Exclusive: Michael E. Knight Guest Stars on Drop Dead Diva
Michael E. Knight | Photo Credits: Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images
Our long national nightmare is over — Michael E. Knight is back on TV! The three-time Emmy winner, best known for his multi-decade run as Tad Martin on All My Children, has landed a juicy guest gig on the July 14 episode of Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva (airing Sundays, 9/8c). He'll play Charles Van Horn, a lawsuit-happy curmudgeon who is representing himself in a court case involving his dog's unplanned pregnancy. TV Guide Magazine had a chat with Knight to score some scoop on his role and, of course, to get his thoughts on the AMC Internet reboot. Will he ever return to Pine Valley?
TV Guide Magazine: This guest shot sounds like a hoot! Are you moving into Clint Eastwood-Grand Torino territory?
Knight: Yeah! My character is totally one of those, "Hey, you kids, get off my lawn!" kind of guys. He's the ultimate a--hole neighbor who is suing for $250,000 because somebody's Rottweiler impregnated his Maltese. He's a lawyer in a loveless marriage, a real s.o.b. whose only thrill in life is suing people. I got to cross-examine a witness for the first time in my career, which was the coolest. [Laughs] I've always wanted to do that! I had a ball because it's all played for comedy. Now that I know I've got an a--hole lawyer in me, I want to see if there's a corrupt politician in there, too.
TV Guide Magazine: Are you a Drop Dead Diva fan?
Knight: I love the show! And what a terrific group of people! The whole time I was grinning from ear to ear. I first had a meeting with [executive producer-creator] Josh Berman who was just fantastic. If all my meetings were that nice, I would die of sheer happiness. And it went on from there — the cast and crew were awesome and working in Peachtree, Georgia, was a trip. That show is such a beautifully oiled machine. They actually had an incredible craft service table which was a shock after my last few years in soaps where, if you were lucky, they'd throw a stale donut at you. [Laughs] After you work in a bubble for 30 years, you forget what else is out there! It all seemed to be very blessed, a God-given gift. I'm so proud to be a little part of Drop Dead Diva history.
TV Guide Magazine: Speaking of history, we gotta talk All My Children. Have you been watching?
Knight: Yes, and I'm just thrilled for those guys. I'm so happy it's now being run by Ginger Smith and that Agnes Nixon is back where she belongs. I wish them all the best. I've not seen a lot, but what I've seen I have loved. Debbi Morgan [Angie] and Darnell Williams [Jesse] are as amazing as ever. I love seeing Thorsten Kaye [Zach]. I really like the new Pete [Robert Scott Wilson]. I'm just so happy to see the show back in the hands of people who want to see it work, people who really care about it. I'm also very happy for the fans, who have been so patient and so damn loyal. I'm praying the show finds its niche, not just for everyone who works on it and loves it, but for the TV industry in general. Let's face it, internet programming is the future and that's where a lot of our favorite shows will wind up. But the person I'm happiest for is Aggie. This is her child, her legacy. AMC has so much of her heart in it and she's still fighting to make sure it has a place in this world. She so deserves success with this. No one in this business has affected my life as much as Agnes Nixon. I owe her everything. And God bless Prospect Park for having the balls to make this happen. This is pioneering stuff and they're figuring everything out as they go along. So I hope everyone will be patient. Give it time!

Marquette needs rally to defeat Chaminade
Associated Press
Rivals.com College Basketball
LAHAINA, Hawaii — Many people in the Lahaina Civic Center may have been thinking of a game played almost 25 years ago, but not the players on the court.
Jerel McNeal scored eight of his 22 points in a late 11-2 run that let No. 11 Marquette hold off upset-minded Chaminade 74-63 on Monday in the opening round of the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
Chaminade, the Division II host of this eight-team tournament, was able to get within three points in the second half, immediately bringing to mind the Silverswords' shocking upset of Virginia on Dec. 23, 1982.
But McNeal keyed the deciding run with a tip-in of a missed free throw and three baskets on the break to let the Golden Eagles get some breathing room and avoid the upset.
"When you're on the court, you're just playing basketball regardless of who the opponent is," McNeal said. "It didn't matter that we're ranked and they're Division II, all you can think about is the next play and how it's going to help you win."
The Golden Eagles (3-0) will face the winner of the LSU-Oklahoma State game in the semifinals on Tuesday.
Lazar Hayward added 15 points for Marquette, which is making its first appearance on Maui, while Dominic James and David Cubillan both had 11.
McNeal finished 10-for-14 from the field.
Makro Kolaric had 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Silverswords (1-1), while Rodrick Johnson added 13 points.
Chaminade, then an NAIA school, beat top-ranked Virginia and three-time national player of the year Ralph Sampson almost 25 years ago in what is considered by many the biggest upset in college basketball history.
This may not have shocked the world the way that result did, but it would have bettered all the upsets by mid-major teams early in this season.
"We were very fortunate to win. I hate to use the word lucky but I'm going to," Marquette coach Tom Crean said. "I wouldn't call it a wake-up call. We just have to do a better job of what we should be doing."
The Silverswords got within three points for the third time in the second half when Johnson's turnaround jumper with 6:46 left made it 58-55. That's when McNeal took over with his athleticism.
He tipped in the miss of a free throw by Hayward to start the big run, then came up with some acrobatics to close it out.
He converted a lob pass from Cubillan on one fast break, then went in alone on another for a dunk. Hayward closed the run with a rebound basket that made it 69-57 with 3:21 to go.
The thoughts of a big upset were gone as the Silverswords never got closer than 10 points the rest of the way.
"We hit a couple of bumps there and they were able to come up with the ball and it led to a couple of dunks," Chaminade coach Matt Mahar said. "I think they looked up at the clock and decided it was time to turn up the pressure. They're super athletic."
McNeal said it wasn't just him in the deciding run.
"We knew there was going to be a stretch when our defense and intensity picked up," the junior guard said. "It wasn't just me. Somebody is going to get those baskets when we play like that and it just happened to be me."
Marquette led 39-30 at halftime but Chaminade opened the second half with a 6-0 run to get within three points.
The loss dropped Chaminade's record in the tournament to 4-64, with its last win a first-round victory over an undermanned Villanova in 2003.
"This loss is over and we have to prepare for the next two games," Mahar said.
Chaminade switched defenses throughout the game, using quite a bit of zone in the second half when several of their players encountered foul trouble.
"We were prepared for that," Crean said of the defenses. "We have to keep reversing the ball and get to the offensive boards."

If there's one indisputable truth in life, it's that men and women are very different. And nowhere is this truer than when it comes to health.
Beyond the obvious physical differences, women have unique nutritional needs—and the hormonal changes that occur at menopause can have a significant impact on a woman's health profile.
Unfortunately, conventional medicine often fails to take these differences into account. That's why I developed a multivitamin formula specifically for women. It includes the necessary vitamin and mineral levels to support strong bones and urinary, breast, hormone, and metabolic health. Learn more about it below.

The City of Morganton is now offering a free payment option to residents who prefer to pay City utility, cable and tax bills online. The City has contracted with Point & Pay to provide online bill payment services and the new system went live July 1.
Residents can pay online with an e-check at no charge. Point & Pay does charge a fee for residents who want to pay online or by phone with a credit card.
"We are excited to be able to offer customers the option to pay online without having to pay an extra fee," said City Finance Director Karen Duncan. "We think the free e-check option will be very popular. Of course, Point & Pay's credit card fees are also lower which benefits customers who choose to use a credit card."
Point & Pay charges a 2.6% fee with a minimum charge of $1.50 to pay online with a credit card. Customers can use Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. There is no fee for customers who pay online with an e-check.
In March, the Morganton City Council voted to switch from its old online payments provider to Point & Pay. Point & Pay offered the lowest fees of several online payments vendors evaluated by Duncan.
Utility customer and residents can review their utility account information and pay bills online by visiting the City website at www.ci.morganton.nc.us and clicking the "Pay Bills Online / My Utilities" link at the top right of the page. The link takes customers to the City of Morganton Payment Portal.
Once at the Payment Portal, customers must register and then add their utility accounts. After adding an account, customers can view account information including billing history, usage details and balance history, and pay their bill online.

Linking to a November 2012 article at the progressive Media Matters, blogger Eric Boehlert appeared to minimize the furor over the Benghazi terror attack that killed four Americans by issuing tweets recalling that more people died in embassy attacks under President Reagan than Obama, Twitchy reported Thursday.
"In less than 18 mos under Reagan, 320+ people were killed by terrorist attacks on the U.S. Embassy in/around Beirut," he tweeted.
"In less than 18 mos under Reagan, 270 Americans were killed by terror attacks on the U.S. Embassy in/around Beirut," he added.
"[A]nd aft third terror attack on U.S. Embassy in/around Beirut, Reagan refused to curtail his campaign for even 1 day," Boehlert said in a third tweet.
"You can't criticize the Obama administration over Benghazi and worship Reagan, see?" Twitchy said.
But there are a number of differences between the two attacks, as conservatives on Twitter pointed out.
"He didn't jail an innocent YouTube user to save his political bacon," one person tweeted, referring to Nakoula Nakoula, the man believed to be behind the online video that was blamed for the Benghazi attack.
Another Twitter user said the Beirut attack was a car bomb, not a sustained firefight.
Several pointed out that Reagan did not deflect blame for the attack, nor did he try to cover it up in the aftermath.
"There's nothing sane or rational about the right-wing's Benghazi fantasy and the role they have assigned for the president," Boehlert wrote in 2012. "But it does allow the conservative press to project their deepest fears up against the passions of the campaign season's final push."
A 2008 USA Today article said the bombing still haunts Stephen Russell, the Marine who served as the sergeant of the guard that Sunday morning who said he could still see the face of the man driving the truck laden with explosives.
"The truck," USA Today said, "would shatter the Marines' building with a bomb more powerful than 12,000 pounds of TNT — the biggest non-nuclear explosion since World War II, the FBI concluded."
''I think we should all recognize that these deeds make so evident the bestial nature of those who would assume power, if they could have their way and drive us out of that area,'' Reagan said. ''We must be more determined than ever that they cannot take over that vital and strategic area of the earth or, for that matter, any other part of the earth.''
Obama's response to the Benghazi attack, however, was quite different.
"Here's what I'll say. If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal," he told Jon Stewart, sparking outrage from conservatives. "We're going to fix it," he added. "All of it. And what happens, during the course of a presidency, is that the government is a big operation and any given time something screws up."
Recent testimony, however, would seem to indicate the problems have not been fixed.

I am thinking about quitting my job and staying at home with our first baby. I am nervous about not having enough money going towards savings.
After all our bills are paid and we have used a little money for fun, we will be putting $700 to $1000 a month into our savings account for unexpected bills, emergencies, etc.
How much do you put in savings every month? Do you think $700-$1000 is plenty for savings for a family with one income??
BTW: I plan to go back to work in 5 years or so and I have a bachelor's degree.

I just opened my own salon suite a couple months ago and now I'm needing inexpensive marketing ideas. The marketing that I've done so far are my own post card mail-outs, I've joined every social website to get my name out there, I made cute favor bags that included coupons and cookies in the shapes of scissors, a hair brush and a blow dryer and brought them to local businesses and I'm going to go to the local community college and put flyers up there. I've also made referral cards for my current clients to give out.
I feel like I'm out of marketing ideas and could really use some help please!!!
Thank you in advance,
Shelby, .Do you know about SCORE. SCORE is FREE both in person and on line.
SCORE and I can help you with both business and a marketing ideas.
My two favorite ideas are:
Pick a charity to sponsor and then find someone from your local newspaper
to write an article about you and the charity. With the holidays coming up,
that should be easy.
Support a local team (football, baseball in the spring, soccer) and all the
Boys and girls will be wearing your business name on their shirts.
Good luck and all the best in this coming holiday season.
Hi Shelby,
Do you have a website? What is the link?
I set up an appointment with SCORE next week. Thank you! And thank you Chris for liking my FB page!
Congrats on your new business. So it is better to advertise your product or services locally. However, this campaign makes use of the Internet as the promotion medium and there are great chances of people within a city or locality searching for a product or service and finding it, because search engines are now where people go to look for local businesses, not the Yellow Pages.
Having a good local search marketing campaign will allow a business to rise to the top of search engine results with correct and relevant keywords. With the combination of keyword research, social media networking, positive and widespread reviews businesses can get ahead of their competitors.
All the best for your business.
Join your local chamber of commerce. You will meet many supportive local business owners.
There are many ways to get your business known in your community. Another suggestion would be to create some discount coupons and distribute them to local businesses. They can either give them to employees or provide them as complimentary gifts to customers. This is a great way to advertise and generate new business. You will be surprised at how many coupons you get back!
All suggestions are great. Since I own a text marketing company, I am always thinking of ways of using the new tools to build brand awareness, loyalty and communicate with their customers and potential customers.
When I think of utilizing the text marketing with discount coupons I would give them a reason to want to join my "salonVIP" club. An example text "salonVIP" to 71441 and receive a complimintary nail polish. See if a local business wants to partner with you on the text marketing platform and do some cross promotions.
Most important is knowing your target market, how are you going to deliver your message and what platforms are you going to use to get your message out.
Seeing as its about prom season, run a facebook contest for a free Prom make over...maybe partner with someone who does make up.
I have had a lot of success with facebook contests driving traffit to a business.
I agree with you, David. Proms are always a big thing for teens and their parents. Running a Prom Special - hair, nails, make-up, etc. would catch a lot of attention and hopefully bring some business in (both returning and new).
And summer is coming. People will be thinking of hair cuts for their family. Consider a Summer Special or Vacation Special.
You can always give some sort of discount to your customers who send in new customers.
These should give you more/increased visibility in your community - good luck!
Shelby, I suggest considering picking and offering a 1 time free service on a limited basis, once per person.
As an example, devote maybe a couple of hours per week to offering some free service which gets clients in the door. The purpose is to establish a long term consistant customer base. The main benefit and goal is you get that person into your shop. If they like your work, they will keep coming back.
Since your business is extremely personalized, if a customer likes you, you may have that customer for a long time. So often, the reason it is hard to get new customers in is not because people don't like you enough or don't want to try you. It is just because they are in a routine and daily habit to use certain existing business they are in a routine of using, and seeking out new businesses to try is low on their priority list. The details of this idea need to be carefully considered of course, but if done right, this can really jump start your customer base.
Think of it this way. If a local women's club offered you to come in and show them a sample of your services, would you do it? Probably so because the payoff is you are hoping to build a customer base. Hey that potentially another idea.
If they are getting some service in your Salon for free, wow that is a draw. Maybe try it on a limited basis and see what happens.
Good Luck.
Another suggestion will at least promote goodwill if not a great local news story. Contact a nursing home or senior citizen center in your area and offer your services one day a month at a very reasonable rate. The mature adults would probably enjoy and appreciate the attention and your services, of course. Let the nursing home/center know the hours you would be willing to offer them and then see how it goes. If you are allowed, take photos and give to the adults. You would leave each month with a happy heart, knowing you have made some people very happy. And you never know, word just might spread about your benevolent spirit and bring in some new customers!
Shelby Marie, why don't you post and let us know how things are going for you and your business? We are always happy to hear success stories and are willing to jump in and offer suggestions if they are still needed and wanted.
Hi Shelby,
I was reading your post regarding Marketing, may I ask what type of Salon Suite do you have or offer?
I would suggest taking your salon out onto the street one day. Why dont you host a neighborhood competition where people come with pictures of celebrities and you mimic the hairstyle. If you cant give them the hairstyle it's free of charge. If you can, they pay. Take down details of people entering the competition so you can compile a mailing list. Just a thought. Good luck
Hi Shelby,
A friend of mine has owned a successful hair salon for 20 years. I can hardly get an appointment.
Some things that she has done in the past....
Senior Discount day-Take a flyer to the local nursing homes
College Student Discount-Take your flyer to all of the college campuses in your area (maybe give snacks to starving college students..lol)
Bring a friend discount day- First one full price/2nd one half off
24 hour Blitz-My firnd and one of the girls in the salon booked appointments for weird times for 24 hours straight. The local radio station heard about it from a client calling in and the DJ called her shop to ask them if they were crazy...lol.. It was weird but a very successful night for her.
In looking at your website your prices are very reasonable.
Maybe offer a 1/2 off color day on say a Monday or a Tuesday.
Frequent patron cards- Visit 5 times and your 6th time is half off
The key is something is better than nothing.
You want to get people in so that they will love your service and keep coming back.
Lastly, try offering your services to an OutReach service, maybe InterAct or Girls Club for girls/women that may not be able to afford your services. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. Good Luck to you!
Congrats on your business. Social media is the thing these days as I'm sure you're aware of. I got some really good suggestions from http://www.businessformationgroup.org. Even though they seem to be more for loans and grants for startups, I was able to use their resources for my online dog business in order to make it grow.
Good luck!

Knoxville (WVLT) - A FLASH FLOOD WARNING is in effect for Cocke County until 6:30 p.m. In addition to this warning we are experiencing pop-up storms and unstable weather throughout the East Tennessee area.
At 3:24 p.m. EDT, a ham radio operator reported flash flooding from a thunderstorm near Newport moving northeast at 15 mph. Water is reported moving into First National Bank in Newport.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small creeks, streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.
Low lying places that normally flood could become death traps. If you rome to a flooded or closed road...turn around! Don't drown! This is a life threatening situation.
Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the road. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice, turn around, don't drown!

It was like the set of a black and white starlet filled movie (it made perfect sense that Sofia Coppola sat front row)—only this show was in color and these starlets were made of model proportions. There was a little bit of roaring '20s, some '30s-esque old-Hollywood glamour and a few feminine '40s silhouettes. John Jannuzzi and I were trying to pinpoint which decade she was aiming for and we decided upon an average of the three. It's not quite how it works and we're both bad at math, but it somehow makes sense here. The best of these decades were represented in a vaguely patriotic way. While models waited to walk, a light projected stars and stripes on them. Headpieces were punctuated with some chic summer pieces we'd really want to wear—like printed blouses and tight knee-length skirts.
You can always count on this show being a good time and setting a very specific mood; in this case a trip back to a few chic moments in American history. Anna represents serious fashion but doesn't take herself too seriously. We like that.

LSU to change evacuation plan following bomb threat
BATON ROUGE - LSU plans to study and change certain procedures in order to evacuate the campus more efficiently in the future.
Last month, the entire campus was evacuated due to a bomb threat. It resulted in traffic james which kept thousands of students sitting still for some time as they tried to leave the campus.
University police identified a number of critical intersections that were gridlocked, including Highland Road at Chimes, State Street and Aster, all of which caused major delays.
"We're trying identify some of the areas that we could have improved on to get traffic out faster," LSU Police Capt. Cory Lalonde said.
Police said having officers at each intersection isn't necessarily the answer, and plain and simple, LSU doesn't have enough officers to make that happen. In the future, LSUPD plans to use an evacuation map similar to traffic flow after a home football game, but without contraflow.
In the days after the threat, many students wanted a better evacuation map including contraflow off of campus, but without hundreds of police officers controlling traffic like on gameday, that isn't an option.
"In a situation like a bomb threat or major evacuation, there would be issues with the child care center on campus and the lab school on campus. People would need to get on campus. Parents would need to pick up their kids," Lalonde said.
During an emergency similar to last month's bomb threat, the alert system has the capability to freeze computers on campus and only display a screen saver with the emergency message.
Last month, not all of the computers were activated of set up for such technology.
But LSU is testing the system making sure it works on all monitors and television screens in The Union, all computer labs, Middleton Library, professor work stations in classrooms and in their offices.
This does not work over a WIFI network, so students connected to the Internet while in class or on campus wouldn't get the emergency message.
And that message was limited to 140 characters. The university has increased the output to 160 characters, but the speed in which it gets out doesn't change.
More than 31,000 people subscribe to LSU's Emergency Alert System.

by Kyle Kirves for Longmont Council of the Arts
It's easy for the mind's eye to conjure an image of a child, legs akimbo, head down, gazing intently at an open book. Maybe the level of exactitude in the details varies, some highly realistic, others as if seen through a slightly distorted piece of glass. Dreamlike and fluid, this single moment is worthy of capturing on canvas.
And if Julie Petro were to paint that mind's image, it might be called Self-portrait as a Young Girl.
Petro, an artist working in paint and residing in south Longmont, has gravitated to the impressionist school of art since she was a child. "I remember seeing John Singer Sargent's Fumée de Amber Gris in one of my mother's art books when I was really young," she says. "And that picture just kind of stayed there. The details of how he painted her hands. How her face — barely visible under the hood — was rendered with what seemed to be just a few perfectly placed brush strokes. It's a fascinating study of a person, especially since every detail isn't clearly defined."
Indeed, that early exposure manifests itself in Petro's own work, culled from the traditions of the impressionism. Citing that genre's ability to evoke energy and movement, Petro enjoys creating work that communicates a mood, personality, and fluidity via its focus on subjects captured in motion, or in a moment, rather than "details" in the strictest sense.
"It's an invitation," Petro says. "The person who looks at one of my paintings is invited in. You're invited to slow things down, read into that moment and find perhaps even find things that maybe aren't readily apparent."
That principle of moments makes Petro very open in terms of subject matter as well, finding inspiration in any number of sources. "I might be drawn to something as simple as a color in any given scene. Or a shape. Or edges or texture. And sometimes it's an observed moment in a life. A snapshot of sorts."
Snapshots play a key role in Petro's technique, too. She frequently carries a camera to capture moments from everyday life. Then, with these pictures in hand, she goes through an exercise of creating thumbnail sketches, playing and modifying the content and composition until the balance seems right and the "story" is there. She considers the angles of light and how that affects the image as a whole. Only then does she work up the idea as a compositional and value study on canvas and then scale up to the new piece. It's a practice that has brought her much success and that she places her faith in.
Petro says, "There's no substitute for good preparation. Laying the groundwork, putting the foundation down and building a solid structure is invaluable. It can take up a majority of the time spent on a painting." Then, half-laughing, "Proper preparation before the paint comes out is key. It doesn't matter whether you're painting a canvas or your kitchen. Once the prep work is solid, the painting sort of paints itself."
Her gallery of work is substantial, impressive, and varied. Beautiful painted flowers, commissioned portraiture, and smaller scale still-lifes find homes within her portfolio of work. But it is her magnificent paintings of dancers that perhaps best showcase her ability to render grace and movement frozen in a single instant, or as the artist herself calls it, "a moment of quiet concentration." All of it, though, is of a piece and is easily recognized as a Julie Petro.
Jerry's Artarama is pleased to feature Julie's impressive self portrait Reflections on 40 on our new Back 2 School Sale Catalog! For more information on Julie Petro and her lovely, impressionistic paintings, please visit http://www.juliepetro.com/.
Ampersand's collection of unprimed wood panels, the Natural Wood Panel™, Unprimed Basswood™ and Hardbord™ are excellent substrates for all types of oil primers and acrylic gesso grounds. When properly sealed, a wood panel is a better painting substrate than canvas because it is not as subject to expansion and contraction as it absorbs moisture. Here are some basic guidelines and tips for properly preparing our unprimed wood panels for use with oil painting grounds and acrylic gesso. For best results, always consult the directions provided with the product you are using in addition to the information provided here.
Instructions for priming with oil painting grounds:
Gamblin® Oil Painting Ground is our first choice in a good quality oil primer. However, these instructions are virtually interchangeable with a number of other oil painting grounds if there's one you like better or have more readily available. Gamblin® Oil Painting Ground contains an alkyd resin vehicle that allows it to dry within a matter of hours. A number of other pre-made oil primers are also available and generally, they are made up of a white pigment, linseed oil and driers or solvents. Primers that use alkyd resin binder instead of linseed oil dry faster and are non-yellowing and more flexible than traditional grounds. Both may be applied in the same manner with either a large putty knife or a large stiff bristle brush. If you are using a traditional oil primer, it may need to be thinned with Gamsol® to a workable consistency enabling easy application over the sized panel. Never add oil to a primer! Its leanness must always be preserved.
STEP 1 - Size and Seal the WoodA size is a thin solution (often a weak glue) that is brushed directly onto a support. Sizing or sealing is recommended to protect Ampersand's uncoated panels from any harmful oil absorption from the linseed oils used in some primers and oil paints. If wood is not sized or sealed properly before applying the oil painting ground, it can slowly disintegrate over time depending on the type of ground you are using. In fact, it is extremely important to properly seal any and all un-primed wood substrates to prevent support-induced discoloration that can cause your paint film to yellow over time. Hardbord™ is manufactured using Aspen fibers, a wood with a very low acid content, but still needs to be sized and sealed. The Natural Wood Panel™ and Unprimed Basswood panels are made with a thick basswood plywood top that has been sanded ultra-smooth. They are both seamless and knot-free and provide a perfectly smooth and uniform painting finish. When you apply the size and primer to the basswood surface, you won't experience the raised wood grain fibers that can happen with some other rougher types of plywood; the surface stays nice and smooth. The basswood panels have solid wood cradles and braces that may be more susceptible to moisture and environmental changes than the birch plywood cradles we use on the Hardbord™. Therefore, Ampersand recommends that you prime both the front and back of the Basswood top to ensure long-term stability of the panel. The best products we have found to seal wood are Golden® GAC100 [2 coats] and Gamblin® PVA Size [4 coats]
Apply Golden® GAC100 directly to the basswood or hardboard surface with a 2" paintbrush or putty knife. Apply to the front and back if applicable. Allow the GAC100 to dry completely and follow with an additional coat. Do not sand between layers. Before applying oil primer or the painting ground, allow the GAC100 to dry for 1-3 days so that the sealer can coalesce into a uniform film for maximum protection. If you're using Gamblin® PVA Size, use 4 coats and follow the same application instructions as for the GAC100.
STEP 2 - Prepare and Protect the CradleAmpersand Hardbord™ is available in either a flat 1/8" panel, with a 3/4" cradle, or with the 2" DEEP cradle. The Ampersand Natural Wood and Ampersand Unprimed Basswood panels are available in both a 7/8" cradle and 1.5" cradle profile. You have the choice of painting all the way around the cradle or leaving the natural wood showing for framing purposes. Be sure to size and seal the bare wood if you want to paint completely around the edges of the cradle. Or, to protect the wood from paint and primer, cover the sides of the panel with painter's tape up to the edge of the surface. Do not remove the tape until the painting is finished. Painter's tape does not leave a sticky residue like many household masking tapes that can be difficult to remove, and will leave a pristine surface underneath when the painting is complete. For more instructions on different ways to prepare your cradles for presentation, click here.
STEP 3 - Apply the Oil Painting Ground or PrimerBegin by mixing small amounts of Gamsol® with the primer to thin if necessary. You can test the right consistency by picking up the paint with a knife and shaking it gently. If it falls from the knife like soft butter, it is ready to use. When priming with a putty knife (or wedge tool), begin by placing a portion of the oil painting ground or primer in the center of the (already sized) panel. Spread it in one direction, and then in the opposite, and finally in a diagonal direction. Clean the putty knife and run it over the ground to smooth and even out the surface. Also, prime the edges of the panel and the cradles if applicable. Don't forget to apply GAC100 on the cradle edges first if priming them for painting. Allow the front of the basswood to dry completely, then, prime the reverse side.
When the first coat of oil painting ground is completely dry (about 7 hours), lightly sand the surface with a sanding block using light grade 400/grit sandpaper. A second coat can be applied the next day or any time after the first coat is dry. If using basswood, for each additional coat to the panel face, apply the same number of applications to the panel back.
If priming with a brush, use a large bristle brush, at least 2"-3" wide (proportionate to the size panel you are using), and apply the ground or primer with quick alternating strokes, working it well into the surface. After evenly distributing the ground or primer over the entire surface, finish by going over it lightly with a clean brush, carefully in straight lines, or use a short-nap [cotton] roller. Let the first coat dry, then sand and apply a second coat. At least two coats of ground or primer should be applied. The more coats of ground or primer that are applied, the smoother the surface will become. For basswood panels, follow the same instructions, but also prime the back. For each additional coat to the panel face, apply the same number of applications to the panel back.
STEP 4 - To FinishEliminate any unevenness on the finished primed surface by lightly sanding the panel after it has thoroughly dried. The finished primed panels should be allowed to dry completely at room temperature before painting. If you prepare several panels at a time, then you will have stock on hand that is dry and ready to paint when needed.
Materials List:
Instructions for priming with acrylic gesso:
Golden® Acrylic Gesso is our first recommendation. However, these instructions are virtually interchangeable with a number of other brands if there's one you like better or have more readily available. Gesso is a flexible liquid ground that seals, protects, and gives "tooth" to wood panels, which promotes good paint adhesion. It comes ready-to-use, but can be mixed with water for thinner applications. Golden® Gesso is available in Black or White, and can be mixed with acrylics to produce a range of colored grounds. Gesso can be applied with a brush, roller, putty knife, or sprayed on. Dilution of the gesso is only necessary for spray application, but may be desired for brush or roller applications as well. When diluting with water, use a maximum dilution of 25%. Any mixture within this range offers little risk of cracking or other adverse effects.
STEP 1 - Size and Seal the WoodFollow the same directions as listed in Step 1 above for priming with oil ground. The sizing process is the same in both cases.
STEP 2 - Prepare and Protect the CradleAs before, either seal and prime any cradle edges for painting, or mask off with painter's tape
STEP 3 - How to Apply the Acrylic GessoThin the gesso with up to 25% water for the first coat so that it will flow more evenly on the (already sized) panel. Use a 2"-3" brush for the first coat and a foam roller for subsequent coats. Begin by working the gesso back and forth with the brush in one direction and then in a cross direction with a little pressure so that the gesso penetrates the panel better. Apply gesso to the side edges of the panel and the plywood cradle if applicable. Don't forget to seal the cradle with Golden® GAC100 first if you are going to gesso the edges for painting. The basswood panels have solid wood cradles and braces that may be more susceptible to moisture and environmental changes than the birch plywood cradles we use on the Hardbord™. Therefore, Ampersand recommends that you gesso both the front and back of the basswood top to ensure long-term stability of the panel. Allow the front of the basswood to dry completely, then gesso the reverse side.
STEP 4 - To FinishAfter the first coat of gesso is dry, smooth out any rough spots with light grade sandpaper. Apply a second coat of gesso with the foam roller (or brush). Allow it to dry and then sand again. For best results, apply a minimum of 2 coats of gesso and sand in between. Subsequent layers of gesso will produce an even smoother painting surface. For spray application, you may have to apply more than 2 coats to achieve a film similar to a brush application. For basswood panels, follow the same instructions, but also prime the back. For each additional coat to the panel face, apply the same number of applications to the panel back.

Featuring LUKAS 1862 Artists' Oil Colors
I recently had the opportunity to try out the LUKAS 1862 Professional Oil Paints and chose to take them for a "test drive" on one of my portrait commissions. I was extremely pleased with how the paint handled and the effects that I was able to achieve as a result of using them.
Learn More About LUKAS paints
From the moment that I opened up the first tube, I could see the high standard of quality that goes into the making of each color. The generous pigment content produced beautiful, bright colors straight out of the tube, allowing for a wide range of flesh tones and grays that can be mixed when painting portraits. There were a couple of noticeable differences that I found when using LUKAS 1862 as compared to other well-known brands. The first is that the LUKAS brand has a slightly more fluid consistency than the others that I have used over the years, allowing for some beautiful wet into wet transitions and soft edges that can be made during the painting process.
The other distinguishing quality was the actual drying time of the paint itself. As with other brands of oil paint, some colors may take up to a week or so to dry to the touch, but the LUKAS brand paint set up in just a matter of days, allowing me to continue working on top of these previous layers. This was very helpful in the refining stages of the portrait. I often use my fingers when softening certain areas of a face and it's important to be sure that you're not removing paint when working this way, so the previous, quick drying stage worked to my advantage in this situation.
This portrait of Will was painted on Claessens #13 SP linen using LUKAS 1862 oil paint.
With LUKAS 1862 Oil Colors, you will find the high quality and consistency that you would expect when using a professional grade oil paint, but at nearly half the cost of other major brands. I would highly recommend LUKAS 1862 to other artists who are looking for a top quality product at an economical price.

I was thinking about switching over to cloth diapers for my second child, but as I read all this new info, I'm feeling more than overwhelmed. I'm confused about the whole thing.
I have so many questions and I don't haave the time to read through evreything between work and a two year old at home. I will only be home with the new baby a few weeks before returning to work, however the discussion was already made with my caregiver about using cloth and she is totally fine with it. But I have stupid questions I need answered before I make a final about cloth.
Do I rinse the poopy diaper out before throwing it in the wash? Do I need special detergent? Special sprays? I have to wash the diapers through mulitple loads? Special diaper rash creams? It sounds more expensive and more time consuming than anything.

Browns confirm head coach Rob Chudzinski has been fired
• • •
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has not been fired, team sources said on Sunday.
The club is evaluating all parts of the organization after a 4-12 season, capped by Sunday's 20-7 loss to Pittsburgh.
While no decisions have been made, a change is possible after a very poor second half of the season.
If the Browns did fire Chudzinski after one season, New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels would be very high on any wish list, as he has long been viewed highly by members of that organization. Detroit head coach Jim Schwartz, if he is fired as many in the league believe he will be, would also likely warrant consideration for a Browns opening.

I have the need to send an email to a list of admins as a response to a command sent from the UI. The admins that need to be notified are retrieved from a query against the read model.
At the moment - from my understanding as it stands I only have one option: gather the required admins before sending the command and add them (name/email pair) to the command.
Or - is it acceptable to cross from the command handler to the read model? It doesn't feel right but I don't really see any other way of doing this?

If you find that your water bill is on the rise, you should check your toilet to make sure you don't have a leak. One way to easily check for a leak is to place food coloring in the water in your tank. If you see the color drip into the bowl without flushing, you may have a leak. Replacing your toilet flapper to ensure a tight seal can usually fix this problem.

Samsung posts Q1 2015 results, finally looking hopeful
It's that time of year again when companies are handing out their report cards for the first quarter of the year. Considering how Samsung has been having a bit of trouble in that subject, it is interesting to see how well it fared this time around. Although it's not out of the woods yet, the good news for Sammy's fans is that the company's earnings are finally showing some positive numbers and the future looks a little less bleak. But it's not all because of the Galaxy S6.

Nasonex For Sale
Posted on Tuesday, December 13th, 2011 by Mike Jarvinen Print This Post
Categories - Featured, SEM, Social Media
I just got back from Nasonex For Sale, Media Post's Search Insider Summit in Park City, Utah where 110 leaders in the search space congregated for some drinks, skiing and in-depth search discussion. Moderating a roundtable on the impact that social is having on search, online buying Nasonex hcl, Effects of Nasonex, I wanted to share three takeaways from a very lively and interesting discussion:
1. Social is difficult to classify. Here are the responses when asked the "best answer" for each of the participants:
- Survey Responses:
- 31% - To me, social is about being there, order Nasonex from mexican pharmacy, Nasonex for sale, being a part of the discussion
- 38% - To me, social is a media exercise, Nasonex price, coupon, Where can i buy Nasonex online, but a top of the funnel media exercise
- 31% - To me, social's best value is increasing engagement of direct response channels
- 0% - To me, Nasonex natural, Australia, uk, us, usa, social is a direct response channel
2. Active moderation is the key to growing sustainable Social:
- You want to gain new fans only as fast as your moderation supports them
- Anecdotal stat: 95% of fan posts go answered in Facebook – a big opportunity
- Building a compelling Facebook app along with the request for permission it entails allows a community manager to get more detailed data on fans and engage in customer reactivation activities
- Breaking out statistics around "new customers" and "lifetime value" are the key to successfully valuing social
3. Areas of thinking:
- Social is often split between organizational departments – paid DR, brand, buy cheap Nasonex no rx, Nasonex used for, community/communications. Cross-communication is key but how is it best facilitated in divergent orgs?
- Paid ads perform better when pushing to internal Facebook pages, but they then exist for fan acquisition – how can activation exercises like sweepstakes and coupons move fans into CRM activity?
- Bob Evans is using social to build around focused keywords like "farmhouse feast" that have low CPCs in search – how can brands use search to build keyword ownership in low cost keywords and measure together with social?
- Advertisers have used focused Facebook pages like "Black Friday Sales" to build fan base and increase likes around specific concepts for later value – how can brands leverage this idea?
- Trueview ads on YouTube and pushing to a YouTube brand channel set up for remarketing can show a funnel with buying efficiencies right now (30 second views at $.21 in one example + remarketing data) – are more advertisers going to push into video?
- ZMOT introduces a way of thinking consistent with the panel note of "social as a research buy." How can marketers best allocate budget for the important but difficult-to-measure research stage of the funnel?

Picture: Keira Knightley O2 Wireless Festival 2007 - Day 3 Live performance in Hyde Park London, England - 16.06.07
Hollywood beauty Keira Knightley prefers men to be rugged and manly - because she is bored with all the pretty boy Hollywood actors.
The KING ARTHUR star is particularly smitten by screen hunks GEORGE CLOONEY and Brad Pitt, and she would love to star alongside them one day.
The 19-year-old says, "Brad Pitt, I think, has grown into a manly man - and you've got George Clooney, who's really manly."
But Knightley's ideal mate is Enigma actor MATTHEW MacFADYEN - the most manly man she has ever met.
Describing her Pride And Prejudice co-star, she says, "It was great working with him because he's one of the few manly men.
"He's not a pretty boy - he's a man. It was such a lovely experience because Matthew is so romantic as MR DARCY."
Knightley has been dating Irish model Jamie Dornan for a year (begs04).28/01/2005 14:09

When you wish good for others,
good things come to you.
This is the law of nature.
When you wish good
When you wish good for others,
When you wish good for others,
good things come to you.
This is the law of nature.
Genius is eternal patience.
Every Heart has a Pain.
Only the way of Expressing is Different.
Fools hide it in Eyes,
While Brilliant hide it in their Smile.
Nobody can go back and a new beginning
But anyone can start today and make a new ending.
Those who walk with God,
Always reach their destination.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness,
Only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate,
Only love can do that.
If you are stressed, you'll get pimples..
if you cry, you'll get wrinkles..
why don't you smile and get dimples ? 😉
Good thought,
My doors
Will be
Always open foreven those
Who have hurt me.
But may be,
They have lost their
Beautiful position on which
They have once Ruled.
Flowers blossom even in jungles when
there is no one to admire their beauty,
Lets continue our good work honestly
even when nobody is watching us.
Health is the greatest gift.!
Contentment the greatest wealth.!
And faithfulness the best relationship!
Good Things
come to those who Believe
Better Things
come to those who Patient
and the
Best Things
come to those who Don't Give UP.
Sometimes People are BEAUTIFUL
not in looks , not in what they say
Never Ever Forget, Even for a
Moment,How Truly Amazing,YOU ARE
