Creating an illustration which will grab attention and sum up a story is never easy. Andrew Loomis set out to help with this fantastic book showing how to use tone, line and color to develop good pictures which can be used in many ways.
He discusses how psychology can help to understand and create the picture, as well as providing an analysis of a range of advertisements, posters and book jackets. His resultant book has become a classic and has now been reprinted for a new generation of illustrators.
Hundreds of drawings are included, showing how different aspects of tint and color are achieved, as well as the final versions. This is a very useful reprint which will be much valued by anyone wanting to make a career in illustration.
Although written back in the 1940's, it still offers plenty of inspiration and technical details that will be of value to modern artists. Given that most art schools no longer teach drawing, this book can provide the help that many artists need.

Yankees Pick Up Options on Granderson and Cano
(NEW YORK) -- The New York Yankees have exercised their options on second baseman Robinson Cano and outfielder Curtis Granderson for next season.
Both players will be paid $15 million next season. If they don't sign long-term deals with the team, they could become free agents.
The 30-year-old Cano hit .313, with 33 home runs and 93 RBIs last season.
Granderson, 31, hit .232, with 106 RBIs and tied for the second most home runs in baseball with 43 last season.

Theodore Conyngham Kingsmill Moore
Theodore Conyngham Kingsmill Moore (1893 – 21 January 1979) was an Irish judge, politician and author.
T. C. Kingsmill Moore was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Dublin.[1] While he was Auditor of the College Historical Society, W.B. Yeats spoke at the Inaugural Meeting of his Session. Moore served in the Royal Flying Corps from 1917–18, and was called to the Irish Bar in 1918, to the Inner Bar in 1934, and became a bencher of King's Inns in 1941.[1]
Also an author of highly regarded books on fly fishing,[1][2] Kingsmill Moore was elected for the University of Dublin constituency as an Independent member of Seanad Éireann for the 4th Seanad from 1943 to 1944 and to the 5th Seanad from 1944 to 1948. He resigned from the Seanad in 1947 on his appointment as a judge of the High Court.[3]
He was a judge of the Irish High Court from 1947 to 1951[3] and of the Supreme Court of Ireland from 1951 to 1966.[4]
A Kingsmill Moore Memorial Prize is given to students of Law at Trinity College, Dublin scoring the highest marks of the first and second divisions.[5]

How to tell if he is being sincere?
My boyfriend fell off the face of the earth. I didn't hear from him for 3 weeks even when I tried contacting him. I figured we broke up and started... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Time for a long talk. Sit down before and write down all the things you mean to say and then meet with him. See if he will talk to you about it. If he won't/can't tell him it's a no-go situation. If he will talk see if he is credible. How young is this guy? Doesn't sound very considerate.
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
What Girls Said 2
If it was a day or two maybe that's fine. More than that I'd be suspicious. Three weeks, I most likely wouldn't trust him unless a family member died or something, but even still I'd think he'd contact you. That would definitely ruin my trust. Three weeks is a VERY long time, but of course he will apologize, it sounds like he's playing games

Cleaning Mold off Brick Sidewalk
What can I use to clean the greenish-black mold off my antique brick sidewalk? The bricks are laid on a bed of sand, and there is grass pretty close. I'm worried that a chlorox solution would bleach those antique bricks. Would a vinegar solution work if I am very careful to not allow it to run off into the grass or my flower beds? What has worked for you?
Try a drop of Clorox on a hidden brick and see what happens. We used bleach on saltillo tile (basically an unfired brick that absorbs moisture like a sponge). We tried sealing them and it didn't work. We moved and promised ourselves to never use saltillo for anything ever again. There are too many ceramic and porcelain tiles that look as good or better than saltillo anyway.
Whay are they moldy? Are the bricks wet all the time? Mold will grow on anything that is wet all the time. You're not watering every day are???

Indications are the Titans have either talked with or plan to talk with the agents for running back Jackie Battle, wide receivers Damian Williams and Marc Mariani, return man Leon Washington and offensive lineman Chris Spencer as well.
"A lot of those guys have had a positive impact on our team, so we're going to try and keep as many of those guys as we can," (Ruston) Webster said.

Then inspired by a little internet research we decided to take a trip from our home in upstate New York to Rockport Massachusetts to a shop called Tuscan Designs.
Dreams do come true! My wife's were right there in beautiful colors and graceful designs of such a variety it was almost impossible to make our choice. How special the place and chance to bring the design of Tuscany to our home."

Superfans create a low-budget remake of the new 'Star Wars' trailer
When the Force fails you, use cardboard and glue.
Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise that consists of a film series created by George Lucas. The film series has spawned a media franchise outside the film series called the Expanded Universe including books, television series, computer and video games, and comic books. These supplements to the film trilogies have resulted in significant development of the series' fictional universe. These media kept the franchise active in the interim between the film trilogies. The franchise portrays a universe which is in a galaxy that is described as far, far away. It commonly portrays Jedi as a representation of good, in conflict with the Sith, their evil counterpart. Their weapon of choice, the lightsaber, is commonly recognized in popular culture. The fictional universe also contains many themes, especially influences of philosophy and religion.
The first film in the series was originally released on May 25, 1977, under the title Star Wars, by 20th Century Fox, and became a...

Tesoro Sues County
By Rick Brough
The Tesoro Pipeline Company has filed a federal lawsuit against Summit County, seeking to nullify the ordinances the county passed in June, attempting to regulate pipeline construction.
The lawsuit filed this week claims the county's new laws intend to impede or prevent Tesoro's proposed pipeline, and it says the ordinances are preempted by federal regulations. Rick Brough has more.

besides the fact that doc/COPYING.html and doc/INSTALL.html are empty in the 0.10.6 tarball (the packager should either update txt2html >=2.25 or remove the unknown option --bold_delimiter), the README and thus doc/README.html is out of date:
- it states the obex* command for * in {ls,cp,md,rd,rm} but it is checked for {ls,get,put,mv,rm}, thus 60%(!) are wrong.
- it references bfb_keysim and bfb_eeprom but they are not present
- the manpage references an non-existent EXAMPLES section
- the manpage references gObexFtp and vfs-obexftp that are not part of the package (and who cares for those when reading the manpage?)
Additonally, it does not quite make sense to create doc/INSTALL.html or install the INSTALL file with a "make install".
Eduardo Perez Ureta
Maybe if you make a patch it would be easier for the packager.
Christian W. Zuckschwerdt
Most of the documentation has moved to a wiki and there is no longer a htmlification in the releases.
The obex{ls,cp,...} commands will work if you call the main app by such a name (using symlinks). The default install target won't do that for you.

How Post reporter uncovered Second Injury Fund scandal.
An obscure state workers' compensation fund had become a gold mine for a few insiders. An exclusive club of lawyers and doctors had learned how to milk a system known as Missouri's Second Injury Fund.
Their trails led to the doorstep of the state attorney general, William L. Webster, the Republican candidate for governor.
That was the situation that developed in Missouri between 1988 and 1992, when the fund scandal began to unfold. Now a year and a half after the first stories appeared, eight men--six lawyers and two doctors--have pleaded guilty to various federal charges. One other lawyer is facing trial.
This report deals with how the St. Louis Post-Dispatch exposed Missouri's fund scandal and how the Missouri experience may be applied in other parts of the country. There are indications that variations of what happened in Missouri may be going on in other states.
Forty-nine states (Wyoming is the exception), the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have some form of second injury funds, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Their mechanics--such as financing, coverage and who handles the money--vary from state to state.
In Missouri, the Second Injury Fund existed in the seldom-covered backwaters of state government. It was a system that distributed $30 million in one year via a method cloaked in secrecy. Politics played a role. Webster appointed private lawyers as special assistant state attorneys general responsible for defending the fund.
The Second Injury Fund is supposed to supplement workers' compensation benefits for on-the-job injuries. If a person has a job injury, the employer's insurance company pays a benefit for that disability. But if the disability created by the job-related injury is aggravated or compounded by a prior injury or disability, the state's Second Injury Fund pays a supplemental benefit.
These programs were set up during and after World War II to encourage employers to hire wounded veterans. But in Missouri over the decades, the philosophy broadened to include all kinds of previous disabilities and injuries. Before the scandal unfolded, some claims were being paid simply because the injured claimant had been overweight.
In Missouri, businesses finance the Second Injury Fund with a special three percent surcharge on the premiums they pay for workers' compensation coverage.
Lawyers specializing in workers' compensation cases filed claims against the fund on behalf of injured workers. Defending the fund against these claims were the special assistant state attorneys general appointed by Webster. Because thousands of claims were filed each year and because the expense of litigation often exceeded the value of the claims, 95 percent of the claims were settled by the lawyers involved.
The Post-Dispatch first looked at the fund in September 1988. The reason: unusually large contributions were flowing to Attorney General Webster's campaign for reelection from a small group of St. Louis lawyers filling claims against the fund.
Soliciting the contributions was William E. Roussin Jr., one of Webster's appointees assigned to defend the fund. This first story only matched campaign contributions with the names of lawyers filing claims against the fund.
A more extensive, computer-aided inquiry began in January 1992. Payments from the fund had grown dramatically, from $3.5 million in 1984 when Webster took office, to more than $30.7 million in 1991. There were rumors that attorneys fared better filing claims against the fund if they gave campaign contributions to Webster, who was a candidate for governor.
To investigate, the Post-Dispatch requested Second Injury Fund settlement documents from the state Division of Workers' Compensation. After some resistance by the state attorney general's office, a computer tape containing 11,647 cases was made available.
The information on the tape included the name of the lawyer representing the claimant, the name of the lawyer defending the fund, the date of the injury claim, the date of the settlement and the amount of the settlement. For privacy reasons, the name of the injured claimant was deleted. George Landau of the Post-Dispatch staff analyzed the information and compared it with another database assembled by the newspaper from Webster's campaign finance disclosure reports.
The analysis showed:
* Lawyers who contributed to Webster obtained substantially larger settlements from the fund for their clients than those lawyers who did not contribute. Larger settlements meant larger fees, since the lawyers' compensation was always 25 percent of the settlement amount.
* Lawyers appointed by Webster to defend the fund and who also filed claims against the fund did even better. The state paid Roussin's law firm $708,778 to defend the fund against claims over a two-year-period. The same firm filed 171 cases against the fund between 1988 and 1992, obtaining awards of $2.6 million and receiving legal fees of $660,927.
It might have ended there except that the data-analysis story, published in April 1992, touched a raw nerve among a group of lawyers in St. Louis. They had observed unusual fund settlements and favoritism to certain lawyers. They also had information about how some fund defense lawyers signed other lawyers' names to settlement documents. They knew about specific claims with problems. They knew about bills. Requesting anonymity (one said he feared for his safety because of the amounts of money involved) they told their stories.
Their tips led a reporter to specific insiders' claims filed with the state Division of Workers' Compensation. The stories that developed from these tips included:
* How workers' comp attorney Morris B. Kessler, Webster's largest individual campaign contributor, obtained $65,000 in settlements for himself for a fall in his office and for hurting his shoulder while closing a file cabinet drawer. At the time the story was published, May 1992, Kessler had a third claim pending for overexertion while carrying a briefcase.
* How the wife of Administrative Law Judge Erio Comici got $30,000 for her "panic attacks."
* How Alex Shreim, a doctor who rated workers' compensation cases for Kessler, filed a claim of his own for falling on his buttocks while hanging curtains in his doctor's office.
Developing the stories on cases of specific injuries was impeded at first by the Division of Workers' Compensation's position that its records were closed by law. We persuaded the division to modify its approach, opening records as long as an individual claimant could not be identified by name. If a reporter could identify a case in any other way than by name--such as the date when the case was filed--a copy of the file was made available with the claimant's name and other identifying data removed. Thus, if a source could supply a date that the case was filed, a reporter could assemble almost all the facts involved with that claim.
Confirming the name of the claimant involved another agency of government. In each closed case file there was a record of the state payment of the settlement amount, accompanied by a check number. By going to the state treasurer's office and supplying the check number, a reporter discovered copies of the state checks to Kessler and the other insiders.
The stories about the specific claims abuses prompted other people to come forward with information about other problems. One source directed a reporter to the bills lawyers filed with the state to defend the fund. A reporter took three months' worth of bills filed by fund defense lawyer Forris D. Elliott. After the reporter entered the bills into a computer database, Landau used the FoxPro program to separate the billings by day of the month and type of work performed.
His analysis showed how Elliott sometimes claimed to work more hours than existed in a day. A federal grand jury later indicted Elliott on one count of conspiracy and seven counts of defrauding the fund by submitting inflated bills. Elliott is awaiting trial.
Others are on their way to prison. Roussin, Kessler, Shreim and three others have pleaded guilty to federal charges of defrauding the fund. Roussin and Kessler both pleaded guilty to federal charges that they conspired to use the fund to raise campaign contributions for Webster. They testified against Webster, who lost the race for governor, the Second Injury Fund being a major issue against him in his campaign.
Webster was sentenced to two years imprisonment after pleading guilty to other federal charges of conspiracy and misappropriation of state funds.

Raptors, DeMar DeRozan reach terms on $40 million extension
Oct 31, 2012, 7:56 PM EDT
The Raptors are rebuilding. Trying to figure out who is part of their future.
DeMar DeRozan is now locked in as a part of it.
At a bigger price that many expected, much likely more than he would have gotten on the open market.
The Raptors and DeRozan agreed to a four-year, $40 million extension to his rookie contract, reports Adrian Wojnarowski at Yahoo Sports.
DeRozan, the No. 9 pick in the 2009 draft, is very athletic and can play — he gave Toronto 16.7 points and 3.3 rebounds a game last season. But he doesn't do it very efficiently — he shot 42.2 percent overall last season and 26 percent from three, which is less than ideal for a wing player. He had a below average PER of 12.8. He can finish around the rim and is solid when he gets in the paint, but outside 10 feet his shooting falls off according to Hoopdata — he took 5.5 shots from 16 feet out to the arc last season and shot just 35 percent on them.
While he's strong when he can use his athleticism — such as in transition and on cuts to the rim, he scores more than 1.2 points per possession those ways (according to Synergy Sports) — he is average or worse when spotting up of working off screens. Which he does a lot more of than shooting in transition.
All of which is to say, $10 million a year is a lot to pay someone and if they get that kind of money you expect better production, better efficiency.
If the Raptors had not worked out this deal with him, it would have been interesting to see what the market would have been for DeRozan as a restricted free agent next summer. I get why he took the deal, he 's making more this way than he likely would have if the market set his price. I'm just not sold on this deal for Toronto.
- jmclarkent - Oct 31, 2012 at 8:16 PM
They WAY overpaid for DD. He has improved his shot since entering the league, but that growth was from "terrible" to "below average".
10 mill per shows me that the Raptors are falling for the old "solid scorer on a team with limited options" rouse.
- Gordon - Oct 31, 2012 at 9:26 PM
Desperate teams overpay guys all the time. Just look at Houston.
- rocirius - Oct 31, 2012 at 11:47 PM
He is not nearly as good as Courtney Lee who signed for about half that amount. Signing players like DeRozan, Harden and Gordon to such huge contracts is the reason these teams will struggle. It doesn't help them create teams that can compete, plus it limits their financial ability to compete for elite players.
I'm impressed that the Milwaukee Bucks were able to say no to extending Jennings. They need to find a team to trade him to so they can invest their money elsewhere.
- rickyspanish - Oct 31, 2012 at 11:52 PM
The CBA can't protect teams from their own GM. Bad decisions tend to sink teams as much as poor salary structures.
- badintent - Nov 1, 2012 at 12:00 AM
I get stuck watching this team 40 games a year on the west coast, since they last made the playoffs , their management and coaching staff has been a mess. They had one decent coach Sam Mitchell, who was Coach of the Year, and he got canned for insisting that the players work hard at defense, they complained to management and he was fired. They always draft soft European players that throw up long jumpers at crunch time( sound familiar Melo ? ) and won't play in the paint or draft undersized guys like Ed Davis and Johnson. They choke and lose in the last 2 minutes of so many games they had leads , poor coaching.Like tonight for example, Been doing this for the last 6-7 years The more things change, the more they stay the same in Rapland.
- badintent - Nov 2, 2012 at 2:01 AM
Hey Raptors fans, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.!
- bougin89 - Nov 1, 2012 at 12:50 PM
This is just bad. If you can't get DeRozan for cheaper than this then you let him walk. 4 years and 30 million would be overpaying.

Stephen PatchanProfessional of the YearPublic Sector
Nick JacksonProfessional of the YearPrivate Sector
James WilsonProfessional of the YearNon-Profit Sector
Adonia LugoYoung Professional of the Year
The vision, leadership and effective advocacy work of James Wilson, Executive Director of Bike Delaware, pays off, in funding, state status and messaging. In the last year, the Walkable Bikeable Delaware campaign helped win $6.3 million in dedicated discretionary funding for cycling and walking in Delaware. Delaware advanced from 5th place (2013) to 4th place (2014) in the League of American Bicyclists' Bicycle Friendly State rankings (up from 31st in 2010). James also argued successfully that the Delaware Department of Transportation could stop using the MUTCD-approved, but confusing and ambiguous, "Share the Road" sign in favor of "Bicycle May Use Full Lane".
Adonia Elena Lugo, Ph.D., is the Equity Initiative Manager with the League of American Bicyclists. Dr. Lugo is an impassioned community organizer who makes "invisible cyclists" visible to the bicycle planning world. As a cultural anthropologist, Adonia recognizes diversity in bicycle cultures and draws out techniques to include more communities in active transportation. Her ethnographic research includes interviews with community leaders of color about bicycling for the Seattle Bike Justice Project. She co-founded CicLAvia and Ciudad de Luces in Los Angeles to empower more street users, and especially working-class Latino immigrants, to get involved in bike advocacy and planning.

Types of pottery
wackyweederApril 14, 2013
This question has been bugging me for a while so I did some ed-u-ma-cation this morning. The link is to a nice little article that describes the difference between ceramic, earthenware, stoneware.
I know some people say they use pottery outdoors in freezing areas with no problems. I now wonder if they have been using stoneware, which is a step up in durability and has less porosity than regular pottery. Just thought it was interesting.
Here is a link that might be useful: Types of ceramic

I'm really happy that I went for the offer and bought the Zen bedrooms memory foam mattress.
I have very bad M.E and being comfortable especially in my bed, as I have to spend so much time in it is hugely important.
I'm sleeping a lot better and feel a lot more supported. The places where I'm usually in a lot of pain are much more comfortable. I don't wake up as stiff, I feel far more rested.
I know as time goes on its only going to be more comfortable.
My mum has seen the positive effect and wants one for herself!!

From the Publisher
"A Jamaica-born, US-based scholar of English, African-American, and Caribbean literature, Roberts examines representations of colonial and afrocentric spiritual relationships and practices in Brodber's fiction. She is particularly interested in her use of afro-diasporic religious beliefs and practices in the Caribbean, and her examination of how these values oppose colonial presumptions and social norms. She also wants to establish Brodber's importance as a member of the first generation of college educated diaspora descendants and radical intellectual workers during the 1960s."
Reference & Research Book News
"Jamaican novelist, anthropologist, historian, and sociologist Erna Brodber became a prominent West Indian writer during the second half of the 20th century. Her Afro-centric works emphasize the importance of ancestral spirituality and aesthetics, connecting to a vital cultural past. This first full-length study of Brodber includes several chapters of pertinent background material, then detailed analyses of three of Brodner's novels: Jane and Louisa Will Soon Come Home, Myal, and Louisiana. Discussing such elements as allegory, irony, feminism, and syncretism, Roberts places Brodber within the context of the wider Caribbean and the Americas through comparisons with other writers, notably Zora Neale Hurston, Marcus Garvey, and W. E. B. Du Bois….Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty."

Sears GDO works but overhead lighting won't
rastapupAugust 8, 2007
Though the GDO functions fine, the trip sensor no longer turns on the lights. I tried replacing what i thought were dead bulbs but...no go. One of the just replaced sensors has an amber light. Realign? or replace?
Thank you. Doing what you suggested and finding the manual in my highly efficient filing system gave me a few more ideas that finally worked. It seems that some of the new energy efficient light bulbs have a non standard base that will thread into the sockets but never make contact.

I applied online. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Classified Ventures in June 2010.Interview Details
They telephone portion of the interview was two-part, once to be screened by HR and the second by the IT Director, the hiring manager. There was a general tech screening in the call and again by the direct reports in the later interview. The day of the interview was a bit disorganized, with people unsure of when and where they were interviewing and with one member of the panel calling in sick but then still showing up at the end. All parties were indicating that it was a good fit and that they wanted to schedule a second interview, but was called after the weekend and told that they were no longer interested. Very disappointing, and no explanation as to the abrupt change because the hiring manager was out of town.Interview Questions

Drivers & Drama Dominated Linux Talk In July
Published on 31 July 2014 09:24 PM EDT

6 Comments
With the end of July comes our monthly recap about the most popular events and tests that took place on Phoronix.
This month on Phoronix there were 213 published news items and 15 published featured-length articles. This is a drop compared to usual with most months seeing myself writing more than 300 news articles and at least 30 multi-page, featured articles. However, at the end of June I moved from Chicago to Indiana and am still in the process of setting up my new office, which is why this month has been lighter than normal but still a healthy amount of content. Motivation and burn out also remain problems with the excessive number of those blocking ads on the site that I've invested in for over the past ten years.
Expect the counts to pick back up in August when the new office is hopefully back to being fully operation compared to currently just having a few computers sprawled about rather than 20+ systems live. Once the back-office is fully operation, it will pick up even greater due to my new home office being multiple times larger and with greater electrical capacity for being able to handle more in terms of automated
test farms, etc.

Ubuntu With Linux 3.16 Smashes OS X 10.9.4 On The MacBook Air
As it's been some months since last running any Linux vs. Mac OS X performance benchmarks, up today are benchmarks of the latest OS X 10.9.4 release on a Haswell-based Apple MacBook Air compared to running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on the same hardware with also upgrading against the Linux 3.16 development kernel.
Intel Pentium G3258 On Linux
Up for review today on Phoronix is the Pentium G3258, the new processor Intel put out in celebration of their Pentium brand turning 20 years old. This new Pentium G3258 processor costs under $100 USD and comes unlocked for offering quite a bit overclocking potential while this Pentium CPU can be used by current Intel 8 and 9 Series Chipsets. Here's our first benchmarks of the Intel Pentium G3258 using Ubuntu Linux.
Preview: Benchmarking CentOS 7.0 & Scientific Linux 7.0
CentOS 7.0 was released this week and that came just days after the first alpha of Scientific Linux 7, both of which are based upon last month's release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. With these new community-based EL7 releases coming about, it's time for some fresh Enterprise Linux benchmarking and performance monitoring on Phoronix.
Linux 3.16 File-System Tests On A Hard Drive
In complementing the earlier Linux 3.16 file-system tests on an SSD (and the later Btrfs testing), here are benchmarks of EXT4, XFS, and Btrfs from the Linux 3.15 and 3.16 kernels being compared from a traditional rotating hard drive.
Testing Btrfs On The Linux 3.16 Kernel
When running my initial Linux 3.16 file-system tests on an SSD I had to skip over Btrfs due to initial problems with the experimental kernel code. Fortunately, Btrfs has been fixed-up in Linux 3.16 and can now serve for some benchmarking.
X.Org Server 1.16 Officially Released With Terrific Features

4 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Manufacturing Resource Interview
I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at PepsiCo in August 2011.
I only got as far as a phone interview with the company (as I lost interest upon being told it was for the night shift). Very typical phone interview that included discussing your education and past employment. Be prepared to give detailed information of what you did for former employers. I believe this is very important in their interview. After discussing education and past employment they will discuss scenario questions with you. Below are some of the questions I was asked.
Asked scenario question such as:
Describe a time that you overcame conflict in a team situation.
Describe a successful event in a team situation.
- Give an example of overcoming conflict in a team situation. Answer Question

Best way to clean sticky mud from paws?
Below is a message I posted to the garden forums about a problem with sticky mud on my dogs' feet. I would like to add a question for the pets forum: What is the most efficient, non-toxic and non-irritating way to clean sticky, clay-like mud off a dog's feet? Is there anything better than just a spray attachment on the hose (which always ends up getting my shoes and pants as well as their feet)?
At this point it appears we will be doing this several times a day!
We've just moved into a temporary rental with our three medium to large dogs. We're blessed with a big backyard, but the yard is completely unplanted, and the soil here is claylike and very sticky. Every time the dogs come in, there's a layer of this muddy clay (it's raining these days) stuck to their feet which proceeds to come off on the kitchen floor. I noticed the same sticky mud problem with my shoes when I walked in the yard even in dry weather, before our rental began. Why did we rent it, then? In this area, when you have dogs, you jump on any available rental.
Keeping the dogs outside is not an option, but the constant mopping is already getting to me and is not even keeping on top of the problem. Is there any fast-growing grass or ground cover I could plant that might alleviate this problem? It's November and we only expect to be here through March, so it would have to be something that grows in the winter, and fast enough to offer some benefit. Our Zone 9 winters have little to no freeze and the backyard gets a lot of sun. We could go buy rolls of grass if they are available at this time of year, but I imagine that would be very expensive. The yard is probably 6000 square feet.
I feel so fortunate to have this rental, but dealing with the sticky mud is a serious challenge!
Boy, do I feel for you!
At my home, a small farm, when it is really bad mud season, I keep a bucket by the back door and dip each paw into the bucket and swish it around, before drying it off with a towel. Not ideal either ... but it works for me.
I don't have any idea what might grow in your area, we'll shortly have a good covering of snow which is much easier to deal with on paws than mud.
The only thing I can think of is landscape fabric ... but that's a mighty big yard and that could cost a lot.
I haven't tried to do that specifically, but I have sprayed down each individual paw (and myself, of course). I don't think a little dip would do it. It takes a direct spray to get the mud chunks off.
I would hate to confine them to just part of the yard when they love to run so much, but I may have to do something like that in self defense.
A bucket of water should work, I use that with my dogs if their feet get muddy or caked with snow on walks. You could keep a long handled brush in the bucket. I don't let my dogs run in the yard if it's wet or muddy as they could slip and hurt themselves.. but likely your dogs don't run as fast ;)
Contact your landlord and see if they'll either buy or allow you to buy some mulch. We just put some medium size Hemlock barkdust in DS's yard (two large dogs) and once it was in place and wetted down, their dogs could run thru it and not track in anything. The Hemlock is considered sliver-free so you'll probably want that for your dogs.
In my area a unit (7 yards) cost $230....money well spent.
I live on a farm to and I walk the dogs every morning. If they have run thru a muddy/clay area I make them run thru the grass. That doesn't always work so I make them lie outside on the patio stones until the clay has dried and them I take it off by hand. Most of the time when it has dried the dogs pick it off themselves. Rosie is the worst because she is an Australian shepherd with long hairs on her feet.

Diablo Cody Teams With Fake Empire for Fox Teen Drama 'Prodigy'
The ABC Studios project marks the first time Fox and Josh Schwartz have teamed since "The O.C." premiered a decade ago.
Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's Fake Empire banner is back in business with Fox for a teen drama.
Oscar-winner Diablo Cody's Prodigy, which has received a script plus penalty commitment and hails from ABC Studios, marks the first time Fox and Fake Empire have teamed since The O.C. premiered a decade ago.
Cody (Juno) will write the script, which centers on a 16-year-old genius who through home schooling has been isolated from her peers. Hoping to experience a "normal" teen social life before she enters the adult world of academia, she enrolls in her local high school. Her experiment goes off the rails when she finds herself adopted by a wild crowd, getting caught up in a whirlwind of romance and crime.
Schwartz and Savage will executive produce the drama via their ABC Studios-based Fake Empire banner. This marks the fifth sale so far this development season. In the first year of their hefty overall deal with ABC Studios, the banner behind The CW's The Carrie Diaries and Hart of Dixie previously sold two dramas -- Rina Mimoun's Sisterland and Joshua Safran's Social Circle -- to ABC. Additionally, Fake Empire is pushing into comedy this season with two single-camera half-hours -- First Timers from Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger as well as an untitled project from The New Normal's Ali Alder -- which are also set up at ABC.
For Cody, Prodigy comes as she's prepping her TBS talk show pilot Me Time With Diablo Cody. On the feature side, the writer recently made her directorial debut with Mandate Pictures' Paradise, which she also penned. This marks Cody's latest small-screen venture following Showtime's United States of Tara. Last year, she developed comedy Alex + Amy for ABC.
Schwartz, Savage and Fake Empire are repped by WME; Cody is with WME, MXN Entertainment and McKuin Frankel.

We're talking about selling the van. This van. The van that takes soccer mom to a whole n'other level. I'm done getting 11 mpg. I've used it to move my oldest in and out and into college. The gas gauge is unreliable and the the drivers seat only adjusts if you scoot forward and right simultaneously. Also, I walk to work now and my 2 sons are or have recently acquired their driver's license. There's no way I will EVER GIVE THEM THE KEYS TO THIS PARTY ON WHEELS.
Most people sell and trade and buy cars without much thought. Not me. Not this time. As we prepare the van for resale I see it as the end of a parenting season. No more car seats, car pools and car-avans to games. Seasons are changing for the Tribe. And it smells like new leather seats.
In honor of the van I'm sharing the following post I wrote a few years ago. It's called
'I'm too Sexy for My Van'
Thanks for reading .....
In August 2007 I bought a 15 passenger van.
That's because in August 2004 the twins were born.
The Sikorski's went from 3 kids to 5.
We needed a bigger vehicle and it only took us 3 years scouring every used car lot in a 200 mile radius to find a suitable one.
It wasn't fancy.
It was white.
It didn't have any of the bells & whistles.
Just 4 benches.
It wasn't even a cool color.
Did I mention it was white?
But it was clean. It wasn't ancient. And I could afford it.
I signed all the papers and transfered all our toys, blankets, diaper bags, trash and car seats from the
old mini van to the new passenger van.
I thought the kids would be excited!
Now they could bring a friend along.
Now we had extra seat belts.
Everyone except me was thrilled. I still wasn't sure how I felt about the up-size.
I mean I actually felt demoted on so many levels.
I went from soccer-mom-in-a-mini-van (that CAN be cool, right?)
bus driver.
The van is just so ... white.
And big.
And plain.
It looks so ... so ...
Well lemme try and give you an idea:
We rolled into town in our new purchase.
Fresh wax job. Shiny tires.
And our friends noticed our new ride.
Some asked,
"I didn't know your church got a new van until I saw you driving this!"
"Gosh, is that thing longer that an ambulance?"
"I saw your van at the grocery store. Now I can always tell where the Sikorski's are!"
"Halee, either the assisted living van is here or it's your mom out front!".
Slightly humiliating, I'd say.

I hear that. I think I'm having trouble thinking its shenanigans generally when it's certainly not the case with Wheatley Jr., but reading "Smith is expected to choose between in-state Georgia and (of course) UCLA, with the Bruins the surprise favorite to land him ($)." just looks all sorts of bad.

|Jeff Daniels
So we didn't even have to tell him that Joshua Chamberlain (Jeff Daniels) lives a few miles outside of Ann Arbor, in Chelsea?
Or that on his way he can stop in Dexter at the grave of Jim Jeffords - a stop at the Wheatfield on the Gettysburg tour - died saving the company colors and was the highest ranking officer to die of bayonet wound.
Not to mention Custer & the Wolverines.
Choice makes sense. Maybe he already knew.

|If there's a way to qantify
If there's a way to qantify "resume" (best wins/worst losses), I'm thinking something like maybe kenpom, minus the two best wins & worst losses, weighting more for stats in the last 10 games (and even more for the last 5), with an increasing bias towards highers seeds after each round.
...and also, Michigan always wins.
