Photography evokes a range of emotions in us. And it's not always the expected moments, but often those unique "happened upon" moments that we remember most. Every photographer should be a killer storyteller. I love to tell stories.
Editor's Note: for this Best Wedding Photographers in Dallas Spotlight, we had the pleasure of interviewing Christie, from Azure Photography.
We have been featured in several publications in New England and websites.
We are a husband and wife team and we bring a lot of personality to our work. I dare say we are sassy. People love working with us because we make them feel relaxed and as if we have known each other forever. We feel more like "friends" than photographers because of how we build our relationships.
As a psychology/photography major I truly appreciate human relationships. There is no more wonderful day to be a part of, than a wedding day. To be able to fully experience a range of emotions and relationships in a person's life is an honor.
I started working with a portrait studio while I was still in college and fell in love with photographing weddings. The excitement and "once in a lifetime" aspects are truly beyond compare in the realm of photography.
We are so happy we chose Azure Photography for our wedding. Christie is extremely professional and detail-oriented. She responds to e-mails almost instantly and is so accommodating. Unlike many other photographers, Christie has an educational background in photography which sets her apart. She has the technical expertise and artistic vision necessary to obtain a beautiful photograph. She also has the perfect balance between giving direction and being open to the bride and groom's own vision for photos. She also has a very fun personality and I knew she would help me to stay calm on my wedding day. In addition, she goes above and beyond by including little 'extras' such as a bottle of champagne and glasses which really made us feel special. Do not hesitate to choose Azure for your big day! You will be glad you did.
Azure Photography was the perfect fit for our wedding. Christie and Adam are an awesome blend of professionalism and fun (you definitely don't want to spend your entire wedding day with a photographer you don't like…). Our photos capture the most important moments of the wedding and reflect our personalities. Definitely a great value – would highly recommend!

Mr. Cohen's advocacy continues to pave the way for consumers across the nation to be able to redress their grievances against some of the nation's largest corporations. Some of Mr. Cohen's appellate achievements on behalf of consumers are summarized below:
STATE SUPREME COURT VICTORIES
Mr. Cohen's first State Supreme Court victory occurred on February 16, 2005 when he convinced the Wisconsin Supreme Court in Mayberry v. Volkswagen of America, Inc. , 692 N.W.2d 226, 2005-1 Trade Cases P 74,710, 2005 WI 13 (Feb. 16, 2005) in a unanimous (7-0) decision to allow a consumer's claim to proceed for breach of warranty pursuant to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act despite the fact that the consumer had traded-in the subject vehicle for more money than it was worth at the time of trade. The Wisconsin Supreme Court determined that for a breach of warranty action, damages are measured at the time and place of acceptance, i.e., when originally sold as "new" as opposed to at some later moment in time. The Court also concluded that layperson testimony from the owner of a vehicle may form the basis of establishing diminished value damages irrespective of the amount received on trade. The Court's decision reversed a previous trial court order dismissing Ms. Mayberry's action.
Less than one week later, on February 22, 2005 in Hyundai Motor America, Inc. v. Goodin , 822 N.E.2d 947 (Feb. 22, 2005), Mr. Cohen successfully convinced the Indiana Supreme Court in a unanimous (5-0) decision to abolish the doctrine of privity of contract, a direct buyer-seller relationship, as a requirement for suing a car manufacturer regarding the merchantability or fitness of an automobile pursuant to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Whereas prior to this decision a consumer could only pursue a merchantability claim against a car dealer, presuming that the dealer had not disclaimed the claim in the fine print of the purchase documents, the door was now open to pursue these claims against manufacturers and distributors of consumer products. Further, the Court's opinion reinstated Ms. Goodin's favorable jury verdict and reversed the Appellate Court for taking away the verdict.
On May 27, 2005, Mr. Cohen prevailed again before the Wisconsin Supreme Court in Peterson v. Volkswagen of America, Inc. , 697 N.W.2d 61 (May 27, 2005) in a unanimous (7-0) decision. In Peterson, the Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed with Mr. Cohen's argument that leased vehicles are covered by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in contravention to a New York high court decision from 2002, DiCintio v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., 97 N.Y.2d 463, 742 N.Y.S.2d 182, 768 N.E.2d 1121 (2002). The Court noted that the reasoning of the authorities relied upon by Mr. Cohen, mainly other cases in which he had prevailed on this same issue, was more congruent with the plain meaning of the pertinent provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act than the analysis employed by the New York high court in DiCintio. The Court's decision reversed a previous trial court order dismissing Ms. Peterson's action.
On December 7, 2005, Mr. Cohen successfully convinced the Indiana Supreme Court in Daimler Chrysler Corp. v. Yaeger , 838 N.E.2d 449, 449-50 (Ind. 2005) to dismiss an appeal brought by Chrysler. After the trial court denied Chrysler's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint and compel arbitration, Chrysler brought an interlocutory appeal without first seeking trial court certification. Mr. Cohen filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, which a majority of a panel of the Court of Appeals denied, holding that it had discretion to address the appeal under Indiana Appellate Rule 66(B). The Indiana Supreme Court granted transfer and reversed the Appellate Court finding that the Indiana Appellate did not authorize Chrysler's interlocutory appeal.
Mr. Cohen then prevailed on June 29, 2006 before the Illinois Supreme Court in Razor v. Hyundai Motor America, Inc. , 222 Ill. 2d 75 (2006) certiorari denied by Hyundai Motor America v. Razor, 127 S.Ct. 1156 (2007). In Razor, the Illinois Supreme Court held that Hyundai's disclaimer of consequential damages, i.e., aggravation and inconvenience and loss of use, was unconscionable thus allowing a consumer access to these damages despite the fine print in Hyundai's warranty provided after the purchase transaction was consummated. The Court also held that Ms. Razor, a layperson, should have been allowed to testify to the value of her own automobile in order to establish her diminished value damages at the time she originally purchased her automobile pursuant to her claim for breach of warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
On April 12, 2007, Mr. Cohen prevailed before the Florida Supreme Court in American Honda Motor Company, Inc. v. Cerasani , 955 So.2d 543 (Fl. 2007) in a unanimous (7-0) decision. In Cerasani, Honda appealed to the Florida Supreme Court after Mr. Cohen had prevailed at the appellate level and reversed the trial court's order dismissing the consumer's breach of warranty claims. The Florida Supreme Court certified the appellate level decision as being in conflict with Sellers v. Frank Griffin AMC Jeep, Inc., 526 So. 2d 147 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988) (finding that the leased vehicle at issue was not covered by the Warranty Act) and agreed to hear the case. Relying upon authority from cases successfully handled by Mr. Cohen on this same issue, including Peterson listed above, the Florida Supreme Court disapproved Sellers and affirmed the District Court of Appeal's decision that leased automobiles are covered by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
On September 20, 2007, Mr. Cohen prevailed a second time before the Illinois Supreme Court in Mydlach v. DaimlerChrysler Corporation , 875 N.E.2d 1047. In Mydlach, the trial court dismissed the plaintiff's breach of warranty action brought pursuant to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act finding that the claim was barred by the statute of limitations since the vehicle at issue, purchased used by Ms. Mydlach, was originally sold as "new" more than four (4) years from the date the plaintiff filed suit against DaimlerChrysler. After Mr. Cohen prevailed on appeal before the Illinois Appellate Court, the Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Court's reversal of the trial court's dismissal order. While the Illinois Supreme Court did find that a "used" car purchaser could not revoke acceptance of the vehicle against DaimlerChrysler, the Illinois Supreme Court held that the plaintiff's breach of warranty claim was not barred by the statute of limitations and that the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provided an independent cause of action for the plaintiff to pursue a claim for monetary damages against DaimlerChrysler. The Illinois Supreme Court ultimately concluded that the statute of limitations for a breach of warranty could not begin to toll until there was at least a failure on the part of the warrantor to comply with its obligations to repair.

Mr. Cohen has also successfully handled the following appeals:
Mrugala v. Fairfield Ford, Inc. , 325 Ill. App. 3d 484; 758 N.E.2d 423 (1st Dist.

SLIGHT CURL TO THE LAYOUT EDGES. MASTERFULLY DONE! Incredible, ONE of ONLY ONE EVER MADE. A RARE piece of HO Slot Car Advertising & Printing History.
In the days before computer design was widely used, Toy companies like TYCO Ind., would contract an outside artist/design firm to make a rendering of their ideas for box or card backgrounds. This work was then approved & brought to a Very High End Photographer, who would in turn, would produce a very High Resolution Photograph from a $50,000 camera. That photograph was then Scanned in, often on a $50,000 Drum Scanner, to a computer for final processing ($25K, if one was around.) From this point, In-House Employees of TYCO would design, print & Overlay the details of the CARD ART or BOX ART they were creating. Wording, overlays of the Track Layout, Fine Print, Bar Codes etc were made to the scale of the ARTWORK & then submitted for approvals. Finally, in some cases, plastic Separations were made in Primary Colors to attach to the Printing Press for the Final Product.
An Amazing Trip from Conception to the Finished Product we enjoyed as a toy. You will never look at your Race Sets or Package Art the same!

Programs to Fight Recidivism
fighting recidivism
Changing perceptions
Changing Perceptions was conceived by Will Avila, a returning citizen who was sentenced to adult-incarceration at the age of 16 years, and spent 10 years in-and-out of prison, struggling to transition back into the community.
Will, like so many other returning citizens, experienced first-hand the challenges—and rejections—that came with transitioning back into society and the workforce. Finally, in 2014 he decided to start a for-profit business, Clean Decisions (commercial kitchen cleaning and general labor services.)
Will dreamt of helping employ returning citizens—people like him—who longed for an opportunity to prove to society they are worth investing in.
Clean Decisions has successfully provided full- and part-time employment to over 30 people, and they have a 100% anti-recidivism rate. However, in addition to employment, what the year highlighted was the desperate need for therapeutic and supportive services. Returning citizens not only struggle to find employment, but they also need training and counseling to help them successfully transition back into contributing members of society.
Thus emerged Changing Perceptions.
The Nuts and Bolts
Changing Perceptions is a non-profit organization that supports previously incarcerated citizens as they re-enter communities throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Our organizational model is client-centered, proven effective and successful, and focused on initiating and expanding public-private partnerships for the development and implementation of strategies that address barriers to reentry.
Each participant at Changing Perceptions receives individualized services and is supported in a family-like atmosphere which fosters care, growth, and inspires positive expectations.
Changing Perceptions is creating innovative solutions to the most significant barrier for many re-entrants: housing. Our organization currently uses one house that serves as a central location for our current re-entrants. Yet, this location is more than just a residence; it is a support network that itself is a critical component of reducing recidivism. Based on its overwhelming success, we are currently working to partner with multiple housing developers.
Changing Perceptions also offers workforce development training and education courses, in conjunction with civic-minded, local businesses who have partnered with us. Additionally, we offer entrepreneurial training in industries with the most demonstrable potential to recover, grow, and hire in the post-global pandemic era.

Jewish couple in Belgium afraid to leave house after antisemitic harassment and death threats
A Jewish woman named Nicole, 43, and her husband, have been left afraid to leave their house after persistent antisemitic harassment.
Nicole and her husband have lived in Marchienne-au-Pont for two and a half years, the last two months of which has seen them ensure antisemitic harassment, including death threats, damage to their home, verbal abuse and physical aggression.
Recently a Star of David was painted onto their door. The couple also appears to have been sent large amounts of hate mail.
"A few people have discovered that we are Jews. Since then we have been threatened with death" she said. Their treatment highlights the increasingly hostile environment that many Jews are subjected to across mainland Europe.

Belgian TV station unable to find a single Jew to agree to wear a yarmulke in public in light of rise in antisemitic attacks
Ms Natasha Mann, a reporter for the Belgian broadcaster RTBF was preparing a report on antisemitism in Belgium. As part of the report, Ms Mann wanted to have a visual of a Jewish volunteer being seen in Brussels wearing a yarmulke. However, for fear of being attacked, she was unable to find any volunteers from the Jewish community.
The reluctance for Jews publicly identify as such is not new. For the last ten years, many observant Jews in Brussels have been wearing caps or hats to avoid being seen publicly as Jews. This reluctance has come because of a steady rise in antisemitic incidents over the last decade, not just in Belgium, but as a rising trend sweeping across Europe. This was confirmed by Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, who recognized that "we've seen an increase in antisemitic incidents all across Europe." The Belgian Prime Minister's resolve to quash antisemitism remains resolute: "our solidarity in the fight against antisemitism is uncompromised and unequivocal."
Unfortunately, the Prime Minister's words do not echo the sentiments felt amongst the Jewish community in Belgium. After three weeks of looking for a Jewish volunteer to be part of the report, Ms Mann had to give up. The reason being that the Jewish community is so afraid of vocal antisemites that not even the community leaders were willing to participate.
Ms Mann contacted several Rabbis. However, after finding out which neighbourhood she wanted the project to take place in, they declined. Joel Rubinfield, the president of the Belgian league against antisemitism, agreed to do the story, but only if he were escorted by a security officer; due to logistical issues this did not happen. The story ran without the visual Mann wanted: a dark reminder of how fearful the Jewish community in Belgium is today.
The tragic situation currently facing the Jewish community in Belgium was perhaps most aptly summarised by an anonymous Jewish individual, who Ms Mann had asked to volunteer for the visual. He said he was sick of being harassed for being a Jew; Ms Mann asked him, "Do you complain to police when you hear antisemitic insults?", to which he responded: "Do you complain to police when men whistle at you in the street?" sadly highlighting how common and trivialized these attacks have become in Belgian society.

Shomrim have confirmed that there is an investigation into an alleged antisemitic assault in Antwerp.
A Haredi man was walking home from his Synagogue after the Kabbalat Shabbat service on Friday night when he was accosted by a man who is reportedly a recent convert to Islam.
The assailant allegedly hurled antisemitic abuse at him and punched him in the face, leaving him requiring medical treatment.
The police arrived promptly and arrested the man, who is now under investigation.
Jewish institutions in Antwerp require extra police protection due to the high probability of antisemitic attacks. The image for this article, showing a Haredi man cycling in Antwerp as an armed guard watches on, was not taken on Shabbat.

UK Labour Party refuses to discipline MEP over "Nazi" tweet
Investigators from Campaign Against Antisemitism have discovered an antisemitic tweet by British Labour politician Afzal Khan. On 2nd August 2014, Khan tweeted a link to an article from which he quoted, "The Israeli Government are [sic] acting like Nazi's [sic] in Gaza."
https://twitter.com/akhanmep/status/495489693010505728
Archived version
Khan is a Labour Member of the European Parliament for the North West and sits on various European Parliament committees including the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Budget Committee and the Security and Defence Committee, of which he is Vice Chair.
According to the definition of antisemitism that was first adopted by the European Union itself, "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis" is antisemitic.
His use of the Nazi slur is surprising given Khan's prominence in interfaith dialogue work. He is co-founder of The Muslim Jewish Forum of Greater Manchester and was awarded a CBE for his community and interfaith work in 2008.
However the Labour Party has declined to investigate or discipline Khan, instead issuing a short statement: "These views are not shared by the Labour Party and Afzal Khan MEP has been reminded of his responsibilities as a Labour representative."
Campaign Against Antisemitism has responded critically, saying: "This is yet another signal sent to the Jewish community that the Labour Party is not taking its antisemitism problem seriously. We have seen repeated signs that Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party operates a zero tolerance policy against racism, but only when convenient. When it costs the party politically, antisemites go unpunished, whether it's Father of the House, Sir Gerald Kaufman MP, or now Afzal Khan MEP. Suspending Khan would cost Labour politically in the European Parliament, so presumably that is why he has been reminded not to be antisemitic instead of being suspended and investigated."

Belgian newspaper and Holocaust denier face action over interview claiming Nazi gas chambers were harmless
A Belgian daily paper, De Morgen, published an interview earlier this month, in which Siegfried Verbeke, a far-right symathiser with multiple convictions for inciting racial hatred against Jews and Holocaust denial, said: "Of course gas chambers existed, hundreds of them. To disinfect the clothes of people who went through them. But gas chambers designed to kill people never existed, no."
Under Belgian law, Holocaust denial is illegal, and the state's authority for combatting discrimination, has said that it may take legal action against Verbeke for his statement.
A Jewish newspaper, Joods Actueel, has also lodged an official complaint with the Belgian Council for Journalism, against De Morgen itself for "violation of ethics".

EU labour movement president reported to Brussels police for alleged antisemitic assault
The president of an EU labour movement has reportedly been named in a complaint to police following an antisemitic assault at a café near EU headquarters in Brussels. According to the complaint, the EU official, Stefan Gersh, was holding a metal plaque bearing the name "Mussolini". Another EU official — who is not Jewish — confronted him, saying that Mussolini was "still a dictator". Gersh allegedly then said: "Dirty Jewess … Hitler should have exterminated all Jews, just like Jews today are exterminating Palestinians." It is alleged that Gersh then hit her with the plaque, and when others at the café interceded he shouted: "All you Jews should have been killed."

After not having been here for more than twelve years, I am curious to re-visit the historic district of Paramaribo and see if it has changed at all. I search my memory for images of the buildings of the capital of Surinam, and when I see the first traditional buildings, those memories come back, and blend in with what I see before my eyes. I soon conclude that not much seems to have changed here. On my way back from a cycling tour on the east bank of the Suriname River, I cross the Wijdenbosch bridge, and after cycling through seemingly rundown outskirts of the city, it is easy to see where the historic district starts. Whitewashed wooden buildings rise above me, and even if some of them have flaking paint, they still have an elegant look, And the good thing is: many of the buildings still survive!
The historic inner city of Paramaribo was declared a World Heritage Site in 2002, and it is easy to see why. Apart from looking attractive, the buildings are a symbol of the multicultural fusion that is Surinam. Influences from the Netherlands, the Americas, coupled with those of the local population and building materials make for an original collection of buildings. In some, you can see a brick base topped with a wooden building. They may have external stone staircases with curly handrails, and elegantly shaped gables, similar to those you might find in The Netherlands. Then, others are completely constructed from wood, and have wooden columns supporting balconies, like you would find in the Caribbean or even southern United States. And then, I do not think I ever saw two identical buildings: they all have their particular character.
After cycling around the inner city in the afternoon, enjoying the warm sunlight on the Presidential Palace, I am back just after sunrise the next morning. I have more time now, taking a closer look at the Court of Justice and the Ministry of Finance, two remarkable buildings on Independence Square, and then cycle around without much of a plan, just following my nose and directing my bike to wherever it looks nice. I criss-cross the historic centre, see the sun casting its light on the white buildings, and the coloured shutters. I often get off the bike, and walk around, before continuing on my exploration of Paramaribo. It is a Saturday morning and the streets are all but empty. Sure enough, there are several modern buildings as well, but as long as I stay within the boundaries of the historic district, the streets are filled with architectural beauties.

Linger longer II: The Legend of Jimmy's Gold
Leave a comment Posted by Gravediggers Local 16 on May 30, 2009
Opie and Anthony fans are well acquainted with Jim Norton's multi-talented character, "Ted Sheckler." In this installment, Ted looks back on his career as a ghost hunter. First we have the full-length (audio only) version uploaded by Yarsh29:
As with most great Youtube videos, neither of these are "work safe." By way, am I the only one who's noticed that all the ghost hunters on television basically act like Ted? Despite going to places for the sole purpose of looking for evidence of the paranormal, they run away screaming bloody murder if anything actually happens!
Oh May! George Takei and Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
I recently discovered that May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Seeing as the GdL strives to be all-inclusive, I haven chosen to celebrate by devoting this entry to the famous Japanese-American named George Takei. Although most people think of him as "Lt. Hikaru Sulu" from Star Trek or the funny guy who joked about raping Tim Hardaway, Mr. Takei has done so much more than that in the world of horror/sci-fi.
George Hosato Takei (now George Hosato Takei Altman)was born in Los Angeles, California during the year 1937. He began his Hollywood career doing uncredited dubbing work for the American versions of Rodan (1957-US version) and Gigantis the Fire Monster (1959-US version) (aka Godzilla Raids Again). Decades later, Takei would reveal the rationale for the bizarre (and out-of-date) "banana oil" line during an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Another noteworthy event in his early acting career was his appearance on a controversial (and somewhat supernatural) episode of The Twilight Zone called "The Encounter" in 1964. Perhaps drawing upon the time when his family and he were forced to live in internment camps during World War II, Takei played a young Japanese-American and the tension he faces with a racist WWII veteran.
In 1966, he got a part on a show that made him famous: Star Trek (1966-1969). Not surprisingly, he also appeared in the animated series (1973-1974), the various Star Trek movies (1979-1991) and an appearance on Star Trek: Voyager (1996). His fame from the Trek franchise (and his talent) also led to appearances in other genre films and television shows, such as his appearances in the sci-fi western films Oblivion (1994) and Oblivion II: Backlash (1996). This was followed by an appearance on the television series Space Cases (1997) and a part in the movie Bug Buster (1998). More recently, he has appeared in AI Assault (2006), the short film Showdown of the Godz (2008), an episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2009) and a role in the animated movie Scooby-Doo and the Samurai Sword (2009). Personally, I find his role in Showdown of the Godz to be particularly interesting, as be plays the fictional owner of the real-life Monster Sushi restaurant.
For those who want to read about the non sci-fi/horror aspects of George Takei's life and career (including his work in politics), I recommend visiting the following:

What better way for Gravedigger's Local 16 to celebrate this fine day than to pay tribute to K. Gordon Murray? Not only was he the son of a funeral parlor director, but he's also responsible for bringing tons of Mexican horror movies to the America. If not for him, many would not have experienced weird and wonderful films like The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy, The Brainiac, Doctor of Doom, and The Vampire's Coffin. He was also the first person to introduce the greatness that is El Santo to English-speaking audiences, albeit renamed as "Samson." To learn more about Mr. Murray and the films he distributed, check out "The Wonder World of K. Gordon Murray" and his Wikipedia entry.
Old news and new news
I was talking with the Abominable N. Oremac recently about the upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street remake and he informed me that Variety has reported that Jackie Earle Haley is going to be the new Freddy Krueger. Although I'm glad the oft-rumored for the role Billy Bob Thornton didn't get the part, I would have cast Ryan Stiles. I know it's an odd-sounding choice, but the man looks eerily like Robert Englund did in his younger days. Then again, I wouldn't have even greenlit the remake if it were up to me.
Remember that post I did about the "Lost Collection" from Lionsgate? Well, I have some bad news. The Amazon.com reviews for the Slaughter High DVD reveal that the transfer is full frame and poor looking. In fact, it sounds like they just reused the print from the 2007 FEARnet showing. Unless this was truly the only print that was available (including checking for old theatrical prints), this is simply inexcusable. I'm shocked that Lionsgate took such a gigantic step backward.
Speaking of Fearnet, I noticed that the latest updates for the Comcast cable version include Phantasm II and all the Toxic Avenger movies. All I can say is: HELL. YES.
Wait, that's not true. I can also note how this (and the recent showing of the first and fourth Toxic Avenger movies on G4) destroys Lloyd Kaufman's theory of cable channels having some sort of anti-Troma grudge. Personally, I suspect that the reason cable channels weren't trying to play Troma stuff around that time was due to the fact that DirecTV already had the licenses. It's nothing personal against Mr. Kaufman or Troma, but that comment from the interview always bothered me.
While we're on the subject of OnDemand, I recommend also checking the other "Free Movies" sections rather than just sticking to FEARnet. For example, Pumpkinhead and The White Buffalo can be found there, but not in the "FEARnet" section. Also Movieplex (under the "Premium Channels" section) has a bunch of (free) horror and science fiction titles, including the complete Planet of the Apes film series.
IFC has a Friday night (technically early Saturday) "grindhouse" slot at midnight where they play lots of cult films. Although they show recent horror films and non-horror stuff, they also have been known to play oldies but goodies like Goke, Bodysnatcher from Hell. You can check out their grindhouse scheduling information here.
I've noticed that both AMC and the Sci-Fi channel seem to give really inconvenient late night/early morning timeslots (both for the initial showings and repeats) to the sort of older horror/sci-fi films I'm interested in. Sci-Fi is the worst of the two, as it plays those sorts of films at 4:00 am and never does a repeat showing. My guess is that AMC's trying to emulate the late night slots for horror films of the old days while Sci-Fi is burning off titles they've licensed, under the idea that less people would turn in for an "old" movie if they aired it during normal hours. I don't know about you, but I'd rather watch stuff like Frankenstein meets the Space Monster than reruns of Lost or Breaking Bad.
That reminds me, I'm stunned that Sci-Fi's decision to change their name to "SyFy" isn't some sort of April Fools' joke (link provided by N. Oremac). Apparently this is since they can't trademark the term "Sci-Fi" since it's too commonplace (more on that here). I honestly don't see why they consider that such a big deal. After all, they already own the scifi.com domain name and could have trademarked the phrase "The Sci-Fi Channel" instead. They could have taken after the Canadian equivalent of their channel by giving it a one word name, trademarking the name, and then adding "The Sci-Fi Channel" as a subtitle. Or if they wanted to be smartasses, they could've trademarked "sciffy," a nickname often used by people online to make fun of the channel.
But I digress. Getting back on topic, I didn't see any particularly interesting movie listings for Sci-Fi this weekend in my TV listings, but I did find some stuff on AMC tonight:
King Kong (70's remake) 11:30-2:30 am
And Now the Screaming Starts 2:30-4:30 am (early Saturday)
Blood of Dracula 4:30-6:00 am (early Saturday)
For those not in the Eastern/Standard time area, please check your local listings or AMC's website for the times.
Since I'm doing cable TV schedules, here's what's playing on "This TV" tomorrow:
Amityville II: The Possession 8:00-10:00 pm
Amityville 3D 10:00-12:00 am
The Angry Red Planet 12:00-2:00 am (early Sunday)
Attack of the Puppet People 2:00-4:00 am (early Sunday)
The Comedy of Terrors 11:00-1:00 pm
Twice Told Tales 1:00-3:30 pm
Tower of London 3:30-5:00 pm
The Haunted Palace 5:00-7:00 pm
Madhouse 7:00-9:00 pm
The Oblong Box 9:00-11:00 pm
Theater of Blood 11:00-1:00 am
Cry of the Banshee 1:00-3:00 am (early Monday)
I should note that, based on my briefly watching Once Bitten on the channel last month, that there are commercial breaks and some films might be edited for content. As I noted in the AMC listings, all times given are Eastern/Standard and people in other areas should check their local listings or the This TV website for the times.

Q: How to use the Inception v3 model to calculate the feature vector of PNG images in the transfer learning I'm using transfer learning in TensorFlow.I need to use Inception V3 model to calculate the feature vector of a picture.My code in the calculation of JPG format pictures no problem, but the calculation of the PNG format will be wrong.
# read model
with gfile.FastGFile(os.path.join(MODEL_DIR, MODEL_FILE), 'rb') as f:
    graph_def = tf.GraphDef()
    graph_def.ParseFromString(f.read())

bottleneck_tensor, jpeg_data_tensor = tf.import_graph_def(graph_def, return_elements=[BOTTLENECK_TENSOR_NAME, JPEG_DATA_TENSOR_NAME])

......

# get imagepath
image_path = get_image_path(image_lists, INPUT_DATA, index, category)
# read image
image_data = gfile.FastGFile(image_path, 'rb').read()

# calculate the feature vector
# **This statement is wrong when png images**
bottleneck_values = sess.run(bottleneck_tensor, {jpeg_data_tensor: image_data})

Console error includes:
......

Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50

......

InvalidArgumentError (see above for traceback): Invalid JPEG data, size 19839
     [[Node: import/DecodeJpeg = DecodeJpeg[acceptable_fraction=1, channels=3, dct_method="", fancy_upscaling=true, ratio=1, try_recover_truncated=false, _device="/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/cpu:0"](_recv_import/DecodeJpeg/contents_0)]]

I guess the wrong key is to read the picture of the code, but I don't know how to modify it to support the PNG format, can someone help me?
Thanks

A: Can you download some other images and see if they work? The problem is really your image loading I think...
Otherwise, try reading an image with pyplot:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
image = plt.imread('image.jpg')

A: I've found a solution.
Although I can't modify it to support the PNG format, but I can read the PNG image and convert it to JPEG format.
Add code as follows:
import io

......

# get imagepath
image_path = get_image_path(image_lists, INPUT_DATA, index, category)
# read image
data = open(image_path,'rb').read()
ifile = io.BytesIO(data)
im = Image.open(ifile).convert('RGB')
ofile = io.BytesIO()
im.save(ofile, 'JPEG')
image_data = ofile.getvalue()

# calculate the feature vector
bottleneck_values = sess.run(bottleneck_tensor, {jpeg_data_tensor: image_data})

This method does not generate new images in the disk,that's OK!

It wasn't that long ago when permanent birth control meant invasive surgery. But for today's woman who is finished having children, there's a safer, much easier alternative to going under the knife for tubal ligation or hysterectomy.
Essure is the dependable solution for permanent birth control that is easy to perform in our office. It has a 99.95% success rate at one year that has been proven by over a decade of clinical evidence in more than 310,000 women. Essure's simple procedure is performed in seconds, does not require incisions, contains no hormones and can be confirmed for both placement and reliance – meaning women who choose Essure never have to worry about birth control again.
Essure uses the body's natural healing response to block the fallopian tubes, resulting in permanent birth control. Using a transvaginal hysteroscopic approach, one small, flexible micro-insert is placed in each fallopian tube. Upon release, the micro-insert expands to conform to the natural shape of the fallopian tube and anchors itself until the microinsert elicits a healing response that completely closes the fallopian tubes, typically within three months. After three months, we perform the Essure Confirmation Test to confirm and document both satisfactory micro-insert location as well as bilateral tubal occlusion. No other permanent birth control procedure can confirm both of these features.
Essure is clinically proven. After nine years and zero pregnancies among Essure users in clinical trials, no other permanent birth control method has been shown to be as effective as Essure. Following Essure micro-insert placement, the tissue response has been found to be 100% reliable in patients with correct placement as well as localized to the micro-insert. The Essure Confirmation Test also offers unprecedented peace of mind for the patient.
Patient tolerance is excellent. With only local anesthesia and minimal dilation required for the procedure, women who choose Essure can quickly return to their daily activities and never have to worry about birth control again – no daily pill, no hormones or hormonal side effects and no quick trips to the pharmacy.


the sun has set for the old year – happy new year!
The last sunset at my spot of the globe for this year. A little more than six hours left here. Some have already left 2010 behind while others still have more than twelve hours left. I think of absent friends and wish you all a PROSPEROUS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Happy new year! Beautiful photos.
LOL – "Hop Along Cassidy" – LOL. That is great!
Thank you all! I wish you a very merry and happy year!
I'm looking forward to another year of your beautiful pictures.
Thanks for all the great posts and pics you've shared with everyone this past year!
A happy new year to you as well!
From seven hours the other side of the daylight terminator, a very happy new year to you. I wanted to mention that the magnificent prize you sent, a solid block of Diamine Dark Brown, lay on my doorstep in the final delivery of the year. It's thawing now, and shows no sign of taking injury from the adventure. The card you included was very nice also.
That gives a new meaning to arriving in one piece. LOL. Happy that you got it at last – sorry for being so very slow in shipping it to you. Happy 2011!
I like the rabbit tracks heading into the sunset…like an old western movie.
I just want you to know that your photographs alway make me happy.


All of that is about to change, and I'm okay with that. Isn't it amazing how we pine for summer, and then we are so ready for it to end?
To celebrate the last night of summer, I made something I knew the kids would scarf down. No chard or kale, no whole grains, no spicy chiles. Just soft tubular pasta, tomato sauce with sausage, and the most beautiful, bubbly cheesy top.
After a dreamy summer, I am full of reflections about life, about parenthood, about how fast time goes. I've read some great books, re-established my meditation routine, slept in more than once, and fretted about my low client load, the inequality in this rich country, and how I ignore dirty laundry. What I've come to (no surprise--it's always the same) is that all I can do is love well every day--love my family, my dog, my neighbors, people that drive me *&$ing nuts, strangers, clients, and the people I have yet to meet. We are not on this earth long enough to do otherwise. We've got this one, slippery, fleeting chance.
Back to this casserole. America's Test Kitchen contacted me and asked if I'd cook a recipe out of their new cookbook The Make Ahead Cook. I ignore most promotional offers in my inbox unless I really believe in them. I listen to the ATK podcast every week (Christopher Kimball. Love.) and am a fan of anything that helps home cooks get in the kitchen and start cooking with confidence. I always joke that I'm a "measure-once-cut-twice" type of gal, and that's why I need people who are otherwise. ATK is a "measure-a-million-times-cut-once" kind of outfit. When you follow one of their recipes, you can be sure it will turn out perfectly and you'll feel like a million bucks.
What I like about these recipes is that they are tested with the premise that they will be sitting in the fridge before they are eaten or cooked. This pasta, for instance, is cooked just 5 minutes before you drain it and assemble the casserole. I would have cooked it much longer (and got mushier results) without these meticulous test kitchen folks. And the best part? We were gone all day and just had to pop this in the oven when we got home.
Happy Fall, friends. May you be blessed in all your comings and goings.
1. Bring 4 quarts of water to boil in a large pot. Add pasta and 1 Tb. of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1 1/2 c. cooking water, then drain pasta. Rinse pasta with cold water and drain again, leaving pasta slightly wet in colander.
2. Dry now-empty pot, add 1 Tb. oil, and return to medim-high heat until shimmering. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce, bring to simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, 30-45 minutes.
3. Stir reserved cooking water, pasta, mozzarella, and basil into cooled sauce; transfer to 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Combine ricotta, remaining 3 Tb. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in bowl; cover.
4. Wrap dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate zit and ricotta separately for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
5. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap dish and cover tightly with greased aluminum foil. Bake casserole until beginning to bubble around edges, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and dollop rounded tablespoons of ricotta mixture evenly over top. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan and bake, uncovered, until casserole is hot throughout and cheese is melted and begins to brown, 15-20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with basil and serve.

In North East Derbyshire there are 30 designated conservation areas. It is the quality of the architecture, visual character and historic interest of these areas that makes them special and worthy of conservation. In making the assessment of an area, many factors are considered in determining its character and quality including:
The historic layout of property boundaries and thoroughfares.
The inter-relationship of buildings and spaces.
The mix of building and land use.
The architectural quality of individual buildings either grand such as town halls, churches and stately houses or vernacular such as workers cottages, water mills and barns.
The composition of building groups such as terraces, shops, farm complexes, almshouses or industrial complexes (such as mills).
Vistas into, from, through and around the area under consideration.
The interaction of the natural and the built environment.
The age and social history of the area and its buildings.
The use of materials in buildings, boundaries, paths and open areas.
All of our conservation areas and boundaries can be viewed using the Online Mapping tool.

Home » Knowledge Centre » Jewish Texts » Mishnah
At Mount Sinai the Jewish people received the Written Torah and the Oral Torah. The Oral Torah was the oral explanation of how the (rather concise) written laws should be executed and followed.
The Oral Torah passed from generation to generation and was never written down. Why? Because it was supposed to remain fluid. The principles were to stay the same, but they were to be applied to all types of new circumstances.
This worked exceptionally well as long as the central authority, the Sanhedrin, remained intact, and the chain of transmission was not interrupted. That is, teachers were able to freely pass on their wisdom to the next generation of students. But in the days after the destruction of the Temple (70 C.E.), the Sanhedrin was repeatedly uprooted and teachers had to go into hiding.
Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi (135 – 217 CE) realised that things were unlikely to improve soon. He saw that the Temple would not be rebuilt in his generation and possibly not for many generations to come. He saw the Jews fleeing the land as a result of constant persecution and impossible living conditions. He saw that the central Jewish authority was weaker than ever and might collapse altogether (which did finally happen in the 4th century C.E.).
To make sure that the chain of transmission would never be broken, he decided that the time had come to write down the Oral Torah.
This was a mammoth undertaking. Rabbi HaNasi consulted as many rabbis as possible in order to extract from them their memories. He asked them to tell him all they knew about the legal traditions they received that could be traced back to Moses at Mount Sinai. He put all those recollections together, edited them, and the end result was the Mishnah.
The word 'mishnah' means 'repetition'. The Oral law was studied by repeating it and hearing it repeated; 'mishnah' by extension then, also means 'learning'.
Six categories of Jewish Law
Rabbi HaNasi divided the Mishnah into six basic categories, dealing with six basic areas of Jewish law. Each of these categories is known as a Seder or 'order':
1. Zeraim, literally 'seeds', covering all agricultural rules and laws for foods as well as all blessings
2. Moed, literally, 'holiday', dealing with the rituals of Shabbat and other Jewish holidays
3. Nashim, literally 'women', examining all the issues between men and women such as marriage, divorce, etc.
4. Nezikin, literally 'damages', covering civil and criminal law
5. Kodshim, literally 'holy things', concerning laws of the Temple
6. Taharot, literally 'pure things', concerning laws of spiritual purity and impurity
Rabbi HaNasi finished writing the Mishnah in 219 C.E. in the town of Tzipori in the Galilee. In the side of a mountain at Beit She'arim, archeologists found a series of catacombs and also a tomb with his name on it, along with the tombs of many other great scholars of his time.

Q: How can I join two tables with one same field in common? I would like to join two tables that share one ID in common.
I would like to create this table:
ID - Year - Month - Cost
I have one table by year, how is the code to do that? I'm confused with join and select...
This is the example table:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wKhRCALbxhbRXmVtBZac75sDlz5v-ykxcbYhgfZ4SHw/edit?usp=sharing
I have this code but I would like separate by year (2019, 2018) in one column and another column by month (1, 2, 3...).
I answer myself, I could do it with this code. I paste just in case someone need it.
