Wilbur-Ellis Media Contact
SALEM, S.D. – April 1, 2015 – Wilbur-Ellis Company's Agribusiness Division, a recognized leader in precision agriculture technology and the distribution and marketing of plant protection, seed and nutritional products, announced today that it has acquired the assets of Lacey's Farmacy, Inc., an agriculture retail business located in Salem, S.D. The location will now be part of Wilbur-Ellis' Midwest Region, and it will significantly broaden the company's presence in southeastern South Dakota.
"Lacey's Farmacy is a quality, forward-thinking company whose business aligns well with Wilbur-Ellis' growth plans in the Midwest," said Matt Christopherson, South Dakota area manager for Wilbur-Ellis. "We look forward to beginning our integration with the team at Lacey's Farmacy and working together to maximize our customers' potential."
The new location is a strategic fit for Wilbur-Ellis in the region, which includes other recent acquisitions in Chester, S.D. and Creston, Iowa.
"The decision to become a part of Wilbur-Ellis was ultimately made because of their people and the synergies and values that our companies share," said Tait Lacey. "We look forward to growing this business and introducing our customers to new products and precision crop tools that I believe will be a game-changer for their operations."
Tait Lacey will now serve as branch manager for the location.

There are various things that could be done to work around this. In an ideal world, PuTTY would measure the bandwidth-delay product of the link it's running over and use that to set the window so as to fully use the available bandwidth without completely breaking flow control. A rather simpler approach is possible where a connection only has (and only ever will have) one channel running over it, since in that case PuTTY can open the window fully and leave flow control to TCP. This is covered by flow-control-filexfer.
Of course, things become more complicated if multiple channels were to be used (e.g., port-forwarding of bulk transfers, or some of the wilder excesses of SSH-2 generality).
The basic idea is that when the connection isn't being limited by our ability to process data, we want to ensure that the window size as seen by the server never drops to zero. Measuring the server's view of the window size is done by arranging for it to acknowledge every SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST, or rather an SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST [winadj@putty.projects.tartarus.org] sent just before it. That way we can tell when it its outgoing data stream it recieved the window adjustment, and thus how small the server's view of the window got.
At present, we only ever increase the window size. In theory, we could arrange to reduce it again if the server's view of it seemed to be persistently too large, but my experiments suggest that getting this right will be tricky.
The new channel requests emitted by PuTTY as part of this change can cause a lot of noise in the logs of the OpenSSH server -- "sshd: session_input_channel_req: no session 1 req winadj@putty.projects.tartarus.org". This should be mitigated as of OpenSSH 5.1.
The frequent new channel requests exposed a bug in the Dropbear SSH server, leading to PuTTY terminating sessions with a "Received SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE for nonexistent channel" message. This bug has been fixed in new versions of Dropbear (probably 0.52 onwards).
Another approach (not taken): the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center suggest that basing the SSH window size on the TCP window size from the underlying OS can help in some circumstances. This would only be valid where the SSH and TCP connections are coterminous, with no tunnelling taking place.
If this is done, some higher-level protocols could probably benefit from similar adaptation -- notably SFTP, which since it was sped up has also used a 16k "window size" of its own for bulk transfers. We've had improvement reported from tweaking this and the SSH-2 channel window size on a 100Mbit network (ref 41A6366F.9030909@enriva.com).

Business Cards are the standard in the business world, where they are used not only to allow people to know how to contact you, but also as a way to solidify relationships, meet new people, and increase business. Don't be lured in by cheap business cards online though...take a little time to research what is truly your best option and we're confident you'll order with us.
While the needs of evangelism are different, personal selling strategies can increase both how many people you help, and how many actually choose to accept your message. Business Cards are effective in that they are small enough to always have on hand for when you need them. They are good as a leave behind, as well as a way to reach the peers of those you've already reached. They are also nice because they can be a soft sell that leaves behind a tangible lifeline to salvation (your phone number).
Choose a card with a fish or Cross on it to show your faith in your daily work life. This will give those who share your faith another reason to use your services, and those who don't will realize that you are a living witness to the effect God can have in our daily lives. You can easily make your own business cards on our site using our Card Editor.
your church is located. Just asking all your members to pass out 10 cards each, can dramatically increase awareness of where and when your services are. Do you already have a business card designed? If so, you can easily upload your business card template using our Upload feature and we'll print it for you.
Leaving behind your card with your phone and contact information is the best gift you can give to those who need to hear the word. It might take months or even years for them to realize that they can no longer manage without someone else's help. The nice thing about a business card, is that it is patient, and can lurk in their wallet for as long as they let it.
Do you need to renovate your church, raise money for that field trip, or to get donations for your food pantry. Business cards are a great way to spread the word about what your group needs to achieve it's goals. When properly distributed you can be amazed at how who will receive your card. And listing how peoples donations will be used on the back of your cards makes them feel like their money is really going somewhere they will be able to point to later.


If the mash water doesn't reach the top perforated plate, add extra water to fill up the space and enter figure into the additional mash water field. If you are using Micro Pipework then ignore the additional mash water field.
Calculates the percentage of total available sugars that were extracted from the grains during the mash and sparge process.
Converts refractometer readings taken of wort (Brix WRI) to their actual value in Brix / Plato and Specific Gravity. Supports alcohol correction of refractometer readings when calculating FG (which requires OG).
In general the ABV of the beer will be similar to the kilogram/pounds of grain. However the ABV will depend on how you mash and ferment so it is best to use this calculator to get an accurate figure.

Importance Of Rights In Universal Declaration Of Human Rights
RIGHT TO FAIR TRIAL IN DIFFERENT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENT:
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1948, provides in Article 10 that: everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.
Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, adopted in 1950, entitles an accused to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time period, to prompt information on the trial in a language which he understands, to confront witnesses testifying on behalf of the prosecution, to order the appearance of witnesses to testify on his behalf, and to legal assistance.
In 1966, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was adopted. It entered into force in 1976 and thus far has been ratified by 164 States. Article 14 of the Covenant affords the full panoply of minimum rights to a criminally accused person.
I turn now to the American Convention on Human Rights, adopted in 1969. Article 8 of this Convention provides the full spectrum of rights to a criminally accused person, comparable to the European Convention.
The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, adopted by the Organization of African Unity in 1981, also codifies the right to a fair trial. Article 7 contains many of the rights included in

After the Second World War ended in the mid 1940's there became a serious realisation to the importance of human rights.

Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Members of the United Nations who signed the Declaration, including Canada, were expected to protect and respect the rights of all human beings.

Many countries protect such human rights with specific legislation, in which they then cohesively share the principles of dignity, equality and respect. Some of these cultures, too, include a bill of rights in their legislation to reinforce such moralistic ideals. Australia, though, has not done so, and protects human rights through other means such as common law, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Constitution, and legislative

A counter argument for this would be that an infant can experience emotions and pain as well, but they also suffer quietly as if they are an animal, too. However, an infant suffering does not go unnoticed as it does with an animal. Why is a human's life more valued than an animal? The answer is simple: humans are protected

This is part one of a two-part piece. Read Part two.
Human settlements are always shaped by whatever is the state of the art transportation device of the time. Shoe-leather and donkeys enabled the Jerusalem known by Jesus. Sixteen centuries later, when critical transportation has become horse-drawn wagons and ocean-going sail, you get places like Boston. Railroads yield Chicago – both the area around the "L" (intraurban rail) and the area that processed wealth from the hinterlands (the stockyards). The automobile results in places with multiple urban cores like Los Angeles. The jet passenger plane allows more places with such "edge cities" to rise in such hitherto inconvenient locations as Dallas, Houston, Seattle and Atlanta and now Sydney, Lagos, Cairo, Bangkok, Djakarta, and Kuala Lumpur.
The dominant forms of transportation today are the automobile, the jet plane, and the networked computer. What does adding the networked computer get you? I think the answer is "the Santa-Fe-ing of the World." This means the rise of places where the entire point of which is face-to-face contact. These places are concentrated and walkable, like villages. Some are embedded in the old downtowns – such as Adams Morgan in Washington, or The Left Bank of Paris, or the charming portions of what in London is referred to, somewhat narcissistically, as "The City." Some are part of what have traditionally been regarded as suburbs or edge cities, such as Reston, Virginia, or Emeryville/Berkeley, California.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a remarkable example of this trend. Home to a world-renowned opera, charming architecture, distinguished restaurants, great places to buy used boots, quirky bookstores, sensational desert and mountain vistas and major diversity, it is also little more than a village of 62,000, far from the nearest major metropolis.
This "Santa-Fe-ing" means urbane well beyond the current definition of urban. It means aggregation and dispersal. As with all innovation, its impact is first seen among people with enough money to have choices.
After all, some would have us believe that with enough bandwidth, each of us can wind up on his or her own personal mountaintop in Montana, being lured down into the flatlands only to breed.
That's a preposterous view of human nature, of course. There's a reason solitary confinement is a punishment. We are social animals. But still, many of the historic reasons for human concentration are gone. It's been a century since you've had to live within walking distance of your factory. Today, you often don't even need be within driving distance of your office – as anyone with a cell phone knows. You certainly don't need a metropolis to acquire anything a dot-com is willing to sell – which is a very big deal now and growing exponentially.
Absent a cataclysm of biblical proportions, I think this means the one and only reason for congregation in the near future is face-to-face contact. Period. Full stop. The places that are good at providing this will thrive – think Oxford, England. The ones that are not will die. Cities are not forever. You have not heard much lately from the Babylon chamber of commerce.
There are nearly 100 classes of real estate out of which you build cities, according to William J. Mitchell, the former head of the architecture and planning department at MIT. They are all being transfigured. The classic example is bookstores. If all you want to do is exchange money for a commodity, the path with least friction is often Amazon. In backwaters where, just ten years ago, buying or even borrowing a non-best-seller was a chore that took weeks, hundreds of thousands of titles are now within one click. Does this mean bookstores have disappeared? Of course not. The half of them that have survived and even grown since the '90s, however, have morphed. The critical elements are no longer the shelves. They are the couches, cappuccino machines, and cafes. Bookstores have become places to loiter, face-to-face, among like-minded people.
What about grocery stores? What happens when it becomes cheaper for the supermarket to deliver your toilet paper to you than it is to heat, light and pay rent and taxes on its store? Under what circumstances would you ever again get in your car to drive to market again? For me, the answer is that I want to have face-to-face contact with my tomatoes – or anything else you might find in a social setting like a farmers' market. I'm not sure I'd trust the kid at the dot com to pick out my spare ribs. If the grocer wants to ship me my barbecue sauce, however, I won't mind. Ninety-five percent of everything one finds in a supermarket is flash-frozen, shrink-wrapped, and nationally advertised. We are in the midst of a burgeoning freight revolution, in which the stuff is coming to us, rather than us going to the stuff – as anybody who has Christmas shopped lately may have noted. In fact, I can't think of anything in an entire Wal-Mart that I would regret having delivered to me in a big brown van. Visiting a Wal-Mart doesn't give me enough of a psychic boost to justify a drive now. Of course, if big-box retail migrates into the digital ether tomorrow, we'll have an enormous challenge figuring out the adaptive re-use of their buildings. What will we make of them? Roller skating rinks? Greenhouses? Non-denominational evangelical churches? Artists lofts? Whatever the answer, I doubt their passing will be mourned.
What about college campuses? Is there any future for those? After all, the University of Phoenix, the online learning establishment, became one of the hottest growth stocks of the early 21st century. Internet MBAs abound from some of the world's most distinguished schools. Why bother ever getting out of your pajamas to learn?
Again, the answer is face-to-face contact. After all, distance learning is nothing new. Benjamin Franklin engaged in correspondence classes. The United States military is awash in senior officers with advanced degrees from the University of Maryland, which has pioneered its outreach programs to people in remote locations.
However, distance learning will always be everyone's second choice. It works best for people who do not have the time or money for the conventional academic experience. First choice remains the traditional universities. Getting into them has become insanely competitive and expensive. Why are they so desirable? Because sitting in class absorbing information from a lecturer is only a tiny part of the college experience. College is where many people meet their first spouse. It's where they develop a network of friends that they'll likely maintain for life. It's an entertainment center and an athletic center. Oh, and as for learning – most of the stuff that has stuck with me came out of dorm sessions at one in the morning, engaging in face-to-face contact with smart people.
As we shall see, the impact of face-to-face on urban calculations includes office space, and even home locations. But why is this transformation occurring now?
It all starts with Moore's Law, first stated by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore As the core faith of the entire global computer industry, it has come to be stated this way: The power of a dollar's worth of information technology will double every 18 months, for as far as the eye can see. Sure enough, in 2002, with a billion-transistor chip, the 27th doubling occurred right on schedule. The 30 consecutive doublings of anything man-made that we have achieved at this writing – an increase of well over 500 million times in so short a time — is unprecedented in human history. This is exponential change. It's a curve that goes straight up.
For sure, railroads also changed everything they touched. They transformed Europe. North America was converted from being a struggling, backward, rural civilization mostly hugging the East Coast into a continent-spanning, world-challenging, urban behemoth. New York went from a collection of villages to a world capital. Chicago went from a frontier outpost to a brawny goliath. The trip to San Francisco went from four months to six days. Distance was marked in minutes. Suddenly, every farm boy needed a pocket watch. For many of them, catching the train meant riding the crest of a new era that was mobile and national. A voyage to a new life cost 25 cents.
Of course, as railroad expansion ran out of critical fuel – including money and demand for the services – things leveled off, and society tried to adjust to the astounding changes seen during the rise of this curve. The last transcontinental railroad completed in the United States was the Milwaukee Road in 1909. In part, that was because of the rise of a new transformative technology: The one millionth Model T rolled off the assembly line in 1915.
In contrast, the curve predicted by Moore's Law did not stop. The computer industry still regularly beats its clockwork-like 18-month schedule for price-performance doubling.
The effect of Moore's Law on the built environment is and will become ever more profound.
For example, will we ever need offices outside our homes? After all, haven't we all heard plenty about telecommuting?
This kind of casual face-to-face contact is irreplaceable no matter how cheap or immersive video technology gets. Humans always default to the highest available bandwidth that does the job, and face-to-face is the gold standard. Some tasks require maximum connection to all senses. When you're trying to build trust, or engage in high-stress, high-value negotiation, or determine intent, or fall in love, or even have fun, face-to-face is hard to beat.
This would seem to argue that some old patterns endure, and that's true. But think of the twists suggested by this new premium on human basics. Suppose you decided that you could get all the face-to-face you needed two days a week. Would that influence where you lived? Would the mountains or the shore start looking good to you? Suppose you decided that you could get all the face-to-face you needed three days a month. Would the Caribbean start looking good to you?
Residential real estate is being transformed for these reasons. In the U.S., the explosive growth is in places far beyond any metropolitan area, like the Big Sky Country of Montana, the Gold Country of the California Sierras, the Piedmont of Virginia and the mountains and coasts of New England. For eons, when we've visited a nice place on vacation, we've asked ourselves, "Why am I going back?" Now, however, we have a new question: "Why am I going back?" Santa Fe is more than 800 miles from Los Angeles, yet it is only semi-jokingly referred to as L.A.'s easternmost suburb. To find out why, check out the nearest airport – in this case Albuquerque – any Monday morning.

Joel, was a big fan of Edge City, and living in the DC area I really appreciated all the Arlington, Tyson's and Reston references. Hope to see you at the Nat'l Building Museum soon, and will always respect your contribution to urban planning thought.
That said, this article reads more like something from a 1996 edition of Wired Magazine than a 2010 urban planning blog. Reading through the discussion about the enduring benefits of face-to-face contact, the impact of Moore's Law on communication, and the purpose of real world retail when you can buy online, I felt like I should be able to turn a page and see Nicholas Negroponte's headshot.
Also, I can't go for a ride in my "networked computer". Except in those cases where you're writing copy for a 1998 Sun Microsystems ad, I think we should consider a form of transportation to be something that either attaches to your feet or has wheels.
You've written a lot of good articles and books, but this one was not your best.

Sure- cities like Santa Fe are indeed charming and cute. There appears to be a trend these days in rejuvenating older, walkable neighborhoods and even entire cities. There's a yearning to return to the "good ole' days" when you had an Andy Griffith style relationship with your neighborhood.
The only problem is that in just about every instance that I've seen such a neighborhood it tends to almost always be expensive. Last year I actually took a trip to New Mexico. Santa Fe was like so many other overly gentrified cities where rich people from other cities and states have retired or moved to to "get away". I myself live in yet another "cute" neighborhood in the East Bay, San Francisco area. Sure- everyone brings out their signs to support their local elementary schools, we have parades, yard sales, and a few old diners that are well-patronized. But the typical resident drives a BMW, Mercedes, or Porsche. I've lived in this town for 7 years. When I first got here the town had some residual vestiges of its working class roots. But all of that has since been handily swept away and with each passing year a few more houses on my block get bought from their aged owners and sold to some Bimmer-driving couple who in turn pour tons of money into making them beautiful.
Where am I going with this? Well it seems to me that these days if you want to live in a cute lil' town with all the lovely amenities that make them idealistic and stereotypically charming you're going to have to have a wad of cash in your pocket. Otherwise the rest of us- myself included- are probably banished to the burbs and big box store strip malls.

Bob, I understand what you're saying, but to some extent, these prices are not some sort of outside-imposed accident. They come about because they're whatever the market will bear, what consumers are willing to pay for this kind of "cute" environment.
It turns out they're willing to pay A LOT. The prices of this inner-city living get bid up, and become "unaffordable." Something would not become "overly gentrified" if someone was not willing to bid a high price for it. So the question isn't so much whether or not people want these places -- the market has clearly spoken on that. The question is how we can make it possible that everyone can enjoy them, how we can make urban living more affordable to more people without lowering its quality.

The antibody systems used in Immunohistochemistry can be broadly divided into two types, direct and indirect. With the direct method the visualizing agent is attached directly to the antibody that will bind with the antigen. The direct method is technically and theoretically straightforward, and yields results sufficient for many studies. Its sensitivity is limited by the fact that only one antibody, and therefore one visualization agent, is bound to each antigen.
With direct immunohistochemistry, the labeled antibody directly binds to the antigen.
Indirect immunohistochemistry utilizes a second antibody specific to the first (primary) antibody. This secondary antibody has the visualizing agent attached. This allows for signal amplification. Primary antibodies directly label the antigen. The secondary antibody binds to the constant region of each primary antibody, with many secondary antibodies binding to each primary. This creates a cascade effect, amplifying the signal.
The signal can be greatly amplified with indirect immunohistochemistry, in which the visualizing agent (horseradish peroxidase) is attached to polyclonal secondary antibodies with polyclonal primary antibodies binding antigen.

Q: Coldfusion Taffy API returning "Cannot lock session scope" error on all requests I have a CF11 Enterprise (11,0,19,314546) server which runs on RHEL 7.7. We use Taffy (3.2) as a frontend to a Coldspring IOC library.  We recently did some load testing using Locust and now Taffy is getting a CFLock error on any request:

Cannot use cflock to lock the application or session shared scopes
  without these scopes  using the cfapplication tag.

Most other cases I've found on the web are from the app not have session management enabled in the server settings. Which we have never had in the API app. The Coldspring app (which is included as a dependency of the API) does have session management enabled. This leads me to believe it's an issue with Taffy.
We have another app on the same CF instance that is using the Coldspring app just fine. This second app does not have session management enabled.
Here's what I've done so far:

*

*Restarted CF and the Server

*Enabled session management in the API's Application.cfc (it's never been there and was working without it before)
  this.sessionManagement = true;
  this.sessionTimeout = createTimeSpan(0, 8, 30, 0);

*Tried different browsers/apps: Chrome, Firefox, Postman

*Cleared caches (template, component, and query) in the administrator

*Set default Client Session storage to "none" and back to "cookie" where it was originally

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

A: So it turns out the issue was we have several Coldspring apps using a single bean definition file. And when that was implemented there were some beans in one app that needed to be exclusive to that app. I'm not sure exactly how that resulted in a cflock error, but that was a red herring it seems.

Q: Django ORM - query depending on through table here is my data model:
class User(Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    teams = models.ManyToManyField(Team, through=UserTeam, related_name='users')

class Team(Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

class UserTeam(models.Model):

    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    team = models.ForeignKey(Team, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    is_special = models.BooleanField(default=True)

When i query for all users, i get a result like this (json result in rest api:
{
    'name': 'user-1',
    'teams': [
        {
            'name': 'team-1',
        },
        {
            'name': 'team-2',
        }
    ]
}

What i want to achieve is, i want to get only the the teams where the is_special flag is set to true for the user and team.
e.g. When a user is in two teams and one team has is_special flag set to false, then this team should be excluded from the result above...
Thats why i included in my user serializer:
teams = TeamSerializer(read_only=True, many=True)

def get_teams(self, obj):
    teams = Team.objects.filter(
        userteam__user=self.context['request'].user,
        userteam__is_special=True
    )
    serializer = UserSerializer(instance=teams, many=True)
    return serializer.data

But i still get the same result...
any ideas or suggestions?
thanks!

A: You might get more success approaching this from the through table.
I haven't tested this, and it's not optimal performance, but:
teams = TeamSerializer(read_only=True, many=True)

...

def get_teams(self, obj):
    user_teams = UserTeam.objects.filter(
         user=self.context['request'].user,
         is_special=True
    )
    teams = [ut.team for ut in user_teams]
    serializer = UserSerializer(instance=teams, many=True)
    return serializer.data

Or, trying to pull a bit less from the DB:
def get_teams(self, obj):

    team_ids = UserTeam.objects.filter(
         user=self.context['request'].user,
         is_special=True
    ).values_list('team_id', flat=True)

    teams = Team.objects.filter(id__in=team_ids)

    serializer = UserSerializer(instance=teams, many=True)

    return serializer.data

Sri Ram Sene leader declares bounty on Amulya Leona, police still gathering more information
Sri Ram Sene, a right-wing militant group in Karnataka, declared a bounty of ₹10 lakh for anyone who kills Amulya Leona Noronha in an "encounter"

Sri Ram Sene, a right-wing militant group in Karnataka, declared a bounty of ₹10 lakh for anyone who kills Amulya Leona Noronha in an "encounter," a report in The Wire stated.
19- year-old Amulya Leona, a journalism student was slapped with sedition and arrested last week from the dais, for shouting "Pakistan zindabad" at an anti-CAA rally in Bengaluru.
The sudden incident occurred when Amulya was called on the dais to address the gathering in protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) under the banner of "Save Our Constitution".

Amid the arrest of this journalism student and Sri Ram Sene announcing a bounty of ₹10 lakh for anyone who kills Amulya Leona, the police are not yet ready to take actions against Sri Ram Sene.
The police are still "figuring out" the appropriate action against the men who openly threatened violence, The Wire reported.
In a video which many social media users shared on social media Sanjeev Marady, a Sri Ram Sene leader from Bellary district, is seen warning the police against releasing Amulya on bail. He says, "We request the government to not allow the student Amulya to be released on bail. She said Pakistan Zindabad… and should not be released. And if she is released, we announce a reward of Rs 10 lakh to whoever kills her in an encounter." Marady, flanked by several other men, wearing a BJP scarf, made this statement, clearly wanting to kill a young woman.
The Bellary police has not initiated any action against Sanjeev Marady or the Sri Ram Sene.
The Wire quoted District superintendent of police, CK Baba as saying that the police are looking into the videos and are in the process of "gathering" more videos.
"We have taken note of this. We have not registered any FIR yet. We have heard that there is more than one video and we don't want to take any hasty action," CK Baba told The Wire.
"All I can say is we are looking into this ", said CK Baba when asked about what the police is doing to ensure that no violent attack happens against Amulya Leona or her family.
CK Baba had no answers for the delay in initiating police action. "We will soon act on this," was Baba's response.
Sri Ram Sene is a right-wing Hindu group which originated in Karnataka and is now headed by Manglam Lal Srivastava and Pramod Muthalik,
Hindu activist

A special thanks to Leesa for giving us editors a comfy place to watch all these movies! Now YOU can get $100 off a Leesa mattress with this special offer.
Is there anything better than cozying up in bed on a Saturday or Sunday and watching one (or two…or three!) of your favorite romantic comedies? The great thing about most of the movies on this list is that it seems like no matter how many times you've seen them (Notting Hill, we're looking at you) we watch these classics EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. they come on.
Sure. Trying to pick your all-time favorite romantic comedies is like trying to decide which ice cream flavor you like best. There are so many great ones to choose from, and one that you REALLY like might not be on another persons list at all. But I think we can all agree that we have a soft spot for most of the movies on this list, even though there are so many other ones that could have easily taken their place!
So, without further adieu, here is our list of the romantic comedies we love the most. From an 80's classic to a few newbies that managed to warm our hearts, these 15 romantic comedies are our favorites…and hopefully yours!
We love the story of Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan), who met on a road trip driving to New York City after college, and ended up not being friends, then friends, then more…While some of the movies on this list are on cable a bit TOO much, this is the one romantic comedy that we wish was on 24/7.
This movie follows the love lives of an intertwined group of Londoners, such as a newly elected Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who falls in love with a staffer (Martine McCutcheon), writer Jamie (Colin Firth), trying to win the heart of Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz) despite not being able to speak the same language, and Sarah (Laura Linney) who cannot admit her feelings for her co-worker, Karl (Rodrigo Santoro). A great romantic comedy AND holiday movie, it's like 9 romantic comedies rolled into one.
Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is a famous American actress who wanders into a bookstore owned by the unassuming William Thacker (Hugh Grant) and both of their lives are seemingly changed forever. We actually love this Hugh Grant movie MORE than Love, Actually (which is hard to do!).
Fun Fact: Romantic comedies are even funnier when watched in bed. Save $100 off a Leesa mattress with this exclusive offer.
Based on the book by Helen Fielding, the movie is a look inside the personal diary of Bridget (Renée Zellweger), who is trying to figure out her life (and love) one page at a time. This movie is the perfect combination of girl power and romance, and we laugh every time we see it (we also just watched the latest movie in the series, Bridget Jones's Baby, and it was surprisingly great, too!).
Power sports agent Jerry (Tom Cruise) seems to have it all, until he writes a company memo that gets him fired and makes he re-think his relationship with his fiance. Co-worker and single mom Dorothy (Renee Zellweger) sees more in him than he sees himself, but is it enough for her and her son? This non-traditional love story gets us every time.
Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is one of the most popular girls at her Beverly Hills high school, and she loves a pet project. So when new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) comes into the picture, a makeover ensues…but it's actually Cher who starts to re-evaluate what she really wants, especially when it comes to Josh (Paul Rudd), a family friend who is the complete opposite of her. Directed by Amy Hecklering (Fast Times at Ridgemont High), this movie was definitely one of our favorites growing up.
The fairytale (and funny!) story of Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright) who realizes she is in love with a farmhand, Westley (Cary Elwes), whose wish is every command ("As you wish," he always tells her). But when he leaves to claim his fortune before they can marry and doesn't return, Buttercup fears he is dead and agrees to marry another. It turns out Westley is alive and well, and we go on the journey back with him to find his Princess Bride. This movie manages to be both hilariously funny and romantic, which is pretty rare.
I'm not crying YOU'RE crying. At how comfy this Leesa mattress is. Read why it has the most verified 5-star reviews of any online mattress.
A modern version of the classic Cinderella story (err, SUPER modern. LOL), this story is about Edward (Richard Gere) a wealthy businessman who propositions Vivian (Julia Roberts) to be his companion for a week while he's in town for a week of meetings. The two start an unlikely romance that should be short-lived but is destined for more in this movie that has every viewer wanting Edward and Vivian to live happily ever after.
Robbie (Adam Sandler) is a broken-hearted wedding singer who forms a friendship with an engaged co-worker Julia (Drew Barrymore) who asks for his help planning her wedding. Realizing he has feelings for her AND that she's about to marry a jerk, Robbie figures out a way to win her heart before she walks down the aisle. With an awesome soundtrack and so many funny moments, this was the first in a series of great romantic comedies for Barrymore and Sandler (hello, 50 First Dates).
Ted (Ben Stiller) and Mary (Cameron Diaz) are supposed to go to prom together but an, um, unfortunately incident leads to a disastrous night apart. Fast forward 10+ years later and Ted still thinks about Mary, so he hires a sleazy private detective (Matt Dillon) to find out where she is. It turns out Ted is not the only one obsessed with Mary, but he has to show her that he's the one she should be with. The movie is one of our personal favorites, and is worth watching just to see what happens to Magda's dog.
Lelaina (Winona Ryder), Troy (Ethan Hawke), Sammy (Steve Zahn), and Vickie (Janeane Garofalo) are best friends and recent college graduates who find out that life might be a little easier back in school, especially when trying to figure out their careers and love lives. If you're looking for a time capsule of 90's culture and music, this is totally it.
You'll have time to watch like 800 rom-com's with Leesa's 100-night free trial. Order a Leesa mattress and get $100 off AND free shipping.
Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) is the prince of an African country who escapes an arranged marriage and drags his friend Semmi (Arsenio Hall) to America in search of something more real. When he gets a job as a fast-food worker he falls in love with the owner's daughter, Lisa,(Shari Headley), but refuses to tell her his real identity. Is there anybody funnier than Eddie Murphy? This is one romantic comedy that your fiance won't even mind watching.
Cal (Steve Carell) is a married father who finds out his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) has been unfaithful and wants a divorce, then suddenly has to learn how to be single again. He gets some help from smooth-talking Jacob (Ryan Gosling) who teaches him how to be a player, despite going against his own advice when he meets Hannah (Emma Stone). This is one of those movies where you're not sure if you'll like it, but then it quickly becomes one of your faves.
Up-and-coming fashion designer Melanie (Reese Witherspoon) is living the dream in New York City with a glamorous job and fiance Andrew (Patrick Dempsey) , but when she has to travel back home to Alabama to ask for a divorce from her secret husband and childhood sweetheart Jake (Josh Lucas), she suddenly finds herself torn between her past and future. Seriously, y'all. Is there anybody out there who doesn't love this movie? Plus, it has one of the best endings that you can ask for in a romantic comedy!
Order a Leesa mattress and get $100 off, free shipping, AND a 100 night risk-free trial. Now all you need is the popcorn.

Die Kapelle St. Joseph in Schweinlang in der Gemeinde Kraftisried im Landkreis Ostallgäu, ist ein im Jahr 1681 errichteter Kirchenbau.

Laut einer Inschrift auf der Predella des Altars wurde die Kapelle errichtet, nachdem 1668 ein Gesuch zum Bau einer Eulogiuskapelle abgelehnt wurde. Die Kapelle wurde vermutlich Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts um zwei Achsen nach Osten erweitert; dabei wurde auch die östliche Chorachse mit einer heute noch im Ansatz erkennbaren halbrunden Apsis zur Sakristei und Treppenhaus umgebaut, so dass der Altarraum innen nach Osten in einer geraden Nische abschließt.

In der Nische steht der von zwei blauen gewundenen, von Weinlaub umrankten Säulen begrenzte Choraltar aus der Erbauungszeit der Kirche. 1981 erhielt der Altar wieder das ursprüngliche Altarblatt, das den heiligen Joseph zeigt, der Maria das Jesuskind darreicht. Unter der heiligen Familie ist eine zeitgenössische Ansicht des Dorfes Schweinlang abgebildet. Den Altar flankieren Statuen der Eltern Marias, dem Heiligen Joachim und der Heiligen Anna.

Die beiden Seitenaltäre haben Altarblätter aus dem späten 18. Jahrhundert. Das Linke zeigt den Jesuitenmissionar Franz Xaver als Patron der Kranken und Sterbenden, das Rechte zeigt den Heiligen Leonhard als Schutzpatron der Gefangenen.

An der Südwand des Chors hängt ein 1886 vom Unterthingauer Maler Andreas Mayr gefertigtes Gemälde vom Josephstod, das von Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts bis 1981 als Altarblatt des Hauptaltars eingesetzt war. An den Innenwänden findet sich ein in Öl auf Leinwand ausgeführter Kreuzweg aus der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Auffallend ist die bemalte Täfeldecke aus Holz, deren Fassung aus der Erbauungszeit der Kapelle stammt.

LEARNING TO DREAM AGAIN.
You know those moments when you find something that you just know was written or said to you at just the right moment? As much as those moments weird me out, they are some of my most favorite moments, because they remind me that God is everywhere and yet also right beside me.
I was reading through one of Morgan Harper Nichols' daily emails a few weeks ago and her words spoke right to my heart:
"So take heart, in this season. Over everything that was broken, let your tired heart be open to the possibility of what could be: even here you are free to dream. You are free to trust and believe that in moving forward, you will find: there is so much more to see.
Allow yourself to keep dreaming, no matter what has yet to come together.
No matter your fears, no matter your failures, allow yourself to dream.
Let yourself begin to see: there is still room for new beginnings."
And that's when I realized that over the past couple years, I have unintentionally closed myself off from dreaming.
By telling people I was done with dating (which, let me just say, the frustration is real!), I was also telling myself that there really aren't any good guys left out there.
By telling myself that I'd never be able to make up my mind on what to do with the rest of my life, I gave up my dream of pursuing a Masters degree.
By telling myself that I shouldn't invest in a new camera, I resisted the idea of taking more photos professionally.
By telling myself I could/would never leave my job, I pushed away the desire to pursue foster care/adoption.
By telling myself I wasn't experienced and educated enough, I stomped out the possibility of pursuing a different career and vocational calling.
By telling myself I couldn't lose any more weight, I gave up trying out new workouts and routines.
Sadly, I let a lot of dreams die in my heart these past few years. I started to believe the lies and let those lies drown out the little girl inside of me with big dreams and a motivation to invest in myself and my future.
I think there's a part of all of us (as adults) that laughs at the ideas of having dreams. We reach a point in our lives where we think we're too old to dream and that we have to buckle down and just be an adult already. At least I think that's the lie that started me down that slippery slope.
But who said I can't dream? Who said I can't try new things--especially the new, scary, yet exciting things? Who said I can't start something new, even though I'm nearing thirty?
We live in a world that's constantly changing, telling us who to be, what to wear, what to say, what to eat, and what to do. But we also live in a world full of possibility and because this world is constantly changing, we can change with it, too.
Friend, I don't know where you're at right now, I don't know what dreams you've pushed back in your mind/heart, but I hope you know it's never too late to start.

"Women in Leadership" Speaker Series: Wonya Lucas, President and CEO of Crown Media Family Networks
Ms. Lucas shared her personal story, provided advice, and inspired the virtual audience with her message of kindness, hope, and love.
"If you're kind to people, if you're true to who you are, and you try to pay it forward, it always comes back to you in spades. I can sleep every night and wake up everyday knowing that I'm being authentic to who I am. Know who you are, live your true value, and find a place where that is valued." -- Wonya Lucas
On Wednesday, December 2, Trinity Hall welcomed Wonya Lucas, president and chief executive officer of Crown Media Family Networks as the latest featured speaker in our "Women in Leadership" series. During the virtual event for students, faculty, parents and alumnae (decked out in Christmas attire and not shy about their fondness for the Hallmark Channel), Ms. Lucas shared her personal story, from starting as an engineering major to growing as a marketer and becoming a leader in the entertainment industry.
Lucas joined Crown Media in August 2020 and oversees the company's portfolio of entertainment brands, including the Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and Hallmark Drama; subscription video on demand service Hallmark Movies Now; and publishing division Hallmark Publishing. In her prior position, she served as president and CEO of Public Broadcasting Atlanta, where she oversaw Atlanta's NPR (WABE) and PBS (ATL PBA) stations. Previously, she was president and CEO of TV One, where she became the second African American woman to hold the president and chief executive officer role at a cable television network. Her professional experience also includes several positions at Discovery Communications, including executive vice president and chief operating officer for Discovery Channel and Science Channel, and global chief marketing officer, which entailed oversight of marketing in 210 countries and over 130 networks.
Members of the virtual audience enjoyed the chance to ask Ms. Lucas questions about her career path, advice for starting a career in the industry, and qualities of a great leader.
"I think great leaders try to understand that they don't have all the answers and they learn from the people around them. I think great leaders also lift others up, they identify top talent and they give them opportunities," she said, with words resonating with the Trinity Hall community and our shared core value of leadership. "I think it's important not just that I'm good at my job, but that I'm part of a community...I think great leaders give back to their community."
Ms. Lucas also shared her bond with Trinity Hall students, who must take four years of engineering as a graduation requirement. While her career path eventually took her in a different direction, she told the students, " I still use my engineer's brain every day. I have my engineer's pad of paper I take with me everywhere I go."
Trinity Hall has hosted many prominent professional women as part of the "Women in Leadership" speaker series. The series gives students exposure to female role models who work in interesting and unique industries such as finance, the arts, healthcare, politics, professional athletics and philanthropy. The speakers inspire students to find and work within their personal passions, develop a stronger sense of self, and lead.
Thank you, Ms. Lucas! As Mrs. Sciarrillo shared, "You made us think, you made us feel, and you left us with that wonderful message of kindness, hope, and love."

I am inspired to write in response to Rev. Colin Coward's blog Unadulterated Love and in particular his Living and loving in evolutionary times of August 10, 2016 responding to reactions online after the 23 July blessing of a marriage in St Agnes Church, North Reddish, between the immediately retired priest in charge, Clive Larsen, and his partner John, with Colin Coward participating.
As far as I can see, he is responding to need with provision, but obviously controversial to some others who have been jumping about online.
What interests me is the basis of Colin's faith that establishes a very different attitude towards assisting others from those of his institutional critics.
The blog entry summarises a more general position. So he criticises the use of the Bible as social control leading to abuse, from one target to another. Focusing on sin and guilt leads to negative impact. Whilst politics and society has moved on, the Church instructs clergy to follow previous mores. And yet the service conducted was celebratory and reflected loving partnership.
He asserts that faith is changing, and that this is evolutionary and demonstrating creative energy. Those who fear across the world are resorting to violence, and the Churches are defensive with its anthropomorphic God, a supra-being, where old ways of understanding are reinforced by liturgy, hymns, prayers and teaching. Dogma, hierarchy and control plus infantilising result in abuse. He notes a negative environment he can experience in church.
It is too head centred, without, he states, the heart and breadth of the unconditional and infinite and love to characterise the God of Jesus the Christ. This is set against Christianity with all its life-denials. Yet he also says there is much in Christian teaching that can enhance life, the source of his faith and the inspiration.
I have much sympathy for this view, but it doesn't quite add up.
It comes down to the question, 'What is Christianity?' I have this argument with others who identify as Unitarians, who also identify as Christian or of Christian sourcing.
For me Christianity is indeed centred in the New Testament and identification with those in the early Church who identified Jesus as the Christ, or the Messiah. This still allows for a highly critical interpretation of the Bible, of both Testaments, with every device in play. It identifies with those who did (and do) turn a Jesus who looked from himself to what he understood as the 'Daddy' God in end times into a cult of personality about Jesus himself, that he is intimately connected with God. So far I have introduced no main doctrines, except for the way the economic trinity was begun in this sense, in the eschatology of those days, in their peculiar cultural supernaturalism.
Now my argument against many Unitarians for example is whether, for them, Jesus is the Christ and they identify with this community and its turn. If they don't, how are they even minimally Christian?
Now Colin still makes this claim, but it rather feels like it is on its last legs. What he is doing is claiming an ethical outpouring from Jesus as the Christ which, for me, is far from demonstrated. How do we know this?
If things are truly evolutionary, then we have an ordinary man in every way, culturally limited, and who has to learn. He can only adopt and adapt to whatever it is that makes him this outpouring of unconditional love. But if I read the texts, he clearly is not doing this outpouring. He is Jewish first, that is his method, and his breadth is corrected, and the universalism is provided by Paul and his cultural crossover. And, in any case, we have only 'difference by degree' by which there is insufficient evidence either about Jesus or anyone else. You see, very soon the principle of unconditional love supersedes anyone who may have it, and no one can have it exclusively. The claim must be ahistorical, become an ideal.
Or else it is based on apriori doctrine, that theology comes before ethics, that the Church determines the reality of the universe especially in ethical terms. Or maybe it comes in the realm of some picture of reality, but only a picture, a kind of mythical bubble, and one superfluous surely to the main point.
But evolution is NOT this wonderful, open, love-encouraging reality. It is, rather, change by death. Things that cope less get overwhelmed by things that cope better, in any environment. What is more interesting, I suggest, is the existence of chaos (in which evolution is one example) followed by systemic interactions of what results. What is more interesting, also, is the beauty of equations, where Paul Dirac can state that the more simple and beautiful an equation, the more likely it is to be really true - not just metaphorically true, but descriptive. That is a very powerful signal of transcendence. Evolution is cruel, chaos is a swirl that can lose many, and yet there is emergent order and simplicity within complexity.
This is not Christian: none of this is Christian. Christianity is, in the end, regulative. It is regulative about the texts on the early Christians; it is about that odd notion Rudolph Bultmann claimed - kerygma. Somehow Christianity is released when it is preached, but along given texts, many of which are ethically harmful. Rowan Williams is one who digs into the tradition and lives within it to make much of it in a critical way without ever dismissing what is harmful. But if you are liberal, like me, you do dismiss what is harmful, and you select from anywhere.
It is really so simple: two men or two women loving each other, as a man to a woman, is evident. It clearly comes within experience, and it is worthy of ritual recognition. It is not for nothing that Yale Postliberalism and Radical Orthodoxy dismiss (or manufacture) experience, as they follow either a regulative path or some narrow Platonic idealism institutionalised. They have retreated into bubbles, but those who experience change cannot retreat into bubbles. Of course a Rowan Williams tries to have it both ways, thus will be in the tradition, criticise it, never drop it, become restrictive as Archbishop, freer and more inclusive when an academic. The latter position becomes a kind of ridiculous lack of discernment. Why does Rowan Williams think that liberalism came to an end point in 1978 or thereabouts? Because the tradition was under threat, whereas Colin knows that the whole 1960s to 1970s made theological discoveries that continue to matter to this day. Indeed so did the liberals much earlier. John A. T. Robinson inspires Colin as he does many still, but J. A. T. R. never went to where truth would lead. He kept starting - a personalist panentheistic theology and biblical conservatism.
More anchors there, and more than Colin shows in his own expansionist theology. I hate postliberalism, Radical Orthodoxy, and whilst I have some time for Rowan Williams, it is ultimately deceptive, the 'as if' history when it is all literature upon literature.
It did not surprise me when Don Cupitt said, 'My critics were right all along,' meaning that he was left without the ability to attach himself to regulative or even high and dry Christianity. He didn't just give up his ministry, but his participation; he reinterpreted Buddhism and adopted a religious humanism and became a Quaker sympathiser. He cannot argue now for any kind of Christianity: he cannot be liturgically conservative and try and make it stand on its head.
The fact that he or I in different ways might use Christian or Christian derived theology to make several points does not make us Christians. As I say, to be a Christian is to identify with the early communities and they both read and formed texts to make this cult of an individual. They effectively created a history of the world by which a God intervenes and sets up means for redemption. I don't believe in that: I believe our world came about through chaotic systems of physics, chemistry and subsequently biology, out of which symbolism and culture came. This Christianity is no more than mythology that gives insights into human anthropology.
I bet this is Colin's view, but as I say he makes a final claim. But devoid of regulative doctrine, devoid of regulative text, there is no basis for that turn into what Christ apparently represents, except by some made-up idealism.
In the end, I'm afraid, the mainstream Churches are doomed to defend and promote their own mythology. From that authoritarianism and infantilism does arise. From that evident love is denied. So why continue to defend the institutional dead-end?
Other than that, I'm with his sentiments and outlook.
Since written, the next day Colin wrote a follow-up that isn't particularly Christcentric or Jesucentric at all but it is entirely consistent with what my response here discusses. He recognises his own revisionism, which is fair enough, although I think (as above) that his stance stretches beyond revisionism.
I seem to be only blogging about politics these days. On religion I seem to be fairly quiet. Take that as a sign of relative contentment. I might nevertheless write something very soon. Politics keeps changing after a seismic shift in the landscape - that's the simple explanation.
Labour's potential split is around the corner and the Tories' in about two years or so. The Tories' split is at the time of the inability of squaring the exit the EU circle, the absence of Parliamentary time and Civil Service resources to come out of the EU, the timing of resisting the-break up of the UK, and the realisation that if Universal Credit - one big change - can't get done successfully in more than a decade then coming out the the EU is nigh on impossible.
The Labour Party has 230 MPs sitting in the House of Commons. Initially, 80% have stated that they have no confidence in the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. 80% is, accurately, 184. When Jeremy Corbyn wins the leadership election, as he will and easily, a good number of those 80% will assess that they had better knuckle under and do no more - say 20% or 46. This leaves 138, and let's suppose they would form some sort of informal opposition.
Why so? Well, because any attempt to get 'The Labour Party' title deeds from the current leadership hasn't go a hope in hell of success, if the election of the leader has been done according to the rules, where the actual membership overwhelmingly chose the leadership.
The 138 might consider approaching the Speaker to claim that they are the real opposition, but only an informal opposition may not be sufficient for the Speaker, who'll go by real title deeds and a demonstrative leadership election. But suppose 46 of them are not happy approaching the speaker.
So 92 we might guess would at least approach the speaker. But at precisely half, the speaker would also dismiss it on the basis of not an overwhelming number of Parliamentarians involved.
So then it comes to the die-hards, the people who have spoken out so much that they really cannot go back on their words, plus those so far from Corbyn ideologically that they have to be otherwise.
So suppose 46 really would not want to split. This leaves 46 remaining. Some number like this could well be the dedicated splitters. In reality, it is probably fewer MPs because this means taking a different name, a different party, a different organisation, and with memories from their parents of those in the SDP.
But it could be more. I don't subscribe to the view that all non-Corbyn MPs are charlatans without principles and would do what it takes to keep their cushy jobs. Plus the necessary follow-through of deselections is going to include those who are known not to fall in and are just tagging along for the time being. So 46.
Some splitters would rather not, of course, and they hope Theresa May calls a General Election by which we can all suffer five more years of Tory government, Labour is wiped out and Corbyn then has to go (but don't you believe it!). Five more years from that membership means a programme of deselections.
So this is how it becomes more than 46, how even a General Election will not save the Labour Party from its leftward move, if indeed 'save' is the correct term. Try 'prevent' instead.
Follow the logic, and the split seems inevitable, because the range of Labour from softer-left to centre-right (let's be honest, some are in the wrong party, pushing its coalition to a ridiculous breadth) will not be compatible with a Momentum-shaped Labour Party. A General Election will not save them and so the rules have to be written from the beginning.
The 46 will look to work with the 8 Liberal Democrats, and may be the Tories' splitting much further down the line. The 46 may want their own identity, but an electoral pact if resisting coming out of the EU with the Liberal Democrats may be essential. There needs to be a clear General Election option of saying this negotiation did not work, is not practical, cannot be done, and therefore staying in the EU, hopefully before Article 50 is invoked.
Strong coming-out Tories will have to argue for invoking Article 50 and doing so on less economic and more cultural-immigration grounds. Tory UKIP, basically. It's not clear who'd split from whom. It could be again that some Tories would split in order to be resisting invoking Article 50. What is clear is that the EU referendum has not solved the Tory Party division. When the facts on the ground speak, the division will be back. For many, the economic option is not good enough, and that division forces an economic option into the EU resistance option. Even a huge Tory majority after a General Election (if it happened) would not save the Tories: it could split so comprehensively that a big majority turns into none.
In any case, four parties as of now cannot operate in a First Past the Post system, because the outcome is a pure lottery. If the main two UK parties split, proportional representation becomes a necessity.

The Majesty of Side-Lit Gravestones | Photo Restorations by Tim G.
The next big thing, not only in my own genealogy, but also for the genealogical research services that I will begin to offer this fall, will be gravestone photos lit from the side by an off-camera flash. I'm hard pressed to imagine a better method for photographing gravestones. This method produces higher contrast without recourse to smearing foreign substances onto the fragile monuments with grubby hands. No chalk, no flour, just pure white light.
What I've collected here is a Nikon P7000 camera with SD card, a Neewer NW-561 Speedlight flash, a Yongnuo RF-602/C wireless flash trigger transmitter and receiver set, a Julius Studio 44″ portable mini tripod, and I've managed to cram it all into a Lowepro Edit 110 carrying case. In practice, the flash gets mounted onto the tripod, which I stand next to the gravestone as I hold the camera to take the the photo.
How well does it work? It took me a little manual browsing and tinkering to set up the external flash. Having managed that, I first tested my equipment at a tiny old cemetery I found on the outskirts of the Wharton State Forest in New Jersey, en route to my recent camping vacation there. St. Mary's in the Pines Catholic Cemetery was the name of it. Success was immediate and gratifying.
For each of the photo sets below, I captured the gravestone using the camera's automatic point-and-shoot setting, typical of the photos normally would have taken. I then took another photo of the gravestone using the off-camera flash technique. For some of the gravestones, I took a third photograph using the camera's built-in flash, which you can see is no proper substitute for placing the flash off-camera, beside the gravestone. The built-in flash actually makes reading the text more difficult.
All of the photos below were taken in the daytime, a little after 4:00 in the afternoon. Using the off-camera flash brightens the foreground and darkens the background.
Each image links to a corresponding memorial on . Click on an image to see the online memorial, where you can compare the side-lit gravestone photos with the images previously uploaded to the memorial. If you would like for me to bring these visual improvements to your genealogy, you may order side-lit gravestone photographs through my Genlighten Store. In the meantime, enjoy these amazing samples.
My only regret is not having conserved enough battery power to photograph the whole cemetery in this manner. After exhausting much of my battery during the camping trip, these were the only photos I was able to capture. Perhaps I'll return to this little cemetery one day. Before then, however, I'd quite like to handle some of your requesrts. Send them on to me at my Genlighten Store, and I'll be happy to oblige!


Screen printing is a printing technique particularly suited for flat or relatively flat surfaces. The heart of the process involves a fine mesh or screen that is tightly stretched around a rigid frame. The areas that are not to be printed are masked out on the screen using emulsion. To create the print, the framed screen is positioned over the item to be printed. A squeegee is then used to press the ink through the screen. The masked areas, coated with emulstion prevent ink from passing through, but the unmasked areas allow the ink to be imprinted on the material. The final step is to send the item on a conveyor belt through a heat-tunnel. This curing process ensures that the inks dry quickly so that they materials can be stacked, packaged and shipped immediately to you!

Column: A bit of good in another awful day for Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods removes his hat after his second round in the U.S. Open golf tournament at Chambers Bay on Friday, June 19, 2015 in University Place, Wash. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (AP) Something good finally happened to Tiger Woods at the U.S. Open on Friday.
He found a golf ball.
It took some digging, but Woods is getting used to that. Still, he seemed a bit startled when someone's long lost Titleist popped off his club as he took a practice swing in the deep rough off the third fairway.
''Can you believe that?'' Woods said, drawing laughs from spectators before picking up the ball and tossing it to his caddie.
Actually, it wasn't that tough to believe. Chambers Bay has some patches of rough where golf balls go and mowers don't.
What was harder to believe was how bad the man who once dominated golf continues to play. Woods not only missed the cut in the Open he's won three times, but did it with barely a whimper.
He imploded early in his opening round on his way to a big, fat 80 that was his worst first-round score on the PGA Tour by three shots. He added a 76 on Friday that was capped by three straight three-putts to finish.
Other than finding a ball, about the only other good news was his private jet was fueled and ready to get him quickly out of town.
''Obviously I need to get better for the British Open,'' Wood said, ''and I'll work on it.''
Just how much of that work is physical and how much mental only Woods knows, and he's not saying. He hit shots at Chambers Bay like the Tiger of old at times, only to follow them with either silly mistakes or mishits that would make a weekend hacker cringe.
The only consistent is that he is terribly inconsistent.
It's almost enough to make you feel sorry for the player once both feared and revered. He has become a sympathetic figure of sorts, with the fans who watched him walk by Friday shouting out words of encouragement.
''Fourteen majors, no worries,'' one yelled out.
''Minor setback for a major comeback,'' screamed another.
With each passing round, though, the comeback seems less certain. Woods remains trapped between swings and no longer has the ability to almost will balls into the hole with his putter in hand.
Worse yet, the player with 14 major titles and 79 PGA Tour wins seems to be paralyzed at times by the fear of bad things happening.
He also remains stuck in the answers he has perfected that don't come close to explaining anything about his perplexing collapse.
''Just continue practicing, continue working on it,'' Woods said. ''And hopefully it will be a little bit better.''
Just how much better it has to get was on display Friday as Woods and playing partner Rickie Fowler set out at double digits over par before they had even hit a shot.
In the group in front of them, Jordan Spieth was adding a nifty 67 to his opening 68 to take the early second-round lead. Woods, who was 15 shots back of the lead when the day began, was 17 behind by the time he made the turn.
When he finished he was a staggering 21 shots back, and so badly whipped that he didn't even try to joke about it like he did the day before.
''On a golf course like this you get exposed and you have to be precise and dialed in,'' Woods said. ''And obviously I didn't have that.''
If there is one side benefit to his struggles it's that Woods has been sufficiently humbled that he has become friendlier with the fellow pros he once mostly ignored. He and Fowler chatted between shots Friday, and Woods said after the round he was going to call Jason Day to see if he was OK after collapsing with apparent vertigo issues.
That's not to say there is a lot of sympathy from competitors who worry more about their own games.
''Wish him the best,'' Spieth said when asked if Woods' woes were a big topic among players. ''But as far as talking about it, no, there's really no murmur, we're just focusing on ourselves.''
Woods will return to play next in the Greenbrier Classic, hoping to regain some of his game before the British Open next month. That's at St. Andrews, where he won in 2000 as part of the Tiger Slam and again in 2005.
It's a course Woods knows and plays well, one where he might have a chance to at least be respectable, much like the Masters earlier this year.
Until then he'll have bad memories of another wasted major, one he knew he had no chance the minute he whiffed on an iron shot on his first hole in the opening round.
About the only thing he can take away from Chambers Bay is one more ball than he arrived with.
This clarifies that 80 was Woods' worst first-round score on PGA Tour.

Hércules Barsotti's Ink Drawings
Christophe Cherix
Twelve ink drawings by Hércules Barsotti explore a radical geometry and a systematic mode of working that, already in 1960, point to a new mode of working for the Brazilian artist.
This text was originally published under the theme "Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Research Institute for the Study of Art from Latin America." The original content items in this theme can be found here.
Hércules Barsotti, Ink Drawing, 1960. Gift of Patricia Phelps de Cisneros through the Latin American and Caribbean Fund in honor of Werner H. [Wynn] Kramarsky. The Museum of Modern Art.
Hércules Barsotti, who belonged to a generation of great artists from Brazil, traveled extensively in Europe at multiple times, first in the late 1940s and then again throughout the 1950s, when he met a figure who would become foundational to his practice and those of many of his peers, Max Bill. In 1954 Barsotti opened a graphic design studio in São Paolo with his life partner Willys de Castro (whose achievements sometimes overshadowed his own), but he remained committed to his art. In the 1950s his work turned to a radical geometry that is devoid of any trace of his hand or brush and is simplified to the extreme.
The twelve drawings coming to MoMA from the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros might be among his greatest works. Each drawing is made of two or three lines originating from either opposite angles or opposites edges of the paper. Upon closer inspection, you'll see that these lines not only never intersect but also run parallel in their last segment, creating the impression of shifting planes. These works represent multiple variations of the same idea. As a whole, the series seems already to point to a new mode of working, in which the artist exhausted the possibilities generated by a system, an idea that would become increasingly popular among other artists in the second half of the 1960s.

As part of getting my USAA Cadet Loan under $10,000, my student loan balance is now under $40,000! You can see the screen shot on the left from Mint.com.
I'm pleased with the progress I've made since graduating in 2010. It's been a long road to this point and I'm still not half way done. It's easy to get discouraged sometimes, but I have got to remember that staying focused on killing this debt is going to be extremely liberating in 3 years.
I'm currently making 50% more than the minimum required payments, which will pay the debt off 5 years earlier than originally scheduled, saving me over $4000 in interest payments. Once the debt is paid off, a quarter of my monthly cash flow will be freed up, allowing me to start building up the savings it will require to be financially independent by the age of 40.
While I'm aggressively attacking my student loan debt, I'm also maxing out my Roth IRA this year, saving for some vacations (Australia maybe?!), paying myself (and wife!) first, and enjoying life. I think it's easy to get burned out when you have an all consuming goal, like paying down tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt. I'd rather enjoy life a little but still make extra payments. I accept the fact that debt repayment is a marathon, not a sprint.
How about you? How do you approach debt repayment, especially when you known that even if you making double payments it's still going to take years to pay off your debt?


Happy employees mean happy customers. Diversification focuses on treating everyone with respect. And when employees feel respected and appreciated, they are more likely to be happy in the workplace. Pairing an employee with a job that suits them is another way to empower your workforce. Symphony Placements matches candidates with the positions that are the best fit for their skills.
In order to hire diverse talent, you have to make the position and your company appealing to them.

Let the experts at Symphony Placements handle the recruiting process for you; we'll find you diverse candidates who are excited to work for you company. We use our marketing and recruiting expertise and diversification strategies to find just the right candidates.
