Apple Admits Glitch With Verizon iPad 2
Some iPhone owners groused about AT&T's network and longed for the day when they'd be able to use their Apple gadgets on Verizon's network. That day has come, but for a few iPad 2 owners that Verizon service isn't proving to be worry free.
Apple says a "small number" of Verizon iPad 2 customers are experiencing connectivity problems, acknowledging the problem after message boards filled this week with customers complaining they are having difficultly accessing Verizion Wireless's 3G data network.
An Apple spokeswoman says the company is investigating the issue. She wouldn't say how many iPads were affected, or how soon a fix would be sent out. Verizon declined to comment, deferring to Apple.

Riviera ready to rack up shows anew
The Riviera always had a crazy number of show venues for what its room count and location could support. So don't be surprised to learn it's on the way back to hosting seven or eight titles again.
The Riviera always had a crazy number of show venues for what its room count and location could support. So don't be surprised to learn it's on the way back to hosting seven or eight titles again.
"Pawn Stars Live!" a locally generated spoof of the Gold &Silver gang, closes at the Golden Nugget March 29 and reopens at the Riviera on April 21.
By then, the Riviera Comedy Club and two other shows ("Illusions" and "Crazy Girls") will have been joined by "Men The Experience," which becomes the roommate of "Crazy Girls" on March 31, and the twin titles "Forever Doo Wop" and "Forever Motown," which open April 8 in the enclosed Casino Lounge on the main floor.
"I didn't expect to produce this many shows in such a short period of time," says Carlos Reynoso, a partner in the fledgling Red Mercury Entertainment, which agreed last November to manage the Riviera's five venues (counting the lounge).
Red Mercury will produce "Doo Wop"/"Motown" and "Men," while "Pawn Shop" will still be produced by Derek Stonebarger. Still to come, Reynoso says, is an original comedy show — "a new idea that hasn't been done before" — to share the comedy club with the continuing stand-up, and the return of the Riviera's original showroom, the Versailles Theatre.
In better days, the historic showroom hosted Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (separately). But it has been shuttered about five years. During that stretch, Riviera management sought a tenant who would finance a showroom remodeling, but found no takers; something about how if a show closes, you can't take the carpet with you.
Reynoso now says the Riviera owners themselves have invested in upgrades including new carpet and upholstery, and by summer the Versailles could be back in business hosting a rotation of headliners in a format modeled upon the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Red Mercury partner Darin Feinstein previously leased the Rio's showroom, which hosted an oldies show featuring some of the singers who will be part of the "Doo Wop" and "Motown" ventures, including Early Clover, Jerome Jackson and Tonja Foster. As the titles suggest, an overlapping cast will salute two different eras of music at 7 and 9 p.m.
By all superficial evidence such as highway billboards, the Golden Nugget seemed to fully back the "Pawn Shop" spoof that opened in January. But Reynoso says he always wanted that one for the Riviera; he just wasn't quite in a position to sign it when the Nugget beat him to the punch.
The wait may end up in a stronger show though. Now that "Pawn Shop" has been tested in front of audiences, director Troy Heard says he knows what is and isn't working and how to fix it. It will be "a much more clear show" with "a very different feel" that opens at the Riviera, he says.
The new version will dial down the story of how the Harrison family rose to reality-TV fame, and base more of the comedy on the TV format of people coming into the shop to sell strange things. …
On "The Voice," celebrity judges aren't allowed to see what the contestants look like before they hear them sing. But you could have seen Ryan Whyte Maloney at Gilley's inside Treasure Island, unless a mechanical bull ride left you with blurred vision or you were chatting up someone in a really big hat.
Anyway, the singer who worked Gilley's as recently as last summer made it through the blind auditions and onto Team Blake (Shelton) of the NBC talent contest. …
Never can say goodbye? Sean E. Cooper bid farewell to "The Coop Show" on Facebook, announcing that he was moving on from the fledgling variety showcase he started in the early evenings at Sin City Theatre before his usual turn as the comic relief in Luxor's "Fantasy."
But when contacted, Cooper said he and his partners were giving it more thought and might reopen the show he gave up Saturday.
"I don't want to lose it, but I would like to see an audience in the room," he said of the effort that opened in late December, just in time for the winter tourism slowdown.
Cooper and landlord John Padon agree the act has great potential on cruise ships, but Cooper would have to give up "Fantasy" to make that ship sail. Stay tuned. …
Yes you can say goodbye. Eric Jordan Young is leaving the part he created as the singing host and guide of "Vegas! The Show" at the Saxe Theater in the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort. His last show is March 12. …
If you miss Mark Giovi, who sang with the Las Vegas Tenors and in "Bite" before leaving town, he's back for one night as part of a Friday show at the Italian American Club with Genevieve and Bill Fayne. Tickets are $20 for the 8 p.m. show. …
Finally, it would be risky to say Jimmy Mulidore is the most tenured Las Vegan to headline Cabaret Jazz at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts without doing the research. Someone else who moved to Las Vegas in 1957 may have beat him to the punch.
But the point is you can't get more Vegas than Mulidore, who plays Friday and Saturday. He arrived here when he was 19 and never looked back. While most Cabaret Jazz bookings tend to be more "cabaret" than "jazz," Mulidore, now 76, never abandoned the hard-bop saxophone inspired by his hero James Moody and others throughout a career as a showroom player and contractor.
The weekend shows, featuring fellow saxman Eric Alexander and singer Paris Red, come just as 12 albums Mulidore recorded for small labels get a digital reissue through iTunes and other outlets. His written memoir is due next month.

I now understand when people say that having a dog prepares you for parenthood. I'm ready. I am used to never having nice things (this is mostly the cats' fault), the strain on the budget, waking up in the middle of the night, scheduling, and tuition (due to a miscommunication, Bunk attends a Montessori school in Chesterfield County). Now that we have our birth plan down (silent birth in the woods behind a farmers' market), we just need to get the dog ready.
Most new parents say that their dogs adjust beautifully, but Bunk treats everyone as if she's me in 1989 and the world is Donnie Wahlberg. She just gets so excited and I don't trust that she won't knock me over, trample the baby, and then eat three receiving blankets. The best-case scenario is that we do right in training her. First we're working on "stay," then a settle command, then "don't eat three receiving blankets."
Of course top priority is redecorating her room. I'm no Young House Love, but I'm pretty proud of our room makeover for her.

Morgan placed 1st in the 9 year old division for USAG Level 4 gymnasts, and 1st over all age groups, beating out over 100 other competitors. Her team, Legacy Gymnastics placed 2nd, after powerhouse & Olympics training ground, Twin City Twisters, losing 1st place by only .5 points! While gymnasts are judged individually, it is very much a team sport! Training 16-20 hours every week, the teammates are more than teammates, they are like family and provide much needed support in good times and bad. Legacy lives by the maxim T.E.A.M...Together Everyone Achieves More. To paraphrase Nelson Mandela, "True winners are not those that never fail, but those who get back up after failure." In those moments when a gymnasts may fall off the beam or bars, stumble on floor routine or trip while doing vault, which Morgan has done, the teammates' voices yelling, "you can do it" or "you got this" provide comfort and impetus for the gymnasts to keep going! Morgan's parents thank ISM for all the support in allowing her to leave early at times or miss events. Morgan is equally committed to education as she is gymnastics and promised to maintain her A average along with training 20 hours a week. She kept her promise! Way to go Morgan! ISM is very proud of your hard work and perseverance.

CHAPTER I. Eliph' Hewlitt
Eliph' Hewlitt, book agent, seated in his weather-beaten top buggy,
drove his horse, Irontail, carefully along the rough Iowa hill road that
leads from Jefferson to Clarence. The Horse, a rusty gray, tottered in
a loose-jointed manner from side to side of the road, half asleep in
the sun, and was indolent in every muscle of his body, except his tail,
which thrashed violently at the flies. Eliph' Hewlitt drove with his
hands held high, almost on a level with his sandy whiskers, for he was
well acquainted with Irontail.
The road seemed to pass through a region of large farms, offering few
opportunities for selling books, the houses being so far apart, but
Eliph' knew the small settlement of Clarence was a few miles farther
on, and he was carrying enlightenment to the benighted. He glowed with
missionary zeal. In his eagerness he thoughtlessly slapped the reins on
the back of Irontail.
Instantly the plump, gray tail of the horse flashed over the rein and
clamped it fast. Eliph' Hewlitt leaned over the dashboard of his buggy
and grasped the hair of the tail firmly. He pulled it upward with all
his strength, but the tail did not yield. Instead, Irontail kicked
vigorously. Eliph' Hewlitt, knowing his horse as well as he knew human
nature, climbed out of the buggy, and taking the rein close by the bit
led Irontail to the side of the road. Then he took from beneath the
buggy seat a bulky, oil-cloth-wrapped parcel and seated himself near the
horse's head. There was no safety for a timid driver when Irontail had
thus assumed command of the rein. There was no way to get a rein from
beneath that tail but to ignore it. In an hour or so Irontail would
grow forgetful, carelessly begin flapping flies, and release the rein
Eliph' Hewlitt unwrapped the oilcloth from the object in enfolded. It
was a book. It was Jarby's 'Encyclopedia of Knowledge and Compendium of
Literature, Science, Art, Comprising Useful Information on One Thousand
and One Subjects, Including A History of the World, the Lives of all
Famous Men, Quotations From the World's Great Authors, One Thousand and
One Recipes, Et Cetera'. One Volume, five dollars bound in cloth; seven
fifty in morocco. Eliph' Hewlitt passed his hand affectionately over the
gilt-stamped cover, and then opened it at random and read.
For years he had been reading Jarby's Encyclopedia, and among its ten
thousand and one subjects he always found something new. It opened now
at "Courtship-How to Make Love--How to Win the Affections--How to Hold
Them When Won," and although he had read the pages often before, he
found in all parts of the book, whenever he read it, a new meaning.
It occurred to him that even a book agent might have reason to use the
helpful words set for in clear type in the chapter on "Courtship--How to
Make Love," and he realized that sometime he must reach the age when he
would need a home of his own. For years he had thought of woman only as
a possible customer for Jarby's Encyclopedia. Every woman, not already
married, he now saw, might be a possible Mrs. Eliph' Hewlitt.
Suddenly he raised his head. On the breeze there was borne to him the
sound of voices--many voices. He closed the book with a bang. His small
body became tense; his eyes glittered. He scented prey. He wrapped the
book in its oilcloth, laid it upon the buggy seat, and taking Irontail
by the bridle, started in the direction of the voices.
Half a mile down the road he came upon a scene of merriment. In a
cleared grove men, women and children were gathered; it was a church
picnic. Eliph' Hewlitt took his hitching strap from beneath the buggy
seat and secured Irontail to a tree.
"Church picnic," he said to himself; "one, two, sixteen, twenty-four,
AND the minister. Good for twelve copies of Jarby's Encyclopedia or
I'm no good myself. I love church picnics. What so lovely as to see the
pastor and his flock gathered together in a bunch, as I may say, like
ten-pins, ready to be scooped in, all at one shot?"
He walked up to the rail fence and leaned against it so that he might be
seen and invited in. It was better policy than pushing himself forward,
and it gave him time to study the faces. He did not find them hopeful
subjects. They were not the faces of readers. They were not even the
faces of buyers. Even in their holiday finery, the women were shabby
and the men were careworn. The minister himself, white-bearded and
gray-haired, showed more signs of spiritual grace than intellectual
One woman, fresh and bright as a butterfly, appeared among them, and
Eliph' Hewlitt knew her at once as a city dweller, who had somehow got
into this dull and hard-working community. Almost at the same moment
she noticed him, and approached him. She smiled kindly and extended her
"Won't you come in?" she asked. "I don't seem to remember your face, but
we would be glad to have you join us."
Eliph' Hewlitt shook his head.
"No'm," he said sadly. "I'd better not come in. Not that I don't want
to, but I wouldn't be welcome. There ain't anything I like so much
as church picnics, and when I was a boy I used to cry for them, but I
wouldn't dare join you. I'm a"--he looked around cautiously, and said in
a whisper--"I'm a book agent."
The lady laughed.
"Of course," she said, "that DOES make a difference; but you needn't be
a book agent to-day. You can forget it for a while and join us."
Eliph' Hewlitt shook his head again.
"That's it," he said. "That's just the reason. I CAN'T forget it. I try
to, but I can't. Just when I don't want to, I break out, and before I
know it I've sold everybody a book, and then I feel like I'd imposed on
good nature. They take me in as a friend and then I sell 'em a copy of
Jarby's 'Encyclopedia of Knowledge and Compendium of Literature, Science
and Art,' ten thousand and one subjects, from A to Z, including recipes
for every known use, quotations from famous authors, lives of famous
men, and, in one word, all the world's wisdom condensed into one volume,
five dollars, neatly bound in cloth, one dollar down and one dollar a
month until paid."
He paused, and the lady looked at him with an amused smile.
"Of seven fifty, handsomely bound in morocco," he added. "So you see I
don't feel like I ought to impose. I know how I am. You take my mother
now. She hadn't seen me for eight years. I'd been traveling all over
these United States, carrying knowledge and culture into the homes
of the people at five dollars, easy payments, per home, and I got a
telegram saying, 'Come home. Mother very ill.'" He nodded his head
slowly. "Wonderful invention, the telegraph," he said. "It tells
all about it on page 562 of Jarby's 'Encyclopedia of Knowledge and
Compendium of Literature, Science and Art,'--who invented; when first
used; name of every city, town, village and station in the U.S. that
has a telegraph office; complete explanation of the telegraph system,
telling how words are carried over a slender wire, et cetery, et cetery.
This and ten thousand other useful facts in one volume, only five
dollars, bound in cloth. So when I got that telegram I took the train
for home. Look in the index under T. 'Train, Railway--see Railway.'
'Railway; when first operated; inventor of the locomotive engine;
railway accidents from 1892 to 1904, giving number of fatal accidents
per year, per month, per week, per day, and per miles; et cetery, et
cetery. Every subject known to man fully and interestingly treated, WITH
"I don't believe I care for a copy to-day," said the lady.
"No," said Eliph' Hewlitt, meekly. "I know it. Nor I don't want to sell
you one. I just mentioned it to show you that when you have a copy of
Jarby's Encyclopedia of Knowledge you have an entire library in one
book, arranged and indexed by the greatest minds of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. One dollar down and one dollar a month until paid.
But--when I got home I found mother low--very low. When I went in she
was just able to look up and whisper, 'Eliph'?' 'Yes, mother,' I says.
'Is it really you at last?' she says. 'Yes, mother,' I says, 'it's me
at last, mother, and I couldn't get here sooner. I was out in Ohio,
carrying joy to countless homes and introducing to them Jarby's
Encyclopedia of Knowledge and Compendium of Literature, Science and Art.
It is a book, mother,' I says, 'suited for rich or poor, young or old.
No family is complete without it. Ten thousand and one subjects, all
indexed from A to Z, including an appendix of the Spanish War brought
down to the last moment, and maps of Europe, Asia, Africa, North and
South America and Australia. This book, mother,' I says, 'is a gold mine
of information for the young, and a solace for the old. Pages 201 to 263
filled with quotations from the world's great poets, making select and
helpful reading for the fireside lamp. Pages 463 to 468, dying sayings
of famous men and women. A book,' I says, 'that teaches us how to live
and how to die. All the wisdom of the world in one volume, five dollars,
neatly bound in cloth, one dollar down and one dollar a month until
paid.' Mother looked up at me and says, 'Eliph', put me down for one
copy.' So I did. I hope I may do the same for you."
The lady was about to speak, but Eliph' Hewlitt held up his hand
"No," he said. "I beg your pardon. I didn't MEAN to say that. I couldn't
think of taking your order. I didn't mean to ask it any more than I
meant to ask mother. It's habit, and that's what I'm afraid of. I'd
better not intrude."
The lady evidently did not agree with him. He amused her because he was
what she called a "type," and she was always on the lookout for "types."
She urged him to join the picnic, and said he could try not to talk
books, and reminded him that no one could do more than try. He climbed
the fence with a reluctance that was the more noticeable because his
climbing was retarded by the oilcloth-covered parcel he held beneath
his arm. The lady smiled as she noticed that he had not feared his
soliciting habits sufficiently to leave the book in the buggy, and she
made a mental note of this to be used in the story she meant to write
about this book-agent type.
"My name is Smith," she told him, as she tripped lightly toward the
group about the lunch baskets.
Eliph' Hewlitt was a small man and his movements were short and jerky.
He drew his hand over his red whiskers and coughed gently when she
mentioned her name, and as she hurried on before him he looked at her
tall, straight figure; noticed the stylish mode of her simple summer
gown, and caught a glimpse of low, white shoes and neat ankles covered
by delicately woven silk.
"Courtship--How to Make Love--How to Win the Affections--How to Hold
Them When Won," he meditated. "Lovely, but she will not suit. She is an
encyclopedia of knowledge and compendium of literature, science and art,
but she is not the edition I can afford. She is gilt-edged and morocco
bound, and an ornament to any parlor, but I can't afford her. My style
is cloth, good substantial cloth, one dollar down and one dollar a month
until paid. As I might say."
CHAPTER II. Susan
Mrs. Tarbro-Smith had arranged the picnic herself, hoping to bring a
little pleasure into the dullness of the summer, enliven the interest in
the little church, and make a pleasant day for the people of Clarence,
and she had succeeded in this as in everything she had undertaken during
her summer in Iowa. As the leader of her own little circle of bright
people in New York, she was accustomed to doing things successfully, and
perhaps she was too sure of always having things her own way. As sister
of the world-famous author, Marriott Nolan Tarbro, she was always
received with consideration in New York, even by editors, but in seeking
out a dead eddy in middle Iowa she had been in search of the two things
that the woman author most desires, and best handles: local color and
types. The editor of MURRAY'S MAGAZINE had told her that his native
ground--middle Iowa--offered fresh material for her pen, and, intent
on opening this new mine of local color, she had stolen away without
letting even her most intimate friends know where she was going. To have
her coming heralded would have put her "types" on their guard, and for
that reason she had assumed as an impenetrable incognito one-half her
name. No rays of reflected fame glittered on plain Mrs. Smith.
While her literary side had found some pleasure in studying the people
she had fallen among, she was not able to recognize the distinctness
of type in them that the editor of MURRAY'S had led her to believe she
should find. She had hoped to discover in Clarence a type as sharply
defined as the New England Yankee or the York County Dutch of
Pennsylvania, but she could not see that the middle Iowan was anything
but the average country person such as is found anywhere in Illinois,
Indiana, and Ohio, a type that is hard to portray with fidelity, except
with rather more skill than she felt she had, since it is composed of
innumerable ingredients drawn not only from New England, but from nearly
every State, and from all the nations of Europe. However, her kindness
of heart had been able to exert itself bountifully, and she had had
enough experience in her sundry searches for local color to know that
a lapse of time and of distance would emphasize the types she was now
seeing, and that by the middle of the winter, when once more in her New
York apartment, her present experiences and observations would have
the right perspective, and their salient features would stand out more
plainly. So she won the hearts of her hostess, and of the dozen or more
children of the house, with small gifts, and overjoyed with this she set
about making the whole community happier. Little presents, smiles, and
kind words meant so much to the overworked, hopeless women, and her
cheery manner was so pleasant to men and children, that all worshipped
her--clumsily and mutely, but whole-heartedly. She was a fairy lady to
The truth was that, in her eagerness to secure the most vivid kind of
local color, she had gone a step too far. Clarence, with its decayed
sidewalks and rotting buildings, was not typical of middle Iowa any more
than a stagnant pool lift by a receded river after a flood is typical
of the river itself. Before the days of railroads Clarence had been
a lively little town, but it was on the top of a hill, and, when the
engineer of the Jefferson Western Railroad had laid his ruler on the map
and had drawn a straight line across Iowa to represent the course of the
road, Clarence had been left ten or twelve miles to one side, and, as
the town was not important enough to justify spoiling the beauty of the
straight line by putting a curve in it, a station was marked on the
road at the point nearest Clarence, and called Kilo. For a while the new
station was merely a sidetrack on the level prairie, a convenience for
the men of Clarence, but before Clarence knew how it had happened Kilo
was a flourishing town, and the older town on the hill had begun to
decay. Even while Clarence was still sneering at Kilo as a sidetrack
village, Kilo had begun to sneer at Clarence as a played-out crossroads
settlement. Clarence, when Mrs. Tarbro-Smith visited it, was no more
typical of middle Iowa than a sunfish really resembles the sun.
In Clarence Mrs. Smith's best loved and best loving admirer was Susan,
daughter of her hostess, and, to Mrs. Smith, Susan was the long sought
and impossible--a good maid. From the first Susan had attached herself
to Mrs. Smith, and, for love and two dollars a week, she learned all
that a lady's maid should know. When Mrs. Smith asked her if she would
like to go to New York, Susan jumped up and down and clapped her hands.
Susan was as sweet and lovable as she was useful, and under Mrs. Smith's
care she had been transformed into such a thing of beauty that Clarence
could hardly recognize her. Instead of tow-colored hair, crowded back by
means of a black rubber comb, Susan had been taught a neat arrangement
of her blonde locks--so great is the magic of a few deft touches.
Instead of being a gawky girl of seventeen, in a faded blue calico
wrapper, Susan, as transformed by one of Mrs. Smith's simple white
gowns, was a young lady. She so worshipped Mrs. Smith that she imitated
her in everything, even to the lesser things, like motions of the hand,
and tossings of the head.
When Mrs. Smith broached the matter of taking Susan to New York, she
received a shock from Mr. and Mrs. Bell. She had not for one moment
doubted that they would be delighted to find that Susan could have a
good home, good wages, and a city life, instead of the existence in such
a town as Clarence.
"Well, now," Mr. Bell said, "we gotter sort o' talk it over, me an' ma,
'fore we decide that. Susan's a'most our baby, she is. T'hain't but four
of 'em younger than what she is in our fambly. We'll let you know, hey?"
Ma and Pa Bell talked it over carefully and came to a decision.
The decision was that they had better talk it over with some of the
neighbors. The neighbors met at Bell's and talked it over openly in the
presence of Mrs. Smith.
They agreed that it would be a great chance for Susan, and they said
that no one could want a nicer, kinder lady for boss than what Mrs.
Smith was--"but 'tain't noways right to take no risks."
"You see, ma'am," said Ma Bell, "WE don't know who you are no more than
nothin', do we? And we do know how as them big towns is ungodly to beat
the band, don't we? I remember my grandma tellin' me when I was a little
girl about the awful goin's on she heard tell of one time when she
was down to Pittsburg, and I reckon New York must be twice the size of
Pittsburg was them days, so it must be twice as wicked. So we tell you
plain, without meanin' no harm, that WE don't know who you are, nor what
you'd do with Susan, once you got her to New York."
"Oh, I now what you want," said Mrs. Smith; "you want references."
"Them's it," said Mrs. Bell, with great relief.
"Well," said Mrs. Smith, "that is easy. I know EVERYBODY in New York."
She thought a moment.
"There's Mr. Murray, of MURRAY'S MAGAZINE," she suggested, mentioning
her friend of the great monthly magazine.
"Guess we never heard of that," said Mrs. Bell doubtfully.
"Then do you know the AEON MAGAZINE? I know the editor of AEON."
The neighbors and Mrs. Bell looked at each other blankly, and shook
their heads.
Mrs. Smith named ALL the magazines. She had contributed stories to most
of them, but not one was known, even by name, to her inquisitors. One
shy old lady asked faintly if she had ever heard of Mr. Tweed. She
thought she had heard of a Mister Tweed of New York, once.
Then, quite suddenly, Mrs. Smith remembered her own brother, the great
Marriott Nolan Tarbro, whose romances sold in editions of hundreds of
thousands, and who was, beyond all doubt, the greatest living novelist.
Kings had been glad to meet him, and newsboys and gamins ran shouting at
his heels when he walked the streets.
"How silly of me," she said. "You must have heard of my brother,
Marriott Nolan Tarbro, you know, who wrote 'The Marquis of Glenmore' and
'The Train Wreckers'?"
Mrs. Bell coughed apologetically behind her hand.
"I'm not very littery, Mrs. Smith," she said kindly, "but mebby Mrs.
Stein knows of him. Mrs. Stein reads a lot."
Mrs. Stein, whose sole reading was the Bible and such advertising
booklets as came by mail, or as she could pick up on the counter of the
drugstore, when she went to Kilo, moved uneasily. For years she had had
the reputation of being a great reader, and brought face to face with
the sister of an author she feared her reputation was about to fall.
"What say his name was?" she asked.
"Tarbro," said Mrs. Smith, as one would mention Shakespeare or Napoleon.
"Tarbro. Marriott Nolan Tarbro."
"Well," said Mrs. Stein slowly, turning her head on one side and looking
at the spot on the ceiling from which the plaster had fallen, "I won't
say I haven't. And I won't say I have. When a person reads as much as
what I do, she reads so many names they slip out of memory. Just this
minute I don't quite call him to mind. Mighty near, though; I mind a
feller once that peddled notions through here name of Tarbox. Might you
know him?"
"No," said Mrs. Smith, "I haven't the honor."
"I thought mebby you might know him," said Mrs. Stein. "His business
took him 'round considerable, and I thought mebby it might have took him
to New York, and that mebby you might have met him."
Mrs. Bell sighed audibly.
"It's goin' to be an awful trial to Susan if she can't go," she said;
"but I dunno WHAT to say. Seems like I oughtn't to say 'go,' an' yet I
can't abear to say 'stay.'"
"I MUST have Susan," said Mrs. Smith, putting her arm about the girl. "I
know you can trust her with me."

Some parents often neglect the eye health of their kids- they believe that children are unlikely to get any kind of vision problem. However, children also suffer from vision problems of some sort, due to different reasons. Or some parents do not know their kids have any eye problems until their kids complain there is something unusual in their eyes.
If there is any symptom in kids' vision, parents should take them to eye doctors' immediately. The reason is the problem can not only be detected, but also some potential risks can also be predicted through certain eye exams.
Like people in many other groups, kids also get some eye problems easily. For example, most kids love to play wildly and often have their eyes injured; and some eye problems can also be inborn, like lazy eye. Fortunately, most of kid's problems can be well resolved. This is because kids have relatively flexible eyes- their eyes are always in the growing and can rebound to their original state after treating.
However, some vision problems can lead to very serious results if not treated timely. Therefore, it is critical for kids to get regular eye exams. This is much more important for kids who are detected to have some eye problems. And it is also needed for parents to be careful about kids' habits of seeing.
Comparatively speaking, the eye exams for kids are different from that for adult to some extents. This is also why kids are in need of children eye doctors. And during the whole process, only several items will be checked, like the medical history, exam of certain vision errors and so on. Anyway, an early and regular eye exam for kids is essential and critical.

Martial artists are fond of talking about how training has improved their lives and themselves but they are not very good at explaining just how that is so. All the talk about confidence, focus, discipline, commitment, persistence and the like is real enough but it actually undersells the benefits. The Bujinkan arts can be a vehicle for personal development – even when you do not realise it is happening.
A good dojo is a very special place. It's a place of learning. It's also a place where our higher selves are in control. There are etiquette standards about how you should conduct yourself and treat your teacher and training partners. These are standards we must not so much adhere to – but hold ourselves to – whether we find that day's training fun, frustrating, exhilarating, tiring and painful or whether we are happy, sad, tired, angry or stressed. A good dojo is a microcosm of life – a place where you can experience a huge range of emotions in a challenging yet controlled environment.
That means we have to find a way to manage these feelings while continuing to train productively and be at our best. That mirrors what we need to do in many other aspects our lives but the dojo allows us to learn to do this in a safe yet challenging environment.
In a dojo you'll experience the frustration of being unable to perform new skills, the frustration of watching others learn and progress more easily than you, the physical and emotional challenge of picking yourself up off the floor again and again (literally and metaphorically) plus the pain (and shock) of being struck.
But you'll also experience the thrill of learning a technique that you could not do two weeks ago, the joy of rolling effortlessly to your feet after going to the ground and the realization that the strike that hurt you last week was actually no big deal and not something you need to fear in the future and that you can defend yourself.
A dojo also has people of different skills and dispositions. There will be people you love to train with and people you dread training with and people you really don't like training with at all. All of these people are our teacher. You can wonder what it is about that person you find so annoying that you do not enjoy training with them. But you might grow more by asking what is it about you that makes you respond negatively to them.
And then there is the philosophy that runs deep through the Bujinkan arts and this does not refer to the fortune cookie wisdom of Hong Kong kung fu films. It includes learning to value yourself so you can defend yourself, learning to live and move naturally, understanding that limits of strength as a tool, appreciating the moment and the power of taking things as they come.
The longer you train the more aware you become of the huge number of ways training grows us – many more ways than there is scope to explore here,
These are big things, and at times they will feel big, but the really cool thing is that often times the opposite is true – you become so involved in your training that you might not even be aware that they are going on at all. That's why people often struggle to articulate how martial arts have improved their lives even though they know it surely has. For them it has just kind of happened.
It's a kind of magic – the kind that comes from consistent training in a good Bujinkan dojo.

This week on the Gadget Lab show, the gang talks about a few new e-readers hitting the market and what the outcome of the Apple v. Samsung trial means for consumers.
First up, reviews editor Michael Calore and staff writer Roberto Baldwin talk e-reader and tablet news. Amazon is expected to release a new Kindle Fire next week. Sony also released a new touch-based e-reader recently. Compared to other tablets like the Nook and Amazon's yet-to-be announced new offerings, Sony seems to be playing catch up in this space. For instance, although the screen is nice, it has weird artifacting effects that its competitors don't.
Next, staff writer Christina Bonnington joins Mike to talk about the jury verdict in the "patent case of the century," Apple v. Samsung. The jury ruled heavily in favor of Apple, which means we could see increased prices on Android products in the future, and perhaps more smartphone design diversity. But the case is still up in the air in some respects, as Judge Koh can adjust the amount Samsung owes up to 300 percent, and the hearing for Apple's final injunction on Samsung's products won't take place until December.

A Parish School uniform curriculum is needed for a better orientation of the different parish schools to pave the way for equitable participation of all students in the annual Olympics of religion or other religious-themed competitions organized by the Archdiocese.
Our parish school operates in the social hall of the church basement. In the future we will hopefully have special rooms dedicated to this activity, but this depends on the number of children enrolled, and on the volunteer teachers available we could find, within the limits of this Regulation.

Children remain in the specific age group until the end of the school year during which they reach maximum age from the group.
Exceptionally, children who reach the minimum age (four years) between the school year start date and the end of the calendar year may be accepted with the teachers approval.

Since irregular or low classes' frequency (less than 70% of the total number of hours throughout the school year) is prejudicing the child because he cannot benefit from a coherent educational process, and also impede the educational process to other students, the school's Director may decide to exclude a child from school, in consultation with his educators' team.

Rants Of Introversion, Fear, Anxiety and Being Shy
Sometimes I wonder what part of anxiety, fear, introversion or shyness I fit into, that's if I deserve to fit into any of the above…
Let's Personalize it a bit
Many a time and oft, I wonder if going into the light would burn my skin, or was I naturally crafted to shy off forever? Not that anyone cares to kill me when I leave the dark but then, I, without mistake, care too much about what people 'who haven't spared a minute of their time to ponder over me' would think! Staying alone and believing to stay away, so I don't hurt anyone invariably becomes my medicine!
It's baseless how we worry so much about what everyone has got to say about our actions. We believe we can't help but showcase how much we care since our minds have been deeply engraved with the fact that the world is too much for us and facing it will mean getting a death sentence by "The crowd looking deeply into our eyes".
You will prolly read this and wonder "what the heck did she write?" But I want you, while you mull over what I've written to ponder over your numerous fears, the entity that holds you back, the attribute that tells you that your next action will meet a loophole 'failure' and lastly the characteristics that will prevent you from moving or say good bye to fear.
I will always apologize for the fact that I keep blaming introversion for everything! I guess you should too. It's suffered so much from the 'blame game' you enjoy playing. That you are introverted should be a gift, only if you don't force the term on the fact that you are too scared, too shy, to anxious or nervous to be seen among people or contribute in conversions! Kindly leave introversion out of your many 'blame games'.
How about growing old and realizing that you have spent a better time of your live running and hiding?
I surely do not want an oldie me regretting over the mistakes the younger version made.
There is more than just enough time to stick to bravery, boldness and the fact that 'We should not (always) care about what others say'. It's so difficult! I know but that's the only way to quit ranting about 'those' ugly attributes. We are obviously tired of living in a world we don't take charge of but cry because we failed to.

Today after church I had a conversation with a Christian that left me feeling like we were on totally different planets. I've encountered this before and it is of deep concern to me about the state of the church and the need for Christians to have a faith that is biblically based.
The Bible says that as Christians we are called to evangelise and make disciples of all nations. Most Christians are in agreement about this. The thing that many Christians do not agree on is HOW we are to do this. The person I talked with today was convinced that it's not a good approach to use apologetical reasoning with unbelievers when we share our faith - their argument was that we should just rely on the power of God to bring the unbeliever into a power encounter with God.
I agree that much (about 1/3) of Jesus ministry revolved around the miraculous / healing. However, much of his ministry (about the other 2/3) also revolved around teaching and preaching. It's wrong to think that we should rely on one method over another and just focus on miracles, or just focus on showing love. It's not either or, but both. We need to preach the gospel, show love, and pray for unbelievers so that they can encounter God's power.
If you are a Christian - would you become a cult member if a person from a cult prayed for you and you experienced a miracle? I hope not. If you know your Bible you'd know that cults are not biblical. If a cult member was going to deceive you they'd have to not only demonstrate experientially that they knew God, but they'd have to reason with you in order to change your worldview and give you logical answers to dispel your objections. Likewise with unbelievers. Even if they do have a power encounter with God, they are still going to need logical reasons and answers to their objections to Christianity if they are going to embrace the christian faith.
The concern that I have is that not only are many Christians not doing evangelism biblically, but they are also taking an approach to the christian faith that is anti-reason and based on experiential encounters. These encounters may be wonderful and the feelings that accompany them may bring joy. But feelings are not a solid basis for being a Christian. It's a bit like a kid living only on candy floss. If that's all they eat then they'll get sick. We need to have solid reasons why we believe in God. If we do not then we are in danger of being blown around by every wind of doctrine and every false teaching that comes into town.
The ironic thing about Christians that don't believe logic or reason is important in Christianity is that in order to defend their position they attempt to use logic and reason to explain why logic and reason are not important!
A good question for those who say unbiblical things that are based on feelings is 'How do you know that?' Or 'How do you know that is true?' These kinds of questions will expose if they are basing their thinking on fallible human opinions or the truth of God's word.
The Bible teaches us that all Christians are called to love God with all of their minds (Matthew 22:27), and that we are also all called to be ready to give an answer to unbelievers as to why we are Christians. (1 Peter 3:15). We all have different callings and abilities as Christians, but we are all called to evangelism, and evangelism cannot be done without words.
Preaching of the gospel requires words, and when we preach the gospel to unbelievers they will naturally ask us why we believe that. And at that point apologetics comes in. Apologetics is simply giving good reasons why the Christian faith is true. And in order to do that takes study and preparation. I hope that more Christians will share their faith, and prepare themselves with good answers to the skeptical questions that arise.
Finally, we are to speak the truth with love, because whacking people over the head with a Bible isn't going to achieve much. Unfortunately, many Christians have such a negative view of biblical evangelism that they equate preaching the gospel with abusing people. I encourage all Christians to look again at Jesus and how he reached out to people, because we are called to follow Him.

Planned works to Clady Main Street will proceed
Published: 11 March, 2013
Following the postponement of road and footpath improvement works to Clady Main Street which were scheduled to be completed before the end of February, local Sinn Féin councillor Maolíosa Mc Hugh has been pressing Roads Service to ensure that vital works are rescheduled as quickly as possible.
Cllr Mc Hugh said; "From being initially being made aware the road improvement works had not commenced as scheduled, I have been in contact with roads Service to firstly ascertain the reason for this disappointing development but more crucially to ensure that these vital works be rescheduled as soon as practically possible.
"It has transpired that there was an issue with contractor not being able to commence and complete the works in the scheduled timescale and therefore Roads Service had no choice but to postpone the works.
"However, I have been assured by the Divisional Roads Manager that the works will still be proceeding and are now scheduled to commence in April or in May at the latest.
"My party colleague Michaela Boyle MLA has also submitted a 'Priority Written Question' to DRD Minister Danny Kennedy seeking further clarification about the delay that has happened but also seeking to secure a re-enforced recommitment that the works will now be carried out within the rescheduled timeframe.

Baby now back home and safe in Canada
An infant known as "Baby Joseph" is back home with his parents in Windsor, Ontario, after a battle with Canadian courts that threatened his life.
Joseph Maraachli, a 14-month-old boy suffering from a progressive neurodegenerative disease, was ordered by the Ontario Superior Court Feb. 18 to have his breathing tube removed. The Ontario hospital treating him said he had no cranial nerve function and no hope of recovery, so it wanted the tube removed to allow the boy to die.
But, the boy's mother, Sana Nadar, a Catholic, and father, Moe, a Muslim, fought the court order and eventually arranged to have their son transferred to a Catholic hospital in St. Louis, with help from Brother Paul O'Donnell of the Franciscan Brothers of Peace in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Joseph was treated there and stabilized. Eventually, he was able to breathe on his own and the tube was removed.
On Holy Thursday, April 21, he was taken back to Canada and checked out at the Windsor Regional Hospital, then sent home.
"Joseph is at home and he's fine," Brother Paul said. "Mission complete."

19 year's from Josh's passing today. I continue to feel bonded with his dear friends, sharing the immense presence he still has in all our lives.
Loved seeing your note about the ICU Esther...the people caring for him there were wonderful and made us all feel that you truly cared, would do everything possible to keep him with us.
And Bryan, thank you for that memory. It makes me happy to know of each experience, each connection Josh made. Thank you for letting us know about it.
Thank you Dene for keeping this website in such good shape!
Love to you Josh...miss you all the time.
I met Josh way back in 1991 at English Acid in LA. His band opened for The Smashing Pumpkins that night. After his set I had a conversation with him. This was while he and his band were riding high on their self-titled album and all the attention and radio play - if there is ever a time for a musician to be egotistical it is at times like that. Yet he was totally down-to-earth and humble. I was thoroughly impressed. I still remember looking him up many years ago and finding out that he had transitioned. What a blow. And I say this not for his music alone, but stemming from that conversation 27 years ago, as he came across as completely genuine and with ego in check. All this from a ten to fifteen minute conversation.
I know there really is no true death - only a transition. Josh's energy is still here and he is continuing on his spiritual path.
And to Laura, Chad, and Connie: I am sure he is touched by all that you have done.
Josh was my patient in the ICU at UCLA. He was a great kid, even though he was 32. His family was marvelous and so supportive, but devastated. His family gave me his CD, "Felt Like Making A Live Record." I was rearranging my CD's when I came across his.
I listened to it again, and then decided to see what was on the internet about him. I found this page. I will never forget him. He is and Angel, I'm sure.
I did write a paper about Josh, for work. I hope I haven't offended anyone by writing this e-mail. It was written out of love for him.
Esther Netz
Happy Birthday Josh. I will be spending the day at work listening to my Josh Clayton Felt station on Spotify. Looking forward to the two new tracks on the website.
Love and prayers,
Shay G.
Hi. This message may be better suited to Facebook, but I don't use Facebook. Please forgive me! I don't need/expect this to be posted to the public page on your site. I'm just trying to contact the folks running the site.
I write for a music site called Songfacts. The site's niche, as the name implies, is facts about songs. I want to put together a full write up for "Three Strange Days" (at the least).
I'm wondering if there's anyone I could talk to that knew Josh well and had some insight into the song's inspiration, meaning, etc. As well as just as any other interesting stories surrounding it.
It's a terrific tune and I'd love to get a full write up added to the historical record on it. You can see Songfacts by just searching for it (I don't want to include link because I'm afraid it may trigger a spam sensor or something). It's a well-read site for people to research and discuss music in an intelligent and respectful manner, and that's how I'd treat my write-up of the song.
Thank you for your time.
18 years ago today...Josh you're still so vivid to me. Seems like I'm one of the few still hanging out here and not on FB but I'm attached to this place that Josh and Dene made together. Connie has made a home for Josh on FB and I'm very grateful to her. I love you Josh and miss you terribly and think about all we would be sharing if you were on this plane. Love to all Josh's friends and the people in our family who visit here and most especially you Josh.
Hi Laura,
Thank you for continuing to share new music from Josh. Josh's music has moved me more than any other artist and I enjoy getting to discover new music from him.
Hi Josh,
It happened again. I was thinking about you the other day and a beautiful dragonfly zipped by, hesitated a bit, and sped away. Awesome.
Happy Birthday Josh....it's been kind of wonderful and also melancholy listening to lots of old DATs that I transferred looking for songs I haven't heard, or versions that I haven't heard, to share with people who love you, and people who love listening to you. I've had your music running through my head a lot and that's been lovely. Listening to the songs with Chad so he could get the sound the way you'd like it was moving. It was really satisfying to share it today.
I love you...Laura
Hello. I am a freelance music journalist who greatly enjoyed the music of Josh Clayton Felt. Though I never had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Felt, I was, however, fortunate to have corresponded once via email with his dear late mother Marilyn Felt. I had shared a review with her that I had written about his cd "Inarticulate Nature Boy."
At the time, I was on a hiatus from writing for publication. However, I sent the review to Mrs. Felt. It was really sweet and kind that she said that it was "something that I want to keep just for myself." I was very saddened to learn that Mrs. Felt also had passed away some years after dear Josh. I can tell by the plethora of msgs from those who loved Josh Clayton Felt's artistry and humanity that he was indeed a special person—as was his loving mother.
I remembered that today would have been JCF's 50th birthday. The music world lost a tremendously gifted and versatile artist in 2000, as we all know. However, it is heartening to that we still have his music, and for those who knew him well, his memories, to cherish and hold dear for the rest of our lives. I know that Mrs. Felt was an extremely intelligent and accomplished woman as well and will be missed greatly.
Thank you for this welcoming forum. My prayers are steadfast for the Felt (Clayton Felt if I have written that incorrectly, please excuse) family. I thank Mrs. Felt for her kind and gentle nature that spoke volumes just within that email. God bless you all!
Happy Birthday JCF! Thanks for the two new tunes. Can't wait to listen!

I saw josh two times. The first time he and school of fish opened for the divinyls in baltimore. Then soon after I saw school of fish in washinton dc. When the concert was over and everyone was walking out josh jumped of the stage and as he was walking by I told him how great they were and he shook my hand. I bought the tape and that summer i must have listened to those songs a million times. I just wanted to say that even though i didnt really know him, his music voice and songs were incredible.
Happy Birthday Josh. Listened to Spirit Touches Ground today as I biked over Mt. Hollywood. Such a beautiful day. Thanks for hanging with me.
Shay G.
Had pancakes today in a diner on the road between NY and Cape Cod...felt connected to you and all the people who love you and are thinking of you today. Listened to some of your songs in the car. I miss you and love you Josh.
Missing you more than ever today Josh. I had some great moments last night while listening to all your music. I will be playing your songs all day today.
He gives away his power every time he can"
16 years. Difficult to grasp, and yet you are still so present in all of our lives.
"Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form."
― Rumi
Thinking of you today and always.
Josh, every day life is a gift. Your words, sweetheart. And you were my gift. Thank you for being there for me.
Hola¡¡ listening your music, in a small lost town near Mexico City, gracias¡¡
I loved School of Fish, and listen to Spirit Touches Ground frequently.
We miss you Josh.
I was listening to 3 Strange and Human Cannonball....post
Thanks for providing words that grabbed my attention so many years ago. Appreciated the levity your songs inspired. RIP
Saw your beautiful guitar today! Happy Birthday Josh. I love you. Laura

Domestic Violence and Abuse is a crime, and is also a major social problem affecting many families. In 90% of reported Domestic Violence incidents, children have either been present in the same or a nearby room. This has a very bad effect on them.
The Ministry Of Defence has a zero tolerance policy regarding Domestic Violence and Abuse
What is Domestic Abuse?
The Government defines domestic violence and abuse as:
'Any incident of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over, who are, or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. This can include, but is not limited to, the following types of abuse:
- psychological
- physical
- sexual
- financial
- emotional
Family members includes mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, and grandparents, whether directly related, in-laws or stepfamily.
How does it affect children?
Children who witness, intervene in, or hear incidents of Domestic Abuse are affected in many ways. What can be guaranteed is that children do hear, see, and are aware of abuse in the family. Children will learn how to behave from the examples parents set for them. Domestic violence teaches children negative things about relationships and how to deal with people. For instance:
- Violence can affect children in serious and long-lasting ways.
- Domestic violence may teach children to use violence.
- Where there is domestic violence there is often child abuse.
- Children will often blame themselves for domestic violence.
- Alcohol misuse is very common contributing factor when violence occurs in families.
- It can teach them that violence is an acceptable way to resolve conflict.
- They learn how to keep secrets.
- They learn to mistrust those close to them and that children are responsible and to blame for violence, especially if violence erupts after an argument about the children.
Effects upon children
- Feeling frightened.
- Becoming withdrawn.
- Bedwetting.
- Running away.
- Aggressiveness.
- Behavioural difficulties.
- Problems with school.
- Poor concentration.
- Emotional turmoil.
- A lack of respect for the non-violent parent.
- Loss of self-confidence, which will affect their ability to form relationships in the future.
- Being over-protective of parent.
- Loss of childhood.
- Problems at school.
- Running away.
Why don't victims of Domestic abuse just leave?
Many people find it difficult to understand why people remain in or return to abusive, violent situations. A combination of fear, love, the risk of homelessness and financial issues can make it very difficult for partners with children to leave and some may not want to.
What can I do?
- Domestic Violence and Abuse is a crime. Never hesitate to call the Military Police who can help you. They can also put you in touch with other people who can help you with safety planning, housing issues, and drug or alcohol problems. They can also give you details of legal advisors who can assist you with the legal side of things.
- If you are female and feel reluctant to speak to the police, we recommend you call Women's Aid which is an independent charity run by women to help other women. They can offer you practical and emotional support, or help you find emergency refuge accommodation in the United Kingdom if you are escaping abuse.
Emergency Numbers
In the case of an emergency the Military Police have the following dedicated emergency numbers, which will be answered 24 hours a day. Never hesitate to use them if you feel unsafe: they will always respond to your emergency call.
- Paderborn – 79 2222 (From a civilian telephone: 05254 98 2222)
- Gütersloh – 73 2222 (From a civilian telephone: 05241 84 2222)
- BFG Crimeline: 0800 184 2222 (from anywhere in Germany)
Non-Emergency Numbers
For non-emergencies you can contact your local Military Police Station on the following numbers:
- Paderborn: 79 - 2223 (From a civilian telephone: 05254 98 2223)
- Gütersloh: 73 - 3454 / 3457 (From a civilian telephone: 05241 84 3454 / 3457)

Yesterday I attended the Software Craftsmanship 2009 conference held at the BBC media centre in London. Overall, it was a great day with some really interesting sessions covering a wide variety of topics. It was especially interesting to share ideas and experiences with developers from different backgrounds using different languages and platforms.
The first session I attended was Pitfalls in Test Authoring with Dave Cleal and John Daniels from Syntropy. This session was an open discussion on identifying test anti-patterns. Some really good points were raised and the discussion was very open and frank. There was some debate on whether unit tests should ever hit the database and what the scope of a unit test should be. This discussion later led to an open spaces talk on functional (integration) testing versus unit testing.
The next session I attended was Gojko Adzic's talk on Specification Workshops. Gojko gave an excellent presentation on running workshops for the whole team to discuss the requirements for an iteration. One point that stood out for me was that the workshop should focus on what the software needs to do and not how to do it.
Over lunch I had a good chat to some java developers on why we should minimize code comments and the use of NOJOs ("Non Object-oriented Java Object", or DTOs to us .NET developers). I also had a chance to catch up with some ex-BBC colleagues who were attending the conference.
After lunch I went to a session on Responsibility-Driven Design with Mock Objects by Willem van den Ende and Marc Evers. This was a live pair-programming session developing a text-based adventure game using RSpec and Ruby. The tests were focused on object collaboration rather than state. It was really interesting to see the use of mock objects in Ruby. I also found the focus on pure mocking for testing object collaboration to be very different from using mock objects to simply replace dependencies.
The next session was Empirical Experiences of Refactoring in Open Source by Steve Counsell from Brunel University. Steve presented his findings on the use of refactoring in open-source software. His findings were interesting but I was left a bit confused by what the results of the study meant for software teams. I would be interested to learn more about the conclusions of the study.
The final session I attended was on Test-driven Development of Asynchronous Systems by Nat Pryce. Nat gave a good talk on his experiences with end-to-end testing of asynchronous systems.
We finished the day with a tour of the BBC Television Centre and a few beers in the bar upstairs. A few of us got to see Jonathan Ross recording his Friday night show and apparently U2 were guests. Unfortunately we didn't bump into Bono, but we did get to have a photo with a TARDIS.
All in all it was a great day and I would like to thank Jason Gorman for organising this excellent event.

There aren't many grander settings than Peckforton Castle and no one dresses it quite like Red Floral Architecture, so Gemma & Neil's wedding was off to a wining combination, couple that with our friends; Chris & Claire from Chris Hanley Photography and it was a wonderful day all round. My favourite part of the day was the fact that not only did they have us and Chris Hanley Photography capturing the day forever, but they had Stuart Barkley The Wedding Painter, painting a scene in the Drawing Room during the wedding breakfast, which he presented to them just before the speeches, what a great idea!
