Making a conscious effort to display finished work, I present you with the installed version of a previous post Balustrade. I could have added several other adjectives to the title but no number of them can describe what these photographs do. How does it go? A picture is worth a thousand adjectives or something like that? Coming from a structural background where most of what I am involved with ends up covered in sheet rock, it is certainly more rewarding to have a project like this on a resume. This is the focal point of this home and First Flight Stairs, from concept to creation, worked with the general contractor and their clients to embellish the interior of the home. The railing and balustrade installation took less than one day due to every prefabricated section fitting accurately together, in unison with staircase previously erected. What is particularly striking to me is the up easing connecting the lower balustrade to the upper balcony. It seems to lend an even "flow" to the stairs symmetry, creating a natural juncture between the two. The front door inlay pattern was also a consideration in the pattern chosen for the balustrade. The nosing for the staircase was coordinated with the flooring install a few weeks ago, so that it was adjusted for the flooring thickness. Usually, the flooring color choice dictates the species and ultimately the stain used for the railing, in this case mahogany. The wall coloring being light accentuates the dark wood flooring.

The poignant aroma of seasoned wood greeted anyone entering our shop for the last few days. Reclaimed heart pine is the species of the lastest First Flight Stairs creation, which makes for a difficult choice of which I enjoy the most; the smell or the beauty of the lumber. Using reclaimed lumber is an ecologically sound decision by recycling and reusing lumber that would have been burnt or scrapped into a landfill. Heart pine can have areas that are very dense due to heavy concentrations of sap. It is more dense in comparison to new lumber, being fully seasoned makes in stronger and stable as well. It adds a special charm to any home it graces with the knowledge it was around in another form as far back as the eighteenth century. Reminants of it's previous life are shared through nail holes and grain pattern variations. The rustic apperance is milled and planed into a product, such as these stair treads, prove this timber still has plenty of life left.

General Actions:
Wiki: Platform ▼: Document Index
Space: DevGuide ▼: Document Index
Page: BestPractices
Since xwiki allows you to put code both in wiki pages and in Java you might wonder where you should put your code. Here are some general guidelines:
Said differently you should use the MVC approach by separating your Model (what we called "business logic" above) from your View (what we called "presentation logic" above).
Class sheet documents should be written using the following construct (this is an example for displaying documents containing XWiki.XWikiUsers objects):
When writing an UI with JavaScript, AJAX takes care of forwarding your action to a background service replying with success or with an error that is then displayed to the user in the same page.
Without JavaScript, we usually use the xredirect query parameter to specify the current page (and state) to which we want to come back after performing an action (by pressing a button, link, submitting a form, etc.).
One common problem when writing UIs without JavaScript in this way is error handling. In other words, how do you handle the situation when the service that you use to perform your action throws an error?
A simplified code for this in the background service that produces the error is:
The idea is that you want to pass the error message to the UI but you don`t have a clear way of doing it, like you have for AJAX calls (response code and response text). A solution is to use the Session in order to pass your error message. You set the error in the service and, in the UI, you read and remove it so that it is only displayed once.
For the background service, it translates to:
On the UI side:
Note that using xredirect's value as session key (prefixed or not) is a good idea because:
Using a prefix as above allows you to have multiple components (wiki macros, gadgets, etc.) in the same page using the same mechanism without collisions.
This method works together with the whole purpose for which we are doing the redirect in the first place (so that the user can refresh the page without re-sending the action or re-posting a form), ensuring that after the first display, on a refresh, the error goes away.

Sh*t Runners Say
Runners are strange creatures. We get up at insane hours of the morning to run insane distances on an almost daily basis. Along with this comes all the banter about these shoes, that injury, and the next best running gadget or race you must run.
Recently talk has turned to barefoot and minimalist running and along with it a whole new topic of discussion for those long Sunday runs. As with anything new or different, you always get the "experts" and those who get a bit over enthusiastic and this is what Steven Sashen of Invisible Shoes has capitalised on for this first video, "Sh*t Barefoot Runners Say"...
Of course, there's also the flip side, which Steven has just captured in his sequel... "Sh*t Runners Say to Barefoot Runners"...
I don't think I've said any of the things in the first, but I've definitely been the recipient of many of the comments in the second.

Constant speculation, analysis and investigation has been conducted this off-season about the grandest off-season spectacle of them all in the NFL: The NFL Draft.
Since the very beginning of the college football season this past year, NFL scouts and College scouts alike have drooled and scrutinized over player performance. From the first snap of the NCAA season back in the fall of 2013, the NFL world has seen potential number one picks vary from Johnny Manziel to Teddy Bridgewater to Jadeveon Clowney to Blake Bortles to everyone in between. One thing that remains constant though has been everybody's differing opinions about the NFL Draft itself. What makes the NFL Draft great is it's ability to remain spontaneous and unpredictable and incredibly exciting. This year the Draft has perhaps one of the best draft classes in recent years not just for Quarterbacks, but for other positions as well. In a lot of ways the draft doesn't mean much, but in other ways it can make or break one team's season.
In my final mock draft before the draft (May 5th), you will see I have made some changes since my last mock draft earlier this month which you can view here. Since the playoffs started I wrote article after article detailing some potential NFL draft choices by various teams. My first were the top 8 picks of the draft, then the Bills and Lions, then another 8 picks, thenDolphins, Cardinals and Packers, then another 8 picks, and finally the Patriots and49ers to top it all off. (You can all click on those links if you so desire). Although some of my picks were perhaps a tad bit unwarranted, I believe with this mock I will do justice to some of those teams who were slighted or those players who were slighted in their analysis. As you can see this mock is a little bit mainstream, but with my explanations and analysis you can hopefully see the vantage point in which I am coming from. (Disclaimer: Do not take offense to any players who were omitted. Many times I would have liked to place a player in a certain position in the draft, however because other players line up better with individual team needs, some players were dropped down or not even included at all. If a good player is not listed, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are bad, it just means that there wasn't room to fit him in terms of this draft organization.
I encourage you to give me your opinions and comments in the comment section below (keep it clean and read the entire mock before you jump to any conclusions, please). Remember that my draft may not necessarily be the same as those on Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Fox Sports or even Yahoo! Sports, but that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. Keep in mind, not even the most brilliant of football geniuses can predict something such as the NFL Draft.
Thus, without further delay, I give you my 2014 NFL Mock Draft, Part Two.

Lone Star Legends Radio Presents Gypsy Moon "Lifting the Veil"
in Paranormal
Lone Star Legends Radio introduces Gypsy Moon in Lifting the Veil. Lone Star Legends Radio strives to bring our listeners new and interesting material every other week and this show will be no exception. The experts say we are all born with psychic abilities and most often we lose these gifts with the realities of life and physical maturity. Had we been brought up in a society that nurtured our God given talents, perhaps our lives would have taken a different path. Gypsy Moon and her family are part of an amazing journey of enlightenment that is generational.
Gypsy was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was the oldest daughter of Cinnamon Moon, who was known as a Medicine woman. Gypsy was aware of her abilities at the tender age of two when she astral projected for the first time and can still recall the vivid details of her experience. Gypsy also experienced spirit activity but it was not until the age of five, that she saw solid apparitions of Native Americans who shot arrows at her feet. Not afraid, she searched for them after they faded away, leading to her first informal investigation, paving the way for her future. Gypsy was raised in total support of her gifts by her mother who guided her and taught her of an enlightened view of the world. Later after moving to a haunted farm house in Wisconsin, Gypsy became acquainted with the ghosts that inhabited the property, calling them "Good Spirits" Her interaction with these spirits honed Gypsy's ability to be a spiritual medium. Today Gypsy travels around the country assisting in paranormal investigations. At one time,Gypsy worked at the geratric unit and assisted many in crossing over with love and compassion. Gypsy is a positive and amazing presence in this world, living life fully, spreading love and joy to those around her.Join us we lift the veil, find our third eye and expand our minds.

One Shirt, Three Looks
We've pulled our Roxy Waves on Waves top, one of our favorite Summer T's for the season, and let three of our in-house Roxy girls put their own unique spin on it, and here's what they came up with.
Look 1: Chelsea went for an off the shoulder casual look and really showed off of the dolman sleeve; which happens to be one of our heavy favorites both on and off the beach.
Robin went retro in Look 2 with some 70s inspired high waisted jeans and the ultimate chain-linked statement necklace. Don't count the graphic tee out from your next tailored look!
Ashton got funky with the shirt in Look 3 by layering the top with a maroon tank, a chunky knit scarf, & some playful heels. She even gave her shirt a nice distress for some extra character (totally stealing this idea!).

Chocolate covered iPad looks tasty
Your wife loves chocolate, and you know she's been eying that 1.5+ lb. bar at the local Trader Joe's like a lion does a gazelle. She's also a massive Apple fan who's been dying for a shiny new iPad for months. Birthday time: the bar, or the iPad? If you're a cheap SOB, you get the bar and call it a day. If you're looking for an excuse to have an iPad in the house, you get the iPad. Or, you can do what this chap did and not only give her both, but fuse them together.
Not only did this guy encase the iPad gift in chocolate (after having carefully wrapped it in plastic first, thankfully), he had to have it shipped from London, England because they're not sold yet in South Africa, where she lives. I don't know about you, but I was cringing as I watched her slice away the chocolate with a knife from the precious prize within.
The sad part of this story, for me, is that my wife would be severely disappointed that she was shorted 1.5+ lbs. of chocolate for a piece of gadgetry goodness.

Guys, you can't just apply general demographics of the servers to the top-tiers of raiding guilds.
Even if 99% of the horde population are kids, the top 0.01% of guilds are going to consist of the best of the best, kids or not. I'm not saying 12 year olds suck at raiding, but if that 12 year old applying for your guild is a bit whiny and doesn't work well with others, he isn't getting into the likes of Nihilium and DnT. Just as likely, if that 24 year old player seems like an arrogant asshole to the rest of your guild, he's not getting in.
For these guilds, it's the matter of skill. Just because 99% of the WoW population sucks, it's because the remaining 1% of guilds have already taken the best.

New York Fashion Week may have ended last week, but we're still reveling in the backstage festivities (and recovering). At this point, however, we've had some time to process it all, and we're ready to deliberate on next season's biggest trends and most fashion-forward looks. Today we've rounded up our favorite hairstyles, from the totally outrageous to the completely wearable. Check back tomorrow and Friday for our top makeup and manicure picks!

We've come to expect serious glamour from the duo that dresses A-listers like Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, and Eva Longoria. And Badgley Mischka's Fall 2013 collection didn't disappoint. For their latest catwalk triumph, the designers drew inspiration from Alfred Hitchock's femme fatales (think Grace Kelly and Tippi Hedren).
Playing on the collection's cinéphile theme, Moroccanoil's lead hair stylist Peter Gray created a retro-inspired updo with a modern twist, while nail guru Deborah Lippman debuted a classic red polish from her upcoming Holiday 2013 collection.
To construct the 'do, Gray started by weaving a classic-school girl braid from the nape of the neck to the top of the crown and fastening the braid with an ecstatic. Next, he fashioned the un-braided fringe into pin curls, pinned down and reinforced with a one-inch barrel curling iron. Finally, he gently racked a wide paddle brush through the wavy rolls on the top of the head to create an undone French brioche shape.
While we watched him work his magic backstage, Gray gave us some practical tips for pulling off the look: never braid clean hair and spritz hair spray onto yours palms for better grip. Gray explained that the finished product complemented the collection's "long silhouettes and elongates the neck fantastically."
We also got a chance to catch up with nail guru Deborah Lippmann. Her unreleased Red Silk Boxers polish added instant pizzazz to the models' nails. And while the 1950s-inspired hue is classic, it dries to a trendy matte finish. Lippmann predicted that matte and textured polishes would be a huge fall trend: "Finish is huge for Fall—it's definitely no longer about a pretty sheer pink."
We expect we'll be seeing these two looks a lot more come September.

This year, summer wedding season has overflowed into fall (some of us have been to three weddings in September alone!). Needless to say, we're running out of updo ideas. But at last week's Badgley Mischka show, we spied a romantic look that we'll be adapting for our next event.
Both the collection and the beauty took inspiration from the 1935 A Midsummer's Night's Dream film adaptation. Created by stylist Peter Gray for Moroccan Oil, the hair was a direct reference to one of the movie's stars, Olivia de Haveland. "There's a scene where she's a woodland nymph and wearing an old gossamer wig; she's white-blonde, everything is back-lit, and her hair is looking very dreamy and chiffon-like," said Gray.
There is nothing we love more than a fresh take on an easy-to-achieve hairstyle. Yesterday at Katie Gallagher, we spied the perfect new iteration of the topknot, one that's messy and expertly side-swept. Lead stylist for Moroccan Oil, Cesar Ramirez, said of the look: "I wanted to add an intricate feeling to something that was really simple and effortless." To add that extra dimension, the back of the hair was sectioned into three twists and then all the pieces were twisted into a topknot. "The less effort the better," said Ramirez, much to our delight (even though he later admitted that anyone with thick hair would need to use a handful of bobby pins). To set the romantic, wispy style, he used Moroccan Oil's Luminous Strong Hold Spray.
Another favorite hairspray is Ojon's Volumizing Styling Spray.
We fell hard for Natalie Alcala last fall, when the LA-based writer and blogger spent a week guest blogging for us. In fact, we loved her posts so much that we asked her to be a contributing editor. In addition to blogging for us once a week, she'll also be writing for the Birchbox Magazine and keeping us up to speed on all things fashion, beauty, and fun.
Did you know that Earth Day is this Sunday, April 22? In addition to contributing to one of the many green organizations taking part in this vital eco-friendly holiday, I'll also incorporate more organic products into my beauty routine. Here's a roundup of some of my favorite ecologically-inclined brands to date.
1. Josie Maran Cosmetics: Actress and model Josie Maran is ridiculously gorgeous, wildly talented, and cares deeply about her environment. (In other words, she's perfect.) Her sophisticated range of beauty products contain pure and gentle formulas that are free of parabens, toxins, and animal testing. To remedy split ends, I'm loving her 100% Pure Argan Oil ($48) that is organically grown in Morrocco.
2. Pangea Organics: I'm obsessed with all things Pangea Organics. Not only has the brand's arsenal of skincare savers made a major impact on my complexion, but they stay true to their formula mantra: "Always beneficial, never artificial." All of their products are free of harmful ingredients like petrochemicals, paraben, and GMOs and are sourced using fair trade practices whenever possible. Their Facial Cleanser for Oily to Combination Skin ($28) is sublime.
We found Casey when she tweeted that she'd received her Birchbox at the United States army base in Germany where she lives! We thought that was pretty cool, so we had to learn more about this American living abroad.

Who doesn't love toast? We sure do, and as much enthusiasm as we have for the delicious complex carbohydrate, we love the blog A Piece of Toast even more. The masterminds behind the beauty amalgamation of covet-worthy products, style inspiration, and yes, yummy food, are sisters Sally Ann and Molly Bernadette. This week, the Molly is graciously bringing her flair to our blog, dishing on everything from the best hair masks to perfect holiday gifts.
I'm always trying to make my hair (especially my ends) healthier and I think I finally found a conditioner that helps me do that! Who knew that Moroccan Oil makes luxurious hair masks? I had no clue and in my opinion, this stuff is way better than the company's famed Oil Treatment.
Certainly not all style blogs are worth reading, but we're absolutely smitten with Sonia Evers' Runway Hippie and we think it should be on your radar. Aside from her daily dose of inspiration, great finds, or personal pics, Evers also finds time to contribute to Refinery29.com, Modelina.com, and Glamour.com. Check back here all week as she muses on all things summer fun, from self-tanner to beachy waves.
By the end of the summer my hair feels more like straw than actual strands of hair. Thanks to the humidity, the sun, the chlorine, and other dehydrators, my hair becomes dry, brittle and full of split ends thus making me the perfect candidate for horrendously frizzy hair. After having to cut off five inches of my long locks one summer due to excessive split ends (and the fact that the bottom half of my hair was dyed green from chlorine), I learned my lesson in proper summer hair care.
I use Moroccan Oil Hydrating Styling Cream everyday — no joke, this stuff changed my life. I also use Frederic Fekkai's Protein Reparative Treatment Mask once a week to lock in moisture and keep my hair strong and healthy. And if I've been extra naughty and spent a few too many hours basking in the sun, I coat the ends of hair in Aveda's After-Sun Hair Masque, which keeps them from fraying and breaking. A bit extreme? Yes. But the difference that these few techniques made in my hair last summer was priceless. My hairdresser even told me so.
For more great hair products, visit our Birchbox Shop.
This week, we have beauty writer extraordinaire Elizabeth Dehn (aka Beauty Bets) chiming in with her best hair tips. After giving her previously straight and silky hair to a Body Wave (ie perm), Dehn has been on an ongoing search for products to resurrect her now-fried tresses. Here's today's trick.
There's fine line between smooth hair and greasy hair, and I have crossed it many times with the wrong serums and pomades. MoroccanOil is almost impossible to mess up. Work in a few drops before you blow dry or use it to tame frizz and flyaways on styled hair. Either way, it's worth every penny.

This week, we're lucky enough to have the uber-talented Grace of Stripes and Sequins on board for a week of blogging fun. As one of our most loyal fans — she was one of Birchbox's beta members and has been with us ever since — we're thrilled to have her on the blog. She's a DIY whiz, savvy beauty and fashion blogger, and one of the nicest people we know. First up: Grace's Beauty Essentials.
Like any beauty product junkie, my must-have product list has a revolving door. I'm constantly on the hunt for new products, so I'm always switching it up. But these are some that I can't live without.
Right now, I'm all about hydration. Cetaphil Body Cream is an oldie but a goodie. It's the richest body cream I've found, and gentle enough to (gasp!) use on my face when it gets really dry. Sunday Riley Juno Facial Oil is also amazing. Although spreading oil on your face seems a bit counterintuitive, this one is lightweight and absorbs incredibly quickly. I put a thin layer just after washing my face, and my skin is instantly happy. I'm a little bit obsessive-compulsive about eye cream. I tried Face It's Smooth Eye-Operator a year ago and was instantly hooked. It zaps dark circles while hydrating intensely.
As far as beauty products go, for lips I've gone back to another favorite: Benetint. I apply a coat, do my eye makeup, and then apply clear gloss. The tint/gloss combination is just…juicy! To give my skin a glow, I use Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint. (Discovered this one via Birchbox and instantly became obsessed!) I use only the tiniest amount on my cheeks, temples, and brow bone – it instantly brightens winter skin. For eyes, I'm addicted to Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara. This stuff proves that drugstore mascara works just as well as the expensive stuff. It lengthens and separates like no other.
I have thick, wavy hair and I swear by Moroccan Oil. I cringe a little bit writing it, as the stuff has gotten so much buzz. But it works, plain and simple. Once my hair dries, I use Garnier Glossing Spray (another blogger introduced me to this and it's amazing – works just as well as Fekkai) to de-frizz and sleekify.
Check back tomorrow for more of Grace's beauty and style intel. In the meantime, get inspired to try new products in our Shop!

Missed a payment after a natural disaster? Your credit score may forgive you
The storms keep coming. On May 31, the widest tornado ever recorded in the U.S. ripped through El Reno, Okla., less than two weeks after another EF5 twister pummeled nearby Moore.
Tornado season is well underway, while Hurricane season is just ramping up. As I write, the first storm of the season -- Tropical Storm Andrea -- is approaching shore in the Southeast. Wildfires are burning in Southern California and New Mexico. Disastrous flooding is menacing towns in Missouri, Iowa and Illinois.
The past several years have been packed with high-profile weather events -- ranging from last fall's Hurricane Sandy, which flooded much of the Mid-Atlantic, including New York City, to the massive wildfires that tore through my home state of Texas on Labor Day weekend 2011.
The one silver lining in all this awful luck is that severe weather is now close to the forefront of everyone's minds, which I hope means more people will be prepared the next time a natural disaster strikes within close range.
Lenders and credit reporting agencies are taking note of natural disasters' increasing frequency as well and are now taking special precautions to protect people who missed loan payments because they were forced out of their homes by severe weather.
According to a blog post published by Experian's Maxine Sweet last week, the credit reporting industry responded to the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma by sending reminders to more than 8,000 lenders and data furnishers to flag customers' files with a disaster code if the customers lived in an area that was hit.
That way, people who are still recovering from the storms won't be penalized in their credit scores for paying late.
The disaster codes are paired with all payments sent (or neglected) during a specified period -- including on-time payments -- and may prevent the payment history from being factored into a credit score. (Depending on the specific score, a disaster code may temporarily bar positive repayments from being used as well. However, they'll eventually be added in, says Sweet.)
Among the most commonly used credit scores, VantageScore specifically weeds out negative payments that occurred during a natural disaster -- as long as a payment's been coded as such by a lender -- but includes on-time payments made during that time.
FICO, on the other hand, simply says that it won't penalize you if a lender marks your account as in forbearance due to a natural disaster. However, the onus is on you to work with the lender to temporarily forgive your late payment, according to FICO's Frequently Asked Questions page.
Regardless of which score matters to you, it may be a good idea to contact your lender anyway (when you can) if you've been hit by a natural disaster to make sure it is on the same page. After all, as Sweet wrote on her blog, "dealing with any natural disaster can be overwhelming -- from a physical, emotional and financial standpoint."
The last thing you need is to be penalized for another seven years for living in an area that was hit by a freak event.

The house I live at now different house from story I told before. Every morning there is a family of 6 that pass bye the perimeter between my house and nahbors behind me.there is a lot of house by me now and it is not good to have that many so often they traval the same loop. The ticks are insane! My cat got out anf came back loaded with them took me 2 hours to get the deer ticks off! Ggggrrrr!
Just put up the sign maybe you can get one for mosquitos too.
You're a smart man.
Wow I can't believe it would be that simple?!?... lol
I wish it was. Well I have no sign of the angry deer that's attacked the dogs, but I am keeping an eye out for it.
The mosquitos chased them away.
Act like you are hunting the deer - and they will probably be scarce. Hide behind corners as if you were going to spring out or shoot them. In the country, no deer would dare be so bold, and if they are that bold, the get invited for dinner, as the dinner.
Among hunters, it is said that deer will be a lot more scared of someone quietly sneaking around the woods than a noisy group of hikers. It is even recommended to talk and walk loudly with a friend when scouting out new hunting areas rather than sneaking about.

Signature drink recommendations for wedding cocktail hour and reception
- r
- redsintoronto Mar 21, 2009 07:09 PM
Any suggestions?
re: jorestes
I had mojitos passed around by servers at my wedding. Def. a nice change of pace, and something most people like but dont usually order.
We did something that fit our theme and was meaningful to us. We served Sidecars at the cocktail hour, as the wedding had a formal, 20s flavor, and it was a drink I'd introduced my honey to early in our dating days that she had come to love. The wines we served at the cocktail hour and at dinner all had some special significance to us from our travels together or as beloved wines that suited the food (and met our budget).
One reason that cocktail worked is that it also suited our guests, many of whom are classic-cocktail aficionados. I'm not sure I'd serve a strong drink like that at every party: it might be useful to consider something a) more accessible, and b) not so strong, like a highhball or long drink or punch.
If I were to do it over, I'd be braver than I was then about creating an original concoction with a story behind it (as I now regularly do for friends celebrating big events), including recipe cards with the cocktail's backstory at the bar and/or tables. The design and testing process is fun, and if you come up with something really delicious, you've created an anniversary tradition. (You might even see it served elsewhere later, which is gratifying, too.)
Similar to what JB said, it really makes sense to pick something with some significance to you personally. We had Basil Lime Gimlets and Kir Royale as our signature drinks, but that could mean (possibly) nothing to you. But feel free to use 'em if you like 'em!
I've seen (as the bartender) signature cocktails go over like lead balloons at wedding receptions and other events. If you are going to do this, tray passing is necessary to ensure that guests at least try the drink you've chosen.
Aside from MC Slim JB, do any of you others know how well your cocktails moved during your receptions?
My brother-in-law started a family tradition at weddings and other gatherings of making "duck farts". You chill the Crown Royal, Bailey's Irish Creme, and Kahlua. In a straight-sided narrow glass, pour the Crown, then the Bailey's and lastly the Kahlua. This makes a pretty layered drink that is delicious! Be sure to swirl it before drinking, though.
re: PDeveaux
Our wedding was outdoors, in August....lobster/clam bake at Odiorne....so we wanted something to instantly quench and refresh. Right around our engagement, we went to 29 Newbury for a drink and the bartender offered us a "Vanessa Palmer" (she's Vanessa). It's an Arnold Palmer (1/2 unsweetened iced tea, 1/2 lemonade) with blueberry vodka in it. Surprisingly juniper-y and SO unbelievable. We drank them continuously the next summer...and it became "our summer drink." For the wedding, we ordered mason jar mugs (with handles)...the bar mixed up the Arnold Palmers ahead of time, and those that preferred the Vanessa had some blueberry vodka swirled in for them. Kept the drinkers and non-drinkers refreshed and cool.
At our garden wedding, we served a white wine sangria that had a special story behind it. We had a little card with the story printed up and framed on the bar. I guess everyone loved it - it was completely gone by the time I had a chance to get to the bar! It was in addition to the full, open bar. As a former bartender, I'll just point out (as you probably already know), having an open bar in addition to the signature drink is most preferable to the guests.

Life & Style magazine has the latest news about Utahn Jef Holm and bride-to0be Emily Maynard of "The Bachelorette":
Get the tiny bags of rice ready! Engaged Bachelorette couple Emily Maynard, 26, and Jef Holm, 28, exclusively reveal to Life & Style their plans for a spring wedding!
"We're thinking early spring 2013," Jef shares in the new issue of Life & Style, on stands now. "We haven't locked anything down yet, but we just know that's the time frame we want to do it."
Naturally, the bride-to-be is already busy planning the big day, which includes running dress options by her laid-back fiancé. "It's been so easy," Emily tells Life & Style. "I'll show Jef the ugliest thing in the world, and he'll be like, 'Whatever you want, I want.'"
And that's a good thing, because Emily's been looking at wedding magazines since she was 13 years old. "I have an idea of what the whole thing is going to look like," she tells Life & Style about the upcoming nuptials. "I'm just glad I found the guy. The rest will come."

Alysia Montaño Wins 800m At USA Outdoor Track And Field Championships
Days after College of the Canyons athlete Tim White won the triple jump event at the U.S. Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships, another Santa Clarita native made headlines in Track and Field.
Alysia Montaño won the Women's 800 Meter race on Sunday at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. She became the first woman to win four straight 800 meter titles at this event.
The former Canyon High School graduate ran a blistering time of 1:58:67, edging out her closest competition by 11 milliseconds.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The next major track and field event is the IAAF world championships which take place in Moscow in August, and Montaño will likely be in attendance.
However, she has focused most of her energy on the 2016 Olympic Games which take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Montaño did not receive any medals during the 2012 London Games, so she certainly hopes to improve her performance. She chooses to not stress about winning a medal, but realizes it is an important goal to strive for.
The former Santa Clarita Valley Athlete of the Year distinguishes herself from other runners by wearing a flower in her hair during races. She typically trains with male athletes, so she uses the flower as a sign of pride in her femininity.
She has become a well-known runner not only because of the flower she wears, but for her outgoing personality as well. Her free spirit and contagious laugh make her a popular competitor on the world scene with both athletes and fans.
Do you have a news tip? Call us at (661) 298-1220, or drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Despite her extremely upbeat personality, she is known as a fierce competitor with unparalleled determination. This is evidenced by her success in the 800 meters, known as one of the most difficult races since it is considered to be a long sprint.
The former Berkeley student holds several Pac-10 and regional meet records in the 800 meters, 4x400 relay, and sprint medley. In her professional career, Montaño holds the fifth-fastest American time ever in the 800-meter race with a time of 1:57:34.
At the conclusion of her track and field career, Montaño hopes to open a personal fitness studio for working mothers, fathers, or entire families. Her main goal is to educate the parents of a family, so that they can spread their knowledge to children and create a healthier future generation.

Doctor Who Figurine Collection's Ben Robinson
Eaglemoss recently released a rather snazzy new partwork, the Doctor Who Figurine Collection which, over a reported 80 or so issues will build up into an incredibly vast and wonderfully detailed collection of favourite characters from the TV series.
Here Managing Editor at Eaglemoss Ben Robinson chats about this and other titles he's working on.
What exactly does your job at Eaglemoss entail?
I work across a large number of projects but I have a particular expertise in what are loosely described as 'genre' projects. At the moment that means Star Trek Starships, Doctor Who Figurines an upcoming Hobbit figurine collection and the Marvel Fact Files, which is a massive pull apart and file encyclopaedia. In the past I've worked on several different James Bond projects – a collection of 1:43 scale cars in movie dioramas, a DVD collection for Japan and a massive buildup DB5, which is the famous car from Goldfinger; Doctor Who and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trading card collections; the Star Trek Fact Files, which was another pull apart and file encyclopaedia; the official Star Trek magazine in the US; and countless DVD series including Midsomer Murders, Doctor Who and Stargate. I also oversee our Batmobile collection and DC and Marvel Chess series, though I am one remove away on those since my colleague Richard Jackson looks after them on a day-to-day basis.
[pullquote align=right]When I started to work in publishing 17 or 18 years ago I was working at DK on interactive CDs and at the time people were predicting that they would replace books and magazines. It hasn't happened yet and to be honest I can't see it happening any time soon.
People like to own things.[/pullquote]What do I actually do? There's a question. In the very briefest terms, I develop the projects and then supervise the teams that are producing them. In terms of the printed element that's about working out what kind of content we want to produce and how it should be structured. That can get right down to the detail of what size font we should be using for captions, but it's also about where to find material, making the best use of it, and sourcing artists. Once the formats are set, I then step back to reading those and making sure things stay on track. On the figurines and model ship projects I tend to stay more involved with the actual models, briefing sculptors and the factories and offering an ongoing stream of feedback.
Since almost all our projects are licensed, I spend a lot of time working with our licensors to make sure that everything we do is fully approved by them and negotiating with them for rights to new projects. All of this involves reporting back to my boss, our editorial director, Maggie Calmels, who sets the editorial direction for everything we do and makes sure that we do the best work we possibly can. She works on 10 times as many projects as I do, across a whole range of areas from women's interest to hi-tech models and I always know that she's there whenever we have to solve a problem or just another pair of eyes on things. And, of course, she's the first audience that sees any of our products. If she likes what we're doing then we know we're in with a good chance of making a successful product.
It's actually somewhat more involved than that, but I'm not sure anybody in their right mind would want to know the rest of it!
How did the Doctor Who Figurine collection come about?
We've been working on Doctor Who projects almost since the show came back. I remember going down to Cardiff while they were filming the second season and showing David Tennant his trading card when he was filming his third or fourth and long before he appeared on screen. We have had some kind of Doctor Who project running ever since. We always thought we'd do a variety of different projects as the show's new fanbase grew older. After eight years and two other partworks, it was time for a figurine collection. Of course, Eaglemoss has enormous experience with figurines – having produced Lord of the Rings, Marvel and DC collections. We really do have the best sculptors and the best factories so it made perfect sense to do the same for Doctor Who, which has such amazing monsters.
Who designed the figures?
The glib answer is the BBC. All the figurines are based on some pretty exhaustive photography and some very intense scrutiny of the episodes. "All" we have to do is specify a pose. That's done by me and the project's editor, Neil Corry, who knows more about Doctor Who than most know about themselves. Of course, specifying a pose isn't actually that easy. You need a strong sense of what will work well – not every pose looks good when it's replicated as a figurine – and to come up with a pose, and a moment, that sums up the character. When you get it absolutely right you should have a little intake of breath when you see the physical figurine. We've got some coming up that really did that for me. In particular the Silent and our first character from the classic episodes, Omega. We use a variety of sculptors, depending on what the figurine is. They all have their own strengths, whether that's an ability to capture a likeness or an intuitive understanding of the series.
I've got to say how amazing our Dalek sculptor Gavin Rymill is. We contacted him because he had already built every Dalek that ever there was as a 3D model. Because of the way we work, we can take those files, run them through a 3D printer and turn them into physical objects. When you look at those figurines, you can just tell that they were produced by someone who loves Daleks. The detail is unbelievably good and no one could put that much effort into something if they were doing it on a purely commercial basis, there's a love there, as well as a level of skill that takes them to another level. I have just been stunned by how good his work is. Of course, the same is true of a lot of people who work on Doctor Who, but Gav has been a real find.
Are there any Doctor Who characters you couldn't get the rights to produce for this range?
The only things we aren't allowed to do are characters from the two Peter Cushing movies that were made in the sixties and that's because the BBC don't have the rights. Because we are starting out with a plan of doing 75 figurines there are characters we've had to decide to leave out. For example, there is something like 40 companions. It was hard, but we took the decision to leave them out in favour of more monsters.
What changes have been from the trial version to the current run?
There are very subtle changes to Davros and the Cyber Controller. Tiny things like the colour of some of the controls on Davros's chair and the Cyber Controller's eyes. The only figurine to get a major rework was the Eleventh Doctor. We just felt that the test version wasn't the best we could produce and there was a technical problem that meant the figurine was coming out too thin.
How do you bring together a team of writers for the accompanying magazines?
That's down to the editor Neil Corry. I've had the pleasure of working with him for five or six years now and I literally have never met someone who has a greater passion for and more comprehensive knowledge of Doctor Who, although he insists there are lots. The good thing is he knows most of them and knows exactly who to go to on any given subject.
In this digital age, is there still a market for partworks?
I hope so! When I started to work in publishing 17 or 18 years ago I was working at DK on interactive CDs and at the time people were predicting that they would replace books and magazines. It hasn't happened yet and to be honest I can't see it happening any time soon. People like to own things. There are amazing statistics about how many people still buy physical CDs or DVDs. There's something about the physical pleasure of ownership that will never go away. What matters is that you produce something good. Something people have to have. That's a challenge.
Have any partworks you've released not done as well as you'd expected them to and which ones are your best sellers?
You never know what's going to work. After the fact, you can always come out with a reason why things didn't work, but you just don't know. Having said, at this exact moment I can't think of any really unexpected failures. There are things I would have loved to have gone because I would have loved to have worked on them – the last DVD project I developed was a "grown up science fiction" collection, that started with Alien and The Terminator. Getting the behind scenes material together for those was great. There are few things that make me happier than tracking down hard to find material and interviewing moviemakers. In terms of best sellers – the original Star Trek project I worked on, the Fact Files, is one of the most successful partworks ever. We sold a lot of copies of that!
Which country buys the most partworks that you produce?
There's no simple answer to that one. A Doctor Who partwork will sell a lot better in the UK than it will anywhere else, but a Russian project might sell 10 times as many copies. We publish in something like 40 different countries. There's a big tradition of partworks in the Latin countries but their economies are suffering at the moment. We've sold incredibly large numbers in Russia and Japan, but we've also had hugely successful projects in the UK and Germany.
Can you hint as to what you're working on at the moment?
Only in a very roundabout way – partworks are a very competitive business. My team launched Star Trek Starships and Doctor Who Figurines in August. We've got a Hobbit figurine collection on the way. After that I think you'd have to imagine that there are more things we can do with Marvel and DC and James Bond and even more Star Trek and Doctor Who. And, of course, other parts of the company are doing amazing work with Disney and with Japanese brands and technology and things that only make sense in Russia…

I'm not into collecting toys and figurines, etc., but this interview was simply fascinating–it provides an excellent insight into the workings of the collectables industry and gives a wonderful sense of the passion and creativity of the people involved. It's nice to know that these items many people are shelling out their cash to acquire aren't slapped together by some faceless corporation but are made by true fans who care deeply about the quality of what they're making. Thanks for the article!
What I saw in that video stands as an example that incredibly accurate likenesses (The David Tennant figurine was amazing!) can be produced in a quite small scale. I've collected both Buffy and Angel figurines from Eaglemoss, and that has proven to be true with those the majority of the time too. A stark contrast from the "on the cheap" approach that Character Options is taking with that hugely underwhelming 3.75 scale Series 7 Doctor Who line they're peddling. That is the school of "make them cheap, sell (hopefully, on their part) a lot of them cheap" on display there. All the wonderful likeness, articulation and detail CO was known for gets lost in the process. The goal to reach a more "play friendly" buyer base is fine, but there should be both 3.75″ scale and 5″ scale lines, not the abandoning of the 5″ scale for all newer figures altogether. Ironic, that CO takes the cheap sell out path in the year of the show's 50th Anniversary. At least we still have some proper Classics coming before they "slow" that line down next year. You would think that they were intentionally trying to take themselves out of the competition by so seriously compromising their product. Disappointing way for them to finish.
I got mine in the post last week. The paint work on the figurine was pretty shoddy.
Quite sadly I ended up taking the time to repaint the braces on the Matt Smith figure as on the model I got they just stopped halfway up.
I've seen some figures in the shops with the paint all over the place and I think I got off lightly.
I also bought the Star Trek star ships first issue as well and the Enterprise model was painted perfectly.
It may be that ships are more straightforward to paint.
Based on the quality of the first issue, i won't be collecting the part work. The sculpt of Matt Smith looked nothing like him, the paint was haphazardly applied at best. For the price they are charging, i shouldn't have to break out the acrylics to fix their mistakes.
As a special, I would like a Gallifrey "snow" Dome.

"A Kurt Bestor Christmas" celebrates its 25th season this year, and Bestor will be at Abravanel Hall, Dec. 13 through 15.
One of the special guest performers joining Bestor will be Grammy-nominated violinist Jenny Oaks Baker.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Another guest artist who will join Bestor and Baker will be announced next month.
It's rare to find a musician that is incredibly artistic, impeccably prepared, naturally beautiful and actually pleasant to work with. Jenny is all of these things. I never tire of hearing my musical arrangements played by her because they always exceed my already high expectations," said Bestor in a press release. "Onstage, Jenny is always captivating and delivers knockout performances each and every night. There is no one I'd rather have help me celebrate my 25 years of Christmas concerts than Jenny. And since my shows are 'Made in Utah,' it seemed only right that a fellow Utahn, who has made it big, should come back and play for the home crowd."
Baker's latest CD is "Noel: Carols of Christmas Past."
Tickets for "A Kurt Bestor Christmas" are now on sale online at www.arttix.org, by calling (801)355-ARTS or at ArtTix Outlets. Show times are Thursday, Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, Dec. 14 at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2 and 8 p.m.

3 dimensional torque from angular velocity
View Single Post
Jan23-13, 11:43 PM
I will be a bit more descriptive to flush out my questions better. I have two "rods" in three space. One rod is fixed, while the other is not. I need to apply a torque to the unfixed rod to make it become parallel to the fixed rod.
Okay, I am able to get the rotation matrix from each of the "rods", is there any way to "subtract" them to get the matrix rotation that separates them, because then I could use what you said. Also how would I go about calculating the eigenvalue of a rotation matrix. (I am not used to rotation matrices which is why I was using angular velocity above. After making this reply I will be looking up eigenvalue on google in case you don't want to go into that)

Emerin is the protein of the inner nuclear membrane that is affected by mutation in X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. The autosomal dominant form of the disease is caused by mutations in the lamin A/C gene. Several lines of circumstantial evidence have suggested an interaction of emerin with lamins in the nuclear lamina but direct interaction between the two proteins has not yet been demonstrated. We now demonstrate direct interaction between recombinant emerin and lamin A molecules using biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA) and monoclonal antibodies. An emerin-lamin A interaction system may be related in function to the LAP2-lamin B system at the inner nuclear rim.
