Maggie Waller was my first graphic design friend. Truly. After stalking anyone taking the major at Iowa on the early version of facebook, I found Maggie and for some reason she accepted my stranger-friend request. Hah. Thanks for your leap of faith lady! Besides a few short months working in the same studio in Iowa City, our friendship has been mostly of the digital variety. Maggie and I have most recently bonded over our passions for hand-lettering, freelancing, and blogging. She just launched her new studio, type & title, and I'm so proud of all the lovely that she's been able to accomplish in these past few months. Get it girl!
Hello! I'm Maggie Waller. I live in San Diego, where I do freelance design and lettering under the name type & title. I started working from home a few months ago when my husband and I moved to California from Texas for his job in the Navy. I've loved words in every form for my entire life, so it only made sense to dedicate my business to the design of type, lettering and communication!
What gets you jazzed?
Sharpened pencils, long train rides, a well-designed magazine, a neutral color palette, the ocean, a good postcard, home-brewed beer, knitting, and public art… lately, I'm especially inspired by a well-curated site, blog, store or space. I love finding & meeting people who know their aesthetic and wear (or design) it well.
Where do you go to find inspiration, and what are you inspired by?
My go-to trick for inspiration is to get out of the house! On a daily basis, that usually means taking my pups for a walk. They're thrilled to get a mid-day break and it clears my head. I almost always come back with a new idea or approach to a project. Working from home is an entirely new experience for me. I'm learning that I really need regular breaks and interaction to get out of my own head — sometimes that's a dog walk, meeting a friend for coffee, or even a break to check Instagram… connecting with other creative people can really inspire me to create something myself!
Tell me a little about this project and how it was inspired:
These sketches are the initial ideas for my hand-lettered ampersand tote bag. I've wanted an ampersand tote for I don't know how long, and eventually my DIY instinct kicked in and I decided it was time to design one myself. I tend to be ridiculously picky about typography (which is partially why I've gotten into lettering) so I knew I was going to end up with a hand-drawn letterform.
How has blogging effected your creative life, and vice versa?
Blogging and I have had an on-and-off relationship since high school (hello, livejournal) and I keep coming back to it, which is something I've never been able to do with a journal. I think putting your thoughts and work online where there's a potential audience can keep you making work. Blogging makes me feel like I'm contributing to a community — even if only one person sees my post, that's one person I've connected with. Connection fuels creativity!
If you could give one tip to the rest of us, what would that be?
Do it anyway. I'm still brand new to working-for-myself, but it took me a really, really long time to even begin following my career dreams — I stalled for years because I was scared to act. It seems so crazy now! It's easy to want to quit, or not even begin, when you have no forward momentum, but you can't get that unless you actually do something. "I can't do this but I'm doing it anyway" is one of my favorite quotes ever. We've all been there! Just do it anyway.
Thanks again Maggie! Be sure to follow along on Maggie's journey over at type & title, she's sure to keep doing some pretty great things. Maggie has been kind enough to send along a tote to one lucky reader! Follow below to enter the giveaway. AND, if you can't wait for your chance to win, you can get your own here.

Events planned to mark Climate Week
3:43pm Friday 21st February 2014 in News
ENVIRONMENTAL groups in Herefordshire are getting together to mark Climate Week.
From Monday to Sunday, March 3-9, they will be staging events throughout the county and members of the public will be invited to write their views and feelings on these issues in a 'climate conversation' book during a week-long display in All Saints Church, High Street, Hereford.
The book will later be presented to the county's MPs and Herefordshire Council.
Concern Universal is organising an all day event on climate change for schools and a public event with guest speakers on Tuesday, March 4 in St Johns Church Hall, St Owen Street, Hereford, and films on environmental issues will be shown in county venues.
The week will culminate with a climate change march through Hereford, starting from Hereford Leisure Pool, St Martin's Avenue, at 11.30am and finishing in High Town with music and speakers.

If you knew anything about the recent INDEPENDENT advice given to politicians by various experts you'd know the growing concensus in the NON-Cl. Ch. scientific fields is that the whole thing is a POLITICAL PLOY and garbage 'science'... From top M.I.T. professors to roenouned investagative journalism...
You've been fed a global socialist BS money scam, for their Champagne Elite... Utterly destroyed markets, jobs, lives... TRY STUPID INDOCTRINATING, INDOCTRINATING GREENIES for TREASON against us..

Flooding farmland is an ECO-CATASTROPHE... New clay, sand & gravel pits can be linked in with the whole flood & DROUGHT prevention scheme, Water Retainers... Mostly paid for by Insurers, Water Firms & Resource Extraction Firms and (Fish!) Farmers...
The end result of nice Lakes, larger waterways and extra trees will offset the trauma of digging up small sections of the countryside...

The long rumored transfer of Tim Ream to Premier League side Bolton is now complete, as the former New York Red Bulls center back passed his physical and agreed to personal terms on Thursday. Financial terms of the deal were not formally announced, but previous reports have pegged the transfer fee at anywhere between $2.5 million and $3.5 million. The contract Ream signed is reportedly for 3.5 years and will pay him £20,000 pounds per week, a significant raise over the roughly $65,000 a year he was making in MLS.
"We are extremely happy for Tim," Red Bulls general manager Erik Soler said in a team release. "He has worked very hard since he joined Major League Soccer and became a Red Bull and we firmly believe that this opportunity will be beneficial to him and the Red Bulls. This was a difficult decision for us as a club, but at the end of the day, we could not turn down this opportunity to help Tim's development as a player."
The transfer is the most valuable for a defensive player in MLS history and could be just one of several moves involving MLS players heading to England this offseason. Robbie Rodgers has already joined Leeds United, George John is currently on loan at West Ham and Sebastien Le Toux is on trial at Bolton.
In Ream, Bolton saw a ready replacement for the recently departed Gary Cahill. Manager Owen Coyle has indicated he expects Ream to compete for a starting spot in the relatively near future and while Ream won't be particularly highly paid among fellow Premiership centerbacks, a team like Bolton doesn't spend that kind of money just to fill out the roster.
As a player acquired through the SuperDraft with two years of experience, the Red Bulls will receive half of that transfer fee, $650,000 of which can be spent in to the form of allocation money. Considering they still have an open Designated Player spot, the Red Bulls suddenly have a lot of flexibility to fill what are looking to be some significant roster holes.
For more on this move, be sure to check out Bolton blog Lion of Vienna Suite and Red Bulls blog Once a Metro.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- It might be the first time a separated couple got back together thanks to their great-great-great granddaughter.
The smiling young couple is Benjamin and Maria (mar-EYE'-ah) Gratz, or more accurately their portraits, which were painted in 1831 by famous portrait artist Thomas Sully but somehow became separated an unknown number of years ago.
The great-great-great granddaughter is Maria (mar-EYE'-ah) Gratz Roberts of Atlanta, who spotted a blog post about how Benjamin's portrait was hanging at the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia but missing its mate.
Turned out it was hanging in her house.
She donated the portrait to the museum and Benjamin and Maria Gratz were reunited just before Valentine's Day.

Archive for the 'Afghanistan' tag
Not for nothing, there's probably nobody else on earth tougher than folks from Afghanistan. They're putting up with a total U.S. onslaught, a Taliban onslaught and God knows what else, without giving up at all. What exactly does that mean, who knows, but I sense they're some tough motherfuckers. I found this image online a couple of days ago thanks to something the homie Peter Dean Rickards tweeted out and have been fascinated by it ever since.
Today, while still compelled by this photograph, I went on Soundcloud and wondered if there are any Afghani's with Soundcloud accounts. It's the concept that even amidst death, war and carnage, there's still time to make music and dance. I didn't find any DJs in Kabul with Soundclouds, but I did discover a solid mix from a cat named DJ Wise that's worth a listen. Ever wondered what Afghan music is like? Probably not, but dig deep and find out below. That is if you're a real music head.

RUMFORD, ME (WGME/CNN) - Severe thunderstorms rolled through western Maine on Wednesday.
The torrential downpours caused flash flooding and washed out several roads.
"The winds came in pretty hard and the rain was going in every direction," Gordon Phillips said. "Lightning was hitting one right after the other. It was just steady, and the thunder was right there too. It was pretty intense."
The storms knocked out electricity to thousands of residents. Some have been told they'll be without power for a week.

UCLA and USC renew their rivalry on Saturday. The Trojans have had a major advantage for more than a decade, but if the Bruins make the right moves they have a good chance at turning the tide in...
A few quick pregame thoughts from both UCLA and USC, as well as a sign from ESPN's College Gameday Saturday morning in Eugene.
This is the fifth game of the year for the Trojans on Fox with Gus Johnson on the call.
Thoughts on the crosstown rivalry between the Trojans and Bruins that dates back to 1929.
The recent history between the UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans is a nearly uninterrupted string of Trojan wins. Most experts pick USC to continue things as usual on Saturday, but most see a close...
Saturday features the top two teams in each Pac-12 division facing off at the location of the division leader, with UCLA hosting USC and Oregon hosting Stanford.
Some numbers to watch on Saturday for Marqise Lee, Johnathan Franklin, the USC Trojans, and UCLA Bruins as they battle for the Victory Bell at the Rose Bowl.
Though USC and UCLA are not exactly playing for the Rose Bowl (but rather the right to play for the Rose Bowl), Saturday's game is their most meaningful matchup for both teams in 19 seasons.
The USC Trojans and the UCLA Bruins battle for the Pac-12 South title on Saturday as they square off in the Rose Bowl.
Saturday's game between the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins is expected to be a high-scoring affair, with an over/under at 66 points, according to the oddsmakers at OddsShark.com.

The 0-2 record doesn't mean much....but Wizards fans can't exactly be pleased with the "veteran" qualities that Nick Young has brought to the table in Vegas this year. We all expect him to show more experience in the summer league. Dominic McGuire had a much better game two, I continue to be impressed by Andray Blatche, and JaVale McGee has some TUP. But one cannot help but be a tad concerned about the Wizards guard situation with the aforementioned Young expected to play a bigger role as a result of the departure of Roger Mason, and Dee Brown not yet showing himself worthy of the 3rd PG spot.
A couple videos to check out.....don't show much. Interesting comments from SportzWiz, one of the site moderators/bloggers: Lot of learning going on and trying to understand what the coaches wanted in drills. Dominic, Nick, Dray and Dee seemed to take over the leadership roles. Pech was icing down an ankle and we'll have more on that as we get it. Veeremenko should arrive tonight and be ready to go tomorrow. Dee Brown first impression - Very humble human being who is very VERY excited to be here. Went to Turkey to work on his game and he's very excited about the opportunity. Dominic - Talked about working on his mid-range jumper ths off-season and ball-handling. Also dropped 10 lbs is down to 225 he's trying to be quicker so he can as he says "Be that lock down defender for this team." Nick - Working on his defense and his understanding of the offense. His jumper is just so pure. Andray - Is calling himself the Antawn of the team (with Dom being "Caron" and Nick obviously being "Gil"), but he's trying to push everyone.

Remember Me
As I reflect upon the last year, I have to say I am very fortunate.I and my husband are healthy, happy and still enjoying each other's company.My mother is doing great and my son continues his journey of self-discovery in a very controlled environment.What's next?Drum roll, please here it is that time again. The pressure's on. Time to make a New Year's resolution.The top 10 most common New Year's resolutions are:
1. Lose weight2. Stop smoking3. Stick to a budget4. Save or earn more money5. Find a better job6. Become more organized7. Exercise more8. Be more patient at work/with others9. Eat better10. Become a better personThis sounds like what we try to do just about every day in our normal lives. So, why is it so hard to keep them? Getting fit and healthy is the most common resolution. Every January people resolve that this will be the year they get back into shape and sign up at a gym. But a month or two later that resolve slips away.Statistics indicate that two-thirds of Americans will break their New Year resolutions by Valentine's Day. The main reason is that many people set goals that don't work with their lifestyles, are too challenging or not based on something they really enjoy.Who comes home from a hard day's work and thinks, "Boy, a nice salad would be great!?"I personally am thinking about drowning my troubles in ice cream or munching through the blues on cookies. Comfort foods — the downfall of every one of my diets. Broccoli just doesn't have the same effect as a nice pile of fluffy mashed potatoes and creamy gravy. I don't get that aaahhh feeling from crunching my way through celery, either. I won't even go there with the "quit smoking" one. I have tried everything and will power alone is just not enough for me. I want to sit down and smoke one while I'm thinking about quitting.Sticking to a budget and making and/or saving more money seem to go hand-in-hand. The budget looks a lot better when there is more to work with. Who doesn't want more money? Organization is in the eye of the beholder. My mother used to have a sign on her desk at Marathon that read "Don't touch my desk, I know where everything is!" Same seems to apply here. Every time I clean off my desk, I can't find what I want.So, what is my New Year's resolution? I told my co-workers it was to stop doing something at work. One piped in, "Hey, you don't do that here. You can't make a resolution to stop doing something you don't do."Rats. Foiled again. At least doing it my way I would be guaranteed to succeed.Well, here's my New Year's resolution again for another year:Not to make one. That way, I can't fail. If I work on a few things on the top 10 list throughout the year, I'll be much better off than making a single decree and failing, like two-thirds of the rest of America.Happy New Year!

VCU President Michael Rao called six robbery-related incidents Monday night "absolutely unacceptable."
"Safety is, and always will be, a top priority at Virginia Commonwealth University," said President Rao at a press conference Tuesday morning. "I am deeply concerned about the six robbery-related crimes that happened on, or in the vicinity of, the campus last night."
VCU police say a university employee was robbed at gunpoint on campus at 913 W. Franklin St. They believe that incident to be isolated. However, another armed robbery and four other attempted robberies near campus may be related, according to police.
The armed robbery near campus occurred at Laurel and Cary streets and is being investigated by Richmond Police. In all, four students and one non-student/visitor were robbed near campus in just a matter of hours late Monday.
Later in the day VCU Police chief John Venuti and President Rao met with the Richmond Police Department Deputy Chief Eric English. President Rao met with Mayor Dwight Jones as well. According to a police press release, the group discussed strategies to fight the crime, ways to collaborate further and deployment of additional resources.
Many VCU students tell NBC12 that they stayed inside Monday night.
"One happened fairly close to my apartment, so I had to spend the rest of the night indoors," says Nick Delia, a VCU junior.
"It's just dangerous, because the school is a safe area but the area around it is not as much," says Brandon Adams, a VCU Sophomore.
"I am deeply concerned about the six robbery related crimes that happened on or in the vicinity of the campus last night. It's absolutely unacceptable," Dr. Rao said.
Several text alerts went out.
"I got a little shocked, because we never gotten that many texts in one day," says Nelly Rodriguez, a VCU sophomore.
Now police say the overall crime rate is down and all their resources are going towards stopping robberies. According to VCU's annual crime report, there were 25 reported robberies around the Monroe and MCV campus last year. School leaders say collaboration between both police departments is key.
"We are going to continue to work with Richmond Police with ideas and creative strategies to really deter people from coming down to VCU and victimizing our students, faculty and staff," says Chief John Venuti with the VCU Police Department.
Chief Venuti says that in Monday's attempted robberies, the victims didn't have anything to take but the crime is still deeply disturbing.
In order to fight back, the university community needs to work together.
"We need everyone's help particularly in describing what they see and if they have a slight sense in something is wrong, talk about it, report it to police," says Dr. Rao.
Police say the robber was wearing pajama pants with chili peppers on it.

• Manolo Blahnik has teamed up with Ghanaian-born designer Mimi Plange to design two pairs of shoes for her Spring 2012 collection. The shoes, said to be inspired by the leather and bead work found in parts of Africa, will be unveiled September 7 at her presentation during New York Fashion Week.
We'll let you know when the shoes are available! I don't know about you guys, but I I'm already in love and can't wait to see the second pair! What do you think, are you feelin' the shoes? (WWD)

Track & field has an eye towards the future with 2011 signing class
A talented and diverse group of eight new student-athletes is set to help the JU track & field team with its championship tradition.
The coaching staff worked to replace the most accomplished senior class in program history. In all, the graduating class accounted for 46 individual conference championships, 84 all-conference performances and never lost an A-Sun team track and field championship.
Head coach Ron Grigg knows that the 2011 signing class can fill the shoes left by the 2011 seniors and help the Dolphins sooner, rather than later.
"Coaches Bambi Carson and Natasha Harvey did an excellent job of identifying and communicating with many talented prospective student-athletes, their families and their coaches," said Grigg, whose program wrapped up its sixth straight A-Sun title sweep in 2011. "For a program to improve you must replace talent with talent. We knew we were graduating an excellent group, so we knew we need to bring in an excellent group."
"We do not place any limits on ourselves when identifying potential student-athletes. Of course, we begin looking close to home and within Jacksonville, and then within the state of Florida. We also search regionally, then nationally and finally internationally. We are looking for student-athletes who identify with the culture of Jacksonville University and the culture of our track and field team. We are looking for excellence while attempting to maintain a balanced program that can compete in all event areas. I think we have found the right group to help us continue our steady improvement."
The 2011 signing class comes from both near and far while also representing each event area. The group joining the Dolphins for next season will be Sarah Bailey (Vernon, British Columbia, distance), Shadaey Campbell (Orlando, Fla., sprints), Sally Marie Futch (Statesboro, Ga., throws), Petra Munkacsy (Budapest Hungary, hurdles/combined event), LaToya Payne (Mabbleton, Ga., sprints/hurdles), Alexis Taylor (Sanford, Fla., hurdles), Courtney Walker (Jacksonville, Fla., sprints) and Shanique Walker (San Jose, Calif., hurdles/jumps).
Bailey will help the distance and middle distance groups immediately after posting a personal best time of 2:13.83 in the 800-meter and 4:38.99 in the 1500-meter while running in Canada.
"Sarah should impact our top five in cross country and will have a chance to develop within our excellent middle-distance group," said Grigg. "Her high school marks will make her very competitive within the conference and she will have a chance to impact a strong distance medley relay indoors. She will also study within our honors program at JU."
Campbell tallied a personal best time of 11.91 in the 100-meter and a 55.39 in the 400-meter while attending Olympia High School Orlando, Fla.
"Shadaey has the range to run well in every sprint event and every relay we put on the track," said Grigg. "I look forward to finding out where her talents lie as we decide if the short sprints or the long sprints will be her ultimate focus."
Futch, who attended Bulloch Academy in Statesboro, Ga., ranked as high as 10th nationally in the hammer toss and 15th in the weight throw. She has earned all-region and all-state honors during her first three seasons as well as three state titles in the discus and one in the shot put. Futch has boasted a personal best of 132'8" in the discus, 155'2" in the hammer and a 48'4.5" in the weight throw.
"Sally-Marie has the ability to throw every implement well," said Grigg. "She has the advantage of having both weight and hammer throw experience in high school. That will help make the learning curve less steep for her."
Munkacsy is the 2011 Hungarian National Champion in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.56 and has also posted a personal best of 13.85 in the 100-meter hurdles. She comes from an accomplished athletic family as her father, Sándor, competed in the Decathlon in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and her mother, Bálint Zita set the Hungarian national triple jump record while competing in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
"We've never signed a hurdler out of high school with indoor and outdoor personal bests as fast as Petra," Grigg said. "She will add to an already talented and deep hurdle group while beginning to experiment with the pentathlon and heptathlon. Both of her parents were Olympians and I am honored to see if we can help her advance to that level as well."
Payne, a transfer from Fort Valley State, has personal best times of 56.38 in the 400-meter and 2:12.59 in the 800-meter. She tallied a season-best time of 59.90 in the 400-meter hurdles on May 14 at the Alicia Coleman Invitational, which ranked as the seventh-best mark nationally entering the NCAA Division II National Championship meet.
"LaTonya has been a national level competitor at Division II, and she wants to be a national level competitor at Division I," said Grigg. "Her versatility will make her valuable on our 4x4s and she can be called upon to run anything from the 100-meter hurdles to cross country if necessary. I love her passion for training and racing."
Taylor ran a 300-meter hurdle time of 43.37 for Lake Mary High School at the FSU Relay which ranked 18th nationally and third in Florida.
"Alexis will focus on the long hurdles, but I have seen her sprint and I know she has the talent to make our 4x1 and 4x4 relays very strong," commented Grigg. "She has tremendous upside in a variety of sprint and hurdle events."
Courtney Walker, a Jacksonville native, has a personal best times of 11.86 in the 100-meter and posted a 24.34 in the 200-meter.
"Courtney has so much room to improve from a technical standpoint," said Grigg. "While her high school times are excellent, I look forward to helping her unlock her true potential. We are always proud when a Jacksonville native chooses to attend Jacksonville University."
The West Coast native Shanique Walker concludes this class on one of the highest notes after winning the triple Jump at the US Junior Track & Field Championships with a leap of 40'11.75" on June 25. She is also listed as the No. 4 long jumper and No. 6 triple jumper in the nation by Track & Field News. Her personal best are 20' 0" in the long jump, 41' 6" in the triple jump, 14.11 in the 100-meter hurdles and 43.60 in the 300-meter hurdles.
"There is nothing Shanique can't do," said Grigg. "She has been successful in both horizontal jumps and both hurdle events. While the triple jump will be her focus, she will certainly impact our program in a variety of events."
"On paper this is a truly outstanding class," said Grigg. "Coach Carson and Coach Harvey should be commended for their work. Now our job is to take the potential for excellence and turn it into actual excellence. That will require a partnership of hard work from both coach and athlete. Only time will tell how good this group will be."

Posted 7:01 p.m., Wednesday 28 January, 2009.
Recently, I have wanted to improve the searching ability in a number of my Django projects. I've often added a search box that simply does an
icontains filter, which works fine for small sites but doesn't scale due to the inefficiency of matching text with basic SQL queries. The plus side of an
icontains filter is that it works on all of Django's database backends (with the exception of SQLite, which works but in a case-sensitive way), so it can be useful for pluggable applications to implement. I wanted something that could do some heavier lifting, so I looked into
tsearch2 - a PostgreSQL plugin that provides full-text indexing and searching that's twice as fast as standard
icontains filters. On DjangoSites I managed to reduce my search queries to half their original time, with improved accuracy. Read the full article to find out how.

Winds gusting up to 45 mph toppled trees onto homes and cars and knocked out power around the North Coast on Thursday night. It came on the heels of the low-pressure storm system that brought the season's first rains.
The winds kept emergency personnel, as well as PG&E, busy throughout the night. At one point, around 7:30 p.m., as many as 28,600 households were without power around Sonoma County, and 117 separate power failures had been reported, said PG&E spokesperson Jana Morris.
Major power failures were reported in Cazadero, Guerneville, Sonoma, Geyserville and near the Montgomery Village Shopping Center in Santa Rosa. As of press time, PG&E was investigating whether downed transmission lines might have contributed to the large number of business and homes without power in west Sonoma County. The company was working to restore power to many of those areas, and the number of households without power had dropped to about 24,000 by 9:30 p.m.
Wind Damage In Santa Rosa, Bay Area
"We do appreciate customers' patience, and we want to get lights back on as quickly as possible," Morris said.
Sonoma County seemed to bear the brunt of the winds, but in PG&E's Humboldt division, which includes Humboldt, Lake and Mendocino counties, 4,100 households were without power late Thursday night, Morris said. But the weather took a toll there too. At one point, four roads in Potter Valley were closed due to downed power lines.
Heavy winds and power failures were reported throughout the Bay Area, with Sonoma County and the East Bay being particularly hard-hit.
Trees were down throughout the region. In Petaluma, a tree reportedly fell on a car driving down Highway 101, fouling traffic during the evening commute.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY: We got a hold of a confession from the woman accused of raping her 18-month-old daughter. She was the second person arrested in the investigation, and new documents show she admitted to performing sex acts with the infant.
It is a very heartbreaking and disturbing story. The baby's mother was arrested Thursday and in the affidavit, it reports that she confessed to raping her daughter.
The Charlotte Behavioral Health Care Center is where the young mother was arrested. The facility is for mental heath and substance abuse patients.
New documents show that the mother told deputies that she and her boyfriend Glenn Nelson had been performing sex acts on her child since she was born.
Then deputies reported that inside the mother's Port Charlotte apartment, they found pornographic pictures of the baby.
Once she got to the Charlotte County Jail, deputies say the mother became unruly. An incident report shows that corrections deputies had to use a taser on her because she tried to bite one of them.
Glenn Nelson's best friend said the divorced mother had a brain injury and that she just wanted revenge against Nelson because he broke up with her.
"If you find out about her- she's nuts, she's had a brain tumor and she's nuts," said the friend.
But reports show that Nelson confessed to performing sex acts on several occasions with his girlfriend's baby.
In a jailhouse interview on Wednesday, he denied raping the infant. He said he fantasized about it, but never acted on it.
We did put in a request at the jail to interview the mother, but she said no. Her reason was that she has a language disorder and was afraid she'd say the wrong thing.
The mother and Nelson both face charges of capital sexual battery, lewd and lascivious molestation and child pornography.
The mother is being held in jail on a $750,000 bond. Nelson has no bond.

Southampton, N.Y., is set to lose one of its major art attractions this November, when the Parrish Art Museum moves to a new Herzog & de Meuron–designed building a few miles away, in Watermill, N.Y. But the village has been preparing for its move by planning a multi-use cultural center called the Southampton Center on the grounds of the old Parrish museum.

UFC 168: "Weidman vs. Silva 2" marks the end of 2013 for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As usual, the UFC plans to blow out the year with one of the deepest cards from top to bottom in the history of the promotion with a two title fights between some of the most recognizable fighters in the sport.
In the co-main event, Ronda Rousey puts her UFC Women's Bantamweight title on the line against her rival, Miesha Tate. They rivalry began in Strikeforce, where Rousey snapped Tate's arm to become the Strikeforce Women's champion.
Even in victory, the issues between the two fighters continued to simmer as they spent the 18th season of The Ultimate Fighter (TU) coaching against one another. Tate's team proved to be the superior bunch as both of her representatives won at the TUF finale.
The main event bout between UFC Middleweight champion Chris Weidman and former champion Anderson Silva provides just as much history. For years, Silva -- through his manager Ed Soares -- avoided Weidman, citing his inexperience in major fights.
That concern was proved to be correct when Weidman shocked the mixed martial arts (MMA) world by knocking "the Spider" unconscious in the second round to become the new champion. Though Silva sounded uncertain about his fighting future, he ultimately was granted a rematch with the new champ.
With such a star studded event, there have been rumblings on social media that the promotion would be raising the price of the pay-per-view (PPV) to $60, though without confirmation, those rumblings were believed to be hearsay at best.
Last night (Dec. 14, 2013), UFC President Dana White confirmed that the cost of the PPV would in fact be raised for the event, and seemed to be unapologetic with the decision. The reasoning is that the price increase is just $5, so therefore if it's going to break the bank, just invite a few more friends over.
To his credit, White confirmed that this is a one-time decision and won't be the norm moving forward.
Below is the full card...
Main Card
Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva
Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate
Travis Browne vs. Josh Barnett
Jim Miller vs. Fabricio Camoes
Dustin Poirier vs. Diego Brandao
Preliminary Card
Chris Leben vs. Uriah Hall
Gleison Tibau vs. Michael Johnson
Dennis Siver vs. Manny Gamburyan
John Howard vs. Siyar Bahadurzada
William Macario vs. Bobby Voelker
Robbie Peralta vs. Estevan Payan
So what say you Maniacs? Is this card worth the $60 price tag?

Unlike four years ago, the race for mayor in Atlanta appears to be a foregone conclusion. Officials expect a low turnout at the polls on Tuesday.Back in 2009, Kasim Reed barely beat Mary Norwood to become Atlanta's mayor. Reed is not expected to be seriously challenged this year."I think it shows what hard work and love of the city can do," Reed said. "I don't think it's a mistake that I'm in this position. I think we made hard decisions around pension reform…If we hadn't done pension reform, I probably would have a tough race. I made commitments around public safety. You remember the commercial, I said we will were going to hire 750 police. We have."A handful of lesser-known candidates are running for mayor, including An-Najahshilel Christl. "Sincerity needs to be the main catalyst in leadership," said Christl. "They need to be sincere in what they are doing. Violence is not reduced at the moment, it's simply spread out."Christl admitted that he has no previous experience governing, other than his own household.In Fulton County, polls are open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. In the city of Atlanta, polls are open until 8 p.m.

Standing still we cannot tell how well he has recovered form Plantar Fascitis, but Albert Pujols insists that he is an athlete... and he makes this plea to Grover on a segment of Sesame Street due to air this Thursday, January 30.
I don't have any height/weight specifications on Grover, he always struck me as taller than Ernie and Kermit the Frog and comparable in size to Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster (minus the weight of those two, does Children's Television Workshop test its muppets for roids?), but the legendary furry freak is dwarfed by the giant Pujols.
Here is the video if you cannot wait for Thursday's telecast...
Albert says his lines perfectly, obviously as rehearsed for this appearance as he is prepared for each game. Diligently pacing himself through the predictable skit, he holds back on the obvious desire to punch the self-destructive Grover in his face.
Nice to see an Angels uniform get some national exposure without Miss Piggy around.

"Thank You for helping to make this Christmas one of our best in years! We had almost decided against any Christmas Card - let along a personalized one - but then we came across your on-line site and took the opportunity! You delivered a beautiful card (almost prettier than the sample) and it was delivered to our mail box - quickly, safely and in perfect condition. Our friends and family responded with much warmth and happiness ! Again, Thank You!"
"Loved this design. The paper quality is once again substantial and of excellent quality. The colors came through even better than in the online version. My photos came through as clear and as crisp as they were in the originals, so well done tinyprints. This year I opted for the 2 day editing help. Thank goodness I did. ONE day after submitting my card, I got a call from one of the design people (on a SUNDAY!) who took out an unsightly fire extinguisher I had mentioned and also the unfortunate name tag visible on my lapel. Done! Perfect! Thank you tinyprints and thank you for actually getting my holiday cards to me A DAY EARLY! Wow. I am already a loyal tiny prints customer, but this year's experience certainly sealed it for me."
"Perfect simple design which leaves plenty of room for the photo, with the message banner low across the card. The website makes it easy to manipulate the photo to fit the card. Our photo was taken on a foggy day and we were able to increase the color intensity to brighten up the image, and it came out great on the printed cards. The card stock was substantial, especially important for a flat card. A pleasant surprise was that the envelopes were enough larger than the cards, so it was really easy to stuff them. Delivery was precisely on schedule. Great design, great execution, great delivery."
"This was our first time using Tiny Prints and now I'm sure it won't be the last. Extremely timely but still with excellent quality. I am beyond pleased and so happy I decided to use your company!"
"I was surprised and pleased to receive the cards in the mail and find that they were on a thick card stock rather than flimsy photo paper. I loved the different options for effects that could be added to our photograph, we chose the vintage style and it looks awesome! I also appreciated that they offered to have a professional screen/edit the card- I did not choose this option since I was ordering late, but next year will take advantage of that offer since it is free."

great poem. (Report) Reply
Anita B (11/4/2004 8:58:00 AM)
This poem to me reflects a struggle. A war between the passion the heart is feeling and the logic of the mind..Thoughts and feelings are a classic struggle. "We do not chose love, love chooses us" Sometimes we deeply love someone, or something, despite the facts why we shouldn't. Like an addiction "I do not see you but love you blindly" I love you madly and sometimes it's beyond my control. What should one do, follow their heart, or use their brain and try to do what is right? (Report) Reply
Anong All (6/22/2004 1:15:00 AM)
This poem to me, feels like a unconditional way of looking, and longing for love for all who; where, are, and who will be. Could also feel a powerful thought of a blessing/lesson, that we are all Family.....Everything that is, that exsists, have ways of communication, and finding ways to futher the healing pains. This poem is very inspiring.
Respectfully Yours,

In 1997, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry (ODAFF) and the Oklahoma State Legislature recognized the need for a division dedicated to protecting the state's soils and waters from animal waste. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO's) were becoming larger and more numerous across the state and the public was concerned about possible water contamination.
The ODAFF Agricultural Environmental Management Services (AEMS) was created to help develop, coordinate and oversee environmental policies and programs. The division's mission is to work with producers and concerned citizens to protect the Oklahoma environment from animals, poultry and their wastes.
Agricultural water quality issues have become a national issue. Ensuring that animal waste does not impact the waters of the state is the basis for the Oklahoma Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation Act. The CAFO Act is designed to protect water quality through the use of best management practices on agricultural lands.
A CAFO is an animal feeding operation that confines and feeds 1,000 animal units or more for 45 days or more in a 12 month period. It is designed by the U.S. EPA as a significant source of pollution. CAFOs have potential for serious impacts on water quality if not managed properly. The CAFO Act, as administered by the Agricultural Environmental Management Services, provides the CAFO operators the necessary tools and information to be the best managers they can be.
CAFOs must effectively deal with the manure and wastewater animals produce so streams, lakes, ponds, and ground water sources are not polluted. The Agricultural Environmental Management Services issues licenses to CAFOs, inspects the facilities and works with operators to protect water quality. Potential problems for CAFOs can include animal waste discharges to waters of the state and failure to properly operate wastewater facilities.
Voluntary compliance, supported by educational outreach, is one of the means to achieve the water quality goals of the CAFO program. A majority of the operators want to do the right thing in managing their animal waste.
A complaint regarding animals may be filed with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry by calling the Complaint Hotline at (800) 235-9877. This phone is manned between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. After business hours you may leave a message on the Voice Mail or if there is an emergency you will need to follow the instructions on the Voice Mail.
All information received is considered public information so, if you do not want your name or any identifying information made public, please indicate that the complaint is anonymous. If you file your complaint as anonymous, we will not be able to contact you regarding the resolution of the complaint.
