National Angel Quilt – A Sobering, Inspiring Symbol of Childhood Cancer
This post is dedicated to Juliana LaMonica, beloved daughter of my dear friends Mike and Christine LaMonica, of Honeoye Falls/formerly Brockport, who passed away of childhood cancer on July 5, 2010. Beautiful Juliana is one of five upstate New York children on the National Angel Quilt.
This afternoon I visited the National Angel Quilt at the Marketplace Mall in Henrietta.
The quilt – which features the names, ages, and images of children that have died from cancer – travels the nation.
Sobering is one word for the quilt.
Inspiring is another.
How can a quilt that bears such loss, such heartache, and so many tears also invoke inspiration?
All you have to do is meet Macolm Sutherland-Foggio, of the New Jersey, the creator of the quilt – to understand.
Malcolm, whose parents both attended the University of Rochester, was diagnosed with cancer (Ewing's Sarcoma) in 2008 at age 11.
During his treatment he decided to make wristbands to sell to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer.
"Within a few months I made $13,000," said Malcolm, "That's what I could do without trying and it made me wonder 'What could I do if I really tried to raise money?'"
Malcolm formed a not-for-profit foundation called "Make Some Noise: Cure Kids Cancer Foundation" to help fund pediatric cancer research and came up with the idea for the quilt.
The quilt began its national tour in 2011.
"When people look at the quilt they either know someone on it or they are seeing it for the first time but learning about childhood cancer,' Malcolm said. "It makes me feel good to educate."
Malcolm – an amazing young man – is currently in remission.
The quilt will be at Marketplace Mall through Sunday and is located to the immediate right of the main lobby area near Pandora and Gap.
Malcolm hopes the quilt will return to Rochester in the fall.
In the meantime, I want to share some sobering facts about childhood cancer with you that are displayed near the quilt:
- Everyday more than 2 classrooms full of children are diagnosed with cancer and 7 earn their wings each day
- Over a ten year period we lose 20,000 – 30,000 kids to cancer in the US alone and 1 million worldwide
- 80% of children's cancers have already metastasized by the time they are diagnosed

A week or so ago I had posted about installing a 4-pin mini-xlr in mine. I got around to doing it yesterday. I wound up putting it in the position of the stock jack, but I may relocate this to the bottom. So far, the plug sticking out the side hasn't bothered me at all.
I did not take any pics while I was doing the work, but drilled the stock jack location out to 7/16" (0.434") with a unibit. This took out most of the stock jack support plastic. I then took out the rest of it from the inside with a dremel. The stock wiring appears to be not too bad, and I did not have any problems soldering it to the jack. Stock jack appeared to be a Switchcraft (or knock-off) mini jack.
Jack and plug I used were from Redco, and appear to be Switchcraft. The nut for the jack fit fine after removing the stock jack support material, so no glue needed, and jack is nice and tight.

A young man goes into a drug store to buy condoms.
The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of 3, 9 or 12 and asks which the young man wants.
"Well," he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot. I want the condoms because I think tonight's "the" night. We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out. And I've got a feeling I'm gonna get lucky after that."
"Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12 pack."
The young man makes his purchase and leaves.
Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents. He asks if he might give the blessing and they agree. He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes.
The girl leans over to him and says, "You never told me that you were such a religious person."
The boy leans over to her and whispers, "You never told me that your father is a pharmacist."

A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut! -
Hello..Worth reading...
JUST A JOKE! PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!The Husband Store!
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch . . .. you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor, the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework. "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!Please send this to all men for a good laugh and to all the women who can handle the truth!
Remember Greed is one of the seven deadly sins.
You have to learn to be grateful for what you have to get more. When you are ungrateful you end up with nothing.
We have a meeting this afternoon
Please answer my newly posted Poll. Thanks
I wil upload it on youtube. but the file is big i will convert it to AVI before i could publish.

Fifty years to the day that Martin Luther King Jr., delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, President Barack Obama will take to the same steps to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the civil rights movement's March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
The march is one of Black American's greatest achievements. Tourism officials in the Nation's Capital are hoping that a quarter-million people will assemble in Washington, August 21-28, 2013, for events hosted by the King children, the remaining four of the original "Big Six" organizations and the march's last living organizer, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), and other organizations such as the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
The main events will include a commemorative march and rally along the historic 1963 route and a "Global Freedom Festival." The rally will be held at the Lincoln Memorial and the festival on the National Mall. Among the featured speakers and groups are: Sharpton, Martin Luther King III, the families of Trayvon Martin and Emmett Till; Lewis, and a host of Democratic officeholders and union officials.
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom 50 years ago remains one of the most successful mobilizations ever created by the American Left. Organized by a coalition of trade unionists, civil rights activists, and feminists of the day, most of them African American and nearly all of them Socialists – the protest drew nearly a quarter-million people to the Nation's Capital. It was the largest such demonstration in the history of the United States and set the stage for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Unfortunately, many of the issues that gave rise to the March on Washington 50 years ago remain unfulfilled or under siege today. African Americans are still nearly twice as likely to be unemployed as Whites, a rate unchanged in the past 50 years. Actually, "March 2013" serves as bitter reminders of not only how far we still are from realizing "the vision for jobs and freedom", it also underscores how ephemeral the gains made by the civil rights movement currently are in today's society.
As Black Americans assemble in Washington D.C. again, it's important that Blacks remember the role the late Bayard Rustin played in the march and subsequent movements. A proud Black gay man, Rustin served as an indispensable architect of the civil rights movement. His most noteworthy achievements include serving as chief organizer of the historic 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, mentoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and helping to form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the A. Philip Randolph Institute.
Quiet and dignified throughout his career, Rustin probably would view with disdain the drama that D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities wrought when they allowed local gay activists to summarily dismiss gospel singer and Pastor Donnie McClurkin from performing at a concert, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.
A spokesperson for Mayor Gray stated that: "The Arts and Humanities Commission and Donnie McClurkin's management decided that it would be best for him to withdraw because the purpose of the event is to bring people together," said Doxie McCoy. "Mayor Gray said the purpose of the event is to promote peace and harmony… that King was all about."
Whether MLK "was all about" deference to gay lifestyles is questionable. However, McClurkin said he was "asked not to attend," and cites the article he penned on a Christian website in 2002 that said that he struggled with homosexuality. "I've been through this and have experienced God's power to change my lifestyle," McClurkin wrote. "I am delivered and I know God can deliver others, too."
A longtime gay rights activist, Phil Pannell, raised objections with the mayor's office because he said McClurkin's comments on homosexuality were not in keeping with the spirit of the "beloved community" about which Kingspoke. Surely, the Gray administration cut a check to McClurkin, his management and musicians.

Hi - I can't get db mail working or delete the db mail queues. I've restarted sql server and sql server agent service. db mail stored procedures is enabled in surface area configuration. service broker in msdb is enabled. i've tried to delete the mail queue by running the following: DECLARE @GETDATE datetime SET @GETDATE =GETDATE () EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp @sent_before = @GETDATE ; GO But when I run the following there are still a number of mails listed with STATE as 'NOTIFIED'. EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_help_queue_sp @queue_type ='mail' These can't be removed. Any idea on how to get rid of these and clear the database mail queue. The enviornment is SQL Server 2005 SP3 on Windows 2003 SP2. I think if I delete the queues then the emails may be able to be sent. I've also tried to stop and restart the db mail by running the following two lines but get this error: The activated proc [dbo].[sp_sysmail_activate] running onqueue msdb.dbo.ExternalMailQueue output the following: 'Error executing extended stored procedure: Invalid Parameter' Code run to stop/start db mails is: sysmail_stop_sp --stopping the queue using sysmail_start_sp -- starting the queue using Any idea on how to resolve this?
Hi, I am not sure comment on this with complete confidence since I can not reproduce this issue. But after seeing your post, I had done some google and some reading, which gave me some thoughts mentioned in the link. Can you check this? Not sure if this will be a useful on or not. http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarg...ker-may-not-remove-messages-after-processing/ -Johnson
There are no results - 0 rows in sys.conversation_endpoints - so this is not applicable - any other ideas?
Is it not working from day one ? then some thing wrong with configuration pls check here for steps to configure db mail http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservert...atabase-mail-setup-and-configuration-scripts/
no stopped working after initally working for some time. if nobody has good suggestion for fix - what is the easiest way to re-install to fix? is there a minimal install to fix?
There could be some issues related to SMTP, my guess. However if you happen to see it works initially and then not, better to go through operating system, network and other layers to fix the issue. We cannot give you step by step suggestions on the problems that you are getting, the voluntary help you get from forums is enormous and it will be more useful if you can take your time to investigate.

Unlike Perl and PHP, both Python and Ruby don't allow you to convert strings implicitly to numbers like this, instead demanding that you explicitly convert them (by calling int() in Python and the to_i() method in Ruby). Curiously, Ruby's to_i() method, a la Perl and C's atoi(), happily converts "2abc" to the integer 2, while Python's stricter int() function instead issues a run time error. I know about all this from playing too much multi-language golf. :- ) In golf, these explicit conversions are certainly a chronic pest. In normal programming, however, I don't feel strongly -- though I suspect demanding explicit conversion may help the programmer avoid some data conversion boo boos.

Senator Demands Accountability in $400 Million Deal
Brewster, N.Y. – (10/03/11) – Senator Greg Ball (R, C – Patterson) is demanding answers after Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced plans to give $400 million in taxpayer money to a host of corporate giants with a track record of outsourcing American jobs. What the Governor failed to discuss were specifics and guarantees.
As an Assemblyman, Greg Ball fought to launch an investigation into IBM's offshore practices after they received a windfall totaling nearly $100 million from New York. In December of 2008, IBM accepted $45 million from the Empire State Development Corporation in return for not cutting jobs at its East Fishkill facility. Just two weeks later, according to reports, the company laid off 278 workers. Shortly after, Ball authored legislation to end tax incentives for companies that offshore jobs.
"Let me explain this in simple terms. IBM has already received hundreds of millions of dollars from New York taxpayers. Not even a few years back, we found out IBM was cashing checks from taxpayers while simultaneously patenting a new technology specifically designed to outsource our jobs in America. Now, as small businesses everywhere are shutting their doors, we are going to reward these global giants with an even larger giveaway of corporate welfare, without asking the tough questions?"
In 2009, IBM refused to respond to a Wall Street Journal report stating the company was shifting 5,000 American jobs to India. To this day, the company remains mum about how many jobs it has outsourced over the past two years.
Ball's war against corporate welfare to powerful multi-national corporations has been a continuous uphill fight because of powerful corporate interests in both parties. Ball first went public with the IBM issue after constituents alerted him to the severity of layoffs made by the company, including cases in which employees were refused severance and health care packages, despite being promised by the company that these benefits would be given even if layoffs were made. Ball organized and attended several rallies and press conferences outside IBM facilities to bring light to these financial dealings and the terms of the layoffs.
"It is the new and small businesses, those creating over 70% of the jobs, that we must help if we truly want to turn this economy around. This $400 million could have been divided into 1,600 or more small business loans, spreading opportunity to new businesses and entrepreneurs statewide. In fact, a portion could have immediately went to fix bridges, roads and crumbling infrastructure, putting thousands of New Yorkers back to work, now that would have helped Main Street!"
Senator Ball is holding a press conference in Peekskill, New York on Thursday, October 6th where he will call on Cuomo to demand real answers from these corporate giants.
Who: Senator Greg Ball
When: Thursday, October 6th at 2 p.m.
Where: Yorktown Health & Wellness Center
1853 Commerce Street
Underhill Plaza
Yorktown Heights, N.Y. 10598
For more information or to speak with Senator Ball, please contact Ali Skinner: (845) 200-9716.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
As a father and a gamer, I thought it might be fun to put together a gift guide (wish list?) of sorts, focusing on everything the gamer dad in your life needs.
Well "need" may be too strong a word here. Would really like to have you buy for him (or let him buy for himself) may be more appropriate.
I've divvied this list up into a few different categories. Some of the items are ones I own. Others are testers I got to play with for a while for review purposes. Not everything I tested out made the cut.
Also, be sure to check out our Forbes Games Reviews page to get the rundown on current releases, many of which would also make great gifts this Father's Day.
The Console: Wii U Mario Kart 8 Bundle
With so many consoles to choose from, it may seem a little odd to pick the under-dog. But I still think the best "new-gen" games available right now are on the Wii U.
From Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze to The Wonderful 101 to Super Mario 3D World to the just-released Mario Kart 8, there's a growing catalog of exclusives you can't play anywhere else.
Mario Kart 8 is already a serious contender for Game of the Year, and the bundle itself comes packed not only with the game and the console, but a Wii Remote Plus and a Wii Wheel. It's a great deal, especially for dads who want to play games with their kids.
The Laptop: MSI GS60 Gaming Notebook
Gaming laptops range from surprisingly cheap to multi-thousand dollar behemoths. Most of them are bulky and heavy. Few of them are particularly attractive.
Not so with the MSI GS60 Ghost-007. Weighing in at just under 4.4 lbs and measuring just under an inch thick, the GS60 is light, thin, and sleek. It's also packing quite a lot of horsepower, boasting an Intel Intel Core i7 processor, an Nvidia GTX 860M video card with 2GB of dedicated video memory, and 12GB of DDR3L system RAM.
This makes it fast, powerful, and good-looking, just like the gamer dad in your life. Right? The colorful matte display doesn't go above 1080p unless you spring for the more expensive 3K version, but it looks terrific regardless. Running games like Dark Souls II, WildStar, and BioShock Infinite, the GS60 never broke a sweat.
And the SteelSeries keyboard, replete with multi-colored backlit keys, is responsive and only adds to the attractiveness of the machine.

Simon Chapman, Professor of Public Health at Sydney University
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Australia's new tobacco plain packaging laws are due in no small part to Professor Simon Chapman. Meet the man who's been the thorniest thorn in the side of the tobacco industry.
Simon Chapman was stunned when he first heard the that Federal Government was going to act on a recommendation to adopt plain packaging legislation.
Plain packaging reduces the allure of cigarettes - all branding is removed and only gruesome warnings and images of smoking related diseases remain.
Simon Chapman, who has been working in the field of tobacco control for 35 years, says it's a devastating blow to the tobacco industry and a victory for public health.
International interest in Australia's move is intense. The United Kingdom, Turkey, New Zealand, Norway and India are all considering introducing plain packaging laws.

A man broke open a vending machine inside the Pelbano Recreation Center early this week, but it wasn't to satisfy his sweet tooth.
In fact, the thief ignored the candy and snacks and went straight for the cash, Philadelphia police say. Detectives have recovered surveillance video of the crime and are trying to identify the culprit.
The incident occurred late on Monday or early Tuesday when the recreation center was closed, so the unknown crook is wanted for burglary and theft. Pelbano is at 2138 Solly Ave. in Rhawnhurst.
The first arriving staff members contacted police at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. A video recovered from security cameras shows the hooded burglar prying open a rear door to the property, approaching a vending machine in a hallway and using a tool to pry it open. After grabbing an unknown amount of cash from the machine, the crook exited via the rear door and ran through the playground toward Stanwood Street.
Police describe the suspect as white and 20 years old with a medium build, a mustache and a goatee beard. He wore a hooded jacket, dark pants and a dark skullcap. To view the video, visit the Philadelphia Police channel on YouTube.com. Call 215-686-TIPS or text to PPDTIP to report information. ••

If you are looking for essential go-fast gear for colder climates, then look no farther. The 5.11 Aggressor Parka is three jackets in one and will serve you well in many different climates. Modeled after the 3-in-1 Patrol Jacket, the Aggressor Parka is a functional piece of outerwear for off duty or under-cover work. The outer shell is completely waterproof and breathable and can be worn separately in cool weather. A full featured waterproof and breathable hood is concealed in the collar of the outer shell for those extreme cold conditions requiring full coverage.
Functionality The Aggressor Parka is truly a 3-in-1 system that will keep you comfortable in a number of different weather conditions. Layering is the key to staying comfortable and this parka uses that concept to adapt to changes in the weather. The outer waterproof and breathable shell can be worn separately in cool and wet conditions. The fleece liner which is color matched to the shell can be worn on its own in cool and windy conditions. Worn together you have a full functioning cold weather parka which will protect you against extreme cold. Break out the waterproof and breathable hood and you are covered in blizzard conditions. The side zippers provide quick access to your waist band for concealed carry and ventilation. Includes three concealed ID panels, two on the front and one on the back which can be exposed at an emergency scene for clear identification.
Storage The Aggressor Parka is loaded with storage. The outer shell has five pockets including our hidden chest document pockets. The document pockets are lined to accommodate our Back-Up-Belt System™ accessories so you can secure a small handgun, handcuffs or other critical items for immediate accessibility. The chest pockets have Velcro closures. The remaining pockets have YKK zippered closures for extra security. The fleece liner has two zippered hand pockets which are great for keeping your hands warm on those cold days.
Durability Designed to last and take a beating, the Aggressor Parka has sealed seams, a durable outer lining, and heavy duty construction using quality fabrics. The fleece liner has heavy duty nylon covering the shoulders and elbows for added durability.
Hardware The Aggressor Parka uses only quality YKK zippers for all pockets and closures. PRYM snaps are used throughout and our Velcro closures stay securely closed to keep the cold out. The waterproof and breathable outer shell material is seam sealed for added protection against extreme wet elements.
Fit The Aggressor Parka is a parka length jacket designed to fit sizes from extra small to 4XL. The sleeve closures are adjustable to keep the cold out and allow maximum flexibility and range of motion.
The front panel measures 5" W x 5 1/2" L. The back panel measures 12 1/2" W x 9" L.
Properly-fitted tactical gear not only keeps you looking professional, but also keeps you feeling comfortable for your entire shift. See below for advice on taking accurate measurements.
All measurements in inches.
Short or "S": 5' 3" to 5' 7.5"; Regular or "R": 5' 8" to 6' 1"; Tall or "T": 6' 1" to 6' 5". Tall sizes have 2" added to body and sleeve length.
5.11 Men's Pants Sizes may be expressed as either "waist x inseam" (e.g. "34-36" for 34-inch waist with 36-inch inseam) or as "size x fit" ("XL-R" for size XL Regular). See below for measuring advice.
*Arm Length refers to your actual arm length, not the garment's sleeve length.
Regular: 5' 5" to 5' 7"; Tall: 5' 8" to 5' 11". Tall sizes have 2" added to body length and 1.5" added to sleeve length.
5.11 Women's Pants Sizes typically expressed as "ready-to-wear size x fit" (e.g. "10-T" for size 10 Tall).
The following guidelines are important in getting the right fit:

Monitor Tab Thanks for the update. FYI When I go to the Monitor Tab, I click on More Information...I don't see any more info or details, it just changes the title from System State to Server State. Thanks.
@onastvar: As far as I can see, the "Server State" page is the correct details page and this has not been changed since 3.0.4. The System state page sums up the information while the server state page shows more detailed information when there are errors. If you current system stage is "green = no errors", the the server state page will look like the system state page as there are no additional details on errors available. I see that we should make clearer in future releases.
On centos 6.2 with Apache (The Perfect Server - CentOS 6.2 x86_64 With Apache2 [ISPConfig 3]) update process hangs after mailman restarting.
I just upgraded on Debian 6 and I am experiencing the same issue. When you click on "More info" the page is supposed to show detailled information like "Update-status ... ok, RAID Status ... ok, et cetera" but it only changes the title. But anyway thanks for the upgrade, it ran without a problem.
The tar command returned an error (exit code != 0), so the ispconfig updater stopped as the backup might be corrupted and we dont want to rely on a possibly corrupted backup. Check with "df -h" id there is enough space for the backup. If thats ok, then try to start the backup again to see if the backup succeeds now. maybe a file was changed during backup.
Upgrade to ISPConfig Version126.96.36.199 is succesfull Dear Falko & Till, I just upgraded my Debian Squeeze homeserver. The upgrade from 184.108.40.206 to 22.214.171.124 went fine and all looks great! Thanks for this new release.
I created a DB in a previous version, the DB name is 1ek2012, when I open the properties of this DB it renamed the DBname to 1ek202? When I cancel and click back the name is still 1ek2012.
Seems as if you or another admin of your server changed the database name prefix in the time since you edited the database the last time under System > Interface config. So thats not related to the update.
Till, Indeed I changed the prefix in some version of ISPconfig about 2 years ago. I changed all the prefixes to [CLIENTID] In this example the [CLIENTID] is 1 and the name of the DB is ek2012 In the overview the name is correct 1ek2012 but when I click it it changed to 1ek202?
Ok, I will check that. The issue is somehow related to your rename of the databases or database prefixes and not the ispconfig update. Changing the prefix on systems where databases exist can lead to problems when you edit the existing databases the next time as it might be that ispconfig can not parse the database name anymore because it ahs not created it which then results in changes of the DB when you edit it. For that reason it is highly recommended to use the default prefixes that start with a char and not a number as some services does not support identifiers that start with numbers.
Tnx Till, untill now it worked and no issues. Can you please give me the default settings for the prefixes?
I added yozrreport to the bugtracker so we will check if the parser can be improved to handle your configuration as well. The default prefixes are: dbname_prefix=c[CLIENTID] dbuser_prefix=c[CLIENTID] ftpuser_prefix=[CLIENTNAME] shelluser_prefix=[CLIENTNAME] webdavuser_prefix=[CLIENTNAME] But dont alter the prefixes on your existing server as this can make things even worse.

NV"Great place for a large wedding. So many pieces at your fingertips to make for a very unique ceremony and reception. Bar upstairs and downstairs, cushy red chairs, and tables. This place holds up to 350 people, we had 200 and filled it with tables and enough room for a dance floor space. We got married on the stage and our parents sat in the box seats on each side. It felt like we were the stars in the theater. Virginia City is a great place to get married, we had our guests do a scavenger hunt on C street between the ceremony and reception so we could have pictures done. Our friends are still raving about it!"

Forgotten Hope 2 is an award-winning World War II modification for Battlefield 2TM and is based on the original Forgotten Hope, a modification for Battlefield 1942TM, one of the most popular multiplayer games ever. Battlefield 1942TM featured land, sea and air combat in a way never before seen. It was the goal of the development team to maximize the game experience by adding both a realistic and enjoyable gameplay to FH and now to FH2.
that would be Sushka , if you didn't want to swear

The update to the SU-76M took about 3 months, and involved moving the two engines over to the righthand side of the hull, and lowering the armour protection at the rear. This later change led to the nickname 'bare-arsed Ferdinand', and made the crew extremely vulnerable.
The SU-76M replaced almost all the infantry tanks in the Red Army. It had such a low ground pressure that it could follow infantry through swamps no other vehicle could, and the large cannon and ease of communication between the crew and supporting infantry made it effective in urban environments too. Both our SU-76 and Su-76M were made by Toddel.

NEW YORK, Thursday—Now that the election returns are all in, all of us will be analyzing the results for a long time to come.
I was sorry my son, James, lost out in California because I know when you work very hard to win an election, it is always a disappointment even though you may be entirely prepared for such an event. I can recall the 1920 election when my husband ran for Vice President. We all knew he would be defeated, but even then there was a little letdown afterwards.
Fortunately for all of us, however, political defeats are only temporary disappointments. We start again after a short rest on the real business of living, and instead of being a candidate we just become good, average citizens.
There is one great advantage in belonging to the party that is not in power. You can sit on the sidelines and criticize. And you can always find things to criticize. But as long as you are not in a position to run things, no one can blame you for what goes on.
I felt particularly disappointed that Chester Bowles should be defeated, because he had given the State of Connecticut really good service. But, being a good man, he will soon be needed and called on, I'm sure, for good men are too few in both parties.
There is a growing interest in the schools today in trying to develop among the children an understanding that democracy is something we live by—something we must learn as children in order to respect human rights and freedoms and become good citizens.
Some of our schools are putting on programs to teach consideration among the young people of the rights set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, showing them how this Declaration must be applied in their daily lives. These young people who are shortly going to run the country need to realize that no matter how many laws are passed within nations or even in the United Nations, it is only as people in their hearts feel the desire to live up to human rights and to respect civil liberties that they can become a reality and a force in every community.
Last night I went to see "Call Me Madam" in which Ethel Merman is supposed to impersonate Mrs. Perle Mesta. I cannot say that I noticed any resemblance, but it was an amusing evening and I think will be enjoyed by everyone who is in need of a little relaxation.
I am beginning to think that, as a political force, labor is somewhat uncertain as a backer. But when it sticks to its duty toward the workingman it seems to get better cooperation among its members.
I have been interested for many years in the New York Women's Trade Union League. It runs a clubhouse on Lexington Avenue near 34th Street where women meet to discuss the problems of organizing women and of obtaining better conditions of labor. They also have an educational program there which has given many girls opportunities for improvement, some along educational lines and some for the development of hobbies.
Every year this group gives a benefit and this year, on December 6, their benefit will take place at the Martin Beck theatre where "Ring Around the Moon" will be playing. They are now selling seats for this annual show and if you are interested in helping the women of the labor movement to progress, this is one of the best outlets there is.

Special Report
April 11, 2013
US and South Korean armed forces went on the highest level of alert - Watchcon 2 - Thursday, April 11, ready for multiple launches after at least one North Korean ballistic Musudan missile was sighted fueled and ready to launch at any moment. Some Western intelligence sources attribute Pyongyang's saber-rattling to a power struggle ongoing between Kim Jong-Un's military backers and the generals who judge him unfit for the top command. He may order a missile launch to assert his authority against his detractors.
Special Report
April 5, 2013
Tehran's intercession in the Korean crisis on the side of its ally in Pyongyang was predictable, even while the US preferred to ignore their close interrelations. And so, on Friday, April 5, Deputy Chief of Iran's Armed Forces Brig. Gen. Masoud Jazayeri stepped forward to point the finger at the US, saying: "The time for Washington's bullying and extortion is long past." His words came at the very moment that Iranian intransigence brought the latest six-power meeting on its nuclear program to its customary dead end. |

Fighting crime with art in South Africa
22 April 2013 Last updated at 18:03 BST
Culture is not the first thing that springs to mind when people in South Africa talk of about Diepsloot township.
As one of Johannesburg's largest informal settlements, it is more often thought of as a hotbed of crime, not a hive of cultural activity.
But a recent initiative to bring art to the streets could change this, as Diepsloot Arts and Culture Network member Lucky Nkali explains.

We're sitting at his living room worktable in the home he shares with his brother, Milford, also a noted potter, and their families. Like most Zuni today, the Nahohais no longer live in the multistoried adobe dwellings for which Halona, the old part of the Zuni Pueblo, was once famous. Most now favor modest adobe, stucco or mobile homes.
Nahohai hands me a small bowl of salt. "You'll see the difference," he says. The salt, which Zuni men collect on pilgrimages to their sacred Zuni Salt Lake (not to be confused with the larger one in Utah, some 600 miles to the north), has a soft, almost powdery, feel. "We've been collecting our salt at our Salt Lake for thousands of years," Nahohai says. "And that's another reason that we stay here: we're living where our ancestors lived. All these people who were here before you—it makes your head swell up with pride just to be Zuni. I try to show that pride through my work."
In a back bedroom where he and his youngest son sleep, Nahohai produces hand-built pots that he paints with abstract designs of the night sky or stylized images of leaping deer. Nahohai and his brother shape their pottery from clay they collect at a spot that has long been used by the tribe's potters. And they make their paints in the traditional way, by boiling certain plant roots until they gain a resin-like consistency, or grinding small chunks of ocher into a pliable paste. But they use an electric kiln and modern paintbrushes, instead of the old yucca-tipped ones favored by their forebears.
"I hate the taste of yucca," Nahohai says. "We learned everything about making pottery from our mother. For a long time before her, there were hardly any Zuni potters. That tradition died out with the arrival of metal pans. And then there was just too much Tupperware, so nobody made pottery."
Nahohai's mother, Josephine, who died last year, and other Zuni women revived the craft. In the process, they created one of Zuni's more important cottage industries. (Nahohai's pottery, which incorporates elements of traditional Zuni symbolism, is displayed at the National Museum of the American Indian.) The tribal council estimates that about 80 percent of all Zuni families earn at least part of their income through their arts, giving the pueblo something of the feel of an artists' colony. Inside every home, it seems, someone is bent over a workbench creating inlaid jewelry, carving an animal fetish (renderings of various animals said to possess their powers and spirit, much favored by collectors), sculpting a kachina doll (representations of spiritual beings) or making pottery. Most picked up their skill by watching their parents.
"My folks would let me help with the polishing," says Lorandina Sheche as she sits at a grinding wheel in a back bedroom of her family's home sculpting a bear that resembles those the Zuni made in the 19th century. "Then, one day, my dad went to the store for a while, so I took—well, I stole—one of his rocks." Sheche laughs at the memory. "I made a fetish from dad's rock, a big coyote like the ones in the anthropologist's book. My dad called it 'E.T.' and said no one would buy it. But an Albuquerque Native crafts store did. They paid me $45 for it."
From under her workbench, Sheche pulls out a copy of Frank Hamilton Cushing's monograph, Zuñi Fetishes (1883). I'm surprised, since Cushing, a member of a Smithsonian Institution expedition that came to study the tribe in 1879, is held in low regard by many Zuni. Just 22 at the time, Cushing was disappointed when the expedition chose not to move into the pueblo, so, the story goes, he plunked his bedroll down in the tribal governor's house. "How long will it be before you go back to Washington?" the governor is said to have asked him. Cushing stayed four-and-a-half years, learning the Zuni language and their sacred ceremonies.
Among anthropologists, Cushing is regarded as a pioneering figure, one of the first professional ethnologists, and the original "participant observer." But to the Zuni, he is another in a long line of white betrayers. Most damaging in Zuni eyes, Cushing wrote in great detail about their religion and its sacred ceremonies, violating their trust in sharing secret knowledge.
"Yes, Cushing was that white man who was adopted by the tribe and became a Bow Priest," says Sheche. "And he learned many Zuni things and believed it all—but then he went home and published all our knowledge. My grandpa used to say that Cushing was a good guy and a crook."
Sheche laughs merrily, apparently unconcerned that she's drawing on such a controversial work to carve her own authentic Zuni fetishes. For Sheche, what matters is that selling fetishes—together with her husband's finely carved kachinas as well as some baby-sitting work—enables her to live at Zuni.

Ancona (Italian pronunciation: [aŋˈkoːna] ( listen); Greek: Ἀγκών – Ankon (elbow)) is a city and a seaport in the Marche region in central Italy, with a population of c. 101,997 as of 2015[update]. Ancona is the capital of the province of Ancona and of the region.
The city is located 280 km (170 mi) northeast of Rome, on the Adriatic Sea, between the slopes of the two extremities of the promontory of Monte Conero, Monte Astagno and Monte Guasco.
Ancona is one of the main ports on the Adriatic Sea, especially for passenger traffic, and is the main economic and demographic centre of the region.
Ancona was founded by Greek settlers from Syracuse about 387 BC, who gave it its name: Ancona stems from the Greek word Αγκων, meaning "elbow"; the harbour to the east of the town was originally protected only by the promontory on the north, shaped like an elbow. Greek merchants established a Tyrian purple dye factory here.[1] In Roman times it kept its own coinage with the punning device of the bent arm holding a palm branch, and the head of Aphrodite on the reverse, and continued the use of the Greek language.
When it became a Roman colony is uncertain. It was occupied as a naval station in the Illyrian War of 178 BC.[2] Julius Caesar took possession of it immediately after crossing the Rubicon. Its harbour was of considerable importance in imperial times, as the nearest to Dalmatia, and was enlarged by Trajan, who constructed the north quay with his Syrian architect Apollodorus of Damascus. At the beginning of it stands the marble triumphal arch with a single archway, and without bas-reliefs, erected in his honour in 115 by the Senate and Roman people.
Ancona was successively attacked by the Goths, Lombards and Saracens between the 3rd and 5th centuries, but recovered its strength and importance. It was one of the cities of the Pentapolis of the Roman Exarchate of Ravenna in the 7th and 8th centuries.[3] In 840, Saracen raiders sacked and burned the city.[4] After Charlemagne's conquest of northern Italy, it became the capital of the Marca di Ancona, whence the name of the modern region. After 1000, Ancona became increasingly independent, eventually turning into an important maritime republic (together with Gaeta and Ragusa, it is one of those not appearing on the Italian naval flag), often clashing against the nearby power of Venice. An oligarchic republic, Ancona was ruled by six Elders, elected by the three terzieri into which the city was divided: S. Pietro, Porto and Capodimonte. It had a coin of its own, the agontano, and a series of laws known as Statuti del mare e del Terzenale and Statuti della Dogana. Ancona was usually allied with Ragusa and the Byzantine Empire. In 1137, 1167 and 1174 it was strong enough to push back the forces of the Holy Roman Empire. Anconitan ships took part in the Crusades, and their navigators included Cyriac of Ancona. In the struggle between the Popes and the Holy Roman Emperors that troubled Italy from the 12th century onwards, Ancona sided with the Guelphs.
Differently from other cities of northern Italy, Ancona never became a seignory. The sole exception was the rule of the Malatesta, who took the city in 1348 taking advantage of the black death and of a fire that had destroyed many of its important buildings. The Malatesta were ousted in 1383. In 1532 it definitively lost its freedom and became part of the Papal States, under Pope Clement VII. Symbol of the papal authority was the massive Citadel. Together with Rome, and Avignon in southern France, Ancona was the sole city in the Papal States in which the Jews were allowed to stay after 1569, living in the ghetto built after 1555.
In 1733 Pope Clement XII extended the quay, and an inferior imitation of Trajan's arch was set up; he also erected a Lazaretto at the south end of the harbour, Luigi Vanvitelli being the architect-in-chief. The southern quay was built in 1880, and the harbour was protected by forts on the heights. From 1797 onwards, when the French took it, it frequently appears in history as an important fortress. Ancona entered the Kingdom of Italy when Christophe Léon Louis Juchault de Lamoricière surrendered here on 29 September 1860, eleven days after his defeat at Castelfidardo.
On 23 May 1915, Italy entered World War I and joined the Entente Powers; in response the Austro-Hungarian Navy attacked Ancona, causing extensive damage and killing several dozen people.
During World War II, in July 1944, the city was taken by the Polish II Corps as part of an Allied operation to gain access to a seaport closer to the Gothic Line in order to shorten their lines of communication for the advance into northern Italy.
The Greek community of Ancona in the 16th century[edit]
Ancona, as well as Venice, became a very important destination for merchants from the Ottoman Empire during the 16th century. The Greeks formed the largest of the communities of foreign merchants. They were refugees from former Byzantine or Venetian territories that were occupied by the Ottomans in the late 15th and 16th centuries. The first Greek community was established in Ancona early in the 16th century. Natalucci, the 17th-century historian of the city, notes the existence of 200 Greek families in Ancona at the opening of the 16th century. Most of them came from northwestern Greece, i.e. the Ionian islands and Epirus. In 1514, Dimitri Caloiri of Ioannina obtained reduced custom duties for Greek merchants coming from the towns of Ioannina, Arta and Avlona in Epirus. In 1518 a Jewish merchant of Avlona succeeded in lowering the duties paid in Ancona for all "the Levantine merchants, subjects to the Turk".
In 1531 the Confraternity of the Greeks (Confraternita dei Greci) was established which included Orthodox and Catholic Greeks. They secured the use of the Church of St. Anna dei Greci and were granted permission to hold services according to the Greek and the Latin rite. The church of St. Anna had existed since the 13th century, initially as "Santa Maria in Porta Cipriana," on ruins of the ancient Greek walls of Ancona.
In 1534 a decision by Pope Paul III favoured the activity of merchants of all nationalities and religions from the Levant and allowed them to settle in Ancona with their families. A Venetian travelling through Ancona in 1535 recorded that the city was "full of merchants from every nation and mostly Greeks and Turks." In the second half of the 16th century, the presence of Greek and other merchants from the Ottoman Empire declined after a series of restrictive measures taken by the Italian authorities and the pope.
Disputes between the Orthodox and Catholic Greeks of the community were frequent and persisted until 1797 when the city was occupied by France who closed all the religious confraternities and confiscated the archive of the Greek community. The church of St. Anna dei Greci was re-opened to services in 1822. In 1835, in the absence of a Greek community in Ancona, it passed to the Latin Church.[5][6]
Jewish history[edit]
Jews began to live in Ancona in 967 A.D.[7] In 1270, Jewish resident of Ancona, Jacob of Ancona travelled to China, four years before Marco Polo and documented his impressions in a book called "The City of Lights". From 1300 and on, the Jewish community of Ancona grew steadily, most due to the city importance and it being a center of trade with the Levant. In that year, Jewish poet Immanuel the Roman tried to lower high taxation taken from the Jewish community of the city. Over the next 200 years, Jews from Germany, Spain, Sicily and Portugal immigrated to Ancona, due to persecutions in their homeland and thanks to the pro-Jewish attitude taken towards Ancona Jews due to their importance in the trade and banking business, making Ancona a trade center. In 1550, the Jewish population of Ancona numbered about 2700 individuals.[8]
In 1555, pope Paul IV forced the Crypto-Judaism community of the city to convert to Christianity, as part of his Papal Bull of 1555. While some did, others refused to do so and thus were hanged and then burnt in the town square.[8] In response, Jewish merchants boycotted Ancona for a short while. The boycott was led by Dona Gracia Mendes Nasi.
Though emancipated by Napoleon I for several years, in 1843 Pope Gregory XVI revived an old decree, forbidding Jews from living outside the ghetto, wearing identification sign on their clothes and other religious and financial restrictions, though public opinion did not approve of these restrictions and they were cancelled a short while after.[9]
The Jews of Ancona received full emancipation in 1848. In 1938, 1177 lived in Ancona.[9] 53 Jews were sent away to Germany, 15 of them survived and returned to the town after World War II. The majority of the Jewish community stayed in town or immigrated due to high ransoms paid to the fascist regime. In 2004, about 200 Jews lived in Ancona.
Two synagogues and two cemeteries still exist in the city. The ancient Monte-Cardeto cemetery is one of the biggest Jewish cemeteries in Europe and tombstones are dated to 1552 and on. It can still be visited and it resides within the Parco del Cardeto.
World War I and World War II[edit]
Ancona was one of the most important Italian ports on the Adriatic Sea during the Great War; in 1915, following Italy's entry, the battleship division of the Austro-Hungarian Navy carried out extensive bombardments causing great damage to all installations.[10]
The Battle of Ancona was a battle involving Free Polish forces serving as part of the British Army and German forces that took place from 16 June to 18 July 1944 during the Italian campaign in World War II. The battle was the result of an Allied plan to capture the city of Ancona in Italy in order to gain possession of a seaport closer to the fighting so that they could shorten their lines of communication. The Polish 2nd Corps was tasked with capture of the city on 16 June 1944, accomplishing the task a month later on 18 July 1944.[11]
The climate of Ancona is humid subtropical (Cfa in the Köppen climate classification) and the city lies on the border between mediterranean and more continental regions. Precipitation is regular throughout the year. Winters are cool (January mean temp. 5 °C or 41 °F), with frequent rain and fog. Lows can reach −10 °C (14 °F) – or below – outside the city centre, during the most intense cold waves. Snow is not unusual with air masses coming from Northern Europe or from the Balkans and Russia, and can be heavy at times, especially in the hills surrounding the city centre. Summers are usually warm and humid (July mean temp. 22.5 °C or 72.5 °F). Highs sometimes reach values around 35 and 40 °C (95 and 104 °F), especially if the wind is blowing from the south or from the west (föhn effect off the Appennine mountains). Thunderstorms are quite common, particularly in August and September (when can be intense with flash floods). Spring and autumn are changeable seasons, but generally mild. Extremes in temperature have been −15.4 °C (4.3 °F) (in 1967) and 40.8 °C (105.4 °F) (in 1968) / 40.5 °C (104.9 °F) (in 1983).

In 2007, there were 101,480 people residing in Ancona (the greater area has a population more than four times its size), located in the province of Ancona, Marche, of whom 47.6% were male and 52.4% were female. Minors (children ages 18 and younger) totalled 15.54 percent of the population compared to pensioners who number 24.06 percent. This compares with the Italian average of 18.06 percent (minors) and 19.94 percent (pensioners). The average age of Ancona resident is 48 compared to the Italian average of 42. In the five years between 2002 and 2007, the population of Ancona grew by 1.48 percent, while Italy as a whole grew by 3.56 percent.[13][14] The current birth rate of Ancona is 8.14 births per 1,000 inhabitants compared to the Italian average of 9.45 births.
As of 2006[update], 92.77% of the population was Italian. The largest immigrant group came from other European nations (particularly those from Albania, Romania and Ukraine): 3.14%, followed by the Americas: 0.93%, East Asia: 0.83%, and North Africa: 0.80%.
Main sights[edit]
Ancona Cathedral[edit]
Ancona Cathedral, dedicated to Judas Cyriacus, was consecrated at the beginning of the 11th century and completed in 1189.[15] Some writers suppose that the original church was in the form of a basilica and belonged to the 7th century. An early restoration was completed in 1234. It is a fine Romanesque building in grey stone, built in the form of a Greek cross, and other elements of Byzantine art. It has a dodecagonal dome over the centre slightly altered by Margaritone d'Arezzo in 1270. The façade has a Gothic portal, ascribed to Giorgio da Como (1228), which was intended to have a lateral arch on each side.
The interior, which has a crypt under each transept, in the main preserves its original character. It has ten columns which are attributed to the temple of Venus. The church was restored in the 1980s.
Other sights[edit]
- The marble Arch of Trajan, 18 m high, erected in 114/115 as an entrance to the causeway atop the harbour wall in honour of the emperor who had made the harbour, is one of the finest Roman monuments in the Marche. Most of its original bronze enrichments have disappeared. It stands on a high podium approached by a wide flight of steps. The archway, only 3 m wide, is flanked by pairs of fluted Corinthian columns on pedestals. An attic bears inscriptions. The format is that of the Arch of Titus in Rome, but made taller, so that the bronze figures surmounting it, of Trajan, his wife Plotina and sister Marciana, would figure as a landmark for ships approaching Rome's greatest Adriatic port.
- The Lazzaretto (Laemocomium or "Mole Vanvitelliana"), planned by architect Luigi Vanvitelli in 1732 is a pentagonal building covering more than 20,000 m², built to protect the military defensive authorities from the risk of contagious diseases eventually reaching the town with the ships. Later it was used also as a military hospital or as barracks; it is currently used for cultural exhibits.
- The Episcopal Palace was the place where Pope Pius II died in 1464.
- The church of Santa Maria della Piazza, with an elaborate arcaded façade (1210).
- The Palazzo del Comune (or Palazzo degli Anziani – Elders palace), built in 1250, with lofty arched substructures at the back, was the work of Margaritone d'Arezzo, and has been restored twice.
- Church of San Francesco alle Scale
- Church of Sant'Agostino, built by the Augustinians in 1341 as Santa Maria del Popolo, and enlarged by Luigi Vanvitelli in the 18th century and turned into a palace after 1860. It has maintained the Gothic portal by Giorgio da Sebenico, with statues portraying St. Monica, St. Nicola da Tolentino, St. Simplicianus and Blessed Agostino Trionfi.
- Church of the Santi Pellegrino e Teresa (18th century)
- Church of the Santissimo Sacramento (16th and 18th centuries)
There are also several fine late Gothic buildings, including the Palazzo Benincasa, the Palazzo del Senato and the Loggia dei Mercanti, all by Giorgio da Sebenico, and the prefecture, which has Renaissance additions.
The National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale) is housed in the Palazzo Ferretti, built in the late Renaissance by Pellegrino Tibaldi; it preserves frescoes by Federico Zuccari. The Museum is divided into several sections:
- prehistoric section, with palaeolithic and neolithic artefacts, objects of the Copper Age and of the Bronze Age
- protohistoric section, with the richest existing collection of the Picenian civilization; the section includes a remarkable collection of Greek ceramics
- Greek-Hellenistic section, with coins, inscriptions, glassware and other objects from the necropolis of Ancona
- Roman section, with a statue of Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, carved sarcophagi and two Roman beds with fine decorations in ivory
- rich collection of ancient coins (not yet exposed)
The Municipal Art Gallery (Pinacoteca Civica) "Francesco Podesti" is housed in the Palazzo Bosdari, reconstructed in 1558 – 1561 by Pellegrino Tibaldi. Works in the gallery include:
- Circumcision, Dormitio Virginis and Crowned Virgin, by Olivuccio di Ciccarello
- Madonna with Child, panel by Carlo Crivelli
- Gozzi Altarpiece by Titian
- Sacra Conversazione by Lorenzo Lotto
- Portrait of Francesco Arsilli by Sebastiano Del Piombo
- Circumcision by Orazio Gentileschi
- Immaculate Conception and St. Palazia by Guercino
- Four Saints in Ecstasis, Panorama of Ancona in the sixteenth century and Musician Angels by Andrea Lillio
Other artists present include Ciro Ferri and Arcangelo di Cola (flourished 1416–1429). Modern artists featured are Bartolini, Bucci, Campigli, Bruno Cassinari, Cucchi, Levi, Sassu, Orfeo Tamburi, Trubbiani, Francesco Podesti and others.
Angelo Messi, ancestor of famous football star Lionel Messi, emigrated from Ancona to Rosario, Argentina in the 1880s.
Ancona is also the city of the birth of Italian opera singer, Franco Corelli.
The Port has regular ferry links to the following cities with the following operators:
- Adria Ferries (Durrës)

This wedding right here? It's my everything. It's romantic meets gorgeous, rustic meets elegant and infused with so many beautiful cultural touches, it makes my heart pitter patter all over the place. In other words, it's the epitome of perfection, all set against a breathtaking LA River Center and Gardens backdrop with amazing images by Rad + In Love. See them all here.
From the Bride… Nima and I met while we were students at UC Berkeley and we were together for ten years before we got married. We wanted a truly personal wedding to celebrate our marriage and the special group of family and friends who were traveling from around the country to be with us on that day.
We chose the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens as the venue and we based the style of the day on the California mission style architecture and the beautiful courtyards and gardens on-site.
We're both Iranian-American and it was really important for us to find ways to incorporate some of our favorite traditions into the wedding. Also, half of my family is Muslim and the other half is Jewish, so we wanted to include aspects of each faith.
On the day of our wedding, everything came together so well.
For the ceremony, we decided to mix Persian, American, Muslim and Jewish traditions. Shahrzad Ardalan conducted a traditional Persian ceremony. Our long-time friend and pastor Cory Willson conducted the American ceremony, and we each chose a Jewish and Muslim blessing. It was incredibly special. Shahrzad and Cory managed to create a seamless ceremony and it meant a great deal to all of us.
For the reception, we really wanted everyone to have a great time. David Masrour's Persian food was amazing, people went back for seconds and thirds. DJ Omead from Dashing Events created a phenomenal mix of Persian and American music. We couldn't be happier with the photographs from Rad + In Love. And our day-of coordinator, Zenia McJimpson, did an amazing job of coordinating with our vendors and the friends and family who were helping out.
After dinner, my mother surprised all of us by introducing Rahim Shahriari, a famous singer and musician from West Azerbaijan, in Iran. He started singing and everyone — from our elderly grandparents to our college friends — got onto the dance floor.
Everything was perfect, we only wish the day could have lasted much longer.
