text: I have never had to call on the Clerk of Court here in Madison, except to maybe converse about jury duty. The one time I did I was shocked at the response. A couple of months ago I had a problem getting something handled with DHSMV, with the State of Florida. After much conversation with the Clerk's office and DHSMV and the mis-communication between the two then somehow turned into a real problem that I couldn't get anyone to help me with, as the two agencies had done their part but the problem still existed. Not knowing what to do, I left my card on Tim Sanders' desk to please call me. Within a half an hour I got a call from him on my cell phone. After explaining the situation I was assured by him that he was on the problem and would call me back. Sure enough, in about an hour I got a call back acknowledging that there was a communication problem and that he would get it taken care of AND he gave me not only his office, but cell phone number, in case I had any need to contact him. Within the two days it took to handle this problem, I bet I had five or six calls from our Clerk of Court, personally relaying information and the status of what was going on, even after the close of business. I was kept up to date with all happenings from the time I got the first call until the last call, telling me that the problem was handled and that he was sorry about what had happened. Now that's what I call taking care of business! I know that Mr. Tim had a lot more important things to take care of than my little issue, but he handled it when I had neither the time nor the knowledge of how to take care of it. Thank you sir! You, and your staff, went above and beyond to get my issue handled and I just wanted to share it with the people of Madison County! Sincerely, Keith Gordon

The last few months I have been on the hunt for the perfect sugar cookie. The perfect sugar cookie would be one that did not need to be rolled out or refrigerated, would have an almond flavor and a yummy almond frosting on top.
You see, I found the perfect sugar cookie at a small little deli in Kalama, Washington. Kalama is about an hour north of Portland, too far away to visit on a regular basis to satisfy my sugar cookie cravings! I love their almond sugar cookies – and I wanted to find a way to create them at home.
I tried numerous recipes – some close but not quite right. I shared my quest with my blogger friend Melanie at My Kitchen Cafe. Melanie sent me several almond sugar cookie recipes and I tried them all and guess what?! One of them was a winner! Another food blogger had shared it with Melanie and then she shared it with me and now I'm sharing it with you! Thank you Melanie.
So today's recipe is for what I think is the perfect sugar cookie! They don't need to be refrigerated or rolled out – they have a lovely almond flavor and a yummy almond frosting. They are slightly crisp around the edges and soft in the middle. They are even better the second day!
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 2 cups flour
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 4-5 tsp. milk (I used whipping cream)
- Mix butter, sugar and extract in a large bowl
- Beat until cream, 1 to 2 minutes
- Add remaining ingredients
- Beat 1 to 2 more minutes
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls
- Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and flatten balls to ¼ inch thickness with the bottom of a buttered glass dipped in sugar
- Bake at 400 for 7-9 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned
- Cool 1 minute
- Move to a wire rack
- Stir together glaze ingredients with a wire whisk
- Decorate cooled cookies with glaze and sliced almonds (optional)

Finances & Insurance
Insurance coverage is an important aspect for patients to understand. The easiest way to know if your insurance will pay for bariatric-related care is to call them and ask. The fact that your physician feels that surgery is medically necessary does not guarantee that your insurance company will agree. It is very helpful to find out the specific criteria your insurance requires to qualify for surgery and start working on getting this information together.
Please remember, every insurance company is different and may require different forms of information.
Self-Pay Options:
If you do not have insurance, or your insurance will not cover bariatric surgery, you have the option to pay for the bariatric surgery services. Please call our Bariatric Scheduling coordinator at 503 494-1983 for pricing information.

OK, I downloaded Revolution 1.1, created a 2nd rom slot in addition to my existing rom slot1 in Safestrap 3.05; wiped data, cache, dalvik, & system - installed & rebooted. The red eye boot anim was stuck for over 10 mins...
Then I hit Power & Vol down to force a reboot & then let the system start up on its own.
Same result - for now, to be able to start all over again, I have deleted the 2nd rom slot that was holding Revoluton 1.1… so I can start fresh w/help fm folks here… hopefully soon TIA
After you installed the rom did you wipe cache and dalvik again before restarting? Once you rebooted back into safestrap did you try wiping data again then restarting? Have you successfully had a rom run from the 2nd slot before?

Even though I searched for a similar posting (and couldn't find it), I am certain that someone must have raised this question in the past.

I just recently moved from Win XP Pro SP3 to Win 7 32-bit Pro. I am logging into domain X normally. Our Sharepoint 2007 server authenticates only on domain Y. So I start Internet Explorer with "run as different user" and provide my domain Y credentials. All fine.
In win XP, after I did this, when I click on an Excel file on Sharepoint, I would get a dialog asking if I wanted to check out and edit or open as read only.
In win7, I don't get that choice. The file simply opens, and I get a bar at the top which allows me to check out the file if I wanted to.
How can I restore the functionality I used to have, with the dialog for checking out the file before opening it?

Clancy and I recently embarked on a huge journey. Clancy came to live with me nearly six months to the day when he came home and informed me that we would be moving to Dallas. I was very excited. Since he had come to Ohio, I had told him I wasn't a fan of the Buckeye state, and would be happy to move whenever an opportunity arose. He had said that he was sick of moving and wanted to stay for a while. However, that tone quickly changed once Clancy found what Cincinnati had to offer.
What do I mean by that? Don't ever move to Cincinnati, Ohio without some sort of huge monetary bonus being involved. You need that bonus to make it worthwhile. Clancy's bonus was my love, but my love wasn't conditional, and will follow him all over the country/world/etc.
Our move was fast and sloppy. Clancy was given one week to get to Dallas, with there only being a three day window between his last day in Cincinnati and his first day in Dallas. He left first and found us a temporary rental while I sold things in Ohio and packed up a truckload and headed to Dallas with my mom, sister and niece, as well as big, stupid Megatron. Fourteen hours later, we arrived and I was reunited with my Clancy J. I started work at one of the Dallas Sephoras three days later.
The house we're currently living in is a temporary nightmare. When Clancy signed the lease, it was sight unseen. The landlord was pretty honest and said he was selling it in three months and just wanted to fill it until then. He said it was neglected and hadn't been inhabited recently. But it had a big yard for Megatron and the rent was crazy cheap. What he neglected to mention was that the kitchen had zero appliances and that the hot water heater was not only gas, but apparently was in someone else's name, because in the beginning of June we stopped having hot water. We had the option of paying a large deposit to turn the gas back on, but it seemed pointless so we've just been toughing it out. He also failed to mention that because it hadn't been inhabited recently, it was infested with tiny spiders that had taken over the closets and quickly moved into my unpacked belongings in the spare room. Oh, and that there were stray dogs everywhere, and his business partner was a lying, troublemaking psycho that called the cops on Clancy and Megatron for no reason.
However, we move to our actual apartment on the 28th and it's going to literally be like heaven. =] Less than 11 days now!

This nightmare.
This was supposed to be an update, but it never happened. What this picture is actually showing you is how Clancy and I lived out of these two bags for almost exactly four weeks. Yes, I had that much makeup, and only that much makeup, for almost four weeks. Why did we live in these conditions? We were waiting for our newly renovated apartment to pass inspections that it failed numerous times. So we stayed in an empty apartment for four weeks, on limited supplies and slept on an air mattress.
The good news is that it ended, we moved, and things have settled into some sort of [stressed] normalcy.

Phototutorial: Pink Bow Ties.
I was inspired to this tutorial because of a Makeup Forever Labshine t-shirt I have. I know, that doesn't really make a lot of sense, but these are the colors on the shirt, and that's what I wanted to capture, even if I didn't use Makeup Forever products to do it.
In today's tutorial, I use Tarte's Lash Primer & Gifted mascara, MSC pigments Adipose, Hello Sweetie, Bow Ties are Cool and the Silence, MSC Optimus Primer, and the Too Faced 3-Way Lash Lining Tool.

Troy, I'm new to doing genealogy research and began doing most on my late father's side, where I am stuck after several generations. I just switched to my mother's side, of which she is a Birmingham. Her parents have both passed on so we don't have much information, however, what was given to me as a starting point is that her great great grandfather was a James Birmingham that was born the 1st of January, around 1834 in Cork County, Ireland. He married Elsa Kathryn Bay and according to the Pottawattamie County, Iowa - Marriages of Original Court Records, Clerk of the District Court, 1848-1880 the date is listed as 14th of February, 1867. Also of note on this record is that the groom's names is listed as I Bermingham. I have a list of children of James and Elsa and have recently found some obits posted to a message board. My line is decendent to Timothy, one of James and Elsa's sons, to one of Timothy's sons that was my mother's father. After looking through a lot of the messages posted and realizing that the dates are several years old, I was not sure if you were still doing some research for individuals or not but decided to take a chance. I am also not sure if my line of Birmingham's is in any way linked to the actual project that was started, but I would be willing to send you any of the Birmingham information I have if you are truly interested. From the messages I read I thought the project had a lot of merit but I don't know how successful it became for those interested. Again, I appreciate anything you might be able to find and share and I am more than willing to share what I have. I will gladly email it to you in an Excel or Word file or send it via the post office, which ever you choose. Just let me know. Thanks Sandy Larkins |

'Star Trek Into Darkness' turns out to be quite the Enterprise
BY RICHARD ROEPER Sun-Times firstname.lastname@example.com May 15, 2013 2:54PM
Kirk | Chris Pine
Spock | Zachary Quinto
Khan | Benedict Cumberbatch
Scotty | Simon Pegg
Bones | Karl Urban
Spock Prime | Leonard Nimoy
Uhura | Zoe Saldana
Pike | Bruce Greenwood
Paramount Pictures presents a film directed by J.J. Abrams. Written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof, based on the TV series created by Gene Roddenberry. Running time: 2 hours and 12 minutes. Rated PG-13 (for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence). Now at local theaters.
Updated: June 18, 2013 7:24AM
The following is a condensed version of a review that was printed May 15 in the Chicago Sun-Times.
Critic's note: Attention, hard-core Trekkers and non-Trekkers alike: Multiple but mild spoiler alerts just ahead! Trust me, I'm holding back on the big surprises.
At times "Star Trek Into Darkness" plays like a buddy cop movie set in the intergalactic future.
Rousing opening sequence in which the rogue antihero (one Capt. James Tiberius Kirk) disobeys directives and breaks the law in order to save lives? Check.
Subsequent scene where the superior chews out the hero and tells him he thinks the rules are for everyone else, and even though our hero has the potential for greatness, he's been given the equivalent of a desk job? Check.
Maddeningly straitlaced, by-the-book good guy (Spock) constantly butts heads with his rebellious partner? Check.
Psychopathic but ever-stylish villain who possesses far superior strength and firepower than our heroes? Check.
Of course, this being the second entry in the "Star Trek" film series that got such a rousing reboot in 2009, we also get state-of-the art visual effects, some amusingly weird alien beings, at least a half-dozen references to touchstones from previous "Star Trek" movies and TV episodes — and 3-D glasses for the audience if you're so inclined to pay the extra freight.
My advice: As was the case with "Iron Man 3," the 3-D in "Star Trek Into Darkness" is at best 2½-D, and you'll be just fine watching this in a regular old theater.
One of the numerous strengths of "Star Trek Into Darkness" is that it works as a stand-alone film. Director J.J. Abrams is a true talent, and he's also a pop-culture savant who has great respect for the legacy of this franchise as well as a keen understanding of the mega-importance of box-office figures. There's no better choice to make the best, the purest and the most accessible big-budget "Star Trek" movie possible.
Looking a bit like an aging boy band lead singer, Chris Pine is once again solid as Kirk, who's still serial-womanizing (at one point he has a threesome with two beautiful creatures with great tails, and I mean they literally have tails) and still at odds with the ever-logical Spock (Zachary Quinto), who's having a rocky romantic go of things with Uhura (Zoe Saldana).
Kudos to Quinto for pulling off a legitimately moving performance even though he's sporting those ridiculous bangs and those pointy ears — and most of the time he's not conveying anything resembling human emotion.
After the aforementioned opening sequence leads to Kirk's demotion and Spock's reassignment, Starfleet is rocked when one of their own turns on them in a big way. Benedict Cumberbatch delivers a near-campy but effective performance as that rogue officer who goes by the name of John Harrison. At first he seems like an off-the-rack sci-fi villain, but the more we see of this guy, the more interesting he becomes.
Abrams and his visual-effects wizards create a 23rd century version of London that's so arresting that I wish they'd spent more time on Earth. It looks like a really cool place, what with all the flying machines and fun toys and the seeming prosperity.
Not to say the scenes aboard the Enterprise or in the vast spaces of the great unknown are lacking in splendor. This is one great-looking film, yet there's still time for the likes of Scotty (Simon Pegg), Bones (Karl Urban) and Hikaru Sulu (John Cho) to have their moments.
Even if you're a "Star Trek" newbie, there's enough exposition explaining the rules of this universe and the players occupying key roles. If you are a Trekker, there's plenty of inside baseball as well. Some of the references are so obvious even I got them; I'm sure I missed others that will have hard-core fans either chuckling or groaning (or pointing out perceived injustices).
Yet with all the futuristic splendor and the suitably majestic score and the fine performances, "Into Darkness" only occasionally soars, mostly settling for being a solid but unspectacular effort that sets the stage for the next chapter(s).
I'll leave it to the lifelong Trekkers to rank this movie in the canon of a franchise that may last so long that it'll eventually be set in the present day. What we're doing here is talking about this movie, and of all the stars in the galaxy, it deserves three.

Aspiring Astronaut Gideon Gidori Invents a New Holiday: Star Day (Video)
Roblimo posted about 8 months ago | from the it's-easier-to-make-a-wish-than-to-make-it-come-true dept.
46Gideon wants to be an astronaut. You could even describe him as "space-obsessed." He wants to be the first astronaut from Tanzania. The only African to make it into space so far is Mark Shuttleworth, who is from South Africa. Can Gideon talk Elon Musk into launching from Tanzania, which is directly on the equator? How about bringing in other space buffs and entrepreneurs? Don't think this is a silly idea. Gideon is only 14, but he's a straight-A student at the Florida Air Academy, and before that was one of the top students at Shepherds Junior School in Arusha, which Mama Lucy Kamptoni originally financed by raising and selling chickens. Gideon's scholarships to Shepherds and later to Florida Air Academy have been financed in part by EpicChange.org, which is also helping him spread the word about Star Day (tomorrow; June 7), the holiday Gideon created, which is being celebrated all over the world even in this, its first year of existence. You can celebrate it, too. All you have to do, weather permitting, is sleep outdoors under the stars, and maybe make a wish or two. After all, wishing (and a lot of studying and hard work) have helped Gideon get to where he is today, and may yet help him become Tanzania's first astronaut.

Free-Market Think-Tank Announces Expansion
Natl Center For Public Policy Research | October 12, 2012
Teresa Platt Named Director of National Center for Public Policy Research's Environment and Enterprise Institute
Washington, DC - Teresa Platt, a 26-year veteran of the environmental policy debate, has been named director of The National Center for Public Policy Research's Environment and Enterprise Institute, the group announced today.
Prior to joining The National Center, Platt served for 13 years as director of the national mink farming association, where she built strong and broad coalitions that led to the passage of legislation at both the federal and state levels to combat eco-terrorism.
Platt previously served as co-director of the Fishermen's Coalition, a non-profit she founded in 1992 to educate the public on responsible fishing. In that capacity, she was a key leader in a successful grassroots effort to amend the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).
"We're enormously pleased to have such a seasoned and accomplished environmental policy authority as Teresa Platt on our team," said Amy Ridenour, Chairman of The National Center for Public Policy Research. "Teresa not only has an extensive background in public policy, but first-hand knowledge of the costly and often counter-productive impact that regulations have on small businesses, having run the shoreside operations for her family's 1,000-ton high seas yellowfin tuna fishing vessel."
Teresa has been a widely sought after information and interview source. She's worked with journalists from around the world including those with CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox News, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Independent (UK), U.S. News and World Report, Audubon, Daily Mail (UK), Esquire, Outdoor, and The Los Angeles Times.
"Teresa Platt's appointment was made possible by continued robust growth of our budget. Americans are concerned about the cost and unintended consequences of federal regulatory policy and they're turning to us to do something about it," said David Ridenour, president of The National Center for Public Policy Research. "We didn't build that public concern. Federal policies did."
"I'm thrilled to be part of The National Center and honored to help them on their important work of expanding and exporting America's unique brand of freedom," said Teresa Platt.
The National Center for Public Policy Research is a conservative, free-market, non-profit think-tank established in 1982. It is supported by the voluntary gifts of over 100,000 individual recent supporters. In 2011, it received about two percent of its revenue from corporate sources and the vast majority of its revenue from over 350,000 individual gifts. Contributions to the National Center are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated .

Newsbyte: SAP Harnesses The Power Of Sports To Inspire And Transform The Lives Of Underserved Youth In Brazil Through Partnership With Inter Campus
WALLDORF, Germany, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP NEWSBYTE -- In line with its ongoing commitment to improving the lives of underserved children in the communities in which it operates, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) announced today a new partnership with Inter Campus, the corporate social responsibility program developed by F.C. Internazionale Milano. The initiative uses the international game of football as an educational tool to restore the right to play to needy children worldwide. As part of the partnership, SAP will provide a financial contribution to Inter Campus Brasil, a division of Inter Campus, which works to transform the lives of thousands of disadvantaged children throughout Brazil.
"As a global leader in information technology, SAP recognizes and embraces our commitment to the communities in which we work and we're extremely proud to support Inter Campus Brasil in this effort to improve the lives of underserved children," said Gustavo Amorim, marketing vice-president, SAP Latin America. "With the world's attention focused on Brazil this summer, we aim to work with Inter Campus to create a level playing field for these amazing kids."
As the first of many special initiatives, SAP and Inter Campus Brasil will host an event during the 2014 World Cup in one of the favelas in Rio de Janeiro in order to highlight the extraordinary work of the organization. Hosted by an Inter player, the event will include a coaching session for the children and the presentation of an Inter shirt to every child.
Since 1997, Inter Campus has implemented a flexible and long-term social and cooperation program in 29 countries. A dedicated task force of managers and coaches from Inter Campus coordinate the ongoing activities at the various centers around the world where the focus is not only on teaching the skills of "the beautiful game", but also on providing valuable educational and recreational projects for over 10,000 children from impoverished communities. The coaches work closely with two hundred locally-selected instructors and countless volunteers that work in the countries which are officially part of the Inter Campus Worldwide circuit.

We just got our water heater replaced, and ever since then the water pressure from the refrigerator is very low and it barely produces any ice.
I've replaced the water filter. The water pressure returned to normal for a couple minutes. But now it's back to slow-flow mode, and I'd like to get this fixed. Had a plumber come out yesterday and he gave me a $350 estimate to replace the water line. Before I move forward on this, just wanted to ask: a) is this a common problem after a water heater replacement; b) does this price seem reasonable; and c) is it possible the low water pressure is related to an issue w/the refrigerator? Any assistance/advice that can be provided here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you have a saddle valve supplying water to your refer, the small hole it makes in the water line when first installed has probably become clogged with a bit of corrosion/debris that was washing through the pipe and ended up trying to pass through that hole. First-of-all, saddle valves are prone to this type of failure and are not approved by any plumbing code that I know of. Secondly, until you have the saddle valve replaced by a proper 1/4 turn valve, you can try to clear the clog by turning the valve all of the way closed, run water from the cold water faucets in the area, then open the saddle valve fully and see if the immediate problem is corrected. (Hoping that closing the valve forced the debris out of the orifice and running the water washed it downstream.) |

You probably got debris in the line which is now clogging it. I would pull the fridge from the wall, disconnect the line to the fridge and place it in a bucket, then open the valve and let it flush out. You probably need to replace the filter again. Also, if you can run without the filter (is there a bypass plug), use that and flush out the water lines in the fridge. |

HELENA - The Montana House Judiciary Committee heard testimony on a bill last week that would require government agencies and law enforcement to obtain a warrant before they could track you down by your phone.
There are several exceptions to the law, including if the device is reported stolen by the owner, for response in emergency services by the user, or if there is an immediate life-threatening situation. Otherwise, those in support say that the government tracking your phone without a search warrant is a direct violation privacy rights.
"Where you go and where your phone is says a lot about you," said Niki Zupanic with the Montana ACLU. "A person who knows all of another's travels can deduce whether he is a weekly church-goer, a heavy drinker, a regular at the gym."
"You can always turn off the location on this device. So I question whether there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in something that you can turn off," said Bruce Spencer with the Montana Automobile Dealers Association.
The bill states that a violation would be a civil penalty, resulting in a fine of no more than $50.

The Musée des Arts Décoratifs often has fashion exhibits that are of the utmost quality. I have seen a few there, and most recently the Dries Van Noten Inspirations retrospective of his fashion design career so far. If you do attend this exhibit, may I suggest reading Dana Thomas' portrait of the Belgian deisgner, in the Wall Street Journal first to give yourself an idea of where this artist and his style of working comes from. Thomas' article describes an independant and hard working man who cares for every little detail of his company. He refuses to sell his company to the large groups, is not on the stock market and insists on only creating two collections a year for men and for women. This allows him more time for the creative process which is the part that he most enjoys (per Thomas' article). An inspired designer who prefers the thrill of designing for his own brand, than the call of the wealth from the « fashion industry ». He is one of the few remaining artists who is still able to remain self sustaining and entirely inspired. Read more →

My husband leaves for work before most of the household is awake. He grabs a cup of coffee and a Balance bar and hits the road. While good sales on protein bars are possible, I am on the hunt to find a more economical, yet still sustaining option. I took my Trail Mix Cookies and tweaked them a little recently. I even experimented with coconut oil, a first for me. The result was a super tasty cookie. They taste too good to be healthy. So, I need to revisit the ingredient profile and make sure.
Whole wheat pastry flour can usually be found in the bulk section of your health food store. If you can't find it, you can substitute unbleached or whole wheat flour.
I think these would be a sweet addition to a Valentine's breakfast or afternoon tea.

- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 eggs

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1/4 cup EACH dried cranberries, dark chocolate chips, pepitas, sesame seeds, chopped nuts OR 1 1/4 cup trail mix
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with silpat mat or parchment paper.
- In large mixing bowl, combine honey, sugar, and oil. Blend well. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients.

I remember the first time I saw one of Harper Smith's photos; it was one of those images that I saved from my tumblr feed and found myself going back to time and again, including it in inspiration boards for upcoming shoots. I didn't even know it was one of Harper's until several months after my initial hoarding when I came across it again on tumblr properly credited. From that moment on, I've found myself going to her website and tumblr regularly to peruse.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Harper on our Fall Lookbook STAR FROM MARS (coming soon), and picked her brain about photography, inspiration, and pigs. I would also like to add that she is freakin' hilarious!
Harper and Diddy during I Heart Music Festival
AB: So, first off, can I just say that we are MAJOR Harper fans around the office! We are beyond stoked to have worked with you on this project!
HS: YAY! Thats so crazy….cause I'm a MAJOR Solestruck fan!
AB: So let's start out with the basics…
How did you get into photography? Did you go to school for it?
HS: Kind-of. My mom is an artist and taught ceramics at my highschool (i only got one detention from her)….she influenced me creatively while my father, a journalist-turned-marketing consultant, pushed me to study journalism in college…thus I studied photojournalism. Even though it is a different kind of photography from what I do now – I truly believe that studying this medium is one of the most important things I did to get me to where I am now.
AB: What most inspires your photography style? What is your vision or goal when you approach a project? What's your process?
HS: The element of journalism and spontaneity is definitely important in my work. Most of my favorite editorials (stories) were derived from an epic movie or period of time. I recently shot a love story between two models which was originally inspired by 'Boys Dont Cry'….but I felt like it was a bit too obvious… I started (randomly) watching 'Days Of Heaven' later that night and decided I wanted my shoot to take place during the dustbowl era….so I pulled lots of inspiration from the incredible Dorthea Lang. My brain never turns off….I'm always looking for something to inspire me. One time I did a shoot that was based on a cheesy advertisement from the 80's I found when packing up my parents house during a move.
AB: Favorite locations?
HS: MONUMENT VALLEY, UT – hands down
AB: What would you say was the moment or shoot that you felt really solidified your presence and aesthetic as a photographer?
HS: There were a few (each for their own special reason)….but my first take at a proper editorial was scary as shit….and so important. I was a photojournalism major…I literally thought CHANEL was pronounced CHANNEL (like a TV channel). The idea of failing ate away at me….cause deep down shooting editorial and fashion is what I REALLY wanted to do. I spent 2 months saving up all the money I had to hire stylists, models, pay for a location, etc….I had to go completely out of pocket. The shoot turned out great (in retrospect I wouldn't want it on my site now – but it gave me the confidence I really needed at that time). In addition, the shoot I feel really changed the game for me was "LONG BLACK VEIL"….styled by my good friend and creative muse, Coryn Madley. It was where bohemian styling, witchcraft, nudity, and desert vibes all meshed for the first time = HEAVEN.
From the Long Black Veil, modeled by Kelley Ash and Jenny Parry
AB: Do you have a favorite photographer or someone in the field that inspires you and/or your work?
HS: Dorthea Lang, Walker Evans, Richard Avedon, and Nan Goldin.
AB: Do you have a favorite shoot that you've done?
HS: I recently shot my husband, Cameron, for Spectacle Magazine…just me and him. Its always crazy to shoot someone you love or are really close to…sometimes more awkward and intimate than the obvious stuff.
AB: If you could shoot anyone in the world alive or dead who would it be?
H.S: Dalai Lama
AB: In a former life you were probably…?
HS: Calamity Jane… or her horse.
AB: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?
HS: Cheese. All the way. Any kind. The stinkier the better.
Nat + Spence for Human Being Journal
AB: So I have to admit that I had a few moments of, "Holy shit…I get to work with Harper Smith!", before meeting you. Who is the one person you'd go all "fan girl" over if you met them?
HS: Mmmm. Probably Jane Goodall. I also have a huge crush on Tom Hardy…so I'd prob get real "fanny-creeper" in that situation too… but sometimes just admitting your excitement while shooting people is the best way to be.
AB: Do you have a mantra or catchphrase?
HS: "DO THE DEAD DOLL". If you have shot with me you know what that means!
I also try to loosen up the stiff subjects by making fart noises when I bend down to pick
something up. That works like a charm. (real classy too).
AB: I think there may be some video recordings floating around of her amazing commentary on set. *wink wink*
HS: I am so scared of the shit you recorded me saying on set. I'm sure it's rediculous hahahah.
AB: So tell me about your adorable little pig. How did she come about?
HS: She turned 1 yesterday! I have been obsessed with pigs since I was 10. I am from Iowa so I have to believe that has something to do with it. They are such incredible animals….a bit misunderstood and definitely under-appreciated, underdogs of the animal world. Our little girl, Pepper is a REAL piece of work, but I am completely obsessed with her. When Cameron proposed to me…I said YES but only if I could get a pig – and he obliged! Although it took some time to get used to having a pig snuggle up with us in bed, we are both in love with our fat, stinky, polka-dotted little girl.
AB: What's your favorite shoe on the site right now and why?
HS: Maybe it stems from my inability to pronounce designer names correctly, but I love your collaboration with MADE IN HELL-A – specifically the 'Pra-duh' shoes. Definitely rocking those soon. Also – been following the designer Miista for a while now….and love almost every shoe from that line. My new favorite is the ETHEL. It is a perfect mix between a fun chunky boot and a feminine bootie. I love it in bronze.
AB: I like to think that we're all a little strange in our own way which is what makes us individuals. Do you have any weird phobias, likes, habits, or fun facts?
HS: I am scared to DEATH of the dark.
I am completely, creepily obsessed with pigs.
I was born without a roof to my mouth (cleft palate)….and now that I have one – I don't shut up.
Stay tuned for our Fall 2013 lookbook, STAR FROM MARS, shot by Harper Smith, and to shop her fav shoes from the site!

Make a Difference in Your Parks by Sharing your Opinions!
The Jeffco Parks Master Plan is being updated!
This is the year that Jefferson County Open Space is rewriting their Parks 5 Year Master Plan, and they are asking for Public Input Now!
JeffCo is combining the Open Space Master Plan with the Fairgrounds, CSU Extension, and Boettcher Mansion plans to create a new Parks Master Plan. However, many concerns have been identified by Crown Hill volunteers over the past several months that could cause problems at other parks. But with your involvement, these problems could be addressed in the Parks Master Plan. Volunteers have started an effort, called Friends of JeffCo Open Space, to involve the public in the Master Plan process. Please see the new section ("JeffCo Parks Master Plan") that has been added to the Friends of Crown Hill Website, and be sure to sign up to receive updates from Friends of JeffCo Open Space via: email@example.com.
This year (2013) we have an opportunity through the JeffCo Parks Master Plan process to provide input to the managing agency, JeffCo Open Space (JCOS). JCOS is required to revise its Master Plan every five years so this opportunity is fleeting! Details on this process and opportunities for public input are included at the link provided above.
For more information and Contact Info, please visit the JeffCo Open Space Master Plan Page.
...after much anticipation...
Jefferson County Open Space has just announced a
Final Crown Hill Park Plan
for the
Current Project
As quoted from their website, JCOS states:
"Based on an abundance of information gathered through an extensive public involvement process, Jefferson County Open Space (JCOS) has determined a final course of action for the current capital project at Crown Hill Park. This decision comes after thousands of citizens provided their input and ideas in a survey, community meetings and on site visits with JCOS staff. There was a broad range of thinking among community members with respect to the capital projects we were considering. In some cases, such as nature play areas, public desires were clear. In others, such as a shade structure and replacement of fitness equipment there was a lack of consensus among citizens. JCOS has taken all of this information into account and made a decision that honors goals for the Park as well as the common interest of citizens to keep the area as natural as possible. This current course of action does not preclude the addition of a shade trellis or fitness areas in the future based on community interest and need.
JCOS will Implement all 'Givens' discussed during the public involvement process. These include replacing the restroom, park information center (kiosk), adding three accessible and staff parking spaces and removal of all fitness stations. Please see MAP for locations.
Fitness Equipment – The existing equipment, that has reached its useful life and has deteriorated to sub standard levels, will be removed and will not be replaced. The concrete pads at the eight fitness station locations indicated on the map on the reverse will be removed, regraded and reseeded with natural grasses. This is in keeping with a strong citizen sentiment to keep the Park natural and our goal to preserve the views of the lake, Park and mountains. This work will be completed by June 30, 2013.
Tree Plantings – A larger water tap, from a 1" to 1.5", will be purchased to support the new restroom needs and allow trees to be planted and irrigated in the one-acre area around the restrooms. Trees that need to be removed for construction or because they are invasive species such as Russian Olives will be replaced on a one-to-one basis in this area.
Shade Structure - A shade structure will not be added at this time. In order to accommodate nature education programs that were found to be more desirable than nature play, a small area north of the restrooms will be graded to create a flat surface to set up portable tents. This area could accommodate a shade trellis in the future. The necessary irrigation lines to water future tree plantings in this area will also be added to this area. This is within the one-acre area that JCOS could irrigate if the larger water tap is purchased.
With the removal of fitness equipment and concrete pads anticipated by the end of June, all other work on the givens and plantings will start in late August and be completed by late fall."
We appreciate your supportive efforts and your determination to help us all preserve Crown Hill for its peaceful, passive nature. Loudly, when communities unite for a common goal, our voices are heard. This grass roots effort has now become an important part of the Crown Hill legacy.
We want to thank Jefferson County Open Space for listening to the voices of the concerned citizens, for digging up old historical land documents and shedding light on this park's rich heritage. In this day and age where progress often equates to development, we are grateful that the original mission to preserve this wildlife habitat, in perpetuity, has not been forgotten. Moving forward, it is to our benefit to build a stronger relationship with JCOS. This starts with a simple thank you to express your appreciation.

BENNINGTON A $5,000 warrant has been issued for the arrest of a local man who got into a fight with a police officer Tuesday and then failed to appear in court Wednesday.
Alvin Aiken Jr., 34, of Bennington, was due in Bennington district court Wednesday to be arraigned on misdemeanor charges of violation of an abuse prevention order, violation of conditions of release, resisting arrest and assault on a law enforcement officer.
After he failed to appear, Bennington County Deputy States Attorney Jennifer Barrett asked for an arrest warrant for $5,000 which was granted by Judge Nancy Corsones. Barrett said police had been looking for Aiken.
Not only are we concerned right now that hes going to harm himself or someone else, we believe that hes a flight risk and weve been trying to track him down since this morning, Barrett said.
In an affidavit, Cpl. Andy Hunt of the Bennington Police Department said police had been called around 6:40 p.m. Tuesday by a woman who has an abuse prevention order against Aiken. The woman said Aiken was outside the door of her Bennington home.
Hunt said when he got to the home, he found Aiken bleeding from what Hunt believed were self-inflicted wounds caused by a straight razor that Aiken was holding. Hunt said he ordered Aiken to drop the razor but Aiken refused and told Hunt, Youre going to have to shoot me.
Because of the presence of the razor, Hunt said he struck Aiken and performed a takedown maneuver. Hunt said Aiken continued to resist and he needed the help of other police officers to take Aiken into custody.
Aiken was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, Hunt said.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Man robbed Full StoryIllegal gun buy Full StoryPolice are looking for a hit-and-run driver. Full Story -

Daifuku Mochi – Sesame & Black Sesame Rice Cake
Daifuku Mochi, Japanese rice cakes, sweet little treats usually filled with red bean paste although there are variations of fruit filling. Sometimes they are covered in corn starch to keep them from sticking to each other. The two pictured are Sesame (Shiro Goma) and Black Sesame (Kuro Goma) covered and about the size of your palm. The other version is about the size of a half-dollar coin. If you love tasty treats or love Red Bean, have a try at these, they can be found at any Japanese market and sometimes Asian supermarkets.

Love going to Mitsuwa! Every time I head there, I have to get the fresh Taiyaki (bean paste filled pancake in fish shape)! Which reminds me, I have to take pictures of this stuff.

Do you cook these? I just bought some from Grand Market in Gaithersburg, MD and steamed one. It melted everywhere!! Are they supposed to be boiled?
finechinaguy on January 20th, 2010 11:14 am
They are ready to eat as is! They are meant to be a snack right out of the package. Do not cook them!

sarge bone
By boxerpup
from Jacksonville, fl
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Merrick Pet Care Merrick Sarge Canine Beef Bone:
My boxer loves this bone! It took him the entire day to chew all of the meat off of it. Even after all of the meat was off he still loved to chew it and still does almost every day! It gets a little messy while theyre tearing the bits of meat off. Its a huge heavy bone so its best for larger dogs. He's getting a new one in his stocking for Christmas!

"The Sarge" Dog Bone for Stanley
By Sue
from Richmond, VA
My huge 95 lb. lab, Stanley, was so excited to get "The Sarge" bone! Finally, a huge bone for a huge dog! He spends lots of time in the yard chewing on it and watching owners and their jealous dogs walk by envying him. I will probably buy smaller versions for my "niece and nephew dogs" for Christmas.

I have a golden puppy and I totally under estimated the size of this. If you are looking for a cow leg ur good here. :-)
By SAM
from THE BAY AREA
Whenever my dogs have a special treat or a chew for night time. I reach for these. They keep the occupied for a long time. And the best part is they are made in the USA. I own three different dogs (ranging fro small - large)
My Malamute loves these
By Mary
from Fort Riley, KS
I have to watch my dog for about half an hour when he starts on one of these because as he chews it the end bones come loose and can be swallowed or choked on. Once I get rid of those though it's smooth sailing and he loves chewing on this bone.
My dog loves these bones!
By angeljazz
from NJ
My Golden loves these bones. Long after the meat is off of them he continues to chew on them. One word of caution. I only give these to him when I am home. He has chewed the ends off and once this caused his stomach to be upset.
kinda smelly but dog loves them
By matt b
from VA
Got some of these for my 7 month old pup to chew on in his crate while I had work to do or couldn't give him attention. They fit the bill! He'll spend a good 2 hours chewing and gnawing on one of these before he tires out his jaws and takes a nap. They have muscle/tendon and skin still on them my dog likes tearing all that off. At first I though that the tendon was bone because it was so hard, but once the dog chews on it for a bit it softens up and he eats it without a problem.There are two smaller "knuckle" bones that I take away from my dog once he separates them from the main bone so that he doesn't swallow them or beak them and swallow a piece.
Great Bone
By Whitewlf00
from Orlando, FL
Great Bone, it lasts a long time, I have a great dane and it took him awhile to chew this and even when most of the meat was gone he was still gnawing on just the bone..its been like 3 weeks and the bone is still hanging around and he will gnaw on it now and then
By Nicole
from NYC
This bone is fabulous. My lab will go at it for at least an hour, then again the next few days! I would recommend having your dog eat this bone where you don't mind a little mess, perhaps on his own pad or bed. Don't worry though, he will surely eat up the crumbs too.
By House of Pets

About Me Long-Time Pet Owner
I have two puppies that are power chewers (newfoundlands) and had been looking for a strong, long-lasting item of interest. The Sarge is perfect - it keeps there interest. I didn't think my other dogs would be interested, but they snatched them as soon as they had the chance! All the dogs enjoy the big Sarge - will have to order more!

Thank you so much. I have sent the resume to only one company, and Monday I will begin working for that company. This is not just another job for me. This is a career move.
R. A., Advertising Professional and Retail Manager
My resume was a big hit. They even complimented me on how well it was put together! I was hired on the spot!
J. C., Property Manager and Sales Professional
Getting StartedYOU AND I WILL HAVE SOME ONE-ON-ONE DISCUSSION at the beginning. If you have a previous resume, e-mail it to me -- plus any updates -- in one of these formats: DOC, DOCX, PDF, TXT. If you have a previous cover letter, send it also, because this helps me get a fuller picture of how you present yourself. If you're applying for a specific job, send me the link or copy and paste the contents into your e-mail.
If you are starting from scratch, use the list of items in red, immediately below, as a guide for your rough draft. Don't be concerned with formatting at this point -- and don't be concerned about how the material sounds. I can take care of this. Attach the draft, or copy and paste the text into your e-mail. Provide:
Professional Experience and Accomplishments
Education and Professional Development
Licenses and CertificationsComputer Skills
Professional Affiliations
ReferencesThe initial consultation and review are at no cost or obligation to you. Once I've reviewed your material, I will give you a firm price quote. See Rates page.
Commercial Resumes
Finished resumes shouldn't exceed two pages. Cover letters shouldn't exceed one page. List the last 10 years of experience; employers are less interested in older history. Since an employer may not read the entire resume, I may place your accomplishments ahead of the work history. For example:
Developed and implemented computerized database record-keeping system. This allowed entire department to retire its manual card-file system, reduced daily record-keeping time, and enabled staff of 30+ to access records directly from their personal computers.
My aim with the finished resume is to focus on your accomplishments, not dwell on tactical day-to-day items. If you can give numbers and percentages, this adds even more weight.
I do most of my original writing in the Cover Letter, Professional Summary, and Core Competencies or KSA (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities) section, based on your input. The Experience section will be a blend of your writing and mine. Depending on the need, I may edit and rewrite this section either lightly or more heavily.
I list references in a separate document -- except for federal resumes. When I come across "References Available on Request," I take it out -- it's passé. Don't offer your references till an employer asks for them -- often not till the interview stage or later. List contact information for each name shown.
Don't Get Personal
Omit hobbies, unless relevant to your job search. Omit reasons for leaving former positions, date of birth, marital status, health status, and children's names and ages. These details can wait for the application and interview stages. Even then, don't volunteer any items not asked for.
If you print your final documents, use a laser printer, if possible, and plain white 8½ x 11 paper -- no special textures or colors. If you send your document by postal mail, use an envelope large enough to keep the pages flat -- no folding, clipping, or stapling.
Executive Resumes
Executive and C-level resumes are much like typical commercial ones. They frequently require more time -- mainly because of the volume of detail and the need to review supporting documents such as questionnaires, awards, and letters of recommendation.
Recruiters and headhunters are in business, not to find jobs for people, but to find people for jobs. It's crucial that you have definite, concrete achievements to point to. Numbers and percentages matter a great deal. Employers want to know more than just what you did in the past. They want to know what you can do for them now -- and how you can make a lasting, positive difference.
Curriculum Vitae
A curriculum vitae, or CV, generally follows the pattern of commercial resumes, with several additional sections -- such as Teaching and Research Experience, Workshops Held, and Articles and Books Published. The CV may exceed two pages; I have handled some that were over ten. CVs are more common among academic, scientific, medical, and legal professionals.
Federal Resumes
Federal resumes are longer and more detailed than commercial ones. I'll need the link to the open position you are applying for so that I can review the job duties and qualifications and see which keywords and key phrases in the posting point to your knowledge and experience.
If you submit a federal resume through the online resume-builder at USAJOBS, also known as Resumix, you won't use a cover letter; but for an uploaded or person-to-person submission, you will need a letter. I will be sure you have a model letter as a starting point; you can adapt it to fit new situations.
The online form at USAJOBS limits each job description to 5,000 characters. If any of your descriptions are longer, I will edit them to fit. NASA limits total resume length to six pages, about 22,000 characters.
Internet Postings
If you need to post your resume on the Net and don't know how or don't have the time, I can post it for $20 extra. Give me the Web address where you would like the file uploaded.
Some Net postings and some e-mail transmittals require a plain-text, or ASCII, version of your resume. I regularly send customers a short list of simple instructions for making ASCII conversions; but if you prefer, I can easily make the conversion myself at no extra cost.

Though Durango is a geographically, culturally, and economically diverse area, the one thread that ties its citizenry together, is, without a doubt, quality of life. It's a broad term, with local definitions ranging from love of the majestic outdoors [2], to the cohesiveness of a small community [3]. It's a relaxed but conscientious style of doing business [4], be it from a well-appointed office in Durango's Historic downtown or the comfort of a 35-acre spread, where deer or elk might be the most frequent visitors.

ABC News' Rick Klein reports: A South Carolina Republican activist has learned the perils of social-media sites, with a Facebook posting where he joked that an escaped gorilla was probably related to First Lady Michelle Obama. The activist, a former state senate candidate named Rusty DePass, responded to news of a gorilla breakout at a local zoo by posting to Facebook on Friday: "I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors — probably harmless." (The entry was deleted — along with DePass' Facebook page — over the weekend. But the South Carolina political blog FITSNews.com captured a screen-grab.) DePass apologized: "I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone. The comment was clearly in jest," he told a local television station, according to the New York Daily News. But he added: "The comment was hers, not mine," claiming that the first lady had recently made a remark about humans descending from apes. (It's not clear what he was referring to.) DePass is a former chairman of the Richland County (S.C.) Republican Party. He was an early supporter of George W. Bush's campaign in 2000, and of Rudolph Giuliani's in 2008.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sasha!
Facts about Sasha
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Coonhound Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Sasha's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Other Pets at SICSA
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sasha, a Kettering Labrador Retriever/Coonhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Coonhound for sale in Kettering, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Coonhound dog from a breeder in Kettering.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Kettering already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Kettering breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
