While the Falcons-Patriots faceoff or the halftime show might be the most important part of Super Bowl Sunday for some people, we at H2H Consulting were focusing on the commercials in between the game.
With companies shelling out millions of dollars to be featured during this time frame, means that the ads are at the top of their game.
So let's take a look at what we consider some of best Super Bowl 51 ads, and why they made our Top 6 List.
- NFL's 'Inside These Lines': The two-sided nature of this ad is what appeals to us. The videos show parts of football games, which is really what we're here to watch, while the dialogue reminds us that we may be different, but we are all American.
- National Geographic's 'Genius': Not only is this ad relevant since Lady Gaga played the Halftime Show, but also it showed a true Genius (look-a-like), which is the name of NatGeo's new TV show.
- Clean's 'Cleaner of Your Dreams': The reason this ad made our list isn't because its content or celebrities, but because it is memorable. Ask people what ad they remember, and it's likely to be the one where Mr. Clean gets a little action.
- Budweiser's 'Born the Hard Way': This ad shows the American Dream in its purest form; an immigrant coming to America and enduring hardships, only to create one of the most loved beer companies in the country. When you think of Budweiser, you think of America.
- Skittle's 'Romance': With Valentine's Day approaching, people all around are thinking of romance. Skittles is trying to get people to think of their product instead of choosing chocolate this February. And the ridiculous cast of characters, including a burglar, cop, and groundhog adds humor and is a nice break from some of the more serious ads.
- Airbnb's 'We Accept': We couldn't write this list without including this ad. It's touching and the meaning behind it is vital in today's environment. This was truly an exceptional and memorable ad.
While these ads resonated with the team here at H2H Consulting they may not have resonated with you and that's okay. Think about who the target audience is for each ad and if you aren't in that target, it wasn't meant for you.
When you are creating an advertisement for your company or product, it must stay true to your brand and who you are. The more it conveys your brand's spirit, the more it will resonate with your target audience. While we enjoyed the ads above, the true test is whether or not they achieve the goals the companies created them for.
If you're looking to make your own advertisements more memorable, you can contact Kendra Corman at email@example.com for help.

At the end of January, the number of unbundled lines stands at 6.4 million. There are 6.02 million WLR lines and the number of telephone numbers using CPS is 3.66 million.
As we enter a new calendar year it is worth reflecting on the progress we have made in recent times, and to look a little bit forward to the aspirations we have for the New Year.
Looking back, significant progress has been made by industry in respect of developments on EMP, to the extent that priorities were identified, Openreach committed to deliver them, a formal change control process with industry participation is in place and working and those commitments are on schedule. Some of the very important items that required greater consideration in defining their scope, such as Documentation improvements, are now much more mature and progressing well. They are reported upon in more detail within this update.
We have agreed with Industry to combine the previously separate Fora dealing with LLU and WLR into a 'Copper Products' forum. As the previously separate groups have many subjects of common interest it is believed that better progress can be achieved as a single entity. Also, the former Openreach Ethernet Forum has evolved to become the Connectivity Services Commercial group under independent chairmanship and good progress is being made in addressing open issues.
We have just about completed our work in assisting with the implementation of Displaced Mobile Emergency calls (999 roaming) and the new processes are in place and working well.
Looking into the near term future, we are heavily involved in reviewing the existing Consumer migration processes to try to identify improvements that would benefit both industry and consumers, we are working with the Number Portability Commercial group to look for potential improvements to number migration processes, and we are working with Openreach and others to seek improvements in Customer address records with the aim of reducing the level of customer migrations that do not go smoothly. We hope all these items contribute to a better consumer experience when moving between suppliers or relocating.
Product Development Roadmap
WLR2 Withdrawal
Openreach have presented the full 'sunset' plan for withdrawal of the WLR2 platform.
A number of key points are highlighted:
For the avoidance of doubt the 2 Key milestones are:
Minimum Security Standard
The NICC Minimum Security Standard (ND1643) has been published and can be downloaded via the following link; http://www.niccstandards.org.uk/publications/llu_spec.cfm .
NGNuk are also working to develop a certification scheme in association with UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) to support the standard.
The Code of Practice (CoP), committing CPs to the full implementation of the Minimum Security Standard (ND1643) has now been signed by 11 major CPs/LLUOs. The task of OTA2 is now to work with those CPs that have signed the CoP, to monitor and report on progress towards implementation. The previously agreed task for the OTA2 of widening the scope of signatories to the CoP also remains a priority.
Displaced Mobile Emergency Calls
As previously reported the service is operational on four of the five networks.
The fifth network operator is planning to implement the LSS functionality on their network, which provides the 999 Roaming facility, by the end of March.
Connectivity Services - Product development issues
As reported in the last update, at the OTA2 Executive meeting in December Openreach presented a strategic plan to review the Ethernet Aggregation products. The plan has not progressed at the pace hoped for and OTA2 are awaiting the CP engagement phase to commence. The principles of the plan have been very well received by the CP community and they are anxious to make progress.
A document capturing the base principles of the BCMR has been written by the OTA2 and is with OFCOM for agreement before circulation to Openreach and the Ethernet CP community.
Connectivity Services Process Group (CSPG)
This forum provides an excellent opportunity for CPs to collaborate directly with Openreach process design experts in validating the solutions proposed for new functionality in upcoming products, before they progress to the development stage. Additionally, for new requirements, these groups will develop the initial 'User Journey Stories' which Openreach designers need before they can progress their solution designs.
WLR & LLU Industry Groups combined
Following a review led by the OTA2, the commercial and process industry groups for LLU and WLR, have now been combined:-
This recognises the maturity of both of the LLU and WLR products, the heavy demand on resources required from CPs to attend all the working groups across WLR and LLU, and the relationship to the existing combined product Service Forum and Migration Planning board.
The first meetings have now been held and will now be groomed to meet Industry needs.
Service Levels
Our KPI charts show current performance levels.
OTA2 will continue to focus on:

Considering a Refinance on Your Property in Regina?
Most money-savvy homeowners know they should look around for a better deal when their mortgage is due for renewal. For many homeowners, this means changing lenders or the terms of the mortgage entirely. This process is called mortgage refinancing, and First Foundation makes it simple in Regina.
What is Mortgage Refinancing?
Mortgage refinancing is when you borrow money from a new lender or from a different program under your current lender to pay off your old mortgage. You are essentially replacing your old mortgage with a new one when you refinance.
Reasons to Refinance
One of the main reasons Regina homeowners refinance is to save money. Current rates are at an all-time low and if you aren't shopping around at mortgage renewal time, you could be missing out on tens of thousands of dollars in savings on your mortgage. Refinancing is also a good option for those wanting to pay off their mortgage sooner. Just let us know what your timing is like, and First Foundation will find rates and terms for you that will help you pay down your mortgage faster. Retirement, downsizing, and job loss can mean a requirement for a lower monthly mortgage payment. This is possible with mortgage refinancing on your Regina home.
Submit an Application for a Refinance Today >>
Debt Consolidation and Mortgage Refinancing
One of the most common questions our clients have at renewal time is if they can roll debt payments into a new mortgage. This is always possible, and can simplify your life by rolling auto payments and other loan payments into your mortgage. Many car and other loans allow you to pay off the loan at any time with no buyout penalty, so you save on future high interest payments.
Have Some Debt you Would Like to Consolidate? Lets talk >>
Banks Make it Hard to Refinance Your Mortgage
The big banks know that better options are out there for buyers. TD Canada Trust was recently exposed by CBC Marketplace for their practice of only selling collateral mortgages. This type of mortgage does not allow the buyer to easily switch their mortgage at renewal time due to other financing that is attached to the mortgage. Even with the costs involved in moving, the interest saved over the term of your mortgage may make moving a wise choice. Your mortgage broker will be happy to do the math for you and tell you if it works out in your favour.
Mortgage Brokers Make it Easy to Refinance
With the new Canadian mortgage rules introduced in 2012, some buyers can find it hard to refinance with another lender at renewal time, a position which leaves most banks rubbing their hands together like a collection of eager Scrooges. First Foundation knows the go-to lenders and financial institutions that can help you refinance at renewal time, and get you a deal on your mortgage refinancing that your bank just can't.
Contact us today to get the best deal on refinancing your Regina home.

Maryland student charged after teacher eats pot brownie
(CBS DC) ANNAPOLIS, Md. – A Broadneck High School teacher was feeling ill when another teacher noticed she was not acting normal — turns out, she had accidentally eaten a brownie laced with marijuana.
Officers, and an ambulance, responded to the school around 1 pm. Monday. Further investigation revealed that the teacher was brought to the nurse's office by a fellow teacher after they noticed she was feeling ill and acting disoriented.
The teacher then told the School Resource Officer that a student had given her a brownie during third period and she had reason to believe it was a "marijuana brownie."
The student has been arrested, and identified as a 17-year-old junior. A 16-year-old female student, who was later determined to be the girlfriend of the suspect, was observed to be acting lethargic as well.
Police say the suspect admitted that he gave the teacher and his girlfriend the brownie and that the brownie contained marijuana. The suspect revealed that he got scared and panicked when the teacher asked for a piece of the brownie, so he didn't mention it contained marijuana.
The teacher was treated and released at a local hospital. Police say there is no indication that the suspect's girlfriend and the teacher knew the brownies that contained marijuana.
The suspect was charged with CDS administer marijuana, CDS distribution, second-degree assault and reckless endangerment on juvenile citations. He was released to a guardian.
Broadneck Principal David Smith sent a letter to parents on Monday explaining the incident and urging parents to tell their children to only eat food they bring themselves or buy at school. Officials say the student is facing school discipline as well.

Second Body Practice | WMC Study Group | Volunteer Opportunities | Other Information
The latest round of Second Body Practice has three periods scheduled each year: January thru April, May thru August and September thru December..
Second Body Practice is a wonderful way for us to strengthen our mindfulness practice and build deeper relationships with one another. Everyone wishing to participate will be paired with one partner. You and your partner will take turns listening to and supporting each other in your practices as second bodies. The two of you will designate a time each week in which you mindfully listen to your partner and a time that your partner listens to you.
It is very important that you are willing and committed to maintain regular contact with your partner throughout this four-month period. If you are likely to be hard to reach or simply unable to make this commitment, please seek other ways to strengthen your practice and refrain from signing up at this time. It is also important that you refrain from initiating any form of dating relationship with your second body partner during this period.
If you wish to take part in this practice, please send name, address, email, and phone number to Steve Sidley or Second Body.
Partners will be assigned shortly before each session begins, and there
will be an opportunity for you to meet your partner face-to-face after the
sitting at the Vihara on the Sunday beginning each session. Thus, we ask that
you plan to attend the sitting that evening, if possible. If you have any questions about the practice please call Steve Sidley at (301)655-2605 or (301)897-3648.

WMC study groups allow practitioners to form smaller sanghas, for
discussion and mutual support, within the larger sangha in the Washington DC area. Meeting 6 times over a three month period, members have an opportunity for rich and deep personal sharing on topics central to the practice of mindfulness.
The WMC invites you to take part in our study groups, which take place in the Spring and Fall each year. The groups typically meet every week or every other week on an agreed-upon night at an agreed-upon location, for a total of six meetings. It is important that each participant be able to attend at least 5 of the 6 meetings.
To register or for more information please call Steve Sidley at (301)655-2605 or (301)897-3648.
Past Topics/Study Groups
Here are the topics and books used since the first study group:
If you are seeking an opportunity to offer service in the wider community, consult our list of volunteer opportunities, which includes sangha and organizational contacts.
The WMC recently learned a new song, Watering Seeds of Joy, which we will continue to try out over coming weeks, in gratitude to the monks and nuns at Plum Village for writing it. Check out this link to a video of Watering Seeds of Joy.

Driver's Ed: Winning employers accentuate the positive
So I'm standing outside one of the most universally detested places in the known world. You guessed it: the DMV. Next to my dentist's office, I can think of nowhere I'd less like to be. You can tell I'm at the DMV by the long lines, the generally morose, fatalistic look on people's faces (employees and clients alike), and the battered '70s furniture that looks like it could survive a nuclear holocaust. It's not exactly a "Disney moment" for me, but not because of any of the above—in fact, I hardly notice any of it.
You see, I'm waiting for my teenage daughter to return from her driving test. So, instead of observing my surroundings, I'm pacing back and forth, wearing a rut between two columns in front of the building—doing my best impression of a George Romero zombie—imagining all the things that might be going wrong.
Which is silly. My daughter and I have logged numerous (dare I say, endless) hours practicing, hours in which she's performed admirably. Sure, she's made a few mistakes along the way, but none of them drastic, and she's learned from each of them. She's smart, capable and ready. In fact, if I'm honest with myself, I know she's going to be fine…but then the dad genes kick in and I begin pacing again.
In the middle of my 87th trip across the entryway, I feel a tapping on my shoulder, and turn to see my daughter, beaming, with the form in her hand bearing the word "PASS" in bold Sharpie letters. After a hug that nearly knocks me over, I of course say, "I knew you could do it!"
And I did.
And she knew I did.
Sure, I had concerns, even worries; but at the end of the day, I was confident in her, and, more importantly, I had let her know it…repeatedly. In fact, I'm sure she got tired of me saying, "I know you can do this" whenever she had doubts or began to struggle. I knew she needed to develop confidence in herself, or she'd never make it.
Henry Ford once famously said, "Whether you think you can or cannot, either way you are right." Numerous studies since then have proven him right. Yet managers and leaders persist in supporting systems and cultures that focus on criticism, control and negative feedback, systems that erode employee self-esteem and are built on the expectation of the worst.
The sad thing is that these systems—and the management styles that support them—are indeed self-fulfilling prophecies.
Witness perceptions about young women and math. In general, despite advances over the years, there is still a general perception, in society—but more importantly in school—that females are simply "not good" at math. Try Googling the topic and you will find no less than a dozen studies (Columbia University, The Journal of Educational Psychology, et al.) that show that this perception virtually ensures its own accuracy by undermining the confidence of young women in this regard. They "know" they're not supposed to be good at math; so, strangely enough, they aren't.
Before Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile in 1954, it had been generally assumed that it was physiologically impossible. After all, it had never been done in recorded sports history. Yet within three years of Bannister achieving this "impossible" feat, 16 other runners had done the same. It's clear that once runners had the confidence to know they could do it (or more precisely, no longer felt they couldn't do it), they became empowered to do so.
Bannister himself backed this theory up 50 years later: "There was a mystique, a belief that it couldn't be done, but I think it was more of a psychological barrier than a physical barrier."
Perhaps as important as one's self-confidence (and contributory to it), are the expectations of others with whom one interacts. The Rosenthal-Jacobson studies of the 1960s—updated in 1992—proved this to be the case, and similar studies have reinforced the efficacy of this so-called "Pygmalion Effect."
In the Rosenthal-Jacobson study, teachers were informed that one group of students was more "gifted" than the other (when, in fact, they were both at a similar level). The teachers' disparate perceptions/expectations of the two groups led them to treat the groups differently, which ultimately contributed to significant differences in performance. In short, the allegedly "gifted" group performed better than the "normal" group simply by virtue of the teachers' expectations.
Translation: Students (and employees) will tend to live up to your expectations, positive or negative.
Companies and employers that are bogged down with policies, systems and procedures built on the premise that employees will try to take advantage and misbehave whenever possible send a message that they expect employees to do so. Strangely enough, those employers tend to get just what they expect.
Companies that treat employees like adults tend to get employees that act like adults. Supervisors who communicate confidence and trust that employees will meet expectations are generally rewarded for that confidence and trust: Employees not only meet the expectations; they exceed them.
Captain Mike Abrashoff, in his book It's Your Ship, put it this way: "I focused on building self-esteem… Instead of tearing people down to make them into robots, I tried to show them that I trusted them and believed in them." It must have worked. Under Abrashoff's command, USS Benfold went from being one of the worst ships in the U.S. Navy to, literally, "the best damn ship in the Navy."
To be sure, there will always be exceptions, individuals who will try to take advantage of the system: the ones for whom the phrase "give 'em and inch and they'll take a mile" was designed. But that's just it: They're the exception. Treating everyone as if they were the exception virtually ensures you'll get that "exceptional" behavior from everyone.
At the end of the day, perhaps the best question is this: Where would you rather work? After all, you're in the driver's seat. I know you can do it.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-2496) Implement Blob support for Locators
|Wed, 02 May 2007 22:24:15 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2496?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12493230 ] Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-2496: -------------------------------------- Thanks for the changes, Øystein. I am afraid I'm having some trouble applying blob-followup.diff. My patch tool could not apply the changes in BlobLocatorInputStream. So I tried applying them by hand. I ended up with compile errors in Blob.java because: 1) Blob.getBinaryStream() throws SQLException, not SqlException 2) But that method creates a BlobLocatorInputStream. The constructors for BlobLocatorInputStream throw SqlException, not SQLException. Can you regenerate the patch and let me know what your exception signatures are for Blob.getBinaryStream() and for the constructors of BlobLocatorInputStream? > Implement Blob support for Locators > ----------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-2496 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2496 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Øystein Grøvlen > Assigned To: Øystein Grøvlen > Attachments: blob-followup.diff, blob.diff, blob_v2.diff > > > DERBY-2347 adds the possibility to send locators between client and server instead of LOB values. This has not been activated yet, since the client implementation does not currently support locators. This report is for supporting the locators for Blob objects. Another JIRA issue will be made for Clob. > This work will be made in several steps: > 1. Blob methods and ResultSet.getXXX methods > 2. PreparedStatement and CallableStatement methods > 3. ResultSet.updateXXX methods > 4. Connection.createBlob() > There is dependencies between these steps and it might be that the Locator implementation cannot be exposed until everything has been done. At least, doing just step 1, gives testing errors because tests use Blobs fetched from DB as parameters to prepared statements. I would guess tests for updatable result sets, needs the combination of 1. and 3. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Well....it's been a busy season so I only have a one page sketch for you this month but I do have lots of layouts from my SCRAP START Design Team friends at A Million Memories. Enjoy!!!
This sketch is perfect for your favorite 5x7 photo and (6) 2x2 supporting photos or other embellishments. You have plenty of space for journaling and a cool tag makes up the title.
I just love how Kimmi used all photos on the sketch and how Michelle used patterned paper to fill the 2x2 squares. I made a digital layout and used elements from Erica Hernandez's Phonetically Phloral line from 2peas. And don't you love how Amy creatively flipped the sketch on its side to suit her photos?

EEX completes acquisition of Nodal Exchange
First Published 5th May 2017
Voltage to the power of 2 divided by resistance
European Energy Exchange (EEX) has finalized its acquisition of the Nodal Exchange, which focuses on North American electricity and natural gas trading.
The acquisition gives EEX and its parent company, Deutsche Börse AG, its first footprint outside the realm of European power trading. Additionally, it gives them a CFTC-recognized clearing house.
Nodal is not one the most active of exchanges (trading a few thousand contracts overall per day, as tends to be the case for power trading), but it has shown growth in the last few years.

According to this article The trafficking of children for domestic labor in the U.S. is an extension of an illegal but common practice in Africa. "Around one-third of the estimated 10,000 forced laborers in the United States are servants trapped behind the curtains of suburban homes, according to a study by the National Human Rights Center at the University of California at Berkeley and Free the Slaves, a nonprofit group. No one can say how many are children, especially since their work can so easily be masked as chores."
One of the saddest quotes was from a little 10 year old girl, who worked up to 20 hours a day without a day off.
"It never occurred to her to run away.
'I thought this was normal,' she said."

I am a North Carolina native that grew up along the coast of beautiful Brunswick County. After graduating from UNC-Wilmington with a BA in Elementary Education I began a 24 year teaching career. During that time, I earned my Master's Degree in Education and became a National Board Certified Teacher. I worked briefly in real estate prior to beginning my teaching career and always knew that when I retired from teaching I wanted to return to the field of real estate. For that reason, I have continued to monitor the trends in the real estate market. My hobbies include camping, gardening, boating, and fishing along the Carolina coast with my wonderful husband. I also enjoy backyard cookouts with our friends and family or just relaxing on the beach watching a beautiful sunset. I love working with and helping people meet their real estate needs, whether it be buying or selling. It is my goal to always respond quickly to my client's questions and concerns and to make each transaction as smooth as possible. I am excited to be a part of the #1 Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage selling team in Brunswick County!

North isn't amused. In a new Snapchat video Kim Kardashian posted, the reality star attempts to show off her vocal stylings while she's driving. The only problem? Her daughter isn't having it. In fact, North throws shade at Kim for trying to carry a tune, and, um, it's kind of easy to see why. Sorry, Kim!
As you can see, Kim films herself while it looks like she's driving (always safe), singing along to hubby Kanye West's song "Famous." North doesn't think it's a good look, and Kim, having the sense of humor that she does, gets a good laugh out of her daughter's reaction. Check it out:
Gotta love kids for keeping their celeb parents down to earth. North pretty much just wants her mom to stop singing her dad's song. #toddlerproblems
More from The Stir: 15 Things You Probably Never Knew About Kim Kardashian (PHOTOS)
On another note (heh), how adorable is it that Kim has been including North in so many of her Snapchats? We don't get to see the little cutie in action too often -- and Kim's Instagram typically is photos of herself -- so it's such a nice change of pace. Of course we love Kim, but come on. What's cuter than North? Especially North giving her mom the stink eye.
If there are two people that will always keep Kim Kardashian down-to-earth, it's North and Saint West. They don't care if their mom is the hottest, most famous woman in the world, they just want her to stop singing.

Design a Logo for my new project: SMS Klub

- Penyertaan diterima: 28

Ringkasan Peraduan
I'm starting up a new project for which I need a logo.
The project is called SMS Klub (Danish for SMS Club), it's a markerting platform for small shops, where they enter the members in the system, and can among other things sent a SMS to these users. The platform is connected with their cash register, so for all members we know what they have bought, and the have the possibility to earn bonus points for each item they purchase.
So the platform is both a member database, a marketing platform, but also gives a big insight about your customers and what the buy.
I would like the logo to be design with responsive logo in mind: [login to view URL]
Colorwise I will be working with RGB: 4 172 187, so it should have this color, or at least something that works well with this color.

I've written a lot of words here on Coupeville Sports, but I realize where my page hits really come from.
Photos. Photos. And, yes, more photos.
Whether snapped by Shelli Trumbull or John Fisken or David Stern or any of a thousand Wolf moms (and dads), glossy pics are the real power behind the throne.
So, as we head into a new sports season, I decided to take a quick look back at the one which just finished, and do something I haven't done before — pick my favorite pics.
These 10 aren't necessarily the ones which got the most clicks (team photos are always a magnet), and they don't cover every fall sport.
But, at this moment, they are some of my personal favorites — ones which I think capture the essence of high school sports in a special way.
So, which one do you like the most? Let me know.
Our poll for the "Photo of the Fall" kicks off at 7 PM Sunday and goes 48 hours, ending at 7 PM Tuesday.
Vote as often as you like. Wild West rules, no restrictions whatsoever.
What does the winner get? A nice warm glow in their chest(s), so, they got that going for them, which is nice.

An inscribed paving stone will be the understated but permanent reminder of a Motherwell man awarded Britain's highest military honour.
William Clamp was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his virtually suicidal attack on machine gun positions based in concrete blockhouses during the Great War battle of Poelcapelle in Belgium on October 9, 1917.
Now the council are trying to trace any of his relatives, as part of the preparations for an official ceremony marking a century since his death in combat.
The 25-year-old corporal from 6th battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment, was in an advance party stalled by heavy enemy fire when he attacked and killed several enemy soldiers by lobbing grenades through the blockhouse embrasures.
Despite heavy fire from German snipers he entered the fortified position and brought out a machine gun and about 20 prisoners - then was shot dead by a sniper when he returned to the attack.
The authority is also seeking relatives of Airdrie man John Carmichael. who died as recently as 1977.
Sergeant Carmichael saved comrades by covering an enemy grenade with his steel helmet then standing on top of it - a heroic act which cost him serious injuries.
The council is paying for the installation and maintenance of the commemorative paving stones, which are being provided by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Relatives of both men are asked to phone 01698 302324 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

sandi + romieFiled in weddings shot by Ayres Photography on at
Hope everyone's enjoying the holidays! It's definitely been a busy season for us (much busier than we anticipated)! :)
We had the pleasure of being a part of Sandi and Romie's awesome Fall wedding in Delaware Park. Personally, I love October weddings. Even though the weather can be unpredictable, and it might be cold, rainy, or snowy (yes, in Buffalo, anything's possible), Fall is still my favorite season for weddings (and most things). I also adore Delaware Park, and anything that has to do with historic Buffalo, so for me, this was a thoroughly enjoyable wedding!
I started out the day with Sandi and her girls at Now Salon on Elmwood Ave, which is such a cool place to get ready for a wedding.
I love these next two shots SO much. I stepped outside to get myself ready to shoot Sandi getting into her limo, and the adorable little flower girl tried to follow me out!! TOO cute!
This one is a super-fun shot of the bride taking one last look in the mirror before heading outside, but since I shot it through the glass window, I happened to get the reflection of Elmwood Ave, as well. AWESOME.
While I was at the salon, Ben was hanging out with Romie and the guys…
…which definitely included a trip to the Thirsty Buffalo for some pre-wedding drinks. ;)
Next stop for the guys was Delaware Park!!
Sandi and Romie decided to do a "first look," so they could have all of their formal photos done before the ceremony. The original plan was to set up either in the rose garden or down by Hoyt Lake, but the weather had other plans; so, we set up in the upper level of the Casino, which ended up being just as nice. The whole "first look" thing is soooooo much fun…I get so excited when people ask us to set them up!
After they took a peek at each other, we did some portraits around the outside of the Casino. The rain held off just long enough for us to grab a few great shots!
The rain moved the ceremony from the Rose Garden to the tent, but when you have a couple who is totally in love (like these two love birds), the location never seems to matter. :)
A little bit of fancy zooming…
The reception details were exquisite. The decor was simple, but the dramatic lighting made everything so elegant!
Two super-cool ring shots (sorry, I just couldn't decide)!!
Some first dance magic…
…and then, there was one heck of a party, complete with Red Bull and freshly spun cotton candy!!
A lovely shot of the Casino by Ben. :)
This is just adorable…
We'll end our post with these two absolutely lovely night portraits of an absolutely lovely couple. :)
Sandi and Romie – you guys are amazing people. Thank-you so much for choosing us to be a part of your beautiful wedding day…we had a blast! Wishing you both all the best that life has two offer!! :)
Annette SAYS...

There has recently been a hardening stance by lenders and their legal advisers in regard to insurance policies covering properties used as security for loans. Increasingly lenders and their legal advisers are making specific requirements for the type and amount of insurance borrowers should hold for secured properties.
The background to this recent development follows the withdrawal of ABI support for an agreement which originally dates back to 1992. The Association of British Insurers (ABI), in 1992, struck an agreement with the British Banking Association (BBA) on properties used as security for loans. Under this agreement, lenders could notify insurers of their interest in borrowers' properties and insurers would then agree to notify them of any alteration or cancellation of cover on these properties. Where the borrower had failed to maintain the cover required under a finance agreement, lenders would then have a grace period during which to arrange their own insurance policy.
Towards the end of 2011, however, the ABI announced its intention to withdraw from this agreement, which eventually came into effect on 31st December 2012. This means that banks can no longer rely on insurers notifying them of changes that might affect their security.
Understandably, the ABI's withdrawal from the 1992 agreement has raised serious concerns for lenders. We have since seen a dramatic change in lenders' attitudes and the insurance requirements they stipulate in facility agreements. These now place wider and more stringent demands on borrowers, their brokers and insurers themselves.
Often the lenders' requirements will tend to lie outside the cover normally provided under insurance contracts and therefore insurers will need to issue specific policy endorsements.
Faced with increased administrative expense and risk exposure as a result of lenders' increasingly stringent requirements, insurers are now taking a tougher line.
Lenders' Facility Agreements can typically include the following requirements:
- Cover is provided on an All Risks basis, including but not limited to the contingencies of flood and terrorism insurance
- Cover is provided up to full value
- All premiums are paid prior to completion or within the relevant credit terms of the policy
- Lender to be noted as Composite/Co-Insured on all policies (sometimes joint insured status is incorrectly demanded)
- Lender to be noted as First Loss Payee on all policies
- Policies to include non-invalidation clause in favour of the lender
- The lender shall have no duty of disclosure
- The lender must be given 28 days' notice of cancellation by the insurer
- The lender must be notified of all claims in excess of, say, £10,000 or a limit stipulated by the lender
There are a number of points worth noting here. The first is that the borrower and the lender have different interests in the property. Being noted in the policy as Composite Co-Insured gives the lender far greater protection against the asset than simply being noted as an Interested Party or indeed as a Joint Insured. The insurer is effectively providing two separate policies: one for the borrower and a second for the lender.
If the borrower's interest falls away, as a result, for example, of their failure to disclose something material to the insurer, the lender's interest would still stand. Given this, it is not surprising that insurers now often ask for an additional premium to reflect their additional exposure.
Where the lender requires being noted as Co-Insured, they will also often require that their duty of disclosure is waived. This creates a direct conflict with the standard terms of all commercial insurance contracts, under which all insured parties have a duty of disclosure. It may be possible, dependent on the insurer, to secure specific agreement from the insurer and for them to issue an endorsement reflecting this modification.
When a First Loss Payee clause is requested, the insurer is required to settle all claims to the lender in the first instance. We should recommend that liability claims be excluded from the First Loss Payee clause, and also that the clause be worded so that it applies only to claims in excess of a figure somewhere between £100,000 and £500,000. This removes the otherwise considerable administrative impact of multiple smaller claims payments. Generally, the lender will only be interested in larger losses that could have a financial impact on the loan.
Our advice to property owners in the process of refinancing is to consult with your specialist insurance adviser at the earliest possible opportunity. This will allow them to fully review any insurance requirements contained within the facility agreements and arrive at a mutually satisfactory agreement for all the parties concerned.

Increasing numbers of people in the last 10 years have been using the unlimited wireless internet. It comes with an immense amount of information to be found and with the high speeds offered; access to the internet is done in a speedy manner. Wireless broadband internet has come on the scene and high speed online sites have become available in many places in addition to situations. Such as the popularity of satellite cable service, that provides a multitude of channels even going to individuals who live in rural communities, the dish systems happen to be used for wireless service. Primarily those who do not have use of cable or DSL service make use of this service due to their locale.
A radio internet broadband service can be expensive. It may be the only real internet access open to customers. Obviously, if you're managing a home business and live in the nation, this is a much needed service. Services vary. From the two-way satellite link with a mixture connecting, downloads are transmitted with the satellite and uploads are carried out through phone lines. Where internet access was virtually impossible due to the location, even residents can now enjoy the benefits of cruising the internet.
Wireless Ethernet has allowed people to enjoy internet from their home. Initially, Ethernet set up residence in internet cafes, but has since then become available in coffee shops, libraries as well as some fast food places. All that is required is a wireless card in the laptop. Prices usually costs through the minute and a few companies do offer Wi-Fi for free. One will discover this internet service even on college campuses and business where becoming mobile enhances productivity of scholars and employees.
Cell phones also are a practical way to connecting to the internet. You are able to dial directly into your internet service when there is not one other line or interface with your computer using the ability of Bluetooth technology. Download speeds are usually slower but there might be instances when a radio internet broadband with a mobile phone can provide access to email and other information. Especially is this helpful if you want to conduct your business from your desk.
There is no doubt about it. Wireless broadband internet is becoming widespread. Whether through a cell phone, a wireless card or a satellite, you'll be able to connect to the internet in places where you were unable to do so and with speed only it can provide. Today, there is no other technology faster than the broadband in transmitting pages and pages of data, pictures, videos and different kinds of files via the internet. The dial-up connection can in no way compare to this service in terms of connectivity, speed etc. Broadband is available in 3 different forms namely:
Wireless: the advantage with this type of connection is that the computer receiving the signal need not be connected to a broadband router or a modem with the aid of cables or Ethernet. What really happens here is that a wireless broadband modem catches the internet signals and transmits them via radio waves all around the surrounding area. This is actually 'portable' internet technology and any system equipped with wireless capacity can pick up the signals in the area. People using a laptop equipped with a broadband adapter secured to an external port can easily connect to the wireless broadband signal. However, there should not be any secure password or firewall barring the network. Broadband connections have managed to reach every nook and corner of major cities today.

Thumbs Up Club
Right now I am working on a series of paintings for my friend's (Linda and Fred) restaurant. It is called Carriage Court Pizza. They have great pizza, sandwiches, soups and Italian dishes. You must go and try them out. They are in Crown Point Indiana. Tell them I sent you.
They have a club called the "Thumbs up club." It is for children and as a member. they get deals of their meals. They also get an id card and their photo hangs at the restaurant. So this is a "thumbs up kid." I think he likes the pizza.

Senator visits Moora Residential to lobby Federal support
Senator for WA Peter Georgiou has traveled to Moora to show his support for campaigners, protesting to closure to the Moora Residential College.
The One Nation Senator is appealing for national recognition in regard to the closure.
"After touring the Wheatbelt and the Great Southern this week for ANZAC Day commemorations, one thing is clear, that the level of investment from State and Federal government needs to be boosted immediately," Senator Georgiou said in a statement in late April.
"The tyranny of distance and the remoteness for many of WA's rural and regional towns is so vast, there is an obvious disconnect between Canberra and the bush and it's clearly evident that today's announcement is only there to reengage voter sentiment in areas where the Liberal vote is waning.
"Today I have written to the Minister for Regional Development John McVeigh, asking for a clear outline of the funding and incentives measures that are in the pipeline ahead of the Budget to help investment and job creation for regional WA."
MOORA COLLEGE | Today I travelled to the wheatbelt town of #Moora which is fighting hard to keep its residential college open.— Sen. Peter Georgiou (@SenatorGeorgiou) May 15, 2018
Premier @MarkMcGowanMP and @sueellery have shown their true colours.
I will fight for the people of #Moora#SaveMooraCollegepic.twitter.com/R8qqDMwIdJ
When asked if all he was going to do was stand next to a road sign, Senator Georgiou told campaigners to "watch this space".
Senator Georgiou took a tour of the facilities along side the Moora Shire President and a representative from the P&C.
He said he will be lobbying at a Federal level to try and supply funds to keep the College open.

One of my favorite things is taking bubble baths.
They are just so relaxing & wonderful. Especially when accompanied by a glass of wine, candles & a good book.
So of course when I stumbled upon this tub caddy I knew I had to share it & add it to my wish list...
Isn't it lovely?

Oh, did I mention the caddy is made of reclaimed wood from an old hardware store in Pennsylvania

Did you know that coffee beans come from a coffee plant? A coffee plant is usually a bush or small tree that grows about 10-12 feet (although it can grow up to 32 feet) and can produce coffee berries for decades.
Coffee cultivation is found between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The two most common kinds of coffee beans are Arabica and Robusta.
Want to grow your own coffee plants at home? The first thing you'll need is patience. It takes about 3-4 years before coffee plants mature and begin producing beans. If you have that, there are four more things you need:
- A good plant pot filled with fast draining potting soil.
- A place to grow your coffee plant with an average temperature of 65° Fahrenheit to 75° Fahrenheit.
- To be able to frequently water your coffee plant so the soil stays moist but no so much it's soggy.
- Enough space to let your coffee plant grow to 10 feet, or a commitment to pruning it and keeping it small!
The fruit of the coffee plant does not all ripen at the same time, and so the berries must be checked so they can be picked when they are red and ripe.

No, I am not talking about the kind of CPU rating that people rate computer processors with. I am talking about how domestic bunnies rate every possible situation with one simple rating, the CPU, better known as the Chance that I will get Picked Up rating. This applies to bunnies that hate getting picked up, which is probably 90% or better. There are those rare ones that absolutely love getting picked up and held. My dwarf bunny Sydney LOVES being held, but hates being picked up, which obviously causes some conflict. He runs and hides when I approach the playpen, and I have a whole array of tricks to get him into a position where I can pick him up.
I have used strings to pull cage doors closed from a distance, so he can't run into his hidey box, and many more similar type strategies. I always win, it is just a matter of how hard I am willing to work at picking him up, he knows this, even sometimes when he makes it to his hidey box I keep at it. I will open the cage, disconnect the playpen, clear everything out of his cage until it is just me and him, and he still avoids me by sitting in the far corner. It is the funniest thing ever, I laugh the whole time I am doing it, he is such a stubborn little devil. Yet when I finally pick him up, he licks my hand and just loves to be held, falling asleep in my lap, what a good boy.
That just shows you his natural fear of being picked up. Thus, Sydney gives every situation that involves me an extremely high CPU rating. Same goes for Thumper and Frannie, even if I walk up close and offer a carrot, they always hesitate and approach with caution, if I make any sudden moves they dart away, they give me a high CPU rating as well, they act as if I am the Grim Reaper for god's sake. God forbid I get picked up!!!!! Ohh NOOOOO! I've been picked up!! Ohh the bunanity!
So remember what CPU really means the next time you approach your bunnies.

GRACE JONES Nightclubbing (Deluxe Edition)/
It has been 33 years since the release of Grace Jones' seminal album 'Nightclubbing'. Now it's back as a two-disc deluxe edition and it still looks and sounds like the future...
The trademark sullen stare, blue-black skin and angular hair immediately demand your attention. The cover of Grace Jones' 1981 album 'Nightclubbing' is one of rock's most iconic images, marking the beginning of the style-obsessed Eighties while simultaneously opening the floodgates to generations of gender benders both then and now.
April's shiny new rerelease of 'Nightclubbing' features remastered versions of the original tracks as well as 12" remixes of Fizz faves Pull Up To The Bumper, Use Me and Demolition Man. Fellow outsider Gary Numan gets a look in too with Jones' previously unreleased version of Me! I Disconnect From You thrown in for very good measure.
With Jean-Paul Goude's stark styling as relevant now as it was in 1981 (that razor-sharp collarless Armani jacket has Hedi Slimane written all over it), we think there's no better time to revisit this landmark album.
Nightclubbing (Deluxe Edition) is released on Universal
