Customer Raves & Reviews
We loved Field of Love!
Field of Love Save the Date Magnets My fiancee and I chose the "Field of Love" magnet for our save the date! We loved the flexibility to change the colors, pictures, font style, and font size to make it our own! I thought the price was reasonable and I liked being able to track the progress as our save the dates were being made and shipped. They arrived in great condition and were packaged beautifully! We also received free shipping by order during a special online sale! I would highly recommend magnetstreet and would gladly use them again!
Very Pleased!
Field of Love Save the Date Magnets My fiance and I looked at several different websites and chose MagnetStreet because of their great designs. The design we both agreed on really liking was "Field of Love." We really liked the colors, the fact that we could have two pictures and that it was pretty yet simple. We were very impressed at how easy the personalizing/ordering process was and how quickly we received our order. We loved the packaging in a beautiful box, which really added to our excitement of getting them. The magnet and envelope were great quality, and the picture quality was even better than we expected. Overall, we were very pleased with our purchase. We feel like we got a really good product for a reasonable price.

Personally, I don't think proxies *should* rewrite URLs, and that origin servers should decide on logical equivalence and report it. This is the only way that servers that are not 'multihomed' but happen to have multiple DNS entries can be declared to be equivalent. Otherwise, we have to define equivalence for URLs unambiguously, and I'm reluctant to engage in that because it's likely we'll get it wrong.Received on Tuesday, 12 March 1996 21:04:55 EST

Host Tom Temin brings you the latest news affecting the federal community each weekday morning, featuring interviews with top government executives and contractors. Listen live from 6 to 9 a.m. or download archived interviews below.
Jared Serbu, DoD Reporter, Federal News Radio
By next summer, the Defense Department plans to make an award for a new off-the-shelf electronic health record system that meets modern health IT standards. But the system won't be a silver bullet for DoD's challenges in exchanging medical data with VA, or within the department itself. Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu has details on the legwork DoD will be doing over the next couple years to make its existing data more interoperable.
Col. Paul Reese, Center for Army Lessons Learned
The Center for Army Lessons Learned is calling for soldiers who want to serve a yearlong tour in a hot spot such as Afghanistan, Kuwait or Africa. As an Embedded Liaison Officer, they would report back on what they observed. Colonel Paul Reese, director of the Center for Army Lessons Learned, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss what the Army is calling a great opportunity.
Joseph Campbell, Criminal Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation
Public corruption is a top priority for the FBI. Agents look for everything from local motor vehicle officials fudging things for a case of whiskey to federal officials who might be on the take. That includes keeping resources on the southern border, watching border patrol agents. Joseph Campbell is assistant director for the Criminal Division at the FBI. On the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, he explained how public corruption cases are generated.
Wednesday federal headlines - September 24, 2014
The Federal Headlines is a daily compilation of the stories you hear discussed on Federal News Radio each day. It is designed to give FederalNewsRadio.com readers more information about the stories heard on the radio. In today's news, the U.S. leads airstrikes against Islamic State militants, and the Defense Department asks service members to fill out a survey about sexual assault.
Walter Shaub, Director, Office of Government Ethics
The Office of Government Ethics is stepping out from behind the legal and policy curtain to help build a broader community, and it wants agency ethics officials and others to do the same. Walter Shaub, director of the Office of Government Ethics, says a month-long series of seminars and summits is part of a broader effort to change the view of ethics oversight across government. He spoke to Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller in part one of their interview.
Jared Serbu, DoD Reporter, Federal News Radio
The Pentagon is about a month away from rescinding a 2012 policy that made the Defense Information Systems Agency the only outlet for DoD agencies to buy cloud services from commercial providers. As Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu reports, department IT leaders think the current approach is taking too long.
Julian Hattem, Staff Writer, The Hill Newspaper
Tech companies are moving to block everyone from accessing people's data, including law enforcement. More products from Apple and Google automatically encrypt and protect people's data from both police and thieves. Critics say the changes will hamper law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Julian Hattem, staff writer for the Hill Newspaper, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with details.
Marco Conners, Chief of the Army Games for Training Program, National Simulation Center
The Army is experimenting with a new type of interactive software to train its young leaders. It's called the Emergent Leader Immersive Training Environment software (ELITE). The training tool teaches soldiers to deal with a range of problems including disagreements with their platoon sergeant, driving under the influence and sexual harassment. Marco Conners is chief of the Army Games at the National Simulation Center. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with details.
John Palguta, Vice President for Policy, Partnership for Public Service
Last night's Service to America Medals awards gala celebrated federal employees who went above and beyond the call of duty. The Federal Employee of the Year was Dr. Rana Hajjeh, director of the Division of Bacterial Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. John Palguta, vice president for policy at the Partnership for Public Service, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with a recap.
Col. Donald Bray, Commander, Cyber Protection Brigade
The Army has activated a new brigade, a cyber brigade, its first ever. The brigade is part of the Army's Cyber Command. The brigade will be divided into teams consisting of both soldiers and civilians. Their primary mission will be to conduct defensive cyberspace operations. Army Col. Donald Bray is commander of the Cyber Protection Brigade in Fort Gordon, Georgia. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss the brigade's structure and mission.
Dr. Rana Hajjeh, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
From cracking down on Medicare fraud to giving paralyzed veterans the ability to walk, over the past several months we've been telling you about the great work of this year's Service to America Medals nominees. The winners were recognized at a gala in Washington last night. Tom Temin spoke with this year's Federal Employee of the Year. Dr. Rana Hajjeh is director of the Division of Bacterial Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She told Tom Temin on the Federal Drive about her work and what's next.
John Teeter, Federal Advisory Global Center of Excellence for Health at KPMG
Health care is a major concern of the federal government. That's one reason why health IT and health informatics are growth industries. Now the long standing American Council for Technology Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC) has formed a Federal Healthcare Working Group. Its initial focus will be on informatives. John Teeter is managing director in the Federal Advisory Global Center of Excellence for Health at KPMG. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss how he's helping the ACT-IAC effort.

Open enrollment for health care insurance through the federal exchange is coming around again. Congress, among others, is wondering if the exchange and its website HealthCare.gov are secure. The Government Accountability Office took a look. It found some issues. Greg Wilshusen is the information security issues at GAO. He testified last week about what auditors say need to be done. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with details.
Reginald France, Health and Human Services Department Office of Inspector General, Miami Regional Office
Each year, fake Medicare claims filed by medical equipment suppliers, home health care agencies and pharmacies bill the federal government out of billions of dollars. Florida is considered ground zero for health care fraud. One reason is a big portion of its residents are over the age of 65. Reginald France is an assistant special agent in charge at the Health and Human Services Department's Inspector General office in Miami. He and his team led Medicare fraud investigations resulting in nearly 700 convictions in South Florida. For their work, team members are winners of the Homeland Security and Law Enforcement Medal in this year's Service to America Medals. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss his role in the investigations.
Monday federal headlines - September 22, 2014
The Federal Headlines is a daily compilation of the stories you hear discussed on Federal News Radio each day.

Ray Odierno says sequestration will significantly degrade the Army's ability to carry out its mission, and a bill passed in the Senate would remove administratively uncontrollable overtime pay for border patrol agents.
Jason Miller, Executive Editor, Federal News Radio
Steve VanRoekel has decided to move out of the federal chief information officer's position. He'll be taking a more operational role for the U.S. Agency for International Development. That decision caught most people by surprise. Some who know him think VanRoekel was attracted to the challenge of fighting the Ebola virus. Federal News Radio's Executive Editor Jason Miller writes about VanRoekel's legacy in his biweekly feature Inside the Reporter's Notebook. Jason joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with details on what some are saying about Steve VanRoekel's impact on federal technology.

The Defense Department unveiled the latest version of its Better Buying Power initiative Friday. It shifts its emphasis toward the need to drive more advanced technologies into the products DoD buys. Federal News Radio's DoD Reporter Jared Serbu has the details.
Carlton Hadden, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Federal agencies are too quick to dismiss employee discrimination charges, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC reversed a third of all cases dismissed by agencies between 2008 and 2012 without investigations or hearings. The agency received more than 1,500 dismissal appeals in fiscal 2012, and remanded nearly 700 back to agencies. Carlton Hadden is director of the Office of Federal Operations for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss what federal managers can do to avoid having decisions overturned.
Jordan Sims, Organization Relations & Programs, Project Management Institute
Modernizing the Defense Department acquisition system is a tall order. Sequestration has put extra strain on the process. Pentagon officials and even contractors say improvements in requirements management could help. Jordan Sims is the director of Organization Relations and Programs at the Project Management Institute. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with his prescription for fostering the skills and relationships needed to boost the acquisitions system.

After buying 4 different natural deodorants and all of them failing I decided to try Weleda's Wild Rose. IT WORKS!! I only have two qualms: price; REALLY strong smell. The rose smell is extremely strong. If you use more than one spray under each arm you will be quite the stinky lady. I don't find the rose smell offensive, just strong. Within an hour or two it calms down quite a bit. Luckily the product really does its job!
More reviews by cleavereuphemism
This is a life-saver for me and my boyfriend. We both use it and love it.
It's not an anti-persperant, but it still gets the job done. When he was working construction the BF would come home stinky every day until he started using this. Instead, he'd come home and his pits had a lovely lingering fragrance. (For real, I'd stick my nose in there to see whether it worked or not - it does.) It may not seem like a unisex scent but it's actually a rather musky fragrance and more clean-smelling than floral.
I've never been a fan of your standard drugstore-type deo as I have a real objection to the underlying scent that they all have, not to mention the fact that they don't work.
This stuff does what you want a deodorant to do - keep sweat at bay and make your pits smell good. LOVE it.

This product has a fantastic smell-hubby, who never cares what scent I wear, said I smelled "like the beach" after applying this. As to effectivity, the alcohol can only hold BO at bay for so long. I have a trick-spray the deo, then use it to moisten a salt rock. Then I spray again. I know this is labor intensive, but less so than pretreating clothes due to BO or having to toss them out. Note: these 2 products together will keep odor-producing bacteria at bay, but will not prevent sweating (a good thing). In order to absorb (not prevent sweat), add a dusting of healthy body powder.

I have been using this for over a year now, it is the best natural deodorant I have used! Smells lovely! And I love that it is never visible on your skin or clothes!
This is by far the best natural deodorant on the market. It's pricey but it is the only natural deodorant that works on me plus you have the added bonus of smelling like a rose. The scent is strong at first but then fades to a lovely natural rose smell; I often get compliments. It's not that cheep toilet rose smell either, it's that old fashioned pure essential rose scent that reminds me of a country garden. I love that I smell yummy while using a natural product, happy knowing that no harsh chemicals are being absorbed into my body and I don't have BO.
A staple for me. I love the smell and the fact that it's a natural product. I've developed allergies to most perfumes and sometimes even to the pure essential oils. Wild rose doesn't cause any reaction and it lasts forever. Anybody who has sensitivity to mainstream fragrances should try this once. Of course if you like the rose scent. Weleda rocks!
I've just started using this product,but I really really like it.I was always searching for this smell,I love roses.No perfume can beat it.And it lasts for hours!
I spray it under my arm,and also on my neck as a perfume.
If it stops working as a deodorant(I don't know why would it,but in case it does)I'd still buy it for the smell.
EDIT: it doesn't work very well in summer. I wouldn't recommend it for those who sweat heavily.
I too think this stuff stinks. I love the smell of rose essential oil and this smells nothing like roses to me.
I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this. It was unique and I never saw a deodorant packaged in a cool glass bottle....and I usually like weleda products.
But afer using it once I just can't get past the funeral parlor smell of strong roses and something else funky about the scent.
SO here it sits in my cabinet full of unwanted new'ish stuff. I haven't gotten into the swapping thing yet but with the amazing amount of stuff (mostly high end products) I've collected and not liked, I should probably try out the swapping thing.
anyway, I didn't like this deodorant.
This deodorant is virtually impossible to find where I live despite the fairly easy availability of most other Weleda products, including the Citrus and Sage deodorants. That aside, I finally managed to track some down at this one store and I bought two bottles of it at AU$26 each - I must be going batty in my old age to be paying so much for a deodorant.
I hate most supermarket deodorants because they (a) smell vile (b) leave white marks all over my clothes, even the ones that are meant to be "clear" (c) don't work either at disguising my BO or preventing me from sweating or (d) all of the above. I'm down with sweat in general as I sweat quite a bit anyway (running, biking, just *being*). I don't really expect an anti-perspirant to stop me from sweating, but I *do* expect a straight deodorant to stop me from stinking. I love both the Dr Hauschka deodorants in terms of fragrance but they're unfortunately not strong enough to prevent odour.
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised with the effects of Weleda Wild Rose deodorant. The smell is that of heady, old-fashioned roses with a bit of citrus but I can see how it would be too much for some people. It does settle down after application, though. I have caught a whiff of myself on occasion and have to say that sometimes I think it smells a tiny bit like Clag - good old primary-school glue. I think that might just be my bizarre sense of smell, though. It works extremely well at cloaking any sweat odours that may emanate from my body so I still smell good with the added bonus that it's not clogging my armpits with god knows what. Plus it's organic, not tested on animals, cute packaging, blah blah blah. If this one store keeps stocking it, I'll keep buying!!

Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's Degree
A bachelor's degree from a college, university or independent art school is typically necessary to begin a career as a movie producer. Students may consider programs in acting, journalism, communications, business or another related subject. Some schools offer degree programs in film; students may find courses specific to production within these programs. Aspiring producers need to know how to put a movie together from start to finish, and these programs may help develop the necessary skills. Common coursework includes cinematology, film directing, film production, documentary film and the history of the film industry.
Success Tips:
- Develop business skills. Since movie producers need business skills, an aspiring producer might consider taking courses in business administration, finance and marketing while earning a degree. Work experience in a management capacity, such as at a theater or an agent's office, can also provide useful experience.
- Obtain an internship. Interning while in school can be crucial for students not yet involved in the industry. Internships with movie production companies can provide useful experience and give a unique perspective on the industry. Interns can gain exposure to the inner workings of production, distribution and publicity as well as networking opportunities.
- Develop relationships with fellow students. Film programs at colleges and universities may offer ways for students to participate and interact with each other outside of the classroom, such as in group projects or at film screenings. Working alongside other individuals interested in the film industry may also help to sharpen important communication skills.
Step 2: Gain Industry Experience
Experience is essential to secure a position as a movie producer, which can include working 1-5 years in the industry. Producers may come from many backgrounds, such as acting or behind the scenes in publicity, screenwriting or casting. Many producers build the necessary experience by starting in the industry as production assistants or other entry-level jobs. Formal apprenticeship programs may be available for aspiring movie producers to work as program assistants.
Success Tip:
- Develop an industry network. Movie production is about knowing how to put together a film project. It's also important for aspiring movie producers to read film production publications and attend events, such as seminars and film festivals. The industry is constantly changing, with new talent, emerging technology and new ways to distribute films. Staying abreast of the latest industry players, news and information is important to creating a successful career as a movie producer.

GOD'S POCKET Review
by Matt Goldberg Posted 226 days ago
[This is a re-post of my review from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. God's Pocket opens today in limited release.]
Following around sad characters does not make a story poignant. It does not make it sorrowful or deep or compassionate. In his feature directing debut, John Slattery has filled a tank with dirty water so his talented actors can swim around giving performances that don't serve anything but the performance itself, and the ugly setting and plot is just the fodder for long pauses, pained grimaces, and distant glances. Slattery swings around wildly from grimy pathos to violent dark comedy, and neither is rewarding. Rather than showcasing its talented cast, Slattery wastes them in a wasteland.

Gen-Millennials and the 'lazy' mythPUBLISHED: 16 Oct 2013 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 16 Oct 2013 08:18:29PUBLISHED: 16 Oct 2013 PRINT EDITION: 16 Oct 2013
Far from being self-centred, millennials like working in teams and being collaborative. Photo: Bloomberg
Tim Dodd
Is it true that members of the millennial generation are entitled, self-centred, overconfident, lazy and mainly interested in their social media profiles?
That is the myth about 18 to 33-year-olds in the workforce – those born between 1980 and 1995.
But a comprehensive two-year study by PricewaterhouseCoopers of its large millennial workforce has shown that the myth is, by and large, just that.
Dennis Finn, PwC's global human capital leader, said that the big question mark before the study was done was "are they prepared to work with the same intensity, with the same passion and commitment, as the Gen Xers and the baby boomers?"
The answer, unequivocally, was yes.
The report, PwC's NextGen: A Global Generational Study, also found that, far from being self-centred, millennials like working in teams and being collaborative, as opposed to older workers who value autonomy more highly.
"Being in a team and having a strong team is more important to them than a whole list of other things," Mr Finn said.
And this may be something that is nurtured by their active life on social media. "The theory is that because they collaborate online, they are more able to operate in teams. Whereas we [the baby boomers] tend to work on our own," he said.
Online collaboration equals good teamwork theory
The study also found that millennials placed a high value on support from their supervisors and receiving feedback and recognition.
Debra Eckersley, managing partner human capital in PwC's Australian practice, said that real-time feedback was valued very highly by millennials.
"If you wait six months and then tell them they've got a good rating because they did that thing six months ago, you're completely lost," she said.
Ms Eckersley said this finding had implications for the future design of performance management systems.
Millennials are also less motivated by pay than older workers, preferring to maintain a work-life balance.
Work lives not exclusive priority
"The majority of them are unwilling to commit to making their work lives an exclusive priority, even with the promise of substantial compensation later on," the report said.
But one part of the myth about millennials, that they have their own clear ideas on how work should be done, has a strong element of truth.
"They're as committed to do the job as everybody else but they want to do it in a way that suits their life," Mr Finn said.
The study found they wanted flexibility in how they worked, when they worked and where they worked.
"They have a concept that work is a thing, not a place," Mr Finn said.
"They're saying measure me more on my output, than my hours."
Being more vocal is a desirable trait
And its true that millennials are more vocal than older workers about what they want. But this, says Ms Eckersley, is a desirable trait.
"We like people who are prepared to speak up and have a point of view," she said.
But while millennials are highly comfortable online, the study did find one area where they wanted face-to-face contact.
"Globally, 96 per cent of all our millennials wanted their career discussions to be one-on-one, face-to-face," Mr Finn said.
He said that two-thirds of PwC's global employees were millennials and this proportion was expected to rise to nearly 80 per cent by 2016.
The study, done with the University of Southern California and London Business School, surveyed 40,000 PwC employees, both millennials and older people, and included 300 focus groups and a 72-hour live jam online.

Vickroy: Honoring Mom by helping kids who've lost parents to homicide
BY DONNA VICKROY firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy May 9, 2014 10:54PM
Oak Brook, 05/07/14--(l to r): Kevin Doyle, Kristin Doyle, Kelly (Doyle) Paroubek. Kelly (Doyle) Paroubek, Kevin Doyle, and Kristin Doyle have set up a foundation in memory of their mother who was murdered in 1993 that will raise money for other victims who lose their parents. | Jon Langham~for Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: June 12, 2014 6:54AM
Kristin Doyle was just 8 the night her mother was shot in the head and left to die inside the trunk of her car in the garage of the family's Palos Township home.
The 1993 murder of Sheilah Doyle, a nurse whom prosecutors say was killed because would-be robbers wanted the hood of her car, was horrific, frightening and senseless.
To her children, particularly her youngest daughter, it was also devastating.
"There were so many times when I just wanted my mom. I wanted that closeness, the hugs, the kisses, the safety," said Doyle, now 29.
It was a longing that would haunt her for years — she acted up in grade school, became reclusive in junior high and got into trouble in high school until the day, at age 18 or 19, she approached her dad and asked for help.
Counseling enabled her to untangle painful repressed feelings and develop ways of dealing with the hurt. She eventually emerged from the depressive state that had gripped her for a good decade. Counseling also underscored for her the importance of having someone to turn to through the grieving process.
"Grief is a very sensitive subject," Doyle said. "People don't know what to say or do, especially when your loved one is murdered."
Today, she works as a hairstylist and is director of camps and outreach for the Sheilah A. Doyle Foundation, a nonprofit group started by her older brother, Kevin. It provides college scholarships and healing camp experiences to children who've lost parents or siblings to homicide.
To honor his mom
Soon after Kevin Doyle graduated from the University of Iowa, he and a friend opened an information technology business. With his professional career underway, Kevin realized a void in his personal goals. For a long time, he had wanted to do something in memory of his mom.
Then, one day in 2009 while talking with a business colleague about how his mom died, Kevin devised a plan to set up a scholarship fund. At the time of her death, Sheilah Doyle was enrolled in classes at Moraine Valley Community College.
"She was a (part-time) licensed practical nurse who wanted to become a registered nurse," Kevin said. "She had hoped to go to full time to help us through college."
That night, he took his idea to his sisters, Kristin and Kelly, and his dad, Bill. Everyone embraced it, so he applied for a federal nonprofit designation and put together a board.
Later that year, while chatting with three representatives of New York Life about the scholarship program, Kevin was asked what he was doing for the upcoming Mother's Day.
"I told them I was going to the cemetery," he said.
He explained how his mom had been killed when he was 17 and a student at Sandburg High School. Though he believed the scholarship fund was a great way to honor her memory, he told them he wished there was something the foundation could do for young kids whose lives were disrupted by violence.
One of the reps told him about Comfort Zone Camp, the nation's largest bereavement camp. At the time, Comfort Zone Camp, which had programs in several states and had helped children after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, was looking to expand to the Chicago area.
After visiting a camp in Virginia, Kevin said, "We knew we had to offer this to kids in Chicago. I wish it had been available for me and my sisters when we were young."
Though Comfort Zone Camp provides healing experiences for children who have suffered the loss of a parent or sibling due to any cause, the Doyles modified their program to be specifically for children whose loss came through violence.
Held in September at Camp Manitocqua in Frankfort, the three-day camp is available to children ages 7 to 17. It provides opportunities for grieving kids to build confidence, share their stories and their feelings and make lifelong connections.
The program culminates in a memorial service, during which each participant is invited to remember their loved one in his or her own way. Some read poems or play songs. One year, two brothers played basketball as their tribute to their dad, Kristin said.
Each child who attends the camp is paired with an adult "buddy," someone who has been through a similar experience. Though the camp can accommodate 40 children, last year it had to limit enrollment to 35 because there weren't enough adult male volunteers.
If this year's recruitment campaign is successful, the camp will be able to accommodate all 40 campers, Kristin said. And with enough support, and enough volunteer "buddies," the foundation will eventually be able to offer the camp twice a year, she said.
To date, the Sheilah Doyle Foundation has raised about $600,000 from grants, donations and fundraisers. In addition to paying for the camp, the foundation awards scholarships to high school seniors who have attended the camp. So far, it has awarded six scholarships, valued at $12,500.
The foundation also partners with Heart Connection at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park to provide counseling and bereavement events throughout the year. Last Christmas, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart donated more than 200 Brookfield Zoo passes to the foundation so it could invite 25 grieving families to participate in the zoo's tree-trimming event.
A robbery gone awry
The night of July 3, 1993, was like countless others for Sheilah Doyle. The nurse who specialized in alcohol and addiction treatment finished her 3 to 11 p.m. shift at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park and headed home.
As Doyle got out of her new Toyota Camry, she was accosted by two men inside her garage. The men, along with a third who was waiting inside his car, had followed her for at least 30 minutes to her driveway, planning to steal the hood of her car.
Cook County prosecutors said Gregory Jackson, of Country Club Hills, and a friend, Antwon Tyler, 22, had a few days earlier accidentally shot a bullet into the hood of a 1992 Toyota Camry owned by Jackson's mother. Their plan was to steal Doyle's car and swap out the damaged hood. Sadly, for less than $400, they could have had it replaced at a repair shop.
But Doyle, 40, fought back. As Jackson waited in his car, Tyler and Marcus Gray forced her into the trunk of her car and shot her once in the back of the head, authorities said. They then closed the garage door and fled. Nothing was stolen.
Bill Doyle awoke about 12:30 a.m. and, realizing his wife was not in bed, began a search. He opened the access door, noticed that her car was in the garage and that her purse and nurse bag were on the passenger seat of the car.
In the heartbreaking hours that followed, Bill would be taken in for questioning by Cook County sheriff's police, investigators would comb through Sheilah's belongings and Kelly, Kevin and Kristin would be told their mother had been killed.
By the following month, police arrested the three men. Tyler and Gray would be convicted of murder and receive life sentences. Jackson, who was a college student at the time and had stayed in the car, was acquitted.
In her memory
Kristin Doyle remembers her mom as being kind, empathetic and fun-loving. Among the last things Sheilah and Bill Doyle did together was attend a Tina Turner concert.
As children, Sheilah and her twin sister were in the foster care system before they were adopted by a couple in Nova Scotia, Kristin said.
"My mom was awesome," she said. "She was always laughing, and she never gave up on the people she helped at work."
Kristin recalled how she and her mom used to visit an older woman every week to help clean her house.
"We're not first responders, we're about helping kids after the dust has settled," Kevin said.
The foundation, he said, does as much for the Doyle children as it does for the children who come to camp.
"This is what my mom was — she never gave up on people," Kevin said. "We're just continuing on with what she did."

Customer Raves & Reviews
Even Better Than I Expected!
A Falling of Leaves Save the Date Magnets I found Magnet Street online and I knew I wanted Save the Dates in a magnet style. Their website had a huge amount of styles that would fit what I wanted for my Fall 2014 wedding. After choosing one and personalizing it, I selected the "Just One" option so I could see a real sample. This is a great option because I was able to see, hold and feel my magnet before I committed. I made an adjustment to the font size and color and placed my order. My magnets were delivered today and they're even better than I expected! I was surprised to receive them in a beautiful box with a lovely catalog for other items I can use for my wedding. It was like opening a gift! I highly recommend Magnet Street and I will be ordering my invitations and programs with them now too!
Exquisite Quality!
A Falling of Leaves Gate-fold Invitations I searched and searched for the perfect fall invitations. They had to be colorful, of great quality, and of course. . . Beautiful. I couldn't have found a more PERFECT invitation than A Falling of Leaves. The quality is unsurpassed! I just LOVE the texture and thickness of the linen stock paper; it made the cost worth every dime. The design was exactly what I was looking for. . .A prelude to our Autumn themed wedding. To say that the invitation was 'pretty' would be an insult. With the slender vellum holding it all together, it was simply LOVELY! Everyone was impressed! There really isn't much more that needs to be said, except, PLACE YOUR ORDER!
Excellent Service
Woodland Charms Half-fold Programs I can't say enough good things about how our save the date, invitations, and programs came out. Everything came out beautiful and affordable and was super easy to customize and navigate. Turn around times were faster than I had expected. I would highly recommend to any of my friends getting married. I am so happy with the way they turned out.
Exactly What I Wanted
Woodland Charms Save the Date Magnets I loved all the options I had when designing my entire stationary suite for my wedding. I just ordered and received my save the date magnets and couldn't ask for more! The colors, style, and quality are perfect for my wedding, and the experience ordering with magnetstreet was great. I really liked how I was able to track my save the dates through the entire process and knew when they were being reviewed, produced, and shipped. Great product and great experience.
The wedding program looked great!
Woodland Charms Square Tri-fold Programs Everyone loved it! The paper, imprint, and finishing looked beautiful! The free sample packaging is beautiful and helped me to choose the best paper. I was very happy and pleased with the program! The printed version looked as beautiful as the one I saw online, with no unexpected surprises. Thanks a lot!

'Under the Skin,' 'Black Dynamite: Season One' and 'The Last Days' Are the Best New Blu-ray/DVD Releases of the WeekFeatures By Rob Hunter on July 15, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Welcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. The Last Days Marc is living in the office building he used to call his place of employment, and he's not alone. Humanity worldwide has fallen victim to a deadly form of agoraphobia. Walk outside, and you're dead within seconds from fear. Three months into the epidemic Mark and another survivor manage to set out via the sewers in search of Marc's pregnant girlfriend, but their journey reveals a species on the brink of extinction. This Spanish production tackles a familiar subject — the post apocalyptic world — and imbues it not only with a fresh premise but also with real heart and character. It looks good too as special effects and production design come together to create a believably devastated world, and all of it is enhanced with a script that manages to hit some familiar beats without feeling redundant. The film is solid throughout, but the final thirty minutes offer some touching and exciting turns. Fans of the underseen but fantastic Perfect Sense should most definitely give it a shot.

'Orphan Black' Review: "By Means Which Have Never Been Tried"Features By Rob Hunter on June 22, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
The concern with Orphan Black — as with any series built on an ongoing mystery-based narrative — has always been that it's a television show operating on the hope of continued renewal. They're in no hurry to actually answer the mystery because the creators and network want the show to continue. Think Lost, Flash Forward or Prison Break. Unlike series like The X-Files or Fringe there's no episodic structure to fall back on throughout the season as every episode has to deal with that main mystery in some direct fashion. Each step closer to the solution is paired with another two steps back worth of new questions, characters and story turns. That fear came to fruition with last night's rushed, poorly written and frequently ridiculous season two finale.

'Orphan Black' Review: "Things Which Have Never Been Done"Features By Rob Hunter on June 15, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
The penultimate episode of Orphan Black's second season takes the somewhat unusual tactic — for this show anyway — of actually wrapping up story-lines instead of inundating viewers with dozens more. The biggies are still left dangling of course, but two of the clones have their immediate threats dealt with in some fairly conclusive (and highly entertaining) ways. The remaining three — Sarah, Cosima and Rachel — see their story threads intertwined even tighter as the race to use the medical miracle that is Kira leads to her abduction. It's an understandably dramatic moment, but some sloppy writing mutes some of its effect. Still, we're set for one hell of a final episode next week as a mother's wrath kicks into overdrive.
'Orphan Black' Review S02E08: "Variable and Full of Perturbation"Features By Rob Hunter on June 8, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
It seems like only last week that I was mildly decrying Orphan Black's habit of tossing new, important characters into the mix late in the game, thus creating new questions as an alternative to actually answering much in the way of previous questions. The latest episode has some fun at my expense by not only not bringing back last week's newbie (Michelle Forbes) but also by introducing yet another brand new character in the opening scene. Of course Tony's not just any new character though as he's actually a clone off the same assembly line as Sarah and the rest. Born a female like the rest, Tony's on his way to becoming a man through the use of testosterone and possible surgery (that or he has a sock stuffed down his boxers). Beyond what he brings to the narrative table — which is surprisingly little — Tony is a big step in the evolution of the show in that he allows star Tatiana Maslany to try on a new persona well outside of her normal beat. But while she earns points for trying, it looks like we've finally found proof that Maslany is human after all and capable of failure.
'Orphan Black' Review S02E07: "Knowledge of Causes, and Secret Motions of Things"Features By Rob Hunter on June 1, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
This is how good the most recent episode of Orphan Black is — not only did I not miss Helena, but I didn't even realize she was absent until the episode was over. If you've been following my coverage here you know that the Shakira-maned former assassin's personality (along with Tatiana Maslany's performance obviously) has made her the show's VIP for the last few episodes, but "Knowledge of Causes, and Secret Motions of Things" moves at such a fantastically exhilarating clip that there's no real time to pause and ponder what's missing. Even better, for as fast as the episode moves it's accomplished with a spectacular balance between the dramatic and the comedic. The ending's homage to a certain messy car scene from Pulp Fiction doesn't hurt either.
'Orphan Black' Review S02E06: "To Hound Nature in Her Wanderings"Features By Rob Hunter on May 25, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
For a show featuring murder, abduction, sexual assault and the subjugation of women by an oppressive patriarchy Orphan Black can sometimes vie for funniest series on television. This is not a particularly new observation one and a half seasons in, but but while past episodes have left most of the comedic styling to Alison and/or Felix this episode drops that responsibility squarely in Helena's lap. She's made us laugh before of course, but those small moments were no comparison to what the smile-inducing assassin manages here. A road-trip with Helena and her "seestra" Sarah is guaranteed to be a good time for viewers on the face of it, and Tatiana Maslany and the show's writers don't disappoint. The sixth episode of the second season isn't just very, very funny though as it also furthers the plot with a handful of answers and (surprise!) several more questions. Sarah gets a somewhat informative face to face with the elusive Swan Man, Helena is coaxed back into captivity and a whole bunch of odd pairings raise new doubts and concerns over who exactly can be trusted. Increasingly, and sometimes frustratingly, the answer to that question seems to be not a damn soul.
'Orphan Black' Review S02E05: "Ipsa Scientia Potestas Est"Features By Rob Hunter on May 18, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
For a show frequently focused on the evils that men do and the control that men have over women's bodies, the latest episode of Orphan Black strikes a very clear blow against that dynamic. It's not the first time of course as the series has always had fun with the gender dynamic, but the rarity here is that the scene in question is one of a woman using her power over a man in pursuit of sexual gratification. Rachel's discovery of her dead lover/monitor, Daniel, necessitates a replacement, and that's where Paul comes in as she quickly instructs him to settle into both roles. He's shocked to hear that Rachel even had a monitor, but her words and passive expression make it clear that while she retains control she's also aware of who and what she is. That awareness extends to the hold they have over Paul — knowledge and evidence of his involvement in a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan — and she applies it for her own domineering sexual interests. Is it rape? It's difficult to interpret Paul's dull stare, and I doubt he's unhappy being boned by Rachel, but it fits the definition of rape in the sense he's being coerced. Just as his hand has been forced into hunting Sarah, the threat the Dyad Institute holds over his freedom is an equally powerful motivator for letting Rachel do as she pleases with his manly bits. Power, and the constant threat of losing it, runs throughout the episode affecting each […]
'Orphan Black' Review S02E04: "Governed As It Were By Chance"Features By Rob Hunter on May 12, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
It's a sad norm in the world of television that narrative shortcuts are made solely for the sake of time and to ensure certain beats are hit before the next commercial break. The best writers learn how to fit everything they need into the allotted time and in a logical fashion. Others seem to care less about how exactly they get from point A to point C and just hope viewers either don't notice or don't care. Which brings me to the most recent episode of Orphan Black. There are some pretty big moments here that scream lazy writing in the interest of hitting certain dramatic beats, and I'm not giving them a pass. Thankfully though, while they might be enough to sink an episode of a lesser show their effect is overpowered and overshadowed by the absolute brilliance and execution of the final minutes.
'Orphan Black' Review S02E03: "Mingling Its Own Nature With It"Features By Rob Hunter on May 4, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Episode three of Orphan Black's sophomore season sees its four key clones (Tatiana Maslany) far apart geographically and evenly divided in regard to how they're handling their collective situation. Sarah and Alison are trying to remove themselves from the troubles as best they can, but while Sarah has taken a land route Alison is attempting more of an, ahem, liquid escape. Cosima and Helena meanwhile aren't going anywhere as the young scientist is facing her strange reality head-on while the Shakira-maned Russian is forced into immobility by forces outside her control. In addition to Art, Daniel and little dead-eyed Kira we also get to spend more time with our favorite religious cult, the creepy-ass Proletheans. But wait, there's more! Say hello to Sarah's ex, who steps out of an L.L. Bean catalog and into your hearts when it's revealed that he's actually… well, keep reading.
'Orphan Black' Review S02E02: "Governed By Sound Reason and True Religion"Features By Rob Hunter on April 27, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Season two of Orphan Black continues to move at a healthy clip with its second episode, but unlike the premiere this one allows us and the characters a bit more time to breathe. That's not to imply it's in any way dull though as we're actually treated to one of the show's better action-oriented scenes, and the kicker is that it doesn't even involve any of the clones (Tatiana Maslany). That's right, Mrs. S (Maria Doyle Kennedy) finally gets to bust out with some killer moves as she returns this week with a vengeance and a very big secret. The clones aren't sitting idly by though as we discover something new about each of them too.

'Orphan Black' Review S02E01: "Nature Under Constraint and Vexed"Features By Rob Hunter on April 20, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
When we last saw the clones of Orphan Black (all played to individual perfection by Tatiana Maslany) they were in quite a bit of disarray. Cosima was coughing up blood and working with a known traitor (of secrets and hearts) in Delphine, Alison was feeling content in her false sense of security, Helena was presumed dead after taking a bullet to the chest, Rachel was feeling confident in her ability to control the escalating situation and Sarah was panicking after discovering her daughter and foster mother seemingly abducted into the night. The season two premiere picks up immediately with that last and most important story thread, and it does so with an urgency missing from too many shows these days. The episode moves at a frantic pace, only pausing for a breath and some laughs when Alison appears. Even better than the energy and balanced tone, the episode directly deals with some of the first season's biggest weaknesses and plot discrepancies while adding new characters and levels of intrigue. Fair warning, this episode recap/review features spoilers, so if you haven't watched the season two premiere yet bookmark us and come back later.
'Orphan Black' Season Two Premieres Tonight! Here's a Quick Recap of Season OneFeatures By Rob Hunter on April 19, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Every TV show should be so lucky as to have their own Tatiana Maslany. The Canadian actress has been working steadily since 2003, mostly on television and the occasional blink-and-you'll-miss-her film appearance, but she became a bit of a sensation last year with her lead role (roles?) in BBC America's new series, Orphan Black. It helped that the show is entertaining, twisty and surprisingly funny, but the key to each and every episode is Maslany's incredibly diverse and nuanced performances. That may be confusing if for some inexplicable reason you haven't watched the show yet, but Maslany plays clones. Each one is unique in character and characteristics, in movement and expression, and she does masterful work bringing them each to individual life. Things get even more impressive when she plays one character impersonating another. And don't even get me started on her frequently displayed derriere. Season two premieres tonight, and since I'll be reviewing the episodes going forward I wanted to take a quick look back at the first season to bring everyone up to speed. I re-watched all ten episodes and was reminded of the show's numerous strengths, its handful of weaknesses and the seemingly limitless power of Maslany.
