PHOENIX (AP) -- A court commissioner decided Thursday that a Phoenix mother can have supervised visits with the young sons that she told police were left in a hot car when she couldn't find a baby sitter during a job interview.
Shanesha Taylor, 35, can have contact with her 2-year-old and 8-month-old sons if a Child Protective Services worker is present, Maricopa County Superior Court Commissioner Richard Nothwehr said.
Defense attorney Benjamin Taylor called the decision a victory.
"She loves her kids dearly," said Taylor, who is not related to the defendant.
Shanesha Taylor did not speak to media but was smiling outside the courtroom after the hearing.
Taylor was arrested March 20 after bystanders reported seeing her children alone in her car in Scottsdale. Authorities say the temperature inside the car was over 100 degrees.
Taylor told investigators that she didn't have anyone to watch her children.
She has drawn sympathy from people who see her as a single mother trying to get work. An online fundraising website set up by a New Jersey woman brought in donations for her.
Taylor has used some of the money to secure a new place to live, her lawyer said.
Despite the support, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery has said his focus remains on how the children were treated.
Taylor's trial on two felony child abuse charges was set for Sept. 4. She has pleaded not guilty.
Benjamin Taylor said the children have been living at a safe location but would not disclose who was caring for them.
"We hope to eventually reunite them permanently," he said about the children and his client.

After having experienced fighter jet operations in one of the worlds trouble spots, Ray Ekinci decided that everyone should be able to experience the adrenalin pumping exhilaration of jet fighter rides and joy flights. Having found no avenue to exercise the privileges of operating military jets in civilian airspace, Ray and others lobbied parliament to be able to use Warplanes for public consumption, Civil Aviation Regulation 262 AM was passed allowing these operations and from May 1998, Ray Ekinci commenced Jet ride operations on the eve of the approved date and then featured with a 7 minute flight in a MIG 15 fighter jet on the channel 9 Footy Show hosted by Paul Vautin and Peter Sterling. The response from the public was overwhelming and over 15500 people have since have had the privilege of experiencing the TOP GUN for a day concept.
Before you choose who you fly with you should note Air Combat Australia was the first Jet fighter warbird operator anywhere in the world until others entered the industry in the early to mid 2000's. All procedures and services offered by our competitors were pioneered and developed by ACA.
ACA has serviced some major corporate clients, including Telstra, 3M, Mercedes Benz, Forsters Breweries, TCN 9, Ricoh copiers, Penrite Oil. Why have these Multi national companies chosen ACA? its because we are the longest serving, safest and most qualified organisation on the warbird market
Ray Ekinci:
Ray has been flying since 1982 and is currently the Chief Pilot and Chief flying instructor of Air Combat Australia. Ray is also the chief pilot of Dynamic Helicopters. He is currently one of few pilots who Train and Test the other civilian Jet Fighter Ride operators in Australia. Ray has flown various types of aircraft including, fighter trainers, fighter jets, heavy Boeing transports, and medium sized turboprop aircraft and helicopters. Ray has flown as a pilot in three war zones flying fighters and transports, and other jets.
Licenses Held – CASA and FAA fixed wing air transport licenses
34 Piston types
5 Fighter types
4 Turbo props
3 Transport jets two as captain
3 Corporate jet
5 Turbine helicopter types
4 Piston helicopter types
Endorsement – Grade one instructor rating
Command instrument rating
Authorised testing officer for the issue of Pilots Licenses
Low level aerobatic approval
Low level flight approval (below 150 feet)
CASA fast jet maintenance test pilot on Eastern Bloc jet fighters
Low level fast jet aerobatic testing approval. The only approval of its type in Australia
Jay Ekinci:
Jay has been flying since he was a toddler, starting official flying lessons at the age of 12 he flew solo at the age of 16 (the earliest he could apply for a student pilots license) by the age of 17 Jay had completed multiple twin endorsements, formation, formation aerobatics-lead aircraft, aerobatics, and low level aerobatics to 1500ft AGL. Whilst he was 17 he was named "Australia's youngest jet fighter pilot" when he completed his first fast Jet type endorsement on L39 VH-NCI (RED 25). By the age of 19 Jay had obtained his commercial pilots license and completed his first International ferry flight, making a successful journey from Singapore to Sydney in our CT/4E airtrainer's(photo on the right). Jay now holds multiple twin types, low level aerobatics approval to 500ft AGL, Fast jet Type L39, Formation, Aerobatics, Formation Aerobatics both lead and wingman, Night Flying Approval, Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) and also instructs full time at ACA.

Hello Alina, could it be shimanishiki? This type is grown widely and offers flowers that are different combinations of pink white and red. I bought one myself this spring, no blooms yet, of course, but I hope it will look like yours. |
Hi Rian, thanks for your suggestion! I love Shimanishiki, I was going to order one. But I thought that it is more white with red than pink. Is such a wide color range possible in one variety? I think my Peony looks more like this one. Please post of your Shimanishiki when it will bloom! |
- Posted by lemecdutex z15 CA Petaluma (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 07 at 23:52
I don't think it's that Chinese Tree Peony, yours pretty much looks like one of the Japanese ones, and Shimanishiki can vary tremendously. I've recently come to find out that there are several "forms" of tree peonies with the exact same name. Makes it pretty impossible to tell what you've got at times. Just about any time I see a Japanese plant with stripes, it's got nishiki in the name (it means brocade). --Ron |
- Posted by birdinthepalm (My Page) on Fri, May 4, 07 at 7:47
Though I'm far from being an expert about peonies in general, or especially so the "tree" ones, I've read only a few articles about the Chinese Tree Peonies, and that emphasized the way they're grown moreso than the actual varieties offered, though just reading on the topic, the flower forms are generally quite different I guess, with the Chinese ones being much more doulble , without the more open centers in most Japanese ones. The major difference in one article emphasized the fact that the Chinese ones being offered may be rooted cuttings rather than the most frequently offered grafted Japanese ones found offered by most U.S. sources. There was also some discussion about proper planting depths for the grafted tops to root, and perhaps to remove or NOT to remove the herbceous rootstocks once the grafts have rooted well. Having tried that once, I no longer do, though perhaps in the long run , it might be advisable. A long topic of debate , that might prove to be however? At any rate, perhaps more of the Chinese varieties will be offered in the future, though I'm not familiar with any of them right now. As for the "unnamed" status of many plants offered by various nurseries, I'd guess it's just a slick way of offering various cultivars and hybrids, without worrying about those "touchy" pattents etc. or at least that's been my suspicioun in most cases. I guess in general it's thought that if any "unnamed" plant is offered cheaply enough, most folks aren't at all concerned about precise names for their plants? |
Look at shimano fugi at peonygarden.com |
Thank you for your help! Knowing that it is grafted and basing on its form, I was thinking it is Japanese. I like knowing my plants' names, but if it is that hard to determine, I am OK with that. Thanks for all info! Alina. |
Too many things dictate what a tree peony is named. I agree it is a Japanese type tree peony but many of the plants, if on their own roots are seedlings. I know of at least a couple of wholesale companies that offer seedlings. At one of the HPS sales a couple of years ago we were able to get 100rd tp seedlings. At that time no one wanted a unnamed tp and I ended up with some of the leftovers which range from white to blush, a peach which is wonderful, and one that is about 12 inches that that had its first bloom this year ready to open when the freeze hit. Just because you don't know if it has a name should mean you love it more. After all it could be the only one and it is YOURS. |

This is a Fernleaf Hybrid that I purchased from Adelman peonies last fall. It is probably a hybrid of anomala species. The flowers are magenta. |

Very brilliant magenta, bet it really catches the eye! I don't have a fernleaf peony, it is very attractive. I like Nova too. |
- Posted by LizinElizabeth 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, May 11, 14 at 22:22
Very pretty! I got Nova from GW last fall too, hope mine blooms this spring! It looks like a very light yellow, is that correct? I've read that Nova can bloom white or yellow so I wasn't sure what to expect. Kousa, how are your seedlings that you got from ebay doing? You had some pretty blooms last year, wondered if they'd look the same 2nd year or if the blooms would be fuller. Fun to get something like that that isn't registered to see what you end up with! |
Yes, Nova is a cool light yellow color. The color is still yellow the second day. I really like it too. I did not expect it to be this pretty as it looks rather plain in photos. So far I am really happy with my peonies from Gilbert Wild. All are showing flower buds this spring. In fact, I have 3 buds on Nova. |
- Posted by LizinElizabeth 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, May 12, 14 at 22:22
We have snow again.....Missed my first bloom, too.....Had tiny P. Japonica put up 2 tiny stems with 1 tiny bud, saw that it was showing color on Thursday evening, flew out Friday without taking time to take a photo and it's gone now with the new snow. Oh well, have plenty more that will make up for it! Kousa, I've ordered from GW just about every year and I've never had any problems with their roots. Actually had one I received last spring put out a bloom that same season. I know there are plenty of people who don't want to order from them but I'll keep doing it! Their roots are every bit as healthy as those I've ordered from much more expensive places. I probably have had some mis-labeled plants but one of my absolute favorites is a NOID, probably from them because I can find no pictures or descriptions of any peony I've ever purchased that matched. This is a pic of it last year. I divided it and kept several pieces for myself, sent one to my sister in OK and one for a trade. It reminds me of the colors of the dogwood blooms in East Texas where I grew up... |
- Posted by stevelau1911 6 (My Page) on Mon, May 12, 14 at 22:39
It makes me kind of anxious to see mine bloom. They are getting pretty close, maybe 1 week away from blooming here. |
Liz, Your Noid is beautiful! Does it have a scent? Are the stems strong? Stevelau, please show photos of your tree peonies and itoh peonies blooms. You probably have the most extensive collection than anyone here. |
- Posted by timhensley 5VT (My Page) on Tue, May 13, 14 at 15:47
Kousa - love the fern leaf plant. The flower is just beautiful. |
Thank you, Tim. Though the blooms do not last. They are gone in 3 days. |
- Posted by stevelau1911 6 (My Page) on Tue, May 13, 14 at 21:20
Sure. I believe I will only have about 15 species blooming this year, but there will definitely be more in the coming years. I think there are some people with a larger collection than me. I'm only at about 140 species total, most of them potted. More than half of my main peony bed as shown here is going to bloom. I just added a nice layer of mulch over them today. |
- Posted by LizinElizabeth 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, May 13, 14 at 23:11
Can't wait to see it in bloom, Steve! Kousa, the NOID has a strong stem but I didn't notice a scent last year. I'll pay more attention this year, need to document what I have better so I can start chipping away at the NOIDs! That one blooms pretty early, I took that picture June 16th last year and I think my very first peony opened on May 31st or so. |
Excellent pic of your hybrid, Kousa. Beautiful flower. As well as your Nova. And yay! It starts! Liz, your noid sure is pretty! |

I asked this on the lawn care forum and didn't get much response. My problem is I have a large lawn (approx. 2 acres) but a portion of it is zoysia that stays brown until late in the season, I would like to kill it and reseed with new seed to match existing lawn( KBG, Fescue, and Rye combo).
My questions are: 1: When is the best time to do this? 2: What is the best way( Round-up, sod remover, other)? 3: How long should I wait to seed? I am sure there is more questions to follow but this is a start Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by yarddoctor (My Page) on Mon, Jul 7, 08 at 6:07
Dear Amy, Thank you very much for your inquiry. My suggestion for removing the zoysiagrass is to target a seeding for early September. In mid August apply Round up to the zoysiagrass (and about 3-5 feet outside and apparent area). Flag the area in the form of a square or rectangle for ease of operation. After seven days, cut the rectangle out with a sod cutter and perform any soil changes you need. In the week prior to seeding check the area for regrowth. If there is any, apply Round up again. (You can actually apply this up to and during the seeding process with no ill effect on the seed. The roundup only affects living tissue, the seed by definition is still dormant until it imbibes water and starts the germination process. This can be an effective way of controlling a difficult grass like zoysiagrass or bermudagrass.) Again, thanks for the question and let me know if you have more. Respectfully Trey Rogers, The Briggs & Stratton Yard Doctor, YardDoctor.com |
Dr. Rogers, Thanks so much for the reply. Do I have to cut the dead Zoysia with a sod cutter or can I just seed over it? I was hoping to make it as easy as possible. What seed brand do you recommend for the reseeding and overseeding in the fall? I used the Scotts Premium but it was very expensive when I used 6 large bag. Thanks again. |

GOSSLING's golden harvest has today broken borders, with news of UK label Polydor and booking agents Primary Talent inking deals with the Melbourne-based artist. The news comes hot on the heels of an announce from the other side of the globe, with Gossling invited to showcase at mega-conference SxSW in March 2014.
The international deals place Gossling within Polydor's revered artist stable, housing the likes of Lana Del Rey, Haim, Laura Marling and Ellie Goulding. Primary Talent booking magnates Nick Holroyd and Matt Bates – the team behind Alt-J and Azealia Banks, among others, will represent Gossling in the live arena.
Polydor and Primary Talent are the latest to fall under Gossling's charms, with her recent UK and US run dazzling audiences on both sides of the Atlantic and publicly lauded in The Guardian, Rolling Stone (USA), New York Magazine and Boxx Magazine.
Her acclaimed debut album, Harvest Of Gold has been celebrated across the nation, and being christened this week's triple j Feature Album has only added to the applause. As her Harvest Of Gold Tour ignites the East Coast, Australia's love of Gossling continues to grow, with the songstress also kicking off an eight-week series with Vevo Lift and featuring in The Cancer Institute of NSW's Pretty Shady campaign, boosting skin cancer awareness amongst youth.
"...the best sounds of the year."
â â â â Jeff Glorfeld, The Age, Shortlist
"Her debut album is another mood-altering work of substance… Sounds like a private universe."
â â â â Cameron Adams, Herald Sun Hit
"Gossling and producer John Castle craft impeccable recordings."
Craig Mathieson, Sydney Morning Herald
"Joyous, honest and dreamy"
Harper's Bazaar
Harvest Of Gold is out now through Dew Process/Universal Music Australia. Gossling's East Coast Tour wraps up at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory this Saturday, November 23 - tickets available via MOSHTIX
Having just released the first teaser 'Crazy' taken from the band's forthcoming debut LP due out mid-2015, Brisbane's Art of Sleeping announce an east coast tour of the same name. Shortly after their scheduled performances on some of the countries biggest stages over the New Year at Falls Festival, the band are set to take the stage in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this Summer.
Bernard Fanning offers up 'GROW AROUND YOU' lifted from his latest #1 album Departures. Berneard and his band will be stopping by the Fotty Show AFL Grand Final show on Thursday 26th September for a special televised headline-performance.
Returning in a wall of shimmering synth and hook-laden guitars, Guineafowl delivers a partnering video for new single 'Little Death (Make It Rain)' and announces details of a special EP launch night taking over Sydney's Club 77 on Thursday 10th October

Elo hell
so i started off landing around the upper 1100's. i started a bit early, started off with lots of potential, but it seems the better i get the worst people i get paired up with...so i topped 1271 and that was my highest...despite trying to get into the 1300's i kept sticking to the 1200's and then all of a sudden i got kicked to the upper 1100's, i stayed there for a bit, and soon enough got kicked hard into the 1090's...ouch!
from 1271 to 1095 just seems awful...i've seen worse from some friends who dropped from like 1365 to like 800, my question now is how the hell do i escape this? i've heard of people who started off in the 1300-1400, dropped below 1000, created a new account and are well over 1600-1800 in their current account. Why is it every time i try to carry from one lane, the next lane feeds or loses their lane? i tried to jungle and always have a team who feeds so much i can't help at all... when i do mid i have a fail jungler, and when i adc i have a fail support or again fail jungler...i've only tried top like once and i did well top, thing is i don't have tons of top champs and to actually get top, (which by the way seems to be the 1st thing people call) is just a mess...no one seems to be so flexible...i'm open to filling in but every time i do so there is that one person that somehow got forced into a role...:/ how does that happen? ugh! Anyways i play normals and do well, i play ARAMS and do well, i main jungle in my 5 v 5 ranked team and play with my 3 v 3 ranked team as well and play well as well. so i kinda don't know what to do, i'm sure it's not entirely me, i started off really good, but the better i get the worse others get... i need to know if it's just me so i would appreciate it if someone who can carry duo with me...of course we would have to play normals to make sure it isn't me, i wouldn't want to drop anyone to a lower elo than they are already in...thanks guys, and any advice would be helpful :) |
I have a question for you. Why do you think your TOP Elo, the best you've ever played + best teams you've ever gotten is representative of your every day playing skill?
How do you "know" you're better than they are? You should go read up on the dunning-kreuger effect.
Also, you shouldn't need to have MIAs called for you. They're a luxury, not a need. You should have wards on your lane that allow you to see people coming up or down to your lane. You then have map awareness and realize "oh my god they're coming for me!" and walk away. |
well i suspect i am because lots of people have pointed it out, it's not a self-realization thing...i myself didn't notice it until people told me so, when i play ranked people tell me i am good but because of a certain lane we lost...i don't automatically think i'm better than they are, but by how the game progresses i assume i am due to their lack of ability and communication.
Well, technically, by definition there HAS to be someone who is better than everyone else. But I digress.
Ok so, you're better than the people you're paired up with - because of how the game ends? But there are times when it's your fault. I don't follow. You're saying you're better than the people you play with, and they tell you that, but you can't win games? For the record, League is about winning, not about doing some other thing well. I can play AP Yi and go 50/0 mid. If I lose that game, it's not because of "Elo hell", but rather because my skills were inferior and the enemy team did something better than our team and won for it. |
btw i'm not saying that all of our wins were because of me, i know they're not, i've been carried before, and have carried before, but when you get paired up with people who don't give a damn over and over again, well the true reflection of your skill is very obscure. |
It sucks
No it isn't. It sounds like you're winning and losing a roughly equal amount of your games - which is what the matchmaking system aims to do. I'm something like a 1500 player (hopefully higher :P), and when I started at 1270 last season, I shot up to 1470 very quickly (45~ games or so). You'll get games where people give up, yeah, but so will the enemy. If you're a better player, you'll carry a majority of those games and go up in Elo.
Also, I checked your match history and you've played very few games. 40-50 is barely starting to scratch a proper sample size. |

I just checked out your blog (very nice by the way) and I notice that I have a lot of the same Japanese pattern books you do and I've made several of the same styles for my 6 year old daughter. Too funny! If not for being a day apart, I would ask if we were seperated at birth! :o)

I checked your blog, hmmm not that easy making a bathing suit. I have a bathing suit that fits perfect, I think I wil try to make a pattern from that. Because as you mentioned, the burda style pattern seems rather short, not something for a "busty" person like me,… Thank you for the information!

Hi there.
I'd love to make your Girls ruffle skirt, but can't find a link to the actual tutorial (but I am new to all this so I may have missed it). Any chance you can point me in the right direction. Your skirt is absolutely gorgeous and just the style I am looking for. I went to the page you listed as credits, but that skirt is different.
Many thanks in advance
Dec 27, 2010, 10.49 AMby nikkishell
Hi Carlene. The skirt in the link is the exact same skirt as what i made and is the tutorial i used to make the skirt in the photos.

Feb 2, 2010, 05.28 AMby nikkishell
Hi Meg, check out the Ning group:http://burdastyleclubs.ning.com/group/bscmelbournecbdaustralia
We meet at Tessuti Fabrics at 141 Flinders Lane usually on the last Thursday of the month from 6:30 until 8:30 but we're a week late with January's meet up which will be this Thursday instead.
Dec 18, 2009, 06.41 PMby pixelink
Hi Nikki, I love Tessuti fabrics, but do they offer a discount when ordering more than a certain amount of fabric. I live in Hobart, nowhere to buy decent fabric down here and normally visit my old home town of Sydney when buying fabrics. I am not very familiar with Melbourne, but passing through VIC on Monday and hoping to visit some fabric stores. Thanks, any info would be a great help. PIXE
Dec 18, 2009, 10.51 PMby nikkishell
Hi Pixe,
yes we do offer a discount of 30% on amounts over 10m but this must be 10m of one fabric.
I'll be working Monday, i hope you get a chance to drop in and we can chat more about it:)
Dec 19, 2009, 06.37 AMby pixelink
That's brilliant, meeting you and the 30% discount. We have a big day planned, driving up to South Coast NSW, but allowing myself 2 hours of fabric store hopping. Will keep my eye out for you when in store. PIXX

Hello Nikki, you have my condolences. We are moving some time in the next 17 days. This will be our 12th move in 43 years. Never had to do a continent-to-continent move, though; and probably never will. Keep well, and pack the sewing machines carefully. Cordially, Nehmah
Sep 15, 2009, 10.04 AMby nikkishell
Thanks Nemah, i sort of think moving from the UK to Australia was easier than moving to the other side of the same city! we have accumulated so much stuff.

Oh and good luck with your move too :)

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

(Yonhap) -- South Korea's prices remained second lowest in 2008 among
those of other major economies, data showed Monday.According to the data
offered by Statistics Korea, South Korea's prices were the lowest only to
Mexico in the cited year among 30 member nations of the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development.When Korea's prices were set at the

IRELAND BORN, Spain educated and Chelsea, London, based since 1989.
Phelim graduated in 1997 with a First in Information Management / Publishing from a London University. His Erasmus studies were spent at the University of Granada, Spain.
In an Oxford Street school Phelim once taught/learnt from a well-known entertainer! But that was only because both, being English language teachers, had been dragged before the Principal for retraining.
Up until recently he could be found in a Worcester, London, Chelmsford or Belfast class as he was a supply teacher.
In 2014/15 he volunteered to teach for Vaughan Systems, Madrid.
In 2011, Phelim broke out of his comfort zone. He accompanied some of his ex-pupils to an open audition, seeking Russians/East Europeans, for a period drama feature film. But it was he who got cast, though - in the end - not being featured! Months later he thought, "If I can get cast in that, what else could I get cast in?"
2012 and 2013 saw him being featured in commercials, docs, features, short films, music videos, virals, trailers and a tv series. In the summer of 2014 he became a professional actor.

Astronomers discover a lightweight galaxy.

The presence of a very small galaxy neighboring the Milky Way is having big reverberations for astronomers' models of the universe. The galaxy, named Seque 2, is the most "lightweight" galaxy ever found, according to scientists from the University of California-Irvine, who conducted new measurements of the dwarf galaxy and published a concluding study on it on June 10 in the Astrophysical Journal. The scientist additionally note that the galaxy offers important clues to how iron, carbon, and other elements vital to human life originally formed, and it vindicates some previous models that had hitherto been in serious doubt.
Seque 2 numbers only around a thousand stars, bound together by dark matter, and it orbits the Milky Way at about 114,000 light years from the Sun. Scientists first caught sight of it in 2009, while scanning large areas of the sky during the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which produced 3-D maps of more than 93,000 different galaxies.

Armed with an army of innovative and certified shutterbugs, Olan Mills Portrait Studio provides families with high-quality portraits, continuing a mission that was established more than 75 years ago by founder Olan Mills Sr. Skilled in the art of capturing infants, children, families, and bunny-ears-giving ghost orbs on film, Olan Mills's experienced smile snappers will take a series of poses amid a variety of backgrounds and lighting options. The studio is equipped with a selection of props—including numbers for birthdays, toys, and boxes—and patrons may bring their own photo-enlivening items from home. The resulting photos find their way to prints in natural color, black and white, or sepia tones; they can also be immortalized in the studio's signature Old Masters style, a canvas brushed with highlights to recreate look of an oil painting. Like the gentlemanly mariners of ages past with their full schedule of sea-battles, the photographers welcome appointments, but do not require them.
Muhammad Ali, Barack Obama, Jay Leno, Tony Bennett—renowned shutterbug Kim Jew has aimed his lens at them all. His photographs of celebrities and prominent politicians have landed on the pages of high-profile publications including Harper's Bazaar and GQ over a career that has spanned more than three decades. Today, he helms three studios, where a staff of shutterbugs snaps images in styles ranging from composite and fine art to editorial high fashion. The studios specialize in portraiture, documenting graduating seniors wearing caps and gowns, toddlers wearing cupcake crumbs, and families showing off the matching dimples they got from a great aunt's insistent cheek pinching.
For more than 35 years, the experts behind Kenneth Brown Photography have snapped images of families, students, and children within their professional photography studio. They process all images using in-house digital equipment to ensure that the final work captures just the right mood. The sharpshooters can also make arrangements for on-location shots.
Photographer Omar Mena captures natural expressions and genuine rapport during shoots held in his studio or offsite. His meticulous coverage can document special days, such as weddings or quinceañeras, as well as relaxed moments between loved ones, such as when engaged couples simultaneously decide to take a catnap. After shoots, Mena transforms his footage into professional-quality prints, DVD slideshows, and photo albums for subjects to cherish.
As proud members of the community, Daniel and Tamara Esquibel take great pride in providing their community with quality photography. As parents, they also understand how fast kids grow up. They slow the process down with lively portrait sessions for kids and families. Portraits for high-school seniors are available, as well. With the same enthusiasm they show for those shoots, they also cover weddings and special events such as dance recitals. Those special events can gain an extra boost with their photo-booth rentals. Photo booths come with an onsite attendant, unlimited photos, and fun props to pose with.
President George Bush. Steve Forbes. Jamie Lee Curtis. Aside from the champagne-flute birthmark all famous people have, these three celebs all share the experience of posing for the cameras of Vickie and Ryan Fellows. Regardless of the A-list status of their clients, the duo treat their subjects to a personable, creative experience. Vickie frames families, kids, and expectant moms while Ryan photographs events and high-school seniors.
Many of these personalized portraiture sessions unfold in the pair's new studio, where clients can pose in the natural light streaming through the windows in the high-ceilinged space. The Fellows also adapt their photojournalistic style to the outdoors by harnessing early morning and late afternoon light to illuminate their subjects. On-location at clients' homes, Vickie and Ryan use studio and natural lighting to ensure the best shots possible. After sessions, the pair perform their own in-house touchups, printing, and framing to preserve your favorite images with products ranging from prints and canvas gallery wraps to DVD slideshows and coffee-table books.

Obama: Can Bears have Aaron Rodgers?
August, 12, 2011
Kevin Seifert | ESPN.com
Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty ImagesAaron Rodgers presents President Obama with a Packers jersey during the team's White House visit.
Before Friday, I had never had the remote inclination to watch a championship team's visit to the White House. So while I have no context for comparison, the Green Bay Packers' visit Friday afternoon was fun and particularly interesting for its NFC North angles.
Among them: The President of the United States' request to trade quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the Chicago Bears. More in a bit.
President Barack Obama, of course, is a longtime Bears fan who provided the Packers some bulletin-board material last January when he said he would attend Super Bowl XLV only if the Bears won the NFC Championship Game. After the Packers' victory, cornerback Charles Woodson told teammates that if Obama didn't want to see the Packers play in the Super Bowl, "we'll go see him" by winning it.
Friday, Obama said he had learned something during that episode: "Don't mess with Charles Woodson."
In light-hearted remarks during a 10-minute ceremony, Obama said: "I'm just going to come out and say it: This hurts a little bit. This is a hard thing for a Bears fan to do."
He added: "You guys [are] coming into my house to rub it in. What are you going to do, go to Ditka's house next?"
Packers fans, Obama said, should "enjoy it while it lasts" because Bears fans "have two dates circled" this season -- the two Bears-Packers games. Joking, I think, Obama reminded the Packers that "if you guys are on a roll" late in the season, "just keep in mind that there is only one person here who can ground all planes in and out of Green Bay if he has to."
Obama got in the obligatory joke about linebacker Clay Matthews' hair and, after Woodson presented him with an honorary share of Packers stock, Obama said: "If I'm a part owner, what I'm thinking is we should initiate a trade to send Rodgers down to the Bears. What do you think?"
Woodson then clarified that Obama is "a minority owner."
Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty ImagesPresident Obama laughs after Charles Woodson gave him an honorary share of Packers stock.
(An aside: Jay Cutler just can't get an ounce of love -- not even from the President of the United States!)
Meanwhile, Packers players filled Twitter with some cool photographs from their day at the White House. Some of the best:
- Linebacker A.J. Hawk, tight end Spencer Havner, linebacker Brad Jones and Rodgers in front of an Abraham Lincoln portrait.
- A view of the White House from tight end Tom Crabtree that you don't normally see.
- Safety Nick Collins' view of Obama's entrance with coach Mike McCarthy, team president Mark Murphy and general manager Ted Thompson (not shown).
- Receiver Greg Jennings' photo with Woodson and Obama.

Category Archives: Samantha Jade
Samantha Jade (born 18th April 1987) is a Pop/R&B singer from Perth, Australia.
2004 when she was just 16 she landed her song "Secret Love" on the Shark Tale soundtrack. The song was performed by teen pop star JoJo, but it wasn't long before Jade's powerful singing voice would be featured on another soundtrack, 2006's Step Up, which put the now 18-year-old singer in the company of Ciara, Kelis, and Sean Paul. Jade's track, also titled "Step Up," was written in part by superstar songwriter Diane Warren and produced by Wyclef Jean.
Jade worked on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and High School Musical star, Ashley Tisdale's debut album, providing backup vocals for tracks, including "Positivity". She is currently working on a debut solo album, which is due for release early 2008.
It has been confirmed that Samantha will make her film debut starring in the upcoming 2009 film Way of the Dolphin as Kita. (Wikipedia)

The Inexplicable 2nd Annual Junkfood Cinema Awards
2011 Year In Review By Brian Salisbury on December 30, 2011 | Comments (9)When we at Junkfood Cinema heard that we had somehow again avoided outright cancellation, clearly an oversight on the part of hectically busy and woefully unobservant management, we decided to celebrate with another installment of the Junkfood Cinema Awards, affectionately known (read "irresponsibly abbreviated") as The Junkies. Since this was our sophomore effort, we really wanted to flaunt our year-long incompetence with plenty of pomp and circumstance. We therefore hired a big time Hollywood director, one who had similarly proven his commitment to terrible films, to produce a garish, way-too-expensive, online awards ceremony. But then we had to fire him over some incredibly unsavory comments he made; something about rehearsals being for fatties. So instead, we're just going to do the exact same crap we did last year. Enjoy.
A Dragon-Gilded Treasure Trove of Other Fantasy Movies Featuring the Cast of 'Harry Potter'
Cinematic Listology By Ashe Cantrell on July 14, 2011 | Comments (3)Here's a fun fact: Prior to 2001's releases of Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, fantasy movies were frequently silly, low-budget shlockfests that actors only wanted to make so they could eat something other than whatever they scraped from under their fridge for another month. (For the record, I am told that this lifestyle — I like to call it Underfridging — is good for bolstering your immune system. On the other hand, high potential for scurvy. Your call.) And since the Harry Potter series has spanned eight films and employed every single actor in Britain at least once (twice in the case of Warwick Davis), you know there's a treasure trove of painfully cheesy fantasy movies lurking in their collective resumes. Let's take a look at some of them!
Welcome back to Junkfood Cinema: if you don't leave now, it's consensual. This is the part of the internet where your intrepid host (or, in this case, your intrepid host's wife) dons her finest Middle Age-y costume, unsheathes her silver Nerf sword and just starts whaling on an awful, maleficent movie. And yet–probably as a consequence of some ambiguous plot device early in my childhood–I check the killing stroke, throw down my weapon and extend my hand in peace to this humbled, repentant film. I cement our bond by throwing a feast in its honor and invite our reader (yes, singular) to indulge in a snack specially tailored to the film: not only not fit for a king, but probably not legal in any monarchical government. This week's mistake of draconian proportions: Dragonheart

As the events of "The Gathering" unfolded, I couldn't help but yearn for my very own 18th-century Emily Post (MacPost?) to explain the intricacies of Highland etiquette. After all, one misplaced oath could mean your head. (I can't even begin to imagine the punishment for eating all of the Laird's biscuits!) Our heroine could have used some customs training as well, seeing as it was Claire's (understandable) naïvete that put Jamie in mortal peril (and after she spent weeks tending to his wounds).
But let's start at the beginning. Emboldened by the folk song of last week (you remember—the one about a woman returning home through the stones), Claire's been busy planning her escape from Castle Leoch, secretly mapping her route through the woods and leaving hair ribbons behind as bread crumbs. With her plan nearly realized, she sets out to shake her two shadows, finding a distraction in the form of a bonny lass to set the pair fighting over. All Claire needs now is a weapon, so she goes to the kitchen to retrieve a knife... where she's intercepted by Mrs. Fitz. She admonishes Claire for not being gussied up for the oath-taking.
"I assumed a Sassenach wouldn't be welcome at such an important event," Claire says. (And, really, that's not a far-fetched assumption for her to make.) But Mrs. Fitz insists she's an honored guest, and like the tartan-clad fairy godmother that she is, she dresses Claire for the big night.
Now, if you've been waiting for author Diana Gabaldon's cameo, here it is! And what a sassy turn it is as Iona MacTavish. Mrs. Fitz passes her on the mezzanine, and they have this wonderfully catty exchange:
MacTavish: "I see you have the place looking as bright as a new pin."
Fitz: "Oh, that lovely dress again. You wore it so well to the last Gathering."
Point: Fitz.
As the ceremony begins, Dougal is the first to step up and pledge his oath to Colum, with the rest of the MacKenzie men lined up behind him. Save for one noticeable absence: Jamie.
Claire uses the "you've seen one you've seen them all" excuse to dismiss herself, but Murtaugh follows. He begs her to stay until he "bags a lass for the evening." All class, that one. Claire takes a swig from a flask hidden inside her dress, offering it to her escort (and clandestinely spitting out the contents as he downs nearly all of the proffered port). "'Tis very strong," he muses. Little does he know Claire's secret recipe includes a sedative. (Better than a laxative!)

Maine portion of Appalachian Trail challenges hikers
CARRABASSETT VALLEY (WGME) -- It is a huge undertaking, and it's something only a select few people have successfully done. Thousands of hikers attempt the whole 2,000 miles of the Appalachian Trail. They run into a few challenges along the way.
The trail is just one beautiful mile after another, stretching all the way from Georgia to Maine. About 2 to 3 million people hike a portion of the Appalachian Trail every year, some take the challenge and attempt the 6 month, 2,000 mile journey from Springer Mountain in the south To Mount Katahdin in the north.
"I love the challenge I love the beauty of it. I love waking up and living like a hermit and seeing new things every day," said southbound through hiker Jenica Ferguson.
While thousands attempt the entire trail every year, only about 14,000 have completed it.
"It's a little tough starting in the north because it's actually the hardest part of the whole trail," said southbound through hiker Sarah Dunleavy.
Maine's 281 miles are known to be the most difficult of all 14 states. Even the strongest hikers may average only one mile an hour in Maine, with roots, tree limbs and large boulders scattered throughout the route. Maine Wardens advise hikers to keep to the trail, which is marked by a white blaze. In the past two years Maine Wardens have responded to 22 search and rescue calls along the Appalachian Trail for injured or missing hikers. Many are located within a few hours.
"93% of people are located in some fashion, either by themselves or us or another civilian within 12 hours. then within 24 hours 97% are located. So you're talking 3% of longer than 24 hours to locate," said Lt. Kevin Adam of the Maine Warden Service.
Currently Geraldine Largay is the only missing person Maine wardens haven't been able to locate in the past two years. She was hiking on her own.
"A lot of them are alone, so they need to have those safety plans," said Adam.
Hikers can prepare for their trips with guide books, and GPS tracking devices can let family members know where they are on the trail. They can even send an SOS signal if hikers get lost or in trouble. Maine wardens also say sign the trail logs. That helps them know where you were and what your hiking pace is.

V Playlist: Havoc, Game, Naledge, Nipsey Hussle, Mikkey Halsted x Pusha T
VIBE's Daily Additions to the 'Pod
1. Havoc - "Separated (Real From The Fake)"
Still sucks that shit is going down they way it is between Mobb Deep. Whether or not this is aimed at Prodigy, all future projects just won't be the same until they get their issues straightened out. All things aside however, this isn't a bad song at all. It has that NYC hip-hop grit.
2. Game – "Amen (Remix)"
This freestyle is ok, but Game need to focus more on some substantial original material. It's been too long. Better yet, at least decide whether or not you want to get married.
3. Naledge – D.O.P.E. (Danger Over Paper Out East)
Some goodness coming out the underground. This beat is super grimey, topped off with equally dope bars.
4. Nipsey Hussle – "Tell Me What You Want"
Shoutout to Nipsey for coming through on this with the 90s nostalgic steez. The only problem we have with this is that it's too short! Mase & the girls of Total are somewhere doing a slow head bop to this.
5. Mikkey Halsted (feat. Pusha T) – "Momma In My Ear"
While the beat doesn't do too much on the production end, it leaves ample space for both MC to shine with their lyricism. With that, they don't disappoint.

It's not often a coach asks his most valuable player on defense to shift to full-time quarterback.
That's precisely what Oak Lawn coach Sean Lucas has asked of linebacker Joe Cosenza after the Spartans starting quarterback from 2013, rising junior Konrad Lach, transferred to Stagg.
Cosenza, a senior, played quarterback in eighth grade for St. Gerald School. So he does have familiarity with the position. Once he arrived at Oak Lawn, though, he was shifted to defense.
"Joe's a great athlete and has a high football IQ," Lucas said. "He had a very good summer. I told him maybe we should have kept him at quarterback his freshman year."
Cosenza has been a difference-maker on defense. However, desperate times call for desperate measures. Cosenza agreed to make the switch to quarterback without hesitation.
He's confident in his abilities, having led the St. Gerald Giants to an 8-1 conference championship season in 2010. He's diligently been working on fine-tuning his footwork and passing skills.
"I'll play anywhere to help the team win," Cosenza said. "It's been hard making the switch, but I'm learning. The biggest challenge is reading the defense. It helps that I play linebacker. I missed playing quarterback. It's exciting."
Cosenza and the rest of the Spartans hope that excitement transitions to games. Oak Lawn finished 2-7 in 2013. Three of those losses were by a combined 18 points: 28-26 to Argo, 22-20 to Eisenhower and 20-6 to Reavis. A bounce here or there and the Spartans could have finished 5-4.
"We missed some key blocks and some key tackles," Cosenza said. "We've been working hard to eliminate those mistakes. We're going to win those close games this year."
While Cosenza will be a key cog in the Spartans offense, he won't entirely abandon his linebacker responsibilities.
"I'm going to have to take a breather on defense sometimes," he said. "Maybe sit out on third downs or something. We're still working on that."
The Spartans return five starters on offense, led by linemen Mitchell Gonsch, Mustafa Kanan and Joe Quigley.
Cosenza has a top-notch receiving target in Joe Robinson, a three-year varsity starter. Tyler Loehr, Alec McCarthy and Ryne Melnik provide depth at receiver.
A big key to the Spartans offensive attack is how well senior Darius Gipson responds to being the go-to guy out of the backfield.
"Darius has worked really hard," Lucas said. "He's ready to be the guy."
Defensively, the Spartans welcome back five starters. Robinson, like Cosenza, will log double duty and play defensive back. Vince Olejniczak (line), Joe Dodaro (linebacker) and Scott Quinn (secondary) provide the Spartans with muscle and experience.
"We're excited about this senior class," Lucas said. "It was a very productive summer. We're going to come out and try to beat Kenwood in our season opener and take it week to week. Ultimately, we want to make the playoffs."
Cosenza has endured three straight seasons of finishing 2-7, including his freshman year on the sophomore squad. He's confident he'll end his prep career on a winning note.
"We will definitely turn it around this year," he said.

To Mr. Miller and his mother, I am overjoyed to hear from you! Thank you so much for replying about this. I would really like to send you some of the information I have- as well as some of our theories- and see if it sounds familiar to you. Hopefully within the next week I can get something sent to you by e-mail, if that's alright with you. Definately, I would be interested in seeing a copy of the picture of the Mr and Mrs Cornelius Clear family. If somehow I could pay for a copy, that would be a really nice thing to have. Speaking of Cornelius, one of my hunches is that Sarah Clear had a brother named Cornelius, which is why she chose to name one of her sons that. I keep on coming across two men named Cornelius: both were born in Darke County Ohio, but the dates are more than 20 years apart. The one was born about a year from Sarah, in the same county, so I suspect they are siblings. The other, obviously, is Sarah's son. But does it sound at all familiar that Sarah might have had a brother named Cornelius? Anyhow, I hope to e-mail you soon, within the next week or two, and see what else we can figure out. Thank you for replying! Sincerely, Katy Clear Notify Administrator about this message?
