Thank you for being so easy to talk to, for being so professional, so energetic and so flexible. The photos you took of our wedding are beautiful. You made us feel so comfortable. If you need any recommendations please let us know.
Married: 10 years ago
Liz & Colin
Thank you for your professionalism, your energy, and your relaxed attitude. You were such a pleasure to work with! I absolutely knew from the start that we were in very good hands! You took the time to get to know us, find out what we were looking for, and then took us through your plan/vision for our day. Simple as that! You were so easy to communicate with, and open to our ideas, and very capable. Thank you for doing the group shot of all of our guests in front of the barn. I couldn't believe it when you climbed up your ladder! The photos you took of us on our wedding day are absolutely gorgeous. You were able to capture all of the subtle moments of our wedding that I would have never seen. I've looked at many wedding photos of friends and have never seen any that capture all of the little moments that make up what a wedding is truly about. All of our friends and family were blown away by our photos and we couldn't be happier with them! Thank you Diane.
Married: 10 years ago
Mika & Nick
You were an absolute breath of fresh air!! Amidst all the vendors we were trying to coordinate with, our meeting with you was a pleasure and kick started our wedding excitement. It was great to work with someone so organized, who asked all the right questions yet was completely relaxed. Because we live in New York City I was so afraid communication would be difficult. But you made it so easy - answering our every email. Nothing was lost in translation! I am glad we went with your suggestion of a combination of candids and formals. Our photographs are stunning and the formals are a big hit with the family just like you said they would be! I wish we could have flown you out to India with us to photograph our ceremony in Mumbai!! Most importantly we danced the night away, we have pictures that make us look like we were in a beautiful movie and we never even realized we were being photographed. Thank you so much Diane.
Married: 10 years ago
Kerry & Rich
You were a wonderful photographer, and we could not have asked for anyone better to have documented our wedding. You have an infectious energy about you which you bring to your work. You went out of your way to take the time to get to know us so that you could tailor your work to our personalities and needs. Thank you for being so very easy to communicate with. You really listened to our responses, and worked with us to provide excellent photographs of our wedding combining our desires with your experience, imagination, and more than considerable skill. You never grew tired of answering our questions which was great. You worked tirelessly on our wedding day to get every shot we wanted and many we had realized we should have wanted. We have a tremendous amount of fantastic pictures! Thank you for being so flexible and responsive. We got both journalistic and traditional shots which we wanted. The quality and craft of your work are exceptional. I enjoyed working with you and have recommended you highly to friends who are getting married. Thank you!
Married: 10 years ago
Gretchen & Kevin
You were a joy to work with at our wedding! Your pictures are incredible! We couldn't have asked for more beautiful, expressive, intimate and artistic photographs to remember our special day by! Thank you for being super flexible too, incorporating a wide variety of shots, ranging from portraits and group/family photos to spontaneous ones where we didn't even know you were taking the picture! You do a really great job of being subtle and unobtrusive while photographing. You are thorough and professional, but totally sweet, creative and, to be honest, really fun to have at the wedding! I have been recommending you to anyone who is engaged and looking for a photographer with a personality and artistic flair!
Married: 10 years ago
Jess & Andrew
You were such a find! I was so nervous as I planned my New York wedding from Indiana where my husband and I currently live. You were so wonderful in the way you kept communication with us by email and telephone. Thank you for understanding exactly what we wanted. You just got our theme and style from the very beginning. Thank you for being so excited by my idea of taking photographs at a local carousel. I knew at the time your were taking some amazing shots, but when we received the DVD of all of our photographs we were blown away! The results far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Diane.

October saw the lowest monthly volume of real-estate sales in Aspen since December 2004 and sales this year through October are down 47 percent compared to 2007
By Brent Gardner-Smith, Nov 21, 2008, Aspen Daily News
"It is slow," said Ryan Anslyn, a broker with Land + Shelter Real Estate and a director at the Aspen Board of Realtors. "People are just really skittish about doing anything, even people not necessarily affected by the stock market."
In October, all property transactions in Pitkin County added up to $86.5 million.
Sales in September were $100 million and sales in August were $160 million, which was the high water mark for the year.
The sales figures are collected and distributed by Land Title Guarantee Company of Aspen.
October may well mark the end of this decade's remarkable real-estate bull market in Aspen. Monthly sales took off in August 2003 and hit $102 million, the first time that year that monthly sales climbed over the $100 million mark. Since then, there have been only four months, if October is included, when monthly sales volume dropped below $100 million.
In fact, since August 2003 there have been 17 months when sales added up to over $200 million and there have been three months when sales were over $300 million.
Real estate transactions so far this year in Aspen through October add up to $1.2 billion.
Last year ended with $2.2 billion in sales, while 2006 saw $2.1 billion, 2005 saw $1.9 billion and 2004 saw $1.4 billion.
Back in 2003, annual real-estate sales amounted to $897 million.
The number of transactions this year, at 714, is down 37 percent against 2007, when there were 1,140 units sold.
The real-estate sales figures do not include about $450 million worth of fractional units put under contract in Aspen and Snowmass over the past several years, as those sales will not be finalized until the projects are completed.

Five years on from the widely acclaimed first edition, the guide has been fully revised and updated to 2003 and now includes more than 3000 shows – sitcom, stand-up, sketch, serial, satire, impressionism, monologue, animation and more.
Exceeding a million words over 960 pages, the book details every comedy programme shown by British TV channels from 1936 to the present day – all of those produced in Britain plus some 350 shows imported from America and elsewhere, everything from five-minute shorts in the 1930s to long-running series attracting headlines in the new millennium. Every show has its own entry, beginning with essential facts (cast list, key production credits, broadcast dates/days/times, etc) and concluding with an informative synopsis as well as an entertaining and often lively critique. There is also a raft of invaluable lists and appendices, multiple indexes, and – new to this edition – more than 80 rare comedy photographs from the Radio Times archive.
Paul Merton described the first edition as 'thorough, opinionated and meticulously researched' and Ronnie Barker said it was 'wonderful and monumental'. Victoria Wood has contributed the foreword to the new edition.
Written with style, authority, wit and flair, the product of ten years' work, Radio Times Guide to TV Comedy (the only all-inclusive encyclopedia of any British television genre) makes the perfect gift and is an absorbing read for television viewers of all ages.

By Chef -IAMSANTOS-
She used to be the sweetest girl. Our little Abbie. When my wife got pregnant I did the chauvinistic thing and bragged to my friends I was having a son. He was going to be a pro football player, or baseball. No, he was going to be an astronaut or a cowboy or a space cowboy! Unfortunately Maurice was never born, instead we got Abigail. Our sweet little girl. At that moment all my chauvinism went away, and I wanted nothing more than to spoil my little angel. I didn't care about anything else but her happiness. Whether she was famous or rich, it didn't matter. She was my little girl and I was going to take care of her.
As you can imagine, Abbie grew up spoiled. Anything she wanted, she got. For the first ten years of her life she was the happiest little girl in the world. I quit my job and became a stay at home dad. I got to spend all day with her, it was everything I could ever want. We did everything together. We had breakfast together, bathed together and did errands together. There wasn't a moment in our day we weren't together. My wife didn't mind, she had made her success as a lawyer years ago. Sometimes I think she was more excited about the idea than I was. Her firm needed her and she was able to be there without feeling guilty. By the end of it, she was sure it was her idea to begin with! I didn't mind her taking the credit though, it made it easier to get what I wanted when she thought she was in charge, and if things went bad she'd be the one feeling guilty. Continue reading "15 years ago my daughter was kidnapped and murdered. Today, she called me."

Musing, as usual, on Boston's neighborhood makeup, I thought of the 1962 classic film "King Kong vs. Godzilla." Where am I going to go with this? I'm still not quite certain but I'm sure we'll find out, also as usual, by essay's end.
In a city of neighborhoods, Dorchester is obviously the 800 lb. gorilla in the metropolis, covering the most area and holding the most population. It is no eighth wonder of the Hub of the Universe, however. It is jumbled together in a weak rogues' gallery of complacent characters.
I've been to West Roxbury twice in almost two years, both of times fairly recently. West Roxbury is one of Boston's neighborhoods but few people think of it when they think of BOSTONIA, condita A.D. 1630. Dorchester falls into the same league though it is a very different kind of place. I've been to Hyde Park more often, and I know it's part of Boston too, a little farther removed and nothing like downtown. The only commuter rail line that runs entirely within city limits serves Hyde Park and points in between it and South Station.
Roxbury itself (not West Roxbury, which is to the south) is certainly urban and has been connected to downtown Boston for centuries through commerce and Washington Street. It has been connected municipally for over a hundred years, but few people think of Roxbury as Boston either. Even mailmen deliver envelopes addressed to Roxbury 02119, not Boston. South Boston gets to be called part of Boston, the part furthest to the east, and East Boston is also a part of Boston, the part furthest to the north.
There is no Kong in Boston, but there is a Godzilla. Just as metro Boston dominates the Commonwealth's business, the image of Boston proper, downtown and its edges, dominates the fringe neighborhoods that also belong to the entire civic body. Allston and Brighton and Charlestown are all parts of Boston. The mayor, who is quite savvy, is well aware that the neglected border frontiers of the city vote for him, but others take a myopic view of what Boston is. It is a city of many parts, all of them Bostonian even if they are not fashionable.
In the movie "King Kong vs. Godzilla" the giant ape is smarter and more human than the atomic-powered dinosaur. Kong taunts Godzilla during the fight scenes and makes rude gestures. This looks familiar as Godzilla just lumbers along, trampling whatever is in his path, be it vital or defunct. Boston is an old city. Though full of tree-lined, walkable streets, it is powered by an energy that cannot be described by commonly understood physics. It is that spark, like a hydrogen bomb dropped on an iceberg, that keeps one part of the city dominating the other parts. Like nuclear fission, it is the product of many smart brains. Like the Cold War it produces a stalemate affair that occupies a lot of attention when all involved could be working together for mutual betterment rather than struggling to keep up at cross purposes.
A city is made up of many neighborhoods and many component parts and constituencies. When one gets the upper hand, through an accident of history or by design, the status quo lives on past its useful shelf life. What is Boston? It is Dorchester and West Roxbury and Hyde Park and Roxbury and Charlestown and Allston and Brighton, as much as it is the Back Bay and South Bay and South Boston and the Fort Point Channel and the North End and what remains of the West End and East Boston. What does Boston have in common besides the Common? A lot, but most of that is swept under the rug, lost in the tug and the bombast of gorilla versus dinosaur.
So does Kong beat Godzilla or does Godzilla beat Kong? I don't want to ruin the ending for anyone who hasn't seen the film yet. Let us just say that Castle Island is no Skull Island and leave it at that. If you are interested.....

I just found out that Larry "Bud" Melman passed away yesterday. I have been talking about him for a month or so in our office because I thought he would've made a cool collectable toy/figure.
I loved the bits Letterman would do with LBM at NBC and always thought it was a shame that he wasn't allowed to keep his stage name when Dave moved to CBS.

On the island of Vlieland a new neighbourhood will be built focusing on health care and public facilities. This new neighbourhood forms a central anchor point within the only village on the island and its community. The basic structure for the design is determined by reconnecting the building plot to its surroundings. At the northern side the new building forms an infill development at the existing street, while at the southern side a public green square is introduced to connect the building plot with the heart of the village. In addition to this a public pedestrian route is introduced through the heart of the building plot to emphasise the public character of the space. The building plot is situated on the old dunes of the islands and therefore has an interesting topography. These height differences are used to determine different zones within the plan. By using the dune morphology cleverly distinction can be made between public and private spaces. In this the central green square forms an important central point.
Within the new neighbourhood different houses are implemented with clear front and back sides. This ensures an attractive view on the surrounding landscape. Both on the front side and back side of each house it is possible to create a private outdoor space integrated in the architecture of the building. The smallest house type has a width of 6 metres with the option to implement one or two bedrooms. If one prefers just one bedroom the opportunity arises to create a living room with a full width of 6 metres. Each house can be expanded with grid sizes of 1.2 metres. This provides flexibility and the opportunity to offer different types of houses within each building blocks.
In future it is even possible to connect individual houses, both horizontally and vertically. This creates opportunities for health care at home and makes it possible for people to stay in their house even if they need health care on a daily basis.
Next to offering different types of houses several public facilities are integrated in the plan. This includes a community centre, restaurant, and spaces for physiotherapists, a hairdresser or GP. These facilities are located at the new central green square, in the heart of the village.
Year: 2018
Type: architecture, landscape, public space
Client: municipality of Vlieland
Size: 44 houses and public facilities

Moeller vs. Saint Xavier: The Preview
A big game will go down tonight at Brother Thomas More Stadium. It is St. X against Moeller. It is Partiotic Night. Moeller is one of the most established programs in Ohio, and they are coming off of an OHSAA Division I State Championship last season. It will be a great game. Other than the Trinity game, don't expect to be a part of a better atmosphere than the one you will experience at Brother Thomas More Stadium this evening.
The 3-1 Tigers will take on the 3-0 Crusaders at 7:30 p.m. here on our own campus. Both teams won easily last week with St. X defeating Fairdale 41-12 and Moeller cruising by Xenia 55-7. Both teams will want to extend their win streak and neither will go down easily.
Last year, Moeller defeated St. X 24-12 in Cincinnati. Charles Walker had a massive game and helped keep the Tigers in the game, as he had 250 yards and a touchdown on the ground while averaging 8.3 yards per carry. The Moeller pass defense limited former quarterback B.J. Nagle to only 45 yards through the air. They defeated us last year on their home turf, so it is our time to return the favor.
A very interesting match up to watch will be the Moeller offense versurs the Tiger defense. The Moeller offense has put up major points this season already, as they average 38.3 points per game through 3 games. On the other side, the Tigers have limited their opponents to only 7.75 points per game through 3 and a half games. It will be interesting to see who wins out in this battle, as the winner will most likely lead their team to victory.
Like in the Bowling Green game, St. X's sceondary will have to step up. Seniors Davey Sermersheim, Jackie Arnold, Tyler Boarman, and Brandon Blaser will have to be a the top of their game in order for the Tigers to defend a very strong Moeller offense. Chris Beets, Ian Kania, Logan Butler and Brandon Blaser all had interceptions last week, and if they could pull down one or two tonight, it would certainly help the Tigers try and pull of the victory.
On offense, Noah Houk, Taijon Smith, Jaylon Hibbs and Colin O'Daniel will lead the charge for the Tigers. Moeller's defense is very tough, but they haven't seen the speed of Smith, Hibbs and O'Daniel yet. All three have the ability to turn a play into a touchdown, and it will be exciting to watch them work against an elite defense.
Tonight at Brother Thomas Moore Stadium will be one of the best atmospheres this year. Moeller has defeated us four times in a row, but that ends tonight. It's Patriotic Night, and if you aren't there, then you better figure out why you aren't. This will be the craziest the Rage Cage will be all year at home. If you have never been to a football game, and I don't know why you haven't yet, this is the game to go to. Two teams will give it their all trying to find a victory, so go and support your Tigers on the way to a thrilling victory.
Here's hoping the Tigers can pull of the huge victory and end the losing streak against Moeller. As always, Go Tigers! We Are!

Pyroelectric detectors are susceptible to line interference and other sources of electromagnetic interference from non-detector related noise. Several manufacturers of OEM sensor devices use EMI filters to prevent these noise sources interfering with the operation of the device but for many gas detection applications a higher level of noise immunity is required.
LASER COMPONENTS has developed a new pyroelectric detector using a differential mode of operation ensuring that external pick up is eliminated greatly improving the electromagnetic immunity of the device. Pyroelectric crystals generate positive and negative charges on opposite faces of the crystal and using appropriate amplifi cation can generate a differential signal.
Differential operation results in a significant increase of the signal to noise ratio, this is because the output signal is doubled with this configuration while the noise only grows as the square root, the improvement in signal to noise is approximately 1.41 over a standard single ended pyroelectric detector.
The R&D team at LASER COMPONENTS designed our LD2100 with its use in electrically noisy environments in mind. These devices are used in NDIR and FTIR spectroscopy as well as flame and fire detection. The devices are inexpensive, robust and highly sensitive in the IR region of the spectrum.

Sick of Wondering if a Remote Computer is done Rebooting? PowerShell can help!
Unfortunately in Windows, we often need to reboot for various reasons, whether that be installing patches, software etc. When we do this remotely, it is a waiting and guessing game to know when your machine(s) are up back up. Fortunately, if you use PowerShell for rebooting, we can know for sure with Restart-Computer.
In this example, I want to reboot the computer "testmachine1". In the Restart-Computer command, I use the -For parameter to indicate that I want powershell to be available remotely via WMI before returning to my prompt. I specify -timeout and -wait to wait 10 minutes for the machine to reboot and be ready again. I also use -Force to reboot even if another user is logged on.

Scuffle ensued as BJD takes out rally to counter BJP's Bhubaneswar bandh
Bhubaneswar: Scuffles were ensued between the activists of Biju Chhatra Janata Dal (BCJD) and BJP at Ram Mandir square and again at Master Canteen here as two parties hit the streets to oppose each other today.
Police commissioner YB Khurania and DCP Satyabrat Bhoi rushed to the spot and intervened into the matter.
As per its earlier announcement, the BJP today observed a 12-hor bandh in the Capital city demanding arrest and resignation of BMC Mayor Anant Narayan Jena over his alleged links with engineering student Rishi's death while activists of the students wing of the regional party took out a bike rally from Vani Vihar to Master Canteen square to counter the saffron party's move.
"We opposed the bandh and appealed to the people to keep open their shops and other private organisations. At a time when people are facing problems due to demonetisation, call for a bandh is irresponsible", BCJD's Chinmaya Sahoo said.
"The commissioner has already expreesed the commitment to bring the truth to fore on Mayor's issue. Still, BJP observed a day-long bandh leading to much inconvenience to common man", Sahoo added.
The BJP workers started picketing at many places and blocked roads making inconvenience for the commuters. The sloganeering BJP workers burnt tyres at Khandagiri, Baramunda and Nalco square and way laid the bikers and other commuters waiving their flags.
The saffron party activists were taken into preventive custody while trying to vandalise city buses at Station square. Similarly, 20 such protesters were lifted by police at Fire Station road for allegedly resorting to violence during bandh.
BJP alleged cops are protecting the BJD workers, who have attacked the BJP men. "Under protection of police, BJD activists have thrashed the BJP workers observing bandh peacefully. The BJD workers have also resorted to blank firing at Ram Mandir square. We had called for a peaceful bandh. Who allowed the BJD activists to take out rally against our bandh? We seek reply from the chief minister", BJP general secretary Bhrugu Buxipatra said.
He also warned the chief minister against visit to districts. "We will see how the CM would visit various districts to attend his party programme", he added.
Reacting on the development, Sashi Bhusan Behera, BJD spokesperson, said, "No rally has been done by BJD. From the videos aired on OTV, I found the youth-wing of BJD has not supported the bandh called by the saffron party. The bandh has no impact on the common man."
YB Khurania, police commissioner, said, "Violence has been reported at two-three places in the town. The places where vandalism had taken place are under the scanner of CCTVs. We have preserved the CCTV footages and cases will be registered against the persons who will be found damaging public properties."
Meanwhile, BJP has announced to gherao Police DG office tomorrow protesting attack on supporters during today's Bhubaneswar bandh.

ALICE COOPER ANNOUNCES NEW TOUR with The Mission and The Tubes
With Alice having just ended his more than 90 show 2016 tour with a final night at the legendary Pantages Theatre in Hollywood – joined for a celebratory by rocker Butch Walker and fellow Hollywood Vampire Johnny Depp, new dates have now been announced for Alice's UK tour for 2017.
For the tour, Alice is bringing 2 bands with him to reflect two of his best sides – outrageous theatrical controversy and the darker, gothic rock that Alice influenced.
The Mission were formed by two members of Sisters Of Mercy in 1986, Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams. Songs like Wasteland, Tower Of Strength and Deliverance became classics of the 1980's goth rock scene and beyond. The band were heroes of alt rock, headlining Reading Festival twice and, on one tour, selling out 7 consecutive nights at London's legendary Astoria Theatre.
"I remember during the summer of 1972 being on scout camp and hearing this new song on the radio that absolutely mesmerised me. School's Out by Alice Cooper. Loved it, still do," said The Mission's Wayne Hussey. "Fast forward to 1987 and our first headline spot on the Friday night at Reading Festival. Headlining the Sunday was Alice Cooper. And now we've been invited by Alice to join him on his UK tour next November."
The Tubes come from the same art school, shock rock background as Alice Cooper and, originally, the same city (and actually the same schools) – being formed by Phoenix, Arizona natives and appalling some of the same UK cities in the 1970s.
They made their name in psychedelic San Francisco however, honing their satirical act, concept albums and ambitious stage shows that showed an Alice level preference for self made props and costumes. Frontman Fee Waybill's characters – like addled British glam rocker Quay Lewd caused outrage in the UK, as did their bondage gear. 1977 saw their show banned in many British cities but the music cut through with the seminal White Punks On Dope defining their sound and they are still going strong with latest album Mondo Pulp.
Alice Cooper, plus The Mission and The Tubes presented by AEG live in the UK:
November 2017:
11th – Leeds – First Direct Arena
12th – Glasgow – The SSE Hydro
14th – Birmingham – Barclaycard Arena

The light keeper
Ed Chiasson's place on Route 54 is just beautiful — drunk drivers have smashed into his hedgerow a time or two, but other than that, it's green and quiet, with extensive landscaping and flower garden.
Oh, and a lawn ornament shaped like a lighthouse — hinting at Chiasson's signature specialty.
A contractor from New Brunswick, Canada, he wandered Alaska and the lower 48 until the early 1970s — "I've traveled all over the U.S.," Chiasson pointed out. He did insulation, waterproofing and hurricane shutter installation from Maine to Florida before landing a swing scaffolding job in Ocean City, Md. and settling down long enough to build his home west of Fenwick.
A few years later, Chiasson was running a crew of about 20 at the time, with all the associated headaches and pains in the neck. "I wanted to do something different — something less stressful," he pointed out.
While he said he never actually retired, he started building ornamental lighthouses out of his home in the late 1980s, and eventually phased out of the contractor business.
His Sea-Lites venture has really taken off since then.
So why lighthouses? He admitted he was quite fond of them, but the business was really born of a simple change in perspective.
"People go through the world looking this way," he said, holding his hands by the sides of his face, like blinders. "But you just turn your head a bit, and that's when it hits," he said. "Whether it's lighthouses, or whatever it is.
Driving around, he said he kept seeing wooden lighthouse ornaments in yards — but something was wrong.
"To me, they didn't look like lighthouses," he said. "When you look at actual lighthouses, they're basically conical in shape — some of them are octagon, also, but even those, the ones you see aren't made to scale. They're just a generic-type lighthouse with a globe on top.
"You see people have their barns or sheds, and they're building those, and somebody comes along and says, 'I can build a better shed,'" Chiasson noted. "Basically, I saw lighthouses and I said, 'I can build a better lighthouse.' That's what it comes down to. That's it, in a nutshell."
Right at the outset, he realized he'd have a hard time building conical structures out of wood. He decided to use a polystyrene base material for the Sea-Lites models — Chiasson orders great blocks of the stuff, and then slices the conical sections using what he termed a "hot wire harp."
He applies a fiberglass coating to the base material, and then a durable, synthetic stucco finish (in three looks — sand, freestyle or coarse).
Chiasson said the Sea-Lites lighthouses were getting better and better all the time. Frankford resident Joe Eckert signed on as a business partner five years ago, and the two men turn some serious production out of their warehouse near Williamsville. They ship the Sea-Lites models all over the country, and overseas to England and Japan, Chiasson said.
If Chiasson's an artist, he's definitely a realist. He sends for the blueprints, and while he said they were harder to come by in these days of heightened security, he works from those. "Just like everybody had their own version of what a painting should look like, I just said, well, I have my own version of what a lighthouse should look like," he pointed out.
No plans, he works from photographs, but either way, when he's finished, it's not just some random lawn ornament — it's a miniature of a real thing, right down to the paint job.
For instance, the popular Cape Hatteras (N.C.) light is swirled like a barber pole. The Assateague (Va.) lighthouse is painted in bands, Cape Henry (Va.) in offset rectangular checks and Cape Lookout (N.C.) in a regular checkerboard — if you said the Diamondback, any lighthouse aficionado would know you were talking about Cape Lookout, Chiasson said.
Or, there's the Cape Canaveral (Fla.) Lighthouse — unlike most, it has portholes instead of regular windows, and Sea-Lites customers can be sure those will be accurately reflected in Chiasson's creations.
And then, there are options regarding the lens room, starting from the basic lantern with tulip bulb. "If you really want to go Rolls-Royce/Cadillac, you can get the revolving beacon," Chiasson said. "Or if you want something even fancier, we can light up the windows."
He said he wasn't set in stone in his loyalty to real-life, either — if clients wanted custom colors or patterns, he could accommodate. Some people matched them with their house paint or shutters, he pointed out.
The term "lawn ornament" just doesn't quite describe what it is that Chiasson produces. Meticulous reproduction aside, he builds some of these lighthouses on a rather grand scale.
Sure, there are the 3-foot-6 models, but they can be 10 feet, 12 feet, all the way up to 20 feet tall — perfect at a lakeside estate, for instance.
"Everybody loves lighthouses," he said. "You see a lot of people set up a nautical place in a corner of their property — add some stones and seagulls, maybe some netting — or they set them by their swimming pools.
"You can really use your imagination with them," he said." To learn more about Sea Lites, visit the Web site, www.sea-lites.com, or call (302) 436-5019.

Scriptural Truth – Determination and Victory
The game is tied and in the last minutes of the ballgame. Your team is in the red zone with only two yards to go for a first down and another four attempts to score the winning touchdown. The team is exhausted, they're out of steam and to get the first down let alone a touchdown will take something far greater than the skills they have of the game. As they huddle up for another play they are really sucking in wind and just trying to stand together. It's decision time for all of them and if one of them decides differently than the rest it may be the end of the game. They collectively look at each other and decide to reach deep inside of them and give everything they have for another series of downs. In each face there is the look of fatigue covered over with the heart of determination. They approach the ball and line up waiting for the snap. As the ball is snapped the line explodes pushing with all they have for a mere couple of yards, which seemed very well like the entire length of the field. The outcome was not just a first down but the push of determination with all they had left in them was the victorious winning touchdown. We find ourselves in similar situations in our daily walks of life especially those who try to live a Godly life. Our opposing force of the world and sin will try to wear us down to the point of total exhaustion. It will be mere determination to keep on fighting for the win. We should be reminded of the words of Paul when he stated "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (2 Tim. 4:7) for he knew that heaven would be his eternal victory. I would suggest to you it was the determination of Paul which kept him going. As Paul wrote to Timothy he gave him his motivation and cheered him on to do the same as he had done. We should all examine ourselves and determine that we will endure until the end and not push for just hoping we get to heaven but rather be determined we will give every last bit of ourselves to ensure we cross the goal line knowing we have the victory. Until next week this is the Scriptural Truth Tommy O'Kelley Minister Subligna Rd. Church of Christ (706) 638-1129 or (423) 413 – 5319, email firstname.lastname@example.com or Facebook.

Garryowen claim 39th Munster Senior Cup final success
The Garryowen squad celebrate their Munster Senior Cup final victory over UL-Bohemian at the Markets Field on Friday night
CLINICAL Garryowen claimed their first Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Cup title in six years and 39th in all when easing past local rivals UL-Bohemian 18-3 at the Markets Field on Friday night.
Tries in either half from Hugh O'Brien-Cunningham and full-back Andrew O'Byrne helped Garryowen overpower the Annacotty side who were seeking their first Munster Senior Cup title in 56 years.
Friday night's final was only the second ever meeting between the Limerick clubs in the Munster Senior Cup final, the only previous decider between the sides in 1926 also ended in victory for the 'Light Blues'.
Garryowen have proved deserving winners of the Cup having beaten Ulster Bank League Division 1A sides Young Munster and Cork Con, who were bidding to make it six-in-a-row in the competition this season on route to the final.
Garryowen went in front with a well-worked try on 16 minutes when out-half Jamie Gavin found winger Liam Coombes with a pinpoint crossfield kick.
Coombes beat a would-be tackler, before slipping the ball inside to Hugh O'Brien-Cunningham who scampered over.
Captain Neil Cronin duly converted for a 7-0 lead for the 'Light Blues'.
UL-Bohs got right back in the game before half-time when Robbie Burke landed a penalty goal to reduce the Dooradoyle side's lead to 7-3.
However, helped by a significant impact from their replacements' bench, Garryowen took control of the final in the closing quarter with Cronin adding a penalty goal and full-back O'Byrne darting over for a 73rd minute try which the scrum-half converted.
SCORERS: Garryowen: Hugh O'Brien-Cunningham, Andrew O'Byrne try each, Neil Cronin two pens, con. UL-Bohemian: Robbie Burke pen.
GARRYOWEN: Andrew O'Byrne; Liam Coombes, Hugh O'Brien-Cunningham, Peter Collins, James McInerney; Jamie Gavin, Neil Cronin; Andrew Keating, Liam Cronin, Janathan Phelan, Timothy Ferguson. Dean Moore; Darren Ryan, Mikey Wilson, Mark Rowley. Replacements: Diarmuid Barron, Niall Horan, Sean Rennison, David McCarthy, Aaron Leonard-Rice, Aaron McCloskey, JackDaly.
UL-BOHEMIAN: James McCarthy; Jamie McNamara, Adrian Enright, Henry Flemming, Colin Ryan; Robbie Burke, Joe Murray; Mark Bromell, Joe Bennett, Michael Lynch, Daragh Frawley, Edward Kelly; James Ryan, Ian Condell, Noel Kinane. Replacements: David Rowsome, David O'Connor, Michael Mullally, Darragh O'Grady, Robert Hennessy, Sean English, Pauric Nesbitt.

Patrick Belton, over at OxBlog, has this analysis of President Bush's State of the Union address:
If the amount of time given over to a single idea reflects its relative importance in the State of the Union speech (a reasonable assumption), then the most important themes in tonight's speech, in descending order, are: the need to commit adequate resources to the military for the war on terror (87 seconds); that government will act against single-sex marriage (84 seconds); the administration's commitment to strengthening families and religious communities, and to combat juvenile use of drugs (78 seconds); the government's commitment to education and excellence for each child in America (72 seconds); that the world without Saddam is a better and safer place (69 seconds). The closing matter took 78 seconds, centered around the idea that we are living in historic times.
So, at least on this view, what we should take away from Bush's speech is roughly: we live in historic times in which our major priorities are fighting terrorists, gays and atheists. And who says there's no culture war in America?
UPDATE: While I'm at it, the funniest moment in the speech had to be when Bush said:
Key provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire next year.
A big bonus for the speechwriter who left a fat pause after that sentence!

Have you ever heard that the Italian language considered one of the most beautiful sounding languages on Earth?
If yes then my story will be of interest to you. I am so excited to share it here!
My first experience with the Italian language happened when I arrived in Rome four years ago. Planning to spend the next two years in Italy, I immediately started searching for available language classes. Finding one was not a big deal as there were several schools with great offers.

After 12 weeks of intense classes, I was able to express my thoughts in a very rudimental manner. These results were quite satisfying, but there was still a long way to go. Although the biggest challenge was to speak and put my thoughts into appropriate understandable phrases, I eventually improved my language proficiency. Pulling the words and phrases out of my memory was both the hardest and most efficient moment of learning. The sooner you start learning a language the earlier you will speak it.
Here is the deal. I have highlighted the 7 most important reasons why you need to start learning Italian this year. Hope you are going to love them all!
1. Speaking Italian is of great help when you are visiting the country!
Have you ever thought to travel to Italy? If yes, then speaking with the locals in their tongue will be a huge plus for you. You may be thinking that studying Italian is a challenge but it is all about choosing the right approach. Italian language definitely brings you closer to Italian culture and helps you make new connections. English is one of the international means of communication, but once you go to Italy you may find it difficult to chat with Italians solely in English.
You will get better deals and offers while visiting Italy and win the attitude of the locals.
Among other benefits, speaking Italian at the local tourist places can keep you out of trouble as local rogues will not be that tempted to pull a fast one on you. On top of that, Italian will simply save your time while buying a ticket or asking for directions, as the chances of being understood in English are low. If you are up for trying some authentic 'not-for-tourists' cuisine do not expect to have a menu translated into any foreign language. That is why having a basic understanding of food names and ingredients in Italian is necessary while visiting Italy. An interesting fact is that Italian language has the largest amount of words for describing food than in any other tongue.

2. It is easy to practice!
Regardless of how imperfect your speech could be the most awaited reaction of locals would be flattering assurance of your outstanding Italian language skills. So, be prepared to receive compliments. Once you have learned the basics, it becomes easy to practice them, as everyone in Italy is open to short conversations and casual chitchats. Continuous positive feedback from native speakers adds to motivation and makes you improve your Italian language skills.
Speaking with mistakes still counts. Italians appreciate your effort, truly.
Furthermore, not speaking Italian immediately puts you in a tourist category, which implies higher service charges at local bars, cafes, taxi and restaurants. Italians genuinely appreciate foreigners who make an effort of trying to speak with them in Italian. Even if you have not reached an advanced level of verbal Italian, locals would utter "Bravo!" sincerely affirming your effort, encouraging you to continue conversation. Italians are extremely sociable and communicative.

3.It helps you make new contacts, friends and expand horizons!
Perhaps the most significant reason that you should learn Italian is an opportunity to establish cross-cultural friendship with the locals. Even basic conversational skills would help you get a rapport and increase your eloquence.
Did you know?
- Italy's population is 60 million people
- 75 million people all over the globe have an Italian ancestry. Some of them speak Italian in their communities
- Italian is also an official language in Switzerland and co-official in Slovenia
Your chances of being invited to a family dinner or a locally organized party are significantly increased if you speak basic Italian.
Italians are extremely hospitable and open-handed. If you get invited to someone's house that will immensely enrich your experience and will give you a chance to try some authentic Italian cuisine.

4. You can study, work or live in Italy!
If your goal lies way beyond a short visit and you have a dream of studying in Italy, then you should definitely consider learning Italian on a more advanced level. Universities in Italy offer a great number of academic programs for international students. The majority of these programs are taught in Italian so prospective students should have a decent level of the language proficiency. The most appealing reason why you would consider Italy as a country to pursue an academic degree is the low tuition fees.
Did you know?
University of Bologna was founded in 1088, University of Padua – 1222, University of Naples – 1224 (Alma Mater of Thomas Aquinas) and many others that contributed towards the development of world's academia are scattered all over Italy. One of the largest universities in the country is located in Rome and has 140,000 of students enrolled in 11 academic faculties. Sapienza University of Rome is well-known for its notable alumni who occupy various political and scholastic positions both in Italy and abroad. The most popular majors among foreign students are Arts, Design, Architecture and Social Sciences. However, there are plenty of international exchange students in Robotics, Computer Science and Medicine. Regardless of where your academic aspirations lie, there are a large number of universities in different parts of Italy that can offer you rigorous academic curriculum and even the possibility of receiving a scholarship.

5. Italian language will turn exploring cultural heritage into an authentic experience.
Italy is the 5th most visited country in the world. According to statistics, 48.6 million tourists visited Roman Colosseum in 2014. Apart from that, there is a great number of other charming places across the country. Italy contributes to World Heritage Sites more than any other nation, which makes it a perfect place to enjoy both architectural masterpieces and marvelous natural landscapes.
Besides regular Italian there are several similar sounding languages (sometimes referred to as vernaculars, or simply dialects) such as Neapolitan (Napolitano), Piedmont's (Piemontese), Sardinian (Sarda), Venetian (Veneto) and others, though the regular spoken Italian is acceptable across the entire Apennines Peninsula.
Enrich your travel experience and be prepared for a complete immersion into Italian culture!
If your plans revolve around a short visit to Italy, I would personally recommend you to have a rudimentary level of Italian. No one says you will not be able to survive in Italy using English, but speaking Italian would give you the authentic cultural experience you have always been looking for.

6. You may know some Italian already!
Italian is a Romance language and is very similar to Spanish. You can take an advantage of this if you already know basic Spanish. Half of the work is done and it would take less time and effort to learn new words and enrich vocabulary. Another way could be learning Spanish after Italian as the majority of words and phrases would already be stored in the memory. Furthermore, four other widely used Romance languages (Portuguese, French, Romanian and Catalan) are somewhat similar to Italian. It is hard to find a language that has no Latin words and Italian has thousands of them.
Around 30% of all English words have Latin roots and this knowledge greatly simplifies the learning process.
Italian language will give you an access to its literature, original movies without translations that usually distort the original message, and improves your listening and understanding skills. A well-known quote says 'the other language changes your vision of the world and makes you see things you have not noticed before'. Italian language is a gateway to a number of life opportunities you would love to explore!
It is not that hard as you think.
Learning Italian certainly requires a certain degree of dedication. However, it is easy to integrate this new hobby into your daily routine by replacing your playlists with Italian podcasts or music. The more you listen to the foreign language podcasts, the faster you can familiarize yourself with it making your brain record tones, pronunciation, words and phrases. The best way to learn Italian is to use it in informal conversations while going out with someone or having a delicious dinner. In these occasions, you are exposed to an opportunity of introducing yourself and practice your Italian rhetoric. The shortest way to grasp the Italian culture is through speaking Italian language.
Get rid of your mental blocks and stereotypes.
Many people reject the idea of learning a new language or drop out of language classes since they believe they will not learn it perfectly. Others say that leaning a new language is a big challenge and commitment that will take a lot of time. Learning a foreign language is definitely an investment of time and effort. In most cases, there is a mental block that prevents individuals from starting to learn a new language, as many believe they lack predisposition towards foreign tongues, communication or interpersonal skills. It is my firm belief that these stereotypes should be left behind as there is no way not to learn a language using a thoroughgoing approach. After all, we all use at least one tongue to communicate and somehow we have managed to master it.

7. Learning a new language is a rewarding hobby and brain exercise.
There is a scientific proof that brain greatly benefits from learning a new language. Not only is understanding a foreign speech one of the hardest tasks for the brain, but also learning process raises intelligence, expands memory, and increases concentration. People who use two or more languages have augmented cognitive abilities. The list of benefits is quite long and includes such points as increased creativity and enhanced mental flexibility. Exercising your brain is as healthy as exercising your body, and learning a new language is a remarkable way to do this.
Start a new productive hobby!
As you may know the language learning process could be placed into two areas of actions: receptive and productive. Reading and listening are receptive as they help you increase comprehension and build vocabulary of both words and idioms. Speaking and writing belong to a productive type of activity as they enhance your pronunciation and accelerate the word selection pace. Synchronizing these approaches would allow you to intensify learning and achieve substantial results faster. The most peculiar thing about Italian is a huge amount of body language and gestures. Gestures help you learn faster, as you would relate body moments with phrases.
Show your respect and enjoy the results!
Making an effort to express yourself in Italian will be definitely appreciated as it shows that you respect Italian culture and its contribution to the world's art heritage. Not only will your investment of time be paid off by an exceptional Italian cultural experience but also you will be able to express yourself in one more language that could be later used in your career or intercultural communication. Don't miss out on a chance to start learning Italian today because in a couple of weeks you will be handling basic conversations with native speakers and planning your visit to one of the most romantic countries on Earth.

Sophie Raworth Biography
Sophie Raworth born Sophie Jane Raworth, is a British journalist and broadcaster. She was born on 15 May 1968 in Redhill, Surrey, England to a florist mother and a businessman father.
She grew up in an exclusive area of Twickenham in south west London. She attended the independent Putney High and St Paul's Girls' schools. After completing a degree in French and German at the University of Manchester, Raworth spent a year teaching English to teenagers in Toulouse before studying for a postgraduate course in broadcasting and journalism at City University, London.
She works for the BBC as a newsreader, anchoring BBC News at One on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. She also regularly appears on the BBC News at Six and occasionally on BBC News at Ten.
Sophie Raworth Age
Sophie Raworth was born on 15 May 1968 in Redhill, Surrey, England to a florist mother and a businessman father. She grew up in an exclusive area of Twickenham in south west London.
Sophie Raworths Husband
Sophie Raworth is married to Richard Winter. They married at the local church in London on December 13, 2003. Sophie and Richard were friends for five years and dated each other for a year before their marriage. Richard proposed to Raworth on holiday in Amalfi, Italy, on her birthday. Richard is a property company director.
Sophie Raworth Children
Sophie Raworth and her husband Richard have three children; two daughters, Ella and Georgia, along with a son Oliver.
Sophie Raworth Family
In March 2017, the genealogy programme, Who Do You Think You Are? on BBC television, featured Sophie Raworth's family story. It revealed that she was descended from non-conformist ancestors who were members of an idealistic religious community called the New Jerusalem Church. They lived in Birmingham at a time when the city was rocked by religious riots in 1791 with people like her ancestors being the targets. In the aftermath of the riots, Sophie's ancestors, William and Martha Mott, took a great risk and uprooted their young family and moved to America. However, within two years of arriving, the parents had died of yellow fever and the children were sent back to England. Raworth discovers in the programme that she was not descended from the line that she had previously believed, but from Samuel Mott who was sent to live with a bankrupt and ended up taking his own life.
Investigating another branch of her paternal family tree, she found a long line of horticultural heritage stretching back to the 1700s, and beginning with her great-grandfather, Edgar Cussons Crowder, who once worked in the Palm House at Kew Gardens. Further research reveals that her five times great-grandfather, Abraham Crowder, grew and sold pineapple plants in the 18th century, at a time when the fruit was a prestigious luxury.
Sophie Raworth Salary
Sophie Raworth receives a salary in the range of £150,000-£199,999.

Sophie Raworth Interview
Source: www.completefrance.com
You studied French at university – what made you choose that subject?
Sophie Raworth: I actually did a joint honours in French and German. As a child we had some friends who moved to the Dordogne and my parents used to take us there. We used to drive
down, probably once a year. I would sit in the back of the car reading French comics and French kids' books my dad gave me. He was a very keen French speaker and that's
what really got me into it.
As a student you went to Toulouse – what did your year abroad teach you that a classroom couldn't?
Sophie Raworth: It was the perfect opportunity to immerse myself. I was offered the chance to go off and do a university course but decided I wanted to teach. I still remember arriving at this secondary school, just outside Toulouse (pictured below), where I was teaching a class of 16-year-old boys. I was only about 19 at the time and for the first few months I could hardly understand what they were saying, they were speaking so fast! They would all be teasing me but I remember the moment when it all clicked. I hung out with French people the whole time and became completely fluent.
Do you want to go back?
I should go back but I don't know anyone there any more. A lot of the people I knew were Parisians – they were gone two years after I left. I spent a lot of time in Paris after that.
What are your favourite memories from that time?
Sophie Raworth: In Toulouse, I remember bars and parties, amazing food – cassoulet! I drove over the border to Spain once. Being able to drive down to the south of France at the drop of a hat is such freedom compared to living in Britain, where you have to get on a ferry or go under the Channel.
Have you been on any professional assignments in France or where you've used your French?
Sophie Raworth: I did some work experience with the BBC where I spent a week in the Paris bureau. After training, one of my first jobs was as a producer in Brussels. I used my languages a lot for two years, which was fantastic. When I finished in Toulouse I was in this real quandary about whether or not I should come back to Britain. I felt like I'd really like to stay there and be French. I go to France and other French-speaking countries now as much as I can but have no ambitions for a second home.
Is it important to you to keep up your French?
Sophie Raworth: Yes, definitely. I spoke so much of it, for so long, that I can still understand people very easily. Even if I only go to France once or twice a year, my French is pretty fluent. I pick it up very quickly.
Will you be encouraging your children to take up a language?
Sophie Raworth: Actually, my daughter came home yesterday and told me she'd had her first French lesson. She looked at me and said: Bonjour, je m'appelle Ella', and I thought how sweet that was! I did consider sending my kids to a bilingual school in London. I had to put in a lot of hard work and effort learning French but kids pick it up so fast. It's a fantastic skill to have.
If you weren't a newsreader do you think you would have continued to teach?
Sophie Raworth: Teaching in France was one of the toughest jobs I've ever done – it was exhausting, the mental energy you had to put into it! As soon as I left university I got into media, so I've never really looked back. It was quite an experience and I have utter respect for teachers. Did you read that book, La Petite Anglaise? It is really funny. The author Catherine Sanderson did the same course as me, although not with me. But she stayed in France so I always think that that's the other path.
