When I found out that "my brother in law" (aka my husbands best friend) was getting married, I jumped at the opportunity to document their wedding! Tony has been my husbands best friend since elementary school, my great friend for the last 11 years, the best man in our wedding, and an uncle to our sons. We couldn't be more happy for them! They are a great example of opposites attracting and complementing each other perfectly! Karina's soothing sweet personality balances out Tony's inner wild child! When Karina and Tony asked me to be a bridesmaid, I was completely blown away! What an honor to be included in such a huge moment in their lives! The pressure to give them a great experience from both the bridesmaid and photographer was on! :)
Karina had a sweet first look with her father!
Many thanks to my lovely talented friends, Maria & Jenna, for taking photos while I fulfilled my bridesmaid duties :) I couldn't have done it without you gals! Also a big thank you to the amazing team who made this wedding come to life...

Commenting on the Democratic debacle on election night 2002, James Carville remarked that the Democrats have to understand that people won't believe you'll fight for them if you won't fight for yourself. It's an insight that Howard Dean, at least, appears to have taken to heart. But is that posture enough to defeat George Bush in 2004? Probably not. It's not just their greater combativeness that has given Republicans an electoral edge. They have been much more adept than Democrats at articulating neat, clean positions and yoking them to a larger social vision that speaks to people's hopes and anxieties and that contrasts sharply with the worldviews attributed to their opponents.
Republicans are so bold, in fact, that it doesn't even matter that the policies they advance to embody those positions do exactly the opposite of what they claim–as in "No Child Left Behind" or Medicare reform to provide prescription drug relief or "middle-class tax cuts." They can count on the compelling nature of the larger vision they invoke, their disciplined insistence on their message, the reality that most people aren't policy wonks who will study the fine print, and the complicity of cable news networks to neutralize opposition.
A key part of this strategy is defining wedge issues that divide the electorate in ways that will deliver a voting majority. A good wedge issue works because it can fasten a broad constituency to an apparently simple program that resonates symbolically with widely shared concerns and notions of a properly ordered society.
For decades now, Democrats have generally confined their use of wedge issues in defense of the remnants of the New Deal social contract and the more recent advances of the civil rights and women's movements. Not since the Medicare debates of the mid-1960s have Democrats attempted to mobilize a national consensus around a new social right that applies to all Americans. It surely is more than a coincidence that during this same time period, the public image of the Democratic Party has shifted from the "party of the people" to the "party of special interests," the label devised by its opponents. It certainly doesn't help that the Democratic defense of those battered programs is often pro forma and concessionary.
Republicans have been so successful at this strategy that the term wedge issue naturally evokes their kind of divisive politics. However, building electoral majorities always boils down to distinguishing interests and mobilizing some against others. In fact, one reason the Democrats have lost so much ground to the GOP is their reluctance to draw sharp distinctions in the electorate, to press an us-versus-them agenda that mobilizes the large majority in support of humane public policy against the narrow interests of corporations and the rich. (Remember how Al Gore backed off in 2000 after Republicans whined that his one tepid populist speech was unfairly promoting class warfare?)
This campaign season offers a real wedge issue that has the potential to reverse this trend for any politician bold enough to see its significance: free higher education. Make every public institution of higher education free for all who meet the admissions standards. No means testing, no service or work requirements, no minimum or maximum ages. Just make it free for all.

Exeter's city centre will be undergoing redevelopment with the proposed renovation of Exeter's Guildhall shopping centre, construction plans of an Ikea superstore and the possibility of Asda acquiring sites within the city for construction.
The owner of the shopping centre, Aviva Investors, is planning the first significant investment in the centre since it opened in 1976, planning to attract national and local businesses to the centre. The plans aim to attract retail and restaurant outlets and include significant changes in appearence to the Guildhall's public areas.
Andrew McNeilly, centre manager, said: "People have been telling us they really like the plans and that it's overdue. They are really happy that the owners are spending money on the centre, which many locals hold quite dear. What we want to do is make that bond even stronger and hopefully give them more to enjoy".
City centre manager John Harvey said: "This significant investment is somewhat overdue and I hope the plans meet with the widespread support I would expect and that work can commence on turning them into reality as soon as possible".
Alongside the redevelopment of the shopping centre comes the news that Ikea has acquired a construction site for a Exeter store. An Ikea spokesperson stated the company was "delighted that Exeter City Centre has supported our outline planning application".
Gillian Drakeford, country manager for Ikea UK & Ireland, said: "We considered the various comments raised by local residents to ensure that our proposals met the needs of both Ikea and the surrounding community".
There are also talks of Asda opening a supermarket in Exeter in the site of the Royal Academy for Deaf Education on Topsham Road. The supermarket giant is hoping to capitalise on the school's reported wish to move to the proposed Hill Barton site, pending a planning application and an 18 month construction period.
Oliver Jones, property communications manager for Asda, said: "Asda has been interested in coming to Exeter for a long time. We frequently evaluate sites in the city and hope one day to be able to bring our famous low prices to the area. We've committed as a business to providing 5,000 jobs in the next year, and we're very keen to invest in the area".
A third year English student told Exeposé: "It's really exciting to see our University city being so extensively developed. An expanding university, with all the extra students this expansion entails, needs a thriving city centre and so this development is a welcome move. The addition of Asda, another cheap supermarket, will also surely help students to budget their purchasing of food and drink".

24 hours passed. Pall Mall, James and Trent Logan each spent that time pursuing their own leads in preparation for what they believed was to come. But they failed to anticipate one important wild card: McGreggor Alistersaurus. And the Demon City of New Calgary would never be the same.
Pall Mall arrived at the meeting point with his metzla demon and a new Valkyrie in tow, named Brigid. James arrived in the company of an Elf, while Trent arrived with Jescha. They used their radios to contact McGreggor, who was unaware of their meeting time and place, and directed him to join them. McGreggor showed up in a very makeshift suit of power armor, followed by a new friend he had just encountered from the Calgary Rift, named Steve (From the House of Gary).
The discussion of "what next" began anew, and the veracity of Trent's story regarding Athena and the Deevil Rift was questioned. Trent took exception to this and opened a Mystic Portal from the alley to the area he had seen. This allowed all present to see for themselves the portal, the Deevil threat amassing, and the goddess Athena single-handedly holding them off.
Pall Mall noted that Sonja had not yet returned from her visit to Dakkon Blackblade, and he was unable to contact her via the radio he had given her.
While they debated what to do now, McGreggor tested the portal "window" and discovered that it was more than just a view window – things could actually pass through it! He asked the group, "We're just trying to destroy those creatures?" to which the group confirmed that yes, that was indeed one of their goals. McGreggor then pulled out a makeshift explosive device and tossed it through the portal before anyone else who wished to stop him could react.
Fun fact: while Pall Mall, Trent, and James had each spent the last 24 hours travelling to other dimensions, contacting allies and working various leads, McGreggor had stayed in New Calgary and made some new friends. One of these new friends helped him convert some old power armor fusion power supplies into explosive devices, and it was one of those nuclear bombs that McGreggor so casually tossed into a portal that led to an underground location less than one-thousand feet away.
The explosion rocked the ground they were standing on, and because the underground tunnels helped to contain and shape it, the group had a few precious moments to yell at McGreggor in disbelief and prepare themselves. Trent opened a new Mystic Portal to one of his dimensional spaces, but only the Elf sought refuge there, wasting no time jumping into it. Everyone else took off running and flying, trying to outrun the molten liquification and collapse of the ground as the bomb's shockwave destroyed the very foundation of the city in this area.
Pall Mall was in the lead riding on top of his Metzla, his new Valkyrie friend following him. McGreggor's suit stopped working (due to the EMP from the blast) but the strange D-Bee was able to fly anyway with his harness, the over-sized hammer he took from the blacksmith's shop in his hands. The creature McGreggor had brought with him to the meeting site, named Steve, was flying under his own power via a set of giant wings. Trent closed his portal and he and Jescha took to the air via the Fly as the Eagle spell, leaving James still running on the increasingly unstable ground. Trent flew down to grab him and the three of them flew after the group.
The group escaped the blast radius and the chaos which was ensuing. Ruined buildings collapsed into the ground, and Demons of all kinds were heading towards the blast epicenter, armed for battle against the multitude of surviving Deevils. Everyone landed on a relatively stable rooftop outside the blase radius of the explosion. Pall Mall was angry and confronted McGreggor. The two started to fight but McGreggor was dropped to the ground with one strike from Pall Mall's whip of Agony. Before it could escalate any further Trent captured them in a Time Stop effect. James took advantage of the frozen moment to have his newly awakened sword, Apple, psionically calm them with Empathic Transmissions.
Now that everyone was calmed down they regrouped and decided on their next course of action. Steve, from the House of Gary, was lost in more ways than one, but having no better options he stuck with everyone for the time being. With their radios and other primitive electronics fried Pall Mall decided to use magic to Locate Sonja. His spell told him she was still at Dakkon Blackblade's office, where he had initially sent her. Pall Mall took off to get her. The group, still reeling over the current turn of events, followed him to help.
A strange psychic quake/reverberation was felt by nearly everyone as they traveled, and Jescha confided in Trent that something felt "wrong" about the ley lines. She became very nervous.
Dakkon Blackblade's office was a pile of rubble so Pall Mall began to summon a creature to excavate a way in. Instead Trent had Pall Mall indicate where Sonja was under the rubble, and then made a channel through the rubble with a Mystic Portal. The scene beneath the rubble that was revealed was that of a massive battle between Deevils and Demons! Pall Mall went in with Brigid to help Sonja get out. They quickly became overwhelmed and it devolved into a free-for-all for their lives.
A second psychic quake/reverberation was felt by everyone, and Jescha was getting increasingly worried that something really bad was going to happen any moment now. Trent opened up a portal to the same dimensional space he linked to earlier. He told everyone that something bad was about to happen, he didn't know what, but he felt it was prudent to take shelter in the safe place he made available. Everyone else went through the one-way portal, leaving just Trent and Jescha at the portal, with Pall Mall and his minions in the brawl.
Pall Mall was getting physically pummeled, but he used that distraction to order Brigid to grab Sonja and escape. They did so, meeting with Trent and Jescha up top. Trent tried to get them to escape with them to safety, but they would not leave Pall Mall behind. Trent convinced them to go back down and rescue their "boss." They did so and bought Pall Mall enough time to use a scroll of Teleport: Superior to teleport himself, the two Valkyries, and Sonja's sword which he happened to see laying on the floor. He had them all re-appear at the "fallback point" the group had decided on before entering New Calgary: the ruins outside of town, where The Deacon had left them.
Trent and Jescha entered the Dimensional space with the others and closed the portal, isolating them from whatever was building and about to release in New Calgary. They all discussed different options and decided to go back to the "fallback point," hoping that Pall Mall would meet them there. Trent opened a portal and they all went through, becoming witness to an unexpectedly grisly scene within the ruins. Pall Mall, bruised and battered, stood near the remains of the Valkyrie Brigid, who had been cleaved neatly in two and lay on the ground in a pool of her own blood. Most shocking though was a fuzzy, hazy item stuck in the ground nearby – Trent recognized this as the item he witnessed Baaz take back at the Xiticix hive. Without a moments hesitation Trent activated his talisman of Retro-Viewing, and witnessed for himself the events that occurred in the few minutes since he had last seen Pall Mall.
Pall Mall informed everyone that Baaz had pretended to be Sonja and attacked them once they arrived, killing Brigid. Baaz then left the item behind, saying it caused him too much trouble, and disappeared. Pall Mall tried to convince one of the others to pick up the weapon. Trent, having finished witnessing the events of the last few minutes, stopped them and instead used telekinesis to lift the weapon into a dimensional pocket for safe-keeping, until it could be returned to its rightful owner.
Before James had fled into Trent's dimensional space he had used Apple's psionic abilities to confirm that Athena was still alive! Now that they were all together, James was adamant that he needed to go back to the Deevil portal and help her. McGreggor and Steve both agreed to help him. Pall Mall knew that Sonja was still alive back at the wreckage of Dakkon Blackblade's office, and his goal was to go get her. Trent re-opened his portal to let everyone back into his dimensional space, so he could transport them to where they needed to go. While in there, Jescha reminded Trent that they should check on their mutual friends in the Enclave, due to the recent events which had transpired in New Calgary.
Eager to have everyone leave so Trent could be about his own business, he armed James with a techno-wizard shield he had been holding on to and gave the Chrysteel swords he picked up from the blacksmith's to Steve. Those three were then sent on their way. Pall Mall took the opportunity to have Trent investigate a tattered cloak which contained a dimensional pocket. Trent pulled everything out of it for Pall Mall. Pall Mall was insistent that Trent turn over the items back to him, which Trent did on the condition that Pall Mall would finally leave, which he did. Trent then went to visit his and Jescha's friends in the Enclave.
Pall Mall called Blood Stone to him and re-entered the battle-ravaged office remains. James, Steve and McGreggor entered what was now a massive Deevil and Demon battlefield, and fought their way to where Athena had been fighting. Once there they discovered her limp body laying on the ground, next to the body of Solomon Kane. Both bodies were picked up and they left, travelling back to the "fallback point" as quickly as they could through the raging battle. Pall Mall managed to get through to Sonja and found out that Dakkon Blackblade was in on the whole Deevil invasion plot! Blackblade knew all about the impending invasion and had intended to let it happen, so that he could have his minions repel it, making him the savior of the city and impress Lord Modius. Pall Mall was ready to leave now, except that he had lost control of Blood Stone for some reason. It took him several tries but he finally regained control, and they managed to escape.
At the Enclave, Trent caught up the others on what was going on and how he was involved. He dispelled their shock and disbelief by creating a portal to New Calgary, showing them firsthand the devistation. It was at this point he finally noticed the Calgary Rift was gone! He used his Retro-Viewing magic to watch what occurred in the moments after they all escaped into his dimensional space. He witnessed Athena get struck down and possibly killed by someone or something wielding a familiarly-blurred weapon. Then he noticed the ley-lines get swallowed up into the rift, followed by the rift collapsing in on itself before finally exploding, leveling the rest of the city in a way even McGreggor's nuclear explosives could not. The Enclave then revealed to Trent some secrets from his past they had just been made aware of, received from a mysterious party. Between the events of the day and this news, the Enclave decided to relocate and cut ties temporarily with Trent. He didn't blame them but made sure they had a way to contact him. He bit them farewell and opened a portal back to the "fallback point."
Trent arrived shortly after Pall Mall, James, McGreggor and Steve arrived. Standing in front of them was an assemblage of the gods, with major players and representatives from all the major pantheons. They addressed the group, spilling the beans about the Codex of Souls, its prediction for the newly-started Minion War to end all of existence, and Greatest Rune Weapons which they had been charged to safeguard but were now lost – the gods said they wouldn't even take the weapons back now, even if they were found, as they felt the weapons were no longer safe with them. They told the group about the wars being fought back in their own dimensions: All the pretender and false gods were assaulting their home worlds in a bloody battle that nobody was winning and had severely weakened all the gods. A moment of silence was held for Athena, the fallen goddess, who had toiled for over a month to prevent the start of the Minion War before being killed. Before the gods left they answered a couple questions but were able to give very little advice. As they faded out, back to their own dimensions, they resolved to leave the fate of the multiverse in the hands of beings other than themselves.

The closure was ordered for crews to perform bridge repair work.

Letterman Topples Conan, Earns Allegiance of Julia Roberts
This can't be good for NBC.
That was fast! After only seven days on the job, Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show suffered its very first ratings loss to their dreaded rivals over at CBS. In news that has to be concerning to NBC (not to mention music to Jay Leno's ears), The Late Show with David Letterman roundly trounced the Tonight Show in the overnight ratings (3.4 to 2.9), marking the first time Letterman has been able to claim victory in eight months. And while it would be silly to overinflate the importance of a single night's results in what both sides acknowledge to be a long-term race, last night's episode of Letterman did include one moment which seems to suggest some A-List celebrities are indeed gravitating towards Team Letterman.
As anyone who's been watching David Letterman for a long time would attest, it's always fun to watch him flirt with leggy supermodels and A-List actresses, especially when they casually flirt back. To wit, there has always been strong chemistry between Letterman and Julia Roberts, who just happened to be Dave's lead guest last night. Despite the fact that the two of them have established a strong on-camera relationship over a number of years, we will admit that it surprised us when Julia took an opportunity to get an unprovoked sideways shot in at Conan last night. As the two were talking and Dave did one of his patented ad-libs, Julia jumped in to add that "You are so much funnier than other people who talk at this time of the evening." Wow!

Beating the street looking for a job in journalism is not a pleasant thought these days.
As the firing of editors at places like the LA Times over newsroom staff cuts demonstrates, out-of-work journalists are totally divorced from the decision making that affects their lives. This is because the big decisions in this industry are being made by corporate management types whose primary goal in life is a seven figure bonus.
These titans of industry are not just in the media companies; they are also in advertising and marketing. That the opinions of a few carry such weight is simply a distortion caused by over-consolidation of the traditional media.
Still, this is not a battle of nefarious forces of good and evil but rather a clear cut business reality based on an expanding supply of advertising opportunities that are proving both intriguing and competitive to advertisers.
Advertising as an industry has changed from a very competitive field where the majority of expenditures were in the mainstream media to one infinitely more varied and increasingly hyper-competitive. Always a supply and demand game, today, options and alternatives abound.
Ad spending on alternative media, including user-generated Web content, Internet search, mobile, gaming and branded entertainment, this year is on pace to jump 20.2% to $88.2 billion, even if there is a recession, according to a PQ Media report published by Mediaweek magazine March 26. Overall ad spending is up just .02 percent for the year according to a report in the same magazine a day earlier.
In this kind of environment, selling is the challenge. That those pitching alternatives that don't include news means they are simply being rewarded for their creativity.
The problem with newspapers is not so much that sales are declining but rather that readership is declining. One also cannot ignore that the price newspapers charge for their advertising is at historical highs. This further erodes the industry's competitive position on any supply and demand chart. Combine that with plain physics – it costs a ton of money in an energy-limited future to move all those tons of paper around daily – and the cost side of newspaper publishing is just going to get worse and margins tighter.
Yes, eyeballs are going to the Net and the Net, because of the ability to let a user sift through haystacks of information for that needle of information they seek, is making it 'the medium of choice' in ad-cluttered 21st Century America. None of this should be news to the folks reading this.
But let's not roll over like a puppy dog and pad the air in abject awe. The Internet is just a medium, which means it is nothing more than a new way to distribute that highly spoil-able but innately valuable commodity: news.
The real question in this new media environment is whether the large, lumbering corporate structure can adapt the fast-moving Net or whether leaner, more entrepreneurial efforts will emerge to meet those needs.
I'll leave it to others to opine on the likelihood of who will have the most success among the major players. Rather, I suggest the "new" business model we should be actively encouraging is actually a rather old one. That model is that of the locally owned and operated newspaper.
I first became aware of this business model when I was a young sprout growing up in a small Mississippi River town just north of Memphis.
Yep, it was the 1963 and Phillip "Moon" Mullins, who along with his older brother owned the weekly in Oxford, Mississippi. Mullins had to leave that 'University town" because he was ahead of that state (and his advertisers) on the issue of race. Rather than shut up or even abandon the industry, he sold the Oxford newspaper and bought the Osceola (AR) Times. In Osceola he found a progressive community with enough support from the local merchants to continue his crusade for positive race relations and frankly helped transform and lead that small town to a brighter future.
From a young teens viewpoint, it was obvious that Mullins was opinionated and that everyone knew him and knew that he owned the paper. He was a big fish and that was his new pond. It was at that time that I decided I wanted to be a publisher.
Mullins was a publisher because that was what he wanted to be. I can hear the collective sighs but before you go harrumph, the more important point is that communities need publishers to push, prod and help shape the future. Communities need that big fish and opinionated guy who is accessible and, in the context of the community, as powerful as he was independent.
With the consolidation of media including weekly newspapers and local radio, that local leadership role no longer exists. Corporate types don't cut the mustard because, with obvious exceptions, as a rule they lack the essential commitment to the communities they earn a salary to serve.
The recreation of this role is an opportunity offered by this new media. Barriers to entry are low, server software such as Drupal is available for free and no community can afford to send all its advertising money to NYC or Silicon Valley. The new media, because of its low barriers to entry, creates that opportunity.
Will this model work for Chicago or New York? Richard Anderson of Village Soup, Geoff Dougherty of the Chi-Town Daily News and Gail Robinson of the Gotham Gazette are three newschallenge winners whom I suspect not only share, but are, like me, actively working to realize that dream in one way or another.
We can intellectualize about the business models and plot exit strategies and even calculate risks until the sun sets a thousand times but the plain fact is the new media (in all its interactive, audio-video-text glory) gives communities is the opportunity to reclaim their own independent voice. All it takes is for those who have guts and gumption to just step forward and do it.

Paloma Faith, the British chanteuse who wrote one of her biggest songs after falling in love with a busker singing Tracy Chapman tracks, has arrived in the States.
Faith is already a staple among American Anglophiles (perhaps she's even replacing Alex Turner on iPhone lock-screens), but for those who have yet to acquaint themselves with Faith, a quick rapsheet: She ran with the Olympic torch in red stilletos, mentored contestants on Britain's "The Voice," crooned on every major television show (from Jools Holland to Graham Norton), released an album that's still charting in the top five on U.K. charts and received the ever-elusive stamp of approval from Prince (the man who kicked Kim Kardashian off his stage).
But the trip across the pond is always difficult. One Direction notwithstanding, a host of extremely successful Britpop and rock stars have tried to make it in America and failed. Cheryl Cole, a judge on the U.K. "X-Factor" who has earned first-name status in many circles, decided to neither tour nor release her album in the States.
But Faith's not so scared. "I've had quite a lot of preparation, just naturally by default in that I've had one record out already, which didn't come out over there," she told HuffPost Entertainment. "I've almost had the luxury of being able to experience what it would be like on a small scale and I've been able to make a lot of mistakes and not be under an international world microscope at the time that I made them."
The singer has already performed in America, most recently at Joe's Pub in New York. She's touring in support of Fall to Grace, on which her performance has been described as "singing the bejesus out of these big, open-hearted tunes."
Faith rightly bristles at the suggestion that Adele opened the American market for British singers. "I think she's an incredible talent, but what paved the way for British artists was Amy Winehouse's Back to Black," she said. "I'm wholeheartedly sure that that was what opened America up to start listening for British voices."
And it's Winehouse -- not Adele or any boldface name from a previous invasion -- that most directly foreshadowed Faith's career. From the wide, lush sound to the sensual, anachronistic style (Faith says she's excited to visit vintage shops in the States), Winehouse's landing in America reintroduced pop audiences to jazz. The hooks on both Winehouse and Faith's songs are restrained when set against Adele's ever-reaching soars. The imagery is also less opaque: Faith's "30 Minute Love Affair," the song about the busker, is journalistic when compared to "Rolling in the Deep."
So if Adele's heartbreak can make anyone cry, Faith is more more interested in bringing the story of her life to your ears. "I was constantly talking to everybody about the fact that I wanted to make a body of work in entirety that had a beginning, middle, and end and has a story to it," Faith said. "Because I'm a film addict. What I essentially said to my producer was that I wanted to create a soundtrack to a film of my life sort of thing over that last year."
But if Winehouse set the path over half a decade ago (Back to Black came out in 2006), why is it still so challenging for British artists? "Maybe it's the first time that British record labels are actually having success without trying to emulate what's happening in the American market," Faith said. "I think that they just started to do their own thing. Some of them were brave enough to take a risk on it and it has worked. I think there is so much soul in the U.K. and, I don't know, it's showing that to the world."
Luckily, Faith has an anthem for her show-and-tell trip. "New York" -- off 2009's Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? -- can be dusted off to fit nicely into her new narrative. On the absolutely vintage sounding song, Faith laments that her lover has left for a new mistress, America's cultural capital itself.
Fall to Grace is out in the States in November. Faith plays Washington D.C. on Sept. 13, followed by Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Crystal Bell also contributed reporting to this piece.

Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store.
She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.
She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food.
John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once.
Visualizing the family needs, she said: 'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.'
John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store..
Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'
Louise replied, 'Yes sir.' 'O.K' he said, 'put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries..'
Louise hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.
The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down.
The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'
The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more.
The grocer stood there in utter disgust.. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.
It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:
'Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.'
The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence.
Louise thanked him and left the store…. The other customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said; 'It was worth every penny of it. Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs..'
THE POWER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do.
Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own good fortune. Then please send this to all your friends and relatives.

Don't Craft Yourself Into A Hole
Case in point: On my server people have started to catch on to the Bag Market so bags have been cut down to 8g per. Ok so I can still sell them at 8g for a profit since I buy stacks at 6g or less, but as the market for bags has dropped the price the cloth market has skyrocketed. I am selling those unbolted stacks for 15g each, well beyong what a bag even sells for, and I am also selling bolts of netherweave in stacks of 4 for 12g each. So i am playing all 3 markets at the moment, turning 6g into 8, 12, and 15g all three. If I had burnt all my mats and stored just a bunch of bags, I would be stuck selling for lower than I know I can get for these bags, As i always sell out at 10-12g and rape at up to 25g per sometimes, when the time is ripe.

Lady Gaga, pop star extraordinaire, worldwide phenomenon and professional weirdo, has now outraged both sides of the political aisle by wearing a machine-gun bra on stage at her concert in Vancouver. She wore two plastic assault rifles, one attached to each cup. After the Sandy Hook massacre, her act may finally be seen as offensive.
This was part of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" tour. When Lady Gaga says she was "born this way" and puts on the insulting and ludicrous attachments to her body, one wonders who is the person underneath the outfit.
Is it the person who once said, "All that ever holds somebody back, I think, is fear. For a minute I had fear. [Then] I went into the [dressing] room and shot my fear in the face …"
Or the one who said, "I want women — and men — to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish."
Or the oddball who said this: "A girl's got to use what she's given and I'm not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does. So I take it to extremes. I don't say I dress sexily on stage – what I do is so extreme. It's meant to make guys think: 'I don't know if this is sexy or just weird."
It's not sexy. It may be weird. But above all, Lady Gaga, as Madonna before her, is in the business of shocking people with no thought of whom she may offend.
At what point does the public get fed up with these attention-grabbing actions and reject the purveyors?

I didn't want to upset her more than she was already. She was angry and frustrated and needed an explanation. It wasn't the first time her paycheck was late, but this was the holiday season.
It was my first Christmas there and an honest mistake. I hadn't been in charge of her timesheet initially; when it was handed to me, the due date had already passed. I didn't want to pass judgment or pass blame, but there was also the most important issue: she hadn't submitted it on time. And this wasn't the first time.
Now it was New Year's and she didn't have any money; she needed someone to blame.
You are part of the problem.
And sometimes it is your fault.
It's what I say to myself when things don't work out the way I hope, or when they don't work out in my favor. I have a good support system. When I get too big for my britches, they let me know. Sometimes it takes years for me to see it clearly, sometimes mere seconds.
When I was in law school there was only one other black person in my section: 2 total out of 76 or so. I'd been used to being a minority so it didn't faze me much, but for some reason this felt different. It just seemed more significant. Unbalanced.
We had 3 of our 4 classes with the same 76, and for 2 of the 3 the same guy sat next to me. At first it was a nice relief. I'm introverted and it would mean less repetitive chit-chat.
In Crim Law he explained the history of the L.A. riots when some of our classmates inappropriately joked about the elements of the crime.
Both of his parents were special education teachers, and he'd attended an all black high school. He was comfortable around black people, but curious. If I changed my hair, he wanted to touch it. If he didn't understand something he'd read on urban dictionary, he wanted me to explain it. For his birthday I got him The Last Dragon, and he was so excited he talked about it all year.
He won the MLK scholarship in law school that January and did a solo dance to Raspberry Beret at the birthday party. I missed it, but everyone had stories to tell.
A group of us went out for Halloween. I wore all black and slapped on a name badge that said "sheep." I called myself clever, but he said it was the laziest costume he'd ever seen.
We'd all commuted separately to the bar, but split off in groups for round two of the party. I hadn't noticed that we were partnered up, or noticed the whispers as the two of us walked to the party together.
He came to my birthday party that summer. There was a crowd of church people, some friends from work, and him. When he hugged me goodbye he rested his hands at the small of my back, and I realized (without acknowledging) that we had wanted to be together.
It wasn't a relationship I could entertain. I was struggling, failing out of law school, and ashamed. I wouldn't (couldn't) ask this young, white man for help. I couldn't find him attractive. I certainly couldn't date him. I'd never been with anyone before. My first boyfriend couldn't be, wouldn't be, white.
You are part of the problem.
Sometimes it's because you just don't want to do it. Sometimes it's because you don't know how and lack the desire to learn. Sometimes it's because you're not sure if the outcome would be in your favor, and you want to be sure. Sometimes it's because you're too tired, or too angry, or too hungry (happens to me all the time) to care more.
Sometimes it's because you're ashamed of how you feel, and you don't want to have to explain.
You are part of the problem.
It's what I tell myself when my bias creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's what I tell myself when I'm not willing to put forth the effort to figure it out: when the rut and the barrel are mine.
You are part of the problem. It's become my mantra. A reminder that if I can do nothing else or give nothing else, I must at least be willing to consider that this outcome, this mess, this rut, was mine. I am (at least partially) responsible. Sometimes it is your fault.
When have you been part of the problem? When have you gotten in your own way?

Hennessey Carlbom spent the first ten years of her life living on White Earth and Red Lake Indian Reservations. The youngest of five children, Hennessey had moved to Minneapolis with her family by the age of 13, when a terrible accident left her older brother Jordan dead, and Hennessey stricken with grief. Her pain multiplied when several months later, Jordan's newly born son–and Hennessey's nephew–passed away, too. The heartache over her family's tragic losses was too much to bear and took its toll on young Hennessey. She stopped going to school and ran away from home. The following year, she was expelled from school for fighting
Despite the challenges Hennessey faced in middle school, there would soon be light on the horizon. As high school rolled around, Hennessey came to realize that she had choices, and it was time to choose herself, and in turn, her education.
At Takoda Prep, Hennessey says she got back on track. She enrolled in the Additional Studies Program and began to make good grades. Soon, the young woman who had given up on academics to the point that she was skipping school was consistently receiving the quarterly attendance award. Teachers, such as her nominator, Thomas Lonetti, came to admire her ability as a student, not just her knowledge and contribution to classroom discussion, but "her passion for knowledge, a yearning to want to learn..." Hennessey says that as she strives for success in school and in life, she relies on the support of two important people: her mom, and her best friend and classmate, Leann. Her mother pushes her to do her best, and Leann, with whom Hennessey shares similar experiences and struggles, is the positive, encouraging voice that lifts her up when life feels heavy.
Hennessey can't wait for her family to watch her achieve success. She plans to go to college in Minnesota and will pursue a career in law enforcement with the goal of becoming an FBI agent. Her nominator has already decided that "Hennessey will succeed in whatever she chooses to pursue." She has already proven that she has what it takes.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.

Just another PC reaction to nothing. Before you jump to conclusions about NC being prejudice against the gay lesbian transgender community you should read the actual bill and not the commentary from media talking heads. This is a common sense bill that offers more protection not less to all people and especially children in public restrooms, locker rooms, etc.
Your 2nd paragraph states a very bias view as fact. I assume this is your conclusion? Your 1st paragraph did not state it as fact. Looks like you agree. There are 2 sides and it appears you have chosen to agree with the bank.

The young man leaned against the side at the window, his arms folded, his back to the room. Outside, the varied life of the Post went forward under his eyes. He even noted with a surface interest the fact that out across the river a loon was floating, and remarked that never before had he seen one of those birds so far north. Galen Albret struck the table with the flat of his hand.
"Done!" he cried. "This is the last chance I shall give you. Speak at this instant or accept the consequences!"
Ned Trent turned sharply, as though breaking a thread that bound him to the distant prospect beyond the window. For an instant he stared enigmatically at his opponent. Then in the sweetest tones,
"Oh, go to the devil!" said he, and began to walk deliberately toward the older man.
There lay between the window and the head of the table perhaps a dozen ordinary Steps, for the room was large. The young man took them slowly, his eyes fixed with burning intensity on the seated figure, the muscles of his locomotion contracting and relaxing with the smooth, stealthy continuity of a cat. Galen Albret again laid hand on his revolver.
"Come no nearer," he commanded.
Me-en-gan left the door and glided along the wall. But the table intervened between him and the Free Trader.
The latter paid no attention to the Factor's command. Galen Albret suddenly raised his weapon from the table.
"Stop, or I'll fire!" he cried, sharply.
"I mean just that." said Ned Trent between his clenched teeth.
But ten feet separated the two men. Galen Albret levelled the revolver. Ned Trent, watchful, prepared to spring. Me-en-gan, near the foot of the table, gathered himself for attack.
Then suddenly the Free Trader relaxed his muscles, straightened his back, and returned deliberately to the window. Facing about in astonishment to discover the reason for this sudden change of decision, the other two men looked into the face of Virginia Albret, standing in the doorway of the other room.
"Father!" she cried.
"You must go back," said Ned Trent speaking clearly and collectedly, in the hope of imposing his will on her obvious excitement. "This is not an affair in which you should interfere. Galen Albret, send her away."
The Factor had turned squarely in his heavy arm-chair to regard the girl, a frown on his brows.
"Virginia," he commanded, in deliberate, stern tones of authority, "leave the room. You have nothing to do with this case, and I do not desire your interference."
Virginia stepped bravely beyond the portals, and stopped. Her fingers were nervously interlocked, her lip trembled, in her cheeks the color came and went, but her eyes met her father's, unfaltering.
"I have more to do with it than you think." she replied.
Instantly Ned Trent was at the table. "I really think this has gone far enough," he interposed. "We have had our interview and come to a decision. Miss Albret must not be permitted to exaggerate a slight sentiment of pity into an interest in my affairs. If she knew that such a demonstration only made it worse for me I am sure she would say no more." He looked at her appealingly across the Factor's shoulder.

Seven has historically been a lucky number, and if Apple is lucky, iOS 7 will be the driver that helps them regain marketshare lost to Android. New features include Control Center, improved multitasking, a gyroscopic background that allows users to rotate the phone to see more of the wallpaper, AirDrop (a feature similar to S Beam and Android Beam), iTunes Radio, Siri enhancements, and more. On top of the improvements, the overall look and feel has been overhauled and features a more minimalistic look and feel. What remains to be seen, however, is if it'll help Apple regain their dominance in the smartphone space.

If you have just moved into a new home or are planning a major garden facelift, spend time getting to know the site before designing the paved areas. For example, which parts of the garden are sheltered from the elements and overlooking properties? Where does the sun fall through the day? Is there a slope?
Planning The Patio
The next stage is to draw up a plan of the garden on graph paper, with trees, shrubs, walls and other fixed features shown. You don't have to be too exact but an accurate plan of a large project like a patio is the best way of estimating how much material you need, so it's time well spent.
Paving Types
Paving has come a long way in the last ten years and there are now styles to suit anything from a cottage garden to a formal town lay-out. Remember too that flagstones can be expensive and a hard-wearing lawn or shingle is a cheap way of filling areas of a new site for the short term - you can always replace these areas with more exciting options at a later stage.
Remember to include some sort of paving to storage sheds, even if it is just stepping stones. Otherwise, grass will soon become mud in the wetter months.
Plan for features you may want to add later. So if you are considering a built-in barbecue, pond or planters, leave a space in whole pavers or slabs so you don't have too much upheaval when these are added.
Break up large areas of slabs with straight runs of bricks or leave out random slabs and fill with shingle to add interest.
Before actually starting any work, make sure you check that there are no services
i.e. pipes, cables etc. buried in the area.
The patio will need to have a gentle slope away from the house (1:40 for most circumstances) so that rainwater does not pool on it. For large patios, you should also have a cross fall of 1:80 to improve water run-off. Use a straight timber batten and sprit level resting on the pegs to get the level.
A useful tip here is to work out what the fall should be between the pegs concerned and then place an appropriately sized offcut of wood on top of the peg. When the batten between pegs is level, this offcut has then accounted for the necessary fall.
By measuring down from the top of the pegs, you can establish how much soil to dig away - enough for slab thickness plus the various layers of the base. String lines connecting the pegs will assist with this.
For light use, trowel five generous dabs of mortar on to the base and lay the first slab in place. Tap the surface of the slab with a rubber mallet or with the end of a club hammer and check with a spirit level in both directions remembering to allow for the fall. This is where the string between pegs really helps since you can use it as a guide.
For heavier use, the slabs should be laid on a continuous bed of mortar, 50mm thick, rather than dabs. This way, the slab is fully supported and will be less likely to crack.
You can also lay paving directly onto the sand. This will need to be carefully levelled to support the slabs fully. By putting battens at intervals in the sand, with their tops at the appropriate level, use a straight edge to level the sand between them by drawing it along the battens. Remember to remove the battens and back fill the groove with sand before paving over as the battens will rot if left in place.
Lay the next slab. Some paving can be butted together but there will usually be a 5-10mm joint. Cut pieces of hardboard to use as small spacers and wedge them between the paving to keep this gap even.
Continue to work across the patio area, regularly checking the level. It's best to work across along the house wall first, then down one side using the guide string before filling in the middle, working diagonally.

Police investigating sexual offences against two boys in North Somerset more than 20 years ago are trying to find former employees of a Clevedon firm.
Detectives said a man contacted them in September to report historical sexual offences against himself and another victim, dating back to the early 1990s.
Police said the firm, Cam Gears, which is no longer trading, was "not directly involved".
A 71-year-old man has been arrested and bailed until February.
Det con Andy Eastwood said: "I would like to make it clear the firm, which is no longer trading, is not directly involved in this investigation but it is believed people who worked there may have information which could help us progress this inquiry."
Anyone who worked at Cam Gears in the late 1980s and early 1990s is being asked to contact the police.

I loved the characters, even the supporting characters brought light to the book." - Goodreads Review "I liked this book, like really liked it. It is a sweet sweet m/m romance novel with a wonderful HEA. Thank you V.S. Morgan!! 5 Stars because: " Love conquers all." - Goodreads Review
After witnessing his mother's death, a once outgoing preschooler is now a quiet shadow of himself. The little boy suffers nightmares and rarely speaks, choosing to use the basic sign language he learned in daycare. Desperate to help his little nephew, Virge Stevens takes a leave of absence from the LAPD to bring Donovan, known as D to Montana for the therapy he needs.
A chance meeting at the library changes Virge and his nephew's lives forever.
Jared Malone is one of five brothers, right smack damn in the middle. He is the peacemaker and the one who gets shit done. When his younger brother gets sick, Jared fills in reading to small children at the library. There he encounters a tall, dark, and handsome stranger and his cute little boy. Jared is immediately drawn to Virge but is still dealing with the betrayal of an abusive ex.
As the Malone family welcomes them to the ranch and into their lives, Virge's instant attraction for Jared grows, but the cowboy is fifteen years younger than him. Will he be rejected?
Both men have secrets. Secrets that could destroy the connection between them. Can they overcome the odds and find happiness together?
Another blond cowboy stood in the middle, working with a horse. He had a long rope around its neck, guiding it around the ring at a quick clip. The shirtless cowboy spoke in a firm yet quiet tone. Virge nearly choked on his tongue, eyeing the golden skin and muscles on display. This was their cowboy.
The man whistled, and the horse stopped. He rubbed its shoulder, his back to them, as they reached the ring's split-rail fence.
"Daddy!" D shrieked, and the horse whinnied and shied, bumping into the man as it swung around.
"Whoa, easy, Spike," the cowboy soothed.
Virge struggled to prevent his nephew from launching out of his arms while the cowboy calmed the large, skittish animal. He'd never been near a horse and was struck by its size and power, which the other man skillfully controlled. As the cowboy turned, Virge saw a tattoo on his chest. A redwing blackbird with a rainbow-hued ribbon dangling from its beak. His heart beat a little faster seeing the colorful ink. Could he be gay? The cowboy handed the rope to a dark-haired man before pulling on a T-shirt that stretched tight over those muscles. He suppressed a disappointed sigh.
Nate chuckled. "You've got some explaining to do, bro."
"Hi, I'm Jared. I remember you from the library." He approached with a rolling gait Virge found extremely sexy and offered his hand after wiping it against his denim-clad thigh. Damn, he was built all over and tall, just an inch or two shorter than his own height.
Virge shook his hand, hyperaware of the firm grasp of warm, work-hardened skin. "I'm Virge, and this is Donovan. He goes by D."
"Glad you could make it out—"
"Why did he call Jared daddy?" Nate interrupted.
"He calls all men daddy and women mommy. If he especially likes someone, he adds their first names. D doesn't talk much, so he must like Jared." What about this cowboy had inspired his nephew to talk?
After the tragic death of his sister, LAPD detective and author, Virge is now the guardian of his nephew D. D suffers from selective mutisum, to get him the best help available, Virge finds a wonderful therapist in Montana. He takes a leave of absence and he and D move so he can have the best treatment possible. Upon the suggestion of the therapist, he takes D to the local library where a very attractive cowboy is reading to the kids. D is instantly taken by the cowboy which surprises Virgie.
Jared is doing his brother a favor by filling in for him at reading time at the local library. He notices a very handsome man with a little boy sitting on his lap. He had no idea the impact he had on the boy, and also the man.
Virgie tells the therapist about the library experience and she suggests that they go to the cowboys ranch, when they get there he is surprised that the cowboy they are looking for isnt the same one that was at the library. Jared comes around and D is overly excited to see him again, and honestly so is Virge. I loved how Jared's family opened not only their homes but also their hearts to Virge and D. I fell in love with all of them!
Of course it takes a little for Virge and Jared to get together, and once they do it is HOT!!! I never really noticed the interracial aspect of the couple and I did like how that was not made into a big deal.
Jared's past comes back to haunt them, and with it digs up Virge's secret as well. Once that was all over they were finally able to get their HEA.
I really enjoyed this book. However there were times that i felt like the flow was a bit off. I know that there are two other books in this series but I didnt feel lost at all in that respect, it seems as if each book is based off a member of Jared's family and can be read as a stand alone. There was some information given on one of Jared's brothers that makes me believe that he will be the next book.
I give this book 3.5 sweet stars.

|{Derp's bread by Derp}
The weekend was wonderful and relaxing. I got all of my boxes unpacked, although there are still things everywhere, at least they are free from their boxes. I had dreams of going out over the last 2 days and being a part of the world, but I chose to stay in and organize my room and hang out with Chico. We enjoyed our new space.
Yesterday, Wonder Woman and Derp (roomies) made homemade bread and homemade soup for us to share. They're amazing. Above is a picture Derp took of her creation (I stole it off her facebook page). We stayed in and watched Hocus Pocus and chatted about life. It was truly lovely compared to the stress of finding an apartment and living in a bad situation that was the last two months. I am so grateful for this unexpected change of pace. Chico is like a different dog, he is so much happier.
Have a great Monday!

(TNS) -- NORMAN — As news spread of the large-scale cyber attack using a type of virus called ransomware over the weekend, the University of Oklahoma's information technology team went on alert.
This particular virus, named WannaCry, didn't have as large of an impact in the U.S. as it did elsewhere, with only FedEx catching the brunt of the attack. However, vital and private records elsewhere were being encrypted, and the only way to get them back was to pay the hackers $300.
It's alarming for an organization like OU, which has thousands upon thousands of digital records with information on students, faculty, financial information, research and more.
"As an industry, you can think of us as a small city," said Ron Fellhauer, executive director of network, security and risk management at OU I.T. "We do have lots of very valuable data, from student data to financial data, even health records. So, we take our job very seriously in protecting that."
In the wake of the reported attack, Fellhauer said I.T. personnel at the university began paying close attention, seeking out the opinions of security research firms.
"Then we look at our defenses to see if there's anything we need to tune," he said. "We sent out a general advisory across to all OU staff, just to be diligent. This particular threat did emanate through an email message. We always take those opportunities to remind people to be diligent about what they click on."
WannaCry was spread via email, but soon it wasn't as simple as not clicking on a link or attachment.
The real reason behind the ransomware's rapid spread was a loophole discovered in the security of Microsoft Windows operating systems.
When networks became infected, a message suddenly popped up on computer screens informing the user that their files had been encrypted and the only way to get them back and ensure they were not destroyed was to pay $300 in the internet currency Bitcoin. Hospitals in the U.K. and Indonesia could not access records, businesses in Australia and South Korea were locked out of systems and even a train station in Germany experienced problems.
"Preparing for this kind of thing is actually really hard," said Mark Raymond, the Wick Cary Assistant Professor of International Security at OU. "There are an unknown number of software vulnerabilities in existence."
Cybersecurity is one of Raymond's areas of expertise. He said there are entities that sometimes know of software vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, particularly security services.
The National Security Administration knew of the security loophole used by WannaCry, and this knowledge was reportedly stolen in a hack in April. Fortunately, Raymond said, the NSA decided to share this knowledge with Microsoft, who then developed a software patch.
Why didn't it prevent the ransomware attack in the first place?
"People are notoriously bad about patching and updating their software," Raymond said. "Everyone who was affected hadn't updated their software. That is a problem, and it is a known problem in the software industry."
Fellhauer said remaining aware of software patches and updates, and ensuring campus computer systems all have them, is a big part of I.T.'s security job.
"There is a lot of vigilance involved," he said. "Getting that patch involved in the environment is a big part of it."
But there's another problem with the way security vulnerabilities are handled, and no patch or update can solve it. Raymond said sometimes organizations like the NSA will discover loopholes but not disclose them to the public or software companies.
They're called "zero-day exploits," Raymond said. It's similar to discovering a new kind of weapon technology: if one organization has something that another doesn't, then it immediately becomes an advantage.
"Those kinds of exploits are fundamental to conducting good cybersecurity offense," Raymond said. "If you want to gain unlawful access to someone's computer system, having that knowledge is really essential. There is a black market in these zero-day exploits. This attack really highlights how dangerous that practice is, though."
If the NSA hadn't told Microsoft about the vulnerability, WannaCry's reign of terror could have been far worse.
And there's nothing that says a future ransomware outbreak won't be, as Fellhauer pointed out copycat attacks are almost inevitable.
"This is a continuing problem, but it's not a severe issue because there's already a fix for this," Raymond said. "If there was not, we would be in a very dangerous situation. It's easy to imagine a scenario where we witness an attack that we don't already have a patch for."
Fellhauer said I.T. will keep a close eye on the latest attempts to exploit security loopholes. Prior to taking his job at OU, he managed security for Dell for more than 20 years and said the threat from cyberattacks has only grown.
"Looking back over the last five years or so, it's escalating," Fellhauer said. "It's gone from a weekly or daily thing to an hourly thing. You're always vigilant to what's going on."
