Groundbreaking on new U.S. homes surged in September to its fastest pace in more than four years, a sign the housing sector's budding recovery is gaining traction and supporting the wider economic recovery.
Housing starts ncreased 15 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 872,000 units, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday.
That was the quickest pace since July 2008, though data on starts is volatile and subject to substantial revisions.
The U.S. economy has shown signs of faster growth in recent months as the jobless rate has fallen and retail sales data has pointed to stronger consumer spending.
The data showed the housing market, which was battered by the 2007-09 recession, is increasingly one of the brighter spots in the economy and could add to growth this year for the first time since 2005.
"One of the big headwinds for the economy has been the weak housing market and this indicates that headwind has dissipated," said Gary Thayer, an economic strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors in St. Louis, Missouri.
The brighter economic signal is likely to be welcomed at the White House, where a sluggish economy is weighing on President Barack Obama's chances of re-election next month.
Economists estimate that for every new house built, at least three new jobs are created.
More home building could help compensate for some of the weakness recently in factory output, which is seen as due to sluggish export demand and cooling investment in capital goods.
Not Yet Normal
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast residential construction rising to a 770,000-unit rate. August's starts were revised to show a 758,000-unit pace instead of the previously reported 750,000.
Housing remains hampered by an glut of unsold homes, and the housing starts rate is still about 60 percent below its January 2006 peak.
September groundbreaking for single-family homes, the largest segment of the market, rose 11 percent to a 603,000-unit pace - the highest level since August 2008. Starts for multi-family homes climbed 25.1 percent.
"Things are lining up for housing and housing is likely to contribute to GDP growth this year ," said John C anally, an economist at LPL Financial in Boston. "It's another step in the right direction, but you still have a long, long way to get back to 'normal' in housing."
Building permits grew by 11.6 percent to a 894,000-unit pace in September. August's permits were unrevised at 801,000 units.
Economists had expected permits to rise to a 810,000-unit pace last month.
U.S. home sales have been creeping up and the steep decline in prices since 2006 appears to have bottomed. That has helped home-builder sentiment, which this month rose to a fresh six-year high.
In a bid to help the economy by encouraging people to buy homes, the Fed said last month it would buy $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities every month until the jobs outlook improves substantially.
The Fed's efforts to lower borrowing costs have pushed interest rates on 30-year mortgages to all-time lows. Last week, fixed 30-year mortgage rates rose 1 basis point to average 3.57 percent, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages fell last week, but demand for purchase loans, a leading indicator of home sales, reached the highest level since June, the association said.

mleew needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 111 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
I'm a 25yo Kiwi living in Sydney, Australia. gunnago is the culmination of nearly 4 years of research, development - basically a sh*tload of travel! Having an unhealthy love for the internet since I was young has given me the technical experience neccessary to design and build an intuitive mapping user interface that easily allows users to find information geographically and my day job as a strategy geek in a social media marketing agency has allowed me to develop a solid social heirachy structure and deep facebook connect integration into the platform. My hope is that in combining both of these elements together, a trustworthy and ultimately helpful tool can be born that all travellers, all over the world can use to enhance their travel experiences.
Why do I want to do it? I truly believe, much like facebook has reinvented the web and google reinvented the web before facebook, that the internet works in cycles. Travel on the internet is no different, new players will emerge that sport new technology in helpful ways, at gunnago we want to have a crack at being one of those new players.
The culture at gunnago is all about travel, we all have a passion for it and we all love to do it. We're a roving company, meaning at least 40% of our small team are somewhere in the world, not in the office!
gunnago targets the backpacker travel market. Traditionally this market has been aged between 18-25 years old, but over the past decade the market has expanded to roughly 18-35 year olds from all nation's across the world. Backpackers like to travel lightly, carrying everything they own on the backs. They have a hunger for new culture, foods, people and experieneces. They don't care too much for creature comforts or luxery hotels. Most of this market travel to find out more about themselves, to make more sense of their place in the world. Travel, in this markets eyes is almost viewed as a spiritual endevour. They are hospitable, open to new ideas and can easily break down barriers such as religion or race.
What we want is a logo design for gunnago. The best design element I can give you is that we want it to look rugged and tough, yet clean and elegant - tough proposition i know, but i'm confident it can be acheived!
A great piece of inspiration is a passport, have a look at yours, look at the design, look at the feel, the font's, the stamps, the wear and tear, the authoratitive sentiment it projects - this is what the gunnago logo should look/feel like in design. Further, figure out what your passport actually means to you - it literally is your key to the world, this is what we want gunnago to be, this is what the gunnago logo should also reflect in its design.
The logo will appear on the top left hand corner of the page, against a black background.
FYI - the meaning of gunnago is an abreviation of 'going to go'.
That's about it, im all for letting designers do their thing once a brief has been created, good luck! :)

The death of a prominent real estate developer who was fatally struck by a train near the Fairfield Metro-North station has been ruled a suicide, officials said.
MTA Police were called to the station after Fairfield resident Alfred Lenoci, Jr., 55, was fatally struck by the train at approximately 5:15 a.m. on Wednesday morning, a Metro-North spokesperson said. The subsequent investigation determined that the incident was not an accident and no criminal activity is suspected.
Lenoci previously had trouble with the law, serving more than a year in prison after pleading guilty to bribing Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim. The bribes were part of a larger scheme that later led to the ousting of the former mayor, who also spent time in federal prison following an FBI investigation.
Lenoci and his father, Al Lenoci, Sr. were the heads of United Properties, a Fairfield-based real estate company that financed some of the largest and most expensive strip development properties throughout Connecticut and the tri-state area. Both he and his father pleaded guilty in federal court that they conspired with Ganim. The elder received a term of 12 months, while Lenoci received a term of 18 months in prison.
The Medical Examiner determined that Lenoci died from multiple trauma as a result of suicide. No funeral arrangements have been announced.
A ctpost.com report states that "(FBI) agents were 'appalled and disheartened' as the Lenocis discussed various plans to 'rip off the city.'" It notes that schemes included overbilling Bridgeport for demolition and asbestos removal at derelict buildings and a $500,000 fundraiser for Ganim.
According to the report , Lenoci recently found himself nearly $50,000 in debt after serving as the vice president of a multi-million dollar real estate empire, which was started by his father nearly 50 years ago. In July last year, Lenoci and his wife were arrested following a dispute outside a Fairfield condominium complex. His wife filed for divorce in October last year.

Roll Tape
The main file, index.htm (Listing One), starts by setting a PHP session with a call to session_start(). Sessions are used in PHP as a persistence mechanism, letting data be passed from one page to another. (For more information on PHP sessions, see us2.php.net/session).
After setting the session, the PHP script loads an array with four random numbers, from 0 to 9. These numbers serve as the basis for the randomly generated audio and are used to verify the subsequent user entry. The four digits are then concatenated together and stored in the $_SESSION global array variable. Here I make use of PHP's associative array feature, naming this array index "captchaAnswer".
KeyCheck() gets the key code, the key that was pressed and released by the user. It gets this code via either the window.event that is built into IE or the passed-in variable that will be present in Mozilla-based browsers.
I chose to use the P key to start the audio. There is no need to check for a lowercase P because the browser does "case folding," meaning any lowercase characters are converted to uppercase. I could have used almost any key here. I wanted to use the Spacebar, because that is what's used in many audio software packages for starting or stopping playback. But the Spacebar is already a browser hot key for page down, so I settled for P as in "Play."
When the P key up is detected, KeyCheck() clears any data that may be in the text box. Then it plays the audio file in one of two ways depending on the browser and the OS. If under IE/Windows, the embedded Windows Media player is used. The Media Player has an object model that allows script control. Calling the Player's controls.play() starts the Media Player.
If the user is not on IE/Windows, the script uses whatever the user has set as the default media player. When I tested this, I found that when I used the HTML embed tag, the dynamically created sound file did not play. Using the iframe tag instead, with a 0 size frame, plays the file.
When the audio has started, I shift the focus to the input text box. This sequence activating the audio on the P key hit, shifting the focus to the input text box, and accepting the Enter key as a signal that the entry is completeallows for a mouse-free user experience.
Below KeyPress() is code that embeds the Windows Media Player if the user is on IE/Windows. The url parameter is given the value of PlaySound.php. This is the file that generates the audio. Also, autoStart is False so the audio won't just start when the page is first loaded. You may want to change this value to True depending on how you are presenting the CAPTCHA.
After the JavaScript section comes the form data. The form takes the user input for the CAPTCHA and calls the CaptchaSubmit.php file to verify the input data. Lastly, I include a div section to contain the HTML frame that may be generated in KeyPress().

Loughner Mugshot Is "Most Disturbing Thing I've Ever Seen"
In this handout provided by the Pima County Sheriff's Forensic Unit, Jared Lee Loughner poses for a photo.
The Daily News
January 11, 2011
Editor Note: The following is an Opinion article meant to foster discussion. The statement is not an endorsement nor reflects the views and opinions of PoliceLink.com or our parent company Monster Worldwide.
A mugshot just released of Jared Lee Loughner, the 22-year-old man accused of the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the killing of six others in Tucson, has become a focal point for the strong reactions felt across the United States and even global community after the weekend violence.
The mugshot, which shows Loughner staring straight into the camera with an unsettling smirk on his face, has been splashed across the front pages of American and international newspaper websites. As this is being written, it appears as the lead photograph on the NYTimes.com and LATimes.com slideshows and on the front page of WashingtonPost.com, BBC News, Yahoo News, The Huffington Post, The Times of London, The Daily Telegraph and other top news sites.
Loughner appeared in a federal courtroom in Phoenix Monday with his lawyer Judy Clarke. The college dropout faces two federal murder charges and three attempted murder charges. Magistrate Judge Lawrence Anderson called Loughner a "danger to the community" and ordered him held without bond. Rep. Giffords remains hospitalized in critical condition after being shot in the head.
In the photograph, released by the Pima County Sheriff's Forensic Unit, light shines off Loughner's bald head. He has freckles and what looks like the tracings of a black eye. What makes the image striking is not the face itself, but the look the young man conveys. He grabs the viewer with his eyes, looking straight ahead and not backing down or showing any sign of shame or remorse. Viewing the image — and knowing what the subject is accused of doing — leaves many viewers wondering if the man is mentally ill.
On the social networking site Twitter, the mugshot has been discussed at length with people calling it "creepy" and "eery" and others pleading with the media to stop showing the photograph.
One person wrote: "Have yall seen this Jared loughner mugshot??? My god… Keith olbermann, please stop showing that joint. I am all types of creeped out."
Another wrote, "Jared lee loughner's mugshot will forever haunt me in my dreams."
Another called it "one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen."
What are your thoughts on the image? Why do you think it causes such strong reactions? Should the media limit their use of the image?

Hooksett Police Commission walks away
HOOKSETT — Hooksett residents who voted this week to abolish the town's Police Commission as of next January were trumped Thursday night when the entire board resigned.
"It was totally unexpected," said At-Large Town Councilor Leslie Boswak who, like other members of the council, received an email from Town Administrator Dean Shankle that Chairwoman Joanne McHugh and Commissioners Kenneth Scherer and Clark Karolian had resigned. The commission was working to implement a final round of recommendations developed from a police department audit conducted by the Public Safety Strategies Group.
"I have not received anything official from them yet," said Shankle, who learned of the resignations through a phone call from Police Chief Peter Bartlett after a special meeting Thursday night.
"I would definitely be interested in hearing what they have to say," he added.
None of the three commissioners could be reached for comment.
Shankle said the Police Commission is charged with overseeing the department through Jan 9, 2014.
"I will have to check with the town attorney to see if there is any possible plan B," he said, adding it would be up to the Town Council to appoint three new commissioners for the remainder of the term.
"The greatest problem is the police chief is only authorized to spend up to $2,000," said Shankle.
Any spending beyond that must be approved by the Police Commission, which provides administrative oversight for the police department. And as Shankle pointed out, $2,000 isn't enough to fully equip a new officer if Bartlett needed to add someone to the current department.
"And it's the same thing with hiring, and disciplinary matters," said Shankle. "All those are the bigger problems."
Over the past year, the Hooksett Police Commission had come under fire for what some residents and officials saw as a tendency to micro-manage the town police force. Commissioners were also criticized for taking more than a year to hire a permanent replacement for former Chief Stephen Agrafiotis, who officially resigned in February 2012, after years of controversy marked by paid administrative leaves, a no-confidence vote from some of the department's officers and a three-day suspension over a budget issue that was ultimately overturned by a Merrimack County Superior Court judge.
Those problems led to the independent audit by PSSG and a long list of recommendations for overhauling the department's structure and management.
Although there were complaints about the Police Commission, the three commissioners also had the support of some residents and town officials.
"They stepped up and did what needed to be done," said District 1 Councilor Todd Lizotte. "It takes people with integrity to get a department back on track."
Lizotte said the commissioners showed they had the strength not to become prey to internal pressures.
"They put a structure in place that has allowed the department to drive their own success," said Lizotte. "They did an outstanding job."
Still, Lizotte said government moves on and he is looking ahead to working with fellow councilors on the next phase of the commission. He said he had complete confidence in any decisions from Shankle, who hopes to recruit three new commissioners as quickly as possible
Boswak said she was not sure how much work the Police Commission had left to do, or when decisions would be made.
"Whatever happens, the police department will continue to function," she said. "It will be totally seamless."

Quick Take: The words 'every day' and the word 'everyday' don't mean the same thing.
'Every day' is a phrase meaning 'each 24-hour period'. Here it is in a sentence:
I try to eat something gooey and chocolate every day.
'Everyday' is an adjective meaning 'ordinary, usual, not particularly special'. Here it is in a sentence:
Dexter went to the job interview in his everyday clothes, but he didn't make much of an impression.
Here's a sentence that uses them both correctly:
Julia's everyday dishes were chipped and cracked, so while her in-laws visited, she brought out her best china every day.
HOMEWORK #1: Write a sentence for 'every day' and a sentence for 'everyday' (or one sentence that uses them both).
The second judging criterion for the Writing Challenge reads like this: How creative, unique, and fresh was this entry?
I covered this territory in Writing Out of the Box, but I may be able to come up with a few more pointers. Some of us, after all, are more comfortable IN the box—but our writing must still come across as creative and fresh, or no one will want to read it. For example, for the recent "Manuscript" week, there were lots of people who thought of finding an old manuscript in an attic. Some of those entries were great—and some were a bit dusty. After a while, the judges may have had some trouble remembering which attic entry was which.
So…if you find yourself thinking fairly conventionally most weeks—how can you score well with the judges on criterion #2?
1. Give your people interesting things to do. While Susie's tromping around in the attic, have her crunch an old glass Christmas ornament under foot, or peek out of the attic window to see the teenager next door sneaking a smoke.
2. Appeal to your readers' senses. Give Jim a paper cut as he opens the letter from the publisher. Have Charlotte awaken with the taste of lavender in her mouth. You know those little frogs that chirp really loudly? Maybe they're interfering with Sal's concentration. Lynette is bothered every time she sees the unnecessary apostrophe in the billboard she passes every day. Sam opens the fridge for a soda, and smells something 'off'. I realize that we only have 750 words, and sensory details seem like a waste of precious territory—but they may make the difference between your story and the one that was kind of like it.
3. Include little details. By 'details', I don't mean lots and lots of detailed descriptions. Rather, try to sprinkle little items and actions throughout your entry like, well, like sprinkles on a donut. You don't want your donut to have a gazillion sprinkles—but a few colorful doodads really enhance the donut experience. Here's an example of what I mean:
…Grandma Phyllis is older than Nana Dot, and she has a small brown mole near her lip that disturbs Natalie. She can't find a way to talk to her grandma without seeing that mole, which looks like a cookie crumb that should be brushed away...
Now, that mole had nothing to do with the plot of this story; the story would have been essentially unchanged without it. But it's a small detail that readers might remember (and it also helps in visualization of Grandma Phyllis, poor thing).
4. Here's a hint for you non-fiction and devotional writers: Give your entry a personal touch. Devotionals or Bible studies that read like academic papers or expository discourses have not traditionally done well in the Writing Challenge. Consider your audience; many readers here have heard years or even decades of sermons, Bible studies, and scriptural lessons. It's especially important, then, to make yours stand out. One way to make your devotional unique is to tell how you learned this lesson—after all, there's nothing more unique than personal experience. Real-life, personal application is gold as far as judging devotionals go. Even if you're writing non-fiction, tell us a story or give us an object lesson.
5. Add humor. That goes for fiction and non-fiction alike. Even a serious story or a serious essay can have a moment of humor; haven't we all had a laugh at a funeral, or found something humorous in the direst of circumstances?
6. Add a touch of the unexpected to your story (see Gerald Shuler's post below...thanks, Gerald).
7. Place your entry in an interesting setting (see Pottersclay's post--thanks, Joan!).
That's enough for now—I've got two more homework assignments for you (did you catch the first one, after the 'Quick Take'?).
HOMEWORK #2: Give us another item for this list of ways that writers can be creative, unique, and fresh.
HOMEWORK #3: I'm going to give you a very specific scenario. Everyone gets the same one, so 'unique' is out. But I want you to write it in a creative and fresh way, either by using my suggestions, or just by breaking out on your own. PLEASE—150 words or less! 150 words or less! Seriously! 150 words or less!
Here's the scenario: A person is driving when he/she sees a glint of something shiny just off the road. This person is torn between the need to get where he/she is going and curiosity about the shiny thing.
Got it? Write! And make it creative and fresh.
By the way—you don't have to do all three homework assignments. Do one, two, or three of them, but I'd sure like to hear something from you!

"Just the facts, ma'am," Detective Jack Webb used to say on "Dragnet."
That's the safest approach to reporting on oral arguments before the Supreme Court. Leave the analysis to the pundits.
So it was with a fair amount of thought that I used the word "dispassionate" in a headline and news story from yesterday's oral argument in Baze v. Rees, a case about the constitutionality of the lethal injection method used in 36 states.
Another observer might contend that the oral argument was full of passion, with repeated references to the "excruciating pain" experienced when the lethal injection procedure goes wrong at an execution.
Justice Antonin Scalia, always blunt, wondered where it's written in the Constitution that an execution must be painless.
After all, he said, "it's not surgery," where the goal is for the patient to live. What difference does it make if an inmate dies painfully, as long as that wasn't the intention of the executioners, he wondered.
That's when the word "dispassionate" first occurred to me. Then there was the general disconnect in the courtroom.
What seemed obvious to me — it's a human being's life the justices were debating how to end — never seemed to be the point. Actually, the case could affect most of the 3,350 people currently on death row and others who will follow them there.
Granted, the legal issue before the court was about the procedures, not the morality of capital punishment. And the Supreme Court has made it abundantly clear that they prefer to be concerned with only the narrowest interpretations of the Constitution necessary.
It's a "just the facts, ma'am," world they inhabit.
Even the attorney for Ralph Baze and Thomas Bowling, the two Kentucky inmates who are appealing the method of their planned executions, never said a word to connect those living, breathing, feeling men to the clinical system of killing being evaluated Indeed, the only mention of their names was in calling the title of the case.
It was a case argued on policies and process, statistical chances of error and how quickly the state can get back to the business of killing people without all the fuss over whether the procedure might be too cruel.
Ralph Baze and Thomas Bowling have accepted their convictions for their crimes. They're prepared to spend their lives in prison, if their executions are set aside. Based upon the way the justices were talking, this case may not even answer the question they hoped would save them from execution.
It was striking that amid the legal debate about how to kill them, nobody thought it important to mention them.

The nuclear family peaked in 1960 with 45 percent of the American population. Many decades later, the tidy ensemble is rare. Relationships, baby making, sex, dating, divorce -- they aren't what they used to be. But the mainstream media keeps the reality of American life a secret, only leaking the occasional tidbit to remind us that those in "unconventional" configurations are a sad anomaly to be pitied or ignored.
Life As We Know It offers proof in its most engaging form -- the personal essay -- that the big guys have got it wrong. This collection of blunt, lyrical, and often very funny work from award-winning Salon.com tells the true stories about how we live -- of hustling fertility drugs, losing a child, hating dad, and coming to terms with a parent who was the voice of "Frosty the Snowman" on TV. First-time writers and critically acclaimed authors like Amy Bloom, Kathryn Harrison, Susan Straight, and Benjamin Cheever, plumb the familiar to deliver portraits of moments, seasons, and eras that we recognize or long to understand.

Rise of tablet and smartphone gaming "undeniable," but the devices can be "our allies,"says Nintendo executive
Scott Moffitt, Nintendo's executive vice-president of sales and marketing, believes tablets and smartphone are the firm's "allies" in a market where the tech's growth as a gaming device is "undeniable."
Speaking during the BMO 2012 Digital Media Conference this week, Moffitt said its "undeniable the growth of tablets and their ability to play games," is creating a "tougher environment"; however, when looking at internal data, the tablet market isn't "a zero-sum game."
"The DS didn't have competition from tablets and smartphones, and yet we are outpacing the rate of sale for the DS," said Moffitt. "These are seemingly conflicting data points. Obviously we see a rise in new competitive products, but we are seeing better results in a tougher environment."
Moffitt said tablets and smartphones can be Nintendo's allies as the devices provide a way for users to easily find Nintendo websites and products information.
Nintendo launches its new console, Wii U, later this month and it comes with its own "tablet-like" controller.
Thanks, Polygon.

Francis Alberti
Francis (Francesco) Alberti ( ? – 1785) was a musician from Faenza, Italy who taught music to Thomas Jefferson and his family.[1]
It is not known when Alberti first emigrated from Faenza, but one secondary reference claims that he introduced the "new Italian method" of violin teaching to the colonies in 1759.[2] Alberti first met Jefferson in Williamsburg in the 1760s. Years later, Jefferson told his grandson-in-law of Alberti: "...Alberti came over with a troop of players[3] and afterwards taught music in Williamsburg. Subsequently I got him to come up here to Monticello and took lessons for several years." Alberti is also said to have tutored Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson on the harpsichord.[4] Alberti also tutored some of the younger Jefferson siblings, and taught dancing to other nearby residents, including James Madison.[5]
Even after hearing some of the finest musicians and composers of the day during his years in Europe, Jefferson still retained a fondness for Alberti. He told Nicholas Trist, "I have heard Viotti often but never derived the same pleasure from him that I have from Alberti."[6]
Alberti evidently worked for other well-to-do families as a music teacher; the clerk of Amherst County, Edmund Wilcox, recorded a payment to Alberti for "teaching you Musick" against the account of Richard Taliaferro, a brother-in-law of George Wythe, in 1774.[7] That same year, Alberti signed his name (as "Francis Alberte") to a Williamsburg imprint of the Continental Association.[8]
Little more is known of Alberti; he disappears from Jefferson's accounts after 1777. On August 5, 1785, a friend in Richmond wrote to Jefferson, "By the bye old Alberti died and was interrd last night here. He was one of a Band of musick to whom I have subscribed tho never heard them, at all; they surpass in execution, hardly the Jews Harp and Banjer performers."[9] An inventory of Alberti's property at the time of his death included three fans, cordial bottles, a pair of ladies' gloves, a tenor violin, five violin bridges, seven bows, a hymn book, and three old music books, among other items.[10]

March 2012
March 30, 2012: In Michigan, March has come in like a lamb, but is leaving like a schizophrenic, never certain what temperature it should be. Monday was balmy and perfect for a run down to Detroit's Hard Rock Café for the announcement of Dodge's participation in the Global RallyCross Championship. It will run the new Dart, driven by motocross and Supercross legend, Travis Pastrana. Chris Sawyer spent a little time with Pastrana, and says he's not as crazy as you might think. On Tuesday, it was off to Auburn Hills to see what Jeep has cooked up for this year's Easter Safari in Moab. The clear but crisp (c-o-l-d) weather provided the perfect backdrop for concepts both real and fanciful. Wednesday warmed up again, just in time for Ford to announce the Explorer Sport. Powered by a 350-hp EcoBoost V6, it promises lots of go to go with the show (or is that SHO?). The Rumor Mill returns this week, and asks what's behind Jost Capito's fast exit from Ford for VW, who is responsible for the Toyota GT 86/Scion FRS' handling, whether or not Toyota is watching Lotus's death march and waiting to strike, and what the Lexus LF-A and Hyundai have in common. Chris Sawyer, meanwhile, sits down with friend and former colleague John Clor to discuss oil prices, and asks what can be done to stop this insanity. (A lot, as it turns out.) And Al takes umbrage with drivers who don't accelerate with alacrity when the light turns green — even the dead ones.
March 23, 2012: Curious about the silver scrap in the picture? It's the remains of a crushed Mercedes 300 SL replica. One whose makers didn't have Mercedes' permission to build. Read about what happened when German Customs seized the car as it was heading out of Germany. Had the people responsible for the bogus Mercedes been smart, they could have used OnStar's new aftermarket FMV unit to report the car stolen, called for roadside assistance, called their lawyers or asked about traffic and weather in the vicinity of the local jail. But their loss may be your gain if your vehicle is compatible with the unit. Read what we have to say about the OnStar FMV, and whether or not it's right for you. Speaking of technology plusses and minuses, Al gives his opinion about steering wheel controls. Good? Bad? Exasperating? Yes, he says, and more. Finally, you can catch up on your Formula 1 reading in time for this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix. Though Peter Wright's book is now 11 years old, it explains a lot about the technology and work necessary to create a competitive challenger, and why – for many — Formula 1 is no longer fun.
March 16, 2012: This week the Driver's Seat is getting a workout. First up, Al goes to Vegas to drive the Fiat 500 Abarth. Though diminutive and cute, the Abarth proved to be a hoot to drive, and one of Al's recent favorites. If that isn't enough, the on-the-go "Angriest Man in Automotive Journalism" spent time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There he evaluated Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. And, while he was at it, Al contemplated why a place that gets as much as 700 inches of snow each year can have smooth, well-maintained roads when his beloved Michigan can't. Speaking of questions for the ages, Chrhis Sawyer took time out to evaluate Ford's F-150 EcoBoost. Ford says it has the power of a V8, but the economy of a V6. Find out if this indeed the case, and whether or not this ability has any drawbacks that might kill the deal. The big deal this week was the announcement that Nissan would be the technical partner for the DeltaWing Le Mans project. This begs the question: Why didn't any American automakers step up to support this wild, innovative program? Finally, we take a look under the hood of the new battery powered Mercedes AMG SLS E-Cell. It's a supercar that runs on batteries, but is it the answer to a question nobody asked?
March 9, 2012: Switzerland is a country of amazing beauty, delicious chocolate, numbered bank accounts and one hell of a motor show. The latter is surprising since the Swiss don't like speed… or noise. It's just not proper. Yet Geneva is a proper motor show, and the first major European show of the season. It's a great place for automakers to launch new cars early in the new year, or to tease the public with concepts. We put on our walking shoes and take a look at some of the more interesting vehicles on display in the Swiss capital. The words "interesting" and "Switzerland" conjure up another image: a reimagined Jaguar E-Type. Swiss designer Robert Palm is bringing his 2011 Growler concept to life as the Lyonheart K. Engineered and built in England, it is based on Jaguar XKR mechanicals, built from "genuine" materials, and costs more than anyone at TVD will make in a lifetime. We celebrate the birthday of one of the world's most famous and desire race/road cars: the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Launched just seven years after the end of World War II, the 300 SL helped reestablish Mercedes' sporting credentials, and boosted interest in the German car maker. Despite all this talk of the world's timepiece capital, Al finds himself perplexed by the very act of setting the time in the cars he drives. With the explosion of buttons and in-dash technologies, it has gotten much more difficult to perform this simple task. Read how Al deals with this problem, and you'll understand why his iPad often defaults to German.
March 2, 2012: It's been a busy week here at TVD. Al is back from driving the new Hyundai Azera, a car the Editor once described as "the best Oldsmobile 98 ever made." With Olds dead and its customers scattered to the four winds, is that a target worth shooting at, or has Hyundai refocused its sights on a new target? Speaking of new targets, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost from Ford isn't just for the European Focus and Fiesta. It's going global. What makes this engine special? Read all about the first three-cylinder engine in Ford history to find out. Not strange enough for you? Then how about a small coupe-like SUV that is also a convertible and pickup? It will debut in Geneva later this month. If rumor is more your style, take a look at a new feature we have called The Rumor Mill. It looks at what's being said behind the scenes, and gives you a clue as to what's happening in the industry today. It will appear whenever the gossip gets juicy. After bending two wheels on a monster Michigan pothole, Chris Sawyer vented his spleen, and Al took up the cause. Read his tirade on these asphalt aggravations, and then take a listen to a recent podcast Al and Editor Sawyer did with the folks from RoundAbout.

Updated: Fire hits Pariseau high rise in ManchesterBY MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 15. 2013 8:48PM
MANCHESTER— Some residents of the Pariseau highrise were forced from their homes Tuesday afternoon when fire broke out in a second-floor apartment of the 11-story building that houses elderly and disabled people.
Manchester fire officials said a sprinkler system, installed about two years ago, kept the fire in Apartment 210 in check.
But smoke proved pesky, prompting many to leave the building. The fire department moved 41 to the Cashin Senior Center temporarily to stay warm.
"The smoke was so bad, so thick, I didn't want to go out there," said Dan Teal, who lives next to Apartment 210. He said a firefighter twice knocked on his door to get him to leave. The second time, he offered Teal an air mask.
"Even wearing that mask I was coughing," Teal said. He said water from sprinklers was about a half-inch deep in the hallway.
The building contains about 100 apartments.
Fire Chief James Burkush said firefighters evacuated second-floor residents, others left on their own, and firefighters carried residents with mobility challenges out of the building. Elevators could not be used until the fire department determined they were safe, he said.
Because of fire walls and the building's non-combustible nature, it was safe for many residents to simply close their door and remain safe inside their apartment, Burkush said.
Meanwhile, a deputy fire marshal was shaken up when the Manchester Fire Department van was involved in an automobile accident enroute to the fire.
Police had no details on the accident Thursday night, other than to say no one was hurt and it took place at Amory and McGregor streets, in front of the high-rise.
As of early Tuesday night, four apartments had to be cleaned out and were uninhabitable, said Dick Dunfey, executive director of the Manchester Housing and Redeveloment Authority. He said residents were staying with friends or in a hotel.
Also last night, District Fire Chief Mark Pelletier said the cause of the fire was undetermined, and investigators were waiting to interview the tenant in Room 210. He was transported to the hospital for observation, he said.
The fire appears to have started in a piece of upholstered furniture, he said.
Burkush said the resident, who tenants identified as David Desrochers, was not in his apartment at the time of the fire. He said the fire appears to have started in the living room of the apartment.
"You can't underestimate the power of the sprinkler system to contain the fire. It really in this case made all the difference in the world," he said.
The housing authority installed sprinklers in all its high-rise apartments in the last several years, a project speeded up by federal stimulus funds, Dunfey said. He said a few fires take place each year in housing authority high rises, but a fire to the extent of Tuesday's fire is unusual.
Several residents said the smoke contained a strong odor of burned plastic.
Seventh-floor resident Jodee Volpe said she heard the alarm and exited the building. A fellow resident let her borrow a woolen blanket, which she draped around her shoulders.
"There's no real danger unless someone can't get out," she said.
A fifth-floor resident who only wanted his first name used said two older women couldn't breathe, so he notified firefighters.
"The alarm goes off all the time," Richard said. "You don't think of anything until you open your door and see the smoke."

After a long lean period when high-end Level D full-flight simulators were out of reach of most operators' budgets and low-end "broomstick and a bucket" limited-capability flight training devices seemed the norm, helicopter training equipment is now every bit as sophisticated as that used for airline pilot training, if not moreso, particularly the new visual systems and motion/vibration platforms.
The two dominant helicopter training companies, both in terms of simulator manufacturing and independent training centers, are FlightSafety International and CAE. They're not the only game in town, however.
The latest enhancements to FlightSafety's current helicopter simulators include the Vital 1100 visual image generation system with "an increased level of fidelity, particularly in near-ground areas with enhanced effects such as rotor wash and wave actions," according to Steve Phillips, vice president of communications.
To display the new high-resolution graphics, which FlightSafety says are five times as powerful as the previous generation, the company has opted for a glass mirror known as Crewview.
At 310 degrees, it's the widest horizontal field-of-view on the market. "The expanded field of view eliminates edge distortions common in legacy soft-film [mylar] display systems.
This allows pilots to train with virtually the same out-the-window view in the simulator as the helicopter," Phillips says.
In addition to Level D full-flight simulators, FlightSafety produces Matrix flight training devices, computer-based training, distance-learning, and the gamut of solutions for a turnkey solution.
"CAE's 3000 Series full-flight simulator product was designed specifically for the helicopter market with large, direct projection domes and all-electric cueing," says Peter Cobb, global operations leader for helicopter training. "The use of common motion, vibration, and visual systems across the range of civil helicopters we simulate, along with the possibility of using multiple helicopter cockpits using just one platform, helps keep both acquisition and operating costs down."
CAE's visual display is a direct-view dome, 10 feet in diameter for small and mid-size helicopters and 12 feet for larger aircraft. The company launched its "third-generation" image system, Tropos-6000, in 2011. CAE's Simfinity line of flat-panel displays complements and uses much the same software as the Level D FFS.
Other manufacturers capable of producing high-end Level D and Level B full-motion simulators include Indra (Spain), Thales (France), and Frasca (U.S.).
Indra is one of the top technology companies based in Europe, operating in more than 120 countries and with over 40,000 employees. They leverage their work in the defense sector (as do Flightsafety, CAE, Thales, and others) into the civil helicopter training business. Indra has been most closely associated with Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter), producing FFSs for the AS350, EC225, and EC175 in recent years.
Thales has three training center projects in the works: with SAF in Albertville in France's Alps, in Norway with an undisclosed partner, and an FFS in China with a "local partner." Spokesperson Joshua Valanzuolo notes that Thales offers comprehensive training solutions, such as "full mission preparation and rehearsal across many areas, including oil and gas, search-and-rescue, firefighting, mountain flying, night flying, and urban security."
Frasca, which sometimes gets tagged with a "low-end" label for having produced thousands of desktop and flight training devices, also has a range of capabilities up to Level D. Randy Gawenda points out that the central Illinois, family-run company built its first helicopter simulation device more than 40 years ago. One rare capability: "We can plan and implement our own flight test program to design, deliver, and qualify a very highly accurate simulator."
Rockwell Collins produces one of the industry's leading image generators, the EP-8000, widely used in commercial aviation training, and they have created military helicopter flight simulators; however, they do not seem to be pursing the civil helicopter simulator space at this time.
FlyIt, a small American company (Carlsbad, Calif.) has shipped over 120 Professional Helicopter Simulators (PHS) to 26 countries, focusing on light helicopters such as the AS350 B2 and Bell 407. Compared to several million dollars for a Level D device, their generic aviation training device (ATD) costs as low as $150,000 and a cockpit-specific model still under a million. Chairman Terry Simpkins claims FlyIt's PHS "is the only ATD ever authorized for 7.5 hours of hover training" and that "the student is able to hover the real helicopter in 1.5 to 2 hours."
Environmental Tectonics Corporation (ETC) of Southampton, Pa., offers computer-based systems, basic, and procedural trainers, but is perhaps best known for spatial disorientation devices and scenarios, "enabling aircrew to experience a full range of motioned-based SD illusions."
Another name you'll occasionally see on a bidders' list is Cuesim (Oakley, UK). They've produced a mix of trainers for military and civil customers, mostly Level A, B, and Level 3 multi-crew coordination devices.
The drive to ensure that safety remains uppermost in the minds of helicopter operators becomes ever more challenging when the industry continues to expand into relatively new international market sectors. When operators are involved in challenging missions where their capabilities are often pushed towards extremes, particularly in those new and/or developing markets, safety practices reach out beyond the actual aircraft and many of the new integrated systems such as HUMS and on-board cameras.
There is a recognized steady growth around the world in the HEMS market. This is now spreading beyond traditional operators into countries with relatively modest services or, in fact, those wishing to launch their first HEMS operations. One of the major problems in such countries is often the lack of infrastructure and it particular helicopter landing zones away from recognized airfields. One of the biggest dangers to any HEMS operator is landing a helicopter in an unfamiliar location, especially away from helipads in the case of medical emergency crews and those specializing in air rescue. This also applies to certain industry sectors, such as mining, where locations are often remote and away from ambient lighting. As Fraser MacKay, director FEC Heliports Worldwide, explains: "Helipads are small and compact and can be surrounded by potential obstacles. It is here that good lighting in particular can be effective, particularly flashing beacons that can attract the pilot's attention from a distance."
Portable systems can now provide a quick and effective solution, particularly for temporary landing zones. FEC Heliports has developed its own portable system that can be deployed from a briefcase. There are up to eight lights in a case and MacKay says that two cases would provide sufficient units for any emergency helipad. Each light features white, green and blue lights together with an infrared (IR) capability. Both visible and IR lighting can be switched on at the same time. "The use of NVG seems to be increasing leading to a greater demand for NVG visible lights," MacKay said.
Other portable lighting systems include that from Aerolighting Switzerland. It comprises six LED omnidirectional lights that are powered by built-in batteries. There is an option of 14-hour operation with 100 percent intensity or a longer duration of 40 hours with 30 percent intensity. Although military use of NVGs is common among leading air forces around the world, use in the civil community is still patchy. MacKay has noticed that in the UK there is an increasing need for HEMS operators to fly at night. He said that this would have an effect on the need for equipment and training for aircrew and ground support.
Australia-based Avlite has developed products for both the military and commercial markets. Standard incandescent lighting is visible to NVG wearers though the heat that they emit, but any location that has changed to LED lighting will see a problem due to the lack of heat in these lights. "LED lighting produces no significant heat signature and emits colored light at a single wavelength which is typically outside the NVG reception range," explains Tara Steward, head of global sales at Avlite. LED lighting not only reduces power consumption against that of incandescent lamps, it also has a much longer lifespan.
"Reduced power requirements have led to the adoption of renewable energy alternatives," states Stewart, adding that solar power is available for both permanent and portable systems, although there are a range of power options.
One of the most difficult aspects of owning a heliport is to keep abreast of regulatory developments.
With manufacturers commonly having to be aware of any changes, says Stewart, lighting OEMs will ensure that their customers retain product compliance and will ensure that installations that feature their product are kept up to the regulatory standard set by bodies such as ICAO or FAA.
In June last year, RACQ Careflight Rescue opened a helipad landing site (HLS) at Toowoomba in southern Queensland. The helipad's construction included Avlite's solar powered flood lights (white light with an adjustable head to vary the lighting across the helipad when needed) and bordered by ICAO compliant green solar powered perimeter lights.
Ashley van de Velde, CEO CareFlight Group Queensland, stated that the lighting would further enhance the safety of the HEMS operation, which would lead to improved service delivery to the local community.
According to MacKay, products such as FEC's digital Remote Lighting Controller (RLC) integrate traditional VHF PCL with SMS control and monitoring. More remote heliports may be operated on an "on demand" basis, adds Stewart. Avlite's solar heliport lighting system offers wireless monitoring of individual fixtures and other elements such as Heliport Approach Path Indicators (HAPI) and Windcones. But floodlights around a helipad can have their downside, particularly on a small helipad: "There is growing recognition that there are sometimes conflicting requirements for pilot oriented verses passenger/ground staff lighting – floodlights to help the latter can blind the former." So planning illumination for any helipad needs careful consideration.

Andrew Zimmermann's photography exhibition, "Every Church in Nebraska City" will be shown at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts through June 20.
The exhibit features black and white photographs of 23 Nebraska City churches.
The KHN Center for the Arts' May display features the "Every Church in Nebraska City" exhibition.
Andrew Zimmermann, a visual artist from Arlington, Va., took black and white photographs of 23 churches during an earlier stay as an artist in residency.
Zimmermann noted the diversity of congregations and architectural styles found in Nebraska City.
"He sees this series of photographs as a way of emphasizing a central component of life in Nebraska City and the exhibition of these collective works as a way of fostering new connections between the people of the town," said center director Jenni Brant.
Following the close of the exhibition on June 20, Zimmermann plans to donate the framed prints of each church the respective locations.
An artist reception was held Thursday, May 9.

said Pete Brennan, Zola's chief growth officer.
He explained to FoodNavigator-USA that the answer was to better showcase through package design the functional benefits of coconut water and the other star ingredients in the brand's portfolio, which includes coconut water with pulp, espresso or chocolate in addition to its original flavor and its new pineapple juice blend.
Brennan said.
To do this, the company settled on a streamlined design centered on the concept of Brennan said, adding this
He explained that main icon at the top of the package's front panel depicts
Icons running down the side panel reinforce these messages and the company's values, representing the organic certification, Kosher, gluten free, GMO free, and recyclable.
The imagery on the package also quickly tells consumers that the product is vegan – a declaration that required the company to reformulate its chocolate and espresso coconut waters.
Brennan explains that the chocolate and espresso coconut waters had a to help deliver a creamier mouth feel. But in order to be the company swapped the dairy out for coconut milk, making the product vegan.
It also dropped carrageenan after learning from consumers that this was an ingredient that gave many people pause, Brennan said. He explained the carrageenan was used to help suspend the real cocoa and espresso powders used in the two coconut waters. Without it, consumers might need to give the products a before they drink the beverages, he said.
Zola also hopes to bring new consumers to the coconut water category by launching a coconut water and pineapple juice blend that is more approachable and palatable to new users.
Brennan said.
Ultimately, Brennan sees these changes as just the beginning of the coconut water category's next phase, which will focus on hydration, antioxidants, nutrition and other functional benefits.

Natural disasters can destroy lives and wipe out years of development in a matter of hours or even seconds. Populations around the world are increasingly exposed to
natural hazards
Angara Pear Shaped Tanzanite Leverback Earrings in White Gold OjtQu
, floods , Zales Mens 90mm Comfort Fit Wedding Band in Sterling Silver VAYex6Eh
, earthquakes , disease epidemics, etc.), to man-made crises (socio-economic shocks, Gurhan Lentil Ice 24k Gold amp; Diamond Drop Earrings KfYcb
, etc.) and to protracted crises ( complex , prolonged emergencies that combine two or more aspects of the above-mentioned crises).
People who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods are often the worst affected when a crisis or a disaster strikes, potentially putting their food and nutrition security at serious risk.
FAO is working towards increasing the resilience of people and their livelihoods to these threats and crises. For this purpose, FAO defines resilience as:
"The ability to prevent disasters and crises as well as to anticipate, absorb, accommodate or recover from them in a timely, efficient and sustainable manner. This includes protecting, restoring and improving livelihoods systems in the face of threats that impact agriculture, nutrition, food security and food safety."
In other words, resilience is the ability of people, communities or systems that are confronted by disasters or crises to withstand damage and to recover rapidly .
Therefore, we seek to develop the capacities of families, communities and institutions to protect people and their livelihoods, through measures to avoid (prevention) or limit (mitigation and preparedness) the adverse effects of hazards and to provide timely and reliable hazard forecasts. This is called Disaster Risk Reduction ( DRR ), or to simplify: The prevention and mitigation of, and preparedness for, disasters, within the broader concept of sustainable development.
FAO's resilience strategy is based on four pillars:
In January 2005, 168 Governments adopted a 10-year plan to make the world safer from natural hazards at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction , held in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. The Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 : Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to disasters, offers guiding principles, priorities for action and practical means for achieving disaster resilience for vulnerable communities.
It also called on the international community to end Israel's occupation and guarantee the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including the right to self-determination and establish an independent country, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The country's statement was made during a speech by Obaid Salem Al Zaabi, Permanent Representative of the UAE to the UN in Geneva, at the 38th session of the Human Rights Council, which witnessed a general discussion on the state of human rights in Palestine and other occupied Arab lands.
Al Zaabi highlighted Security Council Resolution No. 2334 for 2016, which asserts that Israel's policy of settlement expansion in occupied Palestinian areas since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal basis, is a stark violation of international law, and is a major obstacle to creating two states that can live together in peace and security. Two years after the resolution was issued, the wall is still continuing to be built and the number of settlements is increasing while the two-state solution has disappeared, even before it was discussed, he added.
Al Zaabi called on the council to face its responsibilities to uphold resolutions and the reports of special rapporteurs and investigation committees, as well as to enforce its mandate to end Israel's injustices and its construction of settlements, which are the symbol of Israel's continuing occupation and hinders the efforts of peace initiatives.
He also noted the latest report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, OCHA, which points out that since 1967, around 250 Israeli settlements and outposts were established in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which led to the loss of properties and sources of income while the attacks of Israeli settlers against Palestinians were encouraged by the lack of any international accountability.
The UAE announced, during the Jerusalem Summit in Dhahran in April 2018, that it is offering two bundles of assistance to support the Palestinian people, with the first being valued at $20 million, which will be allocated to programmes that support Islamic endowments in Jerusalem while the second, which is valued at $50 million, will be given to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, Al Zaabi said in conclusion.

There are cold spells, and then there's what happened to the Houston Rockets during Game 7 of the Western Conference finals against the Golden State Warriors.
If you thought to yourself, "man, it seems like it's been a while since the Rockets made a 3-pointer," you were absolutely right. The Rockets missed an playoff record 27 consecutive 3-pointers from the second quarter to the fourth quarter. They didn't make a single 3 in the third quarter.
After missing TWENTY SEVEN consecutive threes, the Rockets have hit from deep!

In an earlier statement, the university identified the suspect as Hollis Daniels.
According to a university statement, campus police made a student welfare check Monday evening and — upon entering the room — found evidence of drugs and drug paraphernalia. Officers then brought the suspect to the police station for standard debriefing.
"During this time, the suspect pulled a gun and mortally shot an officer," Texas Tech Police Chief Kyle Bonath said. "The suspect fled on foot and later apprehended by ... (campus police) near the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum."
Texas Tech officials initially issued a lockdown alert to students on social media, urging those on campus "to take shelter in a safe location."
"The family of the officer is in the thoughts and prayers of the Texas Tech community," said Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec. "I want to express my deep appreciation to the Texas Tech Police Department, Lubbock Police Department, Lubbock Sherriff's Office, and other state and federal law enforcement officials for their response."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott also issued a statement about the shooting late Monday, saying "hearts go out to the family of the police officer killed." Abbott also said he had mobilized state law enforcement resources to aid in the investigation.

Genealogy home offices are evolving with modern technology. It's 2012 and microfiche and film readers are being relegated to attics and junk piles. With the National Archives skipping microfilm and releasing the 1940 Federal Census as digital scans and replacing older model copiers with new high tech copier/scanners the end of these clunky machines is near at hand. My own microfiche machine has become a convenient place for post-a-notes.
The most astonishing modern technology notion has given me more than pause. A recent news release announced that schools are slowly removing cursive from grade school curriculum's . Why? Because of the use of keyboards. Students identify with print on those tiny little keys. During a family discussion this past month my 12 year old granddaughter proudly reported she is proficient in cursive. Thank goodness! When I asked how my family thought future generations would decipher documents, if not taught cursive, it was suggested that students would choose it as either an elective or a specialty course. After all we genealogists already have lectures and even Kip Sperry's wonderful book Reading Early American Handwriting when deciphering hand written documents. And if the truth be told my handwriting is not what it used to be. I refuse to blame it on age but will contribute it to the fact that 99% of my communication is with a keyboard.
Reflecting back, I remember feeling very modern when using my first microfilm reader. It was certainly exciting and very modern when the Commodore 64 was installed in the office. Then I danced a jig as the large clunky monitor was replaced with a sleek flat screen. I loved getting that little extra bit of space on my desk.
My office library is still intact with rows of beautiful bound books. I confess I have turned to the ereader for novels and general reading and freed up much needed space on the shelves for more genealogy hardbound copies that I would not part with. I am thrilled with all the wonderful genealogies that have now been digitized so that I don't have to find that one special copy at a library hundred's of miles away. We can have it both ways.
The microfiche machine is leaving the premises. Ah, much needed space on the desk for new gadgets! But, but, but, I am having trouble letting go of my microfilm reader because filmed court recorded in my office have not been scanned to date.
All this makes me wonder if my grandchildren know what carbon paper and memeograph machines are/were? Does it matter when modern translates to improved and knowledge at our fingertips? As fast as technology is evolving, what tools will the modern genealogist include five or ten years from now? You are never to old to be modern. You just have to be quick enough to keep up with what is new. Blink these days and you will miss it.
I will close my January 2012 modern rambling thoughts because of the need to send another document to the "cloud." Maybe I will red flag this to reread in 2024 and get a giggle from what I thought was so modern today.

Laura Cleary & Jason Cotter
March 30, 2013
The Oasis at The Raleigh Hotel, Miami Beach
The couple met while working at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, Laura as the marketing and PR manager and Jason as a hospitality consultant. After a close mishap in the employee dining room (where Laura almost ran into Jason with a steak knife!), they started chatting—and the rest is history.
A close friend officiated the ceremony, where the couple exchanged personalized vows with Laura's sister and Jason's brother standing up as their wedding party. Guests left with homemade rosemary salt favors adorned with this message: "To enhance future dinners around the table with loved ones as you have enhanced our lives through the years." "We love to cook and entertain, so we wanted to give something that spoke to that important part of our life together," Laura says.
Following the reception, the pair continued the celebration with close friends and family at an afterparty at SLS Hotel South Beach's Hyde Beach venue. –Photography by 13:13 Photography
