Clean energy: a 'politically popular' solution to climate change
Richard Caperton of the Center for American Progress says Congress needs to catch up with the American public on using clean energy to slow climate change.
As part of an ongoing series of conversations about building America's energy future, the Monitor hosted a roundtable discussion in Washington on Dec. 12, 2012 with several clean-energy experts. The video below is an excerpt from panelist Richard Caperton, the director of clean energy investment at the Center for American Progress, a Washington-based progressive educational institute. Mr. Caperton speaks about his vision for a bipartisan clean-energy policy in America. The discussion was sponsored by Areva, a Paris-based energy company.

Identity theft and phishing online has become the major practice adopted by many internet users who are waiting for a chance to rob the naive users. It has become very important for online job seekers to know the real job provider among the several in the market. This can be done only by knowing how to identify real online freelance work from scams. You may not be knowing where and how to find the legitimate websites which provides fully secured online jobs and hence may fall victims of online scams. Thus, do not rush to get the job you are looking for and do not be attracted to those too good to be true type advertisements.
Identifying the genuine work from home scams is quite a tough task. However, if you collect little knowledge about the right places to check on while surfing for such websites; this is not the impossible task. Scams are, generally, designed to attract users at the first sight. Such websites are developed with a genuine look and carry slogans that give you a feeling that the next moment after registering under the websites, you will start getting jobs that will pay you huge amounts. But these websites are not secured and they are without any credentials. Check on the legitimacy of the websites by clicking on the golden lock icon and see for the credentials as well.
Most of the online home based business scams offer a registration fee with an appealing discount. Many a time they also offer trial packages and money back offers. The fact, on the other hand, is that the legitimate online freelance websites do not ask for any registration fee and you can start searching for jobs that counts once you have registered under their website. Usually these websites charge a minimal fee which often falls within $5 to $10 on every project you obtain through their website. The money matter is very visible in these legitimate websites. They will also declare all their credentials and legitimacy to their users.
Online work from home scams that do not ask for any fee or ask for only a low fee usually solicit the user to accept payments through an account which is set up by them on the users behalf. They may also inform you that until and unless you earn a minimum amount, which is quite huge, you cannot transfer the fund to your real account. Such websites usually utilize the account for transferring illegal funds which will, later on, drag you to face trials for illegal online activity. Thus, to save yourself from such scams, you must keep in mind the few important terms mentioned herein while searching for online work from home job types.
Remember that the legitimate websites produce clear and precise information on the job requirements and the payment systems. They do not sell themselves by sending out unwanted emails which fills up your inbox every time you open it. Knowing how to identify online work from home scams needs a little research but it will help you a lot in saving yourself from fooling around.

He didnt start hitting his stride until the Oline was mixed up. I think that has made a huge difference. Plus our receivers catching everything all of a sudden.
Bama was ready for us and flat out beat our ass. That's all there is to it. I don't think drew Brees could have saved us.
So you're saying you think he didnt practice throwing at all the entire time hes been at LSU, and it wasn't until January 10th they allowed him to pick up a football
If Mett can take the strides that he did in a one week
The OP was poorly worded. I wasn't implying that Mett should have played on Jan 9th. I was trying to say that Jarrett Lee should have played and we should have thrown the ball
quote:True dat.
The OP was poorly worded.
quote:Now you just went double-tard.
Obviously Lee had the experience of playing for a few years, so if some of the 4 weeks before the NC game was dedicated to developing some passing game plan with Lee
This is what should have happened last year. J lee starts every game jj comes in on certain plays when needed. Mett comes in after game is put away to give him much needed experience. None of that happened because Miles is a tard when it comes to QBs.
Every snap JJ took last year, imagine if Mett had gotten those snaps instead......
Metts plays the first few games doesn't. You people try to over think things to accommodate you're already existing opinions..
last year was a run for a national championship not a time to break in a new qb.
Choctaw is a moron.
You are a dumbass Choctaw

DJ Clue premiered "Celebrate" by Lil Wayne tonight on Power 105. No word at the time of the origins of this positive, uplifting song or when it was recorded.

Changing the Rules of the Blame Game
A cartoon in the Sunday comics shows that mustachioed fellow with monocle and top hat from the Monopoly game -- "Rich Uncle Pennybags," he used to be called -- standing along the roadside, destitute, holding a sign: "Will blame poor people for food."
Time to move the blame to where it really belongs. That means no more coddling banks with bailout billions marked "secret." No more allowing their executives lavish bonuses and new corporate jets as if they've won the megalottery and not sent the economy down the tubes. And no more apostles of Wall Street calling the shots.
Which brings us to Larry Summers. Over the weekend, the White House released financial disclosure reports revealing that Summers, director of the National Economic Council, received $5.2 million last year working for a $30 billion hedge fund. He made another $2.7 million in lecture fees, including cash from such recent beneficiaries of taxpayer generosity as Citigroup, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. The now defunct financial services giant Lehman Brothers handsomely purchased his pearls of wisdom, too.
Reading stories about Summers and Wall Street you realize the man was intoxicated by the exotic witches' brew of derivatives and other financial legerdemain that got us into such a fine mess in the first place. Yet here he is, serving as gatekeeper of the information and analysis going to President Obama on the current collapse.
We have to wonder, when the President asks, "Larry, who did this to us?" is Summers going to name names of old friends and benefactors? Knowing he most likely will be looking for his old desk back once he leaves the White House, is he going to be tough on the very system of lucrative largesse that he helped create in his earlier incarnation as a de-regulating Treasury Secretary? ("Larry?" "Yes, Mr. President?" "Who the hell recommended repealing the Glass-Steagall Act back in the 90s and opened the floodgates to all this greed?" "Uh, excuse me, Mr. President, I think Bob Rubin's calling me.")
That imaginary conversation came to mind last week as we watched President Obama's joint press conference with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. When a reporter asked Obama who's to blame for the financial crisis, our usually eloquent and knowledgeable President responded with a rambling and ineffectual answer. With Larry Summers guarding his inbox, it's hardly surprising he's not getting the whole story.
If only someone with nothing to lose would remind the President of that old story -- perhaps apocryphal but containing a powerful truth -- of the Great Wall of China. Four thousand miles long and 25 feet tall. Intended to be too high to climb over, too thick to break through, and too long to go around. Yet in its first century of the wall's existence, China was successfully breached three times by invaders who didn't have to break through, climb over, or go around. They simply were waved through the gates by obliging watchmen. The Chinese knew their wall very well. It was the gatekeepers they didn't know.
Shifting the blame for the financial crisis to where it belongs also means no more playacting in round after round of congressional hearings devoted more to posturing and false contrition than to truth. We need real hearings, conducted by experienced and fiercely independent counsel asking the tough questions, or an official commission with subpoena power that can generate evidence leading, if warranted, to trials and convictions -- and this time Rich Uncle Pennybags shouldn't have safely tucked away in his vest pocket a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
So far, the only one in the clink is Bernie Madoff and he was "a piker" compared to the bankers who peddled toxic assets like unverified "liars' loan" mortgages as Triple-A quality goods. So says Bill Black, and he should know. During the savings and loan scandal in the 1980s, Black, who teaches economics and law at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, was the federal regulator who accused then-House Speaker Jim Wright and five US Senators, including John Glenn and John McCain, of doing favors for the S&L's in exchange for campaign contributions and other perks. They got off with a wrist slap but Black and others successfully led investigations that resulted in convictions and re-regulation of the savings and loan industry.
Bill Black wrote a book about his experiences with a title that fits today as well as it did when he published it four years ago -- The Best Way to Rob a Bank Is to Own One. On last Friday night's edition of Bill Moyers Journal, he said the current economic and financial meltdown is driven by fraud and banks that got away with it, in part, because of government deregulation under prior Republican and Democratic administrations.
"Now we know what happens when you destroy regulation," Black said. "You get the biggest financial calamity for anybody under the age of 80."
What's more, the government ignored warnings and existing legislation to stop it before the current crisis got worse. "They didn't even begin to investigate the major lenders until the market had actually collapsed, which is completely contrary to what we did successfully in the savings and loan crisis," Black said. "Even while the institutions were reporting they were the most profitable savings and loans in America, we knew they were frauds. And we were moving to close them down."
There was advance warning of the current collapse. Black says that the FBI blew the whistle. In September 2004, "there was an epidemic of mortgage fraud, that if it was allowed to continue it would produce a crisis at least as large as the Savings and Loan debacle."
But after 9/11, "The Justice Department transfers 500 white-collar specialists in the FBI to national terrorism. Well, we can all understand that. But then, the Bush administration refused to replace the missing 500 agents." So today, despite a crisis a hundred times worse than the Savings and Loan scandal, "there are one-fifth as many FBI agents" assigned to bank fraud.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner "is covering up," Black said. "Just like Paulson did before him. Geithner is publicly saying that it's going to take $2 trillion -- a trillion is a thousand billion -- $2 trillion taxpayer dollars to deal with this problem. But they're allowing all the banks to report that they're not only solvent, but fully capitalized. Both statements can't be true. It can't be that they need $2 trillion, because they have massive losses, and that they're fine...
"They're scared to death of a collapse. They're afraid that if they admit the truth, that many of the large banks are insolvent, they think Americans are a bunch of cowards, and that we'll run screaming to the exits... And it's foolishness, all right?
"Now, it may be worse than that. You can impute more cynical motives. But I think they are sincerely just panicked about, 'We just can't let the big banks fail.' That's wrong."
Black asked, "Why would we keep CEO's and CFO's and other senior officers that caused the problems? That's nuts... We're hiding the losses instead of trying to find out the real losses? Stop that... because you need good information to make good decisions... Follow what works instead of what's failed. Start appointing people who have records of success instead of records of failure... There are lots of things we can do. Even today, as late as it is. Even though we've had a terrible start to the [Obama] administration. They could change, and they could change within weeks."
He called for a 21st century version of the Pecora Commission, referring to hearings that sought the causes of the Great Depression, held during the 1930's by the US Senate Committee on Banking and Currency.
Ferdinand Pecora was the committee's chief counsel and interrogator, a Sicilian émigré who was a progressive devotee of trust busting Teddy Roosevelt and a former Manhattan assistant district attorney who successfully helped shut down more than a hundred Wall Street "bucket shops" selling bogus securities and commodity futures. He was relentless in his cross-examination of financial executives, including J.P. Morgan himself.
Pecora's investigation uncovered a variety of Wall Street calumnies -- among them Morgan's "preferred list" of government and political insiders, including former President Coolidge and a Supreme Court justice, who were offered big discounts on stock deals. The hearings led to passage of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
In the preface to his 1939 memoir, Wall Street Under Oath, Ferdinand Pecora told the story of his investigation and described an attitude amongst the Rich Uncle Pennybags of the financial world that will sound familiar to Bill Black and those who seek out the guilty today.
"That its leaders are eminently fitted to guide our nation, and that they would make a much better job of it than any other body of men, Wall Street does not for a moment doubt," Pecora wrote. "Indeed, if you now hearken to the Oracles of The Street, you will hear now and then that the money-changers have been much maligned. You will be told that a whole group of high-minded men, innocent of social or economic wrongdoing, were expelled from the temple because of the excesses of a few. You will be assured that they had nothing to do with the misfortunes that overtook the country in 1929-1933; that they were simply scapegoats, sacrificed on the altar of unreasoning public opinion to satisfy the wrath of a howling mob..."
According to Politico.com, at his March 27 White House meeting with the nation's top bankers, President Obama heard similar arguments and interrupted, saying, "Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn't buying that... My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks."
Stand aside, Mr. President, and let us prod with our pitchforks to get at the facts.

Welcome to the DLG B
The Digital Library of Georgia (DLG) is excited to unveil its own blog. With over two hundred collections from sixty institutions, an ever increasing archive of historic Georgia newspapers, a public domain repository of government publications, and the ground breaking Civil Rights Digital Library, the DLG is large, diverse and truthfully a bit difficult to "grasp."
The DLG B attempts to increase the visibility of these valuable materials from Georgia's past, while also calling deserved attention to the institutions responsible for preserving them. A resource of this scope could not exist without the long term collaboration of state government, universities, archives, museums and public libraries (and the people powering them, of course).
We hope to introduce the student, the scholar, and the simply curious to the profound and the familiar-but-perhaps-forgotten. We also plan to keep you updated on new projects at the DLG, and to let you know when new resources are available.
So – if you'd please – add us to your rss feed; share our posts when you're inclined (yup, just click the "share" button right down there); visit us at our Facebook page; keep one eye out for us on twitter; and we promise to bring you the DLG that you have rarely seen.
The DLG is an initiative of GALILEO.
Courtney permalinkJune 16, 2010
Glad to see DLG B! I'm looking forward to seeing all the Georgia treasures you will share.

Israel's reserves of foreign currency totaled $77.4 billion at the end of June 2011, the Bank of Israel announced Thursday.
During June, the BOI purchased $425 million in foreign currency; the rest of the reserves increase was due to government transfers from abroad; a currency revaluation; and private sector transactions.
In May 2011, the BOI purchased $200 million in foreign currency – after buying $1.4 billion in April 2011.
At the beginning of May, BOI Governor Stanley Fischer told the Wall Street Journal that he foresaw strong economic growth for Israel for Q1 2011 and hoped for minimal currency intervention.
Fischer noted that the BOI had revised its Q1 growth estimates upward from 3.8% to 4.5%, and Fischer said even faster growth in the quarter wouldn't come as a surprise.
Discussing foreign exchange rates, Fischer said he was prepared for more currency intervention if the shekel's value was not deemed "appropriate" but hoped that the need for such policy would be minimal.
The BOI head, pointing to a recent series of hikes in the country's interest rate and the shekel's continued rise, admitted that the central bank was willing to accept a stronger shekel.
Over the past year, the shekel has gained against the dollar despite Fischer's repeated interventions, which have raised the BOI's foreign currency reserves to new record levels. The bank is seeking to cool Israel's spiraling housing market and in addition to taking steps to weaken the shekel has introduced a series of mortgage reforms.

September Ends
The first time I connected with the rock band Green Day was way back in 2004. Sure, I had heard a few of their songs before that, but I had been too busy raising young children, playing pirates, and reading William Joyce picture books to listen to much new besides kid tunes.
But that day was different.
Earlier, my oldest had left to start junior high, and I had just dropped my youngest off for his first day of Kindergarden. It was one of those times when you realize everything changes after that day. I was happy for them, of course, and their new adventures, but for me? Well, I really didn't know how I felt.
Then it happened.
"Wake Me Up When September Ends" came on the radio. Billie Joe Armstrong sang of pain, sadness of time passing, dread, loss of innocence, and wanting to go back to bed and hide beneath the covers. The tears came stronger than I ever imagined.
Oh, September, how you vex me so!
This year, four weeks of such promise withered a little each day, draining my spirit and crushing my verve, and resulted in unfulfilled expectations, disappointment, loss, and failure.
We all have those times, don't we? Those days when nothing seems to go our way, no matter how hard we work. Well, this September has had thirty of them, and I'm ready to turn the calendar page in hopes of a better October.
September, I gladly bid you farewell. Plague me no more!

I honestly don't think this is the case here. He's imploding all on his own. He knew this would likely come to light but did nothing to prepare for it. He's been denying it for the last week which is just feeding the media circus around him. He's doing just about everything he shouldn't be doing in this situation.
Also the names of the first victims are known to the media, they're just not being disclosed for privacy reasons. So this wasn't some anonymous smear campaign either. Then now that this fourth lady has come out and accused him, it'll only go deal hill from here. Particularly with this fourth lady, what does she really have to gain for going public anyway other than to expose the truth?

Editorial calendars are a great way to plan your content ahead of time. Although it takes a fair amount of time to plan out your content in advance, knowing where you're going helps reduce the writer's block that often comes as a result of having no clue what to write about.
Editorial calendars can also help ensure that you have a good amount of variety on your blog and often result in publishing blog posts more consistently.
This post will show you how I use Google calendar to plan out blog posts, but you can apply the same principles to plan out your Facebook Twitter, Pinterest, and other social media posts.
Why I Use Google Calendar as My Editorial Calendar of Choice
I've tried a lot of different tools for my editorial calendar, and after a lot of experimentation, I landed on Google calendars for the following reasons:
- I can access the calendar from any computer that has an Internet connection
- I can access the calendar from my phone.
- I can easily share the calendar with team members.
- I can merge, show, or hide different calendars at any time.
- I can have multiple calendars for different purposes inside of one account
- I can color code each entry on the calendar
- I can put a ton of information in the description area
- I can attach images and other items to the each entry
- I can easily move any blog post to a different date if something comes up that alters my schedule
- I can incorporate tasks into my calendar
- Google calendars are free!
A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Google Calendar as Your Editorial Calendar
If I've convinced you that Google calendars are a great way to set up an editorial calendar, follow the steps below, and you'll have an editorial calendar in place in no time.
#1: Create a separate Google calendar for your editorial calendar.
The first thing you need to do is to create a Google calendar. Too keep things neat and tidy, I like having multiple calendars, for various reasons. For example, I have a separate Google calendar for my blog, Professional Content Creation. If you have more than one blog, or if you write content for other people, you'll likely want multiple calendars, one for each site.
Whether you have one calendar or many is totally up to you, but you'll want at least one editorial calendar, in addition to your personal calendar.
#2: Determine your posting frequency.
There are a lot of different opinions on how frequently you should post on your blog. The bottom line is that you need to figure out what will work for you, specifically what you can do consistently. This may be 1 blog post a week, 3 per week, or a daily post.
Though not required, you may also want to post certain types of content different days of the week. For example, a written blog post on Monday, a video on Wednesday, and a podcast on Fridays. Deciding this ahead of time will keep you on track when you actually plug the information into your calendar.
#3: Brainstorm a list of blog post ideas.
There's nothing worse than sitting down at your computer, opening your calendar, and having your mind blank out. For this reason, it's best to do some brainstorming and come up with a good solid list of blog post ideas, before you ever open your calendar.
Choose one or two of the following ways to come up with ideas:
- Select 5 – 10 blog categories, and make a list of 5-10 ideas for blog posts under each category.
- Make a list of questions that your clients or customers ask
- Open a Word document and set a timer for 30 minutes. Write any idea that comes to your mind, as fast as you can. Don't worry about whether or not they are good ideas; you can later delete any that aren't any good.
- If you've set up Google Alerts for your niche, you can skim through the alerts to find ideas.
- If you've jotted down ideas as they've come to you on your phone or in a notebook, pull out those lists to see if there are any blog post ideas that you'd like to add to your calendar.
The number of ideas that you come up with at a time is up to you. Some people plan a year's worth of content at a time, others only a month. For me, quarterly is a happy medium.
I generally try to come up with about 40 – 50 blog post ideas at a time, which is plenty of titles to be able to post 3 times per week for the next quarter.
#4: Plug in your information from your blog post idea list to Google Calendar.
Now that you have your list of your blog posts created, know your posting frequency, and have a list of blog post ideas, you're ready to start plugging information into your calendar.
- Start with broad categories. For instance, if you plan to publish a podcast episode once a week, make that a recurring item on your calendar.
- Go from broad to specific. For instance, using the podcast example, replace the generic, "podcast" calendar entry with, "Podcast Interview: Joe Schmoe" or whatever title you're giving to the specific post.
- Keep in mind that these are ideas, not the final post, so don't get hung up on the specific title. For instance, you may write, "Google Calendar as an Editorial Calendar" just to remind yourself of what the post is supposed to be about.
#5: Take full advantage of the description box.
One of the things I love best about using a Google calendar as an editorial calendar is that I can put everything I need for the blog posts into the calendar entry. Here are some of the things that I put in the description box:
- A basic idea of what I want the post to be about. I use the description box to capture any general thoughts I have about the post so that when I look at it perhaps weeks later, I'll remember what I want to include. Sometimes the title alone is not enough to jar my memory.
- Links to resources – these may be articles that have facts I want to use in the post, or posts (even of my own) that I want to be sure to link to within the blog post.
- Phone numbers, email addresses, or other types of contact information. This is super helpful for things such as interviews, that involve other people.
- An outline of the post.
The image below shows part of what I put in the description box for this post:
#6: Use the attachment option to upload images and other items right to the calendar.
In same way the description box helps me keep track of ideas, the attachment option in Google calendar helps me to keep track of things that I want to add to the blog post such as photos.
#7: Add tasks to your calendar.
A task list is a great way to break into smaller chunks any blog posts that require multiple steps.
Tasks list are especially helpful if you need to do any prep work before writing the post or if you are dependent on anyone else in any way.
For example, if you're planning on interviewing someone for your post, you'll need to make arrangements for the interview ahead of time. In that case, you'd likely want to put the post idea on your calendar, and a task to arrange for the interview on your calendar at least one month earlier than the scheduled post.
You can also use tasks to assign various duties to other team members.
#8: Block out time to write.
Organizing everything on your editorial calendar does no good if you don't actually sit down and write. Regardless of whether you block out time to write on your editorial calendar, your personal calendar, or your business calendar, schedule time to write. Treat your time to write the same way you'd treat any other important business appointment and only reschedule it when absolutely necessary.

Being aware of how much illegal activity occurs in abortion clinics, and what the red flags are which indicate it may be happening, can enable employees to protect themselves, and can enable pro-life people to help those employees leave the clinics, eventually shutting them down.
What kind of illegal activities are we speaking about?
The list includes income tax evasion, Medicaid fraud, insurance fraud, money laundering, sexual harassment of employees, sexual assault of patients, physical assault of patients, statutory rape, health and safety issues within the clinic, and consumer fraud, among others.
These activities are rampant in abortion clinics, because these clinics are the most unregulated surgical facilities in the nation. After all, you can't practice vice virtuously, and when your conscience is so diluted that you can kill innocent babies, these other violations are small potatoes in comparison.
Now many people may think that the staff workers in these facilities — such as the receptionists, the assistants, the "counselors," — are hard-core, fully-committed pro-abortion persons. But that is not the case. Many of them are against abortion, or don't even think about the moral aspects of it. And it does not take much to convince many of them to leave, especially if they realize they might be unwitting accomplices in illegal activity.
By letting these clinic workers know the kinds of illegal activities in which they may be implicated, we in the pro-life community can bring many of them out of the industry, and bring legal action against the clinics.
My friend Mark Crutcher and his team at Life Dynamics, Inc. have established a
website, www.clinicworker.com, which gives more details about how to detect
this illegal activity. Regarding signs of possible income tax evasion, for example, one should ask questions like, Does your employer or director use multiple accounting ledgers?; Are financial records ever written in pencil?; and Does the clinic ever fail to give receipts for cash payments?
In many of the areas mentioned above, one has a moral and even legal obligation to report actual or possible abuses. Moreover, if an employee knows of such situations, others do as well. The first person to bring forward such
information is often protected if authorities can be led to apprehend those responsible, and rewards sometimes accompany the revelation of these crimes.
Pro-life people have an opportunity to alert clinic workers to this situation by means of a new poster and business cards available through the website, www.clinicworker.com, or by calling (940) 380 – 8800. The poster should be used at demonstrations at abortion sites, and it is particularly important to go there on days when abortions are not being performed, because staff persons present on those days are more likely to both notice and talk about these matters.
Let's use this new and powerful approach today!

2-Year-Old Trick-Shot Star Titus Gets Help from Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper
Two-year-old trick-shot phenom Titus is back at it, and this time, he got some help from movie stars Channing Tatum and Bradley Cooper.
There are some pretty cool shots in this video. Titus nails one from seven stories up and he sinks another at a Wichita State basketball game. At one point, he even makes a kid in a Brandon Weeden jersey celebrate, which is pretty impressive.
It's not the youngster's first trick-shot video, and he has even made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Hat tip to The Post Game for the find.

Medical Definition of Syndrome, SAPHOSyndrome, SAPHO: SAPHO syndrome is an eponym for a condition which is characterized by a combination of:
SAPHO syndrome, it is thought, may be related to the group of arthritis conditions which typically affect the spine called the spondyloarthropathies and which include ankylosing spondylitis and Reiter syndrome. The eponym SAPHO is pronounced "saffo" like the name of the ancient Greek poet Sappho (whose concise intense lyric poetry was so superb that two centuries after her death Plato called her the tenth muse).

Seeing as we are definitely in peak porch season right now, this simple, stylish porch makeover could not have come at a better time. Rachael took it upon herself to fix up this neglected area of her rented home, and in the end, her landlords were so pleased with the results that they plan to reimburse her for all the amazing work she's done. Great work, Rachael! — Kate
Have a Before & After you'd like to share? Shoot me an email with your images right here! (Low res, under 500k per image, please.)
Read more about Rachael's porch makeover after the jump!
Time: 6 weeks
Cost: $250
Basic Steps: This porch was mostly used for storage before I moved in. I put a chair and table out there, but it never really felt right. It had such great potential with 15′ ceilings and a great view that I kept thinking that with a few minor updates, it could be really cool. I'm just renting, but I knew there were things I could do.
Great makeover! Where did you get the pillow fabric? I think it really makes the space pop.
a very fresh feeling space. love it!
Amazing job!
Wow! It such a fresh little spot to sit with the door propped open, drinking some lemonade. I'd hang there!
Rachael did an amazing job showing creativity and vision: the porch looked like a bad dream before she tore into it. I happen to know that Rachael's was raised by wolves and am sure that such a feral upbringing has allowed her to bring domesticity and class to any environment she finds herself in, whether it be cave or brownstone.
That's amazing! Looks so great and for so little!
This is awesome and gives me so much hope for our own porch (which looks eerily similar to the before picture). Thanks so much for sharing this.
On another note… how in the world was that above photo taken?
My back pork looks almost identical to the before photo, only with carpet (yech) instead of linoleum. It also looks like your space suffers from some water damage as well, much like my space. Is that true? I've pretty much given up on my rear porch because of the damage, but you've given me some hope for a pretty space!
This is the kind of successful, realistic makeovers I wish I could see more of! Great job. Thanks for the motivation (from another renter in a pricey city).
I want to go to there!
Love it! What an excellent job you did, happy that your landlord will reimburse you – you deserve it!
@PearlGateway -
Wow! What an amazing transformation! I love the pictures hanging over the window! xo
What a cozy little space…well done! And for $250? I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing this before + after, I'm all about it! Xo, Katie
It looks fantastic. Great job!
this is gorgeous! what an amazing transformation – i would be so, SO reluctant to do this kind of work to my rented space. glad your landlords see the value of the work you've done and will reimburse you! great job.
I am insanely impressed, goodness. And it makes me sad that I'm not doing more with my porch, which is actually in pretty fantastic condition. I need to get on that! Wonderful before & after, and very inspiring :)
Oh my word, I love it!! Rach, you have a real gift. So, see you at my place next week to make over my room!?
Well done! I rented a place with a porch in similar condition. I wonder if yours smelled of cat urine, too? I'm long gone from that place, but it makes me want to take the uglies out of my house now (hello, entry!).
It's so nice to see a stunning transformation with a realistic budget. While it's always inspiring to see top tier work, I already know that spending the equivalent of three year's salary would yield an incredible space. This is a great example of a more attainable "roll up your sleeves and get crafty" project — the reason I love Design*Sponge!
Pretty impressed.
Hands down the best before and after I have seen on Design Sponge!
I agree that it's wonderful to see such an incredible transformation on a realistic budget. This kind of thing will inspire more people to take on exciting projects to beautify their homes. A little bit of elbow grease is often half the battle! Well done!
Great job. A room you would never want to sit in is now so inviting. It's great to hear the landlord appreciates your efforts too. I'm impressed with the small budget.
I'm always impressed by the before and afters on Design Sponge, but on seeing this one I actually let out a gasp! And on such a small budget! Amazing and inspiring
Looks amazing! Very inspiring for us renters! Love how everything looks fresh and clean.
Those black leather chairs are wonderful!! Are they vintage? Recovered? Would love to know where they came from!
So Stylish! And inviting! You took it back to the basics and brought it bad from its' sad sad state. Box wine here we come. Totally unbiased opinion. Mamalou
So impressive, great job!
Use an electric sander on the walls?
This turned out so great! Love the overhead shot ;) Ooh and pretty fabric pattern choices!
Well there is drastic changes between before and after…Reaaly appraising thing you did…Really interesting..I like this type of post.
Looks great – the white walls, wood floor and bold pattern fabrics make for a really cool space without looking like you're trying to hard. Really fab. Please can you share where the fabric for the cushions is from, I'm in love!
Thanks so much to everyone who commented! It was a lot of fun and well worth it!
The fabric is an Amy Butler pattern from a few years ago – Lotus Cherry I believe. The chairs are vintage – (Consider H Willet furniture company, KY – 1958). Lastly, I climbed the ladder to take the overhead shot. There's a ladder on the wall that leads up to the roof.
hillary- i love the 30 rock quote and i share the sentiment! i t00 want to go to there, gorgeous job rachael!
oooo and samesies about the fabric, so divine!
Just exactly my style! I want a lake cottage to design exactly that way….I'm Derek's step-mom, so I'll enlist your help when the time comes!
The 4 small paintings above the window are from an Etsy designer – TastesOrangey.
Wow, Rachael your porch looks amazing! I can't believe how much you transformed that space. And I am totally flattered you incorporated my prints into your design…so neat they each fit into their own little nook!
THAT is a makeover. Insane! So pretty.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
As an Arizona DUI attorney, my clients are often puzzled by the arresting officer's request to gaze deep into their eyes. After all, this is Arizona. "Blood shot and watery" eyes can be simply a sign of allergy season. Arizona DUI cops however, are peering into drivers' eyes in the hopes of finding something a little more incriminating than a need for over-the-counter medication.
First off, let me emphasize that Arizona law requires a suspected impaired driver to submit to any breath, blood or urine tests that might be requested by the police. Refuse to submit to a requested chemical test and there will be harsh consequences.
Arizona law does not, however, compel a suspected impaired driver to submit to any field sobriety tests. All field sobriety tests, including any tests involving the eyes, must be 100% voluntary. There are no legal ramifications for declining to participate in any field sobriety test.
In retrospect, many of my DUI clients realize that their agreement to perform field sobriety tests was made in haste and ill-advised. Most blame their agreeable nature on their parents. After all, we were all taught as kids to always cooperate with the police. Many of my clients have the mistaken belief that by cooperating, the officer will score their tests more favorably. Then, of course, there are those clients that are so intoxicated at the time of their arrest that the alcohol in their body simply prevents their brain from realizing that their body is, in fact, impaired.
The reality is that DUI officers never score cooperation as a sign of sober driving. And contrary to popular belief, field sobriety tests are never graded pass/fail by the officer. Based on their training, DUI cops are looking for tiny clues of impairment. This is because the legal standard for DUI in Arizona is not "fall down drunk" but impaired to the "slightest degree." The simple truth is that the more tests you agree to perform, the more indicators of impairment the officer will invariably observe.
This is also true of field sobriety tests involving the eyes – such as the horizontal gaze nystagmus test (HGN). Nystagmus is an involuntary jerking or bouncing of the eyeball. In the impaired driving context, alcohol consumption can hinder the ability of the brain to correctly control eye muscles, thereby causing the eye to jerk or bounce when a person looks to the side without moving his or her head. HGN involves observation of the suspect's pupil as it follows a moving object (usually a pen or small flashlight), noting for each eye the:
While the science behind HGN can tend to overly impress some jurors, the Arizona Supreme Court has declared that:
The officer may not testify regarding accuracy in estimating BAC from the [HGN] test, nor may the officer estimate whether BAC was above or below .10%. The officer's testimony is limited to describing the results of the [HGN] test and explaining that, based on the officer's experience, the results indicated a neurological impairment, one cause of which could be alcohol intoxication.
State ex. rel Hamilton v. City Court of City of Mesa, 165 Ariz. 514, 517, 799 P.2d 855, 858 (1990) (en banc). To Read Click Here
Whenever a DUI arrest has been based totally or in part on HGN, it is imperative that you discuss your case with an experienced DUI attorney. Some officers that conduct HGN have never been properly trained and certified. Even when certified, many officers do not accurately follow the procedures they were taught for administering the HGN test. These, and other reasons, could result in your HGN test being kept from the jury.

Blog — What's New
Hello Penguins!
Last week, we asked you tell us all about a movie starring your penguin. Here's the rundown of the movie Blublukiwi would make:
My movie would be about a penguin and her friends are adventuring aboard the Migrater with, of course, Captain Rockhopper! When things were going good aboard the ship, a giant squid splashes the Migrater to an amazing island! The island is covered with beautiful trees with fruit, beaches, and adventures! The island is home to a tribe of penguins called the Maka Taka Tribe. All the penguins they meet have incredible talents! They play unique games, play music, dance, and create! They also have colors, incredible colors! Some of the penguins have stripes, some have polka dots, some are neon, some are camo, and some have regular colors. One of the penguins was out adventuring when he noticed something terrible! There was a valcano, and it was ready to errupt! Will the penguins ever make it home? Will they be able to save their new friends as well? I going to call the movie "The Mysterious Island of the Maka Taka Tribe."
Wow. That's definitely a movie I'd go see. I'd even join a tribe of pirates in line at a midnight showing for it!
So... now that the Hollywood Party is rolling, what do you LOVE about it? Tell us in a comment!
We'll feature one of your answers next week. The featured penguin will get their moment in the spotlight AND 10,000 coins!
Until then … Waddle On!
-Club Penguin Team

Cindi Creager
Director of National News
(646) 871-8019
On April 13, Fox News commentator Glenn Beck communicated misinformation to his viewers about the Iowa Supreme Court decision that ended the exclusion of loving, committed same-sex couples from marriage in that state.
During a discussion with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, Beck said:
"Marriage, however, is different, because I believe this case is actually about going into churches and going in and attacking churches and saying you can't teach anything else."
Beck needs to read the actual Iowa Supreme Court ruling. On pages 66 and 67, the ruling clearly states that religious institutions' doctrine and decisions about who they will and will not marry are not affected by the decision:
In the final analysis, we give respect to the views of all Iowans on the issue of same-sex marriage – religious or otherwise – by giving respect to our constitutional principles. These principles require that the state recognize both opposite-sex and same-sex civil marriage. Religious doctrine and views contrary to this principle of law are unaffected, and people can continue to associate with the religion that best reflects their views. A religious denomination can still define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and a marriage ceremony performed by a minister, priest, rabbi, or other person ordained or designated as a leader of the person's religious faith does not lose its meaning as a sacrament or other religious institution. The sanctity of all religious marriages celebrated in the future will have the same meaning as those celebrated in the past. The only difference is civil marriage will now take on a new meaning that reflects a more complete understanding of equal protection of the law. This result is what our constitution requires.
