Susanne Stemmer is a fashion photographer based in Vienna, she is specialized in underwater photography. Her great experience spans from commercials, fashion photography to kids photography, in this interview she shares with us her last project and an unexpected, but extremely valuable source of inspiration.
W: Can you recall how and why you became a photographer?
S: Growing up in a family of serious people doing serious jobs, like working in a bank and as tax consultants and stuff – it just took me a while to really start doing what I love…spent many years travelling – finally ended up as a photographer on a cruise ship…and that was it: I had found my passion. …and my way to express myself and tell people the stories I see and feel. – Went to settle down in Vienna for a while and worked as an assistant for a few years (actually more a slave than an assistant ;)) – until I just felt the urge to work on my own. –
W: Photography is like writing with the light, which stories do you want to tell with your projects?
S: Every project tells its own story – in my now running exhibition cycle UNDER WATER, I want to tell my viewers that it's actually not such an effort to let go of some things they think are important… immerse with me and let go of the mask you think you have to wear in society, let go of all the stuff that drags you down, abandon your image…and if it's just for a little moment…. – come into my world and be free.
W: Can you share with us 3 tips to make a good photo under the water?
S: ..first: it helps if you love water and diving 🙂 – second: shoot a lot, try out everything you can..and find your way and style. – third: never give up. never.
W: What part of the process excites you the most when you start a new project?
S: Guess, it's the whole project itself: building up a story…and keep forming it while I'm shooting…I work a lot in commercial photography as well – I just love doing both: building a story around a brand, inventing its visual language…and then go back to my personal work and invent stories for my characters.
W: Which fashion magazine do you love the most and why?
S: loved, schön!, french, numero – and of course italian and french VOGUE.
W: From all your projects which is your favorite and why?
S: …it's always the one I'm currently working at…as soon as it's done, it's really not that interesting for me any more 🙂 – at the moment, I love working on my exhibition series.
W: Which books and blogs do you consider valuable for a fashion photographer?
S: Of course it's important to always be up do date and see what the world around you is shooting and doing…but actually I don't get my inspiration from blogs or magazines or photography exhibitions… – what really inspires me are the old gits 😉 – I can spend hours and hours in the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, the Tretjakov Gallery just kills me, there's a fantastic Velázquez exhibition in Vienna at the moment… – that's what inspires me, old paintings that take us into a completely different world. Same with books: my heroes are writers taking us with them in a world we didn't know before: Dostojewski, Tolstoi, Murakami (to also mention a modern one), Balzac, Flaubert…. But then, that's me.. – I guess, everyone has to find his or her own way, her own inspiration source.
UNDER WATER – EXHIBITION – info text
Specialised in underwater photography, the artist Susanne Stemmer examines the changes that human beings experience after their immersion through the surface. The characters illustrated in her works are free and boundless as soon as they immerse. A physical freedom with the imaginary loss of gravity as well as mental freedom, abandoning their image they have in society, having the feeling nobody is watching them – finally being able to release themselves from all conventions and drop the mask they are wearing in society.
An inner journey begins into a world we rediscover ourselves, an invented world, photographed and still resembling to be an imaginary painting.

I am running the Podpress plugin to display a video on a post. The preview player, however, displays incorrectly. I think it may be due to the default borders, padding, etc. of images that are set in place for all images by Atahualpa.
How can I remove image formatting for this one post?

How you like me now? Stage 3 is complete and we nearly blew out the labs faster than Dada grew out of her clothes. Definitely the most tedious and difficult process I've ever attempted but am pleased with the results. We may try this again on a new subject but rebuilding the labs will take awhile :)
Sample576LA0918. An Area Orion female muscle morph.
dadatools. This process starts with a Frankenmorph using Dexter Jackson and Elle Matthews for desired body poses and details. We come away with one hellova kick-ass body. We then take that and do a Bigify morph to super-enhance the body parts and what you get is the above image. Don't know what a Frankenmorph or Bigify morph is? Check out my blog post here.

ICC has requested BCCI to remove the paramilitary insignia on MS Dhoni Gloves. But the question is -What's the problem with insignia ?.
According to ICC rules ,no symbols on shirts or gloves should represent any political,religion or racist ideas.Hence, the insignia of defense forces does not represent any of above thing.It only represent the love and respect of a player for his country defense forces.Also, he has been awarded with the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in [Parachute Regiment].
Some questions for ICC:
Pakistan Cricket Team pray Namaz on the ground, is this not religion-based???
Many players on the ground wear jesus or god symbols,is this not religion based???
If ICC persist their stand of anti-india and pro-islamic,then they should change their names from International Cricket Council to (Islamic Cricket Council).Also, BCCI should rejects the request of ICC on removal of Insignia from Dhoni's gloves.For every citizen of India, priority should be country,then other things.For me, first is country and for you………

The Anat Givon Small Print Collection
Anat is a photographer & digital artist. Born in Israel, lived & worked in the Middle East & South East Asia. Hong Kong has been her base since 1995.
Anat grew up in Israel, Europe & Africa. After a two-year military service in the Israeli army she has studied photography in Jerusalem & went on to work as a press photographer in Israel, then Bangkok from where she covered Southeast Asia extensively, making frequent trips around the
region & beyond, then Hong Kong to cover the transfer from British rule to China & stayed.
After years of working as a press photographer, Anat has taken her skills & experience a step further & established herself as a digital artist. Her pictures are, almost always, based on photography but she now takes her images to another level by digitally merging photography with computer graphics, creating images that, while often still rely on traditional photographic aesthetics, are transformed into rather more quirky images or at times, into improbable or even a fantastical reality.
Working with art consultants, interior designers & private
customers Anat's work has been commissioned by banks,
office & commercial spaces, restaurants & private collectors.

Bearish bat formed nicely on 4hr timeframe. Price also struggling to break weekly resistance. Two black lines show areas of significant support so will be interesting to see if we can hit final TP st 1.09000 level
Double top formed showing signs of more bearish movement
Im not really one to trade countertrends, but i feel we could still see a small push from the bulls by the end of this week back up to resisting trend line. Im hoping after we see this small push back there will be a strong bear push down to break the counter trend and for us to find an entry into a potential long term sell. News has made pair very volatile this past week
Cypher pattern formed on daily Price floating between the 1.09310 and 1.80660 levels price also resisting the 61.8% level on H1 chart Short term trade looking for TP1 at Daily support 1.80660 level

Learning from Mustila
Matthew Parratt is the Conifer Referee for the BSBI (Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland) and a research biologist at Forest Research. Together with Chloe Darling, who had made initial links with Finland, they went to Helsinki to start making arrangements for the 2020 RFS Overseas Study Tour. While there they visited Mustila Arboretum - one of the destinations on the StudyTour - and this is Matt's report on this fascinating part of their forests.
Full details of RFS 2020 Overseas Study Tour to Finland from 30 August -10 September are available here. Bookings will open to Members and their partners on a first come basis.
For us here in the UK an arboretum is a collection of specimens, single examples carefully placed to show off their best features in a silvicultural trophy cabinet. Mustila takes a different approach. There are no extensive visitor centres, but instead a converted timber building where home baked food is served. No trace of immaculately trimmed grass paths, or gaudy information panels here; what you get instead is something that feels altogether less tamed, wilder, and more subtle. After exploring on our own for a few hours we were lucky enough to be shown around by Kimmo Kuusisto, the head gardener. His passion is evident, and he's currently planting up some of the more open areas with more shrubs, perennials and bulbs, extending the season of interest. Here and there are some more hopeful experimental plantings including a few very unexpected cacti nestled in amongst the rocks below a canopy of Scots pine.
|Matthew Parratt inspecting Pinus Peuce at Mustila
Mustila is an easy one hour drive north-east of Helsinki, approximately 61°N, and 40m above sea level. Mean annual high temperature is 17°C in July, and the low -8°C with snow covering the ground to a depth of up to 100cm from late December until early April. Mean annual rainfall is just 600cm with frequent summer droughts and prolonged spells of extreme cold in the winter – trees growing here have to be tough to survive!
The arboretum began in around 1900, under the ownership of State Secretary A F Tigerstedt, a mining engineer by training. His son C. G. Tigerstedt shared a passion for trees and in 1920 his interests in evolutionary biology and horticulture led to the planting of some 500 exotic woody plants and perennials in the following two decades. Introductions were not based solely on aesthetics, but grounded in science.
All potential species have been carefully screened, climatic conditions examined, and only provenances with matching climates to that at Mustila selected. With his interest in evolutionary biology C. G. Tigerstedt realised that capturing the genetic diversity in a target population was important to give the introductions the best chance of thriving in the harsh Finnish climate.
The methodical approach paid off and has resulted in the outstanding feature of Mustila, forest scale plantings of species such as the Pacific silver fir (Abies amabilis), Macedonian pine (Pinus peuce), Serbian spruce (Picea omorika), and western red-cedar (Thuja plicata). But what makes these even more special is the extensive regeneration; the impressive mature trees complemented by several generations of saplings. The resulting age structure perhaps hints at what stands of the species might look like in their native habitat. Pacific silver fir has been so successful that a third generation is now growing at Mustila.
Today there are around 60 conifers, 150 broadleaves, and around 750 shrubs and perennials planted here, all blending quietly with the native flora, much of which will be familiar to any hillwalker in the UK. Cowberry, crowberry, and bilberry are plentiful along with beech and oak ferns, club-mosses and heathers. With only a handful of staff to help Kimmo Kuusisto has a huge task on his hands, but since its inception the key here has been selecting species and provenances that are a close match for local conditions, working with the site and minimising the efforts required for the collection to thrive. Five hours isn't enough to really explore this sublime place, and for anyone with even a passing interest in trees it's well worth at least a day of your time.

Nearly 500 workers at EDF Energy struck for 24 hours on Monday of this week in sites around the London, South East, South West and Eastern regions.
The workers are members of the Unite union.
They are mostly field engineers who repair and install meters, as well as technical support and revenue protection workers.
For some workers it was the start of longer action.
Some 12 workers in Camden, central London, began a two-week walkout with a protest at EDF's head office on Tuesday of this week.
Another 20 workers in Bexleyheath, Kent, are set to join them in two weeks, and there is a work-to-rule for all staff.
There were also two strike days at the beginning of May.
Members of the GMB union are also set to take industrial action short of the strike in the form of a work to rule.
The dispute centres on three main demands around pay. One is for a 2 percent pay rise and a £200 lump sum for last year.
Workers are also angry at broken agreements that mean some are paid less than their colleagues. Some have been waiting for nine years since they were first promised pay parity.
"It isn't about the money as much as the lies," field engineer Kevin told Socialist Worker.
"If we can't trust the company how can the customers?"
There was a lot of anger on the picket lines at money wasted by management, particularly on EDF's recent expensive rebranding with its "Zingy" flame logo.
Workers also said EDF had been getting rid of jobs through
disciplinaries and non-replacement of retiring staff. This is despite high demand for new meters.
Peter, a picket in Bexleyheath in Kent, said, "It's not fair that they make agreements and then break them. "They want to get more work out of everyone, but they don't want to pay up."
The EDF workers are angry and organised, with dozens turning out on the picket lines on Monday.
Hard hitting action against management can win.
It's not just the workers who are furious at greedy energy bosses—there would be a lot of support from the public for a fightback too.

just put the finishing touches on my 2009 December Art Journal cover
I knew I wanted to use a Paper Whimsy girl to hold the star on a wire that I recently found … Gel Medium was a great help in gluing the cheesecloth, lace (thank you so much Michelle … this is the most I have used at one time!!) and bits of this and that to the gessoed cover
Sue I finally dipped into the box of delights you sent me for my birthday and was brave enough to cut one Austrian crystal button from that perfect vintage card of buttons
… the gold specked netting was the perfect ingredient as well … many thanks!!!
when I thought my cover was finished and had already taken a few photos … it came to me to add one golden wing … symbolic of how I felt a lot of the time this December … flying with just one wing …
"What has time done to me? Changed my very being" ~a quote from the gorgeous Indian film "Jodhaa Akbar"
a totally stunning film we will watch again … maybe the second time without English Subtitles as to not be distracted from the cinematography and actors for even an instant

I started writing the next generation of my Applescript-based tool for posting to Manila last night using AppleScript Studio. The first pass was just to host some of the existing scripts in an AppleScript Studio based application and get them to work. I got it working partway but I think ASStudio (I won't fully abbreviate that, for reasons that should be obvious) uses different mechanisms for accessing functions contained in separate script files. I need to dig a little more deeply.
By the way, the name of the tool will be Manila Envelope (sorry for the bad pun). I plan to wrap as much functionality to access Manila inside the tool as possible while still making it pretty seamless to use.

SAN BERNARDINO >> An 18-year-old man was arrested Thursday after dousing his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend with gasoline and then setting them on fire, police said.
The 17-year-old was on the couch with her current boyfriend at a home in the 1900 block of Genevieve Street around 7:15 a.m. Thursday.
That's when, according to police, her ex-boyfriend Eduardo Rios, 18, of San Bernardino, doused her and her friend with gasoline and set them on fire, according to San Bernardino police spokesman Lt. Rich Lawhead.
Rios was booked on suspicion of domestic violence, arson and assault with a deadly weapon Thursday morning, according to San Bernardino police spokesman Lt. Rich Lawhead.
A search of court records show Rios has no adult criminal record.
• Video: The scene of where the 17-year-old was burned
But the girl said they'd had trouble.
"I'd been telling him I didn't want to be with him no more but he wouldn't listen," the teen, who identified herself only as Destiny, said outside the Genevieve Street home. "I guess he's just obsessed."
Rios, who shares a son with the teen girl, reportedly went to the home with a small bottle full of gasoline, according to police officials.
When he found Destiny on the couch with her new boyfriend, he allegedly sprayed them both with the flammable liquid and lit them on fire, police officials said.
Destiny said her sweatshirt did ignite but she was able to get it off and she didn't suffer any burns to her skin.
Family members and others inside the home were able to put out the flames.
Rios then punched Destiny in the face splitting her lip, officials said.
When police arrived, Rios ran but was caught a short distance away.
A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said only a few days before the attack, he saw Destiny chasing Rios down the street, yelling at him.

Expect Nothing New - State Of The Union
Expect Nothing New - State Of The Union
By Bill Steigerwald
Is it too late to cancel the president's State of the Union address?
On Tuesday night President Bush will go before Congress to give his annual version of how peachy everything is going at home and abroad.
We'll get some fresh metaphors from his speechwriters. We'll hear some new promises the president knows he'll never be able to keep and a bold agenda for the coming year that he knows Congress will never come close to giving him.
We'll probably get a 'surprise' announcement about troop cuts in Iraq in a carefully crafted, selectively spun speech that, by custom, is deliberately leaked a few hours beforehand. Otherwise, Mr. Bush probably will sound a lot like he did in 2005.
You don't remember last year's historic address? You can no longer recite its ringing lines?
It was the one where the president said 'the state of our union is confident and strong' and begged the scoundrels and compulsive spenders of the House and Senate to help him 'build a better world for our children and grandchildren.'
It was also the one where he begged Congress to help him restrain spending, pass tort reform, fix the tax code, reform immigration policy, let families control their own health care -- and, oh yeah, begin the privatizing of Social Security.
The annual message to Congress by the president, which is constitutionally required, has been delivered either in person or in writing 215 times since George Washington spoke the first one in 1790.
It'd take a David McCullough to determine whether the early messages were any less partisan or politically calculated than our contemporary televised ones with their 67 built-in applause lines. But thanks to the Internet, any citizen historian can go to a site like factmonster.com/t/hist/state-of-the-union and read every address ever delivered.
In almost any year you look, you can find high American ideals and fine rhetoric. George Washington set the tone when he urged Congress to help him with 'the arduous task of insuring to our fellow citizens the blessings which they have a right to expect from a free, efficient, and equal government.' Rutherford B. Hayes gets pretty dull in his 1880 rant in favor of federal civil service reform. But wouldn't it be sweet if we could hear President Bush say, 'Our relations with all foreign countries have been those of undisturbed peace, and have presented no occasion for concern as to their continued maintenance'?
And Cal Coolidge's addresses, the first on radio, are full of timeless limited-government prayers that wouldn't be heard again until Ronald Reagan's rousing -- but never consummated -- counter-revolutionary call to roll back Big Government in 1982.
It'd be nice if the president surprises us with something truly radical Tuesday. It'd be great if he declares the war on drugs over or says he'll seek repeal of the 16th Amendment.
But it'll never happen. Like most recent State of the Unions, it'll probably be 99 percent hot political air and instantly forgettable, not to mention a waste of prime network TV time.
It's painfully clear that in our 24/7/52 News & Information Age, the State of the Union address has outlived its original civic usefulness. It's just another regularly scheduled presidential pseudo-event -- a partisan infomercial. It's time for our presidents to resume sending their annual messages to Congress by letter. Or better yet, e-mail.

SUMMIT COUNTY — Back in the winter of 1898, Breckenridge experienced a historic snowstorm that wouldn't stop for nearly 3 months.
It started on the evening of November 27, 1898 and lasted until February 20, 1899. It snowed every day in between.
"It came after an Indian summer, a very mild summer," explained Austyn Dineen, with the Breckenridge Tourism Office. "Upwards of 78 days".
Each day brought additional inches and eventually additional feet. The whole town was basically buried, forcing businesses and the train to halt operations.
"So the train during the snow period wasn't able to get to Breckenridge for 80 days. So residents had to ration their food, their resources," Dineen explained.
Folks had to use skis and create paths to get around town.
"They dug tunnels because you couldn't get to the first floor buildings," Dineen said. "And we have pictures [from] May [when] Main Street still had 10 feet of snow on it!"
Piles of snow could still be seen during the summer months.
"If you think about it this way, the ski resort wasn't even open for another 60 years!" Dineen said.

LONDON (MarketWatch) - Lexmark International said fourth-quarter profit grew almost 12 percent from a year earlier as the printing and imaging company saw improvements in its laser and inkjet business lines.
Lexmark LXK said it earned $155 million, or $1.18 a share, up from $138.8 million, or $1.05 a share, in the same period a year earlier.
Revenue rose 12 percent to $1.54 billion from $1.37 billion for the period ended Dec. 31. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call had forecast a profit of $1.14 a share on revenue of $1.47 billion, excluding charges and one-time items.
The company had earlier estimated it would earn between $1.05 and $1.15 a share, with revenue growing slightly on the year.
Lexmark rose $1.11 to close at $85.02 Monday as Chief Executive Paul Curlander described the performance as a "record result." He said the fourth quarter was the sixth consecutive quarter to show hardware revenue growth.
"It was a strong quarter. We saw very strong demand in our laser and inkjet products, and our hardware revenue also continued to grow," Curlander said in an interview with MarketWatch.
Curlander said the company's laser and inkjet printer revenue increased 16 percent year over year and revenue from laser and inkjet supplies grew 13 percent.
He told analysts on a conference call that the company would increase its spending on research and development and marketing in 2005 at the expense of near-term financial results. Despite this, Lexmark's first-quarter forecast was for up to 15 percent growth in earnings per share, he noted.
Curlander said Lexmark aimed to increase awareness of the company and to grow in the segments of photo-inkjet printers, business inkjets and several kinds of laser printers. He said the company wanted to move away from price competition and instead differentiate itself through its products.
Lexmark is the No. 2 printing and imaging company in the U.S. behind Hewlett-Packard
R&D spending increased 18 percent in 2004, and will grow further in 2005, he said.
The company ran a cable television advertising campaign in the fourth quarter. Marketing spending will be lower in the first quarter, the company said.
Capital spending will also rise, Lexmark said.
Lexmark ended 2004 with $1.6 billion in cash and had $900 million cleared for share buy-backs. Executives wouldn't comment on how or when they might use the buy-back authorization.
Going forward, Lexmark gave its traditionally conservative earnings forecast. The company said it expected to report a first-quarter profit of between 95 cents and $1.05 a share, surrounding analyst projections of $1.02 a share. This would be a rise from 91 cents in the same quarter a year earlier.

SpywareBlaster Download Free 2018 for windows 7 8 10 2018
SpywareBlaster Download Free for windows 7 8 10 also for android mobile zip or iso file format exe available below in downlod, Spywareblaster is a free tool that is used to find all the malware content on your computer, so this software is important on your computer and the other good thing is that it does not take up enough space without enough speed. This is a basic usage and can be used on Mac operating systems, even if the publisher is mobile-friendly. Then it's easy to play on that device, but it's all about the publisher. They are the main release companies of this product and have the right to take control. If you want to do that, you can also use Filezilla free of charge on this website.
Description of SpywareBlaster 5.5
This software is used to remove all files from your computer. You must register before you can use it as a professional version. This software requires a lot of things, even if the publisher requires this update because the publisher needs to install the update because it includes new updates when they perform new updates. In fact, this kind of functionality I've seen and can be used in almost all freeware programs. Because the company wants to keep updates with new features. All updates are provided automatically, but must be enabled on your computer. Otherwise, it will work properly. Because there is no benefit to installing this kind of program on your computer, the latest update is available for download or on the publisher's official site. You also have the option of a toolbox that allows you to select your computer's settings, so if you want a specific device, you have to select it from the menu and these types of settings are also available in many other default settings. , You can make changes to the settings, but this is not enough because it contains many other features to mention in the upcoming paragraph. All browsers, video players and many other things can be secured. This is a collection of enough things. It means that many other programs can also be responsible, but it is not as easy as you might expect, because you need to activate certain programs you want to install on your computer. I finished the article too, but I will not end this article, let me go to the next step or go to the main information related to this product. It provides a variety of actions to carry out how you can make the protection of other programs impossible. Provides the function to activate the program installed on the computer by clicking the button in the menu. However, changing the disabling of all programs has no effect on protecting your computer, which means that you can not use antivirus. What are the benefits of installing this software on your computer?
System requirements for SpywareBlaster Minimum requirement
- Pentium 4
- Hard disk space = 300MB
- Windows XP, Vista, Windows 2000
- Recommended requirements for spywareblaster
- Dual core
- Hard disk space = 500MB
- Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- The most common problem during installation?
Insufficient disk space
You need to make sure that your computer has some space when it is running out of disk space. You can then install this program. This error may be costly or require you to install CCleaner on your computer. This software will help you free up space on your computer since the cleaner is used to remove all temporary files on your computer. The current program and CCleaner are similar because they are both used to delete temporary files, but CCleaner also removes malware files because it manages the space.
Unsupported Operating Systems
If you try to install a different operating system file and the installation file is 64-bit, it will try to install the installation file on 32-bit. Otherwise, this error will occur. You need to scan it before installing it on your computer, or download it depending on the operating system that is currently on your computer. When this error arrives, the message "Version not supported" is displayed.
No Windows files
If you do not have the required Windows files, you need to add the necessary files, and system32 is folder is your Windows drive. You need to add the file here. This file is available from the Microsoft official site, and because this software does the same, you need to install Virtual C ++.

Kentucky players want to win the SEC Tournament as much as Kentucky fans want them to this weekend in Nashville.
"Every game we go into, we try to win it. There's no point in going in and trying to lose, I don't believe that," sophomore PJ Washington said. "We're definitely going in trying to win."
However, Washington has obviously also paid attention to what coach John Calipari has said about the SEC tourney and its impact — or lack of — on NCAA Tournament seedings.
"At the end of the day, I don't really think the SEC Tournament really matters, it's the NCAA Tournament, and we know that," Washington said.
Kentucky plays the Mississippi-Alabama winner on Friday night in the tourney quarterfinals. A win likely would match UK against co-SEC champion Tennessee in Saturday's semifinals.
"I think we're playing pretty good. Without Reid (Travis), we're playing really good. It's definitely great to be winning at this point in the season. We're just trying to go in and keep winning," Washington said.
Freshman Tyler Herro knows nothing except winning.
"We never want to lose any game. But we're building for the last tournament, the NCAA Tournament, so we're just going to keep taking each game at a time and try to improve," Herro said Tuesday.
Herro doesn't expect postseason play to be different from what he's experienced so far at UK.
"I think if we just play with the same energy and same focus that we've been playing with, I think we'll be fine," Herro said. "We're playing pretty good. Just continuing to improve is really where the focus is at right now. Just playing the full 40 minutes, just continuing to improve over the next couple of weeks."

There's an art and a heart to Southern hospitality. It's also a gift. And Hobbs Realty has mastered all three over the past 40 years.
What is Southern Hospitality?
The phrase Southern hospitality, which has been around for generations, paints the southern United States as warm, friendly, sweet, and welcoming. When you dig a little deeper, it's easy to realize food plays a pivotal role in this regional hospitality. A key Southern tradition is always being prepared to welcome folks into their homes to break bread together – specifically Southern bread, or should we say biscuits?
Whether someone new moves into a Southern neighborhood or experiences a death in the family, the tried and true tradition is to bring gifts of cake, casserole, or chicken. This Southern custom of comfort food spills over into community churches, where the renowned covered-dish meal fuels many gatherings and celebrations.
Some say this deeply-rooted tradition of hospitality originated in the rural South, where communities were comprised of mostly farms. With such great distances between neighbors, fellowship was probably craved, and visits were longer than a cold iced tea since such great effort was made to socialize. Perhaps loneliness was a great motivator of hospitality.
You know when Grandma insists you stay at the dinner (or supper) table and enjoy that second helping or sample all three desserts? That's sort of what Southern hospitality is. It's that invitation to come… to stay… to enjoy… to not be in a hurry… to sit on front porches… to talk… to share stories, tears, dreams, and laughter… to open our lives to one another in a sense of gracious hospitality.
Our "Hobbspitality" in Holden Beach
That sentiment sums up the current that flows through the veins of Hobbs Realty at Holden Beach. The Hobbs family and team has a heart for shining true gracious hospitality in every aspect of their business, whether it's sitting with an owner on the porch to chat about their working relationship or lending a helping hand to an elderly guest. Every staff person is educated and specifically trained on the importance of "going the extra smile" at every opportunity. Whether answering the phones, greeting guests, making service calls, delivering supplies, meeting with homeowners, handling reservations, or cleaning rental homes, employees and vendors are asked to always share a smile, a positive word, and the good news about all things Holden Beach. In fact, home inspectors check the beach homes to ensure the finishing touches and sparkle await the guests as Hobbs partners with their owners to provide a comfortable and welcoming home-away-from-home.
Guests are greeted each Saturday with a spectacular view over the Holden Beach Bridge and can either conveniently check directly into their keyless home upon text notification, or stop by the Hobbs Realty office to pick up their key. A Hobbs beach bucket filled with info, resources, and goodies awaits them at the cottage to help make their visit to this southern Brunswick Island a true respite from the frenzy of everyday life.
Another aspect of our tradition of Southern hospitality is ensuring that each home is well-appointed and anticipates every need. Hobbs Realty works closely with their homeowners to ensure they've thought of everything so guests may immediately enjoy their rentals and host memorable family gatherings. Hobbs Realty even offers an after-hours phone number just in case that random issue for a guest pops up which can't wait until the next morning. Our goal is to make your vacation as easy as the cool, salty ocean breeze.
What's Southern Hobbspitality without enjoying the local delicacies? Guests simply use the Hobbs Hospitality mobile app, website, or Hobbs blogs to learn where to find the best Southern eggroll, mouthwatering she-crab soup, or homemade ice cream served in a fresh waffle cone. Yum!
You know how on a cruise or a luxury hotel there's that special touch when you return to your room and the beds are turned down with chocolate awaiting you? The Southern Hobbspitality version is our "Ready for Bed" program. Guests can opt into this convenience during the easy online reservation process. Don't forget to ask whether your vacation home offers the early check-in/late check-out option to accommodate your needs. And, no worries if you forgot something — we'll help you figure that out, too.
Start New Traditions With Hobbs
Southern Hobbspitality is important around here. The heart of our business is being nice (to each other and all of our guests, owners, and vendors); sharing (our homes, beach, and knowledge); and the art of visiting….the leisurely, friendly island visit on ocean decks and porches, soaking in the sights, sounds, and aromas of good conversation and good food. It truly is a gift to be savored.
We're glad you're here — and we hope you can stay awhile.
P.S. While here, don't forget the island etiquette of pausing at all of the pedestrian crosswalks along the boulevard to allow folks to cross safely and leisurely with their kids and beach stuff in tow. After all, we're in no hurry around here.

Maybe Ed Hardy Wasn't So Bad After All
Los Angeles has always felt like a foreign land to me. My sense of direction is off and I'm repeatedly distracted by the curious way people present themselves. More importantly, I feel like an outsider in LA. I can strut through Bergdorf's on 5th Avenue like I own the place. But at the bustling Barney's just off Rodeo, I cower in the corner by a display of expensive French fragrances and hide from the masses.
"That guy looks like such a tool," I mumbled as I picked at the cheese plate and nodded toward the DJ spinning music.
We were seated in the bar of a West Hollywood restaurant and the scene was defined by fur vests, tight leather pants and Louboutin stilettos. Even the men had a specific look, relying on untucked button-down shirts with textures and patterns not found on the east coast. It was like Rachel Zoe had styled the entire city. Literally.
"Who?" my friend asked.
Having been in LA for over a decade, she was completely immune to her surroundings. The guy ten feet to our right, a guy who was donning a tilted newsboy cap indoors while two chrome wallet-chains dangled off the hip of his skinny jeans, was just another zebra in her animal kingdom.
Over the course of my visit, my cloak of east coast sarcasm eventually melted away. I stopped scoffing at the population responsible for making Ed Hardy a household name. By the end of day two, I no longer flinched at the $100,000+ cars dominating the roadways. Suddenly I was eating fermented probiotic vegetables and purchasing crystals to cleanse my chakra.
"People are curiously friendly out here," I said as we left a Beverly Hills boutique.
"You're just used to the east coast where making eye contact with strangers is considered rude."
It was refreshing to have a stranger invite me to pet her pedicured pooch, an offer triggered by my quiet cooing. It was nice knowing shopkeepers were genuinely pleased to help you, even if you didn't make a purchase. And it almost seemed normal to invite a solo diner to pull his table next to ours at brunch on Sunday.
"I don't want to intrude," he said with a wave of his hand. "You two seem to be having plenty of fun without me."
"Don't be ridiculous," my friend and I said as we each grabbed a corner of his table and dragged it in our direction.
Later Sunday evening, I sat down on the floor of my friend's condo and started packing my belongings. I refolded unworn shirts, tucked small items within my sneakers, and carefully shielded my tan leather jacket from the dirty soles of my black leather pumps.
"I wish you were staying," my friend said as she sat down on the nearby sofa, a half-empty bottle of Kombucha in her right hand.
I stood up, pressed down on the top of my suitcase and zipped it closed. The quiet hum of Tibetan monk chants echoed through the condo. On the end-table I noticed the rose quartz and pyrite crystals I had bought the previous evening, crystals my friend had blessed on her altar. I set my suitcase to the side, sat down next to her on the sofa and leaned back into the pillows.
"You know, I can't believe I'm saying this but me too."

You are correct. Los Angeles is a market I visited for 33 days to explore continuing my career there and promptly left. It has an air of desperation and is artificial, largely because the film and television industry is there. Many talented people rol the dice and arrive there looking for work and find none. It isn't your imagination. It is a big, dangerous city that is not my bag of tea either.
Happy New Year!

Record-breaker | Diving
Last updated 11/1/2017 at Noon
Kamiak diver Naomi Bingham has a lot on her plate since the end of the regular season.
The senior standout is hard at work perfecting her dives in preparation for what Bingham hopes will be her third straight Northwest District diving title. Bingham also is looking into potential colleges she'll be attending after high school.
The district meet is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 2, and Saturday, Nov. 4, at Snohomish Aquatic Center. The 4A state swimming and diving championships follow on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 10-11, at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.
Bingham finished seventh at state last year and she's looking to move up in the standings.
"I'd love to place in the top 4. That's the ultimate goal," Bingham said. "But mostly I just want to hit all my dives and do my best and have the best meet of the year."
Bingham's senior season already is one for the record books. At a district diver qualifier meet on Oct. 7, she set a school record with a score of 427.60 points, breaking the previous record of 419.15 set in 2010 by Fiona Weeks. Two weeks ago, Bingham broke her own record, scoring 434.15 at another district dive qualifier.
"I was really excited," Bingham said about the record. "It was a goal for this year."
Bingham could tell that the Oct. 7 meet was shaping up to be a record-breaking performance.
"I was hitting all my dives until the second to last dive," Bingham said. "I didn't hit it, but I hit the last dive. So I was pretty sure it was going to happen."
What made breaking the school record even more special was that Weeks also was a gymnast at the same gymnastics club team Gymagine that Bingham has been a member of for the last seven years.
The Kamiak senior can thank her gymnastics coach for suggesting that she look into diving when she entered high school.
"My coach's daughter had done diving in high school," Bingham said. "She told me about it and I wanted to give it a try. And once I tried it I loved it. I kept doing it."
The mental part of the sport is what Bingham loves the most.
"It's a mental challenge as well as a physical," she said. "It's super mental. Gymnastics is mental, but diving is like 90 percent mental."
Before each dive Bingham clears her mind of all distractions and get into her zone.
"I try to focus on my approaches because the approaches affect the whole dive," Bingham said. "If you have a good approach, the dive usually is good."
Unlike the previous three years, diving has been sort of a solitary pursuit. Bingham is the only diver at Kamiak this season. There are pluses and minuses to that.
"It's kind of nice because it's like a private lesson every day," Bingham said of her practices with diving coach Frank McCallick. "But then it's also a little bit lonely at times. I miss having diving buddies."
Bingham typically practices anywhere from 30 to 40 dives at each practice.
"I usually go through my 11 dive list twice and work on the ones I have problems with," she said.
Last summer Bingham went to a diving camp at the Air Force Academy and the coaches there were especially encouraging to her. Bingham learned some new dives and had the opportunity to try the 3-meter board (high school is 1 meter).
"It was really fun to try the higher boards and do a little bit of platform," Bingham said. "That's when I decided I want to dive at a Division II college."

Movie Review: Courier Boy Kalyan
Rating: 2.75
Cast: rnNithin, Yami Gautham, Nassar, Ashutosh Rana, Harshavardhan, Surekha rnVani, Saptagiri, Satyam Rajesh, Ravi Prakash and Others
Songs: Karthik-Anup Rubens
Background Score: Sandeep Chowta
Cinematography: Satya Ponmar
Producer: Gautham Menon
Story/Screenplay/Direction: Prem Sai
Release Date: 17th September, 2015.
'Courierrn Boy Kalyan' has finally hit the screens three years after its official rnlaunch. This a film in the combination of Youth Heartthrob Nithin, rnSerial Actor-turned-Filmmaker Prem Sai & Sensible Technician & rnProducer Gautham Menon. What are its Box Office Prospects?
Kalyanrn (Nithin) discontinues his Degree and reaches Hyderabad in search of a rnjob. It was then he happened to meet Kavya (Yami Gautham), a sales girl,rn and it's like love at first sight for him. He joins as a Courier Boy inrn the company only to woo his Sweat Heart. Unexpectedly, He receives a rncourier which have details of a huge conspiracy and he gets chased by a rngroup to get hold of it at any cost. What's there in the courier? What rnthe conspiracy? Has Kalyan succeeded in delivering the courier to the rnright place?
Nithin scores brownie points rnplaying this Boy-next-Door Role. He acts well throughout the movie but rnenough care should have been taken in terms of styling.
Yami Gautham appears to be a complete misfit for the role of a Sales Girl. Even her character wasn't etched well.
Harshavardhan,rn Surekha Vani and Satyam Rajesh have made a mark. Ashutosh Rana, Nasser rnand Ravi Prakash did justice to their roles. Saptagiri fails yet again rnto evoke laughter.
Unique Plot
Pre Climax & Climax
Love Track
Singerrn Karthik composed three songs and Anup Rubens worked for one track in rn'Courier Boy Kalyan'. Although all the songs were nicely composed, They rndidn't fit in this thriller. Sandeep Chowta's Background Score is rnstrictly Okay. Satya Ponmar's Camera Work is splendid. Kona Venkat and rnHarshavardhan assisted Director for Dialogues. Director Prem Sai would rnhave been succeeded big time had if he focussed only on the central rnplot. Production Values are fine.
Usually, rnHollywood Films last only for anywhere around 90 Minutes as the completern focus would be only on the story. Where as, Most of the Indian Films rnwill have a run time of 2 hr 30 min with inclusion of commercial rnelements such as songs, fights and comedy tracks. But, Adding these rnregular commercial ingredients to a thriller flick like 'Courier Boy rnKalyan' doesn't make any sense.
Inspite of good Story and rninteresting Screenplay, 'Courier Boy Kalyan' fails to hit the bull's eyern due to the unnecessary love track and songs. It would have been a racy rnthriller had if Director focussed only on the subject instead of rnworrying about the commercial angle. Even the short run time of 1 hr 45 rnmin couldn't be the saving grace.
'Courier Boy Kalyan' is hugely rninspired from Hollywood flick 'Premium Rush'. The Stem-Cell Backdrop is rnquite interesting and gives a contemporary feel inspite of 3 years delayrn in the release. All said, Hero's Introduction & Love Track are rnpretty ordinary. To make matters worse, Songs act as speed breakers and rnunwanted comedy tracks play spoilsport. The last half-an-hour has been rnengaging and the Climax is pretty impressive.
Bottomline: 'Unexciting' Delivery!

Mark Twain said "It ain't what you don't know that gets you in trouble; it's what you know for sure that just ain't so." It can rock your world to discover what you thought was true isn't. For example, the solid ground you are standing on isn't solid at all; it's just vibrating energy. You may be judging someone for behaving a certain way. What would it do to your perspective to discover that person may have a valid reason for behaving that way. Let's all learn to walk on water. Listen as I explain:

Election fever is in the air as the Republicans gathered in Cleveland the 18th of July followed by the Democrats in Philadelphia this week. Conventions certainly generate economic activity for their host cities, but there are considerable costs as well. How do cities come up with money for their expenses? Are public funds available? We are all familiar with the box on our tax returns that we check if we want $3 of our tax money to go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. It used to be that a part of that money went to fund party conventions. In 2014, the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act redirected that portion into a ten-year pediatric cancer research fund. While the political parties themselves no longer get taxpayer money to pay for their conventions, grants from the Department of Justice to the cities of Cleveland and Philadelphia played a major role in providing security for the two events.
National Special Security Events
The two political major conventions, along with presidential inaugurations, high-level dignitary visits, world leader summits and prominent sporting contests like the Super Bowl are classified as National Special Security Events (NSSEs). There are several considerations the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security factors in when deciding to classify a gathering as a National Special Security Events (NSSEs), including attendance by dignitaries; the size of the crowds; the event's historical, political or cultural significance; and the potential threat of terrorism or widespread civil disobedience. Once an event is classified as a NSSE, the U.S. Secret Service becomes the lead agency for security. It is up to them to coordinate with federal, state and local law enforcement and public safety agencies to plan, direct and implement security. Typical security activities usually include surveillance, additional law enforcement officers, bomb-sniffing dogs, surveillance, flight restrictions and road closures. A designation as an NSSE event alone does not provide automatic funding, as the Secret Service is not authorized in this area. Congressional appropriations through the DoJ's Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistant Grant made the funds available for the two convention cities.
Security Grants for the 2016 Conventions
The City of Cleveland received $49.9 million from the DoJ for the Republican National Convention. NBC reports that $30 million of that was for personnel and $20 million for equipment. Over 5,000 officers were assigned to the RNC, including an estimated 3,000 federal officers, 2,000 out-of-state federal officers and 500 from the Cleveland Police Department. Purchases to assist them in maintaining security include:
- 10,000 extra sets of plastic handcuffs
- 2,000 sets of riot gear
- 300 bikes for the crowd control officers
- 1,500 body cameras
- A bomb-diffusing robot
Philadelphia received over $43 million from the DoJ for the Democratic National Convention. In April, the Philadelphia local NBC affiliate NBC10 provided a projected breakdown of what the money will be used for:
- $8.03 million for payroll costs including overtime for safety personnel
- $7.70 million for equipment from police radios to sophisticated technology to detect chemical weapons
- $9.66 million for safety supplies like phone batteries and chargers, traffic cones, defibrillators
- $10.7 million for contracts for transportation, parking lots and credentialing
- $1.02 million for sanitation and car rentals
- $550,000 for private security consultants
- $76,000 to cover travel and food for law enforcement
Both cities will get to keep much of the security equipment obtained for the conventions. The ten-page grant approval document and the conditions cities must comply with are available online.

This feels really good on the skin. It is very lightweight. My only problem with it is I don't feel like it does very much to make my foundation look better.
Highly recommend
Really great foundation primer. Not greasy at all. Very light weight. Easy to apply and long lasting. Highly recommend
Photo ready
I love smash box photo finish primer. It's my everyday essential and makes my face look flawless.
I do feel like this product makes me makeup and base last longer but it isn?t very moisturizing. It?s a very silicone feeling primer but it?s not bad.
Not for sensitive skin
I always get this as a sample in beauty bags. It breaks my skin out horribly, so I never use it all over the face. However, it does work relatively well as an eyeshadow primer for me. That being said, I would not purchase this product solely for that purpose. It's too expensive.
Great primer!
Thus primer really fills in my pores, giving my skin a smooth flawless finish. I love it and highly recommend!
One of my all time favorites. It preps the skin beautifully and really helps your make up stay in place.
One of the best primers out there. Makes skin feel soft and smooth and your foundation glides on super easily after using. Only downfall is the price.
I promise you will love this as much as i do
I used a ton of different primers before trying this one after i tried this i never used any other kind this is by far the best ever ill never buy any other brand i would definitely recommend this to any of the ladies it will make a very noticable difference
Great Primer
I have been using this primer for 4 years already and it is such a great product. It applies smoothly and feels very mattifying on the face which is great for foundation application.
