|Years Coached:
|12 years
|Last Season Coached:
|Jack Adams Award
|Dave Tippett was named the 17th head coach in Arizona Coyotes/Winnipeg Jets franchise history on September 24, 2009.
In his five seasons as the Coyotes head coach, Tippett guided the team to a 193-126-57 (443 points) record with three postseason appearances. He is the all-time winningest coach in franchise history. Tippett's .602 points percentage in 294 regular season games with Arizona ranked him as the highest points percentage of any head coach in franchise history.
In 2011-12, Tippett led the Coyotes to an impressive 42-27-13 record (97 points), and the franchise's first division title. Highly regarded as one of the best head coaches in the NHL, Tippett also led the club to its third-consecutive postseason appearance. Under his leadership, the Coyotes won their first postseason series - defeating the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference Quarterfinals - since arriving in the desert (1996). The Coyotes enjoyed a productive run in the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, reaching the Western Conference Final. During his tenure, the Coyotes have posted a record of 75-31-41 in one-goal games. He collected his 400th career head coaching victory at Edmonton on March 18, 2012.
|In 2010-11, Tippett led the Coyotes to a 43-26-13 record and 99 points in 2010-11. It marked the first time in franchise history that the Coyotes had recorded consecutive seasons with 40-plus wins and posted back-to-back 95-point plus seasons. In addition, the Coyotes reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second consecutive season, marking the first time the franchise qualified for the postseason in back-to-back years since the 1998-99/1999-2000 campaigns.
Hired just nine days prior to the start of the 2009-10 regular season, Tippett guided the Coyotes to a record of 50-25-7 for 107 points, shattering franchise records for wins and points in a single season while qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2002, finishing with the third-most points in the Western Conference. The successful season culminated in Tippett being honored with the Jack Adams Trophy as the NHL's Coach of the Year.
Under Tippett's leadership, the Coyotes allowed the fewest goals in the Western Conference in 2009-10 (202), ranked sixth in the NHL in penalty kill percentage (84.5%), set a new franchise record with a 10-game home winning streak from Nov. 21 to Dec. 29, and tied the franchise record with a nine-game winning streak from Mar. 4-21.
In ten seasons as an NHL Head Coach, Tippett has compiled a record of 427-252-107. His 427 victories behind the bench represent the second-most wins by an NHL coach over that span (Mike Babcock, 443), as well as the second-most wins by a coach through his first nine seasons in NHL history (Babcock, 419). Tippett has guided his teams to postseason berths in nine of his ten NHL seasons while also compiling four 100-point seasons, three 50-win seasons and five 40-win seasons.
Prior to joining the Coyotes, Tippett spent six seasons as head coach of the Dallas Stars, from 2002-03 to 2008-09, posting a record of 271-156-65. Under Tippett's leadership, the Stars won two Pacific Division titles (2002-03 and 2005-06), made the playoffs in five out of six seasons and advanced to the 2008 Western Conference Final. Tippett's 271 career regular season coaching victories rank second all-time in Stars history.
During Tippett's tenure in Dallas, the Stars finished in the top-10 in goal-scoring three times and finished no worse than sixth in the NHL in goals against in five of his six seasons, including ranking in the top three on three occasions (2006-07, 2003-04 and 2002-03) In 2002-03, his first season as an NHL Head Coach, Tippett led the Stars to the best record in the Western Conference and second-best record in the league while also guiding Dallas to its sixth Division title in seven seasons. With a record of 46- 17-15-4 for 111 points, Tippett posted what was then the fourth-highest point total by a rookie coach in NHL history.
Tippett joined the Stars organization on May 16, 2002 after serving as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Kings the previous three seasons. The Kings qualified for the playoffs in all three of Tippett's seasons with the club after having made the postseason just once in six seasons prior to Tippett's arrival.
Prior to becoming a coach, the native of Moosomin, Saskatchewan played 11 years as a forward in the National Hockey League with the Hartford Whalers, Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. In 721 career NHL games, he registered 93 goals and 169 assists for 262 points with 317 penalty minutes.
During his playing career with Hartford, Tippett served as an alternate captain and earned the Community Service, Unsung Hero, Mr. Hustle and Best Defensive Forward awards. In 1988-89, he registered career highs in goals (17), assists (24) and points (41). Internationally, he captained the 1984 Canadian Olympic Team in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia and earned a silver medal as a member of the Canadian Olympic Team in Albertville, France in 1992. While at the University of North Dakota, he was a member of the 1982 NCAA Division I Championship squad.
Tippett concluded his playing career in 1995 as a player-assistant coach with the Houston Aeros of the International Hockey League (IHL). He served as Houston's Head Coach from 1995-96 to 1998-99, building a reputation as a highly-regarded coach with a tremendous work ethic while leading the Aeros to two 50-win seasons. In 1999, Tippett led Houston to the Turner Cup Championship while being named the IHL Coach of the Year as well as leading the team to the Fred A. Huber Jr. Memorial Trophy by compiling the league's best regular season record (54-15-13). At the 1998 IHL All-Star Game, he was the co-coach of the victorious Western Conference squad.
Dave and his wife, Wendy, have two daughters: Nicole and Natalie.

San Francisco is famous for its burritos. Surprised? The Mexican burrito is a popular lunch or dinner item around the world, but this classic dish has been given a unique twist in San Francisco, called the Mission-style burrito. Make it your mission to try at least one during your visit to the City by the Bay.
The Mission-style burrito originated in the 1960s in San Francisco's Mission District. The neighbourhood was primarily home to Latinos and, consequently, dozens of taquerias, i.e. Mexican fast-food joints. The Mission-style burrito is a combination of beans, guacamole, sour cream, meat and vegetables; but what makes it so different from other burritos is its gigantic size, the addition of rice, and the fact that it's wrapped in aluminium foil, which is essential to keep all the ingredients from spilling out.
"The Taco Trail is a section of 24th Street between Mission and Potrero Hill filled with taquerias"

We have been talking about this for some time and now it's happening. We embrace the DIY Philosophy and we actually live it every day. It is how betahaus occurred: we wanted a special working-space but couldn't afford to buy it or it wasn't on the market yet. So we just did it ourselves.
In April 2010 we have opened up the ODC where people can try things out and create stuff . ODC-Citizens can show each other how tools work as in peer-to-peer education or we should rather call it amateur-to-amateur education. They say knowledge workers are in need of more hands-on activities, so why not build a new fancy lampshade or a better storage for fresh herbs?
On the 24th of July from 2pm-7pm you will find a great setting to let your creativity and inventiveness run wild @ OpenDesignCity Market in betahaus.
Albinoplast will join the ODC-Market. On the "Plastic Playground" they will provide you with enough stones to build everything from rabbits to bridges out of white plastic bricks. You can either buy the material and take your own creation home, set a price for your creation and sell it or buy an already built plastic bricks product at the Albinoplast stand.
We have built the first 'Hanging Gardens' on the 9.th of July at the Betahaus Hamburg opening event. Bring some empty Volvic water bottles along and Lisa and Ana will show you how you can decorate your kitchen with the new herbs recipients.
They can be hanging right next to your starch plastic lampshade - which you can learn to make from your favourite vintage pullover in a workshop with Christopher Doering and Jay Cousins.
Original Brazilian Caipirinha made by Zena, funky disco beats made by our Italian guest DJ and the hot summer weather are just 3 reasons why you should spend the next Saturday afternoon at betahaus.
As the WMP! is on summer vacation fashion & design sellers are welcome to sell their clothes and products. Contact: email@example.com

2008 Nissan Titan
The Nissan Titan gets two noteworthy additions and a host of detail improvements for 2008, delivering more of the truck capability while taking off just enough of the tough-guy truck image to appeal to a broader range of drivers and occupants.
New long-bed models have been added, and are longer than most competitors, along with more bed space, payload, and fuel capacity.
Inside, the 2008 Nissan Titan sports a thoroughly redesigned interior that is at once more attractive and user-friendly. There's plenty of room for a growing family of five or four big sportsmen off for weekend recreation. Titans range from utilitarian models with crank windows to leather-lined cabs befitting a luxurious sport-utility.
Titan's proven and powerful V8 and automatic is the only choice, and it's a stout engine raced at more than twice its street-legal 317 horsepower. Nothing like this gets good gas mileage and if you have no plans to haul stuff around or tow anything, the Titan will be overkill and you should check out a van, or maybe a Pathfinder for those Nissan faithful in need of four-wheel drive. When you do haul and tow, you'll find the features added for such activities very useful and that it's surprisingly capable for a half-ton pickup.
In part because of the engine, the Titan leans to the sporty and heavy-user ends of the pickup truck spectrum. Obviously it can be used on a daily basis and perhaps on an overcast day it might just blend in, but the Titan is more outgoing than that and would prefer a home with an adventurous family, busy independent contractor or landscaper, hard-core four wheeler towing a buggy, or on the job site tending to fickle foremen and agitated architects: At least on the weekdays.
If you need a full-size pickup with power to perform and plenty of room, the Nissan Titan should be on your shopping list.
Model Lineup
The 2008 Nissan Titan line has been expanded to include the new long-wheelbase model. More than 25 variants are available. Choose from two cabs (King, Crew), two wheelbases (short or long bed), two- and four-wheel drive, and four trim levels (XE, SE, Pro-4X, LE) in virtually any combination with these exceptions: Pro-4X models are 4WD only, and the King Cab Pro-4X is short wheelbase only. Four-wheel drive adds about $3000; a long wheelbase adds about $400, and figure $2500-$3000 to move up from King Cab to Crew Cab.
The base XE model is focused on function and includes cloth seating for six, active front head restraints, full instrumentation, cruise control, and on Crew Cabs, power windows and door locks.
Popular SE models add alloy wheels, upholstery upgrades, a CD changer, heated power mirrors, and conveniences such as remote keyless entry and illuminated visor mirrors. The next slot, sort of a 4WD only SE derivative, is the Pro-4X model with larger, more aggressive tires, off-road suspension tuning, two-tone cloth upholstery, and double sun visors.
Luxury characterizes the LE model, which runs 20-inch wheels, fog lamps, leather power seats, a 350-watt Rockford Fosgate sound system, dual-zone climate control, power adjustable pedals, and chrome power folding heated mirrors.
All except the XE offer a front side/side curtain/roll-sensing stability control option package. SE and Pro-4X have the widest choices, from spray-in bedliner to seat choices, while navigation is reserved for Pro-4X and LE trucks. On Crew Cab SE-or-better only, a moonroof and DVD entertainment are among the options.
The 2008 Nissan Titan's most notable change is the new long-wheelbase variant that provides a bed length of almost 8 feet, 3 inches on King Cabs and 7 feet, 3 inches on Crew Cabs, the biggest box on a half-ton crew cab pickup; those models also have the largest fuel tank at 37 gallons. Subtle changes to the grille, lamps, bumpers and wheels have softened the edges a bit but Titan's in-your-face attitude is still prevalent.
The high level of function remains too, and maximum payload has been lifted above 2,000 pounds on certain versions. A tow package (up to 9500 pounds) that includes extendable dual-element mirrors and transmission temperature gauge ranks among the best in half-ton pickups, the locking tailgate is damped and assisted for easy open and close, and available features like the cargo track retention system (bed sides and floor) and storage box in the rear fender ideal for wet tow straps or chains are unmatched in class.
Interior Features
The 2008 Nissan Titan cabin will still serve well for truck duty, but it is now more refined and has less edginess, eliminating one of the few gripes regarding the original Titan.
Dash and door panels are easy-to-wipe-off plastic yet no longer give the impression of cost-cutting in materials, and the new instrument layout provides all the same, complete information but has a more coherent sophisticated look to it. On Pro-4X models the gauges are white-faced, and LE models have enough wood-like acreage to fit in a luxury utility.
Titans can be equipped with a six-person bench seat interior or with captain's chairs in front for a five-seat capacity.
Our Pro-4X had the buckets with heat, power adjustments, and two-position driver memory system to complement the adjustable pedals. The only nuisance in fit is the tilt-and-telescoping steering column adjustment that is spring-loaded and requires you to tilt-and-telescope the wheel with one hand while the other holds the release. You sit high and comfortable, not squeezed but not loosely floating about and visibility is excellent to all corners (and well-behind with the tow mirrors) although some shorter drivers may not like the large base on the windshield pillar. An optional rear-view camera is available and we found it eased trailer hitching.
A new center dash section for 2008 handles audio, climate, navigation, and switching duty (tow mode, VDC off, diff lock, etc.) with a slightly more integrated look. It looks better than last year's setup and more easily handles extras like the dual-zone climate control on LE models. All controls are logical and sensibly arranged, although traditional pickup truck buyers who go for six seats will have to adapt to wipers and shifter on the same side of the wheel. With deep bins in the center console and smaller ones along the sides, big door and seatback pockets, and generous cup holders, you'll find a place to put virtually anything.
Entry and exit is simple, aided by running boards if you value deportment above ground clearance. Rear doors on King Cabs swing almost 170 degrees for easy access and there's room back there for six-footers on short-to-moderate length trips. Crew Cab rear seats are downright spacious and eclipsed only by the Dodge Ram Mega Cab and Toyota Tundra CrewMax, neither of which offers near the bed capacity of a long-bed Titan. Titan Crew Cabs offer an optional moonroof and DVD rear-seat entertainment system.
You won't see any of the noise-reduction materials inside (unless you're under the dash installing a brake controller with the tow-package pigtail) but if you've ever been in a Titan you will notice the 2008 is much quieter and smoother.
Driving Impressions
The Nissan Titan was widely recognized for its stout drivetrain, and it's been slightly uprated for 2008. It comes standard with the big V8 and a five-speed automatic transmission. Although it doesn't have as much horsepower as GM's larger V8 choices or Dodge's Hemi, it matches or betters most on torque and a Titan will outrun most pickups and deliver competitive mileage to similar configurations; only the Tundra's 5.7-liter/six-speed automatic combination really betters it. The exhaust has been retuned to keep the V8 rumble so adored by truck buyers while eliminating the drone that could wear on long highway trips.
On paper, the fuel economy has dropped for 2008, but in reality it's the same as before; the EPA has changed its test procedures, which yields results much closer to the fuel economy most drivers will obtain.
A proper gated floor shift allows direct access to any gear without pressing any buttons, and the transmission responds smoothly and crisply as conditions dictate; a comfortable grip and good location adjacent the driver's leg encourages one to use it. Four-wheel drive and low-range are electrically shifted by a rotary dash knob. The electric locking rear differential (Pro-4X only) is more effective in severe terrain than the all-wheel electronic traction control of regular 4×4 Titans and most competitors. There is no automatic 4WD setting for on-road use, but if the electronic traction aids aren't enough perhaps you should be in 4WD high-range. The rear axle has also been strengthened considerably to accommodate the towing and new load ratings.
Pickup trucks aren't held in high regard for ride comfort or handling prowess yet they have made strides in both. The longer wheelbase only betters cruising comfort but even the short-wheelbase Titans will generate no complaints, at least not from anyone that knows what a ton of payload means. Off-road biased suspension tuning with lots of travel, shocks built specifically for it, and large tires on the Pro-4X contribute to ride softness without giving up control, while the 20-inch wheel/tire combo on LE models offers crisper turn-in but transmits bumps more.
The 2008 Titan also receives more powerful front brakes with larger rotors and all the plumbing changes that go with them: In spec-speak they are not quite as large in diameter as a Tundra's but they have greater swept area, a better indicator of braking capacity. The Titan has always performed well in pickup brake tests, and these offer a larger margin of safety and durability, needed because the previous brakes didn't hold up well.
The 2008 Nissan Titan adds long bed models to the mix and more refinement, but continues the stuff we liked about the previous version. Titan boasts a robust powertrain with responsive acceleration. For 2008, it gets improved braking and a redesigned, higher-quality interior.

Efforts help make communities strong
It is always good when our younger residents make an effort to contribute to their community, especially when that effort has the potential to assist many of those living here.
That's exactly what students from two local high schools did recently in observance of Make A Difference Day, a national movement where people everywhere are encouraged to take part in projects aimed to improve their communities.
We often hear of students taking part in school projects to make a difference in their community, and it's good to see those happen. In this instance, however, we especially should take note as it involved students from two of our high schools joining forces. Members of the Interact clubs from Weirton Madonna and Weir high schools came together in the spirit of their clubs and Make A Difference Day to collect food and clothing items to assist those in need in our area.
Dubbed "Soup, Socks & Smiles," the students spent much of their Saturday going door to door and collecting nonperishable food. Collections also were held at their respective football games Friday and Saturday.
Anyone stopping by the Weirton Event Center on Saturday could plainly see the result, with several picnic tables covered in boxes of donated food.
We applaud these students for their impressive efforts, which locally will benefit the Salvation Army and the Community Bread Basket.
These two organizations work tirelessly to assist those in our community who otherwise might not be able to have food or other essentials for themselves or their families.
In addition to the students' door-to-door collection, several local businesses – including Kmart, Wal-Mart, Kroger, Mainstream Physical Therapy and Tudor's Biscuit World – held collections of clothing and food to put toward the effort.
Everyone involved should be commended for such an amazing effort, and we hope this serves as inspiration for others looking to give back to their community and help others.

Tuesday, February 3, 2009
She was delighted.
And instead of going around taking pictures of her Christmas gifts or of her family, she promptly went about taking pictures of everything on our walls. A wrought iron piece of decor, each picture lining our stairway, the picture of Jesus in our entry way, the picture of Grace making a funny face in our living room...you name it, those things on the walls were the first thing on her photography agenda.
Since that day I've been extra sensitive as to what's on our walls. If my daughter thought they were important enough to be her first items of business with her new camera, they obviously meant something to her.
I think we underestimate the influence of what we put on our walls. My kids notice the second I change something. So I better make what I change it to stuff that counts.
So I'm going to post a little tour of what's on our walls right now so I can remember it:This is a little kit for a family tree my friend gave me for Christmas a couple years ago. I LOVE it. It took a little while to get all those names on there, but I really enjoyed thinking about all those people that have influenced Dave and my lives in so many ways, and I love that our kids can see that on a regular basis as they walk out the door each day. I want them to know their roots (or "branches" in this case).
This is a favorite quote from President Hinckley another friend gave us for Christmas a few years ago. I want my kids to know how much Dave and I love and respect the prophet. (We need to get updated with President Monson at some point...)
This one doesn't really need explanation...I should be super duper rich by now...
My brother gave me this collage of pictures he took in Jerusalem for Christmas last year. I'm so thankful to finally have something up on the walls to help me remember those six months I spent there on study abroad that meant so much to me and helped me decide I wanted to serve a mission.
And of course, what kid wouldn't feel a little more loved having pictures of themselves plastered on the walls?
This is our "relatives" wall so we can be reminded of all the cousins and grandparents we don't get to see on a regular basis.
And this is our map by our kitchen table. I had a guy come build a frame around this map so we could have it right there by where we eat...which often helps us talk about different things going on in the world over dinner (that is, when there isn't a food fight or crying going on about how the kids don't like what I made for dinner...or Lucy throwing a fit under the table). Dave and I want so much for our kids to be aware of the world and to instill in them a love of traveling and exploring it like we have. (We put red dots on all the places at least one of us has been to.)
I made this banner to hang over our front door because of a really neat experience my Dad had with those words. I love the thought of "loving more" (I love that it connotes action) and I hope we can really do just that in our family...love everyone around us and each other with our whole hearts.
And finally, after a ton of deliberation trying to figure out which picture to use, we settled on this one to have enlarged on canvas. This is where Dave and I got married and I hope my kids can know (from seeing it on the wall each day among many other things), how sacred and amazing we feel that our marriage, as well as that holy place is. (Yes, some day I'll actually finish this room, but for now our new temple picture is doing the trick...at least for me.)Oh and I can't forget the collage I made for Dave for his birthday last year of pictures from our big trip to Beijing for the Olympics...we don't want to be forgetting that any time soon!
Anyway, every once in a while I take my kids around and give them a "tour" of our walls so they can know how much these things mean to me and why we have them up in our house.
Now we just need to figure out a family picture to enlarge...oh, and a place to display ancestor pictures...
Not enough walls.

I LOVE the walls in your home. I too love maps and family trees.ReplyDelete
We are in the same family picture dilemma! You just took too many good ones!!!
Isn't it interesting what kids find important? I remember times when I was growing up and my dad would borrow a video camera to record a recital or something, and we have many minutes of us videotaping our bedrooms. What is up with that?? Your house is beautiful and memory-building for your kiddies! I love it :)ReplyDelete
shawni your home is really beautiful. you've done an excellent job of decorating the walls with love and memories. i love that one of the salt lake temple. where do you get the canvas prints made?ReplyDelete
Oh my, just LOVE all the fabulous pictures. I especially love the temple picture- probably because I am trying to find one I love to put on canvas too. BTW- who did you go through for the canvas? Darling home. Can't wait to get settled and feel like I can start decorating my home.ReplyDelete
i have the whining sign in my kitchen...i should also be a rich woman. and as far as the sweetness above your front door...mine says, "how can i miss you if you won't go away?" our children will be secure for reasons very different than yours. haha!ReplyDelete
*sigh*... your walls are so lucky.ReplyDelete
can you come out to Utah and fix MY walls???
love it all.
Your home is so lovely. I think the walls of our home are such a reflection of you and I wish my home was even more a reflection of me!ReplyDelete
(I think I have those same heart ornaments hanging on my chandelier in my eating area!)
Great post Shawni! Once again, I'm inspired by your vision, thoughtfulness, and ability to make things beautiful.ReplyDelete
Wow! Your home is just gorgeous. If you ever feel like lending your interior decorating talents I'll be the first in line. :)ReplyDelete
Where did you find that picture of the SCL temple??? I love it and MUST have it!!!! :)ReplyDelete
BTW - I'll bring you my baby anytime, but beware, he's a total barfer. Ask Rebecca how bad it is. You'll change your mind real quick!!
wow. This is the second time i have come out of lurkdom. I love the walls post mainly because I heard a talk given during education week where the speaker said that the things that we will find on our childrens walls will be the things they will place the most priority on. This has made me more conscious of what I let them hang up.ReplyDelete
And second, could you maybe leave me a post or email me at email@example.com and let me know where you got your map. I noticed it ages ago on your blog in the background and never had the courage to ask. My in laws gave us one for christmas and is kinda tacky looking. Don't really want to hang it up. Thanks.
Shawni -- I went to blurb this AM after your post... and I found some VERY happy news! :)ReplyDelete
Looks like they just started doing blogger again.
I am REALLY happy because I wanted to do it before the baby's born. Looks like I'll be getting a lot of sitting at the computer time.
You can email me at hilaryanddrew at gmail.com if you have any questions. btw, this entry looks delish, but I'm trying to get kids to school. :)
I am dropping by because I saw your comment on Hilary's blog...I don't know if you remember me, but I am married to Joel Neves and I also served in Romania. When we lived down in AZ we did that little reunion a few years ago. Anyway...your home is beautiful and so is your blog! I will have to come visit more often!ReplyDelete
What? No pictures of Romania? I love your pictures and especially the updates of your darling family. Take care!ReplyDelete
I love how you can get a sense of who you are by what things are on your wall. Your love for your family and for the gospel is immense and I love that! I too LOVE that Temple picture. Did you take it? I also LOVE how you decorated your dining room for valentines day - so festive!ReplyDelete
such a wonderful idea - i have that same "no whining" sign...when exactly do we cash in on that? :DReplyDelete
How fun to get a view of your walls. You do such a super job with displays. I heard a talk years ago that there was a family whose children all went into the navy rather than missions because they had pictures of ships around their house. There was another one of a girl on her mission that loved a certain picture of Christ because it reminded her of the one they had in her home growing up. You are correct in putting meaningful items up on your wall as they do affect our children's lives more than we think. I like your "stop whining" one. I need to find that for our home. Thanks for sharing. You're such a great gal! You keep me inspired.ReplyDelete
I made a point years ago to only have things hanging on my walls that have meaning to our family......just because they go with the decor doesn't count :)ReplyDelete
It was great to see yours. Please answer the map question for us all. I have a more "kid happy" (meaning overly bright) version in the toy room, but love the idea of it in a family gathering spot.
The guys doing the new bloggit book printing are only saying they'll have it ready sometime in Feb. They don't want their wives to get mad if it isn't finished by the date they set :)
I was glad to hear that Blurb is up and running again because I printed my 2007 year with them. It took an insane amount of time to pick a format for each page. But I am VERY happy with the outcome. I love the picture on the hardcover and I made sure to do my spine black with white writing of the year so that they will all match in the future. This is rambling, but my point is. Blurb takes more time than it should, but the result and the cost are great. Plus I had it within a week.
The guys planning the new site claim they will be easier, equal in quality and even less expensive. I guess time will tell.
I love all of those pictures but the collages are especially fun! How sweet that your brother made that memento of Jerusalem for you that brings back that tender memory. The one of China that you made is just FUN!ReplyDelete
FYI for those who have asked...the map is a National Geographic map. I got it here at a map store, but I saw one when I was up in Utah at a teaching supply store, and I've also seen them on the internet. Just google national geographic maps. It may look kinda cheesy on line or even in the store but when you get a nice frame around it I think it looks great. Mine is laminated so the kids can touch it and put stickers on it and it can hold up great.ReplyDelete
On the temple picture, I did take that. It was one of three I was trying to decide on. If anyone is interested I can order one for them as well. I love how it turned out if I do say so myself!
Shawni...I'm not sure if I came out of the blog lurking closet yet or not. But hello! And I LOVE your blog.ReplyDelete
So I am in LOVE with that family tree. I wondered if you know where your friend got it. I've been looking and looking for one like that. You can email me at gregnmeg at gmail.com or leave a post on my blog http://margaret-hansen.blogspot.com/ Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the inspiration! I would love to do the a montage of the trip that hubby and I did for our anniversary...what a great idea! I would looove to do something similar to your stairwell.ReplyDelete

Do you think you could explain the story behind "love more"? :)ReplyDelete

Great post! Where do you make you photo collages (like the beijing olypmics one)?? I love them!ReplyDelete
I love your map idea! I was wondering who you had come and frame it for you? I am in your same area of town and would love to have something like that on my walls. If you could email me his info that would be great! email@example.com Thanks for all your awesome ideas!ReplyDelete
I am in the process of turning a map into wall art and love the little stickers you used. Can you tell me where I might find some (or where you got yours)?ReplyDelete
Shawni- I love your temple canvas. Could I order one from you for my home? It is gorgeous. Your blog is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing. email@example.com
I love the family tree picture!! Is there a way I could get the pattern. I would live to start on these for Christmas presents next year for my parents. firstname.lastname@example.com is my email address. Love your blog! Just came across it.ReplyDelete
Thanks Susie Hansen
I'm dying to know how.your friend made.the family tree. It's adorable and i'd love to make them for my family.ReplyDelete
Great stuff! Just thought I'd let you know that as of today (3/14/11), deseretbook.com still carries this family tree kit. Yours looks so nice that I think I'm going to buy a bunch and give them as Christmas gifts. Thanks for some great ideas!ReplyDelete
It looks like several people have already asked you but did you find out where your friend got the family tree. I would love to make one. Love your blog and your book! My email is email@example.com
Ashley Allen
I know I'm kind of on the tail end of things, but I would be so grateful to order a temple print from you! I can be reached at email@example.com
Thank you sooo much!!
We're moving into our new house on Monday and I remembered reading this post so long ago. I love many of the ideas on your walls, thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
If you still have that SLC temple photo you chose to enlarge, I'd love to order one for our new home. Please let me know how much it will be.
Thanks so much!
Where did you find your map picture at?ReplyDelete
I love all your pictures. I never thought of what I put on my walls but now being a new mother I will. The temple picture is beautiful.ReplyDelete

**Family Trees**ReplyDelete
For anyone who is wondering my friend Sister Canizales made the family tree kit that shawni has.
If you would like to buy one go to this website
you'll have to scroll down, but it is called the DIY Jared kit.
Hope that helps :)
I have noticed your family motto on the wall in your family room. Do you have any tips on how I might get oursReplyDelete
put on canvas? Wouldn't it be a great
Christmas gift for the family?
Any ideas would be so helpful!
Shawni, ever since I glimpsed your world map I have yearned for one!! Oh I just want these little people to know about other cultures and happenings. The day has come... we just ordered it! For anyone interested... you can get this National Geographic map 30 x 43 for $17 plus shipping, and a laminated one for $25. There's also more antique color versions on amazon. I'm hoping to save money and just make a frame ourselves. Our toy containers may still be diaper boxes, but at least we have a map :) Here's the link - http://www.swiftmaps.com/servlet/the-1/National-Geographic-World-Executive/DetailReplyDelete
Thank you Shawni!!
This is coming long after your original post but I would love to order your temple print as well. It is beautiful and so simple. ThanksReplyDelete
email: email@example.com
In our new home I really want to do a staircase gallery. Any tips/suggestions on how to get it to look as perfect as yours does?ReplyDelete
I too am coming in on this 3+ years later... But, would you still be interested in taking orders for your temple picture? Love it & am hoping to have it hang in our entry.ReplyDelete
Thanks! 505rebekah {at} gmail.com
Just wondered if you're taking orders for your temple picture?? I am in LOVE and can't stop looking at it! Can you please email me details if you are? Thanks! breanncampbell{at}gmailReplyDelete
We do this too, but we're just expecting our first child so I'm sure we'll get more and more personalized wall art.ReplyDelete
I don't even remember the original thing that led me to your blog but I have stayed and read page after page! We have a National Geographic map in our living room that is HUGE (6' by 9') and framed it with trim pieces from home depot. We love it because whenever we have people over and the conversation turns to something international all heads turn to the map.
I also LOVE India (our international themed living room has throws and pillows from our most recent trip) and have been there three separate times and can't wait to go back!
I just love this idea and they way you have decorated your family's home. Such a beautiful way to display your love. My husband and I also decorate our walls with our own photography and friends' artwork...our "rule" is to keep our walls meaningful.ReplyDelete
I used this post of yours as inspiration for my own latest blog post (it's about what's on the walls at the middle school I work at). I've credited your work by linking this post of yours to mine. Thanks for the inspiration!
I found you through Kristen Duke so I realize this is a really old post but thank you for sharing your walls. I have the same problem where we just don't have enough. Our house is really small but I have so many pictures I want to put up; I've always thought collages were kind of cheesy but you did them in ways that makes them look sophisticated and grown up rather than something I had in my bedroom in high school.ReplyDelete

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – UCSB softball suffered a pair of tough losses on Friday, the opening day of the Campbell/Cartier Classic. The Gauchos (1-7) fell, 7-1, to Boise State (5-1) before being shutout by Oregon State, 6-0, in the following game at the USD Softball Complex.
In the first inning of game one, the Broncos were able to load the bases with two outs before Kelly Sweeney drew a walk to send Christina Capobianco home for an unearned run. They loaded the bases again at the top of the second, setting the table for Capobianco, who hit a grand slam to give Boise State an early 5-0 lead.
At the top of the fourth, Tara Glover drove in Kellie Caplan with a one-out double to center field and then came home on the same play following the third Gaucho error of the game.
In the fifth inning, the Gauchos were able to get on the scoreboard. Lauren Boser led off with a single to right center field and McKenzie Kane followed with a base hit of her own. Brooke Putich then grounded out to the shortstop, allowing both base runners to advance. One out later, Kathryn Pilpil hit a single through the right side, sending Boser home. The run would be the first and only during the day for the Gauchos, as they fell, 7-1.
UCSB out-hit the Broncos in the loss, 8-7, but left seven of its runners stranded and committed four errors on defense.
In the circle, Shelby Wisdom (1-3) suffered the loss after tossing the complete game. She allowed seven runs – five earned – on seven hits while walking three and striking out five. At the plate, Kane led the team, going 2-for-3.
Oregon State was also able to jump on the Gauchos early, scoring a run at the top of the first off of a two-out single to right field by Lea Cavestany.
In the third, the Beavers tacked on two more runs following a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly from Paige Hall. With two outs and two runners on during the next inning, a Gaucho error allowed Hannah Bosuka to reach first and Madison Bundy to score. A single from Elizabeth Santana sent home two more unearned Beaver runs on the following play to push the lead to 6-0.
Oregon State pitchers Marina Demore (2-1) and Aryn Feickert combined for the shutout and limited UCSB to five hits. DeJanee Moore led the Gaucho offensive effort, going 2-for-3 with a stolen base.
Andriana Collins (0-4) pitched the entire game and allowed six runs – three earned – on nine hits. She walked a pair and struck out three.
UCSB will continue action at the Campbell/Cartier Classic on Saturday when it faces No. 9/7 Washington at 11:30 am and Notre Dame at 6 pm. The latter game will be played at San Diego State.
The Gauchos will open at home on Feb. 23. Season tickets are available and the package includes All-Session passes for both the Gaucho Classic I (Feb. 23-26) and the Gaucho Classic II (March 16-18), in addition to tickets to 11 more exciting home contests.
Season tickets can be purchased for $60 – for a cost of just $2.61 per game – and with their purchase, fans will receive a $25 gift certificate to the Gauchos Shop.

I am a food shopaholic…the fact that I can actually make our travel plans depending on whether or not we can buy good food ingredients from a particular place, just proves it beyond a shred of doubt! And you know what…I am proud to be one (mostly ;) )
Stone fruits are in season…peaches, plum, and cherries are plentiful. Given my addiction of food shopping last weekend I bought a whole lot of peaches (way more than two people can humanly consume J ). We enjoyed eating a lot of them and still had enough left…thus I came upon the 'consume peaches in various forms' mission. Some of the peaches that I bought were still a little unripe, the best way to eat these is to poach them and that's exactly what I did. In fact I experimented with the flavour combination of peaches, vanilla & Rose! Nothing that could possibly go wrong with these anyway J I used the lovely dried roses that I had bought from my last trip to Shenzhen. The peaches beautifully absorbed the rose aroma and flavour, with the vanilla bean adding a rich muskiness to it without overpowering its sweetish, slightly tart floral taste J
These can be eaten as is with the sweet aromatic syrup or top them on a bowl of yogurt or crème fraiche along with a spoon of the gorgeous syrup. It would serve as a perfect light desert.
A few slices of peaches along with yogurt can be topped with granola for a quick and healthy breakfast option. R was particularly hooked on to this one; he ate this twice a day for at least a week J
I still had half a jar of these rose poached peaches, they just seemed perfect to be topped on a Tart. So I made a Mascarpone & White Chocolate Tart with an easy to assemble, no fuss Oreo Crust & topped it with these peaches. This one was, my favourite way of eating the peaches. The sweet mascarpone & white chocolate filling was beautifully contrasted with the tart flavour of Peaches with the hint of aromatic rose & vanilla, needless to say, the Oreo crust was the perfect accompaniment as a crust.
Rose & Vanilla Poached Peaches
10 Peaches halved & stoned
700ml Water
5tbs Sugar
½ a Vanilla Bean (split lengthwise & seeds scrapped)
6-7 dried Rose Buds (the dried rose buds have a more concentrated flavor)
1. Combine the sugar, water, vanilla seeds, bean & Rose buds together in a broad based pan/pot and simmer it over low heat till the sugar dissolves.
2. Gently place the peaches in the pan in a single layer, making sure all the pieces are submerged.
3. Let it simmer on a medium flame for about 3-4 mins.
4. Once done, remove the peaches from the pan. The skin would have separated from the fruit. Peel it and keep the peaches in a single layer on a plate.
5. Let the remaining liquid simmer on a medium flame for another 8-10 mins till it gains a syrupy consistency.
6. Remove the rose buds & vanilla pod from the syrup with a slotted spoon and let it cool down.
7. Once both peaches and the syrup have cooled down, transfer them into a sterilized glass jar. You can store it in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
White Chocolate Mascarpone Tart with Oreo Crust
Yield: Three 4 inch Tarts
For the Crust
2 small packets of Oreo Cookies
1 ½ tbsp Butter (melted)
For the filling
½ cup White Chocolate Chips
200gms Mascarpone Cheese
½ cup Fresh Cream/Full Cream (I used Amul fresh cream as that is the only option)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
For the Topping
4 sliced Peaches (Poached of Fresh- I have used the poached peaches)
Dried Rose Bud
For the Crust
1. Crush the Oreo cookies to a fine grainy texture in a food processor/blender.
2. In a large bowl stir together the cookie crumbs & the melted butter until combined and the crumbs are evenly moistened.
3. Press the crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom and the sides up. Preferably use tart tins with removable base, this will ensure easy un-moulding. Refrigerate the crust for at least an hour.
For the Filling
1. To make the filling, melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
2. Remove bowl from the pan and set it aside, let it cool down.
3. In a separate bowl beat the mascarpone cheese (cheese should be at room temperature) and lightly whip the cream in another bowl. Fold the cream into the cheese, stir till combined. Then gradually add the molten white chocolate and vanilla and combine the mixture.
1. Once chilled remove the tart shells from the refrigerator and pour/spoon the mascarpone cheese mixture into the shells. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
2. Let it chill in the refrigerator for another half an hour.
3. To serve, top it with sliced peaches garnished with a dried rose.
4. Unmould the tart just before serving

I was asked earlier to view and record a presentation being given on LiveStream.com. I figured this can't be to hard I will just use a FireFox plugin and pull the video somehow but I couldn't find an easy way to do it with a FireFox plugin. I finally settled on using some freeware classified as screen video capture software. This software allows you to zoom in on a specified size of the screen and capture sound, video, or both and save to an AVI file.

Curbside recycling service is provided to single-family homes in the Urban Services District of Nashville that receive weekly trash cart collection from Metro Public Works. Recycling is collected once a month and residents must place recyclables in their green roll-out cart. Recyclables are not to be bagged but placed in the cart loosely. For more details on the residential recycling collection program, please read through the frequently asked questions below or call 615-862-5000.
Plastic bags are the number 1 contaminant in Nashville's curbside recycling. No bags should be placed in curbside recycling or drop-off containers. Bags of recyclables end up in the landfill!
Residents may be issued 1 green department approved container for recycling. Additional carts may be requested at no cost.
Public Works provides a reminder service that makes it easy to remember your pick-up day. If you'd like to receive a reminder message via e-mail each month, you can sign up to get reminders online.
To find out more, choose one of the following topics:
Metro customers whose collection day falls on a holiday (New Years, July 4th, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas) will have trash and recycling pickup the Saturday of that week.
Contact Us or call 615-862-5000.
If you live in a single-family home in Nashville's Urban Services District, your household is eligible to participate in the household recycling program. A good indicator of whether you live in the Urban Services District is your garbage service; if you don't pay a separate bill for garbage pick-up, then you probably live within this area. To find out if you live in the Urban Services District, call 615-862-5000.
Because monthly collection is more cost-effective than weekly pick-ups, your recyclables will be picked up monthly. Recycling pick-up day.
Collection of recyclables will occur from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. on your collection day. Weather, traffic, and the volume of material collected may cause the actual collection time to vary.
Recycling is not collected on New Year's Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day. Any collection day that falls on one of these holidays will be picked up on Saturday of that week.
You should place your cart in the same place you currently put your trash (curb, alley, etc.). It should be at least three feet from any stationary object such as a car, mailbox, utility pole, etc.
The 96-gallon recycling carts are large enough to allow the average household sufficient container space for one month's worth of recyclable material. If you have more material than will fit into your cart, please take those items to a recycling drop-off or convenience center. You can also order a second cart for free by calling 615-862-5000.
ALL PAPER and BOXES : office paper, magazines, junk mail, newspaper, computer paper, notebook paper, phone books, paperback books, construction paper, brown paper bags, milk or juice cartons (including gable top and aseptic containers), cardboard boxes, food boxes (clean - no food). All boxes should be broken down.
ALL PLASTIC BOTTLES and CONTAINERS: drink bottles and their caps, detergent and cleaner bottles and their caps, yogurt/cottage cheese and other dairy "tubs" and their lids (please empty containers) and plastic trays, such as the lunchable type containers.
ALL METAL and ALUMINUM CANS: empty food and drink cans, empty aerosol cans, foils and trays.
You can put all items in the cart together - no separation is required.
You can put all accepted items in your cart together - you do not have to separate any materials. Please rinse cans before putting them in your cart, as some materials may sit in your cart for a month. To maximize the use of your cart, you may want to break down all cardboard boxes, but you do not have to remove any staples from paper or plastic windows from envelopes.
Materials not accepted in carts are glass, and soiled food containers such as pizza boxes, plastic toys, plastic bags (check out what types of plastic bags are recyclable and where you can drop-off plastic bags for recycling) and Styrofoam.
Household Recycling is designed to eliminate materials that make up the largest percentage of waste. Since glass makes up a smaller portion of the waste stream than paper, plastic and metals, it is not accepted as part of the household program.
Glass bottles can be recycled at one of the recycling drop-off or convenience centers operated by the Public Works Department. You can also contract separately for curbside glass collection.
If you have problems with your service, or questions about the program or recycling in general, call 615-862-5000 or contact us. You can also talk to one of our friendly attendants at the Metro Convenience Centers.

On the Raiders unofficial depth chart in this week's press release, the starting fullback is Oren O'Neal and the backup is Luke Lawton.
There's about as much a chance of that being the case as JaMarcus Russell making it through Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles untouched.
In training camp, the only problem with the fullback position was that it was too crowded, Lorenzo Neal, a veteran lead blocker for 1,000-yard runners for the better part of 15 years, came aboard as a free agent.
Oren O'Neal was making a surprising recovery from reconstructive knee surgery and Luke Lawton had played more at the position the previous year than any other Raiders fullback.
As for Gary Russell, he showed up during minicamp as a short-yardage and goal line runner who was cut not long after he scored the first touchdown in the Super Bowl for the victorious Pittsburgh Steelers. Part of the appeal, coach Tom Cable said at the time, was that Russell could play either running back or fullback.
Except Russell barely played any fullback at all. He was, in fact, the Raiders leading rusher during the preseason with 155 yards on 28 carries and three touchowns, but never had a realisitc chance at breaking in to the top three spots occupied by Darren McFadden, Michael Bush and Justin Fargas.
In the meantime, Neal partially tore a hamstring and now apparently has retired, and O'Neal was waived/injured and will probably wind up in the Raiders injured reserve unless he reaches an injury settlement.
Returning to the Raiders last week, Russell finds himself as a relatively undersized 5-foot-11, 215-pound starting fullback against the most blitz-happy team in the NFL.
The mindset of his role in Pittsburgh and his new job in Oakland doesn't change much.
`I was a short-yardage and goal line running back. Pretty much the same thing," Russell said Friday. " attitude is to come in there and run you over."
His theory on blocking?
"Get on them before they see you," Russell said. "Once they see you, they're coming downhill on you and it makes it more difficult."
Russell doesn't seem overly concerned about the Eagles and their blitzing.
"I come from Pittsburgh, and we played against Baltimore, we played against Philly," Russell said. "I know it's more about being mentally prepared and doing everything right."
Cable liked Russell's work at the position during the week and stressed the blocking will be a collective effort againts Philadelphia.
"Well for not having ever done it (until) last week, he did it very well, looked really good in practice so this will be more just getting him work at the position all week will make it an easy transition for him," Cable said. "He's an athlete and he's a good football player."
More Friday news and notes:
— Chaz Schilens was officially listed as "questionable" Saturday and looked to be a game time decision. Cable said the determing factor would be "Seeing how he feels on Sunday where we're at in terms of whether it's time to pull the trigger and get him out there. Again he still has some soreness after each day so it's just a matter of how he gets through that."
— Sounds as if Erik Pears could get a quick hook at right tackle should he falter against the Eagles, with Khalif Barnes being at the ready.
— DE Greg Ellis (knee) and Schilens were listed as questionable. Lawton was doubtful, while RB Darren McFadden (knee), LG Robert Gallery (fibula), tackle Cornell Green (calf), wide receiver/return specialist Nick Miller (shin) and LB Ricky Brown (ankle) are out.
Brown will have his ankle in a cast for three to four weeks, after which time the Raiders will determine whether he will need surgery _at which time he will go on injured reserve _ or rehab to salvage the remainder of the season.
— Cable declined comment on Randy Hanson's offer through Yahoo! Sports.com to take a lie detector test regarding their alleged altercation on Aug. 5.

Harrisburg, Pa. – The summer heat of August may be three months away — but a new fundraising partnership is already burning up the pavement for a statewide non-profit organization. The PA Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC) recently teamed up with Lebanon-based Bill Martel Racing to promote breast cancer awareness and education at the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Pocono Mountain 125 and The Pennsylvania ARCA 125 – Presented by Menard's. These events will take place during the first weekend of August at The Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA.
Go Pink at Pocono benefits the PA Breast Cancer Coalition and event organizers are searching for supporting sponsors to join them in victory lane. Multiple sponsorship levels are available and include race car and race truck logos, event tickets, pit tours, driver meet-and-greets and more! Inaugural Go Pink at Pocono race t-shirts will also be for sale and are sure to be a hit. Race veteran Kyle Martel of Lebanon will drive one-of-a-kind pink vehicles during two events at the Pocono Raceway.
"This unique event will take the message of breast cancer awareness and early detection to thousands of Pennsylvania families," said Pat Halpin-Murphy, president and founder of the PBCC. "We are extremely grateful to Bill Martel Racing for joining forces with the PBCC."
"We are both honored and excited to promote the PBCC at one of the most visible races in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series – and for one of the best causes in Pennsylvania," said Rob Ziemba, V.P. Sales and Marketing for Bill Martel Racing and The Martel Group. "The winner will be the PBCC because the money stays in Pennsylvania."
Ziemba concluded by saying "we are racing for a reputable Pennsylvania organization and have the right race team and driver in place to help raise as much money and awareness as we can. We want to cross the finish line with the PBCC and do our part to help find a cure for breast cancer now…so our daughters won't have to."
To sponsor Go Pink at Pocono, and to request additional information, please contact Rob Ziemba at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information about Bill Martel Racing, visit www.kylemartel.com.
The PBCC represents, supports and serves breast cancer survivors and their families in Pennsylvania through educational programming, legislative advocacy and breast cancer research grants. The PBCC is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure now…so our daughters won't have to. For information call 800-377-8828 or visit www.PABreastCancer.org.

Every so often I get the philological bug and start going back and trying my hand at a dead language. This time, I finally picked up that old monster of Greek, and started having a serious go at it — like, vocabulary notecards in the inside pocket of my sports coat, muttering paradigms in the elevator, spending my nights declining sigma-stem nouns kind of go at it. I've made serious progress in just three weeks, if I do say so myself, and I'm getting obsessed.
It's just downright infinite. It's like Borges' "Book of Sand." I learn a paradigm, turn the page, and there's another one, all seemingly different (I just wrote "seem" and my brain coughed up "dokei."). At the same time, though, you can see patterns underneath the paradigms: order arising out of the chaos of inflections and declensions. Then, once you grasp a pattern, you pull back and there's a larger weirdness that seems irregular, and then eventually you stare at that long enough and there's another pattern. It's no wonder some of the greatest minds the west ever produced grew up on this language: just conjugating a verb required a mind that could grasp fractal levels of complexity.
Tonight I hit the wall, which happens in learning anything this complex. I ran into a sentence so filled with things I only vaguely grasp — imperfect verbs with their foggy secondary verbal endings, sigma- and liquid-stem nouns, and the incredibly slippery prepositions . . . It was like walking into a crowded room and hearing people screaming words at you in disjointed cacophony. I get frustrated. I wanted to punch the book, I was so annoyed. So you look at it, and look at it, and think about it, and look up a few words, and work backwards (let's see — Oou must be the second person middle voice singular ending -so, undergoing sigma-deletion and contraction with the theme vowel -e- to produce eo which becomes ou, which means there must be augmentation of the first vowel, so it can't be omega-iota-subscript but omicron followed by iota which makes the root . . . oiomai — Aha! "you believed!") Doing this is not knowing a language; it's decoding it. But it's the first step.
Meaning swims out of noise. What appears at first to be alien symbols quickly becomes an alphabet. Then the alphabet becomes words. The endings, rules of conjunction, and all of that eventually becomes habit and instinct. And then they stop being words and become meaning.
It baffles me: our brains do that. What Vonnegut calls a "dog's supper" of fat and nerve tissue can reconcile the rules of Greek grammar and turn gibberish into meaning.
How, ma Dia, can anyone who admits that someone can learn ancient Greek simultaneously deny that magic is real?

JEFFERSON CITY (AP) � The Missouri National Guard is processing requests from same-sex partners for military ID cards that are the gateway to accessing benefits.
A Pentagon policy taking effect in early September makes same-sex spouses of gay military members eligible for health care and other benefits that also are available to opposite-sex partners. It followed the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act and does not apply to unmarried gay partners.
Although some states have refused to issue the ID cards at National Guard facilities, the Missouri National Guard processes requests for those who can provide proof of marriage. Spokeswoman Maj. Tammy Spicer said cards have been issued to same-sex spouses but that the exact figure is not available. She said the Missouri National Guard is following Department of Defense policies.
"We are issuing ID cards to anyone who is legally married and that would happen to include same-sex couples," she said. "If you are legally married, you are eligible to get an ID card at the Missouri National Guard."
Gov. Jay Nixon earlier this month directed the state Department of Revenue to accept joint tax filings from same-sex couples who get legally married in another state. Missouri's tax code is tied to that of the federal government, and Nixon said married couples who file joint federal tax returns are required also to file state taxes jointly. Federal tax officials determined legally married same-sex couples would be treated as married regardless of where they live.
The Missouri Constitution does not allow for same-sex marriage. Voters in 2004 overwhelmingly approved a measure stating marriages must be between a man and a woman to be valid and recognized in Missouri.
It was the first state constitutional amendment restricting gay marriage to come after the Massachusetts Supreme Court permitted it there.
Gay marriage has been legalized in 16 states, including Illinois where it will be allowed starting next summer and in Iowa where the state's high court legalized it. On Missouri's southwestern border, the Oklahoma governor said all marriage benefits would be processed by federal employees at four federally owned National Guard facilities and at the state's five military bases. The governor said that would allow the guard to obey state law without violating federal rules or policies.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in a speech last month criticized states that have not issued ID cards at National Guard facilities. He said it has created a hardship by forcing couples to travel to federal military bases and has caused division among the military ranks.

For those of you who love the Nintendo 3DS but just find it a little too portable for your tastes, Nintendo has answered your prayers, announcing the larger Nintendo 3DS XL in a Web video presentation late last night. North American consumers will be able to grab the super-sized hardware and a 4GB SD card for $199 on August 19, alongside New Super Mario Bros. 2, while Japanese and European consumers get their hands on it July 28.
The redesigned hardware, which has the same internal computing power and software compatibility as the original 3DS, sports a glasses-free 3D top screen that is 4.88 inches diagonally, up from 3.53 inches on the original 3DS, while the bottom screen has been extended from 3.02 inches to 4.18 inches. That is 90 percent more total screen space, but keep in mind that the 3DS software will still be running at the same resolution, so the pixel density will actually be decreasing, leading to graphics that may look a little blockier.
Extra space inside the case means extra space to fit an expanded battery, it seems. Nintendo is touting an improved 6.5 hour battery life for the 3DS XL, improving on the paltry three- to five-hour charge that was a major sticking point in our review of the original 3DS.
Besides the larger screens, the redesigned hardware should also be a bit more comfortable to hold in larger hands, which should make games like Kid Icarus Uprising much less hand-cramp inducing. The XL doesn't use any of its extra real estate for a second circle pad, though, and the existing Circle Pad Pro add-on definitely won't fit the new system's bulkier frame. That means you'll likely need to buy an inevitable Circle Pad Pro XL, and make the system even larger, to control games like Resident Evil: Revelations the way they were meant to be controlled.
The announcement of the 3DS XL echoes the 2010 release of the DSi XL, which similarly embiggened the original DS in 2010 (yes, "embiggened" is a perfectly cromulent word). That unit came out almost six years after the original Nintendo DS, though, making it feel like a bit of a late-in-the-game afterthought for the DS line. The 3DS XL, by contrast, will be hitting stores barely a year after the original 3DS launched to initially lackluster sales and an early price drop.
Nintendo is counting on rapidly increasing 3DS sales to turn around historic losses for the last fiscal year, but the market for larger Nintendo portables isn't exactly proven. While the DSi XL has sold just over 12 million units worldwide through March, the smaller DSi cleared 22 million unit sales, and the original DS has sold over 116 million.
Nintendo didn't address whether existing 3DS owners would be able to easily transfer their existing digital purchases to a new 3DS XL. That feature was a major omission from the DSi XL, though the 3DS did let DSi owners bring their files over, and Nintendo has promised that the Wii U will do the same for existing Wii downloads.
Nintendo also used its presentation to highlight many upcoming 3DS titles, including a Street Pass-enhanced Animal Crossing game, a new version of Super Smash Bros. being co-developed by the fighting masters at Namco Bandai (alongside an upcoming Wii U version), and new titles in the Professor Layton and Fire Emblem series. The company also confirmed its first foray into portable downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Fire Emblem.

If you're the type of person that doesn't like to put a physical case on their iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, the Golla line of pouches may be more up your alley. While you aren't using your iPhone they'll do a great job of protecting it as well as giving you a bit of storage space for things such as credit cards or an ID.
I took a look at two different kind of Golla pouches - the Golla Jacinda Smart Bag and the Golla Bay Pouch. The main difference I noticed between the two were the material type. The Bay Pouch had more of a corduroy feel to it while the Jacinda pouch was more of a mesh on the inside.
Both cases fit the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S extremely nicely. I felt like the fit wasn't loose enough that my iPhone would fall out but it wasn't tight to where it was a pain taking it in and out each time. I also liked the ability to keep my credit card, bank card, and ID in the front slot.
I hate carrying a purse so anytime I can get away with not having one, I do. This case made that possible. I found myself frequently using the carabiner to attach my phone to my belt loop or laptop bag. I thought this was extremely convenient. I never really found a use for the lanyard.
- Very nice fit with both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S
- I felt as if it honestly did protect the phone in most instances
- Great for anyone who wants to carry their device naked or with just a body shield
- Extra room for credit cards built into the case
- The included carabiner makes it super easy to clip the case onto virtually any bag or pair of pants
- A wide variety of colors, patterns, & styles to choose from
- Doesn't play nice with form fitting cases which will make the phone too thick to fit. Certain thinner cases seemed to work but thicker ones won't.
- Doesn't provide protection while you are actually using the device
- You will have to take the device out or put it in bottom up when you need to charge your iPhone
I'd recommend this case for anyone that typically prefers keeping their iPhone naked. If you use an actual form fitting case on your iPhone you'll most likely have to remove it in order for it to fit inside a Golla bag. This would probably go along nicely for those that use products like Wrapsol or InvisibleShield.
The Golla Bay Pouch and the Golla Jacinda Smart Bag are both available in the TiPb accessory store.
We're giving away a couple (2) of Golla bags! Just head on over to the TiPb iPhone accessory store Golla bag page, pick the one you like best, a

In this inquiry investigation, students conclude that the motion of the Earth is linked to the changes we observe such as the length of the day. Students learn about the reason behind the Earth's time zones. An optional water clock and sand clock making activity supports this investigation.
This is a reading associated with activities during Solar Week, a twice-yearly event in March and October during which classrooms are able to interact with scientists studying the Sun. Outside of Solar Week, information, activities, and resources are archived and available online at any time.
This is a lesson about detecting ice on the permanently shadowed craters of Mercury and the Moon. Learners will consider what might be in that ice and will examine why the polar regions of Earth, Mercury and the Moon are colder than elsewhere on the planets.
In this problem set, learners will use a graph of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere of the last 2000 years to answer questions related to increases over time and why scientists link this increase with human activity. Answer key is provided.
Learners will investigate various ways to improve mission design to maximize the scientific return. In the first activity, students examine how the use of flowcharts can help make computer programs error-free and efficient, in this way making the spacecraft more reliable.
This software package displays movies and images of the aurora and the Sun in various wavelengths from the ground and from NASA spacecraft; a tutorial about what space weather is and how the aurora is formed; and more.
In this activity, students build a simple computer model to determine the black body surface temperature of planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
This is an activity about the properties of electromagnets, which is a crucial underpinning for understanding how magnetic fields are generated in nature, in the surface of the Sun, and in the interior of Earth.
In this activity, learners replicate the scientific processes of observing, forming an explanation, revising and communicating about a model of a comet. Learners construct a model of features of a comet using an assortment of common craft supplies.
Learners will use simple sports balls as scale models of Earth and the Moon. Given the astronomical distance between Earth and the Moon, students will determine the scale of the model system and the distance that must separate the two models.

Rapper Wiz Khalifa and model Amber Rose celebrated their love by throwing a huge wedding party over the weekend.
The pair invited friends and family to watch them exchange vows on Sunday, one month after they officially tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in July.
Rapper Juicy J performed at the bash and took to Twitter to share a picture of himself with the groom, who donned a bright pink tuxedo jacket for the big day.
On Monday, Rose re-tweeted congratulations from guests who were in attendance, including a message from producer Nima Fadavi reading, "Congrats to my brother Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose! Had a great weekend at an amazing wedding!"
Rose, who gave birth to her and Khalifa's son Sebastian in February, also shared a video of her dancing in a white dress with the caption, "Only bad [bleep] twerk the night before their wedding."

Should have posted this yesterday, but it's only just Wednesday! Haven't had time to blog much lately, or to do much genealogy. I did zoom into the library on Monday to research Sarah Scotney in answer to a query from an Australian descendant of my BIL's family. My results only extended our confusion.
I have been working on the main website – at the moment it's still running Joomla! 1.5, and the latest version is 1.7. I've updated my genealogy software, GRAMPS, to the latest version, and I really like the extra functionality. But the script I use to display the GEDCOM on my website doesn't work with the latest version of GRAMPS. The author is working on that.
Meanwhile, I looked for an alternative. As I'm making changes, I decided to update Joomla! while I was at it. I'm still running on localhost, and it's not ready to go live yet. I'm trying the Joaktree extension, which worked well on the first install. Then I tried a different site template, which made Joaktree's display completely unreadable. I changed the template, no joy. I uninstalled Joaktree, and reinstalled. Now I get a 404 when I try to access Joaktree's control panel.
Uninstalled again, manually removed the remaining Joaktree entries from the php database, reinstalled, but Joaktree still doesn't want to play.
So that's why you can't find my ancestors on the main website at the moment. I just wish there were more genealogy extensions for Joomla!

I've only read Chobits straight through, although I've seen bits of their other work. I've read one book of 'Wish' and then a little of two other series by them. I can't remember what the other two were called, though.
CLAMP's books are on my list of things to get, once I'm ready to start collecting books again. I'm probably drawing question to my masculinity with them, but oh well. *shrug*
Heh heh heh heh heh. I'd say to make sure you anti-virus is up to date, but maybe you should check for a rogue A.I. chip, instead.
Hmm, I'll have to check that one out. I haven't read much manga since Chobits.
Hmm, weird. Wonder what's wrong with your system?
Also, very weird manga you've got there. :-D I can see the context for your comment, now.
