Brittany & Andy's session started off in a bean field behind their house on a beautiful fall day and we ended up at the home of the Detroit Tigers: Commerica Park in Detroit, MI for their baseball stadium engagement session.

Love Wins!!!! Marriage Equality is in North Carolina
Shaheera & Shoaib had a 2 day Indian Wedding in June. Day one was a Henna Party at the American Polish Cultural Center in Troy, MI. What amazing colors!! I have never seen anything like this! I think more weddings should be this bright & colorful! There were many rituals and dancing and of course a henna party, all of which was very relaxed. Day two's wedding reception was at Crystal Gardens in Southgate, MI. This was extremely formal and very ceremonial… and BEAUTIFUL!!! Shaheera and Shoaib wanted their formal bride and groom portraits taken at the GM Renissance Center in Detroit, MI so we went there before the reception & ceremony at Crystal Gardens. Unlike most weddings I have photographed, this one was an arranged marriage by their families. Both of them are very proud of their culture and are very much in love. My wish for them is continued love, prosperity and a lot of adorable babies!

Enjoy their amazing wedding photos!
David & Erin are awesome!!! They are the sweetest couple I have ever met, they came to my parents funeral for support before they even booked me as their photographer. Who does that? Super awesome people, that's who! David & Erin had such a unique wedding and I was excited when they asked me to document it! They were married at The Toledo Zoo in the Arctic Encounter Exhibit: the polar bears & seals were on the guest list along with 50 close friends and family. I LOVE small weddings!!! Don't get me wrong: big weddings are super fun but small weddings are waaay more intimate & relaxed. This was the perfect wedding to start out my wedding season. David is a Graphic Designer: he designed the uber cool invites! I love how the green is carried through Erin's bouquet! Erin is a college professor in English and they wrote their own vows. Davids vows made everyone cry because they were so beautifully written!!! AMAZING is all I can say! They are a blended family and beautifully blended they are! Much love to them as they continue on their journey of life. All of their wedding pictures can be viewed here: David & Erin's wedding photos
Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy

I had been blessed with amazing clients this year and some pretty AMAZING weddings so far! This is one of them: Micha & Nikki were married at Crosspoint Christian Church in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI. They had such a beautiful day for a wedding!!! Nikki & Micha had their bridal party & formal portrait session at the Wolcott Mill in Ray, MI. This place was more gorgeous than I thought, and we had a lot of fun here as well. Nikki's friend has a De Soto Sedan and he drove them around in it for their wedding… what a cool ride!!! To top off their uber beautiful wedding, the reception was held at a barn at the Laren Andrus Octogon House in Washington, MI. Wow!!!! They had the best of both worlds = rustic barn with vintage flair – a prefect combo. We were able to go inside the Octogon House and take some formal portraits in the spiral staircase.
Flowers & decorations – Nikki did them herself
Make Up – Shuston Vincent
DJ – Pro DJ Services – Jessie was SO FUN!!!
Enjoy their wedding photos!
I have a new outlook on life… I'm sure you already read my last post "what a long strange trip it's been" and thought "wowzas!" to yourself. My thought process "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and "my tears and stepping stones for the future". I am truly blessed to have an AMAZING husband, son and circle of friends – you are all my rocks and I couldn't have made it through that crazy storm without you!!! Through all my hardships I was able to reconnect with an old dear friend that has 2 boys my son's age – pretty cool!!! And then we took on an amazing family vacation to St. Thomas. While we were there we didn't go anywhere – just chilled out: snorkeled, floated, built sandcastles, ate amazing food and made some awesome new friends. Keep your fingers crossed for me: I am speaking with the wedding coordinator in St. Thomas!!!!
Now that we are back and wedding season is in full swing I wanted to take a step back and re-live our St. Thomas experience.
I am thankful for all my beautiful and wonderful clients! I feel extremely grateful for the most beautiful weddings I have ever photographed this season. Seriously! I am SUPER EXCITED to have all of them on my blog by the end of this summer!!!
Here are some images I was able to capture in St. Thomas. Enjoy!

Jennifer & Micah had their engagement session at the Detroit Public Library last winter. It was a fun afternoon getting to know them better and hearing all about their big day (coming this weekend!!!) Here are some cute shots we took – enjoy!

Super CUTE wedding invitation designed by the groom, David Cox for their wedding last month at The Toledo Zoo. I just love how the bright green color carries over into the lily bud!
I feel like I need to write this in order to get it all out…. in the summer of 2012 my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer – 2 weeks after she FINALLY quit smoking on her own – it figures! You see, my Babcia (yes I am Polish died from lung cancer and my Dzia Dzia died from lung cancer, so her fate wasn't too far from theirs. Mom wanted her treatments at St. Anne's hospital in Toledo, I'm guessing because it was close to their home and is considered a "cancer hospital". When she was initially admitted, my 2.5 year old son was wearing sandals and playing in her hospital room "entertaining us", I looked down on the floor and 1 inch away from his foot was a dirty needle!!! OMG I had a TOTAL conniption! I was SO freaked out that I was shaking!!! This how my nightmare started……………
So, we were dealing with chemo therapy sessions, educating ourselves on alternative medicines and all the other cancer terms. My dad was always a control freak, bi-polar, an alcoholic with a history of police reports of domestic disputes. But honestly, he wasn't that all bad, 80% of the time he wasn't bad to deal with – but he had his moments!! He was also a good man and a good provider. My mom was such a forgiving person (an enabling) and she always took him back and took care of him – no matter what he did. She had her own way of making him realize what he did and made him pay for it her own way. My dad got really weird with her cancer – lots of highs and lows = total bi polar! He was super loving one month and another month he refused to take her to her treatments, hid her purse, hid her pain meds and accused her of all sorts of craziness! Knowing this, I freaked! I tried to get mom to move in with us so she could get proper care and a loving & healing environment but she wouldn't leave him… summer went away and winter came and my dad chilled out and "came back to normal" and got back on track.
Everything was going well….. chemo treatments seemed to be taking care of the 3 tumors Mom had and prognosis was good. Mom felt good as well
The next spring, we (my husband Brian and my son Joe – now age 3) were at my parents house. It was Mothers Day, Mom and Joe were feeding the ducks at the creek that runs behind their house. Joe came running up to the house saying that "Babcia fell in the creek". When we got to her, she was face down in the mud but able to breathe – thank God! She apparently slipped with her flat shoe and took a dive. When we tried to get her up and on her feet, she seemed off. We got her in the house, I got her cleaned up and made sure she was okay. She was pretty embarrassed but grateful and assured me that she was okay. A week later I was shooting a wedding, so Brian was home with Joe. My parents always stopped by to visit, they came by that day when I was working. Brian loved it because he had baby sitters and entertainment for Joe Brian told me that my mom fell in Joe's room that day – she didn't trip on a toy – she fell!!! He said her feet wouldn't move and she was dead weight. Apparently my dad didn't want to call an ambulance. I called her the next day as soon as I found out and she seemed fine and said she was tired. The following week, Mom fell down the stairs and had to go to the hospital in an ambulance. My dad was living in denial at this point and was accusing her of "pill popping".
That week was my 40th birthday and I was looking at all my accomplishments and setting future goals, I was not expecting a gift from the devil that year. Happy 40th Birthday – your mom has brain cancer!!!! I was with her everyday at the hospital – just hanging out and cuddling, sometimes I would have Joe and sometimes I would go by myself. She had to undergo aggressive radiation treatments and my father went off on the deep end. I never saw him SO manic, paranoid, controlling and down right mean for NO reason. It was the worst year of my life, so far!!! It was the worst year of my mom's life for sure!!! Yet, she still wouldn't leave him to come live with us. I had to learn the game of the mentally ill and how the law protects them. I tried to have him attack me and have him arrested – so I could declare him incompetent. He wasn't stupid and knew EXACTLY what I was doing. He stole a lot of money from Mom's bank account abusing his Power of Attorney rights. It made me sick to my stomach! He threatened our family, close friends, he even poured Round-Up on their neighbors 50 year old grapes just because he could. He cornered a realtor in an empty house and gave her a good scare and yet no one did anything – didn't even call the cops – so he got away with whatever he wanted! It was hell and my mom lived it and she never left him! I didn't care what rumors & lies he was spreading about me. I knew I was a good person, I live by a good moral code and that anyone that knows me wouldn't believe a word he said about me. And honestly, he made himself look bad! Anyone with half a brain could see he wasn't all together there mentally. I remember when I would come to visit her, she would tell him to leave their house since it was her's too because she wanted to visit with me. Nice, huh? That fall, she let me split all her hosta plants and I created a garden in front of my studio with them. I'm excited to see it this year for the 1st time and I will forever cherish it!!!
At this point, my moms cancer treatments were taking a major toll on her – obviously! Not just the cancer, but the mental abuse and overall nastiness she endured. My heart broke daily for her. She slept a lot and her appetite was way down. Her throat was burned from the radiation and could barely swallow water let alone eat anything – she grew weaker. It was now Thanksgiving and we had it at our house because of the amount of work involved. Mom was grateful she didn't have to cook but insisted she bring a dish She brought my dad and no one said anything to him – it was SO awkward! I did give him a hug though, but I wasn't prepared for "a conversation" with him. I had a lot to process and to forgive… I came to realize he was as sick as she was, just in a different way. He looked SO un-put-together – (is that a word???) My dad ALWAYS dressed well, not this time, not this winter. His depression took a toll on him. Christmas came and my mom INSISTED of having Christmas Eve dinner at their house – she didn't want me to cook at all. My dad tried to apologize for his behavior for last summer but I still wasn't prepared for that conversation and I definitely didn't want to deal with it on Christmas (especially my mom's last Christmas). I made the most of that Christmas with my mom – the best I could….
That January, Mom was back in the hospital. She fell down again, but this time she was stuck in between shelves for about 4 hours before my dad found her. Mom was an insomniac (this is where I get it from, I know this!) and went in the basement to do some laundry (might as well be useful at 3am, right?) my dad didn't find her until he got up. An ambulance came and admitted her at St. Anne's. This time I was prepared – or I thought I was! I was going to play the social worker/hospital game and get my mom away from my dad once and for all.. and give her proper care!!! While she was at the hospital taking all kinds of tests, she was eating like she never ate before. I was so glad her appetite was back! They admitted her for closer observation, I had lots of talks with her cancer doctors, family doctor and no one knew a thing! It was So frustrating!!!! At this point, I was prepared for that much needed conversation with my dad. I laid my heart out for him, told him I love him, told him I hated him for what he did to us & mom last summer. I also told him that I will do anything for them and I want to be part of the decision making process because I want what's best for Mom. At that moment, I understood what true forgiveness was. Mom's doctors said she needed a surgery to drain fluid from her brain and she needed to be in a nursing home afterward. A few days later they came to the conclusion that she was terminal and they were not going to seek any more treatments because of her quality of life would be compromised. My dad fell apart BIGTIME!!! I mean to the point that he made it all about him: "Poor Me" syndrome. At this point, my dad had a nursing home lined up for her – over my dead body was my mother going to a nursing home to die – she deserved the best! We invited her to live with us and she accepted Hospice came to our home and helped care for Mom.
Then the snow came….. and it snowed… and it snowed.. and it was beautiful! It was SO nice to drink coffee together in the morning and we enjoyed each others company watching the beautiful snow! Mom soon realized that I am not the type to just sit down all day. I'm a worker: I make sure my family eats 3 home cooked (not processed food) meals a day, along with laundry, house stuff, a business to run and raising a 4 year old little boy. The fact that I don't sit down until after the dinner dishes are done, drove her crazy! She understood, even though she forgot how much work it is to raise a family – she taught me well!!! My dad would come by for a visit and complain how bad the roads were, but at least he came and made an effort to be with his wife – even with his depression! My Ciocia (aunt) from New Jersey came to visit my mom for a week, my dad stayed away during this time. My Ciocia endured a lot of my dad's antics last summer and was not kind to seeing him – and he knew it! So, he laid low, Mom didn't even want to call him while she was with us – I think she just wanted Peace. While mom was with us (especially the week my Ciocia was here) Mom declined every day – God took something from her daily – balance, speech, you name it, every day was something else she lost. Mom was in a hospital bed in our living room by the end of the week when her sister's visit was over. Every day she declined, her nutrition was good though – which kept her from getting bed sores. Her skin was awesome looking – even the nurses from Hospice would comment on how beautiful her skin was Hagan Daas White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle ice cream was a favorite of Mom's and I made sure she had it often
Valentines Day came and we ate steaks on the grill for dinner and we didn't hear from my dad. I remember thinking "I can't believe he didn't call her on Valentines Day". Well, there was a reason for this…. Their neighbor called me that Saturday and said there was police all over their house………. I flew there (literally, I think I was doing 90 mph down Secor Rd) I found out about his suicide when I got there and the detective told me. Whoa!!!! I know this is all screwed up, but honestly I was relieved, and sad and angry but mostly relieved! He couldn't hurt anyone anymore and I didn't have to worry about him hurting Mom anymore. Is that messed up or what??? In my heart, I know if she was with him at this time he would have taken her life 1st. I am grateful I had the sense to get her away from him!!!
Mom declined and declined and declined. It got to the point that I had Spa Radio on Pandora Radio on for her, so her transition would be beautiful and she would be comfortable. She would not let go. I remember my dog barking at the back door every 10 minutes the Friday before she passed away. Super freaky, because no one was there but Sugar was in "protection mode" and she never left Mom's side!!! That Saturday, her good friend came to sit with her all day and then I stayed up with her all night until 5:30 am. I finally went to bed because my most comfortable couch in the world wasn't comfortable and I needed to lay down. Brian woke me up at 8:30 am and said she passed away.
I have a brother, I'm the responsible one and that's okay. Well, he attacked me in front of some ladies after the funeral and that's not okay. He is also bipolar and he self medicates – not a good combo! I don't want to detail why he went crazy on me – it's not important and is extremely petty. Something I wish to forget (and forgive) in time. During this horrible time, Brian's dad (My father in-law) went in for emergency surgery in Naples, FL. He made it through the surgery, Brian's sisters went down to Naples to be with him – thank God! He never progressed from the surgery, it was as if the grim reaper found him! Our world was crumbling all around. So, I thought 2013 was the worst year of my life – 2014 by far takes the cake of THE WORST YEAR EVER!
Something good HAS GOT to come from all of this, right??? Stay tuned to see what happens next!
thanks for letting me get this all out – I feel better!

What an emotional and harrowing story…I only knew about all the deaths you had to endure recently, but hearing about the background issues makes me so sad for you. I don't believe in "luck," but having Brian and Joe hopefully provide more than enough light to get you through all the darkness. You are a mighty strong woman, and I'm so proud to call you 'friend.' Sandy
Yvonne, I am sitting here reading your story and I am seeing you in all this. I don't know what happens next, but Lord knows it MUST be something BETTER. Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone, like you said, it helps to get it out there. Whew. I'm your cheerleader sweetie, that's for sure! Sending you a very warm hug….and hoping you can feel it.
Love, Hugs and friendship!! I am here anytime you want to talk, vent or cry.. and I am usually up late! I am so very sorry for your losses, what a yucky year!
You are loved!

3 Biotech Stocks Under $10 Surging Higher
Pluristem Therapeutics
Pluristem Therapeutics (PSTI) is a bio-therapeutics company engaged in the commercialization of non-personalized (allogeneic) cell therapy products for the treatment of several severe degenerative, ischemic and autoimmune disorders. This stock is trading up 12.3% at $4.00 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $3.75-$4.2052-Week Range: $1.98-$4.23 Volume: 2.4 million Three-Month Average Volume: 531,278 >>7 Stocks Soaring on Heavy Volume From a technical perspective, PSTI is gapping up sharply here right off some near-term support at $3.51 with heavy volume. This move is quickly pushing PSTI within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will trigger once PSTI takes out some key overhead resistance at $4.23 to $4.38 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in PSTI as long as this stock is trending above $3.50, and then once it clears $4.23 to $4.38 with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that's near or above 531,278 shares. If that major breakout triggers soon, then PSTI has a chance to head well north of $5 in the near future.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Sophia ($75 off)!
Facts about Sophia ($75 off)
- Breed: Dachshund Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Sophia ($75 off)'s Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sophia is a one year old Dachshund / Chihuahua mix. She weighs 12 pounds. She is a super sweet and mellow little dog. She gets along with other dogs and cats. She is very affectionate and seems to be very calm for her age. She was rescued from a kill shelter, and is ready to find a family of her own. (TIA)
If you would like more information or an application to adopt this dog you MUST paste the following link into your browser. http://www.poochesonthemove.net/shaggy-dog-rescue.html It will answer most of your questions and you can access an application from there. Thanks!
Other Pets at Pooches & Purrs Cooperative - NY/NJ
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sophia ($75 off), a Spring Valley Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Spring Valley, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Spring Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Spring Valley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Spring Valley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Spring Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Carolina Actors Studio Theatre (CAST) has truly blessed Charlotte by casting three outstanding actresses in its powerful new production, "Agnes of God."
Cynthia Farbman Harris, as Dr. Martha Livingstone, Paula Baldwin as Mother Superior Miriam Ruth and Lauren Dortch Crozier as Sister Agnes all give superb performances in this deeply charged play. They are all emotionally wrung out by the time the curtain call arrives, and for good reason.
Written by John Pielmeier, this 1979 work is loosely based on a true story. A baby has been found, wrapped in a bloody sheet and stuffed in a wastepaper basket, in the room of Sister Agnes. She may or may not have given birth to and/or killed the baby.
Dr. Livingston is the court-appointed psychiatrist whose job it is to evaluate Agnes' sanity. Livingston goes far and above her job description as she tries to burrow into the psyches of both Agnes and Mother Superior in determining what happened and who is responsible. Harris, as Livingston, manages to seamlessly and poignantly transform from hard-nosed atheist shrink into a curious, faith-searching healer who clings to her own set of beliefs just as strongly as the nuns.
Agnes has no memory of the birth or death of the child. When we first meet her, she seems possessed of a beatific joy, as if she hears lovely harmonies to which the rest of us are deaf. Crozier exudes a quiet innocence and goodwill, making her eventual display of extreme emotion even more heartbreaking. Baldwin, as her fierce protector, Mother Superior, is wonderfully complex, suggesting a strength and solidity that's miles from stereotype.
Watching the devastation of Crozier as she relives, under hypnosis, the agonizing birth of her impossible baby, seeing the dual forces of Harris and Baldwin swing away at each other like two battered prizefighters who want the opponent destroyed, we're made spectators not only of a suspenseful play, but also of fundamental antagonisms that run deep beneath our culture. This is a work about primary things: theism vs. atheism; miracles vs. cynicism; parents who, contrary to all love and logic, brutalize their children; and about innocence being truly lost.
CAST's tradition of total immersion begins as you enter the building, with box office workers dressed as nuns and ushers dressed as priests. The show is being presented in CAST's 56-seat theater in the round, making for a very intimate experience. Michael Simmons' direction is seamless and well-modulated for the space. The effective, minimalist set by Tim Baxter-Ferguson includes a flower painted on the floor with a Rorschach inkblot in the center surrounded by petals depicting various scientific symbols (infinity, DNA, the Darwin fish).
Dr. Livingston has the final gasp, the final words, pondering life and death and Agnes' reminder that "God doesn't make mistakes." Ultimately, the mystery of who killed the baby, and who the father is, are of no importance; what matters is that life can still hold the possibility of miracles.

Each dog must be vaccinated, free from parasites, and spayed or neutered if seven months of age or older. If your pooch is a certified chubby cheeker, bring a bag of food and the staff will gladly feed the dog lunch. If Fido comes home and says he had a blast at daycare, surprise him with a birthday or holiday party (not included in the cost of today's Groupon) with all of his friends.
Cahaba Beach Dog Park describes itself as "canine heaven," and it might be right. The 4-acre off-leash dog park includes tunnels, streams, trails, and open space for dogs to play with their owners or doggy pals—all of which require temperament evaluation and up-to-date vaccines to enter. There are also separate areas for different-sized dogs and an amphitheater for special events. Additionally, the park provides doggy daycare and boarding services, which include a suite decked out with a memory-foam mattress, television, and webcam, as well as a choice of spa services. Cahaba Beach Dog Park even offers grooming and training. And for your dog's special day, the park hosts dog parties, complete with custom dog cakes or dog goodie bags.
When they aren't being scrubbed or trimmed, the pups at Baths Barks and Bubbles Pet Spa romp and play together in the spa's fenced-in yard, instead of anxiously waiting confined in a cage or pet carrier. Owner Kymberly Dye and stylists Jennifer Hollis and Christy Thomas conduct doggy temperament tests with every appointment to determine whether canines would be more comfortable cavorting with the other pups or lounging in one of the spacious housing areas. The team's passion for every dog's well-being extends to their spa services, which include teeth cleanings, baths, and haircuts that leave fur as neatly trimmed as Danny DeVito's in his crowning role as Air Bud. In addition to standard grooming, they pamper furry companions with creative grooming, safely complementing coats with vibrant colors and stripes.
The caring, professional sitters at Fetch! Pet Care of Birmingham keep tails wagging with a variety of services for pets. After complimentary in-home consultations, they expertly watch animals with services that range from in-home play and private walks to pet transportation, pill administration, in-home overnight sitting, and emergency unlock services for owners. The team is bonded and insured, and all services come with a money-back satisfaction guarantee.
Snaggle Foot Dog Walks and Pet Care's owner Karen Gambrell has a long history of adopting homeless critters and pours that same sense of compassion into all of the company's services. Custom house calls keep animal companions comfortable and stress-free in a quiet and familiar environment, unlike kennels located next door to maraca factories. The team of caretakers—all trained in pet CPR and first aid—values belly rubs and squeaky-toy tossing that delight furry friends during visits. As a bonded and insured member of Pet Sitters International, Snaggle Foot enables anxiety-free vacations for pet owners and helps with routine upkeep in households.
Dogs have 10,000 square feet of space to fetch, run, and play in when staying in Roverchase's gigantic indoor play area. Owners drop off furry companions for a half-day, full-day, or hourly session, giving pets a chance to cavort with other dogs that have undergone the mandatory temperament evaluation. Roverchase provides overnight boarding as well, in cage-free rooms equipped with Kuranda beds and plush blankets. All overnight guests can play in the indoor play area during the day before returning to their luxurious accommodations.

|Since many of you have experienced ice storms this year (as occurred in my location), and with the arrival of the spring/summer storm season, the link below seems appropriate.
This is restoration pruning guide created at the University of Florida. It was created with hurricanes in mind, but should apply equally as well to ice/snow/and wind damage, as that damage is similar. Hope this helps some of you.

|Thank you Arktrees! I'm sure some yards LOOK like they've been through a hurricane and it is different than just normal pruning since there are trees with a good portion of their crowns missing, split limbs, etc.
Welcome to the Ozarks forum.
Did you lose any trees in your yard?
Here is a link that might be useful: Restoring trees after a hurricane
|My original message in this forum is a copy and paste of a message that I posted in the "Trees" forum. Someone suggested that it be posted here, and I had not though of that, so I did. Anyway hopefully it will help save a mature tree or two that would otherwise be lost.
We personally lost no trees as they are all young and in the ground for a couple years, therefore small and had little to no damage. The worst of it was a blackgum that has been in the ground for a few months. It was bent to the ground about 24" above soil line, but it has since stood back up, with a mild lean (it has been staked for this year to try to help correct).
I'm near Fayetteville, and in Fayetteville it is nasty, and I know it was worse elsewhere. I know people who have totally lost multiple large mature trees. There are old sugar maples around where I work that are basically trunks with stubs of limbs 6-7 feet, and birch/willows are just shattered toothpicks. Trees that have not experienced an ice storm like that, or they would not have grown in the form that they did. Fayetteville is at around 1200+ feet elevation, and since the cold air is very shallow during an ice storm, often project up through to air just warm enough to save the area from the storms have have occurred nearby in recent years. But not this time. We were lucky in that our temperature rose to 32F for 4-5 hours during the day during heavy rain. This did not allow melting, but did basically stop accumulation during that time. There was still severe damage. Nothing like stepping out at night with no power and hearing large limbs, and trunks fracturing around you about every 15-20 seconds or so, it's not something I'll soon forget.However 3-4 miles one direction and there is relatively little damage, and 1-2 miles the other way is even worse destruction. I just look around and wonder how and if many will recover. It's rather depressing.
Hopefully some good will come to those affected.
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 15, 09 at 8:28
|I noticed my young trees fared pretty well too. We have a bur oak about 8 to 10 feet tall that didn't have any broken limbs. There's a huge oak down the road that I'm sure is a bur oak and it lost some very large limbs. It was such a beautiful tree and very old. It had such a nice shape and I don't think it will ever look that good again. It's in a field that isn't maintained so no trimming was done. It still has hanging limbs. Very sad.

ThermoGenesis Announces Sale Of Thermoline Product Line To Helmer Scientific
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., Jan. 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ThermoGenesis Corp. (Nasdaq:KOOL), a leading supplier of enabling technologies for the processing, storage and administration of cell therapies, today said it has sold its ThermoLine plasma freezer and thawer product line to Helmer Scientific for an undisclosed sum of cash. ThermoGenesis received the payment during the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
"As was the case with our divestiture of the CryoSeal product line in mid-2012, this transaction is part of our long-term strategy to focus on our core business of developing enabling technologies for the stem cell regenerative medicine market," said Matthew Plavan, Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis.
"The proceeds from this transaction will be used to fund market development programs for our cord blood and bone marrow stem cell processing and storage offerings.

Skydiver cancels 2nd try at supersonic jump in NM
ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — Blame it on the wind. Again.
For the second straight day, extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner aborted his planned death-defying 23-mile free fall because of the weather, postponing his quest to become the world's first supersonic skydiver until at least Thursday.
As he sat Tuesday morning in the pressurized capsule waiting for a 55-story, ultra-thin helium balloon to fill and carry him into the stratosphere, a 25 mph gust rushed across a field near the airport in Roswell, N.M.
The wind rushed so fast that it spun the still-inflating balloon as if it was a giant plastic grocery bag, raising concerns at Login to read more

Giro d'Italia Stage 11: Porte in pink as huge breakaway causes seismic shift in GC
Overall contenders Vinokourov and Evans caught out as break gets home with 13-minute advantage
The general classification was sensationally turned on its head in the Giro d'Italia today as Richie Porte of Team Saxo Bank took the race leader's maglia rosa from Alexandre Vinokourov after getting into a 56 man escape group that headed off the front of the peloton 20km into the day's stage.
On a cold, wet day that is sure to rank among the most dramatic in the Giro's 101-year history, today's 262km stage, the longest in this year's 93rd edition, took the race from Lucera to L'Aquila, the city in central Italy struck by an earthquake a little over a year ago, Team Katusha's Evgeni Petrov claiming victory with an attack inside the final kilometre.
But the big news was the seismic shift in the general classification, with Vinokourov and second-placed Cadel Evans, as well as Liquigas riders Ivan Basso and Vincenzo Nibali, taking a massive, perhaps fatal, blow to their hopes of topping the podium in Verona a week on Sunday, while Cervelo TestTeam's Carlos Sastre, who crossed the line third, and Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins, fourth, headed back towards the top of the overall standings.
But besides Porte, the two big winners today in general classification terms were David Arroyo of Caisse d'Epargne, 1 minute 42 seconds down on the Australian, and the Croation Robert Kiserlovski of Liquigas Doimo, a further 14 seconds back. Cervelo TestTeam's Xavier Tondo is fourth, 3 minutes 54 seconds behind Porte.
There are conflicting views about quite how a number of maglia rosa contenders – not to mention the jersey's wearer himself – got caught out so badly by a breakaway that besides Porte contained a number of riders whose chances of a podium finish seemed to have disappeared.
One is that there was a delay in the race organisers reporting back to the main peloton the details of the escape group, meaning that it was too late for them to react. Another is that poor weather made radio communication difficult, so the composition of the escape group was not known until it was well down the road. A third is that as the rain came down early in the stage, the main peloton sat up to sort out their capes and arm warmers, heedless of the escapees speeding off ahead.
Whatever happened, the fact is that even with 200km left to run, the escape group had built a lead of a quarter of an hour over the peloton and it was clear that not only did it contain some big names, but also that it wasn't going to get caught. In the end, the main group including Vinokourov and Evans trailed in almost 13 minutes down, leaving a general classification that looks very, very different to how it looked this morning.Giro d'Italia Stage 11 Lucera-L'Aquila

the weather was horrendous, i was standing freezing just after the climb out of Popoli at the 45km to go sign and the massive thunder and lighting storm, hailstones and cold wind kept the carabinieri, me being the only spectator, in their fiat panda rather than controlling the junction i parked up at...
but some stage.... i imagine there is lots more excitement to come...the italians are not happy that an italian has not won a stage yet..they don't count the TTT...
its a bit of an aussie giro this year..
the last guys of the race chasing the the bus were using vehicles to pace themselves, probably getting back after punctures or dropped on the climb, 2 cervelo guys well tucked in behind their team service car and a cofidis guy using an ambulance...
182 started today and the gazzetta website has only credited 171 as finishing...Robbie McEwan last place...

@Decster, thanks for report, confirms my decision to return to my "Bolt hole" in Austria after being "skittled" before arrival in Novi Liguri. On bike today for "Ride of Silence" but still too painful for hard riding! Want to be in Cesenatico because of "Marco" but need to do better in tomorrow's training rides!
11 previous Giro's with occasional nasty day but this year is ridiculously cold and miserable for visitors let alone riders/racers.
Even austria has snow down to 750m & i live at 600m glad i have the rower to train on when outdoors is crap.
Dolomites are going to provide Cunego, Garzelli,Basso & Evans plenty of challenges, question is how deep can they go each day and still challenge next morning?

@Decster, thanks for report, .....
my pleasure....sadly it is the only stage i will get to see, but not a bad one to see, even if it was only 45 mins from front group to end riders.
it is some set up, i was up there yesterday having a sniff around and there was no sign of the giro, nothing...they put it all up and down in a day, a real whirlwind that passes through the countryside...incredible....
the dolomites are gonna really crack the race open even more...the italians are gonna have to do something soon, as this is the race that decides their contracts for next year. this is bigger than the TdF for italians and their sponsors...

WEll we saw robbie let Pozzatta take the stage today so "National Celebrations tonight!
Each 5km mark after 50 generally has a "full standup setup with railings,banners etc", most are a wagon with 2 or more workers but sprint & KOM setups can be several vans. This is all they do each day, set up,sleep/maintain and tear down before moving to next days location.Even the start village and arrival area rarely meet up in the 23days. Some of the personel work at both locations such as security but that is rare.
Even the media these days opt for one or the other if they do not travel on the route.
Managers of the Depart & Arrival village can be found on site the day before working off detailed "Blueprints of the area to be utilised, sometimes getting the vehicles into the drop off points is a logistical nightmare. one truck jumping the gun = chaos, rarely happens but the italian language gets electric when that happens !
Same goes for TDF & Vuelta events but the tdf being bigger rarely tries to shoehorne the "Village" into a tight area
