Rain Today, Sunshine on the Way
Light rain in the valley today, heavier rain this afternoon.
The moisture plume is continuing to drop rain on northern California and will do so through today and into the early morning hours of tomorrow. High temperatures will be kept low as the clouds may have bright spots, but we won't see the sun all day. So far points in the valley have seen a couple hundredths to maybe a tenth of an inch of rain, but that will change this afternoon as the rain starts to organize with upper level support. The upper level trough will drop through the area creating a just enough lift to produce heavier showers and eventually even some thunderstorms. Expect any thunderstorms that do form to move through with the trough's axis and associate cold front tomorrow morning.
From Monday afternoon on things clear out and warm up very quickly. Once the skies clear on Monday temperatures will rise into the mid 60s and we'll see the continued rise into the mid 70s by Wednesday and Thursday. High pressure will facilitate the warm up and its stagnation over the west coast will allow parts of the valley to see temperatures nudging or even eclipsing the 80° mark by the end of the week. The biggest threat this week will be some breezy winds on Tuesday, but otherwise it'll be a great week to get outside.

See You At The Top!
Thoughts, articles, pictures, ideas and more about life and living it. Please be advised, the opinions expressed in these articles are not necessarily the same as ours, but we felt there is value in them; either good information, or a different opinion, to stretch your thoughts. For example: Einstein said, "Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics." This may or may not fit your picture, but knowing it, or knowing others feel or think this way, can be of value. Also in this section, check out the piece about our Universe. The Universe Defined. It goes from earth, to the moon looking back at earth, to the planets looking back at earth, to the milky way looking, and so on to the edge of the known universe. Then back down to the earth, to a plant, to a drop of water, then cells with in it, then DNA, all the way down to Quarks, the smallest known thing in the Universe. Quarks may be the building blocks to our goals. Science has found that our thoughts control and affect their behavior.
Thoughts about the risks involved with mountaineering, from Edward Whymper, who ascended the Matterhorn, along with others, for the first time it had been climbed: "Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end."— Edward Whymper —

When Uncommon Friends Foundation Executive Director Arlene Roth realized they needed help with the upkeep and maintenance of the Burroughs Home, she knew BB&T-Oswald Trippe and Company's signature volunteer effort, the Lighthouse Project, could offer assistance to her nonprofit organization.
As a result of Roth's request, BB&T-Oswald Trippe and Company selected the Uncommon Friends Foundation's Burroughs Home as this year's nonprofit agency for the Lighthouse Project whose purpose is to make a positive impact on the lives of people in need. The insurance agency hopes their efforts encourage others in the community to volunteer their time and support local organizations.
The project included painting and repairing of porches, balustrades and railings; updating the landscaping and plants; washing both the interior and exterior windows on the lower floor and interior windows on the upper floors; and polishing interior floors and wood railings. As the home is a registered historic home and museum, they worked closely with the local Historic Preservation Committee.
BB&T-OTC volunteers also assisted Uncommon Friends Foundation docent volunteers with 60 Edgewood Academy fifth- and sixth- graders during a school field trip to the Burroughs Home; helped guide students on a historical tour; shared the stories of the famous people who once occupied the home; asked questions during their lunch to help students make the connection between character education and the five Uncommon Friends. The company volunteers also helped the teachers with the character education lesson, setup and handouts.
"Our history is parallel to our future. BB&T-OTC was able to share the Uncommon Friends Foundation history with the students as well as refresh the interior and exterior of the home for future leaders to experience," said John Pollock, CIC, BB&T Insurance Services' Florida regional insurance president. "Making a positive difference in the community as a business and individual is a common goal of our staff."
"BB&T-Oswald Trippe and Company employees' dedication to improving the future of Southwest Florida is never ending," said Roth. "They embody the foundation's passion and goal of 'The best is yet to be!'"
BB&T associates have donated more than 200,000 hours in volunteer service and affected the lives of more than six million people as part of the BB&T Lighthouse Project, since its inception in 2009. Associates overwhelmingly voted to bring back the initiative this year. For more information about the Lighthouse Project, visit www.bbt.com/bbt/lighthouseproject/.
Built in 1901, the Burroughs Home is a registered historic property and one of the first mansions built in Fort Myers. Originally constructed in the north and transported to Fort Myers via rail and steam boat, the home was reassembled on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River in what was then known as 'millionaires row.' The Burroughs Home is the logical location for the Uncommon Friends Foundation for a very unique reason. Of the five uncommon friends – four spent time in the Burroughs Home visiting with each other – Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and Charles Lindbergh were all guests in the home. The fifth uncommon friend was Dr. Alexis Carrel. Each of these historic men and their wives were friends of local Fort Myers real estate developer James Newton, who wrote about his friends in the book, Uncommon Friends.
The Uncommon Friends Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1993, is dedicated to lifelong character building among today's youth and business leaders. Its mission is to promote character education in schools, business ethics in the workplace and historic preservation of the Burroughs Home and James Newton Archives. For more information, visit www.uncommonfriends.org.

The agency offers protection from the nation's leading insurance companies. BB&T-Oswald Trippe and Company has offices in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Holmes Beach, Miami, Naples, Ocala and Weston, Florida.

U.S. ships military equipment out of Afghanistan
The United States began its withdrawal from Afghanistan in earnest, officials said Monday, sending the first of what will be tens of thousands of containers home through a once-blocked land route through Pakistan.
Associated Press
The United States began its withdrawal from Afghanistan in earnest, officials said Monday, sending the first of what will be tens of thousands of containers home through a once-blocked land route through Pakistan.
The shipment of 50 containers over the weekend came as a new U.S. commander took control of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan to guide the coalition through the end stages of a war that has so far lasted more than 11 years.
The containers were in the first convoys to cross into Pakistan as part of the Afghan pullout, said Marcus Spade, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, meanwhile, faced his first headache just one day after taking command, after an Afghan government panel acknowledged that detainees taken off the battlefield by coalition and Afghan troops face widespread torture at the hands of local security forces - although it denied systematic torture in government-run prisons.
Dunford's predecessor, Marine Gen. John Allen, had urged the Afghan government to investigate allegations of detainee abuse.
Allen also had to deal with the delicate task of improving relations with Pakistan, which closed two key land routes from Afghanistan to its southern port of Karachi to all U.S. and NATO cargo for seven months. The Pakistani move came in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops at a post along the Afghan border in November 2011. Islamabad reopened the route after Washington apologized for the deaths.
During the closure of the Pakistan route, the U.S. had to use a longer, more costly path that runs north out of Afghanistan through Central Asia and Russia. The U.S. has also used that route to withdraw equipment - but not at the pace it wanted because of the length of the process. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said last year that the rerouting was costing the U.S. more than $100 million a month.
It's unclear what took the U.S. so long to begin withdrawing equipment through the Pakistan route, which runs south out of Afghanistan to the Pakistani port city of Karachi. Supplies have been flowing into Afghanistan since the route reopened in July 2012, and the U.S. signed a new deal with Pakistan governing the shipments that same month. There have been temporary disruptions at several points since then because of security concerns and strikes by truckers over compensation.
The abuse allegations are just some of the diplomatic land mines that Dunford will have to deal with as he guides the coalition through its final 23 months in Afghanistan. Most foreign combat forces will leave at the end of 2014, and those that remain will do so after separate agreements are made with the Afghan government.
U.N. complaints about the torture of detainees in Afghan facilities last year prompted the U.S.-led NATO coalition to stop many transfers of detainees to the Afghans, a key part of the transition process.
The planned transfer of the Parwan detention facility at Bagram from the United States military to the Afghan army has also been delayed, apparently because of administrative problems. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has for months demanded the full transfer of the facility, threatening not to sign a bilateral security agreement with the U.S. if the handover doesn't take place. That agreement is key to keeping military forces here after 2014.
The majority of the prison was handed over with much fanfare last September, but the two sides remained locked in a dispute over the fate of hundreds of Taliban and terror suspects behind bars. The United States is withholding the transfer of scores of inmates, reportedly out of concern that Afghan authorities may torture some or simply let some political detainees go for reasons of expediency, and no longer hold dangerous prisoners without charge.
Dunford also has to oversee the drawdown of about 100,000 foreign troops, including 66,000 from the United States, and make sure that the newly recruited and trained Afghan security forces are capable of taking the lead for their country's security in the spring.
Although Afghan security forces are almost at their full strength of 352,000, persistent violence and insider attacks against Americans and other foreign forces have raised concerns about whether they are ready to take on the fight by themselves.
But the issue of detainees is more immediate.
Transfers were halted in October, when the U.N. shared its preliminary findings with the military coalition.
"We have only stopped transferring some detainees to certain Afghan facilities," said Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for the international military alliance in Kabul. "The Afghan government has stated its commitment to upholding its human rights obligations and we remain committed to working together with the International Community to support them in their efforts to tackle this difficult problem. "
Issued last month, the U.N. report said Afghan authorities are still torturing prisoners despite promises of reforms. The country's intelligence service earlier had denied any torture in its detention facilities.
The U.N. report said more than half of the 635 detainees it had interviewed were tortured - about the same ratio found in its first report in 2011. It cited brutal tactics including hanging detainees from the ceiling by their wrists, beating them with cables and administering electric shocks.
Many rights activists have expressed concern that such abuses could become more common as international forces draw down and the country's Western allies become less watchful over a government that so far has taken few concrete actions to reform the system.
Abdul Qadir Adalatkhwa, head of the Afghan commission, told reporters that torture and beatings occur in the first stages of the arrest "but not while they are in prison."
"There is no systematic torture in Afghan detention centers," he said. "We didn't identify any private prisons during our investigation."
The Afghan panel also denied an allegation in the U.N. report that the Afghan government appeared to be trying to conceal the mistreatment by hiding detainees in secret locations during inspections by international observers.
Associated Press writers Kim Gamel in Kabul, Sebastian Abbot in Islamabd, Riaz Khan in Peshawar, Pakistan, and Matiullah Achakzai in Chaman, Pakistan, contributed to this report.

Crawler Construction Crane
Getting Started
Always use your imagination and be creative when building these kids crafts or any others. It's your creation, so be inventive when looking for building supplies — you just may be surprised! When building your project, experiment with new and different ways of putting it together. The most important thing is to have fun!
Find these or similar supplies!
• Milk Carton (one big, one small)
1. Get started!
This project is surprisingly simple to make. Start out by building your basic version. You can build your crane however you want! I used the toilet paper tubes as wheels, the milk cartons as the body, and the paper towel tube for my crane's arm. Play around with different ways of putting it together and experiment with different supplies.
2. Cover with tape or paint!
I decided to cover all my pieces ahead of time with some blue and orange painter's tape. If you are going to paint your crane, this would be the time to do so. You can also just use regular masking tape and color the crane parts with markers.
3. Make it swivel!
If you want to make your crane swivel, here is the easiest way: poke a hole through your milk cartons and slide in a disposable chopstick. Make sure the holes match up. Now your crane will have a cool swivel action!
4. Add the wheels!
Next glue on the toilet paper tubes to the bottom of the milk carton. I suggest gluing all the wheels together, then attaching them to the underside of the milk carton as one piece.
5. Add a boom!
I poked some more holes and added some chopsticks to give my crane some support rigging. I just used a little tape and some extra string to attach it all together. This is completely optional (but I think it looks cool!).
6. Make your crane claw!
I made my crane claw from an old soap box. Just cut out a zig zag pattern after you tape or paint it. Next you can punch a hole in the end of your paper towel tube and run a string to the soap box claw.
7. Put it all together!
The final step is gluing everything together. Make sure everything is where you want it first!
8. Finish Up!
The final step is the most fun... Decorating! You can add all kinds of details to make your crane look real. I added some pieces of tape for windows and doors, and rigged up the string and chopsticks to add the boom. Then I rolled up some paper and covered it with tape for the smokestacks in the back (cotton for the smoke). Use your imagination and try new ideas. Voila! Your Crawler Construction Crane is complete!

I'm Kelsey, and I live in a pretty town in Georgia called Athens. I used to live in Nashville, Tennessee, which calls itself the "Athens of the South." So I guess that means that Athens, Georgia is really just the "Athens of Georgia". I'm gonna go ahead and suggest that slogan to the folks over at the Chamber of Commerce.
Anyway, I'm 25, and a Montana native. I love Diane Keaton movies, short fiction and going on adventures.
I'm a newspaperwoman, first and foremost. I chose that word because I'm a traditionalist when it comes to all the things that make the news great, but I love dreaming up new ways to tell the stories I'm compelled to share. Some of my best work has happened only because of the generous individuals who trust me with their stories, their dreams, their struggles and their triumphs.
I've never wanted to do anything else but this.

Watch Out for Those Lame Ducks!Written by Chip Wood
More than 100 members of Congress who will be looking for work in January came back to their desks on Capitol Hill last week. What can we expect from this bunch of lame ducks? Probably nothing good. The more important question is: How much bad will they do before they go home for good?
When discussing a new study about liberals' and conservatives' favorite television shows recently, pundit Bill O'Reilly and his guests mentioned that liberals like works about "flawed people." If this is so, they will certainly appreciate Barack Obama's just published children's book, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters.
Go to most college campuses today and you will find religion a much neglected subject. At secular institutions, it is regarded as, at best, a refined taste, reserved for those nerdy types who seek fulfillment (one almost never hears of salvation) in another world. For the intellectually curious, there are courses in Comparative Religion, which are probably about as stimulating as courses in Anatomy and Physiology taught by Mrs. Grundy. Or Contemporary Theology, taught by Sister Wendy Trendy.
Anti-Semitism on American CampusesWritten by Sam Blumenfeld
Most informed Americans have heard of the town of Sderot in southern Israel that has been the target of Gazan rocket attacks for years. In fact, the reason why the Israelis mounted a full-fledged military operation against Gaza in 2009 was to stop these attacks on Sderot and other towns in southern Israel.
"How's all this hopey-changey stuff workin' out for ya?" asked an upbeat Sarah Palin, as her beaming, beauty-pageant smile put a happy face on the angry protests of her Tea Party crowds. Mama Grizzly, the hockey mom, has been waging a pit-bull rhetorical war against the Obama administration with the not-so-subtle hint that things would be better if we had only stuck with the Republicans.

In Memory of My Dad
My dad died a week ago and I found your poem great comfort, my dad was told on his own that he only had days to live. Me and my mum and sisters got to the hospital too late he had sadly passed …
Published: Nov 2008
Five Minutes
If I only had five minutes the day you passed away,
I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say.
I never got to tell you how much you mean to me,
Or that you were the best dad, better than any man could be.
The last time that I talked to you
I wish I would have known.
I would have said I love you,
and kept you on the phone.
If I only had five minutes,
the morning you passed away,
I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile.
I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you,
not even for awhile.
I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go
And tell you that I'll miss you,
more than you'll ever know.
But you were gone so quickly,
One last car ride you'd take.
Before you even knew it,
you were standing at heavens gate.
Now God has called upon you,
It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you,
And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven Dad,
Don't let me come alone.
The day the angels come for me,
Please be there to bring me home.
Dedicated to my dad Edward Hudak - died 8-29-08

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) - A Brooksville man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for participating in a fatal burglary that left him paralyzed.
A Pasco County judge approved 19-year-old Taequan Griffin's sentence Thursday after Griffin pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Prosecutors say Griffin and two other men went to a Shady Hills home in October 2008, intending to steal drugs and money. Barking dogs woke up the occupants, leading to a shootout that left 21-year-old Corey Evans dead and Griffin paralyzed.
As part of a plea deal, Griffin testified against 21-year-old Calvin Leon Washington Jr., who was sentenced to life last month for first-degree murder. Washington's cousin, 20-year-old Ricky Washington, previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 30 years.

1974. The UK faces economic crisis and a hung parliament. In a culture hostile to cooperation, it's a period when votes are won or lost by one, when there are fist fights in the bars, and when sick MPs are carried through the lobby to register their vote. It's a time when a staggering number of politicians die, and the building creaks under idiosyncrasies and arcane traditions. A political epic with humor, authenticity, and cliff-hanging suspense, This House uncovers the mayhem of Westminster politics.

Romney Debuts a Lighter Touch on Immigration
Published on Fri, Jun 22, 2012
IPC Senior Policy Analyst Michele Waslin was quoted in a TIME article covering Romney's stance on immigration:
According to a State Department report from November 2011, in fiscal year 2012 there are 322,636 people in countries around the world awaiting approval to join legal permanent-resident family members in the U.S. Many others who are eligible already live here, according to Michele Waslin of the Immigration Policy Center, some of whom are undocumented and legally awaiting a change in status.

The Golden Legend was written in Latin around 1260 by Jacobus de Voragine, the Dominican archbishop of Genoa. The text was quickly translated into many vernacular languages, including French. It is not clear where the translation found in this manuscript was made; however, the manuscript was copied in Genoa a mere thirty years after the text was originally composed. Because Jacobus continued to add to the work throughout his life, further research on the version contained in this manuscript may suggest whether this translation was made in northern Italy, or whether the text had circulated to another region to be translated there and return to Genoa.

Alameda, CA 94502-7070
Telephone: 510-337-6700

Our Reference: 2956459
July 25, 2001Manuel D. Lima, Owner
Manuel Lima Dairy
2618 Reilly Road
Merced, CA 95340
Dear Mr. Lima:
A tissue residue report received by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported the presence of an illegal drug residue in a dairy cow that originated horn your dairy. As a follow-up to USDA?s finding, our investigators performed an inspection of your dairy operation in Merced, California, on June 27, 2001. The inspection revealed serious violations of Section 402 and 501 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).
A food is adulterated under Section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act if it contains a new animal drug that is unsafe within the meaning of Section 512. On May 10, 2001, you consigned a dairy cow, identified with back tag number 3273 (USDA laboratory report number 406796), to be sold for human food through [redacted] USDA analysis of tissue samples collected from that calf identified the presence of the drug sulfadimethoxine in the liver at 4.42 parts per million (ppm), and in the muscle at 2.35 ppm. Presently, the tolerance level for sulfadimethoxine in the uncooked edible tissues of cattle is 0.1 ppm.
A food is adulterated under Section 402(a)(4) of the Act "if it has been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions . . .whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health. " As it applies in this case, "insanitary conditions" means that you hold animals which are ultimately offered for sale for slaughter as food under conditions which are so inadequate that medicated animals bearing possibly harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food supply. For example, our investigator noted the following:
1. You lack an adequate system for assuring that animals to which you administer medication have been withheld from slaughter for appropriate periods of time to deplete potentially hazardous residues of drugs.
2. You lack an adequate system for determining the medication status of animals you offer for slaughter. You are not keeping medication records specifying the identity of the drug administered, the dosage administered, and the pre-slaughter withdrawal time.
3. You lack an adequate system for assuring that drugs are used in a manner not contrary to the directions contained in their labeling or your veterinarian?s prescription labeling. For example, you failed to follow the labeled seven (7) day withdrawal time prior to slaughter for the cow treated with sulfadimethoxine (Albon).
4. You lack an adequate inventory system for determining the quantities of drugs used to medicate your cows and calves.
You are adulterating the drug Albon brand of sulfadimethoxine within the meaning of Section 501(a)(5) of the Act, in that it is a new animal drug within the meaning of Section 201(v) of the Act, and is unsafe within the meaning of Section512 of the Act since it is not being used in accordance with the labeled directions. The labeling for the .41bon requires a withdrawal time of seven (7) days after the last treatment. You are observing a withdrawal time of five (5) to six (6) days. Failure to comply with the labeled withdrawal time is likely the cause of the sulfadimethoxine residues in the calf you sold for slaughter.
Failure to comply with the label instructions on drugs you use to treat your animals presents the likely possibility that illegal residues will occur and makes the drugs unsafe for use. We request that you take prompt action to ensure that animals which you offer for sale as human food will not be adulterated with drugs or contain illegal residues.
Introducing adulterated foods into interstate commerce is a violation of Section 301(a) of the Act. Causing the adulteration of drugs after receipt in interstate commerce is a violation of Section 301(k) of the Act.
You should be aware that it is not necessary for you to have personally shipped an adulterated animal in interstate commerce to be responsible for a violation of the Act. The fact that you offered an adulterated animal for sale to a slaughter facility where it was held for sale in interstate commerce is sufficient to make you responsible for violations of the Act.
This is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations. It is your responsibility to ensure that all requirements of the Act are being met. Failure to achieve prompt corrections may result in enforcement action without further notice, including seizure and/or injunction.
You should notify our office in writing, within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to correct these violations and preclude their recurrence. If corrective action cannot be completed within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time frame within which corrections will be completed. Your response should address each discrepancy brought to your attention during the inspection and in this letter, and should include copies of any documentation demonstrating that corrections have been made. Please direct your reply to Russell A. Campbell, Compliance Officer, Food and Drug Administration, 1431 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, CA 94502.
Sincerely yours,
Dennis K. Linsley

One of the most basic policy decisions an agency must make involves whether to provide door-to-door, or only curb-to-curb service.

Prati (Vatican area) Villa Rental Photos and Description
In the heart of Rome, at a few steps fom St.Peter`s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel is a small, Liberty style, villa built in 1923 and recently restored. The villa ''The Pomegranate'', surrounded by a small garden, offers a quiet, elegant green oasis in the very busy center of Rome which provides a tranquil retreat to the tourist. From our two terraces, it is possible to enjoy the view of the ancient walls designed by Michelangelo and of the Vatican gardens. Our bed and breakfast is equipped with private bathrooms, TV, WIFI and heating/air conditioning. The breakfast is served either in our elegant, luminous sitting room, decorated with stucco-works, overlooking the garden, or outside in the terrace (for people who stay one week or longer, we do not serve breakfast, but provide all the food necessary for a self-prepared breakfast). For breakfast, natural and organic food is served. Please mind that, in order to reach the apartments from the street, there is a staircase of about sixty steps.
- Suitability:
- Events Allowed
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- pets not allowed
- smoking allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Gabrielle
I am a 33 years old journalist and I write for the English magazine Wanted in Rome. I attended the German School of Rome and later studied Political Science at the University of Rome. I am a very extroverted person and love meeting people from all countries.
Gabrielle purchased this villa in 2000
Why Gabrielle chose Prati (Vatican area)
Along with my parents Robert and Micaela, I decided to create a B&B inside our beautiful villa from the 1920s. Our B&B meets different requirements from usual B&B: we give a great importance to a personal approach with our clients, because we want to do our best to make their vacation unforgettable. We also provide them with all the information needed in order to make them feel at home.
What makes this villa unique
The location as well as the elegance and quality of our B&B. All the rooms have stucco-decorated roofs and elegant Italian pieces of furniture. We provide our clients with precious linens and cotton towels. Our homemade breakfast, served in China and silver ware, consists of biological marmelades with butter and toast, freshly baked pies, yoghurt, juices and an unforgettable Italian coffee.
Guestbook comments from the owner
I wanted to thank you again for allowing us to stay in your apartment during our time in Rome. I appreciate the fact that you could accommodate us after the first apartment fell through. It was somewhat a lifesaver.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in the future. Make a recommendation? Write a review? Whatever!
Again my thanks,

This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. All opinions are 100% mine. ------ My husband has gotten the same thing for Father's Day for as long as I can remember. And you know what? He LOVES it. It's his favorite thing, and he asks for it every. single. year. What is it, you ask? A Home Depot Gift Card!!! To him, it's like giving him the world. So many tools, not enough time. ☺ I like to pair a gift card with something fun, and because drill or router bits are always in high demand at our house, this year I packaged his gift card up with a set of drill bits and his favorite Reese's candy inside a cute pail. I LOVE it! It's really a win-win for everyone. I know he's going to love … [Read more...]

Father's Day Measuring Tape Gifts {FREE PRINTABLE}
Last year I made Father's Day printable for a measuring tape gift for the dads at our church, and it was HUGE hit! and since it had the date on it, I went ahead and updated it for this year! Whether you are giving to one dad or lots of dads, this is such a fun gift! You can read all the details in the original post about where I got the measuring tapes, and how I printed them. If you don't have the size of tapes I used, or can't put it on the top of the measuring tape, you can always print it on to white cardstock instead of sticker paper, and use it as a tag instead--just punch a hole and tie some twine or jute through it! To use the printable, you can either save the image below to … [Read more...]
Measuring Tape Father's Day Gift & Printable
Okay, one more Father's Day idea! This is really simple, but SO fun. Along with a couple of other girls that I work with at church, we wanted to give all the dads in our church a small gift. Enter in...the measuring tape! It's a staple in every workshop and toolbox, and we think they are going to love it! We're girls...we had to cute-ify it, right? ☺ Don't you love it? Okay, here are all the details... 1. The measuring tape came from Party City, and they were 99 cents each. My darling friend traveled to several stores to get as many as we needed, and she discovered that they might not be the same price at each store. She did get the prices matched, but I wanted to pass … [Read more...]
{d is for dad & g is for grandpa} paper sack cards & printable
I've had a bunch of requests for the Father's Day paper sack printables, and I'm happy to oblige. :) In case you didn't see the original post, these are based on my Paper Sack Mother's Day Cards, and you can find a complete tutorial HERE. I love these just has much when they're made for dads and grandpas, because I'm in love with the questions kids are able to answer. When I did this with the kids at church for the moms, I laughed and cried (silently, of course) as I read some of their answers. SO sweet. SO funny. I've included questions and printables for both dads and grandpas! Just like the Mother's Day Paper Sack Cards, these can be made for one dad or grandpa, or 100+! Great for … [Read more...]
I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home…Father's Day Printables
With Father's Day right around the corner, I wanted to come up with a fun idea for the kids at our church to give to their dads. I loved this Father's Day printable, and I took it and changed it up to make it work for 150+ kids. I'm in love with how it turned out, and it's darling whether it's for one dad or 500! Isn't it darling? I think the dads are going to love it! I'm going to have them each write a little note or draw a picture on the back to personalize it. So fun!! It's incredibly easy to put together...just print, cut out, distress edges (if you want to), then use a piece of double stick tape to attach a Hershey kiss. I used Cookies 'n Creme kisses, because the wrapper … [Read more...]
{chipboard key chain}
Y'all know how much I love personalizing anything and everything, and what could be better than a darling key chain? (I sound so Texan with that "y'all", don't I? ☺ ) As soon as I saw the new chipboard by Silhouette, I knew it would be the perfect way to make one! Seriously people, isn't that SO cute??!!! I just want to carry around my keys all day! The front has darling scrapbook paper embellished with my stamped initial, and the back features a picture of my kids, which I LOVE. (It's missing baby Caroline...time for an update!!!) These are super easy to make, and make the best gifts. Think Mother's Day, Father's Day (not as cute-sy, of course), birthdays, teachers, Christmas … [Read more...]
Paper Sack Mother's Day Card: a Child's Q&A
At my church, I get to work with the Primary children (kids aged 3-11), and I LOVE it. Mother's Day is just a few short weeks away, and this week I designed a super fun card that I think all their moms are going to love! I wanted to make a card where they could each express some favorite things about their mom. I was talking to one of my best friends this week, and she reminded me of an idea that I have actually loved for a long time...in fact, my oldest son wrote a card like it for me when he was in preschool, and it's one of my most treasured possessions. Asking a child questions about their mom--some funny, others serious--and putting it all together in a cute package was just what I … [Read more...]
{you're special…birthday jar}
One of my best friends in all the world had a birthday this week. And not just any birthday...the big 30!!!! I left her 6 months ago when we moved to Texas, and I was SO sad that I was going to miss this milestone. I knew I wanted to send her something to really celebrate this particular birthday, and let her know how special she is to me. So...I made her a birthday jar! It's just a simple pint-size mason jar, but it's what's inside that really counts. Tucked away inside the jar are 30 things (one for each year) about her that I love---special memories, characteristics, qualities, talents, and all those things that make a friendship what they are. I thought it was the perfect way to … [Read more...]
{fabric handled buckets}
I just love little buckets! They are one of my favorite ways to give a small gift, or package a yummy treat for a friend or neighbor. You can find them really cheap--my most successful places to check are in the Target one spot, or at the dollar store--both places they are only $1! Using fabric, or even ribbon, as a handle adds the most charming detail to any small pail or bucket ( LOVE those little knots on the sides), and it's an easy way to add in some color to match any holiday or season. This black and white polka dot is perfect for Halloween, but how fun would this be for Christmas, filled with yummy treats for neighbor gifts? Easter, Valentine's Day, 4th of July...they would be … [Read more...]
Handprint Aprons {Mother's Day}
Sometimes it seems like the years past faster than the days do, and capturing little handprints are like freezing a moment in time. When my oldest was small, I made an apron with his handprint on it for my dad for Father's Day. I still LOVE seeing his tiny little hand on that apron. ♥ This year it was grandmas' turn... I love how these Handprint Aprons turned out! This is an easy and super fun project---the hardest part will be trying to get the handprints in the right places with a minimum of wiggling! I love gifts that the kids can contribute to, and it created some really great family time. {SUPPLIES} canvas apron fabric paint (make sure it's washable!) fabric, matching … [Read more...]

830 Hennepin Ave.
Minneapolis, MN 55403
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Minneapolis (Downtown)
Last fall, Minneapolis hosted its first SlutWalk, a multi-city march/protest where folks are invited to put on high heels, fishnet stockings, short skirts, and other purportedly skanky evening wear for a short walk. The goal of the those marching was not to make it to a bar, but rather to bring attention to the prevalence of victim-blaming—sometimes called "slut shaming"—surrounding rape cases. The folks behind SlutWalk also rail against the lame idea that men can't control themselves when in the presence of women in sexy outfits. But in addition to the SlutWalk, people in the organization also provide support for survivors of sexual violence and community education. The group plans to raise funds this weekend for such services with SlutFreeze, a sex-positive benefit party. Performers include Smiling Lune Bellydancing and Bawdy Blue Burlesque Review, and the event will conclude with a drag show sure to put a sparkle in your eye before you hit the dance floor for some Saturday-night celebrating. For more info, visit www.slutwalkminneapolis.org. Proceeds benefit SlutWalk Minneapolis. 18+.

NOTE: This tutorial is outdated and has been replaced by the Image Sheets (Sprite Sheets) guide. Please refer to this guide for details and usage examples.
Category: Daily Build
New Game Center Request APIs
NOTE: This tutorial is outdated. Please refer to the gameNetwork documentation for current API specifications and usage examples.
Tutorial: Game Center Integration (iOS)
Since the Game Center feature is just an extension of the existing gameNetwork API, there's no need to go over every single available request you can send to Game Center—you can view the updated gameNetwork init(), request(), and show() documentation for that. So instead, I'll give you a quick overview of what you need to do on the "Apple side" of things (iTunes Connect), the Corona "setup" info, as well as the special considerations that need to be taken to ensure everything works properly in your app. iTunes Connect Link: Visit the iTunes Connect Portal The steps you're required to take on Apple's side of things are pretty straightforward, so I won't need to go too in-depth with this section. In short, you'll need to
Coming Soon: Native WebView and Video
Coming to a Daily Build near you: two new API's that will allow you to add brand-new native webViews and video objects to your project, and do some pretty crazy things with them as well. Sure, you were able to display websites using web popups and full-screen video using existing API's, but now you can move webViews and video objects, have multiple different instances of them up at once, or even add physics to them if that's your thing. (I wasn't kidding when I said crazy!) The API's will be called native.newWebView() and native.newVideo(), and they'll be available in the next daily build, so subscribe now so you can take advantage of these amazing new features as soon as they're ready. And in the meantime,
Implementing Facebook Single Sign-On
Those who read the previously published tutorial on uploading photos to Facebook are already familiar with the Facebook single sign-on functionality that's now available in Corona. But for those who missed the previous tutorial, and for the sake of having one-stop resource for helping you get single sign-on to play nicely with your app, we've decided to publish an entire tutorial dedicated to the topic. Since this is a cross-platform feature, this tutorial will apply to both iOS and Android (though admittedly, there is much less setup involved on the Android side of things). You'll also need to make sure you're using Corona Build 2011.707 or higher.
Using App URL Schemes in iOS
Have you ever wondered how apps get launched from other apps, whether it's a link you touched in Mobile Safari, or a button you pressed in another app? Well today, I'm going to show you how to do exactly that with one of the new features that recently came out in the Daily Builds. The technical term is "app URL schemes" and I already touched on how to do it (indirectly) during last week's tutorial on how to upload photos using the Facebook API. That's because Facebook single sign-on cleverly makes use of an app URL scheme to bring the user back to your app after authenticating. Note to Android Developers App URL schemes, which are accomplished via "intent filters" on Android, are implemented much
Uploading Photos to Facebook in Corona
Those who have been keeping a close eye on our Daily Build logs may have noticed a very nice "holiday surprise" we let out a bit early this year. As you probably already know, I'm talking about (the nearly-famous) build 2011.707—which is available to subscribers only at the moment via Daily Builds. For those who don't know, the build was packed full of "goodies", to include: Facebook single sign-on & photo uploading, front-facing camera support (Android), web popup performance improvements, custom URL scheme handling, remote push notifications (iOS), under the hood improvements, and the list goes on. Carlos really wasn't messing around in his "'State of the Corona' Address" blog post the other day! Unfortunately, I can't go over everything in a single blog post,
The Amazon/Kindle Fire Opportunity
Okay, this time we mean it! Starting with tonight's daily build, PRO subscribers will be able to build for the Amazon Appstore/Kindle Fire. (In case you missed the excitement, we blogged a little early due to a communication snafu yesterday. What happened? In a nutshell, there's been a flu going around and half the team is literally sick. So in the fallout, we've gotten a little OCD around here, quarantining desks, making public health/safety announcements to the team, and handing out Purell hand sanitizer bottles. But I digress…) There have been a lot of reviews about the Kindle Fire. And I agree it's not perfect, but two things stood out: 1. Ready for consumption. As soon as I connected the Fire to WiFi, my name
More Android Daily Build Highlights
If you've seen the Daily Build release notes lately, you'll notice that more and more Android features and fixes have been coming through at an alarming rate! Today I'm going to highlight some of the more prominent features and fixes that have been recently pushed-in, but I highly encourage you to go check out the latest Daily Build and see for yourself. There's a lot of great stuff, so I'm really just scratching the surface here, but here are the highlights nonetheless:
Multiple Lines in display.newText()
Taking a look at a few forum threads on the topic, it's plain to see that there's a definite need for built-in text-wrapping capabilities in Corona! Well today just might be you're lucky day, that is, if you're one of those people in need of it, because as of Daily Build 638, display.newText() now has the ability to wrap text, and it now properly supports the newline (n) character! (Be sure to see the Important Notes section at the end)

Robert Pattinson Smells For Dior
Things are on the nose, but in a good way, for Robert Pattinson who has reportedly signed a $12 million deal to become the face of Dior's line of men's fragrances.
According to E! News, the unexpected deal will see the scruffy Twilight star front the sleek, designer brand for the next three years.
Now here's hoping the adverts won't be quite as strange as Brad Pitt's recent monologue for Chanel!

5-at-10: Braves rolling, college football scan, and a chance to win Madaris Best of Preps Kickoff tickets
In 10 years, Johnny Manziel will be a money whipped steer job three jack give up artist...with all due respect to Mr. Jenkins. PS - Thanks for the tix. I'll take the Mrs. now that the little sportsfans have left the building...
5-at-10: Johnny Finger, College football lookaround, Braves and chance to win tickets
In 10 years, the best way to describe college football is "a disaster of biblical proportions. Real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria." and that's all I've got to say about that...
5-at-10: Braves lose again, Hard Knocks, Coaching changes, unbreakable records
After reading Junction Boys several years ago, I'm pretty sure Bear Bryant would be arrested today for treating his players the same way. I'm not excusing bad behavior by a coach. I'm just saying that it's a different world today. My guess is fans and players will put up with poor behavior if the coach is winning. Just sayin not judging. Headed to Louisville this weekend. I gotta hunch about Sergio...
5-at-10: SEC questions, Braves fall, Rushmore of double-initial stars
In alphabetical order-LT, MJ, TO, and ZZ Top.
5-at-10: UTC questions, Braves fall, NFL news and best baseball announcers ever
Jay - The week after vacation is tough. No sand, no co-colas with lunch, gotta wear shoes all day. For the mailbag - Can the Broncos win a Superbowl before Peyton Manning retires?
5-at-10: College football talking season continues, NASCAR's struggles, Happy Birthday Barry Bonds and Kramer
Still researching the theory of co-colas tasting better with toes in the sand. Running low on samples. With 2 days of research remaining do I restock fully or switch to the nectar of agave?
5-at-10: College talking heads, Braves fall,
In no particular order, Marge Simpson, Edith Bunker, Peggy Bundy, and Carmela Soprano.
5-at-10: McIlroy magic, Autonomy, Bye-bye Uggla, Moon walking
Jay-on the gulf coast confirming your theory about co-colas. So far I concur but I need a few more days to be sure. Sergio was one bad round by Rory away from a major championship. 6 under in the final round made Rory hear footsteps. I still believe he's got a major in him. Ready for football. High school, college, and nfl. For the mailbag. What are 5 things i need to watch for this fall?
5-at-10: SEC questions, part II, Uggla's price per hit and more Sterling
Jay- For the mailbag. I saw a highlight on Sportscenter top 10 plays earlier this week that featured a play from an ultimate frisbee tournament game. Got me thinking. What's your Rushmore of non-traditional sports?
5-at-10: God Bless America, home of the Braves — and Tom Cruise
Jay-left the office at 5:15 to start the holiday weekend. Heard the last 45 mins of Press Row but had to deal with a couple final calls on the way to the hacienda. I can't believe Risky Business didn't make the Rushmore list. For your consideration: All the Right Moves was made by Lea Thompson (not Cruise) A Few Good Men was made by Nicholson Rainman was made by Hoffman Top gun was made by Kelly McGillis
So, I submit that Tom Cruise is a decent supporting actor. Not necessarily deserving of a Rushmore That's about it.
