Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
Fox Greg Gutfeld talked with Bill Schulz who said that an ABC reporter was faking an emotional response after Barack Obama was elected President. ABC's Steve Osunsami choked up as he told a story about his father saying a black man could never be elected President.
Fox contributor Bill Schulz snarked, "I cry on this show every night. Why don't we get better ratings?"

text: I really want to dominate a few keywords in the SERPS. (i think it's called) All in 1 niche. Example: how to make money super fast online, making money online the easy way, the best ways to make money online , ect. (except they will be less competetive) That's all I have chosen. I have yet to chose what to use for the SERPS and how to earn money, lol. So I have some questions and any help, suggestions or ideas are welcome. I'm thinking maybe just an opt-in page for free info and then affiliate market them to some clickbank product. And of course with that I would also build an email list which might be good. Would Google frown upon an opt-in list? I can build tons of high quality backlinks for low competition keywords so I think Google will boost my page up. Then I could also just do article marketing, submit the keyword optimized articles to an article directory and end the article with a clickbank link. BUT article directories = meh for me. I don't like them. So I would rather use my own website for it. I could also create this really dumb content rich blog (not my favorite) Ideas?

Never underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. You might think that being a little tired isn't a big deal. But over time, sleep deprivation can take its toll. It's common knowledge that getting enough rest makes you feel more energized, but there are plenty of other benefits involved. From your health to your efficiency in the workplace, sleeping soundly can improve almost every aspect of your life.
These are some of the most important reasons it's important to get a good night's sleep.
Emotional Stability
Sleep and mental health are closely linked. From work-related worries to strained relationships, most people have to deal with stress at some point in their lives. However, not everyone has the same level of resilience. If you're deprived of sleep, you may struggle to cope with adversity. Sleep allows your brain to process large amounts of new information, both good and bad. Unless you get a sufficient amount of rest every night, this ability becomes impaired.
Do you ever get upset easily or anxious? Being overtired can make stressful situations seem much worse than they actually are, making you vulnerable to developing anxiety or depression. Of course, sleep isn't the only factor when it comes to mental health. But getting enough rest is one of the best places to start if you want to recover your emotional stability.
Physical Health
Many people fail to recognize sleep deprivation as a serious health issue. If you've gotten used to running on just a few hours' sleep, you might not realize the impact it's having on your health. Numerous studies have found that people who sleep better tend to live longer. Once you've fallen asleep, your muscles begin to repair themselves, while any damaged cells get replaced. Allowing this natural healing process to run its course is vital to feeling reenergized in the morning.
To make the most of the physical benefits of sleep, having a comfortable bed with plenty of soft blankets will help. To feel as though you're sleeping on a cloud, consider investing in a blanket made of a natural, breathable fiber such as wool. Companies like MiniJumbuk specialize in making wool blankets, so you shouldn't have any trouble making your bed more comfy.
Everyone knows what it's like trying to be productive after a bad night's sleep. You can't concentrate, you're irritable and just keeping your eyes open is a struggle. Trying to be efficient in the workplace is especially difficult when you're sleep deprived. If you're struggling to stay on top of your workload, getting more sleep could be the solution. Just an extra hour a night can make a huge difference to your productivity.
Not getting enough sleep also puts you at greater risk of having an accident. From driving your car to crossing the street, even the most mundane tasks can be dangerous when you're sleep deprived. Your reflexes may be impaired, preventing you from reacting quickly to sudden changes in your environment.
Keep these points in mind the next time you're tempted to stay up past your bedtime. Resist the urge to watch Netflix until 1:00am and go to bed. You'll feel better for it.

Kouign Amann
I'd like to think I'm pretty well versed in most French pastries, but Kouign Amann really baffled me when I first heard about them. You probably have the same questions I did: what is it and how the hell do you pronounce it? It's a pastry originating in the Brittany region of France and is kind of a cross between a croissant and palmier. And it's pronounced like queen ah-mann.
The kouign amann and I crossed paths when my brother's friend brought some back from a bakery in Salt Lake City called Les Madeleines. Apparently they are renowned for this pastry. My brother and sister-in-law emailed me straight away after tasting their version, raving about about how delicious they were. The perfect blend of sweet, salt, butter and caramel. Of course I was intrigued and immediately set about doing some research online. I'm always up for a baking challenge, especially when it's uncharted territory. I had a feeling I was going to become obsessed with these like I was with macarons. Fellow baking nerds can relate.
Surprisingly there weren't many recipes out there. But the ones I was able to find all started with a laminated dough. I've made laminated doughs before; it's basically a yeast dough with many layers of butter in between. Think croissant or puff pastry. The difference with the kouign amann is that the dough is rolled in sugar before it's baked. The sugar and the butter melt together in the oven producing a salty sweet caramel that the kouign amann is known for. Sounded simple enough, right? Not really.
It's so-called simplicity cleverly disguised its difficulty. Five pounds of flour, three pounds of European-style butter and several hours of elbow grease later and I think I'm about 80% there. Just need a few more practice runs before I get it right. Will post the recipe when I achieve success.

I saw these on the Food Network too, last night on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate: Salty Goodness," which I think was a rerun. They were talking about the Salt Lake City version.

Hot chicks always hang out in groups. There is always one she-beast in a group of hot chicks. That's the grenade. The grenade's job is to cock block for her hot friends... if the grenade ain't gettin love, the hot chicks ain't either!
by Da Nastee One May 07, 2004
To make a sacrifice for the good of others. Originally a military term for when a junior officer would deliberately fall to cover a grenade - the explosion from which would kill a far greater number of his side if he didn't. In particular, it would be when a junior officer would make this sacrifice for a senior one - to protect the commanding officer for the benefit (supposedly) of the army.
Its meaning has been expanded to cover things like taking the blame for a team-fuckup (eg. at work) or humpin a dawg so (as said above) your mates can get into the pretty ones.

the selfless act of working your way into the pants of a fat ugly female troll so that your buddy can get laid by her more-appealing ladyfriend; hopefully he signals his success before you have to actually consumate the deal, you don't want to be waking up in the morning with the coyote ugly troll laying in your bed
Two hotties came into the bar with their troll in tow; I decided to fall on the grenade so that Ken and Matt could get laid by the hotties. Fortunately Lucinda the Troll wanted to go slow so after I had heard the bedsprings in the other two rooms I told her I had a headache and gave her Rob's cellphone number then told her to call me 3 days hence.

a gent & his mates go to a mixed bar. A group of ladies flirt with them, but unfortunately one of the ladies is VERY ugly (for example, see whalefuck or sealfuck). She is "the grenade". Now, the chicks likely have a deal amongst themselves, if one isn't getting fucked, then they are all abstaining. It is the duty of one of the gents to "fall on the grenade" , that is, to fuck this dog of a coyote ugly chick
One Saturday night I fell on the grenade for my buddies and it turned out to be the hottest fuck I'd ever had. But I didn't want to ever be seen with her again.

the selfless act of skull fucking a fat troll so that your roommate can get his nob shined by her slightly more appealing friend, only to boot the troll to the curb once you have confirmation that the roommate has "sealed the deal".

To take a hit for the team. To make a sacrifice (implication being a SUPREME one) to save your friends. By extension, to accept the inevitable.
The definitions in this thing are so farking lame, I'm going to have to fall on the grenade and post one myself.

A guitar that is not too expensive, but you get your moneys worth. Usually coming in a package deal, the F325 is a great guitar for beginner guitars, and is very durable.
Yamaha makes some amazing instruments, particularly pianos. But when it comes to their student-line acoustic guitars, you can get SO much more bang for your buck with Canadian brands like Seagull, and Alvarez guitars. I've never owned a Yamaha acoustic guitar but I have taught MANY students over the last 12 years who had these as starters, and they always disappoint. Trust me ... shop around.
I love seagulls, great bang for buck... never played an alvarez I liked... the 70s Yamaha acoustics are nice though, really nice
Oh man, there are definitely some horrible super low end Alvarez but their middle line is so cheap. I got an excellent acoustic-electric Alvarez, brand new, for under $200 at a local shop that was trying to move product so, maybe elsewhere it might run as high as $300? but it sounds like a $600-700 guitar. I've played some (not many, but some) Larivee and Taylor acoustics that didn't hold a candle. Great tones, perfect for stage gigs.
Hands down the best acoustic I've ever owned. Found it at an antique mall. It was covered in stickers that ate away the finish, and the body was split a bit. Almost caught on fire, carried case-less through rain, sanded part of it for a scratch pad. Gave out and split past the point of repair in early January 2016, and the support beams disconnected. Saddest loss of a guitar I've ever experienced.
This is the first guitar I've ever owned or played, and it's absolutely amazing!
The Yamaha F325 is great guitar for beginners, this was my first acoustic guitar, as I got more adept at guitar, the more I noticed the problems of this guitar. The action is high, the sound is thin. The tuners are sub-par... But for all this, a beginner will have this guitar and cherish as the quality of this affordable guitar is miles ahead of other guitars in the same price range.
The one I have has passed through a few hands as well as years. A pretty effective plank of wood with strings on it :)

A well-known horoscope trope is Sherlock Holmes. As a Capricorn, he encompasses the determined work ethic and perseverance that this sign is known for. James Bond, Agent 007, is a Scorpio, a zodiac sign known for its effective detective skills. Examples of horoscope tropes are in anime, literature, music, video games and television.
In the anime show "Sailor Moon," both the Eastern and Western zodiac is represented. Each Senshi has a sun sign that corresponds with their planet and personality, while they also have a symbol from the Eastern zodiac that represents their abilities. In the beginning of anime show Yu-Gi-Oh!, the characters Judai and Misawa portray the Eastern horoscope rivalry of Dragon versus Tiger.
Weird Al Yankovic satirizes poorly-crafted horoscopes in his song "Your Horoscope For Today" with lines ranging from, "Sagittarius: All your friends are laughing behind your back...(...kill them...)" to "Capricorn: The stars say that you're an exciting and wonderful person, but you know they're lying... I'd lock my doors and windows and never, never, never, never leave my house again."
In the video game "The Sims 2," players appoint a zodiac sign to avatars. The sign dictates the personality of the characters, as well as how easy or difficult it is for that character to accumulate points with other characters.

It always makes me chuckle a little when I throw out the chicken's scratch, and how they practically dive onto the ground and peck up as much as they can cram in their beaks. Kind of a "Mine, Mine, Mine! Get away! Mine!" It's like chicken crack.
I guess that makes me a scratch dealer… well, the first one's always free.
Look at them looking at me like, where's some more? Where's the rest?! They're always comin' back for dat Heisenberg.

I was woken up early in the morning of December 22nd. A call, a birth. As a new student midwife, each time my phone rang before the sun rose, my heart leapt and I knew it would be a beautiful and wondrous day. This day in particular, I had no idea what I was in for. The entire day was a perfect one, accompanied by a magically heavy snowstorm (one of those really peaceful ones that reminds you of Narnia). My friends were all going to see the new Star Wars movie that night, and I didn't care one bit that I was probably going to miss it. I left Durango as the wet snow started to pile up, taking care at each curve or stop. Driving in snow is one thing, driving in slush, yuk! It throws you from side to side with little to no warning. I was going nice and slow on 160 all the way home, got a call from my husband on the top of Yellow jacket pass telling me the movie was awesome, and he was headed to pick up the kids. I was excited to get home around the same time as them to tuck in my beautiful boys.
I had the same person following me the majority of the drive over, while people passed us slowpokes. I was coming down a hill just outside of Pagosa when I hit some deeper and icier slush and slid a little. I didn't panic and tried to correct it, but instead just fishtailed the other way. Attempting again to regain control, I realized I was sliding a little further each time. All of a sudden, it felt like someone shoved the back of my car and I was spinning in circles down the middle of highway 160. I saw headlights and wondered if it was the people following me, or if it was oncoming traffic. It all happened so fast, but I remember thinking (so calmly, it was kind of weird), "Okay, I'm gonna go off the road. I don't think I'm going too fast, it should be alright. It shouldn't take too long to get back out. I probably have a cell signal…" Then everything in the car hit the ceiling as my car flipped and rolled down the hill I wasn't expecting. I saw my window hit the snow, then face the sky. I saw my windshield splinter out like a spider web. I felt my foot pressed down firmly on the gas and knew I couldn't remove it or I would tumble too (I did have my seatbelt on, but it didn't hold me down very well. I know it made a huge difference though!).
My car landed upright about 10 feet from an icy creek and about 40 feet from the road. I knew I hit my head a whole lot on my window so I took a second to orient myself and make sure that foot was OFF the gas! Before I knew it, someone was at my door trying to get it open. We had to break it open, as it had taken probably the most damage. I stood up right away and regretted it. The truck that was following me saw the whole thing and they were able to call 911 immediately. A plow truck came around the corner about a minute later and turned their lights on. I sat in the front seat of my car while we called some people letting them know what happened. I remember freaking out about my headband. I knew I was wearing one. I think it fell off. Where is it? Where's my freaking headband?! (This poor guy) I found my headband and decided to walk up to their truck to get warm. As soon as I got up there, the ambulance arrived and I hopped in the back to be checked out. My head hurt pretty bad and by now I was feeling the other bumps and bruises, but nothing serious that I knew of. We were discussing whether or not I should get checked out at the hospital or not when my neck decided to do this weird spasm, so off to the hospital we went. They gave me
some pain meds for the drive and I think I was winking and shooting finger guns within a few minutes.
I had a CT shortly after arriving at the hospital and Blake was there soon after that with two sleepy boys in tow. The Doctor came in with the results and told us the neck CT was clear and I could take that funky collar off. Then he pulled up a chair, sat down, and heaved a big old sigh. "So. On the brain scan we found what we like to call an "incidental-noma". It's a mass about the size of a nickel in the left occipital portion of your brain. We compared it to the CT you had two years ago, and it's new. The old scan was completely clear. We'll need to…" He went on to explain what the next steps would be for us, and asked which doctor we would like to see through this ordeal. I don't know how to explain what those first few moments felt like. I started running those words over and over in my head wondering if I heard him right. By this time, it was almost 2:30 in the morning and I had almost been up for 24 hours
I wanted sleep. But sleep meant getting back in a car. Thankfully by that time my mind was so overdone I don't remember anything about leaving the hospital or driving home. I could've been sedated for all I know. I was in and out of it until the sun came up to reveal a beautiful puffy blanket of snow covering our whole valley. I didn't know where my car was and Blake didn't feel comfortable leaving me right away to go find out, so in the truck I got. I tucked in a ball and hoped for the best. My husband is a wizard at driving in the snow so there were no scares. We slowly called our close friends and family to let them know what happened. And that was it. That was the start of this new stage of life. The say there are two ways people deal with traumatic events. Some people's brains block out everything and they are barely able to recall anything about the ordeal, others remember every single detail and their brains like to replay the feeling of rolling and swerving and "Brain tumor" over and over and over. I think I know which one I am. I'm thankful every day for the way things turned out. It's scary and overwhelming but it is exactly where God wants us to be right now. So here goes it…

Post-Reichenbach Fall. The Molly-Sherlock relationship fascinates me. So here goes.
Thirty four days after she helps him die, he comes to her door.
It's half past one in the morning, and she's sitting on her couch, a cup of cold tea clutched in one hand and a tattered copy of And Then There Were None. She hadn't liked suspenseful novels before, not like she did now. But now she finds that she loves the feeling of trying to predict what will happen next, to sniff out clues and be ever-vigilant, ever-aware in her reading. She loves the shiver of excitement that creeps up her spine when things come to a head, her body unconsciously coiling with the rising tension, nervously awaiting the final big reveal.
That's the kind of moment she's in when the doorbell sounds, causing her to throw the book up in the air with fright as she squeaks out in surprise at the unexpected sound.
She gets up, flustered and confused. Who would be at her door in the middle of the night? She had no family around here, no friends. Maybe it was the on-again, off-again boyfriend of the girl upstairs, who had the annoying habit of forgetting exactly where his paramour's flat was located in the building. She'd been woken up several times by the sound of him calling through the door for Allison, murmuring his love for her through the wooden framework.
"Who is it?" she calls out, pressing her ear to the door. She really needed a peephole for the door, especially living alone, or at least that was what her sister always told her when she came down to visit, constantly paranoid about the "dangers of London" and the "terrors of living in the city".
"It's me," answers a voice on the other side, and her heart skips two beats when she recognizes the deep, rumbling tones.
She opens the door without another word, knowing how dangerous it must be for him to be out there. She says the same to him as he steps through the door.
"What are you doing here?" she whispers incredulously as he strides into the room, sweeping past her as she moves to lock the door. She tries to ignore the feeling of her pulse speeding up, the increased pace of her heart reflecting itself in the feeling of it thumping in the side of her neck.
He doesn't look at her, just takes everything in. Books, telly, chairs, blanket, plate, cup, old newspaper, sappy romance film (shit), lab coat, etc. She watches him studying her through her possessions, through the decor on the walls and the items in the room, which must just all scream to him lonely desperate single thirty-something, and she can feel the embarrassment flood to her face, lighting up her cheeks.
He turns to her after a long moment, his eyes fixing onto her. "Why are you embarrassed?" he asks, cocking his head to the side ever so slightly.
She laughs nervously and looks down to the floor. "It-uh, it's just- you can tell so much by people's things and – and, well..." she shrugs, gesturing limply to the room around her.
"Well what?" he answers immediately, still staring at her, still not blinking, still just so... himself.
"Well," she starts, still looking down, unwilling to meet his unflinching gaze. "It's... it's uncomfortable, having someone pick you apart like that, to read you like an open book."
"Don't be uncomfortable," he replies.
She shakes her head as if to rid herself of those thoughts, and looks up to him once more. "Anyways," she says, starting over, "Wha-what do you need help with?"
He takes a single step forward. "I don't need help with anything."
"Y-you don't?"
Another step. "No."
Her unreliable heart skips another beat. "Then... then what?"
He's still at least two feet away from her, but she swears she can feel his every breath on her cheeks, the soft exhale and the slow inhale, tickling her senses. "You're in love with me," he states, his eyes boring down into hers.
She gasps audibly. "W-what?" she stammers, her eyes wild, looking anywhere but at him.
"You've been in love with me for the past nineteen months and eight days," he continues, still staring.
She can't even string words together, her tongue tied and immobile. She's frozen, caught somewhere between mortification and delight, total embarrassment and heart-wrenching hope.
"We both know it. We've both always known it."
Her voice comes back her, barely. "Sh-Sherlock, I-"
Another step, and they are so close now, so very close. "You help me no matter what. You believe me no matter what. That's... remarkable."
"Oh?" she squeaks out, looking straight up into those mesmerizing eyes. Eyes that she'd always wanted to be this close to, eyes that haunted her in that space between wakefulness and sleep. Eyes that she'd always known, somewhere deep and dark inside of her, that would never be hers.
"Thank you for saving my life, Molly Hooper," he murmurs, his voice barely above a growl.
"Oh, well, you know," she babbles, completely flustered and completely unbound. "It was noth-"
Her words are cut off by his lips, as he moves forward in one fluid movement and catches her around the waist, pressing his mouth against hers. She stiffens with utter and complete confusions, confounded by this sudden turn of events. Is this happening? Is this happening? Is this really happening? is all she can think, unable to truly process the feel of his soft skin against hers, the pressure of his hand on the small of her back, the heat of his body parallel to hers.
They pull apart, and neither of them say anything, simply looking at each other. She doesn't want to ruin this moment by speaking, she doesn't want to break whatever spell might have been cast over him to bring him to her like this. She wants to treasure this moment forever, the one moment where she felt his lips against hers, felt his body flush to hers, felt herself held in his arms.
And then he kisses her again, and she forgets what it is like to think at all.
Thirty four days after she helps him die, he comes to her door.
He studies her as he comes into her flat. No makeup, hair tied up, old shirt and well-worn pair of tracksuit bottoms, with an old, faded sports team insignia on the right thigh. There's a book on the ground (Agatha Christie), a dirty dish (fish & chips), a cold cup of tea, and a well-used lab coat thrown haphazardly onto the back of a chair. The room speaks to him almost as a person incarnate, of a single life lived in solitude, without the company of others and without the intrusion of a romantic life. He'd known that all along, of course, but it was still strange to see it so very clearly, so completely and utterly evident.
He's come here on a mission. He's come here to test a theory, to confirm a hypothesis, and he's absolutely certain that he's going to empirically find that he is right.
He turns to her after a long moment, his eyes fixing onto her. "Why are you embarrassed?" he asks, taking in the redness of her cheeks, the nervous tapping her fingers on her arm, the way she shifts her weight ever so slightly from foot to foot, clearly uneasy.
She laughs timidly and looks away from him, dropping her eyes down to the floor. "It-uh, it's just- you can tell so much by people's things and – and, well..." she replies, shrugging, gesturing to the items around the room, at the dirty dishes and the crumbs on the floor and the half-hidden collection of formulaic Hollywood romance films.
"Well what?" he replies, still studying her, still taking it all in. Her features were objectively quite attractive, by conventional standards. Well constructed cheekbones, bright and clear eyes, slender neck.
"Well," she starts, still avoiding his gaze. "It's... it's uncomfortable, having someone pick you apart like that, to read you like an open book."
"Don't be uncomfortable," he tells her, and he can see some of that tension leave her, fading away.
She shakes her head as if to rid herself of those thoughts, and looks up to him once more. "Anyways," she says, starting over, "Wha-what do you need help with?"
Whenever she does look him in the eyes, he always notices this twinge of – something. Something that he can't quite name, something that he doesn't quite recognize – some emotion that he doesn't quite understand. He takes a step forward, towards her. "I don't need help with anything."
"Y-you don't?" she stutters, her eyes growing large.
Her pupils have fully dilated, he notes to himself. He moves again. "No."
"Then... then what?"
"You're in love with me," he states, looking down at her, watching her look up at him, watching her struggle to respond.
She gasps audibly. "W-what?"
Part of him wants to reciprocate what she so clearly feels for him. Part of him would like nothing more than to feel the things she does, to want the thing she wants the way she wants them, just like the star-crossed lovers in those absurdly boring love story films. And that's why he's here, isn't it? To test his theory, once and for all. "You've been in love with me for the past nineteen months and eight days," he tells her, an undeniable truth.
She doesn't answer, a silent statue before him, frozen soild.
"We both know it. We've both always known it," he tells her, and it's true. He's known since the fourth time he walked into her lab at the hospital, when she'd looked up at the sound of his voice and smiled in a way he'd never seen before, a smile that conveyed so much more than anything he'd ever felt in his life.
"Sh-Sherlock, I-"
He moves even closer. "You help me no matter what. You believe me no matter what. That's... remarkable." This is true. So very true. And it's the reason that he is here tonight, the reason that he's come back from the north and the south and the east to see her, to be with her. He's been preoccupied with this theory since he left London the last time, caught up in thoughts of love and lust and want. So he's here to see if maybe he's missed something along the way, maybe he's ignored something he shouldn't have.
Maybe he can love Molly Hooper after all.
"Oh?" she squeaks out, looking straight up at him, with all the hope in the world contained in one single gaze.
Time to test his theory. "Thank you for saving my life, Molly Hooper," he murmurs, his voice barely above a growl.
"Oh, well, you know," she babbles, completely flustered and completely unbound. "It was noth-"
He makes his first move, his first trial. Moriarty, as always, had been spot on with the assignation of nicknames to both himself and his brother – Mycroft was a man of ice and steel, a cold knife in a world of daggers and guns. And Sherlock – Sherlock was a man without romantic inclination, without time for desire and without need for physical release. But he is, above else, observant, and when he moves his head down to kiss her, he kisses her with confidence, knowing that observation has provided him with all the tools he needs. He feels her stiffen with his touch, but he presses her tighter against him, deepening his kiss, and he can start to feel her melt into his arms.
When she looks up at him, when they break apart, he can see that same look in her eyes as on that night when he'd inadvertently exposed her love of him to the entire gathered group at their Christmas affair, the look she'd given him when he'd pulled his lips away from her cheek. It was a look of finality, a longing gaze that would commit the moment to memory, to be filed away and cherished, first-hand knowledge of something that would never happen again.
So when he leans forward and kisses her again, he can feel her gasp into his mouth, taken aback, completely off guard.
And when he moves over her naked form, sprawled on top of the duvet in her modest bedroom, he can see that look again, that look of total shock, that look of ecstatic surprise so evident in her eyes. The raw emotion on her face, the euphoria and the shock and the pure happiness that seems to radiate from her is fascinating, even as he touches her skin and kisses her jaw and glides his hands across her body. And even though he can feel the pleasure that this physical contact elicits within him, the enjoyment of the union between their bodies, he can't help the nagging feeling of doubt that starts to pervade him.
Because he's wrong and he knows it. His theory is false and it's eating away at him, even she kisses his shoulder and wraps her legs around him.
You can't prove love, after all.

I am a parent and a photographer, so I do understand what parents are after when they come to me looking to hire a Calgary Family Photographer. Mainly they are worried that their kids are getting bigger and they don't have a set of photos that shows their personalities, expressions and character at that time.
There are quite a few different approaches to photographing a family and this post doesn't speak to all of the options. My approach is probably best described as photo journalistic coverage of a planned activity. Or to paraphrase my clients "photos of family that don't look overly posed."
When I first started photographing Calgary families I found it extremely painful. The parents told me they wanted a portrait, so I did my best to arrange everyone and then tried to get a photo where every person was looking at the camera and smiling. Wow, just writing a description of it seems boring and painful. For starters, kids don't want to sit still, or look at a camera or smile on cue. Most young kids can't smile on request. Their true smile only comes out when they are laughing. Long story short, this approach wasn't for me. As a Calgary Family Photographer what I wanted to do was just basically walk around a park, neighbourhood, or natural area with a family and take photos while they interacted with each other. How do you sell that though? Its always easier to show people what they will get versus trying to describe it so I started to make a collection of the types of images I wanted.
After I finished doing the more traditional portraits I asked families to take a small walk and try to ignore me and my camera. I told moms the portraits are done, don't worry about the kids getting their clothes dirty. Just let them be kids and let me take photos of it. This strategy worked really well and the resulting images made it easy for me to sell other families on the concept. Now at a typical family photography session we will just go out and wander around an area with limited direction from me. I still believe a traditional family portrait is important, but now I look for the perfect opportunity for it, get the parents in place and then bring the kids in at the last second. The key is to tfake the photos quick and move on. If you don't get it don't worry, just keep going and try again later. In short, keeping the kids moving and busy is the key.
Now when I get families looking to hire a Calgary Newborn Photographer I can show them these types of photos, explain that the same kind of shoot can be done for a maternity session and then when their children are a bit older we can do something similar. The goal for a newborn shoot for me it to document the baby and get a record of how cute and tiny they were. Quite often couples who are hiring a Calgary Newborn Photographer aren't even really thinking about what kind of shoot they will want when their kids are older so it's nice to introduce them to this option and plant the idea.

Michael Adams, President, The University of Georgia speaks at Terry Third Thursday
"Lessons from the Top of the (Academic) Hill: Higher Education Leadership in Challenging Times"
Dr. Michael F. Adams was named the 21st president of the University of Georgia on June 11, 1997. He immediately focused on securing UGA's future as one of America's premier public research universities. Under Dr. Adams' leadership, student quality has risen steadily and the University of Georgia has been recognized as one of the nation's top 20 public research universities for eight out of the past 10 years byU.S. News & World Report.
Now in his 16th year as President of the University of Georgia, Dr. Michael F. Adams is one of America's longest serving and best known university presidents. A widely respected figure in higher education, he has been elected by his peers to lead a number of national organizations including the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, the American Council on Education and the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Executive Committee.
He holds a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University and has been awarded five honorary degrees. In addition, he is a specialist in political communication and higher education administration and has written professionally in both areas. Dr. Adams has held senior positions in state and national government—as Chief of Staff to former Senator Howard Baker and as an advisor to former Tennessee Governor and current Senator Lamar Alexander.
Either personally or on behalf of the University he has received more than 50 awards in higher education, including the Knight Foundation Award for Presidential Leadership, the Pioneer Award for Leadership in Civil Rights and the James T. Rogers Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He is the recipient of the Governor's Award in the Humanities from the Georgia Endowment for the Humanities. For 11 consecutive years, Georgia Trend magazine has included Dr. Adams on its list of Most Influential Georgians.
The UGA campus has been transformed since he took office, with more than $1 billion in new construction, renovation and infrastructure and 6.2 million square feet of new space completed. The East Campus Village, served by the Harris Dining Commons, added space for more than 1,200 students to help meet demand for on-campus living, and another 500-bed residence hall opened in 2010. The new home of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, also on East Campus, opened in 2008, and the expansion of the Georgia Museum of Art was completed in early 2011. The Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries, to be named in honor of the long-serving Georgia Senator, was dedicated in February 2012, and a range of student-serving facilities, including an expansion of the Tate Student Center, has been opened during his tenure.
Under his leadership, the University of Georgia has attained its highest rankings ever; has become the most selective in its history; and has grown from some 29,000 students to almost 35,000 students today.
Dr. Adams is a graduate of the public schools of Georgia and Tennessee, earning his diploma in 1966 as the most outstanding graduate of Chattanooga High School and earned undergraduate degree in speech and history from Lipscomb University, which named him Alumnus of the Year in 2011. He has been married to his college sweetheart, Mary Lynn Ethridge Adams, whom he met in a Lipscomb University history class, for 41 years.
They are the parents of two sons, both of whom are married to UGA alumnae, and are very proud of their three granddaughters, Campbell, Tucker and Lawson.
In May, Dr. Adams announced his intention to step down from the presidency effective June 30, 2013, saying, "I was privileged in 1997 to be given the opportunity to come to a university that had been very well served by its previous presidents, especially those in the modern era, Fred Davison, Henry King Stanford and Charles Knapp. I believe that my work here has continued the upward trajectory they established and that the next president will find a university positioned for extraordinary success."

The Characters:
Dolemite - Rudy Ray Moore! He's big, he's mean, he's a lover and a fighter. He's not really a good guy, but he's better than the bad guys, he's Dolemite!
Queen Bee - Dolemite's madam, she has been running, er, business while he was in prison.
One Dozen Kung Fu Hookers - Dolemite's girls, put through training by Queen Bee to make them a lethal force.
The Reverend - Minister with some general celibacy issues.
Blakeley - FBI agent who wants to help Dolemite.
Mitchell and White - Pair of corrupt FBI officers, both of them look like used car salesmen.
The Creeper - Odd little drug addict who hangs around hamburger stands. Gunned down by Willie Green's men.
Willie Green - The nemesis of any respectable prostitution ring and Dolemite's rival, takes a fall.
Willie Green's Men - A bunch of thugs and bouncers, no match for Dolemite and his Kung Fu Hookers.
The Plot:
Any movie which makes me take notice of the language is an eye opener to start with. When it involves a very large jiving man who commands an army of hookers trained in martial arts I get excited. Hence we have this piece of work. Dolemite was set up by Mitchell and White (Who take their orders from the Mayor, who has a business relationship with Willie Green.) on drug and theft charges. When the prison warden notices crime is still skyrocketing he makes Dolemite a deal, clean up the streets and you're a free man. ("Hey boss, we imprisoned this guy, but the crime rate is going up. Obviously he wasn't the problem, guess we should let him out...") What follows is chaos, crazy fight scenes, gratuitous sex, and some amazingly funny dialog. One of the first things accomplished is getting Dolemite's nightclub back from Willie Green, which is neatly taken care of by a secret compartment full of cash under the floor. (Queen Bee had to give up the club for borrowing money.) Willie is not very happy with losing his cash cow, when he shows up with a small army of henchmen to shut the club down all heck breaks loose. I love the martial arts touch, nobody just throws punches, have you ever seen a girl wearing polyester bell bottoms use Ti Kwan Leep on someone? Good stuff, I assure you. On top of all this you have our title character's wardrobe, any man confident enough to wear those has to be tough.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
The FBI does not require search warrants.
Never ask some girl, who is holding a switchblade, to help you.
Hookers are prone to mood swings.
Poetic street dissertations are a valid form of ID.
Bad edits really can ruin a sex scene.
Hookers are all blackbelts.
Compound interest sucks.
I really don't need to see some fat guy naked, especially from the rear.
It takes less than ten seconds to strangle someone.
Shooting with two pistols is much easier if you are bowlegged.
Stuff To Watch For:
4 mins - Somebody was paid to choreograph this fight scene?
11 mins - RANDOM GRATUITOUS BREAST SHOT!
13 mins - Where did all the dead guys go?
16 mins - I want a red velour couch!
19 mins - That's quite a massage, hey, what sort of place is this anyway?
19 mins - RANDOM GRATUITOUS BREAST SHOT!
21 mins - Oops, boom mike...
40 mins - Now that is one big woman.

Nearly 20 years ago, my college friends and I thought we were "retro" by screening various blaxploitation films just for the fun of it. At the time, some of the films were only 10-15 years old and many of our parents were young enough to have seen them in the cinema when they were released. Out of them all, "Dolemite" hit us like a ton of really funny bricks. Yes, the visible boom mics and wires and the cheesy Kung Fu and the wild conventions (Queen Bee's Kung Fu hookers) were funny in and of themselves. But for the fellas -- we just kept looking at ol' Rudy and saying "This? This guy is the Super Mack? This scraggly, fat, bloodshot-eyed buffoon?" And we loved him. And yes, in our late 30's, we still regularly quote lines from the film. The movie is funniest if you have been drinking and take turns with the remote, permitting drunken one-liners from the audience at every possible interval. Remember: back then people were tired of "being hassled by The Man." Dolemite just decided to do something about it. If you don't take yourself too seriously, Dolemite is worth an annual viewing.

This is a great way to weed out your un-hip friends, just pop in Dolemite(or The Human Tornado) and if they are with it, keep 'em. If they don't get it, are offended, or try to play "Mystery Science Theater" throughout the movie, send 'em packing. F--k what Hollywood or the mainstream critics says is a classic. Dolemite is, warts and all, a movie that does what movies are supposed to do: entertain our asses. Long live Rudy Ray Moore.

I would love to see Dolemite in Gotham City in the 1960s. He'd take over that town in a week. "Holy profanity, Batman! My ears are bleeding!"
CAN the Dynamic Duo survive the odious onslaught of salacious slang??
WILL the Kung Fu Hookers defeat the bumbling henchmen of the city's master criminals??
Tune in next week to find out! Same Bat-Time, same Bat-channel!

The Stryker LFIT V40 Femoral Head is a medical component used in total hip replacement surgeries. It fits into the hip socket and attaches to the femoral stem. As part of a recent recall of the LFIT COCR V40 Femoral Head, Stryker notified its implanting physicians on August 29, 2016, of the "higher than expected" incidence of taper lock failure for certain sizes of the LFIT Femoral Head. Upon receipt of these letters, some physicians began following up with patients who may have the faulty replacement component.
Do you have a Stryker LFIT V40 hip implant? Complete the form below and our team will get back to you.
Review My Case
Is My Stryker LFIT V40 Recalled?
If you have an LFIT COCR V40 Femoral Head implant, you should receive a recall notice in the mail from your physician and/or from Stryker. If you are uncertain as to whether you received an LFIT V40 component as part of your hip replacement surgery, contact us. Pope McGlamry will investigate your situation at no cost to you and determine if you have a claim for the Stryker LFIT device.
LFIT V40 Femoral Head Design Flaws
Like other defective Stryker devices, the LFIT V40 Femoral Head can cause many severe complications for patients implanted with the device. Excessive wear causes metal from the cobalt-chromium head to enter the bloodstream, resulting in metallosis —an adverse response to metal in the body. Additionally, the LFIT V40 is subject to spontaneous dissociation, when the femoral head disconnects from the hip system due to corrosion. The LFIT V40 has also been found to have a higher than usual rate of taper lock failures which is a failure of the femoral head to connect with the femoral stem. Revision surgery may be needed as a result.
Latest Stryker LFIT V40 Update
LFIT V40 Failure Symptoms
Hip failures can result in a number of painful symptoms, such as:
- pain
- corrosion
- inflammation
- joint instability
- dislocation
- metallosis
- broken bones around the components
- loss of mobility
- leg length discrepancy
Stryker LFIT V40 Lawsuit
Unlike firms who make big promises and then refer their cases to other attorneys, Pope McGlamry has the expertise you need for your case. We are experienced with Stryker hip replacement lawsuits, and currently represent hundreds of patients who have been harmed by these devices. If you believe you have an LFIT COCR V40 Femoral Head as part of your hip implant, or if you have received a recall letter, contact Pope McGlamry or submit your case for a free consultation.

Gun to your head; what would it take to make setuptools as a package author easy to use?
I've spent far too long time today trying to create a package for a little piece of code I've written . Because I can never remember all the bizarre options and commands to setup.py I tried to do it by following Tarek Ziade's wonderful Expert Python Programming but I still got stuck.
Granted, I did not read the f**n manual. Why should I have to? I've got more important things to do such as eating cookies and watching tv.
Here's what I know:
Here's what I don't know:
If I was a setuptools hacker I would happily wrap up all these annoying questions into a single script that just sensibly guesses everything and removing any choices and replace them with suggestions. But I'm not.
Or am I wrong. Should I take the plunge and study the manual? Will having a all-singing-all-dancing script that just works just be another leaky abstraction?
PS. If you do comment, please don't answer the bullet point questions above. I know most of the answers at the moment (but will surely forget them till the next time). Asking the questions to prove a point that setuptools requires too much schooling.

OSHA proposes change to improve illness data accuracy
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed revising its Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting regulation by restoring a column on its Form 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, to better identify work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The rule would not change existing requirements for when and under what circumstances employers must record MSDs on injury and illness logs.
Many employers currently are required to record workplace injuries and illnesses, including work-related MSDs, on OSHA's Form 300. The proposed rule would require employers to place a check mark in a column for all MSDs they have recorded.
The proposed requirements are identical to those contained in the OSHA recordkeeping regulation issued in 2001. Before 2001, OSHA's injury and illness logs contained a column for repetitive trauma disorders that included noise and MSDs. In 2001, OSHA separated noise and MSDs into two separate columns; however, the MSD column was deleted in 2003 before the provision took effect.

I do not think the graphics driver will work properly in a Mac computer. I do not think that driver has been validated to work with that specific hardware. I recommend contacting Apple in order to check if Windows has been tested or validated for that computer or not.
2. Re: 20s boot delay Intel HD3000 Mac mini 2011 on Win7 (32bit)reinhard Jun 5, 2012 4:03 AM (in response to Fred_Intel)
There comes a driver with bootcamp for the HD3000, but it makes no difference.
I tested several versions of Intel HD3000 drivers without success. I assume most people don`t realize that the Intel driver is causing the delay and they think it is the slow HDD.
My problem is that I bought a Intel 520 SSD for faster boot and I realized that it takes 20s for the HD3000 Intel driver to load. That`s very sad...
Any ideas?
3. Re: 20s boot delay Intel HD3000 Mac mini 2011 on Win7 (32bit)Mark Nieuwenhuis Jul 12, 2012 1:17 AM (in response to reinhard)
The 20s delay has nothing to do with the Intel Video Driver. The 20 seconds delay is caused by loading the EFI CSM module. Realise that the Mac Mini does not have a BIOS. Instead it uses EFI for booting. Windows however, relies on BIOS. Therefore, the EFI CSM module is loaded in order to simulate the BIOS.
Unfortunately, the BIOS emulation mode in the MAC Mini disables AHCI and enables IDE. Therefore I think you will not get any advantage at all when running a SSD. For a SSD you should have AHCI enabled.
The only way to solve this is to boot in EFI mode instead of BIOS (CSM) mode. This is finally made right in Windows 8 by Microsoft. But... unfortunately, the Intel Driver does not work in EFI mode, see
The specified item was not found.
Apparently Intel does not want to solve this!

Thanks Mark,
but how can it be the EFI-BIOS-issue, if uninstalling of the Intel HD3000 driver removes the 20s delay?
By the way, I have the AHCI modus enabled on my mac mini with Win 7 32bit.
I could see a performance boost, at least according to the Win peformance index ;-)
What I need is a Intel HD3000 driver, which is properly written...not that low cost sh..

Elderly Man Dies Going Back into Burning Sydney Home
Investigation underway
An elderly man has died after his house went up in flames at St Ives overnight, after initially escaping the blaze.
The 81 year old's body was found inside the home on Blackburn Street just before 7pm. Firefighters say when they arrived the home was engulfed in flames.
"It was a very intense fire, the fire was reportedly through the roof on the arrival of the brigade. It's alleged that the gentleman was outside with neighbours upon hearing his smoke alarm, he has re-entered the building and unfortunately doing so cost him his life" Fire Inspector John Paull said.
It's not known why he went back inside and the cause of the fire is also under investigation.

The Divine Liturgy, and especially the Anaphora (the offering) are filled with hymns and prayers that speak directly to thanksgiving and gratitude, from which spring our tithes and offerings.
… [T]hanksgiving (Greek eucharistia) reveals the essence of Christian faith. As Fr. Alexander Schmemann said in his final sermon, "Everyone capable of thanksgiving is capable of salvation and eternal joy," for Christians find their fundamental calling in thanksgiving… [A]ny life not built upon the foundation of gratitude to God is not authentic Christian life. Thanksgiving to God proves that we are truly alive: "The dead do not praise the Lord, / Nor any who go down into silence" (Ps. 115:17). We rightly call the Divine Liturgy "the Eucharist" (thanksgiving), for thanksgiving is the sign of the spiritual life, and the Eucharist keeps us alive.
From Let Us Attend: A Journey Through the Orthodox Divine Liturgy, by Fr. Lawrence Farley, Chapter 13, The Anaphora (the offering).

Speeding drivers could be fined nearly double their weekly income as penalties are hiked
New sentencing powers aimed at deterring speeding drivers will come into force next week with the worst offenders facing big increases in fines.
From Monday, motorists who travel at excessively dangerous speeds, including those who exceed 100 mph on motorways, could be fined up to 175 per cent of their weekly income.
In addition to the new fines, they could also be banned from driving for 56 days and have six points added to their licence.
But while road safety charities have welcomed the move, there is concern that the fines will have little impact on behaviour because there are too few traffic officers on the roads to enforce them.
With police forces having to make millions of pounds worth of cuts, many have chosen to reduce the number of traffic patrols.
Figures show that between 2005 and 2014 the number of specialist road officers in England and Wales reduced from 7,104 to 4,356.
Last year a group of MPs warned that sharp falls in the number of recorded motoring offences was more likely to be down to the lack of patrols rather than an improvement in driving standards.
RAC road safety spokesman, Pete Williams, said: "We welcome the change in sentencing guidelines for gross speeders. Anyone who breaks the limit excessively is a danger to every other road user and is unnecessarily putting lives at risk.
"Hopefully, hitting these offenders harder in the pocket will make them think twice before doing it again in the future.
But he added: "Tougher penalties are only effective in changing behaviour or increasing compliance if drivers genuinely believe that they are likely to be caught and prosecuted for breaking the law.
"With a significantly reduced number of dedicated roads police officers you have to question whether increased fines alone will change the attitude of excessive speeders."
Gary Rae, campaigns director for Brake, also said the increase in fines was long overdue, but said the government had to ensure the resources were available to enforce them.
He said: "I hope that magistrates ensure the new sentences are consistently applied. It is also vital that a new government look afresh at police resources and make traffic policing a national priority, so that speeding drivers know they will be caught and punished."
The introduction of the new top rate fines has opened the government up to accusations that they are attempting to raise revenue through the scheme, with any cash going to the Treasury.
Roger Lawson of the Association of British Drivers said any extra revenue could help recoup some of the huge court costs involved in prosecuting motorists.
Meanwhile it has emerged that millions of motorists could be inadvertently speeding because they have been given wrong information by their sat navs.
More than half of drivers who took part in a survey by the price comparison firm, uSwitch, admitted they did not know the correct speed limits for single and dual carriageways.
A third also admitted that they rarely updated their sat navs, meaning they were likely to be given out of date information where roads were subject to variable speed limits.
Rod Jones, insurance expert at uSwitch.com, said: "We are officially a nation of sat nav junkies, but our addiction to technology is causing us to drive dangerously and risk large fines.
"While sat navs and smartphones are an incredibly useful tool for motorists, it is important to remember they are never a complete substitute for knowing the rules of the road."

The contestants scampered down the runway, bleating at their admirers. Poets sang their praises in verse, as the male-only audience appraised the competitors' beauty. But instead of the victor getting showered with roses and a tiara, it was off to the highest bidder for many finalists in the first Saudi beauty pageant for locally bred sheep. The goal of the competition on Thursday evening in a stretch of desert just north of Riyadh was to encourage Saudis to breed for quality. Some of those at the event said that Saudi sheep — a breed known as Nejdi sheep — have markedly improved over a decade because of the attention given to breeding them.Continue reading the main story

|They could've had a great sequel. They were going to Amsterdam where prostitution and cannabis are legal. There was so much potential there only to be wasted on Guantamano Bay.

- Listing of open-ended investment funds
The admission to trading in Luxembourg is an easy and straightforward process once the funds vehicle complies with its home state requirements.
Open-ended funds may be listed on either the regulated market or on the alternative market, the Euro MTF. Once accepted by their home authority prospectuses of open- ended funds are accepted for Luxembourg listing.
Criterion for open-ended type
The Luxembourg criterion for determining whether a fund is to be viewed as open- ended is very simple as it is sufficient that investors benefit from a redemption option on certain redemption dates.
Free Float
Rules are flexible regarding the free float requirements, a handful of investors is sufficient.
- Listing of closed-ended investment funds
Listing conditions for closed-ended funds are subject to additional distinctions to be made: a) between EEA funds and third country funds, and b) the market on which the shares/units are intended to be listed.
EEA closed-ended funds
- Regulated Market
The Luxembourg Prospectus Act applies to listings of EEA closed-ended funds. This means that funds which already received approval from their home Member State under the Prospectus Directive may use this approved prospectus for the admission to trading on the Regulated Market. The CSSF will only receive notification of the approval by the competent authority of the home Member State and will not make any further checks on such prospectus.
- Euro MTF
For listings on the Euro MTF, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will review the prospectus before approving it.
- Third country closed-ended funds
For third country closed-ended funds, a prospectus shall be approved by the CSSF (for listings on the regulated market with EU passport) or by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (for listings on the EuroMTF).
- Free Float
To list closed-ended funds, the same free float requirement as for commercial or operational companies applies, meaning 25% of free float and a minimum number of investors, generally in the range between 20 and 30.
- Listing of Luxembourg limited partnerships
Luxembourg limited partnership are eligible for listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
- Regulatory, settlement and governance aspects
The prospectus may be drafted in English, French or German.
Securities must be freely transferable and clearable via the Clearstream/ Euroclear systems.
The mere listing in Luxembourg of a non-Luxembourg alternative fund, be it open- ended or closed ended, is not viewed as marketing in Luxembourg and accordingly does not trigger any license or reporting requirements under the Luxembourg AIFMD
Corporate Governance
Luxembourg does not impose additional local corporate governance rules on foreign funds listed in Lux but accepts the rules of the fund's home jurisdiction.
Accounting Standards
IFRS (or equivalent accounting standards) is only required if a listing on the regulated market (benefiting of the EU passport) is sought.
- Disclosure requirements
The scope of disclosure will depend on i) whether the securities are listed on the Euro MTF or on the regulated market (with EU passport) and ii) whether the issuer is an open-ended or a closed-ended fund.
Regulated Market
The Regulated Market (with EU listing passport) falls within the scope of the Luxembourg Transparency Act (implementing the EU Transparency Directive). Therefore issuers of closed-ended funds with Luxembourg as their "Home Member State" shall comply with reporting and disclosure obligations under the Transparency Act. There are two types of information to be disclosed: (i) periodic information (e.g. annual and semi-annual reports), and (ii) ongoing information (e.g. disclosure of major holdings). In addition, issuers are subject to the publication of some technical and market information as described in the listing rules.
Open-ended funds do not benefit from the EU listing passport and are outside the scope of the Transparency Act. Nevertheless the obligations set forth by the Listing Rules do apply.
Euro MTF
Shares/units listed on the Euro MTF are outside the scope of the Transparency Act. Nevertheless, other or similar disclosure/reporting obligations (set out in the Listing Rules) apply to issuers of shares and units admitted to trading on the Euro MTF. This applies for both closed-ended and open-ended regulated funds.
- Conclusion
Luxembourg is an attractive listing place for Luxembourg and foreign investment funds.
In particular the EuroMTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange attracts international issuers, including investment funds. It is easy, accessible and quick. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange typically reverts back within a couple of days following an applications.
