Building 11 is the site for construciton of this 65' cold molded sailing yacht.
We spent the winter and spring months working closely with SWYD and the owners fine-tuning the design and construction. As per usual we built a full-scale mockup of the boat in March plus an alternative mockup of the master stateroom and guest cabin. This set up enabled us to walk through a couple of different layouts of the project to further fine tune the cockpit and interior layout according to the owners wishes.More details
We are pleased to be building the prototypes for the re-introduction of this iconic and paradigm shifting Bertram 35 Moppie.

Whether you know the details are there or not.
Bertram was also interested in our abilities with composite construction. Steve Crane, leading the LM composite team and Ed Joy, our in house naval architect, along with the other designers and project managers at LM have created the exacting...(Read More)More details
One of our customers brought us this unique opportunity to finish a 49 foot steel schooner that was started at another yard. Work is currently under way at our metal fabrication shop to finish the hull, deck and interior structure. The plan is to then move her to our Thomaston site to get all of the Lyman-Morse finishing touches. Stay tuned to see how this project progresses.More details

Correspondence to Florence Lacaille, Gastroenterology and Nutrition Unit, Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital, 149 rue de Sevres, 75015 Paris, France (e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com).
The patient was an 11-year-old female of Portugese origin, born and living in France. She was seen the first time in June for fever (39°C) for the past three weeks, variable during the daytime and during the week, following an angina 3 weeks before (amoxicillin). She sometimes had shivers, mild myalgias, or arthralgias. Physical examination was normal. Blood count was: 4430/mm3 white cells, neutrophils 51%, lymphocytes 45%, ESR was 22 mm/h, CRP 6 mg/l. The fever persisted, variable, during the next month. The patient complained of vague abdominal pain and arthralgias, but was otherwise in good general status. Blood count was unchanged, CRP was normal, urine culture negative, Paul-Bunnel-Davidson negative, AST 206 IU/L, ALT 243 IU/L. The mother complained of nearly the same symptoms as her daughter but more prominent joint pain. Because of hypertransaminasemia, she underwent liver biopsy (figure). During the summer, blood tests showed persistent cytolysis (AST 50-200 IU/L, ALT 60-250 IU/L) without cholestasis. She was first seen in our unit in October. Clinical examination was normal, except for a weight loss of 1 kg since June.
What is the Diagnosis?
1) Auto-immune hepatitis
2) Systemic lupus erythematosus
3) Brucellosis
4) Cat-scratch disease
Brucellosis The diagnosis was made in the patient's mother on liver biopsy. It showed small histiocytic granulomas in the lobule, suggestive together with the clinical features of brucellosis. It was then confirmed by specific serology. The infection probably came from eating cheese in Portugal, where it is endemic, and where the family vacationed in February. The diagnosis was delayed in the patient because the first serology in July was negative. It was not controlled until October, when it was strongly positive. The patient was treated with doxycycline and rifampicin for 6 weeks. All symptoms disappeared quickly and liver tests normalized in 2 weeks. Always listen to the mothers...
We thank Dr. Maggy Crossin from the unit of Pathology in Bichat Hospital (Paris) for her collaboration with the biopsy picture of the patient's mother.

PHOENIX — Eight role players are not greater than two superstars.
The Suns' hopes of starting their first win streak since mid-December were probably derailed as soon as Oklahoma City showed up, but the Thunder's All-Star duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook was the express delivering the damage. Durant's 41 points and Westbrook's 36 points overwhelmed the Suns for a 102-90 victory at US Airways Center.
The West-leading Thunder (30-8) were missing starter Serge Ibaka for a second consecutive game due to a chest bruise and traveled from Portland after a narrow Sunday night win. In a cold arena, Westbrook caught fire over the first two and a half quarters and passed the hot hand on to Durant, whose 19 fourth-quarter points made for his fourth 40-point game in the past 14 games.
"What can we do?" Suns center Marcin Gortat, who had 19 points and 15 rebounds, said of Durant. "I'm going to be silly right now, but maybe break his arm, break his leg? You can't do anything. You can triple-team. He is still going to score."
The Suns (13-27) led after the first quarter for the sixth time in the past eight games and gamely stayed close until the fourth quarter. Once again, offensive outages undid the Suns, starting with losing the lead for good in the second quarter by going scoreless for 4:18.
When the Suns had their last chance trailing 79-74 in the fourth quarter, they missed seven of eight shots while Durant was taking it to Michael Beasley, including a stutter-step blow-by for an and-one dunk on Gortat.
P.J. Tucker started on Durant, but Beasley got the assignment down the stretch after closing the third quarter with a follow and a 3-pointer. Beasley finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds but also was five of 14 from the field with four turnovers in 26 minutes.
"They executed to perfection down the stretch," said Suns guard Shannon Brown, who had a team-high 21 points. "We've got to kind of learn from that."
Phoenix shot 41.7 percent, but Oklahoma City's supporting cast only made 11 of 30 shots outside of Durant and Westbrook, who scored all but four of the Thunder's second-half points.
Free throws
Suns swingman Jared Dudley missed his second consecutive game due to a right-wrist strain he suffered in Friday night's fourth quarter at Brooklyn. Dudley said he expects to play Thursday night at Milwaukee.
Suns center Jermaine O'Neal did not join the bench Monday night due to back spasms.
Key player: Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant had a 27-point second half to finish with 41 points after games of 42 and 33 points.
Key moment: The Suns were within four with 10:05 to go but made just one shot over the next 5:38.
Key number: 1. Number of points by which the entire Suns team outscored the Thunder trio of Durant, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Martin.
Why the Suns lost: Oklahoma City has the stars to carry them through nights when the team is tired from a back-to-back and down a man due to injury. Westbrook is normally a 41 percent shooter, but he hit 12 of his first 18 shots on Monday night. Right about when he cooled off, Durant picked up the slack and scored 23 of the Thunder's next 29 points.
View from press row: The celebrity sightings made it like years past at US Airways Center on Monday, except Oklahoma City was the attraction. Boxer Floyd Mayweather sat center court with Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp down the row. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sat with Jerry Colangelo in more modest seating. Colangelo told Fox Sports Arizona's Kevin Ray: "Our center's finally in town … a few years late."

Child Advocacy
Help Your Kids Enjoy a Safe Summer
Summertime and those months away from school mean more freedom for kids, and may increase concerns for parents. Denise Drago, M.D., pediatrician, has tips and information to help children and parents enjoy a safe and healthy summer.
Water Safety and Sun Protection
During the summer, children spend a lot more time outdoors than usual, so two of the biggest concerns parents should address are water safety and sun protection, Dr. Drago says.
Some tips include:
- Do not leave a child alone near or in a pool or body of water always have an adult who can swim within an arm s length of the child.
- Pools should have a safety fence with a self-locking gate.
- In case of emergency, keep a life preserver and a portable phone by the pool.
- Swimming lessons help children feel comfortable in the water and help them learn to swim, but children should be supervised when in the water.
- Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher that protects against UVA and UVB rays even if it is cloudy outside.
- Apply one ounce of sunscreen per person about 15-30 minutes before going out in the sun, and reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you are sweating or in the water.
- Don t forget to apply sunscreen to the tops of the ears, scalp, tops of the feet and the back of the neck.
- Hats, sunglasses and sun-protective clothing should be used to protect children from the sun.
- For babies younger than 6 months of age, the best protection is to stay out of direct sunlight as much as possible. If he or she is in the sun, he or she should be dressed in lightweight long-sleeve top, long pants and a hat.
- It is OK to use sunscreen on small areas of baby s skin like the backs of the hands and face.
Heat Related Injuries
It s also important, when talking about being outdoors, to talk about heat-related injuries, Dr. Drago says. To prevent these injuries, teenagers and children should drink plenty of fluids before going outside, and they should continue to drink 4-8 ounces of water or sports drinks for every 15-20 minutes of outdoor exercise or play. If children are involved in sports that have outdoor practices, they should be done in the coolest part of the day and should start with shorter practice times and slowly build up time. If a child starts to feel dizzy, nauseated or has muscle cramps, he or she should immediately stop the activity and find a cool place to rest and rehydrate.
Dos and Don ts of Being Home Alone
For parents of teenage children who are home alone while they are at work, Dr. Drago advises reviewing the rules and the dos and don ts of being home alone.
For instance:
- Is it OK for the kids to have friends over while you aren t there?
- Are the kids allowed to leave the house to go out with friends?
- Do you want them to call you at a certain time to check in? It also is helpful to establish a contact person someone the teenager can go to if they have questions or if something happens at home.
This person can be a grandparent or a neighbor someone who can check in on the child during the day.
Dr. Drago also has advice for parents when it comes to sleeping. Some freedom during the summer to stay up a little later and sleep in a little longer is OK, but you want to make sure that children do not end up spending their whole summer inside, she says. Try to keep your child on a sleep schedule that is as normal as possible because disrupting a child s sleep pattern can make them grumpy and tired during the summer and it makes it much harder to transition back to the school time schedule.
TV, Computer and Cell Phone Time
When it comes to TV, computer and cell phone time, Dr. Drago cites the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation of two hours or less of screen time a day year-round. Encourage kids to use their extra free time to go outside and do an activity they can t do as much during the school year, Dr. Drago says. Join a sports team or go to the beach instead of spending that time texting or hanging out on Facebook.
By setting rules and boundaries and keeping an eye on safety, parents can ensure their children have a healthy, active and happy summer break and an easy transition to the next school year.

From this Science News article Use Weights, Not Aerobics, To Ease Back Pain, Study Suggests:
"People who use weight training to ease their lower back pain are better off than those who choose other forms of exercise such as jogging"
It was 16 week study using two different modalities to ease back pain. One group exercise used dumbbells, barbells and other load-bearing exercise equipment, and the other group chose aerobic training such as jogging, walking on a treadmill or using an elliptical machine.
The weight training group experienced a 60 percent decrease in back pain, while the aerobic group experienced a 12 percent decrease in back pain.
The researcher concludes: "Any activity that makes you feel better is something you should pursue, but the research indicates that we get better pain management results from resistance training. The extra benefits stem from using the whole-body approach required in resistance training, We tried to strengthen the entire body and by doing that, we decreased the fatigue people felt throughout the day. They were better able to perform their activities of daily living."
This research shows that strength training can ease back pain. I believe that the real added value of strength training lies in the fact that a stronger body is less likely to have back pain to begin with. With the right equipment one can experience dramatic increases in back strength.
At Austin Personal Trainers and New Orleans Personal Trainers we have extensive lines of MedX rehabilitative and exercise equipment. It was developed by Arthur Jones (inventor of Nautilus), It is the most technologically advanced fitness, sports and medical/rehabilitation equipment available. On one machine alone, the lumbar exercise machine, Jones reportedly spent 100 million dollars on its development.
People wait until they are plagued by chronic back pain before they do something about. In 2005 Americans spent $85.9 billion looking for relief from back and neck pain. We think a better solution is to be proactive and get your back stronger and lessen the likelihood of future back pain.

Manu Ginobili and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies in what was a must-win game for the Spurs. The Grizzlies came into the night 3-1 in the series and were just minutes away from completing one of the biggest upsets in NBA playoff history.
This postseason's number one seed in the West, one of two 60-win teams this season, was within one minute of being eliminated from the playoffs. A 91-87 lead for the Grizzlies would soon be erased , as six points in the last two minutes from Manu Ginobili would pull the Spurs within three points with seconds remaining.
That's when Gary Neal decided to give the Spurs a final push.
A 25-foot three-point shot with time expiring would send the game into overtime, where the Spurs would outscore the Grizzlies by seven and send the series to a Game 6.
Now down 3-2 in the series, fans learned that there is still fight in this San Antonio Spurs team that has seemed especially sluggish this postseason.
Taking out the red pen, here are the grades for each team in the Game 5 thriller.

Peace talks taking place in Ethiopia between South Sudan and anti-government forces have stalled again, this time over the release of political prisoners.
The rebel leader, South Sudan's former vice-president Riek Machar, is demanding 11 high-level rebels be set free.
Several dozen people held a peace march in the capital, Juba, on Wednesday to no avail.
Uganda has sent 12,000 troops to help secure places like the airport and the state house. Rebels claim Ugandan military force in South Sudan have been bombing rebel-controlled areas.
However, Uganda denies the accusations, saying its troops are not involved in the fighting.
Violence broke out in South Sudan in mid-December over a political dispute. But the fighting is becoming more about ethnicity than politics, forcing more than 200,000 South Sudanese to flee their homes.
The United States has evacuated most embassy personnel and many Western missionaries have also left the country.
Freddie Power is the founder of Keeping Hope Alive, a Charlotte, N.C.-based ministry that runs an orphanage in South Sudan. She talked more about the situation there and how it's affecting the ministry, on Christian World News, Jan. 10.

I also understand that the defined contribution plan voted out of the Senate Finance Committee yesterday includes legislators, judes and other elected officials upon re-election to office.
For more information, goto www.legis.state.pa.us and review SB 922 introduced by Senator Brubaker.]]>
The systems were riding high following the tech boom of the 1990's. Both systems were more than 100% funded due to significant investment gains. Those gains quickly eroded in the wake of the terroist attacks, the credit crunch, and great recession. Combine that with nearly $6 billion in underfunding, and we are presented with the large unfunded liability we have today.
Thomas is correct there was a time in the 1980's when the state was making 12-15% contribution payments to the systems. However, this was short-lived. The spiraling growth in our pension obligations will reach about 30% of payroll and remain around that level for nearly 20 years if we don't take action to reform the system.]]>

My language is Ruby (http://www.ruby-lang.org).
If you want a language for easy object-oriented programming, or you don't like the Perl ugliness, or you do like the concept of LISP, but don't like too many parentheses, Ruby is your choice. There are little reasons not to love Ruby. One of the most asked question is, why I chose Ruby over traditional languages like PHP or Python. Here's why:
*Interpretive :
Ruby is an interpreted language, so you don't have to recompile programs written in Ruby to execute them.
*Variables have no type :
Variables in Ruby can contain data of any type. You don't have to worry about variable typing. Consequently, it has a weaker compile time check.
*No declaration needed :
You can use variables in your Ruby programs without any declarations. Variable names denote their scope – global, class, instance, or local.
*Simple syntax :
Ruby has a simple syntax influenced slightly from Eiffel. No semicolon to end the line. Language should understand the human nature. Not the other way round. Ruby looks and feels a lot like English.
*No user-level memory management :
Ruby has automatic memory management. Objects no longer referenced from anywhere are automatically collected by the garbage collector built into the interpreter.
*Everything is an object :
Ruby is a purely object-oriented language, and was so since its creation. Even such basic data as integers are seen as objects. Yes, Ruby has object orientation 2.0.
*Class, inheritance, and methods :
Being an object-oriented language, Ruby naturally has basic features like classes, inheritance, and methods. And Ruby's built in method (function for you :P) is gorgeous. It reads a lot like English and often times, you can guess the method name from Intuition.
*Singleton methods :
Ruby has the ability to define methods for certain objects. For example, you can define a press-button action for certain widget by defining a singleton method for the button. Or, you can make up your own prototype based object system using singleton methods, if you want to.
*Mix-in by modules :
Ruby intentionally does not have the multiple inheritance as it is a source of confusion. Instead, Ruby has the ability to share implementations across the inheritance tree. This is often called a 'Mix-in'.
*Iterators :
Ruby has iterators for loop abstraction.
*Closures :
In Ruby, you can objectify the procedure.
*Text processing and regular expressions :
Ruby has a bunch of text processing features like in Perl.
*M17N, character set independent :
Ruby supports multilingualism in programming. Easy to process texts written in many different natural languages and encoded in many different character encodings, without dependence on Unicode.
*Bignums :
With built-in bignums, you can for example calculate factorial(400).
*Reflection and domain specific languages :
Class is also an instance of the Class class. Definition of classes and methods is an expression just as 1+1 is. So your programs can even write and modify programs. Thus you can write your application in your own programming language on top of Ruby.
*Direct access to the OS :
Ruby can use most UNIX system calls, often used in system programming.
*Dynamic loading :
On most UNIX systems, you can load object files into the Ruby interpreter on-the-fly.
*Rich libraries :
Libraries called "builtin libraries" and "standard libraries" are bundled with Ruby. And you can obtain more libraries via the package management system called `RubyGems'.
Moreover there are thousands of Ruby projects in Rubyforge (http://www.rubyforge.org) and RAA (http://raa.ruby-lang.org). Don't forget to check out the ever so wonderful Github. It hosts a plethora of Ruby code example🙂
I see a future Rubyist reading this, now don't you dare disappointing me. Happy Ruby coding, mate🙂

LOVE, a state of mind, only the wise or
lucky ever find. And having found it, only
the brave can make it flourish until the grave.
Women like romance. And let's not forget
that men
enjoy it, too. Though no one has a foolproof formula
for romance, words can make the difference. Romantic
Loving Words can be fun, playful, serious, or silly.
They can be healing, encouraging, satisfying, and
wonderful. Sometimes they come at us all at once, but
often just a little at a time.
No matter
how romantic words are used, you are a
lucky person if you are in a relationship where Loving
Words are shared like this love note.
Remember how hard it used to be for us to say,
"Good-bye," even when it was for just a few hours?
That's what I felt today as you left. I didn't want you to go.
I wished I could change today into a weekend so we could
get away and be together. I just had to leave a phone message
for you at work to let you know I was thinking of you.
I wanted you to know how I looked forward to you getting home,
to hold you again, and to hear you say those words of love
that I love so much. It may sound a bit corny to say,
but I am the luckiest man alive to have you as my wife.
GOD sure knew what He was doing when
He brought you into my life.
Your Husband
See how Loving Words can make a
difference? When Loving
Words are expressed, the true feelings each feels for the
other become clearer, and very little compares to it. If you've
never tried expressing your feelings to your mate, then you
are in for some wonderful romantic surprises.
No matter how
hard I try or how
many words I use, I could never
adequately express what you mean to me.
I can't really know you with my
eyes and ears; only my heart can.
If I had
to do it all
over again, I'd do it with you.
Nothing compares with the time we are together.
The best part of the day is
when I come home to you.
Tender moments are spent with you.
I can't wait to see you.
There are two types of romance, obligatory and spontaneous.
Both are important. All men are advised not to overlook the obligatory,
but make no mistake about it, spontaneous romance is
more genuinely romantic. Here's the difference.
romance includes all of the above if you do it in
a unique and totally unexpected way and any unplanned gesture
of love---such as flowers for no speical reason. Little
surprises, big surprises. Surprise dates in the middle of
the week or in the middle of the night. Champagne
toasts, candlelight dinners, weekend getaways, massages,
love letters, romantic movies, and Moonlight walks.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and and candle light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my chilhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,__I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!__and, if GOD choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Have you ever caught your husband/wife
looking at you with Love?
You turn around and his/her eyes are on you,
and all of a sudden there's a shower of warmth.
It's a marvelous thing to feel.
"If instead of
a gem, or
even a flower, we should cast
the gift of a loving
thought into the heart of
a friend, that would be
giving as the angels give."
George MacDonald
"My love, my perfect love..."
Song of Solomon 6:9
"I thought it was impossible
to love someone as much
as I love you----
until I met you."
Nothing on earth comes close
to finding the love of
your life and making it
a love that last a lifetime.
My love is yours to throw away,
Or keep for yet another day,
And with it all I am I give
For one brief moment of your love
That bids me live
And strive with all my soul to earn
What love you spare me in return.
For he who takes but never gives
May last for years
But never lives.
Kent Collier

Considering the Creation of a Domestic Intelligence Agency in the United Statesby Cheryl Y. Marcum Brian A. Jackson Albert A. Robbert Andrew Riddile
With terrorism still prominent on the U.S. agenda, whether the country's prevention efforts match the threat the United States faces continues to be central in policy debate. One element of this debate is questioning whether the United States should create a dedicated domestic intelligence agency. Case studies of five other democracies--Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the UK--provide lessons and common themes that may help policymakers decide. The authors find that* most of the five countries separate the agency that conducts domestic intelligence gathering from any arrest and detention powers* each country has instituted some measure of external oversight over its domestic intelligence agency* liaison with other international, foreign, state, and local agencies helps ensure the best sharing of information* the boundary between domestic and international intelligence activities may be blurring.
The Dynamic Terrorist Threat: An Assessment of Group Motivations and Capabilities in a Changing Worldby Cheryl Y. Marcum Sara A. Daly Kim Cragin M. Rebecca Kilburn Susan S. Everingham Jill Hoube
As the war on terrorism wages on, our nation's policymakers will continue to face the challenge of assessing threats that various terrorist groups pose to the U.S. homeland and our interests abroad. As part of the RAND Corporation's yearlong "Thinking Strategically About Combating Terrorism" project, the authors of this report develop a way to assess and analyze the danger posed by various terrorist organizations around the world. The very nature of terrorism creates a difficulty in predicting new and emerging threats; however, by establishing these types of parameters, the report creates a fresh foundation of threat analysis on which future counterterrorism strategy may build.
An Executive Perspective on Workforce Planningby John Arquilla Cheryl Y. Marcum David R. Frelinger Albert A. Robbert Donna Fossum Robert M. Emmerichs
Workforce planning is an activity intended to ensure that investment in human capital results in the timely capability to effectively carry out an organization's strategic intent. This report examines how corporate executives can provide guidance from the top of the organization to the business units that actually carry out the organization's activities so that the strategic is successfully realized.
The Muslim World After 9/11by Angel Rabasa Eric V. Larson Cheryl Y. Marcum Matthew Waxman
Momentous events since September 11, 2001-Operation Enduring Freedom, the global war on terrorism, and the war in Iraq-have dramatically altered the political environment of the Muslim world. Many of the forces influencing this environment, however, are the products of trends that have been at work for many decades. This book examines the major dynamics that drive changes in the religio-political landscape of the Muslim world-a vast and diverse region that stretches from Western Africa through the Middle East to the Southern Philippines and includes Muslim communities and diasporas throughout the world-and draws the implications of these trends for global security and U.S. and Western interests. It presents a typology of ideological tendencies in the different regions of the Muslim world and identifies the factors that produce religious extremism and violence. It assesses key cleavages along sectarian, ethnic, regional, and national lines and examines how those cleavages generate challenges and opportunities for the United States. Finally, the authors identify possible strategies and political and military options for the United States to pursue in response to changing conditions in this critical and volatile part of the world.
An Operational Process for Workforce Planningby Cheryl Y. Marcum Albert A. Robbert Robert M. Emmerichs
Workforce planning is an activity intended to ensure that investment in human capital results in the timely capability to effectively carry out an organization's strategic intent. This report examines the purposes of workforce planning, identifies key factors contributing to successful workforce planning, and describes a RAND-developed process for conducting workforce planning.

The groom had taken his place at the altar. The soloist was singing "Ave Maria." And in the air at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Fla., the scent of gardenias and roses lent a heady sweetness. Then shortly after 7 p.m. Jan. 22, the doors at the back of the chapel opened, and some 450 guests—from Hillary Clinton to Katie Couric to Billy Joel—were riveted by the sight of Melania Knauss, standing tall and serene in a custom-made Christian Dior gown. As she began to walk, she briefly faltered, her attendants struggling to hold her 13-ft. train and 16-ft. veil. And from the pews a cell phone rang. But nothing could spoil the moment for Knauss, 34, and her beau of six years, Donald Trump, 58. In a traditional ceremony, they knelt, they prayed, and in voices so low many guests could not hear them, they exchanged vows. "We had a little smile, but we were serious, because they are serious words," says Melania. Then her new husband kissed her not once but three times. "We completely forgot everything around us," she says. "It was just us two. It was beautiful."
And so the billionaire lord of real estate and reality TV and his Slovenian bride began life together—with the help of 45 chefs, 28 seamstresses, 100 limousine drivers and the guys who drove dozens of refrigerated trucks with some 10,000 flowers from New York to Florida to provide the all-white roses, hydrangeas, gardenias and peonies the bride had her heart set on. "I love white and wanted [the look] clean," says the new Mrs. Trump, who succeeds Ivana Trump, 55, and Maria Maples, 41, to the title. Though Knauss hired Manhattan event planner Preston Bailey, "a lot of it Melania took care of herself," says Bailey. "She really was very clear with her vision."
From selecting the size and pattern on the dinner plates (10-in., gold borders) to the soprano for the reception (New York's Camellia Johnson), Knauss micromanaged her fete with a zeal worthy of The Apprentice. While on Jan. 21 her groom played golf and guests from across the country settled in—meaning, for Kathy Lee Gifford, dropping $565 on some Manolo Blahnik mules; partying at the nightclub Resort for Star Jones Reynolds; and for Kelly Ripa, just going to bed early at her hotel—Melania checked on the silverware. And centerpieces. And a candle that had been lit only once before—at her baptism in Slovenia—that she had asked her mother, who still lives there, to bring to light again at her wedding. "I arranged everything," says the model. "I made sure everything was exactly where it should be." And it was. Inside Bethesda's stone arches, Tiffany, 11, Trump's daughter with Maples, handed guests programs before taking her seat with sister Ivanka, 23, Trump's daughter with Ivana. As an organist played selections from Handel and Bach, best men Donald Jr., 27, and Eric. 21. Trump's sons with Ivana, took their places at the altar. Meanwhile, in a private room, Knauss was figuring out how to make it down the aisle in her 60-lb. gown. As she says, "I didn't practice walking with the dress."
In the end, it was more like she floated anyway. "I just saw Donald's happy face," Knauss says, "and everything happened like, fast, wow." The Rev. Ralph R. Warren Jr. led the ceremony, Ivanka read from the Bible, and the next thing the bride and groom knew, the crowd was clapping and throwing rose petals. "It was quick but beautiful and perfect," says American Idol judge Simon Cowell. "I give it a nine."
As in Cloud Nine, no doubt. Back at Mar-a-Lago, five violinists serenaded guests chatting over caviar, lobster and truffle appetizers. Hillary Clinton talked kids with Ripa. Paul Anka playfully complained that, seated behind a pillar during the ceremony, "I couldn't see a thing!" And Katie Couric tried not to get caught videotaping the event with a camera hidden in her purse. "Life's more fun when you do illegal things," she joked. Around 10 p.m., with guests seated for dinner in the Louis XIV-style ballroom, the Trumps had their first dance, to Puccini's "Nessun Dorma." The mister dipped the missus, and the fun began. Leading the toasts, Trump's son Eric welcomed Melania into the family, saying, "I know this is the last time I'll ever have to stand up here." Donald Jr., meanwhile, told the happy couple, "I look forward to spending many years annoying both of you." Then Trump took the stage to toast his bride. "Melania and I have been together for six years," he said. "They've been the best six years of my life in every way."
And just the beginning, judging from the sight of the giddy groom onstage hugging Anka, who, like Billy Joel and Tony Bennett, sang for Trump. Cutting the cake just after midnight, Trump winked at the crowd and told everyone, "We made a wish." The specifics were secret, but his wife, who at 1 a.m. changed from her gown into a lightweight tulle Vera Wang dress, making it easier to, as she urged guests, "party all night!" offers a clue: health, happiness—and children. "We want to have a family, yes," says Melania. Trump, who carried his bride over the threshold of their Mar-a-Lago suite at 4 a.m., seems off to a good start. "Donald has always said he used to make a bad husband and a great father," says his pal and The Insider host Pat O'Brien. "He says this time around he wants to make a great father and a great husband."

JULIA ROBERTS SYMpathetically portrays a battered wife who fakes her death to escape her brutish husband, Patrick Bergin. But the script is full of outlandish turns, and Kevin Anderson, as a goody-two-shoes type who offers Roberts solace, seems far too wispy to convince anyone that he could persuade her to become involved with another man. When the bitter drama of abuse lapses into a long, cutesy-poo scene featuring Roberts trying on hats, the film takes on an air of desperation. (Fox)

Covering the bases
LEADING OFF: 1B Matt Curry underwent surgery on his right hand Wednesday after suffering a broken hamate bone Saturday at Erie. That injury typically sidelines a player for two months or more, so the Curve will be without one of their best hitters for a significant time. Curry is hitting .248 and is second on the team with 16 RBIs and third with four homers.
SAFE AT FIRST: Andrew Lambo played 1B Thursday and likely will get the bulk of the time there with Curry injured. Stefan Welch and Alex Dickerson also can play 1B.
STEALING SECOND: RHP Jeff Inman was placed on the DL Thursday with an elbow injury. Inman came out of Wednesday's game in the ninth inning at Harrisburg. RHP Jason Townsend came off the DL, while IF Justin Howard (right ankle) went on.
ROUNDING THIRD: Zack Thornton was promoted to the Curve from high-A Bradenton, where he was 2-1 with a 1.93 ERA and three saves.
HEADING HOME: Former Curve IF Jim Negrych is off to an incredible start for Triple-A Buffalo, hitting .427 through 25 games. Negrych, who hit for the cycle two weeks ago, has three homers, 17 RBIs, 13 doubles, a .477 on-base percentage and a staggering 1.154 OPS.

This Lamp is everything I thought it would be. Using a soft white light bulb, the purples and greens show perfectly! I tried using an amber bulb and the purples looked black. So, I recommend using white bulbs. Very pleased with this purchase!!
I'm elated with it. It's beautiful both lighted and unlit.

Stuart Klein is still proud of the moment when the then-Pan American College's (PAC) literary magazine "PSST" won the top award at the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association (TIPA) college magazine competition in 1955.
"We beat out all the other universities in Texas," said Klein, owner of S. Klein Galleries in McAllen.
Klein said someone at that time walked off with the awards, so with a 1955 article from the Edinburg Review publicizing the win, he was able to finally get a plaque from TIPA honoring their victory 59 years ago. He presented the plaque to the University before a room full of fellow alumni at the annual 50+ Reunion Brunch Feb. 16. Klein was among eight inductees this year into UTPA's 50+ Club for the Class of 1964 and earlier. The event has become a regular one held during the University's yearly Homecoming festivities.
UTPA President Robert S. Nelsen and Vice President for University Advancement Veronica Gonzales welcomed the 2014 inductees as well as former inductees and other alumni attending the brunch and thanked them for their contributions to the university and community.
"We treasure you. We see you come back and contribute in so many ways to the University," said Gonzales, who asked for their continued support though the Count Me In donation program or in other ways to help students. "Those gifts will support other students just like you were back in those days."
Thompson recalled getting paid $100 a month as a veteran to attend school, so he held a part-time job keeping books for a local firm while attending Pan Am. He said he received some kudos on campus then for helping solve a problem that some of the UTPA community still complain about today - parking.
"I got some recognition for a report I submitted to the Edinburg Police Department. Based on it, they changed all the parking arrangements and were able to park about twice as many cars ... I helped double the parking," he said.
Class of 1964 graduate and new inductee William C. Barker got to vividly relive a moment from his past during the event. In 1964, he crowned Cleo Hinojosa, who would graduate in 1965, as that year's Homecoming Queen. Their recreation of that moment when Barker presented her the 1964 Homecoming Queen sash and crown drew applause from the crowd.
Hinojosa, who will qualify for 50+ Club induction next year, majored in English with a minor in French and worked for 37 years in the McAllen ISD as a teacher and administrator. She retired but later returned to a new career in education. Hinojosa, who also earned her master's from UTPA in 1981, is now the regional director for the Premier High Schools Charter Schools' south region. She said she loved the size of the Pan Am back then and knowing all her classmates, many of whom have remained lifelong friends.
"I made friends with everyone in the Rio Grande Valley who attended here. I also met my husband here (Arturo Hinojosa, BA '65, MED '78). It was very special to me," said Hinojosa, who was also a Bronc cheerleader when Pan American won the NAIA basketball championship.
As a cheerleader, she recalled wearing a knee-length cheer skirt and doing a special jig when the Broncs came in.
Hinojosa described the upcoming UTRGV as exciting.
"I'm for it all the way. That's really going to put us on the map. We will never lose our Bronc pride, we'll have it deep in our heart but we do need to keep helping people and this is the way to do it," she said.
Other 50-Plus Club inductees this year were Richard J. Hardebeck ('61), Kenneth J. Lang ('63), Catalina R. Sosa ('64), Juanita De Leon ('64), and John E. Zamora ('64).
Alumni and community members are invited to the UTPA's 2014 Alumni Ball with a Great Gatsby theme planned for March 29. During the ball, guests will get to meet this year's Pillars of Success, alumni highlighted for their success and contributions locally and worldwide. For more information on the 50+ Club or the ball, go to the Alumni Relations website. To learn more on how to help students or provide support for programs and research at UT Pan American, contact the Development Office at (956) 665-5301 or visit the office's website.

Absolute Power: The Legacy of Corruption in the Clinton-Reno Justice Departmentby David Limbaugh
Limbaugh, a nationally syndicated columnist and a political commentator, shows how federal law was politicized and precedents were set for a legal war against the rule of law and the traditional civil liberties of the US during the Clinton administration, beginning with Clinton's appointment of Janet Reno as attorney general. The author is brother of radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Crimes Against Libertyby David Limbaugh
FROM THE NEW INTRODUCTIONObama presents an image of a man wholly unfazed by the debt crisis. This leaves conservatives, and a growing number of independents, scratching their heads wondering how any president could so zealously obstruct the reforms necessary to save the nation. More and more Americans are wondering whether Obama is merely incompetent, or if he's following some kind of Machiavellian scheme to deliberately damage the nation's financial future.. . . To assume Obama has the best interests of this nation at heart offers little comfort. For regardless of his ultimate motives, one thing is clear: he is pursuing an agenda that, unless reversed, will destroy the nation. The inescapable fact is that Obama is an incorrigible leftist ideologue who is unable to comprehend the glaring signs that his policies don't work.
Crimes Against Liberty: An Indictment of President Barack Obamaby David Limbaugh
Limbaugh issues a damning indictment of President Barack Obama for encroaching upon and stripping of individual and sovereign rights of Americans.
The Emmaus Code: How Jesus Reveals Himself Through The Scripturesby David Limbaugh
A New York Times Bestseller! In the 2014 New York Times bestseller Jesus on Trial, David Limbaugh made a case for the Gospels as hard evidence of the existence of God, drawing on his own spiritual journey from skeptic to believer. Now, in The Emmaus Code, Limbaugh unlocks the mysteries of the Old Testament and reveals hints of Jesus Christ's arrival through all thirty-nine Old Testament books. The key to the secrets of the Old Testament, Limbaugh argues, is the crucial New Testament encounter between the risen Jesus and two travelers on the road to Emmaus. With that key, and with Limbaugh as a deft guide, readers of The Emmaus Code will come to a startling new understanding of the Old Testament as a clear and powerful heralding of Jesus Christ's arrival. Limbaugh takes readers on a revealing journey from Genesis through Malachi, demonstrating that a consistent message courses through every one of the Old Testament's thirty-nine books: the power, wonder, and everlasting love of Jesus Christ.
The Great Destroyerby David Limbaugh
In his #1 New York Times bestseller Crimes Against Liberty, David Limbaugh penned a damning indictment of President Barack Obama's misrule during his first two years in office. In Limbaugh's blockbuster new book, The Great Destroyer, he sets his sights on the remainder of Obama's presidency revealing President Obama's latest crimes against liberty. Exposing Obama's counterfeit image as a champion of bipartisan compromise, Limbaugh relates in shocking detail how the president resorts to class-warfare demagoguery to advance a stunningly ideological agenda. The Great Destroyer also reveals how Obama's left-wing policies have become increasingly destructive to the nation, putting America on a collision course with fiscal ruin and international powerlessness. We must drastically change course, Limbaugh argues, or else our country will fall into an abyss that could take generations from which to escape. Controversial, compelling, and original, The Great Destroyer ingeniously picks up where Crimes AgainstLiberty left off, and is Limbaugh's most powerful book yet.
The Great Destroyer: Barack Obama's War on the Republicby David Limbaugh
When it comes to our prosperity, our freedom tradition, and our constitutional government, President Barack Obama has been the great destroyer - knocking down the free-market economy and principles of limited government that have made America the envy of the world. So argues David Limbaugh in his blockbuster new book, The Great Destroyer. In this highly-anticipated sequel to his #1 New York Times bestseller, Crimes Against Liberty, Limbaugh unveils the reality behind the administration's rhetoric and makes the case that the Obama administration is a real and present danger to America's future. The Great Destroyer shows how President Obama has unleashed a series of unchecked attacks on every aspect of America's way of life. Citing detailed examples, Limbaugh exposes the administration's reckless use of executive orders, unprecedented recess appointments, and shameful groveling to foreign leaders. In The Great Destroyer you'll learn: The true costs of Obama's crony capitalism scandals - it's even worse than you think; How Obama spends our economy into oblivion while relentlessly demonizing those who try to stop the bleeding; How the Obama administration has repeatedly, almost systematically, violated the Constitution to achieve its goals; How the Obama administration has empowered shadowy unelected bureaucrats to determine how we live, and the successes they already have in doing that; and much more. Devastating and compelling, there is no more comprehensive indictment of the Obama administration as it seeks re-election than The Great Destroyer. It is a book that every American worried about the future of our country must read.
Jesus on Trialby David Limbaugh
New York Times Bestseller!In Jesus on Trial, New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh applies his lifetime of legal experience to a unique new undertaking: making a case for the gospels as hard evidence of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and former professor of law, approaches the canonical gospels with the same level of scrutiny he would apply to any legal document and asks all the necessary questions about the story of Jesus told through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. His analysis of the texts becomes profoundly personal as he reflects on his own spiritual and intellectual odyssey from determined skeptic to devout Christian. Ultimately, Limbaugh concludes that the words Christians have treasured for centuries stand up to his exhaustive inquiry-including his examination of historical and religious evidence beyond the gospels-and thereby affirms Christian faith, spirituality, and tradition.
Jesus On Trial: A Lawyer Affirms The Truth Of The Gospelby David Limbaugh

Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianityby David Limbaugh
Persecution -- that's the name for it. Tolerance might be the highest virtue in our popular culture, but it doesn't often extend to Christians these days. Christians are increasingly being driven from public life, denied their First Amendment rights, and even actively discriminated against for their beliefs. In this relentless exposé of political correctness run amok, best-selling author David Limbaugh rips apart the liberal hypocrisy that condones selective mistreatment of Christians in the mainstream media, Hollywood, our schools and universities, and throughout our public life. In Persecution you'll enter the hotly contested battle for the soul of our public schools. Here are appalling -- but true -- stories of how anti-Christian social engineers not only prohibit school prayer and forbid students from wearing Christian symbols, like a simple cross, but even expunge the real story of Christianity in America from history textbooks. Worse still, in the name of "diversity," "tolerance," "multiculturalism," and "sex education," the social engineers actively inculcate hatred of Christianity as ignorant, repressive, and offensive. Not exactly the agenda of most parents whose tax dollars support the public schools.

For five generations, my family has been working the land in Bonny Doon, CA growing premium wine grapes.

Established in 1981, Cinnabar is a small, family-owned winery with roots in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Sourced from diverse California vineyards, our handcrafted wines express a unique sense of place and reflect a commitment to excellence you can taste.
Winemaker George Troquato combines flavorful grapes with traditional winemaking methods to compose the Medallion Series and Watermark Portfolio of wines. Vineyards are selected after a thorough screening of soils, climate and cultural practices as well as a formal tasting of their library wines. The fruit is hand harvested in the morning cool and swiftly moved to nearby cellars where it is gently handled with state-of-the-art equipment. Carefully fermented in stainless steel tanks or small oak barrels, the wines are imprinted with distinct off-the-vine aromas and flavors.
Clos LaChance WinesClos LaChance Wines
In 1987, co-owners Bill and Brenda Murphy decided to plant a few rows of Chardonnay in their Saratoga backyard, both for landscaping purposes and to realize their dreams of being small-scale vintners. A few years later, the wines produced from this small backyard vineyard were good enough to sell to the public. It was at this point that Clos LaChance formed into a commercial winery. The first released wines were from the 1992 vintage. The next 15 years would take the Murphy's from 200 cases of wine produced to 80,000; 3/4 of an acre to 150 acres planted and 20 full-time and 25 seasonal employees.
Clos LaChance Winery takes its name from the small fenced-in area encompassing a vineyard (Clos) and from co-owner Brenda Murphy's maiden name (LaChance). The Murphy's chose the Hummingbird as the winery's symbol for both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to keep other birds away from the grapes.
Together with their daughters, Bill and Brenda have created a multi-generational, family-owned and operated winery. It is their dream that the third generation will eventually take over the business.
The winery is located in San Martin, CA, within the Central Coast American Viticultural Area. Tucked into the beautiful Hayes Valley, Clos LaChance is a true wine country experience located only 30 minutes from the Silicon Valley. Click here for more information about visiting Clos LaChance Winery.
Being a good steward of land and resources are key components in Clos LaChance's winemaking practice. The family is especially vested in the sustainability of the winery and vineyard with the homes of creating a legacy for their children and grandchildren. Clos LaChance Winery and Estate Vineyard is proud to be Certified Sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance.

Domenico WineryDomenico WineryContact: MIchael Annunziata
Dominick and Gloria Chirichillo's choice of name for their winery is a reflection of their commitment to their Italian heritage and the tradition of family winemaking. In 1955 in New York, Dominick who is called Domenico in Italian was introduced to these traditions by his Nonno (grandfather), Domenico Giovinazzo. In the basement of their home was a wine press that Nonno showed Dominick; passing down from one generation to another the love of handcrafting wine.
Dominick's passion for winemaking took him from amateur competitions, while he lived on the East Coast, to commercial status after moving to Northern California. Moving to California has enabled Dominick to choose his grapes hands-on from selected vineyards in Napa Valley, Sonoma's Central Coast, Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, Amador County and the Lodi District. Not to mention he is a member of the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association, where he sources Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. As of fall 2010, the wines of Domenico have won 300 Medals for wines produced from these various regions!
Prior to opening Domenico Winery, Dominick and Gloria's passion for the wine business was shared with others on both the East and West Coasts through Bacchus Winemaking Club. This membership club enabled many more people to create their own wines with custom labels. Over 200,000 cases of wine have been created by amateur winemakers on both the East and West Coasts through the years. See the website, http://www.bacchuswinemakingclub.com for more information on making your own wines.
Our recipe for success in the wine business is simple… take the finest grapes of California, add Dominick's passion, blend with family tradition, and you get wine that exudes complexity, finesse, and agreeability. We invite you to come by the winery to taste for yourself.
Domenico Winery will be opened at 10:00am and closing at 3:00pm on Saturday, July 19th, Passport Day.

MJA VineyardsMJA Vineyards
MJA Vineyards is a small family owned winery in Santa Cruz, California. We specialize in Napa Valley Cabernet, Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir, offered from our Serene Cellars and DaVine Cellars selections.
Santa Cruz Mountain VineyardSanta Cruz Mountain Vineyard
Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard has been making European-style, food-friendly, cellar-worthy wines since 1975. We are well-known for making Pinot Noir that can age beautifully for three decades.
Our basic philosophy is that wine should dance with food and make the food/wine experience more than a sum of the ingredients. This means making wines with moderate alcohol and oak so that the true characteristics of the grape varieties are expressed. You won't find any high-alcohol, jammy, oaky wines here.
In 2008 we launched a second brand, Quinta Cruz, which features only varieties that originated on the Iberian Peninsula but are now grown here in California. These Portuguese and Spanish varieties include Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Souzao, Graciano, and Tinto Cão.
After more-or-less hiding away in the mountains for 32 years, the winery moved into the city of Santa Cruz in 2008 and opened the first tasting room in our long history. We are located in an area where you can walk to many other tasting rooms nearby and are only a few blocks from the beach and Natural Bridges State Park.
Tasting Room is Open Seven Days a Week for the Summer!
Savannah-Chanelle VineyardsSavannah-Chanelle Vineyards
Savannah-Chanelle produces in the range of eight to ten thousand cases annually, with over 80 percent dedicated to Pinot Noir, the winery's raison d'être. Michael Ballard and Winemaker Tony Craig (former head winemaker of David Bruce Winery) have joined forces based on their mutual passion for making Pinot Noir wines. Tony continues to produce our small lot, limited Estate wines as well as our wonderful "Coast View" Syrah made from a small, single vineyard site located high in the Gavilian Mountain range above Monterey, California.
Conveniently located only 3.3 miles from the Village of Saratoga, this working winery is close to Silicon Valley but worlds away from the everyday business environment.
Silvertip VineyardsSilvertip Vineyards
Founded on the principle that great wine can only come from a great source, Silvertip Vineyards was begun with the intent of producing wines that express the uniqueness of the soil and climate of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
In 1967 Gerald Nelson purchased 162 acres of Santa Cruz Mountain land, and soon after planted the land with Christmas trees. For 30 years, the property was known as Nelson's Christmas Tree Farm and the family grew a variety of Christmas trees, the most prized trees among them were the slow growing Silvertip Firs.
In 1999 the Nelson family decided to exchange Christmas trees for grape vines and 9 acres of Pinot Noir and Syrah were planted. Over the years since establishing the vineyard, the high quality fruit that the estate produces has been sold to numerous wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains. In 2008 the family decided to venture out on their own and create a brand that could highlight the exceptional character of the fruit produced from the estate.
Silvertip Vineyards began with the intent to produce nothing less than some of the finest Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah that California can produce. With a dedication to the unique terroir of the vineyard, the mission is to create wines that will not only prove worthy of ageing, but will also inspire, delight, and bring joy to the senses.

Boxing gives you so much confidence in a street fight!
Boxing may not give you a huge advantage over the average hard-nut on the street, but the confidence it gives you shouldn't be understated.
I started boxing in 2007 and have had quite a few amateur fights (mainly inter-gym fights) so I'm quite schooled in the basics despite not being able to commit more than a couple of hours a week to the sport.
Anyway, I'm not the type of guy to get involved in fights, especially not against local idiots who are just looking for a drunken scrap after a night out. However, me and my mate were walking to his flat after a fun friday night filled with heavy drinking, when three arseho*es decided they would harass us for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
One lad got up in my face and asked me where I came from, so I told him, and he said something along the lines of 'you need to get out of my area' in a gangster/chav tone of voice, which I found hilarious since we were in the middle of a small town centre in England.
I thought they were going to leave us alone and walk on when one of the lads dropped my mate and I thought here we go. Two of the lads then set up me, but I wasn't fazed at all. I remember being involved in fights when I was younger and I used to shake I was that nervous. Though I was surprisingly calm despite two big lads throwing hilariously mistimed punches in my general direction. I even began throwing a few jabs and feinting a bit as well. One of the guys then got a bit close and I got clipped around the eye, which is when I thought this is getting serious, and and decided to hit him with a right hook that landed square on his unprotected chin (drunken chavs always seem to fight with their hands at their sides haha) and he fell to the floor and started grunting like a pig unconscious. The other guys then backed off down a side alley.
I spent the rest of the night in a hospital waiting room where my friend received treatment for a badly cut eye. We're lucky that the boxing training I have received solved the situation before it was solved for us. Six years ago I might have ran off or fought stupid and got my head stamped in. Now I just kept calm and turned a bad situation into a better one. Confidence and keeping a level head being key.

I've never actually been in a street fight before but if I think one is arising I stay calm and dissolve the situation with more confidence than I would if I didn't have boxing. You just know that you have a rough idea what you're doing so if something does go wrong, you've got more than a decent chance.

Feints and sound-effects are two of the most coward tactics in boxing.

cool story. dont know why you said boxing dont give you a huge advantage in a street fight. though maybe it didnt back in the 30's when the average man knew how to fight not to mention had a pair. but today it gives you a huge advantage, most ppl dont know how to fight at all, nor do they have the courage to do so unless they feel they have some kind of big advantage. still they tell themselves they are tough and act hard, all the time you spent on this site you should know all about it.
my point is knowing how to throw a punch and how to avoid one is quite an advantage when the average street fighter throws wide punches you can see coming from the moon with his chin hanging out to dry.

Club President Marie Mizell said many of the 60 awards won each year have been to non-club members.
"It's such a thrill to see someone who has never entered the show before bring in their camellias and win a prize," Mizell said. "Several years ago, a 9-year-old won a first-place award. You never know what camellia bloom will win a prize."
Lynnette Soules, publicity chair for the club, said the show is accredited by the American Camellia Society, and names of winners will be placed in the ACS national register of winners.
Judging takes place at 11 a.m.
The show is open to the public from 2 to 4 p.m.
Soules said the blooms are placed on tables according to variety, color and size. Some blooms are dinner-plate size, and others are the size of a quarter.
There is a novice category for newcomers to the show, Soules added.
Also, there will be free informational materials available on such topics as fertilizing, pruning and transplanting.
Admission is free.
Another popular part of the show, Soules said, is camellia identification. Show Chairman Nick Piazza said that over the years, numerous visitors to the show have brought in blooms to be identified.
Plant sales begin at 9 a.m., with about 100 potted camellia plants available.
"The plants are of excellent quality and are grown locally," Soules said. "There will be several popular varieties and also other newly hybridized varieties."
