Latest Lard News
Below is our complete Lard news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.
Al Jourgensen To Remain With Revolting Cocks
Following the release of 2006's star-studded "Cocked and Loaded," the Revolting Cocks (RevCo) will be releasing "Sex-O Olympic-O" on March 3rd, 2009. RevCo founding member Al Jourgensen is clearing up, once and for all, the rumors surrounding the band's future. "Much like Menudo does or the Blue Man Group, I was going to hand the band over to this younger generation of RevCo's, to Sin [Quirin/guitars], Josh [Bradford/vocals] and Clayton [Worbeck/keyboards], kind of franchise it out. I think that these three knuckleheads capture the true essence and spirit of being 'a Revolting Cock,' if you will. But, this album turned out so damned good, I think I'm going to stick around for a while."
"This is the best RevCo album I've ever done," Al continued. "As a matter of fact, I think this is the best album - including Ministry, Pailhead, Lard - anything I've ever done, period. Production-wise, song-wise, I'm really, really happy with this record. It's the first CD I've ever gotten back from the mastering studio that I didn't have anything to bitch about. No complaints. I listened to the whole thing and just went, 'OK, that's a wrap. Let's go'!" More...

Ministry Frontman: 'We're Going Out With Class!'
While some of us don't even know what we'll be doing next week, Al Jourgensen has the next two years of his life all mapped out.
Last week, Ministry's final studio opus, The Last Sucker, the scathing third installment in Jourgensen's trilogy of LPs attacking President Bush's administration, landed in record stores. In March, he'll hit the road for the last time with Ministry, the band he's fronted since he formed it in 1981, for a tour that will last five months. But before that, he has to hit the studio and record Got Co--?, the studio-album swan song from his side project the Revolting Co--s. In October, the Co--s will head out on what will be their goodbye tour, with openers Prong and Mob Research, the latest signing to Jourgensen's label, 13th Planet Records.
"I am systematically going through and putting all of my side projects to bed over the next couple of years, and then, I'll strictly concentrate on production, running the label and doing soundtracks and a lot of other weird stuff," Jourgensen said, adding that there will be future, all-culminating collections from Lard and Pailhead too. "Then I'll do Buck Satan & the 666 Shooters, a country record I've been talking about for 20 years — once you see the Buck Satan album come out, then you know I'm completely done recording."
After that, Jourgensen said he'll finally get a chance to relax.
"I'm an all-or-nothing guy," he explained. "When I'm working, I work, work, work, work, work, and when I'm not, I'm the laziest sloth this planet has ever provided us. In about two or three years, I'll go full guns, but then I'll sit on my porch with a shotgun and my hound dog and chase kids off my lawn. I'll just sit back, in my 'Sopranos' bathrobe and slippers, going out to the mailbox, picking up checks and kicking back."
But why put Ministry on the slab after all these years? Well, Jourgensen doesn't think the Republicans stand a chance in the upcoming elections, and when there's a Democrat in power, "I think we suck," he admitted. But much more than that, he wanted out before he was dragged out.

My friend Rahul took this picture. He is a designer who does some excellent work, which you can see here:
I was inspired by this photo, so I decided to manipulate it in a style reminiscent of Rahul's. So, with the magical assistance of photoshop, here is the result.

The Lock Smiths
I had access to a really sweet camera for a short period of time a few months ago and took some pictures on Granville Island. I took quite a few close up shots of random objects. Today I came across a picture of a lock that I'd taken that day and decided that there should be a couple of lumberjacks trying to break into it.

Kurt, I'm from Oregon but I moved to southwest Florida to do a church plant 26 yrs. ago under the sponsorship of the Mennonite Church. www.capechristian.com is the website. It's been a wonderful journey! This phase is even more fun now to see all the fruit of raising up young leaders to take it on into the next generations! Amazing experience. I'm still a part of it in a leadership role but not the point leader now. It's a wonderful experience like parenting! You birth it, help to shape it and guide it but it develops into adulthood and you get to see your DNA but yet it is a totally unique creature of its own! I wouldn't trade it for anything!
@299c8bd5b7e81983d238f3c544e57780:disqus , thanks for the encouraging comment! Seriously, its exciting to hear about the church planting journey from seasoned saints. Thanks for leading the way forward for my generation.
Nice, very nice.
Little Flowers Community – http://www.littleflowers.ca – formed almost by accident. A few of us decided to intentionally engage in our community through a third place used bookstore we started, which led to connecting with neighbours, which led to regular meals/potlucks at home, etc. One day one of the folks approach me and said, "Jamie, I think we're a church. Will you be our pastor?" After some prayer & partnering (Menno Church Manitoba), our church was born.
You'll read more about it when you get to my book, Kurt. 😉
Very cool to hear @9e8390542179c9cc76df7a0fd9201281:disqus ! PS – I was with Tom and Christine Sine and he had a copy of your book to hand to my mentor. I said "He's a friend of mine!" Very cool.
I'm so excited for this series, for your wife and you, but mostly I'm excited for Seattle! There is such a deep need for the church -the Truth- you will bring there. I can't wait to support, pray, and follow you on this journey! Yay:-)
Kurt, your story and heart sound identical to mine. I feel so drawn to church planting. Cant wait to hear more about what is going on.

Hearst Incident Frightens 49ers
August 24 2002
By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise
THIS CONTENT IS COPYWRITED, REDISTRIBUTION OF IT (including copy/pasting it to a message board, forum or bbs) IS PROHIBITED AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS - feel free to quote up to 1 paragraph providing a source link to http://www.49ersparadise.cjb.net is included
In Thursdays practice Garrison Hearst went down, and for a moment the 49ers were really concerned. While in practice, Hearsts surgically repaired foot was stepped on. Hearst was immediately attended to by the training staff. He along with the staff determined that he was ok.
When Hearst returned to the morning walkthrough, the 49ers let out a collective sigh of relief. Hearst was also able to participate in the afternoon practice.
The incident was the first real test as to how far Hearst has returned from his series of injuries. He played all of last season, and was in his share of physical competition, but nothing really tested whether the foot would hold up. Hearst can now rest assured that his body has healed. He can put the past behind him and look forward to another great season.
Further - Receiver Jeremy McDaniel has practiced with the team twice and will see some action versus the Raiders. He is reportedly, an excellent special teams core player, who has been recovering from May hernia surgery.

Although inscription a Will yourself is possible, roughly it is not suggested. Due to potential pitfalls and errors, plentiful same shorthand Will are not reasoned. However, in legal proceeding of emergencies, it is greater to quit a unadorned Will than not to give up your job any Will at all. At lowest you Do have whatever documents expressing your design.
Bear in mind, unlike countries have divers sacred text regarding Wills. In several countries, even nothing like states have somewhat differing regulations. The fundamentals of any Will essential be location. Here are the tips for authorship a Will yourself. It is a guide you can use in an emergency. They are for countries that use English rife law.
Here are the definitely minimum items in a Will. Otherwise, your Will, will not be logical.Post ads:

1. Date. The Will must be unstylish apparently. Without a date, the Will is of no use. The twenty-four hours is used to find out which Will takes high status.
2. Opening grammatical construction to determine yourself. This includes name, individuality paper and address.
3. Appointing fiduciary and trustee. Name the person, once again brand name their identity open. There could be more Joe Black, so some comprise of determination is needed.Post ads:

4. Distribution. Who gets what. You power poverty to stipulate unmistaken items to organism. If you are in a rush, you might right privation to pass everything to one or two cause.
5. If you have children, you may want to choose guardians. This is thing you should not do delicately. A individual power not poorness to be laden near your offspring. Or they lately can't switch family. It is enhanced to supervise beside them.
6. Residual clause. This is to return thoroughness of your wealth that you did not try out in the dispersal preceding. A lingering grammatical construction is immensely exalted because if you forgot to undertake items, it acts approaching an comprehensive construction to insure your possession are low-density. Otherwise, location will be incomplete intestacy.
7. Attestation. This mode subscribed and bystander by others. We see video Wills on TV. Something on unsubstantial is e'er better-quality.
Many countries don't let video recordings as a Will. As noticeably as possible, characters a Will yourself is not something you should do. Most culture should author a Will. The stairs preceding are in lawsuit of final infinitesimal emergencies, look-alike you are active for medical science twenty-four hours and had no instance to contact a professional.

This space should be filled with the glowing review of The Global Dressage Forum-North America that took place last week: it was a meeting for lovers of the sport, the horses, the principles, the WHY of dressage. Soon, this space will be so filled..
But the overriding principle for horse sport, at this Forum as elsewhere, must always be, 'welfare of the horse.'
And in that spirit– and in memory of all the nameless, unknown horses who suffered heart attacks, fractures, and other life-ending and competition injuries on various endurance tracks around the world but mostly within one FEI Region which must go nameless so as not to sow discord—
here once again is a link to one of the few images/videos we have of truly perverse sport:
And what bothers me most is not this one horse but rather our International Federation's almost non-existent response, so busy are they handing out yellow cards, etc., for improperly strapped helmets. It is as though welfare of the horse is the least of their concerns.
So as not to heap all negatives on one organization, the recent shenanigans in Florida prove that USEF does not care much about the health of its horse shows or the competitors, at least in dressage.
Ironic, considering that USEF (U.S. Equestrian Federation) was born as AHSA (American Horse Show Association) , devoted mainly to the governance of horse shows. In the ensuing battle to lead horse sport in the U.S., the high-performance USET (U.S. Equestrian Team) fought with AHSA and eventually won the right to rule, thus creating umbrella organization USEF.Which leads to this:
Basically, the U.S. has a 75-mile rule that requires that much distance between CDN dressage shows on any given day, so as to give organizers and riders the best advantages for competition. There is also another USEF rule, however, that allows an approved CDI to add a CDN to its prize list, no matter what the distance from another already-approved national dressage show.
In the battle for not merely supremacy but monopoly that is South Florida, one organization has tried to be given all dates and put all competitors out of business—both by invoking the mileage rule for one of its shows AND filing a formal complaint to suspend the mileage rule for another of its shows.
How can it be good for competitors, let alone the health of competitions, to only have one venue available for all shows?
How can it be good for horses to have organizations whose understandable worries about lawsuits and income seem to have replaced the need to always keep paramount the welfare of the horse?

When Did Poh Turn Into Australia's Version Of Jamie Oliver?
Poh from Masterchef appears to have turned into Australia's version of Jamie Oliver and no I am not talking about gaining a gut and getting snarked for it by Curtis Stone, she is using her fame for good rather than evil.
She has a new show called Poh's Kitchen Lends a Hand starting on ABC1 on 11 September at 8pm.
See the promo below but she highlighting people are disadvantaged and using food as the common denominator. She talks about the aim of the program on ABC blog here.
She is not the only Masterchef alumni kicking goals Aaron Harvie, Alana Lowes and Skye Craig have new TV shows. Both will be on TEN. TV Tonight reports Alana and Skye are teaming up with Scotty McCrae for a travel food show called A Taste of Travel, and Aaron's is called Love To Share.
Both will start on the 15 September with A Taste of Travel on at 3.30pm with Love To Share following at 4.00pm. It appears none of them will be doing much cooking.
What I do know is Skye and Alana got the better show as they will be travelling throughout Australia and the world, whereas Aaron filmed his in a Melbourne studio.
And finally Amina from series four of Masterchef has joined Woman's Weekly. Woo hoo!

Poh's new show looks amazing! Very Jamie Oliver indeed!

While I like Poh, I don't buy the Jamie Oliver link, as she's not got much in the lovely jubbly department.

Skye, Alana , and Poh.
Good news. It has to be better than copping an eyeful of Julie Goodwin recycling old Women's Weekly dishes on the Today "show".
Fair call, Boner. Jamie's got bigger boobs than Poh.

General Motors is beefing up its workforce as it prepares to build the new Chevy Bolt and another as-of-yet unnamed vehicle at its Orion Assembly plant. To that end, the automaker announced today it plans to hire 300 people and invest $245 million to launch what it calls "an all-new vehicle program unlike any in the plant's 32-year history."
"Orion Assembly is a breeding ground for manufacturing innovation," said Cathy Clegg, GM North America vice president of Manufacturing and Labor Relations. "It serves as a model for how to engage the entire workforce at all levels to achieve success. The plant is up to the challenge of building this brand-new product, something it's never seen before."
The news follows GM's announcement earlier this month that it would lay off 100 plant workers by the end of the year due to slow Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano Sales. GM reopened the previously idle plant in 2010, in effect raising it from the ashes following GM's 2009 bankruptcy. Since then, the automaker's invested $962 million in the plant.
The latest financial infusion comes just seven months after the announcement of a $160-million investment to launch Chevrolet's Bolt EV, which is expected to get more than 200 miles of range on a single electric charge. The Bolt is scheduled to hit showrooms sometime in 2017, which means much of the new tooling and equipment needed would likely be installed next year. It will be priced at about $30,000 after a $7,500 federal tax credit.
GM touts its Orion Assembly plant is being unique, in that its culture encourages employees to offer solutions to problems. For example, a team of hourly, salaried and skilled trades' workers from the paint shop recently developed a process monitoring tool for robotic paint applicators that alerts operators to potential failures before they happen. The innovative approach to preventive maintenance is now being applied to other GM manufacturing sites and will help avoid millions in cost annually.
"Orion is an example of what we can achieve when we work together," said UAW Vice President Cindy Estrada, who leads the union's GM Department. "Only through innovative problem solving were we going to see this plant succeed, and this new investment is proof of that. UAW-GM continue to show the world that when you involve both workers and management in the process, workers win, management wins and our communities win."
As for the second unnamed new vehicle that will be built at Orion, Chevy says it doesn't want to give that surprise away yet for competitive reasons.

Fred Perry
The Last British Man To Win Wimbledon (copyright everybody) can be evoked in many ways. A simple name-check is most common, although a cut-away shot of his statue in the grounds is becoming increasingly popular. Watch out, too, for the following phrases: "76 years", "long trousers", "wooden rackets", "latest collaboration with the designer Raf Simons".
The hangers-on
Among the dignitaries in the Royal Box will be Pippa Middleton's sister Kate and Alex Salmond, the batrachian first minister of Scotland. Also attending is David Cameron, gallantly facing down our nation's many problems by spending a day at the tennis. If Murray hadn't made the final, you can bet he would have sent Clegg.
Murray's box
At times the BBC's Wimbledon output appears to constitute live coverage of Murray's family populated by occasional outbreaks of tennis. By now you should be thoroughly familiar with the faces of girlfriend Kim Sears, mother Judy, brother Jamie and coach Ivan Lendl, as reliably inscrutable as ever.
Federer's box
Given that her husband is the most successful tennis player in history, you wonder why Mirka Federer always looks so worried, whatever the state of the match. Perhaps anxiety is a long-standing cornerstone of their relationship; when she met Federer, after all, he still had a ponytail.
The crowd
Last August, in the aftermath of the riots, images of offenders were widely distributed by police in an attempt to bring them to justice. With that in mind, if you are at the match and see anybody shouting "Come on, Tim!" do try and capture a photo of them, so similar punishment can swiftly be meted out.

A cute sequel to Click, Clack, Moo. Always fun to read aloud to kids!
It was so funny, particularly, the end of the story. More importantly, the end is not so clear, and the reader needs to understand why farmer Brown gets mad.
SOOOOO FUNNY! Love this book! Great for all ages. Love the whimsy and how the kids still get to learn about the farm animals.
Farmer Brown is going on vacation. He leaves his friend Bob behind to keep an eye on the farm. Farmer Brown leaves plenty of notes and warns him to watch out for Duck who is a trouble maker. Duck finds the pencil Farmer Brown drops and replaces the notes with ones of his own including telling Bob that Tuesday is pizza night. Bob follows all of Ducks "instructions" until Farmer Bob calls to check in and Duck answers the phone. Realizing that Duck is upto his tricks again, Farmer Brown races home early.
The illustrations are fun and colorful with plenty of smiles and smirks from the animals.
In this sequel to Click Clack Moo, Duck is completely in charge, I suppose because he is the one who can write. There is no participation from the ther animals other than enjoying their treats which takes away from the story. And although this story was cute and funny, it did not have as much zing as the first one. Young children will enjoy the humor of a duck being in charge.
i thought it was funny when the farmer got mad!
A funny, clever book about what happens when Farmer Brown goes on vacation and Duck gets hold of a pencil. Part of the Click, Clack, Moo series, so this one is fun for the kids and parents.
Farmer Brown is away and the animals decide to play.

Every bus transport service comes with an explicit time schedule which they try to follow. It isn't that they're never late, but that never extends an hour or so. Once you know the proper timings of the bus, it is simple to obtain it.
By using the most recent technologies like the GPS and the traffic tracking system, some bus services offer full safety for the passengers.
Many reliable and safe bus transportation services, especially the chartered ones provides television and very good music player towards the tourists to provide enjoyment throughout their journey.

Appointing modern fuel efficiency technologies helps in decreasing the fuel consumption and emission and works as anti-pollution equipment.
The buses are quite cheaper than any other private and public transport service.

U.S. says it, allies to do more to combat Islamic State
STUTTGART, GERMANY: U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Wednesday that Washington and its allies had agreed to do more in their campaign to defeat Islamic State.
He made the comment following talks in Germany with defense ministers and representatives from 11 other nations participating in the alliance.
He said the United States greatly regretted the death of a Navy SEAL in an attack by the jihadist group in northern Iraq on Tuesday. He named the man as Petty Officer First Class Charles Keating.
"These risks will continue… but allowing ISIL safe haven would carry greater risk for us all," he added, using an acronym for Islamic State.
"…We also agreed that all of our friends and allies across the counter-ISIL coalition can and must do more as well, both to confront ISIL in Iraq and Syria and its metastases elsewhere."
The talks included ministers from France, Britain and Germany and were planned well in advance of Tuesday's attack, in which Islamic State fighters blasted through Kurdish defences and overran a town.
The elite serviceman was the third American to be killed in direct combat since the U.S.-led coalition launched a campaign in 2014 to "degrade and destroy" Islamic State, and is a measure of its deepening involvement in the conflict.
Offering new details about Keating's mission, Carter said the SEAL's job was to operate with Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga forces to train and assist them north of the city of Mosul.
"That part of the peshmerga front came under attack… and they found themselves in a firefight," Carter said.
In mid-April the United States announced plans to send an additional 200 troops to Iraq and put them closer to the front lines of battle to advise Iraqi forces.
In late April, President Barack Obama announced he would send an additional 250 special operations forces to Syria, greatly expanding the U.S. presence on the ground there to help draw in more Syrian fighters to combat Islamic State.
Carter said the risks extended to pilots flying a U.S.-led campaign of daily air strikes. "Every time a pilot goes up in an airplane above Syria or Iraq they're at risk," he said.
The Islamist militants have been broadly retreating since December, when the Iraqi army recaptured Ramadi, the largest city in the western region. Last month, the Iraqi army retook the nearby region of Hit, pushing the militants further north along the Euphrates valley.
But U.S. officials acknowledge that the military gains are not enough.
Iraq is beset by political infighting, corruption, a growing fiscal crisis and the Shia Muslim-led government's fitful efforts to seek reconciliation with aggrieved minority Sunnis, the bedrock of Islamic State support.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased burden for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Multifactorial interventions are necessary to reduce the CV risk in T2DM. Bariatric surgery appears to be an alternative for the multifactorial intervention in T2DM associated with obesity. Data have shown, that clinical trial aiming at the control of CVRF in T2DM may not translate in the reduction of CV events.
Hypothesis: Intensive medical treatment (IMM) including Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP) could be superior in the control of the progression of subclinical atherosclerotic disease, as evaluated by carotid ultrasound, in subjects with T2DM and a BMI between 30.0 and 34.9 kg/m2.The primary aim of the study is To compare the effects of intensive medical treatment (IMM) including Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP) and IMM alone on the progression of the carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) at 24 months after entry into the trial relative to baseline.Methodology: Two-year Randomized Clinical Trial, including 240 patients

PRT: administration: claims - claim periods
For Schedule 5 and 6 claims the expenditure claimed must have been incurred in the claim period for which the claim is made. See OT14510 re the meaning of incurred. The first claim period for a field is defined in OTA75\SCH5\PARA1(1)(a) as, depending on the election by the Responsible Person, either
- The period ending on 30 June following the determination of the field including an unlimited time prior to that determination; or
- A similar period to that in a. but ending on 31 December following the determination of the field.
Subsequent claim periods are for twelve months following the last preceding claim period subject to the Responsible Person's right to elect for any particular claim period that it should be of six months rather than twelve months duration. Elections relating to the duration of claim periods are to be made in writing to LB Oil & Gas (acting for the Board). There is no specific form nor is there a statutory time limit for making elections, but effectively the time limit for making claims under OTA75\SCH5\PARA2 operates as the constraint. In practice the submission by the Responsible Person of a claim on which the claim period is shown as six months may be accepted as a de facto election.
Interaction - Chargeable Period and 12 month Claim Period
Except for the first, Chargeable Periods are always of six months. There can be some administrative difficulties where the field has started production and claims are still made for twelve months. In these circumstances chargeable periods forming the first half of the claim period will be assessed before any claim for the chargeable period expenditure can be made. This assessment will include 5% provisional allowance and give oil allowance in priority to expenditure.
Assessing is not delayed, since the only alternative, assessing after receipt of the claim, would result in expenditure incurred after the chargeable period (i.e. in the second half of the claim period) being allowed for a period before it was incurred. The same approach is adopted when bringing assessments up to date - resulting in some assessments being given oil allowance in priority to expenditure.
Problems may arise particularly in relation to the net profit period. FA81\S111 (see OT12650) denies supplement for expenditure incurred after the end of the chargeable period which is the net profit period. Identifying this period, and the expenditure incurred in it is made difficult where there is a twelve month claim and particular care will need to be taken.
The assessment for the 1H01 chargeable period is made, and that period is the net profit period. Subsequently a claim is made for expenditure incurred in the 12 month claim period to 31 December 2001.Enquiries have to be made to discover what expenditure in the claim period was incurred before the end of the six month chargeable period to 30 June 2001, and what before the end of the six month chargeable period to 31 December 2001.
This information will enable the Inspector to check whether the 1H01 net profit period is deferred when account is taken of the expenditure incurred to 30 June 2001 (see OT12700). If the net profit period remains 1H01 the Inspector will have to ensure no supplement is allowed on expenditure which falls in the last six months of the twelve month claim.

Destination Weddings in Jamaica by Ambiance Studios llc Photography
Scott & Cathy, WI Wedding Photographers0 comments Blog, Destination weddings, Professional Development, Weddings
View Joe and Cherise's Wedding Album of their Destination Wedding in Jamaica
I wanted to post something for any wedding couples planning their wedding and all of our photographer friends. Scott and I just returned from Jamaica; doing a destination wedding. Something important I think couples need to be aware of if they are planning on just having just the photographer from the resort. Most times your only going to receive formals of your day with some pictures of the ceremony. Also the equipment is very important. On our recent trip to Jamaica, the Bride and Groom told us they had a photographer included but were planning on telling him they didn't need him. We told the couple to tell the photographer to go ahead and still take the pictures. Why not; its more pictures for them. Well; the equipment he had was nothing special. To be honest, when we spoke to the wedding couple, Joe and Cherise recently and asked them about their pictures they told us they didn't even bother picking them up. They weren't impressed by him as well with his equipment or anything he did. They had 8 free 8 x 10's coming and didn't even what them for free.
This should at least give any upcoming wedding couples something to think about if your planning a destination wedding. You defiantly want to bring along your own professional photographers to cover your special day. When Ambiance Studios llc Photography shoots a Destination Wedding; the couple will automatically receive 3 days of coverage from Ambiance Studios llc Photography.
The Day Before, covering an intimate engagement session of the two of you and your rehearsal and dinner and some photos afterword's of you and your guest . We also went to the Dunn's River Falls with the wedding couple earlier in the day with all their family and guest. Capturing them going up the falls together hand in hand like a human chain. Adding that to their story into their wedding album. Priceless ….its a keepsake for all of their family and guest as well.
The Wedding Day, starts with you getting ready, all the details of your whole day from beginning to end, including a private session of the two of them for some fantastic images at sunset.
The Day After can be done at sunrise or sunset the next day; or 2 days later is sometimes preferred so your not getting up early the day after your wedding. The couple chose sunrise; these are some of their favorite pictures as well as mine. Then to complete this session Joe and Cherise jumped into the infinity pool. It was comical to watch about 20 by standers watching at 7:00 am in the morning … gasping …holding their hands over their mouths … their not going to jump into the pool and get her dress all wet before the wedding are they … not realizing that they were already married. They were the talk of the day; you could hear people talking about what they'd seen to other quest the rest of the day. The couple choose 2 images from the day after session / Trash the dress session for their thank you cards.
Scott and Cathy Ann Erickson of Ambiance Studios llc Photography will tell the whole story of your event, not just traditional pictures. Of course your family and friends will also want some special pictures of themselves, and that is included as well. There is much more to shooting a wedding then just the traditional pictures. With all the special equipment and gear, as well as lighting and techniques used are important; as well the knowledge of your photographers. We are always updating their knowledge and equipment to give you all the newest craze and technology available to our clients. We will also research the area for many different photo opportunity ideas to give you something extraordinary, above and beyond; telling your story so you can relive your wedding in much more detail.
Another fantastic idea; is we can print pocket sized mini albums that are identical to your wedding album and you can send them out to your all your guest, all your family and friends. Its a nice keepsake for them as well.

Tonight was the Wolf Moon, as I just learned thanks to Twitter, so I put on some gloves and grabbed my tripod and took my camera out onto the back deck.
I'm still learning photographic tricks and I'm still learning my camera, but I'm pretty happy with this one, all things considered! And by "all things" I mean that my tripod was balanced on three different objects and I was perched on a stool and it was freezing cold out and I had gloves on and couldn't see any of the buttons on my camera so I kept pressing the wrong ones. LOL!
We're supposed to get a bunch of snow tomorrow so we're cuddled in hoping to stay warm, and the fridge is stocked ! Have a great weekend!

|Diseases and Conditions
|Diabetes mellitus, Diabetes
You cannot make yourself get diabetes just like that. It has multifactorial causes. So we cannot say what factor might cause for you. Diabetes, can come to you specially if you already have a family history that predisposes you to it. A sedentary life with a poor diet, or being overweight can contribute to acquiring Type II Diabetes. As far as hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar is concerned. Just by skipping a meal your blood sugar can come down to hypoglycemic levels. But do not try this, sometimes it can cause complications.
i am hypoglycemic and i want to know if i can lose weight and i also need to know what foods to eat

Fans of the boyband Eton Road should make a note in their diary as the foursome are this year's special guests at the Crosby Christmas lights switch-on on Friday, November 30.
The boyband shot to fame after lighting up screens as contestants on ITV1's XFactor.
They appointed new band member, former Sacred Heart pupil Markus Collins, last month.
Now the band, which also includes members David Health, from Bootle, James Edwards and Daniel Morris, are gearing up to perform some of their most popular songs at the switch-on.
Markus, 19, who lives in Rimrose Valley, said: "We're very much looking forward to it. I go to the switch-on every year with my family and this year all our families will be turning out.
"It's lovely to be asked to switch on the lights in Crosby. I used to stand and watch others singing Christmas songs and I thought I would love to do that."
He has been delighted with the attention and support from fans since he joined the band.
Look out for the Crosby Herald staff at the lights switch-on! They will be handing out balloons and free festive chocolates!

Researching applied improv – a project for 2014
Even a cursory look at this blog will reveal my interest in improvisation. It started with Playback Theatre and ranged far and wide around different improvisation styles. Most improv happens on the stage, in theatres and bars. I enjoy this type of improv performance AND I'm also interested in how it can be applied off the stage – in communities, organisations and companies.
The biggest misunderstanding about improv is that it's all about humour, about being funny.
The biggest secret about improv is that anyone can learn the approaches that underpin it.
The biggest fear about using improv is that you'll look foolish in front of others.
The biggest untapped use of improv is helping people to do their work when they don't know what's going on around them.
The biggest question about improv is…
I don't know.
That's why I'm starting a research project to uncover some of the questions about applied improv, collect some data through interviews, identify some themes and questions that emerge from that and then see where that leads me. Maybe I'm developing a new form of research: improvised research (though most researchers I know would argue that all research is improvised). My friend Bob Dick gave me this advice: "It seems to me that researching an under-researched area is like managing complex change. I therefore assume that wherever I start will be the wrong place, because I don't yet understand enough to know where to start. That indicates that my best strategy is to start anywhere promising, and make it up as I go along."
So that's what I'm doing. I'm starting, and I'll make it up as I go along.
Feel free to add any questions you're curious about, or let me know if you'd be up for a free-ranging chat about applied improv.

Hi Viv – one possible way to start might be for someone else to interview *you* – to help you pull out and articulate some of the hunches that are behind your interest in this topic. If you're like me, you won't know everything that you're going to say until you actually say it out loud to someone else 🙂
If you'd like me to interview you over skype I'd be glad to.

Hi Viv, Stuart.
I like that idea. Who will develop the questions? Some ideas could include:
What's your experience of improv?
What do you like about it that makes it interesting to you?
What's about it that makes you feel it is useful ? (skill, understanding)
Who do you know who you admire their skills/knowledge?
What questions would you ask them?
plus: the Bob Dick approach to interviewing: Just listen i.e. Just let Viv start talking……
Good luck with it Viv, hope it goes well, Regards Martin

Hi Stuart and Martin
Thanks for your ideas – and yes, Stuart, I will take you up on the offer to interview me over Skype. Let's find a time when I get back from holidays (after Jan 10). And how's Malawi Martin? Is that where you are now?
There's been some exciting developments in my project which means I'll probably be back in the UK later this year 🙂
After a long skype chat with Rob Poynton, we agreed that we had some common ground, and might be able to collaborate in some way. The fact that Rob is based in Spain is largely irrelevant (I love this
technology age that enables me to collaborate with people just around the corner or on any other continent). Long story short – Rob, through his connections at Oxford University, has offered me a mini-sabbatical at Green Templeton College to undertake what we're calling Pathfinder Research. The idea is to help find the right questions for my research, by engaging with senior practitioners from a particular
field – in this case applied improv. This will take place in May. Rob describes a bit about this, and his other work at Oxford Uni, here http://robertpoynton.com/work-2/oxford-university/
To say I'm excited, delighted and surprised would be an understatement.

hi Viv, Thanks for your interest in Malawi. Yes indeed, that's the current Big Project. See http://www.martinbutcher.com if interested in stories – work and home.
Good luck with your BP!

AT&T Falsely Blames The FCC For Company's Failure To Block Annoying Robocalls
from the nice-tap-dance dept
Then there's AT&T.
In an interesting back and forth with the Dallas Morning News, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson joins us plebeians in complaining about robocalls, the day after Consumer's Union delivered a petition to the CEO with more than 600,000 consumers urging AT&T action. But when asked why AT&T isn't following other companies in the industry and actually doing something about it, the CEO first tried to tap dance around the question, before ultimately trying to blame the FCC for the company's own inaction:
"But didn't the FCC just give you that permission last year for phone companies to install stricter call-blocking services?Right, except that's bullshit. Again, the FCC made it perfectly clear that offering call-blocking services is absolutely no problem. When pressed further by the Consumerist as to why AT&T isn't helping consumers out, a spokesman tries to claim that the technology just doesn't exist to differentiate between legitimate and illegitimate calls:
"There will be rules around this," Stephenson said. "We don't go in and just start discriminately blocking calls going to people without their permission, without the appropriate authority. I don't want to be on the front page because we blocked somebody's call, if it was a life-saving call of some kind, right?"
"Last year, the FCC gave us authority to implement technology to allow consumer-initiated robocall blocking. However, there are no technologies currently available that can accurately distinguish illegal robocalls from legitimate calls, which could include emergency calls," reads the statement.Again though: bullshit. One, this hasn't been a problem for any other large company; companies like Time Warner Cable and Verizon that have offered such services face no such problems. AT&T also forgets to mention that it already offers a call-blocking service for landline customers (to the tune of an extra $8.50 per month) with apparently no such issues. And of course, given that AT&T was the one that effectively made mouseprint binding arbitration a permanent fixture in America, annoyed consumers wouldn't be able to sue AT&T anyway:
"In fact, many robocallers even spoof legitimate phone numbers, making it even more challenging. As a matter of law, we don't have permission to block legitimate calls – that is a violation of the Communications Act. We're continuing our work to find a solution that can identify illegal robocalls 100% of the time. Until then, we cannot risk blocking legitimate calls from consumers. But in the interim, although not a perfect solution, consumers can use apps like Nomorobo to block these calls."
"Of course, even if AT&T screwed up and deployed a horrible call-blocker that caused you to miss only important calls, you couldn't sue the company. The 2011 Supreme Court ruling in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion upheld the use of forced arbitration clauses and class-action bans in customer contracts. So not only can't you take AT&T to court if it breaks the law, you can't enter into a group arbitration with other AT&T customers."Caring about the customer in this way just isn't in AT&T's corporate DNA. Remember, this is a company in the last few years that has been fined for ripping off programs for low-income families, settled a lawsuit for helping scammers rip off IP relay services for the hearing impaired, and paid an $18 million settlement to the government after it was found to be making bills intentionally harder to understand to help crammers. This isn't the kind of company to give a damn whether robocall blocking technology is blocking legitimate calls, unless there's some undisclosed financial and marketing/robocall relationships at play that benefit AT&T.
