You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We are getting married in Sonoma County surrounded by vineyards. I looked all over to find something that fit with our location. I am glad I found this - they are very nice, and good quality!"
"I absolutely love my invitations and so many people have commented on how simple and elegant they are. They are really great quality and are really a steal in comparison to traditional stationary stores. Also, I really appreciated how responsive Customer Service was in sending my proofs as well as answering all of my questions over the chat function. Very professional and courteous, and I definitely plan to use this website again. I've already told my sister she has to have Wedding Paper Divas invitations for her upcoming wedding!"
"The Rustic Romance place cards fit perfectly with my daughter's vineyard themed wedding. She was especially happy to see that this design was available in place cards, as she had used it for her Save the Dates months ago. We love that items can be personalized with specific instructions to Wedding Paper Divas. Since the tables at the wedding will be identified by using the names of wines, rather than with numbers, we needed a longer line on which to write the names. This was easily accomplished by asking the company to move the word "Table" all the way to the left, and to print a longer line. The cards came out perfect! We are very happy with the quality of the paper and especially with the ability to proof and revise items before ordering them. Besides the Save the Dates and the place cards, I also used Wedding Paper Divas for her bridal shower invitations and for the ceremony programs. I was very happy with them as well. I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas' products!"

"I can recall being in the Pentagon as an ensign, which is the lowest ranking naval officer, chairing a meeting of 15 or 20 people, all of whom were captains. A captain is an 06 and ensign is an 01. It just didn't make sense," Woods laughed. "But I was the producer, writer, director and they were the experts on the different projects. It was logical that I was chairing the meeting, but I always felt a little bit unnerved."
In between producing four films a year, Woods worked as a technical information officer within the Office of Naval Research, where he pursued basic research on technical information including the stratolab - pre-satellite manned balloon flights that traveled above the Earth's atmosphere - stratoscope - a telescope camera that took the sharpest photos of the sun ever taken - and the Bathyscaphe Trieste - a research craft famous for diving in the Mariana Trench to reach the deepest part of the ocean yet explored - for which he received front-page coverage from The New York Times and The Washington Post.
Following filmmaking, he worked for about six years in the defense industry. Woods then went from Florida back to Washington, D.C., as he was selected to work as a Navy civilian for the Speech Bureau, located on the C-ring of the Pentagon.
It was a particularly timely career change, Woods mused.
"I had been quite a follower of John Kennedy. And he had just been killed," he said. "And he said 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.' He was killed in November and I think I took this job in December."
Woods stayed in Washington for the subsequent 25 years.
During this time, after the Speech Bureau's projects concluded, he was commissioned by the Naval Material Command to write speeches for admirals.
Concurrently, Woods continued his duties with the Naval Reserve, where he served in the category of public affairs. He planned and directed more than half a dozen two-week Navy public speaking seminars and workshops across the country. He also grew involved with more than a dozen international, national and regional naval and military associations. He was active as a board member of the Reserve Officers Association, which eventually led to his one-year presidency of the 126,000-member affiliation. At that position, in 1985, he met President Ronald Reagan.
"Life is pretty much what you make it," Woods said. "The Reserve has given me an opportunity to certainly expand my horizons and do and get into a lot of things that I would never have been able to get into before. If you size your opportunities and make the best of them, they will multiply."
For a decade, Woods, who is often referred to as Navy Dave, served as a Readiness Command PAO and regional program officer. His last significant act of duty within the Reserve was spent aboard the USS Mount Whitney - a major U.S. command ship - above the Arctic Circle off the coast of Norway. For nearly two dozen days, Woods was the Senior PAO for NATO's largest exercise, overseeing reserves on six different U.S., U.K. and Canadian Navy ships.
Not bad, Woods said, for a seaman recruit from San Jose.
In addition to his 30-year career as a civilian Department of the Navy employee, Woods, who has five daughters and five grandchildren, has taught speech classes part-time at several universities, including the University of Maryland, University of Virginia, George Washington University and, now, Marshall University, throughout his life.
And with a life full of experiences, Woods sure has stories to tell.
When he was a khaki uniform ensign flying out of National Airport, now Reagan National Airport, Woods noticed a striking woman and could not help but admire her. In doing so, he bumped into the man she was with, who happened to be Sen. Jack Kennedy.
"Of course he's no fool, he knew that I was looking at his wife, that's why I ran into him," Woods said. "I said 'oh, excuse me, senator, I wasn't looking where I was going.' And he looked at me and gave me that glint look he has and a big smile and said, 'That's all right son, I was an ensign once myself.'"
Though he served four years on active duty and continued to have a 40-year career in the Navy, serving in at least 30 states and 13 nations, Woods is not eligible for membership in the VFW or American Legion, as he did not serve on active duty in a period of national emergency.
Still, for Woods, whose title is now Captain, USNR, Ret. David Woods, nothing compares to the Navy.
"By and large, I have had a chance to work on interesting subjects in interesting places and try and interest, generally, sometimes the public audience, sometimes the private audience," Woods said. "I don't know that I would have done much of anything very different if I had the chance to do it over."

North Vancouver grain storage expansion back for second consultation
A controversial plan to add a new wing of silos to a North Vancouver grain storage facility enters its second public consultation phase this week. And while Richardson International Ltd. says it's prepared to make concessions to residents for dust- and noise-mitigating measures, the Winnipeg-based company won't budge on the bigger concerns of silo placement or financial compensation.
"We haven't changed the project itself significantly, but what we have done, though, is we've looked at ways we can mitigate some of the concerns," Richardson spokeswoman Tracey Shelton told The Outlook Monday.
A company report released Friday summarized some of the concerns raised by residents and stakeholders during Phase One of public consultations in October. Chief among them; neighbours near the Low Level Road storage facility were concerned about the possibility of increased noise, dust and traffic in their neighbourhoods — not just during construction of the 28 new storage silos, but once they're operational too.
The main source of construction noise during the first four months of the build-out will be from pile driving. But according to Richardson, the company will use a non-traditional vibratory hammer and hydraulic hammer combo — a significantly quieter method of piling, according to the report.
"We're looking at installing extra filters and additional cladding to really abate some of the noise," Shelton added.
Still, residents in homes closest to the site were outraged to learn last October they would lose their southern views of the inlet once the 50-metre-high silos are built on the east flank of the existing building.
Concerned the 171-metre-long silo wall would drastically lower their property values, many asked for some kind of remuneration.
"Richardson is not a public entity and is, therefore, not obligated to purchase land or compensate property owners for any impacts," came the response in Friday's report. "Richardson will not provide compensation to property owners."
A second round of public engagement begins this week as Richardson moves forward on its application with Port Metro Vancouver to increase its North Van storage and shipping capacity from three million tonnes of grain and oilseeds to five million tonnes annually.
Richardson anticipates the construction phase will be delivered in two years, if approved. But that won't spell the end for disruptions in the neighbourhood.
A study released Monday by the MMM Group suggests the new silos would negatively impact the views of 29 additional properties to the north east of the current site. Of those, a dozen homes on East First Street — the most heavily impacted area — would lose more than 50 per cent of their fields of view.
Those homes will also experience increased shading on their properties in the fall and winter months from the new wall of concrete silos.
The same study, commissioned by Richardson, estimated a 67-per-cent increase in railcar traffic rumbling through Richardson's rail yard to meet the parallel increase in grain and seed output, meaning a jump from 119 cars today to 198 if the addition is built.
The add-on would also bring more weekend workers to Richardson as new shifts are added to keep up with the increased output.
The MMM study also considered noise impacts on the surrounding neighbourhood once the east annex is up and running. Its main concern was nighttime noise caused by trains shunting in the yard, which the study authors predict would rise from 118 shunting events now to 130 in the future. This, they said, would cause a 2.8-per-cent increase in the probability of sleep disturbance for those residents nearest Richardson.
However, with the completion of the Low Level Road realignment project, the study predicted noise from Richardson would drop off as noise mitigating structures like sound barriers are erected between now and 2025.
Richardson will hold two public open houses on the project this week at North Vancouver's Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier; the first from 6 to 9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 24, and the last from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26.
Following these sessions, public input on the project will be collected until Feb. 8, when the consultation process is closed.
"Then we will take all of that comment and again summarize it and take a look at it," Shelton said. "And then we will come out after that with a final memo outlining what we heard and a final proposal for this project,"

Starring Wes Chathan as the Philly Kid, Neal Mcdonough and Devon Sawa
Los Angeles, CA (April 12, 2012) - Dark Castle Home Entertainment and After Dark Films recently unveiled the new action movie franchise AFTER DARK ACTION, which will showcase five original, adrenaline-pumping films theatrically as a commercial film festival in markets nationwide and on VOD on May 11..
Starring Wes Chatham, Neal McDonough and Devon Sawa. Directed by Jason Connery. Written by Adam Mervis
On the same night that he was crowned an NCAA wrestling champion, Dillon McCabe (Wes Chatham) was involved in the killing of a cop and then sentenced to fifteen years of prison. Ten years later, Dillon is paroled back onto the streets of his run-down Baton Rouge neighborhood. Before he can pick up the pieces of his life, his best friend gets in trouble with a vicious loan shark. To get the money to free him, Dillon must return to fighting – this time, mixed martial arts. But his quick, brutal success gets him into more trouble than ever. And after three vicious triumphs, he discovers that his real opponent is a corrupt system that requires him to do the impossible: lose.
About After Dark Films:

Co-founder and CEO Courtney Solomon wrote, produced, and directed this film under the newly formed After Dark Films banner.
After the release of An American Haunting, partners Solomon and Zeman formed a multiyear marketing and distribution deal for Horrorfest "8 Films To Die For®" between After Dark Films and Lionsgate Entertainment, with After Dark handling theatrical marketing & releases and Lionsgate handling the distribution of all ancillary forms of media (Home Video, Pay TV, Pay Per View).

Last week, the nations of the world agreed that the pesticide endosulfan is too toxic for people and the planet to bear. As our staff scientist Karl Tupper reported from Geneva, 173 countries agreed to ban the chemical through the Stockholm Convention, recognizing that innovative farmers across the globe are already growing coffee, cashew, chocolate and cotton without a drop of the deadly pesticide.
Looks like the Obama Administration has a second chance to get it right on food and agricultural research. Last week, the director of the relatively new National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), Roger Beachy, announced his resignation. Previously, Beachy had served as president of Monsanto's de facto nonprofit research arm, the Danforth Plant Science Center.
The abrupt resignation leaves open an influential public research post — one that could this time be filled by a scientist without deep ties to corporate agribusiness, but who might instead prioritize sustainable, agroecological and organic food and farming systems.
As the sun crested the Berkeley hills early yesterday, I logged on to the Washington Post's live feed of its daylong conference, The Future of Food. For the next 8 hours, I enjoyed a veritable feast of thoughtful, well-evidenced and deeply inspiring calls to embrace a new agriculture, rooted in community and ecological resilience. The messengers included the Prince of Wales — who seamlessly knitted together the challenges of our failing global food system with a clear vision for the future — Eric Schlosser, Wendell Berry, Vandana Shiva and many more.
Do you ever wish it were easier to find fresh, healthy food for your family? Are you outraged by a food system that fills the pockets of giant corporations and denies fairness to farmers and farmworkers alike? Do you yearn to be part of a powerful, growing movement that's spreading across the U.S. (and in fact the world), and that's transforming our relationship to food — and each other — in the most fundamental ways imaginable?
If so, join us for a lively conversation about food justice, food sovereignty and food democracy — in this and future blog posts, or live and in person in San Francisco next Monday.
Farmers are the stewards of the land; sadly, politics often dictate how they farm. In the coming days, Congress will make decisions on funding priorities for 2012, and dramatic cuts to soil conservation programs are being proposed.
We cannot afford to let this happen. Our nation's ability to produce adequate healthy food, and to protect vital air and water resources, depend on how we treat the soil. Cutting soil conservation programs now will have devastating consequences long into the future. Call your Congressmember today and let them know healthy soil is well worth the modest investment.
Strawberries were on the agenda at the recent Social Justice Summit hosted by Cal State Fullerton. In a lively workshop entitled Strawberry Fields Forever: Pesticides and Environmental Injustice in California, students developed strategies to roll back the controversial fumigant pesticide methyl iodide.
Like any parent, when I drop off my kids at school, I want to trust they'll be safe. Safe from violence, safe from bullying, safe from diseases and pests — and safe from pesticides that can cause them harm.
As evidence continues to pile up that pesticides can harm children's health and development, many schools are finding ways to control pests on school grounds without spraying dangerous chemicals. A new report from our coalition partners, Californians for Pesticide Reform (CPR), outlines the scope of the problem, the most innovative solutions, and ways parents and policymakers alike can help get pesticides out of school buildings and playgrounds.
Geneva, April 29: I am extremely pleased to report that the Parties to the Stockholm Convention have just agreed to phase out endosulfan globally! This is a huge victory for PAN and our partners around the world, most especially our civil society colleagues in India who have worked tirelessly to make this happen.
The final decision has a few loopholes (they almost always do), allowing endosulfan to be used on certain crops against some specific pests for the next six years. But we're nonetheless very happy, and I'm certainly relieved. The loopholes ("specific exemptions" in the language of the treaty) were a necessary, if unfortunate, compromise needed to get India to agree to the ban. Still, most uses will end next summer, with a short list winding down through 2017. And then that's it: no more endosulfan.
New tests conducted by British scientists show that widely used agricultural pesticides disrupt male hormones, and may be contributing to a suite of reproductive disorders increasingly common among men.
Reduced sperm count, infertility and abnormal genitals are among the problems some scientists have dubbed "testicular dysgenesis syndrome." This latest study greatly strengthens the evidence that these problems may be linked to environmental contaminants.
Since 2008, Brazil has held the dubious distinction of spending more on pesticides than anyplace else on earth. But what has the country's farmers, public health professionals and environmental advocates even more worried is Brazil's corresponding rise in planting of genetically engineered (GE) crops, engineered to tolerate mega-doses of herbicides like glyphosate (Roundup). And these crops are driving emergence of herbicide-tolerant "superweeds".

In Arizona, Some Retirees Caught In Never-Ending Battle With Invasive Species
by Ted Robbins
Jan 25, 2013 (All Things Considered) — Rather than rest in retirement, a group of volunteers is restoring land in Arizona's Ironwood Forest National Monument to its natural habitat. Their main goal is to eliminate invasive buffelgrass, which is taking over and causing a fire hazard. It's no small task -- they've removed it from the same place 40 times.

It is a hot day at Wye Hall, the plantation of William Paca on the Wye River. The brick, Colonial-revival mansion (a reconstruction of the original home that burned) rises up on a series of lush green terraces surmounted by boxwood. In smaller gardens, coneflowers, Russian sage, Germander, crape myrtle, and zinnias resiliently face the heat, and wild meadows meander into agricultural fields that disappear into forests and a hazy horizon. There is hardly any sound save for the quiet hum of wildlife. It's as if the home once owned by one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence has been frozen in time, its elegant, understated landscape waiting for Paca to return. And that's just how Jay Graham wants it to feel.
Graham is the owner of Graham Landscape Architecture based in Annapolis, a firm that has built its reputation by creating landscapes that make a statement about place and setting and context without needing to shout. The firm, begun in 1984, builds landscapes that evoke the local vernacular, respect the architecture of buildings, and provide sustainable, seasonal outdoor spaces that are unmistakably related to the Mid-Atlantic region. This interest in natural, place-bound settings is part of Graham's career evolution, which began in 1972 when he graduated with a degree in architecture from the University of Virginia, a campus known by many for its aesthetic loyalty to its Federal-period roots and to its founder, Thomas Jefferson.
"When I graduated from the School of Architecture, I started to feel that the spaces between the buildings were more important than what was going on in architecture at that time," he explains. He also excelled at site planning—setting buildings into a landscape. His first job after receiving his master's degree was as a landscape architect at UVA.
Eventually he moved into commercial landscapes, working for a large firm that designed malls, schools, and other institutional buildings. That would prove to be a pivotal time in his career. "There's this notion sometimes that when you land at a mall, you don't know where you are," he says. "I became sensitive to trying to give each project regional character, but when you clear a site, start over, and the mall developers often have the same tenants in almost the same location, it's very hard to do."
That was when Graham, now 61, became interested in what he calls "the local narrative."
"I was very interested in working as a regional landscape architect," he explains. "We wanted to be of the Chesapeake Bay and the central Mid-Atlantic States, to really understand this landscape and express it."
Capturing that regional essence is what has given Graham's work such pride of place. His work can be seen at the Maryland Governor's Mansion, on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Academy, at planned communities throughout the region, and at what was then BWI Airport. As a landscape architect, Graham's firm is responsible for anything related to land, including site planning and hardscaping (use of non-plant features) as well as planting. Unlike a garden, which is an active, engaging portion of the outdoors, a landscape is a setting, a passive yet evocative construct.
It is in residential landscapes that Graham creates a transporting, magical experience. The process begins with a conversation. "We sometimes say we have two clients—we have the people who have brought us in and we have the land," says Graham. "We want to know what attracted them to the land, what do they see in it? And also, what are their expectations?"
Graham also personalizes his spaces not with exotic, inappropriate plants, but with designs, details, art, and color schemes that express the interests of the client as accessories express the personality of an owner's interior design.
At the Wye River home, which is a few miles south of the Bay Bridge, the owners wanted a second home retreat that respected the home's history. The home sits on roughly 80 acres, although the owners lease additional acreage. To learn more about the property and how William Paca and subsequent generations used it, Graham embarked on an ambitious research mission that included archaeological research with help from the University of Maryland—both on-site and in archives.
"The current client doesn't want to reconstruct or maintain the garden that was there in the Federal period, but wanted to protect it archaeologically. We found it, we documented it, and we preserved it underground," says Graham. "We don't disrupt the archaeological resource."
What he did do was channel Paca's interest in classical proportions and the layout philosophy of the Golden Rectangle. Intimate gardens were placed within the landscape and close to the home, and trees were removed to open a view to the Wye River. In homage to the "wild garden" Paca had planted on the west side of his house, a garden of native plants was placed to blend into a meadow and a field beyond. What had become acres of lawn that required extensive mowing in the 21st century would have been hayfields in the 18th century; Graham transformed that lawn into a palate of meadows. At the owner's request, the Bay buffer area was extended to help preserve the waterway from agricultural runoff.
His efforts did not go unrecognized: In December, his firm was given the annual Honor Award by the Maryland and Potomac Chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) for its work at Wye Hall. In singling out Wye Hall for ASLA's highest distinction, the jury cited the project as a "great example of the value of the type of work landscape architects can do."
Not all homes have the benefit of such a long and well-documented history and Graham's company works with spaces of all sizes and backgrounds, from urban spaces in Washington, D.C., to country estates. For a new construction home on a rolling piece of land in Howard County, Graham worked with the client and the architect to site the home so that it "didn't look like a funny blip set on top of a gumdrop," says Graham. "We wanted to make the shape of the land appropriate to the house size."
The stone home could easily have looked like a monolith, but once nestled into its landscape, Graham proposed walls to flank the home so that it feels grounded in the landscape. "It gives it an inevitable look that this is where it belongs," says Graham. "That's what we try to do, we try to tie the house to the land."
The design incorporates a pool, pergolas, and an elaborate series of patios, terraces, and fountains, a tremendous amount of hardscaping softened by broad stroke landscape plantings, and small-scale gardens close to the house.
Graham defines a successful landscape as one that is appropriate and well detailed.
"What is appropriate to the client and the specific site, including the region of the country? Some landscape details that might look great in Florida or California could look really strange in Maryland," he says. He continues that, "part of the craft of being a landscape architect is the detailing. When we take a piece of bluestone for a stair, how do you treat the edge of the stone? Do you saw cut it, which is rather crude? Or do you flame-finish it or rock-face it? There are so many things we can do to give it a finished look that sometimes people don't know about or think about."
These details transcend any one style to add richness to a landscape, whether it is a traditional country home landscape or a contemporary urban one. Part of that attention to detail includes a greater interest in native plants and materials, because they are not only of the region, they are well adapted to the fickle weather of the mid-Atlantic. "In the best of all possible worlds, being sustainable and being about place are one in the same," says Graham.
Graham recently found himself in the position of being his own client when a tree fell at the home he's owned for 19 years. Suddenly shade gardens were thrown into sun and parts of the landscape were crushed. But landscapes are living, malleable, changing things and Graham is embracing the chance to determine what he wants next out of his own space. The work he has done on large-scale estates and small suburban properties will inform his own choices. For example, the landscape will be as natural as possible to use the least amount of resources. There will be only an essential span of lawn so that watering and mowing are kept to a minimum.
"I like residential work because we're exploring how to help people be better stewards of the land," says Graham. "We can work with the land and also work on the rich detailing of the hardscape and the gardens around the house. We think it's the best of all worlds, and it's really rewarding when your work is built and you see people enjoying it."

Twin channels of exquisite pre-amplification, with front-panel DI for easy instrument connection.
The ISA Two is the ideal front-end solution for any studio rack, with two independent channels of Focusrite's high-quality microphone preamps, each with their own front-panel instrument inputs, so no additional DI boxes are required. Based on the legendary designs found in the Focusrite Forte and Studio Consoles, ISA Two will easily integrate into any audio signal path.
Superb sound spanning four different decades
Focusrite's microphone preamplifiers go back to the original Focusrite ISA 110 modules, when Rupert Neve was commissioned by George Martin in 1985 to create a no-compromise channel strip for his Neve console. Combining the very best solid-state electronics with transformer coupling, Focusrite mic pres have played a key part in the recording of hundreds of hit records and they're the choice of leading artists, producers and engineers around the world.
Lundahl Transformers
At the heart of the ISA Two is a pair of Lundahl LL1538 transformers. ISA products have relied on Lundahl from the beginning, since their components were originally specified in 1985. The LL1538 features a 3-section winding, resulting in very low leakage inductance and, as a result, an extended frequency response. They're encapsulated in mu-metal cans to shield them from stray magnetism.
Variable input impedance and up to 80 dB of gain
ISA Two features two classic Focusrite mic preamps, with four impedance settings including the original ISA 110 setting. Variable input impedance allows you to go for an accurate, transparent sound or choose to highlight the character of your favorite vintage mic – and anywhere in between. With up to 80 dB of low-noise gain, ISA Two can perform in the most demanding situations - really bringing your ribbon, condenser or moving coil mics to life.
Insert your choice of processors
Each channel has a fully balanced insert point accessed via TRS sockets on the rear panel and activated with a front-panel button, so it's easy to use outboard processors with the ISA Two. Just plug in your choice of EQ, compressor or limiter.
Dual-channel processing is better than one—order the ISA Two today.
