In addition to the live coverage of the show, make sure to check out Dave Scherer's ongoing blog of the Pay Per View. There will also be audios on the site in the Elite Section with thoughts and analysis of the pay per view.
Tonight's show starts with the 'Doritos Jacked' SummerSlam Kickoff Show featuring Shawn Michaels, Booker T, Vickie Guerrero, and Josh Mathews.
Josh welcomes everyone.
Josh asks Shawn what he is looking forward to the most and Shawn says that it is the concept of SummerSlam in L.A. He is looking forward to the WWE Title Match.
Booker T says that he is looking forward to Bray Wyatt versus Kane. Booker mentions that Kane made his debut in 1997 at Bad Blood.
Vickie says that she is looking forward to the World Title Match.
Shawn agrees with Booker about how it is an uphill battle to make his debut in a Ring of Fire Match.
We see how Rob Van Dam got his match on the Kickoff Show.
Booker is asked for his thoughts on the United States Title Match. He says that Rob will have to step up in his home town and he thinks that Rob will do it.
Shawn says that people are impressed with the Shield and what they have done. We will see if The Shield is for real tonight.
Vickie says that she brought Rob back so she is looking forward to this match.
Renee Young is in the Social Media Lounge and she wants people to make their predictions on social media. Renee wants people to send videos on Tout.
We take a look at the CM Punk video package that aired on Smackdown this week.
Paul Heyman is in the locker room and Josh says that this match is being compared as David versus Goliath and Paul tells him to stop and he calls the comparison preposterous. David versus Goliath is a story we tell our children that there is hope left in the world. That is not the case.
Historians say that David hit Goliath with a slingshot, but the truth is that David got in one shot but Goliath dominated David and laid him to waste. That is what will happen tonight.
Paul says that he comes up with an idea that even CM Punk will agree to. The match will be No Disqualification. CM Punk will end up a martyr tonight and he will be pushed into martyrdom by the beast incarnate, BROCK LESNAR
Josh asks how this will change the match and Booker says that it will work in Brock's favor. Punk will not lay down. Shawn says that he was concerned about this match and he says that the no disqualification serves Punk well. He says that he did not think that Punk would have a chance against Lesnar, but this might help. Vickie says that she is afraid for Punk. Shawn says that being the smaller man helps to have a no disqualification stipulation.
We go to Tony Dawson who was outside the Staples Center earlier today. He is with two fans who came to SummerSlam with Northern Ireland.
We see people entering the seating area.
It is time to take a look at Total Divas.
Josh mentions that Total Divas will have a presence on the pay per view with Natalya versus Brie Bella.
Vickie says that she thinks Natalya will win. She wonders how Shawn or Booker know anything about Divas. Vickie says that she is proud of the product. Booker says that Brie better watch out because Natalya is a grappler and she can take down some men. Shawn says that people used to call him a diva and he says that he was a foxy dude.
We take a look at the mixed tag match and how we go to tonight.
We see Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston at Venice Beach working out. Langston talks about how his agility separates himself from others his size. AJ says that she uses the Black Widow because she doesn't have the strength of others. She says that she has always been the champion, but now she has proof.
Renee Young is in the Social Media Lounge. She runs through some of the predictions that were submitted.
We take a look at how the WWE Title Match was set up and the build to tonight.
Josh asks Shawn if Daniel Bryan can win and Shawn says that he does think so. He likes John Cena, but he is a bit biased towards Daniel Bryan. He has known him since he was 18 and he is very talented.
Vickie says that Daniel Bryan is a fresh face.
Booker says that John Cena has been on the mountaintop a long time. Cena has made a lot of money. Is John Cena still hungry and will he step up to face Daniel Bryan.
Shawn says that John has earned everything he has gotten.
Booker and Shawn talk about getting worn down on top. Shawn and Booker say that the timing might be right for Bryan.
Booker says that if Cena chose Bryan, maybe Cena thinks that he can beat Bryan.
Vickie wonders about the motives of Triple H.
We are back with Tony Dawson outside with fans from Calgary and he asks them about what match they are looking forward to and one says that they are looking forward to the Punk versus Lesnar match.
We go to ringside for Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and John Layfield. They talk about the matches on the show. Jerry says that Triple H is the wild card for the WWE Title match. Jerry does not know who the no disqualification stipulation helps and John says that it will help Brock Lesnar. Michael says that he might have an advantage because he can use whatever he wants.

Jurors mulling over the evidence in the trial of Drew Peterson asked a series of questions on their first day of deliberations but ultimately went home without a verdict.
The questions started coming less than two hours after deliberations started Wednesday morning, with jurors asking for photos, transcripts, phone records and a letter written by Kathleen Savio, the ex-wife Peterson is charged with killing.
Judge Edward Burmila allowed jurors access to phone records of the weekend Savio died, as well as her autopsy photos and photos of tub in which she was found, but decided against giving them the transcripts of two state witnesses.
Instead, jurors were brought back into the courtroom and listened to a court reporter read the written records of Rev. Neil Schori and attorney Harry Smith's testimony. Additionally, a letter Savio wrote to a state investigator, in which she expressed fear that Peterson would kill her, was provided to jurors in a heavily-redacted state.
"That evidence is really powerful," said jury consultant Bill Healy. "If you're going to send somebody to jail, you want to be able to say, 'We went through, piece by piece. This is how we tied it all up.'"
Peterson, 58, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder. To sustain the charges, prosecutors must have proven that Peterson either "performed the acts which caused the death of Kathleen Savio" and "intended to kill or do great bodily harm" or "he knew that his acts created a strong probability of death or great bodily harm."
If convicted, Peterson faces a maximum 60-year prison sentence.
Prosecutors have no physical evidence tying Peterson to the death and waged a case based on hearsay testimony and circumstantial evidence. Hearsay, or statements not based on the direct knowledge of a witness, isn't usually admissible in court, but Illinois passed a law in 2008, dubbed "Drew's Law," that allows it in rare circumstances.
Prior to deliberations, Burmila spent about 15 minutes giving instructions to the panelists before they filed out to elect a foreman and began wading through five weeks of circumstantial and hearsay evidence. He told them they should go in with the presumption that Peterson is innocent and convict him only if they find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
"The defendant is not required to prove his innocence," he told them.
Defense attorneys viewed the jury's actions as a good sign.
"It seems that they've got maybe two committees or two halves," said Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky. "One are looking at ... the credibility issue and the hearsay issue. And the other ones are looking at the forensic issue."
Earlier in the day, Brodsky said his client was in good spirits and was eagerly awaiting a verdict. Peterson is fighting hard for his freedom, Brodsky said, because he wants to see his kids.
"There is no higher thing on his mind right now," Brodsky said, noting a quick verdict would be good news for his client.
After more than eight hours of deliberations, Burmila gave the jurors the option of a state-sponsored meal or to go home to their families. The seven men and five women opted to go home but were advised to immediately call authorities if anyone approached them about the case or tried to discuss it.
Deliberations continue Thursday.

The BYOD–bring your own device–trend has been taking the IT world by storm as of late, and we've spoken before about why BlackBerry Enterprise Solutions are a great way for organizations to adapt. So we were interested to hear that the Canadian Diabetes Association, a 50-year-old non-profit with 350 employees and 20,000 volunteers, was switching from a long-standing BYOD policy to a corporate-owned BlackBerry policy.
Nigel Carpenter, the Chief Information Officer at the CDA explained that when they truly compared BYOD to a centralized approach, they found that having employees bring their own devices was actually costing more. "By centralizing our BlackBerry solution, we realized this move would bring us tremendous cost savings. We estimate that the CDA will save as much as $250,000 over years; that includes data costs, long distance savings, hardware upgrades and paying to end contracts early," Carpenter said.
While the CDA evaluated several other platforms, they landed on BlackBerry smartphones and enterprise solutions for simplicity and security. As Carpenter explained, "With BlackBerry, being able to send out an upgrade to our fleet of devices over-the-air is a real plus. Not to mention, the added control of being able to remotely wipe or disable a device if it's lost or stolen. The BlackBerry platform meets the high security and privacy standards that the CDA has established as an organization."
Carpenter plans to migrate the entire organization to BlackBerry 10 smartphones and the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 platform soon to take advantage of Balance technology. "As a CIO, it's a very positive thing to be able to separate personal information from work data, all on one smartphone," he said. The CDA even hopes to have its truck drivers using BlackBerry smartphones to manage pick-ups and route management.
The CDA's employees are happy as well. "When we migrated our users over to the BlackBerry solution," Carpenter said, "I asked them to show me anything they couldn't do that they were already doing on their previous device. It's not a hard sell once they begin using the BlackBerry device."
Accountability is the bottom line for a non-profit like the CDA, and BlackBerry's ability to help meet that goal was key in Carpenter's decision to switch to the BlackBerry-only policy. "The BlackBerry solution is helping us maintain fiscal responsibility—which is a key part of our commitment to donor accountability as an organization," he said. "BlackBerry technology gives us everything we need in a mobile solution."
Is your business BYOD-friendly, or do you have a company-issued smartphone? Which policy do you think makes more sense? Let us know in the comments.

Back in 2011, Matt Linderman wrote a harsh critique of Yahoo's history of acquisitions. He found the company had spent $13.3 billion on more than 30 companies over the years, many of which vanished inside Yahoo's bureaucracy. (MyBlogLog? Jumpcut?)
Linderman is worth listening to because he's the founder of 37Signals, the company that makes work management tools like Basecamp and Campfire.
His company has a blog, Signal vs. Noise. And Linderman's two-year-old post on Yahoo acquisitions is suddenly getting a burst of new life in light of the company's $1.1 billion takeout of Tumblr.
It concentrates on the acquisitions of Flickr, Delicious, MyBlogLog, and Upcoming.
Of course, Yahoo got a new CEO, Marissa Mayer, after Linderman's post. So this is all ancient history … right?
Here are a couple of highlights:
FLICKR: According to a worklog he [Flickr Architect Kellan Elliott-McCrea] kept in 2008-2009, 18 meetings scheduled over a 9 month period discussed why Flickr's API was poorly designed and when it'd be shut down and migrated to the YOS Web Services Standard. He said, "That kind of stuff slows you down. Especially when you're being starved for resources." [Flickr lost a lot of users to Facebook's photo-sharing service, but it was recently redesigned by Yahoo.]
DELICIOUS: [Founder Joshua] Schacter left Yahoo when his contract was up, in June of 2008. "I was largely sidelined by the decisions of my management," he said after leaving. "It was an incredibly frustrating experience." [Delicious was sold to AVOS in 2011.]
UPCOMING: Neil Kandalgaonkar, a former engineer at Upcoming, says acquired companies like Upcoming were "parcelled out to different parts of Yahoo where they were subordinate to the existing hierarchy and agenda." He also argues there was a failure of vision. "The Yahoo model is to think of their sites as media properties with audiences, and bolder ideas like one social network encompassing them all was never a priority," he said. "Even if top executives wanted to see revolutionary change at Yahoo, most of the organisation was set up to do deals with Purina Puppy Chow and to ask if Flickr wanted to create a special site for dog photos." [Upcoming was shuttered this year.]

Steve Carell wouldn't call himself an over-bearing dad, but he'll do his best to protect his little girl from heartbreak.
"You don't want to see your kids get hurt. That's the main thing," Carell, 44, told reporters at the Despicable Me 2 press day held in Los Angeles on June 14.
"You know they're going to have their hearts broken at some point, and you can't ultimately protect them against having that happen."
But until that day comes, the actor is enjoying time with both of his kids – Elisabeth Anne, 12, and John, 9 – for as long as he can.
"I know there's another period of time that's going to be a very, very different and difficult growth period for everybody, my wife and I as well," he adds.
As for a recent difficult moment for the father of two, Carell admits he felt bad about keeping his appearance on The Office series finale under wraps.
"I lied for months," he shares. "We just figured it would be a fun surprise if people weren't expecting it. I didn't want it about [my character] Michael coming back … [but] more of a tip of the hat to the show."
Carell wasn't alone though! His Office costar John Krasinski told PEOPLE earlier this month he was a culprit of lying too – and actually found the experience thrilling.

As the crisp fall air ushers in a new season, many gardeners may be left wondering: what now? Garden experts from across the country weighed in with their tips on the best things you can do this fall for a fabulous garden next year.
Plant now, bloom later
Judy Nauseef, president of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers(APLD), suggests planning ahead for next spring. "Fall is the time to take stock of your garden and plan for next year," she advises."You can see what worked and what didn't, where you have holes and what needs to be replaced or moved."
If you need help assessing your garden, she recommends calling in a professional landscape designer for help. You can find one in your area at www.apld.org.
"Once you know what you want to add, plant new perennials and shrubs in the fall, and you will have larger, stronger plants with better blossoms next spring," adds Nauseef.
Many perennials provide color through the end of the season, especially trendy grasses. For your shade garden, try Hakonechloa 'Beni-kaze' from Briggs Nursery for its attractive green foliage that turns brilliant red in the fall. This gorgeous flowing Japanese forest grass is stunning planted in mass with ferns, hostas or other shade-loving perennials.
Give your containers a fall facelift
By summer's end, container plantings have often seen their day. Give your tired containers a fresh look by adding bright fall annuals and colorful foliage in bold fall colors of red, orange, deep purple and gold. There are still plenty of plants available at your local garden center that will see your containers through the cooler months of fall.
"There are plenty of pansies, mums and asters available, but don't stop there," says Ed Bemis, of the Massachusetts Flower Growers Association. "You can create wonderful unique fall flower pots using foliage and flowering plants in the colors of autumn."
Some favorites are yellow, red and rust colored snapdragons that will keep blooming through a bit of frost, and orange and rust coleus.
Everything's coming up roses
"Fall is an excellent time for planting, and roses are no exception," says Steve Hutton, plantsman and president of Conard-Pyle Co.
"Establishing roses in the fall is easy," adds Hutton. "The weather and soil conditions are better in the fall, as opposed to spring when it tends to be cold, muddy and wet."
For fall color, Hutton recommends planting the new Drift groundcover roses. Continuously blooming from spring to early frost, they are naturally dwarf, with very attractive foliage. Just remember to give them plenty of water and lots of sun.
Frost protector
No matter what you're growing, a sudden frost or freeze is deadly, spelling doom to your garden and landscape. Protect your lush flowering baskets, vegetables, herbs and favorite plants from Jack Frost with FreezePruf, new this year from The Liquid Fence Company. This non-toxic spray can increase a plant's tolerance to cold and protect home gardens from damage caused by cold.
This means gardeners can get a couple more weeks of growing and harvesting – at least two weeks earlier in spring and two weeks later in the fall. Just imagine tomatoes in October and mums still blooming after Thanksgiving.
Deer-proof your garden
Winter months are some of the deadliest times for deer destruction in the garden. "Deer are creatures of habit and stay near a good food source – like your backyard," says Dave Mizejewski, naturalist with the National Wildlife Association. "A lush garden or lawn is a magnet for hungry deer and rabbits, especially in the winter."
To keep deer out, look for all-natural products, like Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent, that use taste and scent aversion to turn animals off your plants and make them unappetizing to common garden-munchers.
Repellents should be applied monthly and should be reapplied after a heavy downpour of an inch or more.
Winterize your accessories
Mother Nature "naturalizes" cast stone and terra cotta garden accessories, but the harsh forces of winter can cause fine planters, birdbaths and statuary to crack and crumble.
According to the "garden accessory connoisseurs" at Campania International, a little care will help your garden "art" last for generations.
Cast stone planters and statuary should be raised off any surface which freezes and thaws. Terra cotta planters, which can absorb moisture and are subject to winter freeze-thaw cycles, should be stored indoors for winter.
If your planters are left planted outside over the winter, raise them off the ground so they will drain and not freeze to the surface. To winterize both cast stone and terra cotta accessories, simply place them on two pressure-treated wood strips, making sure not to block the drainage hole.
For birdbaths and fountains, bring tops in for the winter. All bases, bench legs and statuary should be raised up off the ground, so as not to freeze to the ground's surface.

J.Mendel: This gown is SO COOL and HAS to come down the Oscar's red carpet, maybe on Cate Blanchett?
Carolina Herrera: A beautiful, flowy gown with embellishments.
Michael Kors: I adore the mix of textures!
Sophie Theallet (l) and Milly (r) prove party pants will still be big next fall.

about our success.....
Realize the full potential of your mildot scope for about the price of two boxes of .308 Match ammo.
The mil-dot reticle is in increasingly widespread use among long-range rifle shooters as a means of estimating the range to the target. This estimation is critical in order to correct for the varying degree of projectile drop (and/or wind drift) at different ranges and thereby enable the shooter to hit the target. With training and familiarization, an experienced marksman can accurately estimate range to target by using this type of reticle and by making the appropriate calculations. Originally fitted to telescopic sights designed for military (and later police) use, the mil-dot reticle has seen growing acceptance in the civilian sector among target shooters and hunters.
By using a set of fixed references within the scope, the shooter can compare the size of the target, a portion of the target, or a nearby reference target to a series of precisely sized dots and spacing. By estimating the size of the target or nearby reference and noting the number of mils that equal the size of the target, the shooter can determine the range to the target by applying a formula (size of target in yards multiplied by 1000, divided by size of target in mils, equals range to target in yards), usually done with the help of a conventional hand held electronic calculator.
However, there are problems associated with the use of an electronic calculator. The Mildot Master® is designed to eliminate these problems.

I've got all these other weird natural baby projects in my head, too, that I need to sit down and figure out--I want to make some patchwork baby quilts out of old blue jeans, or maybe freezer paper stencil the international breastfeeding logo onto a denim bunting...a good mom friend is expecting, so I've been really inspired lately, because her baby? I'm gonna pretend like it's mine.

that is a beautiful post. i really love the fact that you collaborate, and work along side you girls. it takes a lot of patience to do that. it is something i would like to do, more consciously that i do now. i always think i have to have a block of time, all to myself, to get things done. you've reminded me that's not true.
cosmo has helped a few times with building projects, and is great at putting screws in holes for me, so they are all ready for the drill to screw them in.

It took me a long time to find meaning in my work as a mother, I'll tell you. I grew up wanting something very different with my life, and I tried a lot of things that worked, but didn't work for me. And once I really dedicated myself to being the mother of my first child, I still wasn't satisfied, you know? Like I still didn't have anything, really, to DO? It didn't start getting better for me until I bought myself a real, professional digital camera. And then everywhere I went with my babies, I took a lot of pictures. A LOT of pictures. It was a creative outlet that satisfied me and gave me something to do while being with my girls, and still let me have some intellectual time and some time alone to work on my photos, too. And then my mother-in-law gave me her old sewing machine, and making stuff for my baby was something else to do. And then I started doing other crafty little things as something to do. And then I started finding this meaning in it, of doing work that I can share with my girls, of doing things that let me be with them and interact with them but aren't the regular kinds of kid-things that had me feeling like I was going crazy. Play groups? Oh, man.

Vermont Digital Economy Project
A small team, led by the Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD) and its great project partners, has made a tremendous difference in Vermont communities, in hundreds of organizations (including both nonprofits and small businesses), and, most importantly, in the lives of individual Vermonters.
VCRD had just 18 months to leverage a $1.8M federal disaster relief grant from the Economic Development Administration. The Vermont Digital Economy Project had an aggressive work plan to deliver eight different grant services in dozens of Vermont communities impacted by 2011 flooding. It was a unique project in that it bolstered virtual infrastructure, and not roads and bridges.
In those 18 months, the project delivered Front Porch Forum to every town in Vermont, created 26 free Wi-Fi zones/hotspots and 25 new municipal websites, and advised over 120 nonprofits and 260 small businesses. It also placed 24 internet interns in libraries across the state to help teach digital literacy.

READ: Wilhelmsson excited for American adventure
Wilhelmsson, who signed with the club on September 4, secured his visa and the club received his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) this week, formally completing the move, and allowing him to be added to the roster on Thursday afternoon.
The club did not need to make any additional roster moves in order to add the 32-year-old to the roster.
Wilhelmsson first arrived in Southern California on August 30 and has been training with the club for the past two weeks. Capable of playing on either flank, he has appeared in each of LA's last two Reserve League games, playing just under in hour in each contest.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – More than a dozen Missouri school districts are among nearly 900 nationwide planning to apply for a slice of nearly $400 million in grants from the U.S. Education Department.
The department announced Friday that the unaccredited school systems of Kansas City, St. Louis and Riverview Gardens were among those filing intents to apply. Other Missouri applicants include Camdenton, Cape Girardeau, Ferguson-Florissant, Fort Osage, Independence, Jefferson City, Joplin, Normandy, North Kansas City, Poplar Bluff, Raytown, West Plains and West Platte.
The grants are intended to support initiatives that help close achievement gaps and prepare students for college and careers.
The Obama administration has already awarded more than $4 billion to 18 states and the District of Columbia through its Race to the Top competition. Missouri hasn't benefited so far.

Work as much or as little as you want, you'll still make good money and you aren't cooped up in an office all day. Whatever you choose, be sure to set up a website you may be amazed at how much traffic you get.

When you design and fuse glass by hand, the results do not feel manufactured. Nothing is truly round or perfectly square. Variations in texture and shape add to the character and charm of each one-of-a-kind piece.
All Glass by Charis ornaments are handmade. Besides the time needed for preparation and design, each ornament spends approimately 24 hours in the kiln. To add variety, I use my own hand-crushed glass (frit).

A handmade rug offers excellent durability. They can be cleaned and repaired almost infinitely and should last a lifetime. We recommend treating everyday stains and spillages by mopping up the area and using a solution of soft soap in warm water if required. Accidents do happen and if you experience a serious spillage please call your nearest showroom for recommended cleaners and advice.
Fluff and Vacuuming
New rugs can shed a bit of fluff, which is created from excess fibres that were not properly incorporated into the yarn during spinning. This is normal, and is not a sign that your rug is falling apart! It is best to vacuum a rug often at first until the fluffing ceases. If you are able to control the power of your vacuum cleaner, ensure that it is not at the most powerful setting. Do not use a cleaner head with teeth as this will damage the rug.
Yarn prepared by hand is not completely uniform in colour or thickness. When this yarn is dyed it does not take the colour evenly, and these inconsistencies produce a subtle stripe effect in the finished rug, called 'abrash'. This is a desirable feature of handmade rugs, imparting them with life and character. Rugs made without abrash appear flat and look machine made.
The Rug Company uses only the best dyes that offer the most resistance to fading. However, there are no dyes that are completely photostable or impervious to fading in sunlight. Over time, any material left in strong sunlight will fade. Traditionally, the best way to mitigate this effect is to turn a rug from time to time so that at least any fade is even.
Loose Threads
If a thread becomes loose in your rug, do not pull it, but carefully cut it with sharp scissors. This will not damage the rug.

Last fall I was asked to give a presentation on WordPress to the Cleveland Web Development SIG. I've talked about WordPress quite often, and have conducted training sessions for end users on the care and feeding of their WordPress sites, but this was a different scenario. This time I had 90 minutes to advise developers on how to use WordPress to build their sites.
Need feedback? Ask the crowd.
As I was planning the presentation it seemed to grow more daunting every day. I don't know everything about WordPress, I'm constantly learning more, but even so, how could I cover enough in 90 minutes to give these folks a good foundation? What I realized was that I had to do some sort of messaging triage to focus on the most important topics. And I needed to identify which issues would be of the greatest interest to my audience. For the latter I would need to ask for input. So that is what I did.
I began by asking Stuart Smith, the leader of the Web Development SIG for his thoughts. As someone who knows his audience, and who had recently been digging into WordPress himself, he was able to give me some good insights. Next I thought it would be helpful to get opinions from people who already knew WordPress. This is when I turned to the crowd.
Answering questions on LinkedIn is a regular part of my personal branding and marketing strategy, so I've learned that the people there can be a great resource. Thus I posed the following question on LinkedIn.
If you were attending a 90 min. presentation on using WordPress as a CMS, what would you want to learn about?
I'm giving a presentation on WordPress to our local Web Developers group in a few weeks. In the past I've given 60 min. talks geared towards users, but this is aimed at a more technical audience. I'd like to cover installation, theme development, plug-ins and other functionality, but I also realize that 90 min. isn't really enough time to cover the breadth and depth of the WordPress Codex. So I want to focus on whatever points would be most useful to a Web developer (someone comfortable with HTML, CSS and a bit of PHP) who is about to do his/her first WordPress site.
If you're thinking about using WP and haven't yet, what would be helpful to you? Or if you're already comfortable with WordPress, what do you wish someone had told you before you did your first WordPress installation? Thanks for your input!
In return I received 13 answers suggesting topics including:
I posed similar, albeit shorter, questions on Twitter and Facebook, and once all was said and done I had a full list of topics to prioritize. Given my limited presentation time, I crossed-off topics that would be too time-intensive, such as theme frameworks, and chose to focus on the basics of getting set-up and developing themes. I also touched on security, SEO, plug-ins and hosting (among other things.)
By now, the list was still too broad, but I felt I had a sense of what developers would want to know.
Screenshot of page from WordPress Sample Site
Knowing I would be covering a lot of material quickly, I felt I should provide resources that attendees could access later. So instead of using Keynote or PowerPoint, I chose to build a WordPress Sample Site as my presentation vehicle. This would allow me to go page by page, rather than screen by screen, while also leaving examples in place that people could refer to at any time. This also made it easier to demonstrate the features of WordPress as I could also show them things in the WordPress dashboard for the site, or in the php files for the templates.
I used pages on the site to explore key topics, such as the WordPress template hierarchy, and blog posts to share plug-ins and related tidbits. I'll continue to add to that blog as I find new plug-ins worth sharing. So what started out as a presentation has now turned into another site that I can expand and refine over time. If you have suggestions on plug-ins or WordPress topics I should cover, please share them below and I can start adding them to the Sample WordPress Site Blog.
I still get nervous about speaking, and it can be hard to tell how a presentation really went. After all, most people are too polite to tell you that you bombed. But overall the feedback was positive, and the audience asked (and often answered) many good questions. Thinking back on the process, I may have come up with a decent plan on my own, but I think I came up with a better plan because I asked what people wanted. The responses I got really helped me in shaping the nature of the presentation, and gave me the confidence to feel I was on the right track.
When we think about crowdsourcing we think of many different things. We may peruse Digg or StumbleUpon to find the most interesting news or sites. We may ask friends on Twitter for tips on what router to buy. We may even use the crowd for project collaboration. And there will be times when we disagree with the crowd. That's O. K. too, it doesn't have to be a democracy. But if you ask the crowd for their input, it can be a great place to start—whether you're planning a presentation, a marketing campaign or a blog post.
We all know these blog posts don't get written as frequently as I'd like. But that doesn't mean you need to go weeks without hearing me babble. Over on http://www.facebook.com/heidicool, I'm using content curation to share one link per day. At one tip per week day it won't clog your Facebook stream, but hopefully you'll find something useful.
And for more links (and ramblings that may not always be related to the Web) I usually Tweet and reTweet a few (or several) times per day at @hacool.3 comments

I want to reach people like me: young, fun, professional, female, artsy, etc. I believe the hardest thing is distingushing between funky and fun with professional and talented. I will have a template blog so one way to stand out is to use color, font, and possible a patten. Not afraid to take away from the photos if it will be remembered.

So we've been brainstorming around here to come up with more activities that center around Día de los Muertos, and one of the things I came up with was this little page of calaveras for my kids to color and decorate.
I created a simple template and printed it off on some heavy cardstock for my kids. I was really tickled with the way my daughter decorated them, giving each one a particular profession or theme. I think she came up with the idea based on one of her favorite books, Calavera Abecedario by Jeanette Winter. Afterwards, she cut them out and glued them to the end of a craft stick and had her own little calavera puppets.
She had so much fun with it that I decided to share the simple template with all of you. So if you'd like to download your own free copy, just click here, or look in my sidebar under "Free Downloads".

Brandon Jennings, and why your child might be better off without college
Around this time last year, the consensus was that California hotshot point guard Brandon Jennings made a disastrous decision by electing to play professional basketball in Italy instead of following through on a college commitment to the University of Arizona. This Washington Times story from Dec. 4, 2008, was typical:
When last season's consensus No. 1 prep player, Brandon Jennings, headed to Italy instead of college, becoming the first high school player to choose that path since the NBA instituted its minimum-age requirement after the 2005 draft, some observers dubbed Jennings the pioneer of a new era.
"I think we're going to have a revolution," said former shoe executive Sonny Vaccaro, who advised Jennings during his decision-making process. "And Brandon Jennings, a kid from Compton [Calif.], is going to start it."
A month into Jennings' European experiment, the reverberations of said "revolution" have given way to deafening silence.
The 6-foot-1, 170-pound guard has all but vanished from basketball's collective conscious. Jennings is the fourth member of Lottomatica Roma's backcourt rotation. Buried in the depth chart behind guards like former All-Big East performer Allan Ray (Villanova) and former Ivy League player of the year Ibrahim Jaaber (Penn), Jennings exited the team's first eight games averaging 4.9 points and 3.0 assists in 17.3 minutes.
Jennings is being well-compensated for his spot duty. Contracts with the Rome-based club and UnderArmour are reportedly earning him in excess of $3 million this season. But the long-term wisdom of his career choice remains questionable. Instead of enjoying a high-profile role at Arizona, where he would have served as the Wildcats' primary perimeter complement to versatile forward Chase Budinger, he's struggling to earn minutes for a 4-4 squad in the Italian League. As a result, his draft stock is falling.
"He began the season in the top 10 on everybody's board, but his slow start has everyone re-evaluating," an NBA scout said at the Old Spice Classic.
It didn't look good either, when Jennings rushed into the NBA Draft inexplicably late, well after Milwaukee drafted him 10th overall, the fourth overall point guard taken.
Of course, you don't need a college degree in foreshadowing to know what happens next.
[youtubevid id="SlZhgwHdXTc"]
Jennings takes an early lead for NBA Rookie of the Year, what with performances like the one against Golden State (which took Stephen Curry ahead of him) Nov. 14, scoring 55 points, the most by a rookie since Earl Monroe's 56 in 1967. Suddenly, analysts are wondering whether more hotshot players are going to jump to Europe for a year in their intense pro league instead of the relatively sedate college life, and Jeremy Tyler's struggles with a team in Israel are less an indictment of him than necessary growing pains for his future NBA career.
So, you might ask, what does all this mean when I plainly state in the title of the blog that Your Kid's Not Going Pro?
Well, like in basketball, there are a lot of people going to college who have no business going to college, who are going only because they're told it's the only way to a lucrative career, who are better served finding their own way in the world before determining whether college is right for them.
College is a wonderful place. I spent some time there myself. But given how expensive college has gotten (in part because of the message that everybody's gotta go), if your child is looking at a career path that doesn't necessitate college, or at least if he or she wants to get a little taste of the real world before going to college, what's wrong with that? Or do you want massive student loans to pay for an unmotivated or unready college student?
In Jennings' case, it appears spending a year's apprenticeship, not being treated like the golden god of basketball, did far more for his game and maturity than a single season at Arizona ever could.
True, most people who eschew college are going to end up the opposite of Jennings on the income scale. I'm not saying you shouldn't push your kids into strongly considering college. But it seems like, as parents, we also need to figure out the wisest course for our kids, wherever that might take them.

Kristine Lilly - Maintenance Work
During my twenty-three year career with the U.S. National Team, I was competing all year round. When I wasn't competing, eating or resting, I performed what I liked to call "maintenance work" - drills that helped me maintain a good feel for the ball.
Maintenance work was all about getting back to basics. In fact, I still do these basic drills with my instructional soccer camp, the Kristine Lilly Soccer Academy, during the summer months. It's my belief that a player who practices basic skills will eventually become a great technical player. One of my teammates on the U.S. National Team was Michele Akers, the most technically sound player I have ever seen. Her technique kicking a soccer ball was so precise, powerful, and consistent that she was deadly from anywhere on the field.
One of my favorite drills at the Kristine Lilly Soccer Academy is the Pele series - a series of drills named after Pele, the legendary Brazilian soccer player and former star of the New York Cosmos. Here's how it works: You and a partner stand about three feet apart. Your partner tosses you the ball and you use your instep to kick the ball back. You repeat this ten times and then switch. After both partners have used their insteps to return the ball, you start again, this time returning the ball with the inside of your foot. Next, you return the ball with your thigh, head, and so on. There are many variations to this but the repetition works wonders for comfort and confidence. Doing this two or three times a week in ten to fifteen minute intervals - before practice or at home with a friend - can help you maintain a good feel for the ball. Some other maintenance work you can do: dribble the ball in and out of cones; pass the ball with a teammate; strike a ball against a wall and trap it; and one that is so easy to do on your own, juggling. All of these things will keep you "in touch" with the ball.
The great thing about maintenance work is that it isn't strenuous, which is a good thing when you're conserving energy for important games. And remember, maintenance work is more fun with a friend!

A Featured Author
Her nefarious undercover career continued in elementary school where she wrote stories and poems in a jillion spiral notebooks, naming all the chapters to come, and rarely writing beyond chapter three. Her first "novel" was set on a ranch she called by the inauspicious name "Carrion" — hey, she was only in third grade, and it was a chewy sounding big word! So what if she didn't know exactly what it meant.
In third grade, her parents were summoned to school by an irate teacher who complained that Kim insisted she didn't need to learn her times tables. She was going to be a famous author when she grew up.
Throughout her high-school years, Kim's parents became increasingly alarmed by visions of their daughter as a starving artist (i.e. living in a rat-infested garret, eating stale cornflakes and mumbling to herself about voices she heard in her head). At one of those grim but loving "come to Jesus" meetings at the kitchen table, they convinced her she needed to be able to support herself once she graduated from college. Kim became an elementary school teacher because she adored kids, and for a few years toyed with writing children's literature until some wise soul told her to "write what you love to read."
An incurable romantic, Kim sallied forth into romance, historical and contemporary. For her twenty-fifth birthday her husband, Dave, presented her with an electric typewriter and a gift of time, saying, "You have five years before Kate starts school. If you publish a book by then, you can stay home and be a writer like you've always dreamed."
Her first book was written during Sesame Street, Kate's nap times, and from ten o'clock at night until two in the morning. Hearing of Sandra Brown's trick of bribing her kids to give her a little writing time by promising to put their names on every page of the book, Kim took the pseudonym Kimberly Cates. Her daughter, who taught her everything she knows about royalty, thought this was a fine idea, and thought the C in Cates should be wearing a tiara much like the one she wore to the grocery store when she was five.
During this time Kim started running into another aspiring writer/mom at free day at the Zoo, swimming lessons and preschool pageants — the woman who would become her incredibly talented partner-in-crime and critique partner, Susan Carroll. What history-nut, book-crazy person could resist someone who didn't mind a phone call at midnight with a lunatic in a frenzy of delight over some tidbit of research she'd found? (Such as the fact that King Charles II of England took a stick of wood to bed with him like a teddy bear when he was a child. Honest — he really did!)
It was during Kim's research on Charles that she discovered and fell in love with his dogs: Cavalier King Charles Spaniels — a parade of whom have been her adoring muses over the years. Her current "Three Musketeers" are Sir Tristan, Sailor and Huckleberry. All three are brilliant, and very proud of their contributions to Kim's writing career, not to mention the giant tumbleweeds of dog hair they are able to whisk into every corner of the room whenever they shake themselves.
The dogs are delighted that mom is able to stay home to worship them most days, but can't understand her fascination with the little black box she pays so much attention to. After all, the dogs correctly reason, they are much more adorable and fuzzy than it is.
When Kim attended her first RWA conference with the first hundred pages of a novel in hand, she chose an agent appointment in the most professional, logical manner imaginable. She picked the one who had her hero's last name. What became Sky of Ashes, Sea of Flames sold within the week, and she had to face the exhilarating yet terrifying consequence — she had to actually finish a book, something she'd never done before. Remember the whole spiral notebook, Carrion gig? To make it all the more challenging, she'd set this book in the most romantic time period imaginable — the Irish potato famine.
Twenty-six books later, she still feels amazed and awed that she now gets paid for the daydreams that got her in so much trouble in school. She and her husband live in the perfect "writer's house": The home that once belonged to her beloved grandmother, a children's librarian who introduced Kim to all the classics by delivering stacks of books to Kim's door every week without fail. One book a day and two each for Saturday and Sunday. She never doubted Kim would be a writer someday. And maybe it was fate. After all, Kim was planted in a family full of characters she actually has to tone down to make believable when she uses some of their traits for characters in her books.
Sometimes, Kim fears writing for a living is too good to be true, but her dogs keep trying to convince her not to worry. She won't suddenly wake up to find herself back in third grade, the teacher ripping the spiral notebook containing Kim's latest masterpiece out of her hands and expecting her to know what the answer to 123 x 27 might be.

The human body itself is a yantra and similarly drawn, written, or sculpted yantra are often the mystical bodies of divinities. Yantra often contain numbers, syllables, and words from various formulas that carry specific energies. When these symbols are configured in specific ways, they become harmoniously resonant. They then vibrate at specific frequencies which permeate the energy field of a space or the person wearing them. These energies magnetize specific things and also repel energies not harmonious to them.

Yoga just like any other exercise program can give one a lasting sense of fulfillment as well as a noticeable transformation in one's physique. If you are living in a world where fitness is a priority, then perhaps, these two are both equally crucial. Spending long hours of routines and exercise that are monotonous can exactly bore someone and can cause him to quit early on. Also, if there aren't noticeable change, one can be discouraged given the amount of time he has spent just for doing that exercise regime. However, these problems are not present with yoga. As you can see, yoga does not feel like a routine at all and the noticeable changes one can get from it will obviously drive you more to do this regime for years. It also prepares your mind for long term realization of things.
Yoga is for all ages and walks of life
The difference between yoga and other fitness regimes is that others focus on a much specified niche. Like for example, body building focuses more on men that are buffs. Or martial arts are for those who wants to practice self-defense. The thing is, in yoga, everyone is accepted. Whether or not you are old, young or even a kid, yoga can do wonders for you. Therefore, it is even more interesting to enter a gym where your buddies are men, women, kids and teens. The thing is yoga accepts everyone regardless of the niche that you are in as a person.
Yoga encourages holistic health and sound mind
In addition to yoga being open to all fields, it is also multi-dimensional. Yoga isn't just all about working your abs out or exhausting your every breathe through cardio exercises. Yoga is all about a healthy lifestyle. The practice of yoga is in a way a lifestyle choice that allows one to learn to be steal in a very fast paced environment. Tranquility, purity and peace are the core values of yoga that you are expected to learn and live by in the long term.
Also through deep breathing and meditation, yoga can transition your inner self into a restless one to a person who can handle the problem smoothly. It can help you become self-disciplined and not consumed in problems like relationship, financial capability, several to-do lists, toxic working environment and many other things. It does not teach you to run away and be distracted for a while with those problems, rather it teaches one to be still and face his problems calmly and with peace of mind.
The many faces of Yoga
Yoga isn't just all about saying ohmmm or whatever prejudices you see in movies. Rather, yoga has many style and regimes that can be tailored towards the specific lifestyle that you have. There are hot yoga, yoga for relaxation, yoga for building up power and even prenatal yoga! Whether you want to go in a gym nearby, or you would only want to watch some DVDs, yoga have different faces which you are sure to enjoy in the end.
Basic yoga can improve your posture and breathing while advanced yoga techniques are geared towards improving your muscle strength, flexibility and core. You can therefore choose any of those that stand in the middle with these two yoga types.
The Flexibility of yoga
Yoga can offer a lot of flexibility to you. Depending on your lifestyle, you can choose when to go in a yoga class. Unlike any other regimes that are the most effective if done in the morning, yoga can be done at any part of the day. What's best is that if you are too stressed and fed up with your busy day schedule and job, you can hit a yoga gym and you will surely feel rejuvenated in the end.
Yoga improves body strength
Be not fooled by people who say that yoga are just for weak people. Obviously muscle strength comes from the ability to control someone's movement well as well asr relieving the tension that is present in you. Obviously these are the things that yoga can best do to you. It can train you to control your strength at right precisions and it can also aid you in strengthening your muscles. Yoga can also be done side by side with any other fitness regimes as it can complement to almost all styles.
Yoga does not demand too much time
This is the common problem between almost all fitness regimes. They demand so much time and effort just before a goof effect kicks in in the end. Some needs to be ultimately be given so much attention. It's either therefore you have to deprioritize other things or quit the regime for good- both of which are bad. Yoga on the other hand does not require too much attention and time. Just by giving it a little time day after day you can already notice the difference within yourself. Hence, you do not need to spend so much time and effort for it just to feel relieved and comfortable.
Other effects of yoga in one's body
There are still a lot of benefits yoga can do in one's body and these are just a few of them:
- It increases muscle strength, the flexibility and even endurance that you need in your day to day lives
- Through proper meditation, yoga can improve someone's mental capacity and even stamina.
- Through prolonged breathes and holding some advanced postures, yoga can improve stamina in the long term.
- Since you use your own arms and shoulders to support your weight all throughout, it can improve arm and shoulder strength.
- Poor posture can now be corrected.
- It improves blood circulation as it trains you to control your breathing and have a proper posture
- It promotes any diet that you are currently undergoing since it aims to strengthen your self-discipline
Essentially, yoga does a lot of things to your body once you decide to opt in into it. Aside from it being very essential in correcting one's posture, it can also aid everyone in improving their muscle strength, flexibility, and stamina. Moreover, it can also be a good past time. But it does not only improve your physical attribute, is also opens up your mind to more things. It helps you have a deeper connection with yourself as you generally change your perspective to almost everything. Yoga helps you develop inner serenity and calmness. In totality, yoga is not just your normal exercise program. More than it being a routine, it is a lifestyle choice which you should live by.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
Gotham bricky
Review The only Batman I have ever cared about is the cynical desperate anti-hero of Frank Miller's The Dark Night Returns but Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes may have just changed my mind.
The fall of Superman
Like the Batman franchise the Lego game series is prolific. Since 2005 we have Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter and Indy given the boxy treatment. And I enjoyed them all as, it seems, did a lot of other people. So how is Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes going to expand the franchise? By expanding the world, that's how. But is bigger necessarily better?
Traveller's Tales has decided not to break its successful mould, only add more bricks, make them bigger and offer an abundance of new collectables, content and puzzles in Lego Batman 2.
Build upon your driving skills
Now I had always appreciated that Batman is a man of few words and really enjoyed the slapstick miming of the first instalment. This is still apparent, but is now combined with some excellent voice acting. You can't go wrong with the likes of Clancy Brown – a favourite of mine from such classics as Highlander and Starship Troopers – giving a darkly droll personality to Lex Luthor.
But it's not just the script that breaks new ground. The sheer size and scale of each level eclipse anything I have played in the rest of the Lego franchise, and is helpfully broken up with midlevel checkpoints. Lego Gotham city hub acts as a pivot connecting players to the numerous plot lines and unlocking sections of the city as I progress.
Heating up with the man of steel
My only gripe with the new enlarged Gotham is that its sheer scale makes it a little too easy to lose my way especially for my poor navigational skills – my kingdom for a minimap. Yes, there's a compass and also a trail to follow but too often I found I wasn't sure where I was going especially at high speeds in the Batmobile – this is in no way related to the fine I received in the post today for driving up Lewisham's bus-only high street, m'lud.
