Without A Shot
Richard Amper, president of the Pine Barrens Society and a long-time thorn in the county executive's side, is highly critical of Spota's action.
"The public was ill-served," Amper adamantly tells the Press, "because we don't know what it is that Levy is guilty of—and his only punishment is not running for re-election. It isn't even removal from office! On the other hand," Amper says with a laugh, "maybe we should have sent Spota to Libya because he seems to be able to obtain regime change without firing a shot!"
Suffolk County Comptroller Joseph Sawicki Jr., a Republican, has more sympathy for Spota than he does for the county executive.
"I'm not one to second-guess him," says Sawicki, a former ranking Republican on the state Assembly ethics committee. "It's like you trust your doctor to make the right decision. The fact is, he got the guy out of our hair, and he's not going to be able to run again. Regardless of who wins, I'm really looking forward to having a government that can work for the people, where we can get along and disagree like gentlemen and ladies…rather than Levy trying to tear the county apart just out of personal vendettas."
To Sawicki, whose office is in the midst of auditing the county jail, the largest Suffolk public works project in three decades, "What sticks in people's minds is that Steve Levy has yet to come clean and tell the people who voted for him in two consecutive elections what he did wrong that forced him to leave office…. No one in their right mind is going to give up $4 million unless there's a substantial problem. [Levy] holds a press conference when he stubs his toe. Yet [here] he's been extremely silent and goes to the extreme of evading the question, and that's not fair to the people of Suffolk County."
Despite repeated encouragement to address questions raised by the county executive's statement in March, the Levy administration would only officially say it was unavailable for comment. Likewise, the district attorney's office stressed that it was constrained by the agreement with Levy and by ongoing investigations into related matters so it too would not expand on its March public statement.
"I initially agreed with the D.A.'s decision," says Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer William Lindsay (D-Holbrook), who's clashed repeatedly with Levy over the years. Lindsay said that having to hold a special election to replace Levy—had he been forced to resign—might have cost the county more than $1 million.
"I hope it was the right decision for the Suffolk County taxpayer," he says wistfully, admitting that he's had some second thoughts about it but he's glad that the residents were spared a long, drawn-out trial as Levy used his millions to defend himself. "Although I have been on opposite sides of so many issues with the county executive, I didn't want our government to go into a state of limbo and get nothing done."
But Lindsay conceded that "there are still people out there who say to me, 'Well, what did he do?' I really don't know. That's a legitimate question. They have a right to know."
The Democratic presiding officer's sentiment is shared by a political leader on the opposing side, Suffolk Republican Chairman John Jay LaValle, who's been credited with helping to persuade Levy to join the Grand Old Party last year.
"While it may be necessary to withhold specific details," LaValle says, "there is no argument that can be made to withhold all of the details of this matter. This is a sitting county executive of a county that is larger than 13 states.
An individual whose popularity was completely off the charts, and in a matter of minutes his entire political career ended, and we're all left in the dark about what occurred. I make these comments based upon specific conversations with Steve Levy wherein he has indicated that he has done nothing wrong.
"The district attorney has done a good job in Suffolk County," LaValle emphasizes, "but we in the public are just dumbfounded that someone in such a high office could be removed from office without any explanation whatsoever… I was assured that more details would follow in the future, and we haven't had any details. No one else has been indicted. No one else has been arrested. No one else has been implicated. Nothing has occurred. It all just went away."

After police stopped a 13-year-old boy for riding his bicycle without a proper light in the 1700 block of Sumner Street on Friday night, he was found to be in the possession of what police said was suspected to be marijuana. The boy has been referred to the city's restorative justice program.
Longmont police arrested a 22-year-old man in the Collyer Park area, Sixth Avenue and Collyer Street, shortly after noon on Friday after a computer check showed the man to be wanted by Loveland police for failure to appear in court on a possession-of-drug-paraphernalia charge. He was found Friday to be in possession of a suspected methamphetamine pipe and another pipe containing a small amount of what's suspected to be marijuana, police said, and they issued him summonses for that, as well.
Police investigated a Friday report of a burglary on the 900 block of Mountain View Avenue, where a clubhouse door had been forcibly entered but no property appeared to have been stolen.
An Erie resident reported Friday that his maroon 1966 Fort Mustang convertible had been stolen from a parking lot behind the 500 block of Main Street.
A 28-year-old man was arrested Friday on suspicion of stealing items from a store on the 500 block of South Hover Street by using a knife to cut the security tags from that merchandise. Police said the man was found to have an Exacto knife, a cell phone, a Sony PlayStation controller, a CD and an iPod docking station on him, as well as keys from a vehicle that officers later found had been reported stolen. Police said Friday's allegedly stolen merchandise was worth a total of about $214, and a store security employee told officers that the man also is suspected of stealing about $295 worth of merchandise from the same store on Aug. 15.
Police got several reports of bicycle thefts on Thursday, including two bikes stolen from the front porch of a home on the 1400 block of Auburn Court; a bike stolen from the sidewalk on the 200 block of Main Street; and one stolen from a fenced backyard of a home on the 100 block of 21st Avenue.
More than $800 worth of perfume was stolen from a business on the 200 block of Ken Pratt Boulevard, according to a store employee's Thursday report to police.
A resident of the 3100 block of Colgate Drive reported Thursday that that someone had illegally entered two vehicles parked in his driveway, stealing two GPS units.

I have Glippy installed on my Natty machine. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago, when the indicator applet mysteriously disappeared. The same is the case with Parcelite. Does anyone else face this problem? If yes, is there a way we can get this applet to show on the top panel? If no, how do I troubleshoot this and get the applet back? Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Got the solution! I followed this article and 'enabled the systray for all applications'. Now I got glippy back on my systray.

On Celebrating bin Laden's Demise, Cont'd
There's a debate over at Speakeasy concerning whether it is justifiable to celebrate Osama bin Laden's death. (College students, notably, took to the streets as if they'd just won an NCAA title.) NPR's Linton Weeks also surveyed ethicists and theologians on this question. The Harvard philosopher Christine Korsgaard offered the most thorough analysis:
Most people believe that the killing we do in war is justified as the only way to disable an enemy whose cause we believe to be unjust. And although it is more controversial, many people believe, or at least feel, that those who kill deserve to die as retribution for their crimes.
But if we confuse the desire to defeat an enemy with the desire for retribution against a criminal, we risk forming attitudes that are unjustified and ugly—the attitude that our enemy's death is not merely a means to disabling him, but is in itself a kind of a victory for us, or perhaps even the attitude that our enemy deserves death because he is our enemy.
It is important, Korsgaard says, "not to confuse the desire for retribution with the desire to defeat an enemy. But because terrorism partakes of both crime and war, it is perfectly natural, and perhaps legitimate, to have both of these attitudes towards Osama bin Laden: to think that we had to disable him, and to think that he deserved to die."
The two sentiments should be kept apart, she says. "If we have any feeling of victory or triumph in the case, it should be because we have succeeded in disabling him — not because he is dead.

Flare (QTF)
From Team Fortress Wiki
(Redirected from Flare (Classic))
The Flare is a grenade that appears in Quake Team Fortress. When the "secondary grenade" key is released, the player will fire a Flare that will move in a straight line, but will stop when it hits a wall. When it hits a wall, it will light up the area around it. It will last for a few seconds, then disappear. It is only used by the Sniper.
- The Flare is the only grenade in Quake Team Fortress that did not appear in Team Fortress Classic.
- The Flare is a reskinned laser fired by one of the Guards, an enemy in the original Quake.

FFS! I am so sick you you rich american bastards and your cable. Have you ever stopped to think of anyone outside your own goddamned country? Has it ever occured to you that many of us cant afford cable or cant get in our area/city?
The statitics show that over 90% of people have 56k. Sure, the percentage of gamers with cable is growing fast, but if game designers start catering for their needs, there will be no way for anyone to actually get into gaming in the first place, because it would be so goddamn laggy. (I hate to reference it, but) Counter-Strike has an AMAZING netcode. I consistantly get sub 150 pings, and the client side prediction code makes it feel like their is no lag at all. The last time I checked, there were 50,000 people playing counterstrike. 50,000!. I wouldn't want to go through and check everyones ping, but I can garuntee that the majority would be on 56k.
Stop being so goddamn spoilt and think of those others without cable.
[/really pissed off at lpbs]
[edit] Sorry to everyone that i may have offended, this is not personally targeted at anyone, its just I'm so annoyed that im forced onto 56k and then cablers rub my low bandwith in my face that I just have to vent every once and a while.
*Disclaimer: This was an angry rant about nothing in particular. Don't mind me.
[<b>That's better.... no need to turn this into a flame-war. Keep in mind that in fact most of the world don't even own computers, much less have affordable internet access. It's sad, but it's reality. And if you can afford broadband, you're pretty lucky. - Kurgan</b>]

Strength, Durability…and now Flexibility.
Sure, a mortise lock is one of the strongest and longest lasting locks available. But who says it has to be the most complex to order and install? When designing the 40H mortise lock, Best Access Systems decided to focus on things that would make the lock easier to use, while at the same time maintaining the strength, durability, and dependability you would expect in a BEST mortise lock. In addition to the ability to quickly change the lock handing, the universal case design of the 40H provides the ability to reconfigure a lock into many different functions easily and quickly, often by rearranging existing parts without disassembling the lock case. The efficiency of the design enables over 12 of the most commonly used lock functions to be included in just 3 case configurations. The 40H provides the ability to postpone decisions on how the lock will be configured all the way up to the point of installation, making it one of the most flexible and user-friendly mortise locks available. This translates into value for anyone involved in the process, whether they're an architect, specification writer, distributor, or end-user.
Best Access Systems offers three ways in which to order the 40H mortise lock. YOU get to choose which method meets your needs.
Function Specific Lock
If you know exactly what you need in a mortise lock, and are confident that your needs won't change, then order your 40H locks in the traditional way by specifying the exact function, trim, finish, and handing. BEST will build the locks to work exactly as specified, so they may or may not have the ability to be converted to another function in the future.
Universal Lock
If you want to keep your options open, this method of ordering the 40H is for you. BEST has developed three "universal" functions that can be configured to a variety of common functions, all without opening the lock case. When any of the universal functions are ordered as a complete lock, all the necessary parts (including trim) are provided to configure any of the functions in that group.
For the maximum flexibility in ordering a mortise lock, BEST provides a way to order your 40H lock in three parts: Inside Trim, Case Only, and Outside Trim. The kits that make up these three parts have been carefully designed so that when all three are combined you have everything found in a complete 40H lock.
This order method is ideal for customers wanting to stock a variety of trim designs with a minimal number of lock cases.
No more searching through service manuals or calling technical support for the right part numbers. BEST has developed a variety of kits you can order when you only need part of a 40H mortise, rather than the whole lock.
Case Only
A Case Only lock includes all parts normally included with a complete lock that are not specifically associated with either the inside or outside trim, including: lock case, faceplate, strike and strike box, fasteners (for case and strike), and installation instructions. Case Only mortise locks will be shipped in the standard mortise packaging, allowing trim kits to be included at a future date to make a complete lock.
Trim Kits
A 40H Trim Kit is simply one half of a complete trim package. An Outside Trim Kit must always be matched up with an Inside Trim Kit to operate with a lock. Each kit includes all the necessary parts (including fasteners) required for installation that are associated with just the one side of the door.
Strike Packages
The universal (non-handed) strike & strike box combination is supplied as standard for all 40H functions. For applications where the strike box cannot be installed in the frame, handed strikes can be ordered. Security Head screws are an option for this kit.
Lever Sets
A lever set kit provides the inside lever assembly (with set screw) and outside lever assembly (with spindle attached). Thick Door and Tactile Lever options are available for this kit.
Faceplate Kits
The Face Plate kit includes a finished faceplate and the appropriate screws. Security Head screws are an option for this kit.
Replacement Spindles
As a security feature, the outside spindle on the 40H is designed to twist off during abuse before any internal damage to the lock occurs. The Replacement Spindle kit is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to replace any spindles damaged by attack or abuse. This kit includes the inside and outside spindles, plus the pin to attach the outside lever.
Screw Kits
Nothing's more frustrating than spending time searching for the part number of a single screw. With the 40H Screw Kits, you don't have to worry about that anymore. These kits have been designed to provide all the necessary fasteners for one lock in a single bag. All you need to know is the trim style and finish, and you're set. Security head screws are an option for this kit.
With the introduction of the 40H mortise lock, BEST has decided to alter the mortise function letter designations to bring them in alignment with the BEST cylindrical lock functions. This way, a classroom lock will be "R" and a storeroom lock will be "D", regardless of which lock family is used.
Lead Lined Feature – The 40H mortise lock can be lead lined to protect against x-rays. Since the majority of lead lined doors contain the lead in the surface of the door, the 40H provides lead lining for the holes cut in the door when preparing the door for the trim. The two holes that are lead lined are the lever hole and the cylinder hole. (except in double cylinder or non-keyed functions). To order: designate "LL" on order procedure (page 6-7)
Security Head Screws – Security head screws. To order: designate "SH" on 45H/47H in order procedure (page 6-7).
Tactile Feature Knob/Lever – This option is for use in applications where special notice is needed to warn the blind about safety or accessibility environments. Depending on the style ordered, the knob or lever will receive either grooves or knurling as the tactile feature. To order: designate "TL" on 45H/47H knobs/levers in order procedure (page 6-7).
Visual Indicators Feature – This option adds a visual indicator for certain functions that visually reflects whether the lockset is in the locked or unlocked position. This option is available for the following functions: TD– Dormitory, IND– Intruder, INL– Intruder, L– Privacy, LT– Privacy. It is standard on the H– Hotel function.
ED 211 Mortise Cylinder Wrench – The Best mortise cylinder wrench and test handle is an essential dual-purpose tool. It is used primarily to install or remove Best mortise cylinders without marring the cylinder surface finish. The single end may be used to test the lock operation, as well as align the throw pins.
To order specify: ED 211 mortise cylinder wrench.
ED 212 Mortise Cylinder Cam Assembly Tool – Mortise cylinder cams are quickly changed with the use of this tool. Approximate length 1 3/4".
To order specify:ED 212 assembly tool.
ED 221 Mortise Cylinder Thread Repair Die – Tool for rethreading 1 5/32" diameter cylinders.
To order specify: ED 221 thread repair die.
ED 225 Hole Tap for 1 5/32" Mortise Cylinder – Tap tool used to rethread housing threads for 1E Mortise Cylinders.
To order specify: ED 225 hole tap.
KD 316 Spanner Wrench (C54466) – All "H" locksets require the use of the KD 316 spanner wrench for door mounting. This tool is include with every (10) locksets ordered. If more are needed designate quantity and KD 316 on your order.
Case: 0.095" cold rolled steel, 3 3/8" x 4 3/16" x 1" . Steel is zinc dichromate plated for corrosion protection.
Faceplate: Brass or bronze material, 5 3/8" x 1 3/16" x 7/32" .

Dean Young, professor in the Department of English, has been named the 2014 Texas State Poet Laureate by the Texas Commission on the Arts.
Recognized nationally as one of the most energetic, influential poets writing today, Young holds the William Livingston Chair of Poetry. He has published 12 books of poetry and one volume of prose on the aesthetics of poetry. Strongly influenced by the New York School poets, and Surrealists such as Andre Breton, Young's poetry is full of wild leaps of illogic, extravagant imagery and mercurial shifts in tone. Using surrealist techniques like collage, Young's poems often blur the boundaries between reality and imagination, creating a poetry that is enormously, almost disruptively, inclusive and engaging.
The Vice President for Research is seeking nominations for the University Co-operative Society Creative Research Award. Nominations can be made by deans, the Provost and each vice president to whom an organized research unit reports. Each dean or vice president may submit one nominee for consideration. Eligible are tenured and tenure-track faculty, senior lecturers and lecturers, and members of the research staff (Code 1000 personnel and postdoctoral fellows).
The award comes with a certificate and $5,000. The winner will be announced at a banquet to be hosted by the University Co-operative Society in October 2013.
The nomination deadline is May 13, 2013. For more information, see the Awards, Fellowships and Grants page on the Vice President for Research website.
This award is made possible by a generous gift from the University Co-operative Society, which has made it possible for The University of Texas at Austin to recognize and reward truly outstanding creative scholarly efforts of our faculty and research staff.
(A commentary quoted Terri Givens, an associate professor in the Department of Government, about a previous juncture of immigration legislation and terrorism.)
Terri Givens, an associate professor at The University of Texas with expertise in immigration policy and security, said that Republicans calling for delay have a strategy, and a precedent, in mind: the 9/11 attack. "9/11 took immigration reform off the agenda as everything switched to security," Givens said.
"President George W. Bush had been crafting a guest-worker program with Mexican President Vicente Fox," she said, "when 9/11 put Bush and Fox's plans on hold for five years. When Bush finally put forward his immigration plan in 2006, it died in the Senate the next year. Senators who mention the Boston bombing are simply being disingenuous," Givens added. "These senators and congressmen will be against or for the bill regardless."

The Cordilleran cyclicity model predicts that detachment of dense continental lithosphere should be accompanied by rapid uplift of an orogenic plateau and resulting rapid advance of deformation in the frontal fold-thrust belt.
In the central Andean plateau, recent isotopic studies argue for rapid surface uplift of the southern Altiplano in Bolivia between 16 and 13 million years ago, which has been attributed to removal of dense material at depth. The Cordilleran cyclicity model predicts that the Andean fold-thrust belt should have responded to this rapid uplift event through rapid eastward propagation of the deformation front.
However, accurate records of the timing and magnitude of deformation in the thrust belt in southern Bolivia are not available, which leaves this key prediction untested. In this project, we are performing a field-based study aimed at documenting the response (or lack thereof) of the Andean fold-thrust belt to the rapid rise of the hinterland plateau.

Eating the right balance of nutrients can cure imbalances, fix ailments, build muscle, raise energy levels and even improve mood. Pick and choose your favorites or add them all to your diet. Stock up on the following superfoods next time you are in the grocery store and begin feeling better today.
Dark chocolate - This treat is filled with antioxidants and can lower blood pressure. Try to find chocolate that is 60% or higher in cocoa content. The darker the chocolate is, the lower the fat and sugar content. Use in baking or snack on it alone for a delicious treat.
Tea - Hot or iced, this calorie free drink is a great replacement for sugary, high calorie beverages. All teas contain antioxidants and offer benefits, however, green tea has been shown to lower cholesterol and possibly inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Try different herbal teas to suit your mood.
Avocados - These creamy fruits are filled with good fats, fiber and protein, and may help to ward off hunger. Add slices to a sandwich or salad, blend into a shake for a smooth texture, or use them as a side dish.
Grapefruit - Add this tart fruit to your breakfast to help lower insulin levels and prevent fat storage. At 90% water grapefruits also help to fill you up and keep you hydrated. Mix slices into a salad, enjoy with other fruit, or eat alone before a meal to maintain blood sugar levels.
Hot peppers - These peppers contain capsaicinoids, which have anti-inflammatory properties, are anti-cancer and benefit the heart. Try adding to a salad, soup, salsa, or stir fry.

My research focuses on conceptual issues that arise in different areas of biological science. Much of my work has concentrated on the concepts of evolutionary innovation and novelty, which have been at the center of the research agenda articulated by many biologists situated in evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-devo). I am also interested in issues that arise in developmental biology and functional morphology. I use a combination of approaches to investigate a variety of philosophical questions: conceptual change, explanatory pluralism, the structure of evolutionary theory, reductionism, the nature of historical science, and interdisciplinary epistemology. Another area of interest concerns methodological questions, such as the role of history in philosophical research and the nature of intuitions generated by thought experiments in philosophical inquiry.

Posts Tagged 'Beautiful Wedding Photos'
Finally, we have come to and completed our last wedding of the summer/fall season, which was just as the outskirts of Sandy was about to roll in. So we still had some nice weather and some beautiful leaves. Plus, as an added bonus, everything was a one-stop shop at the Sheraton in Columbia, MD. That and the mother of the bride booked a room for us to stay there that night as well, which was totally awesome!
Since everyone was getting ready on the club level, we had to have some come and bring us up. That makes us part of the special crowd of course. I must say that the hair and make-up artists did an amazing job. I ended up taking way too many pictures of both. I neglected to get the hair stylists info (hopefully someone reading this can provide it), but the make-up artists where the ladies of Got Blush. It was a tight space, but we all managed, and they did great work.
Kat and Mike did do one thing similar to her sister's wedding a couple of years ago, which is to knock out all of the group photos before the ceremony. I still got a few afterwards as well, but the bulk of everything was done before hand, allowing them and everyone else to go straight to their cocktail and enjoy that time with their guests. This is always a much more relaxed and effective way to accomplishing the group photos, which is why I always encourage it. I'm sure Kat, and her sister Jessica, can both speak about their thoughts on having done the group photos before the ceremony instead of afterwards. I've never heard a regret yet.
I'm going to assume that Mike and Kat have a serious sweet tooth problem. I've been seeing more and more candy tables lately, but this was the first time I saw two really elaborate candy tables. Anyone there can vouch for the massive lines trying to get to the candy tables, as well as the large bags leaving them. I enjoyed a few M&M's of course. I really did enjoy the decorating though, especially the hanging candles. It was really cool.
I know everyone has their own opinions on DJ's, but this guy was great to work with. I've worked with a lot of DJ's obviously, and I would strongly add DJ Rupe to my list of referrals. He helped me with anything I needed, wouldn't do anything without making sure I was ready as well, and best of all he kept the crowd on the dance floor majority of the night. There is an art to what a DJ does, and he does it well.
I know that I have some really amazing photos to present to Kat and Mike, and I look forward to doing so soon. And if anyone hasn't visit the Photo Booth photos from that night, they should do so before the site expires. It's always worth a laugh. I love being able to do what I do for couples. By the way, if anyone from the wedding came across a silver Olympia MP3 recorder, please let me know because it came up missing and it has Kat and Mike's vows recorded on it.
Best wish Mike and Kat!
I love fall weddings. I love the beautiful weather and the colorful leaves that encompass fall. So, of course I also love fall colors. Better weather and beautiful colors. And that's what Jennifer and Chris Hall had recently, is their fall wedding.
In traditional fashion, I met with the bride and her ladies as they were all getting ready. Most guys prefer to stay away from a group of ladies getting their hair and make-up done. I find it entertaining. The expressions are the most genuine and you never know what kind of conversation you're going to accidentally walk into. This group was full of good times and little stress.
From there I headed over to the Dent Chapel in Charlotte Hall, MD for the wedding. I love that old church, even if it's really small and dark on the inside. The history and scenery around it is amazing. Everything went perfectly all the up to the kiss. Then suddenly a new first happened to me again. The minister spoke across the room to me to make sure I got a good shot of their kiss. Of course I did! I just thought it was funny and awkward at the same time. Finally, someone that recognizes that the photographer is the one in control. Lol.
From there we then headed over to the IC Hall for their reception. The great thing about the IC Hall is that I've shot there tons of times, and the couples get it for the weekend when they rent it. Other than the DJ having a minor stumble with names in the beginning, everything else worked out flawlessly (great job Amanda!). They had great food, tons of fun, and now I've got tons of great pictures. They will have fun remembering their wedding for years to come. Best wishes Jennifer and Chris!

I always love the opportunity to return to one of my favorite venues. Becky and Daniel chose to have their special wedding at Harrington Harbor, also called Herrington on the Bay. So whatever you want to call it I guess, it's an absolutely beautiful venue, and it is one of my favorite Southern Maryland wedding venues. But our day didn't start there; instead it began at Creations Salon in Dunkirk, MD.
I showed up to the salon ahead of Becky, but two of her bridesmaids were already there and in the works, so I started with them while waiting for Becky to arrive. I want to say that the staff is not only amazingly skilled, but is an extreme pleasure to work with and are very accommodating. We were constantly dodging each other and apologizing the entire time. The only real challenge was their mirrors. I would be setting up one shot while trying to stay out of the mirror, and then suddenly notice a reversed reflection of myself on the opposite side of the mirror. After a shock, and a good laugh, I then had to take a new tactic to get my mirror shots without looking like I had an evil twin coming from the other side of the mirror.
After the salon we headed off to Becky's mom's house, which sits back in an absolutely beautiful countryside surrounded by horses. Becky and her mom are very welcoming. I greatly appreciated their offering me some of the over abundance of their food, especially since I knew it was going to be many hours before my next chance to eat. But we captured some fun moments and some detail shots before I then headed over to the venue where I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited for the guys to arrive so I could get their pictures knocked out before the bride also arrived. There are always hick-ups in the best of plans, but we got a few shots right before Becky and her ladies arrived.
By the way, I love the tiny rooms they have for the bride and bridesmaids to use. They're so small that claustrophobic mice would never make their home there. But it really is a cute little room. I just throw on my trusty 14-24 lens and I'm good to go. And of course while we're in there, the rain started coming. That has been a trend I've seen a lot this season. I've had many weddings this year that almost were rained out, but then at the last possible moment the rain stopped, or held off, long enough for the couple to have their outdoor ceremony. Unfortunately it didn't hold off long enough for the group photos. I had to borrow a tall guy and an umbrella to keep my lights dry while me and my camera got soaked. Thank goodness for quality weather-tight housing in professional cameras.
Did I mention how much I love this venue? They are so full of beautiful options. I had fun stealing away the bride and groom on a few occasions for some amazing photos. All I had to do was get a good test shot, showing them the concept, and we were off at next chance. They didn't mind getting a little wet as long as it meant good pictures.
Oh yeah, I also had a few small world moments on this wedding. The minister and the DJ both I had worked with in recent weddings, but not the same. Each was from a different wedding. And while at the salon, another customer asked the name of my business. I recognized her, but couldn't remember who she was. She was the mother of a groom from a wedding I covered a few years ago. Once we made the connection, she started bragging like crazy to both the bride and her mom about how I did her son's wedding and how much she loved my work. I guess if I'm going to have that kind of a small world moment, you couldn't ask for a better scenario.
So back to Becky and Daniel. They had a beautiful day and I can't wait to finish up with their photos so I can present them to them. Plus I was excited to hear that Becky has already finished reading her side of the marriage book that Amanda and I gave them as a wedding gift, which is titled The Most Important Year. It's a great book that all couples should have and read. They are onto a great start to a lifelong successful marriage, and I really hope to continue working with them in the future as they grow their own family.

Yes, The Sushi Really Is Better In JapanFebruary 19, 2013 by Anil Polat
Before visiting the world's 5th largest island nation and discovering these 7 foods in Japan that aren't sushi, that food was practically all I knew to anticipate eating. My first experience with sushi, some 13 years ago, was the cheap supermarket variety that nearly made me vomit upon contact with my tongue – mostly because I didn't expect "raw" fish to mean actually uncooked seafood. Since that time I've come to try higher quality sushi in several countries that weren't named Japan, yet wondered, as many of you have, is sushi better in Japan than elsewhere?
I waited a few days before stumbling into Uogashi Nihon-Ichi in the Jimbocho area of Tokyo, a part of town known for its independent and original eateries of all sorts. With no common language between us aside from sushi, I pointed shyly to a simple sashimi sitting in front of me – and the itamae handled the rest. Sushi is serious business in Japan, both literally (over 100 billion dollars worth annually) and culturally, when you begin the generally quick 15-minute meal. The itamae (another term for sushi chef) guides your selection of rolls based on your previous orders to give you the ideal gustatory sensation. Some rolls are held in hand by the itamae to bring them to body temperature prior to serving, while others should be eaten at milder room temperature.
Soy sauce is your option with spicy wasabi typically placed in each roll or between the rice and fish by your itamae server. The secret to the superior taste of Japanese sushi is in the quality of its ingredients. For example, Uogashi Nihon-Ichi gets their fish daily from two markets (the famous Tsukiji and Ota) with agreements to make early bids for a higher quality catch. Aside from the fish, rice, and other ingredients, there's something to be said for the personal care devoted to the culinary experience throughout the thousands of sushi restaurants in Japan.
To see a detailed look at sushi passion in one special Tokyo restaurant, I highly recommend you watch the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. I did my best to visit the famous Sukiyabashi Jiro, but unfortunately reservations had to be made more than a month in advance when I tried to make (my usual) last-minute arrangements.

Just returned from Japan. Japan is the best in sushi making. It's hard to come close to authentic Japanese cuisine in the United States. I went to some restaurant in the Narita airport and their sushi was excellent.
Yes, I too had the same experience you described on my initial taste of cheap supermarket sushi. Thanks to your description here and the entertaining video, I'm looking forward to trying sushi in Japan. Thanks for the post!
awesome post, anil. i loved japan and the food had a huge part to do with it – so many unforgettable experiences. and i really enjoyed that jiro documentary, although we never had the chance to check out his restaurant. next time! 🙂
Of course! This is precisely the reason why I am so hesitant to eat sushi (and patronize other Japanese restaurants) outside Japan, because I have lived there for 5 years and know what good Japanese food is about. It simply is so hard to replicate, and there are more times I was disappointed than not. I have this idea that proximity to the ocean is a big criterion; when I was in Buffalo, I found no Japanese restaurants able to match, and only when I was in Boston did I stumble upon one that was close to the Japanese standard I now miss quite a bit.
