I use pictures that aren't my own from Photobucket. There are many that are free for use. I give credit for author and site.
As far as multiple pictures on Blogger. Each new one loads on top of the others. I then go into "HTML" and cut and paste them where I want going into preview to make sure they are correctly place. I'll be reading to see if anyone has an easier method.

Thanks J.J.
I must be going to Blog Hell. The photos I don't take, I get free from Google images. Eeep!

I´m with Alix, Google images, almost always!
And when I want super big fotos on my blog, I upload them first to "Webshots". There I have the option of choosing which size I want. I copy the html code and paste it into my post and "violá".......large photo! :)

pictures?? Pay?? Who knew? lol!
I had a revelation when I read your comments the other day! I realized that I don't care what other people think about the way my blog looks, or how my music sounds. I do it for me. I don't expect everyone to want to see my fishing picture or like AC/DC. If you like it, you like it, if you don't, you don't!

My photos and graphics are almost all from Google images. The rest are photos that either hubby takes or I take with our little digital camera. I did find lots of interesting new info in this post and I can see I will coming back often to re-read and learn as I go along. Thanks for all the hard work to put this together, Joanna.

I'm so glad a l had a little tid-bit of information that just might make somebody smile today...
and what you're doing with questions and answers is SO great for all of us...I've already learned something new just now by one of your commenters...copying and pasting my html photos to move them on my post....duh, I should have thought of that !!!

Love the tips! Now do you know why I can't copy and paste anymore on my blog? Just kidding my friend. I will have to take some time to figure this one out on my own.
As always it is fun to hop on over for a visit. Enjoy and have a golden day! xoxo

This is interesting! The photos I use that aren't mine I get from Googel Image. I have heard from a few people that the larger photos in my photo blog load slower but others I've asked tell me they have no trouble, so it must vary depending on your computer.
I click and drag my photos to the position I want them in, once I have them all loaded.

Thanks for collecting these tips and links.
I try to include a photo in each post. If we just wanted text we could go back to BBS's and dial-up (if you don't know what that is - you're weren't on in the 90's).
Most photos are mine own and I have written to bloggers to ask usage permission. I'm no lawyer so this is just my advice. I use pictures from the Chicago Tribune often and credit with a link back. I think news items are treated differently.
Also look for Creative Commons which is the legal way of sharing. Check out their .org site.
Wikipedia has photos free for use too.
One site I used for collecting and hosting my pictures in the beginning was imageshack - DON'T use. I stopped after too many times of pictures not loading anymore.
About picture sizes - we need to talk pixels because large, medium, etc. mean different things to everyone. 400px wide is a good size for posting.
One last suggestion, JJ, if you add more tip posts like this and I hope you do, please create a separate blog where you can collect all the posts. It would be nice reference site.

I use mostly my own photos and those of my son. If I have to take something from online, I try to find something through Wikipedia. I have snagged things that I'm sure I shouldn't have at times, but I try very hard not to do that.
I am not very good at anything computer related, so my picture sizes are just what blogger offers. I don't have the time or interest in learning.
I do like photos in my blog and others though. I'm a very visual person.
Thanks for all of the tips. This is awesome. Maybe I will sit down long enough to learn something!

I'm interested in 'How To'...for everything. Great topic, I'll stay tuned for more.
- November 11, 2009 at 9:36 AM
- Liz said...
You should never use someone else's photo unless you have their permission and/or have paid them. As someone else mentioned, you can look for photos with a Creative Commons license that allows for sharing, that would be considered having the photographer's permission. If I use a photo that isn't my own on my blog, I do a search in Flickr for photos that have a CC license.
For an easy way to move your photos around in Blogger, in the edit post mode hit "edit html" and then you can cut and paste the html code for the photo to put it where you want it - much easier than clicking and dragging!

Feel like I should shut up and learn. I'm a total newbie at all of this...and I'm always asking people questions who do this blog thing really well. Love that you are asking the questions in this forum. I use iphoto for my own pictures...although I never love how my personal pictures come out on my blog. I use istockphoto.com to purchase pictures. Same shpeal as your source. I prepay for x number of points that = x number of pictures. It's easy and cheap, and is great for breaking up long posts to keep people reading. Come over for a visit. Holly at lifelaughlatte

I love this new feature! I'm sure I'll learn lots of things I never knew how to do on Blogger.
I don't usually use photos that aren't my own, so I don't have any advice on that.
For the copyright symbol, the HTML code is & copy, with no space between. When you type them together you get ©.

- Matty said...
As a techincal idiot, I absolutely love this new idea of yours. I've already learned a thing or two from the comments.
The pictures I use are either my own from my computer, or from google images. If I want to use a picture from another blog, I always ask their permission first.

Love the post...I have always wondered how to have the larger pictures on blogger other than what they offer.
I'm with a couple other people..I do a google search for a pic I'm interested in. Most of them say fine if you give credit...others are blocked and aren't available. To move pictures on the blog, I've always dragged them to where I want...also have used the copy and paste in the edit html portion too. I'll be interested in knowing if a lot of photos slow a blog load time.
Great series!!!
- November 11, 2009 at 1:34 PM
- Jeanie said...
There are a lot of free photos out there that are legal to use. Search for "public domain pictures" or "public domain images". Sometimes sights have both free images and those that you can use for a small fee.
Love that you are sharing all this information, Joanna.
- November 11, 2009 at 1:47 PM
- kys said...
I love, love, love this series! Thank you! I'm an idiot at all techy things. I use Google images or my own photos. I don't use pictures often enough because I find myself spending too much time searching for the right one.
- November 11, 2009 at 1:52 PM
- Hilary said...
1) & 2) I use only my own photos which just like anyone else's will appear on Google images if someone does an appropriate search. This does not mean that they are up for grabs. They're still my images just as every other photo out there belongs to someone else. Without permission and attribution, it's considered plagiarized.
3) I can tell you on the Mac keyboard that the © is produced by hitting the option key and then G.
4) Yes, if they're large and there are many (like I have) it will load slower than a text-only or smaller photo post.
5) There are a couple of ways to do this without going into the bowels of HTML. This works best in FIrefox for me (as opposed to Safari).
A) Go into compose mode when all of your photos are on the page and select, cut and paste the image where you want it.
B) Change your editor setting (by selecting Dashboard - Settings. Then scroll to the bottom of the page to the second to last option. You'll see that your blog is probably on "old editor." Click on "Updated editor" and then save settings. In this newer editor you can dictate where you want the photo to arrive when uploading them to your post. Wherever you put your cursor, the photo will land. You can still rearrange them later as outlined in A above. You can also change the size and justification of the photos right there on the page.
6) I'll give it some thought. :)
Love that you're doing this, Joanna. You're a gem!

Wow, a lot of great info here. Thanks to you for providing a space for us to learn. I use my own pictures and Windows Live Writer. With their toolbar the pictures can be changed to any size you wish, cropped and several other editing tools are also available. I use a lot of photos and found this easier to use than the blogger template. I have much to learn and look forward to your advice to come! Thank you!

F-35 apologists unite ! Stop Dave; I'm afraid
A few points:
It is hard to claim, "there is nothing to see here" when the DOD F-35 program boss--Admiral David Venlet--states the original F-35 business plan (concurrency of enormous proportions) was a "miscalculation".
It is difficult to claim flight testing progress is great (it has improved) when it is compared to what we expected from the 2007 test plan.
The "hot spots" comment by Venlet can have a few meanings. One is that there are all kinds of predictions of fatigue. Interesting because there is so little fatigue testing done. The other "hot spots" Venlet could be referring to is all of the negative discovery he is yet to uncover. He is still on his own "learning curve".
All this points to a significantly lowered production of aircraft because the F-35 design is still unstable. You cannot have production "learning curve" until there is a stable design. Which is why anyone silly enough to want an immature F-35 this early will have a hard time finding production slots at 30-some per year.
Pilot training is significantly delayed. Simply because what they want to fly is nowhere close to being ready. That is a lot of resources tied up in Eglin AFB, doing other things than real training.
This produces several strategic risks. Allies are not going to get a credible air defense solution because the U.S. has lost its way. Soon, it will have no credible modern air domination fighter aircraft in production. If one is worried about emerging threats that are to exist during the alleged life of the F-35, a handful of F-22s may or may not solve the problem.
Industry is starting to approach the waterfall. Any SME that had their business plan tied to the alternate engine will shed those employees and resources. The promised volume of orders are missing by a large margin. For instance, LRIP-5 was supposed to be 120 aircraft. Now it is 30-some. SMEs could end up like Australia's Production Parts. Corporate carcasses.
There will not be 2400-some F-35s. Maybe some news sources will stop quoting those that spout such nonsense.
Now for some "life imitates art". Our "Dave" has a problem. If grown-ups don't start making some serious decisions that can minimize damage to the defense outlook of the U.S. and its allies, then when the drastic decision comes to kill the F-35 program, it may look something like this.
15 comments:
I have yet to see what defense cuts the Europeans are going to have but this isn't looking good. Germany has been cutting serious stuff, A400M, Tiger, even Tranche 3B could be in jeopardy...if Germany agrees to bailout Southern Europe, do you think German taxpayer isn't going to wonder why Italy or Spain need carriers and stuff like fancy jets a la F35B since Germany which is a heck a lot powerful doesn't???
If Germany takes some form of soft control of budgets or impose their views on defense across those southern countries or anyone needing their money, those countries are going to say bye-bye to a lot of toys....All those orders are looking more and more like pie in the sky...
- December 6, 2011 at 9:40 AM
Great blog post.
The Program syndrome-creep developing YoY is alarming. Each proceeding procurement year is being perceived as a minor one-off hit to production, which will simply be made up on the back-end.
The fatal flaw in that illusion is obvious: Lost operational TACAIR recapitalization is rapidly compounding every year to a point where clearly no hitting the lottery could possibly even come close to making up lost deterrence on the back-end.
Such risk-making is a growing strategic threat to balance of power and credible deterrence.
Tragically, the reality of the hollow force structure won't be realized until they trip over it.
The biggest irony of the whole thing is that the most fanatical Anti-Plan-B-because-they-aren't-5th gen camp, is now the loudest proponent of the extended 2k hour SLEP for old F-16s operating through 2030 as being just 'fine'. Typical.
- December 6, 2011 at 9:53 AM
Regarding what Europe will afford... as you probably know already, the European Commission (EC) will be the model for some form of imminent centralized EU fiscal policy setting and enforcement entity for Euro Zone.
The EU charter will be revised soon to enact such radical fiscal adjustments by members of the zone.
Just today, S&P warned the 17 members that every one is effectively on a watch-list going-forward for a ratings down-grade if fiscal house isn't dramatically improved.
IMF will be supervising various Euro members indefinitely during their respective budget processes.
I think it's safe to say that Euro sales of F-35 will be further delayed and further reduced in size even more than what may be considered as today's worst case.
The Austerity environment about to hit the zone over the mid-term, while heading into recession next year, will make political reality of any serious F-35 acquisition next to impossible.
All very unfortunate, but something which should have been avoidable and something which should have been better estimated.
- December 6, 2011 at 10:08 AM
When it comes to the "hot spots", I am a bit on the fence. Are these spots just areas of concern which might require rework or something more dramatic like complete redesign? Are they just areas to keep under increased inspections?
The one thing that really is concerning and makes one wonder (AGAIN!) is why F35C hasn't even started it's fatigue testing? With carrier operations, isn't it the version which might have the most problems?
Oh, what will all these changes do to JSF vaunted communality of airframes? Will all the fixes be the same, no matter what version?
- December 6, 2011 at 11:16 AM
- ELP said...
Like you say, it would be nice to know more about the hotspots but there are a lot of variables; included that fatigue testing is in its early stages.
- December 6, 2011 at 11:37 AM
Europe: I think everybody will politely say, we are delaying our purchase 3-5 years. Economy is hard. Starting with Italy, Greece, Spain.
(This is assuming there is no oil shock due to current raising tension in the middle east.)
Then we are quickly approaching US budget implosion. They are in kicking can down the road mode right now, but it can't pass that much longer. (unless the next elections significantly change the composition of congress. Otherwise, it's continuing the deadlock. After that Dollar crisis. Same as in europe hitting US.)
We are talking 3-5 time span here, not 10-12 years.
by 2014-1-2016, plenty of F-35 competitors start showing in the market.
So F-35 start to look like F-20/Tigershark.
- December 6, 2011 at 12:32 PM
to ANON:
I know what you mean by comparing F35 to F20 in terms of orders but dynamically, don't even go there! F20 with JSF systems would be kick ass, sure, no LO but it sure would move and be affordable.
- December 6, 2011 at 1:59 PM
- Horde said...
On the matter of "hotspots" and "cracking", it was back in 2004 when APA first determined via standard parametric analysis and risk based assessments that the deficiencies, defects and problems now being "discovered" in the structure were almost certain to arise.
This was not only in the secondary and tertiary parts of the airframe but, more importantly, in primary structural elements.
It was also determined these would start to become apparent quite early in the testing, within the first 1,000 hours of the 16khr fatigue test programs.
Given the testing doctrine and procedures being followed, this equates to about 500 real flying hours (or about 6% of the aircraft's 8,000 flight hour design life).
It is no mere coincidence that the fatigue testing of the STOVL F-35B JSF had been halted at 6%.
(See Dave Venlet's statements in the interview with AOL Defense).
- December 6, 2011 at 4:56 PM
I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it.
My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it.

Let's not forget that a certain number of "mistake jets" has always been anticipated, and planned for. A couple of years ago JPO did some numbers argueing for an accelerated ramp-up: $13bn saved vs. less than $2bn cost of retrofitting about 350 jets at 5 million each. It was just under $3 million in retrofits for each F-22, so this seems to be in the ballpark.
B. Bolsøy
- December 7, 2011 at 9:59 AM
To B.B.in Oslo:
Nice to hear again from you. I don't disagree that there is going to be some concurrency but 350??? We might even have more than that, 30 to 40 jets a year for the next couple of years appears to be almost a certainty. The huge ramp up that ELP shows the graph of all the time just isn't going to happen.I think a fair possibility is 48 a year and maybe that might be the maximum output. :(
Kind of makes me wonder, if final DoD number comes down to 1000 JSFs, well a third of your fleet needs to be refit straight out of production to be fit for combat,I am sure LMT is going be happy! Isn't that how we ended up with a fleet with in a fleet for F22?
When it comes to F22, didn't USAF sign up for another huge contract for upgrades? I guess, one could argue that those are new-new upgrades but F22 is still relatively young and for it's price tag, we shouldn't have to install a whole bunch of new stuff, I somehow doubt that we will need just $5 million dollars to bring those 350 JSFs up to standard. I have a nagging feeling that in a few years these 350 JSFs will also need some "upgrades". Why they would need "upgrades" after just coming off their production line,hmmm, beats me. Oh yeah, they only had a couple of "hot spots" that needed fixing.

I wonder how much the Chinese would pay someone to help sabotage the most important defense acquisition today.

Concurrency sounds great when they know what they are doing. With 3 versions and a lot of question marks, that doesn't seem to be the case.
I suppose that estimate came from the same people that got us into this mess. General Davis was so value-added wasn't he?

B. Bolsøy, good to hear from you also. Hope you're well.
As far as anything JPO 'estimated' 2 years ago... unfortunately it needs to be thrown out the window. Such prior assessments are now inaccurate and don't reflect realistic and modern dynamics facing the Program.
p.s., as a personal advocate for the JSM/NSM system, has there been any discussion or consideration to study it's integration into a nEUROn or Taranis type platform?
- December 8, 2011 at 4:45 PM
Geogen, nico
Thank's for the kind words. Hope you are well too.
Geogen. Absolutely. But even if that outdated JPO estimate is off by a huge margin there is still a very real potential of net cost savings for an accellerated ramp-up. Of course Venlet, being conservative, might not think so, but it is still a fundamental part of the program's business plan.
Nico. The ramp-up will eventually happen. Where it settles is an open question, but it will have to in order to reduce the unit price to reasonable levels. Exports and NATO's future operational concept largely depend on it. Take Norway, as a small example. Leaks from the Defence Chief's long term recommendation calls for reducing the fleet of P-3 MPAs partly because of the F-35's new capabilities (the NH90 heli ASW capability is another factor). This, despite Norway's economical zone in the Atlantic increasing by ten percent or 100.000 sq. miles in 2009 meaning a substantially larger area to patrol and survey.
In other words, the F-35 is at the centre of Norwegian and allied operational doctrine and planning. And keep in mind that the unit cost is driven more by the number of produced jets per year than the planned number of jets over the program's life span.
Speaking of upgrades. Most of that will be software block upgrades and incorporation of new weapons. System-wide hardware upgrades are not planned for the forseable future, but probably will be part of a mid-life upgrade. Of course, nothing is written in stone. Ifa requirement comes along the JSF partner nations might vote to upgrade the hardware too.
Geogen. Interesting thought. However I'm not aware of any talks of integrating the JSM on the nEuron or Taranis. KDA is pretty much focused on the F-35 at the moment, but other platforms have been mentioned in the past (fighters, MPA, heli).

As everything seems to be made in China now, this is just another thing you will have for a few years and probably throw away. It works and is convenient since it is filter-less. However, it started to lose a motor bearing after a month of operation and make a noise for the first few minutes of start up. Repair center says it is normal and still under warranty so let it break in and the noise will go away. I know that isn't the case. This thing didn't make a shreeking sound for the first 2 weeks of use and then it started to out of nowhere. But I wasn't going to get into a big thing with this guy. I have come to a realization that things like dehumidifiers, humidifiers, and window fans are just made so poorly that they are considered throw away appliances. My 2 star rating is because I really can't say I have had better or worse experiences with other item like this. Just par for the course I suppose.

I would like to use this product but I can't unscrew the cap to fill the tank with water. It is on so tight. If I decide to try another on the shelf they'll be opening it for my inspection to be sure I can unscrew that cap before I take it home.

I really like this warm mist humidifier. I have tried the cool mist units but they didn't supply enough moisture in the air for my liking. This is a very nice unit that I would recommend to anyone.
Broadview, IL

I like the Kenmore warm mist very much, it helps to keep the room(s) nice and warm especially during the extreme cold weather we are experiences now. Secondly, it help your skin also, your skin does not get real dry, thereby eliminating the use of body and face lotions. Also it contributes to a peaceful night sleep with fewer blankets on the bed. The warm mist is easy to clean and maintain. I'm loving it

I needed this light equipment because I heard about how useful it is for a health condition, and finally I found it in the store nearby. I was so happy to offer to myself a Christmas gift thru this. It is really helpful for breathing problem and warm a little bit my room too. Very easy to clean, can work for 24 hours, you don't need to worry about. It saves energy by auto shut off .... I like it particularly because its maintenance is simple. It completes the comfort I miss in your room during the cold season. Love it!

8 Facts That Prove Our Govt. Is Not Going Broke
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Pete Peterson, the billionaire former private equity mogul, is quietly funding a noisy bus tour to whip up debt hysteria across the land. The "Ten Million a Minute Tour" headed by the Peterson Foundation's former CEO, David M. Walker (and featuring such economic soothsayers as Alan Greenspan and Ross Perot) will end this week in Washington, DC after traveling coast to coast to alert America about the myriad of alleged dangers posed by government debt and deficits.
Really, it should be called the "Million an Hour" cavalcade because that's about how much Peterson and company made, in part, through obscene tax loopholes designed for private equity firms and hedge funds. If there really is a debt problem, then Peterson and his fellow tax-evading financial moguls have contributed mightily to it.
But America does not face a debt crisis. Nor are we likely to face one in the next 100 years. In fact, we are the last country on Earth that needs to worry about its public debt.
What's really behind the debt histrionics is a relentless effort by these Very Important People to use a trumped-up crisis to shred the social safety net and bring forth their bleak vision of a dog-eat-dog society where government provides for no one (except the super-rich). Unfortunately, many liberals are also buying into a "debt crisis" that doesn't exist.
It's time to inoculate ourselves from deficit hysteria. The first step is recognizing that virtually everything we read and hear about government debt and deficits is misleading, manipulative or just plain wrong. So, here's your handy guide to the eight biggest lies.
But first, some basic definitions and facts:
Deficits are how much the government budget goes into the red in a given year. The red ink is covered by the sale of government bonds to investors here and abroad.
The national debt is the total amount of what the U.S. owes on those government bonds. If we have deficits year after year, then the debt gets larger year after year.
The projected deficit for this fiscal year is over $1 trillion.
Our total government debt is more than $16 trillion as of Oct. 1, 2012.
1. Isn't it extremely dangerous to have such a large government debt?
Supposedly, the danger point comes when investors no longer will buy our debt at reasonable interest rates because they fear we won't pay it back. Are we there yet? Are we getting close?
Let's start with a look at debt as a percentage of our nation's annual economic activity (gross domestic product or GDP). The chart below shows our national debt as a percentage of GDP hit an all-time high of 121 percent during the depths of World War II and recently began sharply rising again in the aftermath of the Wall Street crash. In 2011 the debt/GDP percentage reached 102.9 percent. Most forecasts suggest it is now leveling off.
We can also compare ourselves to other large economies. Here's a list from the International Monetary Fund.
Government Debt as a Percentage of GDP, 2011
United Kingdom
United States
What's going on here? First off, China's percentage is artificially low because it buries a good deal of public debt in opaque provincial and local government loans and land giveaways. And then you have Japan. Why isn't everyone screaming about Japan's debt? Because investors consider its economy to be strong, steady and safe. They're happy to lend to Japan at very low interest rates. And where is the safest haven in the world? Here in the USA. Investors are willing to lend us money at almost no interest rate at all.

Elegant! This piece will add elegance to your outfit, it is simple and lays light around your neck. The clasp is a bit on the cheap side; however it's not a heavy piece and should hold up fine. The gold one compliments the faux pearl bracelet. June 30, 2014
The item has classy simple look but the clasp is a bit cheap and hard to use April 30, 2014
Very nice necklace. I like how this necklace is distinctive - more interesting than your basic pearl necklace. Works with pretty much anything. The clasp is good quality, too. April 23, 2014
Love This Pearl Necklace!! I love this necklace with the pearl. It has the knotted appearance on the chain, and It looks great with a pencil skirt and boat neck top, but what I love best is it looks just as great with jeans and a cardigan. I have always loved the quality and appearance of The Limited Jewelry. April 15, 2014
Pretty necklace I really like this necklace. I have it in gold, and the gold is a good quality. It doesn't look cheap. I searched for this style of pearl necklace for quite a long time before finding it here, and I am really pleased with the purchase. The pearl is about the size of a cranberry or blueberry, not like a pea, if that helps anyone visualize it. November 21, 2013
Nice, delicate piece I got this for my mom, and I was afraid when I saw it that the big pearl wouldn't look good with the dainty chain. When she put it on, though, it looked great! The pearl looks a bit cheap, but the chain the looks very nice. The chain is so thin that I'm afraid it will break easily, but it's held out for two months so far. March 21, 2013
Very sweet I love this necklace. It is very sweet and simple, but dresses up just enough for work. I adore it. February 6, 2013
Pearl is big but still looks good I bought this item for my mom as a gift, and was afraid she wouldn't like it when I saw how big the pearl was. But when she put it on, it looked really nice. She wore it with a button-up shirt, so I think the presence of the collar and neckline helped. The chain is really beautiful. January 18, 2013

Nice rod for the money
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Really nice rod. Contrary to what some people say, you don't need to spend $1 Billion (with a B) on a fly rod. I stand true to the old saying "It's not the arrow, its the Indian". I use this in a 6 wt as my all around bass/trout rod. If I am feeling frisky, I even take it out for the Steely's. Fast action that is easily castable with good technique. No need to break the bank to get out there and enjoy time on the water. 5 stars for this beauty.
William K
Solid price, better performance
After not knowing a ton about Redington in the fly fishing world, I've had the great opportunity to use quite a few of their rods. This one, the Voyant, is definitely a favorite in the quiver. If you are looking for a rod to fish explicitly with dry flies, this one is hard to beat for the price. Fast action teamed with a very smooth release provides you with at least a chance to be successful...the rest is up to the user. One thing I had trouble with was nymphing with heavier rigs. The fast action on this rod would fire before the rig had a chance to come around. I eventually figured out a solid system, it just took longer.

The unfortunate occurrence when a prison inmate drops the soap in the shower. As they bend down to reach for the soap, they are forcibly penetrated in the ass by a horny, desperate inmate behind them. Thats why you shouldn't go to jail, kiddies!
Inmate: Ooops! I dropped the soap! I sure hope a big, strong, black man doesn't do me up the butt! Teehee!
*Bends down to grab the soap in a seductive manner and gets buttsexed*
Inmate: mmmm, dropping the soap is so fun!

BOONVILLE, N.Y. (WKTV) - A Boonville man is facing charges after he allegedly made nearly 200 calls to his estranged girlfriend just a week after the couple was involved in a domestic dispute, according to police.
Boonville Police say 29-year-old Michael Gerace was arrested on January 3 and was given a court order to stay away from and not contact his girlfriend, 42-year-old Heather MacDougall.
Gerace allegedly continued to call and text MacDougall, making threats and demanding she return his calls, authorities say.
Gerace even made contact with MacDougall while she was filing the complaint. When police answered his call, Gerace asked police to forward his messages to her.
Gerace was arrested again on January 7 and was changed with aggravated harassment and criminal contempt.
In January of 2012, Gerace was arrested for badly damaging a vehicle owned by his estranged ex-wife during an argument.

House gas tax backer admits his 'timing was unfortunate'
How to get a fuel tax refundWhat's eligible: Gas purchased for off-public-road use of boats, snowmobiles and recreational vehicles.
Show the proof: Save receipts from gasoline purchases.
Download the form: Go to www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/administration/roadtoll/documents/RT123.pdf
Do the math: Calculate gas used on public roads and gas used off public roads. Figure refund at 18 cents per gallon. Refund must be at least $10, which is tax on 55.6 gallons of gas.
Send it in: Attach invoice and evidence of payment. Deadline is April 15 for previous year.
An initial vote in the House had been scheduled for today, but Speaker Terie Norelli cancelled today's session based on forecasts of heavy snow. The gas tax vote was put off until next Wednesday.
Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, sent an email last Friday referencing money from the gas tax that will be used for the Fish and Game Department, the Department of Resources and Economic Development's trail fund and the state's general fund.
Critics suggested the statement showed that tax supporters wanted higher taxes for more than just highways and bridge work.
Former House speaker Bill O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, was quick to criticize Campbell for his remark, calling it contrary to Campbell's "public posture that 'every dollar' will be going to roads."
"My comments were taken wrongly by some people," Campbell said in response to questions from members of the House Public Works and Highways Committee, which he chairs.
Campbell is the chief sponsor of the legislation, which would raise the state gas tax 15 cents over four years. The state constitution provides that money that goes into the highway fund can only be used for road projects. A 1967 state Supreme Court opinion ruled the gas tax is really a
toll paid for use of state roads, and not a tax.
The advisory opinion for the Legislature said since the state sets money aside to refund taxes collected on fuel used in off-road vehicles, that money is never part of the highway fund. Refund money that goes uncollected can be used for any purpose.
People who use gas in snowmobiles, boats and other off-road equipment can get a refund on the tax, but it has to be at least $10 - 55 gallons at the current rate - and they have to file a form found on an obscure page on the Department of Safety website. (See Page A1.)
Not a gift
Campbell said his email was intended to let the chairs of committees overseeing budgets that get unclaimed refund money know what to expect, since higher taxes would mean more money set aside for refunds.
Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire said Tuesday that Campbell's comments "demonstrate his commitment to big government and a major disregard for New Hampshire taxpayers."
"Tax dollars are not a gift to the government. Tax money generated in this state represents the hard work of New Hampshire families and businesses and for Rep. Campbell to refer to taxes raised as 'bonus monies' is egregious and insulting," said Corey Lewandowski, AFP-NH state director.
Campbell accused the tax foes who seized on his comments of trying to stir up a controversy to take attention away from what he says is the need for money to fix roads and bridges.
"It doesn't change the issue; the issue is our roads and the issue is bridges. They are in bad, bad shape," Campbell said. "If we don't fund them, we are going to have a catastrophe on our hands; those who want to pick at anything will find some reason to be against it."
House Republican leader "Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, suggested the back-and-forth between Campbell and tax foes sharpens the debate, but may not affect the way members of the House vote.
"I'm not sure it will change any minds; it might reinforce some people's positions who are thinking one way or the other," Chandler said. "He thought that was the best way to defend his bill and talk about it - it was probably a poor choice of words."
Public Works Committee Vice Chair John Cloutier, R-Claremont, said it was all a tempest in a teapot.
"Opponents are looking for anything they can use to discredit this bill, so they just jumped on it," Cloutier said. "Any one of us could make a mistake like that. They jumped on it - they're out to kill this bill."
Committee member Peter Ramsey, D-Manchester, who questioned Campbell about the controversial statements during a public session of the committee, said he wanted to satisfy himself that there was no plan to spend money touted as being for roads and bridges for some other purpose.
"If there was going to be a diversion, I would vote against it," Ramsey said.
The first vote on the gas tax bill is now scheduled for next Wednesday. Under House rules, since the bill raises a tax or fee, it must be referred to the Ways and Means Committee before receiving a final House vote.

ETA: The post I want to delete is in the "Testing Area." Are those un-deletable? I checked posts I made in "Fan Fests" and "The Edge" and the delete option is there. Also, it doesn't look like you can delete "Feedback" posts either. Is this correct?

I like Mad Men, but like you said its slow, but very well written. Breaking Bad is a little bit faster pace but really great story. Cranston (Walter) is amazing. I haven't seen Game of Thrones, don't know much about it. I've been using Netflix to catch up on my BBC shows this summer which has been awesome.
For Trell: Breaking Bad is basically about a high school teacher who goes into the meth buisness when he finds out he has cancer and his transformation to a badass mother*******

Sponsorship of Start Up Donut and Marketing Donut is without doubt one of the best decisions we've taken this year.

Altogether an immensely worthwhile partnership.
Jason Sullock
Working with Atom has helped Dell extend its reach to the small business community. Sponsoring the IT Donut has positioned our brand alongside helpful business content and shown Dell as a thought-leader and key supporter of small businesses. In addition to the sponsorship, we've had the benefit of using a variety of the Donut content on our small business advice centre and in our newsletters. The team at Atom clearly understand the needs of small businesses and their flexible approach to working directly with Dell and our agencies has helped achieve our aims. Overall it's been a successful partnership and we're extremely pleased with the results.
Andrew Miller - Dell Small Business Marketing Manager
As a forward-thinking firm, we wanted to be ahead of the game and by gaining exclusive rights and having our own Law Donut for the Thames Valley, Atom provided an excellent tool for our clients. Clients need to know the information they access is up-to-date and authoritative.

Using the Law Donut, our clients are assured of all of the above.

Thank you all for making my life so easy – you're every client's dream agency.

This season Kamui Kobayashi is hoping to put his past experience to good use by helping new team Caterham.
Having finished with the wooden spoon last season, Caterham are determined to not only get back at main rivals Marussia but also to make inroads into F1's midfield.
As such the team has brought in Kobayashi, who spent three years with Sauber before competing for Ferrari in last year's World Endurance Championships, in the hope that his experience will pay dividends.
"After a one year break I am very excited to be back in Formula One, but I also had a lot of courage to want this job with this team. I have to say it is a very positive challenge for me," he told AFP.
"In other years I had Pedro (de la Rosa) and Nick (Heidfield) came during the year. Those guys had more experience than me and I just tried to learn from them.
"This time I have experience and I started in Formula One before this team did. I've had to give a lot of information and feedback to the guys. We share a lot of information with each other. It is a new challenge."
The 27-year-old put in his first laps in the new Caterham at Jerez last week but managed just 54 laps before a Renault engine issue put him out of play.
"I am not that worried, Renault did the best job for the last couple of years.
"They already mentioned before coming here that they are quite behind in the program, so they are not surprised by the result.
"For these two weeks they have to work with the data they have and if by the next test everything goes well, then it'll be fine.
"Of course if we had more laps, it would be very helpful for the engineers. At least it is a lot better than Red Bull at the moment because they have had very few laps, so at least we got some medium-long runs in."
As for the CT05's 'pinocchio' nose, the Japanese driver said: "It may not look very good but it feels good, especially because as the driver I cannot see the nose."

So, what is the Liebster Blog Award?
"The Liebster Blog Award is an award given by bloggers to up and coming bloggers, most of whom have less than 200 followers (or have been blogging for less than 6 months). It is to show newer bloggers that they are appreciated, and to help spread the word about new blogs. It was created to promote appreciation and recognition among the blog world. Liebster translates to "dearest" (or favorite/best) in German. It is also known as the Love Blog Award."
The Rules:
1. You must post 11 random things about yourself.
2. Answer the questions that the nominator set for you.
3. Create 11 questions for the people you nominate.
4. Choose
5. Please leave me a comment on this post with the URL to your Liebster post so I can learn more about you!
Okay, so here are the 11 random facts:
1. I live in a house built in 1900.
2. I live in Antwerp (in Belgium) and people from Antwerp are known for being very proud of their city. In Antwerp, we have this saying: "Antwerp is The City, and the rest (of Belgium) is just parking lot". Yes, we are known to be quite arrogant too.
3. I don't just make clothes, I also make furniture. So far I've made: cupboards, desks, a supercool washing machine laundry sorting unit thingy in our cellar, and a drawing table and a little shop for Norah.
|My DIY washing machine laundry sorting unit thingy
4. My husband and I travel a lot for our work, and for pleasure, and we pride ourselves in taking Norah wherever we go, instead of leaving her with the grandparents. So at age 3, Norah has already been in: Los Angelos, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Boston, New York, San Diego, Phoenix, Sevilla, Vienna, and Hamburg. And Chicago and Berlin - when she was still in my belly.
5. I suffer from a freaky little condition called night terrors. While nightmares are something you have in your deep (REM) sleep, night terrors occur in your undeep sleep. Which means that you can talk and move during your dreams, and that the dreams are also set in the place where you are actually in (i.e. your bedroom). Most of my night terrors are about insects or spiders being in bed, but I've also had one about a giant iguana on the bedside table, and one in which I spotted a CCTV camera hanging from our bedroom ceiling. What generally happens next is that I start talking to my husband, trying to alert him for the dangerous situation (Hey, hey! Don't move! There are caterpillars in our bed. Wait. I'm going to catch them. Don't move. I'll catch them. Etc.) The worst one was when I dreamt that I was covered in a web of spiders. Still asleep, I ran into our living room and started juming up and down like a freak, trying to shake off the imaginary spiders. My husband had quite some difficulty trying to wake me up. The night terrors are harder on him than on than on me, by the way, because he's the one who is woken up by them, while I generally sleep all the way through them, and don't even remember them in the morning. When the first thing he says to me in the morning is: "Hey, you're a freak, you know that?", I know I had another one.
6. I'm obsessed with spending every minute of the day usefully. I never just watch tv; I'm always doing something else at the same time: blogging, cutting fabric, cutting patterns, ironing, ... On the train I always work, except when I'm too tired; then I cut fabric. Yes, people stare. No, I don't care.
7. I'm crazy about American drama series. Mad Men is my absolute favorite, but I also love Breaking Bad, The West Wing, The Sopranos, Modern Family, and The Wire. Other programs I like are Flight of the Conchords, Extras, and The Office (UK).
8. I learnt a lot more English from watching TV than in school.
9. Hong Kong is my favorite city in the world. I've been there twice.
10. I love blind zippers. They used to scare me, but after I had used them once, I started using them for everything. They're so easy to put in, and so much faster than buttons!
11. Mustard yellow is my favorite color.
Here are the answers to Ashley and Emily's 11 questions:
1. What are your top five 'must-read' blogs?
Apart from my three sewing buddies S is for Sewing, La Inglesita and Cotton Candy, I would have to say:
Groovy Baby and Mama: Danish blog with very original designs. One of those bloggers who developed her own, distinctive style. When you see her creations pop up at Pinterest, you immediately think: 'Hey, bet that's a Groovybaby design'. And it always is!
Skirt as Top: her designs are original, fun, and she is one of the nicest commenters on other blogs (including mine - thank you Kristin!)
Sanae Ishida: classy, original, and a great minimalistic blog design.
You and Mie: cutest little outfits AND cutest little model in the blogosphere!
Miss Matatabi: as the owner of a Japanese fabric shop, Frances has access to the most beautiful fabrics, and makes supercute creations out of them.
2. Do you have a phobia? And if so – what is it?
I have only one phobia: being late at work. In the first year I worked in the Netherlands, there were serious problems with the trains, which meant I was late for class almost every week. It traumatized me. Even though the trains are fine now, and I haven't been late in three years, I still have nightmares in which I am already late for work, yet still cannot leave the house.
3. What is your favorite fabric? This might be a certain designer's look, or a particular style / texture you are drawn to....
Texture: tana lawn and double gauze. Designers: Nani Iro and the latest and upcoming lines of Birch.
4. What is your most tried and true pattern in your stash?
Citronille's Violette dress: it is simple and allows for so many variations. I have made versions with short sleeves, long sleeves, and no sleeves, I have shortened and lengthened the bodice, replaced the buttons with a zipper...
5. What is your dream job?
Designing children's clothing of course, or, if I can be even more unrealistic: architect of landmark buildings.
6. Share a tradition that you and your family enjoy.
One thing we do very often is going to the Antwerp Zoo, which is just a 10-minute bike or train ride away from our home. In Summer, we visit it every week. By age 2, Norah knew her way to all animals perfectly!
7. Name one thing sewing-related that you haven't tried…but want to learn how to do.
Knits. I'd love to make Norah a pair of pyjamas in knit fabric, but I just can't get round to getting started.
8. What is your favorite month of the year and why?
July and August. Great weather (well, by Belgian standards), travel, bbq, ...
9. If you had the opportunity to do a guest post, what series would you want to participate in….or, on which site would you like to guest post?
Mmmmm... so many. All the blogs mentioned in question one! And maybe a guest post at Project Run & Play?
10. Where do you get your sewing inspiration (be specific – for example: a particular pinterest board, blog, children's retail, etc.)?
Pinterest is a major source, of course. Celina Bailey always posts gorgeous children's clothing - so inspirational! Belgian clothing brands are also a nice source of inspiration (see my pinterest board: Kids' Clothes Belgian Style).
11. What has been your greatest "sewing find" to date?
Etsy! Fabric is incredibly expensive here in Belgium (the same fabric costs about twice as much here compared to in the US), plus there is limited choice of course. So I buy most of my fabric from American online shops. Small Etsy shops generally have the best prices, as they don't just send everything in a flat rate envelope, but take the trouble to find the cheapest way of sending stuff. Same goes for Japanese shops (Miss Matatabi! Kicoli!).
11 questions for my nominees:
Now, according to the Liebster blog rules which are being sent around these days, I have to nominate 11 young blogs. Finding 11 new blogs I like is not that difficult, but many of my choices already received an award.
This is hardly surprising. I don't have a degree in mathematics or anything, but relying on my high school math knowledge, and on my Casio fx-92 calculator, I figured out that, if everyone nominates 11 blogs, after only 3 rounds 1.331 blogs are involved. After four rounds: 14.641. So I googled around a bit, and here I read that originally, you had to nominate between 3 and 5 blogs. That makes a lot more sense.
So I'm being so arrogant as to change The Rules back to how they were. Hey, I'm from Antwerp, remember?
And the five awesome nominees are...

Sanae Ishida
All this for them
