Pilgrim Hall Museum wedding exhibit
PLYMOUTH — Pilgrim Hall Museum presents "Wedding 396: Four Centuries of Wedding Fashion in Plymouth 1621-2016" through Dec. 30.
The exhibit will explore the evolution of New England wedding styles over nearly four centuries, beginning with a re-imagining of the very first Plymouth Colony marriage in 1621. Just weeks after Mayflower passengers Edward Winslow and Susanna White lost their spouses to sickness during the colony's first difficult winter, they remarried to rebuild their families together. The bride did not wear white. "Wedding 396" looks at changing nuptial fashion before and after the rise of the white gown and questions assumptions about long-standing wedding traditions. The exhibit centers on a display of vintage and antique wedding gowns reflecting New England's diversity, with multimedia displays of real-life wedding images from the past 150 years.
"Wedding 396" traces other customs including the wearing of veils, tossing the bouquet, jumping the broom and the divinatory power of wedding cake. The wedding exhibition is made possible by the sponsorship of Eastern Bank and Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac, with additional support of Market Basket, Mirbeau Inn & Spa Pinehills and Pioppi's Package Store. For more information, contact Donna D. Curtin, executive director, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Shop, and raise money for Children's
A chance to see — and buy — jewelry designed by artist Douglas Rich was the reason 75 friends of The Children's Hospital gathered at Little Star Gallery in Golden last weekend; Neal Hutchinson and Rachel Joha were living examples of why each purchase would be money well-spent.
Owner Shelly Metz is donating 10 percent of all Douglas Rich sales, through Christmas, to The Children's Hospital.
Once critically ill, the former Children's Hospital Ambassadors are healthy today thanks in large part to the specialized care they received at Children's.

Do you know anything about these northern illyrian ancients and if their E marker is also southernAs usual, interesting post rich in content.
I will clarify my position, but there is a lot to work here and I may forget parts and comment extra parts later.
By "simplified meme" I refer to those who mention E-CTS1273 being Central/East Balkan shifted to imlply that this must mean it was Thracian, which is what Bulgarian commenters who comment about EV13 Bulgarian diversity tend to do.
I agree that it is most likely not a coastal lineage and that it probably was not a common lineage among Delmato-Pannonians as Katicic divides them in his onomastic system.
His onomastic system is very useful but does not necessarily tell us if there were different languages being spoken or different ethnicity.
I think delmato-pannonians and illyrians proper were both illyric languages, and one of my reasonings for this is Messapic colonization of Italy, in which we have both delmato-pannonian tribes (iapodes) and dardanian tribes (galabrioi) (which are Illyrian proper according to Katicic's onomastic system).
Differences in naming conventions can arise from different neighbouring influences, religious notions, etc. In Kosovo during the 80s-90s, Albanians took entirely different names (related to patriotic themes) from other Albanians on the other side of the border, as the Yugoslavian disintegration had a cultural effect. Yet Albanians on other side of the border spoke the exact same language.
So katicics name system is very useful, and is very indicivative at the very least of compact cultural zones/ or political zones of influence, and at the very most: different ethnicities that spoke different languages.
I think however, that even if delmato-pannonians were speaking different language to Illyrian's proper, then it was of the same branch, like bulgarian is to slovenian, etc.
Also, the grugni paper mentions both elevated J2b and EV13 in zones of Illyrian colonization, so until we have more higher resolution knowledge, its possible that E-CTS1273 clades were also present in the east-west adriatic movements.
With respect to the Thracian languages, they are either some proto-baltoidic shifted languages, or according to Hamp's late position, some southeastern Germanic branch languages. I personally think the baltoidic scenario is more probable, and for me R1a makes sense as a Thracian lineage, as culturally also they seem to have similarities with other IE R1a cultures. If EV13 was among thracians, as its probable that certain clades were, I am still of the opinion that they must have been culturally assimilated by R1a's.
The distribution of E-CTS1273 all over albanian speaking peoples, both Tosk & Gege to me makes sense more that it belonged to the "Illyrian-proper" complex, while J2b2-L283 and PH1246 which have a North-West distribution among Albanian people most likely belonged to the "Delmato-Pannonian" complex. As I said before, I think they spoke either the same language or a very close one, but they were part of a different geographic and cultural complex.
So when the inland contrast of E-CTS1273 is mentioned, it is done in this simplified manner to skip the "Illyrian-Proper" speakers and go straight from the coast to thracians, which I think doesn't hold up.
Linguistically, the Moesians were Thracians, while the Dardanians were Illyrians, I personally don't think there is a Dardanian-Moesian substrate.
Also with respect to the transportation of basal EV13 clades to the east, Balkan Mysians, Dardanians, and Brygians were in Troy around the Trojan war which is dated around 1300-1200 BC, and the archaeological culture shows movement of material around this time from western balkans and even hungary if I recall correct, so its possible even at this time or earlier, from when Dardanus himself founded the trojan lineage according to myths (probably just a legendary remnant of some dardanian migration to troy).
Likewise I think Zef Mirdita considered the Pirustae an Illyrian tribe and not a Delmatian one, he even wondered whether Romans had simply translated "Darda (pear)" into Latin. "Pirus" (pear). The Dardanian mines were renowned by Romans, and "metallici Dardanicae" or something along the lines of that was found even in Israel, so its not far fetched to assume a pre-Roman mining tradition that invading Romans then utilized. The Dardanian mines of Damastion were used around the time of King Bardylis for example.
all above from noricum ( east austria ) and friulian mountains
E-M123 north Tyrol ( west austria )
E-V12 trentino Italy
other markers where R1a, R1b, C, T1a1, T1a2, L1b-M317 , G-L497, I1, I2 etc etc
as per illyrians tribes ( red text ) below and before Halstatt culture, I am unsure where these E plotted

Google made Marissa Mayer rich and famous, and she clearly loved the place. But when it was time to go somewhere else for a better opportunity, Mayer did not stand on ceremony.
We've learned from a source familiar with the details of her dramatic hiring that Mayer only told her Google colleagues that she was headed out the door for the CEO job at Yahoo 30 minutes before the Yahoo board announced the news publicly on July 16.
So, if you live near Mountain View and you heard a strange sudden silence on July 16 at around 12:30 PM, now you know why.
Yahoo asked Mayer to delay telling her Google bosses until then because Yahoo was worried that Google would offer everything it could to keep her from going to such a high-profile job at a rival company.
We didn't reach out to Yahoo PR for this story, because our source is good and they would say what they always say: "We don't comment on rumours, speculation or internal matters."
The news that Mayer split Google so swiftly pretty much debunks a whispered narrative that has begun to spread across the industry.
In this gossipy telling of things, Mayer's move to Yahoo was all part of Google's plan—an orchestrated plot to put an ally in charge of a declining Silicon Valley rival so that Google, through cozy deals and favourable partnerships, might be able to suck the remaining juices out of Yahoo while there was still marrow to be had.
But that theory doesn't seem to stand up to evidence.
Besides the details of her hasty departure, consider Yahoo's new plans for its ad-tech business.
Earlier this summer, Google was set to buy the whole thing from Yahoo for a few hundred million dollars. Yahoo corporate development executives even pitched the deal to the board. One Yahoo executive told us that Google revenue boss Nikesh Arora made a pitch suggesting that Yahoo would be able to cut 2,000 jobs and grow its EBITDA 50% making the deal.
The deal, which would have been a huge win for Google, looked like it was going to happen.
But then the Yahoo board hired Mayer instead of interim CEO Ross Levinsohn. And then, last week, the whole ad-tech deal was scotched.
Mayer—who has brought Googley perks to Yahoo like free food and smartphones for all—may be actively trying to make the place she works for more like her old employer. But it's becoming pretty clear: She's no stooge for Google. She's no mole for Larry Page.
Here is what she has to do at Yahoo:

HP has confirmed that it will formally and finally hand over the Linux-based webOS mobile operating system to the open source developer community by Fall 2012, with a date in September having been openly discussed. Version 2.0 of Enyo, the webOS developer tool, will be packaged along with this offering and the technology will then sit under an Apache 2.0 license. These moves are likely to please developers with a penchant for the OS that was left out in the cold for a period after the company discontinued its TouchPad product, which had originally been a home for the technology.
When the intention to move to open source was initially announced last month, Meg Whitman HP's chief executive said, "WebOS is the only platform designed from the ground up to be mobile, cloud-connected, and scalable. By contributing to this innovation, HP unleashes the creativity of the open source community to advance a new generation of applications and devices."
Now with a confirmed date in our diaries, Sam Greenblatt, chief technology officer for the open webOS project, has gone on the record saying, "We're taking the next step on this journey by releasing Enyo, our JavaScript app framework, under open source licensing, allowing developers to distribute their Enyo-based webOS apps across other platforms."
HP is promising a direct, well-planned roadmap to give developers some stability, and the initial release will indeed feature Enyo 1.0, which should allow current developers of Enyo apps for webOS devices to distribute their apps to other platforms. Going further, Greenblatt explained that the new release includes the core of Enyo 2.0, which will be the foundation for Enyo going forward.
"It expands Enyo's 'write once, run anywhere' capability to even more platforms, from mobile devices to desktop web browsers. It works on many of the most popular web browsers, including Chrome, IE 9, Firefox, and Safari," he said.
According to developer notes on enyojs.com, HP also said that, "We wanted to open-source Enyo as soon as possible, but in a way that reflected our vision for Enyo as a truly cross-platform framework. With this goal in mind, we decided to cleanly separate the core bits of Enyo into a cross-platform package and release that first, then follow up quickly with an updated UI toolkit and additional features over the next few months."
HP has also confirmed that further webOS releases would include a distribution of WebKit with support for HTML5, Silverlight, and Flash via the use of plugins. The company has justified the "partial release" of Enyo 2.0 in this way because it wanted to "clean up an earlier version", rather than making the decision to simply add new features. HP also said that it "reflects an urgency" to get the code into developers' hands.

Men using sledgehammers on a Maserati car outside the Qingdao International Convention Center in Qingdao, Shandong province, on May 14, 2013.
AFP - Getty Images
A wealthy Chinese Maserati owner hired four sledgehammer-wielding men to smash up his $420,000 supercar in protest at poor customer service, Agence France-Presse reports.
The owner staged the dramatic intervention outside a convention center in Qingdao where a major auto show was being held. Local newspapers reported that his dispute with a Maserati dealership began when he took the car in for repairs and was charged for a new spare part even though a used part had been fitted.
In 2011, the city saw a similar stunt when the owner of a Lamborghini ordered the destruction of his vehicle after a service failed to get it running smoothly.

Synolutions necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 391 diseños de 75 diseñadores freelance.
Synolutions (tagline: 'Verbonden door Kwaliteit', Dutch for 'Joined by Quality')
Synolutions is a new Dutch company that delivers high quality custom made IT solutions. Synolutions delivers by joining the qualities of the finest freelance professionals in various areas, like IT Professionals, Project Managers and Business Consultants. All with their main focus targetted at customers.
For exposure, Synolutions needs a crisp modern logo to start, followed by a website, business cards and other products to support exposure.
The name Synolutions is obviously a contraction of the words 'Synergy' and 'Solutions'.
Our target market consists of small to midsized companies who require custom made software to support them in their business processes.
Within those companies, our primary contacts will probably be the CEO/CTO or any other managing employee responsible for IT decisions. To attract them, we need to express quality, reliability and professionalism in every possible way.
The logo has to express the following:
- Reliability
- Quality
- Professionalism
- Modernism
Though Synolutions is an IT company, the technical aspect does not specifically need to be expressed.
The name of the company 'Synolutions' must be in the logo, but physically disconnected from a graphical symbol. This symbol can be abstract; it does not need to represent anything, as long it raises only positive associations.
The logo must be usable with and without the company name. Same for the tagline "Verbonden door Kwaliteit", the tagline is optional in the logo.
- Express business, a professional modern style (like sans serif font for the name).
- 2 to 4 (preferred 3) colors in the graphical symbol. Use of gradient colors is encouraged, but only per color (for example, no gradient blue to green, only light to dark)
- Name 'Synolutions' may be expressed in 2 different or shades (split into 'Syno' and 'lutions').
- Choose colors wisely; not too bright, but also not too fade. We know, it's a matter of taste.
- The logo must be usable on a white and dark background, for example, by switching one of the dark colors in the logo with the white background.
Though we are really Dutch, we don't feel comfortable with the color Orange in the logo. However, don't let that hamper your creativity.

Liberty News
UPDATE: Team Liberty dominates Virginia 10 Miler corporate challenge
UPDATE: Team Liberty was dominant in the corporate challenge of the 39th annual Genworth 10 and 4 Miler, finishing first in four of the six categories.
In the mixed challenge (the best times for five male and five female runners), Liberty won first place in both the 10 Miler and the 4 Miler. The men's and women's challenges average the best times for the top five finishers.
Liberty's ladies left their mark, winning both the 10 and 4 Miler corporate challenge, with an average time of 1:21:38, and 34:52.3, respectively. Candice Williams led the way in the 10, finishing with a time of 1:20:40. Sarah Funderburke finished with a time of 30:48.3 in the 4, first in her age group.
For the men, Team Liberty finished second in the 10 Miler corporate challenge, behind Stuart Burgess' 1:06:40 finish. The team averaged a time of 1:08:38. Mark Hopely took third place overall in the 4 Miler, finishing at 20:44.7, leading Team Liberty's 29:38.0 average, good for fifth place.
Liberty University continues to take an active role in promoting health and wellness in the community, spurring employees to take on the 100 Mile Challenge and participate in the 39th annual Genworth Virginia 10 Miler and 4 Miler races on Saturday, Sept. 29 near downtown Lynchburg. Liberty was a corporate sponsor for the event and for the Amazing Mile, a children's race, which kicked off the 10 Miler festivities on Sept. 28.
The Virginia 10 Miler is one of the oldest 10-mile races in the country and draws runners from all over the world. This year, more than 4,250 registered to participate in the racing festival. Liberty had more than 100 employees participate in the challenge and then run in either the 10 or 4 Miler. Liberty also provided more than 100 volunteers for the events and Josh Yeoman, associate director for Student Activities, was the assitant race director for the 10 Miler.
In Saturday's 4 Miler, Mark Hopely ('11), an admissions evaluator with Liberty University Online, finished third overall. Beth Frackleton, head coach of the Flames triathlon team, took first place in the 4 Miler for the Women's Grand Master division.
In the 10 Miler, a group of 10 elite runners (five male, five female) from Team Liberty competed in the corporate challenge, pitting their combined times against those of teams from other local businesses. Results of the corporate challenge will be announced Monday.
On Friday, Liberty's Director of Athletics Jeff Barber took a team of athletes, cheerleaders, and Sparky, Liberty's mascot, to Amazement Square Children's Museum in downtown Lynchburg to participate in the festivities before the children's run. Sparky and crew posed for photos with children and took to the streets, spreading Flames spirit and promoting healthy living within the community.
"The university joined forces with them this year to be a title sponsor; it is one of the ways Liberty can give back to the community," Barber said. "I think it is important because we are a big part of the city. We believe we need to reach out and help other people and do what we can. We are here to show our support of Lynchburg and this whole event."
Before the horn sounded for the Amazing Mile, Barber shared a few words with the crowds on behalf of Liberty. He then laced up his running shoes and joined the children in running the race.
The 100 Mile Challenge is a citywide effort to promote healthy living. Participants were encouraged to log 100 miles — walking or running — between July 1 and Sept. 30. Liberty is currently in third place among the more than 90 companies and organizations participating, with more than 12,000 miles total. (Read more and watch the preview video on Liberty's YouTube channel.)
