Okay, this is the best idea ever - you are the smartest!
I laughed at where you mentioned your planner was starting to stress you out ha! That's totally been happening to me lately... which is why this is such an AMAZING idea!
I've been using a sketch book and drawing out days like you showed, which has been helpful, but it's mainly been for ideas and post plans - i'm now inspired to embellish with more detail like you did :)
Thanks for the inspiration, girl!!

Hey Jess! So happy to be featuring you today over on our blog. :)
I'm an OCD organized neat freak. The method to our blogging madness is contained in a hardback notebook that we found at Target. Without it, I feel lost. We keep a monthly calendar spread out across a two-page spread. On that calendar, we write in our posts as they're scheduled to pub. "Tentative" posts are noted with a post-it note until it's a sure thing. We list out the videos that we want to film for each month and keep any notes for upcoming events, giveaways, etc. We also track our GFC followers, YouTube subscribers & Twitter followers on a weekly basis in here. In an age where everything is digital, our notebook is our way of keeping it old school. :)

I have just recently gotten to the point where I can get overwhelmed with my blogging organization! Keeping up with who I'm guest posting for and when- is my biggest issue, followed by keeping up with comments, and then visiting their blogs. At over 500, how do you do it? Do you reply to every comment, follow/comment on each person, and or do you mainly respond to the ones that need responses?

What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing! I've started following you on bloglovin so I can easily come across any other fantastic ideas you may share. I'm definitely going to use this. My problem is I schedule most of my posts as I don't have easy internet access at my house, so I have 1 or 2 days of intensive blogging a week and then don't do a lot in between, hopefully this will keep me active!!! Thanks so much.

This is such an amazing idea! I just started blogging less than a month ago and can already see how crazy and busy it can get!

Your blog is wonderful!!

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. (KSDK) - The body of a man who died in an accident at a Maryland Heights quarry was recovered after midnight, according to a spokesperson for Fred Weber, Inc. rock quarry.
Authorities said 61-year-old William Sievert of St. Peters was using a Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer when he was buried in a rock blasting accident.
Sievert was pronounced dead at the scene. He had worked for Fred Weber for 24 years.
Federal investigators were at the quarry Thursday morning to find out the cause of the accident.
The company has notified the Mine Safety and Health Administration and is in the process of conducting an investigation into the accident.
A spokesperson for Fred Weber released the following statement:
"This afternoon, a tragic accident at the Fred Weber North Quarry claimed the life of a long-time member of the Fred Weber family. The accident occurred during routine rock blasting operations at the site. Pattonville EMS responded quickly and they remain on the scene at this time.
"We are in the process of notifying the family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them. We are already in the process of conducting an investigation into this accident, and are interviewing others who were present at the time of the accident. We have also notified the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and will fully cooperate with their investigation.
"This is a sad day for all of us at Fred Weber, Inc.
"We will know more about the cause or causes of the accident as the investigation unfolds. For now, please keep all of those affected by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers."

My family liked it! It was easy & I will make it again.
This recipe is so easy to make for adults and the kids. I made up two dishes of dipping sauces: one was BBQ sauce and the other was ranch dressing, so the kids can pick and choose the sauce they want. The adults wrap up the chicken fingers and with a side of sauce. With a small bowl of mac & cheese, it was a big hit.
I just added a little bit of onion powder, garlic powder and chili powder, as other reviewers said this was a little bland. I also topped with some cheddar cheese. This was delicious and I will definitely make again!

First choice is cute, I'm not much for heels but I like all of the unique platforms in the post!
Confession: we love shoes. Okay, we know that such an admission isn't exactly breaking news, but the fact remains that we kinda sorta have an obsession with all things footwear. But, we also know you adore shoes as much as we do and as such, we don't feel terrible about our shoe hoarding tendencies. Oh, and something else we forgot to mention: we sometimes indulge in some light stalking. Fortunately, our stalking is all for style, hence today's post. Specifically, we clicked and searched and saved until we found all sorts of fashionable ladies, celebs and peons alike, who sported some seriously stylish shoes. So, take a look, get inspired, and make sure to show us how you rock your most fashionable kicks.
What was your favorite pair of shoes?
PS: One of our stylists kind offered us a few words of wisdom when she observed, "Chunky heel booties are huge for spring and will continue to be really popular for this year and into next." Then, in a fit of general awesomeness, she quickly pulled three booties she thinks you'll like. Thoughts?

Navajo Jewelry Origins
We have just completed a great new informational page on Navajo Jewelry Origins and invite you to view it – we think you will get a lot of great informative information from this presentation.
Navajo Jewelry began around 1865 when a Navajo Blacksmith by the name of Atsidi Sani learned how to work with Silver from the Spaniard that came up from Mexico in search for Silver and Gold. Navajo Jewelry with Turquoise began shortly after as the Navajo has been wearing Turquoise Beads as well as other Turquoise ornaments for hundreds of years. Navajo Jewelry origins are from the Southwestern United States in the present Arizona and New Mexico regions.
Shortly after Atsidi Sani learned how to make Silver Jewelry he found that it was admired by the Navajo people and the demand for his work was more than he could produce. Atsidi Sani taught several other Navajo's how to Silversmith and Navajo Jewelry took off. It was not long and the Indian Traders found that Native American Silver Jewelry was a good trade item and began making a brisk business in the Southwestern Silver business.
Navajo Jewelry
Early Navajo Jewelry was made with coin Silver that the Navajo's would get from the U.S.Calvary, Indian Traders and Trading Posts. The earliest of their Jewelry was made with primitive tools and this is called First Phase Navajo Jewelry – this Jewelry is valuable and very hard to come by. The second phase of Jewelry is when their Jewelry became commercialized by the Indian Traders, the Navajo's were now making Silver Jewelry for the marketplace. In the second phase, the Indian Traders helped the Natives with modern tools such as hammers, chizels and soon Silver slugs in leu of coin Silver. Second phase Navajo Jewelry is also valuable but is more common and much easier to find. The Turquoise Ring to the left is a late second phase period from about 1925.
Turquoise Navajo Jewelry
Navajo Turquoise Jewelry has been popular by Americans as well as other individuals throughout the world as it is some of the most unique Silver Jewelry in the world. Navajo Indian Jewelry is one of the most unique and notible items that we inherited from the great western American Frontier years and it is an important American Heritage of the United States of America.
View additional links related to Navajo Jewelry origins, Navajo Jewelry, Navajo Silver Jewelry and Navajo Turquoise Earrings.
The piece of Navajo Jewelry on the right is a classic old Navajo Turquoise Bracelet which was made about 1940. This is a very nice example of old Navajo Jewelry and is collectors quality Turquoise Jewelry.

Thanks for these articles, good reading. I'm a Civil War buff, but have not read much about Wheeling involvement. I too am confused with title of "the second anniversary of the US Civil War?

Percussion Sound Module
A.Yes, twin pedals can be used with the KD-8 Kick Trigger.
You must set up the pedals so that the left and right beaters strike at equal distances from the center of the KD-8's pad. If the beater distance is off, the sound of one pedal will be softer or may not sound correctly. Additionally, when using twin pedals, the KD-8 will be less sensitive than when using a single pedal. To compensate for this, you will need to increase the kick's trigger sensitivity in your sound module.

Bringing the News to Life
It is strange that we can talk about the death of journalism at a time when the ability to share information is at its highest ever, but it makes sense. Cable TV news channels can dispense information 24 hours a day, but according to the law of diminishing returns, less and less of this is quality journalism.
Information Overload
I could spend all of a rainy day at my computer reading articles that cover political, economic, and social realities/conflicts/happenings around the world, and in the end I might feel that I have only a passing understanding of any of them. The worst situation for a news junkie such as myself is that I read too much, leading to apathy as I find it hard to commit much thought to any one newsworthy event.
The Blur of Tragedy
A similar blurring of events is noted by Joe Sacco in his new book of comics journalism, Footnotes in Gaza. As Sacco tries to piece together accounts of two Gaza Strip killings in 1956, he finds that some of the Palestinians he interviews have lived through so many conflicts that their memories of a single day blur into those of events decades later. More often, the refugees he talks with feel he is wasting his time reporting on forgotten atrocities of the past, when so much is happening right now.
The Real People of the Gaza Strip
However, by investigating the killing of dozens (if not hundreds) of Palestinians in the towns of Khan Younis and Rafah, Sacco is able to give the reader some history and insight into the state of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict today. In nearly 400 pages of detailed black & white drawings, we are introduced to a variety of Gaza Strip residents and their stories, ranging from vengeful fedayeen to grief-stricken mothers who hurl insults at the militants who invite Israeli raids and home demolitions.
Journalistic Comic Value
To me, the great value in Joe Sacco's journalistic comics is that they bring the conflict and its participants to life. It is too easy to turn away from a story that speaks only of "Israeli Defense Forces" and "Palestinian militants," but it is harder to ignore the actual names, faces, personalities, and memories of those interviewed in this work. If you'd like to read more, you can find Footnotes in Gaza, as well as Sacco's earlier works, Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde, and The Fixer in our library system.

Harlem's Foodie Renaissance
by David Kaufman , 07/17/2013
(From left) Courtesy of Harlem Food Bar • Coffee Lenox, photo by Joe Buglewicz
Harlem has undergone a renaissance in recent years; new businesses have been setting up shop in the area, and the real estate market has been on an upswing—it's not unusual now for brownstones to sell for several million dollars. It was only a matter of time before enterprising restaurateurs discovered its charms and sought to bring their unique character and gastronomic obsessions to the neighborhood, making it an epicurean destination anew. Harlem's increasingly world-class culinary scene—with offerings including sushi, classic French food and farm-to-fork fare—serves as a barometer of that transformation. From historic Lenox Avenue in Harlem's heart to buzzy Frederick Douglass Boulevard on its western fringe, chef-driven restaurants, cafés and lounges are debuting at a record pace—often with both downtown-style chefs and decor. These newcomers have found a welcoming local clientele. And drawn by the global menus, friendly service and (relatively) less imposing price tags, hungry diners are heading uptown from across New York City as well.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. -- A woman who claimed to be Usher Raymond's wife was arrested after being caught trespassing at the R&B star's Johns Creek home.
According to a police report and 911 call, the woman approached Raymond's house on June 24, rang the doorbell and was initially let into the house.
Raymond said on the 911 call that he was not home at the time and the woman was immediately asked to leave when it was clear she wasn't invited. However, she refused to leave the porch.
"I've got two children in the home," Raymond told the 911 operator. "There are three adults in the house. And apparently this young lady is a bit delusional."
Raymond, who lives in a gated neighborhood, said he spotted the woman on his home security cameras.
According to the report, when police arrived, they found Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw on the porch. She had her iPad plugged into an outside outlet.
Police arrested Rakestraw, but she was refused admission to the Alpharetta jail because of her mental state. The report states she told officers she was Raymond's wife and that "he makes all of her decisions." She was taken to Emory Johns Creek Hospital for mental evaluation.
In the calls, Raymond said he had no idea how the woman made her way past security guards and into his neighborhood.

Invisible hands
Religion | The White House's faith-based office has survived-with its advisory council expired-as a low-priority part of Obama administration
"Invisible hands" Continued...
Rabbi David Saperstein had some fears last year after first joining the 25-member interfaith advisory council created by a newly inaugurated President Obama.
"I didn't think a divided council would be an effective way of making recommendations," Saperstein, the director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, told me about the diverse group that spent a year debating the role of religious groups before it was dissolved last month.
Obama's year-long "fascinating experiment," as Saperstein describes it, has frustrated some in the faith-based social services community because it forced them to wait on any official ruling on how the new White House would regulate such partnerships. But it has had the political benefit of keeping any faith-based controversy on low boil for much of the year.
Saperstein said creating such a council, tasked with giving recommendations to the president, is just the kind of thing that a former law professor turned commander in chief would cook up: "We know the president likes to hear differing debate . . . [and] comes to it from the combined passions of an academic and a grassroots activist and organizer," said Saperstein. "He tried to replicate that in the way he structured the council."
Now Obama's version of the faith-based office has celebrated its first anniversary. And in the eyes of many advocates of government and religious partnerships, no major news is better than bad news. After not knowing what to expect regarding the initiative's future under a new administration, advocates say they have guarded optimism because Obama's White House has spent the past year paying lip service to the notion that such a social services partnership should exist.
"If it survived year one under Obama, it will probably be a permanent part of our government from now on," said David Gushee, a Christian ethics professor at Mercer University.
Last year Obama shocked many of his left-leaning supporters when he announced his intention to keep open the office that President George W. Bush created to help religious organizations tap into federal resources for delivering aid. "He gets credit for daring to keep the faith-based initiative alive," said Jim Towey, the second of three directors of Bush's faith-based office. "He could have stuck it in the Smithsonian."
Much to the consternation of the left, the rules developed under Bush are still in place. This continuation and stability is perhaps the biggest victory for the faith-based office, believes Stanley Carlson-Thies, president of the watchdog Institutional Religious Freedom Alliance. This mainstream acceptance of the important role faith-based organizations play in society now seems to cross partisan lines, he said.
But while the clock hasn't been turned back on faith-based groups as some feared, many like Towey worry that the Obama administration hasn't moved the idea forward either. "The good news is, I don't see it doing any harm. The bad news is, I don't think it's been much of a priority," Towey said. "The initiative just seems invisible. It doesn't seem to be anywhere near the center of the president's agenda."
While Obama has mentioned the effort, speaking to the choir in effect, at his first two National Prayer Breakfast speeches, that's about it: no major faith-based public events, no mention of the office in his first State of the Union address, and little priority given to it in the White House's budget proposal.
Much of the faith-based office's work has moved behind the scenes and been conducted by the interfaith advisory council. In March, the council released a list of 60 consensus recommendations on a host of issues. The group spent a year on conference calls and a few in-person meetings examining economic recovery, poverty, the environment, fatherhood, inter-religious cooperation, and the future of the faith-based office.
The group's final report suggests that common ground was found by using broad words like encourage, promote, create, and develop in nudging the government and faith groups toward together combating a wide swath of issues from joblessness to climate change (even asking churches to "green" their buildings).
Frank Page, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, said he is glad that the "challenging year" is over. Page sat on the task force that looked into responsible fatherhood. While he believes good recommendations came from that group, he wishes more progress had been made in other areas.
The council had initially been assigned to come up with ways to reduce the number of abortions. But administration officials quickly took that agenda off the table. The administration also did not let the council debate another hot-button item: religious hiring practices.
People from both sides of the debate have been eagerly awaiting an Obama ruling on the ability of groups that accept federal dollars to consider religious beliefs when hiring. Obama condemned the practice as discrimination on the campaign trail.
But the Obama White House has not moved on his campaign promise to bar religious organizations from considering an applicant's religious beliefs. Last month a frustrated group of 25 liberal organizations sent a letter to Obama chiding him for what they called "no progress at all" on the issue: "we are disappointed that . . . almost every aspect of the Bush Administration Faith-based initiative remains in place."
"This is a huge piece of unfinished business," said Mercer University's Gushee, "and how it gets resolved will be a big deal."
It would likely be a deal-breaker for many religious groups. If forced to follow federal hiring guidelines in exchange for federal dollars, most would likely refuse the money. "Don't force faith-based groups to not be true to their own worldview," Page said he warned White House staffers despite the council's inability to rule formally on this issue. "The government needs to stay out of the inner workings of faith-based groups."
Rabbi Saperstein also wished the council had been allowed to tackle the subject: "If consensus advice of diverse people is helpful to the administration on less contentious issues, how much more so would it be helpful in the most contentious issue?"
The council did touch on some warm-button topics: They debated whether governments should allow religious art, messages, and symbols to be displayed in rooms where faith-based groups deliver services. Here a majority of the council said the administration should not mandate but rather encourage groups to be sensitive. Thirteen out of the 25 members said the government should require houses of worship to set up a separate corporation to receive federal funds.
Still, Gushee cautions that the council's recommendations to tighten the church-state boundary line may make it less likely that religious nonprofits will seek federal funding avenues. The council called for a greater emphasis on the enforcement of church-state rules.
"Government bureaucracy might have a bit of a chilling effect on good-hearted folks who might reasonably say, 'This is something I might not want to get involved in,'" Gushee told me.
Strict interpretation of rules stating that grant funding cannot be used to pay for specific religious activities could become problematic for evangelical groups where treatment strategies are drenched in prayer and Bible study.
While President Bush's initiative strove for enhanced access to funding, Obama's version shifts the focus to programs.
There is a danger in this top-down approach in which the government decides which programs to implement, says Carlson-Thies, who served on the council's church-state task force. He worries about the government micromanaging and secularizing faith-based groups, which could see their creativity stifled as they are forced to pursue federally approved approaches.
"The danger is if the faith-based initiative becomes one of asking the groups to join in on what the federal government has already decided to do," he told me. "The federal government shouldn't just say, 'We've figured out what to do and are happy for you to join us.'"
With the council now dissolved after its one-year term, Page is anxious to see if its 168-page report will be merely placed on a shelf. Obama greeted the outgoing council members in a private March ceremony in the White House's Roosevelt Room, adding in a statement that he "looked forward" to reviewing the recommendations. But not much has come since then.
Suggesting that the faith-based office has moved into the shadows, the council's report generated little mainstream media coverage. In fact, a Pew Research Center study shows that the faith-based initiative received almost seven times as much coverage in the first six months of Bush's presidency as it did under Obama's first half year in the White House.
Time will tell if the intent of the council is merely for political photo-ops with religious leaders or if future councils will carry any meaningful authority. "That just may be a pipe dream," Page told me. "But we need that voice in D.C."
Few are sure what the next step is, beyond the White House's repeated assertions that it will keep fostering communication between religious groups. But the office continues to be burdened by a small staff handling a tremendously broad area of responsibility.
As the faith-based community awaits the naming of a new council, here is one suggestion for their marching orders: Look at social service areas where the federal government can step away because it can be done better by others. Maybe the group can examine how the federal government can support, not supplant, the role of communities.
Obama would be wise to remember his own words spoken last year when he first unveiled the council: "But no matter how much money we invest or how sensibly we design our policies, the change that Americans are looking for will not come from government alone."

DeMaio returns as government watchdog
San Diego Former City Councilman Carl DeMaio, who lost a bid for San Diego mayor in November, is going back to his roots as a government watchdog by taking a lead role in two new ventures that will focus on pension and budget issues at the state and local level.
In San Diego, DeMaio is recasting the political action committee he's operated since 2003 as Reform San Diego, a research and advocacy group that will focus on implementing voter-mandated pension changes and resurrect the San Diego Citizens Budget Project. The latter is an effort DeMaio began in the early 2000s to scour the city budget and departments looking for cost savings and inefficiencies.
At the state level, DeMaio is partnering again with the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank that favors privatization, on a project called the California Reform Council. As chairman, he plans to promote ways to balance the state budget without tax increases with the top priority of pushing for pension changes statewide.
There had been much speculation about DeMaio's future following his Nov. 6 loss to Democrat Bob Filner in the mayor's race. Before he ran successfully for City Council in 2008, DeMaio, 38, sold two companies that advocated for performance-based budgeting in the public and private sectors and pocketed $2.5 million from the deal. Would he reboot his business career or remain active in politics? The answer turns out to be both.
DeMaio said he plans to move forward on a couple unspecified business opportunities, but he expects the lion's share of his time will be consumed by his new watchdog work.
"My commitment to reforms has not changed, has not wavered, so the two projects I'm going to be involved in will allow me to advance those reforms, just from a different position on the outside of government rather than the inside," he said. "Which is a return of sorts to where I was as a taxpayer watchdog … prior to going into politics."
Carl Luna, a political-science professor at Mesa College, said he's not surprised by the path chosen by the financially independent DeMaio.
"Carl DeMaio came out of the land of think tanks and he's going back to the land of think tanks," Luna said. "I was wondering what he would be looking to do. He has some independent means so he can go back into the nonprofit world and the think tank world and the advocacy world and set himself up as a something of a local Grover Norquist."
Norquist, a fiscal conservative, is famous for getting politicians, mostly Republicans, to sign pledges declaring their opposition to any and all tax increases.
In the past, DeMaio has led coalitions that won voter approval for initiatives that forced the city to put certain services up for competitive bid with the private sector and replaced pensions with 401(k)s for most new city hires. He also led the successful fight against a proposed hike in the city's sales tax in 2010.
His new role with Reform San Diego will likely provide him a venue to challenge the policies and budget decisions of Filner, but DeMaio said he doesn't see himself antagonizing the new mayor.
"I've been fighting to turn our city around far before Bob Filner decided to run for mayor so these issues are very important to me," he said. "I care a lot about making sure we get pension reform done. You don't walk away from something that you know is important and Reform San Diego provides a vehicle for me and others to continue to advocate for fiscal responsibility at City Hall."
Filner didn't respond to a request for comment on DeMaio's new ventures.

Today, thousands of people across Colorado will take the first step to quit using tobacco during the Great American Smokeout, saving money and increasing chances for a healthier, longer life. Many will increase their chances of success by getting help from the Colorado Quitline."The first step in quitting tobacco is setting a quit date," said Emma Goforth, tobacco cessation expert at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. "The Great American Smokeout is the perfect day to quit, because it provides a community support system. Since tobacco is highly addictive, that first step can be the hardest, but once you quit for the day, you're one step closer to staying quit for the rest of your life."The Colorado QuitLine offers free, telephone-based coaching for Colorado residents ready to quit using tobacco. The Colorado QuitLine is available in English and Spanish and is available every day at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669).Nearly one in six Colorado adults uses tobacco, and more than 80 percent of adult smokers became addicted to tobacco before the age of 18. Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in Colorado, killing more than 4,300 people each year - more than alcohol or other drug use, suicide, homicide, motor vehicle accidents, fires and AIDS combined. It can lead to severe health issues such as heart disease, stroke and lung cancer and can shorten smokers' lives. Coloradans pay a huge price for tobacco use: More than $2.4 billion in health care costs and lost productivity each year, a cost to each Colorado household of $579 per year. The dollars an individual spends on smoking or smokeless tobacco add up as well. A pack of cigarettes in Colorado is about $5. For a pack-a-day smoker, that adds up to $1,825 per year. Research shows that smokers who use Colorado QuitLine services are more likely to successfully quit than smokers who try to quit on their own. Trained coaches help individuals develop the confidence and coping skills to quit tobacco use and remain tobacco-free. The program consists of a bilingual QuitLine Call Center; proactive, positive coaching sessions; an online service for 24/7 support; nicotine replacement therapy products for eligible participants; printed materials; and a text messaging program.The Colorado QuitLine celebrates its 10th anniversary in December, having served more than 260,000 Colorado residents.

NSRA Street Rod Nationals - Nats Show Business - Expanded for WebWritten by on November 1, 2007 Contributors: Tim Bernsau The NSRA Even Arranged For The Rain To Fall Overnight This Year!
As I'm the new guy and hadn't been to the NSRA Street Rod Nationals before, it's natural that I should get the job of reporting on the event, though I have to say I'm struggling to accept attending events without a car of my own. With that said, deadlines mean airplanes are a sight quicker than cross-country road trips. Plus the only car I have on the road apart from my daily is the '49 Chevy, and that's too new for Louisville. Of course, we magazine types all look dead cool cruising the fairgrounds in our golf carts. Yeah, right!
So, with literally thousands of rods to get 'round, it's a good thing we do have a golf cart. And with all that heat and humidity-wow-the vendors building sure looks inviting with its A/C. Then you start checking out the rods and kinda forget the humidity. OK, that's a lie, but only a small one. There were some great rods out there and four days suddenly didn't seem like anywhere near long enough to see them all properly and check out all the vendor booths. So, early starts and late finishes were the norm.
It quickly became apparent that many of the nicest cars in attendance were painted black, plus we collectively made a conscious effort to search out non-Fords, and non-'32s in particular, as this year seems to have reached saturation point with the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the '32. However, it can't be denied that Fords are the predominant marque, and, as such, you'll see some in our coverage.
I mentioned big luxury rods in my editorial last month, but boy were there a lot of them at Louisville. And four-doors-more than I thought still existed! But what I found neat was the number of rods that have obviously been built for a few years and were still in use. Sure, they often didn't have the latest trendy wheels or sit as low, but there's something cool about driving the wheels off a car you built yourself and enjoying it. These ain't no trailer queens, but honest to goodness drivers. And there were plenty of 'em in Louisville.
Just as there were plenty of vendors. The Kentucky Exposition Center is one big building and it was overflowing with vendors! It was the perfect place to compare products from different manufacturers in person, which I'm sure is what many people did before purchasing what was right for them.
So whether you wanted to check out new products, compare existing ones, visit Women's World or tech seminars, drool over stunning cars-many magazine feature cars and national award-winning rods were on display in the Builders' Showcase in the lobby of the Exposition Center as well as those outside-or just kick back with your car club and enjoy the festivities, there was room for it all.

A sign on the Cad motor in Drew Strunk's '32 five-window read, "25 hour trip to Kansas for body, 3 years planning, 1 Caddy engine, 8 SW '40s gauges, 3 months sleepless nights, 16 bent or broken pushrods, here at the '07 Nats ... priceless."The '46 Olds grille is prime kustom fodder, but here's the complete car, and don't it look neat? Michael Beilman slammed it, added wide whites on chrome reverses, and dropped a serious big-block between the battleship gray fenders.Yeah, we know it's not a fresh car out, but Paul Brewer's '60s-style '34 pickup warrants close inspection.We really dug the Plymouth grille on Steve Hager's '46 Ford convertible. It looked exactly like it belonged there and really changed the look of this understated kustom.As stated in the text, we were on somewhat of a mission to find non-Fords and non-'32s in particular-a chore helped no end by quality rods such as MJ Hionis' '37 Chrysler Airflow.
What's this? Good question, and one that Jeremy Bach must have answered hundreds of times over the weekend.Despite the obvious lack of fenders and running boards on Eric Hill's '34 pickup, the only deviation from stock sheetmetal is the louvered tailgate.Louisville local Bruce Borne brought along his chopped 'n' channeled '30 A sedan, the zoomie-headed Hemi and slicks announcing that this was no pampered street rod.Don't call Kirk Brown's B Line Special a rat rod, because it's way more than that, featuring super trick air suspension at both ends, coupled to a traditional split 'bones 'n' I-beam front and vintage Winters stock car quick-change rear.The swap meet was pretty healthy, with obscure parts to complete cars. This '34 five-window caught our eye, with a chopped body on a factory frame, 454 big-block and TH400.It's hard to ignore anything with a Hemi and shorty pipes, but even more so when it's as nice as Chris Vannarsdall's '30 A pickup.
Three-windows are supposed to be the Holy Grail when it comes to '36s, but this five-window works just fine for us.Jim Ragle piloted his not-quite-tribal, not-quite-traditional flamed '48 Chevy from Cincinnati, OH. It wears suede purple and way less stainless trim than when it left the factory 60 years ago.The '26 T body is narrowed, though the cartoonish proportions are com-pounded with the use of a big ol' quick-change out back and those huge headlights up frontThere were an awful lot of killer black rods at Louisville, including Barry Boon's Flathead V-12-powered Model A phaeton.Locals Larry and Sara Sneed brought out their '39 Ford four-door convertible, exuding a subtle kustom vibe thanks to a chopped top, whitewalls, and 'caps, not to mention a healthy altitude readjustment.

Melbourne, FL (Florida Today) -- Two girls considered missing and endangered after their parents made threats of a "suicide pact" have been safely found in California, officials said.
Trieu "Kiah" Co Firth, 2, and Chieu "Kristin" Quan Firth, 4, and their parents, James and Mai Firth, were found late Tuesday. No information on how or who found them was released.
On Friday, police began notifying law enforcement nationwide that the family was missing. They were last seen Thursday at The Scott Center for Autism Treatment at Florida Institute of Technology, where they were seeking treatment for one of the girls.
A staffer there called officials reporting the parents made threats to kill themselves and their children if they couldn't afford treatment, or if treatment became too expensive.
Officials previously said it was not a criminal investigation and that the family may have been headed to California to fly back to their home in Vietnam. No information on the parents, who were also found Tuesday, has yet been released.
Florida Department of Children and Families officials said the children were found safe and are with social workers in California. Child protection officials will go there, traveling more than 2,300 miles, to pick up the children in the next several days.
The girls will be placed in protective custody of the state pending an emergency custody hearing, pursuant to a judge's "take into custody" order that was issued early this week. DCF officials now say the family fled during an "active child abuse" investigation.

WHEELING - On a night where speed killed, Brooke coach Sean Blumette wasn't talking about Wheeling Park's offensive speed, which set an unofficial single-game, school record with 412 yards on the ground.
Blumette's focus, after his team's 34-16 setback to the Patriots at Wheeling Island Stadium, was on the other side of the ball.
"What beat us (Friday night) was Park's speed on the defensive side of the ball," Brooke's second-year coach said. "There was no way for us to adequately prepare for that. It's hard for us to simulate that speed, to replicate those athletes. That would be hard for a lot of teams."

Blumette's point is based on the evidence. Brooke finished with 55 yards rushing - barely more than yards per carry. The Bruins did pass for 127 yards, but that was not enough to keep up with Patriots, who ran right off the bat and they never really slowed down.
Bryce Ingram, in his second game back from a stress fracture in his back, showed little ill effects, rushing for 188 yards and three touchdowns that covered 68, 53 and 45 yards.
For a player who wasn't even sure he'd play this year, Ingram made his presence known right off the bat.
On the first play from scrimmage, Ingram took the ball outside, found a seam, and raced 68 yards to stun the Bruins.
Not bad for a guy who suffered what he thought was a pinched nerve in his back, only to later find out it was a stress fracture that had been treated wrongly.
"I was talking to my dad before the season and he said he thought that I'd be back by the fifth game of the season," Ingram said. "Honestly, I wasn't sure that I would be back at all. I felt that way. To be back and playing again, in the fourth game of the season, is a blessing. I can't take credit for it. It sure feels good to bounce back in a win like this though."
Father obviously knew best.
So did coach Chris Daugherty.
"We saw a little rust last week," Daugherty said. "You're talking about a kid who not only missed two games, but two scrimmages. His last football game was our playoff game last year. For him to come out like he did is a credit to him. He missed a few reads, and he'll be the first to admit that. But he's coming along."
So is sophomore Savion Johnson, who backed his senior backfield mate with 155 yards on 21 carries and a score, his coming from 38 yards out when he broke free from a scrum and danced into the end zone to give Park a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
The Patriots (4-0) had gone up 14-0 on an 18-yard pass from Zach Phillips to Chalmer Moffett, well earned after he cleared the path for Ingram on his first TD run.
The Bruins did get on the board late in the first half, sacking Phillips in the end zone for a safety, to trail 21-2.
They weren't quite done.
They came out in the second half and jumped on the Patriots, using a 29-yard touchdown pass from Heath Hildreth to Thomas Cole on a halfback pass and then Matt Lazear returned an interception 61 yards to cut the once seemingly insurmountable Park lead to 21-16 with 3:10 into the half.
The Bruins looked poised to take a lead after a muffed punt by Park was whistled dead at the Patriots 29.
However, Elijah Bell came up with a save when he intercepted a pass three plays later to quell that drive.
"That was a huge play," Daugherty said. "I give all the credit to Brooke for coming out in the second half ready to play. Our kids didn't quit, they stayed on course. I've been here in year's past when we would have fell apart in that situation."
"That was huge," Blumette said. "We got ourselves in position to get into a good position and we kind of shot ourselves in the foot. It was a good play by (Bell). He jumped the route. I couldn't tell if it was tipped at the line or what, but it was a big play for Park."
Ingram later put away any further Brooke (1-4) comeback attempts with two touchdown runs that sealed the game.
"I'm proud of our kids for battling tonight," Blumette said. "We could have folded. We didn't. We'll look at this tape and we'll see some bad things but we will also see some good things."
For Park, it has a potential record, but the work is far from done.
"Any time we get a win over Brooke, it's a good one," Daugherty said. "We had a good game, the kids played well and we were fortunate to come out on top. But it's just Game 4. We have a lot left. We could finish 4-6. Anything is possible."
With that speed, it's not likely.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KSDK) - Trooper, the pit bull puppy horribly injured last month after being tied to a truck and dragged down Interstate 55, is doing much better, according to a new video released by the Humane Society of Missouri.
The Humane Society uploaded a video on Trooper's Facebook page, showing the pup, dressed in his yellow onesie, snacking on string cheese and appearing in good health.
Veterinarians say the young pit bull is making a remarkable recovery and he should be available for adoption in January or February.
St. Louis police and the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force were dispatched Wednesday, November 21 after a driver on Interstate 55 pulled over and found Trooper tied to the back of his truck. The driver was very distraught and said he did not know the dog or how it became tied to his vehicle.
Trooper was wearing a collar and leash, but did not have an ID tag or a microchip. He suffered injuries to his face, ears, shoulder, legs and right side.
Trooper required extensive surgery to save his life, but doctors remain optimistic that the dog's right front leg can be saved.
A reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in this case. The Humane Society of Missouri doubled the reward to $5,000, thanks to the contribution of an anonymous donor. Anyone with information on this case or any other instance of animal cruelty is asked to call the HSMO's Animal Cruelty Hotline at 314-647-4400.
Meanwhile, Trooper penned his own email to supporters thanking them for the well wishes and asking for donations to help cover the costs of his treatment and recovery.

Academic Advising
The undergraduate program views advising as essential to the student's college experience. After declaring social work as a major, each student is assigned an advisor. All social work students have opportunities to be advised individually; students are expected to take an active part in the advising process.
The advisor attempts to engage the student in a process of evaluating his or her aptitude and motivation for a career in social work and assists the student in the selection of courses. Advisors can also be helpful in referring students with personal problems to appropriate resources within the University and community.
Field Education
Field education, a 9-hour credit course, is a four-day-per-week learning experience taken during the fall semester of the senior year. Students are given opportunities, under supervision, to develop social work skills. The School of Social Work uses agencies in a variety of settings for field education placements. Students must make arrangements for transportation in order to complete field education requirements. During this semester, students also attend classes at the School of Social Work one day per week.

Hot Rod Homecoming: RecapWritten by on April 22, 2013 65th anniversary car show is a huge hit in Pomona, CA
HOT ROD magazine celebrated its 65th anniversary this year, and with it the biggest car reunion in history presented by Chevrolet Performance, co-sponsored by Edelbrock. The car show took place in Pomona, CA, on March 23rd and 24th.
The focus was a collection of more than 300 cars, 72 of which were on the cover of HOT ROD magazine at one time. This was the largest-ever gathering of magazine cover cars that included hot rods from issues as old as 1948 and as new as the most recent edition. All ticket holders also got into the NHRA museum on site for free.
Among the famous cars in attendance were Gary Schroeder's '27 T from HOT ROD's August '58 cover and Tony Baron's '27 T from the December '58 cover. Each '27 roadster was on HOT ROD's cover in '58, yet they look completely different. These two vehicles are what make the hot rodding hobby what it is. Created around personalizing your car, the hobby embraces making your car different from your buddy's, even when you're starting with the same car.
The HOT ROD Homecoming featured industry icons Linda Vaughn, Courtney Hansen, Vic Edelbrock, Tommy Ivo, and many more; a pin-up girl contest; a ride-and-drive from Chevrolet Performance; and a pinstripers' panel jam.
The show was separated into four buildings; each building representing a piece of hot rodding history. Building 4, the main and largest building has all of the early cars and famous figures that created hot rodding along with a couple important cars in hot rodding timeline including the HOT ROD Levi van. Building 6 moved into the later years of budget drag racers and then into the Pro street era. Building 5 featured pro builders like Steve Strope and Bryan Fuller and the last building, building 8, featured an exhibit from Petersen Museum and all of the HOT ROD project cars. Land speed record holders were also in attendance; tons of dragsters and engines popping out of hoods could be seen throughout the buildings. Each car's cover photo was placed in front of the appropriate vehicles on a stand.
A majority of the cars were unchanged and looked better than the grainy covers, but some were just a hint of what they once were. Owners of the cars were nearby and loved to talk about the famous hot rods.

This '50 Buick is the second of two feature cars that made builder Troy Trepanier famous. Nicknamed "Bumongous" by Gray Baskerville, this car was eventually sold to Orion Car Audio. Stuffed with 3,000-watts of audio gear, it toured the country demonstrating the best way to break a windshield with sound pressure. It was broken into twice, caught fire once, stuck in a flood, sold to Johnny Lightning, which made die-cast versions of the car, and then it ended up at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2010 where Glen Allen bought it.Even though they're not parked in the same building at the HOT ROD Homecoming, Steve Strope, owner of Pure Vision and the builder of the T5-R Martini Mustang, couldn't help but move his car for this rare photo op. On the left is the February 1967 cover car, a Mustang that used a version of the rare DOHC Ford "Indy" V8 to set a number of FIA records. The Martini Mustang on the right uses a similar engine, albeit with a different exhaust port configuration. HOT ROD just finished up a feature on the Martini Mustang, it's due out in the June 2013 issue.HOT ROD has featured a lot of red, first-gen Camaros, but this one is special. This was the first red, first-gen Camaro ever featured in HOT ROD. After a brief stint at Motor Trend where the stock pony car was tested, the 1967 SS 350 4-speed car was handed over to HOT ROD for testing with aftermarket parts. Over the course of its tenure at the magazine, the car was used to develop a number of products, including Hedman Hedders, Hurst Line-Loc, Lakewood traction bars, and the Edelbrock C4B intake manifold. Vic Edelbrock has owned the Camaro since 1997, when he purchased it from former HOT ROD editor Jim MacFarland. It has since been restored and now runs a 460hp Edelbrock crate 383 that's linked to the original Muncie M21 4-speed.Keith Charvonia's '51 Keiser used to be a four-door, was six-inches taller, and had fugly bumpers; all of which was remedied before Gene Winfield sprayed this orb-scorching paintjob.John Lipori of Marina, California, is the owner of a Skylark funny car built by his father, Jerry Lipori, in Brooklyn back in 1967. Papa Lipori's partner Steve owned a Buick dealership, and, this being the rise of funny car madness, the guys thought a Buick flopper would be just the ticket to boost sales. The mold was made of a complete Skylark from the dealer show floor; you can even see the part numbers in the turn signal lights. Normally, a body would be smoothed and filled before a mold is made, so the little details like the imprint of the front of the car inside the fiberglass body make this very unique.Don Waldron and his friend and employee, Marty, polished the body and quickly threw together a rolling chassis and 409 from parts of another Willys. The car was a hit. Friday March 24th, the guys bench raced a plan to rebuild the car together and race it at the March Meet in 2014. The vibe about the project was good and the creative juices were flowin'. Fellow gasser fiend, Rick Panneton, owner of the Yesterday's Child Tri-Five, even offered up a pair of period-correct carbs he had in his garage. On Saturday, a business card was placed on the car with information leading to the whereabouts of the original front sheet metal for the Silly Willy, which is actually the old Culver Sandblasting Co. Willys, a popular '60s match race car that ran at Lions and Riverside. The parts supposedly even have the old orange paint still intact.
