The Grand Order of the Lost Mathom
The Grand Order of the Lost Mathom (more often known simply as The Grand Order or The Order), are a primarily scholarly society dedicated to the preservation, collection and further understanding of mathoms. Their members are also concerned with keeping alive the traditions of storytelling, poetry and song through study, research, performances and lectures.
The Order enjoys two dedicated groups of musicians (Songburrow Strollers and Brandy Badgers), historical society and acting troupe. To all intents and purposes their collective home is Songburrow Hall, a large and rambling burrow at the heart of Songburrow, a small village in the Southfarthing of the Shire.
We are brought together by our deep love of the Shire, its fields and pastures, and the protection of its borders and all we hold dear. Mathoms as you will learn have a special place in our heart."
Rowana Fairborn - Founder
The Order possesses arguably the finest and most comprehensive collection of mathoms outside of Society hands and a library of scholarly works, family and genealogical records second only to that of the Great Smials in Tuckborough, ancestral home of the Took family.
The collection itself is impeccably curated and items are often exhibited or lent out to interested parties, though the majority remains on non-permanent display at Songburrow Hall.
Early beginings
The Order was officially founded in SR 1413 by Rowana Fairborn with the support of Thain Paladin Took II. Even before this time it had existed in all but name through an informal group of friends, meeting once a week at the Goldern Perch in Stock to share stories and songs around the fireside.
The name of The Order is thought to originate from a single leaf of parchment documenting the journey of the Fallowhide brothers Marco and Blanco as they crossed over the mountains. In this brief account (of which the sole copy resides in Songburrow Hall) mention is made of an object of great significance - the so called 'Lost Mathom'. The exact nature and whereabouts of this mathom is the matter of continued debate.
Rising tensions
Almost from the outset The Order has attracted the unwarranted attention of The Mathom Society and in particular Keeper Brombard Foxtail who has on numerous occasions expressed concern over 'the acquisition of a substantial number of mathoms' held in private hands. Relations can best be described as 'frosty' with any ill feeling kept to scholarly one-upmanship and heated debate rather than outright hostility.
Ongoing work
Outside of scholarly circles The Order is well known for its ongoing charitable program to learn hobbits their letters. This sponsorship extends beyond mere donations with members of The Order taking an active role in teaching and keeping the traditions and stories of the Shire alive and well through tales and song.
Throughout the year the Historical Society produces a series of field-trips with an educational and informative bias. These are practical excursions to famous landmarks or forgotten corners of the Shire and are immensely popular both with young and old alike.
The nominal head and founder of The Grand Order is Rowana Fairborn (herself a noted scholar and historian) with the practical day to day activities being shared among the four assistant chiefs each of whom adds their own unique blend of experience and knowledge to the role. The position of assistant chief, although carrying no formal title is a notable one, with vacancies only coming up rarely as the office is traditionally held for life.
Membership to The Order is either by recommendation or more formally by a letter of invitation to the Secretary at Songburrow Hall, 4 Brookbank Street, Songburrow, The Shire.
In practice potential members come from all walks of life but the successful ones stand apart because of their inquisitiveness, sociability and aptitude.
Members enjoy a wide range of benefits, not least of which is access to the extensive library (not to mention the larders, pantries and cellars), and mathom collection of Songburrow Hall. Members are actively encouraged to seek out and identity items of interest to add to the collection.
On the surface The Order is often perceived as being somewhat secretive and self-centered.
It is common knowledge that many of their members are extremely well informed, not just on important matters but on the smaller apparently insignificant details of everyday life.
In recent years with the coming of a darker shadow to the once quiet woods of Overhill and the outlying districts of the Marish this has led to the popular belief that a Mathom Watch exists - silently listening and observing and ready to act should the need arise.
Whatever the truth you need only to dig a little deeper and it is all too apparent that The Order exerts a gentle but persuasive influence on affairs throughout the Four Farthings of the Shire... and beyond.

Kenney Drapery Associates is a leader in the installation of Motorized & Manual Solar and Blackout Shade systems for both commercial and high end residential applications.
168 Large Motorized Shades installed on curved windows at Miami Intl. Airport
With their ability to control heat and light, window shades are an essential design element in many of today's "green" buildings and homes. Kenney Drapery can install motorized or manual shade systems using a wide variety of materials and techniques to create the shade solution that corresponds with both the beauty and the functional practicality of your design requirements.
Kenney Drapery has vast experience in shade installations large and small and in many different configurations. Motorized and manual shades serve a wide range of functions. Let us help you see how they can fulfill the needs of your project
Solar Control
One of the primary uses for shades is to control the amount of heat and light entering through your windows, while still retaining the view outside. The addition of solar shades can substantially reduce the energy costs of any building they are installed in.
Because of the variable nature of shade systems, the advantages over tinting are significant. You can change the amount of solar reduction as needed, giving maximum availability of your outside views.
Blackout & Room Darkening
Another common use for shades is to block the outside view entirely when desired. Audio-visual rooms, classrooms, home theaters and corporate conference rooms often use blackout shades to make the viewing of video images as clear as possible and also to achieve an extra level of privacy when required. These can be installed with or without side and bottom channels for either a total outside blackout, or just to keep out most of the light (often used in residential and educational settings).
Skylight Shades
Skylights often require a unique and complex installation. Museums, Public spaces, corporate offices and high end residences all often have skylights incorporated into their structures. Kenney Drapery has installed shades on skylights for decades. Solar control, blackout or a combination of the two can be achieved for any skylight.
Privacy Shades
There often circumstances which require an area's interior privacy to be enhanced on demand. For this application, motorized shades are the perfect solution. Corporate conference rooms, government and military offices and even certain residential situations can all benifit from the added security that interior shades can provide.
Motorized shades can be connected a variety of control systems. The energy cost savings can be substantial when shades are incorporated into a building's energy management computer systems. Shades can be programmed to raise or lower depending on such factors as ambient light, time of day, interior temperature changes and, in the case of exterior installations, even wind speed. Motorized window shades can also be activated by any audio visual control system, to work in conjunction with motorized screens and projector lifts to create the perfect solution for conference rooms, classrooms and home theaters.

Restricted Applications for Social Security Benefits
In some cases to get the most out of your Social Security benefits, you will need to use something called a restricted application. New Social Security rules signed into law on Nov. 2, 2015, have changed the right to file a restricted application for those born on or after January 2, 1954. I cover all the rules below.
As there are different types of Social Security benefits you may be eligible for, a restricted application, sometimes referred to as "restricting the scope" of your application, tells the Social Security office that you are not simultaneously applying for all benefits you are eligible for.
Instead, you are restricting the scope of your application to only one benefit type. In many cases, this allows you to later apply for a different benefit type. To understand why you might use this funky rule take a look at some of the types of Social Security benefits you may be eligible for:
- A benefit based on your own earnings record referred to as a Retirement Insurance Benefit (RIB)
- A benefit based on a spouse or ex-spouse's earnings record referred to as a spouse's insurance benefit (SIB)
- A benefit based on a deceased spouse's or deceased ex-spouse's earnings record referred to as a Widow/Widower's Insurance Benefit (WIB)
- A benefit if you are disabled referred to as disability insurance benefits (DIB)
How might you use these rules to boost your benefits?
If you were born on or before January 1, 1954, are currently married, or are divorced and eligible for a benefit on an ex-spouse's record, once you reach full retirement age (assuming you have NOT yet claimed your benefits) you can use a restricted application to claim a spousal benefit, while letting your own benefit continues to grow. You could then switch to your own higher benefit amount when you reach age 70.
If you were born on or after January 2, 1954, a restricted application may not be used for the purpose of claiming a spousal or ex-spousal benefit - however, widows and widowers may continue to use a restricted application at any claiming age. In Social Security's online Programs Operations Manual System (POMS), their Scope of the Application section says:
"A claimant may choose to limit or restrict the scope of the application to exclude a class of benefits he/she may be eligible to on one or more SSNs for any reason (except where deemed filing applies). The reason may be to receive higher current benefits or to maximize the amount of benefits over a period of time, including the effect of delayed retirement credits (DRCs)."
Here are a few key points to note about the restricted application rules:
- A spouse must be full retirement age and born on or before 1/1/1954 to file a restricted application for a spousal benefit only - and must not have already begun their own benefits.
- A widow/widower, or survivor of a deceased ex-spouse, may file a restricted application even if they have not yet reached full retirement age and regardless of when they were born.
- A claimant who is caring for a child (under age 16 or disabled adult child) who is entitled to child's benefits may have the option to restrict the application to spouse's benefits only even if they have not yet reached their full retirement age.
Restricted Applications and Spousal Benefits
Regarding item number one above POMS says (GN 00204.020D.1):
"In fact, a spouse claimant at or past Full Retirement Age (FRA) has the right to restrict the application to exclude RIB. However, always take a RIB application in a reduced benefit situation when the spouse is insured for RIB as the "deemed filing" provision applies."
For anyone filing before full retirement age, the rule above remains as it is. A "reduced benefit situation" means you are filing before you reach full retirement age. When you file before you reach full retirement age, if your spouse has already filed for their benefits (in the cases of an ex-spouse they have to have reached age 62, but do not have to have filed yet), you are deemed to be filing for spousal benefits at the same time you file for your own retirement benefits. Filing before full retirement age prevents you from using claiming strategies that might otherwise allow you to later switch between benefits.
For those born on or after 1/2/1954, when you file for benefits you will now also be deemed to be filing for all benefits you are eligible for. You will not be able to restrict the scope of your application to only one benefit type unless you are a widow or widower. Those born on or before 1/1/1954, however, can still file a restricted application.
If your spouse has not already filed for benefits, you will not be deemed to be applying for a spousal benefit. Later when they subsequently file for their own benefits the deemed filing rules will kick in, and if your spousal benefit turns out to be more than your own benefit each month the additional amount will automatically be paid to you.
Restricted Applications and Widow/Widower Benefits
Regarding item number two above, POMS says (section GN 00204.020E.4.a):
"A widow(er) or surviving divorced spouse may wish to exclude a reduced RIB from the scope of the application and defer filing for an unreduced RIB because of the increasingly greater amount payable after FRA because of DRCs," and that in order to do so the Social Security office needs to take get a statement such as "I do not wish this application to be considered an application for reduced benefits on my own record."
This means if your spouse or ex-spouse is deceased, and you are eligible for a widow/widower's benefit on their earnings record, you have greater leeway to restrict the scope of your application, even if you have not yet reached full retirement age and regardless of your date of birth.
You might do this to claim a widow benefit for several years while allowing your own benefit to continue to accumulate delayed retirement credits. At age 70 you could then switch over to claiming your own, now larger, benefit amount.
Restricted Applications When Caring for a Child
Regarding item three above POMS says (GN 00204.020F.2.a):
"A claimant who is between the age of 62 and FRA, has in his/her care a child (under age 16 or a disabled adult child) of the NH (number holder) who is entitled to child's benefits, and is filing for spouse's benefits is not deemed to have filed for reduced RIB. He/she may exclude RIB from the scope of the application for spouse's benefits by a clear declination."
I believe in the future this provision above will only be applicable to those who are born on or before 1/1/1954. In addition to item three above there are also special provisions when you are eligible for a disability insurance benefit that may allow you to file for spousal benefits, while not yet applying for your own retirement benefits.
It is beyond the scope of this article to go into details about such disability or child benefit strategies, and this author has not yet fully evaluated the implication of the new rules for situations that involve child's benefits or disability benefits.
Because the rules are complex, some couples seek the advice of an attorney to advise them on their best claiming options. One reader emailed me because Social Security told them they did not need to use a restricted application. I got a thorough answer from a Social Security law attorney.
If you are married, or a widow/widower, a Social Security calculator (online software) can often provide you the type of analysis you need to find the best Social Security approach for your situation.
If you have dependents, multiple ex-spouses may be eligible for disability benefits, or have other complexities, the services of an attorney may be appropriate.

Are you into fly fishing, baitcasting, lure fishing or deep sea fishing?
Whichever your chosen path, you are going to need a reel.
And a solid reliable one at that...
Technology in general changes at a massive pace. Fishing technology is no different. Looking back my first few reels were very basic. No multiple sets of ball bearings, no advanced drag system and a bait runner setup were never heard of - unless you hooked a huge fish and it whipped your rod and reel into the water and you had to go running after it...
Can you still fish effectively with old technology - absolutely - but why not give yourself the best fighting chance by utilising some more modern tech to give you a helping hand. You still have to understand the fundamentals of fishing and have a solid technique to hook and land you catch but why make it hard on yourself.
Best Fishing Reels
The aim of this review is to provide you with a guide to the best in class in each of the fishing methods to save you time trawling through hundreds or even thousands of reviews. We fish all the time. We fish every different method and we love our gear. Take the guesswork out of your next choice of fishing reel with this review. You will be glad of the time saved because you will be out fishing instead of researching - we did it for you...
This review is broken down into reel type and a top three in each of the categories with a budget, mid-range and high-end best in class fishing reel. Let us do the research you get out there and catch some fish.
If you are just here to find the best fishing reel and haven't the time to read our in-depth reviews then we have highlighted our top choice reel in each category below. If you click on the reel name you will jump to that review or just hit the check price button and you will go straight to the best deal we could find at the time of writing this review.
Best Spinning Reels
Best BAITCASTING Reels
Shimano Spinning Reel - Best Budget Spinning Reel
Put simply the Shimano spin clam reel is the best budget spinning reel money can buy.
The reel can handle braid line as well and the model we looked at IX-2000 is perfect for normal fishing.
Strong enough to handle decent sized fish but light enough to not tear your arm out.
The gearing system is smooth as it the overall reel action.
The handle is reversible so you can fish either right or left-handed no problem.
This is a great beginner spinning reel but would let you down as a seasoned angler.
While not the best spinning reel out there it certainly stands up to the best of them - especially at this price. Would I buy one? Have one in my tackle bag. Would I recommend one? For sure. Even if it's not your everyday or go-to reel you should definitely stock up with one as this is the best value spinning reel out there.
A great added feature of this reel is the quick cast system. Simply press the button on the side of the bail arm and it auto-magically opens the bailer ready for your next cast. This is especially handy if you are lure fishing or spinning and are constantly casting and retrieving at a rapid pace.
- A quick twist of the handle and the bailer snaps shut. If you are into kayak fishing this is a great feature as you can do a lot of your fishing with one hand...
- Price - Unbeatable reel for this price
- Action - Very smooth reel
- Quality. Shimano makes great reels
- Nothing to report
Kastking Sharky II - Best Mid Range Spinning Reel
Next, we take a look at the awesome Kastking Sharky II spinning reel. A bit more expensive than the Shimano but it comes with a host of great features and represents super value for money.
So why does this reel feature on this review? Let's break down some of the main features first to give you an idea of why.
Reel come complete with a massive 10 +1 shielded stainless steel bearings giving it a super smooth action
It has a triple carbon fibre drag system which will probably outlast us all.
The high capacity machined aluminium spool is ultra light but very strong.
The Sharky is a great all rounder reel. Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater if you are looking for value then this is the reel for you. Strong enough to haul in very large fish but light enough to fish with all day.
What size reel should you go for?
- The Sharky II 1500 will hold up to 165Yds of 6lb, 110Yds of 8lb line and 75Yds of 10lb line.
- The Sharky II 2000 will hold up to 155Yds of 10lb, 140Yds of 12lb line and 75Yds of 14lb line.
- The Sharky II 3000 will hold up to 160Yds of 12lb, 140Yds of 14lb line and 80Yds of 16lb line.
- The Sharky II 4000 will hold up to 185Yds of 14lb, 165Yds of 16lb line and 125Yds of 20lb line.
- The Sharky II 5000 will hold up to 210Yds of 16lb, 185Yds of 18lb line and 165Yds of 20lb line.
- The Sharky II 6000 will hold up to 215Yds of 22lb, 180Yds of 25lb line and 160Yds of 30lb line.
- Price - Superb value for money
- Action - Very smooth reel
- Options - Range cover every type of fishing
- Reports of bail arm snapping shut unexpectedly at times causing lost tackle during casts.
Penn Battle II - Editors Choice Best Spinning Reel
When it comes to our choice for the best spinning reel we have to pick the Penn Battle II.
This super smooth reel has a great drag system and is a very solid unit.
From it's fast retrieval to it's smooth action it is very hard to beat.
Spool this up with some braided fishing line and pair it with an Ugly Stik and you have a rod and reel combo that is going to be very hard to beat.
The reel sports an instant anti-reverse system and doesn't suffer from any back creep whatsoever.
The Penn Battle is a bit heavier than most in it's class but all is forgiven because of the quality of this reel. Yep, it costs a small bit more than the rest of the reels mentioned above but in my eye's it's worth every dollar. If you are serious about your gear then you should get yourself a Battle II before you head out again...
- Quality - As good as any high-end reel
- Action - Very smooth reel
- Instant anti-reverse system
- Superior drag system
- Some chatter about the weight of this reel but hey it's a Penn. Well built and made to last.
Piscifun Tuned Low Profile Baitcaster
The Piscifun Baitcaster Reel gives you a great low profile design.
Made from CNC machined high-grade aluminium this reel is very light but also very strong.
Featuring a 6.3:1 gear ratio system that gives you a very smooth and exceptional baitcasting action.
As a brand that was relatively unknown to us, this really is a great baitcasting reel for the money.
If you are looking for a cheap but durable baitcasting reel then the Piscifun baitcaster is perfect for you. Utilising 1 roller bearing and a whopping 13 stainless steel ball bearings this reel delivers a long smooth action cast every single time.
The magnetic brake system allows you to fine tune your cast based on your lure weight. Set it up when you first tie on and fish away all day without having to tinker with anything - This is a great feature in my eyes because anything that allows me to fish for longer wins...
It has a sleek and cool looking low profile design and comes with a low noise gear structure so you ain't going to be spooking the fish while you grind away...
- Quality - As good as any high-end reel
- Action - Very smooth reel
- Superb Magnetic Brake System
- Strong & Durable
- As good as any high-end reel
- Nada, nothing
Kastking Stealth Baitcasting Reel - All Carbon Design
The Kastking Stealth weights only 6 ounces so if you are looking for something ultra light - look no further.
A great reel for all types of fishing - frogging, flipping, pitching, punching, Alabama rigs.
Pair the reel up with some 8lb braid and away you go.
If you are looking for distance casting the first thing you will notice about the Kastking is exactly that. The line literally flies off the spool.
One thing to watch out for with this reel is the speed at which the spool spins when casting. It can be prone to backlashes if not adjusted properly. Once you get the setup right though you are in for a treat. How they can make a reel of this quality for the price is beyond me.
The stealth has a 16.5 lbs drag system coupled with 4 carbon disks and hardened aluminium washers that give this reel unbelievable drag power.
The action is smooth as silk with the 11 ball bearing system. The one way clutch system delivers lightning fast hook sets every time and helps deliver the smooth reel performance.
The reel itself is 100% corrosion resistant and because its made of carbon fibre it only weighs 6 ounces.
- Weight - 6 ounces
- Action - super smooth and fast
- Anti-corrosion carbon fibre makeup
- Not really an issue but make sure you setup drag properly before you go whipping lures into the water.
Abu Garcia Revo SX- Editor's choice Baitcaster
Now here is a baitcasting reel you can rely on. Easy to use, great build quality and superb action.
The Revo SX has to be the best reel on the market in this price bracket. Hands down the best you could fish with actually.
It is very easy to use and can be tuned in a matter of seconds to suits you lure or fishing style.
Comes with a hefty 20 lbs of drag so make sure it's dialled in or you will break off your line before this gives in.
Wonderful smooth action and overall our top choice baitcasting reel to date.
The new Infini II spool design improves casting performance over previous models and the Carbon Matrix ensures smooth, consistent drag pressure when hooked into the hardest fighting fish. By adjusting the MagTrax braking system you can ensure consistent drag pressure from start to finish.
As mentioned in previous posts we prefer to fish with braided line and by setting this reel up with some high quality braid you are equipping yourself with a reel combo that is hard matched by much more expensive models.
- Made using the highest quality components
- Professional grade fishing equipment
- Tested for durability and quality
- 9 High-Performance Corrosion Resistant bearings plus 1 roller bearing provides increased corrosion protection
- C6 carbon body provides significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength and durability
- D2 Gear Design provides a more efficient gear system while improving gear durability
- Compact bent handle and star provide a more ergonomic design
- Ti coated line guide reduces friction and improves durability
Designed for ease of use and comfort this low profile baitcasting reel is one for your tackle bag. We had no intention of reviewing very high-end expensive reels as part of this review because this reel has you covered - without the hefty price tag.
- Price - Nothing can touch this reel.
- Action - Comfortable, sturdy and smooth
- Quality - Perfect high end reel from Abu
- Nope
So that's our review of the best fishing reels so far. We will be adding in Fly reels and some other models over the coming weeks so stay tuned for more.
Tight lines folks.

This winter will bring new rules for using fireplaces in the San Joaquin Valley from Stockton to Bakersfield. Some areas will see the number of "no burn" days double.
The San Joaquin Valley has until 2019 to meet federal standards for improving air quality in the winter.
New rules will go into effect in November through the end of February to reduce pollution caused by wood burning.
Jaime Holt with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District says 95 percent of the pollution caused by smoke comes from wood burning fireplaces.
"Someone has an open hearth fireplace they'll actually see fewer days that they will be able to burn. They'll actually see the number double, might go from 25 to 50 days they will not be able to burn."
Holt says this year people with EPA approved stoves, inserts, or gas fireplaces will be able to burn every day.
She says special grants from $1,500 to $3,000 are available through the district to purchase stoves or convert fireplaces to gas.
People who have no access to natural gas are exempt from the no-burn days.

Tales from experience: why try informal
The tale of more
We, as a team, believe that being a student means more than just attending the classes you are supposed to attend and being a professional means more than participating at the conferences and workshops your school or industry pressures you to be part of.
Because this is how we started The City of Green Buildings Organisation. By wanting to learn more, discover more, get involved more, wanting to create an organisation and gather interested people around the concept of building a greener future for us and our families.
The tale of encouragement
We know for sure there are students and young professionals living with the same desires as we do, maybe even you are one of them, and we are glad because the next generations will surely thank, if not all of us, at least some of us, who thought about their well-being.
Which is?
To develop, promote and protect the best and the highest standards regarding innovation and sustainability in buildings and regarding the way they are integrated in the urban space by developing a strong community of professionals and a social movement.
You are the next professional and we will be more than happy to meet and build together towards a greener and energy efficient way of life. The first step through which we try to do this and accomplish our aim is education. Encouraging you, the young generation, who is actively involved and passionate together and continue to enrich your educational horizon with an informal way of learning.
Therefore we encourage you to attend and enjoy The City of Green Buildings Academy 2017, with its "How to turn your building project into a brand?" theme.
The tale of fun
Informal education, from our point of view, means also fun and a different way of learning. That is why we integrated during this year`s and last years` Academies a lot of leisure activities.
Moreover, for the music festival lovers, our Academy is taking place just between Electric Castle and Untold, internationally known for their line-ups.

Intel drops Pentium brand nameBy Derek Sooman 29 comments
Say goodbye to the Pentium! Intel has taken the decision to drop the Pentium brand name, ridding itself one of its oldest and most valuable brands. Originally unveiled in 1993, the Pentium will now begin to quietly disappear in the current CPU generation.
Sources indicated that Intel will drop the Pentium name without making a major announcement, but simply transition to processor names such as "Intel D 920" or "Intel 672" without introducing a new brand. Apparently, the transition is planned to begin in the immediate future. The company declined to comment on the possibly fading Pentium brand.
This is, of course, potentially a little risky, but the move does find favour with Kevin Krewell, principal analyst with In-Stat/MDR and editor in chief of the Microprocessor Report. He claims that Intel should have dropped the name when the Pentium II came along.
"In my opinion, Intel should have introduced a new name after launching Pentium II. It was getting quite confusing already back then," he said.

The past 6-7 weeks I have been taking training / classes for a virtual assistant position I had applied for. As I have posted about many times, I have been in a financial dessert for a long time now. I was really excited about this opportunity. I felt like new doors were opening for me. I thought this would be a great way to have a guaranteed part-time income to help make ends meet. My other business is pretty much hanging on by a well-worn thread. The blog is starting to take off but there is still has a long way to go before I make any noteworthy income from it.
I got up early 5 days a week for 6 weeks. I complained regularly about my lack of sleep. (I am not a morning person by any means.) I studied hard. I took surprise after surprise of additional exams and schedule changes and information that changed constantly with this class. I passed all 3 written exams (which we were told we wouldn't have to take only to find out the day after Thanksgiving you have 5 days to take & pass these 3 exams). I worked really hard to be able to get this position.
We were supposed to find out by 6pm last Friday whether we got the position or not. (We as in myself and the other classmates who had made it & passed everything.) Due to technical issues, Friday evening they told us it would be Monday before results were sent out. Then on Monday, more technical issues. Then yesterday (Tues) still waiting but hopefully would have results by the end of the day. Finally yesterday evening I got the email that yes I was certified and I had the position.
After all of that hard work, time, energy and stress I should have been really excited about reaching this goal and getting the position. However I really didn't feel all that excited. I know it sounds crazy doesn't it?
I found out that out of 25+ in the class only about 8-9 actually made it. I feel bad for the new friends that I made during the last 6 weeks. Some of them really needed this job and would have been great at it. I guess I should feel good that I was chosen out of those qualified people.
I think the main reason I didn't feel excited is because this is a job. Yes a J-O-B. A word I have avoided, loathed and hated for over 5 years now. Being self-employed and being my own boss has been the bee's knees. I won't lie, I am the best boss I have ever had. I got to live the dream for a few years: having no one to answer to but yourself, setting your own schedule, taking the day off when you feel like it… It's been very, very difficult to have that dream die or to feel like I'm being called / moved in a new direction.
Granted with this position (see I can't even call it a job) the hours are somewhat flexible (I can choose my own hours each week 1-2 weeks in advance) and it is only part-time. I'm not an employee, I'm sub-contracting. I still work from the comfort of my own home in my pj's if I want to. I don't have to deal with corporate politics or office drama, traffic or spending money on business clothes.
With so many people unemployed and desperately seeking jobs and an income, I know I should be very grateful to have this opportunity. I am, really I am. I guess I'm just scared of the same ol', same ol' things: not being good enough, not doing a good enough job and being let go (aka fired).
When you get a new job or position your first thought shouldn't be "oh dear what if I don't do a good enough job and I get fired?" I worry too much, I over-analyze things and just pick them apart like a buzzard on roadkill. I change my mind and am so indecisive sometimes. I mean goodness it takes me 20 minutes to decide what outfit to wear some days. I am well-known for putting items in my shopping cart to purchase them, only to get to the register and have second thoughts and be sticking them on the shelves near the register or telling the cashier I changed my mind.
I think I know what I want then I get it and I don't think I want it anymore… Why is it so hard for me to be bold, confident and decisive? Why is it so hard for me to trust that what God is offering or providing me with is what is really best for me? Why is it so hard for me to trust that God is going to provide what I need to get through whatever circumstance or situation I am going through? You wouldn't think someone who is as stubborn as I am would be so indecisive.
I can't help but think about Moses when it comes to worry, doubt and indecisiveness. I think Moses and I would have got along great back in the day. We could had formed a club for Worry Warts Anonymous and thrown some killer worry wart parties.
Moses had a heart and desire to follow God and wanted to be used by God. He was given that chance when God appeared in a burning bush (I sure would like to see signs as clearly as that sometimes!) and told Moses that He was calling him to go to Egypt and save his people. God told him it wouldn't be easy but that He would be there and provide everything he needed to be successful along the way.
Moses should have been excited, honored and thrilled about that amazing opportunity. I'm sure somewhere deep down inside he was excited, but his fears, worries and over-analyzing brain started to get the best of him. He questioned himself and his abilities and then worst of all he questioned God! He said "but why me God, I stutter, I'm not smart enough, I don't think you should have picked little ol' me for this task. I'm sure there's someone better out there. I just don't think I can do this, I mean really, God, really do you know what you are asking me to do here?" (My own paraphrasing.)
Moses all but cemented his sandals in the ground to keep from going. The Bible says that God even got angry at Moses' doubt and refusal to go. (You definitely don't want to anger God, gee Moses, what were you thinking?)
God didn't give up on Moses though, He continue to promise that he would provide for Moses. He even promised to send Aaron with Moses to help Moses feel more confident. God kept His promises. He worked in some very mysterious ways even bringing about plagues and supernatural occurrences to help Moses complete his mission and save the Israelites.
When God gives an order or provides us with an opportunity, He also makes it possible and equips us with what we need so we can accomplish the task or make it through the journey. We can make things easier on ourselves if we will just trust God and not over-think things. If we will just learn to trust the fact that God qualifies those whom He calls, rather than calling the qualified. In all honesty, none of us are qualified without God's mercy, grace and provision.
Even though Moses doubted, questioned and even argued with God, God didn't change His mind or take the opportunity away from Moses. I think God understands that we are worry warts by nature. He gives us challenges and opportunities to grow our faith and dependence on Him so the worry wart in our brain can begin to shrink.
I am sure Moses probably still had doubts along the way, but he kept moving forward and trusting that God would continue to provide. That is what I need to do with this position (and every situation in my life). I'll choose to be grateful for it and do my best for however long the opportunity is available to me. I'll pull my sandals out of the sand and walk forward in faith trusting that everything will work out how it is supposed to.
If you are struggling with doubts and fears about your future or something you feel God is calling you to do, I would like to invite you to join me and Moses at the next meeting of Worry Warts Anonymous. We can all get on our knees and pray together for more faith and less fear.
2 Timothy 1:7 – "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind."
ADDENDUM: I started the virtual assistant position and it did not turn out to be what I thought it was going to be. They kept changing policies and the work and hours promised were just never there. After about two months I turned in my notice. Maybe my fears were something telling me this wasn't the right choice. Perhaps there was a reason for me going through the training and working for this company for those two months. I think it made my resolve to be fully self-employed and a CEO of Me even stronger. Since then I have started my own web design business – CEO of Me Designs. Everything happens for a reason and we are pushed down paths that eventually lead us to where we are supposed to go…

I have the pleasure of working with a lot of small businesses owners and each one is different and unique and it's one of the reasons I love my job. I get to learn something new everyday and work with smart clients who are experts in their field. But time and time again smart business owners can fall victim to these 3 common marketing mistakes.
3 Things That Trip Up All Business Owners
- NOT knowing your target market. This is one that can really mess you up. It it critical to your business to know who your audience is. Whether you are a horse trainer, a hair dresser, an author or a chef, it is vital to the growth of your business to know who you are serving. Knowing your targeted market and appealing directly to them can ignite your business growth . Targeted marketing is understanding "attraction leads to reaction".
- NOT setting a clear and measurable marketing goal. It's wonderful and very beneficial to set marketing plans, but it's critical to think the plan through from start to finish. This means, not only do you test your marketing campaign messaging, but you analyze the results and set up measurable metrics that will let you know if it was a success or failure. Knowing what your Key Performance Indicators are is critical to your growth. A key performance indicator (KPI) is a business metric used to evaluate factors that are crucial to the success of an organization. KPIs differ per organization; business KPIs may be net revenue or a customer loyalty metric, or number of sales calls that came in or number of new subscribers you got this week, etc.
- NOT staying focused and taking small daily steps towards your marketing goals. Many small business owners suffer from paralysis from overwhelm. A simple way to avoid this and keep on track so you're moving forward with growth building efforts is to make your marketing tasks small actionable steps that you can easily implement, such as making sure your email signature has your contact info, your website and social media sites listed. Your sales people and receptionist are answering every phone call with a smile and are asking customers how they found out about your business and tracking that information so you see where you need to focus more time. Personally spend time with your customers, greet them, engage with them, and listen to them. Leave big marketing strategy and implementation to the professionals, your job is to spoil your current clients who will be life time advocates for your business.
Avoid these common mistakes and your business will benefit. Marketing doesn't have to be overwhelming or even costly but it does have to have a clear sense of purpose and consistency. Growth comes from constantly being in front of your ideal client and providing them with solutions to their problems. Customers want to be appreciated and treated kindly, if you have an average product or service but deliver the highest quality of customer service, your business will grow, if you do that plus have a great product or service that you are passionate about, then there is no limit to your success.

Within Travis, Williamson as well as Hays Areas, mediation becomes necessary before any hearing might be in a family legislations case. Within mediation, an experienced, neutral third-party behaves a facilitator for those settlement discussions between parties and also their individual attorneys. If a strong agreement can't be reached over the mediation system, the parties might wish to resolve most of the issues with the aid of litigation.

Attorneys – Reasons They Don't Do Marketing
Marketing calls for faith and additionally patience. Attorneys love to prod as well as poke the marketing time until they are prove for their great satisfaction there's no way it might work. The majority lawyers really are smart. Relating to embarking relating to unfamiliar organizations, like promoting, they battle to 'be stupid' and utilize the wisdom and connection with other specialists.

Law institution offered basically no courses regarding being business-owners. Any graduation business college knows in which marketing is surely an important as well as mandatory area of any internet business. This comes as being a shock for you to attorneys that often get pregnant of their selves as owned by any 19th one particular hundred year guild. Attorneys happen to be educated within an anti-marketing lifestyle. They found that they were within the 'profession' in which refit need females and gentlemen will not make unseemly projects to safe and sound business.
If lawyer do go around to trying a number of marketing, any bump driving will toss them off of. And one can find always bumps inside road. Attorneys get pumped up about a different marketing system, and heave themselves with it passionately. Then subsequently after 45 days and perhaps, life comes about. A giant case hits up. Among the many kids can get sick. A determine doesn't consist of. The promoting didn't provide instant money. The lawyer decides this individual made a major mistake and provides up.
Most lawyers are motivated by just a desire to be able to serve persons. Most sign up to a number of the Judeo Religious ethic which is certainly full associated with mixed messages concerning the pursuit with wealth. Nearly everyone is conflicted, if you're not filled by means of guilt, with regards to the profit to motive. Many secretly are convinced what these do is just not worth the actual fee these people charge, since quite simple involve periods of really hard, physical job.
Objectives Reasons of Criminal Law Enforcement
Criminal legislations, also generally known as penal law can be described as term familiar with refer towards different secret bodies throughout distinct jurisdictions. One prevalent characteristic of such rule bodies will be the propensity meant for distinct along with serious decision as punishments for the purpose of failing so that you can comply. A legal professional seeks to protect the falsely accused individuals to protect against such scenarios. There usually are various archetypal crimes along the lines of murder.

For the reason that civil refractions will be likely to bring about criminal outcome in a lot of instances, Oahu is the government who enforces lawbreaker law. This can be unlike municipal law that may be completed by secret parties.
Criminal law differs from the others for several reasons; the disaster to suffer the pain of its regulations plus the uniquely acute possible effects. Each offensive is consists of what is often imposed in several jurisdictions for many of the most severe criminal acts. Physical outcomes may be imposed. On the other hand, these results are forbidden for most parts of this universe. Determined by one's legislation, individuals may be in an array of conditions. Incarceration may be solitary. The confinement period may be as short in concert day and providing one's total life.

Retribution — Offenders needs to undergo some form of suffering. This can be an objective normally seen. Offenders are believed to but not just have created unfair detriment in others and to take unacceptable upper-hand. Keeping that in mind, an attorney by making use of criminal regulations is asked put your offenders inside an unpleasant issue hence putting weights on out scales. Individuals give up to law in an attempt to gain the correct not that they are killed. In case individuals flout typically the laws, they provide up any rights made available to them by laws. For that reason, individuals who seem to kill can be killed One relevant hypotheses offers the correcting the total amount idea.

Tuesday evening on Newsmax TV's "Prime," Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said his opponent Donald Trump's past use of profanity is an "underreported story" that will hurt him, especially in South Carolina.
Bush said, "I could be commander-in-chief because we're living in dangerous times. Someone needs to have the back of the military, someone needs to have the back of the veterans. I think I've offered the most tangible plans and have the broadest support among traditional conservatives that believe that we need to restore our military to its greatness to protect us and to keep it safe. So I feel great about where we are. And Donald Trump's profanity I think has been one of the underreported stories. Here in South Carolina, my experience is people find it repugnant that he would use foul language in crowds, you know where children exist. Those aren't South Carolina values."

Eve hated Ana because she had always blamed Ana for loosing her dream to become a great painter someday which resulted for her revenge to Ana and to make her stop painting. She also hated Kaito and his friends for stealing her little brother away from her so she challenged Kaito into a picture puzzle, which is harder than the usual jigsaw puzzle and where Ana's arms and carefree life are on the line!
Thankfully, for such a very serious episode where an artist would really totally relate to the things that's happening, there's this opening part which contains a lot of humor for all ages. Kaito, posing as Ana's subject, and seeing what Ana drew from his pose was totally hilarious. But looking at the painting in an artist's point of view, it was really beautiful (Although I'm not a great artist to say it but it was really beautiful and creative on my point).
I'm not really a fan of Eve but after knowing that Ana, a boy who dresses up like a girl, had a big sister, I really wanted to see her in the series. This episode granted my wish! Although, Eve is miserable, this made the whole thing serious.
I also wanted to emphasize about Ana's ability to see the picture even though it's separated into pieces and is scattered on the floor and how funny it was that Kaito hesitated on solving the puzzle because of Ana's feelings even though he knew about Ana's ability. lol
One message in this episode was the usual thing that happens in life. About a master, teaching his apprentice and then later the apprentice becomes someone better than the master which results to the master giving up from what he wanted to do. This thing between Ana and Eve is really nice and precious as I've seen. The relationship between Ana and his big sister is really, really interesting to watch.
I seriously cried when Ana cried to Kaito and saying that she knew that Eve will never paint again and that Eve lied to Ana for trying to paint again. Ana's line in this scene crushed my heart with ache. I also wanted to see Eve paint again like what she did when they were young but maybe because of too much depression since Ana gradually improved in painting made her not to do anymore. =(

RDBA Executive Director
In talking with dietitian colleagues within the retail industry, it's clear that salary management is a key concern for those transitioning into retail from clinical or getting hired by a small retailer in regional markets as well as those with extensive experience in the industry who are hitting salary ceilings. While it may feel uncomfortable at first, negotiating salary is a skill all retail RDs must master to ensure they're being compensated fairly within the retail sector.
The primary comparison for retail RD salaries has to be comparable roles within the industry not traditional dietitian roles. Your jobs are demanding, requiring a multitude of skills. Retail dietitians are the face of the retailer's health and wellness brand. You interact with the media. You build partnerships within the community and with vendors. You increase sales and customer loyalty. You should be compensated accordingly.
To ensure you're being compensated appropriately consider the following tips:
Title is another aspect of your negotiation that shouldn't be ignored. Not only is it important to how you're viewed within the company, but also how vendors and other business partners view your role. It also helps with salary negotiations when you pursue your next career move.

Advantages of Air Conditioning.
The joy of the places that we stay is influenced by the condition of the air that is in circulation. However because of constant climatic changes, the condition of our houses also changes which might sometimes become unbearable for our healthy living. For instance , our homes become hot on the hot seasons and becomes cold on cold seasons. This fluctuating conditions can be avoided by installing air conditioner that will ensure that your house remain conducive all the times of the season. In an event that you are facing such conditions then it is good idea to consider installing air conditioners in your home.
Air conditioning will have the following advantages to you.
Improve the quality of the air.
The quality of their in your house will be improved by ensuring free circulation of hot air during cold seasons and cold air during hot seasons. Better health practices are enhanced by the quality air within our homes. The happiness of your home will be aided by the quality of the air that is in circulation thus the higher the quality the more the joy of staying in the house. Given that most of our free time is spent in the house we should ensure that we maintain the quality of the air by using the air conditioner.
Prevents dehydration
Exposure to excess heat may result in dehydration as too high temperatures will lead to sweating that takes away more water from the body. This thus aids you in learning better ways that you can use in regulating the temperature of your house. Information on the regulation of temperature will help you in protecting your family against dehydration that has adverse effect on the body of an individual. When the reading of temperature shows high level of cold, the air condition should be controlled to an extent that it does not produce excess heat in the house that will leave everyone on the room sweating. Low attempts taken in amending the loss of water from the body might cause desiccation therefore the air conditioner will help you in modifying the amount of heat in the house and stops you from dehydration.
Prevents allergies
Controlling the air in your house will aid you in cleaning the air in the house that will decrease the amount of security that your family can get from dirty air in the house. In addition, this assists young as well as your family in limiting the risk of asthma attacks as well as allergies that are often caused by inhaling dirty air. This reveal that aid a person is in possession of air conditioner you are often in the way of looking at the safety of your family members.
How I Achieved Maximum Success with Professionals

You know, classes have a distinctly different feel to them of there are an odd number of students as opposed to an even number of students. I think this mostly boils down to the fact that if an odd number of students show up for class, the sensei has to pair up and work in with the class or else do some juggling of students. When an even number of students shows up, the sensei can stand to the side and look mysterious and inscrutable. Sensei gets much more exercise when an odd number of people show up.
But if you reduce this to minimal class sizes - like only one or two students showing up, some other interesting things show up...
- The koryu relationship - Back in the day, when much of this stuff was transmitted from one master to one student in private lessons, the sensei frequently played the role of uke (attacker). Makes sense... The sensei already knows the tori/nage part that the student really wants to learn, and the master can provide better ukemi. More precise, correct attacks by the master make for much better performance and learning from the student. This sort of thing was more common in the koryu (ancient) arts, and you still see this sort of arrangement in a lot of weapon arts - typically the attacker is the more experienced person in the relationship.
- The gendai relationship - But a different sort of relationship sprung up in what I might call the "classical period" of the gendai (new) budo (judo, aikido, karate-do) - that is, the first half of the 20th century. In this new relationship, the student was often expected to take ukemi for the master for an long time before he got to be the tori/nage. In this sort of class, the master would sling the student around and the student was expected to "steal the techniques." Students became adept at eidetic learning because they had to - there was no way the master was going to take falls while lecturing an inept student. The student might not even get to be uke until another, more junior student showed up.
- The western relationship - And then a third type of relationship emerged - perhaps we could call this the Western period, when the knowledge had been disseminated sufficiently that westerners (who were used to more egalitarian, democratic relationships) mastered the arts and got their own students. More often in this sort of relationship, the master and the student would be expected to alternate between the roles of tori and uke. I recall one of my instructors, who sort of started on the cusp of this third period, described getting abused by his instructor until he became skilled enough to put his foot down and demand more egalitarian treatment - as in the master takes as many falls as the student.

Champlain College will honor local resident Lance Llewellyn with a public unveiling of The Llewellyn Collection at Champlain College on Monday, Sept. 16 at 5:30 p.m. Housed in Roger H. Perry Hall at 251 South Willard St., the exhibit will be open to the public and the celebration will include several talks about the collection of historic Burlington and Vermont ephemera.
The Llewellyn Collection is a non-circulating special collection administered by the Champlain College Library. An ongoing exhibit of the collection's highlights is on display in Perry Hall.
Remarks by Provost and Chief Academic Officer Robin Abramson, Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration David Provost, Champlain College Professor David Lustgarten, Fletcher Free Librarian Robert Resnik, and University of Vermont Professor Thomas Visser will be followed by a reception and collection viewing.

Each year, millions of people who depend on the production, marketing and consumption of crops, livestock, fish, forests and other natural resources are confronted by disasters and crises. They can strike suddenly - like an earthquake or a violent coup d'état - or unfold slowly - like drought-flood cycles. They can occur as a single event, one can trigger another,or multiple events can converge and interact simultaneously with cascading and magnified effects. These emergencies threaten the production of, and access to, food at local, national and, at times, regional and global levels.
Threats and crises may be categorized as:
- natural disasters;
- emergencies in the food chain (e.g. transboundary plant, forest, animal, aquatic and zoonotic pests and diseases, food safety events, radiological and nuclear emergencies, dam failures, industrial pollution, oil spills, and the like);
- socio-economic crises (such as the 2008 global food price crisis and recent financial shocks);
- violent conflicts (civil unrest, regime change, interstate conflicts, civil wars, etc.);
- protracted crises i.e complex, prolonged emergencies combining two or more of the above.
The nature, frequency, intensity, combination and duration of disasters and crises influence the type and scale of impacts on different groups, and fragile ecosystems. The impacts of disaster and crises are also strongly shaped by factors such as gender, age, educational and knowledge levels, socio-economic status, culture, institutional capacity and other factors that govern risks and access to resources.
Countries in protracted crisis require special attention, given the exceptional role that agriculture, natural resources and the rural economy play in people's survival as well as the damage to food and agriculture systems caused by such crises.
The poor in rural and urban areas are disproportionately affected, and the inability of families, communities and institutions to anticipate, absorb, accommodate or recover and adapt from crises and disasters in a timely, efficient and sustainable manner is at the crux of FAO's work in this area. Weakness in resilience triggers a downward spiral - household livelihoods and national development gains that have taken years to build are compromised or at times shattered.
Building resilience
FAO's work focuses on developing, protecting and restoring sustainable livelihoods so that the integrity of societies that depend on farming, livestock, fish, forests and other natural resources is not threatened by crises. It uses a "twin-track" approach, on the one hand taking immediate steps to protect and support agriculture, food and nutrition, and on the other addressing in the longer term the underlying factors driving risks, disasters and crises. Enhancing resilience also needs political will, investment, coordination, technical expertise capacities, innovation, and shared responsibility for disaster risk reduction and crisis management by countries, local authorities, communities, civil society, the private sector, and the international community. Four main complementary and multi-sector components are essential at global, regional, national and local levels:
- Enable the environment: the capacities of countries for risk and crisis management or "risk governance "for agriculture, food and nutrition (ie. prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response, recovery and rehabilitation) need to be strengthened.
- Watch to safeguard: continued improvements are needed in information management, early warning, risk analysis and surveillance systems of multi hazard risks for agriculture, food and nutrition (including food security and food safety) so as to provide more timely, accurate and actionable alerts.
- Apply DRR measures: while hazards are unavoidable, they need not become disasters. Disasters can be prevented and mitigated by systematically applying Disaster Risk Reduction good practices before, during and after crisis for agriculture, food and nutrition..
- Prepare and respond: when people's capacities are overwhelmed by crises, they need to be able to count on effective local, national and international emergency responses. These include preparedness and humanitarian assistance including livelihoods protection, rebuilding of assets and other forms of social protection adapted to aid 'at risk'populations.
Resilience requires greater coherence and integration of humanitarian, development investment and policy interventions to support local and national institutions and communities, backed up by an effective global system of coordinated actors.

Get a taste of Asian-Pacific culture at Parris Island celebration
If you'd like to take in a little Asian-Pacific culture right here in the Lowcountry, make plans to stop by the 2012 Tri-Command and Beaufort County Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month celebration May 18 on Parris Island.
The event will feature lots of food and entertainment native to the Asian and Pacific regions. Japan, China, the Philippines, India, Thailand and Hawaii will be represented through a variety of tastes, sights and sounds.
"This is not necessarily for Asians," said Jong Gamboa, chairman of the event. "It's actually for Americans who need to learn what Asian-Pacific culture is."
The menu this year will include: lumpia, chicken adobo, teriyaki, lo mein, fried rice and vegetable masala. Traditions Restaurant at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island will cater the event, with the exception of the lumpia, which will be made by local Filipino-Americans.
And for entertainment there will be a fashion show, a martial arts demonstration, and performances by a Japanese band and several professional dancers.
"It's a very colorful event," Gamboa said, adding that he encourages guests to wear Hawaiian shirts to get in the spirit.
Adm. Colin Chinn, the highest ranking medical doctor in the U.S. Navy, will speak at the event.
Gamboa said the Asian-Pacific culture is meaningful in the Beaufort area because many members of the military have spent time stationed in the region.
"So part of this event is serving them food that they really loved while they were overseas," Gamboa said.

"Patience my friend Patience!!!!"
A monthly blog series about one of my most favorite image every month. This is post 2 of a 12 part series.
Visualizing a shot, waiting for just the right amount of light, in this case waiting for the perfect amount of snow, choosing the correct angle and spot for shooting and keeping a lot of patience are some of the most critical components that went into making this month's Image.
Chaukambha offers a very imposing view from my house, and I am always looking for ways to express how magnificent it is, in the form of my images. Last year I made a star trail using my 50mm lens and really loved it. But I really wanted to make a wide angle shot in that same setting, when the opportunity presented.
So one of my students (in the school which I teach), has her house located, at which I consider one of the best vantage point to view Chaukhamba. One day during rains this year I was talking a walk,and while passing through her house had this idea, that I could probably make a beautiful star trail from her house.
Now for this star trail to be good, I had certain conditions in my head.
- Chaukhamba had to be covered in fresh snow, lots of fresh snow
- The moonlight had to be good and the weather not too hazy.
- If possible I also wanted snow on the mountain ridges to the front of Chaukhamba
I waited, and waited patiently for snowfall to happen. I even prayed to god that, let is snow only when there is proper moonlight??. Now this year, it snowed (very unfortunately) only 3 to 4 times. The amount of snowfall on the snow covered peaks has been good, but for me to take the shot, it had to rain where I was. Because if it snows on the peaks, and not where I stay, the weather would still be hazy and I won't be able to make that trail.
Now fresh snow looks fresh only for a couple of days and if I cannot shoot it within the first two nights after the snowfall, I had to wait for the next. Plus the moonlight had to be good, so that there was some detail in the mountain ridges to the front.
If you combine all these probabilities, this shot required me to be really lucky and lucky I got some 2 weeks back (Phew! After months of waiting??). It was some 5 days before full moon when it finally snowed and I had proper moonlight and clear weather. After that it was pretty simple, I went to her house, set up my tripod, shot for 2 hours and came up with this star trail which also happens to be this month's Image. Actually, looking back, i would have hoped for a little less moonlight, that would have been perfect, but one takes what one gets.??
Hope you like the image and story. If you do, please do share ?
Please do check out my other blogs here and click here for upcoming expeditions.
