There are more than five billion mobile phones in use worldwide. Yet the debate about their safety rages on. Could something so central to modern life really be a health hazard?
Scientists at the Children with Cancer conference in London this week will advocate that governments adopt the "precautionary principle" – advising phone users to take simple steps to protect themselves and their children from potential and not proven long-term health risks of electromagnetic fields – especially head cancers.
They will call for urgent research into new Office of National Statistics figures that suggest a 50 per cent increase in frontal and temporal lobe tumours – the areas of the brain most susceptible to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones – between 1999 and 2009.
Caroline Lucas, MP for Brighton Pavilion and Green Party leader, will next week table an Early Day Motion calling for mandatory safety information at the point of sale.
But the Health Protection Agency's new report on the "potential health effects" on mobile phone technologies on Thursday is likely to conclude that there is only one established risk, and that is crashing the car if people talk and drive.
The scientists cannot agree, so what should the public be told? The Department of Health has a confusing online-only leaflet which states that there is no immediate concern, but under-16s should be encouraged to minimise phone use.
In stark contrast, France has banned phones from primary schools and advertising targeted at children, and companies must provide headsets with every phone.
John Cooke, executive director of the Mobile Operators Association, said: "There is no evidence to suggest that warning labels for mobiles are warranted. In fact, there is good evidence that the proliferation of warnings about risk, where there is no good evidence for such risk, is counter-productive and is bad for public health."

Fitness Self-Assessment
ACSM's Program for Balanced Fitness (Part Four)
Material adapted from ACSM's Complete Guide to Fitness & Health by the American College of Sports Medicine. (Copyright 2011 by Human Kinetics Publishers, Inc.) Excerpted by permission of Human Kinetics, Champaign, IL. http://www.humankinetics.com/.
Creating an exercise program is not difficult, but it requires some thought and planning. The first step is often the hardest. Develop an action plan by assessing where you are in your life and how you can find the motivation to move forward. Ask yourself these self-assessment questions:
- What do I currently like about my body. What don't I like? What would I like to change?
- What aspect of my body or my current health situation makes me unhappy, but could be positively affected by a regular exercise program?
- What do I want to change and why?
- Am I willing to give up my current routine to make that change?
- Do I have the motivation to make that change?
- What has been my previous experience with personal health behavior change? What worked? What didn't? How can reflecting on my previous experience help me this time?
Most likely, your wake-up call was realizing that lack of fitness prevents you from engaging fully in life activities. Consider the following examples:
Aerobic Fitness
- Do you find yourself breathless going up a short flight of stairs?
- Do you avoid social or recreational situations that may involve physical activity?
- Are you unable to keep up with peers in sport competitions or recreational activities?
Muscular Fitness
- Are you unable to lift a bag of groceries from your vehicle?
- Do you struggle to hold your child or grandchild?
- Are you limited in your recreational pursuits by a lack of strength?
- Are you unable to reach over your shoulder to fasten a zipper?
- Do you find it difficult to look behind you to check for traffic when driving?
- Do you have to modify your movements (e.g., a golf swing) to compensate for limited joint mobility?
Body Composition
- Are your clothes tighter than they were last year?
- Do you feel unhappy with your appearance because of weight gain?
- Does added body fat limit your enjoyment of recreational activities such as jogging or cycling?

Gartner: 75 Percent of Enterprises to Use Analytics by 2017
NEWS ANALYSIS: The fact that a full three-quarters of IT systems globally are—or will be—using regular analytics of business data is pretty impressive.While moving to cloud services was the major trend for enterprise IT from 2006 to 2012 or so, building big data analytics, automation and mobility applications into the workforce are the other megatrends since then. However, even though investment in big data continues to increase in 2015, it's starting to level off a little. On Sept. 18, Gartner Research came out with a study of IT and business leaders that contends more than three-quarters of global companies are investing or planning to invest in big data analytics in the next two years. This is a mere 3 percent increase over 2014, but so what? The fact that a full three-quarters of IT systems in global enterprises are—or will be—using regular analytics of business data is a pretty impressive metric. Safe to say that the category has officially gone mainstream. The survey was conducted among 437 Gartner Research Circle Members in June 2015 and included global organizations across all industries—both Gartner clients and nonclients.

Pro stuff--off-the-board great Report this review

(This review is for Sanctum 2 by Outlaw Effects)
I didn't know what to expect with Sanctum 2 looking at the solitary pocket card that I received. Then I dove head first into the 48 pages of instructions set in an itty-bitty font. Wow. Wow. And wow. This is brilliantly designed and chock full of amazing possibilities. I can't even begin to scratch the surface describing this. You could do 10 or 15 minutes just from this one card from your wallet. Combine that with Kolossal Killer, Positive/Negative, Hollywood or Bust, Tequila Hustler, a coin bend, Organic Choice, and Kioku or PowerBall 60, and we're talking a complete show out of your wallet.
I'll admit that I'm obsessed with really esoteric, impromptu mentalism. Oh sure, Bank Night, psychometry, book tests, and Russian Roulette with cans of shaken up soda are fun to do in a stage or parlor show, but there's just something wonderful about using one special card, a bunch of scratch-off lottery tickets, scraps of paper, and a single coin. Out of my wallet, I can do pretty much a 30-45 minute show. Yep. Out of my wallet. No Mental Epic Board or Baker Slate in sight. And if I bring along my small emergency mentalism bag--as suggested by the great Richard Osterlind--which contains my Xpert, Fall Sharpie, BIP Book 2.0, Mind Power Deck, and Swami Gimmick--I can do about a half-dozen different 30-45 minute shows. Sanctum 2, once I figure out how I'm going to use it, is going right into one of those shows. It's terrific, as I've come to expect from Outlaw Effects. But if you are a casual mentalist, since it is so dependent on memory skills, quick thinking, and showmanship, it is probably too much.

I love this company. I think their stuff is a little high, but it's pretty exclusive. I own this effect, but it's hard to use all the time. It need to be presented to the right person at the right time. The explanation book is pretty detailed, so it's what you put into it is what you will get out of it.

Improved Hardness of Approximation for Stackelberg Shortest-Path Pricing

We consider the Stackelberg shortest-path pricing problem, which is defined as follows. Given a graph G with fixed-cost and pricable edges and two distinct vertices s and t, we may assign prices to the pricable edges. Based on the predefined fixed costs and our prices, a customer purchases a cheapest s-t-path in G and we receive payment equal to the sum of prices of pricable edges belonging to the path. Our goal is to find prices maximizing the payment received from the customer. While Stackelberg shortest-path pricing was known to be APX-hard before, we provide the first explicit approximation threshold and prove hardness of approximation within 2 − o(1). We also argue that the nicely structured type of instance resulting from our reduction captures most of the challenges we face in dealing with the problem in general and, in particular, we show that the gap between the revenue of an optimal pricing and the only known general upper bound can still be logarithmically large.

A US Airways jetliner crashed into the frigid Hudson River on Thursday afternoon after a collision with a flock of birds disabled both its engines, sending more than 150 passengers and crew members scrambling onto rescue boats, authorities say.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said Flight 1549 had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport en route to Charlotte, North Carolina, when the crash occurred.
The plane went into the Hudson River, which divides New York and New Jersey, near 48th Street in midtown Manhattan.
The jet, initially surrounded by commuter ferries and later by rescue boats, floated downstream as hundreds watched from office towers overlooking the river.
The plane initially sank up to its windows, and passengers were taken off into frigid water on one of the coldest days of the year with temperatures around 20 degrees (minus 6.7 degrees Celsius).
The plane, an Airbus 320, took off at 3:26 p.m. (2026 GMT) and went down minutes later, Brown said.
"There were eyewitness reports the plane may have flown into a flock of birds," Brown said. She added, "right now we don't have any indication this was anything other than an accident."
Rescuers in Coast Guard vessels and ferry boats arrived, opened the door and pulled passengers in yellow life vests from the aircraft.
The plane eventually sank.
Witnesses said the plane's pilot appeared to guide the plane down.
"I see a commercial airliner coming down, looking like it's landing right in the water," said Bob Read, who saw it from his office at the television newsmagazine "Inside Edition." "This looked like a controlled descent."
Barbara Sambriski, a researcher at The Associated Press, saw the plane go down from the news organization's high-rise office. "I just thought, 'Why is it so low?' And, splash, it hit the water," she said.
Joe Mazzone, a retired Delta Air Lines pilot, said it is not unusual for birds to strike planes. In fact, he said, when planes get ready to take off, if there are birds in the area, the tower will alert the crew.
"They literally just choke out the engine and it quits," Mazzone said.

Book Describes Rise, Fall of Perry's 2012 Campaign
Gov. Rick Perry's failed 2012 presidential campaign is chronicled in detail in Double Down: Game Change 2012, a new book about the last presidential race.
Full Story
Jay Root is a native of Liberty. He never knew any reporters growing up, and he has never taken a journalism class in his life. But somehow he got hooked on the news business. It all started when Root walked into the offices of The Daily Texan, his college newspaper, during his last year at the University of Texas in 1987. He couldn't resist the draw: it was the biggest collection of misfits ever assembled. After graduating, he took a job at a Houston chemical company and soon realized it wasn't for him. Root applied for an unpaid internship at the Houston Post in 1990, and it turned into a full-time job that same year. He has been a reporter ever since. Root has covered natural disasters, live music and Texas politics — not necessarily in that order. He was Austin bureau chief of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for a dozen years, most of them good. He also covered politics and the Legislature for The Associated Press before joining the staff of the Tribune.Root is the author of "Oops! A Diary From The 2012 Campaign Trail," an insider's account of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's dramatic collapse in the 2012 presidential race. The book was released in September, 2012.

- Green Jasmine is green tea that has been infused with the natural scent of jasmine flowers by alternating several layers of the flower within the green tea leaves prior to the brewing process. Exuding a distinct refreshing taste, Jasmine tea has nerve-calming and relaxation effects and also helps promote fresh breath. Our traditional brewing methods use only the most premium, loose tea leaves — only the purest tea. (from Ito En)Claims

This review is from: HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL PCI-Express 2.0 x8 Low Profile SATA / SAS Controller Card
Pros: - Fast RAID 5, over 70MB/s with 4 drives + 1 spare.
Cons: - Would of liked at least 1 fan out cable.
- Buzzer is ungodly loud. It is deafeningly loud. It went off when I was testing to make sure it would auto rebuild onto the spare drive, and my ears rang for over an hour for just 5 min of the buzzer.
Other Thoughts: Most desktop motherboards have their x16/x8 slots setup for GPU's. Some of these boards don't support RAID cards. Ask your manufacturer first before you blame the card. I asked EVGA first and they told me to make sure it wasn't in the first x16 slot, so I put it in slot 2. Works great.
The card is made for server systems, and needs constant airflow.
I went with RAID 5 over RAID 6 because of speed. It went from ~70MB/s to ~45MB/s. I will try again if the update the firmware.
This review is from: AMS DS-3151SSBK Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA SATA SATA Backplane Module
Pros: - Nice sleds
- Keeps the drives cool
- Fan on low is very quiet, and move enough air to cool 4 1 TB drives.
- Temp+Fan monitor.
Cons: - No documentation.
- Has a ton of rear pinouts, that aren't documented.
- Latches are plastic.
- On off buttons get jammed some times.
- Lock can be bypassed with almost anything.
Other Thoughts: If you get a drive that will not turn on, pull all the drives out, and check the back pcb switches. The front panel on/off buttons are just plastic rods that hit buttons on the rear pcb. They get jammed sometimes. Just use pick, or anything long and pointed to push the button down so it clicks.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Tripp Lite 9U Wall-Mount Rack Enclosure Cabinet, Switch-Depth (SRW9U)
Pros: - Rock Solid
- Very well build.
- Mesh everywhere for airflow.
- Locking removable side panels.
Cons: - Locks are flimsy
Other Thoughts: I mounted it to the wall with some nice stainless screws into a tap-conned panel. Held me at 230LB plus 50+LB of equipment.READ FULL REVIEW

Madge and Guy face more grilling over baby David
It sometimes seems like celebs get better treatment than the rest of us (who else, other than Paris, would be let out of prison early for 'medical reasons'?), so it's heartening to hear that Madonna and Guy Ritchie face questioning by social workers before bringing baby David into the UK.
According to the Mirror, they'll have to answer questions on their relationship, medical histories, and even their sex life before being approved for fostering.
Despite the couple's riches, Madge, 48 could face the heartbreak of being turned down, as guidelines recommend an age gap of less than 45 years between child and foster parent - making 13-month-old David too young, according to official guidelines.
We only hope members of the adoption panel approving the application haven't seen the couple's dire movie Swept Away - otherwise we fear for Madge's prospects.

The Audacity of Dreaming
I'm embarrassed to admit something. Publicly. So out there and uncovered. But I'll say it because there isn't a reason to hide and I figure there may be people who feel like me. Maybe. So here is it goes…
There were (okay…okay…there are) days when the only thing I want to be is Artistic. Yes, a captital letter because it's a noun in my mind; a person, a place, a thing. Artistic in a way that I can look at my images and think I made some impression, left some dent, in the art world. There are times when I find someone else's images and they leave me breathless in a swimming-at-the-bottom-of-a-pool kind of way. Deep, aching breaths. And I know I'm no where near that level of oxygen deprivation.
There are moments I battle with myself because I don't know if I'll ever have that thing in me. That thing that feels like black-rimmed glasses, clove cigarettes, and oil splatters on a canvas. The thing that tastes like duck pâté and whiskey.
But then. And this is a pretty big BUT. But then I'm reminded (usually by JD) that talent is nothing without ambition…and the smallest bit of talent can be carried on the wings of sheer desire and hard work. Sure, it's not as glamorous as leaving someone breathless, but it's enough to make people happy. And the satisfaction of happiness is the salve I pour on my insecurity, making me stronger in the process.
I'll continue to work so one day I might feel like the noun I aspire to, but until then I am content sipping on a cocktail of ambition, drive, and the audacity of dreams.

You are Artistic in so very many ways. I don't know that we, as artists, can ever really feel that way about our own work. And I'm not sure that I want to. If I'm ever satisfied with my work then I'm scared I'll stop growing and my creativity will cease. But know that no matter how you see your work, you do in fact leave others breathless with that exact feeling you write of. You've left me breathless on many accounts not only with your beautiful photographs but also with your words.
August 22nd, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Oh but you already are Artistic! Light and shadow, leading and converging lines, use of shapes to frame your subject, negative space – that is the stuff of art and I see all of it in the first few pages of blog posts. I know exactly what you mean by that take your breath away feeling, but you should know that many of us aspire to be as Artistic as you are!
August 22nd, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Your work is inspiring to me in that way. And so is your honesty! It's good to know everyone has their own doubts and demons, but, seriously…you are an Artist. Truly.
August 22nd, 2012 at 2:59 pm
God gives us the ability to dream. Pursuing the dream to be an Artist brings Him delight as it honors Him. Being made in the image and likeness of the Creator means we are made to create moments, art, actions and words that leave others breathless. If you want to be an Artist, then be one. Do the work that makes your soul sing and trust that the end results will leave someone breathless.
August 22nd, 2012 at 3:29 pm
🙂 this made me tear up a bit. I feel the same way, I get so caught up in equiptment and business that I feel like I'm loosing the girl who first picked up the camera. Thank you for posting this.
August 22nd, 2012 at 3:36 pm
I FEEL you Jasmine! I struggle with this more often than I'd like to admit. Sure, my images are good, and they are pretty, and they make our couples happy. That's all fine and good but sometimes I just want to create for the sake of creating, something so pretty and interesting that it makes people stop and sigh. But you have to remind yourself (as I've been reminded), that you ARE an artist, even if it's not in the capacity you think….
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:00 pm
thanks! you've put into words how I feel :>) fyi, breathtaking is how I see your photos. :>)
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:14 pm
Completely relate to this feeling – Honestly – your images DO leave ME breathless and I feel myself wishing I had your talent and ability, but like you said – it is all about dreaming and moving forward. We will all get to where we want to be… One day! ?
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:14 pm
Great post, Jasmine! Thanks for sharing those private feelings so that we can all aspire to our dreams. Without dreams there would be no goals, no inspiration, no ambition. Thanks for saying the hard stuff. The awareness that others struggle with the same thing allows me to acknowledge my own dreams.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:16 pm
PLEASE tell me you're going to write a book one day! I love your writing, its so vusual and grasp-able.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:17 pm
JD is right as rain! As Sue Bryce recently reminded everyone in her creative live workshop – "Talent helps, but it won't take you as far as ambition. Everybody wants to be good, but not many are prepared to make the sacrifices it takes to be great." – Paul Arden
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:17 pm
So nice to read that someone who has achieved your level of success still has doubts. Lately I've been feeling like I'll never reach that light inside myself that can create amazing images. Or that one day I might lose it. But I think we should keep reminding ourselves that no one can see the world the way that we can and that is our unique gift. Keep shooting with your soul and everything else will fall in line!
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Holy cow. Have you been reading my mind??? Thank you for your transparency. I have had these thoughts many, many, many times. Knowing that it's not just a battle I fight that no one else understands is a HUGE comfort!
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Thank you….I needed to read this…this morning. I was just sitting here…feeling…well far less than perfect. Contemplating whether my dreams are worth it. Worth worrying about am I good enough…every second of the day. Will I ever get to where I want to be? And as I heard a brilliant woman once say…"God can't drive a parked car" So I suppose I'll just keep on trucking…….
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Oh.. Jasmine, that husband of yours 🙂 is such gem. His words are so quotable. I love and It's so true when he says that talent is nothing without ambition.
It's so good to be reminded of this sometimes…
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:20 pm
This is definitely where I am. I know who I am and what I can do, and sometimes I panic that I won't be able to be what I dream of, what I aspire to be. I have to remember not to frame myself in to tightly and to allow myself to . Thanks for posting so vulnerably for those of us who might relate.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:21 pm
aw j*! i just want to say that your photos DO leave me breathless and i look at our wedding & engagement photos allllllll the time. as a photographer i totally understand how you feel about your own work…but i just have to tell you that i LOVE your work! 🙂 xoxo
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:21 pm
I love you. Forever.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:22 pm
I'm pretty sure you and I were seperated at birth. I feel that way most every day as I sit here in my corporate job in my corporate cube day dreaming about creating something wonderful. (Instead of all the static that I produce every 9-5)
I have a post it up at my desk with a quote by Helen Keller that says, "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
Thanks for making me feel like you and I are friends even though we have never met. 🙂
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:26 pm
J* if anyone has a way with words your indeed at the top of the list love your inspiration.. one day.. at a time just one day I hope to live out my dreams full time shooting and recording moments in life for myself and clients.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Jasmine- all I can say is DITTO. We all feel that way. I strive with every session to have that one photograph that screams "holy smokes!!! I got THAT??" I know with time and practice I will get there, but once again its nice to hear that someone so far up the ladder still has insecurities. My husband is my cheerleader too- what would we do without them?!
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Life of the artist is a tortured existence. Some days you create and look at your work and scream to the world, "YES!!" Then the next day you look at the same piece and go "Why am I such a hack?" There comes a time in every artists journey where they finally accept the rollercoaster of emotion and just put it out there, and this is what makes art fulfilling. It is the days that you get punched in the gut to feel the agony of failure that makes the soothing hand of success feel so much better.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Just as others images leave you breathless, yours leave thousands in that state… Daily 😉
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:34 pm
You are so encouraging. Thank you for being you, not trying to be someone else. That's my struggle.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:35 pm
Thank you.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:39 pm
I am constantly inspired by your work and by your drive and determination. You are not only Artistic.. But a true Artist.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:42 pm
This verbalized my feelings perfectly! Thanks!
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:42 pm
I like the word salve. Your images HAVE left be breathless… just saying.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Jasmine, not only do I find your photography inspirational, I find your writing honest and eloquent. You write what many of us feel.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:55 pm
This is so perfectly said, Jasmine. It is even more comforting hearing this coming from YOU. You make beautiful art with each shutter click. Right on, girl.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:55 pm
I wish I could acquire a quarter of your talent. I would say your the "Artisitic" I strive to be.
August 22nd, 2012 at 4:57 pm
I love this post. Get outta my head sister!!! I feel this way so often. But still I press on. Onward at 3am, onward year after year. And you are right….. There is solace I knowing my images are making people happy and slowly discovering my art in the process. 🙂 nice to hear I am not alone with these feelings and fears.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:00 pm
I think you may have more of "duck pate' and whiskey" artist in you than you realize. In business, we are often blind to many of our own strengths because we tend to think that "everyone knows or has that." You compare yourself to those you consider better than yourself but this is the first time I realized that you regarded your artistic nature as lacking or diminished. I don't think that's the case but rather, it's more like people with body image issues- they see what they see despite evidence to the contrary. Your Artist, I believe, is alive and well.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:00 pm
You're a beautiful writer! And leave me inspired every time I visit your site. Which, in my eyes, makes you a true Artist.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Yes! Just yes. Like always, you captured my feelings and emotions in this post. I struggle with feeling Artistic (with a capital A). Sometimes I doubt myself, and that's when I know I need to stop looking at others' work and focus on what inspires me.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:06 pm
I felt this all the time when I was a waitress – the stinging discontent with the person I was versus the person I wanted to be. I thought as I worked towards my dreams and actually became a Professional Photographer this feeling of discontent would go away. Now it's a constant striving to be better, more artistic, creative… the person I wish I were. I'm so relieved to hear I am not alone. I'm positive (or hope at least) that this feeling will always push us to grow, learn and improve and that it's a good thing.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:07 pm
This is so open, honest – and sooo relevant! Thank you so much for sharing this. You have spelled out what so many of us think, feel and battle with but nobody dares to admit – ever!
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:09 pm
I feel the same way most days… thanks for the reminder that we all have those days.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Jasmine, your ability to write is such an art! Obviously your photography is beautiful and lovely but I think your paint brush really flows so freely when you pen your words. I love reading what you write and I think that you have already achieved that artistic expression that you crave- in a different way than what may be expected in the photography world, but your gift is moving and beautiful! how's that for a run on sentence!? 😉 thank you for sharing. 🙂
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:18 pm
you're my favorite artist…if that counts for anything!
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Dream on. The fuel of the creative and artistic is, and always has been, dreams… J
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:27 pm
I feel that way when I see your work! But you have inspired me to try even harder to achieve my dreams!
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Jasmine, you have such a beautiful way with words. That in and of itself is ART in my opinion… tied with your photography DOES leave an impact. I too feel this way OFTEN and absolutely love the way you described these emotions that all of us Artists feel. xoxo much love you!
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:31 pm
Your images are beautiful and they capture exactly what is needed to be captured. That is what makes you an incredibly successful photographer. What makes you an artist is your joy , passion and humility. You may not capture images the way you would like sometimes, but you inspire others to challenge themselves and not to give up on their dreams. You, all by yourself, are a splatter of paint on canvas that inspires the rest of us to dare to do something fantastic with our lives. I read an article on a blog recently that listed the ways to be unhappy and one of the points was to compare yourself to others. If you want to make those images, make time to use photography to express yourself the same way you do with words, because you don't seem to have any problems with that. One way or the other, don't worry about comparing your work to someone else's, you are incredibly talented just the way you are. (Check out the children's book "Spoon" it will make you smile and love being you.) Thanks for sharing your insecurities with us.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:33 pm
I totally get it! Keep on dreaming and working!! 🙂
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:33 pm
Oh! And I feel exactly the same way you do BTW. I wish I was more artistic and creative and wish I could capture images like you do… LOL!
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Dude. For real. You know me. That's so good to hear. More than you know. Thank you.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Beautifully put Jasmine. You have a brilliant way of saying things … of illustrating your thoughts … there is true art in that!
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Your writing always impresses me but this little "story" is how I have lived my life. I posted it on my page so that my non photography friends can also share your wisdom. JD is a very lucky man.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:51 pm
only the other day I was day dreaming about taking stunning pictures. I guess it help us to aspire to get better.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Jasmine, you are Artistic. There are like a thousand + people trying to capture moments in peoples' lives with a similar Artistic eye as yours so they can take breath away too just like you. But I know what you mean – perhaps it is the curse of the Artist – always trying to make his/her work bigger, better, in a word: perfect. Thanks as always for sharing : )
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:05 pm
You audacious thing, you. I love you. And I know you're gonna keep working toward it, keep growing. You're pretty much gonna own the world, because you're already Artistic. It starts in the heart, and the rest of it – it comes through the work you're already doing. I can't wait to see what you do, girl. Can't. Wait.
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:07 pm
And yet, part of why I follow your work is because of the Artistry of your images. Just a reminder that we are all our own harshest critics sometimes. I love your work and how you see. 🙂
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:16 pm
Jasmine–your work ALWAYS leaves me breathless. Because you capture true emotion… that's your art 🙂
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:24 pm
Jasmine, your work has made a huge impression on me, I am new to the photography world and I had no clue of the type of photography I wanted to persue until I ran across your blog. I've been hooked every since and every time I look at your images they leave me breathless in a swimming-at-the-bottom-of-a-pool kind of way. Deep, aching breaths and I only aspire to be as fabulous as you one day! 🙂
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Love you Jasmine <3 you are so inspiring. When every I feel lost, I come here and find a little bit of courage to keep on going. Thanks 🙂
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Love. It.
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:34 pm
Exactly how I feel, said so much more eloquently than I ever could.
Thank you!
August 22nd, 2012 at 8:14 pm
I hear you girlfriend. Jose Villa & Jerry Yoon always make me want to quit LIFE and keep serving up brewskies, but then I remember talent is nothing without practice and exactly what you said, the AMBITION to take it somewhere.
YOU are artistic and inspire ME! So, that counts for something, right? Right.
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:01 pm
I totally and completely understand! Please know that you are an Artist, one who has paved your own way and encourages me and so many others to do the same. And for that I am so grateful! But today as I read this, I especially feel what you are saying…my days feel numbered as I await my first little baby, who is expected in just under a month, and I am feeling so un-creative right now, yet it is what I want so badly, just one more burst of creative freedom before I'm consumed with a precious little guy! Sorry to ramble…back to my initial point, you ARE an Artist…this may just be the calm before the next creative storm! xo
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:04 pm
You are truly an inspiration Jasmine!
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:17 pm
So many times, I see that artist that started close to the time that I did (doesn't have 25yrs experience like I try to tell myself) and I see how, just somehow, they've mastered something I haven't. I can't seem to place it, believe me, I've tried. I want that something. I want it so badly that my chest aches and my heart threatens to claw it's way out. I want SO badly to be at a place that I know I'm not at yet. A place that makes people swoon, LITERALLY, I want them to pass out and drop because they held their breath for so long, when they see my work. At times like this, I have to remind myself that some day, some day…. with hard work and determination, I can learn more, try more and continue to grow. Thank you for sharing that I am not alone in this. Your work is one of those that gives me chest pains my dear. It's shocking yet beautifully precious to know you feel the same way I do. *hugs*
August 22nd, 2012 at 11:04 pm
PS: I THINK YOU ARE ARTISTIC! Forgot to say that one. But I mean it. You come up with great outfit combos!
August 22nd, 2012 at 11:08 pm
I've always wondered if being Artsy is a legitimate life goal. Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one.
August 23rd, 2012 at 2:00 am
don't forget that all your worth is found in Jesus Christ's love for you and sacrifice on the cross. place your hopes and dreams in Him, and He will give you desires of your heart.
August 23rd, 2012 at 3:02 am
I felt that EXACT feeling this week when I looked at another photog who also illustrates…how my work is somehow simply ordinary. Maybe…someday I'll be the artist that I envision in my head too 🙂

You are an artist Jasmine. My week is not complete without reading your writings. What you often right are the expression of what's in my mind that I find somewhat difficult to put into words. You are an inspiration!

What may be funny is that I look at you, your blog, The Fix, your magazine, The Store ….and dream that some day I will get what it takes to be a successful woman…its what I went to school for, its what I think of every night, how I spend time I dont have…to be successful at something I enjoy and have the freedom to pursue it. But it's that aspiration that makes us long for something better in us and not to settle for less. Thanks for posting this!

this is SO 'funny'. just last week I was skyping with one of the photographers in my wonderful network of danish wedding professionals – whose work actually that day made me cry because it was just SO beautiful (:http://blog.amandathomsen.com/2012/07/thomas-majbritts-wedding/ ) and artistic and emotional and and and. It made me feel SO inadequate, so talentless, empty and superficial, and that I'm just shooting 'pretty' pictures. I felt like giving up. I don't think we can ever look at our own images the way we see others'. Because to us our own work will always be normal, the 'standard' because that is what we look at every day, all day…

If just a pretty face do not make you a rock star, then being just an artist doesn't make you a business women. And you are BOTH and Artist and a Business Women (with capital letters)….and you ROCK!

Jasmine I know EXACTLY what you mean. Well, your work certainly leaves me breathless and inspires me to pick up my camera and dream…
August 23rd, 2012 at 4:50 pm
It is so weird to here you say that because the first thing I thought when I saw your work was "wow, what an artist."
August 23rd, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Your images leave me breathless. Your blog can bring me to tears. And if you smoked a clove while wearing your green pants you would totally taste like duck pate.
August 23rd, 2012 at 5:19 pm
your work – is an art and what you produce for your clients is an art. there are so many people who look at your images and think the same thing!
August 24th, 2012 at 1:08 am
Your work has left me breathless and feeling what you just expressed! Then, I remind myself that by practicing and aspiring for more will get me there! Thank you for being REAL and INSPIRING!!!

I too am a firm believer in molding yourself into the person you want to be – and that the journey there is worth so much more than the result. I think your work is phenomenal, and the personal touch that you give each shot is quite apparent (when I can see a shot and recognize it as yours without the credits there is something different about it!).
I think the real beauty of Art is that no matter who you are, or how far along your path you've come, you'll always have a vision that is better and stronger than the last – and the journey to realizing that vision I believe is not ever meant to be complete.
It's simply there for those brave enough to challenge themselves every day.

I'll have what you're having 😉 But coming from a bride of yours, I know you're Artistic and I know that your photos have the ability to make people breathless.
August 24th, 2012 at 10:46 am
Jasmine, the first thing that comes to mind is that you are making a dent.. an impression..
As somebody who inspires to be as good as you, you have altered the life of me and I know that you have positively altered the life of countless others through your ability to capture the love of a couple.. it will be those images that will stay with them long after the highs of a wedding day pass… it will remind them why their relationships are worth working hard for and that dear Jasmine is a gift…
So be Artistic, shoot for the moon and land amongst the stars.. but never, ever underestimate the power of what you do, right now.
Sending a big aussie cuddle to you from here to there.
Much love x

It is the learning we do along the way, understanding there will always be something new that changes our actions and growth. As an author and wedding coach, life would not be the same without progressive and generous photographers as I write e-books and add to our website. Thank you all.

I feel like this too sometimes. I love JD's common sense words. And I think artist's evolve creatively, and evolution can't happen unless you are out there creating. So keep creating because you inspired me to photograph my first wedding ever, and I had the courage to post it today. Yikes! That seems crazy to me!!
August 27th, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Right there with ya. I could use my own JD if you've got a spare one around…
August 30th, 2012 at 12:59 pm
I absolutely love your words – thank you for the inspiration. And that image? Gorgeous! Beautiful! Breathtaking 🙂

Holy mackerel, that "talent is nothing without ambition…and the smallest bit of talent can be carried on the wings of sheer desire and hard work" is probably the most poignant thing I've read in a long time and really hits home with something I've been struggling with lately. Thank you Jasmine, and JD for reminding me 🙂 (Also, I'm lucky to have my own JD at home who tells me these kind of things too!)

JD, so wise boyo! Good advice, thanks I needed to hear that too!

In the 2007 turnaround at the BASF FINA PETROCHEMICAL L.P. Ethylene Steam Cracker, severe damage was discovered in the cooling tower to process exchangers. Over 41 exchangers had been replaced or required total tube bundle replacement within the first seven years of operation. Several of the units had been in service for less than five years, and many required immediate replacement. The damage was determined to be Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC).
As the result of inspections performed during this scheduled plant outage, the MIC damage mechanism was identified in the cooling water system. The purpose of this paper is to describe damages found and solution methods implemented. This experience offers a basis for establishing best practices considering time and service expectations of cooling water systems.
