After our ceremony, it was time for some pictures as a newly married couple. Even though we had a first look, I knew that I wanted pictures after the ceremony since I had my veil on and we were officially hitched.
It was fun to have a longer walk back to the gazebo by ourselves. I mean, we had just gotten married for crying out loud…let us have a few minutes to ourselves!
Jeremy and I waited in the gazebo while everyone came off the pier. We were waiting so that we could get pictures on the walkway leading up to the pier by ourselves. Well, this action led to an improptu receiving line. I’m not a big fan of receiving lines and definitely didn’t plan to have one, but we did sort of have one anyways.
I think because lots of the guests could see us hugging members of the bridal party, they thought they could jump in line too. Like I said before, it wasn’t planned, but you know what? I’m really glad that I got to say a few things to most everyone. It all happened so fast, but I was able to talk to almost everyone and hug most people. It might have been improptu, but I think it worked out so well.
Oh, just leading my husband along the path. Nothing out of the ordinary at all!
I love Jeremy’s face in this picture. He’s calm but looks at peace, which is awesome. And he’s staring into my eyes, which every girl wants, right? Right?
The obligatory veil picture. I really wanted to capture the beauty of my moms veil, which I think this does beautifully. You can see the lace all around. Fun fact – my sister had to be used to make this picture happen. She will make an appearance in my bloopers post – coming eventually.

The Michelin Guide is back in California this year, and the stars are about to fall. After debuting statewide in 2019, the Big Red Book took a hiatus across the state in 2020, citing both the pandemic and wildfires (neither of which have gone away this year, sadly) as reasons for leaning into an un-starred ‘Discoveries’ acknowledgment for some restaurants instead. But now, Michelin season is upon Southern California once again, with today’s announcement of bib gourmand restaurants from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles to Orange County and beyond; the official Michelin stars announcement is still to come on September 28.
For those unfamiliar: Michelin (yes, the tire company) releases an annual list of restaurant awards across regions worldwide. Sometimes it’s just cities like New York or London; in California’s case, it’s statewide. The biggest awards fall on a three-starred scale, indicating exceptional levels of service and food (and, usually, price and whiteness), while other restaurants are acknowledged as slightly less worthy, and less expensive, dining options under the bib gourmand category. Per Michelin itself:
Bib Gourmand restaurants offer a full menu of a starter, main course and dessert, making it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for around $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included).
While receiving a bib gourmand is considered to be an honor for many, it also means that these restaurants will not be earning a more highly coveted Michelin star for 2021. This year’s list of new bib gourmand awards for Eater LA’s coverage area (from the Central Coast south through Orange County, and out to Coachella Valley) spans 19 restaurants in total and is presented alphabetically below.
It’s also worth noting that, once again, the Michelin team has not acknowledged the vast, important, and historic street food scene in Southern California, thus leaving out a huge swath of worthy dining options that millions of people depend on. This year’s new bib gourmand list also does not have any Korean restaurants, Armenian restaurants, and few restaurants in South LA or the greater South Bay region.
Here’s who did make the cut for 2021 (the existing bib gourmands, dating back to 2019, can be found here):
Jiang Nan Spring
Orange County, Santa Barbara
Bettina (Santa Barbara)
CHAAK Kitchen (Orange County)
Corazon Cocina (Santa Barbara)
Fable & Spirit (Orange County)
Heritage Barbecue (Orange County)
Khan Saab Desi Craft Kitchen (Orange County)

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when the drought couldn't be worse for water-scarce California, Mercury360®, a San Francisco marketing firm, is keeping a sunny outlook by announcing a new campaign for a client in the water sector. The company is WaterFX™, a startup that is using solar desalination to generate freshwater for farmers in California's Central Valley. Mercury360 has been retained to help the company develop marketing strategies and outreach initiatives for their upcoming commercial project, HydroRevolutionSM. The project is expected to be one of the 10 largest investment crowdfunding campaigns on record.
According to WaterFX founder, Aaron Mandell, this is an exciting time for the startup, "Mercury360 is helping us get creative about bringing forward a new solution to California's water problem. We have a very different approach and we want everyone to know they can actually become a part of it and join us in our mission to solve water scarcity." The company has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, and National Geographic.
WaterFX operated a demonstration plant from 2013—2014 in order to purify irrigation drainage water in the Panoche Water and Drainage District located in California's Central Valley. The six month project proved that fresh water can be generated from irrigation drainage with >90% recovery rate and it can be done using solar energy, eliminating the need for polluting land or river systems with salt and mineral impaired water. HydroRevolution will be an expansion of this project and the company's first commercial plant.
Mercury360 is working with WaterFX to build a campaign for the promotion of HydroRevolution. "Water is something we're all thinking about right now in California, we're excited to be working with WaterFX as they bring forward a solution for such a critical issue," said Mercury360 CEO, Ren Bloom. Mercury360 is helping WaterFX raise their company profile by developing outreach strategies for communicating the details of the HydroRevolution project to a wider audience.
The company's investment crowdfunding campaign will run for a period of one year and aims to raise $10 million in capital for the construction of a solar desalination plant in California's Central Valley. Following the capital raise, the plant will be able to supply critical water purification services to impaired water sources in the Central Valley and generate a new supply of freshwater. "It's remarkable to see just how far crowdfunding campaigns have come. It's no longer all about wearable tech and pet projects, we can also fund important cleantech infrastructure projects," said Mercury360 CEO, Ren Bloom. The investment crowdfunding platform allows companies to identify mainstream investors and use a community approach to target them.
The HydroRevolution plant couldn't come at a better time for Californians. Governor Jerry Brown has passed mandatory water reductions while many of the state's growers are fallowing land due to insufficient water allocations. With only one year of stored water left, according to NASA estimates, Californians will need to find other sources of generating freshwater. The partnership between Mercury360 and WaterFX will help this innovation in water tech to achieve the public attention necessary for enacting a change to the current water system.
WaterFX™ builds and operates distributed water reuse systems powered by renewable energy. The company's Aqua4™ solar powered water distillation system purifies impaired water from any source. The company's first full scale plant, HydroRevolution, will be built in Firebaugh, CA to serve the Panoche Water and Drainage District. The plant will treat irrigation drainage on salt impaired land to generate freshwater and return farmland to productivity. The plant will ensure an abundant and sustainable water supply for the district in California's Central Valley, which has faced chronic water shortages due to the changing climate and weather pattern of California.

Hypersonic Research – the Rocket as a Flying Wind Tunnel
Large members of the sounding rocket family can be brought to speeds above Mach 12 and thereby provide invaluable testing time at true atmospheric conditions and hypersonic speed. Conventional wind tunnels that are able to attain such speeds achieve testing times of a few milliseconds, while the rockets achieve testing times of up to one minute.
Investigation of new concepts for re-entry into the atmosphere of space transport systems: SHEFEX flight test programme (Sharp Edge Flight Experiment)
The aim of SHEFEX is to test new thermal protection concepts for returning space vehicles and reducing their manufacturing and maintenance costs. The SHEFEX flight test programme tests a sharp-edged design with new thermal protection components and innovative control concepts and attitude determination. Special care is taken with the instrumentation and installation of numerous sensors for measuring aerodynamic effects and the performance of the space vehicle upon re-entry into the atmosphere.
The sharp-edged shape of SHEFEX provides two essential benefits. Firstly, its concept provide for a simpler and more reliable heat shield as the simple shape of the SHEFEX tiles makes for lower costs for maintenance of the heat shield of space vehicles (a Space Shuttle has more than 25,000 differently shaped tiles). Even a simple replacement in space would be conceivable. The faceted shape also results in improved aerodynamic properties. Together with the active cooling system, completely new possibilities for European space flight arise.
SHEFEX I was successfully launched on 27 October 2005 from the launch pad at the Andøya Space Center in Norway with a two-stage sounding rocket on behalf of the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
The SHEFEX II mission was launched successfully from the testing site at the Andøya Space Center (ASC) in northern Norway on 22 June 2012. The second flight in the German Aerospace Center’s SHEFEX programme further investigated the sharp-edged design with new types of thermal protection and active control.
SHEFEX II was used to test nine different thermal protection systems, largely developments from fibre-reinforced ceramic composite materials from the German Aerospace Center in Stuttgart and Cologne. In comparison to metallic materials they are considerably more heat resistant, extremely light and maintain their shape even at high temperatures. However, even experiments of the German space travel industry (EADS Astrium and MT Aerospace), the University of Stuttgart and international partners (Boeing) found a space in the faceted external skin.

All three Iowa Democrats in the U.S. House voted for the 2010 health insurance reform bill, but last week Dave Loebsack (IA-02) and Leonard Boswell (IA-03) joined Republicans in repealing a tax established under the Affordable Care Act. It's the second time this year that Boswell and Loebsack voted to roll back part of that law.
The U.S. Supreme Court will rule on the health care reform law later this month, and I'm betting the Roberts Five will strike the whole thing down. But if the high court leaves most of the law intact, a new 2.3 percent tax on medical device manufacturers will be one of many provisions scheduled to go into effect on January 1, 2014. The tax was designed to "help offset the cost of subsidizing insurance coverage for more than 30 million people."
The Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the tax, equal to 2.3 percent of the sale price of medical devices, will raise $29 billion in the next 10 years. The tax would apply to manufacturers and importers of devices like pacemakers and stents, defibrillators, artificial hips and knees, surgical tools and X-ray machines.
House Republicans would pay for repealing the tax by recouping some subsidies provided to low- and middle-income people to help them buy insurance. Eligibility for subsidies is based on a person's income. People who experience an increase in income may receive larger subsidies than they are entitled to. The bill would allow the government to recover those overpayments.
H.R. 436, the Protect Medical Innovation Act of 2012, might have received broad bipartisan support if not for the "pay for" element, Pete Kasperowicz reported for The Hill.
Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) argued that while he and other Democrats support the repeal of the excise tax, there will be Democratic opposition to the bill because it combines two other healthcare-related bills, and pays for these changes in a way they oppose. Polis called the legislation an "incoherent mess of a bill."
Aside from repealing the device tax, the bill would also allow over-the-counter drugs to be expensed under health savings accounts, and give people to access unused medical savings account balances. About a dozen Democrats were co-sponsors of the bill when it just included the medical device tax repeal, and despite Polis's comments, some are likely to join Republicans in final passage later in the day.
On June 7 the House approved this bill by 270 votes to 146 (roll call). Every Republican present voted for the bill, including Iowa's Tom Latham (IA-04) and Steve King (IA-05). Loebsack and Boswell were among 37 Democrats who also supported the legislation. The other 146 House Democrats present voted no, including Bruce Braley (IA-01).
I have not seen any public comment on this vote from members of the Iowa delegation.
The White House indicated last week that President Barack Obama would veto this bill if it reaches his desk.
The Obama administration argues the bill would amount to a tax increase on working families.
"This tax break... would be funded by increased repayments of the Affordable Care Act's advance premium tax credits, which would raise taxes on middle-class and low-income families," the administration said in the veto threat Wednesday.
But Republicans rejected the argument that recapturing subsidy overpayments is the same as raising taxes, and argued that Democrats themselves have proposed recapturing more of these overpayments as a way to raise money.
"Let me be clear - this is a bipartisan offset," House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) said. "Increasing the amount of overpayments to be repaid was a proposal first put forward by Congressional Democrats in the 2010 Medicare doc fix legislation which passed the Democrat-controlled House 409 to 2.
"Such an offset was used again when the House passed and the President signed 1099 repeal last year, and more than 70 Democrats supported that bill," he added. "In fact, Health and Human Services Secretary Sebelius said paying back subsidy overpayments makes it 'fairer' for all taxpayers."
Observers of Congress don't expect the Senate to approve the latest health care reform rollback. The Senate has not acted on a bill the House approved in February, which repealed a different program created by the Affordable Care Act. Loebsack and Boswell were among 28 House Democrats to vote with Republicans for that legislation.


In 2004 at the Chicago Auto Exhibition the Korean automaker introduced a pickup concept called the Mojave. It was the first Kia car of its class presented in the United States. According to the company, the main purpose of this pickup’s release was consumer research, without any plan to launch it in production. Kia tried to make the concept which would be able to fit their line-up for the North America. Indeed, the Mojave can be named as a great example of Kia quality. With the goal to test buyers’ preferences Kia have managed to create a vehicle with excellent styling details. A renewed version of the Mojave is expected soon. The 2016 Kia truck is going to surprise consumers with all its features.
To start with, the Mojave is built on the Kia Sorrento platform which fits well for pickup trucks. The pickup’s exterior design is somewhat rigorous and laconic. The relatively wide and low stance is to improve the car’s stability. The front end features an original grill with a Kia badge on it as well as chrome-framed LED headlights. The front bumper has an efficient look giving to the truck a really masculine style. The Mojave is 192 inches long, with width of 75 inches, and height of 70 inches. The spacious 71-inch cargo bed can even be enlarged to 86 inches by a power drive, and the flap tailgate can make loading or removal of heavy loads easier.
As far as the exterior of this 2016 Kia truck, its two-plus-two cabin is comfortable and spacious. Thanks to the ten-foot base, it can accommodate four or five passengers. The backward opening rear doors and absence of the B-pillar provide easy access to all the seats upholstered in tan leather. In the interior design the Kia developers are said to use some aircraft design details, that allowed to focus on the car’s gauges, including a central console with large graphic elements and infotainment controls. Among the technological features the Mojave can offer a computer system with a DVD drive, on-board navigation, heating and cooling systems and much more.
Under the hood the 2016 Kia truck is expected to have a 3.8-liter inline-six 24-valve Lambda engine. It may be reinforced by a turbo or supercharger. This Hyundai-produced motor is able to generate 300 hp and 266 lb-ft. Most probably, the new Mojave’s powertrain will be supplemented by a five-speed automatic transmission. All of this will provide the car with all-wheel-drive.


Attempts to use the dynamic energy of the wind have been made from ancient times onwards. Thousands of years ago man used the wind to sail, grind corn and pump water. In response to the increasing importance of electric energy, the development of devices to generate electricity from the wind commenced at the beginning of the 20th century.
It was not until the oil crisis of 1973, with its dramatic increase in the prices of the primary energy sources oil and natural gas, that large-scale finance became available for the development of modern wind energy utilization methods.Today, wind turbines have become the standard equipment for electricity generation without burdening the environment with damaging emissions. Increasing technical experience has been incorporated in the production of growing numbers of wind turbines to make them more efficient and reliable.
In Germany, there are numerous locations favourable to the exploitation of wind power. Most suitable are coastal areas with high and stable wind frequency, as well as the upper levels of the inland central hill chains.
However, there is a movement of wind energy generation away from the already highly-developed coastal areas to both offshore areas and new inland locations offering the required potential.
Das im Vergleich zu Küstenregionen schwächere Winddargebot wird im Binnenland wieder teilweise wett gemacht durch den Einsatz von binnenlandoptimierten Windkraftanlagen.
Whilst the incidence of wind inland is lower, this can be partly compensated by the use of suitably modified turbines. Compared with standard versions, the rotor diameter is extended to achieve a greater wind collecting area, leading to higher energy utilization.
Development of inland sites is also furthered by the German Regenerative Energy Law (EEG) of April 2000, providing scaled minimum charges for electricity produced there
To make wind power economically reasonable, certain minimum conditions must be present. The suitability of a site is determined by the average annual wind speed and its rate of increase by altitude and is thus dependent on surface characteristics (land, sea, vegetation, etc.).
In addition to wind speed, its observed occurence is also relevant to the planned energy supply from a wind generator, indicating the number of hours per year in which different wind speeds can be anticipated.
Long term measurement of wind data and special computer programmes taking into account surface roughness, the distribution of wind direction, possible canalisation effects and atmospheric pressure variations permit reliable forecasting of the annual availability of wind energy for a particular site.
The delivered performance of a wind generator increases according to physical laws by the cube of the wind speed. If the wind speed doubles, then the energy potential increases eight times ! Thus, relatively modest increases in wind speed affect the useful performance of wind generators significantly.
Coal-based electricity generated to supply the average annual consumption of 1.000 households contaminates the environment with 3.300 tonnes of carbon dioxide, 150 tonnes of ash and fly ash, 16 tonnes of sulphur dioxide and 14 tonnes of nitrogen oxide!
The same amount of electricity can be supplied by a modern wind generator with an output of 2.500 kW with no such emissions. Consequently, the utilization of wind energy for the generation of electricity, which in no way pollutes the environment, is not only ecologically but also economically suitable.

Poorly Applied 'No-Fault' Attendance Policies Can Hurt Companies, Workers
One way employers can track employee time off is with a "no-fault" attendance policy, in which workers accumulate points for unexcused absences, late arrivals or early departures. Once a worker exceeds a set number of points, they can be disciplined or even fired.
The days can be used for any reason, but sometimes people have to miss work for a reason protected by law — like childbirth or disability. Missed work for qualified pregnancy — related care or a serious health condition cannot count toward their allotted time off, according to an article on the CNN website.
Employees can't be penalized for absences that are protected by the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
No-fault attendance policies can serve as a way help supervisors avoid having to make judgment calls and eliminate any perceived bias. When they are used correctly, the policies provide clear guidance on just how much time off workers get. They also help employers and employees better track missed days.
But the policies have to be consistently applied to avoid any potential discriminatory claims. They also have to be flexible enough to take into account when an absence is protected under federal law.
Most importantly, supervisors need to be trained to ask the right questions to determine when absences are federally protected.
For instance, some companies — such as AT&T Mobility — have been accused violating the law. Two former AT&T Mobility workers recently filed a proposed nationwide class action lawsuit that claims the no-fault attendance policy for retail employees unlawfully discriminates against pregnant women.

DSG Goes Mainstream: Say Goodbye to the Stick
Pound another nail in the third pedal's coffin. AutoSpectator reports BorgWarner (BW) has developed low-cost dual-clutch transmission technology for small cars. Previously, dual-clutch trannies were too complex and costly to use in low-priced cars or in developing markets. However, BW has applied for patents for a smaller and simpler version that will provide a 13 percent improvement in fuel efficiency with better performance (oh yes) than current slushboxes. Once they go into full production mode, they expect the technology to be used in 2.3m transmissions worldwide. And then some.

Cake Kalk & First Look 2020: Dual Sport electric motorcycle
Cake Kalk & 2020: a different approach to the dual sport motorcycle
The level of innovation in the electric motorcycle business is impressive, and the 2020 Cake Kalk & (yes, it has an ampersand in its name) is turning heads. The “&” differentiates the bisport model from the Kalk OR off-road model only.
The Cake Kalk & 2020 is a hybrid of a bike and a motorcycle, with components that do not meet the specifications of a motorcycle, although more durable than what you would see on a bicycle.
As far as the engine goes, it’s pretty straightforward. It has the maximum torque we’ve come to expect from an electric powertrain: 186 ft / lbs. Yes, it’s more than the Triumph Rocket III. Of course, it has to be padded to be usable, but it’s there. Even with that staggering peak torque count, the claimed top speed is 56+ mph, so probably not quite 60 mph.
As expected, the autonomy of Cake Kalk & 2020 is highly dependent on performance. The most powerful option is Excel mode. Designed for competition and high speed driving, you won’t get more than an hour of charging from the 2.6kWh, 50Ah lithium-ion battery.
For fast driving on the trails, you select the Excite mode. Cake takes between one and two hours between charges. If you want to ride for three to four hours, Explore Mode reduces horsepower and limits Calk & to 28 mph, which may be sufficient in some terrains.
In our experience, range claims are generally “enthusiastic”, although this is not intentional. However, that doesn’t mean Cake’s claims aren’t accurate. Cake says it takes 2.5 hours to bring the battery back from zero charge to 100%, and that’s using a standard outlet.
The frame is a visually striking part of the Cake Kalk & 2020, especially the aftermarket rear. It’s a lightweight chassis, weighing 174 pounds, including 37 pounds for the battery. Part of the reason for the lack of weight is the lighter wheels and suspension components.
That’s not to say Cake skimped on the suspension. The shock absorber and the fork are from Ãhlins. However, the inverted fork is a 38mm unit with eight inches of travel, with the linkage-assisted piggyback tank damper controlling rear wheel movement. Oddly enough, the air spring fork is fully adjustable and there is no adjustment for the shock absorber.
Cake made an odd choice on the Kalk & 2020 wheels. Both wheels are 19 inches in diameter. This is a non-standard size that locks you in the specially designed GMD Trail Savers tires. Additionally, the tires are 3.00 wide and have an observed style block tread pattern. We notice different tires – more track styling – in the Kalk & action photographs provided by Cake. Obviously, a change was made at some point before the final production.
The 35.8-inch seat height will be tough for newer or shorter riders, although the 174-pound weight minimizes it. The 11.8-inch ground clearance will allow the Cake Kalk & 2020 to be used in authentic off-road environments. The wheelbase is only 51.6 inches with a tilt of 25 degrees, all numbers that indicate agility.
There’s a dashboard that gives you the basics: speed, odometer, trip odometer, battery status, and power consumption.
The Cake Kalk & 2020 is sold on the Cake website and shipped directly to your home. Financing is part of the equation, with monthly payments starting at $ 715.
All you’ll need is $ 14,000 for the unmistakably unique 2020 Cake Kalk & dual sport motorcycle. That’s $ 3,601 more than a 2020 KTM 500 EXC-F. Of course, you’re paying for the privilege of being at the forefront of electric motorcycle development.

Essays on dating sites girl from mate 1 intimate dating
Any person you contact on the Internet is more to be imaginary than real.The writer didn't say “No” to the Internet relationships but she said that we should not trust or ( base a relationship on!But is this a positive development or something to be concerned about?Is online dating making the world better and dating more effective, or is something important being lost or sacrificed as a result?The writer ended her article by giving general advice that anybody should put effort into a relationship.She defined dating : “You can't know in advance whether or not it will work out-that's what dating is for.
The alternative that often happens is meeting someone through friends, which can work, but it’s limiting yourself to single people your closest friends and family happen to know.The way the current trend is heading, what will dating be like in 2030, and will that be a better or worse time to be on the dating market than 1995? I think the term “online dating” is part of the problem and makes people who don’t know much about it think it refers to people forming entire relationships online and only meeting in person much later.Simply considered as online meeting people, it makes a ton of sense.I’ve already expressed my argument for why in two posts: one on how critical it is to find the right life partner and how seriously we should take that quest, and another on why going to bars is a terrible life experience.The first step in ending up with the right person is meeting the right person, and for something so important in our lives, we’ve had for doing it efficiently and intelligently.
The Internet is replacing many things in our lives : Email has replaced the postal services , E-shopping (e.g., ebay) is replacing regular shopping, and now you can arrange your dates and relationships on the Internet.

This study aims to evaluate the effect on killing efficacy of the intracellular trafficking patterns of a-particle emitters by using different radionuclide carriers in the setting of targeted antivascular a-radiotherapy. Nanocarriers (lipid vesicles) targeted to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is unique to human neovasculature for a variety of solid tumors, were loaded with the a-particle generator actinium-225 and were compared with a PSMA-targeted radiolabeled antibody. Actinium-225 emits a total of four α-particles per decay, providing highly lethal and localized irradiation of targeted cells with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Lipid vesicles were derivatized with two types of PSMA-targeting ligands: a fully human PSMA antibody (mAb) and a urea-based, low-molecular-weight agent. Target selectivity and extent of internalization were evaluated on monolayers of human endothelial cells (HUVEC) induced to express PSMA in static incubation conditions and in a flow field. Both types of radiolabeled PSMA-targeted vesicles exhibit similar killing efficacy, which is greater than the efficacy of the radiolabeled control mAb when compared on the basis of delivered radioactivity per cell. Fluorescence confocal microscopy demonstrates that targeted vesicles localize closer to the nucleus, unlike antibodies which localize near the plasma membrane. In addition, targeted vesicles cause larger numbers of dsDNAs per nucleus of treated cells compared with the radiolabeled mAb. These findings demonstrate that radionuclide carriers, such as PSMA-targeted lipid-nanocarriers, which localize close to the nucleus, increase the probability of α-particle trajectories crossing the nuclei, and, therefore, enhance the killing efficacy of α-particle emitters.
