Dole Votes To Protect Employers Who Discriminate Against Women, African-Americans
Opposes Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to protect victims of discrimination
Elizabeth Dole today voted against the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act which would ensure that victims of pay discrimination can hold their employers accountable under existing anti-discrimination laws. Dole's vote comes one day after Equal Pay Day, which highlights the disparity in wages between women and men – currently at 78 cents to the dollar in North Carolina.
"The last thing hardworking North Carolina families need is a paycheck further slashed by discrimination, but Elizabeth Dole passed on guaranteeing equal pay for equal work today," DSCC spokesman Matthew Miller said. "With Elizabeth Dole's record, it's no wonder she voted against holding people accountable today, but that's exactly what the voters are going to do to her in November."
The bill, which passed the House last July, would restore civil rights laws to their state before a Supreme Court decision last April drastically reduced the ability of women, African Americans, and other victims of employment discrimination to hold their bosses accountable and receive the pay they deserve. The decision shielded employers who discriminate on pay from anti-discrimination lawsuits if they can keep the discrimination secret for the first six months.
Dole Stands with Activist Judges Against Workers. The Supreme Court opinion was a 5-4 decision by a narrow majority of conservative activist judges that consistently rules for big businesses against their workers. The decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear overturned Congressional intent, earlier precedent, and the overwhelming consensus of the appeals courts. [Ledbetter v. Goodyear, Ginsburg, J., dissenting, 5/29/07; Los Angeles Times, 6/21/07]
CBO Shoots Down Flimsy Republican Excuse for Protecting Employers Who Discriminate. According to the Congressional Budget Office, "H.R. 2831 would not establish a new cause of action for claims of pay discrimination. Because many variables influence the filing of a claim for pay discrimination, CBO expects that the bill would not significantly affect the number of filings with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)." [Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate on HR 2831, 7/12/07]
North Carolina Women Earn 78% What North Carolina Men Earn. According to the American Association of University Women, the median annual earnings of college educated women in North Carolina was 78% that of college educated men. [AAUW]
The Republican-Bush Economy Has Been Bad for Most, But Especially African Americans. Since 2000, the median income for African American families has fallen by almost 10% and is less than two-thirds the median white income. During the same period, all Americans' median income has fallen less than 2%. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/07]
Ew, please don't post that picture.
Jesus Swept ticked me off. Too short. I loved the characters and then POOF it was over.
Hagan Campaign Calls on Dole to Return 22% of Her Senate Salary
Thanks, Jerimee -- this went out from the Hagan Campaign about 30 minutes ago.
Dole voted against Ledbetter Fair Pay Act yesterday;
On average, women in North Carolina make 78% of what men do

GREENSBORO, NC- The day after Elizabeth Dole voted against the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would ensure that victims of pay discrimination would be able to hold their employers accountable under existing anti-discrimination laws, Colleen Flanagan, Communications Director for Kay Hagan's U.S. Senate Campaign called on Dole to return 22% of her Senate salary. On average in North Carolina, women make 78% of what men make.
"Elizabeth Dole's vote against the bill which would ensure that victims of pay discrimination have a fair shot to hold their employers accountable flies in the face of all the working families in North Carolina trying to make ends meet on a full paycheck, nevermind those who are receiving a paycheck reduced by discrimination. Since Elizabeth Dole sees nothing wrong with women earning less than men– on average, 78% of what men make in North Carolina – she should return 22% of her Senate salary and practice what she preaches."
This is brilliant. Very smart move. Excellent.

BRADFORD, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont state trooper who fired a Taser at a Thetford man who died after being hit has returned to active duty.
A state police spokeswoman says Trooper David Shaffer was placed on paid leave for three days following the death of 39-year-old Macadam Mason on June 20.
Spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro tells the Burlington Free Press that police are still investigating the death and will send their findings to the county state's attorney and Vermont attorney general.
Police say the exact cause of death has not yet been determined. Toxicology tests are pending.
Police say Mason, who was unarmed, was acting aggressively and refusing to lie on the ground when he was shot in the chest.
Mason's girlfriend and her son dispute that Mason shouted "aggressively" at the trooper.

Call me crazy, but the sight of a Smeg refrigerator always makes my heart skip a beat—it's so retro, so cheery, so filled with character! (Who knew it was possible to get so excited about kitchen appliances?) Even better, the Italian brand, which started in 1948, now makes energy-efficient versions of the fridges, available at West Elm Market in 10 juicy colors. At $1,999, they don't come cheap—but think of how much personality one would add to a ho-hum kitchen (cheaper than an entire remodel, right?). And with color options ranging from mint green and baby blue, to butter yellow and ballet pink, they're the perfect way to add a dash of springtime cheer to your home.

Feedback: Time for action, not plan
Bravo to Oak Harbor Chamber Director Priscilla Heistad for her comments (News-Times, Aug. 7) regarding the city not needing yet another plan. I applaud Priscilla for pointing out that perhaps we would be better served by investing in action rather than additional dialogue.
Of course careful consideration is important in any project planning process, but the fact is we can discuss things 'til we're blue in the face and out of money, but that doesn't accomplish anything.

Oliver Hardy wants to go see his friend Stan Laurel; his wife (Fay Holderness) tells him, in no uncertain terms, that he must put up the radio antenna first. When Stan comes by and gives Ollie his helping hand, the inevitable mayhem ensues. He begins by setting Ollie's pants on fire with the exhaust from his car. A bucket of water meant to douse the smoke coming from Ollie's behind hits him in the face instead. Ollie throws the bucket through a window; Mrs. Hardy whacks him with a frying pan. The boys climb onto the roof to get the antenna set up but just can't seem to keep from falling into the pond, causing a disgusted Mrs. Hardy to command them to stop playing. The boys get around to the wiring and Stan electrocutes Ollie, sending him down the chimney. Ollie gets back on the ladder, which has been set in Stan's car for support, but Stan starts the engine and they end up on a wild ride through town. The ladder ends up on a bus and Ollie falls in its path. He manages to escape getting run over when his tearful wife appears. Ollie tells her reassuringly that he is okay, but she's not crying over him -- she's upset because the radio has been repossessed. They all head back to Stan's car, just in time for it to be crushed by a streetcar. In most Laurel and Hardy films, Ollie's the one who suffers the most damage; this time around he seems to get it even worse than usual! Originally filmed in black & white, a colorized version was released in the late 1990s for home video.

An ad the University of Notre Dame plans to air during the BCS National Championship game has already elicited positive feedback from Irish fans.
The commercial titled "A Message from the Students of Notre Dame," was filmed Dec. 7 by South Bend media production company Explore Media, and will be broadcast on ESPN Monday night during a commercial break.
The university sent out an email to the student body in hopes that a crowd would turn out to be filmed, and on the day of the shoot almost 500 showed up.
The commercial features students excitedly gathering and walking into the stadium sporting ND shirts, hats, and jackets. In the final scene the students are shown holding up candles in the stands of Notre Dame Stadium holding up candles spelling out "#1."
According to the Elkhart Truth, the university posted the commercial to its website and it has already become a hit with students and alumni.
An estimated 30 million people are expected to watch Monday's title game, more viewers than for any previous BCS championship.

Item has a Minimum Qty
Locally we have only 1 style of nose plugs and if it falls off in the water you can't find it. These are less expensive and have the rubber that goes around your neck so you don't lose it. It is tight fitting so even my children can wear them. Shipping took forever (or so it seemed).
stiff hard to fit for kids
Not useful. Frankly a piece of junk. Molded plastic does not have elasticity. Besides the initial image you show to sell the product does not correspond to the actual product.
could not even begin to get on a nose.... so tight they would not even open. Not good for anything.
The nose clip material is too hard and uncomfortable.
Could not pry the clip wide enough to fit my small nose.Not as pictured. Unuseable - not great.
I bought this for my daughter. When she tried it, it was so stiff that it hurt her nose. Called Swim Outlet immediately for replacing it with other nose clip.
i dont like water going up my nose so i saw this nose clip i thought i would ry and it does work thankyou so much for this product
i give lessons to adults and kids. I gave this nose clip to a fearful adult because she wanted to guarantee her nose would not get water in it. This clip is so tight on her that her nose turns blue wearing it. The second time she wore it the straps came out of the holes of the clip and I had to retie them and now it looks like there are things coming out of her nose. All in all, it's too hard to loosen and adjust. Even for kids, it's not flexible enough for them to use themselves. I like the orange color because you can see it when it comes off and goes in the pool but othewise, the design needs re-doing.
Used by 5 year old. Hard to clip. Spreading helped a little. Un sure if it will break.If other nose clip had strap, i would've purchased them. Patience is needed when putting on these clips.

Provo • After suffering another emotional loss to their hated rivals on their home field, the BYU Cougars say they are grateful for a quick turnaround, hoping to get rid of what receiver Mitch Mathews said was the "most awful" feeling in the world.
They are also thankful that Friday night's opponent at LaVell Edwards Stadium isn't another powerful regional rival, like last year when they had to travel to Boise State for a Thursday night game after losing at Utah. The Cougars (1-2) play host to Middle Tennessee (3-1) of Conference USA at 7 p.m. in a game that will be televised nationally by ESPNU.

About the Blue Raiders » This is only their second game in the state of Utah. They lost at Utah State in 2003. … They are 7-1 in their last eight games, and have gone 3-0 in those games decided by a field goal or less. … RB Jordan Parker has rushed for 100 or more yards six times in his last eight games. … QB Logan Kilgore has throw for 5,921 yards in his career, fourth-most in school history.
About the Cougars » They will make a return visit to play Middle Tennessee in Murfreesboro in 2014. … They are averaging 306.7 yards of rushing offense and just 188 yards of passing offense per game. … They have allowed just eight rushing touchdowns in their last 15 games, ranking No. 3 nationally for fewest allowed over that time period. .. They will play another Friday game next week when they travel to Logan to take on Utah State.

Playing quickly again "can be a blessing," said defensive tackle Eathyn Manumaleuna. "We want to bury all that [happened in Saturday's 20-13 loss to Utah] really fast. This is another opportunity for us to show what we have, and how hard we work."
Wedged between BYU's two biggest rivals — the Cougars play at Utah State next Friday — the encounter with Middle Tennessee could be considered a trap game for BYU, except that the wildly inconsistent Cougars are " target="_blank">not good enough to look past anybody, and they know it.
"I feel comfortable speaking for the team that that is not the case," said quarterback Taysom Hill, target of much early-season criticism because of his woeful passing efficiency rating, last in the country, and his 35.1 completion percentage. "We are all competitors. We all want to win, and it is like, offensively, we feel like we have something to prove, whether we play Middle Tennessee or whether we play Utah or Texas or whoever it is. We are going to show up."
The Blue Raiders, who own wins over Western Carolina, Memphis and Florida Atlantic to go with a 40-20 loss at North Carolina, will certainly show up as well. They talked Monday about being ready to pull off a monumental upset as three-touchdown underdogs.
"It's a great opportunity for us," said coach Rick Stockstill. "I told our guys this is the best team we've played so far this year. … Nobody thinks we can win it but us."
To a man, BYU coaches and players said during media availability Monday and Tuesday that the Blue Raiders are fast and athletic, with as much team speed, if not more, than Utah and Texas. They are especially impressed with junior running back and kick returner Reggie Whatley, a 5-foot-7, 167-pound lightning bug who rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns in last week's 42-35 overtime win over Florida Atlantic.
"He might be the fastest guy we see all year," said BYU linebackers coach Kelly Poppinga. "Very athletic, kind of a jitterbug, scatback guy … We cannot sleep against these guys. They are coming in here to find a win. We need to fight right back at them. If we are licking our [wounds] from Saturday, they are going to take it to us."
Middle Tennessee's Logan Kilgore will be the most experienced quarterback the Cougars will see this year as well; the four-year starter from Rocklin, Calif., has thrown for 5,921 career yards.
"They look like a tough team," said BYU running back and kick returner Adam Hine. "They look like they are going to give us a good run for our money."
Hine and fellow running backs Paul Lasike and Michael Alisa will likely see their roles expanded because sophomore Jamaal Williams, who suffered a concussion and severe stinger against Utah, most likely will not play.
"They appear to be a smaller school on paper, but they have got guys with really good speed," BYU offensive coordinator Robert Anae said of Middle Tennessee's defense. "They are capable of beating us. … We are preparing for a very fast, very good, opponent."

Ali Landry: 'I Don't Think We'll Be Putting My Daughter in Pageants'
momlogic: How has life as a mother changed you?
Ali Landry: Becoming a mother has changed me in every way. For one, I am now so much more comfortable in my own skin. Any insecurities I had before concerning body image are no longer an issue. I don't even let myself go there anymore, because I now have something so much more important to worry about: my child and my family.
After becoming a mother, I also felt such a strong connection to other moms. I am passionate about showing up for other women wherever they are in their life, because I can't tell you how much other women have shown up for me -- everyone from moms on Twitter giving me advice on what to do when Estela was running a fever, vomiting and I could not get in touch with my doctor, to mom friends [watching] Estela for us when something unexpectedly came up. Becoming a mother has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can finally say that I now experience true joy in my life, and it is because I am a mother.
ml: What's the best part about being a mother?
AL: The best part about being a mother is the unconditional love I receive from my daughter.
AL: "Belle" means Southern belle, and "parish" is a term used to describe towns in Louisiana, my home state. So it's Southern girl meets Southern town. Essentially, it's a world that we've created. My business partner, Annie Kate, and I are both from the South, and the concept of Belle Parish is derived from our Southern upbringing and what we were taught as kids. It's all about nostalgia, charm, being a lady, classic styles, etc.
Belle is the inspirational character of the line, and she lives in Belle Parish -- a world of simpler times. I think that in this recession, our ideas about dressing your children really resonate with people. Most people are going back to the basics, thinking about how their parents did things, and Belle Parish represents the sweet simplicity of life. It's not all sparkles and glitter; we believe little girls have the rest of their lives to wear that kind of thing!
ml: You held the title of Miss USA. Do you think you'll enter your daughter, Estela, in pageants?
AL: She's beautiful! I am very grateful for my experience as Miss USA, and I probably would not be where I am today if it wasn't for that opportunity. But I don't think that we will be putting Estela into pageants. We live in a city that offers so many other creative outlets that she can explore. I was not as fortunate, being from a very small town where my resources were very limited.
ml: There is so much pressure on little girls to be thin and beautiful, just like models in the magazines that we seem to idolize. What would you say to moms who want to raise independent and confident girls?
AL: We are very conscious of that, and we are constantly explaining to [Estela] what beauty is. We also try to lead by example in celebrating the differences in others. We also tell her that when you are kind, when you share, when you are loving and giving, thoughtful and respectful ... THAT is beautiful!
ml: How do you balance work, family and the business?
AL: I am trying to figure that out every day. It is definitely a daily struggle. It seems like something always falls short, whether it be not spending enough time with my husband and fulfilling his needs; not always being fully present when I am with my daughter; not giving enough focus to my business because I have so many other hats to wear; or even not having enough "me time" so I can rejuvenate and be my best for everyone else.
The guilt is always there, but I try not to beat myself up about it. I try so hard to do my best, and I know that some days I will do a better job than others. I feel very blessed for the life that I have, and at the end of the day, when push comes to shove and I have to make a choice -- family wins, hands-down.
AL: Currently, we are in about 60 boutiques across the country. You can find a store locator on our website -- www.belleparish.com --
Have you considered adding some videos to your article? I think it might enhance my understanding.
Although I genuinely like this post, I think there was an spelling error shut to the finish from the 3rd section.
I had been wondering if you ever considered replacing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I enjoy what youve got to say. But maybe you could include a a bit more in the way of content so people might connect with it better. You have got a great deal of wording for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hi, I just hopped over to your website through StumbleUpon. Not somthing I would normally browse, but I appreciated your thoughts none the less. Thanks for making something worthy of browsing.
I have got 1 recommendation for your web site. It seems like there are a handful of cascading stylesheet troubles when opening a selection of webpages within google chrome as well as safari. It is running alright in internet explorer. Possibly you can double check that.
I met Ali Landry when she was the reigning Miss USA. It actually was the during her reign when I judged Miss Texas USA. First off she was stunning, but even more than that she was so engaging in the brief moment I met her. With a huge smile, I told her I was from California, and she asked where abouts. I found her not JUST a pretty face, but an engaging beautiful woman with a warm disposition. I wish her nothing but success.

Primrose debuts precious program
Date: July 8, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Six-year-old Sophie Preston plopped down in a blue plastic chair, clutching a picture of Braden, a mixed-breed dog at the Manatee County Humane Society.
"She was walking on the street on New Year's Eve, and someone found her," Sophie said. "I think she's really cute. She's only 3."
Braden is extra special to Sophie, a dog-lover who adopted her dog, Maggie, from the shelter. But she's also special to children such as 5-year-old Andrew Hennesy, who normally are afraid of dogs.
Because, virtually speaking, Braden is theirs.
Sharon Frank, owner of Primrose School at Lakewood Ranch Town Center, handpicked 10 dogs and cats from the Humane Society — one for each classroom — to be "virtually" adopted during the preschool's Helping Hands event, Precious Pets.
For the entire month of July, a picture and biography of each class's adopted pet will be taped to the window of the classroom door. Children will be spending time each day learning about their assigned pet and how to care for it, as well as collecting dog food, treats and other items to donate to the Manatee County Humane Society.
Although Primrose hosts Precious Pets each year, it is the first time students have had an animal to represent the charity, Frank said.
"I think that it brings a stronger connection between the children and the cause," she said. "It gives them a very, very clear connection to what we are doing. And it's exciting for them. They have a whole month to talk about this animal."
Decorated boxes line the hallways of the preschool waiting to be filled with dog food and other items needed by the shelter because of an increase in abandoned animals.
"We're hoping that one of the families ends up going to the Humane Society and eventually adopts one of the pets," Frank added.
The event is part of Helping Hands, a part of Primrose's character development program that teaches children about reaching out to the community.
And Frank hopes to get the community involved in the project, as well. While Primrose parents traditionally provide donations for the Precious Pets event, the community is welcome to participate by donating items.
"We really want to not just make this a school event, but a community event," Frank said. "We will take all the help we can get."
Representatives of the Manatee County Humane Society and Manatee County Commissioner Donna Hayes are scheduled to pick up donations from the school July 31.
Primrose is located at 9127 Town Center Parkway, just behind San Marco Plaza. For more information, contact the school at 373-6363.

Trooper Pooper
Sarah Palin's got some splainin' to do in the sharp recoil of the "Troopergate" report--so sayeth columnist Mark Willen at that writhing disco inferno of political commentary, Kiplinger:
This Sarah Palin who has now been officially accused of ethical violations and won't talk about it -- this political neophyte who burst on the scene six weeks ago and resents any questions about her record -- is the same one going around complaining that voters don't know who Obama is and trying to make him seem shady because he has associated with a '60s radical. And this Sarah Palin who used the levers of power for personal gain is the same one who says her record proves she can reform Washington.
John McCain made a colossal blunder when he picked Palin to be a heartbeat away from the presidency if he wins. It was a major lapse of judgment, a cheap choice driven by political calculations, not the needs of the country. Even many conservatives who otherwise prefer McCain think Palin is in no way qualified. Yet, this was the choice of the candidate who says his opponent lacks good judgment. The irony is that the troopergate investigation was out there from the start and McCain should have known from the start what a problem it was. If he asked Palin about it and she was less than honest, that should be grounds for dumping her. If he didn't ask, well, what was he thinking?
The honorable thing to do would be to drop Palin, not just because of troopergate but because she has proven herself not ready in so many instances and in so many ways. But McCain can't drop her. The GOP base that loves her no matter what would never forgive him. And he can't afford another erratic move three weeks before the Election Day.
But he really ought to at least send her out for her first real news conference of the campaign and make her stay until she answers all the hard questions about her time in office that have been accumulating on this and other matters. It can only help. And besides, the American voters deserve it.
Instead Palin's going to go on Saturday Night Live tonight and cute it up, by gum, giving George Stephanopolous something to chuckle about in his hideous "Sunday funnies" segment.

Few searchers remain in quest for 5 missing in central Idaho plane crash
No 'closure' for now » Some family members turn to satellite imagery as ground search proves fruitless.
By Bob Mims
| The Salt Lake Tribune
First Published Dec 10 2013 10:30 am
Last Updated Dec 11 2013 09:40 am
For Alan Dayton and other relatives grieving for the five people missing in the Dec. 1 crash of a small airplane, closure may have to wait for spring to melt away the deep snow covering the rugged and remote mountains of central Idaho.
On Tuesday, nine days out from when the six-seat, single-engine, 1983-model Beech B36TC aircraft disappeared from radar shortly after its pilot radioed Salt Lake City air traffic controllers about engine trouble, most of the missing's family and friends ended their search.
"We've done everything we can think of doing. [We have] decided it is time to pull up stakes and go home," said Dayton of Salt Lake City, whose nephew Jonathon Norton, and his fiancée Amber Smith, were on the plane. "Hopefully, we'll find them all next summer.
"We will, eventually, find them," Dayton added. "Until then, we will always have our memories of them. Nothing changes that."
However, a small number of the pilot Dale Smith's family, who also was flying his son Daniel Smith and wife Sheree Smith in the aircraft, remained in Idaho as of Tuesday afternoon, according to a Smith family friend, Nadine Bird of San Jose, Calif.
"The Smith family has not given up," she said, while acknowledging that the official search effort, and that by members of the Norton family, had ceased on the ground.
On behalf of the Smith family — which continued to be unreachable for direct comment — Bird and others friends have set up the Search for Dale's Plane website as the search largely shifted to a review of satellite images of the wild region.
A private plane also has been hired by the family to fly over the area.
Meanwhile, the Valley County Sheriff's Office said it would continue to offer what aid it can, albeit at a much scaled back level and depending on any developments.
Bird also told The Salt Lake Tribune that Cascade and Yellow Pine, Idaho, Mormon church members have been helping with meals and accommodations for searchers over the past week and a half.
The official search, involving search and rescue crews and aircraft from multiple county, state and military agencies, had ended last Friday. Authorities then had noted their extensive, albeit unsuccessful efforts, over a week's time to find any trace of the wreckage of passengers — and the danger that deep and continuing snowfall, sub-zero temperatures and the treacherous terrain posed to personnel.
On Tuesday, Dayton said family and friends who had focused on a 9-square-mile area of deep ravines, ragged ridgelines and thick forests about 100 miles northeast of Boise reluctantly came to the same conclusion.
Dayton said searchers have been gathering daily at dawn or earlier, in the tiny town of Cascade, Idaho, and then driving about 50 miles to the search area near the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness.
"That's three hours' driving, all on mountain roads, and once you are there you still have to have all the right gear. Then you find the ridgeline and start hiking, trying to spot one teeny speck [of wreckage] out of a gigantic area," he said.
The families of the missing were discouraged when the official search effort wrapped up late last week, Dayton acknowledged.
"Now, we have a better perspective on how the local sheriff didn't seem to be too encouraging," he added. "It's too rough terrain. The worst thing you can do is have someone who's helping to search for these people to get in trouble themselves."
The plane was en route from Baker City, Ore., to Butte, Mont., when it went down.
Jonathon Norton grew up in Salt Lake City and was a senior at BYU-Idaho, along with Amber Smith. They had planned to be married on Jan. 4.

Three arrested in connection with reported robbery
UPDATED: Police say they've arrested three individuals in connection with an armed robbery that occurred Tuesday morning in Powell. One of the individuals is alleged to have also broken into several vehicles around that same time.
Powell Circuit Court headed to closure
Would make Powell largest city in state to not have Circuit Court
The Wyoming Supreme Court's plans to close the Powell Circuit Court next year are proceeding despite concerns from local officials.
Court administrators say they want the court — along with others in Lovell and Dubois — closed by July 1, 2013 as a cost-cutting measure and consolidated with the one in Cody.
Woman imprisoned for car burglaries
A Powell woman is serving five to seven years in prison for stealing items from more than a dozen cars earlier this year.

Lady Panthers dominate Jackson
Has favor returned by Star Valley
Powell High School's girls basketball team played solid defense in a pair of weekend contests. Unfortunately, the offense was more inconsistent.
The hosting Lady Panthers (4-1 overall, 1-1 in Class 3A West) thumped Jackson 39-23 on Friday night before falling 30-18 to Star Valley on Saturday afternoon.
PHS head coach Scott McKenzie was pleased with the team's man-to-man defense all weekend. The offense executed well on Friday against Jackson, the coach said, before struggling against Star Valley.
Prison time in child abuse case
Probation violation nets five to seven years for former Clark man
Kenneth Vanderford admitted that just a week after being sentenced to probation for abusing his three children, he violated its terms by contacting two of them. An emotional and remorseful Vanderford, 46, pledged in court on Tuesday that the six months he's spent in jail since his May arrest had helped him learn from his "very stupid" decision, and he asked for another chance at probation.

New book depicts Yellowstone then and now
Photographer, local collector chronicle Yellowstone's changes in new book
Photos of early visitors to Yellowstone National Park show people clearly enjoyed the park in a different way than today — bathing in hot springs, feeding bears, etc. — but how much visitors enjoy the site continues to this day.
Money isn't everything in local races
Forking out cash on advertisements, yard signs and other promotional materials isn't enough to win an election in Park County.
Recently-filed campaign finance reports show that top spenders weren't always the top vote-getters in the Nov. 6 general election. In fact, several campaigns — including those for local school and college boards and in support of a proposed 1-cent sales tax — came up short despite having a financial advantage.

Tássia Bianchini, Erratic studies on yellow paper - 2014
Apologies in advance for any spelling errors, I'll fix stuff in the morning…too tired now…
oh hey it's a tutorial on glowing stuff I guess…I already made one 2 years ago but I don't make things glow like that any more :|
…also when I'm manually doing colours I pick things like this as if I was shading.
there's a lot more I could put in as well, but it really varies on the picture how I do the glow…it is usually just fiddling around with styles and colours though.
This is awesome!

"Alfons Maria Mucha (Ivančice, 24 July 1860 – Prague, 14 July 1939), often known in English and French as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, known best for his distinct style. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, postcards, and designs."
Gorgeous. Not much in the art world ticks me off more than seeing people get praised to the sky for flat-out copying a Mucha piece and just calling it "art deco style".

'A Grand Night For Singing'
The Henegar Center for the Arts in Melbourne's downtown theatre district has announced its spring musical, "A Grand Night For Singing," the Tony Award-nominated musical revue by Rodgers and Hammerstein. The show will run March 8-24.
"A Grand Night For Singing" opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical.
Rodgers and Hammerstein's founding fathers probably never imagined "Shall We Dance?" as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer, nor did they suspect that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question. "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" But that's precisely the kind of invention lavished upon this revue, with innovative musical arrangements, including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair," a swingin' "Honeybun" worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy "Kansas City," which leaves no question about how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
Featuring beloved songs from "The King and I," "South Pacific," "State Fair" and more, the play provides new life for these signature songs, echoing the timelessness of Rodgers and Hammerstein's work.

Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon's fiancee Kate.

Tickets cost $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and active military personnel, $13 for students, and opening night is buy one, get one free night! (Caution: Contains occasional profanity.)

The stage entertainment will be throughout the day, with traditional Indian music from the Sitar, Tabla, Santoor and Harmoniuma and live Yoga and Zumba demonstrations.
Then it will come alive with traditional folk, classical and modern Indian dances, while the fashion show will be the highlight of the day.
The grounds will feature vendors selling jewelry, rich colorful ethnic garments, arts and crafts, music and videos. One can indulge in the temporary body art of exotic Henna designs, and live food demonstrations with easy to make recipes.
Indiafest is a wonderful cultural experience for the whole family.
