Letters to the Editor
Ten square questions
To The Editor:
Next week, the Parks Department will reveal to the public its revised plans for the redesign of Washington Square Park. Two years ago, during the three-month public community board review process for the redesign, Parks refused to leave a copy of the plans with the public or the community board. Parks officials have also refused to go on the record answering a single one of the questions below.
Is the object of this redesign plan to change the way people use the park and, if so, in what way?
If it could be established that an overwhelming proportion of Villagers and New Yorkers favored using existing capital funds to simply renovate and improve the park while preserving its current design, would Parks be willing to allocate our tax dollars for this purpose, make the repairs and keep the park open during the renovation process?
Since the park's central plaza has for 40 years been the most popular gathering space in Greenwich Village, and one of the world's most renowned impromptu performance and music jam spaces, why would you risk this current usage by dramatically changing its design?
How will the new design, which reduces the size of the central plaza by 23 percent, brings it to a street-level grade and transforms the fountain into an ornamental object inaccessible to the public, fully preserve and maintain the central plaza's exceptional impromptu theater in the round?
Why is the renovation of the park restrooms, which surveys show is the single highest priority for park users, not included in the budget for either of the planned two phases of Washington Square's redesign?
Will the newly designed walkways, split by planters and smaller than those there now, be able to accommodate the large number of people that pass through the park on busy weekends, and will we be able to stroll as freely in the walkway if we have baby strollers, are holding hands or have dogs on leashes? Has any independent study ever been done as to how this redesign will impact the movement of crowds and public safety in the park?
Given that more than 90 percent of Villagers prefer the park's permanent fence to be no higher than its current 2-foot height to maintain its popular open feel, why does Parks insist on a fence twice that height?
Since the park redesign eliminates all six of the park's quiet seating areas, does Parks feel that as many people will make use of the slightly expanded lawn as currently use the seating areas? Does Parks believe that people from the senior center across the street from the park will sit on the grass as they now sit in the quiet seating areas?
Has the Parks Department been "punishing" our community by not repairing the pavement, bathrooms or grass in Washington Square Park for the past two years, and does Parks believe the park is adequately maintained at this moment?
For 180 years, Washington Square Park has been publicly funded. Will this plan require the creation of a conservancy to fund the park after the renovation?

The Battle of Board 2
To The Editor:
In March 2007 a campaign was started to co-name the block on Greenwich Ave. between W. 12th and W. 13th St. "Little Britain." Even though we collected 6,000 signatures in support, on July 10, a subcommittee of Community Board 2, the Greenwich Village community board, voted it down stating, "co-names cannot be done for commercial reasons" and "a lack of historical importance."
The full board will vote on Little Britain on July 19.
Here are seven reasons why we believe Greenwich Ave. needs Little Britain.
1. To support small, local businesses by generating more customers, so that they can afford the fourfold increase in rents landlords are demanding.
2. To recognize a nationality that has been an integral part of the neighborhood for more than 100 years.
3. To support the small, local businesses that contribute to the character and diversity of the neighborhood that are being pushed out by uniform global brands.
4. To recognize the contribution Tea & Sympathy has made to the neighborhood in the 17 years it has been here 90 letters of thanks received from neighborhood organizations over the last year.
5. To create a destination for Anglophiles among the 44 million people visiting New York each year, which will benefit every business on the block which is why all these businesses have signed individual letters of support.
6. Because, to date, more than 6,000 people have voted for Little Britain in the Big Apple; one thousand of these signatures were collected in Tea & Sympathy and 57 percent of the total online signatures were New York City residents.
7. To increase the West Village's share of New York's $22.8 billion direct visitor spending each year, of which Great Britain is the top-producing nation.
In summary, while we respect C.B. 2's Traffic and Transportation Committee's vote, we believe our cause is just and that the tongue-in-cheek campaign we created is no different in principle from all political or lobbying campaigns in the U.S., in that we raised funds from a likeminded corporation. To hold that against us is, we believe, unreasonable.
Please support our campaign at www.campaignforlittlebritain.com.

The revolution is over!
To The Editor:
New York City is now a global apple in the 21st century. Why can't we act that way?
Americans pride ourselves on our country being a place of inclusiveness, drawing people from all over the world to visit and live here. A melting pot of generations of immigrant cultures and regional food is responsible for giving so many New York City neighborhoods their character and flavor.
I am shocked and disappointed that the few people on Community Board 2 have decided for all of us that some of those who come from faraway places to make New York City their home are not allowed to celebrate their heritage. These people have voted against co-naming a portion of Greenwich Ave. in the West Village "Little Britain."
As a former West Village resident on Leroy St. and, more recently, Jane St., I have been a customer of Tea & Sympathy (one of the businesses advocating for the designation) for more than seven years. It is the sole reason I have to visit this small block, which often seemed like the Bermuda Triangle with its crisscrossed streets and lack of signs. A home away from home, I have always enjoyed visiting this establishment and have marveled at how dedicated the owners have been in serving their community, especially given the high costs of operating such businesses in such a high-rent market.
Why not acknowledge these businesses by allowing them their own designation as a round of thanks for their commitment to invest in our city and to recognize their contribution in making both tourists and neighbors feel at home? The appointed not elected, mind you members of C.B. 2 have nothing to lose by allowing this street designation. Not allowing it, however, is reverting to a sort of monarchy that doesn't serve the 21st-century mentality of globalization.
Now, this decision rests in the hands of the full community board. There is still a chance to make things right.
Let's go have some tea in "Little Britain"!

Turning the tables. Ouch!
To The Editor:
Villagers should be very careful before sitting at any of the round metal tables with four chairs attached on the pier at the foot of Christopher St. If one of the curved legs of these tables is not firmly bolted to the ground, the whole table can tip over and land on top of sitters as they hit the ground in the attached chairs. After this happened to me last week, I'm very careful to check that the leg bolt is in place before sitting down in one of these contraptions.

Attention must be paid
To The Editor:
As Villagers, our plates are very full with constant and massive assaults on our precious, historic neighborhood. We have been brutalized by N.Y.U., and I'm sure they're not through. Parsons, New School, all of them are standing in line to suck up prime Village real estate.
For years, Villagers will have to confront the huge situation inherent in the evacuation and rebuilding of St. Vincent's Hospital.
The M.T.A. is searching for a location for their emergency ventilation plant from nine alternatives, including 61 Greenwich Ave.; 192 Seventh Ave. S.; 76 Greenwich Ave.; and street-bed possibilities at Seventh Ave. S. at W. 11th St. or Perry St. Depending on whether above or below ground, almost every one of these choices could have a staggering impact on my block association's area, and, paired with whatever goes on with St. Vincent's, could be a knockout punch for the area. The M.T.A. says that if tunneling fails and underground is not an option, they will then need two plants.
The loss of cabarets and piano bars is another problem. We lost Helen's Hideaway Room, a classy little supper club in Chelsea. Now, Rose's Turn, previously called The Duplex, on Grove St., is closing. This building houses the city's oldest continuous running cabaret. It was here Jan Wallman discovered Woody Allen, Joan Rivers and a roster of stars. This historic location is being converted to "much-needed offices."
It gets worse. Village cabaret icon Jan Wallman is being dispossessed from the MacDougal St. apartment she has occupied for 50 years by guess who? N.Y.U. She was The Duplex back in the early days and later ran a boîte on Cornelia St. for years.
Meanwhile, Jefferson Market Library has been shrouded in scaffolding going on five years, decaying with no help in sight while we waste time, money and thought on a frivolous plan to move the fountain in Washington Square Park, N.Y.U.'s campus in all but legality.

Temporal waveguides for optical pulses
Here we discuss, temporal total internal reflection (TIR), in analogy to the conventional TIR of an optical beam at a dielectric interface, is the total reflection of an optical pulse inside a dispersive medium at a temporal boundary across which the refractive index changes. A pair of such boundaries separated in time acts as the temporal analog of planar dielectric waveguides. We study the propagation of optical pulses inside such temporal waveguides, both analytically and numerically, and show that the waveguide supports a finite number of temporal modes. We also discuss how a single-mode temporal waveguide can be created in practice. In contrast with the spatial case, the confinement can occur even when the central region has a lower refractive index.

Harry Shearer Will Return to The Simpsons After All (Along With Everyone Else)
Fox renewed the show for two more seasons.
There was a big scare in Springfield a couple of months ago, when it looked as though Harry Shearer, who voices many of The Simpsons' secondary denizens, including Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, and Ned Flanders, would be departing. But fear not! Fox has announced that Shearer, along with the show's five other principal voice actors — Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, and Hank Azaria — will be returning for two more seasons. The two-season pickup extends the show's phenomenal run to 28 seasons (it's already the longest-running scripted show on TV). All's well in Springfield: Homer and Marge aren't breaking up, and neither are Mr. Burns and Smithers.

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
I've always been a girl's girl -- though I date and am attracted to dudes, I've always gravitated toward women as my main source of camaraderie and emotional support. Why? Because I just relate to women so much better than men, for some crazy complicated unknown reason. Erm, just kidding -- I think the reason is that I UNDERSTAND women so much better than men, being female myself. What this means: I've always had -- and intensely valued -- my tight friendships with fellow ladies (not fellow ladies like FELLA ladies, but ... yeah, you get it).What this does not mean: that all my friendships with women have been … healthy, or happy, or, in the end, sustainable. Sure, I've had my share of toxic friendships. But as I've gotten older, a pattern seems to have emerged -- I seem to be, increasingly, amassing flaky-ass friendships that started out amazing but ended up pretty much floating, on their backs, all sad and listless and tepid in the water. For no discernable reason.
I've been ruminating on these flail-y friendships lately. Why do some friends run so hot and cold? Why's it so hard for so many of us to find and, more importantly, KEEP female friends? Why are some women so weird about even having or building female friendships in the first place? (We all know -- and judge -- those women who say foul things like "I just don't trust women -- sorry, but I've always mainly had guy friends because women and jealousy and competition and they clearly all hate me and urghhhh.")
I'm still close with my best friends from college, and I'm still in touch with most of the friends I met upon moving to New York after I graduated, too. It's the friendships I made later that have proven to be more tremulous. Since moving to San Francisco in 2005, I made a bunch of new women friends, but only a few of them are still in my life in any perceptible way today. Most of them just kind of ... dried up. Faded out. No bad blood, really -- nothing explosive or dramatic happened. They just fizzled out. Sometimes I kept trying to sustain the friendship; sometimes I just kind of watched them go.
But it makes me sad. Because now I'm 36, and single, and sometimes I feel super-weird and disconnected, like I have very few people in my day-to-day life that I can actually count on, or even just call for support, or meet for coffee, or whatever. This is one of the main reasons I've been considering moving back to the East Coast (and I've been considering it for the past few years) -- because I felt like my friendships there were so much more grounded, and more genuine, and less flaky (fakey?). Maybe it really is a California thing.
Whatever it is, it feels crappy. I guess I always (mistakenly) figured that, by a certain age, the whole friendship thing would just kind of ... take care of itself. But apparently not.
Anyhow, a few questions for you people: What do you do to make and sustain friendships with other women? Does anyone else out there share my sad fading-friend woes? And do you think there's a difference in friendship quality based on where you live? (I.e., IS THIS FLAKY SH*T A WEST-COAST THING and will all my problems be solved by returning to the nice, blunt, solid coast I came from?) Please share your thoughts below.

Dr. Helgren is a Bay Area native having grown up in San Francisco. He attended UCLA, earning a B.S. in Physics in 1996, after which he spent a year working in Industry for Hughes/Raytheon Defense Systems in El Segundo, CA as a Systems Engineer. He continued with his graduate education at UCLA and focussed on Condensed Matter Physics, specializing in microwave and millimeter-wave (or terahertz) spectroscopy techniques to study the electrodynamics of materials under the guidance of Dr. George Gruner and was awarded his doctorate in 2002. Dr. Helgren took a post-doctoral position at UCSD working with Drs. Frances Hellman and Bob Dynes in the Department of Physics and his research focussed on magnetic semiconductor materials. He accepted a joint position as an Assistant Project Scientist in the Department of Physics at UC Berkeley & in the Materials Science Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and worked there until joining the faculty here at California State University East Bay.
I am currently working on a number of projects including testing methods to improve the efficiency of organic, polymer-based solar cells using nanotechnology. I am also interested in modeling and characterizing metamaterials, engineered objects that interact with light in non-intuitive ways, e.g. negative index of refraction materials.
Recently, along with Drs. Kimball and Singley in the Physics Department and Dr. Masiello in the Chemistry Department, I have obtained funding for an ultrafast laser frequency comb system which provides us the capability to perform terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of materials.

A nocturnal companion to Matheson's Tap the Magic Tree (2013), this interactive picture book illuminates nighttime's wonders while shepherding readers toward sleep.
Dusk falls in waves of pink, blue and purple watercolor; lightning bugs glow, stars twinkle and fall, deer skedaddle, constellations shine—all with the touch of young readers' fingers. Rhymes offer clear instructions: "Now let's blow a quiet breeze. // Pat the deer / and say goodnight, please." An implicit sense of power (and even a hint of magic) follows each page turn, imbuing these soft, simple collages with a quavering excitement. With a whisper, the moon appears in the (now) very dark sky—a signal that it's getting to be time for owls to go to bed and probably past time for little readers. A soothing, somnolent narrative voice nudges, "Close your eyes and breathe in deeply. / Nod your head if you feel sleepy." Caregivers will surely appreciate the suggestion, as well as the gentle lesson in preparing for and accepting sleep. More learning lies on the final page, which delivers a glossary that offers rich information about the nighttime occurrences, animals and plants featured earlier.
A delightful bedtime book that encourages both imaginative play and restorative rest. (Picture book. 2-6)

Bullet For My Valentine Start A "Riot" With New Official Video
Welsh rock band Bullet For My Valentine have released an official music video for "Riot", which comes off their upcoming fourth studio album Temper, Temper (out Feb. 12th). The album is being produced by Don Gilmore, who worked on the band's previous release Fever. You can watch the video below.
Personally speaking, I think it's a pretty terrible song. It's the same riff from verse to chorus with some dynamic shifts and then an oddly out-of-place guitar solo.

For the casual viewer, Robert Redford's talky and often stodgy historical drama "The Conspirator" -- about the woman who was hanged in connection with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln -- is likely to be viewed as merely a good film, albeit one about a great event.
For history buffs, however, its arrival Tuesday (Aug. 16) on DVD and Blu-ray is worth noting for multiple (if not exactly four score and seven) reasons.
First, of course, there's that juicy story. (More on that in a second.) But also, it's the first film from the fledgling American Film Co., an outfit "founded on the belief that real life is often more compelling than fiction." Dedicated to telling stories ripped from American history books, it takes pains to bring respected historians into the process. The goal: to make movies that are as historically accurate as they are compelling. That's tantalizing stuff to any history geek.
And despite Redford's sterile, sometimes preachy approach, the story of Mary Surratt is nothing if not compelling.
She is the woman who ran the boarding house at which John Wilkes Booth and his confederates hatched the plan to kill Lincoln and key members of his Cabinet. When federal agents scoured the countryside for Booth -- who had escaped, albeit temporarily, into a Maryland swamp after shooting the president -- officials in Washington arrested and tried everyone who might have had anything at all to do with the plot.
Surratt's son, John Surratt, who was a close friend of Booth's, would have been one of them, but he was nowhere to be found. So they settled for the next best thing: his dear, widowed mother.
Some historians -- and Redford's film -- suggest her fate might have been much different had John Surratt surrendered himself, as she probably was guilty only of failing to report a potential crime, not a capital offense. But, the feeling goes, the feds figured the wrong Surratt was better than no Surratt. So with John hidden, Mary went on trial alongside the key actors in Booth's plot.
The resulting courtroom drama is the focus of Redford's film, which stars Robin Wright as Surratt and James McAvoy as the man who reluctantly agrees to defend her. Playing out like a 19th century Grisham novel, it's good stuff, even if not the obvious choice for film timed to coincide with this year's 150th anniversary of the Civil War. That would have been the extended manhunt for Booth. But then, that story is much more well-known, and -- for better or for worse -- it wouldn't have given Redford the opportunity to drawn parallels to the modern debate over bringing civilians before before military courts, as he does in "The Conspirator."
(And maybe it's for the best: Redford does touch on the manhunt -- which, as anyone who has read James L. Swanson's marvelous "Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer" can tell you, is a story that feels custom-made for Hollywood -- but like the rest of the film, he does it in a surprisingly emotionless and matter-of-fact way.)
As an added lure to history buffs, the producers of "The Conspirator" have upped the ante for the home-video release. Among the raft of bonus features is the 67-minute documentary "The Conspirator: The Plot to Kill Lincoln."
For its first 25 minutes or so, "The Plot to Kill Lincoln" is fairly pedestrian stuff. But then, after covering well-trodden but necessary ground, it transforms into something much more fascinating as it delves into some of the lesser-known details of the case.
Not only is it a nice complement to Redford's film, it might even enhance the enjoyability of "The Conspirator" if watched beforehand.
2.5 stars, out of 4
Snapshot: A historical drama focusing on the story of Mary Surratt, who was hanged in connection with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
What works: It's a fascinating story, and the film's underwriters at the American Film Co. do their due diligence to get it right.
What doesn't: Director Robert Redford's telling of that story is sterile and often stodgy.
Starring: Robin Wright, James McAvoy, Kevin Kline, Alexis Bledel, Tom Wilkinson, Colm Meaney, Danny Huston, Stephen Root, Justin Long. Director: Redford. Rating: PG-13, for some violent content. Running time: 2 hours 2 minutes. DVD extras: Audio commentary by Redford, "The Plot to Kill Lincoln" documentary, making-of featurettes, historical featurettes. Blu-ray features: All of the above, plus a video commentary by Redford, an introduction to the American Film Co., photo galleries.

Doing a McCain to Buchanan
Is the GOP plotting to derail the Reform Party candidacy of Pat Buchanan? Former Reform Party chairman Pat Choate alerted Chatterbox to an e-mail sent out en masse by Charley Kyd, Webmaster for the Republican Party of Snohomish County in Washington state. The message was written (and previously sent out en masse) by Chuck Muth, chairman of the Nevada branch of the Republican Liberty Caucus, a libertarian group affiliated with the Republican Party. At the end of Muth's message, Kyd appended the comment, "I agree with everything he said. If you agree as well, please hurry." (To read e-mail in full, click here.) Muth--and Kyd--were urging Republicans do to the Reform Party what Democratic supporters of John McCain were accused last winter of doing to the GOP: Cross over and sabotage the Reform primary vote!
Starting July 4, the Reform Party is holding a national primary to send delegates to its Long Beach, Calif., nominating convention in August. The e-mail urged GOP supporters to go to the Web site of Natural Law Party candidate John Hagelin, who is challenging Buchanan for the Reform Party nomination, and to request a mail-in Reform Party ballot. By voting for Hagelin in the Reform Party primary, the message emphasized, the GOP might prevent former Republican Pat Buchanan from siphoning GOP votes from George W. Bush in the fall. (Hagelin would pose no threat to Bush. Although the name "Natural Law Party" connotes the conservative legal doctrines espoused by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, it is actually a leftist party founded in 1992 by followers of the Beatle-friendly Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Here is its platform.) Muth's language was urgent and blunt:
Loyal Republicans voting in the Reform Party's national presidential mail-in primary could do to Pat what Pat's been doing to us. This is hardball politics, folks. I've already requested my ballot and I suggest you might want to do the same. And while you're at it, why not forward this e-mail to everyone on YOUR list as well ... ASAP!
Jerauld Miller, chairman of the Snohomish County GOP, told Chatterbox that he did not condone the e-mail forwarded by Kyd, his Webmaster. "It was a mistake," Miller said. "Charley did not mean to indicate his official party title." Kyd also expressed regret ("I should not have associated my opinion with the GOP") and said none of his superiors knew about Muth's scheme until complaints about Kyd's e-mail began pouring in. Kyd urged Chatterbox to talk to Muth. "It's his idea," he said. "Go do an expose on him."
Muth was unapologetic. He told Chatterbox he'd sent his message out to 8,000 people, "mostly Republican activists" and "party leaders." One activist Muth talked to said he was going to download multiple copies of the Reform Party ballot and bring them to next week's meeting of the Republican Party of Clark County, Nev., in Las Vegas. Muth said he hadn't discussed his proposal with GOP leaders, but "if other GOP organizations pick up on it and wish to follow it, I think it's a good thing."
Although Chatterbox hasn't mastered the complex rules governing the Reform Party's presidential-nominee selection (here they are; and here's a Slate Explainer column written on the subject last year), it appears that Buchanan would need control of two-thirds of the Reform Party delegates to void a primary victory for Hagelin. According to Choate, Buchanan's got the two-thirds already; a June 21 Gannett News Service story by Carl Weiser says Buchanan has closer to one-third. Chatterbox thinks a more plausible candidate for GOP dirty tricksters to be pushing on the Reform Party is Ralph Nader. Nader ought to have more appeal to Reform Party types than Hagelin; indeed, he ought to have more appeal to Reform Party types than Buchanan. (Like Buchanan, Nader's an economic nationalist; but unlike him, no one's ever called him a racist, an anti-Semite, or an abortion foe.) But Nader apparently doesn't want the Reform Party nod. And besides, Republican troublemakers would probably have a hard time stomaching even a tactical vote for the founder of the modern nanny state.

The Internet has made it a simple task to find out how good or bad a hotel is before you book a room or venue. You'd think hotels would react to such online reviews by reading them and improving their service. But one hotel in New York is taking a very different approach, and charging a $500 fine for every negative review if you host a wedding there.
The hotel in question is the Union Street Guest House. It's online policy is very simple. If you book the hotel's inn as a wedding venue, then you also agree to pay $500 for every negative review anyone who attends your wedding may write. That's any negative review anywhere on the Internet. So if the wedding goes particularly badly the bride and groom may be facing a fine for thousands of dollars.
The fine can be avoided, but the newly-wed couple will need to phone up their friends and relatives (probably while still on their honeymoon) and beg them to remove the negative reviews. I suspect most would when they found out about the fine.
This policy by the hotel is clever because it is a sure fire way to protect against any negative feedback. However, it's devious and manipulative, and now it's public knowledge I'm sure Union Street Guest House will see a significant drop in bookings and probably an increase in negative ratings online by non-wedding visitors.
Union Street Guest House is clearly "doing it wrong." Positive online reviews should be encouraged by actually treating your guests well. If they are upset, deal with it before they leave the hotel. If a negative review appears, accept that happens and deal with it positively. Fining your guests pretty much guarantees they'll never return, and never recommend you to others.

That problem is campaign reconciliation -- determining which ads didn't run according to schedule and, in real time, identifying and fixing the problem. And thanks to an increased emphasis on accountability, the company is on a roll. In the past two weeks Verance signed up the largest radio network, Westwood One, and its first TV client, Court TV. Other radio networks using the service include the Clear Channel-owned Premiere Radio Network and Dial-Global.
'Digital watermark'
The technology is fairly straightforward. Agencies encode the ads they send to networks with a digital watermark that's inaudible to the human ear but can be picked up by Verance, which monitors stations to verify where and when the ad ran. While most broadcast verification give agencies all the data about what ads ran at what times on what stations, Verance only tells them when ads didn't run according to schedule.
Court TV, for example, is feeding Verance all of its ordering information so it can match up the network's invoices with buyers and clients schedules. "This is something we already did, but manually," said Debbie Reichig, senior VP-sales strategy. "It took a month or two months before people could reconcile discrepancies but now we can do it on a daily basis."
Sound like the media cops? Mr. Saslow is the first to admit such services made a few mistakes when they entered the market, going directly to clients to expose inaccuracies and inconsistencies in a campaign's flight -- which angered media agencies, who traditionally haven't welcomed third parties coming between them and their clients.
Allowing for a redo
When Mr. Saslow came to Verance two years ago, he said "the broadcaster side gave me the opportunity to hit the reset button." But a lot has changed in two years. More agencies report into a client's procurement department than ever before and staffing at the agency level has become tight. Gone are the days when an agency could float the margins or take its time paying for media. And networks are more concerned than ever about clearing invoices to get paid more quickly.
In addition to convincing broadcasters to sign onto the service, Mr. Saslow had to get media agencies to encode the ads.
"The next step is getting the broadcasters and agency buyers to sit down and agree on how they're going to use those tools," he said. "In doing what we've done, we are creating not only a business but an industry."
"For these nets to work together on moving accountability forward is a great step," said Natalie Swed Stone, U.S. director of national radio, OMD. "When one of them lags, it holds back the whole medium." Now, she said, the next step is figuring out how long networks can take to figure out why a spot didn't run and remedy it.
"Have we figured out what is an acceptable level of compliance? Not yet," Ms. Swed Stone said. For certain advertisers, such as retailers or movie marketers, fixing flight problems as soon as possible is integral.
Taking accountability seriously
But Westwood's signing on with Verance is evidence that the $1 billion network radio business is taking accountability seriously. An inexpensive way to buy a lot of reach, network radio's accountability track record has been cloudy because it relies on station affiliates to comply with orders and there's enormous volume of data associated with every campaign -- a single client order can amount to a million spots airing across hundreds of stations. In addition to Verance, Westwood One, for example, also uses RCS Media Monitors and Media Guide for broadcast verification.
While so far Verance has been working mostly with the radio industry, it is eying TV as the next potential market -- not just cable networks but syndication and owned-and-operated stations as well. Broadcast, because it involves fewer total spots, has long been considered the gold standard in matching actual ad broadcasts to client schedules.
Court TV's deal with Verance will initially involve the network and four media agencies with which it struck engagement-based upfront deals last year: Starcom, Carat, Mediaedge:cia and Magna Global.
"This is a relationship enhancer," said Charlie Collier, exec VP-ad sales, Court TV, although he said he would be "absolutely" open to using Verance with all of the network's partners.

AUGUSTA — Mainers requiring social services would get them in a more coordinated and seamless fashion, with more emphasis on their long-term and overall needs, if a plan unveiled Wednesday to restructure the state's social-services agency wins legislative approval.
The bill to be submitted by Gov. Paul LePage is also aimed at eliminating duplication and streamlining services in the Department of Health and Human Services. While it's expected to save some money and eliminate nearly 50 jobs, that is not the point of the bill, said DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew.
"The goals of restructuring are to focus more resources on the consumer, to improve front-line resources and better integrate services over the age span and across many layers of care," Mayhew said.
Officials said the proposal culminates several months of planning and has nothing to do with a recently discovered computer glitch that resulted in up to 19,000 people receiving services through MaineCare, the state's Medicaid program, for which they weren't eligible.
The sprawling department, which provides multiple federal-state services and programs to people of all ages, would consolidate the department's five programs into three to reduce administration and improve efficiency. The plan calls for elimination of 91 positions and creation of 44, for a net loss of 47 positions, some of which are vacant and others that will transition to private agencies. Cost savings are in the $500,000 range, but Mayhew said that number could change. She said no office closures are part of the proposal.
A Democratic legislator who serves on the committee that oversees DHHS, Rep. Mark Eves of North Berwick, was not sold on the Republican governor's proposal, especially given the limited amount of time left in the session to review it. The legislative session is scheduled to end April 18.
"What we don't want to see is the brain-drain that led to significant computer problems in DHHS that's called into question the competence of the department," said Eves.
The current DHHS structure dates to 2004, when the former departments of Human Services, and Behavioral and Development Services, were merged. But even after that consolidation, many of the services and programs remained in "silos," said Bonnie Smith, deputy commissioner for programs. That prompted a closer look at "how people fit into these neat compartments," said Smith.
It turns out many of the DHHS clients are served by more than one of the department's offices, which serve the elderly, people with disabilities or mental health issues, those needing substance abuse treatment, and families and children. Officials saw that many people struggling with addiction also needed mental health services. The same connection was found between those receiving elder services and disability assistance.
"Instead of fitting into one, neat compartment, it's really much more complex," said Smith. "The need for integration became apparent."
The proposed reorganization also hopes to improve the transition of young Mainers from children's services to adult services.
What happens too often now is that the state loses track of children when they approach age 18, and adult services are not told of their longer-term needs, said Smith. The reorganization would bring about a more seamless transition, she said.
In addition, contracts with service providers would be consolidated across the programs, which will reduce administrative costs and improve efficiency, officials said.

Cassandra, a mute runaway girl, takes refuge in the cemetery in which her mother is laid to rest. She is watched over by Jorge, the cemetery caretaker, an illegal alien who is committed to the restoration of a classic '60 cadillac hearse. Shore is a dynamic, handsome, and brilliant young man who also happens to be homeless. After almost hitting Cassandra in his dilapidated VW bus, he becomes fascinated by the gothic cemetery waif and attempts to befriend her. A sequence of events results in Cass getting lost.

I've been very naughty about updating this blog. Perhaps I can beg the excuse of having recently had twin daughters, but the truth is that really had nothing to do with it since they are only five weeks old and I've been a slacker for far longer. I've read so many books in the time since I last posted that I've decided to just give you the best of the books and not waste time on the ones I didn't like.
While I'm becoming more and more annoyed with the level of gratuitous violence in young adult literature, mostly because of the vast and ambiguous nature of the label young adult which puts inappropriate content in the hands of younger and younger readers, this book was a good read. Violent, but good. Not violent on the level of Hunger Games which is the very definition of gratuitous violence, but still violent.
The story is well written and engaging but the overall message is a bit disturbing. Intelligence and education make you evil. The world is divided into five factions, Dauntless who honor bravery above all, Candor which honors honesty above all, Amity which honors friendship above all, Abnegation which honors selflessness above all and Erudite which honors learning above all. Guess who the bad guys end up being? Guess who the end up being mindless dupes of the evil intelligencia?
Very indicative of a communist theory where each to his own talents and ability but that those who focus on intellect and learning are not really contributing and are embracing elitism. Remember the Chinese Cultural Revolution? The persecution of academia in Cambodia and Vietnam?
The idea that the military is the brainless arm of the elitist intelligencia is a very sad and dangerous message to be sending. Not to mention the idea that being intelligent makes you power hunger and evil.
This is Alison Weir's typical quality work. The story is well researched and Weir admits that the historical record that exists for Mary Boleyn is very thin and a great deal of the "facts" about her life are really conjecture based on biased comments by individuals who would have a serious axe to grind against any Boleyn and who are known to be inaccurate or were not contemporaries of the Boleyns.
This was a bit drier than Weir's usual work, but the subject is so controversial as to require a higher element of academic writing, especially given the fictional accounts of this woman's life that have been popularly accepted as fact.
This is an excellent little story. It's a character driven piece about a young girl in India who is one of the throwaway children of the world. Running away from an abusive home, Valli survives on the streets. But a dangerous disease is eating away at her body, one that terrifies her and will kill her if she doesn't accept the help of a young doctor. In India, even today leprosy is still a problem and its victims stigmatized as evil and unclean.
The story is well written and Valli is a well developed character that people of all ages should be able to identify with.
Bringing Up Bébé –Pamela Druckerman
Some people are bound to dislike this book because parenting styles can be a very touchy subject. Many people take it as a personal affront when someone advocates or uses a different method or disagrees with them. As mothers we tend to over react. This book doesn't criticize any method of parenting used by American parents, but tells us her experiences raising her children in France and her integration and embracing of many components of French parenting
The book is fascinating reading and I found that though I am an American, I could see the reason and the logic behind the French philosophy, a philosophy that the whole culture seems to embrace almost to a person. The idea that children need to experience controlled frustration so they learn to manage it, that they need time to be alone to know themselves and to learn to be alone comfortably, the idea of the "cadre" the structured framework of expectations and rules of the family that allow children freedom and leeway inside the boundaries set makes excellent sense.
Very well written and nicely paced. An enjoyable read with good characters. I know that sounds like a simplistic review, but what more do you need to say?
The one hundredth anniversary of the Titanic disaster looms and with it the disaster of another kind. Kelsey Tate is the great granddaughter of a Titanic survivor. Her great grandmother Adele was a power house of women in business before women were supposed to even know what business was. She built her father's company into a strong and powerful financial institute by investing in the lives and dreams of women and immigrants. Now her legacy and legend are threatened. Kelsey's father, the natural head of the company has suffered a stroke. The company is facing a hostile takeover and now Adele's very identity is being questioned. Could Adele, Kelsey's idol, be a fraud? Did she really steal the identity of her cousin who perished on the Titanic?
To find answers when all doors close around her, Kelsey turns to the one man she has ever loved, a man whose trust she betrayed many years ago in her quest to follow in her great grandmother's foot steps.
A nice, light little triple romance. This was a lovely way to tie together three shorts. When the Earl of Briarly tells his sister he's ready to marry and take a wife, she's thrilled. Then he tells her to make a list of eligible young women. Going one further his sister invites several young men and women to a house party. The Earl's sister's matchmaking brings together more than just one couple destined to be together.
There are several more- some really great, but most were series and I think I'll group them in a later post looking at some of the series I've really liked this summer.


text: 27 April 2012American model and television personality Jenny McCarthy has revealed that she relies heavily on Botox injections to keep herself looking young. The admission comes just days after revelations about music mogul Simon Cowell�s extensive anti-ageing regime, which not only includes six-monthly Botox treatments, but also sessions on an intravenous vitamin drip. In a recent interview with Life & Style magazine, McCarthy, a 39-year-old ex-Playboy model, said she recommends Botox to all her friends.She said: �I'm an obvious Botox user. I tell everyone.

Tale Of The Tape: Oakland Raiders At San Diego Chargers
Oakland Raiders
San Diego Chargers
- QuarterbackMatt McGloin continues to get opportunities to produce with the Raiders, and he is coming off a rough game in Week 15 against the Chiefs. While McGloin threw for 297 yards and had two TD passes, he also had four interceptions that kept the Raiders from climbing back in the game. McGloin needs to show he can avoid costly turnovers if he is going to be Oakland's quarterback in 2014.The Chargers are still a longshot to make the AFC playoffs, but they are moving in the right direction after their Week 15 upset of the high-flying Denver Broncos. That win at Mile High should give Philip Rivers plenty of confidence for the final two games of the season. Rivers threw two TD passes and avoided throwing any interceptions in the 27-20 victory.
- OffenseThe Raiders need a balanced attack and can't play come-from-behind football if they are going to give McGloin a reasonable chance to lead the team to a win. That means Rashad Jennings must have a solid day running the football. Jennings is quite good at making the first tackler miss. Rod Streater has become a legitimate contributor at the WR spot. He has caught 54-846-3 this season.The Chargers have had the kind of balance on offense that was missing in previous seasons. Running back Ryan Mathews is not a superstar, but he runs hard and knows how to get the most out of each run. Mathews has 1,012 yards and five touchdowns. Wide receiver Keenan Allen seems to get better each week. He has caught 63-931-7, while tight end Antonio Gates remains a good third-down weapon.
- DefenseThe Raiders have been competitive on the defensive side of the ball, although their Week 15 performance vs. the Chiefs was not their best. The Raiders rank 18th overall and ninth against the run. Middle linebacker Nick Roach has been their best all-around defensive player and he leads the team with 100 tackles. DE Lamarr Houston has 59 tackles and 5.0 sacks.The Chargers rank 25th overall on defense, but the confidence of head coach Mike McCoy's defense has never been higher after holding off the Broncos when the game was on the line in the fourth quarter. Defensive end Cory Liuget and linebacker Thomas Keiser lead the Chargers with 4.5 sacks. Free safety Eric Weddle has a team-high 97 tackles and 10 passes defensed.
- Special TeamsThe Raiders have had some problems containing opponents punt and kickoff returns and they have not gotten the kind of production from Jacoby Ford they were hoping for with their own returns. Sebastian Janikowski has struggled this year, making 19-of-27 FG attempts.The Chargers have done a good job covering kickoffs and punts this season. That's a good thing, because Nick Novak does not get their kickoffs as deep as most NFL kickers. Opponents have returned 63 kickoffs, while the Chargers have just 27. Novak has make 28-of-31 FG attempts this season.
San Diego Chargers
The Chargers have won two games in a row and three of their last four games. They are playing a solid, all-around game and that should be enough to get them a home win over the inconsistent Raiders.

The End of Boys and the Rise of Girls
A mother of boys casually predicts their limited future as girls move ahead.
Posted Oct 02, 2012
"All boys do is pee on things. Nothing good comes from being a man. Women bring good things to the world… I wanted a little Anne of Green Gables. Someone creative and good. I would love it if the next one is a little girl. Like my wife. A superstar." (A man, whose wife is pregnant, referring to their 20-month old son.)
-- quoted in Hanna Rosin's The End of Men: And the Rise of Women (2012)
In July 2010 The Atlantic published a piece by Hanna Rosin titled "The End of Men." The article got so much attention that she expanded it into a book, to which a subtitle has been added: "And the Rise of Women."
Seven weeks before the book was published, the publisher offered me a pre-publication copy, perhaps because I had written a piece citing Rosin's article. So within days there it was, staring me in the face: The End of Men: And the Rise of Women. Me, the father of three grown sons and the grandfather of three young grandsons. What were they thinking?
Maybe Google searches had automatically generated the publisher's list of who should be offered advance review copies. That could be the only reason I got one, since the piece I had written [http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/real-men-dont-write-blogs/201112/the... in response to Rosin's Atlantic article decried the defeatist and ultimately eugenic attitude toward males that she described.
When Rosin writes a book which clearly says that in this changing world men are essentially done, I feel that she is saying to me, Maybe you're a winner and your children can be too, but your grandchildren are definitely losers. So just as I felt it was more appropriate to read her Atlantic title as "The End of Boys," I see her book title as "The End of Boys: And the Rise of Girls."
Actually, while "The Rise of Women" is only her subtitle, Rosin seems much more excited by this than she is distressed by the end of men. Consider several of her chapter titles and subtitles, along with representative quotes: "The New American Matriarchy: The Middle Class Gets a Sex Change" ("Auburn (Alabama) has become the region's one economic powerhouse by turning itself into a town dominated by women."), "Pharm Girls: How Women Remade the Economy" ("In the long view, the modern economy is becoming a place where women are making the rules and men are playing catch-up."), and "The Gold Misses: Asian Women Take Over the World." ("In the latest national study in 2010, about 40 percent of mothers and fathers said they would prefer a daughter, about 30 percent said a son, and the rest said they had no preference.")
Rosin's tone throughout the book seems to exhibit little sympathy for men, or the boys who will become men, while it is filled with excitement at how women are doing. What startled me after I read her Atlantic piece, and continues to amaze me after reading her book is that both were written by the mother of two young sons (and, much less surprising, one daughter).
In fact, the dedication of her book is to the older of her sons, and reads, "To Jacob, with apologies for the title."
Apologies for the title? She should be apologizing for her barefaced delight over the growing opportunities for her daughter tempered barely at all by a recognition of the far more limited prospects for her sons.
Reading the book, starting with her dedication, was a painful and often infuriating experience. I found myself writing margin notes on every page. And I can't help but feel that Rosin is, for want of a better word, a traitor to two of her children. Rather than taking such obvious joy in how young women are doing today, she should be far more concerned about how young men are doing, what this might mean for her sons, and what we, as families and and institutions – especially schools -- might do about it. Rosin spends precious little time on this.
Rosin's book has not (yet) attained bestseller status, but it has certainly received a great deal of media attention. It has stirred some controversy, not the outrage it would have caused had she written not about the end of men, but rather about the end of women, blacks, Latinos, or gay people. In fact, suppose her title was, as it truly should be, The End of Boys: And the Rise of Girls? Would that possibly be a different story? Would that possibly upset parents (and grandparents) of boys at least a little?
And really, isn't that what her book is ultimately about? She certainly is not talking about men of my generation, or even that of my sons, who are still able to share power with women in a somewhat equal way. No, it's about the generation after them – the teenagers and 20-somethings, where on virtually every measure, females are surpassing males. And though she says little about young children, in terms of undeniable trends she is truly talking about my grandsons, who range in age from two to seven.
In a chapter titled "The Seesaw Marriage," Rosin mentions David, a 29-year-old, whose live-in girlfriend makes more money than he does, though that could change back and forth (hence the "seesaw") as their relationship goes on. David "finds the word 'breadwinner' funny." His girlfriend is "a passionate second-wave feminist, who earnestly counts the number of female executives in every office, and David is all for that." But yet he sometimes feels emasculated when his girlfriend pays for dinner.
On the next page, though, Rosin talks about the good things couples have in their more and more egalitarian marriages: "Today a married man with a college degree (only later in the book does she talk about how far fewer men are earning these degrees than women) is likelier to be healthier and have a lot more money to enjoy in retirement, thanks to his wife. He is also relieved to have a wife he can talk to about work or politics or anything else that interests him." This sounded so good that I wrote in the margin, "Yes, this is a positive thing."
But I had barely a moment to enjoy what Rosin had written, because the very next lines were these: "They should be able to tune in to the fact that the clock is running out slowly, that it's not necessarily them but more likely their sons or grandsons who will be routinely working for women."
There we are. Rosin doesn't really mince words. But what gets me, what I can't let go of, is the fact that she is the mother of two young sons, as well as a daughter. What I cannot get over is how a mother of sons can so casually talk about trends which put two of her children in a clearly "less than" position. Is this something to be happy about, that her boys will be routinely working for women? That is, if and when they work outside the home. Both in Rosin's book and in many articles there is much positive being said these days about the "stay-at-home" dad, the "househusband."
But weren't under-education, underemployment, and relegation to the home among the major motivators for the modern women's movement? Are we parents and grandparents of sons simply supposed to sit back and say to our boys "College isn't essential, but if you do go, maybe you'll meet a future doctor or lawyer; in fact, maybe you could be her secretary. And, listen, there's nothing wrong with being a househusband!"
Did women working far below their true abilities turn out to be a good thing? Obviously not. Then why should we expect it to be a good thing for men? And did "A woman's place is in the home" work out so well? Why should "A man's place is in the home" work out any better?

Evert got engaged to the Australian, nicknamed the Great White Shark, in December 2007 and the sporting couple were married in the Bahamas in June last year.
But American Evert and Norman, both 54, said on Friday that they had split, although they have pledged to remain friends.
The announcement came three days before Norman captains the International team at the Presidents Cup in San Francisco, where wives usually take on a visible role.
Evert, who won 18 grand slam titles in the 1970s and 1980s, only recently accompanied Norman at the British Open in July.
Just three weeks ago the couple were also seen together at the US Open tennis tournament in New York.
Neither Norman, who has won two British Opens, nor Evert, said whether they planned to divorce.
In a statement, the couple said: "We will remain friends and supportive of one another's family."
They requested privacy for themselves and their families.
Their split comes after Norman's ex-wife Laura Andrassy last year warned the champion golfer not to rush into marrying Evert, who was previously been married to British tennis player John Lloyd and skier Andy Mill, with whom she had three sons.
Speaking after their engagement, Miss Andrassy, who was married to Norman for 26 years, said: "If I had any advice, I'd tell them to enjoy a long period between the two marriages."
Last year, Norman took time out of his honeymoon to play the Open at Birkdale, almost pulling off the greatest win in the championship's history, with Evert walking every step of the course by his side.
In an interview this summer he credited his wife as a key driving force in his career.

Smutty Fitness: Stress and Belly
Hi Hayley!
I was just wondering if you could recommend any exercises that slim down the waist specifically (i.e. without also slimming the hips/chest)? Basically my dream body is the hourglass figure. I'm in my early 20s and my stomach is (already) very much my problem area. While I know that it's not really genetically possible to reconfigure body shape, nor to spot-reduce fat, I keep holding out the probably illogical hope that there is some exercise or even food that encourages weight loss specifically on the waist/abdomen region. Am hoping you can confirm or deny.
Thanks for your help.
I am sure you knew that this was going to be my answer but there is no way to spot reduce. Your body puts on and loses weight from head to toe, and no matter how many sit-ups and crunches you do, they will not burn the fat away from your waist line. However, all hope is not lost and there may be a way that you can keep your hour glass figure while having a slimmer waistline. In this post I am going to tell you how lifestyle changes may help reduce your problem area, but check back next week when I will show you my favourite posture and core exercises that will help reshape your body, not by reducing belly fat but by toning your abs and changing how you hold your body.
One of the main culprits in mid-section weight gain are life stresses. Back in the day, when we used to be cavemen and women and our number one stress in life was whether or not we were going to have food to eat, our bodies learned to store fat, especially around our waist line, to make sure that if we could not catch our next meal we had something stored on our bodies to keep us from starving. Flash forward thousands of years later and we find ourselves in a world where we are constantly under stress. Deadlines at work, financial troubles and relationship troubles are just a few of the stresses we inflict on our bodies every day.
What happens when we are under stress is that our body goes into its flight or fight response and releases a stress hormone called cortisol. The only time our body eliminates this hormone is when we are at rest, and if you are never resting those levels will never drop, the end result being added weight around your midsection.
So, what do you do? Relax! See where you can eliminate stress from your life. Can you cut back your workload, can you go to bed earlier or wake up later? (Sleep is the best time to combat cortisol.) Are you maybe exercising too intensely too frequently? Can you add in a weekly yoga class or try meditation?
There are also things you can do in your diet that will combat stress. Cut out sugar and stop drinking alcohol, both of which are major adrenal stimulants which causes cortisol production in your body. Add in an omega supplement, such as hemp seeds or fish oils, as omegas can help combat this pesky hormone. Take an adrenal support, add Vitamin B into your diet and cut out coffee.
When I was training for the Boston Marathon, my body was under so much stress from my 50 hour a week work load, plus my high training volume and my regular life stresses. I was at the point where I was experiencing night sweats every night and found myself so fatigued, yet unable to rest or sleep. Working less and training less were not an option but I was at risk of adrenal fatigue, so I had to take drastic measures. I cut out sugar completely as well as alcohol and coffee. I added in an adrenal support, Omegas and Vitamin B and I tried meditation. Although it was not weight gain that I was concerned about I still needed to lower the level of stress hormones that I had in my body. Take a look at your lifestyle and see if you may need to make lifestyle changes to help reduce your current stress level. This may help you reduce the abdominal fat and get you closer to your dream body. But make sure to check back next week for my exercise recommendations to help tone and strengthen your core.

Yesterday was our biggest traffic day ever... by a wide margin, after a record-setting month of August... and August is typically a slow month for content-heavy websites.
We had over 94,000 visits yesterday, viewing more than half-a-million pages in one day. Just three years ago, we would have been impressed with those stats in one week.
And as compared to the same period last year, we're running at slightly better than double the traffic of early September, 2007.

Interview with Merrill Lynch
5 RepliesJump to last post
Hello all
I have an interview with Merrill Lynch and I have to take an assessment test. I have no clue what to expect can anyone tell me what I should be prepared for?
Its a personality test to gauge your ability to interact with people, network, etc. When in doubt to what the answer may be, always err towards the response that shows you are a confident, outgoing person who loves speaking with and meeting new people, speaking in front of large groups, etc. Mother wants to know whether you will be a go getter and go meet propsects or if you prefer to lock yourself in your office and wait for the phone to ring…
I have just recently took their test. What Blarmston said is pretty much what will give you a good score on the personaltiy test. Also, they do have a math and general knowledge portion.
Brush up on basic algebra like adding and multiplying fractions, area
of a triangle, etc. You won't be allowed to use a calculator.

Top Wedding Photographer in Medway Kent UK
Family Photography Studio in Medway
5 Star reviewed on Facebook, Google & Netmums!
Welcome To Dean Osborne Photography
Thanks for taking the time to have a look
One of the Top Wedding Photographers in Medway and run a Mobile Family Photography Studio in Medway too.
What makes me special you might ask? Why book me over anyone else?
Well, before you even ask these questions please have a good look though my photos, Wedding Photography in particular is very varied between photographers and you may LOVE my work, alternatively you may prefer something different every good photographer has a style and a way of working that you may fall in love with - or not. So I recommend really making sure you love my photos before you go any further as these photos will be the main way of remembering and reminiscing over what is the most important and defining day of your lives so you need to love my style. If you do, fantastic if not, I'm not offended everyone is different that is what makes the world so interesting!!
SO you love my photos (I hope you do) - what now, what makes me extra special - there is probably a handful of photographers who's photos you like
Well firstly, my personal style is very easy going, I try to be part of the wedding, almost as a guest, interacting with people, I really love going to weddings it is so much fun being part of such a happy day!
I am fully insured, use lots of professional Nikon equipment, not the stuff you can buy in Argos :-) Check out my reviews either here or on the company facebook page, my customers love me and further more most of my customers go on to promote my services to their friends and family without me even asking them to! It is so lovely when I go to weddings and see so many familiar faces
My style is a mix of Photo-Journalistic and Traditional Wedding Photography, I like to capture the day as it happens but also like to get some posed shots of you and your guests looking their best on your big day
It truly is so much fun to be at such a happy event that is a wedding, Capturing the emotions of the day really is a lot of fun - hard work - but fun it is my passion to create photos that I adore and if you like my style you will too
I use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom for most of the editing, most weddings require 2 day's of editing after to make the photos just right, and that's included in the price. I keep the editing quite simple & don't go overboard with crazy presets or effects. stage one is to go through the usually 1k-2k photos and choose the best ones (I usually shoot 2 of all the important shots, more of the group shots) once I have this group then I correct the photos making sure the colors are just right. Once I have this corrected group, I will create your final wedding group which contains my look which is a bit classic wedding film looking, lower contrast, and warm it is difficult to explain as it has evolved over the years but I'm not a big fans of high contrast and over saturated colors for people photos! Quite the opposite
Please click on my Galleries to have a closer look at a selection of Photos from my recent shoots. I'm one of the Top Wedding Photographer Kent

It was a pretty quiet month for me, other than the end of semester and exams. The break has given me time to relax (enough that my resting heart rate was 61bpm one day, which it hadn't been for a while). I purposefully took a couple of days to just watch Netflix and clean out my room and not do anything.
I did an all day hike with friends, which was not for the weak hearted! It was over 6 hours, mostly uphill, and very muddy. I'm honestly surprised no one got hurt. In New Zealand, a bush walk means you follow plastic triangles on trees to reach your destination. We don't believe in actual paths, let alone concrete.
At the moment I'm an my grandparents with my dad. We came down to surprise my Poppa for his birthday, and because it's nice to see family. It lowkey sucks to be away from my group because we're doing heaps of stuff together at the moment, but also it's good to be away. It's nice to be somewhere different for a while, and it changes the type of poetry I'm writing.
My break is going so fast. I'm spending the last week volunteering for a community group, during which I'm going to help with the school holiday program. To get into the teaching program I want to be in you have to talk about you working with children, community groups and so on. But also I felt like I should do something productive with my month off.
I've had time to do some reading! But I'm so out of the loop with new YA and what books are being talked about. So any suggestions to get me back on the right track would be appreciated! Lorde and Imagine Dragons dropped new records, so excuse me while I lie on my bed and listen to them (over and over) and decide if I like them or not.
