"This graduation announcement is simple elegance. The final product was very pretty. I am very happy. I would recommend the shiny finish over the matte. I ordered the matte on a previous product and the shiny finish is much more appealing."
"The variety to choose from was amazing! I love the one I choose. The picture is bright and clear and matches great with the bottom part with the writing, which is clear and easy to read. These were super easy to order and got them quickly. What more could you ask for?"
"I've purchased graduation announcements before from Tiny Prints. . The quality of paper and printed photos is excellent. I have no complaints.. Received the order very quickly. Everyone loved the announcement. My sister saw my son's card and decided to order announcements for her graduating senior as well. Website easy to use. Great experience."
"Very happy with my purchase of Stenciled Scholar announcements. Had them done in red with a black and white photo (school colors). Love the stencil look. Great quality! Got lots of compliments."
"The classic and simple design allowed the photo to be the focus of the card. The orange border lines were a nod to her high school colors - looked great! We added text to include where our daughter was attending college as well. Got lots of positive feedback from those who received it!"

The two suspects arrested
following the murder of a Wayne State University law student made an
appearance before a magistrate Saturday. They're not charged with
murder, but one could face up to life in prison because of his extensive
criminal history.
Click on the video player to watch Robin Murdoch's report.
Michael Booker, 41, told the court he was homeless either living on the streets or with friends.
The magistrate set his bond at $500,000. He faces several charges
including tampering with evidence, receiving and concealing stolen
property, breaking and entering a motor vehicle, and assault and battery.
It's alleged he took a cell phone belonging to Tiane Brown back on
October 30th out of her 2008 Chevy Trail Blazer. Her body was found in
her SUV near the Packard Plant last week.
Because he's been in trouble with the law before Booker could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted.
The judge also arraigned Robert Windsor, 34, via video Saturday for receiving and concealing stolen property. The charge is connected
to the cell phone believed to have belonged to Brown.
Windsor told the court he's unemployed and squatting at a house in Highland Park. His bond was set a $10,000.
Booker will return to court on Nov. 12; Windsor returns Nov. 14.
Meanwhile there have still not been any arrests in Brown's murder. Her family will lay her to rest next week.

Andrew Buie's absence from the West Virginia football depth chart was no accident, head coach Dana Holgorsen revealed on Tuesday.
The junior rusher, who led the Mountaineers in rushing last season, will take a redshirt in 2013 and not participate with the team on game days. Holgorsen said the other four rushers listed on the depth chart will all see action this season, but Buie will not go unless perhaps he is needed for injury issues.
Holgorsen said that Buie had to get himself ready "mentally and physically" and had not shown he had done so to this point.
"He had some decisions. Some of these are decisions that he makes as well," Holgorsen said of Buie. "Did we force him to? No. I'm looking forward to talking about Charles Sims, Dustin Garrison, Dreamius Smith and Wendell Smallwood."
In addition to Buie, Holgorsen
listed Shelton Gibson, Elijah Wellman, Jacky Marcellus, Stone
Underwood, Marcel Lazard, Tyler Tezeno, D'Vante Henry, Isaac McDonald,
Al-Rasheed Benton and Grant Lingafelter among those who will redshirt this
season. Each of those players are newcomers this season other than Buie.
More of Holgorsen's remarks can be seen in his full press conference.

10 Creative Ways to Organize Your Jewelry
Dress Them Up
Dress forms -- typically used by seamstresses and fashion designers -- offer a stylish way to display your chains and chokers. Drape necklaces around the neck and shoulders, and add a belt around your form's waist for smaller items. Insert a hook into one of the belt's holes or over the top of the belt itself, add earrings and bracelets, rinse and repeat.
Frame Them
Picture frames and shadow boxes are another great way to both organize and display your jewelry collection. Remove the glass and backing of the frame, add a little paint if desired, and attach mesh or rows of ribbon or lace (and small hooks if you're displaying more than earrings). Hang the frame on the wall, add jewelry, and step back to admire your work.
Pin Them
For a more industrial look, consider displaying your jewels on corkboard. To spice things up, consider covering the cork with burlap or a fabric of your choice. Use T-pins or decorative pushpins to hang necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Go Traditional
For the purists, buy or craft a jewelry box or jewelry tree to set atop a dresser or bureau. Have more jewels than one box can hold? Add a box with a tree alongside, or buy a few trees in different sizes for a more decorative -- and functional -- display.
Care for a Spot of Diamond?
Vintage teacups and saucers make excellent jewelry organizers. Store necklaces, bracelets and rings on saucers or inside the teacups themselves. Earrings can be dangled over the cups' rims. Hit up your local antique store or flea market and mix and match patterns to achieve a shabby chic look.
Peg Them
With its many holes, pegboard makes a great jewelry organizer. Buy a piece of pegboard in whatever size you choose at your local hardware store. Paint it and add standard or decorative hooks in a random pattern across the board. Use the hooks to display necklaces, rings and bracelets, and use the board's individual holes for earrings.
Create Your Own Wall Art
For a simple yet stylish way to organize and display your jewelry, consider this DIY project. Buy some wooden blocks (any size) from your local hardware store or lumberyard. Cover the blocks with fabric in varied but coordinating designs. Drill evenly spaced holes along the bottom and screw in small hooks. Drill a final hole in the top of the block and insert an eyehook to aid in mounting. Hang your blocks on the wall in a pleasing pattern and voilà -- instant wall art and jewelry display.
Reuse and Recycle
Have more bracelets than a SillyBandz® obsessed tween? Make use of your old glass bottles or pick some up at an antique shop or flea market. Display the bottles on any surface and start stacking up your bracelets.
Racks & Knobs and Hooks, Oh My!
Knobs and hooks come in all flavors -- from the plain and simple set sold at your local hardware store to the ornate-and-vibrant variety found at fashion boutiques and antique shops. Use any material you like (salvaged wood is a popular choice), add hooks and knobs, and mount. As an alternative, hang a standard towel rack and adorn it with fashionable shower hooks.
Borrow a Box
Any kind of box, tray or drawer will do, but vintage typeset drawers, tackle boxes and wooden utensil trays make great choices. For a finished look, consider painting your box or tray and using wallpaper samples or scrapbooking paper to line the sections. Use it on top of a dresser or hang it on the wall. For those mounted on the wall, add decorative hooks, knobs or loops of ribbon with a button or snap to hang your trinkets from.

Families that live on Azalea Circle in Marietta have been trying to take responsibility for an abandoned, unkempt home that's been left empty for nearly a decade.
Neighbor Bo Bortnyk said he believes the state of that home is lowering the value of other homes in the area.
"There's no electricity, running water or anything. It has not been kept up at all during that time," Bortnyk said. "People come in maybe once or twice a year, for a half hour each time, and that's it."
Janet Grimsley said she's not just concerned with the overgrown trees, grass and bushes, but they also worry about what's inside.
"There's vermin living on here, feral cats, coyotes, all kinds of animals," Grimsley said.
Grimsley, Bortnyk and other neighbors said they have tried repeatedly over the years to get Cobb County officials to make the home's owners take care of their property.
"My neighbors have signed numerous petitions to get people or officials here to do something about this house and we've heard nothing, year after year," Bortnyk said. "Something needs to be done. Either fix it or take it away."
But neighbors believe they may get different results with a new petition they've just signed, thanks to two trees that fell on top of the home this summer.
"And since there are trees on the house, they said there is structural damage," Grimsley said. "Before they said they couldn't do anything because there wasn't structural damage."
CBS Atlanta reached out to Michael Hughes, director of Cobb County's Office of Economic Development, who neighbors said is looking into the problem, on Sunday.

Has anyone had good results with lymphatic drainage massage to reduce post-op swelling?
- Carol99
- San Francisco
- 2 years ago
I'm a few weeks post-op after mini-lift and am having a lot of discomfort due to tightness/swelling around ears and scalp. I've heard lymphatic drainage massage works well to relieve swelling. Has anyone had any results using it? Did you go to a professional? How many treatments did it take to get results? Thanks and best of luck to everyone.
Comments (2)
I am sorry no one has answered this but I think LDM is very good for post op swelling. My DR includes this in his fees and I have a quite a few things done with him and he also gives me arnics tablets and bromelaine. I have not had much swelling. You can look this up online and even do this yourself while showering and such to massage excess fluid out of your body. It is a good thing.

I meant arnica tablets. :)

Police Officers in Bismarck, Mandan and Dickinson are on the lookout for an unusual kind of "suspect".
Instead of looking for the bad guys, they are actually looking for kids doing the right thing.
Kids "caught" wearing helmets when riding a bike, skateboard, scooter or skates will get a mock "ticket" for free ice cream.
It's a partnership between police departments, AAA and Dairy Queen.
The program is all about promoting safety.
It is estimated that less than half of kids 5-14 wear helmets.
Bismarck Police Officer Clint Fuller says, "The importance of wearing a helmet is great. From seeing stuff out on the street of kids not wearing a helmet and being involved in accidents. Being a law enforcement officer and understanding the importance of it. And rewarding kids for good behavior. They get free ice cream cone, it's a fun thing. They are like, "wow, it's important, officers are noticing I'm doing a good job and I got caught doing something well."
AAA is giving away free children's bike helmets and fitting helmets next Thursday June 27th from 1-4 at AAA Bismarck at 3113 N. 14th St.

15 arrests at UMass Amherst after Red Sox win
It was mayhem on the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus late Wednesday night after the Boston Red Sox won the World Series.
Police estimate there were 15 people arrested post-game, 14 of whom were students, WCVB reports. The students were largely gathered on the southwest residential area of campus.
The university made several statements in an attempt to prevent students from being destructive.
"Your actions tonight have consequences. If you engage in reckless crowd behavior, you will be arrested," the university tweeted Wednesday night. "Breaking trees and engaging in destructive behavior will get you arrested. Think before you jeopardize your future," the school said in another tweet.Despite rumors, the school adamantly denied that there were any extreme measures taken to control the crowd.
"There has been no tear gas deployed at UMass Amherst. There are no rubber bullets in use. Reports stating otherwise are false. … Smoke and pepper balls were used. No tear gas. No rubber bullets. Reports stating otherwise are false."
Some students caught the clash between students and authorities on camera.
No injuries were reported.

The Hennepin County Library Board met on Wednesday, March 25, 1998, at the Eden Prairie Community Library.

Carol Walsh
J.L. (Bob) Zaragoza
|C.Brown, T.Bonner, D.Cramer, L.Engberg, J.Kinney, J. Gegner, P. Holt, D. Kalinka, L. Langer, S. Louis, C. Muchow, M. Swatosh, A.Turner, C.Ahrens, B. Berg.
|Mary White (Office of Budget and Finance/Henn. County)
President Jackson called the meeting to order and welcomed new Library Board member Peggy Kelly.
Motion was made by P. Baskin to approve the February 25, 1998 meeting minutes; seconded by J. Cole; motion passed.
Lois Langer, Eden Prairie Librarian, reviewed information about the community and its perception. In 1996 the population was about 50,000, expecting final build out to be about 63,000 in the year 2010. 45% of the population is between 25-44 years old, with a median household income of $53,000. The library processes approximately 6,000 hold every month. Most common complaints from public: 1) materials not on shelves; 2) not enough hours; and 3) parking lot too small.
P. Baskin reported on the March 18 meeting: staff presentations, discussion of officer roles on Library Board, fines & fees are on a three-year cycle that will currently not recommend any major revisions to the fine and fee structure for the 1999 fiscal year, which pleased the Library Management Team.
J. Cole reviewed policy development activities. Since all library buildings are either owned or rented by the County, that gives ADA compliance, there was no need for an access policy. Also, the relationship with the Library Foundation of Hennepin County, there was no policy needed based on the County Commissioner resolution in 1996. Revenue policy was reviewed and referred to staff for examination/discussion and return to Committee prior to next meeting.
P. Baskin, chair, reviewed past practice of committee members being nominated for offices. Since the proposed slate of officers includes her name, she resigned from the Nominating Committee and asked Carol Walsh to give the report. Nominating Committee meeting minutes of March 19 were distributed to Library Board and were reviewed by C. Walsh. The recommended slate of officers is Patti Baskin for President, Marilyn Jackson for Vice President, and Bob Zaragoza for Secretary. Jack Cole moved to accept the Nominating Committee report; seconded by Marilyn Jackson. Vote passed with one dissenting vote.
Marilyn Jackson thanked the Library Board for the opportunity to serve and turned the meeting over to Patti Baskin. P. Baskin recognized accomplishments of Marilyn Jackson and the Library activities accomplished during her term as President.
C. Brown reported:
Staff Issues
L. Engberg reported that summer hours have been set--in addition to GV, Sd and Bd, both the Plymouth and Hopkins Libraries will be open on Saturday this summer to take up the slack from the closed Ridgedale Library. The Library recevied a $12,000 grant from the Cargill Corporation for the Family Read-to-Me program in Bloomington. The One World Series of programs continued to be very successful. On April 21 the MELSA Education Committee is sponsoring Will Manley at Southdale, 1:30 p.m. Statistics: increase in volunteer hours, number of reserves placed through February is almost 100,000.
Public Library Association Conference [Bob Zaragoza entered the meeting.]
Gretchen Wronka was unable to attend the Library Board meeting to report, but print materials were distributed.
Ali Turner gave a quick review of the PLA program on the HCL Great Transitions program (materials were also distributed).
Pamela Holt discussed the program she presented with Michael McConnell on the Information Services Team report (materials distributed).
Computers in Libraries '98
Janet Kinney gave a brief overview of the presentation she did with Marilyn Turner and Glenn Peterson in Washington, D.C, a very well-received program.
Jeff Gegner gave an overview of the lease collection with a goal to provide improved customer service. Hope to be a self-sustaining, cost-containment program rather than a revenue generator. Motion to approve the Bestseller Express Program was made by M. Jackson, seconded by C. Walsh; motion passed.
C. Brown noted that this was a follow-up to a previous Library Board conversation. Provided Library Board with a status report on the 1997 strategic initiatives that were identified; second part of the packet was information regarding the 1998 strategic initiatives. Discussion took place in two parts, the first being the 1997 initiatives.
Questions from Library Board:
AWAIR program --essentially health and safety in the work place.
1998 strategic initiatives -- format developed by Linda Engberg was very well received by County government and served as a model for several other departments. Technology initiatives and Ridgedale will be major undertakings for 1998.
Questions from Library Board:
Focus group: request for a report on the 2/17/98 group; C. Brown responded verbally. Request for expansion of focus groups to other communities, e.g. immigrant populations.
M. Jackson: Participated on Policy Development Committee, next meeting is scheduled for April 29 with some additional staff input.
MELSA/Metronet: J. Cole reported on the MLA trustee interactive video program on May 7, 5-7:00 p.m., local site is the School District 287 offices, near the Administrative building. Topics will be legal ramifications of being a trustee and Internet access issues. Information will be sent to trustees.
Metronet: Minnesota Book Awards, 10th year, held at Minnesota History Center/auditorium, 7:00 p.m. (arrive by 6:30 for a seat), overflow crowds, 7 of the authors nominated live in suburban Hennepin County. About 650 libraries are members of Metronet. Working on Library Technology Site Grant: received 14 applications from the metro area plus one from Metronet, $3.5 million is available, requests were received for $7 million.
MELSA: Will be changing the calendar year to January-December. Strategic planning retreat is scheduled with Advisory Board on April 2-3.
Other Board Members:
P. Baskin reported that plans for next season of Pen Pals are proceeding.
Teresa Bonner reported on the new Foundation Board member orientation.
Next meeting of Library Board is scheduled for April 22. P. Baskin made a motion to change the April 22 meeting to April 29; and requested that the April & May meetings (in addition to the Ways & Means Committee meetings) Library Board meetings begin at 4:30 p.m. P. Kelly seconded; motion passed.
President Baskin requested board approval of recent gifts to the library as submitted. It was moved by P. Kelly and seconded by J. Cole to accept recent gifts to the Library; motion passed.

There are 55 species of kangaroos and wallabies in Australia today, only seven of which are commercially harvested. The Red kangaroo, Eastern grey kangaroo and Western grey kangaroo are the most abundant and make up over 90 per cent of the commercial harvest. The combined population size of these three species fluctuates with seasonal conditions and exceeded 50 million animals in 2001.
All the species that are subject to commercial harvesting are common and could in no way be considered endangered species. Commercial harvesters have expert skills in distinguishing between the common harvested macropod species and the endangered or vulnerable species.
At a national level, wildlife management plans and the export of Australian native animal products are controlled under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The provisions in this Act ensure that Australia continues to have the toughest wildlife trade laws in the world.
The Act ensures that any commercial use of exported Australian native wildlife is managed in an ecologically sustainable way under an approved Kangaroo Management Plan. Management plans may only be approved following a rigorous assessment demonstrating that they will not have a detrimental impact either on the harvested species or their ecosystems. Animal welfare considerations are a priority in the legislation. Under the EPBC Act, the Government is able to ensure proposals for the sustainable use of wildlife observe strict welfare requirements.
Kangaroos are also protected by State and Territory legislation. They can only be harvested as part of approved Kangaroo Management Plans that set appropriate limits for the numbers of kangaroos that can be commercially harvested.
A precautionary approach is taken in the setting of commercial quotas for kangaroo harvesting to ensure that the harvest is sustainable. The quotas are set on the basis of scientific recommendations after consideration of population size and trends. Market forces are not considered. Quotas set a safe limit to the harvest but are not targets that must be reached. For instance, in 2001 the overall commercial harvest was only about 61 per cent of the total approved quota. Conservation of the species remains the foremost consideration and quotas will be reviewed should monitoring, required by the approved management plan, indicate a review is warranted.
A Code of Practice for the Humane Shooting of Kangaroos is in effect and was prepared cooperatively by all government wildlife authorities in Australia. All harvesting States support the Code, and compliance with the Code is a license condition for commercial shooters in all States. The professional shooters involved are skilled and operate in accordance with the Code to ensure that the shooting of kangaroos is done in a humane manner.
Furthermore all States and Territories have legislation concerning animal welfare matters and are able to prosecute offenders. Any person with evidence of cruelty to kangaroos is urged to pass it on to the appropriate authority so that action can be taken.
Kangaroo harvesting, carried out under the strict environmental controls provided by the EPBC Act and other legislation, is an environmentally friendly and uniquely Australian industry. Kangaroos have evolved as part of the Australian ecosystem and, with their soft feet, do not cause soil erosion or landscape damage on the rangelands they graze. The commercial harvesting of widespread and abundant kangaroo species is an ecologically friendly industry that contributes to the sustainability of the Australian environment.

Comic Jerry Seinfeld has confirmed plans to reunite his former "Seinfeld" co-stars for a "special project."
The star sparked rumors of a much-anticipate get together earlier this month when he was spotted shooting a Super Bowl commercial with Jason Alexander and Larry David at New York City's Tom's Restaurant, which doubled as the diner from the hit show.
Seinfeld refused to offer an explanation for the reunion, prompting many to speculate the trio was filming a Super Bowl ad.
The comedian revealed on WFAN radio's "Boomer & Carton" show Thursday that there will be no commercial. "It's a secret project," he said. But he confesses the "Seinfeld cast" will be back for the "one-and-done" project, adding it will be out "very, very soon."

Reese Witherspoon
A Southern debutante with a penchant for Container Stores, Tupperware and organization (so much so that the name of her production company is Type A which was also her childhood nickname), Reese Witherspoon broke into modeling and commercials around 7 and made her film debut in "The Man In The Moon" at 14. Before completing high school, she'd moved on to lead roles in films like "Jack The Bear" and "A Far Off Place." She started an intense and quick love affair with Ryan Phillippe at her 21st birthday party. They moved in together mere months after meeting, costarred in 1999's "Cruel Intentions" and were married later that year when she was six-months pregnant. Daughter Ava was born in September 1999 and brother Deacon followed in 2003. Meanwhile, Witherspoon catapulted herself to the A list by earning critical kudos and a mainstream fanbase with "Election," "Legally Blonde," "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Walk The Line." Playing June Carter Cash in the latter nabbed a Golden Globe and an Oscar in 2006, which unfortunately was the same year she split from Phillippe. She picked up the pieces with her "Rendition" costar Jake Gyllenhaal, but it was ultimately agent Jim Toth who convinced her to take a second walk down the aisle in 2011. They welcomed son Tennessee in September 2012. Her America's sweetheart reputation took a hit in April 2013 when she was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly contact after Toth was pulled over for a suspected DUI.

For Paul Thomas Anderson, moviemaking is not just an art; it's also about time management.
"At its best, a film set is when everybody knows what's going on and everybody's working together," he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "At its worst, [it's] when something's been lost in communication and an actor's not sure how many shots are left or what's going on, and the makeup department's confused."
Anderson wrote and directed the new film The Master, which stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as a cult leader and Joaquin Phoenix as a troubled World War II veteran who makes his way into the group.
For the film, Anderson conducted research about Dianetics — a metaphysical theory created by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard — and its early followers, including one couple's newsletters about yoga, new diets and past-lives therapy. He says that poring over these writings was "the best way to try to hold hands with the past and get to know these people," and that "there was a kind of wide-open feeling to a lot of things, reading, and a lot of investigation and openness to anything, which felt like a pre-hippie thinking."
The Master is set in the 1950s, and Anderson shot in 65mm film to try to recreate the colors palette he saw in movies from the period. He also found looking at department-store portraits from that era to be helpful.
"Those somehow were the most candid and revealing, and helped you time travel — look at these faces, look at that period, look at that era — and try and imagine not just what was happening when the picture was taken, but what would happen right after," he says.
Anderson has always loved the 1950s because of the era's cars, outfits, hairdos, music — and also because of his father, Ernie Anderson. He was a World War II veteran who later became well-known as an announcer on ABC TV, famous for saying things like, "On the Looooooove Boat…"
Growing up, Anderson would go to the ABC studio and watch his father record.
"It was a step towards what I wanted to do — being in that world, being around technicians, moving parts, and microphones, video rolling — I loved it," he says.
Anderson also wrote and directed the widely acclaimed films Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood. He has been nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including Best Achievement in Directing and Best Original Screenplay.
Interview Highlights
On the first scene he wrote for The Master
"Well it's inspired by the actual questionnaire that's out there as relates to Scientology, but I had changed it and switched it around. And I came to that many years ago, and actually found it was a great way to just start writing. Forget any implications of making a film or story about this — it was really just writer's block and sitting around. The best way for me to start writing a story is to get two characters talking to each other. And if you got questions from one, you're gonna have to get answers from the other, and you can start to find out who is coming out of you when you're writing, if you know what I mean.
"So I just started doing it as an exercise, and that's probably one of the scenes that I wrote first in the movie … working from the middle. But I wrote that years and years ago. [I] didn't really know who these people were, so I just started discovering who they were by what their answers would be."
On working with Joaquin Phoenix on his character's physicality
"Kind of early on, Joaquin let me know that actually his shoulder — I think from birth, he has kind of a messy shoulder. And he's probably spent a lot of time trying to hide it or stand up straight so that he can twist his body around. He said, 'Do you think it'd be alright if I do this?' And I said, 'Sure, great.'
"But a couple days into the film, he was feeling more comfortable and just kept sliding into this skin that he was doing — these movements that were so incredible. I just didn't want to jinx anything and say, 'What are you doing?' or 'What's going on?' You're in the middle of make-believe – you don't want to break the spell. You just want to watch him do whatever he's doing.
"I have my own theories about it, because [Phoenix's character] puts his hands on his hips – sort of stuff about his kidneys being torn up from the war. Maybe something happened. Maybe it's just easier. Maybe it's comfortable for him to reach back and hold his kidneys and help him stand. But then again, yeah, there's always that thing — the way someone holds himself is an extension of what's going with them on the inside. And I buy that too, for sure."
On the war stories that inspired scenes in the film
"One of the stories in the film comes from Jason Robards, who famously fought in the war, was in the Navy. … I worked with him on Magnolia. And he told me the story of coming back. I don't remember what boat he was on, but he was coming back, and V-J Day was announced, and they'd run out of booze. And they broke into the torpedoes and drank booze [i.e, fuel] out of there. And the way he tells it, he woke up the next morning on the mast of the ship, and an inch either way he would have fallen to his death. And that story just stuck with me as a great story … something to get into the film.
"I think the idea with ethanol is, you put just a few drops and then squeeze as many coconuts or papaya or whatever you've taken back with you from the island; sort of 99 percent juice and maybe 1 percent ethanol. You'll get pretty good buzz."
On shooting on 65mm film
It's a different film, so it's a different feeling. It's really that simple, but ultimately … you know a 35mm camera, they're small. I mean you can be as small as a little speaker that I'm looking at here, sort of no bigger than a laptop. Some of these cameras are teeny. And with 65mm cameras you are limited, because they're incredibly large and they're loud and you can't fling them around or put them on a steadicam. You can put them on your shoulder if have a really good chiropractor or masseuse.
"So they're limiting in that way, but that was good for us. We were trying to be straightforward and simple and old-fashioned. And loud — they're very loud. You can hear bzzzzzzz.
On loving the ocean
"I remember as a kid going to Pearl Harbor, and they have that monument you can go to and it made such an impression on me. You sort of look down into the water. You see fishes moving around, and you have to think about what happened there and all those bodies … and all these kinds of things that have gone in that water. It's a thought that always sticks with me when I do go into the ocean when I go swimming — all that's happened and all that's beneath the surface, and things coming and going. I don't know — it gets you in a good place of thinking about things in a wider way."

Fortunately, the shooter never got inside the building during Monday's shooting at Sparks Middle school. For that, school police give credit to training and safety procedures.
Monday's shooting at Sparks Middle School is something no one could have predicted. But it is something that our schools prepare for.
Part of that is building relationships with students and having staff members outside before classes start.
"Those teachers stepped up and did exactly what they were trained to do and took the proper steps along those lines of emergency management," says Washoe County School District Police Chief Mike Mieras.
School police say they're reviewing everything that happened during the shooting to learn from it.
"We will sit down with the staff at the school and will take that global look and we'll start narrowing it down and we'll start looking at any ways we can improve school safety. That's our number one goal."
About a third of Washoe County's 93 schools use the single point of entry system including Sparks Middle School.
You can only get into the building through one entrance and visitors have to show ID at the front office before they can get buzzed in.
And it serves a lot of purposes.
"There's custody issues, we've had individuals that come in and wander into our school grounds, go to classrooms. We had parents go to classrooms and try to open doors or disrupt a class while it's in session."
Other schools, like Reed High have recently added fencing around the property.
The school district police department has 38 officers. They work closely with school staff across Washoe County to prepare for possible incidents.
"If they do have to come into one of our schools for an emergency, they have a very good idea of what our staff is going to be doing in our schools."
And while there is always the possibility of a tragic situation like we saw earlier this week, Mieras says our schools are getting safer, everyday.
"When I kiss my daughter good-bye in the morning to send her into school, I know and I feel in my heart that my child is safe."
Chief Mieras says the school district doesn't have any plans to install metal detectors. He says they've been used in other places and haven't stopped incidents like these from happening.

commented on Giveaway: The Banner Saga Steam Codes
The Banner Saga really takes me back to the old Rankin-Bass animated films I loved as a kid - "The Hobbit" and "The Last Unicorn" especially. The game's turn-based tactics are also very appealing to me, having played many of the Heroes of Might and Magic and Xcom titles in the 1990s. I need this game key in order to prove to the universe that I will use it only for good.

"Since our renovation, we continue to see new retailers wanting to be a part of the special shopping experience we offer here," said Renee Lanzara, the director of marketing at the mall. "We look forward to announcing more new additions in the near future."
Unfortunately, the mall will also be saying goodbye to one of its tenants. The intends to close its doors by January 24.
The closure has nothing to do with the mall's renovation or its new tenants, Lanzara explained. Instead, Disney intends to focus on mega stores in major cities, as opposed to smaller mall-based retailers.
However, Disney's space will not remain vacant.
Instead, will be relocating into the renovated space in the next year. Similarly, and will be moving into new, renovated locations in the mall in the next 12 to 18 months.
Finally, two more retailers— and Sarku Japan—will renovate their current locations in the mall.
"We're pleased to welcome these new additions and to see updates to several of our long-time retailers," Lanzara said in a statement. "We know these changes are a direct result of the major renovation we completed last year. This is only the beginning of phase two of the project, which includes making room for more new tenants."

There's a place for Milwaukee in this madness
Category: Uncategorized
I'm just not certain how I want to feel about this whole thing.
(Surely you know what "this whole thing" is referring to.)
Initially I was excited to see the Central Division open up for the taking. Of course, the Bulls will probably be the favorites thanks to their flashy acquisition of Carlos Boozer. But the Bucks have more than a puncher's chance at the division crown. And it's always more fun when Milwaukee and Chicago have something to compete at.
But now? Now I'm feeling a little empty. Are division titles really worth celebrating? All that guarantees, assuming I'm remembering correctly, is a home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Henry Abbott made a compelling argument that divisions really have no place in the NBA any longer not too long ago. I get where he's coming from. Armed with this knowledge, it's difficult for me to get too amped up with annual division wins as a potential ceiling, if that is indeed where the ceiling sits. If the Bucks pull down a victory in the first round of the playoffs for the next few years and lose to the Heat in round two or three, will that just bum me out more than the constant losing that dominated the majority of my life as a Bucks fan?
Confused and uncertain, I went to my father for his recollections of what the 80's were like. Because, honestly, the situation the Bucks are staring in the eye now is what older Bucks fans dealt with then.
"It was frustrating. 50 wins every year and then a loss to the Sixers or Celtics. We still hoped every year though."
I liked that last line. "We still hoped every year." Sure, a lot of teams can "hope every year", but not for much. Nets fans will probably have hope next year, but it'll be more along the lines of "I hope we win 34 games." The kind of hope that he was talking about in the 80's and that I'm thinking I'll be feeling now, is different.
It's that kind of hope that gets fans genuinely excited about the season, regardless of what other teams are doing. It's the hope that everything falls into place and a season becomes magical. This is the direction the Bucks are heading in as a real life successful franchise. That's the thing about a successful team, you can always hope things will fall into place for them. Good teams put themselves into a position to be successful and hope the ball bounces the right way for them. Good teams simply keep themselves in the picture when it matters most.
Given the vast financial commitment the Heat will have to make to "Miami Thrice" (saw this bounced around Twitter and I liked it), their depth should be an issue for a while. Who knows if everyone will remain healthy there. Hell, who knows if everyone will remain healthy here. So many things can happen over the course of an NBA season, it's kind of silly to try and project too far in advance.
And yet I do.
I blame the Bucks. If they hadn't suddenly become a respectable franchise in the year heading into MEGA-FREE-AGENCY!!!, I could still allow my hopes to continue to sulk through each year. But not only did the Bucks become a bonafide playoff team last season, they went out and significantly (depending on who you ask) upgraded at least two positions on their roster this summer. Perhaps not with arguably the games best player and a perennial all star, but good players nonetheless. Players good enough to win games, but not good enough to shed the underdog label that's sure to follow the Bucks the next few years.
So maybe this is a blessing. The underdog label is the most wonderful of things. It can bring teams together, make deviants believers and unify masses. The ability to remain an underdog year in and year out typically isn't easy, but The Super Team has just made it possible for a squad like the Bucks. I've worried about a drop off after the magic of last season, complacency and all that, but the Bucks will be flying under the radar once again heading into next season.
Chips can rest easily on the shoulders of the men in red and green as fresh, new look teams like the Knicks, Bulls and obviously the Heat soak up attention while basking in the glorious new scent of victory. Meanwhile the Bucks will prod along and do their thing as they've been doing since last February.
I'm starting to realize how I feel about "this whole thing". And it's not too bad. I see the light at the end of this tunnel. I see how the Bucks fit in.
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.

This is going to be a very interesting season in the NBA, especially in the East. With Cleveland and Miami trying to figure things out, the Knicks won't be any better, and the Celtics will just be older and without Perkins for a while. The Magic should be the clear class of the conference now, it seems, and the Bulls should be good. But much better? I think the Bucks could have a chance to really make a run this year. Optimistic, sure, but if they can improve on last year, why can't they be the second seed? I'm pretty curious to see how it all pans out.
I remember the Bucks of the 80′s and how they always contended in the playoffs but lost to the sixers/celtics
I much rather experience losing in the conference finals vs what happened in the 90′s and most of the 00′s.
The 80′s teams gave you hope that just maybe they could get over the hump and make to the finals and have a
legit chance of winning. If this team progresses(Bogut/Jennings) it could easily turn into that same scenario
Having a chance is always better than not having any chance.
I'm not sure Orlando can improve. Actually, I am pretty confident they are at their ceiling. I am also confident the Celtics and Hawks have reached their ceiling. The Heat will be great, but anything can happen. I feel like an injury to any one of the big 3 and they have no shot at a title. They will not have the depth to make up for it. The team with the most upside is the Bucks. Could Jennings improve his 37% shooting to say 41%? Sure, why not! Can Luc and Ersan make strides in the right direction? Absolutely! Could Sanders be a surprise and chip in 5 boards and a couple blocks a game. I don't see why not! Could Maggette and Gooden combine for 30 points and 12 rebounds a game. Yes! The Bucks have upside that not a lot of other teams have. Look out! I smell a great year under gritty gutty Scotty Skiles!
I got hooked on Bucks ball back in the way early '90′s (Lee Mayberry, Blue Edwards, Todd Day, Benoit Benjamine … oops, just threw up in my mouth). Outside of a brief chaotic run under George Karl, all I've gotten in return for my emotional investment was constant pummelings during the regular season, followed by lackluster and uninspiring offseasons that gave us as fans no hope. Other teams contended, dropped off, contended again while the Bucks botched lottery after lottery. Now the Bucks have an exciting young PG with real, legit promise; a top flight, athletic shot blocking center; and a deep, versatile bench.
I think I'll wait until the Miami SuperFriends dump us from the playoffs five consecutive seasons before I decide which is worse: The 30 win team or the almost-but-not-quite-great team.
I'm more worried about the Bulls than anyone else. I don't have much faith in the new coach they have there but I could be wrong. I actually thought if they picked up Lebron they would be almost a unanimous favorite to win it all, now it's still a tossup in my opinion. The Bulls have quality players at every position just about, but the bench seems a little sub-standard to me and that's where I think the Bucks have an advantage. But like curak said, it will be an exciting season. Can you imagine if the heat don't get off to a good start? I would relish that I think…

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York's buildings department has started issuing fines to real estate agents and brokers who advertise and show illegal apartments for rent.
The New York Times reports that the fines start at $3,600 and can go up to five times that amount.
Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri says the agents "are the enabler. We have to hold them accountable."
In January and March, the agency issued fines to 10 agents for listing apartments in neighborhoods including Park Slope in Brooklyn and Hamilton Heights in Upper Manhattan. .
The Real Estate Board of New York says brokers have the responsibility to act if they know something. But it said the question was what did they know and how difficult was it to find out that kind of information.

AARP Foundation and Library Join Forces to Help District Residents 50 and Older
Published on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 - 2:56pm
For many Americans 50 and older, uncertainty is the new normal. Now more than ever, older adults are often having to balance work, home and family and may be unsure of where to turn to find resources and support. In the District, a pilot partnership between the DC Public Library and AARP Foundation launched today to help older adults connect to important resources and get advice and assistance from trained volunteers; all while socializing with their neighbors.
The project, called the 50+ Program Series, will run for 8 weeks and take place at the Anacostia and Lamond-Riggs libraries. Informational workshops will be held three days each week and be staffed by volunteers who can guide customers to relevant AARP Foundation, library and social services like pre-screening for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Volunteers are also available to help connect customers to accurate information on topics like financial education and to learning opportunities like computer training.
In addition to the informational workshops, AARP Foundation speakers and library-led programs will show attendees how:
- to take job hunting to the next level using tips, advice, worksheets and computer-based job search strategies for midlife career changers.
- technological advances can help people with low vision and hearing impairments read or listen to books.
- to hone smart money habits like budgeting and goal setting; taking charge of credit and debt; developing a savings plan and protecting your assets.
- emerging technologies like micro-controllers and 3-D Printers are expanding what can be done at a library.
- to preserve physical objects such as letters and photographs to be passed from generation to generation.
- to ensure that grandchildren are developing essential pre-reading skills.
The program will run until December 13 on the following schedule:
- Anacostia Library; Tuesdays and Thursdays: 1-4 p.m.; Fridays: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Lamond-Riggs Library; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: 1-5 p.m.
For full program descriptions, visit http://www.dclibrary.org/50plus
The 50+ Program Series is made possible through support from AARP Foundation and DC Public Library Foundation.
AARP Foundation is working to win back opportunity for struggling Americans 50+ by being a force for change on the most serious issues they face today: housing, hunger, income and isolation. By coordinating responses to these issues on all four fronts at once, and supporting them with vigorous legal advocacy, the Foundation serves the unique needs of those 50+ while working with local organizations nationwide to reach more people, strengthen communities, work more efficiently and make resources go further. AARP Foundation is AARP's affiliated charity. Learn more at www.aarpfoundation.org

Movie Matinee
Published on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - 10:51am
Don't know what to do with your Thanksgiving holiday? Come to the Georgetown Interim Library on Friday, November 27 at 2 p.m. to watch Pixar's 2009 movie "Up" about a 78-year old man who decides to fulfill his lifelong dream of visiting South America. Little does he know that he has a much younger stowaway!
We'll have popcorn and juice, so bring your whole family!
