You may not know this about me, but I come from a comics family.
My great grandfather was one of the first editors to screw a cartoonist, for example, and we're still all kind of proud of him. It's a lot to live up to. The family estate was built on land bought with money that rightfully belonged to the BRINGING UP FATHER guy. We all laugh about that sometimes. The chair I'm sitting on could put the guy who created BLONDIE's kids through college.
Also, my great Aunt Meg was the model for Phantom Lady, although in the pictures we have where she's modeling for the artist, she's always tied up with a ball gag in her mouth. When I first saw a Phantom Lady comic, I was really stunned to find out that she could talk, let alone stand up straight.
But I think we were all MOST proud of Grandpa Travis, who wrote over twelve million stories for various publishers under nearly fifty pen names. It was Grandpa Travis who said, "Let's have this 'Superman' character hit people a lot!" and "I don't like the name 'Lackspittle'. Let's call this guy 'Jughead!'"
It was Grandpa Travis who, in his younger days, figured out that comics would be better if they were printed on paper, rather than huge slabs of granite. Grandpa was responsible for the first grossly unfair racial stereotype in comics, and it was Grandpa Travis who, when comics suffered their first real sales slump, immediately jumped ship to write the outcomes for rigged game shows. But comics were always his first real love. Comics and tattoos.
Grandpa could be a crotchety ol' coot. He once told me that the only comics he wouldn't write were CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED, cause, in his words, "kids don't like that highbrow crap!". Then he playfully locked me in the cellar for "giving him sass" when all I said was that it was time for my medication. But we all loved him. I don't like dark, enclosed places anymore and I sleep with the light on, and if I just even SEE a rat I faint, but that doesn't change how I feel about that wonderful, senile old cuss.
Sometimes, I sort of marvel at his achievements. I mean, on his BEST DAY, Mark Waid couldn't write more than six or seven comics. Grandpa Travis once wrote an entire issue of Star Spangled War Stories on the pillowcase of a prostitute he'd befriended only minutes earlier. Twelve million stories he wrote. And not a crossover in the batch, unless you count the "unofficial" teamups in his Tijuana Bibles. Let's see any of today's topwriters make a story with Tarzan and Olive Oyl hold your interest.
Grandpa Travis doesn't have much use for the comics of today. I went to visit him in the hospital recently, partly because I just love this old man and the fanciful, magical way he tells stories of a simpler time in comics, and partly because if he dies with no will, I get squat. I remember asking him what he thought of Superman today, and he said, "He's a sissy! They're ALL sissies! Jesus, look at this thing on my ass…is that a bedsore or did I sit on my custard?"
Seeing him all helpless and skinny and awful-smelling, it's comforting to remember a time, back when I was a child, when at least he wasn't skinny. And, continent or not, the man could tell spooky stories.
My sisters and I would all sit on the porch of Grandpa's cabin, us in our nightgowns with our bowls of hardtack and scrapple and big cool glass of cabbage juice, and Grandpa in his favorite rocking chair, smoking his corn cob pipe and drinking hard liquor in a huge pirate head mug. "Grandpa!", we'd all shout, not too loudly cause he was always well-armed, "Tell us a story of the olden days of comics!"
"No. You young'uns clear off the porch and leave your pore ol' grandpa to his drinkin'."
But we'd played this game many times before. For all his bluster, he enjoyed spinning yarns, and everyone with any sense had long since stopped listening. I knew how to prompt him into a fine old tale, however. Eyes aglow, I asked the one question I knew he couldn't resist. "Grandpa…tell again how it smelt…", I pleaded.
He fixed me with his good eye, and said, "Ya want to hear that again, huh? Well, let me tell ya, missy. In those days,", we'd supress a delighted shiver, "a comic book company wasn't a nice, hygenic-like place. No, not at all…"
He leaned in closer…so close we could smell his truss…"In those days, DC Comics was called National Periodical Publications, and it was run out of a disreputable brothel in the seediest part of what's now called New York City. When ya opened those doors with the little drawing of Superman on them, it smelled like the firey furnaces o' Hell, no mistake. The scent of cheap sex and crushed dreams was overpowering. Many a grizzled freelancer would soil themselves on the spot, and that was AFORE they hired Left Handed Jimmy, the meanest bouncer in town.
"If'n ya had written a script, and ya wanted yer check, ya had ta knife-fight Jimmy afore they'd give it to ya, and even THEN it'd be so covered with blood and filth that sometimes the bank wouldn't cash it. If the world had a black heart in those days, DC COMICS was it. It was a place designed by Satan himself for the sole purpose of shrinking your testicles to the size of malnourished raisins…"
We weren't sure what "testicles" were, but we knew this whole raisin business was bad news…we'd shudder dutifully at his description – and then, invariably, we'd ask about creator's rights, "What about creator's rights, Grandpa? Did creators have rights in those days?", we'd ask, innocently.
Grandpa would hock up a big wad of phlegm, enjoying his moment, and say, "Oh, yeah. We had rights. We had the right to mop up our own blood if we asked for a raise! I remember one guy, nice fella, created the Red Tornado, I think…he asked for an advance on some scripts he'd written for FOX AND CROW, and they found him…"
"STUFFED IN THE LAUNDRY CHUTE!!", we all squealed, delightedly. We'd heard this story many times.
"Ah, ya mischief-makin' pixies! You'll be the death o' me!", Grandpa said with a grin full of broken teeth he got during an aborted strike attempt. Then we'd all give him a big hug and he's send us off to bed.
Those were special times. All of which brings me back to why I came to visit my Grandpa in the hospital in the first place, which was to ask him about the Siegel/DC Superman ownership deal since he was THERE, and could maybe answer some questions.
But unfortunately, Grandpa's fallen fast asleep. So I guess we'll ALL have to wait to get those answers.
Anyway, I asked the nurse, and apparantly, it wasn't custard.

Vaibhav Tripathi was born in Kanpur, India with family roots from the Himalayas. He obtained his BS in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India in 2006, MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, CA in 2009 and is currently pursuing PhD in Electrical Engineering also at Stanford University. Vaibhav has always enjoyed spending time in nature which as a child came in form of almost yearly trips to Himalayan foothills in India. It was during one of these visits he first operated a 35mm point and shoot Kodak camera documenting what he thought looked beautiful. As he grew up, the love for Nature and Wilderness increased and so did the urge to find something more meaningful in the plethora of natural beauty.
Now over the last 18 months, Vaibhav has been motivated to make expressive Nature photographs. Inspired by the great art produced by Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell (to name a few) and stimulated by his love for Wilderness and Nature, he actively strives to find his own interpretation of the fleeting natural phenomenon happening around us. In his free time from work as a graduate student at Stanford University, Vaibhav continues to improve upon his creative vision and understanding the dynamics of Nature Photography.

The biggest city in Scotland and the third biggest in the UK, Glasgow really is a vibrant metropolis (despite what their biggest rivals – Edinburgh residents – may say). Once the centre of the UK's industrial revolution, Glasgow is now brimming with world class museums, art galleries, and architecture both old and new. It's also got a booming music scene, and you shouldn't leave without checking out at least one live venue.
Stay at The Grand Central Hotel or Similar:
Sandwiched between the stunning Loch Linnhe and the foothills of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, Fort William is simply unforgettable. The town makes an excellent base for hiking either Ben Nevis or the surrounding Munroes, or for the less outdoorsy types, a cruise along Loch Linnhe is a great way to relax and spot some local wildlife (don't worry, there's no monster in this one). The Jacobite steam train to Mallaig is also a throwback to days gone by.
Stay at Alexander Hotel or Similar
Marketed as the 'Gateway to the Highlands', Inverness is a picturesque town on the banks of the river Ness. There are many walks to take along the leafy river bank, leading up to the magnificent Inverness castle and beyond to the Ness islands or the Calendonian Canal towpath. Golfing, cycling, and watersports are popular activities, and this town is also home to the biggest myth of all; the Loch Ness Monster. Go searching if you dare!
Stay at Culloden House or Similar:
A small town a short distance from Perth, Pitlochry shouldn't be overlooked. The charming Pitlochry church and quaint buildings of the town make for a pleasant afternoon stroll, or you can visit the spectacular Falls of Bruar or the Pitlochry Dam and Salmon Ladder. Top it off with a visit to Scotland's smallest distillery and try some Edradour single malt whisky. Ben Vrackie, a mountain topping 840m, is also nearby for any hikers.
Stay at Atholl Palace Hotel or Similar
This stunning medieval city is the jewel in Scotland's crown, and ever popular with visitors. Edinburgh Castle sits right in the centre on top of a craggy hill overlooking everything below, with Greyfriars Kirkyard and Mary King's Close providing plenty more insights into this city's spooky, creepy history. The Edinburgh arts festival in August is one of the best in the world and not to be missed.

Great List of FREE resources
Thank you to everyone who came out! I had a lot of fun and the hour seemed to WHHHHIPPP by!!
Tonight's Episode (4) was " The Crafty Caper Conundrum" , "Cheap or FREE ways to Craft and Pop-Up Cardapalooza!!!"
I began the show with sharing several ways I have made my workspace more ergonomic. We also discussed "Light Therapy" and its usefulness in treating SAD, and possibly depression. I had no idea that many of the audience members have the Ott-Lite and use it because it is most beneficial to artists, giving a 'true' colour to their media. So they have the lights for 'art's sake' :).
On the 'Health Front' I mentioned a couple of wonderful sources to check out and here they are:
For Mental Exercises – a great site I use is http://www.lumosity.com/. There is no charge for basic membership.
I would also like to recommend a great workbook which I have personally used:
I know it is available on Amazon, and I'm sure you can find it at any book dealer, and even at your local library. You may want to own your own copy though, because you would be able to write in it.
The title is "Mind Over Mood" by Dennis Greenberger and Christine A. Padesky. ISBN 978-0898621280
We covered a lot of territory tonight as I made available many different sources of free products (or very inexpensive) that my Crafty Friends would find useful.

MAGNOLIA, TX --After this morning's storms, Montgomery County sheriff's deputies are keeping an eye on particular high water spot.
Dispatchers say one section of FM 1774 in the Magnolia area has been shut down due to high water. The road closure affects FM 1774 immediately around Sanders Cemetery. TxDOT has put up barricades as water from Mink Creek approaches the bridge near the cemetery.
Other than that one trouble spot, there have been no other reports of major damage in Montgomery County.
We're expecting more rain today.

Tuesday on Fox Business Network's "Mornings with Maria," while commenting on the 50 Republican foreign policy and national security experts who released an open letter opposing him, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said they were "Washington establishment people" and that they were trying "to get some publicity for themselves."
Trump said, "Well I responded by saying that I wasn't using any of them. They would have loved to have been involved with the campaign. But I wasn't using, and I had no interest using. Look where country is now national policy. Look where we are on defense. Look where we are. Look at the mess we are in whether it's the Middle East or anywhere else. These were people been there a long time — Washington establishment people that have been there a long time. Look at terrible job they've done. I hadn't planned that using any of these people. I guess for the most part I haven't spoken to these people. I like to speak to a new group. The old group was not doing it. Take a look at Middle East. Take a look at problems that we have with people doing it long period of time. So you know they don't feel relevant so they form a group go out and try to get some publicity for themselves. And they hope that somebody else other than Trump wins because that way they can get a job."
He added, "I won the primary by fighting all of these insiders."

Get to Know... Rachel Wiandt
11 . 02 . 2016
OOAK: What are you bringing to this year's Holiday Show?
Rachel: In addition to our regular line of soaps, sugar scrubs, bath bombs and other delights, we will have a limited number of special Christmas tree soap cupcakes just for One of a Kind.
OOAK: How did you get started?
Rachel: I'm allergic to many synthetic lathering agents and they leave my hands cracked and painful. I decided to try formulating my own natural soaps and added my own artistic flair with swirls, colors and patterns. Very soon friends and family were begging for more and insisting on paying for my creations!
OOAK: What inspires you/your work?
Rachel: I love baking and find inspiration in candy, cake and food trends. If I see a design on a cake, I love to try it with soap. ColorSeeds, Apartment Therapy and DesignSponge are some of my favorite blogs.
OOAK: If you're weren't an artist what would you be?
Rachel: I also work full-time in web design and development. I love coding and bringing ideas to life on the web.
OOAK: What makes you happy?
Rachel: Spending time with family and friends, traveling, a hot cup of coffee and a good book on a cool fall morning, and vegetable gardening.
OOAK: What's your favorite holiday tradition?
Rachel: Watching animated Christmas favorites like Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman. It always makes me feel like a kid again.
OOAK: Favorite holiday food?
Rachel: Gingerbread and stollen. My family is of German ancestry and these were some of our annual favorites.
OOAK: Favorite Holiday song?
Rachel: War is over by John Lennon or Last Christmas by Wham!
OOAK: And the best gift you've ever received?
Rachel: My parents allowed me to bring home a rescued puppy, Duchess, for my 16th birthday. She was our constant companion for the rest of her life.

I think there's some confusion about the speed I am getting. I am getting about 15-20 megabits per second, not megabytes per second.
In the image you posted you are getting about 42 megabytes per second which is about 20 times, not twice,the speed I am getting. While I understand you're is going to be faster with the AC, 2 megabytes per second, if I'm lucky, is insanely low. I've googled around and other threads/forums are indicating that 10 megabytes per second is slow for N speeds, and I'm getting about 1/5 of that.
If 2 MB/s is what wireless N speeds are supposed to be then I guess I'm about to get in my attic and wire my entire house with Cat5e or Cat6 cable.
I really can't make comparison's when you are using a different method for testing the bandwidth.
I'm also curious why you are showing a Guest network that is running on the same channels 11-1 along side your first network, both of these networks are using the same channels which is a problem.
Is this a guest network from your own router or is that a neighbor?
You should also remember that you can only move files as fast as the slowest connection, in this case it's the laptop with only 130Mbps, when you add in 50 percent signal strength then you end up with the connection speed at approx. 1/10 what my wired would get. Once again, pretty much what you are getting now.

How do I get windows to show the transfer speed? The only thing I'm getting is the time it'll take to complete. It doesn't give me the histogram or anything like yours, just a box with a countdown.
The guest network is mine. It's a secondary SSID and isolated from the first so guests can't access my files. I've tested with and without the secondary SSID and it's made no difference.
As far as 50% signal strength, everything I've seen shows -50dbi being a very good signal? Thanks for all the help.

I wouldn't have those overlapping signals in my network as this also reduces speed. You might look and see if you can change the channel on the Guest network.
If you are moving those files between the two wireless machines then the one with 130Mbps is holding back the potential quite a bit because the other one has twice the bandwidth. I believe with 130Mbps at -50 I wouldn't expect no more than 1/10 of what I was seeing with my standard 1Gb connection, which is only 4Mbps.
As for checking the speed in Windows, try going into the Task Manager then click on the network tab during a download.
Other than those things I'm seeing no real problems here at all.

You will see our work in a number of forms within primary schools, all supporting the KS1&2 Collective Worship requirements and RE curriculum. Our vibrant self-penned theatre-style assemblies prove to be incredibly popular with children and staff alike; delivering positive messages based on biblical teachings. Our RE lessons present faith in an accessible and engaging way.
We are passionate about raising a young person's self-esteem and empowering them with effective knowledge in order that they make wise and healthy relationship choices. We want to eliminate potentially destructive behaviours by delivering unique self-esteem and relationship education, allowing teens to identify their view point and boundaries within a positive environment.
We have been delivering one to one mentoring for a number of years now, seeing really encouraging results with many of those we work with. As a result of this mentoring, the young people are now engaging much more with their schooling, becoming more open, responsive and well-rounded, having positive peer relationships and developing a healthy self-esteem.
Two of our team are trained in Therapeutic Play (an excellent facilitator for working with young children), with one starting a diploma in April 2016. This type of creative interaction allows a child to work through current challenges or past traumas. We continue to see transformational results, with parents and teachers reporting increased peer engagement and improvements in behaviour.
Our work with local homeless young people, including young parents, is incredibly important to us. Many of those we work with have experienced heart breaking challenges. We believe that everyone should have every opportunity to reach their potential and we develop sessions designed to meet their support needs through raising their self-esteem, whilst also having great fun.
Our collaborative project with Tunbridge Wells Youth For Christ; by combining our resources and skills in this area we are more able to meet the needs of a larger proportion of young people. Connect recruits, trains and manages volunteer secondary school mentors. The overall aim is to listen, support, encourage and empower the many young people we work with.

Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie defended his appearance in and the running of "Stronger Than The Storm" tourism ads for the Jersey shore that have been airing in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
According to the Associated Press, "Christie said the ads were never meant to imply that the state has fully recovered from the Oct. 29 storm. But he said the shore has made remarkable progress since then."
Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono, who is running against Christie in New Jersey's gubernatorial race, has attacked Christie in commercials with residents whose homes Sandy destroyed.
"When I see Christie in the ad it completely reiterates my thought that they haven't take care of the people here," one resident says in Buono's ad. "The picture that's painted is we're good to go, we're fine, everything's taken care of, and that's not the case."
Christie said he felt the ads "were crucial to convincing potential vacationers making their summer plans that the entire Jersey shore was not destroyed."

About 500 people came out to GiGi's Playhouse Walk Saturday morning. The walk promoted down syndrome awareness.
Many participants registered in teams and walked with someone special in mind.
Some families said it's important to them to show their loved ones with down syndrome that they care.
Natasha Freiberg's younger brother has down syndrome.
"It means a lot to him and me to just come out and run with him. It just kind of makes me feel really happy that I'm part of his family," 10-year-old Natasha Freiberg said.
Along with the walk, there were other activities for kids to check out including a petting zoo and blow up slide. Organizers said promoting awareness about down syndrome was the most important part of the event.
"People can, born with down syndrome, they're a little bit different than everybody else, but really this is to gain some education and awareness that, hey, they're normal, whatever you describe normal as, just like everybody else," Volunteer/Organizer Julie Waggoner said.
Waggoner said the walk raised about $15,000 for GiGi's Playhouse. Some of that money will go toward helping new parents of children with down syndrome.
KTIV's Matt Breen emceed the event.
The next event benefiting GiGi's Playhouse will be a poker run and auction held on Saturday, September 14th. The event will be held at Bob's Watering Hole in Sioux City. Registration will be from 9:00a.m. to 10:45a.m. and the event will begin promptly at 11:00a.m.For more information about this event, check out this website.

Escalating hostility among Gulf countries can be an opportunity for America — or spell doom for President Trump's attempt to organize an anti-extremist coalition to pacify the Middle East and check Iran's malign influence.
A rift between Saudi Arabia, Egypt and their allies on one side, and Qatar on the other, has become a full-blown crisis. The Trump administration is offering to mediate. If successful, it'll show US leadership is still alive and well — and irreplaceable.
It won't be easy. Arabs have never been good at unity. For decades, enmities between the region's potentates and strongmen were hidden behind a veneer of "unity" over opposition to Israel. A side effect of President Barack Obama's tilt toward Iran, however, was that powerful Arab leaders realized they had bigger problems than the Jewish state.
In a break from his predecessor, Trump saw an opportunity to strengthen the region's anti-Iran forces.
It was a sound idea: A unified Sunni Arab front would slow Iranian expansion, stem the cash flow to jihadists and possibly even lead to public Arab-Israeli ties. But now that's on hold.
Saudi kings and Qatari emirs have long competed for Gulf primacy, which leads Qatar to support anti-Western forces as part of the emir's attempt to chart an independent path.
But the current crisis is more serious than similar past rifts.
On Monday, six countries led by Saudi Arabia severed ties with Qatar. Worse, they closed airspace and borders, threatening Qatar's imported food supplies.
It isn't immediately clear what made this simmering pot finally boil over.
Has the location of Trump's May 21 Riyadh speech, not to mention a $110 billion arms deal, led the Saudis to conclude they're now kings of all Arabs? If so, why not settle an old score against a hated rival? (Even though Trump's speech praised Qatar as well.)
Qatar has long been a thorn in the side of the Saudis and other Arabs. It backs the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's main opposition. It hosts Hamas leaders and supports Yemen's Houthis, which fight opposite Saudi-backed forces in Yemen's civil war. It finances operations of al Qaeda's Syrian branch, and Bahrain's (Tehran-backed) opposition.
Then there's Al Jazeera, the Qatari-financed Arabic-language media outlet that endlessly criticizes Arab leaders (except, of course, for the emir in Doha).
And then there's Iran.
According to accounts in various Arab press outlets, Qatar secretly funds Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Qatar's foreign minister has reportedly been seen meeting with Gen. Qassem Sulemani, Tehran's point man on exporting the Islamic revolution to Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Gaza.
According to the Financial Times, the last straw for the Gulf states might have been when Qatar recently paid Iran and an al Qaeda Syrian offshoot $1 billion ransom to release 21 members of the Qatari royal family captured in Iraq while on a falconry trip, as well as members of a Qatari-affiliated militia captured in Syria.
So that's how we got in the mess. How do we get out?
"We certainly would encourage the parties to sit down together and address these differences," Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Monday in Australia. "If there's any role" the United States can play in mediating the crisis, he added, it's certainly interested in doing so.
There isn't much time to figure it out, says David Weinberg, a Gulf scholar at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Qatar could soon run low on food imports — and then perhaps turn to Iran, which has already offered assistance.
With some "deft statecraft," however, America can help. But "simply resolving this dispute for its own sake won't be helpful, and in fact could make things worse," Weinberg says.
If the dispute is "resolved" by allowing Qatar to continue winking and nodding at terror-financiers, or by turning a blind eye to its ties to Iran, then Trump's anti-Iran coalition may remain intact, but at the risk of forfeiting parts of its own mission.
The Qataris, it turns out, are amenable to pressure. In an apparent response to US pleas, Doha last week expelled some Hamas leaders (though not all).
That, of course, isn't enough. And pressure must be applied with care: Too much of it could leave Qatar no choice but to leave the US alliance altogether, and defect to the Iran-Syria-Russia axis.
A helping hand, conversely, can help return a wayward sheep to the flock — and make American Mideast diplomacy great again.

Story Analysis:
Ramesh(Atharva) , a plus two student, who is kind to all the people and live in a slum area along with set of 5 friends. His main passion is to fly kites and make money out of it. One fine day when chasing a kite, he fall down on Priya(Samantha – a fashion tech student).During the process of getting up, he take Priya's pen drive along with him. As usual Priya search Ramesh in order to get the pen drive from him, during that process, friendship blossoms between them and at later stage, the friendship turns into love. When proposing his love to her, due to some reason and misunderstanding, priya ignore ramesh. On the other side Ravi (Prasanna) ,a local rowdy who murder people for money. When killing a Local Ex MLA, all of a sudden ,ramesh become eye witness. So the other rowdy's plan to kill ramesh. The remaining story is all about whether ramesh and priya join together or the rowdy's kill ramesh. But apart from these 2 climax, the director tried something new but i don't think it will work out with all the class audience, and i don't feel like revealing the climax:-)
Cast & Crew Analysis:
Atharva made his debut in this movie, he acted well, but he has to improve a lot in dialogue delivery. samantha played the lady love, this is her first movie. She acted well, emoted well, looked cute, but she has to improve a lot in dancing and tone her body in order to look good in glamour dress 🙂
Prasanna Played the role of a tough rowdy, and his performance was good. karunas took care of the comedy part and he provoked laughter throughout the movie. Yuvan's songs and background score were just ok. He could have done better. Last but not the least captain of the ship badrinath made a decent attempt but he failed miserably in the climax.
General Analysis:
First half was good, but the second half was too slow and climax was disappointing. The director should have kept some positive ending for such a colorful movie. Over all its a good movie which can be seen once for the sake of debut actor/actress. Tamil Cinema has got a fresh face named samantha, soon she is gonna rock the entire kollywood. Who knows, there is a possibility for sammu(samantha) to replace tammu(Tamanna) 🙂
Expected No Of Days Of successful Run: 30 Days
My Verdict: Above Average

She is Estivaliz, her name is of Basque origin meaning 'honey, or very sweet woman'. People with this name are very original, who have some ideas and some original ways of thinking. She is not only original, sweet and funny, she has also a mixture of beauty and glamor that makes her unique. From the day we met, I knew that I would surprise her with a few balloons to use in our photo session and capture all her attributes in a single image. Here is the result!
I have been a Documentary photographer for many years. I have been very reluctant to include Wedding photography in my portfolio of services. Three weeks ago I got a phone call from a customer asking me to cover her wedding. My first answer was that I don't work on weddings and moreover I told her that I don't have experience on this kind of event. She was really sweet and kind by the phone and invite me to think about it because she really like my Documentary style. After a couple of days she visit me and I decided to cover her wedding. This was my first wedding and I definitely enjoyed. I am so honored that one of my pictures done on my first wedding has been selected. Thanks to this sweet girl I found on wedding photography the opportunity to include it in my offering.

Are you looking to make a shift into tech? If your answer is yes, but you're unsure how to begin that transition, we've got you covered!
Think about the skills you currently possess. While you may not necessarily "be in tech," tech innovation is occurring in virtually every industry. Your current industry and role are undoubtedly connected to the tech world in some way or another.
Today various industries have been disrupted by tech, birthing tech adjacent industries and sectors such as AdTech, EdTech, HealthTech and FinTech, to name a few. So, let's explore four of these sectors and viable hybrid positions that require little to no coding at all:
When you think about fashion and the impact it plays on your life, is tech somehow connected to that?
Influential fashion and tech innovators are increasingly looking for ways to work together to bring new fashion technologies center stage. Here's an example: Google and H&M partnered to make a dress using your personal information. How cool is that?
If you're looking to learn more about the fashion tech industry, TechCrunch is a good place to start. They have an entire section solely for fashion. Fashioning Tech is another site to place on your radar.
Creative technologist Madison Maxey is proof that both industries can merge in the name of innovation. In 2013, she created The Crated (now Loomia), a Brooklyn-based studio working on smart clothing. A few months ago, Loomia won TopShop's wearable tech competition and announced a new partnership to make mass market smart apparel a possibility.
Whether you use the health app on your smartphone or FitBit, or use healthcare solution Oscar, it's clear that tech is revolutionizing the healthcare industry. The impact of technology is evident in the way medical providers keep track of their patients to making health records electronic. At the moment, technology is not only saving lives and improving patient care, it is also providing greater access to healthcare through medical devices, software and alternative solutions.
Education is one of my favorite industries being impacted by technology (likely because I'm the social media strategist for 2020Shift and we're creating a solution to remedy skills-based learning). The way 2020Shift utilizes technology to impact education is by teaching diverse professionals the skills they need to find a career they love in technology.
If you remember from my previous post, I didn't go to school for marketing. Everything I've learned is partly thanks to the Internet. I love platforms like Coursera, Udemy and Lynda. These platforms place power at your fingertips. Think about it -- you have full control of when you take your classes, can collaborate in real time, highlight and take notes digitally, and learn at a pace that works best for you.
The finance industry is utilizing technology to make financial markets more efficient and effective. The amount of capital being placed in this industry is increasing at a tremendous rate.
But this is not surprising. How often do you carry cash nowadays? When you go to dinner with a group of friends and you don't all want to pay with a credit card, how many times do you hear the phrase, "I'll Venmo you!"
Platforms like Acorns allows you to invest your spare change; Mint helps you with money management and budgeting; My Money My Future/Mi Dinero Mi Futuro, an online financial planning platform dedicated to empowering Latinas to create wealth; and Kickstarter allows you to use technology to raise funds. And the list goes on.
If you're passionate about a particular industry and want to utilize tech to make an impact, you can do so! So, what are you waiting for?

Fear of God Devotional: Repentance: The Heart of the Christian Life
Does repentance continue even after salvation?
Jason Dohm explains in this video that Martin Luther once said the heart of the Christian life is repentance. Once you have been justified, there is nothing you can do to be somehow more justified. But that doesn't mean that repentance is something that Christians do once and never again.
Rather, Christians are a people who are repenting multiple times every day because they understand that they fall short of the glory of God.
Proverbs 28:13 (NKJV) – "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."

Its dimensions are very compact with only 75x14x30 mm. Drawbacks are the reduced capacity of battery life that only offers 650 mAh and a small tank, only 1.8 ml. The e-liquid level can easily be monitored through the vertical window.
However the drip tip is rectangular, a very singular shape that might discourage smokers who are used to the tubular tip of a cigarette. The tank can be filled by the top and the resistance coils are screwed. When removing the top cap, you can adjust the airflow by rotating the system. Finally, the iCare automatically starts when vaping and does not require operating a Fire (autoflow).

So far, Rhode Island is the favorite. She graduated from college with a degree in History, which has led, somehow, to a varied career that includes sailing as crew on tallships, sewing professionally, home care for the disabled and an internship in Therapeutic Riding. She and her husband, Paul, currently run an outdoor program for homeschool students in her hometown of St. Augustine, FL, which has way more venomous snakes than anybody should have to deal with when running kids through the woods. The current bunny count is 10, but only one is coming to camp with her.

Growth seen for telemedicine, diabetes managementDecember 28, 2011
Telemedicine will play a much larger role in healthcare during 2012, according to a recent report from Euro RSCG. Among its growing uses: remote monitoring of chronic conditions, transmitting scans and tests for analysis -- and real-time interaction via teleconsultations. The158-page report also sees governments paying more attention to diabetes management. "The transformation of health will continue to accelerate, getting bigger as companies scale beyond traditional borders," said Larry Mickelberg, a spokesman for Havas Worldwide Health. "We have the opportunity to marry these new streams with more traditional health communications and power better health experiences," he noted.

Since your pets are likely territorial they may have problems being abruptly picked up and moved to an entirely new environment, And their problems can become your problems so you'll be glad to know there are ways to help your pets adjust to their new home with less stress for you and them.
|Moving Your Cat
Consider using phermone spray in the acclimation room and then the rest of the house as the cat is allowed to explore. This spray is available through veterinarians, and has a calming affect.
Cats that are normally allowed outside should not be let out for several weeks. They may attempt to return to their old familiar house and become lost or injured. When outdoor cats are initially let outside again, trips out should be very brief, on a leash or supervised and then rewarded by a tasty meal back inside the house. This process should continue for days until your cat seems to be accepting your new home as its new home too.
It is advisable to find out what pets your neighbors may have that your outdoor cat could come in contact with such as other outdoor cats that may not be welcoming, loose dogs, etc. Inform neighbors about your pets as well.
|Moving Your Bird
|Travel tends to be very stressful to birds. When traveling be sure to cover the bird's cage well to avoid drafts as well as subjecting the bird to as little visual stimuli as possible. Use a small carry cage for the move so there is not too much room for the bird to move around and injure itself if startled. As with other small pets, have the bird's familiar caging, toys, and food set up in the new house away from excessive noise and activity. Once the movers are gone, most birds would like to be able to investigate their new surrounding visually from their cages as well as be able to see their owners.
|Moving Your Dog
Dogs are very adaptable, but a move to an unfamiliar place will be confusing for them and problems such as straying and accidents in the house can be lessened through proper preparation.
Before the move, make sure your dog has a new name tag with your new address, phone number or cell number on it.
Contact a veterinarian in your new area so that you will be established with them should an emergency arise.
Contact the local animal control authorities in your new area to find out what licensing or other regulations affect your dog.
If your dog does not already use a crate, purchase one and get him acclimated to it ahead of time. Special treats given in the crate, favorite toys and comfortable bedding will help your pet adjust. Keep the crate in a place where your dog likes to be, such as near your bed.
Thoroughly inspect the yard that you dog will use for hazards that may have been left behind by the previous owners like toxic plants, poisons, or debris that could cause injury. If the yard is fenced, walk the entire fence line and look for breaks or other escape routes.
On moving day keep your dog secured in its crate while items are brought in and doors are left open. Your dog may attempt to return to its old home if it is let loose and become lost or injured.
Let your dog sniff around the house under your supervision. In a new place it may get itself in trouble that you did not foresee if left unattended.
Be prepared to do a refresher course in housebreaking. Take your dog outside on a leash frequently for potty breaks and reward the correct behavior. Expect that there may be an accident as your dog he needs to learn the appropriate place for elimination in the new environment.
It is advisable to find out what pets your neighbors may have and to let them know about your pets as well. Be alert if small children live nearby and speak to them about your dog.

The stables of Baddesley Clinton

Baddesley Clinton house was probably established sometime in the 13th century
In 1438, John Brome, the Under-Treasurer of England, bought the Baddesley Clinton manor. It then passed to his son, Nicholas, who is thought to have built the east range, which is the main entrance.

Baddesley Clinton servants items from the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
Henry Ferrers "The Antiquary" (1549–1633) made many additions to Baddesley Clinton. It is thought that he was responsible for building the great hall. In the 18th century the great hall was rebuilt in brick.

Henry Ferrers "The Antiquary" (1549–1633) made many additions to Baddesley Clinton, including starting the tradition of stained glass representing the family's coat of arms. Such glass now appears in many of the public rooms in the house.
An informal dining area for Baddesley Clinton
The salon at Baddesley Clinton. This room was used extensively by the two couples living here: Rebecca & Marmion Ferrers, and Lady Chatterton & Edward Heneage Dering
The nineteenth century appointments don't mask the core building being as old as it is.
A bedroom at Baddesley Clinton needs a fine big fireplace.
Judi and Steve consider the information cleverly screened onto a coverlet to limit the distraction of informational displays.

The library at Baddesley Clinton is extensive and I often wonder what sort of books are on the shelf…

One needs to visit a museum these days to see a rotary dial phone (at Baddesley Clinton)
The library at Baddesley Clinton has a lovely fireplace and interesting papers and books set out on the desk.
So that was Baddesley Clinton. Lovely old manor home preserved by the National Trust.
Now we take a stroll with Nathalie about the grounds.
Nothing quite like a moat to give a home some style.

A Sherman Oaks personal trainer may be the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to achieving your fitness goals. There may always seem to be something that holds you back: Not enough time to work out, not enough interest in exercise, or maybe fear of dealing with all the machines and people at the local gym. No matter what may have restricted you from pursuing your fitness, a mobile personal trainer can make it as easy as possible to get started on the journey.
Even though the whole point of a gym may be helping people become more fit, the gym can seem like a weird world of its own – one that you'd prefer to avoid. The same problem may crop up with exercise classes: They may cause people to feel alienated more than they allow them to feel truly welcomed. With a mobile personal trainer, all of those potential fitness barriers fall away. Your trainer will arrive, ready for a workout, on the time and day that you ask for. The best part? A mobile personal trainer will go nearly anywhere. Want to meet up at your company offices? No problem. Your trainer can arrive at your apartment for a workout whenever you request, or they can meet you for a great workout at your favorite local park. It's all up to you.
The holistic method is what tends to work best for people who want to get fit for good. Because of this, your trainer will help you with overall health, not just exercise. This includes helping you make dietary changes that may aid in faster weight loss. There may also be some helpful lifestyle tweaks that your personal trainer can recommend. The trainers at Send a Trainer in Sherman Oaks welcome new clients of all ages, from all backgrounds. We're here to help you achieve your goals on your terms!

Ever before asked yourself exactly how those entrants in bodybuilding competitors make their bodiesReplyDelete
look so defined? At first you might think it's because they naturally look in this way or possibly due to exactly how the stage lights hit them however think it or not, bodybuilders utilize sunless tanning or tanning creams in order to attain that "difficult as granite" look, to flaunt sharply-defined shoulders, biceps and abs that the judges and audience admire so considerably.

Tertris like puzzle game.

|*Concentrates on flies near face* And what is up with my legs.
|The best way to appear taller in outfits: tilt the camera back, something I keep forgetting to ask my brother to do.
by Sarah Michelle
|*Concentrates on flies near face* And what is up with my legs.
|The best way to appear taller in outfits: tilt the camera back, something I keep forgetting to ask my brother to do.
|This is actually my new favorite picture of me ever. My last favorite picture was taken almost 7 years ago.
Today was a good day.
No, seriously. Contrary to how I appear to feel, I was pretty calm all day. You know those days when you stay in and listen to Fleetwood Mac and drink tea and relax? Yeah, today was like that, and it was rainy. I absolutely adore rain…that's also why you see I'm indoors today. But anyway, I've noticed many people don't find rain so nice- "humid and depressing" is the average response I get. After Nick (my bro-tographer; my brother/photographer) showed me the pictures he took, he left in a rush, so I couldn't complain about how angry I looked and ask for a do-over. But after sixty seconds of thought (actually Nick said he wouldn't take more pictures of me, so did I really have a choice?), I realized I rather liked how I looked. Honestly, I appear this way most of the time and do normally have a bit of a darker disposition, so I felt that today would be that moody post where I just go all out and just be myself, regardless of how boring I appear. On a lighter note, I finally got part of my hair to work in a bun! Let's just savor this moment, Sarah. This moment will probably not repeat itself for a long time. And rompers. They are the truest element of my style. Rompers are the key to being cute and effortless and mostly the key to looking put together and style savvy. Keep in mind though, they will be your enemy when you make the mistake of drinking too much water. Try unbuttoning them in a hurry and see how efficient you are at it.
|I literally said "Wait, isn't it dark in here?" before Nick took this.
|Just casually cowering in fear after hearing thunder.

Annnyway, today, I have a guest to introduce! My best friend (actually, my oldest friend) Jordan joined me today on a quest. The objective: to go to the Montrose area in Houston. The goal? To actually get to know a popular, hipster-y area of our city. Plus, I figured it would up my hipster status a little bit. And as a an anxious college student in need of reassurance of her youth and ability to act immaturely, this was genius. So, in classic immature behavior, we set out today in search of food, coffee, small shops, independent stores, art, culture, vintage items, antiques, and photo opportunities. Besides, she's leaving soon (insert sobbing emoji + sad girl emoji), so it was only more motivating to take pictures of super cliche best friend poses, which, in our case today, came out hilarious, and I decided to keep a few unpublished so I can laugh at them later. So here goes- and I hope I inspire you all to travel your cities and immerse yourselves in them.
|Shout-out to Jord for reading this. I call her 'Jord' (sometimes).
|Smiling at my jewels and laughing at the world…there was NO way I could get my scarf to look normal.
My outfit:
|We found a cute vintage store with a matching mural…
|And a few antique shops that were too dark for decent pictures but were very colorful and intriguing at the same time…
|There were so many pretty mirrors to look at! Some of them were from as early as the fifties!
|And an awesome photo that really screamed 1960's feminism…yeah, that's my head at the bottom right corner
|And this mini statue that as extremely intricate given its petite size…
|The last antique store we walked by…
|A baby toy set in a glass case…
|We found an even more colorful mural, which obviously meant more photos…
|This counts as a smile I think…
|We walked around a bit more until we found the Menil Collection- a free art gallery in Houston full of surrealist/modern/classic/ancient art…
|And here are some trees that were a really intense green color near the Menil Collection…
|The view from above…aka my two week old pedicure…
|We never figured out if this coin had a symbolic or artistic meaning, or if that was the number of trees planted before this one…
|GUYS GUYS GUYS- we found a swing in front of the Menil Collection…
|We took turns, of course…
|We found a spiritual chapel next door and figured, "why not?"
|And we left five minutes later…
Hi everyone! Today, I wore the best ventilated top I have ever been lucky enough to come by.
|My heat stroke face. I can't smile when I'm melting, unlike Olaf. Hey, look how flexible I'm becoming!:)
I found this tank by running into it. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. And then these leggings- proof that I really am becoming a lazy bum. Even my hair is lazy! Everything about this outfit screams lazy! Lazy hair (air-dried, which I have to force myself not to blow-dry and straighten, so maybe my hair will be healthy again), lazy leggings, lazy tank with strategically placed vents and massive armholes and practical hook closures so I can customize how windswept I look…laziness. I'm even working the lazy beauty look, also known as no makeup, also known as everyday of my life.
|See? Still not smiling.
But the laziness has a justifiable cause. It's summer, and it is burning outside. The thermometer outside says 102° but I don't believe it for a second. Fall…where are you?
|My brother wanted me to post this picture, so I could prove that I smile sometimes.

Desperately Seeking Autumn
I have been considering chopping my hair for the longest time now, and the more times I see the trailer for Love, Rosie the more I want to cut my hair into a short, blunt bob like Lily *cough- glorious-cough* Collins. It reminds me of Marion Cotillard and French sixties mod style. Plus ( the most important reason in my opinion), I am a lazy person.
These are the pictures burning a hole in my phone and computer screen day after day…
let us all witness the glory that is Lily Collins, Marion Cotillard, Clemence Poesy, and Karla Deras,the ultimate messy/cute bob queens.
|I am obsessed with Karla's natural texture.
|Not sure who this girl is, but her hair is so blunt and perfect in every way.
All pictures from Vogue, Elle,Tumblr, and the depths of my computer files.
Bottom line- if I can let my hair air dry and not have to worry about it tangling too terribly, then it is the haircut for me. Now, serious question: do round faces look okay with short hair?

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
A number of factors may determine the diagnostic accuracy of digitized intraoral radiographs. Conventional film radiographs were digitized with three different digitizers, a laser-scanner, a drum-scanner, and a TV camera. Digital images, varying in pixel size and gray level and image processing, were displayd on three different video-monitors and assessed by 10 dentists. The detectability of incipient proximal surface caries was used as an index of the diagnostic accuracy and the effect of the different factors compared by means of receiver operating characteristic analysis. Image digitized by the drum-scanner were found to have the best diagnostic accuracy. Sufficient diagnostic accuracy could be attained on the low-cost video monitor of a personal computer. Digital images with a pixel size of 100mm and 32 gray levels were found to be acceptable for intraoral radiographs, for diagnostic purposes. These results provide a practical guide for establishing a digital image acquiring system for any intraoral radiographs, reducing demands on data storage to a minimum.
