and focusing more defiance at the rich and powerful who rob us blind would be wise if we really want to sound like Catholics critiquing an incompetent and corrupt state:
Perhaps focusing less contempt on the poor and vulnerable who need our help…

Mark, I can't make out what it says in the blue lettering bottom right. Is that the source of the statistics quoted? If it is, will you tell me what it says so I can verify before I share it? If it isn't, will you cite your source, so I can share that? Thank you.

I'd love to see vetted stats since the only sources I can find for this image are the Democratic Underground. BTW, that's not a "ritually impure" site, it's what we might term a "filthy, utterly untrustworthy" site.
In any event, I've long believed that corporate welfare vastly outstripped personal welfare, but I need clean stats if I'm going to publish that.

I would add the enormous luxury budget items we now have that did not exist in the 1970′s like the phone budget and the cable budget and the household IT budget.
This is the reconstruction of our concept of our national wealth. Once, our communal wealth was something in which we took pride , such as our library or our parks. But now, the evil of the age has led us to think taxes for this is socialism and redistribution, and this is a thought process led by Acton and First Thing. We have re-structured our national wealth to personal luxury away from communal wealth.
- Andy
Our political parties have come to worship mammon – as long as Wall Street does well, all is well right he world. People loosing jobs, being food or housing insecure, medically insecure – all their fault-heaven forfend however, that a corporation pay its own way.
One needs to only read what various popes have written to see the evil of what we have done with our economy and how we view people who work – as commodities to be thrown away when they are no longer the current model.
- Dan C
In terms of restructuring how we view economic life, attempting to appeal to the base instinct of selfishness of our society and its radical individualism as if this is divine (this is a gift of the impact of the Moral Majority and political Evangelicism'a pagan tendencies.
It is not as if Wall Street does not get a huge philosophical support from a certain arm of Catholicism. This is a huge problem. It will be routine on EWTN in a year to openly critique Caritatas in Veritate and folks like Maradiago.
It nearly is now.
- Andy
The philosophical boost that Wall Street receives is the most troubling component in our current society. The reduction of people to the status of commodities, the growing lack of recognition that wealth is not for private consumption, but rather to support the world boggles the mind.
The deliberate pattern of ignoring what has been written by numerous popes and even seen int the Bible is beyond the pale. I do not think it will be a year and EWTN will be critical of Caritatas in Veritate, will give short shrift to Catholic Social teaching – I unfortunately see it happening in small way now and these small ways will only expand.
The prosperity gospel has replaced, I think for a segment and a growing segment Catholics the gospels of the Bible and the teaching of Jesus.
- Dan C
The capacity for open dissent ong the self-proclaimed orthodox has increased. Let Mueller at CDF have some positive things to say about liberation theology, let the martyrs of San Salvador's UCA be acclaimed more prominently at the Vatican and we will see far far more division in American Catholicism.
- Andy
You are so right!
- Dan C
Catholics have had a long slow dance with political Evangelicalism. We have now heard that we need (as the allegory goes) to put a little distance- save some room for the Holy Spirit-between us and our dance partner. Political Evangelicalism has too close an association with elements of conservativism easily summarized as promoting a "You're On Your Own" rugged individualism for both individuals and families. Catholics have, since the Gospel and The Acts of the Apostles, recognized the community as vital and an enormous priority.
- MClark7
The numbers are bogus. A married couple with $50000/yr and one kid only pay about $1900 in income taxes, so how can they pay $4000 in corporate subsidies? The other line items don't match up with what the whitehouse says the income tax pays for: http://www.whitehouse.gov/2012-taxreceipt What constitutes a corporate subsidy, exactly? NASA research contracts? Wind and solar research? DOD research contracts? The mortgage interest tax deduction? Internet memes are to provoke an emotional response, not provide any kind of factual data or careful reasoning.
- Ken Crawford
I completely agree. The fact that $4000 is a round number also suggest is is a highly estimated number and thus not very reliable.
My guess is the logic behind it is that there are all sorts of tax breaks for corporations who do certain things and loopholes they can use to reduce their taxes. So what they did was come up with an estimated number of how much money that was, divide it by the number of households in the US and say that's the subsidy the $50k person is "paying".
BTW, it's clear they very carefully picked a person/family in a tax bracket that wouldn't look like they didn't pay much taxes, thus artificially making the numbers spent on charitable things look really small, just because they don't pay a lot of federal taxes.
- Dan C
What we spend our national wealth on is obvious. Spending is for the military and this is spent in ways to secure supply lines for resources for the nation.
What we have never budgeted is such things as serious disaster relief that would involve "nation-re-building", such as for largely Catholic countries as Haiti or Philippines. We have budgeted, to the cheers many Catholics, wars of choice.
We as Catholics are not anti-government. No read of Caritas in Veritate or Paul 6th PP can accept libertarianism or Norquist-style government budgets as Catholic. Our priorities as Catholic citizens is clear- personal wealth, and militarism (with dehumanizing jingoism). This is what we have spent our money on these last 25 years.

It's as if the Church taught that "Economic activity, especially the activity of a market economy, cannot be conducted in an institutional, juridical or political vacuum. On the contrary, it presupposes sure guarantees of individual freedom and private property, as well as a stable currency and efficient public services. Hence the principle task of the State is to guarantee this security, so that those who work and produce can enjoy the fruits of their labours and thus feel encouraged to work efficiently and honestly."
Never mind, that's exactly what was taught in Centesimus Annus § 48. As usual, the American political dichotomy manages to miss the principle(s) enunciated in the social doctrine in spectacular fashion from either direction.
- Dan C
I claim neo-liberalism is a project which had attempted to re-align Reagan Democrats who bought into Willie Horton scares and were seduced by the inaccurate and unfair language of "welfare queens" to come back into the Democratic voting block.
Neo-liberalism's project of welfare means-testing and local decentralized administration through block grants is a failure with shockingly disparate usages of block granted money Medical Assistance in a state like Alabama vs. Massachusetts. The persistent and endless need to go to office after office reporducing documents for means-testing on routine bases is not only inefficient, but a barrier to service delivery.
Subsidiarity is the Church's approach, but this also demands good, expert and competent actors at the local level in addition to a relief from the constant regulatory burden of neo-liberalism.
As a policy construct, it is inefficient, inept and unevenly exercised. It should be seen as a failure.
- ivan_the_mad
I won't contest your claim.
- Mark S. (not for Shea)
If you have 2 cloaks and your neighbor has none, then your 2nd cloak belongs to your neighbor. If you don't give it to him, it is you who are the thief. All our modern talk of "market forces" cannot do away with that.
Basic economic morality is really quite simple.
- Dan C
One needs to reference the lives and words of the Fathers of the Church for this.
Also, one can see an administrative charitable arm in Gregory's Rome as he responsibly becomes the government and develops a welfare program.
If the First Things Party of Catholicism wants to end welfare, the roadmap has been laid out before it. It has to have something in place to replace it. First.
- Clare Krishan
Caveat: in Greek Luke's "ὁ ἔχων δύο χιτῶνας μεταδότω τῷ μὴ ἔχοντι" doesn't mean "your 2nd cloak belongs to your neighbor"
"metadotou" means something like split-gift with the "no-ekhonti" or non-kitted-out ones (an anagram coincidentally of the word for cloak — χιτών khiton — the "kitted-out" one, hence Latin 'tunic,' Arabic 'tiraz'*). Note St. Martin's heroic generosity wasn't that he shared the 'ownership' of his cloak with a naked indigent but that he risked his whole livelihood by cutting the uniform that belonged to the Roman Empire in half – an offense that would have meant he would have been fired from his privileged position of honor, and become an outcast despised and detested as a beggar himself. His gift was totally self-emptying not merely "divide by two" sharing…
* In ancient civilizations where taxes could be paid in kind, cloth was 'owned' by the state-potentate and he would gift woven garments to his liege lords and bureaucrats, a custom Islamic cultures continued with fine tiraz textiles (tagged with "Property of the Sultan" on the selvedge edge rather like our penitentiary uniforms or hospital gowns do today) as this presentation by Jochen A. Sokoly, Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar illustrates

Material goods were tokens signifying the great grace of their creator-benefactors. Indeed anything we have, our talents and skills and the goods we acquire thereby, is gift, a grace that was freely given by God, pro bono communis for the common good of all his precious children including the unborn. Do we share out kit with all naked un-kitted out ones, or only those we wish to see?
- SatelOb
Those figures look pretty suspicious. Citation Needed. Or better yet: Figures made up out of the air are useless, so just take it down.
Not to mention, is the implication that I should be more pissed off at corporations than the government? The government has far more direct power over us and they sure do abuse it. Not really a big fan of corporations, but it's clear that the government is worse because it wields more power.
- Dan C
This is not true. That the power one wields indicates error and culpability is not true. Populist appeal in America (and not other countries) tends to this.
This is not the thinking process of any of the social encyclicals.
- Andy
I think an examination of how our laws come to be would show you that corporations have far greater control over what happens to us through the government, then the government alone. It is called money talks.
- Andy
Regardless of the source for the above chart- from Archbishop Chaput – I guess he is not ritually impure, nor is he known to be soft on capitalism – I copied these excerpts from Whispers in the Loggia from his keynote Vatican-organized Mexico City conference on Guadalupe, the New Evangelization, and the Continental Mission declared by the now-Pope Francis
Archbishop Chaput said: "Poverty is an acid that destroys human
kinship. It burns away the bonds of mutual love and obligation that make
individuals into a community. The United States is the richest, most
powerful nation in history. But one in every six persons in my country
now lives below the poverty line. And poverty always, inevitably comes with a family of other ugly issues: hunger, homelessness, street crime, domestic violence, unemployment, human trafficking.
All of these evils now belong to the shadow side of both urban and rural life in my country. They eat away at our sense of justice. They undermine the integrity of our public discourse. The trouble is that the economy of the United States still
succeeds so well for so many of its people that the poor become invisible. And being invisible, they can be ignored."
I would add to being ignored, they are easy to vilify because they have no advocates, as they can't afford them. I look at some of the comments made
about the poor on Catholic websites and I am shocked by their lack of human
compassion let alone civility. Poverty and our disdain for those who live in poverty, and our worship of our own comforts, has eaten away at our ability to see the humanity in others, it is an acid as the Archbishop says. I would only question if the economy really works that well for so many of us, or if we are living on borrowed time, so to speak.
He also said: "Real human development takes more – much more – than better science, better management and better consumer goods, though all these things are wonderful in their place. Human happiness can't be separated from the human thirst for meaning. Material things can't provide that
meaning. Abundance can murder thesoul as easily as scarcity can. It's just a different kind of poverty."
Our fascination with the cult of the manager as being the solver of all problems, that latest and greatest and more science, and that more money is better, is as I read this replaced our concern of others and meaning. Meaning – the ultimate question of why am I here is hard to answer when one has to only buy an object to find a sense of satisfaction – of course this satisfaction slips away so quickly. I see in many an empty stare, myself included, that comes about when I look for a way toignore what my greed, our greed is doing.
Further he says: "And like material poverty, moral poverty has consequences. It
brings fear of new life, a turning away from children, confused sexuality and
broken marriages. It results in greed, depression, ugliness and aggression in our popular culture, and laws without grounding in truth."
I think the above speaks for itself. I would recommend reading the entire
address – it was powerful, and seems to be the Archbishop's way of moving
towards a view of evangelization in line with Pope Francis, a focus on what
poverty causes and that we must reach out to those who live in poverty.
- Dan C
I read that this weekend on First Things. It was very good and a substantially different tone than anything else he has written thus far.
I would hesitate to consider that when we speak of, as Christians "much more than material wealth" is needed, we should be understand this as "much more than mere wealth" or material needs are required. Then I have absolutely nothing to argue about with the speaker.
I would hesitate also to reject the role of the manager. In Pope Gregory's Rome, he developed an intense adminsitrative structure in which there is developed the role of the manager. It overlapped as the a feature called the diaconnia that also named the building of a parish in which a modestly sophisticated welfare enterprise evolved.
- Dan C
As far as the execution of a task, I have decided that the performance of tasks done well is a virtue lost today. So, I do expect competence and expertise with the delivery of charity and welfare.
- Andy
I am trying to respond to both, while advising grad students on the thesis – please forgive my disjointed response
I am not rejecting the manager, I am suggesting that we have a cult of the manager – we look to someone else to solve a problem, to be the leader instead of looking to ourselves. I expect competence in activities , but I know that competence must be learned and that it is learned by doing. I agree that doing one's job well is a virtue that is lost today – we value expediency and rapidity instead of thoughtfulness and diligence leading to lasting results.
When I read this I wondered if this was the same Archbishop who seems so removed from the people at times. I agree with your comment about wealth, it is my belief that we now view wealth as the end-all and be-all. We have moved away from valuing our fellow travelers on this world and it in these relationships we find the missing wealth.
- Clare Krishan
It is perhaps unfortunate that the polemical "make" can be misunderstood in many ways. The numerical metric used to measure the "making" is in itself not static, for the Fed is the one who "makes" dollars. Their purchasing power is "made" by those who attempt to use them in exchange for something else in a free-will bargaining over price. Some 'earn' income actively via their own labor exertions for which they are remunerated by an employer or benefactor (creative artists exchange the value of the works they sell not the value of their labor time it took to create the work, they don't "make" the value, their patron esteems it). Some others earn income passively from the assets they invest to "make" returns via computer-aided trading on global stock exchanges, futures exchanges and associated shadow banking rehypothecations of these same assets. The "makers" of what we call 'money' are the ones who control what the value of the circulating currency is worth. That would be the central bankers who bail out their client banks using…. nothing real, just a computer-data entry in their electronic accounts. They "make" it up as they go along… pumping currency units into the world's economy that dilute the purchasing value of those already in use, "made" and exchanged as income by previous banking transactions. This inflationary activity is called seignorage and it is completely undemocratic. Senora Janet Yellen will be in charge of the "making" of new monies – to the tune of $85 billion a month – next year when Senor Ben Bernanke steps down as Chairman of "making" dollar money.
- Clare Krishan
incidentally the "you pay" is equally polemical.
Currently all taxes don't cover all outlays. Your children will be left "paying" our deficits. Meanwhile the salaried stewards of large corporations have pocketed their bonuses in tax-sheltered off-shore accounts to "make" more money from the bailout monies our grandchildren children may still be left paying for (retirees' Medicare is paid for by payroll-withholding of current workers not from "savings" of past workers, that went to pay pensions then). Note the costs of waging World War II have not all been incurred yet – expenses for current VA benefits to geriatric soldiers is ongoing. Same for Korean war, Vietnam war, Iraq, Afghanistan. The DOD is different line item on the budget from the VA.
Time flows in reverse as all ideological dictats based on "futuribles" – Marxist or Keynsian – do. Extraction is practised by the mafia in the same way: "Fate can be cruel taskmaster, cough up the goods now and we'll ensure you avert disaster later"
- http://www.likelierthings.com/ Jon W
Your children will be left "paying" our deficits.
Hey, what's up with the argument that we can just carry debt perpetually, and the only real worry is our ability to service that debt? I mean, I know that eventually people (our own, China, et al) will stop loaning us money and then we'll have to do a bit of belt tightening then, but as long as people continue to loan us money, we don't really have to worry about how much debt is actually on the books.
- Clare Krishan
I didn't make a distinction between the two, did I? I simply corrected the incomplete logic of the rhetorical expression "you pay" since that payment didn't clear due to insufficient funds. Fact: part of any tax withheld is shaved off as an interest payment to cover past insufficient taxes. That's detrimental to all the data on the chart: they would have to be redacted downwards for the sum lost to our creditors using a parenthetical expression perhaps for the share of the new debtor-sum incurred per taxpayer expressing the resulting increase in interest payment thereby occasioned, perhaps with footnoted by an asterisk "subject to change" depending on the price of borrowed funds determined by the Fed.)
So you see its not the "economy" per se that needs the QE funds that are flooding the markets with cheap money, its the government… if the Fed tapers, it will scupper the fiscal budget and the whole house of cards will come tumbling down…
- http://www.likelierthings.com/ Jon W
Sorry, Clare. Just to be clear: I wasn't in any way criticizing you. You just seem knowledgeable, and I wanted to know what you thought. (I will read your posts more carefully tomorrow. My areas of expertise are theology, philosophy, English, and physics. Economic and tax jargon takes me a long time to process.)
- Clare Krishan
O criticize me do – if there's a hole in my argument I'd be more than glad to be able to relax the anxiety I'm feeling about the situation we find ourselves in. Paying interest on past-due interest can't be part of the natural law, surely?
- Elmwood
Wow! Subsidies suck.

Back in August I had the opportunity of being invited to photograph the Charleston Area Wedding Planners Summer Seminar with Peggy Post. While these images were ready the week following the event and also shared on The Wedding Row, I am just now making time to share them here. This event is put on each year by a few wonderful wedding planner ladies and is an opportunity for all of the Charleston area wedding planners to come together, socialize, network, and learn about a topic specifically relevant to wedding planning. It was such an honor to be behind the lens and get to meet and hear Mrs. Peggy Post speak on etiquette. The day came together beautifully at the newly renovated Coleman Hall and included many wonderful Charleston vendors.

I'm back to share the second half (part one here) of images from our trip to California last week. After a fun few days in San Francisco, Sonoma, and Yosemite, we headed east to Monterey. First off the drive back to the coast was beautiful in and of itself. We drove through some of the coolest, giant rolling hills that made our jaws drop. Once we got close to Monterey, we drove in we passed some neat dunes that met the Monterey Bay, and then explored a bit around Cannary Street and had an early lunch. The rest of the day we spent hiking just south of Carmel before finding our hotel for the night and getting ready to actually hit the Pacific Coast Highway the next day.
That day driving from Monterey/Carmel to San Simeon was definitely one of our most favorites. The Pacific Coast Highway is insanely beautiful and scenic but just as scary and curvy as everyone says. I'm not a fan of heights so being thousands of feet above the Pacific Ocean on the side of a mountain really had me squirming at times. But there was just no denying how absolutely beautiful and awe-worthy every turn was. We were so grateful to have the most perfect weather, too, nearly the entire trip. That day was no exception, as you'll often hear about the fog that can diminish the views. Fortunately we had nothing but sunshine and windows down temps! There are so many pull-off's and vista points and we definitely stopped at our fair share.
After landing in the little town of San Simeon that evening (we passed on touring the Heart Castle, by the way, which is the most popular attraction in San Simeon), we spent our second to last day going from San Simeon to Thousand Oaks, Ca, and finally spent our last full day enjoying Malibu and Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles. Again, I've included some of our favorite spots and stops at the bottom of the post.
I know we will cherish these images for so long…it was pretty new for us to plan such an un-planned and flexible vacation, but I know we'll look back at these images a few years down the road and remember how amazing it felt to be so carefree and adventurous (well adventurous for us haha!). Sometime in December I'll share the film photos that I shot as well :) And again, these are a mix of DSLR and iPhone photos.
Hard to tell but those little rock islands out there are covered entirely with sea lions! They were so loud…we could hear them as we hiked toward them from the other side of the mountain.
One of my favorite things is how much Dustin really wants to learn to use my camera on manual. I thought it was so cute how focused he was trying to take this that I had to take a picture of him taking it haha.
This was at the stop before Bixby Bridge…which was less exciting than I thought it would be, but still pretty remarkable to see a bridge up that high.
Clearly he does not have the same fear of heights I do so he really enjoyed freaking me out as he'd stroll right up to the edge and look over.
This giant rock/island thing looks tiny here but it was enormous in person. There's several buildings and a lighthouse on it. It was insane to see this giant formation out there in the middle of all that pasture.
The berries on the left are from the Thousand Oaks farmers market (we bought raspberries and blackberries and they were so good!) and the drinks on the right are from lunch at Lucia Lodge.
We got to San Simeon about an hour before sunset, so we checked into our hotel and since there's literally nothing to do there, we bought a bottle of wine and drove across the street to watch the sun set on the beach and drink our wine from our paper Quality Inn cups. Keeping it classy here, obviously.
This panorama is from a beach just north of San Simeon…one of the few places we were actually able to get to the actual beach.
Pretty impossible to see in such a small photo, but on the right there are a dozen or so surfers down there in the ocean.
From the top of Point Dume…
Our favorites:
- Actually not a favorite but definitely worth noting, the 17 Mile Drive was was we felt the biggest waste of $10. Driving this part of Monterey takes you through the Pebble Beach area, home to "mansions" and "amazing views." Well I'm sure there are plenty of mansions in the community but you can't see any of them because these people have the biggest and most hardcore gates around their properties that we had ever seen lol. Don't get me wrong, the gates are beautiful and very expensive I'm sure haha! But we were hoping to see huge houses and the amazing views they have. We ended up joking and calling it the 7 mile drive because it was probably one for the first few miles that we were excited and then it wore off as we kept hoping the next turn would have something better in store…but it only got less interesting. We stopped for pictures along the rocks and crashing ocean at the very start of the drive but the houses in this part are all smaller and older; nothing you can't see elsewhere really. So we would not recommend taking the time to do this.
- Point Lobos State Natural Reserve: Just a few miles south of Carmel and such a fun place to hike. We saw a family of deer on the cliffs, lots of sea otters playing in the ocean, and hiked all the way around to a bigger area where an island full of sea lions were laid up and making all sorts of crazy sounds. One of our favorite and most fun hikes.
- Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park: We stopped here to hike the waterfall trail. The waterfall was smaller than we anticipated but still really beautiful. We also ended up hiking the valley view trail. Neither was exactly easy or one we thought we'd want to bring kids on (although we saw a few families and each time said they were stronger than us haha) but it was great exercise and the views at the top of the valley trail were so peaceful.
- Lucia Lodge Restaurant: The. Views. End of story. There aren't many options for places to eat once you pass through Big Sur…which we didn't know, as we happily cruised past those restaurants around 11-12ish. Quickling realizing we would be hungry soon but now understanding that we weren't exactly in an area suitable for restaurants, we thought we were out of luck for a few hours, until we came to Lucia Lodge. So we basically stopped out of necessity but it ended up being one of the most relaxing places we ate. I felt like we were in the Caribbean. The view was just stunning. It helped we had perfect weather that day…sunny and just warm enough but with a great breeze. We ate on the deck overlooking the ocean and although two burgers, a beer, and a glass of wine at this place isn't cheap, it was definitely one of my favorite spots. And really anywhere that has sweet potato fries is great in my book. Dustin referred to it as "the place with the $4 burger and $12 view" haha.
- McWay Falls: A quick stop to view a waterfall on the beach? Yes please. This is part of the Julia Pfieffer Burns State Park and the story about Julia and the house that once sat on the cliffs is pretty awesome. This was probably one of the most scenic spots. The water was unbelievably blue…amazing different shades of blue. And seeing a waterfall plunge to the beach is so neat.
- Piedras Blancas Elephant Seals: Another great highlight was watching these giant elephant seals spar with each other and then relax on the beach. There are a few different places to view the seals pretty close and fortunately we were at the less crowded end, but where there was also a FES volunteer who told us all about the elephant seals habits and lives. We watched them for probably 30 minutes…and laughed while they flopped all over one another, picked fights with random seals, used their little fingers to scratch themselves while they basked in the sun, and flipped dirt up on themselves. They also make the goofiest sounds.
- Sandy's Deli & Bakery in Cambria: A quick stop for a smoothie, bagel, and cinnamon roll was perfect. Kind people and the cutest little historic, artsy town.
- Montana de Oro State Park: We stopped here in the morning on our drive through Morro Bay and it was rainy and chilly but we still wanted to explore as much as we can without getting soaked. We drove around and found a beach area where Dustin discovered a little cave he was so excited over. Then we followed some surfers as they hiked over these massive dunes and came upon one of the most surreal views. We stood at the top of an ENORMOUS dune and looked down at the ocean while about a dozen surfers caught waves in the ocean below. It was one of the most impossible things to describe because the dune was so gigantic and sat so high above the ocean.
- Point Dume Natural Preserve: Another one of the most gorgeous views. We hiked both down to the beach and up to the top of Point Dume. Then we even walked back around and hiked down to this (off limits, but others were doing it too!) giant rock over the ocean. Malibu is absolutely gorgeous.
- The Sunset Restaurant in Malibu: This is where we had lunch Friday and it was again one of my favorite places we ate. You sit and look right out at the ocean, and it was warm, and sunny, and the food was so good. I had the BBQ, coleslaw, and sweet potato fries. You just can't lose when it comes to sweet potato fries.
- Fishbar in Manhattan Beach: We ate here on our last night and for being such a busy, eclectic spot the service was fast and good, and the food and drinks were great.

Dustin and I just returned from an amazing week on the West Coast. Rather than a full blown honyemoon after we were married 2 years ago, we went for just a long weekend at my parents condo in Cocoa Beach, Florida…a "minimoon" as we called it. Because our priority for the last few years has been our house renovation, we decided to slowly save up and plan a trip in a few years. After tossing around tons and tons of ideas and locations this year, we decided to head to California and drive the Pacific Coast Highway. Because we had a whole week to explore, we also spent time in Sonoma and drove east to Yosemite National Park before hitting the coast.
We had such a great trip and it was amazing spending so much quality time together seeing amazing new places we'd never seen. There is literally nothing better than exploring new places with your best friend. I decided to split our vacation pictures up into two posts, so these images below are from the day we arrived in San Francisco, the following day in Sonoma, and our time at Yosemite. These pictures are mostly from my DSLR but a few mixed in are from my iPhone. I also shot a few rolls of film but I won't be able to share those images for a few weeks. For those who love to travel, I listed out our favorite stops at the bottom of the post. Check back Friday for the coastal part of our trip!
Can you see us in the picture on the right? We are so tiny in front of that gigantic Sequoia!
Our favorites:
- Marin Headlands: This was our favorite spot to see the Golden Gate from. We were there at sunset and it was super crowded and really hard to find a parking spot (and cops were giving tickets to those parked illegally), but after driving pretty far up the hill we found a spot on the way down. The weather in San Francisco was perfect that day and we loved seeing the bridge soaked in the golden evening light. If we'd had more time, it would have been nice to have parked in a less crowded area and been able to hike some of the trails rather than being clumped all in with everyone else on the road.
- Sonoma Cheese Factory: We visited the cheese factory on Saturday morning before heading out to the wineries. We got some yummy cheese, crackers, and pickles and enjoyed them in the park right across the street. It was so good that we came back after wine tasting to get sandwiches and eat lunch in the park before heading to Yosemite. Sonoma was easily one of our favorite places…so quaint, charming, kind people, great shopping, and SO beautiful!
- Benziger Family Winery & Imagery Estate Winery: We did the biodynamic tram tour and tasting at Benziger and it was perfect! We learned so much about the process of wine making and how Benziger does things very differently…with a biodynamic approach. After the tour we got to taste 5 wines, and then got a complimentary tasting at their sister vineyard Imagery. The atmosphere was great for wine rookies like us haha…it was super comfortable and relaxed, and both vineyards were beautiful.
- The Giant Sequoia's at Yosemite: We probably hiked 5-6 miles that day in the most beautiful weather, in total peace, only seeing a handful of people because we opted to take the longer more involved trails. The trees were mindblowingly big and so beautiful! This part of the park is pretty out of the way but so worth it.
- Bett's Gold Coin Tavern: We stayed in Mariposa, about an hour outside of Yosemite. Both nights we were there we ate at Bett's and it was wonderful. The food was great but the atmosphere and company was even better. Mariposa is a small little mountain town so this sports bar was filled with locals and the most personable bar staff. We were lucky there were football games on both nights, and the second night (Monday) they also had a raffle for prizes during the game. It was so fun and one of the highlights of our time in Yosemite.
And a big shout out to my mom. It's not easy to leave home for an entire week when you have 2 dogs, 4 horses, and 5 chickens that need to be taken care of. My mom came from Maryland and stayed the whole week to take care of everyone and we are SO appreciative. We had a great time exchanging pictures all week, but I have to say this was my favorite. It made me wonder where on earth she was sleeping since this clearly was now the dog bed?

In early November, my associate photographer Roxanne was alongside Shannon and Philip for their cozy winter wedding at Old Wide Awake Plantation. Although it's not yet officially the winter season, Shannon and Philip were welcomed to Charleston with some of the coldest, wettest weather we've yet experienced this fall. Fortunately these two did not let it put a damper on their wedding, as they moved their previously scheduled outdoor wedding under the tent and kept the festivities going until their exit down the steps of the plantation house at the end of the night. We loved being a part of their day and wish the new Mr. and Mrs. Busch all the luck that a rainy day wedding could possibly bring :)

Their friends and family all spoke about how this day was long awaited. Jackie and Matt have been together for many years and faced many challenges that might pull an ordinary couple apart. But they are so clearly not ordinary, and their union was so clearly meant to be this October in their hometown of Camden, South Carolina. If I had to pick just three words to describe them (which would be hard, they have so many amazing qualities!), I'd choose poised, kind, and thoughtful. All day they both remained completely calm, with this unshakable inner peace but SO much excitement to go along with it. They were SO excited to finally see one another for their ceremony! Prior to making it official, they exchanged letters through messengers and I know it just fueled their excitement even more. And once they were formally announced as husband and wife? I've never seen such an outpouring of love as they walked together back up the aisle!
The evening was spent beneath the most stunning clear top tent at the Springdale Hall Club, and the Finesse Band literally made the party. They kept the dance floor packed all night and it was so obvious how enjoyable the entire celebration was for all of Jackie and Matt's family and friends. A truly classic southern soiree in Camden, planned and carried out by Meagan Warren Weddings.

Got some sleep at a truck stop in Pa and we are back on the road. Making up time for the late start.

I hate roads rips because well yes they have good times but this one mostly had bad times.

The deals will be announced later this week, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres have not yet announced the signings.

Wonderful relaxing cruise with special Tour in Mexico
Arrived from Austin,Texas stayed in Baton Rouge the night before and arrived at Port at about 11:00 A.M.
I was going to park at the Ship's parking but saw a parking garage directly across the road from the ship for $ 12.00 a day so parked there and took a free shuttle to the ship.
I was going to check my one suitcase, but did not exactly see where and no one volunteered to take it so ended up boarding with it.
Check-in was fast and smooth and being in Emerald Class boarded right after a wedding party and was in the Windjammer eating a delightful lunch by 12:30
Went to my cabin at 1:30 with my sole piece of luggage and was in the Pool by 2:00
Ship was very bright and clean and noticed staff almost everywhere tidying and polishing all the time all week long.
Food was excellent without exception in the main dining room and Windjammer.
Ice show was first class as were the main shows. Other Acts were in my opinion very More poor.
I used my time dining and had no trouble getting a seat with others whenever
I went to the dining room with no reservations. No waiting but I did tend to go between 6:00 and 6:15 which may have helped. Less

The FBI's motto is "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity." But given the FBI sting against Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow - a convicted felon who was freed from prison in 2003 because the feds got him to testify against a confederate - I suspect that a more apt motto might be "Fuggedaboutit."
The "crossfire" mentality that defines public discourse today has the obvious problem of ignoring the fact that most of us land somewhere in the middle, turning every debate into a shouting contest between the extremists who generate passion and ratings, and rarely reflecting the views of the majority in the middle. I've been saying for years that it might be just as entertaining, and certainly more productive, to see where ideological opposites find common ground. But until someone actually attempts it, we will keep spiraling down into extremism and incivility.
The news that Google executive Forrest Hayes died on a yacht after being injected with heroin by a "date" he met on a website that connects "sugar daddies" with "sugar babies" has prompted not only charges against the woman, 26-year-old Alix Tichelman, and an investigation of a similar death (ruled accidental) involving Ms. Tichelman in 2013, but also questions about the website that brought the dead husband and father into contact with the woman who literally killed him.

A - all bow - federal judge has ruled that California's death penalty is unconstitutional because the state's "dysfunctional administration" has meted out the punishment to more than 900 murderers but imposed it on "only 13" since 1978. That's too arbitrary, wrote U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney of Santa Ana. Besides, "the slight possibility of death, almost a generation after (killer Ernest Dewayne Jones) was first sentenced, violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment."

MONDAY, July 9 (HealthDay News) -- Women with unsuccessful use of fertility drugs are at a significantly reduced risk of young-onset breast cancer, according to a study published online July 6 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
To examine the association between fertility drug use and young-onset breast cancer, Chunyuan Fei, Ph.D., from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, N.C., and colleagues conducted a sister-matched case-control study that included 1,422 cases who were younger than age 50 years at diagnosis with breast cancer, enrolled within four years of diagnosis, and 1,669 breast cancer-free control sisters.
The researchers found that 288 participants reported using ovulation-stimulating drugs (193 clomiphene citrate only; 29 follicle-stimulating hormone only; 66 both). Compared with nonusers, women who had used fertility drugs had a nonsignificantly decreased risk of breast cancer (odds ratio [OR], 0.82; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 0.63 to 1.08). Compared with nonusers, women who had used fertility drugs but had not conceived a 10+ week pregnancy had a significantly decreased risk of breast cancer (OR, 0.62). Compared with unsuccessfully treated women, women who had conceived using fertility drugs had a significantly increased risk of breast cancer (OR, 1.82); their risk was similar to women who had not used fertility drugs (OR, 1.13; 95 percent CI, 0.78 to 1.64).
"In this sister-based case-control study, a history of unsuccessful use of ovulation-stimulating fertility drugs was associated with a statistically significantly reduced risk of young-onset breast cancer, but the occurrence of a stimulated 10+ week pregnancy appeared to offset the protective association," the authors write.

Beastmode, bonuses and being good
According to a report by Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is expected to skip the mandatory team minicamp next week because he wants a contract extension.
Lynch signed a four-year deal that paid him $30-million, including $6-million in the form of a signing bonus. The problem is he signed that contract two-years ago. Beastmode's base this season is $5-million and he's scheduled to make $5.5-million in 2015.
This is what happens when you get good. The 49ers are experiencing it and, to some degree, so are the Seahawks. People want to get paid. People want more of the pie. People want what they think they deserve. That's called human nature�and although Beastmode runs the ball with such ferocity it makes you question his humanity, he's apparently just like everybody else.
The way the game works in the NFL is the longer the contract the more up-front money you get in the form of a signing bonus. So guys sign these four and five-year deals, knowing they're going to break their word, break a signed contract after 2 or 3-years, but they keep the signing bonus up front.
This is disingenuous at best and malicious at worst. I'm all for players making the most money they can and too many NFL teams come back and ask for players to take pay cuts after they underperform their contracts. But they don't ask, nor would they ever receive, for signing bonuses to be returned.
But the player knows the longer the contract the more signing bonus he'll receive and then, when things go well, he's suddenly underpaid.
Marshawn Lynch signed his name to a contract�he should honor that contract. If he wasn't happy with his contract two-years ago he should never have signed the contract. But he did�because he wanted the signing bonus of a four-year deal. Let your conscience be your guide.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – The latest winter storm set to arrive in Westchester Sunday night into Monday morning has local teachers and students worried about their April vacation days.
Temperatures are expected to climb to the mid-30s during the day Sunday and then drop to the mid-teens at night, when snow will begin to fall. It is expected to continue throughout the day Monday, with shoreline communities getting more than those in the northern communities in the latest storm to hit the area, and first of March, after one of the snowiest Februaries on record.
Walter Panas High School seniors Catherine Faruolo, 17, and Eleanor Maloney, 18, said the snow is starting to get to them.
"I'm not feeling it," said Maloney, a senior at Walter Panas High School.
Faruolo said she lives on a hill in Cortlandt Manor, which makes these storms a real uphill climb just to get home. Both said they don't want to give up what's left of their April vacation days, but are trying to look for silver linings.
Similarly, Tom Robinson, of Peekskill, said if it is going to be cold, he would rather it snow, too, so that he can make snowmen with his toddler-age son and go skiing. Of course, the snow possess problems for even the most optimistic of winter sport fans.
"I just don't want to lose another day of school," said Robinson, who added Peekskill schools have already lost one day of its April break to make up for the excess of snow days this winter.
Another teacher in the White Plains School District said they have also lost some of its April vacation days, and may lose more Monday if the district decides to close due to the snow storm rolling into the area.

Video Walk Through Of iPhone 3.0 Software (video)
Perhaps the screen shots of iPhone 3.0 Software circulating the Net weren't enough for you? If not, then you're in luck, because the dudes and gals at Engadget scored a video walk through of the new and sort of soon to be released OS. The video's pacing is a bit slow, but shows the MMS capabilities, the built-in voice recording capability, spotlight search, copy/paste functionality and more.
