A Wish for the Weekend
We're only half-way through Friday and I feel like it's been the weekend for four days running, baby.
This sun is a wonder.
"This corn is an angel." (Name that movie.)
I'm here in my jeans and my red henley. Have mercy, do I ever want one more t-shirt and a skirt. STATE kind of stinks in that way that isn't really cured with a washing. I'm sorry for saying that your climate was more hospitable, Jen Hatmaker.
I keep thinking about that danged yellow gingham shirt with my turquoise cable knit v-neck vest. You understand.
The other pre-school moms look increasingly puzzled when they see me.
I bought a sweater for $4 a couple of months back that can only safely be worn when it's in the low 70s, which happens to be right now. It begs the question: Is it the best choice to buy a sweater (no matter how cheap) that can only be worn on a handful of days each year?
These are the kinds of things you'll find yourself thinking when you dive on in and wear the same thing every day for a month. For all of you saying, "I already do that!", well, prove it.
(I'm thinking more about the "7" food thing, too. Just fair warning.)
For now, I think I might take a shower. Is it weird that I shower in the middle of the day? I think so, too. But it's call "Silas". It's called, "he wakes before dawn, these days". It's called, "I begrudge the morning, so sue me." I shower when he naps. Then I don't want to use the blow dryer because it's too loud. Then I march around for the rest of the day with a head of the most regrettable hair.
You know what's funny? I came here with the intention of posting just the picture. Maybe a pithy line or two. I was going all bare-bones minimalist. I was going to shock your britches off.
And here we are, a few hundred senseless words later.
I truly don't know why you keep me around.

I am a grab a shower whenever I can gal, myself. Usually it is between The Hubs class and work (late morning) or if he is home around dinner time (I grab one then). His weird schedule and two littles determines when (and IF) I get clean. Because I am slow mover in the morning these days.ReplyDelete
P.S. we keep you around because we love you!
I took a shower today at 12:30. I took extra long and prayed extra hard since I had the time.ReplyDelete
It was fabulous. My hair hangs in shambles. I'm contemplating a one hour drive to a proper doughnut.
I bought new clothes this week for $1.00 each. Store was closing. I have two new tops, three skirts and four swimsuits. Shop that, baby.
Happy weekend to you and the Siles.
I got the 7 book, it is making me laugh in places and quake to my toes in places, and I know the last page will just be the beginning.I'm not sure the exact 7 is for me but I don't think that is really the point. I think my greed and God's all out love is most likely the point... I don't think I'd have come across it if you hadn't posted about it which would have been much more 'comfortable' but less exciting!ReplyDelete
Love all the happy I'm hearing in your posts despite the stinky tee! and isn't it a pain that scarecrow hair looks kind of cute when you are under 25 but increasingly alarming after that?!xReplies
B - I couldn't agree more about 7. I don't know that JH ever intended it to be a "thing" that everyone should do. I think it's great if some do, but I don't want to be too formulaic about it. Still, I'm seeing first-hand the truth of what she says - that intentional surrender and simplifying in a temporary, minor way makes room somehow for more of Him. It's one less thing in my day that takes up my time and energy and I'm learning things through it. Which is why, with much trepidation, I keep thinking about the food thing. Won't be the same as hers, but I think I'm gonna take the plunge. Oh crumbs!Delete
Here's why we keep you around.... Because SERIOUSLY? WHO has that much control over a water-color brush? (Just LOOK at that "C" !!!) I'm just sayin'. Your talents know no bounds.ReplyDelete
There are other reasons too. What? You want a list? LOL
p.s. I just got dressed. It is 1:47. I thought it might be nice for my son to come home from school and find his mom out of her jammies. Call me crazy.
Have a great weekend Shannan!
Oh my goodness, I'm awake for your post! I'm heading out the door for the library but wanted to check a few things first and wahoo! It's a good feeling. I had to google the movie line b/c I haven't seen an unanimated movie in exactly 7 years. ish. In fact I thought Calvin must've said it until you said "movie".ReplyDelete
I think about 7 mostly every day. And I haven't even read it yet. I'm mentally preparing, if that's possible.
Agree, agree, agree with Sally about the watercolors. The words, the heart, the love, yes please.

I am wearing a yellow gingham shirt right now. With pink sequin converse!ReplyDelete
We keep you around because you're REAL. This silly old world is overflowing with fake plastic everything. (Ah, Radiohead....) We all appreciate a little bit of realness now and again.ReplyDelete
Happy weekend!
I leep you around because you speak my sense of humor and I sure do need it as I sit and nurse a demanding newborn about a bajillion times a day. You are such a bright spot in my day. :) And I give a hearty "Amen, sista, I understand" in regards to showering in the middle of the day. There are some days that I celebrate that I am actually clean. And I think you are incredibly brave to wear only 7 pieces.ReplyDelete
i shower at weird times. my reason is named elijah. who also wakes before the sun.ReplyDelete
love this post AND that line. oh, dan. one of my top fave awkward movie moments!
love you, enjoy your SUN! xo
we keep you around because we LOVE you! :)ReplyDelete
Happy (real) weekend, hope your weather holds out.
We keep you around because you make us laugh and realize what a wonderful life we live.ReplyDelete
The more words you write the better in my book!ReplyDelete
I'm lucky if I even shower in a day. And that's even with a sweaty run thrown in. Let's face it, I'm way gross.
I'm so impressed with your painting. It's five times better than mine!!!
We keep you around cuz you keep it real. You say what we all wanna say but feel silly doing so. And the shower thing? I leave my kids crying in their beds in the am and quick get one in. But hair and makeup? forgetaboutit.ReplyDelete
It is also delightfully warm & sunny here today.ReplyDelete
So much so that I had to put our umbrella up on the back porch. It was actually getting too hot out there without some respite from the shade.
I told our dogs "summer seems to be here guys!" and then heard your voice (or more accurately, saw your words)saying something about "spring being offended that it hasn't been given a chance." <----SERIOUS paraphrase there!
To this question:
"This corn is an angel."
I honestly have no idea.
Field of Dreams?
Waiting to Exhale?
Do tell.
I have a fave shirt that also smells just odd & old. It's grey. Short sleeved. I don't ever want to get rid of it, but washing it in hot water, different smelling detergents..nothing works.
Do the other mothers look at you funny regarding your same clothing? I feel as if certain neighbors eye me that way. Again, I work from home. If you see me in the same SWEET yoga pants and a variety of the same neutral colored tank tops or shirts- don't assume they are A) the same or B) unwashed.
Mostly, I just don't care. I hate to say that with ONE particular weird & nosy neighbor, I almost welcome her stares & how she wonders. It's bizarre & I've found that feeding into it at times makes me laugh.
Enjoy your day!!
I don't know the movie. You musn't keep one in suspense. Things like this are why we hang around.ReplyDelete
just think of a mid day shower as luxury.ReplyDelete
I can handle 7 foods--and probably 7 clothes--although I think season change would be a new 7. Just so you don't get to the point of 7 words.ReplyDelete
- KirstenMarch 16, 2012 at 4:30 PM
i happened to shower before breakfast. which has done me absolutely no good since i've been out playing in the dirt and getting rid of all my 'winter interest' (since i've no further interest in winter!). and i'll need another one before i sleep tonight. lovely, lovely weather!ReplyDelete
I, too, shower when the littles are napping...cause seriously...that's the only time that I have to workout...lol! ;)ReplyDelete
Oh...and "Dan in Real Life" is one of my favorite movies...ever! :) Happy weekend!
Yep, we love you because you keep it real. And that movie is in my top 5.ReplyDelete
Have a fun weekend!
i can't WAIT to read her book!!!!ReplyDelete
glad you didn't stick to just a line or two...love when you chat it up with us.
Dan in Real Life. Personal fave. Except, I think his daughters are kind of jerks sometimes.ReplyDelete
I have a young one. I shower when she naps. But sometimes, the shower isn't until the afternoon nap. And although I spent much of my adolescence suppressing a head full of frizzy curls, they are making a come back since they require less time.
Glad for the sunshine and weekend as well. Blog on, sista friend!
There is many a day that I don't shower until late in the afternoon. Just works out that way. Happy weekend girlie. Btw I have a jacket that is the exact same. It has a three quarter length sleeves and can only be worn a few times a year. Still love it.ReplyDelete
- Maureen S.March 17, 2012 at 12:54 AM
This is what I think respectfully about the 7-9 clothes idea. Now keep in mind it is late and I have had a glass of wine. Although I love the idea in concept form of honoring HIM by simplifying our choices throughout the day, I am not sure I agree on this one. A dear friend was just diagnosed with a terminal illness and my feeling is life is short and if wearing your gingham shirt brings you joy, than that is not bad. If you are going out and buying something new that you do not need, I get that. But if it is hanging in your closet as a purchase from money earned honestly, is it more of a sin to have it in the closet or out in the light of day bringing joy to you and to others seeing you in it?? Just food for thougtht, I hope you don't take offense.ReplyDeleteReplies
No offense at all. For me, this has been a great exercise in intentionally simplifying one area of my life - just for a month or so. I agree, it's not "bad" to wear the gingham shirt! Just like it's not bad to eat food. This is a teeny, weeny bit like a regular old food fast. It's just consciously letting go in an effort to draw closer to the heart of Jesus. I will always find joy in clothes and my home, etc... but I want to be able to find joy without those things, too. Between my current living situation and now my wardrobe thingy, I'm learning that I can. I wasn't entirely sure before! And I still have my moments with both. (Especially the rental.) I would encourage you to check out her book. I think she's much better at communicating the heart of this simplifying than I am. :) Thanks for your comment.Delete
Have a wonderful weekend! I am jealous of those springy pics from the previous post, we still have loads of snow :-( Thankfully, it should all melt with the warm temps on the way!ReplyDelete
Love the water-colour pic....sweet!
Blessings to you!
I'm finding that i have to do laundry a bit more. Because my kids are messy and their messy ends up on me in different kinds of handprint forms. Therefor the few shirts that I have whittled by wardrobe down to get circulated pretty quick. I too have thought of how Jen Hatmaker had it a little better with the Texas weather - she didn't try this in Indiana during the changing of the seasons now did she?! But that's me complaining. Enough now, i'm off to do laundry.ReplyDelete
so sweet... ;)ReplyDelete
Because you make me smile, and reflect, and want to be more in love with God- that's why!!ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
I take showers whenever I can. Weather it's 6am or 8pm. my children seem to rule the roost and well, I do my best to survive most days. Meaning, shower when I can, wear clean clothes when I can.ReplyDelete
Why do we keep you around? Simple. We love you for making us understand we aren't alone.
I like your senseless words.ReplyDelete
Hi there :) I just want to say I am a classic non-relplyer decorator/blogger wanna be and I have been endlessly inspired by reading every "senseless" word you have to say! Thank you so much for your realness and ability to use words to even help me decorate my home...and have such a more meaningful perspective. Bless you much!ReplyDelete
I'm glad you're chatty.ReplyDelete
I too shower in the middle of the day (if I'm not getting up and going to work). I'm not a morning person and would prefer to lounge around in pjs, or get housework done before I'm clean and dressed.
I'm becoming more and intrigued by your 7 items of clothing. I (technically) have a uniform to work, but I get bored so I change it up often, but that takes out some of the difficulty of choosing only 7 items. Now tell me, do pantyhose count?
This reminds me of you and your tiny village (family). It takes a family to raise village!! http://realestate.msn.com/inner-city-suburbsReplyDelete
Okay, so I'm home from work in a post-migraine stupor reading through your Faith section when I come across your reference to Jen Hatmaker. Now, I've seen the name, but somehow...Yeah, I know the words living under a rock seem appropriate - somehow I had not read her before.ReplyDelete
So, having bookmarked all of her books on Pinterest - how can she not be on it? - I headed off to bhwomen.com and found out there were previews of 7.
Ugh. My family will hate me. I so need 7 right now. Maybe I can just read it and live vicariously. Sure, that's the ticket.
(Then I headed over to audible.com and got sort of snotty, um, expressed my disapointment, that they had an audiobook from Brandon (which is great) but not the 8 or so books of his wife. Then I headed off to amazon only to find out they apparently haven't MADE an audiobook yet of 7. I didn't check the other books. Um, dear Mike, from audible.com, so sorry, it was me, not you.)
So, long story short, thanks for just happening to mention the Kony rock throwing post of Jen's. It's made my day. (Not Mike's though. Sorry Mike.)

text: Top Stories 0 Comments Share Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs' buying and selling Grace expects Greinke trade to have emotional impact Especially, you know, when you factor in a good running game, solid special teams play and the six turnovers Arizona came up with.Why were the Cardinals unable to produce on those drives? Well, you can probably start with the decision made by Ken Whisenhunt to bench starter John Skelton. Benching the inaccurate Skelton isn't unwise in a vacuum, but consider the circumstances surrounding the benching. Arizona was coming off their bye week, giving them a two-week stretch where they chose to do nothing about Skelton's middling play and continued to give the former Fordham quarterback the first-team reps in practice. Yet after a 2-for-7 start at the beginning of the game against Atlanta, Whisenhunt chose to bench Skelton — who had a 13-0 lead at the time — for rookie sixth-rounder Ryan Lindley, who proceeded to go for 9-for-20 for 64 yards while losing a fumble that was recovered for a (bizarre) touchdown. As the article notes, the cumulative stats of quarterbacks picked in the sixth or seventh rounds when playing as rookies are bad (434-for-819, 4,082 yards, 21 touchdowns, 40 interceptions), so it's not as if it would have been fair to expect Lindley to perform at a high level. Add in the fact that he probably didn't receive the starter's share of reps in practice last week, and you have a recipe for anything but success. Ultimately the decision contributed to a loss, which was the Cardinals sixth in a row. The team's record has plummeted from 4-0 to 4-6, and there is little hope on the horizon, even if Kevin Kolb returns to the lineup soon.Their hot streak roughly coincided with the time Kevin Kolb spent in the lineup before getting injured, but don't get correlation and causation confused. Had Kolb stayed healthy, Whisenhunt would probably have found a reason to bench him, too. If this once-promising Arizona season continues to fall apart à la last year's Buccaneers or Bills and Whisenhunt ends up paying for it with his job, his inability to handle the quarterback position will have been his downfall. Could be. – / 18 Barnwell says Whisenhunt's move to bench Skelton was "short-sighted on both ends."For one, benching Skelton after seven passes without an interception is absurd. If Whisenhunt is going to cycle through his quarterbacks on whims that quickly, he's going to end up with three quarterbacks who have absolutely no confidence, something that has happened to him and his team in virtually every season that didn't involve Kurt Warner holding the job all year. And if Skelton's leash was really only seven bad passes long, Whisenhunt should have realized that before the bye and made the move to Lindley in advance, giving the rookie a week of practice (and two weeks of mental preparation) before unleashing him into a key game on the road against a playoff team. Those are all fair points, as the move to Lindley backfired and one could believe sticking with Skelton would have resulted in a win Sunday. The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes' introduction of Alex Meruelo The Arizona Cardinals' quarterback issues have become a national punchline of sorts.Bill Barnwell of Grantland.com, which is the somewhat comical side of ESPN run by Bill Simmons, wrote a story on Week 11 in the NFL, with the headline "Arizona's Revolving QB Door."According to Barnwell, a 'point probability estimator' figured the Cardinals should have scored 24 against the Falcons, so the 19 they came up with was certainly a disappointment.

The Four Corners School of Outdoor Education has announced that construction will begin this spring on its new campus, the Canyon Country Discovery Center, just north of Monticello, Utah.
The Discovery Center will feature a 22,000 square-foot facility on 48 acres, including an exhibit hall with hands-on interactive learning stations, a night sky observatory, Discovery Theatre, administrative offices, and 5 miles of walking/ski trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and more.
The Discovery Center will also serve as a community resource with a library and field laboratory, classrooms, and meeting spaces large enough to accommodate community meetings and conferences of up to 150 people. Visitor areas feature hands-on learning stations that will provide insight into the Canyon Country of the Colorado Plateau. Areas of emphasis include natural history, human history, land use and energy, water resources, and astronomy and weather.
"There is a tremendous amount of momentum right now throughout Utah for expanding our recreational infrastructure in order to significantly grow tourism and the recreation economies in rural communities," said Brad Peterson, Director of the Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation.
"The Four Corners School supports the state's outdoor recreation vision and objectives by creating a unique destination, that highlights the recreational opportunities, culture, history and beauty of the Canyon Country."
Four Corners School has led a multiyear effort to build the Discovery Center. While not all funds have been raised, they are close. The School will hire six new staff members this year and eight more in 2015. Substantial investments in the school have come from a variety of public and private sources.
So far $8.2 million has been raised so far for the new school. Funding includes $1.59 million from the Economic Development Administration as well as matching funds from several generous private donors.
"We are in awe of the generosity of the private donors and the support of government entities," said Steve Munsell, Four Corners School Board chair. "The school is a significant investment in the future of Monticello and the canyon country of the Colorado Plateau."
Major private donors include Jennifer Speers, Hansjoerg Wyss, the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, David Bonderman, the Janet Quinney Lawson Foundation, Utah Cares Foundation, Val A. Browning Foundation, and Four Corners School Board members.
The Discovery Center is expected to help jump-start economic development in Monticello, Utah. Monticello is located at the center of the Colorado Plateau that includes parts of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. It is an area of diverse cultures, vibrant businesses, and stunning natural resources. More than two million visitors from all over the world pass through Monticello each year. The Discovery Center will give them a place to stop, learn, and utilize local businesses, promoters say. The Discovery Center will also bring new jobs to the area, and increase revenue to motels, gas stations, restaurants, construction workers, gift shops, and outfitters.
"I feel that this project has the potential to have a huge positive impact on the local economy," said Tim Young, the new mayor of Monticello. "I am excited to have such a unique facility here. This facility is one more piece of the larger puzzle that makes Monticello a truly great place to both live and visit."
The investment from the Economic Development Administration was a big piece in reaching the campaign goal. "This investment is an example of our commitment to creating jobs and promoting our nation's economic competitiveness," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. "This grant will support the growth of the tourism cluster in the region, and create or save approximately 33 jobs, in addition to leveraging millions of dollars in private investment."
Lisa Eccles, President & COO of the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, extended congratulations to Four Corners School for its progress in "bringing the dreams for this project to life." She added, "We are pleased to support this exciting project, knowing it will serve not only as an important educational center, but also will attract thousands of new visitors and generate economic benefits for the citizens of the Monticello area."
The facility itself will be LEED certified, featuring a high level of sustainable building and construction elements. Construction will begin in June 2014, and the Discovery Center will open in summer 2015. Utility infrastructure, highway turn lanes, an observatory, yurt, walking trails and five picnic pavilions were completed in 2013.
The Discovery Center is a public-private partnership between the City of Monticello's Economic Development Committee and the Four Corners School of Outdoor Education, based in Monticello, Utah since 1984. The mission of Four Corners School is to create lifelong learning experiences about the Colorado Plateau region for people of all ages and backgrounds through education, service, adventure, and conservation programs.

Would one LED be dimmer than the other as I suspect, with the other drawing a larger share of the current?
And come to think of it... If I were to try to measure the voltage drop across the LEDs, what would I read, with the anodes and cathodes connected like that? Would it be the average of the two voltage drops? Or the smaller of the two?
If the two LEDs are exactly the same type, then you may find that they share the current quite well. I once took apart a toy light sabre, and it had 16 green LEDs connected in parallel, with no resistors to balance the current. Amazingly, the brightness was fairly uniform across all the LEDs.
These LEDs are attached to a constant current driver. So there's no worries about that happening.
Quote from: scswift on Dec 30, 2012, 10:24 amThese LEDs are attached to a constant current driver. So there's no worries about that happening.He's got you there, Mike...
And there is some kind of reflection issue in the data lines when I have more than six modules in series, where the LEDs on the last few modules will be messed up.
Well only because he is running the LEDs at less than half the rated current so there is little point in having two anyway. The fact remains putting two LEDs in parallel is just plane stupid design.
It may not be efficient to put two LEDs in parallel attached to a constant current source only capable of sourcing 20mA, but the consideration here is for aesthetics, not efficiency.
TI's datasheets make no mention of any special layout
Also, I'm not familiar with buffering, but if by that you mean put another chip on the line, that seems like it would be way too expensive,

Navy Cash®/Marine CashSM
What is Navy Cash/Marine Cash?
The Navy Cash/Marine Cash card is a branded debit card that looks like a typical debit or check card. Navy Cash/Marine Cash combines a chip-based electronic purse (stored-value function) with the traditional magnetic stripe (debit card and ATM function). The electronic purse replaces currency aboard ship.
Navy Cash/Marine Cash was developed in partnership with Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps, and the Department of the Treasury.
Who Can Use Navy Cash/Marine Cash?
If you're permanently assigned to a ship, you're eligible to receive a Navy Cash/Marine Cash card. Also, if you're a visitor, you can be issued a Navy Cash/Marine Cash 'Visitors card' while aboard the ship.
What are the benfits of Navy Cash/Marine Cash?
The magnetic stripe and branded debit features give you access to your funds in your Navy Cash/Marine Cash accounts world-wide via Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and point-of-sale (POS) devices at merchants who accept debit cards.
If you choose the Split Pay Option, you may designate a portion of your pay be sent directly to your Navy/Marine Cash accounts each payday. Cashless ATMs aboard ship provide 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week access to Navy Cash/Marine Cash accounts.
The cashless ATMs also provide you with access to accounts at financial institutions ashore and the ability to move money electronically to and from Navy Cash/Marine Cash accounts and your accounts at the financial institution.
How do you enroll in Navy Cash/Marine Cash?
You must be enrolled in the program to open a Navy/Marine Cash account. You have to complete the Form 2887, sign and date the form, and give it to your Disbursing Office (DO) or designated representative.
Bring a copy of a cancelled check or deposit slip from your financial institution to the DO or designee. The DO or designee will verify the account information entered on the Form 2887 with the cancelled check or deposit slip.
The completed and signed Form 2887 is sent to the Department of the Treasury's designated financial agent who is authorized to initiate debit and credit entries to your financial institution.
After Form 2887 is processed, you'll be able to transfer funds between your financial institution and the Navy/Marine Cash account. The DO retains a copy of all enrollment forms completed on the ship.

Press Release
Verona, PA – The Rick Santorum for President campaign is proud to announce that it has chosen "Remember Who We Are" by Nashville artist Krista Branch as one of its theme songs.
Rick Santorum said: "Our campaign has focused on returning to a government that believes in the American people again, and few songs express the beauty and strength of who we are as free Americans better than Krista's. 'It's our time,' as the song says – our time to take a firm, unwavering stand against big government; and it is our time to take our country back.
Our campaign is a grassroots bottom-up movement – not a top-down, Washington insider campaign. We are supported by men and women across this country who understand what it means to be free. We must remember who we are, and that we are blessed to be a nation of free people. We have a responsibility to reclaim the foundation of freedom in its fullest sense – and to do everything we can to restore and preserve it for our children and grandchildren."
Krista Branch – "Remember Who We Are" is available to download on ITunes.

A visual and acoustic reinterpretation of a geolocated soundwalk by the Audiotopie collective, Dislocation is an improvised performance that rounds up an intriguing spate of stroboscopic frescoes and syncopated rhythms. Roche Ovale (Éric Andrade, Marc-André Provencher, Étienne Legast and David Martin) and Thierry Gauthier, who all share a keen interest in electroacoustic experimentation, make use of data bending, semi-random generation and analog synthesis, to create hypnotic, ever-expanding projections based on a cornucopia of city sounds and images. Their expressionistic, interactive project amplifies the most minute of sonic fluctuations.

Let's say you want to make a layout like this:
That's reasonable right? Especially if your article was about cats liking to be the CENTER of attention. GET IT?! (Kitten via PlaceKitten).
Well this isn't particularly easy to do. Our current layout methods aren't really built with this in mind. In fact sometimes they feel like they don't really have "web design" in mind. AM I RIGHT? Even the bleeding edge CSS layout systems I don't think would handle this very well. This is a little bit like
float, as the text wraps around the image, but the text wraps around both directions, so it would be a bit like
float: center; or
float: both; which don't exist.
But this is doable! Proof:
We're going to do it by using floated pseudo element placeholders. We'll put one in each column of text1, one floated left, one floated right. The pseudo element should be the height of the image, and half of the width (or so... remember you'll want some padding and there is the gutter to factor in).
#l:before, #r:before {
content: "";
width: 125px;
height: 250px;
#l:before {
float: right;
#r:before {
float: left;
Now there is a hole in the text ready to place our image there. We could do that by absolute positioning it there, as in the demo. Or you could just leave it in an element above, centered, and use negative top margin on the columns to pull the text up around.
1 Note we're using div's for the columns of text, not CSS columns, which would be cooler and more semantic, but it's not going to happen.

At airports, fliers' shopping options multiply
- Several airports in U.S.%2C Canada expand high-end shopping options
- Denver plans widescale overhaul of food%2C beverage and retail choices
- Changes make layovers more enjoyable
Airports are looking more like bustling bazaars these days.
A number of airports around the U.S. and Canada are expanding their retail areas with high-end shopping options laid out in ways that make them seem more like town centers than drab airport concourses.
It used to be that only international travelers would have access to Bulgari perfume, iPods, Louis Vuitton bags and Lancome creams. But now the concept of shopping has moved beyond the duty-free zone.
Denver International Airport will undergo a complete overhaul of its food and beverage and retail options over the next three years. A new rail station will mean that 9,000 acres of airport land beyond the terminals will also see a lot of activity. The airport plans to have mixed-use developments built with shops, restaurants, offices and residences over the next couple of decades.
Los Angeles International Airport's new Bradley West International Terminal has more than 60 new food and luxury retail establishments, including Michael Kors and Fred Segal and a Great Hall for passengers to gather.
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport's Terminal A will have 50% more space for concessions and retailers by the end of the month.
And Vancouver International Airport will have an entire stand-alone outlet mall adjacent to the airport terminal in 2014.
Matt Honegger, an architect specializing in airports at Fentress Architects in Denver, says now that passengers have to arrive earlier to get through security, airports have to offer them many more options to keep them busy.
"That's one of the biggest frustrations for travelers: delays, layovers," he says. "To make that easier, we're seeing gardens, and better shopping, better dining and healthier dining."
Airports are maximizing the value of their land at a time when airline bankruptcies and mergers mean less from the rental fees they charge the carriers. They also are tapping into travelers' increasing thirst for shopping in transit.
"Customers are used to wide choice. They go to the mall near their home, and they come to the airport and expect that," says John Ackerman, chief commercial officer of Denver's airport.
It's paying off for the airports.
Revenue for concessions, including food, beverage and retail, was $1.51 billion in 2011, up 12% from 2010, according to the industry group Airports Council International-North America. Spending on retail represents about 40% of that.
Doubled sales
Indicative is Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), which has added more shopping and dining options. Sales there have more than doubled since 2003, says Jim Walsh, chief financial officer. Net revenue was $12 million last year, up from $5.5 million in 2003.
"Airports are looking to try to make themselves as financially self-sufficient as they can to enhance their financial position and also to buttress themselves against the winds of uncertainty in the traditional airport marketplace with airline consolidation," says Chris Oswald, a vice president at the airports council.
He says airports also are responding to customers' wishes.
"There has been, certainly, a trend away from the generic non-branded news and gift stores to higher-end, more appealing and, in many cases, locally themed concessions that kind of blend into the airport's role as gateways into the community," he says.
Ellen Davis, a frequent traveler from Peachtree City, Ga., says she likes the option of shopping when she travels. "It gives me an opportunity to pick up a last-minute gift or two," she says.
She likes Orlando's airport because she can pick up Disney-themed gifts. Her favorite airport for shopping is outside the U.S., at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport. She once picked up champagne there to take to Egypt to toast the start of a Nile cruise.
Tim Riemenschneider, a director of sales in New Richmond, Wis., says he particularly likes the shopping at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
"It is great to be able to peruse different stores," he says. "It gives me great ideas for gift purchases and also allows me to find things for myself."
Not everyone has the urge to shop.
Pauline Weaver, an attorney in Fremont, Calif., says she shops at an airport only if she forgets to pack something she needs for a trip. "When I have time in an airport, I want to sit, relax, and read or work, not shop," she says. That said, she once scored a beautiful blue and green jacket while waiting for a flight.
Catching up
U.S. airports have lagged behind many in Asia and Europe, which long ago turned into marketplaces and entertainment districts. Singapore's Changi airport, for instance, has indoor gardens and an entire level in one terminal for shopping and dining.
The U.S. is now catching up, Honegger says. He points to the new terminal in Los Angeles, where high-end retail and dining are now grouped in one central building.
Denver's 18-year-old airport needed an update, Ackerman says. "Our offerings to our customers are good, but some of the concepts are dated," he says.
That's why 100 of the stores and restaurants will be updated or replaced with more modern offerings. It also has about 40 kiosks with seasonal items scattered throughout.
"We turned unproductive space into revenue-generating areas," he says.
Dallas' makeover also was overdue, says airport spokesman David Magana. The original terminal opened in 1974, "a time when you didn't have a lot of airport concessions and things like that because you mostly got fed on the plane," he says.
New retail options will include stores where travelers can buy toys, leather goods and mobile devices, and eat sushi and barbecue.
Atlanta's airport will have more than 100 new concessions by next year. One of the first free-standing Spanx stores targeting female business travelers opened there in August.
"We're bringing in more and more big names," says Paul Brown, director of concessions.
Perhaps the most intense airport shopping experience will take place in Vancouver. A 400,000-square-foot luxury outlet mall developed by British-based McArthurGlen Group is to open in fall 2014 next to the terminal and train station.
McArthurGlen CEO Julia Calabrese says the goal there is to appeal to the many Asian tourists who tend to shop for luxury goods.
"We hope to capture tourists on the way in and on the way out of the airport," she says. "Location, location, location. It's a great location."

Was that really a Chargers general manager making the short trek from his second-story office to the team's media center, a creaky double-wide trailer?
"I've never been in here before,'' Tom Telesco said, and we had to rub our eyes, too.
As the Chargers' rookie GM readies for Thursday's draft, if nothing else, Telesco's different from his predecessor.
And that's a plus.
For years A.J. Smith refused to visit the press area for draft previews, unable to stomach criticism in such a public manner.
Then again, if your resume showed as many first-round clunkers as Smith's, no wonder he played chicken.
But there was a peppy Telesco, breaking from his draft board to spread what GMs distribute this time of the year.
In NFL circles, April has its own moniker: "Liars Month".
It's when GMs snooker rivals by fibbing, producing smoke screens, inviting players for visits they have no intention of selecting and raving about others they have no interest in drafting.
But in listening to Telesco converse about everything, and nothing in particular, we hope he's not this green come next week.
Or was he just being coy, which is our assumption.
When asked to cite areas that need addressing, he declined.
"I know one thing, we are trying to add some team speed,'' he said, and surprisingly, the earth didn't fall off its axis.
Team speed?
Telesco missed a chance to cross his fingers and let 'er rip. Tell the world you need defensive ends, when offensive linemen is what you seek. Get the word out your wide receivers are set, then double-back reviewing tapes for pass-catchers.
Where's the savvy hoodwinking any GM worth his stopwatch makes, leaking clues to sidetrack those picking around him?
"Do you want us to give away all of our draft tips?'' coach Mike McCoy asked, and wouldn't that have been a grand head's up before Smith took linebacker Larry English over Clay Matthews. "We need all positions.''
Our position? Telesco, 40, is young but not dumb, and will do fine come Thursday.
Telesco needs a rabbit foot to fortify the various weaknesses, and that works in his favor.
"We don't rank our needs,'' Telesco said.
Allow us: Get some big uglies up front, fill the void at defensive tackle, find an inside linebacker, locate a cornerback and strong safety.
"We listen to everyone's opinion,'' Telesco said, and if only Smith had been so smart before selecting cornerback Antoine Cason over running back Ray Rice.
But Telesco isn't Smith, and that's a bonus. Instead of Smith proving he's the smartest man in the draft room, Telesco will consult others to reach a consensus.
Chargers scouts recall draft meetings with Smith, where he asked their input. But did Smith put credence in their beliefs? Did he trust their observations?
"He would listen, but we never knew who he was going to pick,'' one scout said. "We would be as surprised as everyone else when the name came down.''
Expect Thursday's name to be a defensive tackle: Utah's Star Lotulelei or Missouri's Sheldon Richardson.
Alabama guard Chance Warmack would be super, but snagging a guard at No. 11? Too high.
Unfortunately the top three tackles won't be available: Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, Central Michigan's Eric Fisher and Oklahoma's Lane Johnson.
Unless Telesco gets crafty and climbs the board – be careful, as we present running back Ryan Mathews as proof – his tackle will come later.
The Chargers need mucho, amigo, and trading down is more plausible than heading the opposite way.
The Chargers are rebuilding. The veterans released and lack of proven hands replacing them is telling. The Chargers' brass spouts about winning now, but it's clear George Allen isn't constructing this roster.
Instead from the fog of three dismal seasons emerges Telesco. We doubt he'll duplicate Smith's rookie blunder, and it was a dandy.
An untested Smith skipped future All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu for defensive backs Sammy Davis and Terrence Kiel in 2003.
The Chargers can't afford another colossal blunder. Telesco's not made of Teflon, but we predict praise, not blame, after navigating his first draft.

Jeanco necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 32 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Website showcasing an artist's paintings and related items (events, art shows, workshops, etc)
We need a new design for this website and we want to leave the details fairly open so you can use your creativity to show us what you have.
The website's primary purpose is to showcase and sell the artist's paintings. A quick rundown of what the site will do:
1. Display and sell artwork. Art will be of different types using different mediums. Although most of the pieces will be by the main artist we will also be showcasing work done by others.
2. Provide information about workshops and upcoming art shows, etc
3. Some of the paintings may also be accompanied a short video explaining the story behind the painting. The story behind where each painting comes from is a big selling point.
A few paintings will be featured on the front page. We'd like to see this page designed. The front page should contain:
- an excerpt from the latest blog entry. We will be setting up a blog for the artist as well. I'd like to have an excerpt from the latest blog post on the main page (from the rss feed)
- an area for a brief welcome message for first time visitors. If it is a returning visitor, they would see a brief list of upcoming events (workshops, art shows, etc)
- a few featured paintings. I was thinking something along the lines of a picture of the painting along with the video description beside it (or the text description if no video is available).
- Artsy, edgy, appeals to youth
but able to be used by older people (easy navigation, etc)
- Clean, crisp design
- Sunflower(s) of some nature
must be incorporated into the design.The sunflower is important to the artist here. Whether its one big sunflower or a group of smaller ones or something completely different is up to you, but it needs to be there.
- Don't want it to be dark
feeling. Dark designs are fine (in fact, the artist quite likes them). What we mean here is none of the flowers-coming-out-of-skulls type of "dark".
- No country-cutesy feelings sunflower

Following in the footsteps of classic feminist manifestos like The Feminine Mystique and Our Bodies, Ourselves, Rage Becomes Her is an eye-opening book for the twenty-first century woman: an engaging, accessible credo offering us the tools to re-understand our anger and harness its power to create lasting positive change.
Contrary to the rhetoric of popular "self-help" and an entire lifetime of being told otherwise, our rage is one of the most important resources we have, our sharpest tool against both personal and political oppression. We've been told for so long to bottle up our anger, letting it corrode our bodies and minds in ways we don't even realize. Yet our anger is a vital instrument, our radar for injustice and a catalyst for change. On the flip side, the societal and cultural belittlement of our anger is a cunning way of limiting and controlling our power.
We are so often told to resist our rage or punished for justifiably expressing it, yet how many remarkable achievements in this world would never have gotten off the ground without the kernel of anger that fueled them? Rage Becomes Her makes the case that anger is not what gets in our way, it is our way, sparking a new understanding of one of our core emotions that will give women a liberating sense of why their anger matters and connect them to an entire universe of women no longer interested in making nice at all costs.

Your loss, our gain Six men in the Chicago Office are responsible for reducing the staff by 156 pounds. Their feat will go down in Firm annals as The Great Chicago Weigh-ln. Are you ready? It's a contest of three two-man teams who want to trim their personal inventories of poundage; best two out of six with the losers to pay off the victors at the rate of one dollar per pound. Competitors are partners Bob Skeehan and John Walsh versus principals Bob Gordon and Stu Richardson versus office manager John McNamara and assignment director Bob Hafner. Let us go back to the historic day of Monday, January 4, 1971. Starting weights are posted at the scales of the Mid-Day Club of the First National Bank Building. The event: A two-month tug-of-war of notched-tight beltlines. Senior accountant Pat Daly of the tax department is named as referee and statistician. The opening day lineup: Bob Skeehan at 229 pounds and John Walsh at 200; Bob Gordon at 184 pounds and Stu Richardson at 194; Bob Hafner at 225 and John McNamara at 186. They're off and panting! Time passes. Diet theories are studied and practiced. Martinis and mashed potatoes are eschewed. Exercise is stepped up. Eight weeks go by. It is now Monday, March 1, at the Mid-Day Club. The contestants are lined up and a hush greets each man as he moves onto the scales. Referee Pat Daly watches the sliding weight as it moves carefully to the proper point. And the winner is... What! What! Can it be...? Yes, there's a tie for first place! The team of Skeehan and Walsh matches the team of McNamara and Hafner in weight lost: fifty-five pounds down for each team. Despite a gallant try going into the waist stretch, the team of Gordon and Richardson is edged out by a nine-pound difference—the other two teams split up a dollar per pound purse of $9. Individual results: Bob Skeehan, 196 pounds (33 pounds lighter than before}; John Walsh, 178 pounds (22 pounds lighter); Bob Gordon, 159 pounds (25 pounds); Stu Richardson, 173 (21); Bob Hafner, 192 (33); John McNamara, 164 (22). It is decided that the battle of the beltline will require additional weigh-ins in coming months to see if the contestants have been able to maintain diet discipline, Interviewed after the contest, 33-pound loser Bob Skeehan confirmed, "I feel much better. I have a lot more vitality, it was something I needed to do." He said that his training method emphasized the now popular Dr. Stillman's Quick Weight Loss Diet—plenty of lean protein foods 18 and at least eight glasses of water a day. (The Chicago Office water fountains reportedly got a heavier than usual play during the competition.) Reports are that other accountants and staffers are emulating the plucky contestants. Besides, the office can use the extra room. • Underground man It hasn't all been done yet. Men have walked on the moon, climbed to the top of Mount Everest, and sledged to both poles. Yet there are still places left for the vigorous and adventurous to explore, and some of them are right under our feet. Jim Kappeler, staff accountant in the Columbus Office, is a spelunker—an explorer of caves. (See photo, p. 7.) As often as possible on weekends, Jim and his wife Judy head for Mammoth Cave National Park in the hills of Kentucky where they join a team of spelunkers involved in an ambitious program of cave surveying. At the moment they are working in the Flint Ridge Cave System of the park.

"Raw" bumped to Staples Center; McMahon still peeved at Kroenke
Vince McMahon told me today that WWE is moving Monday Night Raw to the Staples Center in L.A. on Memorial Day. The organization has scheduled a make-up event for Aug. 7 at the Denver Coliseum for fans who have tickets to the original show that was slated for the Pepsi Center.
Kroenke Sports Enterprises, owner of the Pepsi Center and the Denver Nuggets, bumped the WWE after the NBA scheduled Game 4 of the Western Conference finals between the Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers for Monday night.
McMahon was clearly still irked at Kroenke Wednesday afternoon.
"We respect our audience and we always do the right thing for them, unlike the way WWE has been treated by Kroenke's management. We've been treated so shabbily," McMahon said. "Not only have they thrown us out, they've tried to trample on top of us after they threw us out."
He said Kroenke offered to pay any incremental costs WWE would have incurred as a result of the scheduling conflict only if WWE agreed to a joint press release.
He promised to poke fun at Stan Kroenke and the Nuggets during Monday night's show at Staples. He plans to stage a wrestling match-up between the Nuggets and Lakers and a confrontation between himself and an actor posing as Stan the Man.

IUCN is pleased to announce the release of a policy and legislation gap analysis for marine protected areas in the Fiji Islands. The paper was prepared on behalf of the IUCN Regional Office for Oceania, at the request of the WWF South Pacific Programme, and was co-authored by IUCN Commission on Environmental Law (CEL) member, Ms Erika Techera, and IUCN Legal Research Intern, Ms Shauna Troniak.
"In this report, the authors provide a thoughtful analysis of key legal and policy issues associated with the establishment of marine protected areas in Fiji, with a particular emphasis on the role of local communities in the management of coastal marine resources," said Pepe Clarke, IUCN CEL Regional Focal Point for Oceania.
In particular, the authors recommend:
• harmonisation of existing laws and policies to improve administration and reduce fragmentation;
• amendments to fisheries legislation to allow greater community involvement in designation and management of inshore marine protected areas;
• adoption of comprehensive protected area legislation to support the establishment of inshore and offshore marine protected areas; and
• strengthening the locally management marine area (LMMA) network in Fiji.
Author Profiles:
Ms Techera is a senior lecturer with the Macquarie University Centre for Environmental Law in Sydney, Australia. She lectures in environmental and marine biodiversity law and has a specialist research interest in the recognition of customary law and community-based conservation in the South Pacific. She has recently completed her PhD thesis on the topic 'The Role of Customary Law in Community-based Marine Management in the South Pacific'. Ms Techera is a member of the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas.
Ms Troniak completed a three month legal internship with the IUCN Regional Office for Oceania in 2008. During her internship, she undertook significant research on legal issues related to community-based management of marine resources in Fiji, including a series of interviews with key stakeholders. She has previously worked with the International Institute for Sustainable Development in Winnipeg, the University of Quebec in Ottawa, and the World Bank in Washington, DC. Her internship was made possible by the Intensive Program in Aboriginal Lands, Resources and Governments at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto.

Legoland unveils Star Wars expansion | News
Winter Haven, Florida -- Legoland Florida will add a Star Wars-themed expansion before the end of the year.
The theme park announced the 1.5 million LEGO brick addition Thursday morning in an event complete with a walking, light saber-waving LEGO Darth Vader.
Can't watch the video? Click here for photos
The Star Wars Miniland area will feature seven famous scenes from the Star Wars movies and Clone Wars TV series.
Re-created moments include the battle with giant walkers on the ice planet Hoth, the Ewok resistance on the Endor moon, and Luke Skywalker's home planet Tatooine.
The movie moments are made out of one-and-a-half million LEGO bricks, with more than 2,000 individual models. There are little details, too; you can spot a teeny Yoda in one of the ships.
A similar Star Wars Miniland is part of Legoland California. The Star Wars universe matches Legoland's target audience of 2- to 12-year old kids.
Like the Star Wars Miniland area in California, Florida will have a nearly full-size LEGO representation of Darth Maul ready for you to pose alongside.
Legoland Florida says the Star Wars expansion in Winter Haven should open in November.
There may be another expansion coming, too.
Theme park watching websites say the park has filed for permits with the Southwest Florida Water Management District to build a whole new themed land with rides and shops.
According to one website, the area's called Pirate Shores, and it'll have two new attractions and two water playgrounds.
At the presentation unveiling the Star Wars area Thursday, park general manager Adrian Jones dismissed that pirate project as a rumor.
We all want to know how the park is doing -- are people coming? Is it succeeding, despite not being in Orlando? The signs seem to point to "yes."
The park has never released attendance figures, but Jones said they've had "phenomenal success," with crowds exceeding their expectations.
They've already re-opened the water park next door, and they'll have at least one expansion added to the main park before its second birthday in October 2013.

SEAN ST LEDGER has urged the Republic of Ireland not to allow the ghosts of Euro 2012 and their German nightmare ruin their hopes of World Cup qualification.
Ireland head for Sweden tomorrow evening and then welcome Austria to the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday knowing their Group C campaign will be effectively over if they do not emerge with a healthy return from the double-header.
They will do so having seen their efforts to shake off the disaster in Poland and Ukraine last summer partially derailed by a 6-1 home defeat by Germany in Dublin in October.
But St Ledger said: "The biggest thing I took from the Euros - we obviously didn't do very well and it was disheartening - but sometimes you hold your hands up and you say you are playing against better players and you are playing against great teams.
"Spain will probably go down as one of the best teams of all time, and Germany wouldn't be too far behind them.
"I think they are an exceptional side, and if you look at Bayern Munich and how well they are doing in the Champions League at the moment, you would say the future is bright for German football.
"I don't think when you lose to a side like that you take too much because they are exceptional."
The Republic bounced back from their mauling by the Germans with a 4-1 victory in the Faroe Islands four days later with the knives out for manager Giovanni Trapattoni.
On the same evening, the Swedes recovered from a 4-0 deficit in Berlin to draw 4-4, and that result alone will mean the Italian and his players will be under no illusions as to how difficult their task in Stockholm will be.
St Ledger said: "It's a big game. When the group was drawn out, you would probably have said realistically Germany are going to win the group and you are really fighting it out for second.
"Sweden have got a brilliant record of qualifying for major tournaments, so we know what a tough game it's going to be.
"They had a really good result, coming back against Germany, and we are going out there hopefully trying to get a result and then that will line us up nicely for the Austria game at home."
St Ledger is back in the squad after five months on the sidelines, and while that might mean a set on the bench for the Leicester man, who has established himself as a regular under Trapattoni, he is raring to go after his enforced absence.
The 28-year-old said: "It's been a long while out. It was five months before I played my first game the other day, so it was a long while - the longest it's been in my career, really.
"I am ready to go, I think I have proven that. I have played two games in a short period of time, just exactly what's required here with Friday and Tuesday.
"I am fit and available for selection."

text: The country's finest chefs demonstrate their culinary talents with an array of sustainable seafood in THE GREAT AMERICAN SEAFOOD COOK-OFF IV. In August 2011, a group of accomplished and up-and-coming chefs representing more than a dozen states gathered in New Orleans to compete in the eighth annual Great American Seafood Cook-Off. Chef John Folse (A Taste of Louisiana),an authority on Cajun and Creole cuisine, co-hosted the event with chef and restaurateur Kevin Roberts, host of TLC's BBQ Pitmasters.The contest gave the chefs one hour to prepare a dish using domestic seafood native to their home states. Then, the judges - including 2010 Cook-Off winner chef Dean Max, food journalist Patricia Mac and Top Chef Mastersfinalist Rick Moonen - sampled the results and crowned the next "King of American Seafood."
