LOS ANGELES (AP) Kyle Palmieri and the New Jersey Devils have been struggling after a quick start to the season, but they hope Thursday night's 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings can turn things around.
Palmieri scored twice in a matchup of conference cellar dwellers as the Devils snapped a six-game losing streak and got just their third victory away from home.
''This is a big road trip for us. We wanted to get off to a good start,'' said Palmieri, who leads the Devils with 14 goals. ''We scored timely goals and that's what you need to do. It's a fresh start. You can't worry about what happened in October and November.''
The right wing had seven goals in New Jersey's first four games - all wins - but had been in a slump since then. Coming into Thursday, he had just one goal in his past nine games. He also had not fared well against the Kings, going without a goal in his last 13 games against Los Angeles and scoring only two in 18 meetings.
Both his goals came on wrist shots that beat Jonathan Quick to his glove side.
Palmieri opened the scoring on a power-play goal with six minutes remaining in the first period off a pass from Taylor Hall, who had three assists. Palmieri then put the Devils up for good, 3-2, midway through the second period on a snap shot.
New Jersey was clinging to a 4-3 lead midway through the third when Nico Hischier provided an insurance goal. He got position in the slot and was able to redirect Sami Vatanen's shot past Quick for his sixth of the season.
Blake Coleman added a late empty-net goal for his ninth.
Travis Zajac and Will Butcher each had a goal and an assist. Keith Kinkaid, pulled after allowing four goals in two periods during Monday night's loss to Tampa Bay, bounced back with 29 saves.
''I thought his puck play was strong and his decisions were good,'' Devils coach John Hynes said. ''He did a good job of seeing pucks through traffic. He came up big for us in certain situations.''
Brendan Leipsic, Adrian Kempe and Kyle Clifford scored for the Kings, who have dropped four of five and are last in the NHL with 21 points. Quick stopped 29 shots.
Leipsic scored his first goal with Los Angeles and third of the season on a wrist shot from just inside the right circle that went through Kinkaid's legs with four minutes remaining in the first to tie it at 1. The left wing was claimed off waivers from Vancouver on Monday and was playing in his second game for the Kings.
Kempe's goal in the second came on a pass from Drew Doughty. The assist by Doughty gave him 334 for his career and made him the franchise leader among defensemen, surpassing Rob Blake.
''We're obviously super frustrated. It's another game that we didn't perform well enough. It's frustrating. It's embarrassing. It's a lot of things,'' Doughty said.
NOTES: RW Nikita Scherbak's debut with the Kings was pushed back another game due to visa delays. The 23-year-old Russian, claimed off waivers Sunday from Montreal, could be on the ice for Los Angeles' next game Saturday. ... Zajak's goal was only the ninth time since 2000-01 that the Devils have scored in the first 25 seconds of the second period. ... Kempe has two goals in his past three games.
Devils: Continue their three-game road trip Sunday at Anaheim.
Kings: Host the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.

Recruits' Ineligibility Tests the Military
More Than Two-Thirds of American Youth Wouldn't Qualify for Service, Pentagon Says
More than two-thirds of America's youth would fail to qualify for military service because of physical, behavioral or educational shortcomings, posing challenges to building the next generation of soldiers even as the U.S. draws down troops from conflict zones.
The military deems many youngsters ineligible due to obesity, lack of a high-school diploma, felony convictions and prescription-drug use for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. But others are now also running...

With Christmas being over, and the season still ringing in my heart, I know I am going to have a hard time putting Christmas away in a few days. I seem to always do. I had a beautiful Christmas, and I hope all of you did also!
With the winter here for another couple of months, I'm getting started on making some pretty winter decorations.
I'm starting with this is a very easy wreath to make. Fun and easy for children! All you need for this is a box of sandwich bags and a wire hanger. I picked up the bags at the dollar store. Now in retrospect, I should have used the plain baggies that you twist tie with wire. I will show you later why. Just pull down on bottom of hanger to make a circle.
Take one baggie, and tie around the hanger….do not knot
As you can see in the photo on the right, the bags a bit thick where it was tied around the wire.This wouldn't have been so if I used the plain baggies with no fold top.(I should have stuck with my search, perhaps Walmart.) I have had the flu the last couple of days and have been pampering myself.
So anyway, you go around tying the bags all around the wire..I was watching a movie while doing this…goes by faster.
When you are finished, you need to go around and fluff the ends of the bags, so you have a round fluffy wreath. I then was looking for some ribbon to put on the wreath. I love this wired ribbon..it has sequins and snowflakes …and looks sooo pretty!!
Tie it to the top of wreath around the hangers top….
I had found that pretty snowflake in the center of the wreath at the dollar store at Christmastime. I just hung it on the back of the top of hanger….I think it looks so pretty! What do you think?

Tiger Woods may have changed his putter, but he isn't out of the bunker just yet.
The world's No. 1 golfer faced an new round of probing questions about his personal life and mental state Tuesday during his first news conference in the U.K. since a sex scandal.
More than half of the 34 questions directed at Woods in advance of this year's British Open were unrelated to his chances at winning the tournament or the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland, The Associated Press reported.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Instead, Woods was accused of disrespecting golf and probed on whether a rumored divorce with his wife was final.
"I'm not going to go into that," Woods said calmly about his relationship with Elin Nordengren.
Two reporters mentioned that Woods seemed "unhappy" or "upset" during a practice round at St. Andrews – prompting Woods to reply: "I was fine this morning. I don't know what you're talking about."
Another question began this way: "[Golfer] Tom Watson has said you need to clean up your act on the golf course. He's gone on record. Many of us over the years have heard you use the F word, we've seen you spit on the course, and we've seen you throw tantrums like chucking your clubs around."
"Are you willing to cut out all those tantrums this week and respect the home of golf?" Woods was asked.
"I'm trying to become a better player and a better person, yes," Woods said, steely-eyed.
One split the golfer had no trouble talking about was his decision to part ways with the Titleist putter he's used for the last 11 years in favor of a Nike "Method" model for the tourney.
"I've always been tempted to change my putter on slower greens and I've always struggled when greens are really slow," Woods explained. "I've always felt more comfortable when the greens are quick."
The British Open begins Thursday.

It's widely known that, as Samsung re-invented themselves as a modern smartphone maker, they took considerable, almost absurd, inspiration from Apple. Yet copying design may not have been the only way Samsung used Apple's work to slingshot themselves to the top of the smartphone marketshare charts. Unlike every other Android manufacturer on the planet, Samsung was and is also Apple's manufacturing partner, and that might have given them a huge advantage in terms of financed capacity and knowledge of future plans. Horace Dediu addresses that very point on Asymco:
Receiving funds with which to build capacity is an enormous help when turning on production for your own versions of the product. With that knowledge and the capacity built to serve Apple, Samsung was able to go from near zero market share in smartphones to being the largest vendor in two years a feat that Apple itself could not accomplish.
James Allworth follows up on Asymco in greater detail, on how Apple can cope with this type of threat from Samsung.
So, what's Apple got to do? In so much as it is able to trust its suppliers of key components not to become competitors, it can continue to use them. But where it can't, or where those suppliers have already become competitors, it has only one sensible choice — replace them. It has two choices here: the first (and obvious one) is with another supplier. But that risks the same thing happening all over again — Apple nursing another supplier into a competitor. The second choice: for components and services that are critical to maintaining competitive advantage in the markets which Apple plays, Apple needs to build the components themselves.
Apple has already switched to designing their own chipsets with the Apple A6, and will be manufacturing a Mac in the US next year. The damage with Samsung is already done, however. Apple showed them how to design and manufacturer smartphones at scale, and Samsung, to their credit, learned quickly and well.
Arguably, Samsung hasn't — yet — done as well in tablets as it has in smartphones, but either way there's no putting their genie back in the bottle. All Apple can do now is prevent another partner from becoming a competitor.

Eight of my books are available on Google Books as 100% online, downloadable, but no Creative Commons licensing. Now I am starting to see them show up in bookstores, in versions I didn't have printed. Amazon has a listing beginning with a statement that is both boilerplate and false:
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
And then it cites the actual publication date, 2008.
What's the best way to deal with these? Is this legal, given that I gave permission to download but not any Creative Commons license? Is there a
firstname.lastname@example.com or other such email address one can request? And can I request that references to this paperback be redirected to my actual ebook or the hardcover I published on Lulu?
Is there any way to request that monies tendered to unauthorized printing be redirected to me?

Chris promised me last night I was going to get up the same time as him today and WORK. So this morning I was rudely awakened with the covers being ripped off me and a squirt gun to the face, which he totally used! (at 5 am). . . which didn't end until I was out of bed, and out of our bedroom.
This is the project he gave me to do today:
(This is just a portion of our backyard. . . It all looks like this. . .)
Fun huh?! One of the reasons I married Chris is that he is the ONLY guy who will put me in my place and won't let me be (to much of) a princess. Occasionally I have to remind myself that this is what I believed to be an "endearing" quality of his. So, assuming I don't die of severe heat exhaustion and painful prickles in my hands, I will post an after picture.
I am still not done. . . but here is an update.

Týn School - Old Town Square 14/604, Old Town
Old Town Square 14/604, Old Town
Originally two Gothic houses were joined together at the beginning of the 15th century and in the first half of the 16th century adapted in early Renaissance style. The arcades and rooms on the groundfloor preserved their Gothic and Renaissance vaults. On the first floor there is a fresco of the Assumption of Our Lady from the 18th century, then there are two-storey Renaissance gables above it. From the end of the 14th century until mid-19th century there was a school, afterwards it was converted into flats. The architect Matěj Rejsek used to work in the Týn school as a teacher and chancellor at the end of the 15th century.

Free Range Eggs Hold Health Benefits Over Commercial Foes
COLUMBIA - Sometimes our hobbies grow into a passion and Carl Korschgen is no exception.
Korschgen, a former ornithologist with two degrees in zoology, started raising chickens five years ago and now has way more than he can eat.
"We have not bought eggs from the grocery store in five years," he said.
Despite including eggs in at least one meal a day, he and his wife Ann give away dozens of eggs to friends and neighbors every week. These aren't for the average omelets though because their eggs are free-range.
Several studies compiled by National Geographic indicate that free-range eggs have more health benefits than their commercial cousins. Research showed free-range eggs have more vitamin A and vitamin E; both are antioxidants that protects cells from damage. Free-range eggs also had more omega-3 fatty acids, which decrease the risk of some cancers, as well as less fat and cholesterol. The differences stem from the unique diets of free-range and caged chickens.
"There just isn't as much vitamin A or carotenoids in the corn and soybean meal so there's a difference in the carotene in the diets," former chicken farmer Fred Martz said of caged chickens' diets.
According to Martz, who is also a professor emeritus in animal sciences at MU, free-range chickens will get 25 percent of their diet from pasture, which is rich in carotene and contributes to their eggs' orange yolks. Free-range chickens like Korschgen's also get a more diverse diet. Korschgen's chickens enjoy grasshoppers, bugs, frogs, cantaloupe, spinach, grass, tomatoes and berries.
All the perks of free-range eggs come at a price. According to the USDA, the average dozen of eggs cost slightly over one dollar. Korschgen estimates a dozen of free-range eggs costs between three and five dollars. Though the two types of eggs have different make ups, not everyone can distinguish them.
"To be honest with you, I can't taste the difference," Martz said.
The question becomes free-range or commercial eggs? There's an easy answer. Find a Carl Korschgen near you who'd gladly let you see and taste the difference.

On the Blink
Honolulu is full of amazing, historic neon. Some of it isn't in such great shape anymore.
(page 1 of 2)
In 1978, HONOLULU Magazine ran a story entitled "Neon Signs Are Coming Back." Fluorescent lights had threatened to kill off the glowing tubes in the late '60s, but, a decade later, the warm, custom look of neon was popping up all over town.
Thirty years later, many of those classic signs have gone dark. Businesses have disappeared, taking their signage with them, other signs have simply been neglected. Technology isn't helping: LED lights are taking over the classic neon option in new signs, and mass-produced neon "Open" signs have all but replaced the old, custom-built ones.
Von Monroe, owner of local sign shop Strictly Neon, laments the change. "These days, Open signs all come from Costco and Sam's Club. Now you drive down the street and every Open sign looks the same. There's no individuality."
Honolulu's restrictive signage regulations haven't made it easy to preserve old neon, either. The iconic Leonard's Bakery sign rusted and sagged for years before the bakery was able to get a variance to renovate the sign. The owners of Mauna Kea Galleries also faced an uphill battle to keep the old McCully Chop Sui sign lit.
"There's aren't that many working signs left. The state and the city and county aren't very interested in allowing people to retain them," says Monroe.
It may just be a matter of time before Honolulu's neon gets the respect it deserves. Ralph Kam, dean of Honolulu Community College and a self-professed neon buff, says neon played an integral role in making Honolulu look the way it does today. "If you think about Hawaii's aesthetic history, you can't overlook those historic signs," he says. "The Wo Fat sign, the Hawaii Theatre marquee, all the Consolidated movie houses."
Honolulu's first neon sign flickered to life on Feb. 19, 1929, with the opening of Gump's Waikiki an antiques and home furnishing store. (The Gump Building today houses the Louis Vuitton boutique.) Gump's and its sign are now long gone, but the colorful technology at the time quickly became all the rage.
Chinatown's red-light district—with its strip clubs, bars and tattoo joints—became an obvious neon hotspot, but you could also find bright signs promoting everything from family restaurants to fresh Island eggs.
There was even a local superstar neon "bender" (as they're called): Robert "Bozo" Shigemura. He got his start in the late 1920s, and crafted such famous signs as the original Hawaii Theatre marquee, and the Wo Fat Chop Sui and Club Hubba Hubba signs. HONOLULU Magazine's '78 profile of the recently retired bender noted his minor celebrity status: "Anytime is the right time for gratis cookies and milk at Famous Amos; theaters, restaurants and clothing stores throw out warm welcomes—and who knows what might result from those blushing pink letters atop the Club Hubba Hubba?"

[May 02, 2014]
Some 10 years ago, Judy Monts
purchased her first daylily. She was intrigued because the daylily
was named Judith, her given name, and up until then she did not
realize daylilies had names. At the Monts' home, 520 Decatur St. in
Lincoln, she now has over 400 varieties of daylilies, carefully
labeled with their respective names. The plants range from the more
common ones to plants for which she has paid $175 as a new
It is from this vast collection of daylilies that she will choose
and dig the varieties she will offer for sale at her home on May 10
from 8 a.m. to noon, to benefit the Harvest of Talents for World
Hunger, a ministry of Lincoln Christian Church. All of the daylilies
for sale will be offered at $5 each, regardless of what she paid for
This is the third year that Monts has hosted a daylily sale, as
her passion for flower gardening has now coupled with a passion to
provide food for hungry people.
"I am honored to have this opportunity to do what I love to do
(growing daylilies) while helping those who are hungry," she said.
Anyone sharing her love for daylilies will certainly want to mark
their calendar for this sale, where the selection will be great and
the bargains even greater. A variety of other perennials will also
be offered for sale. Where else can you purchase lovely plants for a
bargain price and feed a hungry person at the same time?

Anyone having questions about her daylilies or the sale may
email Judy at
"Do not worry. Consider the (day)lilies of the field, how they
grow, they neither toil nor spin, and yet I say to you that even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these." --
Matthew 8:28-29

Wayland faculty, staff kick-off new year with spirit
PLAINVIEW - Faculty and staff at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview kicked off the start of the 2003-04 academic year with words of inspiration from administrators and guests.
Dr. Paul Armes, president of the university, opened the two-day employee development event with encouragement from Philippians 2:1-11, in which the apostle Paul exhorted the church to "Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose" (v. 2).
"Look for new ways of becoming effective team members," Armes encouraged the gathering of nearly 200 faculty and staff members from Plainview and some of Wayland's external campuses.
Using points from Patrick Lencioni's book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Armes urged employees to avoid the common themes that break down teams - lack of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability and inattention to results - and cling to the family atmosphere that has made the university a special place for its students and employees.
Dr. Bob Agee, executive director of the Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools and former president at Oklahoma Baptist University, addressed the gathering as the keynote speaker, sharing encouragement and a challenge in two sessions. He began by adding his encouragement to the staff at the start of the school year.
"I consider one of the privileges of my life as being involved in Baptist education," he said. "You are making a difference. We impact the world one by one through our students."
Agee outlined the characteristics of religious-based institutions, breaking them into three groups: the formerly Christian universities, the formally Christian universities and the intentionally Christian universities. Placing Wayland in the last category, Agee encouraged schools that set out to challenge students but adhere to the core beliefs of their founding and maintain the Christian atmosphere that sets such schools apart.
He also touched on the importance of faith and learning and faith and disciplines as a core of what makes a Christian university distinctive and encouraged faculty to let those discussions happen regularly among themselves and administrators.
Besides informational sessions and updates from administrators, employees were also treated to goodies featuring the Wayland logo and were introduced to new faculty and staff. Sodexho food services hosted a Texas barbecue picnic on the lawn outside Harral Auditorium on Thursday night for employees and their families, with entertainment by Texas in the Swing. A "Wayland family picnic" was held on Friday on the campus as freshmen were moving into the dormitories.

Keith Elliot Greenberg, an interview
Onstage and Backstage podcast from Hal Leonard is available on iTunes and Libsyn. Each episode authors and their guests have a chat about the topics of their books. Today, Keith Elliot Greenberg talks about his book December 8, 1980: The Day John Lennon Died on Off the Meter with Jimmy Failla. This episode has been re-posted on Onstage and Backstage podcast with permission of Off the Meter.
December 8, 1980: The Day John Lennon Died follows the events leading to the horrible moment when Mark David Chapman – the paunchy, mentally ill Beatles fan – calmly fired his Charter Arms .38 Special into the rock icon, realizing his perverse fantasy of attaining perennial notoriety. New York Times-best-selling author Keith Elliot Greenberg takes us back to New York City and the world John Lennon woke up to, and we follow the other Beatles, Lennon's family, the shooter, fans, and New York City officials through the day. Once the fatal shots are fired, the pace only becomes more breathless.

If you need some guidance with the ingredients, you can check my Korean Cooking 101. ;)
2 tbsp. red pepper powder
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
chopped garlic
1 tbsp. anchovy broth, beef broth, or water
5 anchovies
1 dried seaweed/kelp
seafood mixture
1 package of soft tofu
1/8 tsp. sesame oil
1 egg
chopped green onion
Step 1:
In a small bowl, add the ingredients. You need red pepper powder, soy sauce, salt, garlic, and anchovy broth or water is just fine. Mix it and put it in the refrigerator. You can use it in 3 days and it's good for 2 weeks.
Step 2:
In a pot, make anchovy broth. You will need water, anchovies, and dried seaweed/kelp. Cook it for 15-20 minutes.
Then take out the anchovies and kelp (I use this later). Add the red pepper powder mixture we made in step 1.
Then add the seafood mixture and beef. I didn't add beef since it's not the most healthiest for my father. You can add anything else you want like oysters, mussels, etc...
After 10 minutes of cooking the seafood, add the soft tofu.
I used this, but you can use any soft tofu.
Towards the end of cooking, I added sesame oil and an egg. I cooked it for 5 more minutes then I topped it off with green onions and chopped up kelp I used for the broth. Now you can eat with rice and kim-chi! :)
There are websites that sell luxury products for cheap (30-50% off) during a certain time period. They sell from fashion (clothes, shoes), accessories (jewelries, bags), and to cosmetics. For example, they're selling Lancome products and Marc Jacob sunglasses at Hautelook at the moment.
Some of websites I know are (alphabet order)...
Gilt Groupe
Regent's Secret/Billion Dollar Babes
Rue La La
If you like an invite to any of these, please comment with your e-mail address, as well as, which sites you would like an invite to!!! :)
I'm going to end my post with an item I bought last week with my friend. For anyone in Burbank, there's a store in the mall that sells Japanese products. I bought this facial sponge cleaner.
I haven't tried it out yet, but I definitely will soon... hehe~

FreeDarko's Bethlehem Shoals, a regular contributor to NBA FanHouse and co-author of The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History (visit the FreeDarko store, too!), is keeping a game-by-game diary of the Heat's season — the one you're pretending not to care about.
Note: Bethlehem Shoals is taking the next couple of columns off because of a scheduling conflict. Filling in for him is Eric Freeman, a FreeDarko regular and one of the authors of The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History.
Results: Hornets 96, Heat 93; Heat 101, Nets 89
Record: 5-2
Since Decision Day on July 8, NBA observers and fans have wondered who would take the last shot for the Miami Heat. Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have both controlled crunch time throughout their careers, and both would gladly take on the same role for the Heat. No matter how many times LeBron and others said in the media that South Beach belongs to Wade, the last shot will define whose team this really is.
We got our answer Friday against the Hornets. It was Eddie House. Hopefully one of you made some money off it by picking "the field" in a Vegas prop bet.
The scene, if you missed it: Down three points with seven seconds remaining, the Heat inbounded to Wade near the top of the key, who passed to House coming off a screen on the left wing. House, who had missed all six of his three-point attempts and made only two of eight shots up until that point, saw his shot clank off the rim and into the hands of the Hornets.
It was a huge letdown, and not only because neither Wade nor James had a direct impact on the game's final play. By most appearances, Erik Spoelstra drew up this play for House, deciding to let the fate of his team rest in the hands of a career backup with a reputation for being extremely streaky.
Yet the choice was largely in keeping with the Heat's approach to this season after nearly two weeks of play. Although Miami owned the summer after putting three stars on the same stage, they've been more than willing to let the contributions of their role players determine their quality on any given night. With defenses keying on James and Wade, the stars seem fine with passing off to players like House, Udonis Haslem, James Jones, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas for open 15-footers. (This group seems to include Bosh more and more with each passing game. When not a team's focal point, he doesn't appear to be much more than a very tall jump shooter.)
This strategy is fairly normal — after all, the Lakers have relied on contributions from Ron Artest, Derek Fisher, and Andrew Bynum to win the last two championships. It's still disappointing, though. As Shoals has said several times already in this space, the Heat hold our gaze because they promise something we've never seen before on a basketball court. They're playing like past champions have instead of creating their own style. Hopefully it's only a testing period and not a sign of things to come.
Enough about style for now — let's talk about results. This was the second loss for the Heat, and altogether a more shocking one than the season opener against Boston. While the Celtics took the Lakers to seven games last June, the Hornets are a recovering lottery team with a star in Chris Paul who has hinted he may want to create his own superteam, perhaps in New York. Plus, the Heat didn't have a near-teamwide meltdown as they did in Boston.
It would be a cliche to say this game was a sign that a single homegrown star can do more than a bunch of mercenaries playing for their own egos. That's bullshit, of course. What this game really proved is that Paul — whose Hornets are now one of two remaining undefeated teams at 6-0 — is still the best point guard in the league and capable of defeating presumably superior teams on the strength of his own brilliance. His final line: 13 points, 19 assists, and five steals. In case you forget, the Celtics beat the Heat largely because of Rajon Rondo's own domination. This week, Miami faces Utah's Deron Williams (Tuesday) and Rondo again (Thursday). Along with Paul, those are the three best point guards in the league. It's too early to say the Heat have a hole in their defense, but if they get eaten up by Williams and Rondo, we may have a legitimate trend.
Oh yeah, the Heat had another game this weekend against the Nets at home. After an easy win in New Jersey last week, Miami entered as a giant favorite, but for a half the Nets looked like strong competition, trailing by only four at the half. But the Heat turned it into a laugher within minutes of the restart, opening up a 19-point margin by the end of the quarter to make the fourth a formality. It was also the first time the triumvirate all scored 20 points in the same game, although it seemed less like a milestone than a byproduct of facing an inferior squad for 48 minutes.
The game played by a script we'll see performed throughout the year. At the start, Wade and James seemed happy to defer to their teammates and pick their spots to score. Then, in the second half, they overpowered a lottery team in a rush of dominance. The win was so expected that it risked becoming professional rather than exciting. This is just what great players do when they punch the clock.
Except James and Wade every so often make you bite your own hat out of pure, ecstatic joy. Here's a highlight from the game-deciding third-quarter run:
If this diary sometimes sounds as if it's complaining about a team that's played only seven games, that's because we know that plays like this one are possible. So far, Dwyane and Lebron have had a hard time playing off each other in their half-court sets. But when they get out on the break, there's always the possibility that they'll rewrite the rules of the game.
It's why the Heat remain appointment television even though they look for now like a very good team rather than a transcendent one. And it's why I'll keep coming back for as long as it takes them to make dunks like this a regular occurrence.

Bears MLB D.J. Williams out for season with torn pectoral muscle
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Chicago Bears middle linebacker D.J. Williams will miss the remainder of the season because of a chest injury.
Williams ruptured his left pectoral muscle tendon during Thursday's win over the New York Giants.
MORE: Bears finally get it right | Week 6 in photos
Coach Marc Trestman was not sure on Friday how the injury occurred. Williams, signed in the offseason to help replace Brian Urlacher, left in the third quarter, the latest injury for a defense that's had its share. The Bears visit Washington next week, and with Williams out, rookie Jonathan Bostic figures to start in his place.
Season-ending knee injuries to defensive tackle Henry Melton and his replacement Nate Collins, not to mention a turf toe injury that's kept Stephen Paea out of the past two games, have forced Chicago to do some major shuffling in the interior. Corey Wootton had to move inside from defensive end and Julius Peppers has been seeing time there, too.
Besides those issues, Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman has dealt with groin and right knee problems in recent weeks. The knee issue kept him out of Thursday's game, although Trestman said he would have been able to play if the game was on Sunday.
Even when the Bears were healthy, they had some issues on defense, particularly with their pass rush. They rank 30th in the league with eight sacks. Julius Peppers hasn't dominated the way he did in the past, and he's not getting much help from the rest of the line.
Now, they're trying to fill major gaps in the lineup, and the list just grew again with Williams' injury.
"We're not making excuses, but again, we're sitting there without Charles," Trestman said. "We're sitting there without Stephen. We've got some young guys in there working. They haven't worked (with) Peppers. They haven't worked with Shea (McClellin) as much. Corey is inside, working inside. But I do believe that just experience-wise, playing 36 minutes (against New Orleans) and the type of game we played on Sunday did have a residual effect on our defense last night."
As for Williams, he started four of the six games he played and had 35 tackles and two sacks. In 10 seasons with Denver and Chicago, he has 921 tackles, 22 1/2 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries and two interceptions.
He was getting sort of a second chance when he signed a one-year deal with Chicago in March after missing nine games with Denver last season while serving a pair of league-mandated suspensions. The Broncos released him on the eve of free agency, freeing them of his $6 million salary.
He served a six-game punishment for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs and three games for an alcohol-related arrest in 2010 that led to a conviction in August 2012.
In Chicago, he had some major shoes to fill. The Bears were moving on after parting ways with Urlacher, the eight-time Pro Bowl pick and longtime face of the franchise.
Complicating matters for Williams, he did not play in the preseason because of a calf injury. That created opportunities for Bostic, who showed some promise.
Now, he'll have a bigger role.
"He's going to get a lot of work on Monday and during the week," Trestman said. "It's the next-man-up mentality and I think he's mentally ready to take on playing that position. The experience that he had will certainly help him down the road."
The injury news wasn't all bad for the Bears. Trestman said strong side linebacker James Anderson should be OK after hurting his back against the Giants.
"There's nothing serious there," Trestman said.

Ohio kidnap case hero gets year of free McDonald's
CLEVELAND (AP) -- The man who famously put down his Big Mac to help rescue three women held captive for years in a Cleveland house will get free McDonald's for the next year, a company spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.
Local franchisees in Charles Ramsey's neighborhood have offered him free food at their restaurants, said Heidi Barker, a spokeswoman for Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's Corp.
Ramsey was called a hero after helping Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight break out of the house May 6. Homeowner Ariel Castro faces charges. His defense team has said he will plead not guilty.
Ramsey had noted in an interview with a local TV station that he was eating McDonald's when the scene unfolded. He also spoke of it in a 911 call. Both the interview and the call quickly became popular online, and McDonald's caught wind of Ramsey's mentions.
The world's biggest hamburger company had said a day after the rescue on Twitter: "We salute the courage of Ohio kidnap victims & respect their privacy. Way to go Charles Ramsey -- we'll be in touch."
Barker said local McDonald's owner-operators later connected with Ramsey.
"Out of respect for the survivors of this harrowing ordeal and the ongoing investigation, we have not shared publicly details of our outreach," Barker said in an email.
McDonald's also has made a $10,000 donation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the names of the three women and Ramsey, Barker said.
Ramsey has also been promised free burgers for life at more than a dozen Cleveland-area restaurants.
The restaurant where Ramsey worked as a dishwasher initially created a special burger in his honor, but eateries in the city decided a larger tribute was due, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported.
The newspaper said Ramsey was traveling and would get his reward when he returns.

First-time feature director Abe Sylvia writes and directs this feature about a young hussy who wants to find her biological father, and heads out on the highway with her chubby gay friend. Juno Temple handles the lead role with a great feeling for the comedy, as well as the drama, ensuring Dirty Girl never feels soulless or exploitative, as it tells a familiar coming-of-age story set against a glitzy '80s backdrop.
Starring: Juno Temple, Jeremy Dozier and Milla Jovovich
Rating: Three stars out of five
"Nobody likes a dirty girl," says the school principal to our tarted-up hussy of a heroine in the opening scene of Abe Sylvia's comedy. And for the first half-hour, he's right.
Nobody really likes Danielle (Juno Temple), the young woman who uses her sexuality to get what she needs from life. A bad girl who takes pride in giving it all away for free, because it gives her a sense of displaced empowerment by "being on top," Danielle is desperate for attention.
Largely ignored by her own aging hottie of a mother (Milla Jovovich), Danielle is quite content to engage in screaming matches with her Mommy Dearest, Sue-Ann, until they hit the wall of Mormon.
Mom wants to marry "good guy" Ray (William H. Macy), a latter-day saint with kids of his own. But Danielle is certain a Mormon wedding is the fastest way to Hell, and without any hope of changing her mother's mind, decides to bail on the big occasion.
Obsessed with finding her biological father, Danielle convinces her new best friend Clarke (Jeremy Dozier) to steal his dad's Cadillac and head to Las Vegas with little more than a fistful of dollars and a bag of flour they call Joan.
A note of explanation: Joan is part of a school project, and, in keeping with the larger themes of parenting and taking responsibility for your actions, Clarke and Danielle have been assigned to nurture a bag of flour as they would a child.
It's a tad contrived, and a gag we've seen before, but debut feature director-writer Abe Sylvia turns the small things into screen delights, because he gets the tone right.
Too often, directors try to force us into liking oddball characters, because they are quirky and different, without actually ensuring there's a solid basis of empathy to stand on.
Danielle and Clarke are classic examples of this outsider desire to elevate the underdog to hero status. Danielle is the misunderstood harlot with the heart of gold, while Clarke is the obese gay boy who dreams of hot sex with the high-school jocks.
If you can get beyond the moments of generic scripting that make this movie feel like a quilt of teen movies from the past two decades, you'll have no problem accessing the sweetness sandwiched in between clunky moments of over-contrived kitsch.
This may be a road trip movie about two oddball kids who get into all kinds of trouble, but there's a poignant message about family, love and finding your place at the heart of the film.
Juno Temple has enough range and scope to present all these dimensions in every scene. Moreover, she doesn't go for the easy beats -- which is something very few ingenues can do, especially when it comes to sexuality.
Instead of really pushing her physical assets and playing coquette in a way that might turn the audience on, Temple always projects just enough pathos into the sassy seduction to make us feel the endless sadness of her situation.
It's hard watching smart people do stupid things, but Sylvia keeps our attention, because it's a colourful car wreck, and he populates every accident scene with real talents. Jovovich seems to be enjoying a career Renaissance in middle age, and she does a fantastic job with Sue-Ann -- a woman who realizes she's been a bad mother, and comes to grips with her own selfishness.
Macy is expectedly solid as the Mormon nerd, and Mary Steenburgen proves that the best actors happily surrender their vanity -- because she's unrecognizable as Clarke's abused mother.
A fluffy piece of comedy that finds unexpected heft, thanks to some deft performance work, Dirty Girl is worth a one-nighter.
What's On Tonight for

I'll tell you a secret. I almost got myself in some serious trouble at my TV job a few years back because of something I wrote. It wasn't this column, just a short two-sentence email I sent to a television viewer. Some guy sent three emails to everyone at Fox23 in the span of 24 hours, telling me how much he hated watching me on the news. From my look, to my face, to the way I spoke, everything about me bothered him. I let the first two emails go without response, but after the third one arrived, I asked myself that age-old question. What would Ed Dague do? I grew up in this business watching and learning from the smartest news guy I've ever met, Mr. Dague, so when I find myself in a journalistic quandary, I ask myself how Ed would handle it. I wrote the email man a very polite response, saying simply, "Sir I've been doing this for 20 years, my style is my style and it's a little late in the game for me to change everything about myself. If watching me bothers you this much, you probably should watch someone else." I thought it was a fair and measured response. My boss at the time did not. The woman who ran the television station yelled at me in front of my co-workers saying I broke the cardinal rule -- you never, ever, under any circumstances, tell a viewer to watch someone else. I showed her the venom-filled emails that I was peppered with but she didn't care, telling me I was to immediately go into the administrative function of my Microsoft Outlook and retrieve the email. Maybe it was the Irish in me or the fact that I thought I was right, but I refused. She then had the office IT go against my wishes while the newsroom watched, so I went home before I said something I'd regret. The next day she asked me if I'd ever send an email like that again and I told her, "Six days a week and twice on Sunday." Within a few months, she moved on to another job and I'd like to think she pops a Tums antacid every time I cross her mind. I thought of this little incident when I saw the video of the television anchor in Wisconsin who responded to a viewer who called her fat. Worse, he told her she was a poor example to viewers. I'm sure you saw her brave response. I use the word "brave" because it takes guts to stand up to a bully and that's exactly what this person was, a bully. Like a lot of cowards, he cloaked his email in the fog of "I'm doing you a favor by telling you what no one else will tell you." But that's just a passive aggressive and sneaky way of hurting someone without having to take responsibility for your words. As you'd expect, lots of people came to the TV anchor's defense and applauded the way she handled it. She turned the attack on her into a "teachable moment" and got the nation talking about bullying. What saddens me personally is the number of people who did not have her back. Some of those people I know and previously respected. I had no idea they thought it was OK to call people names. The one thing I heard over and over again was, "Hey, if you want to be on TV, you have to expect this." Expect what? People to be rude and ignorant? That's all this is. Just because someone is in the public eye does not give anyone the right to take cheap shots. If you don't like the appearance of the weather girl, change the channel. Trust me when I tell you, some of the prettiest people in this world are the ugliest on the inside and, yes, some of them work in television. When I see a television reporter who isn't model beautiful or flaunting washboard abs, I immediately think they must be incredibly good at their job. Somehow they got past the gauntlet of consultants and focus groups and randy bosses to make a place for themselves in a world that is far too often intoxicated with beauty. This anchor in Wisconsin is a wonderful journalist, wife and mother, but because she doesn't fit in a size 2 dress, this man viewed her as a poor role model. How pathetic. We all see people at the mall or at the beach dressed in a way we may find silly or, by our standards, inappropriate. Would you go up to them in person and say, "I just wanted to tell you how fat you look in those pants?" No, we wouldn't because we know two things would happen -- first, we'd run the risk that they'd punch us in the face. Second, and more important I think, we'd most certainly see the hurt in their eyes as we leveled this cruel observation. It's easy to hurt people over the Internet because you don't have to see their face when they read your poison. I guess we shouldn't be surprised by any of this. After all, we have people flocking to a website called "The People of Wal-Mart" so they can laugh at photos taken of innocent people, behind their backs, designed only to humiliate. I'm sure the same people who think it's alright to call the TV anchor in Wisconsin fat think the people at Wal-Mart are also fair game and "asking for it." Anyone who revels in these kinds of vicious websites or hurls insults from the shadows of a computer screen should take a hard look in the mirror. None of us is perfect and, in the end, all the cardio and facelifts and tummy tucks won't keep us all from the same destination. Besides, life is short and someone up above just might be keeping score on the crap that comes out of our mouths. So be nice. John Gray is a news anchor on WXAA-Fox TV 23. His column is published Wednesdays in The Saratogian. Email JohnGray@fox23news.|com

Editor's note: This recipe is excerpted from Aglaia Kremezi's book The Foods of the Greek Islands.
To read more about Kremezi and Greek Easter, click here.
This recipe comes from Andros, and it is one of the most delicious ways to cook a whole Easter spring lamb or kid. The various spring wild greens on the island, seasoned with fennel, mint and other aromatic herbs, together with the local slightly sour fresh cheese, are used to make the stuffing. In my version, instead of a whole tiny lamb, I use a shortened leg of lamb (shank half) partly boned, to make room for the stuffing. The result is quite different but equally enticing.
Serve with Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano.
- Yield
- Makes 4 to 6 servings
- 1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 fennel bulb, trimmed (fronds and tender stalks reserved), halved and thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced scallions (white and most of the green parts)
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped garlic, plus 2 garlic cloves, quartered
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped mixed greens (such as baby spinach, tender Swiss chard leaves, miner's lettuce, pea shoots, orache, green amaranth, outer leaves of escarole or romaine lettuce, and/or beet greens)
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, preferably freshly ground or crushed in a mortar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1 3 1/2-to-4 pound half leg of lamb (shank half), some fat left on, shank bone left in, hip end of bone removed (have the butcher do this, or see Note)
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, plus more if needed
- 1/2 cup chopped fennel fronds plus tender stalks, or fresh dill
- In a large skillet, heat the oil and sauté the fennel bulb over medium heat until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions and chopped garlic and sauté for 2 minutes more. Add the greens and sauté, stirring, until wilted. Remove from the heat and stir in the fennel seeds and pepper to taste. Let cool, and then add the mint.
- Make 8 small slits randomly in the lamb and insert the garlic quarters.
- Transfer half of the greens mixture to a small bowl. Add the cheese to the greens remaining in the skillet. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding salt if necessary (Feta is usually quite salty). Stuff the lamb with the cheese mixture, squeezing it to extract the excess juices; add some of the remaining greens if needed; the lamb should be well stuffed. Close the opening with toothpicks. Rub the lamb all over with the remaining greens. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the over to 450°F.
- Scrape the greens off the surface of the lamb and reserve. Brush the lamb with oil and sprinkle with the oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Place the lamb in a roasting pan that just holds it comfortably, preferably clay or Pyrex one. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the wine to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Add the reserved greens.
- Pour the greens mixture over the lamb and roast for 5 minutes more. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and roast the lamb, basting frequently with the pan juices, adding a little more wine to the pan if necessary, for about 30 minutes longer, or until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135°F for medium. Remove the lamb from the oven, sprinkle with the chopped fennel or dill, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Carve the lamb and serve, passing the pan juices in a bowl or sauceboat at the table.
- NOTE: Alternatively, you can use a butterflied leg of lamb. Spread the stuffing over the lamb, roll it up and tie it. Marinate and roast as directed.

- Name: MarekMahut, SergioPascual, LubomirRintel
Interested people
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 11
- Last updated: 26th Mar 2009
- Percentage of completion: 95%
Detailed Description
Manage to review and include a set of essential and non-essential tools for astronomers in Fedora and provide a Live media containing these tools. The idea is to make it possible for a person to unpack his telescope, boot the CD/USB stick on his notebook and just enjoy the sky.
Benefit to Fedora
At the moment, there is no such distribution which offers a set of professional open-source tools for astronomers and astrophysicists and Fedora is very popular in astronomers' environment (that it is strongly linux-based). Best benefit would be enlargement of our community not only to astronomers, but potentially to universities and other scientific environments.
Requires to review open source market for such tools, introduce selected packages in Fedora and with the release 11 of Fedora provide a spin with these packages.
- Include packages in Fedora (status: done)
- Build a list of candidate softwares (status: Features/FedoraAstronomy/Packages)
- Review these candidates and select potential software (status: done)
- Package properly selected software (status: done)
- Build a Live CD/usb stick with these packages (status: done)
- Select from build packages those which will be included in the media (status: done)
- Build the final kick start (status: in progress)
- Distribute (status: pending)
Test Plan
- Package has been tested as part of Fedora release schedule.
User Experience
- Powerful completely open-source and free tool for amateurs and professionals.
- The list of candidates packages is the first step to build. It will be presented in this section.
Contingency Plan
- This feature would not affect Fedora in any critical way. Packages will be reviewed and tested separately and the spin also.
- Documentation is usually provided separately with each software. Brief description of each package will be described in this section.
- Answer to question will be bring with time. Feel free to put here any question regarding this feature.
- Here a set of astronomy apps on Linux which might be interesting: KStars , Xephem , Celestia , Stellarium , Partiview . -- RolandWolters
- Xephem is not GPL-compatible software, KStarts, Stellarium and Celestia are in Fedora and we are working on Partiview... -- MarekMahut
- I want iraf... -- MamoruTasaka
- Unfortunately it has licensing issues :( -- MarekMahut

DRHOOK- Bullies: They're not just on the playground
Bullies. Do you know some or have you known some? Normally when you think of a bully, you think of a kid, but trust me: there are plenty of adult bullies. My fifth-grade reading teacher used to call me racists names (though always Chinese and Japanese because he didn't know what Korean was). Mind you, this was in NoWhereLand, Ohio– there they were even racist to the animals.
What does a doctor do with a patient who's a bully?
My advice to other doctors: run! I learned in college, medical school, residency, and fellowship that doctors should try to work with all sorts of people. There usually is something in a patient's past that explains some unacceptable behaviors.
However, as my religion professor in college taught me with his extremely heavy German accent, "Du cannot veeson vith a schkeptical or an unveezinable person."
I naively responded to him that I begged to differ. I figured I could win over anyone if I was inquisitive enough, showed interest in the person, made a joke here and there. However, I think Dr. Phil and Judge Judy have shown us that doesn't work on some people.
For sake of anonymity, I'm going to "combine" some examples from my practice into one person.
For example, I had a "lady" who was acerbic as vinegar and biting as a rabid wolf. As soon as she entered the office, complaints would fly like arrows.
"My God! How long do I have to wait? Don't use that blood pressure cuff on me! Your scale is wrong; I weight at least 95 pounds less."
As soon as I entered the exam room, I'd hear the famous words, "Why am I here? Just give me a referral, order my labs and refill my meds." And her arms and legs were crossed like a pretzel.
Sometimes it's the significant other who's anything but an "other." One "gentleman" used to point his finger with accusations and threats so much I thought he was a former Enron worker at a Congressional hearing. Of course, I would try to diffuse the situation and get on their good side– except if there isn't a good side. I was always doomed.
"You and the last 18 doctors don't listen or admit you're wrong! We'll order a doctor on the Internet before we see you again!" Where? Amazon.com?
Some people demand that everything be spelled out for them.
"You didn't mention the 79 side effects written on the package insert! You could have killed me."
Um, it was calcium for your bones. I didn't think it would be such a big deal.
I know we only register about 25 percent of what we hear, but still there are some folks who confuse a doctor's instructions with a song they hear on the radio on the way home.
"Why did Dr. Gaga tell me I can't read her Poker Face?"
Dealing with flip-flopping bullies is like watching a murder scene under a strobe light.
"Get me in that medical center now!"
So I make phone calls, write letters, and spend up to an hour arranging an appointment. "Hi, good news. We got you an appointment for next month!"
"No, I changed my mind. Cancel it."
What'chu talking 'bout, Willis?
Okay, press the cancel button.
And I cannot tell you how many times this happens: the patient calls back a day, week, or month later, "Get me in that medical center now! And get my rarely used expensive medicine authorized by my insurance ASAP!"
I wish I could talk to my college religion professor, may he rest in peace, and tell him I how, so many years later, I now bull-eve him.
Dr. Hook cracks a joke or two, but he's a renowned physician with an interesting website, drjohnhong.com. Email him with your questions.

State advised not to license any new casinos
A consultant says Iowa should focus on reinvesting in existing casinos rather than license any new operations.
Rich Baldwin is managing director of Union Gaming Analytics, and he told the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission on Thursday that, "We do not believe there are any underserved counties in the state of Iowa."
Representatives from Marquette Advisors echoed concerns that new casinos would simply take business from existing casinos.
The consultants were hired by the state regulators to conduct independent evaluations of Iowa's gambling markets.
The Des Moines Register says backers of two proposed casinos disagreed with the consultants, telling the commission the evaluations were based on incomplete data.
The officials from Cedar Rapids and Jefferson have said their projects would create hundreds of jobs and spur growth.

YAY! Time to get marrrrrried (well six months ago it was!) I can't believe that I finally get to post all these pictures now that the show has officially aired! I've waited so long! It was truly a special day with so many special memories and moments and I'm so glad we had such an awesome photographer, Jonathan Moore Photography, there to capture it all. Here are some pictures from before the ceremony!
It was a really long day and we got ready at the church that we were married at, which was the same church that 7th Heaven was filmed at! It was a beautiful church, and they were amazing. There was A LOT going on during our wedding, but it was so special and so full of excitement, it was just a joyful amazing day where we were truly surrounded by so much love and amazing people.
A nervous habit… playing with my ring before we started filming for the day.
It's true, I had NO idea what dress I was going to wear on my wedding day! David walked in with a big white bag and I knew he was going to show me, and I was so hopeful that he would pick number 3! :) Once David showed me what dress I was going to wear, my lifelong dream of wearing my hair down at my wedding went right out the window. It would have been WAY too much going on with all the beading of the dress and my hair down, so we worked together on picking a style of wearing it up, and I don't regret it at all, I loved my hair, and it made me much more 'bridal'.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH still can't believe this was my dress. It was SO light, and shockingly enough laid perfect for the entire day. It was glorious and I felt like a cloud princess. So special. Ines Di Santos was the designer and she is AMAZING. She creates dresses that are so special and different. They are made to lay nice and photograph well.
The shoes I got ready in, they were by Steve Madden and I got them at Nordstrom Rack on sale… I realized they must be at the rack because the next day the bow fell off.
Looking at a picture of me when I was trying on the dress two weeks earlier that one of the crew members took.
Yup, that's the getting ready camp. There were a LOT of people there and they were like busy bees in a hive! I remember one time I was talking to Shea and said man, you know what we forgot to get, Monsters, and before I knew it I had one in my hand. It was magical and everyone was SO nice. It was weird having that much attention on me. The makeup artists were incredible as were the hair stylists, I couldn't believe it was all really happening and I was going to get married!
Magical Monster and my Best Friend. Nothing could be better.
Love this shot. Loved the bouquet, loved the shoes and yup, love the ring. :)
Gah the dress fit like a glove but when you put a mic pack in there it gets TIGHT. Shea was the best zipper-upper though.
Suck it in!
I loved the shoes and loved that they were red! So much fun and I was really proud of myself, because I kept them on the entire night, which is a feat since I NEVER wear heels.
All the boys. The ties were all the same, but they look different in this picture because some of them are different in the light. David didn't change anything about what the boys were going to wear.
David and B. <3
Almost time to walk down the aisle! I LOVED the church. Some people have asked about the flowers in the church, or lack there of. Actually, something that really bothers me is random flowers at the church. Like big sprigs or sprays of randomness, and I love the look of this church, simple clean, nothing distracting, so I'm SO glad there were no flowers. In the wedding we had planned before David came in, I wasn't going to have flowers in the church that we were planning on getting married at, so I wonder if those people would have said that we were missing flowers then? Who knows, but I love how it's focusing on us, not floral arrangements and I love how clean it looks up there, and the wood. I love the color of it.
They sent everyone down the aisle and then I walked through the back door and immediately saw my brother and it was immediately time to walk down the aisle. There was so much emotion and I already was on the brink and didn't want to cry! I told him DO NOT CRY and they opened the doors and we headed down the aisle! My heart was beating out of my chest!
It was AMAZING. Amazing. AMAZING to see all the people we love in one place. As I walked down the aisle I just wanted to get to Bryan and I was so excited and ready to just get married. The church looked fabulous and everyone was so happy and I just wanted to look and say hi to everyone! I loved seeing everyone's reaction and I loved walking down to the bridal march song!
