"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"My fiancé and I love this product. We had to swap out a photo, and the communication with WPD was easy! There were other places that would print our save-the-date postcards at a lower cost, but we were so pleased with the quality of the cards that it was worth the little bit of extra funding!"
"This was delivered quickly with the highest quality paper! The design was fantastic and was exactly what we wanted. This simple yet classy save the date is sure to impress our guest."
"Our Save the Date postcards were exactly what we had in mind! Wedding Paper Divas did a phenomenal job helping us tailor our design to what we wanted! Specifically, helping adjust fonts and format to ensure a clean aesthetic appeal. They were attentive and worked quickly! The quality is fantastic! We're so happy we went with Wedding Paper Divas!"
"Hey! This was an awesome way to tell our friends and loved ones about our special day. Wedding Paper Divas has some truly beautiful designs and options, though we decided to make our own and use one of the simple and chic postcard layouts. The site is so intuitive and the product high quality! The proofing process I thought would be a hassle, especially since I had made a mistake in the design, but it proved to be swift. I felt cared for and really enjoyed the process. Thank you for your attention to detail, great design sense, and making me feel like a real diva. ;)"

Pena's passion for game rubs off on DR players
SAN FRANCISCO -- Much has been made during the World Baseball Classic of the celebrative ways of the Caribbean teams. If you wear the uniform of the Dominican Republic and Tony Pena is your manager, you're going to play with passion and have a good time. He insists on it.
"When you love what you're doing, you don't work," Pena said before Monday night's semifinal showdown with the Netherlands. "I'm not working. This is what I Iove. This is my passion.
"I don't have to work. This is my hobby, why I have so much fun every day. This is what I want from everybody around me. I am having fun. I want my players to have fun."
Robinson Cano, Pena's biggest star on a star-laden team, senses the meaning of it all.
"I'm a player, he's a coach," Cano said. "So it's a different point of view of the game. But we both have the same mission. It's big for us. You don't have tomorrow here, so you have to go out there and win it all.
"You have 10 million people in the Dominican Republic, but what about the rest of the world [of] Dominicans that are watching the game? This is for your country, that teaches you how to play the game.
"It's a chance that you're going to have every four years. It's not that you say, `OK, we [can] get it next year. You don't know if you're going to be here again. That's something that we want for our country."

Yesterday was a really great day. I went to church, made brunch, did some work, and headed out to Torrid's 10th birthday bash with my girlie Ivory (check out her blog here). This is the outfit I wore earlier in the day. I didn't know what to wear in the morning, so I searched all the way in the back of my closet for this blazer from Lane Bryant. I wore my new Levis Curve ID jeans with these BCBG platforms I got at Ross on sale! It was my first time wearing them, so I still have some breaking in to do. My jewelery is from Avenue and Reah's yard sale. I picked up the sunglasses at Forever 21 in Chicago, love them! I'll post pics from the Torrid birthday bash tomorrow!

The Massachusetts Bar Association Lawyers Eco-Challenge has
joined Carbonrally, an online community where teams
complete challenges that result in a reduction of carbon dioxide
emissions. The MBA urges lawyers and firms across Massachusetts to
join the Eco-Challenge team as a way to invigorate energy
"CarbonRally is a fun, easy way for Massachusetts attorneys to
keep track of the ways they are reducing their energy consumption,"
said Nancy B. Reiner, co-chair of the Energy and Environment Task
Force, which oversees the Eco-Challenge.
"From agreeing to cut back on office paper use, to committing to
utilize reusable bottles and containers, lawyers can choose the
level of participation that makes the most sense for their
situation," said Reiner, executive director of Counsel on Call in
Carbonrally, created in Massachusetts, proposes challenges for its
teams to participate in, and enables individuals to suggest
new challenges. Working on an honor system, the site tallies
each teams' total reduction in carbon dioxide emissions based on
the challenges each agree to participate in and complete.
"By joining our team, lawyers can choose challenges that abide by
the tenants of the MBA Lawyers Eco-Challenge and its Green
Guidelines," Susan Reid, senior attorney and director of the
Massachusetts Clean Energy and Climate Change Initiative for the
Conservation Law Foundation, which partnered with the MBA in 2007
to launch the Lawyers Eco-Challenge. "We hope that by joining our
team the legal community in Massachusetts will be energized to
consider new ways of being Earth conscious."
There are currently more than 1,000 Carbonrally teams worldwide
encompassing dozens of companies including Boston University,
Intel, Google and NBC.

It's quite basic, I bought it only because it was on sale, and my old protective cover had lost a corner last time I dropped my phone. This new cover is sleek, very nice looking, thin enough to not get in the way, sturdy enough to not break when dropped (about a dozen times to date) and it is the perfect rubber/plastic combination so that it does not stick as you are putting it in your pocket like rubber covers, yet has just enough grip so it does not fall off the dash if I turn a corner in my car. I only gave it a 4 out of five for no other reason then It's nothing out-of-the-ordinary look. But functionality is Excellent.Read More
I've had this case for a while now and have dropped my phone several times w/o any damage to the phone. It's attractive and easy to wipe clean. The case has remained unscathed as well.Read More

Same old story for the NY Rangers. Keep it close for 55 minutes, and then turn it on. That scenario didn't bode well for our boys: On the road against a superior team that has been shut out two games in a row. I wasn't betting on tonight being the end of the skid. . .
1. I thought the Rangers got off to a great start. They were aggressive on the forecheck, and were winning all the races to the puck. But there was no real Ranger threat to score. The shots on goal were all easy saves that let a struggling goalie get comfortable in net.
2. The NHL would like you to believe that there are only two players in the NHL, but this Datsyuk guy is pretty amazing. He is shifty, quick, and a damned smart player. He embarrassed Boyle on the first goal of the game. You will find a lot of Datsyuk's work on YouTube if you are interested. Don't worry Brian, he embarrasses a lot of people.
3. Despite being on the ice for the first two Detroit goals, I really like the Sauer-McDonagh defensive pair. Torts is true to his word when he says we will live and die by these young kids. Sauer is solid, and McDonagh made a great play one-on-one against Datsyuk early in the third. MacD has good speed and balance. He recovers quickly. What impresses me the most is his anticipation, and his ability to play defense at both blue lines. I think the Rangers have two studs in Sauer and McDonagh.
4. The Ranger power play is a disaster. I have said many times that Torts should just roll the regular lines and defense through the power play. No forwards at the point. If I were coach, Staal and Girardi would be my top two choices of point men anyway. Then, roll Gilroy and MDZ. I thought Staal looked better than anyone else Torts has put back there this season.
5. If watching the Rangers lose another close game isn't frustrating enough, watching it on Versus is enough to make you want to shoot your TV. I thought they cleaned house over there? Edzo?!? Maguire talking to Girardi on the ice? Only thing worse than that was that dopey Girardi talking back to him. Shut up and focus on the game Dan. Ugh!!!
6. Gaborik. Yuck. I don't know what is going on with this guy, but I am now starting to worry. I have said before that his shots lack that explosion they had before his shoulder injury. He had one really good shot in the third period. That was it. If we could somehow turn Erik Christensen's rotting corpse into Pavol Demitra. …
7. Michael Del Zotto looked like he was getting some of his mojo back tonight. Nothing spectacular, but he made a few subtle plays in his own zone that will endear him to his coach.
8. On Dubinsky's goal, it appeared that Avery was given a lot of room to shoot, yet he still passed to Dubi. If Dubi doesn't score there, could you imagine what Torts would do to Avery's icetime?!? With that said, I thought Avery was the best Ranger on the ice. He battled and drew two key penalties at the end of the third period. He also skated hard to the front of the net on Dubi's goal.
9. The Rangers are still blocking shots, but who the hell taught them how to do it?!? Cally and Girardi turned their sides to the shooter exposing their unpadded areas. The only Ranger that I have seen block a shot properly is Vinny Prospal.
10. 47 shots on goal. Outside of Dubinsky's were any of them that impressive?
11. That Don van Massenhoven was the referee, and Detroit was called for twice as many penalties as the Rangers, makes me believe . . .that Don van Massenhoven knows how lousy the Ranger power play is. It is his cruel way to screw the Rangers yet again.
12. The team is fun to watch, and certainly has a core of good young players, but where is the chemistry? And even more concerning, is where is the leadership?
13. Enjoy your vacation Carp. Thanks for the keys to the blog.

56 — By Capt. Bill Pike — December 2002
Whipped Cream
|Part 2: I was able to walk upright throughout all three staterooms.
Another aspect of the 56's design that's worth mentioning is the headroom. Compliments of a full-bodied hull, di Simoni was able to lower the boat's internal substructure, cabin sole and all. Such a move boosts headroom at the lower station for sure, but it also cranks up headroom in lots of other places, especially on the lower deck. More to the point, I was able to walk upright throughout all three staterooms: the full-beam master aft, the VIP forward, and, believe it or not, the twin-berth guest stateroom on the starboard side. No stooping in the heads, either!
Which brings up one final virtue of the 56's design--the liveaboard sensibleness of its interior layout. Let me give you just one example. Both the master and the VIP have en suite heads for after-hours privacy. Great? Heck yes, but what's especially groovy and somewhat unusual about the setup is this: With the doors of both these staterooms closed, as they normally will be at night, the guest stateroom automatically picks up a private head of its own, sort of. All you have to do is toodle on down the hall.
But the 56 isn't only about design. The sea trial in Biscayne Bay went well enough. Both upper and lower helm stations were outfitted with top-of-the-line electronics and offered excellent sightlines in virtually all directions. Tracking was also excellent, and turns were fairly broad, which is typical of straight-shot inboards. Performance was off, however, most likely due to a prop-pitching problem. I recorded an average top speed of 33.4 mph at 2210 rpm, almost 100 rpm less than our twin 800-hp Caterpillar 3406Es are rated to turn. What's more, total fuel burn was 75.6 gph at WOT, down something like 5 gph from the two-engine total I would expect, based on Caterpillar's published fuel curves.
As we returned to the marina, Aicon's stateside rep Marc-Udo Broich pointed a finger towards the Raymarine radar scanner behind us on the flying bridge--it was installed on a tall, welded-aluminum pedestal atop the radar arch. He'd taken a story I'd written some years ago to heart, he said, convincing Aicon to mount its radar scanners well above head level on the flying bridge, thus obviating electromagnetic-radiation-associated health risks.
Once we'd gotten the 56 tied up in her slip, Broich and I entered the engine room through a hatch in the cockpit. While we had to stoop slightly due to the five-foot headroom, I was impressed with several details. For starters, I liked that there were two engine-driven emergency bilge pumps, not just one (or even none), in addition to the conventional electric Jabsco. I was also gratified to see a set of duplex Separ fuel filters on the forward firewall--duplex filters mean safety, convenience, and redundancy as well. And finally, I was delighted by the fact that the six AGM 8D batteries--two engine crankers and four house-types--were divided into two separate banks, one in a watertight compartment abaft the rear collision bulkhead, and the other in the engine room itself. This greatly improves the odds on having a working battery--and more importantly, a working VHF--in a flooding or other emergency.
Construction details were equally reassuring. Not only are stringers and transversals made of foam-cored FRP, but interior decks and bulkheads are made of foam-cored FRP panels bonded in place--there's virtually no plywood in the 56. Another element that promotes solidity and strength: a hull-to-deck joint that's secured with Sikaflex 292 polyurethane adhesive and stainless steel bolts on five-inch centers and four thoroughly hull-bonded bulkheads, two of the watertight collision-type, one fore, the other aft.
While I was favorably impressed thus far, my take on our test boat's joinery was mixed. On the one hand, a lot of what I saw was fine, even nicely done. But lapses in quality cropped up here and there, often strangely juxtaposed with artisanal-grade work. The cherry trim pieces around the door to the day head--the one that also serves the twin stateroom--were typical. While I could see they'd been finished and varnished with great care, they were nevertheless sloppily fitted, sloppily fastened, and horror of horrors, butt-joined, not mitered. When I asked Broich about this, he explained that our test boat was the first to be imported from Sicily, and her completion had been "rushed."
Overall, I liked the Aicon 56. She's a very pretty, easy-to-handle motoryacht and an eminently practical one, thanks to the sleight of hand di Simoni melded into the design. Plus a long list of mainstream standards are included in the base price.
"I'm excited about this boat," an enthused Broich said at the end of our day together.
And well he should be.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The economy is not doing well. Unemployment is too high and big deficits threaten the credit worthiness of the federal government. Only genuine tax reform will make things right.With 46% of Americans paying no income taxes and many more who pay very little, it is no wonder federal spending is at record levels. It's simply too easy to vote for politicians who promise free health-care services and other worthy benefits by raising taxes on someone else -- the wealthy. Taxing the well off is not free. It slows growth, smothers jobs creation and pushes down wages for the middle class and working poor. Much of the U.S. economy is not large multinationals but are innovative startups, the local restaurant and other small business services that are mostly organized as limited liability corporations and pay the highest personal tax rates. For those jobs creators the combination of federal, state and local taxes often increases the bite on income to well above 50%. The impact is large and negative. During the Obama years, unemployment peaked at 10% and the economy has since grown at a 2.1% pace.
Over the comparable Reagan years, when taxes, especially on the well-off were lower but more voters paid at least some income taxes, unemployment peaked at 10.8% -- but the economy grew at 5.3%. Simply, with lower taxes on the wealthy and more voters with skin in the game, the federal government did less and the economy did better -- many more jobs were created and workers had more power to bargain for decent wages than they do now. The highest marginal federal tax bracket is about 40%, but with so few Americans paying significant taxes the average income tax rate is about 12%. To exercise some restraint on federal spending, why not require everyone to pay at least 6% of their income in taxes and set the maximum rate of 18%? That's about what Barack and Michelle Obama paid on their 2012 income. Folks in the middle would pay something in between so that the average take is still 12% of income.

Although the La Grange Food Market has been successful in the few short weeks it's been open on West Jefferson Street, the store's owners can't wait for it to serve warm food early next year.
Yudwinder Singh and his brother-in-law Moe Signh, of Seattle, own the all-purpose convenient store that also has a beer cooler.
"Our favorite part is meeting the new people," Yudwinder Singh said.
A local restaurant is asking for a little help with its annual Christmastime clothes drive.
Steve-O's Italian Restaurant has been the host of the MacKindsey's Mitten Tree for the past several years, collecting hats, gloves, scarves and more before donating them to the Red Cross to give to Oldham County children in need.
But Steve Tingle, the owner of the restaurant, said donations are down from years past, although he's not sure why.
The spotlight will soon shine on 10 of Prospect's finest 'stars' when the Chamber of Commerce hosts a night of dancing and charity.
In its second year, Dancing with the Prospect Stars will follow a successful inaugural year with even more dancers and fundraising.
"It's a lot of fun," Kathy Jacobs, executive director of the Prospect Area Chamber of Commerce (PACC) said. "It's a very intimate, fun, friendly social event."
La Grange's newest attraction opened its doors to the public last week in an attempt to attract new events to CityPlace.
The event center, located on First Street, is made up of two pavilions and the visitor's center, which also houses the Oldham County Chamber and Economic Development offices.
The Rawlings Foundation, which owns CityPlace, held an open house last Thursday to help local and regional companies and organizations see the pavilions staged in various ways to host events.
After launching chemotherapy services in early 2014, Baptist Health La Grange recently completed an expansion of space occupied by the physicians and staff of the CBC Group: Consulting in Blood Disorders and Cancer, a part of Baptist Medical Associates.
The Center, located on the second floor of the Physician Office Building at Baptist Health La Grange, was renovated with patient comfort and staff convenience in mind.
A proposed countywide alcohol vote will be pushed back until the end of June, proponents of overturning the ban on alcohol sales, said.
Scott Whitehouse, the chair of a committee stemming from the Oldham County Chamber and Economic Development organization, said conflicts with Oldham County Schools and poll workers is the reason for pushing back the vote from its original March date.
Pageantry and reality television have gone hand-in-hand in the last decade with hit shows like "Pageant Place," "Toddlers and Tiaras" and "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."
One such star in the pageant and reality worlds moved from TV to real life with an appearance in La Grange this weekend.
Johnathan Kayne, a contestant on Project Runway and successful pageant dress designer, was the guest of honor at last weekend's pageant workshop hosted by Posh Formal Wear.
More than $16,000 will be given out this week to help 11 organizations with various community needs.
The funds come from the Oldham County Community Foundation, an offshoot of the Louisville-based Community Foundation. Precisely $16,150 will be given to fund projects from yoga therapy for cancer patients, a toddler education room, pre-diabetes screening and much more.
Scott Whitehouse, a board member with OCCF, said the amount of funds given out this year is a 34 percent increase over 2013 giving.

HOUSTON - The current wife and former mistress of a man accused of killing his pregnant wife took the stand in his defense Tuesday, about two weeks after she was a witness for the prosecution, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Prosecutor Kelly Siegler slammed a stack of hundreds of flirtatious e-mails in front of Heather Scott Temple.
She sent the e-mails to married men she worked with at Alief Hastings's ninth grade campus, including defendant David Temple.
Siegler got Scott Temple to admit on the stand that Temple family members, who loved Belinda Temple, did not accept Scott Temple until many months into the relationship.
Siegler got into a 10-minute heated exchange with defense attorney Dick DeGuerin. The judge ended up sending the jury on a break after DeGuerin repeatedly requested a mistrial, which was denied.
David Temple, 39, was charged with murder in 2004 in connection with the killing of his wife, Belinda Temple, 30. She was eight months pregnant when she was shot in a bedroom closet in her home in the 22500 block of Round Valley Drive on Jan. 11, 1999.
David Temple and Heather Scott were married a few years after Belinda Temple's death.
Scott Temple was called as a prosecution witness on Oct. 25. She admitted she had a sexual affair with David Temple while he was married. David Temple spent New Year's with her while he had told Belinda Temple he was on a hunting trip.
DeGuerin was visibly angered when he called Scott Temple's former roommate as a witness and learned she was not there. She was unable to get a baby sitter for her child.
It is not known if David Temple will take the stand in his own defense.
If convicted of murder, David Temple could face from five years to 99 years in prison.

Hello everyone.
I started playing FFXI the week it came out in North America on PS2 and played for about a year straight then quit. But now myself and a few of my buddies are back and are wondering where to roll new toons.
We originally rolled on our old server ( Kujata ) only to find that it is practically dead at the lower levels (1-20).
eg. I've sat in the Dunes for the past 4 days surveying the amount of people coming, the most I have seen are 12 people, half of whom were level 75's...
I know that when I used to play there were at least 70 people in the dunes all the time! I guess this is because it is one of the original servers and all the action is going on at end game now.
I'm wondering what the population on this server is like, if there is a good number of people at the low levels, any info on what the population is like would be greatly appreciated!
Me and my friends are looking for a younger server, with a abundance of low lever players in a good, friendly enviroment.
Thank you !! ^_^

It's more than just alliteration; it's a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. A hard thing to disagree with, we know. Drink up, get down and go to sleep happy.
Crazy fun names are always harbingers of crazy awesome cocktails, and Alie and Georgia's Beer-ly Legal Cocktail proves the rule. Brought to life with fresh tangerine juice and orange aperitif, the cocktail gets topped off with a splash of light beer. Get the recipe and watch them find their inspiration for the libation in the humble hotdog (which also gives rise to several wiener jokes.)
Bottoms up, folks.
Beer-ly Legal Cocktail
1 serving
2 ounces fresh tangerine juice
1 ounce orange aperitif, such as Campari or Aperol
Ice, for serving
8 ounces light beer, such as Miller High Life
Maraschino cherry, for garnish
Pour the tangerine juice and orange aperitif into a large pint glass filled with ice and stir. Pour over the beer to top and stir again. Set all self-judgment aside, and garnish with a cherry. Drink while eating a hot dog and toast to beer made bitter and better.

"The facts, ma'am, just the facts": these words, attributed to the detective Joe Friday in the American 1950s crime series Dragnet, resonate in today's eurozone crisis. Will anybody help Angela Merkel, German chancellor and a trained physicist with a sharp analytical mind, to get hold of the facts blurred by this misguided eurozone debate? Or must we wait for François Hollande, Socialist challenger for the French presidency, a European with hyper-sober realism, to grasp the facts his country's president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has so far ignored?

Fight for Your Right Revisited
"Fight For Your Right Revisited" is like my wildest fantasy come to life. The short film, written and directed by Adam Yauch, is showing at Sundance and has the most insane cast EVER. For starters Mike D, Ad-Rock, and MCA will be played by two sets of actors: Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, and Danny McBride as one set, and John C Reilly, Will Ferrell, and Jack Black as another.
The rest of the cast list just might give you a heart attack!

FLUID is similar to a blue lava lamp, but slowly changes color and moves in tune with the custom ambient soundtrack or with the tunes you provide. Its moving art on your plasma screen. It's a great backdrop at a party or can be white noise to study by or relax to.


text: I am getting back into short (2-5 days) backpack hunts. This year in Wyoming for elk, next year in Alaska for Caribou. I have a budget of $1000 to $1200 and need a pack, tent, and a sleeping bag (guessing a 0 degree bag). Would like it to be a pretty light system. Hunts mainly in August, September and early October. Any advice?

ORLANDO, Fla. - A new dating survey claims to uncover what women are thinking during the first date and what they're seeking from single men.
According to the survey by Oxygen, 87 percent of women say bad body odor is the biggest turn-off and likely deal breaker for a second date.
However, women are lenient when it comes to second chances. The survey found 87 percent of women would be willing to go on a second date.
If the date isn't going as planned, women won't hesitate to make up an excuse to get out of a bad situation. According to the survey, the most used excuse is a fake emergency.
The women surveyed said the best place to meet a potential suitor is the bar, topping places like the gym, singles parties and online.
Some women want what they can't have, according to the survey. A quarter of women said they would go on a date with a man even if they knew he was married.
The survey also asked men similar questions and found:
- Facial hair is the biggest turn-off
- 66 percent would go on a second date

A GRIEF-STRICKEN mother who is losing her hair, a father who blames himself, a little girl who doesn't understand and an older sister trying to hold it all together.
That is the shattered life of Raymond Cho's family, 18 months since the 16-year-old died after a severe allergic reaction to a walnut biscuit he ate at his Sydney school.
His older sister, Fiona, told Glebe Coroner's Court on Thursday her family had been happy and full of joy before Raymond collapsed at Ashfield Boys' High School on May 19 last year.
She said patches of her mother Lian's hair had fallen out in reaction to losing her son.
''As we watch more strands of her hair come out each day it [is] a constant reminder of the pain our family has gone through,'' Ms Cho said, as many in the public gallery sobbed.
Ms Cho said she often heard her parents weeping at night, knowing they blamed themselves.
''I know they are crying themselves to sleep,'' she said. ''I watch my parents cry and feel totally hopeless.''
Her sister, six-year-old Amanda, always asked when Raymond would come back to play with her. The girl wrote a letter to the inquest, after being told lots of people would listen because they cared about Raymond.
''I love my brother Raymond Cho for ever, ever, gigantic ever,'' she wrote. ''My brother was so kind to me. Now my brother is not here, my heart is feeling very, very different.''
Fiona Cho said though her brother suffered asthma and the nut allergy, he grew up to be strong and active.
She said the day Raymond collapsed, he had offered to bring home ice-cream for the family.
''These are the last words he said to me and the last time I heard his voice,'' she said. ''We are still in shock that something has happened to our little hero.''
The five days he was in a coma were among the hardest days of the family's life, she said.
''We were hoping and praying for a miracle, for Raymond to wake from his coma … for this nightmare to end. Our miracle never came.''
Earlier, Dr Robert Loblay, the director of the allergy unit at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, told the inquest Raymond may have accepted the cookie because he used the word ''peanut'' to describe all nuts.
The inquest heard Raymond said he was allergic to peanuts when the biscuits were offered, but took a bite when he found out they contained walnuts.
''There are … characteristics which are cultural which make the kids less inclined to complain or make a nuisance of themselves,'' he said.
''Quite a few of the children who died of anaphylaxis in NSW … were in fact Asian.''
The State Coroner, Mary Jerram, will hear final submissions on Friday.

Custom Yachts 94 Carissima — By Diane M. Byrne
— March 2003
The Third Time's the Charm
|Why do owners keep returning to Hargrave Custom Yachts? Ask Oscar Menzano.
In nearly a decade of covering megayachts, I've walked into my fair share of builders' displays at boat shows. Many times there's been a good deal of activity going on, with handfuls of interested buyers making appointments to see the yachts in the water or waiting to board them. But over the past few years, I've noticed something different at the Hargrave Custom Yachts display: couples standing behind the reception desk, trading cruising stories with one another, and individuals scattered about in chairs, chatting with show-goers who've just stepped off the docks.
Now, you might assume that these people were all Hargrave staff members or maybe temps hired to help out in the booth. But the truth is, they're all Hargrave and Monte Fino owners (Hargrave's Fort Lauderdale-based office also distributes Monte Finos) who wanted to share their experiences with other potential buyers, whether or not their yacht was on display--or even delivered yet, in some cases.
Why do they do it? In conversations I've had with some of these owners, they've all mentioned how Mike Joyce, president of Hargrave, and his staff actively solicit their input not just for the yachts they've commissioned but also for ones Hargrave intends to develop in the future. Several of these owners were also repeat customers, largely crediting the Hargrave team's desire to give them what they wanted.
Oscar Menzano is a prime example of a repeat customer. He bought his first boat, a 60-footer, from Joyce 14 years ago, and in the past eight years, this native of Mexico has purchased the first 65-foot Monte Fino and the first 55-foot Monte Fino, and recently took delivery of the new 94-foot model in the Hargrave Capri series, which he christened Carissima. I met Menzano about two years ago and was immediately struck by his delightful personality and zest for life. He certainly has a zest for the cruising lifestyle in particular--he and his family lived aboard their first boat seven to eight months at a time and traveled the Caribbean, East Coast, and much of Europe over several years. More recently, the Menzanos took the 94 to the Bahamas and are about to take her south from Florida through the Panama Canal and then up the West Coast to Vancouver, remaining there all summer. And that's just for starters: The fall will see Carissima and company head to Australia and New Zealand.
It's fitting that Menzano has these plans, as he's just one of the many owners who told Joyce and his staff that they wanted Hargrave to combine the volume and style of a megayacht with a vessel that emphasized family cruising and good space for crew.
One of the most noticeable ways this is achieved aboard Carissima is through the use of intricate inlays and unexpected details in the decor. In many rooms, interior designer Shelley Higgins and the Menzanos selected woodwork with ornamental grain patterns covered with a healthy dose of high-gloss varnish. Menzano is so delighted with the result that he says it wasn't just made with care, "It was made with love."
Individual rooms received personal attention as well. In the saloon, for example, there's a striking woven-wood pattern on the buffet-like room divider. While oftentimes you'll see a simple column at the base of a staircase, when it comes to the floating staircase on the 94 (opposite the dining area), there's an art niche instead. Even the aft-deck dining table has intricate inlays at each end.

-Lucia Peters
Love nail polish, but hate all the nasty chemicals that are usually in most of them? Me too. This is why I'm over the moon about a brand-new discovery: Zoya Natural Nail Polish. Get a load of what landed in our mailbox!
Zoya is unique in that its formula has absolutely no nasty stuff in it. That's right: There's no formaldehyde, DBP, toluene, or camphor anywhere in the formula. What's more, it's 100 percent vegan friendly, and it's been named the longest wearing natural nail polish by Women's Health Magazine. How's that for good news?
If you're looking for fab new colors spring, Zoya's True Nail Polish Spring Collection ($8 each or $48 for the set, zoya.com) will be right up your alley. It comes in six gorgeous colors, and whether you tend towards smooth cream colors or shiny metallic shades, there's most definitely going to be something here for you. Farrah, a latte shade, and Bevin, a lovely sage green, cover the cream side of things, while Cho, Skylar, Tru, and Lotus will help you get your metallic on in vanilla, slate blue, orchid, or lotus shades. Right now, I've got Lotus on (that's the light purple one to the far right in the photo up there), and I absolutely adore it. At its base, the color is milky and smooth; then it's got just enough shimmer in it to give it a sassy kick. The best part? I've had it on for almost a week, and it hasn't even begun to chip yet—and believe you me, I'm hard on my nails.

PHILADELPHIA – The fifth-ranked Penn squash team seemed to be inches away from upsetting the defending Howe Cup champions, No. 1 Harvard, on Saturday at the Ringe Squash Courts. Unfortunately, a slow start for the Quakers (4-1, 0-1 Ivy) was too much to overcome, as the Crimson (5-0, 2-0) took the match, 6-3.
After starting off slow in the first rotation of matches – Penn dropped all three at positions three, six, and nine – the Red and Blue surged forward, taking two of the three matches during the second rotation. Unfortunately, some of the later games had already ended in Harvard's favor, amounting to the final match of the day, No. 1, being meaningless.
At No. 3, Rachael Goh (3-1, 0-1) took on Haley Mendez (4-0, 2-0). Goh started quickly, taking two of the first three games – 11-7, 10-12, 11-2 – giving her a 2-1 edge. But the final two games of the match went to Mendez, who seemed to outhustle Goh throughout them. At positions six and nine, Yarden Odinak (1-1, 0-1) and Ailsa Agnew (4-1, 0-1) both fell to their opponents, 3-0, which left Penn trailing Harvard as a team, 3-0, with just six matches remaining to make up the defecit.
The second round of matches was a different story, as Penn's No. 8 Camille Lanier (4-0, 1-0) and No. 5 Pia Trikha (2-0, 1-0) led the way, each defeating their opponents, 3-1. Lanier met Isabelle Dowling (4-1, 1-1), and the two split the first two games, followed by Lanier sweeping the next two. For Trikha, the first game was very close, but she was able to pull it out, 13-11. She then went on to win two of the next three games to seal the victory for her team, putting the Quakers within one of the Crimson, 2-3.
The most exciting match of the day was at No. 2 between Yan Xin (3-1, 0-1) and Laura Gemmell (3-0, 2-0), which lasted well after two of the three third-rotation matches began. While the No. 2 position match was going on, so was No. 7 between Courtney Jones (2-1, 0-1) and Sarah Mumanachit (4-0, 2-0). Jones was able to jump out the early 1-0 lead, but was unable to compete with Mumanachit for the final three games, falling 3-1, which put all the pressure on Xin to keep the Quakers within striking distance for their final two matches of the day.
Xin's match at No. 2 was a five-game battle that started very well for her. The freshman from Malaysia dominated Gemmell, one of the top players in the country, and won two of the first three games. The final two games went Gemmell's way, as the veteran was able to use her stamina to outplay the younger Xin, winning the match, 3-2, and the day for the Crimson by giving them their fifth overall victory.
No one told Haidi Lala (3-0, 1-0) – the freshman from Cairo, Egypt played in her first collegiate Ivy match on Saturday – as her match at No. 4 also went the full five games. Lala went up 2-0 early on Michelle Gemmell (2-1 1-1), but dropped the next two, bringing the match to a decisive fifth game. Lala dominated, earning her first-career collegiate Ivy victory, 3-2.
Despite Lala's win, Penn was now trailing Harvard, 3-5, heading into the final match of the day at No. 1 between Nabilla Ariffin (3-1, 0-1) and the highly touted Amanda Sobhy (2-0, 1-0). Ariffin was very competitive throughout, but Sobhy was too much, winning the match, 3-0, and sealing the 6-3 victory for the Crimson.
The Quakers will be back in action at Ringe tomorrow, Jan. 13, at 11:00 a.m. against another Ivy opponent, No. 8 Dartmouth (3-1, 0-1).

ALACHUA, Fla. - A Starke man was arrested for grabbing a 14-year-old girl between her legs at the Oaks Mall in Alachua County on Friday morning, according to authorities.
The Sheriff's Office said John Wesley Mosley of Starke was charged with one count of child cruelty without great harm.
Police said Mosley was standing behind the 14-year-old girl in a line at the Hollister at the Oaks Mall when he grabbed her between her legs.
The victim told police she initially thought Mosley had touched her by accident, but she said Mosley continued to grab her until he fell to the ground when the doors opened at midnight, authorities said.
Police arrested Mosley once he was inside the mall. Mosley denied touching the girl, authorities said.
Police said Mosley was being held in the Alachua County Jail on $35,000 bond.

THIEVES have unsuccessfully tried to rip out a freestanding cash machine in Barnard's Green, Malvern this morning.
A metal cable was attached to a Mitsubishi, believed to be a L200, as the would-be thieves tried to pull the machine out of the ground at about 2.30am.
They tried for ten minutes to remove the machine but drove off after their efforts proved unsuccessful.
The cash machine is on Barnard's Green Road outside TP Worldwide Travel.
The Mitsubishi is thought to have driven towards Geraldine Avenue and a black Ford Focus is thought to have driven off towards Guarlford Road.
It is possible both cars later met up on Guarlford Road.
Two people, believed to be male, are thought to have carried out the attempted theft, both were wearing balaclavas and one was wearing a light coloured body warmer.
The police helicopter has been flying over the area and scenes of crime officers have been investigating.
Police officers have been speaking to shop owners as well as carrying out CCTV inquiries.

National Emergency Alert System Test FAQs
Last Updated: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 > Related Articles
Learn about the first-ever nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS)that will occur on November 9, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time / 11:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
The first-ever nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) will occur on November 9, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time / 11:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. During this time, your programming will be interrupted for approximately 30 seconds.
This test is being conducted jointly by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the National Weather Service.
For additional information, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/pshs.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Emergency Alert System is designed to transmit, via TV and radio, emergency alerts and warnings regarding weather threats, child abductions and other types of emergencies to the American public from national, state and local agencies. This November 9 test will specifically assess the reliability and effectiveness of the EAS to alert the public, and also identify any areas for improvements in the operation of the system during an emergency. While state and local tests already take place weekly and monthly, a simultaneous, nationwide test of the national EAS emergency action notification code has never occurred.
This test may resemble the periodic, monthly EAS tests that most Americans are already familiar with, but there will be some differences in what you will see and hear. The audio message will repeat This is a test. The video test message scroll may not be the same or indicate that it is only a test. The message will last for approximately 30 seconds and then regular programming will resume.
The test will last for approximately 30 seconds.
Government agencies selected November 9 because it is near the end of hurricane season and before the start of severe winter weather. These same agencies selected 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time / 11 a.m. Pacific Standard Time because it will minimize disruption during rush hours, and to ensure that the test occurs during working hours across several time zones in the United States.
A Nationwide EAS Test will help federal partners and EAS participants determine the reliability of the system and its effectiveness in notifying the public of emergencies and potential dangers nationally and regionally.
EAS participants, including broadcast radio and television, cable television, satellite radio and television and wireline video services, all are required to participate in the test. Following the test, all EAS participants must report test results to the FCC within 45 days, including whether, and from whom, they received the alert message and whether they disseminated it. Under the FCC's EAS regulations, cable operators including Cox are required to provide national EAS messages issued by the President (or his or her designee). The nationwide EAS test may also serve as a reminder that everyone should establish an emergency preparedness kit and an emergency plan for their families and businesses.
While we do not anticipate an interruption, in some rare cases to fully restore programming, follow the troubleshooting steps below.
- Press the channel up / channel down button on the remote.
- If that does not correct the issue, unplug the cable box from the wall, wait 30 seconds, then plug the box back in and turn it on.

Leopold Caspari
Hon. Leopold Caspari, president and general manager of the Natchitoches Railroad Company, was originally from France, where his birth occurred July 28, 1830, and is a son of David and Charlotta (Baruch) Caspari, natives also of France, the father born in 1800 and the mother in 1802. The parents both died in their native county, the former in 1873 and the latter in 1844.
Hon. Leopold Caspari, the eldest of six children, three now living, was educated in the land of his birth, and served two and a half years as an apprentice in a dry goods store prior to the Revolution of 1848. In 1849 he came to the United States, settled in Natchitoches Parish, La., and embarked in merchandising at Cloutierville, where he continued until 1858, after which he removed to Natchitoches. There he carried on merchandising and farming very successfully. In 1861 he joined the Pelican Rangers No. J., and entered the ranks with the title of second lieutenant. Subsequently he was commissioned captain and served the Confederacy faithfully and well for nearly four years.
Mr. Caspari was one of the leading spirits in the building of the railroad from this town, and has been president of the road since its construction. He is one of the most enterprising men in this part of the State. He affiliates with the Democratic party in his political views, and in 1884 was elected to the General Assembly from this parish and re elected in 1888. In 1884 he was instrumental in passing a bill for the establishment of the State Normal School at Natchitoches. During his legislative career he took an active part. For eight years was officially connected with the State Normal School, and he has ever been interested in all enterprises for the good of the parish.
He was married in 1862, to Miss Amanda Woods, who was born in this parish, and who died in 1883. Nine children were born to this union: Richard L., Samuel, Joseph, David, Emanuel, Charles, Gustave, Julia and Dora. Mr. Caspari is a member of the A.L. of H. and K. of P., and of the B'nai Brith, a Jewish order. He is a first class citizen and representative man of this part of the State.

5 Clever Uses for Drinking Straws
Make pro-quality jack-o'-lanterns with these carving shortcutsMore
Tired of carving the same old Jack-'o-lantern? Now you don't have to. We've gathered 17 inspired designs from around the web and from Lisa Berberette, otherwise known as The Pumpkin Lady. Over the years, Lisa's designs have become so popular they've been shown on Oprah and other national TV programs—and it's not hard to see why. Simply click through the photos to find your favorite(s), print out the free templates and get carving!
The right tools—flexible, sharp and sturdy—will make carving easier and yield the best results. Some may already be lurking in your kitchen or toolbox! Clean them thoroughly after each use.
• Knives: Use a boning knife for cutting off the top and carving large areas; try a paring knife for the details. Sharpen both to a thin edge so they'll be easier to use and require less pressure when you cut.
• Saws: A craft knife with a keyhole saw blade, available at home and crafts stores, is essential for carving the smallest details. In fact, you can carve most of your designs with this tool.
• Awl: The sharp tip is perfect for transferring stencil designs onto the surface. A long nail or ice pick also works.
• China marker or grease pencil: Draw designs freehand before carving to ensure accuracy.
• Scooping tools: An ice cream scoop and a metal ladle will help remove the seeds and pulp from the inside of the pumpkin.

A bus dropped us off at the side of the road where a small flag, set beside a narrow path that led into the forest, indicated the start of the trail. It was not a simple walking trail, there were some difficult parts, but it was beautiful. Halfway along the trail there was a lookout. I felt as though I was standing on top of the forest. All I could see were the tops of trees stretching out toward the open ocean in the distance. As I stood there catching my breath and taking in the beauty, I could almost have believed I was the only person on the planet....this is the chef hike at The Gathering Festival in Burlington Newfoundland

On Thursday, August 29 the weather improved greatly from the previous day and we awoke to bright sun and light winds. We first set our sights on the Point Amour Lighthouse and it was a splendid day to be along the coast. This lighthouse is the second tallest lighthouse in Canada and is 109 feet tall. You can climb the 132 steps to the top where we got a bird's eye view of the surrounding area. While we were there the staff suggested doing the short 1 km trail to see the wreck of the HMS Raleigh which ran aground in dense fog on August 8, 1922.

On Wednesday, August 28 we awoke to strong north winds and the forecast was calling for rain in the afternoon so we decided to head immediately for Saddle Island which is where most of the Basque whaling took place. The Basques arrived along the coast of Labrador in the early 1500's looking for cod and when they discovered the abundance of whales they decided to harvest the whales for their oil. It was a very valuable product and whale oil from Red Bay was used to light the cities of Europe throughout the 1500's.

People often ask me, "what are the must-dos in Newfoundland & Labrador?". In a province as vast and unique as this, you can imagine that it is not an easy question to answer. However, after a little bit of thought and deliberation, I have put together my own Top 10 list of the things every traveller should do on their vacation to Newfoundland & Labrador.

Western Newfoundland has 2 UNESCO World Heritage sites that attract tourists from around the world. Gros Morne National Park at the base of the Northern Peninsula is one of province's keystone attractions and L'anse aux Meadows at the very top of the Peninsula is another popular visitor destination. However part way between these 2 locations lies the community of St.Barbe which provides access to Labrador and the province's newest UNESCO World Heritage site at Red Bay. Red Bay was officially named an UNESCO site in June, 2013 and is important for what it tells us about the Basques whaling exploits in this area in the 1500's.

Have You Tried: Lemon Curd?by Dana Angelo White in Have You Tried, March 24, 2012
Lemon curd is an outstanding combination of smooth, sweet, tart and tangy. You may be familiar with lemon meringue pie but have you paid attention to the star ingredient?
What Is Lemon Curd?
The basic recipe is simple. Cook down sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs and butter until thick. Once the mixture cools, you're left with a silky spread that's bursting with sweet citrus flavor.
Healthy Attributes
Despite its decadent ingredients and rich texture, lemon curd is relatively low in fat and calories. One tablespoon is just shy of 50 calories and 2 grams of fat. And thanks to all that big flavor, a little goes a long way.
You may be able to find prepared lemon curd in specialty food markets but making your own requires minimal effort and it will be free of any preservatives.
5 Ways to Love Lemon Curd
1.) Make Ina Garten's basic recipe
2.) Serve in phyllo cups topped with fresh berries
3.) Slather lemon curd inside crepes
4.) Make Mini Lemon Meringue Pies (above)
5.) Whisk with olive oil, chopped garlic, Dijon mustard and fresh thyme – use as marinade or salad dressing

Rudd and Abbott both believe in evolution, according to a report in the West Australian 31 January 2010. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, an Anglican Church attendee, has admitted he believes in evolution, and always has. Rudd was asked his view on evolution, after a challenge to quiz the PM on his beliefs from Opposition leader Tony Abbott. PM Rudd stated "I have always believed in evolution. The reason is it's an empirical science," he told Channel Nine. "It's been established. It has been, therefore, fundamental to the great innovations in science and technology for the last two hundred years since Darwin was around. And that's my view - always has been."
Abbott wrote on his website in mid 2008 that evolution was a more plausible explanation for the origin of humans than Genesis. Abbot stated "I don't say that evolution is a complete and entirely satisfactory scientific explanation of the origin of man. Still, I think it's more plausible than treating the Adam and Eve story as literal truth (if that's what creationists say)."
Editorial Comment: Since the Pope and most Anglican leaders are evolutionists, it is no surprise that church going lay Catholic and Anglican pollies are as well. It shows the importance of church leadership in taking a firm stand on the authority of what God says vs what the naturalist scientist says, as both Rudd and Abbott will make decisions on public issues such as gay rights and abortion and rising student violence murders based on their false evolutionist view of history that teaches man is an animal so why not behave that way.
