Higher costs for energy and food last year pushed inflation up by the largest amount in 17 years. The industrial output was flat in December, which is more evidence of a significant slowdown in the economy.
Click the play button for more with CBN News reporter Charlene Israel and a Newswatch interview with economist Alan Reynolds.
Consumers turned into penny pinchers in December, wrapping up the weakest sales year since 2002 and also fanning fears of a recession.
The rising risk of inflation has prompted lawmakers to consider stimulus packages to give the economy a jump-start to either prevent a recession or at least lessen the severity of its fallout.
"The December downturn in retail sales and new concerns that auto loans and credit card payments could follow the pattern of mortgage payments and head south makes quick action on a stimulus package all the more necessary," said Sen. Charles Schumer D-NY, the chairman of the United States Congress Joint Economic Committee.
The Federal Reserve is closely watching to see whether the jump in food and energy prices becomes more widespread and starts pushing overall inflation higher.
On Tuesday, Citigroup announced a fourth quarter loss of nearly $10 billion and over $18 billion in bad investments.
"It's suggested that the global growth outlook has taken a downturn beyond what we were expecting, beyond what markets were expecting up until Christmas," said Martin Duncan, an equity strategist with JP Morgan.
Citigroup and Merrill Lynch have raised funds from foreign investors to help them deal with their losses from the mortgage mess.
Asian markets plunged early Wednesday on worries that the U.S. might fall into a recession. Such an event could lead to a slowdown in the global economy.
Analysts hope 2008 will be a year when things bottom out and things begin to recover in 2009.

Rainbow Sandals
Rainbow Sandals delivers top quality sandals that are second to none.
It began over 35 years ago. It was another beautiful day at the beach ... when I saw yet another broken sandal littering the very beach I was enjoying. It gave me an idea. Why not make a better sandal, one that would last a long time and be comfortable? So the process began. I researched and experimented until the formula was just right. The final product was Rainbow Sandals, quality sandals that are second to none.

• We prospectively studied 35 patients with blunt chest trauma using ECG multi-gated and first-pass nuclear angiography. Radionuclide angiography (RNA) is a sensitive test of myocardial function demonstrating right and left ventricular ejection fractions. First-pass angiography, in addition, shows left ventricular segmental wall motion, a qualitative as well as anatomic indicator of left ventricular function. We saw RNA abnormalities in 26 patients (74.2%). Eight patients (22.8%) had ECG abnormalities, and these findings correlated with RNA, suggesting that this technique is a very sensitive indicator of myocardial dysfunction following trauma. These studies warrant further experimental and clinical evaluations to determine the cause, significance, and long-term prognosis of posttraumatic myocardial dysfunction.

Hello everyone!
I have been a gamer for practically my whole life. Sense I was in middle school and possibly younger to. And flash games are no different. In some cases, they are even better then the ones the blockbuster studios produce.
So why did I choose kongregate? Well, the reason is simple. I want to be able to help independent game developers improve. By providing constructive feedback in a professional way, I can do just that.
So if you have a game you want me to check out, send me a message and I will give it a go. Happy gaming everyone!

The Source for Interventional
News and Education
For most patients receiving drug-eluting stents for coronary bifurcation disease, the alternative strategies of mini-crush stenting with 2 stents or provisional T stenting provide comparable procedural success with low complication rates and a similar incidence of longer-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE). However, the initial 2-stent approach yields a lower rate of angiographic restenosis in both the main and side branches, according to a paper published in the March 2009 issue of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.
For the retrospective single-center study, Alfredo R. Galassi, MD, and colleagues of Ferrarotto Hospital (Catania, Italy), looked at 457 consecutive patients who were treated with either the 2-stent mini-crush technique (n = 199) or the T-provisional approach (258), in which a second stent is used only if deemed necessary by the operator. In the provisional group, 88 patients (34%) eventually received a second stent.
At 9-month angiographic follow-up, after propensity score adjustment for baseline differences, there was significantly lower restenosis in both the main and side branches in the mini-crush group compared with patients in the provisional group who received a single stent (HR 0.52, 95% CI, 0.27-0.99; P = 0.047, and HR 0.41, 95% CI, 0.20-0.85; P = 0.016, respectively). Compared to the entire provisional group (with or without a second stent), restenosis was significantly reduced in the 2-stent mini-crush group only for the side branch (HR 0.55, 95% CI, 0.37-0.82; P = 0.004).
Little Difference in Clinical Outcomes
Clinical follow-up at a mean of 25 months showed no significant differences among the groups in rates of MACE (cardiac death, AMI, and TVR) or TLR. However, target bifurcation revascularization (TBR) was lower in the mini-crush group compared with the 2-stent provisional group. (TBR was defined as repeat revascularization with a stenosis ≥50% within 5 mm proximal or distal to the carina of bifurcation, onto the main branch and/or side branch.) In addition, rates of late stent thrombosis were low and comparable for all groups (table 1).

A Challenge to the Current Paradigm?
The authors write, "These results may confirm the advantage of using a prescheduled 2-stent technique to give complete coverage of the side branch's ostium as compared with a provisional technique, whether or not a second bail-out stent is needed."
In an accompanying editorial, Aaron V. Kaplan, MD, of Dartmouth Medical School (Lebanon, NH), observed that despite the higher-risk angiographic characteristics and greater lesion lengths of the patients who received the mini-crush technique, they garnered a 60% reduction in restenosis rates in the side branch and a 21% reduction in MACE compared to the T-provisional patients. Because of the increased complexity and cost of the mini-crush procedure, he added, "one would expect that this technique would be reserved for higher-risk patients."
This study appears to challenge the paradigm of provisional stenting as the default approach to bifurcation lesions, Gregg W. Stone, MD, of Columbia University Medical Center (New York, NY), told TCTMD in a telephone interview. "But we need to be very careful about drawing that conclusion from this single-center nonrandomized study," he said, noting factors that suggest imbalance in the study groups, such as lower use of kissing balloon dilatation after the provisional approach with 2 stents compared with the mini-crush technique.
"When you critically examine the prior studies," Dr. Stone continued, "you see that for very simple side branch lesions, most show that the provisional approach is superior, with equal or better outcomes and less periprocedural myonecrosis . . . . When it comes to more complex side branch lesions, that's really a question. Many of the randomized trials have not examined that yet." One that came closest to doing so, Dr. Stone noted, is the CACTUS trial (Circulation. 2009;119:71-78) led by Antonio Colombo, MD, of San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy).
An Old Debate Rendered Obsolete?
In an e-mail communication with TCTMD, Dr. Colombo wrote, "The old debate of 1 or 2 stents for every bifurcation is obsolete. The important message which comes out of the experience of Dr. Galassi and from CACTUS is that the implantation of 2 stents does not give poor angiographic and clinical results. This does not mean that we should implant 2 stents in every bifurcation—it means that when 2 stents are needed, the act of implanting 2 stents should not be considered a failure, or a complication, or a precursor of stent thrombosis."
Dr. Colombo added, "The important challenges we need to face now are: How can we identify the bifurcations which will need 2 stents, and what are the technical caveats we should know when implanting 2 stents.
"In my view, the side branches which may require an additional stent as intention-to-treat are (1) those with disease extending beyond the ostium, (2) those that develop a dissection after predilatation, and (3) those with a baseline very severe narrowing, such as a stenosis of 90% or more . . . . Another general rule is that the side branch should be at least 2.5 mm in diameter," although there are exceptions, he noted.
"The consideration I always try to teach is that it is not the technique that matters—including 1 or 2 stents—but the final result that you achieve," Dr. Colombo concluded.

History Center & Museum
where history comes to life!
Welcome to the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, where history comes alive! The History Center was organized for the purpose of preserving the history of Cannon Beach by seeking, collecting, and protecting historical memorabilia of all kinds, by recording oral histories, and by making these materials available to the public whenever possible.
We invite you to explore our many programs and resources for historical study, read our newsletters, learn how you can volunteer or support the History Center, view historic Cannon Beach photos, or shop history at the Museum Store. Stop by for a visit to the History Center, located on the corner of Spruce and Sunset in Cannon Beach, and let a little history into your life. Open Wednesday through Monday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is FREE, but donations are gladly accepted!
The CBHCM is currently raising funds to help create and install a new temperature and humidity controlled exhibit space for the cannon that Cannon Beach was named for and the accompanying capstan (an anchor's mount). In 2012, the CBHCM sent the cannon and capstan to Texas A&M University to undergo an extensive conservation process that took over a year to complete. We now need help to create and install a new exhibit space that will control the proper humidity, temperature, and light exposures so that generations of Oregonians can again visit this town icon. To find out more information about the cannon and capstan, click here. To help bring back our town's icon, you can help by donating through our website or through our GoFundMe page.

With the exception of a two year sabbatical around the turn of the Millennium, Rovers' 20 year adventure in the top flight of English football is almost at an end. We've had great fun along the way with far more ups than downs and memories to last a lifetime, which Venkys, Steve Kean and the Rovers' PR machine can never take away from us. But following the latest debacle of this nonsense of a season the reality is that we will be starting a new chapter of the club's history in a different division next season. I guess the fans' were right after all...
Just as day turns into night, it was inevitable that Steve Kean would big up our chances of survival after the shambles of Swansea. The master tactician reckons that two wins and a draw from the remaining four games will be enough to survive, but can anyone see this happening given current form and internal strife at the club?
Rovers were eventually undone at Ewood on Monday night by two strikes of the cane from a United side who look destined to claim their 20th title. In the process, Rovers were pushed into the deep end and submerged with a frantic fight for survival which lying ahead.
For 80 minutes Rovers held the visitors and if it wasn't for the brilliance of De Gea we may have been looking at a different league table this morning. Rovers battled and pressurised United, however they rarely moved out of first gear and the sloth like Scholes was able to dictate the pace of the game to suit his team's needs. Sadly for Rovers, it was the substitution of the flame haired veteran which changed the course of the game and gave United the one commodity that they had been lacking throughout which was pace.

BayHawks open four-game trip at Maine
The BayHawks head back on the road for four straight games starting today in Maine after a not-so-kind homestand.
On the heels of back-to-back road wins, the BayHawks (13-29) returned to Erie Insurance Arena last week and dropped three straight. In the process, they were officially eliminated from D-League playoff contention and matched their single-season franchise high for losses.
They'll try to change their fortunes on the road against the Red Claws (17-24), who have won all three meetings this season -- all at Portland Expo.
Micah Downs led the BayHawks with 22 points in Friday's 107-104 loss to Springfield.
The BayHawks dressed only eight players because of an injury to center Solomon Jones and Ricky Davis' absence because of what coach Gene Cross called "personal reasons."
It's unclear whether Jones or Davis will play today.
Guard Sean Singletary, acquired last month, remains sidelined with a leg injury that has been slow to respond to treatment, Cross said.
Singletary has appeared in three games, and Cross said he's unlikely to be activated anytime soon.

Problem With Small Numbers
A quote from which I do not remember where and cannot find:
"The problem with small numbers is there are not enough of them to exhibit all behaviors demanded of them."
The original demonstration had something to do with the relation to the number of prime numbers below (x) and log (x). The graphs of these two functions cross infinitely often, but the first crossing was some ridiculously high number (I think it was somewhere along the lines of 10^10^something).
On a related note, graphing extreme or missing numbers can be a hassle. For example, suppose you remove division-by-zero's from a list of values. When you go to graph these, many graphing/charting engines either don't handle missing values, or don't give a lot of options for missing values. An example is missing days in day/time X-axis plots. A work-around is to only plot points and not lines. But the customer sometimes expects lines. (Related:
) Another ugly work-around is to treat them as zero, and put a disclaimer at the bottom. Sometimes one can simply skip the missing days, with a disclaimer, but this makes the X-axis non-proportional.

Producers and musicians, as well as brothers, Dave and Steve Gordon have been putting out a generous amount of releases—either individually or together—for a while now, making the duo a mainstay on the chill-out scene. Their nice combination of groove artists and spiritual solace seekers gets you dancing if you want to, but it can send you into a deep meditative trance as well. Yoga Planet was designed for moving through a series of yoga poses, and the Gordons seem keyed in to just what sounds and tempos best suit the mixture of exercise and contemplation that are daily asanas. Each track offers a low, steady soulful beat, spine-tingling electronic sounds, whooshing and purring ambience, flutes, percussion, vibes, strength, love, power, everything the body needs to get closer to its healing source.
With simple, propulsive bass lines, "Gliding in Azure" comes rolling out like the notches of your spine in a slow downward-facing dog before settling into a deep reggae bass line with a twirling-backward melodic back end, jangling tambourine, wood blocks, and alternating currents of lowrider groove and deep dub. "Dream Wave" takes things down a notch to a steady, sparkling flow of drums and glistening synthesizer melody, while "Asana Lounge," with its low, funky Middle Eastern glamour, chimes, and rain-stick rattlesnake off-beats is just the thing for winding down in order to wind up again. Lurching nice and slow into a reverb-drenched synth melody, the track simultaneously delivers the pulse-setting grooves and takes a back step so you've got lots of room to mellow out.
Yoga Planet isn't just for yoga though. It works well as party music for a sophisticated cocktail party or a late-night, post-club slow-dance-athon, as evinced by the lounge-lizard vibes of "Luminous Sunset" (you can almost hear the sounds of sophisticated happy-hour revelers in the background). The Gordons can do it all, and with Yoga Planet they've created a unified work that transcends its modest ambitions to become a nice any-occasion sort of disc. A portion of the album sale proceeds go to the Save the Rainforest network, so you know their hearts are in the right place, but you would know that from the music. The Gordon Brothers don't have to say a word—there are no vocals—to make it clear that they know their stuff.

Answer: If Viking includes ground transfers with its air packages, then you should have received them. But I'm not sure if it explicitly promises the transfers.
At the time you made your purchase (the language has since been modified, but I'll get to that in a moment) the promotional copy might have left you with the impression that transfers were included. But anyone with a working knowledge of the cruise industry, like a competent travel agent, would have known that's not necessarily the case.
A closer reading of Viking's terms would have revealed that transfers do not apply on non-embarkation days or dates that don't coincide with tour dates. Nor do they apply to non-Viking-related hotels, such as the properties you planned to visit in Russia.
You had two things in your favor: First, the vagueness of the promotional language, and second, the apparent difficulty you had getting a clear answer to your request.
I think this could have been avoided by reading Viking's terms closely or working with a qualified travel agent, who could have advised you about the transfers. In reviewing your correspondence, I see you spent a fair amount of time on the phone, too. When dealing with this type of request, it's usually best to make your request in writing. That way, you'll have a paper trail if there's ever any disagreement with the company.
I contacted Viking on your behalf. In addition to taking care of your transfers as "an exception" to its policy, a spokeswoman told me Viking is reviewing its terms and conditions as it applies to transfers and will "update it accordingly to ensure the verbiage is as clear as possible."

Higgins also played trombone and trumpet. He moved from his native Gary to Los Angeles in 1940 as a teen. Higgins played trumpet in his high school band and later attended the Los Angeles Conservatory. While there, Higgins started a band with pianist Frank Dunn and saxophonist Johnny Parker, among others. Higgins later became the band's saxophonist and wrote "Pachuko Hop." Its furious pace, roaring sax solo, and raw sound, plus the inclusion of the term "Pachuko," which was slang for a Mexican-American dressed in baggy pants with a key chain, made the song a '50s anthem for area Latinos. The B-side, "Motorhead Baby," was later the inspiration for Frank Zappa sideman James "Motorhead" Sherwood and the heavy metal band Motorhead. Higgins played dates in Los Angeles with everyone from Charlie Parker to The Orioles and his band at one point included Johnny "Guitar" Watson. Although none of Higgins' many singles for Aladdin, Caddy, Lucky, Specialty, or Dootone ever earned national acclaim, he was an extremely popular regional attraction through the '50s and into the early '60s, when he retired from performing to become a music teacher at local high schools and a college. A comeback faltered in the mid-'70s, when Higgins tried to update his sound by going disco. He returned to honking R&B in the late '70s and toured England in the mid-'80s, while performing once more in Los Angeles clubs. Ron Wynn

Mixed media artist N Ramachandran is inspired by the geometric simplicity of S H Raza. He uses a non-representational language that interprets the truth in a different way. By using daily life themes, Ramachandran's portrayal of human forms and movement has become inspirational. What is even more extraordinary in his artworks is the use of different kinds of paper-- newspapers and tissues -- the method of paint application, and the linear arrangement of forms.He also uses photographs, and silver and metallic colors to highlight new elements in his work.

Morte and Bull Point
Note that all maps on this site are only indicative. You should
never set out without the correct OS map.
The walk takes you around two of the
most dramatic headlands to be found on the Westcountry's north
coast. It begins and ends at Mortehoe, the small village perched
on a coastal hill just a mile or so to the north of the popular
surfing beach at Woolacombe.
Basic hike: From village of Mortehoe out to the end of Morte Point
then north around Rockham Bay to Bull Point before heading inland
back to the village.
Recommended map: Ordnance
Survey Explorer 139. Distance and going: three miles easy going.
Life on a knife-edge, that's what this hike
offers. That's how it feels to walk out to the end of Morte
The rocks out there on the penultimate finger of North Devon are
of the knife-edge variety. It is an ever-narrowing land of a thousand
vertical razorbacks.
No other place is at once so beautiful and so terrible. Morte Point
Death Point is tipped by the Morte Stone, which was
known to the sailor-folk of old as the Death Stone for very good
reason. A lot of ships went down on the Morte and its wayward rock
over the centuries.
We begin our hike in Mortehoe, a mile north of Woolacombe. Parking
is tight, so find the small car park that serves the village and
negotiate the narrow street to until you see the church. A track
leads out to the point adjacent to St Mary, but tarry a while by
visiting the old temple because the historian WG Hoskins describes
it as "One of the most interesting in North Devon."
The small Norman church, "has been largely
spared by the 'restorer'," says Hoskins. Transepts
have been added down the years, but not for a very long time and,
if you are into wagon-roofs, Mortehoe's long open-timbered
example will warm the cockles of your heart. Though, the grotesque
sea monsters carved on some of the bench-ends might cool the cockles
down again.
The track which leads past the cemetery takes us out onto the upper
flanks of Morte's central ridge. Cliff flowers abound among
the many crags and sheep trundle here or there grazing upon the
salt-flavoured grasses. Far off to the west, Lundy reminds the walker
that though Morte appears to be the last vestige of terra-firma
in a large ocean there is an ultimate outpost further west.
The general impression given by Morte Point is one of lonesome
and savage wilderness, but a glance to your left will instantly
reveal the, at times, highly populated acres of Woolacombe Beach.
And the sense is identical to the one you get when circumnavigating
neighbouring Baggy Point and looking down into Croyde Bay: you are
so divorced from the holidaying hordes you feel you could be walking
in some distant universe.
Various sheep tracks and paths lead out to the
end of Morte, but I took the rather tricky one which threads its
way right down the spine. This provides the full impact created
by all those razorback rocks. They run down the ridge like the jagged
solar plates some dinosaurs used to have on their backs.
Morte Slate: that's the official name for this terrifying
rock, which looks for all the world as if it was specially designed
to rip the bellies out of ships. And this, of course, is exactly
what used to happen in the days of sail. But as I covered some of
the gory details of the local shipwrecks in my Neptune article,
I won't repeat the woeful litany here, save to say that very
few of the stricken crews survived.
It's rather odd contemplating all this maritime mayhem while
enjoying a picnic out there amid the razorbacks on a calm and sunny
day. Odd, but strangely satisfying. Crab sandwiches (available in
a remarkable home that has been converted to a shop back up in the
village) seem to have a more resonant flavour.
The coast path makes a more determined
and unified stab at travelling along the northern edge of the point.
Up and down it goes, in true coast path form, past Whiting and Oreweed
Coves to reach little Rockham Bay. The rock pools, by the way, are
god for prawns if you have a net.
But no time for that now as we climb the final ramparts of Bull
Point. This is North Devon's big corner the place where
the east-west coast of the Bristol Channel finally gives up in abeyance
to the ocean, and heads south.
Morte might be the fine and dramatic finger, but Bull is an altogether
more stolid affair around which the oceanic tides mix with those
from the channel in a stew of terrifying violence. Standing guard
over all this watery waywardness is the lighthouse and it
is along the paved lighthouse road that we wander back to Mortehoe
to complete the circular route.
And it was along this road that, several years ago, I saw Southern
Ireland. I wrote about it at the time and have the pictures to prove
it, but few people believe me. I was armed with a map, a compass
and a zoom lens so I will reiterate the claim. It was very hazy,
and very distant, but there on the horizon was a land-mass exactly
where the Knockmealdown Mountains in Ireland should be.
It was on one of those ludicrously clear days when
you can see the number plates on cars plying along the Welsh coast
opposite, but my brother reckons the curvature of the earth would
just about prevent such a view.
He might be right, but I know what I saw and would love to hear
from any reader who has been out to Bull Point on such a day. Is
Ireland visible, or have I kissed the Blarney Stone?
The lighthouse road joins a lane that leads back into Mortehoe.
A few hundred yards after entering the village you will find yourself
directly opposite the village car park.

Tony Bui makes learning fun with this poster that is entitled with a playful pun: The Alphabot. Using his favorite robots from video games, 80s and 90s cartoons, and film, Bui created this 18x24 illustration that features colorful and playful mechanical subjects. The artist says, "My dream is to work in tv/film animation. Every character I draw is a friend that I enjoy bringing to life."
Unlike your usual alphabet poster in which the characters are shaped in the form of the letters, Bui challenged his viewers to identify a variety of nostalgic robots. The main clue is that each robot's name begins with each corresponding letter. So, not only does the poster provide some some basic alphabetic facts, but you also get to know some classic retro characters. "A" is for Alpha 5, "B" is for Bill and Ted Good Robots, "C" is for C3P0, "D" is for Daft Punk, "E" is for ED-209, "F" is for Fembot, and so on. Bui seems to have a great sense of humor and states, "If you have students or children that don't know these particular robots, I will gladly visit you and reenact key scenes from television, film and video games."

Influenza 'A' strain hits Argentina: 7 dead in Buenos Aires province, one in Cordoba
Buenos Aires province health authorities confirmed on Monday that seven people have died in the last month from the influenza A virus and 40 people have been reported infected by the H1N1 strain. However the authorities do not consider it an epidemic behaviour similar to that of 2009.
According to the Buenos Aires province director of health primary care Luis Crovetto, four deaths were reported in the localities of San Martín, Tornquist, Hurlingham and Mar del Plata. Other three fatal victims were reported at Cetrángolo Hospital, located in Vicente López, in the Northern area of Buenos Aires province.
We have 40 cases in the province, 5 or 6 more than in the same period of last year, but we are certainly not before an outbreak" Crovetto said adding one of them is hospitalized in a serious condition in Quilmes locality.
The disease is not registering an epidemic behaviour like in 2009," he explained but urged people to get the flu vaccine. "This does not mean concern but rather awareness", he insisted.
Dr Salvador Pace medical chief of the Cetrangolo Hospital said that they received four patients, three died and the other one is in serious condition. However they were 'middle age cases with associated weaknesses which made them more vulnerable, and they were not vaccinated".
Last Thursday the province of Cordoba in Central Argentina reported the first fatal case of the A flu H1N1 strain. Currently there are forty hospitalized patients in Cordoba with the symptoms and long queues waiting to be vaccinated.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Office of Student AffairsPhone: 724-805-2564FAX: 724-532-5041
Students new to the college or those without roommates at the time of housing selection are assigned a roommate by the Dean of Students. Every effort is made to match students with common interests and behavioral habits. However, roommate pairings are not always successful even when the student selects his/her own. Students experiencing roommate difficulties should speak with their Prefect (resident assistant) and Residence Hall Director (RHD) to develop a plan to resolve the situation. In the event a conflict cannot be resolved, the Dean of Students will aid the student to identify other potential roommates. Room changes are not usually granted until the fourth week of the fall semester for first year students and the second week for upper class students. If a student finds him or herself without a roommate, it is the responsibility of the student to secure a roommate, adhere to the consolidation policy, or pay the $1,834 surcharge per semester to purchase the room as a single (space permitting).

Advice Vs Patterns
Discussed over beer at
, after considering some pattern languages we had recently read and written: Some good advice is just good advice, not necessarily a pattern. "To get to the gas station, turn left at the next light." is easily one. Recipe for making coffee cake is another.
I'm pretty much with you on this one, Alistair, although it seems to me that even the best patterns we know are still just advice. For most any pattern we can think of, the resolution of the forces is subject to details of their magnitude and to forces that aren't mentioned in the pattern. "Oh, didn't I mention that we have 100 million instances and we can't afford to migrate them ..."
I sometimes think the pattern
is a better way of communicating organizational advice, better than it is for technical advice. In the organizational situation we can speak to what the reader may be feeling, then say, So if you are feeling this and this, you might want to try such and so. --
As I noted in
(a bit late to take part in the discussion): maybe a simple but important aspect of Christopher Alexanders pattern concept has been lost in all these definitions and discussions: "A pattern is
an object
that is a proven solution to a problem in a context." There is good advice that solves a problem in the form of a strategy. The difference is that a pattern (an object) works by its existence, a strategy has to be applied by someone. --

French label Maje are having one of those Brigitte Bardot dalliances and are releasing a limited collection of 5 t-shirts with iconic images of the French star. Bardot has one of those enduring images which has spawned a thousand clones, and her looks are as up to date today as they ever were. The likes of Sienna Miller, Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer owe a lot of their style to Bardot, which you can clearly see on these t-shirts. In fact, it's pretty hard to tell who some of the images are, so ubiquitous is her style.
Hugely expensive at over a hundred quid per shirt, but wonderful tees, nonetheless, and a fashionistas dream!

MARTINSBURG - At their monthly meeting last week, Eastern Regional Airport Authority members approved a lease agreement with Joanne Cooke of Gourmet Cooke Catering to use the airport terminal's restaurant and kitchen for her business.
"I would use it as a catering event space, that's my background and experience," Cooke told authority members. "I've built up a clientele and they ask where there is a space for catering. This would be a good space."
She added that in the future, she might open a restaurant there, but for now, it would be a catering event site.
The last restaurant to operate on the second floor of the airport terminal was The Landing, which opened in December 2010 and closed after about a year.
Before that, The Runway restaurant operated at the terminal for several years until closing in 2010.
The new airport terminal opened in 2005.
The facility includes a 75-seat dining room, wet bar and commercial kitchen.
Airport Authority member George Cornwell said that event space is needed throughout the region.
"This might have a better chance of success than a restaurant," he said.
Cooke turned her lifelong hobby into a full-time career when she opened Gourmet Cooke in 2010, according to the catering company's website.
The lease is effective for one year starting April 1, and automatically renews unless either party gives 30 days' notice to cancel the agreement. The lease is for $894 per month and Cooke will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining the kitchen and carpets.
Also at Tuesday's meeting, Airport Authority members voted to table a proposal by Tim Doreen of Middletown, Md., to build a private aircraft hanger on airport property. Doreen has a construction company in Middletown called South Mountain Builders, according to the company's website.
Doreen proposed to build a 50-foot-by-50-foot metal hangar next to the Civilian Air Patrol hangar across the parking lot from the airport terminal.
According to the proposal he sent to the Airport Authority, the construction cost of the hangar would be $75,000. He would pay property taxes on the structure. The Airport Authority would retain ownership of the land.
Doreen wants a 25-year land lease agreement with the authority after which, the hangar would become the property of the authority. He would have first right of refusal to rent the hangar for an additional five years at $300 per month.
In the meantime, he does not want to pay a land lease fee to the authority.
"I would not want to pay rent in the initial stages to give me time to recoup the expenses to build the hangar," Doreen said.
Other privately owned facilities on airport property pay a land lease fee, although the amounts vary depending on how the arrangements were made.
Authority member Hunter Wilson said that when the authority adopted its revised Minimum Operating Standards and Airport Rules and Regulations in 2010, the land lease agreements and fees were standardized.
There was a question if a grace period was offered several years ago to another person who built a private hangar on airport property before that person had to start paying rent for the land.
"There should be a modest fee to lease the land," Airport Authority Chairman Rick Wachtel said. "I recommend we table this until we can research the other lease."

Berkeley County Sheriff Wayne DeWitt released a statement Friday describing his position on gun control.
Quite simply, I am a firm supporter of the Second Amendment (the right to bear arms). In addition, I took the oath of office to support and comply with the Constitution of the United States of America of which the Second Amendment is attached, DeWitt said.
Dewitts statement follows that of Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon. Cannon said Thursday he would ignore any proposed gun-control measures he deems unconstitutional, joining a growing chorus of lawmen across the nation opposed to new firearm restrictions.
Dewitt said in his statement, Hopefully, Congress will review the proposed legislation and uphold the beliefs of our founding fathers. I will be favorable, as I am sure most Americans would be, to enhance laws to keep guns out of the hands of criminals convicted of felonies and violent crimes as well as those determined to be mentally ill.
Spokesman Dan Moon said DeWitt would not discuss his statement further.

Hach, Rodgers co-wrote teen novel
CBS Films is developing the teen comedy "Freaky Monday" with producers Andrew Gunn and Mark Waters.
Eye's film arm has optioned the body-switching novel from "Freaky Friday" writer Heather Hach.
Hach co-wrote "Freaky Monday" with Mary Rodgers, author of the 1973 novel "Freaky Friday."
"Freaky Monday" centers on a smart but insecure girl who magically switches bodies with her sympathetic junior high English teacher for a day.
Jessica Tuchinsky and Ann Marie Sanderlin are exec producing.
"Freaky Friday," produced by Gunn, helmed by Waters and starring Lindsay Lohan, was a solid hit for Disney in 2003 with a domestic gross of $110 million.
Hach earned a Tony nomination for the book for "Legally Blonde: The Musical."
She's repped by WME and managed by Anonymous Content.

Afghan childrens fund: show us the money
"America's Fund for Afghan Children" – this is the name George W. Bush has given his "dollar for Afghan kids" drive. My daughter received a letter from her school requesting that she bring a dollar in for this drive.
Its official! Economy in recession
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said the Nov. 26 announcement that the economy was now officially in a recession confirmed what America's working families have known for months.

As Maine goes, so can the nation
Maine has been leading the country in driving down the cost of prescription drugs and in the last two months has moved to do the same for health insurance. In September, the Maine legislature enacted a bill to set the wheels in motion for establishing a universal health-care system for all Maine residents.

Movin' on Up! Big Changes at QLP
When I started at Quality Logo Products in mid-March 2013, we were growing as any healthy company should. Our cozy little building housed every department and we could walk ten feet to say hi to the sales people or peek our heads over our cubes to talk to our co-workers. Before long I didn't even need to poke my head over my cubicle wall to chat with colleagues. As more and more new people were hired, they started to fill every inch of desk, counter, and floor space. Soon I didn't have to do more than turn my head to ask a question or get an opinion from my office mates. It became a good idea to get to work early each day so you could find a spot in the parking lot, and to make sure your music wasn't loud enough to be heard past your headphones.
As cozy and friendly as it was, it was time to divide. Not like grab-your-torch-and-pitch-fork divide, more like… mitosis.
The Media, Content, Data Entry and Web Team departments began to box up their things, from bobble heads to monitors, as other departments like the Sales and Orders Department slowly filled in our empty cubicles.
Those of us moving looked back, reluctantly at our desks as we carried boxes to cars and filled several vehicles to the brim. We liked our office: the tiny kitchen, the crowded conference room, the cluttered cubes. Moving to a new office meant unfamiliar spaces, new rules, and a 5 minute drive between us and the sales department.
Upon arriving at our new office the first thing we noticed was the spacious parking lot. "Hey! We won't have to fight for parking anymore," someone called happily.
As we got to the top of the stairs with our first trip of boxes, we looked around at the line of cubicles that ran down the wide hallway. "There are enough cubes here for everyone to have two," someone muttered.
We began to bring boxes into designated offices and peek our heads through other doors to see what we could find. "There sure are a lot of offices," someone commented.
"Yeah and they all have windows!" another person replied.
Our manager started to lead us around the office. "Over here is our new conference room…"
"Wow, we could fit everyone in here!"
"And here is the storage room if you need anything…"
"Everything is so organized."
"And here is our new game room…"
A chorus of excited murmurs came from my coworkers as our manager opened the doors and let us look inside. We had to use our imagination at the time, but we eagerly pictured the X-Boxes and PlayStations and flat screen TVs.
Next we were led to the Media Studio.
Our manager swung open the door and the first thing we saw was the giant, bright green wall.
We stood there in awe and excitement, imagining the many videos that would come to life in this room.
We broke for lunch and headed toward our new kitchen with our meals, only to be met again with more awe. The kitchen held 3 tables where we could all comfortably sit together, 2 microwaves and our very own fridge. No more crowding into a kitchen the size of a small cubicle and fighting over the microwave! No more timing your lunch an hour early or an hour late so you could cook your food and eat before your break was over. No more sitting alone, at your desk, or outside to eat.
As we sat down to lunch together, we were full of hope and exhilaration. That excitement has led to hilarious videos, insightful blogs, and a whole new look for our website. And it still drives us today as we come in to our new office and make magic happen behind the scenes of QLP.
If you would like to see more of our new office pictures then head on over to our Yelp page to check them out!

Julie enjoys almost any creative outlet and isn't afraid to show off her geeky side. She can't help but love puns and witty banter, and she appreciates a well-crafted advertisement. She is a super fan of the Georgia Rae Family Band. Currently, Julie is looking for new ways to improve her Japanese.
I like the new office because at the old one my desk was connected to a wall in the middle of a hallway. Plus this new office is a stone's throw from my house!
Thanks for being the mitochondria to our mitosis!
Great post Julie! You guys have really settled into the new building and made it your own. As much as I miss seeing your smiling faces every day I love that you are only a quick 5 minute drive down the road and our mitosis-like division as left a lot of room in both buildings to continue our growth. 🙂
1851, or QLP West, is the place to be!
… I wonder when that elliptical is going to get it's first use! 🙂
That is a VERY green studio indeed. 😉
Also, I love the mitosis GIF.
Officially jealous!!!
(is there an over/under on how long that elliptical will remain unused?)
I am not sure it has yet? Any update to this?
That was a very sad day when the one became two. It felt so awkward at first. We can clearly see that you have moved to greener pastures. We are all truly jealous of the game room, vending machines and heck even the parking situation. All in all though where we are, we're still very cozy. It is like a second home and has tons of character, we couldn't imagine being anywhere else. 🙂
Lunch room envy! It's a great space and I'm glad our "other half" is enjoying their new pad. 🙂
Took quite some time to set up that office! I am glad we are getting full use out of it!
And I will have you all know that I used that elliptical right after we set it up! (for like 5 minutes… but it was used!) Just need to figure out an easy way to use the elliptical and play some Xbox at the same time…..
I've only visited the new office a couple of times for meetings but the office kept going and going! It is really nice and I'm kind of jelous that the Sales Department didn't get in the new office building! I have been working here for almost 9 months and have seen so many new faces already! Love working here… It really is a great company!
Thanks All 🙂
Sounds like more people need to come over here and visit us!!
That elliptical needs another 5 minutes of use.
This company continues to grow at an alarming rate and I love it! This is definitely not the same company when I first started five years ago and I couldn't be happier in the direction it is going 🙂

He may be embroiled in a messy custody battle with his ex DENISE RICHARDS, but that hasn't stopped CHARLIE SHEEN from enjoying quality time with his kiddies. On Aug. 25 the Two and a Half Men star (along with fiancée Brooke Mueller) and daughters Sam, 3, and Lola, 2, joined pal BROOKE SHIELDS at Kids Connection, the Art of Elysium benefit at the French Connection Beach House in Malibu. Sheen and his brood painted seashells and made flower necklaces and bopped to a children's band (all under the watchful eye of Richards's assistant, who accompanied them). "We are out with the kids and supporting what matters," Sheen told Insider. "It's fabulous."
Sure, JESSICA BIEL is buff, but can she bluff? "I have a good poker face," she told Insider at the grand opening of the Ivy Hotel in San Diego Aug. 24. The actress (who attended without boyfriend JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE) showed off her card smarts at the hotel's poker tournament benefiting the Hollywood Entertainment Museum and Biel's own charity the Make the Difference Network. After cashing in her chips, Biel partied with pals at Eden, the Ivy's rooftop lounge. "We're celebrating in a beautiful place and having fun," she said. "All for a good cause."
Heroes star MILO VENTIMIGLIA may have superpowers on TV, but in real life he's vulnerable to his fans. At the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge on Aug. 23, the actor obligingly left his party to pose for pictures with eager female fans after they requested a bodyguard to ask him for a photo op.
A Very British affair: VICTORIA BECKHAM and husband DAVID, along with Hell's Kitchen chef GORDON RAMSAY and wife TANA, enjoyed a fun double date at West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont Aug. 24.
MISCHA BARTON is a fan of a certain heartbreaker. "I'm a massive Tom Petty fan," she tells Insider at the Mercedes-Benz Polo match Aug. 25, about attending the singer's Hampton Social concert that night. "I love classic rock."

In 2009, the big story was that the Midland Athletic League was adding a school, Lakota.
Two years ago, as schools played a game of hop-scotch from the Northern Ohio League to the North Central Conference, or the NOL to the Northern Buckeye Conference, the MAL appeared completely unaffected.
And now, the MAL is awaiting a figurative wrecking ball.
The league, which has been a perfect fit for many area fans (and as you'll read later, many football coaches) will dissolve after this school year.
It was, in many ways, a perfect fit for this region, especially during football season. But this fall will be the last time - at least for a while - that Mohawk and Calvert will play on the gridiron in a league game.
Or Carey and St. Joe.
Or Seneca East and Hopewell-Loudon.
Calvert and Hopewell-Loudon, separated by about a 10-minute drive, will no longer be conference rivals. Instead, each will face new league foes when H-L jumps (with North Baltimore) to the Blanchard Valley Conference, and Calvert goes in the other direction, to the Toledo Area Athletic Conference.
Meanwhile, Carey, Mohawk and Seneca East will jump to the new Northern 10 Athletic Conference. The remaining members (save Bettsville) of the MAL will find refuge in the new Sandusky River League - a conference Calvert helped found, only to leave soon after.
What was once one league has splintered into several.
So what's left of MAL football?
A sentimental soul might say all we have is memories, but that's not true.
What's left, what is perhaps most important, is one more season.
A community league
Even though Brian Colatruglio now plies his trade in the NOL as Columbian's football coach, his past is filled with MAL experience.
Colatruglio played football for Calvert, then was an assistant there.
After a stint as head coach at Van Buren, Colatruglio returned to the league, coaching Hopewell-Loudon. It was there that he found major success. Not only were the Chieftains a perennial playoff team, but they advanced to two Division VI state title games.
Colatruglio said he has good memories, starting with his time as an athlete.
"As a player I grew up competing," he said. "Back then, St. Joe, St. Wendelin were the teams to beat.
"The kids all knew each other; there were some really good rivalries," he said. "It's unfortunate all these teams are gonna be driving all over the place."
Seneca East football coach Ed Phillips said it's not just the players who are familiar with each other.
"It's a little bit of a sad year, because I feel like I know all the coaches and the ADs around and developed a good relationship with them," he said. "It's going to be different to go somewhere else and play other people. And it's the same way with the kids. They have that familiarity. They look forward to going to Bascom and playing. They look forward to going to Tiffin and Mohawk. They look forward to playing Fremont, because those are the kids that they've seen in three sports for their whole career. So it's definitely going to be a change."
The league started in 1985-'86 for that year's basketball season. Carey and Mohawk joined the league in 1990. Since about that time, Jeff Garber has been the official stat keeper for the league.
"You look at Mohawk and Carey, when they joined the league it only made it that much tougher," Garber said.
From that, rivalries have grown up between Mohawk and Calvert.
"Of course, Calvert-Mohawk was always a big one, even before (Mohawk) joined the MAL," Garber said.
Now it won't be a rivalry, at least in football. The Northern 10 Athletic Conference, as the name suggests, has 10 teams. All the teams will play each other, so that only leaves room for one non-conference game for N10 schools.
It's a game Mohawk coach Erik Baker will be sad to lose.
"Calvert will probably be the biggest thing we lose off the schedule," Baker said. "It'll be even more special this year, being the last time we play until somebody has an opening to allow it."
All of the football coaches spoken to for this story said they were disappointed to see the league end.
Baker said it best, though.
"In a perfect world, we would have been able to take our everybody with us, and keep our football schedule," he said. "I love our football schedule. Some people have a rivalry game. I feel like we have one every week."
Calvert coach Todd Fox is in his fourth year. His introduction to the MAL came in his first days in charge of the Senecas.
"I guess the part about the MAL that I will miss the most is, when I first came here three years ago, I asked our guys, 'hey, who is our rival? Who is our biggest rival?' And if I asked six guys I got six different answers," he said. "Because, it seems like everybody's a rival."
That may be because of two reasons: The quality of the teams and the generally amicable relationships between the schools and coaches.
"As far as changing leagues, I'm not sure football was ever really part of it, as far as what motivated it," Baker said. "I think a lot of the change had to do with the other sports - basketball being able to play home and home and things that way. Football,I thought we had great games going, and the coaches got along. You can't say that in every league. There have been places that I've been in the past as an assistant, where it was almost bitter between people. The MAL keeps things in very good perspective and everybody treats each other really well, and the games are hotly contested. The kids for the most part do a great job of getting along and seeing each other. In these kind of communities, they all socialize together and made every game exciting, and make it seem like there's something on the line no matter what the records."
One more season
Few could have predicted it at the time, but the seeds of the MAL's end likely were planted two years ago, when the North Central Conference added Upper Sandusky and Galion and split into two divisions.
The league was barely through its first fall when numerous members from that league bolted for the N10. In December of 2011, Mohawk, Carey and SE announced they were joining that league.
It was, essentially, a few dominoes that set off a breakdown of numerous leagues.
Since then, the collapse of the MAL appeared inevitable, and most had to figure this season would be it for a league that has been around - in some form - for more than a quarter of a century.
So now the challenge is to be the last champion.
"Obviously you want to leave your mark," Fox said. "It's the last year. I'm sure every team in the MAL feels the same way. 'Hey, it's the last one. Let's be that (team) who wins the last one,' but that's our goal, to be on top at the end, but you've got to go one week at a time, because the MAL is a tough football league."
After that, things will be different.
Garber, for one, won't be keeping stats anymore.
"I'm gonna miss it," he said.
Still, there is a positive.
"I have a daughter who's a freshman now, getting into sports," he said. "I won't have to worry [about missing anything]. I guess it has its pluses and minuses."
Fox also put a realistic spin on it.
"First of all, we're disappointed, because the MAL, top to bottom, is a great football league," he said. "Great rivalries. The proximity, the driving, the crowds you get, it's just ... for football on a Friday night, it's gonna be hard to ever replace what we had here in the MAL. In that regard we're disappointed, but we have to move on, and everybody else did."

You've heard of "high concept" movies. Now there's a new genre that could be called "high conception."
The latest example is Delivery Man, in which Vince Vaughn plays an "affable underachiever" who finds out he has fathered 533 children through anonymous sperm donations he made 20 years earlier.
The flick is a remake of the 2011 French Canadian film Starbuck. It joins the seminal 2010 movie The Kids Are All Right, in which a lesbian couple's children bring their father into the family, and MTV's new reality series Generation Cryo.
High-conception stories explore the evolving nature of families, the meaning of parenthood, and privacy in the Internet age.

Website, blog and social media campaign hopes to reach millions with
tips to avoid being ripped off by scammers
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU), a leader in global payment
services, and Better Business Bureau today launched BBB
Scam Stopper, an education campaign to help consumers in the United
States and Canada avoid common scams that con artists use to commit
consumer fraud.
"Western Union devotes extensive resources to stopping fraud," said
Shelley Bernhardt, the company's Director of Consumer Protection. "Our
agents are trained to intervene if they suspect a customer is the victim
of a scam. Through our partnership with BBB, we aim to give consumers
the information and resources they need to protect themselves and help
stop fraud before it gets that far."
Consumer fraud is a serious problem worldwide. According to the Federal
Trade Commission, in the U.S. alone, more than 100 thousand people filed
complaints in 2011 about prizes, sweepstakes and lottery scams. That is
just one of the many categories of scams consumers face around the world.
"We investigate thousands of scams every year, and we know the tactics
that scammers commonly use," said Carrie Hurt, President and CEO of the
Council of Better Business Bureaus. "A portion of scams involves the
wire transfer of funds, so Western Union is the ideal partner for this
campaign. The best defense against fraud is awareness and education.
It's crucial for consumers and business owners to recognize scams before
they become victims."
On the Scam Stopper website, consumers can find facts and tips to stay
informed and help reduce their chances of becoming a victim of a scam.
The site also explains the science of scams, and how scammers use many
of the same "sales tactics" that are used by legitimate businesses.
Visitors can also sign up to receive BBB Scam Alerts, weekly
emails with the latest scams reported to BBBs across the country.
The site highlights common scams like Emergency Scams (a friend or
family member has an emergency, often in another country, and needs
money), Overpayment Scams (a buyer overpays and asks for the difference
wired back to them), Sweepstakes and Lottery Scams (you've won a lot of
money, but you have to pre-pay taxes before claiming your prize), and
more. Personal finance writer/blogger Erica Sandberg has also joined the
effort and is blogging and creating public service announcements about
scams and fraud for BBB Scam Stopper.
Information on scams and how to protect yourself is also available at
Western Union's Consumer Protection Center: http://www.westernunion.com/stopfraud.

CALABASH—Sunset River Marketplace is featuring paintings by watercolor artist Richard Staat in a show titled "Watercolors with a Transparent Touch," from Jan. 11 through Feb. 20.
The eclectic exhibition includes figural pieces as well as landscapes and coastal scenes. A reception, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled for 2-5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16.
Goodbye, turkey. Hello, Christmas cookies. The bird may reign at Thanksgiving, but cookies will be king for the next few weeks, when almost every gathering and party will feature holiday sweets.
A great idea after baking all those holiday treats is to have a Christmas cookie exchange with friends and family. We do it every year and end up with many cookies, cakes and other "sweeties" that we would not usually indulge in.
Sauerbraten is a favorite of mine to be served around the holidays. It's not just a dish you can make for just two, three or four people. Since I start out with a 4-5 pound beef roast, it is more conducive to a larger gathering around the holiday season.
The meat is marinated for two to three days in vinegar and wine, onions, carrots and celery, along with various spices, such as cloves, juniper berries, allspice and peppercorns.
Over the Christmas and New Year's holidays, it's a time for family and friends, which means a lot of eating and drinking. Make your holiday gathering special by including some classic Christmas tried-and-true holiday drinks.
If you're throwing one of these parties, it's essential to serve a combination of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for a successful get together. You want everyone, drinkers and non-drinkers, to have a variety of drink options in having a fun night.
Are you planning to go out on New Year's or stay home with many of your friends and relatives? We used to go out a lot, but lately we're just comfortable staying put and maybe having a few friends stop by during the day to enjoy the new year.
If you're going to be staying at home and are expecting guests to pop in, why not have some scrumptious holiday appetizers for everyone to munch on while downing a favorite beverage of choice? These are not only good on holidays, but just about any other time of the year.
Baked Parmesan Artichoke Baguettes
The December meeting of the Coastal Carolina Camera Club combined a potluck dinner with a juried competition of members' photographs representing "December Holidays." Winners were chosen in three divisions: Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced.
Beginners Division
First place: Bob Boal–'4th Advent before Christmas.'
Second place: Mary Wayne–'Mother Nature's Ornaments.'
Third place: Fran Sheehan–'Old St. Nick.'
Intermediate Division
The world hailed 2009 as the "International Year of Astronomy," and across the globe, special events honored the occasion.
Even the stars and planets seemed to join in the yearlong tribute: Jupiter took a hit from some space junk; Saturn's rings disappeared for a few days as they faced us edge-on. Our moon gave up a deep secret; there is water on its surface.
Rattlesnakes may be hanging out waiting for warmer temperatures, but now is the time to deal with rattlesnake weed. Also known as Florida artichoke and Florida betony, this member of the mint family rears its ugly head in February when a few warm days get it growing.
Atrazine, which is sold as Purge, does a pretty good job of controlling Florida betony in centipede and St. Augustine lawns. The only material that has any activity on this aggressive weed in shrub beds is diclobenil, sold as Casoron or Barrier.
Bluebirds are flying over the area in search of accommodations. It's a little early, but like some other smart animals, it's time to plan ahead.
Bluebirds are particular in their nesting habits. Don Adams of Southport has provided the following information on how to attract these beautiful little birds to your garden:
Cavity nesting bluebirds are in need of man-made nest boxes. The change from wood fence posts with cavities to steel posts and the cutting of hollow trees for firewood has reduced the natural nesting sites.
Jessica Lynn Edwards of Ash and William Allen Todd of Shallotte were married Dec. 5 at Camp Branch Baptist Church in Ash, with The Rev. Leroy Long officiating.
The bride is the daughter of Thea Barefoot of Ash and the late Wayne Edwards.
The groom is the son of William Earl Todd and Wanda Todd of Shallotte.
The bride was given in marriage and escorted by her mother.
Amy Fulford, the groom's sister, served as matron of honor. She wore a black knee-length dress.

Kelly Rowland, Demi Lovato and Paulina Rubio soldiered on, answering questions at the Television Critics Association meeting about reports Simon Cowell had gotten a friend's wife pregnant.
"I think that Simon has always been a very classy guy, he's always been a very respected guy, and he's going to be a great father," Rowland, one of two new judges, tells PEOPLE.
"It is part of life, the gossip," adds Rubio, who also just joined the competition show. "He didn't tell me anything yet, but I will support him if it is true."
Lovato said she simply didn't want to comment. "There's no reason for me to talk about his person life, and I'm here about talk about the show."
But the singer had plenty to say about Cowell and his "Mr. Nasty" reputation.
"Simon is very tough but off camera he's like a teddy bear. He has a big heart," she says.
"I've learned so much from him," Lovato adds. "I think he puts up a front with the rest of the world to be this bad guy but you get to know him he's a really, really sweet person."
Cowell and his fellow panelists are currently in Los Angeles dwindling down their contestant pool of hopefuls. Season 3 premieres Sept. 11 on Fox.
