Vinalhaven residents will get day in court over wind turbine noise
VINALHAVEN, Maine — Neighbors of three wind turbines on this island will get a hearing in court to see whether Fox Island Wind's plan to quiet its turbines is stringent enough.
Although court documents state there were two nights in July 2010 that the Vinalhaven turbines were too noisy, the problem has persisted, according to the Fox Island Wind Neighbors, a group of about 15 people who filed a lawsuit in July 2011 in Kennebec County Superior Court seeking to nullify a June 2011 Department of Environmental Protection order against the wind power project developer. The group wants the court to institute an earlier version of the order developed by DEP staff that imposed tougher compliance requirements.
Fox Islands Wind asked the court to throw the case out but Kennebec County Superior Court Justice Michaela Murphy ruled March 20 the case will not be dismissed.
Now the court may hear arguments on the legality of the conditional compliance order.
The three turbines slipped out of compliance at least two nights in July 2010 by exceeding the 45 decibel noise limit set by the Board of Environmental Protection, according to court records.
After the noise problem was reported, Fox Islands Wind had to submit a plan to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection explaining how it would fix the problem.
The DEP approved the plan and gave the wind company a conditional compliance order.
The neighbors group was not satisfied by the corrective plan and filed the lawsuit.
According to court documents, DEP staff in April 2011 planned to order Fox Islands Wind to demonstrate that it was operating within the noise limits for three months and then again every five years. The DEP also would have made the company post all operational, sound and meteorological data online for the public to see.
In June, under a new commissioner, the DEP redrafted the compliance order, taking out parts that would make the wind company demonstrate compliance and post the information online.
The neighbors group said that decision was "politically motivated, arbitrary and capricious, contrary to law, unsupported by substantial evidence, and the product of an abuse of discretion," court documents state. The Fox Island Wind Neighbors pointed out that new DEP Commissioner, Patricia Aho, had worked at Pierce Atwood, the same firm that represents Fox Islands Wind.
"That [new] version of the compliance order insulated Fox Islands Wind from accountability. That's when we took it to court. They tried to throw it out and the judge said no way," said Rufus Brown, attorney for Fox Islands Wind Neighbors.
Brown said he also is filing First Amendment claims in court that the DEP intentionally has made it difficult for the neighbors group to file complaints about the wind turbine noise and that the DEP did not enforce noise rules after complaints were made.
Since those days in July 2010 when the turbines were too noisy at night, the wind company has been working at reduced capacity, which makes less energy, said Chip Farrington, who runs the wind co-op and is also on the Fox Islands Wind management committee.
Fox Islands Wind had General Electric add serrated edges to the turbine blades last autumn.
"They look like shark fins and that mitigates noise without decreasing the power; that dropped the noise by two decibels," Farrington said.
The community-supported Fox Islands Wind facility began operating in October 2009 in an effort to reduce high electricity costs on the islands of Vinalhaven and North Haven. Supporters claim the facility has helped lower costs and continues to enjoy the strong backing of most island residents.

I got some Iris fulva seeds and I want to try to germ. them. Anyone have any advice for germ. these? thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Habitat: Moist areas in wetlands and along bayous. Bloom: Mid April in Zone 7/8. Description: Flowers: d10 cm, drooping (pendant), typically orange-red viened darker also yellow and violet Stem: h 50-90 cm, erect, nearly straight, flowers in axils Leaves: h 45-80 cm, w 1.5-2.5, drooping tips Rhizome: w 2 cm, greenish, bare, 12 cm annual growth Capsule/Seeds: w 2.75, l 5 cm, green at maturity / seeds corky 2n = 42 Cultivation: Sun: Full but will tolerate some shade, afternoon shade in warmer climes Soil type: Neutral to acid, lots of humus Soil moisture: Moist but not wet. Mulch to retain moistureand protect rhizomes from sun burn. Feeding: Heavy feeder, feed at onset of growth in fall andspring. Hardiness: hardy Seed germination: Plant seeds before they are allowed dry. Transplant: Easy in fall or spring after bloom Comments: Generally easy. Will grow in "border garden" conditions with additional water. Also... The seed pods should be carefully cut open and the seeds planted about 3/4 inch deep in pots of garden soil or potting mix. If the pots are kept moist, the seeds should begin to germinate with the first cool nights in October or November. The seedlings can be planted into the garden in early spring. Most can be expected to bloom the following spring. Good luck they are beautiful. Get them growing and trade some seeds with me in the futre. |
I have not grown this variety, but I have noticed iris seeds that have been planted or fallen from my summer blooms are starting to sprout. I have been seeing iris sprouts all over the place. The October sprouting time probably applies to other varieties also |

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Reports: According to Congressional and Bush administration sources, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now unlikely to bring a resolution which would label the deaths of Armenians in a conflict more than 90 years ago as "genocide".
Pelosi, as recently as Sunday on "This Week", has repeatedly said she would call the controversial but nonbinding resolution for a vote despite the opposition of the Bush administration and warnings that it could damage U.S. relations with Turkey.
President Bush called Speaker Pelosi on Monday night and asked her to pull the bill. But Congressional sources say that Pelosi is telling House members that she will not bring the bill to the floor without majority support.
At least seven House members have withdrawn as co-sponsors of the bill and several more are expected to follow. Key Pelosi ally Rep. John Murtha, D-Penn., is also lobbying against a vote.
Key House members continue to canvass members but don't expect a vote this year.

I guessed "1 cup" but I note the left arrowhead is on the same key as the "," so perhaps it was supposed to be "less than 1 cup". Either way it smells fab! I used lychee liqueur instead of calvados because I had it.
Wise readers, can anyone help? It says to reduce the liquid to " , cup" - one cup? half a cup? What did you do? I can't wait to make this for Thanksgiving, but don't want to screw it up... Thanks!
This is a great fruit compote when pears are in season. I halve this recipe (It does make a lot) and serve it with an assortment of cheeses and fruits.
I made this to accompany a cheese course in a multi-course meal and it was simply fantastic. Everyone enjoyed it very much.
I made this to top the New York Cheesecake (which is outstanding) and it was really nice. I didn't have figs, but I still think it came together well. Also, I used kirsch, which was nice with the cherries. I really think this tasted best when I first made it. I refrigerated it overnight and served it warmed with the cheesecake, and I think it lost a little something.
This was a nice addition to the Thanksgiving table but I made some changes....I added 6 cracked allspice berries, an entire 8 oz. package of figs and about 10 slices of crystallized ginger (Chopped). Also, I didn't have Calvados so substituted Grand Marnier. And I garnished it with halved slices of fresh grapefruit. Everyone loved it.

Is there a way to set my default DWF format to DWF instead of DWFx? My plotter does not currently recognize the DWFx as a valid format, probably because of some issue I have not had time to look into.
Did you find a solution? We have searches for a way to change the default as well.
when asked to save your DWF/DWFx file, use the drop down to select what type you would like to use. Hope it helps
Sorry, but that does not help. I already know about that. The problem is that no matter how much you educate people about the setting they must use, they forget about it. That means that if I never want anyone to accidentally plot to a DWFx, I need a way to set DWF as a default.
We have that issue too, with Worksets and DWFs. My solution was to make each user wear a reminder WWJD bracelet. (We Want Just .DWFs!). But there may be converters out there that might be faster than re-plotting.

Hot dogs and rubber chickens: Chair Entertainment brings out the Vote!!!
The US election season is almost with us again, so why not slap on a few bumper stickers, bone up on campaign financing, and then attack Mitt Romney on the South Lawn of the White House, wielding a frankfurter on a fork? All of this is funded, as those cheery attack ads like to say, by the good people at Chair Entertainment, who have achieved the near-impossible: a topical political game that's actually worth playing.

Watching Curiosity on Mars makes me feel like athlete who didn't win a medal
– says Professor Colin Pillinger
NASA'S space rover Curiosity is trundling across Mars, zapping rocks for signs of life and sending back incredible images of the Red Planet. But British craft Beagle 2 could have been doing the same had it not been lost on landing on Christmas Day 2003. Here, Beagle 2's mission leader explains his mixed feelings about Curiosity.
THERE are a lot of people at Nasa who deserve a gold medal for what they have achieved in successfully landing Curiosity on Mars.

Cheap, that's what I have to say. I use it for my mask instead of foundation. And it did the job. After a while, the hair to fall out, I'm only used it for, I think twice
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this brush! It really blends my foundation well into my skin effortlessly. It is also the perfect size. It was super cheap only 1 dollar and doesn't shed. The only negative thing i have to say is that the top metal part came off of the bottom wooden part while i was cleaning it but it was easy to fix and hasn't happened again. This was my first foundation brush I've used so i don't have much to compare it to but overall this is a great brush and i highly recommend it.
As a concealer brush this is perfect. Not too big or small, blends out liquids and creams well and gets into the little nooks and crannies around the nose and eyes. I also use this to apply and blend out cream or liquid based product after contouring my nose.Tried it as a foundation brush but it isn't great for that. Would repurchase for use as a concealer brush.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The powder brush by elf works so much better for foundation
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this to blend out my concealer and it works perfectly. I've never tried to apply foundation with it because I already have a very nice foundation brush, and the bristles on this feel too soft and fluffy for that purpose.
It's only a dollar, so it wont hurt to try it out!
Great brush for the price! I use this brush to blend under-eye concealer and it seems to blend very nicely. Again, great price so stock up!
Very nice soft brush for a dollar. I don't use this for foundation, but I do for concealer. It's stiff enough for heavy or thick concealers and foundations, but soft enough to not tug or pull. It hasn't come loose from the glue or shed and I have had it for 6 months now. Nice quality brush!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For a dollar I have a couple of these lying around my house. Usually I get these in E.L.F cosmetic kits all the time. It's a very nice brush and I use it to help apply concealer in the morning. I have nothing negative to say about this brush it does its job and is a great deal. Definitely should give it a try!
Picked this up for $1 as I was sick of using my fingers for my BB cream (Tonymoly Goddess Aura BB Cream). It's not streaky, and seriously reduced the amount of product you need. It's also small, which is awesome, because I have a small face with small nooks and crannies. I usually wind up patting out certain spots with my finger still (under eyes, around lips) but otherwise, it's ideal and making my product go twice as far.

Fist of the ASS hair | 0 out of 1 user found this review helpful. |
This anime. Oh boy, what can I say about this anime? Other than it's total shit.
Never before have I ever seen an anime that has such an asinine and ungodly feel to it that I literally would turn away from it for all time, regardless of not understanding the whole story (I have a policy of finishing everything I watch so it made it hard to even understand anything even though it was retarded enough already).
This anime is the kind of anime that is so retarded that the very miniature script I am about to show you perfectly gives a perfect demonstration of the retard levels of this anime.
Scene 1: Bobobo (Character) and gang find serious villain.
Scene 2: Serious villain gets ready to fight.
Scene 3: Bobobo and some of his gang start breaking out into dance for whatever reason causing to villain to get pissed.
Scene 4: Bobobo throws Don Patch, a main supporting character, at the villain (Now that can be funny but not enough to save the show).
Scene 5: Bobobo gets mad and uses his nose hair attacks to hit one his friends to relieve stress.
Scene 6: This is where it gets bad, bad, bad, bad, and bad, as the show cuts in the middle of the fight to show a mini side story, unrelated to Bobobo, about either an incoherent story of Bobobo dressed in drag, or some other bullshit story about an unrelated character.
Scene 7: Serious villain kicks the gangs ass.
Scene 8: Bobobo does some fucked up fusion that seems to be of something so useless but still wins. And the villain turns into some inanimate object, or some kind of creepy thing like a missile lady with legs.
Not only does it make disgraceful mockeries of classic anime like Fist Of The North Star (The main characters styles of fighting are called things like Fist Of The Nose Hair or something stupid like that) but it doesn't even try to be better at making parodies.
The powers are the most bullshit part of the show aside from the story progression. One of the main characters name is Gasser and his power is literally using his farts. Don Patch literally uses bullshitting others as a part of his array of abilities. Jelly Jiggler IS MADE OF FUCKING JELLY!!!
That alone is the most asinine story development I have ever seen.
There is also little character development. And even if there is some it is so god damn shitty and retarded that nothing would matter or make sense. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this hellish nightmare that my policy made me finish (I saw it before reading reviews but not that it needed to reviewed to show people how stupid it was).
So for me I would, in conclusion, call this something that is so bad and terrible for you that not even Satan would use it as a torture device, it's so bad.

With the exhaust turn down. Couldn't it clogged or blocked by mud or snow and back up into the cab?
Also isn't it a lot louder in the cab? |
Surprizingly not. It's exactly as silent as if it had the rest of the pipe all the way out the rear quarter. I'll make a little video later today and edit it into this post so that you can hear it.
Here's the video...
You don't hear any of this in the cab because there are no low frequencies passing through the muffler. However, you do hear the three foot long intake under the hood.

A day after the former MP, Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, announced his party's name as YSR Congress Party, he released the tricolour party flag at his father Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's samadhi in Idupulapaya on Saturday afternoon at a simple ceremony.
The flag has three vertical strips of blue, white and green, in that order from the left with YSR's portrait in the centre. Symbols of nine government schemes conceived during YSR's rule are placed in a circular fashion around the portrait.
Mr. Jagan and his mother Vijayalakshmi placed the flag at the samadhi and paid respects to YSR in the presence of Hindu, Muslim and Christian religious leaders, besides several party leaders.
Earlier, the entire family, including Ms. Vijayalakshmi, her daughter Sharmila and her husband arrived by helicopter and released the flag at a pre-fixed muhurtam.
The symbols depicting the schemes around YSR's portrait were for 'pavala vaddi', Rajiv Arogyasri, fee reimbursement, Jalayagnam, Indiramma housing, old age pension, Rs. 2 a kg rice scheme, free power to farmers and house site pattas.
A group of party activists carried the flag and went around exhibiting it to the waiting media while five large balloons carrying the party's name were hoisted.
Mr. Jagan did not address the gathering or speak to the media as an official handed over a letter to his aides citing the election code that barred hoisting of the party flag and conduct of a public meeting.
Those present were N. Padmanabha Reddy, brother of ex-Chief Minister, Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy, MP, Konda Murali and Pulla Padmavathi, MLCs, G. Srikanth Reddy, C. Adinarayana Reddy, A. Amarnatha Reddy, P.M. Kamalamma, MLAs, Bhooma Nagi Reddy, ex-MP, Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, Konda Surekha and M. Mareppa, ex-Ministers, B. Karunakara Reddy, ex-TTD chairman, Ambati Rambabu, Gattu Ramachandra Rao, Bajireddy Goverdhan, Gone Prakasa Rao, ex-MLAs, and Chittoor ZP chief Narayana Reddy.

No, you missed a couple layers of nuance. When would you consider a canine fetus a puppy?
<quoted text>
That is neither up to you nor your concern.
The first line in Natalee Holloway's Mom's book is, "God is good." Then she goes on to describe what it was like to realize her daughter was missing, presumed dead, and partially blamed for it. Like saying "God has a plan" as comfort for those still living. Under the surface, one would have to wonder about "God's plan" if one admitted being human. If one blindly accepted an untimely death of a barely graduated high school senior as "God's plan" without question, wouldn't YOU wonder about the sanity in that?
<quoted text>
Why does you side excel in the inability to decipher similes? You see the word AS in the sentence, "You sit AS accuser, judge and jury..."? That's called an observation. I observe your posts written as if you sat as accuser, judge and jury of all women.

I know you think you caught Foo in some weird trap when she repeated your words referring to your mother as a wh0re, but as far as I know, you're the only one who think that.

You should hold a cardboard sign next to the person that will work for food.
The reason ms. Hollaway was murdered, is becouse she was young and beautiful and getting drunk at a bar, leaving with strange guys, what did God have to do with it, but be heart broken over her death?
He allows free will.
She freely went, freely drank, the guy freely killed her.
Yet since many don't believe in sin as I do, it shouldn't have bothered anyone. Self inflicted nonesense.
When should God have stepped in? Just before he killed her?
Before she went to the bar?
Before she went with the guys?
Before she left for the trip?
Your type likes to say we use God as a crutch, yet turn around and say God allows abortion and even gives men the knowledge of how to do it, do you not?
Or blame God for a girl getting pregnant.
Your confused.

How sweet would it be to have all of your guests sporting a colorful corsage! Here's how to create them.
By Mary Swenson
Warm-weather weddings, whether they're indoor or outside, call for plenty of liquids for your guests. These subtly-flavored waters are easy to make, are a creative way to hydrate your guests, and can do double-duty as table numbers! Purchase glass bottles with airtight stoppers (like these) for your water; they look great, and the stoppers will keep your water as fresh as possible. We used a simple number stencil and multi-surface acrylic paint to put the table number on each bottle. No stencils? Painting the number by hand can be just as charming. Once the numbers are fully dry, you are ready to start flavoring the water. Start by adding the flavorings of your choice to each bottle, fill them to the top with water, and secure the stoppers. Done! We combined cucumber and mint in our bottle, but the flavor possibilities are endless. Try raspberry and lime; sliced lemon, peaches, watermelon, or strawberries; vanilla beans...whatever you like! Make sure any fruit you use is washed thoroughly before using, and use spring or filtered water for the best taste. Chill your water before placing them on each table. As guests arrive to their tables, they can help themselves to sips of the refreshing brew. Ahhh! By Mary Swenson -

The latte bowl is having a wonderful design moment this year. Coming out at every store in the most beautiful hues, textures and styles. Grab a stack of coordinating bowls and bunches of your favorite flowers to finish off reception tables with a beautiful touch. Using latte bowls as centerpieces gives a gorgeous presentation to flowers, allows you to use fewer stems (which saves money!) and they are low enough to allow guests to see each other and chat across the table. 1. Collect anywhere from 1-3 bowls per table in coordinating colors and designs. Place a small floral ball in water to soak for hours before putting the centerpieces together. You will need to make these on the day of your event, so enlist the help of a good friend to do the final put together and placement. 2. Carefully poke 3-4 stems of your favorite fully-blooming flowers into the balls. 3. Mist to keep florals alert just before table placement. Project and Photos By: Victoria Hudgins -

The vintage book theme has been a major player in wedding themes this year. We think these bookmark escort cards are the perfect touch to your celebration!
Using an exacto knife, cut around the heart 90% of the way.
Leave a small portion of the heart uncut and attached to the page.
After cutting, you can easily erase your tracing lines with a clean cloth.
Using your pen, fill in table numbers on the heart and fold up for easy viewing on your seating table.
Write in each guest name on the long end of the book mark - and you are done!
A sweet addition to any dessert table! Photos By: Caroline Drake Bringing a sweet menu to your wedding doesn't have to be expensive or very difficult. Cream puffs are perfect to serve at weddings, and bring the right amount of fancy, but are actually very easy to make! The best part is that you can make them in advance, and easily put them together for the big day! Pastry Cream Ingredients: You will want to make the filling first, since you need to refrigerate it for at least a few hours or overnight to set. We adapted a recipe from Baking Illustrated. 2 cups half-and-half ½ cup sugar (divided into 6 tablespoon, and 2 tablespoons) Pinch salt 5 large egg yolks 3 tbsp. cornstarch 4 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces 1½ tsp. vanilla bean paste (this makes such a difference if you can find it!) Pastry Cream Recipe Instructions: Heat the half-and-half, 6 tablespoons of the sugar, and the salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat until simmering, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Meanwhile, combine the egg yolks and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until the sugar has begun to dissolve and the mixture is creamy, about 15 seconds. Whisk in the cornstarch until combined and the mixture is pale yellow and thick, about 30 seconds. Pastry Cream Recipe Instructions: When the half-and-half mixture has reached a simmer, slowly add it to the egg yolk mixture to temper, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula. Return the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until a few bubbles burst on the surface and the mixture is thickened and glossy, about 30 seconds. Off the heat, whisk in the butter and vanilla. Pastry Cream Recipe Instructions: Press plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate until cold and set, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days. Pâte à Choux Ingredients: 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg white 5 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces 2 tbsp. whole milk 6 tbsp. water 1½ tsp. sugar ¼ tsp. salt ½ cup (2½ oz.) all-purpose flour Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 425° F. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: To make the pâte à choux, whisk the eggs and egg white in a liquid measuring cup. You should have ½ cup (discard the excess). Set aside. Combine the butter, milk, water, sugar and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring once or twice. When it reaches a full boil and the butter is fully melted, remove from the heat and stir in the flour until incorporated and the mixture clears the sides of the pan. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, using a smearing motion, until the mixture is slightly shiny, looks like wet sand and tiny beads of fat appear on the bottom of the pan (the mixture should register 175-180° F on an instant-read thermometer. Takes about 5-10 minutes on LOW heat. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Immediately transfer the mixture to a food processor and process with the feed tube open to cool slightly, 10 seconds. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: With the machine running, gradually add the reserved eggs in a steady stream. When they have been added, scrape down the sides of the bowl, then process 30 seconds more until a smooth, thick, sticky paste forms. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a ½-inch plain tip with the pâte à choux. Pipe the paste into 1½-inch mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 to 1¼ inches apart (you should be able to fit 24 mounds on the baking sheet). Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Use the back of a teaspoon dipped in water to even out the shape and smooth the surface of the piped mounds. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Bake for 15 minutes (do not open the oven door during baking). Reduce the oven temperature to 375° F and continue to bake until golden brown and fairly firm, 8-10 minutes longer. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a paring knife, cut a ¾-inch slit into the side of each puff to release steam; return the puffs to the oven, turn the oven off, and prop open the oven door with the handle of a wooden spoon. Pâte à Choux Recipe Instructions: Dry the puffs in the turned-off oven until the centers are just moist (not wet) and the puffs are crisp, about 45 minutes. Transfer the puffs to a wire rack to cool completely. (At this point the puffs can be stored at room temperature for up to 24 hours or frozen for up to 1 month in an airtight plastic bag. Before serving, crisp in the oven at 300° F – 5-8 minutes for room temperature puffs, 8-10 minutes for frozen puffs.) Cream Puff Assembly: To fill the puffs, use a bread knife, and carefully cut the puff in half. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a ¼-inch plain tip with the pastry cream. Cream Puff Assembly: Pipe some of the pastry cream onto the bottom half, then place the top on the pastry cream, and sift powdered sugar onto the top. Repeat to fill all the puffs. This recipe will make about 24 small cream puffs. Such a simple treat to make, that will "wow" your guests!

If embossing seems like a formality beyond your budget. Not to worry! It's a very easy craft to learn and will give your papers and packaging that polished look. This particular project shows embossed favors, but you can use the same tools to emboss your invitations, menus, programs, or save the dates! You will need... A craft heater, available at most craft stores. A jar of embossing powder, which will last you through hundreds of favors boxes and other projects, a stamp in the words of your choice and a white stamp pad. Step One: To emboss favor boxes, start by stamping the box with a very wet stamp. Take extra care to ensure the entire stamp has been covered before pressing down. You could use other colors but I love the look of embossing with white for a traditional wedding. Step Two: Once the favor box is stamped sprinkle a generous amount of embossing powder on top of it. Step Three: Use the heating tool to dry and heat the embossed word on your box top. It will bring pretty dimension to a simple statement. Step Four: Tap the extra powder onto a sheet of paper for re-use! -

Photo booths are all the rage at weddings, and why not? They keep your guests entertained! Here's our step-by-step guide to make your own.
Materials Needed:
Digital point-and-shoot camera Camera tripod Remote shutter release Backdrop PropsThe Camera - Place a digital point-and-shoot camera on top of an extended tripod at eye level, tunr on the flash (unless you're having a spotlight) and connect a remote shutter release so guests can take their own photos. As backup, have polaroid cameras on standby.
Photos (from left to right): This Modern Romance and Anjuli
The Backdrop - Pick a colored or patterned piece of fabric that you can hang. If you're having an indoor wedding, pin it to a wall, or if you're having an outdoor wedding hang from curtain rods, secure with rope, and nail into the ground.
Photos (from left to right): Shelly Kroeger Photography and Birds of a Feather
The Props - Go on a scavenger hunt! Look for props in your own home (like scarves, hats, glasses, frames). or make your own from paper (lips, mustaches, ties). Even provide chalkboards or dry erase boards for guests to write messages on.
Photo: This Modern Romance
The Location - Choose an area that doesn't obstruct the flow of the reception, but is still easily accessible. If you're having an indoor reception, consider a hallway or corner of the ballroom, or if you're having an outdoor wedding, consider next to the DJ that way guests can pose to the beat.
Photo: This Modern Romance
The Extras - After the wedding is all said and done, you're back from your honeymoon, and all the gifts are unwrapped and put away, go through the camera's SD card and save the ones you'd like to put into a scrapbook. Those memories will last a lifetime!
Project By: Victoria Hudgins
Photography By: Pictilio This 3-D heart bunting is pretty and a great project to incorporate some handmade charm into your wedding. Hang between rows of seats, behind a dessert table, vertically to stage the ceremony, or around the head table as accent décor. For a bunting of good length, purchase a heart punch from your local craft store. The small investment (about $10) will save your wrists from cutting hundreds of hearts out! You will also need colored craft paper, glue, and string. Stamp out hearts for the length of your bunting. Each section of the bunting will use two hearts. Once the hearts are punched, cut a length of thin string and begin gluing on the hearts. Lay one heart down (backside up). Center a small line of glue, then quickly layer the string on top and another heart (backside down). Measure a few inches and continue the process. Once all the hearts are laid and dried, fold the top and bottom hearts away from one another for a pretty 3D effect. Run the lengths of garland around cardboard dividers and tape in place as you go. This will make it easier to transport without getting tangled. -

Rated 4 out of 5 by Gingerh Great location, needs some attention
This was a great location for a BIG convention. Staff were very pleasant & helpful!
Rooms are comfortable and nicely equipped.
One exception here would be the telephones are confusing to use (perhaps too high tech) & multiple calls were cut off mysteriously.
The reservation system involved my having 4 separate reservations to book the 8 night stay...this resulted in several frustrating outcomes even though I was in the same room the entire time and they assured me they were all "linked" together. 1-housekeeping didn't come to the room 4 different days & I had to call for towels, trash, etc. 2-My bills posted separately and I didn't have one total on checkout.
While my room did not flood, my travel companions did and had to be moved so we weren't together. My boss had no water in his room the first two days while the system was repaired and several other friends had peeling wall paper with mold, sagging ceilings, and I overheard many similar comments throughout the convention.
I would say attention to maintenance & housekeeping should be monitored more closely. Several toilet seats in public area restrooms were loose, door locks were difficult & a few coat hooks were missing...just in the dozen or so stalls that I used!!!

Textron Marine & Land Systems Showcases COMMANDO(TM) Family Of Armored Vehicles At AUSA Annual 2012
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition -- Textron Marine & Land Systems, an operating unit of Textron Systems, a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, is displaying its family of COMMANDO™ vehicles in booths 7628 and 7643 at this week's 2012 AUSA Meeting and Exposition. Textron Marine & Land Systems (TM&LS) has adopted the name COMMANDO for its armored vehicles.
Rigorously tested and proven in the toughest environments, the COMMANDO family of vehicles offers a range of protection up to and exceeding MRAP level, unmatched on-road/off-road mobility and ample firepower. TM&LS offers three lines of COMMANDO four-wheeled armored vehicles – COMMANDO Advanced, COMMANDO Select and COMMANDO Elite.
COMMANDO Advanced armored vehicles are combat proven over 10 years, and are derived from Armored Security Vehicles used by the U.S. Army and other militaries in locations including Afghanistan, Iraq and Colombia. All COMMANDO Advanced armored vehicle variants offer excellent on-road and off-road mobility enabling them to operate in urban, jungle, desert and mountainous terrain. Crew protection is reinforced with a V-shaped hull bottom and 360-degree protection from direct fire.
COMMANDO Select armored personnel carriers include variants that can carry up to 10 occupants, and offer an enhanced combination of lethality, survivability, mobility and sustainability. MRAP-level 1 crew protection is built into all COMMANDO Select vehicles. Greater survivability, however, doesn't come at the expense of mobility. These vehicles deliver greater mobility than other similar MRAP-type armored vehicles on the market. More than 440 COMMANDO Select vehicles are currently being built and fielded, under the name Mobile Strike Force Vehicles, for the Afghanistan National Army. The COMMANDO Elite line features TM&LS' most highly-protected and capable armored vehicles. These vehicles feature a digital backbone, provide MRAP-level 2 mine-blast protection, and deliver lethality through multiple sensors and weapons options. COMMANDO Elite vehicles come equipped with drive train enhancements that make them fast and highly maneuverable in a wide range of environments. The Canadian Forces earlier this year contracted for 500 of these vehicles for its Tactical Armored Patrol Vehicle program. The United Arab Emirates also is considering the COMMANDO Elite for use by its Presidential Guard. "Our more than four-decade heritage of delivering trusted armored vehicles, going back to our days as Cadillac Gage, is the inspiration and foundation for these new generation COMMANDO vehicles," said Textron Marine & Land Systems Senior Vice President and General Manager Tom Walmsley. "Our versatile family of armored vehicles, proven in the toughest environments, give operators the ability to go almost anywhere and perform nearly any mission with confidence."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

2013 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ
The last major American Auto Show of the 2011 model year opens on April 22 in New York City. While the cars expected to debut there may not be the ones to set enthusiast hearts aflame, they will have a significant impact on the choices of thousands of car buyers in the coming year.
New versions of two mid-size titans will be on display for the first time. Chevrolet will show the 2013 version of its Malibu sedan. To underscore the Malibu's global significance, Chevy will simultaneously present the new Malibu in Shanghai, China.
Toyota may show the first new version of its Camry in more than five years. The Camry has been one of America's best-selling cars for decades and its continued success is crucial to Toyota.
Speaking of Toyota, the earthquake-battered automaker has more in store for New York than just the Camry. They plan to show the Lexus LF-Gh concept, which will preview the next Lexus GS-series. Also, possibly on display will be another version of Toyota's back-to-basics sport coupe concept, the FT-86 II. This one may be badged as a Scion.
As gas prices climb back to 2008 levels, several highly fuel-efficient vehicles will make their debut. The ninth-generation Honda Civic will make an appearance as well as new versions of the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio.
Luxury car fans will get some new eye candy in New York thanks to the U.S. debut of the new Mercedes SLK and an all-new Mercedes concept car.
There should also be numerous new trim packages and face lifts on display in addition to these all-new vehicles. The New York Auto Show should give car shoppers plenty to think about until the next round of shows begins in eight months.
