Life's A Beach . . . (Brittany version. . .)
While I was waiting for the white skirt in the background to do a Marilyn Monroe skit in the summer breeze, this lovely young lass in a sun dress came strolling by in bare feet . . .
A young boy in blue contemplating his future from under a sunhat, not yet aware of global warming, wars, famine, terror, sexually transmitted diseases, and so forth. On the cuteness scale, what rating would you give him ?
An industrious young lad clad in blue was taking the first steps in building an empire . . .
There were bouncing babies in striped suits . . .
I couldn't help but notice that there were a few bathing beauties in the chilly Brittany water . . . (approximately 18° C or 64° F) Good for goosebumps ! But actually very refreshing to swim in once you get over the initial bracing shock of entry . . .
In case you hadn't seen it in the news, there will be a new Olympic sporting event at the 2012 Olympic Games, it's called : Synchronized Sunbathing . . . These two were working hard on their routine . . .

fabolous captures! Synchro-tanning is a sport my sister and I could excel in.
Lovely opening shot of the cabanas too.
Ciao and have a wonderful time at the beach,

The kids at the beach are all adorable! The lady in red isn't too bad either. Maybe she's La Grenouille?
It's pretty rare to be able to sunbathe in Brittany.

For someone who can only indulge in a staycation this year you've brought the beach to me... and I can't thank you enough. All I'm missing now is the ice cream with sand in it and the smell of donkey dung...! ;-)

The photos reminded me of all the fun days at the beach in southern California. Love the clear, sharp photos and the colors! The little ones are so darn cute having their fun in the sand.

Very nice photos and insightful descriptive writing. This makes a strange "through the looking glass" comparison to what we heard on the news last night. "L'attaque des algues tueuses". Cote D'Armor near Mont St Michel the green algue washed ashore is giving off sulphurous toxic fumes as it decomposes. 2 dead dogs, one dead horse, a beach goer recovering from a coma and the local government has appointed someone to take care of this problem; when work reconvenes in September! All makes your Idyll more precious, Non?

Hi Owen, nice series from Brittany. I like especially the first one - reminds me my holiday in that part of France:)
Actually when I was there the weather was perfect, but.. even on the really hot days water was too cold, brr.
Synchronized Sunbathing in 2012? I must start practicing:)
Have a great time!

Is that person with the baby not wearing pants?!!
Looks lovely, I wonder if the water is any warmer than ours? (which is bloody freezing! STILL).
Random fact: my mother nearly drowned in a Brittany beach incident.

Love the first shot with the glimpse of beach life and sea between the two huts. The contemplating little boy I'd give 9/10 he's possibly contemplating his nappy situation*!*

I'm just back from the beach on the Med coast (Cavalaire) and I can tell you there's something to Brittany beaches that you don't see over there. Maybe it's the lack of crowds (you actually have room to lay your beach towel in Brittany) and also the way kids are dressed (definitely smarter in Brittany...
I'm actually off for a few days on the southern Brittany coast tomorrow (la Trinité sur Mer). Sorry if I don't comment for a while again. Rest assured that I will read the backlog of older posts when I return, like I just did now. Loved your post about the life savers in sewage waters, the party at 524 Blogland lane and the lovely room with sea views!

65 degree water!.... that's bath temperature over here!... that's a higher temperature than it is outside here at the moment!... "colours bathed in sunshine"........?????? what does that look like again?... it's only colours washed out by rain here... *moan, moan, moan, moan, moan.. whinge, moan, grumble, mumble.. blaaahhhhhh.... :-D

Yay, I WAS NOT the first one to question if that person with baby was wearing pants! Phew. It's getting so hard to be the good kid.
Great photos Owen, I saw some blossoms on trees here the other day and I can almost feel spring approaching - your photos fast-forwarded me to summer!

Bels instants de vie que tu as capturés. J'adore MM junior et l'arrêt sur image de bronzage synchronisé !!!
Bien vu, Owen !
Pour la sirène en maillot rouge, je dis "respect". A 18°C, m^me pas sûr que je mette les pieds dedans !!! Dimanche, je me suis baigné dans une piscine, elle devait être à 36 ou 37°C... l'eau était chaude... Un secret, ne le dis à personne .. ce n'était pas en Bretagne ! :-P

Hello Owen
These beach summer shots are just lovely...you could not take them on our beaches without being stripped of your camera...maybe arrested...suspected of pedophilia or some other perversion...sad isn't it...
Happy days

Ciao Lola, you'll have to post some pix of your sister and yourself practicing for the next Olympics ! Grazie mille...
PS am still drooling over all those tomatoes and peaches...
Hi Dedene, it's not so rare to sunbathe in Brittany, as the saying goes, "Il fait beau plusieurs fois par jour"... (there's nice weather several times a day...)
PS That is not the grenouille...
Steve, the donkey dung flavored ice cream with a topping of sand is the best kind... ;-D Actually, I hate to admit it, but we've found the local grocery store here in Brittany carries Ben & Jerries ice cream... which I can't resist... so we've had an orgy of Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia... not to mention Cookie Dough... sigh... will have to do twice the bicycle distance tomorrow :-)
Hi Panorama, thanks, for me this brings back all sorts of ancient memories of summer vacations on the New Jersey shore as a kid...
Kris, thanks so much... ! I think it was Kurt Vonnegut who liked to say : "It's never too late to have a happy childhood..."
Hi Caroline, thanks for dropping in ! Blogland Lane is a looking better and better with all the new neighbors moving in every day !
Dear Technobabe, tons of thanks, glad the photos brought back some good memories !

English, we'd only vaguely heard of the incident near Mont Saint Michel, not watching too much news these days... but yeah, that does not sound pleasant for anyone, if we see any suspicious acting seaweed blooms, we'll be running for high ground ! Many things going on all around the world these days make this seem like a very privileged and precious time indeed, indeed...
Hi Joo, well, no matter how much praying and dancing we do, the water just obstinately refuses to warm up around here, so we grin and bear it. Actually, today we went swimming for the first time, and after about five minutes of hollering from the bottom of my lungs, and gasping, and thrashing about in the water while gnashing my clacking teeth, it was finally ok, and we had a lovely little dip... before going off on a sail around the bay on a small boat called a Caravelle, very popular in these parts... hope you had a fine time here...
Hey Amy, for sure 65°F water is, ummm, shall we say... BRACING !
Hi J, yeah, it wasn't until I saw the picture on the screen that I wondered if she had something on... but I suppose she did... some people go topless on French beaches, but only on a few remote or private beaches do they go bottomless too, and this is not one of them.... Glad you mother survived !!! Quite a random fact there...
Bimbim, that is a definite possibility... I was wondering where that smell was coming from...

Hey Nathalie, hope you have a fabulous time in Trinité sur Mer... better that than Trinity, New Mexico... Funny, I've met a couple of families here on the north coast of Brittany on vacation who live on the south coast of Brittany the rest of the year. People from Quimper or Lorient who come north to Morlaix for vacation time... the water is certainly not warmer here. But you are right, the beaches are not crowded, plenty of room to stretch out on towels... am going to try to see the artichoke throwing this afternoon... :-D
Oh you Wet Rained on Bedraggled Cats... surely you must have a few rays of sunlight once in a while ?!? Otherwise how could things stay so green ??? You need to learn to do the native Gaelic Sun Dance a little bit more forcefully maybe ? If not, I believe there's a ferry that goes from Cork to Roscoff, no ? Roscoff is just up the road from here, we'll come and fetch you, find a place to toss a mattress out for ya, and bring the guit-fiddles, we'll go a'buskin' in the mornin' at the local market... :-)
PS love that long stretch of whinging, moaning,...
Dear Saj, see answer to comment above, Carantec is definitely NOT a nudist beach, although as on many french beaches some people are topless... less puritanism here than in America, where a few years ago, when one of my daughters was five, we were told she couldn't swim in a Washington DC hotel swimming pool in her bikini bottom only... she had to find a top... which we hadn't packed... seriously, at five years old there wasn't alot to see there... sigh...
Hi Lynne, Nothing like a day at the beach observing the wide range of human experience to bring out the toad-wit... chuckle... such as it is... ;-D
Tag Robert, holidays are always a good time to clear out the cobwebs... must be odd living in a destination like Athens which for many people, like me, would be an ideal vacation destination... would love to fly into Athens, then take off island hopping for a year or two... or three...
Hope you move has fallen into place and you are finding new patterns of daily rituals in your new home...
Salut Arnaud ! Ahh, j'étais dans l'eau hier enfin pour la première fois... tu m'as pas entendu crié à Delhi ??? Le choc initial prvoque des cris du fond du ventre, mais après avoir gueulé un bon coup, enfin, l'eau est agréablment... fraiche. Une piscine à 35° ??? Ce n'est plus une piscine, c'est un grand jacuzzi... je n'imagine même pas !
Bonjour Nadege... in effect, one sees alot of blue and white stripes in these parts... glad you enjoyed !
Salut Marguerite ! WOW ! Thanks so much !!! Too kind ! Where did your mother's family come from in Brittany ? did you ever go to see where they lived ?
Hi Delwyn; with a reasonably long telephoto lens one can take such pictures without getting so close as to arouse reactions, most folks never even notice little old me with my camera... happy days indeed !
Hey Desi ! So you don't go swimming in the winter where you are ? I think of South Africa as being hot all year round, but that is surely my total ignorance revealing itself... would love to see the beaches on the west coast of South Africa... and keep going up the coast of Namibia. Read a book by John Gordon-Davis about Namibia that made things sound incredible... he wrote a good one about Rhodesia also... hmmm, will have to put on my thinking cap to come up with something for the Move theme... still have a little time left I guess. See you...
Techno, No, haven't seen that building yet, but it looks pretty cool, as in shady and breezy... good thing the bamboo is contained in pots, as otherwise in a garden the stuff spreads like crazy, and has an incredibly fast rate of growth...

Hi Janie, once you get in the water, it's ice, errr, nice... really, honest !
Hey Liz ! Fantastic ! So happy for you... that should help keep Tiddles in nice clothes ! Sorry you got your comment booted, unfortunately the comment box seems to have some glitches... I've had it happen enough to where now I usually make a copy of longer comments before I click on the publish button...
Hi Kline... Am enjoying, he said, between mouthfuls of hot goat cheese salad washed down with crispy white wine from Bourgogne... :-D

oh, hot goat cheese salad!!!! and how could i ever be able to write something decent now? :-) the only soothing thought is that next week i will be on holiday myself, visiting a friend in Lyon for 10 days, i can't wait!
but the entire post is so fresh and bright, so lovely lovely lovely - and i am still laughing about: "While I was waiting for the white skirt in the background to do a Marilyn Monroe skit in the summer breeze, this lovely young lass in a sun dress came strolling by in bare feet", this is just about the funniest picture description ever :-) enjoy your holiday!

Salut Roxana ! So you'll be in France for ten days ?!? Fantastic, hope you have a beautiful time... plenty of good food around Lyon, and if hot goat cheese salad is a novelty... well, just keep an eye out on the menu for "Salade au chevre chaud"... it's usually delicious... "Salade au gésiers" is great too... but anyway, I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding an abundance of good things to nibble on here... And glad you enjoyed the captions, this stuff just slips out sometimes... and thanks so much for your lovely answer to the long comment the other day... too kind...

Indeed, most ladies have been asking similar questions about the above product every now and then. In this regard, the following are some of the FAQs that would help you get some insights about the product, and at the end, you will have informed decisions.
12 Naturaful Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
FAQ #1. I recently got my Naturaful and I have been using it from the time I acquired it. However, up to now, I have not seen its results. Could I be using it wrongly?'
- The above is one of the most frequently asked questions, and that is why it is leading the pack of questions about the above product. The answer to the above question is No.' In other words, what you are doing is probably not wrong. As a matter of fact, the results of good things do not happen overnight, it has to take some time. Indeed, it can take about 3-4 weeks before you realize any noticeable changes in your body. However, Naturaful claims that the best results can be realized after about three to four months of continuous usage. Therefore, you need to be a little bit patient for the results to come over!
FAQ #2. "My breasts are saggy; will Naturaful help them to regain its perkiness?"
- Naturaful offers firming experience. However, if your objective is to make your breasts look perky again, then, the above product might not offer the best results. In this case, other products like Total Curve will do you good.
FAQ #3. "I am A Cup (small); will Naturaful make me a C Cup?"
- Well, the above question is quite common among many ladies. The truth of the matter is that there is no accurate answer to the above question. Indeed, different users of the above product have been getting different results, but the overall result is that your breast will definitely increase in size.
FAQ #4. "After ordering the above product, how long will shipping take?"
- Depending on where you are, shipping can take about two days to a couple of weeks. Nevertheless, if you are based in North America, you are more likely to get your product much earlier.
FAQ #5. "I have been using Naturaful for some time to enlarge my breasts and it has reached my desired size, now, am I supposed to continue using it or should i stop using it?"
- Ideally, Naturaful has stunning compounds that helps your body to develop new breast-cells, and once these cells have been fully developed, there is no way it can disappear again. Therefore, you can stop using the above product upon achieving your objected breast size. Nevertheless, as the aging process takes place, all your body cells shrink equally and there is no way you can do to stop it.
FAQ #6. "I am currently on a weight loss program, if I use Naturaful along with the program, will it affect my results?"
- Truth be told, the objective of weight loss program is to shred fatty body parts. Indeed, breasts are one of the parts of the body that has lots fats, and losing weight means taking away some of the fats that is required to enlarge your breasts.
FAQ #7. "I am taking some birth control pills; will it be safe if I use Naturaful as well?"
- As a matter of facts, the above question is one of the most critical questions of concern to many women. It is absolutely safe to use the above product in conjunction with any birth control methods and even pills.
FAQ #8. "Does the above cream have the ability to make my nipples grow?"
- The answer to the above question is NO.' The size of your nipples will not increase in size even if your breasts increase.
FAQ #9. "How do I go about applying the above cream?"
- Naturaful cream is applied to your skin by massaging, entirely the breast area and nipples included. You can use a blow dryer if you need your skin to absorb it faster. For better results, the same procedure is supposed to be repeated twice daily.
FAQ #10. "I am age X, will Naturaful work for me?"
- This question is quite common among teens (younger than 18) and women who are at the age of 40 and above. Nevertheless, if you are a teen, Naturaful is not recommended for you. This is because you are still young and, probably, you are at the puberty stage where your body has active hormones. Therefore, do not disturb your natural hormones. For women at the age of 21 and above, Naturaful can work perfectly. In addition, if you have had a hysterectomy, then, you are supposed to give your body some time to calm down for about two to three months. Thereafter, you are free to use it (Naturaful) again!
FAQ #11. "Is it safe to use Naturaful if I am either pregnant or planning to become pregnant soon?"
- As a caution, you are warned not to use the above product if you are or planning to be pregnant. In addition, if you are breastfeeding, then, you need not to use Naturaful since your child will be suckling unwanted substances. Wait until your child has stopped suckling.
FAQ #12. "If I use Naturaful, will it make my breasts to tingle?"
- Unfortunately, the answer is Yes.' Over 70% of Naturaful users have been experiencing either tenderness or mild tingling. The above condition is just normal and there is nothing to worry about. You just need to continue using it expecting better results. On the other hand, if you get body rushes, then, stop using the product immediately and consult your doctor for further advice.
The above are the 12 commonly asked questions about the product, Naturaful. Ideally, breast enhancement has been one of the private issues and the decision to use the above product to achieve your desired breast-size is quite commendable. After using the product, just hang in there and remain patient as the amazing results are on the way.

Tomorrow I will attend and try to contribute to a conference called Business & Pleasure in Borlänge. An initiative by Niklas Wass which connect the busniess world, culture and sport which point is to start discussions around how they more efficient can collaborate with each others in a new way.
I think more cities should try to make this kind of arrangement because the synergies that emerge are extraordinary.

BACKGROUND: Distance methods are ubiquitous tools in phylogenetics.Their primary purpose may be to reconstructevolutionary history, but they are also used as components in bioinformatic pipelines. However, poorcomputational efficiency has been a constraint on the applicability of distance methods on very largeproblem instances.
RESULTS: We present fastphylo, a software package containing implementations of efficient algorithms for twocommon problems in phylogenetics: estimating DNA/protein sequence distances and reconstructing aphylogeny from a distance matrix. We compare fastphylo with other neighbor joining based methodsand report the results in terms of speed and memory efficiency.
CONCLUSIONS: Fastphylo is a fast, memory efficient, and easy to use software suite. Due to its modular architecture,fastphylo is a flexible tool for many phylogenetic studies.

U.S. Supreme Court
United States v. Minker, 350 U.S. 179 (1956)
United States v. Minker
Argued November 14, 1955
Decided January 16, 1956
Section 235 (a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 provides that
"any immigration officer . . . shall have power to require by subpoena the attendance and testimony of witnesses before immigration officers . . . relating to the privilege of any person to enter, reenter, reside in, or pass through the United States or concerning any matter which is material and relevant to the enforcement of the Act and the administration of the Service. . . ."
Held: this section does not empower an immigration officer to subpoena a naturalized citizen who is the subject of an investigation by the Service to testify in an administrative proceeding before such officer where the purpose of the investigation is to determine whether good cause exists for the institution of denaturalization proceedings against such citizen under § 340(a) of the Act. Pp. 350 U. S. 180-190.
(a) In the clause, "concerning any matter which is material and relevant to the enforcement of this Act," the word "Act" embraces the entire statute, and may not be construed as referring only to a particular title or section thereof. Pp. 350 U. S. 184-186.
(b) In this context, the word "witnesses" is ambiguous, and it must be construed as not including a citizen who is himself the subject of a denaturalization investigation. Pp. 350 U. S. 186-190.
217 F.2d 350 affirmed. 219 F.2d 137 reversed.

In a large bowl beat the egg whites until foamy and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form. Add 1/4 of the light to the flour mixture and mix. Add the remaining egg whites.
Divide the dough into equal portions among the three forms, smoothing the light mass to be uniform. Cut the dough with a (confectioner knife spatula etc.) to break any air bubbles.

Italian Meringue:
sugar 1 cup

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar and water. Shake the pan on the burner to dissolve sugar completely. Do not touch. Increase heat and boil (235-240 degrees). Use an accurate thermometer. Wash down the inner wall of the pan with a wet brush. This will help prevent sugar crystals forming around the sides, falling in and causing a chain reaction. Prepare your meringue.
In the mixer bowl, beat the egg whites on low speed until a espeuma. Increase speed to medium and beat until soft peaks form.
With the mixer running, pour the hot sugar syrup in a thin stream. Beat until the egg whites are stiff and shiny. Spread the meringue on a hot pie or cake.

Hi everyone. Happy Monday! I guess it's still debatable as to whether it's a happy Monday, but I'm deciding now that it will be. 🙂
Today I have a card to share using Recipe for Success from Paper Smooches. The smaller sentiment at the bottom is from Many Thanks.
I really like the tiny pies in the stamp set so I decided to create my card around them. After stamping onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloring with Copic markers I added into the centers the tiny hearts, topping off each with Inkssentials Glossy Accents.
Now I have a nice little card to send in thanks after being invited for dinner by a friend or relative. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by today!

Anthem woot woot
Equilibrium replied to Deathz Angel's topic in Off TopicAside from constant load screen Anthem is actually quite fun. Go into the demo/beta with a open-mind and not a general grinders mentality (lacking content mindset) while playing free roam/strongholds. If Anthem can keep adding fresh content and seasonal challenges in free play, this will be a great fire-team game to play if your looking for something new. High tier difficulties settings will charge you if your feeling the game starts plateau, which will require you to be social to complete for better loot table. Lower tier difficulties require no communication just good/decent team work for casual players. This game has much potential honest opinion after playing VIP Demo.
Equilibrium replied to NalleKarhu's topic in Guild RecruitmentAnthem 95% Load screens ftw.
Second beta confirmed?
Equilibrium replied to xCROv's topic in General DiscussionId like to believe that. Would it be closed beta or open beta again?
Just a suggestion
Equilibrium replied to Deathz Angel's topic in SuggestionsI completely understand your frustration @Deathz Angel Even tho your request for pve / pvp servers to be separated, its only natural competition is apart of the base level concept of BDO/X. In the marketplace items and sales pricing/economy and the rise and fall of values of items obtained is a battle in itself. Grinding mobs/zones for better items to potentially help improve your characters stats or to trade-in for currency/silver will always be a contest. A good way to look at this is just to simply have multiple areas to grind in. Some area's will probably be more contested then others at certain times of the day. Grinding with a group of friends/guild members could help as well, but may attract high level trolls more then anything that simply just do not give af. I would just stay positive and there is always a way around everything. I believe you will ultimately get what you are searching for without it actually impeding/interfering with standardize game mechanic's Good luck...
Current status
Equilibrium replied to Daniel's topic in SuggestionsAnd so our wanderlust journey begins... BDX Beta launch did great, with minor game hiccups with no game breakers etc. BDX Beta ends, officially game/hype/clips/updates Die. When you Hope for something bad enough the answer in PA eyes is Nope. To be continued?...
Guess I am unfortunate in realizing your vast perspective on public forums and opinionated views/post @Fortune lol.. On that note/subject keep it real and I digress.
Who is this kid again? I didn't ask for your opinion. Direct your messages at people that actually care about what you are talking about. Thanks @Fortune Edit: Also just seeing recent post your actually just being "antagonizing" with your own views, while questioning others who obviously are firm believers of the success of this game. Granted you enjoy the game as much as everyone else. But continue to preach this word you love so much "entitlement". Freedom of Speech.
Patience within the BDX community is a courtesy not a obligation PA. Lack of information among all the false advertisements backed with evidence and promises made is saddening. The supportive tunes of committed/concerned followers that back BDX vigorous transition to console network. In-time will change into subjective protest period. Its a insult to the people that love this game to shroud small bits of information for confidentiality sake, tread lightly PA. I lurk and read a lot of post/threads, great summary @xCROv
Introduction Thread!
Equilibrium replied to [CM]Shirna's topic in General DiscussionWelcome to the madness friend lol..
Stating the obvious does not mean it was simply moving on to the next mission. Server Notice message said to simply move on and keep going. Reality NPC would not respond pass this mission quest-line for me. If you didn't have a issue then you could disregard this message. But there were some people that had this issue and I specifically just brought to light.
Trade between players on consoles
Equilibrium replied to Mary69Jane's topic in SuggestionsSo true just opens up to people getting scammed. It'll create a community of people that only play to sow discord/troll and scam new/old players out of there grind..
Official Launch Topic
Equilibrium replied to angryps4gamer's topic in General DiscussionIll suspect there silence will be golden after this OBT, while they fix issues. It ran smooth besides forward questing jam ups along with other small issues here and there. But remember the 4k settings (headache) brightness over 9,000..
GM - Advice....
Equilibrium replied to NothingnessKing's topic in Bug ReportsSorry to hear about that, indeed posting on discord in support to get attention of GM/CM is very hard with the sudden jump in-game/forum population. I had the same issue with the Event "Whoa Horsey". I participated in the first event and waited for the reward in the mail and saw nothing. I whispered/posted on discord in support/ tried to get the attention of GM/CM (Impossible) unless there actually reading. Which a lot of the times they only responded when the issue was a simple fix in the server chats. The Events were good, but toxic at the same time. If your going to do anymore future Events PA in BDX give both Winners / Losers some type of reward for participating so it does not feel like a waste of time and follow up with people. Sorry again man about your disconnect issue.
Well i can assure you i have no other quest before this section besides ( A Worry Resolved ) which is bugged just like this section. I have done all the missions and it has not been removed from the quest-log and routes my horse to that quest area when i try to do other quest. Even tho its completed. Really doesn't matter now since most of the people just gave up on doing questing and focused on optimizing and leveling. Please just fix it and not brush this issue off so lightly like others, thanks.

Urban Hillbilly
Millionaire Mayhem was the 17th episode of Season 5 of Hardcore Pawn. It originally aired on April 10, 2012.
Two days earlier, Les sent an e-mail to Seth, which included an order for a custom ring worth $20,000. But Seth overlooked the e-mail until now, leading him to rush to get the ring done as soon as possible. However, Ashley derailed the plan when she told the jewelry maker to put that on hold so that her necklace can be fixed. Seth then told the jewelry maker to focus only on the customer's orders, leading to a new feud between Seth and Ashley. Also: a woman tries to pawn a fake watch that she said she purchased from American Jewelry. A man sells a National cash register, but it not only comes down to price, but also to the money needed to buy his daughter new earrings. A man tries to sell his old CRT monitor for gas money, but when Seth said that the monitor was outdated, he refused to leave without a sale. A man sells a program for the funeral for Rosa Parks, but learns that it was not as valuable as he thought it was. A woman tries to sell a 1970 sex encyclopedia, but learns from Les that while tastes haven't changed, the method of getting pornography changed.

I presume a lot of doubts and questions will come up. There is nothing better than meeting each other and in that way, you will be able to ask me everything you want. I will be pleased to listen to you, know what your needs are, and explain my way of working.
1. 1. How long in advance do we have to book?
Almost all weddings are from April to October, and on Saturdays! There are few and very concrete days during the year, that is why the sooner you book the wedding date, the better. And it is a pity to have to say, I am sorry, that day is busy…
2.2. Do you shoot more than a wedding a day?
Certainly not, how stressful would that be! Your wedding day is unique and I owe to you 100%. I cannot be looking at the clock, because your wedding is in the morning and I have another in the afternoon, or something like that……
3. 3. Do you shoot weddings outside Madrid?
Yessssssss!!! And love it!!! Take me to the end of the world and I will be delighted to go! Not only do I travel outside Madrid for the wedding, but also for the pre wedding featured shoot, Trash The Dress…In Spain or abroad.
Fear no proposal!
4. 4. We do not fancy posing and are ashamed of…
Neither do I! Both things! Take it easy, I will not tell you to pose. My photography is based on photojournalism and what´s more, I am to photograph what happens around me, without altering or influencing in the story.
Sips better after the party!
5. 5. How long will you be taking photos?
As long as you wish. If you are the kind who wants a lot of pictures, it will take a long time. If you are the kind who wants to be in the cocktail, half an hour is more than enough. It also depends on where you are getting married, or if we have to go far for the shooting session. The time it takes to move around cannot be counted as part of the photo session, of course!
The best thing to do is to take them nearby or at the very place of the wedding feast. I feel excited with anything I see around me!
6. 6. How long are you staying at the wedding feast?
About an hour and a half since you dance together. If I see the party is not so much in high spirits, I stay until I have enough material. I do not work by the hour, but by event.
7. 7. Do we have to choose ourselves the photo album?
Yes and No. The procedure is as follows: I design an album draft and send it to you as a pdf. The designing of the draft is no laughing matter. It is thought to be balanced, and also not to miss any moments, there is a story line behind. If among all the photos I hand over, I tell you you have to choose between 100-120 for the album, Wouldn´t you go crazy? In this way, I make it easier for you and the final result of all my work is the album. It is simple, elegant, doesn´t have coloured backgrounds or strange compositions. Less is more.
8. 8. What happens if we do not like a photo from the album?
Absolutely nothing! Anyway, you can make as many changes as you wish! I give you the base and we work together as a team!
9. 9. How many photos do you hand over?
It does not have to do with quantity, but quality. However, my advice is to select at least 500 photos. All designed, high resolution photos and without watermarks. My final work is not only the photographs, but also the SlideShow. I briefly explain what it is: slides of your wedding photos, together with music. It has several uses, it can be used as your wedding summary in a more friendly way (it lasts one song) or sent it to your guests, as a way of thanking their attendance to the wedding. The best thing to do is to see one SlideShow when you come to the studio.
10. 10. Do you make a contract? Do you invoice VAT?
Of course, and this is a must do. For my professional ethics and your peace of mind. I always make a contract, with a series of clauses which determine the forms, the timing, the handing, the payments…And each one of them with an invoice. My philosophy is to keep away from so common illegal practices in my profession. I pay my taxes and social security. My assistants as well. It is the way to make sure you are hiring true photography professionals.
We have some more doubts…
Call me, send me an e-mail, come to see me and ask me everything you need to know.

Celery Jell-O and Mixed Vegetable Jell-O
We've posted some completely awful recipes and pictures of the Jell-O craze of the 20th century, although those were mostly recipes from the company. Real people make delicious and fruity Jell-O salads from sweet things like fruit, whipped cream, and marshmallows. Or at least they do after one or two experiments with vegetables in gelatin. But at the height of the Jell-O salad fad, the company made things easier with specific flavors made to go with veggies. Celery and mixed vegetables flavors were introduced in 1964. See more of the advertisements and read a couple recipes for the new flavors at ClickAmericana. Yum! See their other vintage recipes here. -via Metafilter
