No purple pasty this year!
At the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, celebs ditched the wild outfits and instead opted for gorgeous Grammy-ready gowns.
Leading the pack of elegant stars? Taylor Swift . The star was simply stunning in a plunging Herve Leger by Max Azria gown. She completed her retro look with finger curls and her signature sassy red lip.
Equally as beautiful in navy was her bestie Selena Gomez (think they planned to wear the same color?), who for the second big event in a row opted for a thigh high split. This time her Atelier Versace gown only had one split but the top had an exposed bustier, which added even more va-va-voom to her look.
Also going with a sheer effect, Ciara glowed in a Givenchy creation with perfectly placed crystal embellishments and a feather hemline. The dress even had built in gloves, which may seem very familar to fashion fans.
These awe-inspiring looks had us begging for more, so we tapped celebrity stylist Nicole Chavez for additional insight.
"This year's red carpet empitomized the art of fashion as a form of self-expression, from Katy Perry expressing her wild and independent side in leopard to Selena Gomez expressing her sexy, mature side in her stunning illusion bodice gown. Stores like T.J.Maxx serve as a creative playground to find those designer embellished pieces that allow you to express your personal style," she told us.
Gowns aside, there were a few pretty above-the-knee ensembles. Allison Williams was the definition of lovely in a white Valentino mini while Shailene Woodley proved the crop top can look lady-like by pairing it with a printed Emilio Pucci skirt.
Which celeb had your favorite look from last night?

Photographer Interview: Darrell Vannostran
Darrell Vannostran is a photographer and videographer based in Oklahoma City, OK. I follow Darrell on Instagram (@thecontinue) and enjoy his mix of abandoned and derelict locations with beautiful landscapes.
Where are you and what do you do?
I'm a photojournalist, videographer, and photographer based in Oklahoma City. I sword fight in my free time.
How did you get started in photography?
I've enjoyed taking photos since I was a little kid. My first camera was a Polaroid OneStep Close-Up, and I mostly used it to take pictures of my television and my dog. When I got into middle school my mother bought an SLR and signed me up for a photography class at the local vo-tech, where I learned to develop black and white film. I eventually took an introductory photography class in college, but I became much more interested in video production. In the last few years I've picked up photography again and realized how much I've missed still photography.
What do you like about your photography?
I have a lot of trouble remembering things, especially the photos I take, so when I get around to editing I'm constantly surprised at the images I've captured. Occasionally it'll bring back memories and emotions, and sometimes I have no recollection of having ever seen what I'm looking at. Now I focus on making photos that are impossible for me to forget. I love it when I'm able to make a photograph that feels as if it has texture to it.
You do a great mix of decay and beautiful landscapes. What kinds of themes do you explore with your work?
I'm in love with the fact that nothing lasts forever yet something can have a lifespan much greater than my own. I like to think of my photos as mugshots of spaces or objects, without people, that have lost their purpose or have been left alone giving them a sense of isolation or emptiness to them, wether it's an abandoned warehouse or an open field. This is that object at a single moment in its life and what you see are the details that I think define it.
I also love windows. They have so much character that it's impossible to ignore them.
Any upcoming projects or shoots you're working on?
I'm constantly looking for new places and adventures to be had. I love road trips, and I'm hoping to go on several this year. You never know what you'll find out on the road.
Learn more about Darrell's work on his website, and follow him on Instagram.

Written by The Herald-News
Each year, The Herald-News interviews the new teachers in the community to provide our readers with an introduction to the new school staff teaching our children.
This week, we feature three of those new teachers and will continue our coverage in upcoming weeks.
After taking a year off from teaching, June Petrik is back at Northside Elementary School as a librarian.
Petrik enjoys reading and is hoping to help nonreaders to find the joy of reading and readers to expand their reading knowledge.
Petrick has been a preschool, special education and regular education teacher.
Shanna Hopson is a new third-grade teacher at Southside Elementary School. She was born and raised in Wolf Point and graduated with the class of 2009.
Being from Wolf Point, she is really excited to be back home and part of the community again. "My brother is a senior this year," Hopson said, "and I am excited to witness all of the hard work he is into in preparation for college next fall."
"I decided to become a teacher because I love to learn and I also found a deep passion for history while attending Wolf Point High School. I loved my teacher Mr. Denny and I wanted to show kids the fun side of a 'boring' subject! History is what I love, but I hope I can help students find what it is they love by teaching in a way that lets them explore what interests them!" Hopson said when asked why she became a teacher.
She graduated from Montana State University - Bozeman in 2013 and this is her first teaching job. She completed her student teaching in Cut Bank.
"Helping students realize that what they are learning is going to help them for the rest of their lives. I love it when their eyes light up when they are excited that they learned something new," Hopson said.
"I love it that my students are starting to have a personal relationship with me. They can tell when I'm having a hard day or when it is an appropriate time to have some goofy fun," Hopson noted.
"With this being my first year teaching, I'm excited for everything! I'm ready for the challenge and work. People always say that you have to do your time before everything works out for the best, I'm ready to put in my time and figure out what the best is going to be!"
Vivian Schultz is originally from Lewistown, but has been teaching for the past eight years at Ryegate. She is the new high school art teacher and librarian.
"I became a teacher because I seem to have the patience for it and I love learning new things," she said. "It did help that my grandmother was also a teacher."
She earned her bachelor degree in art from Montana State University - Billings and also attended Rocky Mountain College, Western Montana College and other universities during the summer.
She previously taught at Ryegate Public School, Grass Range Public School and Hobson Public School. She noted that she was lucky enough to student teach twice for her K-12 and K-8 endorsement at Winnett Public School and Hobson Public School.
When asked what she enjoys the most about teaching, she said, "I enjoy my subject matter and meeting new people. I have many favorite memories in teaching. Most are funny things my students say."
She noted that she is "looking forward to learning more about the cultural differences between working on a reservation and working in a small rural school. Wolf Point has much to offer and the people I have met are great."
Robin Hayes-Hernandez, who is originally from Wolf Point, said she decided to become a teacher because of some of the many teachers and administrators I had at Wolf Point High School.
She got her bachelor of art degree from the University of Montana and her masters degree from the University of Phoenix. She is the new junior high English teacher.
She has taught previously in Frazer, Lodge Grass, HelenaSchools and Capital High, Pinon, Ariz., and several schools throughout the Denver County, Jefferson County and Addams County in Colorado. She also taught at Fort Peck Community College and offered workshops through the college and assisted the staff developer at Pinon.
When asked what she enjoys most about teaching, she said, "I enjoy working with the students and seeing them realize how much they can enjoy and use what they are learning in real life, especially in a time of a 'Global Society' where they could end up working from home on a laptop or computer and be paid from a company in other parts of the world."
Her favorite memory of teaching so far was when a student from Frazer who graduated and had become a police officer pulled me over to thank me for being his teacher and being honest with him about life after high school.
She is looking forward to learning from her students and teaching and sharing her knowledge with her students.
She noted that she wanted to say hi and said that she hasn't seen many in the community in a long time and encouraged the community stop in at school any time. She loves having people come in and see what is going on in the classroom.

Clearing a Path to Nature
The disengagement of children from nature has begun to alarm some of America's more thoughtful naturalists, scientists, and environmentalists.Posted May 28, 2009
If children's direct experience of nature is vanishing, where are future environmentalists going to come from? In 1978, Thomas Tanner, professor of environmental studies at Iowa State University, conducted a study of environmentalists' formative influences—what it was in their lives that had steered them to environmental activism. He polled staff members and chapter officers of major environmental organizations.
"Far and away the most frequently cited influence was childhood experience of natural, rural, or other relatively pristine habitats," according to Tanner. Most enjoyed unstructured play and discovery in such settings almost every day during childhood. "Several studies since mine have supported my findings," he says. "But for some reason, you don't hear many environmentalists expressing much concern about the intimacy factor between kids and nature."
One naturalist who has given this issue some thought is Robert Stebbins, professor emeritus at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley. For more than 20 years, Stebbins' book, A Field Guide to Western Reptiles and Amphibians, which he wrote and illustrated, has remained the undisputed bible of herpetology, inspiring countless youngsters to chase snakes.
"We've got to teach children and young people that we're related to every living thing," Stebbins told me. As we spoke, he dropped scores of slides into an old viewer. "Look," Stebbins said, "Ten years of before-and-after photos."
Taken by Stebbins and his students in the California desert over a period of 10 years, the slides document the destruction caused by all-terrain vehicles (ATVs):grooves and slashes, tracks that will remain for centuries. Desert crust ripped up by rubber treads, great clouds of dirt rising high into the atmosphere; a gunshot desert tortoise, with a single tire track cracking its back. Stebbins discovered that 90 percent of invertebrate animal life—insects, spiders and other arthropods—had been destroyed in the ATV-scarred desert areas.
Forgotten Connections
Looking at Stebbins' slides, I wondered whether this destructiveness was simply the inevitable product of population growth in a fragile area, or whether our culture is producing a succession of generations with depreciating regard for the environment.
"One time, I was out watching the ATVs. I saw these two little boys trudging up a dune. I went running after them. I wanted to ask them why they weren't riding machines—maybe they were looking for something else out there," said Stebbins. "They said their trail bikes were broken. I asked them if they knew what was out there in the desert, if they'd seen any lizards. 'Yeah,' one of them said, 'But lizards just run away.' These kids were bored, uninterested. If only they knew."
So how do we help them know?
For the past decade, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer and son of the late senator, has helped an organization called Riverkeeper bring back the Hudson River from its polluted, watery grave. He likes to take his children scuba diving in the Hudson. He "buddy dives" with them, which is a method to teach correct underwater breathing.
With a single oxygen tank, he and a child will descend to the bottom of the river and sit next to a large rock, sheltered from the current. He holds the child around the shoulders or waist (protectively, but also to feel the child's breathing) and the two of them pass the mouthpiece back and forth. They sit down there, among the dancing plants, and watch the fish go by: the aggressive bass and whiskered catfish, and even an occasional sturgeon, monstrous, prehistoric, and graceful.
Kennedy told me of his earliest experiences as the family's "nature child," as he called himself, and how those experiences shaped his fathering.
"I spent every afternoon in the woods when I was growing up in Virginia," he said. "I loved finding mud puppies, salamanders, crayfish, frogs. From the time I was 6 years old, my room was filled with aquariums. And it still is today. I have a 350-gallon tank and I have aquariums all over my house." Catfish, eel, bullheads, striped bass, largemouth bass, blue fish, perch, sturgeon and trout. He and his kids catch them in the Hudson, bring them home alive, and keep them in the aquariums for a few days—then release them.
Practical Things You Can Do
Most children are good at introducing themselves to nature; they just need a little encouragement. The garden spider, the ant highway, the bluegill taking a worm—these are all doorways into that other world, the one outside the Nintendo universe. As parents, we can help open those doors. Particularly in urban areas, exposure to nature doesn't come naturally. We need to bring nature to our kids. We can:
- Join nature organizations, and encourage them to pay attention to kids. The National Audubon Society, the National Wildlife Federation, the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club or other organizations are beginning to address the breach between kids and nature. Most have monthly publications with spectacular natural photography; some have special memberships and magazines for kids.
- Take a nature break. Take children for a walk in the woods. If there isn't one nearby, visit a local zoo. Look for insects under leaves and birds in the trees. Get dirty. Play in the mud. Stand in the rain until your clothing is soaked. Show kids how good nature can feel.
- Go camping, boating, hiking. "When we go camping, I try to tap a vein of mystery I remember when I was a child," says John Johns, a Los Angeles businessman. "I get them up before dawn so we can see the coyotes. We hike under the moon, no flashlights. On camping trips, if the parents have a good time, the kids will have a good time. They'll connect with nature."
- Take nature vacations. Families that don't enjoy camping can still vacation in natural settings by renting a mountain or beach cabin for a few days. Ski trips give kids a chance to roll in the snow. Dude ranches give family members a chance to ride horses, sleep under the stars, and pretend they are cowboys and cowgirls.
- Encourage schools to incorporate nature into the curriculum. Some schools adopt nearby canyons, fields or woods and, as part of biology class, clean up the trash, remove the non-native plants, and study the animal life. These programs help kids experience nature up close, and improve science education by making it personal and hands-on.
- Conduct family or school nature treasure hunts and nighttime explorations. Anne Lambert, mother of three and former high school teacher, quotes Rachel Carson: "It is not half so important to know as to feel" when introducing a young child to the natural world.
Remembering the Value of Dreamtime
Most of all, we need to give our kids some dreamtime—and recognize the connection between nature, emotional health, and creativity. Many of our most gifted thinkers and creators were touched, as children, by the magic of nature.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens held down an adult job at the age of 14, but when his working day ended at three in the afternoon, he headed to the river to swim or fish or navigate a "borrowed" boat. There he dreamed of becoming a pirate or a trapper scout and became Mark Twain. The poet T. S. Eliot, who grew up next to the Mississippi River, wrote, "I feel that there is something in having passed one's childhood besides the big river which is incommunicable to those who have not."
The art critic Bernard Berenson recalled:
"As I look back on fully 70 years of awareness and recall the moments of greatest happiness, they were for the most part, moments when I lost myself all but completely in some instant of perfect harmony. In childhood and boyhood this ecstasy overtook me when I was happy out of doors?"
Creativity begins, he theorized, "with the natural genius of childhood and the 'spirit of place.'" Today, most children are probably hard-pressed to induce this spirit of place while stuck in a traffic jam on their way to soccer practice, or trapped inside a house because of the fear of crime, or fixated on achieving the next level of Mortal Kombat.
My sons often remind me that there is much that is good about today's childhood. But still I wonder: Am I doing enough to pass on to them a sense of natural wonder? Am I listening? Surely my 10-year old Matthew, who enjoys Nintendo as much as the next kid, is sending me a clear message: He says he wants to do a lot more fishing this year.
That, he says, is what he needs.
Richard Louv is the author of several books about children and community, including, The Web of Life: Weaving the Values that Sustain Us (Conari Press), Fly-Fishing for Sharks: An American Journey (Simon & Schuster), and the national bestseller Last Child in the Woods.

Curvy women often have a hard time finding clothes that are flattering and fit them properly. In a fashion world obsessed with waif-like models who are rarely the size of the average woman, curvy people often find it difficult to discover skirts that make them look and feel good. Unfortunately, clothes that look just fine on skinny girls can make curvaceous women look too provocative.
Still, voluptuous women have many options when it comes to skirts. Those who are seeking ones that flatter their figure should consider these eight styles. Because a skirt is not worn alone, curvy women should also consider how it works with other apparel, shoes, and accessories. Whether purchased from traditional clothing stores or online through eBay, wearing the right skirt can make curvy women feel glamourous and good about themselves.
Overview on the Curvy Body Shape
When people talk about curvy women, they are often referring to four body types: hourglass, pear, funnel, and apple. Women should know their body type before purchasing a skirt that best suits them.
Curvy Body Type
Small, well-defined waist
Large hips
Large chest
Most aspired body type
Wide hips
Short waist
Long legs
Most common body type
Curvy top area
Larger chest than hips
Slender hips
Trim thighs
Fullest around belly and middle area
Large bust area
Slender legs
Flat bottom
Women come in all shapes and sizes. Apart from the overall body shape, curvy women should also take into consideration their height when choosing a skirt. Petite women, for example, should keep their skirts knee length. At the end of the day, it is a matter of knowing the best skirt to match their silhouette.
8 Flattering Skirts for Curvy Women
Because of their shapely nature, curvaceous women often find that skinny jeans are not their best friend, especially since it often clings to all the wrong places. According to many fashion bloggers, clothes that fit well should skim the body instead of clinging to it like a sausage. No wonder many curvy women turn to skirts for a flattering look.
Style 1: A-Line Skirt
According to Oprah Magazine, every curvy woman should have an A-line skirt in her closet. A-line skirts have a fitted top that clings to the upper hip and gets slightly wider towards the hem, making it look like the letter "A". Christian Dior first introduced this silhouette in his 1955 spring collection, but it was Yves Saint Laurent that modified and popularised the design as it is known today. Because its style hides the wearer's hips and thighs, and its universally flattering nature, InStyle magazine believes that women of all body types should have an A-line skirt.
Style 2: Flared Skirt
Flared skirts are the exaggerated version of the A-line skirt. Generally, its design hugs at the hips and flares out dramatically as it reaches the hem. Many fashion bloggers recommend the flared skirt for tall women with large hips. Petite women, however, should steer clear of the flared skirt, because it can overwhelm their small frame. According to Instyle magazine, flared skirts are best when cinched at the waist, with a hemline that ends right below the knee.
Style 3: Pleated Skirt
Many people feel that curvy women should stay away from pleated skirts because it gives them unnecessary volume. Glamour Magazine, on the other hand, states that subtle pleats are acceptable so long as the waist is nipped-in and highlighted. In fact, many curvy fashion bloggers post pictures of themselves wearing various pleated A-line or flared skirts that are still flattering on their body. When choosing a pleated skirt, Glamour recommends choosing one with a fitted waist and pleat detail located near the hemline. Look for box pleated skirts, and avoid accordion-pleated skirts.
Style 4: Pencil Skirt
MSN recommends the pencil skirt for the curvy body type. It may seem counterintuitive for a curvy woman to wear a clingy skirt, but this is great for those who are curvy but have a flat stomach. Women with a noticeable belly can don Spanx or shapewear to smoothen out all the lumps and bumps. In fact, celebrities wear shapewear with the pencil skirt all the time. Combined with a statement belt, pencil skirts create sexy and streamlined silhouette. When choosing patterns, stay away from anything that is large and busy. Many fashion bloggers recommend going for skirts in solid colours whether bright or dark.
Style 5: Trumpet Skirt
Fashion writers also suggest curvy women wear trumpet skirts. This type of skirt is fitted at the top with a dramatic flare at the bottom. The trumpet skirt plays up the wearer's curves. According to Oprah Magazine, the skirt length should be knee length or risk looking like a flamenco dancer. Petite women, however, should choose skirts that end just before the knee. Pair it with stiletto heels for a glamourous look.
Style 6: Tulip Skirt
According to InStyle magazine, wearing a tulip skirt does wonders for a curvy woman's shape. Even if it adds extra layers on the hips, tulip skirts look great on many body shapes. For women with large busts and slim hips, this balances out their figure and makes their waist appear slimmer. Some tulip skirts are also draped using a chiffon fabric, giving it an ultra-feminine appearance. To add more visual punch to the outfit, fashion bloggers recommend wearing it with a wide belt.
Style 7: Wrap Skirt
From the name itself, a wrap skirt is a rectangular piece of fabric that is wrapped and tied around the waist. Because the wrap skirt is is self-adjustable, it can be fixed to completely cover or partially cover the legs. According to FlavourMag, wrap skirts on curvy women are best paired with a V-neck top. Fashion writers also suggest pairing wrap skirts with skinny heels to create the illusion of long and lean legs. Wrap skirts made from more casual fabric can be paired with a sandals or wedges.
Style 8: Maxi Skirt
According to Redbook Magazine, maxi skirts are great for the curvy fashionista. These are often an elastic garment that hugs the derriere and reaches down to the ankle. Maxi skirts give a boho-chic vibe, which is great for summer fashion. When purchasing a maxi skirt, curvy women should take care to look ones with a more structured fabric and silhouette. Wear it with wedges for easy-breezy summer look. Some fashion bloggers also wear the maxi skirt as a dress by bringing it up to their chest and wearing a belt.
Shopping for Skirts on eBay
If you are looking for skirts online, be sure to make eBay your first stop. Type "curvy skirts" on the search bar found on eBay's every page. Doing this turns up skirt listings catering to the curvy woman. Those who want better search results should be more specific like typing "A-line skirt" or "pencil skirts". Another option is to append the brand name of the product like "Zara maxi skirt" or "Marks and Spencer flared skirt".
You can also filter through the search results by price, condition, location, and more. Shoppers with questions can go to the very bottom of the product listing where the "Ask a Question" link is found. While there are also pre-owned skirts available, you should make sure to take a look at great eBay deals on skirts & shorts.
Whether possessing an apple, pear, hourglass, or funnel body type, curvy women can look beautiful with the right skirt. A wide range of skirts may be purchased, but not all of them are flattering on a curvy woman's figure. Complementary skirts for voluptuous bodies include A-line, flared, pencil, pleated, trumpet, tulip, maxi, and wrap skirts, among others. While these are skirt recommendations made by fashion bloggers and magazines, fashion do's and don'ts should always be thrown out the window if the person looks and feels beautiful in her outfit. After all, fashion is a form of self-expression. When looking for a skirt that best suits the curvy body, consider shopping on eBay to take advantage of the best deals and prices.

We've all seen it touted out there, that during any type of bugout scenario one should only move at night, as in moving during daylight hours is completely off the table as an option. Wrong. Not only will that course of action probably cause one more trouble than it's worth, it would increases the probability of injury or even death (versus moving during daylight hours). Before you immediately scroll down to the comment section in order to blast away at my theory, citing your military experience, I realize that our military "owns the night." They strike targets at night with ridiculous precision with weapons launched from miles away. Shadowy figures insert themselves under the cover of complete darkness and take down high value targets in well rehearsed fashion without making a sound. Even conventional forces use night vision and other accessories to gain a significant advantage over their enemy. Now think about what I just wrote and walk over to your family portrait which is hanging on the wall in your living room. Do you see a group of people with years of fighting experience who constantly train to remain proficient in night operations, and oh by the way do those people have the intelligence and logistical support which comes with being in the world's best military? Right now I'm picturing my wife stumbling through the woods with her bugout bag on, PVS 14's slipping down her head while she bumps into trees. Not the best case scenario, not to mention purchasing PVS 14's for the entire family is simply out of my price range.
Here's the deal, I have advocated moving at night and do still find value in that course of action but recommend it only if the situation were to demand doing so. If I were traveling alone moving at night would become much more of an option, even without the assistance of NVG's, but again only if the situation demanded it. If I were traveling with my family and possibly other members of a group, moving at night slips down the bracket to "only if no other options exist."
For all those who advocate that you should only move at night during a bugout scenario, here are 7 reasons why that is a really bad idea.
1- Your group will become separated: Even well trained military forces have this problem while out on patrol, how much more when everyday citizens are attempting to move under the cover of darkness? Maybe your survival group meets once a month to do a few drills and you've gone over some movement techniques, you feel confident because after you give the hand signal for "fire team wedge" everyone moves into formation while walking through a field. Now the TEOTWAWKI has occurred and you have been walking for 2 days, it's dark but you insisted everyone should move at night while busting through some pretty unfriendly terrain to avoid detection. You give the hand signal but it doesn't get all the way back, it doesn't even make it two people back because nobody can see it (or they are too tired to care). You relay up to the point man via your highspeed 2 way radio that you need to adjust your heading by 10 degrees for 2k meters. 30 minutes later you stop to do a headcount and….
2- You will become lost: Piggybacking on the #1 reason, not only will your group become separated you will most likely become lost while moving at night. Remember, in addition to only moving at night the other rule most often touted is to stay off the roads and natural lines of drift (read: take the path less traveled to avoid detection). If you've ever tried to navigate when it's so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face you'll know it's a daunting task. Now raise that difficulty level by 10 because you have family members with you, all wearing heavy gear and with feet that ache because they've never walked more than 50 feet in those new boots you got them for Christmas two years ago. There have been times when, attempting to reach a destination in daylight hours, I was CERTAIN I was dead on with my pace count and that my use of terrain association lined up perfectly with what was displayed on my map. This only to arrive at my "destination" with a confused look, where was I? This isn't right, where did I go wrong? That scenario, accompanied by a sinking feeling in the stomach, can happen to anyone and frequently does.
3- You are only as good as your weakest link: Maybe you have tons of military or law enforcement experience, and so do a few others in your group, but what about the family members? Even if you have night vision and PEQ 15's for every single person who is walking along, you'd better tie a rope to everyone's waist line or #1 and # 2 will surely take place (most likely on the very first attempt to move at night).
4- You cannot see hazards: Again we are assuming that you are not walking down the abandoned highway, but rather busting brush in order to avoid detection. Tree roots, holes in the ground, and large rocks are all potential hazards which simply cannot be seen at night when trudging along. Add to that the ever present element of fatigue and the chances of slipping and falling multiply ten fold. Now you've got someone who you need to transport by litter, the situation just got worse.
5- Light and noise discipline: Have you ever been sitting out on your back deck/patio at night and heard people talking in your neighborhood? They are out there somewhere, maybe 5 houses down just hanging out by their grill and talking but you can hear them as if they were 20 feet away. If it were daylight you probably wouldn't be able to discern their conversation as well, if at all. For whatever reason sounds seem to travel farther at night and this could lead to the detection of your group when your child starts crying because he/she tripped and fell. The same goes for light, someone switches on their GPS, cycles through their headlamp or lights a cigarette and that flash of light can be seen for quite a distance assuming a direct line of sight exists.
6- You move much slower than normal: You'll probably travel half the distance you would during the daytime, assuming you can stick together and someone doesn't snap an ankle. Not an optimal pace if you have quite a long distance to travel.
7- Missed foraging opportunities: Your guide to wild edibles probably won't be as useful if you are trying to find plants to eat when it's pitch black outside.
I'll wrap it up by restating my theory. There is value at moving at night but it should only be done if absolutely necessary. Otherwise you are asking for a host of problems which could potentially put the group at greater risk versus moving during daylight hours. Absolutely under no circumstances should a rule which states "we only move at night" be part of a group doctrine, unless your group gets paid to take down HVT's for a living.

Interior Updates that Inspire, Part 2
More Ideas To Bring Beauty And New Life Into Your Home
By Mara Soloway
Like designer Nate Berkus believes, your home should tell your story, not that of your decorator, trendsetters, friends or family. Our May issue featured several ways to get your home ready for all that spring and summer bring, which includes longer days, visitors, and the sensation of growth and natural beauty. These ideas are meant to inspire you to make updates that reflect your style and tastes. To keep that inspiration flowing, here are some more undertakings – some you can do with DIY skills and some that are best handled by a contractor – that will help make your house your home.
While flooring trends don't change as often home furnishings, technological advances are expanding our flooring choices. Ari Ziskin on FlooringInc.com explains that, "We can now do more than ever before with lookalike flooring and low-maintenance flooring options."
Flooring trends for 2016 include bamboo, reclaimed wood, large-format tile, cork, luxury vinyl, cut-and-loop carpet, American hardwood and concrete, according to HGTV.com. Tech advances applied to these materials include:
- Strand-woven bamboo, which is twice as hard as other bamboo flooring due to being engineered using the inner fibers,
- Reclaimed wood that gets a hand-hewn look in the factory,
- Fibers that make carpets softer,
- Expanded color palettes and finishes for cork, and
- Dependable, everyday vinyl now cast into the luxury category due to the printing process that basically can reproduce photos of wood, marble and other patterns on the vinyl.
And green – environmentally friendly, not the color – is in. Mary Umberger notes on newhomesource.com that factories in the U.S. produce greener carpets by making new fibers from melting down polyester. She notes that Shaw (Floors) is the only company recycling nylon into carpeting.
Add a rug
If you want to make one upgrade in your decorating scheme, new rugs can transform the space without you having to purchase new furniture. Even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting, area rugs can be used to define seating areas. "Use room-size rugs to cover large expanses of carpeting you don't love," Jessica McLintock advises in Simply Romantic Decorating. For something this large, you could look to antiques dealers for Persian and tribal rugs.
Similarly, HGTV.com notes a trend of layering floor rugs on top of each other. Other current styles are Bohemian/globally inspired patterns, neutrals, pops of pink, and rugs in shades of blues and grays, according to Rugs-Direct.com.
How do you decide how to get the best look, form and function for your specific need? Trust your innate design sensibilities. And numerous books and online resources can help you through the maze of choices in rug buying.
You can find inspiration in the variety of textures, colors, patterns and materials. A room with a mix of too many colors and patterns can be toned down with a rug of one color or a muted color scheme and patterning. For the opposite situation, interior stylist Lili Diallo suggests in Details, "If your home revolves around subdued neutrals or monochromatic tones, mixing patterns and materials will help you add visual texture."
Update your entry
Your home's curbside appeal is greatly enhanced by the look of its entryway. A new front door will bring new life to yours without a major structural upgrade. "Think about what works best with your home — an all-glass door is pretty contemporary, while an ornate wood door is elegant and traditional. You can also experiment with the size and shape," advises Houzz.com.
Once that door opens, what do visitors see? Partly it depends on whether you have a controlled entryway contained by at least three walls or an open layout entryway that usually opens right up into the living space. Either way, and whether your foyer soars two stories or not, this is where you engage your visitors the moment they step in. Paint an accent wall in a rich color, create an eye-catching display of art and mirrors, all of which you can highlight with new lighting. Put the lighting on a dimmer switch to control the mood.
Update kitchen counters
Designer Candice Olson makes her kitchen designs functional as well as sophisticated. In Kitchens & Baths, she features redesigns that often incorporate quartz countertops, which she calls uber durable. "It won't stain or scorch and stands up to hard use," she writes. And they have the bonus of being easy to care for and offer modern styling. While she features quartz countertops in a range of colors and patterns, Olson used black quartz in one remodel for its modern feel and the way it balances traditional cabinetry.
Other popular countertop materials include poured-in-place concrete that adds an industrial touch; time-honored granite that takes heat well; beautiful and economical marble; and soapstone and engineered stone composite, which are both durable and environmentally friendly. Whatever you choose, new countertops offer beauty and functionality to your kitchen.
Update cabinetry hardware
Complement your new countertops with new cabinetry hinges, knobs and pulls. Just like anything you can purchase to improve your home's interior, numerous styling and color options are available, including modern (metallics, bold shapes and sizes), antique or classic (wooden, wrought iron) and novelty or specialty knobs (nautical, jeweled, animal shapes). While you can ultimately shop online, head first to the hardware store to see the numerous options available and to test how they feel in your hand.
Update interior paint
"Color is one of the most dynamic elements in design and decoration. Even its absence makes its presence felt," writes Terence Conran in Conran on Color, adding that color can be subtle and allusive or bold and invigorating, depending on our personal connotations. "There's nothing like it to add spice to life and soul to your surroundings."
Is Conrad giving you artistic license to experiment with your home's interior paint colors? Yes, but to avoid an impulse decision that you'll regret later – such as a hot pink living room – head to the paint store and examine the sample cards with brand-specific, ready-made palettes to define which colors appeal to you and what matches them.
Conrade notes that painting one wall with an accent color will help define spaces in an open floor plan, signaling a shift in activity and defining furniture placement. Or keep it all neutral – shades of white, gray and pale pastels. It's your living space. Plus, repainting in the future if you change your mind is a relatively inexpensive process.
Paint woodwork and trim
This is an option if you are happy with the wall colors you have but want to make a subtle change. However, this involves a certain amount of work to prepare the surface by scraping off loose and cracked paint, filling in scratches with spackling, and caulking any gaps before you start painting the base coat, primer and the top coat of semi-gloss paint.
For more design ideas, consult an interior designer, and visit area flooring, furniture and home accessory stores for help in finding the right inspiration for bringing beauty and new life into your home.

I love art.
I love doing art with my kids.
I love sharing our art with everyone else on the internet.
This sums me up from start to finish, there really isn't much more.
This also sums up why artforkidshub.com was created. A blog was the easiest way I knew how to publish something so that anyone on the internet could access it.
While I've felt we've given a lot a way to others, the entire experience of running a little internet-media-production-machine has been a priceless education for me.
In the last post I said this site (robjensen.me) was all about becoming a better writer. But declaring I'm going to be a better writer by writing about EVERYTHING, isn't much of a plan.
Now, I have a better plan.
I want this site to take on the focus of sharing all of the lessons I've learned while managing AFKH. So, while the commitment to use this site as writing exercise is purely selfish, what I write about will hopefully be a true value to you.
Consider this site a curation of links, thoughts, tips, strategies and anything else relating to the world of media creation and distribution.
So if you're looking to build something similar, hop on in and lets take this thing around the block!

Help Guide for Windows Tools Deployment
This is a help guide for helping developers release windows tools onto the NEEShub. These steps are subject to change as the windows execution hosts mature over time. We will attempt to provide the developer with the proper steps from start to finish. These steps will not include the detailed steps which are outlined on NEEShub on how to contribute a tool (as a resource) https://nees.org/contribute/tools/register. We will provide more details on what it currently takes to add the extra steps on the windows execution host.
System Requirements
* Must run under Windows Server 2008 R2
(DataCenter) environment
* Must work within one of the available screen resolutions (800×600 or 1024×768)
* 3D graphics capability not currently supported
|Contribute a tool through NEEShub's normal tool registration process https://nees.org/contribute/tools/register (see process flow below)
|Follow this tool contribution process up to the point where the tool is ready to be published.
|The tool developer will need to contact NEEShub (via ticket) and start the process of getting the tool installed onto the windows execution hosts.
|The installation file(s) will need to be provided to NEEShub. The best way for this to happen is to upload the installation file(s) as supporting documents on the tools resource page. The file(s) will be downloaded from there and installed on the windows execution development host.
Note: This part of the process could take some time depending on the amount of complications during installation.
|The developer will be contacted if any issues arise during the installation process or during run-time.
Note: The developer will have to fix any issues before the tool is fully published and made available on NEEShub.
|Once all of the issues have been fixed the hostreq type and tool path (path on the windows execution host) will need to be updated on the NEEShub.
|The working tool will then be installed on the windows execution production host(s) as an app template.
|The app template will be added to the master clone container AND to each running container.
|The tool can NOW be published and made available for use on NEEShub.

A conspiracy involving 381 fraudulent returns at Lowe's stores in 11 states over a five-year period culminated in felony charges against five individuals in Indiana's Allen County Superior Court on Oct. 26.
The bar code switching scam, which operated between November 2005 and October 2010, was ultimately uncovered by Lowe's loss prevention department, according to court papers. The suspects allegedly purchased inexpensive items and then returned them, without a receipt, using a counterfeit bar code or one from a similar but higher priced item. In exchange, they received Lowe's gift cards.
Members of the group were able to avoid "frequent returns" system safeguards by using altered identification, investigators said.
The financial loss to Lowe's was estimated at $125,000. Of the 381 fraudulent returns, 276 occurred in the state of Indiana, according to court papers. A U.S. Secret Service agent with the Indianapolis field office assisted with the investigation.
Charged with corrupt business influence, a felony, and engaging in racketeering activity were Russell Creager, 40; Vanessa Jamison, 32; Katoya Lipscomb, 29; James Bennett, 40; and David Height, 56. All were residents of Allen County, Ind.

This post was inspired by 2 A.M. At The Cat's Pajamas by Marie-Helene Bertino, a novel about hope, love, and music in snow covered streets of Philadelphia. Join From Left to Write on August 28 we discuss 2 A.M. At The Cat's Pajamas. As a member, I received a copy of the book for review purposes.
In the book Madeline's life changed forever with the death of her mother and she had to change her everyday life. It's no secret that I had a miscarriage, so it is probably no secret that Nick and I have been trying for almost year to get pregnant again. I wish I could end this post with a ta-da, I am pregnant, but I can't.
I hate saying this, but I got pregnant easily the first two times. The first time I was on the pill, and it was a shock to say the least, but now I have a happy and healthy 3-year-old, and I would not change a single thing. When Nick and I discussed having a second baby, without a lot of effort I was pregnant again. Just like that, I wasn't. It was the worst thing I have ever been through.
Now with B starting pre-school it is really hitting me hard. I never expected to have this time to be by myself. Having a few hours a day where I could pretty much do anything is completely unexpected. Many people tell me that I will figure it out, because hopefully soon enough that will change. And I get it, I do, but this wasn't the plan, and I hate that I couldn't control this.
I mean, who wants to spend a minute away from this guy?
On top of all this, Nick and I have been seeing an RE (reproductive endocrinologist) to figure out exactly what is wrong with me, and it is never an easy process, is anything.., and one that I am not quite ready to put on this blog because I am still dealing with the process that we are going through and some of the diagnosis we were given.
I know in life things never go how you plan and you have to roll with the punches, so here I go, attempting to let life guide me and not the other way around…

I was browsing Youtube before for some nail arts a couple of weeks ago & i came across Mayparis' channel & i saw her doing a pawprint inspired nails. She even have a zebra print nails too!...wow!...& i just did a zebra nails weeks ago too...cool!She said that it can be good for short nails...& since i chipped my nails last week so i just had to cut them...
I am gonna go on a vacation (as if i had not been telling you over & over..lol) & i would still want my nails to look at its best even if its short. Then i remembered the pawprint nails & decided that i would want to try that.
So that's what i did & here it is: (the pic look dark..just click it to see it in a larger image)I tried to take a picture of both of my hands & i asked my mom to, but it came out blurry...& we had to even do it 3x..but it's still the same...guess her hands are shaky..lol
This is very far from being 'clean'. I guess if you look at it from afar it would look pretty...but up close...not exactly...I did not use toothpick in doing the design, but i just used an artist brush..the small one.
Although my left hand look a lot better than my right one..(im right handed)...so i am able to draw the design better using my dominant hand rather than the other..but then..im pleased with how it came..i might say that it looks cute...
She also has a blogsite on which you'll be able to see some of her nails up close...visit her here
ill be back after a couple of days...hope y'all have a nice day & a great weekend!

Charles W. Calomiris Professor of Financial Institutions, Columbia :
As economists Terry Anderson and Gary Libecap have shown in their incisive, factual, and balanced analysis, this bill will do significant harm to the economy and accomplish little that is worthwhile in the process. To quote those authors (): "Our major points are (1) that the administration has not been candid with the American public about the costs of these initiatives or about the likelihood of their ability to improve the environment; (2) that these initiatives are likely to encourage protectionism, reduce international trade, and hence slow the recovery of the U.S. and world economies; and (3) that slower growth will undermine environmental improvements at home and abroad."
No, I'm not surprised that few in Washington have bothered to read their analysis, or any other credible analysis of this initiative. This bill is a metaphor for the Obama Administration's approach to crafting economic policy. Wrap nonsensical economics in leftist platitudes and depend on ignorance, emotional speeches, Democratic majorities and the political mood of the time to carry you to victory, while, of course, reminding everyone that you are a moderate.
Actions have consequences and political moods change. Nonsense ultimately is revealed as nonsense and hubris has a price. If this passes into law, its failings and costs will become clear, and will help the electorate to reassess the broader tendencies that gave rise to it. Nevertheless, a lot of harm will be done along the way.

I don't think any real application of such P exists. [A] is simple, easy to verify, and no real problem; [B] is complex, difficult to verify the usage, and have problem (for normal users, not for pedants) that easily reproduces. That's why I recommend to use kill(0, SIGTSTP) everywhere. firstname.lastname@example.com writes: > >>> (such as kill(0, SIGTSTP)) > >> This is correct if, and only if, no SIGTSTP has already been > >> generated to the process group.

In order to trap misuse of proposed function (kill(getpid(), SIGTSTP) for this purpose, the function must return an error unless the signal is sent to all other processes of the process group. This is, however, almost impossible to implement, so I think we should not use the proposed function for SIGTSTP. > > A UNIX process should not count signals of the same type raised in > > succession, since it is unreliable.

That does no more than something like the user types ^Z twice. A UNIX process should not depend on the number of arrived signals. If two signal may arrive, yes, the process may do the work twice, but this should not harm the process. I wonder there ever exists such a program that invokes tty-oriented programs and that also handles SIGTSTP. Handling SIGTSTP is used for changing tty mode, and I don't think multiple processes out of a job handles SIGTSTP. Do you know a real application?

As a result of taking the simplest way, we have the side effect that accidentally protects users. Since there's no reason to avoid the not-so-bad side effect (for normal users), we just leave it. Spending more code sequences and having more possibility of making bugs to avoid ``clever'' thing seems rather silly. We still can avoid the side effect with SIGSTOP. > > FYI, the rogue(6) uses curses(3) and does the latter behavior.

If we don't handle SIGTSTP in the simplest way, the side effect don't appear. Regards, -- ITOH Yasufumi

The following editorial first appeared in The Voice of the Times:
Sound off on the important issues at
It would be a serious blunder to breathe life into the longevity bonus program that was killed in 2003 as the state faced a rising tide of red ink. It simply would be better to let sleeping dogs lie.
The popular program was established in 1973 to give $100 monthly to all Alaskans 65 or older who lived here on or before Jan. 3, 1959, and who had maintained a continuous "residence domicile" in the territory or state for 25 years. The idea was to keep Alaska's pioneers in the state.
Over the years, the bonus creeped up to $250 a month. In 1984, a Superior Court ruled the program's residency requirement unconstitutional. The Legislature cut it to one year. The program's cost that year, before the relaxed residency, was $29.1 million. The next year, it soared to $42 million. By 1992, it was $63 million a year, and new applicants were getting smaller and smaller payments. In 1993, the cost was $66.6 million; in 1996, the last year one could apply, it cost $73.2 million. When it was killed by a Gov. Frank Murkowski veto in 2003, it was costing $47.9 million.
Gov. Sarah Palin, who professes a desire to cut $150 million in state spending, has included money in her budget to reinstitute the program. The cost? About $32 million, and she wants to fully fund SeniorCare, the need-based program that replaced the bonus, at about $13 million.
How would the $45 million in programs be implemented? Who would be eligible? If only the original bonus recipients were eligible, those who applied before Dec. 31, 1996, could we not expect a raft of lawsuits from those left out? There are, after all, thousands of Alaskans who were denied the bonus.
Had the bonus program survived, it was estimated there would have been 14,000 monthly recipients nowadays, at a cost of $35.2 million, about what Palin plans on paying, and it pretty much would have played out by 2031. But Murkowski changed all that, and he was right. Let him be the bad guy and let's move on.
Despite its importance to some recipients, the program was lousy public policy. It was redistribution of wealth based on whim. It was free money. Reimplementing it now only compounds that, and makes for even worse public policy. What will happen if money gets tight again? And it will.
It is wonderful that some, like Palin, want to help the elderly, but government has no money. Somebody must pay for all that largesse, and too often lawmakers and bureaucrats, thinking with their hearts, are blind to the consequences of their actions. That's how a $2.5 million bonus program in 1973 burgeoned to a $73 million bottomless pit in 1996.
The lesson of all that has not been taken to heart. Nothing good can come from reinstituting the longevity bonus.
It was, and is, like the Permanent Fund dividend, a bad idea.
