I just bought ANOTHER sketchbook. I hope this one is THE ONE. I found out that Moleskine makes BIG sketchbooks! Who knew? Not me. I bought one. A4 size, 8.5 x 12. I hope I will like it.
My favorite sketchbook of all time is out of print (Running Rhino Sketch Journal) and I've been trying to find a suitable replacement. Nothing will ever be as good as my beloved Rhino Sketch Journal. I drew in them for TEN YEARS. The paper took anything and everything I threw at it and it always came out fantastic. Ink and markers especially. I think I actually cried a tear when I got the confirmation from Running Rhino that I wouldn't ever be able to get my hands on this sketchbook ever again.
Le sigh!
I know this sounds weird (or maybe it doesn't?), but half of my inspiration for making art is loving the materials I'm working with. I used to draw ALL THE TIME. Then I couldn't find my sketchbook anymore. I feel like part of the reason I don't draw so much anymore is that I haven't been able to find a new sketchbook that I love.
But life goes on I suppose. I will try the Moleskine and if it still doesn't do it for me I will keep looking! If all else fails, I will find a paper I like and make my own.

this wiki
Real Name: Dorothy Lee Barnett
Aliases: Lee Barnett
Wanted For: Abduction
Missing Since: April 24, 1994
Details: Dorothy Lee Barnett and Benjamin Harris Todd met in 1987 in Charleston, South Carolina. They began dating the fall of 1990 and within a few months, Dorothy had moved in with Benjamin. He claims that Dorothy had two sides to her: a bright and vivacious side when she was out in public, but a dark and moody side when she was with him, and she also had several temper tantrums. The couple married on December 28, 1991, and in the first few months they were happy, but Dorothys outbursts soon began and turned into violence. One night, Benjamin remembers awaking to find Dorothy banging her head on the wall for no apparent reason, and he had enough and in October of 1992 he filed for divorce. On May 6, 1993, Savanna Catherine Todd was born and a battle of visitation rights soon began.
A representative from the court was asked to protect the baby's interests. Dorothy and Benjamin both went under psychiatric evaulations; Dorothy was determined to bi-polar disorder and Benjamin was given full custody while she was given visitation rights every other weekend. On Friday April 22, 1994, Dorothy picked up Savanna from Benjamin's mother's house for her fifth visit and on Saturday, Dorothy asked a friend for a ride to downtown Charleston. She and Savanna have not been seen since. Dorothy was helped in her flight by the Children of the Underground, which was an organization that helped mothers take their children away from supposedly abusive husbands, although Benjamin Todd denied this. There have been several sightings of Dorothy and Savannah since 1994, but they have never been found. Dorothy is wanted for unlawful flight and violating a custody order. She is 5'4", 105 pounds, has blond hair, blue eyes, and would now be 50 years old.
Extra Notes: This case first aired on the October 20, 1995 episode of Unsolved Mysteries.
Results: Captured. Dorothy Lee Barnett has since been captured since she vanished with her daughter twenty years ago. She was arrested in September 2013 in Australia's Sunshine Coast where she was living by Australian Federal Police on an extradition warrant issued by Justice Minister Michael Keenan, The Australian reports. No details yet as to what will happen to Savanna who is now twenty-years old. She has recently been found and is now in custody on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

A Planned Unassisted Home Birth or Free Birth ... a delightful choice.
An Unexpected, Unassisted Homebirth ... Your Worst Nightmare?
A planned unassisted home birth or free birth can be the highlight of your life. Free Birthers take more responsibility than any other group of expectant parents.
If on the other hand your planned hospital birth ends up in an unexpected home birth or your midwife doesn't show up you want to feel safe and confident in your own skills.
The unexpected in childbirth is a reality...
... whether you are planning an unassisted home birth or accidentally have one.
''My wife got out the door, turned around and said THE BABY IS COMING! She got as far as the hall. Because of The Pink Kit Package we trusted each other and had no fear. What a difference from our horrible first birth. Totally unexpected birth but incredibly beautiful'.
Ralph and Katherine ...
'Our planned unassisted birth was made much better because we had a set of birth skills that not only enriched our experience but also gave us the deep confidence that our decision was the right one'.
Shelly and Brian N ...
Because all pregnant women will give birth, all pregnant mothers-to-be should be preparing their pregnant body to become a birthing body regardless of where or how they plan to give birth. However, an unassisted home birth or free birth requires a consciousness that other expectant families can sometimes ignore because there is always the medical back-up. If you plan an unassisted home birth or free birth you have a responsibility to yourself and your baby: you must learn birthing skills both to prepare your body and to make actual birth as successful as possible.
Birthing Better with The Pink Kit Method® multi-media resource gives you the essential skills you need to both enhance your experience and safeguard your baby and your body.
- Skills always open the door to increased confidence and intuition.
- The people with you can share the same skills and support your efforts to give birth and your baby's birthing efforts.
- Skills build your family into an even tighter knit unit.
- Skills can hugely reduce the potential for delayed dilation of the cervix as well as delay in 2nd Stage.
There is no way to know what your birth will be like. Throughout the world where there is absolutely NO medical care, anything and everything that happens at birth is 'normal' and 'natural' even if it's unwanted or uncommon. No matter what your preconception about birth may be, the truth is that you cannot predict how your birth with happen; what you can do is prepare to meet any challenges head on with The Pink Kit skills.
Potential risks in childbirth/pregnancy are real
Choosing to have an unassisted home birth or free birth does not exempt you for potential risks. You know that.
Being a skilled birthing woman and having a skilled birth coaching dad, friend or relative who is with you can make a huge difference in both your experience and in helping to reduce potential problems that might drive you to the hospital.
If for some reason medical concerns take you to hospital, your skills will work for you there as well.
Give yourself permission to birth well anywhere
Giving birth is not just about the place, it's about how you manage and cope with the experience.
No pregnant family likes the unexpected in pregnancy or childbirth to crop up, but it is a reality. Skills transcend 'choice' because if 'choices' need to change, skills are the behavior you can put into action, regardless of circumstances.
Skills are about how you birth not whether you birth. If you want an unassisted home birth or free birth that is far more intimate and conscious then choose to become skilled expectant parents.
Is an unassisted birth the furthest thing from your mind?
Any mother-to-be or father-to-be should be skilled at giving birth or being to help a woman give birth. Birth should not be a terrifying experience particularly if it happens quickly. Learning Birthing Better with The Pink Kit Method® pregnancy and childbirth skills will give you the confidence to bring your baby into the world anywhere. This doesn't mean you want to birth at home unassisted but if it happens at home or in the car on the way to hospital neither you as a father-to-be or mother-to-be should be afraid.
Expectant families who plan an unassisted home birth or free birth or unexpectedly have an unassisted home birth want the same thing ... success, safety and no fear. Preparing your body and having skills to employ if the unexpected happens can give you the positive birthing experience you long for.

Meet Anelise. She came into this world with the gift of JOY. She is an enthusiastic, hard working young girl who radiates positivity and captures the hearts of all who spend time with her.
While Anelise is most often seen smiling, she does have a myriad of challenges in her every day life that most folks just take for granted.
To bring a specifically trained social dog into her experience will offer tremendous improvement in: social situations, independence, confidence and overall well being. Perhaps most importantly, this companion offers her unconditional LOVE and provides her with special attention anytime she is needing it.
A NEADS dog will greatly soften the moments of overwhelment that Anelise experiences on a regular basis, and will bring her back to her JOY!

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is George Breault and I've struggled every day with Multiple sclerosis for the past 24 years and have been confined to a wheelchair 21 of those years. I am determined to stay independent as long as possible. However, with the disease progressing that is getting to be more and more challenging every day. Therefore, the time has come for me to consider having a service dog to assist me with daily functions that sometimes seem impossible. I believe a service dog will provide me with the confidence necessary to maintain an independent life style.
I have had moderate to severe hearing loss since birth. I have always strived to be independent and not have my hearing loss be the driving force of my life. I am a School Psychologist, so my professional life is dedicated to advocating for children with special needs and supporting their families and teachers.

Sue is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and works in a state psychiatric hospital and recovery center. She has been working as part of Deaf Services for over 20 years and has been in the field of mental health for 30 years. As part of the NEADS puppy raising program Sue has brought these NEADS pups into the hospital for over two years and has seen firsthand how the pups relate to, bond with and bridge the gap between therapist and client. Therapeutic dogs effect these clients by providing that unconditional love and trust that is so hard to build with clients who may suffer from severe trauma and symptoms of mental illness. Bringing a therapeutic dog with her to work daily would greatly impact patient care in a positive way. Many of the clients Sue works with are Deaf and language is never a barrier when interacting with the dogs. Trust can be difficult for some individuals who suffer from illness and trauma. These dogs can provide individuals with effortless, joyful support and appreciation and will not ask for anything in return.
Hi Everyone,

I am excited to be joining the NEADS family and developing a partnership with Bella. Bella will serve as both a ministry dog and a service dog assisting me personally. As a minister and an animal-lover, I cannot think of a more ideal way to "do" ministry. Bella and I will serve our congregation, community, and region in many ways: through congregational and interfaith worship and events; pastoral care visits to nursing homes and hospitals; and crisis response to recovery and reunification centers in Petersham and the wider region. We will respond to requests by local clergy of any faith as well as regional fire, police, and other emergency responders.

We are truly blessed to have her.

MOSCOW — Gym class came to a halt inside the Chelyabinsk Railway Institute, and students gathered around the window, gazing at the fat white contrail that arced its way across the morning sky. A missile? A comet? A few quiet moments passed. And then, with incredible force, the windows blew in.
The scenes from Chelyabinsk, rocked by an intense shock wave when a meteor hit the Earth's atmosphere Friday morning, offer a glimpse of an apocalyptic scenario that many have walked through mentally, and Hollywood has popularized, but scientists say has never before injured so many.

By many standards, the city of Bartlett is considered a quiet suburb of Memphis with good schools, parks, very little crime.
"I think I rather not pay more taxes, but I understand, I understand the logic," said George Hale, Bartlett resident. "I got the advantage of a lower appraisal, so I guess I get the disadvantage of a higher tax."
Mayor McDonald's administration is recommending an 18-cent property tax rate increase, after the recent reappraisals came in lower.
"We have too many taxes already," said Kenny Taliaferro. "No I don't agree with it."
"I would like to see it go toward the schools," added John Cooley. "Bartlett is a nice area and I love living here so if it's helping pay for the nice flowers, clean streets, keep crime down, hey I'll pay."
The 18-cent hike from the current $1.49 would increase the property tax rate to $1.67 per $100 of assessed value.
"I think the schools, the money going toward the schools would be the best thing at least if its going toward like police and the fire department that would be good," said Catherine Crismon, a former resident of Bartlett.
Mayor McDonald says the funding for the schools is in place, after voters approved a half-cent sales tax increase in August 2012. Even though reappraisals came in lower than expected most residents are still mixed on the idea of a property tax rate increase.
"A lot of people can't afford it, a lot of people don't even have jobs and I know my daughter is having to work two to make ends meet," said Betty Lyon, resident.
"I'm new to Bartlett. It's a really good city," said Cynthia Phipps. "The police are really good and I think if they need the money right now then they should get it."
The problem is when the reappraisals are complete it affects the revenues in a city's coffers - which pay for fire, police, roads, parks and a number of other community services. Even with this understanding, taxpayers in Bartlett may not be pleased with the proposal. Yet most are also willing to look at the recommendation to keep this community as it is - quiet, crime free with good schools.
The rate increase is expected to come up Tuesday at Bartlett's Board of Aldermen meeting. The board also will look at increasing the solid waste fee $2 from $22 to $24 a month.

Six weeks of life in the fast lane for the AJC's Mr. Basketball will end at high noon on Wednesday.
Which college will Westlake High's Marcus Thornton select? His finalists are Georgia Tech, UGA, Alabama and Texas.
YOU MAKE THE PICK. Please post your selection below, along with your reasons for your selection. We're taking names, and we'll see who knows what they are talking about later today
What do I think? I think it's very hard to get a read on Marcus Thornton, who — to his credit — has kept a low profile as possible while living large. Out of the four finalists, Thornton has the longest friendship with Alabama coach Anthony Grant, who recruited him at VCI. What about Texas? I never thought they had a chance because of distance. But Thornton had a tremendous visit to Texas, and said that distance would not be a factor in his college decision. I would label the Longhorns as the "darkhorse," therefore be warned.
The one thing I keep coming back to is Thornton's close relationship to his family and friends. He has developed a wonderful support group around Atlanta. Why on Earth leave it? That why I think it will come down to Georgia Tech vs. UGA.
Who will win? Make your prediction below.
May 19th, 2010
8:56 am
I think it will be UGA because he will have the opportunity to play with two players who could have been in the NBA Draft. They will give him the best opportunity to go far into the NCAA Tourney.
May 19th, 2010
10:31 am
Yeah, I think Tech or UGA would be best for him. Obviously having to maybe sit a year at Tech should weigh heavy on Thornton. So should the fact that although Hewitt recruits well, he somehow has left his once seemingly strong coaching abilities behind. Truly, I think Fox is the best X's and O's option out there and provides Thornton with a chance to make a name for himself and stand out while maximizing his potential. Clearly he'll get a shot at the NBA if he has the skills and will also get attention from scouts who will be watching and drafting Thompkins and Leslie.

I've got this sentimental heart that beats
but I don't really mind that (it's starting to get to me)
I posted this last night on Facebook and have had a couple people ask if I could repost it somewhere more "shareable" (that is to say, where it can be more easily viewed by people without Facebook accounts). So at the risk of coming off like I'm really impressed with myself (I'm not; I have not even put on clothes yet today and need a haircut very badly), HERE IT IS.
Summary for anyone who is interested and who wants to more fully understand what is happening with our federal government right now:
1. This shutdown is not happening because both parties won't compromise. This shutdown is happening because Republicans in the House of Representatives have refused to pass a budget bill without a bunch of amendments tacked on to it, chiefly amendments nullifying Obamacare.
2. Obamacare is not directly tied to this budget bill in any way. It is a separate piece of legislation, already passed and signed into law back in 2010. The House Republicans are just saying, "We don't like this law, Obamacare, that was already passed, and because we do not have the votes to repeal it in the manner laid out in the Constitution" — they don't; they've already tried to repeal it 42 times, yes, that is true, 42 times — "we're going to instead DEMAND that the law be repealed or delayed, or else we won't pass this budget legislation necessary to keep the country running."
3. Again, Obamacare was signed into law, in the fashion laid out in the Constitution of the United States, in 2010. It was not, like, laid down by martial law, unless you think a bunch of congresspeople and senators voting for a bill counts as martial law.
4. Also, the president behind Obamacare was reelected in 2012. Also also, in 2012 the Democrats retained control of the Senate, and House Republicans actually lost the popular vote, but stayed in control of their chamber because of shrewd gerrymandering. All of which is to say: If Americans hate Obamacare so much, how come they reelected Obama and voted so strongly for Democrats.
5. Remember that in 2012, the Supreme Court, led by a conservative chief justice and majority, upheld Obamacare's constitutionality, except for one part. (And that part is kaput. The president is not trying to enforce it with UN troops and black helicopters. It's why we don't have a state-run health exchange here in Wisconsin.) So, to sum up: Obamacare was not only enacted according to the rule of law in this country, it also survived scrutiny by the highest judiciary body in the land, which is in the hands of the opposition party.
6. The point being: None of this is to say whether Obamacare will be good or bad for the country! It is only to say that it was passed according to the rules, and it's been legitimized by our top court and implicitly by citizens who voted to reelect the president whose name it bears. Socialist tyranny, it's just not.
7. What the House GOP is pulling right now — "Get rid of Obamacare or we'll shut down important services and risk a global financial catastrophe by not raising the debt ceiling" — this is not politics as usual. This is extortion. They are a minority; even plenty of other Republican legislators think that what these guys are doing is absurd and dangerous (and this will likely become more clear the longer the shutdown goes on). If these guys want to get rid of Obamacare, they should go out and campaign and get more senators and a president elected. That is how democracy works. AMERICA, Y'ALL.
8. A note on the debt ceiling: Voting to raise the debt ceiling is not voting to spend money that the U.S. doesn't have. Congress *already voted* to spend that money. The debt ceiling is a bizarre, redundant device, and we are basically the only country that has one. (Denmark has one, but it's just a formality and has never been a point of controversy or contention.) Essentially, it's like if your dad went out and bought a lot of stuff with his credit card, but then he had to ask your mom if it was OK for him to pay the credit card off. The money is already spent. If your mom says no, then your dad is failing to honor his obligations, and his credit rating (and your mom's!) is going to be trashed. The difference on the larger scale is that if the U.S.'s credit rating is trashed, the whole planet's economy could take a massive hit, because we are, you know, a global super-power.
9. Again, this is not about a lack of compromise on both sides. The House GOP is demanding that the president and congressional Democrats just undo their chief legislative victory. And it was a legitimate victory! And frankly, Obamacare is something that a lot of Americans *want*. Those Americans are real citizens, too. So this is like if your dad and your mom and you and your sister all vote to go to Olive Garden one Thursday evening, but your little brother wants to go to Applebee's, and so instead of just accepting that he won't always get his way and planning a stronger case for Applebee's for next Thursday, he flips out and runs outside and slashes all the tires on the car so you guys can't go anywhere. Except, again, much crazier, because instead of just one family it affects millions of people and could also set off an economic calamity of titanic proportions.
10. Let me be clear: I do not hate Republicans. My dad is a Republican! I am a small businessperson! I go to church! I LOVE CHRISTMAS. This is not about name-calling or hating on anyone, and frankly, I do not expect to change anyone's mind about any of the proceeding details. But I am tired of the notion that both parties are equally to blame for our troubles; it has surely been true in the past, but it's not right now. (And it is entirely possible for ALL POLITICIANS TO BE AWFUL and for ONE OF THE TWO PARTIES TO STILL BE CONSIDERABLY WORSE.) Believe me, I would love nothing more than to see a revitalized Republican party, with views that I might disagree with but which were not straight-up lunacy. IT WOULD MAKE MY DUMB INTERNET FIGHTS A LOT MORE INTERESTING.
I can't believe I'm posting this. I am a fool. I don't know if I will even respond to comments. I have a headache already. Maybe it would not be so bad if we all downloaded our consciousnesses into computers after all.
—Lew Welch, inscription from Ring of Bone
(Reprinted in The Twilight of American Culture, by Morris Berman)
"So stated, these points appear harmless enough. Over the last decade and a half, however, a notion of safety has arisen, a notion that runs from safe sex (once it becomes anything more than making sure your partner uses a condom when you are anally penetrated by males of unknown HIV status, whether you are male or female) to safe neighborhoods, safe cities, and committed (i.e., safe) relationships, a notion that currently functions much the way the notion of "security" and "conformity" did in the fifties. As, in the name of "safety," society dismantles the various institutions that promote interclass communication, attempts to critique the way such institutions functioned in the past to promote their happier sides are often seen as, at best, nostalgia for an outmoded past and, at worst, a pernicious glorification of everything dangerous: unsafe sex, neighborhoods filled with undesirables (read "unsafe characters"), promiscuity, an attack on the family and the stable social structure, and dangerous, noncommitted, "unsafe" relationships—that is, psychologically "dangerous" relations, though the danger is rarely specified in any way other than to suggest its failure to conform to the ideal bourgeois marriage.
Such critiques are imperative, however, if we are ever to establish new institutions that will promote similar ends."
—Samuel R. Delany, Times Square Red Times Square Blue (§1.8 of "Times Square Red")
"Given the mode of capitalism under which we live, life is at its most rewarding, productive, and pleasant when large numbers of people understand, appreciate, and seek out interclass contact and communication conducted in a mode of good will.
The class war raging constantly and often silently in the comparatively stabilized societies of the developed world perpetually works for the erosion of the social practices through which interclass communication takes place and of the institutions holding those practices stable, so that new institutions must always be conceived and set in place to take over the jobs of those that are battered again and again till they are destroyed.
While the establishment and utilization of those institutions always involve social practices, the effects of my primary and secondary theses are regularly perceived at the level of discourse. Therefore, it is only by a constant renovation of the concept of discourse that society can maintain the most conscientious and informed field for both the establishment of such institutions and practices and, by extension, the necessary critique of those institutions and practices—a critique necessary if new institutions of any efficacy are to be established. At this level, in its largely stabilizing/destabilizing role, superstructure (and superstructure at its most oppositional) can impinge on infrastructure."
—Samuel R. Delany, Times Square Red Times Square Blue (§1.7 of "Times Square Red")
Pretty much all I wanted when I was in junior high was to have a newspaper column. I started reading Ann Landers at age eleven, and I devoured my mom's Erma Bombeck books (it was a long time before I understood why this was a hilarious title), and eventually I moved on to Mike Royko. Probably I was the only eighth grader in Fargo, North Dakota, who knew who Slats Grobnik was.
Then I got to high school and took Journalism 1 my sophomore year, which meant I could start working on the school paper my junior year. And when I did, lo and behold—they gave me my own column. I called it "Running Wild," because I was on the cross-country and track teams and because I spent way too much time listening to the new Soup Dragons album that year.
Being a newspaper columnist was everything I'd dreamed it would be. Whenever the paper came out, people complimented me on my "article." (I eventually devoted a couple paragraphs to explaining the difference between a column and an article; it seemed really important at the time, because I was sixteen.) Women veritably threw themselves at me; my high school crush even invited me over to her house. (Nothing came of any of this, because I somehow had less game then as a healthy teenager who lifted weights every day than I do now as a middle-aged pudgy dad who is presently still wearing pajama pants.) The powers that be took notice of me, inasmuch as I once wrote a critical thing about the student council and the adviser (my Spanish teacher) said her feelings were kind of hurt.*
And then there were the awards. I had been convinced of my own brilliance for a long time (ever since I penned a disco tune called "All's Well That Ends Well" when I was about four). But then our journalism adviser, R.D., included some of my columns in his annual packet of submissions to whatever organization it was or is that judges the quality of high school journalists in North Dakota. I'm pretty sure I missed the actual trip up to Grand Forks where they handed out plaques—I must have had a track meet or something, where I promise you I did not win any awards—but when our delegation returned to Fargo, they bore with them some sort of marker indicating that I WAS THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL OPINION COLUMNIST IN THE ENTIRE GODDAMN STATE.
At long last, validation.
Well, the next year I got to write my column again. (This time I named it after a Jesus and Mary Chain song. As names of newspaper columns go, it was probably a downgrade, though I like how "Fargo" is right there in the first five letters. Musically, however, a definite improvement.)
And again there were fame and recognition, and ladies I was too scared to try to put my hands or mouth on. In a moment of hubris, I used the column to try to persuade everyone to elect me Sadie Hawkins King, and that totally bombed. I mean, I don't know how close the vote was (I vaguely remember someone telling me: "Not close"), but what really sunk the whole experience was how, right before they announced the winner—on a microphone—in the gym—at a pep rally in front of the entire school—I stepped forward to accept the honors and then they called somebody else's name. (You deserved it, Ryan. I shouldn't have tried to exert my tremendous influence as a member of the Fourth Estate to sway the voters. Plus, you were quite a bit cooler than I was.)
Anyway, that was the most embarrassing experience of my life (finally eclipsing the "mooned the principal" thing from first grade), so you'd think I would have learned something from it. But.
When they gave out the journalism awards that second year, once again my column had been submitted, and since it was still, in my eyes, objectively the best opinion column to appear in a Class A or any high school newspaper in the entire state, I figured I was a shoo-in. Also, I did get to go to Grand Forks for the awards that year, which also featured on-the-spot writing contests, and I think right before they did the ceremony I found out I'd won Best Editorial (different from an opinion column, because, you know, unsigned, and totally different from an "article") for my take on the big caning in Singapore. Oh—and, I swear to God, I heard some kid from another school actually point me out as I walked by and say something like, "Wimmer's gonna win it again" to his friend. So I was rather amped up. Perhaps even more impressed with myself than usual.
I was pretty much on the edge of my chair waiting for them to get to the award for Best Opinion Column. I mean, I was literally trembling as my moment drew near. I must have had a speech planned, because I always had a speech planned.
Needless to say, I shot up out of my seat and started for the podium just as they announced the winner—who was a guy named Jay Enyart from Bismarck. He wrote a column called "My Little Corner" for his paper, and every single installment ended with something like "…I'll see you in my little corner." It was so unbearably twee. Also, our adviser was sure their adviser laid out their whole paper for them.
So I still think I should have won. Not only was I robbed, but I totally made an ass of myself, too. If I see you, Enyart, you better watch the hell out. YOU WATCH THE HELL OUT.
*Also, I once wrote something mildly anti-Semitic, and I am really, really sorry about that, Mr. Bernath. That was a totally nice letter you wrote me explaining why it wasn't funny, and in response I just made another stupid joke in the next column, and I'm pretty sure I called you Mrs. Bernath. (That was because I didn't look closely enough at your cursive until later.)
I won't deny it: This is not a very good blog. It veers wildly from overly, obsequiously professional (and, I think, boring) to randomly goofy (but probably not in an entertaining enough way to justify any clients it might cost me).
Well, I'm working on it.
Here's something I think is true about the blog medium: It's as much about practice as it is about professionalism. This is simply inherent to blogging—the cost of entry is so low, the compensation so minimal, and the window of time you can expect your audience to spend on your blog so short, that it just doesn't make sense to polish and edit and revise blog posts. At least not the same way you'd polish and edit and revise a newspaper or magazine article.
And while that doesn't mean you should just put out crap, it does mean that the only way to improve is by doing it, by blogging often and in public, so you can figure out what works.
It can be hard, because, yeah, it's embarrassing when you've blogged something you wish were better-written, or when someone calls you out for not knowing something. It dismays me to think of all the stuff I've posted online that makes me sound like a total (as opposed to a partial) fool. I kind of wish I could wipe it all out and start fresh and sound like a genius from square one.
But there is also comfort in knowing that all the foolish stuff is out there and that, you know, by putting it out there and leaving it there, I'm owning it. Yup, sometimes I am dumb, or boring, or lame. But that's because I'm a person. And maybe the best thing blogs and the rest of the internet will do for us will be to make it undeniably obvious how integral dumbness, boringness, and lameness are to the human condition, so that we can get comfortable with them. That would be good for everybody, right?

Hello, hello! I'll start with saying I HATE "introductions"…I feel like a geek. Anyways! That said, my name is Heather. I started reading, oh, in (aprox.) 2003-2004. I was at work and bored; ok, I know, my ex boss would be thrilled to hear that, right? BUT, I worked in childcare, ALL my kiddos were down for naps, I had my curriculum for the month done, and I had cleaned my classroom. There really wasn't anything else for me to do. I asked someone to cover me for a minute so I could run to my car where my daughter had left her copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I went back to the classroom and started reading it. Can I just say nap time flew by?!?! I started the book just to have something to do, but found that I loved reading! When I was done with Harry Potter (not that same day), I ran to Target & grabbed a Nicholas Sparks book (don't remember which one) and read that. That became my routine from then on….I'd finish a book, run to Target at lunch and buy another! I've been a book junkie ever since!
While my preference runs toward contemporary romance novels (Jill Shalvis, Debbie Macomber, etc), I DO read other genres occasionally. I love ALL the Harry Potter books, the Twilight series, just finished my 1st "paranormal romance" book, and also read an occasional thriller or historical fiction (you MUST read Cane River by Lalita Tademy).
And, that is about it! Oh, well….I WILL add that I do NOT like eReaders. I am a PAPER book fan. I know the day will come when bookstores are non-existent, unless you count online bookstores and I'll have no choice but to use them. I'm sure I will cry when that happens. As it is, one of my authors released a Chrismas novella only in eBook form, so I had to get the Kindle app for my iPhone so that I could read the book. I do NOT like that I had to do that. Call me resistant to change, but some things are best left the way they were created (books=paper).

Polar Bear Crib Sheet
by Camilla Engman
It's a fresh idea to cover your baby's crib bottom with an entire piece of artwork, rather than the typical repeated pattern of most sheets. Camilla Engman's design is big and bold and downright chilly. It will have you thinking cool even in the heat of the summer.
We found Engman's Fitted Baby Cot Sheet ($75) at Third Drawer Down. We've posted about Camilla's work before; take a look at some of her adorable prints too.

Pretty cool! I can't imagine spending $75 on a sheet for my kid's diaper to explode on, but if I had [far] more disposable income, I'd totally be getting this!
ummm, I love it! My son loves polar bears so I think this would be a hit for any toddler room too!
Cute bedding! After recently designing for preteen girls, I'm so ready to do a baby's room.

If you happened to hear a dance beat-accompanied, distinctive Southern twang yelling "Who threw that ham at me?!" blasting through a car window on North Highland Avenue late Sunday night, it could only mean one thing.
The B-52's frontman Fred Schneider is back in town.
On Sunday night, after dinner with friends at Sotto Sotto, the vocalist opted to world premiere his brand-new single "Who Threw That Ham at Me?" with his side group, The Superions. The song's kooky lyrics pay homage to a particular urban legend involving a canned ham, a grocery store, an overcoat and an ill-fated shoplifting attempt.
Joked Schneider: "It's destined to become a holiday hit!"
Buzz was treated to an advance spin of the track while Schneider was in-studio Monday to co-host "Radio Free Lunch" with Mara Davis at Dave FM. The pop star is in town to DJ at the VIP post-party at Monday night's annual Jeffrey Kalinsky's Fashion Cares soiree.
Off air, Davis asked Schneider how he comes up with his hilariously off-the-wall lyrical ideas. Behind a pair of vintage Ray-Bans, Schneider replied: "I have no idea. Just give me three glasses of wine and I'm in your bathroom with a microphone!"
The singer confessed on air that he created the lyrics for "Totally Nude Island," his first single with fellow Superions Noah Brodie and Dan Marshall in the Orlando duo's bathroom after their Azure lovebird Mr. Bird kept interfering with the recording process.
Over the lunch hour, Schneider also conceded that he can't look away from the Bravo reality trainwreck "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
"I don't ever intentionally sit down to watch it," he explained. "It just always seems to be on. I love the one who held the benefit that didn't raise any money [DeShawn Snow] and the country singer [Kim Zolciak]."
Davis then played Schneider a sample of Zolciak's newly leaked dance single, "Tardy for the Party."
Cracked the singer: "Oh, God. Are you sure it's not 'Tarty for the Party?' "

PACT - Afula
Our support brings this "educational head start" to 800 children, birth through 12 years of age.
Parents and Children Together (PACT) in Afula (Northern Israel) provides comprehensive enrichment and community services for Ethiopian-Israeli youngsters, their family, and the community.
Read our most recent newsletter.
PACT Provides Educational Enrichment and Social Services to Ethiopian-Israeli Preschoolers and Their Families
Last year, five year-old Noam joined the activities at the Gevanim Enrichment Center. It was a disaster. He was wild and out of control. His older sister would bring him but she would sit glumly on one side, embarrassed by his constant disruptions. She told Tziona, the Parents And Children Together (PACT) Coordinator at the Gevanim Center, that she despaired of her little brother's behavior and neither she nor her parents could handle him.
Tziona decided to visit Noam's kindergarten. Observing his behavior in an additional framework provided an important insight, as Tziona discovered that in a more structured environment, Noam was capable of being relatively calm and cooperative, provided rules and boundaries were clear to him.
Tziona then invited Noam's parents to meet with her and the PACT Ethiopian-Israeli educational liaison working in Noam's kindergarten. Noam's father, Gad, came alone to the meeting. "I'd like us to make a kind of contract, a behavior agreement with Noam," explained Tziona. "Do I need to be a part of this?" was Gad's response. "At home, if he doesn't do what he's told, I just tell him he has to!"
Nevertheless, the process went ahead with Gad's reluctant participation. Together with Noam, the parties drew up an agreement, with concrete examples of situations and reasonable demands to which Noam could relate: "If I play with Legos, I will clear up afterwards... If I want to take something, I'll ask for it first."
Noam kept to the agreement, encouraged by warm, positive reinforcement. In Tziona's words, "A different Noam soon emerged—a delightful, lively child able to accept rules and limits." Meanwhile, his appreciative dad began to attend Gevanim regularly. One day he arrived with an unruly two-year-old in tow, Noam's younger brother, Yinon. History was about to repeat itself—only this time, Gad was ready and willing to work with Yinon, supported by PACT's Gevanim staff.
PACT is a strategic, citywide, early-childhood intervention program that provides comprehensive educational enrichment and community services for Ethiopian-Israeli preschoolers. Multi-faceted, PACT focuses on the child and family, equipping preschoolers with the basic skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to enter the Israeli school system on equal footing with their veteran Israeli peers. Additionally, PACT strengthens the Ethiopian-Israeli community by promoting family, community, and professional empowerment.

The State Department warns travelers about robbery, lawlessness, infectious disease and poor medical facilities in Haiti.
WASHINGTON — The State Department has issued a revised Haiti travel advisory, warning Americans planning to travel to the Caribbean island nation about robbery, lawlessness, infectious disease and poor medical facilities.
"U.S. citizens have been victims of violent crime, including murder and kidnapping, predominantly in the Port-au-Prince area. No one is safe from kidnapping, regardless of occupation, nationality, race, gender or age," the department said.
The new travel warning was released Friday to replace a less strongly worded advisory issued in June.
In recent months, travelers arriving in Port-au-Prince, the capital and largest city, on flights from the United States have been attacked and robbed after leaving the airport. This year, at least two U.S. citizens were shot and killed in robbery and kidnapping incidents, the State Department said.
"Haitian authorities have limited capacity to deter or investigate such violent acts or prosecute perpetrators," the department said.
The State Department also noted that while the incidents of cholera have declined, the disease persists in many areas of Haiti. Medical facilities, including ambulance services, are particularly weak.
"Thousands of U.S. citizens safely visit Haiti each year, but the poor state of Haiti's emergency response network should be carefully considered when planning travel. Travelers to Haiti are encouraged to use organizations that have solid infrastructure, evacuation and medical support options in place," the department said.

And I Feel Kind Of Ambivalent About ItI work in an elementary school and some of my students' fathers' pick them up at the end of the day. I can't help but notice how uncomfortable around me they are. In a "normal" male dominated setting -- which is pretty much anywhere -- they'd feel free to ogle me and maybe wink at their friends and make a comment or two. But in a school, they shuffle their feet, speak barely above a whisper and try to make small talk about the most random things. It's cute but really distracting when at a moment's notice I have a kid doing cartwheels in the corner. There's this one guy who is actually really attractive that I'm thinking about. I literally have to catch my breath every time he walks in but then the kids command my attention again and I snap out of it. The thing is, I know outside of school -- in the real world -- this man would have nothing to say to me. Like a lot of the men I meet, we just don't have much in common.
It's seems that you do have something in common with the good looking guy.

Why not try and approach him by telling him that your having similar thoughts :-)

Any man would be instantly turned on by a woman making such a move
What you have in common is that he is a man and you are a woman. Obviously, his lusty desire for you is intended to be a compliment, that he wants you, finds you seductive, is drawn to you. No words are required to communicate these feelings, you can see it in the way he watches you. His eyes upon you tell you everything you need to know about his attraction to you.

You obviously are a very sexy woman, one who sends out a very powerful vibe that makes men feel uncomfortable in the prim and proper setting of school where you work. The feelings you ignite in them seem inappropriate in that setting, so they stammer, hesitate, feel they cannot act upon those feelings, and they seem a bit inept. You find it cute but to them it is very awkward. If you want any of them to take action, you will have to enable and empower it.

There is also the issue of the mothers. I mean these men know that you know the mother of their children. So they wonder if you can be trusted or not. They hold back because they have to consider the need to be discreet where their children's mother is concerned. It is indeed even more of a compliment to you that they so clearly and obviously communicate their lust and desire for you when they are at such risk of discovery by the mother of their children. It makes it even more awkward for them and further explains why you would have to be the one to empower anything further.
Could (and would) you describe the man that would fit in, a man who really could get your full attention?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A conservative group is targeting Republican Congressman Rick Crawford of Arkansas and asking for the public to recommend primary opponents over his support for increasing taxes on millionaires in exchange for a balanced budget amendment.
The Club for Growth on Wednesday listed Crawford and eight other Republican lawmakers on its primarymycongressman.com website. The site targets congressman that the group says serve in safe Republican districts but have scored less than 70% on its scorecard on economic issues such as tax cuts.
Crawford last year proposed a 5% surtax on individual incomes exceeding $1 million a year in exchange for Congress passing a balanced budget amendment.
Crawford disputed the group's criticism and said he believed it boiled down to a disagreement with the group over permanent spending controls.

Sexting Examples to send to boyfriend?
My boyfriend loves it when I tease him around with sext but I ran out of ideas lol any examples?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
What girls do for me is make a name for my c-ck like a pet name, then when you text him ask him how are you? How is your (insert pet name for his c-ck)? It's a cute way to flirt and sext further. Find clever way to say things, instead of saying "i'm wet" you can say the syrup factory is up and running or something like that, be creative ;)So that way if someone accidentally reads his texts he won't matter because only you'll know what you're talking about. And then just obvious stuff like the girls said, tell him what you'd do to his d-ck and how you'd hold it, rub it, stroke it etc.
What Guys Said 1
If you want some ideas for texting there are some here -www.sextxts.com/how-to-sex-text.html
What Girls Said 2
Lol ironically enough I just send this super long sext to boyfriend but 1) it's way too long to type on here again lol and 2) the GAG police would get me for it :pMake up some good scenarios like if yall got in the shower or how you would tease him and what not. Be veryy detailed, like where your hands would be, how bad you want his ****, what you would do with it. How good you'd make him feel, just have fun! ;)
lol the GAG police? okay I will
Yeah if you put something really detailed/sexual they delete your comment and email you saying it's too much haha
tell him about how you need is **** or how you're touching yourself thinking about sucking his **** and rubbing his balls.. he'll go crazy, I promiselol if you want anymore I'm happy to help.. I am in a long distance thing.. it's what we do
hhhmmm good one thank you

first you kissed me, then you killed me2 Reviews
Start of the tour, doesn't Pete have anything better to do?
The members of Lloyd Dobler filed out of the van as it pulled up in front of the busses on the first day of tour. It was so early, the sun was barely up yet. Izzie yawned and looked around the empty parking lot as she dragged her bags and guitars over to the bus she would share with Taylor. Fall Out Boy were already here and bustling around their busses, as was one of the two opening bands. It took her three trips, but she managed to haul all of her stuff from the van to the bus. She had one giant duffel bag as well as a few other, smaller ones. On stage Izzie, and off stage Izzie were two completely different people. In concerts and photo shoots, the label had created a glam-rock sex kitten persona for her, full of stilettos, mini skirts and teased hair. On her own, she was more of a hoodies, Converse and bright makeup girl. So wherever she went, she basically needed two separate wardrobes, which accounted for the bag big enough for her to lie down inside. She was struggling to lift it and cram it in the space under the bus when she heard footsteps come up behind her. "Here let me help." The back of the bag lifted up and slid onto the shelf.
"Thanks." Izzie turned around, smiling at the person only to come face to face with Pete. "Oh." Her smile disappeared. A bulldog waddled over to her, sniffing her pants leg and giving a happy bark.
"Sorry, that's my dog, Hemmingway." Pete pulled him back by the collar.
"I named him after my hero."
"I know." Izzie cocked an eyebrow. "I have a dog too, that I ALSO named after my hero."
"Oh, yeah?" She reached into her large purse sitting off to the side and pulled out a very sleepy, very tiny Chihuahua wearing a fuzzy pink sweater and a collar with big biker spikes on it.
"His name's Optimus Prime."
"Oh my god, that's awesome!" Pete laughed. Izzie smiled as he reached out and scratched OP's head. "Hey, so…can we talk sometime?" Pete asked nervously, staring at his shoes. Izzie's cold attitude was instantly back.
"Maybe you should have tried talking five years ago, Pete." She spun around and stomped off to her band's other bus.
"Izzie, just the person I was looking for." Mike grinned as she stepped on the bus.
"Thanks a lot guys." She rolled her eyes, putting OP on the couch. He immediately jumped up on Kyle's lap.
"What did we do?" Steve asked defensively.
"What was the one thing I asked you to do for me?"
"Remind you to pack your toothbrush?" Taylor shrugged.
"Crap! I forgot my toothbrush. No. I asked you not to let Pete corner me."
"What did he say to you?" Steve asked.
"He asked if we could talk sometime." She sighed.
"Why don't you just talk to him then?" Kyle asked.
"It's not that simple."
"Well, as fabulous as this episode of The Hills is, I have meetings I have to get to. Do you all have cash on you?" Mike interrupted. Izzie and Steve shook their heads.
"I have seven dollars." Kyle looked in his wallet.
"I have a quarter." Taylor stuck his hands in his pockets.
"We have $7.25." Kyle nodded.
"That's what I figured. I'm giving you all $100 in cash." Mike passed around envelopes. "It's for EMERGENCIES. Food, cab fare, guitar strings, drum sticks and the like. It is NOT for CDs, DVDs, poker, dog sweaters or sneakers." He pointed at Izzie and Taylor, the most likely offenders.
"I only bought one pair of shoes with your money." Izzie gasped.
"Yeah, but they were $700 shoes. Technically you shouldn't get this, you're still paying it back." Mike reluctantly handed over her money. After he abandoned them, everybody spent about another hour getting settled, which meant Izzie had barricaded herself in her bus with Taylor standing guard. When the bus started moving, she could finally relax knowing that Pete couldn't come looking for her. At least not until they got to Boston.
When they arrived at the venue, Pete spent most of the day lurking around the Lloyd Dobler dressing room, bus, lunch table and anywhere else Izzie would go. However, she was smart and didn't go anywhere by herself. The entire time they were playing, Izzie could see him watching her from the side of the stage. He was starting to get kind of annoying with his stalker-like behavior. "How's it going Boston?!" she yelled into the microphone. "You guys are great! This is a perfect kickoff to the tour! This next song is off our new CD, it's out at the end of the month, so make sure you pick it up." She smiled as Taylor and Kyle began playing the opening chords.
I'm gonna tell a little story
About the ones I left and left me
You'll know if you're one
Cause you know what you've done
Whoa oh
Spending days and nights with Matty
For weeks on end only to dump me
I had my suspicions
Your jealous convictions
Whoa oh
And you deny
You've done wrong
Well I've kept my mouth shut too long
Get out of my way, oh way oh
First you kissed me, then you killed me
Get out of my way, oh way oh
Won't stop me
Watch me go
Watch me go
Eddie always wore a tie
Got drunk and called and made me cry
Why he did it
He wouldn't admit it
Whoa oh
Emilio was a two-timer
Hooked up with my friend the liar
Spread the wrong story
Made sweet people hate me
Whoa, oh
Still you deny
You've done wrong
Well I've kept my mouth shut too long
Just watch me go
Watch me go
"Where'd you go? I heard you get up at like 8." Taylor asked. The three guys were huddled in the kitchen in their boxers trying to pry a pop tart out of the toaster with a fork.
"I had to pick something up." Izzie held up a small plastic bag, squeezing by them in the tiny space to grab a Diet Coke out of the fridge. "You're going to electrocute yourselves."
"It's stuck." Kyle pouted. Izzie picked up the toaster and gave it a shake, the pop tart bounced out onto the counter.
"Awesome!" Steve grabbed it, taking a bite. "Hot!" he spit it out into the sink.
"I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." Izzie shook her head, walking quickly into her room and shut the door behind her. Sitting down on the bed, she plugged her headphones into the stereo and placed them over her ears. She dumped out the contents of her bag and looked closely at the CD in front of her. Take This To Your Grave. It was just released this morning, and she had gone to three CD stores before she found it. They looked like a real band staring back at her from the cover. Not like the last time she saw them, flailing away in Patrick's basement. She placed the CD in her stereo and read along to Pete's lyrics as the first song began. Certain lines stuck out in her mind. "Let's play this game called when you catch fire, I wouldn't piss to put you out." "When you go, I will forget everything about you."
"You want apologies
Girl, you might hold your breath
Until your breathing stops forever, forever
The only thing you'll get
Is this curse on your lips, I hope they taste of me forever." By the time she got through Chicago Is So Two Years Ago, she had cracked. What had started as a sinking feeling, was reassured and had become an overwhelming affirmation that he hated her as much as she thought he did. She let the tears pour down her cheeks as she listened to the rest of the album. Just as the last song was ending, there was a quiet knock on her door. It squeaked open and Taylor stuck his head in to see her curled up on her bed, sobbing.
"Hey. I thought I heard you crying. What's wrong?" he shuffled into the room, sitting down on the bed and slipping off her headphones.
"He hates me." She cried.
"Is this their new album?" he picked the CD up, looking at the cover. Izzie nodded.
"It's really good." She sniffled. "Why am I such a bitch?"
"You're not a bitch. He just needs time." He rubbed her back, comfortingly. "Come on, we're getting pizza."
Izzie looked back over to the side as she sang the last note, and Pete was gone. When their set was done, they all ran off stage and Izzie made a bee line for the dressing room. Turning a corner, she wasn't looking and bumped straight into Patrick, knocking his glasses off. "Oh, my god. I'm so sorry." She giggled, grabbing his glasses off the floor and handing them to him.
"It's ok. I was trying to walk and text. Never a good combination." He laughed.
"Tell me about it. I broke my nose doing that."
"Really?" He gave her a look.
"Straight into a wall." She laughed, shaking her head.
"Hey, you guys were great. I watched some of your set with Pe…oh." He trailed off. "He told me what happened with you two. If you ever want to talk about it, or need someone who understands or anything." He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks, but it's kind of a sore subject." She smiled politely, retreating into the dressing room.
I didn't write the song, it's The Dollyrots, Watch You Go (Kissed Me, Killed Me). They're really good kind of pop/punk if you haven't heard them. They have 2 CDs on iTunes. That's my music tip of the day.

Many homes in the U.S. have some type of firearm. But having a firearm in the home boosts the risk for unintentional death and injury among children.
A common problem is that adults underestimate a child's ability to get to a firearm in the home. Kids often aren't able to tell the difference between a real gun and toy guns. Children also aren't able to make good judgments about how to safely handle a gun.
To keep your child safe from firearms, consider whether it's worth the risk to keep a firearm in your home. If you do choose to keep a firearm, safely store the firearm locked up and out of reach. Keep ammunition in a separate, locked place from the actual firearm.
Talk with your child about the dangers of firearms. Teach your child to never touch or play with guns, and to tell an adult if he or she finds a gun.

Ten of the team's players lost their family homes and Coach Darrell Crouch said preparing for Saturday's game against Sacred Heart-Griffin High School has required some help. Washington's fans will head to the game on buses chartered by Sacred Heart and the Panther's last opponent, Normal University High School, bought the players lunch and offered help with laundry.
Washington's mayor said earlier this week that over 1,000 homes in the town had been damaged in Sunday's storm.
