Annual Weddings issue:
One thing I love about my job is the ability to peek into other people's lives. Be it personally or professionally, I enjoy seeing how other people work and live and I often take a lesson or two away from each story. I particularly like working on our three Home and Garden issues each year because I usually get to explore a lovely local house and the history and stories of the family who call it home. This month was no exception. While the physical home of Jim and Jeanette DeVries is a gorgeous, well-built modern coastal cottage with a fantastic layout, the star of the show at this Gulf Breeze property is most certainly the views. The sweeping vistas include a canal for docking boats, a saltwater estuary, the Naval Live Oaks, and the Pensacola Beach skyline across the smooth sound. When I visit home owners for these stories, I often image how I would use the home if I were ever lucky enough to live in such a place. In this home, I would plant myself squarely on the screened in porch for my morning coffee and only the need to pay the mortgage, so I could keep the view, would get me up and out the door for work. In the evening, I would wind down on that same porch with a glass of wine and the evening sunset for my viewing pleasure. The DeVries are lucky folks to call this paradise home. Check out the home, the views and the DeVries' sweet dog Mattie on page 34.
In addition to our sneak peek into a beautiful home, this issue of full of great information and ideas to transform your house into the sanctuary of your dreams. Be it high tech gadgets and apps to create a home smarter than its owners or recipes for southern fare like crawfish and refreshing tequila-based cocktails for those summer like gatherings, we've got you covered. Plus, we take look at the current state of recycling in our area and get a look into the future plans for dedicated local facilities.
All that as well as our reader favorites—regular departments like Pensacola Scene, Page 10 with DeeDee Davis and our Play, Live, Give calendar of local events. I hope you enjoy the issue and I hope you have fabulous summer!

Meet the seven new dwarf galaxies.
Yale University astronomers, using a new type of telescope made by stitching together telephoto lenses, recently discovered seven celestial surprises while probing a nearby spiral galaxy. The previously unseen galaxies may yield important insights into dark matter and galaxy evolution, while possibly signaling the discovery of a new class of objects in space.
For now, scientists know they have found a septuplet of new galaxies that were previously overlooked because of their diffuse nature: The ghostly galaxies emerged from the night sky as the team obtained the first observations from the "homemade" telescope.
The discovery came quickly, in a relatively small section of sky. "We got an exciting result in our first images," said Allison Merritt, a Yale graduate student and lead author of a paper about the discovery in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. "It was very exciting. It speaks to the quality of the telescope."
Pieter van Dokkum, chair of Yale's astronomy department, designed the robotic telescope with University of Toronto astronomer Roberto Abraham. Their Dragonfly Telephoto Array uses eight telephoto lenses with special coatings that suppress internally scattered light. This makes the telescope uniquely adept at detecting the very diffuse, low surface brightness of the newly discovered galaxies.
"These are the same kind of lenses that are used in sporting events like the World Cup. We decided to point them upward instead," van Dokkum said. He and Abraham built the compact, oven-sized telescope in 2012 at New Mexico Skies, an observatory in Mayhill, N.M. The telescope was named Dragonfly because the lenses resemble the compound eye of an insect.
"We knew there was a whole set of science questions that could be answered if we could see diffuse objects in the sky," van Dokkum said. In addition to discovering new galaxies, the team is looking for debris from long-ago galaxy collisions.
"It's a new domain. We're exploring a region of parameter space that had not been explored before," van Dokkum said.
The Yale scientists will tackle a key question next: Are these seven newly found objects dwarf galaxies orbiting around the M101 spiral galaxy, or are they located much closer or farther away, and just by chance are visible in the same direction as M101?
If it's the latter, Merritt said, these objects represent something entirely different. "There are predictions from galaxy formation theory about the need for a population of very diffuse, isolated galaxies in the universe," Merritt said. "It may be that these seven galaxies are the tip of the iceberg, and there are thousands of them in the sky that we haven't detected yet."
Merritt stressed that until they collect more data and determine the distances to the objects, researchers won't know their true nature. But the possibilities are intriguing enough that the team has been granted the opportunity to use the Hubble Space Telescope for further study.
"I'm confident that some of them will turn out to be a new class of objects," van Dokkum said. "I'd be surprised if all seven of them are satellites of M101."
Meanwhile, there is also more work to be done with the new telescope. "We are collecting new data with the Dragonfly telescope every clear night. We're all curious to see what other surprises the night sky has in store for us," Merritt said.

Randy Travis Gets Two Years Probation in His Naked DWI Case
Randy Travis, the country singer famous for the song "Three Wooden Crosses", was sentenced to 180 days in jail on Thursday, January 31. The 53-year-old crooner pleaded guilty to drunk driving in Texas in August last year.
However, Travis may not be locked behind bars at all since his sentence was probated for 2 years. That will allow him to avoid staying inside of the cell if he stays out of trouble for the next two years, explains Grayson County District Attorney.
According to TMZ, Travis' sentence also includes 100 hours of community service and a mandatory check in to an inpatient alcohol treatment facility for a minimum 30 days. Not only that, but he must also install an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) on any vehicle he drives for the next two years. The device could measure the singer's blood alcohol level and could stop the engine from starting if he's proven intoxicated.
Travis' legal trouble stemmed from his arrest for DWI last August 7, where he was caught lying naked in the roadway after crashing his vehicle in a construction zone. Back in December, his lawyer Larry Friedman told PEOPLE that the country star had already given up alcohol following the arrest.
"Randy is doing great. Life is good," Friedman claimed. "He's given up drinking alcohol. He's drinking eight glasses of water a day or more. He's on a strict exercise regimen. ... He's in the best shape he's ever been in in his life."

Puck Daddy
David Backes signs with Bruins in NHL free-agent surpriseGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy17 mins ago
David Backes has carved out a reputation in the NHL over the last 10 seasons with the St. Louis Blues as a rugged, blue-collar player.
So naturally, as he leaves the Blues as a free agent, he joins the NHL's epitome of the blue-collar aesthetic, the Boston Bruins.
"Just the ideology those players have. They're all-in. That mentality," said Backes on TSN on Friday, after signing a five-year, $30-million deal. "It was a fit on all accords."
Backes played 79 games with the Blues last season, scoring 21 goals and 24 assists. He had 460 points in 727 games with the Blues, who drafted him No. 62 overall in 2003. Backes has been a Selke Trophy finalist and finished fourth in the voting twice.
The Bruins were flush with cash heading into the summer. Backes, 32, gives Boston one of the deepest groups at center in the NHL: David Krejci, Patrice Bergeron and Backes. (In the case of the latter two, they have a pair of the best defensive centers in hockey.) And when you have to get past a team with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Nick Bonino to win the Cup, well, there you do.
Blues add David Perron on two-year, $7.5M contractJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy21 mins ago
David Perron has decided to return to the place where he started his NHL career.
The 28-year-old winger signed a two-year contract worth $7.5 million with the St. Louis Blues. The team picked Perron in the first-round of the of the 2007 NHL Draft. He spent his first six NHL seasons with the club before he was traded to the Edmonton Oilersin the 2013 offseason.
Perron spent his first 43 games last season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he had 16 points. After a January trade to the Anaheim Ducks for Carl Hagelin, Perron notched 20 points in 28 games.
In his first 20 games he notched 17 points and helped captain Ryan Getzlaf get his game back. But after suffering a shoulder injury in late March, Perron struggled to find his groove when he returned for the playoffs.
Milan Lucic signs with Oilers; right move for Edmonton?Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy39 mins ago
The Edmonton Oilers signed Milan Lucic, one of the biggest fish in the free-agency pool in name and bulk, as the NHL frenzy started on July 1.
And it's the first palpable example of the Connor McDavid Effect.
"I think it's self explanatory. They have a pretty special young player there. That's what the decision comes down to. Getting a chance to play with one of the best young players that I've seen since I've come into the NHL," Lucic said on TSN. "Whether I play with him or not, there's light at the end of the tunnel with him [on the team]."
Lucic, 28, spent last season with the Los Angeles Kings, scoring 20 goals and 35 assists in 81 games, with 79 penalty minutes. That was after eight years with the Boston Bruins in which he tallied 342 points in 566 games. Many of those eight years were spent with Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli, with whom Lucic won the Stanley Cup in 2011.
Florida Panthers sign James Reimer to five-year, $17M dealJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy44 mins ago
The Florida Panthers have signed goaltender James Reimer to a five-year contract worth $3.4 million per-year.
The decision to bring in Reimer should help the 37-year-old Roberto Luongo get added rest during the regular season and could enable the Panthers to shift to Reimer once Luongo decides to retire.
The 28-year-old Reimer played 40 games last season between the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks. In 32 games with the Leafs he had a 2.49 goal-against average and .918 save percentage. In eight games with San Jose, Reimer held a 1.62 goal-against average and .938 save percentage.
Reimer led goaltenders who had played at least 1,500 5-on-5 minutes with a .9404 save percentage.
In 207 career NHL games, Reimer is 85-76-23 with a 2.83 goal-against average and .914 save percentage.
Luongo is under contract on a long-term deal that runs through 2021-22. Last season, Luongo finished fourth in Vezina Trophy voting and held a 2.35 goal-against average and .922 save percentage.
Brian Campbell returning to Blackhawks: ReportGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy1 hr ago
The Chicago Blackhawks were done after one round last season partially because their defense was exposed.
Trevor van Riemsdyk, Erik Gustafsson and David Rundblad all weren't ready for prime time. The loss of Johnny Oduya in the previous offseason – and the team's inability to replace him with either Trevor Daley or Rob Scuderi, whom they acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins for Daley – left the team's blue line thin.
So the Blackhawks have decided to dip into the past for some help: Brian Campbell, who won a Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2010. According to Pierre LeBrun of TSN, the deal is done for July 1.
Campbell's massive 8-year, $57-million contract that he signed with the Blackhaws in 2008 was moved by the team to the Florida Panthers and former GM Dale Tallon in 2011. He's spent the last five years there, scoring 175 points in 376 games and being a steady hand on the blue line – especially in helping along phenom Aaron Ekblad. Campbell was a plus-31 last season.
He doesn't have the wheels he once did with the Blackhawks, but he brings a palpable durability: Campbell hasn't missed a game since the 2010-11 season, even as he's 37 years old now.
Darren Helm handed 5-year deal from Red WingsGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy1 hr ago
Darren Helm is fast. This has been his greatest virtue in his nine NHL seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, and as the Pittsburgh Penguins reminded us in their Stanley Cup run, it's also a precious commodity in today's NHL.
Let's keep that in mind as the news hits on July 1 that Helm has been re-signed to a five-year extension by the Red Wings. According to Aaron Ward, the deal has an annual average value of $3.85 million.
Helm played 77 games last season with 13 goals and 13 assists, skating 15:04 for new coach Jeff Blashill. He was one of their top guys as far as ice time on the penalty kill. Helm was also a positive possession player at 52 percent Corsi at 5-on-5, although playing the majority of his minutes with Pavel Datsyuk might be a factor there.
So the Red Wings sign a role player for five years. One that, perhaps, could be expansion draft bait.
They now have $14.2 million to sign Danny Dekeyser, Petr Mrazek and a replacement for Pavel Datsyuk that will probably be Frans Nielsen.

Aaron Ekblad, Panthers agree on massive 8-year extensionGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy13 hrs ago
Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad is entering the last year of his rookie deal, with a Calder Trophy to his credit and having established himself as a franchise player.
Starting in 2017-18, he'll be paid like one.
According to Jimmy Murphy of Dirty Water Media and confirmed by George Richards of the Miami Herald, Ekblad will sign an 8-year deal with a $7.5 million average annual value this summer. Richards said he doesn't anticipate Ekblad signs the deal on July 1, but will do so "soon." The deal was initially reported by Elliotte Friedman last week.
Ekblad had 36 points in 78 games last season, playing 21:40 per game as a 20 year old. There was some concern that he could be an offer sheet target next summer, but Panthers management has ended that drama before it began.
Can Shea Weber's 'John Wayne type' style succeed in Montreal?Josh Cooper at Puck Daddy17 hrs ago
It's hard to gauge emotion from Shea Weber's face.
No matter the situation – good, bad indifferent – he stays stoic and almost statuesque in how his surveys what has occurred in front of him.
"I really regard him as a John Wayne type," longtime Nashville Predators play-by-play voice Peter Weber said. "I think Shea is overly loud with that shot of his, but I really do think he is the mostly silent, very strong type that guys respect for that."
This ability to stay level and even has helped Shea Weber become one of the top defensemen in the NHL since 2005-06, his first year in the league. In his eight full seasons since then he has scored in between 15-23 goals and notched in between 40-56 points.
In his career, he's averaged 24:02 of ice-time in 763 NHL games. The 30-year-old Weber has been named to two Canadian Olympic, won two gold medals and was one of the first 16 players added to Team Canada's World Cup team. Three times, Weber has been named a finalist for the Norris Trophy.
Dustin Brown 'doesn't see eye-to-eye' with LA Kings on captaincy choiceJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy18 hrs ago
Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Brown said he "doesn't see eye-to-eye" with a team management decision to strip him of his captain's 'C'.
He also indicated his relationship with the organization has been strained moving forward following leaks in the Kings' decision to give Anze Kopitar the captaincy.
Brown was named team captain in 2008 and has led the group to two Stanley Cup championships. He is the only American captain to win multiple Stanley Cups and one of two US born players to captain a team to a championship
Earlier in June, the Kings announced Kopitar would become the team's new captain.
"I'm not going to say it's rosy but at the end of the day my responsibility and my job and what I ultimately care about is performing and playing well for my teammates. That wasn't ever not the case," Brown said. "I don't want to let my teammates down first and foremost because those are the guys you go to battle with and those are the guys it affects the most. That's kind of my focus and my perspective."

Over a quarter of the working-age people in the Nelson region do not have any school qualifications.
But education experts expect the figure to drop, with schemes to keep students in school longer and increased access to further education.
The Nelson Regional Economic Development Agency's most recent six-monthly report said 52 per cent of the working-age population in the region had a post-school qualification, 21 per cent had a school qualification, and 27 per cent had no qualifications.
The proportions were broadly the same as they were five and 10 years ago.
However, Ministry of Education figures show that the trend may be changing.
The numbers of Nelson students reaching NCEA Level 2, regarded as a minimum qualification for further education and training, have been slightly ahead of the national average in recent years.
The Government has set a target of at least 85 per cent of 18-year-olds obtaining at least NCEA level 2 by 2017.
In 2011, 76.7 per cent of 18-year-old students from the Nelson region gained NCEA level 2 or above. In 2012, the figure was 80 per cent. Both beat the national average, of 74.3 per cent in 2011 and 77.2 per cent in 2012.
Top of the South Trades Academy manager Shaaron Adams said the academy, which gives students a taste of tertiary study while they are at school, could help to increase the region's school achievement numbers in the future.
The academy was launched in March 2012 with about 100 students. It has over 300 students enrolled this year.
The academy is a partnership between the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT), secondary schools across the top of the south and Whenua Iti Outdoors. It is funded by the Ministry of Education.
Students accepted into the academy complete NCEA at school while working towards a national certificate in a trade. They train one day a week at NMIT's campuses, Whenua Iti or selected schools.
Adams said the academy gave students a "kick start" so that when they left school, they would be on their way to further study.
"It has already instilled in them an understanding of the transition or pathway from school to work or training. I think a lot of them in the past might not have realised they were capable or had that opportunity or privilege of doing it while at school."
Waimea College principal Larry Ching said the number of unqualified workers in the region was "not good enough", though he also expected it to decrease, thanks to recent initiatives like the trades academy.
"I think there is work to be done. I think we are in the process of making some good progress."
He said showing students different vocational options and how to take advantage of them was going to improve education levels.
The school is also taking part in the Youth Guarantee scheme, which works to identify students at risk of failing NCEA level 1 or 2.
Ching said the programme worked to give these students a "nudge" and extra support when they needed it, as well as making their families aware that they needed to work harder.
So far, the programme had been "very successful", he said.
Ching said New Zealand had put a lot of emphasis on encouraging students to go to university.
"That's not a bad thing, but we don't need a whole lot of unemployed graduates in the workforce. Now there is a shortage in skilled trades areas."
Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce chief executive Dot Kettle said that while the chamber encouraged people to become as qualified as possible, school and post-school qualifications were not "the be-all and end-all" when it came to finding work in the region.
"Most important from an employer's point of view is ensuring the potential employee has the right fit for the culture and attitude to work."
She said the qualifications required depended on the job. If it was technical or specific, there was likely to be a base requirement.
Kettle said employers were often looking for "learning agility", so employees could find meaning from experiences, and could keep pace with any changes required.
For the 27 per cent of the region's working-age population with no qualifications, Kettle said employers would be looking to see what else they could bring to the table, such as leadership or being a team player.
NMIT director of service industries and learning innovation Chris Hubbard said the Nelson region had a high percentage of labouring jobs, including seasonal workers, which could influence the numbers in the report.
"Many of those employed in these types of areas are highly skilled but have never needed to gain a formal qualification."
Hubbard said the proportion of unqualified workers needed to change, as the world was quickly becoming a knowledge-based economy.
"As traditional labour-intensive roles are being slowly replaced by technological solutions, people will need to upskill in order to find new employment and career opportunities."
He said the unchanged numbers of unqualified workers in recent years also reflected employment and career choices, with many Nelsonians gaining higher qualifications but leaving the area for employment or to take up career opportunities.
The size of the local job market also had an effect on keeping graduates in the region, he said.

text: Rev. Wright: 15 minutes of illuminating fame I can't believe the MSM has spent all this air time on a pastor who isn't running for president. Oh, OK, yes I can. Since Obama "divorced" Wright in the press conference yesterday, my question is whether the bar for the media will move even higher. His former pastor's ego was obviously bruised from the (quite frankly, sensitive) rebuke of his past comments that he received from the presidential hopeful in Obama's A More Perfect Union speech. Some of what Wright said at the National Press Club was clarifying and on point:Maybe this dialogue on race, an honest dialogue that does not engage in denial or superficial platitudes, maybe this dialogue on race can move the people of faith in this country from various stages of alienation and marginalization to the exciting possibility of reconciliation. Other parts added nothing positive to the dialogue showed a public unraveling of the id. Wright felt dissed, and took it before the cameras, damaging his own credibility -- and he either doesn't seem to realize it -- or care. I see clips from the NPC appearance and wonder what's next -- Rev. Wright lobbying for additional 15 minutes of exposure to "play the dozens" with Barack Obama? I'm sure the media would be down with that too. And that's because they never dig deeper to see what's really beneath the surface. Read more about Rev.

2013 middleware predictions by Red Hat's Craig Muzilla. This post originally appeared on Dec. 18, 2012.
Last year, I offered my thoughts on trends and developments that the market would see in 2012. At that time, I felt that we were looking at a continued emphasis on cloud, while mobile and backend integration technologies would rise in prominence within enterprise IT. I think the industry made progress in all three areas: analysts indicate huge adoption of mobile technologies as a substitute for what would have typically been a laptop or desktop computer; at Red Hat we saw an uptick in interest around some of our backend integration tools like rules-based processing and business process management (BPM); and the industry as a whole saw a solidification around cloud visions and roadmaps from vendors.
One area that turned out to be much bigger than I had anticipated was the explosion and interest in big data. Moving forward, I think applications will be much more data-driven, using information generated by the millions of mobile devices I mentioned earlier.
To-date, the primary use of big data has been related to the analysis of large volumes of information that could not be analyzed using traditional data warehouses. I think this will continue; however, I anticipate a rise in applications wanting to participate in either big data or NoSQL solutions. I expect technologies such as Hive, which allows users to do traditional SQL queries in a big data setting, are going to become very important and popular in the coming year.
Transactional or production-related applications will need to interface with these big data solutions beyond simple analysis to take on some action or activity. Where I predict the market will likely see the most activity is around technologies like middleware that have been on the sidelines but may now begin to develop interfaces for things like MapReduce queries, Hive, or even traditional SQL queries. In this way I expect to see the more traditional application servers and tools like ESBs participate in the big data movement.
Another significant development that I anticipate for next year is the explosion of private cloud. There has been a lot of discussion lately about cloud in general, but public cloud has largely been the focus. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technologies have both made a lot of progress from a public cloud standpoint, where they have primarily been used for development, testing and experimentation. I predict that PaaS will come out of this paradigm for production purposes. While very few applications are in production right now in public clouds, I think we'll see a lot of companies begin to take applications into production via private clouds.
A word of caution, though. Organizations need to shift their ways of thinking about governance models. Developers have much more responsibility and power than they did in the on-premises world. There was always a development process, and then an application went into operations, and operations took it into production. Today, we have the idea of DevOps, which is designed to empower the developer to not only work in the development phase, but then take the finished application into production and even manage it there. This model redefines governance because companies will need to think about what kind of responsibility and authority they give to staff members that may have not had those roles before. Ultimately, I think there will be a lot more flexibility, productivity and freedom, but companies will need to rethink their governance model to avoid running into problems.
In the near term, I predict the primary themes will remain the top priorities moving forward: cloud computing and PaaS, especially on-premises, will be important; OpenStack will play a big role in terms of basic cloud infrastructure for IaaS; and the industry will see continued movement in the mobile area. Today, most enterprise mobile activity has been around the client application with little backend service considerations, but I think we'll see a huge movement in iPhone or Android development, even natively, but requiring backend services such as security, transactions, enterprise integration, and persistence. As a result, I expect to see a lot of technology being developed that allows these mobile applications to fully participate in backend services and applications, and that will be a breakthrough for the industry.
In terms of big data, I hope to see a surge of technologies that seek to allow a broad set of applications, both analytical applications and transactional applications, become more involved. Whether this is using data in-memory, such as NoSQL solutions, or data management solutions like Hadoop with virtualized storage, I predict that it will ultimately lead to more data-driven applications. The foundation for this is already in place with MapReduce and Hadoop, and NoSQL solutions like Mongo and our own Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, but I think the interfaces required for participation from a broad set of applications still need to be built out over the next few years. Companies will look to NoSQL and big data solutions as a replacement for traditional relational databases or to reduce the dependency on them, and they will use them for a variety of transaction and analytical apps. I expect middleware to evolve to support this.
Long term, I think the nature of an enterprise application will change, especially as it relates to creating higher levels of abstraction, allowing non-technologists and business users to participate in the creation of those applications and mobile applications. Over the next two to five years, business users, consumers and partners will use tools like BPM and rules management that offer this level of abstraction to develop and adjust applications based on needs. There is some discussion regarding intelligent BPM (iBPM) now, but it still seems to be largely under the radar. The industry will likely hear much more discussion about these sophisticated and end user-friendly technologies, both in the cloud and in traditional uses, in the years to come.
Undoubtedly, the future holds a number of surprises for the enterprise IT industry. While my thoughts and observations here are based on some existing trends, all of these things are driving innovation. What's more, cloud, mobile and big data are all driving the need for innovation. Small pieces of innovation are happening every day in communities at the developer level. It's exciting to see and be a part of these innovations as they emerge, take hold in the enterprise and make their mark on the world.
In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

ABC is turning Nik Wallenda's attempted tightrope walk over Niagara Falls into a prime-time television event next month.
The network said Friday it will devote its entire prime-time schedule to a three-hour special on June 15 with the daredevil's attempt. Part of the show will be an examination of the greatest stunts of all time.
Wallenda is a member of the famous daredevil family.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
His great-grandfather, Karl, fell to his death in a tightrope walk in Puerto Rico at age 78.
Daredevils routinely used to make tightrope walks over the Niagara River gorge, downstream of the falls, until the practice was banned.
Nik Wallenda's stunt will be the first attempted walk over the falls themselves.
