Tamiko left first, flying to Durham, NC. Brynne finished her two-month internship with the Piedmont Wildlife Center at the wildlife rehabilitation clinic, and was waiting at the Raleigh-Durham airport. Tamiko & Brynne started driving towards Rhode Island.
Kent flew directly to Rhode Island. He spent the evening "baching it" (bachelor party for Erich) with Kyle and Erich, and other members of the extended family which included several McCoys, at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket. The Triple A Buffalo Bisons beat the home team Paw Sox.
Deciding not to stay in a hotel, Tamiko & Brynne continued driving and arrived at the Johnson & Wales Inn at 2:00 AM. They called Kent's cell phone and listened at doors for the ring tone, to find their room!
Continuing on Friday, July 10th:
Kent didn't awaken to the cell phone, but was up to wait for his ride to play golf with the boys (more bachelor partying?). He was still waiting for his ride when Tamiko & Brynne went to breakfast, and still waiting when they went off on errands.
What errands? Okay, they went to see if they could get tires from BJ's.
They had lunch at a "landmark" diner in Rumford, which they had never been to before, as it used to be a Chinese restaurant when they lived in town. The China Star or the "China dinah" was in business from 1964 to 2000. When established in 1951, it was Keenan's Diner. As the Star Diner, it has been open only since February 2009, but it has starred in a couple film projects, including Showtime's "Brotherhood".
Kent had a memorable golf outing at Touisset CC.
All the guests received a lovely hospitality bag with information about local activities, and chocolate chip cookies! Some people were very busy this last week preparing for the wedding!
The Rehearsal Dinner was held at Mary Jane's and Barney's place in Tiverton. What a view from their back yard, especially at sunset!
Clam chowder, steamed clams (quahogs?) and mussels, grilled chicken and steaks, several salads and corn on the cob, and brownies. A regional feast for a huge gathering of family and friends, many meeting for the first time.
Saturday, July 11th:
Tamiko took Brynne to The Stone House to have her hair done, but a) they were early and b) they couldn't find The Stone House. Stopped at Tiverton's Five Corners to scout out The Meeting Place, site of the wedding, where they spotted a bullfrog (and heard many more). The frogs were enjoying RI's rainy weather, but today promised to be sunny and clear.
Also wandered through Gallery 4 that was featuring paintings by Thai elephants; they've been trained to paint certain strokes to approximate certain subjects.Didn't drive far enough the first time, but this time found the newly renovated hotel almost at Sakonnet Point in Little Compton.They met the hairdresser, but no one else was there. Couldn't get into the room without the "Guest", which was Vivian! Once we did get in, ooh la la!
Denise, Vivian, (Nicole), Hairdresser:Tamiko left Brynne, not to be seen again until the wedding, and saw a guy in a suit chase gulls from a picnic set up on the lawn for human guests.Too late to join Kent, Mike and Ryan for lunch, Tamiko grabbed a sandwich at the Provender at Tiverton Five Corners. Saw Johanna and Howard, Cristian and Nicky (from Iowa and Johanna is Vivian's godmother) at Gray's Ice Cream. WE were doing the RI thing! (Howard has pictures from the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding.
Having been warned not to be late, the Stumpe clan gave themselves plenty of time to get to The Meeting House, so of course, there was an accident on Route 195 that slowed traffic to a standstill. We saw flashing red lights ahead, but by the time we passed the area, nothing was left. A nightmare? But most importantly, we arrived before the bride!
(The Meeting House before it was decorated.) The Wedding Program/Fan/Mini-pouch of Lavender Buds to be thrown at the new couple for good luck, fertility, and abundance, and it's eco-friendly besides! Barney provided the wedding music, and his band played at the reception. Here comes Evie dropping flower petals, Brynne, and Dylan. Evie's parents (Vivian's brother, Patrick, and his wife, Kelly, accompanied the two-year olds. Vivian was given away by her other brother, Colin.Vivian wore a gorgeous gown with a bead-encrusted bodice and a flowing pleated skirt over the satin skirt. Erich wore a linen suit with white shirt and a lime-green patterned tie.We were very impressed with the whole wedding event, and thank all those who worked so hard to make it special. We have already welcomed Vivian into our family, but of course, we are happy that it is now official!
Vivian, Erich, Kyle, Ben:
The other fellows in the wedding party went tie-less. Kyle was best man and Ben was the usher. Denise, maid of honor, and Brynne, bridesmaid, wore a classic navy shift with straps.

Images of Sony's next flagship Android smartphone has leaked online. The Sony Xperia i1 Honami will most likely be unveiled this September during IFA in Berlin, but the press renderings give us some insight into what Sony is prepping for.

One of the highlights for the Xperia i1 will be the camera as it'll sport a 20.7MP ExmorRS sensor that allows for improved image quality, especially in low-light conditions. This will also have what Sony is calling the "G-Lens" – which is a 'unique optical design technology and quality control for exceptional optical performance on par with the best optical lenses in the industry." This will rival competing manufacturers with the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom (16MP) and the Nokia Lumia 1020 (41MP).

Shopping Guide
If you don't own a dishwasher, invest in a good dish rack—it can mean the difference between whether or not you enjoy doing the dishes.

Hollande: 'Merkel ran Europe along with Sarkozy and we can see the results'
French presidential candidate for the Socialist bloc François Hollande defended his intention to "re-guide" Europe by criticizing the results of the vision applied until now by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and current French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
"Merkel has ran Europe with Sarkozy and we can see the results," he assured during an interview to a local TV network, where he insisted in his will to renegotiate the new European pact over budget discipline to add new measures to reactivate economy and jobs.
The Socialist candidate highlighted that if he is voted as president on May 6, the run-off, "there will be a change in the orientation of the European construction."
"I'll renegotiate the pact, Merkel knows this, and if I'm elected, my first move will be to travel to Germany to transmit the French vote for a different Europe," he continued.

Latest Forum Posts
A modern underground illusionist born from absolute deception once surviving from intricate short cons on the streets and in game rooms across the world. In April 2000, Daniel was banned from casinos for using an advanced memory technique of card counting to cheat at black-jack, which left only back-room poker games for his attention. After six months as a card-cheat, the repercussions of an exposed sleight of hand technique landed Daniel in the hospital. His life as a poker-cheat had ended.
After having his debut lecture notes rejected by the magic circle, Daniel held a private lecture at a major 2005 convention for an invite-only-audience. It was the success of this lecture that launched Daniel into the underground spectrum of the industry as a definitive artist. Daniel currently provides security training for casino and gameroom staff and resides as the president of Magic Is Dead, an underground magic circle based in the UK. In June of 2011, d+M performed on Penn and Teller's "Fool Us" television show in the UK. Watch it here!
Q&A with Daniel Madison
What got you into magic?
At an early age I was influenced by a card cheat who introduced me to some sleights and con-techniques. I spent years developing a wide range of deceptions, from sleight-of-hand to memory training. When I took my skills to the casinos, I was quickly found and banned for life. This led me to back room poker games where I was able to make a short living. Eventually, an exposed cheating technique landed me in a wheelchair for 6-months. Through my recovery magic found me, and the rest is history.
How long have you been performing?
My first official magic gig was Halloween 2001, an event that ultimately helped me decide to keep going in magic.
Do you have a favorite effect?
My favourite effect to perform has to be RIP, or anything that involves a deck vanish. My favourite effect to watch is Smoke by Derren Brown. Magic at its finest.
Who is your favorite performer to watch?
To me, magic is all about the showmanship. The first person to help me realize this was David Blaine. He took simple ideas in magic and inflated them with serious character, something that made the effects seem more real and amazing. He has a truly magical way of freaking people out. When I watch magic, I don't want to think or know how it's done; I want to be amazed, and somebody with that level of character can do that with ease.
What do you see as wrong with the industry today?
Magic is an art, although most magicians will fool you into thinking it's not. Most magicians will simply stock up on effects from the magic shop, learn the routines word for word, and call themselves "artists". Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good effects out there, but it takes more than the ability to perform an effect to become an artist. Magic would have a much better name for itself if those involved had more respect for the art.
It's so refreshing to see a place like theory11 - a place for development and progression toward the art and new ideas. Somewhere that pays due attention to performance and character. As for fixing the problems, I think the revolution has already begun. There's no other place quite like theory11, and those who don't catch on will simply be left behind.
What advice would you give to those that are just starting in magic?
Remain true to yourself and try to give others the feeling you had when you were first inspired. Be confident with your magic. If you have faith in your practice, you'll have conviction in your performances. Performing isn't just about doing a trick, it's about being the magician - playing a character that has the ability to do what others can't.
This should never go to waste through average performances. Routines and tricks can go from clever and interesting to astonishing and mind-boggling, with the simple application of showmanship. It can bring effects to life, act as misdirection, and be very beneficial to the performer's social skills: something all magicians need.

Each bottle contains 225 pills.And they were produced in February 2009.The lot number is ABA619-300450444271.The smell is caused by a preservative used on shipping pallets.And that chemical can cause stomach problems.Customers should stop using the product and call 1-888-222-6026 or go to www.tylenol.com.There's a newslink to the right of this story.

Ready to Break Out
Teams and players that may surprise you this summer
It's no secret that top-ranked players and powerhouse programs get all of the ink. But, who is flying under the radar and which teams are poised to take the summer by storm? Last year, Mitch McGary and his SYF Players went from unranked and unnoticed to national contenders in the Five-Star Basketball Top 25. Here are some of the top candidates to have a breakout 2012 summer season.
Breakout Teams:
DC Assault 17U
The Capitol District-based program will be looking to come back from a disappointing 2011 campaign. After beginning last year with high expectations – and a No. 16 Five-Star ranking to boot –DC Assault had an up-and-down season in which they finished unranked. The return of UNC-bound point guard Nate Britt – a phenomenal, unselfish passer who sees the floor with the best of them – along with the return of bruising, 6'5'' forward Kris Jenkins and 6'7'' forward Junior Etou - who is still learning the nuances of the game, but runs the floor hard - plays tough on the interior and is the cousin of the dominant Oklahoma City Thunder forward, Serge Ibaka. The Assault could also promote the smooth, Class of 2014 guard Romelo Trimble if it needs help in the backcourt. Though DC Assault's ranked No. 19 to start the spring, don't be shocked if you find them inside the top 10 in August.
Team SCAN 16U
Following the outburst of highly talented and versatile, 6'9'' forward Chris McCullough, Team SCAN has a lot to look forward to in the summer of 2012. McCullough combines with a group of multi-faceted, unselfish guards who are gaining traction in the recruiting world. Conrad Chambers, Shavar Newkirk and Kevin Seymour are all capable of playing either backcourt position at any point in the game – a valuable asset for any coach to have. "I expect the same things that I've expected the past three years – to win and [to] be successful," said Team SCAN coach and program director, Terrence "Munch" Williams. "These kids understand that winning is a priority and they understand what it takes to make these things happen. At Team SCAN, all of the kids get free SAT Prep tutoring during the AAU season." Playing in the 16U division on the Nike EYBL circuit, along with SAT tutoring for a group this talented and hard-working, should yield positive results.
Breakout Players:
Goodluck Okonoboh (BABC)
Goodluck Okonoboh's already a ranked player who's being recruited by a bevy of high-major programs. But, playing alongside Nerlens Noel with BABC and The Tilton School caused him to be overshadowed on the national scene. Okonoboh is a high-character player who happens to be an excellent team defender and is more skilled offensively than he has shown on a regular basis during the prep season. With the responsibility of manning the middle for BABC without human eraser Noel, Okonoboh will have the opportunity to shine on the Nike EYBL summer circuit. Playing alongside talented combo-guard Wayne Selden and steady-but-efficient point guard Jaylen Brantley should help to keep the pressure off of Okonoboh.
Alex Rifkind (Each 1 Teach 1)
Alex Rifkind is a 6'1'' shooting guard who plays for St. Andrew's School in Boca Raton, Fla. A 2014 prospect, Rifkind is considered one of the top three-point marksmen in his class – backed by Rifkind hitting the most treys on his high school team as just a sophomore. Though he's viewed primarily as a shooter, Rifkind is working on his ball-handling skills to become a more versatile player for his last two high school seasons. Rifkind's future is bright. Former Duke Blue Devil and current Phoenix Suns swingman, Grant Hill, watched Rifkind record a triple-double last year at AAU Nationals and advised Rifkind to take an unofficial visit to Duke. Coaches from high-major schools have already contacted his family and even more figure to do so this AAU season when they watch him on the 16U Each1 Teach 1 Elite squad.
Jordan Bell (Compton Magic)
Jordan Bell, a 6'7'' shot-blocking forward who plays his high school basketball at Long Beach Polytechnic High School (Calif.) and runs with the Compton Magic during the AAU season, should have a breakout spring and summer. What makes Bell particularly intriguing is his cat-like reaction time when going up for a rebound or blocked shot, combined with a relentless motor. Areas of improvement for Bell include tightening up his ball-handling, becoming more comfortable operating in the low post and adding a go-to move to his repertoire, along with the ability to consistently knock down 10-15 footers.

At least six men were part of the heist, which was thought to be masterminded by UFC competitor "Lightning" Lee Murray. "The story is a very unique British heist tale with colorful London characters. I've always wanted to shoot in England and Kerry is the perfect writer to bring authenticity to this outrageous true bank job," said Aronofsky. Originally, the film was also going to focus on Murray's life.
It was only a matter of time. I love heist flicks, so I am pretty damn excited for this.

A central place for ad buyers to plug data and tech into their media buys, DSP-style.
AppNexus, a key Microsoft partner and operator of the largest real-time bidding marketplace, has launched a platform for media buyers to access "apps" from a menu of ad tech vendors.
Starting tomorrow, buyers - be they agencies, ad networks, or enterprise marketers - can access the company's new App Marketplace to assemble media buys using capabilities from eight companies. Those companies are data vendors eXelate, Brilig, and Lotame; contextual vendors Proximic and uKnow; offline/online data firm TARGUSinfo; and privacy icon enablement vendors Evidon and TRUSTe. Other firms with apps in development include Crystal Semantics, BlueKai, and Peer39. And AppNexus says that's just the beginning.
On its surface, the value to marketers is similar to what's already on offer from demand-side platforms like Turn, MediaMath, Google-owned Invite Media, and DataXu. These companies also promise to let agencies and advertisers easily work with third-party data providers, targeting technologies, and inventory sources.
Part of the difference with AppNexus's platform, according to the company, comes down to openness. It resides on the ad server, uses APIs, and anyone can build on it (though there's no guarantee AppNexus will approve an app). "You'd expect rich media providers, video providers, really anyone who sells to the same customers we do should be able to plug in and save those customers steps, improve the workflow, improve efficiency, and otherwise unite the ecosystem," Ari Paparo, SVP of product, told ClickZ at the AppNexus Summit in New York this morning.
Meanwhile ad tech companies can refine and customize the user experience more than they can with a DSP; they can build apps that look nice, are responsive, and reduce steps for advertisers. "They're able to help their common customers to figure out what they want to buy and reflect that in their own way, and thereby not be commoditized and disintermediated," said Paparo. In a similar vein, AppNexus CTO Mike Nolet said the App Marketplace will provide a means for ad technology firms to focus on what they do best, rather than feel pressure to build standalone ad networks around their targeting technologies. "Pure technology companies are struggling," Nolet said. "It's a lot of work to sell technology. As a result, a lot of companies package technology together with media."
Proximic CEO Phillipp Pieper demonstrated how his company's app can be used to build custom category segments and get a real-time view of available inventory. He showed how a search for "fishing" turns up custom categories such as "fly fishing" and "traditional fishing" that together match to 146,000 impressions.
"By choosing segment characteristics you can see in real time how much inventory goes against it," he said.
And what would it take for AppNexus to reject an app? Paparo said, "If it doesn't serve any useful purpose, or if it encourages people to buy or sell inventory through another system."

New GWEDC chief Tim Chase versed in trials of creating jobs
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described financing for incentives for a Natura USA deal. Funds were authorized by the Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation and selling Natura USA's assets will mostly cover the failed deal. Also the amount supplied by the corporation in the Magic Aire deal was $1 million.
Wichita Falls is the city Texas forgot.
Wichita Falls has not grown since 2000, even as Texas added 5 million people, a 20 percent increase.
Yet those who have worked with the head of Wichita Falls' economic development effort call him "very effective" and "solid."
The reason that is important is that the Greater Wichita Economic Development Coalition just hired Tim Chase as its president.
Chase's job in Wichita is to increase the number and diversity of jobs by recruiting new companies and helping existing ones expand. The coalition's job creation goal is 7,500 new jobs over the next five years.
Chase, former executive director of the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said staying even in population and down slightly in jobs is a victory given traumatic events of the last five to seven years in his former Texas home.
A series of major plant closings slammed the city, with a loss of between 2,500 and 3,500 jobs, but he led the community's aggressive – in one instance, too aggressive – counterattack.
Wichita Falls, 100 miles northwest of Fort Worth and a few miles from the Oklahoma border, sounds a lot like what Wichita would be if it hadn't developed an aircraft industry.
It was founded on agriculture and grew with oil and, later, manufacturing. Today, it has a diversified economy with a large government component: Sheppard Air Force Base, the school district, a large state hospital and a prison are among its largest employers. About 150,000 people live in its metro area.
Metro Wichita has a population of about 620,000, a 10 percent increase since 2000.
In the last two decades, Wichita Falls hasn't benefited much from factors that have buoyed other Texas cities, such as oil and gas production, transportation and refining, large-scale immigration and large universities, he said.
The unemployment rate has been relatively low, consistently lower than Wichita's, but it also has significantly lower per capita income and lower education levels as well.
Recession blamed
Starting in 2008, the city suffered a series of plant closings and layoffs.
The recession laid bare the fact that the plants were lagging technologically, so when a company consolidated or sold, Wichita Falls often lost out, Chase said.
For instance, he said, the city's large Delphi plant made automobile oxygen sensors. When the technology switched to digital, the company discovered others could make them cheaper, so it sold the division and the plant closed.
In 2009, the chamber board, which consists of city business leaders, agreed on a risky new strategy: take a more entrepreneurial approach by growing their own jobs, as well as the more traditional attraction and retention functions.
Chase said the city had nearly 20 deals in the first two years, mostly with local companies seeking financing.
"Rather than being surprised or upset when a company ceases operations and then jumping on the accelerator and working harder to offset that, our strategy was to work hard 24/7 at trying to create wealth knowing that in the current environment that if we don't do that the outlook is very bleak," he said.
As ammunition, Chase could draw on Wichita Falls' Economic Development Corp. fund, called the 4A fund, which contained $26 million at the time, said Wichita Falls Mayor Glenn Barham. The city has a one-quarter cent sales tax, equal to about $3.5 million per year, which goes directly into the pool. Another one-quarter cent, the 4B fund, is devoted more generally to capital projects.
One of those projects was helping local interests buy the local Magic Aire air conditioning plant after the parent company decided to sell it.
Ron Duncan, now president of the company, was the general manager at the time. When he heard of the plans to sell, he realized that the buyer would likely take the name and designs and shut down the plant.
He called Chase, who immediately connected him to investors and bankers in the community for financing. When they fell short of the amount needed, the 4A board extended them a $1 million loan.
The loan is forgivable if Magic Aire keeps the present number of workers for 20 years, and gets a few thousands dollars in cash for each additional worker, Duncan said.
Two and a half years later, Duncan's company is still operating, making payments and has even added four or five people. He said that Chase was one of the keys to saving the plant and its 100 or so jobs.
"He seemed really solid to me," Duncan said. "I never did this before and thought the chamber meetings were mainly for trying to sell me something, but I learned the chamber is very involved in economic development."
Mattress venture
One of the biggest of those deals was to bring in two associated companies, Natura USA and Gel Solutions, to make a brand new kind of mattress.
In return for a promise of 400 jobs, the 4A board gave the company a $5.5 million loan to license the technology and buy new equipment. It spent $2 million to renovate the vacant Delphi plant and promised a cash grant for each worker hired.
The mattresses never sold that well, few workers were hired and both companies shut down last year. The loans are secured by the equipment and some of the leftover mattresses, Chase said.
"There are folks who believe that in hindsight we made a mistake, that we partnered with a company that was too risky," Chase said. "We did all of our homework and the leaders sat around the table – we were thousands of jobs down and faced with an opportunity to put 400 folks back to work – we weighed the risk and decided to go for it."
With that one big exception, he said, the other 20-plus projects are thriving or surviving, he said.
He estimated that the city has gained back a net of 1,500 to 1,800 jobs since 2009, even counting the Natura USA mess. And he expects the benefits from the other projects to accelerate as the economy improves.
"In the last six to 12 months," he said, "we aren't setting any records, but we are moving forward with some momentum."

Tune into live police precept debate
6:00pm Wednesday 5th February 2014 in New Forest News By Miranda Robertson
EVERYONE is invited to tune into a live Dorset Police and Crime Panel hearing tomorrow morning at 10am.
The panel will meet to review the Commissioner's precept proposal for 2014/15, and the meeting will be broadcast at webcasting.dorsetforyou.com/core.
Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner Martyn Underhill said: "This is an important meeting as I will be laying out my plans for a 1.96 per cent increase in the policing precept for Dorset.
"It will help people understand how decisions relating to council tax are made and the role the panel plays in setting the budget.
"Openness, transparency and accountability is key to my work and I encourage people to watch the debate online."
The proposed rise equates to a 7p a week increase or, a rise from £183.51 to £187.11 annually for the average band D household.
This will enable 16 new officers to be recruited, 300 body-worn videos to be and seven rural community vehicles to be bought and bought, and a local cyber crime awareness campaign.
The panel has the power to veto the proposed precept if it decides it is either too high or too low but the veto must be agreed by two-thirds of panel members.

News: Dr. Dre Laces Rick Ross W/ $100,000 B-Day Gift [Video]
Thursday, Feb 2, 2012 9:02AM
Maybach Music Group boss Rick Ross not only got Dr. Dre to come celebrate his 36th birthday last weekend but new reports show the Doc laced him with a $100,000 present.
According to reports and as seen in a new vlog, Dre gave Ricky Rozay a high-priced watch for his special day.
Rick Ross usually flaunts more bling than you're bound to find in your local Zales, wearing a price-tag most days that could support the governments of a majority of 3rd World countries, so I've got to ask: why the hell would you give him more jewelry? Why do I ask? Well, as you've seen in the headline and will see in the video below, Dr. Dre felt it necessary to gift Ross a $100,000 Hubolt watch for his birthday this past weekend in Miami. Yeah, it's all showcased in a video for the home movie collection. I'm assuming the guy who wanted to give an Amazon gift card was probably sulking in the bathroom while all of this was going down. (Prefix Mag)
A fan of flaunting, Ricky Rozay recently showed off an enormous diamond-encrusted Maybach Music Group chain.
Rick Ross is known to have a serious jewelry game, but this new piece may send his ice collection over the top. The bawse, who just released his Rich Forever mixtape, took to Twitter and shared a photo of his latest chain, a MMG piece. What makes this chain worth talking about is the fact that the pendant is ridiculously big. Something similar to T-Pain's "Big Ass Chain," Ross will have folks talking about his new jewels for a while. "Chain so big can't pop my collar!" - Rick Ross (VIBE)
Photos of Ross' celebrity-filled birthday celebration hit the Internet earlier this week.
Rick Ross cemented a weekend of jet-set partying for his 36th birthday in ultimate style Sunday night at his home base in Miami, surrounded by some of his closest friends and thousands of fans. Club Amnesia was packed wall to wall with almost no wiggle room, filled with hip-hop heavyweights and club revelers watching closely, competing to get a shot of the action. Fans cheered, "Happy birthday, boss," as an elated Ross made his way to Amnesia's top-level VIP area, where dozens of music celebrities -- including producer/singer Sean Garrett, actor Evan Ross and powerhouse producer Dr. Dre -- were waiting in the wings for his arrival. Dre was easily the night's most-talked-about guest, as the sight of him and Ross together confirmed their union after being spotted hanging out together in Miami recently. (MTV)
Last week, Dre was seen hanging out with Ross and Miami's DJ Khaled.
Rick Ross showed his idol Dr. Dre a good time during his trip to Miami this week. The West Coast vet flew into town to hit the studio with the Maybach Music boss, but also made time to celebrate. "Got Dr. Dre in Miami all week..my Bday party @ Club Amnesia Hosted by @iamdiddy Sunday will be like never before," tweeted Rozay, who earlier received a call from Dre. DJ Khaled hinted at what's to come. "I told yall the game was going change well hre's a gift," he wrote. "stay tuned!" (Rap-Up)
