· Would you do it?
Hey ya'll. So my gf's friend asked me to be her wedding photographer because she liked the pictures I've taken. I mostly do landscape and street and never did weddings except casually. I explained that to her and highly recommended that she hires a professional wedding photographer to no avail. I told her this is a heavy responsibility to take on my shoulders since this is a once-in-a-lifetime event (at least hopefully) but she's insisting and even worse, my gf is on her side.
We concluded that I'll do it for free, I thought that this lifts some pressure off my shoulder and we will do some pre-wedding photo shoot and see how they'll like it. I hate to be in this position especially that she's a friend and my gf is involved and you know how business/friends is usually an oxymoron
The wedding is three months from now and till then I will spend some time reading and training more about wedding phot. I've been following this great thread for a while and I learnt a lot already. I need your advice on which gear I will need to build on my current gear (I can rent or buy equipment). I feel I need to add a 70-200 VRII, another DX body, a couple of flashes and a light meter. Also, do you think a Sigma 85 1.4 on a DX body would compensate for the need for the 70-200 VRII?
My gear:
Nikon D600
Fuji X100
Zeiss 21 2.8
Zeiss 25 2.8
Zeiss 50/2 Makro
Sigma 35 1.4A
Sigma 85 1.4
Nikon 24 3.5 PC-E
Nikon 28 1.8G
Nikon 70-300 VR
Any advice however small will be highly appreciated!

You could shoot the entire wedding with the X100. Or the D600 and the 35. Or, if you wanted some luxury, with the 35 and the 85. It really has nothing to do with the gear.

I would rent another D600 and just go 35/85 all day. Simplicity will definitely help when you have little/no experience.

Thanks guys, that's comforting. tobicus, I've seen some wedding photos shot with only the X100 and they're really nice especially the B&W ones, but I don't think I'll take that risk with my modest experience. It seems that two bodies with the 35 & 85 is a feasible option.

Mate, I think you did the best thing doing it as a freebie, expectations will be as a result possible to keep under control.
I will share with you however something my mentor told me after I'd been dragooned into doing some portraits in a sub optimal position by a pushy client. He said 'you are in control, you have to be in control, the buck stops with you so unless you take full control of the situation you are going to be the one who screwed up'. I've lived with that for a decade of wedding work. It has never once let me down.

Maybe just me but unless you're scouting ahead of time with the precise lighting you'll be dealing with during the wedding and reception, I don't see a light meter helping much. No time to futz around with it during the event.
Good luck and have fun with it.

I agree with Mike (Tobicus) that gear isn't the biggest issue. Most church weddings are open for anyone to attend, so go to one or more and do your own critique on what the photographer does before and during the ceremony. If they don't run you off, hang around for the formals.
Since you asked specifically about gear, it's one of those "less is more" situations. You could easily shoot everything with your 35 & 85, and use the X100 as your backup. Maybe take the 70-300 VR along if distance is going to be an issue and you want to maintain a low profile (highly recommended) during the ceremony. VR is beneficial, but it won't take the place of a tripod in dim light.
Here's a few things that might not be covered in typical wedding blogs:
1) As shipped, Nikon's default setting for "Slot Empty Release Lock" can ruin your day because it allows the shutter to be actuated when the card slots are empty. If you haven't already done so, be sure to change it so that the shutter is LOCKED when the SD slots are empty.
2) Consider how you want to use your SD slots. My preference is to write RAW files to the primary, and JPEG's to the secondary.
3) As a first-timer, you'll probably capture far more images than needed, so take that into consideration when deciding on the size & quantity of SD cards.
4) Get in the habit of NEVER deleting anything with the camera's delete key.
5) Learn to use AUTO-ISO when (a) you're not using flash and (b) the lighting is constantly changing. It works great in Aperture Priority and Manual modes. Your D600 should be good up to ISO 6400.
6) Flash? Many 'tog's shoot without them, and it's not allowed in quite a few churches anyway. Generally speaking, exposure (with or without flash) is a little more complicated because you're shooting the extreme of white dresses and black tuxedo's. Without supplemental fill light, you can end up with dark eyes, especially with people that have deep eye sockets. The problem is exacerbated when the floor & walls are dark and the light source is directly overhead. It helps to stand on a ladder, chair, pew, or anything that causes the subjects to slightly raise their chins toward the light source.
7) Light meter? They're useful for formals, otherwise not of much value.
8) You didn't mention a grey card, but it's a cheap investment that can save you a lot of time and grief with white balance settings in post-processing.
9) If you're shooting in a church, be sure to contact them ahead of time to get their rules.
10) Have a game plan, and then relax and enjoy the experience!!

These first wedding questions always seem to be about gear and I'm not sure I will ever understand why. Lighting and being able to pull out shots under constraints and pressure is the primary concern imo - practice lots.

First, I looked at what you've posted in the past. You have a good eye, and you are obviously very adept at working in low light. I think you have what it takes from that perspective. Do what you know. Don't try too much new stuff with lighting. Only what is needed. Remember, she's already seen your style.
I understand your hesitation, but you should also ask yourself if you
to do it. Documenting a wedding can be more than just about a desire to make money. I do it because I love to experience the connection between people. If this is important to you, then that should weigh in a little more in your decision.
Finally, if you do decide to do it, I'd suggest getting the second body of your favorite as well. You're already going to be under pressure. Work with what you know best, but have a backup to it. If you feel fine with two different bodies, and it adds to your ultimate result, then so be it. It doesn't hurt to have a third body.
With your shooting style, I think the 85 would be fine. I wouldn't even worry about the long zoom.
Meter however you like. Using spot meter on your palm or hand works just as well.

Thanks a lot for the vote of cinfidence amonline and all the great advice. I agree that the most important thing is loving what you do and enjoying it. I've invested much time, effort and $ into photography even though I only ocassionally get paid for my work, but the return is more on the intangible side, and it's defintely worth it. I love the guys who are getting married and we get along great so I guess that will facilitate my work.
Beni, that's exactly the kind of advice I am looking for. The one which cannot be written in ink but rather comes from experience. As a landscape photogrpaher I never thought of taking control of the situation due to the nature of my subjects
Brad, asI mentioned, I already suggested that to no avail. I even declined at first...
John Karasch, thanks a bunch for spending the time for such a detailed reply. Many simple points you mentioned we take forgranted but they come back to hunt us when we're not paying attention such as the "Slot Empty Release Lock", grey card, rules of photographing at the place, etc...
I guess I'll try my best to use the fast glass and avoid using the flash unless necessary due to my limited experience in flash photogrpahy. I have a decent background but ya'll know how mastering it takes so much experience and I am no where near that except some background in macro photography. I might use bounce flash but nothing fancy. I will also stick to my glass and maybe add a D7000 for my sigma 85 1.4 for canidids and use the D7000 also as a back up. I will keep it as simple as possible, the Zeiss 21 & 50 Makro will come in handy for some creative shots I guess.
Much much appreciated guys... Really

....the alternative was a free photographer. Not trying to be a smart ass in any way shape or form....but thats the reality of it. Most brides dont know the nuances of what it takes to be a good wedding photographer....thus the hoards of brides who go with "uncle bob".
You might be well served to look at the reception shots specifically of any of your favorite members here....you'll notice pretty quickly that most if not all the good ones utilize off camera flash techniques. Just one of the things that you might want to consider.....

You're doing it for free, but treat the job as if you're being paid $5000. Like what Beni said, be in control. You're the man, regardless of the pay. Work hard, be diligent, and deliver the goods.

Get a signed contract stating the price and limiting your liability in case they don't like the images. Notice I did not say if the imahes were bad, thery could be great but a family member may not like them. You might miss aunt Sally and now she is mad so takes it out on the brides mom so mom and dad go after you. People want free then expect perfection as if your were paid thousands.
The joy of free wears off fast because being free also devalues you and your work giving more to compalin about. People place quality and value with the price paid. Not right but true.
Not saying free is a bad thing to get a portfolio but it has its drawbacks. Protect yourself with a contract.

There are a couple of "stickies" at the top of the wedding forum that have an excellent collection of valuable ideas. Take a look.
You've received a ton of excellent advice and information via these posts. Add these ideas to your game plan.
Does the bride expect to give you a list of photos that she wants? Or, is she leaving that to you?
This discussion has not included what the bride wants to receive after the wedding. A CD with images? Album? Coffee table quality book? Images for Facebook? Parent's album? Framed photos? If yes, then who decides on the which images are to be used and where they are placed? Etc. Does your job end with presenting her with a CD? Or is she expecting more?

Make sure you have a second backup body. I have 3-4 when I shoot a wedding. But definitely go ahead if you are trying to build your portfolio.

I would rent another D600 and just go 35/85 all day. Simplicity will definitely help when you have little/no experience.
Ditto. Or the 28/1.8 (for wide-angle group shots if location is tight) and the 85.
Personally for weddings, I do the 24/1.4 and 85/1.4 or the 24 with a 70-200 if the space is a bit larger or I want more portraits.
Shoot in A mode.
And about that auto-ISO, what someone else said about the 6400--keep it as your MAX! And set the minimum shutter speed for 2x your focal length if possible (so if you have a 35mm lens on, set minimum speed to 1/70 if you can help it). Only time this doesn't work is if ISO 6400 and 1/70 speed doesn't let in enough light (when it's that dark... time to radio trigger those lights!
. But in conjunction with a good bounce, softbox flash, or mounted + slaved flash, can produce quality results.
Highly suggest 1-2 softbox reflective umbrellas slaved or radio triggered for your group shots (and just adjust where they're pointed, and distance in case lighting is bad. Won't cost over $150-250 to add 2 decent stands w/ umbrellas w/ a radio trigger set (since you say you have speedlights already).
Might be a good idea to just shoot the entire wedding with the Sigma 35/1.4 so you won't have to worry about changing lenses all the time. I've always liked the 35 over the 50 for perspective. Don't bring more than 3 lenses with you, else you'll be swapping them and always worrying that you have the wrong one on.
And shoot in RAW (.NEF) format so this way you can fix white balance if you need to--it's a lot easier than fixing a .JPEG. Shoot in RAW + F (Large) and make sure you have some 2-4 of those 32 GB Sandisk SD cards (the 95 MB/s Extreme Pro ones). If you're ever unsure of a shot, can always set to CH setting and set it to 3 pictures. That helps if it's indoors party w/ changing dance lights and you're not flashing that quickly (or if you are, lower speedlight power by opening the aperture or upping the ISO so your speedlight won't burn out).

First External USB 3.0 Hard Drive from Freecom
German company Freecom has announced, by its own reckoning, the first external USB 3.0 hard drive.
The 3.5" device with the name Hard Drive XS 3.0 is intended for desktop use for memory extension and backup media. It should be available on the European market in mid-November in 1-TByte, 1.5-TByte and 2-TByte versions, at around 120 Euro for the 1-TByte model.
The device should run at transfer rates of 130 MBytes per second. Freecom managing director Axel Lucassen uses an example to illustrate: "We now can transfer a 5GB movie in just 38 seconds iit is unbelievably fas.t" The XS 3.0 hard drive is backward-compatible and can run on USB 2.0 at a reduced transfer rate. As an add-on it features hardware encryption at a 256-bit AES. To further equip computers Freecom provides controller cards for USB 3.0 in desktop and notebook versions.
Linux can brag that, as of Kernel 2.6.31, it is the first platform to support USB 3.0. The new specification, also known as "SuperSpeed USB," theoretically allows transfer of 5 GBits per second. The USB Implementers Forum non-profit founded by USB developers lists the first USB 3.0 devices on its webpage, such as host controller models. Whether Freecom's controller cards run under Linux is currently unknown.
USB 3.0Information is very useful for USB device hunters.

Queen's partners with The Jack Project on pilot initiative
Queen's is one of 12 post-secondary education institutions participating in a national pilot project that aims to support student mental health and wellness.
The pilot is an initiative of The Jack Project, an organization dedicated to helping youth achieve optimum mental health. It was established by the Windeler family after their son Jack died of suicide in his first year at Queen's in 2010.
"We welcome the opportunity to work collaboratively with The Jack Project, its outreach team and mental health professionals," says Ann Tierney, Vice-Provost and Dean of Student Affairs, who represented Queen's at the post-secondary education launch of the project today in Toronto. "We will integrate the Jack Project plans, workshops and presentations with the work already being done at Queen's to further promote dialogue about mental health on campus."
Queen's participation in The Jack Project is one of many mental health programs that are underway at the university. The Principal's Commission on Mental Health at Queen's is looking at what's happening on campus and what can be done to enhance the student experience, promote student mental health and improve supports for students in need. The commission continues to meet with community members and will make recommendations to Principal Daniel Woolf next spring.
The university has had a Mental Health Working Group in place since 2007, and it made additional counselling services and supports available for student this fall.
Queen's students are also raising awareness on campus about mental health issues. They are selling green T-shirts to help fight mental health stigma. Queen's Wears Green organizers have planned a rally and breakfast at the Athletics and Recreation Centre on November 4 with several speakers including The Jack Project founder Eric Windeler and Lorne Zon, chief executive officer of the Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario.
"We are really happy with the support we have already received from the campus community," says Commerce Society President Kelsey Paterson. "We had 600 T-shirts preordered. We want students to know they can talk about these issues. There shouldn't be a stigma."

The Pentecostal church of North America faces an unprecedented reality of plateau. Growth continues nationally but is not keeping pace with population rates. According to Len Sweet, the picture is bleak for all churches. He contends that of every 100 churches, 75 are declining, 24 are growing from those leaving the declining churches and only ONE of every 100 churches is growing from actually reaching pre-Christians within their local culture. Especially for Pentecostal churches, this must not continue and revitalization is imperative. However, what revitalization strategy should a Pentecostal church utilize? Many "models" exist but the IAOG embraces what we believe to be a book of Acts model. This model begins with fervent, spiritually dynamic prayer (private devotions and public gatherings) connecting people dynamically to the Spirit of Jesus and to each other in supportive community. This Acts model facilitates the community of Christ discovering ministry gifts and evangelizing their world – locally, regionally, nationally and globally. Revitalizing a church requires our embracing values more than methods and building effective ministries in this present cultural context. Lifting a church requires many hands including those of the pastor, deacons, historic and recent attendees plus the willing hands of district leaders and fellow pastors. This "cohort" approach provides a framework of support and spiritual encouragement helpful to any Pentecostal leader.

New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks hauled in 67 receiving yards Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, but had to depart the game late in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring strain. Reports indicate he will have an MRI on the hamstring to determine the extent of the injury. He will also have x-rays taken of the injury.
Nicks has had a solid season thus far with 32 receptions for 508 yards and three touchdowns. A hamstring injury is always dicey when you are talking about wide receivers who rely on those legs to get down the field. It would not be surprising to see Nicks limited or a DNP in practice for part of the upcoming week as the Giants prepare for a trip to the New England Patriots.
This is a money matchup for Nicks as the Patriots secondary has been awful this season. The Giants have some solid matchups the rest of the way, but barring some drastic change in performance, the Patriots defense might be the best matchup Nicks faces all season. Let's hope he is good to go for the game. We will have updates throughout the week as more information comes available.

Terms not yet released.
Mike Sislo has reportedly re-signed with the Devils for $1.125 Million over two years.
Sounds like he wants solid commitment to be unquestioned long-term starter with 60 games to sign. Don't know if this is really news. Everybody kind of knew this would be part of his asking price.
As per usual the contract details are not released yet. What do you guys think of the deal?
Interesting Story in the North Jersey local sports pages.
Let me know under comments if you like it. Secondly let me know whether you think it would be possible
Just heard doc mention this on the Habs/Bruins game. Stan, a member of the Devils extended family, our thoughts are with you.
The Devils get the 30th pick in the 2014 draft instead of one based on where they finish. They also get the fine money back.
A growing conglomeration of the stats I keep on the Devils over the course of the season. At the moment I have a snapshot matrix of the remaining NHL schedule and the sheet I put together on the records with the different Defensive combinations the Devils have used this year. Enjoy.
would be mine :)

It has been one year since a Florida A&M University drum major was beaten to death aboard a bus during a hazing ritual. A total of 13 people are facing charges in the death of Robert Champion. One has been sentenced, having received house arrest and probation.
Because of the hazing controversy, FAMU's marching band will not be performing at the Florida Classic this year in Orlando.
An anti-hazing workshop that was held Friday morning wasn't the only indication that this year's Florida Classic has a different feel. While there's was a very familiar band missing at the battle of the bands on Friday night, there was a familiar spirit.
The music played on at the Amway Center, but the fans we spoke with admitted that crowds have been down at this year's events, and the absence of the famous FAMU band is a big reason why.
"It's a little disappointing, because Rattlers aren't playing this year, but of course, Bethune is here to represent, so I'm happy about that," said Donald Varisce, who is visiting from Miami.
The Classic is a tradition for many, with or without the famed Marching 100. Linda Stallworth hasn't missed a classic since she was 3, and the smaller crowds aren't getting her down.
"It doesn't matter! I'll be here next year and the year after that and the year after that. Go FAMU!" Stallworth said.
Since its inception in 1978, over 1.5 million fans have watched FAMU and Bethune-Cookman University become the largest football game between 2 historically black colleges, bringing with it millions of dollars to Central Florida.
Attendance will likely fall well below last year's number of 60,000. The tradition will continue with Saturday's kickoff at 2 p.m. at the Citrus Bowl. Florida Citrus Sports declined to release the number of tickets sold.

New York
3.83/5 rDev +13%
On tap at t'IJ brewery, Amsterdam.
Hazy dirty wheat with crusty white froth.
Waxy lemon skin with some flowers on the nose.
Sour grain, lemon cough drop plus a big yeasty hit.
Grapefruit peel finish and drying bitter linger.
More chew than expected, lt-med, round.
Lots of hops, lots of yeast. Because the malts are lighter than other t'IJ beers, this actually comes across as among their most bitter. Hopping is Waimea, Cascade and Chinook; not sure I'd have guessed a NZ, all its potential nuance is lost under big IBUs. And the yeast hit is heavy enough that this works more like a wit than an English blonde (as a scale).
Nevertheless, does what it says on the tin.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County avoided a price increase in exchange for agreeing to dump its trash at the Franklin County Regional Landfill for another five years.
County Attorney Daniel Manning III said Monday that the deal worked out with the Franklin County Solid Waste Authority keeps the price at $42 a ton when the current contract expires in 2014.
"You get (landfill) space for five years for the same price?" Supervisor George Canon (R-Newcomb) said. "Jump on it."
Serkil LLC of Castleton transports the garbage to the Malone area landfill, and that contract expires in September 2014, Manning told the County Board of Supervisors Ways and Means Committee.
"You have to go out to requests for proposals for the (hauling) services," he said.
The county generates about 10,000 tons of solid waste a year from transfer stations in 15 towns.
The Essex County Landfill had opened in 1992 and closed in 1998 when then-Gov. George Pataki said he didn't want landfills in the Adirondack Park.
Pataki promised the annual subsidy in exchange for the closure.
In a 20-year pact, the subsidy started at $300,000 but recently dropped 3 percent, to $294,000, as part of the agreement, County Manager Daniel Palmer said.
He said the county charges towns $54 a ton, with $42 of that going to Franklin County, Serkil getting $8 a ton to haul the trash, and $4 a ton going to Essex County for administration.
All members of the Board of Supervisors present approved the extension. Supervisors William Ferebee (R-Keene), Daniel Connell (D-Westport), David Blades (R-Lewis) and Edward Hatch (D-Willsboro) were absent.
The pact gets a final vote Monday at the regular March Board of Supervisors meeting.
The Essex County Regional Landfill in Lewis was the only state-permitted public landfill within the park's boundaries. It now serves as the central transfer station for the county's garbage.

3.95/5 rDev -5.5%
On-tap at the Courthouse Hotel during Good Beer Week 2013. I got the last pour of their one keg (free as a result), so the head was frothier than usual. I promise I won't hold it against it—certainly not as it was a freebie.
Pours a very clear copper colour, solid in the body. Head is a creamy white crest, obviously exacerbated by the keg blowing into a frothy mess. This does settle down though, and leaves some solid speckled lacing. Overall, it actually looks pretty damn good.
Nose is excellent: big, sharp, fruity and bright. Lemon sherbet sweetness mixes with a tart and sharp passionfruit character, more bright orange citrus characters, all underpinned with a mild toffee note to give is some basis. Overall, it's good stuff, and very nicely weighted.
Palate follows similar lines, but is a lot less full and flavoursome. Light orange with a touch of spice comes through on the entry, followed by some grainy cahracters, a suggestion of earth and some muddled copper metallics. There's even a suggestion of smoke. Finish is quite light, with a very restrained bitterness.
Feel is very light and smooth.
Overall, it's a very drinkable IPA with a truly lovely aroma. It misses a little bit more on the flavour side, but it's still exceptionally smooth and enjoyable.

3.85/5 rDev -7.9%
A - Pours a crystal clear deep bronze colour with a short lasting creamy pale head. Decent lacing on the glass.
S - Sweet malts and some earthy hops on the nose but aroma is lacking and could be much better.
T - Deep hop bitterness is clearly evident. There is a strong malt backbone to keep up the beer but the bitterness is definitely the primary focus. This is pretty good for an Australian beer. It is missing the really good punchy flavour of some DIPAs but overall is not too bad.
M - Average carbonation and a medium to heavy body. Very good.
D - This is not a session beer and one is probably enough. This is a sipper but nice to drink.
05-11-2009 12:29:06 | More by dgilks
4.13/5 rDev -1.2%
A - Pours a clear, bright copper colour with 2cm of off white head that slowly falls away leaving a bit of lacing.
S - Stonefruit, piney and floral hop notes with a caramel maltiness.
T - Fruity & piney hoppiness also in the taste up front followed by a sweet caramel/toffee taste.
M - Medium bodied, carbonation higher side of medium. Quite a resinous, sticky feel.
D - Dangerously drinkable. Enough flavour to keep things interesting, yet not too full on. Very well balanced.

3.88/5 rDev -7.2%
Had on tap at the Wig and Pen
A-- Poured a dark amber color with tints of orange. Nice looking fine carbonation beads showing after being given the glass. Half finger of light brown head that sat at film through drinking. Really nice lacing left while drinking. Lots of webs on the side of the glass.
S-- Quite a strong Carmel nose. Big hop flower nose (I think Riwaka hops). Quite floral smell after the carmel.
T-- Quite floral with some pine, orange and tangerine. Once again a big carmel backbone to smooth out the hops.
M-- Creamy and smooth. Long lasting feel to this. Medium bodied and medium carbonation. Lots of resin with this. Solid stuff.
O-- Thought this was double pale ale. Not a DIPA. To me more of a double pale ale by the ABV and body. Anyway, solid as heck beer. Not as floral as other beers using NZ hops are and has more of the US characters you would taste in a beer. Not all hop flower and perfume like. Really big malt body suited it quite well.

Gulf Coast State College is proud to announce its fourth bachelor's degree program, the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Digital Media. The College is committed to expand opportunities for students, and this degree affords them a solid foundation of digital design skills in a growing, creative industry. The program begins this August 2013, and anyone interested in this exciting and rewarding field is encouraged to enroll now.
"We are pleased to add another workforce bachelor's degree at Gulf Coast," said GCSC President Dr. Jim Kerley. "It's just another great example of how we are building our regional workforce and expanding advanced technology education through high-demand, cutting edge programs. Combine that with the lowest tuition in the state and you've got a winning combination."
The 120-hour program includes the study and hands-on application of video/audio production and web design, as well as management principles and practices. It will be housed in the Advanced Technology Center, the College's connection to business and industry with a focus on creating new pathways to high-tech, lucrative careers.
Initial discussions of offering the degree in Digital Media began in 2010, backed by regional studies confirming the need for graduates with these particular workforce skills. GCSC's existing Associate in Science in Digital Media program and its active program advisory board also supported the proposal. As the final stage in the approval process, the State Board of Education approved the new degree on May 21, 2013.
Labor demand projections through workforce analyses project a shortage of Digital Media workers in our region. These projections indicate that the number of employees in related fields in Workforce Region 4 (comprising Bay, Franklin, and Gulf counties, Gulf Coast State College's service area) will reach 894 by 2017, an increase of 71 jobs from the present number. The estimated number of annual openings requiring new, credentialed employees is 41, which includes openings due to growth as well as those arising from separation. Community and business partners involved in the planning regarding this new program also re-emphasized the local need for the advanced degree.

8Do You Want to See That Puppy That Pink Helped Save?
Of course you want to see the puppy, don't be ridiculous. Look at its little face! Those ears! Those big puppy paws!
This is Stella, one of the most adorable puppies ever. If you'll remember, yesterday I told you about her and about how Pink paid the $5,000 it took to get this puppy surgery that saved her life. And honestly, after hearing that awful story and seeing that precious face, how could you not help this puppy if you had the means to do so?
Enjoy the puppy pictures, and feel free to post other pictures of cute animals as you see fit!

Did they ever find to assholes that did this to this puppy?
You rock, Pink!
Cruelty towards animals seems to upset me more than cruelty towards people (actually no, cruelty towards children is unendurable too….)
Cruelty towards any helpless thing is pretty much too much to bear.
There is a quote somewhere about the mark of a country's humanity lies is the way they treat the weakest among them… animals, children, old people…
and yes, emily, that beautiful pitbull face…
I have only had positive experiences with pitbulls: they love human beings… but have been bred to hate other dogs…..
so they are always a challenge, but one very worthwhile…

@FGCU_WTEN Picks Up Three Wins In Bedford Cup Day Two
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Marked by a second-round doubles victory and two consolation singles wins, day two of the battle for state glory at the Bedford Cup has come to a close.
Still standing in the main doubles draw to represent FGCU in Saturday's quarterfinals are Johanna Sterkel (Schwetzingen, Germany/Carl-Theodor-Schule HS) and Bettina Botha (Cape Town, South Africa/De Kuilen HS), while Botha, joined by Sarah Means (Wesley Chapel, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch HS), racked up wins to keep them in the singles consolation draw.
"We made some good steps forward today," head coach Courtney Vernon said. "We set a goal at the beginning of the day and I was excited to see the girls step up and try to achieve that goal. They are showing courage in different ways and I'm looking forward to watching them compete again tomorrow."
In the doubles round of 16, Sterkel and Botha prevailed through another tough matchup against Sofia Baptista and Clare Mendell of UCF, claiming an 8-6 win. Saturday the pair of Eagles will face Andrea Crespo and Mayablue Staudder-MacDowell of Stetson as they look to push forward into the semifinals.
The Green and Blue raked in two other wins as Sarah Means defeated Majlena Pederson of Florida State 6-4, 7-6 (7), and Botha capped of a perfect day with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 win over Florida A&M's Shantal Blackwood in the singles consolation bracket. Returning to the competition Saturday, Means is set to face Mayablue Staudder-MacDowell of Stetson while Botha opposes Florida's Stefani Stojic.
Representing the Eagles in the main draw round of 32 and facing top-seeded opponents were Elizabeth Means (Wesley Chapel, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch HS) and Candela Munoz Giron (Alicante, Spain/Troy) who will not return for Saturday's round of 16. Means fell 6-1, 6-1, to tournament No. 7 seed Loreto Alonso of USF, while Munoz Giron suffered a 6-4, 6-2 defeat to No. 6 seed Kristina Schleich of FSU.

The proposed stormwater utility fee is up for discussion and possible adoption again for the Zionsville Town Council.
The council discussed the proposed fee, which would charge $3.86 per household, during its agenda-setting meeting Monday morning, Oct. 29.
"The fee is back before you again for any action or no action," Town Manager Ed Mitro said. "It can also be continued again if you wish."
Councilwoman Candace Ulmer asked if the council would have to take a vote in order to give the Stormwater Utility Board direction on a possible next step.
"You don't have to take any action," Mitro said. "You don't have to take it off to give them direction."
The council continued the decision during its September meeting to the November meeting in order to receive more information from the public.
See Wednesday's paper for the full story.

Fluvanna County's Board of Supervisors is now asking for less money in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit with its former financial advisor, Davenport & Company.
Lawyers representing the board filed a motion last week to amend the original complaint against Davenport. The filing reduces the damage claim from $18 million to just over $5 million.
The board cites that, after refinancing all bonds, it found that the damages were less than originally calculated.

Worrying signs from Cairo
By LIRON A. LIBMAN
10/01/2012 22:32
Probably the most worrying facet revealed by the interview, as well as by the speech in the General Assembly, is that the elected president of Egypt seems consistently to refuse to address Israel or Israelis directly.

New York Times
interview, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi said that if Washington was asking Egypt to honor its treaty with Israel, Washington should also live up to its own Camp David commitment to Palestinian self-rule.
Lately, in his speech at the General Assembly of the United Nations, the Palestinian cause was given priority even over the bleeding conflict in Syria.
These statements raise concerns for three reasons: First, they imply that adherence to the treaty with Israel is some kind of concession toward the US that needs to be matched by US steps in favor of the Palestinians. I would think that adhering to the treaty is in Egypt's own self-interest.
After all, under this treaty Israel withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula and recognized Egypt's full sovereignty over it.
International law, justice and dignity, principles often mentioned in Mr.
Morsi's speech, demand that Egypt not hold the territorial gains achieved in the peace treaty while disavowing its obligations under it. True, the Camp David Accords, which laid the foundations for the peace treaty, were not limited to achieving peace between Egypt and Israel but rather drew up a framework for peace in the Middle East, the West Bank and Gaza included.
However, the treaty unequivocally states that the parties undertake to fulfill in good faith their obligations under it, without regard to action or inaction of any other party and independently of any instrument external to this treaty. Creating a linkage between obligations under the peace treaty and external obligations towards the Palestinians is legally flawed.
Second, looking at the Camp David principles for a peaceful settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one may wonder what Mr. Morsi found missing. The framework envisioned a transitional period during which the inhabitants of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip would elect a self-governing authority and receive autonomy, while Israeli military forces withdraw and redeploy to specified security locations.
Later, negotiations on the final status of these territories should have been conducted.
Indeed, this framework, designed in 1978, was not implemented for many years. Different opinions may exist as to whom to blame. However, looking at the Oslo Accords and the Israeli- Palestinian interim agreements, signed by Israel and the PLO in 1993 to 1995, one finds the same principles as prescribed in the Camp David Accords. A Palestinian elected authority was established, received powers and self-governed the Palestinians while the Israeli forces did withdraw from the Palestinian population centers to specified locations.
As to the final status negotiations, several rounds of talks were held over the years with little success and much bloodshed in between. Nowadays, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has reiterated his willingness to negotiate on the final status with PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas, without any pre-conditions. There is no dispute that Mr. Abbas refuses to negotiate unless Israel freezes all settlement activity in the West Bank.
Indeed, one may consider growth in Israeli settlements in the West Bank an impediment to peace, but the Palestinians have agreed that the issue of Israeli settlements will be resolved with other major issues in the permanent status negotiations.
The interim agreement does not stipulate it as a pre-condition for negotiating, nor do the Camp David Accords.
Furthermore, Netanyahu has declared, in a speech at Bar-Ilan University in 2009, that under certain conditions, Israel will agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state. This is more than the Israeli government was willing to pledge to in the Camp David Accords.
Third, and probably the most worrying facet revealed by the interview, as well as by the speech in the General Assembly, is that the elected president of Egypt seems consistently to refuse to address Israel or Israelis directly.
In his victory speech, he said Egypt would respect all its international agreements, but refrained from mentioning Israel. Later, there was the strange affair of the exchange of letters Morsi conducted with President Shimon Peres.
After the elections in Egypt president Peres sent a letter congratulating Morsi and adding greetings for the approaching Muslim month of Ramadan. The Israeli press reported that Mr. Morsi sent a reply letter, wishing stability and security to all the nations in the region, including Israel – but the Egyptian president's spokesperson denied such a letter existed.
Peres's office then released the cover letter attached to Mr. Morsi's letter by the Egyptian embassy in Israel, and the letter itself. The troubling question is why Mr. Morsi found it necessary to deny even the exchange of season's greetings with Israel. With all the "bad blood" between them, even Abbas had sent such greeting to his Israeli counterparts.
Moreover, why doesn't Morsi even say the word "Israel" in public, even when it is clear he is talking about Israel? One may suspect that this has something to do with the Muslim Brotherhood's traditional ideology not recognizing Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state in the predominantly Muslim region. Avoiding calling Israel by its self-determined and internationally recognized name is an extreme manifestation of non-recognition. Iran does it explicitly calling Israel "the Zionist entity" but one did hope that among moderate Arab countries this practice would be outdated.
Morsi has a vast mission addressing Egypt's internal problems. If he has decided to postpone any reference to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so he can focus on Egypt, that would be understandable. However, if Egypt's newly elected president wishes to regain the leading role his country had in the Middle East peace process, he should speak to Israelis, not about Israel. Morsi should assure the Israeli public that although he is a devout Muslim, he does not share the Islamic Republic of Iran's declared aspiration to wipe Israel off the map.
Egypt is the biggest Arab state. If Morsi uses his position and the esteem he has in the eyes of Muslims to bring the Palestinians to the negotiation table, while gaining the trust of the Israeli public, he may make his mark in history.

Black bins to offset fortnightly rubbish collection (From Hereford Times)

Black bins to offset fortnightly rubbish collection
12:02pm Saturday 15th March 2014 in News
PLANS to move to fortnightly bin collections will be offset by black wheelie bins.
In a letter to the Hereford Times, councillor Harry Bramer, cabinet member for contracts and assets, confirms the authority is looking at alternate weekly collection because it will "reduce costs and increase the rate of recycling across the county".
But he says the council is also looking to supply "the majority" of households with free black wheelie bins for general waste.
The Hereford Times reported earlier this month residents' concerns that fortnightly bin collections could result in rubbish dumping and related vermin infestation.
John Newman, who lives on Hereford's Newton Farm estate, said wealthy councillors proposing the move do not realise what the change will mean in the "real world".
Under the scheme, green recycling bins would be emptied one week and the black ones emptied the following week.
Coun Bramer said this is a "widely used approach to waste and recycling collection which has been used successfully in neighbouring counties for many years".
He added: "Once we are confident that we have examined the costs and the benefits fully, we will be able to make a final decision and confirm our plans."
If the decision is made to go ahead, the new scheme will start in November.

I hope people with these black bins still use black bags otherwise they will be washing them out all the time.
How long before they start weighing our rubbish to make sure we do not chuck too much out?

You come knocking on doors around here asking for my whereabouts and they'll tell you, ' that'll be him up there. Odd sort. Refuses to associate hus rubbish with anything on wheels'.
Imagine somebody so against using a black plastic wheeled bin! Now multiply it by a factor of thousands and you'll come half way to understanding why I hate the black wheeled bin. I'll never accept it on my property. Never!
If they come up here wheeling that bloody thing and knock on my door saying, 'here she is. Ain't she lovely', Im going to say, 'clear off. Go bother someone else. Im a black plastic bin bag man. Allways have been and allways will be. Get off me bloody property and wheel that bloody thing with you'.
Oh they don't scare me. None of them. They can send Bill bloody Norman up my drive, their top legal man and I'll tell him what Im telling you all, 'clear off Bill. You might have done very well on The Wirral and down in Torbay, but this property is mine and I'll be the bloody one who says what gets my rubbish and what doesn't get my rubbish.' And whatsmore, I'll tell him, 'I'm a black plastic bin bag man. Allways have been and allways will be. If you come back again I'll be wanting my share of habeus corpus'. That'll frighten him off. He won't be so keen to return knowing that I know my bloody rights and I can use the Latin to get me where I want to be.
There! And anyone who says they'll have the wheeled bin is someone who ain't a black plastic bin bag man like me.

There's good & bad points for any system but the biggest obstacle is 'change'. A lot of people simply don't like change - heaven forbid trailing something . . . remember when the traffic system changed in Hereford years back? When it was deemed to be a big fat failure - they changed it back! Personally I've been waiting for the black wheelie bin since they brought in the green ones - the council could no longer justify their stance of not having the suitable vehicles but it's still taken 4 or 5 yrs. I believe it will reduce the amount of split bags (animals/birds) that no-one cleans up. I sympathise with those who like ad47uk who lives up some steps but surely there's somewhere at the bottom of the steps where a wheelie bin can be kept? What do you do with your black bags now? Do you keep them upstairs with you all week or do you walk down the steps and store them in a bin? There's generally an option to suite most/all but of course, you've still got to get over that swear word - change!
There is no way I am having a bin stuck at the top of my driveway. What I do now is take the bag up to the top of the steps and onto the road the morning my rubbish is to be collected, a lot easier to take a couple of bags up the steps than a wheeled bin.
I know both my next door neighbours got steps and take their green bin out, but that was their choice, they asked for the bin
I wonder how people who have a load of black bags a week going to manage, I see people down this street with 4 black bags or more outside their home.
This idea will not save money, if people are chucking out 4 black bags a week, then they will be chucking out 8 black bags a fortnight, so they will still be using the same amount of fuel.

What about the poor beggars that live in estates like 'St James' parts of 'hunderton' 'newton farm' and many other estates around Herefordshire (its not just the city )
Take a drive around 'St James' with there narrow streets no front garden/yard and in some cases no back yard at all!!!
Plastic bins are going to completely ruin the look of most of Hereford and even block paths so people will have to step out on to the road to get around them, so that brings in the risk to old people and mothers!!!

The truck that does the street collection does not go to land fill they travel to Rotherwas and tipped then the rubbish is compressed into large containers.

Oh well, up to them, they will still put the council tax up and any money they do save will be wasted elsewhere.
