Hawkeye 7
So I got an email this morning from Jason Beamish:
Quick question, (and I have no quick way to get to Fraction) — my church has agreed to pick up 40 copies of [Hawkeye 7] to donate to one of our teachers's reading classes. The shop owner ended up giving us 50% off the books. I've got this crazy idea to see if they are willing to pony up the full cost on the books and throw the difference straight into the donation.
Would Matt accept a check for the difference to add in?
Lovely, right?
I told him of course, but man, it would be much easier just to donate it straight to the Red Cross.
To which he responded:
Which ever way works, I just want it to tally properly so people know that comikers care.
…which is unbelievably sweet. So here's what we're thinking — if Hawkeye 7 warms the points of your I'M-GREAT-AT-BOATS arrows and you want to throw and extra couple bucks toward RED CROSS DISASTER RELIEF in the name of comickers and their gigantic hearts:
- Go to the Red Cross disaster relief donation page;
- Fill out your donation information;
- Where it says IN HONOR OF put HAWKGUY & YOUR NAME;
- Take a screen cap of JUST the IN HONOR OF PART (we don't need to know how much you gave, that you gave is enough);
- Email or tweet the screen cap to me @kellysue or Fraction @mattfraction and we'll put it up on our tumblrs tagged #hawkguy;
- Sit back and let's see how we do.
Maybe your little bit extra will help inspire somebody else to throw in a little bit extra too.
We cool?

I love this fab video from one of my favorite celebrity stylists Monica Rose. Watch for some inspiration on styling pieces from your own jewelry collection!
Throughout the month of January I have become more and more cranberry-crazed! The rich and juicy hues found often in Fall/Winter fashion suggest warmth, luxury, and sophistication. I've selected a few of my favorite looks to share:
It's easy to create instant polish with these sophisticated separates. I love how the rich cranberry lace skirt gives an otherwise modern and masculine black and white outfit a more vintage and feminine vibe. Black patent booties and the animal print accessories keep it looking young and hip. Worn with black opaque tights and a conservatively cut white-tee, this look can easily be worn in the office as well.
I love this look because my favorite way to style a soft feminine dress is by adding tough accessories that suggest some edge and personality. The cut of this dress is also very modern but still sophisticated. By adding black booties, a black clutch, and a studded belt- the dress is no longer just evening-wear appropriate.
Everyday accessible AND truly adorable! Pull out those floral print skirts you thought you couldn't wear til Spring and pair it with some opaque tights,chunky boots, and a slouchy sweater for a look that is so soft and feminine. Her soft curls and bangs under the "old-mans" hat are absolute perfection for a laid back but pulled together vibe.
I covet this bold cranberry color and the jacket's timeless shape and details. The color flatters every skin tone, and this jacket can just as easily be worn with jeans and a sweater as it could with a dress and heels. Simply stunning. I particularly love how it's paired with a bubble-gum pink skirt. Pairing colors from the same palette is always so chic.
I've always had mad love for the Michael Kors ad campaigns and this season is no exception. Today I added this ad to my inspiration board. I love every piece in all of it's golden-glory!
I definitely have a few similar pieces for sale in the boutique- like the gorgeous over-sized pyramid ring right in front. To DIE for! I will definitely be using this ad as a guide for the January collection at Signature Style. After-all, who wouldn't want to be covered in gold chains and sparkling baubles? Thankfully- you won't need a Michael Kors budget to score some of these gorgeous jewels. You're welcome ;)
Anybody else want to join THIS party?!?!
Personal stylist to the Kardashians- Monica Rose puts together 4 adorable looks using the wardrobe staple. Love it!
I have a serious obsession and large collection of beautiful scarves- I love this video for finding new ways to wear them!
I strongly believe in the these Top 10 Jewelry Must-Haves for every woman's wardrobe! No matter what the occasion, if you have a wardrobe that includes these staples- you will be able to pull together ANY outfit. If you are starting your jewelry wardrobe from scratch, I suggest you invest in the simplest version of each must-have. As your budget permits, get a little creative and add your own personal flair to each piece!
1. Diamond studs- Whether it's a gift from a loved one or a gift to yourself, every woman needs a pair of real diamond studs. These are your everyday go-to pair of earrings that you don't even need to think about. These can be tiny little flecks of shimmer or larger statement making studs (think Kim Kardashian). And of course- if you're budget doesn't allow for real diamonds, there are some incredibly beautiful cubic zirconia options out there as well! Experiment with different shapes and sizes. You will love how these simple studs bring brightness to you face!
2. Chandelier earrings- Chandelier earrings are a must-have because they can turn your work outfit into your happy hour or date outfit. There are SO many varieties of chandelier earrings, from small and simple to huge and colorful. I love the gorgeous turquoise chandelier earrings shown here from the SS boutique. They are from Amrita Singh and can make a simple black dress or t-shirt and jeans look instantly pulled together. Imagine taking these on your beach vacation and wearing with a long-gorgeous-printed-strapless dress! When wearing chandelier earrings, you often don't need any other jewelry- especially if they are large and colorful like these.
3. Statement necklace- The statement necklace has been growing in popularity (and size) for quite awhile now. Again- this is the piece that will set the mood for your entire look and draw the eye up towards your face- where it belongs :) You can literally wear the exact same dress with two different statement necklaces and make the look completely different. The image of Ciara show below is a perfect example. The white dress looks edgy and modern with the spikes and hard metal necklace. Paired with a rumple of pearls and crystals the look would be very lady-like and sophisticated. The SS boutique has some great options for statement necklaces.
4. Gold or silver hoop earrings- The gold or silver hoop is just as essential as the diamond stud. It literally goes with everything and the tiny sliver of shiny metal totally brightens up your face. There are tiny hoops and enormous hoops (think Beyonce), blinged out hoops, textured hoops, and simple metal hoops like the ones shown above. No matter what your personal preference- there is a perfect hoop for you!
5. Tear-drop earring- The teardrop earring is incredibly fun but also very sophisticated. Worn with your hair tied back, or a super short hair-cut the look is perfection. Like the chandelier earring, it pulls together a simple outfit and comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. The blue drop earrings shown above are one of the best selling styles from Amrita Singh- available in the SS boutique.
6. Pendant necklace- The pendant necklace will range in length from your collar-bone to your belly button. This is a great piece for laying with other necklaces of varying length. Layer with intention- the pieces don't have to be the same metal, but they should have a similar look or style. I love a great pendant necklace because it's incredibly versatile. Wear it with a nice sweater, simple v-neck t-shirt and jeans, a dress, or under a blazer and collared button-up. This piece adds focus to your look.
7. Cuff- I absolutely adore cuffs and thankfully there are SO many different options out there! This is true arm-candy, the statement piece for your wrist. When wearing a great cuff, you don't need any other jewelry. Cuffs range from delicate to big, bold, and embellished. If you have small wrists like me- I like to stick to delicate cuffs like the one shown on the left. There are some great stretchy options out there that hug your wrist instead of overpowering you. The edgy pyramid cuff from CC Skye on Eva is equally gorgeous and carries a lot of punch and personality.
8. Something turquoise- I strongly believe that every woman needs a piece of beautiful turquoise jewelry. Whether its a necklace, ring, earring, or bracelet- you just need one. Period. There is nothing more gorgeous than a piece of turquoise jewelry worn with all black in the winter or all white in the summer. SS carries a lot of turquoise pieces so I'm sure you'll be able to find an affordable option!
9. Gold chain link bracelet- This is must-have because it is a classic and timeless piece. This is a great piece to spend a little money on because you will have it forever. I'm totally loving the thick, oversized toggle bracelets right now layered with other gold bangles and rings. It's incredibly chic and sophisticated and you will be surprised at how many outfits you can wear it with.
10. Bangles- I saved my personal favorite for last. I am completely obsessed with bangles right now! Amrita Singh hands-down has the best selection of GORGEOUS bangles which is why I carry so many of them at the SS boutique. I get them in every single color because they're so easy to throw on and brighten up your outfit. I get so many compliments on my bangles- trust me- you need Amrita Singh! They're especially a must-have for a dinner date or night out with friends. The restaurant/lounge lighting brings out their glorious shimmer. Bangles are also perfect for layering with your other bracelets, or wear just a couple at a time. I just love a wrist-full of glistening bangles!
Did I miss any of your must-haves? Did I inspire you to purchase any of these items? Take a picture of yourself wearing your favorite piece and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll post my faves in my blog. I'd love your feedback!
-Kirsten :)

SanDisk Corp Options
An options play examined
Written by Douglas Estadt
Ash Rust from StockTwits http://twitter.com/ashrust explains an options play he opened today with SanDisk. Here's how he played SNDK:
- Shorted Mar. 19: 31/32 calls
- Shorted the 31 call and bought the 32 (this way he'll reduce risk significantly)
- Sold the call @ .60 and bought the 32 call at .37
thinks that it's not going to go too much further up and at the same time is giving
himself another 5-6 % of room. This
will pay 30% as long as SNDK closes below 31 on March expiry.
- Bought Mar. 26 puts at .37 (with the puts he is genuinely shorting the stock)

The University of Virginia is officially tapping into a new world for education.
The first of its online courses went global Monday morning, providing hundreds of thousands of people with high-quality instruction at no cost.
Physics professor Lou Bloomfield is taking his message to the masses.
"Taking it online allows me to explain real science to a lot of people," he said.
Bloomfield is one of five professors trading in the traditional learning environment for one that can be accessed with a point and a click.
And this isn't a talking head lecture; he's bringing a style that makes physics pop.
"My class is about the real world and I can't go to the real world, but for these videos, the online version of the class, I can do it," Bloomfield said.
Bloomfield's videos are all about action, and some include doing demonstrations while roller skating or dropping objects from the third floor of the physics building.
The free courses are made possible by a partnership with Coursera, a company that works with universities to offer free online courses.
At last check, more than 37,000 people had signed up for Bloomfield's course and the university's six courses combined had surpassed the quarter-of-a-million mark.
UVA's Online Learning Environment program will meet with deans in February to assess progress and determine the next steps. The physics class will launch on March 4.

Newtonian world view taught in schools as "physics" is the atomic materialist doctrine of the cult of Newton. My mission is to eliminate Newtonian branding from physics to recover its pre-Newtonian pristine state and replace Newton's supernatural force and absurd matter with density as the fundamental unit of nature.
* * *
Densytics: physics without Newtonian branding
1. Newton's computation of orbits in the Principia
To compute orbits Newton is using a simple proportionality tying the radius R and period T of the orbit. This is the original proportional form of what is known today as Kepler's Third Law (I call it Kepler's Rule). Newton writes Kepler's Rule as
and labels both sides "force"
and then cancels the label force and computes the orbit with Kepler's Rule. This is basically the same method still used by physicists to demonstrate orbit calculations with Newtonian mechanics.
2. Newton computes orbits with Kepler's Rule
Newton used Kepler's Rule as his operational formula to compute orbits but he stated Kepler's Rule with his labels "force" and "mass" to brand Kepler's Rule as Newton's Laws and to define orbits as forceful and dynamical. This is very easy to confirm since there are only six propositions in the Principia where Newton computes orbits. For instance, Newton's famous "Moon Test" is nothing more than a simple confirmation of Kepler's Rule showing that it works for the Earth-Moon system.
3. Kepler's Rule is the definition of density
Newton was the first person who understood that Kepler's Rule was the definition of density; Newton encoded this information in the definition 1 of the Principia.
4. Density is the fundamental unit of nature
If my understanding of Kepler's Rule is correct then density is the fundamental unit of nature, not matter and force as Newton claimed. Matter and force terms are ideological and decorative terms that are written but then are cancelled and/or hidden from view. Matter and force does not enter operational formulas used in orbit computations.
5. Orbits are densytic not dynamic
According to Kepler's Rule orbits are not forceful or matterful, orbits are geometrical because orbits are explained with a rule that has only two geometric terms, radius and angle (interpreted as period). Kepler's Rule is also the definition of density, so orbits are densytic not dynamic.
I uphold the authority of Kepler's Rule over Newton's arbitrary assumption that nature is matterful. Kepler's Rule defines a matterless world based on observations; Newton defines a matterful world based on an alleged revelation.
6. Newton's Zeroth Law: the doctrine of atomic materialism
Newton assumed a matterful nature and claimed God's authority for his assumption. Zeroth Law is Newton's assertion of the doctrine of atomic materialism as the unquestionable initial principle of the Newtonian physics:
God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable movable particles.
7. Physics is a cult impersonating science
Newton's assumption of a matterful and occult nature is not a law of nature but it is merely an assumption that Newton later asserted and legalized with his laws. Physics is based on an alleged divine revelation that self-anointed false prophet Newton claimed to have received from God. This historical fact reduces Newtonism doing business as physics to a cult impersonating science.
8. Proof that there is no absolutely hard surface
That there are no absolute indivisibles in nature can also be shown with Kepler's Rule combined with modern physicists' belief that c is the speed limit in nature.
I assume that
— surface is defined by its density
— there is no absolute surface
— surface exists only when it is defined and named
— Kepler's Rule is the definition of density
— according to Kepler's Rule density is frequency squared
Therefore, there cannot be a surface denser than 1/c.
This makes "matter" defined by Newton as a "massy" particle with an absolutely hard surface an ideological label that does not exist in nature. Absolute matter as defined by Newton exists only in physics, not in nature.
Alternatively, the way Newton assumed absolute indivisible discontinuities without any observational evidence we can do the same and assume that nature is continuous and definitional and not matterful. This assumption eliminates all Newtonian branding and all absurd paraphernalia physicists added to physics to explain nature with supernatural forces and absurd atomic materialism assumed by Newton.
9. In the Bible God creates by defining
I was curious to find out if Newton took his Zeroth Law from the Bible; I could not find it, but while reading Genesis 1 I noticed the way Bible describes creation: God creates by defining and naming. God is not creating a discontinuous Newtonian nature based on absolutely indivisible particles. On the contrary, God defines and names and then likes what he defined. This method of creation by fiat is in more harmony with our observation that in nature existence is definitional and contractual.
10. Newtonism should not be taught in the classroom
Considering that Newton uses Kepler's Rule with his ideological terms of mass and force to uphold his atomic materialist doctrine, and his disciples continue this tradition, I conclude that Newtonism is a scientific fraud and a cult and it should not be taught in the classroom.
If students are not getting the choice of hearing the Bible or other books why are they being taught the cult of Newtonism and its atomic materialist faith as the only true knowledge?
I realize that Newton myth is so well-established that even a suggestion of Newton and physics to be a cult will not be taken seriously by educators or even parents.
11. Physicists teach Cavendish experiment as a miracle of the cult of Newton
There is an experiment, the Cavendish experiment, that is taught widely in the classroom. In this demonstration students are asked to believe that the arm of the pendulum is moved by Newtonian occult force. I see this as a miracle of the cult of Newton because occult does not exist in nature; the only reason students are asked to believe that the arm of the pendulum is moved by Newton's occult force is because physics is a cult of Newton.
I have been sending cease and desist letters to universities to stop teaching the Cavendish experiment. I have not heard from any of them yet.
* * *
I know that no physicist will give a fair hearing to my cause but if you are concerned about being subjected to the doctrines of the cult of Newton as the only true knowledge and you are ready to question the doctrines of this 18th century British cult impersonating science, I'd like to hear from you.

The bands' Irish lad has been passing a lot milestones this week.
Driving test – check, brand new first car – check & now he has welcomed his 9 millionth follower on twitter…which he might be the most excited about.
By doing so he has cracked into a very exciting new group of people, because he is now amongst the top 50th most followed people on Earth, scratching at the heels of Kanye West.
He is officially number 44 on the list, which puts him ahead of the likes of Mariah Carey & nutter Charlie Sheen. Significantly though, he is now ahead of Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole – three of the judges who criticised and/or praised him at the very beginning of his career.
We think he has truly lived up to the high expectations that Katy Perry put on him, soon enough even she might be below the mighty 1D boys.
Nialler was pretty casual about acknowledging it though, tweeting the following:
"Holy poop! I just noticed I have 9 million followers! Thank you soo much guys! Best fans on planet."
It was our pleasure Nialler, we love you!

MONDAY, Nov. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Poor, minority and
special-needs kids in the United States are more likely than other
children to be stricken with the pain of toothache, researchers
In their study, Dr. Charlotte Lewis and Dr. James Stout of the
University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle analyzed
data from almost 87,000 children, aged 1 to 17 years, who took part
in the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health.
The investigators found that about 10.7 percent of children had
experienced a toothache in the previous six months. Toothache was
most common among kids aged 6 to 12, affecting 14 percent of them
in the past six months.
Black and multiracial children were significantly more likely to
have suffered a toothache than white youngsters, even when the
researchers factored in insurance and poverty status. The highest
prevalence of toothache was noted among children from poor
families. And compared with kids who either had private insurance
or no insurance, kids who were covered by Medicaid were more likely
to experience a toothache, according to the report.
The study authors also found that special needs children had a
significantly higher prevalence of toothache when compared with
kids without special needs.
"The prevalence of toothache, particularly among vulnerable groups who disproportionately experience it, serves to reinforce the importance of physician involvement in oral health and of efforts to better evaluate and improve our nation's oral health and dental care system," Lewis and Stout concluded. "Optimally, our nation's health care system would include equitable and universal dental care access so that all Americans could obtain preventive oral health care as well as timely diagnosis and treatment of dental disease."
The study findings are published in the November issue of the
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

Controlling loop flow with simple restarts
Sometimes you know in advance how you want to change control flow in a loop. Other times you might want to defer that decision by offering a restart. For example, here's a loop with a pair of with-simple-restarts:
(with-simple-restart (stop-processing "Stop processing users") (dolist (user (pending-user-list)) (with-simple-restart (skip "Skip user ~A" user) (process-user user))))
If there is a problem processing users, you might get something in the debugger that looks like this:
Could not find home directory for "nancy" [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR] Restarts: 0: [SKIP] Skip user nancy 1: [STOP-PROCESSING] Stop processing users
You can then interactively choose which action to take, depending on what's most appropriate for the condition at hand.
(You can also choose restarts non-interactively. That's a tip for another day.)

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — The University of Montana faces a nearly $6 million budget deficit for the rest of the 2014 fiscal year and has implemented a "hiring chill" as its leaders look for ways to save money due to decreased enrollment.
University President Royce Engstrom issued a budget update Wednesday that said tenured professors will be asked to do more teaching and student advising while the use of adjunct faculty will likely decrease.
Mike Reid, the university's vice president of finance and administration, said about $3.2 million of the revenue shortfall will be covered by savings on items such as utilities, printing and software purchases, while another $2.5 million will come from departments.
"Since the beginning of the academic year, when the enrollment looked soft among upper division students, we implemented a hiring chill," Reid said. "We looked at restructuring and using attrition to help make up the savings, and it's helping the departments identify some funds."
The university's fiscal 2015 budget will start with $9 million less in base spending than last year, the Missoulian reported (http://bit.ly/1fj94Gl ).
Last spring, the university asked five working groups to find ways to cut costs and increase enrollment. The groups' recommendations will come into play as the budget committee looks toward 2015.
The working group assigned to find cost reductions suggested finding ways to save on travel and leveraging the university's buying power to save money. Other suggestions included offering more classes in the summer and integrating Missoula College with the main campus.
Efforts to increase enrollment include offering more scholarships, making earlier contact with potential students and making it easier to apply for admission. UM had 1,656 first-time freshmen enroll in 2002, a number that fell to 1,175 in 2012.

I've been against the Western intervention in Libya because I know that U.S. and E.U. interests are the only interests that will be served by helping the Libyan people overthrow their brutal government. The regime that takes over will be one approved by these interests and not the interests of the Libyan people. Their revolution has been co-opted in order to steal the wealth of the Libyan people while their lives change little if any. There's also the broader idea that revolutions should be won and not handed over. The Libyan people cannot emancipate themselves if their revolution is won via American missiles, or as Eugene Debs would say, "I would not lead you into the promised land if I could, because if I led you in, some one else would lead you out. You must use your heads as well as your hands, and get yourself out of your present condition."
But if I am being brutally honest, the videos depicting a beaten and terrified Gaddafi provided a mixture of emotions. A sick pleasure at seeing possibly the world's richest person being torn from power after creating misery for decades. A revulsion at the blood lust in the Libyan rebels' (and soon to be murderers') eyes as they lowered themselves to the level of their former enemy. I didn't take pleasure at human suffering, but rather the symbolism of it all, I suppose.
The Libyan people have traded one enemy for another in allowing for Western involvement in their struggle for freedom. Their land will be the new "breeding ground" and decades of chaos await them, if Iraq and Afghanistan are any example. I think it was Conan O'Brien I heard make the joke recently that the way Obama's administration is handling itself, "healthcare" would be one of the last things Obama would be known for – what with his miles long kill list.
Despite these fears of what lies ahead for the Libyan people, the fact remains that with or without help they have removed their dictator and have made an important step towards liberating themselves and deciding their future for themselves. I wish them the best of luck and hope that my fears are mistaken.

It took about six years and a $5.2 million jury verdict against a polygamous town, but the Cooke family finally has water running through their pipes and out their faucets.
An attorney for the Cookes and a lawyer for Colorado City, Ariz., both confirmed the water was connected in April.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Jeff Matura, an attorney for Colorado City, said the city connected the water, in part, due to the jury verdict. He said the city wanted to "reach across the aisle and show some good faith to the Cookes."
But Matura said the city is not admitting any errors or wrongdoing.
"The Colorado City Town Council believed it was the right thing to do to connect the Cookes, despite the extreme water shortage in the community," Matura said.
The Cookes did not respond to Tribune requests for comment. Their attorney, Bill Walker, said he contacted Matura after the March court verdict and asked for the water connection.
Matura said he encouraged Colorado City's utility board and town council to approve the hook up. The Cookes had to agree to some standard terms, including paying for a connector from the water main to their home, and to pay the monthly rates.
The water dispute was the centerpiece of a eight-week civil trial earlier this year at a federal courthouse in Phoenix.
Colorado City and adjoining Hildale, Utah, are the home of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Cooke family husband and father, Ron Cooke, grew up in the faith but left as a teenager.
Ron Cooke suffered a work accident that left him disabled, and the family moved to Colorado City in 2008 and took residence in an unfinished home belonging to the United Effort Plan, the trust run by the state of Utah that controls much of the property in Hildale and Colorado City.
Colorado City officials refused to connect the Cooke's home to the municipal utilities. The town eventually connected electricity and sewer, but refused to hook up the water.
At trial, attorneys representing Colorado City and Hildale argued the Cookes failed to comply with the procedures for a connection, that there was a water shortage and the Cookes' lawsuit was orchestrated by United Effort Plan Fiduciary Bruce Wisan.
The U.S. Department of Justice and the state of Arizona both joined the Cookes' lawsuit, all arguing that the Cookes were victims of religious discrimination.
They called to the witness stand former FLDS security personnel who testified how they were trained to use a network of surveillance cameras, on and off public property, to monitor the Cookes and other outsiders, and how the Cookes were subjected to harassment.
But the most heart-wenching testimony may have come from Jinjer Cooke. She told the jury about the hardships of carrying in water — and hauling out sewage — and caring for her disabled husband and their three children.
The Cookes asked the jury for $2 million each to Ron and Jinjer Cooke. The jury exceeded that. Matura said Colorado City and Hildale have not decided whether to appeal.

"They say emo's coming back — and by they, we mean Stereogum, who is totally right, even if emo never really left. Into It. Over It. is one of 12 bands pegged by the indie site as leading the current wave of emo, and their track "No Amount of Sound" is definitely worthy of the praise.
The Chicago one-man band's latest single eschews rhythmic heat or hard-riffing power chords for some slo-mo '90s noise, mustering decaying electric guitar riffs and the heavy volume of feedback and open chords underneath Evan Weiss' bedroom-tender melody. It's not far from the sound of Translanticism-era Death Cab for Cutie or Pedro the Lion circa Control.
Watch Into It. Over It.'s "No Amount Of Sound" video after the jump.
The song's careful video fits the track's noisy build, capturing Weiss alone in a room, briefcase in hand. Where is he? The office? Nope: Soon we're diving through his memories, and it seems to be his childhood bedroom, empty and abandoned. He tries to fill up the room with furniture again, but it fills up on him instead — a visual metaphor too moving to spoil.
The video doesn't spell out why he's come back in the first place, but connect the dots and you'll see why dude's so bummed. We're not, though! Emo forever."
Minus me not being in the video, this is fun! Thanks mtv!

Do you ever feel incredibly blessed to have such wonderful friends in your life?
I am feeling it BIG time. These pals have been my BFF's for twenty years (along with a MUCH missed 4th BFF who couldn't make it last night). We all went to college together and once we were in the same city, started a "Dinner Club" (basically an excuse to go to a different restaurant each month).
We've been together through countless relationships, numerous jobs, 4 marriages, 7 kids, major dramas and minor calamities. But the trademark of the Dinner Club is laughter. We laugh every time we get together. Many times I am still laughing all the way home. Days later I'll think about something someone said and I start laughing.
There is something so sweet and comforting about friends who have known you for so long that they literally know you inside and out. Last night one of my dear friends gave me the most fabulous gift: a coloring book for grown-ups.
My Wonderful World of Fashion is something I've had my eye on but felt guilty buying it for myself. There are limitless opportunities for creativity inside. Thank you John, for the book and to John, Mindy, Ann and Amy for being my wonderful world of friends.

UPDATED: Wednesday, July 17 5:15 p.m.
It was our first chance to see, in person, some of the 170 dogs seized from a farm near Wheatland, North Dakota.
UPDATED: Monday, July 15
The 170 dogs taken from a rural Wheatland, North Dakota are making their recovery. The Casselton Veterinary Clinic is grooming and nursing the dogs back to health.
The dogs seized were small breeds such as Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, and mixed breeds. The dogs range in age from a few days old to more than ten years old. The veterinarians at Casselton Veterinary Clinic are optimistic most of the dogs will survive and be available for adoption.
Since the Casselton Vet took the dogs in, donations from across the valley have poured in to help. As of Monday at 4:00 p.m. more than $11,000 has been donated.
If you'd like to help donations can be made at any Bremer Bank. Make checks out to "Operation Cass County Rover Rescue in Care of Casselton Veterinary Clinic."
UPDATED: Friday, July 12, 5:50 p.m.
The Casselton Veterinary Clinic says it has more than 170 dogs seized from a Wheatland, North Dakota home and is treating them.
The dogs seized were small breeds such as Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, and mixed breeds. The dogs range in age from a few days old to more than 10-years-old. The Cass County Sheriff's Department says they were stacked in portable kennels as many as three high, with five or more dogs to a kennel. Some of the dogs were standing in five inches of waste.
The veterinarians at Casselton Veterinary Clinic are optimistic most of the dogs will survive and be available for adoption. First, they must go through a 14-day quarantine because of their living conditions, and because their records were poorly kept or didn't exist.
The dogs are being checked one-by-one. Many of them have poor dental health, need to be clipped and cleaned. The vets say 140 of the dogs need shaving. Some could hardly move because of all the hair.
"They are not in ideal condition," explains Trevor Bjerke with the Casselton Veterinary Clinic. "They are underweight, and most of them are underweight. The biggest concern that I have is their housing, and their, where they were kept. You can't keep a dog in five inches of stool."
The costs involved with the seizure and care for them continue to add up, especially the labor costs. Assistant State's Attorney Leah Viste says, "We know that one hour veterinary costs is $239, $279 per hour. We have medical costs, grooming costs. Grooming is fairly significant in this case. There's different vaccinations that these animals will need."
During the investigation, it was discovered at least four of the dogs are pregnant, so they could be dealing with more than 200 dogs by the end of this.
Because of the massive amount of animals, the clinic is in need of donations. If you'd like to help donations can be made at any Bremer Bank. Make checks out to "Operation Cass County Rover Rescue in Care of Casselton Veterinary Clinic."
The state veterinarian received an anonymous tip from a person who saw about 20 dogs that the person believed was being neglected. The deputy went to check it out, and said he was quote: "Shocked when he viewed the conditions."
The 51-year-old Wheatland man has not been arrested or charged. The state's attorney's office is currently gathering more evidence.
Based on state law, the man would face a Class A misdemeanor, which carries a year in jail and a $2,000 dollar fine. Technically, he could be charged a count for each dog.
The man does have the chance to get the dogs back, but he would need to file for that in court, and he would have to prove to a judge the dogs will have proper living conditions.
We spoke with the owner of the farm. It was her son, in his 50's, who owned the dogs. She said he was advertising and selling them as puppies. "But," the owner says, "When they are no longer little, they don't sell as well."
She says the dogs were good and not vicious, but the number continued to grow when the dogs got older and were not being sold.
The manager at Pets 'R' Inn Shaun Evanson, says they have bought dogs from the Wheatland man before. He tells us the dogs they've received have always been healthy and in good condition. Pets 'R' Inn is located inside West Acres Mall in Fargo.
She says the dogs did not roam. They were always fenced up. She also adds that her son kept up with vaccinations and kept them with plenty of water and food. "They were not abused," she says. She continues, "It got harder to keep them groomed when there gets to be so many."She did not want to go into further details about the dogs because they were her son's. They are mixed breeds. She says she was at home when the Cass County Sheriff's Office came to take the dogs. She says they were very nice about everything. "I'm not complaining about them," she says. She adds it was probably a good thing they took the dogs.
The farm location is about three miles northwest of Wheatland, ND.

Italy has waves and Sardinia has some of the best spots, places you would not believe. Leonardo Fioravanti knows that better than most...
From the Caribbean to Nova Scotia (and maybe even Europe) the forecast is for a medium sized swell to grace your local beach.
Like a lot of the waves in the edit, this one is a grower. Dusty Payne and Yadin Nicol make light work of things you'd sail on by.
Highlight of the day was the 17-year-old brother of local legend Manoa. He blew everyone away.
We break down the reasons why Edouard might be the most interesting storm of the season so far.
Next week we have great looking numbers for Trestles, the Wedge and elsewhere in Southern California.

By Vice-President/General Manager Debbie Bush
(WFIE) - Earlier this week, we took a stand supporting an Evansville smoking ban.
We have received a lot of feedback.
Joe Wallace agreed with our stand and says:
"As the smokers rationalize myths to feed their addictions, four members of the city council used these myths to justify irrational and irresponsible votes on Monday night."
The majority of those who contacted me disagreed.
Matt Gasner writes:
"Last I understood it, smoking was a right; it is not illegal to smoke in our country even though you socialists would love to take that right away from people. I am a non-smoker, but I don't support anyone taking rights away from people."
John Limp says:
"Cigarette smoke stinks. Government telling a business owner to ban smoking in his establishment stinks worse."
Debi Garland says:
"There are a lot of small neighborhood taverns that their main business is older citizens that come in, nurse a drink and smoke. These small neighborhood taverns won't survive."
William left a message, saying:
"I don't understand why you are taking a communist view of things. If you truly believe this, what would happen if they took away your freedom of speech and broadcasting?"
And finally, Tom Goodman, the owner of an Evansville bar wrote:
"(He) wants to personally thank the council members who voted correctly to deadlock this smoking ordinance. Now if they want to introduce a new amended ordinance with no exemptions, I would support that wholeheartedly!"
Here is a list of unedited emails that were sent in response:
I am one of the owner's of Fast Eddy's and was very glad to see that the amendment failed in City Council because it was a very bad law since it had exemptions for some. I think it is very hypocritical to say that the amendment was about the health of worker's and patron's in bars/nightclubs and restaurant's. So are they not concerned with the health of the patron's and worker's at Aztar and all the other exempt businesses???? That to me is just plain WRONG!!!!
I would support a ban with NO EXEMPTIONS. Louisville KY tried the same thing with an exemption for Churchill Downs and passed it, but the bar and restaurant owners filed a lawsuit over it and the judge ruled in their favor, and the law was overturned! They quickly amended it to a NO EXEMPTIONS law and it passed! I could see that happening in Evansville if they passed that smoking ordinance with exemptions, and I for one would be pushing for a lawsuit to change it if they did!
I want to personally thank the Council members who voted correctly to deadlock this smoking ordinance.
Missy Mosby, John Friend, B J Watts and Don Walker, Thank you for doing the right thing! Now if they want to introduce a new amended ordinance with NO exemptions, I would support that wholeheartedly!
Councilman John Friend, you hit it on the nose my friend when you said it was a bad amendment and a very hypocritical one at that!
Tom Goodman
Ms. Bush,
I spoke the other night in support of Dr. Adams amendment and I tried to raise some issues that are different from the compelling health issue. What I would like to emphasize is that every member of the City Council acknowledges that second hand smoke a health hazard. They know it and they have said so. Their job is to do what is right for the City of Evansville. I bought up the fact that having knowledge and failing to act has exposed municipalities to lawsuits for negligence. The vote the other night while a tie constitutes willful failure to act. If someone who is working in a smoking atmosphere who is a non smoker contacts a smoke related illness, both the employer and the City of Evansville will be named as respondents in any civil suit that may be filed. Failure to act is just as serious as intentionally disregarding the recommendation of a traffic engineer after accidents have occurred at a particular intersection. Can you imagine what the courts would do if there were preventable deaths because a City official with both power and authority ignored a safety recommendation? Failing to pass this amendment is the exact same thing. They are not doing their duty as stewards of the City. Quite frankly, they willfully refused to do their duty.
Failing to ban smoking has also been found to violate the Americans with Disabilities Act. Asthma is a disability. Enabling businesses to allow smoking by deliberate indifference violates the rights of people with asthma just as much as refusal to accommodate wheelchairs does for people who can't walk. This has also been upheld.
The other thing that bothers me is that with eight democrats on the City Council, this should have passed unanimously. How can one support a nationalization of healthcare and not support a resolution that has been proven to improve public health? This is a conflicted position. We support taxing our citizens to pay for healthcare but repudiate an opportunity to pass an amendment to improve public health. Excuse me, but isn't our council enabling people to deplete the public coffers with this decision?
The council can talk about rights but that doesn't hold up either. Smoking bans have been challenged on constitutional grounds many times and have never prevailed. The right to smoke is a rationalized myth created by smokers to continue feeding their addictions. As the smokers rationalize myths to feed their addictions, four members of the City Council used these myths to justify irrational and irresponsible votes on Monday night.
The final mystery to me is where does the Mayor of the City of Evansville stand on this. The Council has their Wards to listen to, but the Mayor is the officer that is supposed to tie things together, think them through and find a way to lead Evansville down the right path to a prosperous future. Thus far, he has been silent on Dr. Adams' amendment. The responsibility that comes from holding an office of leadership should mandate that the Mayor make his views known and that he have a rational reason for what they are. The Council has spoken with their votes and the Mayor has an opportunity to lead. I hope he chooses to do so.
Joe Wallace
Have you been paying attention to how the people are turning on public servants who support a socialist agenda and politicians who want to take rights away from people? Last I understood it, smoking was a right, it is not illegal to smoke in our country even though you socialist would love to take that right away from people. I am a non-smoker, but I don't support anyone taking rights away from people. The businesses have the right to make there places of business smoke free. No one is saying they have to keep there establishment smoker friendly. The people who choose to work in these places know that they might possibly be around smoke just like the coal miners know they will be around coal dust and working in a dangerous environment. They know the risk when they start the job. I support the freedom of the businesses to make up their own minds and for patrons to make the decision of what establishment they want to frequent. Until smoking is illegal then this should be every true Americans stance. That is the great thing about free market environment. If no one patronizes smoking facilities then they will have to change or shut down. It is a miracle how free market works that way. If you socialist just realize that we would all be better off.
If nothing else you should learn from how Fox news is killing the other networks in the ratings. That is because Americans don't like the socialist agenda you and your progressives are trying to implement on America. If you keep your progressive opinions to yourself and report on and applaud people doing good things that everyone supports and likes then your will probably keep your viewers, but if you keep up your progressive views then I and many others will quit watching your news cast. I have been a loyal viewer of wfie all of my life. I am about stop watching your channel if you keep following the mother networks socialist, progressivism stance.
Matt L. Gantner
Smoking tobacco cigarettes and cigars is still legal in the US of A. Whether or not I indulge is a personal decision. Cigarette smoke stinks. Government telling a business owner (taxpayer) to ban smoking in his establishment stinks worse.
John Limp
"Other cities like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago have already taken that stand and while there were protests at first, it is now accepted."
So we should follow? If it is so horrible then move there. Pay their great tax rates and look over your shoulder constantly when you take a walk not knowing when or if you are going to raped, mugged, or murdered. Now this is just my small minded Midwestern mentality speaking... "If you don't like it don't do it!" tah dah!!! If the law forced the buisness to let smokers smoke indoors I could understand this but it was the buisness's choice. If I have a problem with an establishment I take my money elsewhere. Maybe I don't understand. I guess i need to be sheltered and protected. Maybe we should have a helmet law for people in cars they are dangerous too. By the way I'm a nonsmoker, thanks but no thanks for protecting me.
Scott Gist
I heard your editorial on the smoking ban, and disagree with you totally.
I think it is NOT a elected officials job to decide what happens in the day to day lives of the people they represent. It will put people out of work, and make small business' spend more to make things happen.
Why dont they next decide to make illegal to drink, as they have tried to do with smoking. They have raised the price of tobacco to the point of almost not being able to afford them anyway, and taxed them more and more. But they never say anything about taxing alcohol of which most politicians use for their social hours, and meetings and parties. They never tax the things that most people use. Therefore, dont be so fast to do an editorial on this subject. Then on top of all this, to exempt certain establisments that bring in the most revenue for the politicians, such as Aztar, and Elks, etc... which most of the dirty political establishment belong to for prestige purposes as thats where the money lies, and thats where they look for campaign funds.
I'm sure this will eventually pass, as a few will force it on the masses.
If this happens, then places that now allow smoking should provide a sheltered place for smokers to use for this purpose.., rather than just going out in all kinds of weather for a cigarette.
I dont smoke but this is just another law that the government should keep their noses out of. There are plenty of things they could do to make their jobs effective, for the pay they are getting from the people they are stepping on.
Its time to stop this non-sense, and get on with politicing.......
Jim Westerman
I believe the bars should have the right to determine if they want to allow smoking in their establishments. If it bothers you that a bar allows smoking, DON'T GO IN THE BAR. It's that simple
What is next: alcohol, sugar, salt, etc.
Dale & Virginia Alldredge
ALL bars and taverns should be exempt from this bill. They can post on their doors if they are a smoking establishment or not. Children and anyone under 21 are not allowed in these places.
There are a lot of those businesses that could be forced to close because of this bill. There are a lot of small neighborhood taverns that their main business is older citizens that come in, nurse a drink and smoke. These small town like neighborhood taverns won't survive. Years ago I used to work for one of these. If people would have had to go outside to smoke back then, they would have stayed outside or went home. That wouldn't have done much for business.
What happened to our rights as Americans? We can't get a healthcare bill passed but we can dictate who can do what? I'm not talking about doing anything illegal. Smoking is a right, as non smoking is a right. Let the businesses decide what business they want to have. If they want to be non smoking than so be it. If they want to continue to let their patrons smoke, then they should have that right.
Thank you

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Big Easy 6 Tent:
Bought this to replace an old backpacking tent which was too small for our family. Three weeks in Tetons and Yellowstone gave it a real test: driving rain and wind in the Tetons and a few downpours in Yellowstone. The tent was very impressive in the Tetons wind storm when we received near-50 MPH gusts in a campground. Too loud to sleep but we made it through the night. We also endured some very heavy all-night downpours and this tent was tight as could be--absolutely no leakage. For car camping I want simple set-up, ample room, and absolute weatherproofing. This tent passed with flying colors. And it was at least $100 less than comparable REI tents. This is a great buy. Big and heavy, not a lot of privacy with the fly off, but it's first-rate for its purpose.

April: Art To Inspiration
Hahahhaa! I didn't see the connection, until you did the picture link there! It'd remind me of mexican food too, with all those colours! :D
I know, right??
Oh, I totally love it! I never would have made a connection like that, but it seems so clear to me now. =)
The original piece and your photo are both gorgeous.
Oh Clair! You're such a doll!
Beautiful! That's why I love Art to Inspiration :) I would have never thought of that, but I LOVE the idea!
lovely inspiration -- that food looks so good :) & I love me some Mexican food!!!
Ugh, as soon as I scrolled down to that picture my stomach started to growl. It looks soooo good! I love the graphic you made to go with it!
oh my gosh you got it right on! as giada de laurentiis always says, "you eat w. your eyes first!" major eye candy!!
Well that just looks incredibly delicious! I did not think of food initially, but paired with your yummy pic of Mexican food it's perfect. Good call! I really didn't think Art to Inspiration would make me hungry... but you proved me wrong! So glad you had a fun trip to San Diego {and glad you ate some awesome food, too).
I looove it!!! Of course, it doesn't help that I am super hungry. Such a creative, yummy interpretation. Mexicali it is tonight.
Thanks for posting this as I am JUST allowed to get on solid foods again. #starving
God, I love Mexican food. Now I want some!
I love how your brain works!

Week 5 is here. Pretty crazy to think these are the last midterms I will ever take at SWOCC. I'm starting to already feel the end of the term coming. Over the span of the past 2 years I have met some of my best friends, best coaches, and learned more about myself. Life is great.
This weekend was awesome. I don't know why, but the weather seems to get beautiful on the weekends and crappy during the week days. My bro came up with his girlfriend and we all enjoyed a day at the beach saturday. We came back to campus and got a good sized group of people together and played several hours of beach volleyball both saturday night and twice on sunday. It was definitely a great weekend. To finish things off, my roommates and me redboxed the new mission impossible last night. We started it super late so we all kinda passed out watching it. Well, I was drinking a vitamin water when I fell asleep and one of them woke me up and I was still biting it. Thought that was pretty ridiculous, how does that even happen? Anyhow, I hope you all have a great week 5 and do well on your midterms!

It was never quite clear what feminizing the workplace would mean when women en masse invaded corporate America a generation ago.
Most of us donned our Mao suits, bow ties and sensible shoes and did our best to blend in. The workplace didnÆt become more feminine; women became more masculine.
Then along came ōSex and the City.ö The new working girl was glam, femmed-out to the max in sheer tops, short skirts and stilettos. She was brash, tough (neurotic), and above all sexy. Where the previous generation of women had tried to camouflage their sexuality, the new generation flaunted every inch .
Much, and little, has changed over the decades.
Women are exceeding their male counterparts in education. One in four earns more than her husband. The office may not have a fern bar, but thereÆs likely to be a private space for breast pumping. Our fight for on-site child care has given way to a tsunami of third-world nannies.
To the point: Women are reaching equality as never before. Certainly many struggle to keep food on the table. But in the salons where luckier women discuss what women really want, they are reaching the traditional benchmarks of happiness -- money and power -- and guess what: TheyÆre still not happy.
Before you roll your eyes and wake up poor, old tired Dr. Freud, listen up. Women arenÆt happy precisely because they tried to fit themselves neatly into the male template of what constitutes happiness. And, voila -- please do sound the gongs -- men and women are different.
Of course women want wealth and power, but not at the expense of the things that matter most -- equilibrium, inner peace, wisdom, heart, and a family that isnÆt in constant chaos. These intangibles are largely ignored, alas, because the male-created workplace views them as froufrou ōwomenÆsö concerns.
WhatÆs love got to do with the bottom line?
Everything, really. Research, which we prefer to common sense, supports that happy, well-adjusted, less-stressed-out people make more productive and efficient workers. Men also, by the way, because it turns out, men are human, too.
Those brilliant seers ōTheyö always said that money doesnÆt buy happiness. And though being rich and unhappy beats poor and unhappy every time, ōTheyö were right. Women, who now constitute a critical mass in the workplace, have learned through exhaustion, divorce and disappointed children that trying to fit their lives into the male mold of success was like trying to squeeze into CinderellaÆs shoe.
Two women who know something about power, money, success, and shoes (thereÆs no point trying to talk about women as though shoes donÆt matter) recognized this soul-void in womenÆs lives and did what women do. The indefatigable Arianna Huffington and Mika Brzezinski convened a conference -- ōThe Third Metricö -- to address that missing thing in our lives.
Page 2 of 2 - Huffington described it as that inner place of heart, soul and wisdom where few of us spend much time. WeÆre too busy. Creating space for quietude -- unplugged rather than unhinged -- requires strategic planning. This isnÆt space for moon-gazing, but for the fallow time that engenders calm, which often precedes the storm of innovation and creativity.
Where do your best ideas come from? The chorus was instantaneous: ōThe shower.ö Away from it all.
Between panel discussions, we practiced being quiet. We breathed. (I know, you had to be there.) We closed our eyes. We really did gong the gong. We opened our arms and said ōwow.ö Really. We ate healthy food, drank juice served by delicious men (not kidding), got hand massages, and listened to a parade of accomplished women (and a smattering of men) talk about health, wellness, and ōtweakingö our lives. We heard from Candice Bergen, Katie Couric, Jill Abramson, Valerie Jarrett and Sen. Claire McCaskill, as well as comedians, writers, filmmakers and dozens of others whose work is helping mold a future generation that will be healthier and happier if not wealthier.
There will be dissenters. Urging people to be go-givers instead of go-getters, easier to do when you are already a millionaire, may not appeal to the board of directors. And I confess, when John Mackey, co-founder of Whole Foods, spoke of promoting people who are emotionally evolved over the merely ambitious, I didnÆt know whether to assume a lotus or a fetal position.
But all things considered, a culture in which meaning is recognized as a goal equal to profit cannot make a worse world. Besides, when Mama is happy, everybody is happy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Several companies in Middle Tennessee are arguing that a lawsuit against the federal government seeking damages for historic flooding in 2010 should be allowed to proceed.
The Tennessean reports motions were filed this month, and a federal judge has set a Jan. 13 hearing on the issue.
The case involves two lawsuits filed by companies that include Gibson Guitar, Nissan North America and Ryman Hospitality Properties that accuse the National Weather Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of negligence. The companies contend that they suffered $353.5 million in property damage that could have been averted or minimized.
The government has asked that the lawsuits be dismissed because it has sovereign immunity.
The flooding left 26 people dead and caused an estimated $2 billion worth of damage.

Kelly Parker's house is on the auction block, so she has made it an eyesore in the hopes of making it very unattractive to potential buyers. Since we first brought you her story, there has been an outpouring of support for the sick mom.
Parker is facing cancer with a sense of humor, choosing to shave her head instead of losing her hair to the disease.
"It was going to fall out anyway. I just beat it to the punch," she explained.
We first told you about the mother of two and her fight to save her tidy home on Detroit's west side on September 11.
Her home went into foreclosure, then up for auction when she could no longer afford it.
When she learned she had cancer, she got desperate. Wanting to save her home for her kids, she took a can of spray paint to it and went public with her problems.
The response has been overwhelming. Recent fundraisers raised over $1,700.
"It's used to keep my home and security for my kids," Parker said.
We asked Lisa Parker whether she thinks her sister will be able to keep her house?
"She's a fighter," she replied. "I do."
Kelly Parker, with the help of her sister, has been turning to Facebook for strength. Prayers have been coming in from across the country.
"There (are) going to be times when she feels like... I don't know if I can do this today, but those little words and those little prayers and everything that's coming in, it gives her more motivation and encourages her a little bit more," Lisa Parker said.
Providence confirmed for Fox 2 that Kelly Parker is an oncology patient at the hospital.
Senator Hansen Clarke's office has also reached out to help try to find a way for her to keep her home, a home that may look like an eyesore on the outside, but it's an eyesore neighbors are willing to put up with.
"I wish I could help," said neighbor Elbertha Deshields. "If I could help her, I would do all I (could) for her."
"The whole block is coming together trying to help her," she added.
Parker has started her radiation treatment. She has a long road ahead of her, but said the prayers from strangers are helping her deal with these difficult days.
