On and off opening of Faridkot dist library keeps readers off
The district library here, which houses nearly 36,000 books, opens on and off during working hours as three posts in the library are vacant and only one restorer runs the library.punjab Updated: Apr 01, 2016 23:05 IST
The district library here, which houses nearly 36,000 books, opens on and off during working hours as three posts in the library are vacant and only one restorer runs the library.
The post of the librarian has been vacant for about 15 years and most of the time the charge of the library has been given to the librarian of another library. Besides it, posts of a restorer and an attendant are also lying vacant. Earlier, the library had one restorer and one attendant, but after the death of the attendant about 6 months ago, there is only one restorer now.
The library has nearly 36,000 books in Punjabi, Hindi, English and Urdu, but readers are unable to take benefit of these books as it does not open regularly during working hours. The only employee often locks it and goes to do some other works while subscribers have to go back.
"I have been waiting for the restorer to come as he left for some other work. I needed him as I wanted a journal which was required by me to prepare for competitive examinations," said a youth, sitting outside the library.
"It should be ensured that the library is open during working hours so that readers do not have to go back," said Narinderjeet Singh, a teacher.
"As three posts, including that of a librarian, restorer and attendant are vacant, I have to do all the works. I have to lock the library during working hours because I have to do many other works. We want more staff to run it properly," said Harbans Singh, restorer in the library.
Though the library boasts of about 3,600 members, it is not in a condition to cater to needs of readers due to staff crunch.
Besides the problem of staff, almost all the fans and lights in the library have also been lying out of order for long.
Malwinder Singh Jaggi, deputy commissioner, said that he would look into the matter and write to the authorities concerned to send more staff to the library. The district library is under director, public instructions (colleges).

Before you start reading hand palm, you need to select the right hand. The dominant hand can give you information about your life and future. For knowing more about the characteristics you were born with, you should use your non-dominant hand. Once you start learning how to palm read, you will have to know about the major lines and what they represent.
- There are three major lines in palmistry.
- They the life line, the head line and the heart line.
- These three lines govern the most important facets of your life.
- Life Line
The life line in palmistry is related to the physical vitality of the individual. A longer line denotes a high resistance to disease but a short one predicts a susceptibility to diseases. If the line is thick and clear, the individual is better suited to physical labor but for a thinner and shallower line, the person will be better at using his or her mind. The presence of islands is a sign that a serious accident or illness may occur.
- Head Line
In palm reading, the head line denotes the attitude, wisdom, thinking and creative capabilities. People with longer lines tend to be more responsive and capable of thinking clearly. Medium lines signify that the person is smart but not as good as those with longer lines. However, they will be better at doing things. Those with short lines tend to be rather impulsive and slow to respond. However, they can systematically complete tasks faster.
- Heart Line
In palmistry, this line governs love. People with short lines or an absent heart line tend to be ruthless and self-centered. They will not consider the consequences before an action. Those with long lines tend to be straightforward and romantic.
It is not easy to understand how to palm read as the interpretations can vary between palm readers.

Spa Services
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy for our bodies and minds to become overburdened, stressed and congested. Taking some time out of your busy schedule to relax and rejuvenate with a spa treatment can go a long way in helping you feel clearer and more beautiful—inside and out. And when you feel refreshed and look your best, it's that much easier to face the world head-on.
At European Spa, our specially trained and qualified staff use the most effective techniques and products to ensure that all of our spa treatments and massages deliver results that you can see and feel. But we also know that some of that healthful glow has to come from the inside, which is why we care about how you feel as much as we care about how you look.
Take a few minutes to browse our services and discover how European Spa can help you be your best.
Using a special microdermabrasion system along with products containing soothing botanicals, microdermabrasion uses ultra-fine exfoliation to reveal smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin.
Microdermabrasion can be used to treat aging and sun-damaged skin, some types of acne and acne scars, enlarged or clogged pores, altered pigmentation, stretch marks, and fine lines and wrinkles. Best of all, it involves no discomfort, chemicals or recovery time, so you can get on with your life as soon as the treatment is over.
Microdermabrasion for Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are the result of our bodies growing faster than our skin can stretch to accommodate them. The majority of women are affected at some point in their lives by stretch marks, though they're commonly found on men as well. Despite stretch marks being a very common and natural occurrence, however, many people would prefer a smoother, more even-toned skin texture. Fortunately, the appearance of even the toughest stretch marks can be minimized with a series of microdermabrasion treatments.
Diamond Dermabrasion Treatments
The Diamond Peel: Facial Treatment – $125
This diamond dermabrasion treatment is specially designed for delicate facial skin while effectively working to minimize complexion lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone, including brown spots. Skin is left vibrant, youthful and rejuvenated.
The Diamond Peel: Face and Neck Treatment – $150
When considering a facial treatment, you may also want to take into account the often-neglected neck area, which is just as susceptible to premature aging and uneven skin tone as the skin on your face. Our face and neck treatment does everything you can expect of a diamond peel facial treatment, but it includes the neck for a more complete beauty treatment.
The Diamond Peel: Face and Neck plus Mask – $175
Because microdermabrasion works to reveal a layer of fresh, healthy skin, it presents an excellent opportunity to nourish, remineralize and rebalance your skin. This treatment provides all of the rejuvenating and toning benefits of microdermabrasion plus a customized combination of masks and serums to take your treatment to the next level.
The Diamond Peal: Chest and Décolleté – $100
The chest area is often one of the first to show signs of sun damage, and like the face and neck, it is also susceptible to signs of aging. This treatment refines and reconditions your chest and décolleté area to help you feel sexy again in all your scoop and v-neck shirts.
The Diamond Peel: Young Hands $50
Our hands say a lot about where we've been and what we've done, and so it's no surprise that a woman's hands can often tell her age better than any other part of her body. Reverse the signs of aging and restore youthfulness in your hands with this microdermabrasion treatment followed by an intense renewing mask.
The Diamond Peel Experience: Diamond Perfection – $275
Sit back, relax and luxuriate in our ultimate head-to-toe microdermabrasion treatment. Let us pamper you with an aromatherapy neck and shoulder massage to relieve stress and create a sense of wellbeing in preparation for a total youth and beauty treatment. The diamond peel rejuvenation process begins with a face and neck peel, followed by a soothing and toning mask. Your hands will then receive their own special microdermabrasion treatment and mask. Our signature foot massage completes the treatment.
Prices subject to change without change
Promptness: Arrive early, at least 10-15 minutes before your appointment. Unfortunately, arriving late will deprive you of precious time of your spa treatment. Treatments always end on time so the next guest is not delayed.
Cancellations: The treatments you select have been reserved especially for you. A 24 hour cancellation notice is requested. Less than 24 hour notice or failure to show will result in 50% of the treatment price being charged.
Gratuities: To show appreciation to the staff for outstanding service, gratuities may be given at your discretion.

He does it when you least expect it. God comes in and rocks your world. He changes your perspective and blesses you so much.
For the last part of 2014 I felt like I was on auto pilot with my faith. I would go through the motions and tried to learn my lessons, but I wasn't pursuing God. I was just getting by.
Then New Years Day it happened. I was left a message to call Burns Family Studios. They asked me to come up to Michigan to work for them for three weeks. I was floored. I had put in an application to work from home. I never thought that I would be chosen to go.
Yet there I stood in the Austin airport a week and half later waiting for my flight to take off. It really hit me, I'm going to Michigan.
That night was a different story. Because of a matinence issue, my flight was delayed and I missed my connection. I was stuck in the airport waiting on standby for the next flight to Detroit. As the hours dragged on and the flight kept getting delayed, I realized that my chances of getting out that night were slim. Since it was the airlines fault they had given me a hotel voucher and a ticket for a flight the next day. I was so tired and feeling so alone. I decided to get some sleep and catch the flight in the morning.
At the hotel I sat down on the bed and cried. Lord, I feel so alone. I'm in a strange city and this isn't where I wanted to be. Please help me. Through the tears I heard Gods reply. I am here. I am with you. I will watch over you and protect you. Deep in my soul I felt a peace that had been lacking. God wrapped His arms around me and showed me love and grace for all of my whining and complaining. I sent a final message to my family letting them know I was okay and resting. Not only did they give me encouragement, but several friends were praying for me and encouraging me. I went to bed feeling better.
The next day I was about to catch my flight and arrived in Michigan without incident.
The following weeks were a wonderful and challenging adventure. I found not only a group of amazing women waiting for me, but friendship. We bonded in a special and unique way. Each of these girls was a treasure and a delight to work with.
Work started as soon as I got there. We all spent long days making calls, sending emails, and promoting Beyond The Mask. It was very rewarding.
What God did on my downtime was nothing short of a complete turnaround. Through conversations and sometimes debate, God showed me that I was hiding my faith because I was afraid of legalism and fear of people. It totally broke me. I saw how I had become afraid to speak. I repented. God forgave me and showed me great love.
In the days that followed God and I shared many sweet moments of fellowship together. Enjoying the trip, playing in the snow, and reading Romans. He reignited a passion and love for Him that I had been missing. He changed me.
My faith was restored and my eyes were open to see what God could do through me. It was a huge turnaround.
In the meantime, we as a group were taking a lot of little adventures. Going to Canada, enjoying the snow (a big event for a Texas girl), ice skating, and just being together.
God provided so many wonderful opportunities while I was there. I didn't want it to end. But as with everything in this life, it came to an end.
Now that I'm home and looking back on the whole fun wonderful crazy fun adventure, I see how much God used it to grow me.
I now share Him and His message of love and grace more freely. I love more. I enjoy the warmth and green of Texas more. Life is better, richer, and deeper.
That's how God rocked my world. He gave me a blessing so big that I couldn't contain it. I had to let it spill over into others. And may His love and grace continue to spill through me now and forever more.

The new 3D optics system enables perfect focussing of the infra red signal onto the pyroelectric sensor. This permits the negative and positive signal edges to be definitely identified by BWT.
Strong applications embedded into a microprocessor is used to process the received advice from the pyro-electric sensor. The end result of this blend is lower infra red signal noise amplification and thus better resistance.

This immediate response of surrender is the same response we see from Andrew & Peter, the same response we see from Matthew, the tax collector, and the same response that Jesus expects from all He calls to follow Him. Has this been your response? Have you responded with the willingness to leave everything (comforts, likes, money, possessions, whatever He says) in order to follow Him?
It is my prayer that today Jesus find each of us in total surrender to His calling for our lives. Exalting Jesus, Loving Others, Reaching the World! Who is with me?

Kryso Resources in talks with major Chinese miner over investment
Kryso Resources (LON:KYO) told investors that it is now in talks with a
major Chinese mining company in relation to a potential investment in
the company.
Kryso has entered into an exclusivity period, until
11:59pm BST on Friday 25 June 2010, to discuss the potential investment.
During the exclusivity period, Kryso cannot carry on or solicit discussions with any other party in relation to any investment in the company's shares or the disposal of any of the company's assets. The company cautioned that: "There can be no guarantee that the potential investor will make any investment in the company".
At the company's principal operation, the 2.8 million ounce (Moz) Pakrut gold project in Tajikistan, Kryso is currently finalising an expanded Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS). Initially, the BFS was slated for completion this month. However 'encouraging' drilling results, which according to Kryso indicate 'excellent potential to expand the underground resource base', are now being included in the study.
At the end of March, Kryso told investors that high grade drill results from Ore Zone 1 had shown that the mineralization widens at depth, sparking a rethink from the company and BGRIMM. Kryso and the BGRIMM now believe that a more robust mine development plan will be forthcoming if Pakrut is developed solely as an underground gold mine to exploit the widening underground gold structure.
It is anticipated that an underground approach would deliver superior economics relative to a combination of open pit and underground mining and would also enable the early exploitation of higher grade ore found at depth, with lower grade near surface ore blended in as required to produce optimal feed for the mill," Kryso stated.
On 20 April, Kryso reported the most recent, "excellent" assay results from drilling at Pakrut. The assays, which the company described as highly encouraging, were intercepted in Ore Zone 1 and Ore Zone 3. Intercepts from Ore Zone 1 included 25.5m at 7.5 grams per tonne (gpt) gold, 42.4m at 5.4gpt and 12.0m at 6.4gpt, while Ore Zone 3 assays included 9m at 7.5gpt and 13.5m at 7.5gpt containing 4.5m at a higher grade of 20.1gpt.
With all other major elements of the study largely complete, Kryso now expects to complete a fully optimised BFS, including the new resource model, in August.

This is why we have back up plans.
I will admit that it was Mim that came up with this particular back up plan. (Yeah, buying a house really takes up a lot of your time... they should come with a health warning or something)
|Also... be careful of giants
Sprogs should not be that flexible.
Both hilarious and disturbing at the same time, arms and legs all over the place.... one tiny little scout cowering completely underneath her PL. Slightly more disturbing when one of the sprogs asked "where's my left foot...?" *facepalm*
Once they had finally all fallen over Niall and Jason went on to do 4 and 6 figure grid references with them, while I pulled one of them aside and went through their Record Card, and it was a good thing that we went through it, as we had found that she had completed a couple of challenge badges.
The end of the night came along and I got to present a whole host of badges, most of them challenge badges.
And what's more I got to invest a PL.
Yes, I invest my PLs. It isn't normal practice, but I've found that it helps give them some confidence in taking on the role and it helps the others recognise the authority that they have. The investiture runs like any other investiture, but with a modified promise that I came up with.
Patrol Leaders Promise
On my honour I promise,
That I shall lead my patrol to the best of my abilities,
And that I shall remain worthy of the position of Patrol Leader,
For the sake of my Patrol, my Troop and the Scout Movement.
It doesn't seam like much, but my scouts have taken it all to heart. You should have seen the beaming smile he had when I told him that I was going to invest him as a PL.

Remembering the Thing.
Is There a First Amendment Right to Intimidate People?
A concerned old lady holding a sign would certainly not constitute intimidation, because a "person of ordinary sensibilities" would not fear bodily harm. But a huge angry crowd, hurling insults and shouting obscene slogans, that very well might be. The larger the crowd, the more intimidating it is. Intimidation can be accomplished by sheer numbers alone. But then, even a smaller crowd of demonstrators can be extremely intimidating, especially if they are known for a history of violence. Angry large tattooed bearded men holding signs saying "TEAMSTERS LOCAL 666 -- DO NOT CROSS OUR LINE!" would frighten most people away. Why? Because they would have a reasonable fear of bodily harm.
Dispelling The 'Deregulation' Myth.
A dubious and dangerous idea seems to be gaining strength — that government caused the financial crisis by giving capitalism free rein. If anything, it hasn't done enough of that.
Read the whole thing.
Tarte Tatin.
The Tarte Tatin was supposedly invented by mistake. I have tried to make them many times, but I can never get the hard crispy caramelization on the apples that I seek: I just get a browned upside-down apple pie - a gooey mush that sticks to the pan and makes for a mess of a presentation (but tastes good anyway).
Hard apples - not cooking apples, high heat and an iron skillet seem to be important. Some people seem to have no trouble getting it right, but I never do.
Here's a recipe. If you can make it right, it ain't too terribly bad with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream on the side.
The Strange History of Final Games in Stadiums Slated for Demolition.
The departure of the Dodgers from Brooklyn may be a legendary moment even for those in the borough who weren't born yet, but remarkably few turned out to bear witness: Only 6,702 showed up at Ebbets Field on September 24, 1957, to hear organist Gladys Gooding play "California, Here I Come." According to a contemporary report in Sports Illustrated, the sparse crowd "seemed to regard the occasion as just another ball game." (This wasn't, incidentally, the final baseball game at Ebbets: Long Island University played its home games there in 1959, and on August 23 of that year, the one and only Satchel Paige yielded the final Ebbets home run, in an exhibition game of Black and Latino stars before about 4,000 fans.) Five days later, just 11,606 showed up to bid farewell to the Giants at the Polo Grounds; when the Mets later made the big Manhattan horseshoe their home for two seasons, their finale drew an even more piddling 1,752. The wave of vintage stadiums that fell to the wrecking ball in the early '70s—Sportsman's Park, Forbes Field, Crosley Field—to make way for the "concrete donut" craze fared somewhat better, but still, none sold out their final games.
Something that was a common sight on the final days of ballparks in that era: looting.
The second reason Bill Clinton wants Obama to lose.
For many months now we have been treated to Bill Clinton's intermittent displeasure with Barack Obama. Sometimes it has been overt, sometimes covert. Most recently, while being fawned over by the ladies at The View, he allowed as how Hillary did not really want the vice-presidential nomination after all. (This makes sense to me, by the way.) At the Democratic Convention, he delivered a far better speech than the candidate, showing up the less experienced Illinois Senator without really doing anything for his presidential campaign. In fact, he seems to speak more postively of McCain–especially off the cuff–only the other day lavishing praise on the Arizonan and defending his decision to skip the first debate to work on the financial crisis with an obvious fact most of us had forgotten - McCain had previously asked Obama for repeated, even constant debates, which the Democratic candidate refused. (The mainstream media made nothing of this, needless to say.) Indeed it seems Clinton wants Obama to lose.
The explanation for this behavior, says the conventional wisdom, is that Clinton wants McCain to win to give his wife another shot at the presidency in 2012. I wouldn't doubt there is validity to this. But I submit there is a second reason, perhaps equally important: Clinton genuinely wants McCain to win for the good of the country.
Another Real-Life Roy Hobbs.
Regular readers of this blog will remember the profile of Eddie Waitkus I had a few weeks ago.
Bernard Malamud borrowed heavily from the Eddie's life to create the character of Roy Hobbes for The Natural, but he still needed bits and pieces to round out the character. Enter Carvel William "Bama" Rowell:
On May 30, [Bama] Rowell and the Braves were in Flatbush facing the Dodgers in a Saturday afternoon doubleheader. In the second inning of the second game, facing Hank Behrman, a Brooklyn-native, Rowell launched a high fly ball to right field that struck the famous Bulova Clock that stood atop the scoreboard. Bama's blast shattered the face of the clock, raining glass down on Dodgers right fielder Dixie Walker. The ball was in play, and Rowell ended up on second base with a double that kept a Boston seven-run rally alive. The clock however, was not alive. It stopped working exactly one hour after the ball's impact, which occurred at 4:25 p.m.
Pirates Die Strangely After Hijacking Iranian Ship.
Iran's Oil Woes Threaten the Mullahs.
Despite the rising unpopularity at home, what worries Iran's leadership even more is that, as history has shown them, lowering oil prices could mean having to be flexible with the West. This was first shown in the mid 1980s, when Iran was fighting Iraq. Midway through the war, many countries were calling for a ceasefire, but Khomeini didn't listen. He was confident that his forces could go on fighting and topple Saddam. In order to finance this ambition, Tehran attacked oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, with the hope of pushing oil prices up. This didn't work. By 1988, the falling oil price finally forced Ayatollah Khomeini to take the painful decision of accepting a ceasefire with Saddam Hussein, something which he likened to "drinking a chalice of poison."
The same happened in 1997. The Asian crisis of that year, which led to a crash in oil prices to less than $10 per barrel, was one of the major motivators behind Iran's rapprochement with the West, headed by the reformist administration of Ayatollah Khatami. Low oil prices were again a factor behind Iran's Western-friendly policy of temporarily suspending uranium enrichment in 2005. In fact one of the reasons Iran felt confident enough to stop the suspension was that oil prices started increasing sharply in August that year.
What this all could mean is that if oil prices fall to $70 per barrel or below, Ahmadinejad may find it difficult to maintain the same level of belligerence against the West. Things could get much worse for him if Obama is elected. His pledge to invest $150 billion in renewable energy could very well burst more bubbles around oil prices, thus pulling them to more unbearable lows for right-wingers in Iran — so low that the words "suspension of uranium enrichment" may turn from blasphemy into a realistic option.
Just Die. It's Your Duty.
An evil woman touted as "the influential medical ethics expert Baroness Warnock" says it's time for some tough love and hard death among the demented of England. Call it "the culling the herd to save some money" ethic. Warnock says, "If you're demented, you're wasting people's lives – your family's lives – and you're wasting the resources of the National Health Service."
Or, as Orin Judd so succinctly puts it: "Ever notice how "medical ethics" is nothing more than justifying murder.
We do and we also note how this is a rising trend in the "ethical" thinking of Europe. Or perhaps we shouldn't say "trend" as much as a nostalgic yearning for the past century where an interest in eugenics amongst the "leaders" of that civilization was part of the biggest butcher's bill in history.
Where have we seen this sort of "cost crisis" medical thinking in Europe before? Oh yes, that would be the Hadamar Hospital AKA the Hadamar Euthanasia Center .
When the power of the state is coupled with the ability to ration out health care (or not), there is the enivetable temptation to cut costs by eliminating some of the more "expensive" patients.
It begins by denying services to the undeserving. Why should taxpayers pay for smokers cancer treatments or liver transplants for alcoholics? They did this to themselves, goes the argument. Shouldn't scarce resources be reserved for those who are truly deserving?
Then there are the patients who have no socially useful future (in the eyes of eugenics supporters). The argument has a certain utilitarian logic: why should we waste resources on the profoundly disabled when we could be building bridges or schools with the same money?
Finally, those near the end of their lives must culled. Why have someone linger, possibly in great pain and with no hope of recovery at the cost of thousands of taxpayer dollars?
The answer is simple. We care for the sick, the disabled, and the elderly because every life matters.
Each and every life has value and not only to the one who possess it. This isn't an argument about assisted suicide, that's a topic for another day. Most of us have known friends or relatives who have faced painful ends and we may have wished that we could have alleviated their suffering with the release of death. But that death would be on their terms-not at the behest of the state because of budget cuts.
The weakest in our society will always be vulnerable to the whims of people like Baroness Warnock. Those of us who value our humanity need to vigorously oppose her and those like her at every turn.
God, Patriotism and Taxes.
Heavens! The political left likes to score Republicans for claiming that God is on their side, but here we have Mr. Biden claiming support from both God and Caesar. If Sarah Palin tried this, she'd send the boys at the Daily Kos into cardiac arrest. We won't get into a theological debate with Mr. Biden, except to say that Biblical tax rates tended to run around 10%, not the 39.6%-plus that Barack Obama's tax plan calls for.
Call It Slavery.
It's the one of the greatest human rights issues of our time...and almost nobody talks about it. Even fewer try to do something about it. Shame on all of us.
EPA Shuts Down Local Ghost-Entrapment Business.
NEW YORK—Citing unsafe practices and potential toxic contamination, the Environmental Protection Agency shut down a small ghost- entrapment operation in downtown Manhattan today, and had four of the business' spectral-containment specialists arrested in the process.
According to EPA agent Walter Peck, employees of the company—located in an old fire station in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York—had repeatedly refused to grant him access to their storage facility, which posed a health hazard to the surrounding community.
"The facility in question unlawfully used public utilities for the purpose of non-sanctioned waste-handling, and was in direct violation of the Environmental Protection Act," Peck said. "Additionally, this company possessed several unlicensed portable nuclear accelerators that were frequently discharged within mere feet of civilians."
Typical. The heavy hand of government intrudes once again upon the private sector. Nothing good can come of this. I'm not saying Gozer the Gozerian is going to try to take over New York City but if there is a problem...who ya gonna call?
Sarah Palin's Faith, and Mine.
Though you won't read it in the New York Times, I'm pretty sure that most of my fellow Christians follow a similar practice. We vote for and against candidates' political programs, not for and against their religious practice. That is as it should be in a society as religiously diverse as ours is.
But there's a flip side to that proposition. While my faith should never be treated like a job qualification in a political campaign, neither should its absence.

Jay Tea on the bailout.
It's a kind of negative evidence, but it's persuasive to me: the Democrats have a solidly established record of being utterly and completely wrong on the whole mess. They are now acting as if the situation isn't so bad, and are still far more interested in playing their run-of-the-mill political games with the whole process. If they are still wrong (and the odds are highly in favor of that conclusion), then we are in real trouble and the bailout that they don't seem to care about whether or not it passes is probably a necessary evil.

Jet-Setting Greens.
"Green living is largely something of a myth," Dr. Barr told the Guardian newspaper. "There is this middle class environmentalism where being green is part of the desired image. But another part of the desired image is to fly off skiing twice a year. And the carbon savings they make by not driving their kids to school will be obliterated by the pollution from their flights."

Hey everyone. Lately I been posting that I want to lose weight by my 22 birthday this summer. And to help me reach that glow I finally was able to sign up for a gym membership on Friday. I will be going to Good Life Fitness 2 or 3 times a week. I don't plan on working out for hours at a time, just an hour a day. Also to help me achieve my goals I picked up a proper pair of shoes. They are by Asics and they are very comfortable. I even was able to get this pair on sale for $80 when the original price was $120. To be able to work out and reach your goals, you need to have proper shoes to keep you comfortable. They will help keep your feet safe and help with back strain. So I will keep you posted on my trips to the gym.
Till next time!

- Free Quiz – How Systemized Are You?
And that means you do it all yourself. The emails, the website, the quotes, the marketing, the phone calls, the social media, the client work… who has time to get it all done?
Sticking to a schedule or adding structure in your business is nearly impossible and you feel like your head is going to explode every day.
You have attempted to "manage" your schedule before but it got lost in the "trying to fit in clients" here and there.
But the tech is scary (and boring), distractions are endless, focus goes out the window by noon, and there goes another day where you feel massively UN-productive.
Trust me sister, I get it.
And this is where I come in. I'm not going to state the obvious (ok well, I am) – you need help!
No, I'm not another high-price / low-expertise guru. I'm sure you've had your fill of those. Your time is precious and I don't want you to spend hours (that you don't have) banging your head against the wall! I want you to rock your business and free up your headspace.
This is doable – because now is your time for more sanity, savvy, and success.
Don't get the wrong idea. This isn't a generic cheat sheet or blueprint. This isn't the latest fad or shiny object. What I offer are simple, effective systems, tools, and resources that will help you get from where you are now to where you want to go.
Even if you…
…think you're "just not meant to be organized" and figure at some point you can just pay someone to run your business.
…hate the idea of spending even more time on the computer. Can't your business just grow automagically?
…tried expensive CRM / marketing programs and they did nothing for you.
…think you don't have the time.
…have already done some research and know you need to capture leads, follow-up with prospects, should be doing webinars or "crushing it" with Facebook ads and apparently podcasting is the next big thing, but aren't really sure what you should really be focusing on, so why not just eat another pint of gelato and watch some Real Housewives? (I'm from Orange County, and omg YES, RHOC is JUST like how it's portrayed.)

The arts mean BUSINESS in Hillsborough County! A new economic impact study released today by the Americans for the Arts shows that Hillsborough County's nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and their audiences generate $433 MILLION in annual economic activity.
Arts Industry a Boon for Local Businesses
In addition to spending by organizations, our local nonprofit arts and culture industry leverages $258 MILLION in event-related spending by audiences. As a result of attending a cultural event, attendees often eat dinner in local restaurants, pay for parking, buy gifts and souvenirs, and pay a babysitter. What's more, attendees from out of town often stay overnight in a local hotel.
Analyzed down to individual spending, people who attend arts events here are important drivers of our local economy.
On average residents spend $38 per person and nonresidents spend $68 per person while enjoying our vibrant arts and culture events.
In Hillsborough County, the new Arts and Economic Prosperity 5 study also shows our NONPROFIT arts and culture industry supports 15,000 fulltime equivalent jobs and generates $52 MILLION in revenue to state and local government.
"As longtime patrons of the arts, we place immense value in art's ability to convene, intrigue and delight. Art is a universal good, transcendent of countless divisions. As we work toward a more vibrant Tampa Bay, the arts must be a central priority." – Jeff and Penny Vinik
AEP5 is the most comprehensive economic impact study of the nonprofit arts and culture industry ever conducted in the United States. It was conducted by Americans for the Arts in partnership with Hillsborough County and other local, regional, and statewide agencies across the country who contributed both time and financial support to the study.
When compared to other study regions of similar size across the country, Hillsborough County was noted as consistently higher than those communities.
"Tampa Bay is a vibrant, creative community. This study shows that our cultural institutions and creators are helping our economy grow and thrive – their economic impact and jobs tied to them are higher compared to other regions and the national average. I see every year during my Congressional Art Competition aimed at fostering the budding talents of our high school artists, how much further we can go by championing this industry. Tampa Bay will continue to attract National Endowment for the Art and Humanities grants to rev the economic engine found in arts and culture." – U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, 14th District
The Arts Council worked throughout 2016 with 76 eligible nonprofit cultural organizations to collect various types of financial data and with them gathered 2,114 surveys from event attendees.
The Americans for the Arts analyzed the information this year to produce the AEP5 study. We are grateful to the Hillsborough County Economic Development Department and to the Gobioff Foundation for their support which enabled us to obtain results for the overall county and to specifically separate out the City of Tampa data. The last such study conducted locally was in 2008.
Nationwide, the Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 reveals that the nonprofit arts industry produces $166.3 billion in economic activity every year, resulting in $27.5 billion in federal, state and local tax revenues. In addition, it supports 4.6 million fulltime equivalent jobs and generates $96.1 billion in household income.
The Arts Council is Hillsborough County's state-designated local arts agency that advocates for and provides a unified voice for cultural organizations and activities in Tampa and Hillsborough County. We support and promote the good news about the cultural vitality of our community, making it more appealing to new residents, tourists and employers looking for a new home.

I am in a relationship with and living with someone who, it seems most indicators would point to being somewhere on the spectrum, although we have never discussed it outright and I don't believe he has ever been tested. It's a bit difficult as we live in a quite small bachelor suite, meaning we have only one large room for our kitchen, bedroom and living room, other than a separate bathroom of course, so personal space is limited.
I have a specific question about how to handle something that happened last night. There have been a few times when we have been close in bed, and I have accidentally not taken into account my proximity to his ears and talked at a normal voice, which scares him, hurts his ear and very quickly overstimulates him. He reacts very strongly and very negatively. I of course do not do this on purpose. But in many months of spending time close, it has only happened a handful of times, and I feel it is an understandable mistake to make. Last night it happened, and he yelled, launched up out of the bed. When he came back to bed, didn't want to be touched (understandably) and eventually left to go sleep in the van which we have (he sometimes does this when alone time is needed, which is good in my opinion..as long as it doesn't mean issues are being avoided when they should be addressed).
He came back in the morning before work, and told me last night really made him angry. That even if I didn't do it intentionally, it meant I was being careless. And as he said, "at some point I need to stop being mad at you, and start being mad at myself for allowing you to be that close to me." Which was, of course, extremely hurtful. As the idea that something so small and accidental would cause him to permanently want to keep me at arms length makes me feel like absolute ***. I understand he would not react so strongly if it didn't affect him strongly though, so am trying as much as I can to empathize and not be hurt. However; I want to tell him that I'm sorry for not being more aware, and that I'll do my best effort to remember in the future, because of course I will, it benefits me none to be loud in his ear. It is entirely a mistake. But I am now petrified of this happening again. He is so hostile about it though. Can I get some advice, please?? Not sure how to handle or approach this.... :(
I think if you are petrified of the person you are in a relationship with, it may be time to question if this is a relationship worth being in.
Hi, sorry, I have no solution to contribute really, other than whispering as a default in bed (which, given that it's a place for sleeping, would actually not seem all that strange to me).
Anyway, the reason why I'm writing this comment is more to say that to me you sound like a genuinely nice girlfriend to have, and I guess you wouldn't write about him the way you do if you didn't have lots of reasons for being in a relationship with him. So this comment isn't so much aimed at you but rather at others - I hope someone can make some suggestion towards helping them to get over this issue or just say nothing if it would go down that we-ND-you-NT-and-you-will-never-understand-us route again like a few days ago and make someone feel guilty for making the effort to understand something they find somehow tricky to deal with (and understandably so).

Restaurateur Dave Kwiatkowski of Detroit Optimist Society - Biography
Detroit, MI
After graduating from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in 2000, Dave Kwiatkowski moved to Chicago, where he traded equity options on the Chicago Board Options Exchange. But a trip to New York and a Queens Park Swizzle from Milk & Honey changed everything. The aughts found Dave back in Detroit exploring his other interests—like building motorcycles. The shop he owned with his brothers even spawned a Discovery Channel series, "Motor City Motors," in 2009. But Kwiatkowski had been bitten by the craft cocktail bug years before, and he realized his dream of opening a craft cocktail bar of his own, The Sugar House, that same year.
With the opening of The Sugar House, Kwiatkowski discovered his deep affection for hospitality. Shortly after, he teamed up with friend and veteran chef Marc Djozlija to open the American small plates restaurant and bar, Wright & Company, in downtown Detroit. The restaurant helped the neighborhood complete the leap from sinking to thriving.
Kwiatkowski is now a partner in several other properties, including Honest John's, The Peterboro, Café 78, the SuperHappySushi pop-up, and most recently, The Bad Luck Bar with Djozlija. Kwiatkowski recently formed Detroit Optimist Society as a parent group to house and to provide financial oversight, as well as marketing and human resource services for his growing family of restaurants.

The Amazon Juggernaut Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You
Whole Foods Market fills important distribution gap for Amazon's ambitions
An old maxim in retail is: Location, Location, Location. Amazon.com has successfully twisted that to its own ends for much of its life, but the logic still holds.
The e-commerce giant built much of its early fortune by stockpiling Harry Potter books in huge warehouses in the Nevada desert and shipping them relatively cheaply throughout the West. That did to the bookselling industry what Amazon has now done to a range of retailers. But books don't grow mold after a couple of days. So while Amazon has pushed to get ever closer...

Food as Fuel
That's my philosophy in a nutshell
Americans have more wealth, greater access to information, and a larger fitness industry than any other country in the world—yet adjusted for those things, we are the most obese country in the world.
We view food as fun, rather than fuel. We view it as entertainment, rather than sustainment.
Going on the Offense
I hate diets. Diets puts you on the defense. Diets teach you which foods to avoid. A plan, however, puts you on the offense. A plan teaches you which foods to pursue.
So I'm simply going to compile some foundational resources here that I hope will help you view food as fuel, so you can go on the offense.
That may surprise you, coming from me. But I'm tired of Americans acting like nutrition is a really big deal.
I won't pretend for a split second to know much about cooking—or to be anywhere near good at it. But I do know that with a little creativity, it's possible to make some of your favorite foods while staying within the framework of macrobolic nutrition.
And pancakes are no exception.
"Sugar is sugar, alas." That's a quote from Dr. Marion Nestle, the Paulette Goddard Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University. And she's much smarter than me.
Macrobolic nutrition is the stacking of macronutrients in each meal and snack throughout the day to fuel your body's natural metabolic processes; resulting in healthy muscles and fat loss.
Your body is comprised of somewhere between 50-75% water, depending on a few factors. This makes hydration the absolute foundation of proper nutrition.

Happy Thursday! Are you an eavesdropper or a bit of a gossip? Then you'll love this week's #TBT!
Title: Harriet the Spy // Louise Fitzhugh, published 1964
Memories: I have to be honest. Harriet the Spy came into my life as the 1996 movie with Michelle Tratchenburg and Rosie O'Donnell. But after seeing the movie (which I loved), I read the book and loved it just as much. The movie is actually pretty true to the book, so it is unsurprising that I enjoyed both. I remember thinking Harriet was nosy but also awesome and I relished in her adventures going up and down the dumbwaiter or watching Harrison and his cats. And, of course, I thought Marion Hawthorne was terrible and Sport and Janie were fantastic, as you all should.
Thoughts as an adult: It certainly brought me right back to my childhood and my memories of the movie, and I really enjoyed reading it. Louise Fitzhugh does a marvelous job of writing for young readers without oversimplifying it and she handles some weighty topics. Reading it as an adult I realize how complicated Harriet really is and I love that about the story.
Does it hold up? I think so. It was certainly a fun experience for me, as I dwell in the memories associated with it, and I can definitely see the totally unrealistic aspects of the story. It has a lot of plot holes and "super" moments where Harriet should totally get caught or there's no way kids would do that. But overall it isn't an overly simple children's book and Louise Fitzhugh really plays with the messy nature of life and learning.
Let me know your thoughts on Harriet the Spy in the comments or on Twitter @GameandRead. And don't forget to follow us on WordPress, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, and Litsy!
Until next time, happy reading!

I have always liked big storms, the sound of thunders, water, and the smell in the air…
Sam Javanrouh did this amazing timelapse video of a Toronto storm.
He did a 347 frame shot on Canon 5D Mark II and Sigma 12-24.
Using 15 seconds exposures at f8, at 17 seconds intervals.
He also recorded the sound and then put everything together :)

Photovoltaic Carport Shades in San Diego
There isn't much that's more renewable than solar energy, and we give the TreeHugger thumbs-up to anyone who uses it. But somebody working for the San Diego Environmental Services Department is a real smarty-pants: the photovoltaic panels in the parking lot keep cars shady, too! The panels here and elsewhere on the center make it the City's first energy independent building, and the carport array powers the 87,000 kilowatt-hours-a-year administration building (saving $16,551 every year). While it's just plain more comfy to get into a car that hasn't been baking in the sun all day, it can contribute to energy savings since you won't have to blast the A/C to get the car's temperature back down to habitable. ::San Diego Environmental Services [by KK]

X-Men: Apocalypse Viral Marketing Does 80s Album Covers
20th Century Fox seems to be learning from other studios in the marketing of their movies, at least where the X-Men franchise is concerned. They used to have the most godawful posters ever, and now they're putting out okay-looking artwork. They also appear to be inspired by the viral marketing for their own "Deadpool" (though the credit really belongs to that movie's star and filmmakers).
For "X-Men: Apocalypse", Fox has done some amusing stuff. Last month, they released a bunch of 80s-style playable arcade games online. And today, they took went one further in homaging that era with a series of music album covers featuring their mutant characters. These designs parody the likes of David Bowie's "Let's Dance", Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf", Flock of Seagulls' "I Run", Culture Club's "Church of the Poison Mind", and Corey Hart's "Sunglasses at Night". Cute, no?
Here's the official synopsis: "Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
X-Men: Apocalypse stars James McAvoy as Charles Xaver, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Lucas Till as Havok and newcomers Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Ben Hardy as Angel, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Olivia Munn as Psylocke and Lana Condor as Jubilee. Oscar Isaac is starring as the film's title antagonist."
"X-Men: Apocalypse" premieres 19th May here and 27th May in the US.

Exotic/Disgusting Foods and Beverages Forum--Kimchi
1 comment:
Korea have been in poverty for this two thousand years.They took calories mainly from rice,sticky short grain type.They lacked the skill in sailing as they did not know of sailcloth,Therefore no fishery there and the matter worse no habit in dairy-farming. They took protein only from bean.As a result the food is too simple to eat.Korean wives are very busy of lazy and do not cook daily.ReplyDelete
Japanese girls were trained as joining cooking school after work.Otherwise it is hard for normal girls to be skillful in cooking. Koreans always copy our tradition.However, it is difficult to complete something without training.Better to have bread and butter with cooked eggs and milk coffee or tea.
You should not eat kimchi in dependently but mix with white rice in your mouth or put a bit on rice beforehand.White rice and kimchi can not attain nutrition balance as our statics shows.Japan has one of highest life expectancy in the world.Korea has not.

They were mass produced to turn the tide of World War 2, and yet relatively few exist today, but at Greenwood Lake Airport on August 18-19, a handful will be on hand to honor all those who served, both then and now. The airshow in West Milford on Saturday and Sunday August 18-19 will feature many vintage aircraft, most notably a vintage B-25 Mitchell medium bomber named "Miss Hap" which was once owned by Howard Hughes and was the personal transport of General "Hap" Arnold, a C-47 transport in D-Day markings and an several Russian aircraft including a cold-war era L-29 jet, as well as acrobatic aviation acts that will stun and excite both young and old.
Special World War 2 veteran guests will include members of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, African American aviators from World War II most notably featured in the film "Red Tails". These are the men who helped break the race barrier during the war when the nation's armed forces were segregated. The group, flying P-51 Mustang fighters from Italy, successfully escorted formations of American bombers deep into Germany and never lost an aircraft under their protection to enemy fighter action. The group was a favorite of Eleanor Roosevelt who proved to be their key mentor and benefactor. As recent as 2007, the Tuskegee Airmen were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal from President Bush. It is the highest congressional honor that can be awarded to a civilian.
Some notable veteran guests appearing will be:
2nd Lt. Jack Widowski- Jack Widowski was the Navigator from the B-29 "Top Secret" of the famous atomic missions that brought World War 2 to a close.
Lt. Gottfried Dulias- In 1944, at the age of 18, Gottfried was entered into the Air Academy #2 at Berlin-Gatow. He went on to fight in the war, becoming a 5 time ace without actually killing a single pilot, until 1945 when he was shot down over Russian territory. He was captured and sent into a Russian Gulag outside of Stalingrad where he was forced to work 19 hour days hard labor in nearby factories. After 3 years inside the camp, weighing a sickly 67 pounds, Gottfried was released and returned home in 1948.
Lt. JG Robert S. Krause- Robert joined the U.S. Navy in April of 1942 and began a series of flight training that ended in November of 1943. At that time, he was commissioned Ensign A-V and a Designated Naval Aviator. He then completed Primary Flight Instructor's School in February 1944 and went on to serve as a Flight Instructor for British Naval Cadets flying the Stearman at Minneapolis and Bunker Hill. Krause has also instructed in the OS-2U and the N3N Float Planes. Krause has over 1,200 hours of flight time in the Navy.
From the Tuskegee Airmen:
Julius Freeman - Mr. Freeman was a Tuskegee Airman from 1944 to 1948 who fought in World War II and he is one of the Documented Original Tuskegee Airmen (DOTA). Julius was born in Kentucky and raised in Columbus, Ohio. After the war, he became a prominent car dealer in New York with celebrity clientele that included the Dodgers' Pee Wee Reese as well as James Brown.
Dr. Eugene J. Richardson, Jr. Pilot, class 45A- Dr. Richardson served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. Eugene was living in Camden, NJ, when he earned the status of Pre Aviation Cadet in the Army Air Corps. He entered active duty in October 1943, at Keesler Field, Mississipi for basic military training. In February, 1944 Eugene went to Tuskegee, Alabama for pilot training and subsequently received his pilot's wings and officer's commission on March 11, 1945.
John L. Harrison, Jr.- Mr. Harrison's military career started in 1943 as an Air Cadet, having graduated (Class of 43K) from Tuskegee AAF. During service John was a pilot on all types of planes in the U.S. Air Force. He became "Command Pilot", the highest pilot rating in the U.S. Air Force. Over fifty Pacific Ocean crossings and thirty-five Atlantic Ocean crossings as a Military Air Transport Service (MATS) pilot. He lived, stationed and traveled in Europe, Asia, Africa, Pacific and Arctic Areas. John retired Air Force Officer - twenty two years service.
Also on hand will be the The Army Air Forces Historical Association, an Oradell-based group of interactive living historians who provide tales of the harrowing experiences of World War II in the air with a nationally acclaimed interactive display. The group's fully operational Norden Bombsite, the only one of its kind on the East Coast, will allow visitors to "put one in the pickle barrel" during a simulated bomb run and experience the thrill, hazards, anxiety and accomplishment of combat flying from long ago.
Come mingle with World War II reenactors whose encampments and displays will history come to life in a way that can't be found in books or documentaries.
We have lined up many top-flight air show performers, most notably headlining air show performer Gary Ward and sharing the spotlight will be the Twin Tigers Demo team, a dual vintage Russian Yak performance flown by Mark Sorenson and Buck Roetman. Also appearing will be returning favorite Jane Wicker and her wing walking act, Kirk Wicker and his comedy Cub performance, The Northeast Raiders, a 5-6 ship formation team, and featuring Hotwire Harry and his great escape, who will try to escape from Sheriff Roscoe of Aileron County Jail.
Each day from 11 until 4 p.m., aircraft will fill the skies, from formation flying to thrilling stunts, at an airfield that has its own share of unique history.
Greenwood Lake Airport is home to one of the last remaining examples of the Lockheed Constellation, a four-engine mainstay of passenger airline service in the 1940s and 50s. Nicknamed "Connie," the aircraft is part of a flying legacy that was the forerunner of today's jetliner passenger service.
During the heyday of neighboring Jungle Habitat, a Warner Brothers theme park of the 1970s, the airfield was known as Nairobi Airport and sported aircraft in zebra stripes. Today it serves as a key general aviation airport for the region.
Daily admission to the airshow is $20 for adults, $15 for Seniors (65+), $10 for Children (5-12). Children under age 5 are admitted free of charge. Gates will open from 10am til 5pm.
Parking is ample and food vendors will be on hand for your dining pleasure. There is also a car show and live music on the field as well. Greenwood Lake Airport is located at 126 Airport Road in West Milford, NJ.
So please join us for a weekend of excitement and history will make for an unforgettable and moving experience.
For more information on the airshow and airport, please visit our Web site at www.greenwoodlakeairport.com or call 973-728-7721.

James Cameron is planning to team with Will Staples, a writer from the Call of Duty games, for a "sci-fi action project." They'll be joined by Cameron's Avatar star Sam Worthington and Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
Heat Vision reports that 20th Century Fox is in early talks with Staples to acquire his pitch, which is called Myth. Cameron is already attached to executive-produce and di Bonaventura and Worthington are attached as producers.
Cameron won't direct the film -- he's spending the next 15 years making Avatar sequels at the Earth's core, don't you know? -- and at this point in the proceedings Worthington won't star either. Might depend on how Clash of the Titans 2 turns out!
"Nothing is known about Myth other than it's big, it's sci-fi, and it's got lots of action," says HV.

Children who go through child abuse almost never tell any one about the what they are going through. Mainly because they feel embarrassed as anything of that sort is considered a taboo subject around here.
Parents need to educate their children from a young age about this pressing matter so they know when they are being violated. And rather than feeling embarrassed they can tell someone about it and stop the perpetrators.
Lots of children do not even know they are being sexually abused at the time it starts. Which causes anxiety and other psychological/emotional problems in the kid in the later stages of life.
So I think it is about time when parents and schools around here started disseminating the basic sex education to help children have a better and safe childhood.
Lets help stop child abuse.

In ten years you won't remember me... you won't remember if my hair was purple or pink. If I showed up wearing some crazy leopard print dress (I probably did). Because I'll be invisible for the most part. I'll come and go, capturing details and smiles from your wedding party and guests. Chances are you won't even notice if I'm there.
In ten years, you'll want to be able to look back. Maybe you'll remember by pulling an album off the shelf or a box that's chalk full of images you had printed. And then... you will remember is the way your new spouse looked at you. The emotions you felt as you walked down the aisle. You'll remember your family, your friends and those other estranged relatives that come out of the woodwork for milestone events. You'll remember the tears your father cried, the only tears you've ever seen him shed. And the way your grandparents danced like no one was watching. The couples who undoubtedly leave weddings more in love than before, because your love is contagious. You'll sort through images and remember those things, those moments, and those emotions. Maybe you'll be showing the images to your kids. I'll bet your very favorite image will still be displayed on your living room wall.
I love spending time getting to know my clients during their planning process, by keeping in contact via emails, an exclusive brides group and brides are welcome to text me as well! I'm there to assist with timeline creation, bounce ideas off of and help create a plan to get the most out of your photography package. Well before your wedding day, there will be a carefully created plan in place.
On the day of your wedding, I'll arrive 15 to 20 minutes before our scheduled start time, to get settled in. This little bit of time allows me to make minor adjustments to camera settings and make sure everything is perfect! Whether you'd like to start with prep photos or you want to begin the moment you put on your dress, I'll be there and ready to start right on time. I'll shoot the quick details (rings, jewelry, dress, etc.) and photograph you getting into your dress. From there, I'll head to meet with the groom & groomsmen for those quick detail & prep shots, then we'll make our way to your first look.
If you've chosen to have a first look, myself or my second will set your groom up in a perfect location where we can see you over his shoulder as you approach him from behind. You'll tap him on the shoulder and watch the magic as he turns around to smile at you.
At this point, you'll be free to spend some time with your hunny, squeeze in those family formals, or just hang with your tribe. I'll move around, getting those in between shots. If you've chosen to save or skip family formals, I'll head off to get those detail shots of your reception and ceremony spaces. (This is where it's super handy if you've chosen the collections that include a second photographer, as they can get these details while I photograph the fun you're having).
Your ceremony will fly by, and that first kiss will be magical.
You'll have the chance to take about 15-20 minutes to enjoy your first moments as husband and wife. I am able to spend these with you, quietly, and capturing these memories. This gives your guests time to move into the reception area before you head back to join the party. The rest of the night will fly by quickly. I'll photograph all the fun, including any special activities you choose to have. (Seriously, check out a smores bar. They're irresistible.)
When the time comes for you to leave, or my time ends at your wedding, I'll be sure to double check with you before leaving to make sure you're satisfied with what I've covered. Then, I'll head home to backup and download all the images from your wedding day.
While you jet off on your honeymoon, I'll cull through hundreds of photos, picking the best of the best and trashing anything that resembles those leaked Beyonce at the 2012 Super Bowl images. If you've selected to allow sneak peeks, you'll see these go up. Within 4-6 weeks, you'll receive a gallery link to view your wedding photos and instructions for downloading them while you wait for your USB and products. If you've selected an album, a preliminary design will be sent to you as well with the option to add/remove/change photos in the layouts!
But the best part? You're a #TeamMJBride for life. You can opt in to receive emails and are welcome to stay in the group for life. I love seeing where my brides lives head and keeping in touch.
I would love to customize a wedding package unique to you.
I firmly believe your wedding photography should start way before you wake up on your wedding day. You should have the chance to meet your photographer in person at least twice, and allow them to get to know you! I love spending time with my clients and learning what is truly important to them.
I was born right here in the Pacific Northwest and love to photographing weddings throughout the Pacific Northwest. Adventures are my jive. Ready to contact me?
