With the conclusion of the 2014 Liberty volleyball season, Alan York of Liberty Flames Sports Network (LFSN) recently caught up with 11th-year head coach Shane Pinder.
Liberty went 23-10 during the 2014 season, earning its seventh 20-win season in the last eight year. The Lady Flames registered a 12-win improvement over the 2013 campaign to regain their winning form. Liberty posted a 10-4 record in conference play, placing third in the Big South.
Pinder became Liberty's all-time winningest volleyball coach on Oct. 3 at Gardner-Webb, and then became the fourth volleyball head coach in Big South history with 200 or more wins the next day at UNC Asheville. He has won 208 matches (115 Big South) in 11 seasons, leading this team to four Big South regular-season titles, four conference tournament championships and four appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
The Lady Flames got off to their fastest-ever start to conference play, at 9-0, before going 1-4 in their final five regular-season matches due to injuries to key players.
Liberty reached 20 wins in their 25th match, downing Coastal Carolina on Oct. 18 to post their fastest start in program history. The Lady Flames were the second team in Division I to reach 20 wins this season, trailing only Colorado State.
The team sped to a 22-5 record to start the season, after going on a 13-match winning streak from September 20 through October 25. The Lady Flames' winning streak was its longest since a program-record 16-match winning streak in 2007.
Liberty posted a big, 3-2 win over Virginia on Sept. 23. It was Liberty's first victory against the Cavaliers since 1979, a span of 30 meetings. Redshirt junior Caroline Douglas sent down a match-high 27 kills, helping Liberty to a win in a matched aired on ESPN3.com.
On Oct. 18 at Coastal Carolina, the Lady Flames downed the eventual conference champion Chanticleers, 3-1. Douglas sent down 22 kills, becoming the 15th player to record 1,000 or more career kills. In the same match, freshman Hannah Weidner registered a career-high 20 kills, marking the first time since Nov. 12, 2011 at UNC Asheville that two Lady Flames recorded 20 kills in the same match.
The Lady Flames finished the season as the highest-scoring offense in the Big South, leading the conference in both kills per set (13.57) and assists per set (12.68). Liberty also ranked second in the Big South with a .232 attack percentage. For the fifth time in the last six years, Liberty placed four players on the Big South All-Conference teams, led by redshirt junior Caroline Douglas on the first team. Juniors Jade Vorster and Caila Stapleton made the second team along with freshman Hannah Weidner. Weidner was joined on the All-Freshman team by Sirena Vorster, while Stapleton was voted to the All-Academic team.
Redshirt junior Caroline Douglas had a dominant year, leading the Big South in kills per set while recording 10 20-kill matches and 10 double-doubles. She scored a career-high 29 kills on Sept. 12 against Central Connecticut, the second-most by a Lady Flame under the current rally-scoring format. She will enter her final year at Liberty ranked 15th in program history with 1,041 career kills.
Junior Jade Vorster made an immediate impact after transferring from Hawai'i. A two-time All-Big West selection before joining the Lady Flames, Vorster placed second in the Big South in blocks while setting a new program rally-scoring record with 32 solo blocks. Her 145 total blocks were the second most in a single-season in the program's rally-scoring history.
Freshman Hannah Weidner had a standout first year for the Lady Flames, placing second in the Big South Freshman of the Year voting. She ranked fifth in the conference in kills per set. Weidner posted a team-best 25 10-kill matches, including a program-record-tying 19 in a row at one point.
Junior Caila Stapleton took charge of the Liberty offense during her first season as starting setter. She led the Big South in assists per set. She paced the Lady Flames with 12 double-doubles, and recorded 11 straight 40-assist matches, from Sept. 20 through Oct. 18. Senior Gabrielle Shipe capped a successful career with 1,708 career digs, good for third all-time in program history. Her 542 digs this season were the fifth-most in a single season in program history.

The RedBall Project
The RedBall Project
In 2008, the then new Spertus building was a site for artist Kurt Perschke's RedBall Project, an ongoing, mobile sculptural performance that has taken place in such locations as Barcelona and Sydney. The RedBall Project functions as a series of daily installations in which a 15-foot inflatable red sphere is embedded within a city's urban environment and provides a point of interaction with people on the street. At Spertus, the ball was lodged underneath the point of the architectural "skirt" of the building's dramatic glass façade. The RedBall Project was sponsored by Target and is part of the City of Chicago's Public Art Program. Visit www.redballproject.com for further information.

Gov. Neil Abercrombie has vetoed seven bills from the Legislature, disagreeing with lawmakers on issues of tourism, funds and crime victims.
One of the vetoes announced Tuesday stops the Hawaii Tourism Authority from being permanently exempt from state comptroller oversight. Abercrombie says that would take away checks and balances that help make the agency transparent.
Another veto stops the repeal of several funds, including the Center for Labor Education and Research revolving fund. Abercrombie says he thinks the center should use the funds rather than the money being used for general purposes.
Abercrombie also vetoed a bill that would have given crime victims a process for restorative justice. Abercrombie says he agrees with the concept but doesn't think the bill gives adequate protection for victims.

Salty runners are strivers. We train hard, we aim high and we're tough. These are the qualities that enable us to succeed and blow the lid off what we ever thought was possible.
But sometimes these qualities are the exact thing that gets us into trouble. Sometimes we train too hard. Sometimes we aim too high. And sometimes we are even too tough. I think most of us understand this, but the line between striving for our best and overtraining can be a bit blurry. Even when we think we're doing everything right–even not doing as much as we've done in the past–even then, we might be pushing too hard for our current selves.
Overtraining is a serious condition that can have lifetime repercussions. Every single serious runner should know what overtraining is and what signs and symptoms to look for so she can nip it in the bud before it becomes a chronic problem. Overtraining is not isolated to those running over 100 mile weeks, those training to make the Olympic team or the super fast among us. It can happen to any of us. It happened to me.
What is overtraining?
The term 'overtraining' describes the point when you've pushed your body beyond its limits and inhibited its ability to recover. This occurs when you've applied so much stress to your body that you've overtaxed your immune system, endocrine system, and neurological systems. This inability to recover will affect an overtrained athlete's mood, willpower, enthusiasm, as well as her running performance. At worst, it can be a lifelong recurring condition preventing an athlete from ever training at a high level again. It can lead to increased propensity for depression, illness and injury. It's no joke.[pullquote]Just because you used to be able to handle more, even a lot more, does not mean you are immune from overtraining when you do less now.[/pullquote]
There are two different kinds
There are two types of overtraining syndromes: Sympathetic Nervous System Dominance and Parasympathetic Nervous System Dominance (Parasympathetic Overtraining). Most long distance runners should worry about Parasympathetic Overtraining. Unfortunately, most running sources discuss Sympathetic Overtraining, which is far more common in sprinters than distance runners. While there is a lot of overlap of symptoms between the two, there are some very important differences. But first, a quick anatomy lesson:
Your autonomic nervous system are the nerves and parts of your brain that control your body's unconscious actions, like breathing and blinking and heartbeats. It is divided into two parts:
The sympathetic nervous system, which is your stress system that causes you to go into flight or fight mode when stressed, which can be a bad thing or a good thing. Think about what it feels like right before a big race starts; it can feel like there's an electric current running through your body, and it gives you an extra boost of energy to go faster. Sympathetic dominance overtraining occurs when these parts of the nervous system go into overdrive. People who experience this type of overtraining feel stressed all the time.
The parasympathetic nervous system, which controls your body's ability to rest and digest. When you suffer from parasympathetic dominance overtraining, your sympathetic nervous system is suppressed, so your parasympathetic nervous system dominates. Therefore, you will have a difficult time getting aroused, getting pumped up or "digging deep." Because most running sources discuss overtraining in terms of Sympathetic Overtraining, we will discuss the symptoms for both. But before that …
Who is susceptible to overtraining?
Every serious runner is at risk. It's important to understand that there is no set amount of training stress that will overtrain everyone. What will overtrain you is very specific to you–and to where you are today. Just because you used to be able to handle more, even a lot more, does not mean you are immune from overtraining when you do less now. Also, just because someone of similar race times can handle a particular training load does not mean you can.
The only way to know what will overtrain you is to go there and you really don't want to! That's why it's important to understand who is most susceptible and what the symptoms are so you can attack overtraining head on, should you feel like you're on the verge.
While it can happen to any of us, these groups are at particularly high risk:
1. Runners increasing their volume, intensity or both as they strive for big PRs in a short time.
This is probably who we all think of as the person who's going to overtrain herself. The athlete who overtrains herself runs relatively high mileage, runs all her easy runs too fast, her track workouts too hard, way more miles than she's ready for, and never takes a break. The harder she forces herself to get into shape and the bigger the PR she chases in one season, the more likely it is that she will cross the line into overtraining. Injuries suck, but avoiding overtraining is a big reason why the running experts suggest gradually increasing mileage and intensity over a long time. Big jumps in volume and intensity can lead to big problems. Also, not taking downtime between training cycles can be a huge problem. If in doubt, it's better to undertrain and be healthy than overtrain and be either chronically injured or miserable. Or, more likely, both.
2. Runners training hard who also experience significant physical and mental stress from their non-running life.
The body reacts to all kinds of stress similarly. When thinking about what your body can handle you have to consider not just the stress from your mileage and hard workouts, you have to also add in stress from work, home and the rest of your life. You also need to consider other physical stress.
Moms, in particular listen up! Pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and raising young kids is certainly mentally stressful, but it is also very physically stressful. I don't think I have ever experienced more physically demanding years than these last 7.
Another common stressful event that is linked to overtraining is moving from sea level to altitude. Weird! Other common times of a lot of stress? Wedding planning, relocating, home renovations, etc. If you're going through an unusually stressful time in your life, consider cutting back on your training stress too!
3. Runners who have experienced overtraining before.
That hard truth is that once you experience overtraining you are far more likely to experience it again than someone who never has. Once you do that to your body, your body remembers and will shut down with less stress than it did the first time. This means the line between training hard and overtraining for someone who has overtrained in the past will be forever a little lower than it was before she was overtrained. The best way to avoid overtraining is to never overtrain yourself!
What are the symptoms of overtraining?
The most comprehensive list of Sympathetic Overtraining symptoms I have ever seen comes from Dr. Timothy Noakes in his runners' bible, The Lore of Running (every serious runner should have this book! You can purchase a copy here). He breaks down the symptoms into emotional or mental symptoms and physical symptoms. The symptoms of Parasympathetic Overtraining are similar, but with a few key differences, as you can see in the following chart:
Most notably, I think, is that most of us know to be on the look out for an elevated resting heart rate–or a heart rate that's noticeably higher than normal–on easy runs, but likely when we're overtrained the opposite could be true! We usually think a lower heart rate is an indication of fitness. It can be, but it can also be a sign of overtraining. Crazy! Also, while an overtrained athlete usually loses all joy from running, she might also find herself feeling addicted to running and feeling unable or unwilling to quit even when finding little to no joy in it and knowing she's overtrained.
You do not need to have all these symptoms to be overtrained; having just a few may be enough of an indication. The more symptoms you have and the more severe your symptoms are, the more severe your case of overtraining.
If you are overtrained what should you do?
First of all, back off! This can be very very difficult for even the most exhausted and unenthusiastic overtrained runner. As I mentioned above, it's very common for overtrained athletes to be addicted to running and to be petrified of giving it up. But unfortunately, a break from running (and all exercise, at least initially) is the only cure.
How much and for how long you will need to back off will depend in large part on how severe your symptoms are and how long you've had them. For Parasympathetic Overtraining it's important to back off on both quantity of mileage (or time running) and the intensity of your running. You may be able to get away with recovering while doing easy runs for a few weeks or you may need to stop all exercise for a month or two. A full recovery for a mild case can take a few weeks while the recovery from a more severe case can take months or a year or more!
As for cross-training during recovery, remember your body interprets all exercise as stress. If you feel you must cross-train, the less stressful the cross-training activity the better. Walking or easy swimming would be the least stressful. Strength training might be another good option, but throwing yourself headlong into crossfit during recovery is probably not a good idea.[pullquote]How much and for how long you will need to back off will depend in large part on how severe your symptoms are and how long you've had them.[/pullquote]
It's important to wait to reintroduce running until you feel better. You should feel more rested, refreshed and excited to run again. When you do go back to it, ease in. Start with short jogs. Keep the effort very easy and the duration short. Take days off. Listen to your body. Slowly build back up your time running this easy pace. When you can handle an hour and feel good, then you can think about reinitiating a formal training plan.
But always remember that once you experience overtraining you are forever at an increased risk of overtraining again. It's important to examine your training and your lifestyle to pinpoint what led to your overtraining so you can correct the mistakes that led you there.
As for me, I will be writing about my experience with figuring out I was suffering from overtraining, what my warning signs were and how I plan to recover in future posts, that will all eventually be found at this link along with all our other posts on the topic.
Have you ever suffered from overtraining? What were your symptoms? What did you do about it?

Sharing 365 life lessons, tips, or hacks; the things that make life easier, happier, and more productive. I hope you'll follow along and find them helpful too.
Hide a Love Note
In yesterday's post, I wrote about surprising someone you love. While finding a love note you've tucked away may be a surprise to the person who finds it, I thought it detailed enough to be its own tip to promote your (and another's) happiness.
This suggestion is almost always found in lists of 'things to do' in order to perk up your relationship or build trust and intimacy between you and a partner. It's another one of those things we are apt to do in the early stages of romance before our attention and energy get pulled into the day-to-day distractions of real life. Yet, it's another – rather easy – free effort that reaps big payoffs in the long run.
I'll describe a number of the variations for this suggestion as well because it isn't as black and white as it may seem.
- Love note: This can be a one liner; a lengthy tribute; or anything in between. It is specifically directed to someone you love and the note points to those emotions; includes any 'loving' relationship.
- Thinking of you note: Generally a one liner but may include a romantic suggestion or a good will wish.
- Appreciation note: A note specifically pointing out the attributes of the individual that you especially appreciate; more meaningful if you speak to 'who' the person is versus 'what' the person does.
The Medium
The notes can be from a sticky pad, beautiful stationery, printer paper, or the back of an old envelope. It doesn't matter what the note is written on – what matters is the time and sentiment that it takes to write and then 'hide' the message. Likewise, your penmanship, spelling, 'writing ability', and writing instrument makes no difference. The sentence: "I luv u with my hole hart" scribbled in crayon is just as sentimental as one that is typed on parchment paper and spelled correctly.
Hiding Spot
Hiding them is perhaps, the trickiest part. It's nice when they aren't blatantly obvious although if your only option is to lay it on the kitchen table before you leave for work – it's better than not doing it. However, the little surprises of finding a note hidden in a towel as you grab your shower, or inside a shoe you only wear on weekends, or at the bottom of a cereal box… those are the moments when you least expect to be presented with something significant or sweet. The goal here is for the note to be discovered in the most least expected way.
Think about the person you are writing to… where would they least expect to find a note of love, appreciation, or a kind thought? Grab something quick, while you're thinking about it, jot something down and then…
Hide a love note.
I love hearing your thoughts and ideas. Please share in the comments below

I'm getting soft.
I'm having more and more trouble with this trend I'm seeing where some other rad folks of color are dehumanizing some white people by calling them everything from devils, monsters, savages, to various types of animals. This discourse just makes me uncomfortable for several reasons:
- Dehumanizing discourses obscure the fact that these are people doing horrible things. I don't think it helps anyone to divide people, and ignore that these are human beings enacting horrible systems of oppression against other people.
- Calling them pigs, dogs, etc furthers a system of speciecism, even if subtly.
- Using the term savage for people that are enacting war, genocide, etc seems to me to be incorrect. They are engaging in civilized acts, as we all know civilizied people have been acting around the world for quite a while. "Savage" folk don't bomb the shit out of Gaza, civilized people do.
The system's a vampire. We are all human (at varying levels of fucked-upedness).

Barak Epstein of the Texas Theatre dug up this rare original copy of the Nemesis record "Oak Cliff" at Shake Rag Music recently.
You can hear it during Top Ten Records' Record Store Day party Saturday, April 22.
DJ Snake, who is from Oak Cliff, made the beat for the track and produced it with his partner Big Al, who also was from Oak Cliff.
From our 2015 interview with DJ Snake:
A lot of our parties were in Oak Cliff, so we were like, 'Let's make a song about Oak Cliff.' I made the beat for 'Oak Cliff' on an SP 1200 drum machine. The side B was called 'Snake Beats,' and I did that on a different drum machine, a Sequential drum machine. I got that idea from this New York producer called Mantronix who used to play at Starck Club.
Find the whole interview with DJ Snake here. It reads like an episode of VH1's "Behind the Music."
You can still donate via paypal to Top Ten Records' campaign to raise funds to renovate and make the shop into an archive for Dallas and Texas-centric media.

All websites are prone to security risks. Hence, any network that is connected to web servers must be backed up with resources. Setting aside security risks generated from misuse of networks will cause the website to be infiltrated with more serious risks.
Web servers have a way to open the window between your network and the world. Through server maintenance, the website can limit any information provided in order to increase its security. However, that will only work with the help of web based scanning.
Scanning Security
You will be able to determine if the website is secured when its server is turned OFF. The simplest web based scanning servers have limited open ports. Flexible and powerful web applications meanwhile are provided to keep complex websites running.
Some servers have multiple open ports that are vulnerable to configuring a range of scripting languages. If your system is configured correctly or an IT personnel applied security updates and patches to your network, chances are risks will be alleviated. Take note that there are certain applications you need to consider while keeping your system running.
Web based scanning has two major components - the "public" and "internal". If your website's security is HIGH, you have few network resources. Web based scanning is usually done by setting up tight permissions to the server. If your server's security settings are updated, all your applications will be patched up.
But if your website's security is LOW, all servers, applications and site codes will be automatically configured by the system. In some cases, this may result to security issues.
Web Based Scanning Strategies
There are two ways to accomplish excellent security in web scanning. First, you will allocate all network resources needed in order to maintain the constancy of alerting any security issues found. This strategy is done to ensure that all updates and patches are directed to your existing web applications for thorough checking. This is also to ensure that only knowledgeable programmers will determine if your website has an IDS/IPS, anti-virus and firewall protection.
Second, you'll use a web scanning solution to test any existing site code or application directed to your server. While IDS/IPS, firewalls and antivirus programs are essential in web scanning, it takes a simple logic to generate higher firewalls to determine your network's vulnerability to check security issues.
Vulnerability Testing is done to determine if the scanned website generates maximum level of security. It is done on a "dollar-to-dollar" basis and has been proven by IT experts as an effective web scanning strategy guaranteed to save networks & websites from being hacked.
Web Security and Site Code
The website unquestionably provides several methods of communication to its visitors. In every network where close web interaction is possible, Scanning is done to further check the server's vulnerability to web security. In determining its security and site code, you are required to let your visitors:
* Login or create an account
* Use a shopping cart (if your site is selling products or services)
* Download free updates

I did my undergraduate degree as a healthy person. I went to 9 am lectures after a night out. I stood up for 6 hours a day doing lab work. I sat for two-hour exams. As a Spoonie, I can't do any of those things. For my postgraduate degree, I purposely chose a course that was assessed by coursework only, as my memory is not what it used to be. As for attendance, I only have to go in for half a day per week for lectures/ seminars etc.
Check out a week in my life here
I was doing a Master's course at a different university when I first got sick. I had to wait so long for an effective treatment, that I eventually lost my place. Consequently, I was somewhat apprehensive about starting a new course. A few months before the start of my course, I signed up with the disability office at my new University. I had to provide a doctor's note as evidence of my illness which cost me the princely sum of £25. I met with my disability adviser soon after and we set up my personal learning plan which will be sent to all my tutors at the start of my course. After this meeting, I felt more confident about heading back to University as a person with a chronic illness.

I quickly realised that I was going to have to adapt my usual way of studying to incorporate my health needs. I have to attend hospital for a whole day every two weeks for treatment and I have to complete one hour of physiotherapy exercises every day. This means that I will have to do a considerable amount of planning in order to keep up with everyone else.
Instead of having a ridged weekly timetable, I'm going to set myself daily tasks that I will complete that day. This means that if I need to have a lie-in or an afternoon nap, I can and it won't mess up my whole day. Due to my fluctuating symptoms, I have learned to be flexible with my schedule and to set myself attainable goals for each day.
You shouldn't have to choose between maintaining your health and keeping your grades up. Don't be shy about your accommodations, they are designed to help you achieve your full academic potential. If you need an extra week to complete an assignment after a flare up, then ask for it! Don't settle for a poor grade if you know that you're capable of achieving more.

Gene Robinson, the openly gay US bishop whose consecration in 2003 polarised the worldwide Anglican Communion, says he believes that one day the Church will regret its rejection of homosexuals the way that it now regrets its support in the past for slavery.
"We believed in slavery for 18 and a half centuries before we came to know God's will for us with respect to people of colour," Robinson told Ecumenical News International on the campus of the University of Kent in Canterbury, England, where about 650 Anglican bishops from around the world are meeting for the 16 July to 3 August Lambeth Conference.
Robinson was not invited to be an official delegate to the once-every-10-years gathering. An Anglican Communion official said this was because of the "widespread objections" within the 77-million-strong grouping to Robinson's consecration as a bishop.
"It has been more painful than I thought it might be," Robinson said of being unable to take part in the meeting. "I've felt the exclusion profoundly. I understand that's just the way it has to be but it's a very odd and difficult feeling to have been separated from your own house of bishops by an external force."
Still, the 61-year-old bishop has been out and about on the campus, and shortly after his interview with ENI he was due to sign copies of his new book, "In the Eye of the Storm", in which he reflects on his faith, and life, and the controversy that has rocked the church.
His presence on the university campus where the other bishops are meeting is intended, Robinson said, "as a constant and steady reminder that every bishop in the Anglican Communion has gay and lesbian people in their diocese whether they know it or not, whether they know who they are or not, whether it [homosexuality] is legal or not".
Robinson's consecration as a bishop in the U.S. state of New Hampshire set off a wave of protest by many Anglican leaders, particularly in Africa, Asia and South America. About 250 bishops are reported to be boycotting the Lambeth gathering because of the presence of leaders of the U.S. Episcopal (Anglican) Church, which consented to the election and consecration of Robinson.
Robinson said he understood the position of Anglican bishops who believe the ordination and consecration of gay people is both unbiblical and anti-Christian.
"I don't consider them enemies at all, and its no surprise to me that people who live in contexts very different from our own in the [United] States see this problem very differently," said Robinson, a divorced father of two, who lives with a male partner. "It's no surprise that many of these bishops and people in these countries where homosexuality is publishable, sometimes by imprisonment, have not had the experience we have had in the American church, which is of faithful lesbian and gay people in the pews making themselves known to us, and our having to grapple with that issue."
Still, he added, "That doesn't mean I don't believe we shouldn't be changing those attitudes."
Robinson said he hoped the 650 bishops who are at the gathering would "resist the push by those who are not here to try and settle this once and for all because in the end I think we will come to regret our rejection of gay and lesbian people the way we have come to regret our support for slavery and our virtual rejection of women".
The bishops at the Lambeth Conference were on 31 July to begin discussions on how the Anglican Communion's engagement with same-sex issues had impacted on the participation of their dioceses in God's mission.
"The beauty of Anglicanism is that it has been a big umbrella under which we can disagree about many things so long as we agree on the essentials," said Robinson. "I would plead for a continuation of that great tradition in which we hold together and we continue to be the church, despite our differences on this issue because I don't think it rises to the level of being an essential."
Whether that is possible or not still remains to be seen, acknowledges the New Hampshire bishop.
"Here's where the divide is," said Robinson. "You don't hear anyone on the side of those who would argue for greater inclusion of gay and lesbian people argue that anyone else has to leave. No one is saying that the conservatives within the communion should leave because they don't understand the will of God."
He added, "That is what you hear coming from the other side, and the difficulty of course is that you can't make anyone stay. I would make a plea for our holding together while we live in this tension for a while."
For almost 18 years before being elected bishop of New Hampshire, Robinson was the assistant to his predecessor in the diocese. He described the collegiality between clergy and laity as "really amazing", saying this included those who had thought his election was not the right thing to do.
"We have no parishes threatening to break away … I might even say it's the one diocese in the whole of the Anglican Communion that doesn't deal with this issue at all," said Robinson.
"I will be so glad to return home and not have to talk about being gay, or gay and lesbian issues," he said, "because mercifully in my own diocese I'm just the bishop, I'm not the 'gay bishop'."

Watch "The Blender Girl" Tess Masters and I show you how to whip up some naturally gluten free and vegan Super Food Smoothies!
Everyone talks about super foods, but what do you do with them? And what are they all about?
In this super fun episode of my cooking show you will see "The Blender Girl" Tess Masters break it all down and we show you have to make two amazing smoothies in the process.
Chai Tai
"If the world were ending, I'd make this decadent treat my finale. The incredible creaminess and blend of warm spices will make you weak in the knees. The boosters add an injection of protein and omega-3s—so you may feel a tad less cheeky as you head to heaven."
Serves 2
1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk or other nut, grain, or seed milk (strained if homemade)
1 cup (240ml) coconut water
1/4 cup (43g) chopped pitted dates (soaked, if using a conventional blender)
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of natural salt (optional, to bring out flavors)
2 medium frozen sliced bananas
1 cup (125g) ice cubes (optional)
Throw all of the ingredients into your blender and puree on high for 30 to 60 seconds, until smooth and creamy.
1 tablespoon blanched raw almonds, soaked
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
Pomegranate Slam It!
"With a complex, mind-blowing flavor that explodes like a firecracker (don't omit the cayenne), this is a heart-healthy delight. Pomegranate lowers blood pressure, keeps arteries supple, decreases inflammation in blood vessels, and helps manage cholesterol. Its phenolic antioxidants (also in strawberries) combat oxidative stress, making this an anti-aging tonic."
Serves 2
1 1/2 cups (360ml) unsweetened pomegranate juice
1 orange, peeled, seeded, and quartered
1/4 cup (35g) chopped red bell pepper
1/8 cup (3g) loosely packed arugula
1/2 small avocado, pitted and peeled
1 cup (160g) frozen strawberries
1 cup (125g) ice cubes

At The Alderton, our main goal is to provide children with opportunities to explore the world through scientific investigation. We aim to make all learning memorable through the embedded use of experiments to develop independence to form their own scientific enquiry.
Curriculum Summary:
Lower KS2
The main focus of science teaching in lower key stage 2 is to enable pupils to broaden their scientific view of the world around them. This is achieved through pupils exploring, talking about, testing and developing ideas about everyday phenomena and the relationships between living things and familiar environments, and by beginning to develop their ideas about functions, relationships and interactions. They are taught to ask their own questions about what they observe and make some decisions about which types of scientific enquiry are likely to be the best ways of answering them. They will learn to draw simple conclusions and use some scientific language, first, to talk about and, later, to write about what they have found out.
Upper KS2
The main focus of science teaching in upper key stage 2 is to enable pupils to develop a deeper understanding of a wide range of scientific ideas. This is done by pupils exploring and talking about their ideas; asking their own questions about scientific phenomena; and analysing functions, relationships and interactions more systematically. At upper key stage 2, they encounter more abstract ideas and begin to recognise how these ideas help them to understand and predict how the world operates. Pupils also begin to recognise that scientific ideas change and develop over time. Pupils are taught to draw conclusions based on their data and observations, use evidence to justify their ideas, and use their scientific knowledge and understanding to explain their findings.
Our science overview outlines the different topic areas pupils study at different points in their time at our school. Please note that some major topic areas, such as Animals, including Humans, are revisited due to extensive content and the intention to secure progression in pupils' knowledge and understanding.
The main outcomes for children are to:
Pupils will be assessed through evidence in their books.

04 Aug Landing Pages: 4 Steps to Creating Pages that Convert
If you've been paying attention, you've probably noticed we talk about landing pages pretty frequently. And, there's a good reason: landing pages are a great way to attract leads and convert web traffic into sales and returning customers.
If you've been creating landing pages, but not converting traffic into leads or sales, then something isn't right. If your website is a salesperson, then landing pages are the tools that salesperson uses. These pages can be (and should be) used to:
- Target Local Markets
- Provide Top of The Funnel Offers
- Collect Information
- Promote Offers
- Launch Products
You see, there's a lot of great reasons to be using landing pages. But, if you're going to use them, you better be using them correctly.
What Converts Traffic On Landing Pages?
While conversion partly depends on your audience and how you segment them, there are a few other factors that can help you increase the conversion rate on your landing pages:
- Stay Above The Fold
- Provide Proof
- Contact Forms
- Simplify Copy
Using these four things on your landing pages will go a long way in helping you convert visitors into leads and increase sales. Here's how:
Stay Above The Fold
If you're wondering what "the fold" is don't worry. You aren't alone. It's kind of a confusing term and unless you're a web designer or digital marketer, you may not have heard it before.
It actually comes from an old newspaper term. When newspapers arrive, they are typically folded in half horizontally. Above the fold refers to the upper half of the newspaper.
In web design terms, above the fold refers to the portion of the screen that first pops up without you having to scroll. So, everything above the fold is what you see without scrolling. If you scroll, then you're going below the fold.
What a lot of people don't understand is that web visitors often won't scroll to find information below the fold. So, if you're placing critical information, your CTA, videos, contact forms, or images below the fold, you're probably losing out on a lot of opportunities.
When it comes to your landing page, it's important to keep things like videos, bullet points, and contact forms above the fold. This helps ensure that your target market will see the information and fill out the contact form.
Provide Proof
Just because you're claiming to sell "the best hot sauce east of the Mississippi" doesn't mean visitors are going to believe you.
It's your job to convince visitors of that claim. With proof, you can help establish your credibility and convince visitors they need your product, can't live without your service, or absolutely have to download your e-book.
So, how do you establish this "proof?"
Well, there are several ways you can do it:
- Reviews/Testimonials: This is the classic way to show proof. By collecting reviews or testimonials from your clients or customers, you can prove that your claims are true. Make sure your reviews and testimonials are genuine, free of spelling and grammar issues, and relate directly to the subject of your landing page.
- Video Demos: If you're launching a product or promoting a special offer, then a video demonstration is a great way to show potential leads how it works and what to expect. The video allows visitors to see first-hand what you are talking about.
- Ratings: Coming from all over the place, ratings (as in 4 out of 5 stars or 98% Customer Satisfaction) are a great way to show your value. Whether you sell products or services, ratings allow you to better visualize how much you are worth. You can collect these ratings on Google, Facebook, and whole host of other sites.
- Awards: Have you won any awards for your product or services? This a great place to showcase them. Instead of just saying you're best hot sauce, an award conveys the same message while also providing legitimacy to it.
Contact Forms
It probably seems a little silly that we're mentioning contact forms on this blog post.
Who creates a landing page without including a contact form?
Well, that's not exactly what we mean. What we do mean by including contact forms in this list is the way contact forms are used.
For starters, contact forms should fully fit above the fold (see, earlier lessons are already starting to come back into play). If your contact form goes beyond the fold it's an indication of two things: 1) it's probably too long and needs to be shortened. 2). Your visitors most likely won't fill out the form because they can't see the whole thing.
The second thing you need to think about when it comes to contact forms is the information you're asking for. How many questions do you ask? What types of questions do you ask?
Contact forms need to be simple. You should always include the basics: name, email address, and phone number.
Beyond that, it all depends on your overall goals, but you could ask questions about job title, business name, business functionality, number of employees, where they heard about x, and other questions that will help you segment your leads.
However, you need to avoid asking all of the questions you can think of. Remember, this is the start of your relationship. You wouldn't ask every question you can think of on the first date, so why do that here?
Simplify Copy
We know how much you love writing about your products and/or services, but your landing page isn't the best place for that (no matter how great of a writer you are).
In order to get the conversion rate you're looking for, your landing pages need to have simplified copy. This doesn't mean you have to dumb down your text. In fact, it's kind of the opposite of that. You need bullet points that convey your message, sell your offer, and highlight the benefits and features of your offer.
Remember, you have to keep the important stuff above the fold, so long narrative text will probably run below that point. Bullet points not only let you stay above the fold, but they also help you create easy-to-read text that visitors can quickly scan and understand.
By highlighting a few features and benefits, you're able to create a sense of need in your visitors. When they understand why they need you, your product, or your service, then they'll be far more likely to complete any form or other CTA you have the page.
Landing Page Anatomy
Landing pages are a constantly evolving piece of your digital marketing. You have to be willing to tweak, change, and adjust them on an ongoing basis. Only then will you be able to make them as successful as possible. Consider changing up the questions in your contact form. Adjust the benefits. Change out the proof you offer. Keep adjusting and refining.
If you're ready to start converting traffic and really step up your landing page game, then you'll need a strategic digital marketing partner. At Iconic, we're all about helping our clients strategically grow their leads and increase their sales.

As explained in the October 2016 Build note, the TypeScript team developed what was called an "Automated Typings Acquisition" module that "automatically installs the typings files of all dependencies in a cache on your file system" when it spots references to them in the JSON package file and some client-side libraries. The note continues: "When you then invoke IntelliSense, the TypeScript server uses the typings files in the cache. The cache is shared between all your workspaces." Before that release, it was a manual process to employ IntelliSense while coding with JavaScript from within the VS Code environment.
A more comprehensive look at these and other features and changes can be viewed in the release notes.
(Side note: You can also read about the issues with the typings acquisition module in this article on ADTmag.com by David Ramel. If you do, it might introduce some confusion as to which version of VS Code is being rolled out, whether it's the September 2016 Build 1.6.1 or October Build 1.7 sans JavaScript IntelliSense. We have asked for comment from Microsoft and will update this post with information as soon as get some confirmation.
As a side note to that: It's still worth reading because Ramel references comments from the VS Code and npm teams on the work being done to correct the issues; as of this posting, the comments that Ramel references do not appear in the release note but are insightful nonetheless.)
(UPDATE: Microsoft's Wade Anderson has posted a clarification on the VS Code portal page regarding the VS Code version being rolled out to users starting today. "This morning we implemented a mitigation fix and created a new release and you should now be on VS Code 1.7.1," writes Anderson, confirming that users were indeed being rolled back to 1.6.1 prior to the mitigation fix this morning, and confirming information from David Ramel's news item on ADTmag.com. With ATA disabled, developers who upgrade to the rollback will see version 1.7.1 with the new features we discuss above and in the release note.)

If you are a fan of the classic movie "A Christmas Story", time is running out to register for a virtual run that will get you this awesome medal:
If you haven't seen the movie, the picture on the medal will mean nothing to you. But if you have seen it, you are giggling right now.
Thirty one years ago this movie was released in theatres, but its real success did not come until it was played on television. It is now considered a Christmas classic. Many (including myself) consider it to be one of the top Christmas films ever made. In my opinion it was a movie that was a little ahead of its time, somehow managing a sweet, nostalgic feel, combined with a wicked sense of humour.
Last year the first "A Christmas Story Run" was held in Cleveland, where there is actually a museum housed in the same home used for the movie. When I read about this race, after the fact, on the blog Salty Running, I was so upset I had missed out. Not that I would have made it to Cleveland, but the race also holds a virtual version, sending out the medal and shirt , plus some Olvatine (again, you have to know the movie) to registrants. "Pepper" at Salty Running kindly offered up her medal to me (both she and her husband had one) if I was willing to donate to charity and run 10k. The boys and I went shopping for the local charity Toy Mountain and then our family went out for a winter run…
earning what is my favourite medal ever…
You may notice a leg lamp theme! I am expecting one year to see a pink bunny, a bar of soap, Chinese food, and a Red Rider BB gun. Again, watch the movie if you want any of this to make sense!
If you are interested in the virtual run, check out their website at http://www.achristmasstoryrun.com/

Two men are facing felony drug charges after police allegedly discovered more than 8 pounds of marijuana during a July 2 traffic stop. The 28-year-old and 27-year-old Houston residents are said to have been on their way to Louisiana when a Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper pulled over their car on U.S. Highway 59 in Angelina County at approximately 12:15 p.m. Reports indicate that a significant quantity of pills and about 50 grams of a controlled liquid were also found in the vehicle.
According to a TDPS report, the men's car was initially pulled over for a motor vehicle violation. The trooper involved called in a K9 unit after becoming suspicious while questioning the man behind the wheel. However, police reports and media accounts do not indicate what led the trooper to believe that drugs were hidden in the vehicle.
Both men face second-degree felony counts of possession of a controlled substance and their-degree felony counts of marijuana possession. The 28-year-old man has also been charged with a felony count of unlawful possession of a firearm. After being taken into custody at the scene, the men were transported to the Angelina County Jail for processing. The 28-year-old man's bail has been set at $31,000 and the 27-year-old man's bail has been set at $12,000.
Criminal defense attorneys with experience in cases involving drug charges may study police reports very carefully when presented with facts like this. While motorists have no expectation of privacy while driving on public roads, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that traffic stops can't be delayed to call in K9 units without probable cause.

If you haven't yet noticed, one of the tabs on my site, Commas and Cotton Candy, is Long Distance Relationships. I have had my fair share of experiences when it comes to LDRs and it's also an integral part of who I am but before I start writing posts about it, I wanted to share my personal experience with LDRs.
I've been in a long distance relationship as long as I can remember. My grandparents live in Fukuoka and I lived overseas for my whole childhood. I would see them twice a year for a few weeks at a time when we would go back to visit over summer and winter vacation.
I have only made 4 major moves in my life (early 20's), but having attended an international school, I faced many a heartbreak as I had friends going in and out of my life for all of middle school and high school. While friends moving away is always painful, one memory from sophomore year really sticks out: Gabs told me over lunch that she was moving to Australia and I was absolutely heartbroken. We sobbed all through lunch and we couldn't stop crying and ended up missing our math quiz (lol sorry Mr. B).
After graduating high school, my friends were dispersed across the globe. In my junior year, I met a guy from Spain while I was back home in Hong Kong for the summer and we started dating. The rest, as they say, is history (history = 4 years of long distance and counting).
I know about the shock when you first hear the news, the heartbreak in preparing for it, the struggle of trying to "make the most of the time we have now", how desperately you try to frequently Skype. I also know the joy of realizing you'll reunite again, counting down the days, the first hug, resuming conversations as if nothing has changed and reminiscing on the good old days. The absolute bliss when they visit you and you can share your city with them. I know the heartbreak of having to say goodbye at the airport. If you hug them tight enough, if you clutch their hand long enough, maybe somehow time will stop and you won't have to say goodbye?
While LDRs are incredibly painful, I have learnt to see the beauty of them. Simply the fact that your relationship and your love can withstand thousands of miles, whether you had a choice in this distance or not, I find beautiful. More than anything, I have learned from them; about myself, about others, about communication and about love.
My current LDR status: I live in Tokyo. My grandparents live in Fukuoka. My sister lives in Canada. My boyfriend lives in Hong Kong. My (best) friends are scattered around the world from Hong Kong to Australia to Singapore to Chicago to Vancouver to Thailand.
Stay tuned as I share my experiences and stories with LD, interviews with people in various LDRs, advice and more! (If there are topics you specifically want to read about, please write it in the comment sections below)
*Disclaimer: I am not claiming to be a LDR expert. I know many people experience LDRs in different ways, I will simply be sharing my own experiences with it and the lessons that have come out of it.

Popular Ghanaian rapper M.anifest says his family had no qualms about his decision to go into showbiz.
His comment comes a day after he released his new video for the "No Shortcut To Heaven" featuring Obrafour.
The man, who is born Kwame Ametepee Tsikata, is the son of Ghana's celebrated lawyer and academic Tsatsu Tsikata. Many had thought he would follow in his father's footsteps. But the "Somewey Bi' rapper decided to be successful but only through music. He has already worked with the likes of English musician Damon Albarn, Flea, Tony Allen, American songwriter and singer Erykah Badu, and is featured on five songs on the Rocket Juice and the Moon album.
"I mean, of course, if you are doing something that is bringing glory to your family, there is no way they will disagree with it, " M.anifest said about his family over the weekend when he and Lydia Forson were hosted by Melvina on Sunyani-based radio Suncity 97.1 FM.
Both M.anifest and Lydia were in that part of the country as part of the actress' A Letter From Adammovie premiere at the Sunyani Polytechnic.
According to M.anifest, he has surrounded himself with people like Lydia Forson because they inspire him.
On Friday M.anifest released his much-anticipated video for his hit single, "No Shortcut to Heaven".
The video was shot in two locations in the Eastern Region of Ghana and is set primarily in a mining site.
The video was directed by Garth Von Glehn of Film Fam, and M.anifest assumes the role of a small-scale miner while narrating the cautionary tale of a young hustler trying to make money and navigate love.

Costs of NAC
Whether you're a geographically dispersed retailer, manufacturer or financial services firm, managing a NAC appliance at each location can get expensive quickly. Consider that each hardware-based NAC appliance would cost about $20,000. Additionally, that appliance very well could require paying the travel expenses and time of an expert for the initial deployment and configuration. Then there's the burden of continuous maintenance and updating.
And, in some instances, depending on the nature of your architecture, remote management may not be feasible without significant and risky changes to your network configuration. If you want to keep costs down (including ongoing maintenance and management costs), a software-based NAC solution may be a viable option.
Depending on your needs, implementing NAC as part of a comprehensive IT security solution may be the best option. Many large infrastructure vendors have partnered with security vendors to offer their services with best-of-breed security technology.
As you can see, there are many things to consider before you make your move to NAC-and we hope this article helps you to simplify your choice. No matter what type of solution you choose, you eventually will need to pull the trigger and deploy. That's when you'll need a deployment strategy. It's best to deploy in stages. That is, approach your NAC with incremental installs that solve a specific need or secure a certain location or network segment. As you get more familiar with the NAC solution, move the deployment throughout the business. In the beginning, you'll want to plan a reasonable amount of time to monitor how well it's going, and to give administrators the time they need to understand its impact on systems and your network.
Also, before you turn on any policy enforcement capabilities, make sure you have a good remediation strategy in place. Will you block people with noncompliant systems outright? How well are you integrated with patch management software? You'll also want to know, and have established, where you are going to store your remediation files and directions for any systems that are not in compliance.
Despite the fact that NAC currently is facing a level of resistance in the marketplace as a result of some less-than-spectacular deployments, it's more crucial than ever that NAC be examined. Not only have there been recent advances in NAC solutions, but many of the problems with failed solutions have been the result of not thinking NAC through, choosing the wrong solution, rushing too fast into the deployment or attempting to do too much too fast. Now you know how to do it better.

High Court victory does not mean the end of the battle for Nascot Lawn
PUBLISHED: 11:43 27 February 2018 | UPDATED: 10:46 01 March 2018
Danny Loo Photography 2017
Despite their success at the High Court, parents are still worried about the future of Nascot Lawn.
Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group (HVCCG) has been ordered to consult with Herts County Council (HCC) on the future of the respite centre, but families are unsure what the results of the consultation will be.
Parent David Josephs said: "It's a success in the campaign and I welcome it, but it's not a victory. There is still a long way to go."
If the two bodies cannot agree a course of action, HCC can refer the issue to the Health and Social Care Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
In the meantime, Nascot Lawn will stay open until at least August.
David said: "I still have great concerns because HVCCG has significant financial problems.
"It all depends on these discussions, but I have no insight into how they may go, which is worrying."
HVCCG will discuss the results of the consultation in May.
David wants to see more transparency from HVCCG on which of their services are costing them the most, as he says costs for Nascot Lawn have not increased in recent years.
More money ought to be found to secure Nascot Lawn's future for longer, he believes.
The Nascot Lawn case was brought by families from Hemel Hempstead and Bushey, and represented by law firm Irwin Mitchell.
Partner at Irwin Mitchell Alex Rook said: "Ever since the CCG announced its intention to withdraw funding for Nascot Lawn the families have shown great strength and determination to fight this decision, not once but twice.
"Despite concerns having been raised numerous times about the legality of the decision, the CCG continued to press ahead with its plans, meaning the families had no alternative but to take their fight to the High Court.
"We have always argued on their behalf that the CCG and the local authority should work together to decide how they can continue to operate this vital community service and are delighted that the court has endorsed this view.
"The CCG has twice been told by the High Court following our submissions its actions were unlawful and the decision to withdraw funding from Nascot Lawn has been quashed for a second time. We only hope this time the CCG co-operates with the county council to ensure that Nascot Lawn stays open."

Mondelez Launches Global Media Review, Picks Spark Foundry and VaynerMedia for North American Business
CPG company spends more than $1 billion annually
Mondelez International, one of the world's largest advertisers, confirmed today that it has moved on to the international phase of a global media review after naming its new North American agency partners.
"I can confirm that we have selected Spark Foundry as one of our new partners for MDLZ North America as part of a global media review effort," said a spokesperson, adding, "We have enjoyed a partnership with VaynerMedia for several years, and we are looking forward to continuing to work with them within the structure of our new global review."
Multiple sources close to the matter told Adweek that the Publicis Groupe agency will handle media buying duties in North America, while VaynerMedia gets the digital and planning portions of the business.
Representatives for both Spark Foundry and VaynerMedia deferred to the client for comment.
During Mondelez's recent year-end earnings report, CEO Dirk Van de Put told investors his top priority involves boosting sales in North America. But the company, which has lost market share to local candymakers in major markets like India, also is looking to streamline its operations around the world in keeping with other multinational CPG businesses like P&G, Unilever and Kimberly-Clark, which recently launched a global creative agency review after announcing plans to cut 5,000 jobs.
"We launched a global media review as our current assignments are coming to an end," a global Mondelez representative told Adweek. "With this review, we're taking a new look at our media buying in order to address key changes such as programmatic, transparency and ecommerce and better equip our company for the next three years. We recently finalized the review in North America and are now in the process of conducting a review in AMEA and MEU. We intend to finalize that effort sometime in Q3."
The spokesperson declined to elaborate on whether the company has hired an outside consultancy to manage the process.
In late 2015, Mondelez effectively split its global media account between Dentsu's Carat and Publicis Groupe's Starcom MediaVest (now Spark Foundry), with the former handling the business in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and North America and the latter responsible for Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as Latin America.
Sources told Adweek that Mondelez sent RFPs to all the major holding companies for the global review and that Publicis will be competing via a multiagency "Power of One" conglomerate. Spokespeople for Publicis and Dentsu referred to the client, while Omnicom declined to comment. A Havas representative confirmed that the network would not be participating in the review, and WPP's GroupM declined to comment.
Earlier reports held that Carat was invited to defend in the North American review, but an agency spokesperson has not responded to a request for comment. Two sources with knowledge of the global review told Adweek that Omnicom Media would be participating, meaning the pitch will most likely pit WPP against Publicis and Dentsu.
According to Kantar Media, Mondelez spent approximately $210 million on measured media in the U.S. in 2016 and just under $170 million last year. International consultancy R3 estimates the company spends between $1 billion and $1.5 billion around the world annually.

Braden and his crew were incredible to work with! When we sat down with Braden to discuss lighting options, his knowledge and expertise in specialty lighting definitely helped us envision our reception. For our reception at French Park, my fiancé and I decided on strung bistro lights through the tent, moving dance floor lights, uplighting for the garden and back porch and spot lights on the house. Using Cincy Lighting Services was by far one of the best decisions we made. It totally transformed the space. During dining and toasts, the strung lights created an elegant look and then the dance floor lights made the dance floor come to life. So many of our guests continue to comment on how great it looked and how different it was from other weddings. Braden was easy to talk to you, responsive and continually answered any questions I had throughout the planning process.
Wedding 8/12/17
Braden and the Cincy Lighting Services staff were absolutely wonderful and my husband and I were very impressed with their professionalism and services at our wedding! Braden really listened to what we were looking for and he exceeded our expectations! The staff was extremely hard working, they were on time and everything looked absolutely beautiful. We did not have to worry about a thing. He incorporated exactly what we were looking for. We also used Cincy Lighting Services for their DJ services and Braden did an amazing job with flow and packing the dance floor. We received so many great compliments from guests asking who we used for our lighting and DJ because everyone was so impressed. The bistro lights and uplight set up made it look like it our wedding was out of a magazine. People actually told us that! Braden was really easy to work with and made our wedding run very smoothly. If we would have to do it over we would pick Braden every time, we trust him and couldn't have had a better choice for Lighting/DJ Services. Wow, amazing job.
Wedding 11/4/17
My Husband Kevin and I just recently had our wedding on August 15, 2015 at Alms Park. Since we had our reception at an outdoor park, we were told we had to purchase a lighting package. At first, we were a little hesitant to spend the money on lights; but we were so glad that we did! The park was absolutely transformed by the lighting! The bistro lights over the dance floor really set the romantic mood for the evening and the uplights throughout the venue made it look stunning once the sun went down! To our surprise, Braden (our main contact throughout the planning process) even threw in decorative pots for the uplights to sit in- free of charge!
I would definitely recommend this company to ANYONE who needs lighting for any occasion! Braden was easy to contact and really helped us choose what was best for us, the venue, and our budget. Thank you so much!!
Wedding 8/15/15
Braden and the team from Cincy Lighting Services did an excellent job providing beautiful lighting for our wedding at Alms Park. We got many compliments on the wireless setup and how pretty the lights looked in the evening. Thank you for a job well done!
Wedding 5/2/15
We worked with Cincy Lighting Services for our reception lighting and could not be more pleased. As someone who knew a little about lighting I quickly realized Cincy Lighting Services offered professional lighting and not the cheap up lights commonly offered by many other services or inexpensive DJ's. We worked with Braden who offered several ideas on how to turn a basic venue into so much more. As a former theater geak I can assure you their lighting is first class and made our wedding over the top! We used their wireless up lights and LED moving lights to light the dance floor. CLS provided complete light programming and our guest still talk about it. The lights changing color as we walked out for our first dance was awesome. Thanks again!
Wedding: 12/13/2013
WOW! Braden and his team at Cincy Lighting were simply amazing for my wedding. I cannot say enough positive words about their work for my wedding reception at the Muhlhauser Barn. Braden took the time to meet with my husband and I and took our vision and went above and beyond anything we expected. The atmosphere he created with the white string lights and changing color up-lights was simply spectacular. Every guest we greeted at the reception made mention of the lighting and how amazing the lighting and atmosphere was. Many believing the lighting was a part of the original barn structure, and not believing it was done in one day.
The attention to detail put into our event and the colored lights used to match the mood was beyond my wildest imagination. He truly took the time to not only deliver on what we asked but went above and beyond in order to make the barn all he thought it should be. I could not think of a better lighting company to work with!! And was so flexible on budget it truly amazed me!
I cannot say thank you enough to Braden and his team who risked their lives on high ladders to make my wedding day a dream come true!!
Thank you thank you thank you.

Wedding: 11/09/2013
When we first selected Krohn Conservatory for our wedding reception, we were excited about how special the night would be because the Conservatory is such a beautiful place. We hadn't thought about the need to hire a lighting company, but in a greenhouse the lighting is less than ideal for a special event. So we worked with Cincy Lighting Services to create a package that would highlight the uniqueness of the venue without breaking the bank.
Let me just say that Braden and his team at Cincy Lighting delivered lighting that completely transformed Krohn Conservatory into a DREAM location for a wedding reception! From bistro lighting in the showroom to lighting the waterfall and AMAZING LED lanterns hung throughout the atrium, Cincy Lighting made the Krohn look absolutely fantastic! We would hire them again in a heartbeat! Braden worked late into the night to install our lighting the week of our wedding, easily accommodated last minute changes, and was extremely responsive as we got down to the wire. He put our minds at ease, giving us the confidence we needed to focus on other things and enjoy the night - and boy did we!
Without question, and backed-up by overflowing compliments and rave reviews from our families and guests, we can offer the highest recommendation for Braden and his team at Cincy Lighting Services. Our night exceeded all expectations! Our photographer loved the venue and lighting, and was able to capture so much of it that we are able to relive the night and how wonderful Krohn with our photos!
Yours gratefully,
-Scott & Jenna
Wedding: 09/28/2013
As a bride, who felt she should do her due diligence in benchmarking vendors so she could ensure she got the most "bang for her buck", I can confidently say that Cincy Lighting Services is by far the best value in lighting. Braden is the ultimate professional and is extremely knowledgeable in a variety of lighting services. Not only will you be quoted a reasonable price but you can rest assured that you will receive the highest quality products and service.
A lot of couples are unaware of the impact lighting can have on a venue, inside or outside. Our wedding reception was hosted indoors but with Braden's help, a normal ballroom transformed into something much more beautiful! The color quality of the lights, the transitions of color between songs, and the custom monogram really made a difference and I couldn't have imagined working with anyone else.
In the end, not only did Cincy Lighting Services make our reception beautiful but their excellent service made the lighting one less thing for me to worry about, which is what every bride needs on the BIG day!
Wedding: 09/07/2013
Braden at Cincy Lighting Services was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were dealing with a difficult venue coordinator and Braden was exceptionally flexible and professional about taking care of our lighting needs. He came up with a solution that fit our event, budget and venue perfectly. His direction and skill added incredible ambiance to our wedding reception. Cincy Lighting Services was not only professional and extremely easy to communicate with but they were attentive to detail and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Thanks!
Wedding: 05/25/2013
Cincy Lighting was top-notch. From the very beginning Braden was very professional and accommodating showing us various lighting options and packages. Cincy Lighting is flexible and easy to work with and I thought very fair. We had an outdoor ceremony and Cincy Lighting was also able to use a wireless microphone on the groom and officiant so that guests could hear the ceremony. They offer a lot and will always get back with you if you have any questions. I highly recommend them.
Wedding: 09/29/2012
My fiance and I decided to use Cincy Lighting Services at the last minute and we were SO happy we did. They were by far one of the best vendor choices that we made and the additional cash that we decided to spend on the lighting for our reception paid off in a big way! Our wedding took place at Ault Park which we initially assumed would not need lighting but the difference that the pillar lights and archway lights made was huge. This is in addition to Braden, the main contact, being incredibly responsive, professional and helpful in talking us through the different options we could have. If we had to do it all over again we'd probably call Cincy Lighting first and go with an even larger lighting package than what we booked. Call them! The lights were worth it.
