What I Learned From Steve Jobs
Three years Steve Jobs and his imaginative leadership left this earth.
I never met Steve Jobs but I was privileged enough to work in an Apple Retail store for two and a half years while he was leading Apple. I started just after the launch of the first iPhone and left after the launch of the iPad. These were exciting years for Apple and for us as employees.
Those years at Apple Retail were more transformative for my life and leadership than my years at seminary.
Here are just a few of the lessons I learned from my time at Apple Retail:
- Focus on a few things and do them well
- Give fearless feedback often
- Enrich lives, don't just sell products
- Infuse values into everything that is done and refer to them often
- Hire for fit on the team, not for qualifications or knowledge
I still remember that day three years ago when I heard that Steve had passed away. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I wanted to go to the Apple Store where I used to work and mourn with my co-workers.
We mourn the passing of those whose life and actions impact our lives the most.
Thank you Steve for inspiring and challenging me to think different.
Enhancing Relationships with Technology
Maybe it's the fact that we have two daughters but I'm a sucker for emotional commercials especially when they feature dads and daughters. Recently, the commercial for Google Chrome titled "Jess Time" brought tears to my eyes. It tells the story of a daughter at college connecting with her dad over video chat.
Finding Rest on a City Bus
Today I found rest for my soul on a city bus. I had thirty minutes to just sit without checking my email, reading the news or listening to music. It was beautiful.
I struggle with a restless soul especially during this season of my life. I am quick to become anxious and worry. I quickly leap for my phone and the endless checking of email, news and social media. This restlessness affects my relationship with God and my family. Read the rest of this entry
The Information Diet
I have an information addiction. Just ask my wife and kids. It is a struggle for me to put away my phone and focus. I am drawn to the latest tweet, email or blog post. This morning I came across Clay Johnson's new book The Information Diet. Johnson's contention is that just like junk food can ruin our personal health and overall society, bad information and its overconsumption has negative effects. The book is next on my reading list. Check out the website for the book here. There is a great list of tools and software to help us on our information diet. I am personally excited to try out Self Control which blocks email and websites for a predetermined time so I can concentrate on one task.
Here's a video promoting the ideas in The Information Diet.
Internet Piracy and Censorship
Today you will notice something strange on many of the websites that you frequent. Even the main page of WordPress had censorship images on the top blog posts. Today some websites are going dark protesting two bills before Congress, Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). These bills are designed to stop the piracy of copyrighted music, movies and television shows. Many in the tech world believe that though piracy needs to be stopped these two bills go too far. Here is a great explanation of the issues by Google.
I was in college during the heyday of Napster and thought it was a little strange that we could get music from the internet without paying for it. At Taylor University we had many discussions about the ethics of Napster and other file sharing services. My sense of justice always kicked into overdrive when fellow Christian students saw no problem with downloading free music illegally. Now almost twelve years later I still see the same lack of ethics in those who are younger. They see no issue with downloading movie or television shows illegally for free.
Hillary and I are currently addicted to the television show White Collar. We could have easily gone to a website and downloaded the shows for free but that went against our beliefs. You pay for the goods and services you consume. So we paid for a season pass on iTunes for the show. We have to wait an extra day to see the show after it airs on television but those who play a role in the show get paid. And it's legal.
Though PIPA and SOPA go too far in censoring the internet, Congress needs to work with those in the tech world and the entertainment industry to shut down and prosecute those who distribute content illegally.
Here are a couple of videos which explain the potential impact of PIPA and SOPA.
Future Belongs to the Curious
The future belongs to the curious. The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it, question it and turn it inside out. – Skillshare
Skillshare is an innovative community that is driven by the idea that everyone has something to learn and something to teach. Their website has a huge variety of classes in major cities that people can take to learn something new. Definitely worth checking out if you live in a major US city.
Reflecting on 2011 from Google
There is power in reflecting on the past, especially when it is combined with images, video and music. Here is Google's look back at 2011.
Prophetic Innovation
I feel like a close friend has died and those I want to mourn with are far away. Upon hearing of the death of Steve Jobs, my heart sunk. The world will not be the same for quite a while. For me it seems like a personal loss even though I never met Steve Jobs.
For two and a half years I had the awesome opportunity to sit under Steve Jobs' leadership and enrich lives in an Apple Retail Store. From the very beginning we were told that we were involved in changing the world and making a difference in people's lives through technology. Working at an Apple Store was a special experience. A family was formed. Now that our leader has passed away I feel far away from my family members who I want to mourn with. But thankfully the devices that Steve designed help me feel closer.
In Apple Retail we were not just selling cold pieces of technology. We had the joy of seeing Steve's products connect people together and enrich the lives of those who purchased them. I could tell story upon story of customers who purchased a Mac or an iDevice and how those devices connected them to their family and friends in very real ways.
What did Steve Jobs have that sets him apart from other innovators and CEO's? I believe Steve Jobs had what I call "prophetic innovation." He knew what we wanted before we could even articulate it. Whether it was the Apple II, the iPhone or the iPad he prophetically knew what people would want and designed it for them. He saw a future and designed technology for that future. I love selling products because I know that when people go home and plug them in, they will be hooked. The products sell themselves.
I think Apple will weather this sad loss in stride. Apple is very good at developing new leaders and encouraging leaders to train up a "bench" of talent to step up when there is a transition. Apple is much different than it was in 1985 when Steve left Apple for the first time. Steve has raised up other prophetic innovators to take the torch and run with it. But the world will never quite be the same without Steve Jobs.
We miss you already Steve.
Protecting Your Family Online
Last night we concluded our series of seminars on technology and the faith with a session titled "Protecting Your Family Online." I believe that the church needs to be actively informing families about the benefits and dangers of technology. Technology can enhance family connections but it can also destroy them.
Here are some resources for parents on how to set healthy boundaries with the internet and protect your children:

Moorland at Legends Resort Named Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association Course of the Year
The Moorland Course at Legends Resort has been named Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association Course of the Year.
The MBAGCOA evaluates Golf Course of the Year nominees on four criteria: exceptional quality of the golf course, exceptional quality of the ownership and management, outstanding contribution to the community, and significant contribution to the game. By virtue of winning the award, Moorland becomes a candidate for state and potentially national honors. ??
"Congratulations to Moorland and Legends Resorts on being voted Course of the Year, one of the area's highest honors," said Tracy Conner, Executive Director of the Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association. "Moorland is one of Myrtle Beach's best and most popular courses, and Legends has always been at the forefront of the area's grow the game and charitable initiatives."
??A 4.5-star course, according to Golf Digest's prestigious Best Places to Play Guide, Moorland has long been one of the area's most critically acclaimed and challenging designs. Architect P.B. Dye utilized waste bunkers, pot bunkers, water and significant elevation change to create a layout that is both visually stunning and enjoyable to play. Moorland has been ranked among America's 50 toughest courses by Golf Digest and players have embraced the challenge.
Along with its sister courses at Legends Resort - Heathland and Parkland, Moorland is owned and operated by Arnold Palmer Golf Management and has been instrumental in raising money for local charities. Legends donated hundreds of rounds of golf valued at more than $30,000 that benefitted the likes of the Alzheimer's Association, Habitat for Humanity and Toys for Tots, among many others, in 2013.
Additionally, Moorland and Legends offers complimentary instructional clinics twice a week, allows kids to play for free, and is the host facility for the First Tee of Myrtle Beach and Golf Academy of America.
Moorland was named one of the "Top 5 New Courses in America" by Golf Digest upon its opening, beginning a stream of honors that still continues. Most recently, Moorland was No. 6 on Golfweek's list of the "Best Courses You Can Play" in South Carolina, a ranking of the Palmetto state's premier public courses.
Moorland succeeds the Dye Club as the MBAGCOA Course of the Year. ??The National Golf Course Owners Association implemented the award in 1996 and the MBAGCOA has since nominated courses from the Myrtle Beach area. Past recipients of the award include Dye Club (2013), Dunes Club (2012), Founders Club (2011), Sandpiper Bay (2010) Shaftesbury Glen (2009), Grande Dunes (2008), Wachesaw Plantation East (2007), Burning Ridge (2006), TPC of Myrtle Beach (2005), Indian Wells Golf Club (2004), World Tour Golf Links (2003), Wild Wing Plantation (2002), Blackmoor (2001), Tradition Golf Club (2000), Bay Tree Golf Plantation (1999), Arrowhead Country Club (1998) and Myrtle Beach National's King's North (1996). Five of the Myrtle Beach regional winners - Burning Ridge, TPC, Wild Wing, Tradition, Arrowhead and King's North - also captured the state award. World Tour was named as the national "Golf Course of the Year."

Have you ever sat down to a gourmet meal and wondered how on earth a person could make such a delightful dish? You will be able to improve your cooking skills after reading this article.
Make sure that all your preparation is done prior to cooking. You'll be glad you have your prep work done when it's time to cook. That way, when you're ready to cook, it takes some of the stress out of it, especially if you have a deadline to meet. If all of the prep work is completed well before the actual cooking begins, this will help alleviate some stress later.
It is extremely important to prepare your ingredients before you begin cooking your meal for a group. Ensure that you aren't missing important ingredients before you start cooking. Get everything set to cook the next day. Determine if you have you got the right utensils, etc. This means you don't have to worry when time is short, which means your cooking will be better.
It's very important to have good, sharp knives for cooking. Dull knives not only are ineffective, but they're also dangerous! With a dull knife it is easy to slip and cut yourself because it is harder to slice the food, but a knife that is sharp makes much smoother cuts.
Potatoes Soak
Let raw potatoes soak in some cold water for a half hour prior to frying them to increase the crispiness of French fries. When your potatoes soak up cold fluids, their fibers are reinforced. This means that they will hold up better to the heat necessary for the frying process.
Burgers will often stick to a grill. Once they are stuck it can be very difficult to get them off of the grill and have them still maintain their shape. To avoid this possibility, you can apply a light coat of vegetable oil to the grill before cooking.
Chicken Stock
When preparing chicken stock, make a large amount. Instead of making just what you need, make a huge pot so you have some to freeze and use later. That tasty chicken stock is very versatile and can be perfect for your next stew, casserole or soup. Make certain the stock is cooled, and then you can portion it into heavyweight Ziploc freezer bags and place in the freezer.
The ideal way to cook a pumpkin is to first place the pumpkin upright on the cutting surface. Cut the pumpkin in half, then down the middle. Take both halves with the cut sides down and place on different baking sheets to bake. Sprinkle the baking sheets with water, and put the pumpkin in a 350-degree (Fahrenheit) oven for one hour.
If you purchase unripened fruits, place them in a perforated plastic bag. As the fruit becomes ripe, it will emit ethylene gas. If you put them in the bag with holds the air will go through the bag, and the gas will stay in, helping the fruits retain their wonderful taste.
Make sure to put these hints and tips to use. After some practice, your family and friends will want to know how you do it.

Melania Trump Is the Latest Cosmetic Surgery Inspiration
She's beautiful, she's polished and she's becoming one of the most requested faces in plastic surgery today. Following in the footsteps of her fashion-mogul stepdaughter Ivanka, Melania Trump's face is rising in popularity among patients looking for plastic surgery procedures.
"For the past year, we've been seeing an increase in people around the country asking to look more like Ivanka Trump," says Dr. Ryan Mitchell, a plastic surgeon in Henderson, Nevada. "But there's been a slow uptick in people requesting Melania Trump's features, too."
It's easy to understand why women want to look like Trump, with her high cheekbones and strong jaw.
"She was a model, after all," says Mitchell. "Models and celebrities are common inspirations for plastic surgery. But until recently she wasn't a common request."
So why the sudden surge in demand for Trump?
"I think as people see her more often in the news, they have more time to really appreciate the shape of her face, and over time they are becoming more and more enamored with her look," says Mitchell.
"It's actually kind of refreshing in a way, because she [Trump] is not an 18-year-old, she's 47. It just goes to show you that good bone structure is timeless, and it's not all about looking like a teenager anymore. Women want to age gracefully. They don't just want to be Kylie Jenner forever."

When you know, you know! That's how love works. Scrolling through Instagram the other night, I found a scene I recognized and it took my breath away! Love at first sight. If you and I have shared at least one conversation between January 30th of this year and now, you know that I have been talking nonstop about the workshop I attended with 20 other women in Washington state in August.
From the moment I found out that I made it into the workshop (there were over 500 people who applied!), I have been walking in the clouds. I still pinch myself when I think of my good fortune --- like I said, much like being in love.
Check out the article about this magical place that is Floret Flower and you will see, I'm not the only one who's fallen hard...
Yours truly in the bottom left corner with the feeling of this is what I was meant to do!
There I am having the time of my life in this magnificent barn..
The Floret Flower workshop in August of 2015 was a life changing event for me. It was a workshop that was much more than how to arrange flowers in a vase.
I made lifelong friends with like minded folks, completed Strength Finders, talked about contracts and inspiring books and discussed Erin's vision boards from years past. YES, Floret was on my vision board before she catapulted to fame.
I left inspired, knowing I could do anything in the flower world.
Bring it on!

Person of interest in fatal Ranchlands shooting located, not considered a suspect, police say
Olara Obina, seen in the photo below, was found dead in a parked vehicle on the weekend
Calgary police say they have located a person of interest in relation to a fatal shooting in Ranchlands and he is not considered a suspect.
The victim, identified by friends as 29-year-old Olara Obina, was found dead in a parked car in an alley near his home in the northwest community on Saturday afternoon.
Police said Obina was shot sometime early Friday morning in that same alley and they believe it was a targeted attack.
On Sunday, police released the name and photo of a man they were looking to speak with because they believed he may have information relevant to the case.
On Monday, police said they had been in contact with that man.
"At this time this man is not considered a suspect," police said in a release.
A friend told CBC News that Obina's violent death was not a reflection of how he lived or who he was.
An autopsy is expected to be completed on Monday, at which point police said they would formally identify the victim.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or the homicide unit tip line at 403-428-8877.
Tips can also be left anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.calgarycrimestoppers.org.

Wade & Halligan (2004) proposed a change in the social context" or physical context" of the patient for higher effectiveness of health management. For example, the medical intervention for a stroke affected person in a poorer segment of society should not solely think about physiotherapy and hypertension control. The social context of the patient might be modified by proper counseling and training to the entire family on dealing with the incapacity, lack of self-esteem and lack of revenue. The patient may be built-in with the neighborhood assist group for lengthy-term rehabilitation and likewise vocational coaching to learn new abilities for employment. A change in a bodily context may embody altering furnishings arrangement at residence and at the workplace.

text: Withdrawal reflex: The withdrawal reflex (nociceptive or flexor withdrawal reflex) is a spinal reflex intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli. It is polysynaptic, causing stimulation of sensory, association, and motor neurons.Jendrassik maneuver: The Jendrassik maneuver is a medical maneuver wherein the patient clenches the teeth, flexes both sets of fingers into a hook-like form and interlocks those sets of fingers together. The tendon below the patient's knee is then hit with a reflex hammer to elicit the patellar reflex.Primitive reflexes: Primitive reflexes are reflex actions originating in the central nervous system that are exhibited by normal infants, but not neurologically intact adults, in response to particular stimuli. These reflexes are absent due to the development of the frontal lobes as a child transitions normally into child development.Acoustic reflex: The acoustic reflex (also known as the stapedius reflex, middle-ear-muscles (MEM) reflex, attenuation reflex, or auditory reflex) is an involuntary muscle contraction that occurs in the middle ear in response to high-intensity sound stimuli or when the person starts to vocalize.Vision in fishes: Vision is an important sensory system for most species of fish. Fish eyes are similar to terrestrial vertebrates like birds and mammals, but have a more spherical lens.Task-invoked pupillary responseAging movement control: Normal aging movement control in humans is about the changes on the muscles, motor neurons, nerves, sensory functions, gait, fatigue, visual and manual responses, in men and women as they get older but who do not have neurological, muscular (atrophy, dystrophy...) or neuromuscular disorder.DecerebrationPhilip Hoffman (surfing): Philip Rube "Flippy" Hoffman (January 24, 1930 – November 10, 2010) was a legendary big wave surfing pioneer and businessman.List of reflexes (by organ): This is a list of reflexes by organ:Baroreceptor: Baroreceptors (or archaically, pressoreceptors or baroceptors) are sensors located in the blood vessels of all vertebrate animals. They sense the blood pressure and relay the information to the brain, so that a proper blood pressure can be maintained.Status migrainosus: Status Migrainosus, also known as Status Migraine, Intractable Migraine and Pernicious Migraine is defined as a severe migraine headache without aura, lasting longer than 72 hours and is classified as a complication of a migraine. There are about 100 million people with headaches in the U.Abdominal reflex: An abdominal reflex is a superficial neurological reflex stimulated by stroking of the abdomen around the umbilicus. It can be helpful in determining the level of lesion in a neurology case.Cats in the United States: Many different species of mammal can be classified as cats (felids) in the United States. These include domestic cat (both house cats and feral), of the species Felis catus; medium-sized wild cats from the genus Lynx; and big cats from the genera Puma and Panthera.Cortical stimulation mapping: Cortical stimulation mapping (often shortened to CSM) is a type of electrocorticography that involves a physically invasive procedure and aims to localize the function of specific brain regions through direct electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex. It remains one of the earliest methods of analyzing the brain and has allowed researchers to study the relationship between cortical structure and systemic function.Pharyngeal reflex: The pharyngeal reflex or gag reflex (also known as a laryngeal spasm) is a reflex contraction of the back of the throat, evoked by touching the roof of the mouth, the back of the tongue, the area around the tonsils and the back of the throat. It, along with other aero digestive reflexes such as reflexive pharyngeal swallowing, prevents something from entering the throat except as part of normal swallowing and helps prevent choking.Photosensitive epilepsy: Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) is a form of epilepsy in which seizures are triggered by visual stimuli that form patterns in time or space, such as flashing lights, bold, regular patterns, or regular moving patterns.Cephalic phase: The cephalic phase of gastric secretion occurs even before food enters the stomach, especially while it is being eaten. It results from the sight, smell, thought, or taste of food, and the greater the appetite, the more intense is the stimulation.Mechanosensation: Mechanosensation is a response mechanism to mechanical stimuli. The physiological foundation for the senses of touch, hearing and balance, and pain is the conversion of mechanical stimuli into neuronal signals: mechanosensation.Renshaw cell: Renshaw cells are inhibitory interneurons found in the gray matter of the spinal cord, and are associated in two ways with an alpha motor neuron.PhentolamineBaroreflex: The baroreflex or baroreceptor reflex is one of the body's homeostatic mechanisms that helps to maintain blood pressure at nearly constant levels. The baroreflex provides a rapid negative feedback loop in which an elevated blood pressure reflexively causes the heart rate to decrease and also causes blood pressure to decrease.Muscle contraction: Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers. In physiology, muscle contraction does not mean muscle shortening because muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length such as holding a heavy book or a dumbbell at the same position.Interbeat interval: Interbeat interval is a scientific term used in the study of the mammalian heart.Carotid sinus: In human anatomy, the carotid sinus (or carotid bulb) is a dilated area at the base of the internal carotid just superior to the bifurcation of the common carotid at the level of the superior border of thyroid cartilage. The carotid sinus is sensitive to pressure changes in the arterial blood at this level.Trigeminovascular system: The trigeminovascular system consists of neurons in the trigeminal nerve that innervate cerebral blood vessels. It has been hypothesized that the trigeminovascular system may be involved in some types of headaches.Neuromere: Neuromeres are morphologically or molecularly defined transient segments of the early developing brain. Rhombomeres are such segments that make up the rhombencephalon or hindbrain.Urination: Urination is the release of urine from the urinary bladder through the urethra to the urinary meatus outside of the body.

The collapse of the EU and the Russian-German condominium …
… over the rest of Europe – Published on Current Concerns, by Professor Dr Albert A. Stahel, Institut für Strategische Studien, July 23, 2012. (Translation Current Concerns).
At present the EU is politically shaken by the financial and economic crises in the southern European countries, so Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Burdened by high debt these countries face at the same time a recession in their economies. Two different economic schools with opposing solutions for modernization and growth are proposed to these countries.
While Milton Friedman's Chicago School is postulating a fiscal policy that is aimed at economizing, the Keynesian school provides for economic policies that stimulate an economy through government spending. German economists in particular are considered the representatives of the Chicago School in Europe. Due to their advice, the Merkel government demands unyielding fiscal austerity from the southern Europeans. Under no circumstances should the EU finance the bankrupt southern Europeans. According to this fiscal policy school this would lead to inflation loaded on the Germans' backs. Merkel knows very well that Germany till now has benefited from the economic imbalance in the EU at the expense of the southern Europeans. While Germany can repeatedly go into new debts cost-free, the southern Europeans pay exorbitant interest on their debts.
Merkel is confronted with the French President, Hollande, who is more likely to tend towards the Keynesian school. With euro bonds, i.e. government loans throughout the euro zone, the southern Europeans may borrow money from the market at the same interest rates as the Germans. The introduction of euro bonds is blocked by the Chancellor.
The result of the Merkel dictate, which almost resembles blackmailing, is jointly responsible for the recession in Southern Europe. While in Greece state employees are laid off in droves, the Greek economy is getting into the red. Spain and Portugal, and possibly Italy face similar developments. The consequences are foreseeable. Populist parties will take over the power in these states and resist the Berlin dictate. In the medium to long term we may face armed riots in southern Europe, which could in turn trigger migration towards Central Europe. Such a development would not only mean the end of the euro, but could also lead to the disintegration of the EU and the rise of organized crime in Europe.
While the EU and its member states are confronted with the described problems, the US military is withdrawing from Europe. Also because of this two pointless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Washington is struggling now with fiscal deficits … //
… Eurasian Union:
Under the condition that the German-Russian condominium over the rest of Europe (Scenario 1) came into existence and that China could block the power of the USA in the Western Pacific (scenario 2), Putin's Russia might want to extend the former nucleus of the Eurasian Union both on China and on Europe dominated by Germany. In a first step this could mean a better economic and political cooperation between the energy and production powers of Eurasia. An important basis is the current expansion of the Silk Road as a trade link between Germany and China. It is also conceivable that especially China wants to pursue a political union of Eurasia in a second step. The partners of China may not consider such a union a desirable step given the size of the Chinese population. However, Eurasia and its union may develop; such an economic union alone would mean the end of American hege-mony over the world.
Wars in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf:
If the indicated decay of US power in Scenarios 1 and 2 accelerated in the foreseeable future, a coalition among the Iranian opponents Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Israel would emerge due to the power vacuum and power demands of Iran over the Persian Gulf – Iraq, western Afghanistan. One such move would definitely destabilize the region. If Israel had then not launched an air strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, the situation would then be reached in which Israel would launch a nuclear strike against Iran. It is also conceivable that in such a situation Saudi Arabia and Turkey would acquire their own nuclear weapons. It may also happen that a nuclear proliferation would even lead to a stabilization of the region. Until this point was reached an uninterrupted series of wars would have to be expected, in particular between Iran and Saudi Arabia and Iran and Turkey. Determined by the goal of power adjustment, these wars would have some similarities with the centuries of struggle between Byzantium and the Sassanid Empire. These wars are likely to lead to the final exodus of Christians from the region.

There has been one very big change since digital photography became popular in the last decade. With film photography there wasn't very much that could be done after the image had been captured apart form a little local adjustment during printing.
Now photographers spend more time on post production than they do on an actual shoot. Good photographers are always conscientious about getting the best out of their images. A £1000 wedding package can involve four days work. Rather longer than the four hours that they are seen to be working at the ceremony and reception. This is how the time would be spent:-
Initial journey to talk to the couple to get the job. Often I drive 40miles (round trip) to where the bride lives. On a few occasions the Bride visits me but it still takes about 2 hours
2 hours
Look around the wedding venues. Most couples expect this.
3 hours plus mileage.
Actual wedding day. We are usually at the Bride's house one hour before the ceremony and stay until the reception. Most weddings are on Saturdays or bank holidays when people who work expect to be paid extra as does my assistant.
4 hours plus mileage
+4 hours assistant time
Sophisticated digital upload isn't just a matter of pushing a switch. Each picture has to be opened and looked at individually. Any bad pictures are thrown out. Each picture is then hand cropped to fit the image. No machine can do this automatcally very well. The pictures are then uploaded. About 200 pictures are used from up to 500 pictures actually taken. They all have to look reasonable on the website even though they are actually only the proofs.
8 hours
Usually the couple comes to see me to sort out the pictures they want for their about. This takes a couple of hours.
2 hours
Once the choice of album images has been made further improvements are done to most of the chosen photos. This is where Photoshop work really starts.
16 hours
The pictures have to printed and stuck into an album and delivered to the couple, or I have to be available when they collect it.
2 hours
41 working hours Total
Photoshop is a remarkable tool that has raised peoples expectations of photography. Its no longer acceptable to offer clients photographs that could be improved. Its now possible to remove overhead power lines, and the ' no parking' notices that clutter our streets. The list of expected improvements is endless. It is easy for me to spent two working days on cleaning up outdoor shots.
Clients often do not understand that its very consuming and everything cannot be done. You can erase a bird flying in front of a person's face. But you cannot invent a face to fill up the hole then left by that bird!
If you add all of this time up you can see that its well in excess of the the frequently alleged time that the photographer was seen taking photos at the actual wedding . Its much the same situation with portrait shoots whether on location or in my studio.
Unfortunately the small picture size that the blog size allows makes it difficult to see a lot of small change in the before and after pictures used to illustrate this blog. The original photograph taken at the bride's house before the wedding. Some of our best pictures are done at this time before the wedding ceremony.
The edited image that has been cropped closer to remove distractive elements, the curtains diffused, the bedhead has been completely removed, and the colour temperature has been warmed slightly. All of the near white detail is retained in the brides dress.

Last week we mentioned the utility scam phone calls that are being made. The scammers are still busy trying to fool people. Sherri Bailey of the City of Washington reported city power customers receiving the annoying phone calls. She posted this reminder on the city's Facebook page. "Warning: If you receive a call from someone saying your power will be cut off today if you don't pay them over the phone, it is a scam! A citizen just received such a call. This scam has been going around for a while and all utility providers have been targeted. The City of Washington cuts off on the 4th of the month and we never cut off on weekends. Always be leery of anyone requesting a payment over the phone. Always call your utility provider if you ever receive a call you suspect of being a scam." And make sure you report it to the Wilkes County Sheriff's Office.
A recent Facebook post of puns and funny captions on a street-side sign caught our attention. Our son-in-law loves puns, much to our daughter's aggravation. When the post appeared we immediately thought of Mitchell. We are including a few for those of you who may not have Facebook accounts and would also enjoy them.
"The man who fell into an upholstery machine is fully recovered."
"Past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense."
"A bike in town keeps running me over. It's a vicious cycle."
"IS2A3F4E5T6Y7 Safety in numbers."
"I before E except after C disproved by science."
"Research shows that 6 out of 7 dwarves aren't Happy."
There are more, but we will save those for another time. Or should we say, "another thyme?" . SmartAsset.com emailed us some information about a study they conducted saying, "Some counties deliver a greater return on residents' property taxes than others. A study by financial technology company SmartAsset compares counties across the U.S., measuring local crime rates and school quality relative to effective property tax rates. Wilkes County ranked among the best in Georgia for value compared to taxes paid." According to the study Wilkes County ranks #2 in the state of Georgia (behind Chattahoochee at #1) and 51st nationally. Now we aren't mathematicians, analysts, or statisticians, but they explain their methodology on the website for those who want to learn more.

Reese Smith will have his lemonade and peanut stand open on Hwy. 78 this Saturday, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. The update on the Reese's Friends Facebook page announced a whopping total of $4200 raised the first week after the opening home game at UGA! An account at F&M Bank is also set up to take donations for Reese's Friends. We can't wait to see how much he raises after this second Georgia home game. He is a social media celebrity and we know this is only the beginning of big things for this little guy! We all love Reese! We remember when he was a tiny little thing, a patient at the Children's Hospital of Georgia, and we had a photo of Reese sporting a green John Deere outfit tacked to the office wall as a reminder to pray for him each day. This community's prayers for that sweet baby boy have been answered. And now he is trying to raise funds so that other children in need of the hospital's services can be given that same gift of health. What an awe-inspiring soul he is! We can certainly all learn a thing or two from him.

WANTED: Yellow jacket nest. Will remove from your yard, garden, or walk without any charge to you. Just call 46. This is interesting on a couple of levels. First…only two digits to phone numbers 75 year ago? And second…why look for a yellow jacket nest?…unless you are a Bulldog fan looking to play a joke on a Georgia Tech fan! We wonder if anyone responded to the classified ad. – KB The Woman's Club was the scene of an impromptu dance Tuesday evening, given for an advance party of a Tank Destroyer Battalion, who were en route to Camp Gordon after maneuvers in Tennessee, and camped overnight on C.D.

The Tigers lost the season opener with Lincolnton 7-0, despite gaining more yards on the ground and in the air. See below – KB
And from that same issue we find this…
The Tigers lost the opener to Lincoln County 8-0. The loss to Lincoln was a disappointment to one of the largest crowds of Tiger fans in recent games, but the game did follow form. The Tigers played well against a truly fine opponent. They gave it all they had. They will win their share of games. Unfortunately, their share this year did not include Lincoln County. So 50 years ago and 25 years ago the Lincolnton team won. This season the Tigers will face the Red Devils in Lincolnton on September 28. Let's get a win! – KB
A Washington truck driver became the third Georgia Millionaire Lottery winner Saturday, September 4, in a drawing at Columbus, but he says it won't change him. One of five finalists over the state, Virgil "Buddy" Price, 38, will receive $1,000 a week for the rest of his life, with a guaranteed minimum of $1 million. Asked how he intends to use the money, Price showed he has his head on straight. "I'm going to pay all my bills, fix up my house, and put back enough for my sons' education."
The third light pole was dedicated this week on The Square by the Downtown Development Authority.

Formaldressaustralia makes some really beautiful quality dresses, I am a big fan and will return to buy more in the future.
I love this dress. I ordered it a little smaller because the reviews said it ran big in the top. Mine is a little to small but I wanted to loose a few pounds before wearing it. I think the dress is beautiful and I am excited to wear it.
Normally I don't write reviews, but I know how hard it it's to buy clothes online, specially party gowns. This dress fit so beautiful. I bought the red color for a business party. Now, down to details, the dress is a little loose on the top, nothing that will fall though, I can fix it easily. I recommend you go with the measurements in the picture. lol, everything looks beautiful and slimming, perfect lenght as well. I will definetly look for this brand in the future.

Not only did it fit perfect it looked like it cost a lot of money. This is not just a prom dress it is a dress anyone any age would look nice in. My one problem was the package that the dress came in was much too large. However I still loved this dress and will buy from this company again.

Sorts of Industrial Air Compressor
There are three noteworthy sorts of modern air blower in light of the strategy for your task. These are responding blowers, revolving screw blowers and diffusive blowers.
Responding blowers are sure removal blowers, where air is diminished in volume to expand its weight. Responding contain directs driven by cylinders with a barrel packing and uprooting the air. There are two composes, coordinate drive blowers and belt drive blowers. Belt drive blowers are more strong and ready to convey higher weights. Responding blowers are accessible in single stage and multi organize. Multi organize blowers convey higher weights and are more effective, which means bring down power utilization and lower costs. Responding blowers are regularly convenient and reasonable for exchanges individuals associated with development and comparable fields.
Revolving Screw
Revolving screw air blowers likewise work by a positive relocation process. They utilize two helical screws fit together to drive air through and pack it. The strategy for this task is a smoother procedure than that of cylinders, with less surges and vibration than that occasionally found in responding blowers. They are sturdy and simple to keep up. Revolving screw air blowers for the most part have more noteworthy limits than responding blowers and can convey higher gaseous tensions. A few sorts have variable speed drives implying that wind stream and weight can be firmly controlled, and where wind current necessities are variable this can bring about huge vitality investment funds. Rotating screw air blowers have different applications, discovering use in regions, for example, building locales, plants and healing facilities.
Radiating air blowers work by an alternate instrument. They utilize the force picked up from a pivoting plate to exchange and pressurize air. This procedure is known as unique uprooting and is a constant procedure, bringing about a consistent supply of pressurized air. They can convey to a great degree high weights. Anyway the technique additionally requires higher paces and higher air limits than different blowers. The limit and wind stream can be controlled by method for delta manage vanes. Divergent blowers have numerous applications, and are utilized for apparatus, for example, pneumatic drills and car superchargers and turbochargers, and in addition for aerating and cooling and refrigeration. They are additionally found in gas turbines, gas pipelines, oil refineries, petrochemical plants and synthetic plants. One HVAC company uses these for cleaning dirt and debris from industrial air conditioning units. They advised a West Chester AC repair client who had a large roof unit to schedule regular "blowouts" on their entire unit. The old saying an ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure really applies to these situations.

Less than eight months after opening fine-diner Eleven Bridge (formerly Rockpool Est. 1989) restaurateur Neil Perry has announced its imminent closure.
The restaurant was Perry's last independent venture after the announcement in November last year that Rockpool Bar & Grill, Rosetta, Spice Temple and Burger Project were being sold to Urban Purveyor Group (UPG) to create a new company, the Rockpool Dining Group. Perry's role with the new group is head of culinary. RDG also owns Fratelli Fresh, Sakè Restaurant and Bar and Bavarian Beer Cafe.
Before Eleven Bridge closes in May, executive chef Phil Wood will present tasting menus of classic dishes from Eleven Bridge and Rockpool Est. 1989 in celebration of the restaurants' 28-year history.
"The team is really excited about going out on such a high by creating all the great dishes, past and present," said Perry. "Rockpool Dining Group operates a tight-knit family of quality restaurants and great brands with maximum efficiency and it makes sense to operate the Eleven Bridge site within this portfolio, rather than as a standalone restaurant."
After it closed in August 2016, Rockpool Est. 1989 was reincarnated as Eleven Bridge and was well received. Chef Wood, who has been with the venue since 2009, confirmed he will leave the company when Elven Bridge closes. "It's been an absolute pleasure and honour to add to the legend of an iconic restaurant in Australia," Wood says. "It's been an incredible journey and I'll treasure all the awards we've won together. After eight years, it's time for me to seek a new challenge and broaden my career."
Eleven Bridge will host a final dinner service on Saturday May 13, after which the CBD site will be overhauled for a new venture that will focus on Cantonese cuisine.
More information about the new concept will be announced in the coming months.

The following statement by Focus on the Family is typical of that traditional view of the subject:
"As an evangelical Christian ministry committed to the authority of Scripture as the inspired Word of God, Focus on the Family believes that sex is given by God as an expression of love to be shared and enjoyed exclusively between a husband and wife. Further, we are convinced that the Bible leaves no room whatsoever for confusion or ambiguity where homosexual behavior is concerned. The Scripture both explicitly and implicitly regards it as falling outside of God's intention in creating man and woman as sexual beings who bear His image as male and female."
-- https://www.focusonthefamily.com
Well, that seems like a fairly straightforward statement of belief about what Scripture teaches on the subject, but I hope that the promulgators of that statement won't mind if we take our own look at what is explicitly or implicitly taught in Scripture. After all, if we are truly seeking to know God's will on the matter (as revealed in the pages of the Bible), then we shouldn't mind a thorough and impartial review of what that collection of documents has to say about it.
First of all, I think that we would find wide agreement among students of the Bible that the appropriate place to begin this study is in Genesis. In the account of creation related there, we are told that "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them." (Genesis 1:27)
As we look at this verse, several questions come to mind: Isn't this an explicit statement that both men and women were/are created in God's image? Doesn't that imply that both genders reflect God's persona? Does this story suggest that God has characteristics that we associate with both genders? In other words, is God masculine and feminine - strong and tender? And, if so, does that preclude the male gender from having any characteristics that would "normally" be associated with the female one (and vice versa)?
In the following chapter, we are told that God observed that it wasn't good for the man to be alone and decided to make a suitable companion for him. (Genesis 2:18) The author goes on to inform us that God created many different kinds of animals and brought them to Adam "to see what he would call them." (verse 19) Alas, however, we are informed that no suitable companion for the man was found among the animals. (verse 20)
As a consequence, we learn that God decided to create a woman for Adam. (verses 21-22) In other words, the solution to Adam's loneliness was another human being. Moreover, this other human being was taken from him - was literally and figuratively a part of him. (verse 23) The story concludes with the author drawing this conclusion: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (verse 24)
Once again, in analyzing and interpreting the meaning of these verses, several questions come to mind: Was this story intended to explain the phenomenon of marriage? Is the story an explicit statement about suitable human companionship? Does the story suggest/imply that man is made whole when he is reunited with that which was taken from him? or Does it imply that it is the humanity which they share that makes them suitable companions for each other? Does the story suggest that the physical act of sex makes two people one in God's sight? Is gender the critical component of the story? or Is it the fact that two individuals unite to form one? And, if gender is an essential component of the story, does that mean that it is OK for homosexuals to be alone? If so, doesn't that contradict God's original observation that it wasn't good for man to be alone? And, if this story is an explicit statement about God's view of marriage, doesn't that mean that a person is married in God's sight when he/she 1) leaves his/her parents' home, 2) commits to living with his/her spouse, and 3) engages in sexual intercourse with that person? or Does this scripture only apply to males?
It should also be noted that Jesus Christ is reported to have quoted this particular passage in his answer to a question from the Pharisees about divorce. (Matthew 19, Mark 10 and Luke 18) In that connection, it is interesting to note that Christ emphasized the fact that two people figuratively become one person as the reason that it is impossible for humans to dissolve a marriage. In other words, how can one person become two separate individuals?
Of course, my friends on the more traditional side of this question will argue that this story implies that marriage should be defined as one man and one woman. However, if that is truly what this story is suggesting, then we are faced with explaining a number of subsequent passages about marriage. In short, what are we to do with all of the scriptures which imply or explicitly talk about plural marriages? Doesn't Moses' prohibition of a man bedding/marrying both a woman and her mother or sister imply that polygamy was practiced by the Israelites? (see Leviticus 18:17-18) What about Jacob's, David's and Solomon's multiple marriages? (see Genesis 29 and 30, I Kings 11 and I Chronicles 3) And, what about Christ's parable about the ten virgins? (see Matthew 25)
Sure, we can say that God only tolerated this practice (polygamy), and that it did not represent "His" original intent for the institution. Even so, it does make us wonder what else God might be willing to tolerate for the sake of "His" people? After all, Jesus reportedly told the Pharisees that Moses had been permitted to included a provision for divorce in the law "because of the hardness of your hearts." (Matthew 19:8) Hence, while most of us would agree that the weight of scriptural evidence available to us strongly implies that God favors monogamy, it is also clear that polygamy was considered to be an acceptable practice among the ancient Hebrews.
Now we come to what my friends on the more traditional side of this question would say is the most compelling reason for characterizing gay marriage as illegitimate from a biblical perspective: The fact that there are numerous explicit condemnations of homosexual behavior in the Judeo-Christian scriptures. They would point to Genesis 19 (Sodom and Gomorrah), Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, Deuteronomy 23:17, I Kings 14:24, 15:12 and 22:46, II Kings 23:7, Romans 1:26-27 and I Corinthians 6:9. That's an impressive list, but the next question is obvious: Is it accurate to portray these passages as explicitly condemning homosexual behavior?
Most biblical scholars would characterize Genesis 19 as a story about a complete moral breakdown amongst the people of these two cities. Also, the story fits into the recognized genre of stories dealing with failed hospitality that are found in numerous places in the Bible. Finally, the story is quite explicit in its account of an attempt by the men of the city to gang rape two angels - something that most theologians would have no trouble condemning. It is, however, neither implied or explicitly stated anywhere in this story that these cities were destroyed because of homosexuality.
The passages in Leviticus are very interesting in terms of the context in which they find themselves in relation to other laws. First of all, homosexuality is a modern notion - a concept that was unknown to the people of ancient Israel and the authors of these passages. These two scriptures clearly deal with sex between two men and are also clearly related to that society's notions about sex.
To the people of ancient Israel, a woman was "humbled" by a man when he had sexual intercourse with her. Thus, the notion that a man could be so "humbled" by another man was abhorrent to them.
It is also interesting to note that many of the other prohibitions which surround these two passages are no longer considered applicable in modern society (e.g. instructions pertaining to planting crops, wearing clothing and getting tattoos). Hence, one is forced to ask: Do these passages reflect eternal spiritual principles or the societal norms of a people who lived three thousand years ago?
Likewise, a quick glance at Strong's Concordance (Blue Letter Bible - https://www.blueletterbible.org) would reveal that the scriptures in Deuteronomy and I and II Kings are dealing with male temple prostitution (another feature of life in the ancient Middle East). Check it out for yourself. Ask anyone who is knowledgeable about ancient Hebrew and the history of the people who used it. None of these passages state or imply anything approaching a blanket condemnation of homosexual behavior. Moreover, once again, most Judeo-Christian theologians would not have any problem condemning any kind of prostitution - especially any manifestation of that practice that also involved idolatry.
As for the passages from Paul's letters to the saints at Rome and Corinth, we must again look at the context - both within scripture and the times in which they were written. In his letter to the Romans, it is important to understand that Paul was speaking to them about Gentile failure to acknowledge God. This, he said, had led God to abandon them to their lusts. (1:24) People who sincerely wish to understand this passage would do well to read the entire chapter to get the proper context to the reference about same sex behavior. Likewise, the passage from I Corinthians involves a general condemnation of unrighteousness and lists numerous behaviors which would disqualify an individual from inheriting the kingdom of God.
And, before we move off of the subject of Paul's comments, we should note that what comes naturally to a heterosexual does not come naturally to a homosexual. If one is not attracted to a female, that person's perspective on the "natural use" of a female would be very different from someone who was attracted to that gender. Are the advocates of the traditional Judeo-Christian view of this subject suggesting that homosexuals should deny what is natural to them?
Finally, we would all do well to remember that Paul was not averse to giving his own opinions about social norms (appropriate dress, hair length and the role of women). Is it reasonable to assume that his views on these subject were unaffected by having lived in the Jewish society extant in the First Century? Does anyone truly believe that Paul's views on these topics reflect God's views, and that they are applicable to life in 21st Century America?
What about the apostle's views on the institution of marriage? He wrote to the Corinthians that it would be "good for a man not to touch a woman." (I Corinthians 7:1) Nevertheless, to avoid sexual sin, he said that it would be better to marry. (verse 2) He then went on to say that married people were obligated to have sexual intercourse with each other on a regular basis so as to avoid the temptation to have sex with other people. (verses 3-5) Paul went on to say that he wished everyone could be celibate - like him (verse 7-8), but he generously concludes his comments with: "But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn." (verse 9) Does that mean that it is better for homosexuals to burn? Thankfully, Paul interjected into his commentary on marriage that he was speaking "by permission, and not of commandment." (verse 6)
To this student of the Bible, the "bottom line" on God's view of things sexual appears to be contained in the fundamental law known as the Ten Commandments. It is there that we read "Thou shalt not commit adultery." (Exodus 20:14) Does this instruction against infidelity only apply to heterosexuals? or Does God also expect homosexuals to be faithful in their commitments to other people?
In the book of Hebrews, we read that "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whore-mongers and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4) Does that mean all heterosexuals? Are homosexuals excluded from the "all" in this verse? And, if they are excluded, doesn't that constitute a catch-22 situation for them? or Do advocates of the traditional view expect homosexuals to deny their own natures and marry someone of the opposite sex anyway? If so, how fair would that be to the individual they end up marrying?
Is marriage (and the sexual intimacy which is a natural part of it) the melding of two individuals into one? Does the institution of marriage provide a suitable companion/partner so that an individual doesn't have to navigate this life alone? or Was marriage instituted solely for the purpose of procreation? And, if so, why do some heterosexual marriages/relationships remain childless?
Hence, to say that the Bible explicitly or implicitly labels homosexual marriage as a sin is not supported by a thorough review of those scriptures which touch on the subject. In fact, I would say that the weight of the evidence demands the same standards of commitment and fidelity which are expected of heterosexuals - and that includes the institution of marriage.

PLUMAS is using funds raised from a gala it held in February to help University of Maryland students in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program pay for their renewal fees following President Trump's announcement that the program will be phased out in six months.
Political Latinxs United for Movement and Action in Society is partnering with the University of Maryland's undocumented student coordinator to use about $3,000 raised from its Dream Gala to assist students in DACA — a program that allows some undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children to work and study in two-year blocks. — to pay for the $495 renewal fee, said Madelyne Ventura, the student organization's president.
PLUMAS raised about $1,000 from ticket sales and $2,000 from a crowdfunding campaign.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is no longer accepting first-time DACA applications after Trump announced an end to the program on Sept. 5 and called on Congress to provide a replacement. However, those with permits that expire before March 5 can reapply until Oct. 5.
With only a month of warning, this has left some scrambling to put together $495 before the deadline, which can be difficult for those who don't have savings or who are experiencing financial hardship, Ventura said.
"Our communities are in danger right now," said Ventura, a senior mathematics major. "We all know someone who will be affected by this."
DACA has granted nearly 800,000 people temporary legal status since it was created under former President Barack Obama in 2012. As of fall 2016, this university had 113 DACA students.
Ventura said PLUMAS had raised these funds in February to prepare for this kind of possibility.
"We are going to continue fighting for them," she said.
PLUMAS is also providing information to DACA participants about renewal clinics, such as those held in nearby Langley Park on Sept. 16 and Sept. 30 by CASA, an immigration rights advocacy organization.
Laura Bohorquez, this university's undocumented student coordinator, is "providing direct, personalized guidance to impacted students and connecting them to resources inside and outside of the university," university spokeswoman Jessica Jennings wrote in an email.
Bohorquez did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
"Her focus is on direct support to students and prefers not to serve as a spokesperson on this sensitive topic, so our office facilitates all media requests for her so that she can remain focused on helping students," Jennings wrote.
This university is providing resources to students reapplying through pro bono legal counsel from volunteer alumni and community members, as well as financial support for application fees from private individuals and organizations, Jennings wrote.
Counseling and informational workshops for undocumented students will also continue to be offered, she added.
María Berbery, a staff psychologist, said some DACA students have come into the Counseling Center following Trump's announcement. The Center considers this an emergency, so students don't have to schedule something in advance to get an appointment, she added.
Berbery said she advises students participating in DACA to focus on "taking care of themselves," to acknowledge any feelings they are experiencing and to reach out to trusted friends or family members.
Other student organizations have also been finding ways they can assist those with DACA.
Jocelyn Nolasco, president of the Latinx Student Union, said the organization is looking to hold informational events to help affected students determine what they should do next.
"It's important that we protect every DACAmented student and undocumented person in any way possible," Nolasco said.
Students can apply to access the Dream Gala funds by filling out an online application, which is limited to this university's students due to limited funds, according to its webpage.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria came out today with only one mission, to redeem their battered image after their embarrassing loss to Croatia and put smiles on the faces of millions of Nigerian football loving fans.
The Nigerian team went into the game as the last team in group D with no point, trailing behind group leaders Croatia who have 6 points after trashing the Argentines yesterday and Argentina and Iceland with one point each, occupying the second and third positions respectively.
The Eagles needed nothing but a win to stand any realistic chance of qualifying into the second round of the competition and the players who had been so heavily criticised after their last game promised to live up to expectation.
The game started with both teams trying to find their rhythm for the most part of the first half but without making any clear goal threatening chances. As the match went into halftime, the West African giants knew they had only 45 more minutes to do the needful and turn the game to their favour.
The second half resumed with the Super Eagles looking more fired up and soon into the second half on the 49th minutes, Ahmed Musa broke the deadlock with a masterpiece goal after cleverly bringing down a cross by Victor Moses, displacing the Iceland defender before smashing in for the opener.
The Eagles continued to impress and in the 75th minute, Musa again took delivery of a long cross and race past his marker before mesmerising the charging Iceland goalkeeper before slotting in the second in absolute beauty.
Iceland were handed a lifeline in the game with a penalty but they couldn't covert as Iceland's Gylfi Sigurdsson fired the ball wide over the goal post to complete an unlucky evening for the debutants.
Croatia now leads the group with a maximum six points, followed by Nigeria with three points and Iceland and Argentina in 3rd and respectively with one point each but separated by goal difference.
