Build a classic lemonade stand.
It's hard to believe but of all the pieces I have built never have I done an official lemonade stand. So when a friend asked me to build one for an event I said sure! She requested a stand similar to Kristyn's at Lil' Luna here and I got to building.
It's big, like big enough for an adult.
48"w x 24.5"d x 77"h
And I added a removable chalkboard to the front.
There's plenty of workspace on the cedar planked top.
And also plenty of space behind to add at least two chairs.
I did paint 'lemonade' on both sides of the sign so it will be visible for customers.
How to build a classic lemonade stand:
Shopping list:
- 5 - 1x6x8 cedar planks
- 4 - 1x4x8 cedar planks
- 2 - 2x3x8 studs
- 2 - 2x4x8 studs
- 2 - 1x3x6 pine board
- 1/4" plywood pieces
- 2x2 @ 12" or 4 - 3" scraps
Cut list:
- 4 - 2x4 @ 29 1/4" (legs)
- 4 - 2x3 @ 9" (cross supports)
- 2 - 2x3 @ 43" (front cross supports)
- 1 - 2x4 @ 43" (back cross support)
- 14 - 1x6 @ 29 1/4" (base sides & front wrap)
- 7 - 1x4 @ 48" (top)
- 2 - 1x3x6 (sign posts)
- 1 - 1/4"ply @ 10" x 48" (sign)
- 4 - 2x2 @ 3" (sign post guides)
- 1 - 1/4"ply @ 24" x 35" (chalkboard sign)
- 2 - 1x2 @ 23" (chalkboard sign backer)
Step 1: Build the frame. Start with the short ends then connect using the longer front and back cross supports.
Notice the pocket holes going upwards later for attaching the top.
Step 2: Assemble the top. 7 boards wide all connected flush using pocket holes.
Step 3: Attach the top to the base frame using the predrilled pocket holes and 2" screws.
Step 4: Prepaint front and sides of slats then sand to distress.
Step 5: Attach slats to front and sides using finish nails.
Step 6: Determine placement of sign posts and jigsaw a 1x3 opening with a little extra wiggle room.
Step 7: At the base of the frame support attach 2 scrap 2x2 pieces to guide the sign posts and hold in place.
Step 8: For the chalkboard secure 2 - 1x2 pieces at back. (I used 3/4" screws predrilled from the front, putty and sand then paint with black chalkpaint.)
Step 9: Insert 2 screw eyes down into 1x2s.
Step 10: Determine where sign will hang and center. Predrill and screw in hooks.
Take care to be sure hooks DO NOT protrude beyond front edge, you don't want customers getting poked by the hooks and also to prevent them from rubbing up against the chalkboard.
Step 11: To make 'lemonade' sign paint plywood white. Print out letters using Microsoft Word Gloucester MT Extra Condensed font at 700 point. Line up print outs on plywood and trace letters with a ballpoint pen using heavy pressure.
Step 12: The pressure of the pen will leave a slight indent in the wood. Paint on and inside the indent with bright yellow.
Step 13: Create depth by painting a dark brown shadow down and to the right of every letter. Sand to distress. Attach sign to posts.

The NATALIE WOOD "WEST SIDE STORY" heartbreaker you'll never forget!
Natalie, who played Maria in the classic film about the modern day Romeo and Juliet, thought she would be singing her own songs but when she went to the premiere, she was in for a rude awakening.
Like most film musicals, the songs were pre-recorded and the actors lip synced while filming so they could concentrate on their performances.
And since Natalie was the only big name star in the film her contract stated her singing voice would be in the final film AND director Robert Wise never told her until the opening world premiere in 1961.
When Natalie struggled with the challenging soprano sections role her voice was blended with Marni Nixon's on the pre-recorded track. Natalie sang the lower portions and Marni provided the higher vocals, and filming was lensed with Wood acting and mouthing the mixed vocal recordings.
And Natalie wasn't alone in having her own singing track removed or mixed – Nixon redubbed the singing for Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" and her vocals were mixed with Marilyn Monroe's on "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" in the film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" .
But unlike Natalie, Audrey Hepburn knew from the start of production her voice was going to be completely re-dubbed.
"Natalie was clueless that not one single note of her singing was to remain in the finished film," a film historian recalled. "Just moments before the curtain rose, the director took her aside and told her.
"Natalie was initially crushed and could have sued the production for breach of contract but didn't. Natalie thought it would be best for the sake of the film's success to keep mum."
Despite Natalie's personal disappointment, "West Side Story" won 10 Academy Awards in its eleven nominated categories, including Best Picture and has remained an enduring film classic.

After total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, patients are at risk to develop venous thromboembolism (VTE) or deep venous thrombosis (DVT) potentially resulting in a fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Two novel agents, dabigatran and rivaroxaban, recently gained market authorisation for prevention of venous thromboembolism after knee arthroplasty.
However, there are no clinical trials with dabigatran and/or rivaroxaban and the comparator nadroparin.
Nadroparin is used in the most Dutch departments of orthopaedic surgery after total knee arthroplasty. Also safety of the new oral agents with long term use of 42 days is not available for total knee arthroplasty.
Our aim is to compare the long term use of dabigatran and rivaroxaban versus nadroparin on safety after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a clinical explorative pilot study by observing the incidence of major bleeding and clinical relevant non-major bleeding using a standardized model of bleeding definitions.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the clinical safety with long term use of the oral once daily unmonitored thrombin inhibitors dabigatran and rivaroxaban versus subcutaneous administered nadroparin by observing the incidence of major bleeding and clinical relevant non-major bleeding in patients after knee arthroplasty surgery.
The secondary objectives of this study are effectivity of the agents, compliance, hospital stay, re-hospitalisation, outpatient clinic visits and interventions following complications. Additionally, coagulation monitoring, knee flexion range of motion, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Knee Society Score (KSS) and relationship between health statuses and surgery parameters will be evaluated.
Study design:
The study is designed as non-inferiority randomized open label controlled pilot study. A total of 150 patients will be included, 50 patients in each treatment group (dabigatran, rivaroxaban and nadroparin).
Study population:
Patients ≥ 18 years and weighing more than 40 kg, participate in the 'joint care program' for primary elective total knee arthroplasty and want to provide signed informed consent are eligible for the study.
Patients receive subcutaneously nadroparin or oral rivaroxaban or oral dabigatran after knee replacement surgery.
Main study parameters/endpoints:
The primary safety outcome is the incidence of bleeding events occurring during the study period of 135 days (including follow-up). Major bleeding events and clinically relevant non-major bleeding events were defined according to accepted guidelines.

This blog post at interventionswatch talks about how Tom Malinowski, former 'Washington Director for Human Rights Watch', has just been named the Obama Administration's "Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights". The blogger pointed out
The Revolving Door Between Human Rights Watch and the US State Department
"Before joining Human Rights Watch, he had been 'special assistant to President Bill Clinton and senior director for foreign policy speechwriting at the National Security Council', and 'a speechwriter for Secretaries of State Christopher and Albright and a member of the State Department's policy planning staff'."
The blog post concludes by asking "how on Earth can you expect the U.S. wings of these organisations to report objectively on U.S. government actions, when at a senior level they may as well be appendages of the State Department?"
How indeed?
As if to put an exclamation point on how close the world view of HRW is to that of the US State Department, Ken Roth, executive director of HRW, just had an opinion piece published in the New York Times about the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
Entitled "A Tribunal's Legal Stumble" Ken Roth objects to ICTY's acquittal of a Serb official for war crimes perpetrated in the Balkans during the 1990's. Roth's concern was that plausible deniability allowed the Serb official to get off. Roth explained
"Officials who want to facilitate mass atrocities are rarely so dumb as to give explicit orders. Rather they proceed by indirection, giving aid to a criminal enterprise that is already in motion."
To illustrate this point, Roth gives the kind of examples that any US State Department official would give – in particular the "shabiha in Syria" – a militia fighting on the side of Assad, the West's official enemy in Syria. Roth does not mention the blood soaked "Syrian rebels" whose atrocities would see US, Saudi and EU officials on trial for aiding and abetting war crimes according to the criteria Roth advocates.
Roth praises the ICTY, despite the acquittal he objects to, for being the "gold standard for international justice".
The authors of "The Srebrenica Massacre: Evidence, Context, Politics" (Edward Herman and various other writers), which I reviewed here, thoroughly unmasked the ICTY as outlandishly biased in favour of the Western powers that established it. The authors of the book have been vilified, by liberals especially, for daring to rationally question the number of executions that took place during the Srebrenica Massacre. That vilification campaign has distracted, no doubt intentionally, from how thoroughly the authors shred the credibility of the ICTY.
One fact that really stands out is the ICTY's acquittal of Bosnian Muslim commander Naser Oric, whom the tribunal did not even indict until 2003 (and on minor charges given his crimes). The ICTY initially convicted Oric and sentenced him to a trifling two year sentence. The ICTY later acquitted him.
Naser Oric videotaped his murderous raids on Serb villages and, in 1994, proudly played them for two Western journalists – Bill Schiller of the Toronto Star and John Pomfret of the Washington Post. Bill Schiller, who would go on to become the Star's foreign editor, described Oric as "blood-thirsty" and wrote
"I sat in his living room watching a shocking video version of what might have been called Nasir Oric's Greatest Hits. There were burning houses, dead bodies, severed heads, and people fleeing. Oric grinned throughout, admiring his handiwork." Oric explained the decapitation of one of his victims by noting that his men sometimes used "cold weapons".
Oric also told Schiller that civilians were not "intentionally" killed in these raids but admitted that they sometimes "get in the way". An ICTY spokesperson made the incredible remark that they "found no evidence that there were civilian casualties in the attacks on Serb villages in his [Oric's] theater of operations."
The ICTY never indicted Bosnian Muslim President Alija Izetbegovic or Croatian President Franjo Tudjman. In a lame effort to pass itself off as even handed, the ICTY carried out secret investigations of these men for years and then claimed that it would have indicted them had both not died of natural causes.
The ICTY very belatedly (after years of protests from activists) indicted various Croatians (but no US citizens) for their role in Operation Storm, but it did not indict for "genocide" as it had in the case of the Srebrenica massacre. During Operation Strom, Croatia expelled an estimated 250,000 Serbs from the Krajina area with the direct assistance of US military. About 2000 Serb civilians were killed.
Don't expect any of these facts to impact Roth's assessment of the ICTY – a "gold standard for international justice" if you are a western imperial power.

Auto Industry Thrives Beyond Detroit
Detroit, the city, just entered bankruptcy. A few short years ago, much of "Detroit," another name for the auto manufacturing industry, also entered bankruptcy. Yet, despite these upheavals, the American auto industry is doing quite well. General Motors (GM), Ford (F) and Chrysler (majority owned by Fiat, FIATY) have made surprisingly strong recoveries from the Great Recession when they, particularly GM and Chrysler, were near death. According to Bloomberg, industry sales are on a pace to be the best this year since 2007.
But the big, well-known automakers are not the only ones enjoying the fruits of the industry's revival. Firms related to the auto industry are also experiencing solid growth, including Asbury Automotive Group (ABG), which operates 98 auto franchises at 77 dealership locations in 10 states. It sells and services 29 brands of automobiles, with imports generating over 85% of sales. It has some competitive advantages including its size, track record of growth through acquisition and an emphasis on luxury and imported autos....384 more words left in this article.

Prep baseball: Otters dump fumbling Cards
WILLMAR -- Fergus Falls outfielded and outhit Willmar to take a 6-2 win at Baker Field in Central Lakes Conference baseball on Thursday.
The first of three Willmar errors led to two unearned runs in the top of the first.
Another unearned run scored in the Otters' 3-run sixth, also an infield miscue.
Willmar got two of its three hits in their first at bat when Dean Stier singled and Jason Gunvalson followed with a double. Patrick Courtney's second inning single off Tim Rasmussen was the Cardinals last. Rasmussen went all seven on 1 walk, 2 hit batters and 5 strikeouts.
The Otters got only 5 hits off Stier, who went the first five and Brandon Christenson who finished up. But one of those was a double by Pete Gaustad leading off the fifth and then a two-run triple in the next inning. He scored half his team's 6 runs.
"We had better at bats today," said head coach Mark Stier. "We weren't hitting so many fly balls which we call easy outs."
Willmar fell to 2-4 in the CLC and 3-6 overall. The Cardinals travel to Chanhassen on Monday.
Fergus Falls 6, Willmar 2

if it would be safe to assume that the batteries are connected in series, and not in parallel.
am I even correct in figuring that two AAA 1.5V general purpose batteries are appropriate for this setup?
if all 7 LEDs are lit at 17mA your load current will be at least 0.25 amps (inclusive of the lillypad)
I suppose I don't really understand the difference between the digital I/O and the analog pins.
I could attach two of the LEDs to one pin
And what's to stop me from attaching two LEDs to each of three of the pins and one LED to a fourth?

Moritz M. A., T. J. Moody, M. A. Krawchuk, M. Hughes and A. Hall (February 2010): Spatial variation in extreme winds predicts large wildfire locations in chaparral ecosystem. Geophys. Res. Lett., 37, L04801. doi:10.1029/2009GL041735Full text not available from this repository.
Fire plays a crucial role in many ecosystems, and a better understanding of different controls on fire activity is needed. Here we analyze spatial variation in fire danger during episodic wind events in coastal southern California, a densely populated Mediterranean-climate region. By reconstructing almost a decade of fire weather patterns through detailed simulations of Santa Ana winds, we produced the first high-resolution map of where these hot, dry winds are consistently most severe and which areas are relatively sheltered. We also analyzed over half a century of mapped fire history in chaparral ecosystems of the region, finding that our models successfully predict where the largest wildfires are most likely to occur. There is a surprising lack of information about extreme wind patterns worldwide, and more quantitative analyses of their spatial variation will be important for effective fire management and sustainable long-term urban development on fire-prone landscapes.

New Online Dating Study Finds Like Attracts Like
That whole "opposites attract" thing? Pretty much a myth, at least on dating sites.
A new study out of the University of California, Berkeley has determined that people on online dating sites are drawn to each other based on a similar level of attractiveness and social desirability.
In other words, if you're popular, other popular people will flock to you. And if you're not, well, you'll have more dating success by setting your sights a little lower.

METZINGEN, Germany — Hugo Boss AG, the German luxury-clothing maker controlled by buyout firm Permira Advisers LLP, forecast operating profit will rise this year after it expanded its store network by a third in 2012.
Sales adjusted for currency effects and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and one-time items will rise at "high single-digit rate" in 2013, the Metzingen- based company said in a statement today. Retail sales will be the "growth engine" as they grow by a "double-digit" percentage, Chief Executive Officer Claus-Dietrich Lahrs said in a television interview.
We see "major opportunities to continue to grow profitably and further enhance the perception of our brands in 2013," especially in retail, Chief Executive Officer Claus-Dietrich Lahrs said in the statement.
The maker of men's suits said it will spend more this year, which it expects to be "challenging," as it expands its own store network after retail sales exceeded wholesale sales for the first time in 2012. Hugo Boss added 218 stores net last year, including in Brussels, Toronto and Melbourne, expanding the total number of stores by 35 percent to 840.
The company maintained its forecasts for revenue of 3 billion euros and Ebitda of 750 million euros in 2015 as it opens more stores and increases sales in Asia and the U.S. The clothing retailer said the retail business will represent about 55 percent of revenue by that year as it opens about 50 stores annually.
Stable Wholesale
The wholesale business will be "approximately stable" this year, Hugo Boss said.
"Plans to increase capital expenditure should not be an issue," said Sebastian Frericks, an analyst at Bankhaus Metzler. "The outlook for both sales and earnings is no surprise."
The retailer said yesterday it will increase its dividend to 3.12 euros a share for 2012, missing a 3.20 euro a share Bloomberg forecast.
Hugo Boss reported fourth-quarter operating profit and sales that topped analysts' estimates last month. Sales rose 24 percent in Europe in the fourth quarter while revenue in America gained 18 percent, Hugo Boss said today.
Net debt fell to 130 million euros at the end of 2012 from 149 million euros the year before, Hugo Boss said.
Permira, based in London, acquired a majority holding in Valentino Fashion Group SpA in 2007. Valentino was Hugo Boss's parent company at the time. Permira owns a stake of about 66 percent in Hugo Boss, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Hugo Boss shares have gained 13 percent this year, in line with the benchmark MDAX Index.

The story of Street Fighter X Tekken begins with a mysterious meteor that crash lands in the Antarctic. An unnatural object in the shape of a box was discovered among the fragments of the meteorite. Researchers from all over the world have studied the object, and despite not finding any conventional way of opening it, they discovered that it gives off a strong response when living creatures came into conflict with each other. Researchers have nicknamed the object Pandora.
The power of Pandora, in addition to granting the personal wishes and hidden desires of others (as seen in the Street Fighter X Tekken Vita episodes), can cause the power of a person's natural strength to grow to levels beyond their own natural limits (as seen with Dudley, who was able to punch a Pandora infused mammoth from a faraway place), and can also awaken and merge (and potentially influence) with other inner powers.
However, the energy from Pandora's Box will negatively influence the user over time, and will eventually corrupt the minds, souls, and emotions of others: its ability to influence minds has some considerable range, being able to reach out to beings that are far away like that of Akuma and Ogre, and many people around the globe.
The energy from the box appears have addictive and negative qualities, those who are affected by its dark power will become far more violent and dangerous, and even causing them to completely lose self-awareness of themselves and absolute control over their actions, when under the influence of Pandora, the individual will have markings on their body, their skin will glow a blackish color, their eyes will glow red, and their voice will grow somewhat darker (though more of an echo).
When the players activate Pandora, his or her partner's strength will increase exponentially. However it comes with a high price: the player sacrifices his or her current character to tag in the partner into Pandora Mode. Pandora is a system with a built-in time limit. In Pandora mode, the Cross Gauge will be fihowlled to maximum capacity, and the player will be able to use EX and Super Arts infinitely. However, if the player is not able to defeat the opponent within the time limit, he or she will automatically be knocked out.

LARGO — A 26-year-old Clearwater man has been arrested on felony charges of DUI manslaughter and driving while license suspended or revoked in connection with a fatal crash.
Christopher Alan Tridico was speeding when his Chevrolet Impala struck a Lincoln about 8:30 p.m. April 14 in front of Cove Cay condominiums, Largo police said.
Killed in the crash was Louise Stevens, 75, of Clearwater, who was a passenger in the 2006 Lincoln driven by her husband, Robert Stevens.
The Stevenses were southbound on U.S. 19 and attempting to turn left into Cove Cay when they were struck by the Chevy, which was headed north, police said.
Witnesses said the Impala was going between 80 and 100 miles per hour when it crashed into the Lincoln. One witness said she changed lanes to avoid being hit by Tridico moments before the accident.
The Chevy hit the Lincoln on the passenger side. Louise Stevens was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Robert Stevens was seriously injured and taken to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. On Thursday, he was listed in fair condition, said a hospital spokeswoman.
A witness pulled Tridico from his car, which flipped over after the impact and landed upside down in a drainage ditch, police said.
Bail was set at $50,000 for Tridico.
Tridico previously has been arrested in Florida on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and dealing in stolen property. The stolen property charge was later dismissed. The disposition of the other charge was not available Thursday.

This is a post which is part answer for those having trouble installing SilverStripe on shared hosting servers, in particular 1&1 (1 & 1, One & one, whatever they're called) and part request for help from those who can help me make sense of what I did right.
The situation: I couldn't get SS to install at all.
First problem: When I called the install.php page I got a parse error or a white page.
This was caused by the fact that the default PHP on the webserver was 4 and I needed PHP5. The problem was solved by creating a new htaccess file telling the server to load PHP5 - ask your hosting company for the file. I used this:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
Second problem: Now the install screen appeared but there were warnings telling me that 1) SS couldn't tell which software was on the sever and 2) couldn't tell whether mod_rewrite was working or enabled.
I clicked install and it went through the install, including populating the tables in the database. But then it hit a problem saying that mod_rewrite didn't seem to be working but I could force it to go on.
This then resulted in a parse error in the manifestbuilder line 35.
I tried out various solutions, some from this forum and others from elsewhere.
Suggestions were:
1. Tell the htaccess file to force mod_rewrite - a forum member gave an example and my provider told me a version. But it didn't work.
2. Create a php.ini file in which the command allow_url_fopen was set to 'on'. My provider told me that, for security reasons, it was off in PHP5 but you could force it on in one folder by putting a command in a php.ini file that you place in that folder. The command switched allow_url_fopen on but still didn't result in install success.
3. Got a new htaccess file from my provider with mod_rewrite in it:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond % index/(.*)\.html$
RewriteRule index/(.*)\.html$ /index.php?kategorie=$1
The long and short of it is, I went away, had a cup of tea, had a bath, came back, started install again by putting in the htaccess file AddType x-mapp-php5 .php / AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php (as above) and voila, it worked.
I did however get 2 warnings:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/0/d68570838/htdocs/sprachlernstrategien/ss_site/rewritetest.php on line 47
Warning: file_get_contents(http://sprachlernstrategien.de/ss_site/InstallerTest/testrewrite) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /homepages/0/d68570838/htdocs/sprachlernstrategien/ss_site/rewritetest.php on line 47
mod_rewrite is working! I will now try and direct you to home/successfullyinstalled to confirm that the installation was successful.
It still works, though!
But how did it work? Was it the php.ini file? Or did the allow_url_fopen command do the trick? Or was it the new htaccess command from my provider? Or was it the mix? And should I be worried about those two warnings?
What I understand is that servers don't update immediately when you request changes, but on regular intervals. Could it be that one of the above did the trick and was then available for install?
To new SS installers - if at first you don't succeed, you know the rest
To clever programmers there: what brought about success. I'm trying to install it elsewhere, linked to a differnet database and haven't got it to work yet. Would be great to know what I did right.
Any ideas?

Honeymoons are evolving. The latest trend shows that some couples are abandoning the idea of a traditional honeymoon right after the wedding, instead opting for a series of short getaways throughout their first year of marriage.
Though it's doubtful this option will entirely replace a two-week jaunt through Europe or 10 days vegging out at an all-inclusive Caribbean resort, today's couples are reinventing the idea of a post-marital getaway.
The choice to do a series of 'mini-honeymoons' is partially out of necessity: couples have limited vacation time off from work, or they spend their budget on the wedding itself, leaving less of a honeymoon fund for an extravagant trip.
Other reasons are more romantic, such as the idea of extending your honeymoon phase throughout the whole first year of marriage, or allowing each person to create their own trip. Perhaps she wants a whirlwind weekend in Las Vegas and he'd like to hike in Yosemite. With a series of short honeymoon trips, no one has to compromise on their ideal vacation – you can do it all!
Maureen and Alessandro, a couple who created a Zankyou wedding registry earlier this year, chose to go on a series of weekend getaways, due to "the presence of a young child, work commitments, and the desire to please both of us."
Maureen loves to travel, and was already thinking of all the most exotic honeymoon destinations imaginable as the couple planned their wedding. Alessandro, however, is more of a homebody, so they came up with a perfect compromise: a few weekend getaways to keep the bride from getting wanderlust, but trips that were short enough that the groom wouldn't be longing for the comforts of home. We interviewed the couple about their non-traditional honeymoon(s) and their experience using Zankyou.
"Alessandro and I had already lived together for three years, and we have a beautiful 11-month-old baby," explains Maureen. "Going somewhere far away for any length of time did not seem like the right idea, because Alessandro is married to his work, and leaving our son for a long time was unthinkable. So I got the idea of 'weekend honeymoons'; some with our son – such as a weekend spent at Disneyland – and some just for us as a romantic getaway from reality."
The couple's friends and relatives loved the idea, and Maureen and Alessandro registered for different attractions and activities to be used throughout the year.
"Through Zankyou, I've divided the gifts into five weekends and selected hotels, restaurants, tours, dinners, etc. for each one," says Maureen, who admits that she especially enjoyed this task, as she works in the tourism industry. "But I can say that, with a little imagination, Zankyou allows everyone to achieve their dream (honeymoon)."
The couple lives in Italy, but held their wedding in Paris, tacking on a few extra days after the ceremony to enjoy the first of their five mini-honeymoon weekends. "I registered for the flight, a hotel downtown for two nights, a tour of the city and a helicopter ride, and then a transfer to Marne Valley to take our mini-trip to Disneyland Paris," Maureen explains. "I even registered for a breakfast with the Disney characters!"
"Zankyou.com was crucial since no other website allows you to choose a list of everything you want for your wedding, from hotels to attractions. It's easy. I just found the cost, pictures and details from the official websites and copied them onto our wedding website. And when we went to Paris, I remembered who gifted each activity to us as we enjoyed them," says Maureen. "It was nice to connect each experience to someone special."
Are you considering a non-traditional honeymoon? Tell us about it!
This interview originally appeared at Zankyou Italy.

Digital Savant: 3-D modeling gives me a peek at my (virtual) nose job
Nov 07, 2012 (Austin American-Statesman - McClatchy-Tribune News Service via COMTEX) -- "You don't have a very bad nose," the plastic surgeon told me. "There's not a lot to do here." I breathed a sigh of relief. It's one thing to have a healthy self-image, it's quite another for a professional to tell you that a prominent feature on your face isn't making her scalpel hand itchy.
I've never wanted (or, it turns out, needed) rhinoplasty, but I was very curious about a new technology housed in Dr. Jennifer Walden's plastic surgery practice. "Vectra 3D," an imaging tool put out by a New Jersey company called Canfield Imaging Systems, has been in use there since September and nearly 100 patients have been digitally scanned using it.
Vectra 3D looks like a tall piece of gym equipment with arms, but instead of working out on it, you stand in front of its six cameras, holding perfectly still as it photographs your face, breasts or any other body part expected to go under the knife.
The photographs go to a nearby computer that builds, in just a few minutes, a highly detailed 3-D model that can be rotated and adjusted with a set of tools used by plastic surgeons like Walden.
It was at this point, after my face had been swabbed with alcohol and I'd been scanned, my pores and eyebrows and beard and that nose digitally rebuilt, that my virtual plastic surgery consultation began.
Walden, an Austin native who brought her practice to town in December after a successful run in Manhattan, is well-known on TV channels like E! and VH1 for her frequent appearance on celebrity plastic surgery shows like "Extreme Dr. 90210." One of her clients was "The Biggest Loser" winner Olivia Ward. Walden, who came back to town to raise her 2-year-old twin boys here, is an early adopter.
Though they've only been around four or five years and are still not mainstream, she believes such 3-D imaging systems will be standard in about 10 years. Walden's Vectra system is the first of its kind in the Austin area and cost about $40,000.
As we examine my face in great detail, I decide to leave all vanity behind. That turns out not to be so easy. I'm not really planning on having surgery, but when a digital image of your face is blown up on a monitor and a doctor starts examining the contours of your schnoz, it's difficult not to feel self-conscious.
"You have a very good bridge," Walden tells me.
My confidence surges.
"If I were doing your nose, I'd probably lower it just a bit. You have good tip projection. I might just bring it back a bit." What Is my bridge too high Does my nasal tip stick out too much You guys, DOES THIS NOSE MAKE ME LOOK FAT ! Walden assures me that this is just a hypothetical to test out the technology. I try not to freak out.
What follows wouldn't seem unfamiliar to anyone who's watched a graphic artist do detail work in Photoshop or a video game player who's uploaded a webcam image of his or her face to use in a football or hockey game. Using the system's software, Walden can make adjustments to the nose, narrowing it, eliminating a nasal lump or making other automated visual changes, then going in and fine-tuning manually.
She carefully carves the bridge of my digitized nose a bit, brings in the tip and, using a front view, narrows the nose carefully.
"Do you have anything in a Disney Princess nose " I ask, trying to help.
The digital imaging appears much finer and the tools more subtle than those you'd find in most consumer photo-editing software. There are no seams in the constructed digital face and you'd swear you could print out a fleshy copy of it and stick it on Nicolas Cage for a scene in the movie "Face/ Off." The image swings smoothly in 3-D from front to profile view. It can be rotated back so that you can get a clear view up my nostrils.
When the doctor is done, she shows me a side-by-side comparison of my nose before and after the digital rhinoplasty. It's not an extreme change, but there's a clear difference. My nose is a little thinner and sticks out a bit less, but doesn't seem out of place on my face.
"You just got a conservative nose job," Walden says.
You could have a lot of fun with Vectra, I imagine, playing "Weird Science" with people's bodies, but Walden says that above all else, the system is practical and useful for both patients and plastic surgeons.
"It shows people what they'll look like, realistically, after the surgery. It really is just a better, more accurate analysis of the anatomy." Plastic surgeons typically use 2-D imaging tools now and in the past simply drew on printed photos to give patients an idea of what to expect.
In some examples that Walden showed me, a more extreme rhinoplasty eliminated a patients pronounced bridge bump. And in the case of a recent breast augmentation, the 3-D model was able to help the patient and doctor determine the appropriate size for implants and to see that, due to scoliosis, one implant would need to be slightly larger than the other.
"It confirmed the pre-operative analysis and aided in the decision making," Walden said. "Not unlike a lot of women (the patient) waffled in what size implants she wanted for a while. I was able to give her objective evidence of what it would look like." The imaging is so helpful that Walden doesn't add the use of it to the cost of any of her procedures.
Despite the plastic surgeon's obvious skills, I'm keeping my current nose. But if I decide in a few years that a brow lift or tummy tuck is in order (hey, don't judge), it's reassuring to know that I'll be able to get a pretty detailed 3-D preview of the new me.
(EDITORS: STORY CAN END HERE) ___ DIGITAL SAVANT MICRO: WHAT IS WINDOWS RT Microsoft recently had a high-profile launch of its new operating system, Windows 8, which drastically changes how Windows users will interact with their computers and other devices.
But unexplained in the commercials is why there's Windows 8 as well as a separate new piece of software called Windows RT that was rolled out at the same time. What is Windows RT and how is it different While Windows 8 is meant to power desktops, laptops and other systems using hardware from companies like Intel and AMD, Windows RT is meant for mobile devices running processors from a company called ARM.
Windows RT won't run traditional desktop applications from the Windows world like Photoshop, the desktop versions of Microsoft Office or anything else that wasn't built for Windows 8. Instead, RT will run mobile apps specifically built for that platform.
The first major device running Windows RT is Surface, a Microsoft-built tablet that launched on Oct. 26 and starts at $499. It comes with a suite of apps for email, web browsing and other functions and runs mobile versions of Microsoft software like Word and Excel.
A pricier version of the Surface tablet, running a full version of Windows 8 and powered by an Intel processor, should be out in a few months. It's expected to run all Windows 8 applications, not just ones built for mobile devices.

Prime Prep scolded by 11-3A DEC for disorganization, lack of transparency
Deion Sanders' Prime Prep Academy might not be ready for prime time, after all.
The charter school, slated to play a nine-game varsity football schedule this season in its first year of existence, told the District 11-3A executive committee Friday morning it would not be able to field a varsity football team.
But after Prime Prep's interim athletic director Cleveland Starr broke the news to visibly surprised coaches and administrators, things took an unexpected turn. In footage provided to The Dallas Morning News by WFAA investigative reporter Brett Shipp, the executive committee voted to not only exclude Prime Prep from district participation in football, but in all sports at all high school levels.
The prohibition however doesn't prevent Prime Prep from playing a full slate of nondistrict games.
"This is a big disappointment," Starr told Shipp. "What happens from here, we will just have to wait and see."
Arriving late to the meeting, Starr told the committee that up to 80 percent of Prime Prep's 30 football players lived outside of the school's home boundary, making them ineligible for varsity.
For this season, according to UIL rules regarding charter schools, a student who resides within Dallas ISD's boundaries would be eligible to play varsity sports at Prime Prep right away. Prime Prep, however, can accept students from other districts. Those students would be ineligible for varsity athletics for a year.
Starr floated the idea that Prime Prep could play at the sub-varsity level in football, but that suggestion was swept aside by committee members. They also scolded Starr for Prime Prep's lack of transparency and for deadlines the school missed over the summer for providing information to other district members.
As the meeting progressed, the administrators became increasing irritated at Starr, who, for example, did not provide any coaching contact information for all but three sports, nor could he give the committee Previous Athletic Participation Forms for any prospective volleyball players.
Prodded by chairwomen Marian Willard, the principal of Dallas Madison, the committee voted twice, once to "sever ties" on the varsity level, then again regarding all sports at the high school level.
The vote twice passed unanimously, by other District 11-3A members — Madison, Roosevelt, Wilmer-Hutchins, Ferris and Irving North Hills — despite two recommendations by Dallas ISD assistant athletic director Goree Johnson to "stick with the sports at hand," football and volleyball.
Before knowing the full details of the district executive committee meeting, Prime Prep co-founder D.L. Wallace said any prohibition apart from varsity football would overstep the bounds of the committee.
DISD athletic director Jeff Johnson said the meeting's recommendation will go to the state's executive board for approval.

It's a great way to stay in touch and to explain concepts in depth. For example, we love to use email to talk about different artisans behind our collections, their inspirations, and their passions. This really helps our products come alive.
What is the biggest mistake people make in email marketing and how can it be avoided?
Sending the same offer over and over again.
Readers are real people, and they need to feel like you are crafting carefully-constructed messages for them to read. Their time is valuable and they want their emails to feel authentic.
If you could give one email marketing tip to others, what would it be?
Mix it up. Try different kinds of e-mails: some educational, some fun, some offers.

text: We still can't wrap our heads around naming the second Prius model the V. Prius V — for versatility — on its own is fine, but the trim levels of the original car are II, III, IV and V. Toyota actually had to rework the Roman numerals into spelled-out numbers, so now when you buy a Prius or Prius V the trims will be Two, Three, Four or Five. Does any of that make a difference to Cars.com editor Kelsey Mays in his review of the larger Prius V? Not really, but considering how similar the new model is to the regular Prius, why try and confuse buyers even more?

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
While the Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X is great at upscaling DVDs, its lack of BD-Live capabilities is hard to ignore given its price point.
The Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X Blu-ray player provides fantastic picture quality, but its lack of BD-Live support and relatively high price are hard to ignore.
It is an attractive Blu-ray player with a mechanised face-plate and a stylish piano-black body. Two circular lights indicate if a Blu-ray disc or DVD is being played; they be switched off using the remote control.
Sharp's marketing claims a function called "Quick Start" can get a Blu-ray disc playing in 10 seconds. We found this time to be generally accurate, but it only works with a previously played disc that is sitting in the drive already, and it uses more power than standby mode. The regular start-up time is only 25 seconds, so Quick Start is something of a gimmick.
Far more impressive is the picture quality produced when upscaling DVDs. We tested a number of DVD movies including The Matrix, Army of Darkness and V for Vendetta, and found that all of them came out brilliantly on our 55in LCD test panel. Image clarity was surprisingly good, while motion was displayed without any jaggedness or artefacts. In fact, we think the Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X is as good as the very expensive Sony BDP-S5000ES Blu-ray player when it comes to upscaling DVDs.
Blu-ray movies were displayed with realism and sharp detail. The Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X supports 1080p resolution and 24Hz output (to match the frame rate used by movie cameras), which is important to enthusiasts looking to build a good home theatre system.
The Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X doesn't have an Ethernet port and therefore does not support BD-Live (Blu-ray Profile 2.0), unlike some recent entry-level Blu-ray players such as the LG BD300 and the Samsung BD-P1500.
BD-Live is a feature that allows you to connect a Blu-ray player to the Internet using an Ethernet port. You can then access extra content and features when you are using a BD-Live disc.
The Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X has a USB port, but it doesn't support playing media from a USB drive. It is designed for storing Blu-ray movie user preferences and data, as well as firmware updates.
Unlike the similarly priced Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player, the Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X lacks 7.1-channel analog outputs, relying instead on an HDMI 1.3 port for 7.1-channel sound. The digital audio optical port at the rear can handle 5.1-channel sound, and a digital audio coaxial port is provided as well. Component and S-Video out ports are present, as is an analog/stereo RCA connection.
The Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X can handle a variety of audio formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Advanced Digital Out.
The bottom line is that while the Sharp AQUOS BDHP50X provides excellent picture quality, the lack of BD-Live capabilities at this price point is very disappointing.

Michigan License Plate Design Ranks Near Bottom in National Poll
Michigan's standard license plate has very little appeal, according to a poll conducted by CarInsurance.com which asked visitors to vote for their favorite – and least favorite – plate designs. Our Pure Michigan white plate ranked at number 50 out of 51 in the survey, which included Washington DC.
Only Delaware's design was deemed lower, with a plate that ironically reads, "The First State."
Wyoming takes top honors, followed by Utah, Alabama, Arizona, and Oregon.
We think it's just a bit unfair that only our plain white Pure Michigan plate was included, as Michigan's Mackinac Bridge plate bears a much more appealing design!
You can take part in the site's poll here.

Getting Back in the Gym After 50
Fitness Tips from Alexis Abramson, PhD
Are you over 50 and feeling out of shape? Before you head to the gym, be sure to follow these tips from gerontology expert, Dr. Alexis Abramson.
Consult Your Doctor: Anyone first starting to workout should always consult their personal physician first to determine what restrictions, if any, should be placed on their exercise program. With various diagnoses including arthritis, spinal conditions, and neurological disorders, it is also helpful to have a physical therapist involved in the development and monitoring of your exercise program.
Proceed with Caution: Anyone beginning an exercise regimen should begin slowly. Allow yourself to get used to the strain of physical activity. As your body adjusts, you'll be able to increase the duration and intensity of your program. Remember, you can achieve your fitness goals with moderate-intensity exercise, you do not need to overexert yourself. If you feel any discomfort, stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor.
Choose the Right Trainer: Working with a certified personal trainer allows you to achieve results quickly, safely and more effectively than working out on your own. Personal training is a great tool to maximize your results and minimize the risk of injury. Your trainer will design a personalized program based on your specific fitness goals and the activities you enjoy.
Set Fitness Goals: Discuss your health and fitness goals with your trainer so that he/she can design a routine that will help you maximize your effort towards achieving those goals.GO BACK
