Since 1983 George Carruth has been creating wonderful cast images in stone from completely original designs carved from limestone and clay. A cat birdbath, frog rain gauge and dog thermometer are but a few of the outdoor garden statues and sculptures created at Carruth Studio. It all began over 25 years ago with one-of-a-kind garden statues and sculptures, hand carved from stones, cast off from local quarries. Turning rough quarry stones into garden sculptures became the passion of George Carruth over two decades ago. After several years of working as a sculptor at American Greeting Cards in Cleveland, Ohio, George decided to apply his artistic skills to stone. It literally changed his life! Soon he was winning awards at art shows and exhibits, sculpting commissioned pieces for the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and carving custom stone panels for a school, library and village clock tower.

Vancouver Stays Alive By Playing Great Game in Chicago

In one of the more exciting games of the playoffs, the Vancouver Canucks flattened the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1.

This game had everything. Disciplined play, one team clearly having fun on the ice, fast skating, solid checking, and incredible goaltending, and, unfortunately, a wicked-bad injury to Canucks defensive star Sami Salo.

Injuries are a part of any professional sport, and in hockey they can be particularly bad. Among other things in play are sharp skates, a frozen surface, fiberglass sticks, and a puck that frequently exceeds 100 miles per hour off a solid slap shot. It's the last item that has Sami Salo down, and probably out, for at least the remainder of this series.

Salo caught a Duncan Keith slap shot right in the groin, which felled him instantly. He remained on the ice for several minutes before being carted off on a stretcher. He was taken to a local Chicago-area hospital where he was kept overnight.

Salo's injury happened in the 1st period in which the Canucks scored two goals. They rallied around the injury and dumped in two more, including an empty netter at 19:15 of the 3rd period. The win keeps the Canucks alive but down three games to two, but Game 6 will be back in Vancouver where they could conceivably send the series to a Game 7 on Tuesday night. Catch the game on Versus in select DIRECTV packages at 9:30pm Eastern.

I'll catch up on Salo's injury on Wednesday, and recap this series at the same time. Get well, Sami Salo, your team needs you, and so do all of us puck fans!

The series has been relaunched several times over the years, most recently to great success in 2007. Known affectionately among collectors as “Wacky Packs,” as a creative force with artist Art Spiegelman, the stickers were illustrated by such notable comics artists as Kim Deitch, , Bill Griffith, Jay Lynch, and Norm Saunders.

BBC BREAKING NEWS (4) – AIR FRANCE PLANE MISSING / AVION MANQUANTES

Travel Guru — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:55:58 +0000

One of the British victims of the Air France plane disaster was a champion performer who starred in Riverdance. Eithne Walls, from Ballygowan, Northern Ireland, was returning home from a holiday in Brazil with two friends when the A330 Airbus disappeared from radar screens. It was also revealed that an 11-year-old schoolboy Alexander Bjoroy, a pupil at from Clifton College preparatory school, was travelling back to Bristol following a half-term break in Brazil.

Pilots flying a commercial jet from Paris to Rio de Janeiro for Brazil's largest airline, TAM, said they saw what they thought was fire in the ocean along the route taken by the missing plane yesterday.
Brazilian Air Force spokesman Col Jorge Amaral said authorities were investigating reports. 'There is information that the pilot of a TAM aircraft saw several orange points on the ocean while flying over the region ... where the Air France plane disappeared,' Col Amaral said. 'After arriving in Brazil, the pilot found out about the disappearance (of the Air France plane) and said that he thought those points on the ocean were fire.'

Mr Coakley, a design engineer, had been working in Brazil and was originally meant to fly home on May 19th, and then 27th. He was only put on this flight at the last minute.
His business partner Ken Pearce said the previous flight which he had hoped to board was full. Mrs Coakley said she still thought of her husband as missing.

'He's not dead, he's missing. We have to hope that he will walk through the front door. I've been trying his phone and it's still ringing, so I have hope.'

She added: 'I keep leaving messages for him, if his mobile was under the water it wouldn't keep taking the messages.'
As well as the Britons and three Irish citizens there were 61 French people and 58 Brazilians on board, with at least 20 Germans and several Italians.
A baby and seven children were among the passengers

The spot where the jet crashed has since been pinpointed within a few dozen square nautical miles paving the way for a multi-million pound salvage operation.

A massive search operation involving planes, ships and U.S. spy satellites had found no trace of the Airbus A330-200.
Flight AF 447 was four hours into its journey when it left the limits of Brazilian radar coverage, 350 miles out into the Atlantic. It was flying normally at 35,000 feet and 522 mph.
About half an hour later, it flew into what meteorologists called 'a thunderous zone with strong turbulence'. Fourteen minutes later, it sent an automatic message reporting the failure of an electrical circuit and a loss of cabin pressure.
When the Airbus, still out of range of any land-based radar, failed to make its next scheduled position report, the search operation was launched.
Planes took off from Fernando de Noronha, a string of more than 20 islands about 220 miles off the coast of Brazil.
It came as French intelligence agents from the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure) prepared to travel to Brazil to investigate a possible terrorist attack
Air France said today that the captain of the missing plane was 58 years-old and had worked for the airline since 1988. One of the co-pilots was 37 and had been with Air France since 1999. The other was 32 and had been with the airline since 2004.

Nobody has yet explained why pilots on the flight failed to make a Mayday Call something which would have taken a couple of seconds. Announcing the latest breakthrough in the enquiry, Air France director general Pierre-Henry Gourgeon said: The catastrophe which devastated us all happened half way between the Brazilian and African coasts and the area concerned has been circled.

The flight from Brazil to Paris is thought to have been hit by lightning from a tropical storm and suffered a catastrophic electrical failure. 'A succession of a dozen technical messages' showed that 'several electrical systems had broken down' which caused a 'totally unprecedented situation in the plane', said Pierre-Henry Gourgeon, chief executive of Air France .

If no survivors are found it will be the worst crash since 2001 and the biggest loss of life in Air France's 75-year history.
The plane had a 12-strong French crew, including three pilots led by a captain who had 11,000 hours flying experience, including 1,700 hours on the Airbus.
One of the Brazilians on board was Pedro Luis de Orleans e Braganca, a direct descendant of Dom Pedro II, the last emperor of Brazil, a spokesman for the royal family told Reuters.

Death By YTB Travel? (YTB International, “YTB Travel”)

Travel Guru — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:11:12 +0000

http://www.MORVacationsAmerica.com //==//

Are you a victim of YTB Travel looking to get in on one of the Federal Class Action cases?
Scott Tomer, CEO of YTB said. We are disappointed that the Illinois Attorney General has decided to take this action. The Company will vigorously defend this matter and we look forward to having the courts decide the merits of our case.
YTB International acknowledged in its 8K report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that a civil action was filed against YTB International, Inc. and executive officers of the company in the Superior Court of Illinois, Champaign County, by the Illinois Attorney General.
YTB travel agents have complained that they were misled about how much money they would make and often made less than what it cost them to join, according to a consumer fraud lawsuit Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed Thursday against YTB. The lawsuit seeks fines of $50,000 for every consumer fraud violation the court finds.
. The scam victims say they were misled by YTB Travel. They saw ads with people collecting $10,000 checks and driving expensive cars. The scam victims claim they were told people were making millions of dollars with YTB Travel. They were not told that the average members was making less than $50 a year in travel commissions while they paid about the same money each month just for the YTB Travel website fees.
Advertising from YTB Travel showed people holding $10,000 checks and driving luxury cars. The people YTB Travel was trying to entice into joining were told people were making millions of dollars with YTB Travel. The California Attorney General said most people never even earned a dime with YTB Travel.
. The more people members signed up, the more they made. Brown called YTB Travel a gigantic pyramid scheme. The California Attorney General sued YTB Travel Network for $25 million on behalf of those who said they were scam victims in California
