Walk Through a Wedding {Leesburg VA Wedding Photographer} » Portrait and Wedding Photographer in Northern Virginia

When I can I like to write my blog posts a little in advance, just so Im not scrambling to put something together at the last minute. But for this one, there was no way I could even start because I had no idea just what I was getting myself into back in November!

It was Black Friday, the most notorious shopping day of the year. Now I love me some shopping, but I love me some sleep even more! I am not the type of Black Friday shopper who wakes up at ungodly hours of the morning or stands in line all night! Id much rather be snuggled under my down comforter with Piper snoring next to me than deal with shoppers who like the fight. But there are always exceptions. You see Justin and Mary were opening the registration of their Walk Through a Wedding workshop with special Black Friday pricing, and I knew I had to have a seat. I wanted to wake up as close to registration time as possible, buy my ticket, and go back to bed. So I turned on my laptop, plugged it in so the battery wouldnt die, got it to the right web page, and set it next to my bed. When the time came, I wouldnt waste any time. When my alarm went off at 5:30 am the next morning, everything went just like I planned. It was set. Now all I had to do was wait until February. That was almost three months away and I hadnt been this excited about something in I dont know how long. It was going to be a long three months.

But all those interim days on my big generic desk calendar got crossed off this past weekend. As we drove up to their house in Connecticut, I wrote down all the questions I wanted to ask. There were 17 of them and I hadnt even heard what they were going to teach. Surely there would be so many more to ask too!

I set up a Facebook group for everyone who had registered, so we all had been talking in advance. But it was awesome to finally meet everyone! I was so nervous. Not for meeting all these new people, but for what was to come tomorrow. I had been so, so, so excited with anticipation, but the wait was over. The butterflies had kicked in. What if it wasn't what I thought it would be? What if I just don't get it? What if I'm the one in class holding everyone back? What if… But then it was time.

what does the nephrons have to do with chronic renal failure?

Thats a hard question but I will take a stab at it. The nephrons are usually dispelled in your urine but in chronic renal failure they are floating around in the blood stream. The kidneys are like sponges and it is the sponge part that takes the brunt of the damage so they no longer filter the toxins out of the blood.

Drumming provides a means of expression through rhythm. Nowhere is this more evident than in drums that are played with one's own hands. These West Africa drums are suitable for all the play and enjoy rhythm and music through.

These West Africa drums, known as Djembe drums, have been a traditional bongo drum used in Africa for hundreds of years. The benefit of this type of drum is that anyone can play it regardless of ability. A Djembe drum is tuned through a series of tightened ropes that stretch down along the side of the drum's body.

Week 23: Good news! | BabyCenter

Remember a few weeks back when I wrote about my babyhaving complications?Well my husband and I have breathed a big sigh of relief this past week.

When I went in at 19 weeks for the anatomy scan we found out that our little guy/girl had dilated kidneys, which meant that there could have been a blockage in the urinary tract. We were brought back in a couple of weeks ago to re-scan the area and were told that the kidneys were a normal size.

Would you be surprised that every time a Warmist tries to live the carbon neutral life, they come up way short? The Greeniepig finds out that life is hard

(Grist) My personal carbon offset plan has bogged down with a serious case of the Couldas.

For those of you just joining us, I've been on a personal quest to nullify the carbon dioxide emissions from a trip to Texas last October. All 1,858 pounds of it. Rather than buying a dubious carbon offset for the trip, I wanted to slice enough emissions from my own lifestyle to atone for my sins against the climate.

How's that been working out, you ask? Coulda been better.

What To Know Before Debating Type Systems

Recently, it was brought up on Proggit that Chris Smith's "What to Know Before Debating Type Systems" was no longer online. This is a really great article, and in an effort to make sure it survives, I've grabbed the archive.org cache and am 'reprinting' it here. If you're into programming languages, read this and level up!

EDIT: Chris has placed it back online. You can find it here.

Without further ado, "What to Know Before Debating Type Systems":


What To Know Before Debating Type Systems

I would be willing to place a bet that most computer programmers have, on multiple occasions, expressed an opinion about the desirability of certain kinds of type systems in programming languages. Contrary to popular conception, that's a great thing! Programmers who care about their tools are the same programmers who care about their work, so I hope the debate rages on.

There are a few common misconceptions, though, that confuse these discussions. This article runs through those I've encountered that obscure the most important parts of the debate. My goal is to build on a shared understanding of some of the basic issues, and help people get to the interesting parts more quickly.

Classifying Type Systems

Type systems are commonly classified by several words, of which the most common are "static," "dynamic," "strong," and "weak." In this section, I address the more common kinds of classification. Some are useful, and some are not.

Strong and Weak Typing

Probably the most common way type systems are classified is "strong" or "weak." This is unfortunate, since these words have nearly no meaning at all. It is, to a limited extent, possible to compare two languages with very similar type systems, and designate one as having the stronger of those two systems. Beyond that, the words mean nothing at all.

Therefore: I give the following general definitions for strong and weak typing, at least when used as absolutes:

  • Strong typing: A type system that I like and feel comfortable with
  • Weak typing: A type system that worries me, or makes me feel uncomfortable

What about when the phrase is used in a more limited sense? Then strong typing, depending on the speaker or author, may mean anything on the spectrum from "static" to "sound," both of which are defined below.

Static and Dynamic Types

This is very nearly the only common classification of type systems that has real meaning. As a matter of fact, it's significance is frequently under- estimated. I realize that may sound ridiculous; but this theme will recur throughout this article. Dynamic and static type systems are two completely different things, whose goals happen to partially overlap.

A static type system is a mechanism by which a compiler examines source code and assigns labels (called "types") to pieces of the syntax, and then uses them to infer something about the program's behavior. A dynamic type system is a mechanism by which a compiler generates code to keep track of the sort of data (coincidentally, also called its "type") used by the program. The use of the same word "type" in each of these two systems is, of course, not really entirely coincidental; yet it is best understood as having a sort of weak historical significance. Great confusion results from trying to find a world view in which "type" really means the same thing in both systems. It doesn't. The better way to approach the issue is to recognize that:

  • Much of the time, programmers are trying to solve the same problem with static and dynamic types.
  • Nevertheless, static types are not limited to problems solved by dynamic types.
  • Nor are dynamic types limited to problems that can be solved with static types.
  • At their core, these two techniques are not the same thing at all.

Observing the second of these four simple facts is a popular pass-time in some circles. Consider this set of presentation notes, with a rather complicated "the type system found my infinite loop" comment. From a theoretical perspective, preventing infinite loops is in a very deep sense the most basic possible thing you can do with static types! The simply-typed lambda calculus, on which all other type systems are based, proves that programs terminate in a finite amount of time. Indeed, the more interesting question is how to usefully extend the type system to be able to describe programs that don't terminate! Finding infinite loops, though, is not in the class of things most people associate with "types," so it's surprising. It is, indeed, provably impossible with dynamic types (that's called the halting problem; you've probably heard of it!). But it's nothing special for static types. Why? Because they are an entirely different thing from dynamic types.

The dichotomy between static and dynamic types is somewhat misleading. Most languages, even when they claim to be dynamically typed, have some static typing features. As far as I'm aware, alllanguages have some dynamic typing features. However, most languages can be characterized as choosing one or the other. Why? Because of the first of the four facts listed above: many of the problems solved by these features overlap, so building in strong versions of both provides little benefit, and significant cost.

Other Distinctions

There are many other ways to classify type systems. These are less common, but here are some of the more interesting ones:

how to hair cut italian

Maggie World: Hair cut!

For the past couple of weeks, Maggie was scratching her forehead like crazy. I would hold her hand to stop her especially when I saw how scratched up and injured she was from her actions.(You can see the last of it in the picture below.) We tried various creams and salves to deal with the itching. Nothing stopped it. It took me a while to realize that her hair was bugging her. I would brush her hair back in the morning, but her hair is so fine it never stays where you brush it. It was hanging over her forehead and getting in her eyes. It was past time for a haircut.

I tried to set it up for Monday when Maggie had the day off school, but it couldn't be arranged. Lisa, the lady who cuts Maggie's and my hair could take us Tuesday afternoon. Ok.

what is on balance sheet

Fed Balance Sheet Is Shrinking Again

Unnoticed by most, the Fed balance sheet has started to shrink, after its unprecedented increase last year. After having increased from $888 billion in the week to September 10, to $2,247 billion in the week to December 31, it has since fallen 4 straight weeks in a row to $1,990 billion in the week to January 28. And that latter figure was a weekly average, the absolute level on January 28 was $1,911 billion. This reflects mainly a decline in commercial paper holdings, but many other items including "Term Auction Facility", repurchase agreements and "other loans" also declined significantly.

It is not certain just what this mean.

what is kubaton

How the Kubaton Stole Christmas « I Want to Believe

Four years ago, I was a junior at BYU and I needed an exercise credit for school.  So my wonderful roommate, Stephanie, and I decided to take the women-only self defense class.  And it was AWESOME!  Taught by police officers, the official title of the class was the Rape Aggression Defense, or RAD.  And close to the end of the semester long class we were presented with a Kubaton.

This is about 6 inches long and goes on your keys.  You then use the Kubaton as the handle, and the keys as the weapon to enhance our self defense skills.  The officers made us promise to keep it with us always, and Stephanie and I always did.  I even remember being specifically told that because it is plastic we would be able to take it on airplanes.  We were also encouraged enough to take the follow up class the next semester even though it wouldn't be for BYU credit.

what kind of education do need for being teacher

Blog / Skillshare: Non-Traditional Education 2.0

Originally posted to Forbes.

The concept behind Skillshare is simple: empower everyone to teach anything, anywhere. And sometimes it's the simplest ideas that have the greatest long-term impact.

The Skillshare philosophy is that everyone has something valuable to teach. Skillshare.com provides countless opportunities to enrich yourself intellectually or just pick up a new hobby, all while interacting with other members who share similar passions. In fact, it was CEO and co-founder Michael Karnjanaprakorns own poker skills that set the idea in motion. Following his success at the World Series of Poker, Michael thought, Hey, I can teach others how to do this. And that's what he's doing.

While poker classes are still available through Skillshare, it's not the only way the site can help make you a winner. Some Skillshare courses provide valuable tools and information to help career development or expand technical skills, like their classes on Startup Design: UI and UX Design Team Structure and Process, Design for 3D Printing, and Sketchnotes, Infographics and Graphic Facilitation, which caught my eye.

There is something here for everyone, be it Mastery of Community Management or learning how to make dumplings. Regardless of the class, one thing stands out: the educators here really want to share the their knowledge and skills, and their evident enthusiasm has created real vibrancy in this young community.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Danya Cheskis-Gold, Skillshare's Community Manager. She explained the varied uses for Skillshare, one example being students who are using Skillshare as a self-driven educational platform after leaving college early, and filled me in on their recent efforts toward supporting teachers and providing even better productive learning experiences for members.

US ARMY Alpha Black Tactical Tippmann Paintball Gun Set Review


Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Marker:
I've been using the Tippman US Army Alpha Black for about a full month now. and i must say its pretty great. Accuracy is, well, accurate. with the 10" barrel the balls go where you want it to go with now problem. over 60yds and you start to see the paintballs veer off. I'm planning to upgrade the barrel to a 12 or 14" but nothing longer than that. I have much success playing against speedballers(veterans and rookies) and in woods play the only downfall is that you have to wait for a certain distance to get successful frags, thus, the acquisition of a longer barrel. Dont get me wrong you can tag an opponent from long range but by the time u let off a well aimed shot, you'll need to hide from all the hail of painballs comin at you :-) . Which leads me to the next thing, I ordered Alpha Black that does not have the e-trigger.

State, Federal Officials Insist Zebra Mussel Threat Confined to Lake Texoma. For Now. - Dallas News

Zebra Mussel Test Results on North Texas Lakes Reported
Boaters urged to continue to Clean, Drain and Dry boats moved between lakes
ATHENS--Despite recent test results showing zebra mussel DNA to be present in several North Texas reservoirs, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) officials remain hopeful that the invasive aquatic species is still confined to Lake Texoma.

Dr. Robert McMahon, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University of Texas at Arlington, has been monitoring 14 North Texas reservoirs for the presence of zebra mussels using three techniques. One technique looks for zebra mussel DNA in the water, another uses a microscope to look for zebra mussel larvae (veligers) in the water, and the third uses a submerged monitor to look for newly settled juvenile mussels.

Lakes involved in the study include Eagle Mountain, Lewisville, Lavon, Ray Hubbard, Ray Roberts, Arrowhead, Bridgeport, Tawakoni, Caddo, Wright Patman, Fork, Lake O' the Pines, Caddo and Texoma.

Of those lakes, only Lake Texoma is known to be infested with zebra mussels.

Despite rigorous and repeated sampling in North Texas, Dr. McMahon has detected no zebra mussels of any life stage in any Texas lake other than Lake Texoma. Nevertheless, the most recent tests, carried out in October 2011, showed low levels of zebra mussel DNA in six lakes: Eagle Mountain, Lewisville, Ray Roberts, Arrowhead, Bridgeport and Caddo.

"Lakes Lavon, Ray Hubbard, Tawakoni and Wright Patman had no detected zebra mussel DNA in the samples," said McMahon. "Lavon and Ray Hubbard tested positive for zebra mussel DNA in the spring of 2011, so the absence of any veliger DNA in the fall samples suggests that mussels have not become established in those lakes. Lakes Fork, Lake O' the Pines and Bob Sandlin were not examined for mussel DNA in the fall of 2011, because they were considered inhospitable to zebra mussels based on high summer temperatures and low calcium levels."

The presence of zebra mussel DNA in the water is not an indication that zebra mussels have become established in a lake or that they will become established. "There are cases in the western U.S. where positive DNA results indicated the presence of zebra mussels, but those results could never be confirmed," said Brian Van Zee, TPWD Inland Fisheries regional director. "In fact, Lakes Ray Hubbard and Lavon tested positive in the spring of 2011 for zebra mussel DNA, but the presence of zebra mussels could not be confirmed by microscopy or settlement samplers. The spring 2011 samples were taken right around the time that contaminated boats were found on both lakes, so that may be why they tested positive. Both boats were removed and decontaminated, and subsequent monitoring on these two lakes, by three different entities, has not confirmed the presence of zebra mussels."

McMahon noted that he was surprised by the positive result for Caddo Lake. "I consider the lake's calcium levels to be too low and the summer water temperatures too high to support zebra mussels," he said.

Microscopic examination of water samples from the 14 lakes in both June and October 2011 showed zebra mussel veligers present only in Lake Texoma. "During June juvenile mussels were found on settlement monitors only in Lake Texoma, while no juvenile zebra mussels were found on settlement monitors in any of the 14 lakes in October, including Texoma," McMahon added.

McMahon suspects that boats being transported from Lake Texoma to other lakes are the source of the DNA found in the six lakes. "The data suggest that mussels and/or mussel larvae are being carried into these lakes by recreational boaters but are not becoming established as a sustainably reproducing mussel population," he said. "This is a sign that mussels are being introduced to Texas lakes, and if such introductions continue, some of these lakes may eventually become infested with zebra mussels."

Some say essential ammino acids, however I don't like this as it doesn't specify what is the ammino acids they include, they could very well exclude some essential ammino acids and put that they contain essential ammino acids.

will my 10 pound baby fit into 0-3 clothes?

the SHU box: week 30!

hitting the 30s
i wrote before about the myriad waiting games in pregnancy -- starting with the whole TTC process. personally, i find this to be one of the more significant ones for a couple of reasons.


most importantly, i can say from my residency NICU experiences that most babies born after 30 weeks are not the truly sick ones. in fact, unless there are other issues involved [genetic defects, infections, etc], most babies at this level of prematurity do incredibly well.

second, 30 was the number i always associated with being really, really pregnant -- ie, when i would hear someone was 30 weeks i'd think of them having their baby in the [relatively] near future. it's the last 6.2 miles of the pregnancy marathon! and as someone who hasn't really bonked one yet, i am hoping the same will be true for this journey.


30 weeks! if you want to hide it, pose face-forward and wear black . . .

the lighting in our apartment is so hard! i want to get some decent pictures taken before it's too late [aka before the whole swelling part inevitably begins]. hopefully i'll be able to get outside with josh at some point!
