boxblocked replied to your photo: When did someone smack the hot right off of Dennis…
I think so much of Dennis Quaid is his smile… and that's certainly not what I'd call whatever's going on with his face in this photo. Bro Diddley's hair is major what the fuck of course.
Maybe it was early. Maybe he hadn't had his java yet.
This of course refers to Dennis, as there is no earthly explanation for Bro-dley/Bro Diddley's hair situation.
And the endgame is what?
If one more person sends me the picture of the mutilated cat (seriously, NSFL) in Arkansas or I see it come through on my dash again, I'm going to lose my shit. You're trying to make a point. I get it, but probably not in the way you intend. I don't give a shit that a Conservative fuckwit murdered a Democratic organizer's cat and carved the word "Liberal" into its side. It matters not to me, this damaged, perverse person's political affiliation, although these posts are obviously geared to pluck my progressive nerve. What matters to me is the killing of a defenseless animal.
In the same way I would never shove a viewing of Earthlings down a non-vegan's throat (hell, as an ethical vegan I can't even watch it and I've tried three times over the years), you've not achieved your goal of firing me up by posting this shit. You've merely succeeded in ruining my day.

Courtney Love and Dave Grohl Make Up After Long Feud
Courtney Love and Dave Grohl put aside their long-standing differences over Nirvana's legacy at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night.
Courtney Love and Dave Grohl put aside their long-standing differences over Nirvana's legacy at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night.
Joan Jett joined the surviving members of Nirvana in an explosive live performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Lindsey Buckingham will join Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age and Nine Inch Nails during the Grammys finale on Jan. 26. But nobody's sure what this very loud, and totally awesome, lineup will perform together.
If you've ever wondered what Nirvana's first record contract looked like, all you need to do is go online. The group's first label, Sub Pop Records, has posted the original contract that they presented to the band back in 1989 on their Tumblr blog.
Next month, Nirvana fans will be able to get their hands on the 20th anniversary reissues of the group's third and final studio album, In Utero.
Fans who attended the Anaheim, Calif. date of the Rolling Stones' '50 & Counting' Tour' got a little bit more than they bargained for Saturday night (May 18). Former Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl came out mid-set at the Honda Center to join the legendary rockers for a searing rendition of 'Bitch.'
Rush were the runaway stars at the 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony last night. And one of the show's highlights found the trio onstage with two members of the Foo Fighters, who performed the final minute of '2112''s classic 'Overture' with the newly inducted band. Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins even dressed in vintage Rush outfits -- Grohl as Alex Lifeson and Hawkins as Neil Peart -- complete with wigs.
As we've been reading about the concerts by the Sound City Players, the supergroup assembled by Dave Grohl to help promote 'Sound City,' his movie about the Los Angeles studio, we've become intrigued by a new song he co-wrote with Stevie Nicks, 'You Can't Fix This.' Last night, the two performed the song on CBS' 'The Late Show with David Letterman.'
Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvana fame assembled an all-star cast of musicians for his new documentary 'Sound City,' and for the lucky fans in select cities, he has been taking the show on the road with him. Following performances in Park City, Utah, and Los Angeles, the Sound City Players hit New York City for a one-night stand last night (Feb. 13) at Hammerstein Ballroom.
Paul McCartney did us proud last night as he (with a little help from his friends) closed the Grammys with a finale that won't be forgotten any time soon! Performing parts of the famous 'Abbey Road' medley with Joe Walsh, Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl was a great upbeat way to end the night after the sad news of Whitney Houston's death on Saturday.
It seems like there is always one guy at every rock show who just doesn't play well with others. While the rest of the crowd is dancing and trying to have a good time, there will always be one guy kicking the air and throwing random hay-makers.
This is how fights tend to start and Dave Grohl doesn't tolerate this kind of behavior at his shows.

Meditation enters Mumbai classrooms
Students across [Mumbai] city schools will soon start their day by closing their eyes for 15 minutes and breathing deeply to keep stressful thoughts at bay. In an attempt to relieve the ever-increasing stress of students as well as the school authorities, the state education department has introduced compulsory meditation in all government-aided schools.
The Maharashtra State Council of Research and Technology (MSCERT) has introduced meditation sessions in the morning, for school teachers, headmistress and students between classes V to X. MSCERT director Shridhar Salunke says the council has initiated the move to help students relieve stress, boost self-confidence, improve grades and even cut down on bad behaviour.

Mumbai attacks survivors preach forgiveness
On the third anniversary of the start of the deadly attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai that left 165 people dead, the BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan reports on some of the survivors who are preaching forgiveness in a newly published book.
The Mumbai 25 – as they were known – were in Mumbai on 26 November 2008 as part of a meditation retreat.
Two members of the group were killed in the attacks, but the survivors hope that showing compassion will bring something good from a terrible tragedy.
It was a last-minute cancellation that led Linda Ragsdale to travel from the US to Mumbai in November 2008.

Adaptations of French drama dominated the Adelphi boards during the 1853-54 season under the management of Benjamin Webster. At least five of the season's twenty-five productions derived from plays recently presented on the Paris stage. And while critics occasionally denounced this reliance on foreign sources, the reviewer for the Athenaeum proclaimed, "This theatre, by the production of such carefully written pieces, is gaining a higher position than belonged to it no long time ago, and is already entitled to rank as a legitimate dramatic house" (March 25, 1854).
Benjamin Webster's The Thirst for Gold; or, The Lost Ship and The Wild Flower of Mexico topped the list of successful adaptations. Based upon La Priere des Naufrages by Dennery and Dugue, the play was, according to the Times, "perfect [in its] fitness to the London Adelphi company" (December 16, 1853). The complicated plot involved the passage to the New World of several Europeans seeking their fortunes in gold, providing numerous melodramatic incidents and characters for the Adelphi company to enact. The Times reported that "the division into five tableaux, the incidents drawn to the minutest detail, the circumstances of the play, the very arrangements of the scenes, are accurately imitated from the Ambigu Comique, so that the north side of the Strand completely becomes, for the nonce, the Boulevard du Temple." The Athenaeum's reviewer, writing on December 12, found the production less than satisfying, however, noting that the "dialogue shows ... marks of managerial hurry" and that the "translation ... [is] bald in the extreme." But, he commented wearily that "the Adelphi audience is proverbially indifferent" to such weaknesses and predicted that the show would be a success. Indeed, Adelphi audiences agreed with the Theatrical Journal's reporter who wrote that The Thirst for Gold "surpasses every other attraction that has gone before it" (December 14, 1853) and supported its presentation for ninety-two nights.
Another Webster adaptation from the French which received considerable praise and approbation from audiences and critics was The Discarded Son, based upon Un Fils de Famille by Mayrad and Bienville. However, the Times saw the play as "a sort of commonplace compound of Black-Eyed Susan and She Stoops to Conquer" which had "scarcely the character of a regular Adelphi piece," though he admitted it displayed "excellent situations, and happy management of the characters" (October 11, 1853). The Theatrical Journal singled out actors Leigh Murray, Mary Ann Keeley, and Fanny Maskell for particular praise, calling the production "one of the most interesting [dramas] which has appeared for a long time" (October 26, 1853). It ran for sixty nights.
Two less successful versions of French plays were penned by John Morton and an anonymous author. Morton's Whitebait at Greenwich received praise for the performance by comedian Robert Keeley but apparently lacked variety in plotting. The Athenaeum wrote that "Mr. Keeley ... was triumphant" (November 19, 1854) and the Times declared that "the engagement of Mr. Keeley has given a high tone to Adelphi farce than ever was known before" (November 15, 1854). Nevertheless, the show ran for only twenty-seven performances. Hopes and Fears, the anonymous adaptation of La Joie Fait Peur by Mme. Girardin, did not fare much better. During its twenty-two-performance run, critics praised Webster's performance as the old servant Noel saying, "This is a finished and forcible piece of acting, happily conceived and elaborately executed" yet noted that Celine Celeste's performance was less than satisfactory: "The Mother ... is played by Mme. Celeste in a manner that might be expected from a clever melodramatic actress, who has rather to do with strong outward exhibitions of emotion than with minute psychological details" (Times, July 6, 1854).
Charles Selby's English version of Les Filles de Marbre entitled The Marble Heart; or, The Sculptor's Dream received elaborate praise and commentary from the high-brow critic of the Athenaeum after it opened in May, 1854. Calling the play "a piece perilously elaborate in its development of sentiment and character, and ambitious in its aim as an Art-drama of the imaginative class," this commentator proclaimed it "a daring experiment" in which "the argument and treatment are both intellectual" (May 27, 1854). He also noted "the elevation of the character of [the Adelphi's] performances" under Benjamin Webster's management. The Times critic found some faults in Selby's adaptation from the French, but noted the strength of Leigh Murray's performance as the young sculptor who lost all in pursuit of the hard-hearted woman, played admirably by Celine Celeste (May 24, 1854). Despite the fine performances and his perception of the play's moral and intellectual elevation, the skeptical Athenaeum critic wondered whether "a piece in which dialogue so much preponderates will be ultimately popular with an Adelphi audience." Indeed, his skepticism was well-founded; The Marble Heart played only twenty times during the season.
Despite the large percentage of adaptations from French successes,
the Adelphi also scored moderate hits with some home-grown
products. Charles Selby's Hotel Charges exploited the
contemporary issue of tavern extortion which had received
extensive coverage in the Times. The Athenaeum called
the topic "worn-out" (October 22, 1853), but the Times
critic declared the piece "one dramatic oration to our honour"
(October 14, 1854). Another original piece, a genuine "Adelphi
drama" according to the Times, resulted from the collaboration
of Tom Taylor and Charles Reade. Two Loves and a Life
opened on March 20 and ran for fifty nights. The Times
noted wryly that it had "the strange peculiarity that it
is not taken from the French" and that its plot was "built
on an interesting story, with many and various incidents,
and with important personages enough to employ a large number
of good actors" (March 21, 1854). The Athenaeum critic
concurred in his appraisal of the play saying, "the dialogue
and interest aim at an intellectual elevation, and appeal
rather to the understanding than to the feelings" (March
23, 1854). This mid-decade production of Two Loves and
a Life, starring favorite actors Benjamin Webster, Robert
Keeley, Sarah Woolgar, and Celine Celeste, elicited the Athenaeum's
declaration that the Adelphi had arrived at the ranks of
London's legitimate dramatic houses.

"Unlimited Power!!!"
So the European central bank has taken a bold step by committing to an open ended bond purchasing program, in hopes to combat high borrowing costs for certain European countries. That's an unlimited amount of money in the hole ready to be injected, everyone should take a moment to understand the magnitude of this commitment.
What does this mean for Europe going forward?
The ECB has ensured no European country will default on its debts and will be able to continue borrowing at artificially low rates. This should spur governments to take on more debt and find ways to reinvigorate and jump start their economies. But what does this all mean for now? Not a whole lot.
Aside from subsiding fears of a Euro zone collapse, this monetary action will do little for the current situation in which Europe finds itself. Countries like Greece, Portugal and Spain are in recession and are faced with high levels of unemployment that are not about to disappear over night.

Happy Belated Halloween! What a crazy week it's been on campus. It feels like some days last forever. My week was filled with tons of homework and tests to study for! The Paideia sections began reading Martin Luther this past week and every time I read anything Luther writes it goes completely over my head (which probably isn't good due to the paper I have due in a week). However, even though I don't understand a thing he is saying, I have been able to talk to my classmates and some of the tutors to better understand the readings. One nice thing that Luther offers is tutoring. A lot of my friends and I have signed up for tutors and they really do help. Even if you're doing fine in a class, many of my friends got a tutor just to maintain their grades and have support if the class becomes tough. Every one is willing to help in any way possible and it's really a nice feeling to know that you have a support system.
Halloween weekend was very fun, but also pretty busy for myself. On Friday, I hung out over in Olson (dorm across campus) and played video games. My friend and I managed to beat Ultimate Alliance 2, in one evening…can you tell we live awesome lives? On Saturday, most of my friends were participating in sporting events so I was able to cheer them on. The Men's and Women's Cross Country Team did awesome at the Conference race so congrats to them! Saturday evening (Halloween) was pretty intense. There are a lot of creative minds here at Luther…the costumes were hilarious and well planned out. My friends and I began our evening at the Zombie Prom where we danced and ate food for a bit. We then made our way out to a country club to a party sponsored by a fraternity. There was a costume contest and a dance. It was a lot of fun, and there were a ton of people there. My Sunday was spent in the library doing hours of homework and reading. With only 5 weeks left in the semester it's time to buckle down and keep the hard work up. It's no shave November, which means the guys on my floor are all growing their facial hair out. It will be interesting to see how that turns out. I, however, am not participating because I can't stand my facial hair, so I will be shaving every day ☺. I hope everyone had a great Halloween and I am counting down the days until some Turkey, Gravy, Potatoes and PUMPKIN PIE!
Have a great week!

Proofreader? Dunno. But I am one. Reading through the Warhol Foundation's Andy Warhol Biography, I found TWO grammatical errors.
"Operating out of a silver-painted, and foil-draped studio nicknamed The Factory, located at 231 East 47th Street, (his second studio space to hold that title), Warhol embraced work in film and video."
Whatchu doin' there, little comma? The comma after 'silver-painted' needs to go. Commas go in lists—which comprise three or more objects—or in a comma-conjunction structure, which this is not. All grammar rules (concerning the comma) are made to be broken, and in this case, there doesn't need to be a comma before the 'and,' because said 'and' links two descriptive terms, not two independent clauses.
"Despite a brief self-declared retirement from painting following an exhibition of Flowers in Paris, Warhol continued to make sculptures (including the well known screenprinted boxes with the logos of Brillo and Heinz Ketchup) prints, and films."
There needs to be a comma after the parenthetical. Parenthetical phrases by their very nature can be lifted out of the text, and the sentence needs to be grammatically correct without it. This sentence, without the parenthetical, reads, "…Warhol continued to make sculptures prints, and films." Yeah. Needs a comma.
Haha, so I did. XD Thanks muchly!
East 47th Street, (his second studio space to hold that title), You missed one, friendo!

Please help repair Saint Philomena's Shrine in Mugnano, Italy
|The Sanctuary in Mugnano del Cardinale was a monument to Our Lady, this is such a very special church because within it rests the sacred remains of our Dear Little Saint, Philomena. This house of God is asking for help from those who love Philomena. Major repair to the dome (which is situated in front of the high altar) is desperately needed. The cost is $70,000 and they have only the $10,000 with which thay have initiated the work. The Sanctuary is not a parish and does not have the income of a parish and without a congregation of parishioners to defend her: the Sanctuary is run on faith and the donations of those who want Saint Philomena's resting place to remain an eternal refuge for those who love her. Please visit the Official Archconfraternity of St. Philomena's website for more information and to make a donation to ensure the necessary repairs to our dear saint's resting place are completed.

When performing test-driven searches in proactive mode, Code Conjurer is able to suggest candidate reusable components based on partial tests without disturbing the developers normal work and before much of the component has been implemented. It complements Extreme Programming by promoting the reuse of component implementations alongside the traditional approach of building them from scratch. We have, therefore, referred to this approach as Extreme Harvesting in previous papers [3]. Extreme Harvesting extends the extreme programming mantra of "design a little, code a little, test a little" to include "design a little, harvest (i.e. reuse) a little, test a little" as a possible route to successful application development.
Using Code Conjurer it is not only a venue for locating normal reusable components based on tests defined by the developer, it also possible to search for pre-existing tests, as well. When a developer begins writing a test, Code Conjurer can look for previously indexed tests and offer these for reuse.
When Code Conjurer is able to find components that match a developer's tests, it effectively "conjures up" reusable code from "thin air". The user does not have to deviate from his normal development work until a component has been found that does what he is trying to build. Even when no components are found that pass a developer's tests Code Conjurer is able to provide valuable information. By analyzing the search results using various clustering techniques it can create a characteristic picture of the group that includes the typical set of methods. For example, when searching for a matrix component based on an interface with just a multiply method, Code Conjurer can indicate that components with this method typically also support 13 other methods as well, such as swapRows(), transpose() or findPivot(int).
By unobtrusively adding test-driven search capabilities to mainstream development platforms such as Eclipse, Code Conjurer is able to genuinely speed up software development projects, whatever methodology is used. However, agile projects that specialize on small-grained components and writing test cases upfront, stand to gain the most from the tool. Code Conjurer is one small step for test-driven development, one giant leap for agile projects.

The Shared Documents library is created for you when Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services creates a new site. You can customize the library for your purposes, or you can create additional libraries.
Note To create a library, you must have permission to manage lists on the site where you want to create the library.
Click View All Site Content, and then click Create on the All Site Content page.
Tip In most cases, you can use the Site Actions menu instead to complete this step.
Types of libraries
The type of library that you use depends on the kinds of files that you are sharing:
In the Name box, type a name for the library. The library name is required.
The name appears at the top of the library page, becomes part of the address for the library page, and appears in navigational elements that help users to find and open the library.
In the Description box, type a description of the purpose of the library. The description is optional.
The description appears at the top of the library page, underneath the name of the library. If you plan to enable the library to receive content by e-mail, you can add the e-mail address of the library to its description, so that people can easily find it.
You can later choose whether you want to store both major and minor versions and how many versions of each you want to track.
Tip After your library is created, you can further customize it by clicking Settings and then clicking settings for the library that you want to customize, such as Document Library Settings.

This a wonderful, charming, historical place to get the family together for a special get-a-way trip! My family and I stayed here in August 2012. The rooms are big, clean, and comfortable, well decorated with lots of room to socialize inside and out! The Inn Keepers are great, lovely people and they fix great goodies and snacks with a wonderful breakfast! I can't wait to go back!! :)

The folks who own the inn are extremly helpful and they really do aim to please their customers. We stayed on the top floor of the cottage and as it was the last of June and very hot - the air conditioner was having trouble keeping up and it stayed almost 80 degrees or above the entire time in the room. There was also an electrical issue where a breaker kept being thrown if we plugged in just 1 item. I hope they get these issues tended to because it is such a beautiful place to stay and they are really nice folks.

Very friendly service and GREAT breakfasts! Mr. Smart even went with us to a local eaterie on the Kentucky River the last night of our stay. It was a very enjoyable stay and was made so by our host at this B 'n' B.

Would definitely stay again. The room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Enjoyed having my own bathroom with massage chair and garden tub. Wi-fi service was quick and dependable. The breakfast was delicious and began with a wonderful creamy oatmeal strawberry parfait and homemade banana bread. The B & B is located within easy walking distance to downtown shops and library.

The Bennett house provides a pleasant stay with a lot of Victorian style and charm. Rooms are quite large providing for comfort during multiple night stays. Some of the bed and bathroom aspects are dated but adequate for a B&B. Breakfasts are quite tasty and filling. Location within Richmond is nice and provides a location where you can walk into town for meals and some exercise. General location near Berea, KY Wineries (Jean Ferris is top notch) and the KY Bourbon Trail make this a good choice, and one we will use again. Richard was great to work with and a fun and willing participant at Breakfast.

Picked a winner for our first experience. The home was fabulous, the attention to detail excellent, and the innkeeper and his wife are personable and so helpful. Stay here and you won't be disappointed. John and Marsha Fancy Gap, Va.

Could you see my eyes if I were wearing these shades with the iridium lenses? polarized? It seems like they are more clear than the other lenses that aren't polarized. I like to have my eyes hidden when I wear shades.

Is competition good for trust? Cross-country evidence using micro-data
AbstractThis paper empirically analyzes implications of market competition for generalized trust of about 80,000 individuals in about 60 countries. We find that competition amplifies the trust-generating effect of market integration for highly integrated individuals.

Wedding: 3/22/2013
Since I am British, I had no clue where, who and how to organise my Florida wedding.
I had no one to help me with my wedding which was organised in just under two months.
Arthur Sands at B Ocean Fort Lauderdale where I got married, recommended that I speak with Joni Scalzo,he had said some great things about her and I gave her a call. Wow was he right about her.
People say that soul mates are made in Heaven ! Well we know that much is true...
But have you ever had a Wedding planner that was too ?
Joni Scalzo, my wedding planner who was my heavenly angel and my saving grace. She was available to me at such short notice and agreed to work to the tight time constraints. Oh my gosh she was created to serve us ladies to make our dreams and desires come true on our Special day.
Special is what Joni makes you feel as if you are her one and only Bride! She has the patience of a saint and she attended to my every single whim with a smile on her face and a huge hug down the phone.
Joni did every single thing for me, even came to pick me up from the airport, after my horrendous trip to NYC. The moment I met her I forgot about my horrible trip. Her kindness and laughter is contagious, she is so lovable.
She has so much positive energy, her warmth and smile just win you over and your stress is eliminated. She is so trustworthy and reliable to her name and her professionalism is second to none.
Joni attended every meeting with me and guided me and gave me recommendations for various wedding vendors, even down to a seamstress and Henna tattoo artist, to name just a few. She knows her stuff and I have to say they were all fantastic and reliable.
She gave me inspiration and ideas and attended every single detail.
From organising my Bridesmaids and wedding party rehearsals, photographer, transport, nannies, face make up painters, photographers,photobooths,wrapping both of our father's presents. Keeping us on schedule on our wedding day. Oh my gosh everything even wiping wedding cake off my face after my wedding cake fight with my husband lol !
Our friends and family commented on how impressed they were that we pulled off such a great wedding in the time that we had and that it was "The Best Wedding" that they had ever attended !!
They teased that Joni must be my best Friend. We all dream about our Wedding, so yes she was our dream wedding planner. Joni took on the role as not just my wedding planner but best friend, mother, sister, agony aunt... She did it with love and patience.
I did not have to worry about a single thing on my Wedding day as I knew Joni was there taking care of everything. She even made sure that we ate on our wedding. She is so caring and attentive.
She gave my husband & I a Wedding come true, our wedding day was so much fun and we will never forget it and we will cherish it in our hearts for decades to come.
We have Joni to Thank for our one and only true love Wedding.
My Special day by Joni Scalzo. We would be crazy not to recommend her !!
Wedding: 9/19/2013
We contacted Joni a year before our wedding. Being that one of us was from Florida, and the other from Canada, we decided on the US for our special day. Joni was nothing short of enthusiastic and full steam ahead despite the distance planning. She was literally available 24/7 and could be contacted anywhere. If she was working a wedding, she would still respond that she was currently busy with an event, and would contact us back right after. Even when she was leaving on her own vacation, she called us to leave an emergency contact in case of any wedding planning meltdowns ;). Joni always rearranged her schedule to accommodate us and the vendors on each subsequent planning trip to Florida. She understands the unique and sometimes difficult family relationships that exist when bringing two completely different groups of people together. Despite these family challenges, Joni can help design a wedding party that suits everyone's individual needs. There really isn't anything Joni won't do for her clients. When it comes to budget, she'll find what works and create perfection. Our experience with Joni was truly amazing. She EVEN had vendors to her home and supplied all of the food and wine for a day full of decor, table settings, hair, and make up trials. Who does that??? Joni of course!! She treats her clients like family and you feel nothing but love from the time you start working with her till the long term friendship that's created as a result. When the wedding was over, and we left for our honeymoon, I think we missed Joni the most! We highly recommend her as a wedding planner, confidant, business professional, and friend. She will turn your dreams into reality and make your special day one to remember. We love and miss you Joni!!
Xoxo Kelly and Adam
Wedding: 5/4/2013
Joni is the most caring, genuine and loving person I have ever met. She does everything in her power to make her brides happy and will bend over backwards for them. She referred me to some phenomenal vendors which ended up making my wedding the most beautiful wedding that anyone has ever been to! I have become amazing friends with Joni and will continue to use her throughout life's celebrations.
PS- I knew she was "the one" when I e-mailed her at 11pm inquiring about her services and she emailed me back IMMEDIATELY! Joni always has her phone on her which allows her to respond to you as soon as possible!
Wedding: 12/6/2014
WOW – the first word that comes to mind on how great it was to work with Joni. Melanie & Blake's wedding was perfect! There wasn't one flaw, everyone had a great time and commented on how this was the best wedding they ever attended.
Since I (Mother of the Bride) am a professional event planner and Melanie (Bride) is a movie producer, everyone told us we didn't need a wedding planner. Were they ever wrong!
Joni was the best investment in the entire wedding budget! Trying to coordinate a Ft. Lauderdale wedding with the Bride living in LA was a struggle at best. Joni was always there for both Mom & Bride. Joni was available, had amazing suggestions, and worked well with both families. She was attentive to every detail; kept us calm, focused and I felt we didn't need to worry about anything.
As an event planner, I am always stressed leading up to & though the event. This was the first event I helped plan that I was relaxed for days before, had time on my hands and was able to enjoy every aspect of my daughter's events and the wedding day itself.
Joni's professionalism is by far the best of any of the event planners I have worked with. She listens, offers suggestions and gives extraordinary advice. Joni has an intuitive sense on how to bring an event to the next level while respecting your budget. Joni was generous with her time and talents and her expertise is unmatched.
We feel like Joni became part of the family through our experience and I can't thank her enough for really making our day EXTRA special!!!
Dear Joni and the Your Special Day by Joni team,
Thank you for making Rachel and Seth's wedding so extra special.
Joni, when we first met we had an instant connection and that special relationship continued throughout the planning of the wedding.
On behalf of Rachel and Seth and our entire family, I want to thank you for all that you did to make the wedding a beautiful, spectacular event.
You exceeded our expectations and we loved every moment and we loved working with you throughout the process.
To anyone planning a wedding, Joni Scalzo and her team are terrific and I highly recommend working with Joni to make your special day amazing!
Joni gets the job done!!
With the greatest repeat and love,
Judy Spiegel
I hired Joni as the "day of" wedding coordinator for my daughter's wedding and she was amazing! She stepped in about a month before the event and helped us through all of the final stages of planning. Joni was always available to speak to us whenever we needed her, and guided us through it all. My daugher loved working with Joni - felt like she really cared, and wanted her to be happy down to every last detail. On the acutal day of the wedding, Joni was on top of everythng, worked great with all of our vendors, yet stayed "behind the scenes" without anyone even realizing she was there. Joni's assistant, Lauren, was also wondeful, and was always there when we needed something. She was an added bonus:) My daughter and I were able to "let go" of control the day of the wedding, feel confident that every detail was being attended to by Joni and her staff, and truly enjoy the day!! I highly recommend "Your Special Day by Joni" to anyone planning a wedding !
Joni worked with my daughter and me during the weeks leading up to the wedding. Her guidance was invaluable in helping us to find the perfect vendors, staying on track with our details, and making sure we were covering all the details that needed to be covered. Joni was always available to answer questions or meet with one, or both of us. But the part of Joni's service that was most invaluable to me, was the day of the wedding, having her there to make sure everything went just perfectly. She worked all day getting all the little details in place behind the scenes so I could enjoy the wedding with family and friends. Joni is a real professional and a wonderful person! I recommend her with no hesitation at all. Hiring her for the wedding was my best decision.
From the moment we met Joni, we knew we had chosen the right person for our daughter's wedding. We hired Joni for a month of rather than day of wedding which turned out to be worth every penny. Joni coordinated everything for us and kept in touch with all our vendors. She is so detailed and creative. We felt at ease the day of the wedding not worrying about the vendors timing or calls. Joni took care of everything and if we needed anything she was easy to reach. The wedding turned out beautiful!!!!!
Thanks Joni for an outstanding job!
Wedding: 3/15/2014
Joni came through big time. We worked for months and months before the wedding and I am happy to say that I am satisfy with our everything turned out. Sure I wish that some things would have been different but who am I kidding, nothing is perfect in this world. All I need to say is that I am happy and Joni did a great job.
I came to Joni for my daughter's wedding in a frazzle, overwhelmed and not knowing what direction to go in. As soon as I spoke to her, I felt her warmth, caring, and joy in wanting to help me. She was available whenever I needed to talk to her, she helped me find the most artistic, knowledgeable, and compatible vendors for the wedding. She detailed the entire timeline to the exact moment. I don't know what I would have done without her. She was a guide, professional business person and friend to me during the whole occasion. The wedding was perfect! I recommend Joni to anyone and everyone who wants to have a cherished memory and smooth sailing to creating the most awesome experience! -Marta L., Parkland, FL

Joni helped me have a perfect day without having to worry about making it happen.
Wedding: 12/22/2013
Joni did an incredible job making sure everyone involved would be happy. She knew how to talk to vendors and express the feelings that I didn't feel as comfortable saying. I was out of the country for most of my wedding planning and having Joni help my mom was such a relief. She was extremely reliable and could translate wedding speech to everyday people. I can now proudly say I know what uplighting and chivary chairs are. She was phenomenal and took away any extra stress that you just don't want to deal with on your wedding day. Not only did she do a beautiful job with our wedding, but also our Henna celebration which was new to both of us since it is a tradition from my husband's side. She nailed it and my husband's family was so pleased with the way that we honored their family customs. Joni will treat you like her own daughter and never make you feel like you are asking for too much.

Short and sweet......hire Joni!! She was great! Always willing to go the extra mile. We had the grooms parents in one country, the bride and groom in another and the parents of the bride in another. She was always available and attentive to every detail for a 200 person rehearsal dinner, 250 person wedding --- working with so many vendors beforehand and day of.
Her calm manner was comforting to the mother of the bride.
Wedding: 1/12/2014
The stress of planning a wedding can be overwhelming. Both the bride and groom have their opinions and desires as well as the parents of each having to balance the emotions and trying to establish some financial constraints while still giving your children the wedding they want. Having hired Joni as our wedding planner was an exceptionally great move. First, Joni has a terrific personality and is so knowledgeable of all venues and service providers. Joni listens and then makes recommendations. She understands that all families are different and she cannot treat each wedding the same. Second, Joni did an incredible job of keeping everyone up to date of time constraints to get things done. This included ordering invitations, mailing, printing, final decisions on flowers, etc. None of us ever knew how time consuming all of this could be and by having Joni we not only saved a lot of time but also were able to allocate the time needed to get things done. Joni helped to make the wedding an occasion we will all remember. She acted as our intermediary with the hotel, Eau Resort. When friends and family comment on how everything went so well we pointed out how Joni played such a large part of coordinating every aspect of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Joni was there and made the day very easy. She coordinated the timing of pictures, when family needed to be ready for photos and the ceremony and just added support for everyone involved. I could go on endlessly but my final comment is that the wedding was magical and will always be remembered. Our families thank Joni for everything she did.
Wedding: 10/5/2013
Joni and I hit it off from our first meeting. She understood me and got what I wanted to achieve very quickly and she made me feel confident about her skills and her credibility. From beginning to end, Joni was always readily accessible to me and was willing and able to do whatever I asked. She was an absolute delight to deal with. Joni has patience, amazing follow-through and the necessary detail-orientation to get the job done.
Her creativity and unlimited resources made our wedding day so spectacular that all we have been hearing from our very "discriminating" friends is that our wedding was the BEST WEDDING EVER! Every step of the way from invitations to Thank you notes....Joni was on the job! The personal touches and suggestions took it from a gorgeous wedding to an unforgettable experience for all our guests as well as for US. We highly recommend her if you want a wedding to remember!

Everything about my wedding turned out perfectly and exactly the way I envisioned, mostly thanks to Joni! Planning a wedding in Florida from out of state, I was a little lost when I started thinking about things like renting tents and getting transportation services. Joni has such great vendor recommendations and personal relationships with all different kinds of vendors that the everything worked together seamlessly! I used all of the recommendations from her, including tent, florist, transportation, band, hair, make up, and photobooth and every single one of them exceeded my expectations.
I don't know how I would have planned our wedding without Joni's help, and not only that, she is hilarious and patient and so much fun to talk to and hang around with, that by the end of everything, I felt like she was family!!!
I highly recommend Joni as a wedding planner, you will not regret it!
Wedding: 10/19/2013
Hello to anyone considering Joni as a wedding planner. Our wedding I was told over and over again "was the best wedding" many of my high end out of town guests repeating kept saying they have ever been to. Both my now "wife" and I were just so impressed with the highest quality of service and patient attention to all details. Joni has gone way above and beyond what I could have asked someone to do. She definitely delivered the goods. I just cant say enough about the superb planning that went into our wedding. Joni is someone that understands the situation and meets its needs. I have heard so many nightmares from others whom are also planning a wedding and I just kept saying thank goodness for Joni. It was the single best wedding decision we made and we are sure that our wedding would not have been the same without Joni. We hit the jackpot, hands down! Thank you Thank you Thank you! We love you sooo much!
Wedding: 10/19/2013
Joni was my planner from the first week that I got engaged all the way through the 9 months of planning. She helped Rafael and I find our venue, vendors and calmed us down when we were stressed. She is so organized and always makes you feel like you are the most important client to her. Within hours or even minutes she will answer you emails or phone calls. She is there for you ever single step of the way. The best money we spent hands down was getting Joni as our wedding planner from start to finish. On your big day the last thing you want to do is worry about timelines or vendors doing their jobs. Joni takes care of all that and does it with a smile on her face the whole time. She is such a wonderful person. Even while she was on her vacation she wrote up some draft timelines. She never once forgot about us or our wedding. She is amazing. I will recommend her to everyone I know. Love you Joni!!!!
Wedding: 5/26/2013
One word describes our experience with Joni...PERFECT!
Joni was always there to answer all our questions, was always great to talk too...never felt rushed and all the vendors we worked with knew Joni and loved working with her.
So my advice to anyone looking for a fantastic planner...look no further!!
We love you Joni!!!

The minute I had my interview meeting with Joni I knew immediately we were a good match.Her cool and calm demeanor was comforting and very professional. I always felt she was more than available and my only regret was that I didn't hire her from the very beginning. That being said , once we did contract with one another she was totally and completely on board and really assisted me with all of my meeting s with the vendors I had hired. The other thing I realized throughout this process was the importance of having someone who works well with all of the vendors who will be handling the wedding. She was just amazing with everyone she came into contact with from the long distance bride and groom and their family to all of the many personalities that came into play on the actual day of the wedding. The vendors that I ended up contracting with after we began to work together were wonderful and of the highest quality. My daughters wedding was really a destination wedding since the majority of our guests were from out of town. Our weekend required a lot of coordination for not only transporting our guests but also the logistics of getting the bride and groom as well as the entire wedding party dressed and coiffed for pictures and video all of which she managed to pull off effortlessly . My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our children's wedding celebration and the best compliment you give some one is to say I would replicate everything again . Joni is the best.... Hands down

"iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy says she knows EXACTLY who leaked her racy selfies to the internet ... but the #1 suspect, NBA star Andre Drummond, tells TMZ Sports he's NOT the culprit.
The photos surfaced on several websites Monday ... and people immediately suspected the guy behind the leak was Drummond, since McCurdy humiliated him on a podcast over the weekend by spilling intimate details of their failed 1-week dating fling.
Moments ago, McCurdy even tweeted about the leak ... saying, "To anyone disappointed: I sent those pics to 1 person. You can connect the dots. Shocked someone would stoop so low. I just speak w/ candor."
We reached out to Drummond, who could not have been more adamant he's not to blame -- saying, "I did NOT leak any photos of JM."
The Detroit Pistons star -- who grabbed an incredible 26 rebounds last night -- adds, "I want nothing to do with her or the situation. I'm just worried about ball."
So the girls sends pics like this after "dating" a week? Sounds like a hook up, wam, bam, no thank you mam. It also sounds like she is trying to get attention. I don't even know who he is, but yeah, I say it is for the media attn and guess what, it is working.
Why did you send those pics to a guy you said there weren't any sparks with? Also, he's a perv for sharing those with anyone. Lesson: sexting usually ends badly.
If you don't pose for dirty pictures, no one will distribute them. Simple.
They "dated" for a week and this is what she was sending out? Girls are so stupid these days.
I'm guessing Ellen leaked them.
what the hell....she dated 1 week and was sending these pics to him
this is what im saying.. icant believe folks are going to believe her bullish. She put out the podcast and realize no one liked her and infact they think she's a bitch.
.her team figures they need to turn that around.. Leak a pic of her naked and act like he did it..now he's the douche* and she's the innocent angel
her image is turned from a cold hearted bitch to a poor girl victimized by this black dude.
smh ..she's just shameless. Its quite disgusting really
The sad part is , folks are really going to believe her too and start attacking dude.
I thought they did not get that far into the relationship..they only kissed...so how the hell??
Anyways that's not nice if him to do that...maybe she sent it to other men
If you've ever met Dre you'd know that he is not capable of something so petty. Dre was brought up to respect women, he was raised by a single mother! He is a class act! Now Miss McCurdy on the other hand seems like she's looking to catch a ride on Miley's Wrecking Ball...
If things did not get serious between the bith of them and she sent him tose pics then just maybe.......
KrapTRASHian 2.0.
im disappointing they werent naked pics
They called a guy on the pistons an NBA "star" lol. They called a supporting character from iCarly a "star" lol.
id be willing to bet she leaked them herself.if you look at her instagram pics and twitter pics.she is always taking tease photos for attention.

NEW FACE: RITA VIOLENTIY (Elite, NY)Just met Elite New York City new face Rita Violentiy, from Belarus. This is what her name looks like in her native language: Рита Виолентий. From her casting on West 25th street we E-trained it to Little West 12th street in the Meat Packing District where we shot. If I could chose one word to describe my experience with Rita it would be Focused. She works with efficiency, doesn't get distracted easily, and stays on target. Above are some shots from our encounter.Per usual, Rita answered a couple of questions
- altamira:If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?
- RITA:cat, as it is affectionaite and adapted to the world
- altamira:If not yourself, who would you be?
- RITA:Margaret Thatcher

The founding fathers got it right. We tolerate temporary monoplies a.k.a copyright for a reason. And it is due the the greed of the corporations in extending the term beyond 14 years that to the so obviously unreasonable 100 year terms that brought the system into disrepute.

copyright > 28yrs is THEFT
2003-07-10 12:48:48 anonymous2 [View]
I agree with you that this is a MAJOR issue, and that the change in copyright laws that changed copyrights from 28 years to life of author plus something pretty long was a major theft from the public...with no justification other than greed of publishers. Can we really imagine, for example, that Dr. Seuss in 1937 would not have published "To THink that I saw it on Mulberry Street" if he had thought that after 28 years it would enter the public domain? Or 56 years with renewal?
The present situation is that anything published after 1923 is subject to ridiculously long copyrights, and it would be good if a movement were to arise to challenge this matter, both through legal appeals and through legislation...after all, there are far more who will benefit from shorter copyright periods than those who will lose.

Year 3 Sleepover
On the 5th July year 3 did a sleepover in the school. It was really fun and we did lots of activities including: painting, swimming, rounders, orienteering and ICT. Then we went off to our tents to put our cosy pyjamas on. We went to 6W and someone special (Mr Hayes) came to read us a bedtime story whilst we drank hot chocolate. We went off to our tents at 9.45 and we were allowed to talk for a while until the teacher who stayed the night came around and told us to start going to sleep. It took quite a long time to get to sleep because it was so windy and rainy. In the morning we woke up very early so we went back to 6W to watch some TV whilst our breakfast was prepared. At 7.30 we ate our breakfast the we packed up our bags and put them in Year 1. We watched Lego Batman in Year 2 whilst we waited for our parents to come and get us. We were all so tired but had had a great time!
Year 5/6 Tag Rugby
Mr Sperring, Mr Cordiner and Mrs Tomlin took the year 5/6 Tag Rugby team to the Bucks and Milton Keynes School Games on Thursday. They had already beaten numerous schools to reach this stage, as had the other schools participating. They came across some very talented players and performed extremely well. All of the adults present were extremely proud of the attitude shown by all of the children.

Year 6 France Trip
Year 6 have returned from their wonderful trip to France! A big thank you goes to the children for their outstanding behaviour and consistent enthusiasm! We loved the trip, and we're sad it's over!
Here are all of the poems sent from France, in order:
Day One:
To our lovely parents, we're here safe and sound,We've very excited about the fun that's inbound,
Our first day in France, has been such a blast,
We're loving the sunshine, let's hope it can last!
We've settled in nicely, unpacked and had tea,
We've explored the chateau, there's so much to see!
There's fields and courts and pitches galore,
There's a shop and a games room and very much more,
The pool looks so lovely, can't wait for a dip,
Thank you so much for this wonderful trip!
Day Two:
Day two of our trip, it's been quite a day!
We've been to a French school to parle francais, We've made a great impression with everyone there,
We've made a few friends called Jean Paul and Pierre.
The chocolate factory was such a delight,
'Des Lis' was delicious; we loved every bite!
The pool was a welcome
RSPCA Week
Great Missenden School's RSPCA week was a resounding success! The week of themed assemblies inspired some fantastic celebrations of animals, awareness of animal issues and the work of the RSPCA.
We ended RSPCA week in style; Friday was RSPCA Day! The children were given the opportunity to dress as animal to raise money for the charity, as well as take part in RSPCA themed lesson organised by their teachers (who in Great Missenden tradition, also dressed for the occasion). The RSPCA stall was hugely popular and congratulations go to Sam from Year 5 for winning Bobo, the giant soft Panda!
We were delighted that the donations and purchase of RSPCA gifts came to a total of £633.08. What a fantastic outcome! We cannot thank all the children enough for their kindness and generosity. This money will make a real difference to animals in need in our local area.

My husband loves a good sale, so when I came home to two-for-one pineapples, I knew what had to be done. I headed straight out to the garden that I masterminded and he now tends, and I picked some basil. Well, before that, I did look up pineapple in The Flavor Bible to make sure I was on the right track.
I made a simple syrup with the basil, puréed the pineapple, added tequila, and olé, the perfect drink to kick off Cinco de Mayo. Start the simple syrup first so that it has time to infuse and cool down.
And while I was at it, this little tip occurred to me that I thought I'd share with you:
Pineapple Basil Margaritas (makes 6 margaritas, depending on your tolerance)
- 1 whole pineapple, cut into 1″ pieces
- 1 1/2 c. tequila
- 1/2 c. lime juice (about 6-7 limes)
- 1 recipe basil vanilla simple syrup
- chopped basil, for garnish
- lime wedges, for garnish
- Purée the pineapple chunks in a blender. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. If you don't want any pulp whatsoever, you can strain it through cheesecloth, but most people don't have cheesecloth lying around, and I liked the texture that the pineapple bits imparted.
- Pour pineapple purée into a pretty pitcher. Add tequila, lime juice, and basil vanilla simple syrup. Stir to combine.
- Garnish with chopped basil and lime wedges, if desired.
Basil Vanilla Simple Syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups loosely packed basil leaves
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
- Combine sugar, water, basil leaves and vanilla bean in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set syrup aside to infuse for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve and put in fridge to cool.

Design pared to the bone is a high-risk strategy, but as this Australian home illustrates, it can also produce a sublime environmental connection.
When building a second home, most people don't consider traveling farther than upstate. But the Taits built theirs 30 hours away on the coast of Tasmania.
A dramatic house in Australia drew its architectural inspiration from Mies van der Rohe but got its color from fresh tomato sauce.

Black Diamond and Opal Pools on Flickr.
Biscuit Basin, Yellowstone National Park, WY
Used a dual technique here to bring out the steam rising from the pools as well as the detail in the landscape. Initially I saw the thin wisps of steam on the pool and wanted to capture it. I stacked a 0.9 ND filter and CPL to get 5 stops and shot some slow shutter exposures. At the same time I bracketed the shots just to experiment with HDR. The combination of the two techniques created this surreal almost other worldly look at the Black Diamond and Opal Pools in Yellowstone.

"Lady Of The Lake"
Eielson AFB, AK
From the pamphlet:
"In 1957 the B-29s were replaced by B-50s, a larger version of the B-29. Although the two airplane models looked alike, most parts were not interchangeable. After World War II, most B-29s were cut up and scrapped, so the parts supply was rapidly dwindling. By the time the B-50s arrived, parts cannibalization on B-29s was standard practice, just to keep the remaining planes flying.
The "Lady of the Lake" was one such aircraft. With all the useful parts removed, and with no chance of replacement, the plane was removed from the active aircraft inventory. At that time, almost all of the flights originating out of Eielson AFB were reconnaissance flights traveling over open water, either over the Arctic Ocean, or the North Pacific Ocean. Someone thought of using the grounded WB-29 for open water extraction practice.
The plane was hauled out to its present location via the railroad, and set up in a shallow pond for training purposes. Unfortunately, either because of raising water, or because the plane sank into the bottom of the pond, the water level became too high to continue the extraction training, and the plane was abandoned in place. Over the years, a certain mystic rose around the plane, and many different theories came about as to its origins, but the case of the "Lady in the Lake" has been closed for now."

[QUOTE=garthw;852280]One thought is to buy a tent that is one size bigger than the number of people who will use it. ie If is just you get a 2 person, if you have a partner to share get a 3 person etc.[/QUOTE]
I normally buy a tent that is classified as a 4 season tent because of the added protection. I have found that you get what you pay for when purchasing a tent.
A few years ago, we were planning a winter snow trip and needed a backup tent so I purchased a model called "Extreme" made by a company called ALPS Mountaineering. It is offered in a two, three, or five person version and is a well designed tent with excellent ventilation.
ALPS manufactures this tent in two different fabrics, offering an "expedition" grade for serious use. If you like this tent, the expedition grade
is the one to buy. The standard model uses a lighter weight fabric to keep the weight down and to keep the tent at a lower price point.
What ever you purchase, do yourself a favor and set the tent up at home a few times before you take it out on the road.
BTW, REI has a great return policy on anything you buy from them. You can also rent a tent from them if you live near one of their stores:)

Global Democracy & Governance
How might the people of our world work with one another to govern ourselves more effectively on a global level? Are there alternatives to the current global decisions, policies, and practices that drive war, extreme poverty, and the unchecked power and influence of wealthy corporations?

Certain institutional innovations inside and outside the United Nations could in the meantime help avert armed conflict, finance environmental restoration, and empower civil society's voice in global decision-making.
