Are there any scenarios that you've encountered during IXD/UX

David Malouf
In Bill Buxton's landmark book 'Sketching User Experiences,' he not only
teaches us about sketching, he argues that sketching is the archetypal
activity of design -- an action central to design thinking and learning.
By illustrating the nuances of sketches, he illustrates how "it takes the
same kind of learning to acquire the skills to converse fluently with a
sketch as it takes to learn to speak in any other foreign language."
Dave Malouf and I agree, and to help others acquire this skill we decided
to hold a workshop in New York called 'Sketching for Interaction Design.'
Taught by
Hi Alexander-
Here are a few tips I wish someone would have told me early on (keep in
mind I come from an animation background). DISCLAIMER- These are my
suggestions- they don't always work for everything.
1. One thing that can make a drawing more aesthetically pleasing is the
line quality.
2. Nice lines are not drawn slowly- they are drawn fast.
3. Learn to find the arcs in what you're drawing. Don't be afraid to
rotate the paper (even upside down) so you can draw that arc naturally
from about 70% elbow | 30% wrist.
4. If you need to draw a line, make a start dot and an end dot.
Dear all,
I was wondering if anyone can offer some some suggestions on improving
sketching skills.
I'm mostly interested in using sketching for (1) illustrating physical
concepts (e.g. the form factor of a device) and (2) drawing
short-scenarios illustrating use of a product/service etc.
I'm currently comfortable at sketching basic block
diagrams/wireframes, i.e. mostly boxes & arrows.
Would appreciate any suggestions for websites, books, or your
experience with following any short courses in this area.
Thanks in advance,
An interesting tool:
Some version of this should help prototyping efforts in the innovation
process... interesting from interaction design standpoint as well :-)
Best Regards

Family Research Council Statement on NBA All-Star Game Re-Locating to New Orleans
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the NBA announced it will move the 2017 NBA All-Star Game to New Orleans, Louisiana. The game was originally scheduled to be hosted in Charlotte, North Carolina, but the NBA moved the game out of Charlotte in protest over passage of North Carolina's House Bill 2, which provides common sense protections for bathroom privacy and against government overreach.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement:
"I commend North Carolina Governor McCrory for his political courage and moral clarity in not caving in to the NBA's threats to move the All-Star game. He stared down the giant of the NBA and stood strong against government discrimination of private entities and for the principles of protecting privacy and safety in government buildings.
"My home state of Louisiana, like North Carolina, is one of 32 states in the U.S. that does not force private businesses to allow men in women's showers, locker rooms, and restrooms. On the other hand, in New Orleans—the same as in Charlotte—the NBA will be free to divide the restrooms at its own event on the basis of self-professed 'gender identity' instead of objective biological sex, if it wishes to do so. Only politics—not the well-being of transgender persons or anyone else—motivated this disruptive and punitive move.
"The hypocrisy of the NBA over North Carolina's HB 2 law is utterly stunning. The NBA is willing to turn a blind eye and play games in countries, like the People's Republic of China, that regularly oppress their own citizens.
"The NBA should focus on basketball, not on redefining what it means to be male or female," concluded Perkins.
Supreme Court Decision on Gay Marriage Evokes Strong Reactions From Christian Leaders.
By Rev. Robert A. Crutchfield, Editor Faithinspires.Org
Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court released its ruling that the U.S. Constitution guarantees same sex couples the right to marry. News of the decision had barely crossed " the wires" when the reaction from all parts of our nations Christian leaders came flooding back across the same news wires, emails to supporters etc. What follows is a small sampling from some of the press releases etc. we have seen.
The Evangelical Church Alliance issued a statement which read in part,
Evangelical Church Alliance (ECA), one of America's oldest associations of independent Evangelical ministers, missionaries, and military and institutional chaplains, reaffirms the biblical, natural, and millennial-old nature of the definition of marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman.
The Supreme Court of the United States does not possess the authority, or the expertise, to speak to the nature of Holy Matrimony, which is exclusively within God's provenance. Jesus explicitly spoke to the divine origin and purpose of marriage when he said, "[A]t the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." (Matthew 19:4-6)
The ECA takes seriously the assurance of Associate Justice Kennedy and the four other justices when they write in today's opinion, "[I]t must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered."
Jonathan Falwell of Thomas Road Baptist Church contributed this to the conversation,
"It is a sad day in our nation when the Supreme Court believes it has the moral right to redefine marriage. Beyond the clear Biblical mandate that marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, this decision flies in the face of all of recorded history. The Bible clearly commands us to love others regardless of their spiritual or moral condition, but it does not leave room for us to change the definition of sin. For those in the faith community, this decision doesn't change what we do or how we do it. We will continue to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the only hope for the world. We will do this in a way that always reflects Christ's love, but we will not compromise our values or beliefs according to the Scriptures."
Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council said in his statement,
"Five justices on the Supreme Court have overturned the votes of 50 million Americans and demanded that the American people walk away from millennia of history and the reality of human nature.
"In reaching a decision so lacking in foundation in the text of the Constitution, in our history, and in our traditions, the Court has done serious damage to its own legitimacy.
"No court can overturn natural law. Nature and Nature's God, hailed by the signers of our Declaration of Independence as the very source of law, cannot be usurped by the edict of a court, even the United States Supreme Court.
"Marriage is rooted not only in human history, but also in the biological and social reality that children are created by, and do best when raised by, a mother and a father. No court ruling can alter this truth.
"It is folly for the Court to think that it has resolved a controversial issue of public policy. By disenfranchising 50 million Americans, the Court has instead supercharged this issue.
"Just as with Roe v. Wade in 1973, the courts will not have the final say on this profound social matter. The American people will stand up for their right to have a voice and a vote, especially as they experience the ways in which redefining marriage fundamentally impairs their freedom to live and work in accordance with their beliefs.
Steve Crampton, Special Counsel to The Thomas Moore Society who wrote the Society's amicus brief which made up part of the case the Supreme Court ruled on today, responded this way,
"Today's Supreme Court decision purporting to redefine the institution of marriage will be regarded by many Americans as a grave aberration that obliterates the borderline between the rule of law and policy-making. Natural marriage – the union of one man and one woman – is the foundation for a stable, fruitful civil society. Without it, societies are prone to crumble. The Constitution does not authorize the Court to redefine marriage, nor to rob the people of their right of self-governance – to debate and determine for themselves what laws will govern. This is not justice. It is sheer judicial activism and politics run amok."
Rev. Anthony Evans, President to the National Black Church Initiative declares,
"The Supreme Court has redefined the concept of marriage in America by declaring everyone has a right to marriage despite their sexual orientation. The church strongly believes the Supreme Court is about to abolish the institution of biblical marriage…..a marriage between a man and a woman." This is such an extraordinary ruling bound to cause great anguish in bodies of religions all across the world. Demonstrated acts of unconditional love for our gay brothers and sisters must be exhibited to ensure a smooth transition within and among all communities through the midst of this sensitive legal and moral issue.
This is why the National Black Church Initiative is reaching out to our gay brothers and sisters in anticipation of preventing any verbal, physical or emotional acts against the gay community. We strongly believe in the effectualness of prayer and having a venue for open dialogue and communication as the appropriate solutions going forward. Therefore we are calling for and invite the leadership of the gay community to visit our houses of Christian worship as we seek to show ourselves friendly and engage in this great journey of unconditional love."
"This is a tragic day for America," said Linda Harvey, president of Mission America, an Ohio-based Christian pro-family group. "By this unjust and unconstitutional decision, the rule of law in America apparently no longer applies. There is no phrase or word in the 14th Amendment that justifies this illegitimate ruling that will create a monumental, unnecessary division in this country by setting a standard supporting sexual deviance."
The opinion's legitimacy is also in question for the refusal of Justices Ginsburg and Kagan to recuse themselves, despite their public participation in same sex "marriages" in the past.
States have been regulating marriage law for over a century, so the majority ruling defies the precedent of states' rights, including the lawful votes of over 51 million American voters who cast ballots in favor of man/woman marriage in state constitutional amendments, Harvey also said.
"This unsupportable ruling will open the door to the violation of religious convictions and to civil disobedience if necessary by people of faith," added Harvey. "Despite the bone tossed to people of faith by Justice Kennedy in his majority opinion, Americans can no longer trust this court or trust that such First Amendment freedoms will be sustained."
This next comment is part of a statement issued by the Georgia Baptist Convention,
" The Georgia Baptist Convention (GBC) is disappointed and saddened by the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on state bans against same sex marriage. The ruling contradicts the longstanding tradition of, and historical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Even more essential, it contradicts the biblical definition of marriage.
As Justice Kennedy pointed out in arguments, the long-standing belief that marriage is between a man and a woman is "millennia, plus time." As Christians, our belief is that marriage is ordained by God in the scriptures at the beginning, and only between a man and a woman. Government didn't create marriage, and therefore shouldn't change the definition of marriage, nor force it upon those who do not wish to participate in it.
Scripture tells us in the book of Matthew, "that He who created them in the beginning made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." "Throughout the scriptures it is very clear what God's idea and purpose of marriage is," said Dr. J. Robert White, executive director, Georgia Baptist Convention. "We support the biblical view of marriage on moral religious grounds, but also for the value and impact traditional marriage has on the family, stability and society as a whole."
Institute for Religion and Democracy President Mark Tooley commented:
"As in other infamous politicized rulings, the Supreme Court has chosen fashion over law. There are no winners, and the biggest losers are children in America who are the chief victims of the breakdown of marriage and family.
"As The Church has for 42 years rallied ongoing resistance to the court's Roe vs. Wade invention of a right to unrestricted abortion, so now The Church must resist the court's attempt to claim authority over the definition of marriage.
"The coming decades offer the opportunity for Christians and other traditionalists to help revive marriage and family as increasing numbers of Americans suffer the consequences of radical secularist assaults on both.
"Now is not the time for despair, retreat or anger. The court's arrogance should be mocked, and The Church should declare that, in a free society, appointed judges don't have power over what is eternally rooted in creation."
Brian S. Brown president of the National Organization for Marriage said in part,
Though expected, today's decision is completely illegitimate. We reject it and so will the American people. It represents nothing but judicial activism, legislating from the bench, with a bare majority of the Justices on the Supreme Court exercising raw political power to impose their own preferences on marriage when they have no constitutional authority to do so. It is a lawless ruling that contravenes the decisions of over 50 million voters and their elected representatives. It is a decision that is reminiscent of other illegitimate Court rulings such as Dred Scott and Roe v Wade and will further plunge the Supreme Court into public disrepute.
Make no mistake about it: The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) and countless millions of Americans do not accept this ruling. Instead, we will work at every turn to reverse it.
The US Supreme Court does not have the authority to redefine something it did not create. Marriage was created long before the United States and our constitution came into existence. Our constitution says nothing about marriage. The majority who issued today's ruling have simply made it up out of thin air with no constitutional authority."
From the Episcopal Church which was meeting in its General Convention at the time of the ruling, two of its leaders came out in favor of the Supreme Court's decision,
First by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori,
"I rejoice that the Supreme Court has opened the way for the love of two people to be recognized by all the states of this union, and that the court has recognized that it is this enduring, humble love that extends beyond the grave that is to be treasured by society wherever it exists," she said. "Our society will be enriched by the public recognition of such enduring faithful love in families headed by two men or two women as well as by a woman and a man. The children of this land will be stronger when they grow up in families that cannot be unmade by prejudice or discrimination. May love endure and flourish wherever it is to be found."
To which House of Deputies President the Rev. Gay Clark Jennings added,
"As we Christians are known to say from time to time: 'Alleluia'."
"I am elated that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry in all 50 states. In March I had the great privilege of signing on to an amicus brief urging the justices to make the decision they announced today, and I am deeply grateful that they have granted a fundamental human right to people whom had been denied it for so long."
Jennings said she supports marriage equality "not in spite of my faith but because of it."
"In more than 35 years of ordained ministry, I have known many faithful, committed same-sex couples whose love gave me a deeper understanding of God's love and whose joy in one another testified to the goodness of God's creation," she said. "I have also learned through simple, everyday experience that same-sex couples make vital contributions to our common life, and I rejoice at the security today's ruling affords them."
I am sure this will by no means be the end of the reaction from Christian groups and leaders. It is highly likely that we will be adding more to this article in the coming days.- Pastor Crutchfield
Family Research Council's Tony Perkins to Join Atlanta Rally in Support of Fired Fire Chief
January 12, 2015
Nearly 28,000 petitions gathered in support of Chief, Religious Freedom
ATLANTA, GA — Tomorrow, Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins will join Atlanta area pastors and religious liberty advocates at a rally in support of former Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran. Cochran was suspended and then fired because of a book he wrote for a men's Bible study group at his Baptist church.
The "Standing for our Faith Rally" is scheduled to take place at the Georgia Capitol Rotunda at 1:30 p.m. FRC has gathered nearly 28,000 petitions over the last few days protesting the overreach of government authority that resulted in the Chief's firing.
"The idea that the government can force public servants to surrender their First Amendment rights is outrageous," said Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.
"If a government will fire someone for their religious beliefs, no beliefs are safe from government regardless of how sacred those beliefs may be. Mayor Reed is sending a very clear message that Christians must check their faith at the door of public service.
"Increasingly, the expectation seems to be that anyone in public service shouldn't serve in Sunday school, lead Bible studies, write books, or believe anything contrary to government dictates. I stand with Chief Cochran, Atlanta pastors and all those who cherish our constitutional freedoms of speech and religious freedom," concluded Perkins.
WHO: Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council
WHAT: Standing for Our Faith Rally
WHERE: Georgia Capitol Rotunda
WHEN: 1:30 PM — 2:30 PM ET Tuesday, January 13, 2015
FRC's Tony Perkins Wraps up Visit to Israel as a part of 'Christians in Solidarity with Israel' Trip
JERUSALEM, Aug. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Family Research Council President Tony Perkins is wrapping up a visit to Israel this week as a part of the "Christians in Solidarity with Israel" trip, hosted by the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB). He met with several high level Israeli officials including Nir Barkat, Jerusalem's mayor and advisors to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Perkins' national radio show, Washington Watch, broadcast live from Jerusalem during Perkins' trip.
Perkins made the following comments about his trip during which he observed missile attacks on Israel:
"We came to see first-hand what is happening in Israel, show our support for Israel's right to defend itself, and remind Christians to pray for Israel.
"Near the Gaza border, I met an Israeli man in a bomb shelter whose recently vacated house was hit and destroyed by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip. Tragically, missile attacks have become a way of life. However, it is not the missile attacks they fear the most but the underground tunnels of terror.
"During our meeting with the mayor of Jerusalem, we read Psalms 122:6. This Scripture took on a deeper meaning sitting with the mayor of Jerusalem knowing that he was leading the city we have been instructed by God to pray for. We prayed for him and then walked outside on the terrace overlooking the entire city. Psalm 122 does not have an expiration date. This is why we continue to emphasize the need for American Christians to remain steadfast in prayer for the peace of Jerusalem so that all the people of that region, Jewish and Palestinian, can live without fear. In addition, we must not forget the many Palestinian Christians who are under the control of Hamas. We also stand with those in the West Bank and Gaza who truly desire peace.
"Evil unleashed is the only way to describe what is taking place in the Middle East. Thousands of missiles are raining down on Israel at the same time Christians are being slaughtered across Iraq and Syria. Sadly, we are seeing the ongoing consequences of the failed foreign policy of the Obama administration.
"Israel is truly an oasis of freedom in a bad neighborhood. It's the only place in the Middle East where Christians can live out their faith without persecution. America's commitment to Israel's security is and must remain sacrosanct – especially now as it defends itself from terrorism," concluded Perkins.

Conservative Christians React to the Supreme Court's Decision on Marriage
Today the U.S. Supreme Court announced their decision on the definition of marriage. Below is some of the reaction from leading Conservative Christian attorneys who have been involved in, or very closely following the case.
Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Austin R. Nimocks had this to say,
"Despite the Supreme Court's decision, the debate over marriage has only
just begun. The court's decision does not silence the voices of
Americans. Marriage–the union of husband and wife–will remain
timeless, universal, and special, particularly because children need
mothers and fathers. This has been the experience of diverse cultures
and faiths throughout history, including the American experience, and
that will not change. Americans will continue
advancing the truth about marriage between a man and a woman and why it
matters for children, civil society, and limited government."
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council released the following statement,
U.S. Catholic Bishops released the following through Catholic News Service,
Human Life International President Father Shenan J. Boquet had the following comments on today's ruling,
"Since marriage is an institution that predates any government, the nature and definition of marriage were never in doubt, and thus could not justly be changed by any court or vote," said Father Boquet. "Marriage still is, and has always been, a covenant by which one man and one woman establish a partnership for life that is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of children."
"We must continue to demand that our political leaders recognize and protect this most natural institution especially in this time of intense bigotry and discrimination toward those who defend marriage in the public square," said Father Boquet.
"Most Americans know that this debate over marriage will never ultimately be settled by the Court, for at least two reasons," said Father Boquet. "First, those who are leading the assault on marriage have demonstrated again and again their disdain for laws that defend marriage and for the will of those with whom they disagree. Theirs is a crusade against both faith and reason, and they are no more likely to stop with a court decision than are the defenders of marriage."
"Second," he said, "the definition of marriage is not determined by any court or any legislative vote. A just nation recognizes and upholds the true meaning of marriage for the common good of the people and the institutions of the nation."
"Our larger task remains the same – to remind all people of good will that without marriage, there is no prosperous and unified future for any nation," Father Boquet said. "As the lifetime, faithful, and life-welcoming union of one woman and one man, marriage is naturally the best place to welcome children into the world and form them in love and truth. The more a society understands this natural fact, the healthier and more unified it will be. The more this natural fact is attacked, the more divided we will become, needing ever more expensive governmental solutions (welfare, prisons, etc.) to compensate for the natural good that has been discarded."
"Finally we note that these decisions do not bode well for the freedom of those religious institutions, such as the Catholic Church, who can only uphold the true definition of marriage. We expect that persecution of the Church will increase as opponents of true marriage demand that no dissent be tolerated, and that religious institutions participate in performing 'marriage' ceremonies for same-sex couples or suffer charges of discrimination. We are prepared for these inevitable events, and we stand in solidarity and hope with all who defend marriage."

Liberty Institute Sends Letter to HHS to Clarify Family Research Council's Requirements Under the HHS Mandate
October 23, 2012
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Family Research Council (FRC) announced today that the Liberty Institute has submitted a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on behalf of FRC, asking for clarification of whether FRC will be forced to cover sterilizations, abortifacients and contraceptives in its employee health care plans. If FRC does not hear from HHS by November 5, FRC will consider legal action challenging the enforcement of the HHS employer mandate.
J. Michael Johnson, senior counsel at the Liberty Institute, notes in the letter that "FRC believes that it should qualify as an exempt religious employer, but under the strict definition provided in the amended interim final regulations issued and made effective in August 2011, it may not. Because the precise application and final scope of the religious employer exemption remains ambiguous, we are hereby requesting a formal determination by the Department of Health and Human Services on whether or not FRC will be made to comply with the mandate. If you determine the religious exemption does apply to FRC, a legal challenge may be avoided."
Johnson and Liberty Institute already serve as counsel on pending federal court litigation challenging Obamacare on behalf of other religious institutions. "If FRC is forced to comply with this unconscionable mandate, we will be happy to file an immediate challenge on its behalf," said Johnson.
Of the letter FRC President Tony Perkins made the following comments:
"It is unbelievable that there is even a need to submit such a letter, since FRC and many religious organizations like it around the country should be recognized as such by the Obama administration. Religious bookstores, universities, and many other Christian-owned businesses have already been targeted, and many are fighting back in court against this unconstitutional attack on religious liberty. If HHS responds to this letter by insisting we comply with this unconstitutional mandate, then we will pursue other options to defend our religious liberty.
"Family Research Council will not comply with a mandate that forces us to violate the statement of faith that every employee agrees to. We are committed to repealing and replacing President Obama's unjust health care law, which uses taxpayer dollars for abortion, further burdens American families, raises taxes and restricts religious liberty," concluded Perkins.

Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin Joins Family Research Council As Executive Vice President
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Family Research Council President Tony Perkins is pleased to announce today that Lt. Gen. (USA Ret.) William G. "Jerry" Boykin has joined Family Research Council as its Executive Vice President. In this role, he will oversee day-to-day operations including policy, finance, development, communications, human resources, facilities, information technology, constituent communications and services.
Of Boykin, Perkins said:
"We are very excited and pleased to announce that Lt. General Boykin is joining Family Research Council's leadership team," said FRC President Tony Perkins, a Marine veteran. "The depth of his leadership skills, forged under the most demanding circumstances, combined with his passion for faith, family and freedom, will greatly enhance FRC's effectiveness and impact in Washington and beyond."
General Boykin was one of the original members of the U.S. Army's Delta Force. He was privileged ultimately to command these elite warriors in combat operations. Later, Jerry Boykin commanded all the Army's Green Berets as well as the Special Warfare Center and School. His last four years in the Army were spent in Washington, D.C. as the U.S. Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.
"I am honored to join the country's premier Christian public policy organization dedicated to strengthening the family, defending life and advancing freedom," said Boykin. "As I ponder the future that my six grandchildren will grow up in, I realize how important it is that I do my part to restore the values that made America a great nation. This is why I am honored to help advance Family Research Council's mission of faith, family and freedom."
Additionally Lt. Gen. Boykin will assist FRC in its expanded role of advocating for the men and women who continue to serve in our nation's military.
"The Obama administration has undermined our nation's security and increased the risk to those who serve by systematically using our nation's military to advance a liberal social agenda. There is no one better equipped to speak on behalf of those who serve our nation in uniform and advocate for policies that uphold our national security than General Boykin," concluded Perkins.

FRC Statement on Verdict in Rutgers University Case
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Earlier today,
, a former Rutgers University student was found guilty of invasion of privacy. The student had been charged after his roommate, Tyler Clementi, committed suicide after learning that Ravi had used a webcam to watch his sexual encounter with another man.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement:
"Today's verdict is another opportunity for all Americans to speak out against the behavior of anyone who would abuse another person – especially a child – because of his/her sexuality or any other reason. This is a complete violation of Jesus's commandment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Family Research Council believes that every individual deserves equal protection, and every offender should receive equal punishment.
"Unfortunately, some pro-homosexual activists would exploit the personal tragedies of these families to promote a political agenda. Some have even laid blame not on the actual bullies but on Christian churches and conservative politicians. It's wrong to politicize these tragedies. Instead, we should focus on preventing the bullying of young people-for their sexual orientation, appearance, religion, or any other reason," concluded Perkins.

FRC Action Criticizes Senate Vote Opposing Blunt Amendment to Preserve Religious Liberty
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Family Research Council Action (FRC Action), the legislative advocacy arm of the Family Research Council, criticized the U.S. Senate vote today against Senator Roy Blunt's "
" amendment. The amendment would have restored the status quo on conscience rights prior to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and protect against the recent mandate on abortifacients, sterilization and contraceptives by the Obama administration's Department of Health and Human Services.
FRC Action will score the vote in its annual scorecard.
Of the vote, FRC Action President Tony Perkins said:
"Today, 51 senators, led by Sen. Harry Reid, sacrificed the Constitutional right of religious liberty on the altar of the Obama administration's radical big-government agenda. They turned a deaf ear to the very real religious and moral objections of millions of Americans and the First Amendment rights of all.
"We thank Democrat Senators Joe Manchin, Robert Casey and Ben Nelson for standing up to their caucus and fighting for religious liberty. Their vote for Sen. Blunt's bill, along with support from Republican Senators ranging from pro-life Senator Kelly Ayotte to pro-abortion Senator Susan Collins showed that this is not about women's health but about whether the government can violate religious liberties.
"The President and Congress need to wake up and realize that they have run into an immovable wall of principle that religious liberties are still in fact fundamental rights in this country. No political machinations they attempt will surmount the unshakeable religious and moral convictions of those of us opposing this government mandate.
"We urge the House of Representatives to pass Congressman Jeff Fortenberry's legislation and send it back to the Senate as Americans increasingly realize that their fundamental religious liberties are being threatened."

Schoepp, who won global gold in 1988 and 2010, had to withdraw from last year's World Championships following a serious injury just before the competition started in Canada.
In her absence Germany didn't make it out of the round-robin stage however Schoepp got her rink off to the perfect start by beating Sidorova's European champions first up.
Russia went in front in the ninth end when Sidorova hit to score three points to make it 9-8 however Schoepp's rink scored three points with their last stone for an 11-9 victory.
And Schoepp said: "I just want to have fun here, and have some good games, and then we will see what happens. Anything will be better than lying in a bed in a hospital like last year."
Meanwhile USA skip Erika Brown also got her campaign off to a winning start with a 10-3 victory over Italy while Switzerland skip Silvana Tirinzoni led her rink rink to a 7-6 win against Japan.
Chinese skip Bingyu Wang made an irrecoverable start against Danish counterpart Lene Nielsen handed them a steal of three points in the fourth end and then steal five in the fifth.
Leading 10-0, Denmark eventually ran out 11-4 winners and skip Nielsen believes such a big victory in their first game of the World Championships could prove to be vital later down the line.
"It's really important that we started with a win. We wanted to keep it simple, get a feel for the ice, and just get started," said Nielsen.
"We've never beaten this team before. But the ice was quite tricky and both teams struggled with draw-weight and we figured it out on top, so I'm glad about that."

All aspects of doing business with Ruggies show a company and its employees practiced in deceit to justify defrauding customers. 1. They double your order and double the unreasonable postage and charge you on the web without your consent. 2. They would not acknowledge cancelation of my order. 3. I refused acceptance of it. 4. They acknowledged the return but did not credit my account. Customer service rmake make verifiably false statements to blame the customer for the situation.

( only 52 1st time and 151 2nd time two days after first.) they want to wait a week and do another hcg test and ultra sound. I've had two pregnancies with two healthy babies (now 6 &4) and had a miscarriage in January. I'm just confused!!! Any advice?

Comments (7)
At this point all you can do is wait. Blighted ovums are rare but not THAT rare. What happens is the baby stops developing before anything can be seen in the sac. How far along are you supposed to be? Its possible your dates are off.
Not looking forward to what they have to say. I guess I'm not to hopeful due to recent miscarriage.
I've heard that 5 week ultrasounds will not show much, if anything at all.
and I found this "5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml**"
So, 52 would be in that range, and 152 is at least double - HCG doubles every other day (also what I've heard).
I wouldn't start worrying just yet. Relax, and get your levels checked next week. I wish you all the luck in the world!
I agree with Lovey about the 5-week ultrasound not showing much. I had one that early with my first successful pregnancy and it didn't show anything.
Expecting #1; EDD 2/11/10 IT'S A GIRL!
I did a lot of research bc before I had it I had never heard of a blighted ovum. I found a website where a lot of women said they were diagnosed with a BO, and held off on doing a DNC only for the baby to be there a week or so later....so I would relax and hold off on deciding anything bc like the other people said 5w is still very early, and your numbers are doubling. Good luck and God Bless.
I had a D&C at 9w along due to triploidy back in Novmeber. I got pregnant right away again (not trying.....just a night of comfort and we had no idea I would ovulate 2 1/2 w after my D&C)
Anyway, 6w post D&C I was still testing + on hpt (tested every weekand NEVER got a -) so I called doc. Got a blood test the next day. It was 7700. 1 week later I went in for another blood draw and u/s. Blood 11,000, u/s showed an empty sac, no fetal pole, no hb, nothing. Sac was measuring 10 1/2weeks and I was only 7w post D&C. the sac edges were not smooth and round, they were irregular shaped.
Doc was thinking possible molar pregnancy so I had to have a D&C that day. Thankfully it was not molar but there was no real genetic material in the sac. Not sure if they called it a blighted ovum or not.....when I used that term with an RE he said that a BO is just an embryo that does not develp for some reason or another. My Obg/yn seems to feel like it was too soon for my body to nurish and hold onto the baby and that is why it did not develop properly. But we will never know for sure.
SO I understand your frustration. 2 losses back to back like that is excrutiating and frustrating. Wait out the week and see what the next u/s and blood tests say. You can't just focus on the hcg levels because there is such a HUGE range that is considered "normal" so they will most likely rely on the u/s measurements and results.
I wish you the best of luck. ((((HUGS))))
I hope all goes well for your. Give it some more time to see if the baby develops, but prepare yourself

Digging down into Perl hood with the debugger
The Perl interpreter, perl, doesn't often crash, but if it happens, not even the excellent Perl debugger will be able to help you.
If you program in Perl rather than in C or C++, you will probably be grateful for a few things that Perl takes off your hands: memory allocation, counting references, watching out for rogue pointers, freeing up memory – these labors of Sisyphus are offloaded from the developer's desk by Perl's virtual machine, helping developers to keep focused on the implementation. Down below in the engine room, things can start to go awry. Although you will rarely make the acquaintance of a bug in a Perl release that actually takes down the C-based virtual machine, addins programmed by unwary C/ C++ developers can trip you up.

L.A. Confidential is "tough, gorgeous and vastly entertaining" (James Maslin, The New York Times) and won 1997 Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress (Kim Basinger) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Brian Helgeland & Curtis Hanson). Three cops, a call girl, a mysterious millionaire, a tabloid journalist fuel a labyrinthine plot rife with mystery, ambition, romance and humor.]]>

The acting performances in this picture are for the most part first rate: Guy Pearce plays the ambitious Edmund Exley to perfection, Russell Crowe is superb as tough guy detective Bud White, and Kevin Spacey (one of my favorite actors of all time) turns in a stellar performance as the hip narco detective who also acts as a consultant on a Dragnet-like TV series. Strong performances by James Cromwell, Ron Rifkin, and the ubiquitous David Strathairn round out the picture. Although I liked Kim Basinger, I thought she was cast more for her look than for her acting skills. She played the role of a Veronica-lake lookalike prostitute quite well, but hers didn't look like a performance any other competent actress couldn't have pulled off.
The DVD version of this picture is more full of features than any other title I've owned thus far. It includes a documentary about the making of the film which includes cast interviews and clips of Crowe's and Pearce's screen tests. There's also a location map that tells the viewer about each of the major locations where scenes were shot, cast bios, a promo for the soundtrack (featuring some very good early 50's jazz courtesy of Chet Baker and other artists of the era), and the movie can be played with just the soundtrack running.Read more ›
or to discourage criminals from settling in town? Or one who joined the police force to emulate his father, a department legend; to go after "Rollo Tommasi" (the guy who thinks he can get away with anything), but who thereafter lets his career and department politics dictate his actions? Or, in the end, is it the one who has let corruption wipe out so thoroughly the reasons why he once joined the police force that he doesn't even remember a single one of them, but who for once in his life still finds it in himself to go after real criminals, even at the risk of his own life? This is just one, although maybe the central question asked in "L.A. Confidential," the movie based on James Ellroy's novel with the same name. And as does the book, the movie refuses to provide an answer to this and the other questions it asks.
The story is set up by tabloid editor Sid Hudgens (Danny DeVito), who during the movie's opening credits gleefully sums up the L.A. clichés that still hold true today: "Come to Los Angeles! The sun shines bright, the beaches are wide and inviting, ... there are jobs aplenty, and land is cheap. Every working man can have his own house, and inside the house a happy, all American family. You can have all this, and who knows, you can even be discovered - become a movie star or at least, singer. Life is good in Los Angeles: it's paradise on earth." Laughing sarcastically, however, he adds: "That's what they tell ya', anyway, 'cause they're selling an image.Read more ›
As mentioned by Dargis, L.A. Confidential was released in 1997 to huge critical acclaim. It went on to be nominated for nine Academy Awards and is now considered a key film for the 90s. In fact, in answer to a question from an audience member, Dargis feels that had Titanic been released another year, L.A. Confidential would have garnered all the major awards of 1997. Although it didn't, it is still widely regarded as one of the best movies of that year.
Based on the novel by James Ellroy, the film is a dark and gritty noir set in 1950s Los Angeles and deals with police corruption and Hollywood sleaze. The seemingly idyllic Los Angeles of the early 1950s provides the glitzy backdrop for the grisly crime that is the focus of the story: a bloody shotgun slaying of the patrons at an all-night diner. One of the victims was Dick Stensland, a subpar police officer forced into retirement after a drunken brutality incident not long before his death.
Heading the investigation are three very different cops.Read more ›

How to make your skincare serums work better than you ever thought possible
Serums are one of skincare's greatest champions – saving the faces of women everywhere. Whether you need extra moisture, redness-reducing ingredients or brightening action, serums can totally deliver the goods. But wouldn't it be great if you could make them work even better than they already do?
According to Allure Magazine, you can help your serums (like Dermalogica – Skin Hydrating Booster) become even more potent by trapping them against your skin with a heavy moisturizer. Thick creams with natural butters, petrolatum, oils or waxes work best, so think along the lines of a product like BABOR – Perfect Combination Day Cream.
However, you don't want to do this with serums that have really potent ingredients already, like retinoids, acids, vitamin C or hydroquinone. Sealing them in with a moisturizer can potentially double their strength, which could result in irritation that you didn't sign up for. It's also not a good idea to try this method if you're prone to serious acne, as rich moisturizers in general can clog pores. But if you have normal or dry skin and basic serums, go for it! You'll be glad you did.

Great plug-in...it seems to be working fine. But I'm getting an "error message":
Backup warning on 2011-10-14 at 11:14:38: file 'uploads.zip' exceeds 40 percent of your PHP memory limit. The limit must be increased to back up this file.
It still appears to complete (the backup)- but is this a problem? I downloaded the TPC Memory Usage plug in...and it says my PHP Memory Limit is 128MB (plenty enough) and my wordpress memory limit is 32MB. Is this Ok? I'm still not sure what it should be, if it needs to be changed at all...or how to change it.
Many thanks!

Picture PerfectReviewed on 6/15/2015 christi b
We had our wedding and reception at Canopy Creek Farm and it was absolutely perfect! The entire property is gorgeous and the barn is amazing. I am not from the area but was looking for a site somewhere in between my family and my husband's. I was looking for something country... Read More that would allow me to have exactly what I wanted and that's exactly what I got. The staff was so easy to work with and always made sure that my dream vision of the day came true. Even my husband had doubts about some of my ideas working out but the staff was quick to make it happen with no difficulty at all. My wedding was even more perfect than I could have imagined. I've had so many compliments from my guests and even my other vendors telling me that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've ever been to. Our wedding was down by the creek and a horse and carriage brought me down then carried my husband and I away after the ceremony. The staff was so helpful in making sure that all went off without error and I even snuck in without anyone getting a peak at me before I was able to walk down the aisle. I absolutely cannot say enough about this location. The beauty, the style and the staff make this the perfect place for a wedding and/or reception. If you haven't gone to see it yet, go. We made the trip and I will never regret it.
My wedding day was absolutely perfect! We had our wedding by the pond and the reception inside the barn. The staff was very friendly professional. We have received nothing but positive feedback from our guests. My dream wedding came true and it couldn't have been better, thanks... Read More in part to Canopy Creek Farm!
Everything I Ever WantedReviewed on 5/08/2015 Sarah C
The barn and land is beyond beautiful! I fell in love with it the first day we saw it. Danette (owner) and Misty (manager) were wonderful to work with. They made sure everything was how I pictured it. Absolutely pleased with our experience!
I've search for the past 3 months for a wedding venue.. I came across Canopy Creek and absolutely fell in love with it! It covered the whole "barn/country chic" look!The atmosphere was just so comforting and fun. Not to mentionMisty is a great person to deal with. I was so... Read More nervous to decide on the date because of the day of the week it feel on but Misty just made me feel so great about it & let me know if I ever just needed someone to talk about the wedding to I could call her. She made my day! Everything about canopy creek was easy to understand( hours we had/ provided dressing rooms/open catering) I can't wait to share my big day at Canopy Creek & I know my fiancé is excited as well! I know our family/friends are thrilled about it!
Congratulations! We are so happy you found Canopy Creek Farm and booked with us! Misty said it has been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to helping you create your magical wedding day.
My daughter's wedding is in April 2017 and we already know we picked the perfect location. Misty has been top-notch to work with and her vendor recommendations have been spot on. We can't wait for the day to get here to see all our planning come to life. Beautiful place -... Read More great customer service!
We absolutely LOVED our venue!! I was in love with it by just the pictures online. The owners and Misty were amazing to work with. She helped us with a floor plan and options that we could do that would work out nicely. Any questions that arose, she always responded to us right... Read More away! I also loved that they were very laid back and not very strict, as other venues were! The property is very beautiful and has many photo opportunities. Plus the horses were adorable!!
Canopy Creek was amazing to work with both leading up to and on our wedding day. They had staff on site to assist in setup and throughout the evening and even drove my photographers and myself around the property to take photos. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was... Read More and I could not have picked a more perfect place to get married!
We loved Canopy Creek Farm. Misty is great to work with. The reception venue was super easy to decorate (because it is already beautiful). I loved the rustic feel and everyone was so helpful! Our pictures around the lodge are beautiful!
Absolutely BeautifulReviewed on 1/25/2016 Cori
I had my reception at Canopy Creek Farm during January. Misty Fortkamp, who works at the farm, was amazing! She worked with my mother and I on the floor plan, ideas, gathering resources, etc. She was very helpful and great to work with. We ended up hiring Misty for the day of... Read More the wedding to arrange our displays, centerpieces, and just to make the barn look and feel just as I had imagined. She went beyond what I was expecting, it was absolutely stunning! I had about 200 people, including the wedding party, attend the reception at the barn. It supposedly fits up to 250, but if you have more than 19 10-round tables, which I had 19 tables, I would look into inviting less or at other venues. At 19 tables plus a head table it was rather tight and a very hot. Also, this venue only provides tables and chairs. Everything else is up to you to provide. I loved having so much freedom to customize the event, but it is A LOT more work! A LOT! Just know what you are getting into and understand you will have to pay more for the vendor clean up since you have to have everything out of Canopy Creek Farm by 1:00AM the day of the wedding.
Canopy Creek Farm is beautiful. We got married on October 16th, 2015 and it was the perfect venue for our fall wedding. We got married by the pond and had our reception in the barn. There were also many great places to take pictures on the property. I would not change a single... Read More thing. The staff was friendly and very helpful. If you're looking for a country chic venue, I would 100% recommend Canopy Creek Farm.
We had our ceremony and reception at Canopy Creek Farm and it was amazing! The staff was great to work with and helped make our day extra special. The overall look of the place and beautiful exterior scenery is exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue.
I had my wedding at Canopy Creek this September and it was picture perfect! The venue is beautiful, full of different options for a ceremony site and flexible to where you want to set up at. The inside of the barn is brand new, with heat and air conditioning (something I was... Read More concerned about!) The only downfalls were we could not get into the venue until the day of the wedding to set up. They are also pretty hard to make appointments with as they are so busy. When making a rehearsal time, they told me nothing was available after 5pm. Which is insane because people work! very frustrating and they were unwilling to work with me for many time restraints. Overall the place is great, they just need more flexibility when working with brides.
Canopy CreekReviewed on 8/24/2015 Becky G
Beautiful venue and very helpful staff!!
This venue is absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. The chairs and tables that they provide were very nice. Little decoration is needed because the barn itself is so lovely. We had planned on getting married outside but got rained out. The inside ceremony worked just as... Read More beautifully. I took one star off because of staff issues. When we went to see the venue again a few months before our event, the staff member on property was extremely unhelpful and cold. We did meet with Misty (the event coordinator) for our final panning meeting and she was very helpful. I was excited to have her there the day of the wedding as was discussed, and was disappointed to find she was not. The staff member that was there the night our our wedding was a younger girl who literally sat in the office and did nothing at all. I would have expected her to at least come out of the office once of twice to see if there was anything we needed or how everything was going.
I'm so glad you were happy with our venue and Misty, but I'm sorry our other staff members did not meet your expectations. If you would like to contact me personally to help me understand what we need to do better, please call 937-689-7477. Thank... Read Less Read More
Beautiful VenueReviewed on 7/06/2015 Erin H
The venue is beautiful and worked perfectly when we ended up getting rained out on our wedding day. Misty is AMAZING. She is super responsive and so helpful. She was a joy to work with through the whole planning process. We were disappointed by the onsite person with us at the... Read More end of the night, she was rude and short with our family and my husband. However, alll in all we had a wonderful experience with Canopy Creek.
Perfect! The barn and grounds are absolutely beautiful and staff was easy to work with and very responsive. We couldn't have chosen a better place for our wedding.
Beautiful!Reviewed on 4/11/2015 Chelsea A
As soon as I saw pictures of Canopy Creek, I knew it was the place where I wanted to get married and share memories with my family. Misty was, and continues to be, absolutely wonderful! She is friendly and understanding and is willing to help with anything! It's an absolutely... Read More gorgeous venue and I can't wait to share mine and my fiance's special day with our families at this place! :)
Beautiful place but the people were hard to work withReviewed on 1/04/2015 Abby J
The barn is absolutely beautiful. They thought of almost everything when building the place. You don't need a lot of other decorations because it is so pretty inside. The only complaint I have is with the people running it rather than the place itself. They were very nice and... Read More accommodating to get you in the door however the day of the wedding they were going back on their word. They even came up to me, the bride, during the reception to complain about how late they had to stay. The complained when we asked them to turn down the lights. They talked to my mom and mother-in-law like children at the end of the night when we were cleaning up. The place is beautiful and I loved my reception there but they were very unprofessional the day/night of the wedding and I will warn people before booking because of that.
The Perfect Venue!Reviewed on 12/08/2014 Rachel F
Everyone at Canopy Creek was wonderful and helped the wedding go off without a hitch! They always answered my questions promptly which helps with the stress of planning a wedding. The venue itself was gorgeous. We got married on a snowy day in November, and the pictures... Read More turned out AMAZING! I choose this venue because it was beautiful before the decorations! There was plenty of space for the guests during the ceremony and reception. My husband and I loved it! We would choose Canopy Creek all over again.
Perfect rustic setting!Reviewed on 11/16/2014 Sara S
We just had our wedding reception here on November 1,2014. The venue is exceptional! So picture perfect and brand new! The venue is lovely even before you decorate it. They chose tasteful colors that match with any color palette. That is what I liked best. There is no ugly... Read More floral carpet to contend with. No brass fixtures that look outdated and even the chairs that are provided are pretty without any extra bows or coverings. I highly recommend this venue if you want a rustic, vintage, or shabby chic venue. Danette and everyone else associated with the venue are very easy to work with! Oh and there are even real horses running around in the pasture next to the venue! It really can't get much better!!
Beautiful Country Chic Wedding Venue in Dayton, OHReviewed on 10/23/2014 Krista D
We feel so fortunate to have discovered this beautiful new venue when we did! The exterior and interior of the barn are absolutely breathtaking, and the layout of the venue was very well thought out! We love the fact that we're able to choose our own caterer, bartenders, etc.... Read More and that Canopy Creek is in close proximity to hotels for our guests. The inside of the barn is so pretty that we hardly have to bring in any decorations and the Canopy Creek staff have all been great to work with so far! If you're thinking about getting married in the Dayton area, I would highly recommend checking out Canopy Creek! We're having a Fall 2014 wedding reception here and I cannot wait for all of our guests to see this venue!
Fantastic, versatile place to have a wedding!!!Reviewed on 10/21/2014 Katherine H
Canopy Creek Farm was even better than I imagined! The staff were so helpful answering questions both on the wedding day and throughout the planning process. They made me feel like they truly cared how my day went. They were available when needed, but remained professionally in... Read More the background the rest of the time. The venue itself is very versatile. I didn't have to worry about elderly guests having access to anything, and didn't have to have the additional cost of a dance floor. It is beautiful both inside and out and will HIGHLY recommend the venue to anyone in the future:)
Beautiful venueReviewed on 10/14/2014 Krischelle P
Brides: Do not finalize any venue site until you have seen this location. As soon as I walked through the doors of this venue, I immediately knew that 'THIS WAS THE ONE!'. As of 5 hours ago, I have officially booked Canopy Creek Farm as my venue with Ms. Misty Fortkamp for... Read More my April 2016 wedding. Location: Wedding pictures featured on Pinterest, Google and TheKnot, does not give this location justice. I highly encourage you to visit this spot in person and then make your decision. Personnel: My second hope for you, is for you to get a chance to meet Misty. She is wonderful, knowledgeable and is a true asset to the Canopy Creek family. I feel comfort in knowing that she will be of assistance for this important occasion of mine. Lastly, when you visit this venue, bring a couple of very important people with you. In my case, it helped having a second, third and fourth opinion. Namely my mother, sister and sister-in-law. All agreed and verified that this spot has significantly exceeded our expectations. P.S. The 2016 calendar for this venue is starting to fill up. I suggest you contact them at 937-602-5867 or email at [email protected] and set up an appointment. Good luck!
Love love love this place!Reviewed on 10/10/2014 ashley b
I just recently reviewed canopy creek farm and I instantly fell in love with it! Misty was wonderful and showed me different ideas like the layout, ceremony ideas, and what brides have done in the past. While viewing the venue I actually ran into a father of the groom that was... Read More having their wedding that day and he said the staff was very accommodating and that everything had went smoothly and wonderful! I'm definitely booking my wedding at canopy creep farm within the next few days! But if you like it you better book fast because the dates book up quick!
Love, love, love this venueReviewed on 10/03/2014 Lindsey W
Our wedding is in a few weeks but we booked with Canopy Creek before it was finished (last September) and today I had the opportunity to see the finished product (decorated for a wedding to boot!) It is gorgeous. It is the perfect venue for couples who are looking for the... Read More country chic vibe but also great for a more traditional reception like ours. The venue is classic and timeless, even though it is brand new! So glad we found the perfect place :)

Friday Jan. 23, 2009
MONTREAL (AP) -- The executive board of the NHL Players' Association turned down an opportunity to reopen the collective bargaining agreement with the NHL on Friday, ensuring hockey labor peace through the 2010-11 season.
The union had until May to decide, but chose to make the announcement early during NHL All-Star weekend. The players' association can extend the deal, which ended the yearlong lockout in 2005, for another season if it chooses. That determination won't have to be made until May 2011.
