Meet The Team
The Momental Team is made up of lifelong and new friends who share, among other things, several degrees in art and education. Jessica, Kelley, Joy, Steph, Kristen, Steph, Linda and Amanda ensure that each bride feels empowered and delighted by their Momental experience. As professionals, they possess the skill and talent to create exquisite, breathtaking designs. As friends, they understand the importance of the personal touches that transform each finished product into a breathtaking work of art; one that tells a story of life, friendship, and love.
Jessica K. Artistic, attentive, expressive… Lead Artist. Jessica and I have known each other all our lives. We discovered our mutual passion for art very early on and we were often found knee-deep in paint, props, and papers as we explored the world of color. My love of chili peppers was born out of a painting adventure with Jess, as we spent hours with some rice paper and half the produce section from our local market. Jessica has a degree in fine art with a concentration in painting. Her creativity and flair for all things colorful inspires us daily in the studio. |
Kelley N. Calm, conscientious, creative… Communications Manager. If you call the studio there is a good chance you will have the pleasure of chatting with Kelley. I first met Kelley when I was teaching a handmade paper class at a local art studio. Kelley's talent was evident from the beginning; so much that she assisted me in hand-painting the aisle runner for my own wedding. Kelley possesses a degree in art education and also has extensive experience in customer service. Her cheerful personality, creativity and innate business sense makes her invaluable to our team. |
Joy S. Detailed, honest, decisive…Production Lead. Joy's attention to detail and organization is impeccable. Blessed with considerable artistic talent as well, Joy thankfully joined the design side of our team. In high school, we were often found painting the town, quite literally, creating cheerful, seasonal scenes on the windows of local businesses. Joy's efficiency and reliability are unmatched and lavish hand-painted details are her forte. She was an obvious choice for our team and we are lucky to have her on board. |
Steph D. Artsy, sweet and joyful… Pre-Production Lead. Steph came to Momental with a bubbly and enthusiastic personality and we have never seen it change! Whether creating new layouts, patterns or editing a couple's wording Steph is always busy! Her more modern aesthetic breathes fresh life into the studio and we are grateful! |
Jess D. Unpredictable, funny, artist…Creative Assistant. Jess's many skills are always in use at the studio. If she's not painting a mini masterpiece on an invitation she is researching new materials, consulting with Kristy on a shoot or ensuring the whole studio is roaring in laughter! |
Nikki F. Organized, efficient and humble…Invitation Artist. Whether painting a detailed invitation or reviewing a client proof for the third time, Nikki is thorough and reliable. She usually can be found plugged in to her music, but that tells us she is fully focused on the task at hand! |
Linda R. Loving, mom, remarkable… Mom. Mom has been a part of Momental since it was born as a mere spark of an idea in my head. My mother's creativity courses through my own veins and has inspired me since I was very small. I will never forget how Mom transformed our tiny guest bedroom into my very first art studio so that I would have a space to explore my talent and hone my skills. She hand-crafted all the silk flower bouquets for my wedding and now creates the sculpted flowers for one of my most striking collections. She has mastered nearly every task needed to keep the studio running smoothly and I feel blessed to have her on the design team. She is gifted at what she does… painting, creating, and helping this little girl to grow up and realize her dream. |
Steph S. Reliable, driven and talented…Studio Manager. As our studio grew we were lucky enough to find Steph S. From meticulous hand cutting skills to a varied design background Steph is the go to girl in our studio. |
Katie C. Quirky, dedicated and honest …Invitation Artist. Katie first came to Momental as an elective Intern, which means she wasn't gaining credit officially for her time here. To us that spells DEDICATION! After graduation she joined our team and brought with her a great sense of design, a true artist's eye and witty sense of humor…oh and an obsessive love of peanut butter! |
Kristen S. Meticulous, thorough, resourceful… Web Design. Every studio should have a Kristen at least that is what we say around here. Not only is she a savvy and skillful designer but she is also an expert when it comes to all things technology in the studio. Kristen handles much of our web design and pattern development. |
Harry the Hairless Our trusted studio mascot. |

I love my peninsula but it's hard to reach the uppers above it. Don't want to get rid of it. My 10 yr old suggested I make the peninsula detachable on wheels. What do you think? Will it not look right when it is in place because of the split in the countertop? And can I make sure it doesn't roll all over by accident? And will it be too heavy or weird because the drawers in it will be filled? I guess it is like an integrated rolling cart- but I have never seen this incorporated into a peninsula rather than as a stand alone. Thanks . |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is it an island or peninsula? If peninsula, isn't it attached to something already? Do you need the uppers? Or can you put stuff in the uppers that you hardly ever use? There are big wheel casters with lock out there but it would depend on what you are working with cabinet-wise. Somebody will know the specific issues with this, I'm sure. |
- Posted by localeater (My Page) on Tue, Nov 13, 12 at 8:30
I think if you want to make it detachable, it stops being a peninsula and becomes a movable island that you just keep in that peninsula-like spot. I think it can look great as long as it looks like an intensional design element and not an afterthought. I probably would do a different countertop material, each countertop would have a finished edge, I might make one slightly lower or higher, probably the island lower so it can slide under the other countertop edge. You can make sure it doesn't roll with locking wheels, these have a heavy look though and may not work in your design style. It will be heavy and depending on how many drawers, what's in them, it may be unwieldy(think full cart at BJ's, Costco, Sam's Club). Different surfaces Half of this island is moveable, with split in countertop: If you visualize this island pushed up against the hutch, is that what you want? |
- Posted by olivertwist (My Page) on Tue, Nov 13, 12 at 21:39
Oh, wow, thanks, those pictures are so helpful. You are right, there's no way to make it really look "flush", but maybe a tiny island that's always pushed in to make it like a peninsula? Probably will make me crazy, with crumbs falling in the crevice... |

The company anticipates hiring and training a small, pilot sales force of five to ten sales representatives during the current quarter, with introductory sales calls expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year. While this approach mirrors the pilot commercial efforts by Questcor in neurology, nephrology and rheumatology, there can be no assurance that this initiative will lead to a fully-sized pulmonology sales force or that the company's efforts with respect to this disorder will otherwise be successful.
Questcor is also evaluating several potential clinical studies that have been recently proposed by key opinion leaders in the sarcoidosis field.

About Sarcoidosis
More commonly affecting young adults, sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease where cell nodules or granulomas can manifest in multiple organs, most often in the lungs. There are about 150,000 diagnosed sarcoidosis patients in the U.S., of which approximately 90% have some degree of pulmonary involvement.
Sarcoidosis can be difficult to treat, and if not treated successfully, serious health issues can develop, including lung scarring, fibrosis and infections, which may lead to respiratory deterioration and eventual failure. Between 30,000 and 45,000 diagnosed U.S. patients are considered to have moderate to severe chronic or relapsing disease. Only Acthar and steroids are approved for the treatment of respiratory symptomatic sarcoidosis.

Please help! This is my first time in posting a question but need some help. My aunt has a brother PE150 and has recently purchased a brother PED Basic to transfer additional patterns to her machine. Having had paid for a custom design to digitised, she has sucessfully transferred the design onto the blank embroidery card. But when she loads this into her PE 150, an error message comes up saying "This card cannot work. Turn off power, and change to embroidery card." I have tested the card on my brother (ULT3000) and the design shows up no problem - its a small 1.5"x1.5" design, so the card is not faulty.
I've researched that blank brother cards can be used with the PE 150. PLEASE help - she has now invested a lot in the sewing machine/PED Basic/custom design and we don't know what the problem is. if its easier email me on firstname.lastname@example.com |
Follow-Up Postings:
sharmina- Can you check the design and see what the hoop size is set for? When the design was digitized, depending on the software used, there is a hoop size set up for the file. Even though the design itself is obviously small enough for the sewing field of the 150, it's possible that the digitizer set it up using a hoop size that is too large for the machine. Unfortunately, if that is the case, you'll have to have the design edited to change the hoop size, which I don't believe you can do with PED Basic. Email me if you need some help with this. The only other possibility is that the card reader portion of the machine is not working. Is she able to use regular design cards on the machine? Laura |
- Posted by stitchntime9 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 13, 06 at 16:57
Did you aunt have the machine on or off when she inserted the card? The machine has to be off. You insert the card, and then turn the machine on. If I remember correctly, if you insert a card when the machine is on, it will buzz, scream, and hiss at you in the process. She may have not transferred all of the design on to the card...depending upon the computer, it can be fast or take forever, depending upon the transfer rate and size of the design. |
- Posted by randommarble (My Page) on Wed, Aug 30, 06 at 8:11
I know that with my machine you are meant to (before putting any designs on the card) put the card into the machine and save one of the designs off of the machine onto the card. This formats the card. Then when you put more designs on the card you have to save them into a particular folder. Possibly it is something like that with your aunt's machine too. |

I have a Baby Lock BL60E and I can save a pattern on the PED Basic card, but then when I try to put the card in my machine with the power off, then turn power on, the machine just buzzes. Help |
I had this same problem, first my Brother PE 150 just buzzed, I saved a smaller pattern on my card and tried again. This time I got the message "This card cannot work. Turn off power, and change to embroidery card". I then saved the same pattern but change to the smallest hoop size, then saved to card. This time it worked. |

When I take the card out, the screen comes on and it will allow me to use the designs that are preloaded on the machine. Can anyone tell me if the driver inside of the PE 150 maybe bad? |
I have a Brother PE 150 , it was working yesterday but today it keeps telling me that either the top or bottom thread is cut. I have checked it several times and the same message comes up. Any ideas please? |

Have you done a search/cleaning in the bobbin area and cutter? And do a cleaning of the top tensions--draw unwaxed dental floss thru the thread path with the foot raised. Sounds like there is thread bit somewhere giving the error message. Hope that is the case! |
Could someone give me advice on how to tread my P150 I have been unable to do it myself although I've looked at the videos on YouTube read manual and still can't tread , if someone tells me the rite tension to use it wud be great, my son brought me it on eBay and it doesn't look as if its been used much. Thank you any help would be great. ? M |
- Posted by dancingirl (My Page) on Thu, Aug 14, 14 at 7:28
Hi tectmum1...I have a PE 200 (snoopy machine) and I'm pretty sure they thread the same. Would you like me to scan the manual page & email it to you? Or better yet, if you don't have a manual, you can D/L free from Brother site in PDF form...then print off. The threading is actually very easy once you know the path, or follow the numbers. I would be happy to help you..contact me via my profile page. |

MTV Introduces Mobile TV App at MWC
By Jacqueline Lee, Contributing Writer
At Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) in Barcelona, MTV introduced their mobile TV app, MTV Under the Thumb, which allows people to co-view content and chat live while they are viewing. In addition, users can share favorite shows on Facebook (News - Alert) or pair their mobile device with a PC web browser, essentially turning the device into a remote control or a second screen.
Some shows initially available for viewing include Teen Mom, Jersey Shore and I Used to be Fat. In addition, the program offers news, previews, celebrity gossip and a "What's Hot" section. Subscriptions are offered at three levels for viewing content: "Tiny Thumb" is free, "Super Thumb" for 2.99 Euros per month of 29.99 Euros per year, and "Ultra Thumb" for free access to all shows if you have an MTV mobile handset.
The app is available on both Android and iOS platforms, but for now it is only available in Europe. "But of course the U.S. is aware and is following what we are doing. All the content is cleared and we have buy-in from at the Viacom (News - Alert) level but no short term plans to launch it there," said Michel Dupont, senior vice president of MTV in Europe.
The U.S. does have MTV's WatchWith app, which allows users to view photos, blog posts and video clips and to leave comments that can be shared with others who view the app. However, WatchWith lacks the real-time features and interactivity of Under the Thumb.
Last year, MTV enjoyed its highest ratings in five years, thanks to Vinny and Snooki and the Jersey Shore team, which is the top-rated show in MTV's 18 to 34 demographic and even outperformed Fox stalwart American Idol. This jump was 27 percent above numbers from 2010. With the app, MTV hopes to move its success to the second screen, thanks to the percentage of people aged 18 to 34 who use mobile devices.
For future improvements to the Under the Thumb app, MTV hopes to increase co-viewing to include communal viewing and chat with celebrities from MTV's reality shows. Other Viacom divisions outside of MTV may also make use of the Under the Thumb technology.

There are lots of little programs used by the Windows operating system that take up memory, waste disk space and CPU clock cycles. These programs are called "services" and include all kinds of things such as UPS support, Netmeeting, QoS packet scheduler, telnet, themes, and alot of other obscure things that the average user doesn't need.
Some of these services use more resources than others, so one of the safest and best tweaks you can perform to your Windows PC is to disable some of the unnecessary services that are installed by default. Some of these services are huge security risks, too, so it's worth going through this list to see what you really need and don't need running on your PC.
However, now comes the hard part. What services are unnecessary? Some are very necessary, so you can't just go around arbitrarily turning off services. The next section describes what each of these services are, with a description of that they do, and a recommendation whether to Disable it.
First, you should open up a window that allows you to see the services. You can do this in one of two ways:
Method one:
Method two:
What you'll need to do is right-click (or double-click) on the appropriate service, go to properties, and then alter the "startup type" to either automatic (starts at boot), manual (starts if windows needs it) or disabled (never starts). A rule to use here is, if you definetely don't need it, Disable it. If you don't know for sure, but think you don't need it, set it to manual.
Also…don't do all the services at once. Tweak a couple, then reboot and make sure your computer still functions fully. If it doesn't, go turn the services back on. If it does, continue on. If you've ever overclocked a processor or a video card, then you're probably familiar with the process. Only small tweaks at a time, then test, then some more tweaking. That is the only safe way to overclock (or disable system services).
Part 1 of our Bioshock Infinite Guide covers the basics, as well as 1999 mode. The aspect of this mode that provides less ammo is over-estimated.

For a long time friends and acquaintances have bugged me about setting up a site on couponing and various deals. Probably they were just tired of hearing me drone on…Am I the champion of couponers? Savior of the supersavers? Nah, I'm just cheap. For years I trudged down to Chicago's Maxwell Street to glean what treasures could be found. Later I transferred to the thrill of garage/yard sales. For the last year or two I've been into extreme couponing, which is buying as much as possible using little or no money. Basically, what you do is stock up on the free/cheap things and then shop in your stockpile. Sounds simple and actually, it is. Does it make sense that the week you need cereal it's regular priced ($4+) or crappy sale priced at $1.99 when the week before you could have picked up a bunch for less than fifty cents each? Do we smell a rat here? Keep checking back as I try to post as much as I can, on all sorts of great deals. If I say it's cheap, better believe me.

Target Corp.'s Robert Ulrich will retire as chief executive officer on May 1 and will be succeeded by Gregg Steinhafel, who is currently president.
Steinhafel has been the retailer's merchant prince of and critical to its strategy to be the most fashion-forward of the nation's major discounters.
Ulrich, who turns 65 in April, will remain as chairman through the end of fiscal 2008 in February 2009. He's been considered the architect of the chain's national expansion.
His departure comes at a time when Target's rate of sales growth and Wall Street appeal has slipped.
Jim Johnson, vice chairman of the executive committee of Target's board of directors, said, "The board has tremendous respect for Bob's exceptional leadership and the remarkable performance Target has achieved under his direction. His skill and integrity have created a highly successful organization and talented executive team which are admired throughout the retail industry. We are completely confident in Gregg's ability to continue this legacy, positioning Target to deliver profitable growth for many years to come."

Can a machine have a life of its own? Last year, Jon Ronson got an assignment from GQ to interview robots. He soon found himself in Vermont, sitting across from what's purported to be the world's most sentient robot: Bina48. Bina48 is modeled after an entirely human woman named Bina Rothblatt, whose partner Martine Rothblatt commissioned a robot capable of capturing the real Bina's essesence and bringing it to life. If Bina48 succeeds, Jon explains that it will mark the third time one of Martine's ideas has changed the world. David Hanson, Bina48's creator, argues that robots like Bina48 will be so lifelike within his lifetime that we'll be unable to distinguish them from real humans. In the meantime, Jon experiences one profound moment with Bina48 that hints at what the future may have in store.
Further reading:
Jon Ronson's latet book, The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry
Speckledspectacles is right on. I am huge Radiolab fan and listening to all the old episodes. As a transgender man I was surprised and disappointed by the clumsy, disrespectful treatment of Martine Rothblatt's story. The trans community has rejected the sensationalizing, inaccurate phrase "sex change." This term is out of date and out of touch. I think you all should research this issue and bring your language up to date.
Your handling of Martine Rothblatt's history was a bit disappointing. Her being trans didn't have a bearing on the story, and the use of a male name and pronouns just seemed disrespectful.
To emphasize: You showed more pronoun respect to Bina48 than Mrs. Rothblatt.
This was an interesting episode that was thought provoking as usual. I love radiolab and I love this style of journalism. However, one problem I have with journalism and the media as a whole is when a false message is communicated, especially when it relates to childhood diseases. This is more of an issue with Jon Ronson than it is with radiolab. He said that Martine Rothblatt had, in response to his daughters diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, developed a cure for pulmonary hypertension. THERE IS NO CURE FOR PULMONARY HYPERTENSION!! If the parents of a child with the same diagnosis heard this, they might wonder where their cure is lurking--why that cure hasn't reached them yet. We have better medicines to treat it, and newer and better medicines are being developed all the time making pulmonary hypertension more closely resemble a chronic disease rather than a terminal one, although it is still terminal. It is a terrible disease, and, although we are learning more about it, we still do not have a cure. Martine Rothblatt founded an organization to search for a cure and later formed United Therapeutics, which developed and now markets Remodulin. While Remodulin is probably the best drug on the market to treat severe pulmonary hypertension (and expensive--around $100,000 per year), it still has to be infused continuously through an intravenous or subcutaneous line. It does not cure pulmonary hypertension. It treats the symptoms, but if the drug were to be stopped, the symptoms would return. The disease still progresses--just more slowly.
Now that you know far more about the rare disease, pulmonary hypertension, than you ever wanted to know, please be responsible when reporting about fatal diseases such as this. There are plenty of other media that will be irresponsible in their reporting of childhood diseases. Let Dateline do that. I would like the intelligent reporting of radiolab to stay intelligent! The implications of this incident are likely of little consequence, but it contributes to the whole of bad reporting. Be careful out there! If you don't know how to interpret the information you get your hands on, ask someone who does know how to interpret it.
Notes on Making a Human Machine and 'Artificial Intelligence.'
And when we begin to speak about machine intelligence, we need to think about Plato and Aristotle and the pre-imperial Chinese philosophers as relating the polis or city or culture to a human. Oh, for sure, the two relate to each other—we are as much children of our culture as our parents—but we are capable of making the culture and city/polis in our image... and bringing her to life, as if a good golem, as if we were acting in the image of God the Creator. Will we be able to step back and declare, It Is Good? Well, not yet. Better keep going.
Note all the debates raging in our day and all the resources devoted to the question of whether or not we can make a machine or doll or computer program human. is this human to do? Some scared humanitarians ask, 'Are we threatening ourselves, building the creature who will take us over?' Don't worry, if we get an inkling of such rebellion beginning, we'll just cast the hardware down to hell! That is our model!
Are we threatening ourselves or could we be functioning in the image and to the call of our Creator and Creation Herself to express ourselves personally, to make the personal a feature of Creation that can multiply and be fruitful.
And this is more than frivolous, this work to humanize, for we need to humanize our culture and national governments and cities or communities. we seek to simulate the human or give birth to the personal or create with a let there be of our own in the image of our Creator Who beckons us to be Your junior partner and how better to do it than in this way.
Is there that to fear in our having a machine win jeopardy? well, we can make anything fearful because that is part of the repertoire we have. But there is obvious cause for this effort. And a keynote to our being able to say, as does God, and it was good is whether or not the creaturely computers we build are inbuilt, born with innate attributes such as the Confucian or Platonic qualities we are born with and live to make actual, which will result in individuals and communities who are characteristically and effectively caring.
Can we simulate the human? Do we want to? Depends. If we would give birth to a good, even godly child, as we would want to if we were having flesh child, then yes... and we would give birth or make our cultures and cities come to their Pinocchio apotheosis as well! If we are fashioning machines to be compassionate for the sake of getting into the brain of our enemy in order to do him in, well, I'm agin it then cause that ain't very kin-like or kindly.
"Just one question that no one touched upon....
What about reproduction? The purpose or drive of a life force, on a cellular level, is to reproduce. Machines can't match that, they are made of atoms. "
Reproduction? What's to stop robots from simply creating other robots via assembly-line no different than you'd build cars?
What would be interesting is to see is if rather than just an imperative to reproduce there is an imperative to SURVIVE. At some point, human beings could be the ultimate stumbling block to robot survival as we damage the environment, control robot up-time and use up the finite resources that may be better allocated to creating more robots. Would the robot population then simply go Terminator on us?
Machines can and do reproduce themselves already. When cloning becomes more established, machines will also be able to reproduce humans (and will do it for us).
Both machines and humans are made of atoms. That is something we actually have in common.
There is no good definition of what it is, that is called "life". It seems intuitive, but it is far from easy.
Crystals reproduce and grow, creating more complex structures.
Fire consumes and grows and reproduces itself.
On the other hand, frozen frog does not appear alive, but can become alive after thawing. The spores of bacteria, the seeds of trees may not fit any definition of "life", but we consider them alive.
So, to answer the question, whether robots will become "alive", we need to understand, what it actually means.
I saw a great program of Nova Science Now called What's The Next BigThing, which had a very similar story of a convincing social robot with a latex face that moved and showed emotion and everything. It was made to look like Philip K. Dick, author of Blade Runner. It was on Instant Watch on Netflix, well worth checking out. They touched on the same themes of "Darwinian Buttons" and such. I would say their robot was even more on point with fluent and convincing conversation, though his responses seemed more programmed. He even cracked wise a few times.
Great show as always. So Hanson believes that in his lifetime, he will see, or perhaps create, a robot that wll have interaction processes indistinguishable from humans.
Just one question that no one touched upon....
What about reproduction? The purpose or drive of a life force, on a cellular level, is to reproduce. Machines can't match that, they are made of atoms.
Maybe they will be able to interact in a way that is convincing, but I think I'm pointing to Robert's comment when he said that at the heart of it is still a feeling of yuck, of being cheated.
(just realized I put this in the blog comment section, sorry wrong spot!)

In this week's reading from Genesis, Abraham shows us what hospitality is all about.
Abraham sees three men in need and goes to great lengths to help them. He is totally attentive to the three strangers – he greets them and bows down in respect – he asks them to stay and rest – and on hearing their reply, he serves them with his finest flour and most tender, choice steer. Abraham not only serves his guests, he takes them into his heart, giving to them with great generosity. He cares for his guests both physically and spiritually. This is the true hospitality God calls us to.
The next time you offer hospitality to a friend or stranger, do so with the spirit of Abraham.
A passage from Hebrews sums up the lesson in story of Abraham quite nicely. "Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels."

Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue
Facts about Pudge
- Breed: Shih Tzu
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
My name is Pudge!
Pudge's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Hi! I'm Pudge. I'm the sweet (sometimes bossy) big brother to 3 siblings. I may be dominant with my siblings, but I get nervous when you take me for a car ride or take me to the vet...not my favorite things. I'm super-friendly with humans (although I may be rather vocal until you come and introduce yourself to me). I'm active and healthy but I do need eye drops in both eyes each day. The vet says there's been a bit of bone deterioration in my back right hip, but that doesn't keep me from running all over our big yard or taking long walks. In my new home, I think I need at least one other dog with me (may be my mom or another sibling). If you give me lots of love, I will surely become attached to you.
About Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue
About Our Rescue Group...
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from various Los Angeles shelters the day they are to be euthanized. Our goal is to help provide animals with a second chance to a happy life and to help reduce pet overpopulation through spay and neuter programs. Once rescued, we place our dogs into loving foster homes while they await adoption. We do not keep dogs in kennels. Placing the dogs in foster homes is the first step to rehabilitation, as it allows us to thoroughly evaluate a dog's demeanor and needs enabling us to make the perfect match of dog and permanent owner. We attribute our high rate of successful placement to our foster program. At Ace of Hearts, we do not discriminate against any breed, including those in the bully breed family. Additionally, Ace of Hearts is dedicated to educating the public on how to be responsible pet owners and on the importance of spaying and neutering. We believe the real solution to pet overpopulation is through spaying and neutering pets.Come Meet Our Pets...
Where: Petco in West Hollywood, 508 N. DohenyWest Hollywood, CA 90069
When: Three Saturdays a month (call for exact dates)
If you fill out an application, we can arrange for private showings of the dog at the foster parent's home.

Reds have little to fear from Cubs' offense in 2-1 victory
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com June 12, 2013 9:38PM

Updated: July 15, 2013 7:23PM
This is how bad it's getting for the Cubs' beleaguered lineup:
When pitcher Travis Wood batted Wednesday in a close game against pal and former teammate Mike Leake, the Cincinnati Reds starter feared Wood enough to pitch around him — even if it meant facing the top of the order with a man on base.
''I don't want to give him a mistake,'' Leake said after the Reds beat the Cubs 2-1. ''That's why I walked him . . .''
Wood drew the Cubs' only walk of the day, and Leake stymied the Cubs for eight innings as the Reds extended their Wrigley Field winning streak to 12, a Wrigley record for a Cubs opponent.
''It's a broken record,'' manager Dale Sveum said of the offensive woes that cost another high-performing starting pitcher a win and dropped the Cubs to a season-high 13 games under .500.
''It's getting frustrating,'' he added. ''We're just not getting enough quality at-bats from everybody on daily basis.''
Forget Starlin Castro's struggles. This is a Cubs epidemic, particularly troubling for how it's affecting core guys.
''[Anthony] Rizzo hasn't done anything in quite a while as well,'' Sveum said of the .252-hitting slugger who hasn't homered since May 18. ''Castro has probably had better at-bats than he has, really over the last month. We've got to get these guys going.''
Rizzo's $41 million deal over seven seasons was announced a month ago Thursday.
''Personally, it's frustrating," Rizzo said. ''But the team as a whole right now is struggling. That's probably the most frustrating part."
The only thing guaranteed is that there are nearly four months left in a long season, for better or worse.
''It's going to test everyone's character,'' Rizzo said. ''And it's going to be a grind. You're going to have to have fun, and if you look out there, it doesn't look like anyone's having fun right now.''
NOTE: The Cubs put reliever Zach Putnam (elbow soreness) on the disabled list and called up left-hander Brooks Raley from Class AAA Iowa. The results of Putnam's MRI exam weren't immediately available.

Will Congress do anything during the lame duck session? One thing we know for sure: we still need to do year-end planning with clients.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has granted relief of certain Form 5500 filers in Louisiana and Mississippi who were affected by Hurricane Isaac. The tax relief is based on local damage assessments by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). For a complete listing of localities granted relief, see IRS Notice IR-2012-70 dated Sept. 5. Form 5500 is filed with the Department of Labor (DOL); however, the information contained in the form is also used by the IRS and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). When the IRS grants disaster relief, the DOL and PBGC automatically follow suit as dictated by Revenue Procedure 2007- 56. As part of the relief efforts, the due date for filing Forms 5500 is extended to Jan 11, 2013 for returns with an original filing due date on or after Aug 26.
Currently, small businesses face great uncertainty with regard to income taxes in a multitude of areas, including income tax rates, long-term capital gains rates, the rate for qualified dividends, and whether, and to what extent, certain deductions and exemptions will be available. "Our members are receiving inquiries from their clients, sometimes on a daily basis, on whether the 'Bush Tax Cuts' will be extended, what will happen with estate taxes, how the 'Tax Cliff' will affect their businesses and whether a particular tax incentive will be extended another year," Jeffrey Porter, vice chair of the AICPA's Tax Executive Committee, recently told a congressional subcommittee. "Any further delay will magnify the frustration of many small business owners." "Regardless of whether you support or oppose an increase in income taxes, it is important to understand the significance of what is at stake," Porter said. "For example, it is nearly impossible to estimate the true cost of a purchase of new equipment when income tax rates are uncertain. Although income taxes are not the only factor in making business decisions, prudent business owners want to understand the tax consequences of a transaction." Porter gave his testimony at a hearing titled Adding to Uncertainty: Small Businesses' Perspectives on the Tax Cliff held by the House Small Business Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access. "I also strongly urge you to not underestimate the effect that the 'Tax Cliff' has on tax administration itself," Porter stated. "If Congress waits until late in the year or even into next year to enact tax law changes, the IRS and commercial software vendors must scramble to revise or issue new tax forms and update software." Last-minute changes are also very problematic for CPAs. Our members, a vast majority of whom are small businesses themselves, would face an increasingly compressed and perhaps hectic busy season. They would need to educate clients on the changes in the rules, advise owners on the tax consequences of business transactions, assist small businesses and individuals with tax and cash-flow planning, and prepare income tax returns – all in a relatively short period of time.
Many AICPA members have received emails from companies that are publishing and promoting a list of persons who have registered with the IRS for a preparer tax identification number (PTIN). These companies have purchased the Service's PTIN list, which is permitted under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Last year, the AICPA had numerous conversations with IRS staff questioning the appropriateness of the specific data items that the IRS released, such as mailing addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. We also suggested that the IRS: (1) provide an opportunity for preparers to "opt out" of the release of some or all of the personal and business information; and (2) adequately communicate with PTIN registrants about the disclosure of their information. The Service did re-visit its FOIA releases and made some changes to partially restrict some of the data being collected from PTIN holders to protect their privacy. First, the IRS now permits tax return preparers to list either a physical address or a P.O. Box as the "business address" when registering or renewing their PTIN. Second, any valid email address can be provided to the IRS as long as the PTIN holder regularly checks the email address for PTIN communications. These changes provide the PTIN holder with the ability to stop the release (under FOIA) of a tax return preparer's home address or of an email address that the preparer does not want made public. The current directories of PTIN holders are private, commercially oriented ventures and are not endorsed by the IRS. The Service does have plans on setting up some type of "look-up" data base of PTIN holders tentatively scheduled for opening sometime after the close of the upcoming tax season in spring 2013. Because much of the PTIN list and data is publicly available under FOIA, legal action by the IRS or others is unlikely. Nevertheless, we have raised questions with the Service about the possible misuse of, or confusion about, the use of the PTIN data. The IRS is reviewing the matter and is considering appropriate action. We will keep the AICPA membership informed about any further discussions we have with the IRS, as well as any follow-up actions the Service decides to take in reaction to these private PTIN directories.
The AICPA has announced the creation of the National Commission on Diversity to serve as champions of diversity within the accounting profession.

Lincoln's Watch and Chain
February 12th, 2010Filed under: Exhibitions
Gold watch and chain, 1861; Gift of Frank G. Logan, 1917.7
On February 11, 1861, one day before his fifty-second birthday, Abraham Lincoln boarded a train bound from Springfield, Illinois to Washington, D.C., where he would be inaugurated president on March 4. Before his departure, Lincoln received this beautiful gold watch from the Illinois State Journal, a staunch Republican newspaper that had backed his candidacy. Although they are not visible in this photograph, Lincoln's initials are engraved on the watch's front cover.
En route to Washington, Lincoln stopped in several cities. He was greeted by large crowds and showered with gifts, including a handsome black overcoat made by a Philadelphia seamstress. Lincoln also received fan and hate mail, evidence that many, but not all, approved of the new president. One of the most striking examples is a penciled note Lincoln received in New York City; it reads: "May the hand of the devil strike you down before long—you are destroying this country. Dam you—every breath you take—Hand of God against you."
The watch, coat, note, and many other treasures are on view in the exhibition Abraham Lincoln Transformed. The exhibition, which explores Lincoln's changing views on slavery and race, remains open through April 12, 2010.

EURYDICE – By Sarah Ruhl
February 5-8 at 7:30 p.m.
February 8 & 9 at 2 p.m.
William Allman Theater
Kleist Center for Arts and Drama
95 East Bagley Road, Berea
Tickets: 440-826-2240
General Admission: $10, Seniors/Students: $5
Into the Underworld: BW Presents EURYDICE
Written by Sarah Ruhl, EURYDICE brings the classic myth of Orpheus to life through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love.
EURYDICE will run February 5-8 at 7:30 p.m. and February 8 and 9 at 2 p.m. in the William Allman Theater at the Kleist Center for Art and Drama, 95 East Bagley Road in Berea. To purchase tickets, please visit the box office at Kleist Center or call 440-826-2240.
Contemporary Themes within Classical Roots
Ruhl's script takes the classic story of Orpheus and rewrites it from Eurydice's point of view, blending contemporary themes within the classical roots. The majority of the play, set in the underworld, provides a surreal and imaginary world for the audience to explore. This world has its own set of rules enhanced by special movement and its own unique soundscape.
In EURYDICE, the heroine reunites with her father in the underworld. Director Sara Bruner noted, "Ruhl's own father's passing had an effect on Ruhl's creation of the script. Ruhl creates a distinctive and important father-daughter relationship that sheds new light on Eurydice as a character."
Eurydice's father will be played by BW professor, Adam Heffernan. Casting Heffernan is providing new learning experiences for the students.
Key Contributors
Director Sara Bruner is an Artistic Associate of Great Lakes Theater. Recent acting roles include Mrs. Lovett in SWEENEY TODD and Queen Elizabeth in RICHARD III at GLT. Bruner has adapted and directed many Shakespeare plays for the Idaho Shakespeare Festival's educational outreach tour.
Adam Heffernan, portraying Eurydice's Father, is an Assistant Professor of Theatre at BW and teaches acting, Shakespeare, and voice. He has worked in film, television, and theatre across the country.
Sound designer, Matt Webb '08, will be creating a unique soundscape throughout the entire play. Webb was the Music Director at Great Lakes Theatre and is currently the Music Director for the acclaimed corporate entertainment group, The Water Coolers.
Sara Whale will be choreographing movement throughout EURYDICE. Whale attended Julliard School before joining Ram Island Dance and the Maine State Ballet where she performed, taught and choreographed for both companies. Whale has also been invited to create a world premiere work for Verb Ballets, where she is also on staff.
EURYDICE is costumed by Charlotte Yetman who is BW's resident costume designer. Recent designs for BW include FOLLIES, THE SEAGULL and TURN OF THE SCREW. Yetman's professional credits include SWEENEY TODD, CABARET, and INTO THE WOODS for Great Lakes Theater.
Jeff Herrmann, BW Professor of Theatre and resident scenic and lighting designer for the theatre program, is handling both the lighting and scenic design. His production design work for BW has included RENT, LA BOHEME, FOLLIES, and NOISES OFF.

The Madison River in southwest Montana is one of Montana's premier fly fishing destinations and for good reason.
This consistent fishery averages 2000 trout per mile with sizes ranging from 8 to 30 inches, and averaging 15 inches! The Madison is great for walk-n-wade or
drift boat fishing, and the river's diversity can suit any angler's needs, whether you are new to the sport or a seasoned veteran. Nymph, dry fly or streamer
fishing are all successful techniques to use on this river. The Madison River, with all its beauty, offers excellent opportunities for wild browns and rainbows,
and we can find them for you year round!
The Gallatin River was named after Albert Gallatin, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in 1805 by Meriwether Lewis, of the
Lewis and Clark expedition. The river made a name for itself after the famed movie A River Runs Through It was filmed here. This fertile, quintessential freestone
river is ideal for the walk-n-wade approach. Fed by high altitude snow runoff, freestone rivers become extremely cold in the winters to the point of freeze over in
some sections. In the summer the Gallatin has a consistent cubic feet per second (CFS), though water temperatures can fluctuate greatly from the morning to
afternoon. The scenic Gallatin is plentiful with smaller fish, mostly rainbows, averaging 8 to 12 inches with the occasional 16 to 20 inch brown.
The Yellowstone River is the longest free flowing river in the lower 48, not once impeded by a dam. This untamed river
starts in Yellowstone National Park and carves its way through some of Montana's most diverse and breath taking country. Because of its sheer magnitude, using a
drift boat or raft is the ideal way to fish this river effectively. This river offers indigenous Yellowstone cutthroats, wild rainbows, large browns and mountain
whitefish. Every angler should make it a point to wet a line on the Yellowstone at least once in their lifetime.
The Missouri River, also known as the "Mighty-Mo," originates a short drive west of Bozeman, next to the town of
Three Forks, Montana. Here, three rivers merge together- the Madison, the Gallatin, and the Jefferson- bringing the Missouri River to life. Along its journey the
Missouri has several dams, making most of the river a tailwater fishery (flowing from a reservoir out through a dam), also known as a "spring creek on steroids."
Because of its rich aquatic life it allows rainbows and browns to become very large in size!
The Bighorn River is another tailwater fishery, like the Might-Mo, producing large wild trout on small flies!
The Bighorn is located east of Billings near the town of Fort Smith, Montana. While the fishing on some rivers gets a late spring start due to muddy runoff,
the Bighorn can be fished year round. Using the drift boat allows us to jump from spot to spot, not only fishing from the boat but allowing us to stop and wade
some of the runs holding numerous rainbows and browns.
The Jefferson River has a lower fish count per mile so this is not a river you are likely to hear about when planning a
trip to Montana. But if you want a river with low fishing pressure, scenic views and a chance at a large Brown, consider a float on the Jefferson.

Movie Review By Misha Berson
There are two reasons to see "The Door in the Floor," a languorous, fitfully compelling screen adaptation of the first chunk of John Irving's best-selling novel "A Widow for One Year." The first reason: the accomplished performance by Jeff Bridges, one of our best under-sung actors, as successful children's author Ted Cole a tricky role Bridges handles with shrewd complexity. The second? Real-estate lust. Anyone wondering why East Coasters are gaga for the Hamptons, on Long Island, will get a clue gazing at the casually upscale spread where the film is set. The spacious, shingled Dutch colonial home, with its sweeping lawns and ocean vistas, belongs to Ted, his wife, Marion (a wanly melancholic Kim Basinger), and their 4-year-old daughter, Ruth (Elle Fanning). It's also a kind of shrine to the Coles' twin sons, a pair of golden boys whose accidental deaths in their teenage prime have haunted and paralyzed Marion for years, and made little Ruth pretty weird. Irving's "A Widow for One Year" covers three significant acts in Ruth's life. But "The Door in the Floor" (scripted by the movie's director, Tod Williams) centers on Act 1, the breakup of the Coles' long marriage due to prolonged grief and guilt, Ted's chronic infidelities and Marion's affair with Eddie (Jon Foster), a teenager who spends a summer as Ted's so-called assistant. Ted, who wrestles with his own fears and compulsions, is the most engaging character on hand as well as the most potentially repellent.
In Bridges' hands, he's a rumpled, bohemian charmer and genuinely loving father. His analyses of Eddie's writing attempts and Marion's chronic pain are spot-on, yet compassionate.
But Bridges doesn't shy away from Ted's manipulativeness and misogyny either. He's a rascal with the older women he seduces and dumps (Mimi Rogers plays one of his scores), the young girls he flatters and woos and even with the initially naive Eddie.
The coupling between Eddie and Basinger's somnambulant Marion transforms them, allegedly. But puppy love and depressive grief don't produce sexual sizzle not here, at least. The affair upsets the balance of power between the Coles. But it's hard to invest much in their marriage anyway. And flashbacks to their boys' fatal accident don't raise the stakes much. "The Door in the Floor" has "prestige indie project" written all over it. And if Bridges wins acclaim, it will be well deserved. But you have to wonder about a movie that leaves you with the wrong burning question. As in: if the Coles divorce, who gets dibs on their amazing Hamptons pad?

The Chula Vista Police Activities League (PAL) would like to form a team with citizens and community organizations to ensure another happy holiday season for the underprivileged children of Chula Vista. In 2007, the PAL Annual Holiday food and Toy Drive provided over 300 families and over 950 children with food and wrapped gifts. PALÆs success reflects the generosity and holiday spirit of the community.
The majority of children are from the elementary school level. However, to ensure no child is left out, PAL provides gifts to every child in the home under age 18.
The collected food and wrapped toys are delivered to pre-selected families in early December by uniformed police officers, firefighters, police explorers, volunteers and the PAL Board of Directors.
PAL was organized in 1992 to create and provide activities for the youth of South Bay. PAL is a community based, non-profit organization operated from the Chula Vista Police Department. PAL works with low income and at-risk youth providing after school recreation programs, job training and taking children to major sporting events.
Please come visit the Chula Vista Police Department with a new, unwrapped toy at 315 Fourth Avenue Mon-Fri from 8:00am-5:00pm or at our collection site on:
