Skydiver safely jumps from stratosphere over New Mexico
By Zelie Pollon
ROSWELL, New Mexico (Reuters) - An Austrian daredevil leapt into the stratosphere from a balloon near the edge of space 24 miles above Earth on Sunday and safely landed, setting a record for the highest skydive and breaking the sound barrier in the process.
Cheers broke out as Felix Baumgartner, 43, jumped from a skateboard-sized shelf outside the 11-by-8-foot (3.3-by-2.4 meter) fiberglass and acrylic capsule that was carried higher than 128,000 feet by an enormous balloon.
"We love you Felix!" screamed the crowd gathered in a mission control setting at his launch site in Roswell, New Mexico as more than 8 million people watched his feat online.
Baumgartner's body pierced the atmosphere at 833.9 miles per hour, according to preliminary numbers released by Brian Utley, the certification official for the Federation Aeronautic International, at a press conference afterward.
Baumgartner's speed clinched one of his goals: to become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier, typically measured at more than 690 mph. And he did so on the 65th anniversary of legendary American pilot Chuck Yeager's flight shattering the sound barrier on October 14, 1947.
Utley said preliminary figures indicate Baumgartner broke a total of three established world records, including the highest altitude skydive, longest freefall without a parachute and fastest fall achieved during a skydive.
Baumgartner landed safely on the ground and raised his arms in a victory salute just 10 minutes after he stepped into the air. Soon he was hugged by his mother and father, who took their first trip outside Europe to see his historic plunge, and his girlfriend jumped up and wrapped her legs around him.
"It was way harder than I expected," Baumgartner said. Recalling his final words before he stepped into the stratosphere, he said, "Sometimes you have to get up really high to know how small you are." Continued...

It seems that all major actresses of Bollywood are prone to suffer the horror of wardrobe malfunction and Katrina Kaif nearly fell into that category when she suffered a near wardrobe malfunction on Friday night at a music awards performance.
The incident happened when the Bollywood heartthrob Katrina was dancing on the stage with several other female dancers when her red top threatened to slip off one shoulder exposing her modesty. But luckily Katrina kept her presence of mind and made sure she did not perform certain steps which would have led to the top falling off completely.
According to the sources all was well with the apparel when Katrina had tried it before the performance but somehow it gave away during the dance performance. Most of these clothes are made in very short time and also it is a different thing to stand with garment and other to perform dance routines with the same garment.
Wardrobe malfunctions have become a routine affair in the modelling industry and therefor designers and their tailors have been taking extra precautions to prevent such disasters in the future. Katrina was lucky that the top did not expose more than what was necessary there by avoiding any embarrassment to her.

Milwaukee area marinas
We've got 11 days this summer to make the trek across Lake Michigan from Grand Haven to the Wisconsin shoreline. The closest direct line port would be Milwaukee. I crossed last year and stayed at the South Shore Yacht Club. However, I found the club to be too far from the downtown to enjoy all that Milwaukee offers. Can anyone recommend another marina/anchorage in the Milwaukee area for 3 or 4 days?
Alternatively, is there somewhere else we should head to in Wisconsin instead of Milwaukee? I know many will recommend Door County, but I'm not sure it's do-able with our time frame and starting location of Grand Haven. Please let me know if you think otherwise. I suppose we could head north to Pentwater or Frankfort and then cross to Door County. But this would at at least 2 days to both ends of the trip, if not more.
McKinley Park Marina on the North Side of the Breakwall System is a very nice marina. We stayed there last year for one night. It is right in the heart of the Park with lots to do right around there. A quick walk up the bluff and you are on a city street with lots of nightlife and restaurants. I forget the name of the street, but it's an old town Milwaukee favorite.
We hopped in a cab and had a very fine dinner at the world famous Mader's German Restaurant. The Schnitzel was outstanding.<O:p</O:p
The Marina is very clean and has what I would call a small town feel in a big city. When you enter the Marina, it is divided into (3) sections with a ton of mooring balls right in the middle of all the slips. It can be a bit confusing and if I remember correctly, my charts were not accurate but my plotter was.
Simply pull up to the fuel dock and check in at the office. They are very helpful and the staff was first rate. I would say however, that this was one of the more expensive transient fee's I have seen. I think our overnight stay was around $65.00
Here is a link to McKinley Marina.........http://www.county.milwaukee.gov/BoatingampMcKinleyMa9139.htm<O:p></O:p>
Port Washington is the next stop going North, If you like small town atmosphere, than this is the place.
Racine is a very fine marina just to the South of Milwaukee.<O:p</O:p
It has much more to offer than Port Washington, but not as much as Milwaukee. Downtown shopping is a short walk away and the Marina has a pool to relax in.
Have fun on your cruise and don't forget Muskegon on July 11.<O:p</O:p<O:p</O:p

Chad Simmons: It is hard to know exactly if UGA is in third place, but it seems like that going into this visit. Bellamy has been one though that can change his thoughts on a school quickly. It is not that he doesn't like UGA, he does, but he has not been recruited by them the same way or for as long as FSU has recruited him. With that said, both D.J. Eliot and Dameyune Craig are no longer at FSU and they were the coaches that recruited him for the 'Noles. Tennessee's staff is new as well and now UGA is back in the mix, so each school has a shot. He will likely visit N.C. State too on February 1. This visit is it for Georgia though. They have to get in the game here or they are out. They have to show Bellamy how he can fit into their scheme and how he could make an early impact. If they do those things, UGA will be a true contender.
Dean Legge: Last year the Bulldogs rallied to steal and sign a committed player, Josh Dawson (Vanderbilt at the time), on Signing Day. Are there similarities with Dawson and Bellamy in terms of the recruiting process late in the ballgame?
Chad Simmons: There are a few similarities actually... Both grew up fans of Georgia, both were offered by Georgia after other schools had offered them, and both visited Georgia in January after being committed to an ACC school for a significant amount of time. They are both similar players too... Both are long at 6-feet, 3-inches tall or taller, both are versatile, and both have played other sports in high school. The one difference here is, Tucker has been a Georgia feeder and Chamblee has not. I thought at this time a year ago that Georgia would get Dawson, but I am not so sure as of today with Bellamy. This weekend could change my feeling though.
Dean Legge: The question remains, too, where Bellamy will play in college. So where will be play –defensive end or outside linebacker?
Chad Simmons: It really depends. If he goes to FSU or Tennessee, it is all defensive end, weakside defensive end to be exact. At Georgia, they will move him around from end to outside backer. He would play some with his hand on the ground and some standing up. He is a great athlete who has good room to develop physically and he loves to rush the quarterback. That is his biggest strength right now and that is why UGA has a little battle here trying to convince him he could excel in a role of outside linebacker in their scheme. He would play some with his hand down there, but not every down.

Axon's AI Work: What's Ahead
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an important topic in technology and has the potential to dramatically impact law enforcement. Recent headlines have highlighted these opportunities and the risks that come with them. We'd like to walk you through Axon's roadmap for AI and the steps we are taking to implement this technology responsibly.
Choose the Network, Not a Camera
Agencies must be sure that they are choosing the right technology platform. It is not enough to adopt a cloud storage system for body camera video and audio.
Streamline Your Search Process with Evidence.com
Law enforcement agencies may collect hundreds of hours of video footage, thousands of digital images, and hours of digital audio recordings every single week. We don't believe you should spend that much time hunting for important evidence. With Evidence.com, you don't have to.
Axon featured in Bloomberg Businessweek
Bloomberg Businessweek ran a great article detailing the history of TASER and Axon last week.
Need Help Organizing Evidence? We Can Help.
Adopting new technology can place an enormous burden on law enforcement agencies. Managing the massive amounts of data digital technology can produce is a time-consuming and complex task. Many agencies are already struggling to keep up with the demand, and most don't have long-term storage plans in place.
Do you spend more time dealing with the technology on your toolbelt than policing?
The time it takes to ingest evidence is keeping your officers off the streets. It doesn't have to. With our Axon solutions, you can use technology to streamline your evidence-related processes.
Geekiest Tech Office in Seattle? You Bet.
Our space-themed office was recognized by GeekWire as the geekiest office in Seattle! Being the geekiest at something is a badge Axon wears with honor.
Evidence Management Webinar
Watch our latest webinar on Digital Evidence Management to learn more about how to evaluate your current evidence management workflow to better streamline the process from capture to courtroom.
Questions to Ask Cloud Providers
Debating between on-premise storage and a cloud-based solution for your data? We've compiled some questions you should ask to determine if a cloud provider is worthy of your trust.
Quick Facts
Press Kit & Media Assets
View press materials here. Access the media assets for images and case studies, and download the press kit for information, including Axon's company profile, history, and leadership, as well as information on our body cameras and digital evidence management systems.
Press Contact
Please send press and media inquiries using the form below.
If you have an urgent deadline please call the Axon Media Relations Hotline at (+1) 480-444-4000 between 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM M-F Arizona time (Arizona does not utilize Daylight Savings Time).

The English program nurtures students' creative, critical, and analytical abilities with regard to poetry, fiction, drama and nonfiction. In so doing, the program develops students' appreciation of writing as an art form, providing the opportunity to explore and examine the full range of human experience. The objectives of the program leading to a Bachelor of Arts with an English major are to prepare students for graduate or professional studies and careers that demand a sound background in literary studies, analytic reading, and writing skills.
The English program supports the English Club, which focuses on social and community service activities; a chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the national English honor society; and the University literary magazine, Aulama, published annually.
The writing concentration provides students with the study and practice of various forms of written expression and practical publishing experiences.
Literature and Criticism
The Literature and Criticism concentration emphasizes a historical knowledge of western literary history as well as familiarity with diverse interpretive approaches.
Drawing upon literature and writing coursework, the Teaching concentration prepares students, in part, for a career in English education at the secondary level. In addition, the recommended courses offered for this section assist the students in preparing for the English Language, Literature, and Composition component of the PRAXIS exam.

Former Rigby councilman accused of fraud, theft
RIGBY, Idaho - A former Rigby city councilman is accused of insurance fraud and grand theft, both felonies.
Reid Blackburn was arraigned in 7th District Court in Rigby on Monday on both charges.
The Idaho Attorney General's Office filed the charges April 1. Office spokesperson Bob Cooper said Blackburn was arrested in Gilbert, Ariz., around May 20.
According to the attorney general's complaint, Blackburn used an Allianz annuity application in May 2009 to falsely identify himself as the son of the applicant, Margaret L. Orvick. The insurance fraud charge has a maximum penalty of up to 15 years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
Blackburn is also accused of using money from the Orvick estate for a variety of personal expenses. The grand theft charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
A preliminary hearing has not yet been set. Blackburn is free on $5,000 bond.

Yet, just as in the case of the Federal Constitution, this phrase is, as a practical matter, meaningless.
But this word appeared nowhere in the Federal Constitution—a pointed omission if ever there was one.
In the tendency of the federal government to encroach upon the States lay, he thought, the danger of the Federal Constitution.
It had recently entered by adopting the Federal Constitution.
Yet the ordinance provided for coperation with other states upon the basis of the Federal Constitution.
On the 11th of June the draft of a Federal Constitution was published.
Its destruction or extension must be the work of local law, not of the Federal Constitution, nor of Federal law made under it.
In 1788, he was a member of the convention for ratifying the Federal Constitution.
The answer is indicated in the provision of the Federal Constitution upon which our copyright legislation is founded.
But that had been long ago, before the days of her discovery of the Federal Constitution.

These were so much fun to make. They look much cuter in person than they do in the picture. I obviously need to refine the details, but I love how they turned out. These are a miniature version of a template posted here on CC. Forgive me, I don't remember the name, but the picture I printed has "Kathy's Custom Cakes" on it. So, thank you for the template.

- - Delivery captain needed Seattle to San Francisco (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/crew-wanted-available/45332-delivery-captain-needed-seattle-san-francisco.html)
Delivery captain needed Seattle to San Francisco
We are moving our boat, and we need a captain (and crew)!
The boat is a CG documented 1997 Hylas 46, surveyed last in October. Equipped with EPIRB, SSB, Radar, GPS, Autopilot, Winslow 6 person liferaft, in mast furling main and 130% furling genoa.
Vessel carries 200 gallons of freshwater and 100 gallons of diesel. Engine is a 65hp Yanmar with 2900 hours.
She is in good condition, EPIRB and liferaft are being recertified, and some other maintenance items will be completed.
This would be from Seattle to San Francisco. In mid-late august. If possible, we'd want to either join the boat for the departure or the inbound leg to SF.
Please PM me if interested.
We'd prefer a captain who will sail the boat rather than motor down the coast, though we understand that this would depend on conditions and safety factors.
Ok I will bite. I hold a 100 ton masters of oceans. Made just over 50 deliveries to the Caribbean. Have may own crew. $900 a day 400 for me, $150 for each crew (only 2) 25 a day for meals times 3 , the difference is for dessert. plus air fair back and forth.
So you are located out of NY? I suppose I should note, we'd prefer a west coast skipper + crew if only for people familiar with doing this trip. Have you done any pacific coast deliveries?
Paul, this time of year the run South wouldn't be too much different than a run South across the Gulf Stream, if the Pacific High stays around. Three crew for a run like this? I'd use four total considering that ya can't put in anywhere before SF if the weather comes up.
The gulf stream runs north though, whereas the pacific current goes south -- so I suppose this should be even easier. Weather permitting..
Speaking of weather -- would carrying a trysail, drogue, para-anchor, etc be expected?
Oh yes, especially off this coast. PM me if ya like.
Hey Paul! My name's Drew and I'm interested in the trip. I'm 22 and from Newport Rhode Island. I grew up around the ocean and boats and have spent the last few summers racing and crewing 12 meter yachts. We did a few deliveries to nantucket and surrounding areas. When were you planning on having the boat leave? What is the pay, etc. Also where are you moored/docked? I work at elliot bay marina and would like to meet and see the boat if you are around that area.
Try Hank Schmitt. He's got an outfit called Offshore Passage Opportunities (www.sailopo.com). The great thing about Hank's outfit is that you pay only for the skipper. The crew come along for free because they're looking to build up sea time for a variety of reasons (mostly to get to another level of licensing).
If that fails, try this woman July Hildebrand (firstname.lastname@example.com). She's got a 100T Master License, and has tremendous experience, not to mention a super nice and responsible skipper.
If you reach out to either Hank or Judy, tell them I referred you.
Hi there, I am delivering a 170 ft research ship from seattle to long beach next week. After that I am free. I have great sailing experience and just completed my 100 ton masters captains license. My prices are very competitive. I will be in seattle wed. I can have my own crew(my wife and a friend if needed), and just finished 975 miles on our 42 foot cat. If this interests you please PM me, I like to talk on the phone more than type.
David A. Girvin
Hi Paul77, iwas wondering if you are still looking for a delivery captain. I have both my USCG 200 ton and MCA 200 ton and have extensive sailing experience on the west coast. I lived in Ballard for a year. Please let me know if you are still looking. Thank you

Seminar Profile
Upcoming Seminars with this course
There are currently no upcoming seminars with this course.
Conquest (History of the Khulafā')
- Information
- Course Outline
- Testimonials
"Whoever says the Prophet has died
I will strike him with my sword"
It was the greatest trial to ever befall this ummah. It seemed as if a light had been extinguished, and suddenly, a land once full of light seemed sadly dark. Had the Messenger of Allah really passed away? Confusion set in, and in many ways the Muslims felt that a part of them had indeed died. Suddenly, out of the confusion rose a strong but familiar voice:
Whosoever worshipped Muhammad, Muhammad is dead. Whosoever worships Allah, then He is Ever-Living and does not die.
In the years that followed, the ummah would be lead through trials and triumphs of every kind - from the battles of apostasy during the khilafa of Abu Bakr to famine and plague during the rule of 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab; from the vast expansions of 'Uthman ibn Affan to the tragic fitnah among the Sahabah during the rule of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib.
But, who were the men behind the lofty title of khalifah?
Join us for the return of this epic seminar:
Taught by Shaykh Abdulbary Yahya
Who is this Seminar For?
- Anyone who needs the tools to filter truth from propaganda.
- Parents searching for role models to teach their children.
- Teachers in Islamic schools who may not have background in the Islamic sciences.
- Educated Muslims who want to be informed and literate regarding Islamic history.
- Muslims in leadership positions who want to learn the leadership techniques of the Khulafaa'.
- University students or High school seniors involved in Islam Awareness weeks.
- Muslim civil liberties activists that are frequently confronted with allegations against the 'history' of Islam.
- Anyone who works with Muslim youth in Sunday schools or youth groups.
- New members of the community who would like to make lasting friendships with students from all over their locality.
The Footsteps of the Rightly Guided...
We know their names, we even name our children after them, but what it is that truly set them apart? In this newly-developed version of an AlMaghrib classic, Shaykh Abdulbary Yahya takes us on a journey through the lives of four of the greatest men to walk this earth:
Abu Bakr 'Umar 'Uthman 'Ali
Cling to it with your molar teeth...
"(follow) my Sunnah, and the Sunnah of the Khulafaa ar-Raashideen (rightly guided successors)." - Ibn Maajah
They were the best men – in their words and deeds - and it is their guidance we are told to follow - to hold on to it with our molar teeth! - but what does this guidance entail? Learn the qualities that made the Khulafaa successful in all aspects of their lives – from their relationship with their families to their differing styles of leadership. The lessons from their lives not only teach us about who they were as individuals, but also help us to learn how to live our own lives.
"Every class I have attended has been a blast. May Allah reward all the people associated with AlMaghrib Institute" - Ferouz Tafoya, Albuquerque, NM
What you will learn in this Seminar:
By the end of this seminar you will be able to...
- Recognize the different leadership techniques of the Khulafaa.
- Appreciate the sacrifices and sincerity of the Sahaabah.
- Recall historical events whose outcome impacts modern events and geopolitics.
- Understand the issues that eventually led to the Shia division and other sects.
- And - most importantly - if the darkness of ignorance and division and propaganda descends in your lifetime, you will know what to clench on to.
"...The Eman rush I got was immeasurable and the quality and quantity of knowledge I gained far surpassed my expectations. Shaykh Abdulbary is a superb storyteller, has a captivating lecturing style, and a great sense of humor. The material was oozing with GEMs, priceless chunks of knowledge and wisdom." - Samia Abuisnaineh, Chicago, IL
How is this relevant?
Besides the adventure & identity-building you'll get by learning the heroic stories of our forefathers, studying the History of the Khulafaa is even more relevant today:
- Can't keep your life balanced? Learn how Abu Bakr lead an Ummah, succeeded in business, raised a family, all while secretly taking care of the weak and the widowed at night.
- Faced with a tough decision? Find out how Abu Bakr assessed a critical decision based on fundamental principals regardless of public opinion
- Compromising your values? Extract strength from the stories of Umar, the man who was the first to pray publicly despite a threatening environment.
- Feeling weak in eman? Study the traits of a man from whom the Shaytan would flee at first sight – Umar!
- Feeling strapped for cash? Take example from Uthman and his story of riches. How can a Muslim be successful in this life and the next – you'll find it in this man.
- Can't figure out the difference between modesty and lack of confidence? Bring Uthman into your life and understand how a Khalifa of a quickly expanding Ummah can also be among the shyest of the Sahabah.
- Disgusted by Masjid politics? Analyze the tragic fitnah between the Sahabah and how Ali wisely addressed the situation.
- Still figuring out the family life? Learn how wise Ali was as a spouse to the daughter of the Prophet and a father to the two Masters of Paradise – Hasan & Hussain.
May the pleasure of Allah (Swt) be upon them all – our dear companions of the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wassalam).

After spending the last 14 months starting the program from scratch with finding recruits and transfers, he has accumulated a roster of 34 freshman, two redshirt freshman, three sophomores, two juniors and only three seniors on the roster.
They got to see their first intercollegiate action at the sixth annual Northeast Classic, hosted by there Vermont Catamounts in Braintree, Mass. The teams that took part this year was Boston University, Hartford, Holy Cross, Providence, Sacred Heart and the Vermont.
The first test of the day for the Terriers was the Sacred Heart Pioneers. They got off to a rough start, trailing 6-0 early before losing the game 10-7, according to coach Polley. Things changed in the Terriers second game of the day against Hartford. The Terriers were able to pull out a tough 9-8 loss to the Hawks. The Terriers and Hawks subbed liberally late in the game giving the Hawks the chance to come back in the exhibition contest.
"We came out a little flat, unsure of everything, and went down 6-0 to Sacred Heart. The guys did a great job the rest of the day of competing and I'm happy with the way we played," said Polley. "We did a good job of clearing the ball today, which is a good sign from a first-year program like us. We need to get better at everything but it was a real good start and foundation for us."
Polley said the offensive players that stood out for the Terriers were freshmen Brendan Barrett and Pat Myers. Barrett scored two excellent goals against Hartford while Myers was able to help the entire offense out with multiple excellent assists. Polley raved about the performance from freshman goalie Christian Carson-Banister, who had a solid game against Hartford. Carson-Banister made several outstanding stops in the second game and showing leadership between the pipes.
Holy Cross continues to develop under third-year head coach Jim Morrissey as they are coming off a 7-8 campaign. The seven wins by the Crusaders were the most since the 1988 season when they went 8-7 in the Colonial League.
I was able to catch the Holy Cross game against Vermont. The most impressive player for Holy Cross was sophomore goaltender Michael Ortlieb, who was excellent between the pipes. He made several saves on low and high shots.
On offense, sophomore attackman Sean Wilkinson dominated three goals against the Catamounts. Two out of three of his goals came off of excellent off-ball cuts creating openings for himself. Wilkinson's performance was praised by Morrissey. Wilkinson had limited appearances last season appearing in nine games and recording one goal on four shots. On Sunday, it looked to me that Wilkinson is due for a breakout season.
The one freshman to really stand out for Holy Cross was Sean Kirkpatrick from Wilmington Friend's in Delaware. "He was able to use his big body (6-foot-6) and get off his shot," said Morrissey.
In 2013, new PC head coach Chris Gabrielli was able to lead the Friars to a 8-8 record while picking up the program's second program victory in the Big East, this time over Rutgers. On Sunday, the Friars began the day against the Hartford Hawks before taking on Holy Cross in their second game.
One freshman that really stood out to me was Alex Corboy from College Park, Md. He was working well on the attack off of senior Sean Wright, who set him with excellent scoring opportunities.
The leaders of the squad are the captains in Wright, Andrew Barton, and Zach Rogers. "They are our captains but are the true leaders on this team," said Gabrielli. It has shown under Gabrielli that these three have taken on the leadership of the program by directing the offensive and defensive calls.
Gabrielli was reserved with the fallball results saying "We want to have perspective on the results and things like that. As we focused on our team meeting on Saturday night and our first 21 practices, we want to focus on things we have worked on." This was evident, as Gabrielli said that the squad hasn't worked on man up, man down, or special situations yet, which led to some confusion in what they want to do with the ball in those situations. With this in mind, Gabrielli said "I was able to see what we have worked on in a game situation."
— Hartford junior Kevin O'Shea was outstanding throughout the day showing off excellent dodging skills during the five quarters that I had the chance to observe. O'Shea scored four goals including a nice short-side goal on BU goalie Kyle Lange. He scored two goals coming off the X to score easily as the BU defenders had some problems with switches.
— Vermont's Graham Horvath scored two goals during the half of play that I observed — scoring the most spectacular goal. He dodged his defender and looked like he was going to run past the goal before quickly doing a behind-the-back shot that beat Ortlieb.

Woodys Sedona Wedding Cake
In today world of wedding cakes Brides and Grooms are looking for the cake to make a statement about them. Whether it being a simple or over the top cake. There are meanings behind the look, flavor, design, and accents.
Sedona Sweet Arts is lucky to have a Cake Artist that is willing to go the extra mile to get that special touch.
Every element of this cake was custom from the frosting, flavor, topper and accents.
Originally Bride had an out of town friend that was going to do her cake. Then her friend had a family member get ill, so just a month away we took this cake on. Most of our large cakes get booked a minimum of 6 months ahead. Donna Joy jumped through some hoops to get things done.
Pastry Chef / Cake Artist Donna Joy prefers to make all her sugar pieces herself. Since the ideas and themes are moving targets she generally does them free handed even though she will make or use a mold if possible.
This cake the bride requested we use her favorite cake and frosting be used. Both recipes for the Ganache frosting and cake forwarded to Donna Joy. She tested both out ahead of time to make sure they were workable. A few minor adjustments were made to formulas. Then the formulas were scaled to meet the needs of wedding size. The party was a pretty good size party. The Wedding party opted to keep the cost within a certain price point, the main cake served a maximum of 83 and then a sheet cake with the same flavors was created for additional servings.
While the flavors and frosting were a must for the Bride, she also had this adorable topper created by her Aunt from paper. The arms and legs moved. The image of Bride and Groom was a reproduction of the real Bride and Groom. It's it sweet? Donna Joy had to make some adjustment to the cake to make it work. We just love it!
The sugar adornments were all done free hand by Donna Joy. Acorns, plants, mushrooms, dirt, green fiddle heads. The mushrooms were created with food grade anchors so they could be placed on cake and then moved around with out moving or falling. Then she also made a moss cake riser to have the cake sit on and pull the theme together.
We just loved everything about creating this cake especially the flexibility of Pastry Chef Donna Joy to work with someone else recipe, to creating the sugar pieces ,working with the Brides topper and do so all last minute.

Businesses left out of Auction Rate Securities Settlements?
As discussed in this Bloomberg article, the settlements reached by regulators regarding auction rate securities sales with many of the large brokerage firms fail to help medium to large businesses who were also sold ARS. Although the required buyouts in the settlements with UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Wachovia Corp. reached $35 billion, this amount only approximates 18% of the $200 billion estimated to be still outstanding.
Although the settlements call for the firms to use their best efforts to help institutional investors stuck with the frozen ARS, they fall short of requiring a buyback. This situation may force mid-sized to large companies to seek redress on their own through the arbitration or court system. Please contact Greco & Greco if your business is holding frozen ARS as a result of fraudulent sales practices of a brokerage firm.

Auction Rate Securities Failures
Auction Rate Securities and Auction Rate Preferred Securities (ARS) are securities made up of long term bonds or preferred stock with variable interest rates and yields. The yields are periodically reset through Dutch auctions. ARS are often marketed and sold by a single dealer with the only resale market being through a successful auction. Problems have arisen in recent months as a result of the failures of the auctions, leaving investors in the lurch and unable to redeem the security. As set out in this SmartMoney article, ARS have been marketed as a safe, liquid alternative to money market funds. Investors believing they had their money in a safe liquid investment are understandably concerned by the failures in the marketplace for these securities, and our firm has been monitoring the situation closely and discussing the matter with concerned individuals and businesses. Misrepresentations and omissions in the sale of a security can form the basis for a claim for securities fraud as well as other legal claims for recovery of damages.
As recently as 2006, the SEC censured 15 of the largest brokerage firms for sales and auctions of Auction Rate Securities. As stated by the SEC in its press release, "since the firms were under no obligation to guarantee against a failed auction, investors may not have been aware of the liquidity and credit risks associated with certain securities." The SEC further stated that "the firms violated Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, which prohibits material misstatements and omissions in any offer or sale of securities." The fifteen firms which were censured were Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated/ Morgan Stanley DW Inc., RBC Dain Rauscher Inc., A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., Piper Jaffray & Co., SunTrust Capital Markets Inc., Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, and Banc of America Securities LLC. Read the SEC Order here.
UBS appears to be the first firm to actually begin lowering the values of auction rate securities on its customers' statements, as reported by many news sources on March 29 including this Reuters article. Citing a Wall Street Journal article, Reuters reported that the markdowns could exceed 20 percent for some customers. Additional concessions from other firms may be forthcoming as the first quarter of 2008 ends.
State Regulators, including Massachusetts, have also begun investigations of the auction rate securities market with Massachusetts reportedly issuing subpoenas to UBS, Merrill Lynch, and Bank of America.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) released an Investor Alert on March 31, 2008 regarding auction rate securities which purports to set out various options for investors stuck with these products. FINRA, which claims to be a "trusted advocate for investors," notably fails to mention contacting an attorney or filing an arbitration claim as options. If you are an investor who was sold Auction Rate Securities, and you would like to discuss your legal options with an attorney, please Contact Greco & Greco.

It's just an old wives' tale that saying the name MacBeth will bring a curse on your credit card… but just to be sure, you should do the banishing ritual. Hold your breath, squeeze your nose, and buy a few products. Then, exhale. Curse gone forever!
We've got the gathering drum and have found that kids of all ages really like it. Once you hear the sound, it draws you in. One rule and one rule only -- no playing after dark. Too big a sound for our neighbors...
For that action camera pack, does the camera charge/recharge while in use? Many of these type of camera do not i.e. you can't use it at all while it's plugged into a power source.
These are $19 at Amazon. Glad I looked there first.
They've ripped off the rifle from Mass Effect. I'm thinking about getting a couple of these and then repainting them for cosplay...

By the late 1880's, the growing Catholic population made a larger church necessary. Bishop James O'Connor send Father Wunibald Wolf to Grand Island with orders to build a new church. Construction began in 1888, Bishop O'Connor laid the cornerstone August 15 and the fully finished building was dedicated July 7, 1889 by the Vicar General, Father R. Schaffel, representing the Bishop.
The new church was build of brick and stone, was 44 by 119 feet, had two towers 104 feet high and cost about $20,000. This building would serve the parish until the construction of the present cathedral.
Father Wolf led this parish for thirty years until he retired in 1914 and Father A.W. Heimes took charge. The community was never more deeply touched than upon July 5, 1918, when Father Wolf passed away. The tribute to Father Wolf, with the record of his service to his people and this county was published in the paper.
A beautiful church is splendid evidence of faith, but that faith must be kept alive and progressive. A Catholic school was founded and on September 9, 1893, 120 children began instruction under the leadership of four Sisters of St. Joseph. By 1918, so many students attended St. Mary's School that the old school's capacity was exceeded and a new school was built in 1920.
On March 8, 1912, western Nebraska was made the Diocese of Kearney with the Most Rev. James A. Duffy as its first Bishop. However, on April 17, 1917, Pope Benedict XV added four additional counties to the diocese: Wheeler, Greeley, Howard and the part of Hall County north of the Platte River. Grand Island became the see city and the Bishop's residence was transferred in July of that year. With the headquarters of the diocese governing so much territory located here, Grand Island became an important center in Catholic affairs in Nebraska.
Because the old St. Mary's Church was deemed inadequate to serve as a cathedral, a new one would have to be built. Bishop James A. Duffy spent months in traveling to study building styles before deciding on Gothic architecture - noted for the pointed arch, the traceried window, buttresses, spires, pinnacles and internally, the ribbed-groined vault. Work was begun on the present cathedral church in 1926 and finished in 1928. Cardinal Patrick Hayes of New York City presided at the dedication ceremonies on July 5 in the same year.
Even with the new cathedral done, there were still problems of overcrowding. Though people laughed when it was first built and said that the cathedral would be too big, the numbers of families attending St. Mary's had grown to more than 800, while the capacity of the cathedral was 900 persons. In the spring of 1949, it was decided to form a new parish, Blessed Sacrament, on the north side of the city.
Considering the needs of the cathedral parish, two residences north of the school were purchased, giving the parish ownership of the entire block. In 1951, the present rectory was completed on the site of the former convent. The old rectory on First Street and the two residences to the east became the new convent. The present convent building was blessed by Bishop John. L. Paschang on September 3, 1967, the year that the diocese celebrated its 55th anniversary.
In the late 1950's, the cathedral was completely redecorated, retaining its beauty in its simplicity. Two copies of classic paintings of the Transfiguration and the Assumption of Mary were placed above the side altar alcoves, a new Bishop's throne was installed and wooden paneling was placed across the rear of the sanctuary.
In 1965, the old church, which had served as a gymnasium for St. Mary's School, was torn down and in 1973, St. Mary's School was closed in favor of Central Catholic High. In the same year, two new parishes were formed in Grand Island. St. Leo's was established in the southwest part of the city with former families from St. Mary's as the nucleus. Resurrection parish was established in the northwestern part of the city.
In 1976, a wheelchair ramp was constructed at the south side door of the cathefral and, due to the demise of the old furnace, new heating plants were installed in the cathedral and the school building. At that time central air conditioning was also added in the cathedral and the church was completely rewired.
A new honor was conferred on July 15, 1982, when the State Historic Preservation Office announced that St. Mary's Cathedral had been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It was placed there because of its architecture—it is a late Gothic Revival style modeled after the Parisian cathedral La Sainte Chapelle—and the parish's importance in the establishment of the community.
The idea of getting the building in the Register came from a member of the congregation in 1979. At that time, they asked the state to sponsor their application to the National Historical Society. A change of administration and new rules in 1980 put a wrinkle in the plan for a time, but it was eventually ironed out.
The cathedral underwent exterior and interior refurbishing in 1985-86. Roof repairs with new gutters and downspouts were made. In those same years, the interior of the cathedral was completely redecorated, new carpeting installed under the pews and the old confessionals were remodeled to provide for face-to-face confessions. Repairs were also made on the convent building. All was in anticipation of November 22, 1987, on which date the Diocese of Grand Island celebrated its 75th anniversary.
In August of 2001, the old St. Mary's School was torn down to make room for a new social hall. When built, the hall will have classrooms, dining halls and a kitchen. It stands where the old St. Mary's once stood. The City of Grand Island closed a block of West Division Street and granted it to the Cathedral for a parking lot. The Cathedral had not, per se, had a parking lot in the past.

Sibling rivalry has hit an all-time high in the Judd family: "Double Jeopardy" starlet Ashley Judd claimed that her sister, Wynonna Judd put a tracking device in her car this week.
A police report stated that the tracker was discovered in a plastic box inside the rear passenger side of the actress' silver Mini Cooper when she took it to a Tennessee repair shop earlier in November.
With competition heating up in the ballroom during week four of "Dancing with the Stars," Lisa Vanderpump and her professional partner Gleb Savchenko were eliminated from the show on Tuesday's (April 9) results show.
The "Real Housewives" star and boxer Victor Ortiz danced their way in to the bottom two slots on Monday evenings show, both scoring an 18 out of a possible 30 from the judges, but viewer votes couldn't save the exhausted Ms. Vanderpump for another week.
With the competition heating up in the ballroom, week four of "Dancing with the Stars" asked the celebrities to recall the best year of their life.
Before the dancing could get started, there was a noticeable absence during the introductions, as Lisa Vanderpump, who fainted during a practice on Thursday (April 4), sat out the intro to rest up for her performance.
After an unsuccessful prom night performance, Wynonna Judd was the second celebrity to exit the ballroom on "Dancing with the Stars."
On Tuesday night's (April 2) elimination episode, the final decision came down to Judd and her partner Tony Dovolani as well as Andy Dick and his pro Sharna Burgess.
Bringing back memories from their younger years, the celebrities pulled out their dancing shoes for a prom night episode of Monday's (April 1) "Dancing with the Stars."
Although Disney star Zendaya has been the leader two weeks in a row now, it looks like the third week was a charm for country songstress Kellie Pickler.
The pressure is starting to rise on "Dancing with the Stars" as the first celeb hung up their dancing shoes on season 16's first elimination.
Tuesday night's (March 26) episode proved to be one of many surprises as iconic figure skater Dorothy Hamill and her partner Tristan MacManus were the first to leave.
It may only be the second week of competition, but the celebs are already showing off their impressive moves for this season of "Dancing with the Stars."
On Monday night's (March 25) episode, Disney star Zendaya made it known that her previous dancing skills are working in the ballroom. The 16-year-old actress and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy performed a "fantastic" flapper jive earning them the top spot on the leaderboard for the second week in a row, with a score of 26.
Gathering up a brand new gaggle of celebrities, "Dancing with the Stars" kicked off it's sixteenth season on Monday night (March 18).

|My first batch of loquat butter, April 16, 2011.
I'm honored to be a member of the third class of MFP students since the program restarted in 2011. With any luck, I'll be a successful graduate of the program by June and I'll be able to help disseminate information about canning and other food preservation methods across Los Angeles County. (Just in time for the LA County Fair.)
Before starting the program, I was unaware the the MFP program is research-based, meaning that all the information we give to the public needs to be rooted in academic and scientific research. Although I don't always agree with the research-based government standards (mostly because I do things in the comfort of my own home that aren't considered "safe" by the US government), I'm comforted to have scientific information to guide my training. I certainly don't consider myself a "Master" of preserving, but I do like the idea of using information gathered by real experts in the field to help others learn about food preservation. After all, I don't want them to take MY word for it. Thanks to this program, we have a large knowledge base created by people who have devoted their entire careers to this stuff and we should all have access to it.
For those of you interested in food preservation, here are a few links for resources I've learned about in my class so far. The National Center for Home Food Preservation provides easy to understand information about basic food preservation methods. They also sell one of the textbooks we use in our class-- So Easy to Preserve. I've used this book to make marmalade and as a resource for my loquat butter recipe, which was pieced together from a number of different sources. The section on hot water bath canning is especially good.
Please write to me if you preserve food at home. I'd love to hear about your favorite recipes and greatest disasters. I will be reporting on my own experiments from time to time, hopefully with more successes than failures, but you never know. The best thing my FMP training has taught me so far is not be be afraid of failure. According to my wonderful teacher Chef Ernest Miller, it's unlikely that my failures will poison anyone. With this comforting bit of information, I will happily forge ahead.
Happy preserving!

Crumbliss Keys Win Over Missions
By Bob Hards / Midland RockHounds | June 21, 2013 5:33 AM ET
The RockHounds opened their first home stand of the Texas League's second half pennant race with a 15-21 record at Citibank Ballpark. One of the components of the under-500 mark has been an inability to come through with clutch hits with men on base. With one swing Thursday night, Conner Crumbliss did his best to remedy that situation, drilling a two-run double into the left field corner in the bottom of the eighth inning, scoring David Freitas and Darwin Perez. The clutch swing broke a 2-2 tie and gave the RockHounds a 4-2 win in the opener of a four-game series with the Missions.
Crumbliss, who finished 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run, walk and two RBI, also scored the game-tying run (2-2) in the fifth, leading off with a double and scoring on a double by Vinnie Catricala. Both clubs had scoring chances well beyond the 4-2 final, but the game stayed tied at 2-2 until Conner's double in the last of the eighth (on which, it should be noted, Perez absolutely flew around the bases, scoring from first).
While the RockHounds committed three errors in the game, good defense was also a major factor for both teams. San Antonio center fielder Rico Noel made a run-saving catch in the last of the first, an over-the-shoulder grab in deep center, robbing Catricala of extra bases. Vinnie returned the favor, making a terrific catch on line drive down the line at third off the bat of Adam Buschini with one on and one out in the ninth. Dusty Coleman also had a "Web Gem" caliber play, making a fully horizontal, diving catch on a flair to shallow right field with a runner at second and no outs in the fourth inning. Coleman not only robbed Rocky Gale of a hit with the midair grab, he then popped back up and threw behind base runner Everett Williams, doubling him off second base.
Kibbles & Bits
- Anthony Aliotti sat out for the third consecutive game due to a bruised right knee sustained when he fouled a ball off the knee in Monday night's game. He had played in each of the RockHounds' first 70 games (the entire first half of the season), collecting a remarkable 96 hits (entering Wednesday's games, no other Texas League hitter had more than 78) and leading the league (by 30+ points) with a .364 average.
- Jake Goebbert drove in the game's first run, his 55th RBI of the season and his 10th in the last five games. Jake entered the game having taken over the Texas League lead in RBI.
- The "prodigal Mission:" Mike De Mark, who pitched for San Antonio in 2009 and 2010, earned his third save of the year despite getting a tough break in the ninth inning. An apparent foul ball on a pop-up down the right field line was deemed fair, with Rocky Gale getting a double on the play to lead off the ninth. De Mark got Chris Bisson to ground out to first base, followed by Vinnie Catricala's run-saving catch on the laser to third. DeMark then struck out Rico Noel to end the game.
- The RockHounds are at home through Sunday, hosting the San Antonio Missions. Friday is Electronics Giveaway Night (sponsored by Best Buy) … Saturday features a post-game fireworks show (first pitch both evenings at seven o'clock) and Sunday is the final afternoon game until the season-ending Labor Day weekend (first pitch at 4:00).

Neat looking anyway!
Little tweaking and some fancy switcharoo work & you'll get them going!
This is a discussion on My $6 mags within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Well I recieved my 12 round mags yesterday, and as expected they are not top quality (what are really gonna get for $6 a piece) ...
Well I recieved my 12 round mags yesterday, and as expected they are not top quality (what are really gonna get for $6 a piece) But they look cool as heck.
Out of the box they sucked, wouldn't even allow a round to be chambered, it kept getting pushed out weird and would end up straight up and cause a stovepipe type situation.
The cure was.................................. I changed the followers and filed the lips down a little(they were very tight, you really had to work to get it loaded) and now they seem to function well. I haven't shot with them yet, but can't wait to try.
Neat looking anyway!
Little tweaking and some fancy switcharoo work & you'll get them going!
Hopefully that will get them fixed up for ya
Yes - the two critical aspects - feed lips and follower.
It is worth comparing the angle appearance of top round with that in a known good mag - and adjust/tweak feed lips to match. Sometimes some metal removal works but also very minor adjustments with needle pliers can do too - just changing the flair angle etc.
Follower - well, gotta be free as free so - no snags anywhere on its travels.
Glad you seem to have tweaked those OK Bruce - heck $6 is no great loss even if they fail! My cheapie $10 Eagle mags for the 226 needed some tweaks but - now run and allow me to save good mags from abuse at IDPA etc.
Glad too they came thru - as we had wondered about the reliability of the source!!

Chris, I did have to get after them with a pair of plyers, as the feed lips were "crimped" instead of nicely "rolled" like my quality mags. When I first ot them the top round sat so low you had a hard time pushing it out with your thumb, and it wouldn't feed any of the rounds into the chamber. Now the top round sits exactly the same as it does in my other mags and it goes in the pistol nicels and feed every one (by hand haven't shot it yet) and drops free without a problem. So for $12 and a hour wirth of tinkering i got some cool range mags.Originally Posted by P95Carry
I picked up 8 new $6 mags off e bay. Parked finish and no tweeking to get em to work flawlessly. Funn y think, they work better than the C. MCormick mags I picked up.
