Meet Photographer Karen WiseJanuary 30, 2009
Ready for some color and beauty this afternoon? I first heard about Karen Wise, who has photographed weddings, food, still life and portraits for 10+ years, via Oh Joy! and found her work some of the best I've seen. Energy, personality, emotion, she captures the most beautiful moments. A RISD graduate, Karen Wise has been featured in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Martha Stewart Weddings, Vogue (India), Time Out New York, and more and has photographed weddings from New York City (where she lives and works) to India, Mexico and beyond. Would you like to know more about her work, background, and inspirations? Read on…
decor8: Karen thank you so much for for visiting decor8 today to talk about your passion for photography. Tell us, how did you get into photography as a full-time career?
Karen: I studied Photography at RISD and received my fine arts degree (BFA) in 1996. I then moved to NYC to assist various commercial and fine art photographers and during that time started my own food and wedding photography business, while shooting my own fine art projects on the side. I assisted from 1996-1999. Then I started shooting weddings in 1999 and started my businesses simultaneously. I favored 4×5 film, both chrome and negative film, and I had a working darkroom in the basement of my last apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn for the 9 years that I lived there.
decor8: Who or what inspires your work?
Karen: Hmmm… too many photographers, films, paintings and fashion. I'd say in the earlier days, I was inspired by feminism in photography, public art, and documentary film. The artists and directors I followed included Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holtzer, Deepa Mehta. I also loved the still life or Irving Penn and Tina Modotti. I was also inspired by family portraiture in college as I was shooting an ongoing large format project documenting my own family. I like Larry Sultan's work as well as Tina Barney's work. I loved the vivid color they achieved through using studio camera and available light.
decor8: How would you describe your style?
Karen: I use blend of styles. Since I have so much experience having worked for still life, fashion and interior, and food photographers, my strengths are varied. I am good with still life, excellent at documentary photography, portraiture, and proficient with using strobe lighting as well as natural light. I'm good with a light meter, and rarely get the exposure wrong! I love to use my people skills to arrange a portrait session, but I also like to hide out and use my long lens to capture intimate and emotional moments at the wedding. Most of the wedding is spent shooting documentary style candids.
decor8: How did you develop your style?
Karen: By observing a ton of professional photographers. But also by trying every camera and lighting technique first too! I worked with Mary Ellen Mark, Sheila Metzner, Victor Schrager (for 3 years), Sandi Fellman, Sany Skogland, Anna Williams, Sang An, Steven Lewis, and Bill Abramowicz, before branching off and starting my own business…
decor8: In addition to weddings, I noticed that you're a food photographer and that you have a additional website for that. Can you please tell us more?
Karen: Yes, I'm also a food photographer, having assisted for Victor Schrager for 3 years before starting my own business (he won the James Beard award here in NYC for best food photography in a cookbook) and I learned a ton from him about shooting large format (8×10 film) and the use of strobe lighting to make an image look really natural. I shot a cookbook published by Houghton Mifflin (The Way We Cook) a couple of years ago, and I have also photographed Gourmet Magazine's editor Ruth Reichl, and 4-5 other famous chefs here in NYC and Boston (Ming Tsai of the TV show Simply Ming, Marcus Samuelsson, Michael Psilakis, etc…)
decor8: But your focus still tends to be on weddings, why?
Karen: I have no choice but to focus on Weddings! They consume me, but I love them! I like shooting weddings because they incorporate so many of my skills. I feel that my talents are multi-faceted and I am able to quickly change my style depending on the situation, the event, and the lighting at that particular event.
decor8: What are 6 things that make your work stand out?
Karen: 1. I still use film. Both black and white, and color medium format films. 2. I print my black and white and color enlargements for my portfolios by hand in a darkroom. 3. People say my color is really vivid. 4. I've been told that my color printing is impeccable, and that my color balancing is really "on". 5. I think I have a good eye for composition, lighting with strobe or available light, styling, and modeling light in both color and black & white photos. 6. I've shot many destination weddings, including my first one in India in 2003 (which was a 5 day wedding in Delhi and Udaipur). I've also shot in Jamaica, Los Cabos, Palm Beach and Cape Cod and I have a couple of weddings coming up in Malibu, The Dominican Republic, and possibly on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico. I've also shot other projects in California, Italy and India, hence I've been lucky enough to have photographed in some really unique settings.
decor8: How do you learn about new trends in photography in order to stay current?
Karen: I learn a ton from my interns who are either just out of school or currently still at Pratt or RISD! From the newest Adobe programs, and most current /quickest method of post-production (Adobe LightRoom and Aperture) to what the best external hard drives to buy are. PDN magazine is also a great source, as well as the fine art journal Aperture and American Photo Magazine. I also take classes at the ICP every now and then (the last one I took was on book publishing) and the most recent class I took was actually on Antique Photography through the Center for Alternative Photography in New York City. I'm addicted to the wet-plate process. It's not exactly au current but it's new to a lot of people. I've made some really gorgeous positives on glass and on tin in those classes, and I cannot wait for the next workshop.
decor8: And finally Karen…What things would you not want to live without?
Karen: Yoga, working out (i.e. basketball, spinning, roller-blading or skiing), scrabble, my boyfriend, my little niece's laughter, my family, knitting projects, unlimited vacation time, a warm environment, positive energy and a healthy diet (with the occasional bites of chocolate!).
Thank you so much Karen for your time, it's an honor to have a few moments to get inside of your head. Wonderful!

Psst: Karen has a blog, too!

Iceland: Visiting ReykjavikJanuary 30, 2009
Tara Hogan from INK & WIT just got back from Reykjavik and asked if she could share her take on the city with all of us today. I've long been fascinated by Iceland, it's one of those places that I imagine being really hip, really cold, and really well… off the map. We don't hear about it that much here in America as is the case I think with most countries that are relatively small and peaceful. Tara, the stage is all yours….
A new INK & WIT print inspired by her travels.
Iceland… Geothermal Bliss by Tara Hogan
I recently visited Reykjavik – the capital and largest city of Iceland often referred to as the land of ice and fire. I had been to Iceland before on a layover en route to Helsinki and back en route to JFK. It was pure sadness being trapped in the airport where I could not get out into the geothermal pools or feel the landscape. But, I knew I would be back. Two of my closest friends and I paid Iceland a visit two weeks ago. Geothermal spa soak for three, please?
Please note during this time there is minimum sunlight. The sun rose at 10AM and set at 4PM. However, if you are going to be somewhere dark most of the time this is the place as it never ceases to be beautiful or mysterious. Furthermore, I live in Syracuse, NY currently belted by snow and frigid weather. Iceland is not this cold. Some of my friends thought the weather there would be more extreme than here but this not the case. It was indeed cold at times but mostly where you have no barriers from the wind near waterfalls and state parks. You are in the great wide open. And, really in it. You stand in spots where the earth's layers were molded by lava pools.
Iceland is relatively small and has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km². It is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Iceland's landscape is defined by large-scale volcanic and geologic activity.
While this country is sadly going through an economic crisis it did not feel so two weeks ago while I was there soaking up, literally, all it had to offer us. People were pleasant and calm. The issues of economics were blasted all over the papers just like our economic crisis but there was a sense of calm. Maybe it is all the pure water they drink? And, yes, it is the purest in the world.
Nature dictates life in Iceland especially since 25% of the island is active. I think you surrender to nature when you truly understand it is bigger than you. You respect it more. You do not try to control it or run away from it. You simply know you are a part of it, good or bad, like it or not.
There is so much to say about this eco friendly island. The 18th largest island in the world. My grandest memory was our stay at the Blue Lagoon (shown above). The Blue Lagoon is a man made spa but one look at it and you would not even think man made. It appears so natural as it is out in nature and the surrounding architectural structures are so simple and non intrusive to the natural surrounding beauty. That is one of the most amazing design aspects of Iceladn specially Reykjavík. The landscape is the dominant concept. In addition, there is no Starbucks or Sephora to distract you. Well, there is a Sephora at the mall and a LUSH but it is out of view from the greater picture. It is a modern, intelligent place that has respected its resources and evolved from burning coal at one time to utilizing its plentiful geothermal energy. This energy heats 87% of Iceland homes.
Geothermal energy, water, and bathing all go hand in hand in Iceland whether at the Blue Lagoon or in the bathroom. You will smell sulfur in the water everywhere and also find that saunas, relaxing heather pools, geothermal pools, geothermal spa pools, and bathtubs in your hotel room, if lucky, will be present at all times. You can also look forward to several different aromatherapy saunas, power steam rooms, thermal pools, and lap pools at the 5 star Laugar Spa in Reykjavik. A short cab ride from the city center.
For accommodations, allow me to recommend the CenterHotel Thingholt in Reykjavik (above). Think vampire gothic Eames chic. I could have done without all the animal skin products but the place was amazing. My friend and I even ended up getting the upgrade to have the bathtub right in the room. Pure water and a deep well designed bathtub? You cannot go wrong. Nothing bad to say about this place. Actually, if you stay in the city on a weekend plan on going out until 6:30AM because Icelanders know how to party. And, that does not necessarily mean bars and surliness. They just stay out late and have a good time. So, if you cannot beat them join them. We went out dancing until 6:30AM.
Getting to the design scene of things and creative stimulation… well, I guess it depends on how much you love nature. I believe environments shape people. And, if Iceland shapes people then the creative people here are in the middle of a strange, strong, and beautiful scene full of grand volcanic scale and intricate definition of black deserts. Homes are rich in reds, cobalt blue, and sunny yellow. Roofs are red, white, green, yellow and black. I was completely inspired to draw the whole place. People and all. Iceland has a young design scene but it is growing rapidly in its desire to be a eco conscious, critical, and an edgy dot on the map. There is a mysticism and vast open amount of space here that feels it would fuel room for strong concept and fluid design sensibility. I am excited to see what is to come out of the design scene in Iceland.
TIPS: Some designers I came across in my travels: Studio Bility, Ingibjorg Hanna, Helene Magnusson (who also has an Etsy shop with felted lighting), Thora Breidfjord, Katrin Olina (don't miss the Cristal Bar she recently designed in Hong Kong), Photographer Elsa Prinsessa (also on etsy), and Bjorg Juto. You can find more listed here. Here are some great shops: Kraum, Kisan, and Sirka. Also check out the Icelandic Design Center online. If you're looking for design bloggers in Iceland Olof Jakobina is a good starting point. If you are visiting Iceland, don't miss the Reykjaik travel guide at Time Out. For some music out of Iceland, listen to Hjaltalin, Sigur Ros, Maus, Calder, and of course Bjork along with many others that you can find here at the Iceland Music website. Restaurants/Cafes: Greaenn Kostur, Silfur, A Naestu Grosum, Ice Bar at Restaurant Reykjavik, and Vox (they happen to serve high tea, too).
Want to watch a video about Reykjavik? Here's a great one on You Tube.
– Thank you Tara for the beautiful post featuring Reykjavik! I'm always interested in a good travel post so if you're a reader heading to a fun city, design event, or anything else you'd like to show us please send me an email (holly AT decor8blog.com) with your story ideas. I'd love to hear from you! – Holly

Hey all,
Well, after reading the thread about the alternate break-in method, I got the itch to unleash the beast tonight. So, I'm out running a few errands and stuff - several runs up the tach, proper warm up, cool down, and stuff. I'm headed to my next destination in the left lane in tight traffic/lights and I hear something (DON'T see him yet). I turn my head to the BBRRAAWWWWAAAAPP and catch a glance at bluish projection fogs, some tack on "aerowork", super dark tint, and a "nice" move to the far right lane at the next light. A$$.
The road splits up ahead - local to the right, hwy to the left. I'm going left and he is also. I jump on his tail and it's a white prelude recent model. I spy an AEM sticker (CAI?) mid bumper and think, hmmmm, what should I do? I don't have much experience with ricers, so I play conservatively - giving him room, but occassionally running up on him to let him know I'm still there. He's weaving, but everyone moves over after he goes by b/c they see me coming (I hope they didn't think that noise was me!) but he actually slows down for a well know speed trap. MAYBE, he's not that DUMB? We actually get one lane free and run up to 90+ - I actually have to lift once or twice so I don't smash into him.
The hwy goes back to occasional lights and we finally get to line up at a red light. Clear roads ahead!! It was going to be my 1st time "running it up" ALL the WAY to 7k. I rev a little, slip the clutch and take off - still determined to see what all the "fuss" is about [A BLAST!!! btw ], but he doesn't even go!!! I shut it down around 70, ticked off. What's up with that? Intimidated? Embarrassed? Sparing me?
The next light turns yellow and I brake hard to see if he's still there. He rolls up at the still red light and yells over "HEY!" I roll down the window (gotta love express down - my SE-R had cranks!) and he says something like "sucks, you know that's a station wagon ! Like he's mr. superior in his 2dr cpe. I go, "yeah, KICKS A$$ doesn't it!?!?!" the light changes, so no response heard.
I chill out and stay in the right lane, he's taking the wingman position and never comes door to (front) door. He runs up a little, but I can hear him coming and I shut the door on him. Finally, a left turner impedes his progress and he finally disappears.
So, I'm sorry this is so long, but it's my 1st story = 1st kill???
Take care all,

It's super simple to make paper beads! Here, we add a toddler twist: making bigger beads for a colorful paper bead necklace.
Start by gathering your materials. We used two 8x8 sheets of colored paper to make ours. Next cut the paper into long triangular strips. We were able to make 10 per sheet (20 triangles total to make this necklace).
Starting with the wider end, wrap the paper around the wooden spoon base--snug but not tight--until about 2 inches remain of the pointed end. Apply the white glue to this section.
Next, cut a piece of plastic lacing the length of your child's desired necklace--V wanted hers long. Then, tie a small knot on one end of the plastic lacing. Now comes the fun part--a great fine motor skill too--threading the necklace!

Stoke-On-Trent's very own All The Best Tapes re-release their April '12 EP 'This Is Not A Record, This Is All The Best Tapes' in March. If you've not heard it, you're in for 15 minutes of fresh progressive punk rock.
Progressive punk rock is something that can prove difficult to master, whereas the short fiery bursts of standalone punk provide such a familiar, brilliant, sound – All The Best Tapes have managed to throw in enough of this into their more pop-punk influenced EP to keep it fresh, yet still interesting.
Opening track, Old Device, kicks things off with an aggressive front of unique sounding vocals and compelling riffs before toning things down towards the end of the piece, with a flowing instrumental narrative, which leads into a quite diverse feedback-finish, so to speak.
In their attempt to live up to the 'progressive' title, I was worried All the Best Tapes would simply try to make a 2 minute pop-punk song last 5 minutes, just for the sake of it – This isn't the case. It feels as though each song on the EP is split between an, often agro sounding, lyrical expression of emotions before slipping into a calmed instrumental expression. With the lyrics being somewhat hard to understand in places, the instrumental closers that All The Best Tapes so brilliantly craft often portray a lot clearer message.
'P.D.W. Ribbon by P.D.W. Ribbon by All The Best Tapes' – Top marks for the most unnecessarily long-winded song name ever, by the way – is a fantastic closer for this little EP. Luring you in with a charming indie riff before bursting into more of the same intense band and vocal blurts of emotions, the track leads into an incredibly energetic finish as vocalist, M.K Baker releases his talent down the microphone.

Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan is almost sure that his next film, "Don 2", will be a real hit, mostly due to the amazing dialogue written for the film. And we bring you some inside details about it.
mere dushman samajh rahe the ki main ab kabhi laut kar na aaunga
ek gumnami ka samundar hai usi doob kar rehjaunga
abhi baaki meri kahani hai saari duniya ko jo sunani hai
dekho main hoon kon
aa raha hoon palat kar dekho main hoon DON
ab mujhe koi nahi rok sakta
[flv:http://www.bollygraph.com/video/Don-2-Official-Trailer.flv 560 345]
The famous line of the King in the first part "Don Ke Dushman Ki Sabse Badi Galti Yeh Hai, Ki Woh Don Ka Dushman Hai" will be repeated in the sequel. Considering the fact that Don is getting much rougher and tougher in the sequel, we are really eager to see the film.
We all know that Bollywood has special relationships with each of the dialogues in the films, but this specific phrase that came out of SRK in the film "Don" could not have done better, becoming the phrase of the nation, being known even by those who have not seen the film, and even convincing people to come see the film.
What is there more to say? We hope that the actor will caught up more such phrases, and signs indicate to a successful sequel for the film.

Shown Here:
Introduced in Senate (01/28/1993)
Preventing Our Federal Building Workers and Visitors From Exposure to Deadly Smoke (PRO-FEDS) Act of 1993 - Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue guidelines for enforcing a nonsmoking policy at Federal agencies. Requires such policy, at a minimum, to prohibit smoking in each portion of a Federal building that is not ventilated separately.
Directs the heads of Federal agencies, the Director of the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts, and specified entities of the legislative branch to adopt such a nonsmoking policy.
Authorizes agencies to petition for a waiver from the general requirements if extenuating circumstances prevent enforcement and such agencies make a good-faith effort to enforce an alternative policy that will protect individuals from exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
Requires Federal agencies in which a labor organization has been accorded bargaining unit recognition to engage in collective bargaining to ensure implementation of requirements that affect work areas predominantly occupied by the organization's members. Exempts such work areas from the nonsmoking policy if the bargaining unit and the Federal agency have a collective bargaining agreement that includes provisions relating to smoking privileges that are in violation of this Act's requirements. Terminates such exemption on the earlier of the first expiration date of the agreement or one year after the date of issuance of the guidelines.
Directs the Administrator and the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide technical assistance to Federal agencies and other persons who request it.
Requires the Administrator to: (1) establish an outreach program informing the public of the dangers of environmental tobacco smoke; (2) establish an Environmental Tobacco Smoke Advisory Office within the EPA Office of Radiation and Indoor Air; and (3) report to the Congress on compliance with this Act and an assessment of the legal status of smoking in public places.

knowing how to attract clients is the most useful business skill you can learn.
I'm Jenny, Lantern Tender here at Soul Print Path. As a client attraction strategist for purpose-driven business owners, I've spent years studying what motivates curious prospects to become paying clients. The Soul Print Map is a result of that research and my more than 15 years experience as an entrepreneur. It's a clarity-inducing, focused, no-fluff guide to client attraction.
I pinpointed 4 key areas for attracting clients to your business. I call it the Soul Print Map because it's like a map, guiding your path to attract ideal clients to work with you. Here are the 4 key areas:
1. Your Brand (Essence) - The one thing you have that no other person has is YOU. Your essence. Your unique qualities that create the experience of doing business with you. Your brand makes you stand out so that your community notices you. It's like turning on the porch light so you can be found. People need to see you to work with you.
2. Your Niche (Service) - This is what you do for the community you serve. This set of actions has to answer your community's desires or needs in a direct and compelling way. I can teach you how to know what your community truly wants. It's often not what you think, and not what you're trying to sell. By tweaking your offers, sometimes even just a little, you see a major increase in the number of clients you attract to your business.
3. Your Marketing (Communication) - Marketing is how you communicate your message. Your marketing opens paths for your people to reach you, so they can work with you. The easier and more clearly defined the paths, the more likely your community is to make the journey. The thing is, people who are drawn to purpose-driven businesses don't respond favorably to loud and crass marketing tactics. I'm pretty sure you don't like marketing that way, either. I can teach you how to create inviting pathways to your business without compromising your values.
4. Mindset (Inner Work) - The inner workings of your mind directly impact the outer manifestation of your business. Your energy either attracts or repels your potential clients. And the inner critic can devastate your business, holding you back from seeing the results you want to see. Outer results begin with inner shifts.
With these 4 key areas in mind, I crafted the following ways for us to collaborate to attract more clients to your purpose-driven business. Click on the images to learn more or sign up:
Have a look around the website. There's lots of stuff for you to explore. If you have questions, I invite you to reach out.

Thanks to new equipment at Baylor Medical Center at Irving, patients now have additional options for fighting cancer. "As our cancer program continues to mature, we want to offer a broader scope of practices. These advanced technologies allow us to do that," says Ed Clifford, M.D., a surgeon on the medical staff at Baylor Medical Center at Irving and medical director of Baylor Irving's oncology program.
The new equipment includes:
Which helps doctors deliver radiation more accurately. Traditionally, pretreatment X-rays were taken on film and processed in a different room, which could take up to 10 minutes. "In that time, the patient might shift slightly, reducing the treatment's accuracy," says Anand Shivnani, M.D., a radiation oncologist on the medical staff at Baylor Medical Center at Irving.With IGRT, doctors can see images at the bedside, reducing margins and decreasing side effects. And, IGRT uses a cone-beam CT scan, which provides 3-D images.
A complementary technology to IGRT, which delivers a very high dose of radiation in one to five treatments to fight certain small tumors.
PET-CT scans, are now available five days a week at Baylor Irving, with a machine in the radiology department replacing a mobile scanner. PET scans help diagnose and track a tumor's response to cancer treatment.
Early detection can often help find cancer when it's most treatable. Get the recommended screening tests and up your odds of beating cancer if it's found.  Depending on your age and health history, your doctor may check for signs of thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, testicular or ovarian cancer during your regular physical.
 Talk to your doctor about when and how often you should have these additional screening tests:
Mammogram and clinical breast exam
Pap smear (for cervical cancer)
Prostate exam

This is one of those what the... stories I'm still trying to figure out just what he did wrong.
Daniel Sayers - Oregon, Ohio Open Carry Encounter there is a video link at the bottom of the story.
Apparently nothing but frighten the sheep. Almost sounds as if he was out to challenge the laws though.
What he did wrong is behave beligerantly while being questioned. If he had not been such a jackhole, the whole thing would have been over in a few minutes with no charges filed.:rant: :nono:
I have the full vid of this - and his problem was just not letting things go as needed.
He was eventually grounded and had an AR pointing at him - what he forgot tho while protesting his rights all the time was - that some dufus had started everything by calling in - ''man with gun''.
The cops have to treat that as major every time - which he should realize - we all have to.
The dialog included the cops sorta agreeing but still - he went on and on - way too long for his own good IMO.
He really didn't do anything wrong legally. Now I've never been in a discussion with an LEO (except for speeding, damn lead foot) but if a weapon is pointed my way and it's not a BG / GG encounter its time to follow commands and only respond when needed until a lawyer arrives. Just CYA. I'd probably be as anry but quiet.
Last week's discussion had a number of good comments.
Ditto on the belligerence. That'll do it every time.
Synopsis: The LEO's didn't know him, when they initiated contact. Driver claimed doors wouldn't work; wouldn't keep hands visible; kept loudly claiming his rights were being violated; kept loudly reacting to LEO questions with statements regarding his own concerns, instead of answering the questions. The 2nd LEO maintained an AR15 on him, until his partner cuffed him ... the AR15 being a loud claim by the man of a violation, when in reality it's standard procedure for the safety of the LEO's until they acquire control of the situation.
Volatile, non-cooperative behavior at the worst possible time on the part of Mr. Sayers.
IMO, fully and completely justified, once he started shooting his mouth off.
Rule number two when dealing with LEOs is be couteous and respectful (read: don't be a jackhole). That is pretty easy for most folks. This guy obviously couldn't help himself. Frankly, anyone with that temperment has no business with a CCL, IMHO.
Just another reason for CONCEALED CARRY. If he had kept it out of sight, the sheeple probably wouldn't have noticed and called it in. He should have kept his mouth shut.
Wow. So much, for free speech, huh....
"Don't Piss off LE, or they might charge you with crimes, that they know full well, are unconstituional (C'mon, 'possession of a firearm'!)"
Lesson learned...
I mean, at various jobs, I've had people piss me off, and get disrespectful towards me, but, I've managed not to violate any of thier constitutional rights, as an act of retribution....
When a cop is talking to you down the barrel of a gun, best to be polite and resolve the situation. Let your lawyer sort it out , if need be.
Oregon code 549.18 -- Possession of a weapon in a public place]
IMO, that goes the opposite direction from either:Quote:
(a) No person, in and about the streets, alleys, public places of the City, or at any
place other than the residence or fixed place of buisiness of such person, or while on a
suitable firing range or while being used for lawful hunting, or while unloaded at a public
firearms display, show or exhibition shall be in posession of, carry, or have on or about
his person, any pistol, revolver, rigle, shorgun or any weapon by whatever name known,
which is designed to expel a projectile or projectiles by the action of expanding gasses, or
any bowie knife, dirk, blackjack, bullyclub, brass knuckles, or any other weapon capable of
inflicting bodily harm. (Ord. 3-1974. Passed 1-14-74.)
(b) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree.
Second Amendment, US Constitiution
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Section 4, Ohio Constitution
IMO, IANAL, etc :smile:Quote:
The people have the right to bear arms for their defence and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.
IIRC....This was the case where the idiotic "plain sight car carry" rule applied--he got out of his car, weapon exposed...decided not to cover up despite having a CCW and went into the store to pay for gas.
Local sheep got scared....called "man with a gun"
Local PD conducted a felony stop, but because the sirens were going--the POs could not hear him notify them that he had a legally carried weapon; however, since OH does not have pre-emption, was charged with a crime because the city/county ordinance effectively banned firearms.
His attitude aside, why were the dashcam tapes edited? If the POs were completely in the right in how they conducted business, why haven't the *complete* tapes been turned over to the defendant's lawyer (as required through discovery proceedings).
IANAL, but even though it's been reported that he was being a jackhole, he still has the right to question why he was being pulled over when he had not broken any law (to his knowledge). Plus, after seeing a bunch of videos/reading stories about how the PO has ADs/NDs, while pointing them at a suspect being handuffed, and then accidentally killing a suspect, I would have been a little concerned. Personally, I think this is a case where Bubba got a new toy (AR-15) and was going to see how it worked--or knowing it was possibly a CCW holder (do they link license with CCW permits in OH?), scare the cr@p out of him). Do you really need an AR-15 to conduct a felony stop at pistol-length distance??
Granted, this is not the way I would have conducted myself, plus OH CCW laws are still in their infancy. OH needs to get rid of pre-emption, eliminating the patchwork laws they have, *and* get rid of the "plain sight" car carry law or we will see more of these "man with a gun" calls....and more felony stops, possibly going bad--i.e. killing someone.

To be right is one thing, to be polite is everything. Shooting off ones mouth can and most often results in escalating the situation. Higher level, higher threat, earning one an all expense paid ride in the back seat of a cruiser, fact of life.
Does anyone have the definitive (proven) list of all charges actually documented against Mr. Sayers? I've only found varying lists on some internet sites, though the simple fact they differ is enough for me to question each of them.

Matheus Taylor didn't ask to be murdered. To be fair, the percentage of people actually asking to be murdered is probably small enough to be safely ignored, but he felt it was worth stating regardless. His life might have been ordinary, but it was his life and he wasn't done with it yet.
Quin didn't care.
A 1,700-year-old Roman, Quintus Livius Saturnius had a different view of morality than most people. Killing Matheus and hijacking his undead existence seemed perfectly acceptable to him.
Now, Matheus spends his nights running for his life, questioning his sexual orientation, and defying a mysterious new threat to the vampires within his city. Not that he set out to do any defying; he just wanted to be left alone. Unfortunately, that was never going to happen.

"Surprisingly good!"
Wasn't sure what to expect from this book as I don't often gravitate to the vampire genre., but i like sarcastic back and forth dialog so I decided to try it.
I'm glad I used the credit because I loved it so much I immediately got the 2nd audiobook.
The narrator was out of this world and made this book even better!
I didn't read the book yet, I listened to 90% of audio book and I have to say it was actually a fairly good audiobook! I didn't finish the audiobook yet but I went ahead and bought the kindle version as well.
The narrator is very talented and I absolutely love his style and skill.
I really enjoy the take on vampires in this series and really enjoyed the characters and their relationships (or lack of lol) It is definitely a good read/listen. Highly recommend this!
For those looking for the PWP type story, this is not for you. No spoilers, but there are moments that tickled my inner fujoshi.
I have already bought the 2nd installment of this series in kindle and audio version. I can't wait to read more of what is to come!
I read some of the reviews and saw that there is a 3rd book! I REALLY hope it comes out soon! Because once I finish the 2nd book I will want to know more!
"good and bad"
The romance is great. It's sweet and funny.
The main character is such a spineless weak minded twit that it pretty much ruins the enjoyment of the book for me.
The narration is great.
"Very Enjoyable"
This was a fun read. The inner monologue from the main character is funny and insightful. All the characters stand out and feel alive. I was engaged the whole way through. The only real problem I had was with some of the narration. As there are a lot of characters some of the voices stared to sound the same.Also there are points where characters are not speaking English and I wish I had a hard copy of the book to check annotations. Otherwise, this book is a good time.
"Too long and no plot"
This is a series of adventures strung together and dragged out. The book goes on for so long that what was humorous banter turns into irritating, repetitive screeching and at that point neither MC is appealing. The book end without a conclusion. What happens to the protagonists is no more revealed at the end than at the begining.
"Humorously Exciting"
Humorous, all the characters have such a humorous personality, especially Matheus and Quin. Matheus is sarcastically witty and Quin gives it back to him.
Exciting, edge of your seat battles that makes your heart race.
Sensual. The bonding between Matheus and Quin is riveting without being explicit.
There is no comparison.
The entire book. However, the scene when Matheus tells Quin what he can do with a cactus stands out.
Yes. In two weeks I have already listened to it and book 2 twice.
The best narrated audio books with a fantastic story. Please continue to use James Patrick Cronin with the new book scheduled for October 2016 and all the books in this series.
"I really loved this...it surprised me! Different!"
I wasn't sure about it at first, but this has turned out to be a wonderfully unique take on them. And I am a major vamp lover. You have created some wonderful characters and they have come to life in away that I didn't expect at all. You've wound a good story too that personally, I didn't see coming. Matheus really gets on my nerves at times but he's supposed to and you've done a great job of it! James, you do make this story come alive and your narration is good. I'd butch up Quinn, but it's still very good. Listener, I personally think it's worth the listen...it takes a couple or three chapters to get "into it" but once you get hooked, well, let's just say I moved onto the second book, which I will review once finished, but I can tell you this...you'll have to get it too...start here, and then move to the next. Oh, and Amy, keep this series going as long as you can...I'll be there with you!
"Different.......way to much of a "homoerotic vibe""
I might depends if I get it from audible, so if I don't like it I can return it.
The most disappointing about the story is a couple of things. I don't mind taking the vampire story in a different direction. They are completely dead during the day and only alive at night okay I can accept that BUT some of the main characteristic of a being a vampire: are being immortal, super speed and super human strength lastly you heal very fast. The book is missing speed (or at least most of the time "Sunshine" only move's fast when is running in the woods), strength, as for healing "Sunshine" does heal fast when he drinks blood but there not much of that, healing I mean.
I like most of their banter, the back and forth I found it very amusing.
I did like parts of the book more than others. I really enjoyed the modern day approach to this kind of story. My biggest problem with the book was the overall homoerotic vibe of it. There's a lot of suggested talk about homosexuality throughout this whole book. The main character seems to be struggling with it. For me, that's what made it difficult to enjoy the book. As a reader I'm trying to put myself in the main character shoes. I think the writer could have allude to it without focusing on as much on it as she did. As with a lot of the Vampire genre sexuality is a big part of it.
"I wish I could return it!"
Not sure
Sometimes it takes a couple of chapters to get into a book and I usually persist for the sake of having paid for the book but with this book I could not get into the story and have only managed 3 chapters.
"Brilliant - new author to me"
I loved the ambivalence and the sarcasm,the to and fro of conversation and the way unexpected relationships develop. The scene I enjoyed the most was 'the kiss', this is not a book full sex - there is one kiss and it is long awaited and pleased me a lot. The scene that moved me the most was the scene with Quin in a prison cell and Matheus in hand and leg cuffs talking through an intercom. This is a very different vampire story - I have read a lot and would now count this amongst my top twenty. I can see lots of leads for further books and I will be buying them. As you can tell I really liked it.

Hello! I'm fairly new to the forums and haven't ventured outside of the pregnancy forums very much yet - but I was pointed in this direction for help with postpartum meal planning :)
I'm due in the beginning of July with my 3rd child (my other two are older - 12 and 7) and I'd like to start the planning process now (with the actual preparing beginning in April or so).
I can (have both a hwb and a pressure canner), plan on buying a dehydrator in the spring and have a huge stand up freezer.
I'm looking to start putting together a list of meals and meal ingredients (and snacks etc . . .) to have on hand for the first 6-8 weeks postpartum.
Because it'll be summer, food will be fresh and easy to prepare and most nights it shouldn't be too hard to throw something on the grill with minimal preparation and attention.
But I would still like some stuff stocked up so when I get a few minutes I can concentrate on preserving this summers food for next year too!
I'm looking at stocking up on a few dinners (preferably not casseroles and soups since it'll be summer) dinner ingredients (like precooked beef and chicken to add to fajitas and stirfrys and pizzas), snacks, breads, breakfasts etc . . .
Can anyone help point me in the direction of some similar threads or blogs or cookbooks, or post any ideas for freezer/pantry/canning for some go to summertime postpartum eating?!
Thanks so much!
mom to two boys (9/19/98) (8/24/03) and soon to be # 3 (7/2/11)
I should mention that I've got the basics of meal planning down - I work nights and often I start something in the am or put it in the crockpot and my husband finishes it off. I plan for the week ahead and am fairly organized (aka a control freak!) about it sometimes.
But one thing I've never been good at is planning more than a week in advance and even though I've half attempted freezer cooking I've never really got it down. My freezer is mostly filled with last summers fruits and veggies, stocks and meat.
So I'm good with advance planning and preparing - just not on such a large scale!
mom to two boys (9/19/98) (8/24/03) and soon to be # 3 (7/2/11)
You say that you've been pretty good at planning a week at a time, have you by chance saved previous weeks menus? If you have you could look back at previous summer's menus.
There is also this long running thread that has loads of feed the freezer type recipes. What about selecting one or two of them a week to make in the two or three months leading up to the due date?
Instead of trying to sit down and plan out a whole month just do it one week at a time, but don't wait until the week is up before you start the next week, does that make sense? Don't look at it as large scale if that is what intimidates you.
When I was getting geared up to have my second this past July, I wrote out a few lists, the first was a list of dinners that could be frozen (many were from that thread linked above), the second was a list of Quick/Cold dinner ideas (ie no or little cook so it wouldn't heat up our non-air conditioned house, and the last was a sandwich type list that have four categories- starch (bread, rolls, chips, pasta), protein (meats, beans, cheeses), sauces (dressings, pesto, etc. and toppings (veggies, fruits, cheeses, spreads, meats). This way I could select any combo from that list and come up with a few varieties of dinners/lunches.
If the goal is to cut out a little time from dinner prep so that you can have some time to work on harvest preservation, I would recommend consolidating dinner prep. For example, Monday night grill up some burgers, BBQ chicken, plain/marinated other chicken breasts, and veggies. Slice up several nights worth of veggies for snacking, putting on sandwiches, tossing with some lettuce and dressing, and cook some plain noodles. You would eat the hamburgers the first night with the hot grilled veggies. Day two you eat some cold BBQ chicken and some of the sliced veggies, and day three you have the chicken breast with the pasta and some of the leftover sliced veggies all tossed together with either bottled salad dressing (whatever variety is appealing) or a quick mayo and herb seasoning to make a chicken pasta salad. This way the first night is the only night of the three that you need to do any length of cooking. Day two and three are basically ready, especially day two. Day three could be ready if you assemble the chicken noodle salad the first night and just cover it in the fridge (maybe you would then switch day two and three so that salad wouldn't sit as long). Day four could stay no prep by using one of your preplanned freezer meals for dinner. This way out of four nights dinner would only need real work once which leaves three days for harvest preservation.
I'm sure other people have more suggestions, but hope my two cents help a bit. Just do a little bit of the planning each day/week and you should be fine.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate those tips and ideas (and link to the thread!) I think maybe having other meals (no cook, simple cook etc . . .) sort of laid out will help a ton too. thanks!

Homemade granola. Can eat it one handed while BF, in yogurt, on top of ice cream or with milk.
My last two babies have been summer babies--June and July. I have made freezer meals for both of them, and it was very helpful. Honestly, the first couple of weeks, I didn't care that some of the meals were heavy and wintery---it was just that nice to have supper taken care of. I did freeze a lot of soups, and for after the initial hump, a lot of "helpers" to make supper prep quickly. Things like raw chicken in marinade, hamburger patties, mashed potatoes in ice cream scoop size blobs, taco meat, beans, and the like. It just cut down on a lot of prep time, and I could do it one handed.
I also second the pp's suggestion to have freezer meals (complete), some meal helpers (marinated chicken, etc), and a list of really easy meals. Initially postpartum, my brain is just in a fog, and it's nice to not have to think about anything, but have it all planned out for me.

It's time for a hashtag party – care to join? It's called #bloghug but first, why I'm bothering to do this? I was thinking a lot lately about the connections we make online and the connectors who lead the pack in this effort (maybe one of them is you) and how some have told me that they feel like their hard work isn't a) getting them anywhere b) receiving much feedback OR that c) they aren't really feeling so excited lately about blogging. I thought #bloghug could help spread a little internet cheer.
While you are out there pinning and dragging and dropping and clicking and scrolling please take a moment and think about where all of this content comes from and give a blogger a little high five if you can. I can't imagine the world going back in time to when blogs didn't exist BUT it is sooo super easy to take for granted those who blog and inspire us all day, isn't it? I am so proud of our blogger community overall, aren't you? To all of you out there who are connecting others through your blog, your website, etc. I value you. We value you! You have value – a lot of it! So, I ask you…
Have you hugged a blogger today?
Seriously, have you? Not in real life… I'm talking about a virtual hug, a virtual high five. Maybe this week you can comment on their blog, "like" their Facebook page, send them a friendly tweet – simply to say YOU ROCK.
How to be part of #bloghug
1) Write a blog post about your favorite bloggers or blogger and tweet it to me (@decor8) with hashtag #bloghug so I can pin it.
2) Make a video and post it on your blog and tweet the link to me (@decor8) with hashtag #bloghug so I can pin that, too!
3) Get creative! Have someone snap your photo of you reading a favorite blog on your iPad (just not your own LOL!), or holding a sign that says "I Love Blogs #bloghug" or something that just shows a little love. You can use Instagram for this too – just tweet the photo to me (@decor8) with hashtag #bloghug with a link to your instagram.com page so I can pin it!
Deadline: February 15.
Here are some previous hashtag parties I've hosted with themes: #stripemania & #discomania to give you some ideas.
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
Remember: #bloghug
Here is the #bloghug board on Pinterest where I'll pin your stuff!

Michael Lewis is out with his newest book on the whited sepulcher that is Wall Street.
I suppose there is no better instance of the whited sepulchre than Smyrna.
"whited sepulchres," answered Johnnie, indebted for his wit to his wool-gathering.
I fear the wit who called the engine-room a whited sepulchre had some smack of truth in him.
For the Pharisees of our days he felt all the anger due to whited sepulchres.
This is the moment when the two whited sepulchres at either end of the Avenue reek with the thick atmosphere of bargain and sale.
In fact she was, as Smith put it, "a whited bloomin' sepulchre."
whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones.
There is no whitening equal to that of sepulchres whited as they are whited!
The whited sepulchres of the sovereign hypocrites of the Republic now stood black as night in the face of noon.
Old English hwit, from Proto-Germanic *khwitaz (cf. Old Saxon and Old Frisian hwit, Old Norse hvitr, Dutch wit, Old High German hwiz, German weiß, Gothic hveits), from PIE *kwintos/*kwindos "bright" (cf. Sanskrit svetah "white;" Old Church Slavonic sviteti "to shine," svetu "light;" Lithuanian sviesti "to shine," svaityti "to brighten").
As a surname, originally with reference to fair hair or complexion, it is one of the oldest in English, being well-established before the Conquest. Meaning "morally pure" was in Old English. Association with royalist causes is late 18c. Slang sense of "honorable, fair" is 1877, American English. The racial sense (adj.) of "of those races (chiefly European or of European extraction) characterized by light complexion" is first recorded c.1600. The noun in this sense ("white man, person of a race distinguished by light complexion") is from 1670s. White supremacy attested from 1902; white flight is from 1967.
White heat "state of intense or extreme emotion" first recorded 1839. White lie is attested from 1741. White Christmas is attested from 1857. White House at the U.S. presidential residence is recorded from 1811. White water "river rapids" is recorded from 1580s. White Russian "language of Byelorussia" is recorded from 1850; the mixed drink is from c.1978. White-collar as an adjective is from 1921; white-collar crime attested by 1964 (there is a white-collar criminaloids from 1934). Astronomical white dwarf is from 1924.
Cocaine (1940s+ Narcotics)

The birth control pill is one of most effective non-permanent methods of contraception – nearly 100% effective in preventing pregnancy.
Women who obtain abortions represent every religious affiliation, race and financial status
The reasons women give for having an abortion underscore their understanding of the responsibilities of parenthood and family life.
About 61% of abortions are obtained by women who have one or more children.
The time surrounding an abortion decision can be intense emotionally—for many women it provokes an examination of some big issues about her future, her relationship, or her values. No matter what you decide, facing an unplanned pregnancy can be difficult.
The predominant feeling most women report after an abortion is relief, but it's very common to also feel regret, empowerment, sadness, guilt, happiness, or a combination of mixed feelings. Many women talk about feeling confident about their decision, and also feeling sad about having an abortion. Honor your own feelings—there is no right way to feel. Allow yourself the same freedom to have feelings as you would after any major life event or big decision.
Even though abortion is very common, it can be hard to talk about, especially because of all the political, religious, and cultural stigma involved. If you want to talk to someone after the abortion, feel free to call our office and talk to a counselor for free:
We also recommend Backline, a non-judgmental, free, post-abortion hotline. Feel free to check out our counseling links to explore more about how others have felt, and share your story.
Abortion is an extremely common experience—over one-third of American women have an abortion by the time the are 45 years old—and yet many women feel isolated or alone when they have an abortion. The silence around abortion hurts us all. FIND YOUR VOICE and talk to someone you trust.
We have a nurse on-call 24 hours a day if you have a medical concern. Of course, if you are having a medical emergency, call 911.

Sad News: The Man With the 132-Pound Scrotum Has Died at Age 49
On Friday, 49-year-old WESLEY WARREN JR. of Las Vegas passed away. You might not know the name, but you've probably heard about him . . . he was the guy with the 132-POUND SCROTUM. He had scrotal elephantiasis, and finally had surgery last year. Sadly, he died Friday from complications from diabetes, NOT because of the surgery.

Between Jan. 1 and April 1, you should renew registration for your corporation, limited liability company, or limited partnership with the Secretary of State.
What You Should Know:
- Although you can submit a hard copy of your renewal, electronic filing is both faster and more convenient than paper filing.
- To renew your registration online, you'll need to have available your control number, a valid email address, and all mailing addresses for corporate officers.
- Regular annual registration costs $50. There is a $25 late fee for entities that fail to pay their annual registration on time. If you're registering for the first time, you can expedite the process for $100.
- Coordinate with others at your workplace. Make sure that you're the only one in charge of renewing the registration. You won't want to pay the registration fee twice.
How do I make changes to my company's registration?
If you need to update information about your company's address or its officers, file a new annual registration. Keep in mind, though, that even if you file multiple registrations in 1 year you'll still need to register again the next year by April 1.

By Linda Brodlieb
Issue 139; November/December 2006
The letter came while I was at work and, rather than waiting for me to come home, my husband, Marc, called to tell me about this particular piece of mail. It was about our children, Alex and Sarah. The letter was written by a 12-year-old girl, Miranda, who claimed to be their younger sister. She was asking for permission to introduce herself to her siblings. I was speechless and, though I tried, I couldn't manage to link two related thoughts together.
We had adopted our children at birth, but I no longer even thought of them as adopted. I don't believe they did either. They were simply our children. But the two of them were, in fact, full blood siblings. Was it possible there was a third? And how did Miranda know of them when they knew nothing of her? None of this made any sense. Yet if what Miranda wrote was true, our children would have to be told, and it would be best if they heard the news from us first.
That evening, Marc and I put off any further discussion until after dinner, when Alex and Sarah went off to do their homework. Then, finally, we sat down to try to sort out our thoughts, and, for the first time, I read the letter myself. Miranda referred to her adoptive parents by name and spoke of them briefly, saying that her dad was a psychologist, her mom an elementary-school teacher. Her parents had always told her that she had a brother and sister and that one day she would meet them.
How could this be? All information regarding the adoption of our children had been ordered sealed by the court. Back then, in the early 1980s, this was standard procedure in the state of New York; most of the information relating to an adoption was kept under wraps. But what if Miranda was, indeed, a third sibling? And if she was, how did her adoptive parents know of a brother and sister, especially since we did not know of Miranda?
Perhaps Mr. Michaels, the attorney who had handled both of our adoptions, had told Miranda's parents of other siblings. By now it was 10 p.m.; surely, Mr. Michaels wouldn't still be in his office. Was he even still in practice? We hadn't been in contact with him since Sarah's birth, nearly 14 years earlier. Marc and I decided to call him first thing in the morning to see if he knew anything about a third child. Then we would contact Miranda's parents. If there was any truth to this story, we would proceed from there. One thing was for sure: if Miranda was, in fact, our children's sister, we would have to tell them as soon as possible.
That night as I tossed in bed, trying to get to sleep, I remembered a conversation Sarah and I had had years before, when she was four or five years old. We were in the bathroom talking about adopting things we loved—people, pets, even beliefs. Then, just as she was stepping into the tub, she turned to me and asked, "Mommy, how could the lady give two of her babies away?" The children, of course, knew they were blood siblings, but still, Sarah seemed too young to be making this kind of connection, or perhaps I was just naïve. Either way, I couldn't help but worry now. What would the children deduce from learning that a third baby had been given away, and separately from her two siblings? The following day, Marc called Mr. Michaels. He listened to my husband recount the story, then admitted that he was aware of a third child born to the same woman. But he hadn't handled that adoption; he had sold his practice to two women just before the child was born, and it was the birth mother who had told those attorneys of the two earlier births. Because the standard procedure was to try to keep siblings together, they had called Mr. Michaels asking for our address, which he had given them. Now he regretted that he hadn't followed up on it—the two attorneys never contacted us. Mr. Michaels gave Marc the names and phone number of the attorneys and wished him luck.
Next, I called Miranda's adoptive mother. As the phone rang, the thought occurred to me that she might think I was someone playing a prank. As it turned out, that was hardly the case. After introducing myself, I told her about the letter my husband and I had received from her daughter. Not in a million years could I have predicted her reaction. She was genuinely delighted, telling me so in six different ways and actually making me feel as if we were estranged family who had, at long last, been reunited. She and her husband had told Miranda about her brother and sister as soon as she was able to talk. Miranda, a wizard on the Internet, had located Alex and Sarah on her own.
Now that my husband and I knew that Miranda was, indeed, our own children's sibling, we had to move quickly to make sure that we, not Miranda, were the ones to break the news. But it was not an opportune week to give them such momentous information. Alex was just finishing his sophomore year in high school, and Sarah was in eighth grade and about to graduate from middle school. Both were just beginning their final exams, so we decided to hold off a bit longer. After their last exam, we would tell the children about Miranda, the sister they never knew.
The day before their last exam, we told the kids we were calling a family meeting for the following evening after dinner. This triggered a barrage of questions: "Why?" "What's it about?" "What do you want to tell us?" "Why can't you tell us now?" "Please, please!"
We stuck to our guns, telling them to be patient, that we had something good to tell them, even though I had a hard time seeing it that way. I simply couldn't share their enthusiasm. They reacted with such positive anticipation, but I felt as if I were leading lambs to the slaughter. I was worried and anxious, thinking only to protect them from life. I was concerned that Sarah would again begin wondering how a woman could give her babies away, and this time not two, but three. I couldn't even imagine how Alex would feel: upset? angry? resentful? And perhaps I was being selfish in not wanting to share my family with another.
The next morning, bursting with nervous energy, I started the day, organizing my desk, paying bills, shopping for food, and tackling some chores I'd been putting off. Then, around midafternoon, I began to pace. Marc, on the other hand, was absorbed in a baseball game. I wanted to shake him. From the moment I'd gotten out of bed, I'd been in a state of perpetual motion. I couldn't understand how he could just sit there, focused on a game, when I was jumping out of my skin. I supposed this was just his form of release. Suddenly, I heard Sarah's voice, chattering away. A second later, she and Alex raced into the room, all their exams behind them.
By the time we'd finished dinner, the kids were so excited that I worried perhaps we'd made a mistake and created too much suspense. Maybe we should have taken a more relaxed approach. Then Marc nodded at me as if to say, "It's OK." Although my heart was beating furiously, I smiled as I handed the children Miranda's letter.
Alex was the first to grab it. While he read, Sarah hung on his shoulder for leverage and attempted to stretch her head out farther than his, trying to speed-read right past him. Suddenly, she shrieked with delight. "Alex, we have a brother!" He started laughing. "No, dummy, we have a sister." Sarah appeared to be disappointed, perhaps even a bit jealous. Next, we heard such phrases as "This is so cool!" and "I wonder what she's like." Not once did they stop to question how, or when, or anything. Then they ran toward the phone, yelling, "Let's go call her!" A second later, they stopped, and I could hear Alex: "Well, maybe we should send her an e-mail." Sarah, always anxious to please her brother, said, "Yeah, an e-mail would be better." I had to laugh at their sudden shyness. They took off, then again came to a stop. Alex turned to Sarah and said, "Maybe we should just write her a letter." Then they were gone.
Marc and I looked at each other and sighed with relief. Never could we have predicted their reaction. Like many parents, we had underestimated our children's ability to welcome change and the unexpected turns life brings. We'd just have to wait and see how the situation would unfold. But one thing was clear: their innocence was not simple naïveté, but a wonderful openness to life. I had wanted to protect them from life, but they were ready to embrace it.
Miranda eventually became a valued addition to my children's lives, and I learned how capable they were of teaching me an important lesson about life. Worrying about what might happen in life is wasted emotion. But anticipating the positive is an investment in happiness.

Dorothy Of Oz Prequel (edition 2012)
by Denton J. Tipton
Work details
Dorothy Of Oz Prequel by Denton J. Tipton
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Hilarious and fun, suitable for most ages
When the Wicked Witch's equally wicked brother, The Jester, takes over her castle, he wastes no time in taking over the lands of Oz. It is up to the genius Scarecrow, the emotional Tin Man and the brave Lion to save the people. But they might need a little help...
While clearly targeted at a younger audience, this book can be enjoyed by most ages as a light, fun set of interlinked stories that will put a smile on your face. Funny, occasionally clever and beautifully drawn, IDW have managed to update the Oz characters without changing beyond recognition. Modern touches include the Scarcrow's Robocop/Terminator POVs, the overly emotional Tin Man getting a little too in touch with his feelings and the Lion's occasional sarcasm. All these enliven what could have been a very childish story, part of what makes this worth a read.
I raced through this in one sitting, wishing there was more to it and was somewhat irritated that the book acts ENTIRELY as a prelude to the film: the short segments are all complete in themselves, but the story is wholly incomplete, requiring you to watch the film to fully enjoy what you've already bought. I don't necessarily begrudge them this, as it is clearly marked as a 'prequel' (although it is more accurately a 'preLUDE' coming out as it does BEFORE the film), but it would have been nice to have a little closure.
Worth picking up if you intend to watch (or already have watched) the film
Jester, the Wicked Witch's brother, has returned to Oz to seek vengeance on all. The Lion, Scarecrow, and Tin Man are out to stop him. They feel they need to bring Dorothy back to Oz.
They graphics are a bit on the cartoonish side, but this is apt due to the focus age group. The graphics are fun and laced with humor.
The characters are cute albeit simple.
Plot narrative is easy to follow with humor and action.
Overall, a cute read.
The Story
This comic is based on the animated movie Legends of Oz, which I've never seen, and is soon to be followed by the new CGI movie Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return. It gives a prelude to what will be coming in the new movie.
In all honesty, it seemed a little silly. The main characters' traits were overly exaggerated (practically any time one of them said/did something, it was connected to the thing the wizard had given them: the Tin Man was absurdly over-emotional and always crying, the no-longer-Cowardly Lion was forever mentioning not being afraid anymore, and the Scarecrow was non-stop coming up with intelligent remarks & ideas), and they went directly from one silly contrived scenario to the next. I didn't find the writing compelling at all. The story jerked around too much with no smooth transitions. I enjoy children's books, they're fun for all ages, but this is just not one I would want to read again or suggest to any child; I feel like the author is not familiar with children or children's books and it was trying to be too purposely simplistic, in a way that talks down to children. Really I just wanted it to focus on the flying monkeys, they were by far the best and most interesting part of the story.
The Art
Bright bold colors, especially for Oz itself; they really stand out and look wonderful on the page. The drawing style of the main trio and the villain was a little too cartoony for my particular taste, I like more realistically drawn characters. But that is a personal preference, they are certainly drawn well. I was enamored with the flying monkeys, they're fabulous in every scene, I absolutely love the way they look! They all have their unique little attributes and they're simply fantastic.
Background: Dorothy of Oz Prequel, tells the story of how Dorothy is needed back in Oz. The Wicked Witch of the West is still defeated but her evil brother, the Jester has returned to take her place. The Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion must find a way to return Dorothy to Oz to help defeat the Jester and his evil plans.
Review: Super Cute! I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was an interesting story and the old characters were done justice, while the new characters were funny, adorable, and beautifully drawn. The story included the gangs journey to find a way to bring Dorothy back, and this has them traveling the land of Oz for some help and answers, we meet the Candy Land people-- very reminiscent of the game Candy Land, the Dainty China Country-- full of breakable people, and we get to explore some of the goodies the Wizard left behind.
The art is wonderful, very bright and vibrant, and a cartoon like style-- which makes it more kid friendly and holds to the whimsical-ness of the Wizard of Oz. It was a very quick read, the pictures and bright colors really keep you moving along, and you don't need to know the original story, because they do a good job filling in those holes for non-Wizard of Oz fans.
Copy was received from NetGalley and IDW Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

In the unfortunate event of a student's death during an academic term in which it may reasonably be assumed that he or she would have completed all degree requirements, a degree may be awarded posthumously to the student. The decision as to the likelihood that the student would have completed his or her work during the term shall be at the discretion of the President. The special nature of the award should be reflected on all pertinent records.
A. When Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) learns of the death of a currently enrolled student at MTSU, the Registrar will send an email to the graduation coordinator for that college requesting confirmation by email that the student would have completed his/her work during that term and was on track to meet all degree requirements for the academic program.
B. The Registrar will send the recommendation to the Vice Provost, Academic Affairs with a copy to the college dean of the student's program of study. After review, the Vice Provost, Academic Affairs will forward to the President.
C. The President will make the final determination to award a degree posthumously. The decision will be forwarded to the Registrar.
D. If a degree is awarded, the Registrar's office is responsible for notifying family members. Family contact information will then be sent to the Executive Assistant, President's Office for invitation to any graduation events such as luncheon or breakfast.

Tuskegee player tries to make most of second chance
Before transferring to Tuskegee this summer, starting running back Derrick Washington was convicted of felony sexual assault, served 120 days in prison in Missouri and is now forced to register as a sex offender.
While serving his prison sentence for that conviction, Washington also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for a separate incident in which he assaulted a former girlfriend.
Despite those incidents, Tuskegee coach Willie Slater said he felt comfortable enough, after interviewinjg Washington at length, to offer him a scholarship and a second chance with the Division II program in Alabama.
"He's a good kid who just messed up," Slater said. "Since he's been here, he's been a model kid. He's done everything we've asked him to do. I don't bring bad kids into any program. My reputation as a coach goes well past this place and no one has ever questioned the kids I bring in.
"Derrick's a good kid. He spent 120 days in prison. That changes a person."
Washington's sexual assault conviction stems from an incident in June 2010 in which a former athletics department tutor at Missouri accused the running back of sexually touching her while she slept, according to an account from the trial appearing in the Columbia Daily Tribune.
Slater said Tuskegee has taken all necessary steps to ensure Washington was properly registered as a sex offender on campus, in the City of Tuskegee and in Macon County.
Washington has started both games for Tuskegee this season, rushing for 155 yards and two TDs in last week's 35-17 win against Johnson C. Smith (N.C.). He rushed for 2,000 yards in two seasons as the starter at Mizzou.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Fencing is a requirement for rescue dogs. Most are hunting dogs and have had some training, yet they need exercise and a fenced yard is most practical. Invisible fence is often a cost effective alternative to "hard" fence. If you are planning on keeping the dog indoors we recommend you purchase a crate for the dog. Ask us about the benefits of crate training when you call.
The adoption fee simply replaces the funds that we have already spent on the dog you choose to adopt. Dogs are fully vaccinated prior to adoption.
NOTE: If you'd like our vet to check a dog out prior to adoption I can make arrangements for a vet check for a nominal fee (non-refundable). Please call and we can discuss this option.
We require all dogs to be spayed/neutered within the first month of new ownership. You can simply mail us a copy of the spay/neuter certificate from your vet as proof. The environment here is controlled and no breeding - accidental or otherwise - takes place. We don't want to contribute to the unwanted, neglected or abandoned pet population that is currently out there.
We keep the dogs on monthly heartworm preventative and flea/tick preventative, while in our care and they are UTD on vaccinations. We also pay for their food and necessary kennel supplies while they are with us.
If we were to realize any profits those monies will be donated to Victory Junction, a special camp for special kids with health care needs.
Dogs are evaluated to determine their temperament and general health. We try our best to give as much information as possible about every animal up for adoption, but please remember that many times our ability to obtain information is limited. We try very hard to find homes for these dogs. We do not offer for adoption, any vicious or aggressive animals.
Although we make diligent efforts to ensure the optimum health of every animal made available for adoption, on occasion an adopted pet may become sick. If this occurs within the first week after adoption, please let us know. We will allow you the opportunity to select another dog depending on the type of illness and proof of same from your veterinarian. We will not accept any financial responsibility (including veterinarian bills) for the animal you have already adopted.
Please remember to bring the monies for the adoption fee with you when you come to pick up your new companion & a leash. In order to allow you to take home your dog that day we request that these funds be cash only. This way we don't potentially get stuck with returned checks & returned check fees.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
