These webinars are offered at various times to permit the widest possible participation by our target audiences. When a webinar is announced, it will be posted on this page as well as other locations throughout the PAGE website. You might also receive special emails or other materials marketing an upcoming webinar. This site also contains links to archives of previously produced webinars.
Click on the title of any archived webinar below to view.
A webinar is a seminar held over the web. It is a live event where participants can see and hear presentations from authoritative experts via a personal computer. Participants can ask questions by typing them into the question box on their computer screen during the live presentation.
When you register for the webinar, you will be sent a confirmation email that contains a link (URL) and instructions for joining the webinar. Save this email! Read it carefully to make sure you understand how to log on to the webinar.
At least ten minutes prior to the start of the webinar, follow the instructions in your confirmation email, and your web browser will take you to a website where the webinar will take place. (This is called "joining the meeting.") When you join the webinar, you may first be instructed to download a piece of software, but it will take only a couple of minutes. During the webinar, you will view a PowerPoint presentation and will listen to the presenter over your computer speakers* (see "NOTE" below). This presentation will be live, so you will hear the presenter as (s)he is speaking. The computer screen you are viewing will also have a "Question" feature where you can type in your questions to the speaker during the session.
* NOTE: In addition to listening via your computer speakers (or headsets), there is often a "dial-in" option that enables you to listen over your phone, but the number provided will be a toll call (unless you have unlimited long distance service or use a cell phone with a nationwide calling plan).
Please note that a high-speed Internet connection is highly recommended in order to have a satisfactory experience. It is also recommended that you use high quality speakers (e.g., headsets, Mp3 player "ear buds," or external speakers).

SlimTone Stimulant Free Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Everyone has food cravings, and sometimes these cravings are difficult to ignore. After all, it is only natural to want a treat now and then. Everything in moderation is typically a good rule to live by. Unfortunately as you grow older, your metabolism slows down, and keeping off excess weight can be rather difficult. Luckily there are some weight management supplements available that can be of assistance. We are going to focus on SlimTone Stimulant Free, which is one of your options. Unlike the original formula, which contains Green Tea and Guarana, this weight loss formula contains no stimulants to keep you up at night.
- Chromium Chelate
- Hoodia Gordonii Extract
- Hydroxy Citric Acid
- L-Argenine
- L-Ornathine
- Seaweed Extract
- Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
Product Features
SlimTone Stimulant Free can be taken within 10 minutes of eating dinner (one or two capsules). The purpose of this supplement is to prevent further food cravings. You can also take this weight loss product prior to breakfast, as well as one or two hours before bed. It aims to increase calorie burning, improve muscle tone, regulate blood sugar levels, and prevent the storage of fat. This supplement is okay for both men and women.
The ingredients used in SlimTone Stimulant Free include CLA, Seaweed Extract, L-Ornathine, L-Argenine, Hydroxy Citric Acid, Chromium Chelate, and Hoodia Gordonii. As you may know, Hoodia is used in many diet products to suppress appetite, and it is a cactus plant extract. CLA is included to enhance muscle tone, and promote calorie burning. Seaweed Extract may support the metabolism, and Hydroxy Citric Acid is supposed to prevent sugar and carbs from being converted to fat. Chromium Chelate is incorporated to control blood glucose and help reduce sugar cravings. Lastly, L-Argenine and L-Ornathine are used in this supplement to aid with fat burning.
- Some dieters will appreciate that this supplement is free of stimulants.
- The ingredients used in SlimTone Stimulant Free are posted online.
- This diet pill appears to be only sold in the UK.
- Some people may have allergic reactions to SlimTone Stimulant Free pills.
- No regular exercise or healthy diet is recommended with this diet product.
There are some promising ingredients used in SlimTone Stimulant Free. In fact, some people will appreciate that this diet formula does not contain high levels of caffeine and Guarana. On the other hand, no clinical research was found to support this weight loss pill in particular. Furthermore, there is no healthy diet or lifestyle recommended with this supplement. Also, you should keep in mind that SlimTone Stimulant Free is available to those in the UK, and it does not appear to be sold to residents of the US.

Hey everyone, I'm a mavs/blazers fan (whose 2007 hatred for GS left with Baron Davis/JRich). On my fantasy team I got a few Warriors with Anthony Randolph, Biedrins, and Cap'n Jack. I know blazersedge (portland's sbnation site) is full of really good insight into the team and the players so I thought I'd get your opinion on a few things...
I'm keeping Randolph for sure and Biedrins felt like a safe (personally love his game) but seeing him have a subpar first outing and not knowing how his preseason went makes me wonder if Turiaf is slipping into his game. Is Biedrins planned for big minutes? I know that if Big Z comes up for Jack it's going to probably really hurt his minutes.
And when it comes to Jackson, the latest I've heard is that you guys are probably going to hold on to him until the trade deadline where you can get more value out of him. If that happens how would you imagine Nellie and management handling it? I know Nelson's extremely unpredictable but I've been getting conflicting reports on the internet and I can't tell if you guys are planning on playing him a lot to get his value up or benching him in disgust. What do you guys think/what have you heard?
Oh, and have you heard anything about Randolph and tonight's Phoenix game? Do you think he's still ramping up slowly or does he look like he's going to be playing major minutes now that he's supposed to start? Sorry for all the fantasy stuff, I just figure go to the source for good information. I appreciate the help and don't worry, you guys aren't alone in the Jack hate, every other team's fans are going to hate him when he joins Denver/Cavs/Boston/Lakers/SA or whatever ungodly city that gets him for virtually nothing.

Hi All,
i want to be able to have an item field (user picklist) called something like "Assinged to" and on creation of that item ownership is changed to the person specified in the Assinged to Field. i wouldnt mind if this person was added to the additional items either just as long as they are considered an owner of the task.
i want this so that when i assign a task to someone others cant see there tasks (permisions "View Records owned by others), this is mostly because i want to clean up the outstanding work section of the home screen. right now everyone can see the task even if they are not responsible for it.
i dont mind if there is a simple answer to this that doesnt need scripting however i dont think there is.
James Tennent
Solved! Go to Solution.
James - it's not possible to update the owner or add additional owners through scripting currently. One way we deal with this is like you mentioned - remove the 'View Records Owned by Others' permission from the workpace and have the record creator add specific groups or users to the additonal owners:
Hi James,
I'll also need to be bale to have this functionality in the future. Have you posted this proposal in IdeaStation?
this has now been added to the idea station, hit the kudos to give it some legs if you like.
So if an employee quits and goes to another competing firm, he/she can still access the files as an owner on Autodesk 360? How do I handle this situation?
Looks like the idea has been implemented. I got the following script to update an item's owner by leveraging the Users, ALL by Name picklist in my PROJECT_OWNER field. The complexity is due to loadUser using the Autodesk ID, but the picklist using user actual names. The search allows for a first and last name match.
var userName=item.PROJECT_OWNER; // Get the users
var nameArray=userName.split(", "); // Split the name of user in question
var lName=nameArray[0]; // Last name
var fName=nameArray[1]; // First name
var userINFO = Security.searchUsers({lastName:lName, firstName:fName}); //Find the user
item.master.owner = Security.loadUser(userINFO[0].id); //Changes owner to user.
Kudos to Joe for the jump start in this thread:

Wheaton Patch accepts and publishes letters to the editor emailed to Local Editor Charlotte Eriksen at email@example.com, or sent as a message through the Wheaton Patch Facebook page. Please note in subject lines the message is a Letter to the Editor.
I've called my Congressman, Peter Roskam, several times about my concerns over the "fiscal cliff" our country is headed toward. I don't want to go over this cliff. I believe that Congressman Peter Roskam is working hard for the people of the 6th District to prevent the higher taxes going over the "cliff" would cause.
Going over the "fiscal cliff" is a recipe for economic disaster. It will cause small businesses to either stop hiring or lay off workers. Higher taxes are not the answer. Reducing our out-of-control spending and creating an environment in which the economy can grow is the answer.
Unfortunately, President Obama has only talked about the revenue and taxes he wants to enact on the people, he has not proposed any cuts in spending. President Obama said that a balanced approach would include $3 of spending cuts to every $1 of new revenue. We've heard a lot about the revenue, now it is time to hear from the President and Congressional Democrats about the cuts.
I have heard Congressman Roskam ask President Obama several times for these spending cuts that would help reduce the deficit. As of this letter, President Obama has not addressed the issue.
Our country cannot go the European way and continue to spend like we have. Our national debt is above 16 trillion and soon we will have to raise the debt ceiling once again under President Obama.
Congressman Roskam is working hard to avert the "fiscal cliff" and is willing to work across the aisle to do it. I hope that we can avoid it so that we can begin to cut spending, reduce the debt, and create an environment in which our economy can thrive.
Sincerely yours,
Ed Stade
Bartlett, IL

The past four years have been a roller coaster of a ride, to say the very least.
When Nate and I first moved to Nashville, we had dreams of raising a family where our kids would know their neighbors, play in the streets, and grow up with snowflakes and fireflies amid the rolling hills and southern accents.
We landed in TN because I grew up outside of Memphis and desperately missed the south, and back in 2010, half of our weddings were Orlando-based and the other half were all around the country. Our thought (and hope) was that some day, it wouldn't matter where we lived since our market had grown increasingly destination based.
But then a funny thing happened: We moved, bought a home, and then our Orlando market grew stronger and stronger. We still photograph a handful of weddings around the country each year, but certainly not half. It wasn't uncommon that we could spend more days out of Tennessee than in it during the busy wedding months. Fall is my favorite season, and we were only home in Nashville for one week when the leaves were changing. I spent the entire week editing because we'd just returned from a two week Orlando trip and were gearing up to leave for another three!
Don't get me wrong- we're beyond grateful for our Florida couples because this business wouldn't be around without without them. (And getting a chance to return to Disney and friends was always a huge plus!) We didn't raise our prices when we moved because we knew we needed to keep that market, and in the end, I think that's the smartest decision we made. As much as we adore Tennessee, the feeling wasn't mutual and we only booked a handful of weddings while living here. Fast forward to this past April when Nate and I were in a Jacksonville hotel unpacking our bags, just a few days into a nearly month-long trip. He looked at me and said, "So, maybe we should think of moving back." I immediately replied, "I have 40 Windermere homes favorited in my Trulia account."
It's a little hard to write this and admit failure. A pretty big failure. But the truth is, had we not have moved to Nashville, I always would have wondered "what if" and longed to leave Florida. But I am truly counting down the days to moving day, and I will forever be grateful for our four crazy years in Nashville, because that's how long it took us to have that Wizard of Oz no-place-like-home moment… There really is no place like home. And we no longer have to be that weird 30 something couple with no kids who love Disney- We'll be back home with our people. ;)
I can't wait to make dinner dates with friends that don't revolve around our travel schedule. And mainly, I can't wait to have time to spend with my husband again. To own my life again. And let's be honest- To be down the street from Disney again! I know this is laying on the cheese just a bit thick, but home really is wherever I'm with Nathanial. And I could have a million dollar flat overlooking the Eiffel Tower, but if life's too crazy that I don't have time off with my husband? Deal breaker. We come first and I'm looking forward to a life of watching TV on our couch together, date nights at Disney, and cooking dinner together like normal people.
Wow, that was long and ramble-y, even for me! In summary, life=good, house=sold, husband=favorite, Orlando=home.

First things first- If you're an addict for stationery, notebooks, organization, or most importantly, planners- This post is for you.
If you're not, please kindly close the tab and have a wonderful day, because my crazy side is about to come out and it's not gonna be pretty. ;)
Hi, my name is Jensey, and I'm a planner addict. I can remember when my middle school came out with planners for students that had every week written out with lines to write homework and assignments for each class and honestly- The first day I used my planner was one of the best days of my life. (I sort of wish I was kidding, but then when I really think about it I get all nostalgic and nope- Definitely a top 20 day for me.)
I remember scoffing at my classmates, those poor souls, who didn't understand the beauty of this life-changing organizational tool. Through stickers, pretty pens, and writing just a tad slower than you normally do to ensure perfect penmanship, my planner became my tool to get me excited to write out homework assignments (and then cross them off when I finished them!)
When Google Calendar came out, my friends and then-boyfriend Nate loved the ability to keep track of everything in one place, but it sort of horrified me. I hated feeling tied to my computer and I could never seem to remember anything- Was our session tomorrow or a week from tomorrow? I'm absolutely a write-it-down-and-remember-it sort of girl, so typing in an appointment did nothing for my short term memory.
I stuck with paper planners and for a while was hooked on Sarah Pinto planners- They were simple, had a good design, and got the job done. But while they helped with keeping my blog calendar and queue in order, it couldn't handle the job of organizing the rest of my life too… And that's when on one very late night on Facebook, I discovered the wonderful world of Erin Condren by a girl from high school who probably doesn't even know we're Facebook friends.
Blog friends, meet my 2013 Erin Condren Planner. These planners come with tons of beautiful cover options, or you can upload your own. I chose to use the painting Patrick did of our first home for my cover, and my only complaint about it was that one year wasn't near enough time to look at this beauty! I think if my 12 year old self knew this was what future Jensey was using as a planner, well- "proud" wouldn't even begin to describe it. ;)
For 2014, I opted for my favorite Disney photo with a lil' inspirational quote, because I'm in a bit of a slump and sort of needed one. This year, the Life Planner covers are interchangeable. This is really cool for people like me who take forever to decide on a cover, but I'm curious to see how well they stay on throughout the year. The other cover I ordered was the turquoise platinum Life Planner which you can see here, because I'm too lazy to swap covers and take a photo because I forgot! :)
Some detailing of the foil planner.
The bad: Both covers arrived with the laminate messed up! The good : Erin Condren's customer service team is great and already working on sending me two replacement covers.
Two sections in the inside of my planner: A year at a glance and monthly section, which I use to schedule my Root Photography blog posts.
Here's what a weekly view looks like when you get it…
… And after it's Jensey-fied a bit :)
The notes section as it arrives…
… And then after I change it into my blog queue!
Details for the laminated tabs that come with the planner and then the re-positionable plastic tabs I use in the notes section.
Every planner comes with a sturdy folder in the back to hold labels and whatever else you throw back there, and shoot- I forgot to take a photo, but it also has a clear zipper pouch that I use for coupons, photos, receipts, etc.
Last year's planner had a perpetual calendar in the front section- Totally impracticable for anyone who used it because you had to transfer birthdays over every year to your new planner. This year, the planner came with this little cutie that slips in your "keep it together folder."
Using this calendar printable and some washi tape, I'm now using it for my Dis Roots blog calendar and queue. Maybe it'll inspire me to start blogging over there again soon! :)
So, there you have a look into my crazy. But really, for me, there's no better way to keep my life organized than a paper planner. And I love these because I can track everything from where I am in work to what to make for dinner each night… It really does work as part of my brain!
Be sure to check out the 2014 Erin Condren line, which includes teacher lesson planners, wedding planners, and more! And don't forget if you're making your first order on the website, pretty please use this link to create an account for $10 off your first order. Happy shopping, fellow crazies! :)

My story is similar to that of thousands of other immigrants in the United States Armed Services. Yesterday, Senator Bob Menendez from New Jersey introduced a bill to provide immigration relief to the thousands of immigrants and their families serving overseas. Simply, the bill aims to keep the families of US service members together while they fight for our freedom. At the very least, service members have earned the right to be united with their closest family members on a permanent basis without fearing that they will face unfair and unexpected deportation.

A: Billions upon billions, if some Republicans get their way. Fortunately, they didn't get their way on the Census yesterday.

Here's a splashy headline CNN released last week: "CNN Poll: 3 out of 4 want illegal immigration decreased." Sounds pretty tough on immigrants, right? Rough week for common-sense immigration reform? Actually, no. See, CNN asked whether Americans wanted more or less illegal immigration. Since most advocates agree that more illegal immigration would be undesirable, this question doesn't say much. If you do the math, CNN could have just as easily released their poll with this headline: "CNN Poll: 2 of 3 Americans want immigrants legalized, not deported."

The reports examines the Bush Administration's workplace immigration enforcement actions between 2006 and 2008 and it describes, in devastating detail, the problems associated with prioritizing immigration enforcement over labor law enforcement.

A U.S. News and World Report article this week speaks to the growing chorus of religious conservatives standing up for comprehensive immigration reform:
Many of the same faith-based groups attacking Obama and the Democrats (on other issues), including the National Association of Evangelicals, the Southern Baptist Convention, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, are poised to become major players in the president's coming push for comprehensive immigration reform, which would include a path to citizenship for many illegal immigrants. "There is a strong biblical teaching about showing hospitality to the stranger and the alien," says (National Association of Evangelicals chief lobbyist Galen) Carey.
Carey's organization, the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), made news earlier this month when its board unanimously passed a resolution in support of reform.

It's obvious that the specter of ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is being used by politicians like Rep.

Taking a cue from the "tea parties" and rowdy "townhalls" this summer, perhaps, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouted, "You lie!" at President Obama during his speech last night. According to the Associated Press: "OBAMA: "The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." One congressman, South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson, shouted "You lie!" from his seat in the House chamber when Obama made this assertion. Wilson later apologized."

The Center for Urban Economic Development, National Employment Law Project, and UCLA Institutute for Research on Labor and Employment, released a study titled "Broken Laws, Unprotected Workers that explored the treatment of approximately 4,500 workers in three of America's biggest cities - New York, LA, and Chicago.
It cites a surprising number of labor and workplace abuses happening right here in the United States.
One finding is that the current dysfunctional immigration system also makes it harder for immigrant workers to assert their rights in the workplace-- and that this hurts all American workers.

Immigration Policy Center just released a new report by Senior Researcher Walter Ewing that injects "a healthy dose of economic realism" into the debate over how the government should handle the 12 million undocumented immigrants in the country. According to Ewing, our current economic situation needs immigration reform that helps rather than hurts the US economy, and so he lists three potential changes in immigration policy and compares their economic impact – leaving aside the moral and civil issues that surround various options.

So apparently, the US government has been spending its time -- and our money -- to send American citizens...on free trips to Mexico?
In April, our government admitted that it wrongly deported a North Carolina native, Mark Lyttle, who speaks no Spanish and is mentally ill -- a fact of which federal agents were allegedly aware.

It wasn't at first obvious to an outsider what these police chiefs had in common, but after an hour's worth of discussion it became clear: they've all been caught at the center of an immigration fire storm, without ever choosing to be there. What do these chiefs want instead? Consensus on this one -- they just want to do their jobs: ensuring the safety of the communities they serve. Police chiefs and many of the associations that represent them, the Major Cities Chiefs, the Police Foundation, and now the Police Executive Research Forum, have increasingly been standing up to say just that.

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." reads the inscription on the Statue of Liberty, perhaps our country's clearest welcome to those who come to America in search of a better life. This July 4th, America celebrated the rich, cultural influences that make up this nation of immigrants by naturalizing approximately 6,000 immigrants in 50 patriotic ceremonies around the country.

It's not just the Wall Street Journal. Kos, founder of the progressive political site Daily Kos, digs into our new polling figures today: "So check it -- conventional wisdom is that tough economic times generates anti-immigrant sentiment, but these numbers are stellar. And that's just asking people about "comprehensive immigration reform". Look what happens when they are told what that actually means..."

New public opinion research by Lake Research Partners showed up in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, ripping to shreds the conventional wisdom that immigration reform can't happen in a down economy: "If anything, the economic climate has actually improved the environment for immigration reform, at least as far as the public is concerned," said Celinda Lake, who heads Lake Research Partners."

As usual, right-wing media is off blaming immigrants for everything wrong with the world. To recap: yes, swine flu is wreaking havoc in Mexico and has taken over a hundred lives there. Yes, it is a major disaster that needs to be tracked, treated, and contained - and our government is working to do that. But no, Michelle Malkin, this dreaded flu is not the fault of immigrants living in our nation.

The New York Times has a poignant piece about family separation today, separation that is occurring across our nation as a result of our broken immigration system. It details the story of Encarnaci�n Bail Romero, a mother who was locked up after an immigration raid in Carthage, Missouri, and her two year old son, Carlos. An immigration lawyer, Christopher Huck, argued: "In many cases, what state courts want to do �conflicts with what federal immigration agencies are supposed to do... then things spiral out of control, and it ends up in these real unfortunate situations."

Note: This is a new weekly feature by Nezua, TMC MediaWire Blogger. The dialogue on immigration has, historically, been contentious and cyclical. There are times when hysteria peaks, and rational thought struggles to enter the national dialogue. There are also moments of truth. This week, independent media debunked many myths about the undocumented and made the case for the positive impact of immigrants in the US, including the positive effect of legalizing the undocumented on the economy and how citizens are holding elected representatives accountable for votes against pro-immigrant measures.

Well, yesterday was a new day. Yesterday's news that organized labor has joined forces to push for comprehensive reform highlights the important link between comprehensive immigration reform, the economy, and worker protection. As the New York Times argued so succinctly yesterday: Even in a bad economy - especially in a bad economy - getting undocumented immigrants on the right side of the law only makes sense.

SnP says that one of the Wolves' strategies may be to keep space open in 2011 to add a big-time free agent. That sounds wise, but upon further review of the actual list of restricted and unrestricted free agents that year, it appears that the candidates will be Melo, Durant, and . . .
. . . who else? Greg Oden? Marc Gasol?? Horford?
Melo's already discussing signing an extension with the Nuggets, and I don't think that Durant will be leaving OKC any time soon. So that not only begs the question of who else might be signable, but is this a good plan for the Wolves? And should they turn down offers that might bring them a top rookie now, but will also tie up cap space for the next few years/

Does anyone know if the iBooks app will allow you to take notes on a book?

Does anyone know if the iBooks app will allow you to take notes on a book?
From the videos on the site. It does not appear so.
Again, my suggestion is to get the Kindle app when it is available and purchase your books for the Kindle. The app (if it's like the iPhone app) will allow you to highlight, take notes, and provide bookmarks. All of those will be synced back to their cloud so even if you lose your device or delete the book from the Kindle app those notes, highlights and bookmarks will be available if you redownload the book.
Mar 31, 2010, 08:02 PM
How do you know this about the Kindle app?
Mar 31, 2010, 08:07 PM
I would have liked to see some form of note taking on the ibook reader, so what I plan on doing is putting casual books in iBooks and using PDF files in PadNotes, as the lets one take notes on files.
Mar 31, 2010, 09:14 PM
Mossberg says it doesnt have it...
"I also found iBooks, Apple's book reader and store, easy to use, and read a couple of books on it. I consider the larger color screen superior to the Kindle's, and encountered no eye strain. But the iPad is much heavier than the Kindle and most people will need two hands to use it. The iBooks app also lacks any way to enter notes, and Apple's catalog at launch will only be about 60,000 books versus more than 400,000 for Kindle."
Mar 31, 2010, 09:19 PM
If true that you can't put notes into the iBook app, this will be my first real disappointment with the device. I know you can copy and paste, and I may end up doing that at first to keep notes, but I hope Apple updates this quickly.
Mar 31, 2010, 09:23 PM
That makes it a bit of a negative for potential student use. They can't conveniently take notes but would have to jump out of a book, make a note and then return.
Mar 31, 2010, 09:29 PM
How do you know this about the Kindle app?
Look at the tablet computer including ipad portion
Create bookmarks, notes, and highlights, and view the annotations you created on your Kindle
It's also already in the iPhone app. I wouldn't think it'd be that difficult to completely port the entire thing over to the iPad, including the bookmarks, annotations and highlighting.
Face it. iBooks is a 1.0 app. It isn't as great as everyone made it out to be. Shock. All the arguments over whether the Kindle was dying because of the iPad. Blah blah blah blah.
Kindle isn't going anywhere.
And never mind copying and pasting text from iBooks. I really don't think that will be available in any large capacity, if at all. Copyright protection and all. Maybe on open epub's but not on purchased books.
May 21, 2011, 02:04 PM
I suggest you can try Student Pad :)

First fanpost ever on here so hopefully I'm doing it right...
So, it's been boring at work, and the twitterverse is screaming about Luongo apparently being "90% done towards being traded to the Leafs". The source, while extremely young, has a good history of nailing Canuck trades 20-30 minutes before any other news source finds out.
Do we keep our heads in the sand, or should we chew on this? Clearly moving the monster contract means he's not going to be traded for what he's really worth. Besides money and years on the contract, trade-wise he'd be coming in "on the cheap". I don't know about you guys but the thought of Luongo in Blue and White makes me think two things:
1) Hey, we HAVE to make the playoffs with him as the backstop, right?
2) ... we are SO DEAD in the playoffs with Luongo in net.
I don't think I've been so ambivalent about a "top name" trade involving the leafs since... well... possibly ever. I feel like I need a bit of support group, thus this post. How are we feeling Leafs fans? Is this the best, or worst thing that could happen?

How to Paint a Wavy Line on a Wall
To Paint a wavy line as a simple background to a flower mural like the one from Kidtropolis you can use this method which is great for all sorts of other mural effects.
See my previous post to see the furniture and mural from Kidtropolis
First draw gentle curves lightly on the wall with chalk. You can wipe away the chalk if you don't like the layout and redraw until you are happy.
Don't make the curves too tight as it will be difficult to bend the tape to shape.
Begin sticking the tape to the wall following your lines and coaxing the tape gently into shape around the curves.
Where there are little creases in the tape, flatten them down to stop paint from seeping under the tape
Paint below or above the line, always brushing the paint away from the tape rather than to into it, to stop the paint from bleeding under the tape. Also make sure your paint is not too runny.
Now if you wish, paint the other half of the wall and allow the paint to dry before removing the tape gently to reveal the design with a line between the two colours.
Use wider tape for a wider line.
If you don't want a line between the colours, paint your lighter colour first painting up to your chalk line and a little bit over.
When that paint is completely dry, stick on your tape as above but make sure it is covering the newly painted area. Painting up to the tape with your darker colour will give you a clean edge when you remove the tape.
You may still find some paint has bled underneath. You can touch this up with your original paint colour afterwards.
Next, paint on some simple, bold flowers.
I'll show you how to do that next
Polka Dot Decor For Children's Rooms
Dotty for Polka Dot Nursery decor
If you're looking for Polka Dot Bedding and Decor for your child's room or baby nursery then you'll be totally spoilt for choice. Take a look at the Find.com . You'll be seeing spots before your eyes! (Sorry, weak I know)
As you can see, Polka Dot themed bedding is very easy to find.
Now look what I found that would look fantastic to go with your poka dot room theme.
I just love these funky mobiles from the Wonderlandstudio that would look great in a polka dot nursery or child's bedroom.
They come in all sorts of colours too.
This is what Wonderlandstudio says about her mobiles
Ok, lets look at How to Paint Polka Dots on the wall.
Again, it's really not hard to find polka dot wall art when you search on Polka Dot stickers. There is no end of choice. Polka dot wall stickers can be simply stuck on the wall. Very easy.
Here's some I found from Create-a-Mural.com
Theres lots more colours to choose from. Click on the image below to see the range.
How to paint Polka Dots on the wall
If you don't want to go down the polka dot sticker route, then consider painting dots on your walls.
You will need
A selection of Plates, cups anything round you can draw around.
A light coloured pencil or chalk
Acrylic paints of your choice. Tester pots are good value.
How to do it.
Choose your paint colours to suit your bedding.
Take your biggest plate and press it against the wall drawing around it. Repeat in intervals over the wall.
Take your next biggest plate and do the same thing inbetween the first sets of circles. You can overlap dots if you wish.
Keep doing the same thing with your smaller plates until you have created a pleasing dotty arrangement. You can have them as close together or as far apart as you wish.
Next take your first paint colour and paint in some of the dots evenly across the wall. Use a small paint brush for the edges and fill in with a larger flat brush.
Don't buy really cheap brushes, you'll only end up with hairs sticking to the paint as the brush 'sheds' it's bristles. Don't get too worried if you wobble a bit, when all the dots are finished you won't notice the odd wobble.
Do the same with your other colours until all the dots are painted.
If you overlap dots, paint the overlap area in a different colour
I would suggest to stick to 3 colours or tones of a colour unless you want a really colourful poka dot design.
There you have it.
A polka dot room theme. Really easy and very effective and cheerful.
How to paint a Circus Tent ceiling…
This project would be great with a circus themed room or even a Princess themed room.
First, find the center of your ceiling.
This can be done quite easily by drawing a line from one corner of the room to the opposite corner of the room. You can do this by snapping a chalk line from corner to corner. Then do that again from the opposite two corners – where they intersect is the center of the room.
Mark it securely with a nail.
Second, draw a circle on a piece of cardboard and cut that in half and use that as a template. (You could also use a large paper plate or simply draw around something like a large circular serving plate. The bigger the circle the less work this will be in the long run.) Take the half circle template and place it flat against the wall at a corner with the straight side up against the ceiling. Trace around the template to create your first "scallop" on the wall. Slide the template over, keeping the flat edge against the ceiling just until the you pass the first "scallop" and trace around the template again. Make sure the edges of the scallops touch slightly. Repeat this around the room on all sides of the room.
Third. Once you have all of the "scallops" drawn on the wall at the ceiling line, draw a line from the center of the room to the point where each scallop touches the next scallop. Continue this all around the room. If you have a chalk line – attach it to the nail in the center of the ceiling and snap a line at each scallop. Now you will have lots of thin "pie shaped wedges" on the ceiling.
Fourth - Tape off every other "pie wedge" and paint it one of the colors of the mural. Then repeat with the remaining "pie wedges" with a different color of the mural.
Thanks to my friend Patricia Newton of Elephants on the wall for this project.
A painted wall
If you're like me you're passionate about decor and would love to extend that passion that into your children's bedrooms or babies bedroom or nursery.
Imagine what your child's room could be like if you could continue the decor onto the wall with some kind of decorative walls feature. By the time you finish reading this short article you will begin to realise that you could easily create painted art for your child's room.
My special interest is in the painted wall, and how to paint a wall for your child or baby nursery.
Did you know that some people think they are called 'wall muriels' or 'wall murials'?
I think that's cute, but I don't mind what you want to call it, I am just interested in helping you to paint a mural yourself with simple wall 'muriel' designs. Let me show you how.
When you get right down to it you could describe my DIY mural system as a wall template, perhaps even a wall stencil, but guess what?
What would you say if I told you that basically it's good old paint by numbers, but on larger scale?
It couldn't be simpler.
Now that you know how simple the technique is, I'd like you to pop on over to my website and take a look at some of the designs available to you for your children's decor. We have a custom service too, so check that out too

I honestly love this time of the year. Post draft, every fan across the spectrum is feeling hopeful that the latest crop of draftees and free agents are going to help their team turn the tide. Change narrow losses of last season into narrow wins this season. The emotion of it all is so palpable and I love it! And you have to tip your hat to the vast hype machine that gets turned on after the Superbowl. So thank you NFL.
The recipe is simple. It starts with a dash of the post bowl game all star games. The East-West Shrine game. The Senior Bowl. The Texas vs. the Nation game. Add in a dash of NFL Combine, where the prospects and measured and tested and ranked. Follow with a pinch of College Pro days. And then mix it slowly with (2) months of speculation, uh, I mean analysis on how good these players are and what each team needs and therefore what player will fit where. Then top off with the endless mocks drafts. I mean mocks on mocks on mocks! Man! By the time the actual draft comes around, we know exactly where our favorite team is weakest and we've even narrowed down exactly who should be drafted where.
Except we don't really know how the draft will unfold. And here is my favorite part: After the draft, we grade the team immediately. Not after the 1st season or the 1st game or the even the 1st practice. Laughable.
So, I'd like to make the case on how this 2013 Cowboys Draft feels right to me using (4) points that lead me to a single conclusion, a metaphorical "4 point stance":
"Down": Universally, leading up to the draft, every pundit I read from nearly every sports outlet identified the OL as the main area of weakness for the Cowboys. Not just that, but in fact they ID'd the interior OL as the issue. "Romo gets too much pressure in his face and that leads to too many bad plays". Sound familiar? So draft an interior lineman, right? In fact, the best at his position this year.
"Set": But post draft, after the Cowboys did just that, it's regarded as a reach. You know who's a reach? EJ Manuel is a reach. Kyle Long is a reach. Ziggy Ansah is a reach (for how high he went). DJ Hayen is a reach. If there were only 18 players with 1st round grades, as the pundits have told us, and we pick 18, then why take the last one left? What if he doesn't meet you primary need? What if he's a 3 technique DT that struggles getting sacks? Pass on him, right? Trade down and get better value, right?
"Hut": But did you get enough in the trade down? Yup. You got a starter. In fact, you got a starter, a motivator and possibly future salary cap relief. Williams instantly motivates Austin to step his game up and gives the Cowboys leverage next season if they need to release Austin or reduce his salary. And what are we arguing about? Not getting a 6th too? With this teams draft record in the late rounds? Would a 6th rounder be an impact player?
"Go!": And, looking at the top half of the Cowboys draft, netting a starting Center, a starting TE (given the focus on 12 personnel), a potential starting S and a #3WR, is not bad.
So, where was I? Oh, pundits. Predraft, "Cowboys need to fix the OL. They cannot live with the interior line the way it is. And they need to add at least (1) safety that can start because Church is coming off injury and Johnson didn't play a down last year. And look at what happened last year week 16 when Austin and Bryant went out? I would invest in a WR that's capable of starting. And who will play the 3 technique?" Check, check, check and uh…Look it's not the way you may have done it, but it was a solid weekend for the Boys.

Let me preface all of this by saying that I do not doubt Jim's strategies too often. I am not ready to throw away the season after two losses (unlike some people on this blog). I see a lot of positives in the Lions vs. years past. HOWEVER, Why did Gym Shorts not kick the f-ing field goal in the fourth quarter. When you are down by 11, you can not get back to even with one drive. On third down, we cannot move the ball the 2 feet that we needed for the first down. So what do we do on fourth down? Run the same stupid play where they destroy us off the line and end our drive. Do we win if that happens, not necessarily, but at least make qb Dog Killer beat us in overtime. Gym Shorts has my faith when it comes to most football decisions, however, he should consider hiring me for math related decisions. (by the way, I realize hind sight is always 20/20, but when they were going for it, I thought it was the wrong decision)
I am impressed by the grit Shaun Hill has in the Fourth quarter. He seems to be one of those guys who only performs when pressure is at its absolute max. We should just keep Hill in a hurry up offense for the entire game and not allow him to look at the scoreboard.

Mencap - Stuck at Home
New research from VODG member Mencap, which finds that one in four adults with a learning disability are stuck at home due to cuts to day services.
Nearly a third of local authorities have closed day services in the last three years, says Mencap, which issued a freedom of information request to 151 local authorities in England that provide day services. The charity also conducted a survey of 280 people with a learning disability and their families and 194 professionals working with people with a learning disability for its report, Stuck at home: the impact of day service cuts on people with a learning disability.
Mencap says 88% of the people with a learning disability who took part in the research did not feel that they were adequately consulted about changes to services, with 64% not having been asked for their views at all, even though local authorities have a legal duty to consult service users when closing or significantly changing services.

Is K-Love good for more than one and done?
There are people who think so because they are of the opinion that he will not be such a success in the NBA.
In fact, I know a long-time basketball observer who is a personal friend of Pete Newell and has helped at his Big Man Camps who thinks Love is not a first rounder.
Not only does he think he is not going in the first round, but he thinks that he will stick around for three years.
Whoo Hoo! I sure hope he is right, but I don't know.
Here are the observations that I would love to hear your takes on:
*Love is not 6-10, but only 6-8 and a half. He is huge, but not strong and needs to replace some bulk with muscle.
*While Love has dominated many inside players in the Pac-10, my friend said he would not have similar success against real NBA centers who can actually jump and have some athleticism. The Lopez twins and Brockman are not very athletic and don't jump well either.
*Said friend says he would play forward in the NBA and challenged me to think about what would happen if he tried to guard, say, Lamar Odom.
*He asked me to name a big white guy who was ever drafted highly who turned out to be a huge star.
*He said Love lacks the impeccable timing to block shots that Walton had, even though he is often compared to him.
*Finally, he says he needs to lose 10 pounds of fat and add 10 pounds of muscle and then he could be a middle second rounder in a couple years.
What do you think? Is my friend full of it or does he have some good points? I sure hope some NBA people share his opinion so that Love will stick around and play for us a while longer.

Dr. Gael Yonnet began working at Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo in October. When he first started medical school at the University of Utah, he planned to go into neurology. That changed during his last year in school.
"I entered a snowboard contest, and I got paralyzed from it. I fell 40 feet," said Yonnet.
Yonnet said he overshot the landing on a jump, crashed and lost consciousness for a short time.
"People came and asked me what's the day and I know exactly. Today is March 4, 2006," said Yonnet. "It was about 11 a.m., and I had no pain right then. I tried to move, and I couldn't. Tried to move my legs and couldn't."
He was taken by helicopter to the very hospital where he worked as a medical student.
"I had two neuro surgeries to stabilize my back because I broke seven vertebrae and five ribs," he said. "I was pretty bad."
He spent two months at in-patient rehab. The native of France admits adjusting to life in a wheelchair wasn't easy at first.
"I was very depressed not to have use of my legs anymore, and then a patient of mine who was a quadriplegic (and) couldn't move his arms told me, 'I wish I had your arms,' and that was a key moment," Yonnet said. "If someone else can be envious of me for what I have, I have to be thankful I still have it."
After the accident, Yonnet decided to specialize in rehabilitation -- specifically working with spinal cord injuries, amputations, brain injuries, strokes and multiple sclerosis.
One of the main reasons he came to Iowa is because Covenant Medical Center offered to help him with a multiple sclerosis clinic.
He said Iowa has the least number of providers for people with MS.
One of his patients at Covenant Medical Center is Nancy O'Connor. She was paralyzed from polio at just 11 months old. She works with Dr. Yonnet to maintain the function she has and to prevent further limitations.
"He had communications that were for me and about me from the very start. He's compassionate. He's an exceptional physician," said O'Connor.
Besides patient interactions, Dr. Yonnet has a constant companion -- his service dog, Talix. Talix goes with him everywhere and offers assistance if necessary.
Yonnet said the accident seven years ago taught him never to take anything for granted. Today, he continues to stay active through hand cycling, tennis, climbing and sit-skiing.
"I think that's the key to happiness: It's accepting who you are, and living in your abilities and maximizing your potential," said Yonnet.

A Wedding Dress That Dissolves in Water
For a very eco-wedding
Green weddings are all the rage these days. After all, when it comes down to it, it's pretty ridiculous how much we spend on huge weddings. Only to throw everything away at the end of it (including, oftentimes, our own marriages!). So why not wear a dress that will simply disappear when you're done with it?
It's often thought that the biggest wedding waste is the wedding dress. After all, you wear the dress for about 8 hours and then put it away, never to be worn again. So now, researchers in England are designing a dress that can simply be dissolved in water when you're done wearing it.
But it's more than that. The dress is made from biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol and parts of it will actually remain after submerging in water. It allegedly transforms into 5 other fashion garments. So, you can wear your wedding dress again and again and again in 5 different forms!
According to the press release, "The students wanted to challenge the notion that a wedding dress should only be used once and aimed to explore modern society's attitudes towards throwaway fashion... The wedding gown is perhaps one of the most symbolic garments in [a woman's] wardrobe and represents the challenges of 'throwaway fashion."
Of course, you'll have to be careful if you opt to wear this wedding dress. Rain on your wedding day will take on a whole new meaning- your dress might start dissolving!
Would you consider wearing this dissolving wedding dress or do you still want to go the traditional route? While we might not wear this just yet, we think it's a great step toward a world of greener weddings.

Tennessee's Rajion Neal says increased workload is a 'compliment' (with video)
KNOXVILLE, Tennessee -- Tennessee starting running back Rajion Neal was on the field for about 50 snaps Saturday against Georgia, which sounds like a lot until it's compared to his workload against Florida two weeks earlier.
"We played him a lot, but it was about the right number of snaps," said Vols coach Derek Dooley. "I think he had about 50 or so snaps and touched it about 20 times, which is good. That's a heavy workload right there, but it's 20 (fewer) snaps than he got in the Florida game."
Neal has 103 carries fro 460 yards and four touchdowns in five games this year. Understandably, he doesn't complain about his carries, which he says reflect the health of the run game.
"I almost feel that it is a compliment," said Neal. "It means that we are doing something right. It means that these guys have faith and believe in what we are doing and everyone is behind it. It feels good to know that our offensive coordinator wants to keep running and our quarterback is agreeing with him and saying he wants to do that. It's exciting to hear."

Parents with children in the Lafayette Parish School System are uniting behind a movement to encourage more parental involvement.
The Parent Empowerment Organization's main goal is to be an information source between the parents and the school district as well as the individual schools of their children. In order for this to be successful, they will need the help of other parents in the public school system.
"There's the chamber, there's teachers, but we're just not hearing from the parents so our goal is to get the parents a little more engaged and get them involved in the schools." said Heather Blanchard who is with Parents Empowerment.
Administrators understand the concern of the parents and more than willing to cooperate.
"I was excited to actually meet with some parents. They were very interested in joining forces to be able to support the school system," said Angela Morrison with the Lafayette Parish School Board.
With a few parents showing genuine effort, they need more voicing their opinions so that they can be heard.
"When ever two or more join and they have a stronger voice, then they're heard. And so therefore an organization such as this will allow parents an opportunity to have a stronger voice on issues that matter most for those kids."
said Morrison.

Gilbert Beebower, co-author of a 1986 paper demonstrating that investors should focus on allocating money among equities, bonds and cash, rather than pick stocks or bet on market turns, has died. He was 79.
Bill Gross no longer runs the world's largest mutual fund.
There are now 337 exchange-traded funds pushing up the daisies. More than 40 percent of those deaths by Darwin took place in the last 18 months, when ETF inflows have broken records.
As Robert Arnott was deciding whether to start his own investment firm, he met with his hero John Bogle for dinner. At a steakhouse in downtown Philadelphia in 2001, the founder of indexing powerhouse Vanguard Group Inc. spoke with enthusiasm about running his own firm. Bogle, who's now 82, told Arnott that starting a company could be rewarding once your investing ideas catch fire.
John Bogle, the Vanguard Group Inc. founder who popularized index investing, said lower tax rates for certain types of gains earned by private equity firms are "ridiculous."
Together they have 120 years experience in financial markets. John Bogle, 82, popularized index investing. Paul Volcker, 84, broke the back of 15 percent inflation as Federal Reserve chairman in the 1980s.
John Bogle has preached the virtues of low-cost indexing since the 1970s to investors willing to pay higher fees for big-name money managers at firms such as Fidelity Investments.
John Bogle , a 1951 Princeton University graduate and founder of Vanguard Group Inc., says he never underestimates his alma mater, even today when the basketball team takes on the seven-time national champion University of Kentucky.
Clifford Asness , who runs AQR Capital Management LLC, one of the world's biggest hedge funds, says fellow fund managers gouge their clients by charging exorbitant fees for just tracking the markets. He also takes a dim view of the administration of President Barack Obama , calling his economic team "Cossacks on a shtetl," a reference to the Russian cavalrymen who sacked Jewish villages in Eastern Europe in the 19th century.
After losses of more than 50 percent in 2007 and 2008, Cliff Asness of AQR Capital Management is starting new hedge and mutual funds--and sounding off on everything from taxes to Tea Partiers.
"It does not take a genius to know that the bigger the profit of the management company, the smaller the profits that investors get."

News: UPDATE: Drake's Rep Addresses Alleged Ex-Girlfriend, "Marvin's Room" Controversy
Friday, Feb 3, 2012 9:47PM
Hours after a woman claiming to be Young Money star Drake's ex-girlfriend and the victim of a copyright violation, the rapper's camp has stepped up to respond.
According to Drake's spokesperson, Ericka Lee's accusations are completely false.
"This claim is entirely without merit and our client has not engaged in any wrongful conduct. Ericka Lee consented to the use of her voice in the song "Marvin's Room" prior to its release. Lee asked only for the credit she received as "Syren Lyric Muse," and she did not ask for any compensation," a spokesperson for the rapper told Pop & Hiss on Friday. "It was only after she retained a lawyer that there was a demand for payment. Drake tried for months to resolve the matter amicably, and he now looks forward to being vindicated in court." A source close to the performer also stressed the two were never engaged in a romantic relationship, despite her claims. (Los Angeles Times)
Details of Lee's claims and legal action hit the Internet early Friday (February 3).
Ericka Lee, revealing herself to be Drake's ex-girlfriend, has stepped up, saying she was the voice on the other end of the phone call. The woman is now suing Drake for excluding her from sharing co-writer royalties on one of his biggest recent hits. Lee filed the lawsuit on Thursday in California federal court claiming the two had a romantic and business partnership between early-2010 and mid-2011. During the relationship, the two are said to have traded poems and song lyrics and discussed joint creative projects. (The Hollywood Reporter)
Following an alleged messy break-up, Lee later contacted an attorney to put the suit into motion.
By November, Lee hired a lawyer, which allegedly caused Drake to make threatening phone calls. "What the f--k is your problem?" he said to her, according to the complaint, then offering her "4-5%" of publishing monies plus a $50,000 payout to go away. Instead, Lee has filed a lawsuit over "Marvin's Room," which has been viewed more than 39 million times on YouTube. She demands a judge declare her as co-writer of the song. She's also seeking damages and disgorgement of profits on allegations of breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. Lee is represented by Neville Johnson, who previously filed a lawsuit against Drake on behalf of a Playboy Enterprises for sampling an unauthorized sound recording it owned on "Best I Ever Had." (The Hollywood Reporter)
The record premiered last summer and features production from Noah "40" Shebib.
Get excited, Drake fans. According to his website, his sophomore album, Take Care, is due out in October and we should be hearing the first single in July. And if that isn't enough for y'all, he has also come through with a brand-new track called "Marvins Room." It's far less rap-heavy than "Dreams Money Can Buy" and instead features Drizzy throwing on his R&B sad-man/storyteller hat throughout the nearly six-minute-long track. The result is a pretty epic cut that includes a track-ending piano solo and producer Noah "40" Shebib's trademark watery 808s. A single this is not, but I'll be d*mned if it won't make for a killer deep cut. (Prefix Mag)

Falcons Fall in Four to Wyoming
Oct. 4, 2008
USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Despite three players with double-digit kill totals, the Air Force volleyball team dropped a four-set decision to Wyoming in Mountain West Conference action on Saturday, Oct. 4, at the Academy's Clune Arena. The Falcons (4-13 overall) dropped the first two sets, 25-21 and 25-23, before rallying to take the third set by a 25-22 margin. Wyoming moved to 3-10 on the year with the final 25-20 victory in the fourth.
The third-set victory is the Falcons' first game-win since Sept. 13. It is also the first in conference play since Nov. 2 of last season. The team's 51 kills are the most since Sept. 13 and the five service aces are the second-best of the season, only trailing the Sept. 6 output of seven.
Junior Michelle Harrington led Air Force with 13 kills and a .333 hitting percentage (13 kills-2 errors-33 attempts). She also clocked a match-high six blocks, including her ninth solo stop of the year. Senior Jasamine Pettie and sophomore Nichole Stilwell each added 11 kills to the Falcons' total, while hitting above .240.
After collecting just five service aces during the first five matches of conference play, Air Force matched that total tonight. Sophomore Caroline Kurtz tallied a pair of aces, while sophomore Stephanie Stanford, junior Katie Batchelder and senior Kristina Stewart recorded the other three.
Freshman Victoria Martinez led the Falcons with 17 digs, while sophomore Jessica Hellmann nearly reached a double-digit dig total with nine. In addition, Hellmann accounted for 20 assists and Stanford added 18.
Air Force closes out non-conference action next weekend as it travels to Chicago State on Friday, Oct. 10, and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on Saturday, Oct. 11.

I know that this is futile, but it is fun. There's so much smoke around, it makes it hard to see.
I thought that it was interesting to see how far Brook Lopez has fallen. I don't know if it will hold true though.
Thanks to the Wizard's fan that put this together.

Going to see crazyshoelover tomorrow!
When I see her…
And I'm gonna get to see her band concert!
And meet her friends!
And we're gonna have fun! :D
Until I leave :(
Anywho, I can't wait!
How will I be able to sleep with all this excitement!?
