Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Team motivation part of day-to-day business
In order to create and sustain team motivation, it needs to be a matter of constant focus.
Think of it like coaching your team for a marathon. This would require training on a daily basis in order to build stamina and reach optimum fitness levels. It's simply not enough to offer short, infrequent spurts of intense training activity and hope it will take them the distance.
Many leaders make the mistake of thinking team motivation is separate from or somehow less important than conducting day-to-day-business. They may put it on the back burner, believing that there will be plenty of time to work on morale and team building after the bottom line is achieved.
The truth is, both need to happen simultaneously. A motivated team gives your organization a competitive edge, just as it can be the leverage needed to convert ideas into action. It's entirely possible for employees to be engaged and able to deliver great customer service when they are being assured of a reason to do so. That happens when they work inside an environment that encourages them to remain or become motivated.
Whoa -- become motivated? I can hear the naysayers now. "How can I possibly motivate employees who aren't already self-motivated? After all, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink." Yes, that's true. The catalyst for motivation does come from within, and not all employees will be equally disciplined or desirous enough to be self-motivated.
However, as a manager, you must recognize that motivation is also greatly influenced by external factors, including environment. And that is something you have control over. A healthy work environment has a balance of self-motivation and team motivation, both of which a good leader can inspire while promoting productivity and progress.
An environment that is conducive for team motivation should look something like this:
-- Employees should be able to work free of fear. This includes concern that if they don't perform to the boss's high standards they will be fired, as well as worry that if they report any wrongdoing they will be retaliated against.
-- Everyone should get to know those they work with as a person, not only a fellow employee. This helps empathy, understanding and appreciation to develop naturally.
-- Encourage employees to carry out random acts of kindness in the office and in the community. This may mean that you'll have to get the ball rolling, but once it takes off, it's a great way to break down barriers and improve morale.
-- Each meeting and gathering should be viewed as an opportunity for team building. For example, use meetings as a place to facilitate group problem solving. Ask someone to share a work challenge they are facing and then brainstorm potential solutions as a team.
-- Show that group contributions are valued. When people see that what they say is being noted (yes, that means taking notes) and taken under consideration, it shows that their idea is being taken seriously. Therefore, they will be likely to contribute more valuable ideas in the future.
-- Create an open discussion forum. Once people get into the habit of group brainstorming, it opens the gateway to better communication in a safe place where they can freely express and exchange ideas. The only rule is that no idea is a bad idea.
-- Explain how everyone on the team is interconnected. Give people the "big picture" by creating a chart, process map or diagram that visually describes the workflow and how each person's efforts and contributions impact one other.
-- Offer tangible and creative incentives. Do not underestimate how powerful consistent incentives, bonus programs, and collaborative goals are in keeping the team motivated to stay on course.
-- Recognize effort and results. Take time to honour situations where things have gone well instead of focusing only on those that still need fixing. Ending your meetings with acknowledgements and verbal "pats on the back" helps create group cohesion.
The goal is to create a creative, supportive and encouraging environment that offers a high level of emotional trust. Like a family, the members of the team know each other well, accept others' strengths and weaknesses and look out for one another. Despite not being able to see eye to eye on occasion, they work through the challenges and celebrate the successes.
By maintaining focus on this goal on a daily basis, you can help ensure that your team has the motivation to cross the finish line and stay miles ahead of the competition.

Since we first blogged about Google offering direct links to online travel databases (Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz) a few days ago if city pairs are placed in the web search box, others have picked up on yet another Google test. The new service is primarily about accessing pricing info, timetables etc. This is DIFFERENT than the flight info "shortcuts", "Smart Answers," etc., that most of the major web engines, the airlines themselves, and others have been offering for several years.
For example, if you enter an airline and flight number into Yahoo, Google, or Ask Jeeves info about where the flight is located and when it will be landing is provided. Most of this data applies to flights in the U.S./Canada aviation system. So, if it's a European flight heading to the U.S. or Canada it should be in there. Exceptions do exist and not every service provides access to every airline.
Here are a few examples:
Other services, aside from the airline sites themselves, provide near real-time tracking info with data direct from FAA computers and other sources.
- RLM Systems/FlightView.com
Info about the flight and a map of the location of the aircraft.
- FlyteCom/WebTrax
- Flight Explorer/ FastTrack
- fboweb.com
Info about the flight, maps.
Need mobile flight tracking info? Here are a few options
- 4info.net
(Mobile Web, SMS)
- Synfonic
- Rovenet Flight Checker (Mobile Web)
Unlike other mobile web flight checkers, this service gives all sorts of data like altitude, air speed, direction etc. Just like what you would find from many web-based services.
Airport Delays and Status (U.S. Only)
Postscript: Thanks to reader Neurophys, here's what it likely to become my favorite web based flight tracking tool, FlightAware. Impressive!!!

Graham DeLaet added another top 10 finish to his 2014 PGA Tour season, after tying seventh at the HP Byron Nelson Championship.
After tying for seventh, and earning $207,863 for the tournament, DeLaet had tweeted that he had hoped for a better showing at the event. "Not what I had hoped for today but hung in there. Thanks to everyone for the support and tweets this week. And how about Mike Weir?"
Weir shot a three-under 67 in the fourth round of the Byron Nelson championship on Sunday to finish in second place, two strokes behind of first-place winner Brendon Todd. It was Weir's best tournament since he finished second at Pebble Beach in 2009.
Since the beginning of the season, Graham DeLaet has a dozen top 10s, including three runners-up and a pair of third-place finishes. "Every time I've been in contention late in the weekend I feel like I've played pretty well, I haven't given anything away," said DeLaet. "It's just one of those things of getting one or two breaks, making a couple of long putts or chipping in and it's just one of those things."
"I feel like it hasn't happened yet, but my patience is there, and I feel like I'm playing well enough. Coming into this week, I felt like my game was really close if I could just make some putts. I was able to do that for a couple of rounds and find myself in good shape."
DeLaet has earned $1,968,796 so far in 2014, and is ranked 21st in the FedExCup. His official World Golf ranking is 33rd. During the 2014 PGA Tour season, he has placed second twice, and in the top 10 six times. He has also made the top 25 seven times, and only missed the cut three times this year.
Since DeLaet is the top-ranked golfer for greens-in-regulation percentage, and ranked eighth overall for driving distance, it is expected that Graham will earn his first ever PGA Tour championship this year.
During round one of the tournament, DeLaet started on the back nine where he stayed on par, with a lone birdie on hole 16. Then during the front nine, he bogeyed on hole three, but hit back-to-back birdies on holes seven and eight. For the round, DeLaet was 68, two-under-par.
Back on the course for the second round, DeLaet started on the front nine, where he shot back-to-back birdies on holes seven and eight again. Then during the back nine, he shot birdies on holes 11 and 15. After finishing the day with a four-under-par 66, DeLaet was in contention at the top of the leaderboard.
During round three, DeLaet started on the front nine, where he shot birdies on holes three and seven, and then a bogey on hole eight. During the back nine, he hit a birdie on hole 17 and finished at 68, two-under-par.
Then for the fourth and final round, DeLaet started on the front nine where he shot a birdie on hole three, but then back-to-back bogeys on holes four and five. During the back nine, he shot a bogey on hole 11, and then birdies on holes 14 and 16. He finished at par 70 for the round.
There was some excitement for DeLaet during the HP Byron Nelson, that had nothing to do with how he played - Graham had his courtesy car stolen on Friday. The stolen vehicle was eventually left at a McDonalds, where it was reclaimed.
Starting on Thursday, May 22, DeLaet will compete in the Crown Plaza Invitational at the Colonial course, located at Fort Worth, Texas.

Jul 9, 2014Civilization Revolution 2 is a solid and entertaining strategic experience that's worth the download if you're in a strategic state of mind. I've had a few failed moments as a ruler, but I'm not exactly disappointed.
Jul 9, 2014It feels like an adaptation of the original game, but it is still a solid, fun and engaging experience.
Aug 24, 2014No multiplayer is a blow, but this off-shoot's return is otherwise compelling. [Oct 2014, p.67]
Jul 3, 2014Civilization Revolution 2 brings with it a visual overhaul, new leaders and some new units, but ultimately, it's largely the same game that suffers with the same issues of older Civ games.
Aug 25, 2014A solid mobile game, a shoddy Civ game. It gets boring after a measly two hours session, which is a subpar effort for this type of game. [Issue#244]
Jul 9, 2014If, like the developers seem to have done, you ignore the more complex facets of the game, there's still a lot of Civilization-like fun to have. It's just a lesser experience than even the first Revolution was.
Jul 8, 2014Civilization Revolution 2 just doesn't live up to the price tag for fans of the series as it doesn't add much at all. It's also not that appealing for newcomers as it falls off the tight rope of in depth strategy, and accessibility making it one to skip.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 6
Mixed: 1 out of 6
Negative: 3 out of 6
Sep 30, 2014There are 2 kinds of Civ players:
PC fans who grew up playing 40 hour games of civ and love its slow pace and deep complexity. These players hate Civ Rev because its too "simple" and games are too "quick" and the computer "cheats". They are turned off by it from the get go and play it with a chip on their shoulder and write angry 1-3 score reviews. Then there are players who never really got into civ on the PC for various reasons: they are very slow paced with games spanning weeks, nothing really flashy or exciting is happening. Civ rev is flashy, colorful, fast-paced (only compared to civ) and no less as complex and brilliant as any civ game.
Playing the same game that I have for PS3 on my iPhone 4s is pretty crazy. There seems to be only minor changes, such as a slightly smaller world, 5 player games and military units are in groups of 1-3 (A unit of 9 has 9 "heath bars" under it but is only represented in battle by 3 units).
There are several subtle balance changes, such as city with walls with a ranged unit can make a ranged attack so you aren't so devastated by a naval assault, and I never got an option to flip a city using a great person. More wonders, more tech more units.
Its pretty easy to play once you get the hang of it. The only thing you cant see mt do is micro-mange your city, you have to pick a general focus such as food or production. This will annoy die hard fans but its not game breaking.
The difficulty complaints are silly. New players should not be playing on the hardest difficulty. Once you get good at the game you always win on Emperor so you move to Diety where the computer has an unfair advantage. The game is so brilliant and complex that if you are really good you can still win regularly when all your opponents have an unfair advantage. Playing with your back against the wall and still emerging is deeply satisfying for veteran players.
The IGN review is total bogus - I never had one second of slowdown on an iPhone 4S with 20+ cities to control. Every civ is just as aggressive and difficult to dominate as the consoles. Its very disappointing - if civ rev was not made by Sid Meier and people dint expect it to be something different it could flourish. This game is brilliantly tactical and a whole lot of fun.
The main thing that is really disappointing is that there is no multiplayer. Other than that it's probably the most fun and complex game for the iPhone, a hidden gem behind all the haters. My advice to you is to drop the $15 just to see if you're like me and find civ rev to be one of the best games of all time. If not, at least you supported it so that one day I might see another console release, and I appreciate your contribution.… Expand
Jul 29, 2014Set apart from that it is a port, its not the first game in the series and that its quite "pricey"... well, its Civilization!
If youre a fan (like me) its not much new, maybe its a little smoother in running and experience. The price isnt bad compared to PC civ games that used to cost 3 times as much, but compared to all the "free" alternatives they might want to reconsider to use IAP to generate cash instead of upfront payment.
Anyway, if you are new til Civilization its certainly worth the money and time to check it out!… Expand
Jul 29, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Couple of comments. The time periods go by too damned fast. Make a move, next movr might show up several hundred years later. Needs to be slowed down quite a bit. Still have old units in year 2000+. Last comment is irritating. I've researched Leonardo's Workshop and all units are NOT upgraded. Example, catapults should have been upgraded to cannons, but remain catapults after research completed. Please SLOW the time periods down. Other than those comments, I enjoy the game… Expand
Jul 8, 2014This is an absolute joke... An iOS port from the 7th generation of consoles that took four years to make... It plays exactly like the first Civilization Revolution. No improvements, no bug fixes, the computer players still cheat half the time... Wow.… Expand
Jul 14, 2014Horribly disappointing cash grab, not worth a single euro. If you are a Civ fan like me that owns all the games and you bought this game on good faith of the Sid Meier name then you will be gutted too to find out that 2K could release such a product. I am very weary now of Beyond Earth and will definately wait for a sale on that since apparently the Sid Meier name doesn't mean much anymore.… Expand

No one except a physician can really answer that question and it should be a physician that really knows you. You really should see a psychiatrist although it generally takes some time to get in to see one so a primary physician would do in a pinch. If you are looking for something herbal, I can recommend Valerian Root, Kava Kava, maybe St. John's Wort, &/or Chamomile Tea. If you visit a health food store someone there can assist you in finding these or a blend. Also, I suggest that you try to find 10/20 or 30 minutes aside to yourself to calm yourself and try to meditate. You can find CD's or MP3 downloads that can assist you in this process, but it really does work to destress yourself and maybe find the reason for all your frustration and stress. Ideally, you need to know the source to find the cure. Good Luck!

I am hunting my Robison family, my g. g. grandfather was John Robison born 1814 in Belmont Co., Ohio who married Nancy Colvin in 1836 in Belmont Co., Ohio. I have found another Robison researcher that has a Milhoan/Robison family and the Robison is my John Robison's family.
Does anyone else have a Milhoan/Robison in their ancestry????
Thanks for your time,
Peggy at firstname.lastname@example.com

Blogs Liberty and Power Opportunity Knocks from the Institute for Humane StudiesDec 11, 2009 10:27 pm
Opportunity Knocks from the Institute for Humane Studies
An important deadline for students who value liberty is fast approaching. The Institute for Humane Studies, a classical liberal organization which is dear to my heart, is offering Humane Studies Fellowships to graduate students and undergraduates. According to IHS, applicants should show an"interest exploring the principles, practices and institutions necessary for a free society."
A little birdie told me that qualified applicants will have an especially good chance this year.
For more information, see here.

Top Gun Stars: Then and Nowby Free Britney at . Comments
A look at the cast of the classic film Top Gun then and now reveals just how little some of the stars have changed since their 1986 heyday.
Some being the operative word here. A quarter century can take a toll.
Tom Cruise looks barely older than when Maverick uttered the classic Top Gun quotes we know and love. His rival the Iceman? Well ...
Maybe Scientology is onto something. That's all we'll say. Scroll down:
Lol sorry I'm not tryin to be but my god i don't know how to put it. Time is a mutherfucker for some of us. It sucks but at least they look like aging actors and not plastic surgery nightmares. it could b worse : )
Now, now, let's not be so cruel, Miss Lynn.
Damm Kelly M. Looks fugly now damm! What a 180 and Iceman OMG! I can't stop laughing he was so HOT! But now he is just an old unattractive fatso.

I Would Explain the Sky
There are so many big things,
and yet I squint
and catch some small winking
just waiting for explanation.
I would explain the sky,
yet one small star holds me
and whispers of shadows
that stars make
on night sky's dark plane,
and the music in the void
that causes angel's to weep.
It whispers of treasure
and to imagine an opening
where brilliance falls all around
like marbles gay and melting color.
There are so many dusty roads
and this one time I found
a dull stone
shaped like a heart,
not perfect but obvious,
and it enlightened me
and quenched my romance
in a perfect minute.
There are questions popping all around
like bubbles,
the big hand blows sweet wind,
wild wind, hot wind, treacherous wind;
and I lean into truth
as if I could see it there
with some enormous righteous intent,
displaying obvious answers,
invisible answers,
that I have to walk around
and study with creased and pressed thought.
sometimes simple seems so complicated.

I Am From
A slow dance on the shoes of father
into the ocean's crashing waves
baskets of peanut butter and jelly
and the sand of warm days
The man hiding behind walls
where dimension's invisible hand
weaves lines across a meadow
to my heart that understands
A woman's still simple warmth
holding porridge with grape jelly
four leaf clovers in her hand
to show me the magic bone from which
my cheek and chin and smile began
The silly shingles of a roof
outside my window's openness
where I hid my precious things
don't tell the rain
forgotton now the darning egg
not watching rocking chair take age
From each tiny blade of grass un-kept
as morning glory's crept along the fence
with continuation circle's way
regardless of the weather
I came from that kind of day
and midnight's petticoats around the room
ballet dancers as I slept
From the sky laced with wings
gliding on thermal highs and lows
dipping into the pictures in my mind
that grant passage into a poem's flow
I am from a peacock's colors
and the sound of doves on phone lines
the cozy keeper of the children of the children
and the soft hand of a teacher
I am from the number of stairs in a house
the timber of their music's rhythm
the piano of my shouting spirit
and the view from the upstairs window
I am from a grandfather with hair thinning
that loved with unwholesome hands
and sent me wondering into the stars beginning
I am from Sunday questions and gold stars
games of canasta and paper dolls
hand made kites and scooters
flapping sheets and running boards
skate keys and Lassie Come Home
I am from lollygagging and that's not like you
the ice cream man and Saturday Matinee
coloring turkeys with no feathers
and rubber band fights for play
I am from stick horses plum trees
and wrong choices
from late night wetting
dreams of tidal waves
and loud voices
I am from the time before I was
and in charge of every minute's
layers of poetry and music
and creating myself within it

The Magnitude of her Unfolding
She stayed out late one day in spring
whispering sighs into the fragrant sky
for she was sixteen and dreams danced
down the dusty weed choked path with her.
It was dinner time
and the air had cooled
but her pounding heart and footsteps
blazed in youthful ardor.
She turned and was bathed in twilight's glow
floating down a street oh it seemed like floating
of houses stained pink and mauve
against the light of sunset.
She could feel the secrets
that touched her from the window's glow
of mother's rocking children's laughter
and those nesting families touched her soul.
She could feel the undertow
pulling her up into a woman
and she couldn't say why
she cried into the darkening sky.
A girl is a mighty strong thing
she thought and started running
her bright hair dancing back and forth
and her feet echoing fast go fast.
Her breath felt clean
and her colt legs leaped bursting
bursting was her spirit
on that evening in early spring
the night she glimpsed
the magnitude of her unfolding.

The Wall of Time ( in memory of my mother and father-in-love)
They are sitting on black and white
stairs made of ordinary cold cement,
their faces turned towards each other.
Her bare legs in shorts are a dancers
and a scarf only partly hides pin-curled hair.
His pompadour turns up as does his mouth.
They are in love and it is 1951.
Fifty years have passed since that day
that hangs with other years in the hall.
The creak of the floorboards calls out the change
in the way they walk in the morning,
changing, changing from nylon stockings to slippers,
work shoes to sensible, eager to tired.
They wear it with pride.
They wear it with contrition.
The basement echo saddens this listener
knowing time gives and takes,
and holds love accountable for each gruff word,
each wild embrace, every I'm sorry.
The skin grieves, cringes and curls,
and they weave lotion into what might seem harsh
until softness sits with them into the evening,
watching the flickering living room walls
lit by television and the steady rise and fall
of falling asleep early.
On her way to turning down the sheets
she touches his hair and says, "come now"
as he smiles into a dream
and she straightens his black tie on the wall
on their 50th anniversary,
knowing it is more than the walls breathing
that makes a picture crooked,
and much more that straightens it.

The Loss Ladder
The ladder is lost in the slow creep of vines
laced to the seasons with rain keeping time
forward the laying of names and their place
enhanced with engravings that memory has traced
Reminders drift down from the trees each new year
delighted the waiting is no longer for tears
change turns the leaves of October to blazing
and the sadness of mauve has fallen out of my daydreams
I remember the feel of the brush in my hand
down her tangle of curls in the dampness of morn
still the length of her smile in my dreams after midnight
can still open the time of that long ago storm
Now smoke and ashes dig into the hillside
and fasten the rocks from out of my past
yet will always be present in my still breathing chest
where the cradle still cuddles with my once aching breath
I can see now how dying is another beginning
the song sung within life's cadence is a test
as a lullaby bubbles and rock a byes others
I've learned each new step on the ladder is the best
With loving thoughts of my daughter Michelle who died of Reye's Syndrome in 1974 when she was 8. October is her birth month

Lesson from Rock and River
Color the canyon walls
warm adobe
fire hearths of brick
places in the heart
The river flows
past hard and stable rock
two different forms of matter
each by uniqueness
gives importance to the other
a perfect relationship
Harmonize with things
that flow by you
like the rock
sweep gracefully past
the stunning fact
gesture with sound
that delights
Sky dark
clouds dense charcoal
the rain stitching lines from sky to earth
in the canyon,
next to the river
Thunder trembles
the sky to open
the flowing current
the river surges
sending hard and stable rock
The rock
as others catch against it
changes the path
of the river
The world's ever changing
nothing stays the same

To Find Marian and Vin
I almost passed by you
your proudly waves
the allure of bare feet
the first rush of letting go of skin
the sin of salt
little pins on pressed sand
where sun's reflection plays catch and drown
then draws breath again
I had to pull away to see
your mouth all spray with wind
your rounded clean line embraced by sky
to find the turn of curved arm where I am
still waiting wet and wild with sand
(with loving memory of my mom & dad and how they loved the ocean)

When a Sears Carpet Cleaning team visits a home, they roll up in a service truck armed with cleaning devices specially engineered to clean dirty carpets. Following a heated deep-cleaning fiber rinse that helps loosen dirt particles, blue-shirted techs remove dirt, debris, and allergens in carpets with a high-powered extraction, followed by a pH-balancing fiber rinse that helps rid carpets of the cleaning solution and any leftover dirt. Solutions are pet- and kid-friendly. The techs, who are trained on carpet styles and cleaning equipment, pay special attention to extra-dirty spots and areas of the carpet that see heavy traffic. While they wrap up the procedure, the carpet gurus field any questions customers may have about the service or the likelihood of retaliation from dust-bunny armies.
Sal Sidoti founded his eponymous HVAC company in 1967, driven by the desire to provide top-notch workmanship with no strings attached. In the 45 years since, Sal has recruited a corps of technicians who possess encyclopedic knowledge of every make and model of HVAC equipment. 24 hours a day, these professionals field calls, dishing quotes and dispatching crews to perform basic maintenance or emergency repairs. The crews install, clean, and inspect heating and cooling units to keep homes operating at comfortable temperatures or at the temperature required for authentic reenactments of the first ice age. Technicians can also perform minor plumbing services, such as toilet installations or leaky faucet repairs.
With the help of a high-powered, 48-inch fan, Clean Air America, Inc.'s truck-mounted vacuum system extracts dust, dirt, and allergens out of ventilation systems at a rate of 16,000 cubic feet of air per minute. To put that in perspective, traditional portable or truck-mounted vacuums muster between 400 and 4,000 cubic feet per minute on a good day. Before each session, technicians send an infrared camera into the ductwork to map out every inch of dust or reveal enclaves of ninjas hiding there. Then they move in with special brushes and scrubbing tools, leaving homes with cleaner air and fewer odors.
The technicians from Tri-Vesta Services swarm homes to perform a cornucopia of electrical-repair, home-remodeling, and disaster-cleanup services. Offering everything from mold inspection to pressure cleaning to remodeling, technicians restore homes to pristine condition after flooding, fires, or visits from rock-star relatives. Electrical inspections and repair work from NACHI?certified inspectors prevent future issues, and heating- and cooling-system services improve airflow in hot or cool months. Tri-Vesta's Five Star Ducts team also de-grimes air ducts and cleans dyer vents, which may help decrease energy bills.
Keith Heating & Cooling, Inc.'s technicians call their service trucks "warehouses on wheels." Each one carries a stock of parts so extensive that repairmen complete more than 97% of their jobs with supplies right off the truck. That kind of service typifies the approach of Keith Heating & Cooling's HVAC specialists, whose services range from heating-system repairs to removal of foreign spies in air ducts. Factory-trained in all major brands including Trane, Bryant, and Lennox, technicians adhere to up-front pricing so homeowners feel comfortable before each job begins. They'll also fix or replace any equipment that breaks down the same season it was installed with same-day service.
When Mauder's licensed and insured technicians arrive, it could be beneath a bright sun or a luminous moon. That's because they're available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for calls to homes and small businesses. They draw on more than 20 years of experiencetwo of which were spent with the wild air conditioners of Badlands National Parkas they examine HVAC systems, draft free estimates, install high-efficiency Carrier furnaces, and back their work with a satisfaction guarantee. When they aren't making repairs or helping with renovation or construction projects, they rig homes with geothermal systems to reduce energy costs and preserve natural resources.

Latest Animal Stories

When I was young I had a bird named blue and I loved him but he was crazy one time we opened the cage to let him come out and he flew into a wall and fell behind my couch so we had to get him out , then he did that another time but this time he flew onto the top of my window and we could not get him down and he was scared to death of coming down but sooner or later we got him down and after that my mom decided to give him away then a few months later we found out he died because he accedentally flew into a stove that was on.
Anita - 2010-03-10
My husband and I adopted a 4 year old Severe from a pet store 1 1/2 years ago. We were told it's a girl but she says,"Hi Bubba" all the time. We renamed her Bella and she can talk very well but she refuses to say Bella. I initially thought we made a big mistake and never in a million years did I think we would own a Macaw. She would run to the back of the cage away from me and wanted nothing to do with us. She was very nippy and un- predictable. She is now the love of my life and the sunshine of my day. We also have an African Cape that I adore and raised from age 4 months but the personality and affection of a Severe tops it all. She went from running scared to never leaving me alone. She will march through the house looking for us with her sister (our Cape named Gabby) behind her. I can now wrap my arm around her to hug and kiss her and she loves it and just melts. She throws herself on her back while laying in my arms to play. It took about 9 months to gain her trust by taking it a step at a time and now she loves all of us. We were told she was raised by a male so she favored my husband at first but now she loves my daughter and I'm her favorite. Love and time made our Bella the love of my life and our lives.

Help! My ONLY bird, a severe macaw who is 15 years old just started laying eggs! The first clutch in Dec. was 3 eggs all cracked within about 3 days apart. The second clutch was 2 eggs, again 3 days apart. The second clutch of eggs were not cracked but she did not sit on either clutch. she just lays them on a part of her cover that she gets covered with than goes up on her top perch. While she is about to lay these eggs, she bangs her beak on the bottom rails of the cage ALL night long! So, my question is 1. is she damaging her beak by banging it all night and 2. How do I get her to stop. Her diet consists of Kaytee rainbow pellets but I'm concerned she is losing calcium.

PLEASE HELP! We bought our 5 year old male severe named Meeka from a very good home. He was rehomed because his owner since birth could not take care of him and give him the proper attention he deserves. When we got home, the first 3-4 days Meeka was very talkative inside of his cage. We opened his door and after a while he began coming out onto the door; no further. His wings are clipped so I have a coffee table right under his door should he decide to come out he would have an easy place to hop onto. Here's the problem. It's been a week and a half, he still goes only to his door to sit; then now it's cage only and he pretty much stopped talking and is beginning to squak. Meeka's door is open all day till we go to bed... He is also beginning to scratch and prune a lot lately.
ANY HELP would be appreciated.

I have two Severe Macaws, a male and a female. They each have their own cage and seem to enjoy each others company, but don't like to get too close to each other. I have found that Severe's tend to be very much a one person bird. Both of mine are rescues, perhaps that has something to do with it. Both are very loving and need a lot of individual attention. I have found with my birds as well as with Severes that friends of mine have, that their tend to have a bit of a challenging personality. I definitely would not recommend this breed for a new or novice bird owner- they, like the Scarlet Macaw, tend to be nippy and need someone with a strong hand at training and someone who is a leader and not intimidated by the bird. If this happens you will quickly lose control. I love both of mine and would adopt another in a heartbeat, but you need to really be in tune with this bird's personality or you will have a really difficult bird on your hand. I also have Scarlet macaw, who I know can be challenging also, but if you are in tune with your birds behavior and needs, whether a Severe or Scarlet- they can really be sweet and lovable and a great addition to your family.

We just bought a 5 year old male from a woman who has taken very well care of him. She had to sell him due to health reasons of her own; he was not receiving the proper time and attention he deserved. When we got home for the first 3-4 days, he was primarily in his cage, frequently coming out to stand on his door. Was also very talkative. Nothing routine wise on our end has changed, but for the last 2 or so days, he has pretty much stopped talking, stays inside the cage and scratches/prunes? himself. He is clipped so he cannot fly but our coffee table is right under his door for him to hop onto. Problem is when we come close to him slowly he is sort of brave (we can tell he wants to retreat) and stays on the door. He readily accepts treats from both myself and daughter as well as strangers. What would cause him to suddenly stop talking, occasionally squawking, and still not fully leave his cage? We are getting very disappointed and want a happy fun macaw. I just don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

My severe, I adopted after she was being abused for screaming etc. I've had her for 5 years or so, you would say I love her, but many days she makes me crazy. She's demanding and doesn't want anyone to talk to me let alone come near me if she's around. She even screams if I'm in another part of house and she can hear me interact with someone. She's messy and has bitten almost everyone I know. I still love her and she loves me but not a bird for anyone without patience and love for any animal I take in. I could never get rid of her even though my family threatens her they will when I'm not home. The second I get home she demands my attention and creates havoc till she gets fullfilled. She always wants to be boss and rarely uses a cage. I could write a book about her many antics and wish somehow I could get her to be people friendly. I'd take her everywhere with me if I only could. I love you nina. aka badgirl.

I've had my chestnut front his entire life (24 years) I think he's really easy going. He doesn't live in a cage I have an entire room for him. He sleeps in an open closet or with me, I'm a light sleeper. I feed him roudybush first thing in the morning then I take his food away until noon then I return his uneaten portion of roudybush mixed with spaghetti or sweet potato, he loves sweet potato, then after he is done eating I take his food away again until early evenning. Then I give him the remainder. By taking his food away when he's done it emulates his wild behavior that keeps him focused at meal time (no playing or finicky behavior. Some parrots like to take baths some don't it all depends on how you introduce them to water and bathing. I use water as a punishment via a squirt bottle when he was misbehaving as a result he is scared of water, live and learn, if you remember that ara severa is in need of companionship you can use that to guide his behavior.

I am about to get my very first severe macaw, he is 5 months old and I've decided to name him Mojo. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on this type of bird and its needs? He is very friendly to me and doesn't seem to mind my wife too much. I had an african grey in the past and he was very much a one person bird, he would fly and attack people that talked to me, almost seeming to be jealous of my interactions with anyone that wasn't himself. I was told the severe macaw is a very social breed of parrot and that they make great family pets. I'm in this for the long haul so any advice is welcome. Peace love and crackers!

Us Weekly Cover of Madonna and Guy Ritchie
The Gloves Are Coming Off in Madonna and Guy's Divorce
Madonna took a helicopter ride out of NYC with her three kids yesterday, returning back late at night carrying David in her arms. While she hasn't made headlines by saying anything too controversial in her past few shows, there's still plenty to be written about the split. Madonna and Guy Ritchie's divorce has been a huge story since it broke, so it's no surprise that they landed on the cover of Us Weekly.
The issue claims to have the real story about what led up to the split, and there's plenty of mudslinging to go around. Apparently the couple was fighting often, and Madonna would tell Guy that he wasn't "strong, ambitious, spiritual, or intelligent" enough for her, while he would call her "old and fat" and attack her singing voice.
The article also implies that Guy may have cheated on Madonna, and that he's already moved on to Kelly Reilly, one of the stars of Sherlock Holmes. Sounds like there was plenty of difficult behavior on both ends and there are constantly new stories about the state of their marriage, none of which bode well for their divorce proceedings.

Bali Wedding – Taeri & Shaun
Nov 13th
We recently shared with you the pre-wedding photos of this couple and now it's time for their spectacular wedding!
I got the chance to photograph the "wedding weekend" of Shaun & Taeri at Alila Villas Soori in Bali earlier this year. Gabe came along to second shoot with me and together we got to experience one of those very special weddings that make this job so great.
Yellow is the colour of sunshine, of joy, happiness, warmth, and nourishment. It was a perfect selection as the accent colour for Shaun & Taeri's wedding. That is exactly how the day felt, joyful, full of sunshine and warmth. Time with this couple and their families was nourishment for the soul.
This fantastic event with impeccable styling was coordinated by their wedding planner extraordinaire Diana, from One & Only Bali Weddings & Events alongside the team of Bali Event Styling, and Westside who provided that lighting that I know you will all ask about. Diana brought together such professional suppliers and created a magical setting for a magical couple. Taeri's hair and makeup was by Yeanne & Team. The flowers by Heliconia Bali. The Cake by Ixora Cakes and the catering for their amazing party by Bali Catering Company.
Shaun & Taeri are a modern couple but they weren't afraid to mix contemporary styling with traditional touches in reference to their cultural heritages. For all those couples who want to step away from their cultural traditions at weddings, these guys show you how it is possible to blend the best of both worlds, and create a wedding that represents your own unique histories.
To Taeri, Shaun and your families, thank you for welcoming me into your lives for a weekend, and for entrusting Studio Impressions with the honour of capturing the moment you became husband and wife.
Pre-Wedding Photography – Bali
Nov 3rd
I was recently talking to a non-photographer friend of mine, and mentioned that I had been doing some pre-wedding shoots. They looked at me strangely & asked "what's that?". Do you mean engagement photos? It was one of those moments when I realised that not everyone lives and breathes weddings like I do, and many people don't really understand all the options available to a couple now. So what is the difference between an engagement shoot and a pre-wedding shoot?
Well the short answer is that a pre-wedding shoot is usually longer than the traditional engagement session and it usually involves a lot more planning, styling, locations and dresses. Sometimes more suits, but usually just more dresses. The traditional engagement portrait involves a short portrait session (around 1 hour long), and normally just one location. It is a great way for a couple to become comfortable in front of the camera. A pre-wedding shoot, can take 3 hours to a whole day. On a pre-wedding shoot, I will take the couple to a wide variety of locations and photograph them with many different looks (so lots of dresses). Doing a pre-wedding shoot is awesome fun. I love it. It is a great way to get to know the couple really well, and for them to become comfortable with me taking their photo. It is also a great way for them to get to spend a fun day together celebrating this big change in their lives, without all the pressures of the wedding day. Usually the photos are turned into a slideshow played on the wedding day or put on display at the wedding, and the couple get some gorgeous images to remember how they naturally are at this point in their lives. They can play with styling, props and themes, or they can just use the day to visit and record places special to them. A lot of couples like to visit beaches, or cafes or restaurants that played a specical part in their story, like their first date, or where she said "I love you", or where he proposed. I also love it when we extend the shoot to include one of the pre-wedding celebrations like the rehearsal dinner, because I get to meet family and friends too. When this happens I always find that I get even better images at the wedding. I know who is who before the day, but I have also learned a little more about them and can anticipate those touching moments even more easily. I just know that it is a privilege to get to photograph couples and their families not just at their wedding, but when they are relaxed and simply being themselves.
Here are some of the pre-wedding portraits I photographed for a fantastic couple recently, taken in and around Alila Villas Soori in Bali. Hope you love them.
Byron Bay Wedding – Deux Belettes – Felicity & Damien
Oct 10th
Posted by Penny J Williams in Weddings
I swear that Marcus falls in love with every couple he meets. For as long as he has been photographing weddings, he has come home with stories about how lovely the couple were, usually saying something like they "were the nicest people" or "it was such a beautiful day" and he genuinely means it, every weekend. This is how I know that he is doing what he was meant to do in life. He loves the photography, but more than that he loves the people. Later in the week, I get to see the photos, often over his shoulder late at night as he works through them into the wee morning hours. That's when he tells me some more stories from the day and that is when I can tell by the look on his face how much he enjoyed photographing that wedding. Sometimes, in these moments, he shows me a wedding that is more than just beautiful, it actually moves me, and I am touched by the way he truly sees people. The images make me laugh, they make me cry, they make me go aaawww, in that way that only girls can. I'm not a very romantic person. In our relationship, that person is Marcus. So when I react like that, I know that the people in this wedding really were "the nicest people", and they really do have something special. I can see it in their images. No, I can feel it.
Felicity & Damien, your wedding has secretly made me cry happy tears, laugh out loud and smile a great big happy smile. The way you look at each other, the way that you laugh with your friends, the strength of the touch from your parents, how you make fun of yourselves, and the way you included Lola the french bulldog in your day – it all represents something remarkable. Cherish what you have for it is precious indeed.
Felicity and Damien were married at the gorgeous Deux Belettes in Byron Bay. He wore impeccable Wil Valour and she was a vision in DARB Bridal Couture. Damien used to drive racing cars professionally, and now works for V8 Supercars, where he met Felicity. Their love of racing cars making subtle appearances in their wedding. If you look closely you will notice the flowers on the tables aren't housed in ordinary vases – what better way to use your racing trophies – flower vessels on your wedding day.
Felicity and Damien, thank you for choosing Studio Impressions to share your wedding day. Marcus & I would wish you a love that lasts forever, except that it is obvious – you already have it.
Lake Como Italy Wedding Villa del Balbianello- Laura & Jehan
Sep 19th
All weddings are enjoyable. Honestly they are. That's one of the reasons I do what I do. But some weddings, they are an experience. The people, the place, the emotion, fills your senses. Being a photographer becomes the absolute best job in the world.
Truly a couple of the world, Laura & Jehan, who reside in New York City, asked me to photograph their wedding in one of their favourite places, Lake Como, Italy. Sure, I think I can do that. I was pretty pleased when I saw where they were getting ready, two epic locations, the impressive Grand Hotel Tremezzo and the spectacular Villa Del Balbianello . They had the help of local wedding planners "The Lake Como Wedding Planner". The team were incredible and made the day magical and smooth sailing.
But the absolute best thing about this wedding was the love between Laura & Jehan and the incredible connections they had with all their family and friends. I'm not sure that either of them noticed the spectacular views. They were too busy looking at each other. See what I mean, filled my senses.
Thank you Laura & Jehan and all your wonderful friends and family, for welcoming me into your lives for a short time, and for giving me and experience to remember.
Sunshine Coast Hinterland Wedding – Laura & Nicholas
Aug 22nd
Posted by Penny J Williams in Weddings
Some weddings just grab you by the heart strings and pull tight. This is one of them. There's something about the simplicity of Laura & Nicholas' Maleny Manor wedding. Maybe it was just something about the way they looked at each other all day. Or maybe it was they way they touched each other slightly, gently, often. Or maybe it was all these things combined. Whatever it was it reminds me what a wedding is all about. What love is all about. How good it feels.
Thank you Laura & Nicholas for choosing Studio Impressions to photograph your wedding, for showing with the simplest of gestures how you honestly feel about each other, and letting our very talented (and a little sentimental) Adam Finch capture it in these images. (Laura's dress was by Maggie Sottero and those gorgeous flowers Mondo Floral Designs)

We thought you might like to see some of the behind-the-scenes fun from the shoot.
We were lucky to secure the fantastic Gallery of Modern Art and even luckier to have them open sections of the Gallery that you don't usually get to photograph in. I LOVE this space. I spend my spare time at this gallery wandering, relaxing, gathering inspiration from the art, from the vision of the artists and from the beauty of the space. I love photographing weddings here and I absolutely loved doing this shoot of the gorgeous Michaela from Vivien's Model Management.
Helena Couture Designs/ were responsible for the amazing gowns Michaela wore and the fantastic Kim Snare provided hair & makeup. Queensland Brides is featuring some pretty amazing styling in this edition and this shoot was put together by one of the best stylists around, Brendan from Styled Events. Valiant Hire provided the chair featured on the cover and Nicole at Stem Design worked her usual floral magic. The cool place cards, menus – Cara Marie from Invitation Station/Cara Marie Designs.
Aurelie & I had a great time working with everyone and doing something special for the team at Queensland Brides. Thanks Heaps QB!
