In a competitive landscape, lack of differentiation equals commodity.
There isn't a commodity out there that gets to charge a premium--not one red cent more--unless there are no competitors. Commodities are complete substitutes. No one cares if you swap out one for another, because they're all the same. There is little differentiation. A beach here is basically the same as a beach there. A lift and lodging deal here is the same as a deal over there.
Let's say you're in the lobby of a hotel, or at a rest stop, or even surfing the web.
You happen upon a brochure (or website) for a ski resort. You flip through it. How much of it was truly unique? How much differentiation was created in your mind as you viewed it? Aside from a few facts about physical attributes, what popped off the page as truly unique? I'd bet you saw one or two money shots showing off the snow, a few more generic skiing and riding action shots, some lifestyle photographs and maybe a cute kid with a helmet and goggles, right?
Let's use another example.
You pick up a travel magazine at your local newsstand, and page through it casually as you wait for a phone call, or sip coffee. It's an issue about beach getaways. How many different ads will feature a photo of a woman, on a lounge chair, with a palm tree? It might surprise a lot of destination marketers to learn that a common response to ads like these is "Great. A Beach. So what?"
To make matters worse, online travel agencies, aggregators, and directory websites seem to have trained the consuming public to look for low price as the only driver of choice. The websites that people like to go to see how much it would cost to fly to Denver, or Miami aren't in the business of helping create differentiation, or build a strong brand, or introduce a destination to a new audience. For them, it's all about transaction volume.
The result? Lots of great deals for the consumer, but travel brands become uninteresting in a hurry if they're not the cheapest deal.
Features and attributes are not meaningful points of differentiation
For those on the inside of the business, it's especially important to see things from the consumers
perspective. Many marketers take stock of the features or attributes they have to sell or promote, and attempt to create a brand position around them. The problem is that many of those attributes (a ski lift, a beach, a restaurant, activities for kids) aren't all that unique. Lots of places have beaches, don't they?
This is why creating differentiation within a particular sub-category is so vital to a strong competitive position, and can really drive preference, market share, and bottom line growth.

FRAUD ALERT- Phone Scammers Posing as Cape Coral Police Detective!
(July 28, 2014)- Cape Coral Police are warning citizens of a telephone scam where scammers are posing as Cape Coral Police Detectives.
Today, the Cape Coral Police Department has received 4 calls from New York, Pennsylvania, Utah and Texas about a fraud using the name of a Cape Coral Police Detective. In three of the incidents, males have received a text claiming to be from a Cape Coral Police Detective. The text says that they are being investigated for soliciting a 17 year-old minor and attempted sexual battery, and to contact the sender. When the victim calls, they speak to a male subject claiming to be a Cape Coral Police Detective. The impostor tells the victim that to avoid prosecution they will need to register for a program that will cost around $800. One potential victim said the suspect called him directly and attempted this scam, rather than texting.
The Cape Coral Police Department is aware of this and is currently investigating. This is a scam! No member of the Cape Coral Police Department will ever call to solicit monies in lieu of prosecution.
If you have any information on the identity of the suspect or have received one of these text messages or phone calls, please contact the Cape Coral Police Department at 239-574-3223.

Since the age of four Mike knew six truths or promises about his life and from that time until now God has accomplished all six of them. The first of these promises was fulfilled when he met Seira, the woman of his dreams while studying at a Christian College in Pensacola, Florida. They were married a year and a half later. Another promise was realized as Mike and Seira gave ten years of their lives to sharing the God News of Jesus in Japan.
God has blessed Mike and Seira with great increase by adding five beautiful children to their lives. These brilliant blessings of light and joy are Keido, Kento, Kairo, Kenya, and Kiera, who everyone calls "Kiwi." Some of the children were born in America, while others were born in Japan while ministering. Together the Wogsland's have stood together as a family to face a task that they were told was an impossibility. This task was to plant a church in the heart of Kyoto, Japan, which is the spiritual epicenter of the nation.
Kyoto is a city known as the hardest mission field outside of the Middle East. This is a city that carries the moniker, "The Missionaries Graveyard." This is a city proclaiming the residence of the "Son of Satan." While Kyoto is a spiritually dark stronghold, the Wogsland's saw the God of the Impossible do impossible things, never heard of or seen before things, and unbelievable things. Japanese lives were changed and souls were secured for eternity.
Currently God has brought Mike, Seira, and the children back to America for a season to re-establish and develop new ministry resources for Japan. This new expression of their ministry extends beyond Japan, to America and the rest of those in the Kingdom of Faith.
Mike and Seira have established a growing proclamation of what God has taught them along the way called Translating Love. Translating Love is about teaching and learning how to personally understand and translate the Love of God in our lives as His disciples. Further our discipleship is about learning how to understand, translate, and communicate the love of God in our walk to others.
We'd love for you to join with us on this incredible journey. Please come with us as we are together Translating Love.

The new GOM Software 2017 is now available. It includes new and advanced features for 3D metrology, virtual measuring room (VMR), and 3D testing.
Robogrammetry allows you to capture large parts such as car bodies and side panels fast, precisely and reproducibly. To ensure process reliability when transforming measurements, robogrammetry combines robot positions and newly developed reference cubes. The reference cubes combine the properties of coded and uncoded markers. Compared to a traditional photogrammetry measurement, considerably less elements are required.
New tools for planning, checking and visualizing the exact positioning of reference cubes allows to quickly apply the cubes onto the measuring object in the most efficient way. In double robot measuring cells, the new software version automatically allocates measurement positions to the appropriate system side.
Especially regarding photogrammetry and fine adjustment, the computation time has been significantly reduced in the GOM Software 2017, thus allowing a swift postprocessing of measuring data. Particularly in projects that contain numerous measurements, a substantially higher performance can be noticed. In two evaluated customer projects containing approx. 1,200 ATOS measurements, for example, the GOM Software 2017 saved 80 % to 90 % of time for postprocessing. Despite the reduced computation time, the accuracy remains just as high. Furthermore, the performance of the path optimization in the virtual measuring room was increased.
The acceleration of the workflows is also noticeable in the TRITOP system. The more images a photogrammetry project contains, the more time you save.
Comparing and simultaneously visualizing measuring data and exchanging data in general becomes more and more important in metrology. Therefore, additional scalar values and geometries, e.g. from simulation programs, can be imported into ARAMIS Professional 2017 and GOM Correlate Professional 2017. The data created in the GOM software can be exported in different formats and can be used, for example, for oscillation analysis in a third-party software.
With the ARAMIS Kiosk Interface, GOM provides a new user interface for the evaluation of tensile tests. This way, standardized testing procedures can be carried out fast, easily and specifically.
- Extended CT import: Objects that were scanned with one CT simultaneously can be imported as individual meshes. GOM offers various polygonization modes for the import.
- Extended surface defect analysis: Surface defect analyses can now also be created in curved directions and without specifying the normal direction of the surface area.
- Improved airfoil inspection: Regions with different tolerances can be created on a section or a curve. Furthermore, profile edge ellipses can be generated to determine fitting ellipses at the leading edge and trailing edge of an airfoil profile.
- Extensive 3D clipping functionality: Hidden areas of the measuring object can be visualized by using the hexagonal clipping cuboid.
- Support of several monitors: In order to display different information on inspection elements simultaneously, the software allows to arrange windows, such as the diagram or the explorer, on one or several monitors.
- Simplified renaming of elements: In the new software version, it is possible to rename and number multiple elements at once.
- New selection function: Mesh areas lying above a defined plane can be selected automatically.
- Activation of warning limits: When creating an element or modifying its properties, a warning limit can now be enabled, provided that tolerances were defined.
- New ellipse functions: In the GOM Software 2017, you can easily construct auto ellipses and fitting ellipses.
- Facilitated creation of actual elements: The new measuring principle "compute on actual" combines the "referenced construction" and the "fitting element" based on an improved selection method.
- Automatic exposure time: The software automatically sets the exposure time both for ATOS measurements and photogrammetry (VMR) to achieve the maximum number of well-exposed reference points and optimally exposed surfaces.
- New thermometer functions: The GOM Software 2017 offers various options to measure the temperature manually or automatically.
- Capturing measuring objects in the VMR: Even if only individual parts of a measuring object are measured, for example parts of a car body, the software is able to create a coherent photogrammetry for the entire assembly.
- Path optimization in the VMR: Measurements that are carried out by the system through the same opening, as is the case when measuring the interior of a car body, are performed successively. In this way, the measurement series contains fewer intermediate positions.
- Evaluation of several measuring projects in ARAMIS: Different perspectives of the measuring object can be measured with one or several measuring systems and evaluated in one common project.
- Computation of strain rate: Inter-stage checks allow you to analyze how strain is changing over time.
- Static point component: This new function allows you to evaluate a subset of reference points in a point component. This makes sense especially in projects with many potentially recognizable reference points.
- Median filter: The software determines the median for the rank order filter from all values the spatial filter refers to.

Please, Aim It Higher
on 09.12.2011 (server time)
Normally, I think it's tawdry when people try to tie current affairs to video games for the sake of seeming relevant, but a thought struck me yesterday, so I'm going to become the thing I hate for a bit.
It's been a decade now since America and the world were shocked into silent horror by the impacts of four planes; three into national landmarks and one more into a field in Pennsylvania, presumably on its way to a similar target. Ten years of mourning. Ten years of "never forgetting." Ten years of posturing, lashing out at other nations in our grief and rage, and doing a whole lot of nothing to improve things or progress beyond that day.
Oh, sure, we killed (or caught, or found the body of, depending on whom you ask) Osama Bin Laden, and we've been liberating (or occupying, depending on whom you ask) nations under the thumb of and killing higher-ups in the various terrorist networks (or scattered, unorganized groups, depending on whom you ask). We've maintained a "war on terror" for nearly as long as we've been waiting for this wound to heal, which is a feat, of sorts. At the same time, Ground Zero in New York City remains undeveloped to any real extent, despite scads of proposals as to what to do there. Xenophobic hatred towards anything Islamic amongst the bulk of Americans has become a disturbingly prevalent attitude. A fair amount of the world is upset with us as a nation for how we've mishandled a lot of things since 9/11. Score upon score of our young men and women are sent off to eventually come home with PTSD at the least, a few bullet scars or missing extremities if they're lucky, or in a body bag if that luck ran out.
No, I'm not here just to pontificate, and no, I didn't forget to mark this NVGR. You see, in a post-9/11 world (buzzwords!) that has managed to do little more than stagnate and wallow in its own misery, I feel there's one frontier that seems more open than others to addressing of the aftermath of that fateful day, and that's the realm of video games. Be it directly, allegorically, or even just tangentially, games have been at the forefront of coming to terms with what's going in the world because of that mess, and not letting the slew of taboo topics or the court of public opinion keep them from crafting the experiences they aim to provide.
The most obvious front where this occurs, of course, are war games. 2010's Medal Of Honor reboot is the most direct address of the state of the military world today, having the stones to take the player directly into the early days of the ongoing military action in Afghanistan. While not as rooted in real-world struggles, both of the biggest players in the military FPS scene, Activision and Electronic Arts, prominently feature conflicts between the West and the Middle East in their
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare
Battlefield 2
, respectively (though the former ends up swapping in everyone's second-favorite fallback nemesis, the Russians, after not too long). Both series are not afraid to feature direct, invasive attacks on the United States by outside forces, despite the stigma carried over from events in New York and Washington, DC in 2001. While less successful (and, arguably, less well crafted), THQ and Kaos'
ponders a similar premise, albeit with the invading force being North Korea this time around.
On a less blatant note, one can find a reasonable amount of allegory to insurgents in today's occupied nations such as Iraq and Afghanistan in Volition's
Red Faction
series. Despite being set, for the most part, in a semi-distant future on colonized Mars, the
Red Faction
games put the player in the shoes of several characters in league with a group that would easily be considered terrorists by today's standards. Considering the first game in the series came out four months before what would later be memorialized as Patriot Day, it's somewhat amazing further installments were green-lit, and that the series has survived to this day. Valve's
iterations, despite existing as early as 1999 in its original form as a Half-Life mod, have somehow managed to weather the storm of potential criticism from keeping one of its two, in-game team choices labeled Terrorists, and will continue doing so for the upcoming revamp,
CS: Global Offensive
That's not to say everything's been blowjobs and candy for the game industry when it comes to broaching such topics. Medal Of Honor, for instance, attempted a similar move to CS by setting-appropriately naming one of the two teams in online verus the Taliban, which met a slew of criticism that eventually forced its publishers to change the team name to Opposing Force. Apparently we've come far enough that it's okay to let people play as 1940s-era German National Socialists, or Japanese Imperial Forces, but actually naming the robbers in a glorified game of Cops and Robbers "Robbers," just because their real-world Robber counterparts are still fighting real-world Cops, is apparently not kosher? Another proposed game,
Six Days In Fallujah
, has been MIA since 2009 (presumably KIA) after protestations from Iraq War veterans, despite the fact the United States' Third Battalion First Marines allegedly
Atomic Games make the game for and about them. Since the start of conflict in Iraq, volume upon volume of books profiling the goings-on there have gotten published with far less controversy surrounding them, at least not to the point that projects have been shut down, and disturbing reports on misdeeds by some units and private military corporations are full-blown headline news, but recognizing and honoring the harrowing experiences endured by those trying to make a positive difference is taboo? Meanwhile, over-the-top, ridiculous nigh-mockeries of our current engagements in the Middle East, like 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand experience smooth sailing. Am I the only one who's just a bit insulted by this state of affairs?
Public backlash against gaming's portrayals of and allusions to conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan seems rather hypocritical. The oft-repeated mantra of "too soon," is the most common excuse given for this sort of outcry, but I'd like to reiterate that we have been at this for nearly
ten years
now. If nothing else, the beginnings of the wars that still linger on today should be slightly more open topics. One has to wonder if another problem many have with the idea of playing through such recent conflicts is the fact that no clear sense of victory has been established on either front. World War II has been stripmined for game content seemingly forever now, a conflict in which there were obvious winners and losers; the Allies took down the Axis, game, set, match. The Vietnam War, on the other hand, has seen less gaming success, with about as many titles or franchises as one can count on their fingers and toes, and was a much more controversial engagement that the "good guys" essentially lost. The American Civil War, if we want to jump back in the world's timeline a bit, has a similar title spread, and while the North's victory was more clearly established, the amount of American-on-American bloodshed muddles that victory in the eyes of many. More recently, the Korean War doesn't bring any related games to mind, despite the success of the M*A*S*H film and television series; the Gulf War of the early 1990s had but a smattering of games set there; and engagements such as the Bosnian War, Kosovo War, and numerous conflicts in Africa, all of which have had tenuous reolutions at best, have all but been completely overlooked.
It seems a reflection of some sort of base denial that something so clear-cut as World War II should be eaten up and reveled in by video game consumers, unscathed by critical disdain over the subject matter, while games about more complex or "sensitive" wars are subject to intense scrutiny and controversy on a fairly regular basis, requiring physical or temporal relocations of their settings and a thick enough shellac of fiction to see any sort of success. I have nothing but admiration for those developers out there who are willing to try and tackle such contested events and issues, directly or otherwise, and the publishers with the cajones to help get their games completed and into circulation. I imagine it can't be easy for all of those involved, as no doubt many in the industry have been touched by the conflicts of today or the initial tragedy that sparked the two largest of them, nevermind the veterans and other witnesses brought in as technical advisors on the games attempting to maintain some sense of accuracy.
I'd like to thank every game dev, tester, or what-have-you who's managed to push onward with projects about the wars of today despite losing friends or loved ones in the World Trade Center collapse or in military service, for your courage in trying to honor their sacrifices and tell their stories through interactive media, even in the face of public disdain and knee-jerk criticism. More media outlets could stand to learn from your example, and much of the world in general could stand to find ways of coming to terms with the War On Terror and its inspirations, rather than turning a blind eye to the last decade's legacy.

We all want our kids to have a fun summer. And most of the time they do without much help from us. Some of your happiest times were probably spent outdoors with your childhood friends. Your children are no different. They love to go to the beach, play at the park, swim in the pool, jump on the trampoline, camp out with relatives, hike in the woods, and so forth. Such activities help them develop physically and emotionally.
But as parents, we need to prevent injuries that can turn a fun summer into a painful time or even a life-altering tragedy. Here are 6 ways to help your kids have an enjoyable summer season.
1. Prevent Sunburn
These days, you're probably aware of the hazards of too much sun exposure, especially for infants and children. But it never hurts to be reminded of a few tips to prevent painful sunburn or worse.
- Keep children out of direct sunlight or cover them completely between 10:00am and 4:00pm when UV rays are strongest. Infants under 6 months of age should avoid all sun exposure.
- If children play outside during midday, apply a sunscreen with SPF strength of 30 or higher at least 15-30 minutes before sun exposure and have them wear protective clothing (wide-brimmed hats, sun-protective clothing that covers arms and legs, and sunglasses with UV protection).
- For children playing in water, apply a water-resistant sunscreen every 2-3 hours.
- If both sunscreen and insect repellant are required, apply the sunscreen first and then apply the insect repellant. Do not use a combination product.
To treat a mild sunburn at home, try applying cool cloths or taking cool showers. Lotions containing aloe vera can help ease pain. Acetaminophen (Tylenol™) can help soothe a headache. It is also important to drink water to prevent or relieve dehydration. Avoid using topical steroids on young children unless directed by a physician.
More extreme sunburns that involve blistering, high fever, severe headache, dehydration, confusion, or nausea require the sort of medical attention that urgent care centers provide.
2. Police the Playground and the Beach
Playgrounds and beaches provide places for good exercise and lots of fun. They can also be dangerous.
Make sure that your favorite playground has well-maintained equipment. Rusty metal equipment can lead to metal splinters and nasty infections. Untreated wooden equipment can produce splinters and unpleasant scrapes. Loose bolts are accidents waiting to happen. You might also check for poisonous plants such as poison ivy and infestations of bees or other pests.
Beaches are always a favorite with kids, but you should be aware of potential hazards. It goes without saying that you should always watch children in the water. Water depth and wave action can change rapidly. Also watch out for various critters—jellyfish, sea urchins, sting rays, even sharks—that can injure unsuspecting children and adults. Remember that the water and beach are these animals' primary habitat, not yours. Medical attention might be needed for stings and bites.
A word about trampolines. If you're thinking of getting one for your home, don't. Citing nearly 100,000 injuries per year, the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages recreational trampoline use for the home, even when all the safety rules (listed below) are followed. Kids are often injured when bumping into others, trying stunts like somersaulting, falling or jumping off the trampoline, or just landing wrong. Very serious and sometimes life-threatening injuries result, including broken bones, concussions, neck and spinal cord injuries that can lead to paralysis or even death.
If you already have and use a trampoline at home, follow these rules:
- Allow only one jumper at a time.
- Do not allow stunts, especially somersaults.
- Adults who are willing and able to enforce safety rules must supervise at all times.
- Make sure that safety netting and padding is in place and maintained.
- Check your homeowner's insurance policy to make sure that you're covered for trampoline-related injuries.
3. Avoid Insect Bites and Stings
Insect bites and stings can interrupt summer fun. Ticks are plentiful this year, and they carry debilitating, sometimes lethal, diseases [insert link to blog post on ticks]. Always check for ticks on anyone who has been outside, and remove them immediately. Using an insect repellant with at least 20% DEET can help.
Insect repellants are usually effective to keep mosquitoes in check. An occasional mosquito bite is seldom cause for concern, but being covered by mosquito bites will ruin any hike or camping trip in short order.
Bee and wasp stings can be dangerous, especially for persons who are allergic to them. For anyone who is allergic and at risk of anaphylactic shock, take the following steps:
- Call 911.
- Use an EpiPen™ to inject epinephrine into outer muscle of the thigh, not into hands or feet.
- Go to an urgent care facility or emergency room immediately after an EpiPen™ injection, even if symptoms subside, since there can be a delayed allergic reaction.
If there are no symptoms of allergic reaction, do the following:
- Remove the stinger by scraping with a flat edge. Do not pinch or use tweezers since that will inject more poison.
- Apply ice or cold compress.
- If stung on an arm or leg, elevate the area.
- Take acetaminophen (Tylenol™) for pain or an antihistamine (Benadryl™) for itching. Do not use aspirin.
- Follow up with a visit to an urgent care facility in 2-5 days if necessary.
If you have any questions or concerns after a bee sting, call or visit an urgent care center.
4. Patch Up Those Cuts and Scrapes
Most minor cuts and scrapes can be treated at home. However, if the wound is deep, dirty, or caused by an animal, a tetanus shot (or booster) might be needed.
Remember the following steps:
- Wash your hands.
- If bleeding doesn't stop, apply pressure with a clean bandage for a few minutes.
- Clean the wound with clear water. Do not get soap or other cleansers into the wound, but use them as necessary to clean around the wound.
- If any debris remains in the wound, try removing it with (disinfected) tweezers. If you cannot remove the debris, go to an urgent care facility.
- Apply an antibiotic cream and cover the wound with a sterile bandage.
- Change the bandage once a day or if it gets wet.
- After the wound scabs over, stop applying the bandage.
It's always a good idea to keep a well-stocked first aid kit handy for these situations.
Deep cuts or wounds that won't stop bleeding might require stitches. Visit an urgent care facility for that sort of treatment.
5. Attend to Head Injuries, Sprains, and Fractures
Bumps on the head are common for children and usually do not require medical attention. Nevertheless, if the following symptoms occur, you should go to an urgent care facility:
- Unconsciousness, confusion, or disorientation.
- Vomiting.
- Persistent, severe headache.
- Persistent irritability.
- Memory loss.
- Visual impairment.
If severe head trauma has occurred (immediate loss of consciousness; severe bleeding from head, nose, or ears; weakness in arm or leg; loss of balance, slurred speech, seizures, repeated vomiting, persistent crying, or cessation of breathing), CALL 911. Keep the victim still, lying down, and quiet. Do not move the victim unless absolutely necessary to get the victim out of further harm's way. To avoid further spinal injury, do not move the neck. If the victim is wearing a helmet, leave it in place.
Sprains and fractures are sometimes difficult to distinguish. If your child merely rolled an ankle, then it might be a mild sprain. In such cases, the child might be able to put weight on the ankle, although sometimes there can be impressive swelling and pain. Rest, ice, and elevation will generally produce a good result in a few days.
P – Protect
R – Rest
I – Ice
C – Ice
E – Elevation
If, however, there is major swelling, pain, numbness, or if it is extremely difficult for the ankle to bear any weight, a break might have occurred. Broken ankles, wrists, or other bones always require medical attention. Bear in mind that severe sprains can take longer to heal than some fractures.
Because it is difficult to tell a broken bone from a severe sprain, don't take any chances. Go to your nearest urgent care center to get a professional diagnosis. Most have X-ray equipment on site and are prepared to treat broken bones and sprains.
6. Keep Allergies in Check
During the summer, the weeds and grasses that developed during the spring continue to spread pollen that causes allergic reactions in children and adults. Sometimes, over-the-counter antihistamines such as Zyrtec™ can control these reactions.
But often, allergic reactions to pollen or molds can be truly debilitating with the potential to ruin a summer of fun. If you or your child suffer from seasonal allergies, ask a health professional to evaluate the situation. They can offer tips and medications that will help you avoid a summer filled with sniffles and runny eyes.
For all of these situations and if you are located near us, call or come to Kathy's Urgent Care so that we can help you and your children enjoy a fun summer. Remember, we're here to help you 7 days a week. No appointment needed!

Maria Detects Breast Cancer | Mammography | Screening Shield Concerns Thyroid Cancer | Homeopathy & Thermascan
All rights reserved © copyright Debby Bruck 2012 updated January 2015
Radiation Research | Standard radiation treatment meant to kill a rare form of breast cancer may actually make the cancer worse. Inflammatory breast cancer represents only 1 to 5 percent of all breast cancer cases, usually diagnosed at younger ages than other breast cancers, posing the highest risk to African American women. Duke University researcher Dr. Mark Dewhirst found radiation, intended to kill the cancer, actually stimulates the tumor cells to move.

The Washington Post | The use of routine mammograms over the past 30 years has done little to lower the death rate from breast cancer but has sharply increased the number of women (over 1 million) who are wrongly diagnosed with the disease and pay in financial, emotional and long term side-effects, such as lymphedema after surgery, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy and chemotherapy.

New York Times | An analysis of data from six European countries suggests that mammography screening has had no effect on breast cancer mortality.

British Medical Journal Entry
A study compared three sets of European country's breast cancer screening methods and their outcomes from collection data. Those included in the study were: Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) compared to the Republic of Ireland; the Netherlands compared to Belgium and Flanders (Belgian region south of the Netherlands), and Sweden compared to Norway. Data was collected from World Health Organization mortality database on cause of death and data sources on mammography screening, cancer treatment, and risk factors for breast cancer mortality.
From 1989 to 2006, deaths from breast cancer decreased by 29% in Northern Ireland and by 26% in the Republic of Ireland; by 25% in the Netherlands and by 20% in Belgium and 25% in Flanders; and by 16% in Sweden and by 24% in Norway. The time trend and year of downward inflexion were similar between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and between the Netherlands and Flanders. In Sweden, mortality rates have steadily decreased since 1972, with no downward inflexion until 2006. Countries of each pair had similar healthcare services and prevalence of risk factors for breast cancer mortality but differing implementation of mammography screening, with a gap of about 10-15 years.
New 3D Mammography Scans Increase Risks For Cancer Dr Mercola says that women can strengthen the immune system by minimizing exposure to ionizing radiation in devices and tests such as mammograms and airport scanners. Think of ways to boost your immune system to eliminate cancer cells on its own, such as daily sunlight, omega3 oils and vitamin D3.

Mammograms Are Close To My Heart
As a breast cancer survivor I've had my own personal experiences with mammograms and over the years formed my own opinions. Women have to weigh the benefits and risks.
Listening to the Diane Rehm Show this morning I knew I could not keep quiet about the mammography screening controversy. The more I read, I hear that women are angry about the new Task Force Guidelines. http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2009-11-18/#28909
It is good to air out the arguments on all sides, but I'm not sure we will ever settle on a happy note and make everyone satisfied with the outcome.
Diane makes sure she touched on all aspects of this issue and pointedly asks questions to find answers. You will be able to read the transcript on her site and listen to the podcast. It is a must 'listen' to show.
The points of contention that face us today contain these issues:
Is it all about a monolithic system that has been put into place over the years which recommended routine annual mammograms to millions of women beginning at age 40. The new recommendation suggests beginning this type of program at age 50.
My definition of prevention is different than the medical system. They consider diagnostic tools and reading clinical numbers as "prevention" to disease. I do not. It is simply a reading. Prevention is taking steps to "prevent" a disease from manifesting. Prevention is a change in lifestyle to create wellness and a strong healthy mind and body.
My friends have concerns that thermascans are typically not covered under most medical insurance policies. Even with the policy I have, it is not covered because these medical procedures have still not be formally recognized as viable detection methods by standard medical practice. This unfortunate set of circumstances will turn people away. However, I would like to stress the peace of mind, the earlier detection period, the absence of physical trauma, the ease, convenience and rapidity of this exam makes the cost most worthwhile as an out-of-pocket cost.
Mammograms Linked To An Epidemic of Misdiagnosed Cancers | Here is an excerpt from the GreenMedInfo article that throws caution on the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer today.
- For most of the twentieth century, mastectomy was the first line treatment for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), and younger patients were more likely to undergo the procedure. Even after lumpectomy and radiotherapy were shown to be at least as effective for invasive cancer as mastectomy, still in 2002, 26% of DCIS patients were still receiving mastectomy.1
- http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/mammograms-linked-epidemic-misdiagnosed-cancers
- The most common scenario today following diagnosis of DCIS is for the oncologist to recommend lumpectomy, followed by radiation and hormone suppressive therapies such as Arimidex and Tamoxifen. The problem here is that women are not being educated about the nature of DCIS or the concept of "non-progressive" breast cancers. There is still the black and white perception out there that you either have cancer, or do not have cancer.
- In a poll on DCIS awareness published in 2000, 94% of women studied doubted even the possibility of non-progressive breast cancers.2 In other words, these women had no understanding of the nature of DCIS. And why would they? Major authorities frame DCIS as "pre-cancerous," implying its inevitable transformation into cancer. When the standard of care for DCIS is to suggest the same types of treatment used to treat invasive cancer, very few women are provided with the information needed to make an informed decision.
Can Mammography Increase Cancer Risk?
According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer 'is the most common cancer among women worldwide, claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands of women each year. Breast cancer reaches all countries, whether developed or developing in contemporary technology.
Mammograms Are Not A Form Of Cancer Prevention
Mammography actually increases the risk of breast cancer. In 2011, a study published in the British Medical Journal, confirmed that conventional breast cancer screenings may actually cause more harm than good – especially during the early years – because women are subjected to unnecessary interventions like lumpectomies and mastectomies.
In a 2009 Cochrane Database Systematic Review of breast cancer screening and mammography, the authors wrote: "Screening led to 30 percent overdiagnosis and overtreatment, or an absolute risk increase of 0.5 percent. This means that for every 2000 women screened for 10 years, one will have her life prolonged, and 10 healthy women who would not have been diagnosed if they had not been screened, will be treated unnecessarily." In addition, if you're a woman considering mammography, read what Dr. Samuel Epstein – one of the world's leading experts on cancer prevention – said: "The premenopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation, each 1 rad exposure increasing breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade's screening."
Scientific Research Implicates Mammography
Pub Med published a paper in 2006 entitled : Enhanced biological effectiveness of low energy X-rays and implications for the UK breast screening program. This abstract is open to the public to read. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16498030
Heyes GJ, Mill AJ, Charles MW. Source Department of Medical Physics, University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham B15 2TH, UK.
Radiobiological studies show evidence that low energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately 4 to 6 times more damaging than higher energy X-Rays to produce mutation.
The authors conclude the risks of radiation-induced breast cancers from mammography X-rays are underestimated by the same factor.
This does not bode well for larger breasted women and those with a family history of breast cancer.

Part of the recommendations are not only to reduce the mammogram but to eliminate the diagnostic instruction for self breast exam each month. Again, I understand that this procedure can cause anxiety. We know stress leads to disease. If every month a woman does an exam and is searching for some malignancy or defect, is it possible that will eventually manifest?
One aspect of reducing the time spent on educating the woman about this important self exam, since a majority of tumors are found in this way, is a time-cost ratio. Are the insurance agencies dictating to the physicians the time spent with their patients? I wonder.
My approach would be to definitely teach women of all ages manual breast lymphatic massage. This technique helps to move the fluid from the breast and does not allow stagnation. If you are familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine you would know that "stagnation" can also contribute to disease.
It is only after a women has a mastectomy or lumpectomy which may result in lymphedema does she learn about this healing technique. I also feel that self care through lymph drainage enables a woman to become very comfortable and familiar with her breasts so that she would notice any changes in any color, sensitivity, shape or hardness right away.
Dr Mercola has just opened a thermagraphy center because of his belief in the benefits of this type of diagnostic tool.
Breast Thermography Detects Cancer Early
Dr Gupta Reports on Lymphnodes
CNN (Health.com) -- Women with early stage breast cancer that has spread to their lymph nodes may require less extensive surgery than previously thought, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. For years, doctors have tested whether breast cancer has infiltrated a woman's lymph nodes by injecting a dye into the tumor and identifying the nodes where the dye appears. If these so-called sentinel nodes don't contain cancer cells, doctors assume that the lymph nodes farther away from the breast are cancer-free too. If, on the other hand, the sentinel nodes are found to contain cancer after being removed and dissected, a patient typically goes on to have most or all of the lymph nodes in her armpit area removed. That additional surgery appears to be unnecessary in some cases, the study suggests. Women in the study who had only their sentinel nodes removed had the same survival rate and were just as likely to be cancer-free at five years as women who underwent the second round of surgery.
Please think twice about having all lymph nodes removed. You may end up with Lymphedema your entire life. A debilitating disease of discomfort, swelling that may spread through your whole body.

Old Technology Used In A New Way
MailOnline | They call her "Maria"
Micrima, a UK company, designed radio wave technology that discerns changes in material density, typically used for detecting land mines on the earth, may portend a safer, less expensive, and better method for all ages.
- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2068870/The-second-scan-detect-breast-cancer.html
Safer than X-rays
Authorities rescinded the recommendation for young women to undergo mammograms because of the difficulty in reading scans of dense breast tissue. With this new technology, the digital geographical maps of the breast will more easily show any changes in tissue density. The sixty antennae within the cup help to detect accumulations of blood and water based on the concept that tumors form a network of blood vessels to feed its growth.
Projection For The Future
Technicians hope this technology will prove a better solution for all concerned. With the lower costs, less need for highly trained radiologists to read the scans, improved detection in all ages and tissue densities, they predict "Maria" to be instituted world-wide in just five years.

Is this a Political Issue?
Are Women the Guinea Pigs?

Confusion Abounds: Changing Our Belief System
Women versus Doctors versus Researchers versus Politicians
Dana Ullman has written a new article entitled Doctors Answer Mammogram Concerns
One of his comments to a reader states: Statistics suggest that for every woman between 40 and 50 who is found to have breast cancer, they have to screen almost 20,000 women...and the yearly exposure to radiation increases the number of cancers. Are we creating more cancers than we are preventing? Then, there are those women who are found to have an early stage of breast cancer and who are treated convention ally...but whose bodies may have healed the disease on their own...but now, their bodies are burdened with additional radiation and chemo.
As for prostate screening...you (mellowrant) obviously have not reviewed the literature which has been strongly critical of it in younger ages.

The Secret History of Mammography by Devra Davis, Ph.D.n at Huffington Post
We read what we already knew. Four decades ago cancer specialists realized that detection of a tumor occurs up to ten years or more after cancer growth had begun. Before an X-ray can detect that one-cell gone awry. In addition, annual radiation testing could itself carry the risk of cancer. Mammography for younger woman has the difficulty in detecting abnormality due the breast density. And, there is a political agenda attached to mammography, too. Devra points out the problems with standardization and testing of radiation equipment [see my article on radiation effects].
She mentions the increase in biopsies, re-testing when exploring for abnormalities. There is also the statistical risk that for each increased X-ray and biopsy there is increased chance of damage to tissue.

What I'm mostly surprised at is the obvious absence of any information about the Thermascan procedure which can detect cellular abnormality years ahead of a mammogram.
A thermascan is completely harmless. It does not crush the breast tissue. It only takes 15 minutes. After holding the hands in ice-water [that isn't fun] a digital photo is taken without touching the breasts at all. The images come up on the screen in living color like a topographical map detecting the areas of heat. The photos are analysed by a trained physician.
Also absent is the recommendations to take Vitamin D and sunshine and exercise. All three of these items have been shown to reduce the incidence of breast cancer.
Homeopathy is a holistic approach to healing. When a person chooses to take the advice of a homeopath, they will learn about improving their nutrition, using herbs, and having an in-depth interview to learn about their genetic predispositions, historical background, physical symptoms and emotional stability and outlook and whatever else is of concern to the individual.
An energetic matching remedy is selected to help the person's general constitution. This may be of significant support in general well-being in mind and spirit. Since everything from above comes below. If the spirit is lifted then so the body will also be vibrating in alignment and attunement disabling the ability of disorder and overgrowth of cells in the body.

The New Anti-Radiation Bra | Created by a surgeon who was beginning to see radiation effects!
Just like the dentist who gives X-rays day-in-and-day-out is in the vicinity of radiation exposure, even though behind a shielded wall. Radiation rays are emitted.
They are using this bra to shield the family from exposure when a woman is treated. No wonder the result of all my breast cancer radiation treatments were benign [thanks to G-d] tumors of my thyroid. So many woman now have abnormalities of their THYROID. Even when you go to the dentist you must specifically ask for a lead apron with a NECK SHIELD if you get bi-annual X-rays to check for cavitation.
The Cancer Bra keeps the radiation bouncing around within the woman's body and, I imagine, if they are not under-going treatment the purpose is to shield from outside sources of radiation coming into the breast tissue.
We Are The Guinea Pigs
And with this knowledge, what are the recommendations for annual mammograms? Where do we take it from here? Do we have answers? Who is right and who is wrong? It seems with all medicine and treatments the general population become the guinea pigs. Just one huge experiment and we find out the results many decades down the line.

RESEARCHERS DISCOVER | A growing body of research now indicts conventional cancer treatment with chemotherapy and radiation as a major contributing cause of cancer patient mortality. The primary reason for this is the fact that cancer stem cells, which are almost exclusively resistant to conventional treatment, are not being targeted, but to the contrary, are encouraged to thrive when exposed to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

I am also a breast cancer survivor and I totally agree with the studies that mammography causes cancer. Most Dr's recommend having a baseline mammogram between the ages of 35-40. I HAD large, dense breasts and always needed an ultrasound assist to confirm anything suspicious on the mammograms.
I was diagnosed with stage one, invasive, estrogen + breast cancer on November 22, 2011. I underwent a double mastectomy and had my ovaries and 6 lymph nodes removed on December 16, 2011. I was fortunate that my cancer was caught early. I did not need chemo or radiation, but I will be taking Arimidex for 5 years. I am a year and a half into that program now. One of my sentinel nodes tested positive and my Dr is concerned that one cancer cell may have gotten away even though my CT and Bone scans came out clean.
Thank you for providing an extremely important and informative article.
Hi, I was recently submitted to a chest CT scan and am only 25 years old. It was truly done unnecessarily and at the time I did not know much about them to say I didn't want the procedure. Now that I've researched it, I've become very scared of the possible effects this may have caused on my overall health. How dangerous are the effects of one CT Scan? Can I develop cancer because of this?
This is very thoughful of you Debby, thanks. I'll look into the info.
Debby, I found your article very well researched and full of useful information. After having been falsly diagnosed with breast cancer I've been going for an annual mammogram for the past 4 years. I have recently developed a thyroid problem and wonder if it might have anything to do with the mammograms. The thermoscan seems to be a far gentler and healthier approach. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about thermoscan in Nova Scotia. I have e-mailed the local breastscreening program with the question and hope that they will consider integrating theroscan to their current mammogram program. Even if I don't get any support I feel that if women are well informed and keep pushing we might be successful in the end. Thanks for helping to keep the public informed.
As a breast cancer survivor, having a mammogram is next on my list for health checkup this year. I avoid them and your hub reinforces my 'why'. I need to get my family to read this hub so they understand my reluctance to go in and get one done.
I am a mammographer. I am good at my job, but I am not mammography's best advocate.
I understand that you don't want to examine your breasts. So don't. Most women don't and this non-compliance is the reason the American Cancer Society and other's guidelines are slowly moving away from the recommendation. Bottom line: education money is better spent elsewhere.
I understand you want to be protected. Wear your leaded bra, although you can't wear it during the mammogram. Request the thyroid shield. We will give it to you. But please keep in mind that the shield may block the very breast tissue that may have cancer lurking inside you.
Regarding thermography. If you want to spend the money, go ahead. But if a tumor is seen in thermography...if it is big enough to produce enough heat to show a positive reading...then it is big enough to kill you. (1 cm in size) That picture up there of a positive thermogram is a breast COVERED in cancer. NOT a fair representation of it's desired message, I am sure.
I do agree with the writer's discussion about prevention. I think there is a whole chapter about nutrition research and advances in cancer prevention that has yet to be properly written. Again, it is a matter of non-compliance. How many women talk to me about her friend or sister or co worker who is/was fighting cancer, while drinking from a "supersize" soda cup, or swallowing that last bite of mass-produced "granola" bar with 23 ingredients that none of us can pronounce?
I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist when it comes to cancer societies and programs. How many people are out of a job when the true link, whether a simple nutrition matter or a microviral anomoly is found, making cancer research no longer needed? I think about this daily. I will keep a job xraying broken bones and kidney stones.
Again, I am not mammography's biggest fan. I am just really good at my job and when you do come in, I will do it with ALARA (at least radiation reasonably allowed) and with kindness and swiftness that you will barely recognize the total one minute of discomfort (15 seconds MAX compression per view @ 4 views).
Great article Debby. I will have to come back to view the videos. I'm beginning to find my "Fringe-mates" (those of us moving away from Western Medicine thinking.
Great advice. Thank you for sharing. The more knowledge we have on breast cancer and the treatments there are the better. Lovely hub
of course breast cancer is correlated with psychological aspects of the woman. For example, one who is too nurturing, who takes on everyone's problems is at a higher risk. Obviously, lifestyle changes would be appropriate for a woman who displays these characteristics. I believe breast feeding is also a good prevention
this is a touchy subject for me my mum died of breast cancer a few year ago she was high risk it was in our family my aunty died from breast cancer and my nah had it my mum had Mammograms all the time this time they found a lump but the so called doctors told her it was fine and not to worry about she went from doctor complaing about her lump in her breast until one my mum beg for help it was to late my mum died of breast cancer I wrote a hub about the saddest day of my life .My point is just because you have a Mammograms dosent mean you are safe Imk still very bitter about this and I guess I always will be .
Great hub my the way .
Great Debby, I am also preparing the Hub about the same topic, will be published int the following days, so I will link yours with mine.
Thermascan is certainly much better option, I also came to the same conclusion.
Thumbs up!

Great House Alarm Solution
The Vuezone system is one of the most popular home security system solutions available on the market today. It draws its popularity from the fact that it is very easy to setup and operate, and although not as reliable or advanced as the more expensive surveillance systems, it performs its function quite well. This system is especially perfect for the non computer savvy, who may find it a struggle to get an advanced surveillance system setup, usually requiring the assistance of professional home security companies to setup correctly. The Vuezone system, on the other hand, can be setup and working within 15 minutes, straight out of the box. It does not matter whether your package includes one indoor motion detector camera or several, setting it up will be easy. One negative aspect is that the cameras are not small enough to be able to hide them from prying eyes. On the other hand, it is often a good idea to place your cams in visible locations so that they can act as a deterrent to potential burglars or other threats to your property. Additionally, the cameras are well-designed and a pleasure to look at. The cameras are attached to small domes that come with the package. The domes and cameras use a patented magnetic system to allow for easy attachment. This however can be a problem because should someone bump into one it can easily be knocked off the dome. To avoid this, you can place the cameras behind windows – if you wish to be able to monitor the outside of your home – which prevents them from being tampered with. The quality of the cameras is good enough to be able to record clear images through windows or sunscreens. It would be perhaps a smart move for Vuezone to offer a package with a more sturdy placement system that would allow their cameras to be placed outside. One of the best features of the Vuezone surveillance system, is the ability to view your cameras live through your smartphone. Vuezone currently supports iPhone OS, Android and a few other popular smartphone operating systems. Naturally, you can also view the cameras through your computer and save any footage you like directly to your hard drive from Vuezone's servers. The videos are in an accessible format which allows for easy editing. This brings us to our next point, which is a minor criticism of the Vuezone system. The cameras upload their videos to your account on Vuezone's servers. You are able to view and monitor this footage directly from their servers - free of charge. However, if you want to download these videos to your own computer, you will have to pay a monthly subscription for this service. The service is rather cheap, but it is still unpleasant having to pay them for your own footage. This is something that the more advanced surveillance systems do better in, as once they are setup, you are in complete control over what gets recorded and what happens to this footage. Overall the Vuezone system is one of the best DIY home security system kits currently available on the market. If you are on a budget or your property is not particularly at a high risk of theft, then this is the perfect monitoring solution to invest in. With the ease of installation and its headache-free potential for expansion, this system is a prime choice for many homes.For extra guides on home security systems, check out: http://www.homesecuritysystems-reviews.com

Frequently Asked Questions:
Brides Preparations – YES or NO
The choice as to whether you have Bridal preparations photographed is as individual as you, please do not feel you have to have this intimate part of your wedding day photographed purely because you have read this as a must have on all the Bridal information you receive.
Firstly, it's about you; are you and the wedding party comfortable with having this very intimate part of your day photographed?
Brides can sometimes feel this is something they should have however Brides, close family and the wedding party may not wish to be photographed on the morning of the wedding. You and your Family may wish to begin the day quietly with just those you love around; we are extremely unobtrusive when working however this is something you may need to consider. This service is also Bridal Preparations and we stay with the Bride for this part of the preparations, this is very much where reportage photography comes into play.
Secondly; Location; you and I need to consider the location of your preparations; is this to be held at your home/parents' home or at the venue? I'm superb with my Art but please do consider the location is there room and natural light! My role within your day is to capture memories, fantastic images that you love my skill as a professional Photographer enables me to photograph in any location. I am a professional and I do require space in which to work because I want you and your guests to have space, to feel relaxed, enabling me to photograph the excitement and atmosphere; natural lighting, atmosphere enables me create these memories for you, photographs you will be thrilled with.
As your wedding photographer, I also have a caveat as to whether I record this; my sole intention is to provide you with outstanding award winning photographs, memories of your wedding however, firstly I need to also consider location.
1) how far from the Ceremony is your Bridal Preparations, I will not jeopardise missing, you, the Groom, groomsmen, Family and friends arrival at your ceremony due to circumstances such as traffic, parking etc
2) We always leave an hour prior to your ceremony to ensure we arrive well in advance, due to traffic and/or parking.
Therefore should you wish to have photographs of you having your wedding gown being laced, please ensure this begins in advance of us leaving for the your ceremony.
Many photographers add this service as an up-sell with regards to pricing; this can be hidden within the overall price. (We do not add any extra to costs within our service to photograph this part of your day)
NHS Staff concessions - Please note that Bridal Preparations is not included in the concessions collection service; should you wish to add Bridal preparation to your day, please let me know asap.
Formal Group Photo's
How many Group Photos should we have taken? This a popular question from couples; one of the most important aspects of your day are the memories you have recorded however I'm sure you have experienced weddings where the Photography has taken up more time than you and your guests enjoying the special moments with friends and family, this is why it is essential to balance the number of Group photos, I personally recommend a maximum of 5, then you and your guests can truly enjoy the celebrations, naturally if you have any impromptu shots through the day, let me know, it's never problem what so ever. However I always say, "you want to spend as much time with your family and friends as possible, should you wish to have just the two of you photographed we love to spend 20 mins with the two of you, away from your guests.
4K Wedding Video Service
Your wedding montage will be taken from various moments throughout your wedding, please do take a look at the montage added to the top of this page.
Venue scenes
Entrance of the Bride
The vows (On confirmation of the Priest/ Registras)
Your first kiss
The procession down the aisle
Footage of the Bride, Groom and guests after the ceremony.
Entrance to the wedding Breakfast
Grooms Speech
Cutting of the Cake
First dance (20:00pm - 21:00pm)
Your wedding montage will be edited beautiful, to include 5 of your memorable songs,music to enhance your wedding film. Your Wedding Film will be filmed in the latest 4k format, you will receive the completed montage on a beautiful USB drive and should you wish uploaded to Youtube channel for all your Family and friends to view. The length of your wedding video does somewhat depend on the length of the Groomsman speech however from experience 20 minutes - 45 minutes.
Are you Professional? Yes, I have been photographing weddings for over 30yrs, and I am very skilled and passionate with my work, I'm also a firm believer in the true meaning of the word Professional, photography is my profession, I do not photograph weddings on the weekend and then work elsewhere through the week, this is my profession 24/7
Do you take a Second Shooter along for the Wedding?
I felt the best way to explain this question would be for me to write a small article to provide my reasons for not emplying a second photographer for my wedding's I photograph.
You can read this information (HERE)
Are you insured? Yes, I am fully insured however I always suggest that clients take out a wedding insurance as this covers everything from any problems with a supplier, damage caused to the wedding attire or if you have to cancel due to accident, illness etc.
Should we visit the venue with you? If this is your desired wishes then naturally I will always try to meet Brides at the venue however, lighting, foliage can be completely different on your wedding day therefore I always arrive up to two hours prior to the ceremony, which gives me ample opportunity to view the location; I have recorded weddings in many diverse places over the years from Castles through to caves therefore my experience is one of the highest and you can rest assured that you're in safe hands.
Photographed anybody famous?
Yes, I have recorded many weddings with celebrities, from George Michael, Jenson Button, Billy Ocean, Connie Fisher, Paddy Brennan, Bewitched, 911, many West end stars.
Do you use Flash? Another popular question, I love working with natural light, keeping the true ambiance of the scene, over use of flash alters the look and feel of the image, if there are soft light's, candle lit rooms, then I love to capture this within the photograph where possible.
Do we need to meet with you? It's always a pleasure to meet with clients however this isn't necessary, weddings are very time consuming for the Bride and Groom, and therefore you can relax and leave everything to me with regards to recording you day also because of our documentary style we love to let the day unfold naturally.
Is weather a problem? Every Bride wants beautiful weather however this really isn't an issue, I have photographed weddings in Snow, Rain, Hale and thunderstorms, every situation adds to the occasion and quite often overcast days have the most incredible natural light.
How does it work if we decide to have a Wedding Album as part of our service? Your wedding Photos will be ready for you 2 weeks after your wedding; these we will be sent to you Special Delivery. Your personal Gallery will be uploaded for you to view/download two weeks after your wedding, from your very own Gallery page, you can design and order you beautiful bespoke album.
How long have you been photographing weddings? Over 25 years, I used to work freelance for many large corporate companies and have produced work for companies such as Disney and Sony however I only document weddings now as this has always been my passion.
How many images do we receive? We do not limit the amount of images you receive for your wedding. Many photography companies will offer a limit of 300/400 on disk, my style of photography is to ensure I capture the perfect shot therefore when you receive your photos, they are individual images and no limit is set, it could be anything from 700/1000 on USB
Can we choose our music? Absolutely, this is very important as it adds that special touch to your Wedding Video highlights.
Do you supply Albums? Yes, we supply coffee table and the beautiful leather bound stunning wedding album.
Do you supply Images or Footage as RAW? I have been a Photographer and cameraman for many years and I understand the Wedding Photography Art to a T, I shoot with top Pro cameras which are known to be the best cameras in the world, they produce incredible imagery, my service to you, is to provide you with outstanding and finished works, therefor I do not supply unedited or RAW images or footage.
When do we receive the USB with our photos? I make it my aim for you to receive your photographs on your return from honeymoon or two weeks after your wedding.
When do you arrive at the venue? Two hours before your ceremony if you are not having pre-prep, with pre-prep we arrive an hour before.
Is it you that documents wedding our day? Unlike many companies; you book me and I photograph your day for you.
Have you photographed weddings inside before? Many Brides ask this question and the answer is approximately 50% of a wedding is document are inside, the Ceremony, Speeches, cutting of the cake and your first dance.
Should we have a Receiving Line? a great tip to bear in mind is, try to keep the conversations with your guests as short as possible, if you have 80 guests and each guests chats for a minute the time runs away for you.
Images: Unlike many other companies, you receive all your images taken on your day, there is absolutely no limit on the photos taken, and there are no hidden costs.
Booking Fee: To secure your date, a booking fee of £100.00 is required; the full balance is due four weeks before your wedding

I've wanted to make homemade marshmallows ever since I went to New York City in October and had the most wonderful hot chocolate at City Bakery. It's not your usual hot chocolate, but instead melted chocolate with milk and has been rated the best hot chocolate in the country. For a little extra money you can have a homemade marshmallow on top of it too:
(Please note New Yorkers - City Bakery is having a hot chocolate festival in February and is doing a different flavor every day!)
The marshmallow in the hot chocolate was exceptional; my favorite thing to do was spoon the hot chocolate over the marshmallow and then work a little chunk of chocolatey marshmallow off for myself.
So when this month's Have the Cake challenge turned out to be marshmallows I was quite excited to participate. Last Thursday I went to the kitchen intending to make a marshmallows from a recipe I found on Smitten Kitchen only to find that I did not have any gelatin in the house. Disappointed, I hopped on the web to see if I could find any marshmallow recipes that did not have gelatin in them. Since vegans object to the content of gelatin I was able to find several recipes, one on a gluten-free cooking blog which substituted xanthan gum and cream of tartar for the gelatin.
I happily started in, despite having to convert the recipe from grams to cups, and it all looked good. The marshmallow formed into a nice fluffy ball in the mixer:
I poured the marshmallows into the pan, dusted them with powdered sugar, and popped them into the fridge, hopeful that they would turn out great. Instead, the next day I cut into a thin globby (definitely not fluffy!) mass unlike any commercial marshmallow; and not tasty at all.
Seeing them on the pretty pink plate Anna desperately wanted to try one, but this is the face that she made when she got a little bit of it in her mouth:
Today while we were stuck inside under a blizzard warning I had a chance to try again with the original Smitten Kitchen recipe for marshmallows. While the world outside was quickly covered in fluffy white stuff, I made my own fluffy white stuff in the kitchen:
Again, the marshmallows fluffed up nicely in the mixer and poured into the pan beautifully:
I dusted them with powdered sugar, put them in the fridge and waited 3 hours for the results. I cut into the marshmallows and was overjoyed to find a fluffy square quite comparable to the marshmallows we all know and love.
And fortunately the recipe makes plenty so I have lots to share with friends and family:
I think tonight we'll be making s'mores using the broiler with our homemade marshmallows while watching the snow fall!
