Kierstin is a former wedding photographer who didn't enjoy beach weddings as much as you would think.
You know not to scowl, stick your tongue out, or jam Doritos all over your face before the ceremony, using your gown as a napkin.
It's Hard for Us to Get a Good Face Shot When You and Your Girls are Constantly Sipping Mimosas to "Cool Your Nerves"
Try to get the majority of the drinking out of the way before we show up if you're hoping to get decent "getting ready" pictures. Also, in whatever area you're getting ready (hotel room, church nursery, sister's bedroom) open up a curtain and allow for natural light to seep in so we can get the best available angles even in a small space.
And I don't want to. You're gorgeous and lovely in your own right. Expect to look beautiful in your pictures because you are beautiful, not because you think we're going to do some crazy Photoshop magic.
Unfortunately, brides always tell me they hoped to look "prettier" in their pictures. What I say is, "you look amazing!" but what I'm thinking is, You do look pretty, you look like you. Not like the picture of the sixteen-year-old from the David's Bridal Catalog.
Stand tall, lift your chin, push those shoulders back, and get that skewed thinking about what you should look like out of your head before the big day.
A little makeup goes a long way. Curl your lashes and double-swipe that mascara but please don't wear dark eye shadow and liner. In editing, your eyes will most likely get lost in processing. Likewise, don't fake tan or cake on the makeup without brushing some bronzer on your chest and shoulders to blend the darker tone. Otherwise, you'll create some pretty scary coloring in the editing process.
What I'm saying is that you will look like an Oompa Loompa who's had their eyes gouged out.
Or after. We'll show you them when they're done, as in edited.
A dark venue equals dark pictures. While professional photographers will do their best to capture natural light, there's only so much we can do in a room with no windows. One time, we shot a wedding in a beautiful lodge where the only windows were low to the ground and offered little to no natural light by dinner time. It wasn't great. This is when photographers pull their flash out and you lose the soft, dreaminess of naturally lit pictures. This is why we try to get you near windows as often as possible. We just love 'em.
Keep this in mind when placing the cake. Most brides and grooms want that nasty smashing-cake-in-each-others-face picture. Plan it in the most well-lit corner of the room for optimal detail.
I know she's probably paying for the pictures but seriously, shut that beast up or I will. She gets two "loose suggestions" before I friggin' throw down. No, I'm not going to take fifty pictures of her with her second cousins on the balcony because you, her daughter, the bride are walking down the aisle in ninety-seconds and I feel that's a more important event.
They're just jealous, don't worry about it.
People pass out. It's a fact of life when you're in the wedding industry. I've seen this happen, or almost happen enough times to be able to say with all certainty--keep that bottled water flowin'! Also, if you're having an outdoor wedding in 90 degree weather or in a thunderstorm, we may opt to cut our time photographing you outside down drastically as we're liable for our safety and that of our assistants.
It's really mean. They didn't ask to be a part of your day by having their mom and dad dip into college-funds for a fufu dress and princess shoes.
Or maybe they did, but still, it's not nice. Be nice.
Why? Because I took thousands and although I'm good, I'm not that good and I don't want you to know that. You will see a choice few hundred and they will be amazing and the others will burn in Crappy-Wedding-Picture hell forever. This is best for both of us.
It's icky and gross, and in some cases is a breech of contract. Make sure you read that thing carefully, because being sexually harassed by a member of the bridal party or a guest can lead to total contract termination for some of us prude photographers.
Get all of the big-to-dos out of the way directly after dinner-- first dances, cake cutting, and bouquet tossing. That way you're guaranteed to get these shots before we start packing up for the night. Most photographers stay for the first couple hours of the reception but once the booze starts sinking in there just isn't much to photograph.
Don't Call Me "Photographer Girl" Ever.
Hey You is acceptable, or you know, the name my parents gave me at birth, but calling me Photographer Girl in front of your in-laws is really degrading.
I know you really want to get on to tagging yourself in all those pics but I'm working hard to deliver a finished product that I can be proud of.
We have a contract. We have a date on the contract that your photographs will be finished by. Look at that date. It is not fourteen hours after the wedding commenced.
Because if you do, you'll be much happier and enjoy your day more and it'll show through in your pictures. If you stave off your first meal of the day for the reception, you'll be cranky, tired, and pale and none of these things make for stunning wedding photos. Keep healthy snacks like dried fruit, nuts, mini sandwiches, and hummus and veggies around for you and your party as you all get ready for the ceremony and consider having snacks on hand afterward if you'll be taking more photos after the ceremony.
Equipment. Many of us are still paying off the cameras and equipment that give us the ability to capture all of those little moments.
Time. For some photographers, weddings aren't their full-time job and they may be taking time off from their day job to shoot your day. Then, there is the time it takes post-shoot to sort through and edit your photos.
Insurance. Both business and health. Since we operate independently we must pay that on our own.
Assistants and Employees. They gotta get paid too.
Taxes. Again, since we operate independently, we have to pay out self-employment taxes at the end of the year and that comes directly out of our upfront price.
Wardrobe. Hopefully we're not showing up in rags.
Gas, food, and lodging. If you're hiring one of us to travel, we have to factor those expenses into our final package price.
If you want to save on a wedding photographer, hire local amateurs who are just starting out and looking to build their portfolio. Check out their pictures beforehand to get an idea of their style and ability. While you won't necessarily receive magazine-quality pics, many beginners do a fantastic job.
Another way to save is to prioritize what part of the day is most important to you to have photos on then ask about discounted rates for shorter sessions. Say, four hours from the start of the ceremony to the first dance.
Again, it shows in the final product. In editing photos it's pretty obvious who was getting along that day. There's just some things that can't be photoshopped out.
We may randomly decide it would be super cool to get a picture of you being carried away by the groomsmen.
Feel free to say a hard no. Our job is to deliver the types of poses and combinations you're looking for, not to express our every creative whim.
I eloped with maybe half a dozen camera phone pictures of the day I married my best friend and I still get worked up about those gorgeous bridal shots. They're so enviable! Still, a few go a long way. Try to limit your bridal shots and make more time for photos with special friends, family, your party, and of course, your new husband or wife.
Hold Your Bouquet Below Your Waist. Otherwise it looks like you're wielding those flowers like a weapon!
Keep Your Makeup Close. Designate a bridesmaid to carry a small bag of makeup that includes everyone's lipstick and some translucent powder so you all can keep your look fresh as we take photos.
The "Sunglasses" Shot Looks Cute in Your Head. But we'll do it anyway if you ask us to.
Reflectors Are Hot. But we know that, and we're hurrying. They give you a golden glow, so hang in there.
Write Us a List of "Musts". We don't know that you handmade the napkin rings or monogrammed your dad's tie, so write us a little list of shots to get beforehand so we won't miss anything special.
Don't Tip. The practice of tipping vendors is sort of out-dated and doesn't apply to photographers. Don't bother tipping us after the event or throwing more into the check unless you really, really want to.
Feed Us. Whether you're giving us a plate at the reception or ordering pizza and salad from across the street, it's common courtesy (and practice) to feed all of the vendors at your wedding.
We Take Breaks. Photographers have to pee once in a while too!
Don't Offer us Alcohol. And if we take it, whoa! Unprofesh!!
We Have to Go Home. Maybe you're finally starting to have fun at 1 A.M. but for us, it's bedtime.
Do you need to feed your wedding photographer when you feed your guests, or is it okay to exclude them from the meal?
This was something that no couple seemed to have a solid idea of when I was still photographing weddings, and one of the things that can make the whole thing super awkward. If you plan on having your photographers stay during and after any meals served during your reception then yes, you need to include them in the meal or at least provide a separate meal for them. The same goes for all other vendors including DJs, childcare providers, planners and any other outside crew you've hired to stay with you throughout the majority of your wedding day.
In some cases, my assistants and I were just added to the meal, asked if we wanted chicken or fish, and given a table off to the side so we could eat and rest for an hour (because photographers aren't going to take pictures of you during your meal). Other times, we were provided with a separate meal, like delivered pizzas and salads in a back room where we could all just take a minute to decompress, check our phones and have a bite before returning to work for the rest of the evening.
While it may seem like a hassle to spend extra on feeding your photographers and other vendors, it's really just a common courtesy that should be extolled to anyone working what is likely to be a near 12-hour day. The only way you can get away with not feeding your vendors is if you give them an hour off to go out and grab a meal off-venue on their own. Either way, people gotta eat to stay busy!
One thing that all photographers and anyone else working your wedding should not be included in is the drinking. Anyone who's providing a professional service shouldn't be drinking on the job, plain and simple, so it's not a bad idea to let any potential DJ's, day-of coordinators, photographers and makeup artists know that you'll be feeding them but expecting them not to imbibe. If any of them seem to take issue with this maybe skip along to the next vendor on your list.
Can I take my own wedding photos?
Even if you're a seasoned photographer who knows how to work a camera from afar, set up the right lighting and direct your bridal party all while working the remote, you still have to haul all of that equipment, and you won't really be able to interact with guests.
If you don't have a lot of experience taking photos on a professional level, then you're even less likely to take quality photos without feeling completely overwhelmed. You only get your big day once - it's worth investing in a professional photographer or at least an amateur who knows how to work a camera.
Is it a good idea to hire a college student to photograph your wedding?
It's a good idea depending on your expectations. If you're willing to potentially sacrifice some quality and some of the luxuries of hiring a professional photographer in order to get a (likely much more reasonable) price on your wedding photography then go for it.
Here's what I can tell you about the differences between amateur and professional photographers from my own experience as an amateur photographer in my college years - most professionals carry photography insurance. This ensures that if someone steals their equipment, if their cameras are damaged in a fire or the computer they use to edit their photos is damaged in a flood they'll be insured replacements. When you hire a professional, the cost of this insurance is factored into the rate and is one of the reasons you pay more than you would for an amateur like I was who didn't carry that kind of insurance.
Another difference is that I didn't have a lot of equipment outside of my camera, besides flashes and reflectors and my brother and sister-in-law to back me up. I didn't have any professional programs for editing (this was also years ago when there weren't as many programs and apps that were as accessible to me as they would be now) whereas my professional counterparts' higher rates afforded them better equipment for taking and editing wedding photos.
Speaking of my brother and sister-in-law - we split whatever we made three ways even and only worked in the city we lived in to cut down on travel expenses. When you hire a professional photographer they're going to make sure that they make enough to cover their own costs (like gas, insurance and the price of their equipment), plus profit, plus whatever they need to pay their assistants and editors. That's all falling into the higher price you pay for a photographer. That also usually means you're getting better quality by trained professionals not three college kids who grew up to be a writer, a police officer and an office administrative professional and none of whom do any photography outside of their iPhone these days.
The quality won't be as magazine glamorous as the photographer who costs $8,000. But find a student with a nice portfolio and you're still going to get attractive work at a fraction of the cost.
The less money your photographer costs the less magic they're going to be able to work. They probably don't have the same training as a professional, expensive photographer so don't go into the deal thinking they're going to have the means to really pamper you. If you pay the big bucks for a wedding photographer you might get a free boudoir session with the wardrobe included, an online gallery for your images and maybe even a few meetings leading up to the big day to really define the style your going for. Hire cheap and you're not going to get that - you're not paying for it.
You're probably going to wait longer for your pictures. Amatuer photogs are usually editing the event themselves while most professional photographers will pass the images along to their assistants to edit. More people working on your event means a quicker turnaround for your photos. Having a college student who's also probably working another job and taking classes isn't going to be able to hand those over quite so quickly.
No, you should not tip your wedding photographer. Here's why - professional photographers build their packages and pricing to make sure that all of their costs are covered while also making a decent profit, so tipping is unnecessary and even awkward for your photographer.
Instead of tipping, just make sure that your photographer and other vendors are included in the reception meal and that you provide them with an adequate space to take breaks and use the bathroom while they're working for you.
Also, avoid contacting them after the wedding to see your photos earlier than the date they promised you the photos would be ready by. Sometimes, brides and grooms tip photographers hoping to have their photos done faster or to see previews. But since photographers have many clients they're working with at one time, it's not only uncool to put that extra pressure on them, it's unethical to pay a higher price through the tip in the hope that your photos will be made a priority over other couples ahead of you waiting for their finished photos.
What questions should I ask a potential wedding photographer before hiring them?
So, before contacting a photographer to see if they're the right fit for your wedding, you need to do a little sleuthing first and figure out what their packages cost, what their packages include (how many hours of work, the format you'll receive your photos in, etc.), what their working radius is (to make sure they'll be able to work the specific location of your wedding), and how long it usually takes to get your edited photos back. You'll also want to know what their cancellation policy is, what their bad-weather plan is, and what would happen in the really rare instance that they suddenly couldn't make it to your wedding (car accidents, the flu, etc.) A lot of this can probably be found on their "About Us" section of their website, but if you can't find the answers to all of your questions there, you should make sure to contact them through the Contact section of their website to find out.
Another thing you should check into, of course, is to make sure they'll be available for the date of your wedding (you can usually find this in the Calendar section of the photographer's site) and what their process is for capturing the look and feel you're hoping to get on your big day.
Some other things that I know some clients liked to know before I photographed their wedding was what kind of equipment I used, if I had any backups, if I had assistants and what I used to edit the photos. When I was doing it, I was pretty amateurish and my equipment - and experience - was minimal. I think a lot of couples expected me to work magic and while I wasn't half bad, my abilities weren't as prime as a lot of other photographers in my area and my prices reflected that. So if you find a photographer who seems to be charging a too-good-to-be-true rate, ask them how long they've been shooting weddings professionally and make sure you take a good look at their work to see if it fits your expectations before settling.
heidithorne and Venkatachari M, thanks for reading!! Wedding photography is not for the faint of heart, as it turns out. But it really is a lot of fun and you end up meeting a lot of sweet, fun, lovable people. It's an adventure!
It's very interesting to read this. You have mentioned so many important points that may look funny and silly, but they are facts one should keep in mind.
OMG! So, so true. You are saint for working in this market. :) Voted up, useful, funny and sharing!
Oh my goodness, been there done that and you have the wedding photographers nightmare packaged into one Hub! Very funny. I loved reading this and it certainly deserves to be read more, which is why I am going to share it, tweet it G+++ Thanks for putting a smile on my face this Wednesday morning.


The Kanger SSOCC coils are the Stainless Steel version of the Kanger OCC coils, hence the abbreviation: SSOCC.
The wire used in these coils is made from Stainless Steel as opposed to the Nichrome, normally used in the OCC coils. They also differ from the OCC coils in that they are smaller and cylindrical in shape and therefore take up less space/volume in the tank they are being used in, as opposed to the cuboid-shaped OCC coils.
The SSOCC coils are compatible with the Nebox, Topbox and are being introduced across all of Kanger's products to replace the OCC coils.


I love telling stories. Weddings are full of incredibly special ones. I thoroughly enjoyed my wedding and Karen and I have great stories from that day. There is nothing like a wedding story well told. Through my camera, I hope to tell a story. In this case, your story, one to remember the rest of your lives. I would be honored to share in and lend my art to your special day.


1) group name "James", folder name "tour of Georgia"
2) no group name , folder name "fixes"
if i touch any track in the folder named "tour of Georgia" , and then press it again to see more info, locus crashes.
i copied all those 11 tracks into "fixes", and locus operates normally, without crashing.
I've renamed "tour of Georgia"to other names, but it still crashes.
I've edited the tracks in "t o g" to shorten/lengthen them, renamed them, but they will still crash locus of i try the "more info" button.
I've tried restoring old track/waypoint databases, tried older versions of locus, with exactly the same results.
what do i need to do to purge locus of this database error ?
first and most easy step: create a bug report by this method.
i sent in the bug report.
i now think it has to do with EDITED tracks. if i have any record tracks near any original tracks, and touch either of them, locus will crash. these tracks were edited with locus.
i tested once more, and it appears to be a problem with all duplicated tracks, not just edited tracks.
Kyle, thanks for bug report.
I just tried to make a copy of few tracks, but all works correctly.
I really need to simulate it. So should be possible for you to do a full backup over Locus (or manually backup Locus/data/database directory), then delete all tracks except some that cause a trouble and share with me this data/database directory? I would like to restore your data and try to achieve the same issue on my device. Or just share full backup etc. if you do not have a problem to share your data with me. Best over my personal email jiri.mlavec@asamm.com . Thanks!
i sent you a link to Google drive full backup.
thank you for taking a look !
thanks for shared database. Unfortunately no success. I tap on every possible visible track, also on some tracks in James > James tour of Georgia, also tried to create the copy of few tracks, nothing. No problem. So it seems not to be related to database, but something different.
Weird that clearly visible crash (based on your video), was not included in the log you sent before. Maybe you may try to create a log once more, maybe a minute after crash happen (to be sure, the crash will be in the log)?
Also may you please look into menu > About app > About app and write me here "User's ID" (or attach screenshot). I may try to find automatic crash based on this ID (never did before, but should work).
ok this afternoon I'll wipe out the phone and start fresh to see if it helps. this phone hadn't been wiped in over a year.
Sounds like a lot of work and I'm not sure it will help in the end :/. It will be most probably connected to some weird issue in app, rather then some issue in the device I believe.
Maybe you may try to create a bug log once more, just with a minute delay after the app crash.
3 moved "James tog" back from no group into "James" group..... at that point touching any track resulted in a crash.
outside of group named James, all works fine.
inside of ANY named group, it crashes upon touching and track and selecting "more info"
May you give a try to this test (Locus Map Free) version: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-Cki1snVVln1gxIoGv1FL7DL6DyN_xrJ ?
I've maybe found something, thanks.
nope, it's the same crash with that beta version.
i tried to duplicate on an old rugby pro (i love those old phones!) but it was fine.
if you could try it on a kyocera xd, i can only guess it's device specific problem?
Kyle, I have no good idea what to do here. I really hoped that new version helps, unfortunately, seems not.
If you have patience with me, today will be published the new version on Google Play with some smaller fixes. May you please find a while and do a bug report with this version once more? Maybe there will be something different, maybe there will be an error I previously missed ... thanks.
it's not a big deal really, i just wanted to squash a bug..... but it's looking like it's a phone or filesystem issue, not a bug. I'll keep trying, tomorrow morning.
for me it looks like quite serious problem and I wanted to solve it to prevent some possible other side-effects we are not yet aware of. Anyway, no other users complain, not a big problem for you = oki .
Maybe create a completely new group and place tracks there.
Ah, maybe next Beta once more ... you tried is so many times, that your error appeared in list of errors at the start with the highlight of the device where it happens... only on Kyocera XD . Another try with next Beta, thanks.

Q: Installing the Java JDK on Windows 10 and Cygwin without admin permissions I'm trying to install the Java JDK on Windows 10 and under the Unix-style Cygwin system. I don't have admin rights though. This limits install of both Cygwin and Java JDK.
(Existing solutions here only cover JDK without admin rights).
Update:
I've found a way to do this, described in this helpful article: Installing the Java JDK on Windows 10 without admin rights. Basically, you can install Cygwin without admin rights using "--no-admin", and then extract the JDK install executable to install manually, the JDK paths can then be setup. And Java compiler (javac) ran.

A: you can download zip file of jdk from below link:
https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp#win
After that set JAVA_HOME and PATH. It will work!!

→ Criminal Sale Of A Controlled Substance – Third Degree
Defense For Criminal Sale Of A Controlled Substance In The Third Degree
Penal Law § 220.39 Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree is a serious crime in New York and is categorized as a felony. New York has a reputation for swift prosecution and enforcement of drug crimes and New York government agencies are very aggressive in the way they investigate and prosecute individuals charged with these crimes.
If you have been charged with violating Penal Law § 220.34 Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree, call the Kushner Law Group, PLLC, now at 718-838-9341. We start building your defense right away.
New York Penal Law §220.39 Explained
When a defendant is charged with violating Penal Law § 220.39 Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree, the District Attorney's Office (DA) will attempt to prove that the defendant knowingly and unlawfully sold a controlled substance of which are:
1. any narcotic
2. a stimulant weighing 1 gram or more
3. lysergic acid diethylamide weighing 1 milligram or more
4. a hallucinogen weighing 25 milligrams or more
5. a hallucinogenic weighing 1 gram or more
6. methadone weighing 1/8 of an ounce or more
7. if you sell narcotics to someone under the age of 21
8. if you sell narcotics and you have previously been convicted of a drug offense
In addition, Penal Law § 220.39 Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree is charged to defendants who sell the above drugs to people who are under 21 years of age. A defendant can also be charged with this crime if the defendant sells a stimulant, hallucinogen, hallucinogenic substance, or lysergic acid diethylamide and was previously convicted of a drug offense.
It is also important to note that within the law, the meaning of "sell" in essence is an offer / agreement to sell even if the actual delivery of the banned narcotic did not occur. Intent is important because to be found guilty, the defendant has to have had the intent and ability to sell at the time of making the offer / agreement.
Thus, "An intent is a conscious objective or purpose. Thus, a person acts with intent to sell when that person's conscious objective or purpose is to sell." See Penal Law § 220.00(1); People v. Samuels, 99 N.Y.2d 20 (2002). Furthermore, a person unlawfully sells a banned narcotic when that individual doesn't have the legal right to sell that substance.
Possible Defenses To A NY Penal Law § 220.34 Violation
The government has many resources at its disposal to prosecute criminal drug cases, however, there are some defenses by which a defendant may challenge the government's case. The defendant can argue:
1. Lack of Probable Cause: When the police conduct a search of a person, apartment, office or car, the police are required to have probable cause to conduct the search. This means that the police must have reason to believe that the defendant committed a crime or violated a law to have probable cause. For example, a policeman sees an illegal drug sale in progress. If the methods used by the police to conduct the search violated the defendant's rights or if a condition of probable cause was not met then the evidence obtained may be excluded from the prosecution's case against the defendant.
2. Demonstrate with supporting evidence that the defendant did not actually make a sale of the drugs; that this was "not an attempted or actual sale transaction."
3. The defense can attempt to prove that the amount and or quantity of the drugs found does not meet the required minimum under the §220.39
Sentencing For NY Penal Law § 220.39 Violation
There are a number of factors a judge will take into consideration when determining what applicable sentence will be applied to a defendant. The factors are:
1. The defendant's personal background and history
2. Criminal history or lack of one
3. The details of the crimes
For instance, Penal Law § 220.39 Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree is a B felony. It is possible that a defendant:
1. Who is convicted of § 220.39 may receive a minimum of 5 years in prison if there is no prior felony convictions.
2. Who is convicted of § 220.39 may receive a minimum of 10 years in prison if he/ she has had a prior criminal conviction.
3. Who is convicted of §220.39 may have to pay a fine on top of the prison sentence of up to $30,000.

Lisa Vanderpump: LIVING LIFE WITH STYLE AND GRACE
By Alexandra Anastasio
Life isn't all diamonds and rosé, but it should be.
FOR BUSINESSWOMAN AND TV PERSONALITY LISA VANDERPUMP, THESE WORDS RING TRUE – IN FACT, THEY'RE HER TAGLINE AND THE MANTRA BY WHICH SHE LIVES. FROM THE RESTAURANTS SHE OWNS, TO THE MANY BRANDS THAT BEAR HER NAME, VANDERPUMP BRINGS A STYLE AND ELEGANCE THAT IS IMPECCABLE. "I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT EVERYTHING," SAYS THE ENGLISH BEAUTY.
While their roots are planted in Beverly Hills, Vanderpump and her husband Ken were living an extraordinary life before deciding to call the west coast home. Together with their two children, Pandora and Max, the family has lived all over Europe. They even lived in Los Angeles for a short period of time (it's where they adopted Max) before the 1994 earthquake. Vanderpump attributes the experience as the reason she headed back to England. "It scared the life out of me; I've never been so terrified," she says. I could not believe what we had just experienced."

With business still in England, the family settled back into life on an old romantic manor house situated on 100 acres of beautiful land, surrounded by animals and nature. Adventurous by nature, the family also spent time in France, London, Monte Carlo, and Monaco.
"We are impulsive," explains Vanderpump. "Ken and I have this relationship where we can do anything or go anywhere together. But I'm more of a 'gypsy' than he is."
Even after 33 years of marriage, the couple shares the sentiment that life is about experiencing new things and continuing to challenge themselves. Vanderpump recalls her mother in-law asking when they were going to settle down and have children. "I told her I don't want to stop playing, I just found someone to play with, and together this is how we looked at life" Vanderpump recalls.
"I don't want to look back on my life and see that we stayed in the same house, did the same things. I wanted every couple of years to be a new chapter in our lives."
In addition to owning many successful restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, including the well-known Shadow Lounge in London, fans of Vanderpump might be surprised to know that while living in France, she taught at the kids' school three days a week. "I absolutely loved motherhood, playing with the children, and being as naughty as them. I loved every moment."
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES
It wasn't until their daughter Pandora was preparing for college that Vanderpump and her husband began considering their next adventure. "We understood as the children became older that there were windows of opportunity where we could get up and move, but when kids go off to college and make lifelong friends, roots are firmly planted," she says.
When Pandora was accepted to Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA, the family followed, settling into a home in Beverly Park. As protective parents, they didn't want to be any further than 30 minutes away from her, so they decided to give the sunny climate a try once more.
Upon their return to the states, the couple began considering businesses in which to invest, particularly one they knew something about. A lunchtime visit to a little restaurant named SUR started it all. After a meal and a handshake, they found themselves a partnership and Vanderpump immediately got to work designing the elaborate and beautiful restaurant that today serves as the backdrop for one of her hit TV shows, "Vanderpump Rules."
From there the couple opened the ever- popular Villa Blanca Restaurant, and in 2014 they embarked on a third establishment, PUMP, located on what Vanderpump describes as the "most pivotal corner in West Hollywood."
ATMOSPHERE ABOVE ALL
When it comes to designing, Vanderpump and her husband discuss everything. She draws inspiration for the design by considering a multitude of factors, such as the area's needs and the surrounding competition. As a fan of ambiance-driven restaurants, Vanderpump admits she's not interested in a restaurant with good food but a horrible atmosphere.
"I'd rather stay home and cook," she says. "I want to feel that ambiance, see those flowers, feel that music, and eat in a comfortable setting." Needing all those boxes checked off to enjoy her dining experience, this restaurateur makes certain all of her establishments meet the same standards.
With PUMP, the challenge was a bit more intense, since the space was initially barren. Vanderpump recalls being there every day and thinking, "How can I make this work?" Her vision was to create something unique to the area, and while the planning was "a nightmare," she was determined to make it visually the most beautiful restaurant in West Hollywood.
BEGINNING OF A NEW JOURNEY
It wasn't until about five years after returning to the states that Vanderpump was approached for "Real Housewives." Initially reticent, she had never watched nor had any idea what the shows were about. Already prominent at the time in Beverly Hills, she agreed to go in for an interview but made it clear they wouldn't be hearing any conflict in her home. The kids never even heard us fight." Still, Bravo extended an offer.
Unsure at first, Vanderpump knew she had nothing to hide. "I've never said take anything out; if I screwed up, then I should learn from it." Her feelings of uncertainty have all since disappeared, she says, and she's had great fun being a part of the show.
That's not to say there haven't been stressful times, such as in season four when all the women turned on Vanderpump. "I was devastated and had never experienced anything like that," she says. Feeling low for a few months, she credits her close relationship with both Andy Cohen and Alex Baskin at Evolution Media for helping her navigate through the craziness of those tough times and stand her ground.
"While I wanted to walk away, they persuaded me to stay, and I'm glad I did," says Vanderpump. "If I had left because a few people tried to make my life miserable, then I would have never come full circle and brought it back to the enjoyment we had in season 5."
Vanderpump knows that by being a part of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," she has a responsibility to make a good show and open up her life. "What the audience is depending on is your honesty; your reality is what they want to see. Reality is more interesting than any fiction you'll ever be able to write … you're dealing with real people's emotions."
A CHILD STAR
In addition to owning the hottest restaurants in California and being recognized for the wildly popular Bravo hit shows in which she stars, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and "Vanderpump Rules," this isn't Vanderpump's first foray into television. A drama student by the age of 9, she starred in numerous TV shows and films when she was just a child. She then continued acting in small roles in shows such as "Silk Stalkings" and "Baywatch Nights," as well as a few music videos.
HER NANNY'S KINDNESSLIVES ON
Many of Vanderpump's beliefs around charity were instilled by her beloved Nanny K. She keeps photos and mementos
of her grandmother close by, as it inspires her to live a kindness-filled life. "I loved her, worshipped her, adored her," she says. "She was an eloquent, articulate woman who lived her life with style and grace. She passed away when she was 100 years old and I squeezed every last minute of good and happy times with her."
It was in January of 2013 that Vanderpump debuted another reality show on Bravo, "Vanderpump Rules" (she also serves as producer), which focuses on her restaurant and the employees at SUR. Now filming their fourth season, Vanderpump admits that on day one tensions were high and describes the kids as "a bit unpredictable" and "a little naughty."
BRANCHING OUT
Behind the scenes, this successful, multi- talented businesswoman isn't slowing down. Within the past year Vanderpump started her own line of sangria, LVP Sangria, alongside her daughter and son-in-law Jason. "It was their idea," she says. "They wanted to bring the best sangria to the market." While the couple handles the marketing and business end, Vanderpump oversees the aesthetics and the recipe, a staple cocktail that's been served in her restaurants for years. They currently feature a traditional red sangria, as well as a pink sangria – her signature color – and are working on a white. "They've done a brilliant job and are working really hard. It's all about taking risks and that's what they've done."
Vanderpump's love for designing, especially things she enjoys, has led to some wonderful new business ventures. She recently launched Vanderpump Pets, a line of pet accessories, such as the blingy collars her beloved Giggy sports. A portion of all proceeds benefits the American Humane Society.
At the end of last year, Vanderpump debuted a home collection of table and barware, bringing the "bling and glamour" she loves to the table at affordable prices. She also launched Vanderpump Estate Jewelry Collection on EVINE Live earlier this year. The exclusive pieces are elegant and glamorous, all representative of the chic taste Vanderpump exudes. "I'm having fun with it," she says. "If I could sit down and design everything, I would."
Supportive of the many charities close to her heart, Vanderpump is an advocate for not only animal charities, but for those that support the LGBT community and equal rights. She has also served as a spokesperson for GLAD.
Her belief in the fact that people should be judged on their character, not the color of their skin or sexual preference is an important life lesson she's instilled in her children. "I am an ambassador for change and I want my kids to follow suit in terms of their beliefs in being kind and tolerant."
In a town where beauty is everywhere, Vanderpump says it's not so much what's visible on the outside but the sparkle in someone's eyes, the passion for life, and the classic elegance. "It's not about perfection, it's confidence and polish, someone always ready to see the funny side. I find funny people attractive," she says.
When asked about her greatest accomplishments – without hesitation – Vanderpump answers, "my two children and my marriage." And while there are many things that are important to her, family is everything. "I am happiest when I am lying next to my husband, surrounded by pink roses and as many dogs as possible!"

Dee Lynn Jones says:
Lisa is one of my very favorite people. In such a harsh world we live in today she is a bright spot I just adore. The love she gives to the animals is so touching and her goodness shines through her. It is always such good TV when she is on. The girls should really take a few notes from Lisa's page. True, loyal, loving people really do have your back when you pay attention. It is the others who make it seem as though this is not the case. People love to stir the pot, but if you pay close attention you can see who are the ones to attach yourself to. Lisa & Ken are just complete living testaments to human kindness as well as the furry little creatures they help all the time. Such a class act this lady is. No wonder Ken is so proud to be married to her. I love seeing their sweet relationship. I grew up in a tortured life, with no love & nothing but violence. I even wrote a book about it. I have grown leaps & bounds since then & God restored my heart long ago. But seeing people like this keep me in a good place. Thank you Lisa. I think the world of you for all you do… Dee Lynn.

"We Have Identified Five Conflicts That Continue To Be Challenges For The Country." – UNMISS
NCMP January 16, 2023
NCMP – Nicholas Haysom, the director of the UN mission in South Sudan, said during a news conference in Juba on Friday that they had identified five conflicts that remained issues for the nation.
These villages continue to assault one other, causing extensive damage and taking the lives of inundated citizens. In his remarks, he referenced the Jonglei and larger Pibor administrative areas, the upper Nile, and the conflict's aftermath in Tambura, western Equatoria, and Warrap state.
Nicholas identified the source of violence between the Twik and Ngok Dinka and the current fight in Central Equatoria as friction between the Bor livestock ranchers and host populations.
"We have identified five conflicts or hotspots that require our ongoing and continuous attention and that continue to pose challenges for the country: the Jonglei and the greater Pibor administrative area; the upper Nile; the legacy of the conflict in Tambura in western Equatoria; the conflict in Warrap state between the Twic and Ngok Dinka; and the conflict now being experienced in central Equatoria as a result of tension between Bor cattle keepers and host communities, amo."
He also stated that they have taken action and are continuing to do so to lessen disputes and their consequences, vowing to divulge the measures they have made about their activities in solely Jonglei state.
" We have taken action and continue to minimize and lessen the impact of all these disputes and their long-term implications. "We will disclose the procedures by solely referring to our activities in Jonglei," he said. He also spoke about their plans to construct an administrative base in the Pibor administrative district to safeguard citizens harmed by previous hostilities.
Peter Biar questioned the gov't over the alleged Auctioning of Children In South Sudan.

If you have missing teeth and want an affordable way to replace them, you may be a good candidate for a dental bridge. Dental bridges are fixed porcelain pieces that are permanently joined in a row and can either be supported by natural teeth with crowns or by implant-supported crowns, which is similar to a single-tooth dental implant. Dental bridges look and feel like your natural teeth.
How we build your bridge depends on how many missing teeth you have and want to replace. It also depends on the location of the missing teeth, as well as the size and length of the roots, and the amount of bone support each anchor needs.
To learn more about your tooth replacement options, and get started on restoring your smile today, call (972) 512-8521, or complete our online form.

Q: Attaching Visual Studio debugger to Windows service -- "attach" greyed out I am trying to attach to a windows service using Visual Studio 2010 → Debug → Attach to process command. When I scroll through the list of processes my Windows service is greyed out and the attach button is also greyed out.
I have tried changing the service account to local service, my account, etc., but it remains greyed out. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?

A: Not only did I have to select show processes from all users and the show processes in all sessions check boxes; I also had to click the Select button and then choose the Managed code.

A: I usually have the same issue and I take care of it by adding a boolean to my configuration that triggers a debug launch. You can launch a Visual Studio debugger instance that attaches to your Windows service process by calling this:
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();

What's nice is that you can call it wherever you wish in your code.

A: In Visual Studio 2010, on the 'Attach to Process' dialog, check the two check boxes at the bottom that say 'Show processes from all users' and 'Show processes in all sessions'.
On doing that I found that I had my process show up twice, one running as System and one running under my local Windows login. I am not sure why (any input on this would be great!), but I was able to attach to the not-grayed-out one that showed up and was also able to step through my code this way.
The second one was the servicename.vshost.exe process as Ozz pointed out in the comments.
If you still do not see it, make sure your service is still running. Sometimes you might have a failing service that started and automatically stopped and therefore doesn't show up in the attach to options.

A: Make sure you run Visual Studio as an administrator. It will require administrator rights to attach to a running service.

A: After installing the Windows service, start it. Then in Visual Studio open the Attach to process window (Alt + Ctrl + P), find your process and select it and click Attach Button in the bottom of the window.

A: You may not have permissions to attach to the service.  Do you have admin privileges on the desktop?  Many corporations do not allow this by default, supposedly to assist in securing their environment.

A: I solved my problem by changing the way the setup was generated, from RELEASE to DEBUG. And then, I installed the service and attached as usual.

A: Use menu Tools → Attach to Process. Simply check Show Processes from all users at the bottom left. Sort by Process and try looking for your Windows service.

A: I ran into the same issue today with none of the previous solutions working. As it turns out, it is not possible to attach to a process if you have a ProcDump session monitoring that process.
