|A day in the life of Ted Clark, business and tax lawyer. Part of the law series, though this isn't based on any particular cases. Rather, this started as a way of exploring some of the stranger sides of tax law. Believe or not, everything in here is good law. Note: this is an altered version of the original story. Unfortunately, in updating all the old comments were lost. I'm sorry!
It was one of those nights when the mist comes up out of the sewers and mixes with fog in the streets and the low clouds to smother the city like a bowl of split pea soup. It was a Tuesday night and I still hadnt gotten over my hangover from the Halloween party on Sunday. I staggered through the streets to my office, its neon sign pulling me in like moth to a flame. Tripping over a wino, I steadied myself on a lamp-post. The lamps illuminated the fog, creating little balls of light like Christmas ornaments. I walked the rest of the block, then headed up to my office.
Theodore Clark, Business and Tax Attorney. Thats my name on the door. Looks just like any other white collar shmuck in this town, until you notice the little sign on the bottom: Licensed since 1925. Office hours 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM. All species welcome.
I walked in and lit the gas lamps. Most of my clients prefer the ambiance and besides, it keeps the electric bill down. I could hear the sound of the vote-mobiles trying to bribe the winos into re-electing the mayor and councilmen. I smiled. I pride myself on being the one dead man in this town who actually gets to choose who I vote for. Thankfully absentee balloting had made the process easier and less scary for the poor poll workers who had to look at my decaying corpse.
I poured myself a glass of water to help dilute the alcohol in my system. I had just gotten settled in when I heard a knock on my door. Come on in! I hollered. The advantage of being dead is that you dont really worry about personal safety. The client stepped into the office.
He was short and wiry, with thick glasses and acid eaten clothes. Uhh, Ted? he asked, his voice a nasally whine.
Yes, Jeremy? I replied. Jeremy Higgins was a mad scientist wannabe. To pay the bills until he figured out a way to take over the world, he sold drugs. He had managed to turn common household chemicals into a narcotic that was not only ten times more potent than cocaine but also was technically legal. However, he was certain that the minute his drug was publicized it would get banned, so he was trying to keep out of the spotlight as much as possible.
Ted, I brought my receipts. I forgot to file my quarterly return. Can you help me out?
I sighed. Jeremy, those were due on the fifteenth. I grabbed the pack of paper in his hand. Keep this up and youre going to get audited, I muttered.
I flipped through the stack of papers. Store receipts mingled with the strange scribbles of the dealer. Drug sale, material purchase, drug sale, drug sale, rent, hand guns, electric bill, guard dog expenses . . . I looked the kid in the eye. Jeremy, how many times have I told you that you need to diversify?
The wannabe sighed. Lots.
Jeremy, Im serious. If you just had a roulette wheel, a hooker, anything else, I could deduct all your expenses. As long as youre just in the drug business, I can only deduct the cost of your drugs from your profits. Youre losing thousands of dollars to the government.
Yes, Ted. The little man looked pensive. I suppose I could rent out rooms to my customers.
Hospitality? I mumbled as I thought. That would work. Get me the paperwork and well do that for next quarter. I paused for a moment. By the way, have you been keeping up with your sales taxes?
The kid rolled his eyes. Yes, he said, utterly exasperated.
Look, kid, in this state, you gotta pay sales on everything, including your street drugs. They bust you without your tax stamps, youre going to jail and you gotta cough up the money. I sighed. In the meantime, Ill fill these out. Ill call you tonight for the amount you owe, and if you can drop off a check this morning Ill get this sent off tomorrow.
Sure Teddy. How much do I owe you?
Same as always. Fifty bucks for prepping the forms, fifty bucks for trying to decipher your chicken scratch.
Jeremy handed over five badly crumpled twenties, pouting a bit at the name calling. He walked out, slamming the door.
Little punk! I thought as I started delving into filling out the forms.
I had lost track of time when I heard my bell ring. I looked up at the clock, noticed that the clock said half past midnight. Come in Hans! I called and smiled as the vampire strode in. Hans Retchsanwalt was a German immigrant and my oldest friend. We preferred working independently, but we referred cases back and forth. I stuck with the tax and finance stuff, and he handled the rest.
You know, Hans, you can just come in anytime you want.
Theodore, I am a vampire. I may not enter where I hef not been invited.
Hans, you have a standing invitation. My office is your office, I added in my horrible Spanish accent.
Yes, but . . . the vampire flustered. It is my hebit, he said, a touch of his German accent creeping in. Shall ve be off to our luncheon?
Sure. I blew out the lamps and after we left, I locked the door. We took the stairs and headed out into the soupy streets. We walked side by side in silence, the vampire and the zombie. We were a study in contrasts: tall and skinny against medium and stout, his elegant stride versus my lurching steps, his bespoke suiting and my decaying clothes.
So Hans, hows business?
Theodore, it has been horrible. I hef been hard pressed to find enough clients to fill my nights. Also, the clients I find are less than forthcoming in providing payment.
Im sorry to hear that.
I hef been forced to collect in blood. Fortunately, it does save me the cost of hiring prostitutes to sate my hunger.
We walked along in silence. One of the many great things about being deadyoure no longer vampire food. We arrived at our lunch spot: the Grateful Undead bar. The neon wasnt properly lighting up the Un, however, so the doorman was sending the misguided drunk rock fans away.
We slipped through the crowd, passing the doorman. Yo, wut up, Mr. R and Mr. C? the black wolfman asked, his do-rag pinning back his ears and baggy pants being held up by the crook in his tail.
We ignored him. Both Hans and I cant stand ghetto punks. We could have just found another bar, but there werent many options for people like us. We walked in and sat at our table in the corner.
Our waitress came up. Elva was a succubus who, after having contracted every STD known to mankind schlepping about as a lady of the night, had decided to move into a safer line of work. Not for her safety mind youas a demon, she was immune to human diseases. She had decided out of the goodness of her heart that sleeping with her shouldnt be a death sentence. Her fashion sense hadnt changed from her nights as a street walker though, and she was laced up into a tight leather corset and a plaid miniskirt that went well with the black leather roller-skates.
Hello sweethearts, what can I bring ya?
The usual, Elva, I replied.
All right. One full strength Bloody Mary and one Walking Dead. She turned and skated off, her skirt barely reaching the fold between her ass and her thigh. I stalked her with my eyes as she vanished to the bar.
Theodore, I hef never understood your attraction to thet woman. What possible appeal could such a trollop hef?
Hans, Im dead. My libido isnt. Ive lusted after that woman for seventy years. Im not going to stop simply because my heart went kaput. Besides, enough about me. What are you going to do about work?
I hef considered joining Chaney Karloff.
Chaney Karloff? Are you serious?
I vould greatly prefer not to join them. I do not vish to start verk at seven oclock every night and verk until noon. Billing three thousand hours a year is an abomination. The firm simply does not belief in a verk/unlife balance.
No kidding, Hans. I worked for them as my first job out of law school. They worked me to death. Literally. And then they took my still warm corpse over to the College of Mad Science to get me reanimated so I could finish the due diligence for the merger I was working on. You dont want to go that route, my friend.
I know, Theodore. I greatly hope business vill improve. The situation hess been depressing me greatly.
Hans, buddy, if youre that hard up for cash, I can make you a loan until something comes up. Hell, Id even be willing to set up a formal partnership. The money isnt that important to me.
Elva skated up, Hanss Bloody Mary in one hand and my liquid filled vase in the other. Here yall are. The Bloody Mary is top shelf, AB+. And Teddy, I mixed this Walking Dead special for you. Vodka, Scotch, two types of Bourbon, Irish whisky, melon liquor, lager, Jaeger, and absinthe. Oh, Elva, you are a dear, I smiled as I took the first sip. She smiled then returned to wherever waitresses go when they arent serving you.
Hans frowned and cocked an eyebrow. Oh hush you! I said to him. My taste buds havent worked since becoming post mort, and the only way for alcohol to get to my brain is water pressure. If its not a suicider, I wont even notice it.
Still, Theodore, a professional drinking so much is uncouth. I remember your boorish behavior at the Halloween party.
I felt my face get a little warm. Must be the alcohol. Well, I dont remember, and it sounds like Im a better zombie for it. I paused. I can hold my liquor just fine, thank you.
I drank some more, the alcohol soaking my dead tissues and creeping up to my brain. Hans delicately sipped his cocktail.
So Hans, did you vote yesterday? I said, just to break the awkward silence.
No, I did not. I carefully considered the candidates. They are all deeply flawed. I could not bring myself to support any of them, even if only to oppose the other.
Well, I can definitely understand that, considering the options always seem to be morons, criminals, or the borderline megalomaniacs. Lately Ive been going with the intelligent criminals, but I switched to the morons I mostly agree with for this round. Its all the same really, but I started voting back when . . .
A small man came up to our table. Excuse me, he interrupted. His voice had the precise clip I associated with doctors. Are you Mr. Rick San Walt?
I pointed to my friend. Hes Mr. Retchsanwalt, correcting the pronunciation. Feeling pendantic, I added Say it with me: Wretch zan valt.
Hans shot me a look. I am Hans Retchsanwalt, he told the man. Do you require my legal services?
Oh yes, sir. You see, Im a doctor and Im getting sued by a former patient of mine. I transplanted his hands, but it went wrong . . .
I stood up. Looks like youre going to be busy, Hans. Ill catch you later. I downed the rest of my drink, tossed one of the crumple twenties from Jeremy on the table, and headed back to my office.
The alcohol was giving me quite a buzz by the time I got back. I fumbled with the lock, then staggered in, lurching more than normal. I collapsed on the couch, rethinking the wisdom of my bravado over lunch. After a few minutes, the alcohol started seeping through my ears and evaporating, clearing my head enough to get some water and get back to work.
I went back to preparing Jeremys self employment form. The work mostly just involved updating the last quarters statement, which I had retrieved from my files. I was in the middle of trying to figure out how to depreciate Jeremys Dobermans when the doorbell rang.
Come on in, I said, having lost my train of thought. I looked up to see the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Wait, noshe was some kind of anthropomorphic mink. She was covered in blond fur with a gorgeous mane and a long fluffy tail. Her hunter green suit matched her eyes perfectly and showed off her curves like no mans business. She also had a pert green hat and a veil that matched her handbag. In short, she was some kind of furry forties pinup.
Mr. Clark, she called, her voice soft and breathy. Im in a spot of difficulty. Can you help me? She sat down beside my desk.
Oh, yes. Anything you want honey. I, or . . . I thought about mentioning Hans, but she was just so gorgeous. I can help you out. Whats your problem?
Please let it be a necrophilia fetish, please let it be a necrophilia fetish . . .
Im in a bit of a . . . situation with my husband, Mr. Clark. She paused and seemed to blush. He uh, passed away recently. He left everything to me.
Shes rich, single, and gorgeous? When did I die again and get to heaven? Im sorry to hear that youre all alone in this world. I reached out, placing my decaying grey-green hand on hers. So what can I help you with? The names Teddy, by the way.
Her face pulled up into a tight embarrassed smile. Im Gigi Fitch, she smiled as she pulled her hand out from under mine. I retracted my hand. My problem is that he is hasnt quite passed on. His spirit has been haunting our house.
Post-mortem relations can get a bit tricky. I should know.
Oh, I hoped you would understand. I just feel that my vow was until death do us part. And well, he thinks that just because hes still around I have to be the good wife and not spend our money or find someone more corporeal to start life over with.
Okay. What do you want me to do?
Well, Mr. Teddy, I was wondering if there is any way for me to seize control of the assets legally. I mean, Im the rightful owner, right? Hes legally dead.
Ms. Gigi, post-mortem property assignments can be very tricky. American law wasnt written to deal with dead people still capable of action. The law is generally in your favor, as dead hand rules are frowned upon. I looked down and started searching through my business card deck. Finding what I was looking for, I started copying the information on a scratch sheet of paper.
This is the contact info for a friend of mine. Shes a licensed medium and exorcist. I think your best bet is to just send your former husbands soul on his merry way.
Gigi slipped the note in her bag. Oh, thank you Mr. Teddy. She leaned over and kissed my cheek, thrilling me both from the touch and the nice view of her cleavage. I tried not to drool.
She walked to the door. Gigi, I called, Would you like to join me for dinner?
She turned and smiled. I would like that. Meet you here at five?
You know where to find me, I smiled back. She closed the door and headed down the stairs. I peeked through my windows, watched her vanish into the mist, and checked the clock.
Lets see, its 3:00 now. If I get Jeremys form finished in the next half hour, I have time to run home, get cleaned up, and be back. I can do that.
Ah, the life of a tax zombie.

Backstage: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
We have a fabulous car for rent. We didn't fly her because it would have been a) dangerous and b) not cost effective. We put her in front of a screen and used smoke machines to hide the ropes that were pulling her offstage. The car is an exact replica of the one in the movie, and virtually indestructable, as it is made out of carbon fiber. There are pictures of the car on the MTI Showspace website, under Actors' Repertory Theatre of Simi's rentals.

The MTI Show Collection: Dr. Dolittle Jr. Casting
HI Jamie!
The core animals certainly can be in the circus and courtroom scene unless you have a smaller cast and some are doubling as other roles. They will also add to the mayhem in the court room scene. The circus folk would most likely not be in the court room scene. The circus folk may double cast as villagers or a completely different group of students.

Andrei Arlovski has left Mike Garcia, his former boxing coach, apparently in part because Garcia believes it might be time for the former champion to hang up the four-ounce gloves.
"The Pitbull" hasn't won a fight since 2008 and has been viciously knocked out in three of his last four fights. That kind of damage takes a toll on a man, both physically and mentally.
The Belarusian hopes to revive his flailing career by teaming up with the elite members of Jackson's MMA and the mastermind himself, Greg "Yoda" Jackson.
But after the devastating nature of his last four defeats, is it possible that there is no turning back from the path Arlovski's career has taken? Is the once great champion irreparably damaged?
Garcia tells Pro MMA Now that while he hopes Jackson and company can save his friend's career, he's not sure it's possible and doesn't want to see his former pupil sustain any more damage than he already has:
"I didn't mean it like he doesn't have the skills. I just don't want to see him get hurt. There's something not clicking, and you can see in his last couple fights he's not the same Andrei. He says he wants to fight, I hope he does. But if he doesn't, I just don't want to see him get hurt. This last one (knockout loss to Sergei Kharitonov in Strikeforce) was kind of brutal. It scared me a little bit. He was doing good for the first two minutes then all a sudden he just shut down, and I don't know what happened. If Greg Jackson can bring the best out of him. God bless him, I hope he does. I'd like to see him get back on top… I love the kid to death. I don't want to see nothing happen to him. I wish he would [stop fighting]. But he wants to continue. He's still young. Could he come back? Sure he could, you know? Hopefully he will, but we'll see."
Of course, it should be taken into consideration that Arlovski hasn't exactly been facing cans for the past few years. The level of competition has been extremely high, with fights against the likes of Antonio Silva and Fedor Emelianenko.
And there is certainly a place for a fighter with the skills of "The Pitbull," who may have a softened chin but retains his superb boxing and solid submissions.
That said, where exactly does he fit in? Is Garcia right and it's time for Arlovski to call it quits at the age of 32 and after 24 professional fights?
Or is there still enough gas left in the tank that with the right direction (see Jackson, Greg), the former superstar can find his way back to the upper echelon of the sport?

natural disaster.
I guess I sort of knew it was only a matter of time before natural disaster hit the area where I lived. Three years ago, we had a HUGE storm that took up all the trees in our neighborhood and left us without power for five days, but we were completely fine - thank GOD.
Again, His hand was on us as last night two tornadoes passed through town about seven miles from our house - and RIGHT by the church. There was also severe flooding and many people had to be evacuated from their vehicles. My niece's car stopped in the middle of the street, which may have been a blessing because when she got out of the car, people in a nearby restaurant called for her to come inside - there was a tornado only blocks from where they were.
As far as I know, no one was hurt - which is a miracle in itself, but it's got me thinking a lot. With all the hurricanes and tsunamis and earthquakes - I knew tornadoes would be crazy too. That's the main threat here in Illinois, but of course, I try not to worry about what's out of my control. Still, it's really scary to think how nature has sort of gone haywire. I wonder if it's something we've done - like with global warming - or if God's grace is starting to wear thin - or if it's always been this way and I didn't notice.
Lately, when I've been scraping plates into the sink to shovel uneaten food down the garbage disposal, I feel like - I don't know, it occurs to me that in many places in the world, our scraps would be someone else's best meal ever. I think about that movie "Cinderella Man" when Russell Crowe gives his daughter his food because he "had a dream he ate a big steak" and he was full. I wonder how we would fare in those kinds of conditions?
I pray for our country. I pray that we stop ignoring God - as a culture, we really do. As a society, the things God places importance on are at the bottom of our list. And we are a country that was founded on God's Word. For religious freedom.
Lately I've felt convicted about something. I am strong in my beliefs. I have very solid opinions about a lot of things. But when those things are controversial, I keep my mouth shut. I don't want to upset anyone. I don't want anyone to dislike me. But if I can't stand when it matters - why stand at all?
Just rambling, really. It's cold here. And rainy. I have my big sweater on. Closing in on a big deadline but feeling the pressure mount. Afraid I am not superwoman.
Will only finish with HIS help.
I thank Him for his help.

This is a large area to the north west of the Colorado National Monument. This area is a National Conservation area that is quite expansive. Kodel's, Devil's, and Rattlesnake Arch Canyons are all in this area. Most routes require a healthy approach. And, dogs are allowed!
Getting There
Head Northwest on I-70 exiting at Fruita (exit 19). Head towards the Monument entrance, but take a right on King's View Drive. Head through the neighborhood and onto where it becomes a dirt road. Continue to the large parking lot for Devil's Canyon and further on for other canyons.

The foundation for a new outdoor dining area at Bayport-Blue Point High School was laid today under a hot August morning sun.
Bayport resident Chandler Varone's Eagle Scout project, being built behind the school's cafeteria, honors a business teacher's memory in addition to giving students a relaxing place to nosh during the busy school day.
The completed project will feature tables and benches and be built on a patio of donated and engraved 4"x 8" brick pavers with the funds supporting the Doug Monsell Education Fund.
The fund was established in honor of Doug Monsell, a beloved business teacher who lost a valiant battle with liver disease this past May. The money raised will help support college funds for Monsell's two young daughters.
So far Varone has sold 134 bricks and the extended deadline to purchase a brick is now August 17.
Once the cement is set, Varone will remove the wood form and start laying the bricks and then drop in a fence around the 15 foot by 25 foot patio.
Varone, a member of Life Scout Troop 329, was excited to see the project move forward Thursday morning and was very appreciate of community support his project is receiving. The cement company, Thomas Moloney Masonry, of Blue Point, contributed a substantial discount on the cement costs.
The scout is hopeful the same support will be seen in donated bricks that buyers can have engraved with appreciation of loved ones, or a business or a person's name.
"By purchasing this brick, you are investing in a 4" x 8" piece of real estate that will be beautiful and everlasting as well as honor the memory of Mr. Monsell," Varone wrote in a letter to potential donors earlier this summer.
Those interested in donating a brick, or just donating to the causes, can download the attached form (just click through the picture to see the uploaded document) or email Varone at email@example.com.
Checks should be made payable to Troop 329 with the memo subject reading "Chandlers Eagle," and mailed to 321 McConnell Avenue, Bayport, NY 11705. For more information Varone can be also reached at 631-707-3628.

The Little Blue Natural Resources District encompasses hundreds of farms and dozens of cities and villages in parts of seven south-central Nebraska counties.
With over 1.5 million acres under their care, officials say they're taking steps to make sure their water is being used efficiently.
General Manager Mike Onnen says the Little Blue's board is proposing changes for irrigators. Those rule changes include putting meters on wells and reporting water use every year.
"We don't have a good handle on how much water is being consumed, we don't know exactly where our water balance is," says Onnen. "We know about how much we get in recharge, but unless you have a good handle on how much is actually being applied, it's kind of difficult to know if you're in balance or not."
At a public hearing in Davenport on Thursday, NRD officials showed about 60 people in attendance maps of areas where they want to enforce what's called a permanent stay – a stop to expansion of irrigated acres and the digging of new wells unless certain requirements are met.
"We're proposing to include a permanent stay in a portion of our district where we've got some very high risk areas," says Onnen.
But some farmers questioned if those changes will be enough to prevent future groundwater depletion or other problems.
"It's one area of the district that we seem to be extremely concerned about and there is evidence within the whole district of the same problems," said Robert Duensing of Deschler.
"I think we have been behind in doing a lot of things that we should have done. We're trying to catch up, and I think that just by pinpointing one area would not do us much good," added Gregg Wiedel of Hebron.
Others say that because the 100 mile long NRD has varying soil types and aquifer depths, targeting known problem areas makes more sense than a district-wide stay.
"It's very difficult for what we do [in one part of the district] to be much of an effect on what you do [in another]," said Russ Ochsner of Roseland.
Onnen says being efficient with water and fertilizer is their greatest concern, and believes these changes can help them budget water fairly for everyone.
"The whole goal of our rules and regulations is really to encourage farmers to become more efficient in their applications of water and give us a better handle on what's being used," said Onnen.
The Little Blue NRD board won't make a final decision until at least their April meeting. Anyone can still send written comments on these changes until March 31 to the Little Blue NRD office at P.O. Box 100, Davenport, NE 68335.

It is not an all-encompassing rule because it has always been restricted to ethnic Han Chinese living in urban areas. Citizens living in rural areas and minorities living in China are not subject to the law. However, the rule has been estimated to have reduced population growth in the country of 1.3 billion by as much as 300 million people over its first twenty years.
This rule has caused a disdain for female infants; abortion, neglect, abandonment, and even infanticide have been known to occur to female infants. The result of such Draconian family planning has resulted in the disparate ratio of 114 males for every 100 females among babies from birth through children four years of age. Normally, 105 males are naturally born for every 100 females.
Recent Effects of the One Child LawNow that millions of sibling-less people in China are now young adults in or nearing their child-bearing years, a special provision allows millions of couples to have two children legally. If a couple is composed of two people without siblings, then they may have two children of their own, thus preventing too dramatic of a population decrease.
Although IUDs, sterilization, and abortion (legal in China) are China's most popular forms of birth control, over the past few years, China has provided more education and support for alternative birth control methods.
Statistically, China's total fertility rate (the number of births per woman) is 1.7, much higher than slowly-declining Germany at 1.4 but lower than the U.S. at 2.1 (2.1 births per woman is the replacement level of fertility, representing a stable population, exclusive of migration).
In 2007, there were reports that in the southwestern Guangxi Autonomous Region of China, officials were forcing pregnant women without permission to give birth to have abortions and levying steep fines on families violating the law. As a result, riots broke out and some may have been killed, including population control officials.
The Future of China's One Child LawMinister of the State Commission of Population and Family Planning Zhang Weiqing confirmed in early 2006 that China's one child policy is consistent with the nation's plan for population growth and would continue indefinitely. He denied rumors that the policy become less stringent to permit a second child to the general population.

These hot to trot Pollini sandals have us thinking of holidays spent under canvas with their khaki straps, toggles and flashes of vibrant orange. They're reminiscent of waterproof wear when taking on adventures in the English countryside.
But these little beauts in fine suede and leather won't be scaling any rock faces or stepping into muddy fields - these are set strictly for urban adventures. These strappy sandals are from the AW11 collection from Pollini with Kirkwood at the head of the helm. Kirkwood drew on solid shapes and strong architectural forms for inspiration this season.
Retailing at £470 they're available from www.asos.com or Box Boutique.

Questions and Answers.
Quite often I receive interesting questions about the particular lighting setup or issue with the particular shot that other photographers are dealing with and such questions is not directly related to any post I have here in the blog. So, instead of sending me an email, please post any off-topic photography-related question here as a reply. Anyone can contribute an answer as well, I am not only the one who knows how to shoot;-).
I'll start to post here what I have in my mail, questions I've received and answers I sent back (with sender permission of course). By default I won't be publishing a full names, unless you ask me to do so. I promise I'll be checking this tread as often as my mailbox:-)
161 Responses on Sticky OT: Questions and Answers thread"
I come from the world of studio macro photography and I have an odd issue that I was hoping someone more experienced than me might have some insight into, namely odd shadows. I use a smallhd field monitor as background (I pipe PC output onto it, ie a photoshop gradient) and use 3 synced flashes to illuminate my subject. Typical exposure is 1s which gets both the light falling onto the subject from the flash pop and the light on the monitor.
When I look at individual hairs on my subject, often there is a dark shadow to one sde of the hair and a corresponding light area on the other. Not on the hair itself but beside, on some virtual plane parallel to the hair (ie not on the monitor plane). The strength of the effect seems to vary a lot, it isn't related to monitor orientation and actually becomes more extreme on shorter exposures (further removed from the hair).
I was wondering if anyone had any insight into what might be going on?
Many thanks
please submit this to our forum: http://www.photigy.com/forum/questions-and-answers/
Hi Alex,
I was recently reading on your web site, "how to advertise" but can't find it anymore.
If you don't mind to share your tips how to advertise, where is in your opinion money best spend for advertising, etc… I am sure bunch of guys/girls who follows you will appreciate just like I will.
BTW, I like your tips/tricks of trade for product photography.
Will soon submit few of my images for CC.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Alex, first of all i would like to thank you for sharing so much valuable photography tips & tricks. I have found many useful resources here, thank you.
I am a photography student and have a project to mimic a shot as in the following link: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=181874365156526
I have made several attempts:
1. Threw something into the fishtank
2. Sprayed water behind the object
3. Made splashes on the surface of the water
However, none of those attempts successfully create the explosive and powerful water-blast effect as seen in the link. I understand that the final result will require plenty of work in Photoshop.
Any advice you can share regarding creating the powerful effect is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your kind reply.
Yes, these are composite images, so you do a splashes with desired shape and then shoot a bottle. I never have create that exact splash shape with lots of little drops around, so you have to experiment. I can be some h-speed slap on a shallow colored water, so it will create many little splashes around. You have to work it out.. good luck!;-)
@Alex Koloskov,
Thank you so much alex for your advice and your quick reply, I really don't have any idea how to make that little splashes,but I'll try again.
Hi Alex, I've got a question for you. I only ask because you have been so kind to share a lot of your techniques with us. I have a large movie poster and early Hollywood glamor photography collection. I'm in the process of cataloging the collection for sale. Right now I'm at the point where I need to photograph a large collection of photographs, most 8×10 and 11×14. I need to get the most accurate representation as possible for collectors. Any tips on the best way to shoot photographs?
I never did any reproduction from photos, but had done this: http://www.photigy.com/art-reproduction-photography-lighting-masterpiece/
And I think you can use a similar approach or the lighting: have stripboxes all around on the sides of the photo you are shooting. You have to make sure it won't cast any reflection to the camera.
BTW, did you think about using a scanner? it will give you much better resolution and sharpness…
@Alex Koloskov, I considered a scanner, but most only do 8.5 x 11″. I have a lot high end photos that are 11 x 14″. The scanners that do this size are a lot more expensive. I will also have to shoot my posters that range in size all the way up to 41″x 81″ called a three sheet. So I figured I need to build a corner just for this purpose and light accordingly. Thank you for your input.
Ok, I see.
Then yes, a good macro lens and soft uniform lighting on a sides will work better than scanner.
Hi Alex.
Your blog has been really inspirational! I still have some questions concearning light.
I have stared out a product photography bussiness for myself, as the first custemers are jewellery company and a flowershop. The last one works out well and we both are happy. Not so with jewellery.
I tend to get dull looking pictures. All the silver has a satin effect. How can I get a sharp light on the silver part of the ring, whil not burning out whites and getting my whole room to reflect from the ring. Also how to make the small dimonds to sparkle. Maybe a led lamp? The strongest one I found from local market is 550lm, not enough to couple with my other bulbs, that are 1450lm each. Here is a scetsh of the setup I used. And down below some examples of the ring. Reflection is digitally manipulated. I guess I must shoot the reflection extra in the future, to get it as it shoud be. The ring and reflection are not the same.
Interesting results, thank you for posting.
I use more diffused light to create seamless gradient on a cone diffuser around the jewelry, and sometime I made a hole in it to spark a diamond through it with intense beam of light. Little mirrors around may help to fire some sparks as well.
Right now I am working on LED lighting setup for my new jewelry book, this will be covered there.
Thank you!
I have been reading your site about the view camera adapters for 35mm dSLR cameras and I am interesting in introducing this into my work set-up. I need the ability to shoot not only individual pieces of jewelry, but also full-page layouts with multiple types of pieces. In the past I've shot with a cropped dSLR and a macro lens and pieced everything together in PS, however, I would like to do all of this in camera upon capture.
I will be upgrading my camera body to a Canon 5D Mark II soon and I am shopping for the best view camera adapter and lens to suit my needs. Mostly I am looking at a Cambo or Horseman adapter, and Schneider or Rodenstock Macro lens (80-100, probably). Would a macro lens also allow me to shoot a page layout of jewelry (8.5×11″), or would I need a different lens to do that?
When using the dSLR in the view camera adapter, how does it all work? Would I trigger the shutter from a shutter release on the lens, or via the camera body? Also, would I have the ability to shoot tethered to a computer (utilizing live view/ remote control) while using the view camera system? Additionally, is the camera capable of capturing video while using the view camera set-up? Would you also consider purchasing a macro lens (i.e.- 100mm f2.8) to put on the body without the view camera setup?
I appreciate your thoughts and all of your work on this blog…thanks for your time!
I have a video from a Dslr mounted on rails, search the blog "tilt-shift" or similar keyphrase.
I did not use lens with shutter with dslr, but enlargement lens, so the only camera shutter was working. To use dslr with lens shutter, you'll need some sync cable, or just set lens shutter to "open" and you your camera shutter.
As for the macro lens, you need to check lens spec: usually it says what magnification it is good for. I guess any tabletop shots would be OK with macro lens. They are not good at infinity focus, which is not a case.
Good luck with your build!

This or changing all the interior designs between each and every movie but surely go too far. But the central engineering set from the last movie has been improvised. Seems fairly unpractical to rent a brewery every time you wanna shoot a movie just for the sake of continuity.
Furthermore the harsh difference between the brains and guts of the ship from the last movie implies more than before an emphasis of Kirk and Scotty being the kings their two realms. The decentralized nature of the brewery set isn't fit to make Scotty shine out like this, it needs to have a more centralized structure. Perhaps, as the above picture shows, not as radical as in the case of previous central engineering sets but Scotty nonetheless needs a command center, a throne.
Another point is that the characters are all adolescent. They still mature so the ship which reflects the youthful dynamism of the main characters can do the same.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

Jeff Charbonneau – 2013 National Teacher of the Year
2013 Washington Teacher of the Year and the 2013 National Teacher of the Year
Zillah High School, Zillah, Washington
Chemistry, Physics, Engineering
For Jeffrey Charbonneau, every day in teaching is a "day in paradise" for him and his students, but for anyone who thinks that is an easy-to-achieve idea, think again.
As he says, "Paradise must be built, maintained and improved each and every day. It requires sweat equity, triumphs over adversity, and consistently positive attitudes. Paradise also removes the words 'can't,' 'too hard,' and 'impossible' from our vocabulary. Great teachers create a paradise within their own classroom, but also in their school and greater community."
To create such a paradise, Jeff follows six strategies:
- Today is the most important day for every one of his students;
- Great teachers do not allow failure;
- Great teachers create a culture of high ambition and lead by example;
- Great teachers help all students, not just the students in their classes;
- Great teachers are part of the solution;
- Great teachers help their peers become better.
Through the focus on these principles, he expects the fostering of self-confidence, academic success, collaboration and dedication throughout the education system.
From refusing to punish students who do not learn on his schedule as long as they learn the subject, to creating a Robot Challenge program, particularly to give students who arrive early each morning and need a place to hang but who may not take his classes, some opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, Jeff strives to create an on-going education "paradise" that understands such an accomplishment is rarely created by the status quo.
Jeff's principal calls him the best example of a performance-based school leader. "Jeff consistently selects outcome-driven criteria to evaluate his students and programs, and to determine if expectations are being met and, therefore, if plans of action to address areas of need should be implemented. He sets high goals for students, providing support and guidance for them, and his years of experience have enabled him to problem solve various issues and come to realistic solutions." What is even more impressive, his principal emphasizes, "is his ability to implement innovative programs impacting student success and opportunities."

The more teens use cell phones and computers, the more likely they are to suffer from depression.
So say a group of Swedish researchers who came out with a study they say demonstrates a link between these electronic gizmos and depression in young people.
Sara Thomée from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg oversaw a study that gave questionnaires to 4,100 young adults from ages 20 to 24. The team also interviewed 32 heavy users of information and communication technology.
They determined that the 'extreme use of cell phones and computers' may be linked to stress, sleep disorders and depressive symptoms. They say that there were problems with insomnia and concentration in heavy users of the technology.
What do you think? Can cell phones and laptops be making teens sick? Take the poll and tell us your thoughts.

Jonathan Hardman got quite a present on his 16th birthday.
The Oak Hill High School sophomore slammed a penalty kick into the left side of the net to give the Red Devils a 1-0 upset victory over Princeton Senior High on Tuesday night in the Class AAA, Region 3, Section 2 tournament semifinals at the Princeton soccer stadium.
It was set up when a lightning-like strike into the box from Oak Hill's Jacob Kemlock glanced off the elbow of a Princeton defender, who was whistled for a "hand ball."
Hardman said that when he prepared to fire off the PK, "I knew that this is the easiest chance I'm going to have to score."
The first and only goal of the game "was a huge relief," Hardman said. "Last year we got knocked out of the sectionals early. This was redemption."
Kyle Kent, the first-year coach of Oak Hill (5-9-2), said, "Players with time make plays. Players under pressure are going to make mistakes."
The game turned into a violent match full of twists and turns, tackles and turnovers. Officials' whistles stopped play at least half a dozen times in each half.
One yellow card was assessed, with 33:30 remaining, on Oak Hill's Austin Nolen for a hard tackle on Princeton's Chance Shrewsbury.
Princeton (11-6-1) had beaten Oak Hill 2-1 and 3-1 earlier this month, and the two teams had also scouted each other during a preseason Kick-o-Rama in Princeton.
Princeton head coach Steve Bailey said about Oak Hill, "They're a good team. ... They played us tough, both times we played. The guys all knew that, knew it wouldn't be easy."
Princeton senior Austin Smith said, "We knew Oak Hill was coming in to play. We knew it'd be an intense game. They came out early and put some shots on goal and pressured us."
"Just that PK, they got that one call that changed the momentum of the game."
"We came in with no expectations," Kent said. "I told the boys it doesn't matter if the score is 7-6, 10-0 or 1-0, it means you're going on in the tournament."
He said the conclusion of the season "was much different, and it's all because of the teamwork," Kent said. "It took a time to come around. It was a growing, adjusting (period), of them getting used to the way Oak Hill is going to play the game."
Hardman said, "We're starting to play as a team, not being selfish, passing the ball. We're playing soccer the way it should be played."
Also this week:
Midland Trail 2
James Monroe 0
The Midland Trail Patriots (10-8-2) shut out James Monroe Tuesday to advance to the girls championship game in Region 3 Section 1, where they'll play Pocahontas County Thursday at 6 p.m. at the YMCA Paul Cline Memorial Youth Sports Complex.
Hannah Legg and Heaven Simms scored the goals for the Patriots, while Molly Sevy picked up the only assist.

Anoka County Commissioner Rhonda Sivarajah on Wednesday announced her candidacy for Minnesota's 6th congressional district.
Sivarajah is the first candidate to challenge Tom Emmer for the Republican Party endorsement in the race to replace Michele Bachmann.
Emmer said he wants to follow in Bachmann's footsteps by fighting "the ever-growing size of government."
A Star Tribune profile last year called Sivarajah "a darling of the local conservative blogs," with a fiscally-conservative track record on the Anoka County board. The crown jewel of her tenure was overseeing a 7.4 percent tax levy reduction in 2011 -- Anoka County's first decrease in at least three decades.
Judy Adams, an environmental activist from Circle Pines, Minn., announced Monday she will seek the Democratic endorsement for the 6th District. Adams was the first Democrat to jump into the race after Jim Graves dropped his candidacy, citing "mission accomplished" after Bachmann said she wouldn't seek another term.

FoodCare API
When consumers have an ailment, they usually go to the doctor. Many times doctors recommend dietary changes in order to preserve health. FoodCare offers personalized nutrition for users from the comfort of a mobile phone. Unlike other apps, FoodCare uses a community based approach, where individuals, restaurants, schools, senior communities and hospitals can benefit from the specialized information from registered dieticians and nutrition educators. This is where developers have an ample opportunity to create apps with the FoodCare API. To get started, developers need to apply for a key. Various features in the API documentation site include cuisine types, health conditions, dishes and restaurants for a more complete application development.

Lagos – Boxing coaches in Lagos State said on Wednesday that they had shelved their proposed protest over unpaid allowances.
The coaches' Spokesman, Daniel Adekunle-Fasiso, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the protest was shelved because of the intervention by Mr Olawale Edun.
Edun is a former Commissioner of Finance in Lagos State and the Chairman, Lagos Boxing Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame promotes the monthly Lagos Boxing Show, organised by the Lagos State Boxing Association on every last Saturday of the month.
Adekunle-Fasiso claimed in Lagos that the protest was to compel the organisers of the monthly boxing competition to pay their due allowances after the last edition of the tournament.
He alleged that the coaches were short-changed after the Governor's Belt competition on Dec. 26 last year.
Adekunle-Fasiso said the coaches who groomed boxers for the popular boxing show were given only N25, 000 to share after the competition.
"We know that the state and Edun, who is the symbol of the competition, could not have given us that paltry sum.
"It is the plan of a few corrupt officers in the administrative chain to short-change us.
"If not for Edun who got wind of the protest and arranged to meet with the coaches for a peace talk, the protest would have commenced," the coach said.
He added that the amount was far below the expectation of the coaches who rejected the money.
However, Ewa Henshaw, the Secretary, Adopt-A-Talent Programme of the Lagos State Grassroots Sports Development, told NAN that the allegation was unfounded.
Henshaw said the coaches had no specific amount to be paid to them during such competitions.
He advised the coaches to always be objective and ensure they put in their best in the service of the state and the nation at large. (NAN)

text: Can't say its 100% surprising, but it is just disappointing. I really thought he would finally break out this year, after two years around 100 OPS+. But he posted a stat line so far of.181 .277 .265 with 22ks in 80 ABs. I assume they think there is something he can work on in the minors, or they just want to give him some confidence. Is there any insight on what hes been struggling on? I know that at 23 hes still very young, so he could still come back and be that all-star we had hoped, but after nearly 800 abs its just a bit disappointing to see him sent back down.

The young people will get what they deserve, just like the young of Germany got with following their Fuhr. It is an old story in history.

They will not be able to avoid answering to their decisions, for probably the first time, in this world of shedding responsibility for our mistakes.

Number of ratings 10 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
great professor for research methods! as someone who is definitely NOT a math person, Dr. Jay made it easy to understand and was very helpful with providing examples and extra help in class. Exams are fair if you study for them, and she makes the paper-writing process (for PURC) easy step by step
I am currently taking biopsych with this professor. Although her class isn't easy, i don't think it's unreasonable. She presents everything very clearly and is open to questions at any time. Her notes are exactly what is on the test, you just need to put the time in and study!
She is very useful when you need her. Her test are hard and she is a hard grader. You need to really foucs and do ALL of the readings. For each class you have to read a chapter and they are very long.She expects a lot from her students.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Janschewitz for Research Methods 1. I had her this past semester. She's extremely helpful and makes everything crystal clear. This class isn't the easiest, but she does her best to make it easier and I got an A in the class. I ended up really enjoying the class too!
Took her for Bio-Psych. She is a great teacher, and I learned a ton, but this is no easy class. She expects alot and the tests are hard, but if you want the challenge, take her, shes helpful and a good teacher. If you want an easy A though, steer clear!
My favorite professor at Marist by far. The class itself can be difficult but she makes things very clear and is always available for extra help. She really wants her students to do well and will try to get everyone involved in class. She's extremely easy to get along with. Take any class you can with her!
She gives feedback on the writing, but is NOT an easy professor by any means. Grades very harsh.
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable professor with a great sense of humor, even with a topic such as biopsychology. Hands down one of my favorite professors at Marist.
very well prepared and gave us excellent feedback on our writing
the material wasn't easy but Dr.J made it easier to understand.. tests were hard and the research paper takes a lot of effort.. but overally i would definitely take her class again if i could.. she is extremely approachable and always willing to help.. 4 tests, about 10 labs, no midterm or final, and a 12 page research paper

A rant about our use of the English language.
|The word irregardless is misused everyday. Politicians misuse it. Teachers misuse it. Priests misuse it. Sportscasters and journalists are most guilty of misusing it. People use it to begin a declaration. People use it to justify a course of action. People use it to dispute anothers point of view. So what is the correct usage of the word irregardless?
Thats right, folks, there is no correct usage of the word irregardless. How is this possible? Because the word irregardless is not a word. It is not a word in English. Nor is irregardless a word in German, French, Haitian-Creole, Pig Latin, or even Spanglish.
We have all heard people in making light of President George W. Bushs unique interpretation of the English language. Let he who is without this sin cast the first politically charged quip. I know that strategery and compassionativity are not real words, but are they any more brainless than irregardless? If you do not get this point I suggest you look up the word hypocrisy.
I tested my irregardless theory by typing it in the title of this article. My thinking was that MSWord would not recognize it and notify me of its nonexistence with one of those adorable squiggly red lines. I was almost right. Surprisingly Word did recognize it, but it also provided the slightly less adorable squiggly green line. When I right clicked on the word, Bill Gates informed me that irregardless is a non-standard word, a.k.a. slang. He then went on to suggest that I replace it with a word that actually does exist, notably the word regardless.
I understand that the English language is liquid. As our society and technology evolves so does our vocabulary. Three decades ago the word Internet did not exist. Inter existed as did net, but not Internet. When I was a child using the slang aint was cause for a note to my mother. These days it aint as bad as it once was. I trust that before I die I will hear the Prime Minister of England in an address to Parliament say, We are fixin to adjourn to the anteroom for tea and crumpets.
One could also say that if enough people misuse irregardless that it will become a normal part of the American lexicon. It has happened before. A look at a dictionary from the fifties will most likely produce only one pronunciation for the word pecan. That would be puh-kahn. Thumb through a modern dictionary and you might find as many as three pronunciations, puh-kahn, pē-kahn, and pē-can. Enough people (or at least enough people named Webster) mispronounced the word that it is now correct to use any of the three.
It is possible that our civilization may perhaps erode enough to allow this to happen with irregardless, but to what end? The dictionary entry might look like this:
ir-re-gard-less, v, (origin ignorance, most likely derived from regardless). Definition regardless.
Why invent a bigger word to replace a word we already have that contains fewer letters and one less syllable? Because we all want people to think we are intelligent. If we admit that irregardless is not a word then we look less intelligent for having used it, but here is the catch, Mr. Professor, if you use the word irregardless in a sentence then you not only appear unintelligent, you are unintelligent.
Use it in a public address and you lose a third of your audience. Why? Because now all they can focus on is that irregardless is not a word. They may begin ruminating on what an imbecile you must be. They might rant in their head. In my case I would recite this very rant in my head, with a Scottish accent because I love the way they roll their Rs.
Nevertheless, you have lost them and it is doubtful that you will get them back, especially if you go on by mispronouncing the word applicable. It is not uh-plic-able beginning with a mind numbing uh and placing the emphasis on the plic. Have you ever filled out a job uh-plic-ation? No, you filled out an ap-pli-cation. The word is ap-pli-cable. Emphasis on the a, soft pli, and followed by a strong cable.
It should not be that hard to replace irregardless, just substitute it with regardless. It is practically the same sound just without the ir. To err is human, to ir is inane. It is just a syllable; let it go. Ever heard a professor give a 1500 syllable term paper? Eliminate the extra syllable and you begin the journey from dolt to scholar.
In summation and in review:
Irregardless not a word, pecan can be pronounced puh-kahn, pē-kahn, and pē-can, while applicable can only be pronounced ap-pli-cable, the Scottish sound cool when they roll their Rs, and the Prime Minister may one day use fixin in a sentence. All and all, that aint too bad.

Solenn Heussaff, comfortable doing the steamy scenes with Richard Gutierrez
"I just do what my director tells me to do. Besides, I like working with Richard since we've done a movie before. We are very good friends so there's no awkward moment even if we are doing a love scene," says Solenn.
In this movie, she will show a feisty, powerful and fierce Sophia. Her character gets what she wants, anytime, anywhere. She obsesses with Richard's character after getting saved from a fire. Hero or not, she chooses to take economics on a play and hires him to do more than put out fire. She makes the longer nights burn and gets him an offer he can't resist.
Solenn said she even got pointers from Sarah (Lahbati) because she already has done a couple of dramatic projects which she's not quite used yet in the beginning. Solenn said good things about Sarah during the presscon.
"Seduction" also marks the return of noted filmmaker Peque Gallaga (who is behind the acclaimed films "Oro, Plata, Mata" (1982) and "Scorpio Nights" (1985)) to directing. He was inactive in the film scene for quite a while and there must be something in "Seduction" that made him come out of retirement and agreed to do it.
Regal Films' "Seduction" opens in cinemas nationwide on January 30.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) – Neither the Packers nor Vikings played in Super Bowl XLVII, but local football fans still seemed excited to watch the big game.
Dozens decided to watch the Ravens play the 49ers at Howie's on La Crosse, cheering on their favorite team and enjoying the commercials.
Many who opted to watch the game at home took a trip to Festival Foods this afternoon to pick up some game-time snacks.
The 2-5 p.m. crowd made the biggest rush, according to assistant store director Bob Hayter.
"It's a big push, so we know it's coming and we prepare for it," Hayter said. "So what we do is we have some extra cashiers and baggers, and we have enough people in all of our departments to take care of our customers when they come in."
Hayter said popular Super Bowl foods include summer sausage, sodas, chips and dip, and beer.

Dorchester youngsters plant trees for Jubilee Woods scheme
5:00pm Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News By Rachel Stretton, Senior Reporter
CHILDREN put down roots for their future at a tree planting in Dorchester.
Year 5 pupils at Dorchester Middle School planted 18 trees as part of the national Jubilee Woods campaign, and learnt about the sustainability of woodland at a talk by a timber expert.
Head of year Fiona Ray said the youngsters 'really enjoyed the event'.
She said: "It's nice that this year group got to plant the trees because they have only been at the school a few weeks and they've already made a contribution.
"We have planted them along the railings on the field, and as there's very little shade there at the moment, this is something they will provide when they grow."
She added: "The children are aged nine and 10 at the moment, and the trees are something they will hopefully be able to bring their great-grandchildren to see."
The Jubilee Woods project is run by the Woodland Trust and hopes to see six million trees planted all over the country in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The planting also marked the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Friday campaign, which aims to promote responsible forestry.
Dorset-based builders merchants Buildrite Trade and DIY supplies LTD, who are hoping to achieve FSC accreditation, presented the trees to the school on behalf of SCA Timber.
Jason House, from Buildrite, said: "More and more, people are looking for products that come wholly from a registered source, which is sustainable.
"Mike Lewis from SCA and I gave a presentation about where wood comes from, and why we plant three trees for each one that is cut down.
"I think it's really important that the next generation learns about that."
Mrs Ray added: "The presentation was really good and a lot of it supports what they are learning about in science lessons this year.
"This generation of children are so different to the children I was teaching 10 years ago. They know about recycling, sustainability and renewable sources, and they want to make sure our planet is safe and in good hands."

As a kid growing up on the sounds of the Native Tongues and the socially conscious hip hop of the late 80's and early 90's, it must have been hard for Jean-Baptiste de Laubier to imagine a future as one of the biggest names in French electronic music. Getting his start with rap outfit TTC on Big Dada at the turn of the century, Para One gradually crossed over into electronic territories with his first solo releases on Institubes. His breakout single Dundun-Dun propelled him unto the radars of folks like Mr. Oizo, Boys Noize & Daft Punk.
Returning from his absence on the production circuit in 2010 saw Para One rake in collaborative projects with Tacteel, San Serac, Das Glow and Teki Latex, before dropping his third full-length, Passion, in 2012. In congruence with large parts of the French beat scene, the Para One sound certainly has electrified over the years!

Are you accused of assault?
Assault charges could be filed as either a misdemeanor or felony. In either case, you could be facing very heavy penalties if you are convicted of the crime. The charges can be filed even if there was never any actual physical contact and only a threat was claimed to have been made that put the alleged victim in fear of immediate harm. The least serious assault charge will be filed as a 4th degree assault. This is a gross misdemeanor with potential penalties of up to 90 days in jail. Never proceed into court on any level of assault charges without a high quality Seattle criminal defense lawyer from Blair & Kim, PLLC protecting you, your rights and your freedom. Our lead criminal defense lawyer is a former prosecutor who has handled over 15,000 cases, and has
Penalties for Assault Charges in Seattle
Assault charges do not require that any physical contact actually occurred between you and the alleged victim. Just a verbal threat against another person in which it is claimed the individual was in fear of immediate harm can lead to charges of assault. Cases involving criminal accusations of assault against a law enforcement officer have enhanced penalties. If you are facing charges of assault, whether assault and battery, sexual assault, assault with a deadly weapon or other form of assault, you could be facing extensive time in jail or prison, based upon the actual details of the case, and the degree of the injuries that are alleged to have been inflicted. This is a violent crime and can carry extremely heavy penalties.
In cases in which a police officer, nurse, doctor, public transportation operator or certain other professional were the alleged victim of the assault, the charged are filed as a 3rd degree assault, which is a Class C felony under CW 9A.36.031. The penalties imposed in such a case can include up to 43 months in prison as well as fines ranging as high as $10,000. For those who have a prior criminal record, it is likely that a long sentence will be imposed by the court. 2nd degree assault charges are filed against those who are alleged to have assault another person by strangulation, torture, inflicted substantial bodily harm upon another person, injured an unborn child due to an assault on the mother, or assaulted another person while engaged in committing another felony offense such as burglary, or poisoning. This is a Class B felony and will include years in prison in a conviction in many cases. 1 st degree assault is a Class A felony which carries potential penalties of up to 123 months in prison and fines as high as $50,000. In cases in which a firearm or other weapon was used in committing the crime, the penalties under state law are increased.
If you are facing charges of assault, contact a Seattle criminal defense attorney from Blair & Kim, PLLC at once.

Senator John Thune has released a statement regarding Mitt Romney's choice of running mate:
"Paul Ryan is a solid choice by Mitt Romney to serve as his Vice Presidential running mate. The failed economic policies of the last three and a half years under President Obama's watch have left America with staggering debt and deficits. Governor Romney understands what it takes to turn this ship around, strengthen our economy, and get America working again. I congratulate the Governor on his selection and look forward to working to elect a Romney-Ryan ticket in November."

Day 269 - A realization on responsibility.
I was walking outside and I saw a couple of kids playing under a tree that sheltered them into a make-belief house. At first I thought that I saw a play that had just ended in a fight, but as I came closer it became apparent that they were playing a family that fought.
I heard some of what the kids were saying when I walked past them and the words spoken within the fight made no sense. It seemed to be just fighting for the sake of fighting - playing that which family life apparently consists of much in the same way as cooking or doing laundry without a deeper understanding of what the action is about.
I walked onward and I started to consider how I've acted when I was a child. I approach the topic through games because that is an environment (though an artificial one) where I've previously "spawned to a new world", and because I couldn't remember my own childhood with the required specificity.
I realized that whenever I've started a new game I've always looked around at what others are doing. I've practiced and learned through imitation, and in this I usually end up doing lots of stupid things because I trust that the people who I imitate "know better" even though they do not. It always takes a while (depending on the complexity of the game) for me to learn how to play for myself - in a way where I no longer imitate (for example: walking to a destination with others instead of following others without knowing the destination).
I realized that the children probably didn't understand that what they were playing was the result of a dysfunction. They thought it to be normal and they "practiced" to do it (playing is practice) to prepare them for life - or what they perceived and believed life to be which is that which they saw around them.
I then remembered a conversation with a friend of mine who just became a dad. He was thinking about what to teach the child and what to keep hidden from the child - an example of something to teach was his knack with mechanical things and one thing to hide was that he smoked. We ended up realizing that it is impossible to keep things hidden from a person with whom you live for close to 18 years, and thereby the child will learn who his/her parents are instead of what they are trying to teach him/her.
This all came together in a realization that because of this point - because of the nature of children - my responsibility is to be the best that I can be. Not according to some societal standards or by the standards of my own self-interest, but according to the standards of being human itself. Firstly I "owe" this to myself because I am the one who lives my life - I am the one who experiences it all - and through honesty, integrity, discipline, a sense of equality and being a man of my word (actually living what I speak) I will most definitely "grant" myself a good life. Secondly I "owe" it to my future child(ren) because who I am will be the example that he/she(they) will imitate when learning how to live...
...And through my kids (through who I am - who they "get to" imitate) I influence the world that continues to turn long after I am gone...

While utilizing the world as my studio, I strive to create unexpected compositions of people and the unusual spaces they occupy. Combining both natural light and studio strobes, I sculpt light to create a mood, an atmosphere, a photograph that tells a story and, hopefully, sparks curiosity in the viewer. I love taking on additional roles during my projects: art director, producer, location scout, wardrobe stylist, assistant, retoucher; but nothing is more enriching than collaborating with a dedicated team of like-minded creatives who help me realise my vision. It's been a long road from Switzerland to California and now Germany, from Science to Graphic Design, from New Media to Photography. No matter what the medium is, being able to create, meet extraordinary people, and travel this stunning world is the ultimate reward. "At the age of nine, I would draw caricatures of my dad's work-colleagues during business dinners. They got passed around and generated some great laughs, except for one woman. I later found out that the woman I drew with emphasized wrinkles and exaggerated features, got a face-lift soon thereafter. From that day on, I knew I would always be doing art, that it could change the world, or at least inspire facial reconstruction."
