I'm wanting to know if there is away to keep the group forums private?
I would like my buddypress users to be able to create groups, both public and private with their own group forum, however you have to be apart of the group to view it.
currently I have the group forums set to save under the sitewide forum under a 'group forums' topic / category; thus they are viewable there.
How would i go about hiding this or removing it?
oh this is a bbpress question.
I'm using bbpress to completely manage my sitewide and group forums. I've completely turned buddypress forums off.
BBPress requires a 'forum root' to be selected to determine where it will save the forums, and these are visible in the bbpress site wide forum.
I would like this feature hidden or removed. Do you know how?


Over the years a vendor at the local farmer's market has occasionally offered a corn bread. Not a cornbread, the often sweet quick bread, but a yeast bread with some cornmeal added to the dough that was baked into a round loaf. During the summer it made a marvelous BLT. But its appearance was sporadic, and I hadn't seen it in quite awhile. Or thought much about it. Until a trip to Slovenia, where, lo and behold, a yeast-raised corn bread was part of the bread basket wherever we went. Toasted, it was fabulous for breakfast, with a drizzle of honey.
Sure, cornbread, that American staple, is a great option to accompany chili, stews and other hearty winter fare. But you really ought to give corn bread a try.
Maple Cornbread: Via King Arthur Flour, a ,moist easy-as-pie recipe that smells heavenly when baking, thanks to a touch of maple syrup.
Rhode Island Corn Bread: From the Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant cookbook. The name says New England, but this recipe captures the taste of those wonderful Slovenian bread baskets.
Hi, I didn't have that problem with the Corn Bread loaf rising. But I was using reliable old SAF Instant Yeast, and let the dough be it's sticky self and didn't add too much flour. It never gets to the kind of soft, satiny feel of typical bread dough, but stays kind of rough.

Ordinary people of Rajshahi do not want Nesco's pre-paid meter
Northern Electricity Supply Company Limited (Nesco) has taken the initiative to replace ordinary electric meters with pre-paid meters. However, the common people of Rajshahi do not want this meter. Various social organizations in Rajshahi are also opposing it. They say that the economic condition of the people is already shaky during the Corona period. In this situation, it is difficult for people to bear the cost of installing pre-paid meters.
Nesco has started installation of five lakh smart pre-paid meters in Rajshahi, Natore and Sirajganj districts from October 8. State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid officially inaugurated it on that day. At present, pre-paid meters are being installed at various places. But the anger among the common people is increasing day by day with this meter. After the inauguration, the social organization Rajshahi Raksha Sangram Parishad held a human chain-assembly program in opposition to it on October 26. The organization also handed over a memorandum to State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid demanding cancellation of pre-paid meters. Copies were handed over to local administration officials, including Rajshahi City Mayor AHM Khairuzzaman Liton and Sadar MP Fazle Hossain Badshah.
According to the memorandum, there is no industrial factory in Rajshahi. There is no big source of human income. Only educational institutions and the economy of this agricultural region. Here Nesco is collecting ghost bills from customers every month without seeing the meter. But a slight gust of wind disconnects the electricity here. Electrical equipment is damaged due to short circuit here due to faulty power supply. There is no initiative to set up underground transmission lines. However, an initiative has been taken to introduce pre-paid meters to increase customer suffering. It further said that due to pre-paid meters, customers in Dhaka and Chittagong have suffered immensely. People in the area have been seen to be embarrassed to recharge their meters in vending machines. They have to wait for hours, even days, to recharge their meters. They demanded that this pre-paid meter should not be imposed on the people of Rajshahi.
The demand was also made at a meeting of Rajshahi Raksha Sangram Parishad on Monday night. The meeting was held at the organization's own office. It was presided over by the president of the organization. Liaquat Ali. Speaking – General Secretary. Jamaat Khan, Advisor Asaduzzaman Asad, Organizing Secretary Debashish Pramanik Debu, Heroic Freedom Fighter Dr. Abdul Mannan, former director of Rajshahi Industries and Merchants Association Harun-ur-Rashid, women leader Kalpana Roy, Selina Begum, lawyer Entazul Haque Babu, NAP leader Mustafizur Rahman Khan Alam, heroic freedom fighter Minhaj Uddin Mintu, teacher Alauddin Al-Azad, engineer Faruk Hossain , Former upazila chairman Sufia Hasan, KM Jobaid Hossain, lawyer Shafiqul Islam and others. From this meeting, Nesco was given a 15-day ultimatum to stop the installation of pre-paid meters. If the demand is not reflected in it, it is also decided to take action. The general secretary of the organization said. Jamaat Khan said Nesco was not taking any initiative to set up an underground transmission line in the city. The people of Rajshahi are not getting the service in the name of which Nesco has been formed. On the contrary, people have become restless due to ghostly bills, irregularities, corruption and magic of electricity. Meanwhile, Nesco has leaned towards pre-paid meters without noticing. But the people of Rajshahi do not keep the bill in arrears. This time Nesco has also earned six crore rupees. Even then, an initiative has been taken to install pre-paid meters by discarding all the meters of the customers. Because of this people will face financial and mental loss.
Organizing Secretary Debashish Pramanik Debu said that wherever pre-paid meters have been introduced, people's suffering has increased. When gas came to Rajshahi, the houses of eminent persons were connected on priority basis. If the pre-paid meter is so good then it should be given to the house of those eminent persons first. Let them get the idea, then we ordinary people will take this meter. Not before that. Is agitating not to turn on pre-paid meters. But Nesco is not taking cognizance of the matter. They want to force the pre-paid meter.

« Colorado's Indian Peaks
UCI Road World Championships 2016 »
By Adam Hodges | Published September 16, 2016
CHAMONIX-MONT-BLANC, FRANCE (September 16, 2016) – Chamonix, which has become my home away from home while living abroad, gave me once again an opportunity to play in the Alps during my university's fall break this September. Over the past three years, I've been fortunate to run, hike, scramble, and otherwise explore most of the trails and valleys surrounding Mont Blanc. Mont Blanc (15,777ft / 4,808m), which stands as the highest mountain in the Alps, is really more of a mountain range unto itself than a single mountain. Its north summit technically lies within the boundaries of the town of Chamonix where the first Winter Olympics were held in 1924. The area remains one of the world's most important hubs for both summer and winter mountain sports and alpine activities.

Coursera shakes up higher education, adds 12 US and European institutions
Just announced yesterday, a dozen major research universities are teaming up with Coursera in what is being called a "tsunami" of change sweeping over the global education industry.
This autumn, Coursera will offer 150+ free MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), which are expected to draw millions of students and adult learners globally.
Even before this expansion, Coursera said it had registered 680,000 students in 43 courses with its original partners: Princeton, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Michigan.
New US partners include:
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
New overseas partners include:
University of Edinburgh in Scotland
EPF Lausanne, a technical university in Switzerland
Editor's Note: In September, Coursera added even more partners including: Berklee College of Music, Brown University, Columbia University, Emory University, University of London, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, University of Melbourne, University of British Columbia, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Ohio State University, University of California at Irvine, University of Florida, University of Maryland, University of Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt University, and Wesleyan University.
Just last month ICEF Monitor reported that MOOCs are popping up all over the place, and the big news was that they're being offered with certificates or letters of completion and a grade.
Now, only a month later, we have learned that some of Coursera's partners will offer credit as well.
The University of Washington has said it planned to offer credit for its Coursera offerings this autumn, and other online ventures are also moving in that direction. David P. Szatmary, the university's vice provost, said that to earn credit, students would probably have to pay a fee, do extra assignments and work with an instructor.
To date, most MOOCs have covered computer science, mathematics and engineering, but Coursera is expanding. The additional 12 universities add over 125 new courses to their selection in areas such as health, medicine, the arts, poetry, history, literature and other disciplines.
"This is the tsunami," said Richard A. DeMillo, the director of the Center for 21st Century Universities at Georgia Tech. "It's all so new that everyone's feeling their way around, but the potential upside for this experiment is so big that it's hard for me to imagine any large research university that wouldn't want to be involved."
Worldwide access is Coursera's goal. "EPF Lausanne, which offers courses in French, opens up access for students in half of Africa," Daphne Koller, co-founder of Coursera, said. Each university designs and produces its own courses and decides whether to offer credit.
Coursera does not pay the universities, and the universities do not pay Coursera, but both incur substantial costs. Contracts provide that if a revenue stream emerges, the company and the universities will share it. The two founders say courses will always be free and will not be funded through advertising. One way they might be able to turn a profit is via enquiry generation.
"What we are finding is that those students who did well in our courses tend to be very talented people, whom those American companies would like to hire," co-founder Andrew Ng says. "The plan is [with the permission of the student] to charge employers for the introduction of those talented students who are looking for jobs."
Caltech and the University of Pennsylvania have announced a combined US$3.7m investment in Coursera. With additional funds from current investors New Enterprise Associates and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the company now totals over US$22 million in funding.
Shifting the balance of power
Because of technological advances – among them, the greatly improved quality of online delivery platforms, the ability to personalise material and the capacity to analyse huge numbers of student experiences to see which approach works best – MOOCs are likely to be a game-changer, opening higher education to hundreds of millions of people.
"It looked like, in a sense, an accelerator for some of the things we were likely to be doing and the things we knew we're going to want to be doing," says Peter Lange, the provost at Duke.
Many universities already offer online lectures and some – notably the Open University – offer qualifications through distance learning. But observers say the rise of Coursera and similar online offerings marks a shift in the balance of power in higher education.
Mike Boxall, of the management consultancy PA Consulting, compared the development to the changes that have swept the media and music industry. "The interesting thing is that it effectively marks the provision of knowledge as a free good, which accords with young people's expectations.
"Now you've got the industry saying, we have to protect our offer – that offer is not the key to the library door – they have to provide something around that, the ability to use and interact with that knowledge."
The growth in online learning is likely to push universities towards greater emphasis on one-to-one tuition and other interaction with students, Boxall said. "What does that mean for 500-seat lecture theatres? It's amazing that universities are still building big lecture theatres – there's a huge wave of building across the university world. They're not rethinking that environment."
Jeff Haywood, vice-principal at Edinburgh University, said his institution was adopting a breakeven model. The platform serves as a shop window for universities; a free course with no entry qualifications offers students a way of sampling a traditional university education.
It also offers the universities a chance to innovate, Haywood said, and continued:
"There's an ability to experiment at a scale that we can't do on campus – you can't put together a class of 20,000 students on campus. If we're able to get some confidence that we can do automated large-scale assessment, on computers, we may do more of that and release our academic team to do higher value-added teaching."
An internet-based model which can pick the best courses from around the world puts greater pressure on universities to be distinctive; one of the courses Edinburgh will offer is in artificial intelligence, for which it has an international reputation.
"We think we can join with these other universities on collectively learning from this," says Philip Zelikow, the associate dean for graduate academic programs at Virginia. "In a way it's a large R&D project, where we get to participate with a lot of universities that we regard as our peers."
The rise of MOOCs
Already the largest platform in the still-young field of MOOC providers, Coursera could increase its reach by a factor of four with the new partnerships. After initially forming in the shadows of fellow MOOC providers Udacity, which got more press, and edX, which got more money, Coursera has grown much more quickly than its peers. It now has 16 institutional partners, with more than 150 open courses in the works.
MOOCs were largely unknown until a wave of publicity last year about Stanford University's free online artificial intelligence course attracted 160,000 students from 190 countries. Only 23,000 students completed the course, but even so, the numbers were staggering.
"The fact that so many people are so curious about these courses shows the yearning for education," said Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American Council on Education. "There are going to be lots of bumps in the road, but this is a very important experiment at a very substantial scale."
Experts say it is too soon to predict how MOOCs will play out, or which venture will emerge as the leader. Each company offers online materials broken into manageable chunks, with short video segments, interactive quizzes and other activities – as well as online forums where students answer one another's questions.

The four-year-old bull market on Wall Street -- which has enjoyed a 20 percent rise so far this year alone -- is taking a battering. On Monday, the Dow Jones index of 30 leading industrial stocks had an unnerving 61.87-point tumble. That was its biggest one-day drop ever. The market was headed lower at midafternoon Tuesday as well.
Most of the investment community appears to be taking the slide in stride, however. Since the Dow index is as high as it is (around 1,800), a big point drop does not mean that much on a percentage basis.
Mr. Brown is encouraged by expectations that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates to spur the economy, by the sharp drop in oil prices, and by an unusually high percentage of investible cash now held by mutual funds.
Brown says the bull market is fundamentally intact. But he sees more big swings -- both up and down -- in the months ahead. This volatility is tied to the rise in speculative investing that accompanies a long-running bull market and to futures-related ``program trading'' by wealthy institutional investors.
Brown compares the current market volatility to that during the bull market of 1928. ``Over the next 12 months, we will occasionally see swings in the DJIA of 60 to 80 points. . . . We are in for some wild times before this bull market ends,'' Brown predicted in a report he issued on June 18.
What set this record plunge in motion?
Two key market analysts issued sell signals to their followers. These were accompanied by investor worries over bulging federal deficits in the wake of Monday's Supreme Court declaration that parts of the Gramm-Rudman balanced-budget law are unconstitutional.
One of those analysts, John Mendelson, who is Dean Witter Reynolds's chief market strategist, issued a sell order Monday. His call coincided with Robert R. Prechter's sell signal, which arrived in the mailboxes of subscribers to his weekly Elliott Wave Theorist Newsletter.
Not unlike market maven Joe Granville in the early '80s, the Gainesville, Ga.-based Prechter has gained a huge following. One extremely bullish prediction after another has come true over the past several years. His sell signal was the first in 2 years.
Both Mr. Prechter and Peter Eliades, the top two ``market timers,'' according to Robert E. James, publisher of Timer Digest in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., turned bearish last week. ``Now the majority of the top 10 timers are bearish over the intermediate term,'' Mr. James says.
How long is the intermediate term?
Mr. Eliades predicted in his Los Angeles-based Stock Market Cycles newsletter several months ago that the market would top at around 1,920 in June. Now he boldly pegs July 25 as the low.
Both Eliades and Prechter have compiled their records based on a branch of chart reading known as cycle theory. Prechter forecasts using the theories devised by R. N. Elliott. These hold that changes in stock prices are the result of mass swings in investor moods, which follow a sequence, creating predictable patterns. Eliades also tracks price movements and sees numerous cyclical patterns from which he makes predictions about future price changes.
The interpretations by Elaides and Prechter are that after a lull the market is headed for new highs before year-end.

{{title:Why tolerate Tarmac-geddon in the countryside?}}
Why tolerate Tarmac-geddon in the countryside?
Article in The Guardian by Patrick Barkham, 13.11.17 - click here to read online. Also published on paper as 'The Road to Rural Oblivion'. Read Patrick's article below.
ABNC review of this article:
Nature journalist Patrick Barkham has 'grasped the nettle' here. The discovery by Mid Arun Valley Environmental Survey of the amazing biodiversity and habitat value of the area south and west of Arundel, which would be severely impacted by the two offline bypass routes, has become a national story. Many country-wide will be as shocked as Patrick that Highways England are looking at a major new road through a National Park landscape of this importance at all, let alone that they have presented a consultation on it on such a knowingly shoddy ecological impact assessment basis. The lack of regard to the biggest strategic issue of climate change is a national issue, as is the need to restructure the Roads Improvement Strategy agenda for traffic management rather than just building more and bigger roads to increase car use, dependency, and collateral damage.
Like most motorists passing the West Sussex town of Arundel, I spent some time last week in a jam at Crossbush, one of the most bizarre road junctions ever. A child could design a better way of moving traffic into the single-carriageway A27.
I then spent several hours in the countryside that grown-ups hope will alleviate this jam. Highways England proposes building a dual carriageway through a landscape filled with bluebells, orchids, historic hedgerows, a pond where a thousand toads gather in spring, and ancient trees where 13 of Britain's 17 breeding bat species fly.
Engineers are now deciding between three routes, all of which destroy precious water meadows and woodland (one option obliterates a massive 24 hectares), and pass through the South Downs National Park. Trees that have been alive since the Norman conquest have less legal protection than listed buildings, and ancient woodland – designated as over 400 years old – urgently needs specific legal protection. However, Arundel's bypass illustrates the hazards in such "conservation" designations. They simply encourage developers to let rip on unprotected land.
West Sussex county council favours the most southerly route, which avoids the largest incursions into the national park. But the bluebells don't stop where woodland becomes less ancient. Nor do the rare bats, bees or butterflies. The whole of our countryside is greater than the sum of its parts, and new roads not only bring pollution – noise and light, as well as air – they fragment and isolate the species we share our world with.
Are we prepared to trade such wealth – peace, space, clean air, dark skies, other species – for a road that will save motorists, at best, 10 minutes in 2041, before they hit the A27's next pinch-point at Worthing or Chichester?
I once asked for directions when I was lost and was told: "I wouldn't start from here." So, too, with utterly futile road-building, which only drives more traffic and more pollution.
Start here instead: no new roads.
No new roads doesn't mean abandoning local residents to apocalyptic jams. A fraction of the £250m-plus Arundel bypass cost could build motorway-style junctions at bottlenecks such as Crossbush. Free-flowing 40mph traffic on the existing single-carriageway is less polluting than vanity bypasses.
But a no-new-roads policy must persuade motorists such as me to use their cars less. Vehicles travelled 68bn miles on British motorways in the year to June, up by more than a third since the 1990s. This is disastrous for (almost) everyone.

With 44 papers across two intensive days in July, the International History of Public Relations Conference will have its highest-ever number of presentations.
The conference on 8-9 July at Bournemouth University is being held for the sixth time and includes papers from authors in 20 countries.
"The strength-in-depth of the papers shows how far the scholarship of the history of public relations has developed since the first conference in 2010," said conference chair Professor Tom Watson.
IHPRC 2015 has many more first-time presenters than in previous years, which is also extending the base of historical research. Selected papers from the conference will be published in a Public Relations History special issue of Public Relations Review in 2016.

Carles Tusquets: 'Elections as soon as possible'
President of the Managing Committe discusses details of today's meeting, with elections and finances the top priorities
The president of the FC Barcelona Managing Commission, Carles Tusquets, spoke to the press on Monday to explain what had happened at its first meeting. The two main matters of discussion were the elections and the club's finances in times of pandemic.
The idea is to set an election date for whenever is possible around Christmastime. "We set up a work group today that will liaise with the health authorities to ensure the full safety of our members while also ensuring the highest possible turnout" he said. "We will deploy all logistic and human resources to ensure it is well organised, always respecting the club statutes. We could promote postal voting too."
As for the financial matter, he said that "we are living in an exceptional period that requires exceptional decisions by everyone involved … In order to balance the budget we need to reduce spending by 300 million euros … And this Commission thinks it is reasonable to implement certain measures to limit the consequences of this pandemic."
The quickest way could be through the negotiations with the players and workers at the club, due to end on November 5, although Tusquets notes that "the idea is to defer payments and reach an agreement that will benefit all parties. There is willingness from all concerned, including Leo Messi and his agents."
As for the winter transfer mark, Tusquets commented that "I feel we should only make a move if a player can come at zero cost. Or if a player is sold in the transfer window, then we could buy."
"But all these decisions can be reversed by the next presidency. If the new Board wants to go back on everything we decided, then they are free to do so."
To conclude, he said that "the club is on solid ground and has a strong future. There are a number of agreements on the table that could bring in a lot of income. There is hope in the medium term and if we are all committed to the tasks, we can all make it happen."

The new school year has started, and your children may be deciding which athletics they want to participate in this year. Whether your child loves playing football or running cross country, their footwear plays a very important part in the safety of their feet. Sever's disease is a condition that affects many young people, so consider that as well when purchasing new shoes.
Staying safe is priority number one, especially for young children. Many adolescent athletes may experience the pain of Sever's disease. This occurs when the growth plate in the heel becomes inflamed due to excessive strain. The pain may be unsettling and limiting, but fortunately it's only temporary. As soon as your child finishes growing the epiphyseal plate will no longer be bothered. The main ways to treat Sever's disease are by resting and icing the foot. You can have your child do stretches or wear an orthotic. However, one of the best ways to prevent this condition is by choosing the right footwear.
The most important quality in a shoe that will prevent Sever's disease is shock absorption in the heel. That way your child's heel will not bear the brunt of the force that is placed upon their feet when they are engaged in physical activity. There are many different types of shock absorbing materials out there. From gel to foam, it's up to you and your child to find the right fit for them. There are also shoes that have removable insoles so you can try different ones to see what works best. It might take a lot of time to shop for the best shoes, but it will be so worth it to avoid the pain and hassle of Sever's disease.
For more information about this condition call Dr. Marco Vargas at (888) 784-5335 to schedule an appointment at Vargas Foot & Ankle Specialists in Houston.

Now is Not The Time to Talk About Gun Control?
Photo credit: AK Rockefeller | Flickr
Now is not the time?
Once again after another mass shooting in America, politicians respond with "now is not the time to talk about gun control."
Politicians have given the same response after nearly every mass shooting in the U.S. since the Columbine High School shooting.
If now is not the time to talk about gun control in America, when is the time?
The Congressional Research Service found that from 2007 to 2013, there have been seven mass public shootings in which 10 or more people were killed.
Seven of ten of the deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history have occurred in the past decade, and three of the deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past five months. Why is now not the time?
There have been at least 239 school shootings since the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. These shootings have killed or injured more than 438 people.
Sandy Hook remains the deadliest elementary school shooting in modern U.S. history and the fourth deadliest shooting ever. Five years later, there still has been very little substantive discussion about gun control.
The terrible numbers that grow with each mass shooting are alarming. The number of mass shootings is increasing. The diversity of places where shootings are occurring in the U.S. is increasing—in 2017 Florida residents rated Parkland, FL the "safest" place in Florida to live. The number of weapons people are stockpiling is increasing.
Too many people—young and old—are dying from gun violence and we still refuse to talk about gun control. We'll talk about mental health but we won't talk about gun control.
Following the Las Vegas mass shooting—the deadliest U.S. mass shooting yet—President Donald Trump said that he would be talking about gun control "within a very short period of time." No such discussion has taken place. Instead, all the discussions have been about mental illness.
After the Parkland, FL school shooting, Trump once again placed the blame on mental illness. While Trump often blames mass shootings on mental health, in February 2017, Trump signed legislation cutting an Obama-era regulation that added to the national gun background check database the names of people who are receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses. The regulation would have prevented an estimated 75,000 people with mental disorders from being able to purchase a firearm.
While we need to discuss how to better serve people with mental illnesses–especially young people–mental illness is not a uniquely American problem. There are mentally ill people around the world. Gun violence and repeated mass shootings, however, are American problems.
Despite the fact that mental illness is often invoked as the reason for so many mass shootings in the U.S., mental illness is not the reason.
A study in the American Journal of Public Health found that databases that track gun homicides show that people with a diagnosed mental illness committed less than 5 percent of 120,000 gun-related killings in the U.S. between 2001 and 2010.
Research suggests that the only variable that explains the high rate of mass shootings in America is the astronomical number of guns in America.
Contrary to popular perception, the significant number of guns in America is not because most Americans own guns. While the NRA and pro-gun advocates constantly repeat the rhetoric about the government taking guns away from Americans, nearly sixty percent of American households do not own a gun.
Because of the easy access to guns in the U.S., 3 percent of American adults are able to own half of the nation's guns.
Practical common sense gun control policies that help restrict easy access to guns do not take away an Americans' constitutional right to own a gun.
We as a nation have more policies controlling voting access (which is also a constitutional right) than we have controlling gun access.
Why should we as a nation make it easy for individuals to stockpile weapons? The right to own a gun is not a right to own an arsenal. Laws limiting multiple purchases of firearms are proven to significantly reduce the number of crime guns.
Furthermore, why should the right to own a gun include owning military assault weapons that are designed solely for the purpose of killing as many people as possible?
The most popular of these military assault weapons is the AR-15. The AR-15 is a lightweight, customizable version of the military's M16. While once banned, the AR-15 soared in popularity after a federal ban on assault weapons expired in 2004.
Since the expiration of that ban, more than a dozen mass shootings have involved AR-15 style assault rifles–including a Las Vegas concert, an Orlando nightclub, an elementary school in Newtown, Conn, a Texas church, and now a high school in Parkland, Fla.
Six of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the U.S. over the past decade have used AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles. In the 14 years since the expiration of the ban, people have used AR-15 style assault weapons to murder more than 221 people and to injure more than 600 people.
Another common sense gun control policy includes a ban on a device called a "bump stock." A bump stock, which holds up to 100 rounds of ammunition, allows a semi-automatic rifle to fire at a rate of speed similar to an automatic rifle. The gunman who killed 58 people in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, 2017, used a bump stock.
Congressional lawmakers called for more regulation of bump stocks and even outright bans after the Las Vegas killings. Four months after the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, Congress still has not acted on bump stocks.
While Americans often feel a sense of helplessness when it comes to preventing mass shootings in America, it seems somewhat obvious that one way to address the problem of gun violence is to talk about and implement common sense gun control policies.
If we really care about protecting lives, we need to talk about everything that might help protect lives—including gun control.
There is no one answer to addressing gun violence in America. The solution isn't simply addressing mental health. The solution isn't simply addressing gun control. The solution has to be comprehensive, and now is the time to talk about all the components of such a comprehensive solution.
While many politicians keep saying, "now is not the time to talk about gun control," I hope the outrage of high school students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL (and from elsewhere around the country) will force America to realize that now is the time to talk about (and implement) common sense gun control policies in America.

Q: Why c# compiler in some cases emits newobj/stobj rather than 'call instance .ctor' for struct initialization here some test program in c#:
using System;

struct Foo {
    int x;
    public Foo(int x) {
        this.x = x;
    }
    public override string ToString() {
        return x.ToString();
    }
}

class Program {
    static void PrintFoo(ref Foo foo) {
        Console.WriteLine(foo);
    }

    static void Main(string[] args) {
        Foo foo1 = new Foo(10);
        Foo foo2 = new Foo(20);

        Console.WriteLine(foo1);
        PrintFoo(ref foo2);
    }
}

and here disassembled compiled version of method Main:
.method private hidebysig static void Main (string[] args) cil managed {
    // Method begins at RVA 0x2078
    // Code size 42 (0x2a)
    .maxstack 2
    .entrypoint
    .locals init (
        [0] valuetype Foo foo1,
        [1] valuetype Foo foo2
    )

    IL_0000: ldloca.s foo1
    IL_0002: ldc.i4.s 10
    IL_0004: call instance void Foo::.ctor(int32)
    IL_0009: ldloca.s foo2
    IL_000b: ldc.i4.s 20
    IL_000d: newobj instance void Foo::.ctor(int32)
    IL_0012: stobj Foo
    IL_0017: ldloc.0
    IL_0018: box Foo
    IL_001d: call void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(object)
    IL_0022: ldloca.s foo2
    IL_0024: call void Program::PrintFoo(valuetype Foo&)
    IL_0029: ret
} // end of method Program::Main

I don't get why newobj/stobj was emitted instead of simple call .ctor ?
To make it more mysterious, newobj+stobj optimized by jit-compiler in 32 bit mode to one ctor call, but it doesn't in 64 bit mode...
UPDATE:
To clarify my confusion, below are my expectation.
value-type declaration expression like
Foo foo = new Foo(10)
should be compiled via
call instance void Foo::.ctor(int32)
value-type declaration expression like
Foo foo = default(Foo)
should be compiled via
initobj Foo
in my opinion temp variable in case of construction expression, or instance of default expression should be considered as target variable, as this could not follow to any dangerous behaviour
try{
    //foo invisible here
    ...
    Foo foo = new Foo(10);
    //we never get here, if something goes wrong
}catch(...){
    //foo invisible here
}finally{
    //foo invisible here
}

assignment expression like
foo = new Foo(10); // foo declared somewhere before
should be compiled to something like this:
.locals init (
    ...
    valuetype Foo __temp,
    ...
)

...
ldloca __temp
ldc.i4 10
call instance void Foo::.ctor(int32)
ldloc __temp
stloc foo
...

this the way i understand what C# specification says:

7.6.10.1 Object creation expressions
...
The run-time processing of an object-creation-expression of the form new T(A), where T is class-type or a struct-type and A is an optional argument-list, consists of the following steps:
...
If T is a struct-type:

*

*An instance of type T is created by allocating a temporary local variable. Since an instance constructor of a struct-type is required to definitely assign a value to each field of the instance being created, no initialization of the temporary variable is necessary.

*The instance constructor is invoked according to the rules of function member invocation (§7.5.4). A reference to the newly allocated instance is automatically passed to the instance constructor and the instance can be accessed from within that constructor as this.

i want to make emphasis on "allocating a temporary local variable".
and in my understanding newobj instruction assume creation of object on heap...
Dependency of object creation from how it used make me down in this case, as foo1 and foo2 looks identically for me.

A: First off, you should read my article on this subject. It does not address your specific scenario, but it has some good background information:
https://ericlippert.com/2010/10/11/debunking-another-myth-about-value-types/
OK, so now that you've read that you know that the C# specification states that constructing an instance of a struct has these semantics:

*

*Create a temporary variable to store the struct value, initialized to the default value of the struct.

*Pass a reference to that temporary variable as the "this" of the constructor

So when you say:
Foo foo = new Foo(123);

That is equivalent to:
Foo foo;
Foo temp = default(Foo);
Foo.ctor(ref temp, 123); // "this" is a ref to a variable in a struct.
foo1 = temp;

Now, you might ask why go through all the trouble of allocating a temporary when we already have a variable foo right there that could be this:
Foo foo = default(Foo);
Foo.ctor(ref foo, 123);

That optimization is called copy elision. The C# compiler and/or the jitter are permitted to perform a copy elision when they determine using their heuristics that doing so is always invisible. There are rare circumstances in which a copy elision can cause an observable change in the program, and in those cases the optimization must not be used. For example, suppose we have a pair-of-ints struct:
Pair p = default(Pair);
try { p = new Pair(10, 20); } catch {}
Console.WriteLine(p.First);
Console.WriteLine(p.Second);

We expect that p here is either (0, 0) or (10, 20), never (10, 0) or (0, 20), even if the ctor throws halfway through. That is, either the assignment to p was of the completely constructed value, or no modification was made to p at all. The copy elision cannot be performed here; we have to make a temporary, pass the temporary to the ctor, and then copy the temporary to p.
Similarly, suppose we had this insanity:
Pair p = default(Pair);
p = new Pair(10, 20, ref p);
Console.WriteLine(p.First);
Console.WriteLine(p.Second);

If the C# compiler performs the copy elision then this and ref p are both aliases to p, which is observably different than if this is an alias to a temporary! The ctor could observe that changes to this cause changes to ref p if they alias the same variable, but would not observe that if they aliased different variables.
The C# compiler heuristic is deciding to do the copy elision on foo1 but not foo2 in your program. It is seeing that there is a ref foo2 in your method and deciding right there to give up. It could do a more sophisticated analysis to determine that it is not in one of these crazy aliasing situations, but it doesn't. The cheap and easy thing to do is to just skip the optimization if there is any chance, however remote, that there could be an aliasing situation that makes the elision visible. It generates the newobj code and let the jitter decide whether it wants to make the elision.
As for the jitter: the 64 bit and 32 bit jitters have completely different optimizers. Apparently one of them is deciding that it can introduce the copy elision that the C# compiler did not, and the other one is not.

A: That's because the variables foo1 and foo2 are different.
The foo1 variable is just a value, but the foo2 variable is both a value and a pointer as it's used in a call with the ref keyword.
When the foo2 variable is initialised, the pointer is set up to point to the value, and the constructor is called with the value of the pointer rather than the address of the value.
If you set up two PrintFoo methods with the only difference that one has the ref keyword, and call them with one variable each:
Foo a = new Foo(10);
Foo b = new Foo(20);
PrintFoo(ref a);
PrintFoo(b);

If you decompile the generated code, the difference between the variables is visible:
&Foo a = new Foo(10);
Foo b = new Foo(20);
Program.PrintFoo(ref a);
Program.PrintFoo(b);

I've made simple vector wallpaper inspirated by Jigoku Shoujo. This is as everybody, who watched this anime, know a Symbol of Grudge. This thing appears at chest of the person, who summoned Hell Girl, and this mark will be there till the end of this persons live.
I'd like this shape, so I made up my mind to do something simple for my desktop. I like colors from logo of this serie, so i used them. I gived a texture too, but I'm not sure if it suits this work.
I made this work in Inkscape and added texture in GIMP.
It will be very nice to read your comments!
Oh, I love this anime. The idea is very unique and funny to make a wallpaper using this element.
really nice! :D favorited it!

Addressing Change
Sign The Pledge
Forrest Bayard and Stu Webb
Our original group was called together by J. Kim Wright. As we talked about our lineage, we recognized that Kim's lineage was part of ours. We asked her who had inspired her. She told us about Forrest Bayard and Stu Webb.
Forrest was a unique individual. In 1993, Kim had sworn off practicing law (since it was so adversarial) when she met him in a course. Forrest opened Kim's eyes to the possibilities of a law practice based on granting dignity to each person and to peacemaking. When she saw the new possibility, she knew that she could be a lawyer. Without Forrest, Kim might have still been doing good work outside the law but would never have brought us all together. Forrest passed away in 2002.
In addition to Forrest Bayard, Stu Webb was a big influence on Kim. Forrest introduced Kim to Stu, the founder or, as they say, the Godfather of Collaborative Law. Stu is a trailblazer, innovator, and creative lawyer whose model gave structure and form to the peacemaking and healing approaches to law. Kim interviewed Stu in the beginning of her nomadic travels. The image is linked to that interview.
Envisioning a New Paradigm of Law
Forrest Webb began as a group of lawyers and legal consultants with a shared mission and vision. We set out to transform what it means to be a lawyer through collaboration and exploration of how to make the world a better place.

And there is no better SUV to tackle winter snow storms, take the road less traveled, and is ready for every adventure than the Subaru Outback. Don't believe us? See how well the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 compare to the 2019 Outback.
The Honda CR-V has been one SUV that many drivers are often torn between when shopping for a midsize SUV. But like many other shoppers you want to get the most bang for your buck. This is something that the Subaru Outback does better than the Honda CR-V with more standard advanced safety features, is better equipped for adventure, and is more affordable and reliable.
On & Off-road Performance: Like many drivers around Keene, the Subaru Outback has been the only SUV for you with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to get you where you need to be no matter how much snow falls. The Honda CR-V is available with a less capable all-wheel-drive system for an addition $2,000. The Subaru Outback also comes standard with X-Mode with Hill Descent Control that works in tandem with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for enhanced traction and control no matter where the road may go.
Advanced Safety: Subaru is well known for their commitment to safety and the 2019 Subaru Outback is raising the bar. Every 2019 Subaru Outback model comes standard with the highly awarded EyeSight Driver Assist Technology that includes four advanced safety features. The Honda CR-V is available with Honda Sensing on select trim levels. Honda Sensing also doesn't feature all of the same features as EyeSight and is not as regarded by safety officials. The Subaru Outback also has a number of advanced safety features that the Honda CR-V isn't available with. Like LED Steering Responsive Headlights and Automatic Collision Response.
Price & Value: It is safe to say that everyone loves to hear the word standard when shopping for a new vehicle and standard is a word you will hear a lot when shopping for the Subaru Outback. The 2019 Subaru Outback starts at just $26,345 with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-Mode with Hill Descent Control, and EyeSight Driver Assist Technology all standard. To get a Honda CR-V with all-wheel-drive and similar advanced safety features be prepared to spend close to $30,000.
Another popular midsize SUV that is often compared to the Subaru Outback is the Toyota RAV4. Many drivers are drawn to the RAV4's standard safety system, but the RAV4 isn't the only SUV anymore with standard advanced safety features. The 2019 Subaru Outback now comes standard with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. Just one more reason to love the Subaru Outback.
Efficient & Powerful: Everyone wants an SUV that is both fuel efficient and delivers spirited performance, which are two things the 2019 Outback does better than the RAV4. The RAV4 is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder that has one more horsepower than the Outback, 176, and only gets 30 highway mpg. When the RAV4 is equipped with all-wheel-drive its fuel efficiency decreases to 28 highway mpg. While the Subaru Outback with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder BOXER engine, gets an impressive 32 highway mpg. The Outback is also available with a 3.6L six-cylinder BOXER engine that generates 256 horsepower.
Ready For Adventure: The Subaru Outback is the ultimate midsize SUV, sports utility vehicle, and is ready for any adventure you may have in mind. The Outback comes standard with raised roof rails and integrated crossbars that make attaching any roof accessory easy.

Unless you buy the specific Adventure trim level with all-wheel-drive that can tow up to 3,500 lbs. Another way that the Outback is better equipped for adventure is with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and X-Mode with Hill Descent Control for impressive traction and control on and off-road. The RAV4 is available with all-wheel-drive for an additional cost.
Safety Features: The Toyota RAV4 stood out from the crowd with Toyota Safety Sense standard on every model. Now the Subaru Outback comes standard with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. Not only is EyeSight feature a few different features than Toyota Safety Sense, but it is also more highly regarded and often ranked as the best driver assist package available. The Outback is also available with other safety features not offered on the Toyota RAV4, like LED Steering Responsive Headlights, SOS Emergency Button, and Automatic Collision Response.

Wilfred Owen – English poet and soldier.
Wilfred Owen (an English poet and solider) was born on 18 March 1893 at Plas Wilmot, a house in Weston Lane, near Oswestry in Shropshire. His family shuffled between Birkenhead and Shrewsbury during his childhood, and he was educated at the Birkenhead Institute and at Shrewsbury Technical School. Raised as an Anglican, he was a devout believer in his youth. However, he lost faith in the church because of its ceremony and failure to help those in need. He enlisted in the Artists' Rifles Officers' Training Corps when war broke out. He trained at Hare Hall Camp in Essex and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment.
Owen was educated at the Birkenhead Institute and matriculated at the University of London; after an illness in 1913, he lived in France. He had already begun to write and, while working as a tutor near Bordeaux, was preparing a book of "Minor Poems in Minor Keys by a Minor," which was never published. These early poems are consciously modeled on those of John Keats; often ambitious, they show enjoyment of poetry as a craft.
He was one of the leading poets of the First World War. His war poetry on the horrors of trenches and gas warfare was heavily influenced by his mentor Siegfried Sassoon and stood in stark contrast both to the public perception of war at the time and to the confidently patriotic verse written by earlier war poets such as Rupert Brooke. Among his best-known works – most of which were published posthumously – are "Dulce et Decorum est", "Insensibility", "Anthem for Doomed Youth", "Futility", "Spring Offensive" and "Strange Meeting".
While attempting to cross the Sambre canal, he was shot and killed. The news of his death arrived at his parents' house in Shrewsbury on Armistice Day.
Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born Wilfred Edward Salter Owen on March 18, 1893, to Thomas Owen and Harriet Susan Shaw Owen at Oswestry, Shropshire, England. The eldest of four children, his siblings were Harold, Colin, and Mary Millard Owen. When Wilfred was born, his parents lived in a comfortable house owned by his grandfather, Edward Shaw.
After Edward's death in January 1897, and the house's sale in March, the family lodged in the back streets of Birkenhead. There Thomas Owen temporarily worked in the town employed by a railway company. Thomas transferred to Shrewsbury in April 1897 where the family lived with Thomas' parents in Canon Street.
The family then stayed in Birkenhead while Thomas Owen worked with a railway company. His father was transferred to Shrewsbury, during which time the family lived with Thomas' parents in Canon Street. In 1898, Thomas was transferred back to Birkenhead when he became stationmaster at Woodside station. His family moved homes three successive times in the Tranmere district. They moved back to Shrewsbury in 1907.
Wilfred Owen was educated at the Birkenhead Institute and at Shrewsbury Technical School (later known as the Wakeman School). His last two years of formal education saw him as a pupil-teacher at the Wyle Cop school in Shrewsbury. In 1911 he passed the matriculation exam for the University of London, but not with the first-class honors needed for a scholarship, which in his family's circumstances was the only way he could have afforded to attend.
In return for free lodging, and some tuition for the entrance exam Owen worked as a lay assistant to the Vicar of Dunsden near Reading, living in the vicarage from September 1911 to February 1913. During this time he attended classes at University College, Reading (now the University of Reading), in botany and later, at the urging of the head of the English Department, took free lessons in Old English. His time spent at Dunsden parish led him to disillusionment with the Church, both in its ceremony and its failure to provide aid for those in need.
Owen's friends, Robert Graves and Sacheverell Sitwell, have stated that he was homosexual. It has been debated whether Owen had an affair with Scottish writer C. K. Scott-Moncrieff in May 1918.
Owen discovered his poetic vocation in about 1904 during a holiday spent in Cheshire. He was raised as an Anglican of the evangelical type, and in his youth was a devout believer, in part due to his strong relationship with his mother, which lasted throughout his life. His early influences included the Bible and the "big six" of romantic poetry, particularly John Keats.
In 1915 Owen enlisted in the British army. The experience of trench warfare brought him to rapid maturity; the poems were written after January 1917 are full of anger at war's brutality, an elegiac pity for "those who die as cattle," and a rare descriptive power. In June 1917 he was wounded and sent home. While in a hospital near Edinburgh he met the poet Siegfried Sassoon, who shared his feelings about the war and who became interested in his work. Reading Sassoon's poems and discussing his work with Sassoon revolutionized Owen's style and his conception of poetry.
On 4 June 1916, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant (on probation) in the Manchester Regiment. Initially, Owen held his troops in contempt for their loutish behavior, and in a letter to his mother described his company as "expressionless lumps". However, his imaginative existence was to be changed dramatically by a number of traumatic experiences. He fell into a shell hole and suffered a concussion; he was blown up by a trench mortar and spent several days unconscious on an embankment lying amongst the remains of one of his fellow officers. Soon afterward, Owen was diagnosed as suffering from neurasthenia or shell shock and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh for treatment. It was while recuperating at Craiglockhart that he met fellow poet Siegfried Sassoon, an encounter that was to transform Owen's life.
Dr. Arthur Brock, at Craiglockhart, advised him to put his war experiences into poetry. He composed poems, including "Futility" and "Strange Meeting". He made friends with intellectuals and taught at the Tynecastle High School. Owen's early writing and poetry were initially influenced by the Romantic poets Keats and Shelley. Later, Siegfried Sassoon's impact can be seen in his poems, "Dulce et Decorum Est" and "Anthem for Doomed Youth".
Owen's poetry itself underwent significant changes in 1917. As a part of his therapy at Craiglockhart, Owen's doctor, Arthur Brock, encouraged Owen to translate his experiences, specifically the experiences he relived in his dreams, into poetry. Sassoon, who was becoming influenced by Freudian psychoanalysis, aided him here, showing Owen through example what poetry could do. Sassoon's use of satire influenced Owen, who tried his hand at writing "in Sassoon's style". Further, the content of Owen's verse was undeniably changed by his work with Sassoon. Sassoon's emphasis on realism and "writing from experience" was contrary to Owen's hitherto romantic-influenced style, as seen in his earlier sonnets. Owen was to take both Sassoon's gritty realism and his own romantic notions and create a poetic synthesis that was both potent and sympathetic, as summarised by his famous phrase "the pity of war". In this way, Owen's poetry is quite distinctive, and he is, by many, considered a greater poet than Sassoon. Nonetheless, Sassoon contributed to Owen's popularity by the strong promotion of his poetry, both before and after Owen's death, and his editing was instrumental in the making of Owen as a poet.
He wrote a "Preface" for the verses he planned to write. However, the only poems he saw published were those published in The Hydra, the magazine he edited, and "Miners" published in The Nation.
Only five of Owen's poems were published before his death, one in fragmentary form. His best-known poems include "Anthem for Doomed Youth", "Futility", "Dulce Et Decorum Est", "The Parable of the Old Men and the Young" and "Strange Meeting". However, most of them were published posthumously: Poems (1920), The Poems of Wilfred Owen (1931), The Collected Poems of Wilfred Owen (1963), The Complete Poems and Fragments (1983); fundamental in this last collection is the poem Soldier's Dream, that deals with Owen's conception of war.
Owen's full unexpurgated opus is in the academic two-volume work The Complete Poems and Fragments (1994) by Jon Stallworthy. Many of his poems have never been published in popular form.
Owen held Siegfried Sassoon in an esteem not far from hero-worship, remarking to his mother that he was "not worthy to light Sassoon's pipe". The relationship clearly had a profound impact on Owen, who wrote in his first letter to Sassoon after leaving Craiglockhart "You have fixed my life – however short". Sassoon wrote that he took "an instinctive liking to him", and recalled their time together "with affection". On the evening of 3 November 1917, they parted, Owen, having been discharged from Craiglockhart. He was stationed on home-duty in Scarborough for several months, during which time he associated with members of the artistic circle into which Sassoon had introduced him, which included Robbie Ross and Robert Graves. He also met H. G. Wells and Arnold Bennett, and it was during this period he developed the stylistic voice for which he is now recognized. Many of his early poems were penned while stationed at the Clarence Garden Hotel, now the Clifton Hotel in Scarborough's North Bay. A blue tourist plaque on the hotel marks its association with Owen.
Wilfred Owen's reputation has grown steadily, helped over the years by Edmund Blunden's edition with a biographical memoir in 1931, and by later editions, biographies and critical analyses by C.Day Lewis, Jon Stallworthy, Dominic Hibberd and others. Modern scholarship regards Owen's work as the most significant poetry to come out of the 1914-1918 war years, and his influence on later generations of poets and readers is widely acknowledged. In 1961 several of his poems were included in Benjamin Britten's War Requiem.
An important turning point in Owen scholarship occurred in 1987 when the New Statesman published a stinging polemic 'The Truth Untold' by Jonathan Cutbill, the literary executor of Edward Carpenter, which attacked the academic suppression of Owen as a poet of homosexual experience. Amongst the points it made was that the poem "Shadwell Stair", previously alleged to be mysterious, was a straightforward elegy to homosexual soliciting in an area of the London docks once renowned for it.
Owen was awarded the Military Cross for his courage and leadership in the Joncourt action. The award was gazetted on 15 February 1919, followed by a citation.
There are memorials to Owen at Gailly, Ors, Oswestry, Birkenhead (Central Library) and Shrewsbury.
On 11 November 1985, Owen was one of the 16 Great War poets commemorated on a slate stone unveiled in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner. The inscription on the stone is taken from Owen's "Preface" to his poems: "My subject is War and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity." There is also a small museum dedicated to Owen and Sassoon at the Craiglockhart War Hospital, now a Napier University building.
When Owen returned to the Western Front, after more than a year away, he took part in the breaking of the Hindenburg Line at Joncourt (October 1918) for which he was awarded the Military Cross in recognition of his courage and leadership. He was killed on 4 November 1918 during the battle to cross the Sambre-Oise canal at Ors. The news of his death arrived at his parents' house in Shrewsbury on Armistice Day.
The forester's house in Ors, Maison forestière de l'Ermitage, where Owen spent his last night, has been transformed by Simon Patterson into an art installation and permanent memorial to Owen and his poetry.
In 1975, Mrs. Harold Owen, sister-in-law, donated his manuscripts, photographs, and letters to the University of Oxford's English Faculty Library. The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, Texas, holds a collection of his family correspondence.
Owen's poetry has been reworked into various formats. For example, Benjamin Britten incorporated eight of Owen's poems into his War Requiem, along with words from the Latin Mass for the Dead (Missa pro Defunctis). The Requiem was commissioned for the reconsecration of Coventry Cathedral and first performed there on 30 May 1962. Derek Jarman adapted it for the screen in 1988, with the 1963 recording as the soundtrack.
His poetry is sampled multiple times on the 2000 Jedi Mind Tricks album Violent by Design. Producer Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind has been widely acclaimed for his sampling on the album, and the inclusion of Owen's poetry.


I baked this Lego cake for my son for his 10th birthday party . I just used a regular 9×13 and cut it into 3 equal parts , the 3rd part I cut in half , used different food coloring for the colors and for the top of the Lego I used marshmallows cut in half.
I used a tooth pick for the marshmallows to stay. I kind of did this in a hurry so it didn't come out exactly as I planned but my son and his friends loved it .


Kylie currently lives in the scenic Low Country of South Carolina, one of my favorite places in the world, also known as home! So, it's safe to say it's pretty important to me. We deliberated over a few different areas to capture this sweet moment in her life, and finally decided on the beautiful ruins of Old Sheldon Church in Yemassee, SC, just a hop, skip and jump from Beaufort. We picked a perfect day to photograph these as there wasn't many tourist visiting the site, and the weather was to die for; to say we were blessed is a total understatement. I seriously could not have asked for better day.
Kylie's dress was very special and sentimental. The under layer was part of her aunt's wedding gown, and was then embellished with a lace overlay and added intricate beading around the waist. It had the prettiest train, and add in her long cathedral veil, perfection! I absolutely love veils, they add a fun touch of detail to portraits! And if you're not going to wear a veil, make sure to bring along a bouquet for your portraits! This just adds additional possibilities for your bridal portrait session!
Kylie was such a sweet bride to work with, and I am so excited for her and Trey. Take a look back at her bridal session and leave her some sweet words!
Do you have a favorite place you'd take your bridal portraits if you had the chance? Or where did you have yours photographed?! I love hearing of all the fun places brides choose! I would love to hear from you!
