I passed by the shuttered Almondine on 9th St. and it looks like Valley Shepard is looking to get a license for alcohol in that space.
Hello fellow Slopers, it is with heavy heart that I am writing this post regarding the bicycle vandal that lives on 5th street between 8th ave and Prospect Park West. Although I am 85% sure of who has vandalized my bicycle I shall refrain from posting his/her exact name and building number until I am 100%sure and the police arrest them.
How do I know who has vandalized my bicycle? Well allow me to explain. 2 months ago I was approached by a young lady about me chaining my bicycle around a tree on the specific block. The tree in front of her home to be exact. Although the conversation started on a happy note it quickly turned sour when she demanded I stop placing my bicycle on the now infamous. A the conversation became heated her husband came out his home and basically screamed at me to "STOP" chaining my bicycle around the tree in front of their home. He gave me a threatening stare, made a derogatory statement about my sexual preference and dragged his wife inside.
Before my fellow Slopers attack me let me say that I chain my bike around the tree with extreme caution. Not only is the chain I used covered with a cushy plastic material it also is chained on the tree with an unusual amount of slack. To be honest their is a lot of play between the tree and my bike and when I chain it up every night the bike appears like it is just leaning on the tree. Beside my blatant rainbow stickers adorning the frame of my bicycle I can not understand for the life of me what they find so offensive about my actions.
The above being stated I will further state that a month ago I returned to my secured bicycle to find that my bicycle seat was smothered in peanut butter and jelly. When I say smothered, I mean extremely smothered. I had no choice but to throw the entire seat away. I didn't think anything of it and chalked it up to some childish stunts by local punks. Who would of thought that my neighbors were descended from Mussolini himself for the vandalism continued.
1 week ago the vandal got brazen and loosened all the bolts on my bicycle. You can imagine my shock when i grabbed my bike and all the parts started to move this way and that. Hell, the pedals even fell off. Once more I chalked it up to a local A-hole and tightened the parts on my bike and went about my daily chores but something told me that the couple from hell had something to do with this.
Yesterday the final straw was applied to my back and it snapped like a twig. I got to my bicycle and the new seat was smothered in mayonnaise but this time there was a note attached to the bike. Would you believe that the vandal even laminated the note so as to keep the message nice and dry for me. Along with the note was a PB&J, a Mayonnaise jar label and a crude rainbow sticker. Obviously it was the same culprit. The note read as follows:
DO WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER NOW, RAINBOW BRIGHT????????The local authorities were called but they only served to mock me as they took a useless report. I was assured a detective would be assigned to my case but I know better. I explained to them that I think I was being targeted because of my sexual orientation but they brushed me off and told me that there was no proof of that.
Why do I post this on this forum? Well I want to warn my neighbors of this insidious anti bicycle, anti gay couple who live on the block. They seem intent on bullying me but I assure you I will not cave to these Gestapo type tactics. As of today I have placed my Bamboo framed bicycle in storage unit and started using a cheapo bicycle I picked up a stoop sale. I stripped all the nuts on the bike thus making it almost impossible to loosen any parts on it. I understand that I might be courting trouble but I was taught always stand up to oppression.
If it is war the want by golly it is passive war they will get. I only hope that people will understand my motives when they come across my bicycle.
Thank you.
Looking for any info on the construction thats been visible for a couple months now at this corner spot on Franklin and St. Mark's. The back door was open this morning and I was abe to see kitchen sinks and machinery, and in front the gate was slightly ajar as workers were determining how to lay some brick for a new storefront design? I figure someone may have the early scoop on what's to come.
I figured I'd add this on here, since other than the Patch it doesn't seem to have gotten picked up by anyone else.
Click through to the Patch story for a picture.Police are asking for the public's help to find a 13-year-old Brooklyn girl who has been missing since Wednesday evening.
13 year old girl missingEdo Dove was reported missing on May 15, at 7:45 p.m. She was last seen wearing tan pants and a blue shirt sitting in front of 886 Park Place between Nostrand and New York avenues in Crown Heights, police said.
She is black, standing approximately 5-foot-6, 135 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.
Anyone with any information concerning Edo Dove is urged to contact Detective Joseph Hicky at (718) 735-0610 or Detective Borough Brooklyn North at (718) 287-3239.
You can also call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto Crime Stoppers' website at http://www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting their tips to CRIMES (274637), then enter TIP577. All calls are strictly confidential.

I was just curious if anyone knew of any changes(more bars, cafes etc.) happening between Fulton and Pacific off of Nostrand. I know there's NoBar and Richol Bakery, but that seems to be about it on my stretch of Nostrand. There's a bunch of stuff popping up a couple blocks up so i figured it's only a matter of time.
Also what's up with the armory on Bedford and Pacific? I heard tell of a rec center, but that was a while ago. Thanks!

Did you lose a bird recently?
We stopped at 6th Ave veterinary yesterday (Saturday 5/18) then a woman with a kid & a goldendoodle came in and said that they had just found (or rather a parakeet had found them) at the park. The bird had flown up to the dog and started playing with it.
She brought it to the vet hoping that they could take it, but the office was closing and no staff were there. The bird climbed right up onto my partner's finger, onto her arm, and nuzzled into her neck & hoodie. The parakeet wasn't afraid of our dogs either.
We took the bird and ended up at Unleashed (pet smart?) on 7th ave to buy a crate and some food. Fortunately for us, an animal rescue shelter was there - and the guy driving the van does bird rescue!
He said it was a girl. She was cold and hungry. She was a bit thin so probably had been loose for a few days.
If this is your bird, please contact:
Sean Casey Animal Rescue
153 E 3rd Street
Brooklyn, NY
open daily 11a-7pWe gave her up to the driver. We told him to name her Molly. He said parakeets usually go pretty quickly - so hopefully she will find a good home.

Anyone know what happened in front of the Museum last night? Lots of cops, saw a few cars in the street, a woman with cuffs on, a bike in the middle of the street. It looked like it should be bad, but didn't see an ambulance or anything indicating a big accident.
Formerly the site of 3-Ds, this site has undergone a really slooooow renovation over the course of the last three+ years:
Today (May 18, 2013), I was able to look in at the inside, and see that carpentry tools are finally absent. Tables and chairs are in place and ready for use.
In addition, a website (complete with some branding) has recently been launched: http://www.islandczcafe.com/
Here's what this location used to look like:
Based on my view, this place looks like it will be the type of venue that serves alcoholic drinks.
However, in a sign that we may still have a while to wait, there has been no activity with the SLA or the Community Board that I am aware of.
.... navigating this process often takes several months.
Does anyone think this site is actually going to open prior to July 4th?
For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
So the city provides hundreds of them for the Brooklyn Marathon but zero for the West Indian Day parade. Hmmm...I wonder why.
Hi there!
This summer I will be doing a summer course in New York at the Miami Ad School (located in Dumbo near the Brooklyn bridge). I'm looking for a place to stay during those 3 months, but as an international student (I live in The Netherlands) it's quite hard to exactly understand where it's safe to life and where it's not. Hopefully you guys can help me out.
Currently I'm looking at 2 appartments (via nyurbanliving.com ):
Kingston ave / St Marks ave
What's this block like?Nostrand ave / Eastern Parkway
What's this block like?Would you guys consider these apartments a good deal and in a good (enough) neighbourhood for a student? Is it easy to find transportation from here to Dumbo?
Thanks a bunch!

Hi Folks,
This summer I'll be moving from Chicago to a 2br apartment in Crown Heights just off Eastern Parkway. The apt is amazing.. living room, dining room, kitchen, foyer and the price is AMAZING. Like really amazing.
The problem is that my potential roommate who just got a job in NYC is scared to move to Crown Heights because she thinks there is too much violence.
Since I'm from Chicago, AND I grew up in a gentrifying neighborhood with boarded up houses, corner drunks, illicit drug activity, the "violence" in NYC doesn't make me scared to move to Crown Heights. That same lakefront neighborhood is coveted now. The neighborhood where my mother bought a boarded up house for $20,000 and now houses go for $500,000 STILL barely has any commercial activity (we only have Popeyes and J&J Fish and one cafe that closes at 6:30pm). So in short, Crown Heights would be heaven for me.
My potential roommate on the otherhand is scared of the violence that has been reported in Crown Heights. I'll admit that the news coming from the neighborhood is very skewed. Up until 1.5 yrs ago, all the online articles ONLY talked of violence and NOTHING else. So I can understand why she might have this view of the neighborhood. And I'm not doubting that violence still exists too.
So what can I say to her to convince her to move here or is it a lost cause? Should I just let her find another neighborhood and PAY DOUBLE?

Comment posted A83 reopened now after closure for rta by Robert Wakeham.
One peculiar feature of this section of trunk road is the stretch past the station that is slightly narrower (too narrow for trucks & buses to easily pass), has no 'road narrows' warning signs, but was reconstructed (rather than just resurfaced) to the same substandard width a few years back. I wonder if there's some bloody minded highway regulation that says if a road's got a 30mph limit there's no need to provide the usual warning signs? Local drivers might be aware of this hazard, but others clearly aren't.

Talking of Conservatives, and bearing in mind the ornithological wonders of this part of the world, has anyone yet spotted a swivel-eyed loon? – or is it an imaginary creature? - First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Farage was in Edinburgh to raise the profile of UKIP – don't underestimate wee Nige. - Walsh to lead all but Lib Dems, Conservatives and George Freeman

There's a quite accurate measure of economic activity if you look around at where tower cranes signify construction in progress, and there are more in London than in the whole of the rest of Britain. Last autumn at a do in London I suggested to a senior Canary Wharf construction executive that London was increasingly behaving like a separate 'city state', with an economy that operated independently to that of the rest of Britain.
He was dismissive of this idea, but I'm not so sure.

Apache Junction, AZ
Overview of Apache Junction
Located in the heart of Southwestern culture, the city of Apache Junction, Ariz., may look like the backdrop for an old Wild West movie, but the community's drive is anything but antiquated. Conveniently tucked between the bustling Phoenix metropolitan area and the scenic splendor of Tonto National Forest, residents who live in Apache Junction apartments for rent can feel like a city slicker and a cowboy all in one setting. Although the city may be growing, the community here still holds true to its small-town roots. According to 2011 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, the area boasts more than 36,500 residents. This true oasis in the desert is one of the most sought-after cities in Arizona as well, with a 2.1 increase in population from in just one year from 2010 to 2011, according to census estimates.
Living in Apache Junction, AZ
Nestled in the foothills of Superstition Mountain - a place that has mystified different cultures for centuries - Apache Junction is rooted in the Wild West with a storied and colorful history. The area was first settled by Spanish conquistadors, and then Apache Native Americans. However, the community of Apache Junction wasn't truly formed until the western frontier was expanded and brave pioneers came into the area in search of the "Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine" located near Apache Junction. As the city grew throughout the 20th century, the town was eventually named Apache Junction after the Native American trail that once meandered through the town. Today, the open spaces and beauty of nature here make this community very attractive for Arizona residents who want all of the amenities of Phoenix close by but still wants to maintain a desert lifestyle.
Apache Junction Attractions and Special Events
Some of the best Southwestern scenery can be found in the seat of your car along the historic Apache Trail right outside the city. The areas around Fish Creek Canyon provide stunning views of the Sonoran Desert and spectacular precipices that attract adventurers and thrill seekers from all over the world.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsAlpine Skiing: New season, new faces The beginning of May also marks the start of the new season - summer preparations are getting under way for most Alpine World Cup teams with a few of them beginning training with new coaches. What follows below is a brief summary of the main changes in the coaching structures of the World Cup teams that have come to the attention of the FIS Newsflash: In Scandinavia, the major change has been a new cooperation in the speed events between Sweden and Norway. The Swedish and Norwegian men will be training together under the tried and trusted leadership of Havard Tjorhom (Norway) and Marko Pfeifer (Sweden) whilst Åre-native Ulf Emilsson has changed back to Sweden where he takes charge of the speed team after previously coaching the Norwegians whilst continuing to train together with them and also the Canadians in a team SWECANOR. On the tech side, former racer Johan Brolenius will replace the previous Swedish men's slalom coach Magnus Larsson. On the ladies side, there are also a few changes. While Fredrik Steinwall continues as the Swedish head coach and Rudi Soulard will be in charge of tech training, Stefan Abplanalp, who previously coached one of the Swiss ladies' speed groups, will be leading a combined Norwegian and Swedish ladies speed team. Christian Thoma, who previously served as the head coach for the Finnish ladies team, will work with Stefan. Mikael Junglind has decided to move on after twelve years with the Swedish ladies' team, especially with Anja Pärson whilst Johan Wallner, who was also in the coaching group with Anja Pärson in the past years will return to as coach to the Torsby Ski High School. In Switzerland, the new ladies' head coach is former Swiss men's speed coach Hans Flatscher. He will oversee the work of two main training groups, speed and tech. The speed group will be led by Daniele Petrini and the new tech group coach will be South Tyrolean Alois Prenn who previously worked for the Swedes for seven seasons. The former Swiss ladies' tech coach Lionel Finance has moved on to coach the young Russian ladies' speed team.

TODAY DIESEL ENGINES are more complicated, and thus i don't feel they're trustworthy,…. any how except loud noise, rest all is same with today's petrol and diesel engine,…. but your maintenance cost will increase 1 fold ,,,,, thus if opting for diesel, with just 700 km fig. …. sure won't be problematic, but'll be hefty on pocket for…[Read more]
Fuel choice is up to you. For such a monthly run, petrol car is advisable but you need to consider the FE factor as well. Honda City is a proven car for decades and one of the best in class mid level petrol sedan, worth buying it. Volkswagen Vento might be pocket pinching while servicing and buying replacement parts. My choice would be City in…[Read more]
From an economic point of view, it makes no sense. Otherwise, there is no issue
Petrol is the way to go…and also in general petrol cars have a more refined engine and the maintainence cost is lower..and diesel cars r expensive by atleast a 1lakh, which u can use for abt 2-2.5 yrs petrol purchase..n your running isnt high so petrol makes more sense.
Yes definitely, with this much of monthly run, you can opt diesel car keeping fuel efficiency and economy in mind.
lol no confusion should be there here, lord and world both knows, that if petrol is your choice and sedan is ur desire, and no budget limit …. the only demon cum friend you can get is HONDA CITY …. CITY is the most trusted brand ….no blinking, no biting just grabbing the CITY !!! ….
Honda City is the car to go in for.
Among these two, the Honda City is a car that has overall good performance, handling, efficiency and reliability. Go for City !
the only sole reason is the mileage …. and subsidy indian govt. offers on diesel …. if you're planning for a kit, opt for petrol, but the engine performance notches down by 10% by kit (cng) ….
Vento diesel is having powerful torque figures.and much more fuel efficient than city.Even if diesel subsidy not there,atleast 20-25% more fuel efficient than petrolcity.It pulls like a train and that turbo boost is enormous and addictive.
Go goa..where Diesel is costly then Petrol..Why diesel man!!
I always suggest people to buy diesel cars.People say that it doesn't make much of a difference if you buy a petrol car or diesel car but my answer always is not to them NO, it does make a lot of difference Firstly petrol and diesel prices are never ever going to be the same diesel will always be more cheaper fuel and even if petrol gets cheaper…[Read more]
once you'll get that warning, do a tankful and check the amount of fuel you bought. Warning amount=Tank capacity – amount of fuel you bought.
5 litres ….
I don't think you will get substantially more mileage than what you are getting currently from your Optra. The manual is different, there the Verna would have given you more than the Optra.
With the Verna automatic diesel, expect only about 11 in the city and about 15 on the highway. The Verna automatic is a four speed automatic – which means it holds each gear ratio for longer – which is detrimental to fuel economy.

Update: Three Week Closure for Highway 149/I-40 Overpass Near Forrest City
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: January 15, 2013
Repairs to the Highway 149 overpass crossing Interstate 40 east of Forrest City will take nearly a month to complete.
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) says the bridge will be closed for about three weeks while construction crews work to repair an apparent failure in the shoring of an embankment where a new overpass is being built.
Traffic on I-40 is not affected by this closure.
The contractor has brought in additional resources to speed up completion of the work needed to re-open the roadway. About two-thousand vehicles travel across the overpass daily, 43-percent of which are heavy trucks.
The construction is taking place at the Earle exit near Shell Lake on I-40 (Exit 260). During the closure, Exit 260 will remain open, but traffic will not be allowed to cross the Interstate. I-40 eastbound traffic can only access State Highway 149 to the south, and I-40 westbound traffic can only access Highway 149 to the north.
Message boards have been placed on I-40 that detour motorists at Exits 256 and 265 to enable crossing of the Interstate for motorists wishing to access Highway 149.
The project was successfully bid in June 2012 by Tulsa-based Manhattan Road & Bridge Company for approximately $7.5 million. Work began in August. Completion for the new overpass is estimated to be in fall 2013.
Drivers are advised to be extra careful when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones.
Original report (January 13):
A portion of the dirt under the approach to the Highway 149 overpass washed away.
The highway goes to Earle in St. Francis County
That section of 149 will remain closed until repairs can be made.
Interstate 40 traffic is not affected.

5 Gifts Grandparents Will Love
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. For grandparents, that number might be a little higher.
Here's the first thing you need to know about holiday shopping for grandparents: We just can't get enough pictures of our grandchildren.
Whether they're printed on Kodak paper or popped in as wallpaper on our iPad screens, grandparents love, love, love looking at those precious faces. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking in the right direction:
1. Photo books
These are available on-line through sites like Snapfish.com, or you can order them when you take your digital images or film to Walgreen's, CVS, Rite Aid, or wherever you order prints. My personal favorite is a 4x6 album that fits into my purse. (Go ahead, ask me about my grandchildren.)
2. Framed photos
Help the kids make a frame using a craft-store kit, or simple materials like heavy cardboard or Popsicle sticks, then fill it with a school photo. MarthaStewart.com has a cute idea for picture frames made out of paper.
3. Photo mugs or key chains
Take it from me, there's no better way to start the day than with the smiling faces of your grandchildren looking back at you. The same is true with key chains, or anything else a grandparent might use every day.
4. Photo t-shirts
Hip, happening grandparents still wear these, and it's easy-as-pie these days to customize them with photos. Michaels has plain t-shirts in a variety of sizes and colors, as well as transfer paper that you can use to print the images from your home computer. If you're a little nervous about getting the shirts just right, leave it to the professionals.
5. Photo keepsake box
A small wooden box with decoupaged photos on the lid looks great on a grandparent's coffee table or dresser. You might even fill it with a few more photos or keepsakes, like a memento from a special trip.

Cruel... You will be old one day. Don't make fun of old people!

Where is anyone making fun of the elderly? Please educate us.
William Mays

How about a actual good gift, like a nice watch or a new ring?
rose matt
9:35 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
How about just spending time with us. Take us to brunch or lunch ,tell us what you are doing in school or at work, about your friends, Email us a funny joke,or just say hello.
11:56 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
A picture is nice but a homemade card from the kids is much better.
11:56 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
If I get any more pictures I'll have to rent an apartment to display them.
12:04 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Nancy D. The inappropriate comment making fun of the elderly was removed.
Patti Urbano
5:44 am on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
I'm a young grand parent, I agree with hsr I don't need any more pictures. Nor do I want any of the stuff the article said was nice. And don't want a homemade card either. Like William said a good gift.
rose matt
11:08 am on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Young or old, if it from the grandchild [not the parents] then it is a gift of love.
That's the best gift
Christine Stolte
10:04 pm on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
I love my Grandma very much, but like you HSR and Patti Urbano - I don't think she has room for any more pictures. Haha. As much as she loves them!
And as far as homemade cards? All of my cousins and I are well into our 20s....So I really don't think that's an option. Heh. Maybe for her Great-Grands.
I really don't think there can be a generic "Grandparent Christmas Shopping List." Especially like this!
As you said, Patti: You're a young Grandparent....So is my mother....You two would like things WAY different than MY 80+ yr old Grandmother. If I gave my Grandmother anything that turned on, plugged in, or needed batteries? The show's over! haha. It would only get used when one of us was up there to help her! (this has happened, I have proof...lol)
I DO, however, agree with the "spend time with" option. That is always a wonderful thing. And sometimes, if that's all you have to offer? That's enough.

Cody Ross joins crowded outfield, ready to help D-backs
Originally published: Jan 10, 2013 - 2:45 pm
A guest of Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Thursday, Ross detailed the circumstances that led to him signing with the team.
Saying there was a good amount of interest in his services, Ross noted that most of the calls seemed to be coming from East coast teams. Hoping to stay closer to his Arizona home, one night the phone rang with the right team on the line.
"The Texas Rangers called," he said. "They were actually, really wanted me, you know, they wanted to move pretty quick."
Ross said the Rangers flew him into town the next day and he met with the team's brass, and he was having dinner when his phone started to ring again.
"I excused myself, went to the bathroom and saw that my agent had texted me that the Diamondbacks had called," he said. "So, long story short, the next day -- I flew home that night into Arizona -- and woke up and went to lunch with the front office of the Diamondbacks and pretty much almost agreed to a deal at that point.
"It just all came about so quick."
Indeed it did.
Ross, 32, hit .267 with 22 home runs and 81 RBI last year for the Boston Red Sox. He has spent time with the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, Florida Marlins and San Francisco Giants as well, and brings a solid glove to go along with a very capable bat.
However, he knows he is joining an already crowded outfield, and said the team told him early on there was a chance no move would be made. So, Ross is going to have to fight for every bit of playing time he gets.
That's fine.
Ross said while he prefers playing in center field, he's comfortable at all three outfield positions.
Listen: Cody Ross, D-backs' newest outfielder When the D-backs traded for another outfielder many were confused as to why. But listen to this interview and get a glimpse into why the D-backs had to have Cody Ross on their roster.
There is a school of thought that says Ross's arrival almost guarantees the departure of someone else. He said that's not the case.
"They said they were going more towards signing me and worrying about that later," he said of the crowded outfield.
Ross said no one told him anyone was going to be moved, but that they said they liked him enough to want to bring him on board.
"It was just a 'hey we want you, and we want you on this team, we think you're going to be a great addition, let's do this' and I was like 'I'm all in, let's do it.'"

DES MOINES – Head Coach Steve Williamson scored his 100th career victory as the Iowa Wesleyan College women's basketball team opened its 2009-10 season with a 78-71 win over Dana (Neb.) College Friday night at the Grand View University Classic.
The Tigers got 16 points from Anna Jones (So.-Cornell, Ill.) and in all had four players score in double figures. IWC opened up an 18-point halftime lead but still had to survive a late push by the Vikings, who cut the margin as low as four points in the final minute.
Wesleyan trailed just once in the game at 4-2 in the early going. The Tigers shot 58.6% in the first half, making 17 of 29 shots led by Jones, who scored 11 points in the first 20 minutes. IWC built a double-digit lead midway through the half and led 49-31 at halftime.
The Vikings (0-3 overall) opened the second half with a 9-0 run to cut the lead to 49-40, setting the tone for how the final 20 minutes would play out. The Tigers built solid leads several times only to see Dana cut the deficit back to single digits on every occasion.
Wesleyan followed the Viking run with eight points of its own, including four points from Sheray Brown (Jr.-Detroit, Mich.) before Dana got back within nine points again. The Tigers went back ahead by 14 on two occasions, the second after two free throws by Lindsee Bachicha (Jr.-Brighton, Colo.) making it 68-54 with 5:24 left. Dana would not go away, though, and cut the lead to 73-69 with 31 seconds remaining before Melanie McCreight (Jr.-Winfield, Iowa) made four straight free throws to salt the game away.
McCreight scored 11 points in the game while Bachicha and Jill Ginder (Jr.-Olney, Ill.) both had 10 points each. Jones and Jessi Beachey (Jr.-Fisher, Ill.) both had six rebounds to lead the team. Williamson's win came in the opening game of his sixth season as the Tiger head coach, and he now has a 100-60 record at Iowa Wesleyan.
IWC shot 42.6% for the game, making 23 of 54 shots including an icy 25% (6-for-24) in the second half. The Tigers made 28 of 32 (87.5%) free throw tries, though, and out-rebounded the Vikings 38-27.
Trisha Trotter led Dana with 18 points. The Vikings shot 37.1% (23 of 62) but stayed in the game by making 21 of 24 free throws (87.5%).
Wesleyan will conclude its play in the Grand View Classic on Saturday when it faces Midland Lutheran (Neb.) College at 2 p.m. The Warriors lost to host Grand View 79-54 in the other game Friday night.

Transcription of RNA from DNA is the principal step in executing a cell's genetic program. Numerous techniques have been developed to investigate gene expression at the level of transcription, including Northern blot hybridization, RNase protection and reverse transcription coupled with polymerase chain reaction amplification (RT-PCR). RT-PCR is a sensitive and versatile method which can be used to determine the presence of a transcript, to estimate expression levels and to clone cDNA products without the necessity of constructing and screening a cDNA library. Promega's Access RT-PCR System provides a convenient, single-tube, two-enzyme method for generating a cDNA product from an RNA sample.

A Tuscan wedding
Where exactly did you get married?
La Bandita, our friends' hotel in Pienza, Tuscany.
Did you walk down the aisle with Devin?
Yes, I grew up between New York and Sweden, so we did that the Swedish way.
Where did you find your beautiful wedding dress? (I'm obsessed with the tiny straps!)
This charming little Italian grandmother who lived outside Rome was going to make my dress. I chose everything—the fabric, all the details. But eight days before my wedding, I finally saw the dress and it was a total disaster. All this tulle, it looked like it belonged on the top of a wedding cake.
I was determined not to be That Girl, so I thought, 'It's OK, all my friends are coming, it will be fun, don't worry.' I called my sister in New York. She was leaving for Italy the next morning. She works in fashion, and she said, 'You know, I have this dress in my closet from the Ralph Lauren runway show. He sent it down the runway on Gisele, but they never manufactured it. Gisele is the only one who ever wore it. It's literally one of a kind.' So she brought it in her suitcase.
I loved that dress. I loved wearing it.
Your hair also looked incredible.
When I worked at Allure, I met Chris McMillan, Jennifer Aniston's hair stylist. We became friends over the years, and he came to our wedding. About six hours before the ceremony, we were sitting around the pool--I had sunscreen in my hair--and he said, 'What should we do with your hair tonight?' He put it up really quickly, just playing around, and I said, "Don't touch it, it's perfect!" So I sat around in my bathing suit all afternoon and then got married without changing a thing.
Where were the daisies from?
To this day, I have no idea. Chris looked at my hair and said, 'Hang on, it needs something.' He reappeared with these daisies. There were no daisies on the property. He's a miracle worker.
What's the deal with the amazing accordion player?
We wanted to add a cheesy, red-sauce Italian restaurant element to our wedding. So we hired a local musician to play all the Italian folk songs that Americans want to hear when they come to Italy. We hung out around the pool having cocktails and hors devours.
You had so many guests! Did everyone fly over from the States?
We had 120 people. Everyone came a week before the wedding. By the time the wedding day came, there had already been hookups and breakups and everyone was friends. Everyone rented houses, instead of staying in hotels, so it was like a flashback to college. You'd recognize people in their cars on the road. It was so awesome.
Any tricky things about getting married in Italy?
The downside about getting married in Italy—especially when no one coming to the wedding speaks the language—is that you're pulled in a thousand directions. You're dealing with the infrastructure of a tiny town thirty minutes from the airport, so every couple seconds, someone is calling you to say, "How do you say, 'Can you please fill up my car?'"
What did you serve for dinner?
Steak Fiorentina. And my favorite pasta, Cacio e Pepe. But Cacio e Pepe is a Roman dish and our caterers were from Florence, so they had an attitude about serving Roman food. We finally convinced them to serve it, but it wasn't as good as it was supposed to be!
What was one of your favorite memories of the day?
You can't tell from the photos, but there were fields on every side of us covered with sheep. I had always wanted a country wedding, and it really felt like that. We had a DJ playing loud music until nine in the morning, and we were in the middle of these huge fields.
Were the sheep staring at you?
I think the sheep had seen it all.

It's very nice but I chafe a little at the "cheesy red sauce" (points for the funny, tho) comment. Not appreciated. But someone who gets that cacio e pepe is Roman & that snooty Tuscans will be, well, snooty, redeems.
Though I will never ever ever go to anyone's wedding in Italy unless they promise to NOT act like doofuses. (I mean the guests...)
And yes, la gregge di pecore - seen it all. I'm giggling at her reflections of the wedding...she's funny. Her dress mishap, oh the horror! I can hear the Italian seamstress inmy head, "No, no bellissimo vestito, bella, bella sposa! I srsly can imagine how much "poof" and layers of tulle was put into that dress, they kind of go in for that here....
But how lovely and beautiful was the dress she ended up with.Amazing location amazing everything. I love how she seemingly to effortlessly prepared herself for the wedding. Something about a person being completely comfortable and confident wearing minimal makeup and spending minimal time on hair and accessories etc...its just so attractive. She looked so happy.
ReplyDeleteyes the dress is amazing and yes the setting is amazing and yes the food sounds amazing, but what was most amazing was her laid back carefree attitude. I love that she was able to relax by the pool with friends until minutes before the ceremony. From the photos and recap she seems so happy, that's what I want to take away from this....stress less! enjoy more! and get to italy sometime soon
ReplyDeleteyou have AH-MAZING friends and this is an amazing story.
It almost makes me hate her a little bit. Seriously? You just HAPPENED to have a sister in fashion who just HAPPENED to have a *perfect* gown in her closet and your BFF is a hairstylist??? I can't deal with it, I'm going to go eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.Hi!
I came on to your blog by chance!
I love these spontaneous pictures, and looking at it pretty rapidly, it looks like I've been in this place before!
Needless to say the dress is gorgeous in its simplicity!
If you want to see more about Italian brides experiences and best tips, you can visit my blog www.myitalianwedding.co.uk
Sylvieoh my! I do so adore her gown! I had a similar mishap. I had my gown handmade and designed in another country and once it arrived it was a cindarella nightmare. The photo I sent for inspiration featured a gown with a simple silhouette like Danielle's and the designer took his own liberties with tulle and tons of beading. :( Unfortunately for me, I could not afford a new one and there was no RL or Gisele to the rescue. Anywho-gorgeous, gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite wedding that you've ever covered. The bride is so pretty {I can't even begin to comment on the dress!}, and the whole experience seemed so real and true to who they are as a couple. And, funny aside, I recognize a good portion of the guests from my days working in events at GQ {groom included}!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great wedding at Tuscany! I wish I can have a wedding as memorable and as grand as that, too.
Anyway, I've noticed that there's no set motif for the clothing. I like that in a way that you won't have to be restricted to wearing something with the same color as everyone else.
Also, the flowers! I liked the bouquet! It looks simple, but it goes well with your dress and the daisies on your hair. I wish I can find florists in Indianapolis who can help me in arranging flowers.- Anonymous1:52 AM
pillow pets Ms.Lady Bug are great for play time, sleep time, any time! Kids of all ages love their Pillow Pets. There are over 28 different animals to choose from.
There's a panda bear, a ladybug, a frog, a dog, a unicorn, a dolphin, a bumble bee, a turtle, and so many more cute animals. What a beautiful wedding ( and couple ). My fiance and I are actually getting a Tuscan Villa Rental to plan a wedding too. Seeing all these pictures just ensured that I made the right choice, I can't think of a more romantic place.

Tweet of the Week
The University of Washington Softball team has been on a tear as of late. The Huskies are locked in a close one right now with Missouri in the NCAA Super Regionals, but last night the 11th ranked Dawgs beat the Tigers 2-1. The ladies have been powered by great pitching and defense all season. Last night was no different, and the nation noticed. Second baseman Kelli Suguro's diving stop and throw from the ground made SportCenter's Top 10 last night. Here is this week's top tweet from @UWAthletics that captures @UWSoftball's response to the accolade on video.

Two giant presses used in the fabrication process at Daiki are the only things salvageable from the destruction.
Miyamori expressed sympathy and compassion for the community and thanked the business community for its special efforts to raise money for the Daiki Employee Relief Fund.
Miyamori also expressed thanks to the American business community for its efforts to help the Japanese recover from the tsunami that struck his nation two years ago.
Also Thursday, Tricia Pridemore, who directs the Governor's Office of Workforce Development, said it is her office's responsibility to make sure that each community, each county and each region has a qualified workforce to address the needs of existing and new industry.
"Our state is divided into 12 different regions and, in 10 of those 12, workforce development is the No. 1 top priority for economic growth and prosperity," Pridemore said.
Go Build Georgia is the latest initiative for the Office of Workforce Development. The program was started in January 2012 to highlight the need for skilled labor education advancement across the state.
"Over the last two generations we have told our children that they absolutely positively have to go to a four-year college to achieve the American Dream," Pridemore said. "Meanwhile, we have seen — whether it be manufacturing or transportation, telecommunications, energy or utilities — we have seen a growing demand for skilled craft labor."
The Governor's Office of Workforce Development is working directly with high school counselors across the state to get the word to students and parents that skilled labor jobs offer solid career choices.
Skilled trade jobs pay 27-percent more than the average Georgian's salary, Pridemore said.
She also touted her office's efforts to help veterans find jobs when they leave the military. She specifically cited the growing need for jobs in the transportation and logistics industry. Pridemore said the industry would need 12,800 new drivers with commercial drivers licenses by the year 2016.
The Troops to Trucks program is designed to translate a military commercial drivers license into a Georgia CDL.
"If they've driven a tank in Iraq, they ought to be able to navigate I-285 during rush hour," Pridemore said.
