Vegas is a great place to go to have a bachelor, bachelorette, or birthday party, but not everyone can afford to make the trip from Portland. Instead of going to a casino for a party, how about bringing the casino to the party? Play great casino games without the travel and financial risk involved in a real Vegas trip.
What games can a Casino Party include? How about Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Texas Holdem, and of course Poker.
Pick invitations and decorations for your event with a casino theme. You may want to hire a band, a DJ, or even a showgirl for your event. If you can't afford to hire a real showgirl, a cardboard cutout can serve instead. Your imagination is the limit.
Odds are your casino party will be a great success!
Planning to have a picnic in Portland? Perhaps the most important part of any picnic is the food. Hamburgers and hot dogs are favorite picnic foods and are easily prepared on the grill at the park. You can also rent a large gas grill for your picnic. If you don't want to cook any food at the park, pizza or sub sandwiches are an easy solution or go pot luck and let everyone share the work.
Portland has many gorgeous settings for picnics, but there is one potential problem with having any outdoor events in Portland- the weather. Portland is one of the rainiest cities in the United states with an average of 222 cloudy days per year. When planning for an outdoor event in Portland therefore, plan for the rain. Pick a park with a picnic shelter or use a tent. On the off chance a picnic takes place on a warm, sunny day, guests will be glad to have the shelter for shade. Even Portland gets hot sometimes.
If you are having a large party of using any special equipment for your picnic, be sure to reserve your picnic site ahead of time to make sure that the space is available when you have your event. Smaller picnics do not necessarily need to reserve a space, but keep in mind without reservations another party might take the space you want if there is a specific site you have in mind.
If you are having a party with lots of kids, consider renting inflatable bounce houses or other games and entertainment. A covered bounce house provides a space for the kids to play out of the rain.
Hope your picnic day is sunny and bright, but with a little preparation, your picnic can be a success no matter what the weather.
If you are planning a large warm weather event, like a fair or a concert, selling ice cream bars is a no brainer. When people get hot, they are going to want to cool off, plus ice cream is a delicious treat. People even buy ice cream when the weather is cold (or else all the ice cream shops would close for the winter).
So what kind of treats can you put into an ice cream cart? Pretty much any kind of frozen ice cream bar or popsicle will work. Check with bulk grocery stores such as Costco or Cash 'n Carry to see what is available locally and watch for sales at local grocery stores. Sometimes grocery stores will have sales on ice cream bars that make them even cheaper than the bulk stores.
Here are some ice cream bars and frozen treats that you can consider selling in an ice cream cart:
Ben and Jerrys
Bars (chocolate dipped ice cream): Cherry Garcia, Fudge Brownie, Half Baked
Blue Bunny

Link Roundup! Fee-less Banks; Bankable Stars; When Success Isn't a Straight Line
Success is not a straight line; success is a sine curve, even for the Internet famous. That can be really, really hard to remember, and harder still to admit.
Screwing Myself With The Credit Card I Swore I'd Pay Off Every Month
I am a person who puts debit cards in her pocket and then leaves them there, and then goes a week without it and is just like, "Okay, I don't know where my debit card is, I know it's somewhere in a coat pocket or a jeans pocket or a tote bag, I'll look for it later."
C is for Collateral
Loans with collateral are referred to as "secured debt," and loans without as "unsecured debt."
'Can We Talk Finances?' 'Not Tonight Dear I Have a Headache'
As it turns out, you can't merely wave your hand in a languorous way and say, "Be a dear and invest it in low-cost index funds won't you, Philip? There's a good chap." I mean, for one thing, who is Philip, is he the butler? And if so how does he have access to the accounts?
Latina Working for the Grey Lady Tells All
Awesome excerpts are available in Salon from Daisy Hernandez's upcoming book about working at the New York Times. Spoiler alert: she did not have a great time. The hardest part was trying to negotiate a White Male workspace. "Black boys consistently do badly in school," her editor told her at one point, when she pitched a story about racism. "It's like it's genetic!"
Still, for a long time, getting her dream job meant independence, career advancement, and the kind of financial security her parents desperately wanted for her.
At the Times, people spend their days writing and then get paid every two weeks. It happens even if you disagree with Mr. Flaco or if you write a bad piece that needs tons of editing. You still get paid. So, convinced that this life can't be mine, I insist on taking my intern paycheck to the bank every two weeks and cashing it. Each time the black teller hands me the stack of hundred dollar bills, I feel that I am real and that this is really happening to me. It is a lesson I learned from my mother.
On Fridays, if she had been paid at the factory, Tía Chuchi would take my sister and me to meet my mother at the bank, where she would be waiting on line with a check, that precious slip of paper in her hand. She would take the money from the bank teller in one swift move, as if someone was going to steal it from her, and then she would move over to the side and count the bills, slipping them into a small envelope the way she would place a pillow in a pillowcase. Those dollars were freedom. We could afford an evening meal at McDonald's and pasteles, too.
"I Stopped Carrying a Wallet When I Became Homeless"
I suppose I could use my old wallet, but it's full of a life I no longer lead. The owner of that wallet once had an apartment, a full time job, and disposable income, an abundant life that utilized all of the slots.
Overdrafting With Simple
I have a checking account with Simple, and now that we've combined finances it is my "fun money" account. My tagline for them is basically, "Simple: not as bad as most banks, but still a bank, ok?"
The End of Signatures at the Checkout Counter
I have three different signatures that I use:
• My full name in legible cursive, which I use when signing personal checks and legal documents
• An abbreviated version of my name, which I use when signing anything digitally
• A scribble, which I use when I'm signing receipts for various merchants
Russian Bank Loans Both Money and Cats
Here's a heartwarming piece of financial news, which I also saw first on Jezebel:
In Russia, when you move into a new home, it is considered good luck if a cat is the first creature to cross the home's threshold.
Russian bank Sberbank wants to make sure its customers are the luckiest people ever, so it is now loaning out cats to customers who take out new mortgages. You get the cat for two hours, during which time it crosses your threshold and gives you the good luck that all new homeowners deserve.
Even if you don't speak or read Russian, take the time to check out the bank's special "cat promotion" website. There's an adorable video that explains the process:
There's also a gallery of the 10 available cats and the number of thresholds each of them has crossed. (Yes, there is even a hairless cat for people who have allergies.)
Who here wishes their bank would also loan out cats? There was that time last year where Uber loaned people kittens, but we could all benefit from greater access to the cat loan economy.
Not to mention all that good luck.

Absence of Accountability in Recent High School Attacks
Toward the beginning of 2013, Lockport (N.Y.) High School athletic director Patrick Burke was the recipient of the 2013 Empire State Supervisors and Administrators Association's Administrator of the Year Award. He has been praised by his peers for his work ethic and leadership, and for being a role model at the school he loves and within the community he serves. Toward the end of 2013, Burke found himself the recipient of something entirely different: a beating by two intoxicated students he attempted to confront for unruly behavior at a basketball scrimmage.

Tuesday Takedown: Compression Socks Put to the Test
I have to admit, I've heard the buzz on knee-high compression socks boosting running performance and improving recovery for quite some time, and have even done a little research on the subject to determine if I should be the next convert that says goodbye to ankle-high socks and hello to awkward tan lines. "Increase oxygen delivery." "Decrease lactic acid." "Prevent cramps." "Minimize muscle fatigue." In theory, that sounds great. But then you get to the part where researcher after researcher explain that little to no evidence exists supporting the claim that these garments actually do improve performance during exercise. But then something pretty spectacular happened last month. Meb Keflezighi became the first American to win the Boston Marathon in 31 years — and he did it wearing knee-high compression socks.

Overcoming Gym Membership Retention Challenges
The rise of lower-priced clubs have put greater pressure on gym owners to create an environment that keeps members happy while also empowering them to feel confident that their gym membership investment is well worth it. Ultimately, though, they may lose those members to lower-priced alternatives, writing off the member loss as simply a financial decision. The reality is that the warning signs were there; they just failed to see what was right in front of them.

Watertown (Mass.)

If the cookie fell out, they were forced to eat it.

Tuesday Takedown: Feeling The Bang With Diamond Dallas Page
Age Wave CEO Ken Dychtwald delivered the first keynote presentation at last year's Athletic Business Conference & Expo in San Diego. The theme of his inspiring talk was embracing active aging, as well as the wellness revolution. He began his presentation by telling the audience of 2,500 plus the story of Arthur, a former Army paratrooper who had been injured during the Gulf War. Too many jumps had taken its toll on Arthur's back and knees, and for the past 15 years, he had been told by medical "experts" that he would never walk unassisted again. In his inspirational video watched by more than 10 million people (and embedded below), Arthur describes himself as a 47-year-old disabled veteran who had given up. He couldn't walk. He couldn't run. He had no hope until he reached out to one person: Diamond Dallas Page.

Technology, Collaboration Key to Protecting Open-Access Events
No one anticipated — no one could have anticipated — what happened on that day," recalls Boston Police Commissioner William Evans. An avid runner with more than 40 marathons under his belt, including last year's Boston Marathon, Evans has been preparing harder for this year's Boston Marathon than any other race he's run. But unlike previous years, his morning runs with a member of the Boston Athletic Association aren't meant as training for his participation in the race; they are meant as preparation for his more daunting task of protecting the race.

(In an interesting twist, Manhattan opted to keep Masiello but only if he completed his undergraduate degree.)

Security In Spotlight at 2014 Boston Marathon
"Watched my dad come up Boylston as I stood outside the Lenox Hotel. We high fived as he passed and then once he made it down to the finish area I turned around to walk back to Ring Street to try make my way to the meeting area. First explosion happened within seconds of turning around. People screamed and a few around me yelled to "Stay calm." It was so crowded where I was standing no one really got anywhere before the second blast. At that point, it was crazy, I got pushed into the alley way and everyone around me was knocked to the ground. Since we were between the two blasts it wasn't clear which way to run. I went toward Exeter and jumped the barricade to get off Boylston and to search for my dad as quickly as possible."

Improving Pool Safety with Model Aquatic Health Code
The movie "Jaws" made you afraid to go into the water, but it was the inclusion of the "Jaws" theme music in another "scary" water scene five years later that likely resonated more with moviegoers. But instead of a shark, the object of fear was a Baby Ruth candy bar. Harold Ramis' classic comedy "Caddyshack" — virtually impossible not to quote while golfing nearly 35 years after its release — makes light of the pool safety nightmare known as a Code Brown, but that subject is certainly no laughing matter to pool operators tasked with keeping their aquatic facilities safe and clean.

Fan Violence Reaching New Lows
Levi's Stadium is the most technologically advanced stadium in the U.S., so why have people only been talking about what's happened in its bathrooms? The reason is a sickening video that shows a fan apparently telling another fan that a stall is open for him to use. The fan responds with three fast punches that knock that fan unconscious, rendering him partially paralyzed.

The Death of the Multisport Athlete
Friday night lights are back for high schools across the country, and as you read this, many of the nation's top athletes are hard at work on the gridiron preparing for this week's upcoming game. I remember my first experience around a star athlete. I was 11 years old and my oldest brother was attending Wheaton North High School, which at that time was home to Kent Graham, the best high school athlete in the state of Illinois. Kent was a 6-foot-5-inch physical freak and the number-one-ranked quarterback in the nation. He also played safety. He earned three all-conference distinctions in basketball and regularly hit .400 for the baseball team. My dad fondly recalls Kent hitting a home run off my brother in Little League that cleared the lights and still hasn't landed.

Should Athletes Lose Scholarships Over Social Media Miscues?
One of the debates that has intrigued me recently involves the increasing amount of coaches that are withdrawing scholarship offers due to a high school recruit exhibiting unacceptable or inappropriate behavior on social media. According to this story we published last week, high school coaches in Georgia are applauding University of Georgia head football coach Mark Richt for dropping a recruit that misbehaved on Twitter.

Protecting Athletes From Heat-Related Illnesses
No one should forget that deadly week in the summer of 2011 when two high school football players and one high school football coach died from heat-related causes. That following summer, in 2012, athletic administrators were feeling a different kind of heat: parents of the two football players who died in 2011, Isaiah Laurencin in Florida and Don'terio J. Searcy in Georgia, sued their respective county boards, asserting that the coaches pushed the boys too hard. Both schools, Miramar (Fla.) High School and Fitzgerald (Ga.) High School, boast prominent football programs. And it's not just the schools and county boards drawing the legislative ire of angry parents.

Shaping the Future of Athletics Safety and Security
Editor's note: Look for more Sports Venue Safety articles as we publish a new one online each day this week. Or, view the entire digital issue here.
My first exposures to the issues of safety and security at a sporting event came when I was eight years old. It was at Old Comiskey, back when the Chicago White Sox were "winning ugly" in the American League West. I remember going to at least half a dozen games that year with my father as the White Sox fought for an AL West championship, but that wasn't the only fighting I witnessed. The fights in the stands became as much of a spectacle as the game itself. It got to a point that we never wondered if a fight would break it, but rather when. Though I attended games with my father, a U.S. Navy SEAL and Golden Gloves boxing champion, I never had a complete sense of safety. Still, I was undeterred. I loved going to Old Comiskey and watching the White Sox despite the extracurricular activities.

Tuesday Takedown: Talking Sports Safety at NCS4
I had the pleasure to travel down beautifully boring I-65 to Indianapolis last week for the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security's annual conference, where the superheroes of the sports security world gathered to address the constantly evolving challenge of protecting its venues, athletes and spectators from new and old threats alike. Outside of the Athletic Business Conference & Expo, there is no other conference I look forward to attending more, and this year's show did not disappoint.

Tuesday Takedown: Collegiate Safety Best Practices
NCS4 kicked off its annual conference and expo Monday with the formal introduction of its Intercollegiate Athletics Safety and Security Best Practices Guide. The 100-plus page "living" document is the result of collegiate security and safety leaders brainstorming ideas at NCS4's first National Intercollegiate Athletics Safety and Security Summit last January at the University of Southern Mississippi, according to symposium moderator Paul Denton, chief of police at Ohio State University.

Tuesday Takedown: Security Fails Marring Best World Cup
Security at this year's FIFA World Cup has been intensely scrutinized, starting months in advance as host country Brazil raced to get its stadiums ready for the 32-team tournament, a topic addressed by AB's Michael Gaio last month. Next came the safety of athletes, coaches and spectators.

Welcome to ClassWars, the home of Activist Radio, a weekly program for all Americans who are not in the wealthiest one percent of the US population.
Class wars have been going on since the beginning of recorded history. As societies become more powerful and wealthy, they often become more corrupt. At the end of each cycle, a few rich families own practically everything and rule with an iron fist. Military over-expansion with its endless wars, another trademark of a debased and undemocratic society, often brings about great poverty and suffering.
Class wars is a dirty term in our media, which always implies that America is above such crudeness. But the very rich are not above that at all. They have been waging an especially intense attack on working people since the 1970's, and have accumulated immense wealth and power at the expense of the rest of us.
Of course, class wars are not fought with tanks and bombs, but with crooked politicians, right wing think tanks and corporate owned media. For the very rich to maintain and increase their share of the national wealth, they have to fool you. How else could one percent of our population call the shots for ninety-nine percent?
Activist Radio will attempt to show you how the few richest of our citizens lie to the rest of us to expand their power and wealth. They are sick with greed, of course. But so far, the rest of us are what might be worse, and that is stupid. None of the information presented is particularly new or really very hard to find, although you won't read it in the mainstream press or see it on TV. If that is what you are relying on for news, you are being suckered, my friend. I don't know how to put it any nicer.
So sit back, relax, and listen to Activist Radio every Thursday from 5:00 to 6:00 PM on WVKR in Poughkeepsie (91.3 FM). And if the word spreads that the emperor has no clothes and you want to be entertained from another part of the globe, point your browser to:

Recent stories on Activist Radio may have you thinking about some important issues. Put another way, you could be wondering if most of what we say is totally made up, since you probably haven't seen it on TV. But here are some links on stories we have done. Get the full stories on:

The total number of neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) on the world's roadways will grow from 479,000 in 2011 to 695,000 by 2017, a 45% increase, according to a recent report from Pike Research (Boulder, Co., U.S.A.). Annual NEV sales will rise from 37,000 vehicles to nearly 55,000 units by 2017, the cleantech market intelligence firm forecasts, and North America will account for 45% of worldwide sales.
Research and consulting firm Northeast Group, LLC (Washington, D.C.) last week released its Mexico Smart Grid Market Forecast, which projects the total smart grid market will reach a cumulative $8.3 billion by 2020. Mexico trails only Brazil in terms of potential for smart grid in the Latin America region. The smart metering market in Mexico represents the largest opportunity, with more than 21 million smart meters to be deployed by the end of the decade, according to the report.
On Friday, the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Consortium (VIIC), a consortium of global automakers, announced they will join key government officials and other automakers from around the world to help accelerate the development of connected vehicles by harmonizing standards.
KORE Telematics (Alpharetta Ga., U.S.A.), a wireless services provider specializing in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, last week announced the Quickstart Program for accelerating the development, testing and deployment of M2M applications.
Through partnerships with ClearConnex (Raleigh, N.C., U.S.A.), an embedded wireless engineering firm, and Richardson RFPD (LaFox, Ill., U.S.A.), a value-added global component distributor, KORE is now able to deliver critical components required by M2M application developers to develop and test a complete M2M solution.
NRG Energy (Princeton N.J., U.S.A.), one of the largest power operators in the U.S., formed a new company last month with the University of Delaware to test out how vehicle-to-grid (V2G) can keep a grid stable as the share of intermittent renewable energy sources rises. V2G allows electric cars to pump electricity back into the grid when power demand spikes.
Telit Wireless Solutions, the North American technology arm of Telit Communications PLC (Trieste, Italy), announced that its cellular M2M module will provide wireless connectivity for breath alcohol ignition interlock provider LifeSafer's (Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A.) wireless breath alcohol device, which allows law enforcement authorities to monitor DUI offenders in real time.
Czech power group CEZ (Prague, Czech Republic) plans to have 23,500 smart energy meters installed in western Bulgaria by the end of 2012 to help modernize its power grid and boost its efficiency, the company said on Wednesday.
CEZ -- central and Eastern Europe's largest utility -- has already installed more than 18,000 smart meters costing some $46.5 million since 2009, it said in a statement. The number should hit 20,000 by the end of 2011.
IBM (Armonk, N.Y., U.S.A.) last week announced it has joined a collaborative consortium to help develop an energy grid that uses at least 50% of renewable energy sources, such as wind power, solar energy and biogas. Led by a European Union-funded consortium, the EcoGrid EU project will demonstrate a smart energy grid that will allow smart devices to use renewable electricity based on near real-time pricing and availability, according to the consortium.
The adoption of machine-to-machine (M2M) applications has really come on strong during the past 12 - 24 months. Component, hardware and network costs have all decreased to levels that make the development and sale of M2M applications an attractive business opportunity across a growingly diverse set of vertical industries. In fact, Analysys Mason is predicting that the global market for M2M devices will grow to 2.1 billion connected devices by 2020, up from 62 million in 2010.
Reporting live from the CTIA Enterprise and Applications show in San Diego, California, the M2M Zone has had a chance to speak with many leading industry executives to get their take on one of the hot topics of the week: 2G versus 3G and 4G in M2M applications.
It seems that everyone has their own opinion on the matter, but most agree that 2G isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Blagojevich Update
POSTED: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 - 7:09am
UPDATED: Thursday, April 8, 2010 - 12:41am
A report released Tuesday shows there was no suspect behavior between 2 of President-Elect Obama's top aides, and indicted Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Incoming White House Attorney, Greg Craig made an internal investigation at Obama's request.
Craig's report confirms that neither Obama nor his incoming Senior Advisor had any contact with Blagojevich about the vacant Senate seat.
Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel did have 1 or 2 calls with Blagojevich in early November about the seat, but no wrong-doing was noted.
Comments News Comments
I think Blagojevich is been railroaded by
the senate, why don't they play the full tape. It seems Pat Quinn is anxious to be
govenor. Whats going on. I smell something fishey

As a new bride, on a strict budget I was bent on sticking to my guns! Groveland was the second place I looked and the last place I looked. I fell in love with everything as Liz went through room by room describing wha my wedding day could be if I had it there at groveland fairways. Their landscaping was under construction and they were removing the driving range at the time I visited and through all that Liz was able to help me picture what the vision was for the future of the venue. Liz was nothing short of amazing! As busy as wedding season can be she made me and my now husband feel as though we were the only ones that mattered, truly making our days up to and our wedding day as and even more special than I could imagine! They take pride with every detail you can or may not think of, set everything up making your visions truly come true! It rained all morning on our wedding day which hindered us from having our ceremony in their beautiful outside area however Liz called me to check in when the rain stopped and made their fireside room beyond beautiful for our ceremony! Liz and her team are truly amazing and truly are what sold me on the venue from my first visit! Thank you so much to Liz, Jordan and vinwood caterers for making our day a lifetime memory!

My husband and I are thrilled that we chose Groveland Fairways for our wedding! We had a good feeling about the venue from the moment we stepped in and were greeted by Liz (head event coordinator). She was friendly, professional and made us feel comfortable right off the bat. We appreciated the fact that she never pressured us to choose Groveland Fairways and gave us space and time to look around their indoor and outdoor venue aspects. During the planning process, Liz was very helpful and responsive. Her guidance was of great value to us, as we didn't always know exactly what we wanted. The day of our wedding, each piece went seamlessly. My groom and I felt relaxed and confident that Liz and the team were all on the same page. We didn't have to worry about anything ; from the table set-up to the end of the night clean-up, it was all taken care of quietly and neatly. We would highly recommend Groveland Fairways for any special event.H

Liz won us over the first time we met with her - she was so easy to talk to and organized and we knew she would go above and beyond to make our wedding perfect (and she did!) We received so many compliments on how wonderful the wedding was and how smoothly everything went. Liz made sure that everything went according to schedule and she (and her staff) were wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. The outdoor ceremony area and patio are beautiful and were perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I can't say enough about how wonderful everything was, it far exceeded my expectations!

Five years ago I visited Groveland Fairways with my best friend who was planning her wedding. It was the one venue I never forgot. Four years later I walked in and it was better than I remembered. They had done some renovations since the last time I had been there and I was sold. Liz was amazing to work with, she felt more than a friend which made the process so easy! Within the past year they have done even more renovations and added to their outdoor space. I love that I can say we were the first couple to get married in front of the brand new outdoor fireplace. It was the perfect back drop for our ceremony and made for some amazing pictures. I cannot say enough good things about Groveland Fairways and its amazing staff. They have 2 caterers and you can't go wrong with either one, our guests could not stop compliments the food! Thank you so much Liz and Jordan for making my wedding a dream come true!

We visited a few wedding venues and this was the one that won us over with its beautiful yet private grounds and gorgeous hall, it felt like a very beautiful home the first time we walked in and Liz made us feel very "at home." She really got along well with my mother, who can be difficult to please, but this is just a testament to how wonderful Liz really is at what she does. She always made us feel like she was giving us the best advice. She really did an amazing job on the day of to make sure that everything went so smoothly and was so pleasant and wonderful during the process. The venue and the day overall surpassed all of my expectations and I had the best day ever! Thank you for everything!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Groveland Fairways on August 29, 2014. We had visited several venues prior to Groveland Fairways and had just not found the place to have our special event. As soon as we met Liz (the event coordinator) and viewed the grounds we knew that this was the perfect location to have our wedding. Liz was phenomenal throughout the entire process. I'm not much of a planner and tend to be indecisive but from the start it was obvious Liz was passionate, organized and she really helped make our day as special as it was. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic the event was. We had our ceremony onsite, outside and our cocktail hour was on the patio. The staff at the Fairways lit the outdoor fireplace at night which many of our guests enjoyed while others enjoyed spending time in the photo booth in the fireside room and others spend their time on the dance floor. We had Vinewood cater our wedding and were thrilled with the stations that we chose. Liz and her staff were so accommodating throughout the day and it wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without their help. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue that offers the option of onsite ceremonies, an exceptional staff and beautiful grounds than Groveland Fairways is the choice for you! Liz and her staff will help you throughout the entire process and make sure your day is as beautiful as you imagined. We had an absolutely perfect wedding, and it couldn't have been without the help of Liz and Jordan. Choosing the Fairways for our wedding venue was one of the best choices we made during our planning process. Liz, her staff, the venue and the day surpassed our expectations and for that we will be forever grateful! Thank you Liz and Jordan for making our day extraordinary it is a day we will truly always cherish!

We had our wedding on Aug. 2, 2014 at the Groveland Fairways and both of us are extremely happy with how the entire day went. The venue had everything we needed for our wedding and from the beginning Liz was great. She helped us through a lot of the decisions and was always available to answer any questions we had. Her recommendations for other vendors worked out great too. Liz and her group had the place looking awesome on the big day (and the weather worked out too!), the outdoor grounds were landscaped beautifully and gave the wedding guests plenty of room to spread out during the cocktail hour. The party was great and everything went smoothly from the pictures, the food, the DJ, all of it and Liz coordinated it all together. I would absolutely recommend Liz and Groveland Fairways for a wedding.

The Fairways was the perfect place for our wedding. The ceremony space is simple and pretty, and the expanded patio and new outdoor fireplace are gorgeous, all of our guests loved it. Inside the venue is just as beautiful, and Liz is great to work with through the whole process. I highly recommend Groveland Fairways if you want a beautiful location for a great value.

Right when I arrived at Groveland Fairways to check it out as a possible wedding venue, I fell in love. Everything about the place was absolutely perfect. Fifteen months later, I had my wedding there and it was even more perfect than I had imagined. Throughout those 15 months, the wedding coordinator, Liz, went above and beyond my expectations, especially on my wedding day. Not only is she super friendly and professional, but she shows she actually cares about the brides and families she works with. It is very important to have somebody like that working with you while you plan your special day and while you are actually living that day.
Another great thing about Liz: she didn't let the rain ruin my day! I originally planned for my ceremony to be outside, but we ended up having it inside because of the rain. The few days leading up to the wedding we knew it was going to rain and Liz kept me calm and happy and assured me that we would still have a beautiful day, and we did! I wasn't even disappointed because the Fireside Room is a beautiful place to get married and I loved it :)
I am so happy that I chose Groveland Fairways as my wedding venue. It was absolutely perfect.

I worked with Liz and had the best experience! When I emailed Liz asking for more information she was very fast at getting back to me, she answered all my questions via email and we set up a time for me to look at the venue. As soon as I stepped foot in Groveland Fairways I knew it was the place for me. It has such a warm and homey feeling. Liz showed us around and then we sat down in the reception area and talked. She answered all my questions and even told me things I would have never thought to ask. The venue has a beautiful plan b for raining weather if you are planning an outdoor ceremony which I was. It is apart from the reception area. Throughout the planning process Liz was there every step of the way for me, emailing me to make sure I was on top of things and not forgetting about any details. The day of the wedding everything was picture perfect I couldn't have asked for a better venue or staff to work with! I would without a doubt recommend Groveland Fairways to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

Groveland Fairways (GF) is an absolutely stunning venue to hold your wedding. Liz, the main coordinator is absolutely fantastic! She is very easy to speak with and answers all questions quickly and concisely, whether by phone or email. We worked with Liz from Nov. '12 until our wedding in June '14 and during that time we learned how passionate she is about making sure every detail of the wedding is perfect. She is the consummate professional! Jordan, the 2nd coordinator was excellent and very helpful during the wedding.
GF is a beautiful venue and with Liz it makes it even better. When we first entered GF we could tell that this venue was different from the 10 venues we toured prior. It is exceptionally clean with not a speck of dirt anywhere. The air inside is clean and refreshing as the staff cleans immediately after every wedding and nothing is left to sit until the next day.
At GF, there is a choice between two preferred caterers. Liz recommended Vinwood Catering to cater a gluten free wedding. Between Liz and Vinwood, the menu turned out amazing. If you are looking for a venue and caterer that really knows dietary concerns, then this is the place for you!
For an indoor ceremony there is a gorgeous space called the Fireside Room. It has a stunning fireplace to compliment the space. The owners are always making improvements and are the nicest people. When we booked GF in 2012 we knew it was an amazing venue, but it got even better as they continually made improvements.
We had an absolutely perfect wedding, and it couldn't have been without the help of Liz and Jordan. Choosing GF for our wedding venue was one of the best choices we made during our planning. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue with an exceptional staff with a small-town feel, then GF is the place for you. Once you meet with Liz and tour the grounds, you'll realize there isn't a better venue around. Thank You so much Liz and GF for the absolutely amazing wedding day!

We had our wedding reception at Groveland Fairways on May 31st 2014. I am so glad we chose this place! The event coordinator, Liz is a dream to work with! She answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable, professional, accommodating and fun to work with. She made the process so easy and was very helpful via email, phone and in person. We knew Groveland was our venue the moment we walked in. It is beautiful, modern and updated. They just expanded the patio with a fireplace and gardens out back so you get to use both indoor and outdoor space. We had our cocktail hour outside on the patio and guests loved it. I got a lot of compliments on the venue. I am sad that its over, and i hope we get to go back to Groveland Fairways for events in the future! We have no complaints, and i can't say enough good things about Liz!

I just had my wedding here this passed weekend and I have to say it was the best!! I have been planning this wedding for a year and a half, and the coordinator, Liz Croteau was so helpful and encouraging through out the whole process. The venue is gorgeous. We had our cocktail hour in the fireside room, but when people walked in they were greeted by a beautiful foyer, besides the wrap around porch, the foyer is one of my favorite features.
Liz was so accommodating and I truly believe they went above and beyond. I don't think any other venues would do what they did and I can't thank them enough.
I would most definitely recommend this place for brides on a budget like myself, who want a beautiful and PRIVATE wedding (another favorite feature of mine being that they only have 1 function room meaning you don't have to share your day with other functions).
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!!!!

I cannot say enough about Groveland fairways and Liz. Prior to choosing Groveland Fairways, I visited multiple venue's and the outcome was always the same. The price was too high and the venue was outdated and in poor condition. When I walked into Groveland I immediately knew it was the venue for me. Groveland is absolutely beautiful and kept in immaculate condition. Not to mention they are always looking for ways to update and improve! Pricing is great and extremely affordable! Throughout planning, Liz was very organized and always went above and beyond to make sure my special day would be perfect, and it really was! My wedding was amazing, I have absolutely no complaints and I would recommend Liz and Groveland Fairways to all brides looking for the perfect venue for any time of the year! :)

This place is a total hidden gem! Not a lot of people had heard of it when they asked where I was getting married but I was approached several times after the wedding and told how amazing it was. Totally true, the venue is absolutely GORGEOUS. Pictures do not do it justice, just make an appointment to see it in person! The wedding coordinator, Liz and her assistant Jordan are phenomenal! My wedding went off without a hitch and its all thanks to them. We also found all of our vendors through Groveland Fairways & Liz's recommendations and we couldn't be happier with all of them.

UK princes turn traders for Sept 11 charity day
LONDON (AP) - British princes William and Harry have turned temporary stock traders, participating in a charity event to honor victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
Assisted by professional traders, the royals took to the phones for an hour Wednesday to broker deals, including one valued at 25 billion euros ($33 billion).
They also found time to joke around. Harry accused his older brother, the father of 2-month-old Prince George, of indulging in "baby chat" rather than sealing the deal.
Pilot William conceded: "I'm much better at helicopters."
The event was run by BGC Partners, which lost 658 employees in the 2001 terror attacks on the United States.
Other celebrities helping out on the trading floor Wednesday included Rod Stewart and "Mandela" actor Idris Elba.

The Haier Pulse's promising showing on the court in the first six rounds of the ANZ Championship is being backed by a superb performance off the court, with attendances and memberships at an all-time high. Three of the first four home games have sold out and the average home crowd has risen from 1,445 in 2011 to an impressive 2,341 so far in 2012. The sold-out signs for the next home fixture against the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic went up a full two weeks prior to the game, whilst memberships have risen rapidly from 144 last year to the current figure of 320.
Haier Pulse Acting Chairman, Ian Collier, is delighted with the strength of support for the team and hopes this will help to bring some financial stability for the future. "There is no doubt that interest and support of the Haier Pulse has increased which is fantastic and very pleasing to see," he explained. "This year we have been very conscious of involving the entire region that the Haier Pulse represents and the support for the games in Napier and Palmerston North shows that it is working. As many people know, it is very challenging to operate a sports franchise profitably, particularly on a sustainable basis. Sell-out crowds will definitely help us deliver an improved financial result this season."
Collier firmly believes that the size and enthusiasm of the home crowds have been a major factor in the team's performances so far this year. "There is nothing like the atmosphere you get in a full stadium and it is great to see how the team have responded to the fantastic support they are getting. Potential commercial partners will be pleased with what they are seeing and I am sure that most people will agree that the team are delivering on their promise to be stronger, better and faster."
Head Coach Robyn Broughton agrees that the support is crucial to the team's success. "Vocal home crowds lift the team. In my experience, it's a huge lift and I've seen how crowds can win titles. It's exciting and the girls thrive on it as they're made to feel like stars out there. When Jols got that interception against the Mystics, the crowd just erupted. It's wonderful to think that there's so many people behind them."
Broughton has also ensured that the players have kept their feet firmly on the ground, with the team making a large number of public appearances throughout the Haier Pulse's region. "We have spent a good deal of time meeting the fans and coaching young players this year," she said "All of that makes us accessible and I think the girls have done a good job in that respect. From my point of view, I always make myself available and the girls should always make sure that they are available too, as best they can without it becoming overwhelming. I do think it's nice that there are familiar faces who come down after the games and say that they really enjoyed the fact that the girls are trying so hard. It's a boost for me as a coach as well – coaches need a bit of reinforcement, just as much as the players do."
As Collier is keen to point out, it's very much a two-way street, with the fans desperate to show their support and the players keen to give them the recognition they deserve for that. "There is something very special about our fans as they have been and continue to be incredibly loyal," he said. "We are totally committed to making the team accessible to their fans, whilst respecting the need to allow the players to concentrate on their training and performance on court. It's important to get that balance right. The players and coaches have been fantastic to work with and the feedback from fans and our sponsors has been very positive."
The next assignment for the Haier Pulse is a home game against the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic on Monday 14th May at Te Rauparaha Arena, Porirua, and this fixture is a complete sell-out.
Supporters looking to buy tickets for the Haier Pulse v Adelaide Thunderbirds game on 21st May at the TSB Arena, Wellington, are urged to book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available from www.ticketek.co.nz or by ringing 0800 TICKETEK (0800 842538).
As an added bonus, all Haier Pulse fans have the chance to watch the Thunderbirds game in style, with four premium seating tickets up for grabs in an exclusive Facebook competition. To enter, simply log on to www.facebook.com/Haier.Pulse, like the page and give a reason why you should be the lucky winner and you and your friends could have premium seats at the TSB Arena on 21st May.

I remember when Janna was called the queen of CC bot lane, but it sure doesn't look like it anymore. (Thanks Morello).
Blitzcrank with the dumbest zoning potential has more cc than Janna.
And what happened to Janna? She isn't picked anymore because she was "too strong" and got nerfed to the ground.
Something needs to be done about Blitzcrank.
Its not just Blitzcrank who is stronger than Janna in terms of CC. Look at Zyra and Leona
I thought this thread was gonna be about Ez or Taric.
First off, Blitzcrank is a robot without gender.
Second, let's say he is "male"...why would you continue you to call him a "Queen" of anything and not the "King"?
Third, only male that can be called Queen is Taric.
Fourth, Riot pls do something about Blitzcrank.
Silent Hero
Zyra and Leona are much better now. Janna and Blitz are both outdated.
blitz is an asian schoolgirl
Janna is still a CC monster, but has fallen out of favor because like someone else pointed out, her CC's are defensive in nature. The meta right now for everyone but CLG.EU is all about aggression and pressure and thats not Janna's strength.

GALVESTON, Texas – The remains of the only U.S. Navy ship sunk in the Gulf of Mexico during Civil War combat now can be seen in 3-D sonar images from the Gulf's murky depths, revealing details such as a shell hole that may have been among the ship's fatal wounds.
The high-resolution images of the 210-foot, iron-hulled USS Hatteras are being released this month to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the battle where the ship was lost. Besides the shell hole, they also show a paddle wheel and the ship's stern and rudder emerging from the shifting undersea sands 20 miles off the coast of Galveston.
This vessel is a practically intact time capsule sealed by mud and sand, and what is there will be the things that help bring the crew and ship to life in a way, said Jim Delgado, the project's leader and director of maritime heritage for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.
The Hatteras sat mostly undisturbed and unnoticed from January 1863 – when a Confederate raider sunk the ship and took most of the crew prisoner – until its discovery in the early 1970s.
Recent storms shifted the sand and mud where the Hatteras rests 57 feet below the surface, exposing more of the ship. So archaeologists and technicians, racing to beat any potential seabed movement that could conceal the Hatteras again, spent two days last September scanning the wreckage using sonar imaging technology for the first time at sea.
Divers used the 3-D gear to map the site in the silt-filled water where visibility is from near zero to only a few feet. The water's murkiness doesn't affect sonar technology as it would regular photography equipment. Sonar technology produces computer-colored images by analyzing sound waves bouncing off objects.
Also revealed were platforms for the ship's 32-pounder guns, named for the size of the cast-iron shell the cannon delivered, and the bow.
Very exciting, said Jami Durham, manager of historic properties, research and special programs for the Galveston Historical Foundation. We knew the ship was out there and to finally see the images. It seemed to make it more real.

Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys hailed the recruitment at his new club and believes there is "huge potential" at Kingsholm.
Humphreys, who made a shock move from Ulster this off-season, joins Laurie Fisher, Nick Walshe and John Muggleton in a new back-room team.
Also arriving at the Cherry and Whites is James Hook, Richard Hibbard, John Afoa, Tom Palmer, Mariano Galarza, Aleki Lutui and Greig Laidlaw.
"Huge credit to Nigel and [chief executive] Steve Vaughan in terms of the squad that they've put together," Humphreys told BBC Points West.
"I think when you look at the players that have been brought in, the Gloucester squad now is a squad with huge potential and some top quality international players.
"I think when you add that to the mix of coaches that are coming in and the quality that they've had at different levels I hope it will be a good mix."
Humphreys added: "The biggest challenge for us all is expectation."
"Not just the expectation amongst the players, who are very ambitious and want to be successful, not just amongst the coaching team, but also among the wider supporters and the club.
"History has shown it is very, very difficult to put together a team that can immediately win. History has shown it takes time to build a team and get to know the players."
