I love that crow-in-a-pumpkin pattern. I had just seen the site the other day when I was looking for things to make from a frappacinno bottle( they look like old milk bottles,real cool stuff to recycle)and I found a free lamp pattern there. I wound up d/l'ing so many of their wonderful free patterns. The Halloween patterns are so cute, I love the vintage-y 20's-30's type ones and can't wait to make some for my grandsons kindergarten class. The milk bottle lamps I was thinking I could get out for Thanksgiving and go all through Christmas with just by changing the decor on them. I saw the siliconed light bulbs on another site, and made some last year, really easy, and I always have plenty of silicone:)Everybody needs to check out that site for sure! Thanks for sharing snolady!! |
How cute. I have never seen that pattern before. TFS |

My mother was such a serious person. Even when she felt happy her face was immobile, sunken into the kind of grimness your average person would have prior to a job interview. But when something tickled her as funny she positively howled, slapping her hand up and down almost involuntarily and could barely breath for laughing. Fat tears would roll down her newly pinked cheeks and it would be several minutes before it subsided. Only then could she tell us what she had found so amusing, and we never got the joke, not even once. But in those moments of her laughter the temperature in the house rose a couple of degrees and I couldn't help but stifle a grin.

From the cow shed there came the most high pitched scream and we all dropped the chore we had been assigned and ran hell-for-leather in its direction. When we got there Dirk was lying on his back covered from head to toe in cow excrement, semi dangling by his left leg that was caught in the winch rope. He stopped flailing when we entered and took on such an indignant face that you'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh. There was no pretence of sympathy and no mad rush to detangle him. Our laughter did not build softly but exploded as good as TNT, filling the dusty air and spilling out into the early morning sunshine.
daisy described this, November 6, 2014.
She always said she hated her laugh, but every time I hear her giggling through her nose, snorting adorably, I fell a little more in love with her.
Sariah Smith described this, June 27, 2014.
She giggled, the sound like a brook flowing merrily through a well-lit wood.
Her laugh was like a waterfall.
She sounded like she had something in her throat as she laughed. It was strained, verging on the sound of someone choking, and obviously fake.
Her laugh, loud and throaty, didn't seem to fit her.
He had a laugh like glass shattering: sharp, brief, and sudden, crashing to a halt.
He chuckled slowly and warmly, reminding me of honey.
He had a crooked little laugh to match his crooked little smile--and his crooked little mind.
His laugh was like thunder; it was a low, rumbling boom.
You could hear her sweet, joyful laughter from a mile away, it would echo through the halls and into each and every room in the house, and would cheer everyone up, it was at times like this that I liked having a 4 year old sister.
azandtheunicorns described this, August 1, 2014.
I don't know why I found myself laughing so hard, but all of the sudden, I couldn't stop. My breath came in quick gasps between my unstopable giggles. Tears gathered in the corners of my eyes, threatening to spill over.

Two frameworks enter, one framework leaves.
This was my presentation from the 2014 Scala Matsuri Conference in Japan. My hope is that the talk is useful not only as a comparison between these two specific frameworks, but also as a model for how to evaluate other web frameworks in the future:
- Learn: getting started, ramp up, overall learning curve.
- Develop: routing, templates, i18n, forms, json, xml, data store access, real time web.
- Test: unit tests, functional tests, integration tests, test coverage.
- Secure: CSRF, XSS, code injection, headers, authentication, security advisories.
- Build: compile, run tests, preprocess static content (sass/less/CoffeScript), package.
- Deploy: hosting, monitoring, configuration.
- Debug: step by step debugger, profilers, logging,
- Scale: throughput, latency, concurrency.
- Maintain: code reuse, stability, maturity, type safety, IDEs.
- Share: open source activity, mailing lists, popularity, plugins, commercial support, jobs.

I put this pond in in 2000. I'm always wanting to re-do the waterfall and had a curved log given to me this summer that I will incorporte into it soon. I want to have moss grow on the log also... |

I made this stepping stone this summer. The pruple paint is from my front porch deck. I painted it this summer. Amazing what they can do with outdoor stain now. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Stepping stone
Wow. I'm impressed. Both look great. What material is your stepping stone from? |
Just plain old cement and it weighs a ton.... I mixed it up, placed half on the leaf, placed window screening over the cement then placed the rest of the cement. I had some cement left over and thought I would make a couple smaller stones and also made the decision to leave out the screen and they popped along the veins so I learned a good lesson there. LOL Thank you for your kind words. |
Your pond and stepping stone look just great. The pond is too cute for words. i have never seen such a stepping stone before - i absolutely love the fact that you made it yourself. Extremely pretty. Thanks for sharing. |
Love the pics, love the leaf stepping stone. Did you color the cement the green color or paint it after it dried? About how thick is the leaf? I would love to do some but would like to have more direct instructions. Im always scared to try something new by winging it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. |
The leaf casting instructions and lots of photos are on the garden acoutrements faq forum.I have learned alot from those folks and am in the process of making these stones for a garden path.Come on over... moonphase |
I wish I had a better picture of the waterfall. |
I would love to see your waterfall up close. Looks great in your picture. I stained afterwards using a sponge for a more mottled look. It's about 4 inches thick with a piece of window screen in the middle for added stability. |

Farming Sheep, Cows and Pigs in Minecraft
Farming cows and pigs will provide a ready source of meat for food. Cows also provide leather, which can be made into armor, and can be milked by right-clicking on them whilst holding a bucket.
Sheep provide wool, but nothing to eat.
The same techniques also apply to chickens, but they also lay eggs, which is an easier way to increase their numbers.
What you will need
The essential thing you will need for farming is food for the animals. Get some of that before you start!
Cows and sheep eat wheat. Pigs eat carrots. Chickens eat seeds (from wheat or long garss)
You will also want to harvest some wood to construct fences and gates to build enclosures.
How to build the farm
Build an enclosure
First you will want to build an enclosure, either a small pen or a large field, in which to keep your animals. This can be indoors or outdoors, but it needs to be somewhere that you can lead the animals to, so outdoors is easier. If you're raising sheep for wool, you will want a grass floor so that they can eat and regrow their wool.
Fences and Gates
Fences form a barrier that is 1½ blocks high, so that mobs (or players) can't jump over it. Fences are crafted from wooden sticks, and automatically connect together when placed next to each other. Gates act as a way to get through fences, and are opened or closed with a right-click.
Enclosure design
You can just fence off an area and build a gate to get in and out, but if you build so that the ground is higher on the inside than the outside, then you can make an animal pen that is easy to get into from any direction but needs a gate to get out.
Find some animals
(you'll note I'm leading pigs around with wheat here: these are old pictures, you'll need carrots)
Now you need to find some animals! The example here is pigs, but it's the same for sheep or cows. Just like in the real world, you will need two of them. There's no male and female in Minecraft; any two of the same species will do.
Lead the animals home
Holding some wheat, approach the animals. When they notice the wheat, they will look at you and follow you. Lead them back to their new home!
If you built the kind of pen suggested above, you should be able to get them in without having to enter the pen yourself. Otherwise, lure them in through the gate. If you select something other than wheat in the toolbar before leaving, they will not try to follow you on the way out.
Animal Breeding
To get your animals to breed, you just need to feed them. Right-click on an animal whilst holding wheat, and hearts will appear above its head so show that it's in the mood. Right-click on another animal nearby, and, well, nature will take its course.
Next something complicated to do with birds and bees and storks and cabbage-patches will happens. Mercifully we don't need to know about all that, we just get to see the results. Awwww!
Until the baby grows up, the adults will not respond to further attempts to make them breed. However, pretty soon you will have four animals that can be bred, and you will quickly be able to raise a large herd.
The most efficient way to harvest meat from your cows and pigs is just to enter the pen, equip a sword and slay all of them except a few that you save for breeding the next herd. If you kill pigs by setting them on fire, then your porkchops will be ready-cooked, but you will have to live with the knowledge that you are a horrible person.
Sheep can be relieved of their wool using a pair of shears. If you want coloured wool, you can dye the sheep first for greater efficiency. Sheep don't regrow wool after shearing, so what you do with them then is your own business.

In concert: Salif Keita at Lisner Auditorium
By Mark Jenkins
"La Difference," Salif Keita's latest release, is the Malian performer's third album in a row to employ a low-key, mostly acoustic sound. But Keita didn't emphasize quieter material Friday night at Lisner Auditorium. He played only two quiet songs, and that may have been one more than planned:
The second ballad came when security guards ordered dancing fans out of the aisles, and Keita did a gentle tune to prompt the crowd to sit down.
Some 90 minutes earlier, the albino singer had insisted on the opposite, stopping the music to announce that "with African music, you have to stand up." Many listeners obliged, staying on their feet for most of the nearly two-hour show. With three percussionists, Keita's nine-person band offered plenty of rhythmic motivation, as well as star turns by guitarist Djely Moussa Kouyate and n'goni player Horouna Samake. (The latter plucked as he slid across the floor or held his instrument behind his back.) The ensemble's rippling patterns buttressed Keita's phenomenal tenor, which reaches notes that are piercing yet never shrill.
Such recent songs as "La Difference" - about African mistreatment of albinos - turned livelier in concert. But the party really started with "Mandjou," one of Keita's oldest tunes and a perennial crowd-pleaser. It began the communal portion of the show, with fans hopping onstage to shimmy, wave and shower the musicians with money. Keita received the visitors graciously, greeting them with hugs, brief dances or crisp, military-style salutes. Amid this benign frenzy, even overanxious security guards couldn't spoil the mood.

The song: Cat Power, "Maybe Not"
The episode: "Pilot" (101)
The hook: Chan Marshall's piano meditation made for a thematically appropriate complement to this complicated "Real or not?" dreamworld drama about Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs), a man whose life was split in two by a car accident. In the waking world, his wife survived instead of his son. When Michael went to sleep, he was transported to a reality in which his son had lived but not his wife. Marshall's words, "There's a dream that I see, I pray it can be," portrayed the bittersweetness of Michael's fractured existence as he made love to his wife in this state of limbo. Shuttling back and forth between the worlds, Michael echoed Marshall's notion that "We all do what we can so we can do just one more thing. We can all be free… with your mind."
Watch it! To sleep, perchance to dream? The scene begins around 23:24 on Awake's Hulu. See what Ken Tucker thought of the intricate premiere in his review.
The song: Lynda Kay, "Jack & Coke"
The episode: "Watching the Detectives" (308)
The hook: When music supervisor Greg Sill wanted to portray the down-and-out mental state of Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), he turned to honky-tonk chanteuse Kay. As Raylan sat in the bar he's lived above since his break-up with Winona (Natalie Zea), Kay sang this alcoholic anthem in the background, proving nothing mixes with "Jack & Coke" quite like steel-guitar sadness. You could hear the desperation in Kay's voice, and indeed see it in Raylan's eyes, atop the lyrics, "Well, I wanna get drunk tonight… I don't care if it ain't right, just give me a Jack & Coke. I got a scratch that needs itching, and a thirst that needs quenchin'. So shut up with your bitchin' and pour me a Jack and Coke."
Watch it! "Watching the Detectives" isn't available in full online, but you can read Justified executive producer Graham Yost's behind-the-scenes take on the episode in his interview with Mandi Bierly, then head over to the show's official blog and watch Kay perform the song.
BEING HUMAN (BBC America)
The song: Henry's Funeral Shoe, "Dog Scratched Ear"
The episode: "Being Human 1955″ (402)
The hook: The Welsh power duo's thrummer was spot-on as vampire-slaying werewolf Tom McNair (Michael Socha) snuck back into his house after a night of bloodsucker bashing. While Tom added a vamp's teeth to his trophy box, frontman Aled Clifford sang, "Your actions are infectious like a dog scratched ear. The pleasure is high. You've been climbing walls, chewing up time, looking for joy when there's none to find." Philip John, who directed this episode, explained, "We liked the momentum [this song] brought — the freewheeling rock 'n' roll intoxication spoke precisely of Tom's current and crusading obsession with ridding the world of vampires."
Watch it! BBC America doesn't have full episodes of Being Human available online, but you can hear "Dog Scratched Ear" on Henry's Funeral Shoe's official site.

Small Destination Wedding
This couple was married over the Labor Day wedding in the gorgeous Rocky Mountains. Traveling from Texas, 20 family members joined in with their celebration. The couple booked our customizable Intimate Wedding Package and added-on a small reception prior to going to dinner. This Colorado elopement package is perfect for an easy turn-key celebration.
Winter Elopement in Vail
This couple was married in February on top of Vail Mountain with views of the amazing Mt. Holy Cross. Just the two of them traveled to Colorado from Oklahoma. The couple scaled-back our intimate wedding package, yet still made it unique, stylish, and elegant. This Colorado elopement package is perfect for couples who want a memorable and stunning wedding.
Colorado Mountain Top Elopement with Kids!
This Texas couple spontaneously traveled to Colorado to get married. They called Wendee six days before their arrival to arrange a meaningful union with their blended family. Seizing the opportunity the first weekend the gondola's opened for the summer season, they conducted a small mountain top wedding. Though prior, we got a chance to do some photos with their new family around the luxury vacation home they had rented on the golf course. Capturing photos of their kids was equally as important as photos of the bride and groom. So, we strolled through the village, got hot cocoa on top the the mountain (yes, it can be chilly, even in June), and played on the chair lifts. After the ceremony and photos, they traveled via another gondola for a gourmet, yet warm dinner at a mountain top restaurant that boasts a show kitchen.
Wedding on the Slopes
You gotta love a bride wearing ski boots! Sarah and Jason are avid skiers, but were living in Georgia at the time they were engaged. What better way to merge passions for life and love than having a wedding on the ski hill? This couple meet the photographers for a photo shoot prior to meeting their 15 guests on top of Keystone Mountain (accessible via gondola ride). After a wedding ceremony outside on the deck, guests were transported via another gondola to North Peak for a mountain-top dinner at the acclaimed Alpenglow Stube. This couple created memories that their nieces and nephews will never forget. Congratulations S & J and maybe we'll see you on the slopes!
Small Vail Mountain Wedding
This couple from Cedar Rapids, IA area symbolizes why we do what we do. The bride and groom, a divorcee and widower respectively, had a mutual attraction for over a year, but wanted to make sure the circumstances were right before going on their first date. Each having life experiences, they instantly knew the significance of their gifts to each other. They instantly bonded and are overwhelmingly fortunate for their second chance at love. Their intimate wedding weekend included their five kids and mothers. It started by the groom sending a note and gift (diamond earrings!) to the bride as she was getting ready. Her gift to him: a custom made song by a local Cedar Rapids, IA musician that told their story in the lyrics. The ceremony not only included personal vows to each other, but they both wrote vows to each other's kids and mother. Every wedding couple we work with has an amazing stories - we are so blessed to be able to what we do.
Intimate Pink November Wedding
November is still a fabulous time of year to get married in Colorado! If planning a November wedding, the weather can go either way: really warm or really snowy. Additionally, you can find some great rates for travel and lodging in early November. As you can see, everything about this wedding was pink - from the bouquet to the dress, from the shoes to the cake, from the necktie to the gorgeous Colorado sunset!
Snowy Winter Wedding in Breckenridge
Check out this amazingly sweet wedding and gorgeous couple! This couple traveled to Colorado from Joplin, MO with their son and parents and arrived in December to a snowy Colorado. Though the day was brisk, it didn't stop them from having a romantic winter wedding. They met just two weeks after the tragedy of the Joplin tornado at a kid's barbeque. On their first date, they stayed up to 5am just talking - the rest is history. These pictures exemplify how amazingly kind, cherishable, personal, and happy their day was with close family.
Vail Elopement in March
We love everything about this wedding - mostly the bride and groom. Both live in Denver and wanted a very intimate, stress-free mountain top wedding. Vail is special to them as they have created many special skiing memories on this mountain top. So, it was only fitting that they exchanged vow on Vail Mountain. We inserted a gardenia into the bride's bouquet - a tribute to her mom who was there in spirit. We love the color choices in this wedding - bright, vibrant bouquet to contrast nicely with the white, natural backdrop of the Colorado mountains.
Destination Intimate Wedding: Colorado Mountains!
This couple called Wendee three weeks prior to their Colorado mountain elopement. They wanted a laid-back, carefree wedding with their closest friends and family. They rented an incredible vacation home in Copper Mountain where everyone stayed and spend a memorable four days. Wanting a natural backdrop to their ceremony, they chose an overlook in Summit County to exchange vows. Afterwards, they celebrated in a semi-private dining area of a restaurant in Copper Mountain village. The bride wanted a style that would fit well with the Colorado environment. So, we went with a vibrant wildflower bouquet. If you are undecided about flowers, this is perfect as it complements every aspect of your wedding. The best part about this intimate wedding: the couple! You can see their happiness in the photos. Congratulations N & J!
Denver Intimate Wedding: Hudson Gardens
Though we love going to the mountains to coordinate intimate weddings, it is nice and refreshing to have one in close to home. Juggling busy schedules, this Colorado couple decided to have their wedding closer to home and somewhere along the Front Range. Seeking a scenic outdoor location in early May, Hudson Gardens was the obvious choice. Additionally, they chose to have a small wedding in order to allocate more money towards the down payment on a home and a new life together. We were thrilled when the bride commented about her bouquet, "This looks like something from Pinterest!" Congratulations D & L! We hope that you have found the perfect home to buy!
Boulder, Colorado Destination Wedding
This couple traveled from Alabama with their four children to marry at a sentimental overlook on Flagstaff Mountain in Boulder, Colorado. Having gone to college at the University of Colorado, the groom had many fond memories of Boulder and wanted to share the Flatirons with his bride and their kids. Making an extended weekend out of their destination wedding, they were able to enjoy Boulder at its best: hiking, tubing down the creek, Pearl Street Mall, and visiting with old friends.
Breckenridge, Colorado Elopement in November
This couple traveled to Colorado from Oklahoma to elope the first weekend that the ski resorts opened. Wanting a snowy wedding, we were able to deliver (with the help of Mother Nature who we owe a ton of gratitude). The couple exchanged vows at a peaceful outdoors overlook and then enjoyed a romantic dinner at the Hearthstone Restaurant. The bride's favorite color is purple and having flexibility with creativity, we designed a multi-hued purple bouquet with a cake to match.
Small Breckenridge, CO Wedding
The intimate weddings are not just for couples traveling from out-of-state. This Fort Collins couple wanted a gorgeous fall wedding, so we timed it when the aspen trees were turning in Breckenridge. 18 family members joined them with their union at an outdoors overlook. Following the ceremony, the couple did a mini photo shoot along the Riverwalk in Breckenridge before joining their guests at a restaurant that features a small private dining room - a great reception option for the small weddings.
Beaver Creek Destination Wedding
Traveling from Washington State, this couple chose Beaver Creek for their Colorado destination wedding since the groom's daughter lives in Vail. Their wedding was held at a unique art gallery. Afterwards, we did a mini photo shoot around Beaver Creek Village. Once the sun went down, we returned to the art gallery for champagne and cake prior to the couple's dinner reservations at Splendito. We especially love the flowers - mostly an all white bouquet, but with the different hues, pine cones and dusty miller, it "pops" in front of the bride's light silver dress.
Aspen Maroon Bells Elopement
This Texas couple called Wendee two weeks prior to their Aspen, Colorado wedding. With research and some phone calls, were were able to pull together an small wedding at the Maroon Bells in Aspen with dinner reservations at the Caribou Club's wine room - perfect for a small gathering. Take note of the cake - those are not fresh flowers, but are sugar flowers. Ah-maaa-zing!
Colorado Mountain Elopement
Every time our florists creates a bouquet for one of our intimate wedding clients, it turns out to be our favorite bouquet. This one, though, is amazing! We are still in love with the fresh colorful pink and oranges that the bride chose for her April elopement in Breckenridge. I still remember sensing the relief in her voice after she originally contacted us on New Years Day. It is exactly what they were looking for. The kicker: everybody, bride and groom included, was from Memphis, TN and have never been to Colorado! Traveling with their parents, sibling and best friend, they all got to experience the best of our mountains on the last weekend the ski resort were open. Another first for the couple: skiing (after the wedding, of course)! Congratulations K & P! We hope you enjoyed your travels across Colorado for your honeymoon and please come back to celebrate anniversaries!
Keystone Mountain Elopement
This Colorado mountain wedding "pops" with a gorgeous red bouquet. This couple traveled from Illinois with 17 of their closest friends and family to "elope" renegade style on Keystone Mountain, accessible via gondola ride. The red bouquet is carried through the with the attire and the cake topper. The bride's good friend hand-made the clay topper to match the bride, her attire, the groom and the bouquet! After exchanging vows, they traveled via limousine to Breckenridge to celebrate their union with a fantastic dinner in a historic Victorian house.
Small Wedding on Beaver Creek Mountain!
This Kansas couple wanted a small elopement-style wedding with only their two kids. However, friends at home would have none of that and decided that they would all travel to Colorado to join in the celebration. So, 30 guests caravanned across I-70 to the Colorado mountains. Traveling by open chair lift, and some skied down, the bride & groom exchanged vows on top of the mountain. After the ceremony, they headed to a restaurant in the village that had a small private dining room that could seat all 32 people who ordered off a limited menu.
Colorado Winter Elopement ...with a Few Guests!
This Denver couple wanted a small wedding with only family. They booked the Intimate Wedding Package to include 10 guests,12 total people. We found a bed and breakfast in the mountains that has a small dining room. The couple did a first encounter as a scenic overlook and then meet their families at the B&B where they conducted an intimate ceremony in the living room prior to be seated for dinner. The couple also chose to stay at the B&B that night. Sweet, intimate, delicious food.... perfect!
Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs
Traveling from 1/2 way around the globe, this bride and groom lives in England. Since she is in the US Air Force and he in the British Navy, they only had a limited window in which to have a small wedding. They traveled to Colorado Springs, her home town, along with several of his family members from England. With a July wedding and Garden of the Gods being notoriously HOT in the summer, we had a late morning wedding and a champagne brunch at a nearby historic inn.
Small Colorado Winter Wedding
This couple originally planned a ski trip to Colorado and decided that they wanted to incorporate a wedding.... with five days notice! Their families drove out from Iowa and all eight guests stayed in a four bedroom home in Breckenridge. We scaled-back the package for the camera-shy groom, though he turned out to be the prefect model. We meet the couple at the house for dressing-the-bride photos. We drove to an overlook for the ceremony, a few photos, and traveled back to the house for cake cutting. After our work was done, the family took advantage of the incredible home they rented and cooked a fabulous celebration dinner.
Downtown Denver Elopement
Although a lot of couples travel to Colorado for their destination wedding, this Denver couple decided they wanted a chic wedding that represented their lifestyle. We planned a downtown Denver wedding where they could get ready, dress the bride, stay at the Westin, walk along 16th Street Mall and Larimar Square for photos, have their wedding at the iconic Clock Tower, and go out for dinner at one of the best steak houses around.
Colorado Elopement Wedding
This couple was married December 27th in Keystone, Colorado using our intimate elopement wedding services. It was the first time the bride had traveled anywhere out West (they are from the South), and she truly enjoyed all the snow! This is an all-inclusive package: location, officiant, planning services, bouquet, boutonniere, cake, dinner for two, photography, and onsite coordination.
Small Wedding in a Gorgeous Mountain Lodge
This couple traveled from Missouri and rented this incredible mountain lodge sitting on 50 acres. All eight guests stayed in this 5-bedroom home for three days while enjoying Breckenridge's activities and views. Instead of going out for to a restaurant, a filet mignon dinner was prepared in this cozy, yet magnificent home. The couple had fun jumping in the snow and making snow angles in their "trash the dress" session after the wedding.
Small Destination Colorado Wedding
After ten years of being a wedding and meeting planner, Wendee wanted a small destination wedding where all of her 22 out-of-state guests could stay in one place. Hence, the birth of our "Intimate Wedding Package" in 2007. Wendee and Geoff rented a 9-bedroom home in the Colorado Rockies for their destination wedding. All 22 close family and friends were able to stay for four days, creating a unique bonding experience as their friends & families, meeting for the first time, could hike, bike, play golf, sail on Lake Dillon, swim in the clubhouse pool, and barbeque on the patio. Originally planning an outdoor ceremony, they brought it indoors due to cold mountain temperatures.... even in July. The gorgeous living room of the home provided for a comfortable, tear-jerking and intimate wedding ceremony. Afterwards, guests walked next door to a fine-dining restaurant to enjoy mojitos and hors d'oeuvres while the couple took photos. A seven-course dinner was served along with two types of cake: lemon chiffon with cherry mousse, and milk chocolate with Baileys Irish Cream.
Small Outdoors Mountain Wedding
With predictable weather, moderate temperatures, and dramatic colors, a September wedding in the Rocky Mountains is dreamy. This couple was married at an overlook in Summit County - a great destination that offers guests a variety of lodging, dining, and activities. Regardless of the time-of-year, go bright with your florals which makes your pictures "pop". We love the bride's choice of daisies. After all, it's still summer until September 21st!

'In a World…' Trailer is a Trailer That Makes Fun of Trailers
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 12, 2013 | Comments (2)Probably nobody has been hankering to see a movie set in the thrilling world of voice-over acting, but the world that writer/director/star Lake Bell has created for her new indie, In a World…, seems like a world that's probably going to be charming and funny enough for you to want to visit it anyway. Or, at least that's how the trailer makes it look, but who can trust what you see in trailers? The trailer for In a World… is all about the empty showmanship that goes into trying to sell movies with trailers. What can't be faked is that Bell's amazing supporting cast is one that includes names like Tig Notaro, Demetri Martin, Rob Corddry, Ken Marino, Geena Davis, Nick Offerman, and many others though, or that the film won the award for screenwriting at Sundance, so you can feel safe giving this Meta ad about a movie about ads a watch anyway.
Casting Couch: Ben Affleck Bails on Kristen Stewart, 'Walk of Shame' Finally Just Announces Its Whole Cast, and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on December 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's the casting news roundup that finally gets to stop talking about Walk of Shame, which was really being something of an attention hog lately. Some real bad news hit today for everyone looking forward to seeing what a trainwreck Ben Affleck and Kristen Stewart starring opposite of each other as romantic interests would have been. Affleck announced that, due to his busy schedule of being a busy person, he's not going to be able to act in Focus after all. This means that the Glenn Ficarra- and John Requa-helmed pic will have to find someone else to vibe with Stewart as its in-the-mood-for-romance con artist, and Affleck is going to have to stick to directing movies, a place everyone seems to feel way more comfortable with him being in anyway.

Medium- to coarse-grained metamorphic rock with parallel, somewhat irregular banding that has little tendency to split along planes. Gneiss is the principal rock over extensive metamorphic terrains. Orthogneiss is formed by the metamorphism of igneous rocks; paragneiss results from the metamorphism of original sedimentary rocks. Pencil gneiss contains rod-shaped individual minerals or segregations of minerals, and augen gneiss contains large lenticular mineral grains or mineral aggregates having the appearance of eyes scattered through the rock.

The Kamloops Blazers started this WHL season by running the table in October.
Now they are attempting to do the same thing in February.
The Blazers, who went 13-0-0 in October, ran their February winning streak to seven games on Saturday night, beating the Rockets 3-1 in Kelowna.
One night earlier, the Blazers had beaten the visiting Rockets, 4-2. The victories have lifted Kamloops (40-15-5) to within three points of the B.C. Division-leading Rockets (42-15-4). The Blazers hold a 5-2-0 edge in the 10-game season series that resumes in Kamloops on March 3.
The Blazers are back in action on Wednesday when the Portland Winterhawks, who lead the WHL's overall standings, are at Interior Savings Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.
The Rockets are off until they meet the Royals in Victoria on Friday and Saturday nights.
On Saturday, Kamloops and Kelowna each was putting the wraps on a busy week.
"You can't put aside that it was three games in three nights (for Kelowna), though for us it was three games in four nights," Kamloops head coach Guy Charron told Doyle Potenteau of the Kelowna Daily Courier. "I'm sure some nights when we've had to play three-in-three, or six-in-eight or those types of things, it's not easy. But . . . we made it difficult for them to be explosive, take the lead . . . we did, I thought, a tremendous job defensively, and that's what gave us success over the weekend."
The Blazers' seven-game winning streak began with a 7-4 victory over the visiting Spokane Chiefs on Feb. 1. Kamloops has given up just 13 goals in the seven games, while winning four times at home and three on the road.
In Kelowna, left-winger Brendan Ranford got the visitors rolling when he beat goaltender Jordon Cooke from along the boards deep in the Rockets' zone just 10 seconds into the game.
Forward Myles Bell got the Rockets even about six minutes later, beating goaltender Cole Cheveldave for his 32nd goal of the season.
Early in the second period, Ranford helped set up defenceman Joel Edmundson while killing a penalty and that goal stood up as the winner. Marek Hrbas, another defenceman, provided insurance in the third period with his seventh goal of the season. It was his fourth score in his last five games.
The 20-year-old Ranford, who is into the stretch drive of his five-year career in Kamloops, now is riding a nine-game point streak, with 18 points in those games. He also has put up five straight multi-point games, including a goal and two assists in Friday's game.
While disappointed with the loss, Ryan Huska, the Rockets' head coach, wasn't upset with his club's effort.
"I thought the guys played hard," Huska said. "They tried out there. There wasn't a lot of jump or push from us. That's the way it goes, but I thought we played and competed right to the end. They were a team that skated and I thought our guys gave what they had."
Huska admitted that the Rockets, who had a 23-game home-ice winning streak snapped the previous weekend when Portland came into the Little Apple and swept a doubleheader, are "going through some adversity right now."
"We have to find, as a group, a way to work our way out of it," Huska added. "Every team goes through it at some point of the season. Now it's our challenge over the next couple of weeks, where we'll have some more practice time and when our schedule isn't quite as busy to get ourselves refocused and back to the way our team is normally playing."
JUST NOTES: Cheveldave finished with 17 saves as he improved his record to 30-12-2. He and Luke Siemens of the Prince Albert Raiders are tied for the WHL lead in victories. . . . Cooke, who is 29-13-3, stopped 25 shots. . . . Kelowna has lost five of its last seven games. . . . The Blazers scratched F Aspen Sterzer (concussion), F Matt Needham (undisclosed) and D Jordan Thomson.
* * *
With a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Rockets in Kelowna, Kamloops Blazers left-winger Brendan Ranford has 340 points, including 208 assists, in 336 regular-season WHL games.
He is seventh on the franchise's all-time scoring list, trailing Rob Brown (522 points), Greg Hawgood (473), Darcy Tucker (379), Dean Evason (377), Greg Evtushevski (367) and Hnat Domenichelli (349).
Ranford is five games shy of C.J. Stretch's franchise record for regular-season games played (341) and is sixth on the career assists list, behind Brown (343), Hawgood (326), Evason (236), Evtushevski (232) and Tucker (229).
Ranford is on schedule to tie the franchise record for most games played on March 1 when the Blazers meet the Cougars in Prince George. He could set the record the following night at home against the Vancouver Giants. Should he play in each of his club's remaining 12 games, Ranford will have played in 348 games.

By the end of the '90s EVR found itself with an impressive stable of hardcore and punk bands, having added Bane, Trial, Converge and Saves the Day to its roster in the latter part of the decade.

Facebook on Friday began letting its more than 900 million members VOTE whether they approve of privacy policy changes introduced last month before the social network's stock market debut. The polls opened at a "Facebook Site Governance Vote" page at the social network and will close June 8 at 900 am (1600 GMT). The vote will be considered binding if more than 30 percent of Facebook's active members take part, communications vice president Elliot Schrage said in a blog post. Facebook held its first privacy policy vote in 2009, when the social network was a privately held startup with about 200 million members. The company has since grown to nearly a billion users, moved to the former Sun Microsystems campus in the city of Menlo Park, and raised billions of dollars by going public with an initial public offering of stock in May. "Today we are posting the proposed revised versions of both documents and asking you to join our second global site governance vote," Schrage said. We strongly encourage you to participate." Those interested in voting were directed to https://www.facebook.com/

Recap | Box Score | Photos | Video Highlights | #RTZ Digital Rundown
Jonas Valanciunas was looking for a distraction. On Wednesday night, for roughly two and a half hours, the Philadelphia 76ers fit the bill.
Playing in his first game since being charged with a DUI early Monday morning, Valanciunas was fantastic about the 76ers. Scoring a career-high 26 points to go with 12 rebounds, he shot 10-for-14 from the floor and 6-for-8 from the free throw line as Toronto defeated Philadelphia 125-114.
"I don't know if it had anything to do with his off-court mishaps or not but I liked his focus, I liked his intensity, he was engaged," Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said. "No ill effects whatsoever and hopefully we can get it all settled."
Immediately after the victory, Valanciunas wanted to speak with the media. It was the first time he had spoken since the news has been reported. Rather than talking about his play, he chose to publicly thank fans for their support.
"It's been a rough couple of days, but I find power, find my energy to come out [and] fight," Valanciunas said. "I felt really good fan support, thank you to them. That felt great because everybody supported me. I just say sorry and I'm learning, you know… to be better."
The Raptors locker room wasn't at all surprised at Valanciunas' big night.
"He was going to play like trash or play amazing," Kyle Lowry said. "He played amazing. That's what we expected."
DeMar DeRozan was extremely direct in voicing support of his sophomore teammate. When asked his thoughts on the performance Valanciunas put in against the Sixers, he responded with a lighthearted request: "I hope everybody leaves him alone."
Against the 17-61 Sixers, Valanciunas looked unstoppable. The Raptors went to him early and often and he responded.
"He wants the ball," Lowry said. "Tonight he was literally yelling at me to give him the ball. And I've got to do nothing but give him the ball, because he's our big fella."
By halftime, Valanciunas had 17 points and seven rebounds, while making six of his seven field goal attempts. He topped his previous career-high of 24 before the third quarter had finished.
"He came out big," DeRozan said. "That shows he doesn't let anything else affect him. Everything that's going on or the situation that happened, he's just going out there playing. He did what he did, it's over with. He apologized to us and he understands what's at stake. He understands we need him."
Toronto needs Valanciunas, but it also needs the rest of its roster healthy and ready to go for the postseason as well. Amir Johnson was inactive on Wednesday night to give his sprained ankle another night off. Lowry returned after a three-game absence because of a bruised knee. He showed little signs of rust, scoring 10 of his game-high 29 points in the fourth quarter as the Raptors finally shook off a scrappy Sixers squad that wanted to hang around.
The victory moves the Raptors to 46 wins on the season. They can tie the franchise wins record with a victory on Friday night against the New York Knicks. A victory would also clinch the Atlantic Division title for the second time in franchise history.
Playing for things that matter and crossing goals off the April to-do list is new territory for this Raptors team. The question coming into Wednesday's game was whether Valanciunas would be a distraction to his team in the wake of a rare off-court issue this team has had to deal with. He quickly answered that question by putting in the best night of his NBA career. While his performance helped his team to victory, being able to be there for his teammates held extra meaning for Valanciunas.
"This is our sanctuary," Lowry said. "Basketball, where we get a chance to be away from everything. Basketball is our space, our secret spot. That's where guys get to release a lot of energy and intensity."

According to CFD Fire and Arson investigator Ben Atchley, the fire was believed to have originated on a screened-in porch at the rear of the home.
Atchley said as the fire progressed, it spread into the attic area and through the roofline.
Reports indicated the fire was reported just before 8 p.m.
When firefighters arrived, the flames had broken through the roof.
A number of Cleveland Fire suppression units responded and remained there late into the evening.
Stan Clark of Bradley County Emergency Medical Service reported paramedics were sent to the scene and remained on stand-by as firefighters battled the blaze.
No injuries were reported, according to Clark.
Atchley said the home appeared to be a total loss, but no dollar estimate was available at the time of the initial report.
- A Decatur resident was charged with theft under $500 after he allegedly took construction materials from a site in Charleston.
According to a report filed by deputy John Davis of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, Michael Graham was arrested after a brief investigation at Wacker in Charleston.
Davis responded to the site after officials at Wacker accused Graham of taking copper wire, a large light bulb and some cable ties, according to his report.
Graham had loaded the items in a vehicle. Wacker officials reportedly observed Graham putting the items in a pickup truck. As he and two co-workers attempted to leave, Wacker security officials notified the Sheriff's Office of the alleged theft.
Graham was taken into custody without incident and taken to the Bradley County Jail where he was booked on the charge, according to Davis.
- Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting Driver's License Roadside Safety Checkpoints in Bradley County beginning this weekend and Sobriety Checkpoints in Polk County.
The checkpoints will be set up in random location in the counties, according to THP officials.
Checkpoints are an effective means of recognizing the dangers presented to the driving public, by motorists who would violate the laws of the state.
All scheduled checkpoints are contingent upon weather conditions and manpower availability.

Ok...so I know this is a very specific question and unlikely to get any responses but I'm posting for my dear husband. We went to an auction last saturday in Powell and bought 23 trees (YIKES!) for practically nothing. Incredible deal but now we have to plant them. They are large burlapped evergreen trees and my husband can drag them around the yard but it is a lot of work and he'd be able to plant them much quicker if he had a dolly. We've found several dollies all over the internet but shipping is as much as the cost of the dolly. There must be someplace that is local that we can either buy one or rent one. Anyone have any thoughts at all?
Follow-Up Postings:
If you have a Harbor Freight you may have luck with something there. They may not have tree dollies, I didn't see them on the website, but you never know what they may have in store. http://www.harborfreight.com/ Also found them at the AM Leonard site... they are located near Dayton (mail-order only), but the shipping seemed resonable last time I ordered from them... based on the total of the order not the weight of the item... tho some larger items may be taged as oversize and subject to additional shipping charges. http://www.amleo.com/index/help-desk/subcat.cgi?Cat=FA As for rentals... try Lowes of Home Depot. I know some locations also rent tools, tho not sure about availability of tree dollies. You may also want to try your yellow pages and look under tool rental. One other shot is to call local greenhouses/nurserys and ask if you can borrow or rent one from them. I would doubt it tho as it's the really busy season for all growers and I'm not sure they'd part with a piece of equipment like that at this time of year. Worth a shot at least... all they can do is tell you no! Good luck!!! |
Call Oakland. If they know, they will tell you. They are very nice helpful people. |

Thanks for the help. Its funny, we called oakland and they too recommended am leanonards. AM leonards was going to charge us over $100 to ship it and it only cost about $200. So we decided to go pick it up. They have a store in Piqua and actually had them in stock. They actually had exactly what we wanted. We could use a store like that in Columbus. Its about an hour and a half drive for us...but worth the $100 plus shipping fee. My husband is on his way to Piqua right now. Thanks again! |

Reading Guide
Dogged Pursuit
Robert Rodi
Combining an inside look at an engaging, colorful subculture, a classic fish-out-of-water story, and an examination of how a man and his dog can transform each other, Dogged Pursuit offers reading groups a range of topics for vibrant discussion. We hope that the following questions will aid you in exploring the major themes, incidents, and ideas that populate the book—and inspire you to uncover more of them on your own.
Robert Rodi was born in Chicago in the conformist 1950s, grew up in the insurrectionist 1960s, came of age in the hedonist 1970s, and went to work in the elitist 1980s. This roller-coaster ride has left him with a distinct aversion to isms of any kind; it also left him with an ear for hypocrisy, cant, and platitudes that allowed him, in the 1990s, to become a much-lauded social satirist.
His first novel, Fag Hag, was published in 1991 and was swiftly translated into Italian, French, German, and Japanese. It was followed by Closet Case (1992), What They Did to Princess Paragon (1994), Drag Queen (1995), Kept Boy (1997), Bitch Goddess (2002), and When You Were Me (2007). His first nonfiction book, Dogged Pursuit: My Year of Competing Dusty, the World's Least Likely Agility Dog was released by Hudson Street Press in 2009.
Robert's shorter fiction can be found in a number of anthologies, including Men On Men 5, His, and Sandman: Book of Dreams. His novella Glad, Gladder, Gladys was serialized online at USAToday.com. His literary criticism has appeared in the pages of The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, NewCity, and The Harvard Gay and Lesbian Review.
Robert is the creator of several comic-book series, including 4 Horsemen, Codename: Knockout, and The Crossovers. He was a founding member of the Chicago-based performance art troupe, The Pansy Kings, who were active throughout the 1990s, and he wrote sketches for the Live Bait Theater's revues Junk Food and Dear Jackie: The Queen of Camelot Remembered.
Robert still lives in Chicago, in a century-old Queen Anne house with his partner Jeffrey Smith and a constantly shifting number of dogs.
- The story revolves around Robert Rodi's adoption, training, and competing of Dusty, the world's least likely agility dog. Dusty's presence, as a result, pervades the book, though he never speaks a word. How, in the absence of dialogue, does Robert convey Dusty's character and build him into a legitimate protagonist?
- Early in the book, Robert remarks that "only persons can have personalities;" he later changes his mind after speaking with his friend Andi. In your opinion, what is personality? (Robert describes it as "the set of reflexes, impulses, traits, and responses that differentiate one individual from all others.") Can animals truly have it?
- At several points in the book Robert observes that Dusty's behavioral problems exactly mirror his own, and he speculates that he has "infected" his dog with his bad attitude. Do you think Robert was right? Can pets "learn" surliness and orneriness from their humans? Have any of your animals ever reflected your personalities?
- As the book progresses, Robert unexpectedly finds himself becoming a member of a community formed by his agility training colleagues. How does Robert build the idea of this group of disparate characters as a functioning community, and how does his acceptance by them change him, and change Dusty? Discuss the communities that have been important in your own lives. (For instance, your reading group!)
- Throughout the book, Robert presents himself as someone who enjoys literature, classical music, fine cuisine, and Italian wines. Is Robert a snob? If so, does he change over the course of the book? If not, what is it about his character that saves him from snobbery?
- In Chapter 20, Robert draws a comparison between most agility competitors, who know a very great deal about their chosen culture, and himself, someone who possesses a smattering of knowledge about a great many things. Which of these best describes you? Which is your spouse, your best friend? And which, if either, is preferable?
- Robert begins with a strong desire for "glory," and it's this motivation that drives him for most of the book. How does his definition of the term change over the course of the narrative? Given that he doesn't accomplish his original goal (to take Dusty to the national championships), do you consider him a failure? If not, what were his successes?
- Robert's partner Jeffrey remains a background presence until the final chapters. What is Jeffrey's role in the story? Did the sequence of unexpected events that bring Jeffrey into the foreground surprise you? Was this shake-up dramatically satisfying for you? If not, what would you rather have had happen?
- The book is clearly intended to be a celebration of canine agility and the people who compete in it. After reading it, do you feel that agility is something you might like to try? Or does it seem to you too strange, or cult-like, or silly?
- In Part Three, Robert tries out a number of unconventional ideas, including having Dusty "read" by an animal communicator, and submitting him to acupuncture therapy. Do these seem like valid choices to you, or was Robert being gullible, wasting his time and money?
- Do you think Robert will have any better luck with Harley, the dog he adopts at the end of the book? Or does it even matter? Is the point of training and competing alongside your dog unrelated to how well you actually do at tit? Has Robert learned anything? Have you?
- How does this book compare with other dog memoirs you've read? Would you recommend it to a friend who isn't interested in dogs? Is there something universal in the story that anyone can appreciate, or is it strictly for pet lovers?

Hey everyone...new here...Hope someone can help me with my current predicament, as I'm not a very "handy" guy.
I live in an old house with an old Stanley garage door system...I had programmed the transmittor in my car to open/close the door the past few years, so there were no problems. Last month I sold the car, so had to dig up my the regular transmiter. It wasn't working, so I replaced the battery, and even then, it wasn't working...or it would work sometimes then not other times. So I figured the thing was a dinosaur...they system is prob 20 yrs old I think. So went to the store, and bought a universal remote by SkyLink...came home and programmed it, but it would not work...i called tech support, and they told me that if it won't work, i need to also buy a separate receiver. So I went back to the store, and bought the receiver. I connected the receiver to a power source, and wired the 2 wires into the fixed garage door opener thingy on the wall, and then I programmed the remote to work with the receiver...and everything was great. It was working fine at close range...and I went out to the driveway, and it still worked fine from 30 feet out. I smiled and was happy with my work. Then....when the garage door was DOWN, I pressed the button and NOTHING...tried again at close range and nothing again. Called tech support, and they said that they were sorry but our door is METAL and sometimes their systems just can not penetrate through metal. I asked for a "fix" or upgrade....and she said there was nothing to do, and recommended I try another manufacturer who might offer a more robust system that goes through metal. I'm stuck. Can anyone help me please? I'm not very handy so I can't really do crazy rewiring and stuff... Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would take that transmitter and receiver back to the store and try to get my money back. Then I would get rid of that 20 year old Stanley and get something new. The door may be metal but the rest of your house and garage isn't and the transmitter should work. |
Thx for the resopnse Don...The store were very nice and said that if things didn't work they would certainly offer me a full refund...So no worries on that front. Buying a whole new system might end up being my only option...Unless they can recommend another receiver/transmittor that is more robust. I guess I'll see how it goes when I go back to the store, and see what advice they can give me... Cheers. |
On the external reciever you should have some sort of an antenna. Get you a small piece of wire and cut and splice this into the antenna. Run that wire all the way to the front of the garage and let it hang down just above the springs. What you are doing is extending the antenna, then try it with the door closed. I have to do this on all the Liftmaster external recievers I install. |

Summary: Art, Cultural Heritage, and the Law is one of the first legal casebooks to address the rapidly emerging fields of art and cultural heritage law, utilizing an interdisciplinary approach. This book addresses artists' rights (freedom of expression, copyright, moral rights and rights in architectural works and historic preservation); the functioning of the art market (dealers and auction houses, warranties of quality and authenticity, transfer of title and recovery of st ...show moreolen art works, and the role of museums), and finally cultural heritage (the fate of art works and cultural objects in time of war, the international trade in art works and cultural objects, the archaeological and underwater heritage of the United States, and indigenous cultures, focusing on restitution of Native American cultural objects and human remains, and appropriation of indigenous culture). This book is intended for the law school classroom but will also be useful to any lawyer or scholar interested in these timely issues and emerging fields of legal practice. The book provides an appendix of international conventions and national statutes the addresses the art market and disposition of cultural objects. Combining both legal and non-legal source materials and several very recent legal decisions, the book presents an interdisciplinary approach and addresses some of the most contentious ethical aspects of these issues. In addition, images of many of the art works that were at issue in the legal cases are presented so that the reader can gain an appreciation of the artistic and cultural values at stake. ...show less
