MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board will pick a new chairman Monday.
The six retired judges on the panel will take part in a teleconference, in which new officers will be picked in a random drawing.
Current chairman David Deininger pulled his own name out of a glass bowl a year ago. Board director Kevin Kennedy will conduct the drawing this time.
Also, the Board is expected to certify 5 statewide candidates for the spring ballot – Vince Megna, Ed Fallone, and incumbent Pat Roggensack for State Supreme Court – and Don Pridemore and incumbent Tony Evers for state school superintendent.

The third round in the 2002 NHRA Sport Compact Drag Racing Series brought racers and fans alike to Atco, N.J. on May 18th and 19th for what may have been the most competitive and entertaining day in the history of the sport.
The 2002 season has had a lot of close races, but never before has every class served up door handle-to-door handle racing like this. The level of competition at the Lucas Oil Products NHRA Sport Compact Nationals presented by Smirnoff Ice is truly a testament to the growth of the sport; not only are racers building more reliable and more powerful cars in the upper classes, driving skills are improving.
All MotorThis class could possibly be the hardest in which to do well. Going fast is not a matter of turning up the wick and watching the boost gauge run higher. There is much more finesse involved; every little bit of horsepower gained could be the difference between advancing and loading up on the trailer.
First round action pitted Ken Scheepers and his old-school '79 RX-7 against Larry Kelley and his '69 VW Fastback. Kelley was having engine problems in qualifying, but limped his car to the line and even managed to get a head start on Scheepers. But it was Scheepers that would move to the semi-final as Kelley was forced to shut his car down when the engine let go.
Jesus Padilla and his tubbed-out '85 RX-7 was matched against Charles Lore and his '92 Honda Civic. This turned out to be a no-brainer for Padilla, not only did he smoke Lore off the line, he was also over two seconds faster at the finish. Padilla finished in 10.558 sec at 127 mph to Lore's 12.651 at 82 mph.
The Skunk2 Integra has been dusted off and brought out of retirement for 2002 and in the first two events proved the Integra and driver Tony Shagday were still a force. In the first round, Angel Valentin and his '85 RX-7 were able to get a small lead off the line over Shagday, but engine problems ensued and Valentin dropped off and Shagday motored into the semis.
The final run in the first round was a little comical, but easily understood. Tom Fujita driving his '87 Civic went against Jeremy Allen and his '92 Civic. Inexperience and adrenaline seemed to get the best of Fujita though. As Fujita was lining up to stage, Allen had already rolled into the first beam. Apparently, Fujita wanted to win really badly; he rolled through the lights without staging and took off, forgeting the staging rules. Allen's adrenaline must have been surging as well, he decided to give chase. Allen at least waited to see the first yellow light though, and a red light beats a "no stage."
It seems Shagday would have it easy for most of the day, but that doesn't mean he didn't go out and run some great numbers. What could have been a close match for both Shagday and Scheepers became a walk in the park for the Skunk2 Acura. Scheepers entered the first staging beam setting his car up for a hard launch, but problems ensued and Scheepers rolled through the lights. Rules dictate you cannot back the car up to try again. The light turned green for Shagday, who ran a 10.761 at 123 mph moving him into the finals.

Dividend Growth From The Web
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There's a misconception that growing technology companies don't pay dividends. This goes double for Internet related tech companies. However, this isn't necessarily the case, and a little research can lead to some interesting diamonds in the rough. IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI) is one such diamond.
Big Words from the Head Honcho
In late 2011, IAC's Chairman released an interesting statement along with the company's third quarter results:
"I think it's an outdated and somewhat inane concept that high growth companies shouldn't pay dividends. We've been growing our earnings consistently, have substantially no debt, and large reserves of cash. We should be and are committed to investing in our businesses wherever prudent, and returning a portion of the balance to our shareholders, in continued opportunistic purchases of the stock (we've bought in 42% of the Company's shares over the last 3 years) and now, in paying a quarterly dividend."
Now that's the kind of thing a dividend investor wants to hear! Even better, the company doubled the quarterly disbursement to $0.24 per share in late 2012. While words can be just that, the company's actions also make it clear that dividends are an important part of the business model.
Dividend focused investors looking for a way to benefit from the growth of the Internet should take the time to look at this obscure company, no matter the stigma attached to a dividend paying technology company.
The Dividend Stigma
Most investors think of technology as a high growth sector, where only slow growth or dying companies pay dividends. In fact, many appear to consider the payment of a dividend an admission that the future isn't as bright as it once was. The clear examples are old industry giants like Microsoft and Intel which together created to foundation of the personal computer revolution.
Those giants were massive beneficiaries of the shift from mainframe computers to a computer on every desk and in every home. With the introduction of mobile computing, popularized by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and its iPhone and iPad products, these former darlings have taken their hits. Along the way, they initiated dividends and are now seen as tired, old companies.
In fact, even Apple isn't immune to the dividend malaise. Ever since Apple initiated a dividend, investors haven't quite looked at the company the same way. Case in point, the shares have been falling since about the same time that the dividend was announced. While the changed perception could be a function of reality setting in that Apple is a good, but not perfect, company, it's hard to avoid the coincidental timing.
Barry Diller say's Different
While the dividend stigma may be appropriate in some cases, it isn't always the case. In fact, when a famed manager and investor like Barry Diller, IAC's Chairman and the person behind the quote above, says his company is initiating a dividend and doesn't fall into the old tech mold, it's worth more research. The company's recent purchase of Tutor.com is a good starting point.
A Little Background
IAC is actually a collection of Internet sites, with such notable properties as Match.com, Ask.com, Dictionary.com, CollegeHumor, and CityGrid, among many others. It lays claim to "nearly a billion monthly visits" to the 150 or so brands under its guidance. That's a lot of hits and gives media mogul turned Internet investor Diller some serious street cred. In fact, the company seems like a mix of an Internet incubator, supporting new and exciting web ideas, and a turnaround shop, taking on older brands, like About.com, and trying to breathe new life into them.
The Tutor.com acquisition is a great example. The company connects tutors and students, nothing special, but a potentially profitable business as the use of the Internet has become an increasingly accepted education tool. IAC hopes to take its expertise in managing websites and grow the Tutor.com business. One notable path to growth is to increase Tutor.com's exposure in the consumer market, an area in which it has historically had little presence.
Cute, but you Missed the Story
Many media outlets have made hay about IAC using the Match.com dating algorithms to help tutor and pupil "meet". That's a cute angle and a funny story. But the real benefit of this marriage will be using the IAC universe of properties to increase Tutor.com's presence on the web. That's the real story here and it will have tangible benefits.
It's also the reason why IAC is so interesting as an investment, aside from its 2% dividend yield. IAC has done a good job of running its sites and continues to add complimentary properties. Look for the company to remain dedicated to company and dividend growth. While those in search of current income and safety should look elsewhere, those with slightly stronger stomachs and a desire for dividend growth should definitely spend time examining IAC and its collection of web brands.

Dating: Ezra
Bio: The "artsy girl" of the group, Aria moved back to Rosewood with her mother Ella, father Byron, and younger brother Mike after a year of living in Iceland following Alison's disappearance. She has returned a changed and mature young woman, slowly reconnecting with her old high school friends. Upon her return she embarked on a long-term, complicated relationship with Ezra, whom she finds out is her new English teacher, Mr. Fitz, after a brief hook-up in a bar bathroom. She has had the least amount of harassment from "A", possibly because she and Alison had a neutral relationship.

Fighting Hard, But Stuck In The Middle
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
AT&T (NYSE: T) has been losing ground to duopoly partner Verizon (NYSE: VZ) in recent years. Making matters worse, smaller players like T-Mobile (NYSE: TMUS) and Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S) have been nipping at its heels. AT&T, however, is fighting back.
The Big Boys
AT&T and Verizon are the two largest telecommunications companies in The United States. While they both have material land-line operations, their growth is coming from cell phones. Verizon's first quarter results were the stronger of the two, as customers signing up for data plans pushed the bottom line above analyst estimates. The stock jumped on the news.
AT&T's first quarter results led to a large share decline. Not only were the company's land line results weak, but its customer additions lagged behind Verizon. In other words, Verizon's business grew more than AT&T's. That's been a bit of a recurring theme.
Market Share
The U.S. cell market is mature. That means that market share is the name of the game. It can be a tough and expensive fight. If it were just AT&T and Verizon locked in a market share battle, the blows would probably be easier to take. It isn't, however, and smaller players T-Mobile and Sprint are taking on AT&T from below at the same time that Verizon is proving its resolve at the top.
For example, T-Mobile now sells Apple's iPhone and has been using lower prices and no-contract deals to lure customers. The company's merger with MetroPCS has also helped it to gain scale in an industry where size matters a great deal.
That said, the merger was only recently completed, so how the company fares over the long-term is still up in the air. What is clear right now, however, is that T-Mobile is working hard to steal market share and AT&T is the easiest target. This year is going to be a transition year for T-Mobile's finances which makes it hard to say what results will look like. Regardless, investors would be better served sticking to industry leaders than buying into an also ran.
Merger Madness
Sprint, meanwhile, is stuck in a merger haze. Japan's SoftBank and Dish Network are the big bidders right now, with recent reports that SoftBank was considering dropping its bid to buy T-Mobile instead. Those rumors seem to be false, since the pair have renewed their love affair. Still, this merger drama makes Sprint a bad option for all but the most aggressive investors.
What is quite clear, however, is that once a new owner emerges, Sprint will be a stronger competitor with a renewed focus on growth. That's likely to mean more aggressive promotional activity and more pressure on AT&T.
Never Say Never
AT&T, however, isn't sitting back doing nothing. In fact, the telecom giant recently announced that it will add more new customers than expected in the second quarter. According to The Wall Street Journal, the half million total is more than 150,000 more than added in the same period a year ago. Pushing the impressive customer gains were trade in offers and discounted tablets.
This is inspiring news for the giant. However, it comes at the cost of pressuring margins. Still, it allows the company to lock customers into multi-year AT&T contracts that the company hopes will allow it to earn a good return over time.
This is the way companies fight market share wars. Sometimes you need to take some near-term hits to open up long-term opportunities. Of course too many hits can lead to losing the war. So, it will be important to keep an eye on AT&T's promotional activity to ensure that its pricing decisions remain disciplined and rational.
AT&T shares yield around 5.1%, a full percentage point higher than Verizon shares. Although Verizon has been doing better of late, AT&T's second quarter looks likely to impress. At the very least, it will show that AT&T is still in the game.
Add to the mix that Verizon Wireless is a joint venture between Verizon and Vodofone. It is likely to cost Verizon over $100 billion dollars to gain full control of its wireless arm. That makes Verizon a far more complex growth story than many realize.
The top lines at both companies have been growing fairly steadily, so neither is a particularly bad company. However, with a full percentage point yield advantage, AT&T, the "underdog," is probably a better option right now for income investors.

What happens to chivalry once women are "equal" to men?
In Sweden, as most of the scandinavian countries, gender equality exists more so than in other parts of the world. (See: http://www.weforum.org/reports-results?fq=report%5Esocial%3A%22Gender%20equality%22 ) However, informally, among my Swedish friends, I am hearing about some side effects of this much sought-after socialization of equality:
Some Swedish women friends complain Swedish men are not very chivalrous: won't buy dinner or drinks, won't go out of their way, want compensation or reciprocation for having done things, for women. However, women say that men make time to talk (about anything) and absolutely help with the household work.
Some Swedish men complain that Swedish women feel overly entitled to things that they did not necessarily earn: affection, gifts, favours etc. That they expect chivalry at the expense of men. That they chastise men for not being more manly. But the men absolutely encourage women to assert themselves and go for whatever it is they want / deserve.
I feel that in North America, and other societies that are still not "there" yet, women's efforts to be equal to men may be partially thwarted by their own ingrained socialized thinking that chivalry is / will always be necessary in the dance between men and women. Some Swedish women even miss it!

Apr 5 2011: Your question implies that women are not equal to men, does it not? And if women are not equal to men, who said so? Women in the US are able to aspire and acquire any station in life, and there are no rules that would defy such a reality.
Any inequality between women/men is simply one's imagination. We are our focus, unfortunately that may include a fearful and/or negatively oriented one. Therefore, chivalry being a term that traditionally describes a male tending to a female in an act of good-will still applies-- however, expectation is the beginning of disappointment.
No one, man or woman, should expect anyone to act with unexpected goodness, which simply is confusing.
Comment deleted
Apr 10 2011: If such a thing is true, why do women agree to take the job knowing that their being paid a sub-par wage?
We all are responsible for our own individual decisions. If a woman doesn't like her pay, she should find a job that suits her pay requirements. If a man doesn't like his pay, he should find a job that suits his pay requirements.
A good negotiator brings to the table everything needed to secure the deal that he or she desires. If women in general don't like their situation, they ought to stop their complaining, and gather together and do something about it. Women have the chance to be far more resourceful in this area, and guys like me will only urge you to take action.
We are all equal, so make your standards shape your beliefs to lead you to a new strategy rather than just complaining about why it's not perfect yet.
Apr 13 2011: http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&ct2=us%2F0_2_g_11_0_t&gid=INT&bvm=list&usg=AFQjCNHmNA_F2qSpatA5MkEHkSHrdXjzog&did=24ab517643e19f43&cid=8797684887783&ei=awmlTeiMKI3skgSW7L7rAg&rt=HOMEPAGE&vm=STANDARD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052748704415104576250672504707048.html%3Fmod%3Dgooglenews_wsj
Apr 19 2011: S.B. Davis, your assertion seems to be theoretical that, "WOMEN AND MEN SHARE EQUAL RIGHTS". I give you credit for including women in that sentence, where the US Constitution does not. But, aside from theory, the reality of sexist social grooming and glass ceilings in many industries do exist, you have to admit. Human and civil rights and laws don't quite apply to the world the same way as the Laws of Physics.
I don't imply that women are or are not equal to men by my question--especially because there are so many possible interpretations (like, yours being the theoretical, idyllic one). I just want to know what happens to chivalry once a woman perceives herself to live in a fully equal society.

A.Mark Brooks, technical
services manager with Laticrete International,
responds: For spot removal of excess epoxy
grout, your best option is to use a heat gun
capable of reaching 500°F. (Don't use a
torch, which is too hot and may scorch or crack the
adjacent surfaces.) The heat gun will soften the
cured grout so that you can scrape it off the
fixtures and out of the screw slots. After you've
removed the grate, you should be able to clean the
softened grout from it too.
You can also use this approach to remove
individual tiles, though mechanical or chemical
methods are suggested for large-scale grout
removal. (For more information, see Laticrete's
technical data sheet TDS-400 at
As with most tile repairs, it's a good idea to
try this method on an inconspicuous area or test
patch first, since a heat gun can damage finishes
as well as some soft glazed tiles. Be sure to
consult the manufacturer of the fixture or setting
product — in this case, the drain assembly
and waterproofing membrane — to determine
its maximum exposure temperature; typically, epoxy
grouts begin to soften at about 160°F. Work

7,500 mile Lotus service in Dublin Ohio
Alright, alright, I know I'm REALLY late with this post but I've been pretty busy since our service in Ohio. It's all paid off though, in two weeks I start a new position as a web developer for English Emprise / The Spalding Group, the folks who were behind the two George W Bush campaigns (the "W" logo & store people). Needless to say I'm extremely excited about working for this company.
Anyway, on with the Lotus Elise goodness! We drove the Elise up to Dublin Ohio to have it's 7,500 mile service performed by Midwestern Auto Group (MAG). Andrew, our service advisor, could not have been nicer and truly made the experience absolutely top notch. The building was VERY cool and a real treat to walk around. All of the techs were very nice and seemed genuinely interested in the cars they were working on, then again, I'd be pretty damn interested in the cars I worked on too if they were Ferraris and whatnot. While at the Midwestern Lotus I got to walk around and check out some interesting cars that were in the building...
This is the first Ferrari F40 I've seen in person, absolutely stunning.
While I was checking this thing out two different employees walked by and made a point to say "And just think, this car has a hard time getting away from your car on a track".... Cool! ;)
Ferrari 360 waiting to be picked up. You can kinda see a smidgen of my Krypton Green car in this photo, unfortunately I forgot to snap a photo of it in the service bay :(
Up in the showroom I got to check out a Ferrari 612, Aston Martin Vanquish & Vanquish S. Very humbling.
There was also a Maserati and several Porsches.
Black Ferrari 612
Couple of Lotus cars in the showroom, standard blue Elise and a Lotus Sport Elise.
Lotus Sport Elise, limited edition Elise with some Lotus Sport goodies.
After checking out some of the cool cars we headed out to our loaner, a 2006 Saab 9-3.
I've always had a thing for Saabs so getting to drive one of these for a couple days was awesome, so awesome in fact that I'm really considering making one of these my daily driver. They have enough power to be entertaining, handle very well for what they are, are very comfy and in my opinion are just a flat out good looking car.
After checking into the LaQuinta we headed out to a very nice shopping area. Easton Towne Center proved to be well worth the trip and had several cool sights.
Easton Town Center Apple Store. I'm kind of an Apple nerd so this was like the highlight of my trip.
The next day we headed to the Columbus Science center, COSI. A brochure at our hotel informed us that there was a Star Wars exhibit at COSI that featured original Star Wars props and experiences designed by the Lucas team. Not a Star Wars geek by any means but it was very neat to see some of this stuff up close. Stuff like one of the orignial Yoda puppets, Obi Wan's lightsaber, Darth Vader's helmet, etc...
Speeder from the original movie.
Posing next to R2D2 & C3P0.
After picking the car up on Saturday we headed over to a neat outdoor art exhibit that I found online, a field of corn...
Concrete corn that is... ;)
This is a big field of concrete corn that was created by, I think, a Dublin Ohio artist. Pictures don't do it justice, it's really cool in person, especially when you've got a Krypton Green Lotus Elise parked next to it ;)
After checking out the concrete corn field we headed on back to Louisville. The trip was an absolute blast. If you are in the Ohio/Indiana/Kentucky region I highly recommend MAG for your Lotus service.
The Sunday after returning home we went to pick up our new puppy. We now have an English dog to match our English car. Introducing Leela, our English Bulldog, posing proudly in front of the Lotus.
Anyway, thats all for now. Hopefully the next update will be in a more timely manner ;)

Ordered this kit and a top for my daughter's Christmas. It looks great but was disapointed to be charged customs duty on delivery. The man at the post office said I was just unlucky as they don't always make this charge, he also said that I might be able to claim it back but I haven't tried this yet. Other UK customers beware.

This product ROCKS! I've been a big fan of CSI for ages, and looked foreward to solving the case - there's a lot to read, which I enjoyed - it really makes you think it all through before you proceed to the forensic tests that are included. My personal highlight! If you are as much into forensic science as I am (or just into it in a normal and healthy way;)), do yourself a favor and try this kit out. You wont regret it!

I purchased this kit to supplement my studies - practical vs theory! I learnt quite alot from this structured package. I would definately recommend this to students who may be doing on-line courses as the practical side of evidence collection is vital. I am now purchasing the larger version (without case study) and will create my own case studies with which to test my knowledge! Thank you crimescene.com!

There was an issue with the order (Not Crime Scene's fault) and Tom was so good about getting back to me and rectifying the problem even when it was out of his control. I just wanted to say "Thank You".

I live over in England and I expected it to take quite awhile to get here, but it only took 1 week exactly, just as Tom said. People were right about the packaging, you dont want to mess it up. I opened it up straight away as soon as i got it. The quality of the it was great. Thanks to everyone @ CS for this great product!!!

I bought the single-use kit to use with my 30 student classroom. I just couldn't afford the classroom version. Luckily, it was easy to extend the single use kit to give all 30 students hands-on activity. For starters, we copied the CDs to use in the computer lab. Tom and crimescene give you permission to do that! We then copied the printed materials so everyone had a handbook. Instead of using the single item of fingerprint evidence that crimescene sent (a fingerprint on glass), I created 30 of my own items of print evidence and altered the handout ( I had to replace the comparision print with my own so they'd match.) We just shared the brush and powder. I could have ordered more hemestix for blood tests, but opted to just do one as a whole class demonstration. For $60 I got an awful lot of use out of this kit and will reuse again. A NOTE FROM CRIMSCENE: We condone copying the disks and handouts for classroom use. We are also constantly impressed by the resourcefulness

This detective kit should help with the forensic sceince unit I'm planning. It just arrived and so far I'm impressed. There are hours of data on CD. I was up till 2 AM last night reading! I tested fabric samples for blood with the heme Sticks today and it was fun, just like on TV. The test will provide some instant gratification for the students. I still don't know whodunit yet. I'll wait to open the solution envelope until I'm good and ready. :)

For years teachers have asked us to make something they could use with their stidents in the classroom. The Crime Scene game is the answer to those requests. It's easy to take this single boxed game and adapt to any size group. Let me know what you think. Tom Arriola Crime Scene

To me it means someone who lives by a code of priniciples that are higher ideals than satisfying or serving his own self interest, and that despite personal sacrifice to himself, adheres to those principles, no matter what. That's a man of honor to me.
Sounds like what one sees when they enter Chase Hall at the Coast Guard Academy..

September 17,2012: Happy Birthday to Vincent and Carmen Micheals!
Lelia shook her head as she looked up into Aiden's eyes with love and happiness. He means more than the world to her and she didn't even know how to put it into words. " I love you so much, you know that right?" she spoke softly, meaning every word of it as she bit down on her lip, letting out a happy sigh, laying in bed like this with him after making love to him... Was one of the best things ever. " I don't know what I would do without you and I never want to find out." She said as he was covering over on top of her, taking her hand, cupping his cheek, gently stroking it with his thumb. " You are my hero, I look up to you ever single day of my life and the days that we are not together. I think about you all the time, how much I miss you, wanting your lips against my skin, just to hear the simple words ' I love you' to come out of your mouth." She said, as she licked her lips a little trying to get them wet. " Aiden Antony Micheals. You are the man of my dreams." She said with a whisper, never losing eye contact with you. " And I'm so glad that I get to call you mine."

ROCK ISLAND -- It was a lot more than a walk in the park Sunday for many Quad-Cities dogs and their owners at the third annual Bark in the Park at Schwiebert Riverfront Park.The pets got to trot around on leashes in a parade, strut their stuff in a talent contest, catch Frisbees and dress to the canine nines in a fashion show. A 4-year-old Scottish terrier named Pepper, owned by Jeremiah Cowgill of Davenport, won first place for his costume -- green hospital scrubs that transformed him into Dr. Pepper.Mr. Cowgill won $100 worth of obedience training from the new Quad Cities Canine Assistance Network (QC CAN), and during the talent portion of the program, Pepper showed off his trick of rolling over. Other dogs were dolled up as a witch, a bat, a ballerina, and a lion, while a boom box blared dog-themed tunes such as "Who Let the Dogs Out," "Walkin' the Dog" and "Dog and Butterfly."Gwen Naylor of Moline showed off Carlito, a 2-year-old long-haired Chihuahua in a Bears jersey that she bought on eBay. "He's just a Bears fan," said Ms. Naylor, who is looking into having Carlito become a therapy dog. "I just think he would be great to cuddle. He likes being around people," she said.More than 10 vendors showed off their products and services, including area animal shelters, QC CAN, K9 Kindness Rescue, Lundgren Chiropractic and Happy Joe's handing out free pizza and Happy the Dog playing with kids."It's good for people to come out and aren't aware of the facilities in services in our area to learn what there is," said Debbi Weston, community recreation assistant manager for the city, who brought her yellow Lab, Chilli."It's a neat event," said Arthur Hoffman of Rock Island, a chiropractic student interning at Lundgren who manned that table and played with his dogs Sterling (a Welsh corgi), and Nershi (a Jack Russell terrier). He's also interested in training to offer chiropractic treatments to dogs and attends animal chiropractic club meetings at Palmer College in Davenport."You can give them a cervical adjustment, like a regular person can have," Mr. Hoffman said of dogs. "You use a gentle diagnostic hand to feel where the issues are. You learn about the anatomy of animals. Their nervous systems are comparable to ours."Mary Kiolbasa, an Augustana College sophomore and president of the recently formed Viking Pups, talked to visitors about the services of QC CAN, which just organized this summer with help of the Augie students to offer training for therapy and service dogs. The training (including obedience classes) is done at All Fur Fun Dog Daycare in Carbon Cliff. Ms. Kiolbasa showed off the golden retriever siblings Tucker and Oden, who are in training.Therapy dogs work in therapeutic settings, such as hospitals, nursing homes and schools, while service dogs work with just one person (who typically has some kind of disability) and live with them, she said. A service dog will often aid in mobility issues, retrieve objects or call for help for an owner with a medical condition like epilepsy."We're here to educate the public," she said.Kris Greene of Moline was with her 4-year-old beagle, Brady, who is in training to be a therapy dog. "He's really well-behaved," she said. "I like the idea of a therapy dog. They're nice in hospitals, to be with people in nursing homes." Such dogs also work well with young kids and can help give them someone to practice reading with, Ms. Greene said."We're really delighted with him. He's enriched our lives," she said.K9 Kindness Rescue was formed in 2004 and places about 100 abandoned dogs a year in foster and adoptive homes, said president and founder Debbie Fraker. There is a great need for people to take dogs on a temporary or permanent basis. K9 takes them in as an alternative to shelters when people move, get married, have a baby, or need to give their pet away for any other reason. For more information, visit www.k9kindnessrescue.org.

Yesterday I was on my way to visit my sister in Seattle and while I was delayed during my layover in Oakland I decided to use my time to try to make decisions and plan out the remaining projects for my kitchen. I am kind of all over the place with finishing my projects and I really want to focus and get the kitchen done before I move onto any other rooms. Thankfully all the construction of the kitchen is done, I just have the decorating part.
I've already shared my completed bulletin board and curtains that both came out awesome….it feels like this space is really starting to come together!
|A great start to the kitchen decoration!
So here's the list:
1. Seal the backsplash and replace all the electrical outlets and covers (about 7). This is the least fun project on my list. I have been putting it off since I installed the tile in February. I know it will make a huge difference but I just can't motivated to start, even though I could get it done in an afternoon.
2. Make my monogram wall. For months now I have been picking up "the letter J" in all shapes and sizes to do a "J" collage. I may be up to a dozen pieces already. And I am not sure yet what colors or techniques I am going to use but hopefully that comes to me when I start working on it. I am still trying to decide if I want to put it on the big wall or the little side kitchen wall next to the fridge. I am leaning toward the little side today.
3. On the left side kitchen wall…well, I don't know. The long shape of it makes it difficult to fit anything I already own, and I can't seem to find anything long enough to buy. I also haven't figured out anything to make that would go there either. I have started saving beer bottle caps to make a cool mural with (like the one I saw at the Abita Brewery where my cousin had his wedding reception) but I don't really have enough to really do anything with yet.
Another obstacle is the greenish brown color I painted on the adjacent wall…I love it but I have to be careful of the colors I choose so it doesn't look weird…red and black are definitely out! Maybe I could paint a custom vintage-looking sign there…hmmm…not sure yet. Vivienne over at The V-Spot did an AMAZING sign that I love!
4. Put a plant in the kitchen corner…a pretty tropical that doesn't need much light and won't die so easily. Even after I eventually get some tiebacks for the curtains, the kitchen doesn't get any direct sunlight (it's a north facing window) so some plants don't like that. I don't really have a stellar track record with indoor plants. But the last one looked good in that spot…well, before it died.
5. I was in my dad's business warehouse the other day and I spied this beautiful piece of wood that still had the tree bark on the edges. I asked him if I could have it and he said sure because it came attached to a pallet…SCORE! I plan to put it above the pantry door where my stained glass salmon is. His name is Sam and he will be relocating to the living room above the hallway under the staircase.
|Sam the stained glass salmon…one day I will tackle a project like this.
I am going to stencil a phrase on the board but I haven't decided what yet. But I have my trusty Cricut ready and waiting to make those stencils. Any ideas??
6. I have a skinny wood picture frame (12″ x 24″) that I want to turn into a brown chalkboard with homemade chalkboard paint. I am not sure yet if I want to make it a magnetic board or not though. I'm leaning toward not.
I would like to make a separate magnetic board for the kitchen since my pretty stainless fridge is not magnetic and I have a bunch of cool magnets from my travels. But I don't really have a place to put it, and I also worry that the kitchen might look cluttered with chotchkies. So now I am thinking I might move the magnet board project upstairs to my sewing studio…whenever I get around to that particular train wreck.
7. I also want to put a little something hanging on the tile backsplash right above the stove below the microwave. Not sure what yet but it needs to be kind of square shaped.
I think that might be it…we'll see.
But now I am on vacation for 8 days and I will have to work on those when I get home.
Until later, happy crafting!

Gov. Nathan Deal (R-GA) signed a law that reduces the number of weeks people would be able to collect unemployment benefits. Starting July 1, benefits will be reduced from 26 weeks to as little as 14 weeks. Republicans said it was needed because Georgia still must pay back more than $760 million it borrowed in recent years to pay for unemployment benefits, but state Democrats argued that cutting the benefits would hurt families. Georgia officials couldn't keep up with the growing demand for unemployment benefits during the recession because legislators had passed a moratorium on collecting the tax from state employers during the booming economy.

The NHL has suspended Columbus Blue Jackets forward Dane Byers three games for an illegal hit to the head of San Jose Sharks forward Andrew Desjardins.
The incident occurred early in the second period of Saturday night's game in Columbus as Desjardins was turning up the ice to follow the puck. Byers delivered a shoulder-to-head hit was assessed a five-minute major and a match penalty on the play.
The 25-year-old forward also picked up a second major penalty for fighting Sharks forward Brad Winchester following the hit.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Sharks head coach Todd McLellan was not happy with the type of hit his player received.
"I feel for (Desjardins)," McLellan said. "He's really starting to fit in with our team and getting more penalty-killing time. He's been a very competitive guy and to see him get hit like that, that is exactly what we want to eliminate from the game."
Desjardins had to be helped from the ice by teammates and did not return to the game. He also did not play the following night against the Chicago Blackhawks and no timetable has been set for his return to action.
Byers previously served a one-game suspension while with the New York Rangers for his role in a fight with the Vancouver Canucks in November of 2009.
The Nipawin, Saskatchewan native has yet to register a point in five games this season with the Blue Jackets and has one goal and 55 penalty minutes in his 11-game NHL career.
Byers will forfeit nearly $9,000 in salary.

RICHMOND, Ky. – It was an awfully cold day outside for late March, but Pro Day went on as planned for several former members of Eastern Kentucky University football team Thursday afternoon.
Offensive lineman Aaron Adams, wide receiver Cameron Bailey, defensive back Justin Bell, running back Matt Denham, defensive back Brooklyn Fox, wide receiver Tyrone Goard, offensive lineman Patrick Ford and quarterback T.J. Pryor were the EKU participants this year.
Representatives from about 15 National Football League and Canadian Football League teams were on hand to watch the players go through a wide assortment of weight room activities and on-field drills. Players took part in the broad jump, long jump, vertical jump and 225-pound bench press in the weight room. On the field, the participants lined up for the 40-yard dash, 20-yard shuttle, three-cone drill and position specific drills.
Goard, a native of Charleston, W.Va., was invited to the NFL Combine a month ago and is projected as a late-round draft pick in next month's NFL Draft.
