The photo world and foodie world have collided in recent years as the rise of photo-driven social media site, Instagram, has become increasingly popular. People love to share their meals — both professionally made and those they create at home — on social media for their friends and family to see. Cooking classes and workshops, too, provide the independent gourmet housewares industry a chance to make each attendee their own personal influencer as photos get shared and hashtags make their way around the Internet.
However, there is a science to these photos and not every shot can make the cut. Dillon Burke, co-founder of Front Of House Creative, which is a creative digital community management company for restaurants, bars and hospitality venues, spoke exclusively to ON THE TABLE™, supplement to GOURMET INSIDER™, and dished out his top tips for taking the best food photos #forthegram.
Inspiration: Spend a few minutes looking around the web for inspiration — pay attention to surfaces and textures. Make sure to pay attention to how certain ingredients pop on certain backgrounds. Save a few ideas or make some mental notes and then start building your board.
Lighting: The key to any good photo is lighting. This heavily dictates the camera's ability to capture the focus of the image. When you're not at home, or in a studio, pay attention to which light sources you can control. Maybe you can block out the hard overhead light with your body, or position your camera/point of view so as not to block out the light from a window, etc.
Styling: The beauty of food is its universality, but not everyone has a fridge full of 35 cheeses. Pay attention to the colors of your products and don't be afraid if they overlap a little — or a lot. Mix it up and throw some other textures in there to add some visual interest. For example, he noted to add things like crackers, olives or fruit to a cheese board for some further playfulness, depth and dimension.
Composition: Set the scene. Grab a napkin or two, a kitchen tool with an interesting handle, an open jam container. Fill the framing of your image, but try not to distract from the main focus too much.
Options: The beauty of digital and mobile photography is that you can embrace an accuracy-by-volume approach. Shoot a bunch of images from different angles and then review. The plated food will hold up for a couple minutes while you adjust your framing/styling — but just don't keep your guests waiting too long.
Critique: No one will ever be as critical of an image as the person who shot it. Don't let your snaps distract you from the subject. Enjoy the process and enjoy the results.

- How can I prevent users from voiding sales orders if they have linked purchase orders?
- Set File > Company > Master, and set
Restrict S/O Cancel with Uncompleted Line Item P/O Links to Yes.
This option disables the Cancel & Void button on the Sales Order when products linked to Purchase Orders have not yet been received.
If you set this Company Master flag to No, then the Cancel & Void button remains enabled: when you select it, you will see a warning message about the linked purchase orders, but you will be allowed to cancel anyway.

Why I Tether a Verizon 3G iPad 2 to an AT&T iPhone 4
After spending 4.5 hours standing in line to buy an iPad 2 on its first day of availability, I ended up buying a model I did not intend to buy 4.5 hours earlier. My goal was to buy the $599 32GB WiFi-only model. It provided the right mix of price and storage for me. Having used a 16GB WiFi-only iPad 1 for nearly a year, I didn't see a need for a 3G model. However, the 32GB and 64GB WiFi models were sold out by the time I reached the doors of my local Apple Store. In fact, all the 32GB models were sold out as was the AT&T 3G 64GB iPad 2. My choices were a WiFi-only 16GB model (too small) and the 64GB Verizon 3G model. So, I ended the proud owner of a $829 Verizon 3G 64GB iPad 2 which can be purchased without the requirement to purchase a 3G plan.
While toying with the idea of activating Verizon's 3G data plan for my iPad 2, I began thinking about my existing and little used Verizon plan for my Motorola Droid. I was paying nearly $80 per month for a service I rarely used. So, I called Verizon Wireless last week to cancel my Droid service and to see if that action would provide Verizon a reason to sweeten the 3G data plan for the iPad 2. They didn't make any offers. So, here's the arithmetic I looked at and the reason I ended up with a 3G-less Verizon 3G iPad 2 tethered to an AT&T iPhone 4.
1. Verizon's 1GB 3G service for the iPad 2 costs $20 per month. That seemed a little low.
2. Verizon's 3GB per month plan costs $35.
3. The iPad 2 cannot be used as a mobile hotspot (tether other WiFi devices to its 3G data)
4. My iPhone 4's grandfathered unlimited 3G data plan cost $30 per month
5. AT&T's tethered 4GB per month 3G data plan costs $45 per month. Any three of my WiFi enabled devices can share its 3G data service – This includes my iPad 2. The net increase in my monthly recurring fee is $15.
So, tethering my Verizon 3G iPad 2 to an AT&T iPhone 4 ended up:
– Less expensive: $15 net monthly increase vs. $20 or $35
– Providing more data: 4GB vs. 3GB
– Letting me tether any WiFi-enabled device including my iPad 2
– Providing the ability to make or accept voice calls without dropping a tethered data session
And, since I also dropped the Verizon voice+data plan for my Droid, I ended up with a net $65 per month savings (80-15) at the cost of my former AT&T unlimited 3G plan.
I've found myself tethering an iPad, MacBook, or netbook to my iPhone 4 far more frequently than I thought I would. These have all been for relatively short sessions and for light activity (mostly email and some web browsing). Even these brief tethered periods were very useful to me. AT&T's iPhone 4 app reports that I've used 69.34MB of my 4GB data since April 2. I don't think it captured my initial tests before they started the billing cycle, so let's call it 100MB of data. Careful use of 3G tethered access should keep me well below my monthly 4GB data cap. This means no video streaming, system updates, or any other large data activities that I can avoid. Email with attachments is a tricky one. I need to look at my current MacBook/netbook email client (Thunderbird) and see if I can tell it not to download attachments automatically.

Software Solutions: On the `Net, Not in the Box
A New Company Built for Vlogging
Princeton University Embraces Podcasts

Hodges Miller were prepared for the January 4, 2006 issue of U.S. 1

Business Survival 2006: The Internet — For Fun, But Also
For Real
Everyone is on the Internet at work – maybe conducting research, or
E-mailing clients, but also shopping, watching movie trailers and live
ball games, and reading the newspaper, and looking for dates. Workers
are finding new ways to use the Internet every day, sometimes for
personal reasons, sometimes for fun – and occasionally even for work.
Now employers are finding new ways to use the Internet as well, not as
a time waster, but rather as a revenue booster. Doctors and lawyers
are turning to blogs, which are basically online journals in the form
of a running commentary with links to further information, as a way to
gain exposure, find new patients or clients, and build a reputation –
all at a tiny fraction of the cost of putting out a newsletter.
Marketing firms are offering to put together daily blogs for clients
who don't have the time to use this medium themselves, but who are
finding alternatives such as custom magazines prohibitively expensive
and not very effective.
Video casting, long promoted as a way to cut business travel by
substituting desktop meetings for trips to far-flung branch offices
and clients' locations, appears to be ready for prime time thanks to
new software and increasing adoption of high-bandwidth Internet
connections. Once so jerky and fuzzy that it was more an annoyance
than a business tool, the technology combines audio and video to
create a virtual meeting may finally be here.
At the same time, "vlogging" is showing early promise as a whole new
advertiser-supported medium, and also a way for artists and other
professionals to build a following. Similar to blogging, vlogging adds
a moving image to a message. Individuals can create and edit vlogs on
their own, or they can turn to new companies, including one just
launching in the Princeton area, to handle everything from editing to
hosting – all at no cost.
Meanwhile, podcasting, vlogging's audio counterpart, is being used to
build business, cement client relationships, and pull in advertising
revenue. A podcast can be anything from a movie review to a sermon to
commentary on a recent Supreme Court ruling. It can be a few minutes
long or can stretch to hours. The medium was given a big boost in July
when Apple launched a free podcasting directory. Anyone can post on
it, and anyone can access all of the material at no cost on a one-time
basis or can subscribe to a particular podcast and receive each new
installment by E-mail. Area organizations ranging from law firms to
churches are already podcasting.
All of these Internet off-shoots are in their infancy, prompting
adventurous entrepreneurs and established companies alike to find ways
to turn them into profitable ventures. But while vlogging, blogging,
and podcasting will become businesses for some, they are surprisingly
inexpensive, easy-to-use tools ready for any business to use.
So young are these technologies that their names are only now starting
to spread the way that "E-mail" did just over a decade ago, back in
the days before Amazon and Ebay, when the word "spam" conjured up only
an image of unappetizing canned meat. Already, though, the name of one
of these new technologies has become the "word of the year" in the New
Oxford Dictionary.

Law Blog Takes Off
When Richard DeLuca became director of business development at the law
firm of Stark & Stark on Lenox Drive in May, 2004, he brought a
question with him. "How am I going to market better?" he recalls
thinking. He soon had a one-word answer: blogging. The online
discussions of legal issues and news would be helpful, he reasoned,
because "more and more clients are using the `Net to search for legal
information." With a blog, it is easy to put out this information on a
timely basis.
DeLuca, a Rutgers graduate (Class of 1998), was emboldened to suggest
the concept a good year before most people had even heard of it, he
says, because "Stark & Stark understands technological changes." Still
he met with a lot of "what's that? what's that?" reactions. Now, less
than 18 months after the firm's first blogs appeared online, he has
attorneys waiting their turns to post blogs – and to turn them into
Stark & Stark is one of only two New Jersey firms that are blogging –
Lowenstein Sandler is the other. "I'm surprised more aren't doing
this," says DeLuca. His explanation is that "change is at glacial
speed for law firms."
The upside of blogging for Stark & Stark has been huge. "We've had
about 55,000 visits," says DeLuca, "and many are repeat visits." The
firm is finding that many of its blog readers are returning five, six,
seven, or eight times. Many attorneys in the firm, all of whom sign
their blogs, have gained clients as a direct result of the blogs.
Blogging attorneys have also been contacted by newspapers for
interviews on their areas of expertise. "We've had eight media
placements as a result of reporters reading the blogs," he says.
Beyond the added exposure, one of DeLuca's figures in support of blogs
is bound to strike a chord with business of all kinds.
"We had E-newsletters before we had blogs," he says. "The annual cost
of blogs is one-tenth the cost of the newsletters." The firm, he adds,
no longer publishes the newsletters.
Between 30 and 40 of Stark & Stark's attorneys blog regularly. The
firm's first blog was on traumatic brain injury. It was written by
Bruce Stern, a specialist in that area of law. Following the standard
format for this new medium, Stern's posts are short – just a paragraph
or two – and point the reader toward more information.
A recent post about protective soccer head gear, for example, links to
a letter from the president of a local Pee-Wee soccer association
writing on the subject. It is part of an ongoing discussion on the
blog about possible changes to soccer safety regulations. Other topics
on the blog include news of a new acute care facility in California,
new motorcycle helmet regulations in Ohio, and medical advances in the
treatment of head injuries. Everything is succinct, topical, and of
interest to those who have suffered brain injury or who litigate on
their behalf.
Stern's is a standalone blog. The firm's other blogs are aggregated
under the heading "Law Blog" (www.njlawblog.com). The main page of the
blog mixes areas of practice, but links to postings in 15 legal
specialties march down the left-hand side of the page. Someone
interested only in one area, perhaps environmental, real estate, or
employment law, can go directly to the blog for that specialty.
As is common with all blogs, the Stark & Stark blogs contain lists of
links to other Internet sites that would probably be of interest to
readers. They also allow for questions and comments and give the law
firm the ability to filter out any irrelevant or obnoxious postings,
functions that are also near-universal in blogs. Unlike many less
sophisticated blogs, those posted by Stark & Stark have a search
function. It is more common for blogs to just archive past posts,
sometimes by topic, sometimes not.
From a marketing standpoint, a big plus for blogs is that they make it
easy for anyone to get them by subscription. Just click on a link, and
each new blog is delivered to an E-mail inbox. This makes blogs vastly
preferable to E-newsletters, says DeLuca, because they are, by nature,
opt-in. No one who doesn't specifically ask for the blogs will get
them. Superior psychologically to E-newsletters, which are often seen
as spam, they are also superior technologically, he says, because they
zip right through any spam filters totally unmolested.
Another upside to blogs is that they make it easy to measure results.
Counters on blog websites compute number of visitors and even track
where they come from. Are they clicking over from another site, from a
search engine, or maybe from a newspaper site? The counter knows. Are
they coming back again and again? The counter knows that too. New
business is also easy to track. Blog visitors may start up a
relationship with an attorney right in the blog by, for example,
asking questions. There is a link to each attorney's bio and contact
information right on the blog, making it easy for potential clients –
or reporters in search of a source – to get in touch by phone too.
Members of his firm who blog spend about one to one-and-a-half hours a
week on updates, says DeLuca. He conducted training sessions soon
after he introduced the new communication tool, but says that it is
incredibly easy to master blogging. How hard is it? "It's like writing
an E-mail," he says.
Last summer DeLuca added a new wrinkle to the blogs by turning some of
them into podcasts, which, basically, are just audio versions of the
blogs. Through an incredible coincidence, Stark & Stark's podcasts
went live on July 1, the very day that I-music giant Apple also became
the world's I-audio giant by unveiling a vast catalog of free podcast
downloads on its iTunes website. As one of only a handful of legal
podcasters, Stark & Stark comes up right away on an iTunes search. It
has posted 19 podcasts to iTunes (a totally free service for both
posters and listeners) and they have already been downloaded more than
8,000 times.
Like all podcasts posted on iTunes, the Stark & Stark legal updates
can either be listened to on the website (www.apple.com/itunes) or can
be downloaded to an iPod MP3 player.
DeLuca says that the results for his new media initiatives "blow away"
the numbers for E-newsletters, which were, after all, new media
themselves way back in the beginning of the 21st century. He also
shares his favorite E-marketing websites – both of which, probably not
coincidentally, are blogs. They are Digg (www.digg.com), which is all
about new media, and Micro Persuasion (www.micropersuasion.com), the
blog of PR superstar Steve Rubel, who, in early-December posted a note
on the New Oxford Dictionary's decision to crown "podcast" as its 2005
word of the year.

Software Solutions: On the `Net, Not in the Box
Generating less buzz than the niftily named blogs, vlogs, and podcasts
are next generation software products. With Microsoft's recent
introduction of its Live family of products, it appears that software
too is setting up shop on the Internet, rather than in shrink-wrapped
packages on store shelves.
David Spivak is the founder of Hightstown-based Design Solutions, a
company with a specialty in building functionality into websites. He
says that there are a number of new ways that employers can make their
offices' Internet terminals, which are already enriching employee's
work days, enrich their companies as well.
"A creative mind can think of tons of uses for the Internet," he says.
"Some of them are obvious, some not so obvious." Spivak founded his
company in "the mid-1980s, just before the computer revolution." He
received his degree in art from Parsons School of Design, and says he
is glad that he learned his craft before the computer age. "I'm
grounded in the basics," he explains. When computers and the Internet
came along, he was ready to learn something new and adapt it to his
business, which has five full-time employees and two part-time
There are countless other ways to use the Internet, he says. Some are
already common in larger company, while others are brand new. Here are
some tasks that can now be handled over the Internet. Most are not as
much fun as looking at the dating possibilities offered by Match.com,
tracking bids on eBay auctions, or finding hot bargains on
Overstock.com, but all can keep employees busy boosting the company's
bottom line.
Job tracking. This is an Internet application that Spivak himself uses
every day in his own business. Job tracking, he explains, allows his
employees to log onto a website and chart his progress on a task, and
see what he should be doing next. "When someone finishes a project, he
can log on and see what the next scheduled project is," says Spivak.
The site includes the date the job needs to be completed and the type
of work that needs to be done. Employees can see which jobs most suit
their talents or can jump onboard to help colleagues finish up a
project that is nearing deadline.
Often several employees are working simultaneously on different parts
of the same job. For example, he says, his company recently finished
work on a game project. Every portion of the project needed to be
coordinated, and job tracking allowed different staff members to
easily work on different portions of the job, such as packaging
designs, gameboard, or card designs.
While job tracking has not totally eliminated the need for staff
meetings, Spivak says it has freed him to work on other areas of his
business. "I'm the sales arm of the company," he says. "With job
tracking it is much easier for the office to function without me being
right there all the time."
Not only can employees log onto the job tracking site, but Spivak's
clients can also receive a password that allows them to look at their
own job and see its progress.
Medical records. Spivak suggests that doctors can use the Internet in
several ways, including putting medical records on the `Net (password
protected, of course), where they can easily be sent to a referring
physician for a second opinion. X-rays, MRIs, or CAT scans could also
be put on a website so that several consulting physicians could look
at them – all at the same time – from different locations.
Online tech support. The Internet is a great way to offer technical
assistance to customers, says Spivak, who suggests that "little movies
showing how to install or repair something are a great way to help
Sales support. The Internet is ideal for "cross selling," says Spivak.
Companies can easily track what types of items a customer purchases,
then make special offers or coupons that are personalized for the
customer's needs.
Custom tailored buying incentives. Spivak mentions a Manhattan-based
florist who wanted to offer delivery service nationwide. "He was able
to limit the range of choices the client could make by zip code," he
says. Clients in nearby zip codes could order from the entire range of
offerings. Clients who lived farther from the store's base had fewer
In addition, the florist could offer discounts based on zip codes as a
way of attracting sales within a easy delivery area. The customer
could type in a special code and get the discount.
Interactive calendars. Many companies are now using interactive
calendars to help their employees track meetings and deadlines, he
says. The calendar can be downloaded to a PDA so that the employee can
receive updates or change his schedule even when he is away from the
Meeting software. New software allows people to work on documents
simultaneously in different locations. With the use of webcams and the
software, the Internet becomes a global conference room.
The Internet's interactive abilities have already changed the way we
do business. In the coming decade, Spivak predicts, the pace of change
will only accelerate.

A New Company Built for Vlogging
`There was a lot of buzz about video casting in 2000," says Simon
Tidnam, "but not a lot of broadband was deployed." Now, thanks to the
feverish efforts of cable and telephone companies, bandwidth is way up
– both in the office and at home. Taking advantage of faster, more
commodious Internet pipes is start-up Clique Communications. Tidnam is
the director of marketing for the 50-person vlogging company, which
recently settled into offices at 205 Rockingham Row in Princeton
Forrestal Village.
Clique is going after both the consumer and the corporate business in
a two-pronged attack that currently features tests of its video
casting software at telecom companies and the deployment of a Hummer
with a "giant" built-in plasma screen to spread the good news about
vlogging to college students and up-and-coming Indie bands.
Clique is wholly-owned by Innovativ Systems (www.inovsys.com), a
20-year-old Edison-based private company that designs, procures,
assembles, tests, and configures custom computer systems for
businesses. Ever since the Internet passed from fad to business tool
clients had been asking for video casting, says Tidnam. There was a
lot of hype, but the face-to-face virtual meetings never got off the
ground. Still, Innovativ wanted to prepare for the day when the
bandwidth to make video casting clear and easy was in place.
Toward that end, relates Tidnam, Innovativ acquired Legato Video and
Netgen Video. "They had a lot of Sarnoff people," he says. The two
tech-heavy companies had an "excellent" portfolio of patents and
valuable client lists. Their staffs formed the nucleus of Clique,
leaving the company, says Tidnam, with the task of "going from code to
products." Clique, which moved into and began re-fitting its offices
in May, and began a beta launch of some of its products in
mid-December, has now added sales and marketing staff. The company is
headed by Jim Spinella, who came over from Innovativ.
Tidnam, a graduate of the University of Edinburg, recently joined
Clique. He was previously with Wavexpress. While he holds a master's
degree in literature, he says that he was "drawn to the technology
business." He met his wife, Hannah Winarsky, a graduate of Vassar,
while she was taking her junior year in Scotland. She is the art and
literature editor at Princeton University Press. The couple lives in
The company for which Tidnam is busy devising a marketing strategy has
a split personality – alternating between button-down and
wild-and-crazy. Its corporate website
(www.inovsys.com/solutions/cliquevm.htm) features clip art of intense
business types tapping on Palm Pilots, studying reports, and having
earnest conversations. It talks about how "businesses of every kind
are leveraging video conferencing and collaboration systems to improve
productivity, reduce costs, and enable more effective communication.
It's recently become clear that an efficient video communication
system is no longer a luxury – it's a critical component to any
successful business plan."
Click over to one of Clique's consumer websites.
Vlogcrazy (www.vlogcrazy.com) urges us – one and all – to "watch new
friends, tell your story, become a star." The graphics are high
energy, the message is: "Ever wanted your own TV show? Here's your
"Talented?" the website asks. "Want to be the next Jon Stewart or Bill
O'Reilly? How about the next Paris Hilton or Tara Reid? Here's the
chance to show the world what you can do."
Clique has separate business models for its corporate and consumer
products. On the corporate side, Tidnam says, the company is planning
to license software to telecoms and cable companies. The software, he
explains, is designed to create the best possible videocast quality by
checking network conditions on each side at the time of the video call
and adjusting accordingly. The software also takes different
bandwidths into consideration. In the past, he says, the poor quality
that caused so many people to abandon video conferences was a result
of one person's computer operating at a significantly higher level
than the other's.
The stronger network connection overpowered the weaker, or the weaker
dragged down the stronger. The result was a fuzzy picture and tinny
sound. Clique's software, now in tests at telecom companies, is
designed to detect the strength of each signal and to connect all the
video conference parties with the optimum picture and sound their
disparate connections allow at any given moment.
Clique's software will work with any PC as well as with video enabled
phones. Who will sell the video handsets? "Not us," says Tidnam.
Motorola is now making some – at a price of $700 to $800. This is
pricey, even for the corporate market, he admits, saying that video
handsets are still "at an early stage."
So really, despite any number of false starts, is videocasting.
Promoted as the future for what feels like decades, it has never
caught on. "It is awkward the first couple of times," Tidnam admits.
But, he insists, it soon becomes natural to look at the person to whom
you are speaking via computer or phone. It fosters better
communication around the office, and makes collaboration between
offices or with clients more effective. And, of course, an ease with
video meetings – conducted with a minimum of hissing and fade-outs –
could hold the promise of less business travel.
Back on the consumer side, Clique is planning an ad-supported model
for its Vlogcrazy website. But it's still way too early to go after
advertisers, says Tidnam. The plan is to first encourage garage bands
to go online with short clips of their songs, to talk about their
music, communicate with fans, and promote their upcoming appearances.
Once a base of bands is onboard, perhaps in six months, Clique will
look for advertisers. Established bands pitching new albums would be a
natural fit, he says. A visitor to the website could look at a few
vlog entries and then would see an video ad (a vad?).
The Vlogcrazy site is free for all users. It is as easy to use as a
blog, its print cousin, says Tidnam. (Blogs, by the way, are now so
easy to use that any adult can put one up in under 10 minutes, even
without the help of a grandchild.)
Vlogcrazy users record a segment, preview it, and then push a button
to publish it to the web. Vlogcrazy provides the editing tools and
hosts the vlogs. Everyone who creates an ongoing vlog will have a vlog
address, perhaps www.MyCoolBand.vlogcrazy.com., just the way that
bloggers using the popular Blogger service (www.blogger.com), which is
owned by Google, have a blogger address – maybe
MyCoolBand.blogspot.com. Fans can bookmark the sites and check
in for updates.
"It gives all of those people with videocams somewhere to go," says
Tidnam. For anyone who has misplaced or broken the videocam he got for
Christmas four years ago, when the little devices were last hot,
Clique is selling a nifty goose-neck videocam of its own design on its
website for $39.95. The slinky cam is designed to clip onto a flat
screen, attach to a laptop, or sit on a desk. Clique holds the patent
on the webcam and has just signed a distribution agreement with
Toshiba. In the works, says Tidnam, is a high definition (HD) webcam.
It will sell for substantially more, perhaps something in the range of
$130, but, he says, "the pictures are crystal clear."
Bands seem to be a natural vlog target, says Tidnam, especially
because an obvious advertiser base exists. The company also has some
interest in going after the Internet dating market in light of the
wild popularity of sites like Myspace.com. "But we're not quite sure
how to do it yet," he says.
Meanwhile, the Clique Hummer is going to start making the rounds of
colleges, calling on another natural target demographic, in
early-January. "Stanford has expressed strong interest," says Tidnam,
who plans to ship the Hummer to the West Coast early in the new year.
"It's cheap marketing," he says of the over-sized vehicle with the
plasma screen. It's also a splashy first step for a new company built
around the bet that vlogging will become as popular as blogging, and
that the time for office video conferences has finally arrived.

Sermons to Go
Let's say you wake up on a Sunday morning to find two feet of snow on
the ground. Or maybe the day is fair, but you are feeling foul. If you
are a congregant at Nassau Presbyterian church in Princeton, you can
remain safely indoors without missing a word. This is so because the
church has just started podcasting its sermons. Anyone can go to
Apple's iTunes website, at www.apple.com/itunes, and either listen to
the sermon right there – starting on the Monday after it is delivered
– or download it to an iPod MP3 player. It is also possible to access
the sermons, along with all manner of church news, via RSS, Really
Simple Syndication. The church, now celebrating the 250th anniversary
of Presbyterian presence in Princeton, offers an excellent RSS
tutorial on its website, www.nassauchurch.org.
Rick Seaholm, a graduate of the University of Massachusetts (Class of
1999) and an administrative assistant at the church, is the person to
thank for this totally free service. "When podcasts first became
popular, I started to look at requirements to get one off the ground,"
he says. "Over the summer I fiddled around, looked at other websites
to see how others were using podcasts." He has found that about 70 New
Jersey churches are now putting sermons in the new medium.
The leap to podcasts was not too much of a jump for Nassau
Presbyterian. The church has a sound room for recording and has been
streaming sermons to its website (www.nassauchurch.org) for nearly two
years. A sound room is not necessary. The only equipment a podcaster
needs is a computer and a microphone, but the sound room does provide
for good sound quality.
"The nice thing about a podcast," says Seaholm, "is that users can
subscribe, so it goes to them automatically." Subscriptions are going
up each week, and, he says, "many people have written and said it's a
great idea." Sermon podcast fans include not only the homebound, but
also Princeton-area students attending out-of-state colleges and
traveling parishioners. Interestingly, the podcasts are not only
drawing people with an attachment to Seaholm's church. Comments on the
podcasted sermons, still in their infancy, have come from as far away
as Michigan.
Okay, but what is the danger that a less than zealous minister from a
distant state will appropriate the sermons? "We put a copyright on
them," says Seaholm. Still, he wouldn't be shocked at any instances of
sermon podcast piracy. Sermons are already out on the `Net in written
form, and, he says, "we know of instances of people who steal them.
It's something they have to live with."
Shrugging off potential piracy, Seaholm says that podcasting is "one
of the more exciting things I've seen this year. Now everyone can have
a voice."

Princeton University Embraces Podcasts
Here's another new word, that you may think you know, but you actually
may not: "podcast." I thought I knew because I knew about iPods, those
little rectangular boxes connected via earphones to nearly every kid I
pass, and many adults, too. I assumed they were simply updated CD
players – with lots of storage – for listening to musical favorites.
Now I find out from Donna Liu, executive director of the University
Channel at Princeton University, that the listening possibilities are
decidedly not limited to music, but include podcasts. Popular podcasts
include everything from movie reviews to mainstream magazine cover
stories to university lectures.
Liu has been developing this podcasting venture
(uc.princeton.edu/main/) with the support of the Woodrow Wilson
School. This venture collects non-classroom academic lectures from
Princeton and other universities worldwide and distributes them both
to individuals and to conventional television outlets over the
Internet, via podcasts. The lecture collection will eventually grow
into a searchable, global, online library of videocasts.
Slate's Andy Bowers picked the University Channel as his Pod Pick of
the Week on November 11 and Campus Technology's December 1 issue
selected its vodcasting (essentially video podcasting) lectures as
among the top 100 "best practices the year."
Right after I spoke to Liu, I started hearing about podcasts
everywhere – during my next interview, while listening to "Science
Friday" on public radio, and when perusing the New York Times website.
Although the terminology of this new technology sounds esoteric, the
concept is fairly simple. Podcasts are files containing digital audio
that are available for listening "on demand" – you can download them
at your own convenience from wherever they are posted on the Internet.
Then you can listen to them on your computer, or burn them to a CD for
listening in the car, or download them to your MP3/audio player for
anytime listening.
The University Channel was Liu's idea. When she arrived at Princeton
University in 2002 as a Ferris Professor (a two-year teaching
fellowship for mid-career journalists), she was on leave from an
18-year career at CNN, and had substantial production experience. At
Princeton Liu says she was "struck by the tremendous lectures
available all over campus," and as a TV producer, she thought,
"Wouldn't it be great if more people could see these?"
Liu decided to do a little calling around. Many universities had been
filming or audiotaping lectures for archival purposes, but often they
did not have effective means for sharing the wealth. Liu's vision
would solve that problem. "Distribution takes only one person to
develop," she says, "and many universities will be able to take
advantage of it."
The dean of the Woodrow Wilson School enthusiastically supported her
idea. "He gave me the chance to prove the concept and build
membership," she says, and the entire university supported its
development. "What made it possible was teamwork." The Office of
Information Technology helped with webpod issues, for example, and the
Educational Technologies Center designed the website and has helped
with network and video issues.
The University Channel is still in start-up mode as it builds its
administrative structure. It went public in July with a beta version
of the website. Liu says the channel is close to reaching the five
charter members who will serve as a steering committee. So far the
committee includes Princeton, Columbia, Middlebury, the University of
Texas, and one member yet to be announced. Although actual membership
is still small, Liu says that a couple of dozen institutions have
contributed material.
Members are welcome to use the channel's material for programming on
their television and radio stations and can be distributors
themselves. Other forms of distribution take the material beyond
campus walls. "The point is to create a public service," says Liu, "to
make the intellectual expertise available on university campuses
available to the public."
The channel's initial focus is public and international affairs. "We
are specifically looking for the kinds of discussions that are aimed
at solving the world's problems – war, poverty, hunger, and disease,"
says Liu.
Some samples now accessible on the site include: "American Media:
Still the Fourth Estate?" by Bill Keller; "The Outlook for the Global
Economy," by Robert Rubin; "A Conversation with Bill Gates";
"Democratizing Innovation" by Eric von Hippel; and a podcasting
symposium from Duke University.
Liu estimates the rate of downloads since University Channel podcasts
appeared in the iTunes music store (www.apple.com/itunes) as a couple
of lectures a minute, on average. Apple's iTunes includes a vast
number of podcasts, which are easy to search. The channel doesn't yet
have software to read statistics by number of downloads, but does have
a measure of demand on its bandwidth.
Liu says many universities are experimenting with podcasting. Stanford
launched an effort through the iTunes music store. Duke University
last year issued an iPod to every incoming freshman as an experiment.
"The iPod is really a portable hard drive," says Liu, "and they wanted
to see how many ways the kids could use it." Purdue has been using
podcasting internally so that students can review lectures they
missed, although Liu says that some faculty members have resisted this
application for fear students will stop coming to their classes
The next step, which adds video, is the vodcast, which Liu says is
more difficult to implement because of bandwidth issues. Princeton
Channel uses vodcasting sparingly – only with lectures that are
especially well produced – not the usual single-camera recordings of
most lectures.
Before she arrived in Princeton for a temporary stay that has now
become permanent, Liu spent seven years with CNN International setting
up a production facility in Hong Kong to create programs about Asia,
featuring Asian people. Liu had started in CNN as a news producer back
when CNN was all in one newsroom. "In the early days, you still had to
explain who you were when calling on a story," she remembers. She grew
with CNN, as a producer and manager, with opportunities to develop
with the company as it became a major media outlet. The American-born
Liu had studied Chinese at the University of Rochester and then
started her career as a freelance reporter in Asia for CBS, Newsweek,
and AP. "Hong Kong was one of those places that had great promise, a
real hub of Asia," she says. "If you were interested in news in Asia,
you would have lots of opportunities."
So where will the University Channel go from here? One goal as it
expands its staff will be to hire an archivist, because eventually the
channel will host an archive and perhaps also an index to other
people's archives. Funding will be combination of membership dues,
foundation grants, and corporate sponsorships.
Liu is now getting some nibbles from people overseas who are
interested in participating, from places like the National University
of Singapore and some Canadian universities. "In five years, we would
like to be a global service," says Liu. "There are no geographical
limitations to this kind of media distribution, and particularly in
terms of the discussion of international affairs, it is imperative to
go global. There are no language restrictions. It's just question of
time and effort."

FOXBORO (CBS) – Massachusetts Gov. Charlie said Wednesday that despite positive coronavirus trends in recent days, non-essential businesses in the state will not be allowed to reopen prior to the targeted date of May 18.
Baker made the remarks outside Gillette Stadium following a Massachusetts State Police swearing in ceremony.
A mandatory face mask order went into effect for Massachusetts starting Wednesday.
"Our goal starting on May 18 is to begin reopening certain types of businesses in a limited fashion, where it can be done more safely than under normal operations. But this phased in process can't begin until we see sustained downward trends in many of the data elements that we talk about every day," said Baker.
Baker noted that face coverings will be expected at all times in grocery stores, retail stores, and on public transportation.
Residents are asked not to wear medical grade masks in order to save those for healthcare workers, first responders, emergency management personnel, and public safety workers
"Since we issued the order, we have heard time and time again from people who work in the public transportation system, people who work in pharmacies, people who work in grocery stores, and people who face customers as essential businesses during this pandemic, have thanked us time and time again for putting mechanisms in place to ensure the safety not just of their customers, but also themselves and their families," said Baker.
Baker has faced growing questions from the golf industry in recent days. Vermont and New Hampshire announced plans to reopen in the near future, and Wednesday afternoon Maryland's governor said courses can welcome golfers back Thursday morning.
As a result, Massachusetts is now the only state where it is not clear when golfers can return to courses.
The governor was asked specifically about golf during his Wednesday press briefing after recent comments from a course owner who said she planned to open despite the order.
"Let's hope and anticipate that people don't start breaking the law. That would be a bad thing," said Baker.
"We gave them [cities and towns] the ability, up to a certain level, to issue both warnings and fines. It's my expectation that that won't be necessary."
People need to wake up!!! Letting any politician decide what is essential and what isn't is a recipe for disaster!!! NO Governor should have the power to force any business to close unless the business is breaking existing laws like selling booze to minors.
Forget it, the MA economy is doomed! That said, the biz owners have rolled over, and they deserve what they get. Protest and the Globe and Jon Keller label you a MAGA radical.
when you Gus be open may 18

For more information on the battles' navigation, please visit here.
Versus Jaeger is the third battle that occurred during the fourth day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow. The battle happened between the Allied Team members Tsunayoshi Sawada, Green Moska, Byakuran, Xanxus, Superbia Squalo, Dino, Kyoya Hibari, Mukuro Rokudo, Chrome Dokuro, Fran, Enma Kozato and Team Bermuda's Jaeger.
Prelude[edit | edit source]
The elite members of the Allied Team confront Jaeger and Bermuda von Veckenschtein to prevent them from going to assist Big Pino and Small Gia.
Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Byakuran attacks Jaeger first with his White Dragon. Jaeger easily and quickly defeats the dragon and instantly appears behind Xanxus, cutting off his right arm. Superbia Squalo attacks Jaeger, but Jaeger shatters Squalo's sword before stabbing through his chest. Jaeger finds out that it's real blood and he didn't kill an illusion. This shocks everyone in place. Xanxus orders Squalo to stand up, but Squalo doesn't move, angering Xanxus and making his scars more prominent. Verde comments that Jaeger is too powerful, which Reborn agrees as he thinks that the situation is bad with Jaeger's intent to kill.
Mukuro is wondering how they can stop Jaeger from short warping to their backs. Shells materialise behind them just as Jaeger strikes Byakuran. Dino realises that it is a steel cover made by Mukuro using Verde's device. However, Jaeger calls it a useless trick and stabs Byakuran through his chest, making him bleed profusely. Uni's group reveals themselves and wonders if Jaeger can warp part of his body. Byakuran grabs Jaeger's hand and tells Xanxus that this is his chance. Xanxus shoots but it misses as Jaeger appears in front of Xanxus and attacks his legs using chains. Xanxus cries out in pain and falls to his knee before collapsing, unconscious.
Reborn says that Jaeger's strength exceeds his expectations and they will not be able to resist until Tsuna arrives. Verde releases his curse and thus, the power of his flames increase, boosting the power of his weapons. Also, with longer limbs, he can control a wider range of objects. Verde commands Spanner to fire. As the object flies, Verde leaps into it and it is revealed to be a Green Moska. Verde explains that he used the latest mosca frame built by Spanner and loaded it with his advance weapons to create a super robot. Jaeger attacks by short warping his hands, causing Green Moska to malfunction due to the detection of multiple heat sources. The disembodied hands slice through Green Moska's arms easily and it falls to pieces.
Jaeger moves on to his next target, Mukuro, and appears behind him. Mukuro attempts to block the assault but his trident breaks and he is injured. Jaeger prepares to stab Mukuro again but finds his hand binded by Dino. However, by short warping and leaving his hand behind, Jaeger slashes Dino's torso. Jaeger's hand escapes the bullwhip and heads for Dino's face but it is deflected by Hibari, who tells Dino that he has repaid his debt. Hibari attacks Jaeger, who deflects the attack. Reborn wonders why Jaeger did not make use of his short warp. Hibari and Mukuro reveal that they had noticed too. However, Jaeger comments that his short warp has no weakness.
Hibari and Mukuro conceal themselves behind the needle spheres created by Hibari. Jaeger attacks but ends up destroying more of Mukuro's flame decoys. Hibari finds a chance and attacks with his Vongola Gear once more. However does not work as Jaeger is able to short warp and reappear behind Hibari. Before Jaeger's attack can land, he is punched in the face by Tsuna.
Tsuna clashes with Jaeger and is promptly kicked away. Tsuna notices that Jaeger did not short warp and the latter is breathing heavily like Small Gia did. Jaeger attacks again, but was stopped by Chrome, Enma, and Fran. After Jaeger incapacitates the three of them and once again did not short warp from Hibari's attack, Tsuna realizes that the Vindice rely on Bermuda's Flame of Night to recharge their energy as they cannot produce Flame of Night on their own. Wonomichi promptly appears and forbids Bermuda from recharging Jaeger or making any contact wth him unless he release his curse. Jaeger attacks Tsuna again, but Hibari and Mukuro stops him. Jaeger attacks Mukuro and Hibari at the same time, which give Mukuro an opportunity to hold Jaeger's movement. Tsuna attacks with X-Burner with the help of the gravity ability from Enma's ring to prevent the attack from hitting Hibari and Mukuro to blast Jaeger away.
Aftermath[edit | edit source]
Before Tsuna can finish Jaeger off, Bermuda releases his curse and discards his robes and bandages, revealing a pale, sickly-looking young man emanating the Flame of Night.

bill-swift - May 4, 2016
It's no secret that I light a candle each evening with the hope that Kate Beckinsale will sneak in through my bedroom window that night and make me her sex slave until morning. The woman has needs. I can't even begin to express my own deficiencies on that same front. She's just the uber-sextastic MILF of my many waking and REM sleep dreams. The mom I most want to spank my bum and then insist I still didn't seem to be getting the message. Bare bottom has to come next, right, Kate?
The British brunette Forties and Faptastic stunner was in a black slit dress showing off her legs and veteran sextastic figure on the red carpet for Love and Friendship which sounds exactly like a movie I'll laugh at the men in line with their significant others to see. Only it has Kate Beckinsale, so a muffled laugh followed by me sneaking into the theater during the moments she's onscreen. She kind of drives me mad. You might experience the same feelings of belustment upon seeing her slinky dress. Best mom ever. Enjoy.

"4 Easy Steps to Improve Your Cooking" is a collaborative post. Please see the disclosure page for more information. Disclaimer – always verify medical information with your doctor or a professional.
Whether or not you consider yourself to be particularly proficient at cooking, it is something that you might have always wanted to try and improve upon. After all, everyone loves a good meal! If you can become that one person that people think of as the good cook of the group, you can be sure that it will lead to great things. Wherever you are starting from, there are plenty of steps you can take in order to improve your cooking in no time at all. In this article that is what we are going to try and get to the bottom of. What is it that will really improve your cooking, and how easily can you learn and utilize those things?
Hopefully, you should be able to improve your cooking now by just considering some of the following things…
The Elements Of Cooking
There has been a lot of talk, and plenty of books written, around the elements of cooking. It is not really a hard science, but more of an art – and yet it is one that you can get better at through study and diligent practice. There are certain elements to cooking which you can consider if you want to improve your own meals, and one of the ways to look at this is based on a book and series of lessons by renowned chef Samin Nosrat. His way of looking at the basic elements of cooking is known as 'salt fat acid heat' after the four elements that he considers to be the most important of all.
Looking at each of these in turn, we can appreciate how important they might be to cook any meal as well as possible. Salt is obviously important as a taste enhancer, and there are very few savory dishes which don't use any salt at all, or at least something in its place such as soy sauce in Thai cooking. The main trick here is ensuring that you are using the right amount – but you also need to think about when you are seasoning the meal too. In many cases, the best method is to add a tiny amount of salt at various stages of the cooking. If you add it all at the end, you are unlikely to really have the same effect, and you might just end up with a big taste of salt on top of the meal. Get this right, and your cooking will already be much improved, so it's an important place to start.
As for fat, this is where much of the flavor actually originates from. Salt may enhance it, but without any fat at all, there is nothing to enhance. This is true even of something simple like a walnut – it is its fatty aspect which makes it delicious. So you need to make sure that you are controlling the fatty element of your dish well if you hope for there to be any flavor in it whatsoever. This also applies to how you cook the food, as usually you will need to use some kind of fat – oil, butter – in order to cook something off in the first place. Clearly, that is going to affect the dish to some degree or another.
Acid & Heat
These two elements are simple enough for most people to understand, but the next one might not be something you think about quite as much. Indeed, you might even be wondering what we could possibly mean by 'acid'. But it's very simple, and understanding this is enough to elevate your cooking to a really much more enjoyable level indeed. The acid in a dish is anything that provides a sharp contrast. Often, this will be something like a citrus fruit, as in the case of many seafood dishes and Asian cuisine. But it doesn't have to be – it might also be one of the many kinds of vinegars, or it could even be provided by wine or cider. But the important takeaway here is that knowing how and when to use the acidic part of the meal is hugely central to rounding off the whole taste.
Finally, we have heat. If you can manage the heat that goes into whatever you are cooking, you can produce better food in no time. A steak requires a different management of heat to a pork belly, and appreciating the difference is central to making your cooking much better.
Try out these ideas and you will find that you are producing better meals in no time at all.

Every year, several Flemish composers are invited to write new compositions. The Flanders Symphony Orchestra has a number of operating bases throughout Flanders, each season hosting a series of concerts: Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent. Chief conductor is Jan Latham-Koenig. David Angus is its honorary conductor.

Ola Cabs has announced the launch of Mini Ola cabs that will operate on similar tariffs as Autorickshaws in Bangalore. While the rates will be higher, Bangaloreans are hoping this will help overcome the menace they call a lot of auto drivers.
The mini Olas will charge a minimum of Rs 100 for 6 kilometres, followed by Rs 13 per kilometre after that. A waiting charge of Rs 2 per minute will be charged after every first minute spent stagnant, including traffic jams and signals.
Most auto drivers insist on Rs 20-30 extra on the metre and if that is added to the actual auto fare, it would work out almost as much as the mini cabs would be charging and in some cases, even more.
The exact date of the launch hasn't been disclosed yet, but it is expected that almost 250 mini cabs will be launched shortly, followed by a fleet of 1000 by the end of this year.

Tex Perkins, once upon a time lead singer of The Cruel Sea and Beasts of Bourbon, appears before his Tennessee Four band in a gentle swagger, grabs the chrome microphone, and announces: "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash". It's Cash's iconic gravelly drawl in a serviceable American accent; it's a playful gesture to a knowing audience.
The crowd gathered in Parramatta Gaol to see Tex Perkins perform at the Sydney Festival cheer as the band launches into Cash's iconic Folsom Prison Blues, first recorded in 1955 but made famous in the two legendary concerts at Folsom Prison in January 1968.
Cash had proposed the idea of a performance at Folsom to Columbia Records a decade earlier, but it had seemed outlandish to executives at the time. Who would take an interest in a country star (with little crossover appeal in the American rock mainstream) playing to a group of prison inmates and, moreover, singing about their tragic lives? Who would put out an album with tracks entitled Dark as a Dungeon and Cocaine Blues?
But by June of 1968, it had become all too clear that At Folsom Prison would be Cash's most significant album in more than a decade and one of the symbols of his enduring legacy. The sessions are now legendary in the annals of post-war American music, both as performance pieces and a double-album recording.
Tex Perkins and his band have attracted some interest for their performances of Cash's music over the last few years, including one very successful outing at Port Philip Prison in Melbourne.
I attended the first of three Sydney Festival performances at Parramatta Gaol on January 16.
I was seated in the exercise yard of the gaol, ringed by what felt like a 20-foot wall strung with barbed wire that's now encased in clear plastic. The yard was expansive, stretching longer and wider than I would have imagined. The gaol was closed only three years ago, and the marks of recent incarceration are still evident on the walls and in the series of walkways that lead from the entrance to the exercise yard.
The raucous inmates audible on Cash's original Columbia recording are obviously missing from Parramatta's surrounding levels of cellblocks. Yet the strangely oppressive feel of the yard suitably captured something of what prison life must have been like here; it's a large space, but it's enclosed on all sides and surveilled from all corners.
With Perkin's superb baritone on Folsom Prison Blues, and the rousing Tennessee Four behind him, Cash and his momentous album of 1968 were miraculously brought to life. This is a song about prison life, set among the male-only population of California's medium-security Folsom Prison, one of the state's oldest penitentiaries. Perkins moved energetically through the opening, reaching the shocking verse:
Son, always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
On the 1968 recording, the inmates of Folsom cheer at the brazen description of criminal life. In Parramatta gaol, the crowd did its best to emulate that exuberance for Cash's unique brand of social, cultural and artistic deviance. In the opening track and elsewhere, Cash's music opens the lid on an American tragedy, told in a series of jocular tales about young men from the other side of the train tracks, rubbing against the grain of orthodox sociality.
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me …
This is the persona of Cash and his adopted inmate population. He gives full expression to prison's emblematic social life. On Cocaine Blues, Cash covers an iconic song about a misery-fuelled binge leading to the speaker's incarceration:
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down.
Reprised in the performance of Perkins and his band, the experiment was more than an empty imitation of a legendary event. Cocaine Blues captured the aggression and playfulness of Cash's original performance in Folsom: a rousing blues arrangement, with Perkins and the band thumping their instruments. The disturbing violence of the lyrics, as in Cash's performance, was offset by Perkin's playful simulation of Cash's bodily gestures (holding that guitar high!) and uncanny vocal similarity.
The crowd got in on some of the Cash standards filtered in among the darkness of the Folsom Prison material (Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line), but the strongest material of the evening issued directly from the Folsom Prison songs. Cash's lament for prison life is always part celebration: it concludes in a performance of a song written by a Folsom inmate, Glen Sherley. Sherley's Greystone Chapel closes the prison narrative with:
Inside the walls of prison my body may be
But the Lord has set my soul free.
Sherley's blend of country folk and gospel sentiment is strangely affecting, issuing directly from the pen of an inmate.
The staggering achievement of Cash's Folsom Prison experiment is its capture of a very particular time and place in the late 1960s. In the lyrics and coverage of a range of American musical styles (country/blues/folk), the penitentiary is infused with the history of invisible lives that suddenly spring to attention; it feels a little like a rebellion against the American establishment, a music and performance infused with a punk ethos long before punk reared its head in the American mainstream.
Through Perkins and the Tennessee Four, the Sydney Festival performances were equally experiments of a kind. Such events are unique performance genres, attaching music (both recorded and performed) to a historically significant time and place. This was not empty imitation, but an attempt to recuperate the mythos of Cash's two nights at Folsom Prison and its resonance in American popular culture.
As such, to my mind, the experiment was a magnificent success. Perhaps next we'll see the recreation of the Newport Folk Festival of 1965 and the moment of Dylan's "plugging in". Could one sell tickets to Woodstock as a historical and cultural simulation? Why not?
Far from Folsom played at the Sydney Festival until January 18. Details here.

Alan Walker Launches Collaboration With Mask Company Airinum to Raise Awareness on Climate Change

"I've always wanted to use my position and strong 'Walkers community' to make a difference, and when I met the team at Airinum I started to realize how big of an issue polluted air really is today. I felt that the time was about right to stand up for something important as the topic of climate change and the alarming consequences that it brings with it," says Walker, who has built his whole image around wearing a mask and continues:
"To me, it's always been a part of my identity to wear a mask and together with Airinum I can now use that to make a bigger impact. Together we bring out a great product and at the same time spread knowledge about problems associated with poor air quality using the strength of my walker community."

Winner of prestigious awards such as the American IDA Gold Design Award and Chinese Hurun Best of the Best Brand Award, the company has in a few years established themselves as the number one fashion-tech mask brand in the world.

"That the simple act of breathing is killing seven million people a year and harming billions more is what made us start this company in the first place. We find this unacceptable. Together with the whole Alan Walker team we now present a campaign dedicated to raise awareness about air pollution and climate change as a whole, while at the same time provide means for immediate protection. This is something we're all very proud of."

Hangklip Beach - May 2019
LOVE and LAUGHTER are the words best describing this special couple. Their love for each other is radiant, they are best friends, and they laugh all the time, together.
Morné & Alison were winners of the SA Wedding Directory Win your Wedding competition and Kobus Kruger Photography sponsored their engagement shoot and wedding photography.
We chose a little, out of the way beach at Hangklip, close to Pringle Bay, and it was a spectacular backdrop for this very special engagement shoot. For a couple that professed to be camera shy, Alison and Morné were soon so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, it was easy capturing these stunning images.
Alison and Morné will be getting married at Liefland wedding venue at Tesselaarsdal at the end of June and we can't wait to be part of their special day, and capture more happy memories for this amazing couple!

Lib Dems: Reverse cuts to Cumbria Police
Lib Dems across Cumbria are calling on the government to reverse cuts to Cumbria's Police Force. South Lakes MP Tim Farron has tabled a parliamentary motion urging the Government to rethink its decision to slash Cumbria Police officers and staff by 4% last year.
Figures released last week show that 69 police officers and staff have been slashed from Cumbria Police's front line in the last year. The number of police officers has fallen by 26 over the last year, to 1102. The number of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) has fallen from 93 to 84, designated officers to 28, and Police support staff have been cut by almost 6%, falling by 33 to 543.
Changes to the police funding formula first proposed in 2015, which could have seen Cumbria Police lose around £15million, were scrapped when it came to light that there were errors in the government's data. However, the government plans to bring back these changes to the formula.
Tim said: "The government cannot continue to chip away at frontline police staff and not expect it to have an impact on our communities. The government should reverse the damaging cuts that have already taken place, rather than looking to cut even more through changes to the funding formula.
"Our region's unique geographical situation is being overlooked by politicians in Whitehall, whose cuts have left ever fewer police officers covering a vast rural area. I want to make Ministers aware of the concerns I hear every day from constituents about keeping our communities safe. These cuts don't just put our communities at risk, they are bad for morale in the police force."
Rebecca Hanson, the Lib Dem parliamentary candidate for Copeland, added:
"Local residents need to feel safe, and to have confidence in the police's ability to tackle crime in Cumbria. The bottom line is that our police force simply cannot withstand more and more cuts, year on year. It is the safety of towns and villages across our county that is put at risk. I will campaign alongside Liberal Democrats across the county to oppose government plans to cut ever more funding from our police force."

I often call myself a "euphonium player" because is a good way to tell people a lot about me (assuming they know what the word means!). But I'm also a musician. In my heart and mind, I know that being a musician is the more important piece. As I posted in the blog years ago, it's not the instrument that makes the music. It is just a special amplifier for our musicianship.
Most of us work daily on technical aspects of playing. We have to! If you can't comprehend anything shorter than a quarter note, then your realm is very limited, so you work to make more and more music available to you. I often tell students to be sure to put music into even simple scales - they should sound like musical lines (they ARE lines, after all).
I've know players who have their head too exclusively into expression and some who have the head too exclusively into technique. Both are necessary, of course. We all face a very natural trap hiding inside complex technical phrases. When we have to work so hard to get notes out, music often gets slighted or even disappears.
Russian trumpet/flugelhorn player Sergei Nakariakov manages to balance both nicely. There are times why my jaw drops over his technical prowess, but he is still making music, not just notes. Here is a link to a live video of Sergei playing a cello concerto on flugelhorn. This link drops you into the 3rd movement, just before his entrance. Listen for a few minutes and see if your jaw drops, too! But then go back to the beginning and listen to the whole piece. Lovely...and astounding:

Scott wakes with the taste of blood in his mouth and sweat and dirt on his lips. Above him the sky is clear and the moon is bright. There's no sound but that of his own harsh breathing and the distant pop of gunfire. The bodies of the other men littering this battlefield are silent.
When he was little, he used to think sleeping under the stars would be a marvelous thing but now his whole body aches and the rocks digging into his back are a painful counterpoint to the white hot poker burrowing into his side. He wishes desperately that he could roll over but the weight of another fallen soldier across his legs keeps him from doing so, trapping him like an insect in amber.
He longs for his home a thousand miles away. For his grandfather. Julie. Chums from school. Reading by the fire. Mrs. Abbot's Sunday pot roast. His bed. Clean clothes.
Those are the things that keep him going during the endless days of fierce and bloody fighting. Those are things that keep him from giving in to the pain of the bullet lodged in his side. Those are things that keep him from giving up. He vows then and there, under a canopy of stars and with the metallic taste of blood pooling in his mouth, to live. His sense of duty and honor demand it.
He will see those people again.
It is then that he hears approaching footsteps and words spoken in a soft drawl like warm molasses. "We got us another Yank survivor here, Sergeant."
As hands shift the dead weight on his legs and lift him none too gently, despair closes in around him like a shroud.
Yes, he will see those people again…..but not any time soon.

After a year on the East Coast, Porter is returning to Denver to pick up his musical explorations and record two already-written albums. Word is he'll be working with members of the Vitamins, the Manxx, Little Fyodor and Apples In Stereo, among others, on the projects.
The records are tentatively titled Frozen Fish LP and As Sure as Sparks Fly Upward, which should be reassure everyone that Porter hasn't lost his odd edge. He's also planning a large, freeform "Soopergroup" (sic) called Patrick Porter and Ten Mil Horses, presumably to play live gigs around town. No word on his exact date of arrival home yet, but something tells us we'll know when he gets here, as things will instantly become a little weirder...

Emotionally, you're more available to bond with your child and tune into its presence and energy. Being more tuned in will help you to communicate with your baby, prepare you both for birth and the life your baby will arrive into. Your baby's father can also join in.

Former Mail & Guardian editor Angela Quintal is safe and is back at her hotel after being detained by Tanzanian authorities on Wednesday night, the Department of International Relations has confirmed.
Speaking to News24 on Thursday morning, spokesperson Ndivhuwo Mabaya said that while there is still much uncertainty about her detention, she and her colleague, Muthoki Mumo were returned to their Dar es Salaam hotel at around 03:00 on Thursday.
Quintal is Africa programme co-ordinator at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), and Muthoki Mumo is CPJ's sub-Saharan Africa representative.
They were detained by Tanzanian authorities on Wednesday night for reasons that remain unclear.
While they are no longer in custody, Mabaya said Tanzanian authorities have their passports.
This means that they could still be under detention, but this has not been confirmed.
On Thursday morning, the South African high commissioner will meet with the Tanzanian authorities to assess the situation. For now, Quintal and Mumo are well and will stay at their hotel, Mabaya said.
"She is safe, she is fine... she is quite concerned about what happened last night. But you know Angela - she is fine, and full of jokes," said Mabaya.
It is also unclear whether Tanzanian authorities have Quintal's cellphone, after a number of her social media profiles were deactivated on Wednesday evening.
Mabaya said she was unable to locate it and her Twitter and Facebook profiles remain deactivated.
