Sunday 20th May
Olga Paliy
Sunday 10th June
Stephen Gutman
It was almost possible to enjoy the wine in the interval out in the garden at the last recital in April, but not quite.
We can hope that the lovely Spring evenings will allow this for our guests for this weekend's May recital by pianist, Olga Paliy.
There are no more tickets available for the May recital, but we look forward to the June recital and early Summer, already nearly upon us, and to welcoming our friends in our regular audience and new music lovers alike.
The garden should be in full flower by then, as well as exuberantly in leaf, as it is now, reinforcing the intimate, very individual, salon nature of our recitals and providing a beautiful backdrop for those of our guests who stay on for candle light supper after the recital.
Our June recitalist, pianist Stephen Gutman, has chosen a theme, 'Revisionings':
Mozart transcribes his own violin Sonata. Tchaikovsky refashions a theme in six very different ways. Liszt reworks Berlioz. Debussy 'revisions' gamelan, the music of Andalucia and nursery rhymes in his glowing Estampes.
Mozart: 6 Variations on an Allegretto, KV54
Tchaikovsky: 6 Pieces on a theme, Op 21
Liszt: L'Idée fixe
Berlioz/Liszt: Un Bal from Symphonie Fantastique
Debussy: Estampes.
It is with pleasure we welcome Stephen back to the salon scale of The Dysart Petersham recitals after a number of very well received, distinctive, stylish and thoughtful recitals here, in such a close relationship with the audience. We can look forward, not just to some inspiring music, but also to a wonderful performance, guided by a strong personality.
Stephen Gutman
Stephen has performed in the Royal Festival Hall, the Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Weill Hall in New York, Ueno Bunka Keikan in Tokyo, and throughout Europe. Stephen's enthusiasm for French keyboard music including the French Baroque led to his recording of the complete keyboard works of Rameau played on the modern piano for Toccata. The final CD received 5 stars in BBC Music Magazine and MusicWeb International chose it as their CD of the month.
His playing is also available on NMC and he has broadcast for BBC Radio 3, Deutsche Rundfunk and France Musique.
Some of the many composers who have written for him include Julian Anderson and Gabriel Jackson.
He has performed with many distinguished artists and ensembles including soprano Sarah Leonard, violinist Gyorgy Pauk, the Composers Ensemble, Endymion, the Esbjerg Ensemble, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and the Verbier Festival Ensemble.
Stephen has given masterclasses in the UK and internationally. He has led courses at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Royal Northern College, Benslow Music Trust and Dartington Summer School. His contribution to a new book on the music of Simon Holt was published in the autumn.

The thing about successful people is they're persistent. They'll stop at nothing to move important agendas forward. Exhibit A: Cedars Cancer Foundation president/CEO Jeff Shamie and CanSupport founder Gwendolyn Andrews Nacos, who both reached out to me approximately 10 months prior to their big (correction: HUGE) Cedars Cancer Foundation 50th-anniversary "Go Beyond" Ball.
Admittedly, I giggled a bit, noting to Jeff that in Social Notes time, that was a decade! In all seriousness, though, the seeds of fabulousness and enormity were planted and I did mark the coming event on my personal calendar.
Fast forward to Nov. 10, and I'm so glad I did. The extraordinary organizing team — headed by aforementioned superhuman Gwen (with Tom), treasured Cedars board member Diana Ferrara Scalia (with Sam) and McGill University Health Centre Cancer Care Mission chief Dr. Armen Aprikian — pulled out all the stops, creating an anniversary event at Arsenal that was truly magical.

How magical? Let me count the ways:
First off, the devil was nowhere to be found in this eve's details. In fact, the opposite held true: every aspect reflected meticulous co-ordination and attention to greatness on the part of the planning pack, from the gastronomic feast prepared by team Olivier Perret, a cancer survivor himself and executive chef of Le Renoir at the Sofitel Carré Doré, to the powerful feature film produced by Heidi Berger with an original score performed live by award-winning pianists, to the inescapably good beats of legendary Paul Chacra and his 1945 Band, to the sweetest sweet table paired with an invigorating Nespresso station.
But my friends, the magic was bigger than that — you could feel the spirit of the room. It was visceral. One and all were united in their love of Cedars and the remarkable work they've done for cancer research and cancer support over the last 50 years — including, of course, Sarah's Fund, the pediatric arm of the foundation. It also marked an important milestone in 2016: its 15th anniversary.

As for "one and all," while it would be close to impossible to name every bold-faceable attendee in the sea of 700-plus, we would be remiss if we didn't share at least a representative sample, so here goes: board chair Bruce ShadeedandSuzanne; capital campaign co-chair Andrew Lutfy; founder Shirley Chamandy; Nadine Chamandy; incoming board chair Mark SaykalyandLouise; Cookie and Larry Rossy; Phyllis and John Rae; foundation vice-president of development Ariel Dayan-Medalsy; Chantal and Greg Chamandy; Demo TrifonopoulosandEvelyn Tetenes; Lilian VinebergandMorris Goodman; CathyandFranco Monticciolo; MariaandMarco Iacampo; RosaandSam Musto; DanielaandFrank Cristiano; board members like Bruno Ciolfi, Douglas Ajram, Michael Newton, Joseph Cheaib, Christina Ayoub Miller, Andy Chelminski, AlexiaandAnthony Calvillo, Dr. Roger Tabah, LorenaandNorman Cook, Lisa Chamandy,andAndrew Carter; Roshi and the honourable Baljit Chadha; Peter Abraham; AliceandJonathan Goldbloom; Holt Renfrew's Normand Ciarlo; Ogilvy's Steeve Lapierre; Angela and Carlo Bizotto; DianaandTony Miceli; Deep Khosla; Adam Turner; AlidaandBrian Rossy; MariaandJonathan Birks; MUHC board chair Claudio Bussandri; MUHC interim president/CEO Martine Alphonso; Dr. Tarek Hijal; Dr. Manuel Borod; Dr. Peter MetrakosandAmalia; Dr. David FleiszerandDr. Ruth Russell; Dr. Sarkis MeterissianandMarcelle Lavoie; Linda ShawandFrank Motter; MaryandFrank Rana; Nicole ZreikandJoseph Eid; PotaandChiko Nanji; YolaandTheo Kersheh; Christiane KaprielianandArden Dervishian, and so. Many. More.
Thanks to the magic, and invaluable support, a staggeringly impressive $5.3 million was raised for the new Cedars Oncology Supportive Care Centre as well as for teaching and research. Bravo and cheers to the next 50!

"…it is the art world that negotiated the delivery of ideas from the university to protest movements"
Learning from the Future focuses on the centrality of self education movements within global resistance movements. One of the arguments is that it is the art world that negotiated the delivery of ideas from the university to protest movements – by introducing various inventive platforms for the dissemination of ideas and the fostering of self education forums.

The most important thing to consider when carding Amazon is the cc. There is a fire bin that hits high on the Amazon website but I am going to talk about that later.
Before you start this method, you need to have all the needed tools in place. You can buy any tools you don't have from me; I also have the Amazon Carding cc/bin.
Unlike Apple Carding Method that you don't have to use Socks or VPN if you're located in the USA, you will need to buy socks or premium VPN if you want to card Amazon Successfully.
Needed Tools for 2019 Amazon Carding!
- Cclearner
- Mac Address Changer
- Socks (911) Recommended
- Credit Card (cc Fullz recommended)
- Drop
- Amazon Website
Amazon Carding Method 2020– See Full Tutorial Now
First Step: You are going to start the Amazon Carding tutorial 2019 by buying a good CC fullz and making an email to match the name on the cc purchased.
The next step is to clean your computer with the installed ccleaner before you open the MAC Address changer and change all MAC Address.
After implementing the address change, clean your computer again with ccleaner before connecting your socks.
Next step is to check whoer.net to know if you are connected to the right place. Make sure it's connected to the cc owners address.
[pricing-table-for-woo id=4]
Creating an Account on Amazon!
Once you have your tools set up, the next step is to create an account on the Amazon website. Note that you will have to make the account with the new email you have created and all the account information should match that of the cc owner.
Once your account is created, do not rush to place orders. Browser through different items and cart some with low prices.
After carting the items, leave your account logged in and close your laptop. Wait for a while before you open the laptop and logout your account.
Finally, login after some hours with all your tools connected as usual. Go cart and proceed to checkout with the items on your cart.
For the first order, I advise that you keep it low. You can do less than $100 so that it will not trigger cc verification.
If your first order goes through, you will be able to card higher items subsequently.
Note: In the shipping address, you will have to enter your own address or your drop while you add the cc address in the billing address.
You will be able to choose cc payment option from the payment page of the website.
Enter every details directly on the space provided, do not do copy and paste and it may trigger some verification if detected.

Kerry Tribe's H.M. Explores Neuroscience and Experimental Filmmaking
IRVINE, Calif. (December 23, 2015) -- The University Art Galleries at UC Irvine's Claire Trevor School of the Arts will host H.M. by visual artist Kerry Tribe. The installation is roughly an 18-minute loop that weaves together reenacted footage, found and animated elements and lies somewhere between an experimental documentary and an independent narrative film. The exhibition, focused on neuroscience and experimental filmmaking, will open Saturday, January 9 with a reception open to the public from 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm and will exhibit through Saturday, March 12, 2016. There will be a special roundtable event entitled "H.M. & The Aesthetics of Memory" featuring guest speakers Dr. James McGaugh, Kerry Tribe, and Dr. Juli Carson on Thursday, January 28, 2016 from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm in Winifred Smith Hall.
H.M. is a two-channel presentation of a single film based on the true story of an anonymous, memory-impaired man, the famous amnesiac known in scientific literature only as "Patient H.M." In 1953, when he was 27 years old, H.M. underwent experimental brain surgery intended to alleviate his epilepsy. The unintended result was a radical and persistent amnesia. Though he was no longer able to make lasting memories, his short-term recall, lasting about 20 seconds, remained intact. He lived anonymously in this condition for more than half a century until his death on December 2, 2008, in a Connecticut nursing home. His case is widely credited with revolutionizing our understanding of the organization of human memory.
H.M. consists of a single 16mm film that plays through two adjacent synchronized projectors with a 20 second delay between them; thus, the viewer sees two simultaneous side-by-side projections of two different parts of the same film reel. The structure of the installation and the nature of the material together produce a sensation of mnemonic dissonance much like that experienced by Patient H.M.
"What would an artwork on cognition – one equally mindful of the insights made by philosophy, metapsychology and neurobiology – look like? What would it do? Perhaps it would make us think about memory and narrative, our conscious and unconscious relation to history, and our subjective experience of space and time," stated Juli Carson, Artistic Director of the University Art Galleries. "In this way, Kerry Tribe's interdisciplinary artwork about memory paradoxically centers on what we don't know – the act of forgetting."
This exhibition and ancillary programming are made possible with generous support by UCI Illuminations and the 2014 Claire Trevor Commemorative Star Event.
The University Art Galleries are committed to promoting an inter-generational dialogue between 60s/70s neo-avant-garde art and contemporary visual culture. Accordingly, their curatorial mission is to keep an eye on the modernist past while promoting the most innovative aesthetic and political debates of the post-modern present. From this vantage, the projects commissioned provoke intelligent debate on the subject of art in its most expansive poetic definition. As UCI's creative laboratory, the UCI Claire Trevor School of the Arts explores and presents the arts as the essence of human experience and expression, through art forms ranging from the most traditional to the radically new. The international faculty works across a wide variety of disciplines, partnering with others across the campus. National-ranked programs in art, dance, drama, and music begin with training but end in original invention. Students come to UCI to learn to be citizen-artists, to sharpen their skills and talents, and to become the molders and leaders of world culture. For more information, please visit www.arts.uci.edu.

Arkansas lives up to its nickname of The Natural State, with three national forests covering 2.9 million acres, seven national parks, scenic mountains and plains, and dozens of rivers bordering and crossing the state, including the mighty Mississippi. But with all those rivers, flooding is a recurring natural hazard. For those providing relief and other emergency services to flooded areas, timely NASA Earth observations help determine the scope of the disaster.

In the first NASA study to calculate the value of using satellite data in disaster scenarios, researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, calculated the time that could have been saved if ambulance drivers and other emergency responders had near-real-time information about flooded roads, using the 2011 Southeast Asian floods as a case study. Ready access to this information could have saved an average of nine minutes per emergency response and potential millions of dollars, they said. The study is a first step in developing a model to deploy in future disasters, according to the researchers. The Mekong River crosses more than 2,000 miles in Southeast Asia, passing through parts of Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, China and other countries. The river is a vital source of food and income for the roughly 60 million people who live near it, but it is also one of the most flood-prone regions in the world.

Refugee camps built in the Bangladeshi hillside are vulnerable to sudden landslides. Credits: UN Development Programme/Eno Jonathan Camp managers and other local officials overseeing Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh are now incorporating NASA satellite observations into their decision making in order to reduce the risk to refugees from landslides and other natural hazards. Information like daily rain totals can help inform how to lay out refugee camps and store supplies. More than 740,000 Rohingya refugees have fled to Bangladesh since August 2017. Many of them have sought shelter in camps located in the hilly countryside, where landslide risk may be the greatest. Increasing this danger is Bangladesh's intense monsoon season. Approximately 80 percent of Bangladesh's yearly rain falls in just five months, from June to October, bringing with it an increased risk of flash flooding and landslides. When these refugee camps were built in the southeastern part of the country, plants and trees were removed and their roots no longer helped to hold the soil in place. The soaked hillsides are at even greater risk of cleaving off with heavy rains. In July 2019, after 14 inches of rain fell in 72 hours, 26 landslides in Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, killed one person and left more than 4,500 without shelter. "We have little information on landslides," said Hafizol Islam, who is in charge of one of the most densely populated camps of the Kutupalong mega-camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. "It is unpredictable for us and can happen at any time."

This animation depicts the the GOES-16 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Fire Temperature product overlaid on the NOAA GOES-R GeoColor product for the Saddleridge California region from 10:31am -12:26pm PDT on October 11th, 2019. The red area shows the Saddleridge fire, and the white plume blowing out over the Pacific Ocean is smoke. This product was developed with support from the NASA Disasters Program at the request of the U.S. Forest Service and National Predictive Services. Satellite fire detections such as these are used to initialize fires in weather models that provide information about smoke impact and fire behavior to governments and disaster response agencies. Presently, the only fire detections used in numerical weather prediction models come from sensors on low Earth orbiting satellites, such as the MODIS and VIIRS sensors. These sensors provide very high spatial resolution, but only provide detections a few times per day. The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on the GOES-R Series provides fire detections every 5 minutes over the United States, which will provide a greater chance of capturing fires that can be missed due to cloud cover or thick smoke.

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this nighttime composite image as the storm approached the coast at 3:42 a.m. Eastern Time (07:42 UTC) on September 5, 2019. Credit: NASA Earth Observatory After devastating the Bahamas and grazing Florida and Georgia, Hurricane Dorian rebounded and raked the coast of South Carolina with strong winds, heavy rains, and a storm surge. Wind, falling trees, and flooding damaged power infrastructure in coastal areas of the southeast U.S. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite captured this nighttime composite image as the storm approached the coast at 3:42 a.m. Eastern Time (07:42 UTC) on September 5, 2019. At the time, Dorian packed maximum sustained winds of 115 miles (185 kilometers) per hour and was moving north at 8 miles per hour. The VIIRS sensor observed thick cloud bands circulating around Dorian's large eye, the part of the storm with mostly calm weather and the lowest atmospheric pressure. Hurricane eyes average about 20 miles (32 kilometers); the National Hurricane Center reported Dorian's eye had a diameter of 50 miles (80 kilometers) around the time this image was acquired. Thinner clouds—part of the storm's higher-level outflow—extended well inland across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.

Chapter 2 – The Zither and Bamboo Combination (II)
[Author's Note] Summary: Today the chapter will be updated at 5 o'clock and 8 o'clock in the evening. Welcome to the novel and thank you.
A tall silhouette outside the door walked inside. Naturally, the youth was tall and possessed an imposing aura, sharing at least eight similarities with Ye Li. Handsome and steadfast, he walked in and brought with him a breath of fresh air, a distinctive attribute of the Bamboo Sect's Bamboo Dou Qi. It was Ye Li's son, Ye Zhong.
Ye Li said, "Zhong'er, come greet your Uncle Qin."
"Uncle Qin, hello. I heard from Ying'er that you seemed to have arrived here because of my son?" Ye Zhong greeted, before asking his query .
Qin Shang's eyes slightly twinkled with radiance. Smiling, he said, "Zhong'er. I have not seen you since you were young. Pretty good, your Bamboo Dou Qi has reached the primary level yellow Bamboo rank. According to the Rainbow Ranking system, that is equivalent to a primary level green rank."
Ye Zhong was evidently uninterested about his strength assessment, urgently inquiring, "I have heard from Ying'er that you believe my son is a genius, gifted in studying zither magic, right? If he is, can you accept him as your disciple?"
Qin Shang's eyes opened while Ye Li's jaw dropped in shock. He hastily said, "Of course I can, but your father did not agree."
Ye Zhong turned towards Ye Li. Confused, he asked, "Father, why?"
Ye Li angrily said, "You come out here, daring to speak like this, and ask me why? You are such a child. The Zither Sect and the Bamboo Sect are vastly different studies for him to study in."
Ye Zhong argued, "But he was born with only eight fingers; he does not have the disposition to inherit the Bamboo Sect Swordplay. Could it be that you do not want your grandson to become a powerful figure in the future? It will not be easy for him to learn our Bamboo Sect teachings, so won't the Zither Sect magic be perfect for him? This is just your prejudicial parochialism. Did you not say……"
"You give me no choice," Ye Li indignantly said, lifting his hand to form a fist to attack his son. Ye Zhong did not dare retaliate. Peng! In the midst of an explosion of brilliant rays of violet light, the bamboo door exploded, flying open as Ye Li's eyes held a peculiar look. Evidently, Ye Li's expression was quite serious, but he was actually only using dou qi to force his son to leave the premises. Afterall, what kind of father would actually beat his own son?
Qin Shang glared angrily at Ye Li, growling, "You see, your son is clearly more reasonable than you, Old Bamboo. Just a moment ago, I thought up a new solution, and I think that it would be better this way. You would allow your grandson to study zither magic while simultaneously teaching him Bamboo Dou Qi. In the future, he could return to your Bamboo Sect and its people while we, the Zither Sect, will be inconsequential. How about that?"
Ye Li's face slightly eased, "On what basis should I believe that you can train my grandson to successfully contend against the Falan Seven Pagoda's power?"
Qin Shang firmly said, "At this moment, the continent, regardless of magic or dou qi, utilizes the Rainbow Ranking System. The Eight Eastern Dragon Sects are the only exception, however, and regardless of whether or not it's my four magic sects or your four dou qi sects, in the cultivation process, there are only three types of color transformations. Each color has nine levels, and combined together, it is similar to the Rainbow Ranking Systems. Likewise, the violet rank has nine levels. Despite our efforts, we could only cultivate to the violet rank. The ability to achieve this is a secret that cannot be found outside of our Eight Eastern Dragon Sects, but after 50 years of effort, without innate skill, cultivating beyond the violet rank is easier said than done. The people living throughout the continent are only aware of the existence of Falan and not of our Eight Eastern Dragon Sects."
Ye Li groaning, grousing, "What a load of crap, do you think I do not know this?."
Qin Shang said, "Then tell me, what are the three colors and corresponding nine levels of our Zither Sect?"
Ye Li said, "So there's the Red Zither Heart where you refine the zither heart soul, the Yellow Zither Heart where you sharpen courage, and the Violet Zither Heart? You are currently at the primary level of the violet rank for the zither heart. In comparison to our Bamboo Sect, the Cyan Bamboo, the Yellow Bamboo, and the Violet Bamboo altogether has a total of 27 levels. The only difference is that the color of our first level is cyan, whereas yours is red, and that your zither magic is much better at intimidating others."
Qin Shang nodded and said, "Correct, these three colors and nine levels, for a total twenty-seven levels, correlate with the 27 levels of the Rainbow Ranking System. The refinement of the zither heart's soul throughout its nine levels is most important step according to our Zither Sect. At the Red Zither Heart level, any distracting thoughts are expelled to allow only zither music to penetrate the mind, gradually enhancing cognition and strength towards the Zither.. This is the Orthodox Zither Sect method of cultivation. For a person with ordinary talent, it generally takes them approximately six years to completely refine the soul of the zither heart to begin advancing through the nine levels. However, to refine the soul of the zither heart, a solid foundation is needed, otherwise ascension is challenging. However, how could the cultivation of this Red Zither Heart be compared to a body born with an innate Zither Heart?"
Ye Li doubtfully said, "I am still not very clear on what you mean."
Qin Shang's eyes shined brilliantly with resolution, "If you agree to allow your grandson to be my disciple, I will have him refine his zither heart soul to begin his cultivation and, unlike anyone before him, he will practice with a Pure Zither Heart."
"Eh?" Ye Li, startled, looked over towards Qin Shang, "Your Zither Sect's secret magical score that was recorded to have never successfully been cultivated? Are you insane?"
Qin Shang unflinchingly said, "I am not insane. In fact, the Pure Zither Heart is the genuine Zither Sect's cultivation path to enlightenment. Because this method is extremely demanding and incredibly difficult to practice,no one has been able to successfully cultivate it so far. But your son is different. He was born with eight fingers and a high sensitivity and perception of music. I believe that he will succeed. Also, because I am at the violet rank, there is a 70% chance of success. The Pure Zither Heart is vital to refining the zither heart soul. Although it is difficult for many to cultivate, if it's successful, the door to genuinely cultivate the Zither Heart will open immediately. Thus, it is possible to attain the Violet Zither Heart rank in a short period of time. In addition to this, as long as he is hardworking, he could possibly advance to the highest and most mysterious zither heart found only in legends. And according to my studies, it appears that Dou Qi will be of great assistance to this method. The Falan Seven Pagoda will no longer be terrifying."
Ye Li's voice deepened, "And if you fail?"
Qin Shan unenthusiastically said, "Even if I fail, he has been practicing your Bamboo Sect's Dou Qi all along. You can make him renounce the zither, and there will still be time for him to refine your Bamboo Sect Martial Skills. The Pure Zither Heart is not difficult to understand. If I guessed correctly, during the cultivation of the Pure Zither Heart, his dou qi enhances the tempo to an extraordinarily high velocity sufficient enough to complement late martial skill. Old Partner, this opportunity for our Eight East Imperial Sect is a once in a lifetime chance. Do you really not want to try it? If you agree, my Zither Sect is willing to exchange anything."
Ye Li's eyes flashed violet. Waving his hand, he said, "There is no need for an exchange. I will promise you that I will agree, but you must promise me three conditions."
Qin Shang, without the slightest hesitation, agreed, "Yes, elaborate."
Ye Li said, "First, in the event that he succeeds, he will be the Lord of both the Zither and the Bamboo Sects when he grows up."
Qin Shang nodded, saying, "No problem, if he possess sufficient strength, no one can oppose him. Besides, the inheritance of these sects are ours to determine."
Ye Li continued, "Second, in the premise of success, your Zither Sect's five most renowned zithers are to be given to my grandson."
Qin Shang stared at Ye Li with wide eyes, "You are a good old man; you are not greedy. You know how important our Zither Sect's five most renowned zithers are? The Zither Sect's five most renowned zithers are similar to the Falan Seven Pagoda mages' staves. Naturally, they are comparable to the existence of divine tools."
Ye Li lazily said, "If they are not, I don't want it. Does our Bamboo Sect not deserve those treasured objects? Your Zither Sect must allow me to examine the five zither scores. Anyway, if my grandson also belongs to your Zither Sect he is the future head. Why are you so miserly? The Cry of the Phoenix Zither, the Song of the Dead Forest Dragon Zither, the Music of the Lost Emperor Zither, the Nine Heavenly Jade Rings Zither, and your frequently used Thundering Spring Zither gather together harmoniously. Is this not what you have told me? The better matched the zither and the song are, the greater the zither magic. It is improbable for you to have forgotten this."
"Extortion, you blackmailing bastard," Qin Shang furiously swore.
Ye Li laughed darkly, "After all, that is the final condition, or do you not agree?"

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Grandparent(s) (04/03/08)
TITLE: Whooooooops! | Previous Challenge Entry
By Allison Egley
We would always take an annual trip to the local amusement park with my brothers, my mom, my grandma, whom we called "Nana," and me. Even when she was in her eighty's, Nana would go on some of the rides with us. She generally when on the calmer rides, like the Ferris wheel or the merry-go-round, but she also went on the "river rapids boat ride" with us. She wore a wig, and during the entire ride, she'd be holding on to the top of her head so her wig wouldn't fall off. Whenever we would hit a bump or when the boat would change direction, she would let out one of her hallmark loud "Whooooops!" The first time, the other passengers in the boat besides our family members would just kind of snicker and look at her. But by the 4th or 5th time, everyone on the boat, family, friend, or stranger, would be laughing hysterically; including my grandmother. In between her shouts of "Whoooops!" of course. I'm sure the other passengers later recounted stories of the crazy lady who was holding on to her hair and shouting "Whooooops!" at random moments.
As my grandmother got older, like many people, she became more blunt, and would not hold back her true thoughts or feelings. One Christmas her son got her a VCR for Christmas. Nana didn't have much contact with her son in her later years, because he lived in Georgia while she lived with us in Missouri. My uncle had called my mom to ask her what Nana would want. My mom explained that Nana spent most of her day watching TV, and she thought she might enjoy watching videos.
On Christmas morning, she opened the gift. She stared at it for a few seconds before remarking, "What is it?"
"Well, at the library, we can get special tapes to put in it, and then you can watch it on your TV, Nana," I explained.
"You can watch some of the older programs, like 'Anne of Green Gabbles' or 'The Sound of Music,'" my mom explained.
There was another pause before Nana exclaimed, "Well, why would I want to do THAT?"
I don't exactly remember our reaction to that one, but I'm pretty sure it involved prolong silence. It's a good thing her son wasn't there at the time.
Another time my grandmother's bluntness came out in full force was when I came home once during my Freshman year of college. It hadn't been that long since I'd last been home; maybe a month or so.
"Oh, you've grown!" my grandmother declared.
"No, Nana," I gently corrected her. "I haven't grown for a couple of years now."
There was a short pause before Nana amended her observation. "Well, then your bust is bigger."
I think my eyes almost bugged out as I choked on the carrot I was eating. Sadly, that was one of the last times I saw Nana alive. She died about a month later, at the ripe old age of ninety-six. I can't wait until I can see her again one day in heaven. I'm sure it will be a grand reunion with all of heaven laughing. Even the angels.

The Great Wall Facts and Fiction
Beijing China
About the Great Wall Facts and Fiction…
The Great Wall of China is constructed from a series of stone and earth made fortifications in northern China, they built it originally to create protection for the northern borders of the Chinese Empire against intrusions by various nomadic groups.
Several walls have been built since the 5th century BC that are referred to collectively as the Great Wall, which has in fact been rebuilt and maintained from the 5th century BC right throughout the 16th century.
One of the most famous is the wall that was built between 220–206 BC by Qin Shi Huang the first Emperor of China, very little of that wall remains and the majority what stands today was built during the Ming Dynasty.
The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly outlines the southern edge of Inner Mongolia.
Just recently in a technologically advanced and comprehensive archaeological survey, recently concluded that the entire Great Wall, with all of its branches, stretches for 8,851.8 km or 5,500.3 miles, which is made up of 6,259.6 km or 3,889.5 mile sections of actual wall, 359.7 km or 223.5 miles of trenches and 2,232.5 km or 1,387.2 miles of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers.
How to see the Great Wall
There are many ways and a number of different times that can be taken to see this wonder of the world – you can walk parts of it, hike or trek, there are also lots of other things to see on the way and during your great wall experience…
Other must see sights are the Forbidden City and Hall of Supreme Harmony, Temple of Heaven, the Li River in Guilin, Badaling, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Summer Place, Kunming Lake and the Lama Temple.
There are ways to see the wall to suit every budget and it's open most days of the year.
The Great Wall is one of the greatest wonders of the world and will no doubt be a great holiday experience.

"When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence." ~Ansel Adams
My blog has been abandoned for months, and my words have been replaced by photographs that fill my hard drive. My camera has been writing novels in captured light form; telling both my own story and the tales of those who ask me to step briefly inside their worlds. Those subjects, I am most grateful for.
One must trust and relinquish a bit of vulnerability to welcome a photographer into your world. There is always the unspoken fear of what story the captured image will reveal. My job is assurance that the story will be told with honesty and edited with love.
Love & Light,

|Issue Date:
|Brunel University School of Engineering and Design PhD Theses
|This text describes different aspects of the design of a Doctor-on-a-Chip device. Doctor-on-a-Chip is a DNA analysis system integrated on a single chip, which should provide all of the advantages that stem from the system integration, such as small sample volume, fast and accurate analysis, and low cost. The text describes all of the steps of the on-chip sample analysis, including DNA extraction from the sample, purification, PCR amplification, novel dielectrophoretic sorting of the DNA molecules, and finally detection. The overview is given of the technologies which are available to make the integration on a single chip possible. The microfluidic technologies that are used to manipulate the sample and other chemical reagents are already known and in this text they are analyzed in terms of their feasibility in the on-chip system integration. These microfluidic technologies include, but are not limited to, microvalves, micromixers, micropumps, and chambers for PCR amplification. The novelty in the DNA analysis brought by Doctor-on-a-Chip is the way in which the different DNA molecules in the sample (for example, human and virus DNA) are sorted into different populations. This is done by means of dielectrophoresis – the force experienced by dielectric particles (such as DNA molecules) when subject to a non-uniform electric field. Different DNA molecules within a sample experience different dielectrophoretic forces within the same electric field, which makes their separation, and therefore detection, possible. In this text, the emphasis is put on numerical modelling of the dielectrophoretic effect on biological particles. The importance of numerical modelling lies in the fact that with the accurate model it is easier to design systems of microelectrodes for dielectrophoretic separation, and tune their sub-micrometre features to achieve the maximum separation efficacy. The numerical model described in this text is also experimentally verified with the novel microelectrodes design for dielectrophoretic separation, which is successfully used to separate the mixture of different particles in the micron and sub-micron range.

SudanвҖҷs Defense Minister will brief the parliament on the security situations in the country
Khartoum-SudaneseOnline-SudanвҖҷs Minister of Defense Lt. Gen. Engineer Abdel Rahim Mohamed Hussein will deliver a report before the National Assembly today Monday on the security situation in the country.
Sources disclosed that the report will discuss the wars and conflicts that hit many parts of the country, including the states of Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states.
Sudan is pushing for a vote to end the Independent ExpertвҖҷs mission monitoring rights abuses in the country. But several delegations to the conference, including the United States and the European Union, are pushing back, calling for a broader, more powerful mandate.
Missing from the report is the fact that the Independent Expert, and all other national or international observers, has been unable to visit rebel-held areas, and zones of conflict. This had made it almost impossible to report on the human rights issues in the most violent parts of the country where KhartoumвҖҷs army has waged a scorched-earth-style war against civilians the government sees as rebel sympathizers.
Nuba Reports, based in the Nuba Mountains of SudanвҖҷs South Kordofan state, has verified 1,929 bombs dropped by the Sudan Armed Forces since April 2012. Of those, 756 were dropped since September 2013. Many more have been used in military battles, but all of the confirmed bombings have hit in civilian areas, killing and maiming hundreds. In Darfur, 320,000 people have fled their homes since May as the government-sponsored Rapid Support Force tore through the countryside.
According to the report, the government of Sudan technically granted the monitors access to the war-torn Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states. But the access was extremely limited and the lack of similar findings in the report prompted calls for Sudan to provide monitors with more freedom to move around the country.

This bark glows in the dark! Bioluminescence in mushrooms
It's the 21st Century and 'glow-in-the-dark' is all the rage. We put plastic stars on our ceilings that shine in the night to mimic the constellations and we insert genes into our zebrafish to make them glisten in their tanks. From nail polish and glow sticks to now even puppies, we're fascinated by our ability to manipulate objects otherwise unseen in the dark. But long before we artificially created glow-in-the-dark objects, a few fungi evolved to use this characteristic we so desire.
The phenomenon in nature is called bioluminescence and is restricted to a small group of species. While most fungi don't possess this ability, there are some 71 known species of bioluminescent mushrooms contained within three groups— the Omphalotus, Armillaria, and Mycenoid lineages. Their degrees of light intensity differ; while many of the Australian species are very luminous, North American species tend to emit less light and require adjustment to the dark before they can be seen.2 Reports of these fungi date back to Pliny the Elder in the first century, who described luminescent white wood-decaying mushrooms in France. Even earlier, Aristotle had commented on glowing rotten wood, now known to be a product of the luminescent mycelium within, a subject which continued to be one of great mystery throughout European history2,4. In 1555, Swede Olaus Magnus published A Compendious History of the Goths, Swedes, and Vandals and Other Northern Nations, which mentioned numerous luminescent mushrooms such as the "Agarick" and their connection to wood decay; he also described the practical use of mycelia-infested bark (often called "Foxfire" or "Faerie fire") by Scandinavians during long winter nights. The practical uses of these mushrooms extended to other areas of the globe as well; in the late 17th Century in Herbarium Amboiense, Dutch physician G.E. Rumph commented on how Indonesian natives used bioluminescent mushrooms as primitive flashlights. And even in 20th Century Micronesia, these special mushrooms were incorporated into ritual headdresses and warfare face paint.4
Various other organisms also bioluminesce. Many people are most familiar with the firefly, which emits flashes of light produced by the pigment oxyluciferin. Numerous studies have revealed their flickers act as a form of communication between individuals and are vital in the selection of mates. Firefly larvae similarly glow–perhaps in order to advertise their unpalatability and so discourage predation.1,5 The femme fatale Photurus firefly is a particular case— she uses her light to attract and consume eager male fireflies of other species.1 Another fluorescent insect is the fungus gnat (whose light abilities are unrelated to the mushrooms in which they reside). These flies bioluminesce primarily to attract prey to their webs, although other uses include deterring predators, displaying larval strength to neighboring aggressive larvae, and locating mates.7 A handful of marine animals incorporate symbiosis with fluorescent bacteria into their predatory behavior. Deep sea flashlight fish and female anglerfish use this light to attract prey in the dark depths of the oceans.3 Cookiecutter sharks use their luminescent undersides in the opposite manner; the emitted blue-green camouflages with the surrounding ocean so only a small black patch is visible. Other predatory fish, such as tuna, perceive the shark to be much smaller than it really is, and when these other fish approach their 'prey', the shark attacks (and subsequently consumes) its predator8.
In comparison, bioluminescence in mushrooms is often assumed to play roles in spore dispersal and increased survival. Unlike some marine species, fluorescence in mushrooms is produced without endosymbionts. One fundamental effect of mushrooms' light, as shown by Sivinskif, is its ability to more successfully lure arthropods, in particular Collembola and Diptera. These bugs may aid in spore dispersal, much as the stench of stinkhorns does. Appealing to arthropods at night could give bioluminescent mushrooms an additional half day advantage over their non-luminescent counterparts, assuming insects would eat or pick up the spores and then drop them elsewhere. Alternatively, perhaps the mushrooms are unsavory to insects and luminescence emphasizes their toxicity at night. Illumination may also discourage negatively phototropic fungivores, especially those found in the soil (hence one explanation for why the mycelia of these species also glow). Luminescence might also attract carnivores to eat arthropods on the mushrooms, with the assumption that if more carnivores than insects are attracted, then predators of the fungus are limited overall.6,7 But not all hypotheses are centered around the relationships of the fungus with other organisms. All known glowing mushrooms are wood decayers that can digest lignin, a particularly big and difficult molecule that helps bind the cellulose fibers of wood together. An alternative idea is that bioluminescence is a side-product of lignin degradation: Reactions that lead to light production may generate antioxidants to protect the fungus from toxic peroxides released during lignin digestion.2
The next time you step out in the woods at night, leave your flashlight home–if you look closely enough, you may find yourself face-to-face with one of these fascinating bioluminescent mushrooms.

This is absolutely incredible! I have heard of bioluminescent mushrooms before and wondered what may be the scientific reason behind this. It sounds like the reason has not been pinned down, just like much in mycology. With fungi being such a mysterious part of our world, I love to see articles such as this spreading insight.
Thanks, for this post. I never new that mushrooms glow in the dark. This is real life pandora. Truly fascinating bioluminescent mushrooms.
Well that is truly beautiful, amazing really, I think it's much cooler to see bioluminescence in marine animals like jellyfish. I'd love to see these in person as opposed to just images.

Cruise Ports - Cruise Line Deals
Carnival Cruise Lines is offering cruises from from Charleston. Carnival is featuring Carnival Fantasy, offering 5-night Bahamas cruises, as well as 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruises from South Carolina.
South Carolina was created in 1710 when King Charles I divided the Carolina territory into two states, north and south. The first permanent English settlement was near Charleston, and the sub-tropical weather and fertile soil attracted settlers from many parts of Europe, establishing plantations of rice and indigo throughout the coastal low country. The plantations flourished due to slaves brought in from Africa to provide labor (by 1720 they formed the majority of the population). As a result, South Carolina was one of the richest colonies in the New World by the time of the American Revolution.

War Games: 'Automatic Revolver' (detail) combines old marketing with new warmongering.
Funk Daddy
Painter Wally Hedrick goes on strike
By Gretchen Giles
When Secretary of State Colin Powell stood in the United Nations Security Council on Feb. 5, where hangs a tapestry reproduction of Guernica, and urged the world's approval for the United States' rabid bid to wage war on Iraq, staffers thought it prudent to stage a cover-up. Asserting that throwing a blue cloth over Pablo Picasso's searing indictment of the horrors of war was simply better for the TV cameras, they shrouded the screaming horse, the keening woman, the dead soldier, and the other wreckage so that Powell could urge sanctioned murder without any disturbing renderings of its facts peeking distastefully out.
A week later, Laura Bush canceled a symposium titled "Poetry and the American Voice" as it became apparent that her invited voices might mouth a torrent of that terrible weapon known as iambic pentameter in opposition to her husband's plans.
Why are paintings and poetry--surely pleasing to the eye and ear as practiced by innocents the world over--suddenly hidden or forsworn by intimates of the White House? Because art, crudely put, is very fucking powerful.
Dreading the rumbles of yet another war, Bodega painter Wally Hedrick hides and forswears right back. A nationally acclaimed artist, he's chosen to go on strike, denying society new services while boldly forcing forward the efforts of the past.
Re-re-recycling paintings as well as showing a crop of newer representational works, he offers "Wally Hedrick: Preemptive Peace" at the Sonoma State University Art Gallery.
Now hovering somewhere around 73 years of age, Hedrick was forcibly conscripted off the street by military police for service in the Korean war, a savage grab that didn't even allow him time to notify his parents of his whereabouts, and which cemented his hatred of war. A founder of the influential 6 Gallery, a collective of artists and poets that formed the nucleus of the Bay Area Beat movement and hosted Allen Ginsberg's first public reading of Howl, Hedrick evolved into a progenitor of the California Funk movement, recycling boomtime America's trash into art and modestly supporting himself by running a West Marin fix-it shop.
This short encapsulation of 73 vibrant years neglects many details and may sound somewhat grim, but grimness is emphatically not a Hedrick trait. Anger, yes. Puns and wordplay, always.
"Preemptive Peace" is largely given over to his mammoth black paintings, their surfaces stippled and rocky, viscous as foul oil, under which lurk protests to two previous wars and original, presumably jollier, images created before our troops settled in for the long haul in Southeast Asia. Back then, Hedrick took extant paintings and obscured their viewing by covering them in mournful black. During what we all now seem to be calling the "first" Gulf War, he inscribed in white paint such characteristic slogans as "So damn, whose sane?" across the paintings' negative surfaces.
For what is poised to become the second Gulf War, these same canvases have returned to the scarred void of denial, with the addition of one new piece, clearly titled It'$ 4 Oil and SUV's. Most significant in this group of work is The Black Room, a set of eight 11-foot high canvases that are conjoined, replete with a door, into an awful meditation room that one can hunker uncomfortably within.
Hedrick has long been projecting original pages from Sears Roebuck catalogs and bygone advertising onto his canvases, and faithfully tracing them, old ink spots and all, in tribute to Marcel Duchamp's idea of the readymade.
The oversized bold and colorful works of the gallery's other rooms initially delight until the reading eye focuses on such pieces as Automatic Revolver and sees that the ad copy has been altered to a near pornographic rumination on the titillating phallic furor of the firearm.
As Hedrick has spent a career reinforcing: Subversive, smart, and wise--art is that powerful.
'Wally Hedrick: Preemptive Peace,' exhibits through March 16 at the Sonoma State University Art Gallery, 1801 E. Cotati Ave., Rohnert Park. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday, 11am-4pm; Saturday-Sunday, noon-4pm. Free. 707.664.2295.

You have no items in your shopping basket
Nothing stops moving when intelligent conveyor technology is in use. Conveyor technology allows you to stimulate and systematise transport routes within the company. However, do actually know what had a decisive influence on the conveyor technology as we know it today? American abattoirs! After all, from the mid 19th century onwards, the population of the USA tripled and food production needed to be structured more efficiently. Production line technology may this easy to realise. Just a few decades later, Henry Ford revolutionised automobile production with his conveyor belts: the twelve hours that were once necessary to produce a vehicle could be cut to just 93 minutes. That made production much more cost efficient and thereby made the vehicle much more affordable for the end customer.
Today's conveyor belt technology also aims to organise complex processes more efficiently. While setting up your automated transport solutions, you should keep the following in mind: speed is the highest priority, and material flows must proceed as smoothly as possible. Loads both heavy and light can be transported using a conveyor system: individual items and long goods, pallets and drums, but also packages and small boxes. We have products that are suitable for this, such as roller conveyors with a max. load of 150 daN between two feet, skate wheel conveyors for a light conveyor belt system, or ball unit tables that are flexible in every direction. The specific factors at your company must also be considered, whether it's uneven surfaces, limited space or hazardous substances. In these cases, selecting the right materials is of utmost importance: this is why we give you a choice between conveyor belt system products made of steel, aluminium, or plastic. For inclines, corners or long distances you should purchase an additional drive: electric or with a round belt and, if needed, in a suitable combination for non-driven rolls. We gladly help you select your unique conveyor belt solution for your company logistics. Contact us.

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen the latest photos of my trip to the Royal National Park! It was a perfect day trip, so if you find yourself in Sydney yearning for an excursion with stunning coastal views and a chance to refresh at the beach, this is a great area to check out! Here's the info on how to get there using public transport.
- Make your way to Cronulla. So the first step is to hop on a train. I used my Opal card and took the train from Lewisham (my suburb) to Cronulla. It took me about an hour since I had to transfer at Redfern station. From Redfern (near Central), the train ride was about 40 minutes.
- Catch a ferry to Bundeena. The ferry port is quite close to the Cronulla train station. My friend and I followed other people who looked like they were ready for a hike and we found ourselves at the pier. You can pay for the ferry on board in cash only!! No credit, debit, EFTPOS, or Opal cards are accepted. It was $6.40 one-way for me as a regular adult, and here's a list with prices for others (discounts for students, family, etc). On the website, you can also access the ferry timetables and check for delays based on weather. The ride was about 20-30 minutes long. If you need to grab some snacks or food before your trip, there were some cafes and grocery marts at the Cronulla train station exit where I bought some water, prosciutto, bread, bananas, apples, kombucha, and a chocolate bar 🙂
- Follow signs to Royal National Park. Once you've taken the lovely ferry ride and arrived in Bundeena, keep an eye out for signs that point you towards the Royal National Park! We had to walk through residential areas for a while, but eventually you'll find your way to the park! If not, Google Maps is always helpful 😉
- Follow the trail for as long as your heart (and feet) desire. We followed the main coastal trail that took us to several beautiful viewpoints overlooking the ocean, Wedding Cake Rock, and Marley Beach. We went on Sunday and the trail was not very crowded. I think in total we walked about 10-12 km (roughly 6-8 miles) round-trip. The beach had some fishers and sun bathers, but no one was taking the opportunity to swim! The water was surprisingly warm and the waves were mild. After splashing around and swimming for a while, I decided to take a nap on the beach before heading back to the ferry. It was bliss!
My itinerary for the day just covers a small portion of the park. It'd be awesome to camp overnight and see more! Here's the website for additional info on trails and other sights to see in the park.

We just received a wonderful note from a reader in Australia. He was looking for clarification on a couple of points in recent articles.
He asked about the Red Storey reference in the article on the Habs' 100th anniversary, asking for details on why Storey resigned. I wrote that I thought Storey might have quit during the 1960 playoffs between Chicago and Montreal. I remember reading Storey's biography some years ago, and he wrote extensively about the events that led to his stepping down. Checking back, it actually occurred the year before, I believe, in the spring of 1959, when the two teams were playing in the semi-finals. Then NHL president Clarence Campbell apparently told reporters Storey had "frozen" in not calling a penalty against Montreal late in a game in Chicago. Storey was, rightly, so upset, he resigned. I'm not sure (I'll have to re-read Storey's book) if that was also the night that some irate fans ran on to the ice at one point, and Doug Harvey slugged one of them.
The other question was about my reference to Henri Richard's goal against the Leafs in the playoffs in 1962. The two teams didn't play each other in the playoffs that year, of course. I've written about that memory earlier, and it happened in a game in Toronto in the 1964 playoffs. In fact, if you click on that story "It was worth the drive to Chatham", we have a great photo of the Richard goal I'm referring to in that series.

500 I Ave
Map & Directions
The Guemes Island Ferry departs from a small dock in Anacortes and is a quick 5-minute ride over to Fidalgo's neighboring island of Guemes. Made up of mostly residential homes, Guemes is home to Anderson's General Store where you could pick up a few supplies if staying on the island or grab lunch before hitting the beach for some sea glass hunting.
2100 Ferry Terminal Rd
Map & Directions
The WA State Ferry that leaves from Anacortes provides access to San Juan Island/Friday Harbor, Orcas Island, Lopez Island, Shaw Island, and to Sidney B.C. There is parking at the ferry terminal for a daily fee, but the only island that we would suggest walking onto the ferry would be San Juan; the town of Friday Harbor is home to many shops, restaurants and lodging just steps off the ferry. For all other islands, we suggest driving your car on that way you can get around and explore.

G&L Bolnar Engineering, one of South Australia's largest general engineering firms, has acquired a second large CNC programmable brake press to facilitate the demands of the mining, transport, structural and general engineering sectors.
The company invested in a new Ursviken six metre, 320-tonne bending machine to complement its existing 640-tonne unit during ongoing peak market demand.
Among recent large-scale projects, Bolnar has supplied folded plates and pipes to the major renewal at Spencer Street Station (renamed Southern Cross Station) in Melbourne.
The jobbing company specialises in general, mechanical, structural and plate fabrication and has large workshops linked to a well equipped forming services division.
Managing director Harry Bolnar says the technical and performance aspects of this new Ursviken 320-tonne unit hold specific advantages to the type of fabrication the workshop performs.
"The Ursviken 6m 340-tonne has CNC controlled six-axis back gauges and a variable bottom die which is a very big advantage as it cuts down on die change over times during production," Mr Bolnar said.
"This is particularly advantageous when doing one-off or two-off work, which until now had normally been very costly to run as it involved constant die changeovers.
"But with die changeovers all but ruled out now, we can do the lighter projects very readily without losing margins and without waiting to slot it into a more favourable job schedule - therefore it is better service to our customers," he said.
"Since investing in this new machine, we have built up our capacity by at least 30 to 40%.
"We also operate very big Roundo section rollers R11S, R6, R4 so we do almost everything demanded by these industries. We rolled all the pipes for the Spencer Street Station rebuild."
Before purchasing the Ursviken 320-tonne unit, Bolnar Engineering investigated the global market to try to find another machine - of any brand - to meet and match the performance characteristics of is existing 640-tonne machine.
"After extensive testing and analysis, it was the Ursviken that performed up to the expectation of the company," Mr Bolnar said.
"Other brands were put through stringent tests, but the quality didn't meet that of the Ursviken.
"Our existing machine is just over eight years old, so we are confident of gaining an equally long service life from our new technology as we look to expand out markets further."
Ursviken is represented in Australia by Power Machinery .

Long time, no blog! I'm going to be playing a little catch up over the next few weeks with some updates from my 2017 weddings – it was such a fun (and extremely busy!) season and I am so excited to finally share some of the images my incredible clients and I created together.
Joe & Kayla's celebration was - hands down - a true reflection of their awesome, badass, laid back personalities. The setting was the first clue it was going to be a blast – Virginia International Raceway, or VIR, is a premier "motorsport resort," offering a top notch road course set among beautiful hills and forest backdrops. Both the bride and groom race motorcycles, and one of the highlights of the day was creating a "burnout portrait" with the couple's Ducati motorcycle. The day was filled with lovely surprises, from Joe's "unconventional" entry into the ceremony to the stunning rainbow after a passing storm. It was a privilege to be a part of Joe & Kayla's big day, and I wish the couple all the best in their future together!
