The blood type of a child depends on the blood type of the parents. Each parent/person has two genes that make up the blood type. Depending on which combination each parent has determines the different combinations that the child can have. For example, if the mother is AO (received A from one parent and O from the other) and the father is BO there is a possibility that their child will have one of the following blood types: A (25%), B (25%), O (50%), or AB (25%).

Brochure for "Your Jamaican Villas", which is a subsidiary of Sandals Resorts International.
This piece was the first step in a complete rebrand of the villas. In the past there had not been a clear direction for the brand and nothing tying the villas together. The main goal of this brochure was to have a unifying style for the brand while highlighting the unique differences of each individual villa. Additionally it was important that the brand was presented as upscale, but still very Jamaican and very fun.Graphic Design, Print Design, Typography2014
This infographic was created for the Spring 2012 issue of UVU Magazine. It is designed to communicate the impact of the school, it's employees and graduates have on the economy in the state of Utah.
Majority of information being presented had to do with the growth potential of money invested into the school. I really liked the idea of the money growing or being transformed. I wanted to find a fun way to illustrate that idea, so I ended up representing the school as a factory or a machine with money going in one end and coming out the other. I can't take all the credit for the idea,cause it's actually an idea I took from s Dr. Seuss book. If you know about the Sneeches and the star belly Sneeches you'll know exactly what I'm talking about, and if you don't know the book your childhood was missing out.Editorial Design, Illustration, Print Design2012
These logos represent the work I have done for Sandals on-property restaurants and programs (most recent), freelance clients, personal projects and student assignments,
The additional photos show brand /logo applications for a rebranding assignment for one of my classes. I chose to rebrand BC Surf and Sport. Originally the brand sold mostly surfing products, but over the years they have moved even more heavily into skateboarding and snowboarding. I felt it was appropriate to give the brand less of a beachy feeling, and focus more on a street style.Branding, Graphic Design2014
Annual viewbook for Utah Valley University.
This viewbook was the first and one of the main pieces for the universities annual recruitment campaign. The piece itself contained mostly important information for prospective students. Additionally the book contained profiles of current students who had unique opportunities while attending the university. The look and feel of this viewbook was then used as guide for a whole arsenal of recruitment pieces that were created as well.Graphic Design, Print Design, Typography2014
This press kit and annual report were created for the Sandals Foundation, which is a major charity and contributor to improving the islands and communities that Sandals operates in.
Originally I was tasked with just creating an annual report, but as time progressed the foundation liked the look of it so much, they decided to use it as an opportunity to create numerous pieces. So in the end the foundation not only had an annual report but also and entire collection of marketing materials and a new brand identity.Art Direction, Graphic Design, Print Design2014
Samples of the work I did for UVU's alumni magazine. The magazine was fun to work on, because it gave me the chance to have some fun with typography based on the magazine's wide range of articles.Editorial Design, Print Design, Typography2012
Club Sandals was created in an effort to give Sandals concierge level rooms and accommodations an identity of their own. Guest who upgrade to Club Sandals will receive perks that are not available to all guests.
From the beginning I worked with our team in developing a direction for the branding of Club Sandals, and before any of the assets were created I helped build a style guide that was then applied to all future branding and projects. For example, I created the main brochure for the program using all the typefaces and colors which had been previously chosen.
Additionally we created a secondary style to brand a butler level program.Art Direction, Branding, Graphic Design2014
This poster was created to announce the Peace and Justice Studies department's annual symposium about the death penalty.
It wasn't easy to represent the idea of the "death" penalty, because I was told to avoid any images the school may deem "morbid". Despite those limitations, the final poster was able to address the topic and make everyone happy.
Along with the poster additional assets were created using this design; Including digital signage, web banners and email blasts.Graphic Design, Typography2012
This package and it's contents were created as promotional mailer for a small clothing company I run in my free time called ParadeMaker.
For my final project in school, we were given the chance to choose our own project. I used the opportunity to focus on expanding my brand's identity. The project consisted of a large amount of time researching my competition and the message/attitude I wanted my own brand to portray.
ParadeMaker and it's designs have always been about getting people's attention in humorous or shocking manner so, for the branding of this kit I used images that went right along with that idea. Before the receiver of the box even opened it they would be excited. Then upon opening it they would find all the samples and goodies along with a personal letter addressed to them.Branding, Packaging, Typography2012
These itineraries were created for different Wedding bloggers for a special trip Sandals Resorts in Jamaica. Each blogger received a personalized itinerary just for them, so printing was done digitally. Additionally I created personalized cards that were left in their room each day that matched this itinerary.
After these were created the wedding department liked them so much, we were asked to retool all the wedding pieces moving forward to go along with this more fun and playful look.Art Direction, Graphic Design, Print Design2014
The assignment for this project was to find a type foundry and create a type catalog using typefaces of our choice from the foundry.
Often on projects I try to stick to typefaces that are clean and full of many different weights and styles, but I decided to use this assignment as a chance to have some fun. I chose to use these typefaces from a small foundry online that publishes vintage type that's been collected from actual old pieces. This particular collection is full of type and glyphs from the wild west. The type was a lot of fun to work with, and the glyphs that came with it were great for creating fun layouts.Graphic Design, Print Design, Typography2012
These cards were done for an assignment to create a promotional brochure of person, place, or thing of our choice. I chose to create this brochure about the artwork and personality of the illustrator Edward Gorey.
The cards are designed so that the front of them differ quite a bit with either info or an illustration, but the backs are all black with white text. The front of the card is where you'll find the important info, but the backs all connect to the front in a humorous way.Graphic Design2012

Rated 5 out of 5Â by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by loohis The most gorgeous fit and color! True to size fit. The color is amazing, true to the picture, maybe a tiny bit lighter, but still beautiful. Unlike anything I have. I love that everything zips off, the hood and the lining, and I am able to change the look of the jacket in an instant! With everything on this jacket, I thought it might be bulky, but it was sleek and the fit is comfortable. I love this jacket! 11.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by leatherjacket STUNNING I sweated this purchase bc XS was the only size remaining. I'm normally a size 2 (XS# but the measurements listed for "small" made it sound TINY, and it is an expensive item #plus duty#. But it is PERFECT. I'm 5'4" and 105 lbs and it fits beautifully #34A#. But there's certainly room across the chest for someone bustier. Arms are perfect length, leather is soft and gorgeous. And the colour is simply STUNNING. Unlike anything I've ever owned and I love leather jackets - but this one beats all others! Could not be happier with this purchase. Can be dressed down #with the hood# or up #without#. Colour was exactly as shown. Absolutely thrilled with it, well worth the money! Am now a big fan of DOMA leather. 5.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by aurora high quality leather jacket Awesome quality leather jacket! True to size and with lots of little extra details for the wearer (inner lining is read and black check and there is a thin yellow piping detail on the inside as well). The color and hood can be removed for washing (so nice because hair product and makeup often find their way onto the collar). Doma is such a wonderful brand and I love that Free People carries them, but very pricey! Good thing the quality is there. Oh and the zippers are high quality too. My only complaint was that this was shipped to me in a bag, which for a product this expensive was surprising because we all know how much abuse products can take on a truck. Also, it would make a return more difficult for a buyer, especially when an item is this heavy. 12.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Wanderlust7 LOVE Looking forward to cooler weather so I can wear this jacket. Absolutely LOVE this jacket! The color is amazing and exactly as shown. There is also a zip out black and red checkered collar which is kinda cute. I love that the hood and checkered collar can be zipped off. Sooo glad I ordered this jacket. I'll be wearing it a lot this fall. 8.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by travelingirl Amazing emerald! I just received this jacket today and it's the most beautiful jacket I've ever owned! It fits TTS. I'm 5'6" and 114 pounds and size 34DD. I purchased the small and it's lovely. It doesn't show in any of the pictures, but the arms have a beautiful striped (kind of like railroad stripes) pattern, and you can easily roll the sleeves up, since the leather is so soft. It looks absolutely amazing! Also not pictured, is that on the collar, there is a great red and black plaid lining. This jacket is perfect in every way. The pictures do not do justice. The color is as vibrant as it is in the pics. Buy it NOW!!!! 8.17.2012

Gear Review
Good warm fleece that sheds dog fur
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I know right away fleece and my best friend are, well, best friends.The knit on the better sweaters seem to do well with dog hair, in the right color of course. Also these sweaters are very warm and really too much so to wear indoors when the heat is on (in a yurt one might enjoy the coziness, but not in your office?) I size UP to make donning the jacket over a shirt much easier and just a tad better coverage (pull the extra sleeve over a cold steering wheel!) I also wear it under a shell a lot as it is not wind proof or rain proof... but perfect under a shell. I plan to use this item for about 7 years I hope. Get one, you will like it too.

Making Your Blog Successful By Having Fun
Blogging is a great way to promote a business or inform people about a cause. However, blogging can and should be fun as well. The keys to successful blogging are to post often and to make those posts interesting. You won't do either if you don't have enthusiasm for your blog's subject matter.
Since a blog can be about anything, you should choose a topic that makes you happy, one that will attract people who share the same interest. The ideal is to pick a popular blogging topic, but address it in a way that has not been done before. For example, if you blog about books, which is a popular blogging topic, try to do something that isn't all about book reviews, or "what I read this week".
Try to find your Niche, however blogging about a subject that no others will find interesting is probably condemning your blog to failure before you start.
Once you have your topic and are dedicated to posting regularly, at least once a week is recommended, you can establish a readership. To do this, you have to get people's attention. There are social networking sites that allow people to view and rate your website. Submitting your blog to Digg, Reddit, Twitter and especially Stumbleupon are good ways to generate traffic.
Keep in mind that these sites do not allow you to use them exclusively for self promotion. You have to be an active member or your account could be stopped.
In the case of Stumbleupon, it's important that you always provide something original and thought-provoking. You should ask yourself "would I stumble this?" Fifteen minutes a day on Stumbleupon or Digg, thumbing up or digging other interesting sites, can help you build friends and traffic to your own site.
Join blog rings with topics similar to yours. It's a good way to gain a following. Keep track of how many followers, page views and stumbles you get. Listen to criticism if you receive it. If it's valid, it might help you become a better blogger.
Making friends with other bloggers is also important. Read a lot of blogs and put your favourites on your links page or BlogRoll. The more attention you draw to other people's blogs, the more attention you draw to your own.
Contests are a good way to get people to pay attention to your blog. Giveaways generate excitement and interest.
Getting the most out of blogging is entirely up to you. For those willing to dedicate time and some consistent effort the rewards can be phenomenal.
If you are having fun with your Blog and seeing the successes this can bring, please share your experiences in the comments section below.

Canadiens-Rangers: New York Scores Six, Chases Carey Price in Big Win
Well, that was not to be.
The Rangers set the tone early, and I mean real early, when Brandon Prust challenged Travis Moen to a fight with both dropping the gloves off the opening faceoff.
In the scoring department, New York got on the board first when Yannick Weber's point shot was blocked by Artem Anisimov, who skated in for a clear break and a 1-0 lead. Montreal got that one back less than two minutes later on a seeing-eye blast from the point by P.K. Subban.
After that the Rangers blew the doors off the game scoring four more goals in the first, and driving Carey Price from the net in favour of Alex Auld.
Montreal looked slow, tired and demoralized for most of the first period and with nine regulars on the sidelines and two games in 24 hours, I guess that was to be expected.
The Habs had a little more oomph in the second and third periods, making things interesting on goals by James Wizniewski and Brian Gionta, before the Rangers put the game away with less than three minutes to play.
Final score: Rangers 6 - Habs 3
Habs scorers: P.K. Subban (8), James Wizniewski (9), Brian Gionta (25)
Rangers scorers: Artem Anisimov (17), Dan Girardi (4), Ryan Callahan (22), Marian Gaborik (21), Brian Boyle (21), Vaclav Prospal (5)
Game Notes
1. Habs showed toughness around their net.
Well, at least in the first blush of the game they did.
There were several plays early in the match where the Habs defense showed some rare aggression around their net.
Subban got the party started by tackling Prust after he was pushed into Price. Next it was Weber cross checking a Rangers player who got too close to Price after the whistle. Paul Mara too—a player who seems to habitually abuse opponents that stray too close the net—got into the action pushing, shoving and otherwise letting the opposition know that the blue paint was a no-fly zone.
These are actions which while sometimes earning your team a penalty, protect your goaltender and give him more room to operate. In addition, they send notice that your team won't be pushed around.
So as much as you expect it from a player like Mara, when you see smaller players like Weber get into the action, the words "team toughness" suddenly jump off the page and into reality.
2. Pop goes the bubble.
Did you hear that sound? That popping noise? That was the sound of the Canadiens bubble finally bursting.
This is a team that has gotten it done all season despite being weighed down by a truckload of injuries but last night it all caught up to them.
Playing without Brent Sopel, Jaroslav Spacek, Andrei Markov, Josh Gorges, Hal Gill, Max Pacioretty, Mathieu Darche, Tomas Plekanec and Jeff Halpern, inevitability finally caught up to the Habs.
The Canadiens, whose roster reads like an AHL lineup in recent games, played like an AHL team on the ice.
But again, given all that's going on with this team it's certainly not the end of the world. The only real surprise is that the Habs didn't fall apart sooner!
Last night's game goes under the "file it and forget it" category.
3. Subban is the Habs best defenseman.
With the Canadiens down by four goals in the second period and all hope seemingly gone, P.K. Subban carried the puck up the ice, through the neutral zone, past a maze of Rangers' defenders and straight to Henrik Lundqvist.
While he didn't score on the play he did plow right in Lundqvist, bowling over the Rangers netminder and drawing the ire of Michael Sauer. After a bit of posturing both players dropped the gloves but the linesmen stepped in before any punches were thrown.
I won't question the fact that Subban played "the game" a little there, waiting for the linesmen to show up before dropping the gloves. It was pretty clear that he didn't want to fight Sauer.
That aside, it was a great move by Subban to try to spark his team and it was the first time that last night that any Hab crashed the Rangers' crease, a favour they did not return in chasing Price from the game.
So while his move only served to make Subban even more hated by opposing players, his ability to agitate while skating with the best in the league is something the Habs have not seen since the days of Chris Chelios.
4. Brian Gionta is playing his best hockey in a Canadiens uniform.
With injuries to mainstays like Pacioretty, Plekanec and Halpern, the Canadiens need the rest of their veteran forwards to pick up the slack. Unfortunately for the Habs, aside from Brian Gionta this has simply not been the case.
With Michael Cammalleri continuing to look unhappy and frustrated on the ice and Scott Gomez continuing to look like he forgot how to play hockey, the Canadiens are ridiculously thin up front.
That is except for the captain.
Gionta scored the Canadiens third goal last night at a time when the Rangers were back on their heels. If Montreal had been able to capitalize on any of their subsequent power plays there would have been a very real chance of a comeback.
You could see that before Gionta's goal his teammates didn't seem to believe. After it, however, they played their best hockey of the game.
With a goal last night, Gionta now has nine points (5G, 4A) over his last 12 games. In addition, he leads all Habs with 26 goals this season and looks like he should hit 30.
So while players like Cammalleri and Gomez have been ridiculously disappointing this season, the captain continues getting it done with or without help. Just imagine how many goals he would have if he hadn't been stuck playing with Gomez for the first 15 or so games of the season!
5. The team is Price and Price is the team.
I'll make this short and not so sweet: the Habs go as Price goes. If Price doesn't play lights out, the team has almost no chance of winning on any given night.
This was the case at the beginning of the season and it still stands true with 10 games to play.
Last night, Price was certainly not to blame for the loss as the team in front of him, and in particular his defense, simply did not show up for the first 20 minutes. The Habs' horrendous defensive coverage and terrible turnovers meant that Price was pretty much a sitting duck.
Unlike he has done on so many other nights this season, Price was unable to bail his team out as they fumbled and bumbled in their own end.
So the Habs lost and lost badly and this is exactly what will happen come playoff time if Price doesn't stand on his head.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Montreal will go exactly as far as Carey Price can carry them this post season.
Standings and Next Game
Fortunately for Montreal they had a seven-point lead over the Rangers before last night's game. As such, the loss leaves them in sixth in the East with 85 points, five up on the seventh place Rangers and eight up on the Sabres.
Montreal missed an opportunity to inch closer to the idle Lightning and Bruins both with 88 points.
The Canadiens now enjoy a rare Saturday off before traveling to Minnesota to take on the Wild on Sunday evening.

I imagine this was the simplest game Tortorella ever had to plan for. Knowing that the Habs were ridiculously thin, and very tired from a hard game the night before, it couldn't have been simpler: attack, attack, attack.
They told the Habs from the opening faceoff that they were ready to fight. In crashing the crease they told the Habs that they were going to make their lives miserable, especially Price's.
The Habs were not able to bring any serious compete level until the Rangers put the game on auto-pilot. I still admire the Habs for not giving up but the camel's back was broken last night.
The good news is that the while the Habs aren't a terrific road team, the Wild are really not a very good home team.
Well said Kyle.
The Rangers came to battle and win and the Habs, well, while their effort was pathetic in the first can you really blame them?
I am still shocked that they played such a solid game against Tampa with this same AHL lineup.
The Wild are a beatable team and with a little regrouping the Habs should come out with two points on Sunday.
My big concern for this team right now, is Cammalleri and Gomez. Gomez is a lost cause, imo. He has been horrible all season save for maybe 10 games.
Cammalleri, on the other hand, looks more and more like a player who does not like the system and the coach that is implementing it.
It's amazing, because he actually looks like he is sulking out on the ice. He is not producing offensively and dogging it defensively. That is not a good combo and the Habs need his stick to be working come playoff time.
I have a question. Why did Martin start Price in this game? Could he not see this coming? Wow! Talk about feeding him to the sharks.
Don't get me wrong, I am and have always been, a huge Price fan. I also am not worried about this effecting his confidence, as he has shown this year he's got a duck back. (everything rolls right off it)
My concern is with the rest of the team. Everyone knows a team plays tighter defensively in front of their backup goalie, and if any game screamed for a defensive approach, it was this one.
Price should have been rested yesterday, and then ready to go on Sunday. I don't understand it at all.
As far as Gomez, I might be the only one on the planet not hating on him right now. Sure I wish he was putting up more points, sure I think he should be on the third line and Desharnais or Eller should be in his spot right now. Sure he has been disapointing this year, but I think Gomez does a lot more for this team on the bench and in the dressing room than he gets credit for. He is wearing an "A" right now, isn't he?
He was also the only one on the ice who confronted Chara about the "hit heard around the world" He is also, quite often, the only one sticking up for teammates in the corners in after whistle scrums.
I think the problem lies in Martin. I do like his system and his defense first mentality, but the man is so set in his system, it has become too predictable for opposing teams and boring for the Canadiens players.
On the Cammalleri front, I was disgusted with him last night. For a guy who sits on the bench pretending he's stick handling through defenders, you'd think he'd be a little better at it on the ice! Give away after give away, and it's been the same thing all year! No toughness in the corners, and his shots rarely are finding the net. This is a 6 million a year guy? He better get it together, or the boo birds are gonna find him VERY quick.
Excellent comment Marcus! Thanks for posting!
Re: Price, I too thought that yesterday would be a prime opportunity to start Auld. That being said, I can understand why JM chose Price only because it is a conference match...a four-pointer, as it were....whereas on Sunday it is inter-conference and so that points, IF lost, don't hurt as bad.
Re: Gomez, there is no disputing what he brings off the ice. None. He is a leader in the room pure and simple. My problem with Gomez is that he has to produce on the ice too, regardless of his salary. I just wish that JM would treat him fairly and not favourably. He is in desperate need of a shakeup and the Canadiens desperately need him to produce.
Re: Martin...you'll get no argument from me on him! I have said since his signing that I am not a fan of JM. He is rigid and old school and does not deviate from his plan, winning or losing.
That being said, you have to give him a lot of credit for the success this team has had this season with all the injuries. After Price, JM is the second reason for the team's success.
Re: Cammalleri...you are SO right. But there are two things with Cammy...first, he is not 100% right now...not even near it actually. The other is that he just seems to be sulking, upset, frustrated and has looked this way all season long.
I really think he is not a fan of JM's system and or the coach himself.
Like Gomez, this guy needs to start producing on a regular basis. Montreal can't just rely on Plekanec and Gionta to be the only one's pulling any weight in the top-6.
But again, despite all of these VERY obvious problems with the team, they are still in sixth overall...that is simply amazing to me!
The problem is that, right now, that would mean facing the Bruins in the first round.
Despite owning them this season, with the lineup so depleted, do you think Montreal can take Boston right now?
Great insight about the Habs!
I am starting to agree with you that without a healthy, rested defense, the Habs have to rely on a spectacular Price to win. You can't second guess JM for starting Price against the Rangers. That's like saying if the fox hadn't stopped to shit, he would have caught the rabbit!
They simple aren't getting enough offense from their stars except Plekanec and Gionta. The captain is a great example for the rest of the team, he just never gives up and the effort is there every game.
Subban loves to stir things up, very much like Chelios but he has to be careful of when to drop the gloves. When you play that way you make yourself more of a target for other teams which Subban is already because his skill level is so high with the puck.
Gomez is a leader on & off the ice so JM has to be careful with him. Gomez needs to get it going now for the playoffs because the Habs will need him to step it up big time in the playoffs. I expect that to happen because Gomez loves the playoffs. If Pacioretty could actually return for the playoffs without risking his future health, it would be a huge boost to Gomez and for the Habs.
Cammalleri is a worry. I know he has been playing hurt for a good part of the season but his "ME" attitude will not help the team. He too, must bring the "A" game for the rest of the season and into the playoffs or the habs simple won't have enough offense. I expect him to step it up and lead the way in scoring in the playoffs.
Jacques Martin has done a great job with all the injuries. He has helped the Habs defensive game to improve compared with the past but his system needs some adjustments for the offense. It is possible this is why Muller is leaving but he is also ready for a head coaching job. Alot of the ups & downs has to do with the personnel he has been given. The Habs are a very skilled, speedy team when healthy. The forwards have to use that entering the opposing team's zone and the players without the puck must drive the net to push back the opposing D-men. Too often this is not happening but when they do play like that they can give any team in the league alot of trouble. The Habs just don't have the size to play dump & chase or the cycle game like some experts think they should.
If they are close to fully healthy in the playoffs, then watch out because they can and will beat any team East or West. Like I always say "you can't hit what you can't catch" just ask coach Tortorella what he thinks of the Habs' speed. They are dangerous from their blueline out so keep them deep behind their own net if you want to beat them.
Thanks for the articles,

The Dons look poised to name their new manager by the weekend and Bassey knows Tuesday night's 3-2 defeat away to Oxford United in League Two may have been his final match in charge.
He said: "If it is my last game, so be it. I've done the best I could. We've taken three points out of a possible nine, which isn't really good enough. We have to turn these performances into results. But we could easily have taken six points from the last two games, instead of none."
Goals from Byron Harrison and Jim Fenlon had seen the Dons come from 1-0 down to lead at half-time at the Kassam Stadium - only for the hosts to grab all three points with two goals after the break.
"That summed our season up really. What matters is what you do in both boxes and we weren't brave enough where it matters," Bassey added. "Changes will have to be made. It's a young group and they're learning all the time, but they've got to be braver.
"Everyone's job is on the line. But we'll dust ourselves down and go again. I'll keep working hard and doing my best and if I'm in charge at Plymouth on Saturday, I'll do my best again there."

The Bachelorette
What Will Ashley Hebert's Wedding Dress Look Like? Celebrity Stylist Weighs In — Exclusive
As Wetpaint Entertainment was the first to report, Ashley Hebert and JP Rosenbaum will have a televised wedding later this year. And, now that the countdown 'til her 'I Do's' has officially begun, fans of the pint-sized Bachelorette star want to know one thing and one thing only: What is she going to wear?
If there's anyone who knows how to match a bride's gown with her individuality, it's celebrity wedding stylist Renee Strauss, star of TLC's Brides of Beverly Hills and owner of her own bridal atelier. Using her expertise, she gave Wetpaint Entertainment her prediction on what kind of gown (or gowns) Ash might wear on her big day. Call her the Dress Whisperer!
Wetpaint Entertainment: Ashley's very petite. How will that factor in?
I call a woman like that a pocket-sized bride. I see her in something very slim to show off her fantastic figure. Making sure the gown is very well fitted will be important.
She's got a great body and I can definitely see her showing off a little bit of cleavage. But she probably won't go with a long, sweeping veil because she is so petite and she won't want it to overwhelm her.
Ooh, tell us more.
I see intricate beadwork on the gown. Someone like Ashley, she realizes the power is in the details. I know she's a dentist – so is my husband. They're usually very artistic people, so she's not going to be interested in a dress that's too simple.
Changing gowns after the ceremony a big trend these days. Do you see her possibly doing that?
I could see her going with something short and cute and sexy for the reception, certainly.
In 2011, Ashley said her wedding dress would not be white. If that's still how she feels, what could you predict for her?
Soft hues of pink and mixtures of other pastel colors in tulle can be quite elegant. But just because she doesn't go with white doesn't mean she won't go with a lovely ivory, which comes in many shades. And I wouldn't be surprised if she walks down the aisle in baby blue. What bride doesn't want something blue on her wedding day?

Friday, July 4, 2014
The South Carolina Highway Patrol announced the graduation of 43 troopers from Highway Patrol Basic Class 94 on June 27, including two from Dorchester County.
Jess Driggers, of Summerville, will be assigned to Lexington County.
Jason Wells, of Ridgeville, will be assigned to Dorchester and Colleton counties.
Gov. Nikki Haley addressed the graduates for the sixth consecutive ceremony.
Haley told the graduates they will stand out in their communities and people will look up to them now because they wear the uniform of the Highway Patrol.
There is great power that comes with that uniform, Haley said. There is great respect, but that respect doesnt come from putting it on but how you act in that uniform.
The governor encouraged the troopers families to always support and encourage them so that they can be prepared for the hard jobs they do each day. Its in their blood to serve, Haley said. Its for that reason, they will be great at it.
Basic 94 brings the total number of troopers in South Carolina to 780. The troopers began training in January. They graduated from the Criminal Justice Academy on May 9 and continued on for specialized training from the patrol in all areas of law enforcement, including DUI detection, traffic laws, collision investigation and the use of firearms, as well as three weeks of field training. They have trained for 21 weeks and will begin another four to six weeks of field training upon graduation.
This class continues the outstanding tradition of protecting, serving and educating our residents and visitors of the Palmetto State, said SCDPS Director Leroy Smith. I remain grateful for the continued support of Gov. Haley and the General Assembly for funding us in a way that allows us to continue to place new troopers in our communities around the state.
You have made an investment in the South Carolina Highway Patrol and we have made an investment in you, Col. Mike Oliver told the graduates. You are our future the bridge from our past to our next generation. Thank you in advance for the sacrifices you will make to serve others.

Jacob Rivera
Kevin Feliciano
Marius Johnson
A major drug bust in Rochester sends a message to gang members: If you try to sell drugs in our city, you will face serious charges.
Three men are under arrest. Officials say they were leaders of a street level drug-trafficking gang called "M.D.B." Twenty-two-year-old Jacob Rivera, 19-year-old Kevin Feliciano and 27-year-old Marius Johnson are under arrest, facing a number of charges related to drug trafficking and weapons charges.
Investigators say even though these three men are off the street, they still need your help to keep Rochester safe.
William J. Hochul Jr. U.S. Attorney said, "We do continue to need the public's cooperation. One of the things that made the "M.D.B" case such a success was the cooperation of the citizens of Rochester. And as we get into the summer months, you are our eyes and ears. And if you see something, say something, and we as law enforcement will do something."
Getting three people accused of leading an open air drug market off the street was a team effort, thanks to a slew of federal, state and local police agencies and thanks to people who live in the area willing to speak up.
Just Thursday, Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard said he has faith the Rochester community can change the pattern of violence, if they are willing to get involved and more and more people are doing just that.
News10NBC went to the Dewey and Lexington Avenue areas Friday morning, including Broezel Street, mentioned in the U.S. Attorney's indictment as one spot where the "M.D.B" gang operates. News10NBC talked with a lot of people who live and work nearby. They all said enough is enough. They say they're tired of the prostitution and drug sales in their neighborhood.
Diane Argauer said, "I'm glad, very glad, I'm very glad. If it was the result of people speaking up which I understand it is, that is excellent. We need more of that. It takes neighbors watching neighbors and helping neighbors to make a difference in the community."
Diane Argauer says one of the goals of the Northwest Neighborhood Outreach Center is to empower people. For more information, click here.

Twin and different resolution for TV
I've been trying to get my TV connected to my Dell laptop (GeForce 7900S) using TwinView. My desktop resolution is at 1920x1200 and my TV is at 1024x768. The problem is no matter what I do I cannot seem to get the TV ton run at 1024x768 so the TV only displays a partial view of the screen.

Re: Twin and different resolution for TV
What would you expect to get instead of what you get now?
The virtual desktop is the smallest rectangle containing the 1920x1200 and the 1024x768 screen. *of course* this leaves an area that is unreachable. You can only avoid this when the two screens have the same height.
There are options to make the TV scroll through that area.
You can also setup two separate screens, each at the correct resolution, instead of twinview.

Re: Twin and different resolution for TV
Xinerama support is very important. I guess you want to use the TV for movie playback. When you have xinerama support in and you press the 'maximize' button on a application window (a window on the TV) it will maximize to the full resolution of the TV. Various movie players and so also support this when using the fullscreen option.

Re: Twin and different resolution for TV
Thanks for both replies. Seems like I got myself confused because i did not have xinerama support built in to xorg and KDE. That has seemed to resolve almost all my issues except for video playback.
video playback using vlc, mplayer, kaffeine, xine etc. is a little choppy on the second screen (at least not as smooth as it is on Windows). Is there anything I am missing in my xorg.conf that could improve this?
Also, vlc maximises to DFP-0 and not TV-0 when I select fullscreen even though it has xinerama support compiled in.

Research and Development Forecast of China Propylene Market, 2013-2015
- Language: English
- 50 Pages
- Published: September 2013
- Region: China
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms in Mexico face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms to Mexico? How important is Mexico compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms vary from one country of origin to another in Mexico? On the supply side, Mexico also exports polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms. Which countries receive the most exports from Mexico? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms in Mexico. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms for those countries serving Mexico via exports, or supplying from Mexico via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Mexico fits into the world market for imported and exported polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Mexico in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Mexico is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Mexico compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports of polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major country of origin serving Mexico. A "major" market is defined as a country where Mexico represents a substantially large share of either imports or exports. For each major country exporting to Mexico, one can thus observe how important Mexico is to that exporting country compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but for exports of polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms originating from Mexico, for each major country of destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that Mexico has in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of competitiveness for Mexico. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present a the total picture for imports and exports of polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms to and from Mexico to and from all other major countries in the world. "Polymers of Propylene or Other Olefins in Primary Forms" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms" is 5751 . SHOW LESS READ MORE >

Thyme - English - Thymus vulgaris
Hardy Perennial A short, compact, aromatic herb, thyme is a classic in any garden. It forms attractive, tiny lavender flowers which attract bees, and is known to deter cabbage worms. Thyme adds interest to soups, casseroles, pizzas, and breads, and also has many medicinal uses.
Soil & Water: Thyme can grow in most soils, but performs best in well-drained soil with moderate nutrients. Soil which is too rich will cause the plant to get leggy and lose its compact shape.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly pinch developing plants to encourage bushiness. Sow seed directly 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Thyme also thrives as a potted plant.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest leaves when the plant is large enough. Use fresh leaves, or dry and store leaves in an airtight container. Thyme also keeps well frozen.
Did You Know? Thyme is said to aid in digestion of fats which makes it an excellent complement for any recipes using oils and fats.
Soil Temperature: 60-70F
Planting Depth: 1/16"
Germination: 21-28 Days
Height At Maturity: 8"-12"

text: My Polish UF kit came as an A kit and is in perfect cond. Getting ready to build and I notice the finish wipes right off on the UF parts and trigger guard with thinner yet the rear cover and barrel itself has a bullet proof finish. Did they use two different types of finish or were maybe these rifles "refurbished" at one point over the years. Numbers match and all components are mint so it would not have been due to use!

Two-Minute Mayonnaise
Is king_cucaracha correct? More salt and more vinegar makes a thicker mayo? How does adding more liquid make something thicker?
Anyway, I only came here looking for an answer.. because I always make this mayo and it's fantastic as is, but I wanted to experiment with a different thickness. I was originally going to put a tad less oil, but worried the emulsion wouldn't work.

Idea of the day: One clear age requirement for renting a car
- Let the young rent. (Photo: flickr/thomaspix)
The minimum age to rent a car without paying any extra fees and extra hassle is 25 years of age. 21-to-24-year-old drivers can generally rent cars by paying an additional underage fee, and two states allow drivers above the age of 18 to rent a car by paying even more fees.
But the "general rule of thumb" — don't even try to rent a car if you're under 25. People joke about how you're able to vote at 18, drink alcohol at 21, and rent a car at 25. That's your gift for aging to that level, and most people accept these age requirements without any hesitation, doubt, or anger.
Yet should they? The car-sharing service Zipcar also has a minimum age, and it's far less than 25. Zipsters can begin driving Zipcars at 21 years of age and even younger if their college campus contracts with Zipcar — which more and more seem to be doing. Zipcar is actually targeting the college demographic.
Now, I know there are very real differences between a full car rental and taking out a Zipcar ... but is the difference really that significant? Both types of service involve a driver taking out a vehicle and driving it. Shouldn't these age requirements harmonize more than they are now?
I would suggest lowering the age to rent a car. Why should a car rental company only grant its vehicles (penalty-free) to divers at age 25 when Zipcar grants similar vehicles starting at age 21 or even less? That's a four-year difference we're talking about here, minimum. The origin of the difference involves, I suspect, differing insurance rates based on the rate of the drivers. Drivers in the 18-to-24 demographic are seen as potentially riskier drivers, hence rental companies are hesitant to rent out their vehicles for the same rates as to older drivers. It's the same reason a driver's insurance premiums tend to change when they turn 25. You see that difference clearly in Hertz — to rent a car through its default arsenal, you have to be at least 25 unless you want to pay extra fees; to join its Hertz Demand car-sharing service, you have to be over 18 years old. In Daimler's car-sharing service, Car2Go allows its Austin, Texas members to join at as young as 18 years, with special fees only potentially applied in the 18-21-year range, not in the 21-to-24 range.
But our society increasingly emphasizes this short-term rentership lifestyle, from Netflix to Zipcar to Capital Bikeshare, and if car rental companies want to stay relevant, then they should consider lowering their age requirements (said with the caveat that of course, in the end, every company should have the freedom to do as it wishes). Car-sharing companies aren't apparently suffering too badly for allowing 21- and 22-year-old drivers.
If rental car companies don't do so, then the onset of car-sharing companies like Zipcar could begin to dig into their territory. As I wrote about recently, Zipcar has partnered with Ford in a two-year initiative that is attempting to make Zipcar the go-to alternative for the transient college population all around the country. The car-sharing company will focus on around 250 campuses, increasing its presence and featuring 650 new Ford vehicles branded with the Zipcar logo.
Zipcar, rather than running from the 18-to-24-year-old demographic with added underage fees, is running toward it with discounted memberships and slick car-sharing brochures. Take note.

Bee Smart Montessori Testimonials
I am a mother of 3, soon 4, children and I would love for each of my children to be able to take part in the Bee Smart Montessori experience. My two boys have been enjoying it so much over the last two years. I can truly say it made a very positive difference to their development. They have not only gained great social skills but also gotten a great knowledge of the wider world. As a parent, I feel completely confident that my children are in a safe and positive environment and that the teachers are very professional but also kind, loving and attentive to the needs of each individual child. My children love going to Bee Smart Montessori and I feel that it is the perfect way to get them ready for school in a fun way.
- Eve Fagan
When my daughter started going to Bee Smart Montessori we had just moved here from the United States and had a new baby. With all these changes her development took a big step backwards. However, once she started Montessori her development sky-rocketed. She has been doing so well. Her speech is becoming clearer and she is becoming more social. She looks forward to her class everyday and never wants to leave. She has so much fun with all the projects they do and even has developed a sense of pride in her work. Vanessa and the others are fantastic with the children. Vanessa cares more about the children learning to enjoy education than getting her hands dirty. The children are actively engaged and intellectually stimulated during class, which is why I wouldn't trust my child with anyone else. Furthermore, I have never met anyone more passionate about her Montessori than Vanessa. She creates structure and order for these children which helps prepare them for school in the future. Overall, it's got to be the best Montessori in Ireland.
- Crystal Lee Murphy
What can I say about Bee Smart Montessori?
Not only is Vanessa great as a teacher, she has the best group of teachers a parent would be happy to leave her children with.
I had my eldest son Jesse in a previous place and he was miserable. He fought every day going in and I never got a smile when I picked him up.
Then I happened upon Bee Smart Montessori and met with Vanessa. She explained everything they would be learning and playing with, and the school was small, yet ample in size. There was such an improvement in Jesse within weeks. I knew I would send all of my children there.
The schools syllabus has certainly given Jesse a head start in primary school. I now have my second son, Alex, in the school and he absolutely loves it. He comes out beaming every day. I have my third son, Scott enrolled for 2011.
My children love Vanessa and her teachers, as do we. If you want to give your children a love of learning, which I believe this school has instilled in my children, I would highly recommend Bee Smart Montessori to other parents.
- Sabina and Michael Ryan
We are the parents of Ryland who is just completing his second year at Bee Smart Montessori.
What a wonderful experience for our son. Ryland is very happy at Montessori, therefore we are very happy. These are a few of the reasons why we like Bee Smart:
1 Happiness-happy teachers lead to happy students
2 Confidence- confident teachers lead to confident students
3 Professionalism-professional teachers thus smart students
4 Qualified and certified teachers
5 Clean and sanitized facility
6 Caring and loving teachers
7 Montessori- good educational system
8 Each child is treated individually
9 Noses are wiped, hands washed as needed
10 Clean washrooms
11 Children get play time outside when the weather permits
12 Zero tolerance for bullying
13″Of course Vanessa Sharpe".
- Marta and Robert Burns
There are many reasons why I have chosen Bee Smart Montessori for my daughter. First, because it came highly recommended. Second, it has a great reputation. The staff are highly qualified and have a wonderful manner with the children and I feel confident that my daughter is in a safe and creative environment.
She has learned so much in her first year, in fact I have also learned much from her too. There are weekly themed lesson plans with fun and practical activities also.I never have a problem getting my daughter into school because she absolutely loves it. She talks about all of her friends and she talks about her teachers; Vanessa, Fiona and Nora all the time when at home. I would highly recommend Bee Smart Montessori to anyone and I hope to have my other daughter start there next year too!
- Louise Murtagh

A Hot Rod Sierra
We make plenty of decisions on a daily basis, and some are more drastic than the choice of soup or salad at lunch. William Hood of Willis, Texas, picked up a bone-stock '01 GMC Sierra, and after cruising it around, he decided to customize it. He is an electrician who often works overseas, so the build began slowly, but William got hooked on the process and picked up the pace. As his enthusiasm increased, William decided to turn his mild truck into a full-blown show vehicle. He located a trio of reliable shops in the Conroe area, and that's when the ball really got rolling. (more…)

Beleriand (song)
Beleriand is a song by the Tolkien metal band Summoning. It appears in their sixth full-lenght album, Oath Bound. Its main theme is the arrival of Noldor in Beleriand
To north, to north there lay the land of dread
Dungorthin, where all ways were dead
In hills, in hills of shadow bleak and cold
Beyond was deadly nighshades hold
To south, to south the wide earth unexplored
To west, to west the ancient ocean roared
To east, to east in peaks of blue were piled
The mountains of the outer world
Unsailed and shoreless, wide and wild
To east in peaks of blue were piled
In silence folded, mist enfurled
The mountains of the outer world
Beyond the tangled, woodland shade
Thorn and thicket grove and glade
Whose brooding boughs with magic hung
Were ancient when the world was young

N.T. Wright
From Wikiquote
N. T. Wright (born 1 December 1948) is a New Testament scholar and former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England. He has published academic works such as The New Testament and The People of God, Jesus and The Victory of God, and The Resurrection of the Son of God, along with writings aimed at a more popular readership, such as What St Paul Really Said and Simply Christian.
The Challenge of Jesus. (2000)[edit]
- Hardcover ed. InterVarsity Pr., 1999 / SPCK, 2000
- Our task as image-bearing, God-loving, Christ-shaped, Spirit-filled Christians, following Christ and shaping our world, is to announce redemption to a world that has discovered its fallenness, to announce healing to a world that has discovered its brokenness, to proclaim love and trust to a world that knows only exploitation, fear and suspicion...The gospel of Jesus points us and indeed urges us to be at the leading edge of the whole culture, articulating in story and music and art and philosophy and education and poetry and politics and theology and even--heaven help us--Biblical studies, a worldview that will mount the historically-rooted Christian challenge to both modernity and postmodernity, leading the way...with joy and humor and gentleness and good judgment and true wisdom. I believe if we face the question, "if not now, then when?" if we are grasped by this vision we may also hear the question, "if not us, then who?" And if the gospel of Jesus is not the key to this task, then what is?

Disney Day Two, Part One-the day of Big Surprises!
Day Two at Disney started bright and early with a continental breakfast at Ariel's in the hotel. While we sipped coffee and orange juice (tastes so much better in Florida!) and munched on bagels, fruit, and the delicious pastries that the Disney chefs make, we had a guest speaker, a Mom from the Disney World Moms Panel. She answered our questions about bringing families to the parks. We also had two other Moms from the panel in our group, Darcie and Kim. They were like walking maps everywhere we went, they knew every park and all the best places to go!
After breakfast, it was time to board our motorcoach bus and head to the Magic Kingdom! It was a beautiful warm day with a bright blue sky as you can see from the photo in my previous post. When we arrived we were taken through a cast-member entrance and then walked down Main Street to a grassy area near Cinderella's Castle for a group photo. We had our own photographer take a big group shots and then smaller groups, I posed with my fellow Precious Moms bloggers Marybeth and Lori, but I haven't seen the photo on Flickr yet.
We then had time to explore the park, and best of all, we got MEDIA FastPasses, which meant that instead of putting in the FastPass and then having to come back at a reserved time, we went RIGHT ON the rides! I still can't believe it myself, but I actually rode Space Mountain, which scared the CRAP out of me! I screamed and screamed the whole ride! And my husband was bummed out because he's been trying to get me to ride one with him for twenty years
I was a little shook up by Space Mountain, so I passed on Haunted Mansion, but after that we rode It's A Small World, which I LOVE. After that it was time to start walking back, I ducked into a few gift shops to look for souvenirs for the kids, picking up some toy Flintlock pistols from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for the boys, a Pirate Princess Minnie Mouse doll for Kaitlyn, plus I bought Kaitlyn a crown with jewels and a veil, which I loved, but she refuses to wear. Oh well!
From there, we took our motorcoach over to Hollywood Studios (which used to be called MGM Studios) and ate lunch at the Brown Derby restaurant! The Brown Derby in Hollywood, CA is where the famous Cobb salad was invented, so of course I had one, as did several others, and we all agreed it was fantastic! We also had bites of two appetizers-crusted shrimp in a lime ginger sauce and braised beef short ribs on celery root puree-both were divine. It was wonderful to be able to order food like that without worrying about the bill!! We were joined at lunch by Estafania from Disney Imagineering, and when I saw the badge she was wearing around her neck, I figured out our next surprise!
We were told to bring closed-toe shoes and long pants to wear on Saturday, and we couldn't figure out why. It was because we were taken behind the Chinese Theater to a construction site, and we got an exclusive, as in, no one else who works anywhere at Disney besides the construction team has seen itsneak peek at the newest, most exciting Disney attraction coming soon…
Toy Story Mania is a 3D, interactive ride that simulates playing games at a carnival. The storyline is that Andy and his family have left the house, and the toys have pulled an old carnival game out from under the bed. The toys have each taken up a position on the game board and are encouraging you to play their carnival game. The dimensions of the attraction are such that you will feel like you are the size of one of the Army Men! The carnival Barker is a huge Mr. Potato Head!
You'll walk under a sign that reads "Pixar" and into a building to stand in the queue. The queue area is decorated with familiar games-the ceiling has a Chutes and Ladders board, the booth that gives out the 3D glasses looks like a Lincoln Logs cabin. I really liked what Rex (yes really, just like the Toy Story dinosaur!) said, which was that they can't eliminate lines, so they want to bring part of the ride out to the people waiting in line. Very cool! Once you come through the line and into the area where you get into the ride car, you'll see a huge Tinker Toy sculpture on the ceiling, and the walls are painted with book spines and the edges of board games, Andy's bed, just like you were on the floor of his room.
Each car has two people sitting side by side with two more people behind them, facing away. The lap bar in front of you has a controller shaped like a cannon, with a pull string. You use that to play each game. Your car stops in front of each carnival booth, characters pop up, tell you about the game, then you play. At the end, your car stops in front of a huge screen, all the characters come out, you see your score, then you get a virtual stuffed animal for a prize! It's going to be HUGE when it's ready.
I'll end here, because there are still two more COMPLETELY AWESOME things to tell you about that happened on Saturday. So please stay tuned!
