I've asked a few people and they reckon it's either HAARP or CERN that's creating these with the frequencies and ultra high energies that they work with also the microwaves and other high frequencies?
I must admit that they do seem to be good candidates for these atmospheric anomalies but I wonder if there's another more down to Earth explanation for this bizarre looking event? If you think you know then please let us know in the descriptions thank you? Here's what I had initially written about this video:
HAARP is really bad, it's a really bad thing to weaken our atmosphere with this epic machine and it's capabilities which all boils down to one thing, ENERGY! It depends on how much energy they use is what results they can achieve and it isn't good for our atmosphere at all, let alone the people's health?

The Readings List is useful if you know only the pronunciation of a word or kanji, and would like to determine how it is written. Since many words use the same pronunciation with various kanji, it would also help if you knew the basic meaning of the word you are researching.
By clicking on the L button (to the right of the Reading input box ) you can activate searching for kanji and jukugo by readings. If the readings database is already loaded into memory, the L button changes into a Scroll Down Arrow for viewing the list of readings.
It may take a minute (or more with slower computers) to fill the Readings List . For this reason, KanjiQuick will ask you to confirm your choice. You may choose not to be asked for confirmation in the future. Click Settings > Default Settings from the main program menu to reset confirmation requests.
If activated, the Reading input box will change into a list containing all on and kun readings from the database in alphabetical order. Simply scroll down the list, choose the appropriate reading and click Search . The list is long, with over 40,000 entries. It takes time to load into memory, which is why it is not activated by default.
Even after you have activated this feature, you may still manually enter searches in the Reading input box above the list (see search by reading). However, searching by inputting data into other boxes, such as Strokes or Radical , is disabled. Note that those input boxes each contain an "X" when disabled.
While the scrolling list is displayed, KanjiQuick will jump to the reading which first matches the characters you input as you type. You may also enter pattern matching characters, * or ?, for a broader search. No more than 1,000 kanji at a time will be displayed.
Switch OFF this option by clicking the Clear List > - (Minus Sign) button above the Readings input box . When the Readings List option is off, this button will not appear.

I want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to read my first chapter and give me such thoughtful feedback.
Of course I love to hear from those of you who enjoyed it and even said you would buy the book after reading the first chapter - that puts a huge smile on my face - but I was also really happy to hear about the sections that didn't work for you, for whatever reason. I've already gone back through the draft and made several revisions based on your feedback so thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm heading off to my first meeting with this writer's group that I found recently and I'll be reading this chapter aloud. I'm incredibly nervous - I HATE speaking in front of people - but I'm also looking forward to getting even more feedback so that I can further improve the story.
When chapter two is up to snuff I'll post it here so you can follow along and give me more of your thoughts.
I was doing a proofreading job for a client today so I was able to watch a lot of the Obama inauguration ceremony on and off. It was beautiful and moving and inspirational. His speech was one of the best pieces of writing I've heard in a long time. I love his verbs. However, as wonderful as watching the young Obama family take their new position at the helm, I thought the best part was when George Bush climbed onto that helicopter and took off. I waved "bye, bye" at the TV.

One of the many difficulties in learning a new language is the vocabulary — new words for things we already know. Another layer of difficulty is that often the new language uses different rules of grammar than those we are used to, even if we have never been able to master the old ones in the first place.
One more, nearly impenetrable barrier, is when the foreign language doesn't even use good old fashioned American style alphabet letters. A case in point is Chinese writing, based on Hanzi characters. These characters, which look to us like a child's scribbling, are densely packed with meaning. This pictographic writing, a combination of pictograms, ideograms, ideogrammatic compounds and phono-semantic compounds, is comprised of many thousands of characters. A single character can convey entire truckloads of meaning, like one of Scarlett Johansson's eyebrows.
Chinese dissident, artist and political prisoner Ai Weiwei recently unleashed a torrent of cryptographically sensitive information in a single, pithy broadcast.
Mr Ai, who is too critical of the Chinese Communist Party for his own good, had been in jail for months and then was released and placed under house arrest. Ostensibly he was arrested for "tax evasion," but everybody in the US, in Europe, in South America, Africa and Australia, and almost everyone else everywhere, knows that these were trumped up charges; his real offense is that he has been a loud and persistent critic of the Chinese government. While under house arrest, the two dozen Chinese police officers living with him make sure that he is always wearing his "Silent Silk Ribbon," which is several yards of duct tape over his mouth.
Mr Ai, who has art on exhibit all over the more civilized world, made a surprise virtual appearance today, and made his first Twitter tweet in some time. His tweet, in Chinese characters, was translated into English. On the surface, the 10-character English translation of his tweet ("What's up?") was perfectly innocent, but the original ideogrammatic tweet has Western intelligence agencies scrambling to decipher it.
Many clever Chinese dissidents using social media employ alternative words and phrases to get around the ubiquitous government censorship of terms deemed to be offensive or embarassing.
The Peoples Bullying Party has been on 'really high alert' — because they're really scared — after watching popular revolt in Egypt and other parts of Northern Africa. No shortage of resources has been spared in finding and apprehending anyone with the slightest link to anybody who has the slightest chance of stirring things up, from Shanghai to Xinjiang, from Beijing to Tibet. Even those who look cross-eyed at Chinese security personnel disappear.
Now, with riots in London dominating the news, top level members of the Central Committee are watching carefully, and looking for new ways to control the increasingly disgruntled populace. Distressingly high numbers of Chinese citizens are angry with the government's perceived cover-up of the high-speed train wreck near Wenzhou, which killed dozens and injured hundreds. The decision makers in Beijing are worried that the London violence will be the Molotov Cocktail thrown into the fireworks factory.
They're looking into the use of aluminum baseball bats. This is what Ai Weiwei was so cleverly hinting at, since the ideogrammatic symbol he used for his cryptic tweet can mean "what's up?" — a request for information — but can also convey "who's up?" — a clear reference to baseball and baseball bats.
Amazon.co.uk, the British branch of the huge American online retailer, has reported a 6000% increase in the sale of aluminum baseball bats, which are, so to speak, flying out the window. Some theorize that these bats are being sold to British shop-keepers who wish to protect themselves and their shops, or are perhaps being sold to the packs of sub-human young hooligans ("yobs" and "neds") who have shocked the UK with mindless destruction and opportunistic looting. This intrepid reporter, dear reader, has burned through several barrels of midnight oil doing journalistic sleuthing, and has found the truth.
It's really the Chinese who are buying up the bats. But why?
Deep cover informants reveal that a complex deal has been struck between Nintendo, Foxconn and the Peoples Propaganda and Benevolent Control Ministry, headed by the baijiu-loving bureaucrat, Fling Dhung. The Ministry intends to develop crowd-control hardware and software based on aluminum bats, and using Nintendo's Wii technology. Huge buildings that formerly housed ping-pong parlors have been turned into Wii-enabled training facilities, where thousands of police officers practice swatting dissident citizens shown on enormous high-def screens.
Already far advanced in the field of face-recognition technology, so tightly woven into the fabric of national security, the Chinese intend further to unite the "smart-bats" with Apple-designed hardware provided by Foxconn, the mega-manufacturer of iPhones and iPads. Every time a police officer swings an enhanced bat at an actual protester, cameras inside the bat will photograph the targeted victim, and software will identify him or her. Then, taking advantage of the Apple gyroscope and accelerometer, the bat will estimate the severity of the blow. Combining that data with real-time blood-spatter analysis, the bat will decide whether to inform the nearest jail, hospital or coroner.
To honor Chairman Mao, the smart-bats will be painted red, and will be known as "Little Red Bats." Looks like the Communist Party hopes to hit discord out of the park with this one.

The Feb. 26 R-C Storming Report
Genoa, Nev. — A winter weather advisory is in effect for all of Western Nevada beginning at 6 a.m. The storm is still pinned against the Sierra crest with the wind howling, so it's being shredded. National Weather Service forecasters expect areas south of Highway 50 to see the worst of the storm 1-7 p.m. today.
The weather gauge at Highway 395 and Genoa Lane recorded a 48 mph gust at 3:32 a.m. while Minden-Tahoe Airport recorded a 40 mph wind gust at 3:15 a.m. today.
There are chain controls on Mount Rose Highway and on most routes west of Lake Tahoe. The obligatory high wind warning is in effect on I-580 through Washoe Valley. Chains or snowtires are also being required over I-80, Highway 50 and Highway 88 over the Sierra.
There is a wreck and road hazard up in Truckee Meadows, but not much else. I expect that will change as the storm rolls in. Douglas schools are back in session today, so watch out for the buses, flashing lights, and most of all, students.
The Weather Service is all in on this snow forecast with a 100 percent chance. Expect today's high to hit a brisk 39 degrees with the wind out of the southwest at 10-20 mph, gusting to 35 mph. We could see 1-3 inches of snow, or nada.

The Guardian — Climate change already bringing disease, air pollution and heatwaves
The health of hundreds of millions of people around the world is already being damaged by climate change, a major report has revealed. Heatwaves are affecting many more vulnerable people and global warming is boosting the transmission of deadly diseases such as dengue fever, the world's most rapidly spreading disease. Air pollution from fossil fuel burning is also causing millions of early deaths each year, while damage to crops from extreme weather threatens hunger for millions of children.
CNN — Premiums for popular Obamacare plans to soar 37% for 2018
Premiums for the benchmark silver Obamacare plan will soar 37%, on average, for 2018, according to federal data released Monday. But in a strange twist, policies could actually become more affordable for many people buying on the exchange. That's because the price spike means many enrollees will receive more generous premium subsidies, so they can now afford gold policies with lower deductibles.
The Center for Public Integrity — 'The fear of dying' pervades Southern California's oil-polluted enclaves
Los Angeles' Wilmington neighborhood, a nine-square-mile enclave of Latino immigrants just inland from the ports, gets the worst of it. Its 54,000 residents, many seeking refuge from steep housing prices, breathe some of the foulest air and suffer some of the highest rates of asthma in California. The 92,000 people in neighboring Carson — like Wilmington, working-class and heavily minority – fare no better.

HKU POP SITE releases findings of the latest annual June Fourth surveyBack
|Press Release on May 31, 2005
The Public Opinion Programme (POP) at the University of Hong Kong today releases on schedule via the "HKU POP SITE" (http://hkupop.hku.hk) the findings of the latest annual June Fourth survey. As a general practice, all figures have been weighted according to the gender-age distribution of the Hong Kong population obtained from the Population Census, and are summarized as follows:
* "95% confidence level" means that if we were to repeat a certain survey 100 times, using the same questions each time but with different random samples, we would expect 95 times getting a figure within the error margins specified.
This year's survey findings revealed that 46% of the respondents believed that the Beijing students did the right thing in 1989, while 18% believed that they did the wrong thing. Meanwhile, with regard to the way the Chinese Government handled the matter at that time, 13% regarded it as correct and 62% regarded it as wrong.
The findings also showed that 56% of the respondents supported a reversion of the official stand on the incident while 21% did not. Regarding the human right condition in China, 79% of the respondents believed that China's human right condition has been improved since 1989, and 68% anticipated that China's human right condition will be improved after 3 years.
Moreover, 75% of the respondents believed that Hong Kong people had a responsibility to instigate the development of democracy in China, whereas on the economic aspect, 82% believed that Hong Kong people had such a responsibility. When comparing democracy and economic development, 43% of the respondents believed Hong Kong people should put more effort on instigating the economic development in China, while 24% of the respondents put more weight on the development of democracy. Furthermore, 46% believed that China should emphasize more on her economic development, while 26% believed that China should emphasize more on the development of democracy.
Finally, regarding the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movement in China ("the Alliance"), 19% of the respondents said the Alliance should be disbanded, 47% said no. The latest popularity rating of the Alliance in late May was 46.4 marks.
With regard to these results, Robert Ting-Yiu Chung, Director of Public Opinion Programme analyzed, "This is our 13th anniversary survey on June Fourth, people's opinion has become fairly settled in recent years. People are basically sympathetic to the Beijing students, and criticize the Central Government for making a wrong move in 1989. However, most people believe China's human right condition has improved, and will further improve. Most people take it to be Hong Kong people's responsibility to instigate economic and democratic development in China, although more opt for economic development, at a ratio of 82% to 75%. In recent years, more and more people are calling for a reversion of the official stand on the incident. It now stands at 56% which is a record high after the handover. People's support rating for the Alliance, however, has remained below 50 marks after 2000. All in all, it seems that the people of Hong Kong are wishing for a reversion of the official stand in order to take away the historical burden which stands between Hong Kong and Mainland China."
POP's normal practice is to release the results of our regular surveys every Tuesday at 2 pm via our POP Site, except during public holidays, each time with a forecast of the items to be released in the forthcoming week. We will review and adjust this operation regularly. Since a new series of survey on potential candidates for the coming Chief Executive election will be released for the first time on June 6, 2005, Monday, at 2 pm, our regular survey will be postponed to June 8, 2005, Wednesday, at 2 pm, when we will release the latest ratings of the most well-known political groups.
Shall anyone have any question regarding the research design of the surveys published in the POP Site, members of the POP Team will be happy to answer them, but we will not further comment on the findings. Shall any person or journalist have any other questions, please email them to us at <[email protected]>. The Director of Public Opinion Programme would answer them as soon as possible. We will keep such an arrangement under constant review, suggestions most welcome. Please note that everything carried in the POP Site does not represent the stand of the University of Hong Kong. Dr Robert Ting-Yiu Chung, Director of Public Opinion Programme, is responsible for everything posted herewith, except for column articles which represent the stand of their authors.

I was given a gorgeous book from my client by Michael Talbot, The Holographic Universe. And It's quite frankly blowing my mind. It's the theory of the holographic, actually holomovement universe. In it he explains the work of Bohm, a renown physicist and how he pushed the frontiers of Quantum Physics which Einstein referred to as the Black Magic of science (and as my son Red often says magic is merely science that has yet to be defined and explained-bravo son-makes total sense.) It explains the paranormal abilities of the mind, the riddles of the body/mind, and proof that the universe is a holograph in motion - a holomovement.
She was surprised I had never heard of it as in my book Four tenets of Love I put forth four tenets to living a life you love: let it flow, open up to infinite opportunities, view the world as a blank canvas (and more importantly as a mirror), and expand your awareness. I speak directly to the notion that the universe is interconnected and ever evolving and that we are one with the universe.
We are the universe.
We are interconnected and ever evolving.
We are not the sum of our parts.
We are whole. We are (w)holomovement.
We are not a leg, arm, eyes, and nose, we are an interconnected system that is ever evolving and interconnected. Blood is connected to lymph is connected to skeleton is connected to cells is connected to muscle is connected to memory is connected to DNA and is ever evolving. And just as we are whole, without being able to dissect and pull apart pieces without the wholeness following that part, the universe is whole and we are a non-separate part of that whole.
Michael Talbot says that, "In his general theory of relativity Einstein astounded the world when he said that space and time are not separate entities, but are smoothly linked and part of a larger whole he called the space-time continuum. Bohm takes this idea a giant step further. He says that everything in the universe is part of a continuum...Bohm cautions that this does not mean the universe is a giant undifferentiated mass. Things can be part of an undivided whole and still possess their own unique qualities. To illustrate what he means he points to the little eddies and whirlpools that often form in a river. At a glance such eddies appear to be separate things and possess many individual characteristics such as size, rate, and direction of rotation...careful scrutiny reveals that it is impossible to determine where any given whirlpool ends and the river begins...Constantly dividing various aspects of the holomovement into "things" is always an abstraction, a way of making those aspects stand out in our perception by our way of thinking."
We are one continuum. Time. Space. Movement. Perception.
Where one ends the other begins and at the subatomic level my arm and your arm and the chair have the same particles and are moving, enfolding and unfolding in a beautiful rhythmic symphony.
Like a whirlpool we fold over ourselves and others and pull others to us and repel others and are ever in motion down to the cellular level. Now what makes it shift and create blips in the ever forming ripples is our perception - our way of viewing what's in front of us, behind us, and projected into the future...time space continuum.
The story we remember is held in our cells and skews our perception of what's happening right now and begins to project a future - yet undetermined but morphing and forming based on our perception of what we think 'is.' This story is not real. It's a myth, a series of collected images, feeling, projections, and reinforcements. And yet as unreal as it is...it is held in our very DNA. And consciousness is within that DNA and affects all other subatomic particles as it is made up of one. So even if we are individual our subatomic parts are interconnected. (Put that in a pipe and smoke it...it's mind-bending and scary because if this is true we really are responsible for everything from the subatomic particles to DNA to society to the universe. No more I'm my genetics. Now its I unlocked my genetics. I unleashed the genie in the bottle. I created this!)
Talbot goes on to clarify Bohm's beliefs that "our almost universal tendency to fragment the world and ignore the dynamic interconnectedness of all things is responsible for many of our problems, not only in science but in our lives and our society as well...We believe we can extract the valuable parts of the earth without affecting the whole. We believe it is possible to treat parts of our body and not be concerned with the whole. We believe we can deal with various problems in our society, such as crime, poverty, and drug addiction, without addressing the problems in our society as a whole..."
We are a (w)holomovement. We are whole. We are one. And our consciousness affects everything at the subatomic level which affects the holomovement which affects us all.
So now what?
Understanding that at the subatomic level everything vibrates and that vibration resonates with like vibration, like attracts like, opens what I would liken to Pandora's Box of personal responsibility and societal expansion. As above so below rings at the most basic level of truth. The universal laws (Truths) need now be applied to our own personal lives. These universal truths are embodied us. And at the foundation, the notion that consciousness (subconsciousness, the 95% of the mind working in autopilot while the 5% ego mind runs the show) affects ALL subatomic particles in ALL the universe.
We create reality. We are a hologram held in suspense in a holomovement. We write the script, direct the play, hire the actors, and create the sets of our lives. You may say wait a second I did not create this disfunctional family, this cancer, this emotional trauma, this crime. Oh but you did and you do. We created this play even before we took our first breath. We decided what we wanted to discover, learn, work through, and we created the best scenario to do just that. And then once here we took inputs vibrations and resonated with certain frequencies and developed stories that became myths embedded in our very DNA.
The good news about responsibility is that we have choice and as we are a holomovement, ever-changing we can shift. We can enfold that which serves us and unfold out of that which doesn't. The cornerstones to wholeness in the (w)holomovement is held in the four 'M's: Mindfulness (the Awareness), Movement (the Process), Mindset (the Intention), Manifestation (the Practice). This is the MAGIC - the day-to-day minor course adjustments that create a frequency that resonates and then attracts a life you love.

Manifesto: top-notch pizza in Rathmines
Going to Italy for the first time can have two life-changing effects on you: firstly you wonder why you didn't come to Italy earlier in your life and swear over everything that there not one more year in your life will pass without a visit to Italy. Second, your taste for pizza will be irreversibly altered. Because of my Sicilian origins, I come from a family which believes that pizza should be made in a certain way - certainly nothing involving pineapple or any sort of minced meat - but eating it in its cradle was an unbelievable experience. Whether it was in Naples - where the pizza is a thick dough with the best tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil - or in Rome - where it is paper thin and offers a much wider variety of toppings, this is like nothing you have ever tasted before. In both cases, the pizza will cost you between 5 and 8 euros. I call that an incredible foodie experience.
So, as I mentioned, once you have been to Italy, your taste in pizza becomes much more refined. But it doesn't mean that you have to cancel pizza from your life. In recent weeks, I have been lucky enough to try the delicious pizza from The Big Blue Bus in the Bernard Shaw, which is very good value. This place was actually my favourite pizza place in Dublin until our recent dinner in Manifesto. We have been meaning to go to this place, which is basically across the road from our house, but for some reason never found the time/occasion to do so. And unfortunately, they don't offer takeaway.
I booked on a Friday night and we got seated right next to the wood fire oven. Just by looking at them, you can tell that their pizzas mean business. We had a quick look at the rest of the menu, but we were there for the pizza, so we both ordered one. I went for the Mamy, their signature pie which won them the Gold medal award for best pizza in the world in 2006. It's made of all the good stuff: tomato sauce, mozzarella, aubergines, parma ham, parmesan and fresh buffalo mozzarella. He went for the U2, a pizza divided into three tastes/colours reflecting the Irish flag. The green part had spinach and sausage, the white part was quattro formaggi and the red part had cherry tomatoes and mozzarella. This kind of gimmicky dish could turn out totally gross, but we love tasting different flavours so it sounded too intriguing not to try it.
And we were not disappointed. Both pizzas had this amazing puffy, crusty yet nicely chewy dough - like a Neapolitan pizza - and the ingredients used as topping were absolutely scrumptious. Even the U2 turned out beautifully, so well actually that we couldn't really decide which one was our favourite taste of the U2. But the Mamy still won.
These premium pizzas are more expensive than your average Dublin pizza, about 16 euros each, but undoubtedly worth the difference. And when you think about it, it's not much more than the hideous joke of a pizza they sell in Dominos.
Because this carb overload was missing a sweet ending, we went for dessert and ordered a chocolate souffle. Pretty good, but not up to the standard of the pizza unfortunately. It was slightly overcooked and was lacking the expected gooeyness. The espresso, as we hoped, was a really amazing ending to this overall stunning dinner.

" " Here we are doing one of our most favorite things.Ā It's an Ansel family tradition to cut our own Christmas tree every year.Ā This year we tried a new tree farm, as the prices at our old place were getting out of sight.Ā Our daughter Courtney and her two daughters Ava and Addisyn went along with us to cut a tree.Ā Daughter Tara her husband Glen, and their son Kyle came out also, but we missed them by about an hour.Ā Our Daughter Alena was with her husband Tony, and their three kids at our old tree farm buying their tree.Ā The plan was for all of us to meet at Matthis Evergreen Farm and let the kids see Santa, ride the ponies, drink hot chocolate and eat popcorn.
The day was perfect with a sunny sky and temperatures in the mid 40's.Ā Matthis has a gold mine, as their operation caters to the family.Ā The place was wall to wall people.Ā They have a barn with live Christmas music, food court, gift shop, pony rides, hay rides (pulled by two huge Belgians,) petting zoo, and 100's of acres of trees, and of course St. Nick!
We tied our trees to the top of Courtney's explorer, before we headed home, to hang some of our decorations.Ā I'll probably put the tree up tomorrow.Ā This is a very special time of year for us, and we thoroughly enjoy having our family around.

Mindfulness: Enjoying the Moment
By: Danielle Michaud, Project HEAL Social Media Intern
While in the depths of my eating disorder, I carried around tremendous shame about needing to eat. I would go to great lengths to prevent others seeing me eat the meager bits I permitted myself to have. The secrecy served as a protector against a sense of vulnerability, even though this is clearly an irrational thought as everyone needs to eat. I did not want someone else to bear witness to my incredible sense of discomfort and embarrassment.
Likewise, for years I lamented why food is such a central part of most holidays and celebrations. Why does there need to be such a heavy emphasis on what and how much we are eating? I honestly still have not reconciled an answer to that question, but I have grown to appreciate sharing meals with others, over lunches with friends and dinners with family. I still feel incredibly self-conscious, but I try to remember: eating together is not just about consuming food, but it is a unique time in which we can break free from the constraints of the commitments that comprise life in today's fast-paced, hectic world.
I have used my fair share of self-talk to contend with the anxiety that still drenches over me in these situations (and admittedly across the board). When I first started allowing myself to tackle a meal with someone else, I primarily used the setting as a distraction – laughter and conversation that deflected from the stress-inducing task at hand. I just needed a way to get the food down. Of course, I was incredibly grateful for the people who sat with me and helped prevent the onset of intense fear associated with the emotions that surfaced when I was faced with eating.
I have become more conscious of practicing mindfulness in everyday life and the ways it proves relevant in practically every aspect of life. Being more mindful helps me to fully experience the present moment (often difficult for me because my ever-present anxiety tends to either lead me to get too far ahead of myself, or to dwell on past events). Having moments of true presence is beautiful because I feel so much more aware and grounded. Thus, over the past several months, I have slowly come to appreciate sharing meals on another level.
Likewise, my younger sister and I tend to have conflicting schedules, but we found time to grab takeout together, enjoying an afternoon of laughter and conversation as we caught up on each other's lives that afternoon. Instead of frantically counting and recounting calories, or panicking over my rules that constitute patterns and compositions of "permitted" foods, I was able to acknowledge these thoughts. However, the difference this time was that I could gently bat away the intrusive thoughts away instead of letting them dictate the focus of my lunch date.

Wedding at the Bingham, Richmond, London
We were so excited when Gemma & Mark contacted us to photograph their wedding at the Bingham in Richmond, London. They were both guests at the wedding of their friends Jo & David in Greenwich the year before and had loved the way we worked. That meant so much to us! And the more we heard about their wedding plans, the more excited we got for their day!
Gemma & Mark met through mutual friends and were friends themselves for years before they got together on a holiday to Ibiza with all their friends back on 2007!
Mark proposed at a hotel in Mayfair. As Gemma recalls "Mark had booked a table for dinner at The Mandarin Oriental. We started to get ready when I received a phone call, it was Tesco trying to deliver my shopping which I had booked for the wrong day! Little did I know just before the phone rang Mark had the ring in his hand ready to get down on one knee so he quickly put the ring back in the safe until I had sorted out the Tesco fiasco! Once I got off the phone Mark called me over to look at a video his mum had sent of our children, Elliott and Eve. Mark played the video of the children asking "Mummy will you marry Daddy" Mark got down on one knee and presented me with the most beautiful ring!" How romantic!
Gemma got ready at the Richmond Hill Hotel with her seven bridesmaids, including our previous bride Jo! There was lots of laughter as they were getting ready. Then Gemma's children Elliot & Eve joined them. A black London taxi arrived and the bride was on her way to the Bingham.
Mark was waiting at the venue with his best men, the sun was shining and everyone was in high spirits. Mark had to hold back the tears as his children made heir way down the aisle ahead of his beautiful bride. It was a wonderful ceremony, it was so elegant, with white and green flowers everywhere, supplied by our very first bride, Nicola! The newlyweds made their way back down the aisle with all their guests congratulating them with confetti.
The Bingham is set on the banks of the river Thames, and we used this as a backdrop for their stunning photos. Gemma & Mark did not stop chatting and laughing, you could tell these two were made for each other.
Back at the Bingham, the speeches were made, there was a few hilarious jokes, even we found ourselves laughing out loud at times! There was also a lot of emotion, Mark gave a really heartfelt speech, it was obvious his family mean the world to him.
After a superb meal, everyone headed outside for the cake cutting. Then it was time to hit the dance floor. The band the couple booked meant a lot to them, they even set their wedding date around the band! Needless to say, after the first dance, everyone hit the dance floor, these lot know how to party!! We left them to enjoy the night, what a fantastic day.

Nations have constructed and expressed their identities through public art throughout human history. Generally this process is a gradual and organic one, not a quick and deliberate flurry of activity. Not so in Skopje, Macedonia, one of the world's newest capital cities, with one of the strangest assemblages of public architecture and statuary I have ever seen.
Skopje is the largest city in Macedonia, a nation formed in 1991 after the breakup of Yugoslavia. While the country itself may be young, its history of human habitation runs deep; there is evidence of settlement beginning in 4000 BCE. The Romans took over the area in the 1st century CE, beginning a long sequence of empirical governance of Macedonia. At various points it was a part of the Byzantine, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Ottoman Empires. Skopje sits at the confluence of several rivers, including one that runs from Belgrade to Athens, so its strategic position made it a consistently dense population center. Currently, Skopje is home to close to a million people of a variety of ethnicities, including Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, and Romani (formerly called "gypsies.")
A devastating earthquake struck the city of Skopje in 1963, destroying 80% of the buildings in the city. Reconstruction was hasty, and it resulted in a lot of gray, modern structures. In 2010, the city's leaders decided to give Skopje a facelift, and they launched the "Skopje 2014" initiative. Ostensibly a beautification project designed to make the city more aesthetically appealing and attractive to tourists, Skopje 2014 was –and is—also an attempt to define the young country's identity.
Somewhere between 300 and 500 million Euros have been spent on the construction of buildings and fountains, the creation and erection of statues, and the remodeling of building facades as part of this project – sixty features in all. Authorities seem to be little evasive about the exact amount of the total bill, in part because of the controversy that has arisen around an expenditure of this magnitude in a country where unemployment runs about 30% and a significant portion of the population is living in poverty.
The results of Skopje 2014 are truly unbelievable. I walked around Skopje with my mouth agape. I tend to agree with the critics who accuse Skopje of being the "kitsch capital of the world" or a "Disneyland- style theme park"– I found most of the improvements to be downright garish. That said, I could not help but admire the scope of the project. It was so tacky it was almost cool – like Las Vegas. Nearly everything was done in a Neoclassical style, leading me to wonder if Athens had this same shiny glare back in its heyday that Skopje has now. After all, the central square is made of marble, and bronze statuary and Corinthian columns abound.
The controversy does not revolve only around the aesthetic of the work, however; it extends to the message behind it. Through these Neoclassical public monuments, Skopje and Macedonia are positioning themselves as the descendants of the ancient Macedonian civilization, one with Hellenic (Greek) roots. For better or worse, Macedonia's background is more complex than that; between the Greek Empire and the present day, the nation experienced two millennia of occupation by various Slavic populations. Omission of this heritage has managed to offend nearly every minority in the country as well as many ethnic Macedonians.
The flashpoint piece of Skopje 2014 is a twenty-two meter high statue entitled "Warrior on a Horse." Its official name was chosen in an attempt to circumvent the controversy which it has, nevertheless, created. Name aside, the statue is believed to portray the Greek hero Alexander the Great. Macedonia appears to be claiming him as their own, along with his father, Philip II, by prominently situating gigantic statues of them in Skopje's central square. The statue is the most prominent feature in the central plaza, and it instantly reminded me of the enormous statue of Ghengis Khan I saw years ago in downtown Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia. Both monoliths serve the same function; they attempt to legitimize a struggling modern state in the foundation of an illustrious – but very distant – past one.
In Skopje's case however, claiming direct descendance from Alexander and the classical Hellenic culture of his times is not completely justified. For many people, this calls the whole Skopje 2014 project into question. The fact that the project does not represent the nations Slavic ancestry, not to mention its Albanian, Roma, or Bosniak roots, has further alienated a lot of citizens.
On the other hand, tourism numbers in Macedonia have increased significantly. Whether visitors think the additions to the city are tacky or wonderful is immaterial; they are coming to Skopje and spending money there, and there is a lot to be said for that. During my recent time in Europe, the BBC aired numerous glitzy television commercials with the theme "Invest in Macedonia." Clearly, the country is pushing foreign investment, perhaps seeing it as their quickest and easiest way up and out of their current economic situation.
I love public art, in almost any form, but I found myself a little turned off by this project. I kept returning to the idea that 300 million Euros could have funded an awful lot of programs to improve the health, education, and standard of living of the Macedonian people.
In the process of exploring Skopje, I realized that my love of public art is contingent upon its intentions and origins. I am fascinated and tickled by art that comes "from the ground up" – spontaneous expressions, or even publicly funded individual or collective projects, whose concepts and executions come from the heart. I'm less fond of government-sanctioned art whose objective is to create – or, even worse, rewrite – a narrative of a culture. Art can be used for so many purposes: to delight, to educate, to provoke, and yes, to manipulate. For me, Skopje 2014 had a little too much of the final flavor for my tastes – even though I giggled my way around town taking it all in.
If you're interested in reading more about this project and the controversy surrounding it, here are two great resources I came across:
A CNN video entitled "Is Macedonia's capital being turned into a theme park?"
An ezine article entitled "Skopje 2014: Tragedy or Farce?"
