As part of the deal brokered by Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, MSI will reinstate all the sacked 11 workers and take a lenient approach on enforcing no-work-no- pay rule of eight day's salary cut for every single day of the strike, while the workers have agreed to the management's demand of not allowing the formation of a second union in the company
New Delhi: The 13-day strike at the country's largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India's (MSI) Manesar plant in Gurgaon was called off late last night following a deal brokered by Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda between the workers and the management, reports PTI.
As part of the deal, MSI will reinstate all the sacked 11 workers and take a lenient approach on enforcing no-work-no- pay rule of eight day's salary cut for every single day of the strike.
On the other hand, the workers have conceded to the management's demand of not allowing the formation of a second union in the company.
"Agreement has been signed and workers have decided to call off the strike. They will resume work from tomorrow," Haryana labour secretary Sarban Singh said.
He said the company has decided to reinstate all the 11 sacked employees and a disciplinary inquiry will be initiated against them.
Sources privy to the development said the formula was worked out after Mr Hooda met MSI top executives, including managing director and CEO Shinzo Nakanishi, last evening.
As the strike continued for the last 13 days, the company lost production of 12,600 units valued at about Rs630 crore.
Under the deal to end the strike, the management agreed to reduce the no-work-no-pay rule of eight day's salary cut for every single day of the strike to three days and it can be reduced further to just one day depending on the conduct and productivity of the workers at the plant in the next few months, said sources close to the development.
The workers, on the other hand, agreed that they will not press for the management's recognition for a new union.
CPI and AITUC leader Gurudas Dasgupta, who had met Mr Hooda several times in the past 10 days, said the agreement will have no reference to the management's decision of not allowing trade union activities at the plant.
On 4th June, the workers went on a strike demanding recognition of a new union, Maruti Suzuki Employees Union (MSEU), formed by those working at the Manesar plant.
Currently, the company has one recognised union—Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union—which is dominated by workers at the Gurgaon plant.
Retaining the contract labourers for the two upcoming new units inside the Manesar complex was another demand.
While a company spokesperson said only about 600 people were on strike, MSEU general secretary Shiv Kumar claimed at least 2,000 workers were on the sit-in stir at the plant.
Cracking the whip, the company had fired 11 workers last week for allegedly inciting others to go on strike.
The Manesar plant rolls out about 1,200 units every day in two shifts. The factory produces hatchbacks Swift and A-Star and sedans DZiRE and SX4.
Mr Dasgupta said so far there has been no incident of violence and the workers have been 'united, responsible and patient, which is remarkable'.
"We also congratulate all trade unions of Gurgaon-Manesar area who rallied behind the agitating Maruti workers at the Manesar plant," he added.
The shares of the company today were trading 0.16% lower at Rs 1,187.55 apiece on the Bombay Stock Exchange in mid-morning trade today.
Stock-specific action will give the market some direction today
The Indian bourses are likely to open sideways on the back of mixed cues from the global arena. Wall Street settled mixed overnight on mixed economic data while issues related to the European debt crisis kept investors guarded. Markets across Asia were mostly lower in early trade as the Greece crisis weighed on the sentiments. The SGX Nifty was 11 points lower at 5,398 compared to its previous close of 5,409.
On the domestic corporate front, the management of Maruti Suzuki late last night announced the end of the 13-day strike at its Manesar plant. Also, Tata Steel yesterday said it has sold its 26.27% stake in Australian coal miner Riversdale to global mining major Rio Tinto for A$1.06 billion ($1.11 billion). "The sale consideration of about A$1,060 million (about Rs5,074 crore) represents around 100% appreciation of value in less than four years since the first investment," the Indian steel major said in a statement. The two stocks will be in focus today.
While the market had factored the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) 25 basis point hike in key rates, Thursday's decline was largely on account of economic issues across the world, which will eventually impact growth in India.
The market opened lower on nervousness ahead of the RBI's monetary policy review and global worries arising from fears of the debt crisis in Greece spreading to other countries in the Eurozone. The Sensex opened 72 points lower at 18,060 and the Nifty resumed trade at 5,420, down 28 points from its previous close. Rate-sensitive sectors like banking, realty and auto saw selling pressure in early trade.
The market continued to trade sideways, till the announcement of a 25-basis-point increase in key rates by the RBI, which was in line with market expectations. Buying in select counters saw the market recover its losses and almost touching its previous closing level. At the day's high, the Sensex added 32 points to 18,155 and the Nifty was at 5,448, its closing figure on Wednesday.
However, the gains were short-lived as choppiness led the indices lower in subsequent trade, as key European markets were marred by the debt issue in Greece. US stock futures, which were in the red, also added to the woes. The market touched its intra-day lows in late trade, with the indices falling below their psychological levels. Finally, the Sensex closed at 17,986, a decline of 146 points and the Nifty finished trade at 5,397, down 51 points. The Nifty traded below the first support of 5,450 today and closed much below it. It is likely to go down to 5,350, subject to minor rallies.
Key indices in the US ended mixed on Thursday on mixed economic news but continuing debt issues in Europe kept sentiments lower. Housing starts rose more than expected and permits for future construction touched a five month high in May. Also, initial jobless claims fell to 414,000 in the latest week from an upwardly revised 430,000 in the previous week. However, markets turned briefly negative after news factory activity in the US Mid-Atlantic region unexpectedly shrank to its lowest level since July 2009 from the month before, according to the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank.
This apart, the US current account deficit increased in the first quarter on strong imports. The deficit represented 3.2% of US gross domestic product, up from 3% in the fourth quarter.
However, the Greek government's failure to gain support for additional austerity measures is seen as a setback.
The Dow rose 64.25 points (0.54%) to 11,961.52. The S&P 500 added 2.22 points (0.18%) to 1,267.64. The index has dropped 7% from its 29th April closing high. On the other hand, the Nasdaq fell 7.76 points (0.29%) to 2,623.70.
Most markets in Asia were lower in early trade on the last trading day of the week as the Greece debt crisis is expected to dent the outlook for exporters in the region. Rate-tightening measures across the sub-continent are impeding the realty industry in Asia.
The Shanghai Composite declined 0.12%, the Hang Seng fell 0.21%, the Nikkei 225 shed 0.01%, the Straits Times was down 0.14%, the Seoul Composite shrank 0.61% and the Taiwan Weighed fell by 0.19%. On the other hand, the Jakarta Composite gained 0.38% and the KLSE Composite rose 0.55%.
Back home, the Securities and exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday relaxed its Investor Protection Fund (IPF) guidelines in favour of brokers by stipulating that surplus amount after satisfying all claims be returned to them.
As per the earlier rules, such amounts used to be credited to the IPF/Customer Protection Fund (CPF).
In its latest circular, SEBI said that stock exchanges had sought exemption from strict compliance of the earlier rules "on the ground that the residual amount remaining after satisfaction of claims against the defaulting broker should be refunded to the broker and not credited to the IPF/CPF".

The Barcelona and former Arsenal star could not hammer out a deal at the High Court with Claire Merry over her demands for up to £10 million.
If their legal teams fail to find common ground in the coming weeks the stage could be set for an explosive rematch.
A court source told the Standard: "There was no agreement today and no order was made. They could still settle out of court but that seems unlikely and they will probably be back here."
The pair, whose daughter Tea is two, split after Henry was apparently spotted on dates with make-up artist Sadie Hewlett.
Ms Merry, 27, from Croydon, is said to have found texts between the pair on Henry's phone.
The ex-model was granted a "quickie divorce" last September on the grounds that his "unreasonable behaviour" had made their four-year marriage unworkable. She is said to be demanding a settlement based on the French player's earnings. Henry is believed to be arguing that he was successful before they met in 2001.
He is being represented by Sandra Davis of Mishcon de Reya, while Ms Merry has brought in Fiona Shackleton, who acted for Sir Paul McCartney in his recent divorce.
Henry is said to reject any claim for a settlement linked to his £130,000-a-week Barcelona wage or for some of the £5 million marital home in Hampstead.

Serco's chairman Alastair Lyons today became the latest victim of the outsourcer's turbulent year of multi-million-pound fines, a Government ban and profit warnings as he announced his departure.
His decision comes after Boris Bikes operator Serco last week saw shares plunge by 35% after issuing its fourth profit warning in 12 months, writing £1.5 billion off the value of its business, suspending its dividend and admitting it could breach banking covenants.
Serco is still paying for overcharging the taxpayer by tens of millions of pounds for tagging criminals who were actually dead or imprisoned — which saw chief executive Chris Hyman resign. Lyons today referred to "operational mis-steps" for which he took "ultimate responsibility", but said he had not been forced out.
He claimed "colleagues have asked me not to resign, [but] it has been my intention to step down once a new strategy and direction for the business were in place."
Lyons, 61, has been Serco's chairman for the last four years, with the same role at insurers Admiral and Towergate, and deputy chairman of housebuilder Bovis. He will depart once his replacement is announced.
New chief executive Rupert Soames heaped praise on Lyons, saying "nobody could have worked harder or done more" to help build "a solid future for Serco."Reuse content

Extraordinary efforts by the United Parcel Service (UPS) to meet a last-minute rush of online orders during a compressed holiday season, along with bad weather, hurt fourth-quarter earnings.
The world's largest package delivery service anticipates Q4 earnings per share of $1.25. That's below last year's $1.32 and undershoots consensus estimates for $1.43.
UPS also trimmed its full-year EPS guidance to $4.57 from its prior outlook of $4.65-$4.85. Full Q4 and 2013 results are slated for release on Jan. 30.
Shares were down 2% on the stock market today. The company's stock rose at a robust rate last year and hit an all-time high close of 105 on Dec. 31. It's been consolidating this year and shares are down about 6% from the peak.
Rival FedEx (FDX) eased less than 1% Friday.
UPS added 30,000 more temps than planned as the holiday peak approached in December, for a total of 85,000, along with trucks and other equipment to meet a last-minute surge in deliveries.
On Dec. 23, UPS delivered more than 31 million packages. That was 13% above the year-ago peak day and the most ever for the company.
Additionally, a series of heavy storms on the East Coast and in the Midwest hampered delivery efforts, driving up costs further.
The shorter holiday season didn't help either. There were just 26 shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In 2012, there were 32 shopping days.

A short walk in any direction will take you to all that is special in Ogunquit. If you're not in the mood to walk, the trolley stops at the end of our street just steps away. In the afternoon, after a day of exploring, enjoy a cool drink on our large wraparound porch.

My room was so cute and comfortable that I really didn't want to leave it, even for breakfast, but I also didn't want to miss the delicious meal Laurence had promised. I was not disappointed. Absolutely delicious! I had such a peaceful, restful, fun 24 hours at the Trellis House that I didn't want to leave. I promise to come back one day with my husband for more than one day. He will love it too. Tip: Don't miss the Happy Hour on the porch. So fun and a great way to get to know these amazing owners, Laurence and Glen. Take a walk along the coast and for history buffs, visit the old cemetery nearby and see some Revolutionary War soldiers' graves. Wow!

We've been coming here for many years, first under the old owners, Pat & Jerry, now under the new owners, Laurence & Glen. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. The rooms are lovely, the breakfasts sinfully scrumptious, the location perfect and completely walkable to everything in this great little town. We will be back.

We stayed at the Inn a few years ago. When booking it again we realized there were new owners. When we entered we were greeted warmly and wow! Glen and Laurence had remodeled the inn and it is incredible. The colors and decor are so tasteful. We felt so comfortable and the hospitality was terrific and fun. We wanted to take the bed home with us it was so comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding. Cannot forget to mention Barkley their well behaved dog. Thank you Laurence and Glen for a great stay. We will surely return in the future.

This past July was my fourth yearly visit to The Trellis House. My first stay was under the former ownership which was lovely, but since Glen and Laurence have taken over ownership, I have been simply amazed with the transformation. Every detail is attended to, from the clean and simple lines in the decor, to the individual pampering by Glen and Laurence, not to mention the outstanding home cooked breakfasts in the mornings. My visits to Ogunquit would never more be the same if I could not stay at the Trellis House. Thank you Glen and Laurence for making my summer getaway so much more memorable! See you next year!

Can't wait to come back. Laurence, Glen, and Sara were incredible. Our weekend away was perfect, so relaxing and romantic.

Our visit to the Trellis House was one to remember. We were greeted promptly and warmly by Jenn as she handed us two glasses of tasty champagne (with Maine blueberries from the property, of course). The house felt like a home, and the design and decor were exceptional. Our room upstairs was quaint and was equipped with everything we needed and more. Everything was very clean, organized and tastefully arranged. In the afternoons we were treated to hors devours on the front porch while we sipped beverages with friends. The owners, Laurence and Glenn, were so pleasurable and inviting. We were then treated to exceptional breakfasts in the morning. I can't say enough about the whole experience - except you must check this place our for yourselves! Can't wait to visit again.
This popular and spacious suite located on the 2nd floor of the main house has a lovely sitting area with gorgeous beach and water views. Marine themed décor with king bed.

Chapter Two - Living Conditions
"Mum, you don't have to make the seven hour drive here when I can do it myself." I exclaimed when we were halfway there.
"Don't be silly- it's no trouble. Plus, I want to spend as much time as I can with my son before he leaves me." She replied, smiling and ruffling my hair without taking her eyes away from the road.
"We'll still talk...online and stuff." I said. She rolled her eyes.
"My little Tommy Bastow." She smiled. I'd had that nick-name since I was thirteen. Apparantly I look like him. I lifted the left part of my lip as if it were being pulled up by a string.
I turned to stare out of the window at the green trees streaking past me in lines. It was quite soothing. I soon got bored, so I put my earphones in, and closed my eyes, listening intently to the angel voice of Hayley Williams.
When I had listened through the 'RIOT!' album four times, we had arrived in Buntingford Town. I looked around, searching for my favourite shops from back when I was a kid. There was a book-shop, owned by a sweet old lady called Mrs Peterson; there was a CD shop owned by a scruffy young man called Trevor Oliver.
After a minute, we were at the house.

Mike West
West is an Australian by birth who grew up in the U.K. His first professional music group was the Man From Delmonte in the 1980s. The band was based in Manchester and included Howard Goody, Martin Vincent, and Shiela Seal. He led the cult band for about ten years, weathering a bout of legal wrangling brought about by Delmonte Fruits over what the company saw as the injury inflicted on the image of its goods by the campy band. Australia banned the group, which sang about bisexuality and transvestites in tunes that included "One Day My Prince Will Come" and "Batchelor Flat Affairs." After leaving the Man From Delmonte, West headed to New Orleans in the early '90s and laid down his electric guitar in favor of picking a banjo. He found an instrument in one of the city's pawnshops, plunked down his 100 dollars to make it his own, and started gigging at nightspots in the famed Vieux Carre. He resides in the Crescent City's Ninth Ward, not far from where Fats Domino used to live, and draws inspiration from tales shared by neighbors. Among his recording credits are Soul's Core from Shawn Mullins and albums by Kirk Rundstrum and Chuck Brodsky. ~ Linda Seida

Community energy in Nottinghamshire
On a typically grey October day, a group of members of Nottingham's 'Green Theme Partnership' found themselves in a muddy field in rural South Nottinghamshire for a guided tour of Langar Solar Farm. The facility consists of 20,000 ground mounted solar PV panels designed to produce up to 10MW of renewable electricity. The site is split into two halves, with one 5MW commercial scheme and the other 5MW operating separately as a community energy scheme.
This follows a public share offer that raised £880,000 and a further £500,000 from Nottingham Energy Partnership. A new community benefit society, Nottinghamshire Community Energy owns the 5MW community scheme which is expected to produce 4,725 MWh - enough to meet the equivalent annual electricity demand for around 1,150 homes. It is also expected to save some 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide over its 25 year lifetime which would have been produced if this amount of energy had been generated from a conventional coal fired power station.
Investors in the project will receive up to 7% returns from the sale of electricity plus Feed in Tariff payments. Payments will also be made to a community fund (worth up to £1.8m over 25 years) that will support local projects tackling wildlife conservation, climate change mitigation, carbon reduction (including local food, transport, waste projects etc) and reduction of fuel poverty. The financial expertise to establish this new enterprise was provided by Mongoose Energy, a co-operative company whose goal is to change the nature of energy ownership, generation and supply. The solar farm was built by ODPE Group, a Spanish company that designs, builds and operates renewable energy projects.
Climate UK's Mike Peverill has been supporting Nottingham Green Theme Partnership, Nottingham City Council and the University of Nottingham in the development of new plans for energy and sustainable development. This includes support to the EU-funded InSmart project which is harnessing new expertise in energy modelling from consultancies and universities in four European cities, including Nottingham.

podcast #7 - blast from the past
the other day i listened again to the very first radio madrid show ever (when it was more of a mixtape and less of a show) and i thought, this is pretty good! so, continuing with the 5th anniversary spirit (and my general laziness to do a new show) i thought i'd post it here. new show sooooon i promise!!!
by the way, a nice example of things coming around full circle. i just got an email out of the blue from a guy promoting his latest album. the band was called "the trio très bien" (pictured) which made me look a bit closer... the "guy" turned out to be none other than jeter thompson, the pianist from the "quartette très bien" and the man who wrote "boss très bien", a tune which has rarely left my record box. wow, the internet is crazy.
al foster band - night of the wolf (jazz spectrum)

A growl ripped through my teeth when I felt the pressure on my shoulders. The noise scared me. I hadn't been that hostile for years. But I didn't look up from Charlie. Against my will, I was drinking his blood. He was my prey, as sick as the phrase was. And I was very protective of him in that state. Alice's head appeared next to mine.
"Bella, Bella no. Stop." Her voice was calm, but strained. She didn't like seeing me like this anymore than I liked being like this. I so wanted to listen to her, to obey, but I couldn't find the strength.
Another voice.
"Bella, love, don't do this. You don't want to do this." Edward's sweet breath hit my cheek. I didn't doubt he did this on purpose. I stopped to breath the delectable scent in through my nose, but I did not stand up. More pressure on my shoulders. I instinctively braced myself and snarled. But I wished they would pull me away. I wished they would tug and yank until I let go. But they didn't. The hold on me was released. Why were they letting go?!
I started to whine. This was too much, too painful. It took all of my self-control not to start drinking again. I could only imagine what Billy's face looked like right now, if he was even still in the room. Disgust, repulsion, were a couple of the adjectives I came up with.
The lightest of pressure on my right shoulder. Carlisle's head dropped down to mine. His molten gold eyes bore into mine through my perephial vision. I looked straight ahead. His voice was serene, no trace of nervousness.
"Bella, stop. The venom has done it's work, you are hurting Charlie. Just slowly let go, that's it," he urged. He had such false faith in me, but amazingly, I followed his instructions. My jaw unclenched and my teeth spread. I heard him whispering behind me, "No sudden movements." I heard and saw nothing. So where was my daughter? Her heartbeat was not present. I was upright in a second.
"Renesmee?" I wondered out loud. Everyone was still, just in case I still had the, well, urge.
"Outside," Alice whispered. Her eyes were cautious as she reached out to my arm and held it in her tiny hand. She gently pulled me into her her arms an hugged me. I felt her dry heaves. Another pair of arms were around us as well, and I could tell Edward was smiling.
"Good job Bella, I knew you could do it," Alice sobbed. Her chiming voice cracked on the second part of her statement. Edward held us tighter.
"Bella, that was stupendous. I am so proud of you. The self-control you just showed would take even the most experienced person decades to master." Alice moved to the side leaving Edward to hold me. I smiled too, yet I was still unaware of myself. Would I try for Charlie again. Just to be sure, I peeked around Edward at the table. I felt nothing but sorrow.
Even though I wanted to stay in Edward's arms, I pulled away and around him.
"Bella," he softly cautioned. I frowned at him, but then quickly smirked.
"I'm fine, Edward. I can handle myself." And then I looked at the heart monitor, Carlisle standing next to it. He was pressing buttons.

Your insurance policy is the contract that governs the parties' rights, so your best course of action is to hire your own insurance counsel to review your specific policy. They certainly do have the right o investigate your claim, and yes, your instincts are right, they're not sure if your claim is fraudulent, so there may have been something suspicious about it.

Mainistir Chnoc Muaidhe
Ruins of the 12th century Cistercian Knockmoy Abbey
|Coordinates: 53°26′13.2″N 08°44′49.2″W / 53.437000°N 8.747000°W
|County Galway
Abbeyknockmoy (Irish: Mainistir Chnoc Muaidhe, meaning "Abbey of Muaidh's Hill") is a village and parish in County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It is best known for the nearby ruins of the 12th century Cistercian abbey, established with the Kings of Connacht as its benefactors. The abbey was the burial site of King Cathal Crobhdearg Ua Conchobair and contains fine examples of medieval wall paintings and sculpture. It was formerly part of the kingdom of the Soghain of Connacht.
Abbeyknockmoy was originally a Cistercian abbey founded in 1190 by the King of Connacht, Cathal Crobhdearg Ua Conchobair,[1] in fulfilment of a vow made prior to a victory gained by Cathal against the English forces under Almeric de St. Lawrence.[2] Cathal died a Cistercian monk and was buried there in 1224.[3] The new abbey was occupied by Cistercian monks from Boyle Abbey.[2] Substantial parts of the abbey remain, showing close links with other abbeys in the west of Ireland.[1]
The abbey was decorated by medieval wall paintings, traces of which survive in the presbytery: they depict Saint Sebastian, the Crucifixion, the Trinity and the three living and three dead.[1] One of the surviving fragments also depicts a hunting scene, indicating that hunting was popular in medieval Ireland.[4] Additionally, the group of sculptors at Abbeyknockmoy can be identified as the same sculptors at work in Boyle Abbey.[1] There is a capital that includes a fine example of a sculptured head: according to Roger Stalley, "there is a fine royal head on one of the nave piers. The nose and chin are smashed, but the carefully defined eyes, elaborate crown and long curly hair are still intact".[3] He also suggests that the carved head actually represents Ua Conchobair, and "was perhaps a tribute to his benefactions".[5]
The monastery was plundered by William de Burgo in 1200.[6] In 1483, the abbot was accused of setting fire to the abbey.[6]
Abbeyknockmoy is the home of St.Bernards Utd. who won the Western Hygiene Premier Division Title in 2016; the highest League honour in Galway Fa Junior soccer. [7]

Weddings By EmmaSuz provides professional customer service for brides and grooms-to-be from locating a venue for your ceremony/reception to finding reputable vendors to service for event. Whether large or small we are available to make your day extra special. Full service planning and Day-Of assistance is provided. Give us a call today!
How did wedding planner make your day special?
Weddings by EmmaSuz is an unlicensed and unprofessional entity from which people should steer clear.
She did not make my daughter's day special. She was not organized...did not even have a check-off list. Although she offered to do so much more, and complained that I was not giving her anything (or enough) to do, she failed to adequately perform the duties expected of her: to make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, had what they were supposed to have, and did what they were supposed to do. She didn't even make sure the flower girls had their baskets with petals prior to walking down the aisle in front of my daughter. My son rolled out the white runner, but no red petals were thrown on it, because she never got the baskets out of my car! The flower girls were sent down the aisle holding hands.
Even though I was immediately whisked off to be with my daughter upon my arrival at the church, I noticed when we were lining up that the flower girls did not have baskets. I was told that they were waiting for them in the vestibule. They were not! The parents and grandparents of the flower girls were so upset by this "mistake," that I told the coordinator (Emmanuella Suzette Longmire) to make sure the flower girls got an opportunity to spread their petals at the reception. My daughter, the bride, had to remind her of that at the reception, or they would not have had an opportunity to do it there either.
Her performance at the reception left a lot to be desired as well. Although she was with me when I purchased bottles of water to decorate as favors and provide to the guests (they were supposed to have been put on the tables by her staff), she told my guests there was no water and gave some of them tap water in plastic cups. The "staff of six" which she kept telling me she had to make sure everyone was served and had a good time at the reception turned out to be children. One young man walked on the bottoms of his pants legs all day; they ate and drank before our guests; they drank sparkling cider in front of the guests instead of passing it out to them in the flutes provided, so the toasts were made without sparkling cider or champagne flutes; they packed up and carted off food from the reception without permission; they broke a serving item provided by the family; the coordinator took the other one with her (a glass decanter used to serve tea) with the promise of returning it to me the next day clean, and she never returned it (later claiming that it was the broken one, because it had no lid when she took it; I saw the boy who walked on the bottoms of his pants legs playing with it before she left and her daughter was telling him to stop); because I didn't praise her performance at this fiasco, she became defensive and even belligerent, yelling into the telephone and hanging up abruptly; this list seems to go on and on.
There were signs that she was not professional probably a couple of weeks before the wedding, but I had already paid her by then. She sent me an email calling one of my vendors a "BUTTHOLE" (yes, in capital letters and in writing), because he would not agree to something we wanted him to do.
After ranting and raving about the "mistakes" not being her fault, she began trying to "dictate" to me what she would do to resolve this, which wasn't much, just replace the two decanters. She has done nothing to rectify this situation.
During our communications, she commented that she had gotten several compliments from the guests. I quickly informed her that that was probably true, but it was a result of my hard work and not hers. She found it difficult to argue with that point, so she did not respond.
Although I have filed the appropriate complaints (BBB, Shelby County Clerk/Business Licensing, and State of Tennessee Business Licensing), I would hate to see another family go through this same type of ordeal.
Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered?
How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla?
See above narrative.
Value of a wedding planner?
None in this case.
I had to put something in the star rankings in order to save these comments, but this wedding coordinator deserves 0 stars across the board.

Defense Chief May Resign By ERNEST B VACCARO Washington close ad viser to President Truman said Saturday that Louis Johnson is on his way out as secretary of de fense This administration confidant who declined to be quoted by name said that Johnson may step out before the general election in November This report lacked any official confirmation from the white house or defense department In fact the current feeling in congress is that the president is still sticking by his defense secretary Removal Asked Johnson has been the target of a swelling flood of criticism from congressmen and other sources This reached its bitterest pitch last weekend when Rep Tauriello D N in a 2nd demand for John son to quit said he understood Johnson helped force the late de fense secretary James Forrestal out of office And only Friday the marine corps league adopted a resolution calling for Johnsons removal Mr Truman has vigorously de fended Johnson dn more than 1 occasion However some white house aides said the president has been increasingly concerned over per sisting reports of differences be tween Johnson and Secretary of State Acheson Doesnt Like Criticism One daily confidant of the pres ident said that while Mr Truman will defend to the limit an ap pointee from outside attack he is concerned because of published reports of defense department criticism of the secretary of state Of this you may be sure one white house aide said the presi dent feels that Secretary of State Acheson has borne up in this case with supreme dignity and will re main in the cabinet after Johnson has gone How long Johnson will stay on the job this source said is the only question He added that he may step out sooner than most people realize AP Wircplioto READY TO EVEN U S 25th division machine gun

word Saturday from I H Shaw climatologist at Iowa State college Shaw says the average corn in Iowa should be matured by the end of September Average frost dates start out on Oct 1 in north western Iowa but are as late as Oct 9 in the southern part of the state Since weather bureau record ings taken at a level of 5 feet above the ground frosts in low spots may not be recorded and wouldnt be figured in the average frost date Shaw set average maturity dates for corn this year from Sept 23 in southern Iowa to Sep 27 in the north central section of the state He adds 50 days to the period when reports indicated 75 per cent of the corn was in silk to deter mine the maturity date Experi ments the last 3 years indicate it takes that long for corn to reach maturity This period between silking and maturity is the same for early or late varieties Shaw says Shaw refers to maturity as the time when corn has its maximum dry the time when it can be safely cribbed The period of 75 per cent silk ing in corn through the state was gathered by the U S weather bureau and Iowa department of agriculture About 300 fields were sampled An average of the last 23 years shows that the date of maturity in different sections of Iowa ranges from September 18 to 20 In other words Iowa corn is only about 68 days later than average this year Shaw points out Clinton Clinton Her ald Saturday launched a cam paign of letterwriting in an ef fort to offset claims by Jakob Malik red delegate to the Unitec Nations that he has received 20 000 communications protesting UIv bombings in North Korea

think we should continue to drop bombs not powder puffs 01 North Koreans then readthis Clinton readers also were urgec to pass the along to friend in other cities in an effort to snowball the local movement into a national project In an accompanying article the Herald said Imagine the effect Austin could create by dumping a few million letters supporting him in a pile on the floor of the United Nations conference room and then inviting Malik to put his alleged 20000 letters alongside hem Austin could take pride in pointing out that the letters he eceived were written voluntarily and not by individuals who had nachine guns trained on them ould Malik do likewise without blushing We doubt it The form letter set up so it can be easily clipped and mailed states that the writer is in com plete accord with Austins efforts an behalf of world if it means dropping bombs in in effect claims that Russian aggression is a menace to freedomloving people who pay respect to God in their own fash ion Je Says Real Peace Is Not Near in Korea Chicago Lie said Friday night that a permanent peaceful solution for Korea is not ikcly while critical tension pro vails between east and west The secretarygeneral of the United Nations told a joint mcet of several local organizations that the problem must be solved ns part of a general eastwest settle ment of many issues But he said this must be long range aim after UN forces hnve defeated the communists in Korea and restored peace there First Lie said the world must learn that armed aggression does not pay He blamed North Korea for the hostilities and stressed the importance of the UN fighting that war to a finish He told his audience of about 3000 at the Stevens hotel that other UN nations will support the American fighting forces in Ko rea with a total of from 30000 to 50000 men He based the figures he said on offers made through his office But he told a news con ference earlier hat the help is still weeks or months away Lie said the victory will require increased military aid by the other members of the United Na tions find he called upon them for it For the South Korean de fense he said the world owes American military forces and Gen Douglas MacArthur a mounting debt of gratitude Te have let the North Korean aggression go unchallenged he added would have been disastrous for the UN and for world peace Lie said the aim of the UN in the conflict must be a united and independent Korea in which all the people of Korea are able free ly to elect a government of their own choosing A permanent solution in Korea will require more than the freely given consent of the Korean people It will be necessary for Korea to have Rood and peaceful relations with China and the Soviet Union as well as with Japan and the rest of

not believe his liable capitol sources could find no indications in official govern ment or diplomatic quarters that war with Russia is an immediate likelihood Deweys flat statement that war with Russia is coming eventual ly provoked an equal amount of speculation It seemed to reflect a change in attitude for the New York governor who has repeated ly said he hopes allout war can be avoided Counter to State His statement implying an in evitable war with the soviet ran directly counter to the attitude of the state department It differed sharply from the best analysis of the world situation available in diplomatic circles Secretary of State Dean Ache son has said in the strongest terms that war is not inevitable Like President Truman Acheson is known to be violently opposed to the idea of a preventive war1 with Russia He immediately quashed the idea when it was ad vanced by Navy Secretary Fran cis P Matthews The president said only last week that he hopes the present Korean war will not expand into a general war He also attacked the concept of a preventive war and Said the United States is dead against it Dewey made the remarks at a Chamber of Commerce farm din ner in Syracuse N Y Friday night He prefaced his by saying that he has been askeci by many persons when a 3rd World war would break out War Eventually A number of well informed people tell me that it will come this month however I don1 believe it Dewey said But it is coming eventually he added The New York governor twice defeated as GOP candidate for president said the conviction had a lot to do with

The Best Art is in the Airport
The airport used to be a place that evoked glamour. Men and women wore their finest clothes, and flight attendants and captains reminded us of movie stars. Frank Sinatra asked us to fly with him, and the world used terms like "jet-setting."
Now, the airport is less about magic and more about lines—lines for the ticketing desk, lines to get patted down at security, and lines to get into other lines.
But it's not all bad. If you stop and take a look around, you might see something truly spectacular at the airport.
In the Seattle-Tacoma airport, for example, you'll find works by Frank Stella, Robert Maki and Robert Rauschenberg. In San Jose's airport, you can walk beneath a cloud made up of hundreds of panels. Look closely and you'll see each panel depicts the changes in weather in all the cities you can fly to from San Jose. Dan Goods, Nik Hafermaas, and Aaaron Koblin are the artists behind the eCLOUD.
Some airports have even opened museums and curate roving exhibits. Others display their art more subtly, incorporating it into the architecture, the floors, even the monorails that take you from terminal to terminal.
And spending has grown for airport art over the past decade as more and more cities are requiring that public building projects allocate 1 percent to 2 percent of their budgets on art.
Sharing their insights on airport art are two airport art curators.
Rebecca Blume Rothman is the Public Art Project Manager with the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture, which is in the midst of a multi-million dollar public arts project in the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
Colleen McPoland is the manager of the Aviation Art Program at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
