A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for the entire metro until 4 p.m.
Thunderstorms that developed in Nebraska are moving southeast and will be impacting northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri on Thursday morning into the afternoon.
Storms have a history of producing frequent lightning, heavy rain, softball size hail and damaging winds.
"As these storms move into more unstable air, they will likely continue to strengthen as they approach the metro," KCTV5 meteorologist Hallie Shulman said.
More storms are possible in the afternoon to evening hours.
Large hail, gusty winds, heavy rainfall and lightning are the main threats with any thunderstorms that develop.
"The tornado threat is not zero, but it is pretty small. The slightly higher tornado threat is south and west of our area," Shulman said.
Storms should move out Friday morning, leaving sunshine through the afternoon and slightly cooler temperatures.
By the weekend, expect only a small chance of storms and cooler air with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s in the afternoon.

Chinese furniture magnate wins bid for Robb & Stucky name, logo
Robb & Stucky is going to China.
Asian furniture magnate Samuel Kuo and his family have acquired the Robb & Stucky name and the local company's other intellectual property, including its logo and a long list of customers.
Kuo, 54, was behind the winning bid at a court-ordered auction on May 25. He has more than 24 years of experience in the furniture business in Taiwan, China and the U.S.
The sale was approved by a bankruptcy judge in Tampa last week.
Robb & Stucky, headquartered in Fort Myers, operated a chain of high-end furniture stores in Florida, Texas, Nevada and Arizona.
The 96-year-old company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February. It was ordered into liquidation in March. Liquidation sales are ongoing.
Kuo is the founder, chairman and CEO of Samson Holding Ltd., a public company with its shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. He's also a major shareholder in the company, one of the leading furniture wholesalers in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
Samson designs, manufactures and sells furniture under such well-known brands as Universal Furniture, Legacy Classic Furniture and Craftmaster Furniture.
In a news release, Kuo said his family's investment was based on the "prestigious image of the Robb & Stucky name and its long history and expertise" as a high-end retailer.
"Currently, my family owns and operates a number of retail stores in China, so it is our plan to add Robb & Stucky into our retail portfolio and bring this reputable brand to Chinese consumers by opening the dedicated Robb & Stucky stores," he said. "Furthermore we will consider building an experienced and professional management team to reopen Robb & Stucky's retail business in the U.S. using its product niche, vendor structure and customer base."
He said the retail business of Robb & Stucky will not affect Samson Holding's operations or furniture distribution in the U.S.
Larry Norris, a co-owner of Norris Home Furnishings with retail stores in Fort Myers and Sanibel, said he doesn't know much about Samson, though he's heard of the name. He was surprised to learn that Chinese investors made the winning bid for Robb & Stucky's intellectual property.
"If they open retail stores, I would definitely be in competition with them," Norris said, adding, "It wouldn't hurt me a whole lot."
With his planned expansion to Naples, Norris has been hiring designers and sales associates from Robb & Stucky.
At last week's auction, Kuo's family, going by the name Robb & Stucky International Inc., paid $470,000 for Robb & Stucky's intellectual assets, $10,000 more than the second highest offer. Clive Lubner, Robb & Stucky's former CEO, and his son, Dan Lubner, offered to pay as much as $460,000 before bowing out.
There were four qualified bidders who made 25 different offers during the auction, held at a lawyer's office in Fort Lauderdale.
Robb & Stucky International was incorporated in Florida on May 17, with its principal address in Greensboro, N.C. No officers or directors were named in the filing made with the Florida Division of Corporations.
The money from the auction will be used to help pay off Robb & Stucky's creditors. The company reported nearly $60 million in debt when it filed for bankruptcy protection a few months ago.
More than 30 years ago, Robb & Stucky was purchased by the Mariner Group and Clive Lubner.
The Lubners – who were among the largest shareholders – fought to keep the company alive, but they couldn't strike an acceptable deal with new investors. They plan to open a new retail furniture business under a new name, with the first store opening this fall.
"We're not ready to announce that name yet," Dan Lubner said in an interview with the Daily News last week. "We are still working on a marketing plan."

Council wish list could create perfect storm
Citizens might be taken aback by the list of Granbury City Council requested projects.
The list numbers 42.
Some of the requests (and the council members who sponsored them) are:
Island time: Driving all night to sink our toes in the sand
My family and I went on our annual South Padre Island vacation earlier this month, and this year certainly did not disappoint.
Every year I write about this vacation because, quite frankly, (other than Christmas) it's my favorite week of the year.
I'm so lucky that my brother and I get along so well, that I adore my sister-in-law, that my mom is my best friend, that my husband fits right in and that all of the kids are more like siblings than cousins.…
City trying new marketing approach
How do we bring more visitors to Granbury?
That is the question that the City's Marketing and Communications Department, the Tourism Advisory Board and the City Council hope to tackle with help from a new market study.
It has been said that the best way to promote your community for tourism is to find out who is already visiting and then advertise to more people just like them.…
Sepia tones: Elderly man seems transported in time at piano
We take the elevator to the second floor, then walk down a long hallway, stopping at a door adorned with a red-white-and-blue ribbon.
We are at The Cove, which is part of Waterview Senior Living. It is a retirement and assisted living complex on East Pearl Street.
Wendy Cahill, a concierge at The Cove, knocks, then unlocks the door.…
Eat what you grow
Children attending Thursday's Lake Granbury Master Gardeners Children's Garden School line up to enjoy lunch with lots of healthy choices. Lunch choices and lessons revolved around the theme "Eat what you grow."…
Letters to the Editor
He's our hero
Granbury should be extremely proud of Granbury Police Department's Cliff Clemons.
I was a passenger in Edie York's vehicle after leaving a concert at Lakeside Baptist Church, and we were on our way to treat ourselves to ice cream. When we turned into the street adjacent to Walgreen's we heard a loud noise coming from the right rear of her car.…
Is our language slipping away?
Until now, I wouldn't have thought someone known as Weird Al Yankovic would try to save the English language as we know it.
Earlier this week, Yankovic released "Word Crimes" as a video parody of Robin Thicke's hit song, "Blurred Lines." It highlights a few common grammar mistakes and – like most of Weird Al's videos – thoroughly entertains with humor and creativity.…
Off like a firecracker
The Kiwanis Club of Lake Granbury hosted the inaugural Firecracker 5K Run July 4 at Tidwell Field behind Granbury High School. The runners are pictured starting from Tidwell Field, then they followed the Hike and Bike Trail to City Park, finishing back at Tidwell Field.…

Comment history
Ok, way to much missing in this story. Is Ms Cerny from El Campo? Why was she found in EC if her boys were in Laredo? Was she in Laredo when the boys were shot? Did the man kill her in EC then drive the boys to Laredo? Such a sad sitution.
Renters Insurance, it is your friend. Most of the time also the renters will pay for another place to stay while your place is being repaired.
Familyman - open the yellow pages, there are pages and pages of insurance agencies to call and get renters insurance from. If you live within the city limits (of Victoria) it would cost approx $200 @ year for $30,000 coverage. Small price to pay.
my 2 cents - the child would be scared of the MRI machines and doctors and nurses no matter WHEN he went, can't blame that on the school nurse.

what's wrong with a pad and paper?
I agree with tinstar. The man/woman makes sense!

The breakfast was delicious, the garden was gorgeous, the bed was really comfy, and the staff was extremely nice. On top of that the inn was only a few mintues away from town and the casino.
We made the mistake of booking it through a third party, instead of the inns website. It was about 50$ more but it was worth the stay.
Excellent 10.0
I read a lot of comments saying it needed updating but the room I was given was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Very adorable and comfortable.
If any it was the distance from downtown Solvang (which was only 1.5 miles away so not bad at all just for tasting purposes may need to plan cab service), but that was also one of the great things about it. It was kinda away from everything.

I was using Cherokee as my default webserver and everything was working properly. I have an application that, when a user opens the application, it sends a request to my site, and my site returns something. The site uses MySQL to get the value it needs to return. Sometimes the application doesn't get the value it needs correctly and so it sends another request to the site until it gets the required value. I changed to Apache some days ago (I was getting too many 500-error with Cherokee), and now, if too many users open the application at the same time (I'm talking about... 5?) MySQL seems to stop responding, the application keeps sending requests and there are tons of mysql processes, so the site stops responding. I checked top and it is like: 100 processes: 100% CPU usage. Then, 3 seconds later, all those processes disappear. And 3 seconds later, again, tons of processes and 100% CPU usage.
What can I do? I think it is something related to Apache, but I'm not sure. I've searched through many sites, but found nothing. My file my.cnf is kinda small compared to others I've seen.

SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit Remains Silent at Troy
- sols 2621-2627, May 18-24, 2011:
More than 1,300 commands were radiated to Spirit as part of the recovery effort in an attempt to elicit a response from the rover. No communication has been received from Spirit since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). The project concluded the Spirit recovery efforts on May 25, 2011. The remaining, pre-sequenced ultra-high frequency (UHF) relay passes scheduled for Spirit on board the Odyssey orbiter will complete on June 8, 2011.
Total odometry is unchanged at 7,730.50 meters (4.80 miles).
Spirit Update Archive
Opportunity is on the west rim of Endeavour Crater heading toward 'Marathon Valley', a putative location for abundant clay minerals. However, flash-memory induced resets have increased in occurrence, preventing meaningful science until this problem can be corrected. The project is developing plans to reformat the flash file system to correct the problem.
A flash-memory reformat was done successfully five years ago on Spirit, but this will be the first time on Opportunity. The project is preparing the rover for the reformatting. With no master sequence running, the flash memory is being systematically emptied of science data products. On Sol 3762 (Aug. 24, 2014), the project activated a new communication table on the rover, insuring predictable communication for the next several weeks. Due to the complexity of the frequent resets hitting during high-gain antenna passes causing subsequent X-band faults, the team sent a real-time command of a special sequence that converts the next several X-band passes to use the low-gain antenna. This was completed on Sol 3766 (Aug. 26, 2014).
The next step in the plan is to boot the rover into a mode that does not use the flash file system. This will allow confirmation of the health of the rover independent of the flash file system. Also, the operations team has sequenced a checksum test of the lower portion of flash to get some data on the physical heath of the flash memory chips in general. Remaining science data will be returned from the flash file system prior to the reformat.
The rover remains power positive with a healthy energy balance, thermally stable and communicative both over X-band with the DSN and via UHF relay with the orbiters.
As of Sol 3764 (Aug. 26, 2014), the solar array energy production was 680 watt-hours with an estimated atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.858 and a solar array dust factor of 0.753.
Total odometry as of Sol 3765 (Aug. 27, 2014) is 25.28 miles (40.69 kilometers).

Former Army commander Sarath Fonseka speaking at his first press conference since his release, said he would never join the current regime.
"This is a question a lot of you wanted to ask me. I would never join this government. I will always fight for the principles that I stood for. I will topple the current corrupt regime and save this country."
He also stated that, people are trying to spread rumours about him joining the government in order to prevent him from regaining political stability within the people of this country.
Speaking further Sarath Fonseka spelt out his political manifesto which included the abolition of the executive presidency, coming to an agreeable political solution for the people of this country to the ethnic problem and an end to the rampant, corrupt political culture within the country. "The first and foremost point is to get rid of the rampant corruption and nepotism prevalent in the country and the abolishing of the executive presidency that has paved the way for dictatorial behavior by the incumbents," he said.
Explaining his manifesto the former Army Commander insisted on the need of a complete overhaul in the political culture prevalent in the country. "The people of this country are not equal and are not served justifiably; the main reason for this is political interference. Almost all facets of this country have been completely dominated by politicians and their interference and there must be an end to this. People should have equality and justice and that is the political culture I wish to bring to this country," he said.
Mr. Fonseka also said the citizens of this country had a false notion of true democracy. "The simple fact that there is an election and people have the right to go to the polling station does not denote true democracy as claimed by many. True democracy is the right to freedom of speech, freedom to think associate and oppose which the discerning of the citizens of this country do not possess in reality" he said.
He also said the 18th amendment had paved the way for interference within the judiciary by Politicians.
"The citizens deserve an independent and robust judiciary but the 18th amendment has paved the way for unwarranted political intervention, I'm a victim of this process and know first-hand what people have to suffer within the prevailing system," he said. Speaking further Fonseka said that he did not wish to see Sri Lanka facing the same fate as many other countries with corrupt regimes. "Take Germany as an example, after the second world war the entire country was in tatters, the main rallying point of the then ruler was patriotism, he then told his citizens that patriotism was even greater than religion and ignored the teachings of religious leaders, he forgot the culture of the country and re wrote history according to his own whims and fancies. Hitler also thrived on racism and ensured that the Nazis dominated all other religions and races. I don't want this to happen in our country," he said.
Fonseka also reiterated that the solution to the national question could not be found in a piece of paper. "Trust needs to be built first among all nationalities within the country, it is after this trust is built that we could talk of a political solution," he said. The former Army Commander said this was a slow and gradual process. "We can't expect this trust to take place overnight and it can be a long slow process, we have to be patient like we have been in the past until this trust is built and a solution is put forth," he said.

if people vote sensibly without letting in to emotions the voters themselves can save Sri Lanka.
as long as the voters have a herd mentality of blindly handing over their future ( and that of their next generation) to politicians and not holding them accountable, no one can save the country

Yes, and do not join UNP and JVP too. They are the another political culprit in Srilanka.T

God Bless you

Hi All,
I am trying to create a VoIP application using JSR 180 for mobile device using Java Wireless toolkit.
My VoIP application is trying to register an IMS core network.
I am using J2ME emulator to develop/test the application.
My application is correctly sending REGISTER request to IMS core and wireshark shows that IMS core sends correct 200 OK for REGISTER request.
My application is sending the REGISTER request from a dynamically selected port (eg. 3456) to 5060 to my proxy and the response 200 OK is coming to the same port, but my host system throws ICMP message quoting "Port Unreachable".
I guess, the UDP port (3456), is closed as soon as the REGISTER request is sent to network from J2ME enviroment.
Is there any need for some special setting/configuration so that the port is not closed.
Please help.

NRDC: Replacing Damaging HFCs Helps Curb Climate Change
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
WASHINGTON (July 10, 2014) – The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency today moved to ban the use of certain hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, that significantly contribute to climate change, noting that safer, more climate-friendly alternatives now exist.
The EPA's move affects HFCs and HFC-containing blends used in aerosols, motor vehicle air conditioning, retail food refrigeration and vending machines, and foam blowing. The agency will accept public comment for 60 days after the proposal is published in the Federal Register.
The following is a statement from David Doniger, director of the Climate and Clean Air Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council:
"The EPA's welcome move marks another crucial step to curb the growing and serious threat of climate change. With safer coolants and aerosols already on the market, we need to phase out the most damaging HFCs now. The benefits are clear: this will help curb dangerous climate warming, drive innovation in energy efficiency, and help fulfill our obligation to leave a better world for our children."

Moyers Report: Death of N.C. Public Financing Part of Rightward March
A rightward march by North Carolina's legislature in 2013, including its killing a popular and successful program for public financing of judicial elections, continues to capture national news media attention and analysis.
The public financing program was a pioneering reform to protect courts from special interest influence, and it became a model for other states.
A Moyers and Co. report on what it called the "North Carolina takeover" as a result of a Republican supermajority in the legislature and a Republican governor attributed the death of public financing of judicial elections in significant part to opposition by Art Pope, the state budget director. He has been described as the "architect of the conservative takeover." Read moreNo comments
Moyers Warns of Danger to Fair Courts; Program Cites JAS
Veteran newsman and commentator Bill Moyers has cast a national spotlight on groups spending millions of dollars to pressure judges to bend to partisan agendas in America.
In addition, his "Moyers and company" website, urging "Help Keep Our Courts Impartial," prominently featured Justice at Stake for its mission to protect fair courts and for its resources. These included a JAS YouTube channel with judicial election ads and JAS website data about state judicial selection and also about momentous U.S. Supreme Court rulings affecting judicial elections spending.
On his weekend show, Moyers introduced his concerns this way:
"In case you haven't noticed, something's afoot with our judicial system. Across the country, large sums of money – much of it secret – are pouring into the races for high court judges. And in several states, partisan groups with funds from undisclosed sources are out to punish justices for rulings the partisans don't like."
Turning to a Republican and social conservative ouster drive mounted against retention of Justice David Wiggins in Iowa, Moyers continued:
No comments
"Iowa is often a bellwether state for national politics. So when out-of-state partisans and out-of-state money combine to try and take down and take apart a highly esteemed court in the heartland, you never know who's next." Read more
Court Names Ohio Judicial Center in Honor of Justice Moyer
The Ohio Judicial Center will be named in honor of the late Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, who served the second-longest period as top state jurist in Ohio's history. The state Supreme Court approved the new name for the Judicial Center.
Justice Moyer, according to a Columbus Dispatch article, "is credited with making Ohio's court system more open and responsive to the public, and bringing greater professionalism, discipline and accountability to the practice of law." Justice Moyer was a founding member of Justice at Stake's board of directors.No comments
Several Tributes Sought to Honor Moyer
Some Republican state senators are urging the renaming of the Ohio Judicial Center in honor of the late Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, and they also are proposing that a commission be set up to recommend judicial appointees to the governor.
Gov. Ted Strickland earlier had recommended renaming of the building, which houses the state Supreme Court. That court would have to approve a name change, according to a Columbus Dispatch article.
To honor Justice Moyer by carrying out some of the changes he had backed, a Republican sponsor said, the proposal would do several things–including setting up a judicial review commission to give Ohio's governor recommendations for judicial appointments.
Strickland voluntarily makes use of such a commission, the newspaper said, although that was not the case when he picked Franklin County probate judge Eric Brown to complete Justice Moyer's term.
Justice Moyer was a founding member of Justice at Stake's board of directors.No comments
Honoring Justice Moyer
The flags flew at half-staff in Columbus today to honor Thomas Moyer, who died recently in the final months of his final term, after 23 years as chief justice (see Gavel Grab). The line of mourners spilled out of the Ohio Judicial Center on to the sidewalk, waiting in the cold—38 degrees and gusty—to pay their respects.
Inside the courtroom, a black robe was draped over the chief justice's chair. Moyer's wife and family received visitors as the other justices stood nearby. A modest casket, swathed with an Ohio flag, sat up front, just past the railing.
I had come out of admiration and fondness. Justice Moyer was a founding member of Justice at Stake's board of directors. He relished working for fair courts ("it was his passion,†one judge told me in line). Despite his high perch, Justice Moyer tended to board matters large and small, sending the occasional 'Thank you' or 'Good job' that showed that yes, he was reading all those e-mails.
At board meetings and national events, Justice Moyer's was typically the gentlest voice in the room. He never wanted to pull rank, and never needed to. "When I was growing up,†his son Drew told me today, "the lesson he taught was that no matter how famous you are, you only put on your pants one leg at a time.â€
Indeed, what struck me was how a variety of people from the legal world—magistrates, specialty court officials, attorneys from the solicitor general's office—told me the same story.

Tribute to Justice Moyer is Recommended
To honor Ohio Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, who died last week (see Gavel Grab), the state's governor is recommending the renaming of the Ohio state Supreme Court building after him.
"It was a building that he loved, that he worked so hard to have restored," Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland said, according to an article in ABA Journal.
Meanwhile the Cleveland Morning Journal published an editorial calling for removal of politics from the appointment of a successor to Justice Moyer. He championed for years the appointment, rather than election, of individuals to state judicial posts, the editorial noted.
It urged that Strickland keep the court at a reduced size for the remainder of the year, until after an already scheduled election to fill Justice Moyer's seat, or appoint a true "caretaker" chief justice "who won't turn such an important appointment into a political springboard."
Justice Moyer was a founding member of Justice at Stake's board of directors.No comments
Did Bill Moyers Go Too Far?
A recent Bill Moyers program, "Justice for Sale," attracted intense interest, including here at Gavel Grab and at www.justiceatstake.org. In an impassioned commentary about Citizens United, Moyers said, "There's now a crooked sign hanging on every courthouse in America reading 'Justice for Sale.'â€
But a letter from William Weisenberg (in photo), chair of the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Judicial Independence, raises an important point. Although escalating spending on court elections has sparked widespread public concern about the appearance of justice, it does not follow that individual judges are in fact unethical.
Here is Bill's letter in its entirety:
No comments
The statement by Bill Moyers, a veteran journalist, portraying our courthouses as locations where "justice is for sale†is most unfortunate and a statement I strongly disagree with. As Chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Judicial Independences, I view this characterization of our Courts as impugning the integrity of our court system and the thousands of men and women who daily don their robes and administer justice in a fair and impartial manner.
Our partners share the view, demonstrated in polling, that there is a serious "perception†that financial support influences judicial decision-making. It is one thing to address perception that you, JAS, our partners and the ABA speak to often in our quest to drive money out of judicial selection. It is another thing to speak in terms of justice for sale as if it were a common thing.
No doubt, a small number of judges have roamed from the reservation and breached their sacred oath, some even to spend time as guests of the criminal justice system. But, these judges do not represent our judicial system. Read more
Moyers on Citizens United: A 'Corrosive Flood'
Veteran newsman and commentator Bill Moyers has offered a profoundly troubling concern about "Justice for Sale" in courtrooms across America in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's recent Citizens United ruling.
Ten years ago, the potentially corrupting impact of campaign spending in judicial elections was apparent, he said in a broadcast of Bill Moyers Journal. Now, after the high court decision that may unleash a flood of special-interest spending on politics, Moyers said citizens can look to their courthouses for a grim new reality:

'Justice for Sale' on 'Bill Moyers Journal'
"Justice for Sale" is the topic of tonight's "Bill Moyers Journal," which revisits a topic first explored on the show in 1999. The show's web site discusses the program, citing data from the Justice at Stake web site. In addition, Moyers has authored a column in Huffington Post that quotes Justice at Stake, called "What Are We Bid for American Justice?"
According to the preview, the show will look at three states highlighted in the 1999 Moyers report: Texas, Pennsylvania and Louisiana. And the program will include discussions of Citizens United:
According to retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, of all the fallout from the Citizens United decision, the most dangerous may be in judicial elections. These often low-profile affairs have become extraordinarily expensive in recent years, as interest groups have sought to shape the court in their favor by electing judges who share their views. With 87% of state judges facing election, the Citizens United case could have profound effects on the nation's court system.
The program will air at 9 p.m. in the Washington, D.C., area. To find the broadcast time in your area, click here. To see the full preview article, click here.No comments
Commentary: Legal Scholar Suggests 5 Supreme Court Reforms
Legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky proposes a merit selection process and 18-year, non-renewable terms for Supreme Court justices among reforms that he believes could help make the high court better perform its job of enforcing the Constitution.
Chemerinsky is dean of the University of California at Irvine School of Law. At the Moyers & Co. website, he is critical of some decisions by the high court in its latest term, as well as the work of the court during its entire existence. He will argue in his upcoming book, he says, that "the Supreme Court has largely failed at its most important tasks of enforcing the Constitution and protecting the rights of minorities."
The other reforms he proposes include clarifying that the court's most important role is "to enforce the Constitution against the will of the majority"; changing the confirmation process with the Senate insisting "as a condition of confirmation, that the nominee answer detailed questions about his or her views on important constitutional questions"; and mandating strong ethics rules and recusals of high court justices.No comments

An orb of mauve tulips bursts from a tall, slender glass vase. A pink and green polka dot bow complements a spray of pale pink lilies and myrtle. Elegant and eye-catching, these sweet-smelling arrangements from Forever Flowers aim to enhance every conceivable occasion, from weddings to court arraignments. Once customers hone in on their ideal bouquet, the shop's savvy florists can accent the seasonal blooms with balloons, stuffed animals, or chocolates. They also happily design custom arrangements according to your upcoming occasion or personal vision.
Though the aroma of fresh-cut flowers has drifted from its doors for more than 60 years, Earles Loveland Floral & Gifts has not been quite the same since 1993, when United Floral Industry School graduate Elizabeth Parker took charge of operations. The time-honored flower and gift shop has blossomed under her guidance, experiencing a meteoric rise in popularity that recently culminated in its winning the Reporter-Herald's Reader's Choice award for best local florist in 2011.
Parker went to school for floral wedding design, and it's no secret that her field of study has become one of the shop's strong suits. Along with her dedicated team of florists, she can turn any wedding venue into a lush garden of bridal bouquets, corsages, and elegant reception centerpieces. The shop's everyday bouquets hardly suffer from comparison, bundling together natural, seasonal flowers in arrangements available for pickup or delivery by a well-trained swarm of bees. Before whisking away a bouquet of grab 'n' go flowers, peruse Earles's eclectic selection of gifts and household accouterments, which includes flower-print tote bags, beaded jewelry, and gel candles.
Loveland Furniture and Décor's knowledgeable staffers cull a colossal collection of top-quality home furnishings and accessories, taking a casual approach while helping customers to search the huge stash of elegant living-room, bedroom, and dining-room accouterments. They can guide customers as they peruse the vast selection of pieces from renowned furniture-makers such as Thomasville, Broyhill, and Drexel. To further help patrons to personalize their abodes, staffers can swiftly place special orders to acquire items that are not in stock or have been accidentally vaporized by mad scientists masquerading as janitors. They also host an online design center where customers can assemble custom furniture right down to the fabric.
Loveland Furniture and Décor extends its dedication to top-notch customer service beyond its doors by making monthly donations to charities that benefit homeless children.

Sixty-five seniors graduated from Maryvale Preparatory School Friday on the Terrace of the Castle, the centerpiece of the 115-acre Greenspring Valley campus. Every member of the Class of 2014 will proceed to college, including the University of Notre Dame, Rochester Institute of Technology and Johns Hopkins University. The girls were collectively awarded more than $5 million in academic scholarships and grants to colleges and universities throughout the country.
C-SPAN Television Network honored two seniors for winning a national video documentary competition during a ceremony this afternoon on Maryvale's campus. Beginning at 1:30 p.m., representatives from C-SPAN — who arrived in a mobile newsroom — recognized Katie Linz and Colette Aroh for their work, "The Cost of the American Dream." Selected from more than 2,300 entries nationwide, the documentary earned an honorable mention placement. Here is a link to their video: http://www.viddler.com/v/f787782b
Beloved English Teacher Carol Malone has unexpectedly announced her retirement to the faculty, staff and students. She will graduate with the Class of 2014 on June 6. The iconic English teacher has taught at Maryvale since 1971, with the exception of a brief hiatus where she was a part of the faculty team at Catonsville and Carroll County Community colleges. During her tenure, she has guided generations of girls (in some cases, mothers and daughters) through the literary and writing worlds. The positive impact of her masterful teaching will be her legacy.
Local news outlets showcased Maryvale's social justice mission as they chronicled our students participating in a Baltimore City rally to "Bring Back Our Girls." Campus Minister Mary Pat Tilghman and roughly 10 students joined the rally to raise awareness about the nearly 300 girls who were abducted at gunpoint from their Nigerian school dormitories in April. Read the Baltimore Sun story about the event. And, check out Channel 2 as well.
The results from Maryvale's Upper School Student Council election are in! Next year's president will be Audrey Wilke '15. Kristen Griffith '15 will serve as vice president, while Amanda Gallagher '16 will take over as secretary. Amanda Weis '15, who ran unopposed, will become Maryvale's next treasurer. The candidates gave their campaign speeches on Monday, while voting took place this morning.
The Maryvale community honored Jeanie Grant, Math Department chair, for her 40 years of service to the school. Jeanie, who started at Maryvale in 1973, teaches Math at the higher level, including AP classes. President Tracey H. Ford praised Jeanie's amazing teaching style and unassuming manner. "I've never heard a parent complain about Ms. Grant's teaching," she said.
Maryvale's outdoor track and field team scored 120.16 points to finish in second place behind McDonogh in the championships. School records were broken throughout the competition on May 10. This team was featured in the Catholic Review recently. Check out the article and video, which highlight the positive spirit and no-cut policy, here.
Maryvale President Tracey H. Ford announced the hiring of Victor Shin as Upper School Head during Community Homeroom on May 1. Victor comes to Maryvale from Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville, where he is associate principal and dean of programs. A former teacher, Victor is pursuing a doctorate in educational leadership at the University of Pennsylvania and holds a master's degree in public administration from the University of Baltimore. He is a University of Maryland graduate, with a citation in Public Leadership from the College Park Scholars Program.
Did you know that only 2 percent of girls think they are beautiful? This startling statistic, which was shared as part of Maryvale's Multicultural Day, had middle school minds reeling. "We're all told we're either too fat or too thin because of this media," said seventh grader Kate Welsh. "You really need to look in the mirror and smile."
Longtime Maryvale English teacher Carol Malone officially opened the Tyler P. Fick '99 Writing Center during a school-wide dedication on April 30 in McCarthy Theater. The goal of the center is to help each student become a strong independent writer. Headed up by Carol and English teacher Brian Boston, the center will allow students to hone their academic and creative writing skills during resource period.

Considered by many to be the best teams in their respective conferences, the Pittsburgh Penguins (9/2 to win the Stanley Cup) visit the Chicago Blackhawks (6/1 to win the Cup) this Saturday night outdoors at Soldier Field.
The Blackhawks are a -125 moneyline favorite over the Penguins, who would pay +110 on the road upset.
Pittsburgh holds a five-point lead over the Boston Bruins for the best record in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins have earned points in six of their last seven games, but have lost each of their last two games in the shootout.
The Penguins allowed just 1.2 goals per game over a 4-1 SU stretch leading up to their last two games in which they've allowed a total of eight goals. The defense and goaltending will need to be better on Saturday against Chicago's dangerous offense and that will impact the NHL betting lines on both moneyline and totals.
Chicago may have needed the break to recharge the batteries on their Stanley Cup defense. After going 28-7-7 in 2013, the Blackhawks are just 7-5-7 (7-12 on the moneyline) in the new calendar year.
The best offense in hockey averaging 3.3 goals per game has hit a bit of a scoring drought with just three goals over its last three games, including a 2-0 loss to Phoenix going into the break and a 2-1 loss to the Rangers coming out of it.
Special teams often play a role in battles between two evenly matched teams. Both teams have been excellent on the power play this season with Pittsburgh scoring on 25.8% of its power plays (best in the NHL) and the Blackhawks scoring on 21.8% (third in the NHL) of theirs.
But on the penalty kill, Pittsburgh has a considerable edge ranking second in the league at 86.2% compared to Chicago's 25th ranked 79.8%.
In six meetings since 2006, Chicago and Pittsburgh are 3-3 SU against one another. Each of the last three games between these two offensive powerhouses have gone UNDER the total.
This is the type of measuring stick game that brings out the best in teams, so both of these elite teams should have no trouble getting up for this one.
