Upon reflection of the past occasionally a remembered comment or incident, insignificant or trivial at the time, may serve to snap an era into focus. Through that remembrance subsequent events take on a different context, a new perspective. It becomes in retrospect a "defining moment." Such are my reflections of Ocean County College over the past twenty-five years.
On my first official day at OCC, during a break in Convocation activities, a colleague took me on a tour of the campus. In the course of our walk around the college, my colleague commented that "no one gets fired from OCC unless they've committed a crime. OCC is family." Having come from a college with a tenure quota system, this was a comforting thought.
As with most families, there were differences of opinion on how to move forward, on how to best carry out the college mission. At times the tenor of the debate was paternalistic, past President Milton Shaw "knew best;" at other times the discussions turned acrimonious, even personal and hurtful. Yet at their most personal and confrontational, there was always a sense that at the heart of the controversy was a desire to do best for the college, for the students rather than the advancement of a self-serving agenda or achievement of personal glory.
For the most part exchanges between administration and faculty and establishment of college policies were conducted in public during the monthly meetings of the college governance body. The first governance body, the College Assembly, consisted of all administrators and full-time faculty. The College Assembly, which provided for a two-thirds majority override of presidential vetoes, then morphed into the College Forum which did not allow for overriding vetoes, but did include representation from the other college constituencies. Thus during the Shaw years the college "family" managed most of its business in an open public manner.
For me the defining moment of the current era occurred shortly after Jon Larson took office in 2001. The college was contacted by a group of Russian entrepreneurs who wished to partner with the college and maintain a Russian submarine to be based in Seaside as a tourist attraction. A meeting of Larson, some science faculty, and the Russians was held in Larson's office at which the particulars of the partnership were discussed. Among the details was that the submarine as a tourist attraction would eventually be not only financially self-sustaining but a new revenue source for the college, and it could be used (when not taking tourists down to the bottom of the ocean) to augment OCC's marine program. All of this for an initial start-up fee of 2 million dollars.
The proposal was absurd on many levels. OCC is a 2-year community college with a marine program consisting of one course offered only in the summer. The waters off the Jersey shore are notoriously muddy with minimal visibility – what would tourists be able to see? Dull, brown fish in brown water?
The fact that this bizarre idea was even entertained to the point of actually convening a meeting to discuss it is revealing as to Larson's mindset. It indicates an attraction for and interest in pursuing anything entrepreneurial which has characterized many college decisions. It seems that it's all about the money, not about the students or about education.
Contemplation, albeit briefly, of the idea of a community college owning and operating a submarine for profit illustrates a rather tenuous hold on reality. Unlike the Beatles' song, at OCC we do not all live in a yellow submarine only the college president does. With no shared governance to speak of, there is no forum for exchange of ideas. Out of touch with reality and the college community and with only the smell of money as a guide, college programs and policies are established with little regard for education, students, or college employees.
So in twenty-five years Ocean County College has descended from democratically conducting business through the College Assembly to autocratic management from a yellow submarine at the bottom of the sea where the sky is blue and sea is green.

Clucido - when and where are you having the whipple and what type are you going to have (and what I'm really asking here is whether or not you'll be having the laprascopic version)? About a year ago, I had the laprascopic whipple and spent 5 days/nights in the hospital recovering before discharge. I guess I would say that I don't remember much from the first couple of days following surgery (except for a tremendous thirst after I came to following the procedure). I definitely needed the pain-killers for the duration of my stay in the hospital, and decreasing doses for around a month after my return home. In my case, things went pretty smoothly at home for about 10 days, when I suddenly had greatly increased pain. It turned out to be caused by 2 abscesses on my liver that apparently resulted from the surgery - so if you experience a radical shift in pain - don't hesitate to contact your doctor/surgeon right away. I did find - and still do - that my digestive track doesn't quite function in the way it used to (meaning that I need to get to the bathroom very promptly), but all-in-all, recovery from the surgery wasn't too bad. Some of the subsequent treatments ... well, that was another matter, so if you are scheduled for follow-on chemo or (especially) radiation, let me know and I can share such information as I have about what's to come. Best regards, JMS

text: We loved Hash House A Go Go in the Hillcrest area of San Diego. It was nice to be away from the hustle bustle of the Gaslamp District. The portions were huge and the food was great! It's midwestern fusion and delicious. Plus the restaurant looks like it's in a craftsman-like hoouse and the decor inside is handsome with beautiful b&w photographs of mid-western farm machinery. Good moderately priced wine list with some of our favorites from the Central Coast.

I am not sure what people get involving spreading misconceptions about Islam. I fall upon articles almost everyday in which written to spread hate against Islam. Today's article is titled, France's Proposed Burqa Ban A Great Start by Brenda Runner. I don't know much about Brenda but from reading her article she seems like she just hates everyone but she is. She is against immigration even though her elders were immigrants. This article talks about how Muslim women are suppressed much more strict Islam is. I only wish people did some research before endeavouring to defame Islam.
The second day of Ramadan could be the day that Moses received the Torah, the tenth day is observed while day that Muhammad's first wife Khadijah died. Day 12 is observed while day Jesus received the gospel.
Over your next decade, the U.S. would maintain an excellent military presence in Mecca saudi arabia and other Middle Eastern nations. This tactic made sure the petrodollar system remained dominant knowning that all oil was only sold in U.S. rupees. The major side-effect of the way was terrorism against the U.S.
Will: The media refuses to acknowledge we even are found! The liberal media doesn't to be able to talk to us because we're Tea Party. The left does not want to admit that Muslim communities might help together with libertarians and conservatives and Republicans. Position wing media isn't interested because we are Muslims we all believe in principles of liberty in our believe. So we are the antithesis of this bogey man they say we are generally. Basically our very existence challenges the narrative that both sides are using to create division the society and maintain control.
Let me begin by stating we respect and admire both Billy and Franklin Graham for their endless persistence for serving Fin. In saying that, I believe how the comments selection were just a little short sited. Yes, the Khaled Lamada speaks at Muslim day parade does have a very violent twist (ok, hurricane twist) in it but they can easily the Christian religion has a fairly violent past itself. Yes, I am a Christian in case anyone should wonder. However, I embrace the truth since my father is Truth amongst many other positive dominants things.
It ought to be stored in mind how the religion of Islam recognizes and clearly identifies an optimistic personal rights of your beings. Watching should never forget about being kind and compassionate to your parents. However, they are permitted to make their personal decisions by themself.
Health is widelly seen as a great blessing of Allah with a trust from the Almighty God (A'dab-e-Zindagi, 2007:15). Muslims strongly believe that health is important, for if one was unhealthy, then would likely not can easily continue to good deeds. Muslims have strong faith inside of Almighty Allah. They take on that they needs to do good deeds in this life, performing charitable works, taking care of their family, building a solid Islamic community, and mainly worshiping Allah, so that they can abide your eternal abode of Paradise.
When Jesus taught, "Leave all and follow me", the Master was encouraging you to leave behind full false notions and every condition that prevents through knowing how the divine parent you seek is your very heartbeat. Your heartbeat is the connection to this ancient path, the eternal religion of Prema — the Universal spiritual path of Prefer. Love is God, you are Really. There is no separation between and also your God, the union of love. As you surrender to the vibrations of eternal love within you, you automatically discover Lord.

Like we always do, we used public transport to get to our friend's apartment. I used to hate the fuss of every new public transport but now...
– Please visit our new blog We Just Travel on www.wejusttravel.com, new content is posted there – Hello there, we are Katja and Mic, I Need Toilet Paper travel blog team, and we have been traveling around Asia for 18 months, trying to perfect the art of budget traveling and writing a blog about it. We started with a month in Sri Lanka, used lots of toilet paper in 4 months in India (1 amazing month on Andaman islands), hiked in Nepal, ate everything in Thailand and went from living…
Oooh, they're not very comfy. It's actually not the comfort that's lacking but it takes forever and there's about 10 people too many for that small bus. 130km in 7 hours? We're popping anti motion sickness pills like crazy! Hey, even locals are emptying there stomachs in front and in the back.
Moving around on Flores is not very easy. You have to book a bus via travel agency and pay extra. The other option is to ask 20 people about the transport and they all give you different info and sometimes you wander aimlessly from one road to another. The minibuses go when they're full and bemos (big cars that drive short distances around the city) always want more money then it was said in the beginning. Ojeks (man on a motorbike) are kinda expensive as well and we would need two, for each his own. You can also use a truck, which is a truck with wooden benches (painful on your butt and spine) and renting a motorbike is super expensive. We always ask a local how much it costs because the price can easily triple. Even India was easier 🙂
As I've written in one of the previous posts, we won the Big Blog Exchange, one of the biggest blog challenges worldwide. There were around 700 blogs competing and we were chosen as one of the 16 blogs. Omg, I can't tell you how good it feels to be appreciated. We try so hard and push ourselves, and of course enjoy every minute. But we also spend a lot of time taking pictures, movies, editing, writing. Mic writes his blog in Slovenian, I write in English. We have a FB page for his blog and I run our Instagram. And then someone told us about this competition and we said: what the hell! Let's try it! We didn't really expect to win, Slovenia is just too small to be recognized. But we know we work with passion and we're proud of our work.
And we did it! 🙂
But there is two of us and only one position for exchange with Jono from Australia. It's like this. We are a team, we both work on this blog. And we just don't have the money to pay the plane ticket and costs of life for one more person for 10 days in Australia. And we had to pull out of the exchange. We are very sad because for a moment it all seemed like a dream.
We're so thankful the jury to have chosen us and we wish all the best to the person who's going to Australia.
We also bought some arak to drown our sorrow 😀
Of course you need to see a Komodo dragon, if you're so close to these big reptiles. We went on a boat trip to Rinca island (Komodo was too far) and to a few snorkeling spots.
Rinca is famous for Komodo dragons, wild pigs, water buffaloes and birds. It's also less popular than Komodo island and the possibility to see a dragon is greater. Komodo dragons are the largest lizards and can grow up to 3 m and weigh 70 kg. Huge! They can eat a whole buffalo in 20 minutes but leave the head with horns. It's too big for them 😀
Yaaaaaaaaay! The jury of The Big Blog exchange chose our blog as one of the winners of the challenge! 😀 We're thankful and very excited!
Two people exchange countries and blogs for 10 days. Should be interesting, right? 🙂
We had a long day today, we're in Ruteng on Flores and after breakfast we went on the most painful 2h truck ride (wooden seats and bad road. Need I say more?) to village from which we had problems getting back. So we overpaid the transport back and we came home so tired and cold (it's super cold here!). Buuut the good news made us happy!
Thank you all who voted for us**
The first day was the most memorable for sure.
We come to live in a paradise.
We go snorkeling and see 5 lion fish. Read More

Magnesium is considered to be one of the most important minerals for overall health, but the USDA still estimates that nearly half the population is suffering from some degree of magnesium deficiency. This important mineral is required by almost every cell in your body, and is involved in over 300 separate metabolic processes.
While the recommended daily intake is around 500-1,000mg, the stress of modern life often causes us to use up more magnesium than we can readily get through our food, leading to deficiencies. Common symptoms of magnesium deficiency include irritability, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, insomnia, facial twitches, leg cramps, migraines, unstable blood sugar levels, osteoporosis, and heart disease.
Some experts also claim that regular consumption of magnesium can help ward off Alzheimer's, while other research also shows that a deficiency could potentially increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Additionally, magnesium deficiencies have also been linked to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. If the body doesn't have enough magnesium, it increases insulin production. This leads to more glucose entering the cells, causing inflammation.
As you can see, it's pretty important to incorporate plenty of magnesium-rich foods in your diet. Good sources include avocados, nuts, leafy green vegetables, whole grains, seeds, and dark chocolate. You can also supplement magnesium artificially by taking B6 supplements. Just be sure that whatever you get is of the highest quality and contains all four cofactors of magnesium: Malate, Glycinate, Taurinate, and Orotate.
Magnesium Malate (Muscles)
- Alleviates muscle fatigue
- Alleviates PMS cramps and headaches
- Improves digestive function
- Alleviates symptoms of fibromyalgia
- Provides energy
Magnesium Glycinate (Mind)
- Helps treat depression/numbness
- Helps treat hysteria, insomnia, and irritability
- Improves mental focus and relaxes the mind
- Prevents diarrhea
Magnesium Taurinate (Heart)
- Assists with general cardiovascular functions
- Controls arrhythmia and palpitations
- Prevents migraines
Magnesium Orotate (General)
- Aids in formation of DNA
- Promotes general cardiovascular health
- Improves athletic performance

If you have any questions about any of our products please post them here
View the list of previous questions.
VETIQ SERENE-UM – How often can I give my pet VetIQ Serene-Um?
VetIQ Serene-Um can be given long term, with no side effects. It is not addictive and you can stop administering it at any time.
VETIQ GREEN-UM – How does VetIQ Green-Um work?
VetIQ Green-Um is composed of amino acids and plant extracts. They work in combination to help prevent yellow spots appearing on your lawn. Yellow spots are caused by highly alkaline urine being excreted from your pet onto the grass which causes it to turn yellow. The amino acids in VetIQ Green-Um help to lower the pH of your animal's urine making it less alkaline; thereby preventing the appearance of those yellow spots. In addition, the plant extracts in the product help to prevent excessive ammonia in the urine from burning the lawn.
VETIQ STOOL FIRM – Can I give VetIQ Stool Firm to my pregnant dog with diarrhoea?
The use of VetIQ Stool Firm in pregnant dogs is safe as the product contains no ingredient that would affect the pregnancy status of the dog. However, as the product would have a constipatory- effect, it may affect the absorption of various minerals/vitamins or any medication that may be given with the food. If medications are required with the food, then VetIQ Stool Firm should be administered at different times.
VETIQ STOOL REPEL – Why does my dog eat his own faeces?
This condition, where your dog eats his own faeces is called Coprophagia. Although frequently encountered and disgusting to the owner, coprophagia is not harmful unless parasites are transmitted. It is quite natural for a nursing bitch to do this with her pups, and wild carnivores are known to eat the droppings of their herbivore prey to obtain nutrients therein. The main causes of coprophagia are:
Parasitic infestation- dogs with a high internal parasitic load commonly eat their faeces, and will have a ravenous appetite but will still lose weight.
Mal-digestion and Mal-assimilation Syndromes-due to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, colitis, lymphangiectasia, intestinal bacterial overgrowth, – here the dog may eat their faeces due to the high fat content (steattorrhea) contained in it due to maldigestion of fat in the gut. These conditions lead to an energy deficit because nutrients are not broken down properly in the digestive system and thus the dog will eat its faeces. In these conditions the dog will lose weight in spite of a healthy appetite.
Behavioural problems- it can develop as a vice or habit due to boredom and is a manifestation of stereo-typical behaviour or anxiety. It may be aggravated due to confinement or lack of attention.
Mark + Chappell's VETIQ Stool Repel is an effective solution to this condition. This product has been specially formulated to deter such behaviour through a combination of active ingredients which, when ingested by the animal, help to produce a stool which is unpalatable to the animal.
The general treatment involves:
- Remove the faeces from the environment
- Provide more activity for the dog to reduce boredom, reduce the dog's confinement and spend more time with him. If the problem began recently then it would be important to remember if you changed anything in his environment that may have created or intensified some anxiety that he may have being feeling which could be anything from a change of diet or bedding to new surroundings or people
- Rule out parasitic disease due to toxocara canis or D caninum by regular worming, normally every 2-3 months or more often if required. It is also important to regularly treat him for ectoparasitic problems like fleas as these carry the intermediate stages of the tapeworm life cycle
- Dietary management- a highly digestible diet balanced for your pets particular stage of life.
GENERAL – Do Cats & Dogs Get Sunburn?
Summer is a time for both you and your pet to enjoy the sunshine and outdoors, but along with the fun, the season offers up situations that can endanger your pet. Cats and dogs can get sunburn. Cats with white ears are especially prone to develop sunburn on the tips and edges of the ears.
Collies and other dog breeds such as Shetland Sheepdogs, who have no pigment on their nose can develop a condition called Collie Nose or Nasal solar dermatitis. This is actually caused by a hypersensitivity to the sun. Some pets, whose hair is clipped over their bodies or for some reason have sparse hair, can also develop sunburn where their skin is exposed. Pets susceptible to sunburn should be kept out of direct summer sun, especially in the middle of the day when the sun is particularly strong.
Sunscreens (SPF should be 15 or greater) including those developed specifically for pets should be used to prevent sunburn. For pets with skin exposed on their bodies, a t-shirt (children's or adult) can be fitted over the body. As with humans, animals with skin that has sunburned are more likely to develop skin cancer, so protection from sunburn is extremely?important.
The following precautions will help keep your pet sunburn-free this summer:
- Keep your pet out of the sun as much as possible between 10am and 4pm
- Apply waterproof sunscreen on unprotected areas
- If your pet must be outdoors during this time, provide plenty of shade
- Avoid walking or running your pet on hot pavements or blacktop surfaces.

Chapel Corners - Holy Spirit
07 March 2017
We were delighted to welcome Holy Spirit Catholic Primary to school this morning.
Our four feeder primaries have been tasked with producing a display representative of their school to be placed in each of the four corners of our new chapel.
This morning Mrs Ravey and Miss Walsh were accompanied by Harvey and Jess, Head Boy and Head Girl and presented their beautiful artwork display to Sam and Paige, former Head Boy and Head Girl at Holy Spirit and now Year 7 students here at St Cuthbert's.

On Boynton Beach's waterfront, two half-finished condo towers loom over the Ocean Avenue downtown.
The Marina Village development is twin, 15-story concrete shells, with metal rods, steel columns and piles of cinder blocks poking out from open spaces.
Exposed to hurricane winds? You bet.
Developments like Marina Village were a key concern to local government officials Friday, a day when hurricane preparations stalled along with Hurricane Wilma near the Yucatan Peninsula.
As construction crews packed up for the weekend, mayors fretted that construction materials and scattered equipment could become dangerous missiles in high winds.
Palm Beach County cities with heavy condo development dispatched building inspectors to check on construction sites.
"We've gone citywide and made sure things are tied down," said Boynton Beach Mayor Jerry Taylor, where large-scale condo projects dot the Federal Highway corridor. "We're being proactive rather than reactive on this."
Meanwhile, Palm Beach County isn't likely to activate its emergency operations until Monday, Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento said.
A hurricane warning, meaning hurricane conditions are likely within 24 hours, would trigger the heightened alert.
Wilma's forecast path, though uncertain, still aimed at Palm Beach County, potentially passing through late Monday as a low-grade hurricane.
In one change to the county's hurricane prep, an evacuation order is no longer likely for coastal areas anticipated, Bonvento said. The evacuation order now would apply to those living in mobile homes and substandard housing.
The county also plans to advise people living on Singer Island to evacuate, Bonvento said. That area suffered serious beach erosion during last year's hurricanes.
The Red Cross was preparing to open shelters as early as Sunday, Director Dean Dimke said.
"We're 100 percent poised and ready," he said. "Now I guess it's up to Mother Nature to decide if we're going to open them, and when."

This one isn't at all surprising, since Creative Technology basically came out and said they planned to sue Apple last year. However, it apparently took them about five months of negotiations to realize that Apple was not going to license their patent, and that they really did need to sue. At issue here is the widely publicized patents Creative received for a hierarchical categorization of music, as used in a music player interface. It's not even worth getting into the question of why such a patent was granted in the first place (again, the lack of a true test for obviousness is an issue), but the bigger issue is why Creative is choosing to take this battle to the courtroom, rather than the market. Obviously, Apple's iPod has done much better in the market than comparable portable music players from Creative -- and there are a variety of reasons for that. The idea that it was because they somehow "stole" this one minor idea from Creative is pretty ridiculous on its face -- but will be a big part of the case. This is clearly yet another patent lawsuit that is not about encouraging innovation, but about causing trouble in the courtroom for a competitor who figured out the market much more successfully. Creative is, not surprisingly, asking for an injunction stopping Apple from selling certain iPods -- a move that may be a little more difficult after today's Supreme Court ruling. Either way, this means both companies now need to spend millions of dollars on patent attorneys, rather than actually innovating newer and better products.

Brad, 15 May 2006 @ 10:16pmIn all fairness, it's about time Apple was on the receiving end of one of these lawsuits. They've ripped off pleanty of ideas (GUI, Mouse, etc) and then turned around and sued other people for doing the same. They've used open source code to build a commercial product, and then sued a bunch of freelance programmers who tried to make their software work on someone else's hardware. So really, I ask, what's so great about Apple? They're pushers of some of the most heavy-handed DRM available, and their CEO is a tyranical mizer. I'm glad they'll spend a bunch of money and get bad PR on their "revolutionary" (spelled incremental) little device.
john, 19 May 2006 @ 8:29am
Re: Brad's commentGet your facts straight before posting a flaming article. Although accused otherwise, Apple is soley responsible for the invention of the graphical user interface and the mouse. Do your research on some proffesional sites and tell me what you find.
As for the use of opensource innovation to create commercial software, this is not only not unheard of, but indeed common. Heard of Google's operating system that is to be released in the not to distant future? It is a combination of original Google innovation and a Linux distro.
Whats so great about apple? Although being a little pricey at times, they develop vastly superior hardware that is seemlessly integrated with brilliant, revolutionary and innvoative software. They are the only company like it.
So think different, Brad. And get your damn facts straigh, you jargon lobbing skript kiddie.
Keith, 15 May 2006 @ 10:44pm
HmmmI read thru alot of the patent and it seems to me that assigning ideas such as these to a patent really need to be examined in the the world of IP.
All it really documents is a hierarchial structure of data collection and how to access it albeit in reference to music. I wrote applications in the 80s for uni that did the same thing and it seems to me that using patents like this is like saying that I woke up one day and decided that a) I inhale and b) I exhale in order to breathe so I shall patent this process. Simplistic, yes, but there are alot of concepts in the programming world that are just as simple if not just plain obvious or logical.
In this case, just how else would you store and access music? Logically as documented by the patent, of course. Unless, I am just missing something obviously unique about the patent. I always thought a patent stated a unique idea, not something logical to most people.
I am no Apple fan but when the lawyers have something to gain and everyone else to lose in the long run, then it just isn't right.
Wishful thinker, 16 May 2006 @ 2:26am
WeridWasn't it Microsoft who ripped off the GUI and Mouse ideas from OG designers within IBM????? Books, movies and even biographies described this initial theft from IBM employee's who were not listened to by dinosauric bosses whom are no longer with IBM? Granted Job's is an extremely hands on JO??? ( I have friends at Apple that know he's very much so a quizative SOB when he meets new employee's)
And yes, Apple did go after freelancers for awhile whom were trying to bridge the gap between platforms, so what? Any corporation would have done something simular at that time from the late 80's thru most of the 90's regarding software and did. If we use Microsoft as an example they just went out and bought the competion and dismantled them, does this ring a bell???
scott, 16 May 2006 @ 5:26amthe patent sounds like windows explorer.
Brad, 16 May 2006 @ 5:27am
No, it wasn't MicrosoftThe GUI, and Mouse, were both invented at Xerox Parc back in the early '80s as part of a product demonstration. When seen at a trade show, an Apple employee asked if such things were patented. Xerox said they were not, as they couldn't see why anyone would want to patent such a clumsy device as a mouse. When Apple released OS2 (their first GUI) the mouse was part of the package. At the time, MS was still using DOS's command-line interface.
Windows 3 came out about a year and a half after that, and Apple cried FOUL! from their soap-box-of-hypocracy. When they tried to sue, Microsoft pointed to a three year old Xerox demo and said "It's their idea, and they're the only ones who can sue. And since it's now in the public space, they can't sue either."
At one point, prior art actually applied to patents. Those days are gone now.
And what's so bad about Microsoft going out and buying companies for their technology? A buy-out is one of the best new-venture exit strategies one can hope for. What's wrong with a buy-out? Serriously? I'd love it if MS showed up at my door and said "Your company is worth $16M. We'll buy you and every bit of IP you have and you can just stop working." No one forces you to sign over your company for a check. Google is buying up a bunch of other companies (Blogger?) for their IP and customer base. That's how companies grow. You can either engage in an expensive and mutually destructive compeition, or the big guy can buy the little one out, whcih is when everyone wins.
What's lousy is when a large and capital-heavy company looks at your product and has a team of salaried lawyers with nothing better to do than tie you up in legal battles assures them that they can get away with stealing your idea and not paying for it. This is actually a case where innovation MIGHT be getting squashed for the sake of a larger, more successful company profiting.
Now, lets be clear: I think this patent is inane and meaningless, but I think Creative actually has a legal case against Apple here, and they'll probably draw it out a while, since they've also got a team of salaried lawyers just twiddling their thumbs waiting for a chance to earn a bonus.
This'll be like RIM and NTP all over again, except this time the patent is likely not to be found invalid.
Topher3105, 16 May 2006 @ 6:14am
Missing the pointIts not the patent, but the actual look and feel of the interface I think Creative has taken issue with. When you look at the early Creative Jukebox interface, and the iPod interface that came out 10 months after Creative's product, they are very similar in nature. The simplistic front/back menu interface listing songs by album, artist, genre, etc in a single column of items.
While I agree that the idea of patenting the idea of hierarchical data is kind of hard to fight for, the fact that Apple looked to have blatantly ripped off Creative's interface is what the case will center on. There could have been any number of ways Apple could have created the iPod interface, and in fact, the iPod interface is really not apple like at all (compared to their OS products). I think if Apple spent a little more time making the interface look less like Creatives, then just keeping it similar, there wouldn't be an issue.
Gregory, 16 May 2006 @ 8:36am
standardized interfaceI think it is ridicilous that Creative has issues with IPod's interface. I mean, at some point, all mp3 players will use a similiar interface, something that people like and that they don't have to learn all over again when they switch mp3 players. The interface of most cell phones works pretty much the same either, no matter if it is a Nokia, Samsung or Motorola.
Or just take car makers! Mercedes isn't suing Ford, just because Ford cars have a similiar "interface" like their own cars (steering weel, middle console with radio, glove compartment).

Now Really... Lawsuits are NOT innovationThis is clearly yet another patent lawsuit that is not about encouraging innovation, but about causing trouble in the courtroom for a competitor who figured out the market much more successfully.
Are you saying patent lawsuits encourage innovation? Let me state for the record that Patent Lawsuits DO NOT encourage innovation. Getting paid for your innovation encourages innovation.
Violating patents, trademarks and copyrights is the EXACT OPPOSITE of innovation.
Would YOU let someone copy every article posted here, everyday, and put it in a new website, under their own name, and further let them pass it off as theirs? No... you would begin to piss and moan that someone was stealing your work and violating your copyrights. And you'd tell everyone how bad they were and that they were a thief. And you know what? You'd have every right to do that! That is the point of all this. Your rights are yours!
Innovation is not about stealing others work. It is about innovating.
And stealing is NOT innovation. Market success through stealing is not a sign of intelligence or innovation. It is, often times, a sign of lack of intelligence.
If Apple got the patents first they would be suing Creative.
Re: Now Really... Lawsuits are NOT innovationThinkSolveDo,
Would YOU let someone copy every article posted here, everyday, and put it in a new website, under their own name, and further let them pass it off as theirs?
What's funny is that you asked us this exact question a few weeks ago, and we told you your assumption was wrong. Funny that you ignore that.
We have no problem with others taking the work here and posting it on their own site. Sites like Bloglines already does exactly that.
We do take exception to them posting it without giving us credit, but that's a trademark issue -- not a copyright. The issue there is one of confusion. However, in cases where that has happened we never call our lawyers for two reasons.
1. We will send a nice note, and in most cases, the person will admit it was a mistake and fix it.
2. Any site that posts our content without crediting us is unlikely to be around very long or be taken seriously.
So, you're wrong. Trademarks are to prevent confusion, and we have no problem with them there. However, on the copyright front, we ENCOURAGE others to take our content and post it to their site, so long as it's properly credited. That helps BUILD our reputation and gets us more attention. Why would we be upset that people are helping to promote us?
MacPinchi, 19 May 2006 @ 11:37am> When you look at the early Creative Jukebox interface, and the iPod interface that came out 10 months after Creative's product, they are very similar in nature.
Do you really think that Apple could have stolen Creative's idea, built an entirely new product based upon that idea, ramped up production, created a marketing strategy and gotten it to market in a span of only 10 months? I didn't think so.
The more likely case is that both companies arrived upon a similar solution in parallel. The solution being the obvious one, I don't think Creative's patent will hold up.

The Center brings together experts across multiple disciplines to develop, refine and deliver treatments to eradicate liver cancers while preserving liver function and patients' overall health. Our principal objective is to effectively treat primary and secondary liver cancers using minimally invasive cutting-edge techniques, to accelerate patients' recovery and to enhance their longevity and well-being. Traditional therapies often required protracted in-hospital recovery; we strive to reduce the hospital stay to a minimum, and often deliver therapies as outpatient procedures. SurgeryCutting-edge robotic liver resection Interventional RadiologyState-of-the-art catheter-based treatment Medical OncologyLeading the way with clinical trials Radiation OncologyNext-generation proton beam radiation CAMILOT represents the 'therapeutic' arm of our long-standing Liver Tumor Clinic at the University of Washington. The Clinic was established in 1998 and currently serves nearly 600 new visits annually, making it one of the busiest multidisciplinary clinics devoted to the treatment of liver tumors in the country. As the only university-based academic center in the Puget Sound area, the Liver Tumor Clinic has been pivotal in the introduction of novel treatments such as thermal and non-thermal ablations, minimally invasive liver surgery, catheter-based radiation therapy and external beam proton therapy, in addition to many clinical trials. Over the years, we have modified and advanced many of the procedures so that they can be safely delivered with the least amount of stress to the patient's body, therefore minimizing suffering, reducing time spent in the hospital, enhancing recovery at home and returning patients to quality and meaningful living. In the past year, approximately 80% of more than 400 treatments delivered for liver cancers were performed using minimally invasive procedures at the University of Washington Medical Center. CAMILOT was created to meet the increasing demand for effective minimally invasive cancer care.Since its inception, the Liver Tumor Clinic has served thousands of patients, the highest in the Pacific Northwest region. We have delivered the following treatments in the last year: Volume of Partial Liver Resections (50.22) in Washington State Source: CHARS data Our MissionCAMILOT leverages the expertise and experience of clinicians and scientists to launch a vibrant and cohesive environment for innovation, investigation and delivery of the optimal clinical solutions for patients with liver cancers.

We offer the latest in minimally invasive approaches including robotic and laparoscopic surgeries, ablations, catheter-based treatments, radiation and systemic therapies. In addition, the Center actively engages in research (clinical and basic) to advance our knowledge and to investigate new approaches to control, eliminate and prevent cancers. Liver CancersThere are two main categories of liver cancers: Primary and Secondary. Primary liver cancers are malignant tumors that start in the liver. Hepatocytes and cholangiocytes are the two most common types of cells found in the liver. Hepatocytes represent approximately 75% of the liver mass, and these cells perform critical functions of the liver including the synthesis of many proteins, bile salts and cholesterol, among others. They are also responsible for detoxifying and excreting many products, including drugs. Once the primary bile is made by hepatocytes, it is transported through an extensive network of bile ducts similar to the branches and trunk of a tree. Cholangiocytes are the cells that line the entire biliary system and are critical to bile secretion by modifying its pH and electrolyte content to help with digestion once it enters into the intestine.Not surprisingly, when the liver is injured repeatedly, cells can transform to become cancers by acquiring deleterious changes to their DNA. The most common causes of chronic liver damage are hepatitis C, hepatitis B, alcohol and metabolic diseases. These conditions predispose the liver to form cancers that resemble hepatocytes, so-called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or cholangiocytes, known as cholangiocarcinoma (CC). In addition, any cause of persistent inflammation of the bile ducts also leads to CC. Together, HCC and CC represent more than 90% of all primary liver cancers. Importantly, they are increasingly common in United States and represent one of the most frequent causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Anyone with a history of long-standing liver disease should talk to their physicians for further guidance. Unlike most cancers, HCC is often diagnosed without the need for tissue biopsy, but rather by relying on good quality imaging using contrast CT and MRI scans. Upon diagnosis, a patient is best served by a multidisciplinary assessment by a team of experts including hepatologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, medical and radiation oncologists to come up with a treatment strategy that is most appropriate for the individual. Secondary liver cancers are malignant tumors that begin somewhere outside of the liver but have spread to the liver – also known as liver metastases. The rich environment of the liver supports the growth of many different cancers, and as a result, it is a very common place for cancers to propagate. These cancers are classified based on their sites of origin, and their behavior often resembles that of the primary cancer. Unlike hepatocellular carcinoma, a biopsy is often necessary to make an accurate diagnosis. Metastasis implies that the cancer cells have moved beyond the primary location into other parts of the body. Therefore systemic therapy--such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy--is the cornerstone of treatment for secondary liver cancers. However, in many cases where the metastatic disease is predominantly confined to the liver, additional liver-directed therapies can improve disease control and survival in selected cases. The most common form of secondary liver cancers is colorectal carcinoma. At least half of the patients with colorectal cancer will develop liver metastases either at the time of diagnosis (i.e. synchronous) or during their follow-up (i.e. metachronous). When treated optimally with systemic and liver-directed therapies, over half of the patients with metastatic disease to the liver will enjoy long-term survival (e.g. ≥5 years). Good preparatory planning and execution by a multidisciplinary team is the foundation necessary to achieve the best outcome. For example, in selected patients with synchronous metastatic rectal cancer involving the liver, careful planning with up-front chemotherapy and pelvic radiation can be followed by a one-stage combination minimally invasive surgery to take care of the rectal and liver disease.Meet our TeamSurgery Raymond S.W.

Professional ~ a person who is expert at his or her work[i]
That's me! Oh, don't misunderstand me; I'm not speaking of my areas of knowledge, skills, or degrees. I'm talking about what a great crastinator I am. I am a professional crastinator, or better known as a PRO-crastinator! I'm a professional at putting things off for later! In fact, I've become so adept at it that many times I can finish what needs to be done just as the moment arrives when it MUST be done! Yup, I'm a professional crastinator ~ a pro-crastinator!
Unfortunately, this means I'm usually rushing to accomplish things on time. If I'd started earlier, I would have most likely done a better job instead of sliding in at the last minute barely able to say, "Done!"
This is why when I read Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost for His Highest" on January 6, I was pulled up short by his use of two words to describe Jesus: "unhasting and unresting." He was not in a hurry, yet remained steadily being about His Father's work.
One of my nieces is a prolific writer and frequently uses the words STEADY ON! I think that describes Jesus. I long to be more and more like Him, to be more and more conformed into His image. Because this is my heart's desire, I am asking Him to help me break the habit of procrastinating and to move through each day both "unhasting and unresting" ~ steady on ~ until it's time to put my head on my pillow each night and let my body rest.
Father, I desire to be like Jesus ~ unhasting and unresting ~ steady on as I go about doing the tasks You have given me to do each day. I don't want to abuse the time I have been allotted on this earth; instead, I yearn to wisely use the time You have given me in the number of days I have remaining. You are the One who is at work in me "both to will and to do" of Your good pleasure (Philippians 2:13 KJV). You and I both know full well how weak I am. I need not only Your strength to accomplish Your will, I also need You to provide the "will" or the desire to do so. Please fill me with Your strength that I might bring You honor. Thank You! \o/ ~ Amen.

Grapefruit & Pork has cacophony of flavors
My first major grapefruit encounter was when I was still in grade school. Mom used a curved knife to cut around the circumference of my grapefruit half, then loosened the segments so I could easily spoon them up.
One day a classmate invited me home after school. The only thing I now recall about the visit was trying to eat half a grapefruit with a type of spoon I'd never before used. The spoon's tip came to a point, and there were also ridges along the edge.
I surreptitiously watched my friend to see how I was supposed to eat that darn grapefruit, which I finally conquered with the weird spoon. But instead of digging in to savor every last bit of the juicy flesh, we squeezed the rind and finished with spoonfuls of juice.
It was a relief (almost an epiphany) when I finally learned how to get beautiful rind- and membrane-free segments, or "supremes," from larger citrus like oranges and grapefruit.
To "supreme" a grapefruit, cut off the ends with a knife to reach the flesh, then place a now-flat end on the cutting board. Follow the grapefruit's contour and trim off vertical sections of the peel, pith and membrane to reveal the flesh. Cut alongside the membranes to free the segments, squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes, then enjoy your picture-perfect supremes in salads, desserts and this Pork & Grapefruit recipe.
I don't know why grapefruit isn't used more in savory dishes. The sweet-tart character of good grapefruit complements pork, chicken and seafood, and integrates well with herbs and spices.
Pork & Grapefruit combines browned bits of fond from the seared pork with Marsala, Asian chile sauce and fish sauce, and aromatics like ginger. Grapefruit corrals this seeming cacophony of flavors.
Aromatic white wines support the citrus notes in the dish, which gain depth from Marsala and the fish sauce. Chile sauce provides a tiny kick of heat as well as some sweetness that is balanced with grapefruit juice, so choose a fruitier white wine with some body.
Spinach - which can be a wine-pairing challenge on its own - is moderated by the grapefruit in this dish, which will work with moderately light to medium-bodied aromatic whites.
Pork & Pink Grapefruit
Serves 4
Pork is a natural with fruit, especially stone fruit. Until summer rolls around, incorporate citrus, which also provides some acidity. Tenderloin is easy to cook, but bone-in loin chops are also good. (After searing, remove the bones and add to the sauce, with the onion, for extra flavor.) Spinach cooks quickly; you can also use Swiss chard or escarole, which will take a bit longer to cook. Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes.
- 1 large pink or ruby red grapefruit
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds pork tenderloin (1 or 2 tenderloins)
- -- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 medium yellow onion finely diced (about 1 1/2 to 2 cups)
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon peeled grated ginger
- 1/2 cup Marsala
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 teaspoons sweet Asian chile sauce, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce (optional)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 3 teaspoons cool water
- 8 ounces spinach
- -- Lemon juice, as needed
Instructions: Use a sharp knife to peel and segment the grapefruit; collect all the juice including that squeezed from the membranes. Cut grapefruit into bite-size pieces (reserving 4 whole ones to garnish if desired). Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°. Pour oil into a medium-size non-reactive skillet, and heat to medium-high. Remove silver skin from pork. If the tail end is much thinner than the rest of the tenderloin, turn it under and tie with butcher's string. Season to taste with salt, pepper and smoked paprika, if using.
When the oil in the skillet shimmers, carefully add the tenderloins. Sear on all sides but wait to turn meat until it easily moves without sticking when you shake the pan (about 2 minutes per side).
Move tenderloins to another skillet or sheet pan and place in the oven. Roast until desired doneness; for medium about 140°-142° internal temperature when taken with a meat thermometer. Place pork on cutting board to rest, tenting loosely with foil.
Meanwhile, place the first skillet that contains the dark bits of browned fond onto a burner over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring frequently; the fond should begin to incorporate. When onions are soft, translucent and slightly browned, add the garlic and ginger; cook until aromatic, about 1 minute.
Add the Marsala; bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until the pan is almost dry. Add the chicken broth; lower heat to simmer and cook until liquid reduces by about half.
Stir in chile sauce and fish sauce, if using. Add 1/4 cup of reserved grapefruit juice (or to taste) and salt to taste.
Slowly add two-thirds of the cornstarch mixture to the pan while stirring; reserve remaining cornstarch mixture. Cook briefly until sauce thickens slightly.
Add spinach - a few handfuls at a time - until wilted, along with the pork (if it needs rewarming). If desired, stir in reserved cornstarch mixture for additional thickening. Fold in grapefruit pieces. Taste; add salt, pepper and lemon juice as needed.
Cut pork across the grain into 3/8- to 1/2-inch slices. Portion spinach and grapefruit onto plates, garnish with whole segment if desired, top with sliced pork and spoon the sauce over.

WISTV recently reported that Harvest Hope Food Banks is facing severe shortages.
Harvest Hope Food Bank is the largest food bank in the state and serves the hungry right here in the Midlands and surrounding counties.
According to the Food Research and Action Center, South Carolina has one of the highest rates of food hardship in the nation. South Carolina ranks 5th in the nation for childhood poverty, with 25% of children living in poverty across the state.
We want to help Harvest Hope Food Bank help our neighbors! Each year Shandon Baptist Church and Northside Baptist Church, together with other community partners and area grocery stores, join forces to raise food and other donations measuring in the tons.
"Every year our clients can be certain that they will have enough food to eat because of this amazing event!" said, Denise Holland, CEO, Harvest Hope Food Bank. "We are, so very, fortunate to have the continued support of WLTX TV, HIS Radio, church volunteers and all of the participating supermarkets in this year's Food from the Heart event. The donated food we receive every year is always a tremendous resource towards feeding those who quietly suffer from hunger in our communities."
We intend to make this year's event on Saturday, April 1 the largest one day food drive for Harvest Hope Food Bank in the history of the organization! Shandon Baptist Church will have volunteers stationed at Richland County grocery stores while Northside's volunteers will cover Lexington County stores. Our combined goals are 800 volunteers working to collect and then sort 135,000 pounds of food.
Donations are collected outside the stores and taken to Harvest Hope Food Bank where church volunteers sort the items. They will be distributed to local food pantries and soup kitchens. One hundred percent of all goods collected will benefit men, women and children in the Midlands.
Thank you to our media sponsors WLTX TV, HIS RADIO 92.1 and 94.3 FM The Dude as well as the 48 Richland and Lexington county grocery stores for partnering with us in this fight against hunger in the Midlands!
- Volunteer to serve at a store for a shift between 9am-6pm on Saturday, April 1. Text 'food' to (803) 489-8403 to sign up.
- Shop at participating stores on Saturday, April 1 between 9am and 6pm.
- Tell friends and neighbors about this Saturday's Food Drive and encourage them to shop and donate.
Contact David Taylor, Missions & Evangelism Pastor, at or call the church office at (803) 782-1300.

And not just because the new season
could use some drama and since
he can't seem to get her pregnant,
sudden-onset crack addiction
will just have to do.
But this time it appears to be for reals because Lamar has suddenly become a crack addict.
Actually, the story is that he's been a closet crackhead for two years now but Khloe was keeping it a secret and none of the three dozen paps that follow every Kardashian's every move ever suspected a thing. It wasn't until Lamar started blatantly cheating on Khloe by "acting very available" and holing up in hotels with sluts that this whole crack addict story
And now suddenly, it's really REALLY over.
Except, hang on, Khloe is still wearing that ring as big as a seven-gram rock and Lamar is skulking around again after going
Editor's Note: But ... if Lamar were really a crackhead, wouldn't he have stolen and pawned that ring by now? And wouldn't one of his dealers have come forward trying to sell their story by now? And ...
My Note: See your mistake is, you're trying to make sense of the Kardashians. That's like trying to hold back the twerking power of Miley Cyrus's goat arse. It can't be done.

The Department of Education provides a range of courses, programs, services and support for school-aged English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) students to engage successfully in public schooling and in the acquisition of Standard Australian English (SAE).
Intensive English Centres (IECs) provide a specialist 12 month English language program to eligible Stage 1 students who are in the early stages of English language acquisition - primarily those who are newly arrived in Western Australia. IECs have continuous enrolments and exit students into mainstream schooling at the end of each term (primary) or the end of each semester (secondary).
This may be extended by an additional 12 months for students holding refugee and humanitarian visa subclasses.
Best practice for a quality IEC program shows that the teacher student ratio for an IEC class should be close to 1.0 FTE to 16 students. Where an entire IEC class consists of limited schooling background students, consideration should be given to the students' complex learning needs and reflected accordingly in the student teacher ratio. Humanitarian entrants may have fled from conflict, persecution or violence and may be suffering from physical and emotional trauma along with other health issues. The IECs are therefore best placed to provide the specialist support these students require.
List of Intensive English Centres
Students are taught Standard Australian English (SAE) across all learning areas in the Western Australian Curriculum.
The Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline sets out the knowledge, understandings, skills, values and attitudes that all students from Kindergarten to Year 10 are expected to acquire.
The English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) Progress Map is used to assess EAL/D students' skills and understandings of SAE.
The EAL/D Progress Map is an integrated teaching, monitoring and assessment support resource that can be used with EAL/D students from K-12. The map applies to the learning of English as an additional language or dialect in all learning areas and across all curriculum contexts and allows for the differentiation of the curriculum to support student academic achievement.
The Western Australian Certificate of Education English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) course is offered for Year 11 and 12 students in a number of schools. The EAL/D Foundation, General and ATAR course is designed as an alternative to "English" for students who speak a language or dialect other than English as their first or 'home' language. Each course comprises of 4 units with students completing a unit each semester.
Year 11 and 12 EAL/D WACE course
List of Secondary Schools offering WACE in English as an Additional Language course
This allocation is provided to help schools address the learning needs of eligible students who are learning Standard Australian English as an additional language through:
• Intensive English Centres (IECs)
• Mainstream primary and secondary English as an additional language (EAL) support programs
For further information refer to the Student-centred funding EAL language allocation
Kindergarten and Pre-primary students do not attract EAL funding. Mainstream Kindergarten and Pre-primary classrooms provide rich opportunities for children to learn English language skills, knowledge and understandings. In these settings, children use and practise the skills of language and literacy that have been systematically taught.
The three Pre-primary intensive English programs at existing IECs located at Koondoola, Nollamara and Eddystone primary schools are an exception. These centres provide support to meet the specific needs of humanitarian entrants facing challenges associated with trauma.
For enrolment information refer to:

26 Nov Learning to Show Grace and Mercy
Grace and Mercy
By Jon Johansen
As I work on this column, I am sporting a black, left eye. In addition, my lower jaw is sore, and my lip is stitched.
No, I'm not in a "school counseling fight club." The real source of these injuries? I'll be happy to share… albeit a bit later in this column. For starters I'll just state that it's funny how life has a way of regularly humbling me.
For example, after helping come up with my school's theme for November—"Jesus showed grace and mercy"—I received not one, but two chances to display forgiveness to others. Only,
Rather than "putting my money where my mouth is," I had to act kindly when others put their elbows where my face is. How so? On a recent Friday morning, at a local basketball pick-up game, one of my own teammates, for Pete's sakes, ripped down a rebound and nailed my left eye socket.
Although I flinched, and checked for blood, I was blessed to experience an emotional victory when I… stayed absolutely calm! In fact, by God's grace I didn't even complain about it. When you know my past, and my heritage, that's saying something.
It should be noted that my mom is a stereotypically feisty-yet-loving Irishwoman and my dad's ancestors are crazy Vikings! I thank God, then, that I didn't pick-up a metaphorical Norsk battle-axe and try to get even on the hardwood court. Unfortunately, my black eye wasn't the last injury I'd endure.
Just yesterday, when I inexplicably tried to take a charge in a meaningless basketball game, a 6'3', 255 pound man led his way down the lane with his meaty arm-hinge. I'm blessed to report that, when I first felt the warm blood flowing down my chin, I didn't feel rage; rather, I mysteriously felt tranquil!
To his credit, the fella who injured me said "sorry." I accepted his apology and told him that it was "no big deal." Just like *that,* we moved on. In fact, we played two more games.
A couple of hours later, when the good folks at Urgent Care (thank you Jessica and Alyssa!), pointed out that I'd bitten all the way through the skin under my lip—and commenced to deftly stitch me shut—I also felt "it" again, that elusive sense of Peace.
As I think about my "take-aways" from this experience, three things come to mind:
1) Perhaps I should no longer try so hard to win random pick-up games,
2) By Heaven's grace, I am no longer the "eye for an eye" Irish/Norseman I used to be, and…
3) It felt good (deeply, truly satisfying) to show others mercy. I liked it.
Wanna do it more.
How 'bout you?
Who are you feeling led to forgive?
Why not prayerfully begin the healing process today (if nothing else than for our children's sake)?
As a wise pastor once told me, staying bitter at someone is like drinking poison, and expecting the offender to die. I, for one, wish to be around for a lonnng time.
That, and, I don't want to look like I've been in a bar fight.

Congratulations on your engagement! And welcome to the planning process. If you googled small, intimate wedding or elopement photographer in South Carolina or Vermont, we hope that our name came up. Better yet, we hope that we were recommended by someone you know and trust and who respect and love our work. Because the truth is, there are so many photographers out there, especially in our digital era. Even Grandma thinks she can take a killer picture. And she probably can! So what makes us different? What do we have to offer you? Are we right for you and what you are looking for? Here is what we offer.
Are we a match?
Over the years, we've worked very hard on crafting a questionnaire, designed to help us to come up with creative ideas tailored to you and your lifestyle. We will go over this questionnaire in our consultation meeting. We've been photographing weddings together for over 8 years and we have a pretty solid idea of what works and what doesn't. So although we are not wedding planners, we are more than happy to help you by offering suggestions, mentioning things you may have never even thought of, and offering the best vendor recommendations for bakers, musician, caterers and florists because we have worked with a few! We really want for your wedding to get off on the best foot possible.
The Wedding Day
We will be there all day , or if you're eloping, however long you need us to be! You've chosen us to document this incredible time in your life so we make it all about you. Besides, we get nervous if we feel too rushed. We want to be there from beginning to end to capture it all!
Our Guarantee – The unveiling
We know how excited you will be to see your images so we make a big deal out of it! We get out the bubbly and we host a private viewing for you (and one or two guest) of your wedding! If you can't make it to our office, we will come to you. We promise you, that after 7 days, yup that's right 7 days after your wedding, or whenever you get back from your honeymoon, your images will be ready for viewing so hurry on back to see us because we are just as excited to unveil your images to you!
The Goods
Yes, everyone wants digital files…but honestly what do you do with them? We find that often times those digital files never get printed…or worse, printed poorly!
That is why, we offer our brides more than files. We offer you prints…
and not just any prints. We take into consideration where your lovely wedding images will look best in your home, or apartment or bungalow. We make custom prints of all sizes to place on your mantle, or by your bedside table. We print your images on a variety of materials including aluminum and wood. And we have them custom framed to fit your style.
And for our clients who want really unique fine art made from their wedding images, we work with you to select 2 or 3 worthy candidates and we hand make custom historical prints…. not photoshopped, but a print so tactile, it will be the talk over dinner parties once your guests sees them.
And yes, we do albums too…so many unique handcrafted albums. The metallic cover has been most of our bride's favorite but we offer many options that we would love to show to you!
The Cost
Every wedding is different and every couple has different needs. So we created a few packages along with payment options to make your investment easier. Wedding coverage begins at $2700. To secure the date, we require a non-refundable deposit of $500 that will count towards your final balance.
Elopement coverage begins at $550/hr. After your elopement, we will invite you in to view your images in our studio and select the ones you would like to have custom printed in magnificent bold prints for your home. Prints, heirloom albums and digital files are an additional charge. Most couples end up investing $800-$3000 on unique prints and albums for their home.
So if you're still curious, please feel free to contact us!
