Today we are excited to share thoughts on your first dance, I know when I was planning our big day we debated over a million songs over and over again… in the end, we chose something a little unique but perfect for us. Paul Kloiber, the owner of Source 1 DJ Services gives advice on how to find the perfect song to set the mood for your evening and your future as a duo… and trust me, in his 20 years he has heard it all…
xoxo, j
Your first dance as husband and wife. One of the most important choices you will make for your wedding reception. What song to choose is a question that brides and grooms have debated, argued and even fought over for ages. There are literally thousands of songs to choose from and picking that special one is sometimes a daunting task. Your first dance will set the tone for the whole night, the words and the melody will say to your guests all that hearts say to each other. In my thirty three years as a DJ I have seen first dances ranging from quiet and romantic to wild and crazy.
As a DJ I am often asked for suggestions of songs for various dances at a wedding reception. The father/daughter dance, the mother/son, songs for the garter, bouquet and generations dance. However, the one song that I cannot give suggestions for is the first dance. Many times I have sat down with a bride in groom in preparation for their wedding and they have looked at me and simply said "we don't know". All I can do is tell them the three things that I am telling you.
1) Choose a song that has special meaning to you. It doesn't matter if it is popular, obscure or in a foreign language, as long as the song has some connection to your love for each other. Maybe it was the first slow song you ever danced to. Maybe the song that was on the radio on your first date. Perhaps it was even the song that was playing when the groom proposed. No matter what, it has to be a song of significance for both the bride and groom.
2) Put your stamp on it. If you are the wild adventurous type, choose a song that shows that. Are you a movie buff? Pick a movie theme song and duplicate the dance, The Twist contest from Pulp Fiction, the Tango from Scent of a Woman, or even the final dance from Dirty Dancing. Show your guests a glimpse of how the night is going to go. Make it fun, but make it special.
3) Remember that this is not only your wedding reception but it is also your first dinner that you are hosting as husband and wife. Respect each other and respect your guests by choosing an appropriate song. Don't pick a bump and grind song or something that has inappropriate or vulgar lyrics. Trust me, the last thing your parents or grandparents want is to see you grinding on the dance floor or to hear dirty lyrics as they watch. You're the hosts so you set the standards.
These three simple things can make your first dance a lifetime memory that both of you as well as your families will cherish. So pick your song, hold each other and dance like nobody is watching.
i giggled to myself over these unique + interesting choices that some couples chose – proof you can step outside of the box if you so choose…
1) Jack Johnson – Better Together/mixed into the Twist from Pulp Fiction
2) Jimmy Buffet – We Don't We Get Drunk
3) Death Cab for Cutie – Passenger Seat
4) Metallica – Nothing Else Matters
5) Billy Vera & The Beaters – At This Moment
6) Righteous Brothers – You've Lost That Loving Feeling
7) Minnie Ripperton – Loving You
8) Morris Albert – Feelings
9) Meat Loaf – Paradise By The Dashboard Light
10) Social Distortion – Ball & Chain

Sound: Little Red is a small band out of Melbourne that have been hailed as The Strokes meet The Beach Boys, and they do it with their electrifying sounds and just the unity in the band. Midnight Remember is their second album and it's rather amazing.
Their sound is reminiscent of The Beatles yet is much punchier and it's a little more danceable.
The lead single from this album is a light hearted song called "Rock It" which has been flying around Australian Airwaves for quite a fair bit now, the bass line and Adrian's singing contribute to a fun and enjoyable song.
As "Midnight Remember" keeps going through it's sequence of songs "Place Called Love" "Lazy Boy" and "Little Bit Of Something" their sound diversifies. Bringing back memories of The Beatles, Springsteen whilst still adding their signature Garage sound. // 8
Lyrics: Their lyrical ability has developed from their last album "Listen To Little Red" and the lyrics are all very relevant to the feel of each song. Though not as complex or as impacting as Coheed And Cambria or Jason Mraz, their feel on the album is something they bring live.
The whole band sings melodies and harmonies so if anything the clear distinction is when you can't tell that Quang sings on "Lazy Boy" and Adrian sings "Rock It" because their vocal qualities are so similar, where as on songs like "Going Wrong" and "Place Called Love" you can hear Tom's distinctly Australian vocals coming through quite well, though it takes a little bit of time to get used to his voice, he does satisfy. // 7
Overall Impression: Currently I listen to this album in conjunction with Phoenix, Tahiti 80, The Strokes and Vampire Weekend. There's something about the entire band singing that just makes you want to sing along with it.
Though "Rock It" is oversaturating the airwaves at the current moment, I probably won't get tired of this anytime soon. Though there's always the under-appreciated last song "Chelsworth" which is just a beautiful end to a new beginning in Australian Music. // 8

Interview with Lee Krasner
Conducted by Doloris Holmes
The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Lee Krasner in 1972. The was conducted by Doloris Holmes for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
DOLORIS HOLMES This is Doloris Holmes interviewing for the Archives of American Art. We are documenting the Protest Art Movement of the 1970's. This evening I am interviewing Lee Krasner. Lee, in front of me I have an issue of Art in America which appeared in August 1965. There is a series prepared by the Archives of American Art. One in particular has to do with the general abstract expressionist movement. I note with interest that about seventy-three artists are mentioned in this article, only four of which are women. Marisol is mentioned, Hedda Sterne, Alice Mason, and Louise Nevelson. If you were to rewrite this article, what are the names of some of the female artists working around that time that you would include?
LEE KRASNER Well, let me say I'd like to throw out a few manes of female artists dating possibly from the late 1935 to the mid-1940s, or a little later if you like. That is to say, women artists that I was aware of: Loren MacIver, I. Rice Pereira, Louise Bourgeois, Jeanne Reynal, Anne Ryan, Sonia Sekula, Louise Nevelson, Alice Mason, Peter (Gertrude) Greene, Susie Frelinghuysen, Leonor Fini, Dorothea Tanning, Vieira de Silva, Barbara Hepworth, and lastly but hardly least, Miss Georgia O'Keeffe. Now I know when you restrict it to abstract expressionism, some of these names would have to be removed.
DOLORIS HOLMES But these are women who are consistently working of a caliber that you would certainly consider professional artists. Can you tell me whether you feel that these typical women have gotten enough recognition for their work? Do you have any sense as to whether there was discrimination against them as female artists?
LEE KRASNER That's a difficult question. Certainly some of the names I've read off to you have gotten recognition. Others I daresay haven't. Now as to what they experienced in terms of discrimination I'm not prepared to say; I can only speak for myself and my own experience.
DOLORIS HOLMES I also notice in the same article mention of at least two different groups which involved abstract expressionist artists. One was the Eighth Street Art Club, apparently a group that got together to discuss issues, and another group was organized around a particular issue and picketed in front of the Metropolitan Museum. Were you asked to be a member of either one of these groups? Or can you mention other groups that you were, or were not, invited to become a member of?
LEE KRASNER I was certainly asked to become a member of the Eighth Street Club; that's one of the groups that you mentioned. But I never became a part of it. I guess for one thing, living out here (East Hampton) would have made that very difficult; it was all year around living out here. And also because I'm a little uncomfortable about any kind of groups or clubs. I tend not to like to join. Nevertheless I've been in a few. With regard to "The Irascible Eighteen", that was never a group so to speak. The issue was a specific issue at the Metropolitan. There was an organized protest. Since Jackson (Pollock) and I were out here, all I can say about that is that the phone rang one day, I picked it up, Barney Newman was at the other end. He said that he wanted to speak to Jackson and that it was important. I got Jackson to the phone. Jackson told me what the phone call was about. But I wasn't asked to become part of it My sympathies were certainly there. But since I wasn't asked to become part of it I don't appear as one of "The Irascible Eighteen".
DOLORIS HOLMES How about your relationships, artistic and personal, to the men who were involved in this general abstract expressionist movement? Generally in some of the women's groups that I belong to it has been said that men really do exclude women from getting information about where you can show, about, getting names of curators to whom you can send your slides, about getting material concerning supplies, and so forth. Have you had any experiences similar to this?
LEE KRASNER I'm trying to pinpoint your question; it's a little difficult for me to grasp it. I haven't experienced it in the sense that the secrets are kept within the confines of the male domain. Since I lived here with Jackson for many years, and since that was more or less one of the centers of this movement, all that sort of information was available to me. I didn't have to pry into corners to get at what was happening.
DOLORIS HOLMES All right. Well, let's be more specific then. Do you feel that male artists were helpful to you in getting you into shows?
LEE KRASNER Well now, that's more reasonable. Yes, there were male artists that were helpful in getting me into shows, and there were male artists that I don't feel were helpful. For instance, John Graham was very helpful in getting me into an exhibition of French and American Painting, this is in 1941. As a matter of fact, that's how I meet Pollock; he's invited to the same show. There was Pollock himself who asked Betty Parsons to come and look at my work with regard to showing me. And indeed she did come and did schedule a show for me in 1951. On the other hand, someone like Hans Hofmann, who was one of the only instructors I had ever had in all as against former teachers at the Academy and Cooper Union. I can remember very clearly his criticism one day when he came in and said about the painting up in front of him, "This is so good you would not believe it was done by a woman." Well, that's pretty difficult to understand.
DOLORIS HOLMES It's a kind of a mixed compliment, in other words?
LEE KRASNER Well, yes. You know, you get a cold shower before you've had a chance to receive the warmth of the compliment.
DOLORIS HOLMES I remember before when we talked on another occasion you did tell me something about a long series of discussions that you had with Barnett Newman. This I believe had something to do with a Synagogue that he was making. This was an interesting story.
LEE KRASNER Indeed I think it's an interesting story. Barnett Newman and I had a long running battle which was never resolved since Barnett died last year. The argument or battle that we had going for some ten or twelve years was on my rejection of the position of the female in Judea. This he would not accept. His point of view was that I misunderstood it; mine was that I understood it too clearly and rejected it. And so from time to time we picked up the argument. It ran through a period of years. One day at a very large party, which was quite a traumatic party for me in many respects, in between one thing I had just gotten through with and before I hit the next thing, Barney appeared from some place and said, "Lee, have you seen my Synagogue?" I said, "Where is your Synagogue?," He said, "It's at the Jewish Museum." I said, "No, I haven't seen it. Why do you want me to see it?" He said, "It'll resolve that argument we've been having all these years." And I said, "In what sense?" He said, "You will approve of where I placed the women in the synagogue. It will end the argument." And I said, "Where did you place the women, Barney?" And he said, "On the altar." Whereupon I - well - used no uncertain terms about how I felt about it and said, "You sit up on the altar; I just want the next empty seat in the next pew that's vacant."
DOLORIS HOLMES Beautiful: That's a beautiful story. To go on to speak about other members of the abstract expressionist movement, certainly one of the leaders has been Willem de Kooning. My own personal reaction to his work is that there is indeed an undercurrent of anti-feminism in it. I cannot analyze with any authority why he chose to do the series on women but it is my sense, partly as a former psychiatric social worker, that Freudianism and the abstract expressionism movement reinforced a general antifeminism in the culture. Do you have anything in particular to say about de Kooning as an artist and about his series on women in particular?
LEE KRASNER Well, with regard to de Kooning, certainly he is one of the leading forces in this movement. With regard to his series on women, I reject them one hundred percent; I find them offensive in every possible sense; they offend every aspect of me as a woman, as a female.
DOLORIS HOLMES Explain that a little bit more.
LEE KRASNER On the other hand, when you introduce the Freudian aspect in abstract expressionism I must say I haven't thought of it in those terms. I must give it a little more thought. Now when you speak of a kind of chauvinism, or domination of the male there, certainly I've had many such experiences. Whether we're discussing de Kooning's series on women, or whether it's the authoritarian or autocratic image of, let's say, Rothko or Newman all of which I can see that you might read as the Freudian aspect, so to speak - I would have to sit with this a while longer to come to some conclusion of my own. On the other hand, you must keep in mind that the seat of contemporary painting was the Paris School, and here in New York was a body of people that were - now we can safely say - crashing through that, so that I'm not sure at this point whether it was entirely a male Freudian aspect (unless you want to take all of civilization as we have known it, all of Western thought, and speak of it in those terms), it would be difficult for me to pinpoint quickly this particular, epoch, this period, this movement in history.
DOLORIS HOLMES So what you're saying is you don't think that the abstract expressionist movement was any more anti-feminine than any other prior group? - is that what you're saying? I remember the last time we talked you did bring up the whole question of the Jewish Prayer, for example. Is that the kind of thing that you're saying?
LEE KRASNER I'm speaking of all of Western civilization. A while back I spoke about my argument on the role of the female in Judea. Now, my own shattering experience in relation to this is that I was raised in an orthodox Jewish home and said a morning prayer every morning, only I said it in Hebrew, it was taught to me in Hebrew and I never knew the meaning; unfortunately only some thirty years later I read a translation of the Prayer, which is indeed a beautiful prayer in every sense except for the closing of it; it said, if you are a male you say, "Thank You, O Lord, for creating me in Your image"; and if you are a woman you say, "Thank You, O Lord, for creating me as You saw fit". And this is when I had started long running battle with Barney Newman on the rejection of the female role in Judea, not to mention in Christianity which follows.
DOLORIS HOLMES Fine: I don't understand, however, what you mean when you say that you were upset by the women series that de Kooning did. Were you upset on a purely aesthetic basis?
LEE KRASNER It's very difficult for me to separate content and aesthetic bases. To me if they don't become one, it's a rejection of the painting. So that I am incapable of, or refuse to allow that aspect of myself to start to break down that I accept it aesthetically and reject content. To me that series is offensive in very possible sense.
DOLORIS HOLMES Then I must respond by saying that the aspect of the "Women" series that offends me is simply how distorted de Kooning made so many of the female images. I don't think that the images were necessarily representative only of women; I think they may have represented other psychological phenomena. For example, in this culture the male must be overly aggressive in order to be male, and when the man in this culture rejects women he's also rejecting his own passivity, his own desire to rest, to meditate. It seems to me that unknowingly perhaps, or even knowingly, de Kooning was distorting the female figure because of his own personal problems about these kinds of concerns in his own life. Do you have anything to add to that?
LEE KRASNER No. No more than whether the female as he projects it there is the outside female or whether it's the female within himself makes no difference to me at all. It's the hatred and hostility toward the female; whether it be within himself or be really the outside female doesn't change my attitude toward what I'm confronted with.
DOLORIS HOLMES I've been involved with a number of women's groups over the past three years. One of the issues that always gets discussed is the influence that the woman involved with the male artist, what influence that woman has had on his work. Can you tell me what kind of influence you feel that you've had on Jackson Pollock's work?
LEE KRASNER That's a loaded question. I pride myself on my objectivity but here I don't think I'd be objective enough to know. Unfortunately when two people live closely together as Jackson and I did we affect each other and we must have in many areas. With regard to his painting I daresay that the only possible- influence that I might have had was to bring to Pollock an awareness of Matisse.
DOLORIS HOLMES What do you mean by "an awareness of Matisse?" Are you talking about shapes? About movement of figures? Colors?
LEE KRASNER No. It wouldn't have happened that way because we had little talk about art in these terms in the whole period I lived with him. But my enthusiasm and my feeling about Matisse, which I certainly would express often, could possibly have moved him a little in that direction.
DOLORIS HOLMES Now I know from my knowledge of Jackson that of course he did go through different: periods. One influence that any woman has on her. husband or her lover is to encourage or discourage various activities which he may be involved with. To be more specific, do you remember when he began to do the drip painting? Were you around at that time? Did you express approval of it? Did you share his enthusiasm?
LEE KRASNER Yes, I was around at the time and indeed I did express my enthusiasm. And I think he very much appreciated that enthusiasm. Because if you remember the time at which this so-called drip painting came about it was way out on a limb at that point and I think he welcomed my enthusiastic response. Your question was "How long was he active as an artist?" Well, I don't know the date, maybe it's 1947 or 1948 is the first of the so-called drip- I can't remember. But the fact is he had his first solo show in 19__ and he showed every year thereafter. So it was a matter of a few years and these were coming in as, you know, shockers, one show following the other. I didn't mean here that the reaction to the so-called drip paintings was greater than, let's say, the impact of the first, second, or third shows.
DOLORIS HOLMES Let's get into another way in which I feel you probably were helpful to him. You said that you were enthusiastic about his work. Did you introduce him to people in the art world?
LEE KRASNER Indeed I did. When I met Pollock and responded to his work the way I did, which was, as I said, very enthusiastic, I certainly brought people in that I knew to see his work. Through Herbert and Mercedes Matter, who were close friends of mine at the time we got Sandy Calder in to see his work, we got James Johnson Sweeney in to see his work; I got Hofmann over to see his work; and just about anyone I knew that I felt would understand or appreciate the work.
DOLORIS HOLMES This is certainly the kind of influence that a lot of women have had and have been very instrumental in helping their husbands or their lovers which has not received any recognition, and I'm very glad that you have mentioned these things. Another question that I want to, get into is the question as to what it has been like for you to be a woman artist? For example, you mentioned before that as a student Hans Hofmann gave you a very mixed kind of compliment. Do you feel that it has been a disadvantage for you to be a female artist?
LEE KRASNER Again that's a rough question. Let me put it this way: it hasn't been easy going. But I'm still not clear as I'm speaking to you now whether it has been because I'm a woman artist or because I am Mrs. Jackson Pollock so that I feel in that sense it's more than what's known as a double load. That is to say, if I were Lee Krasner but had never married Jackson Pollock would I have had the same experience I have being Mrs. Jackson Pollock?
DOLORIS HOLMES I sense that you feel confused, first of all, and secondly that in a sense there were certain advantages to being married to Jackson Pollock. On the other hand, the fact that you weren't operating as an individual always left you with a question as to whether you were being judged as an individual or as the wife of Jackson Pollock. You did, however, mention about the fact that you were never, given a retrospective in this country. Now this seems very unusual to me since you have been so intensively involved with the movement for so long.
LEE KRASNER That's true. I haven't been offered a retrospective here in this country. But I was offered one in England which I accepted and was very happy to be able to see a large span of work. This is terribly important for the painter, I think, because it's the only occasion on which you can see a real period of work before you. Now why I wasn't offered one I would say is a combination of the fact - or maybe I'd have to say principally because I am Mrs. Jackson Pollock. You've got to remember that Pollock is dead now since 1956 and that I am the executor of his estate. Consequently I behaved with the paintings as I saw fit. I stepped on a lot of toes. And I think even today it's difficult for people to see me, or to speak to me, or observe my work, and not -connect it with Pollock. They cannot free themselves. So this may be one of the reasons I've not been offered a show. I wouldn't know if there are others.

The Mandate
Open your mouth for the speechless. In the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy." (NKJV)
The Message Bible puts it simply:
"Speak up for the people who have no voice, for the rights of all the down-and-outers. Speak out for justice! Stand up for the poor and destitute!"
~Proverbs 31: 8&9
The Promise: You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. ~Phillipians 4:13~
In Destined for Greatness, author Dale C. Broome draws from her criminal justice education and prior job experiences, her observations working in the court system, and her own struggles and shortcomings as a society-labeled "single parent" to minority teenage boys. She has whipped these ingredients together with Divine revelations and the God-given promises anchored in God's Holy Word to offer some Godly tools in the form of hope and encouragement to those filled with hopelessness and despair—primarily the youth!
As a voice for the voiceless, she warns parents, those in authority—including judges, and all those who come in contact with young people to start seeing these young people through the lenses of God, for often they are not as they appear! Stop tearing them down with venomous words; instead, use this energy to build them up. They have been made in God's image; they are fearfully and wonderfully made. According to Philippians 4:13, they can do all things through Christ who strengthens them. There is, indeed, greatness within them!

By: Cheryl Yeatts
For: Red Rock News
Date: September 13, 2013
I recently celebrated my three-year anniversary as Manager of Sedona Public Library in the Village. One of the benefits of working or volunteering at the Library is being surrounded by books. Many of us leave the Library with more books than we can possibly read. In addition, we usually have books waiting for us on the hold shelves. So it's not surprising that I have witnessed individuals in a state of panic when they don't have a book in hand.
Book lovers are eager to share books and to recommend their favorite authors. As a result, I have expanded my reading interests. I now read books that I would not have picked up before I worked at the Library. For example, I just finished reading "Grand Ambition" by Lisa Michaels. I had to read this book to prepare for a book discussion. While the book is classified as a historical novel, it is based on the real-life story of newlyweds Glen and Bessie Hyde.
The events that inspired the book are summarized in this excerpt from the author, Lisa Michaels: "In November 1928, one year after Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic, a pair of newlyweds set out to run the rapids of the Grand Canyon in a homemade boat. Swept up by America's obsession with feats of daring, Glen and Bessie Hyde hoped to set a record—she would be the first woman to run that treacherous stretch of the Colorado River. A month later they vanished without a trace."
I have to admit that it took me several pages to get into the story; however, I soon had a difficult time putting the book down. I couldn't wait to find out why and how the Hydes simply disappeared. I gained respect for Bessie Hyde in her quest to become the first woman to navigate the Grand Canyon. She was a woman ahead of her time—a woman who did not live to tell her story. I will never visit the Grand Canyon again without thinking of Bessie Hyde.
If you missed the community book discussion of "Grand Ambition" at Sedona Winds, you can check out a copy from the Library. In fact, Sedona Public Library boasts outstanding resources about Arizona, located in the Arizona Collection. You can also borrow books written by Sedona authors and check out movies that were filmed in Sedona.
I look forward to reading more about Glen and Bessie Hyde in the nonfiction book entitled "Sunk without a Sound: The Tragic Colorado River Honeymoon of Glen and Bessie Hyde" by Brad Dimock. The author, a graduate of Prescott College and a commercial boatman, searched the country for the true story of the Hydes. He followed each story and obscure lead to its end, even going to the extreme of recreating the Hydes' archaic craft for a harrowing trip through the Grand Canyon with his own bride, Jeri Ledbetter. The book includes photographs and maps.
Sedona Public Library is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, supported by donations and grants. Your tax-deductible donation may be sent to: Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road, Sedona, AZ 86336. Thank you for your continuing support of free library services in the Village of Oak Creek.

Heroin dealer sent to prison
A Marietta man who has already spent time in prison in Ohio and West Virginia was sentenced Monday in Washington County Common Pleas Court to 15 more months in prison for selling heroin.
Kyle L. Sparks, 24, of 830 Ridge St., was sentenced on two fifth-degree and one fourth-degree felony count of trafficking in drugs for a trio of heroin deals that took place with a confidential informant in January.
The first drug deal, on Jan. 18, did not involve an exchange of cash, but was apparently an attempt to settle an old debt, explained Washington County Prosecutor Jim Schneider.
"The informant came to officers and said '(Sparks) just gave me two does of heroin because he owed me money, but he has more. Do you want me to go get more?' said Schneider.
The informant bought more heroin from Sparks on that same day and then bought 10 unit doses from Sparks on Jan. 22, an amount which elevated the final sale to a higher degree felony.
Sparks had originally been indicted on two fourth-degree and one third-degree felony counts of drug trafficking because the sales had occurred within 1,000 feet of Marietta Middle School, another elevating factor. However, that specification was dropped as part of the plea agreement, said Schneider.
Sparks was ultimately arrested Jan. 23 after a search warrant was executed at his home. A small quantity of heroin was found hidden in a heating duct resulting in a fifth-degree felony count of drug possession, which was also later dropped as part of the plea.
Sparks made a brief apologetic statement to the court prior to sentencing.
"I messed up. I made a mistake. It won't happen again," he said.
Sparks previously spent a year in prison in West Virginia on a charge of conspiracy to commit breaking and entering and a year in prison in Ohio on a drug trafficking charge, said Schneider. He was on parole when arrested in January.
Washington County Common Pleas Court Judge Randall Burnworth sentenced Sparks according to an agreed disposition. Sparks was ordered to serve 11 months in prison on each of the fifth-degree felony charges and 15 months in prison on the fourth-degree felony charge, all to run concurrently.
He was also ordered to pay $700 restitution to the Major Crimes Task Force, part of which was to be taken from money found on Sparks' person during the search of his home, said Schneider.
Officers recovered $358 during the search, $160 of which was money from the previous day's drug buy. That $160 would automatically be put toward restitution. However, it was up to the court whether the remaining $198 be put toward restitution, court costs, or returned to Sparks.
Washington County Public Defender Ray Smith, who was filling in for Sparks' regular attorney, relayed Sparks request that the money be given to Sparks' girlfriend to help with bills.
"Since it's not the proceeds of criminal activity, we'd ask it be released to her," said Smith.
Burnworth agreed to have the $198 released to the woman.

Banc de Swiss is a younger broker from Switzerland and Germany with a rapidly growing customer base. With their SpotOption platform it's possible to offer a fast trading experience with plenty of assets and a wide variety of options like touch- or 60 seconds options. The minimum deposit is only $100 and the minimum option size only $5. This makes it one of the best binary options brokers for novice traders.
Click here to take a closer look at this excellent broker now!
Binary Options at Banc de Swiss
There must be good reasons why this broker has become so large within a very short period of time. In 2012 it became the market leader in all German speaking countries and is now also growing in other European countries like Italy and also world wide. Options trading at Banc de Swiss is very easy and everybody can execute trades within a matter of seconds. The platform is Browser based and you can access it through their website.
You can trade with high/low, touch and 60 seconds options at Banc de Swiss. You can also use the options builder to create your very own options. With this great tool you can choose your preferred asset, expiry date and level of risk.
There are dozens of different assets like Forex, commodities, stocks and indices. The focus is more or less European but that does not mean that you can't trade US stocks. Indeed you will find plenty of those.
Trading Platform
The Banc de Swiss trading platform was created by SpotOption. Chances are that they are working on their very own trading platform. This would make things interesting and is something only very few other brokers like OptionFair and Anyoption can offer.
Banc de Swiss was founded in 2011 in Germany, Frankfurt. The company headquarter is based in Cyprus (Keplero Ltd.) but they have branches in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They now add more and more languages: English, Italian and Swedish are one of those.
Trading Features and Payout Ratios
The payouts at Banc de Swiss are average. They are not the worst in the industry but also not the very best. I'd say that they are maybe slightly better than average but even as VIP trader you won't get 89% and similar payouts like it's the case with OptionFair. Generally speaking, the payouts for currencies at Banc de Swiss are pretty good, especially for EUR USD.
Mobile Trading
Banc de Swiss is currently working on their very own apps but it will take a few months more until they'll be available. If you visit the current Banc de Swiss website with your iPhone or any other smartphone you will see that it's not optimized for mobile use at the moment. So in terms of mobile traders you can say that Banc de Swiss lacks a solid mobile trading platform. But it'll be interesting to see what they are working on.
Deposit and Withdraw
Depositing money at Banc de Swiss is a very simple task. Several payment options are available: credit cards (Visa and Mastercard), wire transfer and Skrill (Moneybookers). They plan to add some more payment options in the near future.
The minimum to fund your account is $100 and the minimum option size is $5. This is very low compared to other brokers except for Banc de Binary where you can buy options for $1 already. The minimum to fund your account is $250 though.
Customer support
The customer support at Banc de Swiss is one of their strengths – at least for German speaking option traders. You can contact them through e-mail, live chat, phone or Skype. We suggest email contact for inquiries with average importance and Skype for emergencies.
There are very good reasons why it was possible for Banc de Swiss to grow that fast. Most important is their approach that customers are key. Trading binary options is a pretty simple task but especially newbies need help and that's where the Banc de Swiss helps. You can always get in touch with them and their platforms are very easy to use. They offer all major option types like 60 seconds options and their famous option builder. This review shows also that it's one of the best places for newbies thanks to the very low minimum deposit and minimum option size. This makes it a great investment opportunity for traders that are new to binary options and that's why we can fully recommend Banc de Swiss.

Sucker Punch Serves Up More inFamous With Festival Of Blood
Posted by Sammy Barker
If you didn't get enough super-charged Cole McGrath earlier in the year with inFamous 2, then Sucker Punch has got a treat for you
Designed to tie-in with the Hallowe'en season, inFamous: Festival Of Blood sees the electric-powered protagonist bitten by a Vampire when New Marais is invaded by the toothy foes.
The game's out in North America today for $7.99 and Europe tomorrow. If you're planning on picking the game up though, be prepared to set aside time for a big download. The standalone PSN title will suck up almost 4GB of your PS3's hard-drive.
Catch the launch trailer after the jump.
