Africa - An Incredible JourneyThe incredible journey started without any planning whatsoever. One dreary, cold, wet English evening we were really fed up with the typical English winters. We took out a map of the world, opened it on the table, then my husband closed his eyes and stuck a pin randomly in the map. This was where we would go. Well, it was Africa, Zambia to be exact. It took less than a month for him to find a job

It's been over two weeks since I bought a new pair shoes and I still haven't worn them because I wanted to take one last picture of them. Last week I did a lighting tutorial on how to photograph shoes, on this tutorial we will add some splashes to the shoes and do a step by step tutorial on how do one yourself.
Lighting Tutorial: How To Photograph Shoes
I recently bought a new pair of shoes and before I use them and get them all dirty (as I always do in two seconds), I wanted to play around with them for a bit. Here is a step by step tutorial on how I made the shoes looks so fine. I tried to shoot them as straight out of the camera as possible, there is just some very minor editing to be done at the end.
7 Functional Tips for Better Product Photography
I've been making different product photography tutorials for awhile now and I still regularly go back to a previous posts because I am still using the same techniques. I wanted to make a single point of contact for functional tips on improving your product photography.
Step by step guide for Composite Product Photography
Usually, I prefer to get stuff in camera (even if it means light painting my subject). But sometimes Lighting or space limitations will make getting the picture in-camera hard or simply not worth the effort. When such situation strikes go for a composite. If you only have little gear, this technique will also help you get a more professional look in your images.
To demonstrate this point, I used my girlfriends Macbook air and my Fuji Xe-2.
Product Photography: Shooting A "Papo Seco" Wine Bottle
Here it is a short description of the process for creating the image of the bottle "Papo Seco" to Pinto & Raposo.
For this shot I only had the 5 bottles my client gave me and the idea he wanted for the image… He wanted "fresh" "clean" and "young" he also needed some blank space for adding text later on…
In the beginning I was thinking on using only one bottle…but as I had 5 bottles available I decided to try to use them all.
Tips on getting Gradient Reflection on Reflective Surfaces Part 2
Last year I made an article about getting good gradient reflections on surfaces, but after a while of using this that I've come to realize that I actually get slightly better (and easier) results with a different technique.
You can consider this as he second part of the How To Get Gradient Reflection On Surfaces tutorial.
How To Create The Tastiest Vintage Themed Coffee Ad
I recently did a vintage themed coffee ad and documented the process to show what goes into making stuff like this.
While the ad is centered around the product packaging rather than its content (more on that further down), the basic idea was to return the object, a coffee tin from the 1960's Denmark, to its own time period in a nostalgic veil of bygone times, playing on atmosphere rather than the practical benefits of coffee.
10 Essentials Nitty Gritties Every Pro Photographer Should Have On A Photoshoot
As a pro photographer there are all sorts of little tips & tricks that you learn on the job.
Aside from the basics – camera, lenses, lighting etc. there are those little secrets of the craft that help you go from amateur to pro. These are little tricks of the trade that I have picked up from my years as a photographer. One of the things we photographers are great at is "improvising" I have seen some of my fellow photographer friends come up with the funniest tools for getting the job done.
10 things never to be without when heading out on a photoshoot. All of these things can be picked up at your local grocery/hardware store.
How To Create A Turntable For 360 Degree Product Photography In 5 Minutes And $15
If you're into product photography, you know what a great impact a 360 degree image can have. It will instantly upgrade any website and is an excellent addition to the services you can offer your clients.
In this tutorial, originally posted by Vladimir Matiyasevich, you will learn how to build a steady 360 degree turntable and a mini studio in 5 minutes. Assuming you already own a set of speed lights, studio flashes or desk lamps, this project should cost you approximately $15 and a trip to the nearest IKEA store.
Three Ways To Photograph A Perfect Watch
Over the last month I've been writing about different ways to shoot a watch. One way involved using only DIY modifiers and the other one was done using nothing but an iPad. This is the last part of the series and it is focused more on using photoshop way to complete the shoot.

Blood Brothers: The Dramatic Story of a Palestinian Christian Working for Peace in Israelby David Hazard Elias Chacour
As a child, Elias Chacour lived in a small Palestinian village in Galilee. The townspeople were proud of their ancient Christian heritage and lived at peace with their Jewish neighbors. But early in 1947, their idyllic lifestyle was swept away as tens of thousands of Palestinians were killed and nearly one million forced into refugee camps. An exile in his native land, Elias began a years-long struggle with his love for the Jewish people and the world's misunderstanding of his own people, the Palestinians. How was he to respond? He found his answer in the simple, haunting words of the Man of Galilee: "Blessed are the peacemakers." <P> In Blood Brothers, Chacour blends his riveting life story with historical research to reveal a little-known side of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the birth of modern Israel. He touches on controversial questions such as "What behind-the-scenes politics touched off the turmoil in the Middle East? ", "What does Bible prophecy really have to say? ", and "Can bitter enemies ever be reconciled? " <P> Originally published by Chosen Books in 1984 and now expanded with a new introduction by the author, a new foreword by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, and a "Since Then" epilogue by writer David Hazard, this compelling book offers readers hope-filled insight into living at peace in the most volatile region of the world.
We Belong To The Land: The Story of a Palestinian Israeli Who Lives For Peace and Reconciliationby Elias Chacour Mary E. Jensen
"Chacour's personal story offers a rare and valuable view inside contemporary Galilee." --San Francisco Chronicle "A wrenching and determinedly honest book that speaks eloquently and without hatred from the Palestinian side of a tragic conflict." --Kirkus Reviews "The conflict of being a clergyman and a Palestinian Arab in Israel forms the backdrop for this human drama as the author ... tries to serve as a spokesperson for fellow Palestinians against what they perceive as injustices imposed on them by a Jewish state ... this is recommended for those interested in a local perspective on the communal conflict in contemporary Israel." --Library Journal ELIAS CHACOUR, author of Blood Brothers, is an ordained priest in the Melkite Church. MARY E. JENSEN, the author of many books and articles, lived in Israel for a year of service and study.

The Drikung Kagyu Order was founded in 1179 by Kyobpa Jigten Sumgön. It is headed by the two Kyabgon Rinpoches, His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang and His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chungtsang. While Chungtsang Rinpoche resides in Lhasa, Chetsang Rinpoche has established the Drikung Kagyu seat in exile in Dehra Dun, in the northeast of India.
July 4th, 2016, His Holiness Tinle Lhundup arrived at Penang, Malaysia. He was received with a grand reception at the airport by devotees from various Drikung Kagyu centers in Malaysia. The Butterworth Buddhist Association has been established by Lho Kunsang Rinpoche from the Palme Gonpa Monastery of Eastern Tibet in 2000. Three years ago, His Holiness decided to host the Namgyalma (Ushnisha Vijaya) Thousand Offering Puja annually in Malaysia during every Malaysian new year. He agreed to personally lead the puja every other year and was present during the first Puja. In July, His Holiness arrived at Penang Malaysia to host the third Thousand Offering Thousand Blessing Puja, which was organized jointly by the Butterworth Palme Gon Life Education Center and the Butterworth Buddhist Association.
As invited by the Drigar Thupten Dargye Ling Centre in Singapore, His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang arrived Changi Airport, on June 29, 2016 at 7 am in the morning. H.H. and entourages were received with warm welcome by H.E. Grachen Rinpoche, Dorzin Konchok Dondup, the members of the Drikung Kagyu Centers and all the followers of the Drikung Kagyu lineage in Singapore. Thereafter H.H. was invited to the Marina Bay Sands for the welcoming tea session and rest. In the evening His Holiness blessed the great empowerment of the Buddha Amitabha to all the people and began the 6th 100 Million Amidewa Retreat at the Marina Bay Sands. H.H. said that with this empowerment we were linked with the Buddha Amitabha and we will have a possibility of having born in the Pure Land in the near future.
On the invitation of Ladakh Buddhist Association His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang, the 37th throne holder of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage arrived at the Leh airport. His holiness was accorded a grand reception at the airport by H.E Thuksay Rinpochey, H.E.Tokdan Rinpochey, H.E.Stakna Rinpochey, H.E.Tsamtrul Rinpoche, Tsewang thinless President LBA, Rinchen Namgyal President LBA youth, Tsewang Dolma President LBA women wing, LAHDC headed by Dr.Sonam Dawa CEC, Head of all gompas along with lamas around Ladakh, Ex-MP and MLCs and head of different religious communities.
The cavalcade was received by sertang from different gompas, phoks kalchor from different parts of ladakh and school students and general public were all lined up from airport to chowkhang vihara and Chowkhang Vihara to Phayang Gonpa.
Dear brothers and sisters,
His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Thinley Lhundup asked everyone to advocate for the designation of Bears Ears as a national monument to protect these lands for Native Americans and the whole world.
Utah's Bears Ears is a sacred region to many Native Americans and home to more than 100,000 archaeological sites. However, it is not protected. As a result, yet looting, grave robbing, oil drilling, mining and many other activities are jeopardizing the integrity of this sacred cultural landscape.
In order to advocate for the protection of the Bears Ears, the Inter-Tribal Coalition that consists of five sovereign Native American Tribes-Hopi, Navajo, Uintah and Ouray Ute, Ute Mountain Ute, and Zuni-submitted a proposal to ask President Obama to establish the 1.9-million-acre region as a national monument.
On April 11, 2016, as scheduled His Holiness visited New York City for three days meeting with the Department of the United Nation. H.H. was hosted warmly by Dr. Andrew Taber and member of The Mountain Institute and the meetings were successfully done.
His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang visited San Fransisco on April 14, 2016. H.H. and his entourage were welcomed at the airport by Drikung Kagyu devotees and the organizer of the teachings and then escorted to San Jose.
On April 16, His Holiness gave an empowerment on Shitro Yangzab to the Vietnamese community and other people in San Jose. He also offered the teachings related to this special empowerment, adding that the meaning of an empowerment is to dispel our ego-clinging and ignorance and to fulfil our inner qualities with wisdom knowledge and blessings.
Dear Sangha and laypeople who are under the same teacher and lineage. The rays of the sun radiate on the unpolluted pure samaya of disciples, like drops of milk that have merged into an ocean of milk. Here is an important announcement for your kind attention. Thus, it was mentioned in the Sutra of Complete Increasing Wisdom:
"In the north snowy mountain range, a great being will appear by the name of Ratnashri. This supreme man will be renown in the world, he will greatly serve my teaching."
His Holiness and entourages were received with warm welcome at the Pekanbaru airport, Indonesia by Mr. Anirudha the main organizer of this Dharma tour, and hundreds of Dharma brothers and sisters with traditional white scarf (Khatak) at the airport on 20th March 2016.
In the evening HH visited oldest temple in Pekanbaru and gave Dharma talk about loving kindness and compassion. As His Holiness has long awaited wishes to visit the great holy land of the great master Atisha.
To all Drikung Kagyu followers,
Recently, in order to express their faith and enthusiasm for their lineage and their root teacher, members of our lineage have had statues made of their lamas and created new thanka formats. However, this is not customary over the 837 years of Drikung Kagyu tradition. Kyopa Jigten Gönpo taught: "Until you have reached the state of Vajradhara, don't have your disciples meditate on anyone except the previous lineage masters, do not let your circle meditate on you."
Dear learned and accomplished Sangha members and members of Drikung Kagyu Dharma Centres,
In the 21st century, the natural environment that sustains all the creatures of the earth has undergone and continues to undergo incredible devastations to previously unheard of degree. It has become an issue that demands the attention of all of us.
Dear alll,
As we all know that, the second election of members of the International Drikung Kagyu Council was successfully carried out and has been already announced through webpage. The International Drikung Kagyu Council is the main body to provide rules & guidelines for the Glorious Drikung Kagyu Lineage. All the centres which carry the Drikung Kagyu name and its followers should join their effort with the International Drikung Kagyu Council and its activities.
We are pleased to announce that, His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang will be leading Lord Jigten Sumgon's Anniversary prayer ceremony, Long Life prayers, Buddha Ritual Cleansing ceremony and presiding over a very special program with the traditional Sacred Tantric Lama Dances and prayers for World Peace on 29th – 30th May, 2016, at Drikung Kyobpa Choling Monastery in Escondido, California.
All interested Dharma friends and followers are most welcome to attend this auspicious teachings.

I couldn't make this up if I tried
It isn't bad enough that he gets and Oscar for a fiction movie, but now he is honored by a group of nuts that faked cloning a human too.
Raelians Appoint Michael Moore `Honorary Guide'
MONTREAL (Wireless Flash) -- Michael Moore has reason to be moved.
The Raelian movement, the same group that claimed to have cloned a baby last December, has made the controversial filmmaker an "Honorary Guide."
The religion based on its leader RAEL handed Moore the award for his movie "Bowling For Columbine" and for his anti-war position he delivered at the Oscar ceremony last month.
Raelian organizers have sent Moore an official letter and also an invitation to attend their meetings and permission to make a documentary about their group.
"His Holiness" RAEL -- as his organizers demand he be addressed by media before granting interviews -- says although he's contacted past recipients of the award, none has ever returned his calls.

Flor Arely Sánchez had been in bed with a fever and pains throughout her body for three days when a July thunderstorm broke over the mountainside. She got nervous when bolts of light flashed in the sky. Lightning strikes the San Julián region of western El Salvador several times a year, and her neighbors fear storms more than they fear the march of diseases — first dengue, then chikungunya, now Zika. Flor worried about a lot of things, since she was pregnant.
Late in the afternoon, when the pains had somewhat eased, Flor thought she might go to a dammed-up bit of the river near her house to bathe. She is thirty-five and has lived in the same place all her life, where wrinkled hills are planted with corn, beans, and fruit trees. She took a towel and soap and walked out into the rain. Halfway to the river, the pains returned and overcame her. The next thing Flor remembers, she was in a room she didn't recognize, unable to move. As she soon discovered, she was in a hospital, her ankle cuffed to the bed, and she was being investigated for abortion.

Though they're huge stars in their native U.K., Muse has never reaped the sort of Stateside success attained by their countrymen in Coldplay and Keane. Black Holes and Revelations, Muse's fourth album, proves why right from the start, when "Take a Bow" opens the proceedings with a dramatic synth fanfare that sounds like a crude genetic splice of Abba's "Mamma Mia" and Philip Glass' score from Koyaanisqatsi. (That's before front man Matthew Bellamy informs the listener that "you will burn in hell" in complicated "Bohemian Rhapsody" vocal harmonies.)
Muse sabotages their crossover potential throughout Black Holes, whether coarsening pretty piano-pop melodies with robot-sex funk rhythms, submitting arena-rock guitars to electronic processing that turns them into products of alien technology or disrupting delicate acoustic ballads with observations that "there's no justice in the world." Of course, all of this is precisely what makes Black Holes such a blast: Muse are pop perverts of the highest order, three absurdly talented players who don't see the sense in wasting an idea (good or bad) when it comes. Their taste for compositional overkill continues to earn them the adoration of prog-rock sympathizers. But when were Yes ever this funny?

Short Posts 9/28/16: The Shimmy Song, Fashion Magazines And What Online Writing Is
1. This is the Hillary shimmy song.
Mind you, that shimmying could always be an early sign of leprosy or hoof-and-mouth disease or some other menacing malady. At least if we believe right-wing long-distance diagnosticians.
2. An interesting video showing what's left when two women's magazines are denuded of their ad pages. And of course fashion and beauty advice and even health advice is sold to women on the wider platform of You Are Not Good/Pretty/Healthy Enough, because that is the platform which works. The industry needs to keep women insecure* but not so insecure that we just go "what-the-f**k, I'm not perfectible, so I'd rather go and enjoy life as I am."
I'm more curious about the poses the models must take in the ads, because those poses are oddly passive, oddly similar to a broken doll tossed across the floor by an enraged (but rich) child, while at the same time the eyes of the models are often half-shut, empty of life, and the lips of the models are slightly open, swollen, as if after some fairly strenuous sex. Or the few cases where the model appears to be leaping or running or turning pirouettes; all that while walking on stilts.
What are the subtexts in all that?
3. I have stumbled into some financial insecurity, so I have Googled various types of extra jobs, including online writing (which I'm doing here, essentially for nothing, because I'm a very stupid goddess). The sites specializing in free lance writing jobs are wonderful places!
Minimum wages are an unheard concept, people should want to write a 6000-word article for the grand total of thirty dollars, and expect someone else's name to be attached to the piece once it is finished, after a month's work. One job would have required ten blog posts a day, at five dollars per post, with pictures and all!**
Then there's the site where the home page, intended to lure both clients and writers to the site, has truly awful clunky and grammatically incorrect writing.
Now that is a truly bizarre labor market, though it's true that many, many people today write for nothing, and are glad to get into print. So why would the clients pay for the milk when the cow itself jumps into the oven and turns it on?
That can make a goddess gloomy. But then I cheered up immediately, because I Googled economic writing jobs, thinking that the extra expertise would up the pay a little.
And it does. But, my friends, I found that the quickest way to make money in that sub-market is to solve college students' economics homework problems for them or to write their term papers. Somewhat unethical, wouldn't you say?
Still. I think I will become a ghost-writer, hovering ominously in the background of the articles while going "BOO!"
* Insecurity is also used in marketing products for men, but the role of insecurity in the marketing for women is much more central.
** The clients or customers appear to have absolutely no idea how long writing takes or how much research is required for it to be any good. To rely on a market where many on the supply side are willing to work for zero pay doesn't correct this problem, because ultimately those who give it away for nothing will die of overwork and hunger. And what you get when pay five dollars per post is a post worth less than five dollars. That's just basic economics.

The First Bigly, Good and Beautiful Presidential Debate
I love Donald Trump's presidential language:
The United States is a mess, the Middle East is a mess, NATO is a mess, and the Americans lose on everything.
But Mr. Trump, he has the great temperament, the winning temperament, and the stamina to steer this country out of all those messes! He can give us witness testimonials about what a wonderful guy he is, what beautiful businesses he has built (and bankrupted). Indeed, he is just the greatest.
Now that was important to include in a presidential debate, in case someone in the audience hadn't already learned that Donald thinks he's the greatest thing since grated cheese.
Ms. Clinton, on the other hand, doesn't have the right temperament, doesn't have any business ability, doesn't have judgment.
And luring the wealthy corporations to bring back their money to the United States would be beautiful, beautiful.
Now parse all that for me. Then ask yourselves if the media wouldn't have found such a language inappropriately fuzzy and inappropriately emotional had it come from the mouth of some other politician. Say, Hillary Clinton.
The whole debate was a hoot, a bit like the sound Hillary Clinton made when Donald Trump told us that she doesn't have the temperament, the judgment or the stamina to be the president of the United States. Perhaps that attack was based on the Republican code-book of always attacking your opponents at what their strengths are? Even if they are your own weaknesses?
So who won the debate? The general agreement is that Hillary Clinton did. I'm not quite sure what the basis of that judgment is, whether it is that she was better on facts* or future policies, or just the better debater, though I think that she won in all of those categories.
Two parts of the debate stuck to my mind:
First, Trump's insistence that Hillary Clinton, together with Barack Obama, created ISIS. That, by the way, caused some coffee to be spewed on my screen.
George Walker Bush would be the name that comes to mind if a particular American would be accused of enabling ISIS**, not Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. It was our Georgie Porgie who poked a sleeping beehive with a stick and then ran away when the bees woke up. It was our Georgie Porgie who sent young Tea Party personnel over to Iraq to create a free market, it was our Georgie Porgie who destroyed the Iraqi army, without apparently knowing anything about the Shia-Sunni quarrels, and it was our Georgie Porgie who did all that without any understanding of what he got into.
To be quite honest, my research into ISIS, which I used for an earlier three-post series, taught me that the roots of ISIS are complicated, hard to eradicate and that it's quite possible that very few Western politicians really understand the size of the problem. But surely Trump's utterance serves as the most idiotic one ever.
Second, Trump's inability to properly counter Clinton's references to the way he had treated Alicia Machado, the Miss Universe of 1996. Trump loves judging women's bodies so much that he's been in the beauty pageant business for years.
The case of Ms. Machado was about her gaining weight during the year she was the ruling Miss Universe. According to Hillary Clinton, Trump's concern with that weight gain made him call Ms. Machado names:
"And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest -- he loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them -- and he called this woman 'Miss Piggy,' then he called her 'Miss Housekeeping' because she was Latina," Clinton had said.The point I want to make about all that is this: Trump knows that Clinton is accusing him of sexism and misogyny (with good evidence, I might add). So why didn't he prepare for something of this sort to come up in the debates? Is it because he didn't prepare for the debates at all, what with already being the greatest? Or is it because wimminfolk really do not matter in his mind?
To be completely fair, I should note that Trump did better in the first fifteen minutes or so, before his ramblings began. He also brought up one important issue, and that is the way the costs and benefits of globalization fall differently:
The costs of globalization have hit the American working classes much more than they have hit the middle classes or, goddess bless, the very rich (who largely benefit from globalization). Yet neither party has proposed anything that would truly work to compensate those workers who have lost their jobs in this country (especially in middle age, say), while others are enjoying cheaper foreign goods and services and firms increase their profits by locating abroad.
I credit Trump for stating the problem. His solutions to it are, however, gobbledygook. As are his solutions to most everything.
* Different sites check somewhat different assertions. Here are a few more fact check sites for you to peruse: CNN, USA Today, Politifact.
** The Syrian civil war might have happened even in the absence of the Iraq invasion, and regional and religious politics also pay the role. But it's also true that some within ISIS are fighting a grudge war against the West, with roots in the early crusades, and that those same theologians see both sides only in terms of religions. This does not negate the crucial and harmful role Western imperialism and greed for oil have had in creating the current situation. But no one person, not even Hillary Clinton!, can be seen as the architect of ISIS.

More on the False Equivalence in The 2016 Presidential Elections
Paul Krugman writes about the false equivalence phenomenon in how the media has handled the two presidential candidates:
If Donald Trump becomes president, the news media will bear a large share of the blame. I know some (many) journalists are busy denying responsibility, but this is absurd, and I think they know it. As Nick Kristof says, polls showing that the public considers Hillary Clinton, a minor fibber at most, less trustworthy than a pathological liar is prima facie evidence of massive media failure.
Or put it this way: We have a spelling bee in the final round of questions. The winner will run the world. One candidate is asked to spell "huge", the other candidate is asked to spell "prospicience."
Or put it this way: One candidate's 'errors and flaws' are subjected to a microscope, the other candidate's 'errors and flaws' are viewed through the kind of veil that was used to film romantic moments and happy endings in old movies*. At the same time, one candidate's expertise and experience are ignored, the other candidate's lack of expertise and lack of experience are also ignored. That, my friends is not equivalent treatment.
Or put it this way: One candidate is a racist, sexist turnip-head with no real qualifications for the job he wants, unless one believes that playing a bully in reality television is such a qualification**.
The other is a career politician.
Yet the false equivalency approach means that "Trump being Trump" is accepted as an excuse for the misogyny and the racism, whereas there is no such equivalence of "Hillary Clinton being Hillary Clinton" for anything she does or is accused of doing.
I see some change in the false equivalence approach, to give some in the media credit where credit is due. But the damage is probably already done.
* These "errors and flaws" are not intended to be read as being of the same size and/or nature.
** With apologies to upstanding turnips everywhere.

Glenn Reynolds. On The Self-Harm Caused by Tweeting
My apologies for the quiet on this here blog. Life and its troubles intervened.
Glenn Reynolds, a law professor ( who therefore should know better) and a conservative pundit, was temporarily suspended from Twitter for this tweet:
Reynolds is not my favorite flavor of the month*. It's also worth noting that another right-wing pundit has been permanently suspended from Twitter for tweets which cross the line from pretend-performance-art to inciting real hatred toward other people and groups**.
Still, there's something wider I want to say about this case, something which might matter to others than weird propagandists on Twitter.
Reynolds defends the above tweet by saying, among other things, that he has sent off over 580,000 tweets, and they can't all be perfect.
But here's the thing: Every single of those 580,000+ tweets can be saved, every single of them equals etching its message on the tissues of the universe , and every single one will be interpreted by someone as if it resulted from careful, slow and rational thought.
Twitter is a game***, or several games in one box. There's the sub-game of ganging up on people, threatening people, doxxing people and so on. There's the sub-game of trying to get people banned when they don't deserve to be banned****, there's the sub-game of sending hordes, small or large, to attack specific individuals.
Now, all those are nasty sub-games. But the ones we all must play are the games of seemingly chatting with a few individuals while the message goes to the universe, the games of having trouble with the small number of characters allowed for a tweet, and the resulting game of being misunderstood, with various consequences. There's the game of mixing up opinion with facts, of presenting false evidence in a way which is tough to correct, and there's the game of taking things out of context.
Or so I think, and that's why I can't understand why people don't plait their fingers or stuff them into mittens or, if all else fails, chew them off, when they get angry while tweeting. Because nothing good follows from the instinctive reaction of slashing back at someone without even having taken one breath first.
* A couple of examples of Reynolds' views on women and such can be found in this post and in this one.
** You can read more about the pundit described in that link here and here.
*** I'm not covering here the obviously useful and beneficial aspects of Twitter which are not really games.
*** This does not apply to Instapundit/Reynolds, but I have seen it done on Twitter.

The Dish-Draining Cabinet
This year was the 120th anniversary of the birth of Maiju Gebhard. I bet you don't know who she was.
She was the Finnish inventor of a dish draining cabinet/cupboard (though similar inventions were earlier patented in the US by Louise R. Krause in 1932 and Angiolina Scheuermann in 1929). Here's one picture of what a dish draining cabinet is:
The doors close, and the cabinet is right above the sink area. Note the plastic-covered metal grids which create the bottoms of the racks. They allow someone washing the dishes by hand to just put them into the cabinet and then close the doors. No drying is necessary, and, indeed, the everyday dishes can just live in the cabinet, to be taken out of it when needed.
The dish draining cabinet became common in Finnish households, though not elsewhere. Its industrial production began in 1948 and the plastic-covered metal wire grids were introduced in 1954. The sizes were standardized in the early 1980s.
The introduction of the dishwasher made the dish draining cabinet less useful, of course.
This story is an example of the era when some women began studying the ergonomics of housework and tried to rationalize and reduce the labor of housewives.
But I also like it because the dish draining cabinet or cupboard probably didn't cost much more to build than the ordinary kind of cabinet, yet saved labor for years to come (by making drying by hand unnecessary and by saving steps because the cabinet was right above the sink). It might have even been more hygienic than the practice of drying dishes by hand.
Besides, there's a "duh, that's obviously a good idea!" feeling about the whole thing.

The New Times-CBS Presidential Race Poll. How Are White Men And White Women Planning To Vote?
A new Times-CBS poll suggests that the presidential race is tightening, though it's worth remembering that the questions were asked when Hillary Clinton was receiving even more negative public attention than she usually does. Here's the summary table from the poll:
Polls are not elections, of course, and direct comparisons with past elections are not without problems. Still, I decided to look at two rows in that table in order to see how they compare to what happened in the 2012 presidential election and in the 2014 mid-term elections.
Those two rows are the percentages of likely voters who are white women and white men*. In the above table white men go for Trump 57-33, while white women narrowly go for Clinton 46-45.
What happened in 2012? Sixty-two percent of white men voted for Romney, 56% of white women did. Those figures reflect the traditional party split among American whites. The reasons for that split are many. In the 2012 presidential election these reasons were suggested:**
Without much doubt, attitudes about race—and even outright racism—played a role, although one that is hard to quantify. But it's far from the only thing. Income is important. On average, white men and women tend to be richer than non-whites, and voting Republican is strongly correlated with income. (In families that made less than a hundred thousand dollars a year, Obama won by eight points. In families that made more than a hundred thousand dollars a year, Romney won by ten points.) Age is another factor. Whites, on average, tend to be older than non-whites, and older people (male and female) tend to vote Republican in greater numbers. Religion is also part of the story. Most white women, like most white men, are churchgoing Christians, a group that is strongly Republican—especially evangelicals, who voted for Romney by almost four to one. Then there is ideology. Just as there are conservative men, there are conservative women.
The 2014 midterm voting patterns reinforce the above arguments: Sixty-four percent of white men voted Republican in that election, and so did 56% of white women.
Is there anything useful we might glean from those comparisons, given that the 2016 numbers come from a poll, that third-party candidates complicate analysis and so on?
I believe that a Trump-As-A-Misogynistic-Asshat*** effect is visible in those findings, especially when it comes to the possible voting patterns of white women this year. The majority of white women have traditionally voted for Republicans, but that may not necessarily be the case this year.
And the difference is because the man who is running on the Republican ticket this time is a man who doesn't even bother to hide his sexism the way past Republican candidates have hidden it.
But is there an effect from the Trump-As-A-Know-Nothing candidate? I'm not sure, because I don't have the time to do the kind of digging that would be required to guarantee that the numbers from various years are at least somewhat comparable. But it looks like there might be one.
* Because these are still the largest voter groups and because Trump's support is especially strong among white men. It's not weak among white women, either, and both these numbers make me sad. Trump is a racist and sexist egomaniac. That so many people are fine with that makes me sad and cynical.
** That paragraph is about the 2012 elections where racism had a more open role to play. Sexism will take a comparable role in the 2016 elections.
Note, though, that the quoted explanation doesn't quite explain why in 2016 whites without college education might prefer Trump 58-32, whereas whites with college education prefer Clinton 51-40. The latter group has the higher income. But the case of one Donald Trump might be exceptional.
** He is also a racist asshat, a person knowing very little about the job he is applying for, a person who seems unable to contain his own temper tantrums, and a person who just might decide to nuke some country because he had a bad-hair day. Which is every day of the year.

First part of my dracula for the twisted horror comp over at Zbrushcentral.
I wanted to see just how much I can keep within Zbrush, so I started with a really simple Zsphere hand before adaptive skinning it and then pulling it around a bit before zremeshing it. I did have some long polys on the fingers so I played with the polypaint density settings on the fingers and then I had a nice mesh to keep sculpting on.
This is still quite early days and will return to the hands as I progress with the sculpt

You Are Now Free to Ride Your Horse to Walmart
Ever get a hankerin' for a whole case of cheese and peanut butter crackers but don't have the money or the means to get to a grocery store other than maybe a horse?
Well, it's this kind of universal problem the fine folks at Walmart like to solve with their undaunted Walmartness.
A brand-new Walmart just opened up in Davie, and, aside from selling mops at $1.47 a pop, it also has a place where you can park your horse, because of course it does.
The Davie Walmart Supercenter, located at 4301 S. University Drive, held its grand opening on Wednesday, and along with offering 250 low-wage-better-not-get-sick-while-working-there jobs, this joint also features a horse parking lot next to its regular cars-and-pickups parking lot.
Upcoming Events
- UberTAILGATE: Hard Rock Stadium Dolphins vs. Titans
Miami Heat Red, White & Pink Game
TicketsMon., Oct. 10, 7:30pm
Miami Heat vs. Brooklyn Nets
TicketsTue., Oct. 11, 7:30pm
Florida Panthers v New Jersey Devils
TicketsThu., Oct. 13, 7:30pm
The store also sells animal feed, which we're sure is supercheap.
Prior to the arrival of the soul-sucking maw of retail to Davie, residents tried to keep the store from opening. In 2006, Davie folk convinced town officials to reject the supercenter.
But in typical Walmartness, the company called up its lawyers and sued the town. A settlement was eventually reached.
So instead of being a 24-hour store, the Davie Walmart will now operate from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
And instead of being a 203,000-square-foot behemoth, it is, instead, a 154,400-square-foot colossus. It's the classic feel-good story of the huge American billion-dollar corporation getting its way over the small town. SOMEONE GET DISNEY ON THE PHONE!
But hey, Walmart isn't entirely a cold and heartless giant warehouse retailer. So it threw Davie a bone and now makes it superconvenient for people to mosey in on their horse to buy themselves a 12-pack of light bulbs for $5.62.

I have been selected to go to San Antonio, TX for a special 10 day class for my job pertaining to naval aviation maintenance at Lackland AFB. Since the Navy is providing me with a rental car, I plan on checking out the sights and sounds of San Antonio and the surrounding areas such as Houston, Austin, and perhaps a trip to Dallas, if time available.
I am also a private pilot and plan on doing some cross country flying to selected airports from San Antonio Intl Airport. Any suggestions on where to fly for a quick bite to eat? I will be there in mid June flying from Tokyo and then heading back to Japan during the last week of June. Thanks.

Amy & George, WHAT A DAY!!!!! Here's a little sneaky peek of a few of my favourites.
Wedding Photographer in Reading
Whoops, totally ran out of time last night! But had to put up part 2 of Hannah & Billy's wedding before heading out for today's wedding.
After their ceremony at the Sun Hotel in Hitchin everybody walked a few minutes over the road to the Hermitage Road Bar & Restaurant. What an amazing place! Normally its a bar and restaurant open to the public but they had it exclusively to themselves. The space has a fantastic, modern, industrial, stripped bare look with an open kitchen and stage built into the back. The restaurant area was set up canteen style with simple, beautiful table settings of jars of brightly coloured flowers, little flags for table numbers, hand stamped place names and brightly coloured ribbons tied to the backs of the chairs. The whole look was stylish and retro and fitted perfectly with the venue.
When Hannah & Billy arrived at Hermitage Road all their friends and family had lined the staircase to throw confetti before they enjoyed a cocktail reception and canapes. They had a sit down meal which was followed by the most amazing desert tables from which guests could get up and help themselves, I took so many photo's they were just so pretty, like little works of art all lined up! Dinner was followed by speeches, including one from Hannah (I love it when a bride breaks from tradition) and then a toast of some very fine Scottish Whiskey given by Billy's Mum and Grandma to celebrate his Scottish heritage.
Hannah & Billy are both talented musician's so music played a big role in their day. Billy's sister played the most beautiful piece on the violin during their ceremony and she also played with his brother and the best men for the Ceilidh that started off the evenings dancing which was followed by a band (which I sadly don't have the name of as they were brilliant!)
I can't recommend Hermitage Road enough as a wedding venue. The staff were amazing, the food delicious and the space and decor is fascinating. Congratulations Hannah & Billy and thank you for asking me to be your photographer and letting me document your day, it was truly wonderful!
If you're planning a Hermitage Road Wedding please get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.
I tried to get the number of images for this post down put just couldn't so I have part 1 for you now and part 2 this evening.
I moment I sat down and starting talking to Hannah & Billy I knew I was going to love photographing their wedding. We share a love for hand crafted items, restyled vintage and quite simply just doing things your way rather than conforming to the norm. Their wedding celebrations were all held in Hitchin starting at the Sun Hotel where they also got ready and then on to the Hermitage Road Bar & Restaurant. Both venues offered unique spaces in which to celebrate and really added to the spirit of the day.
The Sun Hotel has a lovey, airy hall with huge arched windows that provide a beautiful backdrop for a civil ceremony. Hannah & Billy had decorated the hall simply using bunting made by friends and family and jars of flowers that matched Hannah's and her bridesmaids bouquets. I loved the ribbons that were tied to the backs of the chairs that added a splash of colour and drew all the other elements together.
Hannah looked stunning in her dress from Elizabeth Avery's vintage wedding dress shop. Hannah's friend then adjusted both the dress and lace jacket to fit Hannah perfectly and added the soft coral silk belt (with hand covered matching buttons!) that looked as though it had always been part of the dress. Hannah made her head piece further demonstrating her eye for style and artistic talent. Billy's fantastic suit is from TM Lewin, his best men wore their own and they all wore mis-matching button holes in the same beautifully bright colours seen in Hannah's bouquet.
Anyway that's enough from me on the photo's, grab a cuppa, sit back and enjoy 🙂
If you're looking for a Hitchin Wedding Photographer then please get in touch, I'd love to hear your plans.
A stunning bride, a gorgeous groom, a cute little country church and an amazing reception venue, oh and a pair of Jimmy Choo's (for a girl that lives in flats, these things still have the most bizarre effect on me!), the perfect recipe for a fantastic day!
Sabbie & Andrew were married on Saturday at St Mary the Virgin in Letchworth and then went on to have their reception at South Farm, Cambridgeshire. Sabbie was so relaxed all morning it was unreal and that set the tone for the whole day. South Farm is such a beautiful venue, surrounded by fields and set in bright, flower filled gardens, add in an ice cream van and some drinks and nibbles on the terrace and you have very happy guests.
I loved Sabbie & Andrew from the moment I met them back at the start of the year, they are so obviously in love and just wanted an amazing day to spend with their family and friends and that's exactly what they got. Congratulations guys, it really was a very special day, I hope you enjoy these images, some of my favourite from the day.
We also spent a lovely afternoon together for their Richmond engagement session which you can see HERE.
If you're looking for South Farm Wedding Photography then please get in touch I'd love to hear more about your plans.
Hannah & Billy… well what can I say! I loved all their little personal touches like Hannah's vintage dress, the super bright bouquets and every kind of bunting made by family & friends! These are just a few of my favourites from their super chilled day at the Sun Hotel, Hitchen and the Hermitage Road Bar & Restaurant. Both were such great venues offering light and bright spaces that they personalised to make them extra special. Hermitage Road is something else, I am so going to make sure I get to eat there one day, the food looked AMAZING and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.
Congratulations guys! I hope you had a fantastic day!
I'll be sharing more of Hannah & Billy's colourful day soon so hopefully these will wet your appetite 🙂
If you're planning a wedding in Hertfordshire or a Hermitage Road Wedding please get in touch I can't wait to work here again!

Julian Hobba's adaptation of Herman Melville's 1853 story places Bartleby in a contemporary Australian office. The demands of technology and endless economic growth have made the atmosphere permanently schizophrenic. Brilliantly capable, frustratingly unworkable, he forces the wise old lawyer who employs him to judge between the office - that effective system for managing human behaviour - against the weight of the human soul.
"I think that maybe in every company today there is always at least one person who is going crazy slowly" - Joseph Heller.
