Posing with Personality for Engagement Sessions
By Heather Lofy
Make sure your engagement photos show who you are as a couple with these tips.
This story first appeared in the Fall/Winter 2018 issue of Columbus Weddings, published in June 2018.
Engagement photos get a lot of play time. More often than not, a couple includes them in a save-the-date. And let's be honest: You'll blast them throughout your social media channels the moment you receive the files from your photographer. That's why it's so important to inject some personality into your engagement photos.
So how do you begin to plan a think-outside-the-box shoot? Start with your photographer. He or she can guide you on all the major factors, including location, wardrobe and even props. Location is usually the first detail to nail down.
"We start with location and look and feel," says Sarah Williamson of Together We Click. "Some people want more urban, some want more greenery, some want to do lifestyle shots in their home or a place they got engaged or met. Figuring out the overall vision is important. We have a questionnaire for the couple to fill out so we can make sure everyone is prepared. It's knowing their story and what they are all about in advance."
Carmen Hall of Forget Me Knot Photography agrees that location is important—picking something significant to the couple is a foolproof way to go.
"I always want them to choose something that is more meaningful to them," Hall says. "If they got engaged at a certain park, or met at a certain bar or restaurant, I like to incorporate some of that into their engagement session."
Mindy Amornyard and Damian Ettish, married on May 20, 2017, took their engagement photos during the fall 2016. An exploration of parks around Columbus helped them settle on a unique spot.
"We didn't want to go the super-predictable route," says Mindy (now Mindy Ettish). "We did a little bit of research and went to some other parks that people don't always go to. We Googled 'Columbus parks' and visited several well before the date of the photos. We visited one or two every weekend to scope out what would work best for us. We also got to walk around the parks, which was nice."
They stumbled upon a small park on Clintonville's southern border called Glen Echo, which offered a different backdrop for photos. Glen Echo has a bridge with a mural of birds inside, along with a creek and beautiful foliage surrounding it all. Their session was the first time that their photographer, Dan Buckley of Dan Buckley Photography, had taken photos there.
"It allowed us to get several unique shots with [the park's] variety of rock faces and graffiti," says Buckley. "Before leaving the park, Damian surprised Mindy with flowers and that made for some fun photos. The second half of the shoot was at the Scioto Mile at sunset, where we got the photo of Damian carrying Mindy that they used for the save-the-date."
Kara McElroy and Alex Grant, who were married on Sept. 30, 2017, also wanted locations for their photos that were a bit different and showed off their personalities. They chose Stauf's Coffee Roasters and Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams in Grandview for some of their shots, scheduling the session in their favorite season: fall.
"We used to walk up to Stauf's every Saturday with our dog, so we even had our dog in some of our photos," says Kara (now Kara Grant). "We live in Grandview, so we didn't want to go too far for our photos. We thought these places would really capture what we wanted."
Since weather in Ohio can certainly play a factor in photos, look for spots that have an indoor option as a backup. You might just get a shot you weren't expecting. Jennifer Nickle and Guiseppe Iuni also did location research before their March 2017 engagement photos. The North Market and the Hilton Columbus Downtown provided them with both backdrops.
"We did Jennifer and Guiseppe's session when the weather was kind of cool," says Hillary Ferguson of Hillary Ferguson Photography. "We were trying to figure out where they could go that was different. They have a favorite place they like to get tea, so we ventured around the North Market. We bopped around and took advantage of those places."
Another way to nab a unique shot is to incorporate another element, like a pet or something special to the couple. Ferguson loves animals and encourages couples to bring their pet along to the shoot. Hall agrees, and if her couples bring a pet or other props, she'll start with those photos first. She recommends bringing a friend or family member to take the pet once those photos are done, so as not to interfere with the rest of the shoot.
Hall shares that besides pets, it's a good idea to keep things simple and avoid going over the top.
"I want it to be more about the couple instead of things," she explains. "Sometimes props can take things away from them or their personality. I'm all for something small."
Hall got creative at Stauf's during her shoot with Kara and Alex: A coffee cup with the engagement and wedding dates written on it helped reinforce the "engagement" aspect of the photos.
You can't forget about clothing: Personality also shines through in what you wear. Together We Click provides couples with a style guide to give them an idea of what might work well in their photos.
"Our approach is to be yourself, but amp it up a little in terms of wardrobe and styling," Williamson says. "Some people struggle with that. They ask, 'What should I wear?' We help them come up with that visual element as well. We want it to be a little more fun than jeans and a T-shirt. Maybe it's wearing a suit or a fun dress or even a tutu. We use Pinterest a lot to suggest things that might work."
Although you might be inclined to match clothing, Hall likes pieces that complement each other instead. Your favorite colors can be fun, and mixing patterns and textures also adds a different element.
If you're the types who prefer to think big, you can go completely out-of-the-box with a themed shoot. Ferguson recounts one where the couple chose a '50s theme at the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant near the airport.
"They dressed the part and played the role very well," she says.
Another of Ferguson's couples embraced a soccer theme, shooting at Crew Stadium because the groom was from Ireland and loved the sport.
Ultimately, what makes you and your partner feel the most comfortable is the route you should go to ensure your photos are fun and unique.
"We wanted everything to be like us," says Kara of her engagement shoot. "We weren't super fancy. We only changed our clothes once. We didn't try to fit a mold. This is what we wanted, and it turned out so well because it was so candid and felt so real."
Planning aside, what can you do during your actual photo session to get a shot unlike anyone else's? Be yourself.
"It's awkward for everyone in the beginning," shares Ferguson. "The biggest thing when I start working with couples is I [encourage] them to have fun and don't feel stupid. Sometimes the couple just laughing and being themselves brings out their natural personalities instead of feeling super posed. They might say something to the other person that looks or feels natural, opposed to the awkward prom-type photo."
And if you're nervous for your photos, trust your photographer and the process.
"We knew having a very good photographer was important," Mindy says. "We did our research on the [photographers] who matched our style. We wanted to make sure the overall look we were going for matched. We met with Dan beforehand and he had a lot of good recommendations. He had said to us before that he doesn't really like posed photos. He said, 'I'll capture you guys. You do you, and we'll go from there.' Photos are super awkward anyway, so he made it more comfortable in that sense."
From the photographer's perspective, they'll always step in to give direction when needed. Hall says that she and other photographers are aware that the last time a couple most likely took professional photos was during their senior year of high school.
"Right at the beginning, I'll start with a standard photo of them looking at the camera," Hall says. "Then from there, I like to tell them certain things. I tell them to say certain things to each other to evoke emotions and reactions out of them."
At the end of the day, your photographer is your biggest ally.
"As photographers, we are looking for the overall pretty picture," Williamson says. "We'll always place the subjects in good lighting and good background, and see what happens from there. We want it to feel natural. We're really getting to the point of who they are."

James Bond's 1963 Aston Martin DB5 is arguably the most famous movie car ever made.
This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
The sleek silver sports car used in Goldfinger and Thunderball was lightning fast and equipped with the kind of space-age doo-dads befitting a secret agent licensed to kill — machine guns hidden behind the headlights, an ejector seat, and revolving license plates (British, Swiss or French).

Unfortunately, the Aston Martin DB5 was stolen from an aircraft hangar in Boca Raton, Florida in 1997 and vanished into thin air. But it was recently discovered in an undisclosed "private setting" in the Middle East.
The discovery made headlines around the world, and the car is now said to be worth about $25 million US.
This seems to be a good time to bring up the Frank Baker James Bond car, which was parked at his West Vancouver restaurant Frank Baker's Attic throughout the 1970s.
"James Bond Eats Here Every Night," boasted an ad in the Oct. 19, 1977, edition of The Vancouver Sun. "Well, you can see his car parked outside all the time. Bring the kids to see 007's famous spy car. Then treat them to some great food at children's prices."
Baker purchased the car for $20,000 US ($21,600 Cdn) in September 1969. The seller was London financier Kenneth Luscombe-White, who had swapped a Ferrari for the car. Baker threw in a trip to Vancouver to clinch the deal.
But whether it was the actual Aston Martin used in the Bond movies soon became a matter of debate. A Chicago lawyer claimed he owned the Bondmobile, and that Baker's car was a replica.
It turned out there was one original and two or three copies that had been made for promotional purposes. Baker always claimed he had the real one, but others insisted they did.
In any event, buying the Aston Martin generated lots of free publicity for Baker, a flamboyant fellow with a pencil thin moustache and a habit of wearing a white suit and a straw hat.
Born in Vancouver in 1922, he claimed to have won a bunch of money playing poker in the army during the Second World War and used it to get into the catering business.
Within a decade, he owned three catering halls, but sold them in order to partner with Frank Barnard at the Top of the Towers, a penthouse restaurant and lounge in the 22-storey Georgian Towers at 1450 West Georgia.

Then he opened a couple of restaurants in West Vancouver, which he filled with antiques. A trumpet player, he often blew his own horn at his restaurants, sometimes with Lance Harrison's band, which had a long-time gig at the Attic.
Baker was also a four-time Vancouver alderman for the Non-Partisan Association from 1956-62, but he left politics to run his restaurants and enjoy life with family and his collection of cars (he had several), firetrucks (he had two), and his yacht El Citta (attic spelled backwards).
Alas, Baker went bust in 1982, when high interest rates took a toll on restaurants. The Sun's Denny Boyd also reported that the RCMP fraud squad informed Baker that his staff had been robbing him blind.
"It's my own fault for not being around and watching the books," said Baker. "I should have known when my busboy drove up in a better car than mine."
He sold the Bondmobile and in 1984 rebounded with a new restaurant at 14th and Cambie in Vancouver. Roger Bywater lived above it in an apartment, and one night they left the exhaust fan going, which "sounded like screeching metal."
Bywater went downstairs in the early hours to see if anyone was still there.
"There was an old-fashioned English telephone booth inside," he recounts. "It looked like there was a person there on the phone, so I kept hitting the window (to get their attention). I thought, 'This guy is purposely ignoring me.' I was getting really pissed off and kept banging and banging, and finally I just gave up.
"I went down the next morning and realized it was a wax dummy replica of Frank in the phone booth."
Of course there was. Frank Baker passed away from cancer on Nov. 21, 1989 at 67.

Just in case I don't find any solid color sock yarn for today's class, I bought this Lion Brand sock yarn at Beverly's with a 40% off coupon. It is divided and ready to go. For anyone interested, I will explain my method to evenly divide a skein of variegated yarn. First I have an inexpensive kitchen scale that switches between grams and oz. I use the gram setting. Then I put the skein on the scale and start winding a new ball with my trusty Royal ball winder. When the measurement on the scale is half the amount that I started with, I stop. Now it gets a little tricky and tangly if I am not careful. I remove the skein from the ball winder and take the thread coming from the center of the ball. I lay this strand against the yarn coming from the outside of the ball which is still connected to the rest of the yarn on the scale. I carefully match the pattern on both strands. Sometimes it matches in a couple of feet, other times I have to either unwind from the outside of the ball just made or pull more yarn from the center of the ball on the scale. After I get both strands matching I decide a good place to separate the balls. I check each ball back on the scale just to be sure they are the same weight. I cut through both strands. I think it is sometimes better to loose a little yarn from the beginning of the first ball. This keeps the weight of both balls more even. Since the beginnings of both balls are cut at the same time they are ready to go. This works if you are knitting two strands of a hand painted yarn together too. I like to do this so the colors stay pure. I took the photo in the evening with the new camera and no flash. I really like this camera. Now I just need more time to play with it.

Prep work is often times the most important and most often overlooked part of an exercise routine. Especially on a heavy lifting day it can be so tempting to just get in and get it down. But this can cause further issues down the line with injury, also, you can to ensure the right muscles are being engaged. For example during a pull up, you don't want your traps and neck doing all the work now do you?
This can be used as a great 10 minute prep for a heavy lift day or used on it's own as a recovery day.
Ensure knee is bent elevated at 90 degrees, ensure head is neutral (use a block). Opener arm as far as it will go keeping knee bent at 90.
Banded pull aparts on foam roller: Ensure back is flat on the roller, head is supported. Hold the band straight in front of you, pull the band apart squeezing the shoulder blades together on roller.
This Romper is definitely my favourite purchase from my NYC trip back in April, I found this gem at a sample sale. The DVF wrap dress is iconic, and to find it in romper form, in coral was just perfect. It's super lightweight for the summer because of the crepe like material, & I'm surprised this is the first time I've posted it on the blog.
I am sad to say the last of the birthday festivities has come and gone. It's time to settle in and see what the coming year has to offer.
If you know me, you know I have a serious thing for pineapples. Like it's starting to get a little ridiculous, when you walk into our apartment you see a whole bunch of pineapples...SO naturally when I saw these shorts I pounced on them. How adorable are they though? This has legit been my go to outfit when it's been hot these last couple months.
These shorts are loose fitting, super comfy and great with a loose tank tucked in. That's truly the best part of summer is the easy dressing. I am looking forward to fall but for now I am going to hang on a little bit tighter to my summer wardrobe. I do love transition seasons, but this summer has gone by way way way too fast. Do you feel that way too??
Mix all ingredients together, keep sauce separate until ready to serve.
Since today is my 28th birthday I thought I'd share some fun (maybe boring) facts about myself!
1. I actually started and ran a similar fashion blog called Smitten Ideology for 4 years that I started way way back in 2010.
2. I wasn't a super athletic child. didn't get into soccer until I was 14 years old.
3. I played baseball for 8 years as a child, but as I said not athletic. I sucked. Bad. But it was fun!
4. My bachelors degree is in Psychology.
6. I have an older brother who is 33 years old & lives in Vancouver (soon to be NYC) and a baby brother who is 22 years old and lives here.
8. I am quite an anxious person; exercise has really helped me manage that. I still get nervous talking to groups or new people.
13. Growing up I watched a ton of fashion television and that really inspired me in my personal style.
16. I work out 6x a week give or take. I listen to my body, so not every workout is high intensity or heavy weights, but I like to move my body, everyday.
20. I have 4 tattoos, an ankh, a medical alert tattoo, an anatomical heart and a pineapple. One day I will add a Mr. Duke to this collection.
22. Matthew Good is my jammiest jam, I listened to the album Hospital Music every night for like 6 years.
24. Popcorn & Tortilla chips are my kryptonite. Oh, and a good donut.
25. I am a feminist, not so scary, huh?
26. Every plant I have ever owned has died, Darcy is on plant duty now.
28. I am most scared of being eaten by a shark. Totally logical living in landlocked Alberta, amiright?
The summer collection from AUrate is being launched today and picked out a couple pieces, I am particularly in love with. But the main thing I'm really in love with, with this company? The jewelry is conflict free, and for every pair of earring's sold, they donate to an under served public school system. How amazing is that? I love companies that have beautiful products that are also ethically minded.
Their necklaces are so dainty, which is perfect for layering with other pieces I have.And the cuff earrings? So pretty, yet really unique too. I love the idea of wearing an interesting earring with something like this hot pink dress. The neckline doesn't pair well with necklaces which is usually what I lean to, so a funky earring would be great.
I love me a big salad, call me Elaine if you must, but a big salad is damn satisfying. So many flavours, especially in the summer when it's hot out and all I want is a nice light meal. This is the ultimate summer salad for me. Perfect for the vegetarians but also great if you want to add some grilled steak.
Try to stabilize the core and then sink down into the standing leg, press up and jump. Keep a soft landing, ensuring that your knee does not fall in.
Sink down into hips, jump up onto next stair, stabilize the core.
Keep core tight and chest upright, ensure your traps don't creep up, keep your shoulder blades pinched together.
Sink into legs, ensure your core is tight press plate out to the side. Alternate legs as you go.
Hold plate in front of chest, feet shoulder distance, core is tight bring the plate up and around head.
In comparison to last year, this summer has been super warm. I can't complain about that when we spend a good 6-7 months in the damn deep freeze. The heat has me wanting to wear as little as possible....while not being arrested for public indecency. This dress caught my eye because of the print, I am such a sucker for a good print. Palm print may have been the hot print of 2017, but this cactus print is going to be alllll the rage.
This dress is super lightweight and comfy with it's loose fit, perfect for those hot and humid days. It makes me feel put together without putting too much effort into it.

Hi all, This is really going to be useful. many times we need to execute some commands or shell scripts as non-root user at the time of booting. say for example you need to mount samba share to be mounted as non-root user at time of system boot. Many people do argue that why you need to mount share as non-root user … A good answer for that argument is, not all applications are running as root user on server. For security reasons it is a good practice to have different non-root users as owner of different applications.
Follow these steps to execute a single command as non-root user at time of bootinig in unix/linux.
e.g. you need to mount two mounts on single linux servers and those two mounts are on different servers then your shell-script called myscript will become something like. also it is good idea to keep that script in users home directory or in a directory which is accessible by that non-root user other wise it will not work.

Liverpool owner John W. Henry convinced to redevelop Anfield after Arsenal visit
Previous owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett were considering building a brand new stadium in Stanley Park but the Reds are now increasing the capacity of the Anfield Road Stand
Liverpool chief discusses next steps in Anfield redevelopment
Alex Milne
Former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton said he took the club's current principal owner John W. Henry to an Arsenal match at the Emirates Stadium to demonstrate that the Reds should not relocate to a different stadium.
Under the previous ownership of Tom Hicks and George Gillett there were plans to move Liverpool to a new 60,000 capacity ground in Stanley Park, a proposal which did not go down well with supporters.
The future appeared uncertain when the club was sold to Henry's Fenway Sports Group, but they immediately committed to staying at Anfield, and after the Main Stand was extended there are now plans to increase the capacity of the Anfield Road Stand.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Broughton revealed seeing the effect on the atmosphere that Arsenal's move from Highbury across north London to Holloway caused convinced Henry to stay at Anfield.
"That was the most important decision- to do that rather than go for an Emirates style stadium in Stanley Park," Broughton said.
"We organised a trip for John (Henry) to the Emirates for a game and the feedback was always how everyone loved the stadium except the Arsenal fans. They could instantly see why would you throw away 'This is Anfield'? The Emirates in Stanley Park just did not feel right.
"If we had had to build another stadium he would have, but his determination was to do everything to stay at Anfield which was important.

"Fenway had proven they could do it with the Red Sox as previous owners had bought land next door to build a new arena. Fenway said: 'Why would you throw away all the tradition of the Green Monster?' The similarities were clear. They got it through and returned it to former glories. Now they have done the same at Anfield."
Liverpool first moved into their Anfield stadium in 1892, and it is widely regarded as one of the most historic and atmospheric grounds in the world.

HUBRO 2525CD HUBRO 2525CD
Blossom Bells is the long awaited follow-up to drummer and percussionist Erland Dahlen's critically acclaimed 2012 debut solo album, Rolling Bomber (HUBRO 2512CD/3512LP). Dahlen's second album has a playful, richly visual mood, but is also quite dark and menacing in places. Elements of krautrock, drone music, ambient music, and contemporary music are woven together here with dark, rock-inspired energy. The album is named after the legendary instrument-maker Pete Engelhart's unusual chromatic set of bells, the Blossom Bell, which Dahlen plays in several places on the album. He also plays a variety of percussion instruments, saw, electronic instruments, and some specially constructed instruments, such as cake molds with springs built by Hallvard W. Hagen, a custom-made percussion bass made by Harald Hougaard, and a wind-up wood instrument with elastic band constructed by Kenny Wollesen. The collection of instruments used on the album is extensive, imaginative, and unique. Dahlen is passionately interested in new sounds, and spends a great deal of time traipsing through offbeat second-hand shops while touring all over the world; he also uses eBay to acquire percussion instruments from the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. His compositions are often inspired by improvisations based on the exploration of fascinating sounds. Here, Dahlen plays all the instruments himself, as on Rolling Bomber, but has produced the album with Johnny Skalleberg as well as Hagen and Jens Petter Nilsen from the electronica duo Xploding Plastix, a group with which Dahlen has worked since the early 2000s. Dahlen has played on over 160 records since the mid-1990s, and has toured with an impressive list of top-ranking artists in more than 30 countries, including Madrugada, Xploding Plastix, John Paul Jones, Pantha du Prince & The Bell Laboratory, Årabrot, Kaada/Mike Patton, Eivind Aarset (on Sonic Codex), Serena-Maneesh, Anja Garbarek, Arve Henriksen, Hanne Hukkelberg, Ane Brun, and many others. For the past few years Dahlen has been a regular member of Nils Petter Molvær's band, and he plays in the trio Stian Westerhus & Pale Horses. His talents are also frequently put to use for film music. Blossom Bells was recorded at Oslo Klang with technician Johnny Skalleberg and at Coffee Fabric with technicians Jens Petter Nilsen and Hallvard W. Hagen. It was mastered by Helge Sten at Audio Virus Lab.

The struggle of african americans in a worn path by eudora welty
Even the many poststructuralist readings of "A Worn Path" have exhibited a shared, essentially formalist strategy:
Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade Subject: The protagonist is Phoenix Jackson, an elderly African-American woman who goes on a heroic quest to procure medicine for her ill grandson.
She wrote extensively about the Natchez Trace, living near the 'Old Trace' for most of her life. She imagined the life of the woman, where she might be going, and why.
The Natchez Trace is an ancient trail that served as a main artery for commerce, war, exploration, mail, lawlessness, and westward expansion. Many of the slaves imported to the cotton belt were marched down the Natchez Trace from the eastern plantations.
Eudora Welty Literary Criticism
It is inferred that Phoenix Jackson was emancipated by the civil war, settled near the Natchez Trace and uses it, as many did, as a country road to get to 'town,' in this case Natchez.
The part of the trace that Phoenix is walking through is unique for the loess soil that eroded to many feet deep. She would have been surrounded by year-old live oak trees covered in Spanish moss, long-leaf pine barrens, shallow bayous, and abandoned plantations.
She is travelling to Natchez to a clinic to get medicine for her grandson who suffers from lye poisoning, a common ailment in those days in that part of the country.
Children would mistakenly drink lye dissolved in water a cleaning agent. The caustic liquid would destroy the lining of the esophagus, often leading to a slow and painful death from malnutrition.
Other Titles You Might Like
A physician of the day, Chevalier Jackson, fought congress to pass a law making lye manufacturers print a warning label on their product. It is possible that Welty named Phoenix Jackson after this man.
Some interesting facts to discuss in class are: How do people refer to Phoenix? Does this mean the nurse at the clinic was African-American? Objective s Enduring Understanding: Authors do not always say what they mean and may use literary devices such as allegory, metaphor, simile, and allusions to add depth to their stories.
What is this author saying when she does not really say it? The student will use word recognition and vocabulary word meaning skills to communicate. The student will apply strategies and skills to comprehend, respond to, interpret, or evaluate a variety of texts of increasing length, difficulty, and complexity.

A worn path by eudora welty Ordeal of Devotion In "A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty an elderly African American woman named Phoenix Jackson picks a cold December day to make yet another perilous journey to a near by city to get medicine for her ailing grandson. IF THERE IS A COMMON THREAD THAT RUNS THROUGH EARLY CRITICAL readings of Eudora Welty's "A Worn Path," it is the conspicuous absence of any discussion of the race of the story's protagonist, Phoenix Jackson. Touching upon themes of family, love, aging, and poverty, this dramatization of Eudora Welty's classic story "A Worn Path" provides both a heroic image of the human spirit enduring against tremendous odds and a poignant commentary on the African-American experience.
Its themes are elicited from the symbol of the journey as well as the encounters the old woman has on her journey.

1. Wi-Fi stage - software. You load special software in your wifi capable router, the packets will travel through a chain of wifi routers in order to attain its final destination. It should be feasible to reach ... Portugal from Finland, by bouncing from router to router. At the very beginning, the first chains will connect to the internet through free wifi hot spots, and users donating some of there spare bandwidth. Initial quality will be terrible, but it will gradually build it self up.
Wifi radio on cars could transform highways to literal highways of information, by having packets bouncing from one moving car to the other.
Ionosphere bouncing as used in amateur radio could also help a bit in long distance transmitions. It will still be crap for long distances.
2. Wi-Fi stage - antenna upgrade. The little tiny winy and cheap default antenna wifi stuff come with are crap. Even a very small investment in a beater antenna increases the radius by an important factor.
4. Optics. Optical communication( simple LED, then laser) can help in increasing bandwidth if there's no more room on the frequencies. Its more expensive then the previous stages, but it now worth it, with this trick we avoid installing cables, it would be even more expensive doing that.
5. Fibre optics . Final stage. People connect to each other with fibre optics (when applicable). Bandwidth between routers increase explosively. Any Overhead delay by bouncing through routers can be cancelled, by establishing enough fibre optic connections between the routers. The number of fibber optics between routers can be arbitrary. Anything that is real time can have a special protocol with high priority of transition.
On long distances: If i'm correct about the economics of the internet. The most expensive part of the transition is the near the internautes, not the long distances. One possibility is that the public authorities nationalise or become unique clients and offer as a public good that part of the network. An other possibility, is that cities and countries start doing the same thing as in the local level, they heavily interconnect with there immediate neighbours.
First just a software upgrade, then an antenna upgrade, then router upgrade, then optic communication upgrade(led, then laser), then direct fibber optics connections. Quality increases from very bad to adequate, working in parallel with normal internet, and gradually taking on at least some of the load.
Too few people are on it right now rendering it useless, and people don't join because its useless, the uselessness cycle need to be broken. Even with low % of people it could still work in a minimalist way.
Technical note: ipv6 will be handy here.

New Grant Supports Breast Cancer Research
New Grant Supports Breast Cancer Research Breast cancer researcher Dr. Maggie Louie has received a grant from Chicago-based Wendy Will Case Cancer Fund to support Dr. Louie's research into the role that environmental contaminants play in the spread of breast cancer. https://www.dominican.edu/dominicannews/new-grant-supports-breast-cancer-research https://www.dominican.edu/logo.png
Breast cancer researcher Dr. Maggie Louie has received a grant from Chicago-based Wendy Will Case Cancer Fund to support Dr. Louie's research into the role that environmental contaminants play in the spread of breast cancer.
The Wendy Will Case Cancer Fund was created in 1982 to support promising researchers and help them establish track records. Louie's grant is for $30,000. More then two-thirds of researchers funded have later received grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, or other grantors.
Dr. Louie is seeking additional funding in support of her research into how the heavy metal cadmium — an environmental contaminant that enters the body through consumption of contaminated food, water or inhalation of cigarette smoke — contributes to the development of breast cancer. Her preliminary findings not only show that cadmium promotes breast cancer cell growth, but her lab may have also identified a potential pathway for its action.
Breast cancer results from the abnormal growth of cells in the mammary gland. The development of the mammary gland is regulated by estrogen, a hormone that binds to the estrogen receptor (ER). Most breast cancer cases initially develop as hormone-dependent cancer, in which growth and progression of the disease correlates with estrogen levels. Doctors have been battling this cancer with drugs known as anti-estrogens, which are designed to block the receptor. Although such treatments have proven successful, the cancer can later develop into a more aggressive, hormone- independent tumor.
"The mechanism of how hormone independence develops is not clear, and my current research is focused on understanding the mechanism of how hormone-refractory breast cancer develops," says Louie. "One potential mechanism may involve endocrine disruptors including heavy metals such as cadmium."
Several studies conducted by researchers elsewhere back up the theory that cadmium may enhance the ER function and promote the development of breast cancer. Louie's preliminary findings show, however, that cadmium also may activate another signaling mechanism and promote breast cancer.
Louie's challenge now is to characterize the role of cadmium in breast cancer cell growth and create a molecular 'map' that shows cadmium's role in regulating the expression of the classical ER and the non-classical ER target genes.
"Results from this study will not only provide a better understanding of how environmental contaminants such as cadmium can promote breast cancer, but also offer new insights to how the estrogen receptor can regulate both classical and non-classical ER target gene expression," says Louie.
The results also would have significant clinical contributions, including screening for heavy metal toxicities, identifying heavy metal-associated breast cancer cases, and designing more effective therapeutics for breast cancer.
"This is very exciting research for us at Dominican," notes Dr. Sibdas Ghosh, chair of the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. "Dr. Louie's work could very well put us on the map for breast cancer research."
Louie received her Ph.D in biochemistry and molecular biology from UC Davis, where she continued with postdoctoral research on cancer biology before joining Dominican's Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in 2005. Her research has been published in several peer review journals, including Molecular and Cellular Biology and The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
It was the opportunity to both teach and conduct research that led Louie to Dominican. At Dominican, research opportunities usually reserved for graduate students are available to undergraduates from their freshman year onward.
"I want to be able to use research as a tool for training my students to think critically and also develop scientific theories," says Louie. "I particularly like that at Dominican, undergraduate students get to work alongside faculty on research that at a larger institution would be reserved for graduate students.
In recent years, Dominican has increased efforts to seek funding for faculty research. Last year the university opened an Office of Research and Sponsored Programs in order to help faculty secure grants from corporate, foundation, and government sources to support research projects, curriculum development, and other staff and faculty initiatives. Recent grants have supported research into HIV/AIDS in India, coral reef preservation in Little Cayman, and a virtual reality nursing simulation lab.

Yielding pancakes for a crowd will have you chained to your stove while said crowd is having fun, socializing, and making memories without you. Instead of weeping and gnashing my teeth in the kitchen, I make and freeze pancakes in advance, then thaw them and pull this breakfast casserole together the day-of.
If the name of this recipe has your mind bending, these are pancakes, made like a baked french toast. Did that make sense? Don't worry; you'll see.
Slice pancakes in half. Arrange in baking dish in to rows with flat side down. Pour blueberries over pancakes. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. Pour egg mixture over pancakes. Mash together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter until a crumble forms. Sprinkle over pancakes.
Chill overnight, or for at least two hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and return pan to room temperature. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool. Serve with powdered sugar & maple syrup.

Can this recipe be used with mini pancakes?
I'd like to use my Mom's pancakes which include sour cream and buttermilk. Would that work?
Do you,does anyone, know how long I would cook this if I cut the recipe in half? Thanks in advance.
How can I do this with fresh pamcakes?
Love thi! Can I freeze leftovers and reheatlater?
Instead of pancakes could I use Texas Toast?
Hi I only have 1 oven and need it to heat up all the other food. Can I cook a day before and just rewarm?
Lastly did anyone try with chocolate chips instead of blueberries?
I just made a Gluten free version of this with just replacing the regular pancakes for gluten free ones and using Gluten free flour for the topping. Great for a brunch. It came out AMAzING! Next time i think i will add bananas.
Curious about freezing the casserole before cooking, anyone tried this? Was wanting to space out our pancake consumption( double batch this morning to have leftovers for this) although I am sure no one would complain.
Just discovered this… Yum! My changes: a thin layer of blueberry cream cheese on the pancakes when assembling them in the pan so it's between the layers. I also used lowfat vanilla yogurt in place of the heavy cream just because I had it on hand, and then I just cut the sugar and vanilla a little in the egg mixture. Thanks for the recipe!
To Annmarie: How long did you chill before baking? Maybe not long enough for the pancakes to absorb the wet ingredients. Just a thought . . .
Will sliced bananas work instead of blueberries? Would love to try a variation of bananas foser French toast pancakes!
Yum! Yes, I believe so, although I have not tried it.
OK…think its weird that you would just delete my comment and not respond here or to my email address. It was an honest and fair question I was hoping you would answer so that I could make this for my family. Do you not stand by your recipes? Your website? I would think that you would?
I tried making. Followed directions and not cooking in an hour. To wet. Even after cooking for 2 hours at 350. Thoughts?
i made this for breakfast in Christmas Day here in New Zealand. So easy to put together the night before. In the oven in the morning while we opened presents and omg so delicious! Not too mention your fantastic pancake recipe… My new go to! Thanks so much- this will be on the celebration food rotations or sure!
If the store is out of blueberries would blueberry pie filling work, or is that to much liquid.
It would work although would be a little different in texture.
I just threw this together and I'm serving it in the morning for Christmas breakfast for my 5 girls and husband before we open presents! I'm so excited! It looks delicious! And it was very easy to throw together! Thank you do much for your post!Merry Christmas ! I'll let ya know how it turns out!
You are welcome! Merry Christmas.
I just made these tonight, I can't wait until morning. They look wonderful!! I also love the pancake recipe, I will be using your recipe from now on :) Yumm Yumm thank you for sharing.
I am an everything blueberry addict and must try this one. I'm wondering what size baking dish you recommend?
I really want to pin this! But the pin link isn't working, and when I copy the link of the page to try to pin it separately, that isn't working either. Help! I want to make this for Christmas morning!
Could you use frozen raspberries in place of blueberries?
The recipe says to layer the pancakes in the pan flat side down but the picture show them up on their edge. Which is it? Thanks.
As pictured – the flat side after the pancakes are cut in half.
These were absolutely delicious. I served this at the ladies Sunday School breakfast and they loved them. I kicked it up another notch by serving along with the powdered sugar and maple syrup – blueberry syrup too. Needless to say everybody ask for the recipe. Thanks for posting!
Can you use frozen pancakes?
This is killing me right now. I need to make it immediately! Very nice photos, too.


Heya, Troll Lords. So I have a bunch of questions regarding the PDFs...kidding, KIDDING!
But seriously, I know we discussed the screens that you put the kibosh on for being below your expectations. Any new time table on those for showing up in the online store?
"I use Lord Hamelot to detect evil." "...oink"
Hey, @NJPigBard! Thanks so much for coming out and hanging with us at TrollCon East, we had a blast. To answer your question, we hope to have them ready by the end of March, but if it is before that, you will see them on our TLG Storefront.
Hey, no worries, man! Trollcon was a blast. Thanks for making the trip up. Everyone appreciated it for sure. And I'll make sure to find a way to play Monday nights. Heck or high-water!
Great news about the screen. Thanks!
I think part of the delay is that Steve is printing the PHB and M&T in the same matte style as the CKG in order to insure the set of books all match. That will be a fine looking set, my friends. I am another one who waited on ordering the CKG when I found out about this set. I may be the only fan out here who doesn't even have the pdf yet! lol. Patience Grasshopper.
The problem on the Complete's are two fold, getting the boxes done (the slip sleeve) and as piperdog said, getting the covers lined up. This last won't take a day or so, as soon as those slip sleeves are ready to go. In theory that is today (the 18th) So I anticipate them shipping out mid week next week.
Thanks for the continued patience!
So if I understand it, the CKG itself is already shipping to retailers? And the Complete set should ship to retailers next week sometime? I am waiting for my favorite online store to get it before I order.
Definition of very high? I dunno, 3000 is enough I suspect, so if you want one, holla.
Tim et al. What is the typical wait for shipping to Canada. Been 6 weeks now. I asked Steve if a tracking number was available so at least I'd know where the CKG is, but no reply (to the orders@.... address).
@LordSeurek -- I'm not sure why it is taking so long. My apologies...I know you live way up in Canada, so it may take a while but shouldn't take forever. Let me see what I can find out and I'll let you know ASAP.
Sorry if this is trivial and geeky.
What do the module codes mean, and what modules belong to each?
A is for Aihrde, Aenochia? for the "Umbrage Saga"
What about B, C, D, S, U?
If they are by location, it seems the C are in the Darkenfold Forest, but a couple of modules set there are not in the C series.
A is indeed for Aihrde, the in-sequence modules that follow from Rising Knight and will ultimately end up with Aufstrag and Coburg the undying down the road.
U = Universal (Stand alone mods like Mike Stewart's Verdant Rage, Casey Canfield's Fingers of the Foresaken Hand, etc. that aren't specifically in any setting).
Don't recognize any "B" classifications - only the DB for Casey's HH stuff.
Ok...I asked this question earlier..but I need to ask again as it doesn't seem to shipped yet....When is 'Castles & Crusades Complete preorder' going to ship? sometime soon?
At the same time I have ordered some other stuff from you guys (Order #381)and was wondering when that would be shipped as well?
Just to be clear, the Complete set will all be the new matte finish, correct? I hope so, because that would be fantastic. Do we have any idea when the CKG as well as the Complete set will find it's way to the game stores?
@piperdog -- the complete set will be in the new matte finish. and they are shipping now to distributors and should be in stores before you know it!
Will the Complete Set be available on Amazon?
@frost -- yes it will be on amazon soon. it has to be uploaded and approved for sale on amazon, but we expect to have it on amazon within a couple weeks.
I am hoping to see the CKG (and slipcase set) appear at my favorite online stores. I keep checking and still no CKG there. I know it will be soon though.
what online stores are u looking at piperdog?
I have been looking at my favorite store www.superherogameland.com, but also frpgames.com, trollandtoad.com, and others that I can't think of off the top of my head and no one is carrying the CKG yet. Superherogameland has listed the CKG (as well as the slipcase set), as well as M&T of Aihrde hardcover and Dark Journey, listing them all as preorder status, so I know it's a matter of time before they get them in. That store is crazy in it's steep discounts, usually a standard 30% of retail, sometimes more. I usually can't find it cheaper anywhere else on the planet, and they ship fast, as well as free shipping on orders over 125 bucks.
Got my copy of the CKG at Garycon and I really like it. But there are some printing errors on the book pages 44 and 88. Is there any book exchange for this?
@old school gamer: please email me at tim@trolllord.com and let me know what the errors are and i'm sure we can figure out a way to exchange the book for you.
When will Dark Journey be available in print format?
We hope to begin production by the end of next week, Demiurge... There are a few print jobs to do before it, but hopefully within a week or two it will be available in the TLG store.
Tim my Man! How goes the progress toward getting this elusive slipcase set out to my stores? I keep on checkin'. My fave online store (www.superherogameland.com) has the slipcase set at least appearing now on the site, with a pricetag of $49 bucks, which is a steal fellas.

Great Reasons to Join Mensa
How can I join Mensa? Why should I join? What are the benefits of membership?
In order to join Mensa, you have to take an approved intelligence test - one which has been properly administered and supervised; and in that test, you need to attain a score within the upper two percent of the general population. Our FAQs will tell you everything you need to know about getting your IQ tested. Attaining that required score will enable you to join a thriving global community of around 145,000 Mensans, all of whom enjoy exciting opportunities for social, cultural, and intellectual stimulation.
Mensa get-togethers are anything but dull! All over the world, groups of fun-loving Mensans congregate on a regular basis for lively conversations over dinner and drinks, for intellectual discussions and debates on a diverse range of topics, and for get-togethers featuring a speaker. Some groups have activities throughout the month, some meet weekly, and others, especially the larger groups, have events nearly every day. Of course, participation in local group activities is always entirely your choice. And you can turn up as often or as seldom as you like.
We recommend getting involved in the Mensa community scene from the get-go. It's the quickest and most fun way to meet people and make new friends.
Here's what some members say about being part of the Mensa community:
It is an honour to be a member of Mensa. From the very first moment, my eyes have been sparkling: finally, I arrived in a place where people share similar thoughts, say similar puns, have similar associations like I have. Naturally, I also see the differences: different characters, attutudes and views - some of these I embrace, others I reject, but this makes the world complete. We cannot be different in the same way. George, 44
Originally, I just wanted to have my IQ tested. I guess I was looking for some external reinforcement. I thought I would never have the time to attend programmes as I had two young children. Out of curiosity, I finally joined Mensa - and I have been a member for 14 years now. I found a great community, interesting activities, lots of love - and, eventually, a husband as well! Eve, 48
What special-interest groups (SIGs) are available to Mensans?
Some SIGs will focus on lively social interaction, some will encourage the sharing of cultural knowledge on a specific field of interest, while others will concentrate on the development of intellectual pursuits. And some SIGs will combine all three! Whatever your passion, it's almost certain there'll be a SIG somewhere that will provide what you're looking for.
Some SIGs are only available to members of national Mensas (i.e., not available internationally). However, in total, Mensa can boast of approximately 200 SIGs, in mind-boggling profusion, from African violets to zoology. Along the way you'll find microbiology and systems analysis, but you'll also find UFOs, Sherlock Holmes, chocolate and Star Trek. There are the expected: biochemistry, space science, economics; and the unexpected: poker, roller-skating, scuba diving, and witchcraft. There are SIGs for breadmaking, winemaking, cartooning, silversmithing, and clowning. Heraldry, semantics, and Egyptology co-exist with beekeeping, motorcycling, and tap dancing. Sports SIGs cover the classics: baseball, basketball, and football; and the not-so-classic: skeet shooting, hang gliding, and skydiving.
But you might be passionate about something that's not on the list. If so, why not start your own SIG? And if you live in a remote location, don't worry - there are loads of SIGs that you can join up to virtually.
What if I'm just looking for intellectual stimulation and I don't have time for a busy social schedule?
Mensa provides intriguing ways to flex your mental muscles, and you'll receive access to a range of intellectually stimulating publications. For example, you'll receive your national magazine with contributions by Mensans on a wide variety of subjects. Your magazine will feature the Mensa World Journal, an interesting and thought-provoking section containing views and information about Mensa around the world.
In some countries, in addition to the national magazine, you may receive lively newsletters informing members of local activities and events, as well as other absorbing items and announcements of special interest.
'Isolated M' is a popular and informative newsletter sent to those members who are geographically or otherwise isolated. It is available at a nominal cost to any member.
And you'll find a wealth of intellectual resources at regional, national and international conventions and other gatherings which, depending on the coronavirus-related rules and regulations in your country, you'll be able to attend. For example, in August 2021, members from around the world got together to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Mensa's founding. The event was held over 6 days in Houston, USA, and featured a wide variety of talks, workshops, seminars, tours, games, and other forms of entertainment, with a focus on providing stimulating cultural and intellectual experiences.
Does Mensa offer any publications to non-members?
Yes, the Mensa Research Journal (MRJ) is offered to the public via subscription. Published three times a year, the MRJ is one of the lowest priced journals on the market due to a grant from Mensa International Limited (MIL). The scholarly research articles in each issue are selected from a wide array of research journals, both nationally and internationally.
As an outreach of the Mensa Foundation, the MRJ also seeks to educate readers on themed topics. Editors are chosen from many professions to review current research articles on intelligence and the myriad forces that impact intelligence, both negatively and positively. The selected group of articles brings the themed topic to you in a single, attractive presentation. A sample selection of MRJ articles can be viewed on the Mensa Foundation page.
Entries from the Awards for Excellence program are highlighted in one journal each year. Some recent themes are, 'Lead Weights on Intelligence', 'Intelligence: A Diamond in the Rough?', 'Memory', and 'Artificial Intelligence'. The MRJ accepts reviews on books related to intelligence, and posts educational events on a calendar. Each issue cover has a unique design, created by the Art Design Editor to represent the chosen theme.
You don't have to be a member of Mensa to subscribe – just someone interested in the latest information on the nature of giftedness, intelligence measures, loss of intelligence, increasing intelligence, or declining intelligence. To subscribe, please visit Mensa Research Journal.
What other benefits does Mensa offer?
1. You can join our new and exciting online Workplace (WP) community - a place where you can meet likeminded Mensans from all over the world. No subject too deep, no joke too high-brow. So, when you join the Mensa community, why not join our fast-growing WP community? Everyone's welcome! Come, contribute, and share your thoughts and ideas!
You can join WP groups that you like, or start one of your own. Here's a list of some of the existing WP groups:
Mensa World | Mensa Life | Photography | Cats | Languages of the World | Globetrotters | Anime & Comics | Pokémon Go | Philosophy | Humour | Innovation | Polymath | Space | Science News | Chess | Heavy Metal | All Things Japan | Martial Arts | Latinoamérica | Prime Numbers | Unpopular Opinions | Books & Reading | Quizzes and Puzzles | World Music | Psychology | Video Games | Movies & Series | Gifted Children | Modern Sapiens & Other Species
2. Mensa members can find many rewarding and challenging opportunities to contribute to the betterment of society through volunteer activities within their communities.
3. Many Mensa groups also offer scholarships for gifted students. However, the Mensa Gifted Youth programs happening all around the world offer so much more - a wide array of activities, events and services for high-ability children and young people, in addition to a variety of support functions for their families. Click here to find out more.
4. In some countries, Mensa sponsors a members-only credit card and insurance program.
5. And last, but by no means least, members have access to a fantastic program called 'SIGHT' that aids traveling Mensans. SIGHT is the perfect way to meet members of the worldwide Mensa family, and to get the most out of your trip. Although the program often makes it possible for members to stay with fellow Mensans, some of them may be able only to serve as day hosts, while the services of others may be limited to providing information, sightseeing tips, and guidance.
However, your local SIGHT coordinator will do their best to help you find whatever you are looking for. All you have to do is fill out a SIGHT request form and send it them.
This all sounds great! How can I get my IQ tested? How do I join up?
Once again, here is everything you need to know.
And here is where you can find your national Mensa's website, email address, and other information.
Please contact Mensa International if you happen to be resident in a country that doesn't yet have a national Mensa group.
