How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Code
Peggy Aulino is a journalist, attorney and former tour guide. Her experiences range from defending indigent people in criminal trials in Detroit to sharing tips on where to find clean public restrooms in D.C. As a reporter with decades of experience in print journalism, she is sorry for all the trees that sacrificed their lives for her career. She wants to make up for it by learning new skills that will equip her to master the paperless possibilities of the World Wide Web. Peggy is a legal editor at Bloomberg BNA, with expertise in white collar crime and corporate compliance and ethics. She holds a BA in Communications from William Paterson University, an MS in Journalism from Ohio University and a JD from Wayne State University Law School.
SOC sat down to talk with Aulino about her experiences in the Digital Media Certificate program.
What has been your experience thus far in Web Development and Dynamic Content?
I went from knowing nothing about coding to creating a website in a couple months. Not bad for someone whose only languages before HTML were English and Pig Latin. It's quite challenging at first, but the results are extremely rewarding. On top of having a good understanding of how coding works, I realized at some point that I understand how the internet works a lot better now, too.
What has been the most challenging aspect of "learning code"?
The hardest part for me was not being able to manipulate things right on the screen, the way you could in Quark Xpress, for instance. That extra step of having to think through how you want something to appear on a website really forces you to digest the tools so you have a command of them.
How do you overcome those challenges?
Pulled out a little hair; asked a lot of questions; made time to just experiment.
Have you gained an appreciate for code? Or if you can list one thing that you love about it, what would it be?
I have certainly gained respect for coding. Its uses are broad, and there's a lot of power in having these skills. There's an old piece of advice they use to give people who were tempted to blame a newspaper for something or other: "Don't pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel." These skills we're learning are like getting a lifetime supply of ink. That is awe inspiring and reminds me of another quote: "With great power comes great responsibility." (According to the internet, that phrase comes from the Bible, Voltaire, or a character from "Spider-Man.")

No christmas blues for me..
No christmas blues for me..
Merry Christmas to all...
I know what you mean..
For all of us, who love Christmas, January and perhaps some days of February, is the time where we are not in such Christmas mood and feel awful, I have to admit.. (for me, it all ends after Christmas day..)
Well, as far as me is concerned, Christmas is always here..
In my heart, in my Christmas cds, in my books, even in my cookies whenever I decide to bake, one cold night of winter.
I even have some lights in my bedroom and when I go to sleep, you may laugh, but, honestly, feels like Christmas in there..
Its up to us guys, I think, not to let Christmas go away..
Lets not forget that there are so many other ways to keep our Christmas spirit up..
- Search/surf for Christmas things in Internet and why not, start looking for Christmas gifts for next Christmas..
- Watch a fav Christmas movie in a cold winter night
- Have a glass of red wine, while listening to our fav Christmas cd
- Post in our forum and share everything with our friends who definitely need us, this period that Christmas is over
- Making a blog and write everything you want about our fav Holiday. (I do that, almost every day..)
- Chestnuts roasting on an open fire??
- Making a Christmas puzzle!! (I did it last March, it took me almost a month to finish with it, I strongly suggest you try that, really helps a lot!)
- Making Christmas videos with your fav photos and songs!!
- Start searching for Christmas movies or songs that are about to be released next Holidays!!
- Write a Christmas story!!! (Im on page 4, right now!!)
Hhmmm.. What do you say about all, these??

And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)
I too get the after X-mas blues. I cope with it by shopping for next season. This also allows me to spread out the costs! I also listen to Christmas music. We have a craft store called Hobby Lobby. In June, they start putting their Christmas stuff early for people who like to do Christmas crafts. I LOVE that store. So for me, it helps to go down the store isles and look at all of the shiny new Christmas decorations. To me, it makes me feel as Christmas is right around the corner.
I agree! We have a Hobby Lobby where I live and it totally excites me when they start putting out Christmas stuff, even if it is 100 degrees outside! That is actually one of the things that lifts my blues as well...when you think that it is only about 4 more months til they start putting the Christmas items out, it doesn't make it seem like Christmas is soooo far away! I love those little pick me ups! Also, I was in a store this weekend and saw a Christmas CD that was on clearance from this past season...I totally bought it and may listen to it this week!
Who says Christmas has to be confined to the month of December? NOT ME!
Thanks, Olga for all of those great suggestions. I will look into doing some of them. You said you have a blog? Share the link with us! As you can see, I also maintain one.

Mobile conversion jumps from 3.4% in April to 3.8% in May, Affiliate Window says.
Bill Siwicki
Mobile sales are speeding up on the U.S. and U.K. affiliate networks of Affiliate Window—the networks generated 572 mobile commerce sales per hour in May, the company reports. Highlighting how fast m-commerce is growing, the networks recorded more mobile sales from January through May 2013 than they recorded from January through November 2012.
22.3% of all traffic on the networks was mobile in May, up from 19.1% in April, says Affiliate Window, which includes more than 10,000 affiliate sites. 13.6% of traffic stemmed from smartphones, up from 11.4%, and 8.7% of traffic came from tablets, up from 7.7% in April.
Mobile traffic converted at a rate of 3.8% in May, up significantly from 3.4% in April, the company says.
18.1% of all sales generated by the affiliate networks were mobile in May, up from 16.5% in April, the networks say. 7.5% of total sales were generated by smartphones, up from 6.7%, and 10.6% of sales came from tablets, up from 9.8%.
Apple Inc. devices continue to dominate mobile commerce on the affiliate networks. The iPhone accounted for 22.76% of mobile traffic on the networks in May, the iPad 58.46%, Android smartphones 11.57%, Android tablets 3.25%, and other mobile devices 3.96%, Affiliate Window reports.
"Consumer behavior and the way that people are accessing the Internet is changing," says Matt Swan, a client strategist at Affiliate Window. "We have seen a significant increase in the percentage of traffic originating from mobile devices. In addition, we are seeing more advertisers optimizing their sites for mobile in order to convert this traffic. Where affiliate tracking was once an afterthought, it is now being added to advertisers' mobile sites as a priority so we are naturally seeing more of these transactions track and affiliates remunerated for their efforts."

Item# :121922UPC# :095508060472 Brand:Weleda Ship Weight:1.10 Weleda Creamy Body Wash and Pampering Body Lotion Holiday Kit Wild Rose - 2 x 6.8 oz Weleda Creamy Body Wash and Pampering Body Lotion Holiday Kit Wild Rose is a two piece holiday kit containing 1 bottle of Wild Rose Body Wash and 1 bottle of Wild Rose Body Lotion. Weleda Creamy Body Wash and Pampering Body Lotion Holiday Kit Wild Rose nourishes and gives a renewed glow to your skin. Weleda Creamy Body Wash and Pampering Body Lotion Holiday Kit Wild Rose is a moisture-rich cleanser with a hopelessly romantic aroma that harmonizes your skin and tantalizes your senses. Weleda Pampering Body Lotion Wild Rose stimulates the skin's regenerative processes and helps to maintain its natural elasticity. Weleda Creamy Body Wash and Pampering Body Lotion Holiday Kit Wild Rose noticably smooths and tones your skin with a unique combination of polyunsaturated fatty acids, organic jojoba oil, witch hazel and kernal extract from wild-crafted Rosa Mosqueta. The floral scent of organic Rosa Damascena indulges your senses and creates a pleasantly fragrant beauty regimen. Well-Being for Body and Mind Weleda's body care products nurture well-being from head to toe, leaving you looking, feeling and smelling refreshed, replenished and renewed. The Story of Weleda It all goes back to 1921 and something called anthroposophy. This movement, stemming from the teachings of philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner, encourages the individual to see his or her body, mind and spirit as intrinsically linked to the world; all part of one holistic system. And so Steiner, along with Dr. Ita Wegman, got together with a team of dedicated scientists and doctors to determine just how they might use this philosophy to take care of their patients' needs. They understood that a human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, but sometimes it needs a little help. So they developed a personal approach to health care using natural ingredients that can holistically work with and support everybody's healing tendencies. They started by creating one of the world's first Biodynamic gardens to grow what they needed. Sound new agey? It's actually old agey - what cultures around the world have done successfully for generations. It was successful for the founders too. Patients were healed, wellness and balance were restored to them, and never once was a synthetic chemical or lab-made preservative used in the process. The company's new name couldn't have been more appropriate: Weleda, after the Celtic goddess of wisdom and healing. Soon, word got around about the innovative, effective work Weleda was doing and the company spread from Switzerland, to Germany and into North America and the world. Today they're proud to have offices and partnerships in more than 50 countries. And yet despite their success, not a whole lot has changed. Weleda still cultivates their own Biodynamic gardens. They still believe natural ingredients truly provide what a body needs to be vibrant, beautiful and well. They still put the health and well-being of you above all else. And they continue to grow, spreading our passion for beauty, wellness and environmental respect around the world. Weleda's Philosophy Weleda sees beauty everywhere. It's in the soil that is tilled, the flowers that are grown, the built partnerships that honor the human spirit and respect the natural world. But their mission isn't just to recognize beauty. Their mission is to actively cultivate beauty. They do it with Biodynamic farming methods. They do it by developing fair trade partnerships for a more positive impact on the world. They do it by empowering the individual to make positive change in the world. And of course they do it with meaningful products that work with a body's own natural vitality and ability to nurture and heal. Weleda strongly believes in supporting health and beauty, and that of every individual. By doing so, they hope all will be empowered to cultivate beauty in the world. For generations to come. Lofty goals? Absolutely. Weleda's Promise To delight the senses with products that are gentle and effective To create vital relationships among customers, fair trade partners and their own team To ensure the quality of their products and programs To actively protect ecology and steward conservation To continually invest in research and development to continue to cultivate beauty around the world Growing Their Products It starts with soil. Beautiful products start with beautiful soil. Weleda keeps chemicals and pesticides out of their Biodynamic gardens, because the quality of the soil will reflect the quality of their products. Even their partners seek out the most gentle, safe farming methods available. The Harvest Because life nurtures life, all plants are processed immediately after they're harvested. Weleda's dedicated farmers work with great care to clean the roots, peel the bark and hand-select the best blossoms and leaves. Some plants are kept whole-to treat the whole being-while others are separated into components like roots, seeds, leaves or fruits, each to care for a specific skin-care or medical need. Because life nurtures life, all plants are processed immediately after they're harvested. Weleda's dedicated farmers work with great care to clean the roots, peel the bark and hand-select the best blossoms and leaves. Some plants are kept whole-to treat the whole being-while others are separated into components like roots, seeds, leaves or fruits, each to care for a specific skin-care or medical need. Nourishment Released Grinding, squeezing or cutting fresh ingredients releases their nourishing properties while they're most active and aromatic. They then combine this active plant blend with a solution such as organic alcohol or spring water to create an organic extract called a tincture. A tincture carries an "imprint," or life message, of the plant, and herbal or mineral tinctures are powerful enough to have been used around the world for centuries to treat medical needs. Weleda's Mission Weleda stimulates and inspires your body, soul and spirit. In doing so, they encourage your own vitality and discover inner balance. This enables individual health and authentic beauty to unfold. Weleda's Culture It's not a very complicated equation; happy people do better work. So people work hard at Weleda making sure everyone working at Weleda is happy. They know that creating wonderful products aren't mutually exclusive to fostering a respectful workplace, promoting creativity and taking a personal interest in those who work with them. Weleda encourages personal development outside the office. They serve free organic cappuccinos, celebrate birthdays, prompt staff to use their generous vacation time. It's not surprising to see new parents at work with their children by their sides. They've also created a unique social structure that makes every team member feel greater ownership of the company and more connected to one another. And to make sure everyone feels valued, they make sure to keep communication channels wide open. After all, brilliant ideas can come from anyone. Where Beauty Begins People at Weleda are farmers. They're up to their elbows in dirt, obsessing about weather reports and analyzing the pH of the rainfall. Not exactly the image that comes to mind when you think of a beauty company, but then, Weleda's not your average beauty company. At Weleda, beauty isn't something that's made in a lab; it's something that's cultivated right from the earth. Carefully. Lovingly. And certainly without pesticides or chemicals. Those things aren't beautiful. For nearly 90 years now, they've demonstrated that nature can nurture and the earth can heal. And so they grow organic roses encouraging glowful youth. They gather golden arnica blossoms to tend to bruises and sprains. They harvest acres of Biodynamic calendula for the comfort and health of newborn babies-and to inspire confidence in their cautious new parents. Weleda may plow and harvest 135 acres of Biodynamic gardens around the planet. But what they cultivate, really, is beauty.

good boots
"These boots are a great choice for wet and messy conditions. I farm so I need a tough boot that won't collect water or get sucked off by mud and these meet the challenge. The pattern makes them a bit more fun than your average muck boot too. My only complaint is they are a tad hard to pull off. Fun and sturdy muck boots"

LOVE these boots!
"These boots are a little wide, which is perfect for my wide foot! I have big calves and they are snug around that area. I can not tuck jeans in very easily if at all. They are super comfy and very WARM! Perfect for rain, snow, or just cold weather. In fact, I wear mine all the time! I have family in Alaska and Bogs are their boot of choice, so I thought I'd try them... SOOOO happy I did!"

"I bought these well over a yr ago and they are comfortable and have proved indestructible. I use them for summer gardening in 90 degree + heat and stay relatively comfortable in them because of the neoprene breathability. Also use them in the horse barn mud & muck and find the sole has good traction and is easy to clean off with the hose when it's time. I can wear these boots all day walking the farm and find them extremely comfortable compared to other muck boots I have owned. I do find that temps below 35 degrees my cold feet prefer the toastiness of an insulated boot, but overall would give these boots an A+. My foot is narrow and I still find this boot fits comfortable, like a muck boot should, even though some have rated it as fitting wide. I wear a 9.5 or 10 depending on shoe. The 10 in bogs fit perfectly. Highly recommend!"

By Rep. KAY MCIFF
Its budget time at the legislature. The final revenue projections have been received. The requests for funding from all the state agencies, and all other would-be recipients have been submitted.
The challenge before us is illustrated in the abbreviated analysis which follows. New money that will be available on an ongoing basis is $280 million. Requests for this money total $425 million. One-time money, available only for this year, is $181 million. The one-time requests exceed this amount by $92 million. Interestingly, it's probably more difficult to pick and choose what and what not to fund out of the limited revenue increases than it is to require all recipients to remain in the "holding pattern" that has been in place for the last three years.
It is unlikely that many, if any, requests will be fully granted. This only is certain: We will balance the budget. There will not be any deficit spending and there will not be any tax increases. There will be a couple of fee increases that are designed to fund specific objectives. A good example is Senator Hinkin's $5 increase in the big game license to raise money for predator control-mainly coyotes. I am supportive but have emphasized the necessity that this money be spent on the ground and not in the offices.
Senator Okerlund is seeking new money to fight invasive species-most notably cheat grass. I am completely supportive. I have led the effort to obtain additional ongoing funds for necessary existent small schools (NESS) throughout Utah and have been supported by all the rural senators and representatives as well as school officials. The NESS funding, as it is called, was last adjusted in 1997. I am optimistic that we will receive a significant bump up in this funding which is badly needed.
Both public education and higher education will receive some additional dollars, but it will be modest. For higher education, it will be the first year in this decade when it has not taken a cut. Dixie College and Utah Valley University have a backlog in unfunded growth and will receive some help, beyond the other institutions. I look forward to the time we can better address the needs.
I note in passing my profound appreciation for the presence of "community college" campuses in Price, Ephraim and Richfield. It is the mission of such institutions to fulfill the educational needs of the community whether they be in the areas of applied technology or academics. When the merger occurred between Snow College and Sevier Valley ATC, I quoted and endorsed this observation from President Gordon B. Hinckley: "Get all the education you can... I do not care what you want to be as long as it is honorable. A car mechanic, a brick layer, a plumber, an electrician, a doctor, a lawyer, a merchant but not a thief." I went on to state: "At Snow South, we propose to do it all under one roof, with complete integration and without elevation or relegation."
My view of all students, in all courses of study whether academic or applied technology, was and remains reflected in the simple expression, "same hallways-same worth." It is entirely appropriate to assess where we are in our progress toward these goals and objectives, and I welcome meaningful review and discussion. If we need to ratchet-up our emphasis in some area, I am supportive. My only caution is that we avoid sideshows, keep our "eye on the ball" and not lose track of our mutual long-range objective to serve the broadest educational needs that available dollars will allow.

Skip to comments.Students taught oral-sex tricks (and more)
Posted on 02/14/2013 5:06:35 AM PST by wesagain
'"WARNING: The following story contains language that some readers may find offensive"'
The University of Chicago is leaving little to the imagination with its Sex Week schedule, as it hosts a number of eye-opening events that it promises will go far beyond typical sex education with workshops including Great Oral Sex with Tea Time and Sex Chats, Anal 101, The Perfect Vagina, Sex Ed for Kids and a play titled Genitalia the Musical.
According to the universitys official webpage, the oral-sex symposium will include discussion on going down on men and women, techniques as well as individual differences and sexual health practices. Yes, expect tea.
Another workshop, titled Partner Acrobatics, advertises that members of a circus will teach you (and your friends) how to stand on shoulders and every other place on the body.
Well have a rope-demonstration where youll find that kink is really focused on consent and communication, the college also notes.
The session titled Anal 101″ is billed as a course on the logistics and pleasures of anal sex. It features lessons on prep, protection, barebacking, etc.
Other workshops will feature hilarious sex scenes from film and television, as well as a pornographic parody of the Star Wars saga. Axel Braun, director of Star Wars XXX and some 400 other porn films will even be on hand hosting one event.
The Sex Ed for Kids seminar asks: How do we talk about sex and its related concepts of choice, gender, and .........

From a "sick" state awash in filth, crime and unemployement.....this should help!..../sarc
The Chinese are studying physics and chemistry. The Indians are mastering business and IT.
And here, Johnny and Mary are studying.....
OMG!! OMG!!! ONLY GOD CAN HELP US!! We've lost our souls and our minds.
I remember when the anus was something your waste passed through, and wasn't exactly a place to play around in.
The world sure is changing.
The endless ingenuity of creepy college instructors! Anything to get young fresh meat to provide titillating exchanges in the classroom — and later over drinks at a college bar.
So transparent!
Coming to an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL near you.
It's just Higher Id doing what they do best.
In grad school, they move on to the ego.
Then they elect the superego to the highest office in the land.
I remember when your anus was a planet.
Well, I guess I can't say anything.
Numerous times I have posted here about how worthless liberal run colleges and universities aren't teaching kids any skills they can earn a living with......
while this might be a step in that direction, I was really thinking more of math and science!
The inmates are now running the asslyummmy FRiend. What was formerly up is now down. what was formerly white is now black. What was formerly right is now wrong. This is not happenstance. This was/is well planned in advance. Why? Because as a Nation's population becomes more degenerate and perverted they lose their interest in freedom and personal responsibility. They become more dependent upon the Government [read slaves] for their existence and substance. Their desire for the Government to provde for their substace is that it relieves them of the responsibility of having to provide for substance,thereby allowing them to devote their entire enegeries to fornicating and using drugs. Therefore, they elect individuals such as obama to rule them because he/ she promises to take care of them. Since they now control the institutions of "education, expect to see their numbers increase.
How fortunate we are to have a Department of Education and teachers unions. Government schools provide students with the finest indoctrination that the taxpayers' money can buy.
Your post reminds me of Rome. Unfortunately, our once great Republic will end up the same way.
If I could speculate on the mind of G-d, my guess is that He isn't pleased.
The instructors are the children and grandchildren of LBJ.
It's ok to wrtite God
this is K-12 in NYC and Kalipornia I bet
Graduate 1: Hey, man. This sucks. I went to the U of C and got my Masters in Masturbation with a minor in Cunning Linguistics and I can't get a job!
Graduate 2: I hear ya. I've got an undergrad in S&M Theory and I'm working as the night janitor at a porno theater.
Chorus: What's wrong with this system?
The Kama Sutra has been around since between 400 BCE and 200 BCE.
[Not really shocked, considering that porn has shown up even in cave drawings, great 'art' and literature, and has driven some of the developments in photography and video.]
Homosexual oral sex?
Its ok to write [sic] God
I do that in deference to my Jewish family members and friends.
Typical Home schooling drone. Doesn't bother to even read the first sentence: The University of Chicago is leaving little to the imagination with its Sex Week schedule.
I love the way you folks make yourselves look ridiculous.
For the thinking folks this is where you solve the problem. Get the crappy ones out of the colleges first.
How did we let this happen?? How did we, as a once Christian and God fearing nation, sink so low?
What's absurd is these "educators" thinking anyone needs their help figuring out the mechanics of sex (normal or perverse). The apprenticeship system works just fine.
They could inform the young in their charge about new strains of gonnoreah that appear to be untreatable, as well as all the old standbys. Not avant guard enough?
Really none of this is surprising. These people don't have anything on the giddy sexologists of the 70s-80s. Their denial of the demonstrated consequences of those fools' counsel disqualifies them.
How many parents will pull their kids out of these schoolags?
Answer: none.
There's your answer.
I am more worried about minors than adults in college
You may be shocked to learn that people have been playing around that area for a very long time.
These courses are not required for graduation are they?
I wonder what the lab fee is for this class?
$100 per hour plus sheets?
Will they graduate "summa cum laude"?
Whoever came up with this idea needs to be run out of the country and sent to a muzzie country. That should about do them in. We send our kids off to college to get an education so they can make an honest (that means a decent) living and the colleges provide this crap. What a sick nation we have become! Worse, often times we as parents PAY for this crap. I want my money back.
Send someone over ASAP to clean the coffee out of my keyboard and off of my monitor.
It's all in the communist plan to destroy America.
Nope. University of Chicago....
Where do you think elementary teachers come from?
Colleges are where the infection began. College campus's in the 60's
It's just a matter of time before it filters down to that level.
Welcome to our Brave New World, comrade.
I thought this was a school day. Why aren't you teaching instead of FReeping during the school day?
Not shocked, I am not a prude and consider myself knowledgeable about many abhorrent sexual practices,just shocked that it has become so accepted now.
I am a product of the 50's when asking a girl to perform fellatio was pretty risque. Today that is considered part of dating and anal sex is another form of birth control.
Yes. And after 4000 years of civilization the society that produced it is still a third world open cess pool.
Exactly. We could seriously cripple the left/commies by canceling our cable; we could stop the indoctrination by refusing to participate.
That's too difficult. It's just too damn difficult.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
I do my planning before and after school, so my planning block is free. I also have transition time between classes.
Both my wife and I were born in 1950. I guess we're just different individuals.
It depends. Did we as parents do our job? If so, then when they select their college elective courses, they won't choose nonsense like this. If they do, then it is YOUR failure as a parent, not the university's failure.
Perhaps this is vocational training. With degrees so worthless, graduates have to make a living somehow.
"Yes, expect tea." How clever. When they call us tea-baggers, it's a compliment!
Being on the Sex Week schedule where does one put that on a resume?.
I will further note, because I do not think it has been, U. of Chicago is a *private* institution.
Kinda makes me rethink public/private until cognitive dissonance kicks in. Koolaid anyone?
Great point - there are few things we can compete at in the world.....so I suppose spewing filth can save America?

(February 03) Today we're celebrating . . . Chinese New YearThursday, February 3rd, 2011
Chinese New Year
Gung Hay Fat Choy! The first day of the Chinese lunar calendar is a very important holiday to the Chinese people. It is celebrated worldwide, wherever there are large Chinese populations, with food, festivities, fireworks, and parades.
There are 12 cycles to the Chinese lunar calendar, each represented by an animal. This year, 2011, is the year of the "Rabbit."
It is common to give red packets to children during this period of celebration. The red envelopes contain money, which should be of an even number (as odd numbers are associated with money given during funerals).
And for your enjoyment here is a short video of the Chinese New Years parade in New York City's Chinatown. This will give you a brief flavor of the festivities and fun.

text: Cossington Smith's meditative late still life paintings are also interiors. In works like Still life with white cup and saucer patterns of leafy foliage through the windows connect with sensuous draperies and everyday objects, suggesting animation in nature and in the seemingly ordinary things that surround us. In this work which was one of her last major paintings, fragmented brushmarks are like particles, imparting a sense of a shimmering light and energy underlying all things.

"Idol" Phillip Phillips proud of his debut album
Phillip Phillips' Southern-tinged voice chokes up a little when he thinks of the success of his "American Idol" coronation song "Home." The double-platinum tune, written by Drew Pearson and Greg Holden, has provided the soundtrack to video clips of storm-ravaged areas and touching segments about the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team.
"It's pretty emotional," Phillips told SoundSpike. "It's kind of overwhelming, too. I'm glad that the song helps people out that way. It has helped them through so much, through a tough time in their lives."
The success has surprised Phillips -- and critics alike. He said he knew it was a "great song," but had no idea it would become one of the ubiquitous tracks of 2012.
"I'm so thankful for that," he said quietly.
Because of "Home," Phillips' debut album, "The World from the Side of the Moon" began its run on The Billboard 200 charts at No. 4 with 169,000 units sold after it was released on Nov. 19.
"I was a little nervous" about how it would chart, he admitted.
During the making of "The World from the Side of the Moon," Phillips was adamant that he have a hand in the songwriting. Some of the tracks were written before the 11th season of "American Idol," some during it, when he was severely ill with kidney problems, and others after he took the FOX-TV show's top prize.
"It was a good process," he said. "Even on some of the co-writes, they knew I wanted to make the album me and they just let me write the songs as well. Instead of them routing me, they pushed me and I really appreciated that. It was really cool."
That's how he chose his producer, Gregg Wattenberg, famous for working with the likes of Train and O.A.R.
"We wrote 'Get Up Get Down' and he let me basically wrote that whole song, too," he said of Wattenberg. "He was just there to push me and help out at certain points. He's an amazing guy."
One song's lyrics he didn't write was "Take Me Away," a track inspired by a poem that his girlfriend wrote for him.
"I couldn't really write anything to it," he said. "It was tough and it was frustrating me. She sent me the poem one night. She didn't mean for it to be a song. She just sent it to me one night to be sweet. I played around with it and it fell right in there perfectly. I decided to use it."
Phillips, who is plotting a U.S. tour, admitted he was stressed out the first time he played it for her.
"Yeah, I was scared to death," Phillips said. "The minute I played it for her, we were in the living room. I said, 'I have something I want you to hear, see if it's OK or not.' It's after I finished the whole song. I started to sing it and the minute I started playing it she turned red. I was sweating like a pig. It was a funny moment."
"The World from the Side of the Moon" was originally slated for release in January/February, Phillips said. Then the powers that be changed it to December. Finally, everyone settled on a Nov. 19 on-sale date.
"I would only have three weeks to do it," he said. "Luckily, I had all the songs done. We got in the studio and started to cut the guitars and finished mastering it in three weeks. It was very nerve-wracking to do that."
But Wattenberg proved to be a calming figure in Phillips' life.
"He wasn't on me," Phillips said. "He wasn't like, 'You gotta do this. You gotta do that.' He didn't stress me out. He wasn't very forceful. He's very chill guy. Amazing, so nice. He kind of let me make decisions on the album on most of the things. If I said, 'That doesn't sound good,' he would say, 'We don't have to use it.'
"It was really awesome to have him there to teach me a lot of things about producing, how to record a few things. He just showed me a lot. He was excited about the album."
Subsequently, Phillips said he feels "The World from the Side of the Moon" accurately represents him as an artist. His team did a nice job, he added.
"They really did," he said. "They helped out so much. They worked just as hard or not harder than I did, longer hours. We wanted to make it something not overproduced, or nothing we couldn't really do live. I'm more of a 'live' guy, anyway. I feel like we achieved that. I'm very proud of the album."

Jets Player Usage: Defence
Kevin McCartney
February 15 2013 09:26AM
In part 1, we looked at how Claude Noel is using the Jets forwards so far this season. Below we'll look at how he's using the defence. The chart below comes from Ninja Greg's fantastic site. Thanks to him for use of his nifty tool.
To the Charts!
(Right click and hit 'View Image' to see it enlarged to full size. Or go here.)
How to read this chart: (It's easier than you think!)
Higher and fruther left = harder. Orange bad. Blue good. Big blue is great. Big orange is awful. Easy, right? The details:
- Each bubble is a player at even strength only.
- The higher that bubble on the chart, the tougher competition that Jet tends to play against (QualComp)
- The further right the bubble on the chart, the more of their shifts start in the offensive zone (ZoneStart).
- So top left quadrant is the toughs, bottom right is the soft parade.
- The bubble itself is about corsi - the number of shots attempted (on net + missed + blocked) minus the number of shots attempted against. This is used as a measure of territorial advantage. You tend to direct more toward the net if you're in the offensive end, and have more shots attempted against if you're hemmed in your own zone, right?
- This uses relative corsi - a player's corsi compared to the rest of the team.
- Orange bubble = negative corsi (more shots attempted against than for). Blue = positive corsi (again, relative to the rest of the team)
- The bigger the bubble, the bigger the RelCorsi number is. So if it's giant and blue (like Wellwood), that means he gets a lot more shots toward the opponent than against his own, relative to the rest of the Jets. If it's small and orange (like Jokinen), he is almost breaking even, but has slightly more shots against than for when the Jets put him on instead of their other options.
Some thoughts on the Jets defence.
- Dear lord, please never make us play a game without Byfuglien again. I don't know why he's a 4th line LW and an All-star defenceman, or how he carries his own weight nevermind an entire team on his back (Do! That's an NSFW link, and I can't explain it either), but I'm not asking how.
- Mark Stuart is going uphill every night and doing a pretty fine job of it. A surprisingly fine job of it to my mind. Enstrom isn't far behind as he continues to be a key player for this team, and Hainsey is struggling. Together, they're doing the hard work. I kinda thought Enstrom would be in the blue (positive corsi) myself.
- Meanwhile, Postma has looked great (by my eye and this metric) against weak competition - second weakest to only Redmond - and with a huge zone start advantage. Clitsome is in a little tougher water, and is doing a little worse. Go figure. Together, that's about all you can ask of a puck moving third pairing. They're moving the puck in the right direction.
We'll have to check back when Big Buff gets some more games, and once we see how Bogo slots in.
For now, it would seem that giving Hainsey a life presever might improve the Jets immediate fortunes. Don't get my wrong, he's a respectable +1 this morning, but he's also been extremely lucky, leading the Jets defence in PDO (on-ice Save% + on-ice team shooting%). It might require getting him a right handed partner to play with, which the Jets are in short supply of given their current injuries.
The other night Hainsey played most of his time with Redmond, who, while right handed, wasn't what I had in mind. Up until that point, Hainsey has been playing both the left and right side with any of Stuart, Enstrom, or Postma. I can only imagine it's tough to switch sides and partners like that at the NHL level. Bogosian returning will provide some balance to this defence core and hopefully help Hainsey out of the fire.
What surprised you about how Noel is using his defence and how successful each player has been so far?

August 2010 E-News Brief
THREATENED: Phillis Wheatley Elementary
Photos: Courtsey of The Preservation Resource Center, www.prcno.org
Efforts to preserve and reuse Phillis Wheatley Elementary constitute what is arguably one of the most pressing preservation issues facing New Orleans today. Designed in 1954 by New Orleans architect Charles Colbert, FAIA, it is a groundbreaking work of modern engineering and design. Though its cantilevered classroom wing avoided the ravages of flooding after Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana Recovery School District (RSD) is pushing for FEMA funds to demolish the National Register-eligible building.
According to the National Historic Preservation Act
of 1966, any such use of federal dollars to demolish
or otherwise alter a building must first be subject
to the Section 106 review process to determine
how such actions can be mitigated through
discussion with concerned parties. FEMA began
Wheatley's Section 106 review last fall and the
issue erupted into a contentious fight between
those for and against preservation. The RSD halted
the process to commission the Hammond, LA-based
firm of Holly + Smith to perform a feasibility study
for the site. Its findings were made public at an
RSD-hosted community meeting on July 21st, while
the official consultation process resumed July 29th.
Holly + Smith considered two options for the site, total demolition and replacement with a new school building versus restoration of and addition to the historic building. The firm was not charged with formally designing either scenario, only with assessing current conditions and proposing hypothetical schematics. It found that both options were comparable in most respects, though estimated that the renovation scenario would cost an additional $900,000. The architects neglected to calculate how demolition costs would help to close that gap, but either way, the project would cost between $20 million and $21 million. RSD officials have asserted that either scenario would be completed by 2013.
Despite these findings, detractors still maintain that Wheatley must come down. The RSD claims that it would be impossible to achieve an ideal learning environment for students using the existing building, and some echo this sentiment by insisting that the only way to achieve parity with other public schools would be to construct an entirely new building. These arguments seem somewhat disingenuous in light of the fact that the district already plans to renovate a diverse collection of forty-four existing school buildings, historic or otherwise. If it is possible to bring each of those to a reasonable level of programmatic equality, one is left to wonder why the rehabilitation and reuse of Wheatley is so insurmountable, particularly in light of those conclusions drawn by the RSD's own consultants.
Additional arguments against preservation come from those attributing a host of educational and social ills to the building itself. Wheatley was poorly maintained for decades, and prior to Hurricane Katrina it, like most of New Orleans' public schools, was failing. Overall mismanagement was, after all, what spurred state takeover of the city's school system by the RSD in the first place. These problems were endemic citywide, not unique products of Wheatley's design. Others claim that the building, completed the same year as the historic Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling, painfully encapsulates the era of segregation in New Orleans and therefore should be demolished to start anew. One wonders then why those same detractors are not arguing for the demolition of all of the city's historic school buildings, the vast majority of which were completed prior to World War II; the answer likely lies in the fact that these are mostly Classical Revival style structures which are more widely accepted as "historic." In either case, these arguments reveal a disturbing brand of selective memory on the part of those seeking demolition most ardently.
Holly + Smith's feasibility study, which states that
Phillis Wheatley Elementary is a viable resource,
should be seen as a positive starting off point for
creative solutions to satisfy all. Those arguing for
preservation – including DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana,
Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans,
National Trust for Historic Preservation, World
Monuments Fund, and citizens throughout New
Orleans – believe that this historic building can
indeed be incorporated into a 21st century school to
benefit children for years to come. After all, that is
the ultimate goal of preservation – to insure that
future generations will inherit the architectural
legacy of those who came before, rather than allow
short-sighted thinking to deprive them of that

Archives Building in Atlanta
Qualifications (RFQ) for design professionals interested in
preparing demolition documents for the former State
Archives Building (A. Thomas Bradbury, 1962-65). The
building, a favorite of many Chapter members, is one of
Bradbury's most distinctive designs, and is visible from
downtown freeways. The building was vacated when the
State archives moved to a new facility in Morrow, Georgia.
In April, the Georgia Chapter partnered
with Historic Augusta and the Historic
Preservation Division of Georgia
Department of Natural Resources (HPD) for
a tour of historic Modern sites in Thomson
and Augusta, Georgia.
Moffson (HPD) provided historic
background before the group visited the
McNeill House (1937), one of Georgia's first
International Style National Register
listings, based on an Edward Durell Stone
design published in Collier's Magazine in
District, including sites designed by I.M. Pei's office. Pei's Bicentennial-era projects include the now-vacant Chamber of Commerce Building (1975),
a streetscape and parking project (1976), and his unique Lamar Building Penthouse (1975). Tour leader Erick Montgomery of Historic Augusta
also highlighted the Moderne Miller Theater (Roy Benjamin, 1940), the
now vacant International Style Augusta Public Library building (Eve and
Stulb, 1960), and the Miesian Wachovia Bank Building (Robert McCreary, 1967).
International Style Burge Apartment Building (Stevens and Wilkinson, 1947) in early 2010. In 2009, the Chapter submitted a statement encouraging Tech's reconsideration of plans for demolition and
expressed disappointment at the limited technical study of adaptive
use options that were conducted.

Boston's Modern Heritage
Boston, Massachusetts is perhaps the epi-center in the discussion on the preservation of Modern architecture in the United States. With the controversy over the landmarking of the Christian Science Center complex coming to a head, DOCOMOMO US/New England president David Fixler was featured on WBUR's daily news program Radio Boston to discuss why Modern architecture deserves to be saved. To hear the entire broadcast, and David's piece on Modernism (about 36 minutes in), visit the WBUR website. For more on the history to preserve Boston's Christian Science Center visit our archives.

Tool readies for handful of West Coast arena shows this spring
For the first time since the summer of 2012, prog-metal rockers Tool will return to the tour trail in support of an impending new studio set.
The Los Angeles quartet will hit five major U.S. markets in early March, beginning March 4 in Spokane, WA, and concluding with a two-night stand March 11-12 in San Francisco, CA. Two Mexico shows follow the following week.
Tickets for the domestic dates are on sale now.
Tool is set to release a new studio album sometime in early 2014, though no exact date has been announced. The effort will mark the band's first new material since their Grammy-winning fourth studio set, "10,000 Days," which surfaced in 2006.
Frontman Maynard James Keenan told Rolling Stone magazine in November that the recording process was in "tedious."
"I don't write the music. They write the music," he said in the interview. "I wait for them to bring music to me. They tend to go back over and over stuff. It's a long process. For a person like me, it can be a very tedious process. In some ways, they are bigger perfectionists. But you can only help support their talent so long. They don't have to go through it 700 times. They can trust that first thought. But that's their process, so you gotta let them do it."

By MARY WILMARTH Green River
Dear Editor,
Green River sometimes feels not only like "the other side of the county', but the other side of the world. At least at The Emery County Progress, we no longer feel that way.
I know I am not the only one who's noticed that you go out of your way to be sure we are included. If we submit it, you print it. If we notify you, you cover it. Sometimes it takes several trips a week to cover our sports, meetings and events. We appreciate the efforts.
The Emery County Progress has gone the extra mile for Green River.

"I love these flip flops - and living in NOLA, you make it your business to know all things flip-flops. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that one day I wore them to the pool and then slipped them on while my feet were slightly damp, and a little black rubbed off onto my feet! Not good! The shoes didn't appear to be damaged, but who wants black marks on their feet?!"

Cute, but they run short
"I ordered these sandals online. They arrived quickly but were too short, which was a shame because they're super cute and comfortable. I was able to exchange them at the store without a problem.Now, to be fair, I'm 36 weeks pregnant and my feet have started to swell, maybe that's why they were too short."

Great Sandals
"I wanted these sandals in the nude - but I was too late and got the pewter - still love them. So comfortable. Other reviews mentioned the top rubbing. Not for me. It fits great and so cute."

Audrey Brooke Malia Flat Sandal
"These sandals are gorgeous - the neutral color goes with everything! The only minor issue is that the metal medallion rubs the top of my foot slightly & is a little uncomfortable. It doesn't stop me from wearing them on a regular basis, though!"

He is a very hard worker who believes in getting his work completed and done in a timely fashion. He is friendly and easy to get to know. If he has questions, he's never afraid to ask so that he can do his job even better than before. He cares not only about what he does, but the people that he works with. If asked, I would say that he is a great person to have as an employee. He is a team player and brings others into the team.

Skip to comments."Breaking News" (A Response to LGBT Post)
Posted on 05/20/2012 6:05:13 PM PDT by TheRobb7
A co-worker of mine who happens to be gay posted a picture of what was allegedly a church sign saying "I never told LGBT folks they couldn't marry. The bigots don't speak for me. Signed, God."
THAT flew all over me. So since they wanted to use religion to justify themselves....I shot back with this series of four jpegs.... Enjoy!
Remember, Sodom passed the entire gay agenda by an overwhelming majority. In fact, there were only six opposing votes in the entire community.
Weird. Barry channels Jesus Christ and now the homoprobes are channeling G-d. I don't see this turning out well for America.
The wisdom of getting into a pissing contest on this subject in your workplace seems very low. Your gay co-worker WILL find a way to get you fired.
Ditto what PapaBear said, my FRiend. If you work in a large corporation (as I do), you have to deal with the fact that LGBT's are truly a protected class all their own. Don't even fart in their general direction. All one of the Sissy Class has to do is whine to HR and your ass is gone pronto.
It sucks, it's wrong, it's abominable....but it's reality.
When did God tell them to groom children at about 11 years old? Look at Chastity Bono for instance.
I Love them, If you don't mind I am going to use one or two for background pics during my next Tea Party Meeting....
Permission granted. :)
Thanks for the kind words...and the wisdom you imparted.
The pic that my co-worker used included the work "bigot".
That's a heavy word to be throwing around. That's what set me off.
BTW, I get along with this individual, but I'll be sure to watch my back.....
At church today, our pastor had a handout from the Synod giving us ammo against supporters of same sex 'marriage'.
2Peter 2:10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings. 2Peter 2:22 Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud." Be careful.
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire...
would love copies of the handout - been looking for literature to use on this topic
pics posted are wonderfully made
Good pics but most gays don't believe in God or believe in thier own version of the Bible. You can throw Bible verses at them all day long but it won't change thier minds. Sodom and Gomorrah didn't change any of them.
Guess what? Evil lies and it is in competition for souls with you know Who.
Bump for later
(correction) Gays and Liberals believe in EVERYTHING!
Make your own church sign for your friend -
"To Adam and Steve - live by the sword, die by the sword. Where did you think the Way of Death led?"
I have made the statement "If God doesn't punish this country and soon,He will owe Sodam and Gommorah an apology".
P.S. I don't think He will apologize either !!!!!
(Of course, you have to believe in the Rapture in order to "get it"...)
Lot and family were imperfect. There are few antiheroes quite like Lot in any literature I've seen. Yet He and they are a picture of the imperfect Church being removed from the world before final judgment is laid upon it.
Lot's wife didn't really want to leave, and looked back, not curiously ("what's happening?") but longingly (I'm being forced to leave my home"); she is, IMHO, is a picture of those who are on-paper "members" of a church but not Believers/Members of the Church.
Ask him why he's so bigoted against Christians.
If he wouldn't say it to a Jew/Muslim/Buddhist/Hindu, he shouldn't say such things to you.
A better move would have been to feign offense at his email, talk to HR, and get him fired.
Because he's going to do it to you now.
Homosexuality is unlike most sins. An adulterer, for example, is still using their body as it was designed. Adultery is a sin against God, but it's not against nature. Homosexuality, on the other hand, is an affront to both the natural order as well as God. How in the world can some people who profess to be Christian reconcile unrepentant homosexuality with Christianity? What kind of mental gymnastics enable them to do that?!?
One thing about libs (and MANY here have experienced this phenomenon and talked about the experience) is that you can be friends with them for years, and then you reveal something about your conservative viewpoint, and suddenly you are an evil monster in their eyes.
It is fundamental to many leftists that somebody who is not a leftist (and is not persuadable to come over to the Left) is thereby evil.
And that attitude is the basis for their stand that we conservatives, or we Christians, want them dead.
God loves them, Jesus died for them too. He loves the person, but hates their behavior. Homosexuality is a behavior, it is NOT the person.
It is incumbant on us as Christians to love them, pray for them, for their salvation; and while doing that, not to be shy about telling them that their behavior is wrong and repunant.
There's never been a human society for which there was an increase in socio-biological fitness in response to its "normalization" of homosexual behavior.
That's the historical / biological Truth.
synod—definitely sounds lutheran. i'm lcms. our church didn't handout anything but they might be saving it for bible class (which I missed the last couple of weeks.) You lcms, wels, els?
I was born and raised Methodist, but have become Lutheran (officially, recently). My daughter and grandchildren are Lutheran. Yes it is LCMS. The booklet is from Concordia.

NRCS accepts and processes EQIP applications on a continuous basis. However, each state may establish deadlines for one or more application periods in which to consider eligible applications for funding. Applications submitted after these dates will be evaluated and considered for funding during later funding opportunities. Producers must submit a complete program application and other documentation to support eligibility to be considered for financial assistance through EQIP.
Information about how to apply for assistance through EQIP and deadlines specific to the available application periods for each state, is available online.
Eligible applicants include individuals, legal entities, Indian Tribes, or joint operations engaged in agricultural production. In addition, organic producers who grow agricultural commodities on eligible land and have natural resource concerns which may be addressed by a seasonal high tunnel may participate in EQIP. See the EQIP website for more information about eligibility for financial assistance.

This friday morning we decided to take a trip back down memory lane to Nylon Magazine's August 2007 issue featuring former TV personality and fashion designer Nicole Richie. In the feature, Richie states "I don't have a clue, why I'm famous either," making light of her current and sometimes over stated stardom. Since then, Richie has become a full-time mom and a fashion icon, (House of Harlow ring a bell?) Proving to the masses why she is well deserving of the title she has received. In the denim-esque editoria,l Richie rocks her favorite pair of denim skinnies with a Wild Things T-shirt. A laid back and casual look that we love, Richie has definitely given us some denim inspiration to start our weekends off just right.

Interior Secretary Gale Norton announced the appointments of new members to Utah's citizen-based Resource Advisory Council which advises the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on public land issues.
"We value the input that the Utah Resource Advisory Council provides in helping the BLM manage America's public lands," Norton said. "I welcome our new members, thank them for their commitment, and look forward to their counsel as we work to improve the health and productivity of the public lands."
The BLM's Resource Advisory Councils (RACs), composed of citizens chosen for their expertise in natural resource issues, help the agency carry out its stewardship of 261 million acres of public lands. The Bureau, which manages more land than any other Federal agency, has 24 RACs across the West, where most BLM-managed land is located.
BLM Director Kathleen Clarke said, "RAC members bring a wealth of experience and a wide rage of perspectives to each of our councils. This diversity results in a balanced outlook that the BLM needs for its mission, which is to manage the public lands for multiple uses."
The new Council members, who will be serving three-year terms, include: Norman Carroll (reappointment), Orderville, Utah - Grazing; John Busch, Vernal, Utah - Energy and Minerals; Clair "Riley" Cutler, Salt Lake City, Utah - Dispersed Recreation; and Drew Sitterud, Ferron, Utah - Elected Official.
Utah BLM State Director Sally Wisely expressed her gratitude to Governor Walker and her staff that helped the BLM recruit and provide recommendations to Secretary Norton for this important citizens council.
Wisely also acknowledged the contributions of the outgoing Council members. "They helped establish a model for collaborative management of public lands."

"Loved this shoe! It's very bright barbie pink and pretty comfortable as heels go. The ankle strap makes the shoe!"

"These fit so comfortably right out of the box - for some reason the patent leather version (these pink ones) of this shoe compared to the snake pump (in yellow) fit so much nicer in the toe area. Can't decide whether to keep the pink or yellow ones. Boyfriend loves the pink ones! They definitely remind me of a barbie shoe, but not in a bad way. Heel height is also nice - not crazy tall!"

"These shoes looked so cute online but:1) the color was a lot brighter than pictured (think hot pink) -- fine except I was specifically looking for a fuchsia for a wedding2) the shoes were comfortable enough and fit fine but the ankle strap was super uncomfortable and rubbed against my outer ankle-bone in a very unpleasant way."

Very Cute!
"These shoes were super cute! Unfortunately I did not keep them because I had to return the outfit I bought them for and couldn't justify the purchase at this time. My only complaint is that the ankle strap rubbed the back of my ankle but it's wide enough to stick a heel protector in so it shouldn't be an issue! Wish I could have kept these :)"
