Tax Credits
There are many credits available to claim on your Indiana income tax return.
Information Bulletin #59 lists all the credits available to Indiana taxpayers. Also, the IT-40 instruction booklet (IT-40PNR instruction booklet) has more detailed information about the credits available to be claimed on the income tax return.
Below is a list and a brief discussion of the more commonly claimed credits:
- College credit
- Credit for taxes paid to other states
- Indiana state and county tax withholding credits
- Indiana's earned income credit
- Unified tax credit for the elderly
- School scholarship credit
College Credit
If you donated money or property to an Indiana college or university, you may be able to take a credit.
- For an individual filing a single return, the credit is the lesser of one-half of the amount contributed, or $100.
- For individuals filing a joint return, the credit is the lesser of one-half of the amount contributed, or $200.
Note: Tuition paid to a college or university is not a contribution, and does not qualify for this credit.
Get Schedule CC-40 for complete details.
Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States
Indiana residents must report all income that is reported for federal income tax purposes on their Indiana individual income tax return. This includes income from sources outside Indiana. Likewise, nonresidents who receive income from Indiana generally will owe tax to Indiana on the part of their income that is from or connected with Indiana sources.
When this happens, individuals may be subject to individual income tax by both their state of residence and the state where the income comes from. Indiana has entered into agreements with several states to eliminate the requirement of paying tax to two states on the same income. Tax treatment of out-of-state income depends upon the types of income and the state from which the income is derived.
Note: Indiana only allows credits for individual income tax paid to other states or localities. Other taxes such as property taxes, corporate income taxes, and unincorporated business taxes are not allowed as a basis for claiming such credits.
See Information Bulletin #28 and the IT-40 instruction booklet (IT-40PNR instruction booklet) for details on how to figure and claim this credit.
Indiana State and County Tax Withholding Credits
Claim the Indiana state and Indiana county tax withholding amounts as credits when you file your Indiana income tax return (Forms IT-40, IT-40PNR, IT-40EZ, IT-40RNR or IT-40X).
Indiana withholding amounts may be found on any of the following forms:
- W-2: Wage and Tax Statement
- W-2G: Certain Gambling Winnings
- 1099-G: Certain Government Payments
- 1099-R: Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, etc.
- 1099-MISC: Miscellaneous Income
- WH-18: Miscellaneous Withholding Tax Statement for Nonresidents (Indiana form)
- WH-4852: Indiana Substitute for Form W-2 or Form 1099-R (Indiana form)
Do not claim other state's or non-Indiana locality withholding amounts on your Indiana income tax return. You'll need to contact those states/localities for instructions on how to claim those credits.
Indiana's Earned Income Credit
You may be eligible for Indiana's earned income credit if you have claimed an earned income credit on your federal tax return. Get Schedule IN-EIC and review the detailed instructions beginning on page 27 of the IT-40 instruction booklet (page 31 of the IT-40PNR instruction booklet).
Unified Tax Credit for the Elderly
You may be able to claim the unified tax credit for the elderly if you or your spouse meet all the following requirements:
- You and/or your spouse must have been age 65 or older by the end of the tax year;
- You must file a joint return if you were married and living together at any time during the year;
- Your federal adjusted gross income must be less than $10,000;
- You must claim the credit by June 30 of the tax year;
- You must have been a resident of Indiana for six months or more during the tax year; and
- You must not have been in prison for 180 days or more during the tax year.
The credit ranges from $40 to $140, depending on your age, marital status and income, and must be claimed no later than June 30 following the close of the tax year.
Check out Section VI: Credits Available to the Elderly in Information Bulletin #26 for more information.

I like the simple stuff that blows you away. EtherPad is one of those things.
You go to the site, start typing stuff, and then simply send the URL of the page to someone (or multiple someones) and you're instantly sharing that document. You each see what the other person or people are typing, and their text is highlighted so you can clearly see who typed what.
Then you can export it, etc., as you would expect. So clean. Check out this screencast to get a better grasp of it. ::

With only an image and some text, Jonathan Cormur was challenged to quickly develop a voice to perform for Bob Bergen. First one up to give it a go…first take…and Bergen replies,
You're just not one of us, are you? Wow…dude… that was awesome!
The entire session took nine minutes and the finished product, according to Bergen, "was perfecto." Bob Bergen is a veteran voice actor voice has been heard in hundreds of commercials, animated features, interactive games, and he's the new voice of Porky Pig (originated by Mel Blanc) in Cartoon Network's The Looney Tunes Show. Jonathan has studied with Bob Bergen, Ned Lott, Terry McGovern, Elaine Clark, Holly Dorff, and other voice and industry professionals through Voice One in San Francisco.
Listen to the session to hear Bergen's response and the class reaction.
Jonathan takes direction from Bergen and finesses a character voice.

SPIKE:AFTER THE FALL # 4 finished!
I just read the pdf files for SPIKE:AFTER THE FALL issue 4. Last issue of the series, and it came out wonderful. The entire issue is almost one long scene, but so much is revealed and wrapped up. Franco's art is stellar, his best, easily. He does panels of Illyria's face that are like looking at stills from new episodes of ANGEL (or, in this case, SPIKE).
It's hands down the most brutal issue of any ANGEL/SPIKE book I've ever written (I think runner up is issue 11 of ANGEL:ATF...but it's a distant second). But it's also kinda funny, heartbreaking...I think you'll dig.
Issue 3 comes out this week (or so I've been told) and it's stellar too, I am really proud of this series. Couldn't be happier with how it came out.
9 comments:
My compliments on what promises to be another successful series. This obviously beggars the question as to your future plans regarding these characters. Do you and the talented Mr Urru have any ideas for forth coming adventures?
- September 13, 2008 at 1:16 PM
"Brutal", huh? The chances of Jeremy surviving are looking lower and lower... :\
Really excited about Issue 3 this Wednesday, although it might be a while before I receive it.
(Sidenote: Saw one or two lines from Spike: After the Fall used in fanfiction last week -- with credit -- so you must be doing something right. *g*)

Awesome! I can't wait for #3 and this one to come out so I can see how that arc wraps up!
Kudos on A:ATF as well, just got done with #12 and it was amazing.

I can't wait for it!!! I love Spike After the Fall series! I have got all comic books with Spike! He is my most favorite character! Actually I'm a huge fan of Angel / Buffy shows mostly because of SPIKE. And I'd like to ask you, when Angel ended what will happen with Spike? I'd like his adventures to continue… please! SPIKE is my champion!

Well, in the wake of the horrible happenings in Norway, I've turned off the TV and the radio and all the rest.
I know what happened is horrible. I know it is devastating now, and will continue to be so for the survivors, probably for the rest of their lives.
I know, that thousands of lives are going to be wrecked because of this.
It is beyond words.
I don't want to be caught by a churning TV and endless repetitions of what happened, talked about either in sombre tones, or in the slightly shrill, breathless voices of reporters trying to wring the last drop of drama out of what really isn't a drama, but a tragedy;
instead I've sat down myself to stitch, and to reflect, and to pray.
And I'm halfway there on the hexagon-rectangle TeaRoses.
Very restful colours, and I certainly need those today.

The Freemans sell an explosive hair product on the black market.
Grandad goes Heisenberg in the latest episode of The Boondocks. After the Good Times came to a sudden halt and everything Grandad had worked hard to get fell apart, he's been trying everything to get back on his feet.
This lead to him taking Huey's secret formula (supposedly a new powerful relaxer) he was whipping up in the basement and sold it to a local store owner/gangster. Unfortunately the relaxer wasn't relaxer at all, it's actually a bomb and now the cops are looking for the criminals that cooked it up.

4. Who is your audience?
Before you put pen to paper, you should consider who you hope will pick up your book and read it.
When you know your audience, you have a better idea what they want from your book. Knowing your audience can help you every step of the writing process.
Having a typical reader in mind allows you to check your writing. If you can picture someone reading your book, it will help you as you decide what to put in and what to leave out. For both my books, I cut almost as much out of the book as I left it. I pictured my reader sitting there and realised that some parts of the story were just filler.
Maybe you can test your finished book out on some people from your target group before you publish or submit to a professional publisher. Later you will have a better idea how to market your book when you know your typical reader.
For example, if a book is written for teens, you might have more success marketing on Facebook. If it is for older adults, you might have more success meeting groups of people at library or service group presentations.
In my case I want to share my stories with other women moving into the "empty nest" stage of life. I hope to motivate people who want to get out into the world and do something different but are not sure how. Now I know to advertise where older women gather. I can picture my typical reader and speak directly to her.
Deciding your audience early on does not mean a teenager will not pick up your book about your life in the fifties, or an older person won't identify with the story of your first teen romance. One of my first fans was my brother-in-law who read my book in one sitting and then came back with some complimentary comments. I never thought about a man reading my book.
When you have your message, your story, and the tone of your work, then it will probably lead to your audience. If not, choose one. It is much easier to write a book for one group. If you try to make it please everyone it will be tough. Do you leave out profanity or will your readers expect it? What about modern jargon, such as text speak or computer jargon? Will your readers understand it or should you explain?
Not everyone will love your book and that is okay. Not even the most famous authors in the world are loved by everyone. But if you have a target audience, and you know who you hope will pick up your book, you have a great place to start when writing, editing, and marketing.

The new Black Series Ball Bearing Units from FAG stand for easy mounting, quiet running and high reliability. The dimensions of the painted cast iron housings are according to JIS 1559 B. Radial insert ball bearings based on series 62 are fitted in the housings. The outer and inner rings of the radial insert ball bearings have a DUROTECT® B coating in order to provide improved anti-corrosion protection. The characteristic, black units are particularly suitable for applications with medium to high loads such as in agricultural machinery, drive technology, conveying technology, pumps or in the steel industry.
Simple mounting
Misalignments are compensated by the matched design of the housing and the radial insert bearing and the plus tolerance of the bore. Reworking of the shaft is no longer required. In addition, two self-retaining set screws that are offset by 120° securely locate the inner ring on the shaft. A suitable Allen key is supplied with every ball bearing unit. This reduces the mounting outlay to a minimum.
Quiet running and low friction
The Black Series Ball Bearing Units also make a convincing case during operation due to their proven FAG quality standard. The optimized internal geometry, honed raceways and high ball quality ensure quiet running and the low frictional torque of the radial insert ball bearings. This reduces the energy requirements of applications. The energy efficiency is further improved with the extremely low-friction plastic cage.
High reliability and long bearing operating life
Minimum friction also involves minimum heat generation and therefore a maximum grease operating life. The ball bearing units are supplied prelubricated and can be easily relubricated via a lubrication nipple if required. The seal that is firmly staked in the outer ring retains the grease in the bearing and thus allows easier relubrication. It has a vulcanized seal lip that effectively prevent dust and water entering the bearing. To protect the seal lip against damage an outer flinger shield is fitted on the inner ring. In addition, the radial insert ball bearings have an improved anti-corrosion protection. An antirotation pin locates the outer ring firmly in the housing. The robust Black Series Ball Bearing Units are most suitable for challenging operating conditions. The relevant application requires less maintenance. This saves the operator time and money.
Product range
The FAG Black Series Ball Bearing Units are supplied with both metric and inch bore diameters. Schaeffler Group Industrial is initially offering one pillow block housing unit as well as a two bolt and a four bolt flange unit. These will be followed by further housing types and a range of diameters that will be increased successively.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Encore!
Audiences were roused to their feet at Susan Wagner High School after gripping performances of the Broadway pop-opera "Les Miserables" last month on the Sea View auditorium's stage — shows sung, acted and staged so beautifully, that it was, frankly, shocking the actors and musicians were only high school students.
Now their talent and achievement will be on display for an even wider swath of the community, as the ensemble of 80 takes their soaring rendition of the musical to the professional stage of the St. George Theater, Friday and Sunday — marking the first time high school theater has made it to Staten Island's own version of the Great White Way.
"There was a quality of the musicians; the acting, the singing, their stage hands, their sets," said Doreen Cugno, executive director of the St. George Theatre, describing why she invited the group to reprise the show at the 1,500-seat venue, which regularly books such top-shelf names as Tony Bennett and Diana Ross. "I want them to have the opportunity to perform with a professional team and work with our professional team; and I want to encourage the younger generation to have a passion and love for theater and appreciate the historic value of the St. George Theatre in their community."
So strongly did Ms. Cugno believe in this show, that the not-for-profit theater underwrote the roughly $10,000 in costs associated with putting on such a production — expenses which include the fee for the rights to the Broadway hit (about $4,000), along with two days of labor of the theater's professional technical team, and the overhead costs associated with just opening the doors to the splendid, rococo building.
Any profits made will go to the not-for-profit theater.
"For some of them this will be the first and last time they are on a professional stage; others will go on, but it will be life-changing for all of them," said Diane Zerega, the head of the school's drama department and director of the show, about her young charges. "When kids give back to what they love so much — Island theater — they have a chance to make history. This isn't just about 'Les Miserables,' it's about the future of Broadway, right here in our own backyard."
Of course the actors will be working for peanuts, zilcho — or more correctly, only for love.
As part of the hundreds of hours they have put into this production, today the stagehand crew will break down the mammoth, custom-built sets to prepare them to be transported to the theater in St. George. (The 18-wheeler which will convey the sets tomorrow was donated).
"You can't make anyone do it; some people have the passion and they have to do it. The students performing, this is all their passion," said Paul Corn the assistant principal of Susan Wagner's Performing and Visual Arts Program. "This is about enriching their lives; it adds value to their lives culturally, which they will pass on to their friends, their families, their children. It's a beautiful thing."
For Caitlin Marino, who plays the role of Fontaine, the opportunity to perform at the St. George Theatre deepens her connection to theater as well as her connection to the borough.
"St. George Theatre is part of my home and to bring this school there is a big deal," said the high school senior who hopes to be a drama teacher, inspired by her experience in the program. "It's going to change the way we look at theater and other professionals in productions."
Having a professional venue to showcase their dedication and the high level of their craft, elevates all high school students across the Island, said Valerie Aro, a junior with a powerful stage presence, who plays Mme. Thenardier.
"A lot of people think Staten Island kids are out there doing things they shouldn't be," she said. "This shows another side of what we can do."
Priced at $20 and $12, tickets can be purchased by calling the St. George Theatre, 718-442-2900, Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. or via ticketmaster.com or at the door(subject to availability).

Further experiments in living without sunlight.

Friday, January 04, 2008
Thursday night might have been crazy in Iowa, but it was a wild one on both Coasts as well. Britney lost her kids and we did a session with Get Help - coincidence? Well, yeah, but it's still fun to compare the relative time lines of Britney's night and ours. I didn't adjust for the time difference between New York and LA 'cause then it doesn't work, and time is relative anyhow.
6:30 p.m.: Tony has arrived at Smoke and Mirrors (Mike is already present). We all discuss how cold it is outside. In Los Angeles it's 75 and sunny.
7 p.m.: Britney's scheduled time to hand over custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 15 months, to Kevin Federline's bodyguard. In Brooklyn, we are scheduled to to remove 8 bars from the introduction to "Stomach."
7:02 p.m. K-Fed's bodyguard attempts to remove the children. Chris attempts to remove 8 bars from the introduction to "Stomach."
7:11 p.m.: Chris attempts to remove 8 bars from the introduction to "Stomach."
7:12 p.m.: Spears refuses to release her babies to Federline's muscle. Mike asks Chris why he doesn't try the "Stomach" edit on the downbeat; Chris has no response.
8:30 p.m.: Police arrive at Spears' home after being called about a "custodial dispute." In Brooklyn, the outside temperature has dropped to 16 degrees, but the Accuweather Real Feel Temperature is more like 6.
8:35 p.m. Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, arrives at Spears' crib. At precisely the same time, I leave the studio on a rare Beer and Cigarettes run. Tony pays.
8:36 p.m.: Damn! It's f'ng cold.
8:42 p.m.: I return with 8 beers, 2 malt beverages, and a pack of Marlboro Lights. The change is 75 cents, which I forget to give Tony.
8:43 - 9:00 pm - presumably, Federline's lawyer tries to get his client's Babymama to "do this the easy way." At this point she has the cops, K-Fed's goon and lawyer, and half of the Beverly Hills Fuzz at her house. We've moved on to "Life is Full of Surprises."
9:01 p.m.: We all agree that Tony's vocals sound "great." It occurs to me that we should use Take 1 on Part 2 and Take 2 on Part 1.
9:02 p.m.: Kaplan leaves Spears' home.
9:03 p.m.: Small Chronic Break (both locations)
9:30 p.m.: Ted draws, then renders, a fade between two bits of Mike's vocal on "Town Fires." No one present can "hear the edit," which is good. In Los Angeles the media has mobilized and the Spears Compound is under tight surveillance.
10:08 p.m.: News helicopters hover over Spears' property. Officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department observes that she appears to be under the influence of an "unknown substance." You can write your own joke for this one.
10:50 p.m.: The fire department arrives at Spear's hideaway. We prop open the door to the hallway to "get some air."
11:04 p.m.: I tell Buck we need to "call his mother" (Annie). We head toward the back alley in search of a cellphone signal.
11:05 p.m.: Paramedics take a gurney and a backboard into Spears' home. Buck takes Suspicious Chicken to the back alley and refuses to bring it back in.
11:06 p.m.: CBS reports a mental evaluator is also called to Brit's abode. "Thoughts from a room with no windows" reports nothing.
11:25 p.m.: An ambulance pulls into Spears' driveway, parking behind her car. In Brooklyn, the studios alcohol reserves are running low.
11:26 p.m.: We decide to "wrap it up."
11:50 p.m.: An ambulance carrying Spears and other emergency vehicles leave the scene en route to Cedars Sinai Hospital; it's reported that Sean Preston and Jayden James are also taken in for evaluation. Tony and Mike exit 17 Moultrie Street and (presumably) are taken home in an ambulance, other emergency vehicle, or public transportation.

Here's something everyone should see.
Mikedot and I are deep in a mutual ass kissing fest, conducted entirely over the wire, which is the way I like it. But this isn't just a cheap attempt to win his favor and get the chance to record more of his music. He introduced me to Grandaddy, the band I currently fantasize about fronting, and that's worthy of at least one post.
The great thing about this video, other than the video itself, is that someone made it using the most basic of tools (a 48K Apple II - hell, this post is probably bigger than 48K and only about half as cool). Like a single coil pickup wired straight to a vacuum tube, it's a great example of using minimal technology to delve deep into the heart of the universe. Let the molecules do the work; that's why they're there.

Here's some sports news, taken directly from here:
To get to the meat of the story, I made a few edits, all of which are clearly marked. Enjoy!
Boston 110, LA Lakers 91
By KEN PETERS, AP Sports Writer
December 31, 2007
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Wearing short shorts and having Hall of Famer Jerry West in the building … the Los Angeles Lakers revive(d) their storied rivalry with the Boston Celtics…
The Lakers introduced West as their honorary captain before the game, showed highlights from past players … and wore throwback, short shorts for the first half…
Boston coach Doc Rivers enjoyed the big screen video.
"I don't know if it spurred anyone on, but it gave everyone a history lesson in some ways… really cool to watch," he said.
He smiled and added, "I told Kobe, the one thing I know from this point on, our generation had better bodies than their generation."
"I don't know what it feels like to wear a thong, but I imagine it feels something like what we had on in the first half," he (Bryant) said with a grin. "…I felt naked."
There obviously was a lot of emotion during the game…(the refereess) called seven technical fouls at different junctures.. (including) on coach Rivers and the Lakers' Bryant…
(Rivers) said. "… everyone was excited, both the teams and the refs."
(Lamar) Odom also was called for a flagrant foul late in the game, with Ray Allen drawing his "technical" (quotation marks added) on the same play (emphasis added).
Allen said of that brief tangle, " I got the rebound and he tackled me."
(ed. Note – Although thousands of fans cheered as they watched, Allen appears to be denying that he enjoyed the "brief tangle", implying that he and Odom may not play for the same team.)
He said, "I know this is Sunday, but this is the wrong field."
A quick lesson in determining if a band is worth its salt: do they know where they fit? If they do, they're worth nothing. If they do what they do and let the listeners and critics catch up, then they're worthy. They're worthy of salt.

In just a few hours we'll begin doing our part to help bring the second House of Blondes record to fruition.
You know the story - band finishes project and either drifts away or rides the wave of inspiration to create. Fortunately, it appears that the latter has happened to John Blonde and his House.
John and fellow Blonde Paul Reyes have been writing feverishly, using Garageband I believe (more about that little program in another post) and making some pretty good "demos". These days a demo can be a record, and with Garageband in the hands of writers, arrangers, and musicians, there can be a surprising amount of depth in a recording made primarily to write. I have no doubt tracks that John and Paul have already created will find their way into the new record. It's much like what Blonde Mike I. has been doing with His Friend Tony in their band Get Help.
A very productive way to produce, no question.
I'm excited about the new project, at least partly because John seems so excited. Every collaborative effort deserves someone to keep the dream moving forward, and John's the perfect person to play this role. After all, he created the part.
That he would ask us to be involved with the next stage in the Ascent of the House of Blondes is flattering, to say the least.

"I suggest as a solution what has worked so well in nearly every other aspect of my life, both personal and professional: more reverb."
-Tony from Get Help, suggesting a way to improve a stubborn mix
In light of the Mitchell report, I'd like to weigh in on the issue of performance enhancing drugs.
To me, the term "performance enhancing drug" is redundant (except for when it's an oxymoron). You could look at any drug as being performance enhancing; without this pill to lower my blood pressure I'd die, which would affect my performance. I'm a professional but not that professional.
Having a teammate/roadie inject something into your buttocks to help you throw that 98mph fastball/play those 32nd notes is simply a natural consequence of a world that values fastballs/32nd notes. Of course, if we were happy with quarter notes we'd simply use a different type of enhancement. There's a reason the Velvet Underground did speed while the Floyd did... other things.
Caffeine enhances my performance until the Effexor kicks in.
The real question should be who's using drugs to enhance their appreciation of the performance. In other words, without beer, would anyone sit through an entire football game?

Tonight, Strikes Again!
This record (working title "Cure All") is rapidly reaching the finish line. Any day now we're going to look around at each other ("we" being me and whoever still has any hearing left) and say "Sheeet, that's it, eh?" or something like that.
At that point I hope they duplicate it and pass it out. If they don't I will. I've said it before: the reason I really do all this recording is to receive the finished record*, preferably in shrinkwrap, when all is said and done. That's the real payment. Fuck iTunes or CDBaby, I want Product with a big "P". I want to try and decipher the average publishing credit or figure out why I wasn't listed as "Aural Sherpa". I want something to put on the shelf next to the Jerk Alert CD. This is the hardest part of the process, releasing the damn thing. What good is having a baby if you aren't going to show it off at the ice cream social?
I'll say this - musicians have become experts at barcodes. They might spell the name of the studio wrong, they may forget just who did that tambourine overdub, they may even skimp on the shrinkwrap, but they've figured out how to get that barcode on the back of the jewel case (or, increasingly, digipack). Why does The Beast get such a good credit? What did the Dark One ever do for rock and roll?
Oh, that's right. Sorry.
* the term "record" is here used to indicate both compact discs and traditional "vinyl" records. If your music exists solely on the iTunes Music Store, you have not made a "record". You've made a "recording". Any fool with a microphone can make a recording. Make a record.

Rape claim was cover for cheating on husband, charges allege
A St. Paul psychologist is accused of making up the attack and changing her story several times; her attorney points to prescription medication that she was taking.
By James Walsh, Star Tribune
Last update: December 18, 2007 - 7:33 PM
A St. Paul psychologist who claimed she was raped by a patient in her office in October 2006 has instead been charged with falsely reporting a crime.
Authorities say that Jill Ajao, 41, made the rape claim to conceal an extramarital affair and to "protect herself and her family." The false report prompted a detailed police investigation, the release of a suspect sketch and surveillance photo and the sifting through of hundreds of tips, according to the criminal complaint filed last week.
Police spokesman Tom Walsh said Tuesday that it was unusual for his department to seek the charges against a woman who claimed to be a victim and police did so only after a thorough investigation.
"It's extremely rare. It's rare because we don't want victims not to report" a crime, he said. "But it's very clear that this young woman was not sexually assaulted. And given the fear that she created in our community, we felt that this action was necessary."
Falsely reporting a crime is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Jerod Peterson, an attorney for Ajao, said that she is "a thoughtful, intelligent psychologist" whose personal behavior in late 2006 was affected by medication prescribed to her for a post-partum thyroid condition.
"We believe that the court will respond compassionately to the charge against her once the incident has been described in its proper context," Peterson said.
"The complaint against Ms. Ajao does not accurately describe the single isolated incident upon which the charge is based," he said.
According to the complaint, this is what authorities say happened:
On Oct. 26, 2006, Ajao called police and tearfully reported she had been raped by a patient named Jeff in her Selby Avenue office two days before. She described specifics of the attack. She said that Jeff had not filled out any of the required paperwork for his appointment. Ajao said she had never seen him before but would recognize him if she saw him again.
But, on Oct. 28, Ajao contacted police and changed her story. She said she'd met the rapist at a restaurant down the hall from her office and that surveillance video would show her walking with him. She also said she had gone to a store to buy sex-related novelties and speculated that her attacker may have seen her there.
On Oct. 30, a witness from the restaurant said she saw Ajao and a man together in the bar talking before leaving together and that they seemed "familiar with each other." Also on Oct. 30, police released a surveillance photo of the man and received hundreds of calls from the public.
On Jan. 6, Ajao again changed her story. This time, she said she'd met the man online and that he suggested that she go to the novelty store. She said she didn't expect to meet the man the day they got together and that there was an expectation that "there would be no sex."
On Feb. 9, 2007, the man asked Ajao in an e-mail whether she "finally admitted that the encounter was consensual and that she claimed rape to cover up an affair. She replied 'yes,' " the complaint said.
A factor in seeking charges, Walsh said, was that the man she said raped her had been subjected to public attention when his photo was shown in the media to help police solve an alleged rape.

I started this piece in 2007 or 2008. I am pretty sure that it was after the death of my father but while I was still living at home. I had recently discovered that there were LNSs that weren't Michael's, Hobby Lobby or Jo-Ann and I saw "Do Not Meddle" while I was at this LNS over by State Fair Park in Milwaukee (I fear the shop has closed since then). I was in my fantasy phase, so I picked it up along with some nice sparkly opalescent fabric.
|Yes, it's out of print. No, you can't have my pattern. Try eBay.
I blogged a little bit about that over at Stitching The Night Away.
This piece is sort of like Mel's Dragons over at Epic Stitching. Hers took about 7.5 years. Mine took between 7-8 years. Mine is nowhere near as complicated as hers though.
Since I've started this piece, I've...
- Eloped
- Moved from WI to TX
- Moved twice within TX
- Had two children
- Had both those children get diagnosed with Autism
- Been involved in a mass layoff
- Got my MA in teaching with teaching certificate

The European Court of Justice and external relations law : constitutional challenges
Title: The European Court of Justice and external relations law : constitutional challenges
Editor(s): CREMONA, Marise ; THIES, Anne
Date: 2014
Publisher: Hart Publishing
Citation: Oxford : Hart Publishing, 2014, Modern studies in European Law
This edited collection appraises the role, self-perception, reasoning and impact of the European Court of Justice on the development of EU external relations law. Against the background of the recent recasting of the EU Treaties by the Treaty of Lisbon and at a time when questions arise over the character of the Court's judicial reasoning and the effect of international legal obligations in its case law, it discusses the contribution of the Court to the formation of the EU as an international actor and the development of EU external relations law, and the constitutional challenges the Court faces in this context. To what extent does the position of the Court contribute to a specific conception of the EU? How does the EU's constitutional order, as interpreted by the Court, shape its external relations? The Court still has only limited jurisdiction over the EU's common foreign and security policy: why has this decision been taken, and what are its implications? And what is the Court's own view of the relationship between court(s) and foreign policy, and of its own relationship with other international courts? The contributions to this volume show that the Court's influence over EU external relations derives first from its ability to shape and define the external competence of the EU and resulting constraints on the Member States, and second from its insistence on the autonomy of the EU legal order and its role as 'gatekeeper' to the entry and effect of international law into the EU system. It has not – in the external domain – overtly exerted influence through shaping substantive policy, as it has, for example in relation to the internal market. Nevertheless the rather 'legalised' nature of EU external relations and the significance of the EU's international legal commitments mean that the role of the Court of Justice is more central than that of a national court with respect to the foreign policy of a nation state. And of course its decisions can nonetheless be highly political.

Free Office with 1 TB of storage space for all school children and school teachers in primary and secondary schools!
On 19 December 2014, the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports has announced the service of free Office 365 use and installation for all school children and school teachers in primary and secondary schools in Croatia. This is a result of cooperation of the Ministry with the Croatian Academic and Research Network - CARNet and Microsoft Hrvatska.
This enables free access to Office 365 tools to all school children and school teachers in primary and secondary schools, which they can realise by using their electronic identity within the AAI@EduHr system. In addition to being able to access the Office 365 cloud services, all school children and school teachers are allowed to install the Office 365 Pro Plus tool on five computers and five mobile devices (tablets, smartphones).
Microsoft Office 365 tools will facilitate the communication between school children and school teachers and enable distribution of teaching and learning materials, thereby improving the effectiveness of the learning process. The tools include the following: access to e-mail with 50 GB of storage space, access to OneDrive cloud storage with 1 TB of storage space per user, Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote), Yammer social network, as well as Lync, which enables audio and video conference calls and messaging. Users can log in with their data at https://office365.skole.hr which grants them access to all Office 365 tools and applications. For customer support, students and teachers can send an e-mail to CARNet's helpdesk at email@example.com.
This new project has been presented at the press conference by Mr. Vedran Mornar, Minister of Science, Education and Sports, Mrs. Branka Vuk, Deputy CEO for Education Support at CARNet and Mr. Ivan Vidaković, CEO of Microsoft Hrvatska.

Last month, we shared an inside look at The Perfect Shave by The Nomad Barber. Our wandering friend has now released a brand new episode touring the USA visiting some of our best Barbers. What I love most about these videos is the personality of the featured Barbers. Women go to their "stylist" to gab and chat and men visit the Barber. If you've never been to a Barber, it's high time you did. Flip over the back of your man card and read #6. Every man must visit a proper Barber shop for a cut and shave. Hey, that's the rules. Give it a watch, he may have visited one of your local Barber's.
We'd love to know what your favorite Barber Shop is. Leave a comment below and let him know where he should go next!

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"How reliable is the rhythm method of contraception?"
My boyfriend and I were hoping to do a more natural form of contraception, and I was looking into the rhythm method. Is this as effective as condoms, diaphrams, etc?
You should definitely speak with your primary care or OB GYN regarding your options. Generally, the rhythm method is not an effective form of contraception. In fact, the number of women who become pregnant with this method is quite high, and this should not be used as the sole method of preventing pregnancy unless you are well informed about the relatively high risk of becoming pregnant and are ok with becoming pregnant. Over the course of a year, more than 25% of couples that carefully practice the rhythm method will become pregnant. While it is understandable that many couples wish to avoid medical means of contraception for religious or health reasons, there is a great body of research that demonstrates that it is much less effective. That does not mean that it is not the right choice for some people, it just means that you need to know that, statistically speaking, your odds of becoming pregnant while using this method are quite high. If you are worried about your overall health in taking any type of contraceptive, you should speak to your health care provider. He or she will have more specifics that might help making your decision a bit easier. Also, any woman of child bearing age who is sexually active should have proper nutrition and consider a multivitamin, among other health changes. Book an appointment with your primary care doctor or OB GYN.

After making the Steamed Tofu with Fish Paste & Black Bean Topping, I still had quite a bit of tofu leftover. In a standard box of 900g Silky Firm tofu, you get about 12 pieces. I still had 6 pieces remaining after yesterday night's dinner. I also still had a bit of fish paste left, but I'll leave that for later. Right now I just wanted a quick snack.
Tofu.. Snack ? Agedashi Tofu ?
Fried tofu with dashi stock ... humm.. yes pls.. :)
If your not looking for an over rubbery version of Agedashi Tofu, then Potato starch probably works best, better than cornflour actually. Also try to look for Silken Firm Tofu in the grocery store. The softer tofu types makes it a bit harder to handle during the coating and frying process. I actually had quite a bit of dashi stock still leftover, feel free to halve the dashi stock or just fry more tofu pieces. I prefer to retain some of the crispiness of the tofu pieces. To do this, just avoid pouring the stock over the tofu pieces and only pour enough so that it comes to about 1/2 way up the tofu pieces.
Agedashi Tofu
- 3 pieces of Silken Firm Tofu
- Potato starch (with a couple grinds of salt) - enough for dusting the tofu pieces
- Grapeseed oil - enough for shallow pan frying
- 3/4 cup dashi stock (1 tablespoon dashi granules dissolved in 3/4 cup of hot water)
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
For the Toppings:
- Daikon - Japanese white radish (grated)
- Roasted seaweed strips
- Bonito flakes
- Spring onions (finely sliced)
- Place the tofu pieces on top of paper towels, and let sit for about 15 mins to remove the excess moisture. Carefully turn the pieces over let sit for another 5 mins.
- While the tofu pieces are drying, mix the dashi stock with mirin and light soy sauce and set aside.
- After the tofu pieces have dried, coat them thoroughly with the lightly seasoned potato starch.
- In a saucepan, pour in enough oil so there is about 0.5cm layer. Enough to shallow fry the tofu pieces. Carefully put the coated tofu pieces in to fry, turning every couple mins on each side. When every side has turned golden, remove and drain on paper towels to remove the excess oil.
- Place the tofu pieces in a bowl. Garnish with roasted seaweed strips, grated daikon, bonito flakes and sliced spring onions. Pour some of the dashi stock into the bowl (not over the top of the tofu pieces), until it reaches about 1/2 way up the tofu pieces and serve immediately.

Noting that the company has underwritten a total of 5 GW of offshore wind thus far, GCube says that while clear growth within offshore wind persists, the industry needs to take some extra steps to ensure that wind energy assets are 'investment grade' in the long term.
With limited opportunities for debt within the offshore wind capital structure, unknown risks from the power price, regulatory risks, technology risks and the resource fluctuation of wind energy itself, offshore wind poses a number of investor challenges, according to the company. These challenges are further compounded by government pressure to lower the cost base of the industry and continued policy uncertainty.
In order to overcome this future industry investment impasse, GCube says a step change needs to take place in the way that future offshore wind assets are built, managed and valued. This will entail seeking greater levels of collaboration between investors, developers and operators at an earlier stage; ensuring that projects are more effectively geared toward the needs of capital providers and that they can adapt to the regulatory and policy environment.
"It seems obvious, but as new projects continue to come online and as existing technology improves, develops and matures, offshore wind energy still carries a large amount of risk," comments Jatin Sharma, GCube's head of offshore wind.

Last week, members of the Information School attended the 2017 iConference in Wuhan, China. One of our academic staff, senior lecturer Dr Andrew Cox, gives his highlights below, along with some of his photos from the trip.
My highlights of the 2017 iConference included one of our PhD students, Piyapat Jarusawat, presenting her excellent paper "Community involvement in the Management of Palm Leaf Manuscripts as Lanna Cultural Material in Thailand" to a packed audience. The paper was shortlisted for the award for Most Interesting Preliminary Research Paper.
Another of our PhD students, Shuyang Li, also gave an excellent research presentation.
Our Head of School, Professor Peter Bath gave a presentation announcing Sheffield as the venue for the iConference in 2018. We are hosting this event in collaboration with Northumbria University.
We held an informal social dinner with some of our Chinese alumni around the conference proceedings, which was lovely. I also bumped into another alumni, Yidi Jiang, by chance on a train station platform on the way to the airport - what are the chances?
Of course there was also the chance for some good sightseeing. We visited the Hubei museum (above) and the Guiyuan Temple (below).
There was some lovely cherry blossom on the Wuhan University campus tour (above) and we had some great views of the Yangtse river (below, and top).

However, I have other topic would like to shear.
As one of the BcFin skill test - Handcrafters patch, there is a task to make "Needle case from natural material". this is something I wanted to make for sometime and the material I need for this was finally ready to be used, so I gave a shot.
The material used was the deer bone I got from BcFin spring meetup, nettle fiber harvested from my yard, pine resin corrected from forest, leather and beeswax bought from shop.
first i cut off the needed length out of bone, then shaped to desired shape using only knife. it is not difficult to shape bone with knife, but surely was hard on my knife. I needed complete resharpening after this task.... but good finding was that the blade did not take any chippings.
here are the all components lined up. Nettle fiber are boiled in ash water solution and 4 strains twisted.
leather is cut to size, i decided to use folded sheet to get more friction when the needles are in place.
when the nettle cordage gets dry, it shrinks and twist gets loose. also this will be hanged from belt, I need to make this cordage somehow even stronger. so, made some protecting agent.
it is a mixture of pine resin and beeswax.melt them together, then strain it using cotton cloth.
Once the mix is cooled, apply it on nettle cordage then rob it hard. the heat generated by robbing will make the wax+resin mix soak in to cordage. This makes the cordage much stronger by adding great water repelling and wear resistance.
Then it is time to put all together.... but while I was at it, I wanted to add one more component. if this is meant to be used for sewing leather, it will need thread wax. so add more beeswax in to previous wax+resin mix, made home made thread wax.
Stuff this in to bottom button so when I need more wax on the thread, I just need to run the thread through the wax.
Now, every thing is done. I also engrave bit of decorative markings and my logo, colored it with the powder made from inner birch bark.
The traditional Finnish method and style contraction of a needle case but with Japanese taste?
Well... now I got this one, want to make awl matching to this kit, and Kuksa,,, and coffee pouch....

Who is ready to #LOSEYOURMIND tomorrow for Season 3B of MTV's Teen Wolf winter premiere? In honor of one of my favorite shows, I decided to put together a winter look, "Alpha Style," with this Teen Wolf printed sweater from Forever 21. How rad is this crew neck sweater?! I wore a plaid button up and pulled over a wolf pack printed sweater. To complete the look, I added a puffer vest for texture and additional warmth paired with my maroon skinnies.

The Making of...Dead Pixels
The Zombie horde is threatening to take over XBLIG. It feels like not a week goes past without undead reinforcements shuffling onto Microsoft's online service. This is partly down to the success of I Maed a game with Zombies (or however it's written); and partly due to gamers' fascination with this genre, heightened ever since Resident Evil first appeared 15 years ago. With its slightly unusual title, however, Dead Pixels caught my eye, so after a brief play of the demo, I ascertained this would be a game for me and parted company with another 80 MSP. I spoke to developer cantstraferight, aka John Common about the idea and development of Dead Pixels and started by asking him about the odd name for his development company.
"It's a name I've used for many years," John begins, "and takes some explaining. The short version of the story is that whilst drunk once, a girl bit my left index finger. At the time I was playing a lot of Unreal Tournament online and my finger hurt if I strafed right." Must have been some bite, I comment, and John proudly adds that he was still able to win most games despite his disability which encouraged him to adopt the unusual moniker.
John lives in rural Scotland and learnt to program at school and then college. After several failed attempts and efforts to learn how to produce games on a variety of platforms, he came across the XNA framework and has since made eight games, of which four have been released. However, he considers Dead Pixels to be his first proper game. "I had the idea for the game from the start and this was maintained all the way through the development process. Certain things changed, but the basic idea stayed the same," confirms John, "as it was always going to be a side-scrolling RPG with zombies and an 8-bit look."
Dead Pixels took John around seven months to complete, much longer than he originally intended: "My first estimated released date was the first of April 2011 but it kept getting pushed back as the scope of the game changed." I ask him if at any point he was worried about the game's reception given the high number of Zombie titles present on XBLIG. "A little, perhaps," says John, "although as it turns out our customers don't seem too bothered, but I often get the feeling websites have ignored it thinking it as just another zombie game." Dead Pixels also contains a fair amount of referencing as John acknowledged the various influences on his game. "Game-wise the obvious ones are River City Ransom, Metal Slug and RPG's in general," he says, "and these influenced the design of Dead Pixels. I also looked through my collection of 8-bit games and took little bits and pieces from games such as Alien Syndrome, Chakan, Ax Battler and many more." So it appears Dead Pixels has a fine pedigree in gaming influences and this is echoed with references to the films Dawn of the Dead and Zombieland as well as the classic undead franchise, Resident Evil. "I included Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in the soundtrack," tells John, "which was used in one of the puzzles in the original Resident Evil. I'm surprised at how many people get that reference. Perhaps it shows gamers' love for zombies!"
Going back to the design itself, I wonder whether John considered expanding the RPG elements? "I did consider adding helmets and armour but that would have meant changing the character's sprite," he notes, "and the amount of time needed to draw all the new graphics would have driven me insane. I decided I had enough to do as it was!" So with further gameplay advances abandoned, John concentrated on creating the very strange "old movie" effects that are utilised in Dead Pixels. "Originally the plan was to add a little noise to hide how plain and clean my sprites were," he explains, "and then I started watching trailers for seventies exploitation films and decided to go over the top with it." John was partly worried players would hate it as they would find it distracting (hence the option to turn these effects off), but says the response to this sheen of 70's authenticity has been universally positive.
Is there any part of the game that John feels could be improved? "The thing that bugs me most is the walking animation of the zombies." he says ruefully, "I'm not very good at animating and feel that maybe I should have had another attempt at drawing their legs!" Despite this, is he proud of the game? "Very much so. The amount of comments about how polished the game is makes me feel I've really achieved something. People are out there playing it and that's all I really wanted."
Finally, I ask John what the future holds for Cantstraferight? "I'm currently working on two new game modes for Dead Pixels which will be added to the game for free," says John excitedly, "and I have many new ideas for a sequel as well. I think I'd like to take a break from zombies for a few months though!" John is also programming a version of Dead Pixels for the PC which he hopes will see the light of day early next year.

Interaction of dietary non-starch polysaccharides with weaner pig growth and postweaning colibacillosis
McDonald, D.E., Pluske, J.R., Pethick, D.W. and Hampson, D.J. (1998) Interaction of dietary non-starch polysaccharides with weaner pig growth and postweaning colibacillosis. In: 15th International Pig Veterinary Society Congress, 5 - 9 July, Birmingham, UK p. 96.
Download (106kB) | Preview
Postweaning colibacillosis remains an important production-limiting condition in many piggeries. Its occurrence can be influenced by many factors, including the composition of the weaner diet (1). There is some evidence that feeding diets high in non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) may alleviate postweaning colibacillosis (2,3). In this study we examined the effect of dietary NSP in the weaner pig on body growth and the interaction with experimentally reproduced post-weaning colibacillosis.

For Immediate Release: Aug. 29, 2014
PPSNE encourages women to schedule a checkup in recognition of Ovarian and Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month.
(New Haven, Conn.) — September is both National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month and Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) encourages women of all ages to schedule a preventive health screening.
About 22,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year in the U.S., and approximately 14,250 will die from the disease. Additionally, about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year and around 4,000 will die from the disease.
"Gynecological health is important at all stages of adult life. Cervical cancer can affect women before or after menopause," said Judy Tabar President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southern New England. "Women should talk with their health care providers to see how often they should be screened. Preventive health screenings are important and can help detect cancer early."
Whether you – or someone you know – are due for an important preventive health screening, remember the following:
- Know your body. Being aware of your body – how it normally looks and feels – is important at any age. If you notice any changes, tenderness or pain, get checked out by a health care provider as soon as possible.
- Know your risk factors. Learn the risks of gynecologic cancers, including a family history of ovarian or breast cancer, and take steps to prevent and catch them early when they are most treatable.
- Know your next checkup date. The earlier cancer is detected and treated, the better. The frequency for checkups is different for different women, but everyone should see their health care providers regularly.
"Thanks to the Affordable Care Act's preventive health benefits, more women have access to routine well-woman exams, cervical cancer screenings, and breast exams without copays or other out-of-pocket expenses," Tabar said.
Planned Parenthood of Southern New England works every day to provide high-quality preventive health care. Last year, PPSNE provided more than 12,000 life-saving cancer screenings and preventative services. PPSNE health centers can also help those, who need additional care, connect with trusted, quality resources.
To learn more about PPSNE health care services, call (203) 865-5158 or visit ppsne.org.
Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) is one of the region's largest providers of family planning and reproductive health care services. Since 1923, PPSNE has evolved into an organization with 18 health centers in Connecticut and Rhode Island, delivering care to over 70,000 patients annually, and 90 percent of the services provided are preventive.

Captain putting no pressure on Garboldisham
Danny Cash says there will be no pressure on Garboldisham Cricket Club to replicate last season's heroics in 2017
Garboldisham were the surprise package in the Cecil Amey Opticians Norfolk Cricket Alliance Premier Division last season, finishing second in their debut campaign in the league's top flight.
But ahead of their season opener at home to last season's Division One champions Horsford II tomorrow (1pm), Garby captain Cash reveals expectations have not been raised at The Langley.
"We're buoyed by what we did last season, it was a remarkable season and we didn't expect to finish second," he said.
"Having finished our first season in second, we now have a bit of a target on our back and I think some teams will see us as a big scalp and want to try to turn us over.
"We haven't put any pressure on ourselves. We just want to play our cricket and see where it takes us.
"If we put in the performances we are capable of then I think we'll be up there, but there's no pressure on us.
"We'll go out there and play our style of cricket and see where we end up."
Garboldisham have enjoyed a remarkable rise in the Norfolk Cricket Alliance in recent years, from playing in Division Three in 2012 to the Premier Division for the first time last year.
The re-signing of overseas player Dan Constable will be a big boost for Cash and his side this season, with the Australian having impressed with both bat and ball in his debut campaign.
The 20-year-old topped the scoring charts at Garby in 2016 with 608 runs, and also took 28 wickets, a figure only bettered by Kieran Pask's 30-wicket haul.
"Dan came over last year with two years on his visa and settled in well towards the back end of the season," said Cash.
"He was bowling well, taking wickets and scoring runs too, so it was a no-brainer for us to tory to get back for this season."

Two weekends ago, with this boardtracker style custom bike, Kundratic Kustoms was proudly named the inaugural Sturgis Road Show Champion during the second leg of the Custom Chrome Chrome International Bike Show Series. With this win Brian Kundratic strengthens his position as a respected builder proving again that intensive labor, more than buying expensive catalog parts, is the only way to achieve greatness in a custom motorcycle. As simple as it may look, this bike required over 1200 hours of custom machining, stretching, rolling and welding to arrive at the result you see here…
Brian is the youngest of 5 boys who grew up around his older brothers heavily involved in cars and motorcycles. While working full-time at his fathers' cabinet shop, Brian started tinkering on his friends bikes in his spare time in the basement of his home, the same place his father started his cabinet business decades ago. After running out of room, he moved the workshop to an empty space next door to his dad's business. The shop was tucked away in the corner of an industrial park where there wasn't any street presence, so business was all word-of-mouth. As word got around & the business kept growing, Brian had no choice but to leave his father's shop for good and work full time on bikes. Far from being a beginner on the custom scene, Brian is in business since 1994 servicing, fabricating & building custom motorcycles and parts, offering in-house extensive fabricating & machine work, engine & tranny work, mig & tig welding.
Brian Kundratic started this project for his life-long friend Nick Klosteridis whose wish list was contained in a few words: a low and very simple Bobber with a Knuckle engine and a foot note stating "Nothing Crazy." Well, you know how things often go from there. Days passing by, conversations between builder and client/friend revolved around the good ol' time and times of early racing, and what was supposed to be a Bobber got some aging and turned into a bike with genes from the Boardtracking era.
Brian heavily modified a Kraftech rigid frame, installed a new 93″ Flathead Power Knuckle breathing deep through 2 velocity stacks bolted on a Dual S & S Super B carburetor, coupled it with a 5-speed Primo belt drive, a Springer front end (why not leaf spring forks?), modified a Fat Katz tank to be both gas and oil, used a West Eagle ribbed rear fender, welded perimeter rotors from Hank Young on a set of spoke wheels (both 21″ x 1.85″) dressed in Avon Vemom tires, fabled his own exhaust, bars and taillight, and ordered a solo seat at Victory custom Interiors. All finish being a mix of polished and brushed parts. looks very simple? Do it. Kundratic Kustom Motorcycles. (photography copyright H. Roesler for Cyril Huze)

Bott Family | Thanksgiving Point Family Photography
So you know how they always say it takes a village to raise a child…well the longer I am a mother the more I am realizing just how true that is. And this momma right here, is someone who has become incredibly valuable and irreplaceable to me and my family.
See, she is my little guy's reading tutor. Before her, he was a quiet, timid, uncertain little boy. He was so easily lost in a crowd, and therefore someone who was easy to ignore in a busy class. At the end of last year, my momma hurt was worried and nervous over what to do and how to help him. Then we found Rachel and everything changed. She opened up something inside of him that I didn't know how to. She gave him the time and the instruction that he so desperately needed, and she taught us to how to help him. And now, he is a different boy. A boy who raises his hand in class, who reads out loud to others, and a boy who is flourishing in school. I will never be able to fully explain to her how grateful I am for this gift that she gave our family and him.
I am so grateful for him and the huge blessing she has become for us. And I am so grateful that her family has become part of our little family over here. Her kids and husband are absolutely wonderful and I am so excited to show off their family session.

How I SUCCESSFULLY Integrated Social Media into Content Marketing
Social media plays an important role in supporting your content marketing plan.
Today, I'm sharing some of the things I've personally learned about implementing a social media plan as an intern for Shari's Ink.
Choosing the Right Platforms for Your Business
We can't stress enough that if you're just starting out and don't have the funds to hire a social media manager, you should start with a maximum of three platforms. Make the most of your social media plan by choosing the social sites that are best suited for your business.
- You can never go wrong with Facebook and Twitter; they're user-friendly and make it easy to promote your message.
- LinkedIn is good if you're trying to market yourself to other businesses.
- If your business is more visual or active, consider going with Instagram, Snapchat or Periscope.
If you need more help deciding on your three social platforms, see our breakdown of each one in our Social Media Series.
Managing Social Media
Just like a blog or any other part of your business, you need to plan to write and manage your social media posts.
- Use your editorial calendar to plan upcoming social posts.
- Post to your social sites two to five times per week.
- Write your posts a week in advance.
- Schedule your posts a couple of days in advance. You can use a scheduling tool like Hootsuite to make this process easier.
On average, you should look at investing about five hours per week into your social media plan.
Growing Your Following and Driving Traffic to Your Website
To get more followers and website traffic, try applying some of these pro tips to your social plan:
- Create and share engaging content. Engage your audience by asking questions, inviting them to interact with your brand and writing posts around shared values. You should also share links to your quality blog posts to increase clicks to your own website.
- Be relevant to your business goals. Your followers want to know what's in it for them. If you're not being clear about what your business does, they aren't going to care about your posts. Let people know how they can benefit from your services.
For more information on how to grow your following, see our "8 Tips for a Successful Social Media Plan."

This is the second review for Incoco Real Nail Polish Strips and this time I tried a design from their fall collection called Ikat Catwalk. This design is sold for $8.99. I tried a different application technique, because I wasn't too happy with the filing part of their suggested application. I don't have any acetone so I tried to remove the overlaying strip with nail polish remover that contains a bit of acetone. This didn't really work and it took me a long time to even try to remove it. After a few nails I gave up and used the file because it was much faster. Also I rushed the application a bit which lead to some wrinkles at the tip of my nails and I wasn't very happy with the end result. Again I didn't use a top coat because my first design lasted very long without applying any. My advice here is to take your time to apply the strips, even if it is supposed to be a fast technique. You will be way happier with the result and they will last longer if you take your time for each nail. One thing that I didn't like about these strips is the removal. You're supposed to remove these with nail polish remover since pulling them off would probably be bad for the nails. But removing them with nail polish remover was so annoying and it took me forever with both designs! Even if these are made out of real nail polish, there is still some glue involved and removing the glue was quite difficult. I used a lot of cotton pads and even after using water and soap there was some glue left. I guess you could just put up with that after a week of wearing a cool design, but I think I will stick with real nail polish in the future. ;)

ASLEF downplay Royal Wedding Day Tube Strike
Interesting to see a union saying that a threat of a Tube strike is "remote". This is after a number of mainstream media (including BBC, Evening Standard & Sky News) reported that ASLEF were considering a strike on the day of the Royal Wedding. Even the Mayor gave an angry Tweet saying "Can't believe this. Surely not!" about the news linking to a Press Association piece.
ASLEF's general secretary, Keith Norman, said today that industrial action on the London Underground had not even been discussed.
Steve Grant, their London Officer said no ballot had been held and the union and the management were due to resume negotiations about compensation for all Bank Holiday working by London Underground tube drivers.
'The story is premature to say the least,' added Keith Norman. Looks like the press got a little over excited about the Boxing Day strike action over pay on public holidays, and thought, this would apply to the next Bank Holiday likely to get extremely bad press if a strike took place.

In April, my daughter and I had a weekend in London and Manchester. She wanted to go to the Backstreet Boys concert in Manchester, and I wanted to visit the Harry Potter experience at Leavesden.
Well, we went together on both places. And of course, there were a bit of shopping!
Walking in the streets of London, the idea suddenly came to me. This was her space, and mine, and we had them together, so this trip ended as our space.
I decided to use photos I had taken at the concert and during the studio-tour. Transferred them to fabric, cut the in strips and bonded them to some fusible wadding. Unfortunately, the photo transfers were not so bright as I wanted, so I put a piece of blue organza on top to give it a bit more colour. I then finished this part with some stitching on top, running stitches and french knots.
The background fabric I had chosen, emphasizes the colours of the photos. For the quilting, I went for machine-embroidered lettering, inspired by Laura Kemshall. Because of the size, 15"x15", I could not use too bold letters, but I think I found a font that suits the size. And to give this background a bit more life, I put in some running stitches in some of the letters with the turquoise from the pictures.
Instead of bonding the photo-part to the background, I wanted it to have more depth, so I finished it with a blind fold and attached it loosely with stitches from the back.
