Blue Prom Dresses
Blue prom dresses are very popular at the moment, and always have been. The blue gowns are the second most popular color to wear to you prom, and its easy to see why; it comes in so many shades and they are all beautiful.
Make sure that you pick a color blue that you like, in a fabric which will not make you look like you are wearing a navy uniform. Also think about whether or not to wear a print/pattern at your prom, like big 50s style polka dots or dainty embroidered flower-shaped sequins. Most people prefer to wear something more simple to their prom, like a navy blue satin halter dress or baby blue strapless full length gown.
These blue prom dresses come in loads of different shades from baby to turquoise to royal, and one to suit each skin tone. So for light, English Rose skin types choose pale and smoky shades. For skin with a bit more sun, pick darker and smokier shades. The best color that will suit every (and I mean every) skin tone is turquoise.
Blue is a color often picked for bridesmaids at a wedding, so there are plenty of dresses out there in this color. You will therefore also find a vast range of shoes to match your outfit, from pretty sandals to chunky heels.
Many of these colors verge on turquoise or aquamarine, which is a color that will suit everyone. Make sure that you think about the kind of fabric you use, as some skin types look great in light airy chiffon, whereas others look awesome in a tougher satin.
Most of the blue gowns come in a slender prom dress style, rather than the big bouffant 'meringue' styles. It is definitely preferable to choose something slim, as this will show off your figure to its best advantage, no matter what size you are.
To all you girls out there that want to look like you waltzed in from a movie premiere, make sure you have a flattering hairstyle too, and complementary makeup.
Here's just a little info on how to get a date for your night:
For girls, who are probably the ones reading this, you have the harder work at getting a date, and statistics show that you will spend months thinking about who to go with. Most girls will spend time with this guy weeks before the event and hang out in the right group. You can't really rely on asking someone the day before as they probably already have a date. The risk of rejection is obviously a big one, but I would say just get over your fears, because you won't getanywhere if you don't ask.
To get your ideal date to look at you and talk to you just think, feel and know that you are beautiful, interesting and confident. Exchange eye contact and smile a lot at him and start talking to his friends if you can.
If you haven't got a date until the last week don't worry! Invite a good friend or someone from another school, or perhaps you know someone who might be able to get you a date. As a last resort why not ask your brother or a cousin, which may sound weird but its better than walking in by yourself and this is how proms originated.

Beyonce Baby Photos 2012
February 17, 2012 by staff
Beyonce Baby Photos 2012, The superstar parents introduced their 1-month-old to the world Friday night. Although many had expected Beyoncé and Jay-Z to sell photos of their first daughter to the highest bidder, the couple posted the intimate shots on a new Tumblr blog. It marked the latest example of how the stars are experts at controlling their media exposure, notes the New York Post.
The blog includes two closeup shots of the baby, who already has a full head of long black hair, as well as shots of each parent holding her. Beyoncé is shown sporting blue nail polish.
"We welcome you to share in our joy," reads a handwritten introduction to the photos. "Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives." Signed, "The Carter Family."
Soon after the baby was born some predicted the pictures could fetch half a million dollars. But Beyoncé and Jay-Z were apparently uninterested in entering a bidding war. This isn't the first time the power couple has been able to control personal moments. Their 2008 marriage, for example, was kept extremely quiet and no photos from the ceremony ever leaked.
Shortly after Blue Ivy was born, her parents filed an application to trademark her name. Although the move might seem strange, lawyers insisted at the time that it was a smart move to reserve the name for future use. It helps them avoid future competition and protects them from having someone try to sell back the name to the couple, reported MTV. Indeed, as the Washington Post pointed out, someone tried to trademark Blue Ivy Carter NYC and another Blue Ivy Carter Glory IV shortly after the birth. Both applications were rejected.

I'm currently back in the UK for a spell to visit some family and go to a few meetings and when I get back I like to check out some live music. On Monday I went along to watch my mate Leo Smith play his first set with musical outfit Lil' Lost Lou. My boy came along and took a couple videos on his new fangled pocket camcorder. It's not the best quality in the world because of the light but it gets the job done.
He's now uploaded them to my brand new shiny youtube channel (shameless plug: http://www.youtube.com/thesalvager/) which is definately worth subscribing to so you can get a notification when I post anything new up in the future.

and as a little bonus here's a quick clip of me and Leo both jamming on our harps in the street outside the bar drawing some strange looks from passers by.

CPP Report Explains Why a Merely "Satisfied" Customer is Less Likely to Return
Bad experiences quickly turn consumers away; great ones keep them coming back. While it's no surprise that satisfaction and likelihood to return are correlated, what is notable is the degree to which this is true. IFMA's latest Consumer Planning Program Report explores how consumer satisfaction impacts business.

CPP Report Explores Growing Portion Sizes
Despite wanting just 500-700 calories per meal, many people believe that today's fast food combo meals generally deliver the perfect amount of food. However, in reality, these combo meals often exceed 1,000 calories. IFMA's latest Consumer Planning Program (CPP) research finds there may be a gap in consumer expectations and what is currently being served.

Praise for the Dead Man series: "Picking up a new book by Michael Pearce reminds you why people enjoy reading mysteries."—Denver Post "The steady pace, atmospheric design, and detailed description re-create a complicated city. A recommended historical series."—Library Journal "Sheer fun."—The Times (London) "An unfailingly amusing historical series."—Booklist "Pearce again demonstrates his skill at making the past come alive and at seamlessly weaving actual political intrigues into his plot."—Publishers Weekly Barcelona, 1912—a city still recovering from the dramatic incidents of the so-called "Tragic Week" when Catalonian conscripts bound for the unpopular war in Spanish Morocco had rebelled at the city's dockside against the royalist forces. In the fighting, many were killed, and afterward, even more imprisoned, including an Englishman, who was later found dead in his cell. The dead man had been a prominent businessman in Gibraltar, so what was he doing in Barcelona? And how did he really meet his end—murdered, in a prison cell? The case, in Gibraltar's view, cries out for investigation—and by someone independent of the Spanish authorities. So Scotland Yard dispatches Seymour of the Special Branch. Michael Pearce was raised in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. He trained as a Russian interpreter but later moved to an academic career, first as a lecturer in English and the History of Ideas and then as an administrator. Pearce now lives in southwest London and is best known as the author of the award-winning Mamur Zapt books.From the Hardcover edition.

not to know if I'm supposed to give DS a cooked tea?(127 Posts)
DS1 used to have cooked lunch at nursery, followed by tea there at 4pm (mostly bread and butter, dips, cheese, fruit etc). Then he'd come home and eat some more at 5.30 - sometimes virtually a whole cooked meal, sometimes almost nothing. He's just started Reception so now has cooked lunch there (but I have no idea what / how much he's eating) and a snack on way home. Do I cook him dinner? Give him toast? Some days he seems hungry, some days he isn't and I can't predict. What does everyone else do? I can't be arsed cooking yet another meal if it doesn't get eaten but I don't want him to go hungry.
Give him a meal. Whether that is a picnic type tea, beans in toast or gourmet cuisine is up to you.
Sandwiches tea is popular here.
Kids in my experience are usually starving after school! My dd (6) always has a healthy appetite. She has school dinners, a snack straight after school then usually whatever we're having for dinner too. She is not overweight yet seems to eat loads!
We used to have a cooked dinner as a family every night. Now he's year one. If he has a cooked lunch we just make a sandwich/Toast. On some days he has a jacket potato for lunch he has whatever we're having.
I guess it depends on the appetite of the child.
Are there quick meals you can do if he says he's starving? DS likes omelettes, or beans on toast. Early days yet but some days he just wants cheese & crackers, some days more. Past 6pm tho and nothing is right (used to eat later before but now he's too tired).
If you cook something and he doesn't want it, can it be saved for the next day?
Could you ask him what he wants before your prepare it?
Hot food is not necessarily more filling, or 'better' than cold food - the hot food could be beige crap and chips and the cold food could be tuna and bean salad.
Cold food is not necessarily 'lighter', healthier or lower calories than hot food - compare the calorie/carb content of sandwiches and crisps with a hot meal that is made from lean meat and vegetables.
Hot food is not necessarily more time consuming than cold food - it is probably quicker to do egg or beans on toast than it is to start chopping up a load of salady bits.
People are weird about this, do what suits you and you don't have to do the same thing every day. I mostly eat hot food, because that's what I prefer. Others like cold food better and cook as little as possible. Horses for courses.
I give my dc a cooked meal after school...they have school dinners but they are always hungry when I pick them up.
Why wouldn't you give a meal? You eat two meals (and breakfast) a day don't you?
My DS is starving after school so he has a snack and then the cooked family meal at dinner time.
i give my daughter a cooked dinner sometimes she eats all of it sometimes she does not.
Maybe if he says hes not that hungry just cook something easier like scrambled eggs on toast or beans on toast or baked potato
Why would you not? Surely he'd be starving having not eaten anything from lunch to the next day, minus a small snack?
Sorry but you can't just give him toast.
He needs 3 meals a day. Sometimes he may not eat it all but still needs 3 meals on offer.
I'd give him a well-balanced meal and make sure I was covering for the possibility that he may not have eaten any fruit and veg during the school day.
Do you see a school lunch menu plan?
A "tea" every night is a habit you should get into. It's not something you don't do because you can't "be arsed" but it's a part of parenting. A basic part.
Doesn't have to be meat and two veg every night. Mine like easy meals like pasta with pesto and sliced sausages or bacon mixed in. Baked potato and ham or cheese with a bit of salad....super easy.
Children need to have a regularly offered evening meal. A toastie and some fruit is also good enough if they're not very hungry. I generally do 3
"proper" cooked meals a week and 4 light/easy ones.
Proper ones include a roast, spag bol. curry, chicken legs with some kind of potato and veg.
Plan your meal and if it's a light one and he turns out to be extra hungry, then later, he can have a boiled egg and toast or something.
Wow, loads of responses, thanks. I think I'm going to stick with offering the cooked / 'proper' tea but if he doesn't seem hungry enough to eat it in the long term we'll try cheese on toast etc.
To clarify - I wasn't suggesting not feeding him anything in the evening! Just not sure if it should be a big meal or a light one.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I always give a "proper" meal in the evening. My two are always starving from school so can eat a huge snack when they come in from school and still find room for a meal in the evening. That can range from beans on toast, soup and bread/sandwich, pasta, chicken based meals, mince based meals, baked potatoes. It depends on what we have on after school and what we have been doing. I give them a substantial packed lunch when they don't have school lunches and it doesn't make a difference - they are always hungry!
I've battled with this for 5 years now! And come to the conclusion that they have a cooked lunch at school and then a proper tea at 4pm when they get home. And when I say tea, I mean in the traditional sense - not meat and 2 veg, but a selection of snack things, wraps or sandwiches etc. Then they do stuff - activities, homework etc, and they will have fruit/yoghurt/cereal before bed at 7ish.
They always wanted food when they got in, and a biscuit or something was never enough, they couldn't wait until 6pm for a full meal. Plus now they do quite a lot after school, so I usually can't feed them at 6pm, and they need energy for the activities. Also they very often complain about my food and it is so frustrating when I have put time in to cooking something for them to not want it. So I go with the cold tea at 4pm.
I generally give mine exactly what we are having, they have a cooked dinner at school but at least two of them only tend to have the jacket potatoes so I make sure they eat some meat and veg (if possible, not easy with fussy kids!) in the evening. They generally all eat a whole dinner and have done since reception. School lunch is quite early and the portions aren't very big, plus smaller children tend to be more interested in playtime and less interested in lunch so you will never know what they have eaten.
Are you cooking for yourself anyway? What about other kids/partner?
My son has lunch at school, school dinners. I still make a meal each evening for everyone. Ds is usually very hungry and eats it all.
We don't always have a fabulous meal, sometimes it's just omelette, cheese and ham toasties, beans on toast, shop bought pizza, usually on a Friday the kids have a lazy tea then us adults have a takeaway.
My kids come home from school ravenous, I feed them an enormous dinner as they walk in the door.
Even if he's not hungry at this particular point, that will change as he gets bigger and more active so best to set your evening habits now.
During this period of uncertainty, restrict yourself to food that keeps well and is easily re-heated.
My two are 6 and 7 and they are very hungry when school finishes. They have a substantial snack after school and they also have a cooked dinner with us at around 6pm. They also often have a small snack like a piece of cheese or fruit just before bed too.
I give mine lighter
quicker teas on the 2 days a week they have school dinners - soup and a sandwich/beans on toast something like that. Rest of the week main meal is in the evening.
The mine have a full dinner - usually whatever I've cooked the night before for DH and me. Fridays they get a 'picky tea' - basically a picnic.
I'm finding this fascinating and confusing.
It's never occurred to me not to make a proper tea for the whole family.
If you don't do it now, when would you decide to start? Age 5, 6, 7, 8? Don't you just all have an evening meal as a matter of course?
The portions of school dinners aren't huge from what I've seen, even with dessert.
We have a 'proper' dinner every night as a family regardless of whether he eats a cooked lunch or takes packed (also yr 1 and we do both)
He has a snack after school of fruit etc, always eats dinner, but isn't forced to eat more than he wants.
I can't be forever making different meals for everybody, the only allowance I make is to ensure what we eat in the evening isn't exactly the same as what he's had at school.
I have to have a cooked dinner in the evening though, even if it's just beans on toast. I would feel ill on cheese and crackers even if I had a big lunch, but everyone's different.

Department of Music
Chinese music, like other forms of national music based on aural tradition, has its intrinsic difficulties in transmission (Jiang, 2001, p.1). Urbanization has adverse effects on the preservation of indigenous musical culture in China, as folk music, traditionally played or sung in rural areas, is rapidly replaced by music that has a higher commercial value. Chinese opera faces the same problem, as live performances are readily replaced by broadcast (in Hong Kong by DVDs and VCDs): few students will have the opportunity to acquire the essence of the art form through direct contact with actors and singing teachers. Transcription of Chinese operatic scores into Western staff notation will clear a major barrier for students to acquire a solid foundation on Chinese music (Chan, 1999, p.4).

* Fed official says inflation record suggests even easier policies were needed
* Suggests other central banks adopt dual mandate
By Jonathan Spicer
BOSTON, April 12 (Reuters) - A top Federal Reserve official on Friday defended the U.S. central bank's dual mandate of full employment and price stability, and pointed to economic trends that suggest an even more accommodative policy stance might have been needed since the Great Recession.
Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren, redoubling his support of the currently very easy U.S. monetary policies, argued the Fed's inflation record over the past 15-20 years has been as good as or better than central banks in Europe that have only a single price-stability mandate.
In officially keeping one eye on unemployment, the Fed is unusual in a developed world where central bankers are typically tasked solely with maintaining price stability.
Highlighting the records of the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and Sweden's Riksbank, Rosengren went so far as to suggest that central banks that focused only on inflation may want to consider adopting a U.S.-style dual mandate.
He said such a move would, for example, make it easier to publicly explain buying bonds when inflation is running above target, as that trio has done in the wake of the global recession.
"The dual mandate in the United States has been criticized by some for providing an inflationary bias. However, the data show little such evidence," he told the conference on fulfilling the U.S. central bank's mandate of full employment, for which it aims along with a 2-percent inflation target.
"The dual mandate in the United States has provided a clear and transparent way to communicate the need for aggressive monetary policy."
Conservative politicians and hawkish economists have at times criticized the Fed's "full employment" mandate in large part because the main monetary policy tool, the short-term interest rate, has only an indirect effect on the labor market.
These criticisms have grown as the U.S. central bank has rolled out increasingly easy policies, including three big bond-buying programs.
Yet while the Fed has eased policy to lower joblessness and raise inflation in the wake of the 2007-2009 recession, central banks such as the BoE have also launched accommodative bond-buying programs despite higher-than-desired inflation rates.
With a touch of levity, Rosengren said that may only prove that "all of us are dual mandate banks at heart." Internationally, he said, "there should be a broader consideration of moving to a dual mandate, such as we have in the United States."
In Britain, for example, a new remit gives the BoE more leeway to disregard above-target inflation due to one-off factors, and it sets the stage for a broader review of monetary policy this summer.
The Fed is buying $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage securities per month and has promised to keep interest rates near zero for a long while more to support the stop-start U.S. economic recovery and get Americans back to work.
The U.S. unemployment rate was 7.6 percent last month, higher than the 5-6 percent range to which Americans are accustomed. On the other side of the mandate, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation is below target at around 1.3 percent.
While policy doves like Rosengren currently hold sway over Chairman Ben Bernanke and the majority of Fed policymakers, minutes from last month's policy meeting suggest the quantitative easing program could draw to a close by year end, earlier than some economists had expected.
Rosengren however said there remains "strong rationale for continuing our highly accommodative monetary policy," and he predicted inflation will remain "well below" the 2-percent target over the next two years, paving the way for more easing.
Doubling down on his stance, he said the fact that the United States has historically had a tighter inflation range and broader unemployment range than that of the euro zone, Britain and Sweden suggests the Fed could have been even more stimulative over the past five years.
The Fed struggled with runaway U.S. inflation in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Since then, Rosengren argued, the main difficulty has been maintaining full employment, including a runup to 10 percent joblessness in 2009.
"This may indicate that during the period of the 1970s and early 1980s too little weight may have been placed on inflation misses but in the more recent past we may have placed too little weight on unemployment misses - and if anything, we should have acted more aggressively to reduce the unemployment rate," he said.
However Rosengren, who has a vote on Fed policy this year, stopped short of calling for more easing now.
Instead he repeated in a television interview that an unemployment rate of 7.25 percent is a level at which the Fed might taper or halt its bond-buying, depending on that is happening in the labor market.

Steve Jobs Dies
October 6, 2011 by staff
Steve Jobs Dies, Co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, who revolutionized the technology through its design, marketing and the creation of personal computers and mobile devices, has died at age 56, the company announced Wednesday.
The man who built Apple into a powerhouse and shaped how people listen to music and how to use computers died peacefully surrounded by his family.
"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs has died today," Apple said in a brief statement.
"Steve Shine, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve life for all. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve."
Remarkably fragile, who had resigned from Apple in late August to address the effects of an unspecified illness. Jobs had previously been treated for pancreatic cancer after being diagnosed in 2004.
His illustrious career followed a remarkable series of twists and turns – a meteoric rise in the 1970 and 1980 to a dismal low point in the 1990′s followed his rise to the level of technology guru.
Described by some as arrogant performance, moody and brutally honest about employees, Jobs was known and respected for his business acumen and an almost mystical ability to predict trends in technology are headed and what the people wanted.
Tributes came from around the world when the news of the death of Jobs was revealed.
"Steve was one of the greatest innovators of America – brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe it could change the world, and talented enough to do it," said U.S. President Barack Obama.
Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder, said he had known of employment for more than 30 years, as a friend and as a competitor.
"The world rarely seen someone who has had the profound impact that Steve has had, the effects will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, has been an incredibly great honor "Gates said.
Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape, said: "Steve was the best of the best like Mozart and Picasso, which can never be matched .."
Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah Jandali, a couple of singles that put her first child up for adoption. Raised by Paul and Clara Jobs, Steven Paul Jobs was raised in California and shows a great interest in electronics from an early age.
In high school, he found a soulmate in Steve Wozniak, a man who shared his passion for technology and jokes. The friendship that play a key role in the development of Apple and career of work.
They both your feet wet in the world of technology by selling so-called "blue boxes," devices that gave users the ability to make free long distance.
After graduating from Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Oregon in 1972. He retired after one semester, but remained in the area for another 18 months of audit, and calligraphy classes.
In 1974, he returned to California and began working at Atari, a video game company early. He was also on a spiritual journey to India with a friend, which marks the beginning of his interest in Eastern philosophy and religion, including Buddhism.
In 1976, Wozniak and Jobs of Apple Computer Company opened. Dramatic increase in the technology giant, the fall and rise could be related to Jobs' own life.
First model of the company, Apple I, was a simple circuit board, which was sold to computer enthusiasts. Their follow-up, however, proved a huge success, jumping to an unknown company into a household name. Created in 1977, the Apple II was the first computer at home the whole story, which went fully operational right from the box. It has revolutionized the pop industry.
Many of Apple's credit, and employment, with the change in the perception of what a computer can be – from a high-tech tool used only by the business world of science to a common device used by ordinary people.
Apple and the economic fortunes of its co-founder continued to grow. After the initial public offering of the company in 1980, Jobs was worth over 200 million U.S..
After the initial success of the Apple II, the company – and jobs – suffered a series of setbacks. The Apple III had bad sales are concerned. When IBM entered the market in 1981 with his computer, put pressure on Apple, with the PC over time a greater share of computer sales.
Apple launched the Macintosh in 1984, whose design was overseen by the Employment. Despite some initial successes, the team did not sell as well as expected.
During this time, many of Apple became dissatisfied with the job management style, especially after several of its Macintosh project engineers learned that they were paid less than teams in other projects. Much of this came to a head in 1985 when Jobs fought Sculley CEO to control the company. Jobs attempted a coup boardroom, but it backfired. He ran out the administrative responsibility of Apple, but remained chairman. He resigned from the company that year.
Jobs next adventure was beginning NeXT Computer, which hoped the design of advanced equipment for higher education and research. Like the Apple II computers that followed, the NeXT Cube turned out to be largely a commercial failure, despite its impressive computing power.
During this time, Jobs also came into contact with a small group of graphics experts who were willing to start making computer-animated movies. In 1986, bought the little-known company, Pixar, George Lucas for 10 million U.S.. As NeXT, the company was initially unsuccessful and was forced to use smaller.
Things began to change jobs after Pixar signed with Disney to create the first animated film Computer, Toy Story. Launched during the holiday season in 1995, the film was a success and helped propel Jobs back into economic success – and the projector.
Found jobs back to the company he helped found the next time it was bought by Apple in 1997 for 1.5 million shares and the U.S. and more than 400 million. That same year, Jobs was named interim CEO of Apple, after the company reported a huge loss. It was to reorganize the company and once again become a for-profit company.
During the restructuring, many employees said they were concerned about meeting the head of Apple in the lift, for fear they would not have a job for the moment the doors opened.
In 1998, Apple launched a simple to use, iMac, an improvement over previous models, with an aesthetically pleasing design. It was well received and helped restore the company's brand. Jobs has always had an eye for what the consumer wanted.
Jobs was named CEO of Apple in 2000. He jokingly referred to himself in the moment the iCEO.
Over the years, the company continued to produce a series of successful products, especially the iPod, which would come to dominate the MP3 player market. The success and the recommendation would be to follow Apple and employment over the decade.
In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone, with great success. The company followed this success with the release of IPAD in 2010.
In 2010, Jobs was ranked as the 42nd-richest person in the United States, with a net worth of more than 6000 million and U.S.. He also ranked 17th in a list of most powerful people in the world.
In 2004, Jobs announced he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He took a month off for treatment and recovery.
He took another medical leave from January to June 2009, during which he underwent a liver transplant.
In an email sent to Apple employees on January 17, 2011, Jobs said he was taking a medical leave and the third will be adapted to Tim Cook in charge of daily operations. In the memo, Jobs said he would still be involved in major strategic decisions of the company.
A month later, Jobs was among a group of a dozen top technology executives invited to a meeting with the U.S. President Barack Obama in San Francisco as part of its effort to focus on high technology initiatives.

leadership of Mao Zedong
...well as in Western ideas. While at the school, Mao also acquired his first experience in political activity by helping to establish several student organizations. The most important of those was the New People's Study Society, founded in the winter of 1917–18, many of whose members were later to join the Communist Party.

All I can say is it takes time and practice. A lot depends on whether you are a natural when it comes to playing the instrument. For myself, It has been a life long journey and I still suck, but I play for my own enjoyment and that is worth it all. My son is a natural on the guitar, totally self taught and he rocks!
I would say to definitely learn songs using tableture notation. This will greatly speed up your learning curve and enjoyment of playing real music. You can search for tabs on just about any music. Good luck!

Depends what you mean by a pro? If we are talking rock guitar legend then practice all day every day for about 6 or 7 years and you might get there. Add to that a heap of talent and your laughing
I used to play 5+ hours a day everyday and this went on for many years. I play OK, lots of classic rock / blues etc. Problem is I don't really like this kind of music much these days so I just tend to stick to acoustic.

Again in Europe, that might be enough to get the Fortwo on a lot of shoppers shortlists. But the responses we kept getting are pretty representative of the way Americans think: To drive a car that small, you must be crazy, or there must be a big payoff. And with most parking spaces, in most of America, sized for Hummers, parking isn't it.
Almost feels like an exotic
Another reviewer perfectly summed the initial feel of driving the Fortwo as "you sit ON the car, not IN it." When you start the engine a loud starter cranks and the Mitsubishi-sourced, 1.0-liter in-line three-cylinder engine thrums to life with an idle that's, to our ears, part original Volkswagen Beetle, part old Benz diesel in-line five—and it's under the floor, not far behind the seat. It sounds remarkably civil, maybe even a little sporty when revved, and it's only thrashy in its upper ranges.
Unfortunately to move quickly, you're using those upper ranges quite a lot. And almost any time you're accelerating, your head will be bobbing forward at unpredictable moments. See, the Fortwo is the only car in the U.S. market to use what's essentially an ordinary five-speed manual transmission that's been automated with a series of solenoids and actuators. It sounds okay in theory, but in practice, those shifts take longer than those from a normal driver, used to a manual transmission, and in Drive they don't seem to come with a lot of intelligence.
Even on a straightaway, shifts from first to second involve enough of an interruption of power to send our heads forward, as well as the entire car rocking fore and aft. And out of corners—say making a right turn on a green light, onto a slight uphill, the system would want to stay in third gear, then give us nothing for an agonizingly long moment as we completely lost momentum before it could engage second. On the highway, in fifth, you'll find yourself being careful not to press the accelerator too far; you're better off easing up in speed, as a downshift to fourth is accompanied by another one of those interruptions in momentum.
There is a workaround. Click the shift knob to the right and you can use steering-wheel paddle-shifters. Then, within boundaries of lugging the engine too much or pushing the accelerator to the floor, you can command upshifts or downshifts. But again, you have to be used to it, and anticipate the pause; unfortunately there's no true happiness here for either no-fuss automatic buyers or those who prefer the control of a manual.
The Fortwo has manual steering, which you might think would require too much muscle; in low-speed parking you definitely need both arms, but it's never a sweat. At low speeds, the lack of much interference between you and the tires is an asset; you can whip this little car around corners with a confidence you probably wouldn't have guessed, and dynamically on tight 20- or 30-mph hairpin esses, the Fortwo feels almost roadster-like. Almost.
Bob and weave
But it all falls apart at highway speeds, where suddenly the quick-ratio steering combined with its susceptibility to crosswinds and tramlines make this short-wheelbase mini feel nervous—and yes, vulnerable. Cruising smoothly at 70 mph demands a lot more concentration than your typical car, but it can be done. Factor in the combination of engine and road noise and it's enough to scare away all but a particularly determined set from a highway commute. The Smart's brakes are great, though; and in neat, stable panic stops it can feel a bit like you're on a tall racing bike and about to go over the handlebars.
One other caution: The Fortwo isn't at all speed-bump-friendly. taking some 25-mph ones in our neighborhood at the proper speed felt punishing for us and the car—again a factor of the very short spacing between front and rear wheels.

You can find my mini-reviews of a number of SLGFF films—including Chris Colfer's Struck by Lighting (the opening-night gala screening) and Cheryl Dunye's postmodern porn flick Mommy Is Coming—right here. (Meanwhile, Charles gushes about the SLGFF doc I Stand Corrected in Art House.)
For now, one don't-miss film, screening this Sunday at the Egyptian:
Call Me Kuchu
Winner of the Teddy Award for best documentary at the Berlin International Film Festival, Call Me Kuchu tracks the state of gay life in Uganda—a country where newspapers feature gay men's faces next to the headline "Hang Them! They Are After Our Kids!" where lesbian women are subjected to "curative rape" by relatives, and where the legislature is pushing for laws that would make homosexuality punishable by death. From this swamp of fatal hatred, Kuchu draws a humane story that is crushingly upsetting but laced with proof that the international community will no longer tolerate this shit. This is the must-see film of SLGFF 2012.
And here's the trailer:

Who can attend?
The Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Certificate Program is for those with a bachelor's degree who lack the prerequisite science courses to apply to medical school or professional healthcare programs.
Who is the typical Post-Baccalaureate student?
Our students are recent college graduates and individuals who have an established career, but are now looking to change career paths or enhance their current credentials.
How many students are admitted to the Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program?
On average, about 70 students enroll each year.
I've completed some prerequisite science courses for medical school, but not all. Is UVM's Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program right for me?
Many students find our program suits their academic and research needs prior to applying to medical school. However, the answer really depends on the number of credits you still need to complete, as well as your academic performance in these courses. Contact our advisor about your individual circumstances. Call 800-639-3210 to schedule an appointment.
My previous grades are not representative of my ability. Will your admissions committee still consider my application?
The committee seeks to admit those who will make the finest doctors, medical professionals, and healthcare providers and will be flexible where circumstances warrant. Please note that the premedical program is selective, as is getting into medical school and graduate healthcare programs. The average GPA for medical school admission is 3.7. We encourage you to call our advisor at 800-639-3210 to discuss your individual circumstances.
Can I start the program at any time?
Yes, you may begin the program at any of our 3 start terms (Spring, Summer, or Fall) during the year. Most students choose to begin the program in the Summer or Fall term as it aligns best with their schedules. Please note that if you start in the Spring term, you may have a limited course selection to start, due to certain prerequisites not being offered in the Spring.
Does UVM's Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program prepare students for healthcare professional studies other than medical school?
Yes. Our students have prepared for graduate-level physical therapy, veterinary, dental, osteopathy, physician assistant, chiropractic, pharmacy, optometry, and public health degrees.
Can I work while I'm in this program?
It is possible for some students to work while completing this program. However, there is an expectation that students dedicate time for volunteering and patient care. These opportunities will help set you apart when you apply to medical or professional healthcare programs.
What is the success rate of UVM's Post-Baccalaureate Premedical students?
Our graduates have been successful in gaining admission to medical schools and health professional schools at a 90% acceptance rate including acceptance into the highly competitive University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine.
Will I have help with the professional school application and interview process?
Yes. Our advisors are here to assist you in this process.
Are there opportunities to gain medical experience in the Burlington area?
Yes. Burlington is home to UVM's Larner College of Medicine and the award-winning University of Vermont Medical Center, a teaching hospital and Level I Trauma Center focused on patient care. Burlington is Vermont's largest city and home to several healthcare clinics and agencies where our students have found volunteer and work opportunities in direct patient care.
Does the program offer opportunities for research?
UVM is a research university, with its medical school located on the main campus. It is one of the top 10 cancer research facilities in the country and is a leader in many research disciplines including medical cannabis and biomedical research. Many of our students have found research opportunities through the Honors College, while others have gone directly to graduate and medical school faculty to line up research in a particular study.
Why are Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program students considered UVM Continuing and Distance Education students?
The Post-Bacc Premed Program is a University of Vermont Certificate Program, providing a bridge into medical school and healthcare professional schools. The program is facilitated by the Continuing and Distance Education team, where our student services staff is available to support you every step of the way.
How do I receive my Certificate of Completion?
In order to receive your Post Bacc Premed certificate, please complete and submit this form during your last planned semester in the program or following completion of the program. Your certificate should arrive within 30 days.
What schools do graduates matriculate to?

We recently got a sneak peek at Octobachi — the new hibachi, sushi, and pho restaurant on Spring Street. The owners, Israeli-natives and brothers, Sahar and Idan Klein, did a great job renovating the space, which formerly housed Wali's Bean Supreme. The restaurant has a clean and modern feel. White tile walls with black accents frame an industrial ceiling. Cooks work away in a small open-air, chrome kitchen.
At the moment, Octobachi serves wine, sake, and beer on tap (that include Kirin Ichiban — yum). Customers can chomp on wasabi peas at the bar while waiting for food. And by the way, the food is cheap. The motive behind Octobachi was to provide everyone in Charleston with affordable sushi. (Yes, affordable sushi.)
For $3.99 at Octobachi, you can get a festive plate of seaweed salad, garnished with Icelandic caviar. Or chicken pho for $5.99. American Kobe steak hibachi for $9.99. And a variety of simple sushi rolls, both Maki and Nigiri, for under $7.
Hewitt Emerson, who helped conceptualize the restaurant, say he doesn't want people to start flocking to Octo right away. Emerson would rather the Japanese restaurant build clientele with steady momentum.
Octobachi's executive chef Adam Jones makes the shrimp sauce from scratch along with the green tea ice cream. Soon, he'll be experimenting with molecular gastronomy, creating foam-based pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi for sushi condiments.
Emerson and the Klein brothers seem to have carved out the details — from the menu, to the staff, to the logo and décor — necessary to create a restaurant with staying power.
Our first impression says that Ochtobachi will provide patrons in Elliotborough with a high-end Asian inspired dining experience at bottom-of-the-barrel prices. And who wouldn't love that? Check out Octobachi's official opening is tonight, Friday, June 3. They are located at 119 Spring St. (843) 789-3406.
The Gin Joint was my first full-length review for The City Paper, and though you can always count on me to write without bias, it has me thinking about our attachments to restaurants. For instance, it's hard not to be fond of a place you've known since it was born. Granted, The Gin Joint is only about two months old. But restaurants are like kids. I should know — not because I have kids, cause I don't — but because I've been lucky enough to staff a lot of newborn restaurants myself.
As a 16-year-old with a passion for cooking, I managed to talk my way into kitchen for what would be my first restaurant job. Little did I know it would be the beginning of a nine-year career where I'd work every job from prep cook (I was absolutely the worst) to bus girl ("Why don't we try you in front of house, hmm?") to waitress, hostess, bar-back, bartender, head bartender, and finally, manager. I've worked in restaurants everywhere from upstate New York to Manhattan and Nantucket, five of which were newly opening, three of which are still around today.
The passion, excitement, and possibility present when opening a new venue is addictive, and it's a drug I miss. Getting to attend the soft opening of The Gin Joint, I was able to relive the energy of those start-up days — when the menu is constantly in flux, when front-of-house is still learning the menu and the staff is surreptitiously watching the customers first bite, first sip, out of the corner of their eyes.
Soft opening, the food and service were flawless, and on my recent visit the food was reliably delicious once more — the biggest bone I had to pick (ha-ha) being that so many menu items that had been listed online were nowhere to be found on the real menu. I had the opportunity to talk with the chef, MariElena Raya, after turning in my review (quite irregularly, she and husband Joe had been away from the restaurant), since none of the employees had quite known why, either, so many items were out of stock.
"It's hard to keep that full of a menu when we're trying to make everything in house, and when our ingredients have to be so fresh," she explained. "So we're making some adjustments to the menu that reflect what's been most popular."
The success of a new venue centers on the restaurant's ability to flex, and the public's approval and acceptance as new changes are made. MariElena is thinking about going more of the charcuterie route, a la Daniel Boloud's DBGB in New York, and I certainly think, given the restaurant's straddling of the dinner/drinks line, it could be an interesting development. In any case, The Gin Joint is one restaurant I'm looking forward to watching as it continues to grow up.
For nearly two decades, the Old Post Office on Edisto Island had people lining up around the block, waiting to get inside for modern Southern fare like corn and crabmeat chowder or Orangeburg onion sausage. Over the years, Chef Philip Bardin accumulated a legion of fans and was well-liked for his winning personality in addition to his tasty food.
The restaurant first took over Edisto's old post office (literally) in the late 80s. By the time I arrived in the Lowcountry in the late 90s, the place was legendary. We wrote stories about its popularity and sent writers to visit. The last time we reviewed the restaurant — in 2005, I think? — our critic praised the food but complained about the dated dining room. It was still decked out in the teal and mauve colors of the 80s.
It wasn't too long before the restaurant closed, leaving Edisto without a serious dining option. In 2007, locals Adam and Toniann Morris took over the space and have spent the last two years renovating and updating it. Gradually, the big hair and shoulder pad look gave way to a sleek, modern silhouette. The thoroughly updated dining room features dark wood floors and soothing blue walls, a perfect backdrop for the new menu.
The Morrises are not restaurant people by trade. They have both had careers in education, but they tapped Phil Bardin to return to run the kitchen. With his help, they've created a new menu that hews close to the old — local ingredients, traditional southern dishes, modern flair. The menu looks great: crispy duck livers, fresh smoked fish, shrimp paté, and grilled quail legs are just some of the appetizers. The entrees range from Firecracker Flounder (with jalapeno tomato sauce) and Veal Edistonian (pecan-coated cutlet) to crispy Grand Marnier chicken and pork ribeyes in country ham gravy.
They reopened on April 21st, and if their phone message is any indication, they've already got lines out the door. We'll be visiting them soon to get a full report. They're open for dinner Tues.-Sat.
The Charles Towne General Store out Savannah Highway in West Ashley is expanding to open a full restaurant called The Dixie Dog Diner.
They'll serve down home breakfast and lunch every day. For breakfast, you'll get homemade buttermilk biscuits with Neese's Country Sausage, sugar cured ham and bacon, a fried tenderloin biscuit and "red eye" gravy and grits. For lunch there's fried bologna, homemade pimento cheese, and a "big butt" pulled pork sandwich.
Perhaps this new venture will help solidify their place on the map.
Monday night, with no groceries in the fridge and a hungry crew, we decided to head out to Folly Beach to check out one of the new restaurants. In the last couple weeks, Center Street Kitchen, Blu, and Rita's Grill have all opened. We missed Blu's big opening night bash on April 2 because we were out of town for spring break, but reports were that the renovation of the old Holiday Inn was simply amazing.
We decided to stop in for dinner at Center Street Kitchen, stroll over to Rita's and check it out, and finish the night with dessert at Blu.
First stop was impressive. I wholly approve of the menu prices at Center Street Kitchen. Here we are, in the center of Folly Beach, and there's nothing more than $10. That's damn good and enough to win the loyalty of locals. The food was tasty, if a bit heavy for the beach. We ordered baked pimento cheese with grilled sausage and crackers and black-eyed pea cakes for appetizers. Good, but in retrospect I wish we'd gone for the BBQ pork sundae served in a parfait glass.
For dinnner, several at the table went for veggie plates. And, of course, these are southern "veggies," so that included cheese grits, red rice, and mac and cheese. I tried to keep it light and ordered collard greens and okra and tomatoes to go with my CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK. Ironic, I know. The fried catfish with crab succotash was a big hit at the table, and everyone was pleased with the black-eyed peas and the baby limas.
Biggest regret of the dinner: that they were out of the pickled vegetable jar appetizer. I love pickled veggies.
After dinner, we walked outside and found a blustery wind whipping around. Over at Rita's Grill, we ran into Chip, one of the owners, and he gave us a tour of the expansive patio, complete with outdoor showers and bathrooms for sandy beach bums. Good idea. This will no doubt be a popular place to hang this summer.
Final stop was the Holiday Inn. What a dramatic renovation. The lobby of the hotel is mod and fresh, opening right out to a fantastic view of the ocean. The Blu dining room features a nautilus theme in a palette of blue and cream. I loved it. The wide-plank floors have been left unvarnished, giving the whole place an upscale but natural vibe. Neon lights are used in a sophisticated way and it just feels so unlike Folly.
The dining room was pretty empty (it was about 8 p.m. at this point). We sat down and ordered some coffee and a pricey dessert sampler that gave us two creme brulees, a molten chocolate cake, and some other items I can't recall. It was good, but I think I need to go back for a full meal (hint hint husband).
Just got an email from Stratton Lawrence, one of our Folly Beach-living writers, about yet another new restaurant: "Just ate at the Drop-In Deli on Folly. Definitely a big step up from Dolphin Deli. Mushroom-brie soup was killer. Southwest salad was good. A big ass bowl of spinach artichoke dip for 3 bucks. And assorted pickled veggies with every order."
Looks like this weekend everyone will be flocking to the beach, so it's a good time to check out one of these new places before the crowds of summer hit full force.

Sleepy tea was *hilarious*.
If it's Bryan-Fullery, it's must see TV.
judging only by outline) No discussion of all of the recent renewals between this week and last?
What are the prospects for shows that got only two extra episodes?
Tausif – Which shows are you referring to?
Last Resort and Raising Hope
I am also worried about Nashville in general.
Tausif – "Raising Hope" got two additional episodes on top of the original 22. Whereas "Last Resort" only got two additional scripts, but no additional episodes thus far. "Nashville" hasn't gotten anything. But it's all a shell game…
What do you mean it's all a shell game?
I have heard about the numbers I was wondering what you guys had heard about what the networks were thinking about these shows.
Raising Hope just barely survived from last year and neither Last Resort nor Nashville fit with what ABC is doing on those nights.
I was wondering if these shows had network support in that even though ratings are struggling the network execs are behind them.
I remember when Shawn Ryan was talking about Last Resort he had said that as soon as Paul Lee heard the pitch he knew he was going to buy the show.
I was wondering if you had any non-statistical data to give context to the idea of whether these shows are coming back for more.
Tausif – It means that NBC ordered FIVE new scripts for "Guys with Kids," while ABC ordered two new scripts for "Last Resort." It's all just numbers.
"Nashville" fits fine with what ABC is doing on Wednesday, in the sense that it's an upscale primetime soap in the mode of "Revenge," which was a success there last year. And "Nashville" fits well with what ABC is doing as a network and a brand. Of course, if "Nashville" takes another huge drop this week, it obviously won't look especially good anymore.
"Last Resort" doesn't fit so well. But it's in a time slot where NOTHING has fit well for ABC other than "Wipeout" for the better part of a decade, so ABC can stand behind a show that it supports, at least for a while. Again, if the numbers drop, that doesn't apply anymore. But last week there was a tiny bump and the DVR numbers are good. If I had to bet? I'd bet on ABC sticking with both "Last Resort" and "Nashville" for a while to see what happens. Again, if either show falls off a cliff, ratings-wise, all bets are off.
The very brief mention has me curious: Dan, did you ever read all the way through A Dance with Dragons?
Hatfield – I've read up to "Dance of Dragons," but I haven't read that one yet…
We get plenty of Jack Gleeson's Joffrey, and he's giving a great performance. Nolan Gould and Rico Rodriguez are pretty good too.
WaltEagle – All true. Absolutely…
Here is a theory on the preponderance of "girl" actors on shows currently. It seems that many of the most critically acclaimed shows right now have very strong male leads. Father-daughter relationships often lead to great dramatic moments/scenes, whether it be literal (Don and Sally Draper) or by proxy (Arya and Tywin Lannister).
Tonight's Parenthood reminded me that Max and Drew are good young male characters–if Max is supposed to be adolescent? Their parts are admittedly slighter than Sally Draper, but they actors and the writing give them more to do than just pout and rebel against authority figures.
Have you guys considered having a female co-host? I think it would add an interesting perspective and dynamic, the podcast is too testosterone-y. Maybe Liane Starr? Maybe then we could get a little Vampire Diaries discussion once in a while, and a woman's perspective on female oriented shows. Just a suggestion.

Rough & Final Inspections for Fire Sprinkler Systems
This one day seminar provides attendees with vital information on how to conduct the field inspections for new fire sprinkler and standpipe systems.
Fire sprinklers and standpipes are installed in stages and inspections are required before commencing to the next stage. The codes require periodic on-site inspections as the work progresses, to be installed according to the approved construction documents. This work is required to be inspected and approved before being covered or before the system is commissioned. This course points out the visual and physical inspection requirements of the latest codes and standards.
Participants must bring the latest edition of NFPA 13, NFPA 14 and IBC or IFC to presentation.

TRPV5 is a member of the transient receptor family and the TrpV subfamily. Additionally we are shipping TRPV5 Antibodies (73) and TRPV5 Kits (1) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 5 out of 7 products:
TRPV5 and TRPV6 (show TRPV6 Proteins) were upregulated with time and passage in culture suggesting that a shift in the phenotype of the cells in monolayer culture alters the expression of these channels.
In Equus caballus, TRPV5 mRNA is highly expressed in the kidney but scarce in the duodenum and heart. Protein expression followed a similar pattern.
beta-gal (show GLB1 Proteins) is present in the pro-urine from where it is thought to stimulate TRPV5 activity.
A novel primary cell model with TRPV5-dependent Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+) transport characteristics was successfully established.
Phosphorylation of beta1-AR by PKA stimulates active Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+)influx through TRPV5.
The expression of TRPV5 channel is regulated by estrogen via estrogen receptor (show ESR1 Proteins) in osteoblasts.
Uromodulin (show UMOD Proteins) upregulates TRPV5 by decreasing caveolin-1 (show CAV1 Proteins) dependent endocytosis of TRPV5.
In colitis in mice, tumor necrosis factor (show TNF Proteins) and interferon-gamma (show IFNG Proteins) reduced expression of Klotho (show KL Proteins), which otherwise would protect TRPV5 from hypersialylation and cytokine-induced TRPV5 endocytosis, UBR4-dependent ubiquitination, degradation, and Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+) wasting.
The TRPV5 S682P mutant is a functionally significant factor in autosomal dominant hypercalciuria.
promoter driven Cre recombinase (show RAG1 Proteins) expression will be useful for inducing DCT2 and CNT specific gene silencing of various channels, pumps, carriers, and receptors
Calcitonin (show CALCA Proteins) augments the renal reabsorptive capacity for Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+). This increase is likely to occur independently of TRPV5.
TrpV5 mediates basal renal calcium absorption in null mutant mice lacking calcium channel beta3 subunits (CaVbeta3) and multimeric calcium channel entry via distal convoluted renal tubules.
The alterations may lead to misfolding of TRPV5, reduction in translocation of the channel to the plasma membrane and/or impaired Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+) transport function of the channel, and ultimately disrupt TRPV5-mediated Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+) reabsorption.
These findings indicate that the A563T variation induces structural, dynamical, and electrostatic changes in the TRPV5 pore, providing structural insight into the functional alterations associated with the A563T variation.
Data found that a TRPV5 polymorphism (rs4236480) was observed to be associated with stone multiplicity of calcium nephrolithiasis, as the risk of stone multiplicity was higher in patients with the TT+CT genotype than in patients with the CC genotype
High TRPV5 expression is aassociated with adenoma of parathyroid glands.
Klotho (show KL Proteins) up-regulates TRPV5 from both the inside and outside of cells.
Decreased expression of TRPV5 is associated with non-small cell lung cancer.
Upregulating the expression of TRPV5 can be utilized to manipulate transmembrane Ca2 (show CA2 Proteins)+ transport, and may serve as an alternative for the treatment of Ca2 (show CA2 Proteins)+ balance-related diseases.
These results suggest that TRPV5 and TRPV6 (show TRPV6 Proteins) are crucial gates controlling cadmium and zinc levels in the human body.
these data showed that TRPV5/TRPV6 (show TRPV6 Proteins) in human lymphocytes are functionally active, and their activity is associated with proliferative status of blood cells.
Data indicate that transient receptor potential vanilloid type 5 (TRPV5) plasma membrane retention is regulated via lipid rafts.
mutation of a pore helix residue glutamate-535 to glutamine (E535Q) enhances the sensitivity of the channel to inhibition by extracellular protons
Results suggest that intracellular acidification directly inhibits TRPV5 by causing a conformational change(s) leading to a decrease of open probability of TRPV5 as well as of the single-channel conductance.
Activation of the CaR stimulates TRPV5-mediated Ca(2+) influx via a PMA-insensitive PKC isoform pathway.
This gene is a member of the transient receptor family and the TrpV subfamily. The calcium-selective channel encoded by this gene has 6 transmembrane-spanning domains, multiple potential phosphorylation sites, an N-linked glycosylation site, and 5 ANK repeats. This protein forms homotetramers or heterotetramers and is activated by a low internal calcium level.

Over the years I've had different fantasies about getting a new drafting table to work on, about different types of projects I'd like to try and even the feeling of spending time creating. I haven't actually done much of anything in the past 18 years though.
I don't know if I'm any good or if I just like doing it, but I feel like it is finally time I got back to doing something. I've decided to start small with a really small sketchbook and a couple of pencils -- one hard, and one soft. I'd like to say I'd spend time on one sketch a day, but given my current schedule I think that would be setting myself up for failure so I am going to try for one sketch a week. I'm even going to post the sketch here and that will be doubly good.
The first sketch I'm posting is actually from this past summer. It is an idea I had to paint on our back fence. I had hoped to translate it into actual paint on the fence, but my ridiculous health issues and a new job got in the way so I put it on hold. However, I am really going to try to get it done this summer as I think it will look really cool. I plan to sketch it a few more times with some actual fence so it will be more clear on how it lays out, but this is my first draft.
I know it doesn't look like much, but I am a little rusty. More next week.

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said Monday that Tate Forcier suffered a concussion in the Wolverines' loss to Iowa, but if the quarterback is cleared to play Saturday, he'll keep his starting job.
"I don't think it was a severe one, but he still has a headache," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez expects Forcier to be OK and said doctors will decide by Wednesday if Forcier can play Saturday at home against Delaware State.

...It could have been Vit K which really has no side effects besides the pain of the injection...[/b]
According to the manufacturers package insert the risks and side effects associated with the vitamin k injection are as follows:
pain, swelling and tenderness at the injection site, chest pain, flushing, strange movements, rapid pulse, tightness of the chest, cramps. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
A preservative (benzyl alcohol) which may be found in this product or in the liquid used to mix this product (diluent) can infrequently cause serious problems (sometimes death) if given by injection to an infant during the first months of life (neonatal period). The risk is greater with lower birth weight infants and is greater with increased amounts of benzyl alcohol. Symptoms include sudden gasping, low blood pressure, or a very slow heartbeat.
I am so sorry that you were ignored and that your right to refuse was so blatantly violated. I'm so excited for you and your homebirth - I hope you love it

Having a presence on Instagram as a wedding photographer is an excellent way to place your images in front of ideal clients. Many feel it is the perfect platform for wedding photographers to use to grow their business. It is a great social media platform to share more about you as a person and photographer, and to help build trust with your followers. Using targeted wedding photography hashtags on Instagram allows you to reach a new audience with every single image that you share.
Variety helps keep your followers interested (and allows them to get to know you better). Gain some new inspiration as you check out the 9 Instagram posts top wedding photographers try on their accounts.
1. Introduction
As you get new followers, introductions are a simple way to share more about who you are as a person and photographer. When you share facts about you, your followers begin to trust you, which keeps you top of mind.
Wedding photographer, Natalie Franke, uses #FridayIntroductions, where she shares 5 facts about herself. The facts about her give followers an insight into her personality, which allows her to build relationships with them.
Related: Are you using these 19 hashtags on your Instagram account?
2. Inspiration
Since your followers may be potential clients, vendors, and fellow photographers, mix up the type of inspiration you share. Everyone loves a good inspirational quote, or even to hear about your day and experiences.
Utah wedding photographer, Abbey Kyhl, shares inspiration on her Instagram account. Not only does she provides inspiration, but also invites her followers to join into the conversation. It is a great way to keep her followers engaged with her account.
3. Education
Because the wedding photography industry changes so rapidly, it can be helpful to share your expertise with your fellow photographers. To attract followers to your educational courses, online trainings, and workshops, post about them on your Instagram account.
ShootDotEdit Customer, The Scobeys, inform their followers of their newest course and share the benefits of it. They also encourage followers to click the link in their bio, which will lead them to sign up for the course.
Related: How can you share more about your photography business on Facebook and Pinterest?
4. Boomerang
On your account, you can also use Boomerang for Instagram to create unique videos. According to Instagram, Boomerang takes a burst of images, speeds them up, and plays them forward and backward to create a looping video. Boomerang is a great way to liven up your account and have some fun.
Wedding photography duo, Justin and Mary Marantz, used Boomerang to create this video on their account. It is an opportunity for them to take part in Instagram's exciting features, and diversify the what they share on their account.
5. Guest Takeover
Another way to spice up your account is to feature a guest takeover, or do one yourself. This places your brand in front of another photographer or vendor's audience, which helps you attract new followers to your Instagram account.
We recently featured wedding photographer David Manning on our Instagram account while at WPPI 2017. Take a look at our account to see some of what he shared. Be sure to follow us to see other great images and content from pro wedding photographers.
6. Behind-the-Scenes
As you share on your Instagram account, add in a few behind-the-scenes photos. These can be details of a wedding you are prepping for, or a product you are launching. You can also post about behind-the-scenes of your personal life, to continue to build trust with followers.
ShootDotEdit Pro, Mckenzie Deakins, shares about her trip to Disneyland. In the text, she encourages followers to head over to her Snapchat to see more videos of her experience, which attracts her followers to another social account.
Tip: Any photos you share on your Instagram account should represent your brand. Outsource your photo editing to a wedding photography post production company to ensure each image is consistent and shares who you are as a photographer!
7. Product
To mix up what you share on your account, share about products. You can feature some of the products you offer your clients, such as albums, prints, or even unique gifts you send to clients and vendors. Plus, you can shout out to the vendors who are behind the products.
Vanessa Joy Photography, a ShootDotEdit Wedding Pro, highlights a wooden album and the vendor who created it on her account. It showcases the product to her followers, so they can have these items top of mind when they book her.
8. Travel
Whether you are a destination photographer, or just love to explore, travel posts are a great addition to your Instagram account. They invite followers to experience stunning locations with you, and may encourage them to book you so they can go to certain locations.
International wedding photographer, Abby Grace, shares about her travel experience. The photo showcases the beautiful landscape, and allows her to connect with followers who also love to travel.
9. Personal
Outside of your wedding photography business, you have a life that many of your followers may not know anything about. In your rotation, share a bit about your family and friends, or activities you enjoy. These are things that allow you to connect with your followers.
Orange County wedding photographer and ShootDotEdit Customer, Ning Wong Studios, shares about his family on his Instagram account. He highlights his wife on Mother's Day, which shares more about his personal life with followers.
When you spice up what you share on your Instagram account, you provide followers with a look into who you are as a person and photographer. Continue to build trust with followers with the tips in our free Guide: Instagram for the Wedding Photographer. Download it today!
