Wedding bells really did ring for lovebirds Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds this weekend.
And while reps for the newlyweds are keeping mum on the matrimonial maneuvers, details are pouring in about the couple's hush-hush nuptials.
Reynolds, 35, and Lively, 25, got hitched at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina - the same place where The Notebook was filmed in 2004 - on Sunday (local time), People reports.
News of the secret vow-swap was first tipped by a local radio station in Charleston, 95.1 FM, which tweeted, "Hold up, there's another story that it's Ryan Reynolds and he married Blake Lively at the Cotton Docks today!"
The radio station's Kelly Gukanovich also dished to E! News about the wedding buzz on Sunday.
"A few days ago, I heard Ryan was back in town. Then today, lots of signs went up at Boone Hall Plantation stating that it was holding a private event, so no one could get into the area. I also started hearing rumours that a celebrity wedding was taking place," she said.
"I am being told there were around 60 people at the event and that a local restaurant may have catered it. Ryan has always loved it here and when he got together with Blake, he started to bring her here, too."
The Green Lantern co-stars - who have been dating for just under a year - traded "I dos" in front of 70 guests, People reports.
The guest list reportedly included family, friends, famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin and Florence Welch of Florence and The Machine, a good friend of the Gossip Girl star.
The couple's reception took place underneath a large white tent at the Plantation on Sunday evening, with music provided by Welch along with a DJ, sources confirm.
According to the mag, the actress's mother and sister were spotted grabbing lunch in town earlier this weekend with Bette Midler.
Rumours quickly circulated that Midler had also attended the wedding, and may have even sang at the reception. However, a rep for the star later denied she was at the bash.
"Where do these knuckleheads get the idea that I went to a wedding and actually SANG at it?! Can you imagine? I was in a hotel lobby is all!" Midler also tweeted.
'An intimate, personalised party'
Reynolds and Lively also enlisted the help of domestic doyenne Martha Stewart's wedding gurus for the top-secret nuptials.
According to Martha Stewart Weddings (who had exclusive coverage of the event), a team worked with the pair and wedding planner Tara Guérard to create "an intimate, personalised party" for immediate and extended family "at a rustic barn" in South Carolina.
"From the heartfelt ceremony to the fun-filled carnival hour and elegant reception, it was a truly enchanting celebration," according to the magazine, which promises more coverage of the wedding in their December issue.
"Ryan, who has been a long-time fan of Charleston, chose to mark this special occasion in one of his favourite towns," the mag adds.
And the pair got hitched designer style.
Lively wore a one-of-a-kind Marchesa couture bridal gown with a hand-draped silk tulle bodice adorned with crystal and rose gold embroidery, the fashion house confirmed to Us Weekly.
Her bridesmaids wore blush silk chiffon dresses from the same designer. All the ladies wore custom Christian Louboutin shoes.
The groom and groomsmen donned Burberry suits, accessorised with custom-made leather braces created by designer Christopher Bailey, reports Martha Stewart Weddings.
The couple exchanged rings by Lorraine Schwartz.
As for the cake, it reportedly cost US$3000, and travelled through three different states in a truck to get to the wedding on time.
"Ryan and Blake wanted the event to look and feel like home," Guérard also dished to E! News. "With décor and live music, we all created the charm, elegance and magic of times passed," she said.
"It was truly a beautiful evening and celebration."
Wedding plans have been in motion for months. Guérard also said she accompanied the couple on a venue-scouting trip around Charleston in June.
According to E! Online, the new Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are still in South Carolina, and will depart for their honeymoon this week.
'I'm happy for her'
Meanwhile, actor Penn Badgley says he "couldn't be happier" for his ex and Gossip Girl co-star Lively.
Badgley, 25, who dated the starlet from 2007 to 2010 after meeting on the set of the TV show, thinks the newlyweds are "pretty spot-on".
"I actually didn't know until last night, but I think it's fantastic," Badgley told People. "I couldn't be happier for her.
"They're pretty spot on. I'm so happy for her. I think it's everything that it should be."
This is the first marriage for Lively, and the second trip down the aisle for Reynolds. Before dating the former Sexiest Man Alive, she was romantically linked to Leonardo DiCaprio, but they split after five months.
Reynolds married Scarlett Johansson in 2008 in a quiet ceremony in British Columbia. The couple divorced two years later, citing irreconcilable differences. The actor was also previously engaged to Alanis Morissette from 2004 - 2007.
Wedding rumours for Lively and Reynolds swirled back in July.
Webloid TMZ published a police report - filed by Reynolds, who complained that a photographer was following him - which quoted the investigating officer as stating, "upon arrival I spoke with Ryan Reynolds and his wife".
The report referred to Reynolds' so-called wife twice in the report.
Sources close to the pair dismissed the marriage chatter at the time, claiming the report was inaccurate.
Turns out the cop was just a few months premature.
First came the marriage...followed by the carriage(s)?
Just a few weeks before tying the knot, Lively dished to Allure magazine that she has babies on the brain.
"Right now, I'm so peaceful," the Gossip Girl star said in an interview for the mag's October issue. "I've never been happier in my life," she added.
Although Lively didn't mention Reynolds by name, she revealed that she's keen to have children - lots of them.
"I've always wanted a big family," she said. "Oh, I'd love 30 [children] if I could."
Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Troubled OCZ brings forth consumer SSDs with Vector
Barefoot and pregnant with possibility?
SSD supplier OCZ, hard hit by an erring CEO and now under new management, has launched its first consumer SSD using in-house controller technology, the Vector.
OCZ's roller coaster ride story from start-up glory to sick ward candidate can be found here. New CEO Ralph Schmitt announced the product but it was mostly developed under the previous CEO's reign, using acquired technology bought with Indilinx in March 2011.
What we have is a 7mm thick 2.5-inch format SSD that ships with a 3.5-inch adapter. It comes in 128GB, 256Gb and 512GB capacity points and has a 6Gbit/s SATA interface. The performance numbers are respectable: 100,000 random read IOPS, 550MB/sec sequential read bandwidth and 530MB/sec for sequential writing. These numbers apply to compressed or uncompressed data. The thing has a 5-year warranty that it will do 20GB of host writes a day.
It uses the Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller with MLC NAND, and CEO Ralph Schmitt said in a canned quote:
"These are the first SSD products delivered by the new OCZ and [they] leverage cutting-edge controller technology to deliver a groundbreaking level of sustained performance and reliability for customers seeking a superior SSD for their high performance computing applications."
OCZ won't have to pay any license per component fees to use this technology as it would if it were using, for example, LSI Sandforce controllers.
OCZ's existing 2.5-inch consumer SSDs are the Agility, Onyx and Vertex product lines. The Vertex 4 uses MLC NAND, with a capacity range from 64GB to 512GB, and has the same 6Gbit/s SATA interface. It does up to 95,000 random read IOPS with incompressible data, 560MB/sec sequential reads and 510MB/sec sequential writes. That uses an Indilinx controller and also has a 5-year warranty. Vector looks to replace Vertex 4 with not much raw performance improvement.
The Agility 4 is another MLC, 6Gbit/s SATA job and there is a SAS version too. It does 48,000 random read IOPS, 85,000 random write ones, and 400MB/sec sequential reads and writes. Vector outclasses it.
Onyx 3 is a 120GB-240GB MLC SSD using an earlier Barefoot 2 controller from Indilinx and positioned as a low cost, value product. It is well outclassed by Vector doing a maximum of 23,000 random read IOPS, 235MB/sec sequential reads and 230MB/sec sequential writes.
OCZ will probably introduce Barefoot 3 controllers into other products in its range, using SAS and look forward to improve its gross margin on products using it. If it performs as promised and is reliable then OCZ can look to glean a better product reputation, an area which has been weak in the past. ®

Most interesting read of the morning? Check out this piece in the Los Angeles Times with the following news: the cutbacks in the state parks could be an economic blow for Hollywood.
How's that? It turns out that the California state parks provide backdrops for all sorts of film and TV productions. And the parks can be rented cheaply. In effect, the parks provide a backdoor public subsidy of sorts for California productions, keeping them near and helping out particularly low-budget filmmakers.
It's yet another reason why cutbacks in the parks, which represent a tiny fraction of the state budget, are penny-wise but pound foolish.

The prestigious contest is open to professional photographers on assignment to cover NFL games. Photos taken during the 2010 NFL season, that included Super Bowl XLV and the 2011 Pro Bowl, were eligible. Take a look inside and see what was going through the minds of the winning photographers as they captured the great moments of the 2010 season.
Dave Boss Award of Excellence, 2010 Photo of the Year, first place (action) - "Thrill and Agony"
In a lot of ways, I was out of position when I captured my entry "Thrill and Agony." I was angling for a spot on the sideline in the end zone, but there wasn't any room. So as the Patriots broke their huddle, I curled around the back of the end zone and took the first open spot I could. When I saw Aaron Hernandez line up in what might be a pass formation, I picked up my 70-200mm lens and hoped the play came my way. Thankfully, it did, and I was alone with the angle for Hernandez's high-stepping reaction, the dejected Sam Shields, the Patriots' sideline and the crowd. I knew I had a good photo, but with seven minutes remaining in the game, it was crucial that the Patriots' defense held off the Packers' offense to secure the win and preserve the picture's game relevance. Photo contest winners announced
Second place (action) - "Leaping Panther"
One of my favorite positions lately is near the back pylon of the end zone. It gives me great perspective of the field and has a nice, clean background. Also, lots of action can happen at the front pylon. On this particular shot, I positioned myself at the back of the end zone leaving a little room for the back judge so as not to get blocked by him. When Steve Smith caught the ball, I saw him running to his left and I was able to track him as he got closer to me. What happened next was what most photographers dream about: Smith trying to leap over a defender. When I saw Smith jump, I knew I had to zoom out quickly, pray that I didn't cut anything off and that the frame was sharp. After the play, I crossed my fingers while looking at the photo on the back of the camera. These plays don't happen so often, and when they do it really stings when you miss them. Luckily, I didn't miss this one.
Third place (action) - "Knock Your Block Off"
The decisive moment in sports photography often boils down to a combination of careful design and good luck. The design part of a photo happens when you have the right equipment and proper camera settings. This photo was taken at a preseason night game, so the light was low. Once the equipment is carefully set in place, you simply follow the ball. Gang tackles like this one often show interesting emotions, usually by the person getting hit. The Raiders defenders and 49ers running back Anthony Dixon cooperated. The helmet coming off ... that's the lucky part! Photo contest winners announced
Honorable mention (action) - "Pink Hands"
I remember the quarterback releasing the ball, and looking up from the camera to see where it was going. I saw DeSean Jackson open and brought the lens to him and fired off a few shots. Once I looked at the images, I had a few good frames from the sequence, but I knew this was the shot. The eyes of the defensive back and the facial expressions of both player immediately stand out. The pink gloves and the ball on the tips of the fingers, plus the pink in the background, also add to the image. For me, the eyes make it special. Photo contest winners announced
Honorable mention (action) - "Haymaker"
There is nothing greater than Kickoff Weekend in the NFL. With that day comes the pressure to produce images that have great visual impact and tell the story of the game. I was very fortunate to capture this image of Jerome Harrison during the first half of the first game of the season. The instant you photograph a great play the anticipation to review it is great. Thoughts of, "Wow, I hope that's in focus" run through your mind (or at least they do mine). Viewing that image on the monitor and enlarging it to check focus is somewhat unnerving, but when you know you have "it," that is a great relief. The back lighting really helps show the grass flying up and gives the feeling that he really is tearing it up. I like to shoot as low as I can and that helped on this shot, so that you can really see his facial expression.
Honorable mention action - "In Your Face"
I took this image on Halloween at Gillette Stadium during the Vikings vs.Patriots game. Almost always covering the punter, I was rewarded when Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen (97) ran face-first into New England Patriots punter Zoltan Mesko (14) after the punt. Shooting 9 frames per second, I hoped I got something usable from the collision. Photo contest winners announced
Honorable mention (action) - "Ripped Off"
When Brett Favre decided to play for the Vikings, he broke the heart of many Packers fans. Although it would be Favre's last game at Lambeau Field, many fans were hoping for some revenge after he and the Vikings beat the Packers there the year before. The Packers gave Favre a beating, forcing him to throw three interceptions in the second half as they held on to win 28-24. This shot of Clay Matthews ripping Favre's jersey off shows the kind of pressure he was under throughout the game. It was a sad ending for a great quarterback as Minnesota failed to make the playoffs and Green Bay went on to win the Super Bowl. Photo contest winners announced
First place (feature) - "Shadows"
At my Qualcomm Stadium, where I cover the Chargers for the San Diego Union-Tribune, the teams walk down a long, narrow, dingy cement tunnel to the field. In recent years, I have been playing around with strobes in the tunnel to light players, mounting small flashes on the wall or ceiling in the tunnel. Sometimes I just light the players, other times I try to project their shadows on the wall. During a Chargers-Texans game in Houston last season, I photographed players as they walked down the tunnel for warmups. I asked my assistant to point the flash so it lit the players and projected their shadow on the wall. The Chargers' Antonio Gates, Randy McMichael and Seyi Ajirotutu walked through the tunnel and suddenly stopped right in front of me. They put their hands together and said a few words. The flash was set on the zoom mode so it only lit a select area and a blue gel was used. Ajirotutu and McMichael each scored two touchdowns that day against the Texans.
Second place (feature) - "Smokey Entrance"
I took this shot during the pregame opening ceremonies while the Chargers' offensive starting lineup was being announced. The players all line up in a large inflatable Chargers helmet they come out of one at a time as they are announced. I was lucky enough to get right behind Patrick Crayton as he came out, and the timing of the lights, smoke, and fireworks couldn't have been better. Photo contest winners announced
Honorable mention feature - "Pregame Prep"
You hear stories all the time about players hoping to get that special "Call from the Hall," and trust me it's just as exciting for us photographers when it happens. Having your photograph singled out for recognition among the galleries of great NFL pictures really is something else. Truth be told, it is an honor just to be able to toss a few shots in with the other folks who cover the NFL. I really do feel I am swimming with the big fish, each and every week. I was happy to see that my photo of James Ihedigbo preparing to go out on the field was one that caught people's fancy. "Dig," as he is known, is both serene and intense and I feel like this image captures that. He's shown getting himself in the right frame of mind to play, and his quiet determination is something I try to call up every week in covering my beloved Jets.
Honorable mention (feature) - "Neener Neener"
There is so much more to an NFL game than just football. The atmosphere is what I enjoy the most, and staying constantly aware of everything going on inside the stadium is my biggest goal when covering a game. The most exciting action doesn't always get captured simply by following the ball up and down the field. Every photographer strives to capture that one monumental shot, but achieving that goal can many times require pointing your lens against the grain. As the Chiefs prepared to kick off against in the Ravens in their AFC Wild-Card matchup, Andy Studebaker was busy getting his team and the Arrowhead Stadium crowd pumped up. For a brief moment, he raised his hands and stuck out his tongue in this fashion, as if to taunt the Ravens shouting, "Neener, neener, you can't beat us!" Photo contest winners announced
Honorable mention (feature)
The Seattle Seahawks were having a miserable season. They were the first team in the history of the NFL to have a losing record, win their division and make it to the playoffs at 7-9. No one gave them a chance in the NFC Wild-Card Game against the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. I was one of them. From the opening kickoff, I was looking for photos that would match well with a losing effort from the Seahawks. My photos have to tell the story of the game, which I thought would be an emphatic loss. I thought I had struck gold when head coach Pete Carroll came wandering down the sidelines and, for a second, was isolated with what appeared to be a grimace on his face. I thought: "Awesome, I've got my losing photo!" I fired off eight frames before Carroll turned and walked away. Then the unthinkable happened, as the Seahawks defeated the Saints 41-36. My photo meant nothing for that game. It never ran in print.
Honorable mention feature - "Tears of Joy"
When the final seconds tick off the clock of a Super Bowl, it's a mad dash onto the field for photographers trying to find the key players of the game and get into position for the trophy presentation. But it's after the formal presentation that many subtle moments can be captured by photographers. While running about after the trophy presentation, I found Howard Green of the Packers resting his head on his mother's shoulder while hugging her as tears were rolling down his face. Most of his face was covered as his emotions poured out. I took a step back and looked at the background to see what was being displayed behind them and waited for their embrace to end. I captured this moment when he looked, just before wiping his tears away. Photo contest winners announced
Honorable mention (feature) - "Game Face"
The shot of the Chargers' Mike Tolbert was taken in the locker room after a game against the Chiefs. He was still clearly pumped up during the head coaches' postgame speech. Usually, most players come into the locker room after a game and are exhausted. If it's a win, they show upbeat body language. But what caught my attention with Tolbert was that he looked like he still had his "game face" on. Photo contest winners announced

Edgar Hernandez Behrens, Head of the Exchange control office CADIVI is one of those curious personalities of this Government who holds his position because of his loyalty and fundamentalism and not for his qualifications. A former military, loyal Chavista and deeply religious, to the extent that his offices� web page says �God is love and prosperity�, he regularly makes statements that show his ignorance, what�s worse is that even when corrected, he continues saying and doing the same things.
His office has been in the news this week for a number of reasons. It was CADIVI that proposed in April 2003 a Bill for foreign exchange violations, which has mysteriously remained at the Committee level as if not to interfere with the lucrative foreign exchange activities of the revolution and the revolutionaries. But Hernandez Behrens has persisted and the first draft of the Bill was approved in May and was discussed again this week in the Finance Committee of the National Assembly.
There are two aspects of the bill that are of concern. The first one is that it criminalizes the possession of foreign currency. In order to carry foreign currency with you, you will have to carry a receipt as proof of purchase of the bills you may have on you. Mind you, since CADIVI does not currently approve the direct sale of foreign currency of any kind to anyone, it only approves the use of your credit cards abroad that means that you would have to find the original receipt from before exchange controls were imposed in early 2003 and carry it around when traveling.
But this is not what is bothersome. What worries me is that if passed as is, Venezuelans and foreigners traveling abroad will likely be searched, their money confiscated, abused and asked for bribes when they leave the country through the airports. As we like to say here, we have seen that movie before, authorities abusing their power for their own benefit, when laws give them some form of discretionary power. One MVR Deputy said during the testimony on the Bill that people did not have to worry, that they will not be harassed, but it is easy for him to say, as most Deputies and Government officials (from all sides of the political spectrum) have flunkies meet them when they leave or arrive in the country to speed up and �ease� the process. So what do they know about anyway?
What I worry is that soon we will have our new form of Saudi Arabia�s religious police well described so well in that great blog by the same name that I recommended a few months ago. I can imagine Hernandez Behrens creating the CADIVI police, with himself and chief, to check every Venezuelan leaving or entering the country to comply with this law, while millions are being stolen by leaders of the revolution via the same exchange control system as is happening today.
As of this were not enough, there is another article in the proposed law that essentially implies that every time a resident of Venezuela buys, sells, provides a service or trades something abroad, he will have to convert the foreign currency into local currency at the official rate of exchange. The article says very specifically that every time a transaction like that takes place whether �in Venezuela or abroad� the individual or company will have to change the currency at the official rate. This is clearly illegal and in violation of the countries laws. Venezuelan law in no way prohibits individuals or companies from holding foreign property, but this will de facto prohibit it, if approved as it is. Imagine, if you sell a stock, or a bond that you hold abroad for example, you are told you have to change the foreign currency into bolivars. The only restriction currently established by Venezuelan laws is that you have to pay taxes on any gains anywhere in the world, but you can own any instrument or property you wish.
Of course, there are ways around it. If the language in the bill remains dense like of is today, there will be a mad rush by Venezuelan individuals and companies to change their assets in their current brokerage or investment account to be owned by foreign company, so as to be exempt from the law.
As if this were not enough this tropical version of the religious policeman reiterated statements made by him a few weeks ago and continued proving his ignorance on a subject in which he should be an expert and I quote:
�We are thinking of allowing sending capitals abroad, a convertibility of capitals. For example, a Venezuelan that sells a farm, an apartment. He wants to convert his bolivars to foreign currency? He will convert 200 million bolivars, as an example, into 200,000 dollars, but he will have to pay a tax�In the US this tax is 30% (??), I think in Colombia it is 20%, we have to study what is the ideal percentage to remove the motivation for those capitals to flee, but we have to allow it.�
No such tax exists in the US where billions are allowed to come in and out daily. I don�t know if it does exist in Colombia. Various spokesmen have told Mr. Behrens of his ignorance via the press and the media, but when you are a fundamentalist, you are always right, so you repeat lies so many times that they become the truth. Such is the case of our very own religious policeman, who soon may acquire new powers to spread his will and his word.

Breakfast of Champions & A Question
Well it's Monday…again. The weekends go by SO fast (which is ok since whatever we can do to get closer to spring is fine by me). I've posted pics of my various morning smoothies on Instagram and people always ask what's in them. So here is what I put in my very favorite morning smoothie, perfect to get going on Monday (plus then you feel like you at least did ONE good thing for your body for the day should you end up snarfing down grilled cheese for lunch!)
Monday Morning Smoothie
1/2 a ripe banana
1 big handful baby spinach
4-5 chunks of fresh pineapple (not frozen or canned!)
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1-2 tbs. of vanilla whey protein powder
3/4 c-1 c. vanilla coconut milk ( add as you blend to right consistency, may be less, may be more)
1 tbs. flaxseed
*Blend at a high speed in a blender until very smooth. Enjoy. (P.S. I still am dying for a Vitamix!)
Once you've powered up with your smoothie please take a second to quickly answer this question for me- I have the ability to sell a select number of copies of the book (signed) through the blog and want to get a general idea of how many I should try to get to do so! Thanks SO much!

Knotty Alder is a medium density hardwood that features a color range of light brown with reddish or peach hues. Small and large split knots and open knots that vary in size, shape, and color, that may be completely through the wood, are acceptable characteristics of Knotty Alder. Noticeable stain patina characteristics ranging in visibility from dark spots absorbing excessive stain to very light spots absorbing minimal stain may exist due to the Alder wood having soft and hard wood characteristics.
Select Alder is a medium density hardwood that features a color range of light brown with reddish or peach hues. Natural characteristics of Select Alder include small sound knots, modular rays, curly grain, pin holes, and mineral streaks. This fairly straight-grained hardwood has a uniform texture and is often chosen for its color stability.
Cherry ranges in color from white to red and on to a deep, rich brown. Exposure to natural light in the home will cause the color of the wood to darken over time. The natural wood colors will deepen, turning the darker areas of the wood a dark, reddish brown while the lighter areas darken to shades of yellow and brown. These changes in the wood color are natural and should be expected in any Cherry cabinetry.
Hickory is a dense, heavy wood with both closed and open wood grain. The natural color of this wood has a wide spectrum, ranging from hues of white to chocolate brown. This wood has characteristic depressions, mineral streaks and random knots that are naturally occurring and add to the wood's appeal.
Maple & Painted Maple are close, uniform-grained hardwoods that vary in color from white to cream into light brown. They may exhibit small areas that are reminiscent of bird's eyes, curly grain, and may contain random small black mineral streaks.
MDF+Plus is a medium density fiberboard (MDF) of pre-consumer recycled wood fiber that utilizes a formaldehyde free adhesive system to create a water-resistant product with superior MDF properties. MDF+Plus provides the same smooth surfaces, consistent board thickness and non-expansion and non-contraction properties of traditional MDF material, plus the superior water-resistant property.
Quarter Sawn Oak gets its name from how the log was oriented when the lumber was sawn. Unique grain patterns are produced by quartering the log then cutting the quarter using the heart as the edge rather than the center. The distinguishing characteristics of the Quarter Sawn process are the rays or flecks that appear in random patterns across the grain of the wood. These rays can give the appearance of tiger stripes.
Red Oak is a very strong, open-grained wood that ranges in color from salmon pink to white. It is sometimes streaked with green, yellow and black mineral deposits and may contain knots and wild grain veins that are naturally characteristic of the wood.
Walnut is a smooth grained wood with mostly wavy or curly grain patterns and course texture, with an occasional mineral streak and pin knots. Its color has a rich, warm appeal, and ranges from a deep chocolate brown to dark purple-brown to a light reddish-brown. While care is taken to eliminate sapwood, sapwood will be seen in some staves of Walnut wood. Walnut possesses above average density and hardness, as well as above average stiffness, toughness, and strength. Lengths of walnut wood are usually shorter than average, which results in longer lengths being difficult to obtain. Walnut is considered a durable wood, and has become a desired wood specie for use in cabinetry and furniture.
Bamboo has a tight grain appearance with narrow staves with naturally occurring specks and nodes that look like burls. The dense cellular structure of Bamboo results in an even consistent finish with a more uniform end grain. Although many characteristics of bamboo are similar to those of hardwoods, bamboo is not a wood, but a cane, and is 15% to 25% harder than some traditional hardwoods. Our Bamboo is caramelized and has a deep amber color. This rich color is created by the pressure heating process, which darkens the sugar compounds in the fiber and gives the bamboo its unique richness. Bamboo is a clean and sophisticated look that is used in contemporary kitchen designs and is only available in our Premier EuroStyle cabinetry.
Reconstituted Wenge Veneer is a reconstituted or man-made veneer, which simulates the exotic Wenge wood specie found in central Africa. It is produced through an engineered process than utilizes more abundant, sustainable wood species to create the distinctive veins and darker hue of authentic Wenge. The warm rich color to the reconstituted Wenge makes it unique when compared to domestic wood species, and the engineered process for producing these reconstituted veneers conserves Africa's limited supply of Wenge Trees.
Reconstituted Zebrawood Veneer is a reconstituted or man-made veneer, which simulates the beautiful Zebrawood of Equatorial Africa. It is produced through an engineered process than utilizes more abundant, sustainable wood species to create the exotic look of quarter sawn Zebrawood. The grain pattern has bold stripes ranging from dark brown to almost black with the alternating stripes ranging from light tan to golden yellow. The reconstituted veneer replicates this exotic wood specie without impacting the current stand of Zebrawood trees.

Shadow Fall
Killzone Shadow Fall is set in a near future, thirty years after the events of KIllzone 3. The world is a very different place; two rival factions known as the Helghast and the Vektans live side by side in a futuristic city, divided by a vast wall.
Tensions are high, and the cold war they are embroiled in is about to go hot. In the midst of all this stands a Shadow Marshal, you. The most special of the special forces, tasked with maintaining the delicate balance.
From responding to bold attacks to quiet infiltrations or all-out combat, you will be required to adapt and think on your feet as you have to face a variety of escalating events that could destroy your home world.

Following the cataclysmic chain of events that destroyed planet Helghan and abruptly ended the war in Killzone 3, the Helghast survivors and ISA remnants have settled into an uneasy truce. As part of the post-war reconciliations, the Helghast have been granted their own sectors on the lush, Eden-like planet of Vekta and its glorious capital, Vekta City.
For three decades, both factions have lived side by side, separated by an enormous security wall – but now their cold war is about to go hot. Behind the scenes, forces within each faction have begun warring and conspiring to further their own agendas. Some, like the extremist splinter group Black Hand, want to force an all-out civil war. Others, like Helghast intelligence operative Echo, are desperately trying to prevent it.
As Shadow Marshal Lucas Kellan, you must deal with the escalating hostilities before they envelop the entire planet. A new warrior for a new era of war, your missions will range from quiet infiltrations to all-out combat. You will need to be methodical and ready to adapt, as any misstep could lead to mutually assured destruction...
Just like the single player campaign, Killzone Shadow Fall's 24-player multiplayer component gives you the freedom to play how you want.

Main Content
Miami County
Miami County, Indiana, located northeast of the state's center along the banks of the Wabash River, was organized in 1834 on land purchased by Joseph Holman from the Miami Tribe of Chief, John B. Richardville, in 1830. The Miami moved from their historical home in Wisconsin to central Indiana over a century before Indiana Territory was established in 1800. But, they lost much of their land through a string of 1830s treaties, starting with the 1834 treaty which dissolved the Eel Creek Reserve and forced inhabitants to move to other land within Miami County. The federal government quickly purchased the newly-available land and started the Wabash-Erie Canal.
Peru, the county seat, was established shortly after Miami County, and became the hub of commercial and social activity in the county as those eager to work on the canal or sell goods to the canal workers trickled into the area. The first canal boat arrived in Peru in 1837. Additional treaties followed culminating in the 1840 treaty which forced the remaining Miami to cede their land and leave the state by 1845. This removal opened up Miami County for more development including the Lake and Western Reserve Railroad which reached Peru in 1854. Miami County's first Jewish citizen was Moses Falk, an immigrant from Wurtemburg, Germany arrived in Miami County around 1838.Read the entire document to learn about Peru's Jewish Heritages.

text: Australia Value Equity 2018 Outlook After the strong run for Australian equities and for the Martin Currie Australia Value Equity portfolio in 2017, Reece Birtles and Michael Slack look to the year ahead and explain how the Australia Value Equity strategy is well positioned to capture opportunities in 2018. 31 January 2018 Our market outlook at start of 2017 for strong growth and increasing bond yields went against consensus. We believed that the Chinese economy would not slow, and would in fact benefit from Government stimulus. We held the view of rising oil and base metal prices, and also expected Australian GDP growth to accelerate. Based on this, and our bottom-up stock analysis, the Value Equity portfolio was positioned in more cyclical names such as resources, non-bank financials and consumer stocks. These stocks were well rewarded as our view has become more consensus going into 2018. Given the backdrop of steadily improving global growth, the outlook for the Australian economy is looking more positive for the short to medium term. However, it should be noted that the Australian economic cycle runs behind that of the US recovery, so a lag in the effects of growth are to be expected. Given the lagged start in the rebound relative to the US, Australian equities are thus at an earlier stage of EPS acceleration and carry less valuation risk than global or US equities. Whilst equities are no longer cheap on long run measures, valuation is not yet a barrier to equity returns in the 'double digit EPS growth world' Our multi-lensed investment approach of Valuation, Quality, Direction and Sustainable Dividend places us in a strong position to navigate the economic environment going forward.

Wessex Oak Grand Ox Bow Fixed Top Dining Table
Product Description
The Wessex Oak Range features a premium farmhouse design which is constructed using only the finest selected solid oak timber then finished in an attractive satin lacquer, a simple, but very robust, collection of furniture.
Crafted to showcase the beautiful characteristics of the oak, the design of this collection echoes of the french farmhouse style with the slight bracket foot, raised drawer & door panels, squared chunky tops and simplistic styling. Each item of Wessex oak furniture is manufactured to an extremely high standard and includes fully dovetailed joints with solid oak drawer bases and rear panels, but it is the little hints of detailing that sets this range apart from many others with the likes of the Diamond dowel detail seen here and there coupled with slightly chamfered doors and plinths.
The Wessex Grand Ox Bow dining table like the majority of our dining tables, comes with the legs detatched to make it easier to move and of course you are more than welcome to collect from your nearest store (call 0800 1223334 for availability) but if you choose delivery this will be carried out by our 2 man delivery teams, where everything is unwrapped for you (and all packaging will be removed for recycling) and the dining table fully assembled leaving you to sit back and enjoy your new dining table along with any other pieces you may have purchased from the Wessex oak collection.

Count Oceanside Assemblyman Rocky Chávez as one of a growing number of Republicans who believe the party's biting rhetoric on border security and immigration issues has driven off Latinos and lost elections.
"Republicans are seen (by Latinos) in a very negative light," Chávez said in an interview. "Every time they start saying secure our borders that sends the message that we don't want Mexicans here, or dark skins."
Republicans gather in Sacramento Friday for a political convention that will undoubtedly continue the soul-searching in the wake of election-year drubbings that saw Democrats seize super majorities in the Assembly and Senate.
State Republicans are not alone. Across the country, many GOP leaders are urging compromise on immigration and related issues.
For his part, Chávez also revealed that he plans to launch a new nonprofit committee to raise money to gauge Latino views.
"it's not a political effort. It's actually an educational effort. What I plan to do with it is using it to communicate," Chávez said. "It's good within a society that all people are included in the society. The Latino population feels excluded from a major party, the Republican Party."
Chávez said he hopes to work with GROW Elect, a new campaign led by former San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce President Ruben Barrales to recruit Latino candidates.
While most of the internal debate centers on Latinos, Chávez said for Republicans to gain ground in California they also have to moderate their views on social issues.
For example, Chávez, a devout Catholic and retired Marine colonel, said same-sex marriage should be legal — but only as long as churches are not required to perform ceremonies in violation of their beliefs.
"I don't have a problem with gays getting married," he said.
In a follow-up email, Chávez added: "I was drawn to the party by economic and defense issues, not social issues. I am conservative in my life style, but recognize and respect the diversity in our country."
Chávez's views are not universal, however. Many Republicans believe that illegal immigration costs California in terms of services that reward those who break the law. Many also support Proposition 8's ban on same-sex marriage passed by voters in 2008.
Assemblyman Brian Jones, R-Santee, said he did not want to address Chávez's remarks directly because he has not had an opportunity to talk to him.
"I haven't heard him say that or seen it in writing," Jones said. "For myself, I believe a lot of legal immigrants support securing the borders and setting up a process for people to become legal citizens."
Chávez also said Republicans are being hurt by strident positions on deporting those found to be here illegally and charged with minor infractions. In some cases, that breaks up families — something that Latinos with strong family ties abhor. He also noted Escondido's controversial vehicle checkpoint program. That policy, critics said. profiled Latino drivers so they would have to provide proof of legal residency. Escondido officials have disputed that.
"As a Latino I am offended by it," said Chávez, a former Oceanside city councilman.
Chávez said he hopes this weekend's convention will initiate a more moderate tone.
"My previous experience is the message of the party has been more of a message of 'no,' We need a more inspirational message … The party needs to talk about a positive vision," he said.
Chávez said Republicans have a chance this weekend to elect two new party leaders who have been pushing that message: Jim Brulte, a former legislative leader, as chairman; and Harmeet Dhillon,cq a San Francisco attorney and immigrant from India, as vice-chair.
But Chávez concedes that it may take Republicans time to moderate.
"I still think it's a challenge, but the movement looks like it's heading our way," he said.
Chávez said his nonprofit committee will start holding focus groups with Latinos through this summer to gauge their views on the political environment.
He's looking for contributions from groups with a big stake in immigration issues, such as agriculture and high-technology firms. He did not have an estimate of how much money he would like to raise.

Audiobook Summary: A timely and informed assessment of the rapidly growing gaming industry that is altering the world around us. Despite the recession, video games continue to break records and command unprecedented amounts of media coverage. The U.S. is the world's biggest video games market and manufacturer, with a market now worth over $20 billion annually in software and hardware sales more than quadruple its size in the mid 1990s. World of Warcraft now boasts over 11 million players worldwide, and over $1 billion per year in revenues. Gaming is flourishing as a career and a creative industry as well. 254 U.S. colleges and universities in 37 states now offer courses and degrees in computer and video game design, programming and art. Video games are increasingly for everyone: 68% of American households now play computer or video games, while the average game player is 35 years old and has been playing games for twelve years. Against the popular image, too, 43% of online U.S. game players are female. The U.S. military alone now spends around $6 billion a year on virtual and simulated training programs, based around video games and virtual worlds. The budgets for developing the biggest games can now top the $100 million mark and are snapping up some of the biggest names in film, from Steven Spielberg to Peter Jackson.

NFL: Rodgers, Packers hammer Giants
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- With Aaron Rodgers back from a concussion, the Green Bay Packers stayed on track for the playoffs -- and made sure the New York Giants' nightmare continued for another week.
Rodgers threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns as the Packers beat the struggling Giants 45-17 at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
The loss leaves the Giants (9-6) clinging to fading playoff hopes and wondering if there was a hangover effect from the previous week's collapse against Philadelphia. New York's turnover issues continued Sunday, as the Giants lost two fumbles and Eli Manning threw four interceptions.
John Kuhn ran for two touchdowns and caught a pass for a score for the Packers (9-6), who came into Sunday's game needing to win their final two games to make the playoffs. The Packers host division-rival Chicago in their final regular-season game next Sunday.
Rodgers sat out last Sunday's loss at New England because of his second concussion of the season. Greg Jennings caught seven passes for 142 yards for Green Bay.
Manning threw for 301 yards with two touchdowns and the four interceptions, a week after the Giants allowed the Eagles to score 28 points in the final 7½ minutes to win 38-31 on DeSean Jackson's 65-yard punt return on the final play.
And as if Sunday's game wasn't frustrating enough for the Giants, they are expected to be stuck in Wisconsin for an extra night because of a heavy snowstorm on the East Coast.
It was a rematch of the Giants' overtime victory in the NFC title game in below-zero conditions at Lambeau nearly three years ago. Sunday's conditions weren't nearly as challenging, with 25-degree temperatures and little wind at kickoff.
Rodgers certainly was hot, while the Giants had trouble holding on to the ball.
Already trailing 21-14, the Giants began the second half with yet another major mistake. On a third-down play in Packers territory, Charles Woodson stripped the ball from Ahmad Bradshaw and the Packers recovered at the 50. The Packers drove but had to settle for a field goal, taking a 24-14 lead.
The Giants answered with a drive for a field goal, but Rodgers was at his absolute best on the Packers' next possession. Taking over at the Green Bay 30, Rodgers threw for big gains on back-to-back plays -- Donald Driver for 33 yards and Jennings for 36 -- then threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Donald Lee two plays later to give the Packers a 31-17 lead with 4:44 left in the third quarter.
Hakeem Nicks appeared to fumble on the ensuing kickoff, but Giants coach Tom Coughlin challenged the play and New York kept the ball. Brandon Jacobs then broke free for a long run -- but Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews punched the ball, it popped into the air and the Packers recovered.
This time, Coughlin's replay review was unsuccessful and Green Bay kept the ball.
Manning then threw an interception to Packers rookie Sam Shields, whose foot appeared to be out of bounds. But the Giants were out of replay challenges.
Rodgers showed he was back and healthy early on, throwing an 80-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson. After Manning was intercepted by Tramon Williams, Rodgers threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to James Jones on third-and-goal, giving the Packers a 14-0 lead with 1:47 left in the first quarter.
But the Packers' second score seemed to wake up the Giants. After an illegal contact penalty on Woodson gave the Giants a first down at the Green Bay 36-yard line, Woodson slipped in coverage on the next play and Manning found Nicks wide open for a touchdown.
The Packers put together another drive, but Nelson fumbled deep in Giants territory. Manning then threw a jump ball to Mario Manningham, who caught it over Williams and ran in for an 85-yard touchdown to tie the game at 14.
But the Giants made another mistake just before halftime when cornerback Terrell Thomas was penalized for slapping Driver on the helmet after making a tackle. The penalty gave the Packers a first down at the New York 16 just before the 2-minute warning. Kuhn scored on an 8-yard touchdown run two plays later, and the Packers took a 21-14 lead into halftime.

1) I don't like this expensive a car.
Does it mean that I don't like all the cars of that price category?
2) I have been reading a book for the last two months.
May it also mean that I have been reading more than one book?
I also think that way. Why do you think 1 isn't natural?
From google books
1) I don't think that I made this big a fuss for my wedding.
2) "I can't believe he's making this big a deal over $3,000," she said.
3) The truth is, John had never eaten in this expensive a place before.

Basically this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JWY7SU/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk
video game shoots and kills those who arent believers. Its called "Left Behind: Eternal Forces."
I'll post a review by an amazon reviewer named akram khan that pretty much summarizes it:
"The basic premise of this game is that believers roam the New York and kill the unbelievers using Christ sanctioned weapons. The players get to blow areas of the whole city using tanks, kill in the name of the lord and then pray their guilt away and increase their spirits using the special pray button. This game is absurd promotes intolerance and bigotry. If a company in the Middle East / India /China came up with a similar game killing people of other religions who did not convert to Islam / Hinduism / Buddhism, we would all be up in arms with Bill O'Riley, Ann Coulter and Glen Beck decrying the lack of sanity and tolerance in that part of the world. Strangely they seem to have this game their silent nod of approval an example Glen Becks Dec 4 interview with the Jeff Frichner, President, Left Behind Games. Parents should keep their children away from it. If killing is your thrill, I would recommend the World of Warcraft or Half Life as alternatives."
So much for Christians claiming peace, love and tolerance (but we already knew that)!

Moustakas, high school teammate Dominguez reunite
HOUSTON -- Kansas City third baseman Mike Moustakas was reunited with his high school teammate, Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez, Tuesday night.
The two infielders from Chatsworth High in Northridge, Calif., went out to a steakhouse for dinner after the Royals beat Houston 4-2 in the opener of a three-game series.
A friend of Moustakas' father-in-law runs the restaurant and kept it open late for the ballplayers.
It was the first time the two had seen each other since Moustakas' wedding Jan. 4. Dominguez was a groomsman in the wedding.
"We had some good arms and good glove men in that wedding," joked Moustakas. "It was a pretty good group of baseball players walking down the aisle.
Moustakas married his high school girlfriend, Stephanie.
"Matt knew her when we were growing in the Valley and we hung out a bunch together," Moustakas said. "It was cool to be able to have him there with us."
Both players have been struggling at bat this season. Moustakas went 0-for-4 in the game and is hitting just .100. Dominguez, who had one hit in four at-bats, raised his average to .195.
"We talk a little bit about baseball, but mainly from being friends back in the day," said the 25-year-old Moustakas.
They text each other occasionally.
"We're not too good with our phones, so we're not much on the communication," Moustakas said. "If I see he had a good game, I'll text him."
The two friends used to belong to a fantasy NBA league.
"He kicked me out of it," Moustakas said of Dominguez. "I wouldn't set my roster and he didn't like that too much. He wasn't even the commissioner, but he voted against me. I haven't been allowed back since. They keep it serious. I didn't even get invited to the play [in] their football league."

TORONTO -- The cheques are in the mail.
Locked-out NHL players are expected to have the pain of missing their first full pay period offset Wednesday when they receive last season's escrow payment, according to a spokesman for the NHL Players' Association.
Players are due to be returned 7.98 per cent of what they earned last year, plus interest, on the same day they would have received their second paycheque of the 2012-13 season if there hadn't been a work stoppage.
The escrow payments will amount to about $80,000 for every million dollars a player earned -- before deductions. For example, New York Rangers forward Brad Richards will gross approximately $960,000 after being the league's highest-paid player last season.
Under the terms of the expired collective bargaining agreement, NHL players had a portion of their salaries deducted throughout the season and placed into an escrow account. Once the final accounting for a year was completed, which ensured the correct percentage of revenue was paid out in salaries, players were refunded accordingly.
These escrow cheques come at an important time with the lockout set to eliminate another pay cycle. Players also missed a cheque on Oct. 15, but that would only have covered four days of work. The paycheque they would have received Wednesday would have been for a full half-month period.
NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr met with a group of players in Minnesota on Monday night and acknowledged in an interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that some of his constituents are concerned about lost wages that are mounting.
"But that doesn't mean you make a bad agreement because of it," Fehr told the newspaper.
The NHL's labour talks have been on hold since Oct. 18, when the NHLPA countered a league offer with three proposals of its own. Each of those were quickly rejected.
Since then, a league-imposed deadline to play a full season has passed and the NHL cancelled all games through Nov. 30. The Jan. 1 Winter Classic outdoor game is expected to be wiped off the schedule later this week.
Superstorm Sandy forced the NHL to close its New York headquarters on Monday and Tuesday, but deputy commissioner Bill Daly indicated that it didn't affect the bargaining process. However, he added in an email that there was no progress to report on the labour front.

COLCHESTER � Only one out of every five child car seats in Connecticut is used properly, according to Safe Kids, which held a safety clinic Thursday in Colchester.
That was a big reason Safe Kids teamed up with the Chatham Health District, Consumer Reports, state police and The Safety Group to hold the free event in the parking lot at the Troop K barracks.
Technicians certified in how to install child seats were on hand to show parents and caregivers how to choose the right seats and make sure they are properly used. They also used a variety of dolls to simulate babies in the car seats.
�The best way to protect your kids is to put them in the right car seat for their age and size and use those seats correctly on every trip, every time,� Chatham Health District representative Nancy McAuliffe said.
Elizabeth Tiezzi, of Colchester, said that after a lesson that lasted about 15 minutes, she came away with useful information about her new car seat.
�I�m definitely going to show my husband how to do this the right way,� Tiezzi, who is expecting a child, said. �It was very helpful.�
Colchester has two certified car seat technicians, according to Esther Pendola, of The Safety Group, a team of nationally certified child passenger safety instructors based in Waterford.
�There were several people certified in Colchester a few years ago, but you have to be recertified every two years,� she said.
Several employees of Consumer Reports, which has a testing facility in Colchester, were on hand to become certified installers. They�ll use the knowledge to properly install car seats the company uses in its automobile crash tests, Pendola said.
According to state law, infants are required to ride in rear-facing car seats until they are a minimum of 1 year old and weigh 20 pounds. Also, law requires children to be in a booster seat until they reach a minimum of 60 pounds and they turn seven years old.
