PROXYBUSTERS Part 1 - UltraSurf
In order to implement rules in every organization's internet access, filtering and censorship are properly defined by administrators to forbid access to non business related sites and download/ upload classified data. Computer users today use different ways to bypass the firewall for freedom to access knowledge whether good or bad. One of these is proxy servers that bypass restrictions, UltraSurf.
UltraSurf is a light executable application that is designed to find a way around internet filtering and censorship. It enables the users to access any websites freely using a regular Internet Explorer browser in the foreground while using the best speed proxy servers among three in the background.
UltraSurf does not need to install nor change any settings in the system that is why it is commonly used by ordinary users in doing extraordinary things. Almost all HTTP based functions are retained like:
1. Website browsing
2. Web mail
3. Data uploading and downloading
4. Real time apps
Here is one of the sites to download UltraSurf:
Word of advice! Only use this in a controlled environment to avoid any complications or infections.
How does a user access unauthorize sites in a flick of a finger? It is easy as counting 1, 2 and 3. Open the executable file and browse! Be sure that you are using the latest version 9.2 or newer one. Also check if the speed is 98% or faster to get maximum/ optimal use.
How do we mitigate this application? Could we detect and solve the Ultrasurf issue? We could get valuable information from our forums with the link below.
Here is some of the most valuable information contributed by our members in the forums. Thanks for their voluntary contibutions.
RickJDS says: " Its an anonymous proxy that the SEP firewall cannot stop. Apparantly it creates a local port 9996 on localhost and listens. I think it creates a tunnel out of port 443 so firewalls cant block it. Please tell me how to prevent this file from running with SEP MR4 MP2."
Cycletech says: " In my test lab I am running Ultrasurf, I am hitting IP address 184.108.40.206 through port 443. You can block all traffic to this IP address or an IP range. I know this won't keep the application from running, but it will stop all traffic from going through Ultrasurf."
Dperfekgent says: "Ultrasurf... Yes this executable file is used by clients to bypass policies in getting to non business related sites. They could be detected as bloodhound sonar using Truscan Proactive threat scan...Some tends to rename the file so that they could use it again... but could still be seen by the AV.Any help in blocking it would be very useful.
Paul Mapacpac says "I see, what if we request it to be treated as a virus and get its file signature so that It will not work. But this could lead a long discussion with Symantec.I just received a report from my officemate that sometimes it can be detected by SEP as Bloodhound.Sonar.1 but I guess this depends on the websites they visit.I if the environment has a proxy as long as the proxy is set to be transparent there could be a ways to block it. I currently testing it my colleges."
mon_raralio says: " If you open Ultrasurf, you have at least 3 options for which servers to use.An additional info: When using firefox with Ultrasurf, you need to configure a proxy as 127.0.0.1 (localhost) with port 443.The admins here tried blocking it, but some applications used for work also stopped functioning.
So far, we had not yet totally blocked the application but we could detect it through SEPM v11. We shall be waiting for Symantec to assist us in dealing with this application in the near future.

Cocoon are an English-language folk-pop duo from France whose full-length album debut in 2007 garnered critical acclaim and commercial success internationally. Formed in 2006 in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne, France, the band is primarily comprised of Mark Daumail (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, ukulele, banjo; born December 6, 1984) and Morgane Imbeaud (harmony vocals, keyboards; April 14, 1987). Their influences include classic folk-rock bands such as Pentangle and Fairport Convention as well as contemporary folk-pop acts such as Devendra Banhart and Sufjan Stevens. Cocoon made their recording debut in 2006 with an independently released EP, I Hate Birds, which was picked up for release on the well-regarded French indie label Sober & Gentle. The duo subsequently began working on its full-length debut album, My Friends All Died in a Plane Crash (2007), which was preceded by the release of an EP, From Panda Mountains (2007), featuring three new versions of songs previously released on I Hate Birds ("On My Way," "Tell Me," "I Don't Give a Shit"), one of which would become the lead single from My Friends All Died in a Plane Crash ("On My Way"). Not only was My Friends All Died in a Plane Crash critically acclaimed upon its release, it was also commercially successful, breaking into the Top 40 of the French albums chart and the Top 100 of the Belgian and Swiss albums charts. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Wait wait wait wait wait.
I'm Italian. Does this mean I am 'of color'?????
Huzzah! Imma go run around Harlem screaming 'N*gga, please' and see how well that works out for me!
Thanks to my cis, white male privilege, I think this thread is HILARIOUS.
But, my friends of color, how do you put up with this? HOW?
God, I love when it crosses over from awful to full-tilt bat-sh*t crazy!
I have friends involved with that show, newintown, so I'm excited to see them in it.
But I had the exact same reaction as you when I saw the announcement. That sure is a whole lotta white folks.
newintown said: "I suspect that RippedMan is not telling people of color to get out there and help themselves; it seems that he is telling white people to do more than just say that they care.
If that's the case, then I agree with him.
You're about *thisclose* to the 'Why the black people gotta be lazy and shiftless?? Why can't they help themselves???'
White people love nothing more than a black celebrity who now has a modicum of privilege telling other people of color that all you have to do is go out and make the change yourself! To get an idea of what POC are actually up against institutionally in this business, look no further than Matt Damon explaining to a b
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh this thread. Hilarity. And sadness. It's a steel magnolia!
I recently read Ta-Nehisi Coates' book Between the World and Me, and it's really shifted (and in some ways) clarified my thinking on race. I highly recommend it to every last person in this thread.
The one thing that I came away with is, it's fine to have my own opinions as a white-presenting man. But I don't act
Oooooh, doodle! Prettybelle! I absolutely adore 'To a Small Degree'.
Someone recently asked me what my favorite song was that I've ever performed, and I surprised him (and myself) when I said 'Serenade' from The Baker's Wife. It's such a heartbreaking quartet, and it's the first thing that comes into my mind when i think of my favorite moments on stage.
Um. No. I don't. But thanks for telling me how I feel.
As an audience member, I don't give a Shit. But as we're sitting here, talking about casting this show, I start to think about the choices I would personally make and how I would try to be mindful that any casting choices wouldn't send a message I wasn't intending (like the situation I described with Damn Yankees). As a cis, white man, I'd want to put thought into it were I invol
I don't disagree at all. I think any kind of casting can work for this. I just think it needs to be more 'thoughtful' than 'blind,' is what I guess I'm saying.
Well...I don't agree that this is the same as a Shakespeare production. One of the central conflicts is over slavery in the Colonies. So, I don't know how color 'blind' it will be. A decision will have to be made over what kind of message to send with Molasses to Rum to Slaves. There should be thought given to that decision.
A friend was cast as Young Joe in a college production of DAMN YANKEES. Old Joe was cast with a bl
I feel like such a white douche asking this question, but who are the actors of Native American descent that could find their way into this show?
And, of course, 'diversity' doesn't mean everybody gonna be black. How about:
Jose Llana for RutledgeStephen McKinley Henderson for FranklinGuillermo Diaz for Adams
If only Renee Elise Goldsberry and Phillipa Soo were available as Abigail and Martha, respectively. So how about Anika Noni Rose and Ashley Park? Or maybe Karen Olivo might make a beautiful Abigail. I'm very interested to see who gets cast!
Since someone already mentioned my most memorable moment (Natasha Richardson singing the title song from CABARET), I'll go with my runner-up. It was the second number in the first Broadway show I ever saw. From the blare of the opening trumpet to the stillness achieved by the dancers through most of the song to their bodies forming a slithering, amoebic-like unit, I was changed forever. That would be Big Spender from the '86 revival directed and choreographed by Bob
^ Well...sure. But there is a credited choreographer and those numbers have set choreography. It's not a lot, but it's there. I'd also argue that rent has choreography, particularly in Contact. I'd never call either of these dance musicals, but, as a musical actor who doesn't really do a lot of choreography, I couldn't do what those that little kid in Fun Home does...nor could I dance Contact in Rent. But the rest of newintown's list i
ONCE had a great deal of Tony-nominated choreography by Steven Hoggett. I mean...I guess you could argue that it's more 'musical staging' than 'dance', but I wouldn't agree with you on that.
Even Les Miz had a little bit of waltzing in the wedding scene.
Sunday in the Park With George has mostly musical staging and very little (if any) dance. I might make the same argument about Passion, but I may just be drawing a blank.
The Other One said: ""My White Knight" is more glorious, with a build to a higher note, but "Being In Love" reflects the thoughts of a more grown, mature, realistic Marian. I could see preferring either."
I was going to bring up Being In Love, but you said it so much better than I ever could. So, Imma just co-sign.
I don't know. If FLOWER DRUM SONG can be billed as a revival in spite of the fact of it having a new book by David Henry Hwang, I can see this being considered a revival as well.
It would kind of have to be. And to keep this on topic, we'll interpolate No One is Alone at the end.
I feel like we drunkenly made plans for that production some day. That poor Nick and Honey.

Punter might be Bruins' best player
LOS ANGELESOne of Aaron Perez's teammates was joking around the other day when he introduced the Bruins' punter as the "best player on our team."
That kind of talk about a punter might sound silly, but it also might not be far from the mark. The way the offense has looked so far in fall camp, Perez might be in the mix for most valuable player.
The Bruins have lost their two top quarterbacks to injury and their offensive line is riddled with concerns. A fourth-team All-American last year when he averaged 42.3 yards per kick and tied a school record with 91 punts, Perez has a chance to be among the top punters in the nation this season.
"That will be a huge weapon for us," Coach Rick Neuheisel said. "We say, 'When you punt you win.' It's a field-position game."
Perez said he tweaked his offseason workouts after a conversation with new special-teams coach Frank Gansz Jr. He worked to become a two-step punter and focused on hang time and directional punting.
"However many times we need to punt a game, that's what I'm here for," Perez said. "OK, so a couple of times we punted 9-10 times a game. You know what, if our offense needs it and I can help my defense out, then that's what I'm going to do.
"Unfortunately, that's not the record anybody wants."
Pretty soon, a Forcier could be leading three Pac-10 teams.
Redshirt freshman Chris Forcier is competing with Kevin Craft to start UCLA's opener against Tennessee, while his older brother Jason — a transfer from Michigan — is in the mix to start for Stanford.
Meanwhile, younger brother Tate Forcier is being heavily recruited going into his senior season at Scripps Ranch High in San Diego. According to Chris, two of Tate's final six possibilities are Pac-10 schools — Arizona State and Oregon.
"My parents are pretty heavily involved in football right now," Chris Forcier said.
For now, freshman Nick Crissman bides his time, trying to make the most of his few repetitions. The way UCLA's luck has gone with quarterbacks, however, the Edison High grad can't assume 2008 will be his redshirt season.
"If you based anything on last year, anything can happen at any time," Crissman said. "If you're not getting reps or whatever, you've just got to keep staying mentally in it. Somebody could go down at any time and you're in there."
Freshman tailback Derrick Coleman (Troy High) has a slightly torn meniscus in his right knee and might undergo arthroscopic surgery. …
According to a team spokesman, doctors successfully inserted a screw and completed a bone graft on Ben Olson's broken right foot Tuesday. He isn't expected to return for about eight weeks.

Coming Full Circle
Trip Start
Oct 30, 2012
Trip End
May 30, 2013
The final settling of everything. Storage items are stored. Travel bags are packed. House is finally clean (dust bunnies under the beds are gone and in the corner cupboards spotless). But goodbyes continue to be said...
These last 2 years have been such a small and unique chapter in our lives. So much has happened, it really feels like it should be much, much longer. Yet at the same time it feels as if it has gone in a flash.
Arriving on the train and emerging to see the beauty of the old town for the first time and shaking my head thinking: 'I'm living HERE!'. Changes into rushing around running errands, dodging tourists and not even noticing the architecture.
I remember searching out and starting a new job, not sure of anything. Now finishing my last day feeling like it's a 2nd home.
Nervous smiles passed on the street have turned into close friendships.
We moved into a furnished flat, but slowly acquired a few additional pieces to suit my style of cooking. Now over the last few weeks they have gone one by one and I'm back trying to cook without baking sheets or spices.
I've been busy planning out the use of all our food. At one point we had a 2nd freezer to keep all of our provisions, but now we're down to the last UFO (un-identified frozen object).
We've divided up our clothing into 3 distinct piles: going back to Canada, travel, bin/donate. Everything must be accounted for.
The sun broke through the other day and we went for a lovely autumn walk around the village and countryside. I remember the first time we took this walk together. We had been apart for 3 months while Brian was in Ratho and I stayed in Oakville to settle Visas and re-pack our belongings (which had only been unpacked 6 months earlier). He was so excited to take me to all the wonderful places around: the Pictish carved stones at the top of the hill, the climbing centre, the canal, Platt Hill, and of course, the Bridge Inn. Where I once looked with wide eyes of curiosity, I now glance with familiarity.
There is so much that we'll miss. You'd think that 2 people who have moved about as much as we have, wouldn't have such difficulty. I do enjoy new adventures, but endings are still a bit sad.
I must get motivated - we fly in less than 2 days! Here are a few inspirational quotes to kick me out of this emotional revelry:
"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." -Andre Gide
"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving" -- Albert Einstein
"Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change." –Jim Rohn
But yet, the one that seems to sum things up most right now must be said by Rabbie Burns:
"And fare thee weel, my only love.
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my love,
Though it were ten thousand mile."

LettersBatman BustDear Alibi, [Warning: spoiler alert] I thoroughly enjoyed 2005's Batman Begins. But I'm bewildered by the apparent love affair with Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. This new film is truly a Batman for the Bush/Cheney era. One minute our Caped Crusader is flying off to Hong Kong to perform extraordinary sedition, the next he's dropping a man off a high rise and breaking his ankles to interrogate him. How did this brutal, grisly, black-hearted piece of ugliness ever avoid an R rating for violence? I would consider it for an NC-17, yet parents are rushing their kids to see it like it's a summertime superhero lark. Some might think shoving a grenade into the mouth of a paralyzed man, pulling the pin and walking away is a great joke. Ha, ha. I didn't. Ditto our lead villain's penchant for sliding blades into people's cheeks while regaling them with sadistic fantasies. I would rather have been waterboarded than sit through this interminable horror's gratuitous final half hour. If director Nolan was going for dark, he succeeded beyond belief. Not even the considerable talents of Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman could shine a light into this abyss. The late, lamented Heath Ledger should have won Best Actor for his stunning work in 2005's Brokeback Mountain, but for The Dark Knight? Come on, now. Ledger's celebrated Joker is truly nothing more than a nasty, evil twin rehash of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice from 1988. Same physical mannerisms, same verbal mannerisms, very nearly the same makeup. In short, everything but the striped suit. An Oscar for this Joker? The joke is on us. Let's look forward instead to Ledger's final performance in Terry Gilliam's Doctor Parnassus next year. Ledger gets top billing over Johnny Depp in that one—he'd better be good. Um, Fido?Dear Alibi, [Re: Newscity, "On the Inside," July 24-30] Greta Roskom made three very important statements about students of jail-based charter schools: 1) "It's a full-fledged school with the same requirements of any other in Albuquerque." 2) "We're expecting them to be highly motivated, and we expect them to have perfect attendance." 3) "We expect our students to be respectful." Items 2 and 3 don't apply to public schools. The glaring differences are the carrots and sticks available to the jail system that public schools don't have. Inmates understand the consequence of not following the rules. They get to stay in their cells. Public school students don't understand the carrot-and-stick approach even though it's well understood by dogs. Fido sits up and he receives a treat. Fido makes a mess on the floor and he gets the stick. Researchers use the carrot and stick every day to study lab animal behavior. But this technique is absolutely useless on a human teenager. They don't understand that good education = good job; bad education = bad back. Unfortunately, the stick is outlawed. So what's the fix? We need students that are as smart as Fido. Health Care for AllDear Alibi, As an individual who has lived with the symptoms of bipolar disorder, I am asking for your help in passing the full mental health parity bill. An agreement was recently made on the terms for a final full mental health parity bill by the Senate and House negotiators. I have been fortunate to have had full insurance coverage for most of the years I had suffered with severe symptoms. I am now symptom-free with the right medications and the health maintenance tools I've learned to stay well. I am concerned for those who do not have insurance. For years, efforts to end discrimination in health care insurance coverage for mental illness have failed in Congress, despite having a bipartisan majority of supporters. Now with passage by both the House and Senate of separate mental health parity bills (H.R. 1424/ S. 558), we are literally at the door of ending this terrible discrimination. Parity makes sense and is affordable. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that providing mental health parity would increase health care costs by less than 1 percent. At least one in five Americans suffers from a mood disorder or other mental illness. These individuals should be afforded the same level of insurance coverage as those with a physical illness. Please do all that you can to work with your colleagues to pass the full mental health parity legislation this congressional session. A Deadly CityDear Alibi, [Re: Second Look, "A Deadly City," July 24-30] I've lived here nearly all my life and have watched APD ignore one crime after another. I live in the Northeast Heights, where it is supposed to be significantly safer. I still hear shootings; I see cars getting broken into; I hear about people getting robbed and drugs being sold. Where are the police? Probably busting people for minor traffic violations. I don't depend on police for my safety anymore as it has become apparent that they don't even care. If you want to protect yourself from crime in this city, buy yourself a gun and install some security cameras. I've visited many large cities including Seattle, Houston, Los Angeles, Portland, Phoenix, Vancouver and Salt Lake City. Excluding Los Angeles, Albuquerque is by far the most violent city I've seen. Then again, who knows? Maybe every big city is just as violent, but I doubt it. Letters should be sent with the writer's name, address and daytime phone number via e-mail to email@example.com. They can also be faxed to (505) 256-9651. Letters may be edited for length and clarity, and may be published in any medium; we regret that owing to the volume of correspondence we cannot reply to every letter. | Today's EventsFamily Fun Days at Bachechi Open SpaceDiscover Your Essence: An Introduction to The Academy of European Arts and Culture at The SourceMedicinal Plants and Changing Landscapes of Central New Mexico at Gutierrez-Hubbell HouseMore Recommended Events ›› | |

New York Philharmonic music director Alan Gilbert conducts this week's program that focuses on Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Opening the program is Musorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain. The 19th Century composition, inspired by Russian literary works, was made famous by Rimsky-Korsakov's edition of the piece.
Gilbert then leads Prokofiev's Concerto No. 3, one of Prokofiev's most famous pieces. Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade closes the program. The symphonic suite was based on a collection of folk tales known as the Arabian Nights. The vibrant and dazzling orchestration is considered Rimsky-Korsakov's best known work.
Program details:
Musorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain
Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 3
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade
Comments [2]
Hearing this program was a delight. The Rimsky-Korsakoff orchestration of "A Night on Bald Mountain" left me wanting nothing from the standpoints of articulation, phrasing and dymanics. The bell in D, as specified in the score, was employed at the end of the piece. I felt the same about the performance of the Prokofieff Piano Concerto No. 3. In the last movement (at "listesso tempo" the soloist's accent wasn't as marked as the that in the woodwinds in their repeat of the same phrase. This quibble, for those who favor hearing a stronger accent here, as I do. "Scherazade" showed the Orchestra at its best in the woodwind and brass solos in "Tale of the Kalendar Prince" and in the percussion, which shone even more in the "Festival at Bagdad" movement, especially the cymbals. Concertmaster Dicterow's solos were a joy to hear throughout; and my only quibble about the "Young Prince and the Young Princess" movement is the decision to play the woodwind solos' 32nd note runs in the Phrygian mode with a bit of rubato at the top notes rather than in strict tempo, which I happen to prefer. Those aside, this is another triumph for the Masters of the New York Philharmonic and Maestro Gilbert.
Bravo! You've just got to love Scheherazade, and the solowork on this performance was magnificent.

Strawberry and Cantaloupe Agua Fresca with Thyme Recipe
The result of blending strawberries and cantaloupe with a quick thyme simple syrup is a surprisingly complex and really refreshing alcohol-free drink. I opted not to strain this version of agua fresca because it blends up very smooth, but it's up to you if you want to strain the final result. Serve as-is for a concentrated, fruity drink or lighten it up by cutting it with a bit of sparkling water.

Hands-On: LG Optimus G Pro
Feb 25, 2013, 3:53 AM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
LG had its massive phablet on display at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Here's a quick look at LG's Galaxy Note II killer.
from LG
AD article continues below...
LG announced the Optimus G Pro earlier this month, but showed it off to the public at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week for the first time. To call it a Galaxy Note II clone is being kind. One side-by-side look at the G Pro and the Note II, and it is obvious where LG drew its inspiration.
The G Pro is a phablet with a 5.5-inch FHD display. It is enormous, just as the Note II, but it is thinner and lighter than its competitor. It is plastic through-and-though, with no metals weighing it down. The plastics are off decent quality, but I've definitely felt better. LG only had white versions of the phone on hand, and it is a big, white slab of a device that you simply can't miss.
The display is absolutely ridiculous. With 1920 x 1080 pixels in the IPS LCD screen, you're got one of the brightest, sharpest displays I've ever seen. It completely out-shown a Note II that I had with me. The pixel density is insane (more than 400 ppi), and everything I saw on the screen was razor sharp with no visible pixels anywhere.
There are three buttons below the display, just as with the Note II: back, home, menu. The back and menu keys are capacitive, and the home button is a real, physical button. All three worked well. The volume toggle is on the right side of the device and I found it easy to find and use. Travel and feedback was quite good. There's also a dedicated button for launching a TV remote app on the left edge. The screen lock button is opposite it on the right edge.
Overall, the materials are slightly disappointing. I'd happily trade a little bit of weight for higher-quality materials.
The user interface is the same one we've seen from other LG devices in recent months. Look at the Optimus G available from Sprint or AT&T, and you've got a pretty good idea of what sort of user interface themes and features are on board. This thing is powered by a quad-core processor at 1.7GHz each. To call it fast would be an understatement. It powered through everything I threw at it.
There's no word on whether or not this will come to the U.S., but given its high-end appeal, it wouldn't surprise us if it did.
No Stylus???

RAMAPO – The Rockland Boulders have consistently been at the top of the Can-Am League standings this season, often flip-flopping with the New Jersey Jackals for first place. It's no secret that a big reason for that has been Rockland's stellar pitching.
During a time in baseball where pitch counts are carefully tracked from Little League to the pros, Boulders right-hander Stephen Harrold has become an unlikely viable asset for manager Jamie Keefe.
The former San Francisco Giants farmhand has now thrown at least 115 pitches in each of his last three starts entering Thursday's game against the Jackals, despite spending the last four seasons as a relief pitcher.
The Boulders' skipper eased Harrold into the starting rotation this season, using him as a relief pitcher during the first few weeks. After five scoreless outings, Keefe and pitching coach Bobby M. Jones, a former starter and reliever in the major leagues, gave Harrold his first start.
"We didn't know exactly what was going to happen in the bullpen at the beginning of the year," Keefe said. "Basically, he was an extra closer if we needed it."
In his first start since college, Harrold held Trois-Rivieres scoreless through five innings. The Boulders won, but Harrold did not factor in the decision. Nine starts later, Harrold owns the league's top ERA at 1.79.
"I wouldn't necessarily say it's a 'rubber arm,' he's one of those guys that just takes care of himself and goes about his business," Keefe said of the UNC-Wilmington alum. "He's a professional and he knows what to do to get ready for the next start."

Something good did come out of January for the Penguins, who played most of the month without center Sidney Crosby (concussion) and the final weeks of it without center Evgeni Malkin (sinus infection).
That "something" is center Jordan Staal, who made his season debut in the Winter Classic on New Year's Day and has assumed No. 1 center duties for the past few weeks.
Admittedly, Staal said his game "is not quite there yet," adding that his conditioning "is pretty darn close."
The injuries to Crosby and Malkin were a blessing for Staal, who had spent only a couple of weeks practicing with teammates from mid-May to the day after Christmas. Three surgeries -- two to correct an infected foot, one to repair a broken hand -- forced Staal to recover and rehabilitate at the expense of training.
There was reason to believe his months before the Stanley Cup playoffs would be spent playing into form, but that luxury was absent with Crosby and Malkin out.

Diabetes Alert: Obesity, Inactivity, Poor Oral Health Increase Risk For The Disease
Mar 28, 2001, 00:00 ET from American Dental Hygienists' Association
CHICAGO, March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired by today's National Diabetes Alert, thousands of Americans will resolve to reduce their risk for diabetes by losing weight and increasing their physical activity however, thousands more are still unaware that neglecting their oral health can also promote the onset of the disease, according to recent research. "Dental hygienists want Americans to understand that neglecting oral infection such as gum disease and gingivitis may promote the onset of numerous life-threatening illnesses including heart disease, stroke and diabetes," said Karla Girts, BSDH, president of the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA). Last year, Surgeon General, David Satcher, MD, PhD, issued a comprehensive report confirming a connection between poor oral health and systemic diseases. According to Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General, poor oral health is most often characterized by gum disease, which affects 75 percent of adults. "Advanced gum disease, foamy saliva and dry and irritated tissue inside the mouth are all telltale signs that a patient may be suffering from diabetes," Girts explained. "Dental hygienists have consistently articulated a message warning Americans that chronic infections in the mouth are serious because they reflect what is going on in the rest of the body," Girts points out. However, it is only within the last two decades that the medical and scientific communities have improved their understanding of the etiology and distribution of oral diseases, strengthening this message put forth by oral health care professionals, Girts said. Today, physicians routinely consider a dual diagnosis of gum disease and diabetes as factors in patients who have trouble controlling their diabetes. In fact, a recent study concluded that diabetic patients who received treatment for their gum disease also showed a reduction in the need for insulin. Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States last year; the disease attributed to the deaths of 198,140 Americans, according to data gathered by the American Diabetes Association. ADHA is the largest national organization representing the professional interests of more than 100,000 dental hygienists nationwide. Dental hygienists are preventive oral health professionals, licensed in dental hygiene, who provide education, clinical and therapeutic services that support total health through the promotion of optimal oral health. For reliable quick-hitting information concerning oral health care, ADHA online at www.adha.org provides a snapshot of Americans' oral health care habits.

It represents more today for the UNLV football program than a replica of a 19th century Howitzer, more than a 550-pound trophy ever could, more than its $10,000 value.
That the Fremont Cannon will again be painted red is a testament to a team's fortitude, a symbol to its belief in a head coach and his unending conviction that he was indeed the best choice nearly four years ago to rebuild the Rebels.
It is, more than anything, additional proof that Bobby Hauck's vision just might ultimately prove the solution to making UNLV relevant within the college football landscape.
Or at least within the Mountain West.
"This is as true as I can say it," Hauck offered here Saturday evening. "This is for our fans and our kids. I'm relatively new here, although I'm starting to feel old. Our fans have hung with us and they are due to enjoy college football and have fun doing so. A year ago, we couldn't win two straight games, couldn't win close games, couldn't win our rivalry game … We just weren't quite ready."
They are now and proved it at Mackay Stadium, beating UNR 27-22 to end an eight-year losing streak in the state's rivalry game and moving UNLV to within one victory of bowl eligibility with four regular-season games left.
The victory formation had been assumed and the clock had run out and UNLV players basked in the emotion only such a win could create. Hauck and his players took their time returning to a raucous locker room, where the cannon awaited, stopping to greet and embrace and celebrate with UNLV fans.
In the background, a familiar chorus was still being sung by the UNR faithful, one that began before kickoff and continued following their team's defeat. "(Bleep) the Rebels! (Bleep) the Rebels!"
I wondered at first if they were saying the word "Love."
Probably not.
"We have been talking about this cannon for years," UNLV junior wide receiver Devante Davis said. "To get it this time, for our seniors in the locker room, for Coach Hauck, for all the coaches … To get that cannon, especially after you have been working so hard and that always being one of our goals, it feels great."
It is my wish, that on my death bed, hopefully a time that won't arrive as soon as many would likely prefer, that the one giving last rites looks to my loved ones and proclaims: "He's doubtful, but only to the degree Tim Cornett was against UNR in 2013."
I'm not saying Hauck is paranoid when releasing his team's injury report, but Richard Nixon just might be alive and well and updating the weekly status of those Rebels nursing bumps and bruises.
Cornett took that doubtful status and rushed 26 times for 122 yards and a touchdown. The program's all-time leading rusher appeared anything but gimpy and gave UNLV the ground game it needed to complement a superb performance from quarterback Caleb Herring (29 of 42 passing, 335 yards, three TDs).
It wasn't a perfect game, certainly wasn't pretty, wasn't all that exciting until the final 11 minutes or so. It was what we have come to define the Mountain West this season — two flawed teams playing hard and each hoping to be the one that could make the biggest plays.
The Rebels did on both sides of the ball and won, mostly because of this: Just two seasons removed from being defeated 37-0 here, from one of the more embarrassing losses in that eight-game losing streak full of them, UNLV is better than UNR.
Has better players. Has better coaching.
Has a red cannon to prove it.
"It's nice to finish with your offense on the field in a (victory formation)," Hauck said. "That's how it's supposed to be when you win a rivalry game. I love rivalry games. It puts a terrible strain on you, so it's a big relief when you're able to get it done.
"Our guys have made the choice to work and believe in what we are teaching and what we are trying to accomplish. When you believe in something before you see the results, that's called having character."
The cannon was to be transported to Las Vegas in the team's equipment truck, and the popular opinion is that it would receive a heavy coat of red paint on Monday. It's a trophy, the heaviest and most expensive in college football, its history dating to 1970 and the second meeting between the Rebels and Wolf Pack.
For today, however, it's a symbol of something more for UNLV.
The steps forward become more obvious with each win this season. Hauck's vision becomes clearer in its purpose.
The quest for six wins and bowl eligibility continues for the Rebels against visiting San Jose State on Saturday.
I'm guessing Cornett will be listed as questionable.

The Honors Community
- Title:
- Chair, statistical sciences and operations research.
- Specialty:
- Design of experiments, regression analysis and response surface methodology.
- Honors courses:
- Statistics 210 and University College 190.
D'Arcy Mays, Ph.D.
D'Arcy Mays, Ph.D., doesn't have to look far when searching for a way to inspire the students enrolled in Virginia Commonwealth University's Honors College.
"Pairing bright students who are motivated with other students who are bright and motivated allows the students to feed off of each other, learn from each other," said Mays, chair of statistical sciences and operations research.
His role begins with giving the students the tools they need to spark a discussion or embark on a unique project. The rest, he explained, they often take from there.
"Faculty can present an idea and then rely on the students to do a lot more for each other," Mays said. "It's a good opportunity to teach motivated students who are in the course primarily because they want to learn the material."
In his Statistics 210 honors lab, Mays asks the students to track and collect data on an aspect of their everyday life. Their ideas range from counting the number of times they use their cell phone to how many people are in the Starbucks line at a specific time each day.
"You can see they put creative thought into what they're going to do, which is the whole idea," Mays said.
Honors students spend more class time on such projects since they need less time to review basic math skills.
"It allows you to have more advanced discussions of the topic," said Mays, who also teaches an honors University College 190 course that provides students with an introduction to the university at an advanced level.
With requirements in place to attract the best students, Mays said he sees The Honors College making a difference at VCU.
"The Honors College is creating upper-level students who are competing for national and international awards," he said. "I think it's moving us in the right direction."
"Pairing bright students with other students who are bright and motivated allows them to feed off of and learn from each other."

I have installed and i can do a backup but i want it to copy it over our network to the server i have installed.
So to be complicated we have a hosted platform in the US with a VPN connection. On a way trust domain, linking to our office in england.
The software is in the office in England. If i install the client on the sql servers in hosting at local service its runs and a backup can be done locally. the compression rate is awesome. But then i if want to copy over network from hosting to england office it complains saying folder cannot be created.
So i reinstalled the backup agent with a service account on our hosting platform and now it says
Backup could not access [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Red Gate\\SQL Backup\\BackupSettingsGlobalEST] running as user [1495823-S12EST1].
and now no backups.
This software does not seem to work well in a multi domain environment. I have tried enabling SQL browsing doesn't work even after a refresh. Added domain account into registry and the service stops working. If i have no trust in place i.e. using SQL accounts only how does this software work?

I recently had a Concentric lift on my left breast and Silicone Implants (under the muscle). My main goal was to look good in a t-shirt without a bra. However, it's been 4 weeks and my right breast still hasn't fallen (I wear compression bra & strap & do massages), my nipples now face downwards where they used to face up, I was expecting to have "great" cleavage which I don't feel I have, and I feel my breasts are still very low on my body making me think I will need an actual "Lollipop" or "Anchor" lift after all?
Will I Need to Have a Second Lift for my Recent Breast Lift/augmentation?
Doctor Answers 5
At 4 weeks after surgery, it is much too early to evaluate the results of surgery and/or the potential need for further surgery to achieve your goals. I would suggest you wait until you are approximately 6 months out of surgery for this evaluation. You may find that as breast implants "settle", that the nipple/areola will appear to be higher on the breast mounds.
I would also suggest continued follow-up with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Hi there-
I'm very sorry you don't have the outcome you wanted...
Based on your story and the photos you've posted, it is my opinion that you may need a revision in order to achieve the outcome it sounds like you want, but I would wait until your healing period is complete before pursuing further intervention, understanding that time may produce the improvement (or approximation of the improvement) you are hoping for.
My suggestion is that you return to your surgeon and discuss your concerns with them- they will be in the best position to understand your anatomy, the details of your procedure, and the evolution of the outcome you should be able to expect.
Be sure you attend all scheduled appointments and follow all instructions carefully, as your compliance with these can significantly affect your outcome as well.
Good Luck!
(revised 4/13)

You should really give it a few months for the implants to fall into place. If after that time, the breasts still appear a bit low, then you probably will need some sort of a lift.
You might also like...
Based on your photos, it seems that there is a dimensional mismatch between your native breast and soft tissue and the implant you have. Possibly because of the need to use a fairly large and wide implant to produce the size and cleavage you wanted, there is a mismatch in the vertical diameter of the implant and the nipple position relative to it (i.e. too much implant showing above the nipple). This is what happens in many cases where a patient gets some of the characteristics she wants but also must accept some characteristics she doesn't. You will have to decide on what "imperfection" you are willing to live with, otherwise I fear you will get trapped in the cycle of chasing imperfections. For example, you can down-size the width of the implant that will place the nipple in better position relative to the implants but lose some of the cleavage you have gained.

Metro foreclosures dip
10/25/2013, 6 a.m.
Foreclosures are back to pre-recession levels in metro Atlanta, and filings in 2013 are down more than 50 percent from 2010 levels.
The Atlanta Regional Commission says that the metro region has returned to foreclosure levels it has not seen since 2006, and the drag on the region's economy appears to be easing.
In its October Regional Snapshot newsletter, the ARC said:
n Every county has fewer foreclosure filings in 2013 than in 2012 during the same period (through September).
n Gwinnett County still leads the region in the total number of foreclosure filings in 2013, but the number is more than 60 percent lower than 2010 levels.
n Metro Atlanta (28 counties) ranks seventh out of the 25 most populous metro areas in the percentage of mortgages that are considered "seriously delinquent" (those 90 days past due or already in the foreclosure inventory).
n Metro Atlanta also ranks seventh out of the top 25 metro areas for overall decline in serious delinquency rate between December of 2010 and March of 2013.
Regional Snapshot is a monthly publication of the ARC. For more information, visit http://news.atlantaregional.com/?p=1366#sthash.UkWkZfP0.dpuf.

Does Partisan Heritage Matter? The Case of the Federal Reserve
Received evidence suggests that changes in appointer- and overseer-preferences influence monetary policy (i.e., partisan heritage matters). Evidence presented here, on the other hand, is consistent with changes in the cost of pursuing a common preference influencing policy. I draw this evidence from a panel of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) votes and find support for the following conclusions: (1) Federal Reserve Board (FRB) governors who were nominated and confirmed by the same party (Republican or Democrat) prefer significantly looser policy than do other FOMC members. (2) Monetary policy is significantly looser when either party controls the oversight mechanism (i.e., the presidency and Senate) than when control is split. (3) Oversight acts less forcefully on district bank presidents than on FRB governors. In short, the present evidence suggests that political agents from both parties prefer loose money and pursue this preference more efficiently when their parties are aligned.

Comcast digital cable
I live in Brockton ma. and Comcast just switched over to all digital cable.For years I have been receiving all the local digital programs without a cable box.Last week when I lost some of the channels I did a channel scan with my Sony TV and got all the digital channels back.Two hours later the channels were analog and my TVs remote wouldn't change the channels.Comcasts free fix for the switch over is an analog cable box that looks horrible on my big screen TV.For $10.00 more a month I can get a digital cable box with a tuner that isn't as good as the Sonys.I have seen the picture it produces on other TVs.I filed a complaint with the BBB and I hope others will do the same.Verizon isn't available in Brockton and the only reason I am keeping Comcast is because my wife watches some of the cable only shows.My TV has two antenna inputs and I watch the local digital TV shows with an indoor antenna.Now I watch most of my TV shows with Netflix and Hulu with Playon a great product.Please file those complaints.I consider this a rate increase.

Cottonseed contains about 22% protein, and the cotton already produced worldwide has enough protein to meet the requirements of 500 million people. But it also contains the toxin gossypol, making it poisonous to animals, including humans.
Rathore and his colleagues achieved this – after what he says has been a 10-year race with teams in China and Australia – using RNA interference (RNAi) technology.
The team chose to target an enzyme that is critical in the production of gossypol. They constructed a genetic sequence that would only be active in cotton seeds and which contained a portion of the enzyme's gene, followed by the same sequence in reverse. They introduced their construct into cottonseed cells. There, it generated a strand of messenger RNA with two halves which stuck to each-other in a hair-pin shape.
In cells, this hairpin RNA gets chopped up into small bits by a "dicer enzyme" and, through a mechanism that is not completely understood, the small bits stick to the original enzyme's messenger RNA. This tags the RNA, labelling it for destruction by a cellular mechanism known as the RISC complex. The net result is that the production of gossypol in the modified cottonseeds is interrupted.
Other crops can be amde safe to eat, such as Lathyrus sativus, also knows as grass pea, chickling vetch, or Indian pea. This legume is an emergency crop which farmers in Asia and Africa plant in times of drought because it is resists the toughest growing conditions.
It will be ten years of safety checks and other processes before the cottonseed is on sale.

STP Percolation Program
written by
Harvey Gould,
Jan Tobochnik,
Wolfgang Christian, and
Anne Cox
The STP Percolation program generates occupied lattice sites with probability p and then determines the clusters of occupied sites. The purpose of this program is to demonstrate some of the important properties of percolation, especially near the geometrical phase transition. The default system is a square lattice of linear dimension L=128 and value of p=0.5927 at which the lattice is displayed.
STP Percolation is part of a suite of Open Source Physics programs that model aspects of Statistical and Thermal Physics (STP). The program is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the stp_Percolation.jar file will run the program if Java is installed on your computer. Additional programs can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, STP, or Statistical and Thermal Physics. Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java.
ComPADRE is beta testing Citation Styles!

in-Pharmatechnologist.com spoke with EMD Millipore's Vikas Gupta who said that single-use tech is having a dramatic impact on the pharma sector, particularly as it moves from the blockbuster model to a multi-drug, multi-site production paradigm.
He explained that in the last decade the application of single-use technology was primarily limited to buffer and media filtration and storage but in recent years it has begun to be used across all operations, from cell culture all the way to final fill/finish.
Gupta also discussed EMD Millipore's unique approach to disposing of single-use technology, explaining that the firm converts used production technologies into fuel for brick and cement manufacturing.

I know what you're wondering, and no, the Fairways Bar & Grille is not located on a golf course. Or even next to one. Instead, it sits adjacent to a carry-out at the corner of Central Avenue and Centennial Road in Sylvania Township.
The restaurant is near a few places where you can hit the links, however, and it embraces the theme fully. The walls are adorned with pictures of legendary holes from across the country, and the menu gets into the spirit by identifying "Fairway's Favorites" with a golf tee and replacing the sandwich section with "Sand Wedges."
This is a down-to-earth place that features a bar and an outdoor patio along with a reasonably priced meat-and-potatoes menu.
To get started, we teed off with onion rings ($4.99), which were large but underdone. The spinach artichoke dip ($6.99) was better, infused with an intriguingly warm, smooth, smoky cheese flavor that was not to everyone's taste but kept me coming back for more.
A wide variety of salads provide great value too. The Greek chicken salad ($8.99) arrived piled high with feta cheese, pita chips, black olives, large hunks of vegetables, and a mountain of grilled chicken breast that was a little intimidating. Even the smaller version without the chicken ($3.99) was enough for a meal.
The homemade baked French onion soup ($4.99) is a hole in one, even on a hot, humid day. It came in a crock filled with gobs of gooey cheese and a mix of delicious bread pieces that maintained just the right amount of crispness.The soup of the day during one visit, a chicken tortilla soup with a cheesy base, packed a delightful wallop.
The Fairways' sandwich menu sticks with traditional favorites like Reubens, BLTs, and fried bologna. While I couldn't distinguish the three cheeses in the "famous three-cheese grilled cheese" ($6.99), there was no missing the 10-ounces of beef in the ground sirloin burger ($7.99). (Others felt there was no missing its salty seasoning either, but I thought it was fine.) Each sandwich comes with a choice of sides, like fries or coleslaw, but the best of the bunch are the crunchy homemade chips.
For dinner, the offerings are solid without being spectacular. A 10-ounce New York strip steak ($16.99) was tender and well-flavored, especially where charred bits gave it an extra zing. Fried Lake Erie perch ($16.99) was nice and flaky.
Other options run the gamut. There are kabobs and walleye, smothered chicken and barbecue ribs. Each entree comes with a choice of potato (a meal unto itself), rice, or vegetable, and soup or salad.
There's a kids menu too, though most of the people we saw were of a much more mature age. Our servers were pleasant, but twice we had to wipe crumbs from our seats before sitting down, and service was sluggish.
The menu doesn't list anything for dessert, but ask what's available; it changes day-to-day. We passed up the cheesecake in favor of a brownie sundae with globs of whipped cream (our waitress said neither option was homemade) and found it to be like the Fairways Bar & Grille in general - not a bogey, not a birdie, but about par for the course.

Britishbratz: Lose control to Mikaela
Posted in Dirty Talk on November 26th, 2016 by bdsm-club_supportIt feels you with fear but it also turns you on like nothing else. When your high on horniness you can't help but steer your mind to blackmail, it's what you ache for and that feeling you crave. To totally lose control, to play with fire and to really put your life on the line.
You know its dangerous grounds, you know its something you shouldn't tempt but you always want what you can't/shouldn't have, right?
Your dick throbs at the thought of finally losing control to me, to feel powerless and constantly anxious but yet horny. You have wanted to feel this feeling for so long, to have your fate in my hands. Family life, work life. none of it comes in consideration when you have your eyes transfixed on my seductive curves. They lure you into a deep trap and there is no way out. I want to see you suffer, I want to leave you feeling constantly anxious. Knowing that your priority is my happiness from now on, you must keep up with my demands or face the very scary consequences of losing it ALL.

Botanical Name: Salvia officinalis
Country of Origin: Greece
Plant Part: Leaves & Twigs
Distillation Method: Steam
About the Oil
Also known as 'Dalmatian' and 'Garden' Sage, this is the common herbaceous aromatic plant found in semi-arid regions the world over. A member of the illustrious mint family, Sage typically reaches a meter in height with distinctly oval, fuzzy leaves and produces a large number of blueish violet blossoms. A native species to the Mediterranean, it is now predominantly cultivated in Albania, Turkey, Greece and Italy.
This pale yellow essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Sage plants organically grown in Greece.
Aromatherapy Notes
This Sage oil has a green, slightly spiced top note, a deep pine-like and herbaceous middle note and a warm, resinous, musty and earthy undertone.
It blends well with: Bergamot, Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Lemongrass, Pine and Rosemary c.t. cineol oils.
Traditional Uses
Sage was known at the 'sacred herb' by the ancient Romans; 'Salvia' being derived from the word 'salvation'. The dried herb is commonly used to smudge (clean the air) of spaces to move out old, negative, or stagnant energy.
Medically, it has been used for the treatment of oral and skin infections, improving mental clarity and memory retention, strengthening the immune system and taken as a tonic for supporting balanced metabolic function.
The energetics of sage are mainly drying and astringent. It is very effective for treating deficiencies of Qi. It is recommended for nervous exhaustion and as a tonic during convalescence.
In subtle aromatherapy, sage may aid meditations and visualizations focused on developing wisdom.
Therapeutic Properties Described In The Aromatherapy Literature
Anti-inflammatory, Antimicrobial, Anti-oxidant, Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Astringent, Antiviral, Expectorant, Emmenagogue, Febrifuge, Hypertensive, Insecticidal, Laxative, Stimulant (digestive, immune system) Stomachic, Tonic.
- Stimulating
- Counteracts the effects of mental fatigue
- Lifts feelings of despair
- Clarifies times of confusion
- Increases focus and attention span
Circulatory System
- Increases blood flow to extremities (head, hands and feet)
Digestive System
- Stimulates digestion
- Aids in elimination of toxins
- Supports healthy metabolism
Endocrine System
- Contains estrogen-like compounds that can balance hormonal cycles
- Balances menstrual flow (useful with amenorrhea and leucorrhea)
- Effective wound healing agent
- Reduces scarring
- Known skin regenerating properties (aids in hair growth and follicular health)
Application and Use
In all uses of this essential oil, keep the dilutions as low as possible; it is powerful and should be used with care. A concentration of 1% or less is sufficient to induce the medicinal benefits of Sage.
Clary Sage essential oil is substantially more mild and would serve where higher concentrations are required or desired.
- To prevent or heal scars, 0.5% (one-half of one percent) of Sage is prescribed in the complete blend: 0.1oz Sage and 0.1oz Helichrysum in 4oz Rosehip Seed and 81oz Hazelnut oil. 1ml is equal to 27 drops.
- To promote faster healing of wounds: add 3% Sage oil, 3% Helichrysum oil, plus additional Lavender to balance the aroma to a base of 20% Rosehip Seed Oil and 80% Hazelnut Oil.
Safety IMPORTANT: All Sage officinalis oil contains relatively high levels of thujone, a ketone that can be toxic when used frequently at high concentrations. Thujone is known to induce convulsions if used in too high a dose and should be avoided during pregnancy, with children or by individuals with a history of epilepsy or other seizures. The concentrated essential oil is recommended not to be used internally unless under medical supervision.

My husband and I came up with this recipe one day when I had a pork tenderloin and didn't know what to do with it. It was so good, we invited friends over for a sample the next weekend.
Spring-ish Recipes to Make In April
- 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 to 6 medium whole fresh mushrooms
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained, divided
- 1/2 cup corn-bread stuffing mix
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon sliced green onion
- Browning sauce, optional
- Dash ground nutmeg
- Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open tenderloin so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten with the flat side of a meat mallet or rolling pin to 1/4-in. thickness. Remove plastic and sprinkle meat with garlic powder; set aside.
- Separate caps from stems of three mushrooms; set caps aside. Chop stems and remaining mushrooms to measure 1/2 cup. In a bowl, combine chopped mushrooms, half the spinach, stuffing mix, 2 tablespoons cheese, butter and onion; mix well. Spread over tenderloin. Roll up, starting with a long edge. Secure with toothpicks.
- Place, seam side down, in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan; brush lightly with browning sauce if desired. Top with remaining spinach; sprinkle with nutmeg. Arrange mushroom caps around meat; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
- Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer inserted into meat layer reads 160°-170°. Cut into 1-in. slices. Yield: 4 servings.

With the wealth of beautiful weddings shared online, one can easily forget how private, personal and special that moment is. We're allowed to poke through the couple's pictures, comment on the most intimate details of the day and feel as if we were actually guests at the ceremony. Despite all of this apparent access to their big day, I still feel lucky each time someone chooses to share pieces of their wedding with anyone online. And today I feel incredibly honored to share this touching video of April Powell and Jeremy Crantek's elopement in San Francisco — not only because they chose to work with Studio Choo for their flowers, but because this video feels so genuine and personal that it's hard to watch without tearing up.
Shortly after April and Jeremy's engagement, they started to plan a small wedding in Tennessee. Within three months of planning, the wedding had quadrupled in size and budget because of outside pressures. Distressed about the progression of things, April and Jeremy looked at each other and said, "What are we doing?" After discussing how they envisioned marrying each other, they sent out an email with the subject title, "Reclaiming Our Wedding 2010."
After that, April says there was only one right way — just the two of them. So they flew to Los Angeles, rented a car, spent three days driving up Highway 1 and got married on a Monday in San Francisco. In planning, there were a few elements that were important to them: the flowers, the video (shot by Britt Simmons, to be shared with friends and family) and making sure to keep it simple. If anything stressed them out for over 20 minutes, they decided to just let it go.
On Monday they woke up, ordered room-service, drank mimosas, got dressed, jumped in a car, picked up the flowers (from the Studio Choo girls!), then the cake and were married by noon. As they exited the City Hall, Jeremy surprised April by hiring a guitarist to play their first dance on the sidewalk. Then they had lunch at a small bistro near Golden Gate Park and spent the day exploring. April explained, "By 6, we were back at our beautiful hotel suite ordering Indian food delivery. The day was full of romance and spontaneity, and all day, we were wrapped up in the simple ease of it all. Perfect." I couldn't imagine a more perfect day and I feel so lucky to have witnessed part of this in the video above. (And I love Rogue Wave's amazing rendition of Buddy Holly's "Everyday".) I hope everyone can experience this sort of feeling in their lives; it is so special and, for me, is the perfect way to bring this week to a close.
AC and I are heading into Manhattan for a weekend "stay-cation" to celebrate our seven-year (dating) anniversary, so I couldn't resist ending today on a sweet note. Thank you so much to April and Jeremy for sharing their day with us. Here's wishing you all a wonderful weekend and lots of love. xo, grace

I love this video. My brother and husband are both in the military so it was really hard to get them in the same state at the same time – much less with a year's notice. After over a year of engagement we still hadn't been able to set a date. Then my brother called home and said, "I'm going to Afghanistan in two weeks. I get 10 days at home and I'll be back tomorrow." So it was either wait another year or do it right then. We planned it in three days and did a quiet private ceremony with just our parents and my brother. I remember feeling like we'd missed out on something by not having the "whole sha-bang" but I think it ended up being the best thing we could have done. Congrats to these two! I hope you have a wonderful life together. :)
Wow! I am soo touched! I have to admit, that the thing that keeps me from consider marrying my very much adorable Deary is the horrible though of a big, unpersonal wedding that has nothing to do with our feelings for it… But I know that his family will blame it on me, when we would escape to get married and would probleby never forgive it. So we stay a happily unmarried couple! How brave to do the thing the 2 did! Please live happily ever after!
That was such a beautiful video. Nearly had me tearing up at my desk. Was a lovely bright ray of sunshine on this stormy day.
Thanks so much for sharing. x
i'm in a puddle of tears. So beautiful and inspiring. Thank you
This was so lovely.
that was just perfect…so natural and lovely… it is the start of a life lived to the most without an effort, just love! All you need is love!
Have a happy life!
…and thanks for sharing*** -
I wept at this! This was just so lovely. Oh goodness…here come the tears again!
This is refreshingly beautiful and shows what a fabulous result can be had from a bit of ingenuity and creativity! You may have started a new trend! Bravo … and yes, I shed a tear over this as well. Lovely and many, many congratulations!
Even as my marriage is ending, this restores my belief that true love is possible. There is purity and beauty in the simplicity of their ceremony – the purpose of the day rings true.
What a totally charming video, and beautifully shot and edited! I think it's a nice way to share a private experience with friends and family.
That said, this video is so freaky weird — has anyone noticed how much our lives are starting to look like movies? The close-ups, the colors, the camera movements … Cinema set up a whole bunch of formal strategies for turning real life into narratives, and now we're turning that back on ourselves. The 21st century is SO WEIRD!!
totally cried.
I feel lucky to have seen a glimpse of their beautiful day. What a lovely idea.
Truly beautiful :)
Thank you for sharing such intimate and most special time of all.. it took me back to our wedding day, that atmosphere, the heart racing, and that love in our eyes. Thank you and best wishes to you two:)
Naomi :) -
I really hate to even bring a word of negativity to their beautiful experience but I do want to share another point of view- I hope it's ok. We eloped 24 years ago and are still madly and dreamily in love, best thing I ever did was marrying that man but every anniversary I am sad that we didn't have a "proper" wedding. The planning was out of hand with mother and mother in law expectations but I wish we had just planned a less elaborate ceremony instead of abandoning the whole thing. Follow your hearts and be true to yourselves – my true self loves rituals and ceremonies and traditions and I should have realized that I really wanted a wedding day.
Many blessings to the happy couple, their day looked so romantic and fun!
so amazing! I love everything about this!
thank you so much for sharing this. i have watched it about 100 times since you posted it!
a bunch of my friends are starting to get married and its had me thinking about what i would want for myself if and when the time comes. this video tapped into my feelings about marriage and the tradition of weddings in that it really should be about the two people involved.
april and jeremy showed that you can have a truly amazing, unique and special day even without the pomp and circumstance.
love it.
My husband and I just got married about a month ago, although the wedding was small, it did seem a bit like a display. This was a truly WONDERFUL idea. very personal and intimate. I might do this if I had it to do over again.
This is so gorgeous, I've shared it with about everyone I know. Is there anywhere we can see still photos from their special day?
Wow, I just stumbled upon this in the archives and I'm blown away. Just look at their faces and body language…I see two genuine, kind, and really sweet people that are obviously really in love.
Isn't this what we all wish for? Someone to love us like this? April and Jeremy have it, and I wish them all the happiness in the world.
I have never commented on anything on this web page before and I am on all the time but I just had to say thank you for sharing this. I am planning a wedding at the moment and keeping things very simple. Seeing your video is refreshing and helps keep it in perspective with all the wedding media whirling around me it is nice to see there are others who feel who you are committing to is what it is all about. Also I just LOVED the street musician. I almost love it more then the wedding I am planning. Congrats and may the rest of your life be this lovely and simple.
This is the sweetest video ever. I'm linking to my Friday dance this week, which is all about elopement.
What a lovely video!!! I ADORE San Francisco City Hall Weddings. They are intimate, emotional and fun. SF City Hall is one of the best places to get married so not to consider it for the intimate wedding would be a miss. Unless planning a wine country wedding or a big event, this venue should be on everyone's list.
HOLY SOBBING HERE. so beautiful. yay for love.
i'm only now just viewing this and i admire them for letting go of the outside influences and going with their hearts and each other- tears indeed.
It's now 2012, I find myself still going back to see that special moment between two great friends. It what inspired both my partner of then ten years to do the same, following so many family pressures.
this video is so beautiful! i just saw a link to it via cup of jo. so lovely and intimate. that's the best kind of wedding, i think.
This was a truly WONDERFUL idea.
Love the music, and the way the story was captured!
