So excited for all these Utah digi scrappers!!
Welcome Amythyst & Reese!!
You're in fun company! Can't wait to have you jump right in!
I'm down here in southern utah. I want to start digital scrapping but I'm not sure where to start. There are so many things to learn! I wish there was a class i could go to down here. Which program is easiest to use with all the different templates and things you can download? And once you get them done, what's a good way to print them if you don't have a 12x12 printer but want to print them 12x12?
Hi there!
Digital is so much fun! I think you'll be addicted in no time!
I have to say, having used PSE and PS, that I think a good place to start is Photoshop Elements. We actually have classes here online to teach you! You can check them out HERE
There are also tutorials and things that can be found HERE...you can see that the first section is "getting started."
Also, with regards to printing, there are many places online that you can have them printed, including our printing services HERE.
Don't be afraid to ask any question, big or small, in the forum! There's always someone around who's happy to try and answer it for you!
It's wonderful to have you here, and I'm looking forward to seeing your pages in the gallery!
Welcome, susblog! If you're really unsure how to start there are a few commercial digiscrapping programs--which are easy to use and come with supplies--that would get you started. Once you get a program (whether it's a scrapping program or something such as Elements), then just jump right in and try doing a layout for one of the challenges. It's easy to use a template like the desktop templates that are given away, or a Quick Page which only requires adding a picture or two.
Check with OneMemory, she is in southern Utah and has tutored many people on Photoshop.
Thanks everyone! You all replied so fast! and now I have a few good places to start! I'll let you know how it goes!
I don't live in Utah, at least not anymore. I lived there for 3 years while I was going to school. I only got into digiscraping last Feb. I've bee surprised at how many people I know is into to it, that I had no clue they were before. Digiscraping is catching on.
It was fun reading your thread.
I am a Utah girl! I live south of Provo! I have just found this thread. I have been with GDS for years and I have been digiscrapping for 12 yrs. I started when my oldest was a baby because it was cleaner and I could do it while holding her!
In the past couple years I have learned a lot! I love digiscrapping. I am sad because I am on a desk top computer because my laptop became unreliable. I would love to get together and do a digiscrap party. As soon as I get a laptop.
I am so excited to see that there are digi scrappers out there in Utah. I am from Salt Lake living in Southern Utah for the present time. I have been doing things digitally for some time now. I think it is the best and takes up much less space.
Let's keep it together!
We're getting quite a few Utah digi scrappers now. I don't often see any in the real world. :)

This may not be a popular position, but here it is anyway: I'm a big Lean Pockets fan. Not because they particularly delicious, but rather, they are a cheap eat for a college student like myself. There are chunks of hamburger which are surprisingly good. They are about the same size as the meatballs in the Lean Pockets Meatball & Mozzarella. The chunks of hamburger are spread evenly and you'll find plenty in every bite. The cheese is creamy and tasty, however the overall taste of cheeseburger was mild, and the pocket crisping sleeve makes the entire "pocket" crisp and crunchy on the outside, but warm and soft on the inside.
The box includes 2 pockets each of which has 280 calories, 7 grams of total fat (12% of RDA), 3.5 grams of saturated fat which a whopping 18% of RDA), 560mg of sodium (23% of RDA), 40 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber (11% of RDA), and 12 grams of protein.
Unfortunately, this is not as "lean" as I would like. Too much saturated fat and sodium. Like the Lean Pockets Meatball and Mozzarella Sub, I would say that this product was average. Most other "pocket type sandwiches" like Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice Paninis and Flatbread Melts have similar fat and sodium content.

Embroidered Wool Coat: Up the style quotient in outerwear that stands apart. This warm wool coat features striking contrasting- color embroidery with clear sequins on the front and back. The details make the difference!
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 5.00 out of 1 votes cast
I bought this coat to wear as part of my Halloween costume, and it is everything it looks like in the picture. My measurements are 36-29-36, with shoulders 42 inches around, so I agonized over what size to get. I am 5'7 and it hangs around my knees-- just what I wanted. Size small fits perfectly, with *just enough* room you could wear a thin sweater for extra warmth. I can't speak for durability since I haven't had it long and do not intend to use it as an every day item. Also I don't it would not be enough by itself for the worst of winter days when it's windy, freezing and miserable. I bought it for looks alone and it is superb. This is great to enhance a vampire look for Halloween, or for anyone who is bold and loves to make a grand entrance. Fantastic.

Brothers All Natural has a good thing going with its Freeze-dried fruit (try the Brothers All Natural Strawberry Banana Fruit Crisps), so when they recently introduced Potato Crisps, which was named 2008 Best New Disney Product, I snagged some right away. These products can be hard to find, so I went online (brothersallnatural.com) and ordered a variety pack (2 8-packs for $14.99, with free shipping). The flavors are quite interesting - you've got Original with Sea Salt, Black Pepper & Sea Salt, Fresh Onion & Garlic, and Szechuan Pepper & Fresh Chives. Certainly a little more interesting than your run-of-the-mill Baked Lays Potato Chips, right?
I decided to get the Original and Szechuan flavors. What I found was that these had a strange 'melt-in-your-mouth' consistency, that was at first a bit off-putting, but I eventually grew to like. I much preferred the "Original" to the Szechuan, as interesting as the latter was. These crisps don't really taste like "real" potato chips. The only ingredients in the Original flavor are fresh potatoes and sea salt, but these guys are freeze-dried to "bring the potato slice to a crisp". I agree with Marvo, who reviewed these at The Impulsive Buy, "the Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps are like the diet cola of potato chips. You won't like the taste at first, but you'll eventually get used to it, because you have to."
Each 0.42 ounce bag provides 45 calories, no fat, 280 mg sodium (12% of the daily value), 1 gram of fiber, and 1 gram of protein. They are also Gluten free (more details can be found on their website). Those might look like impressive stats at first glance, but this serving size is less than half of a regular serving of chips.
Since these bags are so small, I ended up eating 2 bags instead of 1 as a snack, which means each "real serving" actually cost me about $2. I liked these ... okay, but I don't think I'll be buying huge quantities any time soon.

Africa Attacks the International Criminal Court
What are we to make of the fact that in its eleven-year history, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has prosecuted only Africans? Should the court be condemned for discrimination—for taking advantage of Africa's weak global position—as some African leaders contend? Or should it be applauded for giving long-overdue attention to atrocities in Africa—a sign that finally someone is concerned about the countless ignored African victims, as many African activists contend? This debate is at the heart of one of the most serious challenges the ICC has ever faced. If the current attack on it succeeds, the court's future may be in doubt.
The ICC was founded in 2002, under a treaty negotiated at a global conference in Rome, as an independent judicial body that would challenge impunity for the gravest international crimes—genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Unlike the International Court of Justice, which is also based in The Hague but settles legal disputes between states, the International Criminal Court addresses mass atrocities committed by individuals. To avoid prosecution, ruthless national leaders too often threaten, corrupt, or compromise judges and prosecutors at home, but those in The Hague should be beyond the reach of such obstructionism. The ICC is meant as a court of last resort for victims and survivors who cannot find justice in their own country and as a deterrent to leaders who have little to fear from domestic prosecution. The court has now been accepted by 122 states. The United States has not joined it out of fear that Americans might be prosecuted.
The issue of the ICC's focus on Africa has gained prominence as it proceeds against its most powerful suspect so far, President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya. He is accused of directing some of the violence that shook his country in late 2007 and early 2008 following vigorously contested elections. An estimated 1,100 people were killed and as many as 650,000 were forced to flee their homes.
Kenyatta has appeared in The Hague voluntarily and has mounted a vigorous defense. But he has also used his position as head of state to turn every available weapon against the court in an effort to avoid prosecution. The Kenyan government has solicited demands from the African Union that he not be required to appear at trial. It has asked the United Nations Security Council to delay the case. It has pleaded with the governments that are members of the ICC to change the rules, and it has sent diplomats around Africa with the apparent aim of orchestrating a mass withdrawal from the court. None of these efforts so far has stopped the case from proceeding.
The ICC is hardly an institution that looks anti-African. Its largest block of members—34 of its 122 states—is from Africa, and they were central in negotiating the Rome treaty that established the court. Those thirty-four states—including Kenya—represent a solid majority of Africa's fifty-four nations. The ICC's chief prosecutor is an African—Fatou Bensouda of Gambia. She assumed the post in 2012 after having served for eight years as the deputy prosecutor. Africans serve among the court's judges and the prosecutor's staff.
Moreover, the ICC's focus on Africa is largely not of its own doing. In five of the eight countries where it is actively prosecuting suspects—Uganda, Mali, Ivory Coast, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo—the African state in question asked the court to intervene, often with significant encouragement from victims and local rights groups. In two other countries—Sudan and Libya—the UN Security Council asked that the ICC become involved. Only in the case of Kenya did the ICC act entirely on its own initiative.
In fact the focus on Africa largely reflects current limits on the reach of international justice. The court can exercise jurisdiction only when the crime was committed by a citizen of a member state or on the territory of a member state, or if the situation is referred to the court by the UN Security Council. Certain obvious non-African candidates for prosecution are from states that have never joined the court, such as Sri Lanka, North Korea, Uzbekistan, Israel, Palestine, Syria, or Iraq. The Security Council could have given the ICC jurisdiction over crimes in these cases, but the council's permanent members have tended to shield nations they favor from the court's attention. The UN General Assembly, where no state has a veto, lacks the power to grant the court jurisdiction.
Until the ICC began investigating African presidents, it had broad support from African governments. President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, for example, applauded the court's pursuit of several militia leaders from eastern Congo who committed many abuses against civilians. His government has surrendered four suspects to the court, including Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, the court's one conviction to date, and Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui, its one acquittal. Another Congolese suspect, the rebel commander Bosco Ntaganda, surrendered, apparently fearing for his life. The ICC's charges contributed to his loss of power, as he became too much of a liability even for his own rebel group and his Rwandan backers.
Though still in its early years, with few prosecutions to its name, the ICC gains support from human rights groups and many ordinary citizens because of its promise of justice for the victims of mass atrocities. Its very existence can have a deterrent effect. Laurent Nkunda, the once high-profile leader of another vicious Rwandan-backed rebel group in eastern Congo, illustrates how the ICC might help to prevent atrocities. In 2007 and 2008, he regularly called Human Rights Watch's Congo researcher, Anneke Van Woudenberg, to discuss his concern that the ICC might target him because of abuses committed by his troops. The ICC never seriously investigated him or Rwandan leaders, but his fear that it might do so is an example of how the court can discourage atrocities. He has been under house arrest in Rwanda since 2009.
For some African leaders, the court's involvement in their country has engendered more mixed feelings. President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, who has become one of the chief backers of Kenyatta's campaign against the ICC, initially invited the court to prosecute leaders of the Lord's Resistance Army, a ruthless rebel group that was formed in Uganda two decades ago and operates by kidnapping children and forcing them to fight. But several years after the court issued arrest warrants for the LRA's notorious leader, Joseph Kony, and four of his deputies, Museveni's attitude shifted. It seems he feared both that prosecution might complicate his efforts to negotiate peace with the LRA and that the ICC might someday turn its attention to him and his government.
Similarly the president of the Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara, seemed content when his rival, former president Laurent Gbagbo, was sent to The Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity. But Ouattara now does not like the prospect that the ICC might pursue atrocities committed by forces that supported him during the civil war that broke out after contested elections in 2010.
Some of the ICC's problems are of its own making. The chief prosecutor for its first nine years, Luis Moreno Ocampo of Argentina, seemed more interested in issuing arrest warrants than undertaking the tough, less glamorous work of conducting rigorous criminal investigations. So far six of the thirty-one prosecutions he launched—three in Kenya, two in Congo, and one in Sudan—have been withdrawn, dismissed, or led to acquittal due to lack of evidence. (The acquittal is still under appeal.) The new prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, has been building up her office's investigative capacity. In addition, there are a few member states outside Africa where the ICC prosecutor has considered acting, but the issue has been under review for years without a decision on whether to open formal investigations. For example, in the case of Afghanistan—which theoretically could implicate US and other foreign troops there—the ICC prosecutor has cited difficulties due to security considerations and a lack of cooperation by key sources. In the case of Colombia, the existence of some domestic prosecutorial efforts has been a significant consideration, though the new chief prosecutor is concerned about Bogotá's willingness to see justice done.
In its initial years, perhaps in an effort to establish itself and build political support, the ICC seemed to focus on widely despised figures who lacked a powerful constituency—people like the child-kidnapping Kony or the warlords of eastern Congo. That changed in 2009, when the court sought to arrest President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan for atrocities committed as he tried to quell the rebellion in the country's western region of Darfur. Yet even Bashir is widely loathed because he presided over a series of scorched-earth counterinsurgency efforts—not only in Darfur but also in southern Sudan, where he fought against an ultimately successful secessionist movement, and against a separate rebellion in the south-central Nuba Mountains.
Today, although the ICC has issued an order for his arrest, Bashir is still in power in Khartoum. He has been trying to regain his legitimacy and thumb his nose at the court by traveling to various countries that promise not to arrest him. Often under pressure from local rights activists and media, among others, most ICC members have refused to play along, or have done so only halfheartedly, even after the African Union (AU) asked its member states not to surrender him. For example, this past July, Nigeria admitted Bashir to an AU summit but Bashir, apparently fearing arrest as Nigerian groups filed a court action, fled within twenty-four hours of arrival without speaking at the summit. In recent years, South Africa threatened him with arrest if he attended the inauguration of President Jacob Zuma, Malawi refused him entrance to an AU summit, Kenya blocked him from attending a regional summit, and he canceled trips to Zambia and the Central African Republic.
A handful of African states have been willing to receive Bashir, as has China. But since the ICC called for his arrest, his movements have been severely restricted and his international stature diminished. The UN Security Council never took up Sudan's request to defer his prosecution. This past September, Bashir floated the idea of attending the opening of the UN General Assembly in New York. But amid calls for his arrest he canceled the trip when protests broke out in Sudan about local economic issues.

Millcreek taxpayers — let's all thank Felix & Gloeckler
Last night, the Millcreek School Board met with auditors to discover that on-leave superintendent Michael Golde allegedly ordered the business manager to bump $5 million from the capital fund to the operating budget in July and return it in October, according to Terry Scutella. Assistant superintendent William Hall didn't believe Golde knew he did anything wrong. Hmm….

text: This time we visited the annual Doheny Wood car show presented by the Southern California Woodies Club, held at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California. It was a cool and "soupy" Saturday morning and afternoon—much different from the sunny, breezy conditions we experienced last year. Nevertheless, Grant and I were covered with an assortment of 150-plus woodies on the beachfront parking lot. In addition to the cars, there were vintage and handmade long board surfboards, skateboards, wooden carved tiki statues, and even a talented young lady with a P.A. and microphone, singing while strumming her ukelele. Grant was just as fascinated by several Amtrak/Metrolink passenger trains rushing by on the track adjacent to us between the parking lot and Pacific Coast Highway.

All week, CNBC has been running segments on the biggest investment mistakes Wall Street's smartest investors have made. Among the experts who made mistakes: Pimco's Bill Gross, Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett and BP Capital Management's T. Boone Pickens. Bill Gross refused a loan to Warren Buffett when Buffett was starting his own firm. He also passed when Sam Walton came to him with one Wal-Mart store and wanted to raise funds to expand his store.
In hearing about these mistakes, I thought about mine and what I could share with readers that would help them in managing their portfolio. I have certainly made many investment mistakes during the more than 20 years that I have worked in the industry, and believe that I have learned from every one of them to become a better investor. Perhaps the most costly one has been one that I think many of us are guilty of: portfolio neglect.
As the saying goes: "The cobbler's children have no shoes." Sometimes I spend so much time with my clients and business that I neglect my own portfolio. When I recall the bull markets and how I got distracted or busy with clients and left so much of my investment portfolio in cash, the mistake adds up to more than the total of the bad decisions that I have made.
As I asked my peers in the industry, I was surprised to hear much of the same. We in the investment business have all the tools and knowledge of investing at our fingertips but we put it aside with plans to get to it another day.
So how do you prevent investment portfolio neglect?
At a basic level, it means looking at your investment portfolio's assets every quarter. But, depending on the types of assets in your investment portfolio, you may want to review it more often.
Getting back to my peers, I also learned that many of them have handed their personal investment portfolios to another advisor to manage. The management fee feels small compared to the damage that can be done through neglect. If I had done this a long time ago, my investment portfolio would have earned much more than what it has to date. I have since gotten disciplined and now manage my investment portfolio right along with those of my clients.
So think about your investment portfolio and be sure you are giving it the ongoing attention that an investment portfolio needs. If not, remember, an annual management fee is small relative to the costly mistakes that can be made.

Hahaha. Swanni is such a clown. Jumped the gun on the criticism. Then his correction is just a line above the premature article. Then he calls NGW National Geographic and claims Ion HD is in the mobile guides while everyone here noticed it wasn't as a hint that it wasn't going to launch.

My name is Austin Marques and I am looking for a deathwatch gaming group. It would be preferable if it were on the west side of town but it is not a requirement. I have asked around Phoenix games and Dreamers games and there are none there so i realize that the chances of it is on the west side of town are low. If the group met bi weekly I would probably be able to make it down as far as the event center, the source, or outpost 2000. As I am taking some advanced classes in school right now, a group that does not meet on a week night would be preferable. If anyone knows of any groups please let me know.

So, FFG finally released the FAQ!!
But does it solve all our problems? Use this place to duscuss any issues that the FAQ might have not made entirely clear.
Reading through, one thing I noticed is that they seem to have changed, or made a mistake, with the rules for squads providing corner cover for other squads.
The rulebook clearly said that squads do not provide corner cover for other squads. Page 14, right under the picture: "If X is a squad, Assault Rangers for instance, the Combat Rangers would not benefit from cover. The Grenadiers could shoot either of the two units and neither one would benefit
from cover since a squad does not provide cover for another squad. (A square occupied by a squad is not "without a dot.")"
But the FAQ says otherwise. Page 2, at the beginning: "The BBQ Squad benefits from corner cover when attacked by the Kommandotrupp because squads block line of sight when attacked by other squads."
So, the two rulings are clearly contradicting each other. Should we just go with the FAQ, since it's the most recent ruling? (the whole "square without a dot" thing was always a mess...)

Small Perfume Bottle Table Lamp:
This product is manufactured in compliance with U.S. standards. If product is to be used outside of the U.S., use only with the appropriate outlet adapter and voltage converter for your country. Do not plug into an electrical outlet higher than 110-120V as this could result in fire and/or injury.
Material: Glass
Brand: Jamie Young
Origin: Imported
The beautiful lamps, furniture, home accessories and fabric that make up the Jamie Young oeuvre have an origin story that's as charming as they are: artists Jamie Young and David Jeter credit a 1997 daytrip to Mexico as the springboard for the launch of their thriving company. While south of the border, they purchased a trunk load of rustic garden pots and planters from a roadside stand, and then promptly resold the lot to their neighborhood flower shop; that experience inspired the couple to manufacture their own line of weathered, culturally-influenced wares and, eventually, open an L.A.-based showroom. Today the company supplies their elegant pieces, from table lamps to occasional furniture to jewelry, to stores throughout the country and luxury hotel chains around the world.

You are here"Origins Science" Bill in Ohio
On January 23, 2002 House Bill 481 was introduced in the Ohio General Assembly. This bill would require that "origins science" be "taught objectively and without religious, naturalistic, or philosophic bias or assumption." Although the bill does not contain the words "biology" or "evolution", it uses the phrase "origin of life and its diversity" several times, as well as "origins science". Pennsylvannia School District Votes for Creationism Seminar
The West Green School Board in Rogersville, Pennsylvania voted on Thursday, January 24th, to allow a Biblical Creationist to give a creationism seminar to students during class time. Those not wishing to attend could choose not to do so.
High School Principal Brian Jackson reviewed a tape from Creationist Steve Grohman, who asserts that evolution is not true science and both creationism and evolution should be taught, according to the Observer-Reporter. New Anti-Evolution Legislation Introduced
On January 18, 2002 a new anti-evolution bill was introduced in the Washington State Senate and referred to the Education Committee. According to the bill's digest, SB 6500: "Finds that the teaching of the theory of evolution in the common schools of the state of Washington is repugnant to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and thereby unconstitutional and unlawful.
Ohio BOE to Hold Panel Discussion on Intelligent Design
The Ohio Board of Education will hold a panel discussion featuring both advocates and opponents of including intelligent design (ID) in the newly drafted statewide science standards at its March meeting. The decision to hold the discussion came after a contentious meeting on Sunday, January 14th, at which lawyer John Calvert, of the Kansas based Intelligent Design Network, made the case for inclusion of the controversial field in the standards. Opponents of ID were not allowed to speak at the meeting.
Washington State Disclaimer Bill Still in Committee
Senate Bill 6058 was continued into the current session of the Washington state legislature on January 14, 2002. The bill would require "all science textbooks purchased with state moneys" to contain an evolution disclaimer very similar to that required in Alabama since 1995. The bill received its first reading in February of 2001 and was referred to the Education Committee, where it stalled. It was continued in April, 2001 in a special session, but again no action was taken.

Charleroi must leap hurdles to fight blight
An example of the ornamentation the borough wants to save from the old Columbus Hotel, scheduled for demolition at the corner of Third Street and McKean Avenue

Final preparations are under way to demolish the old Columbus Hotel in Charleroi's historic district.

This abandoned house at 735 Fallowfield Ave. in Charleroi is among 20 blighted structures that need to be demolished in the borough, which is on the National Register of Historic Districts.

CHARLEROI – It's always a challenge in Charleroi to tap into federal funds to tear down a building, whether it's a one-room shack or an abandoned historic hotel.
The borough is unique in the region because every square inch of the town is protected under state and federal historic preservation laws, which always trigger a costly study to record a building's history before moving forward with demolishing blight when the Washington County Redevelopment Authority takes the lead.
"They want to tear down 20 structures. We can't afford recordations for all of these problems," said Nathan Voytek, a community development specialist the authority has assigned to Charleroi, where a large swath of property has received protection since 2007 under the National Register of Historic Districts program. The rest of the town has been deemed eligible for the register, meaning the same protection applies. The borough was approved for the register for its architecture representing the late-Victorian period to the Roaring Twenties.
Voytek said the state Historical and Museum Commission, which steps in to mitigate when Charleroi blight is slated for removal, has indicated it understands the borough's issues with abandoned properties and believes there is some flexibility to the preservation laws that apply to the borough.
The borough is planning to meet with the PHMC, redevelopment authority and local historical society to get a better definition on how to lower the cost of the recordation process while still taking the time to document a building's history to better serve the community, Charleroi Borough Manager Donn Henderson said.
"We want to have something with a lasting value rather than just create a file to set on a shelf," Henderson said. "They realize we're burdened."
"We don't want to be an obstruction," added PHMC spokesman Howard Pollman.
The redevelopment authority announced its decision to step back from paying a consultant in the future to create a historic documentation in Charleroi before demolition after spending nearly $8,000 to clear that hurdle at the PHMC to tear down the historic, three-story Columbus Hotel at Third Street and McKean Avenue. A company has been awarded a $50,000 contract to tear down the hotel in two months.
The building has a rich history, but it was purchased three times on the Internet by corporations that are difficult to locate, Henderson said. It fell victim to arson and other deterioration to the point it has become a hazard.
It was built in the early 1900s following a land-grab sale by David Gelb, a liquor wholesaler from Pittsburgh, who also sold to Charleroi the land where its borough building sits today, said Nikki Sheppick, chairwoman of the Charleroi Area Historical Society.
"It goes back to the beginning of Charleroi," she said.
She said she is willing to meet with the authority and Henderson about a plan for future architectural record-keeping and hopes the end result doesn't involve politics.
"People want to feel good about where they live," she said.

The quality of these shoes is second to NONE. They are beautifully made of the softest leather imaginable and when you put them on the insoles are as soft as marshmallow. Unbelievable, but then, only what I've come to expect from Hush Puppies

Like the coral/off white colour combo and they feel generally comfortable apart from a little bit of rubbing across the top but I am sure that will go as they soften with wear.

Finding Apartments for Rent in Minneapolis, MN
A vibrant urban center in the land of 10,000 lakes, Minneapolis's claim to fame is that it has more theater seats per capita than any city outside of New York. The city has won attention for its stress-free atmosphere, great bicycling trails, hipster vibe, and its welcoming attitude toward interracial couples and gay rights. Minneapolis boasts neighborhoods and attractions that are just right for families, couples, professionals, their furry pets, and almost everyone in between, and the only challenge is choosing the perfect place to live.
Top Neighborhoods in Minneapolis, MN
Full of fabulously fun and diverse neighborhoods, Minneapolis offers something for everyone. If you want to live close to the action, an apartment in downtown is exactly the thing for you. Close to bars, restaurants, entertainment, and shopping, downtown offers an urban living experience that is perfect for the busy person who wants a short commute. If you live in downtown, getting around in winter is never a problem because all of the skyscrapers are linked by the skyway system. Located on the second floor of all major downtown office and apartment buildings, the skyway system is an innovative hallway system – thanks to these halls, you can walk for miles without ever going outside.
Just across the Mississippi from downtown is the quaint and comfortable St Anthony Main neighborhood. Centered around the Old St Anthony business district, this small area is perfect for people who love walks near the river and a relative proximity to downtown. Nearby Northeast is a traditionally working class area, but in recent years, the area has attracted many young couples and families. A close-knit and funky community, Nordest – as its residents call it – is home to the iconic Psycho Suzie's Motor Lounge and the deliciously campy Nye's Polonaise Room as well as crunchy co-ops, great coffee shops and small bakeries.
Located in the center of Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota has one of the biggest college campuses in the world, and it is surrounded by modern apartments and old mansions – many of which were previously owned by famous Minnesota families like the Pillsbury's – that have been turned into student housing. An ideal location for graduate students as well as faculty members, the University area boasts lots of condos, ethnic restaurants representing great world cuisine, and countless used bookstores.
Nokomis and Longfellow are located in the southeast corner of the city near Lake Nokomis and Minnehaha falls. Full of craftsman style homes built in the 1920s and quiet tree-line streets, these neighbors attract many families as well as professionals who are interested in the areas' new condo and apartment developments.
Southwest of downtown is the city's biggest park, Loring park. Surrounded by hip bars and beautiful apartment buildings, this park has been a well known social hub for years, and it is surrounded by the Loring Park neighborhood which leads into Calhoun-Lake of the Isles area including Uptown. The premiere destination for anyone who considers themselves cool, uptown is the hipster's antidote to downtown. The area is home to bars, theaters and Bryant Lake Bowl, a combination live theater and bowling alley.
Cultural Attractions in Minneapolis, MN
One of the most iconic images of Minneapolis is the Spoonbridge and Cherry. A sculpture designed by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, the Spoonbridge and Cherry is part of the sculpture garden located outside of the world renowned Walker Art Center. The center features a stunning permanent collection of modern art, and it has rotating exhibitions along with films and speeches.
Next door to the Walker is the city's most respected theater, The Gutherie. This theater's professional ensemble tends to focus on classics like Othello or My Fair Lady. However, residents who want to see cutting edge or experimental work can turn to one of the city's many other fine theaters including Penumbra, Latte Da, Mixed Blood, or the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater to name just a few of the options. During the summer, independent writers and actors flood venues all over town for the Fringe Festival.
Weather in Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis is the coldest major city in the country, beating even Anchorage, and its January average temperature are about 24 degrees Fahrenheit in the day and a balmy seven degrees in the evening. In the winter, the city slows down a bit, but as soon as the summer hits, high temperatures are a gorgeous 79 to 84 degrees, perfect for a dip in the area's many lakes, all of which feature ice skating or ice fishing in the winter.
Nightlife in Minneapolis, MN
Nightlife in Minneapolis is as diverse as the city's waking life. Residents can enjoy an evening at any of the city's fine theaters, they can munch on world-class fare at an award winning restaurant, or they can dance the night away at a club or bar. There are also professional sports teams, scholastic lectures, and other attractions available in the evening.
Open for almost a century, the Gay 90s is a dance club for everyone that features drag queen reviews. First Avenue & 7th Street Entry brings small bands of every genre to town, but the Dakota Jazz Club is where you need to duck into if you exclusively love jazz. The problem with Minneapolis's nightlife is never finding something to do. Instead, it is deciding what to do.

2nd Roll of Kodak Aerochrome
My favorite image in this roll was an accidental double-exposure. That said, I feel this roll was slightly less successful than the first roll because I overdid it with the reds. The images mostly only have red, white, black, and sometimes a little blue (just 4 colors???). I hope this will be another learning lesson for me and will try to do better on my next roll. Aerochrome is great but it's rare and precious.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by kamera-man with a Holga 120 N loaded with Kodak Aerochrome III 1443 film in San Francisco, California, United States.

After our New Year's resolutions have begun to fade and before our Valentine's Day hopes ignite is a very good time to consider some relationship repairs.
Easy fixes and absolute nixes are what we all need, and while the fixes may be easy to identify, they are harder to put into practice.
First Date Focus
The very word "communication" can turn our hearts and our libido off, but maybe a better approach to relating to each other is to call it First Date Focus. We have all been on that incredibly important first date where we really connected with the other person and were fascinated by the tales they told and actively engaged in the give and take of talking and listening.
While we still may be with the same first date, we no longer may be really communicating. Granted it is easier to listen when the stories are all new, but a little bit of that same conversational affirmation on a day to day basis is a great relationship fix.
According to psychologists and psychiatrists, we spend much of our personal lives not feeling heard by the very people we love the most. For men, the hardest part of day to day conversation is talking enough, and for women, the hardest part is that men are not responsive enough. Men often complain of conversation overload and women complain of a conversational desert.
If both sexes could remember the art and emotion of the First Date Focus and vow to apply it every day, we all would feel more connected. At least we can try.
Just Us…Starring In Our Own Lives
The term "date night" has become hackneyed, but the reasons for it are emotionally healthy. Everyone now is simply too busy. Stay at home parents are expected to be caretakers, cleaners, and charitable leaders. Working parents are stunned with expectation overload in a troubled economy with technological advances that keep everyone available on a 24/7 basis. What's a couple to do?
The answer is to remember that the whole constellation of children, mortgages, cars, schools and even friends began with the explosion of when your two hearts met. If you do not devote some time and attention to each other, that entire constellation can and probably will fall out of the sky. You have to keep the relationship "us" centered – two against the world and two together. The only way to do that is by absenting yourself even for a few hours from the daily same-ole grind, and pay attention to the wonderful, special twosome that you are.
Growing Together…Passionate Pursuits
Both in and out of the bedroom, after the hormonal high wears down, a good relationship takes effort. It may not be romantic but it is reality.
One easy fix is to begin something new together. Whether it is golf, tennis or cooking, and even if one of you knows more about it than the other, activities can be great glue and, by the way, stimulating.
Generally, your friends are people you like to be with and who are doing things you like to do. And often the best of lovers are the best of friends. There is a memorable line from the Shawshank Redemption which is a great moral for relationships: "Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying." Every relationship that is not on its way up is in danger of going down, so get busy living happily ever after together.
Three Absolute Nixes
If you want your lives to be happy, avoid like the plague the temptation to DEMEAN the one you allegedly love. Cheap shots are so easy and very tempting in the heat of battle, but they leave emotional scars no matter who wins the war.
As a family lawyer, I hear the wounding stories from broken couples over and over. Words are like arrows and cannot be taken back, so it is better to just not say it in the first place.
Even worse than private sniping is the public DENIGRATING of your significant other. We have all seen it and been mortified by it – even when we were not even the intended victim. The odd thing is when one denigrates their loved ones publicly, they make themselves look hateful to everyone within earshot.
Finally, do not DISMISS those things that matter to your loved one even if they seem insignificant to you. Whether it is as large an issue as religion or as relatively small as a spotless car, pay some attention to that which matters to the one who matters to you. Usually the effort to be at least respectful, if not wholly responsive, is not that burdensome…and the payoff is at least peace and maybe even joy!

I assume there are folks in the food industry who oppose labeling of genetically modified food, but they have elected to take a pass on vocal opposition to the "Just Label It" campaign.
Right now genetically modified food is associated with chemical companies and agribusiness giants.
If genetically engineered fruits and vegetables delivered better taste, elevated nutrition or some other Rx for healthy living, perhaps retailers would be the first to say government mandated labeling of genetically engineered food is not needed.
After all, they would be drawing up the point-of-sale signs themselves.

According to an article by the Associated Press the College Board, "must vote a second time before the plan becomes final. Average in-state tuition and fees would rise 2.8 percent to $6,509 in fall 2014. In 2015, average tuition would rise 3 percent to $6,703.
"The plans would push tuition above $7,000 a year at the University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University and the University of Southern Mississippi."
Alcorn State and Jackson State will also raise tuition but by smaller percentages than Ole Miss and MSU.
Delta State, Mississippi Valley State, and Mississippi University for Women are the only public schools that plan no increases over the next two years.
"For fiscal year 2014-15 (July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015), which is essentially the 2014-2015 academic year, Delta State University will not increase its tuition or fees," said DSU President Bill LaForge.
"While the additional revenue would be very welcomed in helping to deal with our budget concerns, I believe that it is important to keep the price tag of a college education at a reasonable level for our students and their parents.
"Basic tuition will remain at $6,012 per year through 2015. Next year we will reassess the situation to determine whether an increase is merited beyond 2015.
"Once again, Delta State is standing by its commitment to an affordable education," said LaForge. "I worry that any tuition increase at this time would be too much of a stretch for many students who plan to come to Delta State or continue their education here.
"I have conferred with the chief executives of the state's other public universities, the commissioner of higher education, and my cabinet on campus, and I conclude that it is in the best interest of Delta State at this particular time to maintain our current level of tuition," said LaForge.
"Particularly at a point in time when we are making every effort to attract new and more students to Delta State, I don't want even a slight increase in tuition to stand in the way of a potential student's decision to enroll here.
"I want Delta State to be competitive in the market place for students, and this decision supports that notion," he explained. "Delta State will continue to offer excellent academic programs with no reduction in quality. Consequently Delta State is now even more of a value and bargain for our students in comparison to any other university."

(Attica, OH) Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway will continue their cooperative spirit in 2012, when both tracks will incorporate transponder scoring for all divisions.Attica's weekly Friday night events include winged 410 sprints, winged 305 sprints, UMP DIRTcar late models and dirt trucks. Fremont 's weekly Saturday night events include winged 410 sprints, winged 305 sprints and dirt trucks.The cost if a race team chooses to purchase the transponder unit is $235 which includes the transponder, charger, orange protective pouch and shipping. The rental fee is $5 per night. Both tracks will incorporate the Westhold system (yellow transponder) that is used by the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions.
Late Models and Dirt Trucks can purchase the direct battery wired version (the Orange transponder) for $200.Both tracks tested the transponder units toward the end of the 2011 season and they held up well, according to track officials."The transponders can help reduce scoring errors and help speed up the night's program. We will still use human scorers as a back-up. The scorers at both tracks do an excellent job…it's a very difficult task to hand score and these ladies have carried out the task in a professional manner for many, many years," said Attica Director of Operations Rex LeJeune.Ross Paulson, who has volunteered for several seasons helping with line-ups, scoring, track point systems, sponsorship, etc., will be in charge of the transponder program and has the units available for sale.For more information contact Rex LeJeune at 419-680-5606 or Ross Paulson at 419-355-0011.

These sheets are fabulous. They are sturdy, crisp and big - they drape nicely over the edge and tuck in well at the foot. I didn't realize the set included a pillowcase and hadn't ordered any because some reviews said they were small. But, when the sheets came, there was a pillowcase too. It is NOT small. It fits well over a large pillow with some looseness to boot. I want to pass on all of our sheets and replace them with these!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Babs111 True Percale Sheet Experience
Crisp and cool like the sheets I knew as a child. These sheets are not soft like so many of the sheets that are currently available. We have bought two sets, and will be buying more over time as they are exactly the feel my husband and I love. Our first set is over a year old and has held up well. The second set is over 6 months old. If you are looking for the softness of jersey sheets, these are not for you. But these sheets will be nice and crisp and wear well for a number of years.

Rated 1 out of 5 by eileenfrances Ugh
My daughter requested these particular sheets as a gift. We purchased one set in teak and one set in natural for her queen sized bed. We also purchased extra pillowcases for each set (which only come in standard size). The "natural" sheet set color is nearly white; the extra pillowcase set in "natural" is beige in color. These products are made in China. I cannot attest to their comfort, but I am disappointed in their appearance, and I can only hope the quality is deserving of the price. (The cotton bag containing the teak pillowcases is sliced...ugh). I am quite sure I could have found a higher thread count percale organic sheet for less money in a brick and mortar store. On the plus side, delivery was quite fast. Still, I am embarrassed to give this nearly $500 purchase as a gift.

I initially liked these sheets, the dark purplish color I got is really nice. After the first washing they became very wrinkled and are almost scratchy and are kind of loud if you need to turn in bed. I don't mind too much, just a different experience to get used to. I would prefer not to have to deal with this, however. I recently also purchased the jersey knit sheets and these are a superb product, very soft and comfortable. I will exchange these for more of the jersey

Rated 5 out of 5 by garlicbabe I love, love, love these sheets!
YES! YES!! YES!!! Just what I was looking for! Old-fashioned, crisp, cool percale sheets. These are so hard to find. I got the blue and it is beautiful. These are perfect for a hot Texas summer. They breath and they don't cling to you. I line dry them and it is just like being a little girl again at Grandmother's.

The cotton for the Percale Bedding is removed of color, and then dyed natural. This is a necessity, otherwise there would be too much variation in the color. Organic cotton can range from close to pure white to deep beige/taupe.10 months ago

To goddamn Toys R Us where else. My stupid wife thinks we have to have the "best Christmas ever" this year while our kids are still young. Does that mean spending a lot of time together? No. Going Christmas Caroling? No. (Don't laugh, I do a mean "fah la la la" part in "Deck the Halls".) Watching classic movies together? No. Going to see lights? No. According to my wife the "best Christmas ever" involves me spending thousands of dollars on gifts for the kids. Is this really Christmas? Spoiling your kids so bad that they open one present and just move on to opening the next without taking time to appreciate the first gift? I say no, but it's not like anyone hears what I have to say in this family anyways. (Which doesn't even make any sense. How many Home Run Derbies has Chanel won? How many single season Brewers records does she own? Yeah, that's what I thought. Marriage sucks.)
