There is new information about the Arizona lawmaker arrested on DUI charges. State Representative David Smith, who was behind several bills relating to DUI laws, was arrested last month in north Scottsdale after another driver saw him swerving and called 911.
The 911 caller was leaving a grocery store parking lot about 7:00 p.m. Oct. 21 when he ended up behind a vehicle that was being driven by State Representative David Smith.
He says Smith was driving so erratically he was afraid he was going to cause an accident.
Caller: "There's a black Chrysler 300 driving down Pima and it's like going over in the lane of oncoming traffic, going back and forth, I'm pretty sure he's drunk."
Police say State Representative David Smith,a criminal defense attorney, was the driver.
Caller: "I wouldn't call unless I thought it was something bad but I don't want him hurting somebody."
911: "And he's speeding?"
Caller: "He's swerving over like in the lane of oncoming traffic and to the lane right of him, I'm pretty sure he's been drinking."
Police pulled that Chrysler over. According to the report, Representative Smith even had trouble getting out of the car. He "lost his balance" and "stumbled twice" just walking toward the officer, court paperwork alleges.
During questioning, he asked the officer "do you know how I am?"
Police say Smith's breathalyzer test resulted in a .17 blood alcohol level, way above the legal limit.
Smith claims the only drink he had was "mouthwash two hours earlier."
He also stated that he's a "DUI attorney" and has "defended thousands" of DUI cases. As a state lawmaker he's pushed drunk driving legislation in Arizona.
Most recently he attempted to lessen penalties for first time DUI offenses.
Smith was arraigned Wednesday in Scottsdale. He actually came in third in his primary race, so his term as a state representative is almost over.

If you have time this weekend, read this daily diary of an inner city high school teacher from the Parenting web site. It is an anonymous account of a single day at a big city high school but well worth your time.
After reading about the writer's abrasive students, indifferent parents and ill-equipped building, I have to ask: Would any of us encourage our children to take her job?
The teacher's diary opens with a 6:45 a.m. text from a student, "hey do we hv skool 2day?" and ends with a late-night text from another student, "Wassup miss can I get my code thingy so I can chek my grades?"
Here are two short entries from what went on in between those texts:
My second class begins to arrive and immediately lets me know I'll be working hard for the next 50 minutes. They make their entrance pushing and shoving each other, taking each other's bags, running around the room, ignoring me. They used to be one of the best groups in this grade, but now we commonly refer to them to as "that formerly good class." Where things went downhill, I don't know.
I hand out a quiz. We spent the entire last class reviewing for this test, and yet it seems to take them completely by surprise today. It's clear that no one has studied. "I think you'll find you know more than you think you know," I try to reassure them.
"I think you'll find you're a bad teacher," quips one student, loud enough for us all to hear, even over the air vent.
11:00 am
While I'm bubbling in my attendance sheets in #2 pencil and waiting for a parent meeting, I try calling the father of the student who was so rude during second period. His is the only contact we have listed. The first number is out of service, but the second number puts me through. Dad tells me his son no longer lives with him, and that he rarely sees him. He gives me Mom's number. I relay the story again to the student's mother, who responds, "Yeah, he doesn't really like plays." Upon my pointing out that, regardless of how much he does or doesn't like a subject, this is not an acceptable way to address a teacher, she begrudgingly agrees to talk with him when he gets home.

Classroom behavior will not improve until the teacher has the authority to dismiss students who are disruptive. The teacher needs her authority reinforced by the principal and school board and disruptive children shouldn't be allowed inside the school building.

I'm not denying such days occur (all too often), but why is she just getting ready at 7:00am when school starts at 8:30am (and she has to ride the subway to get to school)? Could've downloaded the vide the night before. Assuming the subway takes half the time to get her to work as it did that particular afternoon, and say she left home at 7:30, that'd put her at school around 8:15. So she's one of those teachers who wait until the last minute to run copies, then is probably one of the first to complain when the copier is down. Why not make copies a day or two before? A solution to her lunch dilemma…eat food from the cafeteria at school! I suspect there are pre-made salad alternatives that would silence her hunger pangs. Why would she be receiving text messages and phone calls from students and parents. Personally, teaching at an inner-city school, I would have an unlisted number! I don't think I would ever take an inner-city teaching job because of the nightmare stories I've heard regarding administrators and violent student conduct. However, she must have chosen to do so for whatever reason. If it's that problematic, move to the suburbs or a rural district. Not all problems will disappear, but there are also plenty of lives to touch out there.

I have such admiration for teachers who are able to do this. My dad did it and loved it. It just takes a special type of person to cultivate relationships with these kids. Most of them test adults because adults have continuously failed them (in regards to stability).
In short, I WOULD recommend teaching to a kid if he had his heart set on it–inner city or otherwise–but I would remind this child that one can not save the world. And there is no sense in destroying yourself to save a failing system.
That's really the problem with teaching–you can't do it unless you love it with all your heart.Your heart can often blind you to just how bad it has gotten. It is never the KIDS that make teaching rough, or even the parents. It is a crumbling system that began with a beautiful notion, but has been bled to death and has now become harmful. A system that teaches kids to distrust or even hate learning.
So what is the alternative? Privatizations carries equity problems. Reform has a "burn the witch" mentality. Vouchers and School Choice raise the hackles of tax-payers, tax-payers who are already strapped and frustrated by the perceived lack of progress. On top of all of this, the system is bleeding to death from corruption and budget cuts. Death by a thousand paper cuts, if you will.
I hope one day the system will be better so that more teachers can go back to what they love–teaching.

Regarding my comment suggesting she move our of the inner-city school district…I guess she wouldn't have anything to write in her book. Once her book is published, then she'll probably flee.

I just read the entire diary link. It reminds me so much of a modern version of Bel Kaufman's classic "Up the Down Staircase" – which was also set in a New York City school. Every year just as summer break is ending, I re-read that book and realize that, no matter how bad my lot may be, it's nowhere near as bad as an inner-city school, and I thank God for my career and my students. (Even if my system still doesn't want me around.)

I am so glad you psted this for everyone to read. Days, weeks, and even months exist like this exsit in
all Georgia schools today. This teacher evidently knows what it takes to try and reach her students. It is a pity that the administration blames the teacher for a loud class, or just one student walking around the room. We had a principal one time (he was the best I ever worked for in my career). You were the head of your class and you had the control. If a child was sleeping in class, just let him sleep but at the end of class give him a zero in the grade book. .Then we had another principal, who was a joke, who said students can not sleep in class. Wake them up and make them learn. Well, the one student, could really destroy a class with his thought that a small nap was needed. What this principal did not realize this student was working from 4 PM until 1 AM to earn money to help his family and for his college. He always turned in great work and he knew what was going on in class — he was that smart. He was a great studnet not unrulely. Today, I know it is different. Many students are sleeping in class because they watch llate television or are out doing things (probably they should not be doing.) Teachers have got to understand their students and the community inshich they teach. Hats off to this teacher… this exdperience is making her a wonderful teacher for all students.

Jack, teachers fo have the righr to remove any disruptive student from the classroom. There is a law in education that states that no student can keep other students from learning. Maybe your principal or assistant principal needs a refresher course. They may have never had the first course on school law.
April 28th, 2012
8:06 am
@Jack — I LOVE "Up The Down Staircase" (which should be underlined but I don't know how to do that on this blog!) and have given it to my student teachers many times over the years. I recommend it to anyone thinking about a career in teaching, along with Teacher Man by Frank McCourt.
April 28th, 2012
8:17 am
Maureen: I think that this diary illustrates two of my immutable laws of the public schooling process: (1) The motivation to learn is a social process, and if a student is not motivated to learn, no teacher can make the student learn; and (2) You cannot have good learning conditions until you first have good teaching conditions, and you cannot have good teaching conditions if the student discipline is out of order. © JRAT

When the integration revolution started in the 50's, and right up thru today, we have constantly heard the mantra of civil rights. Civil rights has been dinned into our heads loudly and repeatedly for over 50 years by civil rights leaders. Unfortunately, these same leaders have said next to nothing about civil resposibilities. The fruits of this irresponsible and incompetent leadership are evident in many areas of our society, including the classroom.

Everyone has to complain about something. I have been in education for forty years, in elementary, middle and high shools, and no matter how "good" or "bad" the situation, some people will constantly harp. Others just forge ahead and do the job they are paid to do (and most of them do it darn well).

much as it pains me to agree with Boortz, credit's gotta be given where earned: in the inner city as a whole there is a pervasive culture of desired ignorance
(note: this occured some years ago, but I think the premise holds)
I asked one of our kids at GPC one time why "keepin' it real" is at odds with gaining a higher education?
the response was, edited for public viewing, Biggie didn't need no education. 2pac (sp?) didn't need no education.
when I pointed out both died young and violently, the response was
that's real.
after I picked my jaw up, I thought about it: its just a spin on the old James Dean "live fast, die hard, leave a good looking corpse" approach. kids have been this way for years. young, dumb, stupid, and not understanding the full impact of their actions.
what's different is us, the people who supposedly know better. back in the dark ages when society was less "enlightened", if we got too out of line society pushed us back in place.
today, we give them reality shows.

@God Bless the Teacher (7:40am): Did you read the entire diary or just the piece published here? If you had read the entire diary, you would realize that this teacher, like many of us, spends most of her evenings—and nights—working on plans, grades, and other school related tasks. She may sleep a little later than you approve or arrive a little later than you can tolerate, but she's there before her students have to be there and prepared when they get there. As for your criticism of her waiting to download the video clip in the morning instead of the night before, I have to wonder: Have you ever worked so long into the night to prepare for the next day that fatigue took over before you could get it all done?—for no compensation? (We're paid only for the contract time we spend on campus, not a minute more unless you count sick leave or personal days, and I know we're not the only professionals who enjoy the latter or suffer the former.)
Do you know for certain that she didn't already have everything but her copies prepared in advance? What if she had spent the night before creating those worksheets? Sometimes we revise our plans as we go along as we see the need or get better ideas, and sometimes something that happens in class inspires us to go home and create something new because we see a better way to meet our students' needs. Furthermore, when we're new at this job, we often spend all evening and into the night every night—and our weekends—creating, grading, and preparing for the next day, the next week, and the next crises. We sacrifice time with our spouses and even our own children. Do you? God bless you and them if you do.
This teacher has done nothing wrong, and if all you take from her diary is a criticism of the chronology of her day, her generosity, and her choice of workplace, then you have a narrow focus and can't possibly see the bigger issue that a diary like this reveals, and I have too many essays to grade to address that issue here and now.
One more thing, if you're serious in your suggestion that she eat the cafeteria food, then you must have forgotten what it's like.

One day those who don't want to learn will be in non-academic programs better designed for them and for the jobs they (hopefully) will fill in the world of work.

@Junk Monkey,
It appears you've never talked to a teacher working in Dekalb.
Maureen, I wish the AJC would investigate 1) discipline in DCSD and 2) the illogical dissasociation between student behavior and performance.
As someone who's experienced five different superintendents while working for the former DCSS and current DCSS (how I wish new titles, calendars, and job classifications really did impact the students positively), I-and my students-have suffered from the "call the parent" approach/mandate. And this approach is problematic for the following reasons:
1. It assumes that the student's behavior is anomalous, something he or she has rarely witnessed being performed by parent(s) or allowed to do in front of or to parent(s).
2. Is assumes that the parent(s) can actually control the child/young adult. Ask a high school teacher how many times he or she has been told "I don't know what to do," or "He doesn't listen to me, either."
3. It generates another task that takes away from the real purpose of the classroom: learning.
4. It belies the question: "Why do we have assistant principals of discipline?". If they're only task is to process referalls (that are currently completed and accessed on-line), then why aren't the "punishments" (Is in-school or out-of-school suspension really a punishment for a student who sees little value in the classroom experience or already doesn't want to be at school?) processed by a computer program.
5. Most important, it denies young adults who genuinely need to learn the value of respecting others and property, the life skill of remaining quite and listening, and the job skill of performing tsks that may be difficult or uninteresting.
How is that DCSD promotes "differentiated instruction" in the classroom, yet it ignores "differentiated instruction" in behavior? Why is it that with all these "specialists," "directors," and "managers," no one is able to come up with programs that would actually benefit all students-the ones needing behavioral intervention (not teacher phone calls) and the ones who already know how to behave in an academic classroom?

While I believe that either of my boys would make outstanding teachers, I would discourage that choice as strongly as I could because I love them and want them to be happy in their adult lives. Until the profession sees a substantial change in the organizational structure currently implemented, I don't see how things are going to get better. While the number of eggheads at the DOE continues to skyrocket (eggheads who are years removed from practical classroom experience) and the legislature continues gleefully cutting the education budget and willfully breaking the QBE law, teachers (you know, those of us who actually DO the work of educating kids) see our class sizes increase by 35-40% while watching our paychecks decrease; all the while reading about how lazy and worthless we are and watching the president and his joke of an education secretary celebrate when entire school staffs are fired. Yeah, great time to be a teacher!
April 28th, 2012
11:53 am
The teacher should be able to get up at any time she wants to. If she is late to school, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is if the students are on time. The teacher getting to school on time is just another bureaucratic overhead mess designed by bureaucratic administrative know–nothings who have never taught in a real school and know nothing about education. Only teachers know about education. They have education degress and those degreess are only earned by the smartest people in the world. Everyone knows that.
April 28th, 2012
11:57 am
No one should should encourage anyone to be a teacher. Encouraging someone to be a teacher in this day and age is just another bureaucratic bungling by teh know-nothings in the Board of Education who have never taught in the classroom and know nothing about education. On teachers know about education because they have education degrees, which are the hardest degrees in the whole world to get. Teachers are the smartest people in the world. Everyone knows that. another teacher correctly discouraged him from being a teacher because everyone knows Albert Einstein wasn't smart enough to be a teacher. Only superior human beings can be teachers and only other teachers could possiby know whos is qualified to teach.
Teachers Rule!

We need thousands more websites like this for teachers to use to tell everyone else all the problems that go on in the classroom. We need a law that cuts down classroom teaching time to give teachers more time to blog about how hard it is to be a teacher. We also need a law that requires all other professions to read all the blogs so that everyone is aware that teaching is the most difficult job in the entire world. We should never allow families who fathers and sons and brothers and daughters are in the Middle East stepping on IEDs to ever complain about the 120 degree heat and getting shot at because everyone knows the hardest job in the entire world is to be a teacher, especially in Georgia.

I support much of what this teacher writes,I only question the burden of downloading/showing a YouTube video. 1. Why has YouTube become such an important part of instruction (and believe me, it has)? 2. Did the teacher have the necessary rights to show this video to a classroom audience, or, as I suspect, have most classrooms discarded the idea of copywrited material? Personally, I want my kids book-educated by a trained person of the subject matter, not entertainment-industry-influenced-YouTube-babysitter educated.

Please understand: this is one day in the life of a teacher from one side of the job, only!
Teachers also must deal with idiotic "supervisors" to include department chairs, assistant principals, counselors, etc. These "superviors" are most often not selected because they are competent but rather because they are connected (they are best friends with the principal or whomever). Those people tend to make the job of a teacher MANY times worse. These idiots are in it for the power and that is all.
I've had a department chair 'write up' an excellent teacher (her kids always scored well on all tests) simply because that teacher did not post the GPS of the day on the board.
Are you kidding me?

As the current political theme decries the awful teachers, they are simply trying to pass the buck for their own failures. The difficult challenges that face many schools have not resulted from poor teaching, but from poor political leadership. Leadership that treats some of our neighborhoods as castaways. This will be further perpetuated when the state of Georgia is allowed to approve charter schools willy-nilly.
We have many teachers who bring life to their classes daily and do their best to work miracles in the lives of their students. These teachers do not need better evaluation instruments or high-stakes tests to grade them or their students.
Pity the politicians only want more of the same. They are the ones pushing the status quo. They are the ones sucking resources away from the schools that desperately need them. They are the ones trying to pin the blame on the teachers when they should be looking in the mirror.

@STAR Teacher…you're preaching to the choir. I have twenty years in, including 8 as an administrator before I chose to return to the classroom. Yes, I did work at school today (Saturday) from 7:00AM-3:30PM (and frequently on Saturdays). Yes, I usually work at school from 5:45AM until about 5:00PM every day trying to get all of my work done so I don't have to take it home with me, although I will be grading papers tomorrow (Sunday) for most of the day. My month of June will be spent in professional development opportunities to prepare for the CCGPS that starts rolling in next fall. Yes, I read the entire post. And no, I don't see anything wrong with cafeteria food. Considering the cost and the budget with which the cafeteria staff has to work, it's not that bad.

I agree that this post sounds a little whiny. Teaching is a very difficult job, but so are a lot of others and no one wants to hear our "sob stories". Clearly, it isn't working to continue to share them. Perhaps a different approach is needed – or no approach at all.
I I like what I do, and have no intention of leaving, but I also accept that there is a lot of our job that is just plain frustrating. Lack of adequate pay tops the list…but I bet many other professionals can say the same. It's the complete lack of respect that gets me.

North Atlanta Teacher. I liked your post. I agree with you that "this post sounds a little whiny" and I understand your feelings when you say that " it's the lack of respect that gets me."

I've gotten called lots of names this year. I know I'm not supposed to let it hurt me, but I'm not a robot. If your kid calls me a b!tch, it hurts. Period. Especially when the student has broken a rule(s, usually) and you are disciplining them. A modicum of respect, parents. If you would just teach them at home, I wouldn't hate your kid all year for being a d-bag.

@Sam: When a truly disrespectful student calls me a bitch, I consider the source. Also, when a 15 year old finds this acceptable behavior, the verbal assult has absolutely nothing to do with me and everything to do with them and the environment that fosters that ridiculous behavior. Why give them the satisfaction of taking it personally?
Of course we aren't robots, but the more we talk about our feelings getting hurt the less respect we will receive. Not right or fair but certainly the reality.
April 29th, 2012
5:14 pm
I guess I got moderated because I used b!tch without the exclamation point.
@Sam: I had another post to you that may or may not appear later. Basically, it's our job to be professionals when students are not acting appropriately. We signed on to work with children, children who come from homes that foster behaviors we cannot possibly imagine or condone. If a student feels it necessary to call me a b!tch, I consider the source. An angry, disrespectful (of me, any authority, and likely themselves, which is quite a burden for a kid) and very unhappy child…doesn't make it ok and it deserves to be addressed and handled, for sure. However, we haven't gotten anywhere attacking parents (and I use that term loosely for many) and we won't get anywhere doing so. In fact, it's only going to inflame the current problems further. So will calling a kid a d-bag on an education blog. Maybe they are, but it's not helping matters to call them out. Even anonymously. It's our job to be professional even when we don't want to. That means not taking things personally. I often think of EMT's responding to 911 calls. They have to help the patient, even when the person is combative and out of control. It's the job they signed on to do, regardless of the disrespect they receive – and it's a lot.
Our job is one of the most rewarding, but it's also one of the most devestating and draining. It's the nature of working with and caring for other human beings.

I've been thinking about why it is that so many non-teachers on this blog state that teacher-bloggers are "whiny" for relating difficulties they have while teaching (classroom discipline without any back-up from the administration, student disrespect and even attempted battery of the teacher, indifference from parents, and so on). North School Parents, your 3:48 pm post is only one of many here. "Whine" is used so often.
"Whine" means "to complain in a childish, annoying way," akin to the child who nags a parent by pulling on the sleeve for attention. I don't think that is really accurate here. It's more that the teachers are commiserating with one another about conditions not in their power to change. It can be consoling to know that you're not alone. Non-teachers, you're simply being allowed to eavesdrop.
When northatlantateacher writes: "It's the complete lack of respect that gets me," that is not whining. That's asking for one's humanity to be acknowledged.

@Prof: I agree with everything you say. However, to publicly commiserate with other teachers is like leaving the faculty workroom door open. Everyone in any job vents. They just don't do it online, and if they do, don't act surprised when everyone doesn't automatically support it.

Maybe if teachers weren't attacked so often, they wouldn't feel the need to defend themselves by "whining." If someone tells me I am nothing more than a lazy, greedy, babysitter, I am going to feel compelled to set them straight. After all, keeping my mouth shut, simply enduring, doing my job and refraining from complaining for all these years has gotten me bumpkis – in fact, the lack of respect has gotten even worse.
Thanks to the attack on anything to do with "unions" (which seems to translate to all teachers, unionized or not), the media's focus on any sensational case involving a teacher they can latch onto, the desire to scapegoat teachers for all problems facing education rather than addressing the much more complex underlying societal problems, the influx of big money and big money influence into education, and the growing lack of respect for education, teachers have become an easy target for the public's frustration and fears. I believe there is a deliberate and planned attack on public education going on in this country. The question is, who stands to benefit? I will continue do my job to the best of my ability, but no longer will I sit back and let others spread lies and disinformation without speaking up. Call it whining if you will, but I am not going down without a fight! I care too much about what is best for my students and my profession.

@ northatlantateacher. But this blog is termed "About Get Schooled. Your source to discuss and learn about education in Georgia and the nation"! So online complaining is encouraged. And to tell you the truth, I think "learning about education" should involve the non-teacher learning about how it's different now from 15 years ago or whenever the reader last went to school.
For I do believe that the problems K-12 teachers have encountered since 2001 when the NCLB Act went into effect, and 2004 when IDEA was passed by Congress, are just drastically different from those before. And the general public really needs to know that. This is not venting…. more like combat training before going overseas.

@Prof: I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't read the descriptor of this blog and think that online complaining is encouraged. I don't expect that anyone is ever going to understand the complexities of education today through teachers complaining on a blog. Instead, they will look at that complaining as validation for all of their incorrect assumptions about public education.
I see your point and completely agree that things are very different than they were 15 years ago. The general public doesn't care about that. They want things done the way they've always been and they don't want to hear any excuses…no matter how valid and important they may be. How to change that? I have no idea. I had high hopes that a new administration would breathe new life in to public education, but things will only be worse with Common Core/Race to the Top.
April 29th, 2012

@ northatlantateacher. Well, to quote old Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, who in turn took the idea from Sun Tzu of the 5th Century BC– "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."
Before I started reading "Get Schooled" a year ago, I had no idea of how public K-12 education has changed since my child went to school in the 1980s…..
April 29th, 2012
9:04 pm
Prof, you said " But this blog is termed "About Get Schooled. Your source to discuss and learn about education in Georgia and the nation"! So online complaining is encouraged. "
I don't equate "discuss" and "learn" with "complain."
Complaining is not discussing and learning. It's just annoying and off-putting. The assumption that others are "allowed to eavesdrop," is also far-fetched. Teachers are only part of the school. Parents and students are a big part of the school, students being the primary focus. So to say that "others" are allowed to eavesdrop is saying that Get Schooled is for teachers only and others have no right to be here. They are only "allowed."
I don't think that's the case at all.
I sincerely wish the tone of the Get Schooled blog was about sharing ideas instead of trading teacher war stories.
April 29th, 2012
9:29 pm
@ Northern School Parents.
As I know only too well since my field is full of scholars very fond of theories, unfortunately "ideas" are theoretical and abstract, but it's putting them into practice that's the untidy part.
I can only speak for myself when I say that the "teacher war stories" on this blog have taught me quite a bit about the students who do finally wind up in my classes; and if I were the parent of a student still in public K-12, I would be very glad to hear the other point of view from my child's….as well as what the other students are like that shape my child's classroom experience.
And if I were fortunate enough to live in a "good" school district, then I would want to learn about the others that aren't.

Cards' Mendenhall slated to return
Tempe, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - The Arizona Cardinals have listed running back Rashard Mendenhall as probable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans as the team comes off its Week 9 bye.
Mendenhall was inactive for Arizona's 27-13 win over Atlanta on Oct. 27 due to a sprained toe. In his absence, rookie Andre Ellington rushed for a career- high 154 yards and a touchdown on just 15 carries.
Tight end Rob Housler, meanwhile, is a question mark for Sunday's clash after injuring his groin during the week. The third-year pro has 14 catches totaling 135 yards in six games this season.
Defensive end Frostee Rucker (calf) and offensive tackle Bradley Sowell (illness) have also been termed questionable to face the Texans, while reserve wide receiver Brittan Golden (hamstring) has been ruled out of the contest.
Inside linebacker Daryl Washington (illness) and pass rushers John Abraham (shoulder) and Matt Shaughnessy (knee) are all expected to play.

Nail Yakupov and his Neftekhimik team are back on the ice today against Slovan. Yak's impressive start goes beyond the 3GF in 4GP.
Slovan is Bratislava, a legendary team in Slovakia that has been producing talent forever. Vaclav Nedomansky played for them in the mid-60s, Miro Satan plays for them today.
Yakupov has an interesting stat beyond the 3 goals in 4 games, and that is his shot total. With 14 shots in 4gp, the kid is clearly getting into areas where shooting the puck is an option. The KHL plays 54 games–or at least they did last season–and at this rate Yak will have about 190 shots on goal over a full season. Now he won't get there due to games missed already, but that shot total puts him in a very good range (189 shots over 54 games). Taylor Hall's 207 shots in 61 games last season is a good comp, although at a higher level.
Anyway, watching these #1 overall picks is a hoot. Beyond getting hurt, it's an absolute treat to cheer for elite talent. I think we'd forgotten that in Oilerville before Taylor Hall came along.
Farjestad also play today, against Timra. Although Oscar Klefbom's injury sounds like it is day-to-day, I'd be surprised if he dressed in a game before the weekend.

Former Memphis Police Officer Alex Beard agreed to a plea deal in court Tuesday and was sentenced to six months in jail and six years probation for his role in an August 2012 double fatal traffic crash while he was on duty.But the family of the victims who were present for the Shelby County Criminal Court hearing are not satisfied with the time he'll serve.Beard was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and three counts of aggravated assault stemming from the Aug. 26, 2012 fatal crash at the intersection of E. H. Crump Boulevard and Walnut Street that killed 14-year-old Mackala Epps and Delores Epps, 53.Beard, though, never turned on his siren nor emergency lights before the deadly crash.It's said "revenge is a dish that's best served cold." But, in a court of law where feelings and emotions can be extremely high, "revenge" can run "white-hot" with anger for the families of those who are victimized by the loss of loved ones.
An hour before it was officially announced in the courtroom, the facial expressions of disgust and frustration were visible through the glass partition as Prosecutor Billy Bond explained to the family and friends of Michael Ross the bewildering direction justice would take on this day in Shelby county. Unfortunately, his words only served to ignite their previously pent up rage."Six months? Six months for killing my whole entire family?," Ross exclaimed. "This ain't no kind of justice. This is injustice!""A person kills a dog got more time than that," said Sherry Farmer, Ross' family friend. "I just don't see it. I don't see the system as being right and fair."
By the time Beard faced Criminal Court Judge Bobby Carter, the tweet world had long since trumped the outcome. Beard's attorney, Leslie Ballin and Prosecutor Bond announced a settlement had been reached allowing Beard to plead guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide and two counts of reckless aggravated assault, which led to the deaths of a teenager and her mother.
While on duty, Beard driving a marked police car with no siren or emergency lights on, rammed into the side of the vehicle carrying the victims and two other passengers. The data box inside the police cruiser clocked Beard driving at a speed of 94 miles per hour just five seconds before impact, 54 miles over the posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour at the intersection of Walnut and Crump. Beard said at the time he was responding to a call from assistance from a fellow officer. In accepting a plea deal Beard faced a six year sentence that was reduced to six months in jail. After doing all of his time he will be placed on six years probation. For attorneys in the case the settlement appeared to be a glass half empty, glass half full scenario."The sign of a good resolution is that neither side is totally satisfied with the result," Ballin said."If I were in their situation, I wouldn't think that it was justice either," Bond said. "But, under the law I think this the best resolution we could reach."However, the embittered Ross family felt the word "resolution" was nothing less than prosecutorial betrayal to the memories of those they had lost."It's Amy Warrick (sic)! She's the D.A. She's calling the shots!," a frustrated Ross said. "She's calling the shots! She's letting this man walk away for killing a family. That's who's doing it!"
Beard will return and surrender himself to the county criminal court and go straight to jail Sept. 17.

Rubella: Make Sure Your Child Gets Vaccinated »
"Rubella is usually mild in children. But for some peopleâ"especially pregnant women and their babiesâ"rubella can be serious. Make sure you and your child are protected from rubella by getting vaccinated on schedule.
Rubella Facts
Read the Rubella: Make Sure Your Child Gets Vaccinated article »
BOOSTRIX is available in vials and 2 types of prefilled syringes. One type of prefilled syringe has a tip cap which may contain natural rubber latex and a plunger which does not contain latex. The other type has a tip cap and a rubber plunger which contain dry natural latex rubber. Use of these syringes may cause allergic reactions in latex-sensitive individuals. The vial stopper does not contain latex. [See HOW SUPLIED, Storage and Handling.]
Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Brachial Neuritis
If Guillain-Barre syndrome occurred within 6 weeks of receipt of a prior vaccine containing tetanus toxoid, the risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome may be increased following a subsequent dose of tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine, including BOOSTRIX. A review by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found evidence for a causal relationship between receipt of tetanus toxoid and both brachial neuritis and Guillain-Barre syndrome.1
Progressive or Unstable Neurologic Disorders
Progressive or unstable neurologic conditions (e.g., cerebrovascular events and acute encephalopathic conditions) are reasons to defer vaccination with a pertussis-containing vaccine, including BOOSTRIX. It is not known whether administration of BOOSTRIX to persons with an unstable or progressive neurologic disorder might hasten manifestations of the disorder or affect the prognosis. Administration of BOOSTRIX to persons with an unstable or progressive neurologic disorder may result in diagnostic confusion between manifestations of the underlying illness and possible adverse effects of vaccination.
Arthus-Type Hypersensitivity
Persons who experienced an Arthus-type hypersensitivity reaction following a prior dose of a tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine usually have a high serum tetanus antitoxin level and should not receive BOOSTRIX or other tetanus toxoid-containing vaccines unless at least 10 years have elapsed since the last dose of tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine.
Altered Immunocompetence
As with any vaccine, if administered to immunosuppressed persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, the expected immune response may not be obtained.
Prevention and Management of Acute Allergic Reactions
Prior to administration, the healthcare provider should review the immunization history for possible vaccine sensitivity and previous vaccination-related adverse reactions to allow an assessment of benefits and risks. Epinephrine and other appropriate agents used for the control of immediate allergic reactions must be immediately available should an acute anaphylactic reaction occur.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
BOOSTRIX has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy Category C
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with BOOSTRIX. It is also not known whether BOOSTRIX can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. BOOSTRIX should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Animal fertility studies have not been conducted with BOOSTRIX. In a developmental toxicity study, the effect of BOOSTRIX on embryo-fetal and pre-weaning development was evaluated in pregnant rats. Animals were administered INFANRIX prior to gestation and BOOSTRIX during the period of organogenesis (gestation days 6, 8, 11) and later in pregnancy (gestation day 15), 0.1 mL/rat/occasion (a 45-fold increase compared with the human dose of BOOSTRIX on a body weight basis), by intramuscular injection. No adverse effect on pregnancy and lactation parameters, embryo-fetal or pre-weaning development was observed. There were no fetal malformations or other evidence of teratogenesis noted in this study.
Pregnancy Registry: GlaxoSmithKline maintains a surveillance registry to collect data on pregnancy outcomes and newborn health status outcomes following vaccination with BOOSTRIX during pregnancy. Women who receive BOOSTRIX during pregnancy should be encouraged to contact GlaxoSmithKline directly or their healthcare provider should contact GlaxoSmithKline by calling 1-888-452-9622.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether BOOSTRIX is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when BOOSTRIX is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
BOOSTRIX is not indicated for use in children younger than 10 years of age. Safety and effectiveness of BOOSTRIX in this age group have not been established.
Geriatric Use
In clinical trials, 1,104 subjects 65 years of age and older received BOOSTRIX; of these subjects, 299 were 75 years of age and older. In the US elderly (65 years and older) study, immune responses to tetanus and diphtheria toxoids following BOOSTRIX were non-inferior to the comparator Td vaccine. Antibody responses to pertussis antigens following a single dose of BOOSTRIX in the elderly were non-inferior to those observed with INFANRIX administered as a 3-dose series in infants [see Clinical Studies]. Solicited adverse events following BOOSTRIX were similar in frequency to those reported with the comparator Td vaccine [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].

A cab driver tells JThom about the one night he got "a double".
Double = A good night
Recently, I had a heart-to-heart with my friend about how he is spiraling out of control with his sex addiction. My friend - who will remain unnamed - is so obsessed with the sex act that he insists on sleeping with his penis in a vat of marmalade so that if he has any sort of a wet dream, he wont have to change his boxers upon waking. Whats so interesting about his addiction in particular is how over-the-top fugly he is and how his face resembles a manhole cover in all the wrong ways. If you could imagine Rosie O'Donnels asshole, except with a crew cut and sideburns, you would have an accurate idea of what he looks like physically. He gets zero ass, wanks it at least 13.5 times before the sun rises, and eats either an adopted kitten or a segmented section of carpet a day so he can brag about how he munched rug and/or pussy. Whats even more disturbing is how often he check marks inside of his own asshole. He has somehow figured out a way to manipulate his Hock & Balls so that they do a 180 degree turn. I have walked in on him several times in the self-fuck position, and when he gets drunk I hear heavy slurping noises coming from his bedroom, the source of which I can only assume is him self-sucking, or solo-necking, his own heavy hocker. The local animal adoption agency has started to ban him from their premises, and Home Depot recently put a warrant out for his arrest after they discovered him making a thanksgiving dinner out of a 20 by 30 section of sequin-patterned carpet.

Tiny Gallon, Thanasis Antetokounmpo and more D-League chatter
Category: Fringe Players
We had the chance recently to exchange e-mails with Gino Pilato, purveyor of veteran TrueHoop Network blog D-League Digest. Right now, the Bucks have no available roster spots and a roster that's already crowded with players clamoring for more minutes. But a 2-for-1 trade or some other sort of trade that could open up a roster spot or two in February certainly isn't out of the question. Very little is out of the question with this season's Bucks team.
So we chatted with Gino about some of the D-League's most interesting players and some old faces that have resurfaced.
Q: The Bucks are in need of help everywhere, but have a glut of big men, so theoretically would be more interested in point guard, shooting guard, small forward types. Who has stood out to you at each of those positions this season?
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com if you must use e-mail.

Poor Ron Howard. Hope he gets to play in 1 NBA game before he hangs up the shoes… he's a great guy. He's already 31, so signing a younger project might be a better idea.
And Pierre Jackson is intriguing. I remember him from the 2012 tournament in Baylor's elite 8 run… him and Brady Heslip in the backcourt were fun to watch. But I feel like the Bucks have tried the undersized PG thing many times before.
I don't really see the Bucks signing any D-League players, but wouldn't be surprised if one gets included in a lopsided trade, etc.
Id like to see what Tiny Gallon could do on the block for the Bucks. a 10 day contract wouldnt hurt. He has more bulk than Henson, more athleticism than Zaza and Miroslav
Thanks, Jeremy, for the D-League Digest; it's very much appreciated.
I know the chances of finding a significant player in the D-League are not great, actually not good, but it seems worthwhile to keep an eye on it, and possibly to try a guy from time to time — especially because the cost for such a player would be minimal.
For those of us who like clearance sales, or thrift stores, or "American Pickers," it's fun to try to make a big find in an unexpected place, proving the experts wrong by finding a treasure who is obscure and overlooked, perhaps a late-bloomer. (I noticed in passing that recent D-Leaguer Manny Harris had a nice scoring game recently for the Lakers.)
I'd like the Bucks to consider Scott Suggs because he has good size at six-six and seems to be able to score from anywhere on the floor, inside and out, including about 44% from three. In the summer league against the Lakers, I saw him make a couple of nice contested jumpshots off the dribble. If he's a good guy, as he seems to be, he might be worth a look.
If not, it'd be fun to try someone else, in place of an apathetic veteran — perhaps at point guard. It would be great to get a guy who can score, but seems to prefer passing. Plus, it's been shown that a Jason Kidd, a Rajon Rondo, perhaps a Kendall Marshall, can improve as a shooter. We could also trade for a point guard already in the NBA, perhaps with the two-for-one you mentioned, dealing a couple of our vets and/or maybe a draft pick in 2015 or 2016 (depending on who we received in return).
I'm also wondering if we can get a roster spot for the injured Carlos. Anyway, in the future, it might be good for the Bucks to allow for more flexibility on their roster.
Whatever happens — and whether or not I'm more or less crazy with my interest in the D-League — thanks again, Jeremy, for advancing the discussion.
fwiw http://www.nba.com/summerleague/2013/statistics/las_vegas/index.html
Suggs shot 34.8% although I do agree with what you're saying re younger guys, and I think they do that next year if it's a true rebuild
In D-League, though, Suggsy is shooting about 49% overall and about 44% from the arc. He didn't get many minutes with the Bucks in summer league. I call him Suggsy since we're such good buddies.

Hilary Swank, soon to be seen playing Amelia Earhart in "Amelia", says she has no problem with nudity. Read more of what Hilary told Marie Claire magazine below.
Hilary Swank sat down with Marie Claire Magazine's Joanna Coles for their November issue.
Hilary had a rather "revealing" interview and told of how she likes to sleep in the buff.
JC: What do you sleep in?
HS: I don't sleep in anything. Do you sleep in a nightgown?
JC: I sleep in pj's. I have two young sons, so I have to be conscious of that.
HS: Well, my boyfriend's son is 6 years old, and you wonder at what age you should stop walking around nude. Every morning he comes into the bedroom, and you're just nude. But he doesn't look twice; he doesn't think about it yet. I just toss and turn too much when I sleep, and if I'm in clothes, I get all twisted up.
Hilary Swank is divorced from Chad Lowe and is now dating Jon Campisi, a Hollywood agent.

The LEDs in "LED TVs" come in several different configurations, and some are better than others.
LG's range of televisions will be dominated by LED-backlighting LCDs and features like voice recognition and 3D, while only three models will boast plasma technology.
Samsung's UNB8000 series is the company's top-of-the-line LCD at CES 2009, with LED backlighting, 240HZ, and interactive widget-based content.
With claims of 40% energy savings of traditional LCDs, Samsung's UNB6000 series of "eco-friendly" LCDs follow in the trend of low power consumption HDTVs.
The new iPad has twice as many LEDs as the iPad 2, which means more heat from those LEDs and from the battery, a display expert tells CNET.
The Samsung UNES8000 series, the company's flagship model of LED-based LCD TV, delivers the company's best range of features in an LED TV, although it still doesn't have a full-array LED backlight.
The Antec "soundscience bias lighting halo 6 LED kit" (phew!) lights up your life, or at least the back of your desktop monitor. It's intended to ease eye fatigue, but could find a home in maker projects.
LG fleshes out details regarding its new line of LED-based LCDs, which feature improved local-dimming backlights.
We loved Philips' 21:9 set -- now its 2010 successor has arrived, and it should be an even more impressive piece of tech. We take a look in this lovingly crafted photo gallery.

This is based on a comic series I did when I was 11. It was the first comic I ever finished so it is very close to me, and I intend on adapting the entire series as an animated cartoon series. This cartoon is a traditional animation as all of my cartoons, hand drawn and animated, pen and paper. Special thanks to my buddies Xavier, Jim, and Anna for singing the intro song (extra thanks to Jim for that extra "Apple" at the end).

After quickly but carefully patching up Franks hands with butterfly stitches I fetched coffee from the kitchen, glad to get away from that blood. Bob jumped as I walked in, he was in deep conversation with someone on his phone
'uh, I'll talk to you later mate. Okay. Bye' he hung up his phone all innocently so I eyed him suspiciously, watching him over my shoulder as I walked slowly to the kettle on the other side of the kitchen.
'whooo was thaaat?' I asked in a sickly sweet voice, fluttering my eyelashes and smiling what was probably a very creepy smile at Bobbert.
'noooo onneee' he answered in the same tone. 'just an old friend is all' he said shrugging. Nodding at him, I thought nothing more of it and turned back to the kettle, pouring the liquid into the coffee mugs, the smell of the stuff lingering in my nose.
I toot the yummy stuff back through to the living room, awkwardly realising frank can't take the cup for himself. I placed them on the floor by his chair and fetched a mini table thingy from the side of the couch where the arch is, and carefully put it over the steaming mugs. I grabbed them from underneath and placed them back on top. Frank smiled and gently took the mug with his fingertips and took a tiny sip, he then held it in between his thighs so he didn't have to hold it and hurt his hands.
'uh I think we should get you to hospital for your face.' I spoke, bringing the coffee mug up to my lips.
'Am I really that ugly?' Frank asked, an eyebrow raised.
'For the burn you Muppet!' I said, rolling my eyes. I sat down in the loveseat before he spoke again.
'I'm not going to the hospital.' He simply said, and I didn't argue. I know the feeling, it's all too familiar. I don't want to go in there either, I hate hospitals with a passion.
'Thank god.' I whispered, but not quiet enough. Frank turned his head towards me.
'What do you mean?' I hesitated before answering
'I hate hospitals. Especially this one, I was like a regular customer there. they all hate me.' I said, shaking my head. Why wouldn't they hate me? everybody should.
'Ah, I know the feeling.' I looked up into his eyes. So he genuinely knew what I felt back then or does he just feel sorry for me? He gave me a reassuring smile and took another sip from the coffee mug, then he put it back onto the mini table beside him.
A silence filled the room. It wasn't exactly awkward, but it wasn't comfortable either. I just sat and stared at frank, it sounded creepy, but I had an excuse. I could say I was looking at his tattoo's. as I thought of that I found myself examining his inked skin, concentrating on his hands. He had a semi circle above the web part of both hands. One was a spider web that read 'hopeless' above and the other was blocked black witch had 'romantic' over the top, both in a strange font. He then had letters across his knuckles in a black and orange creepy font that I couldn't quite make out.
'What does that tattoo say?' I asked, trying to read the lettering that stained his pale skin.
'Hu? Oh, it says Halloween.' He replied, holding up his knuckles in front of his face without clenching his fists too much. I read the letters to myself and nodded.
'Why do you have it?' it was a rather strange thing to have tattooed across your hands.
'I was born on Halloween, pretty rad right?' he nodded his head at his own radness and admired the tattoo.
'Yeah it's my favourite holiday' I said, it really is an awesome holiday. Must be a great day to have your birthday on. Frank nodded in agreement
'Yeah me too' he smiled excitedly at me, he's cheered up a lot since he got back.
It felt so amazing just to play again, everything just left me and I felt so happy in that room. I shut the door quietly behind me, sighing as it clicked into place. I could hear people talking as I walked down the stairs and I guessed frank was back or something. There was a weird smell in the air, like chemicals and alcohol. i walked into the open living room door and sat next to gee on the loveseat, stealing the coffee out of his hands.
Frank was sat in the middle of the living room, facing the fireplace, shirtless. Riiight. He looked around when I sat down and waved to me. his hands where stitched up with butterfly stitches and his face was bloody and cut up. I was sure I looked like a complete prick right now, moth hanging open and all.
'Dude. Shut your mouth' Gee proved me right by pushing my chin back to normal by his fingertips.
'Uh, sorry. Frank..what happened?' I asked, I was amazed, someone did this to him. But who would do this to a human being. Let alone Frank.
'My girlfriend.' He spoke through his teeth, eyes unfocused and glazed. He obviously didn't want to talk about it.
I drunk the rest of gees coffee, so I had to make him a new one. I ruffled Franks hair when I walked past and opened the door to the kitchen. Bob was sat on the sidetop texting, his thumbs blurring with the speed. I clicked the kettle on to boil and spun on my heel to lean against the side.
'Yo Raymond. I was thinking about getting an old friend over here soon.'
cliffhangerishhh duh duh duhhhh!!!! so was it alright? should i give up? carry on? you tell me cause i have no clue. let me know guys and i hope i kinda made up for me being gone for so long Dx

Early in the 20th century, Robert McClure Snyder – a wealthy businessman from St. Louis and Kansas City – had a wonderful idea. After exploring the area near Camdenton, Missouri, he stated: "Here I will spend my leisure, secure from the worries of business and the excitement of city life. I will fish and loaf and explore the caves of these hills, with no fear of intrusion." How many of us have similar dreams?
With his vacation and retirement home in mind, Snyder bought approximately 5,400 acres of land overlooking waterfalls and a river valley. In 1905, he began building a mansion on a bluff that had a clear view for miles.
It's odd that the very thing that drew me to the ruins of that mansion (the Castle at Ha Ha Tonka State Park near Lake of the Ozarks) was the instrument of Snyder's untimely death only a year after starting construction – travel in an automobile. By attending the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood event south of the park for a number of years, I've enjoyed driving on the roads off the interstate in that area so much that I asked someone more familiar with the area to direct me to other fun-to-drive roads and points of interest. That's how I (figuratively) met millionaire industrialist Robert McClure Snyder.

There are classic wedding colors, but every year, you are sure to get a couple of colors that stand out as especially trendy for brides and their gowns. This year, there are many colors that can help make your wedding a gorgeous, trendy and fun party that you dream of having. Liven up the atmosphere and shine with these colors in the wedding that everyone will talk about!
Navy Blue
Navy blue is making a big comeback into the wedding industry, and that is especially true of summer, fall and winter weddings that are letting themselves be inspired by the water. Navy Blue is an especially fun color, because it allows you to pair it up with a bold and beautiful color, like lime or coral, all of which adds that sense of adventure to your dresses. Speaking of which …
Coral is making a play for inspiration all on its own. This beautiful bright color is amazing in spring and summer weddings, allowing you to stay on point with the light pinks that have been trendy for the last couple of years, while adding a little bit of pizzazz to your outfits. Coral is a gorgeous color to style with flowers in Fleurings wearable vase earrings, hairpieces and necklaces. Build your wedding around this color and you will have all of your guests amazed at the romantic look and feel of your wedding, while still knowing that this is a fun atmosphere.
This bold color is a combination of green, blue and awesomeness. Teal is a color that is perfectly paired up with muted colors, like greys and beiges, while still having a little something in it that makes it fun while accessories such as flowers in vase hair pieces can add to the appeal. Can you imagine how beautiful your bridesmaids would look in a flattering teal color with a little bit of shine to their dresses? Take advantage of the trend, and use this color to its full potential.
A pink gold finish as shown below makes a beautiful accent color against a Teal dress, wear pink, white or yellow flowers ideally.
If you're having a fall or winter wedding, this deep red color is classy and muted, and perfectly on point if it's the star of the show surrounded by greys, blacks and whites. It also gives you a lot of opportunity to bring out some beautiful red tints in the various décor that you will have around your wedding. Make your bouquets look incredible with gorgeous, natural flowers that stand out with burgundy.
Some small phalaenopsis orchids come in Burgundy and will match well with pink or yellow gold necklace.
Dendrobium orchids also come in a rich burgundy and dark purple to go well with your Fleurings vase earrings.
A simple white orchid flower always looks nice in contrast to a dark burgundy dress.
Pink and Purple
Ever popular, muted pinks and daring purples make a great palette to consider when thinking about your wedding colors. Add flowers like tulips and roses in Fleurings' wearable vases to the occasion for that dash of exuberance. They're classic, and while they've been trendy for a couple of years, they still manage to look fresh and fun, adding that zest to your wedding dresses. They can also be adapted into the wedding theme that you are planning easily.
Fashionable brides have so many options at their disposal; from décor to dresses, flowers to accessories, that they are sure to find inspiration from the fashionable colors and manage to make it their own. Wearable vase necklaces, earrings and hair pieces from Fleurings make complementing your wedding with colorful flowers so much easier. No matter the color that you decide on, you'll be sure that if you choose it, it will be the right color.

If you are feeling extra "in the mood" for wearing fresh flowers and you want to wear Fleurings vase earrings and a vase necklace at the same time, then one of the best things to do is match flowers in your earrings to the flower in your necklace. See below we used light green dendrobium orchid flowers to accent the dark green color of the top our model is wearing. Shop these polished gold earrings here and the gold necklace here. These pieces are 14 karat gold dipped stainless steel.
Pro-Surfer and rip curl girl Bethany Hamilton has been wearing our Fleurings small vase necklace everywhere! See this beautiful pic of her wearing a little white flower in her necklace. So lovely!
We are so very pleased with this lovely new shoot by Rachael Dickshute blogger and fashion pro who just posted these pics and more on her website Everything Hauler. She is wearing Fleurings vase jewelry with fresh pink roses to add just a pop of color and a soft feminine finish to this edgy black and white suit. Very sophisticated and stylish.
I feel very lucky to have had so much support in my life to bring Fleurings to fruition. People who you know will often support you and the things you do but it's another story when your community at large supports and recognizes you. This was just the case with the La Quinta Life Magazine Cover Story. This article was a huge honor for me. I'm so very grateful that the Fleurings concept of flower holding jewelry has generated that sense of pride from my community. Enough to make it a cover story.
La Quinta is one of my hometowns. I've spent time there, going to high school, and doing all sorts of fun artistic endeavors : photoshoots for Fleurings, painting, art shows, and also did some acting work there in a movie call "Shoot the Hero!". I've spent plenty of time just vacationing, going to Coachella, having pool time and playing in the desert as we all do! The desert will always be a relaxing, rejuvenating place for me and a very supportive community in my life. It's one of those places that will always feel like "home" in my heart.
My mother Denise DuBarry has been a huge inspiration, source and mentor. She has always told me to ask questions from everyone to find what is the right answer for me, and to generally 'stick to it' and 'get things done'! There's a lot more she and many others have helped me with along the way but it's too much to mention! So, in closing I thank my mom for the energy and inspiration she has given me for this jewelry business. I thank editor Kathy Strong and writer Gary Jordan for the amazing job they did with this interview and article. I love it. Thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way. This feature was milestone for me and my company inside and outside of my community as well. Thank you!
