Best UK Wedding Photographers

Wedding photograph

Probably the most important photos taken of the two of you as a couple, you want to have the best wedding photographs to mark the occasion. Here we list 10 of the best UK wedding photographers talking about their own work so you can look at their websites and decide which of these award-winning wedding photographers is best for you.

Wedding couple

Kevin Mullins

My wedding photographs aim to be snapshots of genuinely tender moments in time. I use small cameras and just natural light which means that the client can completely forget about me. I don’t want the wedding day to look like a fashion shoot, what’s important to me is that the photographs can be looked at far into the future for the expression of unstructured moments with people as they truly are. My role is an observer, I'm not at a wedding to make memories, I'm there to capture them.

Alan Hutchison Photography

Alan Hutchison and Morag Hutchison are a husband and wife team with a portrait studio in Stirling, Scotland. The couple have won countless awards for their work. We’re a little different in that we roll documentary, traditional and contemporary style all into one. Our real focus is our couple shots, where we really aim for a picture the happy couple will be delighted to hang proudly at home.

Jeff and Sarah Ascough

Offering world class, unobtrusive wedding photography and the very best customer service over two decades, this multi-award winning couple has earned international acclaim from a broad range of famous names. Travelling the world to cover more than 1500 weddings to date, Jeff and Sarah cover every wedding together with Jeff's images bringing together geometry and rhythm, light and composition whereas Sarah's fascination with people is reﬂected in her multi-layered compositions which often contain humour and juxtaposition.

Neale James

With a background in broadcasting I can stay calm in times of high energy and focus, like weddings. I fully understand the importance of family portraits and like getting results to create a great legacy. I usually use a photojournalist style to document your day, which means I don’t orchestrate or change the truth of the day. My unique selling point is that I create photo-films that include sound from the day to go with the stills.

Ross Harvey

Twice winner of the Best Wedding Photographer in England and still the top UK Fearless Photographer, Ross offers couples a genuine, heartfelt story of their wedding day and does this creatively and beautifully. Ross says, the awards acknowledge my constant drive to achieve, refine and develop. At every wedding I treat couples and guests as old friends, and do my very best to showcase their weddings through an artistic and honest vision.

Allister Freeman

A professional photographer for well over a decade, I’ve shot hundreds of weddings of all faiths and cultures at home and abroad. My style is a highly distinct form of honest and authentic coverage. I like to combine good composition with observation and storytelling.

Jamie Bott

A full-time professional wedding photographer since 2007, I have won Select’s Wedding Photographer of the Year and Best Wedding Image of the Year in the same year and in 2014 I was ranked as Fearless Photographers’ Best UK Wedding Photographer and Best English Wedding Photographer for 18 months. My style is to creatively document a wedding, turning my clients most cherished memories into unique timeless photographic artworks that are both dynamic and visually interesting and that will be treasured always.

Wedding rings

Elton Mogg

My first career was in TV & Video Production and I believe this background in storytelling has helped me develop my own unique style of wedding photography. I have attended weddings across Europe and the UK and won various International Wedding Photography awards. I love spending capturing a unique day and then providing my clients with a beautiful way to access those memories again.

Weddings Vintage: Harriet & Hayley

Named a global 'Rising Star of Wedding Photography' Harriet and Hayley at Weddings Vintage is one of the pioneers in modern vintage wedding photography providing cinematic photography in a natural, relaxed style, capturing the day as a unique documentary. We see each wedding day as a new adventure, with a story to be told without clichés. Our soulful photography celebrates your identity and personality, your love and that of your family and friends.

Yvonne Lishman

Voted one of the 100 Best Wedding Photographers in the World and one of the UK’s Top Ten Quirky and Creative Wedding Photographers, all for doing a job I love. I like to be creative and spontaneous and have fun. What's going on is what's real, and how it was. Couples who book me say they love the laid back, fun and unusual way I see things.

Great Gifts for Photographers

Gifts for photographers

Photography can be an expensive hobby when you factor in the lenses, computer software, lighting kits and an upgraded camera doesn’t come cheap either. Knowing the specific item to get for your photographer when thinking of ideas for gifts is not simple. There are so many accessories available, but it’s easy to make a mistake and find out your gifts are not compatible with their equipment. You can of course ask precisely what it is they would like as gifts, but if you would prefer an element of surprise we’ve listed some practical ideas that we believe any photographer will enjoy, as they let them display their artistic passion in creative ways.

Photo scanner

Before digital cameras, thousands of people managed to take a lot of photos. Now it is possible to scan old 35mm slide and film and create digital versions with high resolution for clear pictures. Photo scanners will digitise all film and also all prints. Most scanners provide photo-friendly features, such as high resolution and the ability to scan transparencies such as slides and negatives in addition to photo prints. Some scanners also include software to help retouch and remove scratches. Though geared to photo scanning, most photo scanners can also be used for general-purpose scanning, and some include optical character recognition software. This is one of the best gifts for older people who can introduce the younger generation to pictures from their younger days.

Smartphone Film Photo Scanner

A simpler version of a scanner that does not cost so much, but still allows the sharing of film negatives with friends and family, is a smartphone film photo scanner. All you need to do is insert the film into the scanner, turn on the device’s back-light and start snapping photos of the negative with the smartphone’s camera. This device also comes with a free app that allows you to edit images before uploading them to social media.

For the first part of see my post on Thursday, 6 September 2007: The Narrow Path to Publishers.

Well finished my foray into the world of Quite enjoyed it, had to read lots of extracts from other authors some not so good, some brilliant.

Overall The Dandelion Tree got the following rating:

Specific scores were:

The best position achieved in their chart was 22 out of 75.

The marks were compiled from 8 reviews.

One review listed in my previous post on YouWriteOn which didn't like the book turned out to have scored me one star on almost everything, which I queried with YouWriteOn and they deleted that review and score from the book.

Scores from people who state a preference for literary fiction :

In both cases the lowest score is the plot. Unfortunately the scores are done on the first three chapters, and the plot doesn't clearly emerge in my book until later.

Here are 2 comments that I found useful:

"I was completely taken with this. The writing is flawless, the imagery way up and beyond anything I could write. The prologue alone (especially the first paragraph) stands to be read and reread again and again as beguiling poetry. The idea of the dancing train carrying the overfed buttocks, the alarm clock made of sheets of paper... all wonderful. I am afraid my knowledge of the Old Testament is so rusty I missed out on most of the "significance", but I would not dare mark you down. A quite magical read which I am afraid many reviewers may dispute as it does not cut to any chase, and it doesn't do it fast enough. All 4s and 5s from me. One slight quibble. Lightening should be lightning. Or, again, perhaps I am missing something."

"This is beautiful prose written by a passionate writer who is seriously interested in The Bible; I gave up counting at Bible-reference #16. This alone is worhy of a bestseller, but the rest gets confusing. I can see that the writer is trying to create a sub-genre of his own, and he will almost certainly find a select audience for it; but I was waiting for a tighter thread to connect these colourful strands of story. I didn't mind the coincidences - Isaac and Jane work for Tamarisk, are on the same train and begin a conversation...yes, it could happen; but for my taste the story is not driven forward fast enough. Lots of beautiful words with seemingly no connection, and the story progress is hindered by seemingly unrelated events. I am obviously not a professional critic, and would ask you to take my words with a pinch of salt. Good luck with your project."

So there we go.

I would recommend this to other writers, it was fun and gave me some useful feedback on my work as to what type of audience will like it.

Hey congratulations - the reviews are quite positive. Wishing you all the best!

Thanks Amber!

GeorgieBuns said...

Only problem with this site is that they don't seem to distinguish between the gender of their reviewers. I am a female who has written a book about a young girl's coming of age, aimed at a female readership. I have had twelve good reviews, but all by men. This limits the usefullness of the website for me.

Hi Georgiebuns:

I'll feedback your comments to the You Write On team.

Good luck with your book and thanks for dropping by!

Mill Creek MetroParks to open new wet playground in time for Memorial Day weekend

Ribbon cutting today at Wick recreation area

By Jordyn Grzelewski

Mill Creek MetroParks will kick off Memorial Day weekend by opening a new area for its visitors.

Park officials, community leaders and people involved in the project will gather at the James L. Wick Jr. Recreation Area off McCollum Road at 2 p.m. today for a ribbon-cutting ceremony that marks the grand opening of a wet playground at the Juliana Kurinka Children’s Play Area.

“It’s going to be exciting. It’ll be that regional draw that we want the Wick Recreation Area to be,” said Justin Rogers, MetroParks planning manager. “It provides families with another opportunity to experience Mill Creek MetroParks, and we’re looking forward to having a really fun, exciting summer at the play area.”

Work began in April on the $80,079 project. The contract was awarded to Daniel A. Terreri & Sons.

The addition of the wet playground caps off a plan developed several years ago to renovate the children’s play area. Three other parts of the playground previously were completed. The play area featured a wet-play component for many years, but that was removed when work began to revamp the area.

“The original playground featured a concrete basin with four sprays and was very popular,” Rogers said. “The introduction of the wet playground is more interactive. There are features for different ages. It brings colors and excitement to the playground, and really fits in nicely with the scale of the other three components of the play area.”

The project is part of the $29 million capital-improvements plan the MetroParks is undertaking over the next 15 years, with $3.2 million of that slated to take place this year.

Representatives of the companies involved in the project, park board members, Mahoning County Probate Judge Robert N. Rusu Jr., Mayor John A. McNally, city Councilman Mike Ray, D-4th, members of the park foundation, past park board members, the owner of Fitness Together, and a representative of the Rocky Ridge Neighborhood Association are invited to participate in today’s event.

'Crazy Rich Asians" surprises with No. 1 spot again

Associated Press

The opening weekend for “Crazy Rich Asians” was historic. Its second weekend was even more impressive.

The romantic comedy sensation slid just 6 percent from its chart-topping debut to again lead the box office with $25 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. Almost as many people turned out over the weekend for “Crazy Rich Asians” as they did for its opening Friday-to-Sunday bow — an unheard of hold for a non-holiday release. Drops of close to 50 percent are common for wide releases.

But propelled by enthusiastic reviews and an eagerness for a major Hollywood film led by Asian stars, “Crazy Rich Asians” is showing almost unprecedented legs. After opening last weekend with $35.3 million from Wednesday to Sunday and $26.5 million over the weekend, the Warner Bros. release — the first Hollywood studio movie in 25 years with an all-Asian cast — has already grossed $76.8 million.

The adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel, starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding, was helped by weak competition. STX Entertainment’s critically slammed R-rated puppet caper “The Happytime Murders” debuted with $10.1 million, a career-low wide release for star Melissa McCarthy. The robot-dog fantasy “A.X.L.,” from the beleaguered Global Road Entertainment, flopped with $2.9 million.

But the talk of the weekend was the sustained success of “Crazy Rich Asians,” which grossed approximately the same from one Saturday to the next.

“I’ve been telling my team that Big Foot sightings are more common than zero percent Saturday drops,” said Jeff Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros.

Goldstein noted that after a 44 percent Asian-American audience over opening weekend, that percentage fell to 27 percent on the second weekend while Caucasian and Hispanic ticket buyers grew. “The audience is broadening,” he said.

The remarkable hold left many in Hollywood searching for comparisons. While such slim drops or second-week increases regularly happen over holiday weekends , you have to go back to the likes of “The Sixth Sense” (-3.4 percent in August 1999) and “The Fugitive” (-5.6 percent in August 1993) to find something similar.

There are a few other stray examples of movies that held so well without adding substantially more theaters like “Brother Bear,” “Puss in Boots” and “Mother’s Day,” but that’s about it. Even “The Help,” which also opened mid-August, slid 23.1 percent in 2011 on its way to $169.7 million domestically and four Oscar nominations including best picture — a path that’s not out of the question for “Crazy Rich Asians.”

“There’s no greater indicator of the enthusiasm of an audience than a minimal drop in a second weekend,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “This isn’t the product of opening-weekend hype. This is the product of a great movie resonating very strongly with all audiences. The movie has become a cultural phenomenon.”

“Crazy Rich Asians” also expanded internationally, though with a more muted effect. It grossed an estimated $6 million in 18 markets, including $1.8 million on 105 screens in Singapore, where much of the movie is set. “Crazy Rich Asians” hasn’t yet been granted a release in China, where Disney’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp” opened over the weekend and collected $68 million, pushing its global gross to $544.1 million.

“The Happytime Murders,” which cost approximately $40 million to make, came into the weekend with some of the worst reviews of the year (22 percent “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes) despite the pedigree of the Jim Henson Company. Brian Henson, the chairman of the company and son of Jim Henson, directed the raunchy Los Angeles detective tale, a kind of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” for puppets. It’s the second straight disappointment for STX, which has also seen its Mark Wahlberg thriller “Mile 22” underperform. With $6 million in its second week, it has been thoroughly trounced by “Crazy Rich Asians,”

In limited release, the low-budget John Cho-starring thriller “Searching” landed a $28,000 per-screen average with $250,000 in nine theaters.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

  1. “Crazy Rich Asians,” $25 million ($6 million international).

  2. “The Meg,” $13 million ($32.7 million international).

  3. “The Happytime Murders,” $10 million ($1.2 million international).

  4. “Mission: Impossible — Fallout,” $8 million ($13 million international).

  5. “Christopher Robin,” $6.3 million ($5.9 million international).

  6. “Mile 22,” $6 million ($5.7 million international).

  7. “Alpha,” $5.6 million ($6.7 million international).

  8. “BlacKkKlansman,” $5.3 million ($5.6 million international).

  9. “A.X.L.,” $2.9 million.

  10. “Slender Man,” $2.8 million ($5.8 million international).

Boardman trustees get fire station update

BOARDMAN — Although the contractor building a new main fire station is asking to extend the completion date, township officials plan to push for a date closer to the current March deadline.

Township trustees received an update on the project at a meeting today. Although J. Herbert Construction, the project’s primary contractor, is pushing for a May 11 deadline, township officials indicated they would not agree to that at this point.

Fire Chief Mark Pitzer said a redesign of trusses required pushing an earlier deadline into March, and the township is pushing to keep to that schedule.

Trustees also received a report on an upcoming change order that will be required due to design omissions.

The original design misplaced a compressor and did not include gas lines for the laundry room or kitchen stove, Pitzer said. He said the changes will be minor.

The project cost, including all approved change orders, is $3,598,799.

The new fire station is located at Market Street and Stadium Drive.

It will replace the station on U.S. Route 224 across from California Avenue.

$12K in jewelry, coins reported stolen on S. Side

The resident called several locations and discovered that a gas station had taken a silver dollar Friday morning, so police were going to follow up to determine whether the coin was one of the those stolen from the home.

Australian Visa Bureau   »   Visas and Immigration   »   Australia Skilled Migration   »   Australia Skilled Visa Requirements   »  Visa Health Requirements

Visa Health Requirements

Visa Bureau is not affiliated with the Australian Government but is an independent UK company. Australian visas are available from the Australian Government at a lower cost or for free when you apply directly. Our comprehensive visa and immigration services include immigration advice from registered migration agents, an exceptional success rate, document checking and visa processing.

Visa applicants looking to migrate to Australia under the Skilled Migration route must undergo a medical examination and successfully meet the requirements set out by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) before a visa will be granted.

The Australian Government insist on a medical examination to protect the country from high health risks and protect against a high demand on health resources, including cost. These are some of the factors taken into account when assessing medical results for all applicants.

Visa Application Medical Examination

The request to undertake a medical examination will come from DIBP and the results are valid for one year. In the case of a visa application being delayed beyond 12 months, the applicant may be required to undergo a further health examination at their own expense.

To satisfy the health requirements under the Skilled Migration programme, a medical examination, chest x-ray and possibly some laboratory or specialist tests are required.  If applying for permanent residency a HIV test will also be required.

All applicants for permanent residency, including the main applicant, spouse and any dependants, must be assessed against the health requirement.  Even if the applicants spouse and any children are not included in the application they are still required to be assessed.

If applying from outside Australia, the medical examination must be undertaken by an approved Panel Doctor. Residents of the United Kingdom and Ireland will usually a panel doctor within their region, whilst residents of other countries may have to travel to a capital city to find a panel doctor.

The decision as to whether or not an applicant meets the health requirement is not made by the examining doctor.  The results are sent to DIBP who then consider them and make a recommendation.   If DIBP require an applicant to undertake further specific medical tests and/or treatment, they department will advise them in writing.

Children under the age of 11 are not required to undertake chest x-rays. Copies of immunisation records will be required for all children under 16 years.

Tuberculosis (TB)

Australia is particularly vigilant against the spread of tuberculosis and screen all potential migrants and their families for TB.  If tuberculosis is detected it will not necessarily lead to application being automatically rejected, but the application process will only proceed after treatment has been undertaken and retesting has shown the applicant to be clear of the disease.

All applicants for permanent residency in Australia aged 15 and over are required to undergo HIV testing. Applicants under 15 must also undergo HIV testing if they have a history of blood transfusions, are being adopted or have other clinical indications.

Applicants for temporary residency are not normally required to undergo HIV testing except if the examining doctor decides it is indicated.

There is nothing in current Australian legislation that automatically excludes HIV infected applicants from being granted a visa under the Skilled Migration route, but DIBP will determine whether the applicant will require the future use of significant medical resources and incur costs on the public health system. If they believe this to be the case then the application will be refused.

If you are pregnant, you are advised not to be x-rayed until after the birth of your baby. DIBP may not be able to finalise your visa application until after the child is born.

Australian health authorities do not consider the risk of hepatitis transmission from migrants to be high but screening for hepatitis B and C is still required in certain cases, such as when an applicant is pregnant or they are a visa applicant intending to work as a doctor, nurse or dentist in Australia. Hepatitis B will be tested for all applicants with tattoos or body piercings.

Civil War trove set for Sotheby's auction

Jun 16, 2011 12:22:00 PM - thestate.com
Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee characterized Virginia's Civil War secession as a revolution and President Abraham Lincoln uncharacteristically scolded a couple for their lack of loyalty to the Union cause in letters scheduled to be sold at auction.

The letters, along with a trove of Civil War treasures that includes the opera glasses Lincoln carried into Ford's Theatre the night of his assassination, will be up for bidding Friday at Sotheby's, the New York auction house.

The opera glasses could fetch up to $700,000. The Lincoln letter, which was never mailed, is notable for its fiery tone and Lee's because it lays bare the gravity of his decision to stand by his beloved Virginia as it bolted from the North.

Lee and Lincoln were among the defining personalities of the Civil War, which is being recalled during 150th anniversary commemorations.

"I think you have to say that Lincoln is the principal figure in the North, and I do think most people, if asked, would come up with Lee in the South," said Selby Kiffer, international senior specialist in books and manuscripts for Sotheby's.

Fundamentals of Estate Planning in San Antonio, Texas

Serving Individuals and Families in the San Antonio, Texas Area

Establishing an estate plan is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loves ones in the event of your incapacity or upon your death. Proper estate planning is one of the greatest acts of love toward your family. Careful planning spares your loved ones the expense, delay and frustration associated with the failure to plan. This planning spares your loved ones the expense, delay and frustration associated with managing your affairs when you pass away or become incapacitated.

The following will inform you on the misconceptions of Trusts in general.

On a very basic level, a living trust is an alternate way of owning assets such as cash, stocks, bonds, real estate and personal property. As an estate planning tool, it allows one to maintain privacy and avoid the expense and inconvenience of guardianship and probate. You decide who safeguards and manages the trust should you become incapacitated, thus avoiding guardianship. With your assets in a trust, they automatically go to your beneficiaries when you die.

A will is a legal document that instructs how your property is to be distributed after your death. It may also designate guardians for your minor children. Unfortunately, your will does not save your estate from passing through the process of probate before it can be distributed to your heirs.

The advantages and reasons of a revocable living trust versus having only a will are illustrated below:

A Will A Trust
Does not provide direction or control the event of lifetime incapacity Prevents court control of your assets during incapacity
Becomes public record when probated Provides maximum privacy and requires more effort and expense for disgruntled heirs to challenge
Is more easily contested by disgruntled heir Requires more effort and expense for disgruntled heirs to challenge
Probate provides an easy place for creditors to make claim gains Creditors must initiate claim proceedings on their own.
Is effective only upon death Is effective immediately

What are the Components of a Revocable Living Trust?

While trusts are important when it comes to estate planning, they are sometimes misunderstood. Let’s debunk some common misconceptions: trusts are not only for the wealthy and they’re not used to “hide assets” so as to avoid estate or income taxes . . . they are not expensive to set up . . .  and they do not prevent you from using your assets once they’re in the trust.

Power of Attorney for Property. This legal document allows you to give legal authority to a person or organization (sometimes called “the attorney-in-fact” or “agent”) to handle your business affairs and other issues while you’re unavailable or unable to do so. The exact scope of the power given is spelled out in the document. The problem with a Power of Attorney is that no one is required to accept it. Many times, upon incapacity, an agent is stunned to discover that a financial institution arbitrarily decides not to honor it. At that point, guardianship may be the only option.

Health Care Directives. Using a Health Care Power of Attorney – allows you to appoint the persons you have selected to make emergency medical decisions. A Directive to Physician or “Living Will” allows you to choose your end of life decisions – whether to be kept alive at all costs, or to be allowed to die as gently as possible.

Everyone age 18 and older needs to have this fundamental legal document signed, a copy on file with their physician, and a copy given to each of their appointed agents.

HIPAA Authorization. This document should be a prominent part of your health care directive. It is your authorization for named persons to view your medical records and discuss your care with medical providers. Without this document or specific authorization, there is the possibility your doctor may decide not to speak to your designated health care agent.

The Yale Model United Nations (YMUN)

The Yale Model United Nations conference, held annually in the Spring semester, is attended by over 600 secondary school students from around the world. YMUN’s intent is to serve many purposes in educating its delegates. First, YMUN works to provide secondary school students with an opportunity to learn about international relations and to experience the international negotiation process first-hand. Being a good delegate requires learning good public speaking skills, rules of procedure, and knowing how to negotiate positions on often complicated issues. Second, by having students represent various countries and policy positions, YMUN forces delegates to research, prepare, and present arguments which may be contrary to their own personal assessment of the issue being discussed. This provides an opportunity to look at the issue from a different perspective, taking into account different cultures, political ideologies, and economic situations. YIRA feels that breaking down stereotypes and misinformation is imperative to making delegates critical thinkers, and allows them to better understand the complex relationships between domestic culture, politics, and economics in forming national policies. It is the hope of YIRA that through such contact with divergent viewpoints, delegates will better understand the positions, and most importantly the reasons behind the positions, of UN Member States and their governments. Third, YMUN views itself as an excellent forum in which Yale students can learn about international relations as well as gain practical conference organization skills. With a staff of over 70 Yale students, YMUN engages almost the entire YIRA membership. Conference administration, event-planning, advanced computer work, publishing, graphic design, public relations are areas where YMUN provides Yale students practical, hands-on training.

The first Yale Model United Nations conference was held in 1974 and consisted of only an International Court of Justice and a Security Council. Currently, YMUN has expanded to 11 committees of various sizes and topics, and draws delegates from four continents and such diverse countries as Bolivia, France, Ghana, and Panama. At one point YMUN held over 800 delegates, but this was seen as being simply too large and was affecting the quality of the conference. Therefore YMUN has become much more selective in recent years, allowing only the best schools from around the world to participate. This smaller size, of approximately 600 delegates, allows YIRA to organize a very high-quality conference, which promotes a better committee environment and more efficient conference administration.

"We already have the demand for Metrolink here, but we've never been able to bring it here because traversing the Cajon Pass."

VICTORVILLE — The joint powers authority at the helm of a bold multi-modal transportation link between the Victor and Antelope valleys has most recently been studying extending Metrolink service from Palmdale to the region here.

In this scenario, which would appear to be only at the earliest stages of vetting, stations would be built in Adelanto and Victorville, according to Ryan McEachron, the special projects coordinator for the High Desert Corridor.

"We already have the demand for Metrolink here, but we've never been able to bring it here because traversing the Cajon Pass," McEachron said. "One, you've got to be able to deal with BNSF and they don't want to give up any of their rail and, secondly, the grade coming up the Cajon Pass would make that train ride too long to make sense."

But expanding the regional passenger rail system atop the flat terrain between the Victor and Antelope valleys is more viable, he said, enabling trains to reach top speeds of more than 100 mph.

The exploration of the Metrolink option comes as groundwork continues on the deeply ambitious 63-mile connection between the two adjacent valleys with a toll freeway planned up to four lanes in each direction.

Arguably the most alluring component to the corridor is a privately funded high-speed rail by developer XpressWest that would bridge Las Vegas and Victorville, and later Los Angeles. The project also calls for an XpressWest extension between Victorville and Palmdale and the rail figures to ultimately connect to Gov. Jerry Brown’s hallmark bullet train.

Yet with Metrolink already in existence from L.A. through Santa Clarita and into Palmdale, corridor officials are at least intrigued by its potential to enter into the Victor Valley too.

While McEachron did not offer further details into that strategy, he did tell a small crowd at the Victor Valley Rotary Club last week of the corridor's general overall progress.

"I mean this would be a huge benefit obviously to the Victor Valley, just from a construction job standpoint," he said, "but long term the development that would occur in and around the corridor on this end as you get closer to the 15 freeway would be huge."

The entire 63 miles is being mapped out as officials identify owners of private property between the two valleys that must be secured as part of right-of-way acquisition efforts. McEachron said it's largely open land with few homes and businesses.

As integral to acquisition will be preserving the right of way through General Plans of each entity represented along the corridor, including San Bernardino and L.A. counties and the cities of Victorville, Adelanto and Palmdale.

Officials are also involved in trying to obtain a record of decision from the Federal Railroad Administration, which would enable them to move ahead with building the rail component.

The environmental impact report is already completed — having cost $30 million over five years, a sliver of the project's estimated $8 billion price tag. But at least one environmental group has sued to block the project, contending the freeway will destroy remaining habitat and open space, generate more traffic and pollution and strain fragile water supply as anticipated new developments are erected.

A ridership study focused on the XpressWest venture projected $1.6 billion in revenue on competitive fares amid 14 million roundtrips by 2050, which McEachron said was indicative that high-speed rail can turn a profit.

With less motorists on the road, he added, traffic congestion and gas emissions would also be reduced.

He drew the distinction between the private endeavor — which is seeking a government loan to start — and the governor's voter-approved rail system that is billions of dollars over budget and roiled by political discord. The suggestion is, one does not rely on the other.

For the corridor project as a whole, officials have initiated talks with experienced private sector firms in Spain, Canada and England, "but nothing (is) concrete at this time," McEachron said.

The involvement of the private sector has been positioned as essential to the corridor's survival by political leaders who support it and McEachron said federal money would be leveraged to entice such investment.

"I will tell you that High Desert Corridor, the actual highway, will not be built," McEachron said, "unless there is private sector at the table and they are participating in a big way."

Officials recently applied for a $1 billion state grant and additional funding options include tax increment financing districts, half-cent sales tax measures like M in L.A. County and I in San Bernardino County and the possibility of infrastructure money flowing through a proposed Trump administration package, although it's unlikely to pass this year.

McEachron said the corridor could also receive funds through rail-access fees and leasing the rights to rail built between Palmdale and Victorville to Metrolink, XpressWest or whoever might use it.

He said the state of Nevada had been engaged to consider a partnership agreement due to the large benefit the state would receive from a bigger outpouring of traffic.

Measure M, the half-cent sales tax for infrastructure approved by L.A. County voters in 2016, is expected to kick in $170 million for the project.

Unlike this county's Measure I, Measure M does not sunset and McEachron hinted that officials here could push for a similar perpetuity tax in 2020 or to at least extend Measure I beyond its 2040 expiration.

McEachron, who was hired by the eight-member joint powers authority last fall — an appointment scrutinized by some — to act as an inter-governmental relations advocate, also announced he will be stepping down at the end of March, which is three months before his contract is up.

He attributed wanting to spend more time with his family and the pressures of running his own insurance business as the reasons behind the exit, saying whoever next takes the torch will likely be required to pledge a full-time commitment.

PRESS RELEASE: Finals preperations
Coach DaBlackSkull has had his team preparing at full throttle for the upcoming final against the Frenchmen. His player have been advised that during the match they will not only have to defend the areas around them but the space above needs to be monitored. Many of the players have been working on variations of a jumping uppercut motion.

Further to this the coach has enlisted the help of the crowd and will be handing out generous portions of expensive cheese to Redrums fans hoping that the pungent odor will distract the frenchies into not seeing oncoming blocks and maybe even entice them into going near the sidelines.

Overall Coach DaBlackSkull is looking forward to the finals series and has promised the team if they win this match all the players will get to feast on frog legs from all the fallen Frenchies :)

Billy Sanders Given letter of warning
Redrum's Coach has issued a letter of warning to the teams quarterback Billy Sanders (and by letter of warning I mean the whole team got a free punch on him at the end of their last match.) The match was hard fought but the Redrum had the upper hand in the second half. All they needed for a win was Billy to go get the ball from the open and pass it to an awaiting blitzer ready to score (also in the open). The fool having had a good match decided to be a show boat and tried to flick the ball up with his feet into his hands which ended up with the ball still on the ground and egg on his face. The next game against the rams he will have a chance to redeem himself or receive further beatings...

Let (Inner) Freedom Ring

In an outer world rife with conflict, I've been pondering the word freedom. What does it mean to feel, experience and enjoy true freedom?  How do we even (at times) take it for granted? And doesn't an experiential understanding of freedom, like all true treasures, start from within?

I know that I am fortunate to have the ability to experience a sense of outer freedom that lends itself to an even greater exploration of its inner counterpart.

But what does it look like to consider finding and celebrating this concept in a modern life?

One such way is to explore it through the lens of the "Four Freedoms" FDR spoke of in 1941: the freedom of speech/expression, the freedom to worship God in one's own way, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Let's address them each in turn.

Freedom of Speech/Expression | Are you being honest with yourself and others? Are you standing up for your beliefs and values? Have you taken the time to even identify what those are? And how do you express yourself creatively? Are you engaged in things for the simple sake of enjoyment and expression?

Freedom to Worship God | For so many of us, any sort of spirituality has been relegated to an hour or so a week (or less). How can we find more of the divine in our DAILY lives and how can we celebrate it? What does worshiping that great cosmic creative force look like to you? Does it mean really enjoying the understanding of intricate scientific concepts about the universe? Does it mean planting or procuring flowers to celebrate the majesty of mother earth? Does it mean meditating to find that quiet (and quite divine) place within?

Freedom from Want | Are my wants actually aligned with my values? Are they my own? And am I in a place where I can be grateful for what I already DO have - thus freeing myself of the insatiable hunger of unsatisfied wanting?

Freedom from Fear | Can I find a way to turn off the fear-mongering noise of the media? Have I prioritized strategies for mental resilience and rest when fear or anxiety mount? And am I bold enough to recognize when my fears are spinning out of control, and question them or find the people and resources to help me do just that?

I work with clients every single day to tap into the experience of the various aforementioned freedoms. But I'm noticing that so many of us, given these gifts, accidentally squander them.

We squander the prioritization, the gratitude, and the love of the freedoms in our life. Like the freedom to choose our career, our friends, or our beloved. We squander the ability to release the mental guilt or shame from parents or culture about this freedom. We squander our free ability to wake up early and meditate, or reflect, or dance, or enjoy the simple pleasures of good nourishment.

Perhaps worst of all, we squander that great freedom of being alive - in a body, on this planet, in a place perfectly positioned for greater evolution of spirit. We squander it by focusing on the burdens over the blessings. Or forgetting that we - in most cases - aren't being forced against our will into a life we hate. We have a choice - to find more freedom of mind, more freedom of connection, and freedom of passions in a career that truly lights us up.

Those of us lucky enough to have such wide freedom of choice need the reminder to utilize it.

There are parts of the planet that aren't afforded this great luxury. Many live in places of struggle and hardship and are forced to only explore the glimmers of an inner freedom.

As we are afforded both, my prayer, my wish, and my dream is that we remember said freedoms. We honor the notion of acting like it. We love, treasure, and nurture it. We heal ourselves with it. And then, when we're filled with that extraordinary brilliance of inner and outer freedom, we share it with others.

Crimes Against Fashion #1

This week, we bid farewell to Brian M. Bendis's current run on New Avengers.  For years and years, I was exclusively a follower of merry mutants in the X-Men.  However, Marvel's marketing machine worked.  House of M made me notice these other strange heroes, none of whom had an X-gene.  I was hooked.  I became an Avengers fan too.

I have all sorts of positive things to say about this special finale issue.  It wrapped up nearly every lose end, hit all the right notes, had great art and was just plain fun to read.  It was also especially gratifying to see my favorite Avenger, Ms. Marvel, take down Count Nefaria almost single-handedly and finally earn some spotlight time as a certified heavy-hitter.  However, what I really want to bring some attention to is Stuart Immonen's final two-page spread:

It was a breath of fresh air to see all of our favorite heroes taking a moment to enjoy their lives and go play in a park without having to deal with all of the stress and strife of the superlife.  What I truly appreciated, however, was the wardrobe choices.  Comics have a long history of putting many of their female heroes in positively atrocious civilian clothes.  The two most common sins are either outfits that are so revealing to the point of being trashy, or outfits that look like they've come off of a runway show that no real woman would actually ever wear.  And yet in this spread, all four of the Avengers ladies look casual, yet fashionable... and devastatingly normal.

In fact, the outfits that Immonen selected for Mockingbird (skinny jeans and ballet flats) and Jessica Jones (boot-cut with sandals) look remarkably like my own day-to-day wardrobe.  And that long-sleeved top with the extraneous drawstrings that Mockingbird is wearing?  I own that in purple.

I do have to pick on Ms. Marvel and Spider-Woman a bit, though.  A cute top and skirt is very normal for casual fashion nowadays.  I have tops like Carol is wearing in several colors and Jessica Drew's button-down will never go out of style.  There is still a rub (probably literally), though:

Who wears high heels for a walk in the park?!

They are very nice heels.  They're basic, practical and contemporary.  But seriously, there is not a pair of heels in existence that is ideal for a long walk. This did make me think a bit, however.  I've always imagined that there's all kinds of little side-effects to having super powers that most don't think about.  Carol Danvers is largely invulnerable.  This means that there probably isn't a shoe in the world that will give her blisters.  No little straps will cut her feet.  A rolled ankle won't do a bit of damage.  She can survive the experience of Count Nefaria AND any pair of cute, but normally torturous Jimmy Choos that you might throw at her.  Lucky girl.

Jessica Drew, what's YOUR excuse?

If you thought that mankind could no longer be fooled like they were in 1938, ask the people of South America who fled to the mountains when a Spanish version was broadcast, adapted to a South American setting. La Nación has a story on it, now hosted on this site.

The reaction to that broadcast was to burn down the radio station. It has been reported to me that at least two people lost their lives in the fire, but this has yet to be confirmed.

How the Brain Helps Partisans Admit No Gray

By Shankar Vedantam
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, July 31, 2006

President Bush came to Washington promising to be a uniter, but public opinion polls show that apart from a burst of camaraderie after Sept. 11, 2001, America is more bitterly divided and partisan than ever.

We'll leave the pundits to pontificate on the politics, and instead explore a more interesting phenomenon: People who see the world in black and white rarely seem to take in information that could undermine their positions.

Psychological experiments in recent years have shown that people are not evenhanded when they process information, even though they believe they are. (When people are asked whether they are biased, they say no. But when asked whether they think other people are biased, they say yes.) Partisans who watch presidential debates invariably think their guy won. When talking heads provide opinions after the debate, partisans regularly feel the people with whom they agree are making careful, reasoned arguments, whereas the people they disagree with sound like they have cloth for brains.

Unvaryingly, partisans also believe that partisans on the other side are far more ideologically extreme than they actually are, said Stanford University psychologist Mark Lepper, who has studied how people watch presidential debates.

Although it is satisfying to think that your side is right and the other side consists of morons, the systematic errors that can be documented in partisan perception suggest something deeper than deliberate tunnel vision. (Last Monday, this space was devoted to the curious phenomenon of the "hostile media effect," in which pro-Israeli and pro-Arab partisans shown the same TV clips both came to the conclusion that the news accounts were heavily biased in favor of the other side.) What explains these distortions in perception?

In an experiment that pols may want to note closely, researchers recently plopped 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats into scanners that measure changes in brain-blood oxygenation. Such changes are thought to be linked to increases or decreases in particular areas of brain activity.

Each of the partisans was repeatedly shown images of President Bush and 2004 Democratic challenger John F. Kerry.

When Republicans saw Kerry (or Democrats saw Bush) there was increased activation in brain areas called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is near the temple, and the anterior cingulate cortex, which is in the middle of the head. Both these regions are involved in regulating emotions. (If you are eating an ice cream cone on a hot day and your ice cream falls on the sidewalk and you get upset, these areas of your brain remind you that it is only an ice cream, that not eating the ice cream can help keep those pounds off, and similar rationalizations.) More straightforwardly, Republicans and Democrats also showed activation in two other brain areas involved in negative emotion, the insula and the temporal pole. It makes perfect sense, of course, why partisans would feel negatively about the candidate they dislike, but what explains the activation of the cognitive regulatory system?

Turns out, rather than turning down their negative feelings as they might do with the fallen ice cream, partisans turn up their negative emotional response when they see a photo of the opposing candidate, said Jonas Kaplan, a psychologist at the University of California at Los Angeles.

In other words, without knowing it themselves, the partisans were jealously guarding against anything that might lower their antagonism. Turning up negative feelings, of course, is a good way to make sure your antagonism stays strong and healthy.

"My feeling is, in the political process, people come to decisions early on and then spend the rest of the time making themselves feel good about their decision," Kaplan said.

Although it seems paradoxical that people would want to make themselves feel poorly, Kaplan said partisans have a strong interest in feeling poorly about the candidate they are not going to vote for as that cements their belief that they are doing the right thing.

"Democrats looking at Bush may have some positive feelings about the fact he is their leader, so the process of convincing yourself this is someone you don't like when you intend not to vote for him makes sense," he said.

The result reflects a larger phenomenon in which people routinely discount information that threatens their preexisting beliefs, said Emory University psychologist Drew Westen, who has conducted brain-scan experiments that show partisans swiftly spot hypocrisy and inconsistencies -- but only in the opposing candidate.

When presented with evidence showing the flaws of their candidate, the same brain regions that Kaplan studied lighted up -- only this time partisans were unconsciously turning down feelings of aversion and unpleasantness.

"The brain was trying to find a solution that would get rid of the distress and absolve the candidate of doing something slimy," Westen said. "They would twirl the emotional kaleidoscope until it gave them a picture that was comfortable."

Swim Guide

Swim Guide is a website and smartphone app for iPhone® and Android. It helps you easily find your closest beaches, know at a glance which ones are safe for swimming, and share your love of beaches with friends and family.

Swim Guide delivers free real-time water quality information for over 7,000 beaches, lakes, rivers, and swimming holes in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, New Zealand, the Bahamas, and Australia. The iOS and Android apps are available in English, French, and Spanish.

A question of swimmability

Swim Drink Fish is in pursuit of a future where everyone can swim, drink and fish from their local waters.

Swim Guide has a big role to play at every level of this journey, from bringing awareness to the contaminants threatening our waterways to helping people find, love, and protect their clean water.

Swim Guide began in Toronto when a team of Swim Drink Fish staff and volunteers set out to answer this simple question: Is it safe to swim in Lake Ontario?

It’s a crucial question. It’s an urgent question. It’s a starting point question. It’s also the most common question we receive from the people in our watershed.

We thought it would be easy to find the answer. We were wrong.

As it turns out, reliable facts and figures about beach water quality are hard to come by.

Consequently, it is very difficult for the average citizen to make an informed decision about where to swim.

There is an estimated 3 to 8 per cent risk of getting sick after swimming in a natural water source. Three and a half million people per year get sick enough to throw up or get diarrhea after splashing in water containing harmful bacteria, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Without reliable and current data about water quality people are vulnerable to illness and infection. When water isn’t safe to touch people withdraw from it. And when the connection between us and our water fades, so does our instinct to protect it.

In relentless pursuit of swimmable, drinkable, fishable water

We have been compiling water quality data and tracking beach water quality trends for more than a decade now. In 2011, we decided we needed a tool that would tell you where the closest beaches are and provide you with the up-to-date water quality information so that you can find your swimmable water right now.

Swim Guide app for iPhone®, Android, or web.

Swim Guide helps protect public health by showing people where the water is clean enough to swim and alerts them to contamination.

It's come a long way since launching in 2011 with water quality information for 800 beaches in the Great Lakes states, Ontario, and Vancouver-area.

  • Swim Guide provides water quality information for over 7,000 beaches, rivers and lakes in six countries.
  • Since launching nearly two million individuals have used Swim Guide to find a clean place to swim.
  • Forty five non-profit and public organizations from six countries have joined the Swim Guide Affiliates Program

Swim Guide’s momentum is the result of more and more people in more and more places asking “Is the water swimmable?”

Swim Guide helps prevent thousands of waterborne illnesses simply by making it easy for people to know when their water is contaminated and when it is clean for swimming.

Swim Guide helps identify sources of water pollution, so together we can act to restore and maintain swimmable, drinkable, fishable waters.

Swim Guide works to strengthen the social, economical and cultural connections between communities and their beaches, ensuring long-term protection of clean waterfronts and building public support for restoration of polluted areas.

Sponsor a beach!

People love swimming in beautiful natural swimming spots. But most swimming and recreational water use sites that people visit are not monitored for water quality.

In order to ensure people have the real-time water quality information they need to prevent them from getting sick we need to continue supporting and expanding beach water quality monitoring programs.

The more people choose clean water over polluted water, the more waterborne illnesses will be prevented.

Your contribution

Swim Drink Fish built Swim Guide for one reason: we want people to explore, enjoy, and fall in love with the beach so that our lake will be protected for generations to come.

Swim Drink Fish will honour you, your family, or your company with recognition on your favourite beach in Swim Guide.

For every $300 we raise, we can monitor the health of one beach for one summer. For every $1,000 we raise, we can add a new beach to the Swim Guide program. For every $10,000 we raise, we can add a new region or launch a new feature in Swim Guide to better protect public health.

2017 was a fantastic year for Swim Guide. Thank you all for caring about your swimmable water!
