What can the history of radio teach us about the present and future of podcasting?
I've been contemplating this question for over two years. I think about it because podcasters like to think what we do is new and novel. We are a group of tinkerers, hobbyists, and professionals who create audio programs that can develop worldwide audiences. We make media more democratic by allowing anyone with a message, microphone, and internet connection to create and broadcast content. We measure statistics to learn about our audience and whether they listen and respond to our calls to action. And we like to tell the world we are inventing new types of media: The branded-content podcast, the serial podcast, and podcasts with native advertisements. Yet none of what we claim as new, is new. It has all happened before in radio.
My professional life keeps me happily immersed in the history of early America, but over the last year, I've embraced a few spare moments to venture into the twentieth century. I've been dabbling in research about the history of radio because I know history is useful and relevant. And yet, I've never heard anyone in podcasting seriously consider how the history of radio has influenced the development of podcasting. Ignoring the past is a mistake. Even in my casual research, I've turned up many interesting connections and similarities between these two media forms.
Radio began as a technology in the 1870s. It grew slowly at first and then rapidly. By 1910, anyone with some money and a bit of engineering know-how could build a crystal radio set and broadcast their message. The popularity of radio and the feeling of community it created, caused hobbyist and professional radio stations to flood the airwaves. In 1921, the United States government licensed twenty-eight stations and assigned them a place on the radio dial. By 1922, over 550 new stations sought a license to broadcast. Meanwhile hundreds and possibly even thousands of "DXers" (the hobbyists) broadcast their messages and preferred audio formats over their homemade sets—in fact, it was a hobbyist in his barn in Pittsburgh who created the first radio music station.
To a certain extent, podcasters have been following in the footsteps of early radio "DXers." Anyone with a bit of time, money, and technical know-how can build an in-home studio, record their message, and upload it the internet so anyone can listen to it. Podcasting also develops communities. Podcasters gather in communities to discuss podcasting. And podcasters create communities of listeners around their favorite podcasts.
The commercial development of podcasts also shares similarities with the commercial development of radio. There is a growing divide in podcasting between independent podcasters and "procasters," podcasters with profession radio experience. A lot of diversity exists among independent podcasters. Some podcast purely as a hobby. Others podcast to build or support businesses. Some seek to create episodes that reflect a high-degree of professionalism in content and audio quality. Others "wing it" and simply record and release episodes. Many independent podcasters fear the professionalization of podcasting because of the competition for listeners, money, and attention it promises to bring into the space.
In contrast, procasters want to see podcasting professionalize. They don't view podcasting as a hobby and they disdain podcasters who "wing it." Procasters recognize that the media is still in its early stages of development. Therefore, they seek to bring their professional radio experience into the space and use it as a competitive advantage. Many procasters hope that they can capitalize on the development of podcasting and, although variations exist within the procaster community, most agree that commercial podcast networks will help control, consolidate, and serve as the core of the media. In this belief, procasters borrow heavily from the history of radio.
When we look at history, we see similar trends in the bifurcation of radio. Radio split between hobbyists and those who sought to commercialize the media. The commercialization of radio began in earnest during the 1930s as corporate networks and the United States government began to regulate the airwaves. Networks formed to produce high-quality audio programs, expand their reach, and make money by doing both. The original "audio stats obsession" began in the late 1930s when the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) hired an Austrian academic to help them define their audience through surveys. Companies like Edison Research, which issues the most widely accepted statistics on podcast listening habits, still rely on the quantitative methods originally tried and tested by this early radio pioneer.
The history of radio is relevant to the present and future of podcasting. And I need to step up my research on this subject because in July, I will be speaking at the largest conference dedicated to podcasting, Podcast Movement. Podcast Movement has emerged as an event where independent podcasters and procasters converge. It's the perfect venue to seriously consider how the history of radio has influenced the development of podcasting and to explore where audio has been as a content form and commercial media so we can develop a true understanding of how and where we can truly innovate in audio.

3D Toy Assembly
3D renders can save time and money, particular when your clients are based overseas. Rather than mail out real mock ups of this folding card, I popped a quick 3D visualisation together to help sell the concept in.

Knowledge is power, right? This is a logo I designed for an online research library.
Sabbatical Request
I'm off to join the circus for a few months (literally), this is a request I submitted to work. I'm very passionate about it, something I tried to convey through the typography and illustrative style.
The Curiosity Case
This is a piece of work in progress, I wanted to create a magical piece of type that wouldn't feel out of place in a fairy tale.
Tybalt's Revenge
I wanted to create a piece of packaging with an old medicinal feel – like something you might find stashed away in your grandfather's attic. This piece is an exercise in 3D modelling and texturing, creating a hyperreal, atmospheric and vintage feel.
Constructed Type
This is a little type experiment based around Copperplate Bold. I designed it with a 3D output in mind – here are a few test compositions.
'C' Party
A few years ago my work threw a party, the theme was, come as something starting with the letter C. Which makes more sense when you know the company was called Chemistry. I wanted to create a set of teaser posters that provided a bit of inspiration. I think that all fonts have a personality, so I dressed a few different ones in a way that suited them.
Mazal Tash!
Random things make for some fun design... A Jewish friend of mine had a Moustache themed party, so I created a few kitsch mo's and badges. (I should have been a model with a face like that, I know).

Can My Landlord Charge Me For Air Conditioning?
Our weather is changing. In particular, Canada is facing more severe climate change than any other nation.
Not long ago we could expect snowy winters and comfortable summers. Due to a lack of carbon taxes in previous years, our weather is now erratic and hard to predict. The build up of carbon due our misuse and waste of fossil fuels is destroying our environment.
One thing is for sure: our summers are getting hotter.
And while wealthy landlords can enjoy their air conditioned houses, dips in their backyard pool, breezing winds while boating, and expensive vacations to avoid the heat, Tenants are left to suffer.
It really reminds me of the excellent Matt Damon movie called Elysium.
In this movie the Earth's environment has been destroyed and hard working common people are suffering. Meanwhile the landlord and other elite live on the moon in perfect luxury, continuing to abuse Earth to pay for their air conditioned lunar homes.
Tenants are the ones paying expensive rents, while landlords collect it and can use it to make sure they personally don't feel the serious impacts of climate change
Tenants Protect Your Rights And Fight Back On A/C Charges!
Many tenants are reporting Landlords are demanding tenants pay $200-$300 dollars in order to operate an air conditioner.
The main question we're getting – is this legal? Let's break it down
1) Landlords can charge a monthly fee to tenants with air conditioners if they have done so every year you've been a tenant, or if this is your first year of tenancy. This fee must be monthly, and must be only for cost recovery for the landlord
2) Landlords are not allowed to charge their tenants a one time fee for an air conditioner. Landlords cannot introduce a charge for something that has been previously included in the rent. A landlord cannot remove something that was previously provided to you
3) Finally, if your landlord is asking for this fee, they will need to go to the Landlord and Tenant Board to enforce it – so do your research before you pay!
It's Time To Make A Maximum Allowed Temperature As Part Of the Residential Tenancy Act
We've been saying this for years. It's time for a maximum temperature in rentals law.
In the winter, landlords are forced by law to maintain the heat. It's time the government amended the RTA to make sure landlords are forced to also maintain a MAXIMUM temperature during the summer.
With Severe Climate Change and Dangerously Hot Summers, Tenants Can Die In Our Homes!
Tenants Be Careful And Fight Like Hell For Your Rights – It's A Matter Of Life And Death! Make Sure You Survive And You And Your Children Don't Die!
As our summers get hotter and hotter all tenants must fight back. What is even scarier is the neo-Cons want to ignore climate change and this means things are going to become Hellish soon. Many experts say we have 12 years before it's all over.
Remember your rights and if the landlord is breaking your rights contact your MPP and the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Fight Back To Survive As Climate Change Makes Our Summer Hotter Than Hell!

Where To Celebrate Oktoberfest In New York CIty
Despite its namesake, Oktoberfest arrives in September and plenty of events kick off the beer-induced extravaganza in New York. From the bratwurst to the beer drinking contests, these are the places to be to celebrate the German festival.
Treadwell Park will be celebrating Oktoberfest at both their Battery Park (301 South End Ave.) and Upper East Side (1125 1st Ave.) locations from September 15 – October 8. This is not your typical Oktoberfest celebration. Instead, your beer tour guide Anne Becerra (NYC's first female beer cicerone) will hand you a passport and take you on a tour of German beer history. Through the different tastes and styles of the various beers as well as gourmet twists on traditional holiday fare, you will take a culinary journey. It's super simple and fun. Drink a beer from Munich, get a stamp on your passport and take a trip to Berlin. And it keeps going until you have hit every region. Once you complete your journey, one-of-a-kind stein to take home awaits. It really is a cultural experience, as much as a celebration.
The Pennsy will kick off the Oktoberfest celebrations with a tapping of the Keg on Sept 16 at 6pm and a live performance by fan favorite German band The Scorpions. Local New York and Pennsylvania as well as German beers will be on special all night and throughout Oktoberfest. On Sept 25, The festivities keep coming with an Oktoberfest take on the age-old Pennsylvania vs New York rivalry in honor of the Philadelphia Flyers vs New York Rangers preseason game. Guests will enjoy live music, beer specials from Philadelphia and New York local beers, a stein hoisting contest and the chance to win tickets to a regular season Flyers vs. Rangers game.
The Watermark Bar hosts three weekends of Oktoberfest starting Friday September 15th, bringing the Munich atmosphere to NYC. There's nothing over $8 on the menu, except for the 1 liter stein beer which are $16. The event is free with the option of a two hour beer tasting for $60, but those who want to attend should reserve their tickets. With live music and a view of the East River, who wouldn't want to attend?
Starting September 16th, Radegast Hall kicks off their Oktoberfest celebration with a ceremonial keg tapping and a pig roast. During the celebration, they have live polka and folk music playing with a DJ on Saturday. And build up those arm muscles ladies and gents, because Radegast also hosts a female/male mug-holding contest.
From the 23rd of September to the 12th of November, the Circle Line is hosting an Oktoberfest cruise. It's 2.5 hours up the Hudson River headed to Bear Mountain State Park filled with Oompah and polka music, German food and beer! The menu features a German Feast Plate with bratwurst, sauerkraut, German potato salad, pork schnitzel, and beer from Warsteiner. At Bear Mountain Park, cruisers have 3 hours to spend before heading back to New York City.
Oktoberfest Under the Manhattan Bridge is hosted by Dumbo Business Improvement District. Held from Oct 6-8, the Archway will transformed into a 'traditional German beer hall' with different performances each night from Melina and the Oompahs and DJ Holzmeister. They'll feature a virtual apple picking photo experience, decorate your own coasters, a menu of bratwurst and pretzels and sauerkraut, as well as beer from Dumbo owned Lighthouse.

Philosophy is a dangerous profession, risking censorship, prison, even death. And no wonder: philosophers have questioned traditional pieties and threatened the established political order. Some claimed to know what was thought unknowable; others doubted what was believed to be certain. Some attacked religion in the name of science; others attacked science in the name of mystical poetry; some served tyrants; others were radical revolutionaries. This historically based collection of philosophers' reflections--the letters, journals, prefaces that reveal their hopes and hesitations, their triumphs and struggles, their deepest doubts and convictions--allow us to witness philosophical thought-in-process. It sheds light on the many--and conflicting--aims of philosophy: to express skepticism or overcome it, to support theology or attack it, to develop an ethical system or reduce it to practical politics. As their audiences differed, philosophers experimented with distinctive rhetorical strategies, writing dialogues, meditations, treatises, aphorisms. Ranging from Plato to Hannah Arendt, with contributions from 44 philosophers (Augustine, Maimonides, AlGhazali, Descartes, Pascal, Leibniz, Voltaire, Rousseau, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein, among others) this remarkable collection documents philosophers' claim that they change as well as understand the world. In her introductory essay, "Witnessing Philosophers," Amelie Rorty locates philosophers' reflections in the larger context of the many facets of their other activities and commitments.

Philosophy: An Innovative Introduction features a unique, engaging approach to introduce students to philosophy. It combines traditional readings and exercises with fictive narratives starring central figures in the history of the field from Plato to Martin Luther King, Jr. The book makes innovative use of compelling short stories from two writers who have prominently combined philosophy and fiction in their work. These narratives illuminate pivotal aspects of the carefully selected classic readings that follow. This gives students two ways to understand the philosophical positions: through indirect argument in fiction and through direct, deductive presentations. Study questions and writing exercises accompany each set of readings and help students grasp the material and create their own arguments.

Are We There Yet?
The closer we get to sunny days, the more my mind drifts to other - more tropical - places. As you may know, it's been 10 years since my last real summer vacation and I think it's definitely time to throw a pity party look into booking a ticket to a sunny destination. That's the downside of (my) expat life: vacation time is used to visit family & friends back home instead of under a palm tree with a coconut in hand.
Thankfully being back on this side of the big pond means that I can now visit family on any random weekend, so now all I need to do is make a decision on one of the 100 destinations on my must-visit-list (Maldives perhaps?)... and perhaps squeeze in a trip to Vancouver too. Until then I keep day dreaming... are we there yet?

What can I say about this special? No seriously, what can I say? It was awesome! Amazing! Crazy fun! Mind-blowing! Revealing! Extraordinary! Fantastic! That last one was the Ninth Doctor's catchphrase.
Now what can I say about the special without giving away any spoilers? As River Song would remind us, we don't want any spoilers we couldn't handle. Well, here's what I can tell you: the Doctor meets up with Impossible Girl Clara for a new slew of fun and adventures…only for UNIT to come by and haul the TARDIS off to the National Gallery (I think that's what it was, because I don't know my English landmarks). Something weird is going on at the museum involving the paintings. What happens next is an epic battle between Zygons, Daleks, Time Lords, and everything in between, all culminating in the Eleventh, Tenth, and the new War Doctor coming together for one great purpose.
Not saying another word on that.
Just be aware that the whole cast was awesome, the story was fun and exciting and had be on the edge of my seat for the whole two hours. You'll laugh, you'll gasp, and you'll cry out with excitement with every twist and turn. If you haven't seen the special, you should go out and see it now. Trust me, your whole Whovian self will be rocked, and your understanding of Doctor Who will forever be changed!
Also, make sure to stick around after the credits. You'll see a preview of what's to come for the Christmas special, where Matt Smith turns into Peter Capaldi…and much, much more will occur. Spoilers!
I'm giving The Day of the Doctor a 5 out of 5. Thanks so much for a very fun afternoon…even if at the viewing event I didn't win the sonic screwdriver in the raffle. Oh well. I got two T-shirts (one from a trivia contest) and I can probably get the sonic through Amazon.
All for now. I'll write another post later. Allons-y!

The U.S. Supreme Court has been urged to review a case brought against JPMorgan Chase by a former CNN journalist held hostage in Lebanon during the 1980s so it can correct the Second Circuit's alleged error in affirming a decision not to order the release of $3.18 million in funds tied to Iran.
The high court should clarify that the Second Circuit erred by affirming the Southern District of New York's determination that money in a frozen account held by JPMorgan Chase Bank NA should not be transferred to Jeremy Levin to partly satisfy a $28.8 million judgment against Iran that the former CNN Beirut bureau chief secured in 2008, according to the Tuesday petition for certiorari.
While the money in the account was flagged because of its ties to Bank Saderat Iran — a bank based in Tehran, Iran — JP Morgan argued that it cannot release the funds to Levin and his wife, Lucille Levin, because the entity that actually transferred the money was Lloyds Bank PLC, a correspondent bank for Saderat, according to the Second Circuit's October opinion.
The Supreme Court should close the loophole created by the Second Circuit in its decision, which the Levins assert allows terrorists to effectively funnel and launder money through U.S. banks as long as the entity that deals with a U.S. bank is not considered a terrorist.
"This court should grant certiorari to clarify the rules of ownership of property where the means of transmittal of blocked funds of a sanctioned party and originator of funds is by [electronic funds transfer], under [the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act], the [Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act], and federal common law," the petition reads.
Jeremy Levin was kidnapped in 1984 by individuals with alleged ties to Iran, according to court documents. He escaped from captivity approximately one year later, according to the documents.
"New York banks want to hold onto funds no matter where they come from or where they are going," said Suzelle Smith, an attorney representing the Levins, in a statement. "This is the reason JPMorgan is fighting to deny the Levins' access to the blocked assets, so the monies stay in the bank. It doesn't matter to the banks that this is money laundering by terrorists."
Counsel for JPMorgan could not be reached for comment on Thursday.
The Levins are represented by Suzelle M. Smith and Don Howarth of Howarth & Smith.
JPMorgan was represented in the Second Circuit by Steven B. Feigenbaum of Katsky Korins LLP.
The case is Levin et al. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, case number unavailable, before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Australia´s CBA H1 cash profit falls, hit by money-laundering lawsuit charges
By Paulina Duran
SYDNEY Feb 7 (Reuters) - Commonwealth Bank of Australia posted a surprise drop in first-half cash profit, weighed down by A$575 million ($454 million) in regulatory costs largely related to an anti-money laundering lawsuit that is likely to further overshadow results.
Australia's biggest mortgage lender reported on Wednesday a 2 percent fall in cash profit for the six months ended Dec. 31 to A$4.74 billion from the same year-ago period, trailing expectations for a 5 percent rise by seven analysts polled by Reuters.
Cash profit, a measure that excludes one-offs and non-cash accounting items, is closely watched by investors.
"We recognise, and regret, that these costs arise from our failure to meet some standards that we should have," outgoing Chief Executive Ian Narev said in a statement.
These costs, Narev later explained to analysts, were unlikely to be a one-off expense and said he expected CBA's profits, and the entire industry, to be affected by regulatory charges "for a while, in one shape or form".
CBA is embroiled in a federal lawsuit that alleges the bank had overseen tens of thousands of breaches of anti-money laundering rules.
Narev announced his retirement amid mounting calls for his resignation following the allegations and last month, CBA said Matt Comyn, the head of its retail banking unit, would become CEO.
CBA booked an A$375 million expense to pay civil penalties and legal fees related to the money-laundering claims and an A$200 million provision for further expected costs related to regulatory, compliance and remediation programs.
The provisions come ahead of a government enquiry into misconduct into the financial sector due to start next week, and as CBA defends itself against a separate lawsuit alleging it of manipulating a key interest rate to profit at the expense of customers.
Apart from the regulatory costs, the first-half result was "operationally fine", said Omkar Joshi, portfolio manager at Regal Funds Management which owns CBA shares.
The stock has shed about 19 percent so far from its 2015 peak. It traded slightly lower on Wednesday among broader market gains of 1.1 percent.
CBA's net interest margin, a key gauge of profitability that measures the difference between interest costs and interest earned, rose 6 basis points to 2.16 percent during the period, as its retail bank benefited from more expensive mortgages and lower rates paid to depositors.
UBS banking analyst Jonathan Mott, however, said the retail unit's 3 percent profit margin might not be "appropriate", echoing concerns by a government advisory body published on Wednesday.
Australia's so-called Big Four banks have raked large profits from controversial increases in mortgage prices on interest-only and investment home loans in response to regulators' concerns about home-price bubbles.
CBA declared an interim dividend of A$2 a share, up one Australian cent from a year ago.
Impairment charges were 20 percent higher from the previous half to A$596 million, mainly driven bad loans in its institutional arm, that UBS said includes an exposure to embattled British support services and construction group Carillion..
Narev declined to comment on whether the losses were related to an exposure to Carillion.

Is Prison Ministry Worth Doing?
Ecclesiastes 4: 13
"Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take warning. The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty in the kingdom. I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth…"
Yes, there are leaders in prison that can return to their neighborhoods and lead many to a relationship with Christ. By attending a regular Bible study while in prison the return rate of inmates drops from 78% to around 20%. God is in the business of transforming hearts and minds through His word.

This is a series of posts that give you a better idea of who I am. I found the idea from Living off Love and Coffee's blog post but instead of 30 days, I'm only committing to 20. I Googled to see if there were another origins for this idea and found many '30 days of me' posts but this one I liked the most so here we go!
Day 9 - Something you are proud of from the last few days
Myself, along with three other fabulous ladies, planned a kick-ass Christmas party for our company. Planning a party is on top of our regular jobs and we could have done a halfhearted job because we are all busy.
Our little committee just clicked and we got the job done and had fun in the process. The party was a super success. It was a 20s themed night with casino games, dancing and great food. We were a bit nervous to try a theme but in the end almost everyone dressed up and those that didn't were able to join in with accessorizes at the party.
It was also a success because the organizing committee was also able to have fun due to the fabulous restaurant, DJ and support from the casino guys. So often if you plan the party it's difficult to relax and enjoy but in this case it was a "win win win".

Nursery workers, grandmas, foster parents, caregivers and (of course) mamas - listen up!
It might seem like what you're doing isn't THAT big of a deal. It might feel like ANYONE can change diapers or give bottles or rock a baby. And yes, to some extent, that's true. But you are doing so much more than JUST meeting physical needs.
When you choose to love an infant well: singing that quiet song, using that dorky voice, smiling in that silly way, reading that repetitive book, or feeding that messy snack - you are displaying God's love.
You are validating that child's God-given worth.
You are doing something humble with great impact.
You are shaping the brain and heart of a human being.
This isn't just any old work. This is kingdom work.
Each Christlike action towards that infant is like a valuable jewel being placed in the treasure-chest of the heart. The real investment doesn't begin later, the riches are adding up now.
It's not for us to say whether or not that child will someday notice and accept these riches, available to them in Christ, but we can certainly help lay the best possible foundation for that child to later hear and receive the gospel.
So next time you are with that sweet infant, make the little investments and trust God to do the rest. Your love matters, because it points to the greatest love they can ever experience.
If you're curious about how and why it matters to be intentional with your infant, check out Episode 33 | Intentional Motherhood Starts at Day One.

The MAC Bronze Cream Colour Base is a metallic bronze cream based product that can be used as an eyeshadow, an eyeshadow base or a cream highlighter. On dark skin, this bronze cream product catches the light to give a pearlescent glow for a sun-kissed effect.
Where To Buy
I might be exaggerating – and chances are I am – but it is difficult to find a good quality, true bronze, cream product. MAC Bronze Cream Colour Base has been a repeat purchase for me for many years as it is a very versatile product that is so easy to apply and even easier to blend.
When I first bought this product many moons ago, I used to use it as an eyeshadow base -like MAC intended – but as my makeup taste and knowledge has evolved over the years, I now use the MAC Cream Colour Base in Bronze as a cream highlighter.
As a highlighter, I get about 7 hours wear from the MAC Bronze Cream Colour Base which is great
Brand Description
The MAC Bronze Cream Colour Base is an creamy, emollient based cream with a unique formula allows product to be applied directly on bare skin, eyes and lips as can be layered over foundation, moisturiser or powder.
The Cream Base is versatile enough to used as a light veil or built up for highly dramatic effect, depending on method of application. Fragrance-free.

Most of us plan a trip with family members and friends once in a while but on a tight budget schedule. In such cases, it is necessary that we cut down on some needs so that we can focus on some important things that should be done when in any vacation destination. Here are some tips for you to enjoy a budget-friendly trip to Bangkok, when in Thailand.
Eat Food in Food Courts and Streets
Every food tour website that you check about Bangkok will suggest you try some food items from roadside vendors and also from food courts. You will not only get to enjoy some tasty dishes while in Bangkok but can also meet people belonging to different ethnicity in a single place.
Avoid Meter-less Taxis
Every taxi that you take in Bangkok should be installed with a meter so that you will pay right for your trip in the city. Some drivers do not follow this rule and will have come up with their own set of taxi fare for different places. Hence, never ride in a taxi where there is no meter installation.
Pratunam Malls – Right Place for Shopping
If you enjoy shopping in budget-friendly places, then Pratunam mall is an ideal place. You will get to purchase some exclusive set of items and clothing from the mall for your dear ones back home. Some of the food tours Bangkok add the mall as one of the places that they take you on the trip.
Avoid Tuk-Tuk Drivers with Tuxedo Shop Suggestions
There are some Tuk-Tuk drivers who work in alliance with some of the tux shops in the city. If you find your driver suggesting you visit some tux places in Bangkok, then it is best to avoid such rides. The drivers will get some discount in these shops and even some vouchers for gas filling stations. You can learn about such tuk-tuk rides when you are on your Bangkok food tours.

When we took Mia's garden portraits this week, Daddy (Daniel) had to work
late. So we rescheduled a family shoot for today. The park was beautiful
as the sun was starting to set. We were able to get some pretty sweet shots.
I loved the purple and orange mixed with the lime green grass...their
colors just popped!

Mia's Garden Portraits
Mia, Mommy and I met at the Rose Garden on Cultural Parkway
in Cape Coral to take a few pix of Ms. Mia. She was quite the
explorer, walking and checking out the flowers. The weather
was beautiful...although not as beautiful as her!
If you would like to see more images of Mia in the Garden, check
back in about 10 days. See you then!
Mortenson Family Portraits
I met the Mortenson Family at Jaycee Park for a few portraits on Saturday
afternoon. When we got there, the park was full of people attending a fair
at the park. The good news is, we had some great background music during
our session. Dad even took a few moments out to dance with his two
lovely daughters.
The Mortenson family had a great time laughing and playing throughout
the shoot. It was no problem getting a smile out of them. Check back in
10 days to view their online gallery.

Brown-Lopez Family Portraits
Tina Brown has been looking forward to getting her family together to
take a portrait for several months. She said she was a small girl when
the last one was done.
The one thing that she wanted was to make the photo shoot fun and
not stressful. We did our best to accomodate. The weather was a bit
fickle, so we made the best of the on and off again rain.
We started out by taking a few studio portraits, and when the rain
passed we went to Jim Jeffers Park in Cape Coral for some outdoor
fun! The park is very colorful and large enough to take some great
family shots.
Check back in about 10 days to view the rest of their pix!

Family Portraits
Sisters Babs and Briska set up their family portraits a couple of
months ago. We were going to take the pictures outside.
Unfortunately, just before the shoot time, it started to rain.
Instead of wasting new hairdoos and everyone in the same place
at the same time; we came into the studio to take their pix.
In about 90 minutes we had our large family shot, sub families,
individuals and a few select photos. They did a great job!
Check back in about 10 days to view their gallery!

Kurveball Band!
Buddy and I met the band Kurveball (David, Brandon & Blaine)
out in the Pine Island area to take some pix. We had a great time
finding nooks and crannies on the island to take pictures.
Aside from a little trespassing to get a shot of a primo sunset we pretty
much stayed out of trouble.
If you would like to read more about the band and hear their sound go to
www.kurveballband.com or visit their MySpace www.myspace.com/kurveballband

Port Arthur, Texas DISASTER RELIEF TEAM!
In about 2 hours Buddy will be leaving for Port Arthur,
Texas with 8 others from Grace Church to aid the victims
of Hurricane Ike. They will be working with Samaritan's
Purse and Billy Graham's Rapid Response team in this
deployment. Buddy's task will be two fold; one is to
do whatever he is asked to do to help clean up and the
other is to document the mission with photography.
He'll be sending back some photos via his phone for
us to see this week; then when he returns we'll get to
see the pix he took with his camera. We'll post them
in a gallery or video. Please pray for them as they
travel and work this next week.
Pray for our son; he cried this evening when he
realized he wasn't going to see daddy in the morning.
Even though Buddy knows he is supposed to go; it
definately tugged at his heart.
We look forward to sharing more!
Tonya, Buddy & Oakland

I am usually very clear that I hate 3D movies and usually refuse to see them, but I guess I will have to make an exception for the upcoming Argento Flick; Dracula 3D. Argento's re-imagining of Stokers Dracula could prove to be quite the amazing little movie. Rutger Hauer is set to play Van Helsing the famous Vampire Hunter. Argento + Hauer = Greatness? Only time will tell.
I am definitely a huge Argento fan, owning most of all of his movies, and who isn't a fan of such movies as The Hitcher & Blade Runner featuring Hauer?
The film is set to begin filming in May in Budapest, Hungary.
Will this be on your list of movies to watch?

But there are developers who are listening to needs of Apple Costumers. In this article, I will present 4 software applications which makes your life easy and you can easily transfer media.

The First One
Welcome to the first blog from On the Ridge! Here we are hoping to share with you some projects, tips and insights from our little corner of Southwestern Ontario. If you have anything you'd like to see here, please let us know!
I tried and tried to think of the best way to start this blog. There are so many things that we are hoping to share with you here, but the first post almost felt like the most important post (you know what they say about first impressions). It was a really scary decision and to be frank, I didn't think I would ever make the right one. Then, it came to me, just like that... what better way to start the blog for a space that hosts celebrations of love then to tell you about the moment I knew I was in love with Sydenham Ridge.
The first time I was here, at Sydenham Ridge, was in October of 2015. I came out with my sister-in-law to check it out during a photoshoot that was happening on site and if you knew my sister-in-law Sarah, you'd know, she's always trying to get into some kind of hijinks. We weren't here long when she convinced me to take a golf cart through the trails. So off we went, Sarah driving (just a point to note, Sarah's car driving is questionable and her golf cart driving doesn't fair much better) and I, with my camera, holding on for dear life.
The trails were a bit over run, and the leaves had started to fall, but it was a beautiful sunny day and we were just having a really great time gabbing about the space, and just life in general when we turned a corner. And were faced with this…
The pine forest.
It took my breath away, like really did (In all honesty, I initially thought it was the quick stop that Sarah had made, but then realized that it was the way the light peaked through the trees that was doing it to me). I think our drive through that section of the property was the quietest the two of us had ever been together, but it was just so peaceful and glowy and stunning. Luckily I was in the right state of mind to take a few photos!
It wasn't long after we started hosting events that the appeal of the forest caught on and I'm not surprised! It has quickly become a favourite amongst our couples and photographers. In fact, some of our favourite pictures taken at Sydenham were taken in the pine forest.
When it comes right down to it, I think what I love most about the pine forest is that it really just is so encompassing of Sydenham Ridge in general. It's elegant, rustic and serene. And also, really really cool.

text: Water is probably the most important resource on Earth. We need water to grow and stay alive. Another way, we can't forget the live beings need water to survive. According to an ONU report from 2006 (http://www.unesco.org/water/wwap/wwdr2/) the world population is wasting the water resources of the planet in an unsustainable rhythm without precedents, what needs to be rapidly stopped if we wish to avoid a global disaster. Thousand people don't have access to potable water; in our countries the most effluents are simply poured in the water courses, without treatment. Thousand children die every day as victims of polluted water all over the world. The 4th edition of the World Water Development Report (WWDR4) will be launched on March 2012 and encourage all society to be more responsible action by all water users (http://www.unesco.org/new/en/natural-sciences/environment/water/wwap/wwdr/wwdr4-2012/). We must think about these data. It's essential that our young people understand we need to save water and to keep its quality in the acceptable limits to ensure life in the Earth. Water must be a shared responsibility. So, we want that the students, and consequently the school and local community, adopt a more positive attitude towards the water, starting to have an active role in the promotion of environmental quality and the sustainable development.At the same time that the students work out the environmental aspects and realise the main dangers for the environment it is also aimed to arouse in them the taste for the other European languages and also the importance to communicate with other peoples in order to establish a true European citizenship. We will develop this project using the web 2.0 and the eTwinning platform to promote a real cooperative work among our team (Comenius Project was aproved).

I can't count how many times I have been asked if Mrs. AE is going back to work after maternity leave. It is one of the first 3 questions people ask me after I tell them we have a baby on the way*. Two pregnancies, same questions. I figured since so many people that I normally don't talk to are interested, it was worth putting our thoughts and reasoning to paper. So……….Can we afford to be a single income family?
*Other two questions:
- Boy or Girl?
- What's the due date?
"Is your wife going back to work" is the odd one out. It comes up more often than "How is your wife feeling" especially from my fellow male co-workers. She is growing a fricken kid dude!
Related: We are going to be DINKWADS
Side note: I have never been asked if I am coming back to work after we have a child. Not once. To be fair, people that know me might assume that I wouldn't consider being a stay at home dad (they wouldn't be wrong either, I'm not sure I have the patience to take care of two kids all day every day). They may also assume that I make more than Mrs. AE (which is also correct), but to assume those details without facts to back them up bothers me.
Can we afford to be a single income family?
Before we go any further, staying home wasn't on the table for me, I didn't need to check any math or think about it longer than half a second. There is a big enough gap in our salaries that taking mine out of the equation wasn't going to work. Mrs. AE is a few years behind me career wise and doesn't enjoy the perks (mainly flexibility) of working on a technology team, even though she has killed it the last 4 years.
Immediate Financial Impact
Not going to beat around the bush, the financial implications played a big part in our decision. The Immediate financial impact is pretty easy to figure out. What are you going to save if someone stays at home vs how much income/financial benefits are you sacrificing.
I have thought a lot about it and can't think of any significant financial savings beyond childcare, commuting costs and the extra car seat we purchased to leave with our family member (taking those big ass car seats in and out of the car is not happening every day).
In our case, if Mrs. AE continues to work we come out over $40K ahead vs if she stayed home with our current child. Since we just announced we have number 2 on the way, assuming our childcare costs would double we would still be $31,700 ahead.
$41,000 is dangerously close to the amount we save every year, that means if Mrs. AE stopped working we would completely stall our Financial Independence plans. It wouldn't even be a possibility, we would be looking a normal retirement age.
So technically, the answer is yes. We can afford to be a single income family. BUT, we are choosing to remain dual income and maintain our Financial Independence path.
Things to consider
- Have to look at the after-tax income for the spouse that would no longer be working.
- Depending on how in-depth you want to go, you could look at Tax Savings if you were previously contributing to a 401K plan.
- I listed insurance because it is possible for each person to have their own plan and would need to consolidated
- Other benefits – Dental, life insurance, disability to name a few that we get from our employer.
Long-Term Financial Impact
The short-term financial impact is fairly easy, but the long-term impact can be dizzying. We need to look at the long-term impacts of our decision
Investment Growth
We are in a unique situation that the amount we would be giving up is close to how much we save every year. The investment growth of $41,000/year is staggering.
Even if you save $10,000, per year and would no longer be able to do it, the financial long-term financial implication kicks ya in the pants. That $10,000 turns into a $100,000 in 30 years at an 8% interest rate. Take that times 5 and it's a big fricken deal.
Salary Growth
I have shared this before, but the compounding effect on your income is real, and skipping 5+ years has a significant impact downstream impact:
Starting at 40K – 5% raise each year
From $40K to $65,155.79 in ten years and it only gets better from there……..
Non-Financial Impacts
Obviously, this isn't a purely financial decision. We are weighing money against time with our child and that shouldn't be taken lightly. Below are the factors that we considered and thankfully a lot of them worked out in favor of both of us going back to work.
Work Load/Flexibility
We both have full-time salaried careers but do not typically work over 40 hours/week. When we do it is nothing insane, 45 is the highest we have gone in a long time. If we were both putting in 50-60 hour work weeks leaving very little family time (especially during the hours' babies are actually awake) it would make this a harder decision.
I don't know how to value this point, but if we went to a single income family I would feel obligated to work harder to earn more, which would actually reduce the amount of time I had to be with Little AE. So 1 person would get to spend a ton of time with the kiddos and the other would be trying to bust ass to make more.
Child Care
We are lucky to have a family member watching our child at a very reasonable rate! There is definitely a trust factor when you have someone taking care of your child for 9+ hours a day and it makes it a lot easier having someone we know.
If we were paying upwards of $18,000 year, to have strangers taking care of our kid. It could have swayed this decision significantly. Especially if we had to 2X that cost in 6 months.
Time Impact
This is the biggest item (outside of one of getting to be with our child 100% of the time) that goes against our decision, the time savings would be huge. Just taking drop off and pick up off the table would be 40 minutes/workday. The stay at home spouse could also take care of all the errands we end up running on the weekend and keep the house cleaner.
It's Your Decision
We decided the financial impacts were too big to ignore, thankfully our workload and childcare situation ease the pain leaving our kid(s) 5 days a week. Maybe your situation doesn't work out as favorably in the math department or your employer doesn't allow you to be flexible with your schedule. I don't judge anyone on either side of this equation, but please. please. please. looks at it through every lens and make sure you are ok with both the current and future implications.
