29, 2010 - A new class-C GaN (Gallium Nitride) hybrid amplifier using GaN-on-SiC (Gallium Nitride on Silicon
carbide substrate) devices that was recently released from RFHIC. The amplifier gives VHF at 8 W in the 130~450
MHz range with an efficiency of 60%, and UHF at 6 W in the 450~960 MHz range with an efficiency of 50%. Input and
output matching circuits are included in the design with bias circuits and other matching circuits. Physical size
of the amplifier is 15 mm x 10 mm x 5.4 mm and is an SMD (surface mount device) type hybrid GaN amplifier. Input
voltage is 24 V~34 V and uses ceramic substrate over copper heat slug. Existing TETRA (TErrestrial
Trunked RAdio, formerly known as Trans European Trunked Radio) amplifiers use LDMOS (Laterally Diffused Metal
Oxide Semiconductor) technology and operates on 5 V~12 V supply voltage. Also previous designs separated three to
four bands of 130~220 MHz, 380~400 MHz, 410~470 MHz, 560~580 MHz, and 870~933 MHz and combining loss were
inevitable. Recent developments in the TETRA technology will require the use of full 100~960 MHz frequency range
coverage and the new RFHIC GaN hybrid amplifier fits exactly on that application. Better efficiency amplifiers can
reduce the number of the base station installations in the field for a greener environment.

COLOGNE, Germany (AP) — Felix Sturm retained his WBA middleweight title with a contentious split-decision win over Irish challenger Matthew Macklin in the Lanxess Arena on Saturday.
Two judges awarded it 116-112 in favor of the defending champion fighting in his hometown, while the other scored 115-113 to Macklin after a thrilling fight.
Sturm (36-2-1) successfully defended his title for the 10th time since losing it to and winning it back from Javier Castillejo in 2006-07.
Macklin (28-2), a former Irish, British and European middleweight champion, had the better of the early rounds but Sturm used his experience and greater accuracy to fight his way back and convince the judges.

OSU Football Notebook: Zac Robinson not back, yet
Standout quarterback Zac Robinson was held out of practice for the fourth straight day Wednesday. The senior has a slight pull in his lower leg just behind the knee. "He's doing better," OSU coach Mike Gundy said. "We probably won't work him out until after the scrimmage (on Saturday). One reason is we want to make sure he's up and running when he gets back. The No. 2 (reason) is this is good teaching and learning experience for these other guys." Brandon Weeden and Alex Cate are battling for the backup quarterback job. Robinson's absence has allowed Gundy to get a closer look at both backups and select a clear-cut No. 2.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYThe OSU players and coaches ended practice by singing happy birthday to Gundy, who turned 42 on Wednesday. When asked if he feels any older he said: "Actually I feel a lot younger. I went on a little longer run today just to make myself feel better."
MOORE MIGHT PLAY AS FRESHMANOne of the early surprises of OSU's preseason camp has been former Tulsa Union standout Tracy Moore. The receiver has caught the eye of Gundy and his teammates during the first week. "There's a chance he can play (instead of redshirt)," Gundy said. "He moves well and has very soft hands. It will be interesting when we are hitting to see how he holds up." Gundy thought there might have been a chance Moore would have to redshirt to prepare his body for Big 12 football. But Moore has made the transition better than expected. And the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder has attributes that make utilizing him as a true freshman intriguing. "He has good size," Gundy said. "He absorbs information, and he's got very good hands."
OKUNG IMPRESSED WITH YOUNGSTERSSenior offensive tackle Russell Okung said he'll be leaving the offensive line in good hands when he moves on after this season. OSU appears to have recruited solid talent with its 2009 offensive line recruits: Brandon Webb, Michael Bowie and Parker Graham. "They kind of remind me of my class," Okung said. "We have a few guys coming up that have impressed me. I kind of see myself in them." Other newcomers, Levy Adcock and Anthony Morgan, are junior college transfers who are expected to provide depth for the Cowboys, likely allowing the true freshmen to redshirt.

Google's Summer of Code Enters New Round in 2009
Google is still accepting applications up to March 13 for Open Source projects wanting to be mentoring organizations for the Summer of Code 2009. Student applications then open officially on March 23.
As Leslie Hawthorn of Google's Open Source team writes in a blog, Google is soliciting organizations to be mentors to students in their Summer of Code (SoC) 2009 program. The program provides funding for developers that implement particularly compelling ideas in open source projects.
Projects can apply to become mentors up to March 13. Students can then begin applying as of March 23. Google will publish the list of mentor organizations on March 18.
By Google's claims more than 2,500 students have successfully participated in the program over the last four years, paired with an equal number of mentors. The program will take place over a three-month period. More than five million lines of source code have been produced and the SoC has grown to be a virtual institution in open source circles. Details about the program are available here as an FAQ and in the #gsoc channel on Freenode.

Konoe Fumimaro and the Communist Conspiracy
Yagami, Kazuo, Southeast Review of Asian Studies
Konoe Fumimaro [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII.] (1891-1945), a direct descendant of the distinguished Fujiwara court family and the author of the controversial and sensational article "Reject the Anglo-Saxon Centered Peace," served three terms as prime minister of Japan during the turbulent period of 1937-41 (Konoe 1936, 233). As prime minister, Konoe tried to save Japan from a doomed confrontation with the United States. Failing in this, he worked vigorously to bring the Pacific war to an early end. Konoe's attempt to end the war was less motivated by his sense of inevitable defeat than by his concern that Japan might eventually fall prey to communism. In fact, Konoe repeatedly stated that Japan would be able to reinvent itself following military defeat as long as it resisted the communist system; communism, on the other hand, would mean national ruin and the end of the Japanese polity.
From the beginning of his political career, Konoe--a right-wing nationalist and court noble with close ties to the royal family--felt that communism was one of the greatest threats facing Japan. He outspokenly opposed the structure of international politics and economics, which he felt favored the interests of the British and the United States and contributed to the ructions of the 1930s. Konoe was more concerned with the menace of communist incursion in Japan.
In keeping with these concerns, Konoe opposed the generally accepted policy of advancing Japanese troops toward the south in order to secure Japan's access to Southeast Asia's raw materials. Along with the Kodo-ha [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII.] (the Imperial Way Faction), Konoe believed that Japan instead needed to respond to Soviet-led Communist expansion in the north.
This explains why Konoe was deeply dismayed when the Kodo-ha lost its dominant role within the military in the aftermath of the February 26 Incident in 1936. Konoe later wrote that the debacle of the Kodo-ha eventually made it possible for its rival faction, the Tosei-ha [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII.] (the Controlled Faction), to carry out the decision to move southward (Konoe 1946, 7).
Though he believed that communism was the greatest menace facing Japan, it is interesting to note that during the war years Konoe seemed unconcerned by the domestic communist movement. Sharing the fate of many other nations, Japan was subject to the worldwide communist advance, with communist-afiliated groups and individuals quietly working for the communist cause, but neither Konoe's own writings nor contemporary accounts give any indication that he took the rise of domestic communism seriously as a national threat.
Konoe's concern with domestic communism, however, took a drastic turn as Japan inched closer to ultimate defeat in the early summer of 1945. Konoe began to argue that Japan's military aggression during the 1930s, starting with the Manchurian Incident in 1931, was triggered by elaborate conspiracies of the Japanese left. The supposed goal was to embroil the country in war with the idea of instituting a communist system in the aftermath.
This was a radical and rather sudden alteration of Konoe's prior view. As indicated by his own writing, Konoe had, throughout his political career until his death in 1946, pointed to the inegalitarian dynamic of the world economy and politics as the basic engine of instability and conflict. This explains his passionate involvement in international affairs. Konoe took part in the Paris Peace Talks in early 1919 as a young activist, hoping for the triumph of Wilsonian Democracy as a means of lessening this world inequality (Konoe 1919, 167-68). In the early 1920s, he became a fervent critic of the Washington Conference System, which he considered a mechanism for maintaining the status quo of "haves and have-nots" (Yagami 2009, 67-80). Upon becoming prime minister in the summer of 1937, Konoe began to promote an idea of "Asia for Asia" as one response to problem of world inequality. …

Apple unveils iPad, iPhone pay system
NEW YORK — Apple Inc. announced a subscription system for buying newspapers and magazines on iPhone and iPad applications on Tuesday, making it easier for publishers to mine the popular mobile devices for more revenue.
The update announced Tuesday enables publishers to sell subscriptions by the week, month, year or other period of time, instead of asking readers to buy each issue separately.
The added convenience promises to help publishers sell more digital copies as they look to smart phones and tablet computers to replace some of the revenue that has disappeared over the past few years as readers and advertisers migrated from print editions.
But publishers won't be allowed to automatically collect personal information about people who buy subscriptions through the Apple apps. That data is prized by publishers because they use it for marketing purposes.
Instead, subscribers who sign up through an app on an Apple device will be given the option to share their information with publishers, a choice most people don't make. If people don't share their information with publishers, Apple will still hold onto it, though it will not pass it on to the publishers or other third parties.
"We were glad to see Apple come to a conclusion on this," said David Thompson, publisher of The Oklahoman. "Though we still need some clarification, we look forward to working with Apple to mutually benefit our readers."
"We view this as one of our most important digital distribution channels," Thompson said. "We launched our iPad application late last year and it has successfully connected with our audience. We continue to see growth each week."
Time Inc., whose magazines include Sports Illustrated, People and Time, applauded Apple for allowing publishers to sell app subscriptions, but said it still has questions about access to customer information.
Sports Illustrated, for one, already has worked out deals to sell subscriptions with access to customer data on computer tablets running on software made by Apple rivals Google Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co.
Apple will take its standard 30 percent cut from all app and content sales made in its iTunes store, which peddles a variety of music, movies, games and e-books. This new subscription system also applies to video and music services — for instance, the app for Netflix.
Content providers that don't want to automatically give Apple a slice of the revenue can try to sell subscriptions outside the app, too. One way to do that would be through the Web browser, although that might prove too much of a hassle for people already used to buying apps, music and other things on iTunes.
Apple is insisting the financial terms of the digital subscriptions sold outside the app be no better than those offered in the iTunes store.
And people must have the option to buy subscriptions within iTunes, if they want.

I think having a mandolin for getting the uniform thinness is key. Also, at 400 degrees, I lost 1/2 a tray because there is not much time between light brown and burnt with the thinness of the chip. Still I will make them again and expirment with different spices.
Not sure what I did wrong but chips never got crisp. I even stuck them back in on a cookie rack. I used a mandolin to slice thin. Still taste good, but missing that crunch.
when I first made these it was a chore getting them sliced, but a mandolin and olive oil mister now make these a quick and easy favorite at our house!
Excellent! Made them for a party! The guest were even eating the burnt ones!

The Cheetah Experience is a wildlife center in South Africa that is dedicated to the care and controlled breeding of cheetahs, since these cats are endangered in the wild. Their aim is help release more of these cats back into the wild, where they will be monitored from afar to make sure that they stay safe and continue to breed in their natural habitat.
In this video, a volunteer has a truly special interaction with one of the rescued cheetahs in the center. It's amazing, but she's able to lie down next to the cat, give him a good scratch, and even kiss him! If you turn your speakers up, you can hear the cheetah purring just like a house cat!
These animals are wild, and should be able to live their lives in the wild, but for those who have been rescued and need constant monitoring, a habitat like the Cheetah Experience is the perfect place to live, especially when they get so much love!

Manchester United see 1999 omen in FA Cup quarter-final draw
MANCHESTER UNITED are on course for an FA Cup quarter-final showdown with Chelsea.
We are going to the champions of this country and I will be proud to take my players to that stadium.
And holders Chelsea booked their fifth-round slot yesterday when they beat League One Brentford 4-0 in a fourth-round replay at Stamford Bridge.
Rafa Benitez's men go to Middlesbrough on February 27 with the winners due at Old Trafford over the weekend of March 9-10.
If Sir Alex Ferguson's side are looking for an omen, they were drawn against the Stamford Bridge club at the same stage in 1999 on their way to the Treble.
That game was a 0-0 draw before United won 2-0 in London, eventually beating Newcastle in the final.
They also met in the 2007 final, when a Didier Drogba goal secured Chelsea's 1-0 win.
United's neighbours City were handed a home draw against Championship Barnsley as a reward for their 4-0 stroll against Leeds yesterday.
Barnsley boss David Flitcroft, brother of former City star Garry, told Sky: "It's not sunk in yet. It won't sink in until I speak to Gaz and his lads.
"The group of players that I'm working with at the moment and the staff and the football club and the supporters, they deserve to get a tie of this magnitude.
"We are going to the champions of this country and I will be proud to take my players to that stadium.
"The lads have deserved this and we will make sure they go there and enjoy the day and the experience.
"But we want to go there and give a good account of ourselves and try and cause an upset.
"This is a cup of dreams, a cup of heroes, and I do dream.
"I hope we will give a great account of ourselves and I am really excited to lead the club on this occasion.
"And as a coach, to pit your wits against one of the world's best excites me as well."
Blackburn's reward for their shock 1-0 win at Arsenal was a trip to fellow Championship side Millwall, who ended the run of non-League Luton with a 3-0 victory.
The other quarter-final will see Wigan, who won 4-1 at Huddersfield yesterday, travel to Oldham or Everton.
The League One outfit, the lowest-ranked side still in the tournament, earned a visit to Goodison Park for a replay after Matt Smith scored a stoppage-time equaliser in Saturday's 2-2 draw.
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez said: "It's a great tie. Oldham have been magnificent.
"It is still an open game and we will follow that one with interest."

Oklahoma State football: How the Cowboys' offense keeps getting faster
STILLWATER — The Cowboys keep spinning through offensive coordinators. And yet, they keep ramping up expectations on playing faster than the previous play caller.
"It's something you have to see to believe," said Oklahoma State offensive tackle Parker Graham.
And something to understand. It's not so much about how fast they move during the action, as it is their giddy up between plays, with an emphasis on producing the next snap — ASAP.
"It's not playing fast, the speed of the game during the play," said receiver Blake Webb. "It's after the play. Getting the ball back to the ref, getting back to the line and getting the ball snapped."
During spring scrimmages, there were reports that the elapsed time from the moment when one play was whistled dead and the next play was snapped never reached 10 seconds and averaged somewhere in the neighborhood of eight seconds.
And yes, that's faster than the Cowboys operated under Dana Holgorsen or Todd Monken.
"This is my fourth offensive coordinator in my five years being here, so getting adjusted to each one is a little different," Graham said. "But going from Holgorsen to Monken and now to Yurcich, it's crazy how much faster we've gotten each year."
OSU's emphasis on pace dates back to the attacks of Larry Fedora, who worked as Mike Gundy's first coordinator. Fedora brought the no-huddle to the Cowboys, yet liked to fluctuate the speed of getting plays called, stressing defenses in different ways.
Holgorsen brought more of an up-tempo approach to every play, with Monken pushing the pedal even faster.
Now Yurcich is flooring it.
So, how fast is fast?
"I don't know if there's a time we try to quantify," Yurcich said, "we just want to make sure we're exhausting the defense. And that we're disrupting their lines of communication. And that we're limiting their ability to substitute."
Texas coach Mack Brown knows all about that. A year ago, Brown vowed to return the Longhorns to a physical, ground-oriented offensive style. Already he's abandoned it, in a sort of if-you-can't-beat-'em, join-'em nod to the success of teams like OSU, which he complimented as a trendsetter attack in the Big 12.
Brown said he's making the shift as much for his defense as his offense.
"Last year I saw, during the season in our league, defenses having trouble getting defensive calls in the game because nobody was substituting and the ball was being snapped so quickly," Brown said.
"I also saw that players were getting very tired across our league on defense, big guys were having trouble rushing the passer, they were having trouble getting out of the game because people weren't substituting, and we felt like it was a real disadvantage to our defense that they didn't get to see tempo at any time during practice."
And just as Brown makes his counter move, the Cowboys are hoping to stay one step ahead.
"In the Big 12, a lot of teams run the spread, but nobody really runs it like us," Webb said. "So you see a lot of confusion. And you see people get tired, and they try to sub and they can't.
"That's an advantage for us."
Said Graham: "Last year we were trying to throw refs out of the way so we could get the ball going. This year, I don't even think the ref is going to get a chance to get it down. We're just going to grab it from him and go.
"It's going to be a lot of fun for us. We love playing fast. It's a lot of fun to wear out the defense. By the fourth quarter, they're going to be trying to crawl off the field."
Yurcich makes it all sound simple, and in terms of philosophy, it is simple: hustle up after the play; hustle back to the line; hurry and snap the ball.
And repeat.
Making it all happen smoothly, however, requires a concerted effort from everyone, linemen included. For the big guys, their job description is changing, with the flat-bellied Graham and his linemates literally changing the shape of the position.
"I think that's something that coach (Joe) Wickline and the offensive line embrace," Yurcich said. "They know that's our strength. And they identify with that."
Strength and conditioning coach Rob Glass has become even more instrumental in getting the Cowboys up to speed, pushing players through offseason workouts. And it extends across the board.
For the wide receivers, who run faster and farther than the linemen, their roles resemble something like a hockey shift: play to exhaustion, then get off the field for a break.
"Last year, I thought we were going fast," said receiver David Glidden. "I could go five, six, seven plays in a row. This time, not so much.
"The substitutions are a little more rapid."
Defensively, the Cowboys should also benefit, just working to keep up their offense.
"It definitely forces you to be in top shape," said linebacker Shaun Lewis. "It makes you take care of your body, because you can't be out here moving slow with them. It makes you think fast.
"I think we have one of the fastest offenses in the country. If we practice against that every day, it will only make us that much better as a defense."
Yurcich knows he's not reinventing the wheel, with spread offenses now the rage at all levels of the game, the NFL included. But he is going for a shinier, sportier — and most of all — speedier version.
"Innovation always occurs in this particular sport," Yurcich said. "It's a lot of fun and our players really enjoy it. That's important.
"And our fans enjoy it too, so that's a good thing."

CLOSE CALL: Demi Lovato nearly takes out Paul McCartney, and lives to tweet about it, per the Insider, ""So.... today I was pulling into a parking space that some guys were standing in the middle of, and almost hit them.....

LIFE'S A HITCH: Or something like that, per the AP, "B doesn't just stand for broadcasting at ABC. The network uses the letter as an abbreviation for "bitch" in the title of its new Wednesday night sitcom "Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23." ABC's prime-time soap "GCB" is based on the book "Good Christian Bitches," although it says the B actually stands for "belles." http://apne.ws/Hs3noL
GAME CHANGE: Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have agreed to headline a TV series, True Detective, per Deadline Hollywood, "It centers on two detectives, Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a seventeen-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened." http://bit.ly/ID0BPp

May 25, 2016
According to the East Lansing Police Department, 41 people were arrested Friday night in East Lansing. Charges included alcohol possession, public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
Police say they normally arrest 20 to 30 people a night during the university's first weekend before classes, but they say the increased number of bookings are not due to increased problems, but just stricter enforcement.
Police say they are putting people in jail at the first offense and not giving warnings. They say they didn't see any results from giving out warnings in previous situations.
The MSU Department of Public Safety says they had less arrests and signs of on-campus intoxication on Friday. They say it may be due to strict dormitory rules prohibiting alcohol.

What kinds of tools does an ambassador have to work with in wartime? In Spain they were a variegated lot.
The Foreign Service officer component was small, experienced, and effective. More than half became ambassadors. The Auxiliary officers, temporary appointees with legal or economic training, in some cases both, also were effective. One of them, Covey Oliver, became an ambassador and, later, an assistant secretary of state.
One of my first acts, after arriving in Madrid, was to examine the embassy files back to the First World War. Our ambassador at the time the monarchy fell was Erwin B. Laughlin, a career diplomat who, judging by what I read in the files, spent his summers quite properly in San Sebastián while the Foreign Office was installed there, his winters in Marrakesh where the climate is infinitely superior to Madrid's, and the rest of his time mostly with monarchists in Madrid, when

I've just adjusted both the rear and the front derailleur, but the chain keeps rubbing against the cage even though the I'm switching gears smoothly (minus the rubbing of course).
In gear 3, it rubs on the largest two rear wheel sprockets. In gear two it rubs on the middle 2 sprockets. And in 1st, it does not rub at all.
How can I fix this?

Bradford White or Kenmore HWH?
I am replacing my 20 year-old Montgomery Ward electric HWH. I have it narrowed down between a Bradford White 50-gallon model, 6-year warranty, $595 professionally installed (I know, boo-hiss) or a $449 Kenmore 55-gallon model w/ 12-year warranty, installed by myself. From what I can tell, Kenmore HWH's are made by A.O. Smith. I'm leaning towards the Kenmore. Any opinions?

First Public Offerings May Be near for Securities Backed by Auto Loans, but Success May Require Exemptions from Fed's Reserve Requirements
Zigas, David, American Banker
WASHINGTON -- The first publicly offered securities backed by automobile loans are slated to be sold in the near future, but the success of such deals may hinge on exemptions now under consideration by the Federal Reserve Board.
The two leading mortgage-backed securities firms, Salomon Brothers Inc. and the First Boston Corp., are competing to be the first to go to market and have filed prospectuses with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which has not yet approved either deal.
Salomon's deal, a $60 million offering for MM Car Finance Inc., is for pass-through securities backed by loans originated and serviced by Marine Midland Bank Inc. The securities are known as Certificates for Automobile Receivables, or CARs.
First Boston is planning a $100 million offering of Valley National Financial Corp., a finance subsidiary of Valley National Corp., a Phoenix bank holding company. Officials at First Boston said they expect the deal to be priced within the next week.
Both deal have been structured to avoid running afoul of Fed reserve requirements. In the case of Salomon and Marine, a last-minute restructuring was needed that will cause the deal to be less profitable than originally planned. Salomon Brothers has written the Fed, sources at the firm said, seeking assurances that other, more profitable structures will be permitted, but the Fed has not yet responded.
The Fed's reserve reqirements call for a certain percentage of deposits to beset aside as nonyielding, "sterile" funds to assure safe bank operations. Capital reqirements are designed to insure liquidity and call for about 6% of the bank's assets to be available as low-yielding, liquid investments.
According to a prospectus of last March, Marine Midland proposed to insure an offering of its own subsidiary, based on the bank's creditworthiness. The Fed, however, indicated that it would impose reserve requirements on the full amount of the borrowing and would consider the car loans to be on the bank's books as assets for computing capital. …

Empower Yourself with a Boudoir/Portrait Photo Shoot
Society seems overloaded with images and ideas what it means to look perfect, sexy and beautiful. Just because you are not a size 2 or weigh a certain amount doesn't make you any less beautiful than another person. Beauty is so much more than skin deep; it is our personalities, experiences, self-confidence and outlook on life that truly makes us beautiful.
While this concept is often easier said than done, there are many ways to feel beautiful again.
1. Sit up straight and walk with proper posture. There was a study done by the European Journal of Social Psychology that found subjects who sat up straight in their chairs were more confident. Think about it, if boosted confidence is a factor of feeling beautiful and slouching decreases confidence…you should stop slouching!
2. Find the things you love about yourself and focus on those features. When you draw attention away from your "flaws" and focus on your best attributes, you will see your own beauty easier than if you were to focus on your "flaws". For the record, flaws are only flaws if you make them into something negative.
3. Smile. Yes, it is that easy! Professor Paul Ekman PhD, at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, showed that smiling lifts the muscles around your eyes and lips, which will make you look younger. It also creates a "ripple-effect" where you brain gets a mood boost from the muscle contractions and that boost only increases as people smile back at you. You cannot argue with science…and don't forget, a smile looks good on everyone!
4. Have a photo shoot for yourself. No, you aren't conceited in wanting a sexy boudoir shoot for yourself; in fact you're showing your inner strength and confidence. If you are less than confident in your appearance, make it known to your boudoir photographer. When discussing poses and settings, talk about your feelings regarding your appearance with your photographer, they are professionals trained to bring inner beauty and sex appeal out in photos and accentuate the outer beauty's best attributes. Boudoir shoots and glamour shots are a good idea because it allows you to see the angles and views of yourself that you can't normally see. When you see every inch of yourself in your boudoir and glamour pictures, you can love every inch of yourself.
5. Surround yourself with positive people. You are the company you keep, and if you surround yourself with people who constantly criticize their own looks and appearances, you'll do the same to yourself. Spend time with people who are confident with their bodies and how they look and you will follow suit.
Feeling beautiful takes effort, but it's worth it. When you feel beautiful, you'll love yourself more and when you love yourself, your life becomes more positive. Happy and positive people are not only more successful, but they live longer too. So, embrace who you are, embrace your outer appearance and most of all, accept the things you cannot change with open arms.

Buying a Christmas #gift can be tough. And, if you're not getting your loved one a Boudoir Café photo package, gifting can be even tougher.
Lucky for you – we have yet another wonderful #gift solution! (Which works perfectly in tandem with a Boudoir Café photo shoot…)
My lovely friend, Carla Vaz de Almeida, makes wonderful, hand-crafted shoes. Her company, Lisbon Shoemakers, is getting attention for its elegance (and its edge) in their one-of-a-kind creations. Like the Boudoir Café, Lisbon Shoemakers is creating a unique, quality and sexy name for itself in the fashion and beauty industry.
Carla knows that a pair of heels is about identity. When you look at a shoe you want, you can already see yourself wearing them. Shoes complete an outfit – and more importantly, they complete you. Whatever look you are going for (and whatever aesthetic you feel matches your soul), shoes are always the answer. And, especially for a Boudoir Café photo shoot, you want to be able to really feel yourself. No doubt, Carla's shoes can be the answer for you.
Carla draws her inspiration from her home city of Lisbon, Portugal. Full of culture and tradition but also of light and innovation, the resemblance definitely reflects in her creations. When you put them on, you are sure to be an eye-catcher. Imagine, what you can look like with just those shoes on. I'm sure your hubby doesn't mind that image.
The shoes take about six to nine days to complete, so order now to make sure you get your sexy boudoir gift in time!
So consider the perfect pair of boudoir shoes as a #gift this holiday season! They can be the perfect stocking stuffer addition to a Boudoir Café photo package.
Alright, we know Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Which means… That's right, so is #Christmas!
The Boudoir Café knows how difficult it is to pick out a #gift for your special someone. After all, what do you get someone who already has everything? (And, by "everything," we mean you, darling.)
Shopping on Black Friday poses the risk of injury. Buying a #gift on another day during the holiday season is just tedious. Plus, there is always the risk that you get a #gift that your partner won't even like. It happens. We know. But it doesn't lessen the sting of giving your soul mate something they did not like.
The Boudoir Café has a pretty awesome #Christmas #gift suggestion: a special, sexy, boudoir photo package.
Girls, this is definitely a #gift he will love; and, with The Boudoir Café experience, it is a #gift that you'll have fun giving, too! And guys, if you get her a Boudoir Café photo package for Christmas it is a double #gift for you too! Not only did you buy your girl a pampering and beauty day to make her (and you) so happy – but you also bought unique, lust-worthy photos to last for many Christmases to come.
This is one #gift that really really keeps on giving!
Even though we're in LA, we can create some beautiful wintertime memories. Backdrops can include snowy landscapes, Santa's workshop – anything your heart desires! (And it doesn't even have to be holiday-themed… Though it certainly is in keeping with the spirit that it is!) Hedley and I make sure to sit down with you to talk about exactly what you want the final result to look like.
Book a Boudoir Café experience today to get your photography #gift package by the time the holidays come around!
Until then, remember: you can be naughty and nice – and still make it on Santa's list, even twice. Especially if you give the adorable elves at Boudoir Café a call.
Okay, we've said it before and we'll say it again: curvy is beautiful. Girls, your curves are the reasons men drool after you. Men don't have curves. They're all angles, squares, and straight lines. The soft curves of your body are fascinating to them, they crave to get to know the wonders of them.
That being said, sometimes we want to tone up. Sometimes, we don't feel too comfortable with every single centimeter of our curves. And that isn't a problem. Yes, mainstream media has put this idea of the "perfect female body" into our head. But we're smart enough to know that that is a bunch of hocus pocus. All of our bodies are already perfect. But, self-confidence often relies on what makes us feel comfortable within our own skin… And sometimes that means dropping that last five to ten pounds of that little bitty weight that is clinging onto us.
Now, our healthy and body experts here at The Boudoir Café have a completely easy way to lose that last 5-10 pounds easily! (A piece of advice and self-care which is only one of the many little extra dashes of sweetness that keep us as the #1 Boudoir Photographers in LA and Las Vegas!)
This plan requires no unnecessary fuss, no expensive equipment to buy, nothing to count or measure, and really – nothing to even buy, that you may not already be buying! Yes, you can begin this lovely Boudoir Café diet as soon as you are done reading this article!
Are you ready for it? The super simple, easy, and manageable method of losing that few stubborn pounds is to just eat protein, vegetables, and fruit! This is probably a diet some of you have heard before. And there is a scientifically proven reason why it works: A diet of protein, vegetables and fruit is equivalent to what our ancestors (those hard working hunters and gatherers) used to fill their bodies with. And, with all the added physical work they did during the day (much the same way you are exerting your own body by perhaps walking to work, or going grocery shopping, or maybe doing that extra bit of cardio by taking a stroll around the block after dinner) it easily burned off these healthy calories, stabilizing and energizing the human system.
Truly, The Boudoir Café assures you that this will not at all require any drastic changes to your diet. It really ends up about being cutting out carbs and starches and dairy… But it is also scientifically proven that not only do these two food groups add weight very easily; it is also proven by evolutionary biology that these two food groups are difficult for our homosapien bodies to digest in the first place – because starches and carbs and dairy were not part of our original diet plan, from the very beginning. We hold onto the weight from processed and inorganic food products so easily because they are not naturally really meant to be in our body anyway!
So here's what we, at The Boudoir Café, personally recommend you do if you are feeling a little insecure about that extra few pounds: eat healthy, eat natural, and be the bad, hunting and gathering woman you once were eras ago. If it's not grown or made by nature, don't eat it! I mean, we don't totally recommend you get completely down with your bad self and go and hunt and gather in the wilderness for yourself (unless you're into that, in which case we totally approve… you go girl!). Really, a quick trip to the grocery store should suffice.
Personally, I lost 12 pounds in just 2 months! Doctors even say that losing 5-6 pounds per month is the healthy average at which to lose weight – and keep it off, too! Even better… I am never hungry! For example, my guilty pleasures are sweet potato fries and a hamburger. Instead of this, I choose to eat half of a baked sweet potato (because it does still count as a starch… make sure to still treat yourself, diet isn't a punishment at all!!) and a burger without the buns. I have sausage and eggs for breakfast; and a huge salad with tuna for lunch. At night, I treat myself to some fruit for dessert!
And then, when you find those tinsie-insie pounds slipping away (and the time it takes for this to happen varies from woman to woman, as our metabolisms all hold and lose weight in extremely different ways), and you see yourself standing in front the mirror more and thinking, "I am the most beautiful of them all" – give The Boudoir Café a call, because we have the perfect photoshoot, pampering, and Queen for a Day experience that will make you feel, "Yes, this is my body, and I own it, and I am proud of it. It does so much for me, and I do so much for it. I am beautiful and strong, and I never want to forget that for the rest of my life." And you have found the right people to call: the supporting, caring and best boudoir photographers in LA and Las Vegas, The Boudoir Café, promises that we will capture that forever-moment.
I think we all remember the first time, as little girls, when we tried on high heels. We stumbled like baby giraffes, trying to emulate the way we saw our mothers walk. And later, as teens, it was runway models we had in mind as we slipped on strappy stilettos.
And, of course, there is a reason for this. When we saw our mothers walk in high heels, we admired her stature and her grace as our first role models. And then super models became our idols with their smirking, pouty lips and quick and confident strut.
Ever since we were dreamy young women, heels have been a symbol of power and adulthood. And for good reason! We now know that when we put on high heels, they lift us above our normal height; in the workplace they lift us above men and above the glass ceiling; and when we down the street (whether it be to the office or to the club) the smart noise the heels make against the concrete assures of our womanly strength. When we wear a pair of heels, we keep our head high and our hopes higher. We are the beautiful and accomplished women who our mothers wanted us to be; and we are equal (or better than) the models we once revered.
Truly, high heels have so many proven benefits. Yes, they add height. But they also improve our posture, making us throw our shoulders back and keep our head up -- a proven powerhouse stance. And, in terms of sex appeal, heels lengthen our legs and push up our cute booty. No wonder models looked so good walking down that runway! Their legs looked sky-high, their behinds looks perfectly perky, and they looked down from a great height with their hooded eyes at the lowly audience. Impossible to resist.
You know you are impossible to resist in high heels! And can you imagine how super sexy you would be in a steamy boudoir photoshoot, with just some lingerie and strappy heels on? No need to imagine any longer, friends! As the #1 boudoir photography studio in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, The Boudoir Cafe encourages all of our clients to wear heels during their photoshoot. The Boudoir Cafe believes (and it's true!) that there is something unbelievably enchanting about a boudoir photograph in which a woman in lace is standing, sitting or lying down with her long legs elongated and her behind round and perky with a pair of high heels. And your face in a Boudoir Cafe boudoir shoot as you do this shows that you know how good you look with those heels on. Head to heeled-toe, you give off a total come-hither vibe.
At The Boudoir Cafe, we even have heels we can provide for you, if you don't ave any ones of your own that you think will foot the bill! Because we are one of the most famous boudoir photographers in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas area, we have the great honor of being the owners of a high-heel collection (see pics in this post!!) that you are completely welcome to choose from at the time of your shoot as a part of your pampering hair and makeup session. Because, really, what's a queen without some high heels? You should be able to sit on your thrown higher than everyone, and you should be able to look down on everyone not as gorgeous as you (the same way those models did), and you should rule with grace and confidence (the same way your mother did).
After all, it was the great and fabulous Marilyn Monroe who said, "I don't know who invented high heels. But whoever he was, all women owe him a lot!"
We sure do!!
Exciting news, boudoir fans!!
The Boudoir Café was featured on the popular current news website, The Daily Beast! :
Journalist Samantha Allen was kind enough to contact me and The Boudoir Café team as prime contributors to her article, "How Boudoir Photos Are Redefining Sexy." The article itself is lovely, and has a lot of good words to say about boudoir by those who have participated and been changed by it; and by boudoir photographers (including Hedley and myself!) who have found a great passion and art in capturing such intimate and beautiful moments.
Do yourself a favor and read it! Just like a boudoir photoshoot experience itself, it promises not to disappoint.
