1. Author Interview: "Sand painting is an ancient Southwest Indian art--part of a sacred healing ceremony. Through the years, it has been performed by Navajo medicine men, called Singers, who have let the sands flow through their sensitive fingers in spiritual design. In preparation for this high art, the medicine men go through a period of self-purification and abstinence while collecting sands, roots and bark to be used for the paintings. The ceremony, which includes long prayers to attract other 'spirit people,' lasts from five to nine days and nights. Because the rhythms of day and night are different, sand paintings begun at sunrise are finished and destroyed by sunset. Conversely, paintings begun at sunset are destroyed by sunrise. Destruction means gathering the sands on a blanket or buckskin and transferring them to the body of the patient who sits in the midst of the 'spirit healers' and is the focus of their divine attention. When the last chant is sung, all the sands are gathered onto a buckskin and with a gesture to Father Sky and to Mother Earth, are tossed in the directions from whence they came.
"David Villaseñor Otomi-Spanish artist whose poetic and artistic soul belongs to today, first observed this sacred Navajo ritual when he was sixteen. He came under the spell of sand painting and vowed to master the art. His objective was not to become a healer but rather to find a way to preserve sand paintings without desecrating the ceremonial--without tampering with the 'beauty of the Indian spirit.' To David this was an art that spoke a language of its own--equivalent to beadwork and basketry and pottery. However, it was many years before he was able to fulfill his hope.
"Ask David Villaseñor about his background and training and he replies, 'I owe my success as an artist to my underprivileged childhood.' He says it proudly. When he was seven years old, his parents fled Mexico for political reasons and left David in the care of a Boys' Town in Hermosillo, Mexico. There he was well cared for and was taught the practical arts of living. He learned to bake bread, to tan leather, to make moccasins, to build furniture, to turn ceramic pots and to whittle wooden figures. He became quite self-sufficient and was able to face the world when he had the choice, which--at age sixteen--was either to join the Mexican army or go out on his own. He chose to find his own way, and headed for Arizona.
"He spent a year in Tucson as a helper to a Catalonian artist, Luis Urgelles. He was paid in room and board and free time in which to visit the Indian settlements and to observe the Navajo sand-painting ritual which made so deep an impression. This was the one thing he wanted to learn to do, but the need to earn his keep forced him into odd jobs: He taught juvenile delinquents whittling, thus helping them to use a knife constructively. He also served time in the U.S. Army as a medical artist. Finally, he was free enough to perfect the technique of sand painting. The mechanics of his work are disarmingly simple. He selects a piece of plywood of a desired size, brushes it with a mixture of glue and water and coats it with sand. He repeats the process until he has the desired surface. He then 'paints' his design, painstakingly applying glue and colored sands--one surface on the other, waiting for each layer to dry. He uses the same technique on canvas. The results--beautifully delicate wall hangings--are exhibited in museums throughout the country.
"Now, David Villaseñor lives and works in the foothills of Glendora near Los Angeles. He explores the neighboring woods for rocks that he grinds into sand--vibrant green malachite, deep blue azurite, black mica. Sometimes he travels great distances to find other natural earth samples for his paintings. Yellow sand from Arizona, red sand from Utah, white sand from Pacific beaches, yellow, blue, and brown marble dust from Sonora.
"Indian lore is the basis for his designs--the rainbow's path of beauty, the rhythm of the sun, the moon and the planets, the dramatic signs of fire and water. David has spent years inquiring into Indian beliefs. He has studied the wisdom of the Great Spirit and the three levels of meaning that are part of man: the physical level expressed by fasting and dancing; the mental level--good thought expressed in chants; the spiritual level, which makes the body worthy (for one cannot talk to the spirits with a corrupt body).
"In his friendship with Indians, David has learned much about their ways. Ask an Indian man of wisdom a question and he may sit deep in thought for a long time, or get up and make an expressive gesture, or even dance a bit. He will expect you to pick up your answer from his action, and if your quest for an answer is sincere, even if you don't understand his indirect reply, you'll keep coming back to him until you are satisfied. The Indian believes that the truth has four corners. A wise teacher gives one corner; the student finds the other three. David has found his corners in the joy of work. 'I have to be enjoying what I do,' he says. 'When I feel I'm drudge-working, I quit and do something else.'
"One of his distractions is a dramatic, unfinished wood sculpture that stands, tall as a tree, in his backyard. It is a statue of Chief Sequoyah, who created a Cherokee language and made it possible for red men to communicate with each other. Inspired by the white man's books, which Chief Sequoyah called 'talking leaves,' he invented eighty-two language chants which he taught to his people. David Villaseñor has been whittling away at Sequoyah for five years. It is a labor of love and learning. In the process of his research for the figure he has discovered much about the dress, habits, and history of the Cherokees. Ah-Yo-Ka, Sequoyah's young daughter and disciple, sits at his feet. The chieftain died in Mexico in 1843 while searching for a mother tongue that could be used by all men for universal communication.
"One day, David will finish Sequoyah and will have to find another distraction from 'work.' He may have to turn to the divine source of the Great Spirit for inspiration. But considering David's resourcefulness, he may just find a new project by himself. In the meantime, he continues to sift the sand through facile fingers in the designs that symbolize an ancient spiritual heritage." (Francis Ring, "Symbols in Sand," Westways, Nov. 1972, vol. 64, no. 11, pp. 38-41)
2. "Art lovers and connoisseurs of the Pasadena and Los Angeles area are already familiar with the artistry of David Villasenor, whose reproductions of Amerindian sand paintings have been exhibited in the Los Angeles County Museum, Descanso Gardens Hospitality House, and other galleries. Now...he explains the spiritual culture, wisdom and beauty of the philosophies embodied in the symbolism of the Indian sand paintings. All cultures have their various holy books. The ritualistic sand paintings are like a holy book to the Navajo, and to some extent to the Hopi Indians.
"In Tapestries in Sand the author has included 16 color photographs of his reproductions in natural color sands of authentic sand paintings....He also spent several years striving to find just the right technique for preserving reproductions of sand paintings. He has now perfected a method which enables him to hang these 'tapestries in sand' in various museums and galleries around the nation. This technique is explained in the book. Also his authentic reproductions are acceptable to the American Indians, and several Indian artists have expressed a desire to learn this method of preserving permanently their own sand paintings.
"Many art and craft schools and other groups have adopted this manner of sand painting for teaching the art form. David Villasenor also personally teaches children in summer camps and craft schools. He was a well-known wood sculptor before he took up his sand painting art work. Though Tapestries in Sand is written in prose form, it has a charming, almost poetic beauty in its descriptive information on our Amerindian heritage." (E. B. Johnson, Independent Star-News, December 29, 1963)

CHESHIRE -- Cheshire was six defensive outs away on Wednesday from moving within one win of the American Legion Super Regional. If the previous seven innings were any indication, it was going to take a drastic turn of events to change Cheshire's fortunes.
Ultimately, that's what it took.
Ahead 8-2 on Trumbull in the eighth inning, Cheshire was forced to forfeit the first game of the best-of-three Sectional finals after Trumbull coach Brett Conner alerted umpires that Cheshire was playing with an ineligible player.
That player, Cheshire designated hitter Adam vonFischer, played earlier Wednesday at the Quinnipiac University Summer Showcase, according to Legion site director Dana Murphy. Conner, being the pitching coach at Quinnipiac, knew before the game that vonFischer had participated in the Summer Showcase.
"He was ineligible to play," Murphy said. "Once he plays in a showcase, anything after the season, he's ineligible to play in the tournament."
Murphy added: "It's a terrible thing, but you have to make sure that these people are on the up and up, they know where their players are at all times."
Cheshire coach Bill Robertson declined to comment on the incident.
"We had to do it," said Trumbull assistant coach Mark Windsor, speaking on behalf of the team. "It was in the rule book. A rule was broken.
"The final decision's ours. It's ours."
Trumbull can advance to the Super Regional in Stamford with a win on Thursday against Cheshire. The second game of the best-of-three will start at 2 p.m. at Cheshire, with the deciding game, if necessary, to follow.
Trumbull, the Zone 4 runner-up, mustered only four hits in seven innings off Cheshire starter Kyle Waldron. One of those hits, an RBI single by Mat DeRienzo, brought Trumbull within 5-2 in the sixth.
Dan Schock, as part of a two-hit, four-RBI day, increased Cheshire's lead to 7-2 with a two-run single later in the sixth. But, before Waldron threw a pitch in the eighth inning, both coaching staffs met briefly with the umpires and Murphy concerning vonFischer's eligibility status.
"The coach had the lineup, he had the player's name," Murphy said. "They were there."
Windsor felt that his team was between a "rock and a hard place" after learning about the player's participation at Quinnipiac, but the coaches felt obligated to raise the issue.
"What would happen tomorrow if he plays? Do we let it go again?" Windsor, who played at the University of Bridgeport and is in the school's Hall of Fame, asked rhetorically.
As for why the coaches waited until the top of the eighth to raise the issue, as opposed to bringing it up earlier, Windsor said, "We were fighting our conscience."
Murphy, for one, was perplexed by Trumbull's decision to wait so long before raising the issue.
"They could have brought it up (earlier). These guys (Cheshire players and coaches) are all bent out of shape, and they have a right to be," Murphy said. "Why did they wait until now?"Read Full Article
Cheshire had nine hits off Trumbull's Tim Keckler, including a solo homer in the eighth by Michael Purcell.
Trumbull, meanwhile, got a 2-for-4 day from Luke Waldek.

Washington— Phone companies would receive a national franchise to build and operate multichannel-video systems under legislation agreed to in principle last Wednesday by key House lawmakers.
The bill, whose preparation is being led by Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Joe Barton (R-Texas), is focused on promoting competition to incumbent cable giants such as Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable, industry executives and Capitol Hill staff said.
Under the House bill, phone companies such as AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. would not only be able to get a national franchise, which would speed rollout of their competing services, but would receive additional protections.
|Coming to Terms: National Franchising Bill
|A bill in the House of Representatives that could be drafted as early as next week would:
|• Establish the parameters of what a national cable television franchise would constitute for phone companies
|• Require national cable franchisees to pay 6% of revenue to local governments as compensation for use of public rights of way. Current law caps franchise fees at 5%.
|• Require phone and cable companies to provide high-speed Internet access and transmission to voice, video and data service providers, without discrimination.
|• Require cable companies to comply with existing franchise agreements until phone companies have signed up 15% of the customers in a given market for video services.
|• Require cable companies to offer a uniform rate structure throughout a market, to prevent predatory pricing against phone companies.
Among its key provisions, the bill would require cable companies to continue to operate under their thousands of existing local franchise agreements until phone companies have taken 15% of the customers in markets they serve. Cable companies also would be required to keep their rates uniform throughout a market, so that new entrants would not be subject to selective price discounting that could drive them out.
AT&T and Verizon spokesmen would not comment on the terms, because specific legislative language had not yet been developed.
That did not keep National Cable & Telecommunications Association president Kyle McSlarrow from urging House leaders to reconsider the terms of the bill, even before the draft became public.
"This is clearly a sweetheart deal for an industry that doesn't deserve a special break and a competitive advantage over anybody, let alone the cable industry," McSlarrow said in a conference call Thursday with reporters.
While a setback for cable, the agreement is only the first step in a long process in which cable-industry lobbyists will have ample opportunity to alter the terms of any franchising bill destined for the White House. McSlarrow said cable still wanted to work with Congress on passing a comprehensive bill that deregulated telecommunications in ways that would work "not just for us, but for our competitors, too."
The House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet could vote on the bill as early as this week, McSlarrow said. Last Friday, a House aide said a vote that fast was unlikely because lawmakers would need time to review the staff-prepared legislation language.
If anything, the agreement demonstrated that House telecommunications policy leaders were unafraid to drive forward franchise reform just days after AT&T announced its $67 billion takeover of BellSouth Corp. With that deal, four of the seven "Baby Bells" created in the 1984 breakup of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. could be reunited.
"The merger could be a bit of a distraction, but in the end won't have a dramatic effect on franchise relief this year," said Paul Gallant, a media analyst with Stanford Washington Research Group.
The accord was reached after many weeks of negotiation between Barton (R-Texas), Telecommunications and the Internet Subcommittee chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.), Rep. Chip Pickering (R-Miss.), Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) and Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), House aides said.
Senate Commerce Committee chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who is expected to unveil a bill in a few weeks, has said he supports cable franchising relief for the big phone companies. "I think we'll have a bipartisan bill," Stevens said last Thursday.
For cable, the agreement was a disappointment on several fronts.
Under a national franchise, phone companies presumably would be able to roll out video facilities where they want and when they want, meaning they would not be required to offer service throughout a community within any particular time. Because they had to meet buildout requirements, cable operators have argued that deep-pocketed phone companies should do the same and not be allowed to cream-skim.
A national franchise would also speed up competition, by allowing telcos to enter local cable markets without gaining prior approval from thousands of local communities.
The House agreement contained two provisions that have not received much public debate.
One provision would continue to subject cable operators to local franchising rules until phone rivals had reached 15% local video-market penetration.
A second provision would guard against predatory pricing tactics. As McSlarrow explained it, if a phone company is offering discounts to homes in one section of a franchise, the cable company couldn't offer the same deal to those customers alone. Low prices could not be isolated to drive back a phone competitor in one part of the franchise area.
Under current federal law, cable operators must offer uniform rates in a franchise area if the local franchising authority is permitted to set the price of basic tier rates.
"Uniform pricing is big-government price control," McSlarrow said. "Essentially, the effect of it would be to shield the Bell companies from competition."
McSlarrow and House aides said that cable would need to continue to comply with the uniform rate rule, even if the 15% test had been met and the cable company no longer needed a local franchise.
But no language on exact terms was available at press time.
"We don't have anything to confirm," Energy and Commerce Committee deputy communications director Terry Lane said.
Capitol Hill staff members contacted by Multichannel News also could not describe the 15% test — whether it meant 15% of local, state or national households or whether the market included all households, all TV households or all pay-TV households.
Under current law, a cable operator no longer faces regulation of basic-tier video rates and is no longer required to offer uniform rates within a franchise area if pay-TV competitors combined serve more than 15% of households in that territory.
In the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress added a provision that said a cable company was freed from price regulation and exempt from the uniform rate rule as soon as a phone company offered video service by any means other than by direct-to-home satellite service. No penetration test applied.
McSlarrow said the House bill taking shape would reverse the deregulatory approach Congress adopted in 1996, and any attempt to codify a lopsided competitive advantage into law would be fought.
"We're not going quietly. We're here. Get over it. We'll meet you in the marketplace and we're not going to let you pass laws that give you a subsidy, a gift, whatever you want to call it, that gives you a regulatory advantage,'' McSlarrow said Friday.

1. The most important chess guidance: SAFETY: Keep all your pieces safe! And consider taking opponent's pieces that are not safe. For piece values, Bishops and Knights as worth about 3¼ pawns, Rooks 5, a Queen about 9. Having two Bishops when your opponent does not is called "the Bishop Pair" which is worth approximately an extra ½ pawn. Getting a Rook for a Bishop or Knight is called winning The Exchange which is worth nearly half a piece (Bishop or Knight).
2. The Next most important chess guideline: ACTIVITY: Ensure that all of your pieces are doing something all the time! Thus, for instance, move every piece once before you decide to move any piece twice in the opening (as a goal). Usually the best strategy in a position without having tactics is to find a piece that is doing very little and find an opportunity for it to do a lot more!
3. TAKE YOUR TIME — if world championship players usually take several minutes to find a good move, why do you think that you can find a better one faster? Look at it this way: NOTHING is preventing lower players from playing just like tougher players and taking your time to look at as many possibilities as you can. A good goal is to pace yourself to use almost all of your time every game. When you are thinking, tell yourself, "If I do this, what exactly are all the moves he is likely to do in return, and can I meet all of those threats next move? "If not, then you've got to find yourself another move, and this needs time! Tip: Don't start a game where you are not intending to make use of all your time. If you want to play faster, then play a faster time control.
4. You are attempting to find the BEST move (or in some positions a reliable, very reasonable one), so when you see a really good move, seek for a better one. If you don't look, you simply can't see! If you play fast, you might not be considering all of your good moves.

How We Work at The UN
Unitarian Universalists are bold leaders in action for social justice around the world. In our daily lives, we strive to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Each day at the United Nations, the Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office (UU-UNO) strives to affirm and promote every person's human rights on the international stage.
Influence of the UU-UNO at the United Nations
The UU-UNO participates in meetings, conferences, and committees at the United Nations with key UN bodies such as Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Department of Public Information (DPI), the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), The United Nations Department of Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and the World Bank to discuss with them how they can act in the interest of creating a world community that is accepting, just, and compassionate.
United Nations Consultative Status
For a non-profit organization to have any influence at the UN it needs to have UN "consultative status," of which there are two types:
- Department of Public Information (DPI): The Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office (UU-UNO) has DPI consultative status. DPI NGOs non-profits work to extend the UN's Department of Public Information's mission to explain and gain support for the UN's mission in the world. Our educational programs (Spring Seminar, UN Sunday, etc.) fit well into this mandate. Non-Profit organizations are referred to as "NGOs" or "Non-Governmental Organizations")
- Economic Social and Cultural Committee (ECOSOC): The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has ECOSOC consultative status and the UU-UNO exercises this status on behalf of the UUA. NGOs with ECOSOC status are those that are interested in policy issues within the UN system. The UU-UNO's work on human rights, climate change, disarmament, peace and security all fit into its ECOSOC status.
CoNGO Committees
The Conference of NGO's in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CoNGO) facilitates the participation of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the UN system. CoNGO works to ensure that NGOs have adequate access to UN meetings, conferences, special events, and documentation. The UU-UNO serves on the following CoNGO committees:
- UN NGO Committee on Human Rights, Bruce Knotts is a co-chair
- Subcommittee on anti-racism and other forms of intolerance.
- UN NGO Committee on Disarmament, Peace and Security, Bruce Knotts is the chair
- UN NGO Committee on Sustainable Development which works on climate change related issues, Bruce Knotts is on the governing board.
- UN NGO Committee on Migration which works on global migration issues.
Other Committees and Groups
- UN Faith the Ethics Network for the International Criminal Court, which support faith and ethical engagement to promote the work of the ICC. Bruce Knotts is the chair.
- NGO Security Council Working Group which meets with all the members nations of the UN Security Council for off-the-record meetings.
- UN Commission on the Status of Women which works to empower women for a better world.
DPI Committee
- NGO/DPI Executive Committee which provides help to the 1,400 NGOs with DPI consultative status. Bruce Knotts was elected the chair in 2015.

JAMES MICHAEL RICHARDSON VS. A. O. SMITH COMPANY Court:TSC - Workers Comp Panel Attorneys: For the Appellant: For the Appellee: Gregory D. Jordan T. J. Emison, Jr. Jeffery G. Foster P. O. Box 13 Rainey, Kizer, Butler, Alamo, TN 38001 Reviere & Bell, P.L.C. 105 South Highland P. O. Box 1147 Jackson, TN 38302-1147 Judge:TATUM First Paragraph: This workers' compensation appeal was referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. S50-6-225(e)(3) (Supp. 1998) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. This case was tried on February 24, 1998. The chancellor found that there was no period of temporary total disability, but awarded the plaintiff fifteen percent (15%) permanent partial disability to the whole body as a result of a work-related accident in December 1988 or January 1989. Defendant, A. O. Smith Company, has appealed the chancellor's decision as not supported by a preponderance of the evidence. After careful review, we find that the judgment of the trial court must be reversed. http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TSC_WCP/richards_opn.WP6
JUDICIAL ETHICS COMMITTEE OPINION NO. 99-1 Court:TSC - Rules Judge:KURTZ First Paragraph: Inquiry has been submitted to the Committee for issuance of an opinion as to whether a judge should recuse herself in all cases involving a certain law firm.

The lawyer also actively campaigned against the judge and was reported to be the author of several negative news articles about the judge. http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TSC_Rules/99-1_opn.WP6

Walsh St. Louis, Missouri Judge:KOCH First Paragraph: This appeal involves a problem-plagued commercial development in Nashville called Thompson Station. To shield the project from the developer's financial problems, the principals agreed that a corporation owned by the holding company that owned the contractor would own the project during construction and that the developer would have an option to purchase that corporation upon completion of the work.

In her motion and on appeal, she claims that the named respondents have ignored the trial court's judgment as regards sentencing by incorrectly calculating her sentence and failing to correct the error once notified of it.

On July 28, 1994, the appellant pleaded guilty to two counts of sale and delivery of crack cocaine less than a half gram, one count of aggravated assault, and one count of escape. The judge sentenced him to an effective sentence of seven years in the Department of Correction. On April 13, 1998, the appellant filed a Motion for Withdrawal of Guilty Plea alleging (1) that he was ineffectively assisted by counsel due to the failure of counsel to advise the appellant of his Fourth Amendment rights and (2) that his guilty pleas were not entered knowingly and intelligently. The court below dismissed the motion as untimely. The appellant contends that the trial court erred in dismissing his motion as time-barred because the time requirement for filing should be waived under his unique circumstances. Following a review of the record and the briefs of the parties, we affirm the trial court's dismissal. http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TCCA/Smithp_opn.WP6

Local businesses have been backing a national campaign to get more young people into Modern Apprenticeships to boost their career prospects.
Now in its fourth year, Scottish Apprenticeship Week, which runs until Friday, will see more than 120 events taking place from the Shetland Islands to the Borders.
The week-long celebration of Modern Apprenticeships is organised by national training body Skills Development Scotland (SDS).
Forfar company Strathmore Foods, one of Scotland's leading suppliers of chilled and frozen food, is one of the businesses investing in the future with Modern Apprenticeships.
Laura Knight, human resources manager, plays a large part in organising Strathmore's training and believes that Scottish Apprenticeship Week is an inspiring initiative.
She said: "I asked one of our warehouse Assistants, Shaun Florence, if he wanted to do a Modern Apprenticeship in Warehouse and Storage with the opportunity to progress to a Level 3 qualification. I was delighted when he agreed and he started the training in May 2013."
Shaun said he is enjoying the course and appreciates having his skills recognised.
He continued: "It's good to have it on paper and it's worth the effort as I'm well supported while doing it. It makes me feel very settled in work and able to build on my skills and abilities.
"I'm interested in doing customer service and the Modern Apprenticeship has helped my confidence so I would like to get further up in the company."

Fashion blogs are blogs that cover the fashion industry, clothing, and personal style.
A fashion blog can cover many things such as clothing and accessories. Other topics include runway trends, fashion items, e.g. shoes, handbags, celebrity fashion and street style outfits worn by regular people.[1][2] They cover fashion at all levels from the biggest names to the smallest indie designers [2] and clothing worn by people on the street.[3]
Many fashion blogs could also be categorised as shopping blogs as "most of the conversation is shopping advice, liberally laced with consumer recommendations", and some fashion retailers have now started blogs of their own to promote their products.[4]
Blogs that occasionally mention fashion, such as many "personal diaries of teenagers", are not categorised as fashion blogs.[5]
Fashion is a multi-billion-dollar industry that has considerable impact on the way ordinary people clothe themselves. As fashion is trend-driven and fashion blogs provide a new way to follow these trends, it is likely they will have a considerable long-term influence on the industry.
These are some of the things fashion journalists have said about fashion blogs and the impact they are having on the industry:
There is considerable disagreement regarding the number of fashion blogs in existence.
In a February, 2006 Women's Wear Daily article, Corcoran stated:
There is an enormous, and growing, number of fashion and shopping-related blogs: about 2 million, according to Technorati Inc., [...] or slightly less than 10 percent of the 27 million blogs the company tracks. (That number includes blogs in languages that use the Roman alphabet and that contain anything fashion-related, including sites such as Pink Is the New Blog, which focuses on celebrities.)[7]
It is likely that this figure is inflated by a substantial number of personal blogs that mention fashion. These are not considered fashion blogs using the criteria above.
All other estimates of the popularity of fashion blogs are considerably lower. In September 2005, La Ferla stated that "as little as a year ago, the number of [fashion bloggers] could be counted in the dozens. Today there are hundreds."[4] Lara Zamiatin estimated in November 2006 that there are now "several hundred fashion blogs".[8] The Style99, a ranking of influential fashion and beauty blogs is drawn from an index of more than 400 blogs, which are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure the content of blogs is updated on a regular basis and primarily focused on fashion or beauty. [9]
Fashion blogs can be categorised in a number of ways.
Fashion blogs may be written by insiders, outsiders or aspiring insiders.[1]
Insiders are people who work (or have previously worked) in the fashion industry or for the traditional fashion media. In addition, some fashion insiders blog occasionally as guest on larger sites. For example, the fashion designer Nanette Lepore has contributed to Glam.com.[7]
Outsiders are people who know a lot (or at least have strong opinions) about fashion, usually by virtue of being very dedicated consumers of fashion.
Aspiring insiders are people who want to work in the fashion industry or media and believe their blog may provide a 'back door' entry into a mainstream fashion writing job. Examples of people who have been employed within the fashion industry on the strength of their blogs include:
Fashion blogs may be owned either by individuals or by companies.
The types of individuals running fashion blogs are listed above.
The types of companies now running fashion blogs include large mainstream media organizations and fashion retailers. Mainstream media organisations that own fashion blogs include The Times (UK), Condé Nast Publications (US), Variety (US) and the Sydney Morning Herald (Australia). Fashion retailers with blogs include Bluefly, Queen of Suburbia and Splendora.[4]
Most successful fashion blogs follow a particular theme or angle. Some narrow their field to one type of fashion item e.g. shoes, handbags or denim. Some specialise in a particular price point: usually either very high-end or very budget conscious. Some cover celebrity fashion exclusively, while others cover street style. Some cover a mix of two or more of these topics. Many show the authors own personal style and asks for the readers opinion.
Fashion blogs are a relatively new phenomenon, so there are no detailed published accounts of their history yet.
Fashion blogs first appeared in the blogosphere prior to 2002[10] Both the number of fashion blogs and the number of media mentions of fashion blogs has grown considerably since then. Published accounts of the growing number of fashion blogs are mentioned above, and a Facteva search reveals that media articles mentioning "fashion blogs" grew from one in 2002 to over 100 in 2006.
In 2006, the commercial success and growing profile of fashion bloggers were the two main themes in coverage of fashion blogs.
In 2009, CNN wrote about a blogger, Rumi Neeley of Fashion Toast, who went from a small website to the runway for a popular label.[11]
Fashion blogs first appeared in the blogosphere prior to 2002,[10] and at least one fashion blogger was invited to New York Fashion Week as early as September 2003;[7] a short time later, Fashiontribes.com was being seated fourth row at shows like Bill Blass. By 2008 Tina Craig and Kelly Cook of Bag Snob.com were seated second row at shows like Diane von Furstenberg and Oscar de la Renta.[5]
The fashion blogs that attracted media attention in 2002 include two that are still in existence: LookOnline Daily Fashion Report and She She Me.[10]
In 2004, the first accessories blog, Manolo's Shoe Blog, was launched. While it has been stated that Manolo's Shoe Blog was the first fashion blog,[12] Manolo himself disputes this.[13] He says he read a number of fashion blogs in 2003, and these inspired him to start blogging.
Later in 2004, Michelle Madhok introduced SheFinds.com, "an online shopping publication". By 2005, the site earned $300,000 per year, although most of that revenue went towards running expenses and Madhok paid herself just $40,000 per year.[14]
Recent media reports state that some fashion blogs have become highly profitable, and that the influence of fashion blogs within the industry is growing. It could be said that fashion blogging is now developing from an interesting hobby, to a viable new media business.
Fashion blogs are increasingly becoming a part of the mainstream fashion press.
An increasing number of fashion bloggers were invited to designers' fashion shows in 2006 compared to previous years.[5] Large advertisers like H&M and Gap have bought advertising on fashion blogs,[5] and other large companies like the underwear-maker Jockey are targeting fashion blogs in their PR efforts.[4]
Many big media organizations have started fashion blogs and the best fashion bloggers are now also being offered mainstream media positions. (See above for more details.)
Fashion blogging is also now regarded as worthy of mainstream media coverage. The reference list below shows the very high caliber of media publication that have written about fashion blogs. These publications include the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fast Company and the Sydney Morning Herald.
Street fashion has recently made its way into the world of blogs. An increasing number of blogs now feature fashion on real people, and show how trends are applied in the street.
Fashion blogging is rapidly becoming a highly profitable new media business, with a mixture of independent blogs and well-funded fashion blog networks competing to dominate the space.
Manolo's Shoe Blog is believed to be the most profitable independent fashion blog, "rumored to be [earning] around $700,000 a year" by 2006.[12] Manolo has confirmed he earns a six-figure salary through blogging.[15] Other commercially successful independent fashion blogs include The Budget Fashionista, which reportedly brings in $150,000 a year in revenue[16] and The Bag Snob, which "generates a six-figure income, mainly from advertising".[12] By 2008 SheFinds.com was generating $400,0000 in revenue per year. "White Cat Media Tells You Where to Get a Bargain"More examples of independent fashion blogs that have achieved commercial success can be found in the references listed at the end of this article.
There have also been a series of business deals have brought serious investor money into the fashion blogging space. These include:
Blogging is hard work, and few bloggers in any industry are willing to devote the kind of time and effort necessary to build and hold a significant audience without some hope of financial reward.
Bloggers like Manolo of Manolo's Shoe Blog generate enough traffic that they can monetize it directly by selling impressions to advertisers. This is rare.
Pay per click advertising placement is another monetization tactic employed by many fashion blogs. Recent advances in contextual ad placement have rendered PPC placement an increasingly attractive option.
Virtually all fashion blogs employ some form of affiliate marketing, the most straightforward being the simple product review. A Fashion Blog which successfully integrates affiliate marketing techniques within its site is FashionBeans. The writer blogs about voucher codes, sales, men's fashion collections and news but then links through to relevant men's fashion retailers using affiliate links. In addition, there is a recommended fashion section which is generated using affiliate CSV data feeds to create 1000's of product listings with up-to-date prices and deep links to the appropriate men's clothing. Affiliate networks like Commission Junction and LinkShare facilitate this process in exchange for a piece of the action - normally a commission of around 5 - 20% of the total transaction.
There are dozens of affiliate networks that a blogger can sign up with, each offering different retailers. A blogger must log in to each network to get the affiliate links to earn money when they want to mention a retailer. These links contain the URL of the merchant along with the unique ID number of the publisher so the affiliate network can track how many people click on the link, and various redirect commands in the link. The publisher can log in to each network to see the reports on the click rates of their links and commissions earned. There are also services like Skimlinks that have relationships with thousands of affiliate retailers that are on the networks and turn normal links to products in the content into affiliate links on the fly when a user clicks on them, so publishers do not need to grab extensive links from various networks, and bloggers can sign up to get access to a large database of retailers and reports in one place.
The proliferation of XML product data feeds has added a new twist to the affiliate marketing play. Companies like GoldenCan now aggregate product feeds from multiple affiliate networks and provide tools that make it easy for fashion blogs to expose product data to both shoppers and search spiders. Velvet Way is a good example of a site that has integrated affiliate data feeds with locally-generated product reviews.
While there are tens of thousands of English-language blogs dedicated to fashion, the vast majority have little to say and even less of an audience. Identifying the most influential ones can be somewhat of a challenge.
Australian blogs that have attracted media attention are Sassybella, The Bargain Queens, Beijing Baby!, Drop dead gorgeous daily and Imelda. Sassybella is an online fashion magazine that allows anyone to "find information about the latest It bags, see what It girls are wearing, as well as what's going on in the industry" with an emphasis on the latest fashion and beauty news.[8] The Bargain Queens blog is a blog "dedicated to sharing information on how to sniff out a bargain".[20] Beijing Baby! is a site dedicated to a young women's daily insights and stories on life and fashion.[8] Drop dead gorgeous daily, written by ex-Shop til you drop and Grazia.com.au journalist Kate McKibbin is probably more like an online magazine, all based around online shopping. And Imelda, a blog written by Sydney public relations executive Matt Jordan, is the first Australian blog to focus on footwear.
In December 2006, it was stated that "Britain still lags behind the US in developing the fashion blogosphere, but things are picking up."[12] Grant mentions Catwalk Queen as an example of a UK fashion blog.[12] Catwalk Queen began as a personal blog by Gemma Cartwright before it was sold to Shiny Media.[21] It grew into one of the biggest UK based fashion blogs with a handful of writers blogging for it at any time.
The London fashion blog Style Bubble has also attracted media attention with her "guide to trends, designers and shopping hot spots in Britain's capital city".[8] In 2008 Susie Bubble was named among the Evening Standard's 'London's 1000 most influential' in the Fashion category.[22]
Other popular British fashion blogs include Frassy, London Rose and The Clothes Whisperer,[23] which stand out due to the bloggers' unique styles. Frassy wears eccentric vintage combos, while London Rose dresses in a glam-grunge/rock style and The Clothes Whisperer is renowned for her quirky sense of humor.

I was born and raised in Regina where I attended the University of Regina and graduated with my Bachelor of Education. I began my teaching career in the vibrant community of LeRoy in 1974 and then in 1981 secured employment at Humboldt Collegiate Institute. I taught at the Collegiate for 30 years and retired just before they moved into the new building. I thoroughly enjoyed my teaching career as I had the opportunity to meet so many people, teach and coach many young adults and work with a great bunch of teachers and support staff.
One of the aims of education is to instill in students and adults the desire for continuous education and learning. I am a strong believer in this and so when I decided that I wanted to enter a new career, real estate was at the top of my list. The opportunity presented itself to work with an excellent organization and respected and dedicated people and so upon completion of the required courses, I became a certified residential salesperson. Enthusiasm, passion, meeting and helping others were key components of my teaching career along with organizational and time management skills. Combine this with the marketing courses as well as continuous upgrading and I will provide you with excellent service.
I enjoy reading, the Riders, volunteering, camping, fishing, canoeing, biking, astronomy, soccer and of course spending time with my family and friends.
Co Chair of Habitat for Humanity, Humboldt Chapter
Habitat for Humanity Humboldt Chapter began the construction of a duplex for two families in July 2012. On February 1, 2013, the famiilies moved in.
The following is from the Progress Report that was written in February 2013:
"Great news! The families moved in on February 1 to a completed duplex built by volunteers from Humboldt and area under the supervision of Site Manager Tim Prytula. Actual construction of the Habitat for Humanity duplex — each side has four bedrooms over 1,900 square feet on both floors — on the east side of Humboldt began in July, 2012."
Go to discoverhumboldt.com and search Key Ceremony Habitat which occurred on February 8, 2013.
Picture and radio clips included. Also search for Habitat for Humanity for past information
It was a successful build that allowed two families to purchase affordable housing.
Both myself and the other Co Chair have chosen to step aside and let another one or two Chairs lead the next build.

In summer 2014, BBBS of Humboldt joined with Saskatoon as a satellite affiliate, and the Board was discontinued. However, I still like to stay involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters and in particular be a regular fundraiser, worker and participant in Bowl for Kids Sake. This February, 2016, the theme was Super Heroes and I decided to bowl as Captain Canada. It did not help my score but the Century 21 Diamond Realty agents had fun and raised some money for BBBS.

Some players experience the thrill of winning a title but in a sporting competition, only one team can win it all.
That doesn't mean that basketball players on those sides that don't quite make it can't be sky high every once in a while.
Meet Estonian Reinar Hallik, a 24-year-old forward with Lappeenranta of Finland.
Hallik had one of the finest shooting performances of the season against PAOK BC in the EuroCup on December 17?
PAOK were getting blown out but reeled off 14 consecutive points to trail 55-48 with 4:21 to go in the third quarter when Hallik, the Finnish club's 2.08m forward, entered the game.
He immediately buried a three-ball.
After PAOK scored again, Hallik replied with another long-range shot for a 61-50 advantage.
PAOK continued to battle and closed the gap to eight with less than two minutes to go in the third, but Hallik responded with another three for a 65-54 advantage.
PAOK refused to quit, and consecutive jump shots from them made it 69-63 with 8:00 remaining.
Have no fear, Hallik is here.
He stepped up to nail his fourth straight three-pointer to take the lead back to nine and end the PAOK resistance.
Lappeenranta will not be advancing to the next stage of the EuroCup, but they will surely look back on the season with some good memories.
FIBA Europe caught up with Hallik this week.
FIBA Europe: Reinar, congratulations on a good performance in the EuroCup this year with Lappeenranta. The wins have been tough to come by of late, but how would you evaluate the club's performance, and yours overall?
Reinar Hallik: "Thank you. Yeah, it was a pretty good year for the team. Lappeenranta went to the top 16 and it is a big thing for Finnish basketball. Our team is pretty young and we don't have that much experience, yet. That's why I think we lost a few close games in the last minutes and that ended our chances of going to the top eight."
FIBA Europe: How popular is basketball in Finland now and has there been a lot of interest in your club's games this season?
Reinar Hallik: "It's been my first year playing in Finland. Basketball is not as popular as in my home country, Estonia. Finland is more of an ice hockey country, but here in Lappeenranta, basketball is really big, because this is one of strongest teams in Finland and our games are always sold out. Finland television shows all our FIBA (EuroCup) games."
FIBA Europe: What has been the best moment that you can remember from the EuroCup in the 2007-08 campaign?
Reinar Hallik: "I think it was advancing to the top 16. After we beat Keravnos, we were so happy, because not a lot of people believed that we could beat them."
FIBA Europe: Reinar, Finland won promotion to EuroBasket Division A and will now attempt to qualify for EuroBasket 2009. How do you rate your country's chances of making it to the EuroBasket in Poland?
Reinar Hallik: "I think Finland have a pretty good team and they deserve to play in Division A. But if you ask about the Estonian national team, it's going to be hard for Estonia to make EuroBasket 2009. If (Martin) Müürsepp and (Gert) Kullamäe continue to play in the national team, then we have a chance."
FIBA Europe: Last question, Reinar. If you were not a professional basketball player, what in life would you like to do?
Reinar Hallik: "I really can't imagine my life without basketball, so I think I would be a basketball coach."
FIBA Europe: Thanks Reinar, and good luck with the rest of the season.

Every day I will make an effort to pray with my children before we move into a busy day.
2. Smile more
That means that when things are not going the way I believe they should go instead of putting on a grumpy face, yes a grumpy face, I am going to put on a smile. I am already seeing the results from this ( :
My oldest son says that I should really only commit to one resolution and I should see greater success. I agree. Besides my first resolution has been one of the hardest ones for me to keep since I started working full time.
Resolutions here I come!

Hey guys, just finished up updating my UI for MOP. Very clean, concise, and works excellent in PvE/PvP.
Very uncluttered, full buff/debuff timers with Forte, set up already for new abilities/dispatch procs, etc.
Weakauras is the main contributor, providing combo points, Blade Flurry tracking, tracking for every major defensive Cooldown in PvP on your target with time remaining, and execute phase. Also added in fun 3d animated Auras for major cooldowns on the player frames.
Raid frames provided by Vuhdo.
Multiple clean KgPanels make the skeleton of the UI, with hidden KgPanels which appear on mouseover for Poison Tab, Mount/Professions, and Micro Menu.
In Combat:
The PvP major Buff/Debuff timer shows to the right of target frame. Icon with time remaining on it, and plays a small sound to alert you. Pretty much any Major Defensive/Offensive CD you'll need to know about your target.
(Example: Evasion on myself)
Tidyplates is set up so you can see your relevant PvP Debuffs on nameplates, even if you aren't targeting them currently. CS, KS, Blind, Garrote, Dismantle, Gouge, Hemo Dot, etc. Tracks on multiple units.
(Example: Blind)
Examples of the animated aura frame for Shadow Dance (there's one for AR and Vendetta also):
There are hidden KgPanels attached to Bartender bars which appear on mouseover for Poisons, Mount/Professions tab, and MicroMenu.
Example: Mount/Profession)

I like the original WoW inteface, so i kept trying to make it look similar, but cleaner.

I track most of my things with Weak Auras, as you can see. And in the start of the fight it looks rather messy. To the left are my CDs and TotT and to the right are my SnD and Rupture. In middle my Revealing Strike. I love comergy!
Larger Picture= http://i.imgur.com/5fU54.jpg
I use Forte Xorcist to track the timer of SnD, RvS, Rupture, deep insight and Adrenaline rush(when its on).
The little gray icons gives me a fast way to see how long the cooldown is on my CDs, and my Xorcist bar shows it in seconds. Moar Auras for my Insight and Shadows of the Destroyer.

DAAAAAM hahah, for me I just have a gong sound play over power auras :P, But Power auras has been really shitty atm with lag bugs
I've also found from Raiding a lot that if you have them specific colors, they can get drowned out on some encounters due to the color of the locale. In ICC, I had to change my Combo Point colors because of this; they ended up matching the backgrounds of the boss fights, and it was distracting.
As for colors, you can solve the problem by putting a decent opaque background around them - this way they will be more visible and the actual color of them will be less important. For your case a black 1px border should be enough.

Huge chat, standard minimap and buffs/debuffs which occupy a lot of space, humongous damage numbers.
A lot of room for improvement, standard positions for player/target frames are fine but a unitframes addon will make them smaller/better hence again more free space to use.
Cannot link a rogue image because if race change in progress XD but this DK shot should suffice - i'm playing on 1366, anyway even if i have a very small screen, the UI isn't cluttered.

Suggestions for improvement welcome.
I downloaded your whole blkui thing, I like it a lot. All I changed was making unit frames show percent health and current. And a mail Addon was missing to collect all mail in one click.
Vuhdo is the raid frames right? Is there anyway to make that show a little icon for raid or dungeon role?
Regen#1804 need NA overwatch friends.
There are a lot of options, go take a look and make experiments
