Palacios Beacon, July 25,
This event was of more than usual interest because of the social prominence of the young lovers. The setting for the wedding was more than beautiful, for the church was decorated in a lavish manner with natural flowers and palms, chrysanthemums forming the motif for the decorative scheme. The altar was a dream on a background of palms while in front tall candlesticks held the gleaming candles. The end of each pew supported a large chrysanthemum and as the bridal procession came from the front of the church, it passed under thee white arches, a large white wedding bell being suspended from the top of each. The contrasting colors were gorgeous and the thought came that some good fairy had dabbled a great paint brush on a gigantic palette and splashed a rainbow of colors that glistened and gleamed under the luminous lights. While the guests were assembling, Miss Emily Jane Allen sang "I Love You Truly," then taking the violin played softly, accompanied by Mrs. Harry Austin Clapp on the piano, swinging into the wedding march as the bridal party appeared at the church door. The procession, headed by four ushers, followed by the flower girls, Misses Jedie Frank Chiles and Violet Harris, wearing green georgette crepe. These two scattered natural sweetpeas on the carpet. Junior bridesmaids were Misses Anna Dell English and Marie English, wearing pink georgette crepe. Bridesmaids, Misses Louise English and Vivian Hewitt, with blue georgette crepe. Maid of honor, Miss Patsy English, in orchid georgette crepe, and matron of honor, Mrs. L. H. McCune, wearing yellow georgette crepe. The bride, who entered on the arm of her father, wore an exquisite creation of white chiffon crepe, trimmed with white velvet silver outlined leaves. The long wedding veil was embroidered in silver and fastened with a bandeau of orange blossoms. In her arms she carried an immense shower bouquet of roses. Master Turner English, two years of age, dressed in white silk velvet, followed the bride, bearing the ring and he kept his promise for he said, "I'll take the ring to Mac."
As the bridal party formed about the altar, the lights in the body of the church were darkened and concealed spot lights illuminated the pretty scene.
Mr. L. H. McCune served as best man while Messrs. Fleming Chiles, Sidney Richman, Pat Richman and Verne Bowers served as ushers.
After the ceremony a reception was held in the church parlors where those present gave bride and groom hearty congratulations and wishes for a long and happy married life.

Falls, who performed the marriage ceremony. The bride wore a beautiful and becoming sand colored traveling suit with hat, gloves and shoes en-suit, and carried a lovely shower bouquet of roses and pink carnations.

Then to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march, the bridal party left the church for the Southern Pacific depot where they took the train for Houston. After a short stay there they will go to Markham where the groom has a new home just completed waiting for his bride.
The bride never looked prettier than she did in her going away gown of blue taffeta, tailored, with lace blouse, tailored hat and all accessories to match and carried LaFrance roses and ferns showered with valley lilies.
A large crowd followed the newly married couple to the depot where they were well showered with rice and old shoes.

The initial spring wedding and one of the most beautiful appointed home weddings that ever took place in Bay City, was that of Miss Elizabeth Hawkins and Mr. Michael Murphy last evening at the beautiful home of the bride, the ceremony being performed at 10 o'clock by Rev. John Sloan in the presence of relatives and a few most intimate friends.
The handsome interior of the home, artistically embellished with a dainty bridal motif in pink and white, carried out in a profusion of pink and white carnations, sweet peas, ferns and palms, formed a lovely setting for the event.
The cheerful glow from the broad fireplaces gave an additional touch of beauty to the scene, and in the dining room were displayed the many beautiful gifts. The dining room table, overlaid with handsome embroidered cloth, held an exquisite apern of Bohemian cut glass, filled with mints and confections, and the mantels were banked with ferns and palms.
The ceremony was performed in the parlor before a graceful embankment of palms and ferns.
The lovely melody of Lohengrin's Bridal Chorus, played by Miss Marguerite Hamilton, heralded the approach of the bridal party.
The groom and his best man, Mr. Rowland Rugeley, uncle of the bride, entered first, and awaited the bride, who entered on the arm of her uncle and guardian, Mr. Henry Rugeley, who gave her away.
The bridal toilette was an exquisite creation of white embroidered tulle over pale green satin, pink rosebuds extending down the front and around the skirt, made in quaint empire mode, the bride never looking more sweet and girlish than on this occasion. An antique pearl necklace was the only ornament worn, and she carried an arm cluster of American Beauty roses.
Following the ceremony the happy pair were recipients of hearty congratulations, and a most delectable three-course supper was served.
Mr. and Mrs. Murphy left over the Frisco for a short trip, their destination being known only to themselves, the bride wearing a suit of blue silk crepe with a most becoming black chapeau.

Miss Ruth Stainbrook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stainbrook, and Mr. Maurice Nelson, both widely-known and most popular young people of this city, were married Wednesday (St. Valentine's Day) at the home of the bride's parents by Dr. J. P. Green, pastor of the Presbyterian church. On account of the serious illness of the bride's mother, the wedding was entirely private.
The bride is one of the especially esteemed and admired young ladies of the city, whose friends are limited only by those who know her. Mr. Nelson is one of the prominent young men of the city and a prosperous contractor. A neat home has just been built for Mr. and Mrs. Nelson on Morton avenue which they will occupy after March 1st, as stated in the announcement cards which have been sent out.
This wedding was celebrated under especially trying conditions. The mother of the bride has been most seriously ill for some weeks, and it had been the preference of the young people to defer the wedding until the result of the mother's illness was known. But it had been Mrs. Stainbrook's special request that the wedding should not be deferred, and expressed the wish that the wedding should occur while she was yet living, and it was at her bedside that the ceremony was performed. Mrs. Stainbrook, at last reports was still very low, and the physicians hold out only the faintest hope that she may recover.
This is an instance where both sympathy and congratulations go together and to the young people the Beacon and all their many other friends extend their sincerest and most earnest well wishes for their happiness, prosperity and long life, at the same time expressing to the family their deep sympathy in the sorrow which rests upon the household.

A wedding of much interest to Palacios occurred in Houston Saturday night, and when the news came that Ruth and J. A. were married we were surprised and we were not surprised, for we had long expected it, yet they had kept their plans so much to their selves that not even their closest friends suspected it was so near at home.
Ruth, accompanied by Miss Louise Partain, went up to Houston Saturday afternoon, where they were met by J. A. and Sterling Smith, and they immediately went in search of Rev. H. A. Echols, who performed the ceremony. After the nuptial vows had been taken the folks back home were notified by land [long] distance.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Skinner of this city, and is one of our most beloved girls. She graduated from the Palacios High School in 1921 and for the past six years has been an efficient assistant at the post office. She was ever pleasant, sociable and accommodating and her greeting smile will be missed by all the patrons of Uncle Sam's mail. She was a favorite in church and social circles and her place among the young folks will be hard to fill.
J. A. is a home boy too, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Partain but has been in Houston for a number of years and holds a good position with the Hughes Tool Co. He had an apartment all ready for his bride when she arrived and where they are now at home ready to receive their friends.
The marriage of these young people culminates a romance begun during their school days.

Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hunter announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Margaret, to Alton S. Queen, which took place Friday night, Rev. Chas. E. Metcalfe officiating. Immediately after the ceremony the happy young couple left for parts unknown for a short honeymoon. The bride left Sunday for Gonzales to resume her work there in a café and the groom returned to A. & M. College to continue his school work.
These are two of our most energetic young people, and have a host of friends who wish them unbounded success on their life's journey and that joy and happiness may attend them throughout.

- Abstract
- We investigate the electron spin effect on quantum states and magnetoconductance in a magnetic quantum antidot with inhomogeneous distribution of the magnetic field. It is shown that the interaction of the electron spin with the inhomogeneous magnetic field results in further splitting of the energy levels. The predicted value of the splitting is closely related to the angular momentum quantum number and the parameters of the magnetic quantum antidot. Spin-dependent magnetoconductance is very different from that in the case where the spin effect is not included. More and shallower dips appear in the spin-dependent magnetoconductance spectra.

OK I know this thread is old but I have some helpful information I think might help:
1. If you want to use kreds to purchase you have to open the game with Firefox or Chrome. Internet Explorer causes problems from what I heard and using other browsers might also cause problems because as much as I know no one really tested it (or at least didn't tell anyone about it).
2. I'm not sure about it but I once read somewhere that having the "remember me" box at the login checked might cause problems. So if you still have problems try logging off and then logging on with that box unchecked.
Not anything i'm familiar with, do you have the latest Java installed? if not it might be the source of your problem.
If not just let it download for a few hours and see if there's any progress.

I don't stereotype, I use IE 9 myself. But some people have XP and they can't use IE 9, and IE 8 can't really compete with the latest versions of chrome or firefox which are available for windows XP.
Besides he didn't say which IE it was so it could be IE 6 as much as I know.

Spiral Knights won't load.
Try following the steps in this guide , it might help.
Also the game is about 600Mb so if it's your first time don't be surprised if it takes some time to finish downloading.
Important note: This method only works if you already have the game saved on your PC, if it's your first time playing the game you'll need to download the game the normal way once.
So I know everyone on Kongregate have been experiencing slow download speeds. Here is a guide to avoid the long update times:
1. Create a new shortcut.
2. Right click on the shortcut and choose Properties.
3. In the "Target:" line add change the existing text to: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -jar getdown-pro.jar .
4. In the "Start in:" line change the existing text to:
On Windows 7: C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\LocalLow\spiral
On Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(Your Username)\Application Data\spiral
4.1 In the (Your Username) space you should fill the username you use to log into your computer, that will be the name of that folder.
5. When there is a new update run that shortcut and let it update the game.
6. It will open a new game afterwards, but if you wish to log in via your Kongregate account you still need to do it throught the Kongregate page. The game should already be updated at this point.
Alternate method: Launch the game from here and once you exit it will suggest to create a shortcut on your desktop. (It's much easier, but can't be done when there's already an update because you'll need to update the game before it lets you launch it)

Marketing Minute/ History
Learn from our mistakes, repeat our victories
By Jeff Pinyot
The other night, one of my children asked me why history is so important. I said profoundly, "History is important so that we learn not to repeat our mistakes." Ever since saying that, I thought of how incomplete my statement was. Yes, it is true, but there is so much more to it.
My wife, my oldest son, and I went to see the movie "Lincoln" the other night. Despite wondering whether had the movie come out a few weeks before the election, might it have swayed voting from one party to another, it was a wonderful depiction of a determined, focused man, who had a lofty goal of ending slavery and an "honest" vision.
President Lincoln wasn't alone in crafting the vision and determination of the Abolitionists. They were a group of individuals with high character who for decades were preparing the way for the right man able to bring the "Dream" home.
It's funny, unless I am so unique and different from the rest of you: I left the movie having to reflect on my own character. Would I have had the determination to follow through with my vision against such odds? Would I have figured out that it was indeed my purpose for being created in order that I could step up at the right time to end such an injustice against a truly equal race?
I wondered, when Abe was a child wandering through Indiana and Illinois, if he had even an inkling that one day he would be the keystone to changing millions of lives and history.
I love Lincoln. It wasn't easy being Lincoln. More than 600,000 Americans lost their lives in the Civil War. The war was so bloody and deadly that the death toll from the Battle of Gettysburg alone nearly matched that of the U.S. casualties in the entire Vietnam War. The Civil War casualties eclipsed those of WWI and WWII combined. Mothers and fathers hated Lincoln for the loss of their beloved children's lives.
History is valuable for more than just learning from our mistakes; it is also a tool for repeating our victories. As a nation that personally failed a valuable and God-created race, it's no wonder that Americans will sacrifice anything and everything so as to not repeat our mistake of the past.
Our armed forces are scattered around the globe, protecting valuable human beings from being slaughtered because of their religion, dialect, clan, skin color, political positions, and for many other reasons. We are a nation determined to not repeat our mistakes and to stand up for injustice, even to the grave.
In our businesses, what can we learn from history? Can we learn only from our mistakes, or can we learn to repeat and pattern our
past successes?
As we find ourselves in the first quarter of 2013, I would challenge you to reflect back on 2012 to see what worked and what didn't work. I doubt that you will be called upon to pay the ultimate sacrifice that Lincoln and others paid, but how far are you willing to go? Whom will you fight for today? For what purpose were you created?

An NUI Galway researcher have been awarded a Gold Medal at the Young European Arena of Research for his work developing systems for pedestrian identification.
Winterlich's research involves the development of mathematical techniques which can be used to measure the quality of images produced by safety-related cameras found in modern cars.
"Once we can describe image and video quality by means of a 'number' we can then develop and evaluate techniques which will improve image quality by compensating for distortions that occur due to slight imperfections in the cameras or due to compression of the video images," says Winterlich.
This is a topic of increasing importance in the automotive industry due to the growing use of car-mounted camera systems for driver assistance and other applications such as automatic pedestrian detection.

Pluto is not a "once planet" despite decrees by four percent of the IAU, most of whom are not planetary scientists. Pluto is a planet, period.
The IAU should take responsibility for the highly flawed definition adopted in 2006. However, the IAU should not be viewed as the sole authority on the definition of planet. Many planetary scientists do not belong to the IAU. Should they not have a say in this matter? Something does not become fact simply because a tiny group that calls itself an authority says so. It is significant that hundreds of planetary scientists led by New Horizons Principal Investgator Alan Stern immediately signed a formal petition opposing the IAU definition.
There are other venues through which a planet definition can be determined, such as last year's Great Planet Debate at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab.
On behalf of Pluto, Laurel, thank you for a spirited defense.

Alex Neary is nanny to 2 1/2-year-old Henry, who she calls "the world's coolest kid." I'd guess he has some pretty great things to say about her, too.
The Toronto pair have collaborated on a fantastic photo project called, "Henry's Concepts." Alex, who is also a professional photographer, describes how the series came to be on her Web site, writing, "One day he turned to me and said, 'Alec, take a photo of me like this.' The pose he chose was…interesting. He then declared that he wanted to take a photo of me doing the same pose. It was right then and there a lightbulb went off and 'Henry's Concepts' was born."
The creative poses and colorful locations are completely Henry's ideas, she reveals. She'll snap a picture of him using her iPhone, then they'll swap places. The results are sometimes funny, sometimes gorgeous, and always entirely lovely. See for yourself…
What kid wouldn't love a project like this?
Henry's not the only one having fun: "He makes me laugh the entire time I'm around him and forces my inner child to come out and play. We run barefoot in the park, get dirty in the mud, jump in puddles and lay in the sun" Alex writes. "We shake our booties and twist and shout. We go on bear hunts in the jungle. We sit on benches, drink coffee and people watch. We pick flowers, chase birds and try to climb trees. We go to Neverland every day."
That's what Henry's Concepts makes me remember, and it's something I can lose sight of when I get all caught up in the day-to-day of bringing up my babies: How fun, and how easy, it can be to just spend time with a child.
Be sure to visit Alex's Facebook and Instagram to see more of her adventures with Henry, along with her other beautiful work.

HED Ardennes Plus FR Road Wheelset - Clincher
Retail Price: $1350.00buy now
Our Price: $944.99
Our Price: $944.99
Sitting atop the pile of HED's alloy wheels is the Ardennes FR Plus Clincher Wheelset. At a massive 25mm wide, and under 1500 grams for the set, it establishes a new benchmark in the realm of aluminum clinchers. They get all of the details that you'd expect, such as Sapim bladed spokes, titanium skewers, and a grease port at the rear hub. And when you factor in the superior braking of an aluminum rim, this wheelset proves that carbon fiber isn't the only option for taking your wheels into the 21st century. Wide rims have become standard for road use over the past few seasons, and HED's C2 rim shape has been at the forefront of this. The Plus FR takes this trend a step further by upping the width of the scandium alloy rim by two millimeters, to 25mm. The upshot is that you get more of the same traits that are relegating narrow rims to the antique bin. Namely, better grip and faster rolling through an improved tire profile. And, you can rest assured that these aren't empty promises. All things being equal, a wider rim puts more of the tire on the road, and that increased contact patch means more grip, especially while cornering. Better yet, by widening the tire's base, more of the sidewall is oriented vertically, and that means that the tire is better able to deform around irregularities in the road surface. So, you'll roll through them, not over them. And just in case you're looking for the fastest rolling setup around, the FR Plus is compatible with tubeless setups, in addition to traditional clincher tires with tubes. At the heart of the Plus FR wheelset are HED's Sonic hubs. The carbon fiber hub shells are bonded to aluminum flanges in order to provide a stiff, lightweight assembly. The rear hub has an external grease port, which means that you're able to pump fresh grease in there without having to disassemble the rear hub. The spokes are Sapim CX rays, of which the front wheel has 18, and the rear has 24. Traditional spokes are drawn from stainless wire, bu...
