Here is a lovely set of images taken from the wedding of Sam & Krzysztof at Buxted Park Hotel recently. I wasn't going to let the rain stop me getting some great photographs, and thanks to the shelter provided behind the pillars, we had plenty of natural light to play with. When the rain eased, we slipped over to the pond for a shot or two there. I even set up some off camera flash behind them for that extra kick of light. Later in the evening we popped out again, briefly as it was freezing! These are just a few of the couple portraits from the wedding day, to see more just hop over to the website.

Alex & Jo – Wedding Photography at Buxted Park Hotel
Here are a few shots from the wedding of Alex & Jo who were married at Buxted Park Hotel. I provided coverage of their special day from arrivals through to the speeches. We had a lovely day, mostly dry with only a light shower here and there. The beauty of Buxted Park is the abundance of sheltered locations to escape the rain!
Alex & Jo – Pre Wedding Shoot – Buxted Park
On Saturday I met up with Alex and Jo for their pre wedding photo session at Buxted Park. Yet again heavy rain, in fact some hail stones thrown in too! but after a quick catch up in the bar, it all cleared away in time for the shoot. Here is a short video from the session…
Buxted Park Wedding Photographers Sussex
I recently had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Emily & Tom who were married at the wonderful Buxted Park Hotel, Uckfield, East Sussex. I love shooting there as no matter what the weather, there is always somewhere to take the photos. I began the day with Emily getting ready, then moved on to photograph Tom and the guys, the ceremony, groups and portraits. I stayed with them to finish photographing the speeches before leaving them to enjoy the evening celebrations. Here is one from the day, slideshow coming soon.

Buxted Park Wedding photography
Last week I photographed the wedding of Suzanne and Chris at Buxted Park Hotel. What a great day and a great couple too. The weather was up and down which meant we had a good mix of sunshine and stormy looking clouds, which make great photos! and it stayed dry too. I began coverage with Suzanne getting ready and stayed with them through to the evening reception. This time I decided to get with the times and post a slideshow preview of the day rather than a small selection of shots… Hope you like them!

HUNDREDS of people attended the unveiling of a statue of a Merseyside-born prime minister.
The bust of William Gladstone was unveiled at Our Lady Star Of The Sea church in Seaforth on Saturday after a long campaign by historian Brenda Murray, 89.
Birkenhead MP Frank Field, who unveiled the statue, described the event as "one of the most staggering days" of his political career.
He said: "There was such an excitement and buzz there and it was all because of the huge drive and vision of Brenda Murray. I was amazed by how many people turned up – it was packed. There were huge numbers of supporters.
"I am still absolutely buzzing from the event. It was extraordinary and could not have been a more exciting day."
Gladstone, the only man to be prime minister four times, lived in Seaforth from 1813 to 1830.
Mrs Murray, who received a British Empire Medal for services to heritage and history in the New Year's Honours list, told the ECHO she hoped the statue would mark Seaforth out as a tourist attraction.
She said: "I think a lot of people will come from outside the area will come to see this, especially because we have the Gormley sculptures just half a mile away which are extremely popular.
"This is not the end of our campaign. We want everybody to love Seaforth and appreciate the fact it produced such a successful prime minister."
The 6ft monument was created by sculptor Tom Murphy, with the pedestal and engraving done by John Smith of Crosby Memorials.
Mr Murphy said: "My job is to provide the best portrait I can and what I wanted was for everyone to see his great intelligence.
"What is exciting as a sculptor is that you are the last link to that dead person – the bit before the full stop providing a sort of life after death."
The bust looks out onto the former site of St Thomas's Church, built by Gladstone's father John and demolished in 1980.
At the age of nine Gladstone wrote in his diary that he hoped his father would bequeath the church to him because he loved it so much.
The £25,000 statue was paid for with a combination of Mrs Murray's fundraising efforts and £10,000 of Heritage Lottery cash.

Enforcement-related penalties plummeted in fiscal 2009
U.S. EPA during the first year of the Obama administration saw deep declines in the amount of penalties assessed against polluters and pounds of pollution slashed through enforcement activities compared with the previous year, according to data released by the agency last month.
In fiscal 2009, EPA enforcement required polluters to invest more than $5 billion on cleanup and emission controls, a drop from about $11.8 billion the previous year. Defendants in EPA enforcement cases committed to reduce pollution by about 580 million pounds annually in 2009, which fell from 3.9 billion pounds in 2008.
Some enforcement efforts rose in 2009, EPA said, including the numbers of criminal cases opened, criminal fines collected and cash secured to clean up Superfund sites.
Enforcement numbers can vary significantly from year to year, the agency said, and depend upon the number of large cases that settle. Nearly half the pollution reductions in 2008 were the result of an enforcement action taken against a coal-fired electric utility, American Electric Power Co. Inc., for one of the largest historical environmental settlements.
Under that settlement, AEP agreed to reduce air pollution by 1.6 billion pounds, pay a $15 million penalty and spend $60 million on cleanup projects. EPA estimated that the company would pay more than $4.6 billion to comply with the terms of the consent decree (Greenwire, Oct. 9, 2007).
John Walke, clean air director at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the AEP settlement was the most obvious explanation for the decline in 2009. "The lower figures were probably a source of some chagrin, but I think there were real explanations -- at least as far as air enforcement is concerned -- relating to some historic settlements that you had last year that were not replicated this year," he said.
Excluding the 2008 data, the 2009 enforcement numbers are still below the average numbers achieved in previous years. Between 2004 and 2007, settlements required polluters to invest an average of $8.3 billion in pollution cleanup and controls each year, and defendants committed to reduce pollution by about 970 million pounds annually.
Other factors were also likely contributors to the decline, said Granta Nakayama, the EPA enforcement chief during the George W. Bush administration, including a delay in confirming a new enforcement chief and an emphasis on targeting smaller polluters over environmental justice concerns.
President Obama nominated Cynthia Giles to lead the agency's enforcement office in March, but she was not confirmed by the Senate until May. Without having a political appointee in place, Nakayama said, defendants are generally less willing to settle, because they want to know who is in charge before reaching an agreement.
Another possible factor is the Obama administration's emphasis on prioritizing environmental justice in its enforcement efforts, Nakayama said. While that is an important goal, he said, focusing on community-based issues may not result in tackling the biggest polluters and can result in fewer pounds of pollution reductions.
EPA said in a statement that although the large enforcement cases are a vital part of its work, "the vast majority of smaller, local cases we do -- to protect drinking water, to reduce air pollution locally, to clean up waste sites -- are not only essential to the health and vitality of communities, but also demonstrate that the EPA cop is on the beat."
The fact that the numbers are down at EPA should not be an indictment, Nakayama said, but he noted that it was interesting that the agency released the numbers on Dec. 23, in the thick of the pre-Christmas rush. Under his watch, he said, the numbers were released in mid-November every year.

With National Storytelling Week in full swing, what better time to switch off and get lost in a new read?
To help you get started, Greenwich Shopping Park, off Bugsby's Way in Charlton, shares this year's top three reads from the Richard and Judy range, exclusive to WHSmith.
Gold by Chris Cleave
Last summer's extraordinary Olympic dream has left many in an afterglow of wonder. How did those athletes do it? How did they summon almost superhuman strength, powering through agonising exhaustion to ultimate glory?
Gold by Christ Cleave is about the limits of human endurance, both physical and emotional. It's about what drives us to succeed, and what we choose to sacrifice for success. Chris Cleave has been with the cyclists in the Velodromes and his resulting novel is a heart-bursting tale of heroism.
Jasmine Nights by Julia Gregson
Jasmine Nights is an exciting love story set during the Second World War.
Saba, a half-Turkish, half-Welsh teenager from Tiger Bay in Cardiff is a talented singer who joins ENSA, performing for the troops in Cairo and later Instanbul. Saba encounters spies as well as soldiers throughout this tale of decadence and destruction, of love and of danger.
Jasmine Nights is a marvellous adventure, full of exotic colour and fascinating characters.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce
Harold Fry, a shy, retired office worker, finds himself walking the length of England in a pilgrimage to save an old friend.
Without a map, rucksack, or even a plan, Harold's motivation is just a simple faith in the importance of his odyssey. Described as 'impossible to put down', Rachel Joyce's novel is charming and utterly uplifting.

This is what I'm currently doing. I was going to wait until 11/11 and buy Skyrim, but I had a weak moment and picked up Battlefield 3 for the PC last week. Everything you see in this video is actual gameplay. The multiplayer is that insane. It's not to say I've had some issues getting to that point with server disconnects and game crashes, but overall it's not that bad. They've fixed a lot of the issues recently. I had a good run last night.
If you're also playing on the PC, look me up on Origin/Battlelog. It's more fun the

A Letter To My Shoes
When I got you, it was January 2012.
In what can only be described as a momentary lapse in sanity, I had signed up for a small triathlon at Raby Bay the following month and my current pair of cheap $10 Kmart shoes just weren't cutting it for running.
Now that I think of it, that momentary lapse in sanity began way back even before Boxing Day (when I agreed to do the triathlon) it had started on November 15th 2011 when I just stopped drinking "as much" Coke as I did and tried out my parent's hired walking machine.
You changed that.
You cost more than the entire amount I have ever spent on shoes in my entire adult life. I wish that was an exaggeration but I am a creature of the $10 cheapies. To justify spending that much on you meant I had to go from "trying something" to "getting fit". You made what I was doing legitimate. While I would never BE a runner, I was now a runner with proper running shoes.
And so it began.
I ran. I cycled. For a month I trained my little heart out.
As the triathlon approached, I faced something I had never done before, wore you without socks. I am a sock man. I need socks so my feet don't sweat and my baby-like skin doesn't blister up like a well grilled cheese melt. I put baby powder in you and slide my foot in. Weird man, just weird.
Then, the morning of the triathlon. I came out of the swim breathing so hard my chest was about to rip apart and the lack of circulating blood meant my head was a washing machine. I bent down to put you on and I stumbled. I had practise putting you on dozens of time in "transition training" but this was different.
The laces.
I couldn't do the laces up in my state, so I fumbled until I got what would loosely be called a knot, grabbed the bike and headed out. The next day, I went and bought you some stretchy elastic laces that don't need tying up.
So, there we were. Exhusted. Insane. Done.
But we did that.
Then, for some reason, we signed up for the short Gold Coast Triathlon. Double the distance. Once again, we trained like mad for the 2 months before the day. Lots of riding, running, walking, limping, crying and resting.
But we did that too.
We both know that running wasn't ever going to be my thing. You stopped being my running shoe and became my doing shoe. As our training progressed, my love of road biking emerged, and you accompanied me on many adventures. The epic 9 hour, 150km ride to Nudgee Beach and back was a highlight. When I lifted weights, I also put you on, even in the living room. To put you on meant I was out to achieve some level of something.
As winter gave way to summer, we started triathlon training again. 4 in total. 3 small Raby Bay triathlons and the granddaddy full distance Gold Coast Triathlon.
We started a serious 5km running program but just 6 weeks before the GC, shin splints struck in my right leg. Not a fault of yours, just one of those things to happen to anyone, no matter the cost of their shoes.
On the day of the race, the 5km run was excruciating. We shuffled along the Gold Coast Highway. Even as people were packing up their tents and walking home, we still pounded away. Coming in last in almost every measure, including the 3rd last person on the course.
But, we did that too.
That was followed by OxFam TrailWalker. 100km bushwalk, along with all the trial walks, was probably going to be too much for you, so I bought a cheap pair of hiking boots. I still wore you for training on the bike and the occasional street stroll but the boots would do the heavy lifting. During the event, in a moment of inspiration, I swapped those boots out for you for the last 1/3 of the 100km and you got me home. You were light, flexible and comfy. A small respite from 41 hours of feet torture.
But we did that too.
Truth be told, essentially, you were rested in the paddock for a specific reason. Tough Mudder.
Tomorrow, you and I will take on the Tough Mudder Sunshine Coast event. 17km. 18 obstacles. Mud.
They say "this is where all shoes go to heaven". That doesn't sound good. From all reports, while you may still remain on my feet, you may not function as a pair of shoe tomorrow night. I have very mixed feelings about this.
For the past 18 months, you have represented what we have achieved. Movement. Adventure. Weight loss. Life gain. When you get put on, it's business time. I could probably afford a new pair, but no amount of money will buy what has been invested in you.
So tonight, my trusted friend, I will give you a final clean, pack you up and prepare for one last hoorah.
For we will do that too.
"scientia potentia est"… mmmm Sir Francis Bacon
I was struck by something this morning. I was updating some info on our team site and I saw an OxFam banner on the page that said "$20 is enough to buy a blackboard to improve the quality of education for children in Cambodia."
$20 gets a blackboard for a classroom full of kids to expand their minds and explore the knowledge of the world. When I think back to all the things that now swim around in my head that were introduced to me with chalk at the front of the classroom, the power of that surface can't be underestimated.
"scientia potentia est" (knowledge is power) – Sir Francis Bacon
"The power is YOURS!" – Captain Planet
Poverty Sucks. Insane Walk. Kick Ass
Poverty sucks.
To counter that suckiness, me and three noble gents plan to do something that's an equal portion of epic and insane.
The 2013 OxFam Trailwalker Brisbane:
100km within 48 hours from Mt Glorious, through the D'Aguilar National Park, to Mt Coot-tha…
(I guess that's kinda insane).
No, scrub that… We're gonna do it in 25 hours.
(Now THAT'S more like it!)
We'd love it if you'd help us in this endeavour with a donation to our fund raising effort.
In summary: Poverty sucks. Insane long walk. Let's kick ass.

Johnny Goes To Soundwave Brisbane
So I went to Soundwave Brisbane 2011. That's right, the fat bearded geek went to Soundwave.
First off, big thanks to the guys from Eden Must Burn for the invite. Rad gents all of them… and major props to Liz for driving. There is a reason I'm a fan of these people, and it goes way beyond their music.
So, classic fish out of water scenario. I've never been to a festival, let alone one which, from the line-up, was a few notches above my usual play list. I went in with an open mind and I left with a head full of tunes and a happy iTunes account.
Oh, yeah, and my camera is still broken, so I took my little Lumix. The photographic adventure is below:
Epic band. I knew the EMB guys were a fans but listening to their album I didn't get it. Then I saw them live and it clicked.
Bullet For My Valentine:
Way outside my usual play list… but I give them major props for the energy in their stage show.
Enough said.
30 Seconds To Mars:
My biggest Hmmmm. I didn't like them for so many years. Then Closer To The Edge came out. My walls were tested until they collapsed. What a stage presence. Props to the dude behind me who was uber excited to see Jared Leto… My butt crack will call you.
Coheed and Cambria:
THE. BAND. OF. THE NIGHT. I'm in, in a big bad way.
In summary. Rad day. The music was rad, the company was radder… The fucking $11 hamburger was raddist…

A Straight Guy's Thought On Why Calling It Marriage (or Married) Matters
After hearing far too many people on talk-back radio call in and sound off about gay marriage, I thought I might share my thoughts.
First off, I'm a human. Secondly, I have a wonderful wife and a gorgeous daughter so I guess that makes me 'straight'. Just to get it outta the way, despite the fact my wife has a vagina and I have a penis was a factor in my attraction to her, but I rank that low in importance along with her ability to give good back scratches. I love her on so many levels far beyond a sexual one.
So, what's in a name?
A lot.
In this whole debate, I am bombarded with the 'feel good compromise' that "you can call it anything, just don't call it marriage". While that is kinda generous, it misses the point. Essentially, the word 'marriage' is important, but in my opinion, it is secondary to the word 'married'.
In many anti-gay marriage minds, the phrase 'gay marriage' is locked into the distorted image of two guys or two girls standing in a church or the steps of the courthouse, kissing, 'fighting the power' and generally hamming it up for the cameras.
While the mass media feeds on this, like most weddings, the opening performance bears small resemblance to the run of the season. 'Married' doesn't start on the wedding day, it starts the day after, once the confetti has been swept away and hang-overs treated with aspirin.
'Married' is about committing two things into one entity. It's about teamwork. It's living under one roof. It's compromise. It's paying bills. It's dealing with in-laws. It's getting the car fixed. It's squashing spiders. It's fighting over the remote. It's 'are you drinking at your work party and do you want me to drive'. It's the getting of sick buckets at 2am when you're half asleep and likely to snap but you just want to make your partner feel well. It's back scratches. It's fights. It's pressure. It's forgetting stuff. It's birthdays. It's anniversaries. It's home-cooked meals. It's fighting over bed sheets. It's sitting in your office wishing to be only one place, the front door the second after you walk in and see your partner. It's life. It's sitting next to a hospital bed. It's burying your soul mate. It's finding a way to keep going without them.
Imagine if I was to meet you on the street and we began to speak. In conversation you mentioned you were 'married', all those things I just listed and more would be an instant context point. Unspoken understanding and experiences immediately kick in and a certain language can be spoken.
The phrase "we are married" is so heavy and filled with meaning. It cuts across language, race, geography, religion and socioeconomic levels. To suggest that GLBT people 'are allowed' to have those experiences as long as they refer to it as something different seems to me to question the validity of those experiences.
The meaning of the word marriage and married goes far beyond any church steps or courthouse steps. It defines the joining of two people together, bound by love and moving forward with shared experiences. It has wide ranging effects in law, life and society.
Who am I to deny the right of law to someone whose sexual orientation does not match my own?
Who am I to deny the same social context?
Who am I to deny how someone else loves another?
Who am I to deny love?
So, YES to 'gay marriage'… and call it marriage… cause that will lead to 'gay married'… and then it can all just be called 'married'. Maybe then we can get back to what really defines a marriage… Love.

How To Be A Better Kisser (From A Man's Perspective)
You know how the Possom, the Kangal Fish, and the Rattlesnake are among the worst things a guy can do while kissing? Well, believe it or not, men also have preferences when it's time to pucker up. These tips really aren't difficult to incorporate into your kissing routine, so you'll be new and improved by Valentine's Day.1. Pause before you go for the smooch. A well-timed pause before a kiss will increase the passion flowing between the two of you. And you'll be able to savor the moment a little more.
2. Lean to the right; that way, you don't risk bumping heads or some other awkward moment.
3. Close your eyes because most people look really funny when they're kissing. If you kiss and peep, he might get the impression that you're sizing him up, which will lead him to be self-conscious.
4. When it comes to kissing, nothing is sexier than a confident and firm, not overly aggressive woman, so take the lead.
5. "Just lip-to-lip contact is the missionary position of kissing," said one of the men interviewed. Your hands should definitely get in on the action. It shows you're enjoying yourself and are almost uncontrollable.

Factors Associated with late HIV Testing for Latinos Diagnosed with AIDS in Los Angeles
Date(s) - Feb 5, 2009
St. Anne's Conference Center
Amy R. Wohl, Ph.D.
Hosted by the Los Angeles Collaborative HIV/AIDS Public Health Research Center :
Latinos are more likely to test late for HIV infection compared to other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. A population-based interview study was used to examine factors associated with late HIV testing for Latinos diagnosed with AIDS in Los Angeles County (LAC) to develop more effective HIV testing outreach strategies. Latinos testing for HIV within one year of an AIDS diagnosis were considered late testers, while those diagnosed with AIDS more than one year after an HIV diagnosis were defined as non-late testers. After adjusting for age, education, country of birth and injection drug use in a logistic regression analysis, completion of the interview in Spanish was the main factor associated with late testing. Latinos testing late for HIV were also more likely to test due to illness and less likely to test as part of a clinical screening. Late testers were more likely to receive their first positive HIV test as a hospital inpatient and less likely to test positive at a community health center or public clinic. To accomplish widespread and timely HIV testing for Latinos in LAC, Spanish-language social marketing campaigns are needed and Spanish-speaking patients should be offered HIV testing in all clinical settings.
Dr. Wohl will address the relevance of these findings to the priority populations and risk factors in the 2009-2013 Los Angeles County HIV Prevention Plan.

Liposuction or Tummy Tuck??
- misspak
- Elmont, NY
- Last updated: 6 years ago
I need to get rid of this stomach, it's not bad but i had a baby 10 years ago that left me with the famous "pouch!" I'm not sure if I should get lipo or a tummy tuck. When I went for a consultation they recommended lipo on the top and bottom abs, as well as the side love handles. However, my aunt had liposuction done and her results are not even noticable, meaning no results! She said it's not guaranteed....I don't know what to do now, I was so excited to get lipo but if it's not going to work I'll just die. Should I get a tummy tuck instead?

Hello Everyone,
A big and exciting weekend. The Gibraltar LCC finally came home and installed!!! Now, I am awaiting the colder weather now!
A BIG THANKS to coal berner for showing me (and answering all my dumb questions) his knowledge of coal, and mind you he is a walking book of coal! Again, thanks!
I have the stove pipe all cut and know just awaiting to set it in place and seal it. I was just curious about what everyone else did with the seams on the stove pipe. Coal Berner stated to use the 3M Flue Tape, but I cannot find it anywhere and trust me I looked.
O well, can't wait to get the 1st and only fire going soon!

Iowa is what Michigan wants to be like in Big Ten football
The following excerptĀfrom the Wednesday column of the Detroit Free Press' Mitch Albom means nothing more than what it says. It isn't saying Kirk Ferentz is a candidate for the Michigan football coaching opening. Here it is, then we'll proceed:
But (Michigan Athletic Director Dave) Brandon, in addition to chuckling over Harbaugh, also admitted:
1) He wants a man with head coaching experience, not some promising assistant. 2) He's willing to pay top dollar, something new for Michigan. 3) He doesn't mind taking some coach away from some other school.
"No," he said, when I posed that point-blank. "I've had that done to me. I have 27 other sports. ... The idea of schools coming after coaches is not a new concept."
This means people like Les Miles are on the board, despite his status at LSU. So, in theory, is Kirk Ferentz at Iowa, despite a contract to 2020, and so, in theory, is every coach in America, with or without a job.
That's a lot of candidates.
Ferentz's name was among the many tossed about three years ago before Michigan hired Rich Rodriguez to replace Lloyd Carr. Albom isn't saying Ferentz is a candidate now. Ferentz simply has a name and reputation that you use as a measuring stick. That reputationĀis golden in football circles. Which is something that serves the Iowa program very well.
Wednesday, as this Free Press story details,ĀBrandon listedĀwhat he called Michigan's red-letter games. Those are the onesĀagainst Notre Dame, Michigan State, Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Iowa, plus bowls.ĀWhat that means is Iowa is now regarded as Michigan's equal in Ann Arbor. That shouldn't enrage anyone in Hawkdom. This isn't a recent development. But it's interesting, I think, that the Michigan program -- still a national program, and still haughty despite its recent downturn -- publicly admits the Iowa game is "red-letter." It's definitely a compliment to the Hawkeyes and their leader.
Iowa's 8-5 record of 2010 was viewed nationally as a disappointment, and that's actually also a compliment. Ferentz's program has gotten toĀa place where people from well beyond Iowa have certain expectations for it.
Ferentz just finished his 12th season as Iowa's coach. Only seven FBS coaches (Joe Paterno of Penn State, Frank Beamer of Virginia Tech, Larry Blakeney of Troy, Bill Snyder of Kansas State, Chris Ault of Nevada, Pat Hill of Fresno State, Mack Brown of Texas) have been head coaches longer at their current schools. That counts for something. That has to matterĀin recruiting, where you don't have to explain who you are or where you've been, and you don't have to make promises about staying put. ("I've been at Iowa since you were in pre-school, young man.") Take away Paterno and Jim Tressel, and that 12 years is longer than any two other Big Ten coaches combined at their jobs.
We live in the present, and those November 2010 losses Iowa had are still as fresh as the winter air on the University of Iowa's Pentracrest. But fans of Michigan look at Iowa and see stability, what has become a decades-long extension of what Hayden Fry started over 30 years ago. Michigan fans, who take enormous pride in their program's tradition and trying to extend what Bo Schembechler molded into something proud and successful, probably see more of what they wantĀto be in Iowa these days than from theirĀown program.
This didn't happen overnight.ĀMichigan'sĀcoaching search will have some big names mentioned before the process is completed. If Ferentz is one of them -- and someone's bound to include him somewhere on the World Wide Web --Ā it's wishful thinking on someone's part. Don't sweat it, Iowa fans. It's a compliment.

text: ENDANGERING NATIONAL SECURITY SyndicatedNews NEWS, POLITICS, SCANDAL There are spies serving life sentences in federal prisons for endangering US national security with far lesser crimes than the danger created by Hillary Clinton's email conduct. PHILADELPHIA, PA – NOVEMBER 21: Hillary Clinton attends the 2013 Greenbuild Conference November 21, 2013 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Bill McCay/WireImage)The State Department admits that current Secretary of State John Kerry used a "non-official account" to send classified material to his predecessor Hillary Clinton, who was using an unsecure, off-the-books private server to handle her email.The latest twist in the Clinton email scandal is an email then-Senator Kerry sent in 2011, when he was the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, as described by The Hill:The message referenced India, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and was classified for containing information about foreign governments and U.S. foreign relations."We all know this will be a troubled relationship because that is it's [sic] nature," he wrote in one unredacted section. "But there are real possibilities at this moment to put options to the test."Kerry's email was classified at the "secret" level, which is a higher level than "confidential" but lower than "top secret"A note at the bottom of the message indicates that it was sent from Kerry's iPad.The Associated Press describes two more questionable Kerry emails:Another email that Kerry sent to Clinton on his iPad, from Aug. 28, 2012, was released in full on Friday with no redactions. Another email from Feb. 4, 2012, apparently not sent from Kerry's iPad, was classified in full at the "confidential" or lowest level.[State Department spokesman John] Kirby could not immediately say if either of those two messages were sent from Kerry's non-official account.Ronald Pelton convicted spy.That seems like an odd detail for the State Department spokesman to be unclear about. The originating account for an email is not difficult to view."There was no indication that the information in Kerry's email was considered classified at any level at the time it was sent or if Kerry, then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, would have considered it particularly sensitive," the AP adds. "Several hours after Kerry sent the email, Clinton forwarded it to a staffer with the instructions 'pls print.'"Ronald Pelton was charged with selling American secrets to the Soviet Union. Hillary Clinton did far more damage to US National Security when she arrogantly insisted on using a private email server that she kept in her home. That arrogance allowed any foreign country to access her server. Clinton however continues to display a "Let them eat cake," Marie Antoinette contempt. She does not really believe or accept that US law applies to her personally.According to Kirby, the non-official account Kerry employed to send these messages from his iPad is no longer active.The Washington Examiner notes these Kerry-Clinton emails were "included among a small batch of records made public by the State Department Friday."Before we even get into the "born classified" argument about foreign information, which would suggest some of these "retroactive" classifications aren't as retroactive as Administration apologists would like us to believe, we should note these emails are further evidence of Administration officials deliberately concealing the existence of Clinton's irregular email account.We've already seen documentation proving that President Obama lied when he claimed to be unaware of Clinton's homebrew email server – he sent numerous messages to the ClintonEmail.com address.Now we have documented proof that John Kerry knew about her email in 2011, when he was in the Senate… but the State Department under Secretary of State Kerry didn't admit the existence of Clinton's server, or any of her hidden emails, until forced to do so by the House Benghazi Committee.Somehow that very important detail gets overlooked in much of the media coverage of Clinton's email scandal. Her talking points about "voluntary disclosure" and "transparency" could not be more false. All of her email was deliberately hidden from Congress, the courts, and the American people. It required an active conspiracy by numerous State Department officials to hide her correspondence – they continually responded to legal requests for Clinton emails by claiming none existed, when they knew perfectly well that a vast trove of those emails was sitting on her private server.We didn't see a single one of her emails until long after Kerry took over as Secretary of State. Hillary Clinton never voluntarily disclosed a single one of those emails – she was forced to disclose them by the State Department, which was in turn forced to ask for them. It is now crystal clear that Clinton's successor as Secretary of State knew about her email server, but kept quiet, even as the Benghazi controversy raged. "Transparency" for this Administration is a childish game of hide-and-seek, while national security is an afterthought.In addition to the famed Clinton email scandal, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter caused some embarrassment for the Administration in December when it was discovered he was using a personal email account for official business during the first few months of his tenure. Carter admitted this was a "mistake" and stopped using the account after White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough found out about it, and told the White House Counsel's Office to contact the Defense Department.On Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent Carter a letter asking for more details about his use of private email, citing the Clinton case as a reason for increased concern about the threat of foreign hackers. Grassley said it was "troubling" that Carter continued using private email "even after the risks of private use were made clear when news of Secretary Clinton's use broke."Foreign intelligence agents will mourn the day the Obama Administration ends. They've never had it so easy before, and hopefully they never will again.SOURCE: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/03/kerry-used-private-email-to-send-classified-material-to-clinton/ NOTE: There are many people currently serving time in federal prisons for committing far less damage to U.S. National Security than Hillary Clinton has done with her email recklessness.

How do you break finger sucking?
My daughter sucks the two middle fingers on her left hand. She started about a month after she was born. She spit out her pacifier and since then, her fingers have been her way of self-soothing.
Now, at 17-months with a mouth full of teeth, her father is concerned. He sees braces in her future. And so the two battle it out over finger sucking. I've taken my daughter's side.
Funny thing is, if she whimpers at 3 a.m. and we hear that distinct finger-sucking sound amplified by the baby monitor, it's never a problem then.
Some doctors say finger sucking causes few problems until permanent teeth come in. Although I think it's cute and efficient now, I do not want to be the parent of a teenage or adult finger-sucker. I also have some concerns about germs. My daughter's been battling colds and sinus infections lately. Surely, those fingers in her mouth don't help.
So what to do? Every time my husband sees our daughter sucking her fingers, he pulls them out. She puts them right back in. For her, it's become a game. Random strangers and family members also think it appropriate to pull my girl's fingers out of her mouth. I want to pop them. Haven't they ever heard the axiom, "Look but don't touch?"
Me? I let my daughter soothe herself. It brings her comfort and a few moments of peace and quiet for me.
My hubby and I know we can't keep going on like this. We've got to put up a unified front. But on this issue, we're really divided. And that's no stand at all.
-- Sherri Day

On TV this week
SERIES FINALE Stargate Universe, 9 p.m., Syfy This episode was written before the show was canceled, making this a cliffhanger ending that really won't wrap up a whole lot. Maybe more of you should have watched, and then this wouldn't have happened.
Vanished With Beth Holloway, 10 p.m., Lifetime Natalee Holloway's mother channels John Walsh by helping other families who had a member turn up missing. It's kind of like America's Most Wanted, but with a lot less surveillance footage.
Taboo, 10 p.m., NatGeo This show probably won't top the all-out grossness of that adult baby episode, but now South Korea has rehab centers for video-game junkies. They're called jobs.
NCIS, 8 p.m., CBS The Port-to-Port killer may have infiltrated NCIS, which will save the show money on hiring a new member of the cast. Hint: You may want to question that new guy, Dexter What's-his-name.
The Biggest Loser, 8 p.m., NBC The contestants can get extra credit by playing the Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout video game. That doesn't offer them many escapist thrills.
How the States Got Their Shapes, 10 p.m., History Besides learning there was almost a state named Forgottonia, we find out Chicago almost ended up in Wisconsin instead of Illinois. That would have ruined the Green Bay rivalry.
SEASON FINALE Better With You, 8:30 p.m., ABC Oh, so we're going to go with the "let's hurry up and get married after the woman has gone into labor" storyline. How many shows have done that one already? We've lost count.
Modern Family, 9 p.m., ABC Cameron gets sick the day of the Lady Gaga concert, leaving Mitchell undecided about what to do. Girl, you know you need to throw some Tussin down his throat, get him dressed and get him out the door — don't be a drag, just be a queen!
Breaking In, 9:30 p.m., Fox Contra Security attempts to steal the Colonel's secret KFC recipe but fail, of course. They suspect it was a case of fowl play. (I'm so, so sorry for that one.)
SEASON FINALE Community, 8 p.m., NBC You know, every workplace staff should have a paintball tournament. Think of all the scores that could be settled once and for all on the field of battle.
SEASON FINALE CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, 9 p.m., CBS Langston catches up with the Dick & Jane Killer. It's almost as scary as Laurence Fishburne having to face shooting the two Matrix sequels (although nothing could be quite that bad).
SEASON FINALE Outsourced, 10:30 p.m., NBC Rajiv finds out his bride isn't who he thought she was. Turns out she's actually from Idaho and speaks Hindi with a really, really thick American accent.
Watch What Happens: Live, 11 p.m., Bravo You've all been wondering what Susan Lucci thinks about All My Children getting canceled. Now you can find out. Thanks, Andy Cohen!
SERIES FINALE Smallville, 8 p.m., CW It only took a decade, but it looks like Clark Kent is finally growing up, bringing this show to a close. But don't worry, the CW will reboot in a year or so, surely.
SEASON FINALE CSI: NY, 9 p.m., CBS Mac's near-death experience makes him determined to close his last unsolved case. The fact he only has one is proof this is just a TV show, because real cops have hundreds of cold cases.
SERIES PREMIERE Swamp Brothers, 10 p.m., Discovery On the heels of the Cajun Swamp People on History and Swamp Loggers on the same network, this reality vehicle follows a wildlife-focused family as they collect alligator eggs and chase feral hogs in an attempt to convince the entire world swamps are the only ecosystem in Florida.

Cuba IT & Social Media Initiative
The power of Internet technology and social media to fuel economic growth, enhance communication and expand educational opportunities is, without doubt, one of the legacies of the last quarter century. However, while Internet technology and social media have helped increase communication and grow the economies of developed nations and some emerging nations, others have fallen behind and into an ever-expanding technology gap. If access to basic healthcare and education were the determining factors for development in the past, access to technology may very well be the determining factor for this generation.

Jacques Audiard takes his time, and perhaps more directors should do the same. While Audiard has only released six feature films over his 18-year career as a director, every one of them is worth watching. Even in the eyes of unsentimental film critics, Audiard's record is yet unblemished.
Rust and Bone is Audiard's latest film and, thanks to Marion Cotillard, his most famous. According to the film's credits, it it is based on two short stories by Canadian author Craig Davidson—"Rust and Bone" and "Rocket Ride"—but this is a little misleading. Open Davidson's book and you'll find that Audiard's protagonists, orca trainer Stephanie (Cotillard) and downtrodden boxer Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts), don't really exist. There is an orca trainer and a boxer, but they are not Stephanie and Ali; they are characters worthy of Raymond Carver or Steinbeck, and their bleakness is decidedly North American. Audiard is famous for taking a tired story—such as the struggle of a young man coming of age in prison in A Prophet (2009)—and revitalizing it with fresh, French eyes. This is exactly what he does with Davidson's stories: both films share an overwhelming sense of desperation, but Audiard translates Davidson's sparse narrative into something more lyrical, and perhaps less familiar. As Audiard told the Guardian, "If you open the door of a boxing gym in Brooklyn, you know what is behind it... If you open it in Antibes, it's all new. There is curiosity."
The filmmaker clearly loves his medium. When we speak to Audiard over the phone, he is at his most animated when he describes the questions he would ask David Lynch. If his children wanted to pursue the family business (Audiard's father is writer-director Michel Audiard), he would first tell them: "Prove to me that you love film." How? "By thinking about it, talking about it, writing."
Originally conducted in French, in the interview below Interview and Audiard discuss Rust and Bone, writer's block, Katy Perry, and Beethoven.
EMMA BROWN: How did you discover Craig Davidson's short stories?
JACQUES AUDIARD: How did I discover them? They were translated into French and some one gave them to me as un cadeau d'anniversaire. A birthday present. [laughs]
BROWN: The form of the short story can be very powerful, sometimes more so than a longer novel.
AUDIARD: Yes, it's possible, it's possible—but I wouldn't make a generalization. In this case they were short stories, and they were very visual. There was something about them that made them seem very close to the cinema. Craig has a writing style that is very visual, very cinematic.
BROWN: Do you search for stories to adapt, or do you discover them by chance ?
AUDIARD : It was really by chance. With [my scriptwriter] Thomas Bidegain, we had done a film set in a prison with men. We really craved something else. Craig Davidson's stories—we changed the characters a lot. The character of the girl [Stephanie, played by Cotillard], in Davidson's story it's a man, a boy.
After A Prophet, I wanted to have a female character, to tell a love story. When I read Craig Davidson's stories, there wasn't one. We cobbled a love story onto [his] short stories. We took two [separate] stories and made a love story. That said, what was in the short stories were the orcas, Marine Land, boxing, the child—things like that. I wouldn't have been able to come up with that, that was something that the stories gave us.
BROWN : Do you think that the relationship between Stephanie and Ali will last ?
AUDIARD : [laughs] I don't know. I hope so, I hope so. It was the story of a little boy who was looking for a mother, a wife for his father. So, from that point of view, [you] hope that it works. But, why shouldn't it ?
BROWN : Very optimistic. I like the way that you use Katy Perry's song "Firework" when Stephanie is leading the orca show at Marine Land.
AUDIARD: That's Marine Land's song. That's the song that they actually use for the orca shows. The orcas hear Katy Perry four times a day.
BROWN: It transforms the song into something very captivating—there is a classical grace to it.
AUDIARD: That's true.
BROWN: Which is not something I would generally associate with Katy Perry, she is so deliberately ostentatious...
AUDIARD: I didn't know about her before I watched the orca show.
BROWN: Do you listen to her music now?
AUDIARD: I don't really have the time, and I haven't really thought about it. I'll pay more attention [the next time] I listen to her, that's for sure.
BROWN: What did you do on the first day that you had Marion and Matthias together?
AUDIARD: What did I do? I don't really remember. Matthias and Marion—I don't remember anymore. [To Thomas Bidegain] Do you remember? No? My scriptwriter doesn't remember either.
BROWN: I heard that you wanted to be a teacher before you decided to go into film.
AUDIARD: Oh, yes. It was a vague idea back when I had ambition. Wait. [speaks to Bidegain] Ah, Tom is right! The first scene [we shot] with Matthias and Marion was the scene in the nightclub where she faints.
BROWN: Did you want Marion and Matthias to get to know each other before they filmed that first scene? Or did you try and keep them apart so that their first meeting in the film would be more authentic?
AUDIARD: No, no. Honestly, I would have liked them to see each other a lot before we started working, but there were two things. Marion's schedule was complicated—she was filming in the US—and my schedule was dictated by the availability of Marine Land, I could only film there at a certain time. We arranged everything around that and the result was that I didn't get to work much with the actors beforehand. Normally, that's what I do.
BROWN: Was Marine Land happy to be in the film? What happens to Stephanie there is rather off-putting and frightening.
AUDIARD: I don't know. I don't have any news. I think that the trainers were happy enough, but I don't know about the directors.
BROWN: What's the best advice you've ever gotten?
AUDIARD: In life in general ? Well, I don't know. It's something that I tell myself every morning when I wake up: "Think it over, take the time to think it over." I don't like spontaneity, there you go. I'm wary of it.
BROWN: In one of your interviews you said, "I don't create works of art. I make films, period. One comes after another. A work of art is something carved out of marble."
AUDIARD: Yes, exactly.
BROWN: Do you think we place too much importance on film today?
AUDIARD: That's interesting. We give them a considerable commercial importance. It's the major change in cinema over the past 20 years—there's no longer a lot of room for anything other than this commercial conception [of film]. It suits me moderately, but I'm not passing judgment on it.
BROWN: Does working in France help you avoid the commercialization of cinema?
AUDIARD: I think so. I'm quite free here.
BROWN: If you could interview anyone, whom would you interview and why?
AUDIARD: [pauses] The first person that comes to mind is Francis Bacon. Or maybe David Lynch. Why? Because they really created these worlds—maybe Kubrick as well. But I'm only giving you names of filmmakers or painters, outside of that I don't know. Maybe Beethoven: "Why the quartets?"
BROWN: What would you ask David Lynch?
AUDIARD: Firstly, "How are you?" After that I'd tell him that his films have stayed in my head—I've re-watched them—and I'd ask him more precise questions. I want to know, for example, if, like I think, the bag that covers up the Elephant Man comes from Disney's Dumbo. Things like that.
BROWN: Are you working on another film now?
AUDIARD: I'm trying to, but it's not working. [laughs]
BROWN: What do you do for inspiration when you get stuck?
AUDIARD: I read. I don't know. When things aren't working out, we have a tendency to say, "Go do other things," but you shouldn't do other things. You need to stay at your desk and continue to try to write. You need to insist on it.
