Sunset over the MarshPosted by Tim in HDR Photography, Savannah | March 31, 2012
Photographing Savannah's Wetlands
One of the things I really love about Savannah is the diversity of locations to photographs. In a span of 5 minutes you can be photographing downtown Savannah and then a swamp spanning hundreds of acres filled with alligators and an assortment of birds. It is great! For a photographer, there isn't much more I could ask for…well, maybe there is, but I will keep those wishes to myself, haha…
One night I was walking a long a nature trail not far from Savannah. The sun was setting, the bugs were doing their best to drain me of every drop of blood and I was loving it. The scene before me was gorgeous. It was one of those sunsets where you endure the bug bites knowing that the week of scratching to follow will be worth it. The sky started it's light show and I stayed for the whole performance.
The Gardens of the Ballastone InnPosted by Tim in HDR Photography, Savannah, Savannah Historic Houses | March 29, 2012
Photographing the Ballastone Inn, Savannah
During my time in Savannah I may dare say that the Ballastone Inn, on Oglethorpe Avenue, is the most beautiful 'home' I have photographed while here. Inside and out, the Ballastone Inn is immaculately cared for. It is easy to see that when the Ballastone was being decorated and renovated that the pharse 'Only the best will do.' must have been tossed around many many times. I have photographed the Ballastone on a number of occasions and really enjoy doing so..
The Ballastone Inn has a courtyard area with a beautiful garden area. Guests to this Savannah Bed and Breakfast can enjoy calm evening out in the gardens or even elect to enjoy their breakfast in the courtyard. I know I would be eating out there every day!
If you are looking for the best in Bed and Breakfast accommodations in Savannah, check out the Ballastone Inn. It may not be the cheapest place in town to rest your head for the night…but isn't that kind of the point? Highly recommended!
Another Savannah Photo AdventurePosted by Tim in HDR Photography, Historic District, Savannah | March 28, 2012
Backstage at the Lucas Theatre
Today I had an opportunity to photograph the inside of the Lucas Theatre here in Savannah Georgia. First off, I want to thank the gang at the Lucas Theatre for allowing me access to areas the tours were not allowed. I also want to thank my friend Jessica for helping to arrange this. Without them I wouldn't have been able to spend the time I did inside taking some kick ass photographs.
This area is backstage at the Lucas Theatre. There are all sorts of ropes and pulleys I could never make sense of along this wall. I have always wondered what a real theatre looked like behind the curtain…my experience on stage is limited to Mary Poppins in 4th grade.
Over the next few weeks I will leak a few photos of the Lucas Theatre here and there. I took some killer photos of the interior. I can't wait to share them!
The Pier on TybeePosted by Tim in Black and White, Savannah, Tybee Island | March 27, 2012
Photographing the Pier on Tybee Island
Tybee Island is a great place for photographers. Not only can you make a living photographing weddings there like my friend Shannon but it also has some incredible landscapes and ocean views. It is still my favorite place to photograph the sunrise…
When photographing something as bare as a beach you should really try to find something to anchor the foreground of your photograph too. You just need something there. Or, you can find lines to help add definition to your photograph. That is what I did with the Pier on Tybee Beach. I really like how the pillars of the pier form a path for your eyes to follow…all the way 'til the end. In February, there were 3 days when the sun rose perfectly symetrical with the opening at the end of the pier. I waited months to get that photograph. I went all three mornings and all three mornings there was no real sunrise due to the clouds. It was one time I was cursing the clouds in my photograph. So…I guess there is always next year.
Warren Square WalkwayPosted by Tim in Savannah, Warren Square | March 27, 2012
Sidewalks in Savannah
There is something about the pathways in Savannah that allow you to escape to a time when horses were the means of transportation and when women didn't smell as good as they do now ( I am guessing, ha). Many of the walkways, especially in the Squares that dot the Historic District have large oak trees with Spanish Moss hanging freely. It is easy to imagine that you're back in the 1800′s. The horse drawn carriages and historic houses/buildings help with that mental image. I guess this is part of Savannah's charm.
The main sidewalks in the city offer little of this old-time' charm. Usually it is touristy (is that a word) shops accompanied by the smell of horse piss. You have to get off the beaten path a bit to find these 'trails'. Try the eastern part of town. Washington Square and Warren Square (pictured below) are two of my favorites.
The Lucas Theatre in SavannahPosted by Tim in HDR Photography, Reynold's Square, Savannah | March 26, 2012
Photographing the Lucas Theatre in Savannah
The Lucas Theatre, in Savannah Georgia, is a historic theatre on Abercorn Street in Savannah Georgia. With its illuminated sign, it is a great place to photograph after the sun goes down. Just make sure you have a tripod!
I took this photograph a few months ago while wondering the streets of Savannah at night. I haven't put it up, but now I have a reason to…what is that reason? Well, I guess you will have to wait and see, but I can promise it will be all kinds of awesome!
The Independent Presbyterian Church on Bull StreetPosted by Tim in Chippewa Square, HDR Photography, Savannah | March 19, 2012
Photographing the Independent Presbyterian Church
A few weeks back I was walking on the streets of Savannah looking for my next good photograph. I have to tell you…it is tough! I know I have said it before but it is worth repeating. When you make your living photographing a city that millions of people photograph every year it is a lot of work to come up with new photographs that nobody has taken before. And if I am not taking unique and high quality photographs of Savannah then I am no different than Tourist Bob. So, I am always on the look-out for new subjects and compositions in Savannah. This is a new one I found.
In the background you can see the steeple of the Independent Presbyterian Church on Bull Street. You may remember it from this photograph of the Independent Presbyterian Church. You may also remember this church from the opening scene in Forrest Gump. The feather that is floating during the opening sequence floats by this steeple.
Sunset at Grand Oaks, Savannah GeorgiaPosted by Tim in Grand Oaks, HDR Photography, Landscape Photography, Savannah | March 19, 2012
Photographing the Sunset near Savannah Georgia
Sunset is the perfect time to photograph landscapes..for me anyways. I don't have to get up early, the light is beautiful, and once I am finished I get to go home and eat dinner. What more can you ask for?!
I have talked about it many times before. How simply photographing outdoors close to sunrise and sunset will instantly improve your landscape photography. And I cannot emphasize how important it is. In addition to the soft light that falls all around you, the colors cannot be beat. Far and away, my sunset and sunrise photographs are the most popular on my website. So, it seems that I am not alone in my love for these beautiful photographs.
Photographing Grand Oaks
Grand Oaks is a beautiful community. The other night you may have checked out my photograph of sunset from Grand Oaks. Well, here is a different photograph of the sunset at Grand Oaks. I love the colors in these photographs. The blues and oranges work together really well.
Leprechaun Car in SavannahPosted by Tim in Savannah | March 19, 2012
Photographing the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Savannah
Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day in Savannah..well, everywhere else too I guess. But, in Savannah, St. Patrick's Day takes on a whole new meaning. With a lot of people in Savannah for the parade, the beer, the fun and the outrageous, Savannah is home to the largest St. Patrick's Day celebration in the world. (According to Savannah, Ha)
Yukon Cornelius was a Leprechaun?
This car was one of 350 entries in the Savannah St. Patrick's Day Parade. Aside from the fact it was a green car, what caught my attention were those little dolls on the wheel wells. They look just like Yukon Cornelius from the old Rudolph cartoon. Anyways….
River Street Sweets at NightPosted by Tim in Black and White, River Street, Savannah | March 17, 2012
Photographing River Street at Night
The other night my photo friend Megan and I went down to River Street here in Savannah to do some night photography. I took a break from shooting all HDR to play around with some long exposure photography. One of the great things that can happen with long exposure is that people will not appear in your photo…if the exposure is long enough and they don't stand in the same place for too long.
Making People Disappear
While this photo was being made about 40 people walked in front of the camera…but none of them showed up. How is this possible?! Well, when you are photographing at night your shutter is left open for a long period of time to collect all of the light the camera needs to take the photo. So, when people walk in front of the camera, unless they stay in one spot they do not bounce enough light back to the camera for them to be picked up. Hence, they don't even appear.
To make this technique even more effective use the lowest ISO and smallest aperture you can. I photograph River Street Sweets in Savannah at ISO 100 and f22. The shutter was open for 20 seconds.

Comment posted No Tiree Array campaigners play the Trump card by robtrythall.
Nice to hear that Webcraft thinks that NTA " may well
have a case " but NTA has been addressing the issues of environmental and economic damage arising from Scot Govt off shore windfarm proposals,long before D Trump realised there was an issue here.
With respect to Webcraft, NTA is not linking itself to D Trump .
NTA might suggest that Webcraft'S use of word like " "obnoxious " and " claptrap" would suggest that Webcraft may be intolerant of any opinion contrary to his own.
The issues Trump refers to merit national debate . NTA has been asking for that debate. Scotland requires that debate.

Dont be silly.
Brian M, was only this morning was advised by me, of your perspective of "Think Scotland".
He was unaware ,up to then, of the " For Argyll exchanges
Basis this time frame BM cannot be be guilty of your accusation re getting 'so many of his centre-right free marketeering colleagues to give u the old 'thumbs down'.
Anyway , As I said at the outset, what has it to do with the issues raised in the article.
I have been contacted by the Guardian re my article. Does the Guardian create similar problems for you?
- No Tiree Array campaigner invited to write for Think Scotland
Must be the air on Tiree,,or the wind, 'cos I never knew Think Scotland was a Tory paper. I am quite sure Basking Sharks don't know either, and don't care.
In that respect I must be confessional. I have never, in my life, voted Tory. On the same confessional theme I have never jumped into bed with anyone because they are 'on my side'. In fact I think it is physically quite difficult to jump into bed with someone, if that someone is on the 'same side'.
I was a child of the 60's I was never a fan of the bouffant. All that hairspray!! And as for a dalliance..just think about the morning afterwards ..please … lets not go there!
Your political perspective is naïve. If one is a critic of government policy "working from within" may work if the government concerned is demonstrably willing to listen, engage and effectively respond. There is no evidence to suggest the current Scottish Government is willing to do so, on the contrary the evidence suggests it becoming more strident and doctrinaire.
- No Tiree Array on basking sharks, night time visuals and divergent wind subsidy regimes between Scotland and Westminster
SPR's persistent refusal suggests the legislation, and its lack of any meaning sanctions, may not be fit for purpose.
SPR's consistent lack of response,in the past, provoked NTA into a substantive presentation, in Feb this year to both SG and MS re SPR's possible breach of its public information obligations to the process.
That submission resulted in an immediate volte-face by SPR. The Array information page on SPR's website was updated for the first time in 9 months. It included presentation of SPR's day-time visualisations which had last been seen 9 months earlier, on a" now you see 'em..now you dont" basis.
Let NTA worry about its strategy,but thanks for your concern.
As for leaving or staying in Tiree if the Array goes ahead, I cant speak for Karl, but after my last medical MOT, on an actuarial basis,there is a grave danger(no pun intended)I wont be around if it was to go ahead.
- Now see for yourself: For Argyll challenges anyone to say SPR plans for Argyll Array at Tiree are acceptable
This is very subjective
Of course there are certain houses in specific spots on Tiree that will have a very limited view of the Array . Of course any house at the bottom of one of Tiree's 3 small hills (145m)will have a limited view of the proposed Array (200m) .
From my own house, from the ground floor I will see only the tops of the closer turbines, but from my upstairs, I will will see a considerable portion of the total Array.
Your "view" can be put in its true Tiree visual perspective if any reader goes to the 'Visualisations' page of the NTA w/site and clicks on the OBAN TIMES VIDEO This was made incorporating the SPR visualisations that SPR have now posted on their w/site.
The visual evidence of the negative visual impact of the proposed Array is all there to see,and might explain why it has taken 11 attritional months to get SPR to produce these what they could have done 11 moths ago
And SPR's reason for this 11 months refusal
was quote " It's not consumer friendly to put such large files on line"unquote
Maybe SPR should let the consumer judge what is unfriendly .
- Marine Scotland identifies 15 new Scottish sea areas for offshore wind
There is nothing substantively new in this report than was not in the post adoption report March 2011.
Reminding the Renewables Industry at the EWEA conference in Amsterdam was hardly co-incidental, coming as it did in the week that the host nation's government announced a slow down in off shore development, due to its cost, and the current international economic crisis.
It's a wake up call. The entire WC Scotland, one of the world's s most stunning marine environments is up for grabs, and Scottish Government is the pimp (that is not an OTT reaction).
The mantra of self-justification by Govt spokesmen ,is becoming increasingly vacuous, eg nonsense like " reindustrialisation of Scotland's communities" What is Lochhead talking about? If he only looks at his own windfarm development maps, he will understand that most of the impacted communities were never industrialised.
In a similar vein Alex S recently alluded to that Kenneth McKELLAR favourite "The Song of the Clyde" and its line "…But from Glasgow to Greenock, in towns on each side,
The hammers ding-dong is the song of the Clyde" .
Wonderful, romantic, evocative stuff, but in the recently published(NOV 2011)" Wind in our Sails- The coming of Europe's offshore wind energy industry"( a report by the European Wind Energy Association), hammers ding-donging on the Clyde, let alone the WC of Scotland,does not get a mention!!
This nonsense aside, what is lost in this debate, to the politicians delight,is the subsidy costs faced by Scottish Taxpayers to finance SNP policy whereby Scotland will generate 100% more than its electricity requirements. This extra production is for export to make Scotland the Saudi Arabia of renewables(SNP Manifesto).
Where is the research to support this business plan? How is the export pricing mechanism going to work. No-Tiree-Array (NTA) has asked Alex Salmond this,and many other re related questions. NTA still awaits his reply.

Explore a thriving center of breathtaking thermal activity and traditional Maori culture during this scenic, full-day visit to the historic spa town of Rotorua.
Depart the pier for the drive south from the early-1900s town of Tauranga to Te Puke, the world's largest kiwifruit growing region. Upon arrival in Rotorua, a visit will be made to the Agrodome to watch the country's best-trained champion rams parade on stage, and a sheep-shearing demonstration. The highly-trained sheep dogs will finish the show with a display of sheep mustering.
Drive past the Rotorua lakefront where you may see a variety of waterfowl, including ducks and graceful black swans as well as several local landmarks before arriving . the Skyline Gondola terminal. Here, you'll embark one of the aerial gondolas for an awesome ride up the side of Mount Ngongotaha, enjoying panoramic vistas of Lake Rotorua, the city and surrounding areas. Arriving at the top of the mountain, the Skyline Restaurant with its unparalleled views is where you'll be treated to a delicious buffet lunch. During lunch, a local Maori "Kapa Haka" group will entertain you by performing many traditional action songs, including the "haka," a fierce, challenging dance which is accompanied by a chant.
After lunch visit Te Puia, the home to the internationally renowned spouting Pohutu geyser and boasts silica terraces, pools of boiling mud and dramatic steams vents but best of all, your guide is a Maori who is keen to share the fascinating local lore and legends of this wonderful country. You will then view the reserve's fascinating re-creation of an early Maori village, and also have time to purchase souvenirs in the gift shop, including traditional Maori carvings.
At Te Puia's Maori Arts & Crafts Institute, where for the past 45 years, visitors have enjoyed this unique journey into the Maori's rich heritage. Their mission is all about preserving the ancient skills and rich culture of the Maori, and to that end, young people from across New Zealand are selected as apprentices. Here, the students learn skills ranging from carving to weaving, along with creating flax skirts and patterned bodices, and you will see all this at close hand. A strong sulfur smell, a product of the intense thermal activity, will fill the air. Remember to bring your cameras on this exciting geothermal experience.

Rated 94 Points by Robert Parker personally, this budget price Aussie Shiraz is made by Rhône Valley icon Michel Chapoutier at his new Domaine Tournon project, located in the cooler climate areas of Victoria. Chapoutier's explicit goal is to produce wines that combine the virtues of pure Australian fruit, with a strong component of traditional French savoir-faire. All grapes are destemmed, followed by fermentation in concrete vats or stainless steel tanks. The grapes also receive 2-3 weeks maceration on the skins in order to extract smoother tannins and finer fruit. Wines are aged in tank a full 12 months before bottling, and are ready to drink upon release.--Ben Giliberti
"Although these wines are normally reviewed by my colleagues David Schildknect in his Languedoc-Roussillon and Alsace reports and Lisa Perrotti-Brown in her reviews of Australian wines, I tasted them during my visit with Chapoutier, so I will include them in this report as they are of high quality and merit attention." --94 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Christopher - 'Blue Genes'
by Christopher Lukas
Some people are disturbed most by events that are unexpected.
For me, it has always been the half-awaited ones that carry the blow: the semi-conscious fears that lurk behind closed eyes, the halfdropped pair of shoes, the "what ifs..."
June 5, 1997, 11 p.m.
Susan and I return home from a party. In an unusual show of activity, our answering machine has had eleven hang-ups and one message -- from Linda, my sister-in-law.
"Christopher," she says, "Can you call me, please."
Usually, no one except strangers call me "Christopher," but maybe Linda is echoing my brother, who sometimes calls me by my full name as a joke.
I make a mental note to call her tomorrow; it's too late tonight. I figure that she's probably planning a publication party for Tony, who has just finished his latest book, nine years in the writing.
The book before this one—Common Ground—resulted in his second Pulitzer Prize, and dozens of other awards. One reporter called my brother, "the best journalist of our generation." Another, "The patron saint of contemporary reporters." He has won numerous accolades for his reporting for the New York Times; has received honorary degrees for his deep analysis of crucial episodes in recent American history; been wined and dined by literati and academics alike. He is, in short, one of those remarkable men whose work received enormous respect and attention.
But Tony is not sure that the new book, a huge volume called, Big Trouble, is up to previous works. It's due out in a month or so, and we'll all have to wait.
While I'm at the closet, taking off my shoes, the phone rings again. Susan is near and she answers.
In the wake of a family suicide, there is sorrow, guilt, despair—and anger. My reaction to my brother's death was no different; in fact, because of the difficult relationship we had had, it may have been worse."
"Hello." A pause. "How?" Her voice is electric, alarmed. I recognize a disaster in the making.
I come around the corner of the closet, a shoe in one hand, the other still on my foot.
She looks at me, the phone up to her ear, shaking her head, a look of terror on her face."What is it?" I ask, already feeling the pain begin. "Tony killed himself," she says. I scream and throw the undropped shoe at the far wall.
Most brothers have sibling rivalry problems, interrupted by close bonding, but Tony and I always seemed to have great difficulty in finding common ground. The history of our family is partly responsible, a history full of selfdestructive events.
In the wake of a family suicide, there is sorrow, guilt, despair—and anger. My reaction to my brother's death was no different; in fact, because of the difficult relationship we had had, it may have been worse. During the first months after Tony's death, I viewed my life with him through the prism of anger. Why did he do this to me and to his family? If there had been good times in our years together, I didn't allow myself to remember them. But, gradually, the truth seeped in: there was a whole store of other memories which I was hiding. I needed to make an effort to dredge up those experiences -- the ones which had provided pleasure and comfort. To put a picture of our relationship in some kind of balance, if I could.
So, what would happen if I stopped thinking about all the rage I felt for the way Tony had died and for the slights I had felt? What might occur if I recalled how much we had shared, what burdens we had lifted together, how we had supported each other. What then? I began writing about my family two weeks after my brother's death. At first, I could put down only a few thoughts about him, mostly about my anger and sorrow, but as the weeks and months went by, memories came—long ago events that had been forgotten. Time passed; I would come back to the computer, put down new recollections. About us. About our relationship. I found memories of other family members, of the distant past, of things I thought had been obliterated forever. The mind is tricky: it brings back even the most distant feelings and events just when you think they have left you alone, left you in peace.
Today, more than a decade after Tony's death, I am still writing. But, my idea of who my family and my brother were has changed over these years. The perception of who I was—and who I am—has also changed. So I keep writing. Trying to get it right.
Conflating the present with the past is an old theme of philosophers. The idea of all chairs, said the philosopher William James, is present in the image of any particular chair. So, any particular friend's essence is distilled by all the friends one has had.
And so it is with brothers. They are never what they appear to be to others, or even to oneself. Tony is a combination of past and present; of what he was and how I see him today.
But that is true of me as well. I am not merely the bald head in the mirror, the tired knees and the naps in the afternoon. I am the 16 year old with an enormous appetite; the 22 year old having his first real love affair; the 33 year old looking down at his first child.
Tony and I are brothers across the stroboscopic echoes of the past dissolving across black interludes into the next image, and the next, and the next, until all vestige of pure vision is destroyed. All that is left is memory, and we know how faulty that can be. Who Tony was is forever blurred by who I was and how I remember who I thought Tony was. Yes, we are brothers in fact, in memory, and in wish, but he is dead, and I am alive—left to dwell on the questions, and to seek the answers.
There were questions of great importance to me: Would I, too, end up killing myself? Was the legacy of self-destruction I would discover in my family too great for me to survive? If so, when would the pendulum swing? And, if it never did, why not? How could I—almost alone among my family—escape?
To answer these questions, I needed to go back and delve more deeply into my family and explore my relationship with Tony. This is a story of two brothers in a particular family at a particular time in the history of that family. If, often, the tale appears to be as much about my parents and grandparents—my emotions, my life, and my memories—as it is about my brother, it is because it is very much a story about relationships. The relationship my father had to my mother; the relationship of my mother to her parents. Mine with Tony, Tony's with those other people.
Beyond that, it is also a book about coming to terms with the suicide of a brother—an event I had written about previously when it happened to other people, but never before experienced for myself.
What do I really know about the past? What do any of us know? Who were these characters; what led up to the deaths in my family. In truth, I was woefully ignorant—and, to be honest, fearful of finding out.

I bought this product as a hedge against stock market insecurities and found the product to be more than I expected. The condition is exceptional and the resale should remain high. My greatest impression came from the initial online purchase and the service after the sale. The coins came in a nice gift box and well insulated and packaged. Shipping was fast and came much sooner than the specified time it was promised.
Comments about 2013 1 oz Gold Austrian Philharmonic:
Beautiful coins. I have ordered various types of gold coins, but the 2 most impressive are THESE and the Canadian Maple Leaf Coins. Also, these are investment grade coins and nontaxable for import in some countries, whereas the American Eagle and Kugerand do not qualify.

Leaf Print Dress 17 19
Best dress for me My eye was caught by the style of this dress in the catalog. I ordered my size and when it came I didn't expect it to fit as well as it did. I love the texture of the fabric. It has a bit of body or crispness to it yet drapes well. It's comfortable. I am very pleased with the cut and overall fit. I always have trouble buying dresses due to length or cut and I love Travelsmith dresses because they are true to size. I am 5'8" and no long a young woman so I like dresses that are just above the knee and I was very pleased with the length. March 24, 2010
Unexpected surprise Very stylish and tailored. Love the stretch twill. The fit is very flattering. A good price for a simple sheath. July 13, 2010
Versatile dress! Well made, slimming. Add colors to it, such as a red shrug. Fabric is stretchy - go a size smaller! Hem is long, but can be easily shortened. May 8, 2011
Shoddy Workmanship The dress fit beautifully but was poorly put together. One of the seams was open and torn. June 7, 2011
Really is Best Purchase Ever! The example title hit it on the nose! Thank you to all the other reviewers who said great things about this dress: they were all true and more! I ADORE it. It fits perfectly, makes me look good (always a plus! ;), fabric has a rich, solid feeling and definitely Does Not Wrinkle. It's a dream!!! I am SO glad I bought it!! August 13, 2013
comfortable and attractive A comfortable weight, drapes well, pretty colors., Meant to fit someone with squarer shoulders than mine. But I had it altered and wear it often. July 12, 2013
Great value as a travel dress! I got the black and white print -- works well for business and dresses up for evening. I took it on a 3-week trip to Africa and it held up amazingly well. You can ball it up and stuff it in your suitcase, sleep in it, whatever -- looks great. Substantial fabric and stays remarkably clean. The print is lively enough that you don't need to worry about a lot of accessorizing. I don't generally write reviews, but this is a great value as a travel dress! April 25, 2012
Very nice dress I now own this dress in both prints. The fabric is excellent, substantial and stretchy. The dress fits me perfectly and can be dressed up with pearls or down with flip flops and I have done both. My only complaint is that one dress has a twisted facing, and the other has some pucker along the zipper. This dress is made in America and I want to purchase American. I know how to sew and I know: America, we can do better! April 12, 2012

Berlin Packaging acquires United States Container Corporation
Berlin Packaging, full-service supplier of plastic, glass, and metal containers and closures, has announced the acquisition of United States Container Corporation (USCC), a California-based distributor of industrial and rigid packaging to increase Berlin's presence in California and Arizona markets.
With the integration of USCC personnel and operations over the next few months, Berlin Packaging will have over 90 sales and warehouse locations across North America, more than 120 packaging consultants and sales managers, and annual revenues approaching $800 million and growing rapidly. Benefits for Berlin Packaging customers and suppliers include: broader and deeper Berlin Packaging teams in the Los Angeles, San Francisco and Phoenix areas; four new warehouses; a strengthened industrial packaging portfolio including drums, pails and industrial bulk containers; easy online access to stock packaging via Sunburst Bottle, a USCC business unit that will now be partnered with Berlin Packaging's Freund Container & Supply division; revenue growth and streamlined processes for suppliers. USCC customers will also gain the benefit of Berlin Packaging's nationwide geographic coverage; access to specialty offerings including Qorpak lab supplies, Dangerous Goods shipping systems, and Freund Container in-stock packaging and industrial supplies; and custom packaging and graphic design, global sourcing, capital lending, and consulting services provided by Berlin Packaging at no charge in exchange for new packaging business.The transaction marks Berlin Packaging's fourth acquisition since the purchase of Pittsburgh-based All-Pak, Inc., in March 2010. The company acquired Chicago-based Continental Packaging Solutions in December 2010 and Connecticut-based Lerman Container in May 2012. "Every acquisition we have made has had the same objectives: to make Berlin Packaging into a stronger supplier and to increase our geographic footprint so that even more customers have access to our solutions and services," said Andrew T. Berlin, Chairman and CEO of Berlin Packaging. "The acquisition of USCC fits perfectly into our strategy and will yield great returns for customers, suppliers, and employees alike. We're better positioned than ever to help customers accelerate business growth by optimizing their packaging strategies."

"Testing" scholars with riddles-and God's vindication of the divine wisdom given to his servant-is at least as old as King Solomon (1 Kings 10:1; elsewhere, for example, Ep. Arist. 187-291). In this context, however, the intent is more malicious (compare 16:1; 19:3), related to that of the supreme tempter (4:1).
Some Pharisees ask a question they had probably practiced before, since their own teachers debated among themselves which commandment was the greatest. Although all commandments were equally weighty in one sense (see comment on 5:19), rabbis had to distinguish between "light" and "heavy" commandments in practice (see comment on 23:23).
Jesus' view does not contrast dramatically with views held by his contemporaries. In the late first century Rabbi Akiba regarded love of neighbor in Leviticus 19:18 as the greatest commandment in the law (Gen. Rab. 24:7; Vermes 1993:42); while this is not where Jesus ranks it, it is close. Other Jewish teachers also conjoined love of God with love of neighbor (Test. Iss. 5:2; 7:6; Test. Dan 5:3; Philo Decal. 108-10). Following the Jewish interpretive principle gezerah sawah, it was natural to link two commandments on the basis of the common opening Hebrew word we'ahabta ("you shall love"; Diezinger 1978; Flusser 1988:479).
Yet Jesus' combination of the two as the greatest commandments, which exercised an authoritative influence on subsequent Christian formulations (including Paul's frequent triad of virtues with love as the greatest-1 Cor 13:13), is distinctive (see Vermes 1993:43). Amid the multiplicity of proposals concerning the greatest commandment in antiquity, only Jesus wielded the moral authority among his followers to focus their ethics so profoundly on a single theme (compare Meier 1980:257). Thence comes the early Christian "law of love" (as in Rom 13:8-10; Gal 5:14; Jas 2:8; Jn 13:34-35; compare Manson 1963:80).
The first passage Jesus cites in fact portrays the love of God as a summary of the law (Deut 6:1-7); one who loved God would fulfill the whole Torah (Deut 5:29). This passage about loving God was the central and best-known text of Judaism, the Shema (Sema`). Likewise, the command to love one's neighbor as oneself (Lev 19:18; compare Lev 19:34; Mt 5:43; Rom 13:9) expresses a general principle, though its original context applied it to a more specific situation. As in 7:12, Matthew reminds us that these commandments epitomize all the commandments in the Bible.
If left to ourselves, we tend to grasp for power rather than seeking to serve, and this can apply even to the ways we interpret the Bible. In contrast to some modern readings, Jesus here assumes rather than commands self-love (so also Piper 1977; Gundry 1982:449). Thus he elsewhere emphasizes that true love for neighbor is demonstrated beyond one's own circle of favored people (5:43-47; Lk 10:29-37); some texts in Scripture even warn us against self-centered love (2 Tim 3:2; Paul here warns against selfishness, however, rather than advocating masochism or self-punishment, which is also self-centered). But while Scripture summons us to love that is other-directed, it also assumes that all of us-including Christians-need other people's love. Perhaps as we Christians learn to love and affirm one another better (for example, Prov 12:18; 16:24; Eph 4:29), especially the most wounded and vulnerable among us, we will not require as much talk about self-love. Until we learn to behave that biblically, however, it is difficult to blame broken people who desperately try to affirm themselves when no one else will.

Serves six.
Lemongrass adds a wonderful fragrance to this dish. To prepare it, trim off the tops and enough of the bottoms that you no longer see a woody core and then remove the tough outer leaves. Thinly slice the remaining light-green stalks crosswise and then finely chop them.
In a small bowl, combine the turmeric, ginger, coriander, cayenne, and 1 tsp. salt. Rub all over the chicken legs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
Prepare a gas grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Grill the legs until they begin to brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side (watch carefully for flare-ups). Set aside.
Prepare the grill for indirect grilling. In an 8-quart heavy-duty pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and stir for 1 minute. Add the lemongrass and stir for 1 minute. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the curry paste until the vegetables are evenly coated. Add the broth, fish sauce, and sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
Nestle the chicken legs into the braising liquid. Set the pot on the grill over the cool zone. Cover the pot, close the grill lid, and cook until the legs are tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a tray.
Pour the braising liquid into a heatproof vessel, such as a Pyrex measuring cup, and let sit until the fat rises to the top. Skim off and discard the fat.
Prepare the grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Strain enough of the braising liquid to yield 1 cup and boil over medium heat in a small saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup glaze, about 15 minutes. (Return the strained solids to the remaining cooking liquid).
Brush some of the glaze over one side of each chicken leg and grill glazed side down until the glaze begins to color, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush the other side of the legs with glaze and flip them over—the skin may stick to the grill a bit, so gently pry up any stuck areas before you flip. Grill until browned on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes.
To serve, reheat the remaining cooking liquid if necessary and season to taste with salt. Put some rice in each of 6 serving bowls, lean a leg against the rice, and ladle in some of the cooking liquid.
You can make this dish through the braising step the day before serving. Just cool and wrap the chicken and braising liquid separately. Refrigerate overnight and glaze the next day. To spread out the work even more, you can season the chicken the day before you braise.
To use a charcoal grill: To sear the chicken, build a medium-heat fire: Ignite about 5 quarts of charcoal (80 to 100 briquettes), using either a chimney starter or an electric starter. When the charcoal is burning well, spread it out over the surface of the charcoal grate and put the cooking grate in place. Let the charcoal burn down until it's coated with gray ash. To test the temperature, hold your hand about two inches above the cooking grate; when you can hold your hand there for 3 to 4 seconds (a medium-heat fire), you're ready to sear the chicken.
After searing, divide the coals evenly, banking them against two sides of the grill (use long-handled tongs to move the coals). Put the cooking grate in place; if your cooking grate has hinged sections, position them over the charcoal. Place an oven thermometer on the grate over the cooler area, close the lid, and let the coals burn until the thermometer reads about 350ºF. When ready, place the pot over the cool zone and braise as directed above. Check the thermometer every 20 minutes, replenishing the charcoal as necessary to keep the temperature between 325ºF and 375ºF. If the coals are still burning well, you can simply add a handful of unlit coals on top. Otherwise, you'll need to add lit coals.
To glaze the chicken, build a second medium-heat fire just as you did in the searing step. Continue with the glazing, as directed in the recipe.

8/12/2009Loved the flavors. Especially loved being able to prepare it ahead and finish on the grill just before serving. AND it was great at room temp, so it is a great dish for easy summer entertaining. I was pressed for time in the initial cooking and after allowing 24 hours between applying the rub and the first heat, rather than firing up the Weber, I seared the legs on my cast iron grill pan and then braised in the oven at 300 degrees for an hour. That was in the morning. In the evening I finished them on the charcoal. It was fabulous and a great hit with all!
by duckyfufu,
8/1/2009This grill-braise recipe is one of the best from the series. The flavors were wonderful, and the grilling really added to the flavor in the end. This one's a keeper! I served with basmati rice with thai basil on the side, it was perfect with the chicken and the sauce.
by fcar,
7/22/2009I am giving this more stars for flavor. But it did not have at least to my family the b-b-que flavor we were looking for (the skin did stick to grill) Also cook this in the oven/stovetop doesnt make sense to cook on the grill. If you are looking for this to taste like grilled chicken it doent but the flavors were good just not b-b-que worthy.
by TABurr,
6/3/2009My wife and I made this last weekend. We live in Switzerland, and refilling propane tanks here is a real pain, so we did the braising in the oven at 300 F for a little less than an hour.
We served the chicken with long beans sauteed with gralic, and coconut rice (rice made in a rice cooker with about 3:1 water:coconut milk).
We thought we made enough to have leftovers, but we were wrong. This is the best chicken dish we have ever made, and we just couldn't stop eating it!
by NDbaker,
6/1/2009I made this dish this weekend, and my husband and I loved it. The flavors are complex, yet somehow delicate. I did cheat and braised the dish in my oven because my gas grill doesn't allow for indirect cooking. This would be a good dish to serve to guests, because, although there are quite a few steps to this recipe, you can space them out and have little work left to do when your company arrives.

mutations in the TNFRSF11B gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.[1]Juvenile Paget disease is a very rare condition that affects bone growth. This condition causes bones to be abnormally large, misshapen, and easily broken (fractured). Signs and symptoms usually appear in infancy or early childhood. As bones grow, they become weaker and more deformed. This condition affects the entire skeleton, resulting in widespread bone and joint pain. The bones of the skull tend to grow unusually large and thick, which can lead to hearing loss. The condition also affects bones of the spine (vertebrae), leading to abnormal curvature of the spine. Additionally, weight-bearing long bones in the legs tend to bow and fracture easily, which can interfere with standing and walking. Juvenile Paget disease is caused by

Spread the Truth this Easter
from Karisa Schlehr Mar 05, 2009 Category: Ligonier ResourcesIf it is true that the cross is of central importance to biblical Christianity, it seems that it is essential for Christians to have some understanding of its meaning in biblical terms. That would be true in any generation, but it's particularly necessary in this one. I doubt there has been a period in the two thousand years of Christian history when the significance, the centrality, and even the necessity of the cross have been more controversial than now.

Does the Center Hold?
from Keith Mathison Feb 25, 2009 Category: ArticlesIf I have heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times: "A Calvinist evangelist? Isn't that an oxymoron? Calvinism undermines evangelism." This accusation has been repeated so many times that few make the effort to argue it. Instead, it is simply assumed. Never mind that some of the church's greatest evangelists have been Calvinists. One need only be reminded of men such as George Whitefield, David Brainerd, or "the father of modern missions," William Carey. "Yes," we are told, "these men were great evangelists and Calvinists, but that is because they were inconsistent." But is this true? Keep Reading

Black or Blue?
Early mornings, a work meeting in the burbs, cold morning runs, and not getting enough sleep have all left me drained this week. Getting out of my warm and cozy bed felt like torture this morning and I was quite thankful that my training plan only called for a short 4 mile recovery run with minimal speed work. I'm pretty sure anything longer would have been a mental struggle.
Thankfully today is Friday (yay!) and even though I have a somewhat busy weekend ahead of me, I'm looking forward to unwinding, unplugging, and relaxing :).
Anyway, I'm going to keep today's post short and sweet and ask all of you guys for advice. My new Adrenaline 12′s came in the mail earlier this week and I can't decide which color shoelace to use.
What do you guys think?
Black or blue?
Have a great weekend!

When TAP Pharmaceutical Products Inc.'s national account executive Janice Swirski offered Joseph Gerstein, MD, an administrator with Tufts Health Plan, a $40,000 "unrestricted educational grant" to put TAP's drug Lupron on Tufts' formulary — she picked the wrong doctor for a bribe. For years, Gerstein has written newsletters deriding pharma marketing practices. But TAP had gone too far. Gerstein reported the incident to federal prosecutors, and helped them build a case that resulted in the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history — $875 million, according to the Boston Globe. (Though it settled in October, Lake Forest, Ill.-based TAP denied many of the government's allegations.) Six TAP top managers were also indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly offering doctors kickbacks and bribes.
The case is the most dramatic example of the recent government crackdown on illegal pharmaceutical marketing tactics. While the TAP case was prosecuted under federal anti-kickback laws, which apply to drugs and devices reimbursed by government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, it nevertheless has ramifications for the entire medical community, including physicians and CME providers, as well as drug companies.
To help the medical community understand the implications of the TAP case and the intensifying government scrutiny of pharma practices, the Health Care Compliance Association held an audioconference in December. Presenters included federal prosecutors, and pharma company representatives, who clarified they were speaking for themselves, not on behalf of their clients or employers. They stressed that the case is a wake-up call for the industry. "We already knew we couldn't bribe doctors to prescribe, offer phony grants as rewards, or pay for doctors' attendance at conferences based on their volume of prescribing," said Ann Lewis, senior corporate counsel, Pfizer Inc., New York. "Regardless of whether the TAP allegations are true, we learned nothing we didn't already know. But we can expect closer scrutiny of actions from the government and potential whistle-blowers."
CME providers who have complained long and loud about the unethical practices of some reps should applaud the presenters' recommendations:
Just Say No — Physicians and pharma reps need ongoing training in ethical and legal guidelines regarding inducements such as gifts and grants;
Adhere to AMA Rules — All players should abide by the American Medical Association's ethical guidelines on gifts to physicians;
Fund Bona Fide, Not Bogus, Programs — Pharma firms should pay for legitimate educational programs or physician consulting services — not use funding to bribe or reward doctors;
Get the Good Housekeeping Seal — Pharma-funded educational events that are accredited by the CME community may be at lower risk for investigation.
CME — Not a Shield for Improper Inducements
While pharma support of education is valid and CME accreditation affords programs a certain prima facie legitimacy, you cannot use CME as a shield against improper inducements, said Lewis, in an interview after the conference. "It is in the interests of CME providers to adhere to the highest standards. Nothing makes a CME provider look more legitimate than a refusal to be a mouthpiece for a company. CME providers who are willing to 'wink-wink, nod-nod' with companies in terms of program content debase the entire field of activity." She advises organizations to disclose funding sources, even for promotional activities, just as the Accreditation Council for CME stipulates that providers disclose commercial support of accredited programs.
Dine 'n' Dash Raises Red Flags
As for promotional activities, prosecutors said they are looking for a "culture to defraud," rather than isolated cases of misconduct. "It's not illegal to hope for sales. It's illegal to pay for them," said Jim Sheehan, assistant U.S. attorney, eastern district of Pennsylvania. "The sales rep who brings pizza to the [medical] staff is not someone you want to haul off to the grand jury. That goes under the category of hope. But a corporate culture that allows dine 'n' dash events, and gas 'n' go, can lead to problems. Once you feed [physicians], and give them gas for their cars, it can be hard for sales reps to distinguish between that and the next thing the doctor asks for, such as a dinner and a $250 consulting fee just for showing up. Where do you draw the line as an organization? Guidelines have to be very clear." Added Lewis, "We need to create buy-in to the anti-kickback laws and an enthusiastically law-abiding sales force."
Crackdown Continues
The Office of the Inspector General is developing a voluntary guidance for pharmaceutical companies, which will be ready for comment in the spring. Speakers stressed that the government has made enforcement of pharmaceutical industry regulation its top priority, and they expect the scrutiny to last for the next three to five years.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and I am very happy with the result! The Ecru paper is very high quality and durable, and the thermography is so beautiful! I did my research by ordering a few samples first to figure out what paper and font I wanted, and I ended up with the perfect invitations!"
"This invitation is absolutely amazing! The quality is perfect. I could not have asked for a more perfect invite to set the tone for our formal wedding! And the custom charcoal color came out to match perfectly!"
"I love this card. It is elegant without being too old timey. They made my color suggestions really quickly (coral and a grey-navy), including changes to the color of the text and the back. Amazing service! My only suggestions for improvement are: 1) The 5 x 7 card is actually a little shorter in both height and width (I think .2 inches), so it won't be completely flush when lined up against other products that are actually 5 x 7. 2) WIsh they had options for different colored / quality envelopes. I ended up going to paperandmore to order the shimmery envelopes I wanted, with printable text weight paper, which is a little heavier than regular printing paper. It cam out beautifully and matched really well with the weddingpaperdivas invite."
"Stunning! So sophisticated and I actually enjoyed the design process. The designers can tweak the design (move words around, change sizes) to make it exactly how you want. AMAZING."
"We received SO many compliments on our invitations. We kept the basic squared corners, and left the color scheme as is, but we put our own personalized photo from our engagement session on the back. I am so happy we used Wedding Paper Divas."

Green blend is the easiest way and the fastest way to take a large quantity of green vegetables daily. Green blend is an great addition to our health as it gives a general overall boost to all aspects of our products such boosting immune system, regulates blood pres sure, cholesterol, balancing pH value and many others! I have tried most of the different blends by Amazing Gras s. What I like about their products is that most of it tastes very good and are very easy for beginners to start with. The price is reasonable for the bulk prices. This product contains mostly organic ingredients. The core ingredients are organic and those which are not, are les s than 10% by weight so it's not bad. The product does not use soy lecithin (cheap fillers) though they are guilty of using other cheap fillers like flax seed, apple pectin. Not that these fillers are bad, they are just les s value for money. It is best to take in morning for best absorption or when hungry (avoid unneces sary carbohydrates while loading on nutrients). For the taste, this is probably one of the least desirable green blends when the company has many other green blends that taste a lot better. This is simply green blend mixed with a lot of stevia for taste. I find it too stevia-sweet for taste and it does take a while to get used to it. Check out my page for more reviews!
Excellent Product

this helped me with my digestion, and energy i presume. but the taste is like chocolate and peppermint. i will buy pure wheatgrass next time. repurchase: maybe in the next 10 years
Nice Product and easy on Stomach
