In 1947 Angeloni brothers built the A.L.A. Company, Angeloni Agricultural Processings, placed in Villastrada di Cingoli (Macerata). They made repairs and constructions of agricultural equipments, just after one year they returned to the original village, Montecarotto (Ancona).
Here, the real story of Angeloni brothers & C. starts, they passed from agricultural equipments repairs to the appliances of modifications on threshing machines, more and more considerable ones until to reach the construction and plan of agricultural machines technically advanced and up-to-dated.

If music were food, my favorite restaurant would be in Austin, Texas. And one of my very favorite chefs would be Bob Schneider. Bob is an incredible musician and songwriter, and he's been consistently serving up some mighty tasty morsels for a while now. His latest offering, King Kong, is no exception.
Who's Bob?
I've loved Bob since I discovered him through the work of bassist Bruce Hughes – they've been playing off and on together for years. Once I heard Bob, I was hooked. Everyone always asks me, "what kind of music does he play?" I'm never quite sure how to answer. Austin Rock? Acoustic Funk? Alternative Ass Stompin'? Texas Reggae? Tough question. He's so prolific that his style is hard to categorize. I simply shrug and say "it's just damn good is all."
I've been lucky enough to see him play live quite a few times – in Tulsa, Dallas, Austin, Luckenbach, Gruene… I've gotten to see him with his full band, I've seen him solo, and I've seen him with Lonelyland at the Saxon Pub. Bob tours a lot – if you EVER have the chance to see him, do it. Just – do it. Whatever iteration you see, you won't be sorry.
The New Record/s.
I follow Bob on the FaceBooks, and last fall I saw a post inviting me to invest in his next recording project, King Kong. By signing up on PledgeMusic, I could pre-order an autographed copy of the CD when it came out, and by doing so, provide Bob with money to help record the album. Sign me up, that's something I can get behind. Win-win!
There are, as of this writing, still several autographed CDs available over at PledgeMusic, and you can download the full album there, too. He's also released ten songs from the record as two EPs, available on Amazon. I'm not sure why he did this – maybe someday if I ever get to meet him or interview him, I'll ask… but for the purposes of this article I'm referring to the full 15 song album. Since this is a large, filling meal, I've broken it down by course, highlighting a few songs from each one. So pull up a chair, tuck your napkin in under your chin, and grab your fork and knife.
Welcome to Chez Bob
The record starts off with "Han Solo," a great appetizer, informing you that the music to follow is going to be one tasty meal. It's a welcoming song, inviting you to sit down and join him at the table. It's so quintessential Bob, with those clever words and that friendly melody. "I'm your Chewbacca, you're my Han Solo…" He's letting you know, it's going to be just the two of you dining together tonight.
First Course: Keep it Light
The first course consists of "Stars Over Your House," "Fools," and "Dirty Feeling," all of which have just the right amount of tangy seasoning. Apparently "Stars Over Your House" is getting some national radio play, and rightfully so. It's very accessible and very, very catchy. And happy. That's two optimistic songs in a row! Is Bob getting soft in his old age? Nope. He might be mellowing out a bit but he's still got some bite.
"Fools" is one of my favorite songs on the record. At first it sounds as if he's dishing out some criticism against his fellow humans – fools are everywhere you turn! Working on a trailer for a movie, opening convenience stores… "there on the ocean, drink in their hand, and a smile… on their shoulder, the weight of the world…" But at the very end of the song, he admits to being a fool, too. A surprise twist, and easy to miss if you don't listen closely. Thank you Bob, for putting it all in the proper perspective and serving up some humble pie – in a happily snarky sort of way.
Bob Brings the Heat.
The second course of the meal gets a little spicier. Up till now we've heard some nice, vegetarian music. But "Ventilation" puts some meat on the table, and I'm all in. I might be biased here, but one of the very best things about this song is the bass. Yes I have a predisposition towards deliciously awesome bass, but even the most casual of King Kong diners will admit there's some super tasty little bites in this song. Hoo! Spicy! On multiple occasions, I've cranked this one up in the car and hit repeat. The chorus is addictive, and also sets a steamy tone. I don't usually care for spicy all that much, but when it comes to a meal like this one, I'll take a double-helping please.
We then head into "Cheaper" – another delicious serving of hot and spicy lyrics and music. This is a slick song with the lyrics flowing so smoothly from start to end, punctuated by some expressive bass, catchy guitar, and a bit of oh-so-smooth percussion. Happiness is free, y'all. Or at least cheaper than we make it out to be.
Are You Doing OK?
Here we take a little break. "Magic Wand," "Into the Sun," and the title track "King Kong" serve as palette cleansers – the first a somber piece, the second, a foot-stompin heap o' positive that loosens you up for the rest of the record, and the third, a seemingly mellow song except for when you listen to the lyrics in which he admits someone has put his "heart in a thong, and that ain't cool"…
You Can't Stop Now!
The third course is pretty heavy, so hopefully you've saved some room for the serious stuff. "Black Mountain," "Montgomery" and "The Unknown" are a little darker.
"Black Mountain" is not for the weak-stomached listener – you are gonna feel this one, it's heavy (that Hammond organ!), but you will like it oh so much. Go slowly. "Montgomery" is haunting, dark, and the guitar is nothing short of magical. Then comes "The Unknown" – a reggae / rock tune, in which Bob admits he doesn't like to dine alone…
Sweet and…
Now we get to dessert. Do you still have room? Of course you do! Here Bob serves up the perfect end to this perfect meal. "You Be Alright" is one of the sweetest songs ever – at first I feared for my blood sugar levels but it's actually just perfect. "You May Want to Take Some Time" is a little more somber but at the end of the meal things are mellowing out… or so you think. "Ready Let's Roll" is the after dinner drink – instead of going for something sweet, we finish the whole thing off with a glass of smooth, expensive scotch.
Let's Roll?
Then it's over, the music stops. You sit for a minute hoping that Bob will now invite you out to see a cool band somewhere, or cruise Austin to people-watch. But when you look up, you realize Bob has gone – home to his family to paint works of art, write poetry, and plan his next tour. At least you can always press "play" again. Damn, that was good.

That was the result of a recently completed wargame exploring the fallout from a preemptive military strike against Iran by Israel, according to reports in The New York Times.
The classified wargame, dubbed Internal Look, played out the Iranian scenario to devastating results.
According to the two-week exercise conducted by Central Command, the United States would probably be drawn into a war with Iran via a Gulf of Tonkin-like attack on an American warship somewhere in the Persian Gulf, U.S. officials told the Times.
The attack would likely end with the sinking of the U.S. vessel and the death of more than 200 sailors, under the hypothetical scenario, and trigger a U.S. counterstrike aimed at eliminating nuclear facilities inside Iran.
The U.S. response would likely only delay Tehran's suspected nuclear weapons program by two years, according to officials. The initial Israeli strike that would launch the conflict would push back Iran's nuclear efforts by a year.
But Pentagon strategists claim United States could strike deeper into Iran by unleashing its arsenal of long-range bombers and guided missiles. Using those weapons could push back that two-year window even further, officials say.
U.S. officials were quick to point out that the results of Internal Look were only potential outcomes. The wargame itself, they added, was not intended to mimic any scenario between Iran, Israel and the United States.
However, the timing of the wargame coincides with growing rhetoric in Washington on using military action to force Tehran to disclose details of its nuclear work.
Last week, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl LevinCarl LevinA lesson on abuse of power by Obama and his Senate allies President Trump, listen to candidate Trump and keep Volcker Rule Republicans can learn from John McCain's heroism MORE (D-Mich.) told reporters he believes an Israeli attack on Iran is "very likely."
On Tuesday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran will attack to defend itself if it is threatened by either the United States or Israel.
That same day, House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee chairman, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), said he supports building up weapons that could be used against Iran. That plan is being spearheaded by committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.).

The victim told officers he was in the middle of a transaction at a drive-up ATM at 2820 Peach Orchard Road about 5 a.m. when a man approached his vehicle with a gun demanding his money.
The 31-year-old man immediately fled in his vehicle to a nearby Sprint Store to notify police. When he returned with officers, his ATM card, which he had left in the machine, was gone, police said.

2005 Dodge Durango SUV - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Good for 50k miles
By Bob on
Vehicle2005 Dodge Durango SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
ReviewThis vehicle is a maintenance nightmare. Go ahead and pull out the maintenance schedule and you will see what I mean. For example, plugs every 30k miles, axle flush ever 15k miles, transmission fluid every 30k miles, etc, etc, etc. This was a nice SUV for about 50k miles, but it has had problems with the steering and irritating clunking noise coming from the front suspension. The fuel tank has problems so it like to shoot fuel all over the place if you fill it up and allow the pump to automatically shut off. The transmission has started to slip and there is an idle problem that causes it to die. Has had this problem since about 30k miles. Just poor quality overall. We have the 4.7L Magnum.
Best FeaturesThree row seating, leather interior, although the seat is falling apart.
Worst FeaturesBuild quality! This could be an outstanding vehicle if it had some build quality! I love to drive it when it's running right, but I just wish I would run right! Never again will I buy another Dodge though.

This is a detective story set in 1980s Shrewsbury and Toronto. A social worker, Philip Eyre, searches for the father of a baby girl and finds himself obsessed by the girl's mother who ends up in psychiatric hospital after trying to commit suicide. While investigating the case, Philip comes to question his own life – his own fathering and father.
The case apparently solved, Philip takes a job in Toronto as a researcher but becomes haunted by his own past. He returns to England, and a new obsession with the case gathers pace. Is the baby related to him? Are they connected by some strange literary provenance – Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre? By now he is randomly switching from one possibility, one bizarre plot about orphans and illegitimacy, to the next. He suffers a breakdown; the pursuit of an answer has turned back in on him; now he is the one who feels pursued.
The Book of Guardians is a haunting novel that leaves readers wondering whether it is possible to recall and know your own past with any degree of certainty.
'The Book of Guardians grips the reader from the start, fearlessly delving into our secret selves. Its discoveries are unsettling and sometimes macabre, the writing audacious and eloquent.' —Linda Anderson
'Derek Neale's first novel is a remarkable debut. The Book of Guardians is an often touching examination of the philosophy of 'care', which tackles head-on the alienation and uncertainty of contemporary lives. Neale has taken the great theme of the Victorians – orphan-hood – and produced a subtle and engaging romance of childhood and identity, a story of the quest for origins and the torments of memory, and of the startlingly random connections between the abandoned and the secure which weave the texture of a life in our times.' —Victor Sage

Vania Zouravliov
Russian-born Vania Zouravliov was inspired from an early age by influences as diverse as The Bible, Dante's Divine Comedy, early Disney animation and North American Indians. Something of a child prodigy in his homeland, he was championed by many influential classical musicians including Ashkenazi, Spivakov and Menuhin. He even had television programs made about him and was introduced to famous communist artists, godfathers of social realism, who told him that his work was from the Devil.
By the age of 13, Vania Zouravliov was exhibiting internationally, visited Canterbury several times as well as Paris, Colmar and Berlin. He subsequently studied in the UK, and during this time began creating illustrations for The Scotsman and comics for Fantagraphics and Dark Horse in the US.

Attempted Suicide
KSAL Staff - November 23, 2015 10:41 am
An inmate found hanging in a Saline County Jail cell remains unconscious at the hospital.
According to Captain Roger Soldan with the Saline County Sheriff's Office, an inmate alerted deputies after waking up to find 49-year-old John J. Tripp hanging from the top bunk in his cell.
Deputies performed CPR before Tripp was transported to Salina Regional Health Center early Sunday morning around 1:20am.
Captain Soldan tells KSAL News that Tripp had wrapped a pair of jail issued pants around his neck.
Tripp, who is from Keystone, Florida had been in the Saline County Jail since since October 31st on drug charges.
who cares if these thugs wish to die saves everyone time and money.
Dear sir that commented below,
That is one of the most insensitive things I've heard this week. Would you say that to one of Jon's family members? I just happen to be sitting next to one of them. Their eyes filled with tears as we read your comment. From your lack of knowledge/compassion about Jon I'm going to say that you've never had to deal with someone you love dying from a self inflicted disease. I will not stoop to your level. So please shut your damn mouth. Have a great day. If you get some free time you should do some reading.

When is an appropriate time to start dating again after a divorce? I've only been divorced for three months, but my husband and I have been emotionally separated for years. I'm so ready to hit the town, but a few of my friends tell me I should wait it out a bit. What gives?
— Desperate For Love
Dear Desperate,
Ummm … the `50s called. They want their standards back. Hit the town, baby! If you feel ready, then you're ready. The best cure for a broken heart (or a bored one) is to meet new people and have fun. That and a strong margarita can work wonders. So, go. Have fun, and if your friends don't want to join in your post-divorce hoopla, then who needs them? You're starting a new, post-divorce life. Maybe it's time to find some nice, shiny new friends, too.

Reports this week of public sexual attacks against women in Cologne, Germany, on New Year's Eve were frighteningly reminiscent of the stories that trickled out of Egypt during the Arab Spring rallies of 2011 and 2012. Back in February 2011, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was pulled away from her bodyguard by a mob of Egyptian men in Cairo's Tahrir Square, where she was stripped, beaten and raped for a traumatizing 40 minutes, during which time she was convinced she was "in the process of dying." Recounting her ordeal to The New York Times a couple months later, she said of her attackers: "They really enjoyed my pain and suffering. It incited them to more violence."
A jarringly similar attack happened to British journalist Natasha Smith more than a year later, when thousands of Egyptians again flooded Tahrir Square to celebrate the election of Mohammed Morsi. The nation's joy became Smith's terror just as soon as a horde of men closed in on her and, like Logan, tore her clothes off, violently fondled her and "forced their fingers inside her." She escaped by grabbing hold of men's clothes and a burka and stumbling away to safety with the help of two other men.
These stories are by no means unique to foreign correspondents: in June 2012, during what was supposed to be a rally against sexual violence held again in Tahrir Square, dozens of Egyptian women were attacked and molested by a mob of hundreds of men who couldn't be staved off by the group of male supporters who futilely tried to protect the women. That incident happened about six months after a video emerged of Egyptian military police beating a female protester in Tahrir, stripping her on the street down to her bright blue bra. We'd be foolish to assume there weren't dozens more like incidents during that time.
That is rape culture: where sexual assault is so normal and accepted that it can be carried out openly, in the street, with hundreds or thousands of witnesses. It's where the state is complicit in violence against women and, in the most contemptible of cases, is even involved.
This is part of the reason why the incident in Cologne was so alarming: it happened in a public square with thousands of people, at one of the largest public gatherings of the year. The perpetrators — as many as 1,000 men, described as drunk and aggressive, reportedly of Arab or North African descent — obviously didn't worry about being seen, nor did they seem to care about repercussions (to say nothing of their regard for their victims as actual people). At the time of writing, Cologne police have received 121 formal complaints, most of which were of sexual assault but also two alleged rapes, though no arrests have yet been reported. And perhaps worst of all, there was a peculiar plague of silence from German police, politicians and even some media organizations until days after the incident.
German officials are in a tough spot. Even without any identified suspects, Europe's hard right has seized on the incident as evidence of the social cost of Germany influx of more than 1.1 million asylum-seekers in the past year. Chancellor Angela Merkel clearly doesn't want to stoke further fear and hatred of newcomers, while at the same time she has to acknowledge that something is profoundly, gravely wrong if Cologne women can be sexually assaulted en masse, in public. She called the incident "intolerable" and said, "we must confront this resolutely," which is correct in terms of rhetoric, though rhetoric alone certainly isn't enough.
Reker seemed to be conceding to the notion that all of Cologne had suddenly become a dark alley
The city's mayor Henriette Reker — who was stabbed in the neck back in October by an anti-immigrant extremist — flubbed even the rhetoric part by suggesting women adopt a "code of conduct" and try to stay "an arm's length" away from male strangers to mitigate the risk of sexual assault. Her remarks outraged those in Germany already angered by what happened, and rightfully so: people who espouse the rather uncontroversial advice of telling women to avoid dark alleys late at night to avoid assault are already accused of victim-blaming. In this case, Reker seemed to be conceding to the notion that all of Cologne had suddenly become a dark alley, and instead of weeding out the criminals and putting up new streetlights, she told women to walk in packs and avoid men.
In Canada, we like to talk about rape culture when someone says something misogynistic on TV or a bunch of dumb freshman recite a cheer about consent. The thing is, when those things happen, the perpetrating buffoons often lose their jobs, or are investigated by authorities, or are subject to prolonged and nationwide condemnation. Our culture, by and large, rejects the subjugation of women, which is why errant behaviour generates condemnation and scorn, not celebration — or even nonchalance. But when women get attacked in public, among witnesses, to shrugs or indifference from authorities: that's rape culture. And apparently, it's not just in Tahrir Square anymore.

This week, we've covered hot classes in New York, cool fitness trends in the New Year and a review of an ab workout that delivers. And all of these different ways of working out seem to target different things: the hard-core classes and HIIT burns calories and builds strength in a short and intense amount of time, while an ab workout DVD definitely works the, well, abs. So we got to wondering: Do you like working a specific muscle group? And if so, which one is your fave to flex?
Now, tell us more in the comments: which moves you like to do and why! Would love to hear 'em! —Jenn

The Democrat Party has destroyed the state. There won't be any fixing this until the politicians have been chastened and the Democrat Party is shaken from power. Further it won't happen until the state's Republican Party finally stops being the Democrat's handmaidens, supping on the scraps from the Democrat's table and starts acting like a real Republican Party.
Unfortunately, I don't see that happening until the state utterly crashes and burns. Imagine the whole state like Detroit. Then you'll start to see what I mean.

Energy Policy, vol. 38, issue 9 (2010) pp. 5281-5289
To explore public awareness of carbon capture and storage (CCS), attitudes towards the use of CCS and the determinants of CCS acceptance in China, a study was conducted in July 2009 based on face-to-face interviews with participants across the country. The result showed that the awareness of CCS was low among the surveyed public in China, compared to other clean energy technologies. Respondents indicated a slightly supportive attitude towards the use of CCS as an alternative technology to CO2 emission reductions. The regression model revealed that in addition to CCS knowledge, respondents' understanding of the characteristics of CCS, such as the maturity of the technology, risks, capability of CO2 emission reductions, and CCS policy were all significant factors in predicting the acceptance of CCS. The findings suggest that integrating public education and communication into CCS development policy would be an effective strategy to overcome the barrier of low public acceptance.

Related: Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls
FRANKIE ROSE has quite a reputation for her minimal, MAUREEN TUCKER-like beats and iconic presence in buzz bands CRYSTAL STILTS, DUM DUM GIRLS and VIVIAN GIRLS. With her newest solo record, Interstellar out this year via Slumberland, FRANKIE has departed from the lo-fi garage, reverb-drenched SPECTOR-sound and instead embraced an icy blend of buffered beats, cascading chords and steely synths. It's an electro-inspired indie-rock gem that Pitchfork hailed in their BNM review, stating ROSE "transports us further and takes us higher than she ever could have as the drummer of an indie pop revivalist band." BIG SMOKE CITY joins the bill tonight, living in a dream where girls run around giving out pizza like broken hearts and the hangover is eternal. Their songs remind us of situations we'll never forget but always repeat and to not take love too seriously. When the smoke clears, the stories will remain. Kicking off the indie-celebrating night of major tuneage here is Chicago-based quartet VIDEOTAPE. Their mix of indie-pop, shoegaze and noisy undercurrents create a dense cloud of atmospherics for an ethereal and wistful sound. Their debut LP, This Is Disconnect, came out on September 4th and it's as dynamic and captivating as anything we've heard all month.

This morning's anonymous complaint about the state of publishing affairs is already drawing responses from other GalleyCat readers. "Sheesh," countered one senior editor. "When I read that post I seriously thought, 'okay, now is the time when you TAKE YOUR WHINING ASS HOME AND START LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB.'" Sure, this editor continues, the pay ain't great, and houses overpay for books all the time. "But we knew that when we became editors. Or if we didn't, we cottoned on pretty fast. If this person has stopped loving books, thinks no one reads, and thinks it's a dying industry, why hasn't he/she changed careers?" (Although, this source notes, people in fat-paycheck fields like finance and law are just as miserable, if not more so.)
Another industry insider is more sympathetic. "I have to agree that the profits the big mega-houses bring in do not necessarily indicate industry (or cultural) health," this reader says. "The current profit margins are a bubble, and anyone who fails to see that (or ignores it) is foolish." Then he zeroes in on the emotional core of this morning's post: "I think the book industry is struggling to get good people, and it has had an effect." He describes his own experience with receiving a $28,000 offer for an entry-level editorial position at a big house. "I thought it was a joke," he recalls. "I'm not wealthy, I have loan payments, how could anyone in my situation accept? They couldn't offer more, and sadly, I had to decline." (He says his current position with a smaller publisher pays better, and comes with more experience-building responsibilities.) "I've met a great number of people who left publishing because it was impossible to continue," he concludes. "I think houses need to stop expecting people to make bad decisions in their lives by taking low-paying jobs, as if they were doing the people a favor. Get the best people into publishing—they'll be stronger, more profitable companies in the long run."

It was an "old school" versus "new school" challenge to land the cover of Madden NFL 25′. Barry Sanders defeated Adrian Peterson in the final vote to win the honor!
It just goes to show you that football fans haven't forgot about the greatness of Barry Sanders! Detroit Lions Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders beat out Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings. Take a look at how it all went down last night!
Of course, the Madden cover has long been considered a jinx. Sanders is retired so no worries there. Players like Daunte Culpepper, Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander all had horrible seasons after being on the cover. Thankfully last year Calvin Johnson didn't get seriously injured. Johnson ended up setting a single-season receiving record with 1,964 yards. Go LIONS!

155 Responses to Enter to WIN a Full Cinematic Wedding Videography Package!
Another awesome chance for a package! Thank you so much for another opportunity. My fiancé and I would be so grateful if we won. Videography is a must in any wedding and would be a God send to our small budget. I hope we get to work with you!
I would love to win this package. Me and my fiancé have finally decided to marry after 7 years together. Our budget isn't that extensive and I would love to capture our day with a videography package. I am an indian bride and it would be amazing to capture both days in their glory. Thank you for the opportunity and I hope I get the chance to work with you.
This would be a wonderful gift if chosen to win. I am an Operation Iraqi Freedom War Veteran and my fiance waited for me for 545 days while being deployed. We would love a dream wedding with a a Full Cinematic Wedding Videography Package to capture the memories. Unfortunatley, we don't have the budget for a huge wedding but are greatful to have found each other. I wish for the opportunity to share my big day with NST Pictures. Good bless America!!!!
It would be a true blessing to win this videography package because we too are on a small budget. I know the day will fly by and we will have pictures to look back on. However, it would be a true gift to be able to relive our special day for years to come. And especially to have something to pass down to our kids one day. Thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to capturing our special day with you!
You are my saving angel.
What a great opportunity!!
Love this opportunity!
I am getting married in April 2015 and would love to win a wedding package as my budget is not as large as I would like it to be but just big enough to have a lovely wedding.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to win. Our budget is not large and a video memory would be fabulous.
What a great opportunity! Thanks!
To win this package would be such an amazing blessing. My fiancé and I have been together over four years and will be together a little over five when we get married. He has just recently returned home from BMT and tech school for the air force. We have decided to get married March of next year, but we are also trying to save up money because I am still pursuing my college bachelor degree. It would mean so much not to have the burden of paying to have an amazing video of our big special day. I would love so much to win this package! 🙂
What an awesome giveaway! Thank you!
Thank you for this awesome giveaway!
Such beautiful videography!! I am getting married in December of 2014 and would be so blessed to preserve our special day this way! Our budget is limiting us on our options to document our wedding, but having a wedding video is so important to me. We so grateful for this opportunity!!
We're having a girl scout summer camp wedding next year with lots of DIY touches and would love to be able to afford a videographer but unfortunately its completely out of budget. It's great to have the opportunity to be able to capture all my small details from my grand entrance to the roaring bon fire before my guests go to sleep in their cabins!
What an amazing giveaway! Likely a long shot, but would love to be in the running!
Would love to have NST film my wedding at Brooklyn Winery this summer!
Ah this could not be more perfect in timing! After having my bat mitzvah video and watching it over and over again. I knew that having a videographer was a non negotiable for the wedding. Sadly after crunching the numbers my Fiance and I have budgeted that we will have to pay out of pocket for this expense since we both really want to have this. Ah! This is such a great timing, please pick us to save us from stressing over our budget 🙂
I would love to win this wedding package as we have a tight budget. Winning this giveaway will help my fiance and I create an awesome wedding experience!
Thank you so much for this opportunity! I know there is no way we could afford to have a videographer on our own and it is SO important to us!
We would love to win this package! My fiance's family lives in one state, my family lives in another, and my fiance and I live in an entirely different state. We don't have families that can travel anywhere (for various reasons) so have decided to have a small wedding then have parties at each of the places our families live. We hope to be able to videotape our small wedding and share it with all of our loved ones who couldn't be there. We want them to feel a part of it and believe this package could help us do that!
This would be pretty great for us. We are having a quirky, unique CT wedding and this could be a nice addition.
What a great package!
It would be so amazing to win!! I am set on having a wedding video – I absolutely love watching my parents' – but this budget has me awfully frightened. This would be so great!
I love that you give the bride and the groom an opportunity to win a package like this one. My fiancé and I would loveeeee to be able to have something like this to cherish and look back on. I am from Massachusetts and he is from New York. I reside in New York now, but we plan to have our wedding on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. We both grew up visiting the island and absolutely love it. To have a video that captures our most special moment there, would mean so much to us!!
I would be honored to win the Wedding Package from NST pictures!! My fiancé and I are working through a tough time financially, as he opens up his own brewery. We were contemplating not have a wedding because we don't have the money to cover the costs. This would help us tremendously!! We would be so thankful!
This would be a great gift if we win because we had to cut this out of our budget. We have family members being our photographer also. Since its a destination wedding we really had to cut a lot of things to meet our budget. Hopefully we get this to capture our moment when we say I Do.
So excited to get an oppertunity for a videography of our special day. My fiance and I have been together for 10 years waiting for the money to have the wedding of my dreams. Still dont have it but at this point our union is all that matters but to capture it would be amazing. Thanks for the oppertunity.
Ny wedding is in 2 weeks to the boy I've loved since I was 6. This would be awesome I still don't have a photographer it's not in the budget.
I am so excited for my wedding and love to have this opportunity.
I'd love the oppourtunity to work with you! Your work is amazing! Winning a cinematography package would be such a blessing for me & my fiancé.
Janine Tokarski
What a great opportunity for a video package!
This would be a great to win! One thing that we wouldn't have to worry about in our budget, plus awesome work. Thanks for this opportunity 🙂
I'm crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs, and eyes that we can win this video package!! Your work looks amazing and we'd be honored to win it! *crosses all limbs and eyes!!*
Love this! Such a great offer and opportunity.
Woooooo were ready to party our special night away and have it all captured! Pick us!!
The lucky husband to-be
Cheers to all of us "ballers on a budget!" would be great to win something for the most special day of our lives that will help us to remember it forever! Good luck to everyone.
Me and my fiancé would love to win this package. We may not be able to afford videography or photography so it would be nice to win a video package.
Would love to win this. Fiance is against videography because of the cost!
This would be an incredible gift!
cool contest!
This is such a wonderful opportunity that my fiance, Rob, and I are grateful for. We have been together for over 12 years (since HS) and he loved me enough to follow me from NY to FL so that I could pursue a PhD. Now I'm working on my dissertation back in New York AND planning a wedding at the same time — financially, mentally and emotionally challenging but worth it. A photographer who can really capture our story would be a dream come true!
Due to me having such a large family (both of my parents grew up mennonite) I really want to have a small intimate wedding with all of the details of the day captured. I love how you capture weddings in a classic yet documentary style. Videography is one of the things that we would love to add in because then it would allow us to share our day with everyone without them needing to travel.
This is a great opportunity for my fiance and I to have a videographer at our wedding. We are hesitant on hiring one due to budget restrictions. It would be a wonderful gift to win this contest!
Every person I have talked to has told me either how much they love their wedding video or how much they wish they had one. This would be an amazing opportunity given our budget!
Thanks for this opportunity!
I would LOVE To win this package. Our budget is small and we are having a rustic picnic reception. It would be great to capture the memories of video.
These videos are beautiful and we would be so fortunate if chosen!
I would love for you to film us at the Essex house in NYC. We are a fun crowd with lots of nice and energetic people including professional dancers, coreographers, and lots of soon to be engaged couples. Please pick us. It would really mean a lot. Lots of love!!
I'm so grateful thank you all are offering this opportunity!! I live in New York and the budget for my entire wedding is $5000 because I am a student and so is my fiance so we just want a memorable day for our family and close friends to share in our union. It's almost discouraging to think we might have to spend more but we just cannot afford to. We rather invest in our futures so as long as we can share our love with loved ones we know it will be magnificent nevertheless. You all do amazing work so thank you for sharing your awesomeness! 🙂
This is a great opportunity. Thank you.
This would be so awesome!! Specially since we having a destination wedding! Thank you
Hi NST Pictures! Thanks so much for providing the opportunity to win a wedding video package. Your wedding videos are absolutely breathtaking and my fiancé and I would be truly honored to have you capture our special day. We both love how you are really able to highlight each couple's personality through your videography and let their real joy shine through. Each video is so personalized and special – we really are captivated by your work. Thanks again for the opportunity and for sharing what you do!
What a sweet opportunity! My fiance and I are currently shopping for photographers but unfortunately don't have room for a videographer in our budget. I'm a web developer and live and breathe media, so having footage of such a special day would mean a lot. Best of luck to all the brides out there!
Can't wait for an awesome photographer 🙂
NST has great reviews and does wonderful work. Would love to use their services on our special day!
Wonderful video above! I hope I win!! 🙂
My fiance and I are getting married next year and are doing it completely on our own. After 10 years together and being since high school we decided this is the perfect time to live our dreams of being married together, as we are each other's first love. This would be a great help!
Winning this would be the perfect way to capture our wedding memories and get to work with a great company. We are paying for the wedding ourselves and don't have the budget for a videographer right now but would be so so grateful to have someone record the special day with our family and friends.
What an amazing giveaway!! My fiancé and I just started planning our wedding for next year!
Wow! What a wonderful thing to giveaway! I wanted a videographer for our Jan 2015 wedding SO bad, but our budget does not allow for it. I actually cried when I realized this! To win one from such an amazing talent would be AWESOME!!
I'm not sure yet if I need a videographer, but winning a free one would certainly answer that question for me!
this would be a wonderful prize to win!! This contest came right in time. My Fiance and I are getting married in November. We want to capture this special day on video but our budget says otherwise… I've watched the some of the videos and I am in awe of the work!!!
This is an amazing giveaway, I would love love love to win it and capture my wedding with it. My fiance would be so surprised.
Gosh at every trade show or Bridal expo event we always visit NST! I'm just in awe of their work. We fantasize about working with them for our wedding. It would be a dream come true to win this. We need to win this!

I was going to ask my sister's flatmate to film the day on her iPhone (something is better than nothing, right?!) This would be much better!!!!
Just found NST productions and what amazing quality in all the videos! Very excited about this giveaway!
Wow! So excited to see this and have an opportunity like this! Having a very tight budget and this wanting to be my one splurge that wish was popped when discovering how much food was for a wedding! TOO MUCH! still trying my hardest to get this for myself and us as a couple, but it would take that huge burden off my shoulders to win the opportunity (having 4 kids is also making it impossible for extra splurges). Being an Art teacher I appreciate the artistic view on this more then anything, absolutely love your artwork! 🙂

This would be a great opportunity for our wedding. We have an extremely tight and small budget. It would give us the chance to relive our wedding day whenever we wanted. A precious keepsake, and it would mean so much to us if we win.
I would love to win this for my Charleston destination wedding! It's a gorgeous city and it'll be a gorgeous day to film 🙂
I would love to win this awesome giveaway!
The stresses of planning a wedding are real. I have heard it from almost everyone who has been married but I am still surprised at how overwhelming it is. And how expensive it is. I feel like wedding venues are really taking advantage of every little girls dream. And there are so many things to consider with everyone involved having their opinion. I never thought I would want to elope but it is quite appealing to me now! Winning a package like this would definitely lighten the load and help to make our special day exactly what it's supposed to be. Here's hoping!!
What a fantastic opportunity! Crossing my fingers we can win!
This is an amazing chance to win! Hoping that my fiance and I can win and have an amazing video produced by such amazing and talented people. Fingers crossed!

We would love to win a package like this, since we are having a small intimate wedding on a small budget!
I jumped for joy when I saw this contest and thinking of the opportunity of possibly winning. Evan and I have been in a long distance relationship (Houston – New York) for the past 9 months, taking turns to fly to see each other once a month. Two weeks ago, he surprised me by flying to New York just to propose. We have already begun speaking about our wedding but the numbers are scary! We want to bridge our distance and get married, and we refuse to let our limited resources (we both work in youth ministry) hinder our dreams for a beautiful wedding. Having the blessing to have our memories captured by NST Pictures would certainly be a stress reliever. Cinematography is a MUST at our wedding, we pray that NST considers us 🙂
Just entered to win a Full Cinematic Wedding Videography Package! My fiancé and I are having our wedding next year in New York City and we would love to have our special day captured by NST PICTURES.
I have fallen completely in love with NST pictures. I have looked at some other videographers' work and this by far is the best. I would love the opportunity to win this package. Our budget is extremely tight and it would mean so much.
I would love to have my special day captured. We have a very limited budget due to my Medical bills for chemo and had to cut out a lot of things for our wedding. I would love to win this package. ☺
While watching some of your sample videos I was immediately impressed by your ability to capture the beautiful and memorable moments, the fun and distinct personalities of the bride and groom, and to put all of this into the 'story' with artistic flair and professionalism. I would love to have you do the same for Darren and I…..
Thank you for a chance at winning this amazing package.
Next year my husband and I will be renewing our vows at 20 years – this would be an incredible addition to our wedding. When we first were married, we had a limited budget and a wedding videographer wasn't even in an option, we were fortunate out friend photod our small garden/backyard wedding. I think this is fabulous that you are giving a person the opportunity to win something so precious – hopefully it's us 🙂
What beautiful videos. Hope we would be lucky enough to be able to remember our wedding in such a beautiful way
My fiancé and I would love to win this package. We are having a small wedding due to budget, this would not be an expense we could afford. This would help us greatly with our wedding since we want it documented!! I am also a special education teacher and would love to have something to show my class when I get married in October. After being together for 5 and a half years we will finally be tying the knot.
What a great giveaway!! I would be so excited to win this, as my fiance and I can't afford a photographer or videographer for our wedding in Santa Barbara. It'll be at the Santa Barbara Court House, so I would love to capture the beautiful venue! 🙂
A friend of mine recently used NST for her wedding and watching the film put tears in my eyes. I would LOVE to have NST at my wedding to create a film that I know I would cherish for a life time!
This is such a wonderful giveaway! Thanks!
Thank you for the opportunity to win a video!! I found out about you from a friend and would be thrilled to have a video done by NST 😀
Thank you for having this giveaway! It would be an honor and an AMAZING opportunity to win this for our wedding on June 19! Thanks again xoxo
I would love if you could give this package to my dear girlfriend who is battling breast cancer for the second, for her vow renewal in June 2015. It would really be appreciated. Thank you.
Your work captures the essence of love. I hope my fiancé and I will have the opportunity to have such an amazing video as a keepsake.
Thanks for the opportunity. A great giveaway to win.
Thank you so much for this opportunity! My fiancé and I are college sweethearts, and we will be getting married about a month before our nine year anniversary. It would be awesome to get a video of our wedding; especially to show our future children and grandchildren! We don't have a huge budget, and this would be greatly appreciated.
Yes ! Another chance to win something for my wedding ! So excited
Wow, so many to compete against! This great opportunity would be a pleasure to have. However, may the lucky couple who wins have a happiest wedding. **crossing fingers!**
My fiancé and I are not able to have a video at this time for our August 2014 wedding due to budget restrictions. Winning this opportunity would allow us to have a copy of our vows to show our children.
Groom wasn't an option. My feyonce is making me do this but that being said, your work is awesome!!
What a wonderful sweepstake! We weren't able to fit a videographer into our budget, so it is so nice to still have to opportunity to win the service though your company!

What do the Maple Leafs and Mayor Rob Ford have in common these days?
Both represent large 'Nations,' both have been labelled 'embarrassing' and both are trying to hold on until Christmas, after which some time off and holiday cheer might soften their critics.
Ford and city council are about to wrap up a tumultuous season, but the Leafs have much unfinished business. On Thursday, just before the start of the National Hockey League holiday roster freeze, the Leafs meet the visiting Phoenix Coyotes. If that game unfolds anything like Tuesday's no-show against the Florida Panthers, the Leafs will be Scrooged by their own supporters. Folks are fed up with 10 losses in the past 13 games, which has wasted almost all the potential playoff points Toronto banked in October.

Hello everyone! My name is Lifan, I'm from Indiana. I like drawing, TV, internet, and playing ultimate frisbee.
Currently, I go to Herron School of Art and I'm majoring in Illustration and Painting. Most likely. I haven't quite decided yet. I also might end up doing New Media. Actually, I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life.
But anyways, talk to me! I would be super happy just to receive notes saying "hi," or "what's up?" I don't bite!
