A collection of reviews and testimonials left by past clients for our wedding photography! You will find these and many more posted publicly on The Knot, Wedding Wire, and other websites but here are some of our favorites all in one place.
I am completely overwhelmed with tears of JOY in my eyes, and I'm only at the ceremony!!! Jeff isn't home yet, but I cannot wait to share. Still have lots to go through, and I'm already COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. I wish you were here right now so I could hug you.
I feel like I have started to write this review five times but cannot figure out where to begin– I had spent hours and hours researching photographers, and we are SO grateful we found William. We would not change anything. Working with William and his assistant that day was so easy and wonderful. I was a bit anxious about the fact we hadn't met in person prior to the day, though we had a few video calls, but when we met, I felt like I had met him. He is so easy to work with, so polite, so detail-oriented. The two arrived early, were utmost professionals, and everyone in the wedding party loved them. Even the detail of him clasping my shoes before taking a photo of them (this being before I had them on my feet of course), so they looked more put together, stood out to me. William is perceptive and went with the flow of the day so well. We got married in a Catholic church, and we never had to worry about where they were during the ceremony. Having them both, they were able to capture bride and groom at the same time, as well as the congregation. During the reception, they did such a great job of capturing not only the two of us, but everyone on the dance floor, as well as laughter and smiles at the tables. The photos came back to us in under three weeks– we couldn't believe it, especially during September, a very busy wedding month. The results blew us away. Tears in our eyes as we relived the happy day and were overwhelmed with joy at the photos. Just incredible how he captured moments, reactions, the light–in both daytime and nighttime as well as in a dark church– I could go on and on!
William, these are stunning!! They (again) exceeded our expectations!! You managed to capture every moment of our day!!
Thank you so, so, so much for photographing our wedding! We so enjoyed working with you and would recommend you in a heartbeat! Thank you for working with the rain and our insane family and friends. You truly captured timeless photos that we will treasure forever.
Enjoy the holiday season & have a Happy New Year!
THESE PICTURES ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AND AMAZING!
I cannot thank you enough for all the time you spent taking pictures of us at every moment of the day. I really hope you had fun doing it! Everyone I've shown the pictures to keep telling me how amazing the photos are! I even had a friend ask for your information because she was so impressed and loved the pictures you took. Thank you thank you thank you!
William is just incredible. I was really nervous about the whole photography thing at my wedding—my husband and I are awkward people who take VERY awkward photos. William was patient with us and listened carefully to what we were looking for from our photos and holy hell, did he deliver. When we got our pictures back, we were thrilled to see how natural we looked. We were also over the moon with all of the candid shots he got of our ceremony and reception. He always seemed to know where the action was and captured so many of the moments that we missed. There's one picture in particular of my mom trying to sneak a taste of the wedding cake that makes me laugh every time I see it. Beyond his technical expertise, William is also an amazingly nice dude who is an absolute pleasure to have around on a very stressful and busy day. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
The photographs: The photographs that we received from William are absolutely perfect. They are better than anything we could have ever imagined. We have received so many compliments about the pictures already and everyone is just obsessed with William and Andrew. The pictures of us in the rain are just stunning. The way that William took the photos made the white umbrella glow super bright with the rain drops all light up around us. It just amazing and super unique stuff. The pictures of all of our friends and family on the dance floor are also really awesome. I bring this up because prior to our wedding we were a bit worried about having tons of pictures of our friends drunk at the bar and dancing. If that was the case we wouldn't be able to post them on social media based on people's jobs and what not. However, the pictures that William took of the dance floor are really awesome and fun, yet classy. It showed everyone having a blast, but while being tasteful. We appreciated that and I'm sure our friends and family do to!
Not only were the photos awesome, but it only took 3 weeks for William to get these amazing pictures back to us. He even sent us a preview photo of us in the rain before we left for our honeymoon. That was awesome of him and allowed us to show off our unique and stunning rain pictures to everyone in Mexico.
Conclusions: In conclusion, we really couldn't give someone a higher recommendation than William. If you are in New Jersey and need a professional, talented, and caring photographer, who is also quite affordable, you'd be crazy to not book William. We will forever remember our wedding through the lens of William's camera and we couldn't be happier.
William was amazing to work with! I can't say enough good things about him and he was truly one of the best decisions I made regarding my wedding. He made posing for pictures extremely easy for two very awkward people. Even with direction from him, none of the pictures looked staged or unnatural. He was there to capture every moment, but he was never intrusive. Best of all, the pictures were all stunning! There's so many that I love, that it will be hard to choose my favorites for an album. Don't hesitate in booking him; you won't regret it!
We loved his laid-back approach to pictures. Nothing was forced, and we didn't feel as though a ton of our time was being used on the pictures. Throughout the night, I feel like I hardly saw William, but he somehow captured every special moment of our day. And the pictures are so incredible – they are edited to really enhance the photos without looking like they are completely redone.
The best investment of my wedding day!! William Hendra provided the most amazing photography of my wedding. He arrived early and stayed late. He was professional and made EXCELLENT use of the time. I had a morning wedding and we were always crunched for time. William made every second count, I have a TON of gorgeous photos. He is worth EVERY penny spent. Everyday I look at our photos and I get excited all over again. His journalistic style is complimented by everyone who sees my photo album. His style is unique and makes you feel like you are center stage at the wedding each time you look at the photos. They look so natural yet so vivid. AMAZING.
A HUGE thank you to William for the amazing pictures from our wedding in Asbury Park! He was so helpful with everything from figuring out a timeline for the day of and making sure we got all the pictures we could want- even a ton that we love and would have never thought to ask for! He was very detail oriented, and while we were not focused on what pictures we may want on our wedding day he stepped in with suggestions and ideas- without William I would have totally forgotten to get individual pictures with my bridesmaids!
He was also very accommodating the whole day, following our relaxed feel but also helping us stay mindful of the time and schedule we had set up with him. We were so impressed with how quickly we got the pictures back- which was a great surprise.
Williams pricing is very reasonable and he delivered a great product that we couldn't be happier with- Thank you William!
Where do we start with William? Our big day took place in small town Allentown, NJ and from the beginning, William was so easy to work with. From his communication, professionalism, flexibility, and creativity, William was on point every single part of the day. He and his co-photographer did an amazing job capturing our day from the beginning until the end (we didn't want it to end!). My husband and I, along with family and friends, were extremely impressed with the pictures and how they turned out! I would highly recommend William for one of the most important and special days of your life!


Writing essays can be difficult enough without the stress of trying to figure out what you're going to be writing about. When your teacher or professor doesn't assign you a topic, or give you a predetermined list to choose from, you can find yourself spending more time trying to decide what you'll write about than actually writing it. While coming up with creative essay questions can be a challenging task (depending on what kind of essay you're writing), often times, the sky's the limit. Here is a list of some good, interesting essay questions you may want to use in the future.
How do you feel your childhood has effected who you are now that you're an adult?
Should animal testing in scientific research be allowed? Why or why not?
What has having a child taught you about responsibility?
Have you ever been in a failed relationship (or marriage)? Knowing what you do now, what could have been done differently to possibly save it?
There has been a long-standing debate that violent video games negatively influence the children of today. Do you feel that this is true? If so, what do you think should be done to fix this?
Have you ever met a complete stranger that had a profound impact on your life? If so, what happened and how has that event changed you into the person you are today?
If you could create your own society, how would you build it? How would you combat racism, sexism, and religious discrimination (if you would at all)? How would you determine who is allowed to live in this society and who isn't?
Do you feel that some jobs are paid far more than they deserve? If you were in charge of determining how each job would be paid, which would be your highest, middle, and lowest?
Zombies, by definition, are already dead. While they may be the reanimated bodies of the deceased (people's loved ones), they biologically aren't alive. Should you feel guilty about killing them? If so, why?
It seems almost too easy to become a star overnight in this day and age. With all of these easy ways to make money and be successful, does having a full education (a college degree at the least) still matter? Why or why not?


June 11th marks the first E3 show for Nintendo that doesn't come from the stage of an LA theatre. Instead, at 7am PST / 3pm BST / 11pm Japan time, a new Nintendo Direct will be livestreamed to the world and while there may not be fireworks (or attempted fireworks), there will also be no charts, no PR waffle, just games.
Think you know what Nintendo has in store for the Wii U's most important holiday season? Will the 3DS continue to have 'So Many Games'? Will there be megatons?
Here are four sets of statements. Simply pick whichever ones you think will come true. (choose as many as you like eg. A01, A03, A13, B02, B03, C5... etc.).
But choose wisely! These predictions are increasingly valuable and increasingly unlikely. Correct picks win you points, incorrect picks lose you points. Will you manage to score more than zero this year? Last year's winner was Smerd with a perhaps unassailable 14 points.
Please post your predictions by the end of June 10th.
We will gray out any statements that are officially confirmed in advance of the main ND and you won't be able to pick them after that, so it might help to get your guesses in early!
For the purposes of this challenge, all information that comes out during the course of E3 will be taken into account. That includes the Japan, NOA and NOE directs, press meetings, interviews, online news, and additional Nintendo Directs.
05) NFC collectibles confirmed for Smash Bros.
Will these neglected franchises have a new game announced for them? You can pick up to three, but everything you pick MUST be announced.
Choose from: Metroid, Star Tropics, Star Fox, Waverace, 1080 Snowboarding, Wario Platformer, Donkey Kong Country, Chibi Robo, Trauma Center, Pokemon Snap, Kirby, F-Zero, Rune Factory, Endless Ocean, Excite, Fatal Frame, Punch-Out!!, No More Heroes.
None, sorry. Megaton free zone. There will be plenty of Daisycutters though.
Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Mr M.
That's all for me this year. I'm tempted to do a bonus prediction, but I don't think I can take a -50 hit if I guess wrong, and I've been pretty good about ending up in the positive score range for the past two or three years.
We lose points if we do a bonus prediction and get it wrong, correct?
I think Non-Specific Action Figure's improbable return is going to be a "bananas at the superbowl" moment. Gah, I can't risk it.
Yes, it's a big risk. Even bigger if you parlay and pick two or three.
I always do terrible in these things because I'm way too optimistic. Let's see what I got.
I'm on my Wii U browser so forgive me for only providing the letter and number of my picks.
I love the banner, by the way. Did you make that, Infinitywave?
Here goes! Hope I get over 0 points!

Goldendale man rescues Seattle police captain from burning truck
Q13 Fox News Seattle
WANT A JOB?: Captain Dave Emerick, left, thanks DJ Campbell of Goldendale for his heroic actions on a Q13 Fox News broadcast last week, then offered him a job with the Seattle Police on the air.
One of Goldendale's finest made such a dramatic impression recently, he got offered a job on TV.
On June 12, DJ Campbell was on his way home from his studies at Divers Institute of Technology in Seattle.
"I was headed home for Father's Day to take my father, Bill Campbell, golfing, and to go to the Glenwood Rodeo with my mother, Renea Campbell," he recalls.
He was headed over Snoqualmie Pass and just about to Cle Elum when he suddenly saw something a driver would really rather never see.
"I looked in my rearview mirror and I noticed that the whole belly of the truck behind me was on fire," Campbell says. "So I turned on my flashers and I started swerving back and forth, to try to get them to slow down. I finally got them to pull over."
Campbell hopped out of his vehicle and started calling 9-1-1, and he saw that the truck on fire was still rolling-the driver, Captain Dave Emerick of the Seattle Police Department, had lost his brakes and was trying to slow down the truck with his emergency brake. Within minutes, the truck was on the side of the road, and Emerick and his wife Sally crawled out through the window.
But the truck continued to roll, this time back into traffic. Campbell took action. "I jumped in the pick-up and turned the wheel to get it out of the road," he says. "I got out of the pick-up and saw it was still on fire, then went back in to try to find a fire extinguisher. I finally found it; it was a small thing, and I started spraying it, but it wasn't doing any good. A gentleman brought over a larger fire extinguisher, so I started spraying. Then Dave Emerick, the captain, told me to get out there-'It's insured.'"
Then the fire extinguisher died, and there was little left that could be done. And suddenly Campbell realized he was missing his cell phone.
"I realized I'd dropped my phone in the pick-up," he says. "By that time the whole thing was engulfed in flames and ended up blowing up."
The fuel tank explosion was enormous, sending debris, glass, tires scattering everywhere. But no one was hurt.
The Emericks' truck was engulfed in flames.
Days later, standing before the cameras of Fox 13 News, Emerick gave Campbell a check for $1,000 to replace his cell phone-and if there were a little left over to take his parents out as congratulations for raising such an exceptional son. Emerick also recruited Campbell on screen to join the Seattle Police. "You're just the kind of person we're looking for," Emerick told Campbell.
"I did get a new cell phone," Campbell says.
What sparked him into action? "I just kind of reacted out of an emergency situation-keep a level head," he states. Also prompting him was his training in the U.S. Navy. "As soon as I got down to the pick-up, my military training came into play, the risk-reward training. That came in handy at that point."
And will Campbell make his way into the Seattle Police Department? "It's one of my options," he considers. "I was actually considering going down to the Gulf and working on oil rigs. Options are open."
And in the meantime, Campbell says he and Emerick will probably go golfing sometime this week.

This week I'm writing about something with which I have become very familiar: the ketogenic diet.
If you're like, "Huh?" you are where I was three months ago, before my husband, Phil, embarked on the weight-loss regimen. The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carb eating plan in which the goal is to get your body into a state of ketosis, when it begins to burn fat because it doesn't have carbohydrates to burn.
It can be tricky to stick to the diet properly. But if, like my husband, you do, the results can be dramatic: He has lost 30 pounds since he began and feels great.
When someone in your household is on a diet that limits certain foods you both used to love, things can get interesting. I have had to get creative in the kitchen if I'm making something for my husband to enjoy, too. That mostly involves leaving sugary sauces off sauteed meats or preparing a beef and broccoli dish with extra beef and no rice. A benefit of all this has been that, since I've had to consider low- or no-carb cooking, I've realized it's less limiting than this bread zealot once thought.
• It can be pricey. Eating at restaurants is interesting. My husband's go-to is ordering two entrees, especially if they're of the sandwich or taco variety, and just eating the meat/cheese/veggie filling. A lot of meals are puffed up with excess breads, chips, etc.
• Carbs aren't just in bread. You've got to watch out for sugar in things like salad dressing, sauces and condiments. Also, fruit.
• Happy hour is a challenge. Beer, which is basically bread in a glass, is a big no-no on the keto diet. Clear alcohols are the most desirable for keto-ers, which means my husband will go for gin or vodka. But be wary of those sugar-laden mixers, like tonic.
• Cooking is crucial. Cooking is one of the easiest ways to make sure you're eating the right stuff. Phil has been cooking a lot more while on the keto diet, and it has forced him (and me) to think about the actual components of each meal.
Here, I talk to Phil about the world of keto, and how he's stuck with it.
Below are recipes that Phil or I have come up with during these keto times. Heavy on the meat, they make for hearty dinners. Try a salad with lots of cheese and nuts for lunch to balance it all out.
Heat oven to 250 degrees. Place ground turkey in an 8- by 8-inch or 9- by 13-inch oven-safe pan. Press down lightly so turkey fills out baking vessel.
Bake for about 20 minutes. You're trying to dry it out a bit but not cook it completely. Cook longer if still not very dry, but don't overcook.
Remove from oven, add to a large bowl or stand mixer and let cool. Crank oven up to 450 degrees when turkey is cooler.
Add Parmesan and 1 egg to bowl, plus salt and pepper to preference, and mix well. If turkey mixture looks crumbly, add other egg.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop turkey mixture onto sheet. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin or heavy cup or glass to roll turkey out into a thin, pizzalike crust.
Place back in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare your toppings. Cut avocado lengthwise, then remove the green flesh and place in a small bowl with olive oil. Stir well. Set aside.
Place garlic cloves in a bowl and microwave for 10 seconds. Peel cloves and set aside.
Remove crust from oven. Press garlic cloves onto the crust, spreading as much as you can. Spread avocado on top of that, then top with crushed tomatoes or salsa, mozzarella and toppings of your choice. Bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let sit for a few minutes before eating.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and coat with olive oil. Combine all meatball ingredients except sriracha in a large bowl and mix well with your hands or a large spoon. Form mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball and place in skillet.
Cook for about 5 minutes over medium-high heat, then flip meatballs over. Cover skillet with aluminum foil and slide into oven. Cook for 10 minutes.
Make the broccoli slaw: Cut broccoli florets off the stem and reserve for another purpose. Using a box grater, shred the broccoli stems. Place in a medium bowl, then add green onions, shallot, ½ avocado, mayo, oil, vinegar and salt and pepper. Stir well.
Remove meatballs from oven. Mix sriracha with 2 tablespoons water, then brush the mixture over the warm meatballs. Serve immediately with slaw and remaining avocado sliced on the side. Top with green onion and parsley.
Set oven to broil. Broil poblano pepper on both sides until skin can easily be peeled off. Peel, then chop up and set aside. Set oven to bake at 350 degrees.
Combine next five ingredients in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Add mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl. Add poblano pepper, beef, pork, sausage, egg, spinach, Gorgonzola and heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper. Mix for 3 minutes on medium-low setting. Scrape edges of bowl and mix for another minute.
Line a loaf pan with strips of bacon until pan is covered; reserve a couple of strips for the top of the loaf. Fill loaf pan with meat mixture; meat may come over the top, but that's okay because it will shrink in the oven. Line top of loaf with remaining bacon strips.
Loosely cover loaf with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Place in preheated oven. Fill baking sheet two-thirds with water. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil. Add more water to sheet. Bake for 45 more minutes. Loaf is done when internal temperature is 165 degrees in the center. Let set for 10 minutes, then cut into servings.

Pakistan, Switzerland sign revised Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation
Pakistan and Switzerland signed on Tuesday the revised Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation with respect to taxes on income. The agreement was signed by the Ambassador of Switzerland, Marc George and Chairman, Federal Board of Revenue, Dr Muhammad Irshad.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Revenue Haroon Akhtar Khan and other officials from the Embassy of Switzerland, Ministry of Finance and Federal Board of Revenue.
After signing, both the States will undertake internal procedures for ratification of the agreement. After the exchange of instruments of ratifications, the agreement will come into force in Pakistan on first July of the next calendar year.
The revised Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement between Pakistan and Switzerland will open new vistas for cooperation, especially in the areas of exchange of information for tax purposes.
It contains improvements with regards to the taxation of service fees and capital gains resulting from the sale of qualifying participants. These rules promote economic exchange in bilateral relations. The agreement also contains an arbitration clause, which should guarantee the avoidance of double taxation.
One of the highlights of the renegotiated treaty is the replacement of the Article on "Exchange of Information" with the new one, reflecting the internationally accepted standard which is based on the OECD Model.
The new Article on Exchange of Information will considerably expand the existing scope of information to be obtained on a request basis for the enforcement of domestic tax laws.
It will also provide access to bank information for tax purposes and such information shall not be refused solely because the information is held by a bank or other financial institution.
For this purpose, the requesting State will be providing information to the requested State such as the identity of the person under investigation and period of time for which the information is requested.
The existing Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement between Pakistan and Switzerland was signed in 2005 and enforced in 2008. However, subsequent to the federal cabinet approval in August 2013, Pakistan had approached Switzerland for incorporating the updated version of the Article on Exchange of Information based on the OECD Model.
In August 2014, a Pakistani delegation visited Switzerland for renegotiation of Pak-Swiss Treaty and initialled the draft agreement between the two countries.
However, in order to safeguard national interests and to bring certain provisions of the initialled agreement in line with Pakistan's tax policy, Switzerland was requested for a second round of negotiations, which was finally agreed in May 2016 and held in Berne, Switzerland in June 2016. The negotiations were held in a very cordial and friendly atmosphere and all the issues were amicably resolved.
It may be recalled that the Swiss government had invited the finance minister to sign the agreement with the Head of the Federal Department of Finance (FDF) of Switzerland, and had proposed the signing to be held on 21st March 2017 in Berne.
However, owing to unforeseen commitments of the Head of FDF, the Swiss government informed the Government of Pakistan that it can no longer proceed with the signing in Berne on 21st March 2017.
In the interest of avoiding any delay in the signing of the agreement, the Government of Pakistan proposed that the signing may be held in Islamabad on 21st March 2017.
The Swiss government acceded to this proposal and authorised the Ambassador in Islamabad to sign the agreement, while the Prime Minister of Pakistan issued the instrument of full powers for the Chairman FBR to sign the agreement.
The Swiss government has also proposed a meeting between the finance minister of Pakistan and the Head of FDF of Switzerland on the side-lines of the upcoming Spring meetings of the World Bank Group and the IMF on 21 – 23 April 2017. The Government of Pakistan has agreed to the proposed meeting.

TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project
While welfare agencies and the federal disability system have common goals of supporting people with disabilities and helping them become more independent, the two systems often have diverging interests as well. Differing missions, programmatic and financial challenges, definitions of disability, and rules and incentives related to work make it challenging for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs to work together. Moreover, TANF recipients who apply for SSI confront conflicting messages regarding work requirements and benefit eligibility that can undermine efforts to meet their needs, as well as their ability to work and become more independent.
In order to address these problems, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services contracted with MDRC to assist ACF and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to manage the TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project (TSDTP). TSDTP sought to better understand the relationship between the TANF and SSI systems with regard to TANF applicants and recipients who might have a disability. By working closely with both federal agencies and participating state TANF agencies, the project analyzed program data and developed and implemented pilot tests of program interventions targeted to this population. Families, states, TANF agencies, and SSA can all benefit when this population receives appropriate services efficiently — moving toward employment when possible, making informed decisions about applying to SSI, and receiving SSI as quickly as possible when they are eligible, while agencies reduce administrative costs. These were the goals of TSDTP.

The TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project
Innovative Strategies for Serving TANF Recipients with Disabilities
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may serve low-income individuals with disabilities. Yet the two programs' differences in approach and structure pose challenges to coordinating services. This report describes the implementation and findings of three promising pilot interventions intended to address that problem.
Overview »
Connections Between TANF and SSI
Lessons from the TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may serve low-income individuals with disabilities. To understand how best to help TANF recipients with disabilities, the parent agencies of TANF and SSI contracted with MDRC and its partners to conduct the TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project. This brief summarizes the project's findings.
Understanding Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
A Guide for TANF Staff Members
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may serve low-income individuals with disabilities. This brief compares the SSI disability determination process with TANF procedures, discusses how some TANF agencies gauge who is likely to qualify for SSI, and reviews the employment support programs of both.
Agenda, Scope,
 & Goals
Agenda, Scope, and Goals
TSDTP consisted of two phases. In the first phase, TANF and SSI data were merged and analyzed to document the extent to which TANF applicants and recipients were connected with the SSI system and how they contributed to the overall dynamics of caseload changes in SSI. To complement this analysis, the MDRC team conducted field assessments of the TANF/SSI links in a number of participating states to better understand how TANF agencies worked with participants who had been identified as having a work limitation due to a disability. For example, the team assessed how agencies determined such participants' ability to work and limitations on work, their potential eligibility for SSI, and whether and how they were involved in employment-related activities. The field assessments also examined the interactions between TANF agencies and local SSA offices. Technical assistance was provided, as necessary, to help develop programs or enhance services targeted to this population and to strengthen the connections between TANF and SSI programs and services.
The second phase of the project used the knowledge developed during the first phase to help develop three pilot programs that served TANF participants with disabilities. Given the complexity of the TANF and SSI systems and their intersection, the TSDTP pilot programs varied by state depending on a variety of factors, including the rules and structure of the TANF programs involved, the disabilities and other characteristics of the state or local target populations, the employment services and other support available, and the conditions in the local labor markets. MDRC provided continuing advice and technical assistance to ensure the implementation of strong program models. In addition, the feasibility of a rigorous experimental evaluation of the pilot models was considered. At the end of the project, the pilot programs were assessed in a final report.
Design, Sites, &
 Data Sources
Design, Sites, and Data Sources
The primary intent of the project was to develop knowledge. This was done through an analysis of linked TANF/SSI data provided by SSA, and by pilot testing program models. Qualitative interviews, field observations, and analyses of local data also informed the findings.

What Do We Know About the Intersection of Welfare and Disability Programs?
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Supplemental Security Income serve low-income individuals with disabilities. Yet the programs' differences in approach and structure pose challenges to coordinating services. The Administration for Children and Families and the Social Security Administration contracted with MDRC and its partners to conduct the TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project. Five publications from the project have just been released.
Assessing and Serving TANF Recipients with Disabilities
A sizable portion of the adult TANF population has disabilities, but identifying the needs of clients with disabilities and offering them appropriate services can prove difficult. This brief describes assessment strategies used by local TANF agencies and organizations, discusses their strengths and weaknesses, and offers points to consider in choosing methods.

"Sisterhood" intimately documents the natural bonds of sisters
Dutch-Canadian photographer Maxime Cardol has been working on her series "Sisterhood" for over a year now. For the series, she intimately documents diverse sets of sisters, exploring the natural bonds.
It all started a year ago when she met Alice and Lucy. Immediately Maxime felt this indescribable connection they shared. After these portraits, which she shot on film, her desire for more stories grew, as did her fascination with sisterhood, not having one herself.
Within this series, she wanted to tell their intimate stories. Growing up together, sharing childhood memories and going through the same phases is the base of a solid relationship. Over time, her series has flourished into a story that recognizes and portrays the meaning of sisterhood.
"Whenever I'm around them, I feel relaxed, which makes me feel like I am a part of their bond."
Maxime's style can be best described as authentic and naturalistic. Though, she is most intrigued by women; the way they move, laugh, talk. Her strength is methodically connecting with each individual she photographs, making them feel at ease. It's this sense of trust and assurance, which also allows her models to shine, naturally.
The series "Sisterhood" will be part of the exhibition "The Intersection" at Wieden + Kennedy, which will launch on 5th March. In collaboration with The Titty Mag it will brings together female-identifying artists, who living in The Netherlands, to celebrate International Women's Day. In partnership with her agency Czar, she'll continue this series and uncover more stories in the future to come.

Richard Watts (1529–1579) was a successful businessman and MP for Rochester, South East England, in the 1570s. He supplied rations for the English Navy as deputy victualler and supervised the construction of Upnor Castle. After Queen Elizabeth I pronounced his house was  (Latin for 'enough') after a visit in 1573, the house was thereafter known as Satis House.  Famed locally for his philanthropy, he died on 10 September 1579, leaving money in his will to establish the Richard Watts Charity and Six Poor Travellers House in Rochester High Street.  He is buried, in accordance with his will, in Rochester Cathedral.

Biography

The precise date and place of Richard's birth is uncertain. A Richard Watts born in West Peckham in 1529 is believed to be Richard Watts of Rochester. However, there is evidence of an older Richard Watts living on Boley Hill, at a date during the supposed childhood of the Richard Watts born in West Peckham. Little is known of the early life of Richard Watts. He may have spent his youth in Rochester gaining employment with Bishop (later Saint) John Fisher.  Following the arrest and execution of Fisher, Watts returned to Rochester in a state of poverty.

By 1550, Richard Watts was established as a merchant.  Payments were made to him for victualling the army and navy in 1550 and 1551.  In either 1552 (Lane & Singh) or 1554 (Hinkley) he was appointed deputy victualler of the navy. The earlier date fits in with the grant of a coat of arms in 1553. In 1559, he was reappointed to the post. Subsequently, Queen Elizabeth I appointed him as paymaster and surveyor of works when building of Upnor Castle started in 1560.  A further royal appointment, that of surveyor of ordnance, followed in 1562. In 1560, as well as his appointment to the castle, he became paymaster to the Wardens of Rochester Bridge. In 1563, he was elected as MP for Rochester which seat he held until 1571.

Richard died on 10 September 1579 at home.  His will starts with "First I bequeath my  unto the Holy Trinity as is aforesaid and my Body to be buried in The  Church of Rochester aforesaid  unto the Steeple and  going up into the Quire on the South side of the same ".  His will goes on to describe a procession from his house to the cathedral complete with curate and the "singing children" from the cathedral all "in their Surplices".  After a service and sermon, he was to be buried.  Various disbursements are made to those taking part, including to the sextons for digging the grave and ringing his knell "with all the bells".  Even the congregation was remembered for unto every " Body" attending the burial he left "One  in bread and One penny in money". He earmarked five pounds for this so was assuming an attendance of some 600 poor mourners.

His grave, with coat of arms and simple inscription, is close to the south side of the pulpitum steps, just where he wanted it.  In 1730, just over 150 years after his death, the city council resolved to erect a monument to his memory.  A Mr. Charles Easton was tasked with the same for a sum of £50 ().  The memorial in the south transept of the cathedral incorporates the bust mentioned above.  The bust appears to have been given by Josiah Brooke the current owner of Satis house, for below the bust and above the inscription a bold statement testifies: "".

The will

Watts' instructions for his funeral take up the first quarter of his will.  The next part of the will leaves money and income to his wife and details what should happen if she remarried, which she in due course did.  A few other family bequests follow, then the main charitable section starts.  The old almshouse beside the market cross was to be extended and refurbished with provision for casual travellers.  There was provision for raw materials to be given to the poor to enable them to earn a living.  Later the Mayor, principal citizens and commonalty of Rochester are enjoined to "preserve and maintain the " so that the " and  thereof  shall  to the uses and purposes aforesaid ... principally to the  and comfort of the said ".  He laid upon his heirs the duty to supervise the Mayor and appointed the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Rochester as having the final say in any disposals.

The will was proved on 25 September 1579 "in common form" and before witnesses on 25 November the following year.  City accounts for 1579 show that this was not without cost: a gallon of wine to the Bishop's chancellor for the proving (2s), a trip to London (13s 4d), a copy of the will (5s) and others " the probate" (20s 10d).  £2-1-2 in those days is .

The will was not without its problems.  Some of the properties disposed of were jointly owned with his wife, who therefore became the sole owner on his death.  Some of the lands he had bequeathed had reverted (either on death or previously) to former owners, including a set of tenements which the Bishop took back.  Marian did remarry and according to the will should have lost the house.  However she and her new husband, a lawyer named Thomas Pagitt, wished to keep the house.

In 1593, a document was drawn up between the four parties interested in the will: Thomas & Marian, Mayor and citizens, Dean and Chapter, and the Bridge Wardens.  The document was called the "Indenture Quadripartite".  In brief (the indenture is over 14 pages long when set in modern print) Marian was allowed to keep the house in return for giving up all other claims and returning the 100 marks left to her in the original will.  The bulk of the document establishes the form and government of the charity which now bears Richard Watts' name.

Richard Watts Charities

Richard Watts' will when proved in 1579 provided for an almshouse in Rochester High Street. now known as the Six Poor Travellers House, to be expanded and maintained. The "Indenture Quadripartite" of 1593 established the form and government of Richard Watts Charity which over time built other almshouses and expanded to incorporate several local charities, such as St Catherine's Hospital founded under the charity of Symond Potyn in 1315. Richard Watts Charities, as of 2013, provides 66 self-contained flats in Rochester which includes almshouses in Maidstone Road built in 1857.

1853 onwards
The Charitable Trusts Act of 1853 brought a large number of independent trusts and charities under the supervision of the newly created Charity Commissioners.  Watts' Charity was no exception.  A new scheme was devised for the running of the charity.  The charity was run by Municipal Trustees who appointed a Clerk and Receiver.  They also appointed a Master and Matron to manage the poor travellers house.  £4,000 was used to build a new set of almshouses for 20 people in Maidstone Road.  £100 was set aside to provide an apprenticeship premium for children who had distinguished themselves at school.  £2,000 was spent on the building of the Watts Public Baths with £200 per annum for maintenance.  In 1935, they passed into the hands of the Corporation of Rochester though the annual grant towards costs continued for a further 20 years.

£4,000 was granted to the Trustees of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, Rochester to enable them to build a "Hospital and Dispensary for the relief of the Sick poor".  The charity was also to pay £1,000 (later raised to £1,500) per annum to the hospital and gained the right to nominate as patients up to 20 people at any one time.  These donations were maintained until 1948 until the hospital came under the control of the National Health Service.

In 1886, there was a further scheme extending the work of the charity.  11 outpensions of 7/- (35p) per week were established and two exhibitions of £100 made available annually, one each to Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School and Rochester Grammar School for Girls.  There were five exhibitions for pupil teachers, each of £6/5/0 annually for three years. The Watts Nursing Service was established with two full-time nurses (one midwife, one district) and six  occasional nurses.

The 1934 supplementary scheme increased certain payments and handed the baths over to the council.

Post war
The 1942 Beveridge Report led to the establishment of the modern British Welfare State.  The previous, limited, National Insurance Act 1911 was extended to most workers by the National Insurance Act 1946.  The National Health Service Act 1946 introduced universal health care and the National Assistance Act provided a safety net replacing the old Poor Laws.  The upshot was that by 1950 much of the charity's former purpose had been taken over by the state.

A review of operations led to the scheme of 1954. Some money was available to help travellers in need of financial assistance and some for "amenities or samaritan funds" at hospitals within the city.  Some money was available for apprenticeships, for books, tools, fees and examinations.  Power was obtained for discretionary grants to relieve hardship or distress, either directly or via other institutions.

By 1976, sufficient funds were available to extend the almshouses.  In 1977, yet another scheme came into operation.  Several charities, some of which were already administered by the Trustees of Richard Watts Charity were amalgamated under the title: "Richard Watts and the City of Rochester Almshouse Charities":
 Richard Watts General
 Hayward's Almshouses
 The Chatham Intra Charity of Richard Watts
 St. Catherine's Hospital Charities

Watts' Nursing Service
The scheme of 1855 set up a nursing service to provide maternity care and to care for the afflicted poor of the parish.  Any of the inmates of the Almshouses were able to call on their services in time of sickness.  Care was free.  A Head Nurse supervised the service, relying on nurses to provide the actual care.  The Head Nurse periodically attended on all those in the care of nurses to check on the standard of work.  She also had to visit all inmates of the almshouses once a week, ensure adequate fire precautions and prepare the boardroom for meetings.

Things did not always go smoothly.  Thomas Aveling complained in January 1871 about "the reported inefficiency of the Nurses ... more than twelve months since", which is interesting because as mayor 1869–70 he had a level of supervision of the charity.  On 2 June 1871 he was appointed to be a trustee at around the same time he left the council.

During the 1930s home-helps were employed by the charity to assist new mothers for up to 21 days after the birth.  They were expected to attend from 8 am to 8 pm and to cook, supervise older children (getting them to school and afterwards to bed) and wash the children's clothes.  Washing the patient and making the bed were, however, the prerogative of the nurse.  Although the scheme seemed to work well, it was too expensive for the charity and the home-helps were discontinued after 1938.

The scheme was not without problems.  In 1941 the Royal College of Nursing expressed concern to the trustees for "advertising for a SRN [State Registered Nurse] for district work at a salary of £130 p.a."  Eventually an increase of £50 p.a. was agreed for each nurse.  In 1945 the Nurses' Salaries Commission reported and the Ministry of Health established norms for the profession.  Thereafter the rates agreed by the Whitley Council were paid.

The coming of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1946 brought a dramatic change to the charity.  The county council had the task of organising a free home nursing service for all persons who needed it.  Local organisations could participate, they would need to fund 25% of the cost, the county providing the remaining 75%.  The charity's nursing service was incorporated on this basis into the NHS with the county funding £2,000 and the charity £1,500.  The Charity Commissioners were not happy with a charity becoming permanently involved in the NHS and only permitted the arrangement to run until December 1950.  The nursing service continued to provide a reduced independent service until all patients were transferred to the NHS on 31 March 1958.  The Nursing Branch of the charity then ceased to exist.

Watts Public Baths
The 1855 scheme empowered the trustees to erect public baths and washhouses.  There was a site by the river which had been occupied by the baths of the Castle Club. The trustees duly obtained it and built new baths, opening in 1880.  Both private baths and swimming baths were provided.  The swimming baths were used by schools. Between 1882 and 1925, some three and a half thousand children had learnt to swim there.  The baths were never run profitably, a yearly grant of £200 from the charity being required.  Finally in 1935, the baths were handed over to Rochester Corporation, though the annual grant remained for a further 15 years.

Satis House
Queen Elizabeth I was the guest of Richard Watts during her royal progress of 1573. When he asked her if his house was to her liking, she replied '' (Latin for 'enough'). The house was thereafter known as 'Satis House'.

Archbishop Longley was born in Satis house in 1794.

The house has been rebuilt and is now the administration building for The King's School, Rochester. A bust of Watts has been set on top of the building's portico. Although Charles Dickens in his novel Great Expectations used the name Satis House for Miss Havisham's house, his biographer, John Forster, felt that some aspects of the fictitious Satis House were modelled on nearby Restoration House.

I subscribe to WritersWeekly, and thought of you and your publishing service when I heard this story on NPR today.
Writers are now using what they call sensitivity readers to vet their novels for offensive materials before publishing. Some writers now consider it as important as hiring a copy editor before publishing their books.
Frankly, as a writer who would eventually like to self publish my novels, it doesn't give me much confidence to publish my own writing if this becomes a trend, and even required by society at-large.
I was wondering if you knew about this and what you think of it as a self-published author and publisher.
Thanks for all you do for self-published writers.
A – I think the practice of hiring "sensitivity readers" is absolutely RIDICULOUS! Books are supposed to challenge readers' thinking. They not only entertain readers, but also disturb, offend, spur people to action, expand our thinking, teach us about things, people, and societies that we would otherwise never be exposed to, and so much more!
This is pre-publication censorship, plain and simple.
I've heard about this happening at publishing houses and I received several comments on the subject through Facebook last week. Those publishers are censoring their own authors' books because they "fear backlash from social justice activists." Puh-lease!!!
Here at BookLocker, we publish Christian books, books by atheists, as well as "steamy" romance novels. We publish books on very liberal topics, as well as books that express very conservative ideas. We simply trust that readers are intelligent enough to make up their own minds about what they read.
The political correctness campaign in our country has reached outrageous and even dangerous levels, spurring far more anger and hatred than there would have been without a "PC culture." Everybody seems to be looking for things to get angry and complain about! Our children have already been dumbed down by our weak public education system. When we start censoring what they'll be reading as young adults, we're treading on very dangerous ground. When authors start censoring themselves, they need to consider quitting the craft! Seriously, if your book needs to be "censored," so as not to offend any person at all, perhaps you should toss it in a drawer and forget all about it.
Obviously, George Orwell was a psychic.
That said, there are some books that should never be published, like the guidebook for pedophiles that CreateSpace (owned by Amazon) published a few years ago. There are books on the market that teach people how to perform other illegal acts. Amazon also sells how-to dog fighting books, which I personally find reprehensible. Any book that teaches someone how to torture a child or an animal SHOULD be censored.
Readers are going to criticize your work whether you've "offended" them or not. Criticism is part of the life of every writer. Hiring a "sensitivity reader" isn't going to stop that criticism. In my opinion, writers who are so afraid of criticism that they hire a sensitivity reader shouldn't be in the business.
As for these "sensitivity readers" (I am NOT talking about fact checkers)…well, it sure seems to me like some creative folks have invented a brand new profession to make an extra buck. I hope this absurd practice dies quickly.
22 Signs That So-Called "Publisher" is an AUTHOR MILL!
3 Responses to ""Angela, what's your opinion about publishers and authors hiring 'sensitivity readers?'""
We are talking about a book, for goodness sake! If you don't like what you are reading, close the cover.
I think there is a role for this, not in the form of censorship, but to give authors food for thought about their writing. If I had been a sensitivity reader for Asimov I might have pointed out to him that his original Foundation books contained not one single female character (until I think the third book where there is a wife nagging her husband for jewelry and some housewives buying nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners) and asked if he thought that was what the world was really going to look like 20,000 years in the future. Or for another example: it's common to read depictions of traumatic events where the victims' experiences and coping afterward are nothing like what victims go through in real life, and in those instances I might suggest to the author that they do more research on the different ways in which trauma really affects people. Then it's up to the author whether they want to create a piece that really examines that in a realistic and sensitive way, or if they're just trying to move the plot forward and don't mind if the characters' reactions are unrealistic.
As far as sensitivity readers go, I agree that's a bit much. While I do believe in a certain degree of political correctness, I've seen it go too far many a time. For instance, a friend of mine was describing a BBC show she liked that was set in England and said, "And the partner was an African-American." I said, "Oh, they hired an American actor to play that role?" She looked confused and then said, "No, he was British." Similarly, a friend who traveled to South Africa came back confused that blacks there didn't like being called African-Americans. She never did understand her mistake. I have no problem using terms that a particular group prefers I use (I would never call a "little person" a midget, for example, since they find it offensive and it doesn't hurt me in any way to use the term they want me to use), but particularly in a work of fiction, if my character uses a "wrong" term, it's very often intentional, as I'm trying to convey something about the character, not about me.

Obras de Tina Modotti
Molina, Renato
Renato Molina Enriquez chooses four photos by Tina Modotti and through them unveils the beauty of a contemporary vision linked to industrial progress by finding in the photos of electric cables a refined sensuality. The photos are not a product at random, but rather the search made with regard to the estridentista poet Germán List Arzubide' request. They are thus a type of homage to man's new activities.
Founded in 1921 when several exiled Mexican avant-garde artists started to return to Mexico after the revolution – the Estridentista movement begins its catalyst process with a local avant-garde focus. The poet Manuel Maples Arce (1898-1981) issues the Manifesto Actual No.1, comprimido estridentista de Manuel Maples Arce [Actual no.1, A Strident Prescription by Manuel Maples Arce]On April 12 there is an event at the Café de Nadie [Nobody's Café] that is attended by avant-garde artists from different parts of the world. During the stay of some estridentistas in Mexico City in 1925, the police made a foray at Café de Nadie. Several of the estridentistas kernel group emigrates to the city of Xalapa (State of Veracruz), others to Paris and New York. The photographic reproductions were taken for the book by Germán List Arzubide (1898-1998), a poet and revolutionary who fought in Zapatista groups. His book, El Canto de los Hombres [The Song of Man], was published in Xalapa by the Horizonte publishing house.Salvador Novo (1904-1974), who appears as a censor in the first issues of the magazine Forma [Shape], now figures as a representative of the artistic criteria of the Secretaria de Educación Pública[SEP, Ministry of Public Education.]

Farm Studios owners Zak Heald, from left, Tom Heald and Jason Netter hold scissors to cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the film production studio in Hiwasse.
The budding film industry in Arkansas got a little larger Tuesday (Feb. 5) when Farm Studios, a soundstage and production facility, held a grand opening and ribbon cutting at its location in western Benton County.
Farm Studios, sitting on four and a half acres on Dickson Road in Hiwasse, is described as a "private Hollywood-style back lot designed to serve a wide variety of film, television and media production needs." The 17,200-square-foot facility includes a 9,500-square-foot soundstage with a 50-foot by 90-foot cyclorama wall, a 30-foot by 50-foot light grid and a 3,000-square-foot set construction workshop. Average rental cost of the facility ranges from $1,500 to $2,000 per day.
The $1 million facility is owned by Jason Netter, founder and CEO of Kickstart Entertainment of Los Angeles, Zak Heald, owner of Intercut Productions of Bentonville, Tom Heald and Lori Heald.
Zak Heald said the partners built the studio to address the lack of film production services in Arkansas. The HBO television series "True Detective" filmed in Northwest Arkansas last year, and some estimates say it brought in $200 million for the state.
Heald said an average of five to six films shoot footage in Arkansas each year. Reception of the new studio has been good.
As Arkansas is introduced to the rest of the world, increased tourism and population growth are added benefits, she said.
Griffith also said with a film industry here, actors and crew don't have to leave to do their work. "They can stay here because we have continuous films going on in the area," she said.
Heald and Griffith both are encouraged by Gov. Asa Hutchinson's 10-year renewal of the rebate incentive for filmmakers. The incentive allows production companies to earn a 20% rebate on all qualified production expenditures in Arkansas and from 20% to 30% rebate on wages paid.
"The incentive makes this a really competitive place to bring production to," Heald said.
Gov. Hutchinson was scheduled to speak at Tuesday's event but was absent due to a scheduling conflict.


Because archival records ensure the protection of citizens' rights, the accountability of governments and organizations, and the accessibility of historical information, the Society of American Archivists (SAA) believes that the archives profession must take an active role in advocating for the public policies and resources necessary to ensure that these records are identified, preserved, and made accessible. This Public Policy Agenda identifies a limited set of broad priorities that serves to guide the Society's advocacy efforts in the public policy and legislative arenas. Requests for SAA's commitment to a specific advocacy issue will be more vigorously pursued if that issue fits within these priorities.
To serve these needs, sufficient public funding of archives and records management functions is required at all levels of government.
Advocate for reform of the Presidential Records Act of 1978 to ensure that it is enforceable on both the President and the Vice President, adequately encompasses electronic as well as paper records and communications, and cannot be altered at the discretion of a sitting chief executive via executive order.
Support all efforts to strengthen the federal Freedom of Information Act to ensure that agencies follow both the letter and the spirit of the law, delays and backlogs in the FOIA request process are reduced to a minimum, and communication between agencies and FOIA requesters and between the government and the public regarding FOIA matters is improved.
Advocate for reform of the processes through which, and the length of time for which, government records may be classified, as well as for the streamlining of declassification procedures.
Support all efforts to strengthen access to state and local records.
Support efforts to standardize PHI definitions and requirements in state law and regulation based on federal rules and regulations, with the goal of creating a single, nationally recognized standard regarding PHI.
Support efforts to determine the fate of documentation collected by the National Security Agency (NSA) regarding individuals.
Advocate for the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA's) authority to regulate records designated as archival throughout the federal government.
Oppose any attempt to restrict further the very limited exceptions in Section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act and work to update the law to reflect the realities of the digital world in which we live.
Support legislation that would more appropriately balance copyright owners' interests with the diligence incumbent upon users in cases of "orphan works" (i.e., situations in which the owner of a copyrighted work cannot be identified and located by someone who wishes to make use of the work in a manner that requires permission of the copyright owner).
Support revision of the length of current copyright protection.
View a one-page overview of SAA's positions on Copyright Issues.
Advocate for funding within public archives programs (and within governmental grant programs) that is comparable to that provided to libraries, museums, and other cultural heritage organizations throughout the U.S.
Support the conduct of meaningful studies to determine the direct and indirect costs of identifying, maintaining, and making available for use the public records housed in archives across the nation.
Confidential or personal information held by government at all levels is not disclosed in ways that may cause significant harm.
Information—or more properly the expression of information in a particular way—can be excluded for a limited time from the public domain and used exclusively by the creator for private gain.
SAA firmly believes that the critical nature of information in a democracy places the burden to prove the need for confidentiality, or the legitimacy of excluding information from the public domain, on those asserting such claims. Unless there are legal or other compelling reasons to the contrary, SAA will consistently value the general good obtained through open access to information over the limited good achieved by information closure or proprietary use.
For more information and perspectives, see the Committee on Public Policy's microsite.
Several other SAA groups track issues of importance to archivists and the archival community. See, for example, the microsites of SAA's Committee on Ethics and Professional Conduct, Intellectual Property Working Group, and Issues and Advocacy Roundtable.

Sen. John McCain may be developing a new source of alternative energy: back-pedaling.
On June 16, when McCain first proposed lifting the 27-year-old federal moratorium on new leases for offshore oil and gas drilling, he said it would "be very helpful in the short term resolving our energy crisis."
A week later, McCain had a different take. At a town hall meeting in Fresno, Calif., last Monday, he was asked about gas prices and whether his call for expanding offshore drilling could be a short-term solution. "I don't see an immediate relief, but I do see that exploitation of existing reserves that may exist -- and in the view of many experts that do exist off our coasts -- is also a way that we need to provide relief. Even though it may take some years, the fact that we are exploiting those reserves would have psychological impact that I think is beneficial."
It wasn't McCain's first instance of back-pedaling on an energy issue -- or even his quickest.
On April 15, while campaigning for president, McCain called for suspending federal gas taxes as a means of providing consumers relief from the rising price of gas. "The effect will be an immediate economic stimulus," he said, and "spread relief across the American economy."
Two days later, after economists and other candidates said McCain's idea would have a minimal effect on the economy and gas prices and might encourage more driving, he explained that a gas-tax holiday -- an idea also embraced by another candidate, Sen. Hillary Clinton -- "might give 'em a little psychological boost. Let's have some straight talk: It's not a huge amount of money. ..."
McCain has reason to backtrack -- on the gas-tax holiday and on expanding offshore oil and gas leases. Both ideas are more political than practical, and neither deserves to be part of a sensible U.S. energy policy.
In particular, the proposal to open new offshore areas -- along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and off Florida's Gulf coast -- is a brazen attempt to appeal to voters struggling to pay the high cost of gas. The implication is that if the federal moratorium were lifted, energy companies would exploit new resources, quickly boost domestic oil and gas supplies and bring down the price of gas.
Newt Gingrich, a former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, has jumped on that bandwagon, urging McCain to use gas prices as a "populist" campaign issue seeking online support for a petition that says "drill here, drill now, pay less."
If oil and gas companies wanted to increase the supply of domestically produced oil, they already have all the leases they need. Companies are drilling offshore -- contrary to popular misconception -- and they have more leases that would enable them to pursue more supplies.
A study by the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources found that of the 90 million acres of federal land being leased by the energy industry, on land and offshore, less than a quarter are producing oil and gas.
The 68 million acres of unused leases include parcels in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska -- including acres in the eastern Gulf that Congress e opened in 2006, after similar complaints from drilling proponents at the time that they were needed to augment scarce oil and gas supplies.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration has been asked to report whether increased usage of domestic refineries would drive prices down at the pump. "If U.S. refinery utilization increased, gasoline prices might decrease some, but probably not by much, since wholesale gasoline spreads are already low, and crude prices remain high," the EIA stated this month.
Opening new areas off U.S. shores to exploration and drilling wouldn't significantly impact domestic gasoline prices. According to another EIA report, issued last year, increasing "access to the Pacific, Atlantic, and eastern Gulf regions would not have a significant impact on domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030."
The reasons are many but the leasing of ocean-bottom tracts would begin no sooner than 2012 and it would take years to get drilling rigs, ships and other parts of the production chain into place. Even then, the oil available and recent trends in demands and pricing suggest that domestic offshore drilling would neither substantially affect prices nor significantly reduce imports.
In other words, the "drill here, drill now, pay less" mantra is bunk.
And it doesn't take into account the environmental impacts of additional ocean drilling closer to the shores of states like Florida, or the effects of transportation and refining.
Even in the long term, domestic drilling isn't the United States' answer on the supply side. The U.S. has 3 percent of the world's reserves yet consumes 25 percent of the supply.
Proven reserves are estimated quantities that analysis of geologic and engineering data demonstrates with reasonable certainty are recoverable under existing economic and operating conditions.
Some proponents of expanding drilling assert that the 3 percent figure doesn't take into account what might be found. Estimating reserves is difficult, but the EIA's methods of gauging potential domestic supplies are solid; the discovery of vast, cheap-to-tap reserves is unlikely.
Efforts in Congress that would help alleviate U.S. dependence on oil, foreign or domestic, have been opposed by many of the same politicians calling for new offshore leases.
President Bush has sought to blame "Democratic leaders" for opposing the expansion of offshore drilling -- despite the fact that his own brother, Jeb, the former governor of Florida, was among the many Republican opponents of opening new, near-shore areas of the Gulf.
Every day that domestic policies and politics are directed toward unsustainable, ineffective strategies, the U.S. misses opportunities to capitalize on the cost-effective alternative energy sources.
Gingrich and other proponents of expanding drilling and bringing it closer to Florida's shores say politicians ignore voter angst over gas prices at their own risk. Perhaps.
But Americans who want real solutions will risk even more if they let the "psychological impact" of false promises guide U.S. energy policy.

What's the name of the Celtics version of Raptors Republic? I'd like to read it as well.
So Brad is human after all.
Consider the fact he's heavily tied to Boston. Perhaps he had his blinders on like many people around here when it comes to the Raptors.

There is definitely some good schadenfreude in there. Could also go to RealGM or their reddit for extra fun.

Think the team is going to look alot different. Rozier deffinatly doesnt want to be their anymore. He was already saying after game 5 that he sacrificed more then anyone this year. Could see someone like the suns overpaying for him. Marcus morris could be gone as well he will probably get some pretty good offers. And i think Al Horford could get offered a good deal on 3-4 years and maybe turns down his player option and go elsewhere

Paul was even worse than Harden. There's a reason why he's never won anything. That dude crumbles under pressure.
And i said it before and i'll say it again, Chris Paul is the most overrated player of this generation.
Hes passing the torch to kyrie Irving
Btw, Harden only took 1 shot in the last 9 mins of the game. Lmao.
And that reason is because he's 6-foot nuthin' in shoes, which makes it harder to back up that arrogant attitude when it counts.
Regular season beasts: chris Paul, harden, Lowry, DeRozan, Westbrook, steph curry, klay,
playoff beasts: iguodala, Gordon, Beverly, valanciunas
always beasts, straight alphas: Kawhi, Durant, lebron
Didn't see this coming: Report: Lakers move on from Tyronn Lue for vacant head-coach job
According to Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times, Lue turned down a contract offer of three years, worth $18 million, supposedly because he wanted a longer term.
Confirmed: Tyronn Lue is an idiot. He likely knows it's his last NBA head coaching contract so he holds out for 4-5 years. Now he might have to take an Assistant job to stay in the league.


The fetchart plugin retrieves album art images from various sources on the Web and stores them as image files.
The plugin uses requests to fetch album art from the Web.
When the plugin is enabled, it automatically gets album art for every album you import.
By default, beets stores album art image files alongside the music files for an album in a file called cover.jpg. To customize the name of this file, use the art_filename config option.
auto: Enable automatic album art fetching during import. Default: yes.
cautious: Pick only trusted album art by ignoring filenames that do not contain one of the keywords in cover_names. Default: no.
cover_names: Prioritize images containing words in this list. Default: cover front art album folder.
minwidth: Only images with a width bigger or equal to minwidth are considered as valid album art candidates. Default: 0.
maxwidth: A maximum image width to downscale fetched images if they are too big. The resize operation reduces image width to at most maxwidth pixels. The height is recomputed so that the aspect ratio is preserved.
enforce_ratio: Only images with a width:height ratio of 1:1 are considered as valid album art candidates if set to yes. It is also possible to specify a certain deviation to the exact ratio to still be considered valid. This can be done either in pixels (enforce_ratio: 10px) or as a percentage of the longer edge (enforce_ratio: 0.5%). Default: no.
sources: List of sources to search for images. An asterisk * expands to all available sources. Default: filesystem coverart amazon albumart, i.e., everything but wikipedia, google and fanarttv. Enable those sources for more matches at the cost of some speed. They are searched in the given order, thus in the default config, no remote (Web) art source are queried if local art is found in the filesystem. To use a local image as fallback, move it to the end of the list.
google_key: Your Google API key (to enable the Google Custom Search backend). Default: None.
google_engine: The custom search engine to use. Default: The beets custom search engine, which searches the entire web.
fanarttv_key: The personal API key for requesting art from fanart.tv. See below.
store_source: If enabled, fetchart stores the artwork's source in a flexible tag named art_source. See below for the rationale behind this. Default: no.
Note: maxwidth and enforce_ratio options require either ImageMagick or Pillow.
Previously, there was a remote_priority option to specify when to look for art on the filesystem. This is still respected, but a deprecation message will be shown until you replace this configuration with the new filesystem value in the sources array.
By default, the command will only look for album art when the album doesn't already have it; the -f or --force switch makes it search for art in Web databases regardless. If you specify a query, only matching albums will be processed; otherwise, the command processes every album in your library.
By default the command will display all results, the -q or --quiet switch will only display results for album arts that are still missing.
Beets can resize images using Pillow, ImageMagick, or a server-side resizing proxy. If either Pillow or ImageMagick is installed, beets will use those; otherwise, it falls back to the resizing proxy. If the resizing proxy is used, no resizing is performed for album art found on the filesystem—only downloaded art is resized. Server-side resizing can also be slower than local resizing, so consider installing one of the two backends for better performance.
When using ImageMagick, beets looks for the convert executable in your path. On some versions of Windows, the program can be shadowed by a system-provided convert.exe. On these systems, you may need to modify your %PATH% environment variable so that ImageMagick comes first or use Pillow instead.
By default, this plugin searches for art in the local filesystem as well as on the Cover Art Archive, Amazon, and AlbumArt.org, in that order. You can reorder the sources or remove some to speed up the process using the sources configuration option.
When looking for local album art, beets checks for image files located in the same folder as the music files you're importing. Beets prefers to use an image file whose name contains "cover", "front", "art", "album" or "folder", but in the absence of well-known names, it will use any image file in the same folder as your music files.
When you choose to apply changes during an import, beets will search for art as described above. For "as-is" imports (and non-autotagged imports using the -A flag), beets only looks for art on the local filesystem.
To use the google image search backend you need to register for a Google API key. Set the google_key configuration option to your key, then add google to the list of sources in your configuration.
Optionally, you can define a custom search engine. Get your search engine's token and use it for your google_engine configuration option. The default engine searches the entire web for cover art.
Note that the Google custom search API is limited to 100 queries per day. After that, the fetchart plugin will fall back on other declared data sources.
Although not strictly necessary right now, you might think about registering a personal fanart.tv API key. Set the fanarttv_key configuration option to your key, then add fanarttv to the list of sources in your configuration.
More detailed information can be found on their blog. Specifically, the personal key will give you earlier access to new art.
The values written to art_source are the same names used in the sources configuration value.
