wedding planner -the beginning
as some of you might have ascertained, i'm getting married. when i started scheming this whole fete up, i envisioned, napa in november. beautiful rich espresso colors, deep grapes, creamy linen, with a bit of olivey-citron thrown in for the joozsh.
sun setting over a vineyard with a long farm table covered in greefe's "lichtfield resist" fabric.
urns with tumbling loose (way looser than this, uptight bunch) arrangements. good friends, family. the whole dealio.
at my request, sfgirlbybay sent me names of great letter press designers, stylecourt sent me some fabulous pictures. she even gave me terminology for what i was trying to achieve, 'sophisticated farmhouse'. and my fabulous friend, landscape designer and blogger, robyn (aka gardenrooms) offered to help with the flowers.
super fun to create, and yea to the nay sayers, maybe impossible to make happen, as it was right around the corner. then the whole plan changed. a dear friend and business partner of my S.O. came to us with an amazing offer and gift. have the wedding, at her home! on the beach! in mexico! my god. we would be idiots to say no! who gets this opportunity! saying yes, immediately, we rescheduled the whole event for spring and i started to reinvent the program. first up: 'save the dates' there are a million incredible lines of stationary out there. a million. it's hard to choose. i like the fun, letterpress look. but honestly, a lot of it, is too goofy. (ok, whimsical) normally, i'm the mrs. john l. strong type. but i wanted something a bit more modern, and unconventional. i looked at about 14 different books with letterpress. loved a lot of them. but i was looking for something traditional, enchanting -yet, youthful and hip (like us.) i found exactly what i was looking for with 'louella press' (none of these are the actually pattern i chose, i'll reveal that later)
the design i chose? i love it. it says mexico to me, but very stylized and not in an, in your face, donkey-painted-like-a-zebra-wearing-a sombrero- mexico.
on second thought.....

i can totally make that-and so can you!
do it yourself headboards are some of the most satisfying home design projects. most of these are super easy to recreate. a little fabric a couple of doors even a random woven blind .
this is so easy to do, upholstered headboard. using mdf (medium density fiberboard) a jigsaw, trace and cut. when done, tack on some batting and your favorite fabric attaching to the back with a staple gun. got that? tools: jigsaw, staple gun and scissors. if you get bored with it, you can change out the fabric.this one's for all of you l.a. hippy diy-ers. a bohemian twist, using a piece of fabric (that looks like you got it from pier1 circa 1979) tack it to the wall behind the bed and take a bong hit. this one works so well because of the medallion pattern. now just pop in that "rumors" 8 track and your all good.
a woven shade as a headboard. um. ok. but only if you're in college or under 22. otherwise. really? no. makes my nose itch looking at it.this one is from my house. as usual, i took this shot, without proper styling or a concept of how to photograph a low-lit room. this room is tiny. something like 10x15. using two alder wood doors, stained ebony (using minwax stain) i bolted these, one on top of the other to create 'drama'. for a room lacking in personality or design detail and little room for much more than a bed, this worked beautifully.
here's, apt therapy blog writer, jonathan's version that is admittedly, way cooler: 'We stained two large plain closet doors, attatching them together with metal brackets. Before mounting it, we spaced it off the wall a few inches with a 2x4. Then mounted it to the 2x4 with velcro. We placed two small fluorescent strip lights behind to give it a glow. Overall, it gives a nice "boutique hotel" feel." ok, but mine took like an hour to make. here's another version of the same idea.( i'd lose the thing at the foot and the column, and the chandelier) actually, this looks like it came from a european design mag. all of these images, including mine, came from apartment therapy

weego home
sometimes living in L.A. has its perks; proximity to beautiful beaches and mountains, great people watching, amazing weather and superb shopping. however, it seems to be a place where store proprietors feel it's ok to charge rather ridiculous prices for pieces that, if found say, oh, in the midwest would be half these prices. charles stool, philppe starck, $272.00 each (i sort of get this)
roxy stool, $725 (welcome to l.a.)
open framed mirrors $550 each (this doesn't kill me, but they look more like 2 fitty)
mademoiselle chair $784 (pearl river + ikea) rex shelving unit $2,315
i don't know maybe it's just me. but i'd much rather spend a few Gs on a great antique at auction. oh and these are all from weegohome.com, which overall, has some really nice pieces. i'm just not sold on their price tags.

tiny aviary and how birds once scared the b-jeezuz out of me.
once when i was about 7 my best friend mary anne flatley and i were playing at a church near my house. i jumped down into a window well, landing on something soft. i looked down to find i was standing, barefoot, on a, huge, dead, mccaw parrot (believe me, i was thinking the same thing, 'what the hell?). and i was not going to be able to get myself out. terrified, i begin to claw at the walls screaming for mary anne to run and get my sister. i don't even remember what happened next. (i got out obviously) but the phobia of birds began at that point. (try living in a city, with flighty gangs of pigeons at every turn. urban nightmare) eventually, i got over this fear. and in fact, now, i love birds and i love a good piece of bird art. i even collect little vintage saucers, figurines and art off of ebay or where ever.
i found these bird pieces at the flea last summer. (i will say, i hesitated with the mc caw)
so when i ran across chicago illustrator, diana sudyka and her beautiful little blog, 'the tiny aviary' i was thrilled to be introduced to all ranges of bird art.
not to mention her own gorgeous work. i love, love this one, it truly is 'stellar'
and of course, like all good industrious artists, she has an etsy shop. check out her blog too. it's funny, these days i find birds so beautiful and even peaceful. they sing, they move beautifully, they're (design wise) amazing creatures sort of god's example of, industrial design perfection. and what of that dead mccaw? well it turns out an old retired doctor, who lived near the church had several. one day, the maid opened the window and this bird flew out, subsequently meeting its demise in that window well. *i know there's some moral message, in this around living with your fears or finding beauty in your fears. but i'm just not that introspective today.

lighten up.
kitschy, whacky or elegant. a small collection of novel lighting ideas. walteria living $149.00 kitschy "Carlos" , a small porcelain night light apparently just back from the vet. what's cuter (in that pathetic way) than an elizabethan collar? not snappy or yippy, carlos, emits warm glow when lit. something about this, cereal bowl light, reminds me of late night college guys coming home from the bars and eating their midnight snack, in the dark, while channel surfing. from wanderlust designs. available in seven different bowl colors, orders can be customized by contacting designer Chris Haines directly. The Cereal Bowl Light is $90 from Etsy and a beautiful piece of sculputure posing as a light fixture. this shouldn't even be in the same category as the above. "shoal" by artist scabetti manages to be beautifully delicate with hundreds of small, finely cast, bone china fish swimming around the central light source. Scabetti.

Inner frame within Viewpane
I seem to have acquired a frame within a frame with the numbers 254:165 in the top left-hand corner.
I feel it must have something to do with 4.5; don't ask me why but just a feeling!
I would like to know where it came from but, more importantly, how to get rid of it.
I can't find anything about it in the "Manual".
This has been reported as a bug. You need to go into Render Settings, and change the setting to Active Viewport.
nitehawk_ltd Posts: 372
This "bug" has been around since DS 1.8.
As he said, the fix is to reset your view port.
There was no bug for me in DS2, DS3 or the earlier versions of DS4, this is a new thing in 18.104.22.168.
I'm in 126.96.36.199 Pro and the error is there. I think it's a 4.5 thing generally.
Thanks for the suggested fixes, people. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to stay fixed.
atticanne Posts: 2,995
It doesn't stay fixed for me either.
You have to do that each time you run DS 4.5 for the moment. Boring I know, but I only need to do it once a day.
I suppose I could learn to love it ... particularly if I could uncover the secret of fixing a selected smiley to my post!
Just click on 'Smileys' and then click on the smiley you want:
:coolmad: :PUntitled-1.jpg920 x 638 - 66K
:-) so it does; now why couldn't I do that before? :lol::cheese::);-)

No letdown for Panthers in 72-40 Cascades victory
If the Addison High School boys basketball team was worried about a letdown after a big conference win last week, they didn't have to worry too long.
The Panthers jumped all over Cascades Conference foe East Jackson from the opening tip and cruised to a 72-40 victory over the visiting Trojans Thursday night.
Addison scored the first 10 points of the game and led 23-4 after just one quarter.
"It was good for us to come out of the gates," coach Andrew Kubish said. "We came off a big game against Napoleon last Thursday, and we wanted to make sure we came out with the same kind of intensity. We stress getting up for every game that way."
Addison's early defensive intensity forced East Jackson into seven turnovers in the first quarter, and the Trojans seemed to pay for every single one of them. Often the beneficiary on the offensive end of the floor was 6-foot-11 center Luke Meyer, who delighted the crowd with a few early dunks in transition.
"If we get out and run, we're a much better team," Kubish said. "Especially when Luke's the one finishing on the end of those.
"We are also pretty long, so we get our hands in a lot of passing lanes and we cause a lot of deflections."
Meyer finished with 20 points, 14 of which came in the first quarter. He also added eight rebounds.
East Jackson was able to chip a couple of points off the Addison lead in the second quarter, but any thoughts of a comeback were immediately extinguished when the Panthers opened the second half with a 10-2 run.
An East Jackson timeout did nothing to quell the Panthers' momentum, as Addison followed it with another 10-2 run and opened up a 33-point advantage with 2:21 remaining in the third quarter.
Tyler Corbin acted as somewhat of a closer for the Panthers, scoring 15 of his 18 points in the second half.
"Tyler got hot in the second half and hit quite a few of those mid-range jumpers when he was running the point for us," Kubish said. "It was good to see him knock down that many jumpers and have a game like he did."
Gabe Guerra scored 11 points, Jarrett Flynn added nine, and Bryce Glazier had six points and five assists for Addison (2-0, 2-0 Cascades).
Darianne Harrell scored 13 points to lead East Jackson (0-4, 0-2).
The Panthers will take a short hiatus for holiday break before jumping back into action Dec. 27 at the Siena Heights Holliday Tournament.

Skip to comments.Gore's Son Given Probation on Marijuana Charge
Posted on 02/02/2004 2:14:36 PM PST by Wolfie
Gore's Son Given Probation on Marijuana Charge
Rockville, Md. -- Albert Gore III will have to complete a substance abuse program under an agreement approved Monday by a judge presiding over a marijuana possession case against the son of former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore.
Montgomery County District Court Judge Mary McCormick put Albert Gore III's case on an inactive docket for a year, at which point the case will be dropped if Gore meets certain requirements.
Those include submitting to 12 weeks of urine testing, community service and substance abuse counseling sessions. Gore also can't have a criminal conviction during that year.
Gore, who did not comment after the brief hearing, was accompanied by his mother, Tipper Gore, who did not comment other than saying the issue was a "private matter."
A student at Harvard University, Gore, 21, was arrested Dec. 19, 2003 in Bethesda after an officer pulled him over for driving a Cadillac without its headlights on. The officer smelled marijuana and noticed the windows of the car were open despite frigid temperatures.
A search of the Cadillac turned up a partial marijuana cigarette, a cigarette box with suspected marijuana in it and a crushed soda can that smelled like marijuana.
Gore was charged with marijuana possession, as were the two passengers in the car, Yann V. Kumin, 21, and Marc G. Hordon, 22, both of Cambridge, Mass. All three were released before trial.
Hordon and Kumin will also have their cases placed on the inactive docket and undergo the same treatment program as Gore, according to Montgomery County State's Attorney Douglas Gansler.
He said there was no favoritism shown Gore because of his family's political stature. The substance abuse diversion program is standard for first-time drug offenders, he said.
"Regardless of who the defendant is ... we treat them in the exact same way," Gansler said.
The younger Gore has been pulled over by police two other times in recent years. He was ticketed by military police in September 2002 outside Fort Myer in suburban Virginia for driving under the influence.
North Carolina police also cited Gore in the summer of 2000 for driving 97 mph in a 55-mph zone. Charges against him were dropped under an agreement with prosecutors, but he had to pay a $125 ticket and had his driving privileges suspended in the state.
Reportedly this isn't his first drug offense.
In other words, just like Noelle Bush.
No argument there. For one thing, it can't search for words having less than 4 letters.

Difference between revisions of "Ko Lipe"
Revision as of 08:10, 28 June 2012
Ko Lipe (Thai: เกาะหลีเป๊ะ) is an island on the Andaman Coast of Southern Thailand.
Ko Lipe (sometimes spelled Koh Lipe) is outside of the jurisdiction of Tarutao National Park, and as such is exempt from certain laws prohibiting development.
The island is home to about 500 Chao Ley, or Sea Gypsies, who were given a grant to half of the island and live in small villages, predominantly around the far east side of the island near Sunrise Beach. The name "Ko Lipe" means "Paper Island" in the local Chao Ley language.
According to a December 2008 report by the Sustainable Tourism Network, Ko Lipe is faced with numerous environmental problems, including destruction of wetlands, waste disposal, and water shortgages.
Get in
By Boat
The following companies operate boats in the high season (November to May):
The company also operates a daily speedboat to/from Hat Yao Pier in Trang, leaving Ko Lipe at 10:00am and arriving in Trang at 12:30pm. The trip costs 750 baht. The company offers continuing boat service to Ko Lanta (1,500 baht total, arrives 3:30pm), and Phi Phi (1,800 baht total, arrives 5:00pm). For the journey to Ko Lipe, the boats leave Phi Phi at 8:00am and arrive in Ko Lipe at 3:30pm.
In the low season, there is one boat per day from Pak Bara leaving at 11:30.
Ferries are met by longtail boats offering transfers to anywhere on Ko Lipe for an additional 50 baht/person (non-negotiable).
Health and Safety tip: Please be aware that the speedboats can often bounce off the waves at very high speeds and passengers can get quite strong jolts into the non-sprung seats, so persons with back or neck problems should not travel on the speedboats but on the ferry. There have been reports of serious back injuries happening on the speedboats. (Warning: Any person removing this notice must be willing to take moral and legal responsibility for any subsequent accidents that may happen)
Get around
All of Ko Lipe can be covered on foot, although its size at first can be a little deceiving. There are few motorcycles around the island, none of which are for rent. There are no cars on the island. Longtail boats will take you from any point on the island to any other point on the island for 50 baht. Small concrete roads link the various beaches.
The reefs around Ko Lipe are largely intact; the 2004 tsunami had little impact here. Around Ko Lipe are some Thailand's best reefs all within easy reach:
Dive shops
There are several dive shops on the island:
Other activities
There is no ATM on Ko Lipe. The internet cafe along the main street will change travellers cheques at a reasonable exchange rates. You can have your your VISA or Mastercard charged in exchange for cash back at Varin Resorts (7% fee), Pooh's (8% fee), and an internet cafe near Ko Lipe Travel on the small road (5% fee). Bundhaya Resort offers the best exchange rates for Dollars, Euro, Pounds or Ringgit, however, the rate is less than you would receive in a major city.
Most of the hotels serve food and drinks. In addition, there are several stand-alone restaurants:
Most of the hotels serve food and drinks. In addition, there are several stand-alone bars:
Pattaya Beach
Sunrise Beach
Karma Beach
Sunset Beach and Bila & Sanom Beaches
Fishing is illegal near the island so stay away from fishing trips and do not purchase locally-caught fish.
Stay safe
The Chao Lay village has a small medical clinic. Since beginning 2011 there are now 4 doctors at the hospital and can treath all of the diseases. For emergency they will provide first aid and organize transport to the mainland hospital. The phone number of the hospital is 0854543814 (english speakting doctor).
Please also note that stonefish have been spotted and photographed in the waters of Koh Lipe. Whilst the chances of getting stung are slim, you may want to consider protective footwear when swimming in the water.
Get out
Sometimes Lipe seems to be trying to hold onto you. Consider this - especially if you have a flight to catch.
There are quite a few travel agencies on the island, all offering you to book the speedboat/ferry and train/bus tickets, that can get you literally anywhere in Thailand. They operate in collaboration with mainland agencies in Hat Yai or Trang, two usual places to take the bus or train from. The mainland agencies are buying the tickets right on the railway stations, and those close at 6PM. It's best to come to travel agency at the island before that time, since they won't be able to book your ticket later. If you reserve the ticket afterwards, they will try to buy it the other day, but the train may be fully booked. It's better to insist on them reserving the ticket as you are at the agency, as they happen to postpone it at times, which may result in not getting the ticket again.
For the trains it's better to book at least 3 days in advance, for most buses one day ahead is enough. Buses are less comfy and more expensive though (comparing to the 2nd AC sleeper class trains).
Feel free to bargain - travel agencies can't do anything about the train/bus price, but they are able to lower the ferry/speedboat price as well as the minibus transfer from port to the city.

Freaks 4U Gaming sets new viewer records for German live broadcasts in League of LegendsThe League of Legends World Championship Season 4 ended just last weekend, however the magical veil that shrouds our minds and softens our disbelief at breaking a record – again – lingers on.
Over the past four weeks our famous caster duo, Maxim "LRSB" Markow and Patrick "Perrick" Reinholz, produced the live broadcasts of the thrilling matches between the world's top tier League of Legends teams and were on air from an ungodly hour throughout, especially from a gamer's point of view. Despite the rather rough schedule for the European time zone we were rewarded with record-breaking viewing figures on our stream. Over the entire course of the tournament the stream was visited more than 2.5 million times, from which around 300,000 video plays were recorded solely on the day of the finals. On the same day almost 130,000 people followed our show on Twitch. With the support of the German League of Legends scene we even broke another record and reached more than 18,500 concurrent viewers. These are the largest figures that have ever been recorded for a German League of Legends stream. In September, Maxim peaked at 10,000 concurrent viewers, which was already an internal record for our company.
The production took place in our studio that recently received an update to become a cozy, living room setting.

"You won't hear a word against him from his constituents", said the woman opposite. "If there's a death in the family, he'll be there"."Either side? Catholic or protestant?" I queried.I wanted to go to church on the Sunday. To see the last few ladies in mantillas in the Catholic churches, to see the Iris Robinson Presbyterians writhing on the floor and speaking in tongues.
"Yes", she nodded "Catholics too. He's the most extraordinary constituency politician in the world". She said 'in the world' loudly to make sure I knew she meant precisely that.
The journalist next to me recounted how she, along with 3000 others, attended his last sermon on January 27th this year. "He was so frail. They heaved him to his feet. He started weakly but then got his... blood up... the voice got stronger. He's fire and brimstone, the kind of preacher they don't make anymore. All the ladies wore hats, like at a wedding, or Ascot, but in black."
It's strange to be in a country where God and his team colours, be they orange or green, matter so very much. You have to watch yourself. The tourist must resist the rude urge of wanting to ask each soul: "Catholic or proddie?". People from there just know, from the accent (the pronounced 'h' or not), the name, the part of town they came from, probably other clues.
I was pulled up for calling everything by the wrong name. Ireland or Eire is 'The Republic'. 'Northern Ireland' is acceptable terminology, although 'Ulster' probably isn't. Saying 'The Union' is counter-intuitive because it doesn't mean union between Northern and Southern Ireland, it means the union of six British counties. Do not say 'mainland' either when talking about the larger island looming next door.
Around the table that night I also cupped my ear to the variety of accents from Belfast to Donegal and Cork (which sounded almost German, although some linguists say it is the nearest relic of Elizabeth English). This small island has so many voices.
Today, at the George Best (Northern Irish, Protestant, did ye know?) Belfast City airport sells green shamrocked 'Irish' souvenirs rather than British flags and postcards of 'No surrender' murals.
Belfast isn't, with the best will in the world, pretty. But it is interesting. Conflict and disaster are part of the Belfast brand, you can do taxi tourism of former hot spots and the Titanic was built here. Fifteen years ago, you had to pass army check points to go shopping downtown. People didn't go out and the habit of staying local hasn't quite dissipated.
I stayed with my hosts, Clare and Siobahn, in their beautiful home in North Belfast, an 'interface' area. While West Belfast is predominantly Catholic and East Belfast is loyalist, North Belfast is mixed: catholic and protestant live cheek by jowl, a patchwork delicately negotiated by knowledgeable inhabitants. I tried to walk up to the Antrim Road, bent against the freezing rain, following Google maps on my iphone. Google maps, however, does not take into account 'peace walls'; walls of hoardings, a large proportion of which have been put up since the Good Friday peace agreement, designed to cut off one community from the other, one even splitting up a local park. Getting closer and realising the pedestrian gate was locked, I sighed and turned back to the main road.
"How do I get to the Antrim Road?", I asked a young man. "There's a peace wall up ahead so I can't go down that way"."Aye, it's to keep the scum out", he winked. "Best take a taxi".'What type of scum would that be?' I thought, but didn't dare ask.I was in a Catholic pub, it turns out, eating Cheese and Onion Tayto crisps and sipping a snail drawn pint of Guinness to a background of 'Dirty ole Town'. I was the only woman in there.
On the Antrim road, I dried off in a corner pub. "Are you ok?", texted Clare. "You aren't in the UDA pub down the road are you?"
Red Currant supper club is run by three good friends; Clare, Siobahn and Justin. Clare bakes her own bread (every two days, "my mummy taught me"), butter comes from a local dairy, vegetables are often from their own plots. Siobahn Craig runs community gardening project Grow, which is how she met Justin Nicholl, a local father who is bringing up three boys while his wife works as a teacher. Despite the prejudices of fundamentalist Christians prevalent in Northern Ireland, who insist that being gay can and should be 'cured', there are at present only two supper clubs in Belfast and they are both run by lesbians who love gardening. This is pure coincidence, they don't even know each other.
Sarah who used to host Plot15 (named after their allotment) with her female partner but they separated and she now runs Studio 37 supper club . Her new partner, Dawn is the sister of James of @cakesbyjames who trained with Bea Vo of Beas of Bloomsbury; they both run the excellent walk up bakery/tea room in the centre of Belfast.

365 days after she was gone, I took off my wedding ring to see what my hand would be like to be without it. Single.
The skin of my finger had grown thick around it, hugging the ring and, when I tugged and cajoled the three interlocked gold Cartier bands off, the knuckle was distorted and misshapen.
The next night I had a dream that Patti asked me where my ring was. I told her a lie to explain. I don't remember the details, just the feeling.
A week later my ring finger looks normal again but on closer inspection the skin is paler, softer, and the outline is still faintly there. But only I can see it.

...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.
This is something I have been pondering for a while now. Most Orthodox Christians portray martyrdom as being like the highest honor or responsibility ever that some Christians are faced with. And that if we or anyone for that matter were ever in a position like that, martyrdom is always the route that we must take.But this does not make sense to me entirely. What if it would be more beneficial for people in the long run if that person in question remained alive opposed to being martyred at that moment? Like, for example, what if that person was a really intelligent, gifted theologian or something who would benefit the Church more by continuing to live so that he could devote himself to writing and theology, or if the person in question was a really important Bishop or Priest whose flock really depended on him and needed him to shephard them. How is it that martyrdom is really the correct path for them? Wouldn't it be better for them to deny Christ in words only, that way they could be freed and continue to serve Him rather than just end it all right there and never reach their true potential for the Church?
Anyone can be martyred and I do not understand why people who have been gifted in other ways should throw their godly gifts and potential away just to make a statement with their death. I mean, take St. Athanasius or St. Gregory of Nyssa for example. Both were some of the most intelligent, theologically gifted and influencial figures in the Church of all time. But if they had been martyred early on in their lives, then we never would have understood the Incarnation or distinction between God's essence and energies in the way that we do now because of them. Our whole Christology could have been a mess and millions of people could have been led astray with false teachings about Christ if these people (At least Athanasius) had been martyred early on. Is it really worth sacrificing all of this just to make a statement with your death and maybe convert a couple people who happened to be present opposed to the millions of people who would have been aided and saved from false teachings if they had denied martyrdom?
And on the other hand, don't get all pumped up about martyrdom like Origen did in his youth, according to legend.
St. Athanasius fled for his life, but he didn't deny Christ. If you can't face martyrdom then flee, but don't give in and deny your Lord and Savior.
And FWIW, these are our Fathers too, you know.
Quote from: Asteriktos on August 15, 2012, 05:55:43 PMSt. Athanasius fled for his life, but he didn't deny Christ. If you can't face martyrdom then flee, but don't give in and deny your Lord and Savior. First you have to flee, but if there is no other alternative...

Of course, Jill Barklem's artwork is so amazing! A beautiful way to display more of her lovely Brambly Hedge illustrations is on a duvet! Brambly Hedge has been a very important part of our family for many years. We are grateful for Jill every day. (The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 has nothing to do with the artwork-- I really don't like the fabric that Fine Art America used for the duvet. It feels terrible. I would've liked a nice cotton or flannel.)

LOS ANGELES — Police are looking for two men in connection with the killing of a 19-year-old Canadian woman found savagely stabbed to death in 1969 near the site of the most notorious Manson family killings in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Police Department released sketches of the men Friday based on an interview with a witness in Montreal, Canada, in July.
The sketches show how the men would have looked in 1969, when 19-year-old Reet Jurvetson's body was found stabbed 150 times in the upper torso and neck.
Jurvetson, who wasn't carrying identification, became known as Jane Doe No. 59 until detectives finally identified her last year using DNA from her sister, who had recognized a photo of the young woman's body posted online.
The Montreal witness told detectives about meeting Jurvetson and a man known as either "John," or the name's French pronunciation, "Jean," at a cafe in Montreal in 1969. The witness helped detectives draw a sketch of the man and an associate of his who may go by the same name.
Jurvetson's sister, Anne Jurvetson, said in a statement in April that her free-spirited and naive sister moved to Los Angeles in 1969 after becoming smitten with a man named John.
Detectives also revealed Friday that Anne Jurvetson had recently found a postcard of the California coast that her sister wrote to their parents on Oct. 31, 1969, two weeks before her death.
It read: "The weather is nice and the people are kind. I have a nice little apartment. I go frequently to the beach. Please write to me. Hugs, Reet."
The postcard, the last Jurvetson's family would hear from her, was sent from an apartment in Hollywood.
Jurvetson's body was found in dense brush off iconic Mulholland Drive, about 6 miles from the site of the August 1969 Manson family killings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanski, and four others.
Detective Luis Rivera said in April that LAPD hadn't found any concrete link between the cases but couldn't rule out whether they were connected, pointing to how and where Jurvetson was killed.
He said detectives uncovered no new information when they interviewed Manson about Jurvetson early this year.
Rivera could not be reached for comment Friday about whether the possible connection had been ruled out.
Manson and many of his followers had been arrested the month before Jurvetson's death, and Mulholland Drive was a well-known dumping ground for bodies in the 1960s and 1970s.

East Village Studio by JPDA
Look at how this tiny studio's spaces are defined not by walls but by storage. Precisely-crafted millwork carves an entry, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom from the limited space of this East Village studio. The result is plenty of storage and a feeling of openness:
The compact kitchen is full of cabinets and the stairs up to the sleeping loft double as dresser drawers. With all of this storage stashed away, the main space of the apartment is freed up for being open and light.

Andie, Dante and Mitsu
Hi! I just thought I would introduce myself quickly... I'm Andie. In April 2008, I rescued a cat from our Humane Society, and I called her Mitsu. She's an independant, cuddly when she wants grey tabby who's about 4 years old. In October 2008, I was diagnosed with severe depression, and the benefits of zootherapy are simply constant.
In September 2010, my boyfriend said to me he wanted a dog. I said no, simply due to the poop to be picked up, and the emotional demands a dog create. I felt I had nothing left to give to a dog. We went and visited with Dante, a shepherd-lab mix, and we brought him home. The lady who gave him to us said she took him from a home where he was mistreated, and she did not want to see him go to the pound. I had never had a dog before, and was a little worried it might not work. We brought Dante home that day, bought him the necessary accessories (bowls, bed, etc) and we found out quickly enough he had issues. The main one was separation anxiety (with me mostly) and constant whining for no apparent reason. Another problem, is that he is velcro to me. He does not leave my side when we are inside the house, and 50% of the time, I let him do it. A third issue, eating out of the garbage can while we are gone, or (Like last tuesday night) eating a whole cooked chicken that was left on the stove. Yes yes,I know what you are thinking... why did you leave it there so that the temptation is impossible to resist! He is a super high energy dog who needs his walk and daily play at the park. He also LOVES other dogs, it's fortunate we live in a neighborhood where there are about 10 to 12 dogs that come to the park in front of our house to play.
I believe he has come a long way since we adopted him (he used to cower, never used to hold his own at the park when another dog bugged him, had no confidence), but there is still a lot of work to do. I admit, I love my dog. My boyfriend does not. Somehow, he hoped he would get a perfect dog... I get so overwhelmed with the issues regarding our dog, that I don't know what to do anymore... I want him to be happy, confident, and behave good. I am certain he can, I just don't think I am the right human for him.

Don't sell yourself short, afraser--it sounds like Dante thinks you're just the human for him! So don't give up on him just yet. Nothing you've described is unfixable and I think with a little effort on your part, Dante will become better adjusted.
So welcome to the board to all of you and, as Marko advises, ask away!
Oh, and pics would be lovely if you have some to share with us.

Welcome to the forum, Andie.
We would love to see some pics of your furkids.
Also, if you start another thread in the dog training and behaviour forum I'm sure you will get some very helpful advise and tips on how to deal with Dante's issues.

U.S. tops Canada, advances to gold-medal gameby Adam Kimelman
The United States used an early offensive explosion and outstanding play from goalie John Gibson to defeat Canada 5-1 in the semifinals at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Jake McCabe had two goals and an assist and John Gaudreau had a pair of goals as the Americans advanced to Saturday's gold-medal game (8 a.m. ET, NHLN-US, TSN). They'll face defending champion Sweden, which beat Russia 3-2 in a shootout in the other semifinal.
The United States has won the gold medal just twice in WJC history, in 2004 and 2010.
"The guys played very, very hard," American coach Phil Housley told NHL.com. "I'm really proud of them. We got the start we needed. I thought we set the pace there early, getting pucks deep and we got that all-important first goal. The second period we capitalized on some early opportunities and Johnny Gibson made some big momentum saves for us. We really got settled in at that point."
Gibson finished with 36 saves, but none were bigger than two he made on a penalty kill midway through the third period. Early in the advantage Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who entered the game as the tournament's leading scorer, got the puck alone in the slot, but Gibson managed to get a piece of his shot with his glove, deflecting it over the crossbar. Seconds later, Gibson had to dive out to get his pad on a shot by Dougie Hamilton, who was open in the slot just to the right of the American net.
"We just tried to play our game and be calm and I tried to keep the puck out of the net any way I could," Gibson told NHL.com. "It [Nugent-Hopkins' shot] hit my arm and it was a good thing it stayed out."
In six games, Gibson has allowed just eight goals for a .955 save percentage. In two games in the tournament against Canada, he's allowed two goals on 69 shots.
"He's given us a chance to win every game," Housley said. "He's been outstanding."
"That might have been the best I've seen him play," teammate J.T. Miller, who has played with and against Miller since their days in minor hockey in the Pittsburgh area, told NHL.com. "He gets better and better every game, and he came out today with the best he had."
Ty Rattie scored Canada's lone goal, and goalie Malcolm Subban, who had allowed just eight goals in four games, was removed in the second period after allowing four goals on 16 shots. Jordan Binnington, who replaced him, stopped 25 of 26 shots.
Canada will play Saturday in the bronze-medal game (4 a.m. ET, NHLN-US, TSN) for the second straight year, against the losing team from the second semifinal.
"At the end of the day we deserve something," Ryan Strome, one of six returning Canadian players who won the bronze last year, told TSN. "This team has come a long way. We really bonded together. We deserve more than we got today. We have to go home with something. It's tough to get up for that bronze game, but I think it means a lot at the end of the day. You're going to remember getting that bronze."
What Canada would like to forget is the start of Thursday's game. Despite playing its sixth game in eight days and its third set of back-to-back games, the United States was the faster, more aggressive team and it showed on the scoreboard as the Americans took a 2-0 lead after one period on a pair of goals by McCabe.
McCabe, the American captain who made the team based more on his defensive ability -- he has just two goals in 16 games this season at the University of Wisconsin -- pinched into the high slot to score the game's first goal. Riley Barber got open in front of the Canadian net and had a pair of chances, but Subban stopped both attempts. The puck rolled to Barber for a third chance, but he spotted McCabe alone out high. McCabe's shot through heavy traffic found its way over Subban's glove at 7:18 for his second goal in six games of the WJC.
Later in the first, Rocco Grimaldi rushed the puck into the Canada end and dropped a pass for McCabe, who ripped a shot past Subban's glove with 3:58 left in the first to make it 2-0.
"It was really big for us," Miller said of the start. "One of our main keys was to hop in on them and get the lead early so they could chase us. Getting two, and two more in the second, was unbelievable."
For Canada, which had a day off after winning Group B, it was a stunning start.
"Our penalty killing was great throughout the tournament and John [Gibson] is a big reason for that. Certainly we knew they were going to come out hard [in the third], and once we got the fifth goal, that was a big difference for us. We stole the momentum from that point on in the period."
-- U.S. coach Phil Housley
"I think [Wednesday] we had a good day of practice, a good day of preparation," Canada coach Steve Spott told TSN, "but ultimately the legs simply weren't there in the first period and that cost us."
The Americans continued to push the play in the second, with Gaudreau carrying the puck into the Canada end, making a nice move to drag the puck around Canadian defenseman Ryan Murphy and beating Subban just 2:58 into the period.
Vesey made it 4-0 when he took a pass from Gaudreau, stepped around Canada's Xavier Ouellet and beat Subban to the far side, over his blocker, at 12:24.
That ended Subban's game, but his removal had more to do with how the team played in front of him.
"He battled hard for us all tournament," Nugent-Hopkins told TSN. "We left him out to dry a few times tonight. He definitely deserved better from us."
The third period saw Canada finally generate offensive pressure as Spott changed a few of his lines, but all they could manage was Rattie's odd shorthanded goal at 4:03 of the period.
Canada was skating a man down due to a penalty for too many men on the ice, but was pressuring in the American end when Philip Danault's shot hit the side of the United States net and kicked into the slot. Rattie fired a shot that hit the post, but then it appeared one of the referees blew his whistle and the Americans thought the play had been blown dead. However, the puck bounced back to Rattie, who scored. The goal was upheld after a video replay.
Canada had another chance to climb back into the game with the mid-period power play, but Gibson and the American penalty killing -- which has shut down 23 of 25 opposing power plays in the tournament -- kept them off the board.
"He made some great saves," Strome said. "You want to pepper a goalie as much as you can. Maybe we could have done more, but at the end of the day he made great saves."
Canada continued to press after the power play ended, but Gibson made every important save, and then Gaudreau's goal off a long pass from Miller closed the scoring. The goal was Gaudreau's seventh of the tournament, all in the last three games, and puts him one goal shy of Jeremy Roenick's American record of eight in one tournament.
"Our penalty killing was great throughout the tournament and John is a big reason for that," Housley said. "Certainly we knew they were going to come out hard [in the third], and once we got the fifth goal, that was a big difference for us. We stole the momentum from that point on in the period."
The Americans will get one more important day of rest, and then it's on to the gold-medal game for the fourth time.
"[Thursday] is a night to enjoy what we accomplished and then [Friday] it's like it never happened," Miller said. "We're really looking forward to our competition."
