Chandler Turner
Chandler's personal passion is deeply understanding how communications drive people to action. He applies this knowledge to marketing communications of many types, including Web site content and marketing collateral.

He speaks often and presents seminars on the subject of strategic Web site content. More

Charles Lambdin
As a UX Designer at Intel, Charles works on tools that employees use to get their jobs done. His background is in human factors, research methods, and behavioral science. Charles approaches user experience holistically, insisting that it be more than an add-on to business as usual. Doing genuine user-centered design typically requires whole-team involvement and process change. Justifying such change entails demonstrating that achieving business goals actually requires getting certain targeted populations—of users, customers, or employees—to behave in certain desired ways that sustain the business. What elicits such desired changes in behavior? UX Design. Thus, UX Strategy is really not very different from Business Strategy. In fact, you cannot achieve the goals of Business Strategy without a successful UX Strategy. More

With a detailed understanding of how people make choices and the factors that influence them, Simon has turned the traditional view of Web design on its head, focusing on people's emotions and the way they interact with technology rather than the way technology can change their behavior. As a result, organizations such as Sky, the National Trust, the BBC, the Royal Mail, and many other top brands and international megacorporations ask him not merely to design or improve their online experience, but to transform it by humanizing their technology.

So we headed over to CA Adventure. It is so different from Disneyland! It is larger and the streets are wider and you can just tell it was built much more recently. We headed back to Tower of Terror and got a fast pass. We then went to see the Aladdin show. WOW is all I can say about Aladdin. It was AWESOME! It really should be a Broadway show (esp. instead of a Little Mermaid from what I hear). We were about 4 rows back from the front and just had excellent seats. Your not allowed to take photos so we have none from this amazing show.
We headed over to ToT. It is smaller in size and the attention to detail is lacking. The one if FL is so much better. Another thing I have noticed about many of the rides at both places is that they really aren't handicapped accesible. We had to walk up stairs and then down stairs in many rides. They might have elevators in some rides but I didn't see it.
We ate dinner at The Taste Pilot's Grill. I had the bleu cheese burger and the girls both had a kids meal and an order of onion rings.

California Screamin is a roller coaster. It looks like a wooden roller coaster (which are my absolute favorite) but it is not. It's a steel coaster and does go upside down once. It is an AWESOME coaster. I wish WDW had this one.
We hung out here for a bit and then headed back over to DL so we could use our FP for Indiana Jones (which Alysia kept calling Tomb Raider ) This was a fun ride too. It reminds me of Dinosaur.
We had planned to stay till midnight when DL closed but our internal clocks are 3 hours ahead. We ended up leaving around 9 or so.

War Is Horrible, but
Higgs, Robert, Independent Review
Anyone who has done even a little reading about the theory and practice of war--whether in political theory, international relations, theology, history, or common journalistic commentary--has encountered a sentence of the form "War is horrible, but .... " In this construction, the phrase that follows the conjunction explains why a certain war was (or now is or someday will be) an action that ought to have been (or still ought to be) undertaken, notwithstanding its admitted horrors. The frequent, virtually formulaic use of this expression attests that nobody cares to argue, say, that war is a beautiful, humane, uplifting, or altogether splendid course of action and therefore the more often people fight, the better.
Some time ago--in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, for example--one might have encountered a writer such as Theodore Roosevelt who forthrightly affirmed that war is manly and invigorating for the nation and the soldiers who engage in it: war keeps a nation from "getting soft" (Morris 1979). Although this opinion is no longer expressed openly with great frequency, something akin to it may yet survive, as Chris Hedges has argued in War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (2002). Nowadays, however, even those who find meaning for their lives by involvement in war, perhaps even only marginal or symbolic involvement, do not often extol war as such.
They are likely instead to justify a nation's engagement in war by calling attention to alternative and even more horrible outcomes that, retrospectively, would have occurred if the nation had not gone to war or, prospectively, will occur if it does not go to war. This seemingly reasonable "balancing" form of argument often sounds stronger than it really is, especially when it is made more or less in passing. People may easily be swayed by a weak argument, however, if they fail to appreciate the defects of the typically expressed "horrible, but" apology for war.
Rather than plow through various sources on my bookshelves to compile examples, I have availed myself of modern technology. A Google search for the exact phrase "war is horrible but" on May 21, 2012, identified 58,100 instances of it. Rest assured that this number is smaller than the entire universe of such usage--some instances most likely have yet to be captured electronically. Among the examples I drew from the World Wide Web are the following fourteen statements. I identify the person who made the statement only when he is well known.
1. "War is horrible. But no one wants to see a world in which a regime with no regard whatsoever for international law--for the welfare of its own people--or for the will of the United Nations--has weapons of mass destruction." (U.S. deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage [2003])
This statement was part of a speech Richard Armitage gave on January 21, 2003, shortly before the U.S. government unleashed its armed forces to inflict "shock and awe" on the nearly defenseless people of Iraq. The speech repeated the Bush administration's standard prewar litany of accusations, including several claims later revealed to be false, so it cannot be viewed as anything but bellicose propaganda. Yet it does not differ much from what many others were saying at the time.
On its own terms, the statement scarcely serves to justify a war. The conditions outlined--a regime's disregard of international law, its own people's well-being, and the will of the United Nations, combined with possession of weapons of mass destruction--apply to several nations. They no more justified a military attack on Iraq than they justified an attack on Pakistan, France, India, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, Israel, or the United States itself.
2. "War is terrible, war is horrible, but war is also at times necessary and the only means of stopping evil."
The only means of stopping evil? How can such singularity exist? Has evil conduct never been stopped except by war? …

How can I get the AM / PM option to work? When I add in the time to be (ex) 09:00am, it only shows as 09:00:00.
In the WP General settings, the time is set as: g:i a
And in the Plugin options, the time is set as: g:i a
But when I try to add an event and add the correct time with am or pm, it is not working.
Can someone help me? This is for a client site and they want me to fix this ASAP so they can launch their site. I appreciate it.

"Off the beaten path..." Saint Charles by jdsolo
Saint Charles Travel Guide: 64 reviews and 118 photos
St Charles sits about 20 minutes south of I-90 and 20 minutes north of I-88. It is a bit off the beaten path, but like many towns along the Fox River it has a quaint downtown. There are many bars/pubs in downtown St. Charles to wet your whistle. There are the usual suspects for shopping and dining as well. The Charlestowne Mall is drying up and not really worth a visit except the food court that has a wonderful carousel for the kids to ride.

Invited Post by Liz Willner, Ed.D.
[Liz Willner is Associate Professor of Teacher Education at Oklahoma City University]
I was reading this week about Oklahoma schools and districts being given scores on a "simple" A-F basis. It reminds me of the challenges faced by those of us who are dedicated to helping all our students reach their full potentials. How do we report complexity to the public? How can a single grade tell anything about a school and the efforts of its staff, students, parents, and greater community? How can we help Oklahoma citizens care about other people's children as well as their own? I wrote the following piece 5 years ago when I was struggling to explain why the very foundation of our work with child readers ought to be joy–not test scores, not skill and drill test-prep instruction, not fear of the public shaming ritual begun with No Child Left Behind.
This essay was written to an audience of Oklahoma reading teachers, but maybe it would be helpful for others to take a step back and ponder the power of words, the value of the individual, and the ultimate purpose of reading…
What is the most important goal of reading instruction in our schools? Some would say it is to teach students to comprehend increasingly difficult texts, others would say it is to help students develop the skills to think and question critically, and still others would say it is simply to ensure that our students do well on standardized tests. However, I believe there is a foundational goal that must be in place before anything else matters. That goal is JOY.
Ask yourself, "What is the value of reading in my life?" If your answer has more to do with satisfaction than skill level, more to do with comfort than comprehension, more to do with engagement than exams, you have experienced the joy of reading that ought to be the birthright of every student in Oklahoma's schools.
But can we teach joy? Not really. We can, however, let it permeate all of our work with students. We can model joy and invite our students to experience the sheer pleasure of reading with us. It's not that we're off the hook from the more "scientific" aspects of the teaching of reading. We do need to include excellent instruction and quality assessment, but we also need to allow ourselves the privilege of demonstrating for our students the central role that reading plays in each of our lives. As Opitz and Ford write, "We not only teach children to read, but we also teach them to be readers" (2001, p. 4).
What does teaching children to be readers look like? It looks like the teacher who throws back her head and laughs with her first graders when she sees the pictures in Underwear Do's and Don'ts (Parr). It looks like the teacher who cries when the painful part of Bridge to Terabithia (Paterson) affects him. It looks like the teacher who searches tirelessly for books that will engage a third grade boy who says he hates reading. It looks like the teacher who shares her own favorite passage of the latest book she's reading with her students. It looks like the teacher who listens to one more fifth grader's retelling of the latest Harry Potter book (Rowling).
Teaching children to be readers looks like a teacher who invites her sixth graders to love (or NOT love) a book she holds dear. It looks like a teacher who includes books from a variety of cultures in his classroom library. It looks like a teacher who challenges a seventh grade girl to read a book that she doesn't feel confident about. It looks like a teacher who reads at home, comfortably nestled in his favorite old chair. It looks like…well…it looks like JOY.
Oklahoma teachers of reading should want for our students what we get when we are curled up with a fascinating book, when we're so totally engaged in our reading that the world fades away, when we are so excited about a book that we seek out someone else who has read it, when we get a little self-satisfied feeling when a radio program mentions a book we've read.
Oklahoma teachers of reading should continue to develop their professional practices with new techniques and strategies, but always keep the ultimate goal of reading instruction in sight—JOY.

Verde Valley Voices: Western Concert celebrates Arizona's Centennial
The Verde Valley Voices, with Nancy Bright at the piano.
Bev Hall and Nancy Bright
If You Go ...
What: Verde Valley Voices Western Centennial Concert"
Date: Saturday, April 28, at 3 p.m. Doors open at 2:15 p.m.
Location: Mingus Union High School (new venue for this concert) 1801 E. Fir, Cottonwood
Tickets: $10 or 3 for $25.
Available at Verde Floral in Old Town Cottonwood, 752 N. Main Street (928)634-5509, Planet Video in the Safeway Center, from any choir member or at the door.
For additional information:
Janet Turner, President Verde Valley Voices 928-649-3172 www.verdevalleyvoices.org
All you cow pokes and cow girls out there, come on out and help the Verde Valley Voices celebrate Arizona's 100th Anniversary. There's going to be a whole bunch of singing going on at Mingus Union High School - a new venue for this tribute concert- on Saturday, April 28.
Get ready to saddle up and check out the ruckus! Doors open at 2:15 p.m. and with the performance at 3 p.m. Tickets are just $10 each or a barn storming bargain of 3 for $25. Find them at Planet Video, Verde Floral in Old Town Cottonwood, from any choir member or at the door.
"Our effervescent Choir Director Beverly Hall and renowned piano accompanist, Nancy Bright have been preparing the Voices to present a wide selection of songs that have deep connections to Arizona and its western heritage," stated Janet Turner, president of the Voices.
The 100+ member community choir will don their best western attire to commemorate Arizona's Old West heritage and perform toe-tapping pieces ranging from Paint your Wagon to Route 66, Home on the Range to Happy Trails to you, and many more.
With James Ball as the master of ceremonies, the concert's cast of supporting musicians include some top area talent ...drummer and percussionist Frankie Chavez, Richard Nix on string bass, Keith Hammes on keyboard, Mike Raber on guitar and Joan Spring rhythm.
"In selecting the music for this concert, we wanted to create a special tribute to the cowboys, miners and pioneers who settled Arizona" said Beverly Hall.
A color guard flag presentation by the Cottonwood Civil Air Patrol Cadet Squadron 212 will open the show as the choir and audience join in to sing God Bless America.
Some of the tunes that capture the spirit of Arizona, include songs from "Paint your Wagon" with its images of the wild, wild west. Folks were heading west with a dream. The pioneers had a hard time settling down in one place - so they were always following a "Wanderin Star". For a few of those who did settle down, it was always exciting when "The Coach was Comin In", and when no one is listening, we "Talk to the Trees". Sometimes it seems like they don't listen either! Around Arizona we get a lot of wind - we may even call it "Maria." But it certainly can howl and does blow the dust and clouds around.
"The Road Home," featuring soprano soloist Julie Smith, follows naturally as we seek to find a home after wandering in a dark rainstorm. It's good to feel at home where we belong.
"Cowboy Collage" is a collection of real old cowboy tunes. It depicts a rather forlorn and troubled life in the old west. Life was not always easy, but it sure was exciting!
The Voices will perform the popular jazzy rendition of "Route 66" that was written in 1946 commemorating the main route to the west from Chicago to LA. For a few privileged folks that kind of pleasure of seeing the West from a car speeding on a two lane road through old towns and lots of empty plains will never be forgotten.
"Over the Rainbow" is in tribute to our wonderful rainbows after a monsoon storm that reaches across the sky with even a double rainbow, if we're lucky.
"Happy Trails" is a lovely way to wish a person goodbye. It brings up thoughts of riding your favorite horse down the trail and perhaps into a sunset.
"Our Richard Rodgers medley has several songs that remind me of Arizona", stated Hall. "The hills are alive with the "Sound of Music" certainly could apply to our Verde Valley. We don't have too many "Surreys with the Fringe on Top" around anymore except in parades now and then. For sure, we do have plenty of flowers and produce when "June is Bustin out."
Plus we're planning to take a little fun poetic license with "Oklahoma" and change it to we're doing fine in "Arizona" said Director Hall with a wink.
And, as always, we wish for everyone to "Let There be Peace on Earth".
The tunes to be performed would make Dale and Roy proud! Tumble on through the tumbleweeds and come join in the fun!
Tickets to the Saturday, April 28th, 3 p.m. concert at Cottonwood's Mingus Union High School are $10 each or 3 for $25. www.verdevalleyvoices.org for more info.

Remember Senate Bill 5?
Well, earlier this year the Idaho state legislature passed two laws similar to Ohio's now-defeated collective-bargaining reform law.
The key difference between Idaho and Ohio was that Idaho's laws would only have affected teachers. Senate Bill 5 would have affected all public employees.
This November, Idaho voters decided to repeal them. From our partners at StateImpact idaho:
Voters in Idaho have rejected the trio of education laws put to a referendum through Propositions 1, 2 and 3 by a wide margin. That has sent a clear message to Idaho's Legislature, governor and school superintendent that the reforms they put into place are not popular with the public.
(Propositions 1 and 2 relate to now-rejected laws concerning educator contract negotiations and compensation.)
That last proposition, Proposition 3, had to do with technology and funding for schools. Voters rejected that proposition most strongly. About 66 percent of voters said "no."
StateImpact Idaho says that much of the opposition to Proposition 3 had to do with a provision that would have had the state provigind each high school student and teacher a laptop.
But there was more to Proposition 3 than laptops.
For example:
|What Idaho Wanted to Do
|Is Ohio Doing This?
|A laptop computer will be provided for all high school teachers and students. That will happen over four years beginning with teachers in fall 2012.
|As determined by the Idaho Board of Education, students must take two semester-long online classes to graduate.
|High schools will get more money to help pay for the costs of providing more math and science classes to meet new graduation requirements.
|No. State lawmakers and Gov. Kasich are developing a new funding formula, but have said it's unlikely to increase school funding.
|Creates a formula for allocating money to districts that takes online classes into account.
|See above. Lawmakers and the governor have said they want to encourage online and "blended" learning.
|The Idaho Department of Education will post a fiscal report card for each school district on its website.
|Last year's state budget instituted a similar requirement.
|Raises the minimum teacher salary by $355 to $30,000 a year.
|If a student has completed all graduation requirements by the beginning of her senior year the state will pay for her to take up to 36 college credits while still being registered as a high school student. She can also take college credits in her last semester if she meets graduation requirements by the end of the first semester.
|Ohio already lets high school students take college courses for credit.
|Public post-secondary schools in Idaho can operate charter high schools.
|Yup. (Ohio lets state universities sponsor charter schools.)

Reducing gun violence in America will require a modern, multifaceted examination of mental health issues as well as gun laws. Many of the needed reforms will take months to design, approve and implement. But some common-sense measures — especially regarding gun laws — can quickly be put into effect.
Even as our nation continues to mourn the senseless murders in schools and shopping malls, it's not too soon to begin the most reasonable changes.Like most Americans, Jim Moran is unwilling to wait any longer. The U.S. representative from northern Virginia recently announced he will introduce the "NRA Members' Gun Safety Act" as soon as the 113th Congress convenes. According to alexandrianews.org, the provisions of Moran's bill not only are supported by National Rifle Association members, but have drawn approval ratings ranging from 63 percent to 79 percent.
Five of the provisions make so much sense, the fact that they haven't already been implemented can only be explained by the lobbying stranglehold that the NRA has clamped upon many politicians. The Virginia website describes these five proposed changes in federal law as:
Require background checks for every gun purchase.
Require background checks on gun shop employees.
Prohibit individuals on the terrorist watch list from purchasing firearms.
Require gun owners to report to police when their guns are lost or stolen.
Establish minimum (federal) standards for concealed carry permits.
To be sure, these changes will not immediately solve the problem. But they will help, and we urge U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, to join NRA members in supporting Moran's bill. Republican pollster Frank Luntz confirms the NRA support that is described in Moran's bill.
Also, we would like to see the creation and widespread use of a national database of people who should not be allowed access to weapons, including felons and those with mental health issues. With modern technology advancing so rapidly, it's past time for states and the federal government to share information about guns and potential gun owners. Furthermore, expected legislation calling for restrictions on assault weapons as well as magazine sizes will likely draw strong public support.
The Columbian's support of these proposals should in no way be construed as impinging upon gun owners' constitutional rights. We support the rights of hunters, target shooters and Americans who own guns for protection of people and property. In fact, gun owners typically are strong advocates of gun safety, and as Moran has said, the NRA "is out of step with its membership on many common-sense gun safety measures. … The NRA's absolutist position on gun issues is an impediment to the safety and security of the public." We agree.
A statement from Moran's office maintained that about 100,000 people in America are shot with a gun each year, and more than 10,000 people are killed using a firearm. Among the dead in 2008-2009, according to the Children's Defense Fund, were 5,740 children.
We are better than this. And even as the search for other, more complicated answers begins, especially in the area of mental health, the need to launch reasonable restrictions on gun sales and gun thefts has never been more urgent.

Three molecular forms of a protein inhibitor of chymotrypsin and microbial alkaline proteases have been isolated from Hiproly high-lysine barley.
Automated Edman degradation of one of these inhibitor preparations (CI-1C) resulted in the following amino acid sequence (77 residues in total): Tyr-Pro-Glu-Pro-Thr-Glu-Gly-Ser-Ile-Gly-Ala-Ser-Gly-Ala-Lys-Thr-Ser-Trp-Pro-Glu-Val-Val-Gly-Met-Ser-Ala-Glu-Lys-Ala-Lys-Glu-Ile-Ile-Leu-Arg-Asp-Lys-Pro-Asn-Ala-Gln-Ile-Glu-Val-Ile-Pro-Val-Asp-Ala-Met-Val-Pro-Leu-Asn-Phe-Asn-Pro-Asn-Arg-Val-Phe-Val-Leu-Val (His, Lys, Ala, Thr, Thr, Val, Ala, Glx, Val, Ser, Arg) Val-Gly.
The inhibitor (CI-1) is homologous with another barley inhibitor (CI-2), with potato inhibitor I and with the elastase-cathepsin G inhibitor eglin from the leech Hirudo medicinalis (30–50% of the amino acid residues in identical positions). This established «family of cystine-independent inhibitors» also showed some sequence similarities with the cystine-free yeast proteinase B inhibitors 1 and 2. In the reactive site region homologies with the cystine-rich inhibitors of the «Kazal pancreas secretory inhibitor» and the «Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor» families were observed.

Ok, it seems I am on a ban theme but lets try this one.
If you were the supreme potentate of the entire universe, what sport would you ban and why would you ban it.
It doesn't have to be politically correct, just your opinion. I think Jsharr would choose Baseball. I think I would go with Ice Hockey, or maybe the real sport of Pro wrestling.

Please keep in mind that any delays in artwork submission or proof approval may cause delays. Once ordered, you can use our "Track your order" option, located at the top of our website, to track the delivery status of your order.

Yes, we can alter the design that you send us into the color of your choice.
Can I have the logo itself altered?
Yes, we can alter your logo or artwork for you. Kindly tell us how you would like it changed, and our Art Department will work with you to refine the image.

Can you match the colors that are on my logo or artwork?
The Art team and the Production team always work closely with our customers to ensure the highest quality in color-matching as possible. Keep in mind that it is possible for the color of the item to cause the color of the print to vary, thus we cannot guarantee a 100% match in color.

A source close to former St.Louis Rams coach Mike Martz, most recently the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator last season, said the architect of The Greatest Show on Turf might finally be headed to Chicago.
''Martz would love to work with Jay Cutler,'' said the source, who cited the close relationship between Smith and Martz in sharing the information.
Smith is expected to stay with the Bears in 2010 because of more than $10 million in walking-away money.
But offensive coordinator Ron Turner and at least part of his staff could be another story.

Please visit again as the month of May progresses for the Annual Report 2015 and news about Mayday.
The Mayday Fund is dedicated to alleviating the incidence, degree and consequence of human physical pain.
The Mayday Fund was established in 1992 to further Shirley Steinman Katzenbach's commitment to social and medical causes. The Trustees decided to adopt Mrs. Katzenbach's special interest in the treatment of pain as the Fund's mission. The name Mayday commemorates the date of her birth and is the international word signaling a cry for help, taken from the French "m'aidez" or "help me."
The Mayday Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization since 1992, engages only in philanthropic grant activities defined by its mission targeting the alleviation of pain. It should not be confused with any other organization that uses a similar name or includes "Mayday" in its representation.

I'm considering signing up to Boudoir Prive tonight but I'm already signed up for glossybox. Not sure if 2 boxes is too much, might do the the 2 for a couple of months and see how they compare! :)

I'd sign up for both if my bank balance allowed for it! Both look to have some really lovely items this month (especially the Dermalogica!) x

I was signed up to Glossybox but I cancelled it last month. I'd had 4 boxes and liked every one for the most part. I think you just have to accept the fact that not every box will be amazing and suited to your tastes. Some of the stuff I got was well worth it though. I only cancelled because I was up to my eyeballs in products and really need to use some up!
- 4 November 2011 at 16:37
- Jen said...
Looks much better than the last couple glossy boxes... I'm really tempted to try another box for a month or two but the money is a worry....

Love it!

Great post!
I signed up to Glossy Box a few months ago, but haven't been overwhelmed with the content. I'm giving them one more month, if I'm still not overly impressed then I'm switching to Boudoir Prive.
I've also heard good things about Feel Unique beauty box, which is cheaper than both GB and BP.

Wish it was possible to get such boxes where I live, but unfortunate it isn't :( Glad you liked your stuff though :D

I have subscribed to Glossy Box from the start and have really enjoyed it, especially the recent Dermalogica products. I haven't tried Boudoir Prive but think I prefer having larger size products.
- 5 November 2011 at 06:06
- Zoe said...
I unsubed from glossybox, boudoir prive was a winner until it added p&p fees. my new favourite is the feelunique box, its great!

I still haven't jumped on the bandwagon with this companies yet, but I feel like I should. This is like a haul. I'm all giddy for you. Thanks for sharing.

Wish we had glossy box in the US.
- 5 November 2011 at 11:51

In the US we have the Birchbox but I have been hesitant on whether to invest in it or not if anyone has tried it out let me know please.
- 5 November 2011 at 13:19
- Peiji said...
I think I would love to get the Boudoir box.
I love the Korres body butter and the rose salve!
- 5 November 2011 at 17:48

Wow. These two boxes make the Birchbox look so pitiful. I'm jealous that the British have better stuff.

I have recived the same things from Glossy Box and i love everything exept that nail varnish as its kinda off... :(

The concept is simple: I have one week to attempt to learn what is usually learned over 5-20 years. I either crash and burn - or survive by the skin of my teeth - in a final test (trial by fire) each time. If it's made into a series, which depends entirely on viewership numbers on Thursday night, I'll deconstruct a new complex skill each week. It will show you exactly how I approach learning, and no fake TV drama will be required to make the stakes real.
The pilot airs tomorrow night at 11PM ET/PT on The History Channel (though do double-check your local listings), and here's what you'll see.
This episode was shot in HD in Tokyo and the mountains of Nikko, where I rolled the dice on Japanese horseback archery, or yabusame: full gallop, no hands, no safety gear, with wooden poles lining the track on either side of the horse. Please don't do this at home. I had access to the best in the world, and you'll get to see some never-before-seen footage of a rare and brutal samurai sport few non-Japanese have ever attempted.
Like Tim said, this is a pilot that hasn't been turned into a series yet, so only your eyeballs will determine whether the show continues. Planning on watching? Tell us what you think about the teaser clip in the comments.
