks to Scotty's cloaking device and the attention of Carmen, who activates the device when everyone else in engineering is disabled. The plan works, Carmen is beamed back to the past to die there -again- and the wormhole is sealed.
While this second animated episode of Starship Farragut is technically on the same high level as "Power Source", it is emotionally much stronger, the dialogues carry more weight, and the story is simply more interesting to watch.
Commander Prescott is my favorite Farragut character anyway. And he has the chance to excel in "The Needs of the Many" like no other regular character. This is remarkable, because superficially his involvement in the story is not the strongest. But rather than RT or any other character Prescott represents the rational and sometimes almost philosophical approach of a rather well-known Vulcan. Only without the ears. It is fitting that of all characters he cites (besides several regulations, as usual) the Vulcan principle that "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." In one take he even raises one eyebrow! And his affection for Carmen Renata is clearly a highlight of the episode.
Carmen Renata is an unusually strong guest character. Somehow she reminds me of Captain Christopher of "Tomorrow is Yesterday" fame, one of the few people from Earth's history who didn't appear as jerks.
47s: The episode has lots of them, and they are too obvious. For instance, the Farragut receives a Code 47 communiqué, the wormhole opens every 47 days, for 47 minutes. Prescott cites security regulation #47.
Nitpicking: Why does the wormhole have to enclose bubbles particularly of "critical events from Earth's past"? Star Trek's time travels routinely end up in Earth's 20th or 21st century, but we may make up excuses for each individual case why it wasn't another place or time. In "The Needs of the Many", however, it appears as if a divine force had arranged those "critical events" from the 20th and 21st century just for the starship crew to make a fatal mistake. -- I am not happy that this episode promotes some odd kind of technophobia, considering that a collider experiment destroyed Earth in 2008. Sure, similar catastrophes do happen in the fictional Trek universe (such as with "polaric energy" or the "Omega molecule"). But real-world technology should not be the subject in such fiction. -- So the Gorn and the Romulan both want to destroy the "invader", namely the Farragut. But instead of joining forces they can't agree on who may fire the first shot, and they rather fire on each other. Come on. That's movie logic at its worst!
Continuity: The whole episode is based on the incident on Cestus III on stardate 3045.6, as shown in TOS: "Arena". -- We see the familiar Romulan Birds-of-Prey and an Andorian ship akin to the ones of Star Trek Enterprise. -- The Romulan cloaking looks just as in TOS: "The Enterprise Incident". -- It is mentioned that the Guardian of Forever has been investigated by Starfleet (an absolute favorite of fan film makers!).
Time travel issue: So Smithfield always kept the piece of 23rd century metal that was fused with Carmen's amulet when Carmen used it to enable the cloaking device. Does this mean that the temporal event was predestined, and Carmen was always meant to travel forth and back again in time? Or wasn't the Farragut totally protected, and Smithfield simply doesn't remember that there was a timeline in which she never kept such a piece of metal from her ancestor?
Remarkable dialogue: "Well, Mr. Prescott. You can rest easy now. It would appear Carmen's interaction here has left no detrimental changes in the timeline. It seems everyone was unaffected by her presence." - "Yes sir. It does seem that way for everyone - almost everyone." (Carter and Prescott)
Remarkable quote: "I do not trust one with skin so pink." (Andorian commander)
Remarkable ships: Scotty's shuttlecraft is the Copernicus (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon"). -- The Gorn ship looks just as the design for TOS-R: "Arena", which was never seen up close though.
Remarkable facts: Thelin is of Aenar descent, which explains his pale skin color (that was pale already in TAS). -- Carmen mentions that her husband died in New York on 9/11. -- In the alternate timeline Earth was destroyed, and the Andorians only find an asteroid belt in its place. -- RT calls his modified photon torpedo the "Pied Piper Pacer". -- The communication chatter of Starfleet mentions the Hood, the Azrael (of "Power Source") and a Captain Larry Nemecek.
Remarkable appearances: Tim Russ voices the Vulcan scientist T'Mar (who happens to look just like Tuvok). -- Chase Masterson lends her voice to Carmen Renata. -- This time Chris Doohan appears in his father's famous role as Montgomery Scott.

cloth nappies
as easy as they look
There are many reasons to choose reusable nappies. Here are just some.
Families who choose cloth nappies and reusable wipes save $1000 - $1500 during a child's first 3 years.
Using cloth nappies reduces landfill by 20 x 240 L garbage bins over a child's time in nappies.
Made from soft, breathable fabrics, cloth nappies are a gentle option for your child's first years.
Happy Parents!
We have lots of Seedling Baby products and love them all! Of the several nappy brands we have they are also the quickest to dry and the pre-fold design means we could use them from newborn and now even still at night.
Chloe, Horsham
Love them - the Diversifolds work so well and the pocket nappy shells and Cómodo Wraps fit so well from newborn to big toddler!
Gayle B.
We love our Seedling Baby nappies. They seem to be the most consistent modern cloth nappy that we have in terms of no leakage, able to catch the poo-plosions, fit and the all-important Dad using factor.
Emma M.
I love the Seedling nappies I have. They make a great nighttime nappy for my 4 month old daughter. We haven't had any leaks and we just love how absorbent the boosters are.
Tracey, Grafton
Last night was our first flight with our 3 month old. I was totally prepared for the poonami everyone talks about, and nervous as he hadn't pooed all day. And yes, in the air he let it all out! But I needn't have worried, his gorgeous Seedling Baby icon red nappy contained it all, no need to change his clothes!! Hubby calls them the Rolls Royce of nappies - bomb proof.
Hannah, Blackmans Bay
Lovely packaging, nice fabric feel, good sizing as a one size fits most nappy. I love the design, especially the double gussets. So far, I've had the nappy on my son for 6 hours and it was fantastic. Love the nappy! Really like the material used. Love the laundering tabs; extremely hard to get off, which is good. Would like to see the care label placement moved to a different spot though.
Khim, Langford
Very impressed with the Paddle Pants. My daughter has worn it now for over 6 months. It is so fantastic that the nappy can be adjusted to fit her quickly growing body. The quality is fantastic and looks just as good now as it did brand new.
Hayley, Newcastle
We LOVE our Seedling Baby Diversifolds, Cómodo Wraps, Paddle Pants and Home+Go Mat!
We have never had a leak in these nappies and they have such gorgeous prints! There is so much detail and the service is wonderful. These nappies can also be used from birth!
Our favourite product is the change mat which is super generous in size, padded and fabulous quality. Highly recommend this business.
Alana, Manly
I used the swim nappy (Paddle Pants) for the first time yesterday. My boy's allergies have been playing up big time, so nappies have been a shocker, to the point I almost considered disposables! I had no idea he had a major poo until I took the swim nappy off. It wasn't even on the gussets!
Shelley, Nowra
Mr 23 months is just off to the pool to show off his Paddle Pants again. Love, love, love them!
Lorna, Sydney
Here at Seedling Baby, we've been designing and creating cloth nappies since 2006. We've also used them on our 6 babies during that time, and we know our stuff. We know that you need something quick, simple and effective, so that's what we create.
Our pocket cloth nappy, swim nappy and nappy cover are all designed as one-size-fits-most (OSFM), so you can relax knowing that you don't have to buy new sizes as your baby grows.
But if you do need something that's more specifically sized, we also offer a newborn nappy cover and newborn pocket nappy, as well as a plus sized nappy cover (perfect for over toddler night nappies) and incredibly versatile super-sized prefolds.
We also make a range of practical accessories - wet bags, reusable liners, washable cloth wipes, a luxury change mat and prefolds - and produce our products in a range of hand-painted prints to ensure your cloth nappy journey is as beautiful as it is easy.
Keen to get into cloth but not sure where to start? Our blog is filled with helpful articles, from wash and care tips to honest parent reviews to hints for getting the most out of your nappies.

Who said you can't be big and still dress sexy? It is wrong to believe that being plus size limit your fashion possibilities. There are several ways to look amazing with the right fashion for plus size women. If you are a plus-size lady who needs some cute ideas on the best way to impress with your style, this post is for you. In this post, we will look at some great fashion ideas for plus size women and how you can dress to look great irrespective of the extra flesh here and there.
When it comes to selecting the right clothes and fashion ideas, most plus size women always find it hard to make the right choices. This is because getting the right clothes with the right fitting requires careful selection. Another challenge you will face as a plus-size woman when it comes to choosing your clothes is choosing the best materials that are light enough to make you feel comfortable in them.
With winter almost around the corner, you need clothes that are heavy enough to keep you warm. Your winter plus size outfits can be styled in a variety of ways. To most plus size women, there is no point searching for trending plus size clothes to wear. The important thing to most of these plus size women is to find simple clothes that make them feel comfortable. While dressing in very simple outfits is good for your comfort during hot weather, it is also important to find a way to turn your simple plus size outfits into very stylish fashion ideas. You can look stylish in your plus size outfits and still be comfortable.
leather jackets and hoodies
Leather jackets and hoodies have become increasingly popular in recent times for those stylish winter looks for plus size women. They come in different colors, fabrics, and designs to enable you to find something you would love to add to your wardrobe. You can style your leather jacket and hoodies with a beanie hat or a scarf around your neck. Also, you can wear a cardigan over your colorful shirt for a more amazing look.
Invest in printed Pants
Printed pants Are one of the latest fashion trends for plus size women. When you pair these printed pants with some solid colored tees, you create an awesome outfit that can make you look like the biggest star in your street.
Layered Up Looks With Long Boots
If you are one of those women who are always conscious of her legs, try to wear long
boots with long coats. This combination helps provide better coverage for your legs. If you love modest fashion outfits, long boots will go well with your modest fashion styles.
Make a Fashion Statement With A Printed Coat
Nothing will make you look more stylish on the road than printed blazers will. A nicely tailored blazer will look good on your curves. You will need to go for a blazer with the right color and print, which will blend with most of your outfits.
Street Swag For The Woman With Curves
When you pair striking neon-colored clothes with matching lipsticks and nail polish, you will make the right fashion statements any day.
Comfortable Casuals for Chubby Mums
As a nursing mum, you will need some loose outfits. However, these outfits must be carefully selected to reflect your personality. Some shades of gray will help your outfit blend well with the conventional dull colors of the chilly season. Alternatively, you can wear a bright pink color that can make you stand out anywhere you go.
Chic Street Style Outfit
You can search for outfits with obvious eye-catching details on the sleeves or neckline such as a colorful shirt that has a vintage look with a lacy neckline.
Black Is The Real Deal
Hot black outfits look great on plus size women. You can add a bold colored jacket or some sexy black gladiator heels.
Best Fall Accessories For Plus Size Women
Without the details your accessories add to your outfit, you are not fully dressed. Some of the best fall and winter accessories include the evergreen hat-scarf combination. When buying your fall outfits and accessories, make sure you go for unique patterns and prints that can help you make the boldest style statement.
Avoid wearing shapeless garments that ruin your beautiful shape. Go for outfits with the right fittings. You can wear leggings over a long furry coat. Don't go for a legging or top that is too tight. With these, you can never get it wrong with your fashion and styles.

Side Hustles
Barbecue is only at its very best when the smoky meat sidles up to a few perfectly made side dishes.
Hide-bound tradition has it that barbecue goes hand in glove with cole slaw, baked beans and potato salad. "They're the holy trinity of side dishes," says Caleb Fischer, executive chef of Bow & Arrow in Auburn. Ala. And while for many, not menuing the stalwart stars would be unimaginable, Fischer looks to sidestep some of the old ways.
"Dave (Bancroft, Bow & Arrow partner) and I agreed to stay away from baked beans," he says. "We wanted a more savory approach to sides, things that simmer a long time to develop flavor."
Camp beans, potlikker greens and butterbeans illustrate the approach, while such add-ons as house-pickled vegetables and marinated onions bring welcome astringency to counter barbecue's meaty richness.
Joe Pruner, executive chef of Woodlake Tavern in Sacramento, Calif., gives due props to standard sides from the "barbecue belt," but feels stronger affinity with California's bounty.
"We're lucky to be in an area flush with small produce farms. We rotate sides off the menu pretty quickly so they show seasonality," he says. Modernized mac and cheese, smoked onion rings and beef-tallow fries are permanent, joined by simple, veg-forward dishes such as asparagus and Brussels sprouts. "We have leeway to offer sides that are comfortable and familiar, but that are made with the same care as you would bring to fine dining. Our guests appreciate that."
Ted Terio, sales consultant for Reinhart Foodservice, firmly believes that barbecue sides are just as important as mains. "I understand both ends of the spectrum. Some people still love the classic sides, but there is a whole group that's interested in newer items with stronger flavor profiling," says Terio.
His advice? "When you think through the sides, make sure they complement the meat, have savory notes and some acidity to break down the fattiness of the meat.
"Contrasting textures is important, too, a little crunch. And mostly, you want to put lot of love into the sides," he adds.

The Lady Chablis, also known as "The Doll", was an entertainer from Savannah, Georgia. She got her big break in the early 1990s when she was featured as one of Savannah's colorful characters in John Berendt's book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, based on a true crime story. In the book, Chablis and her larger-than-life adventures provided a counterbalance to the darker narrative of murder that was central to the book.
Chablis played herself in the 1997 movie of the same title, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Kevin Spacey and John Cusack. Chablis made several appearances on talk shows when the book and the movie were released. Chablis frequently performs at her "home" nightclub of Club One in Savannah. Chablis traveled the US performing at various venues and special events, such as gay pride gatherings. She has also appeared on many television and radio shows.
In her early career as an entertainer, under the names Brenda Dale Knox and The Lady Jonel, she won multiple titles in drag pageantry.
Lady Chablis passed away on Thursday, September 8th, 2016 in Savannah surrounded by family and close friends. She was 59. She will forever be remembered by the many who knew and had the pleasure of meeting her.

What happens when you give six pro photographers across six cities in six different genres of photography one lens for one week each? Yeah, we were curious, too! So, we tried it with the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens and were floored by the results. This lens got the ultimate test so we could give you the ultimate review.
But hey, don't take our word for it. Go check out #1lens6pros on Instagram and see for yourself. We're also gonna give you a little summary right here, just because we love making your life easier.
The documentarian
Name: Angie Klaus
Location: Fairfax, Virginia
Genre: Documentary
Camera: Nikon D750
Shooting locations: Beach, zoo, pool
Favorite thing about the Sigma 24-70 Art: Versatility
The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens is hands down the most versatile lens I've ever used. From the beach to day trips to corners inside my home, and even to a client's birth session at the hospital… the lens worked like a charm to help me create gorgeous, crisp images with stunning color and beautifully rendered light. As a photojournalistic photographer and filmmaker, I depend on my lenses to be fast and capable of many different shooting situations and lighting conditions. I'm telling you, the Sigma 24-70mm Art delivered on all fronts.
The making of this image
This image was made in a dark aquarium observation tunnel. My goal was to capture the magical feeling we all experienced being there with the light streaming through the fish. I wanted all three children in the frame, so I zoomed out to 24mm and backed up as much as I could in order to incorporate three subjects and both sunbursts. I bumped my ISO to 1250, focused on my daughter's face, and waited for the right moment when everyone was engaged in the scene to click my shutter.

The family photographer
Name: Erin Brant
Location: San Diego, California
Genre: Family photography
Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
Shooting locations: Client's home, beach, baseball games
Favorite thing about the Sigma 24-70 Art: Light rendering
The Sigma 24-70mm Art is an amazing lens for fun, playful family photography. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it complemented my style of shooting. Whether I was at home in low light or outside in full sun, the 24-70 proved to be fast, sharp and incredibly versatile. I was shocked to discover just how beautifully the Sigma 24-70mm Art renders light. The images are super sharp right where I need them to be, the bokeh is delicious, and the colors almost had me jumping out of my chair with happiness while I was editing!
The making of this image
As we entered the water I noticed that dad immediately started swinging his son, so I zoomed in to focus on their fun interaction. To my delight, I realized that the little sister was gleefully reacting to the scene and the big brother was still deciding how he wanted to participate. I definitely had a bigger story to tell so I quickly zoomed out to 25mm to create this photo. I love how it really shows all of their personalities as well as how they interact as a family. Without the Sigma 24-70mm Art, I would've missed this moment for sure!

The adventure photographer
Name: Jess Buttermore
Location: Seattle, Washington
Genre: Adventure
Camera: Nikon D750
Shooting locations: Lake, island, Oregon coast
Favorite thing about the Sigma 24-70 Art: Sharpness
We are a family who loves to adventure, so I was thrilled for the opportunity to bring the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens along for a few family trips around the Pacific Northwest. This lens is fast to focus and incredibly crisp. The versatile focal lengths gave me the freedom to capture both the details of every moment by zooming in, as well as sweeping storytelling pullbacks by zooming out, all without having to switch lenses. And, it was perfectly sharp at all focal lengths! I love that I was able to beautifully frame my scenes in camera; no post-process cropping needed, and I didn't find myself constantly running backward to capture the entire scene. With just one lens, I was able to capture the entire story of each of our adventures.
The making of this image
For this image, I zoomed out to 35mm because I wanted to capture the entire scene surrounding my son, including the mountains behind him, the sun as it began to set, and the reflection of the sun flare in the water. I positioned myself so that the majority of the splash would be directly in front of the mountain for good contrast. Then, I changed my setting so I could rapid shoot and get a handful of splashes to choose from. This lens is fast to focus and incredibly crisp, which is what I needed to capture the details of the splash at high speed, the ripples in the lake, and the priceless expression on my son's face.

The wedding photographer
Name: Amy Kolodziej
Location: York, South Carolina
Genre: Wedding
Camera: Nikon D5
Shooting locations: Beach, portrait session, wedding
Favorite thing about the Sigma 24-70 Art: Zoom range
I have always been a huge fan of Sigma Art series lenses, having owned both the 35mm f/1.4 Art and the 50mm f/1.4 Art. Naturally, when the 24-70mm f/2.8 Art was announced, I knew it would be hard to resist. As a wedding photographer, it is extremely valuable to me to have a single lens in my bag that can not only keep up with the action, but also give me the flexibility to capture more than one vignette from any given scene without moving. I loved being able to go from a full scene to a smaller area within the same scene with a simple twist of the lens. This means I get to capture more storytelling images in a shorter period of time, thus giving my clients more variety and ensuring I capture all the precious details of a couple's big day.
The making of this image
The part of a day that I love the most also happens to be the time when the sun is setting the fastest. For a wedding, that means I have a very limited time to get the couple to a location that is desirable (like this gorgeous tree), get them comfortable and then frame my shot. For me, this photo is not just about the couple, but also about showcasing the beautiful environment of the wedding day. The water, the glow of the sun and the expansive tree all come together to frame the newly married couple. I was able to take this photo in seconds, knowing it was sharp at f/2.8, and captured the entire scene.

The newborn photographer
Name: Brittany Blake
Location: Orange County, California
Genre: Newborn
Camera: Fujifilm X-T2
Shooting locations: Beach, in-home newborn session
Favorite thing about the Sigma 24-70 Art: Versatility
If you've ever shot with a Sigma Art lens, you know that it's not only a beauty to hold in your hands, but the results it produces are just as lovely. When I was planning my week with the Sigma 24-70mm Art lens, I wanted to test it out in various types of light and conditions to really put it to the test. To share a bit about my gear setup, I was shooting with the Fujifilm X-T2 and an adapter for Nikon mount lenses. While Sigma does not offer a Fuji mount, I found the adapter to work well for me. My favorite thing about the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 Art lens, hands down, is versatility. Having a range of focal lengths at a twist of the hand is a luxury that can't be beat. It allows for fine tuning of composition as well as a variety of view points in a single scene without having to move much.
The making of this image
When photographing newborns, anticipating the scene is an important step in the process. The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens allowed me to position myself behind the subjects and fine tune my framing as I waited for a sweet little smile that I just knew was coming based on baby's cues. Paying close attention to the shadows and light, I was able to zoom in to 50mm and capture this moment that mom will cherish for a lifetime. This lens handles indoor light in the best of ways!

The commercial photographer
Name: Kimberly Murray
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Genre: Commercial
Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
Shooting locations: Home, indoor studio
Favorite thing about the Sigma 24-70 Art: Quick focus
I photograph most of my product and still life images from above as flat lays. For a great flat lay, I need all of the items in focus and styled in a compelling composition. To achieve this, I used to roughly style the scene and then go through a never-ending process of raising and lowering my tripod to get the framing just right. The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens allowed me to quickly get the framing exactly how I wanted while keeping my tripod in place. Game changer! What's more, it was tack sharp when capturing texture and other fine details. Plus, it was quick to focus when changing the focal point, which was key when I had little hands in the shot.
The making of this image
Since I knew that I wanted to include my two-year-old daughter in the scene (and her ability to hold a pose is short) I set up my equipment and scene in advance. Based on my tripod height at the time, 44mm turned out to be the best focal length to get the scene in the frame without unwanted background showing. I was able to quickly zoom the lens without moving my tripod. As my daughter went to explore the knitting needles, I noticed that her hand placement was perfect. Because the lens has such a fast autofocus, I was able to quickly change my focus point and capture this shot before she moved.

Case File Information
Date of Event / Case File: 03/01/1964
Name of Witness: Dan Ragan
Date of Sighting: March, 1964
Time of Sighting: 10 PM to 8 AM
Date Reported: May 15, 2005
Location: Westchester, Illinois (Suburb of Chicago)
Latitude: 41.85295 Degrees North
Longitude: 87.88422 Degrees West
Number of Witnesses: One
Number Witnesses Interviewed: One
Witness Has Consented to Use of His Full Name in This Report
Description: Dan Ragan recalls going to bed when he was five years old and instantly seeing the sun come up. He said that his mother tucked him into bed at 10 PM and in an instant the sun came up and it was daylight. He said that he never even closed his eyes. He went into the bedroom to see his mother at the time (8 AM the next morning) and she was sound asleep.
He was not ill and was not taking any medication. He recalls nothing of the missing time and his mother or father did not experience anything unusual. Both parents and himself were in the house at the time of the incident. He has discussed this experience with his wife over the years and upon seeing the Peter Jennings ABC Special "Seeing is Believing" made him decide to report the experience.
Investigator's Notes: I have spoken at length with Dan and his wife about his experience.
Dan says that he never forgot this experience and that he discussed it over the years with his parents and his wife. He has had no problems as the result of this experience, but still to this day does not know what happened. My assessment of the interview is that Dan is credible and firmly believes that this happened to him. Could Dan have been abducted? What caused the missing time?
Why did the sun rise immediately after his mother turned the lights off in his room? (Ten hours went by in a split second.) I have checked the National UFO Reporting Center for sightings in March of 1964. Only two sightings were reported and neither were near where Dan had his experience. I have also checked the Air Force Project Bluebook files for sightings in this area in March of 1964. No sightings were reported anywhere in Illinois in March of 1964.

Q: My 75-year old mother was recently widowed. She's in good health, but I am concerned about her being isolated. What can I do?
A: When an elderly person who lives alone does not need nursing care or home care, but does need companionship and some kind of daily routine, adult day care may be the solution. According to a year-long study by the California Department of Aging, up to 96 percent of the people who attended adult day care centers either improved or maintained their levels of function in such activities as bathing, dressing, and problem-solving. The ability to perform these simple daily tasks is critical in determining whether or not individuals can continue to live on their own. Many day care services provide door to door transportation for their enrollees, Day care, which averages about $40 a day depending on the region and services, is also much less expensive than home care which can run anywhere from $8 to $50 an hour.
Day care centers increasingly cater to the very active senior citizens in our society, with activities that include swimming, exercise classes, dancing, hiking, sightseeing excursions and even trips to hospitals where the enrollees visit hospitalized children and adults. While your mother may not wish to live with you, she might consider living with a roommate. Sharing a home and a life with another person or similar age is a growing trend among seniors in this country. My best advice to you is to continue to let your mother make her decisions for as long as she is able.

A new measure of poverty for the UK has today been proposed by the Social Metrics Commission (SMC). The previous measure, which defined relative poverty as those households with less than 60% of the median income, was scrapped by the Government in 2015. A new measure has yet to be adopted, but the one proposed today by the SMC takes into account more than income – factoring in the cost of living.
The full details of the proposal have been released only today, with the official launch due to take place in London tomorrow. But from what Jubilee+ has seen so far, the proposed measure looks like a positive development. The crucial question is whether or not it will end up receiving cross-party support and being adopted as an official new measure of poverty in the UK. If this happens, it will move us on from debating how we measure poverty to, hopefully, debates about how we more effectively tackle it.
Jubilee+ will be at the official launch tomorrow, where we'll be hoping to find out more about the proposed measure. We're keen for any new measure to take into account whether or not people are able to live viably in our society. We also believe it is vital that the voices of those experiencing poverty are heard.
The IFS predicts that the number of children in poverty will rise to a record 5.2 million over the next five years, so it's absolutely vital that we don't just set a new measure for poverty, but that we work hard both to alleviate poverty in our communities and to address the root causes of poverty.
You can hear our initial thoughts on the new measure by tuning into TWR UK tonight at 10pm.
