The future is now for two mobile sellers.
I'm a science fiction nut. Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who: You name it, I probably like it. As such, I grew up dreaming of a future that included all sorts of really cool technology. One technology I looked forward to was video calls on mobile devices. And when Apple Inc. came out with FaceTime, I was in heaven.
This week, two companies debuted apps that create two-way video links between consumers and agents that are really cool. And as you'll find out in my August Internet Retailer magazine story on smartphone apps, cool counts.
Valspar Paint worked with marketing services firm CatapultRPM to bring interior designers into consumers' homes via iPhones and iPads. A consumer sets up an appointment with a Valspar color consultant and at the appointed time the consultant initiates a video link with the consumer. The consumer then uses her iPhone 4S or iPad to scan around a room to give the consultant an idea of what things look like. The consultant displays colors she feels work best. At the end of the free 30-minute session, the consumer can order paint straight from the consultant.
On another front, StubNut.com worked with mobile technology provider Radish Systems to build into its app an audio/visual customer service feature that enables a two-way connection where ticket agents can show buyers views from selected seats, venue maps and more. It's not live video, but it is live audio plus visuals. And most important, it's cool. And I guess I should add that it's highly practical and likely can help drive conversion and upsells.
Live video customer service is something a lot of retailers should be thinking about. It can greatly help a mobile app stand out in the crowd, and it can aid in increasing sales. Cool is the rule in mobile apps. So give live video or audio/visual a thought. Video calls will become mainstream sooner rather than later, and I believe people will come to expect live video customer service one day. Do it now and be a mobile commerce leader.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without Carl Nicks yet again this weekend, and they'll be trying their fourth different player at his position in hopes of holding together an offensive line which has struggled to live up to expectations this season.
With Jeremy Zuttah shifting back to center to make sure snaps reach Mike Glennon's hands, and with Ted Larsen and Gabe Carimi not playing well enough to hold down the LG job, Jamon Meredith sounds like he'll get his shot this weekend against the excellent front seven of the Seattle Seahawks.
Schiano on physical nature of facing Seahawks on Sunday: "It's going to be a big man's game." Looking like Jamon Meredith at left guard.
— Greg Auman (@gregauman) October 31, 2013
Good luck, Jamon.
The Seahawks, led by former Buccaneer Michael Bennett, are third in the NFL in sacks, and have an aggressive defense which will attack the Buccaneers at their weakest points. The Bucs have failed in protection up the middle all season long, and Sunday will be no exception.
Meredith had moments of brilliance while filling in at right guard last season, but he was largely a disappointment and a point of frustration on the right side of the Tampa Bay offensive line. He'll have a shot at redemption starting this Sunday, but he has a very tough task ahead of him.

text: Just bought this, few things wrong with it. First is the gas tank leak, but that's fairly straightforward as a fix and I can do that. Loose shifter, shifts into gear find, but you cant tell what gear you're in by looking at the shifter, like when it's in first it looks like it's in neutral or 3rd. Cant tell at all. And then the interior lights don't work, exteriors work fine, and the dome light works, but the interior lights don't work, the seller said it happened when he installed an aftermarket CD player. Any idea how to get to finding the problem? It's not a fuse.

text: GREENFIELD, Wis. (WTAQ) - A suburban Milwaukee woman says she's glad to be alive after a mattress got stuck under her SUV, and it caused the vehicle to burst into flames. It happened in Minnesota on Interstate 494, south of the Twin Cities. Kathleen Rich of Greenfield and her friend Marcia Rogers escaped without a scratch. Rich said the mattress fell off another vehicle on the freeway – and she didn't see it until it was too late, and it got stuck under vehicle. Other drivers motioned to Rich to get her to pull over, and she stopped on an exit ramp. When they opened their doors, Rich said flames were shooting from the mattress. Another vehicle stopped to help – and after they got in, Rich and Rogers watched the SUV burst into flames.

It's hard to believe Ally is ONE! I had the joy of photographing her a few weeks after she was born and I can't believe it was already a year ago. We had so much fun heading out to the Pumpkin Patch at Uesugi Farms. I always enjoy the chance to spend time with the Borellos and to see how their family changes and grows. Here's just a few pictures from their session! Remember to leave them some love so they know you stopped by.

Life with Sisters | Children's Portrait Session
This was such a fun session for me since I get to watch these three kids daily from my kitchen window. Sometimes their antics with each other is better then any dinner show I could of paid for. I was so excited when I finally had the chance to photograph them and the hidden secret that their oldest has to live with……. Life with two little sisters!!!!!! These photos just make me giggle. The first one I think is my favorite.
New Wedding, Engagement, and Boudoir site is live| Leap Year Tradition
Well this is the year people! A year when you get that extra day to catch up on something. You get an extra 24 hours that you don't normally have. I'd love to know what your going to do with your extra time. What is leap day and why do we have it? The geeky version of why we have leap year is so that the Gregorian Calender ( that most of the world uses) lines up properly with the earth's rotation around the sun. The more fun and romantic version is that women can propose to men. Myths are that if a woman proposed to a man on Leap day he couldn't say no. It was a way for a woman to take control of her own love life and to help along those men who were sitting on the pot a little too long if you know what I mean. This was a tradition that was pretty rampant until the 1960′s and free love took control of the world.
Well for me no matter why I'm thankful for the extra day. Here at Jill Johnson photography it is a very exciting Leap Day because we are launching the beginning of our new sites. Yes sites, you heard me correctly. We will be launching our new wedding, engagement, and boudoir site today which can be found at www.jilljohnsonweddings.com. Hopefully in the next week or two our new site www.jilljohnsonkids.com will be completed as well. (It is currently live as well as a teaser but is still under construction). On top of all that our blog has been experiencing a new overhaul and will shine in it's full glory with all it's bells and whistles. It has been very exciting and busy around here as we worked on creating a new interactive and user friendly site.
Now is all of it complete? No, but honestly, when is a site ever completed? It is like a woman's wardrobe constantly changing and evolving. But I would love to point out some of the things about these new sites. First of all you can still find all of my work at www.jillljohnsonphotography.com. Here you'll find a landing page that can direct you to the site you are most interested in. It will also give you a sneak peak of some of our most recent gossip, news, and photos on the blog preview strip, and last but not least special flower buttons for you to share what you found with your friends, families, and social medias. Keep checking back because we are still adding more things to all of these sites as they evolve but for now we felt it was a great teaser.
The blog and the kid/creative portrait site will also have some of these great features as well as some other little tidbits that we'll share when they are closer to completion.
Most of all I would love to thank all the people who have helped me put this all together. It would have been released on the next leap year if not for their amazing help. Pamela Francisco of Pamela Francisco Illustration, Eric at Big Folio, Ken Leslie (blog builder extraordinaire),Luke Goodman for the films, Andy Mark, and of course all my fellow photo peeps for their support and suggestions.
I hope you enjoy looking over the new look and I would love to hear what you think! Stuff you love! Stuff you would still like to see! Suggestions will be taken in to consideration :). I love what I do and I"m so excited to be sharing just a little bit about my world.
Family Fun Fall Portraits | Brian, Tracy, and Ben
I've mentioned it numerous time but I love being able to watch and photograph my previous bride and grooms growing families. It is so fun to see how everything changes from two in love to watching that love grow for another little person. I enjoyed so much spending time with little Ben. He was so close to walking that I wanted to capture it for them. I bet just in the couple of weeks since we've done these photos he's off and running. Most babies give us about 20 minutes and he did great as he played with mom and dad and was just fascinated with the world around him at one of the local parks. He really liked the big red bridge! Congrats to Brian and Tracy on such a cute little guy.

Chris Matyszczyk brings a fresh and irreverent perspective to the tech world.
Headphones are available in a zillion styles, sizes, and price ranges. But we've cut through the clu
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Professional Studio Monitor Headphones are among the best available for less than $200, offering excellent sound and build quality.
While they're not in the same league as the step-up ATH-M50, the Audio-Technica ATH-M35 costs a lot less and offers impressive performance and decent build quality for the money -- plus it has the fold-up element that's missing from the ATH-M30.
While they're not in the same league as the step-up ATH-M50 headphones, the Audio-Technica ATH-M30 set costs a lot less and offers impressive performance and decent build quality for the money.
We hoped that the Audio-Technica's QuietPoint ATH-ANC7b noise-canceling headphones would deliver more bang for the buck than Bose's noise-canceling models--but they don't.
Audio-Technica's ATH-EW9 clip-on headphones combine graceful looks and sonics, but they won't rock your world.
Quibbles aside, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones are a modestly improved version of the already spectacular model they're based on, and among the best-sounding pairs you'll find for less than $200.
For those who can get a proper fit, the Audio-Technica ATH-CKM50A In-Ear Headphones offer rich and open sound in a compact package for a competitive price.
Pricing not available
The Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC1 headphones are a great option for frequent fliers, thanks to their compact, lightweight design, noise cancellation functionality, and good overall sound quality.
Offering a comfortable, secure fit and strong sound for a reasonable price, Audio-Technica's ATH-CKP500 earphones are one of the better in-ear sports headphone models available.
While they may not offer the perfect fit for everyone, the ATH-WS55 Solid Bass headphones offer impressive sound for the money.

Stained Glass Kitchen Cabinets
Stained glass has a quality to it that can add depth, richness, and a sense of age to a home. We spot it often as an accent in exterior windows, but not so much in the glass panels of kitchen cabinets. Here are a few instances of the latter:
From colorful examples to simple designs of leaded clear glass, these patterns in cabinet doors offer an extra decorative touch alongside a bit of transparency that shows off the contents within. We think this strikes a perfect harmony for those who would like glass doors but are afraid of everyone having a clear view into their cupboards. While these examples are all fairly traditional in design, we think this could work with a contemporary kitchen, too!

These are so beautiful. Especially that first one. I love the rustic, beat-up table for dining in.
(I hate to be one of those picky punks, but I feel I should make the comment: some of these are indeed examples of stained glass and some are, equally beautiful, leaded glass [without any stained glass panes].)
We have stained glass in our kitchen cabinets. Our house was built in the late 60's and the builder put the same stained glass pattern in the kitchen cabinets and beside the front door. Everyone that visits our home - love it!! We have ours back lit by using the under the cabinet lights - inside the cabinet.
I'm drooling over the gothic arches in the last picture. I think I just found my dream kitchen.

With school coming to an end, parents are beginning to think of how they can entertain their youngsters this Summer.
KTVF might have the answer as they will host their 4th annual Summer Activity Fair at the Civic Center inside Pioneer Park, beginning at 11am.
The event will bring together twenty–eight vendors with a number of ideas and concepts focused on providing an educational and entertaining outlet for the kids this Summer.
Nicia Rotermund, the coordinator for the fair, says parents will have a wide variety of camps and activities to choose from.
"Just go around walk around to the different vendors that are on site and ask questions.
Find out if its something that your child really wants to do.
Talk to the people in charge of the camps.
It's a great way to get more in depth information about a camp to see if your child really wants to attend or if there's an activity they are interested in."

the long ride home
By Gina at 8:59 AM | Labels: Colorado, existentialism, road trip, travel
Saying goodbye to dear friends and starting on the 14-hour journey back to the desert was bittersweet. A heavy veil of exhaustion fell down upon us a few days before we left. I underestimated how much energy is required vacationing with your kids when your partner is far away (Kris went home a couple weeks ahead of us). I underestimated how much time I'd need to see (truly SEE and spend time with) all our friends who we've missed so much. Miles sprung a fever out of nowhere and was only content being held, which derailed many of our plans the last few days. Though Jes assured me otherwise, I began to feel we were outstaying our welcome. I missed Kris.
I trust her when she says we could stay forever. I think it's more that we all felt a tension between wanting the fun to continue, recognizing how precious our time in Colorado is, and yet also craving just a tad more space. Space to sleep apart from one another. Space to have temper tantrums without disrupting the equilibrium of the group.
Of course, the moment we pulled away and waved goodbye, space didn't matter.
Day One of the drive was about grieving. Wanting to be home, but not wanting to leave. Not understanding why it takes SO long to get from one home to another. Watching the sky-scraping, snow-capped beauty outside my windshield, then seeing it fade in my rear-view mirror. Miles felt much better, but still wanted Mama, and so he screamed for me from the backseat. It was too painful for him to see me but not be able to touch me. I spent a couple hours with one hand on the wheel and my other hand reaching back to hold his foot.
Day One was about being between. Not here nor there. Pulling further away from friends but yet still too far from Daddy, from the comforts of our home. B cried, saying she just wanted Micah and Dana and Ben and all her Arizona friends to move to Colorado and we could all stay there forever. Old friends and new. All in one place.
I felt the same way. But then, refreshed by a night in a comfortable hotel, we embarked on Day Two. We crossed from alpine landscape into desert, and I watched the outside temperature gauge climb, and I saw the soaring buttes, saguaros and alien-like redrock formations, and I realized a small part of me had missed this landscape in all its harsh oddities.
We passed a sign pointing to the Grand Canyon, and had I not been anxious to get home to see Kris, I would have turned. I realized we have so much more of the desert to show our children. And yes, we sorely miss the mountains and snow and green meadows and old friends. But we can trust they will be there next time we visit.
As I write this, Kris is trying to entertain the kids and let me rest. But they want to be with me. B keeps bringing me strawberries (one for her, one for me) and we're eating them in bed and talking about our adventure. Her lips are bright red with strawberry juice. She just made me promise we'll do it all again next year.

the pet bug
Exhibit A: the pet moth. As in, "Mommy, I LOVE him and he LOVES me and I want him to sleep with me in my bed and I'm going to take him home to Arizona."
She wanted to write a letter home to her friend Micah about the pet moth, so we did. Micah also has a nurturing tendency toward bugs...for instance, the 4-inch-long beetle he found next to his pool (that freaked me the heck out).
Mr. Moth is still with us, despite a scare when we lost him and B was convinced he'd been eaten by coyotes.
I figure this is a healthy balance to the princess obsession, no?

Sunday marked the end of my 365 project. This is a shot from our trip to South Park City, a preserved 1800s Colorado mining town (and the namesake for the cartoon). Normally I wouldn't encourage my child to sit on a railroad track, but since the train wasn't operational, it made for a cute photo op.
I haven't been disciplined about editing and posting photos, but I do have all 365 photos cataloged and ready to turn into a photo book. It's amazing to look back at the past year in pictures. Miles especially has changed so much since the first shot, don't you think?
On August 1st I'll start another 365. If you want to join me, leave a note in the comments. Or if you're partway through your 365 already, tell me what you've learned so far. For me, I was surprised at how difficult it is to stay on top of not only taking photos, but uploading them and keeping them organized. Also, it's a challenge to discover new subject matter every day. Even with two cute kids around, I wanted to keep it fresh and interesting, which wasn't easy.

Colorado: a love story
Fifteen years ago, Kris packed his mountain bike in a cardboard box and boarded a Greyhound bus in Appleton, Wisconsin. He rode all the way to Silverthorne, Colorado, 36 hours total. He had a couple hundred bucks to his name and a dream to make the Rockies his playground for a summer. He'd never traveled west of Minnesota, had no job lined up, no friends in Colorado and no place to stay. But that didn't bother him as much as it did his mother. Within a couple days he found maintenance work at one of the ski resorts and a second job cooking at a small upscale cafe on Lake Dillon. He ate Chex Mix, which was a sponsor at the resort (and thus free) until his first paycheck cleared and he could afford real food. And, as he'd dreamed, he rode his mountain bike a few hours every day.
So began his romance with Colorado.
Last week, Kris took us back to the cafe on Lake Dillon where he worked. We ate a huge, delicious brunch of Eggs Benedict and pancakes and all the fixin's. Then, he introduced the kids to the lake. The place where he fell in love with snow-speckled mountains and gushing rivers and icy alpine lakes brimming with trout. (Of course, it would be several more years before he and I would meet back East, move to Boulder, get married and have our children in the shadow of these mountains. But that's another love story.)

hiking with kids
One of the first items on our mountain agenda: Take the kids hiking. But of course, not just any hike would do. The ever-adventurous hubs had his sights set on an alpine lake perched at nearly 12,000 feet. Way too steep for the kids to walk on their own, so we loaded them up in backpacks. Yep. Mommy and Daddy were pack mules.
Side note: Comfortable child carrier packs make a world of difference. Thanks to having worked for outdoor magazines, we've tested several, and in the photo we're wearing our two favorites. Kris is wearing a Deuter Kid Comfort. I'm wearing a Macpac Vamoose. (We were not paid to endorse these packs. We just really love how comfortable and functional they are.)
We hiked around some old mining ruins and abandoned log cabins, which the kids thought were pretty neat. And we crossed a couple of snow fields. It's always fun to see snow in July! At one point, the trail climbs so steeply that we used an old mill cable as a hand rail. I was thankful that our little daredevils were secure on our backs and not trying to scramble up the rocks themselves.
The payoff for a tough climb? Lunch, served by the lake at 11,800 feet.
After exploring an old mine car and looking for fish, birds and marmots, we descended the trail. The steady sway of our footfall lulled the kids to sleep in their packs.
Confession: I love running into other hikers on the trail and hearing their praise when they see we're hiking with young children. A few hikers were suffering their way up the trail as we were descending all-smiles, and they said "wow! you guys are tough!" It's not so much that I like to brag, but I like busting myths like "you can't hike tough trails when you have kids." or "you can't go backpacking with young children."
Of course you can. You just have to work a little harder for it...and have more patience, which in turn makes you appreciate the destination all the more.

why we mamas cling to our boys
By Gina at 8:38 PM | Labels: boys, Confessions, existentialism, gender, parenting
My boy, with his blue headlight eyes and hair so blonde it's transparent. Get him wet and he's bald as the day he was born.
My boy who can barely say other, simpler words like "milk" and "car."
He fastens himself to me like a baby chimpanzee. Wherever I go, he follows and cries "down! down!" when really he means "up! I want up!" He's happiest in a soft carrier strapped to my back or perched on my hip.
I'm tired. But I stop myself short of complaining. One day I will miss this. I will miss cooking awkwardly, uncomfortably, almost dangerously with my left hand while the boy's chubby bottom occupies my right. I will miss the sound of his bare feet slapping the tile floor to the rhythm of mama mama mama.
There's a theory…not mine, but one I'll adopt: Boys soak up their mamas when they're small. They devour every ounce of nurturing. They kiss their daddies on the lips and burrow deep into mama's chest because society has not yet told them not to. One day they will steel themselves against these tender, vulnerable, needy moments. So, for now, they crave more than their share. Deep in their round bellies, they stow away this raw, pure, naked love to draw upon later.
I scoop him up one more time and he says "sass-satch," spit flying from his cotton candy lips. And I say, "yes, Sasquatch." It's a hint of what is to come, this word that's hard to pronounce and beyond his comprehension. One day, sooner than I would like, he will know what Sasquatch means and he won't want to cling to me quite so tightly. Independence and masculinity will drop down like a veil between us.
I sense the fragility. So, with sore biceps, and a mind that craves more sleep, more quiet, I do my best to fill his well. And he fills mine.

road trip survival tools
By Gina at 12:51 PM | Labels: how-to, road trip, surface of the sun, travel
How do you survive a 14-hour, 2-day road trip with two toddlers and only one parent? Here are a few tricks that worked for us....
1. Set the kids up with toys and snacks at arm's reach.
2. When you see something interesting, stop and take a closer look.
3. Pack treats. Don't be afraid to use them.
4. Stay at the most comfortable hotel you can afford. There were plenty of $45/night lodges on our route, but since I was traveling alone with the kids, I wanted something a little more comfortable and secure (I prefer when the rooms don't open to the outside). So that meant spending a little bit more. But it was worth it. Also, I asked the front desk for a port-a-crib so that I wouldn't have to unpack ours from the car.
A friend gave us this tip: Pack a small overnight bag so that you don't have to unload your big suitcases en route. In it was our toiletries, and change of clothes for each of us.
5. Remember where you're going and where you've been. We stopped at the Four Corners monument and the kids stood squarely on the quadripoint. So their little Crocs were in all four states at once. They had no idea what it meant. But they liked watching people gather there and perform Twister-like moves--right hand Utah, left foot Colorado! right toe New Mexico! Left pinky Arizona! To me, though, there was another important measurement. I glanced down and saw this on my dashboard:
55 degrees is exactly 55 degrees cooler than home the morning we left. This was at the top of a mountain pass. Our destination is more like 70 degrees, which is right around perfect.
A few other tips that were helpful for us: Break up the trip with activities like coloring time, DVD time, music/singalong time, snack time. Play I spy. Let the kids choose places to stop (within reason)....this is how we ended up at the giant duck.
If you're driving through remote areas, bring a small toddler potty for roadside bathroom stops (it happens).
Have patience. Call a friend. Have more patience. Drink coffee. You will get there eventually.

About100 boys may have died between 1900 and the 1970s at a controversial youth prison in the Florida Panhandle, including seven boys who perished following escape attempts, according to a new report that raises troubling questions about the now-shuttered Dozier School for Boys.
As state juvenile justice administrators seek to sell the Arthur G. Dozier property in rural Marianna, archaeologists and anthropologists with the University of South Florida are conducting an exhaustive archeological and historical analysis of the site in an effort to locate the burial grounds of scores of children. In a 114-page report released Monday, researchers concluded that a minimum of 98 children died at Dozier between 1911 and 1973.
The largest gravesite is on the north side of the prison camp, next to a garbage dump on what for years was called Dozier's "colored" section. Though the cemetery holds 31 graves marked with PVC pipe crosses, the report said the markers do not correspond to the actual interments, and it is likely that an additional 20 children are buried there.
Dozier, which opened as the Florida State Reform School on Jan. 1, 1900, remained in continuous operation until June 30, 2011, when the state Department of Juvenile Justice shut it down amid a years-long controversy over the physical and sexual abuse of children.
Operating with a permit issued by the state Division of Historical Resources, the USF team has only until the end of January to complete its project In early January, USF researchers will return to Dozier's south parcel, which housed white children and contains the prison's administrative buildings. Because Dozier remained segregated for much of its existence, researchers believe they will find additional grave sites once they look more closely.
DJJ secretary Wansley Walters said in a statement Monday her agency will continue to cooperate with the university research team.
"I am profoundly aware of the historical significance" of Dozier, Walters said. "One of the decisions I am most proud of is that this administration closed [it] in 2011."
In the fall of 2008, a dozen middle-aged men from throughout the state came forward and said they were raped or mercilessly beaten — or both — at the Marianna campus. The "White House Boys," as some of the men dubbed themselves after the squat white-washed cottage where they were whipped, have since spawned at least two books and a movement to extract some type of compensation from the Florida Legislature.
Men who were incarcerated there described being whipped with a metal-lined leather strap, sometimes leading to unconsciousness. Some said they were taken to the "rape room," where they said officers sodomized boys of their choosing.
In October 2008, about a half-dozen of the men returned to Dozier. There, DJJ administrators and Dozier staff dedicated a plaque to them and planted a young crepe myrtle tree alongside the now decrepit White House building. Some of the men sobbed as they toured the inside of the cottage, where they described brutal beatings to a small gathering of reporters.
Dozier records reviewed by USF show that more than 50 children were buried on the school grounds, and 31 were shipped elsewhere for burial. School administrators did not record the burial location for 22 other children.
Even in death, the black children at Dozier received unequal treatment: African-American children were three times more likely to be buried in an unspecified location than were their white peers, the report said.
Prison records suggest administrators minimized the number of deaths that occurred there in reports to the state — especially when it came to white children.
Biennial reports to state lawmakers early in the 20th century "often listed fewer deaths than what is listed in the school ledgers," the report said. In a July 1926 report, for example, the school superintendent told lawmakers that four children had died in 1925 and 1926 — all of them black. But school ledgers showed six children had died during that time, including two white boys.
One of the boys whose death was not listed in 1926 was a child named Thomas Curry, a white boy who died of blunt trauma to the head, according to a death certificate. Records said Curry died away from the prison campus after he escaped.
Records suggest those who escaped from the North Florida prison sometimes met a violent death: Two boys who escaped died of blunt trauma, and two died of gunshot wounds to the head or chest.
Erin H. Kimmerle, an associate professor and forensic anthropologist who led the project, said it did not surprise her that some escapees were treated harshly. Decades ago, she said, rural prisoners were largely treated as a captive labor pool for local agriculture and industry, and records suggest Dozier's children may have served a similar purpose.
Changes in state law and policy that allowed "incorrigible" children and even orphans to be sent to the reform school, and required longer sentences for inmates, suggest "that financial incentives were underlying motivating factors" for the youth prison's operation, the report said. In 1906, for example, a superintendent complained he lacked adequate prisoners to harvest the corn crop.
Children put out to work were overseen by local labor bosses, who were given broad authority to punish the children as they saw fit, said Kimmerle.
"I do think that, at the time, it was lawful for them to shoot those who ran away," Kimmerle said.

GameCast: April 19th - Cardinals vs. Cubs CANCELED
Update: This game has been canceled. A very special Series Recap will be published either late tonight or early tomorrow.
Todd Wellemeyer (1-1, 4.50 ERA) vs. Ted Lilly (2-0, 3.86 ERA)
The first meeting between the Cubs and Cardinals has been everything it was billed to be. We've had one frustrating loss and two down-to-the-wire games decided late by big homeruns. We've seen the failure of our starting pitchers and of their bullpen. We've witnessed timely hits, cutting defensive plays, and so far the Cubs have two wins to show for it.
Today's game, then, is pretty important. These teams are tied for first in the Central. And who knows - a Chicago win today just might be the moment where they pull ahead and stay that way for the duration of the '09 season. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Who's Hot
The Cubs offense ...
Soriano. .292 on the season. 5 homeruns, 8 walks, .393 OBP and 1.039 OPS.
Fukudome. 9 of his 15 hits have been for extra bases (3 homers, 6 doubles). He leads the team with 9 walks. His AVG is .375; his OBP is .480; his OPS is 1.230.
Theriot. .400 AVG, .468 OBP, 3 steals in 4 tries.
Ramirez. .333 AVG. 3 homers, 11 RBI, one Clutchy McClutcherson moment.
Lee. .381 AVG in his last 5 games, 0 double plays and counting.
Who's Not
... except for Soto, Fontenot, and Miles
Soto. 2 for 19. On the bright side, he drew 3 walks yesterday and he doesn't appear to be pressing in order to compensate for his crappy bat skills.
Fontenot. His .222 AVG is bad. (Duh.) His .364 OBP and .725 OPS, not too bad. He'll straighten out.
Miles. At least Mike's direct competition for second base isn't exactly setting the field on fire. Mr. Aaron Miles is 2 for 15 with a .369 OPS.
As a team the Cubs are batting a mere .258, but their OBP is a spectacular 101 points higher. There are other teams out there with better OBPs so far, but only 3 have actually drawn more walks.
On the pitching front, it's been very hit and miss with the Cubs. But Ted Lilly in his last outing was mostly miss for his opponents. He probably won't throw another 1-hitter today, but I anticipate him having another good outing.
And wouldn't it just be a perfect start to 2009 for the Cubs to take 3 of 4 at home from their rivals?

Available Projects
We are installing windows that are two different heights (Trying to save money and reusing windows). My question is should you make the top of the windows the same or the bottom. Thank you for your posts!
Jared S.
Are any of the windows in rooms where children would have access to them?
If so, I would want those windows higher rather than lower, so that the bottoms were even but the tops were not.
Or you could center the windows on each other, so the tops and bottoms don't line up, but the middle does. Use your 'design' abilities to 'see' what it will look like. You can also use blue masking tape and tape it out to visually see it. But for an egress window the sill is not allowed to be any higher than 44 inches from finished flooring. And any windows close to floor level have to be tempered glass, also windows near doors.
The general rule is to line up the tops - at 6' - 10" off the floor.

HO-NO: Listen to Johnny Depp's Controversial Christmas Song
Johnny Depp never ceases to amaze me. He's recently decided to lend his voice for the offensive lyrics that comprise a controversial new Christmas song by the British band Babybird.
In a move he most certainly had to see coming, conservative groups Christian Coalition and Focus on the Family have lashed out at the actor at this blasphemous slap in the face to both religion and the holidays.
From what I can understand of the gibberish, the song tells the story of a group of teenagers who hire a Jesus look-alike to organize a stag night- which we could call a bachelor party down here. Over the course of the drunken night, the son of God ends up passed out and possibly dead, and it's revealed that he's not just a copycat, but the real Jesus.
Obviously some groups would have a problem with this.
And, because the entire time he sort of channels his drunken Jack Sparrow voice I have decided it's easier to read some of the offending garbage.
Such lyrical gems include: "Saw a man in a bar with his hair like a lady/ Bloody thorns round his ear like he was a crazy/ He had holes in his hands and a cross for a spine/ Crushed a berry in his Perrier and called it wine."
It continues with: "I can't remember where I was last night/ Think I was hanging naked off a church spire/ Tied by my ankles to a weather vane/ Felt like I was Jesus on fire/ Cuffed to the bumper of a big truck/ I begged my dad to take me to a strip bar/ Drank kerosene through my eyeballs/ Drove myself home in a stolen car."
And my personal favorite: "Saw a man lying on the floor beaten up/ He had a fish finger sandwich and a yellow M coffee cup/ I bent down drunk and tried to pick him up/ But when I turned around I could see it was Jesus."
What is so stupid about this whole thing is that obviously this was created with the intent of making people mad. For Johnny Depp or the Babybird's to say that's not the case is just ridiculious. The whole song is essentially about killing Jesus- which no matter how you view religion is not a harmless message.
Listen to "Jesus Stag Night Club" here and let me know what you think..
Are people too easily offended this time of year? Or is the cause for the outrage totally justified?

Two former employees of the Bob Rohrman Auto Group are suing the company, alleging that they and other employees were forced to give up part of their wages as a way to help dealerships make up profit losses. The practice, they allege, has been enforced for at least 20 years.
Glenn Meier and Gerald Oslance filed the class-action suit Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court. The two allege that during their tenures with the company, the Rohrman Auto Group illegally recouped losses from the wages of management-level employees.
"As with most for-profit businesses, Defendants experience business losses," the suit stated. "Unlike most for-profit enterprises, however, Defendants do not bear such losses as ordinary costs of doing business."
Meier and Oslance both worked for Rohrman Auto Group as finance and insurance managers for 21 and 27 years, respectively, the suit said.
A representative from Bob Rohrman Auto Group could not be reached Tuesday evening.
The suit alleges violations of the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act and seeks reimbursement of wages.

Teen Queen Through To QFs
Published July 22, 2010 12:00
PORTOROZ, Slovenia - The highest-ranked teenager in the world raced into the quarterfinals of the Banka Koper Slovenia Open on Thursday, as Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova crushed Rossana de los Ríos, 63 60.
Pavlyuchenkova, the No.3 seed, broke away from 4-3 in the first set with eight straight games, cruising to victory over the Paraguayan in 67 minutes.
"I'm happy with my performances so far here," said Pavlyuchenkova, who has won 25 of the last 30 games she has played, having rallied from 0-4 in the first set to beat Alberta Brianti in the first round, 75 61. "I came here to do my best and play well, so we'll see how things go the rest of the tournament."
Check out all the best pics from Portoroz in the gallery!
Awaiting Pavlyuchenkova in the quarters is Johanna Larsson, who was down 5-3 first set but won 10 of the next 11 games to beat Maria Elena Camerin, 75 61.
"I struggled in the beginning, but I just kept going," Larsson said. "I didn't want to come off court feeling I didn't give it my 100%. I had to do something."
Larsson reached her first Sony Ericsson WTA Tour quarterfinal at Prague last week and has now equaled that feat one week later.
Other winners were Ksenia Pervak and Anastasiya Yakimova. Pervak beat qualifier Alexandra Panova in the first match of the day, rallying from 1-4 in the second set to win, 62 75; while Yakimova, also a qualifier, advanced past No.1 seed Jelena Jankovic - who injured her left ankle - with a 16 63 10 score.
Pervak and Panova are close friends, which was tough on the young Pervak.
"We are very good friends - we are sharing a room, so it was a little strange to play against her," Pervak said. "I'm really happy I won and got to my first quarterfinal though. I hope I will be prepared for my next match."
Both Pavlyuchenkova-Larsson and Yakimova-Pervak are first-time meetings.

5 Helpful Makeup Tricks for Anyone Who Wears Glasses
Based in Washington D.C., Ayren Jackson-Cannady is so savvy that we wished she lived closer to NYC so that we could swap products with her. This beauty writer knows what's up (she's written for Fitness, Glamour, and Gloss Daily) and we're excited to have her sharing her know-how and multi-culti beauty expertise as a contributing editor.
(Photo: Refinery29.com)
Whenever I see a woman with cool glasses (wayfarers are my favorite!) and standout makeup, I get seriously jealous. I look more four-eyes than fabulous when I try to recreate the makeup and eyeglasses look. I wanted to find out what I was doing wrong, so I appealed to a couple of makeup artists for some answers.
Curl Those Lashes
Your top eyelashes should be curled, says Carl Ray, a makeup artist in Washington, D.C. "Curling will prevent them from touching the lenses of your glasses."
Pile On The Liner…
If your frames are bold, try to make eyeliner thicker and a little more smoky near the lash line—but only on your top lid. "I like to keep bottom lashes mascara and liner free to avoid casting a shadow on the under eye area," adds Ray.
…And the Mascara
Makeup artist and host of iVillage's DIY Beautify Andrew Sotomayor says that lenses obstruct other people's ability to see your eyes, so wearing an extra coat of mascara or false lashes will bring things back into focus.
Save Shimmer For Days that You Wear Contacts
Blush or bronzer should be minimal, says Ray. Steer clear of too much shimmer, which will compete with your lenses.
Pair Your Specks with a Strong Lip
"Think of wearing glasses like wearing smoky eyes," says Sotomayor. It's fine to pair them with strong, pale, or natural lip colors. Don't be afraid to team your glasses up with a strong lip (like YSL's Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick in Forbidden Burgundy) will give all of your features equal attention. A soft lip will keep all eyes on…well, your eyes.
Don't miss the rest of Ayren Jackson-Cannady's brilliant beauty tips.

a question for attachment-savvy parents
1. Dandy wakes up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and Chickadee and I, well, we are very fond of
lazy restful mornings.
2. Dandy wakes up starving.
3. Dandy loves to cook.
From an attachment point of view, I'm supposed to be the great food-dispenser, the goddess of all things yummy. From a practical point of view, he is the obvious choice for breakfast cook.
Am I doing him a disservice by letting him provide breakfast?

You're under no obligation to meet with someone who wants to make a pitch for City business. If you don't want to meet, here's a letter you might use that politely declines the meeting but encourages doing business with the City.
***Solicitation Response Template***
If, however, this is a product or service that you think might benefit the City and its citizens, there's no reason not to learn more -- but you must do so in a way that ensures that the City will get maximum value for tax dollars and that doesn't either unfairly advantage or disadvantage a prospective vendor. Your actions must also, of course, comply with applicable procurement and ethics rules.
First, suggest that the prospective vendor send you information about the product or service. If you want more information, it's fine to meet with the prospective vendor in your office to get it. You may not accept a meal or an invitation to an event from a prospective vendor to discuss doing business with the City.
Then, if you think that the proposed product or service would benefit the City, you may not simply procure it from the prospective vendor. Instead, you must follow procurement rules, which require your department to – except in very limited circumstances – solicit bids or proposals for the product or service. The prospective vendor who approached you about the product or service will then have an opportunity to respond to the solicitation, along with any other interested prospective applicants.
IntegrityWorks offers guidance for commonly-occurring situations. These are not the only situations in which ethics rules would apply; they are simply the most common ones. Other guidance may be added to this site as situations warrant.
These guidelines are general guidelines. Because each situation presents its own set of facts, this general guidance isn't advice on which you can legally rely. If you want to be absolutely sure that your conduct complies with applicable ethics laws, you should seek advice before taking action.

This interesting little museum displays relics from the East African Railway. There are train and ship models, photographs, tableware and oddities from the history of the railway.
Hell's Gate is an experience indeed. The park is truly unique, as it allows you to walk or cycle unguided across its breadth.
This charming farmhouse is where Karen Blixen, author of the popular novel Out of Africa , lived from 1914 to 1931. She left after a series of personal tragedies, but the lovely colonial house has been preserved as a museum.
The bulky, atmospheric Lamu Fort squats on Lamu's main square like a weary intruder among the airy Swahili roofs. The building of this massive structure was begun by the Sultan of Paté in 1810 and completed in 1823.
In the late 1800s, before the British decided to nip German expansion into Tanganyika in the bud, the Germans regarded Lamu as an ideal base from where they could successfully and safely exploit the interior.
With around 3000 donkeys active on Lamu, Equus asinus is still the main form of transport here, and this sanctuary was established by the International Donkey Protection Trust of Sidmouth, UK, to improve the lot of the island's hard-working beasts of burden.
Nairobi's Jamia Mosque is a lovely building in typical Arabic Muslim style, with all the domes, marble and Quranic inscriptions you'd expect from an important Islamic site, and the traditional row of shops down one side to provide rental income for its upkeep.
Kenya's National Museum is an imposing building amid lush leafy grounds just outside the city centre. It has a good range of cultural, geological and natural-history exhibits. Volunteer guides offer tours in English, Dutch and French. The 1st floor contains excellent contemporary East African art; as all the items are for sale the displays change regularly.
The National Archives live in the former Bank of India building right in the bustling heart of Nairobi. It is a vast collection of documents and reference material. The ground-floor atrium and gallery display an eclectic selection of contemporary art, historical photos of Nairobi, cultural artefacts, furniture and tribal objects.
The Langata Giraffe Centre, run by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, is a sanctuary for the rare Rothschilds giraffe. Here you can observe, hand-feed or even kiss the giraffes from a raised circular wooden structure, and it is quite an experience. It's a good place to get the close-up photographs that eluded you on safari.
This rivals Amboseli as Kenya's second most-visited park. It's one of the best places in Kenya to see leopards, and white rhinos are commonly seen at the lake's southern end. But the park's most famous attraction is the colony of pelicans and (occasionally) flamingos that ring the lake in thousands.
The Go-Down Arts Centre, a converted warehouse in the Industrial Area, contains ten separate art studios and is rapidly becoming a hub for Nairobi's burgeoning arts scene, bringing together visual and performing arts with regular exhibitions, shows, workshops and open cultural nights.
The Christian Holy Ghost Cathedral is a very European hunk of neo-Gothic buttressed architecture, with massive fans in the walls to cool its former colonial congregations.
Another esoterically designed temple is the Sikh Temple. As always, shoes should be removed before entering this building.

"Lifetap does produce threat, however small. You gain mana from the lifetap - that mana gain produces threat."
Not only threat, but threat on everything--same as healing does.
For those who doubt what Healer said: try it. Have one player enter aggro range and run back and the second lifetap (if not full mana), evocate or whatever. The mob(s) will come straight to #2.
Mana, health, I think even energy & rage regens generate small AoE threat. My mage once pulled aggro from a bad tank in heroic SH by bandaging to prove the point.
Great article again from the best writer on the site about the mechanics and play of the game.

Freshman forward Nick Arenz from Onalaska and red-shirt freshman Ryan Bross have informed Green Bay Phoenix mens basketball coach Brian Wardle they intend to transfer. The 7-1 Bross never saw the floor this year while Arenz had limited playing time, appearing in just 16 games for less than 100 minutes total. The emergence of young forwards Greg Mayes and Jordan Fouse, along with an incoming freshman class that includes Turner Botz and Kenneth Lowe of Little Chute High School could make it difficult for Arenz to find playing time. Wardle says he will help both players pursue other schools. They are the second and third players to leave the program this spring. Guard Kam Cerroni left the team in February and he's expected to enroll at St. Norbert College.

Is Silver Wheaton Really The Best Way To Play Silver?
SomaBull • Sun, Sep. 21 • 30 Comments
- Silver Wheaton has far outperformed silver over the last 5 years, but that doesn't make it the best way to play silver.
- First Majestic Silver and Endeavour Silver have performed even better than Silver Wheaton during that time due to their enormous production growth.
- Silver Wheaton doesn't have the same kind of cash flow leverage at the moment as other silver companies do.
- While Silver Wheaton has been a great performer over the last 5 years, I don't think it will outperform other stocks in the sector should silver move higher.
