Hello! I'll go ahead and answer some of the most frequently asked questions here. Please do me a solid and read through this before sending a message. :D If you still have a question after reading through this, or if you emailed me a while back and haven't gotten a response (very sorry about that!), please shoot me a message over on Etsy!
Are You Accepting Commissions?
I'm not open for individual commissions currently; however, if you are a company/looking for licensed artwork, something of that sort, feel free to message me and inquire about my rates/availability! :) I am especially fond of doing cover work, so if you're a company looking for a cover artist and are interested in my art, feel free to shoot me a message to see if I have a spot open! :D
Unrelated To Art—But Here's Info On My Hair Because I Get A Lot Of Questions On How I Dye It/Maintain The Colour.
I get asked about my bright hair quite a bit! To get hair colour this vibrant, you have to bleach it if you don't already have very light hair. I get tons of people with dark hair asking me if they have to bleach—YES. You do. Sorry, I know that's not the answer you want. I had black hair before I started dying my hair, so it was definitely a necessity.
For any colors like blue or violet or cotton candy pink, you will need to tone it after you bleach. I used a silver/ash blonde toner from Sally's. Don't bleach more than once in a week or two week period if you want to keep your hair healthy. Deep condition it often to try and repair your hair. Do a strand test before all dyes to make sure you're gonna like the colour. Bright colors WILL BLEED—there is no stopping it. It won't be so bad after the first couple of days, but it will always bleed a tiny bit in the shower. To save yourself some ruined towels and pillowcases, either buy black ones or buy ones that are the same colour as your hair. To slow down the fading of colour, only wash it in cold water. I went a step further and stopped shampooing completely (Google the "no-poo" technique and you'll see it's a thing). My hair is MUCH healthier now that I only condition it. I also try and only wash it two times a week. Doing all of these things enable me to keep very vibrant hair for about a month and a half or so. Dyes I recommend: Special Effects, Lunatik, Manic Panic, Pravana Vivids and Punky Colour. Ion Brilliance is "okay" and Splat will do in a pinch. I haven't tried any others.
If you have any other hair-related questions: I guarantee you can find the answers on Google or YouTube. :D That's how I figured all this hair bullshit out!
Will You Design A Tattoo For Me?
No, sorry!
What Are Your Rates?
I am currently not giving out my hourly rate, as I'm not totally open for commissions, and my rate might change by the time I open them back up.
Will you do free work for me? What if I will pay you in publicity/exposure! Shipping is really high to my country; can you send me high-res files? I promise I'll only print one off! Can I have free samples to review? Free art for promotion?
No, no, no, no, no, noooo and no! <3
When do you post portraits for sale in your etsy shop? May I reserve a spot?
I am not currently offering portraits, but do check back from time to time!
The print on my shirt came out wrong. Do something!
I don't do any of the t-shirt printing myself. I only do the designing, so it is best to contact the company you purchased them from first. Sadly, I can do nothing for you, personally. If you have issues with Etsy art prints, please message my partner on Etsy.
Second: It is very possible that the tee you purchased is distressed, which is something I do a lot. It's intended to give it an aged effect. If it looks a little aged in the preview, then that's how it's supposed to look on the tee, too.
May I use your art for promoting my product?
No. I don't like my art to be associated with other brands/projects I'm not involved with. I like to keep close tabs on my art. Sorry!
You should create x, x and x! It would be awesome and I'd buy it.
Unfortunately I don't really have time to take up many suggestions, as I have a lot of other work going on at the moment.
Is all of your work licensed?
A lot of my work (Firefly, Marvel, etc.) is licensed, official work. What isn't is transformative/parody work inspired by pop culture. I love painting and paying homage to things I love.
Why aren't some of your designs available?
Some are awaiting approval, while some never got approval and are just portfolio pieces now.
What's your XBL/Steam tags and can I friend you on FB?
I tend to only want to play with people I know in real life (no offense!), and you're welcome to subscribe to my personal FB page or "like" my art page. I make a lot of things public, but for the most part I just friend people I know IRL. No hard feelings! :)
Can I send you the prints I bought to have them autographed?
Not currently, but I d have autographed prints available in my Etsy store now! :)
Can I use X design as a tattoo?
Absolutely! You don't have to message me to ask. The ONLY thing I ask is PLEASE buy a print of the design you want. This serves two purposes: it helps to support me and my art, and you can bring it into your tattoo artist so they can work off of that instead of a low res JPG. Please send me a photo afterward. :) I absolutely love seeing people get my artwork tattooed on them.
Can I use your art on things on my etsy store? (Coasters, shoes, etc.)
Thank you for asking, but no you may not.
What program do you use to create your work?
All Photoshop and my giant Cintiq. I don't know diddly squat about illustrator. :3 I tried, briefly, but it's just not as fun for me!
Where can I find your shirts?
All of my shirts available for purchase are listed on this website!
What cons do you usually go to?
Any con in Chicago/the midwest area. Currently I'm going to C2E2, Denver Comicon, GenCon, Emerald City Comicon, DragonCon and New York Comicon.
Can I interview you?
If they are text-only and shorter, then maybe! Shoot me a message and ask. :)
But I am open to interviews for publications, though I generally don't do video interviews. I prefer e-mail ones, please!
Will you be my mentor?
The fact that you thought to ask me is wonderful and super sweet and I'm very flattered, but I unfortunately am unable to do that at the moment. Thank you so much and good luck in all that you do.
Will you donate art to me for *insert charity here*?
Sorry, but again, this is a request I get a lot. So only donate to charities of my choosing, sorry!
Will you share x, x or y on your page?
No. I try to keep my page focused on my own artwork / artwork in general. I don't like to use it as a platform for others to gain likes/shares. I tend to only share things that I feel people who follow me would be interested in seeing. I do not participate in that "share for share" nonsense.
What is your process?
All Photoshop on Cintiq 24HD. Draw a small thumbnail sketch, gather references, refine sketch, remove anti aliasing, colour, halftone and finished.
How do you like your Cintiq versus other tablets?
Cintiq 24HD is miles above all the other tablets I've used. I haven't tried the Yiynova so I can't be sure, but I would recommend it over a Cintiq if you're NOT a professional. If this is your job, however, I'd go for the Cintiq (at least from all the comparisons I've read).
Please email me so I can ask you a question
I get asked this a lot.. or "email me so we can discuss a commission." Just message me first, I don't bite! :)
"Can You Please Give Me Some Advice On Art, Various Career Stuff, Etc. Etc.?"
I receive a lot of emails asking for advice, and I really appreciate that you value my input! Thank you so much for that. :) Unfortunately, though, I can't dole out a ton of useful advice to everyone that emails me, because I tend to be kinda wordy, it would take up too much time, and I would be making less art. :( I don't mind talking about it at conventions! :D Here is some advice that I tend to give everyone just starting out: The mantra I've used throughout my career has been "Fake it until you make it," and that's essentially the summary of my career-related advice. :)
Other things I abide by and have learned over the years: draw every day. Don't expect anything to be handed to you. Be a decent person. Help others. NEVER feel entitled to anything. Be kind. Research anything and everything you're curious about. Don't get in your own way. Don't burn bridges. Don't tear down other people in order to build yourself up. If you instead build others up, you'll be building yourself up, too.
Question not answered here? Have a product photo you want to send to me? Emailed me but haven't gotten a response back? I decided it's easier to centralize where I get my messages/where I respond from, so I'm only handling correspondence through Etsy--it's just easier to keep things organized that way. So if you haven't gotten a response from me through email or elsewhere in a while, please shoot me a message on Etsy and either my partner or I will get back to you within a few days: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MeganLaraArt.

Dryslwyn Fawr could be considered a bargain to the right buyer.
That is a buyer who has a bucket-load of cash to remodel, or one who's looking to start up a brand new holiday-letting/dining experience in one of Wales' most beautiful spots.
Not only does the Grade II listed property, which is in Llanarthne, Carmarthenshire , have nine bedrooms, there's also an holiday cottages on site, a function barn, a former restaurant space and commercial kitchen, landscaped gardens and tennis courts.
Oh, and there's a pig sty too.
If that's not enough of a sweetener for you, the view might convince. This property is located in the Towy Valley with views of both Dryslwyn Castle and Paxton's Tower.
The main farmhouse at Dryslwyn Fawr is thought to date back to the 1760s and was a model farm for the Cawdor Estate.
Its main reception hall provides access to all of the principal reception rooms including the dining room with wooden floors, exposed beams and an open fireplace and the drawing room with wood block flooring, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove providing a warm focal point.
An internal door leads through to the second reception hall. Along the main hall at the rear is the sitting/music room with exposed beams, painted stone walls and an open fireplace with a brick surround.
Also at the rear of the house is a second kitchen with fitted units and a stone slab floor together with the main staircase to the first floor.
The second reception hall leads into an office area that in turn leads to the main kitchen/breakfast room which has an inglenook fireplace with brick bread oven and an AGA cooking range.
There are then nine bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room over the two upper floors and there's also further accommodation in a self-contained cottage.
Converted courtyard buildings include the former Thresher barn which is was the Fig Tree Restaurant which closed in 2011. With its creeper covered walls and arches, the restaurant offered dining on three levels, an upstairs bar and audio systems throughout with covers for 60 and up to 140 for wedding functions.
In addition to this barn there's also The Coach House - another function space that also houses a one bedroom studio apartment.
Also on the property are three stone terrace cottages, a cowshed, pig sty, tennis court and landscaped gardens.
The entire property covers 4.2 acres and is listed for a cool £1.3m. For more information on Dryslwyn Fawr contact Savills, Cardiff on 029 2243 0212

Whether you're new to camping or looking for an experience that has elements of home mixed with camping, Pinewood Lodge has something for you. The Plymouth, MA campground, function hall and RV park has areas for tents and offers a range of rental units to fit any camper's needs. Pinewood Lodge President James Saunders says the campground has many of the same amenities of home with the feel of the outdoors. As a family business going into their fourth generation, the staff has tried to create a space where your family can truly feel at home.
"We offer different types of rental units from basic cabins up to cottages with all the comforts of home," Saunders says. "If you are new to camping or simply seek to stay in something which is more like home, one of our rental unites might perfectly suit your tastes."
The buildings themselves are rustic, built from knotty pine wood that was salvaged from hurricanes in 1938 and 1942. Cottages start as small yurts and get as big as a lake house with a full kitchen, multiple bedrooms and an awesome view of the lake. There are also mid-sized cottages for those who have smaller groups or don't need as many amenities. However, even if you're staying in an RV, there are still amenities available to you.
"We have everything here at Pinewood, from full hookup sites that can fit any size rig down to no hookup tent sites," Saunders says. "We have three full service restrooms, two dump stations, cable television to a majority of our sites, and even a full time RV service professional to help keep your RV running the way it should."
Specific amenities include: Wi-Fi hotspot, cable TV with more than 70 channels, water hookups, sewer hookups, RV storage, showers, fax and copy services, rental units, daily newspapers, laundry, snack bar, a library, firewood, ice, groceries, boating and horseshoes as recreational activities.
"We also run all sorts of activities, such as craft classes, sports tournaments, scavenger hunts, dances, free bingo and special events on our themed weekends," Saunders says. "Luau Weekend, Halloween, Christmas in July and Western Weekend are some of our biggest themed weekends. Events for these weekends include line dancing, Luau party by the lake, site decorating contests and a visit from Santa himself."
Pinewood Lodge sits on 200 acres in a white pine forest and has 300 shaded campsites. The lake is a 50-acre fresh water lake that guests can boat on or play in, including fishing for bass. The property has all the makings for a simple getaway or an exciting family vacation. To make a reservation, visit the Pinewood Lodge website.

Commander Conway relaxed against the park bench on Flower Walk and lowered his eyes to study the shoes and trouser legs as they passed. There were more flats than heels on the women and the male black oxfords and ox blood brogues had, for the most part, been replaced by loafers and thick-soled sneakers. The pigeons looked the same, as did the sparrows and starlings and there were more pram wheels and the like. He decided the British must be breeding again.
He didn't look up when Nigel arrived but waited while he stared down a while, then sat beside him. "Here we are then," John said. "Come full circle 'ave we?"
"Nice to meet again John. Not sure if we are full circle. You did call me." Sir Nigel Harper wore charcoal slacks and a blue blazer sporting the huge Marylebone Cricket Club badge over the left breast pocket. His feet were tightly laced in black oxfords. "Could it be that I can be of service to you?"
Their relationship had always been one of client and service provider but the Commander terminated it when Sir Nigel's attempted to impose his own agenda on his business. "It could be," the commander continued. "I'm thinkin' of a water research project. A new service that makes water flow wherever the customer wants it."
"Promising concept. You provide the service and I provide the clients?"
"It might work better if you form the company, run it your own way, pull in your own experts and clients. I'll see to governments and security."
"You don't have water experts?"
"I have NASA."
"Satellite images and such?"
John nodded – his gaze still lowered.
"Might be very useful as I have Exxon Mobile now."
"You got 'em all then. All the fossil fuel empires under your great big umbrella."
"I think you knew that."
John looked up, smiled for the first time. "Wouldn't be here else."
"I do believe you are softening in your old age John. Never seen you smile without a gin in hand. Is there something I should know? A woman perhaps?"
"Business is all, Sir Nigel. This is big and I'm wealthy enough to spread the benefits."
"Maybe you are old, and tired."
"Old I am. That's sure. Tired, maybe, but not of work. I feed on work."
They sat quietly for a few moments – John with his shoes and trouser bottoms; Nigel with his mind whirling with visions of controlling Middle Eastern water supplies. When he could sit no longer he stood, looked down at the Commander, and said, "You will be hearing from me."
John looked up. "Soon."
"Yes. Very soon."

While some people might look for the easiest way to wrap their Christmas gifts, others look to get as creative as possible. This clever Reddit user certainly falls into the latter category. You won't believe how they wrapped one of the most coveted gifts, an iPhone.
To begin, they thought of an object that didn't look like anything close to an iPhone.
Now, there's an iPhone...
So, they decided to use a chair for their project, cutting various pieces from a cardboard box.
Voilà, a chair made of cardboard.
Do you see that slot in the middle of the chair's seat?
It's just the right size to fit the iPhone.
No one would guess an iPhone would be hiding in this wrapping paper.
The time has come to put the gift by the Christmas tree.
Hopefully, the recipient wasn't too thrilled with the idea that they would be getting a new chair.
Now, that's how you trick someone.
Wrapping your gifts in such a clever way is great for surprising your recipient. Nevertheless, keep in mind that you should definitely wrap your gift in a way that doesn't look as appealing as what is actually hidden inside.

I've been thinking a lot lately about vision, thanks to lots of amazing and influential people in my life and on the outskirts. And this little blog-o-rama has become a really exciting way for me to hone in on the things I'm completely passionate about and love to share. Someday I'll write a more detailed post on why this has become a hot topic for me lately, but for now I just want to let you in on why imanimama.com exists at all.
Blogs were never really my thing. I didn't really "get" them. Natalie, from The Busy Budgeting Mama, got into them while she was pregnant with her first daughter and would chat with me about what she was reading, and then she started her own. Around the time that she launched hers, I started reading hers and others and quickly got hooked on Google Reader. My salvation for the hideous bus rides home from work.
And as I read, I realized how much I had to share with others, but it was this hodge-podge pile of mush that didn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. I went back and forth on a number of topics that interested me, all related to family and parenting in one way or another, but nothing stuck. The ideas simmered for about six months before it all finally clicked.
Now that I've been writing for two months, I find that it's easy to get distracted and forget my main focus. The vision, if you will. Creative types can be like that...their thoughts and ideas pulled into a thousand little (and big) directions. And I don't want this site to become a place that feels more like a dumping ground or yard sale, rather than a specialty store.
So today I wrote a mission statement for the site.
Is that terribly market-y of me? (For the record, my full-time job is in marketing and I completely blame that for all my editorial calendars, communication plans and other fairly ridiculous protocols I've put together for this little spot of the blogosphere.)
Anyway, I wanted to share this with you, especially if you're a new reader, or someone who doesn't know me in 3-D real-life.
Here's why I created imanimama.com and why I keep writing. It's all about sharing:
"what works for us, from one ridiculously busy, budget-minded, health-conscious, faith-filled, overworked + exhausted, exhilarated + optimistic, creatively inclined, hopelessly in love parent to another"
From a Make or Buy post, to our family weight-loss adventures, and from product reviews to the Real Parents panels: they all fit under that umbrella. They're all real ideas that really worked for us and other real parents.
So there you have it.
So now that all these deep thoughts are out of my system, we can resume our regularly scheduled programming.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to write a graphics standards manual (little inside joke for my fellow marketing nerds).

As housemates continue with their latest Robotic themed task, they seem to be having fun especially with their latest attires and ways of conducting themselves.
As lunch time clocked, the 'robots' rushed to the kitchen and dining table and made themselves comfortable (that wasn't comfortable at all - because of the metallic attires) grabbing something to eat. Ace and Ntombi made their way to the dining table and chatted like Robots between the meal.
After a while, it surely seems there are some Robots that do actually smoke as Robot Ace could be seen smoking his Robotic life away. It was interesting though to see that housemates had embraced their characters with ease and fun.
And as diary sessions commenced, Mbali and Chelsea shared with Biggie that indeed they were enjoying the task and looking forward to presentations later in the evening.

My sister is here visiting from Georgia with her four children (her husband is in Iraq for a 6 month deployment). My kids have been having a great time playing with their cousins who are all the same ages and genders. (Jack and Sam playing Legos)We have been enjoying the most delicious tomatoes from our garden. We gobble up the tiny cherry tomatoes.... they are like candy!
Jack enjoys helping pick them. With the plum tomatoes I made some fabulous bruschetta. For a great alternative to chips and salsa, combine chopped tomatoes with olive oil, lots of fresh garlic, fresh basil, and kosher salt, and scoop it up with pita chips or toasted french bread slices. Yum! My kids were cautious at first because it was new to them, but when they finally tried it they loved it and gobbled it up.
One more photo..... one of those silly things the kids end up doing on a hot, boring summer day.

Dear Windows-Help.NET Subscriber,
One of Microsoft's most popular products among both consumers and businesses is slowly moving into its last days. Since Windows 95 was released five years ago, it has seen the advent of five subsequent operating systems (Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows NT Workstation, and Windows 2000 Professional) aimed at the desktop.
As of January 1, 2001, Microsoft will make Windows 95 available through its authorized OEM distribution channel only and will no longer directly license Windows 95 through its direct OEM channel.
Now this all sounds the same, but OEM distribution channel includes the network of distributors, dealers and small manufacturers who want to ship Microsoft products with their hardware. The OEM channel must procure Microsoft software through authorized distributors such as Merisel, Ingram Micro, and others.
This will in practice mean that it will be hard to get a computer with Windows 95 pre-installed.
But that's not all... As of January 1, 2001, Quick Fix Engineering (QFE) support for Windows 95 is no longer available, and assisted technical support for Windows 95 has changed to a paid-only model. With Windows 98, a customer gets two free calls from Microsoft.
Reducing distribution and support of a product is a significant step in its eventual discontinuation. Microsoft is slowly preparing to give Windows 95 the axe, and is also using the upcoming Office 10 to accelerate the process (Office 10 is not compatible with Windows 95).

Microsoft Anti-Piracy Solutions Extended to Upcoming Versions of Office, Windows and Visio Products Worldwide
Microsoft announced plans to step up its worldwide anti-piracy efforts through the expansion of existing technological solutions. The company will apply its "Product Activation" technology together with an edge-to-edge anti-counterfeiting hologram to the next versions of many products in the coming year, including the Microsoft® Office suite, the Windows® operating system and Visio® drawing and diagramming software.
As an anti-piracy technology, Product Activation discourages casual copying by limiting the number of times a product can be installed and activated on individual computers.
"Consumers sometimes unwittingly violate their license agreement by sharing software with others," said Allen Nieman, technical product manager for Microsoft's licensing technology group. "Through education efforts and the use of technology solutions like Product Activation, we're working to make sure that customers who choose Microsoft software products acquire genuine software and are eligible for technical support and product upgrades."
Edge-to-Edge Hologram
Since the launch of the edge-to-edge hologram on retail versions of Windows 2000 CD-ROMs last February, Microsoft has expanded the hologram to retail versions of its Office 2000 and Windows Millennium Edition products. The edge-to-edge hologram has been a highly successful anti-counterfeiting feature, with no counterfeiters to date being able to replicate this technology.
The edge-to-edge hologram is etched into the surface of the CD-ROM, and when the CD-ROM is tilted in light, it displays the product name and product-specific holographic images from the hub to the outer edge of the disc. The various holographic images can be viewed at Microsoft's Piracy Web site.

Microsoft to reveal official name for "Whistler"?
According to an article by Paul Thurrott, Microsoft will host a "Windows Whistler" event on the 13th February. Although Microsoft hasn't said anything on the matter, Paul thinks that the event will be used to reveal the official names for both Windows Whistler and Office 10. He is betting on "Windows XP" and "Office XP". Guess we'll have to wait and see.

text: I had my first adjustment on my band today. For somereason or another, I totally forgot about the eat softer foods for a day or so. Dang CRS. So I stopped at Yackdonald's for dinner. Had planned on making chili, but totally forgot about needing to start it around 3-3:30 to let it simmer. See the CRS comment. Anywho, Sean & I go to wallyworld after my appt. We finally got out of there at 5:30. Oh yeah it was NUTS. So YackD's was the popular vote. I figured I'd get chicken since I hadn't had any problems w/ it before. Oh em GEE I thought I was gonna die. It hurt so bad, I was reminded of labor pains when I had Shane. No drugs. And that was only after 3 bites. Soooo I'm really glad I have oatmeal & yogurt. That's gonna be my diet for the next couple of days.

I think it's fair to say that, reading from the title of this particular blog post, you can guess I've had a stressful day.
The old kitchen got stripped out this morning and it's going to take about two weeks to become the new one. The council have a contractor to do them and each step has to be done in turn before the next team can come in and do their bit.
My kitchen was supposed to be ripped out yesterday but, as I was in London yesterday, they had to delay it a day. This meant that the plumber coming this morning to fit a temporary sink unit had to do it this afternoon.
Today has been very cold and so I couldn't take Ogden out for the whole time that they were working (about 4 hours in total) so there's been a lot of barking and whining and begging me to stop the noise.
The contractor claims that they can't say when the team will be coming round only whether or not there will be some activity in the kitchen that day and where on the list I'll be. They can't give me a time because they don't know how long previous jobs will take. They can't tell me what time it won't be before (that should be an easy one) so that I can go out and get some fresh air or some shopping so that when they do arrive I can concentrate on getting Ogden into a stress free atmosphere. Of course not because THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
They're gone until Monday and then it's asbestos day which means we really are better off out of the flat so I'm hoping it's not going to rain.
On Tuesday Ogden is having his toe amputated so you can guarantee that is the one day that they will not work on the kitchen. He's going to be away from home until mid-afternoon so there'd be no barking or stress or me getting the headache from hell so Sod's Law it will be.
I was beginning to doubt the wisdom of me being away immediately prior to the work on the kitchen starting but I'm glad I did because when Ogden is barking and there's a racket going on in the kitchen I can be sat, in my mind at least, beside a roaring fire in a pub in Chislehurst.

WordPress is in support for many widgets so that you can add complex features into your footer areas and sidebars. On one hand, WordPress comes with a plenty of default widgets like a search bar and categories. On the other hand, the plugins you have installed often bring their own widgets which work well on your WordPress site.
Why Get Full Control over Widgets
Widgets are powerful extensions which display some useful information or specific functionality. By having a full control over widgets, you will be able to customize the design, structure, and more for your WordPress site without making many efforts. Besides, widgets do not require you to have rich experience in coding.
Though WordPress allows you make some changes to widgets like changing the display order, it is not enough if you have the desire to add more features into your site. In this situation, a plugin named Widget Options can really help you a lot because it provides you with more customized options.
Get Full Control over Widgets with Widget Options
Widget Options enables you to add more features beneath widgets to have a full control over their visibility and appearance. Completely integrated with WordPress themes, this widget management plugin has owned more than 10,000 followers because of the rich features. It does not matter if you have little knowledge about HTML and CSS because this plugin can fully maximize the functionalities without code so as to meet your needs.
The Widget Options plugin is accessible via WordPress administration page. You can find the step-by-step procedures through our easy guide how to install this powerful plugin and activate it. When the plugin is ready to use, you are able to make your own configurations. In the following text, we will show you how to manage it in a detailed way.
How to Use Widget Options
The plugin charges some features for free. However, you need to unlock other features if you want to take full advantage of the plugin. In other words, you need to pay for the complete widget management. Considering your budget, we only have a further discussion on the main features.
On the Appearances > Widgets page, there are four icons beneath the title when you select the widget you want to edit. At first, we want to remind you that you should not forget to hit the "Save" button to store your changes for each step.
Step 1: Decide widget visibility for pages
The Page Visibility option namely "eye" icon allows you to easily show or hide widgets on any WordPress pages by checking or unchecking the tabs for post types, taxonomies and miscellaneous options. As a result, you can serve appropriate sidebar contents for your visitors.
Step 2: Customize widget restrictions for devices
The Desire Restriction option namely "device" icon allows you to decide which devices you want the widget to be visible. The available choices include tablet, desktop and mobile screen sizes. You will benefit a lot from the feature if you want to make your website responsive and readable on any devices. It is crucial for you to hide mobile in order to well display your WordPress site for mobile visitors, throwing away sidebar contents.
Step 3: Define alignment for the widget
And it is possible for you to make a better content alignment for the widget by configuring the next icon. Widget Options is able to serve different alignments including default, center, left, right, and justify. By presenting appropriate alignments, you will gain higher customer satisfaction. For example, it is nice for you to create a center alignment instead of a left one for mobile devices.
Step 4: Add custom CSS ID & classes into the widget
The Classes & ID namely "gear" icon enables you to add custom CSS ID and classes into the widget. One thing you should remember is that widgets have their own ID but they can be divided into multiple classes.
Though it is kind of time-consuming for you to repeat the above procedures on other widgets, you are free to customize each widget to meet your requirements. What's more, you are able to add widget animation, custom widget links, and many more once you unlock the complete features. If your budget permits, you can pay $24.99/mo to get more advanced features.
At first, we have explained the reason for fully controlling widgets. Then we have introduced Widget Options to help you get full control over your WordPress widgets in an easy way. Since some advanced features inside the plugin need to be unlocked, we only focus on the main features and show you how to customize widgets with them. Enabling you to have a clear idea about the steps, we have listed out them in below.
- Decide widget visibility for pages.
- Customize widget restrictions for devices.
- Define alignment for widgets.
- Add custom CSS ID & classes into widgets.

Today's featured senior session comes to you from Kim Lewis Photography, located in Orland Park, Illinois!
Describe this session:
"This was a stylized session that we tried to use her new wardrobe in ways she wouldn't normally wear them. With having four sisters we were able to "shop" in her sister's closets as well, to include things Vanessa had never worn before. We tried to match up her high heel prom shoes with shorts and had to throw in her red Hunter boots for a fantastic splash of color! It was fun to mix and match her wardrobe where she stepped out of her comfort zone."
What inspired this session?
"I wanted to take this little 4′ 8″ cheerleading dynamo out of her normal environment and into a more urban environment for a new look. We had so much fun going to new places!"
What gear did you use?
"Canon 5d Mark II 85mm 1.2 lens"
Hair & MUA?

She is a lovely senior! I like the styling you did, I bet y'all had so much fun shooting these:) Thanks so much for sharing this session with us!

Thanks for reading SSG!

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- The banking industry is still under pressure, say Peter Eliopoulos, chief marketing officer at M&T Bank/Wilmington Trust, who spoke last week at BISA's annual conference. But if banks focus on investments and insurance (or "dotting the i's" as he calls it), they can go a long way toward regaining their footing in the new world, he says.
The pressure comes from flat revenue combined with shrinking margins, Eliopoulos says. Indeed, revenue has flat-lined for the past 19 quarters, he says, which dates back to mid-2010 when the industry and the economy were grinding through a slow recovery. And making matters worse, banks' profits are still one-third lower than they were pre-crisis, Eliopoulos says.
In dire times like this, he says that "crucial dialogues" with clients are especially important. Those conversations should be about their full financial needs--including investments and insurance, in addition to deposits or loans.
This all leads, of course, to the fee revenue that banks need. There's a common pitfall, however, that he urged the crowd to avoid. "With the discussion of fee revenue, what's often lost is the customer."
But adding investments and insurance to the product mix at a bank program not only helps the customer, but the bank as well. Both profits and tenure of customer relationships are enhanced if the customers also have either investments or insurance from the bank. In fact, he says that profit can be as much as 78% higher if a deposit -only customer adds either insurance or investments. And the length of the customer's relationship is 63% longer.
He notes that safe-deposit boxes are an often-overlooked as a way to deepen customer relationships because they store tangible items they usually feel close to.
It ultimately comes down to really putting yourself in their shoes, he says. "Everyone talks about it, but it's hard to do." Still, he said, advisors also have to know where they fall in a client's life. In response to a question from the audience, he noted that banks are just not the most important part of clients' lives. "Most days [clients] probably feel more emotionally attached to their cell phones," he said.

Eric Lippert - Discussing Visual Studio Tools for Office
But that would mean the small business/hobbyist/consumer paying for Office then additionally the ISV application. THere is already pressure for the cost of these applivations to come down not go up.
My general point was that Microsoft made/makes most of its money from 2 areas: Windows operating systems and Office. These were products that were originally avoided by the enteprise IT teams. Instead, they were used by consumers/hobbyists/small IT teams and then they perculated up through enterprises.
This move to focus on enterprise development is moving away from its core user base.
Eric Lippert - Discussing Visual Studio Tools for OfficeOne thing that does concern me is that Microsoft seems to be moving more and more to focus on enterprise development.
Jim Gray - Part II of talking about Database DesignRegarding the 2 vs. 3 tiered model, if it was an enterprise solution where everything is behind the firewall would the security issues be lessened and therefore the 2 tier might work.

SPOTLIGHT on LSA
The Case for Diversity
Diversity beats sameness, and one LSA professor is out to prove it. With his book The Difference, Scott E. Page (A.B. '85), an honors math alumnus and current professor of complex systems, political science, and economics, uses math and logic to make the case that higher diversity yields greater tangible benefits. Now, Page gets invited to consult with organizations like the Mellon Foundation, Google, the U.S. Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury, and NASA, among others. They're taking his argument seriously and running with it in the real world.
Likewise, diverse perspectives are vital to the liberal arts mission of LSA. Departments throughout the College see value in diversity—with benefits both tangible and intangible—and are taking action as a result: They're developing plans and programs to create a more diverse student body and faculty.
The Power of Internships
At LSA, we understand that to change the world takes actually experiencing it. And we are committed to providing our students the support they need in order to pair their LSA education with real-life opportunities. Watch how LSA internships are changing students' perspectives on their coursework and giving them a crucial advantage in their careers.

|Andy Samberg and FOX Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly at the FOX Golden Globe Awards Party CR: Frank Micelotta/FOX
Brooklyn Nine-Nine's two Golden Globe wins and subsequent celebration overshadowed some additional good news for the show's fans. On Monday, Jan. 13, FOX Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly stated at the TV Critics Association tour that a second season for the show was likely before they even won their awards. He added, "I don't think that's going to be a big announcement ... but I would anticipate that [Brooklyn Nine-Nine] will be back."
Okay, then just crank up Kool & the Gang again (you saw "The Bet" episode already, right?), and let's have that announcement, Reilly! Patience is not my strong suit. ;D

Volkswagen has partnered with Chinese automotive brand Anhui Jianghuai Automobile (a.k.a. JAC) to evaluate the possibilities of developing and producing zero-emission, all-electric vehicles for the Chinese market.
The team-up is highlighted by the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which will look into the options of forming a new joint-venture company which would help strengthen Volkswagen and JAC's long-term ties. The partnership will focus on the research and development, manufacturing, and selling of all-electric vehicles.
Volkswagen Group is looking forward to explore all options to set up a close and mutually beneficial partnership with JAC. We believe this cooperation would not only benefit our two organizations, but would also be of great value to our customers, the environment, and the Chinese society in general," said Volkswagen AG Chairman of the Board of Management Matthias Müller.
On the other hand, JAC Chairman An Jin shared that their company is optimistic that the partnership will result to the Chinese auto industry's transformation and upgrading. They're hopeful that this joint project will boost the development of more cost-effective battery-powered electric vehicles for the Chinese market and its new energy vehicle sector.
It's also worth noting that Volkswagen's partnership with JAC is part of the German carmaker's 10-year endeavor of creating more environment-friendly vehicles for the global market.

On Air Now
Heart Breakfast with JK & Lucy 6am - 9am
This is probably one of the most emotional videos you will ever watch.
When teacher Ben Ellis made the decision to stop treatment for an aggressive form of cancer, he really didn't expect this to happen.
The news of his decision reached the pupils at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville and they decided to do something so magical it will melt your heart.
Over 400 pupils from the school turned up to surprise their teacher to sing hymns to him outside his window.
The moment was filmed from the window, looking down on the pupils who's song Holy Spirit You are Welcome rang out through the neighbourhood.
Ben Ellis has been teaching at the school in Nashville since 2008, and was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in December last year, but made the decision to stop the treatment last week.
Leslie Ponder, a teacher at CPA, said the trip was a "spur-of-the-moment decision".
"Today these students learned more than they would have in a classroom."
Mr Ellis described the singing by the entire student body as "beautiful and unforgettable".
"I have never felt so weak but God is strong in me," he said.

Waupaca County Post reviews 2016
Part 1 of a 2-part series
By Robert Cloud
It was a year of change in Waupaca County.
Two new fire chiefs, a new police chief, a new school district administrator and retirements of several top county officials were among the stories in the Waupaca County Post in the first six months of 2016.
The year also presented opportunities and challenges, tragedies and triumphs for the communities and people in Waupaca County.
• After 17 years of teaching, Stacey Wester accepted the elementary principal and curriculum coordinator position in the Iola-Scandinavia School District.
• Judge Raymond Huber sentenced a former New London man to 15 years in prison for killing his 3-year-old son.
Lance S. Vandenbusch, 37, was convicted of second-degree reckless homicide. He received the maximum prison sentence for that charge on Jan. 7.
• In response to multiple heroin overdoses in the community, Weyauwega police began carrying Narcan with them when they are on duty. Narcan, also known as Naloxone, is a medication used to counter the effects of an opiod overdose. The city council approved the new policy at its Jan. 18 meeting.
• Chuck Fritz decided to retire as chief of the Iola and Rural Fire Department. He had joined the department in September 1976 and served as chief for more than 29 years.
• Tracy Behrendt became the new director of the Waupaca Historical Society after Julie Hintz retired from the position in December.
• Nevaeh Johnson, who was a fourth-grade student at Waupaca Learning Center at the time, competed in her first dog sled race on Jan. 23 in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and returned home with a second-place plaque.
• Jerry Deuman Jr. was named Waupaca's new fire chief, effective Feb. 1. He replaced Jeff Olson, who retired in December 2015. Deuman joined the force in October 1994 and had been first assistant chief for three years prior to becoming chief.
• Kevin Hoffman was the grand marshal for 2016 Iola Winter Carnival the weekend of Feb. 6-7.
• The Manawa School Board voted unanimously to terminate the contract of David Bessette, a special education teacher at Little Wolf Junior/Senior High School. He was accused of misconduct involving a student after school administrators and board members reviewed a video of him pulling a 13-year-old autistic boy by his arms down a hallway. Bessette was subsequently charged with felony child abuse. His case is still pending.
• A crowd filled the gym at Iola-Scandinavia High School to hear the UW Varsity Band perform on Feb. 22. Among the performers were I-S graduates Powers Spees and John Faldet.
• At a special meeting on March 1, the Manawa School Board voted 5-2 to rescind an earlier directive against hiring any staff with a felony conviction. It also approved a contract to hire Todd Zielke as head coach for the softball team. At its Feb. 15 meeting, the board did not renew Zielke's contract, although it approved all other spring sports' contracts on the agenda.
• After 30 years in law enforcement, Waupaca Police Chief Tim Goke notified the city's Police and Fire Commission on March 8 that he would retire on June 2.
• Waupaca County Clerk Mary Robbins Will announced her plan not to seek re-election and to retire at the end of 2016. Prior to her taking office in 1989, Robbins Will worked for the county as a deputy zoning administrator for 17 years.
• Casey Beyersdorf replaced Dean Steingraber as the Waupaca County highway commissioner. A 1997 graduate of Marion High School, Beyersdorf attended the University of Wisconsin-Plattville. He obtained a bachelor's degree in building construction management and drafting design in 2002.
Beyersdorf spent more than 18 years with the Wisconsin National Guard and earned a Bronze Star while overseeing large road construction projects in Afghanistan in 2012-13.
• Jones Publishing in Iola celebrated 30 years in business. From a venture that started in their basement in March 1985, Joe and Maggie Jones grew a business that now publishes multiple hobbyist magazines.
• Judge Raymond Huber sentenced Jesse McLamarrah, 21, New London, to five years in prison March 25. McLamarrah was convicted of two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment and one count each of arson, burglary and felony possession of marijuana. Two people were injured after jumping out the window of their burning second-story apartment.
• Jim Aanstad, who has been a member of the Iola and Rural Fire Department for the past 31 years, was named the new fire chief.
• Challenger Steve Hackett and incumbent Connie Baldwin were elected to two seats on the Waupaca School Board in the April 5 spring election. Incumbent Kirsten Greenfield was not re-elected.
• Two men were accused of killing Matthew Pagel, whose body was found in a ditch at about 2:30 a.m. April 12 near Clintonville. Zachary T. Hohn, 16, Tigerton, and Adam J. Ozuna, 24, Bear Creek, were charged with first-degree intentional homicide and robbery with use of force.
• Dayton citizens voted to replace two elected officials with one full-time employee at the town's annual meeting on April 19. By a vote of 37-15, electors approved a resolution to eliminate the offices of town clerk and treasurer, which are held by Judy Suhs and Brenda Hewitt, respectively.
In April 2015, Dayton voters elected two new supervisors and a new town chairman. Only the incumbent clerk and treasurer survived the voters' desire for a clean slate. Suhs was elected over Sue Popham by a vote of 453-401, while Hewitt defeated Thomas Van Veen, 590-247.
• Jeff Maiman's efforts for offsite employee parking for the Wheelhouse Restaurant hit a wall after nearly four hours of testimony during a May 5 public hearing. The Waupaca County Planning and Zoning Committee voted unanimously to adopt more restrictive amendments to the zoning ordinance.
The county zoning office had proposed amendments that would have allowed the county to issue conditional use permits for offsite commercial parking on any parcel in the county. Instead, the adopted amendments prohibit offsite parking on parcels that are zoned sewered residential or rural residential and require an offsite parking lot to be within 500 feet of the property it serves.
• The Waupaca Police and Fire Commission appointed Detective Sgt. Brian Hoelzel interim police chief when it met on May 10. Hoelzel, a 22 1/2-year veteran of the Waupaca Police Department, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice in December 1992.
After a year in Combined Locks, Hoelzel started his career in Waupaca in 1994 as a patrol officer. In 2002, he was promoted to detective sergeant.
More than 200 signatures were collected for a petition seeking to overturn the decision to replace two elected officials with a single employee in Dayton.
• Winchester Academy of Waupaca turned 25 years old in 2016. On Monday nights at the Waupaca Area Public Library, Winchester Academy brings to the community professors, historians, authors, poets, artists, researchers and experts in a wide variety of fields. The academy has hosted more than 600 programs over the past quarter century and typically draws more than 100 people to each program.
• The state Crime Victims Rights Board issued a private reprimand against Waupaca County District Attorney John Snider. After reviewing a complaint from the daughter of Fred Lick, the 81-year-old Waupaca man who was killed by a car driven by Kristin Carlson, the board concluded that Snider "violated a crime victim's statutory right to a speedy disposition of the case."
Lick was killed on July 2, 2013. Carlson was charged with homicide by negligent use of a vehicle two years later on July 16, 2015.
• Waupaca County District Attorney John Snider did not file his nomination papers by the June 1 deadline and did not seek re-election. Assistant District Attorney Veronica Isherwood, Republican, and attorney Robert Forseth, Democrat, filed to run for the office.
• Dayton residents overturned the decision to replace two elected officials with one hired position by a vote of 182-74 at a special meeting held in the Waupaca High School gym on June 8.
• Roger Holman retired as the director of both the Waupaca County Parks and Recreation Department and the county's Solid Waste Department.
During the three decades he worked for the county, Holman led efforts to expand recycling and build the county's Processing and Transfer Facility near Ogdensburg. Thanks to his efforts, Waupaca County now has 39 properties with a total of 885 acres that provide outdoor recreational opportunities and access to local lakes, rivers, woods and other natural resources.
• Waupaca FFA was named the No. 1 chapter in the state at the Wisconsin FFA Convention in Madison June 13-16.
• Two local school boards voted in June to place referendums on the ballots for the November election.
Voters in the Weyauwega-Fremont School District would be asked if they wanted the district to spend up to $21 million on a building and improvement program.
In the Iola-Scandinavia District, voters were presented with two questions on their referendum. The first asked them to approve $2 million in general obligation bonds to pay for facility renovations and repairs. The second asked voters to allow the district to exceed its revenue cap by a total of $4.6 million over the next five years.

Ready to go at 83!
Our intrepid Co-Laborer in Melbourne, Florida, Ron Neumann Mcdevitt, was startled to hear the following voicemail message on his way home from an outreach at a local art festival:
"Hello, Harold _____ here. Drove to downtown Melbourne to give you guys a hand. Parking was impossible and it was raining and all, so I scrubbed the mission. Let me know the next time you have a street festival and I'll come give you a hand. Have a great weekend."
Why was Ron so amazed by this message? Because Harold is 83 years old and has been a believer in Jesus for barely a month!
Ron explains, "The church I attend is very much behind my ministry with Jews for Jesus. They have a permanent electronic sign out front that advertises our Jews for Jesus meeting times, along with a Star of David. The church is on a main road, and when Harold (who is Jewish) saw the sign, he came in and talked to the receptionist, asking her to have me contact him. I visited him right away and he began attending our meetings. On October 15th we met for lunch and he prayed with me to receive the Lord.
"I always announce our upcoming outreaches at our weekly Bible study but had no idea Harold was planning to come. Now that I know, I can do some basic evangelism training with him this week, and he'll join us for our next outreach this Saturday. The Lord is so good and always full of surprises! Pray for God to bless Harold as he shares what Jesus has done for him."

For the generations before us, this is what a career was. Whether you maintained a passion for it until the day of your retirement or stuck with it long after the enthusiasm had waned, the idea of changing careers in the middle of your life was almost unheard of as recently as 20 years ago.
Leaving one industry or profession and jumping to another, often with a period of study in between, was not only far more difficult than it is today, but it was looked at as highly unusual and often came without the support of past or future employers.
Having more than one career in your professional life is not only more prominent these days, it has almost become the norm. The broader availability of online study, as well as the creation of programs within many companies to nurture this kind of personal expansion has made it easier to jump from one line of work to another.
Electricians can become teachers. Accountants can become writers. Chefs can become landscapers. Hairdressers can become legal aides. The opportunities are limited only by your budget and enthusiasm.
There are many reasons to leave one career for another. Your personal circumstances may have changed, requiring you to work either more or fewer hours, or necessitating a job that allows you to work from home. Perhaps you're simply tired of the job you've been doing and keen to try something different.
Alternatively, the industry you're in may have changed. Your position may not be in as high a demand as it once was or you've identified an area with more opportunities.
Whatever the reason, changing careers is both exciting and frightening. Chances are, you'll need to make do with a slightly reduced income while you establish yourself in your new career. Additionally, you may need to adjust to new working circumstances, possibly including:
Before making the decision to leave your job and embark on a new career path, it's important to consider all the consequences of your decision. Be sure the new career is something you'll remain enthusiastic about. Otherwise, take some additional time to identify your true passion before leaving your current job.
Look at your finances closely and evaluate whether the time is right for a change. Do you have a family and/or mortgage to consider?
Most importantly, be aware of the job opportunities that exist in your dream career and work towards those. Make your goals ambitious yet achievable, and be sure to communicate them to potential future employers.
Whether your skills from your previous career are transferable or not, the passion you are likely to show for your new industry is likely to impress employers and may overshadow any lack of experience. For this reason, it's important to be open about your reasons for changing your occupation. Let your employer help you on your journey.
The easiest way of communicating this passion and enthusiasm to future employers before you even walk in the door is with an ISMYCV online resume.
Create your free online resume for your dream career and be sure to clearly outline your personal and professional goals. Introduce yourself with a Video Profile and use it to explain what you hope to achieve through your job.
If the time has come for you to change careers, putting together a free ISMYCV resume is a great way of taking the first step.

Zach Neumann is a social entrepreneur and a law and policy lecturer at the University of Colorado who lives in Denver's Alamo Placita Neighborhood. He is running for Colorado's State Senate because he believes that our communities are strongest when they create opportunities for everyone.
Zach believes in strong communities because he got to grow up in one. Zach was raised in Missouri City, Texas. His dad worked in city government and his mom was a bookkeeper and church volunteer. Zach went to public schools, working throughout high school as a grocery sacker, department store gift wrapper, and swim coach. At the age of 18, Zach got his first job in politics, serving as a field organizer on a Democratic gubernatorial campaign.
Zach attended college on a combination of scholarships, student loans, part-time jobs, and help from his parents. During his college years, he served as a field organizer for several political campaigns, worked as a tutor and swim coach, and participated in humanitarian aid projects in Northern Mexico, Guatemala, and Kenya.
After college, Zach attended Harvard's Kennedy School of Government where he completed a Master's Degree in Public Policy. During graduate school, Zach worked as an aide to Africa's first democratically elected female head of State, Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. He also volunteered for Deval Patrick's campaign for Massachusetts Governor and Barack Obama's 2008 campaign for the Presidency.
Following graduate school, Zach moved to Washington DC, where he worked on poverty relief and community development at the World Bank, an international non-profit organization. During this time, Zach earned a law degree from Georgetown University, attending classes at night and on weekends.
When the time came to settle down, Zach chose Denver because he wanted to live in a community that was vibrant, diverse, and entrepreneurial. In Colorado, he found a place that welcomes outsiders and celebrates new ideas.
Since coming to Colorado, Zach has worked as a management consultant and social entrepreneur. He co-founded Tortuga AgTech, a small business that works to reduce the environmental impact of traditional agriculture. He also helped to design and launch CareerWise Colorado, a nonprofit that connects high school students with paid apprenticeships in local businesses.
When he's not at work, Zach is also an avid hiker and climber, and he can often be found playing basketball in Alamo Placita Park.

"It's lovely to be here celebrating beautiful memories"… Boy George in one of his asides during his headlining performance at the inaugural "iHeart80s Birthday Bash" live concert event at SAP Center in San Jose. The special show on Saturday night featured Boy George, Tiffany, The Romantics, A Flock Of Seagulls, Farrington & Mann of the Original When In Rome UK, Tommy Tutone, Animotion and Nu Shooz, with former original MTV VJ Martha Quinn hosting along with radio personalities Christie James and Morris Knight. It was really a stellar show with end to end 80s-era hits and hitmakers putting on non-stop entertainment for four hours.
Rewind Fest '16 Presents Lost 80's Live at Thunder Valley Outdoor Amphitheater | Lincoln, California | 9/4/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)
"Are you ready to get your Wang's Chung'd? We're going to Chung your ass's off!" Rewind Fest's special edition of Lost 80s Live was a non-stop party featuring some of that decade's best loved songs and artists, with no less than nine performances, including Wang Chung, tongue firmly planted in cheek. A World One Presents production by way of Rob Juarez's incredible Boss Booking Agency of over 30 top 80s artists. The crowd was on their feet much of the show, as each of the many artists played very short sets of their top hits, making for almost a live version of listening to 80s radio back in the day. It was a who's who of New Wave and 80's music featuring Mike Score from Flock of Seagulls, the aforementioned Wang Chung, Berlin featuring Terri Nunn, Farrington and Mann from The Original When In Rome UK, Martha Davis and The Motels, Nick Van Eede from Cutting Crew, Nu Shooz, Animotion, and Tommy Tutone! Incredible, and an unforgettable evening of nostalgia and real artistry from some of the most innovative artists of the era. [Read more…]
Dale Bozzio, Missing Persons & Clive Farrington, When in Rome at The Karman Bar | Laguna Niguel, California | 7/18/2015 (Concert Review + Photos)
Music from the 1980s continues to permeate pop culture today – it seems like every commercial break cycle includes a familiar New Wave hit song repurposed for selling something or other. In addition – and on the positive end of the spectrum – we sometimes have the opportunity to catch a multi-artist live concert with a few or a variety of 80s artists perform at the same event. One such event was held at The Karman Bar in Orange County, providing a double headlining show with Dale Bozzio from Missing Persons and Clive Farrington from When In Rome. Taking a step back, one of the most interesting things about this show is how the two principals from the two very different 80s bands collectively covered the decade in music, with Missing Persons originally together from 1980 to 1986 and When In Rome being active from 1987 to 1990. So listening to their music at this event, there was also a contrast in sound from the beginnings of that decade (with it's more traditional rock and roll emphasis of vocals, guitar, bass and drums) to that at the end (with vocals and keyboards/synth and electronic beats at the forefront). In any event, it is of course awesome to see two key players from the era keeping their music alive and turning out fans to celebrate it.
