So it looks more like a Fall pattern over the Northeast establishing through the coming weekend. Spotty showers later today wit ha cold pool aloft and short wave trof cross the state. Weak low pressure will deliver a brief soaking rain event to the entire state tomorrow before clearing on Friday. Early estimate looks to be 0.25" of rain for tomorrow! Maybe a little more!
Weekend changes obvious on the GFS and ECMWF for the weekend. The front progged to deliver rain and settled over the state seems to have a push to the South. Colder temperatures and dry weather now seems to be the setting for this weekend!

Identifying Common Nutrient Deficiencies in Medical Marijuana Plants

Throughout the career of any marijuana gardener, nutrient deficiencies are bound to pop up from time to time.
Deficiencies aren't always easy to diagnose and sometimes the reason for the deficiency is even harder to uncover. The following is a list of common deficiencies found in a marijuana garden, common symptoms, and a suggested treatment.
Plants deficient in nitrogen will display pale or yellowing leaves starting at the bottom of the plant and working their way up to the top of the plant. Treat plants with a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content. Foliar sprays of soluble fertilizers that contain high nitrogen can help relieve the deficiency faster.
Plants exhibit slow or stunted growth regardless of how optimal environmental conditions may be. Red stems and smaller than normal, dark green leaves are signs of a lack of phosphorus. Lower leaves yellow and eventually die. Feed with a blooming fertilizer that contains a heightened amount of phosphorus.
The most identifiable symptom of potassium deficiency are dead, brown spots forming on the lower leaves. Leaves may also yellow and die. Add soluble fertilizer with sufficient potassium or make a tea out of K-mag for foliar or drench application.
Lack of calcium will generally cause the medium to become acidic, which can cause a series of other problems (Mg or Fe becoming unavailable for absorption). Hollow stems found on harvested plants is a sign of inadequate calcium. Add a calcium supplement to fertilizer regiment and foliar feed with 1-2 tsp per quart of water with dolomite lime.
Sulfur deficiencies are usually displayed by yellow new growth. To help this deficiency, use 2-3 tsp of epson salt per gallon of water as a foliar or soil drench.
Plants without sufficient magnesium will exhibit yellowing leaves on the lower portion of the plant and in some cases will turn white. The veins of the leaves will remain green. Leaf blades can crisp and curl upward. Treat with 2-3 tsp of epson salts per gallon of water as a foliar or soil drench.
New, growing shoots appear burnt, brown, or grey. Can be treated with boric acid (1-2 tsp per gallon of water) as a foliar or soil drench.
Usually caused by pH imbalances, iron deficiencies turn leaves on shoots pale while veins remain dark green. Treat with soluble fertilizer containing iron
Plants that have white areas on leaf tips or intermittently between leaf veins are displaying a zinc deficiency. This is a common problem in soils that are or have become alkaline. Test pH first. If pH is in check, than a foliar spray with a soluble fertilizer containing zinc is the best option.
Plants with a molybdenum deficiency will display yellowing leaves in the middle of the plant. Foliar treatment with a soluble fertilizer containing molybdenum is the fastest solution to this problem.
Many times over-fertilization is misdiagnosed as a nutrient deficiency. If there is leaf burn starting at the tips of the leaves that works its way up the "saw blade" of the leaf it is probably due to over-fertilization. Leach the soil with a diluted fertilizer (1/4 strength) and wait until you see signs of recovery before increasing fertilizer strength. In hydroponics, change nutrient solution and replace with 1/4 or half strength. Slowly increase PPMs as the plants recover.

A Gorilla is one of the species of apes in the Planet of the Apes franchise. The Gorillas typically serve as Caesar's "muscle" in the Ape Army, as seen when Buck became his personal bodyguard. Caesar maximizes the Gorillas' skills by having them use their incredible brute strength and imposing size, which were both essential during the Ape Rebellion. Prior to the destruction of the Ape Village, the Gorillas, led by Luca, served as the village guardians. It is unknown if the Gorillas have the same intelligence as the rest of the apes, but they show signs of understanding what the other apes say and mean.

Great article about amazing research coming out of a joint effort between UBC and the UN. Oh how it rings true after everything I've been through in the past year and a half!
1) Money does NOT = happiness
2) Trust is a must
3) Longing to Belong
4) Generosity pays off
5) Freedom brings happiness
6) Reach out.
… read it! You know it's true. :)
Introducing.. a very best friend of mine, whose blog I am oh so happy to see! Beauty and grace incarnate.
Do you ever start out your day…showering…lost in thought (and lets be honest, trying hard to ignore the fact that it's time to get out of the shower and face the day) and think about all the things you want to say? The things you want to make right. The people you want to share secrets with….
"So you are here now,
Well then, a suggestion:
Sit, make yourself comfortable.
Forget about your world and your role.
When that first smile finds you, say
"Thank you," and move on. Remember,
fast is good, slow is better"."

Dysphagia 2014 Oct; 29(5):610-5
Authors: Marília Sampaio, Natalie Argolo, Ailton Melo, Ana Caline Nóbrega
Wet voice is a perceptual vocal quality that is commonly used as an indicator of penetration and/or aspiration in clinical swallowing assessments and bedside screening tests. Our aim was to describe the clinimetric characteristics of this clinical sign using various fluid materials and one solid food in the Parkinson's disease (PD) population. Consecutive PD individuals were submitted for simultaneous fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and voice recording. Speech therapists rated the presence or absence of wetness and other voice abnormalities. Two binary endpoints of FEES were selected for comparison with an index test: low penetration (LP) and low penetration and/or aspiration (LP/ASP). The accuracy of wet voice changed according to the testing material in PD patients. Overall, the specificity of this indicator was better than its sensitivity, and the wafer cookie and yogurt drink yielded the best indices. Our data show that wet voice is clearly indicative of LP or LP/ASP in PD patients in case of positive test. However, in the case of a negative result, the wet voice test should be repeated or combined with other clinical tests to include or exclude the risk of LP or LP/ASP.

The Kennedy Center's 16th annual ceremony for the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor will be an event full of jokes. The performing arts center announces that comediennes Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler are set to honor the award recipient, Carol Burnett, at the upcoming October 20 ceremony.
Singer Tony Bennett and veteran actress Julie Andrews are going to pay tribute to the legendary comic as well. They are joined by Martin Short, Rosemary Watson, Lucie Arnaz, Tim Conway, Rashida Jones and Vicki Lawrence in the star-studded line-up of celebrity guests.
Burnett will be celebrated at the annual ceremony, where she will receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. "I can't believe I'm getting a humor prize from the Kennedy Center. It's almost impossible to be funnier than the people in Washington," the 80-year-old actress/singer said of being chosen as this year's winner.
The celebratory gala will broadcast on November 24 as "Carol Burnett: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize" on PBS stations nationwide.

Best Fight: Tate vs Rousey
Worse Fight: Noons vs Thompson
Best Submission: Rousey
Best KO: Couture
Hey Dave,
I give this Strikeforce show a huge thumbs up! The entire build and finish to the Tate/Rousey fight was pure gold and absolutely satisfying. What these two women did for their fight was better than any Pro Wrestling or MMA fight all year and probably for the rest of the year. The finish and the post fight interview was just incredible and hopefully Dana is watching this fight. With the UFC hype machine behind her in a UFC woman's division I can definitely see her becoming a bigger star than she is currently.
David Penton
Tucson, AZ
Hey Dave, this is the first SF show Ive watched in a long time and it was all because of the main event.
Thumbs Up
Best fight: Rousey vs Tate
Worst fight: Noons vs Thompson
Souza vs Marunde-Very good one sided fight. I liked Souza's entrance and got me pumped for the fight which didnt disappoint. Really great action.
Sayers vs Smith, really great squash match with a highlight reel suplex.
Daley vs Misaki, good first round, fine second, and a bloody third round. Im glad Misaki got the decision.
Noons vs Thompson, this was gay porn, literally.
Main Event Rousey vs Tate, awesome action with great heat and grappling. Im glad the fight went as long as it did and Ronda didnt get the submission on the first try. I think its the best fight so far this year (were only 3 months in, but still) when you take in the build and that Ronda is the legitimate #1 Female Fighter in the world now.
I highly recommend watching the show if you didnt get to catch it tonight.

Instagram Photo of the Day Challenge 6/11By // June 11th, 2013
For today's photo challenge, we took a the question of the day right off our Ask.com homepage, "Which cartoon was used to sell the idea of income tax?"
Except on Instagram we were very nice and gave you the hint: It's a Disney character…
If you guessed Donald Duck, you were correct!
Earlier this year Huffington Post reported:
"In 1943, the Treasury Department turned to the Donald — in technicolor! — to help communicate the importance of the income tax to the American people, most of whom had never paid income tax before (only the wealthy paid income taxes pre-World War II).
Entitled "The New Spirit," in the video Donald Duck is brainwashed, er convinced, by the voice inside of a radio that it is his patriotic duty to pay an income tax."
Watch the video for yourself!

Instagram Photo Challenge of the Day 5/28/13By // May 28th, 2013
Today's photo challenge for Tech Tuesday we asked, "When was the first Apple Macintosh released?"
The answer is…1984! And it looked like this:
Steve Jobs had been working on the "Apple Lisa" in 1978, after a visit to the XEROX offices where he was convinced that the future of all computers would use a graphical user interface. In 1982 he was pushed off the project due to internal disputes, and he took over Jef Raskin's low-cost computer project, The Macintosh.
The debut was announced by the now famous dystopian George Orwell inspired commercial directed by Ridley Scott, which aired during the third quart of Super Bowl XVIII on January 22, 1984.
Retrospectively, it is considered a watershed for Apple's current success.
How many of you read this blog post on a modern day Mac?

Instagram Photo of the Day Challenge 5/23By // May 23rd, 2013
Since it's Throwback Thursday, we decided to take it WAY back today. Were you able to figure out who this US president was?
Garfield was the 20th president of the United States, with the second shortest term at only 200 days, March 4, 1881 - September 19, 1881. He was the second of four presidents to ever be assassinated.
Garfield served the Union during the Civil War, and entered politics shortly after as a Republican. During his political career Garfield advocated a bi-metal monetary system, agricultural technology, an educated electorate, and civil rights for African Americans.

Instagram Photo of the Day Challenge 5/9/13By // May 9th, 2013
Today's Throwback Thursday photo challenge of the day was sort of hard, but that's why it's called…a challenge!
We asked, "When was this picture taken?" And the hint we gave was that it was related to your laptop.
The answer is 1944. This is a picture of Colossus, the first electric digital computer that was all programmable. The Colossus computers were first used by British intelligence during WWII to decode encrypted telegraphic messages between the German High Command and their scattered European occupancy. Something tells us, this didn't come with a mouse and keyboard…

I love how in all of my Austrian identification, I used the same photo of me- where I look smug and like I'm trying not to laugh. Discount on mass transit card? Check. Austrian visa? Check.
Wow, ok. Damn girl.
So, to clarify: I realize that cheap flights (Christmas Eve flight! For a reasonable price) come with caveats- and in this case, that's (likely) no in flight entertainment, and a massive layover. I am flying into heathrow— never been, so not sure about security, but, I too am super paranoid about that whole area. Especially after I missed the flight from Budapest back to Dublin when I was living there- that scarred me pretty good.
My question was more… tips to survive it? The way to EWR, it's form 10 am to 6 pm, which isn't awful, and I could theoretically venture into London, though I'll have been traveling since midnight the night before and probably won't be into that drama, but the way back, well, it's 9 pm to 9 am. And I hear the aiport shuts down overnight. And I'm not sure I want to wander around London by myself at night. Cause sometimes I get scared. But yeah. That's my life.
Happy Thanksgiving, to those who celebrate, and especially to my fellow ex-pats. Thanksgiving has never been a holiday that resonated with me- it always rang a bit false, and had more than its share of bitter disapointments. So, sitting where I am, in the Alps, far from my family, and the majority of my friends, I don't feel as if I'm missing out something. Well, the traditional watching of horror movies, but that's about it.
Still, I've always liked this idea of giving thanks, and people don't do it nearly enough. It's too easy to assume that what you have, has always been there. So, in short, I am thankful for:
What about you?
joolsandnigel replied to your post: Guess who's going to Vienna?
UGH THE SCHENGEN. I feel your pain. Good luck!
Thanks love. It may be squared away, but won't know for sure until tomorrow. On a happier note, the best part of the trip was not the vegan restaurant I stopped in for lunch, but the fact that there was a BIG "Visit NJ!" post in the (American) waiting room of the US Consulate. Made my day.
Tonight. Last minute. To ask the US Embassy what the fuck, and how t quickly get a visa before mine under the Schengen runs out and I'm faced with seirous fines and being unable to leave the country and come back and all the drama, even though I've waited 8 weeks for my damn criminal background check. Ugh.
Needing some love, people. Letters appreciated. Plus, I'll send one back. Promise. You dig?
So i noted my tumblr was all filled up with harry potter stuff, and I was confused. by page 6 i realized that the movie must come out today.
that's nice i guess. enjoy.
personally, i thought the books were kind of shit but hey each his own

3 Consumer Stocks Yielding Over 4%
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It can be useful for income investors to see to it that their portfolio is diversified among different sectors of the economy. While it's easy to find high yielding stocks in some sectors (including utilities and telecoms), it can be more challenging to find, for example, consumer stocks which pay strong dividends and aren't unattractive due to some other factor. Using data from Fidelity, here are three consumer stocks with a market capitalization of at least $2 billion which currently pay dividend yields of more than 4%:
Some of the best examples of high yielding consumer stocks are cigarette companies, such as Altria (NYSE: MO). Altria has been making quarterly dividend payments of $0.44 per share for about a year, resulting in a 4.8% annual yield at current prices, and based on historical patterns, it might be expected to increase its dividend soon. In addition, the beta of 0.5 means that Altria has little exposure to the overall economy. Of course, cigarettes are hardly a growth industry, particularly in the more mature markets which Altria focuses on (the company was formed from the split of Philip Morris) and revenue has been in decline. However, at least in recent times Altria has been able to offset this with lower costs and excise taxes with the result being that net income was up about 10% last quarter compared to Q2 2012.
Insider Monkey tracks quarterly 13F filings from hundreds of hedge funds as part of our work developing investment strategies (for example, we have found that the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds earn an average excess return of 18 percentage points per year), and can see that Renaissance Technologies, founded by billionaire Jim Simons, owned 1.7 million shares of Altria as of the end of Q1 (find Renaissance's favorite stocks). Other high yield names in cigarettes include Lorillard and Reynolds American.
Two more high yield picks
Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI), whose brands include Red Lobster and Olive Garden, has seen its stock price go essentially nowhere over the last year as business conditions have been weak; the company's fiscal year ended in May, and while revenue rose 7% compared to the previous fiscal year, net income fell 13%. However, Darden has been increasing its dividend payments and now offers a yield of 4.4%. Billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel Investment Group increased its stake to 2.2 million shares between January and March (see Griffin's stock picks).
The spread of smartphone apps from Google and Apple ecosystems as a substitute for GPS devices has caused trouble for Garmin (NASDAQ: GRMN), though the company continues to generate a good deal of cash and its dividend yield is about 5%. However, investors have a right to be highly skeptical that the company will be able to sustain its current business in the future. Smartphone penetration is increasing worldwide and mapping and directions apps have the potential to offer more features, more frequent updates, and more interaction (for example, it should be easier for these apps to include commands for finding nearby gas stations or restaurants).
Garmin's most recent quarterly report showed sales declining 4% compared to the same period in the previous year, suggesting that at least for now, competition is having a negative effect, but not a particularly strong one. However, the business' costs have not changed by much and so, the 10-Q records a nearly 20% decrease in pre-tax income (with the earnings picture only looking better due to a lower effective tax rate). Even with its high yield, 11% of the float is held short as many market players are bearish. Wall Street analysts expect EPS to decline in 2014, resulting in a forward P/E of 15, and while the company does have $1.2 billion in cash, this doesn't help produce an attractive EV/EBITDA multiple.
These stocks have high yields, but income investors should be wary in most cases. Garmin looks expensive considering the competitive challenges it faces, and Darden also appears a bit dicey given the stock's recent financial performance. Altria seems to be a more dependable investment and so, income investors could certainly look at it and at the cigarette industry more generally.
Dividend stocks can make you rich. It's as simple as that. While they don't garner the notoriety of high-flying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of the only nine that fit the bill.

Heat waves, meteor showers, and trading volume: an analysis of volatility spillovers in the U.S. Treasury market
AbstractThe market for U.S. Treasury securities operates around-the-clock from the three main trading centers of Tokyo, London, and New York. We examine this market for volatility spillovers using the methodology employed by Engle, Ito, and Lin (1990) for the foreign exchange market. We find meteor showers in Tokyo and London but not New York; i.e., volatility spills over into Tokyo and London from the other trading centers, but not into New York. We also find that lagged trading volume significantly impacts U.S. Treasury yield volatility for the overseas trading centers, although it does not change the basic meteor shower findings.

It's been nearly a month since Calvin Harris announced via Instagram that his next single would be a pair-up with 2013′s British blue-eyed soul discovery John Newman called "Blame." And while we were hoping to have heard the song by now, the surprise Top 10 success of Harris' current single "Summer" likely caught everyone off guard. (This past week it moved up to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 — his highest American chart placing outside of Rihanna's "We Found Love.")
And so, to perhaps give "Summer" some room to grow, "Blame" now has a US release date of August 25 — i.e. toward the end of, um, summer. The single has been added to iTunes for pre-order, but if you think that's far off, at least you're not a Calvin Harris or John Newman fan in the UK, as they'll all have to wait until October 19 to purchase the track.
There's still no word yet on Calvin's upcoming fourth album as far as a release date, and let's of course not forget that last time around, his lead 18 Months single "Bounce" was released in June 2011, while the album didn't arrive until October 2012.
Happy waiting.

The Nashville Predators played their best game of the season in shutting out the Chicago Blackhawks 2-0 Thursday night at the Sommet Center. It was the first time this season that the Preds played one of their trademark games of solid defense, great goaltending, and just enough offense to come out on top.
Pekka Rinne was the games first star, stopping all 22 Chicago shots and winning for the second night in a row. He was helped by a swarming defense that cleared pucks from the Preds zone consistently all evening.
About his improved play Rinne said, "The last week or so, I've been feeling a little better. Every time you don't let in goals, it's going to build up your confidence. That's what I needed now. It's been a tough start for me, and for now things look a little better for me and the team."
Rinne also gave credit to the defense, "Whenever there was a loose puck, our D would jump on it right away and it was easier for me that way."
Pekka also commented on the fans, "Every time you jump on the ice here, you think about the fans. You play this game for the fans. It's our home and you want to win those games and keep those fans coming to the building and winning the games is a huge part of that."
Joel Ward provided all the offense that was needed when he redirected a Francis Bouillon shot at a 90 degree angle at 14:53 in the second period for a power play goal. It was Ward's first goal of the season and he seemed relieved after the game to finally get the proverbial monkey off his back.
Ward pointed to better team play in the last week.
"We are all coming together really good," Ward noted. "We never really doubted ourselves at all, we were just coming up short in a few games. We've been sticking together pretty good and with a little luck we've been sticking to the game plan and I think we will be alright."
Jerred Smithson added a short handed empty netter with four seconds left in the contest to seal the deal for the Predators.
Barry Trotz was pleased with the effort and noted the the Preds "had won three of the last four so we are making some strides." Further he said, :We are really pleased with this effort, last night we got in late after a tough game in Minney and there was a lot of fighting the dog today."
He pointed to keys to the game, "They really went to the net hard, they battled, had lots of chances."
The Predators had the majority of their 28 shots for the game on the power play with 18 coming on the man advantage. Trotz has emphasized needing more shots on the power play.
About his team's effort, he stated, "You can't get too fancy about pretty plays, you keep pounding pucks, making good solid decisions, going to the hard areas and scoring goals and that's how you have to do it."
A new injury appeared on Thursday with Mary Erat being a late scratch due to a "lower body injury" that was sustained in Minnesota. This is in addition to the ongoing injuries to Jason Arnott (upper body) and Jordin Tootoo (hip flexor).
Trotz further commented, "We've had a lot of injuries to key people. We've been sort of piecemealing it and we have a lot of adversity and are fighting through it."
The Preds return to the ice at the Sommet on Saturday for the third meeting of the month with Dallas. The Preds will have the opportunity to fight back to the .500 mark with a win over the Stars before heading to the West coast for a four-game road trip.

Total Portfolio Value
From 2012 to 2013, the total value of the 25 brands remained steady, with a slight decrease of 1 percent. This was mainly a result of the rise of brands in the intermediate sector of the table and the arrival of new entrants, which caused the top five brands to fall in value.
Top Five Concentration
The top five brands still represent the major slice of the portfolio value, with 67 percent of total share. The trend of reduction in this concentration continues, reinforced with the decrease in value of four out of five brand leaders, besides the rise in value of brands in the middle and bottom of the table.
Sector Overview
The Financial Services sector dominates the ranking, both in total number of brands (six) and in share of the brand value portfolio (51 percent). Apparel and Retail were the sectors with higher increases, with an average of 23 percent growth over 2012.

Our daughter got married a few days ago at Stone Manor. It was the most wonderful wedding. The bride, groom,wedding party and bride's parents stayed at Stone Manor both Friday and Saturday night. The Inn Keepers John and Debbie treated us like family.They couldn't do enough for all of us. The breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday was fantastic.
We booked my daughter's wedding over a year ago. We met with Brian who takes care of everything , and I mean everything. We just knew we would be in good hands.On the day of my daughter's wedding it was raining in the morning and there was a potential for rain during the ceremony.Brian managed to keep us all calm and had a plan B in place. Fortunately the rain held off and the ceremony went on as planned. I cannot imagine a more beautiful place for a wedding or more wonderful folks to help execute the wedding of your dreams. Thank you Brian, Laurie, John and Debbie.

Brian and Loree and the staff at Stone Manor go above and beyond! I never felt anxious because they handled everything. The whole process went smoothly and they also have great recommendations for vendors which we used. Everyone should be so lucky to have Brian and Loree run their wedding. I feel so grateful that my wedding day went so smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. It was truly a pleasure to work with them! - Maureen Ryan

I had both my wedding ceremony and reception at Stone Manor in June. It is such a beautiful venue! During the reception, we had a full dance floor and kids running around outside the tent. There is also no need for a day of coordinator, as Brian and Loree took care of everything and took a lot of the stress off of me. This venue is a standout among the venues in the Frederick area!

If Stone Manor is on your list of potential venues, you can stop searching you've found it. We were nothing but impressed with this venue from our very first visit. The location is beautiful and there are no shortage of spots for the perfect photo. Brian and Lori are great to work with, always just an email or phone call away. On the day of they left this bride completely at ease and they were amazing when we wanted to keep the party going just a little longer, helping our Dads talk to all of our vendors about staying just half and hour longer. We could not have imagined a better location for our wedding.

I absolutely loved Stone Manor the moment I walked around. Brian was great showing us around and was able to answer all our questions. I could not have been happier having picked Stone Manor. Brian and Loree were there to help along the way, they gave us great suggestions for other vendors, the ones we used were exceptional. I loved that they had the B&B, my husband and I rented out all the rooms for our family members an we carried on the party in the B&B after the main party ended. The Inn Keepers were so friendly and helpful and the breakfast they made for us was delicious. Overall our experience with everyone at Stone Manor was great! I would recommend it to anyone who wants a beautiful back drop for their wedding.

I have nothing but good things to say about Stone Manor! Brian was one of the main reasons we chose this location. He is AMAZING! Talk about a man who gets things done. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor setting and tent reception. Also due to it being a B&B you can do what we did and rent the whole place out for after the reception so the party can continue with close friends and family. With the help of my mother (the wedding planner) and Brian i had the best day of my life. Cheers to a happy Bride!

Stone Manor was absolutely the most perfect place for us to have our wedding. Compared to other venues with the same set-up and vibe, it was more cost efficient (we looked throughout Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland), and/or the grounds were better maintained. The house is great, and the staff are very pro-bride, making your day as seamless and stress-free as possible. Brian and Loree were fun to work with, as they run the day's events leading up to the ceremony. The gardens were gorgeous, as we got lucky that weather held out to have the ceremony outside. However, I felt confident in our back-up plan of using the tent. Overall, it was a great place to start our lives together.

My new wife and I were privileged to have a gorgeous and romantic December wedding at, perhaps, one of the most stunning venues in the nation!!! Stone Manor brings authentic, classic charm and modern opulence together, creating, for us and our guests, what was a stunning event!!! We heard, almost exclusively, from each guest, that ours was the most beautiful wedding they ever attended. It felt as if the pages of a treasured and classic novel came to life in the rich elegance of Stone Manor; and we were privileged to be married in that atmosphere. We owe these compliments to the good folks at Stone Manor. Everything, down to the huge and majestic suites, to the morning breakfast by the fireplace, Stone Manor is SECOND TO NONE!

We had our wedding on November 9, 2013 at Stone Manor. I would rate the experience at Stone Manor 6 out of 5 stars!!! The grounds were stunning, the manor house is gorgeous, and Brian Childs and the staff are outstanding. Everything was wonderful – perfect really! We could not have been happier!
We also used Carriage House Catering – the preferred vendor – again 6 out of 5 stars – the food and service was excellent and well-presented. We have received numerous compliments on how good the food tasted. Jeanne and the staff are experienced and professional and did a wonderful job.
Main Street Sweets – recommended by Carriage House Catering – perfect wedding cake and great mini desserts! Extremely easy to work with and a seamless delivery of a wonderful product - 6 out of 5 stars!

We honestly couldn't have selected a better wedding venue! We LOVED our wedding at Stone Manor and our guests continue to rave about the venue. We also stayed in the B&B as guests and had a wonderful time; breakfast was delicious.
The venue's aesthetics were perfect, inside and out. The property has a little of everything - vineyard, pond, barn, bridge, gravel road, mountains on the horizon. The gorgeous views are idyllic and serene. Inside, the house is perfect for photos as well, with mirrors creating many beautiful and unique shots, a sweeping staircase, fireplaces, lovely furniture, and clean, attractive facilities for guests. Stone Manor's owners, Brian and Lori, were patient and easy to work with and made us feel special and valued. The innkeepers (Lori's parents) are equally wonderful. We appreciated Stone Manor's flexibility in letting us bring family to view the property several times in advance of the event and Brian was a FANTASTIC day-of coordinator. Everything went perfectly; we were truly thrilled with the services provided by Stone Manor.
We visited a number of venues in MD before selecting Stone Manor. In addition to the factors listed above, we especially liked that Stone Manor was reasonably priced and also allowed us to supply our own alcohol. We saved a lot of money! Also, there were no prohibitions regarding candles and most other decorations; Stone Manor is a lot more flexible than other venues we visited. While there were some reasonable limitations, we could generally decorate and use the property as we liked.
The only negative comment I have is that you're virtually required to use their partner caterer, Carriage House. (That, or pay a $500 fee and loose access to the onsite kitchen.) While we genuinely loved the STAFF at Carriage House, we would have preferred the food offered by a few other caterers. Nonetheless, Carriage House offers a fine product at varying price points for clients. Good value, great staff!

We had our wedding on Oct 4, 2013 at Stone Manor. No amount of 'thank you' can explain how wonderful Stone Manor and the staff is. Brian was there at every step, guiding us for our event. Email questions were answered in a timely manner. The grounds was stunning! The manor house is gorgeous. Everything was wonderful. Could not have been happier! Thank you Stone Manor. Thank you.
Highly recommended. 6 out of 5 stars!!! :-)

Stone Manor was the first venue I toured back in February. Even covered in snow, I knew it would be foolish to look any further at any other venue. Brian immediately won over not only my husband and I, but my parents too. He addressed all of my concerns and immediately started working with us to make sure our wedding day would be flawless, and it was. Brian & Loree were quick to answer all my calls and emails. They think about literally EVERYTHING you need to have a smooth running wedding day. The correspondance with them was really one of the things I enjoyed most about Stone Manor. Brian & Loree made wedding planning as painless and effective as possible.
Rehersal was quick and easy! We went through a "dry run" for good outdoor worthy weather, and a "wet run" as a back up plan for rain. The Stone Manor staff is able to flip flop between set ups on the day of, just incase weather is bad. This was a HUGE piece of mind for me.
My husband and I were married Sept 22nd (a Sunday...this place books up fast!). They day was beautiful- 70s, sun, and big white clouds. The tent was beautiful. The house was beautiful. Our guests gave us so many compliments on the venue. Our ceremony was at 4:30pm, and reception started at 5:20.
I would highly recomend using Carriage House for your caterer if you chose Stone Manor. The two vendors work as a team effortlessly.
When you book Stone Manor, not only are you getting a beautiful ceremony spot, a gigantic reception tent, a bed and breakfast suite (if you choose to book a room for the night), and access to countless picture spots, but you get Brian as a great management source who's staff is really on top of things!
Our big day went flawlessly without a hitch. It was perfect. I would recommend Stone Manor to anyone looking for a great & picturesque wedding.

Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful ski destinations in the country. Nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, it attracts crowds in the winter to its numerous ski slopes. In the summer, a smaller -- but equally outdoorsy -- crowd comes for the hiking, fishing, and kayaking, all centered around the pristine Lake Tahoe. Read more

The see-and-be-seen California crowd may head to Aspen or Jackson Hole for their winter romp, but the laid-back, here-for-the-snow folks love Lake Tahoe's relaxed atmosphere. It doesn't hurt that Lake Tahoe is also significantly less expensive than those other ritzy ski towns; there are many budget-friendly lodging options, and even upscale restaurants do not serve ridiculously overpriced meals.

New Castlevania: Lords of Shadow info
Spanish magazine player is now in stores and with it some new info on Kojima and Mercury Steam's new Castlevania.
-Kojima's role is telling them what he thinks could be improved, not just about the gameplay, but also marketing, PR, graphics… it's not "You have to do this", but rather "I like it but this would make it even better". He's been in Madrid supervising development and his team has helped with facial and battle animations.
-The game is not like God of War or Devil May Cry, the team is trying to create a different, darker - more mature atmosphere. Expect a much deeper story involving a love story.
-Think of platforming like Uncharted 2, impossible jumps and an indiscriminate use of the whip to grab stuff and to go from one place to the other. Add to that a deep combat system and complex puzzles, that's what they are shooting for.
-Originally, the project was going to be a remake of the first Castlevania, but since Castlevania IV was already a remake, they went on to create a 3D version of this style of Castlevania whose core was action and platforming. Super Castlevania IV is their "Bible".
-Both primary and secondary weapons can be upgraded, there are also relics which grant new abilities to Gabriel (probably the usual stuff like Double Jump).
-Battle system is not about mashing buttons but about strategy, which has been taken into account when designing enemies and backgrounds.
-The game is 70-75% complete. Currently the game is playable from beginning to end. Now it's all about an immense amount of polish to graphics and gameplay.
-They want to create a living world which they feel is missing in other action games and it's a part of the Castlevania series. Gabriel is strong, but also has a softer side.
-Even though the higher ups loved their tech and the Castlevania demo Mercury Steam showed them, the project took some time to get started because they felt taking the series in a new direction wouldn't work. Which is why the game was first announced as "Lord of Shadows". When they demoed it again with Kojima in the room, he immediately wanted to support the project, and so it was finally green-lit.
-There will be no CG in Castlevania. Everything is done in-engine, including cinemas.
-It will be shown at E3, the masks from the teaser site play a big role in the game. Expect a huge blowout at E3.

A few suggestions..
After a long time of browsing through the forum, I finally decided to actually become a member, I know that everyone will obviously look at me like I'm new and I have no say in what should happen around here and I'd say you're right.
Now, being a moderator in the past for one of the most famous football (soccer) forums in the past, I have gotten to have a fair view of how message boards should look like, etc.
I think the main thing that has stopped from actually paying to be a Lifetime member, is the actual avatars and signatures. I feel that posters on this community go completely overboard with them. Which makes it look very, very messy. It's probably nothing for pretty much everyone but it really seems to annoy me a fair bit and makes it hard to actually go through posts sometimes. I look at it in a way where the signature should rarely be bigger than the post itself.
And really, there's a fair amount of people on here that do have a good idea when it comes to signatures and have a small one that adds flavor to their posts, but others are just ridiculous how long they are.
Here's a few examples I have found from this forum.
Here's another.
And now here's a few from the forum where I'm also a frequent user and the moderators are very strict on the actual Avatars and Signatures.
And another,
And I understand some people would be completely against this, but it's just a suggestion that could make this community a neater place, everything besides this is great.
Anyway, sorry for such a long post, and I hope to be a very frequent user on here from now onwards. (Y)
