Every girl dreams of the perfect wedding, with the most beautiful dress, and of course, Prince Charming. Some celebrities are able to turn these dreams into reality with weddings that both cost millions of dollars and look gorgeous. From custom-made attire to venues that resemble paradise, these celebrity couples top our list of lavish weddings we will never forget:

1. Prince William and Kate Middleton:┬áUndoubtedly the most talked-about wedding of 2011 and perhaps the most anticipated ÔÇśI doÔÇÖ since Princess DianaÔÇÖs royal wedding,┬áPrince William┬áand┬áKate Middleton┬áhad a lavish wedding that will be very difficult to top. The royal pair wed at Westminster Abbey in front of 1,900 guests, while thousands more gathered outside to watch the┬ánewlyweds┬áride by in a horse-drawn carriage and kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. The cake alone cost $80,000 and MiddletonÔÇÖs custom-made dress cost $70,000. Overall the wedding had to be supported by the tax-payers of England because it cost over $30 million.
2. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries: The whole world was fortunate enough to see this wedding thanks to a camera crew so large that 50 guests had to be cut to accommodate for it. Kim Kardashian┬áand Kris Humphries wed in a beautiful vintage Hollywood black-and-white-themed ceremony where she helped design every detail. The venue was at a private estate in Montecito, California that is worth an estimated $20 million. Over 500 guests witnessed the ÔÇśI doÔÇÖsÔÇÖ under large white tents that were built to keep the wedding under wraps and to fit in with the black-and-white theme. LetÔÇÖs not forget about the wedding┬ádresses; yes, there was more than one. Each of the┬áthree gowns┬áwas Vera Wang and reportedly cost $20,000 a pop. The entire wedding cost anywhere from six to ten million dollars, but we wouldnÔÇÖt expect anything less from Kim Kardashian.
3. Elizabeth Hurley and Arun Nayar: Elizabeth Hurley and Indian textile heir Arun Nayar started dating in 2002 and waited to wed until 2007. The lavish and eight day-long wedding was worth the wait. Because the couple came from different backgrounds, their wedding was divided into two locations. For the British wedding, Hurley married Nayar in a beautiful ceremony at Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire where Elton John gave the bride away. The nuptials continued in India at a similarly-star-studded ceremony. Hurley wore beautifully embellished dresses and chocolate fountains were scattered all across the venue making this wedding unforgettable. The wedding cost an estimated $2.5 million.
4. Fergie and Josh Duhamel: This celebrity pair opted for a white fantasy wedding at the Church Estates Vineyards in Malibu. Fergie and Josh Duhamel exchanged vows under magnolia trees filled with thousands of white roses. The bride carried a bouquet of flowers studded with crystals and wore a beautifully fitted Dolce & Gabbana gown. The reception was held in a tent that was made to look like a forest of trees, with the ceiling covered in lights. Kate Hudson, Rebecca Romijn, and Jerry O'Connell were a few of the many celebrities who attended this extravagant wedding.

5. Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett:┬áKendra Wilkinson and former NFL player Hank BaskettÔÇÖs wedding was not only lavish: it was one of a kind. They were the first couple ever to wed at the Playboy Mansion other than Hugh Hefner himself. Of course, they had to make it special.┬áKendra┬áwalked down the aisle in a princess-style white gown and wore more than $100,000 worth of platinum jewelry by Michael Barin. The ceremony was held out in the open on a lawn where white rose petals and flower wreaths lined the aisle. Hundreds of guests, including plenty of┬áplaymates, watched the happy couple promised to be together forever in this beautiful ceremony.
Celebrity weddings will always peak our interest because of how over-the-top they can be. These five celebrity weddings were definitely lavish, but in the world of Hollywood, there will always be more that will top these. Stay tuned.

Don't miss Helen Chen, Monday, August 18, 2014 at 12:30 in the Peters Building. She will be giving the keynote at the Technology, Pedagogy, and Innovations Conference. (register here)
ePortfolios are more than just a technology: they imply a process of planning, keeping track of, making sense of, and sharing evidence of learning and performance. Using ePortfolios well requires embracing a set of practices and an understanding of learning called Folio Thinking. This session will make the case for "why ePortfolios? why now?" by introducing a framework for exploring and designing an ePortfolio approach to meet specific learning outcomes and objectives. Drawing upon emerging research findings and case studies from a range of students, disciplines, and institutions, this session will engage participants in exploring the practical considerations of implementing and sustaining an ePortfolio initiative.
Helen and her colleagues Tracy Penny Light and John Ittelson are the authors of Documenting Learning with ePortfolios: A Guide for College Instructors (2011, Wiley). She is a co-founder and co-facilitator of EPAC, a community of practice focusing on pedagogical and technological issues related to ePortfolios. Dr. Chen works closely with the Association of American Colleges and Universities as a faculty member for the Institute on General Education and Assessment and has served as an advisory board member for the Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education project and Quality Collaboratives: Assessing and Reporting Degree Qualifications Profile Competencies in the Context of Transfer.

The Harvest Is Plentiful The Laborers Are Few
PainterArtist FIN
Digital Art - Mixed Media
Wheat Harvest
The sun is shining in a cloudless sky
Strong winds are blowing hot and dry
The smell of summer is sticky and sweet
Fields are full of ripening wheat
Heads turn golden and then droop low
It's harvest time and it moves slow
Big combines turn into the fields
Like lumbering giants with spinning reels
They devour all that's in their path
Then separate the grain from chaff
It's augered to the bin on top
And when it's full then they must stop
Another auger slips into gear
And moves the wheat to a truck that's near
Then while they cut another load
The full truck hurries down the road
To the elevator and drives on scales
Check moisture and wheat with sample pails
Now dump your load with truck bed high
Then hurry back if grain is dry
At supper time a lunch is brought
Sandwiches, fruit, dessert and pop
Then long into the night they cut
'Til it gets tough with moisture up
This scene is repeated every day
Just work and work, no time for play
'Til all the grain is safely in
And this year's pay is in the bin.
Marjorie Maydew Bell wrote this poem about harvest. She has been writing poetry as "The Farmer's Wife" for a number of years. Borrowed from http://www.kshs.org

Can anyone help me find something like this?
loriafopianoFebruary 2, 2005
I'm trying to find something like the picture below to use as a towel bar, to install to the underneath of my upper kitchen cabinet to use as a towel rack. I apologize for it being so blurry.
Sorry this image is no longer available.
I'd like the bar to be able to swing down to hang a hand towel, but then snap back up and stay up when I take the towel off. I guess it would have to have a spring to do this.
Of course, I can't find anything like this anywhere. Has anyone seen something like this, or know if it can be made? Thanks for your help!

Had an amazing time, love the home.
Our family had a fantastic week at this camp! There is a really nice shallow area to swim, especially for the little ones but gradually gets deeper the further in you go. They also have a nice long dock that the kids can swim off of. Kayaks were available to use. We swam, kayaked,and paddle boarded off the dock. The kids were thrilled! The house has 6 nice bedrooms, the one with the twin beds having a great view of lake plus additional space in the basement. The kitchen & livingroom overlook the lake and they are a good size! Additional tv and air hockey were in the basement that came in handy for kids as well as adults since we had a few rainy days at first. There is a nice outside deck with great seating fir everyone and grill. Everything was in good condition. It was a comfortable stay. The lake itself has many boat rentals available which is a good option if you don't have a boat. There are several stores within 10 - 15 minutes. Overall we were very satisfied and plan on coming back again!

Latest Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital Stories
Southwest Virginia's leading healthcare provider now offers a free app to better serve patients with disabilities ROANOKE, VA, Oct.
A well-known paper-based medical chart used by pediatric emergency personnel across America is undergoing a 21st century boost in an collaborative effort between Virginia Tech's College of Engineering, Roanoke-based Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital, and the physician who created the original method some 25 years ago.
Corrections Police are investigating thefts from vehicles in Southeast Roanoke. The location was wrong in a story in Tuesday's Virginia section.

I've been using sync in my 08 focus for over a year now and its really quite badass. hands free voice navigation of my ipod is priceless and frankly a hell of alot safer then fiddling with the ipod to change tunes while playing it via one of those radio adapter or line in thingies. and the phone support is pretty nice too.
Nice try but that car is a Skoda Octavia [wikipedia.org] which is made by Skoda Auto not BMW. At the time of the crash, the car was going at nearly 90 mph which was about 3x the speed limit of the area. The driver was in the wrong lane and was intoxicated.

A Greenhorn's Guide to Shan Fan
Imagine what Chinatown is like wherever you live, then imagine an entire city just like that, and you've got a good picture of Shan Fan. Some people call it New Shanghai, or the Maze's City of Jade.
The city spreads out above Shan Fan Bay, with streets originating at the Waterfront and fanning out into the hills over town.
Shan Fan is divided into several districts. You'll want to be able to tell them apart so you don't end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Stinktown: Where the dirty work is done; slaughterhouses abound in this meat capital of the northern Maze.
Red Lantern Town: a wild neighborhood of saloons and pleasure palaces, where a miner can let his hair down and throw back a few whiskies after long weeks out on some God forsaken mesa.
Taeltown: Shan Fan's financial district, and the place where most of the triad's Bosses make their homes.
Splintertown: the heart of the northern Maze's lumber industry and the destination for millions of redwoods and sequoias from Kwan Province. The Uptown Hotel and Saloon (closed for repairs) and the Casablanca Hotel are both located here. The latter is on the southern fringe of the neighborhood where it joins the Taeltown district.
Prawn Valley: the odor of this place competes with Stinktown on a hot day. Fish of all kinds are processed for food and oil. Much of the city's Chinese population dwells here as well.
Three large islands sit in Shan Fan Bay—Angelfish Island (ghost rock mine – played out), Sweat Island (ghost rock mine – active), and the Isle of Ghost's Tears (haunted, naturally!).
Ang Soon Triad (Run by Chow Fat, the triad boss who assured Barbara O'dell of her safety. At war with the Gun Fo Triad)
Gun Fo Triad (You've run into these guys already! And they obviously know who you are. At war with the Ang Soon Triad)
Kang's Triad
Kwan's Triad
New Tomorrow Tria
Shan Fan Triad (The biggest, most powerful triad in the city; Boss Big Ears Tam runs the place!)
Inspirational Reading Material
Wow! Has it really been that long since I posted something here? With Spring Break right around the corner, I figure everyone could use some vacation reading material. And what better to spend your time huddled up over but some good ole wild west yarns with a healthy dose of strange, right? Thankfully, Jack of Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque has done all the work for me. And so here is his inspirational reading list for the Weird West.
Oh, sure. You're too cool to read an actual novel. "I only read books with pictu…err…graphic novels, Mr Fancy Pants GM Guy!" Well that's okay. Jack's list includes movies and graphic novels, too. So get cozy and get to readin'!
Here's a preview:

Ain't you got a purty mouth…
Alright, tenderfoots. I know every one of you cotton to "talk like a pirate day." But I've caught more than one of you staring at me all balled up when I start jawin' that ol' west lingo to paint some color on the landscape. Well it's time to go through the mill, young'uns. Before you go callin' me a fannel-mouthed blowhard, I think its time you expand your education.
Ok, seriously, if you understood all that, you're probably ready to throw down with the manitou and the dark things waiting for you out in the badlands. But if not, well here are a couple of links to help you out.
My suggestion, for those who care about such things, pick out four or five phrases and write them down on the back of your character sheet. Try working them into your in-character dialogue when you get a chance.

I love talking pet nutrition with Dr Patrick Mahaney. There is always something new to learn. This month, we cover the following questions:
Click on the link below to hear the audio:
When you think about it, our bodies, and those of our pets, are incredible machines. For example, these machines fix themselves (most times) when things break, and we don't have to eat precise diets to stay alive (not like my car that only takes a very certain type of very expensive liquid and my mechanic loves that my car doesn't fix itself.)
It doesn't mean though that all that we eat is good for us in the long run, and eating a better quality of food is one way we can improve our health without having to go to the doctor. It's very much the same situation for our pets, yet some people are still unaware that the quality of the food we feed our cats and dogs is incredibly important. Better and more appropriate foods really do make a difference for our pets.
This month, we are talking pet dentals. It's Pet Dental Health Month according to the AVMA so it's as good a time as any to talk about teeth and pets and why keeping teeth healthy is good for your pet's overall health.
In our podcast, Dr Patrick and I address the following questions:
What is the current status of dog and cat dental health - good, bad, or plain ugly?
Why is brushing your pet's teeth so important? How can you make it a positive and simple daily task if you're just beginning to brush their teeth?
What are some examples of instances when it might be best to forgo dental care?
Embrace friend and advisor, Dr Rex Riggs, talks about why you should go ahead with the expense of a dental cleaning under anesthesia with X-rays. It's needed people!
Periodontal disease is the most common disease seen in our pets. Think about it. If we did not brush our teeth, used no mouthwash, ate whatever we can put in our mouth including, for dogs, that tasty hors d'ourve, the ever popular cat turd, what would our teeth look like? Put on top of this chomping down on deer antlers, bones, and nylabones, and you get a lot of chipped and broken teeth.
How many of us have had root canals? They are a result of tooth root abscesses and they hurt like a mother. Dogs and cats have these same tooth root abscesses and continue to eat. They are great at hiding their pain. How they do that is beyond me. Did I mention tooth root abscesses hurt like a mother?

How many people use the oven meat probe?
Debating between a Bosch 800 series wall oven and GE Profile. Unfortunately, the GE doesn't have a meat probe for some reason in the 27 inch model. We are leaning toward the GE (partly due to the available Advantium oven to pair with it), but I am wondering if it would be a mistake to forgo the probe. We haven't had one with it to date with our inherited appliances so we wouldn't be "missing" it, but it does seem to be a pretty useful feature for cooking turkeys, roasts, etc.
You can buy one separate which is actually much better because when it goes you can easily replace it. I would not be without one because it enables you to be able bring whatever you are cooking to the perfect temperature. TW362B is one but there are others brands.
alarm thermometers
Our Electrolux Icon wall oven has a probe, and I love it. The integrated probe was a first for us, and we wondered how it would go. We used it almost immediately on a turkey and it was great. Very happy to have it.
You can tell I am not the cook in the family. I never even knew these existed. I have only ever used a manual thermometer. Good point on being able to replace it.
I used a remote probe all the time before we got the Electrolux, I consider it an essential piece of kitchen equipment. I like the probe that the Electrolux came with because when it gets to the temperature I've set, it kicks to "keep warm". And, I blush to admit it, but that Perfect Turkey button actually does give you a perfect turkey, or chicken as the case may be. It's been very handy.
I used to use an external thermometer probe until I got my Wolf L ovens. Now I use that probe, but I do have to say that plugging the thing in is a PITA. The Wolf manual says to pre-heat the oven first, then insert the probe. I have to have oven mitts on both hands to do it. One hand has to lift up the tiny little probe hole cover and keep the mitt away from the hole while the other inserts the probe in a tight area of 350 degree metal. It's not an easy feat fumbling around with my heavy-duty oven mitts.
Do others of you with different oven brands have the same difficulty I have inserting the oven probe?
Cooking certain foods like duck breasts can't be done without a thermometer and get a consistent result IMHO. Others are just done more easily. I use the internal one on my Gagg quite frequently and it plugs in easily with a display on the controls. Because there is no counter beside the oven, an external isn't an option. (Counter top is on the island opposite). In a second home, I use an external on a GE profile and it works just fine. Can't beat the convenience of the integrated though.
Our Thermador ovens have the probe that can turn the oven off when it reaches the desired core temp and is tied to some other 'smart' features - I assume that is the type of probe you are asking about. I've used the oven meat probe once in eight years. It works well, I just tend to be more active with the cooking and use a handheld commercial digital thermometer constantly. Maybe I should dig it out of the drawer and give it another try!

Rutgers researchers have shown that GPS technology is not needed to show where a driver traveled. A starting point and the driver's speed are enough.
In our constantly connected, information-rich society, some drivers are jumping at the
chance to let auto insurance companies monitor their driving habits in return for a handsome discount on their premiums. What these drivers may not know is that they could be revealing where they are driving, a privacy boundary that many would not consent to cross.

Lake Country Fire and Rescue loses $100,000 in contracts
Chief relies on entrepreneurial skills to make up loss
City of Delafield - Fire Chief Jack Edwards's skills as an entrepreneur is one of the reasons he was appointed fire chief in the City of Delafield in 2006 and was later named chief of Lake Country Fire and Rescue. Edwards acknowledges that those skills are going to come in handy during the next year.
Lake County Fire and Rescue (LCFR) has recently lost about $100,000 in revenue as a result of contract terminations. About $70,000 in revenue was lost when the Aurora Medical Center in Summit notified the department that it no longer wanted to pay a retainer for LCFR paramedic ambulance service. The retainer fee assured the hospital that LCFR would respond with a paramedic ambulance and crew within 30 minutes of the hospital's request to assist in the non emergency transfer of a patient.
Edwards said the hospital continues to use the paramedic ambulance transport service provided by LCFR. Aurora and Oconomowoc Memorial hospitals pay LCFR to provide nonemergency paramedical-level transport services for patients who are being moved from one hospital to another.
Edwards said Aurora has increased the number of medical specialties provided at the Summit hospital which has apparently reduced the number of patients they are transferring to other hospitals and reduced the need for the retainer.
The regional fire department lost another $30,000 at the end of 2012 when the Village of Sussex indicated it would no longer need LCFR's assistance in providing the village with paramedic-level emergency medical response. For the past several years, the village had provided paramedic-level services under the auspices of a state license issued to the City of Delafield paramedic program. The Delafield department received a share of the medical fees for those services as part of the licensing contract.
Last week, the Sussex Village Board approved the village fire department obtaining its own license to operate the village's paramedic program.
The revenues from other contracts similar to Aurora Hospital and the Village of Sussex have been a critical source of income for the paramedic program since its inception in the late-1990s when it was operated by the City of Delafield.
The ability to secure and maintain contracts was so important to the program that Delafield city officials listed entrepreneurial skills as one of the important qualifications for a candidate seeking to replace for Chief Allyn Swayze in 2006. Edwards believes one of the reasons he got the job was because he was familiar with the entrepreneur culture of the department.
Edwards plans to use the entrepreneurial spirit of the department to make up for some of the lost revenues. He said he will be in contact with medical specialty departments within the hospitals who have specialized medical skills that might need the support of a paramedic ambulance service.
"In the past, we haven't focused as much on the departments that provide medical specialties. We are hoping they may be a new source of contracts for us," he said.
He will also be on the outlook for surrounding communities willing to contract LCFR for paramedic services.
Edwards acknowledged that each of the three communities - City of Delafield and the villages of Nashotah and Chenequa - may also have to increase their payments to help fund the department's nearly $2 million annual budget.

Heating a hot house
Hello all,
I have become the new owner of an 8'X16' hot house that I'm filling with tomato plants that will hopefully get an extra few weeks come the fall. What does anyone suggest to heat this thing? The sides and top are the wavy yellowy kind of panes. I have a small portable propane heater I was thinking of using on low, but it will not be vented. I'm not really hot on that idea. Can anyone tell me if heated soil cables could do the trick?
You are thinking of using this through the Summer in zone 5? Cooling would be concern unless you can really open it up. IÂm thinking that the tomatoes must be planted in large containers so as to move indoors during September.
Unvented furnaces are used in commercial greenhouses and known as CO2 generators. Oxygen levels can build up so much when lots of plants are grown indoors that simply burning propane or natural gas (thoroughly) and blowing the exhaust around actually benefits the plants.
Charlie's Greenhouse Supply sells vented & unvented gas greenhouse heaters - pricy source. www.charleysgreenhouse.com/
I have a conventional natural gas forced-air furnace - essentially a garage heater that hangs from the greenhouse ceiling. It works fine.
I don't know about ground heating. It sounds reasonable but controlling the temperature of the plants would be critical. You wouldn't want 120 degree soil because it's below zero outside.
Think about putting some type of heater in an adjacent, insulated structure. Move the heat into the greenhouse using ducts and forced air or perhaps an on-demand water heater utilizing pipes. It would take some innovative engineering.
Here is a link that might be useful: GREENHOUSE CONTROL SYSTEMS
If this is just to protect from the occasional freezes in the fall, I think just having the area completely enclosed will be enough without additional heat. On days when you're expecting it to get down to freezing overnight, just leave it completely closed all day to build up as much heat in the soil as possible and that should be enough to keep it above freezing overnight. As long as you're 1 or 2 degrees above freezing, that's all you need. When it gets that cold around here (Denver) in fall I just cover mine with light weight blankets and sheets, and unless it gets VERY cold, they're fine.
If you still feel you might need some extra heat, I recommend you get one (or two) of the oil filled radiators you use for heating rooms in winter. I have one and it's amazing the amount of heat it puts off if it's turned up high---if used in a medium size bedroom and turned up high, it gets too hot! Just hook it up with a heavy duty extension cord to your nearest power source. They run around $40--cheaper on sale--watch Walmart, etc. That way it's completely portable and can be stored away when you don't want it and gotten out quickly if you do suddenly need it. And you could always use it in the house in winter if you ever need to.
Your tomatoes are planted in the ground, aren't they? Where are you located?

"Good book, great narration, other reviews off base"
First James Lee Burke novel I have listened to, and first review I have felt compelled to write after listening to almost 30 books on audible. I took a chance on this one as many of the reviews were less than positive on the story and the narration and am glad I did. Having spent all of my life in Southern Louisiana I thought I could make it through the dialect and accents with no problem but there was no need. First, the accent used in the narration is NOT a South Louisiana accent. It is however a great sort of smoky, slow, country wisened drawl that fits the lead character perfectly if not exactly accurately as far as regional dialect is concerned. I had NO problems understanding anything that was said and can only wonder if some of the reviewers downloaded lower quality audio formats which I find unlistenable regardless of the accent of the narrator. Finally the story does not move at an intolerably slow rate, but rather gives just the right amount of time to character and location development. This is a great listen of a pretty good novel don't pass it up based on the negative reviews for the above mentioned reasons.

Archive for the 'traffic' tag
San Francisco, 1960s
Richard C. Clark's father – also named Richard C. Clark – at one point served as the public relations manager for the Golden Gate Bridge, and as such had pretty much unlimited access to the bridge. Richard the younger said he recalls getting to go to the top of the north tower as a kid, thanks to his father. That access also meant that Richard the elder could grab photos such as this one, showing the traffic streaming onto the bridge (
we're guessing morning traffic headed south into the city nope, it's evening traffic headed out of the city, according to commenter Steve65). Richard gave us permission to run this photo, so spend some time with it and tell us what you see here.
New York City, circa 1969, part 3
One more from Impounded's set of found slides depicting NYC streets in about 1969. From the original uncropped vertical photo, it appears that the photographer is looking south along FDR Drive, perhaps at about the same location as the first photo in this series. Given the amount of space some of the drivers are leaving between them and the next vehicle, we're also guessing that traffic's moving along at a decent pace for the FDR. What do you see here?
Barcelona, 1960s
As far as we can tell, Eugeni Forcano was more interested in fashion and documenting Catalonian life than cars, but as we see from these two photos we came across recently, cars did at least occasionally figure into his work. Above, a 1963 photo without much context (presumably taken in Barcelona), and below, a photo of a 1962 traffic jam caused by FC Barcelona fans. What do you see here?
"Too many cars, not enough space:" British road congestion in the Sixties
Here in the United States, we've long dealt with road congestion by simply building bigger roads, among other tactics. Two lanes become four, six, eight, and more. In Merry Ol', however, they didn't necessarily have the space to expand the way we do, and this 1964 episode of Look at Life that we came across on YouTube examines the various solutions proposed for abating the congestion that afflicted England's cities and towns at the time. Interesting to note that 50 years on some of the same proposals have come back around again.
Los Angeles, 1955, part 2
We've seen versions of this Sid Avery photo, taken of an unnamed Los Angeles freeway in 1955 (we're guessing the 101), floating around the web purporting that it shows typical 4:30 p.m. rush hour gridlock (we most recently spotted it on Roger Wilkerson's Tumblog), but we think that might not be the whole story here. Recall from a prior L.A. carspotting exercise that the city suffered from a transit strike that year, specifically that June, so this could be the result of tens of thousands (or more) bus riders suddenly forced to use their cars to get to and from work. Whether typical or not, it still makes for a great highway scene. What do you see here?
Honolulu, 1973, part 2
For a few years and especially in certain locales, carspotting became less a game of Identify That Car and more a game of Count The Bugs. This Charles O'Rear photo of the morning rush hour on a construction-snarled stretch of H-1 from October 1973, taken for the Documerica project, tends more toward the latter game. What do you see here?
California, 1960s
Cruising through the LayItLow forums recently, we came across a thread of vintage street scene photos, most of which we hadn't seen before, though after a little digging, it seems the photos had mostly been harvested from other sources around the Internet. Two of them stood out for the variety of cars in the shots, neither of which came with a specific location or date. Given the traffic in the above photo, we can presume it was somewhere in or around Los Angeles, and given the hill in the below photo, we can presume San Francisco. What do you see here?
Los Angeles, 1953, part 2
After yesterday's videos of Portland's dangerous intersections, we recalled this photo series on the USC Libraries digital archive of a couple dangerous intersections in the Los Angeles area, shot in December 1953. Who taught these people how to drive? The first few are of the intersection of Lakewood Boulevard and Carson Street in Long Beach, while the nighttime shots are of Orr and Day Road and Firestone Boulevard in Norwalk. What do you see here?
Portland, Oregon, 1939
Just try not to cringe at the near-misses at least once throughout these films of various intersections in Portland, Oregon, uploaded by Dan Haneckow of Cafe Unknown and pointed out to us by Gene Herman. We've embedded one below, marked Sandy at 28th. What do you see here?
Los Angeles, 1953
The modern-day street view of the intersection of Venice and La Cienega boulevards in Los Angeles is nigh unrecognizable compared to this scene, snapped in 1953 from a street car trestle no longer there, as found on the UCLA Libraries Digital Collections. What do you see here?

Cloud Expo New York $500 Savings here!
In this CEO Power Panel at the 10th International Cloud Expo, moderated by Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan, leading executives in the Cloud Computing and Big Data space will be discussing such topics as:
- Is it just wishful thinking to depict the Cloud as more than just a technology solution? If not, then what concrete examples best demonstrate cloud computing as an engine of business value?
- Big Data has existed since the early days of computing; why, then, do you think there is such an industry buzz around it right now?
- Do you agree that cloud computing is basically to technology what credit is in the financial services industry, i.e., it enables companies to leverage capabilities that they don't own. Or are there better analogies?
- Do you think Big Data will only ever be used for analytical purposes, or do you envisage that it will actually enable new products?
- How exactly does the cloud enable companies to be better positioned to innovate around new products and services?
- Which of the recent big acquisitions within the cloud and/or Big Data space have most grabbed your attention as a sign of things to come?
- So, three to five years out, what are the cloud / Big Data markets going to look like?

Dining Room Remodel
This is an oldie but a goodie. A few years ago Abbey from Aesthetic Outburst made over her farmhouse dining room, which was covered in an awful muddy green color. But with the help of some paint, a thorough cleaning, a new stain on the hardwood floors, and a few great thrifted finds, this room is practically unrecognizable now. See the lovely 'after' photo below:
Dining Colors: Moody Blues and Yellow
Dining Room Inspiration
I was so taken with the colors in this dining room, that I wasn't even sure what to call it. Simply saying "shades of blue" didn't really capture the depth and richness of the room. I settled on "moody blues" because the colors seem to shift around and into one another for a very soothing feel, with just a little spark from the yellow.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Tunisia a democracy laboratory one year later
The U.S. futurist Alvin Toffler used to say that when a society reaches a certain degree of development, democracy becomes a technical necessity, not simply an ethical one.
This rule didn't seem to apply to the Arab world. Industrialization failed, "modernity" arrived late due to colonization, and when the democratic wave destroyed dictatorships in Latin America and Eastern Europe, it seemed without effect in North Africa and the Middle East.
Racists pointed to the wrong cause for this phenomenon, citing cultural specificity.
The blockage was instead mainly due to external influences, above all Israel's conflict with the Palestinians and the support Western powers gave to dictators. In return, these regimes were mandated to defend the West's interests in terms of security and access to oil.
Despite these obstacles, Arab societies have grown ever more complex during the past 50 years, and the technical necessity Toffler spoke of eventually broke down all obstacles in the way of democracy -- even the Western support for dictatorships.
Today, democratization progresses in different forms and at different speeds throughout the Arab world. In Syria, it is coming at a terrible human cost and in the context of a global and regional struggle for power; in Tunisia and Egypt, with a very limited degree of outside help; in Libya, with direct intervention.
However different the mechanisms and paths, all Arab dictators will fall, probably within the next 10 years.
Once freed from dictatorship, Arab societies will go through a phase of instability that may be more or less violent and will last for many years. Some countries may very well fall into chaos and go back to another form of authoritarian regime. Others will become advanced democracies.
To succeed, they must overcome two types of challenges. The first is the political requirement for reconciliation and compromise among the two components of Arab societies today. These are the conservatives, focused on identity and represented by Islamists, and the secular -- largely Westernized -- modernists, represented by parties that are broadly categorized as democratic. The latter are an assemblage of liberals, former socialists, former nationalists and pan-Arab nationalists.
The second challenge is social and economic. This one is essentially based on a relentless battle against corruption and the establishment of an economy that must be oriented toward solidarity, departing from the ultra-free-market liberal model that would benefit only the Westernized elites.
Tunisia is presently the best-placed Arab Spring country to win this double challenge.
Despite the initial jolts inherent in any transition period, Tunisians have established a government, led by a coalition of moderate secularists and moderate Islamists. The constitution being prepared will result from a wide consensus that will guarantee the valuable durability for the document.
The social and economic challenge is more difficult for Tunisia to resolve because the level of expectation among the least-advantaged parts of the population is very high, and resources are scarce.
That said, as soon as the constitution has been voted into law and presidential and parliamentary elections have taken place -- all before the end of this year -- Tunisia will be able to tackle this second challenge, too, thanks to its numerous assets.
Tunisia has an educated population, human resources (in terms of the qualifications and availability of the labour force), numerous local entrepreneurs who are ready to invest, plus the help and friendship of the United States, Europe and the Gulf countries.
It also enjoys the absence of external enemies and of any real spread of Salafism, which for now threatens the country's image more than its stability.
Tunisia is a real laboratory of democracy. The success of the Tunisian experiment will have a very positive impact on the entire Arab world. Today, the motto of Tunisians is the following: We have only two options, to succeed or to succeed.
Moncef Marzouki is president of the Republic of Tunisia and was a dissident under the regime of former dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
