In today's digital world I feel that it's important that the books, prints and wall portraits that I create are designed to last a lifetime. I hope they help you relive precious moments and bring you joy each and every day.
A corporate or executive style portrait or headshot may not be on everyone's bucket list -- but it should be. Next time you google yourself, click on the images tab. Like what you see? Do you think that a perspective employer won't do the same thing? If all of the images that come up are your late night party shots from facebook, then perhaps you should think about an update! Your headshots do not have to be stuffy or super conservative -- the trend is clearly going more casual -- but they need to be sharp, well lit and professional. We shoot hundreds of business portraits and executive headshots every year, so we know how to help you get the desired results. We often do large and small groups on site, too, so if you have a group give us a call for a quote!

LIGHTING. Avoid what photographer's call FLAT lighting. Think passport photo. The background should appear to be at least partially in shadow, and one side of your face should appear slightly brighter than the other – which adds depth and a look of quality to the image. 2. BACKGROUND. What's behind you can make a statement. If you can possibly avoid the vague-mottled-brush-stroke-in-no-particular-color type of background you'll be taking a giant step in the right direction. Lots of headshots now are done in natural light, in offices or lobbies where there are subtle architectural features and gentle reflective surfaces. A solid neutral gray paper ...
The old saying about 'never getting a second chance to make a first impression' could never be more true. Headshots are used for not only your business website but Linked In, Plaxo, Yelp, facebook, match.com, eharmony and everything in between. It's almost like we don't meet each other in person any more! Be sure your image is consistent and professional in ALL those places. Don't assume that your mom's snapshot in front of the Christmas tree is going to impress anyone --no matter how thin you look. Get it done right and you'll never have to worry about it six months from now when you decide to start job hunting. You never know who might be looking!We specialize in headshots for professionals. Our turnaround time is about 24 hours and we make it as painless as sipping a latte at Starbucks, so don't delay. It's a great investment of your time. Natural light is the newest most natural look for your people -- we can work with your communications people, your PR firm or your web designer. And if you are ALL of those things, we can help you figure out what you need. Your environment or our studio, either way you win.

Metro Starts Lock Out of Fare Evaders

The free ride ended for patrons of the Metro Red and Purple subway lines Wednesday when gates were latched at Union Station, requiring riders to have train fare loaded on a TAP card.
The Metro train system has been operating primarily on the honor system. Riders of the subway and light rail lines are required to have a TAP — or Transit Access Pass — card loaded with the appropriate fare, but there have been no latched gates for passengers to pass through.
With gates being latched Wednesday, riders who board the Red and Purple line trains at Union Station will have to "tap" the cards at the gate to gain access to the subways.
Riders could face fines of up to $250 if they're caught on a train without proof of fare payment.
A host of local officials, including County Supervisor and Metro board Chairman Mike Antonovich, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Metro CEO Art Leahy, took part in a news conference at Union Station to spread word of the change.
Gates at the 15 other Red and Purple line stations will be latched over the course of the summer. Gates at Gold, Green and Blue line stations could be latched beginning in the fall, according to Metro.
Eventually, 41 of Metro's 81 rail stations will have latched gates. Some light rail station are too small to accommodate latching gates, so fare inspectors and sheriff's deputies will still be on patrol to ensure riders are paying their way, according to the transit agency.
Metro officials said latching the gates will reduce fare evasion to the tune of $6 million to $9 million a year. They also hope the move will encourage people to purchase TAP cards, which cost $1 and can be reloaded. Train fares are $1.50 for a single ride, or $5 for a day pass. Monthly and weekly passes are also available.
TAP cards can also be used for fare on Montebello, Santa Clarita, Antelope Valley, Culver City, Gardena, Norwalk and Foothill Transit systems. Metro officials said 15 more transit agencies – including in Long Beach and Santa Monica – will begin accepting TAP cards over the next year.

As we now know, a British and a French nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarines collided in the Atlantic earlier this month. Amazingly, the first newspaper to report the incident and to prompt the official admission of the accident was The Sun tabloid. The Royal Navy said that the subs "came into contact at very low speeds", calling the incident a "fender bender".
The reality is that the 138-meter Le Triomphant-class (specs) sideswiped the 150-meter Vanguard-class (specs) moving in the opposite direction. Both subs were built in 1990s, had nuclear reactors onboard and carried 16 nuclear SLBMs. They avoided a direct head-on collision by just a few meters. In other words, they got very lucky.

I have never slept in a bivy sac before and was wondering if you can (comfortably) sleep on your stomach or side, or do you have to stay on your back only? If you sleep without your face up, will the bivy collect condensation on the inside? Thanks.
You can usually sleep comfortably on your side or stomach; it depends a lot on how tightly the bivy is cut. For example, I found the REI Minimalist to be snugger than the Integral Designs Salathe. While I could sleep on my side in the Minimalist, the Salathe was a little looser and easier in which to do that.I've never had any problems with condensation sleeping on my side in the bivy. However, I've never slept in it that way when it was fully closed: there's always been a fair amount of ventilation (especially with the Salathe.) Even in the rain, I've never closed it up completely since I use a small tarp, too.

Rebellion: PS4/XB1 Distance Closing
We recently had the opportunity to interview Rebellion, the UK based development team behind the Sniper Elite series. Other than talking about Sniper Elite 3, the latest installment released just a few days ago, we asked their opinion on the recent Xbox One SDK update that unlocked 10% of the GPU (previously reserved for Kinect); they said that it should help close the gap with PlayStation 4, and it's likely that the game will be patched on Xbox One to reflect this boost.
It's a bit hard to tell right now – although there will of course be a little boost straight away – we should be supporting this in the future in Sniper Elite 3. In the end, just like last generation, it's not just about the hardware – it's about the tools, guidance and support you get from the platform holder that makes a huge difference, and I think it's safe to say the distance is closing.
They also claimed to be happy about how Sniper Elite 3 turned out on all platforms, noting that Xbox One users may experience some additional screen tearing but there's an option to lock the frame rate at 30FPS to avoid it.
I'm not sure we ever claimed the frame rate would be locked, but we have achieved regular performance at 60FPS at native 1080p on both, so we're pretty proud of that effort and our in house engine team should be praised with what they've pulled off when you think it outclasses some multi-platform games from much larger studios. Players experience maybe a little more screen tear on the Xbox One but both consoles can lock the frame rate at 30 to cut that out. Overall, for a game on five platforms we're pretty happy.
Perhaps there won't be a need to use the frame rate lock@30FPS to avoid tearing after the patch. Check back on Monday for the full interview!

I just got a message from TiVo about a free service that is now part of my regular TiVo subscription. Pandora is an Internet radio service that is now available to TiVo users with TiVo HD, HD XL, Series3™, Premiere and Premiere XL boxes.
It only took a few minutes to set up Pandora on my TiVo and I was quite happy with how it works and looks. One of the things that I really liked seeing is that Pandora displays album art. Other services that I've seen do not include this feature.
Pandora allows users to set up radio stations based on the artists and styles of music that they like. To test the service, I created a station based on Pet Shop Boys. I then clicked the "thumbs up" button for a few songs that I liked and now Pandora has been serving up songs that I like for about 30 minutes.
My only complaint is that I would like the album art to be larger. There is a lot of wasted space on my TV screen and I would rather have it filled with the album cover than all of those blue pixels. At least Pandora gives me something to look at instead of just the artist name and song title. Being able to identify the album is a big plus.

Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy calls out defenses during practice May 2, 2009.
- Filed Under
Detroit Lions middle linebacker DeAndre Levy said today he'll undergo surgery sometime this off-season to repair the groin injury that has nagged him since August.
Levy missed five games with groin and ankle injuries in the season's first two months but has played the eight games since the Lions' bye at varying degrees of effectiveness. In last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Levy made a season-high 11 tackles. Asked how much pain he has been playing with, Levy said, "That's part of the game." "You get the right pills and stuff like that and shots, you'll be all right," he said. "Just ...

I really enjoy being outdoors. I like to run, bike, swim. I even did a few triathlons before I had my kids. I would love to do them again. I've been eyeballing Tough Mudder and Spartan races as well. Earlier this year, I got into Team Beachbody workouts. Think P90x, Insanity. I even started coaching on the side for them. Think you can keep up? -)
I am very playful enjoying a flirtatious wrestling match or some witty banter. I am extremely loyal to those I care about. My friends tell me that I am very calm and easy to be around. Men have referred to me as the "cool girl". I am assuming that's a good thing. I am very social yet can enjoy a relaxing evening at home watching movies and snuggling on the couch.
My family is very important to me. We are very close. Holiday time is my favorite because everybody is there. I host our annual Hanukkah party in my home.

Hypnotherapy is an ancient science that is finding a new and growing niche in modern Holistic Therapy practices, and is becoming an established
'therapeutic technique'. Hypnotherapy is valuable in treating a very wide range of psychological and medical conditions.
About the Course
This foundation course in Hypnotherapy, takes the student from the 'historic use of hypnosis', up to present day practice, in today's professional
Complementary Therapy environment. Hypnotherapy is covered from basic introduction to hypnosis and the nature of the hypnotic trance
condition, to an understanding of how to induce, deepen and release a person from the trance state. The use of 'suggestion hypnotherapy', also
simple basic 'Hypno-analysis' is introduced. The application of hypnotherapy to a wide range of conditions is covered, and the purpose, design,
and use, of hypnotherapy scripts are included.
The intended outcome of this course of study is twofold, the first outcome is that the successful student should be able to commence in practice
with a firm foundation of basic knowledge. The second outcome is that this firm foundation may be used as the basis for further advanced study
with the SNHS courses in "Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy" and in "Medical Hypnotherapy".
Who should take this Course?
The course is completely stand alone and is aimed at students who wish to obtain competence in a practical and effective therapy. No previous

another effective treatment technique to their existing practice.
