In the last 40 years, Portrait Scene's photographers have helped to memorialize special moments in the lives of thousands of children, teens, and adults across the country. By constantly working with families, they have mastered the art of calming toddlers and keeping parents still enough to say or even pasteurize cheese. Outdoor shoots make use of natural tones, such as those of crystal-blue lake waters and green, leafy trees. In the spring months, photos brim with the pastel buds of tulips and the shine of bluebirds applying makeup for the first time all year.
Light pours through the windows of Sip & Knit and bounces off the bundles of multihued yarns that are tucked into ordered bookshelves along one of the walls. Inside this cozy space, during classes or open knitting time, knitters of all levels immerse themselves in projects such as forming baby socks or a sweater for a warm-blooded pet goldfish. Visitors can peruse an inventory of supplies from renowned brands, such as Elizabeth Austen, Swedish Yarn, and the Alpaca Yarn Company, all while contemplating new designs with Tucker, the store's resident dog.
On August 9, dozens of independent artisans will converge on the Maitland Civic Center for the Big Bang Bazaar. The one-day festival looks to feature a wide array of items that ranges from soy candles and handmade jewelry to more unexpected gifts, such as beaded X-Files posters. There will be some packaged foods for sale as well, including cake balls and homemade pickles, which are much more enjoyable than pickle-made homes.

JC Penney Targets Johnson's Core Retailing Vision
Monday June 27th, 2011 - 7:37AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Few, if any, retailing observers can question the vision and talent that have made Ron Johnson one of the most influential and accomplished merchants of the past two decades.
Johnson wrote the design-for-the-masses playbook for housewares at Target, and then he rewrote the book on retailing as captive theater at Apple.
But as Johnson moves to the helm of JC Penney from his groundbreaking post as architect, builder and caretaker of the Apple Store phenomenon, many might wonder how his hardlines-honed philosophy will translate to an apparel-heavy promotional department store brand in a state of constant compromise to keep its traditional mid-tier customer base satisfied while cultivating enough vogue to entice and contain a new generation.
Taking A Stance
It's nearly impossible for retailers to endure muddled identities in today's unforgiving marketplace. Johnson has never shied away from taking a stance when it comes to clarifying a retailer's image, even if it meant risks that didn't always register at checkout.
Johnson's Michael Graves Design initiative in housewares for Target had an inconsistent sales record over the years. But in its daring and commitment it was an unabashed flag bearer for the discounter's storewide "shabby chic" makeover while inspiring retailers across the board.
All Johnson did at Apple was pioneer one of the most pulsating, captivating, interactive store concepts, steering it in 10 years to more than 300 locations that generated sales of $3.19 billion in the quarter ended in March.
It makes one wonder why Johnson would leave a presumably comfy senior post at one of the hottest, hippest companies for the markedly less-edgy, vulnerable mid-market department store world.
Fundamental Method
Johnson wouldn't risk tarnishing his retailing legacy— and his personal $50 million investment in JC Penney stock— if he didn't already have what he believes is a surefire game plan for reinventing the brand.
As revolutionary as Johnson's results are, though, his retailing methodology is more fundamental than it is radical.
In a presentation for Bodum at the 2003 Gourmet Show, Johnson shared his principles behind the Apple Store rollout:
• "Find the highest-traffic, most expensive retail locations; not the cheapest real estate. The best real estate delivers the traffic."
• "Invest in store design... Design the store not around selling product, but around the desired customer experience."
• "Create merchandising presentations that invite hands-on interaction."
• "Edit, edit, edit. It's not about how many SKUs you carry; it's what you carry and what you tell them about it that gives customers the perception that you are a leader in that product."
• "[Hire] passionate people… because they love [your] brand and culture."
• "Market through special events, not sales."
'Think Different'
"Customers are totally bored with what they've seen before," Johnson said at the Bodum event. "You have to identify the fundamentals that inhibit growth. You have to change mindsets, and design stores around that goal. Think big. Think different. Utilize outside help. And keep asking, 'What's next?"
Such thinking applies to all retailing, whether you're selling funky kettles, high-end computers, basic cookware or boot-cut jeans. Some might think JC Penney isn't an ideal canvas for the type of cutting-edge merchandising on Johnson's résumé. What truly is cutting-edge about Johnson, however, is not just his vision, but also his total commitment to it.
Expect Johnson to adapt his philosophy to JC Penney's target market. Then we'll see if the core of his ideas on retail transformation from one channel to the next really is apples to apples.
—Peter Giannetti

Charles Woodson
Packers Control The World For A Minute
Feb 17th
The Green Bay Packers got to control the world for a minute.
At least that was Charles Woodson's assessment of what it meant to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, which Woodson, teammates John Kuhn, Ryan Grant and Packers president Mark Murphy did, yesterday.
Obama Gets A Green Bay Welcome
Jan 26th
President Barack Obama flew into Green Bay this morning for an appearance and speech in Manitowoc. When he landed, the Chicago Bears fan was the recipient of two Green Bay Packers jerseys. The second, which is pictured above, was Charles Woodson's No. 21 with the following personally signed message. "To President Obama See you at […]
Woodson Takes A Shot At Obama
Jan 25th
I like Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson more every day. Woodson gave a rousing post-game locker room speech to the rest of the Packers after they beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday. At the end, Woodson takes a shot at president Barack Obama, who's a Bears fan. Obama said he would attend the Super […]
An Evening With Charles Woodson's TwentyFour
Nov 14th
Earlier this fall, I gathered some of my friends together. The goal: sample some of Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson's wine. If you don't know the story, Woodson owns a winery in Napa Valley — TwentyFour Wines. Woodson got into wine and bought the vineyard when he played for the Oakland Raiders, hence the […]
This Time, Woodson Defensive Player Of The Week
Oct 6th
Another week, another player of the week award for the Green Bay Packers. Cornerback Charles Woodson captured the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week award, an award he won twice last season, for his play against Detroit. Woodson recorded 14 tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown against the Lions in his best game […]
Packers Reward Woodson With Two-Year Extension
Sep 9th
The Green Bay Packers have locked up cornerback Charles Woodson for an additional two years. Woodson, the reigning NFL defensive player of the year, has three years remaining on his current deal. He will be 39 if he plays out the full contract, which seems unlikely. The deal is worth $55 million over the next […]
Woodson Cannot Be Burned By Receivers Or Flames
Jul 14th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson does not get burned on the football field, but that's nothing compared to what Woodson went through last weekend. Woodson escaped a house fire in Bay Harbor, Michigan after a party being held to celebrate the homeowner's family gift to, and naming of, the University of Michigan Women's Hospital. […]
Packers Got Lucky With Woodson, Were Really After Arrington
Jul 13th
National Football Post founder and former Green Bay Packers vice president Andrew Brandt has written a few posts about free agency in the NFL, recently. The short of his message is this: it usually doesn't work out. One of the exceptions to the rule, however, was the Packers signing of cornerback Charles Woodson. As we […]
Woodson Says He Hasn't Asked For New Contract
Jun 9th
Despite reports to the contrary yesterday, Green Bay Packers' cornerback Charles Woodson says he hasn't asked the team for a new contract. The initial report came from Josina Anderson of Fox 31 in Denver. At the time, I wondered what the hell someone in Denver knew about Charles Woodson and the Packers. Now, the answer […]
Packers Reportedly Discussing New Contract With Woodson
Jun 8th
This comes as a bit of a surprise, but the Green Bay Packers and cornerback Charles Woodson are reportedly discussing a new contract. I say it's a bit of a surprise because, although Woodson is coming off perhaps his finest season, he'll be 34 this year and still has three years left on his current […]
Two Packers Make NFL All-Decade Team
Feb 1st
The NFL announced its 2000s All-Decade Team on Sunday during the Pro Bowl that me and no one else watched, and two Green Bay Packers made the squad. Actually, we should say one member of the Green Bay Packers and one former Packer. They were cornerback Charles Woodson and safety Darren Sharper. After playing eight […]
Woodson Packers' Lone All Pro
Jan 14th
In news that should really surprise no one, cornerback Charles Woodson is the Green Bay Packers lone member of the NFL All-Pro team. The All-Pro team is voted on my members of the Associated Press and made up of the top players from both conferences, unlike the Pro Bowl, which separates the squads into AFC […]
Woodson Picks Up Another Award And Rex Ryan Is a Douchebag

Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday by a wide margin. On Wednesday, he picked up the Sporting News' NFL defensive player of the year award, which is voted on by 636 players, coaches and executives. Woodson again finished first by a wide margin, receiving 241 […]
Woodson Wins Defensive Player of the Year By a Landslide
Jan 12th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson put the question to rest today. He's the NFL Defensive Player of the Year and he won by a wide margin over New York Jets' cornerback Darrelle Revis. Woodson received 28 votes to Revis' 14. The Denver Broncos' Elvis Dumervil and the New Orleans Saints' Darren Sharper tied for […]
Woodson Wins Defensive Player of the Month Again. Does This Clinch It?
Jan 8th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson was named the NFC's Defensive Player of the Month for December, the third time he's won the honor this season. Woodson also won the award in September and November. New Orleans Saints safety Darren Sharper won the award in October. This is the first time anyone has ever won […]
Has Revis Edged Woodson For Defensive Player of the Year?
Dec 28th
We've handed Green Bay Packers' cornerback Charles Woodson the defensive player of the year award already, but noted that his strongest competition is likely to come from New York Jets' cornerback Darrelle Revis. Well, after the last two weeks, it appears the race isn't quite over, and in fact, is probably closer than we imagine. […]

Jets' Revis Woodson's Main Competition For Defensive MVP

Around these parts it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Green Bay Packers' Charles Woodson will be the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. We've looked at the competition and crunched the numbers. But we may have overlooked one guy – New York Jets' cornerback Darrelle Revis. Previously, our discussion centered around the Minnesota […]
Holy Shit, Charles Woodson

Cape Verde coach Lucio Antunes says a referee with a bigger profile should have been taken Cape Verde coach Lucio Antunes says a referee with a bigger profile should have been to handle their Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash with Ghana. The Black Stars defeated the Blue Sharks 2-0 in the match in Port Elizabeth which sparked anger from the coach who also works as an air traffic controller. Mubarak Wakaso scored twice to sink surprise packages in a fiercely contested quarter-final of the tournament in South Africa. But Antunes was left with a bitter taste in the mouth following a second-half awarded to Ghana. The moment of controversy came when the penalty was awarded by referee Rajinjapasad Seechurn of Mauritius. He ruled that defender Carlitos, whose cousin Nani plays for Manchester United, had felled Ghana skipper Asamoah Gyan with an unfair shoulder charge as they challenged for the ball. Antunes questioned the decision by CAF to choose a referee from Mauritius to handle...

I would like to see it how it should be Kagome becoming half hanyou and living with Inuyasha forever. That would be the ultimate ending and it would be perfect.
I'm a little confused as to what you are asking. Do you mean what I want to happen or do you mean literally, what happens?
Well whichever it is, I wouldn't mind going both ways. If Kagome were to stay in Inuyasha's time, I think it'd be really cute. She'd be with him forever, and he would still be his true, half-demon self. Which is what Kagome loves.
I'd also not mind it being the other way around. Kagome going back to her own time because Inuyasha says that he will use the jewel to turn himself into a full hanyou. He'd then surprise her by turning full human, and living with her in her own time. That'd be a surprise as well.
However it ends up, I wouldn't mind. Unless it has to do something like the current endinig to the series, which is crappy as hell.
I would like to see it how it should be Kagome becoming half hanyou and living with Inuyasha forever. That would be the ultimate ending and it would be perfect.
™Mommy To Micah And Shawn!™
Thanks For The Amazing Tag Pyro!
I once read a fanfic about that. I didn't really like the outcome of it. So that is probably why I'm not so in love with the Idea of Kagome staying in his time and become hanyou. But it would be a better ending than what the actual one is.
Well yeah of course it would be a better ending. I think that in the end it should be one going to the other ones time period. Even if that means Kagome staying behind with Inuyasha. It's not like it's something new to her and she has no clue where she is.
™Mommy To Micah And Shawn!™
Thanks For The Amazing Tag Pyro!
Hm only the anime series has ended and not the manga which is getting really interesting ^^.
I really don't like Kagome so I really wouldn't mind if Inuyasha didn't end up with her. Kikyo seems to be best for him since she is from that time and he onced loved her but she is dead so thats out. Its hard to say were the creators are going with there relationship since they love conflict but I am figuring they will always get to see each other as long as that well is available and the jewel shards too.
Isn't this more suitable for the spoiler section?
Moving to Inugaysha spoilers...

Motorola Mobility Provides Business Update
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Jan. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MMI) ("Motorola Mobility") today announced preliminary results for the fourth-quarter 2011. Although the Company has not finalized its financial results for the fourth-quarter, it estimates sales of $3.4 billion with modest profitability on a non-GAAP basis. These estimates include shipments of approximately 10.5 million mobile devices, of which approximately 5.3 million were smartphones. Motorola Mobility's fourth-quarter results were impacted by the increased competitive environment in the Mobile Device business and higher legal costs associated with ongoing Intellectual Property (IP) litigations. The Company estimates sales of $900 million for the Home business in the fourth-quarter. Motorola Mobility will issue its fourth-quarter 2011 earnings results at approximately 3:00 p.m. U.S. Central Time on Thursday, January 26, 2012.
As previously announced on August 15, 2011, Motorola Mobility and Google Inc. ("Google") (NASDAQ: GOOG) entered into a definitive agreement for Google to acquire Motorola Mobility for $40.00 per share in cash, or a total of approximately $12.5 billion. On November 7, 2011, Motorola Mobility stockholders voted overwhelmingly to approve the proposed merger with Google at the Company's Special Meeting of Stockholders.
The Company continues to work closely with Google to complete the proposed acquisition of Motorola Mobility as expeditiously as possible. The Company notes that the transaction remains subject to various closing conditions, and currently expects the transaction to close in early 2012 once all conditions have been satisfied. The Company reminds stockholders that it is possible that the failure to timely meet such conditions or other factors outside of the Company's control could delay or prevent completion of the transaction altogether.
Information on the Google acquisition can be found at investors.motorola.com.Motorola Mobility also noted that it will be showcasing and introducing several new products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas beginning January 10, 2012. Please visit the Company's exhibition booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall Booth No. 8644 to see the latest innovative products and experiences from the Mobile Devices and Home businesses.

About the Designer
lvaro Siza Portugal (1933 - )
Siza was born in the town of Matosinhos, near Oporto, Portugal, in 1933. He studied architecture at the Escola de Belas Artes in Oporto from 1949 to 1955, and his first design was built in 1954. From 1955 to 1958, he worked with architect Fernando Tavora. Through the 1950s, Siza developed several projects in Matosinhos, including private houses, a Parochial Center, a Tourist Office, and a low-cost housing project as well as the acclaimed Boa Nova restaurant (1958-63; renovated 1992) and a public swimming pool in Leca da Palmeira (1958-65). These early projects indicated Siza's characteristic ability to integrate his designs with the distinct qualities of their environments In 1966, Siza joined the faculty at the School of Architecture in Oporto (ESBAP), and in 1976 he was appointed Assistant Professor of Construction. Through the 1960s and early 1970s, he continued to design private houses as well as commercial buildings near Oporto. His second swimming pool for Leca da Palmeira displays his brilliant use of space. The design uses a natural rock formation to complement the man-made sides of a large pool placed as if carved out of the sand and rock of the coastline. A smaller children's pool, changing building, and cafe are also included, and the building is set below the level of the access road to provide an uninterrupted view of the ocean. JosΘ Paulo dos Santos has noted in his Alvaro Siza: Works and Projects 1954-1992 that the design contains formal references to Finnish architect Alvar Aalto and to neoclassicist architecture.

Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
Count The Twins' clubhouse is full of boxes these days, boxes and dreariness. September has been brutal, and it's clear most of the team is looking forward to a break from the daily defeats. When Saturday's game ended, four players dressed and left the clubhouse less than 10 minutes after the finish.
From talking to the players, it's clear many of them are just as curious as everyone else about what's going to happen Monday with their manager and the coaching staff. It's a pretty loyal bunch, so much so that Ron Gardenhire said players have come to him to apologize for their, and the team's, poor play this month.
Saturday's game was another example of a pitcher throwing well, but not for long enough. Cole De Vries retired the first 11 hitters he faced, but then put seven of the next 11 on base, giving up five runs in five innings. On Friday, it was Liam Hendriks, pitching pretty well in relief, but only for 4 2/3 innings, and only after the Twins had fallen behind by seven runs.
One player who has made a good impression this month is spare catcher Eric Fryer, who walked twice and drove in Minnesota's only run on Saturday. "He's tough, a tough kid," Gardenhire said. "He's very professional."
Back tomorrow for the final Twins game of the year. One more chance for the Twins to prevent Cleveland from celebrating on their field, and to make a one-game improvement on last year's 96-loss season. Or to finish packing those boxes and just put this year behind them.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Here, there... everywhere
Toronto playwright Hannah Moscovitch's work is on stages all over the country, including a Canadian war story at PTE
In a bid to sensitize herself to the daily horrors encountered by Canadian soldiers fighting in Afghanistan, Toronto playwright Hannah Moscovitch thought she needed to observe video of a Taliban beheading.
"My expectation was that it was going to be a fast thing, but it wasn't; there was a lot of holding down the victim and hacking," she says over the telephone, still sounding appalled by the images. "I watched it and I kind of lost my mind.
"Soldiers witness this stuff first-hand, day after day. It certainly made me aware of what Canadians ask of them, because if I can be traumatized from doing research, imagine the scale of what returning soldiers have experienced."
Her deep empathy for Canadian combat personnel informs This Is War, which premièred last month at Toronto's Tarragon Theatre and arrives at Prairie Theatre Exchange Feb. 21. It focuses on three soldiers and a medic who are being questioned by an unseen journalist about a tragic incident, the consequence of having to make a split-second decision on whether to shoot or not.
The prolific Moscovitch decided to declare war as the subject of her next work after reading a newspaper story that questioned why Canadian playwrights were seemingly ignoring the country's military engagement in Afghanistan. At the time, she was writing for the CBC Radio dramatic series Afghanada, which gave her free access to high-level military consultants, as well soldiers who had served there.
With 10,000 veterans now back in Canada, Moscovitch thought it was time to tell their stories, which have received little exposure.
"I was also interested in how we ask them to kill in our name, which in our society we punish with the harshest penalties the law permits," says the 34-year-old National Theatre School graduate. "We ask them to do a 180 on our morality. I was curious as to what that does to the psyche of a soldier."
Moscovitch was talking war and not love during this Valentine's Day interview. There is no time for Cupid when you're the most sought-after playwright in Canada. Moscovitch was up early and off to story meetings for Played, a new CTV police procedural she is writing for. In mid-afternoon she took a taxi to the Tarragon, where she is playwright-in-residence, for a dress rehearsal of one of her new plays. Then she conducted interviews in English and French before attending the previews of her latest scripts, Little One and Other People's Children. Afterwards she would go home and begin rewrites on them before preparing for Played the next day.
"It wouldn't be too much if I wasn't working on TV full time," says Moscovitch, whose last play seen here was East of Berlin at RMTC Warehouse in 2009. "That's the thing that's really pushed me over the edge.
"I'm hardly complaining. It would be awful to be complaining. It would make me a disgusting person."
The new year is hardly two months old and she has already premièred three plays, including Little One and Other People's Children, which opened at the Tarragon Feb. 20. The Moscofest continues there next month with another new work, In this World. Little One then tours to Banff, Victoria and the Yukon. In This World hits the road for eight weeks in Ontario before heading for Quebec. Even This Is War is being picked up by a Chicago theatre.
The exposure of having four plays performed in such a brief period in Toronto leaves Moscovitch a bit uncomfortable.
"I do feel vulnerable when audiences get to see four different facets of my psyche," says the Ottawa-born playwright, who has been living in Toronto since 2001. "Onstage, it's not such a pretty picture, actually.
"My fiancé read all four of them and suggested I might want to write something more redemptive, perhaps a love story. These plays are pretty bad ass."
Not that she has time to take on another project even if prompted by her beau. She has a stack of commissions, literally from here to New York City, and work in progress for television, film and opera. Moscovitch is also dramatizing Ann-Marie MacDonald's bestselling 1996 novel, Fall on Your Knees, into three three-hour plays.
"I'm just an idiot," she says of a workload that has pulling out her MacBook on the streetcar to get in extra writing time.
Despite her all-work and no-play Valentine's day, Moscovitch counts herself as a authentic romantic. She didn't think she was into all that mushy stuff until her boyfriend, Christian Barry, got down on his knee last October and proposed, but she says she's loving having a big diamond ring on her finger.
Then there is her enduring love affair with theatre.
"If that wasn't true, I'd go to TV and make the big bucks," she says. "I don't because I'm a romantic. I'm like a teenager whose first love was theatre. I have painful teenage love for theatre and it would be really hard to rip that out of my identity."

We Did the Math on Tom Perkins' Vote-Buying Scheme
Guess who wins? Almost certainly not you.
Byon February 14, 2014
Billionaire venture capitalist Tom Perkins, who suffers from a disease in which he is rapidly transforming into Montgomery Burns from The Simpsons, told a Fortune-sponsored conference that his big idea to change the world would be You pay a million dollars in taxes, you get a million votes.
In aggregate, this means that the top 1% of taxpayers would have equal voting power with the other 95% of the country and, given that people on the cusp of wealth (or people who think they are) often side with their betters, it means a great deal more power even than that.
The Roper Center of the University of Connecticut tells us that Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney largely with the support of people making less than $50,000 a year where voters broke 60% for the president compared to 38% for his rich rival. These are the people making less than the median household income, which has hovered around $50,000 for years now. Voters making between $50,000 and $90,000 a year started to break for Romney. He took 52% of those voters compared to 48% for Obama. Voters who made more than $100,000 a year went 54% for Romney and 44% for Obama.
Seems fair enough to say that if we sold votes to rich people the way Perkins proposed that wed have President Romney now, if not somebody richer and more right wing to knock out Romney.
The American Enterprise Institute tells us that in 2010 the 1.35 million taxpayers who were the highest earning 1% took home 18.9% of all reported earnings and paid 37.4% of the nations taxes. That year, 58 million Americans had neither no income tax liability or they received a refund through the Earned Income Tax Credit. Those people, who would all by definitions fall into the economic category that broke for Obama in 2012 would be totally disenfranchised under the Perkins plan. In 2012, Obama won 65.9 million votes and Romney got 60.9 million. The number of people who would get no vote at all equals 88% of Obamas total get. While theres no way of knowing if those 58 million voted for Obama or voted at all, it is unlikely he could have won such a close election if none of them even had the option.
Generally speaking, says the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities the number of Americans who pay no income tax is not as high as it has been in the post-Crisis years. The recession and its unevenly distributed recovery has kept incomes down for most people and when incomes are down, tax burdens drop with them. Thats how progressive taxation works. This is a good thing.
Conservatives like Perkins whine about the earned income tax credit because it gives money to people who pay no taxes. A little history here in 1986 the earned income tax credit was expanded by Ronald Reagan because he wanted to give people an incentive to work rather than apply for government welfare programs. It is a subsidy for low wage work so that people arent tempted to turn down a job offer because they might lose their assistance checks. It is cheaper than welfare, because people are working, and it encourages people to take lower paying jobs while they look for opportunities. This tax credit is a classically Republican notion that Republicans now hate.
Kind of like the idea of one person, one vote.
