The Conflict LensTM was designed to identify the differing behaviors that an individual exhibits in conflict situations. Unlike many other conflict instruments, the Conflict Lens does not describe a personal style, which usually implies intent (win/win vs. win/lose); rather it depicts behaviors in a particular conflict situation that the participant chooses to examine and describes how the conflict led to either a constructive or destructive outcome.
While some of these behaviors are almost always constructive (e.g. empathy), others are almost always destructive (e.g. alienate). The Conflict Lens is based on the premise that dealing with conflict is a very complex process and cannot be reduced to simple style descriptions. For instance, it might not be wise to trust someone you are in conflict with because they only have their self-interest in mind and are using a destructive strategy with you. Other factors that can change conflict strategies include who you are in conflict with (e.g. a boss vs. a peer or subordinate); how important the conflict is to you; your previous experience with the individual; and your own available energy. Conflict in a business setting can also require different behaviors than in a personal setting.
The Conflict Lens Model is constructed with 11 outcome scales (behavior A vs. B):
Affiliate -- interested in maintaining relationships
Compromise -- open to alternative solutions
Control -- enjoys taking charge
Empathize -- sees the problem from another's point of view
Engage -- openly acknowledges a problem exists and commits to solving it
Own -- examines their own behaviors and the impact they have on others
Seek Support -- shares concerns with others not directly involved in conflict
Self-Restraint -- keeps control of their emotions
Trust -- has a general regard and confidence in the other person
Constructive Outcomes -- Are defined as when employees find they: have greater confidence that the people involved can resolve conflicts in the future; share responsibility for the problem; find a better solution than they originally had; develop a closer relationship; and find solutions for the benefit of the organization.
Destructive Outcomes -- Are defined as: damaged relationships; wounded egos; more conflict; a waste of money; a waste of time; and simply giving up.
Through the use of the Conflict Lens, organizations can identify where conflicts occur and create a strategy on how to deal with them.
When conflict results in destructive outcomes, contracts don't get signed, orders do not get filled, quality suffers, and employees leave. Poorly managed conflicts result in damaged relationship between employees; a waste of time and money; and often, even more conflict. In contrast, if conflict can be resolved in a constructive manner, employees find they can share responsibility for problems; find more creative solutions than were originally apparent; search for solutions that go beyond win-win to solutions that benefit the entire company; and build confidence that future problems can be effectively dealt with.

Germany to Europe – do as we say and do
A few weeks ago, I questioned German wage restraint, pointing out that other Eurozone countries would prefer Germany to allow salaries to rise, thus stimulating domestic demand, and helping address Europe's economic imbalances.
French finance minister, Christian Lagarde recently made the same point:
Clearly Germany has done an awfully good job in the last 10 years or so, improving competitiveness, putting very high pressure on its labour costs. When you look at unit labour costs to Germany, they have done a tremendous job in that respect.
[But] I'm not sure it is a sustainable model for the long term and for the whole of the group. Clearly we need better convergence.
In the FT, Otmar Issing – who did his best to ensure the European Central Bank was run on Bundesbank-approved lines – reacts to the suggestion with characteristic restraint and good humour:
This idea, presented as a panacea for Europe's problems, is so economically erroneous and politically dangerous that it would hardly deserve being taken seriously – were it not for the risk that it might actually prevail…
At a time when the EU has launched a new initiative to make the continent's economies more competitive, after the failure of the "Lisbon agenda", an approach that deliberately tried to reduce the competitiveness of one of the most successful exporters in world markets would look like a bad joke.
I'll take that as a 'no' then. Issing, who has been lobbying hard against a Greek bailout, reflects a worrying trend in German opinion. According to this line of thinking, other Eurozone countries should buckle down, cut wages and public spending, and do what their richer and more prudent masters in
Berlin Brussels tell them to.
And if this medicine is too bitter, then they should bugger off, re-adopt the drachma, lire or peseta, and spend the next hundred years or so paying back the Euro-denominated debt they have incurred while in the single currency.
It's a depressing vision. And, for Europe, it looks like it's stagnation ahead.

One project that caught my attention was the CHAIN Science Gateway. It the first time that anyone with access to the web can easily submit a job, run scientific applications, or use tools and data repositories with a choice of many grid e-infrastructures around the world. All they need to do is register with a user name and password; they can even use their Facebook credentials. "What matters for users in the end is that they want to run their applications in as many places as they can. With our tool, users can run anywhere they're authorised to run," said Roberto Barbera, technical coordinator of the project.
The CHAIN Science Gateway connects e-infrastructures in Europe, China, India, Brazil and America, and does away with the process of making a user manage grid security certificates. It uses robot grid certificates instead. These automated certificates are pre-installed at various sites on the network. When a user signs up, all they need to do is get authenticated and authorized. Authentication is managed by the SAML standard of the federated identity services. The Science Gateway's identity federation uses the Shibboleth implementation of the SAML standard.
A number of research communities are already running working with CHAIN including WeNMR, WRF4G, jModelTest, ProTest, LSGC, INDICATE, DECIDE, SuperB and Earth Science.
More information about the project can be found in a video interview below with Roberto Barbera.

Since this trip was mostly for work related purposes, I spent the most of my time on campus. I felt lucky to find quite a lovely selection of stationery at the campus bookstore. Since it rains a lot in Oregon, I was tempted to buy a new raincoat because I was tired of wearing the same one over and over again. But I managed to quash that impulse so I could save money (and luggage space!) for other stuff. So no new raincoat, but… look what I found instead! A waterproof notebook! This bright, cheerful, raincoat yellow notebook is from the brand Rite in the Rain. I bought one for my brother who writes for a living~ and I'm waiting to hear back about how much he likes it. 😀
I also found this very cute eraser on one of the bottom shelves of the stationery section. Seriously, so. adorable. It's by Ticonderoga. I originally bought one just for myself, but I went back for a few more to give as gifts. Now I wish I bought back a dozen, because every time I give it to someone, their face breaks out into a smile. Even my most serious friends. 🙂
這次去美國,還是以工作為主。 但當然還是有找到一點時間去逛文具。 大部分的時間都是在校園的書店逛逛, 後來還有一點時間去大賣場 Target 還有 Staples.
While we were in Portland, my friend Carol indulged me by going to Target, not once, but twice in less than 48 hours, so I could get my stationery fix there. I saw so much over on Instagram about Target's Dollar Spot section that I had to see it for myself. Whew. There was so much stuff in that section! I didn't know where to begin looking.
來美國, 一定要逛 Target. (Target 很容易失心瘋~ 所以一定也要跟一位比你自己理性的朋友一起逛。感謝 Carol 這次陪我逛了兩次, 而且也要感謝她阻止我買太多 XD)Target 的特色是之一有跟知名設計師合作, 所以可以用經濟實惠的價錢買到很有設計感的商品。 這次我買到了 Orla Kiely 的小化妝袋!另外我的建議是可以在 Target 買謝卡及萬用卡。 選擇蠻多的, 而且價錢也很 ok.
I made sure to get a photo of super cute Bullseye. (Glad I found out his real name this time, I always thought it was "Spot." XD).
From the Dollar Spot section, I bought some pretty pencils. Perfect gifts for my stationery loving friends in Taiwan. (And so light and transportable! Very important when you are traveling).
I was happy to finally see Sugar Paper in person, again after reading about them so much online. I was a little sad to see that there were only planners left~ I was hoping for some of their washi tape and wrapping paper, and other pretty notebooks. I think they may have been more of a holiday collaboration, so that could have explained their absence. I did love, love, love the Kraft paper covers on the planners, and how gorgeous is that pink?
My absolute favorite stationery purchase from this trip came from Target~ the Orla Kiely for Target, Wild Meadow Pencil Case. I love Orla Kiely's designs and I've been wanting one of these for long time. The first trip there, I saw the larger case in the back. I asked Carol: do you think that's too big for a pencil case? She rightfully answered: Yes.
To be realistic, I would have to be traveling away from my office for a month to need a pencil case that large. (By the way, I suggest that you bring a trusted friend along when you are shopping in Target after a long absence… they will be the voice of calm and reason and stop you from spending your entire paycheck on Essie nail polish ).
I'm glad I waited because on the second trip, they restocked, and I found the perfect one, this one! It's roomy and light, and the material is very stain resistant and waterproof. And of course, the flower design is just adorable.
Another item I always look for when I'm traveling outside of Taiwan is thank you cards, or all occasion cards.I found a bunch from SPRITZ NY that I loved, and also a pack of these gold dots and plain notecards, which I also thought could either be cute, or elegant, depending on the occasion (and the amount of washi tape and stickers that I use to decorate them with).
Even though in this digital age, some people consider thank you cards to be passé, I still enjoying writing and sending them (and I'm always more than thrilled to receive one).
On a different day, I also had a quick wander through Staples, and was surprised by how colorful Duck Tape and Scotch Tape has gotten! Wouldn't it be great to send out some packages with some of this tape?
I love that the washi tape trend has spread from Asia all the way to the United States! Everyday items deserve to be colorful and special too.
Staples is a great place to buy functional stationery at reasonable prices. I use a lot of graph paper in my everyday life, so I thought these post it notes were going to be especially useful for both work and my journaling activities. While Taiwan has a pretty extensive collection of sticky notes, I haven't seen them in this size, or quantity. (Post-it® Super Sticky Gridded Notes, 4″ x 6″, White, 50 Sheets Per Pad, a pack of 2 pads)
In my opinion, I think the U.S. is a good place to stock up on stationery basics. Target and Staples have really upped their stationery game recently, and it's fun to see the new products. I've always enjoyed Target's collaboration with artists, such as Sugar Paper and Orla Kiely, because it gives ordinary people like me a chance to enjoy their products.
老實說, 我覺得亞洲的文具比較精緻~而且選擇比較有多。 但美國的大眾文具強項是功能性~紮紮實實的筆記本, 或是可靠性很高的膠帶。所以在美國買文具的時候, 可以把注意力注重在 basics (基本款)而且我覺得美國的卡片 (尤其謝卡還有萬用卡) 花色跟亞洲的不太一樣, 也可以參考看看。
This post wraps up my three major shopping expenditures for when I was in the U.S. I'll come back and update on the ways I've used each item soon, or you can always hop over to my Instagram, which is updated constantly.
If you like, you can read Part One, Kitchen Utensils here, and Part Two (Cosmetics) here.
This was not a sponsored post, I paid for all items with my own money, and all experiences, viewpoints and opinions described are my own.

|The mother's concept is still based on the first one. "It's not ready yet!"
The housewife series continues! This is the second of my housewife illustration series. The first one is here. This time I choose Shibainu because this specie is a well-known local dog from Japan, and I personally love it too!
This illustration depicts Japanese housewife during new year. The housewife would prepare a set of New year bento called "Osechi". This one took so much longer than I expected because of the Osechi Bento part. There were a lot of references and researches before I could add any detail to the bento. Each food in each slot has its own blessing, such as Kamaboko means protection, Black beans mean hard work, and etc. The most helpful site is the made-to-order-Osechi website because they have such an elegant image that show how beautiful the Osechi could be.

How we Help Seizures:
A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It can cause changes in your behavior, movements or feelings, and levels of consciousness. They are varied and complex ranging from mild to severe and effect both children and adults.
Neurons are nerve cells in the brain that create, send, and receive electrical impulses which allow communication in the brain. When neurons are disrupted, the pathways in the brain are impaired and seizures can be caused as a result.
Here at Serenity Zone, we take a comprehensive approach to your brain health and wellbeing. When you have suffered a seizure, how your brain functions is compromised. Brainwaves change frequencies based on neural activity within the brain. These brainwave frequencies determine your state of mind, mood, and motivation. When the frequencies are moving very slowly, you feel relaxed and drowsy. When they move slightly faster, you feel mindful and content. When these frequencies move a little faster, you feel sharp, focused, and alert. When they move really fast, you feel energized, rejuvenated, and refreshed.
If your brain is out of balance and your brainwaves are not firing properly, you will begin to feel symptoms. The longer they persist, the greater the imbalance. Thanks to neuroplasticity, your brain is able to learn and respond to new stimuli that can aid in creating new neural pathways. Neurofeedback is the neurotherapy that has been used since the 1960's and is FDA approved as a natural brain training solution that aids in optimizing brainwave function and helps to create new neural pathways.
Because Neurofeedback can aid in creating new neural pathways and optimizing brain wave function, this modality has been shown to be very successful in the natural correction and treatment of seizures.
To determine how to help your brain heal from seizures, we use evidence-based clinical assessment and neuroimaging technology (QEEG) to map the brain. This allows us to discover how each individual's brain is responding and reacting to determine if any imbalance or dysregulation exists.
Once we determine if and where the affected areas are, we create a corrective plan of care using the most cutting-edge neurotherapies and brain training tools that target the specific imbalances to optimize the exact networks and pathways of the brain so the person can improve their focus, memory, mood, motivation, and thinking patterns.

$ 400.00
This 1-Day Course covers a great deal of content. Attendees should plan on being at the Academy of Coffee Excellence from 8:00am (08:00) to 5:00pm (17:00).
Seed to Cup: A fundamental skill of any specialty coffee professional is to be able to identify key points and explain coffee's journey from seed to cup, having a basic grasp of concepts of coffee's history, growing conditions and the chain of custody. This information is an underpinning for purchasing decisions and communication along the chain from farmer to consumer. Engaging, educating and enriching consumers of specialty coffee are inherent in the work of baristas, roasters and retailers, and this class provides accurate, concise information that surveys the custody of coffee, from farmer to barista. We also explore critical points within the supply chain that can impact the price or cup quality.
Cupping and Triangulation:
Cupping is the Specialty Coffee Industry's standard for evaluating green coffee. Triangulation Cupping and Difference From Control Cupping is an essential part of any quality control process prior to release of roasted coffee. Using the SCA Cupping Protocol while exploring multiple flights of coffee, participants are introduced to and practice the SCA protocol, and focus on basic vocabulary from the Coffee Tasters Flavor Wheel for objective, professional coffee quality evaluation.
Working with Importers: We spend some time discussing how you can best benefit by calibrating with your importers and providing timely and useful feedback.
Sample Roasting: A central part of a professional Roaster's job is to be able to evaluate green coffee for buying decisions and profile development. In order to do the evaluation, a Roaster must be able to consistently roast samples each time, using typical sample roasting equipment and cupping with SCA protocol as the recommended guide. This class helps students begin the process of creating a consistent sample roasting program, including checking green grade, recording information, storing samples, making conscious buying decisions, having a roasting log and maintaining equipment. All attendees will get plenty of hands on time with any of the 4 different types of sample roasters at the Academy of Coffee Excellence.
Lunch is provided.

Photo Update of a Matching Art Glass Pendant
I finished a pendant that matches the cocktail ring I posted a little while ago.
Here are some pictures:
The glass is cold worked and very deep. So, the view from the side is quite dimensional, especially since some of the glass is perfectly clear.
Once I have a little time to spare, this pendant will likely end up in my Etsy store.
Astoria Artisan Market in Queens
Yesterday afternoon, we drove all the way to Queens to check out an artisan market plus beer garden that I just found out about.
The name is Astoria Market and is located in Astoria, Queens.
It was quite a hike from the eastern part of Long Island where we are. And the traffic did not help either despite the fact that it was a Sunday. It looked like the Mets or some other team (pardon me, but I don't have a clue about sports) were playing and we had to drive right past the stadium.
But once we got there, we had a blast!
The artisan market is located inside the main hall of the Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden. It is a small and very cozy event that takes place on several Sundays throughout the year.
Then, after you are done browsing the artisan products, you simply step outside into the beer garden, where they have a good selection of European and American beer and food and live music. The whole atmosphere is very central European and I did feel right at home.
So, although the artisan market is a bit small, it is easy to make your visit a whole afternoon event.
Check them out on the web (http://www.astoriamarket.com/) or in person if you are in the area!

The former Methodist Chapel in Framfield Road, Uckfield, is up for sale with the possibility of it having a new use as a residential development.
The chapel was made redundant after Methodist and United Reformed Church congregations merged to form the Cornerstone Church. They meet at the now re-named former United Reformed Church opposite the Applegreen service station in New Town.
Dixon Vince Estate Agents, who took the photographs in this article, say the sale of the Framfield Road building offers a fascinating opportunity to purchase a former chapel and adjoining church hall, offering huge potential for a variety of uses, subject to planning.
The accommodation includes entrance hall, office, former chapel, former church hall, kitchen, rear hall, ladies and gents wc, and gardens.
Julian Vince said: "We are suggesting that it could have potential for conversion to one or more residential units, or, indeed, it could be used for some sort of commercial use, but whatever somebody considers they will have to buy it as it is and then put in a planning application for change of use."
He thinks the chapel was purpose built with the flat-roofed church hall, kitchen, office and WC added in the 1950s.
Offers in the region of £250,000 are being sought for the building.
Read more about the merger of Methodist and United Reformed congregations in this Uckfield News story from last year: Two congregations form new church in Uckfield.

Duchy College students train with the best at HMS Raleigh
Published: December 6, 2016Duchy College Stoke Climsland Adult
Military Academy students from Duchy College have been put through their paces at HMS Raleigh. Duchy College are the only college in the UK to attend a phase 1 or initial training establishment on a regular basis; which gives students an insight into life in the Royal Navy.
During the latest training session students tackled a teamwork and leadership exercise on the assault course. Despite awful weather, the Royal Navy Physical Training Instructors (PYI) were impressed with how well the group did. Royal Navy recruits face this in week 10 of their training and the students performed at the same high level as most recruits.
The students also spent time in the Military Training Unit (Mtu) where they were introduced to service weapons including the General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), the SA80A2 Rifle and Carbine and the Glock 17 pistol. The students practiced marksmanship at the Dismounted Close Combat Trainer (DCCT), a laser training range used to prepare recruits to fire the real weapons. They were also shown some of the threats that troops face on operations and what to look out for.
Student, Beth Connolly, said: "I'm truly amazed at the opportunity we were given at HMS Raleigh. We tackled the assault course which recruits go through on Week ten, that was amazing fun! Getting the chance to have a go on the DCCT was great and we had a lesson on the IED (Improvised Explosive Device) threat which was very interesting, I felt I learnt a lot from that lesson. Overall it was a fantastic day!"
Fellow student, Clark Harris, added: "The assault course at Raleigh was challenging to say the least, but it was excellent fun. It was hard work but we all worked well and pushed each other on to get through the freezing cold water and to tackle the high obstacles. It was amazing to get the chance to learn about the different types of weapons from the staff."
The training the students experience is based on the 10-week initial naval training programme for new recruits. Under the partnership established last year a group of students spend two days at HMS Raleigh each month.
Lecturer for Military Academy at Duchy Stoke, Jon Stone, said: "Working with the team at HMS Raleigh is invaluable. It allows the learners to undergo what they will actually go through in training, in a military training establishment and with current military instructors. They gain so much from these visits it really enhances the delivery of the course."

The PM Group
1912 Establishing Preston Motors
The Preston Carrying Company was started in 1912 with the belief that one day trucks would replace horse drawn vehicles. The business thrived, operating five-tonne chain driven trucks principally to transport milk from the dairy farms of Thomastown and Epping to Melbourne. In the spirit of innovative customer service, the company's Buick doubled as a hire vehicle on weekends to chauffeur city folk around the countryside. One weekend, a passenger asked where she could buy a Buick. And so, Preston Motors was born.
1948 Onwards
Australia's own car, the Holden, was launched in 1948 with Preston Motors operating as an appointed distributor from the inception of Holden vehicles. Although still carrying flagship as a Holden franchise, the Preston Motors Group has extended it's porfolio of automotive brands and can be found in locations across Victoria in Essendon, Dandenong, Epping, Chadstone, Brighton and now Doncaster.
PM Group Today
Once predominantly a Holden dealer, PM Group now offers a wide choice of vehicle from awards winning Japanese brands to prestige European models. The PM Group is able to exceed customer expectations through our friendly staff and commitment to customers. Why not find out for yourself and visit Porsche Centre Doncaster today?

Click here to read the story.
Friday 11th November 2011, Cape Flats, Cape Town.
Giving money away in Cape Town is a tricky business with the potential for disastrous consequences. 10,000 rand is a lot and could put certain people in danger of theft or attack. I felt a responsibility to find people who could cope with that amount of money and not be adversely affected by it. On the other hand, I didn't want WAL to embrace some kind of nomination process. The last thing I wanted was people pestering me to give them or their friends the money. But perhaps I needed Barkie's help with this one. In for a penny......
Barkie had suggested 7 names and we decided to blitz it. It took me 4 cards, 12 transactions and 30 minutes to get all the money from the hole in the wall. We then neatly folded the cash into 7 separate envelopes and set off in Barkie's old VW Beetle, chatting excitedly over the roar of the broken exhaust.
Emily didn't know we were coming. She's a single mum and works 4 hours a day in a small office at the back of a factory that makes and mends machine parts. The noise and the smell reminded me of my uncle Kevin's garage. I went in, told her about WAL and gave her the money. Just like that. Emily held back the tears as we hugged and it was a wonderful and emotional experience.
Questions & Answers
1. What were your first thoughts and feelings when propositioned with Wearelucky?
Thank the Lord. Ecstatic, relief, amazement. Is this a joke?
2. What have you decided to do with the money?
I gave half of it to somebody that I knew needed it as much as I did. With the other half I gave a few different people some money, bought food for some and used some for myself and family.
3. What were the reasons driving that decision?
My wish is to be blessed so that I can bless other people. To bring relief to somebody else.
4. What does 'good' mean to you?
Honest, kind-hearted, caring.
5. Is it better to make a small impact on a big problem or a big impact on a small problem?
Small impact on a big problem. Even if it is a small impact, it might be the start to greater things.
6. Did you think about spending all the money on yourself?
Yes I did, but my conscience did not allow it. The burden was too heavy.

King Kong Company – Game Over
Somewhere between groove lounge and French house music emerges the likes of King Kong Company. Game Over initiates this electronic orchestration with a quasi-horn solo, gliding easily into the dance till you drop back beat. Obvious comparison would be Daft Punk, but I'd also add a touch of Eiffel 65.
This cybernetic composition captures the glossiness of an anime soundtrack or the hip coolness of a video game. Percussion takes center stage, punctuated by a slick hook, and an array of otherworldly sounds. House DJs, you'll be wanting Game Over in your stacks. Noelle Ellis, GiggingNI.com

We've all experienced that feeling of fogginess after pulling an all-nighter for work or staying out too late with friends on a weeknight. Feeling forgetful or taking longer to process our thoughts because of exhaustion is simply an expected part of not getting enough sleep. A new joint study from researchers at Tel Aviv University, UCLA and the University of Wisconsin has discovered exactly how this lack of sleep affects brain activity.
The teams determined that individual neurons in the brain actually slow down due to sleep deprivation, causing a delayed response behaviorally and cognitively. This neural slowing messes with visual perception and memory associations in the brain.
Sleep Deprivation Caused By Many Factors
Although missing sleep can sometimes be a conscious choice due to circumstances, events or deadlines, for people who struggle to sleep involuntarily it can become a very frustrating part of life. One condition that affects sleep is insomnia. Another is a dangerous sleep disorder called sleep apnea. There are many other reasons for sleep deprivation, but those are two of the most common.
Sleep Deprivation Caused By Insomnia
Insomnia is a complicated condition that is still not fully understood due to its many causes. It can be a result of a medical condition, a psychiatric condition, bad habits, substance use and other factors. It can also be caused by a combination of medical conditions such as restless leg syndrome or sleep apnea.
The daytime sleepiness that commonly occurs as a result of insomnia can be dangerous for both the person suffering from sleep deprivation and those around them. It can also cause anxiety, depression and irritability.
Sleep Deprivation Caused By Sleep Apnea
Although sleep deprivation as a result of insomnia is concerning, sleep apnea is even more dangerous. Sleep apnea is characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, said Dr. David Buck, DDS, founder of Balance Epigenetic Orthodontics. One of the pillars of Buck's research and work with patients has been in the field of sleep apnea.
"Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common form of the disorder and is caused by a blockage in the airway," he said. "This is often a result of soft tissue in the back of the throat collapsing during sleep."
Sleep apnea affects men, women and children of all ages. Not only does it cause sleep deprivation, but it also affects oxygen levels. This can lead to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, depression, headaches and many other health complications.
"Regardless of what may be causing your sleep deprivation, it's imperative to see a health professional as soon as possible to get to the root of the problem and prevent any further complications," Buck said.

How we did it
At San Cristobal School we proudly use Max OS, the GNU/Linux distribution based on Ubuntu created by the Department of Education of the Community of Madrid, so this article is from a Linux perspective.
After downloading the pictures from the camera to the PC we used Luciole, a very easy and simple application to make videos from images. Then we moved on to Openshot Video Editor in order to add music, sound effects, and include titles and the credits. We got the sound effects from Free Sound (http://www.freesound.org/) and the music from Free Music Archive (http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/creative_commons). And finally we uploaded the master pieces to Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/)
I really hope you like the final result. I will be very happy to read your comments!
So say we all!!

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and generated in human skin by ultraviolet (UV) light. Today, vitamin D is considered to be a steroidal hormone and plays a central role in bone mineralization and calcium homeostasis. The active form of the vitamin D is 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (DHCC)] which mediates proliferation, differentiation and various functions at the cellular level through Vitamin D receptors (VDR).Therefore, compromised vitamin D status is likely to be involved in progression or pathogenesis of various disorders. This assumption is consistent with findings from epidemiological studies that a compromised vitamin D status in humans increases the risk of autoimmune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis and type I diabetes mellitus. However, diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disorders and bone disorders are yet not focused. Thus the role of vitamin D in pathogenesis of various diseases is complex and controversial. This review briefly summarizes the role of vitamin D in development and progression of different human disorders.

One thing is for certain when it comes to little Miss M. . . she's going to grow up with no shortage of love and attention! Mom and dad both come from incredibly warm and close knit families and also always seem to be surrounded by plenty of friends from church and work. Plus when you're this cute, you don't have to work too hard to turn heads! It was a real treat to capture mom, dad, and baby at home especially incorporating so many of their ideas and passions into the shoot. With their artistic genes (Mom's a professional dancer & dad's a professional musician), we expect great things from this crew of three and can't wait to watch their family grow!
Posted on December 28, 2016
I had an absolute blast with this family. 🙂 They have simply the best energy, and from our very first emails back and forth with mom it was obvious that we were going to have fun together. My favorite part of this shoot was how much personality their three kiddos have; so much personality in fact, that narrowing down their final proofs was nearly impossible. I've got my fingers crossed that our next session will be even longer!
Posted on November 22, 2016
This post is a total overshare, but I just couldn't help myself! Too many favorites, and I just love this little family. You might recognize them as they're often featured here on our blog, and this is the most recent addition to their family. Baby Harper is just the sweetest, and it won't be long before she's doing her best to keep up with her energetic big brother. I have a feeling he's going to be her protector and a pretty great playmate. Thanks to mom and dad for trusting me year after year to capture so much of your beautiful story ❤
Posted on November 14, 2016
Mini sessions this fall have been so good to me so far! Meeting this family has definitely been one of the highlights; their two littles were so full of energy and curiosity that I got plenty of splendid candid shots. Their session was also particularly sweet since it was the first time they'd had family photos taken since dad came back from overseas. ❤ I only hope they're as in love with these images as I am!
Posted on November 11, 2016
Brittany and Colten had one of my favorite wedding days — gorgeous weather, a laid back bridal party, and a fun and heartfelt reception. So it's no surprise that I was instantly smitten with their darling little girl. Baby Jane is going to have plenty of personality and no shortage of loving family all around her as she grows up. She was a total trooper through our session, and I can't wait to see how much she'll have changed by the next time I see this sweet family.
Posted on March 22, 2013
I love that my job allows me to meet so many incredible people. These two lovely ladies are a great example of just how awesome my clients are. I met up with mother-daughter duo, Anita and Ashley to do some head shots for them to use in their personal businesses. They're both successful consultants for BeautiControl and were recently recognized for their accomplishments. They made my job easy since they're both beautiful inside and out. I can't wait to see what they do next!

Downtown Cairo to Go Car-Free... Eventually
These kinds of scenes could become a thing of the past in downtown Cairo. Photo by Daveness_98 via Flickr.
When it comes to crazy drivers, traffic congestion, and all the air and noise pollution that come along with massive amounts of cars jammed into one place, Istanbul, I've heard, has nothing on Cairo. But the Egyptian capital is apparently moving to remake its entire downtown into a place where pedestrians won't fear to tread -- a place where they might even happily (and safely) stroll around.According to the news website Al-Masry Al-Youm, the city's urban planning authority has announced that a design will be completed within a year for a plan to turn downtown Cairo into a pedestrian zone, a project that will take between 10 and 15 years to implement. Officials hope the change will help revitalize an area in decline, the magazine Egypt Today writes:
Created by Khedive Ismail Pasha in the latter half of the nineteenth century to be a Nile-side imitation of Paris with wide boulevards and spacious squares, the belle époque architecture now crumbles onto sidewalks lined with gaudy, neon-lit storefronts and streets deafened by the crawling mass of honking traffic.
Parts of downtown, including a mile of the well-known thoroughfare Sharia Al-Mu'izz Li-Din Allah, have already been declared daytime pedestrian zones, and the idea to transform the whole area has been kicking around for a while. Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif commissioned the country's housing ministry last fall to hold a limited competition to choose an international firm that will work with a local one on the project. Plans include building multi-story underground garages outside of the center city so people can "park and ride" into downtown on streetcars, encouraging the establishment of open-air restaurants and other venues, and turning old government buildings into museums, hotels, and art galleries.
A Playground for the Rich?
Some concerns have been expressed that the focus on creating a historical tourist area full of restaurants and museums could lead to downtown becoming the exclusive province of wealthy Egyptians and foreigners. As local blogger The Boursa Exchange wrote when the design competition was first announced:
We hope the redevelopment plan, when implemented, creates an open space accessible to all of Cairo's residents. While we enjoy al-Azhar Park, we sometimes rue the fact that it is almost exclusively the preserve of foreigners, relatively well-to-do locals and groups of schoolchildren on field trips. We also hope that the new downtown is developed with an eye toward easing pollution, not just by banning cars but also through the creation of an "urban lung."
While it could also be argued that the funds could be better spent addressing Egypt's widespread poverty, "city or national governments are always going to spend money on prestige projects," The Boursa Exchange added. "This one at least has the potential to benefit all of Egypt's citizens."

David Attenborough warns climate change may bring social unrest
11 July, 2019, 2:11 pm
LONDON (Reuters) – Naturalist David Attenborough told British lawmakers on Tuesday it would be essential to stick to a new target to decarbonize the economy, warning that failure to tackle climate change could lead to massive social unrest.
Attenborough, one of the world's most influential wildlife broadcasters, said Britain's move last month to become the first G7 country to commit to a goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 could help galvanize broader international action.
"It's a tough target. It's not an easy statement to have made, and it's going to cost money," Attenborough told a hearing of parliament's Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee. "It's actually a practical commitment, and I hope to goodness that we can achieve it and stick by it."
Attenborough, who has become increasingly outspoken about risks posed by the climate crisis in recent years, added: "It's absolutely essential that it should be done … if we're going to avoid massive social unrest."
Attenborough had earlier told the hearing that he drew hope from an upsurge in environmental activism by a younger generation aware that they would bear the brunt of climate impacts as the crisis worsened in coming decades.
"The problems in 20-30 years are going to be major problems that are going to cause great social unrest, changes in what we eat, how we live," Attenborough said.
"The most encouraging thing I see is that the electorate of tomorrow is already making their voice very, very clear."
Attenborough, the man behind the "Planet Earth" and "Blue Planet" documentaries, also said that the environmental impact of air travel should be factored into ticket prices.
"If you cost that, you would see that the tickets are extraordinarily cheap," he said.

|Mizuna, shungiku, and New Zealand spinach
Recently I swapped some seeds with my new neighbor who's also a gardening enthusiast. I got seeds for 3 vegetables that I have never planted before - mizuna, shungiku, and New Zealand spinach. The only one I wasn't sure of is shungiku, so I looked it up on Wikipedia. It is also known as Garland chrysanthemum! Oh no!!!!! I had this before and didn't like it; however, I know my parents like it, so it will go to them. I was surprised by the size of New Zealand spinach seeds. They are a lot bigger than Bloomsdale spinach seeds, which I have planted many times. I looked up New Zealand spinach on Wikipedia, and it turned out to be a leafy ground cover that tastes like spinach.
|New Zealand spinach seeds
Spinach has always been one of my favorite vegetables, so I have no doubt that I'll like New Zealand spinach. I think I had it once. A guest at one of Master Ken's potlucks brought some leafy greens sauteed with garlic. I liked it a lot and asked her what vegetable it was. She explained it to me and told me that she picked the greens in a park near her house. She told me they were very common in the park. I was very intrigued by it; unfortunately, I haven't ran into that woman again. I believe the dish I had was sauteed New Zealand spinach. I wouldn't mind having the entire backyard covered by it.
I also planted a few kabocha, snow peas, and white Lisbon onions. I covered up all the planted seeds with bird netting because I know both birds and squirrels would come steal the seeds. The weather today in the 60's (F), so I will leave the newly planted cell packs outside. I may need to bring them into the green house if the temperature drops again.

Child Care Immunization Requirement Changes for Hurricane Katrina Evacuees
The following is a summary of State policy changes to immunization requirements for children who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina enrolling in child care programs. Included is information from a sample of States that made policy changes in response to the hurricane, including Florida, which waived documentation requirements for its prekindergarten program. Also included is information about the Centers for Disease Control's recommendations for immunizations for children displaced by the hurricane and the Federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which requires States to remove barriers so that homeless children can get a free public education. This information was initially gathered in the weeks immediately following Hurricane Katrina and may not reflect current State policies in a time of non-emergency status. NCCIC does not endorse any non-Federal practice, organization, publication, or resource.
The California Department of Health Services issued a memorandum stating that children who were in licensed child care settings or schools in Alabama, Louisiana, or Mississippi before being displaced to California were initially presumed to be up to date for vaccinations required in California. Once students were enrolled, California Health and Safety Code, Section 120340 and California Code of Regulations, Sections 6045 and 6070 (d) allowed child care facilities and schools to admit students who were transferred from a school in another State. It allowed families a period of up to 30 school days (i.e., approximately 6 school weeks) to produce their children's immunization records. Additional information is available at cdph.ca.gov/programs/immunize/Documents/katrinaevacueeizreqsletter.pdf.
The Florida Office of Early Learning Services (formerly the Florida Partnership for School Readiness) waived the customary documentation for enrolling 4-year-olds in the Voluntary Prekindergarten Program. Additional information is available from the Office of Early Learning Services by calling 850-488-3026 or visiting the Web at www.floridaearlylearning.com.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued a memo stating that displaced children and youth entering regulated child care facilities were not required to provide documentation of current immunizations and health assessment for up to 60 days. For additional information, call the Division of Health, Bureau of Child Care and Health Facilities – Child Care Unit, Kansas Department of Health and Environment at 785-296-1270 or visit the Web at http://www.kdheks.gov/bcclr/child_care.html.
The Maryland State Department of Education issued a memo that directed state-regulated child care programs to enroll displaced children immediately, and process them through standard enrollment procedures without authenticating immunization, birth certificates, or other documents that are typically required. For additional information, call the Licensing Branch, Office of Child Care, Maryland State Department of Education at 410-767-7128 or visit the Web at http://earlychildhood.marylandpublicschools.org/.
The Massachusetts Office of Early Learning and Care issued a memorandum stating that displaced families would be allowed up to 6 months from the time of their child's admission into the licensed child care program to provide documentation of their child's immunization and physical examination. Additional information is available at www.mass.gov/edu/government/departments-and-boards/department-of-earl....
The Mississippi Department of Health offered 60-day provisional enrollment status to students transferring from areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. This provisional status meant that students or their families did not have to present student immunization records prior to admission to any school or licensed child care facility in order to attend classes for the first 60 days. Additional information is available at http://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/_static/41,0,81.html.
The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Regulation and Licensure announced that children who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina and who were entering child care in Nebraska did not need to show proof of immunizations before entering care. Additional information is available by calling the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services at 402-471-3121 or visiting the Web at www.hhs.state.ne.us/.
New Mexico
The New Mexico Department of Health gave students enrolling in schools and child care facilities and who were staying with family members, friends, or others in New Mexico a 30-day provisional enrollment without showing proof of immunizations. Additional information is available at www.hsd.state.nm.us/pdf/090205HSDtoCoordinateHuricaneRelief.pdf.
New York
The New York Office of Children and Families allowed children displaced by Hurricane Katrina to be initially enrolled in a child care program for up to 30 days without proof of immunization in accordance with Public Health Law, section 2164(7). Additional information is available at www.ocfs.state.ny.us/main/.
The Ohio Department of Job and Families Services allowed a 90-day waiver of the requirements for verification of immunizations for children from families displaced by Hurricane Katrina enrolling in child care centers and family child care homes. Additional information is available at www.odjfs.state.oh.us/.
The Oklahoma State Departments of Health and Education announced that standard immunization requirements for attending school or child care facilities in Oklahoma were temporarily waived for children displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Students who were staying with family members or friends in Oklahoma, or whose families sought temporary housing in the State, were given a 120-day provisional enrollment. Additional information is available at https://www.ok.gov/health/Disease,_Prevention,_Preparedness/Immunizat....
The Pennsylvania Department of Health announced the relaxation of immunization requirements for children displaced by the effects of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi and who attended school or child care group settings (day care) in Pennsylvania. An 8-month provisional enrollment was given to school students staying with family members, friends, or others in the State. Additional information is available at www.dsf.health.state.pa.us/health/cwp/view.asp?A=171&Q=242511.
Rhode Island
The Rhode Island Department of Health allowed enrollment of students transferring from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama to Rhode Island schools and child care facilities. Temporary Immunization Exemption Certificates were used to document the status of these children as evacuees of Hurricane Katrina. Additional information is available at www.health.state.ri.us/.
The governor of Tennessee issued an executive order, waiving the requirements for immunizations, health records, and proof of physical exams for children displaced and who were enrolling in child care centers, school-age care programs, family child care homes, and group child care homes. The executive order is available at http://publications.tnsosfiles.com/pub/execorders/exec-orders-bred28....
The Texas Department of State Health Services announced that normal immunization requirements for attending school or child care facilities in Texas would be temporarily waived for children displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Students staying with family members, friends, or others in Texas were given a 30-day provisional enrollment. Additional information is available on the Texas Department of State and Health Services website.
Federal Recommendations and Law
- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), issued recommendations regarding immunizations for children displaced by Hurricane Katrina. It was recommended to States that if immunization records were not available for enrollment in school or child care, children aged 10 years and younger should be treated as if they were up-to-date with recommended immunizations and given any doses that are recommended for their current age.
- The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Subtitle VII-B, is the Federal law that entitles children who are homeless to a free, appropriate public education. It requires schools to remove barriers to the enrollment, attendance, and success in school. In response to Hurricane Katrina, States are using this act to allow displaced families more time to provide proof of immunizations for their children enrolling in child care programs and schools. The act, "Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program - Title VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 Non-Regulatory Guidance, July 2004," is at www.ed.gov/programs/homeless/guidance.pdf.

Uh... what was I going to say next? BBT just distracted me. I used to not like the show, but it grew on me. Okay, I remember. I have some news to share. Being Human is getting good reviews in Romania here, here and here. (Google Chrome translates.) I think I need to poke my Romanian agent about getting the book translated. She could pass on the reviews to the publisher she submitted to. A little hint-hint, nudge-nudge.
I think this episode of BBT is the first one I saw. Howard is dressed up Goth and I remember that because I always thought the Goth look was sexy.
Have I rambled long enough? I'm sure I can think up more. I know, I know, I should be writing, but it's still Sunday (eight more minutes until Monday) and I never have motivation to write on Sundays. Not sure what causes it. I'm thinking maybe hubby. *snickers* I promise I will write Monday. I really need to. I finally figured out how that short story needs to start. Okay, I'm shutting up now, but feel free to comment. *gives puppy dog eyes because loves comment luv*

The Leave vote must be implemented in full, to avoid catastrophic damage to the integrity of politics
When she first set out her vision for Brexit at Lancaster House in January 2017, the Prime Minister confirmed the central message of the Leave campaign that the UK must "take back control": of our money, laws and borders. This meant leaving the customs union, the single market and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
She was right. Yet 18 months after that speech, some MPs, peers, senior civil servants and even Cabinet Ministers are contriving to argue against this position. They suggest the vote to Leave somehow signals that we still yearn to be rule takers from Europe and still wish to pay vast sums to the EU budget, in exchange for symbolic gestures like blue passports.
They are wrong – and for their benefit, let me remind them how we got here. In 2015, a Bill was laid before Parliament, making good on a Conservative manifesto pledge to "hold an in-out referendum on our membership of the EU before the end of 2017″. The Commons voted for the legislation by a ratio of six to one.
The referendum asked an unambiguous question: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" Leave won more votes than any party or issue has ever gained in British history. The people confirmed their decision at last year's general election when 85per cent of the votes cast were for parties supporting Brexit. The Tory manifesto – which attracted the most votes of any since John Major's in 1992 – pledged we would "no longer be members of the single market or customs union".
At the referendum, people rejected the comically inaccurate predictions of Project Fear. They rejected the government's official Remain view as laid out in a leaflet delivered to every household at a cost of more than £9million to the taxpayer. Instead, they voted on a point of principle that the UK would be more successful if we governed our own affairs. One point in that leaflet they did accept, however, was the promise: "The Government will implement what you decide."
So those now advocating for a swift, full Brexit are not "extremists", "ideologues" or "hard Brexiteers". We are democrats, who understand that it is our duty to implement the verdict of the British people. This is all the more important as the vote went the "wrong" way in the eyes of many in the Establishment. Failure to deliver the result would do catastrophic damage to the integrity of our institutions. How could we ever expect anyone to trust in our constitutional processes again if their express wishes can be ignored? This is the key point. Brexit must be delivered in full to return decisionmaking to elected politicians and reshape the UK as a powerful advocate for global free trade. Our independent policies can maximise competition – improving quality and driving down prices for consumers by using our new freedom to remove all tariffs.
In almost every TV interview, we hear the concerns of multinational producer interests and the 12per cent of our economy accounted for by exports to the EU. But the costs of EU regulation are felt throughout the economy, including by firms that do not export to Europe and, crucially, 100per cent of consumers. Every one of them has a vote, and Brexit is a chance for the Tory party to show – once and for all – that, in the contest between consumer and producer, we are on the side of the consumer. We must commit to lowering their costs and improving their living standards.
Producers will benefit, too.
Removing tariffs will reduce the cost of raw materials. We can free them from over-burdensome regulation and allow them to embrace the innovations they need to compete. But we cannot enjoy any of these benefits if we are locked into perpetual limbo by an endless transition period.
With Momentum dragging Labour in the wrong direction, the Tories must take this opportunity. Rather than attacking "extremists" for seeking to implement our manifesto, my colleagues must heed the voices of the vast majority of our members and voters. We know from the local elections that the Brexit vote is solid. Friday's Cabinet meeting is a fantastic chance to consolidate that support by restating our pledge to leave the single market, customs union and ECJ.
My advice – which I have heard so often in all parts of the country – is simple: "Just get on with it."

NICOLE Scherzinger wowed X Factor fans with her outfit choice for the first live show, with some asking whether she'd come dressed as a Quality Street.
The former Pussycat Doll showed off her long legs in the revealing dress which was cut up to the top of her thighs.
Nicole loved every second of being back in the spotlight and danced as she appeared on stage alongside Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
Simon Cowell was forced to miss the first show after suffering a nasty fall at his home in London.
Strolling out with Louis and Sharon, Nicole grinned before throwing her arms out and dancing to one side of them.
Hearing the cheers, she appeared to pull up her short dress to show even more of her long legs.
The crowd in the studio and the viewers at home loved her looked and praised her revealing choice.
One tweeted: "Nicole Sherzinger looks fab in that dress!"
Another said: "Nicole Scherzinger looks unreal!"
However some compared her outfit choice to a box of Christmas chocolates.
A fan tweeted:" "Nicole looks like she's dressed as a Quality Street, but she still looks so good!"
A second said: "I see Nicole has come as a Ferrero Rocher."
While a third wrote: "Nicole looks like she's got some tin foil wrapped round her."
While Simon missed the show, Cheryl was in the audience as she turned up to watch Liam Payne perform.
Her moment in the spotlight was hijacked however, as an over eager guest behind her stole the spotlight.
This year's live shows have been cut from ten to six with acts voted off on both Saturdays and Sundays.
Star guest artists will perform on both days, with tonight Liam Payne taking to the stage for the first time as a solo artist on the show.
In just one of many shake ups this year, Simon discourage novelty acts like Honey G, who came fifth last year.
A source told The Sun: "They are doing the Thorpe Park auditions early on too, because producers think the unconventional location will create some funny footage.
"They don't want the show to be a laughing stock again like it was with Honey G."
Simon also confirmed that he had axed the jukebox gimmick.

It was great gliding along in the calm evening with the lake to ourselves. Would have been better completely nude, but not being a good swimmer, we did have life jackets on.
Here is my chance to tell my story about our first experience at a resort. It was the same lake last summer. My wife and I Decided to take one more dip before we left to go home. We were out in waist deep water water when my wife saw something floating next to her in the water. She thought it was a camera strap and tried to pick it up . . . And it moved and touched her stomach. It was a water snake, black with yellow stripes! Neither of us can stand snakes, but she was actually more calm than I think I would have been. Last month we were there again but I couldn't get her to swim this time
Snakes have been causing problems since the beginning of human history.

Are separate administrator accounts a good idea for enterprises?
Separate administrator accounts are becoming a normal part of access policies in enterprises. Expert Matthew Pascucci explains why this is a good idea and how to implement it.
I have to create a policy for separate administrator accounts for all employees that require privileged access....

Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
In a community of hundreds of employees, their access includes Windows, Linux, Oracle, SAS and more. I'm considering creating separate admin accounts, but I've received some pushback. Have you seen such policies implemented successfully in larger organizations? Are separate administrator accounts the best way to go?
Creating a policy for separate administrator accounts isn't something unusual; it's actually becoming a standard. Creating a separate account for administrators allows for the proper separation of duties and security on accounts that have full access to systems and data.
This can become an issue within a larger company -- not because it can't be done, but because it's going to take more work in order to complete. A lot of this work might also change the mindset of the administrators and management.
I've seen large companies create separate accounts for administrators in a few ways. One way was creating accounts for systems with read-only access to review configurations and access so they didn't accidentally create an issue within a system when reviewing the application. On the flip side, I've also seen the same thing happen where accounts were created that were only used when the administrator was about to make a change to a system, or if he needed to elevate his rights.
Either way, it's recommended that there be two accounts created for administrators that are managing systems, and especially those systems that have access to sensitive data or privileged access to systems. One should be used to make changes, and the other should be read-only. You can even remove administrator accounts from particular users that don't need them, but who still need read access to a system.
Many times, I've seen users -- particularly Windows admins, but it could happen with any OS -- run their privileged account as their normal user account during the day. In this example, Windows domain admins are one click away from having their account compromised via phishing, cross-site scripting or other attacks. There are always complaints about admins not being able to perform their work without elevated access throughout the entire day, but, in most cases, it's just not true. Admins can use run as from their workstations if they're Windows admins, and sudo or jump boxes for Linux-based administrators, to limit the exposure of using these privileged accounts at all times.
There are many tools out there right now in the privileged access management space that help with this problem, but, many times, this comes down to a cultural attitude shift. Upper management needs to see the need and risk of privileged accounts being used to browse the internet, and the danger that can arise from that. I'm never in favor of using fear, uncertainty and doubt to scare someone into making a decision, so the more facts you have to make your case to management, the better it's going to be for you.
I'd recommend getting a few pilot users from each group and setting up a second account for each with use cases. Getting the details upfront can go a long way in educating users and management on the risk of not having separate administrator accounts.

I made a video for my fiance on her birthday, recording different people wishing her a happy birthday. I bought her an iPad and uploaded it there so she can see it when she opened her present. After a nice dinner together, we were alone and decided to give her the present already, which was the iPad. Then she opened it and was really happy that I got her an iPad. Then I told her to turn on the iPad and watch the video I made for her. She clicks play and during the video, she started crying of happiness. The video almost ends til the part where I proposed to her came out in the video with my friends holding a banner I made for her and she saw it. She was shocked and I next to her, I got on one knee, showed her the ring, and popped the question. She started crying and she said YES.

The Speed Fest is a low key affair without the pomp and circumstance of the Monterey Historics by Rolex (or whatever they call it these days) but with all the same screaming Trans-Am V8s, Formula 1 cars from every era, and terrifying pre-war death-traps. If you live in the Southern California area, consider a trip to the deep heart of San Diego this weekend for some wheel-to-wheel vintage racing. Previous DT coverage of the event can be found here.
If you are going to be at the event on Saturday, send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and you can meet DT Radio Show producer Ben and DT E-i-C Vince.
