Have you ever wondered whether you should quit fruit because A) you've heard that sugar is 'bad' for your health and B) fruit has lots of sugar in it?
Public Enemy #1 sugar
Sugar is the new evil that is going to be "on trend" for a while. Popular weight loss diets have even taken to dissing fruit because of its sugar content. This has left many people wondering if fruit should be included as part of a healthy diet.
It may surprise you to hear that not all sugars are the same. There are added and refined sugars, such as those food in confectionary, biscuits and soft drinks which should be limited in a healthy diet, as they are 'nutrient poor' and energy rich. There are also naturally occurring sugar, such as fructose found in fruit, which you should consume as part of a healthy diet because it contains more than just sugar. Fruit has many important nutrients such as water, vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and phytochemicals.
Consume whole fruits
When fruit is consumed whole with the skin intact, it is generally high in fibre ensuring a slower uptake of fructose in the body and is low in calories, making fruit a healthy snacking option. On the other hand, fruit juice is stripped of fibre and is a very concentrated source of sugar, which is high in energy and causes fluctuating blood sugar levels and subsequent hunger. Dried fruits have a similar effect on the body, which is even more reason to fill up on the fresh fruit!
High fibre fruit
Some fruits have more health benefits than others. For example, the fibre content in fruit varies. It's generally recommended that individuals aim to consume fruits that are high in fibre in order to feel full and hence reduce the risk of overeating and maintain a healthy weight. Even better, eating at least 2 serves of fruit a day helps meet the recommended dietary intake of 30 grams per day.
Top five fibre rich fruits
Here are top 5 ways to incorporate high fibre fruit as part of a healthy diet:
- Raspberry smoothie (6.5 grams of fibre per 100g)
- Yoghurt of choice topped with passionfruit (10.4 grams of fibre per 100g)
- Afternoon snack reach for the fruit bowl for a pear (3.1g of fibre per 100g)
- Eggs and avocado on toast (6.7g of fibre per 100g)
- Whole grain oatmeal topped with banana (2.6g of fibre per 100g)
Why you should eat at least two serves of fruit per day
Fruit has numerous health benefits with studies showing that increased fruit intake has a role in weight maintenance and loss, in addition to providing protection against chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke and some cancers.
Eating 2 servings of fruit per day is recommended for those that are sedentary, whilst the upper limit of 4 servings is for those that are regularly active. An unlimited intake of fruit can lead to an excess kilojoule intake and seeing as 63.4% of Australians are overweight or obese, unnecessary kilojoules are not needed.
What's the best fruit to eat?
In order to get the most health benefits, eat an array of colourful fruits every day, as each fruit has its own set of phytochemicals – which are naturally occurring and have health promoting properties, as well as antioxidants –which protect human cells from harmful effects of free radicals.
Red fruits like tomatoes and watermelon contain an antioxidant called lycopene, which reduces the risk of many cancers and is good for heart health. Whereas orange coloured fruit are packed with plenty of beta carotene, which is good immune function and vision.
People looking to lose weight might think that fruit could be holding them back from losing those last few kilo's however, fruit is a good option for weight loss as it is low in fat and sodium. And it generally a low kilojoule alternative to packaged foods such as muesli bars, which are energy rich.
For people with diabetes, fruit is encouraged as most types of fresh fruit have a low glycemic index due to the fibre and fructose content, meaning they won't cause a rapid rise of blood glucose levels. There are fruits such as watermelon, lychee and dates that are high GI. Individuals with diabetes should be aware that enjoying small amounts of these two type of fruit is still ok, but monitor your sugar levels if you eat a large amount.
What is 1 serving of fruit?
It may be helpful to know that a standard serve of fruit is 150g (350KJ) or equivalent to:
- 1 medium apple, banana, orange or pear
- 2 small apricots, kiwi fruits, or plums
- 1 cup of diced or canned fruit (with no added sugar).
Don't quit fruit
Fruit is a gift from nature and intended to be consumed in such way, as natural and fresh as possible. Fruit contains plenty of good nutrients making it a healthy option for when you are hungry or to satisfy your sweet tooth. Remember, when possible eat seasonally for better value, quality and variety and for those concerned with indulging in an overload of sugar, limiting foods and drinks with added sugar is ideal.

Developing Business Strategies With Shaygan Kheradpir
Technology and mobile communications expert Shaygan Kheradpir has broken the mold of the role technology experts play in businesses that are outside the industry itself. Prior to the arrival of Kheradpir at major companies like Verizon and Barclays the role of the technology expert had been strictly marginalized in the development of new technologies alone. However, the work and success of Kheradpir in bringing IT and the best in technology to the forefront of each business he has been involved in has been instrumental in a shift in the way technology is viewed across a wide range of industries.
Shaygan Kheradpir began to come to a position of power and influence when he took up a role with GTE Labs and later with Verizon after the two companies merged. For most companies the head of research and development is somebody who is stranded in their role creating the technologies that each and every individual hopes to own in their future. Shaygan Kheradpir of ireport.cnn looked to change the way the latest developments in technology are being developed, which includes the use of small teams to develop small areas of the latest technologies in a bid to make sure they are developed quickly and on budget. The development of new technologies at Verizon was so successful that the company looked towards Kheradpir to develop the best strategies for lowering technology budgets to a level under the industry average. The outsourcing of many IT tasks to areas of the world with lower salary levels and improving IT software to take the budget below the industry average saw the profile of Kheradpir rise to a high level.
Through his work with Verizon Shaygan Kheradpir was spotted by the executives at the financial giant Barclays. The Cornell University graduate became the first technology executive to sit on the board of the banking company and look to develop some of the most important pieces of software for the financial future of banks and their customers. The Pingit mobile payments software was just one of the achievements Shaygan Kheradpir can lay claim to during his time at Barclays, which has been used to allow greater use of mobile devices to complete banking transactions around the world. Other achievements completed under the leadership of Kheradpir at Barclays include the development of software that linked all the various offices of the financial giant around the world. This allows banking experts from anywhere in the world to view accounts in real time to make decisions about loans and other financial products without a long delay.

Tell us how you felt about the level of service DJNYC Music Service has provided for your event. We also have feedback on our dj nyc news website.
DJNYC were awesome, they played exactly what we wanted. They got over 90% of our guests on the dance floor and no one wanted to leave when we shut down the music after 8 hours at 11:30pm. Best wedding djs ever!
They kept the dance floor going all night.

These guys did an amazing job at my wedding. They put a lot of thought into the play list with the information that I provided them. Once they got set up and got going they kept a good vibe going from start to finish. I got many compliments from my guests about the DJ's because they did such a kick ass job.
Highly recommend Dj NYC for your event…!

September 2011 wedding

Okay so part of why my wedding was so incredibly amazing was because we had the best DJ's in the entire world. And I mean WORLD. We used DJNYC based in (obviously) NYC but they were willing to travel all the way to Sandy Hook, NJ for our bay side wedding. We worked with Dan and Sean and they were the most amazing, down to earth, super friendly guys that I have ever met. They basically knew every song we wanted to play including some really underground stuff (think: Feist, MIA, M.Ward) and all of the really fun songs on the radio (think: Katy Perry, Lady Gaga) and not on the radio anymore but still super fun and reminiscent of our 13 year old selves (think: Spice Girls, Green Day).
Please please check them out. They were wonderful! We loved them (as you can tell from the picture of us all dancing!)

Chapel at Sandy Hook – May 2011
DJ NYC are awesome! Ed and I found them through a friend who had been to a wedding they were working and said that they had everyone dancing all night! From the first time I spoke with Dan on the phone to meeting Dan and Sean in person, they have been so easy and fun to work with. They were the first appointment we made with DJ's and our last because as soon as we met them we knew they would do an awesome job. They sat down and took the time to get to know us even before talking about music and wedding details. They listened and took notes on what we wanted, such as music genres, artists, and even gave us suggestions.
DJNYC were a HUGE help with choosing ceremony music, which was something I didn't have time to do. Sean emailed us lists of traditional and unique suggestions and I was able to choose all my music from his recommendations. Our favorite choice was "All You Need Is Love" by Vitamin String Quartet for our bridal party processional. DJNYC are very professional and know so much about music.
They are a great team and so easy to work with. Everyone danced all night and at the end of the wedding we found ourselves hanging out with them instead of our friends! Ed and I would highly recommend DJ NYC!
Jen & Ed – Rockleigh Country Club Wedding – May 2011
I can't say enough good things about dj nyc! They were enthusiastic and helpful from the first meeting right up until the end the event. They worked closely with us to understand the mood we wanted to set and the vibe of our guests, and tailored the music accordingly rather than relying on the usual 'wedding standards'.
They went above and beyond in every way, from helping us decide the schedule of the reception to dealing with changes right up to the last minute. Practically every one of our guests made the point to tell us how awesome and uniquely "us" the music was. The dance floor was full even before dinner ended and Sean and Dan kept it going all night! (I now have pictures of both my brother *and* my father on the dance floor…two sights I thought I would never see!)

Brooklyn Historical Society – April 2011
We hired djnyc for our April wedding (in a private club on the Upper East Side) in NYC and could not be more thrilled with our decision. Everyone absolutely loved them and they really made the party come to life. We were concerned that it would be difficult to find a DJ to please our crowd, which was a mix of younger people in their 20s and older Jewish and Asian relatives. After interviewing a few potential DJs, we were worried that we wouldn't be able to find the right match. But once we met Sean and Dan, something clicked and we knew that they were the DJs for us.
DJ NYC are true professionals and have great personalities. After finding out that they were available for our date, Sean and Dan suggested that we meet to go over our likes and dislikes and the timeline of toasts/dancing/cake-cutting. We were so impressed with how proactive and thorough they were. They were so detail-oriented and committed to making our wedding the best it could be. Most of our requests had been for pop-dance music for our younger crowd, but they suggested a few older songs for our parents and relatives, which I was SO happy about in retrospect, because the older crowd really would've been left out otherwise. During dinner, the older relatives perked up after hearing songs that they recognized and loved. Sean and Dan are so knowledgeable about every genre of music that they were able to create a good balance of music, culturally and generationally.
The entire night went flawlessly because of Sean and Dan's expertise. They were able to gauge the crowd and switch up the music accordingly. They transitioned from hava nagila, to top 40s pop, to bossa nova seamlessly. My friends and I danced all night up until the venue needed to close down! Everyone kept coming up to us all night to comment on how great the DJs were. Sean and Dan are the best! Thank you so much for making our wedding a success!
L & A – Lotos Club Wedding – April 2011
Absolutely superb! It was essential we had DJ's who were able to make a very difficult crowd dance all night long at our wedding. And DJNYC passed with flying colors – they were AWESOME! They are supremely knowledgeable about every genre of music and, being English, I was pleased with their knowledge of British music. The day after our wedding the guests were very complimentary about the DJ's and all agreed that they were the quality of music made the whole evening very special indeed. On top of that they are also top guys! I can't recommend these guys enough – you won't be disappointed! – Scott
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you both for everything you did at our wedding reception! The music was absolutely fantastic and you really kept the crowd going all night long. Everyone is still telling me about what an awesome job you guys did in making such an amazing wedding reception with everyone dancing and having a blast. We will definitely be recommending you to all of our friends and family!! Thanks again!! Alison

I just wanted to let you know again how truly thrilled and delighted I was that you and Dan were able to join me for the wonderful surprise 60th birthday party organized by Andrea. Your music selections and the timing of the entertainment set the perfect tone for the party. Suffice to say, it meant more to me than you know to have you both there on that memorable evening. Thanks again for helping to make the evening such a special success in every way.
Midtown Loft and Terrace – 12/10/10
These guys are SO great. We like a lot of different music, and wanted someone who could seamlessly blend a bunch of different styles together, from french pop to london indy rock to reggae to bluegrass. DJNYC did it beautifully, and turned it into an insane dance party at the same time.
They are super knowledgeable about pretty much every genre of music, and spent loads of time on the phone with us and meeting in person to figure out what kinds of music would make for the best party, and would appeal to our wide range of guests. And they did it all without playing ANY of the typical cheesy songs you hear at every single wedding.
If you want music that fits your style and creates the exact kind of party you want for you and your guests, these are your guys.

We cannot possibly thank you enough. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect, and we thank you for helping to make our vision a reality. From the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception, to the after party, you two were amazing! And you moved from each section of the wedding flawlessly…the music never stopped.
We thank you, too, for your willingness to play our whacky playlist and for feeling the crowd and adding in your own choice for the moment, truly awesome!
We got compliments on the music all day and we still do! Which is what inspired us to send wedding thank you cds to all of our guests! Thank you for being so talented and for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

Thank you guys so much for the off the charts Halloween bash. You did such a great job of keeping everything moving and mixing zombie style halloween tunes with more modern upbeat tracks. We were so happy to have found djnyc, and will definitely be hiring you for the mixer in the spring.
Much appreciation for taking the time to go over everything with us before hand, it made all the difference for making the party go off. Have a great holiday and we'll be in touch soon.

I was looking for a unique DJ that could blend many tastes, cultures and ideas. DJNYC was definitely the best choice. They kept people dancing and were great guys to be around. Professional and fun, they enjoy making your event awesome. My favorite thing about them was that they worked with you on a personal level and became friends, not just vendors.
I loved that at the end of the wedding, they joined me, sitting on the dance floor, reliving the weekend (two day wedding and they were there for both nights). I would recommend them to anyone and I would use them again. Dan and Sean, thank you for being there for my wedding. You both were everything I wanted.

DJ NYC did an amazing job for our wedding ceremony and reception. They listened to what we wanted and came up with a great set of songs. Everyone at our wedding from young to old had a great time. The dance floor was never empty and for most of the night the dance floor was packed. We had many guests coming up to us during and after the reception telling us that this had been one of the best weddings they had ever attended. They played a great mix of music that both the younger crowd and older crowd could enjoy. Before the wedding they were there to answer all the questions we had and went over the entire night start from finish. The other great thing about this dj company is that it is a small organization, and unlike the larger ones, the dj you meet at your first consultation is the same one that will be there on your wedding day. We truly believe that these guys made our wedding day unforgettable. We will be recommending them to anyone I know getting married in the NYC area.
Thank you guys for all your hard work! We had a blast and the proof is in the pictures!

Djnyc recently dj-ed our wedding in North Jersey. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They spent a great deal of time preparing for the event with us which really helped to make it personal. We were able to convey our style during this time and they accurately reflected that in the music played at the wedding. Our wedding was outdoors and this presented some challenges for our caterer. However, during the mayham our DJ was able to keep things organized and helped to put the event on track. They really adapted to all of the changes that occurred during the night as not all of the events happened according to our original timeline. In addition, they also played off of the crowd, accurately taking the music where the people wanted it to go. We worked with so many vendors for the wedding and djnyc stood apart as a company. All of our guests commented on how great the music was as well as the personality of the DJ. They were tasteful whenever making announcements about the evening. We absolutely could not have been happier with the music and would not hesitate to recommend djnyc for any event. They did an incredible job and we would love to use them again!!
We would like to thank you for the outstanding job that you did at the wedding. Many, many of our guests commented on the music. We really appreciated that you were able to bring our personality into the wedding while also paying attention to the crowd and the things that they liked. You guys were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We could not be happier with how everything came out and we will write a lengthier/glowing review on your website. If you ever need a referral please use either of us as a contact person, we would love to share with other people how great you are!! Thank you again for everything, it was great to have you be a (huge) part of our wedding.

Tess and I wanted to say a huge thank you for DJ-ing at our wedding. As your pictures capture perfectly, everyone had such a great time, with our only regret being that the night had to come to an end. You guys both managed to play a great mix of music, catering to the very eclectic group of people at our wedding, all of whom commented on what a fun time they had.
In short, the day was perfect and you played a big part in that, so thanks so much. I think the only thing left to say is…
"Back to yours! Back to yours! Back to yours!" ;o)
All the best,
We used DJ NYC for our wedding earlier this year, and were thoroughly impressed. Sean and Dan took the time to meet with us a number of times before the big day to understand what type of music we wanted, how it should fit within the reception, and importantly to offer their advice on how to best run these things. All of this really helped to relax us, and we knew we'd be in safe hands.
When it came to the big day we weren't disappointed. Everyone had a blast, helped enormously by Dan and Sean's ability to judge the mood and change tracks accordingly. They managed to balance playing a large number of Greek tracks (to meet family demands) while still getting in all the more mainstream, floor-fillers and all of our 'must play' tracks, keeping everyone dancing throughout.
I'd definitely recommend them to anyone!

Thank you dj nyc! You guys were awesome!
You did a great job of incorporating our interests in music with what the guests also wanted. You were also very knowledgeable about the music we liked and gave us wonderful suggestions. We had numerous friends come up to us to tell us how much they loved the music, and how they were so excited to hear their favorite songs. Both our Italian and Korean family members and ALL of our friends had such a wonderful time dancing the entire night. Thank you for understanding our two cultures, and making our traditional ceremony such a hit! We never once worried about the music – it was done so well and brought the right mood for every moment of the wedding!!! We can't say enough!!

I am the bride's sister-in-law. The DJs were amazing. The momentum of the music kept everyone on the floor. As you can see from the pictures there was no room left on the floor. – Josephine
I am the lucky guy who got married to the beautiful bride. I can't even tell you how much we appreciate the DJ's. They did an amazing job! Like any wedding I am sure your concern is that you just want to make sure everyone is having a good time and dancing. Well just hire Dan and Sean. The flow of the party the way they kept the people dancing I mean just take a look at the pictures above. There is one more thing that may help you while making a decision when looking for a DJ. I am from Poland and Kerri is an American girl and one of the things we wanted to incorporate in our wedding was to have some of the Polish songs. The DJ's were able to smoothly transition between both types of music and to be honest I don't even remember when the Polish songs went on because everything was flawless.

My name is Eugene and I have to say DJNYC did a great job and are really cool guys to work with. They gave us a lot of advice and were on point with every part of the program.

We really recommend them for your wedding or any other event you may be planning. Thanks DJNYC!

I was a guest at this wedding and you guys were incredible. I enjoyed sitting at dinner hearing the Shins and Toots and the Maytals and dancing later to the fantastic, original mix you put together.
We had a great time at the wedding! So many of our friends came up to us and remarked on how well integrated the dancing and music was in relation to the overall "schedule of events" — thanks so much for helping design the evening.
We also received more than a few compliments regarding music selection. A lot of people were surprised and excited to hear the Smiths and Depeche Mode played at a wedding! The only regret is that the dancing couldn't go on all night.
A great time was had by all!
Thanks again, Rob and Trisha

Many many thanks to Dan and Sean for being the DJ's at our wedding at Split Rock! From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, and through the reception, the music was one of the most unique and important elements of the day. My husband and I did not want the 'usual' wedding music, but wanted the night to be a party for our guests. DJNYC read the energy of the group, and with the music that we chose, got people dancing all night. They contributed to the very special feeling of the day.
We are truly grateful we found you guys-Thank you!

DJ NYC DJ'd my wedding at Golden Unicorn Chinese restaurant, and I was absolutely thrilled with them. These guys are fluent in all kinds of music! In addition to the wedding itself, I also enjoyed chatting about music with Sean and Dan during our initial meeting. (I should mention that they traveled to a Starbucks right across the street from my office for the initial consultation, which was very convenient.) They played a great dance mix that was perfectly customized for my now-husband and me, and made very intelligent editorial decisions about what to play (and what not to play) and when to play it. Everyone at our wedding was dancing like a maniac.
DJ NYC will take an extremely active interest in personalizing you event. They are knowledgeable and professional and make informed decisions about what kind of music the crowd is feeling. Very highly recommended.

Awesome night! So much of a good party depends on great music, which was a constant at our wedding all night long. Excellent advice, easy planning, awesome execution – djnyc is fantastic. Thanks again, for such a thoughtful and customized mix. The flow from beginning to end was exactly what Meghan and I wanted. As an aside, I'm not sure many folks could have successfully meshed Motley Crue and Blackalicious into the same night, but you did and it worked! You guys have such a good feel for the room; everyone was dancing the whole night long. Thanks again! – Rob

Thank you for doing such an amazing job! All of our friends and family have unanimously raved about how much fun they had, and it was completely evidenced by the dance floor. You made it a fabulous night!
dj nyc was amazing! From the start, they were incredibly easy to work with — they were relaxed, knowledgeable, and put us totally at ease. The wedding was insanely fun. Everyone was out on the dance floor the whole night and kept coming over to us to tell us how they'd never danced so much at a wedding.
It's not just our biased opinion, we've heard from everyone from friends our age to older guests that it was the most fun they've had at a wedding. We are totally indebted to djnyc for making our wedding the perfect party and totally unforgettable!

DJ NYC are amazing DJ's. We heard over and over again from our friends after the wedding that the music was one of the standouts of the evening. There were people on the dancefloor that never dance and all of our guests had such a great time.
They were fantastic to work with. They collaborated closely with us to pick the right playlist that represented who we are as a couple and bringing a huge amount of fun into the process.
What we really loved about working with DJNYC is that they really know and are really passionate about music. We met with a ton of DJ's in planning for the wedding and they were the smartest, best and most creative.
Thanks again, You guys rocked, Michael
Thank you so much for the amazing DJing that you guys did on Saturday. You were so professional and the music was excellent. You had people on the dance floor that never dance! e.g. My 84-yr old grandma and uncles from Iowa. We received feedback that it was 'the best wedding ever' and you guys played a big role in that. 🙂
Warm wishes and happy holidays, Amee

You guys were awesome.. changing it up with adding an additional song for our entrance, lining up groomsmen and bridesmaids so we can have the dance floor to ourselves and shining that light to bring it all in focus, from the selection of songs to listening to our suggestions the evening just flowed… we have interviewed a lot of djs when we were shopping around but your attention to detail and carving out the time to listen to your clients sets you apart from the rest…
Again we can't thank you enough… will definitely keep you in mind for any other future occasions and will recommend you guys without hesitation… (and put us on the list wherever you're playing) – Arthur
We can't thank you enough for the wonderful job you did at our wedding. Everyone had a great time and we had so much fun! For an Egyptian/Polish wedding, you managed to combine the Arabic music with pop, classics, 80s, spanish, indian and hip hop seamlessly. All of our guests were on their feet and enjoyed the night. Thank you for posting the beautiful pics and video clip. We've shared it with all of our friends and family. Thanks again for all of the personal attention you gave us during the planning process, it made the night flow perfectly. – Janet

DJ NYC did an exceptional job for our wedding. They went above and beyond by taking extra time with us to ensure all the details had been discussed and reviewed, by coordinating with the venue, and by snapping some great pictures too. I would describe these gentlemen as friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I couldn't have hired a better DJ. Guest said things like, "what great DJs", "best music at a wedding, ever!", and "best wedding ever". Thanks DJ NYC for making our day so special.

As mother of the bride it gave me great pleasure in hearing from my friends and family for weeks after about how much fun they had, especially because of DJ NYC. A great mix of great music orchestrated by these guys. I know I danced the entire night away surrounded by the guests. FANTASTIC EVENT, and the DJs made it happen! THANKS for making my kids event spectacular! – Ginger Panepinto
We can't say enough nice things about these guys!! They were amazing and made our wedding a kickin event. Every song hit the right note at the right time. Our guests wouldn't stop talking about how perfect the music was and how much fun they had because of it.

You guys were everything we had hoped for and then some. One of my wishes was to have all my friends and family dancing until curfew and it happened in the most extraordinary way. Music that kept people dancing until the venue shut down was a huge priority for us. Your music not only has to flow but your DJs need to be experts on wedding time lines and how to make not just the music but all of the events flow. We were looking for DJs who were music fanatics, weren't cookie cutter or too cutesy or too cool for weddings. With all of our vendors, we wanted to truly like the people who would be making much of our wedding happen. The question I always asked myself after meetings was "Would I invite them as guests to my wedding?" For DJNYC, the answer is heck yeah.
Since we lived across the country from our wedding destination, Sean and Dan were very flexible with meeting my husband while he was in NYC for business. They are exactly how they present themselves: laid back yet total pros, accommodating but full of great and useful tips and ideas, friendly, reliable and super fun.What floored me is how much time they took with us on the phone prior to the wedding to get our music and time line together. We completely trusted them to work off our must play/don't play and they did not disappoint.
There are things that Sean said to me prior to the wedding that really happened exactly the way he described: must play songs that we heard as we were eating that were so special, the timing of speeches, incorporating two traditional dances back to back got the crowd bouncing up and down. It was incredible to take a moment to look at all of my friends and family getting down in our historic mansion (for the night) and not once do I recall a drop off. They kept churning out crowd pleasers that were our songs or in the same family and the dance floor remained packed.
There are some magical and unforgettable moments that I could have never expected from one of our groomsmen singing "I want it that way" a cappella and our guests cheering and singing along with him to the very last song when we were handed two sparklers and heard Johnny Cash's "Ring Of Fire" as our friends and family gave us our sparkly sendoff. It was like a dream; did that really happen? I cannot thank dj nyc enough for being such a huge part of our wedding. We adore you.
We deeply appreciate the time you took prior to the wedding in assisting us with our timeline and making decisions that would keep people moving, dancing and happy. We would highly recommend you in a heartbeat so feel free to use us as a reference.

We always knew that music was a key part of our big day – thank you for making the music so memorable and special. We feel so lucky to have had the benefit of your encyclopedic knowledge (you even knew our metal bands!) and extraordinary good taste- and your amazing skills of keeping the party going!
All our guests – from our family members to the most hard-to please music snob friends were full of praise for the music. Thank you so much for an amazing night.

My Uncle Henry from L.A. who was an A&R bigwig from Atlantic sent us this email after the wedding… "I have never been to a wedding in my 64 years where I heard such an incredible selection of Northern Soul, Stax, verve Jazz, Trojan reggae, French lounge and Fania salsa. Please pass along to your dj how great we thought he was!"
Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job with the music for our wedding. We were hesitant to use a DJ because we didn't want the typical cheesy DJ vibe and same old wedding songs, but once we met with you guys we knew you were different and have similar taste in music as we do. So happy we found you guys and thanks for your great work. Also, the pictures you took were a nice touch, you captured so good moments. We'll be sure to use you again in the future.
Cheers! Lisa and Jeremiah

I knew from the first meeting that these guys were going to be exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable about and willing to play obscure post punk, new wave, indie rock, etc., but they had great suggestions from many more different eras of music, and will dig up very cool less familiar tracks by well known acts that still completely fit the bill. I still to this day get people telling me how blown away they were by the music at our wedding. How many times have you heard that about other weddings? It's rare to find DJs so passionate about what they do. Every step of the way they talked with us at length to get everything exactly right, making sure that we were on the same page with the schedule of events, and they pretty much left no stone unturned digging up each and every song of our specific request list. Thanks guys! We can't thank you enough for making our day even more perfect.

As the bride of the wedding at Monteverde, I have to say that DJNYC could not have been more professional and easy to work with! I had no worries throughout the evening that they would do a fabulous job! We wanted our wedding to be a "party with class" and that definitely followed through! I am now looking for excuses to hire them again! Thank you DJNYC!
A belated thank you from me and David! You guys did an AMAZING job and we are thrilled with how the day worked out. You dealt with the separation of rooms perfectly and I can't say enough nice things. The day is a blur for me (go figure), but I have received tons of positive feedback from guests. And the After Party was great! I was running out of steam at first, but the music gave me my second/third/fourth wind.

We would like to thank you for making our daughter and son-in-law's wedding an event that will always be remembered by our guests as the best wedding they have ever attended. Our friends still talk about it when we get together. The music and the dancing never stopped and you can tell by the photos that everyone had a blast!
All I can say about you guys is YOU ROCK! We loved how you made us feel comfortable and really listened to what we wanted. You had great suggestions but were not pushy. After our first meeting we left saying "yea these are the right guys for us."
The wedding was by far the best day of our lives… so far. Everyone danced until the very end, even with the extended hour, we couldn't get enough. I knew that the DJ is like the most important part of the weddding because if you have good music, people will party. We gave you guys a few songs and a general idea of what we wanted to hear, and you ran with it. The music never stopped, there was never a dull moment and most importantly to us you guys were not overbearing… it was perfect. I wish we could get married again just so you guys could be there to dj it.
Thanks again for an awesome job… keep it up!

These guys are the best of the best if you're looking for a DJ in NYC. I used them for a corporate schmoozing-type event on June 16th, 2009. It's the 4th time in a row that I've used them for this party. This year the turnout was huge and the music was the perfect mix of funk, ambient electronic, world, soul, and pop to keep everyone's feet moving without them even realizing they were dancing. The subliminal effect of the music is wonderful. Conversation was plentiful and upbeat, drinks were copious, and the music held everything together through a meandering path of perfect ups and downs that were never predictable, but never out of place. The crowd stayed well beyond the open bar, and so did the DJs! Staying at least a full 90 minutes past the end of the event, and telling me they were happy to do it for free. These guys get the vibe you're looking for and they know how to execute it. If you want to hire a DJ that's going to understand exactly what you want so that you don't have to spend a second worrying about the DJ again these guys are it.

Thank you so much for making our wedding so much fun for everyone. We totally appreciate the time you spent with us before the wedding asking us questions and trying to connect with our musical taste. Not only did you play the songs that were important to us, but also you were able to put together a play list beyond the songs we specifically requested that still was reflective of our style.
In addition, you always seemed to know when to pick up the pace and when to slow it down a bit. It really helped define the flow of the evening and we both are very grateful.
The pics of the wedding are great!

DJNYC did an amazing job at our wedding Royalton Roslyn Country Club May 24, 2009. They were very attentive to feeling out our music tastes as well as feeling out the needs of the crowd to keep the dancing going. They played a large range of music throughout the event including the cocktail hour. They were completely on top of everything. During our ceremony they seamlessly mixed in sound clips at just right moments. They even helped us show a short film that the best man prepared. We were most impressed with their ability to somehow loop one of our procession songs (The world Spins Madly on, by the Weepies) so that a line that says "I wish that I was dead" was never heard. These guys have a personal touch and are very professional. Thank you Sean and Dan.

You were right in tune with the procession music and had your fingers on the pulse of what was happening on the dance floor for the rest of the night. Great job! – Kara
Hi Guys!! I cannot tell you how thrilled we were with the way you ran our wedding reception that night. We initially met you over a year before what turned out to be our wedding date yet when we had the conversation to iron out the details, it was as though we had had our first pow-wow just weeks before. You take your role in these events very seriously, but somehow manage to be laid back and approachable for the entire duration. The music was great! Everyone still talks about how fun it was, and how much they appreciated the old school stuff from our college days. You managed to put together a great assortment of music and every few minutes I realized that you were playing one of the songs we requested. I have heard of many couples being disappointed with their DJs because they never hear certain songs they requested. That just didn't happen with you guys at all! If we went up to make a request you took that request and also took the opportunity to touch base with us on other songs you were thinking of throwing out there. You guys are fabulous and we are so glad we found you for our wedding!

Simply amazing…. thats all there is to say about what you guys pulled off for us.
My father who has got to be one of the hardest critic when it comes to music (he used to be the production manager and a DJ in Korea in his younger days) specifically mentioned the music and how much he loved it, especially the jazz stuff you guys played early on.
We have got to say that you guys were so much more then what we expected and we expected a LOT from you guys!

Three years in a row, and you have yet to disappoint. Our company's event has grown in attendance each year, and I'm convinced that it's you guys that keep the party going until everyone is having more fun than they should on a weeknight. Thanks so much for your continued attention to the detail of our event. It's important to us that we project a very specific image to our clients, and you guys put that image forth perfectly, with only the most elementary explanation of what we want. You have great instincts. You know how I can get obsessive about what music is playing when, and yet, when you guys are in the booth, I have no worries. I just sit back, have a cocktail, and enjoy the beat.
Thanks, guys! See you next summer.

We had a fantastic time!!! You guys were great, everyone was coming up to either myself or John during the evening and complimenting us on what a wonderful music selection you played, including one of our family friends who owns a small, eclectic music store in Huntington. He's really into some cool and obscure stuff, and he told me it was the best music he's ever heard at a wedding!
John's friends also came up to me and said they enjoyed all the music – you certainly got them up and dancing, which is a challenge, believe me.

"these guys spin the best music I've ever heard". One of my biggest concerns was hearing too much of one style, but you pulled it off perfectly. Thanks again for an awesome night and for being able to seemlessly mix so many different styles of music. You guys are great.

I asked some of the guests if they are having a good time and many said to me something to the effect of "can't you tell by my sweaty face?"
You guys were so accommodating to us and through all the kaos of trying to tend to so many people, music entertainment was the least of my concerns because you and your partner literally took care of everything.

Big ups also for the deep crate digging with Mob Deep, Jaz Z, Method Man, etc. I know that my group in particular and other divisions within the company are always looking for great DJs and I will definitely pass your name along for any future corporate events we have.

I was reading...
Not sure if it was here or on FB but I was reading an article about the stages of a woman's feelings after loss.
The second last stage was depression/grief. The article stated that most women stay in this stage until they are able to have another baby.
I still feel so depressed and I do not want to hear about or see other pregnant women. It was good to read that I am normal but it is scary to think that I may always feel this way because I will never have that chance for a rainbow.
Re: I was reading...
:hug: I know how you feel. It makes me upset to see other women pregnant. There is a girl on my FB she has no job, lives on WIC and Foodstamps and her husband just went to jail for a felony. And she is pregnant with her 2nd. I just makes me wonder why. Why can't we have healthy pregnancies.
(and I have nothing at all against assistance like FS or WIC but neither her or her husband worked.)
Re: I was reading...
*hugs* I'm still feeling like that. Especially after losing the twins. It seems worse now...

A little more display space ....
Managed to find a smaller display cabinet (about 21 x 15 inches) that fitted in my last available wall space in the gaming room; the plan was to use it for my and Wittenberg staff vignettes and all my civilians etc.
3 comments:
This looks great. Figures look so much nicer displayed in cabinets. I have my eye on some flat cabinets on ebay, used for railway engine displays I think.ReplyDelete
That's a lovely job - I've become very weird about display cabinets since i discovered that some of my flags were fading in the sunlight. My main cabinet has black curtains fitted (so no-one can see the soldiers normally) and I'm making increased use of box files, which is a completely non-display storage method. Yes - I know, I know - it's silly that my soldiers can't be enjoyed except on the tabletop, butReplyDelete
(a) my figures are not as beautiful as yours, and
(b) weird is sort of OK, if it works
Nice little cabinet. Looks like the figures show off very well in it.ReplyDelete

AJN's Top 10 Blog Posts for the Last Quarter
At this blog we're not always devoted practitioners of the art of the list. Used too often and too cynically (some of the more mysterious nursing blogs consist entirely of lists of articles and excerpts from other blogs), lists can be just another form of journalistic cannibalism.
But it sometimes occurs to me, as I publish a new post that takes its place at the top of the home page and pushes all those below down another notch (until, after a few such nudges, they gradually fall off the page, entering the purgatory of the blog archives), that this isn't entirely fair.
While blogs allow for quick reaction to a news story, a public health emergency or controversy, a new bit of published research, they are also places for writing that isn't so narrowly tied to a specific date and event. Many thoughtful posts by excellent writers have been published here in the past couple of years. With this in mind, here's a list of the 10 most read blog posts for the past 90 days. It doesn't mean that these are necessarily the very best posts we published in that time, or that they were even published in the last 90 days . . . but it's one way of measuring relevance.—Jacob Molyneux, senior editor/blog editor
1. Dispatches from the Alabama Tornado Zone
This one is actually a page with links to a series of powerful and thought-provoking posts by Susan Hassmiller, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Senior Adviser for Nursing, who volunteered with the Red Cross after the devastating Alabama tornadoes in late April of this year.

Halloween Flash Fiction Event: Boone Brux
Thank you for joining us for this Halloween Flash Fiction Event story from Boone Brux. Along with Boone's story, there's an awesome Grim Reality giveaway, so be sure to check the end of the post! The image is a stock photo from a DeviantART artist who specifically allows it to be used on outside websites, with credit and links posted. Big thanks, to both the author and the artist, for sharing. Now… on to the story…
"Well crap!" I hated when the coffin was empty.
No doubt, that meant more work than I wanted. I'm Lisa and I work for GRS, Grim Reaper Services. They specialize in paperwork and ridding the physical plain of wayward spirits. Normally, I reap stupid people, but tonight was Halloween and basically, a reaping free-for-all.
Ten minutes ago I received a text from HQ giving me the location of an unbound soul. With no other reaper in the area the task fell to me.
My gaze scanned the cemetery. Nothing.
I trudged across the ground, blowing warm breath against my gloved fingers. The frost-covered grass crunched beneath my boots. Where was that ghost?
Faint laughter wafted from behind a small building to my right. It didn't take mad reaper skills to figure out it was teenagers up to some Halloween shenanigans. As I closed in I noticed a dim blue glow coming from the same direction. Maybe my luck had changed. Maybe I'd reap my client and scold some hooligans with one swoop of my scythe. The idea of being home by nine o'clock, sipping a steaming cup of hot chocolate and schnapps took hold and pushed me forward.
Once at the building, I tiptoed to the corner and with a quick jut of my head, I peeked out.
Wait! What?
I poked my head out again and groaned, then stepped into the open. The circle of boys stood, tossing the skeleton of a dog between them. Said dog's spirit was currently engaged in a solo game of keep away at the center.
Seriously, a Chihuahua?
"Hey!" I said. The boys froze and spun to face me. "Where'd you get those bones?"
"Shit!" A tall kid in a hoodie tossed the skeleton into the woods and bolted.
Following suit, his friends scattered into the trees, leaving the dog and me alone.
I sighed. "Well, Spot," I said, for lack of a better name, "What say we finish this so I can go home."
He hunkered down on his front paws and yapped three times, obviously wanting to play.
"No, it's not playtime. It's meet your maker time." I lunged for him, but he darted to the right and out of sight. "Hey!" I jumped to my feet. "Get back here."
I took off after him, hurdling several low gravestones, which was pretty impressive considering I weigh-in on the fluffy side of the scale. Unless the word run was tacked onto beer, I rarely ran if I could help it.
Even as a spirit, Spot was a clever dog. Every move I made, he countered. If I went left, he cut right. If I dove, he'd dodged me seconds before I landed on him. After the fifth time around the cemetery and an ungraceful tumble over Rover McGuff's headstone, I lay on the ground, staring up at the night sky.
"You win!" My chest heaved. "Stay. I don't care." My eyelids shut and I exhaled a breath of defeat. "Just don't make me run anymore."
A low growl, followed by a single yap erupted above me. My lids flew open and I smiled. Spot stood proudly on my chest, his tail wagging a hundred miles an hour. Thankfully spirits were weightless. With a solid lick of his ghostly tongue, he left a moist trail of dog saliva along my cheek.
Before he could make another escape, I clutched him around the ribs and struggled to a stand. As a reaper, my hands are like Velcro to a spirit. Once I touched them, all I had to do was hold on and call my porter. Porters were the guys, who transported the souls to their appointed destination. However, I wasn't sure if my porter was a male or female—or even human.
"Hal." I waited, but as usual he didn't show. Stubborn bastard. "Hal Lee Lewya, come get your soul."
A thin light appeared near the tall obelisk and spread to form an elevator door. It slid open and Hal stood on the other side, dressed from head to toe in purple velvet. He was such a fashion whore.
His gaze ricocheted from me to the dog, and then back to me again. One sculpted brow arched. "I don't transport rats."
I scowled at him. "It's not a rat, it's a Chihuahua." I shoved the dog toward him. "Take it."
"Not if it was the last soul on earth." The dog barked and wagged his tail, making his butt rotate in small circles. Hal pursed his gold-glossed lips and took a step back.
"Are you afraid of it?" I moved closer to the elevator. "Seriously, Hal, he's just a little dog."
"I—" He straightened against my accusation. "Am not afraid of that creature."
"Uhh, I think you are!" I grinned and he glowered back. Watching Hal squirm was fun, but I had an adult beverage and prime time television waiting for me. Realizing Hal had no intentions of cooperating, I took a chance on Spot's doggie spirit and knelt, setting him on the ground. Then I picked up a round rock. "Look what I got." I waved the stone in front of Spot. "Want the ball?" He barked, hopping around like he had with the boys. "Do you want the ball? Yes you do."
"Lisa Carron, what are you doing?" Hal's voice wavered with uncertainty, which was something I rarely got to hear.
"Just doing my job."
With that, I hurled the rock past Hal and into the elevator. Several things happened at once. Spot took off at lightning speed after the rock. Hal fell backward into the elevator while emitting a high-pitched scream, and I laughed.
Before Hal could react, I said, "Our transaction is complete."
Instantly, the elevator door slammed shut and thinned into a line of light, before disappearing.
"That worked rather well." I straightened and hobbled toward my car. "Note to self: Next year call in sick."
About The Author
Boone is a bestselling author in both fantasy and series romance genres. She began writing in an attempt to ward off the slow decomposition of her mental state while taking care of her twin toddlers. It soon became clear that storytelling was her true calling.
Her books range from medieval fantasy, filled with demon's and hot heroes, to humorous paranormal and spicy contemporary romance. Though she loves writing romance, Boone much prefers stories where she gets to kill somebody or blow something up.
She lives in the beautiful and rugged state of Alaska with her husband, two kids, their dog Oreo, and her black cat Velma Underfoot. Not to mention the numerous wild creatures that lounge in her backyard.

No matter how many mirrors are arranged together
When you turn away, do they?
Are they always following you like that?
Or perhaps the opposite is true –
The loss that roots within every gain
Roots grown deep below the parties
Of Florida mangroves

She doesn't want to participate in the mess
All things come to this – she can only run the things.
And run and run and breathe and breathe
But after awhile, everyone has to stop running (which doesn't mean stop breathing)
Though it may translate into growing gills and becoming
These things we thought we shed when we were born.
