Nearly 2,900 people are employed at the fort, located between Sparta and Tomah. That amounts to about $124 million for civilian and military personnel. Operating costs include new construction, maintenance, utilities and supplies.
The fort says it used a gross multiplier index of 3.2 was used to determine the overall effect of the expenditures in the local economy.
The economic impact is down slight from $1.3 billion in the last fiscal year.

Post-Work Prep Kit2 of 14
First things first. If I'm going out in public after an eight-hour work day, I'm going to need to freshen up a bit. This make-up bag is perfect for carrying all the tools I'll need to get gussied up in the office bathroom before heading out to meet my friends.
SHOP NOW: Tory Burch Cosmetic Case, $65
Hair Help3 of 14
Now for the tools in my (attempt to) look-hot-for-happy-hour kit: As one of those people who is always touching her hair, mine can get a little, well, greasy by the end of the day. This dry shampoo will make my mane go from needing-a-good-wash to tousled-and-tossed in no time.
SHOP NOW: Klorane Dry Shampoo, $7.50
Toe Touch-Up4 of 14
Since it's summer, I'll likely throw on some sandals for going out (specifics on this coming up). But my pedicure gets chipped by my work shoes, so I need a quick-dry polish for touch-ups if I'm going to expose my toes.
SHOW NOW: Maybelline Express Finish Polish, $3.49
Lip Duo5 of 14
I actually own this double-duty lip gloss and it never fails to give my look a needed pick-me-up. Lip stain on one side (which can also be used as liquid blush) and shine on the other, this product is one of my all-time favorites.
SHOP NOW: Benefit Pocket Pal, $20
Eye Glam6 of 14
And what's a night out without some added zing in your eye make-up? I love this dual brown shadow because, as our Beauty Editor, Abby, tells me, it works well not only with a variety of skin tones, but also with almost any color I choose to wear outfit-wise. Plus, I'm a sucker for shimmer, which this shadow clearly has.
SHOP NOW: NARS Duo Eyeshadow, $32
Ideal Dress7 of 14
To go from day to night, I'll need a dress that I can wear to the office as well as out to the pub. This one would work well with a sweater and heels for a day at work, and could transition to an evening on a rooftop lounge or chic wine bar with just a few key accessories.
SHOP NOW: Cleo Belted Dress, $490
Fab Flats8 of 14
Ah, here are those aformentioned sandals. I prefer to stroll over to happy hour on foot, and these are perfect because they are casual (and comfortable!) enough to walk in. Also, since these sandals have a little shine to them, they'll add a little nighttime-y aura to my dress.
SHOP NOW: Madison Sandals, $45
Accent Piece9 of 14
Also helping me transition my dress into happy hour territory is some jewelry. I like this piece for an outdoor or more laid-back locale.
SHOP NOW: Coldwater Creek Necklaces, from $36
Zing Bling10 of 14
And these more sparkly earrings are perfect for a dressier venue.
SHOP NOW: Galene Crystal Earrings, $68
Memory Taker11 of 14
Because I am a huge nerd, I will probably bring a camera to happy hour. Yes, my friends may be embarrassed that I am taking pictures of them, in a crowded bar, as they sip their glasses of wine, but they'll thank me for capturing gleeful images of our youth later in life when we're too tired to go out at night.
SHOP NOW: Olympus Stylus Tough 3000, $185
So Clutch12 of 14
Before going out, I'll also want to transfer my essentials — ID, credit card, phone, camera, lipgloss — into a small purse like this one, so I don't have to carry my briefcase into the bar. (Awkward! And not so chic.)
SHOP NOW: Gleeful Clutch from Antropologie, $162
Prep Reading13 of 14
Sometimes I get stuck in a drink rut ... and by "sometimes" I mean I pour over the cocktail menu for 15 minutes and then just order the "house Cab, please" almost every time I go out. I'd like to study my options to help me break this routine. Plus, in this economy, it's good to host a happy hour at home from time to time — these recipes can assist me.
SHOP NOW: Spice & Ice by Kara Newman, $12
Now, It's Your Turn!14 of 14
I used my Glo Scrapbook to create a work-to-happy-hour game plan — what will you use yours for?

State Board of Education was recently notified that
222 Illinois teachers achieved national certification
this year from the National Board for Professional
Teaching Standards.
state ranked ninth in the number of national certificates
issued in 2002. With a total of 569 National Board
Certified Teachers (NBCTs), Illinois also ranks ninth
among the states.
teachers have completed a very rigorous process to
achieve this prestigious acknowledgement of their professional
ability," said State Superintendent of Education
Robert E. Schiller. "In addition to the recognition,
the extensive certification process helps these individuals
improve their teaching, it enables them to help their
fellow teachers explore new classroom skills and it
yields greater student achievement."
are very pleased with this substantial increase in
National Board Certified Teachers, and we hope to see
similar increases in the future."
General Assembly, the Governor and the State Board
of Education have placed a high priority on increasing
the number of nationally certified teachers. The effort
got a substantial boost this year through a $3 million
appropriation increase, bringing the Fiscal Year 2003
appropriation to $4.075 million , up from $1.075 million
in FY 2002. At the same time, legislation was passed
to increase the state stipend for NBCTs from a one-time
payment of $3,000 to an annual payment of $3,000, subject
to yearly appropriations.
addition to the stipend, the state appropriation funds
the $2,300 cost of completing the certification process.
NBCTs can receive additional state support by mentoring
other teachers. Some school districts also provide
additional incentives for teachers to seek National
Board Certification.

Certificates must be renewed every five years by completing

1st question: Does any one know how much sleep 4.5 mo olds are supposed to get?? My lo only wants to nap for a max of 30-45 minutes and sometimes she even catnaps for only 15-20. This is a drastic change in the last month when she used to nap for 1-2 hours. It seems to me that she would need to nap longer than she is right now, even though she seems to be in a good mood most of the time even after a short nap. Any thoughts? I tried today to make sure i fed her before putting her down for a nap thinking that she was waking up prematurely b/c of a hungry belly...but she still woke up after 20 minutes.
Should i be concerned?

I've been in a bit of a creative slump lately. Now, that's not the end of the world… unless you write a weekly message, a daily blog post, a host of articles and you're trying to put together a book proposal. In that case, it's kind of miserable.
But I've recently had a bit of a breakthrough of sorts. When in a creative slump I've often thought of it as a "block." If you camped outside of my office long enough you would probably hear me yell in desperation, "I've got writer's block!!!"
But that's not really true.
Anne Lamott said, "The word block suggests that you are constipated or stuck, when the truth is that you're empty."
"Stuck" suggests that you need to try harder.
"Empty" prompts you to fill up.
Understanding my creative slump as the result of being empty gives me the permission to engage in the activities that fill me up.
Watch a movie.
Take a walk.
Play with the kids.
Call a friend.
And this is working a lot better than "trying harder."
What do you do when you hit a creative slump?
What fills you up?

Can anyone fill me in on this? It sounded like it was in Queensland.
There has always been these kind of mutterings about but if this is now going to be definite does anyone know what it is going to cover??? If it is just puppy farmers, that's great!! If registered breeders are going to get caught up in the net...hmmmm???
Qld State Government are introducing legislation to help stamp out Puppy Farmers.
In essence, it is a great piece of legislation, however, it falls short in one area.
Where breeders currently registered with Dogs Queensland, this has little impact and in fact, the requirements of breeders is based on the requirements of Dogs Queensland breeder registration. Breeders currently registered with Dogs Queensland only require to obtain an ID number with the State Government, which will more than likely be issued to them free - all else remains basically the same. Registered breeders puppies continue to be registered in the same manner as currently required.
Unregistered breeders will be subject to fees and charges to obtain their ID number and register puppies etc. They will be given requirements and regulations to adhere to and will be prosecuted if necessary.
The problem arises with the fact that the proposed legislation only requires breeders with 10 or more dogs to obtain a Breeders ID number and therefore fall under the regulations to be imposed. They've only gone halfway.
Even 9 dogs can contribute greatly to the same problems we have currently with naive or irresponsible backyard breeders and the smaller puppy farms. This leaves plenty of loopholes for the continuation of abhorrent practices and the only way the new legislation can have a proper affect on the overall situation is to delete any reference to the number of dogs owned. Their initial outline of the legislation was to cover 'any breeder, whether acidental or intentional' with no reference to the number of dogs owned or utilised in breeding practices.
If you even remotely care about these poor puppies, please take 5 minutes to have your say on the proposed legislation to regulate the large scale breeding of dogs in intensive breeding establishments. We believe the legislation should cover ALL breeders, accidental or otherwise and there should be no stipulation as to the number of dogs owned, because naive or irresponsible backyard breeders are as much of a problem as puppy farmers. If you agree, you can express your opinion in the comments section of the form. Closes 5th March Follow this link http://www.getinvolv...n/315/view.html

Andrew Wakefield Fights Back
Dr. Andrew Wakefield was almost single-handedly responsible for frightening the public about a possible association between autism and the MMR vaccine. His alarmist recommendations directly led to lower vaccination rates and a resurgence of measles to endemic levels in the UK. The MMR/autism interpretation of his 1998 article in The Lancet was retracted by 10 of his 12 co-authors. The article itself was "fully retracted from the public record" by The Lancet. And now Wakefield has lost his license to practice medicine after the General Medical Council's exhaustive 2½-year review of his ethical conduct.
His career was in shreds and there was only one way left for him to fight back: to write a book. Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines — The Truth Behind a Tragedy has just been published. I tried hard to read it with an open mind and to understand his point of view. He did make some points that I will accept as valid unless they can be refuted by the others involved. Some of what he said and did was apparently misinterpreted and distorted by his critics. But the book did not convince me that he was an ethical, rigorous scientist or that MMR is linked to autism or to bowel disease. In my opinion the book does nothing to scientifically validate his beliefs or to excuse his behavior, but rather boils down to self-serving apologetics and misleading rhetoric. It also undermines his claim that he is a good scientist by showing that he values anecdotal evidence ("listening to the parents") over experimental evidence. (more…)

Nine airlines reported an increase in passengers in April 2011 compared to April 2010, as a total of 680,604 scheduled passengers were enplaned and deplaned at the airport for the month, compared to April 2010, which had a total of 667,372 passengers (680,604 passengers in April 2011/667,372 passengers in April 2010; 2.0 percent increase). "We are realizing an increase in flights at Pittsburgh International Airport due to the increased demand from the origination traffic. Our fares are lower and passengers are taking advantage of all the options offered by our airlines," said Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director/CEO, Allegheny County Airport Authority. Southwest (133,511/122,581; 8.9 percent) reported an increase of close to 11,000 passengers while American (48,669/38,653; 25.9 percent) reported an increase of more than 10,000 passengers. Other airlines that reported gains were: Delta (118,374/115,524; 2.5 percent), United (64,696/63,027; 2.6 percent), Continental (40,271/38,922; 3.5 percent), JetBlue (17,731/16,392; 8.2 percent), Skywest (6,405/5,837; 9.7 percent), Air Canada (3,161,/2,549; 24.0 percent) and Myrtle Beach Direct Air (2,151/1,757; 22.4 percent). US Airways, which is the largest airline in terms of passengers at the airport, reported a 6.4 percent decrease in traffic (163,268/174,385; 6.4 percent). AirTran (78,775/81,479; 3.3 percent), and Frontier (3,592/6,266; 42.7 percent), which previously operated as Midwest, also reported decreases in traffic. Year-to-date totals show scheduled traffic up 5.8 percent (2,525,819/2,386,398; 5.8 percent). US Airways (656,008/644,116; 1.8 percent), Southwest (494,489/441,577; 12.0 percent), and Delta (406,717/391,690; 3.8 percent), the top three airlines in terms of numbers of passengers at the airport, have all reported increases in traffic for 2011. Travelers Advisory: With increased traffic and the heavy summer travel months just ahead, the Allegheny County Airport Authority is reminding travelers to arrive at Pittsburgh International Airport at least 90 minutes to two hours before the scheduled departure of their flight. The Airport Authority reports that there are two security checkpoints at Pittsburgh International Airport. The Main Checkpoint -- on the Transit Level of the Landside Terminal – is open 24 hours, while the Alternate Checkpoint – located just outside of the Ticketing Level of the Landside Terminal – is open from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Not on view
Guy Dill continued drawing on the experiments of his predecessors by focusing his sculptural inquiries on specific architectural elements. By creating a work like Untitled, which relies directly on the ceiling and walls for its installation, Dill took the active step of recruiting the architecture to define the sculpture. The use of unworked elements in his sculpture—in this case, rope and wood—provided the artist with a sense of purity, as he felt that "raw materials bring you closer to an idea." He preferred to rely on the natural state of his materials, feeling that their colors and surfaces infused his compositions with a certain complexity and energy.

Big Island Rep. Faye Hanohano apologized Thursday on the House floor about racial slurs she made this week about the artwork in her office.
The incident happened while state workers were installing the art on Monday.
A senior exhibit specialist with the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts wrote a letter to his boss complaining about Hanohano's behavior.
The letter reads, "... the Representative came out of her personal office and began a tirade on how 'ugly' the artwork was and why weren't artworks being installed in her office done by Native Hawaiian artists."
The letter says the workers answered her politely, but were addressed with "culturally insensitive and racist criticisms."
The letter also says Hanohano threatened to cut funding to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts if she didn't get any artwork done by Native Hawaiian artists.
Hanohano, who is of Native Hawaiian ancestry, said on the House floor she is committed to representing all people in the state. She spoke in both English and Hawaiian.
The following is a statement of apology from Rep. Hanohano:
"First and foremost, I'd like to express my sincere apology to any individuals or groups who may have been offended by my comments. Clearly comments that were intended to be an impassioned plea for increasing the visibility and support for Native Hawaiian artists were expressed in a manner that did not accurately reflect their intent, sentiment or the integrity of this office. I accept full responsibility for this unfortunate incident and, again, I apologize.
My office has already reached out to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to assist us in obtaining additional training for all of our staff. We are committed to taking immediate steps to ensure that an incident like this never happens again.
I will also be reaching out to the State Foundation for Culture and the Arts to attempt to rebuild and improve that relationship. I stand firm in my position that individuals who serve in state leadership positions should be thoroughly educated and informed on the history and native culture of Hawai'i. I am hopeful that this unfortunate incident can serve as a platform for improving dialogue and cross-cultural relationships between state departments."
House speaker Joe Souki said, "I absolutely do not condone this type of offensive language and behavior by anyone. I have spoken to Representative Hanohano and emphasized that this is not in keeping with the spirit of the House of Representatives. She will be sending a letter of apology to the State Foundation on Culture and Arts Exhibit team specialists. As Speaker of the House I have also extended my sincerest apology to the members of the Exhibit team."
State Foundation on Culture and the Arts Executive Director Eva Laird Smith says the artwork depicts nature scenes in Hawaii and was previously approved by Hanohano's office manager.

The Brooklyn Bum and Hilda Chester video
Congratulations to Andre Ethier on his first grand slam!
Boy, first the Dodgers are winning 10-3 and then the final score ended up 10-8. Russ Ortiz could not finish the game. Wish we still had Eric Stults. We get chicken wings from Claim Jumper when the Dodgers score 10 runs but as much as I would love the chicken wings, I rather keep the ticket.
Ok, so finally got the video that my brother Vic took of Erik and I dressed as the Brooklyn Bum and Hilda Chetster. The was the first and only take so stumble thru it. My brother ran into a car while walking and recording the video.
Apologies for the singing. We should have been given a chance to redo it!
Wish you could see the Brooklyn Bum flower. It has a petal marked with each year since 1988.

after seeing 3 guys in a jackie robinson jersey at PNC Park last night it really make me want to research some of the history of the man and the Brooklyn baseball heritage. this vid inspired me too!
The Dodgers' outfield is positively terrifying. Ethier, a thirty homerun threat, Manny, who is still a legit 25 HR guy, and Matt Kemp, one of the two best outfielders in THE GAME. It makes me glad I'm not in the NL😉
Hey Emma!
It was great to see you and Victor! Too bad our boys couldn't cooperate and win the game (or even get a run!) When you get a chance, e-mail me those pictures; I'd like to forward to my mom so she can have it! 🙂
Glad you are having fun!! Your guys are doing so well. I caught a bit of the game a few days ago. Your outfield is incredible!!
Glad the video inspired you and seeing fans with the JAckie Robinson jersey. I love reading baseball history!
Yep the three Dodgers outfielders are a big thread. Is our pitching that is suspect. Is frustraiting to see the starters not going beyong 5 1/3 inning.
Let me catch up with things and I'll send you the pics. Probably tonight I will send them to you. Today after the game, a group of us from the Top Deck are meeting at a local restaurant in Burbank.
Love the boys in the outfield! Kemp, Ethier and Manny! Good thing you watch the other day and not last night when the Freak shut the hitting.
LOL Peter!
I was runnin out of breath as we were walking and singing. We should have had a second take!
Great video, Hilda! (I mean Emma. LOL.) I loved the song and your outfit – especially the shoes and socks! Very cute. Btw, you asked on my blog about the Yanks-Dodgers series in June. I'm trying to go to the Sat game, but the prices on StubHub are insane. Maybe they'll go down as the game gets closer? If you know of anyone selling tickets, let me know. On StubHub, they're asking $200 a ticket for seats in the upper upper deck. No way!
Great video… and I am surprised no-one came up and asked for your autographs or even offered you a part in a movie…
Phillies Outside
I absolutely love it! Great job! I wish more fans went to such extremes to show their team love! You should see the smile I'm wearing after watching that, Emma. *High Five!*
(pushing back my chair….standing up….clapping like crazy!!!)
Bravo!! Hilda Chester could not have done it better!
…and tell VinScullyismyHomeboy I've been reading… just haven't commented yet.
Awesome song! I loved it! You always go all out, and I admire that!
, I AM a Dodger fan and feel that I would love to enjoy this opportunity beacsue I WANT to. Dodger stadium has always been a home away from home for most die hard fans like myself and I have yet to be able to experience such a wonderful opportunity like this one. I want to open up the eyes of my roommate (He's never been to a baseball game let alone a Dodger game) to how awesome this sport is and, mainly, how much Dodger fans make you feel like you're part of a family and how the players make you feel like you're part of their brotherhood. I would appreciate it very much to be able to be considered for this sweepstakes and would love to go and support our team, once again. Please pick me.
Awesome video Emma, congrats for today win !
Thanks Jeff! We aim to please! *High Five!* back at ya!
Thanks Mike! I thought you would like that even though we messed up on the song.
It is a beautiful song. We'll do better next time singing it!
Oh Rob! That was such a great win! El Maniaco came thru!
Hey Bluedog! Good to read you again! You should have been at the stadium!
LOL What a great song! Y'all look great! Glad you're representing so well🙂
Hmm i wish the angels had a song…. lol
Thanks Mimi!
It is a great song even if we butchered it. Really? No Angel song? There must be one.
EMMA – Great Video! Love the song and nope it was not butchered! Keep up your great enthusiasm…GOOOO DODGERS!
thanks Rosie! Isnt that a great song! You got it! GOOOO DODGERS! A great win yesterday! El Maniaco came thru!
Andre Ethier is a beast! How can he be that good!? Honestly, before the season started I would have wanted Matt Kemp on my team. But now, I don't know. Ethier is just too tough to get out! You are lucky to have him, for sure.
Andre was a steal from Oakland. Best trade by Ned. No way I would let him go from my Fantasy team.
That was a great song Emma "Follow the Dodgers" I remember it well and still sing it.
Thanks for sharing.
OBF! I L O V E the song! and we will do an encore this year on Opening Day! I can't wait! Thanks for commenting!

How do you feel about towns using the Department of Defense Surplus?
In recent weeks, Long Hill Township and Watchung Borough passed ordinances allowing their police departments to be able to apply for surplus equipment from the Department of Defense. Long Hill recently procured a Humvee to use in times of flooding, which Watchung states as the reason they are getting into the program. However, in cities around the country, police forces have used the program to obtain military gear, such as weapons and armor.

text: Statement by MTA President Anne Wass on Race to the Top The US Department of Education announced today that just two states, Delaware and Tennessee, will be awarded grants from the federal Race to the Top proposal in the first round. From an initial applicant pool of 40 states, Massachusetts had been named one of 16 finalists. Massachusetts will have a chance to reapply for a second round of grant funding. That deadline is June 1. Below is a statement by MTA President Anne Wass. "We have already reached out to state education officials and asked to work with them in developing our state's second-round proposal for Race to the Top grant funds. As the state with the highest performing students in the country, Massachusetts is well positioned to take the next great step forward in reducing the achievement gaps that still persist among students. We hope that federal policymakers reward collaboration in this next round and that they respect the desire of states, districts and classroom teachers to develop school improvement strategies that meet the particular needs of their students."

America the Beautiful: While You Were at War
Sierra Club takes military personnel on expedition through Glacier National Park to study climate change and learn about the environment in the country they served
(SAN FRANCISCO – September 5,
2012) – Sierra Club Mission Outdoors, in
partnership with Extreme Ice Survey (EIS), introduced eight United States
military veterans to climate change exploration through a seven-day excursion in
Glacier National Park in Montana. The climate reconnaissance team
was led by OIF
veteran and Sierra Club Mission Outdoors Director Stacy Bare, EIS Director and
filmmaker James Balog and world class
mountaineer and The North Face athlete Conrad Anker. The expedition took place August 11 – 18 and was filmed for a
documentary to be released next year.
Military veterans have a unique perspective on what it means to protect, preserve and defend the nation. Participants were selected by the Sierra Club based on combat and service experiences in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other US conflicts. A hands-on outdoor experience, the group set out to explore whether or not climate change is taking place by taking ice measurements and core samples, and mapping fast-disappearing glaciers. However, due to an unexpected excess volume of snow, they instead focused on comparing their observations to data collected in 2006. The group also climbed a major peak along the Continental Divide.
"As service members, we fought for our land, our waterways, and our environment, as much as we fought for anything else," said OIF veteran and Sierra Club Mission Outdoors Director Stacy Bare. "This mission solidifies the relationship between serving our country in uniform and protecting the land."
"It was a privilege and an eye-opening experience to guide a team of veterans through Glacier National Park," said Conrad Anker, The North Face athlete. "Climbing involves a heavy dose of trust and team work, and it was a cathartic experience for everyone on the mountain. The vets clearly enjoyed being part of a small team in a challenging, non-combat situation. Hopefully more vets will get outdoors and find solace in the land they fought to defend."
"This trip was a combination of leadership, science and camaraderie all wrapped up in a nice outdoor setting," said Tyree T., OEF and OIF veteran. "I gained more of an appreciation of the outdoors and learned lessons that I can share with friends and family."
Sierra Club's Mission Outdoors is committed to creating opportunities for those who served our country and their families to experience the freedom of the land they defended. Time spent outside is advantageous to veterans healing and reintegrating at home; veterans will also rediscover the beauty of our country's open spaces and wild places.
The North Face, Veterans Expeditions, and Black Diamond contributed significant gear, funding, and outdoor expertise to the expedition.

Rustic Peach Galette
It's that time again for Secret Recipe Club reveals! If you haven't yet joined this group, it's pretty awesome. This is my second month, and this month I was assigned the blog, Barefeet in the Kitchen. Mary is a great cook, and all her recipes look delicious and wholesome.
I chose to make her recipe for Peach Galette. I have wanted to make a galette for a long time now. What a perfect opportunity. I loved the simplicity of this recipe, and the rustic appearance. And the taste? Amazing! Exactly what I had hoped for! Thanks Mary!
Rustic Peach Galette
by Shugary SweetsPrep Time: 30 minutesCook Time: 50 minutesKeywords: bake dessert peaches galette
Ingredients (6 servings)
For the Crust:
For the Filling:
- 2 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 3/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/3 cup water (very cold)
InstructionsCombine flour, salt and sugar in mixer bowl. Add cold cubed butter and mix with paddle attachment until dough is crumbly. Slowly add cold water and mixing until dough comes together.Wrap dough in saran wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. While chilling, wash and slice peaches. I kept the skin on because I like the way it looks (and tastes). You can certainly peel yours if you like. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar evenly over the peaches, set aside.Roll dough out into a 14in circle. I made mine rectangular, about 15x9. Brush with half of the melted butter, then layer on the peaches. Leave room along the edges to fold over the dough. Brush the edges of the dough, after being folded, with butter. Sprinkle with the raw sugar. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 375 degrees. Bake for about 35 minutes. Remove and cool slightly. Delicious with whipped cream or ice cream! Enjoy!

Eyeshadow Depotting Tutorial: How To Depot Sephora Kat Von D Beethoven Palette – No Heat!
I don't know why there isn't any tutorial on the depotting of the Sephora Kat Von D Beethoven Palette. I mean, it can't be that everyone who owns a Kat Von D palette loves ALL the colors, right?. Well, from what I read from reviews, not a single person liked every single eyeshadow. There are always at least a couple or more that are not as good in quality as the others.
For me, the Kat Von D Beethoven Palette only has 2 eyeshadow colors that I like and use. The others are ~bleah~. Check out a full review of the Sephora Kat Von D Beethoven Palette here.
Many months ago I started searching online for tutorials on how to depot the Kat Von D eyeshadows. There are risks to be taken when one depots eyeshadows, the most prominent one being the possible breaking of the eyeshadows. I wanted to use the safest way to depot them, but there wasn't even a single tutorial online, not on blogs, none on Youtube.
I was worried!
Were they so difficult to depot that nobody dared to try? Did people want to make tutorials out of them but ended up breaking all the eyeshadows?!! NOOOO!!! What was it that kept everyone away from making a depotting tutorial of Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palettes?
I concluded that instead of waiting around for an answer that might never come around, I thought I should just bite the bullet and make a tutorial myself.
But how?

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
page 3 of 3
The changing table should have safety straps and drawers and shelves that you can get into easily to get everything you need without having to leave your baby.
Your bath rings or seats should have suction cups that are securely fastened and can attach themselves to the surface of your tub without slipping. Even with a bath ring or seat, remember never to leave your child alone or with a sibling while in the tub.
Gates should have too small an opening for your baby's head and a pressure bar or other fastener than can resist your child's weight and pressure. Do not use an accordion style gate.
Your baby's high chair should have waist and crotch restraints independent of the tray, a tray that locks securely, a wide and stable base, caps or plugs on the tubing that your child will not be able to detach, and, if it is a folding high chair, an effective locking device so that it won't collapse with your child in it. As with all the restraints on your baby's seats, stroller, and other equipment, make sure that the high chair restraints are easy to buckle, and use them at all times.
If you have a hook on chair, it should have a restraining strap, a trustworthy clamp for locking onto the table, and caps or plugs on the tubing that your child can't detach. Never place the chair where your baby can push off with their feet, and don't leave your baby unattended while in the chair.
If any of your baby equipment does not meet these standards, find out if the missing or unsafe parts can be replaced or if the breaks or cracks can be repaired without creating a new hazard. Usually, the answer is no.

Monticello man wanted by four police agencies arrested
May 6, 2013 —
Monticello police arrested John Whitlock (31) of Monticello on Tuesday 4/30/13. Monticello police charged Whitlock with misdemeanors for petit larceny, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 7th degree and criminally possessing a hypodermic instrument.
Whitlock was also wanted by the Sullivan County Sheriffs Office on an arrest warrant for burglary in the 3rd degree and as a fugitive from justice from three separate police agencies in the state of Pennsylvania.
Monticello police had arrested Whitlock after receiving a complaint that Whitlock had shoplifted from the Rite Aid store on Broadway in Monticello. When arrested Whitlock was found to be in possession of heroin and hypodermics.
A computer check of Whitlock, following his arrest, showed that the Sullivan County Sheriffs Office wanted him on a burglary arrest warrant. The Lackawanna County Sheriffs Office, the City of Dickson's Police Department and the Taylor Borough Police Department, all in Pennsylvania, wanted him on warrants for retail theft, contempt of court and receiving stolen property.
Whitlock was arraigned before acting Village of Monticello Justice Martin Miller and remanded to the Sullivan County Jail without bail pending further court action.

The endorsement of Mitt Romney by Sheriff Paul Babeu (Pinal County, Arizona) not only speaks to Romney's tough stance on illegal immigration and securing our borders, it highlights the difference between Romney and Rick Perry on this issue.
Sheriff Babeu has also been named as a Co-Chair of Romney's Arizona campaign:
"It is an honor to have the support of Sheriff Babeu," said Mitt Romney. "His efforts working to protect our border are critical to lowering crime, reducing illegal immigration, and stopping both drug and human trafficking. Sheriff Babeu has been a leader in the call for the federal government to secure the border. As President, I will work with leaders like Sheriff Babeu to protect our Southern border, provide the required assistance from the federal government, and put an end to the magnets that cause illegal immigration."
Announcing his support, Sheriff Babeu said, "Securing our border is an important part of our national security – Mitt Romney understands this. He also understands that magnets like in-state tuition for illegal immigrants don't stop illegal immigration, they only make it worse. Of all the candidates, Mitt Romney has shown that he is the most committed to securing the border and I look forward to working with him to do this."
Background On Sheriff Babeu:
Sheriff Paul Babeu Is The Sheriff Of Pinal County In Arizona. Babeu heads a department of 700 and has worked to cut the budget, reorganize leadership, and reduce the response time from his department. Babeu has been a national leader on the need to secure our border and stop illegal immigration and drug and human trafficking. This year, Sheriff Babeu was named Sheriff of the Year by the National Sheriffs' Association. Sheriff Babeu serves as President of the Arizona Sheriffs' Association and recently retired from the Army National Guard. As an Army Major, Babeu commanded nearly 700 soldiers in the Yuma Sector and helped reduced illegal entries by 96%.
(emphasis added )
Babeu was also named one of the America's Top 10 Toughest Immigration Sheriffs, by FOX News.
The Arizona sheriff recently joined with other elected AZ sheriffs calling for a special counsel to investigate the Fast and Furious program; they called for Attorney General Eric Holder to step down or be fired.
Oct 7, 2011 – Arizona Sheriffs Call for Independent Investigation of 'Fast and Furious' Gunwalking Scandal
Ten Arizona sheriffs — five Democrat, five Republican — gathered at the Arizona State Capitol on Friday to call for an independent investigation into the "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal.
The sheriffs held a news conference in front of the Arizona Peace Officers Memorial, decrying the "bloodshed" caused by the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms bureau's poorly conceived operation.
The sheriffs insisted that a special counsel be immediately appointed "to fairly investigate Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice," according to a written statement from the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.
