ASPCA lobbyists have done it again! Last night, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a bill that will make attending a dog fight or cockfight in New York State a misdemeanor offense. The law goes into effect in 30 days.
"Animal fighting is an extremely cruel, but lucrative, underground business," says Debora Bresch, an attorney and Senior Director of ASPCA Government Relations. "This new law will allow law enforcement to pursue and punish the spectators who drive the market for animal fighting, keeping it alive."
Animal fighting is a felony in all 50 states, and most activities relating to it—including training animals to fight and allowing one's property to be used for an animal fight—are also felonies in New York. But up until today, attending a fight was merely a violation punishable only by a small fine.
"Spectators who patronize these barbaric events in New York, cheering and placing bets while two animals fight to the death, deserve to be charged with a crime," adds Bresch.
Congratulations for seeing this bill through to the end, New York animal advocates!
For more information on the ASPCA's efforts to tackle animal fighting, please visit our Blood Sports Section.

What do you call a heart center where the most up-to-date cardiac procedures and open-heart surgeries are performed? Where nationally and internationally recognized physicians provide state-of-the-art surgical and non-surgical care? Where important research and clinical tests are conducted to advance our knowledge of the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease? Where the list of cardiac "firsts" goes back two decades, thanks to outstanding physicians and staff?
You call it by a new name: "The Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital."
The Heart Institute: At the Forefront of Heart Care
Since the 1980s, Bridgeport Hospital has been the site of many regional and statewide "firsts" in cardiac care.
We take pride in these achievements because they demonstrate the expertise of our physicians, and enable us to provide better care: faster diagnoses, more comfortable procedures with fewer side effects, shorter recovery times, and better long-term results. And we at the Heart Institute will not rest on past laurels. Instead, we will stay on the forefront of cardiovascular expertise, continuing to offer the newest and best in cardiac care to our community.

WOONSOCKET – Highway Supt. Rick Lambert was on his way to tend to an emergency boiler problem when he came upon it, tossed unceremoniously to the curb like an ordinary piece of litter, the merriment all but expunged from its branches.
It was a Christmas tree, of course, but the timing was so wrong he had to chuckle.
"It was Christmas morning," Lambert recalled. "They were already done with their Christmas tree. It was out the door."
After investing so much time, energy and money into selecting and decorating a Christmas tree, most families aren't so quick to put them out with the trash. But that's where most of them end up, and when they do, city crews retrieve them, throw them in trucks, and take them someplace very, very special.
It is where Christmas trees go to die.
Or not.
The journey from sidewalk to a normally-vacant lot on East School Street is actually the beginning of a new and useful phase in the life of Christmas trees that land upon city sidewalks during the month of January.
City crews put the trees through wood chippers, collect the material and haul it all to Central Landfill in Johnston, according to Lambert.
Sarah Kite, the director of recycling for the state landfill, operated by the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation, says the site accepts discarded Christmas trees from most of the cities and towns in the state. Unlike Woonsocket's trees, which are pre-chipped to cut down on transportation costs, many arrive whole, but they're all chipped once they get to Central Landfill.
Once they're chipped, the materials aren't stuffed in a big hole in the ground like ordinary household refuse. They're added to leaves, brush and other organic materials the landfill accepts and sets aside so that it can be converted into compost for farmers, gardeners and other agricultural purposes.
Compost is a nice word for organic materials that are essentially left to rot into a kind of dark, loamy mud, but whatever you call it, the end result doesn't happen overnight. As any backyard gardener knows, a good compost pile must be turned from time to time to expose the contents to air. That allows microorganisms and bugs that feed on the materials to thrive so that the process moves along as efficiently as possible.
Because compost is so rich in nutrients plants need to grow, gardeners are often heard referring to it as "black gold," but for RIRRC it's still pretty green, as in the color of cash. The product is sold retail by RIRRC for $30 per cubic yard, though farmers and others who buy in bulk can get wholesale rates, according to Kite.
"It's Class A compost, so it can be used for anything," says Operations Manager Brian Card. "Even your lawn."
Officially, the last day for curbside collection of Christmas trees was Friday, but Lambert says the occasionally straggler will still show up well after Groundhog Day, a few strands of tinsel or an unwanted ornament, perhaps, dangling from its withered boughs.
Including the scores of trees collected by Woonsocket, RIRRC will take in an estimated 625 tons of discarded Scotch Pines, Douglas Firs, Blue Spruce and other species most favored for Christmas trees.
That might sound like a lot of trees, but it's just an infinitesimally tiny fraction of the roughly 30 million Christmas trees that are sold in the U.S. every year, according to the American Christmas Tree Association. Figures for 2012 are hard to come by yet, but ACTA says Americans bought 33 million trees in 2011 at a cost of about $1.07 billion.
Though fake trees are said to be doing better than they used to, in part because some people think they're an environmentally-friendlier choice, they still lag behind Mother Nature's own. Just 9.5 million artificial trees were sold in 2011 at a cost of $670 million.
Kite says the ability to repurpose real trees as compost seems to support the theory that they are an environmentally wiser choice than fakes at the holiday season, but it's probably not the last word on the subject.
"Like most issues, there are pros and cons on both sides of this one, too," she says. "It's not black and white."

Recipe by SUE CASE
"I am continuously asked to bring this dip for parties and family get-togethers. People gather around the platter until it's gone."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (1 ounce) package
taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) can
refried beans
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
1 (16 ounce) container
sour cream
1 (16 ounce) jar
1 large
tomato, chopped
green bell pepper, chopped
1 bunch
chopped green onions
1 small head
iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 (6 ounce) can
sliced black olives, drained
2 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese
I make a recipe very similar to this. I do not use lettuce (as it tends to wilt as it sits out) and I don't use green pepper. Even though I love green pepper, I don't feel it belongs in this recipe (just my opinion). I make homemade guacamole and put that layer on top of the sour cream/cream cheese layer. I found a good guac recipe on this site (LuvAnn's Guacamole) that I use. They always "lick the platter clean" every single time. I've NEVER had leftovers. I serve with Tostitos Scoops as they grab the dip more! Oh and this doesnt' totally spread to fit in a 13x9 pan (mostly the beans don't) so I bought a clear pyrex dish a slightly smaller size. This dish has pretty much become my 7-layer dip dish because it's requested so much at every party! This is an awesome crowd pleaser.
Any time you combine these ingredients, you are going to get something pretty tasty. But I think this particular recipe has some issues. For instance, why mix cream cheese in with the sour cream? To me, that doesn't seem to add a lot, and it throws the proportions off (too much dairy). I'd rather mix the taco seasonings into the sour cream and forget the cream cheese. Why put the cheddar cheese at the very top instead of on the (presumably hot) refried beans, where it will get a little gooey? And if you're going to add multiple layers that look alike (e.g. diced tomatoes & salsa, or green pepper/green onions/lettuce), why put them together so they only look like one layer? There are better ways to order the layers.
If you make this and put lettuce in it, be sure to chop the lettuce very, very finely; otherwise you can't dip through the lettuce layer with any normal chip.
I'd suggest finding another layer dip, or making modifications to this one. I wouldn't make it again as-is. It's not bad, but given that there are so many great recipes for layer dips out there, I wouldn't settle for one that's just "not bad."

Great recipe, thank you. One word of advice on the container you put it in, an 11 x 7 is no where near large enough. I ended up leaving out the lettuce, not that any one cared! I will use my 9 x 13 next time, I think that will be the perfect size. Thanks again.
This recipe is very good as is, but is also easy to alter to personal taste. I have took suggestions of others and added 1 lb. of hamburger to the taco seasoning and guacamole instead of lettuce, both very good. I however like this recipe best with medium taco seasoning and salsa and also adding a can of Rotel instead of the tomato, green pepper, onions. Very easy and adds a bit of a kick to it. The 13X9in. dish works the best.
Great dip. I started off with the beans for layer one.
The cream cheese , sour cream, and half of taco seasoning mix(makes it very spicy)mixed together for layer two.
I added guacamole for layer three.
Diced tomatoes for layer four.
Black olives for layer five.
Salsa for layer six and
lots of shredded cheese for layer seven.
I skipped onions, lettuce, and peppers and spread my layers in a 13x9 inch glass dish and heated at 350 for 30 minutes and talk about people raving.
Everyone wanted to know the recipe.
Easy, delicious and def a keeper for a fun appetizer
Just wonderful!
I actually used a hybrid of user advice here and ended up with this layer combination (from bottom up): Layer 1-refried beans
Layer 2-Cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning
Layer 3-Guacamole
Layer 4-Tomatoes, green peppers, green onions, and lettuce
Layer 5-Salsa
Layer 6-Shredded Cheddar cheese
Layer 7-Black beans
I really liked this combination of ingredients and didn't find the lettuce or any of the other vegetables to be bothersome.
I didn't know whether I would prefer this dish hot or cold, so I served it warm the first night, and we had the leftovers cold. I love it either way, and plan to make it again, both for my own family and for get-togethers, for which it is perfect in terms of size.
I'm a big fan of taco dip, so I LOVED this recipe. I've made it many times and everyone always loves it. I think it's way better without meat in it. I find that I can't have it in the refrigerator, because if I do I'll eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My only suggestion would be to definitely get the thick and chunky salsa, and drain it a bit; otherwise it gets a little runny. Thanks for the recipe!
I drastically reduced the fat and calories by substituting fat-free sour cream, fat-free cream cheese, and reduced fat cheddar. Brought it to a party and NO ONE noticed the change, because all the other flavors made up for it. The dip was scarfed up, and I got requests for the recipe.

Fairfax may soon be home to a major cancer treatment center on par with those located near medical schools around the country.
Last month, the Inova Governance Board voted to develop the Inova Comprehensive Cancer and Research Institute, intended to be the largest cancer treatment facility in the greater Washington, D.C. area. The new seven-story facility will be located on Inova�s Fairfax campus and construction is planned for 2014.
Northern Virginia is projected to see an increase in cancer rates in the coming years as the population begins to age, said Susan Carroll, vice president of oncology services for Inova.
�The No. 1 risk factor for cancer is your age,� she said.
While cancer treatment is already available throughout the Inova system and its competitor in the region, Northern Virginia does not yet have the sort of comprehensive center that Inova is planning. The facility will incorporate research and will be supported by the work of the Inova Translational Medicine Institute, which focuses on genomics.
�We believe putting research right next to patient care really enables us to get that research to the patient faster,� Carroll said.
Recent advances in genetic testing and identifying differences in cancer types �enables us to develop treatment and care plans that are much more tailored to the patient,� Carroll said.
In addition to serving local residents, Inova hopes the cancer center will become a �destination cancer center,� specializing in rare and complex cancers, Carroll said. Cancer treatment will still be available throughout the Inova system,so patients can get more routine treatments at a location in their community.
Attracting top medical researchers will be key in making Inova�s new facility stand out among its many competitors, said Emanuel �Chip� Petricoin III, co-director of George Mason University�s Center for Applied Protomeotics and Molecular Medicine.
�It�s not like there are no cancer treatment centers in the area,� he said, noting that many people in the area who need specialized treatment now go to Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, considered one of the best cancer treatment centers in the country.
The biggest trend in cancer treatment now is the increase in the availability of more advanced treatments at the community level, Petricoin said.
�You could now have your private practice doctor order the same tests that a few years ago the head of oncology at a hospital would have to order,� he said. �They�re going to be fighting that trend.�
Carroll said that the trend of bringing newer treatments into community hospitals actually supports the need for Inova�s plans for comprehensive cancer treatment, as there is no longer a need for someone to travel to a big university to get advanced care.
At the end of the day, Petricoin said, patients are the winners with Inova�s announcement. The �comprehensive cancer center� designation the hospital is pursuing indicates a strong commitment to research and care that is well-integrated throughout the hospital system, he said.
�From a patient perspective, there is nothing not to like because it gives them another choice,� he said.

Comments about SousVide Supreme Demi Sous Vide Water Oven:
When I first received this product I was very concerned because it was missing the important cooking instructions, so it was not usable. It also had greasy stains on it. Not an auspicious beginning.However, after trying to resolve the issues with Brookstone and receiving one that would not start when I plugged it in after more than 2 weeks, I called the manufacturer directly. They could not be more helpful. One important QC check they do is test every machine, then they explained that they systematically recheck every certain number of machines twice and another group three times. This is not a bad thing, but it caused me to think the product was used, which I guess it was, but only for testing.A second issue is that you need to know that you should hold the start button down for as long as 10 seconds to start the machine -- that is a really long time, and you are going to think it is broken. This is apparently in the design to prevent accidental "ons" and "offs."Now that we have the on and off process clear, we have been using this oven frequently. I recently purchased sockeye salmon from [@], which is vacuum sealed in portions -- sous vide ready. It is great for this -- just drop in. Other products are sous vide ready, too, such as their chicken. It is great for this, drop in and go and do something else. Soft boiled eggs are fantastic and have become a family favorite.I have cooked vegetables, too. I hope to use this for an upcoming dinner gathering so the food will be ready when we are.

One size fits all doesn't work in emergency care, especially when it comes to kids. They need oxygen masks and other equipment sized just for them. They also need staff who are expert in the right dose of medication, as well as in the right words to coax a smile.
Edward's Emergency Department is recognized as an Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP). Edward was the first hospital in DuPage County to open a Pediatric Emergency Department (January of 2000). Since then, the Edward Kids' ER consistently ranks in the top 2 percent of the country in patient satisfaction and is one of few Kids' ERs in the Chicago area with all board certified pediatric emergency physicians. Read more about the Kids' ER team.
Shorter wait times, more efficiencyWith its own exclusive CT scanner, patients don't have to wait for openings in the CT scanners in the main radiology department. The latest information systems, lab and radiology technologies help ensure that turnaround times overall are significantly better than the national average. In most cases our young patients and their families are on their way home in less than an hour.
The doctors and nurses who provide our emergency care for kids have gone through special training in use of equipment and techniques for diagnosing and treating children. Painless IVs and special bandages that take the place of stitches are a few of the kid-friendly treatments available. The rooms are private and the oceanic décor helps ease the fears of our young patients. Wave-like curves are built into the ceiling and walls, while turtles, crabs and other sea creatures pave the way down halls.
Child Life Specialists (pictured below) are available to provide comfort to children and teens that are being treated in our emergency department. Their primary focus is to promote healing and help patients adjust to the emotional challenges of hospitalization and treatment. This is achieved by our child life team by offering medical preparation, introducing coping strategies, and utilizing distraction techniques. Their one-on-one work with a patient and family helps ease the stress the patients are experiencing and provides a form of support for the entire family system.

Water Drops on Burning Rocks (Gouttes d'eau Sur Pierres Brulantes)
Adapted from an unproduced play written by the great Rainer Werner Fassbinder at the age of 19, WATER DROPS is set in Germany in the 1970s. Leopold, a smug, still-hunky 50-year-old businessman, picks up and seduces fresh-faced, carrot-topped 19-year-old Franz who swiftly moves into his bachelor pad. Their cozy relationship soon sours as Leopold, a kind of gone-to-seed Dirk Bogarde, turns cranky and argumentative. When Franz's buxom blond girlfriend surfaces, and then Leopold's elegant and enigmatic ex, things get funnier, steamier and a lot more complicated.

The history of the Calvin Alumni Choir includes three appearances at national conventions of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA), three appearances at regional ACDA conventions, an appearance at the Michigan Choral Directors Convention, as well as tours to Denver, California, Chicago, Salt Lake City, the East Coast, five Asian countries, and the Netherlands. (Read about their upcoming visit to ACDA!) The choir has also had appearances on national television of the Netherlands, the Hour of Power, and in numerous community events with the Holland Chorale, the Grand Rapids Symphony, the American Boychoir, St. Cecelia Music Society, the North American Choral Company, Ken Medema, and Kenny Rogers Christmas. The choir also has recorded many CDs through the support of the Calvin Alumni Association and one cassette with the support of CRC Publications.
The choir has released numerous commercial recordings including "You Shall Have a Song," a collection of the sacred choral works of prominent American composer Stephen Paulus. Active in the promotion of American choral music, the choir has commissioned and premiered new works by Moses Hogan, Stephen Paulus, Alberto Grau, Paul Caldwell and Sean Ivory among others.
As part of its 30th anniversary season the choir participated in the American Choral Directors Convention in Miami, gave a performance for alumni and friends at Butterfly World in Florida and participated in a worship service at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church.
In addition to its four annual concerts, the Calvin College Alumni Choir leads worship services in area churches and performs for Calvin College and community functions. Guest directors have included such eminent composers and conductors as Sir David Willcocks, Semyon Bychkov, John Rutter, and Moses Hogan. Members of the choir are admitted by audition. The singers, representing a variety of professions, are alumni of Calvin College who come from all over West Michigan for a weekly rehearsal.
The choir was founded in 1977 by Helen Hoekema VanWyck. In 1981, Anton Armstrong, current conductor of the St. Olaf College Choir, became the Alumni Choir's fourth conductor. During Dr. Armstrong's tenure, the choir performed for the National Convention of the American Choral Directors Association in Salt Lake City (1985). Charles K. Smith, Director of Choral Activities (emeritus) at Michigan State University, was the choir's fifth conductor.
The Calvin Alumni Choir has been under the direction of Dr. Pearl Shangkuan since 1998. In March of 2007, the choir performed at the national convention of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) held in Miami. It has also performed at regional and state conventions of the ACDA, National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM), and American Guild of Organists (AGO). Dr. Shangkuan led the choir on a tour to Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Taiwan in 2000 and the Netherlands in 2004.
The choir has collaborated with the Grand Rapids Symphony as the featured guest chorus on performances of the B Minor Mass and the Magnificat by Bach at the Grand Rapids Bach Festival in 2005 and 2007, as well as the Second Symphony ("Resurrection") by Mahler.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my truck. I didn't expect to hear anything yet about my truck nor do i sit by the phone expecting they are gonna tell me they found it either. It will be parted out and burned down im sure. My buddy who is a rig welder as well offered me his 2004 f 350 superduty dually to use while im down. He said i can just use it, change the oil and keep the maintenence up and when i'm done return it. He also said i can use his skid that he had in it. He going to the farm today to start making me wraps for it cause his reels came of there to his newer ford. He is gonna sell the truck for 27 with skid so maybe after the insurance agency rolls me over ill walk away with a truck paid for and 20 or so grand to get tools and such i can make payments to him friend to friend and not have to really go into much debt. Ill never get back what i had into it. NEVER. Why couldnt i have been in texas. I know down there you break into a riggers truck and you immediately have signed youre death certificate toe tag included. Once again to a community of rig welders who are nation strong thanks guys for the tool offers and welder offers. It blows me away you guys are willing to lend a guy stuff you dont know.I WOULD DO EXACTLY THE SAME TOO.

Picture of my replacement rig for the stolen bnelson welding and oilfield services l
Because i am a ltd company, or wether i was one or not i keep all receipts for things purchased. I gave my insurance company every receipt i had for the things i bought aftermarket and every picture i had on the outside and all the receipts for the electronics on the inside like the gps which is not the kinda gps that can find the truck,LOL, the radar detector,all wireless bluetooth For my new blackberry curve. my new pentax camera i take with me to snap pics for the wife and kids of the places im working and the list goes on and on. I treated the interior of my truck as an office and never thought it would end like this. Hers a picture of the truck my buddy is gonna let me use until i get my feet back on the ground. I told the insurance agency to replace what i had i would need for the hand tools,rebuild the entire skid with tool boxes which alone cost 2700 as they were all rolled at a shop with aluminum doors,the welder reel,cables,my bottles oxy acet lines connectors and on and on plus the truck and after market in and out 75,000. My contents were mint as i treated and treat my things and other peoples things with the greatest of care. No frayed ends on anything,grinders weren't beat to ****. I may walk out of there with 12 grand with the truck paid off entirely and that left to buy tools cause the skid i already have.
Really nice friend.... and really nice truck.
Good luck.Later,

Trish McEvoy Brushes
Trish McEvoy's brushes can be considered one-stop shopping for those whose budget extends this far.
Mini Brush Set
Perfect for on-the-go touch-ups and travel, this Mini Brush Set comes with six brushes to complete your makeup look.

Brushes are essential to beautiful makeup application. In order to make the Best Products list, brushes and applicators must:
Professional-size brushes are available in all price ranges. Keep in mind that the density, shape, and cut of the brush is more important than the source of the bristles.
Although many cosmetics companies love to brag about the type and grade of animal hair used for their brushes, remember, you are not buying a mink coat. Hair softness, brush shape, and firmness (which affect application) are what matters the most, no matter the source.
More companies are offering synthetic brushes that are often exquisite replications of natural-hair brushes that must be felt to be believed. These synthetic brushes are worthwhile options, and an easy solution for anyone conflicted about using animal-hair brushes for applying makeup.
Please note that not every single brush from the brands on the list was rated a Best. For comments on individual brushes and individual "Best" brushes, please refer to the respective cosmetics company's review elsewhere on this site. A brush collection that rates a Best represents a superior combination of performance, craftsmanship, and value.

The lid doesn't match :/
Very Cool sounding stuff
Any chance your stuck in a Mac?
The ad is good the image might look better in low sat or even b/w. Also the third sentence of the ad is too complex and should be revised.
Nice to hear sth from u again!
Looks good. I think the flame needs enhancement, it's too dull and transparent, add some more blue glow to it.
I partilay agree with david, though i think it needs a bit more orange.
BIG improvement over the church roller coaster ad haha.
I would edit out the keypad in the upper right, and the counter in the top left.
that would take some serious effort!
Effort shows! I would also try and edit out the.. Idk whatever the spots on the burner thingy are...
dude i wanna see YOU do that!
Top right is a 2 second thing, the dots on the burner thingy is also done in a matter of seconds, but top left is hard to do tbh ...
do you mean the dots on the pot or the iron part?
Hope to see the final result after all recommendations are incorporated. Thanks.

County employees will get a raise and taxpayers will pay a bit more to fund county services, according to the package of budget amendments the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved on Tuesday.
That package did not include any additional money for schools. The county is planning to fund $1.68 billion in school operations costs, a 4.5 percent increase over the current year�s budget; school officials had asked for as much as an 8 percent increase.
Supervisors went with the 4.5 percent increase recommended byCounty Executive Anthony Griffin.
The board formally will adopt the $6.3 billion budget and set the county�s real estate tax rate for fiscal 2013 on May 1.
Supervisors plan to increase the county�s real estate tax rate by 0.5 cents ( to $1.075 per $100 of assessed value) and increase the stormwater tax by 0.5 cents, to 2 cents per $100 of assessed value. The stormwater service fee is billed as part of residents� real estate taxes.
The combined rate increases represent an average $80 increase for homeowners.
Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee) said that, given the increase in his assessed home value, he actually would be seeing a more than $700 increase in his own tax bill.
�It is worth it to me to provide the services that we heard from the community that they need,� he said.
Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield) was one of two supervisors to vote against the budget package because of tax increases. He said he supports increasing employee salaries but opposes other expenditures, such as funding for affordable housing programs.
�We need to be preparing for the future, and this budget fails to do that,� Herrity said.
Supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock) also voted against the budget amendments. He said the increased spending on county programs is shortchanging investments in transportation and other infrastructure.
Board members agreed to increase the stormwater service fee less to offset the half-cent increase in the real estate tax rate. This move allowed the board to invest more funding in employee salaries than Griffin originally had proposed.
Non-public safety employees will receive a 2.18 percent cost-of-living increase in July, and will be eligible for a performance-based pay increase of as much as 2.5 percent in January. Public safety employees also will receive a cost-of-living increase and be eligible to receive their scheduled longevity-based pay increases on their anniversary dates.
The total cost for these pay increases is about $39 million, and an additional $38 million is included in the budget to cover increases in retirement, health insurance and other employee benefits.
�I think that our employees have done a tremendous amount over the years without increases in compensation,� said Supervisor Michael Frey (R-Sully), adding compensation was his biggest budget priority. �We could not wait another year.�
In addition to investing more in employee compensation, the board also voted to put $5.6 million more into human services programs and an additional $1.3 million for the county�s affordable housing plan.
Some library hours that were cut in recent years will be restored, specialized public safety positions such as the two-person marine patrol — which supervisors jokingly call �Fairfax County�s navy� — were spared again, and there was even $100,000 to support local arts organizations.
�Hopefully we are beginning to see the dawn of a new day,� said board Chairwoman Sharon Bulova (D-At large), expressing optimism that the tough budget years due to the nationwide recession are behind the county.

Our epic journey began with a short drive from Hong Kong to Shenzhen. We then hopped on a plane from Shenzhen to Xi'an City, where we caught another plane to Jiayuguan City. Jiayuguan City was our first shooting location, so immediately we scouted out the location and quickly became acquainted with our our new clients, advertising agency team, and extremely helpful local production team, all of whom would extend great friendship, wisdom, and riotous bouts of laughter. The Next day we drove another five hours into Dunhuang to prepare for our shoot in the Desert.
This album attempts to share a glimpse of what we encountered along the way. We feel very fortunate to have encountered such great people and places, and look forward to our next adventure.
For inquiries into our photography services, please contact me at email@example.com or visit www.reddogstudio.com.hk
All my best,
I think anyone who lives in Hong Kong or anyone else who lives in a small space can appreciate this amazing apartment transformation.
Here is a quick look at what went on behind the scenes, during the shoot i did for the SHOTSUNITE Campaign.
For more information about the brand feel free to check out their webpage: www.shotsunite.com
Oh how I love my visits home to the place I grew up in Columbus, Ohio.....But man, is it ever cold in the winter.
For all those fans of Andrew Bird, here are some images I had the opportunity to take while he was playing his gig at grappas in Hong Kong.
I stumbled upon the music of Andrew bird about 5 years ago while I was living in South Beach, Miami. I had been a regular customer at a small independent music venue on Collins Ave, and they have a great music listening area that allows customers to listen to albums as long as they want. So, that day en route to a meeting I stopped in and randomly picked up a copy of Bird's "Mysterious Production of Eggs." Well... I ended up 30 minutes late to my meeting because I had to listen through the album s end.
So, I was finally able to catch him live, and it was no dissapointment.....Here are the resulting images of a man caught in the moments of, as Bird described it after the show, "definitely one of the most intimate shows I've had in a long time."
Hoping for lots of great musicians to follow, with the support of the hong kong community. A special thanks to The People's Party for organizing the event.
The day began early afternoon with a spicy bloody mary and a few drops of rain. Not a typical Sunday by any means in Hong Kong, not due to the weather or choice of beverage, but the convergence of locals for a music festival. Clockenflap.
Here are some photos from the day:
Jay FC AKA Dj Bohdi layin down the sick tracks with his son and protege Tristan!
I have to make some comments about a couple of performances that really made an impression on me. First, Fink, who is completely new to me, and a very unexpected surprise. His solo on stage acoustic performance was so engaging and intimate that at times he had to apologize because his content was a bit sad. But the Lo-Fi resonance of his guitar and voice was, at times heartbreaking, but nonetheless brilliantly crafted -the crowd was seemingly spellbound. He was a great artist to take us from daylight into the darkness, literally.
Here are some photos from his performance:
Another performance of interest was by a band called Yacht from Portland, Oregon. They are creating music that is very inventive and theatrical, and it is this theatrical element that makes them so much fun to be a part of during live performances. They have totally embraced their "theatre kid geekiness" and created incredibly entertaining alter-egos for their music on stage. A lot of their songs have a driving electronic beat, that gets people dancing, and their proselytizing, at times philosophical, statements and advice about life tip toes across a line of the absurd. After the show, we had the chance to meet up with them, and they were really quiet and introverted...a very nice couple.
Here are some photos from their performance:
Here are some photo's from Blood Red Shoes' performance:
Well, I know I'm quite behind on my comments about Halloween night, but without saying much I will let my pictures speak for themselves. As some of you may know I dressed up as a 60's "erotic" photographer and had an old diana camera with me. I think most people just assumed I was snapping away with a fake camera, but as you can see, It was indeed real, and captured some eccentric moments. See if you can spot yourself!
Thanks for a great party Alive not Dead.
Courtesy of my friends at pitchfork media. This is a short four song set, excellent for those who have never heard of Grizzly Bear or have never seen them live....hope you enjoy.
