KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- "Operation Grainger Strike" lead to 55 more drug indictments from the Grainger County Grand jury on Monday.
It's part of Sheriff Scott Layel's effort to tackle drugs; one of his top priorities since he took office in 2010.
"If we don't make a stand right now and do something, our children aren't going to have a future," he said.
The "Grainger Strike" effort is a joint coalition between the Grainger County Sheriff's Office, the 4th Judicial Drug task Force and the T.B.I.
The sheriff's department has served more than 1,300 warrants over the past several months. Every time they're not on patrol or doing paperwork, deputies out getting drugs off the street.
"The momentum is beginning to turn in favor of law enforcement and I hope we are making the people proud. You can tell when the tide changes when illicit street drug prices sky rocket and that's what happening in our county," said Sheriff Layel. "We're a long way from winning this war on drugs but we we will continue to take one battle at a time".

A big "thanks" to my gracious readers who leave a flattering comment when I post about our family nights.
You guys are too kind.
Reading your comments I can almost forget that I only post the parts of family night that go as planned.
Tantrums? Sibling-squabbles? Kids on the time out bench? Frantically searching Google for ideas? The times we have to postpone family night for an hour or so because Jonathan and I are irritated at each other? The times I lose my patience in the middle of rocket ship assembly? What....I didn't include those parts of family night? Hmmmm....
It's kinda like how Lost in Laundry will never feature a picture of me without make-up on. You'll also never see an extreme close-up. Or a picture that's been taken from behind. That's the beauty of having a blog. You guys only get to see the cropped, touch-up, edited version.
And to those of you who think I'm creative....I fear you have been dreadfully mislead. I must admit that I'm really just very efficient at using Google. Start by searching "birthday party themes" and you'll find all you need!
I'll keep blogging about family night, because I love having a place to store all these memories. Just don't get the wrong idea about me being some kind of super mom. (As those of you who know me in real life snicker!) I may look pretty good on Tuesday nights...but the rest of the week I have a lot of maturing I need to do. So to keep it real, you might want to imagine some whining, crying, and disciplining that happens along with all the fun.
Thanks for keeping it real! I really was picturing the 5 of you all perfectly enjoying a fun family night! I like to plan things, but inevitably someone doesn't like something and then it turns into a mini-nightmare! That's why sometimes I just choose NOT to do something extra! I still think you are a super mom though!!
Your creative ablility has nothing to do with my awe! It is the fact that you are DOING it google or not. and that you push through the whining and the husband irratibility. That you didn't give up after the first try that wasn't perfect. THAT is where I am challenged and inspired.
Thank you for not giving up and for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly with us all!
All this time I thought you were a creative master-mind. Tuesday is our family night as well. We have been at it for almost two years, for the most part it all goes well, but the most memorable ones are those that go wrong...extremely wrong. Like super glue in hair, skinned knees, getting hit in the groin with a rubber mallet, and twisted ankles etc.... Hmm? Don't get any ideas, it's not worth it.
I'm Starr Cliff. A domestically-challenged mom, climbing over mountains of laundry to bring you my stray observations and amusing stories about my kids. (more)

Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, Inc. v. American Home Realty Network, Inc. et al
Filing 186
MEMORANDUM OPINION. Signed by Judge Alexander Williams, Jr on 7/31/2013. (nss, Deputy Clerk)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND SOUTHERN DIVISION * * * * * v. * AMERICAN HOME REALTY NETWORK, * INC., et al., * * Defendants. Civil Action No. 12-cv-00954-AW * * and * AMERICAN HOME REALTY NETWORK, * * INC., * Counterclaim Plaintiff, * * v. * * METROPOLITAN REGIONAL * INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC., et al., * Counterclaim Defendants. * **************************************************************************** MEMORANDUM OPINION METROPOLITAN REGIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC., Plaintiff, Pending before the Court is Defendant and Counterclaimant American Home Realty Network, Inc. (AHRN)'s Motion to Vacate Preliminary Injunction Nunc Pro Tunc and Request for Award of Damages, Attorneys Fees and Costs.1 Doc. No. 155. The factual and procedural background of this case has been thoroughly documented in the Court's prior Opinions, e.g. Doc. Nos. 34, 64, and 159, which are hereby incorporated by reference. On August 24, 2013, the Court granted Plaintiff Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, Inc. (MRIS)'s Motion for Preliminary Injunction and entered the following order: 1 Also pending is AHRN's Objections to U.S. Magistrate Judge Schulze's Report and Recommendation on MRIS's Motion for Contempt and related motions. See Doc. No. 150. The Court will issue a separate Memorandum Opinion and Order with respect to the Report and Recommendation. 1 "Defendant AHRN and all persons acting under its direction, control or authority are hereby enjoined from unauthorized copying, reproduction, public display, or public distribution of copyrighted content from the MRIS Database, and from preparing derivative works based upon the copyrighted content from the MRIS Database." Doc. No. 35. On November 13, 2012, the Court revised the order as follows: "AHRN and all persons acting under its direction, control or authority are hereby preliminarily enjoined from unauthorized copying, reproduction, public display, or public distribution of MRIS's copyrighted photographs and from preparing derivative works based upon MRIS's copyrighted photographs." Doc. No. 64 at 15 (emphasis added). The Court noted in its November 13 Opinion that MRIS had shown a likelihood of success on its infringement claims because it had presented "credible evidence" that it owned copyright in the photographs in the MRIS Database. Id. at 3. The Court's August 24 Opinion concluded that "MRIS has shown that it owns the copyrights in the underlying parts of the MRIS Database, as '© 2012 MRIS' notices are prominently displayed on the photographs of properties. . . . MRIS appears to have obtained these copyrights by assignment when the photographs were uploaded to the MRIS Database by subscribers." Doc. No. 34 at 25. On July 17, 2013, the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the Court's issuance of the preliminary injunction in a published opinion. Doc. No. 180, Metro. Reg'l Info. Sys., Inc. v. Am. Home Realty Network, Inc., Case Nos. 12-2102, 12-2432, 2013 WL 3722365 (4th Cir. 2013). In its Motion to Vacate, AHRN argues that "(1) MRIS's 'work for hire' claim [in its copyright registrations] is knowingly false and was presumably made to the Copyright Office to avoid having to name the author/photographers of text and photographs in its Database; and (2) MRIS has no proof of the identity of the photographers and thus cannot establish a chain of title of any copyrights in the photographs from the photographer to MRIS." Doc. No. 156 at 8. 2 AHRN further maintains that "MRIS knew well before it filed its complaint and its motion for preliminary injunction that it could not honestly establish a likelihood of success on the merits." Id. The Court has reviewed the motion papers and concludes that AHRN's arguments are without merit. First, AHRN claims that when MRIS stated in its copyright registrations that the MRIS Database was a "work made for hire," it attested that MRIS was the author of the photographs in the Database because they were shot by MRIS employees or by professional photographers commissioned and paid by MRIS. Doc. No. 156 at 4-5. AHRN maintains that MRIS "repudiated" its "work for hire" representations made to the Copyright Office when it represented to this Court that it obtained ownership in the copyrights of the photographs via assignment from its subscribers. Id. AHRN appears to misapprehend that MRIS's copyright registrations, including the "work made for hire" designation, apply to the MRIS Database as a whole. Indeed, collective works such as the MRIS Database may be works made for hire. See Compendium II of Copyright Office Practices § 308.02 ("The collective work as a whole is often a work made for hire, and in such cases, the author is the employer or other person for whom the work was prepared. See 17 U.S.C. 201(b)."). The Court cannot equate MRIS's designation of its Database as a work made for hire as an attestation that its employees or agents shot the photographs within the MRIS Database. Accordingly, the Court discerns no inconsistency between MRIS's representations to the Copyright Office and the evidence it has presented to this Court regarding its ownership of copyrights in the photographs. Second, AHRN argues that "MRIS has now admitted it lacks evidence that it owns the copyright in the photographs in the MRIS Database." Doc. No. 156 at 7. AHRN contends that 3 such an admission is established by MRIS's supplemental response to Interrogatory 11. The pertinent interrogatory and response read as follows: INTERROGATORY NO. 11 For each of the photographic images in the registered MRIS Database that MRIS claims AHRN has infringed through its NeighborCity.com website, identify the photographer, date of creation, any copyright assignment records and/or proof of ownership by MRIS of the respective photographic image. …. SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 11: A MRIS subscriber uploading a photographic image to the MRIS Database must agree to the MRIS Terms of Use Agreement ("MRIS TOU"). The MRIS TOU states as follows: By submitting an image, you hereby irrevocably assign (and agree to assign) to MRIS, free and clear of any restrictions or encumbrances, all of your rights, title and interest in and to the image submitted. This assignment includes, without limitation, all worldwide copyrights in and to the image, and the right to sue for past and future infringements. If and to the extent you retain any copyrights or other ownership rights in or to the image despite this assignment, you waive and agree never to assert any such rights against MRIS or its successors, licensees, or customers, including without limitation, any moral rights that you may have in or to the image. You warrant that any image submitted is your sole property, that no third party owns the image or any rights in or to the image (or any rights that, to your knowledge would undermine this assignment), and that you are not submitting materials for which you do not have the right to make the assignment described above. MRIS does not maintain records of "the photographer, date of creation, any copyright assignment records and/or proof of ownership" for photographic images in the MRIS Database. The Copyright Office does not require an owner of a compilation copyright like MRIS to provide such details. Proof of ownership of copyright in any photographic image uploaded to the MRIS Database is established by a party's assent to the MRIS TOU and submission of the image. Doc. No. 156-1. Despite AHRN's assertions to the contrary, the Court cannot read MRIS's interrogatory response as an admission that it does not own valid copyrights in the underlying photographs of the MRIS Database. Furthermore, none of the cases cited by AHRN support the 4 conclusion that to show a likelihood of success on the merits, MRIS was required to produce a chain of title for each underlying photograph in the MRIS Database. In conclusion, AHRN has failed to present evidence that would disturb the Court's previous determinations. Accordingly, AHRN's Motion to Vacate Preliminary Injunction will be denied. A separate Order will follow. July 31, 2013 Date /s/ Alexander Williams, Jr. United States District Judge 5

How to Plead the Blood of Jesus
Please click on the above link to read through that article, it is very informative and I was led to find it by the Holy Spirit, I have no doubt about that.
Here's an extract:
Many of the non-denominational churches talk about the power of Pleading the Blood of Jesus but they do not tell you exactly how to do it, what to plead it on, what to plead it against and how frequently you need to do it in order to get Gods maximum protection on you and your loved ones.
In this article, I will show you exactly how to plead the Blood, what to plead it on, some of things that you can plead it against, and how frequently you will need to plead it in order to get Gods maximum protection on your specific set of circumstances. I will also give you the Scriptural grounds that entitles all Christians to be able to use this form of offensive prayer.
I will also show you how to incorporate the Pleading of the Blood in your own battle prayers when you need Gods deliverance and/or healing power to help you get out of a dire situation that you may already be involved in.
I will back all of this up with some powerful testimonies with myself and some of my personal friends, and how Pleading the Blood helped rescue and deliver them out of some real dire predicaments. All of these stories will be in the "Testimonies" section of our website. The information in this article has been battle tested and battle proven.
In my own personal opinion I feel that learning how to Plead the Blood of Jesus will give you one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful form of prayer that you can use for any kind of deliverance or protection that you may need.
This form of offensive prayer can be used not only to get Gods protection on you before adversity strikes, but it can also be used for physical, emotional and mental healings, for battling demons, and for battling any kind of adversity that may have already come your way.
I believe that we are truly heading into end time waters as prophesied out of the Bible. Learning how to properly Plead the Blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection is going to be needed by all Christians in order to help keep them out of harms way as things really start to heat up in the years ahead.
Too many Christians are getting robbed, raped, abducted, murdered, sexually and physically abused, slandered, cheated, scammed, etc. All you have to do is watch the daily news and it is one horror story after another.
I believe the number one reason why so many Christians are under such heavy attacks from both demons and bad and evil people in this world is because they do not have God's full protection on them. And the reason they do not have Gods full protection on them is because they have never been taught how to spiritually defend themselves using actual spiritual warfare!
There are numerous verses in the Bible telling all of us that we are to be soldiers of Jesus Christ and that we have to fight the good fight of faith. Like it or not, we are all living in a war zone as a result of the curse of Adam and Eve. We are living in a fallen, imperfect and cursed world that is subject to death, corruption, demonic spirits and evil humans who have chosen, with their own free wills, to live this life on the dark side.
What this means is that anyone of us can come under demonic or human attack at anytime and anywhere. Places where we thought we were safe are no longer safe. Criminals are getting more brazen and more evil. Children are literally getting abducted right out of their beds in the middle of the night with their parents and the other children in the house sleeping in the other rooms.
9/11 has forever changed our landscape as far as all Americans are concerned. Radical terrorists have officially invaded our country and we will never know where or when the next attack will occur. The Bible has already warned us that evil, lawlessness, and immorality will abound in the end times.
There are verses telling us that in the end times men will become lovers of self, unholy, blasphemers, having no self-control and living life for what they can get out of it. The Bible tells us that the love of many will grow cold during these times and many people will only be out for themselves and for whatever pleasures they can get out of this life while they still can.
As a result of this kind of deterioration in mans moral structure many people will become more impulsive, more brazen and more evil. This may explain why some of these evil people are literally kidnapping children right out of their beds or front yards while the parents or babysitters are still in the home. They are losing all self-control over their sick desires and impulses, and they are acting out on them without any thought of the consequences of their actions.
Since I really do feel that we have officially entered into end time waters as prophesied out of the Bible, each Christian is going to have to make a big personal decision as to how they are going to live the rest of what time they still have left down here on this earth.
Christians can either choose to continue to remain passive with their heads stuck in the sand, hoping that neither they nor any of their loved ones will ever come under any kind of demonic or human attack, or they can choose to learn how to rise up in the power of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and learn how to spiritually defend themselves using spiritual warfare techniques as given to us out of the Bible!
When the enemy does come, and he will come at each one of us from time to time, you can either choose to run and hide hoping that you will somehow survive the attack and make it out in one piece, or you can choose to learn how to spiritually defend yourself and engage with the enemy head on when he does attempt to come against you just like David did with Goliath.
The choice is yours. Too many Christians are taking the first approach, and are literally getting killed and taken out of this life too early. The pain, torment and agony of losing loves ones, especially to any kind of violent crime, is beyond human comprehension.
Too many Christians are living defeated lives with no real joy, peace or power in their lives. Storm cloud after storm cloud keeps coming at them beating them down to a pulp. Many Christians, since they have not been properly taught how to engage with the enemy when he does come their way, are drowning in their sea of troubles.
Too many Christians could not pray their way out of a paper sack if they got caught in one because they have never established any kind of personal relationship with God, have never developed any real working knowledge of His Word, have no knowledge of the enemy, his tactics and how he operates, and have no real knowledge on how to properly pray or stand in the gap for someone else to get God to move in with His supernatural power to bring freedom, healing or deliverance to a particular situation.
In my opinion, and from the personal experiences that I have had with this form of offensive prayer, I believe that learning how to Plead the Blood of Jesus may be one of the greatest offensive spiritual weapons that you can have in your arsenal.
As you will see in our personal testimony section, complete and total victory was granted to each person who Pled the Blood on their specific set of circumstances. And in most of the cases, the victory was granted very quickly! This is how powerful this form of offensive prayer really is.
For those of you who really want to learn how to arm and defend yourself and your loved ones when these attacks do come your way, read on. For those of you who will choose to remain passive hoping that nothing bad will ever come your way, at least keep this article on the shelf in the event that any serious adversity ever does strike you or any of your loved ones down the road.
Before I go into exactly how to Plead the Blood and all of the things that you can Plead the blood against, I will first give you the Scriptural grounds that entitles all Christians to be able to use this form of offensive prayer.

2000 mg of DHA Optimizes Plasma Levels of DHA
Byron's Comments:
You need to take DHA in order to concentrate it in your body cells and tissues.
Study Title:Distribution, interconversion, and dose response of n-3 fatty acids in humans.
Study Abstract:
n-3 Fatty acids have important visual, mental, and cardiovascular health benefits throughout the life cycle. Biodistribution, interconversion, and dose response data are reviewed herein to provide a basis for more rational n-3 dose selections. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the principal n-3 fatty acid in tissues and is particularly abundant in neural and retinal tissue. Limited storage of the n-3 fatty acids in adipose tissue suggests that a continued dietary supply is needed. A large proportion of dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is oxidized, and because of limited interconversion of n-3 fatty acids in humans, ALA supplementation does not result in appreciable accumulation of long-chain n-3 fatty acids in plasma. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) but not DHA concentrations in plasma increase in response to dietary EPA. Dietary DHA results in a dose-dependent, saturable increase in plasma DHA concentrations and modest increases in EPA concentrations. Plasma DHA concentrations equilibrate in approximately 1 mo and then remain at steady state throughout supplementation. DHA doses of approximately 2 g/d result in a near maximal plasma response. Both dietary DHA and EPA reduce plasma arachidonic acid concentrations. Tissue contents of DHA and EPA also increase in response to supplementation with these fatty acids. Human milk contents of DHA are dependent on diet, and infant DHA concentrations are determined by their dietary intake of this fatty acid. We conclude that the most predictable way to increase a specific long-chain n-3 fatty acid in plasma, tissues, or human milk is to supplement with the fatty acid of interest.

Jeans, jeans, jeans...
Jeans brands are always the rage. Fashion is an ever changing landscape, one that finds its roots in the hip. Jeans brand trends are no exception to this. The internet is a great place to keep up to date with these shifting fashion trends and may in fact have contributed to its mutable nature by letting people get trends in almost real time. People would often consider "Which jeans brand will be popular next week?" There are plenty of websites that rate these and some people base their clothing purchases on those lists. Levis, Wrangler Jeans and Diesel Jeans are often among the top ten, making them a safe purchase – but how safe is safe? Where could the public's interest in jeans really go?
|levi's in the top
|Levis is trying to gain become the tops in jeans brand trend by trying to go green with their production line. They're also making an effort to inform people about how the brand itself is trying to achieve these ends. They have even publicized studies on how water is used as the jeans are produced and how they are improving on these numbers.
|Jeans brands and Casinos
|Jeans brand trends are finding more and more purchase in casinos. Slacks used to be the traditional casino pants-wear but gamblers are getting younger and younger thanks to events such as the World Poker Tour and new ways of playing like online casino - where you play through the internet, e.g. the casino at betway.com/no/casino. Common attire is shifting to reflect that. It also helps that jeans tend to be more comfortable than formal casino slacks.
|Twilight celeb in new jeans line
|Kellan Lutz of 'Twilight' fame is getting into the jeans brand trends game by making his own line of jeans under Dylan George's label. The twenty-five year-old actor plans to model the items themselves and appears proud of the fact that he is 'inventing' or 'creating' something new, as it answers to an old childhood dream or fantasy. The brand itself will be called "Abbot & Main by Dylan George".
|Casino theiving problems
|The SugarHouse casino has had some issues that might have not been alleviated had they been paying attention to jeans brand trends. It seems that would be thief attempted to mug a particularly lucky mugger on a hot streak on the blackjack tables, but in his escape he found himself tangled up by his baggy pants – something that would not have happened if he had been wearing jeans. Maybe he should just had played online casino instead - or nettcasino as it is called in Norway, where the creator of this site is from.
|Sephora and Palms
|Sephora jeans is one of the latest trends to arise. The store once dedicated to beauty products will be selling a new brand of jeans – LeRock Lift-Up Jeans. The way it is designed and cut will lift up the butt the same way push up bras lift up breasts. Sephora planned to first release their newest product in their Milan store. Of the many collaborations currently out there, the one between the Palms Resort and Casino and Lucky Brands Jeans is up there in terms of being unexpected as when Disney Purchased Marvel. Much like the merger between Mickey Mouse and Spiderman, this promises to be profitable for the customer, as they now have cross-promotional deals that can save gamblers money. This has also had a lot of attention in Denmark (where a casino is called Dansk Casino).

@browncoat - You can also make this style of chicken and do different things with it that don't include the sauce. This kind of crispy chicken is extremely simple to make and is a really good recipe for guests because it seems a lot more fancy than it actually is.
You can do all kinds of things to make it a bit different, like adding ginger or another spice to the flour before using it, or coating the chicken in honey as well as egg.
This is also a particularly tasty way to make chicken strips to go into a soft taco or a sub sandwich.
The only drawback is that you're frying the chicken, which adds a bit of fat, but if you use a high quality oil and are careful not to burn any of it, it shouldn't do much harm.

Knoxville (WVLT) - It was not just a happy, but a holy birthday for one Knoxville church.
Volunteer TV's Mike McCarthy was there.
Gillespie Avenue Baptist Church celebrated 100 years of serving God on Sunday.
The church was founded in 1907 and still sits on the same street corner.
In song, in laughter, and in a few tears, Gillespie Avenue Baptist Church turned 100 years old.
"It means everything to me," said church member Edna Patterson.
At 93-years-old herself, Edna Patterson's the church's oldest living member.
"I learned a lot of things here that helped me through life," Patterson said.
She was back in the packed sanctuary Sunday.
"Look back, reminisce, and remember those that made it possible for us to have this day," said Pastor Wayne Hubb.
A day that began like the first service a century ago, under a tent.
"There's definitely friendship and love there. It's truly amazing," said church member Emily White.
On the church steps, the congregation posed where so many have stood before.
"We are very close, just like one big family," said Bill Warick, also a church member.
It was a celebration, but also brought back sad, even painful memories of when the church burned down in 1961.
"The bell coming out of the tower. The organ coming through the floor," said Jesse Blair. "It's sad."
When they rebuilt, they recaptured their past.
The congregation relived it by opening a time capsule
"This is a church bulletin from 1954," said Blair.
Just a few years after Blair started attending the church.
"It's changed my life completely," said Blair.
The church's mission to share the gospel is far from done.
"Sometimes it's tough to know that I'm the future," said Emily White.
Patterson says just have faith.
"I hope the church goes on to be a light on the corner. So that it'll shine for other people like it has for me," said Patterson.
U.S. Congressman John Duncan and State Senator Tim Burchett also attended the ceremony.
They both read proclamations honoring the church for it's dedication and service to the community.

Alex and I had such an AMAZING day photographing these two on Saturday in the crazy hot heat of Heidelberg! I actually love these guys and think we made friends for life. There is so much love between these two, that I couldn't help but smile all day…. oh and isn't Katharina insanely beautiful?! So much more of this wedding to come! Coralee xx
Winter time for a wedding photographer is usually the time where things quieten down a bit. You get a chance to spend weekends doing things other than photograph weddings and take stock of your business. Walks with the dog. Re-do all those little things on the website you've been meaning to do all year….and just generally relax and re-energize for the next summer. Some of our photographer friends were in that stage……but we weren't quite there. Not quite. You see, we had one more reason to be excited…..Tamryn and Matt's wedding! We knew since the day we met Mat and Tam that it was going to be a special day – we'd been looking forward to it for over a year! The perfect way to end an amazing summer season full with weddings. And it was! It most certainly was!
It was one of those days so jam-packed full of cute details that if you were to blink – you'd miss something. Matt is an incredibly talented designer and has personally created all the stationary. My personal favourite!? His toy soldier cufflinks given to him by Tamryn. I've seen some great cuff-links in my line of work…..but those are surely the coolest I've ever seen! When it's cold outside, there's something special about all huddling inside warm a church eagerly awaiting a bride. Tamryn was STUNNING as she walked down the aisle hand in hand with Dad. The wedding took place at St George's Church in Epsom, the same place Coralee and I were married almost five and a half years earlier. It's a special place!
Following that, the lovely couple jumped into an incredible Ford Galaxie (Oh how I want that car so badly!) and off we went to photograph the bridal party. First stop was a little sheltered carpark in Newmarket. After all the excitement of the ceremony and all the greetings and congratulations that follow – that time we get hanging out with a bride and groom – just us – after the ceremony is always special. Tamryn and Matt got a chance to just be. They looked into each others eyes….and we could see that they are just two people most crazy in love with each other. That kind of thing is the easiest thing to photograph in the world. They were uber cute. We needn't even ask them to do anything other than be themselves.
We dodged puddles and played there for a while before it was time to head up towards Kumeu Valley Estate where the reception would be held. Not before we made a quick stop on an awesome little tree-lined driveway we'd found the day earlier though. I'm gonna be honest…I was skeptical that we'd lost the best light by then. But Coralee wasn't even phased one bit. I think the frames she made of Tam and Matt in the twilight in the grass to the side of the driveway are some of my ultimate favourites from the entire day. OK, maybe even the entire summer! Maybe it's; just because Tamryn and Matt are just so darned cute!
The room at Kumeu Valley Estate was like stepping into another world! It's so magical in there! The details and table settings just have to be seen to be believed…..So seriously, you should really go scroll downwards and just check it out for yourselves. We really can't put it into words any better than that. Tamryn and Matt….we LOVE you guys and we had the best time celebrating with you both on your special day! We hope your trip was AMAZING…..and we've got a little box of goodies here for you that we're packaging up as we speak! C&A xx
As old friends of Matt and his family, we here in South Africa were delighted to see all the stunning photographs of their special day. It feels as if we attended the wedding. What a beautiful couple. Beautifully, stylised photographs!
Just beautiful
Tam it looks like your day was as magical as you had always imagined. Your photos show your love and happiness for each other!
I am beyond happy for you. xx
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous photos, just lovely! xxx
Simply beautiful photography, an amazing wedding! Thankyou for letting us share in your special day.
Gorgeous as per usual! ;) x
Lovely pictures! The couple looks amazing and my sister looks beautiful – as always! xxx
Wow. Love it! All the details! :-) stunning! :-) love you both!!!! :-)
Alex and I are getting very excited for our next big European adventure coming up in mid July… (so flippen excited!!!) We will mainly be cruising around Germany and Switzerland this time, and photographing weddings along the way. Oh yeah, stay tuned as I'm sure we will be blogging about our adventures! In anticipation for this trip I started the long tedious task of organising our personal travel photos from last year! Man we took a lot of photos!! I found myself getting lost in all our amazing memories, and Santorini was definitely one of our favourite places we visited. Seriously, it's a dream. The place actually looks exactly the same as the post cards!! Anyway, I thought you might like to see some of my snaps. Enjoy C x
ahhh loved your photos, dreamy indeed :) dreamin' of visiting there too X.
Thanks Mia!! You def should go there if you ever get the opportunity!! xx
What a lovely bunch of eye-poppingly scrumptious holiday photos! A beautiful post that makes me want to visit asap. Can I come with you please??? ;)
Stunning!!! We'll be there this August – cannot wait.
Superbes photos ensoleillées et pleines de vie ! J'adore.
gorgeous pictures! This makes me want to go back so much!
Oh! Love me some GREECE fun times.
Captured it in a nutshell.
wowoowowow! sooo beyond amazing! thank you for this glorious visual feast (especially on such a soggy day as today in Auckland!)
Alex and I had such an AMAZING day photographing these two last Friday. I'm so excited to share the whole wedding, but until then here are some sneak peeks for y'all. Congratulations Tam & Matt! C&A xx
Beautiful congratulations
Aah, Summer! Take us back! What a delight it was to photograph Jacki and Rogan recently! Their wedding was held at a super-cute little family bach in Waihi Beach. Coralee went to high school with Jacki, so it was also a fun-filled day of re-unions for her too! It was a perfectly relaxed summer afair. The ceremony took place on the front lawn and afterwards guests enjoyed picnicking on the lawn as we headed across the road to the beach for a few bridal party shots. Just around the back of the bach was an incredible marque where Jacki, Rogan and their wonderful friends and family ate, partied and danced the night away. It was an epic day, with an amazing couple in the most stunning location. Congrats Jacki and Rogan! We love you guys! C&A xx

Marketing food to kids: Continuing the conversation
By now, you've had a chance to read the proposed voluntary principles published on April 28, 2011, by the Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children. Made up of representatives from the FTC, FDA, USDA, and CDC, the group issued a draft calling on the food industry voluntarily to step up its efforts to improve the nutritional quality of foods they market directly to kids ages 2 to 17. The proposal — which isn't a regulation — suggests ways to strengthen the voluntary efforts that are already underway.
If you have clients in the food industry or if you have an interest in the important issues raised by the proposal, take out your calendar to mark some key dates. The agencies have extended the deadline for written comment to Thursday, July 14, 2011. In addition, they've announced a half-day public forum in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, May 24th, at HHS's Hubert H. Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., so that people can make brief statements on the proposed voluntary principles.
Interested in attending? Due to space limitations, you have to register in advance by emailing your name and affiliation to firstname.lastname@example.com by 5:00 on Friday, May 20th.
Thinking about making an oral statement at the forum? Email email@example.com by 5:00 on Wednesday, May 18th, saying whether your comments will relate primarily to the proposed nutrition principles or to the proposed marketing definitions.

In the past month, there have been several news headlines concerning prosecution of healthcare providers for alleged acts of fraud. Considering the fact that the healthcare system continues to be in the news because of the healthcare reform debate, having our industry highlighted for fraudulent acts seems to put an even darker cloud over public perception of the industry. The Gallup organization says that a large percentage of the American public does not trust the healthcare system at this time. Although much of that circles around the health reform legislation, we are nonetheless and unwitting participant in that negative perception.
Looking over details of these recent prosecutions, much of the attention has focused on the provision of medically unnecessary services and problems with Medicare secondary payer (MSP) billings. MSP billings have been a historic problem for many of us, despite our best intentions. However, recent prosecutions in this area seem to be initiated by qui tam relators, otherwise known as whistleblowers. Unfortunately, some of these organizations were not aware of the problem until approached by investigators from the Office of Inspector General (OIG). What are you doing to be sure you are not the victim of such a surprise?
Historically, whistleblowers seem to have been the sources for medical necessity prosecutions. That continues to be borne out in recent prosecution headlines. Although a couple of the recent headlines related to organized crime schemes, they were still initiated by a whistleblower. Do we know that there are not schemes being perpetrated without our knowledge?
What can we do as leaders to show our best efforts to do the right thing and preserve the public image of integrity we find most valuable? Here are a few suggestions.
Talk to people. Let's show that we have a genuine interest in doing the right thing and evidence it by meeting with those people who can give us the best information: the staff doing the "hands on" work. Let's ask questions about what they do and how they do it, and maybe even have a few random walk-throughs of accounts or transactions. Let's ask questions about things that we don't understand or that don't look right. Showing that direct interest can certainly instill confidence in our staff that we care about the integrity of the organization. Establishing an open relationship with the person who could be a whistleblower might be the best defense we could have against an OIG surprise. Perhaps they might even try to tell us something before they tell the OIG.
Look in the mirror. At least one prosecution that hit the headlines this past month involved compensation to referring providers. When was the last time we looked at our disbursements to referring providers with an eye toward making sure they were appropriate under current law? Things like gift cards, coupons, and direct payments to vendors on behalf of referral sources were the centerpieces of one particular case.
Set the tone. Leaders that consistently demonstrate a commitment to integrity, following the rules, and showing no tolerance for straying into the gray areas set the expectation for those we work with. That "tone at the top" has been shown to be a significant deterrent to fraudulent activity within an organization.
Now that the federal government has at least partially shut down due to the healthcare reform debate (or is it "stalemate"?), we have an even greater risk as financial leaders in the healthcare industry. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a bulletin indicating that they would not be funding any of its current fraud oversight and monitoring programs during the shutdown. Therefore, we have a potential risk for the industry's image to be further blemished by the lack of oversight to catch and prosecute the miscreants who hurt the reputations of the vast majority of us who try to do the right thing.
As with so many things in life, those of us who try to do the right thing also carry the burden for those who do not when headlines point toward a hospital or a provider as a defendant in a fraud case. We certainly cannot eliminate these problems from the healthcare landscape. As long as there is so much money in our industry, the criminals will come. However, if we as leaders set the tone that such fraud and abuse is not tolerated, and if we take proactive action to report things we see to the authorities, we contribute our part to preserving the image and reputation of our industry.

Oh my, I've been lusting after one of these for ages. There's already a hook in a perfect spot on my kitchen ceiling - very rare in the household of someone who's not any good with drills! The poor hook just sits there now, all sad and lonely. Winning a Sky Planter would make my day - and my kitchen!
sophie de quervain says:
I'd like to see the plants adapt themselves in a world up side down...
Marije Pasman says:
Ohhh I like!!!! Because we live small and with hanging plants we can use our table again:)
Malin says:
De skulle vara en gåva till en vän, som efter en jobbig separation nu inreder singellya med grönt tema. Tänk trädgård inomhus - inte bara lite blommor på fönsterbrädan. Det vore underbart att kunna glädja och bidra med denna fina present.
Sara says:
Due to lack of space in my tiny apartment, not many flowers and plants find their way in, especially now where christmas decorations take up all the place. This way I would have the possibility to fill up my space with green, yellow, pink and all sorts of lovely colored plants - any time!
Cheers Sara
Louise Heide says:
We have a very small window sill in the kitchen and therefore no room for herbs :0(!! With theese pots i can finally get som wonderful herbs in the kitchen - jubiii..... Cool design!
Glædelig 7. december ♥
Andrea says:
Well, my reason for wanting the Sky Planter is definately a bit strange, but hang in there. First, it's because my boyfriend and I simply seem to have too good hands with plants with the result that it's getting a bit crowded in our apartment from monstrous, green things. (And the thing with having green fingers is that you're litterarily unable to throw away healty plants only because of space issues.) Second, we have two adorable cats. Two adorable cats who love to nibble on some of those plants and then throw up because they are sometimes allergic to the plant in question. (Then those cats for a minute aren't so adorable.) And I'm running out of space on shelves and in remote places to place the plants. So a Sky Planter would help out because then I could just sit and watch the cats trying to reach for the most poisonous plant in peace knowing that they would never be able to reach it. Not to mention how much exercise my cats would get as well - and laughs for my boyfriend and me watching them...
natt_ says:
This could be a cool X-mas gift to my friend, who has reallly raealllly green thumbs :)
Mia Rose says:
Because my room is so boring and it would add something unique to it!
ary says:
I would love to have a bit of greenery in my house, unfortunately I don't have much space, but with this magnificent system I would definitely spare space!
annalena says:
my life feels like this right now...upside down...so when i come back on the right side with my life ,i can look at this in my window and smile and remember and feel good.
Stylishlymebytaryn says:
Why not? They are recycled, awkward, unusual, "juxtaposed" (Not sure if that really is an english word), just plan amazing and would look great anywhere in my flat, above my bed, complimenting the tv room or even to add some colour to the kitchen... And plus its the Christmas season and I never win anything - Thought id throw the gift trip in too :)
Marie says:
They are goregeous. I use my windowsill as office space, so there isn't enough space for plants so i would be perfect if i could hang them in the window instead.
Great blog
SimoneE says:
I would love one of those planters just because they are really weird and awesome! Also, I'm always looking for smart ways to decorate my studio apartment with things that don't take up too much space. They would be perfect!
Su says:
I want it in my small painting studio at the end of my garden. The studio has a big skylight and the hanging planter would look great next to the hanging industrial lamp against the white painted bricks! Please let me have it! :)
jokemijn says:
and yet another one! i live in a small and really old apartment with high ceilings, i'd love to fill a lot of high empty space with this hanging plant.
Marie Dahlberg says:
I want it because I´m worth it!
kristin says:
Åh, den är så härlig... allt med den känns klockrent! Idén, materialet och funktionen! Jag skulle vilja ha den till mina orkideér... jag lyckas aldrig! Den skulle verkligen bli ett väldigt fint utropstecken i vårt hus!
Krisse says:
Since the first time I saw those Sky Planters I've been dying to have one of my own. I think it would be easier for me to remember to water the plants if they were hanging in front of my window instead of being forgotten on top my shelf. For my plants' sake, I need those!
linn says:
på grunn av det morsomme uttrykket i ansiktet til dei som kjem på besøk ;)
Louise C says:
Because they look so crazy and original :) I especially like long stems and flowers up-side-down, like the orchids.
Anne says:
I want it to dangle on my ceiling and tickle my nose while I sleep=)
ema says:
Because this is art! It makes you feel like being in a reverse space. I think everybody should have a piece of art at home.
Frank says:
I would love one of these for my dorm window! I live in a basement (luckily with full-height windows) and the only part of my window to receive direct sunlight is the top half. It would be delightful to be able to hang one of these there.
Karoleen says:
I live in a house, in the attic, with a slanted roof and only two windows therfore I'm unable to have many flowers although I would like too. I'd love to be ablt to use some the roof/celling to my advantage! =)
Interior Junkie says:
I'm in :)
Pascaline says:
Because I have already in my room an upside down driftwood tree... I could may be start a collection and imagine working in a zero gravity appartment. :-)
Ida S says:
Jag har precis flyttat till en större lägenhet med JÄTTESTORA fönster! I ett av dem hänger en krok som jag inte lyckats lösa vad den ska vara till för. Nu vet jag! Där ska hänga en blomma upp och ner!!!
Jodi Anderson says:
I have been wanting one of these ever since I first saw them earlier this year because... my cats won't stop eating my plants!
Milena K says:
I just turned my whole life upsidedown! this would be the little reminder to my landscapearchitekt-life!!!
ivana says:
Because I always tend to kill all my plants. This would be a different and working solution to grow some herbs, right? And, of course, it looks awesome.
nejnas says:
I'm a relatively new blogger. winning this pot would give me one or to post on my blog :-)
Gillar din blogg väldigt mycket!
Kerli says:
My orchid is waiting for it, it's about to bloom in three weeks, and I believe it's a cool thing to place in front of the big window, for neighbors to look :)
Kellie Sellin Edland says:
I want it because my stupid mom keeps taking up all work space with all her plants, and this would really help. She totally needs it...
nea says:
I have been dreaming of these for so long and I don't have any houseplants.
Chloe says:
I do not have a green thumb, but have been wanting to have more plants in the house because I know it's healthy for us (the air we breath)...this would be a lovely, simple way to do that, I think. Also, I've never won a giveaway, so it would be plain fun to win. ;)
Tessa says:
I would love to have these ones, because it's so original! My home never had the wow-factor, it's a very basic interior... It want to invite people and show off these original plants!
And my appartment is also very small, so I've no room for big plants. I'm really missing the greens in my house, but there is simply no room for them. This would be the perfect solution, though! Some greens in my appartment, at last :D
Anna says:
I would like to have a djungle in my room. Good start having these :)
DeliaSJ says:
Because it'a an unique and out of ordinary idea!
Chi says:
because it's just beautiful :)
vrensen says:
uhhhh, i like it! it would me nice to have it, because i could have beautiful plants and the cat would hardly have the chance to nosh them! so far the only houseplants i have are grass for the cat and my christmas tree erwin. :D
Véronique says:
för intrycket av att vara i världen upp och ner !!!
J'adore !!!
Véronique de Korsica
Pani Ewa says:
Because our flat is so small that there is no place for flowers and plant pots. This is the perfect solution for us to get some nature in. Really perfect!
Jamie says dream says:
Oh, this is so fun! I need some "life" in a corner of my livingroom, and this would be a perfect way to get both a plant and a fun design item in to the room.
Cecilia says:
Jag får ofta höra att jag brukar göra saker bakvänt och det i kombination med att jag verkligen inte har några gröna fingrar gör den här krukan som gjuten för mig. Vi behöver bli vänner.
Flav says:
I want it because all my friend would be so jealous and would tell me that I always find the coolest things.. ;-)
Linda says:
Because I could grow herbs in the kitchen so that it doesn´t need space on the sink.
Susanne says:
I would like to have one/several in my kitchen window so people walking by would have something to talk about!
Susanne says:
How cool! And maybe even I could keep a plant alive =)
Matias says:
I really like the design. This pot would be a perfect gift to my friend who was recently blessed with a daughter. When her girl starts crawling and running around I guess ordinary flower pots are somewhat dangerous because they easily fall down from the windowsill. My friend also likes design-solutions that are out of the ordinary so this would suit her well.
johanna says:
o have a chance to win this, just tell me why you want it in the comments below!
These are fantastic!
On of these would be superb by our outdoorkitchen at our allotment!
nina says:
Those wonderful pieces of flower pots inspire me in new thinking. (and new possibilities of course)
maria olga vlachou says:
first of all your blog is so inspiring ..it s my daily read..i love these hanging gardens because i leave in greece and everything right now are upside down , so the view of these makes me feel comfort.....feels like home..
Anonym says:

Kyla says:
I would like it because I am trying to embrace a minimalist style (partly inspired by your blog) and I think that this planter would help keep the counters clutter free while providing some needed greenery.
Johanna says:
Because gravity is obsolete.
Diva Cruz says:
I really want it because is the perfect solution to give some vegetation, some color and some life in my boring workplace.
With this solution I will work with more pleasure and I will be happier♥
Janet says:
My plants always die, perhaps a solution
Sugar Fish says:
Because it is so funny.
Annemari says:
I want it because I currently live in such a small apartment (17m2) that there's not much room for plants. I don't even have a window sill, so I can't place my plants there to enjoy the light. This would be a perfect thing to hang in front of a window. I also love how crazy those upside down plants look like!
jeanette says:
These flowerpots are perfect, if you do not have any windowboards or just too narrow ones to fit in ordinary flowerpots.Lack of space and flat surfaces is another problem the flowerpots solve. This is my home and that is the reason, for me, loving to own the superb flowerpot.
Ida says:
I visited Stockholm recently, saw the pots in Appartement's window and immediately fell in love with them. I think for two reasons: 1. We have really big windows and most flower pots as well as plants look tiny on the window sill. 2. We, especially I, have the most ungreenish fingers. Although I try all the time to get them green (which would go more with my personality than the ungreen, I think). Please help me on my way of greenify our home!

i love it! A must have it!
and as a young interior designer don't have money to buy myself nice design stuff... so this would be a start in my own house. finally!
Esther says:
Because they're funny and beutiful. Love them!
Leah Goetzel says:
I need it to prove to my mother that I CAN take care of foliage and that I do not in fact of her brown thumb.

A self-confessed raconteur of weird stories, it's no wonder that Jake is one of David Letterman's favorite comics. With over thirty five Letterman appearances under his belt (not to mention a handful ofLate Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, andPolitically Incorrect gigs) Jake is no stranger to late night television. His late night appearances gave Jake the exposure he needed to land his very own HBO comedy special, This'll Take About An Hour. Jake received incredible reviews, strong ratings, and a Cable Ace Award nomination for Best Writing in an Entertainment Special. People Magazine rated the special as one of the "ten best television shows of the year," and TV Guide named it one of the "50 Funniest Moments of TV."

Window closing to claim Powerball ticket worth $1M
Updated On: Jan 14 2014 09:23:26 AM CST
Time is running out for a person to cash in a $1 million Powerball ticket that was sold last year.
The Kansas Lottery said the ticket was sold for the Jan. 26, 2013 drawing. The winning ticket matched the first five numbers, but not the Powerball. The winning numbers from the Jan. 26, 2013 drawing were: 3-22-26-41-49, Powerball 18.
The ticket was sold in southwest Kansas.
If the ticket is not claimed, the prize money will stay in the lottery's prize fund for future prizes.

BOSTON (AP) Officials at Boston's Logan International Airport are apologizing for holding a fire drill, complete with smoke and flames, on the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The two hijacked jets that were flown into the World Trade Center towers in New York flew out of Logan.
The runway fire drill, announced on the airport's Facebook page, drew harsh condemnation.
The Massachusetts Port Authority, the agency that runs the airport, said in a statement that it "apologizes for conducting the fire training exercise and understands that it may have offended many of those touched by the events of Sept. 11."
Several events were held at the airport to mark the anniversary.
"How clueless and insensitive can you be," one woman wrote on the airport's Facebook page.
