SANTA MARIA, Calif. – The jury weighing whether Michael Jackson (search) is guilty of child molestation headed home again Tuesday afternoon, completing a second full day of deliberations without a verdict.
The eight women and four men on the panel, ranging in ages from 20 to 79, deliberated all day Tuesday. They also deliberated all day Monday and for two hours after they got the case last Friday.
The jury panel was meeting from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. PDT with three 10-minute breaks but no lunch break.
On Tuesday, 100 fans milled about, sometimes singing along to Jackson songs from a boom box and hoisting signs such as one that read, "Don't Mess With MJ Fans."
Others chanted "Michael! Innocent!" One woman led a line of about a dozen children dressed in black pants, white shirts and black ties who performed a song that included the line, "We came to support Michael Jackson."
Fariba Garmani, 44, opened a box of white homing pigeons as fans chanted "Innocent" and set the birds free. She hoped to do it again when the verdicts come.
"They symbolize freedom so with each innocent verdict I'm hoping one will be released," she said.
Jackson was optimistic Tuesday as he awaited a decision by the jury in his child molestation and conspiracy case, the Rev. Jesse Jackson (search) said.
"Michael is very well embraced through all of this by his supporters throughout the world," the pop star's friend told reporters outside the courthouse.
The scene outside the courthouse was much calmer than on Monday, when the pop star's father showed up and news media and fans surged around him.
Rev. Jackson, who has been a Jackson confidant throughout the trial, was asked why he came to the courthouse during deliberations.
"If Michael's friends did not stand up for him in a public way, you would ask, 'Where are they?'" he said.
He also said that rumors have continued to swirl about Jackson's health and he wanted to reassure everyone that "he is resting comfortably" in spite of great back pain.
"Through all of this Michael remains amazingly optimistic — A, declaring his own innocence, B, declaring his confidence in the jury," Rev. Jackson said.
Some legal analysts have predicted an extended deliberations period because of all the threads to the case.
The 46-year-old singer is charged with molesting a 13-year-old cancer survivor in 2003, giving the boy alcohol and conspiring to hold his family captive to get them to rebut a documentary in which Jackson appeared with the boy and said he let children into his bed but it was nonsexual.
The pop star — who had his heyday in the 1980s with hits like "Thriller," "Beat It" and "Billy Jean" — faces more than 20 years in prison if he is found guilty of all 10 counts he's been charged with. If convicted on the molestation counts, Jackson could get several years in prison.
Some court observers have said the prosecution successfully argued its case for the alcohol offense but not for the conspiracy charge. The very serious charge of child molestation seems the most up-in-the-air to those who have watched and analyzed the trial proceedings.
If Jackson does get jail time, he would be in an area of prison where "selected needs people" are housed, FOX News has learned.
As the jury deliberated Monday, hundreds of fans and reporters gathered outside the courthouse.
Jackson supporters on Monday held signs declaring "Only love. No crime. He's innocent. Leave him alone," "We shall overcome" and "Peter Pan rules." One woman was spotted with a sign showing Mahatma Gandhi (search), Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and Jackson.
After the first full day of deliberations ended Monday afternoon, about 50 Jackson backers made the trip to Neverland's well-guarded gates, which are adorned with red paper hearts and red and white bunting.
Messages of support are written on hearts tacked to the estate's low wood fences. Kim Newell of Melbourne, Australia, wrote: "Thank you for everything. Vindication is nearly here."
A few dozen fans held hands in a circle and prayed in the driveway.
"He will not lose, not one thing that he has worked for," said Goward Horton, a 24-year-old who led the prayer. "Not this ranch, not his children, not anything. The devil will be defeated."
Later, an SUV with doors open blasted "Thriller," "Billie Jean" and "Smooth Criminal" as Horton and others mimicked Jackson's dance moves on the winding two-lane road lined with horse ranches and green and yellow hills.
Little more than an hour into Monday's session, jurors told the judge they had a question. The query and its resolution were not publicly disclosed, drawing a protest from news organizations.
Media pool coordinator Peter Shaplen said Judge Rodney S. Melville (search) met with lawyers in his chambers to discuss the question and how it would be answered, but Melville did not plan to reveal to the public any details.
The procedure was considered unusual. Normally, questions from the jury are a public record since they are submitted in writing by the jury foreperson.
An attorney for news organizations including The Associated Press filed motions seeking a transcript of Monday's closed proceedings, immediate access to any questions from the jury, and to any proceedings concerning those questions.
The singer's fans were outnumbered Monday by an international throng of reporters, photographers and TV crews anticipating any hint of development in the high-profile case.
FOX News' Catherine Donaldson-Evans, Trace Gallagher and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

- Annabel Crabb's party recipes: spicy nuts and passionfruit cocktail
- Behind the scenes at our party food video shoot
- More recipes from Special Delivery
- Cookbook review
Annabel Crabb has built a second career on the great Australian "bring a plate" tradition.
Better known as a political columnist, Crabb learned early in her career that sharing a meal with a politician was an easy way to gain background knowledge about Canberra power structures and decisions.
So when she joined the ABC, she pitched the idea of a television show where she'd turn up at a politician's house with dessert and grill them while they cooked the main course – "a naked attempt to incorporate my recreational interest into my professional life, because I really like cooking".
The fifth series of Kitchen Cabinet has just finished, with Crabb interviewing conservative Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi and the camera crew racing through the dessert scene before the fruit sank into her slightly-too-soft apple curd tarts.
Along with occasional cooking disasters, there have been many memorable moments on the show, such as Bronwyn Bishop pausing while sauteeing mushrooms to boast of flying upside down in an attack helicopter when she was Minister for Defence Industry, Science and Personnel.
It's also resulted in a happy spin-off, Special Delivery, the cookbook she has co-written with long-time friend Wendy Sharpe, the show's recipe consultant.
The book is based on the idea of making and taking food to people, an Australian tradition Crabb believes is ripe for a comeback.
"Taking food to people is a lovely thing – not just because you're trying to get into their house and get an interview but if they're feeling sick, or if they're a bit sad, or if they've just had a massive triumph at work.
"To show someone that you're thinking about them sufficiently to sink a bit of time into making something you think they might like is more thoughtful than buying them a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolate."
2D gingerbread houses
Once, for my daughter Audrey's class party, I promised to bake anything she liked. Her request? Gingerbread replicas of all her classmates. In the end, I got away with piping initials and faces on gingerbread figures. Here, with these 2D gingerbread houses, you get the fun of decorating, without the headache of gingerbread architecture, and there is no better housewarming gift than a gingerbread portrait of the new dwelling. Here comes the get-out clause: if you really aren't artistic, or you're in a hurry, just use a round biscuit cutter or drinking glass to cut some circles and pipe a border and the new house number on to the cooked and cooled biscuits.
410g (2 cups) plain flour
1 tsp ground ginger
tsp ground cinnamon
tsp fine salt
125g unsalted butter
55g ( cup) brown sugar
260g ( cup) golden syrup
tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp white vinegar
1 egg white
185g (1 cups) icing sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1. Sift the flour, ginger, cinnamon and salt into a mixing bowl. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a medium saucepan, then add the bicarbonate of soda and allow it to fizz. When the fizzing
subsides, add to the dry ingredients and stir well, then add the egg and vinegar and keep mixing to make a firm dough. Shape the dough into a fat rectangle, then roll it out to a five millimetre thickness – don't go too thin, or your biscuits will be delicate and hard to handle.
2. Now comes the arty part. Mock up an outline of the house on a piece of paper, and roughly sketch what you intend to pipe with icing. Keep it simple, but remember that some distinguishing characteristics, like cast-iron lacework or rows of roof tiles, will identify the house, and are repetitive and easy. Tend towards the larger size. Two or three bold 10 x 7.5 cm biscuits will result in more impact (and fewer meltdowns for the artist) than lots of fiddly little biscuits.
3. Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place your template on the dough and cut around it with a knife. Carefully lift your gingerbread on to the prepared tray and bake for seven to 10 minutes or until golden. Leave to cool on the tray while you get going on the icing.
4. Lightly whisk the egg white until frothy, then mix in the icing sugar and lemon juice to make a smooth icing.
Use a tiny nozzle to pipe your designs onto the gingerbread – get your eye in by practising on a sheet of baking paper first. Let the icing set before serving or transporting.
Makes about 12
To transport: Carefully pack into a tin or container, cushioning any more delicate architectural features with tissue paper.
Chocolate mousse with raspberry cream and honeycomb
This delightful confection went to Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull's farm at Scone, in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, when we were filming the third series of Kitchen Cabinet. We took the train partly because it is such a terrific train ride, and partly because my baby daughter Kate, a determined small assistant on that series, firmly refused to travel anywhere by car, which meant we were obliged to explore all manner of transport alternatives. Still, there is no feeling quite like taking a dessert on a train to eat with someone interesting. I would definitely recommend it. There is no use trying to fix something that isn't broken, so the mousse element here sticks to the traditional and elegant formula: chocolate, eggs and sugar. The fastest way to improve chocolate is by adding raspberries and cream, so I did that. The honeycomb? Well, that is just theatre.
120g chocolate, including at least 80g dark chocolate
4 eggs, separated
1 tbsp castor sugar
Honeycomb shards
165g ( cup) granulated sugar
1 tbsp runny honey
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Raspberry cream
100ml double cream
tsp vanilla paste, optional
50g fresh or frozen raspberries
1. First melt the chocolate. Conventional wisdom has it that you should always melt chocolate in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. But I would suggest that it isn't absolutely necessary to clatter about with bains-maries just to melt a bit of chocolate when you can treat it gently in the microwave (on medium for bursts of 30 seconds) or grate it into a hot pan that has been taken off the heat. Leave the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
2. Next, whisk the egg whites to firm peaks with a tiny pinch of salt, then slowly add the sugar and keep whisking until you have stiff peaks.
3. Lightly beat the egg yolks, then add to the slightly cooled chocolate and use a whisk to combine. Gently fold in about a third of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture to loosen it, then fold in the rest to the mixture, retaining as much air as possible. Pour into a serving dish (or small glasses) and leave to set for at least six hours, preferably overnight.
4. With all that waiting for the mousse to be ready, you have acres of time to put together those showy honeycomb shards. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Combine the sugar, honey and 1 tablespoons of water in a tall, heavy-based pan – use a stockpot, if you have one – and heat until it registers 154C on a sugar thermometer. This is called the "cracking stage". If you don't have a thermometer, test by dropping a little of the syrup into a bowl of cold water and then fishing out the result: if it is still stretchy, keep cooking; if it "snaps", it is ready.
5. Once you are at temperature, take the pan off the heat and sift in the bicarbonate of soda. Be careful – the mixture is awfully hot and it will foam and rise up the pan. Stir with a wooden spoon (or something else non-conductive) until combined, then quickly pour it onto the prepared baking sheet, getting it as thin as you can and smoothing it out with a spatula. Leave the honeycomb for at least 15 minutes to set. Store in a cool, dry place – but not the fridge, or it will go sticky.
Just before serving (or transporting), make the raspberry cream. Whip the cream and vanilla to soft peaks. Fold through the raspberries, crushing them a little as you go to give pretty red streaks, then spoon over the mousse. Break your honeycomb into shards and use to decorate.
Serves 4
A note about raw egg: You will notice that because we are not doing any cooking of the chocolate mousse, the raw egg will stay, well, raw. So think again if you are catering for people who might be nervous about eating raw egg – that is, pregnant women, the very young, the very old, or anyone who is unwell.
To transport: If you live in a perfect world, you will have collected lots of little glass yoghurt containers or straight-sided jars to decant your mousse into. Otherwise, it is absolutely fine to set everything together in a large bowl and scoop out onto individual plates at your destination. It also feels more pleasingly old school served this way. Don't forget the honeycomb shards.
Rhubarb and rose cordial
Rhubarb cordial is hard to beat for its glorious pink colour and can be made instantly grown-up with a squirt of soda water and a splash of vodka.
400g trimmed rhubarb, finely sliced
about 200g castor sugar
1 tsp citric acid
4 drops rosewater
1.Put the rhubarb into a non-reactive saucepan with 250ml (1 cup) of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the rhubarb is completely soft and squashy, about 10 minutes.
2.Set a sieve lined with muslin (cheesecloth) over a bowl, then tip in the rhubarb and leave for 10 minutes. Now squeeze the rhubarb pulp firmly to get out as much juice as possible. Weigh the juice and add half that amount of sugar, then pour back into the pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.
3.Stir in the citric acid, then leave to cool completely. Add a few drops of rosewater; its potency varies, so taste as you go.
Makes about 375ml (1 cups)
Sterilising jars or bottles: My preferred method is a hot wash (ideally in a dishwasher) followed by 10 minutes in a 140C oven.

Licensed Battlefield Guide Exam
Gettysburg National Military Park will offer a written examination for new Licensed Battlefield Guides in December 2017. This exam is the first step in a multi-level Licensed Battlefield Guide examination process. No date has been selected for the test and no further details are being announced at this time. Those interested in pursuing a license to guide at Gettysburg National Military Park should continue to monitor the park's website for periodic updates. We anticipate announcing the exam date, details, and registration information in August 2017.
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Licensed Battlefield Guide (LBG) at Gettysburg National Military Park (GNMP). The following information provides details about the new, four-tiered LBG Examination Process and includes an attached information packet.
The LBG examination process and the materials herein have been reviewed, revised and enhanced on the cusp of two major milestones: the Centennial of the National Park Service (NPS) in 2016 and the 100th Anniversary of Licensed Guiding at Gettysburg in 2015. In preparation for the NPS' second century of service, parks are being "called to action" to connect with and create the next generations of park visitors. At Gettysburg National Military Park, Licensed Battlefield Guides serve as a vital cornerstone of the visitor's experience and will continue to play a key role in the Park's mission moving forward.
The entire LBG examination process was revised based on feedback from GNMP staff, a team of current Licensed Battlefield Guides, the visiting public, and past successful and unsuccessful examinees. Under the leadership of the Supervisory Park Ranger a diverse committee of six current LBGs, representing over 100 years of collective guiding experience, conducted a thorough review of past examinations. The resulting product is a four-tiered examination process approved by the GNMP Superintendent that is transparent, open, comprehensive, thorough, focused, dynamic, and challenging.
The objective of the four-tiered LBG Examination Process is to license the most qualified, knowledgeable, skilled and professional individuals as Licensed Battlefield Guides at Gettysburg National Military Park. Each guide is expected and required to uphold a century-old tradition of mastering relevant core knowledge about the Battle of Gettysburg within the context of causes and consequences of the American Civil War –in order to interpret and communicate that knowledge to the visiting public in an engaging manner.
If you wish to earn the Gettysburg LBG license (permission to enter GNMP and provide a personalized tour for compensation) –a privilege, not an inherent right –you are required to successfully complete each tier of the four-tiered process in sequence within one examination cycle, which includes:
Tier 1 Written Examination
Tier 2 Panel Interview
Tier 3 Mandatory Information and Orientation Program
Tier 4 Oral Battlefield Examination
Each tier of the process will be scored according to a specific rubric developed and approved by the Gettysburg National Military Park and the testing committee. You must successfully complete the requirements of each tier in the process to advance to the next tier to earn the license to serve as an LBG at Gettysburg. Failure to successfully complete any of the four tiers means a failure of the entire examination process. In the event this occurs, however, you may attempt to earn your license the next time GNMP offers the full examination process to prospective LBGs.
Please read through the attached documents in order to familiarize yourself with the entire process.
Summer Internships at Gettysburg
Gettysburg National Military Park offers summer internships to college-level students who are self-motivated, enthusiastic, and interested in history. We prefer people who seek to share their talents while gaining valuable work experience. Internships are typically offered in the summer months when the park is busiest, lasting ten to twelve weeks from mid-May through mid-August. Positions are unpaid, although the park provides free housing and a cost of living stipend. Interns work forty hours each week and weekend work can be expected. Duties will include working with the public, preparation of interpretive programs, historical research, and provide assistance to visitors at the park information desk.
There are a limited number of internships available in the Division of Interpretation and Visitor Services at Gettysburg National Military Park. For further information about our Internships and how to apply, download our Informational Flyer on Summer Internships at Gettysburg.
Eisenhower National Historic Site also offers summer internships in Interpretation and Museum Services. For further information, visit the Eisenhower National Historic Site web site.
Applications for the 2017 summer season are no longer available.
Employment with the National Park Service
Employment opportunities with the National Park Service at Gettysburg National Military Park are announced through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and posted at USAJOBS.GOV. For a current listing of openings, visit https://www.usajobs.gov/

A cash-strapped ambulance service is taking taxpayers for a ride by spending £454,000 a year on a fleet of luxury cars for its executives.
Bosses who are presiding over £50million in budget cuts drive round in Jaguars and top of the range 4x4s – motors normally associated with football stars and their Wags, reports the Sunday People.
One manager at the East of England Ambulance Service is even claimed to have said the upmarket vehicle was useful for towing a horse box.
The perks were slammed as "obscene" yesterday, as the NHS tried to justify the luxury cars by saying those using them could put blue lights on top to get to emergencies.
Details of the extraordinary deal were uncovered by angry ambulance workers who sent a Freedom of Information request to their own trust.
They discovered the service spent £151,862 on leasing 30 company cars for managers between September 2014 and February last year. Separate figures show it spent £454,636 on 81 cars in the past year.
Cars handed out include a Jaguar XF – which cost £34,000 new, two £44,000 Land Rover Discoveries, and three BMW X3s, which cost £35,000 each.
An insider at the Ambulance Service, which has its HQ in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire, said: "It has caused a lot of anger and fuelled the perception that managers are looking after themselves rather than looking after their staff.
"The public needs to know public money is being spent on managers driving around in high end cars. One manager has been telling everyone she needed something bigger to pull her horse box so she got a Toyota Land Cruiser.
"It is quite obscene at a time when frontline staff are having their workload increased."
Sources said the ambulance service's £142,200-a-year chief executive, Robert Morton, 52, is set to swap his current Range Rover for a faster Range Rover Sport which costs £60,000 new.

Labour shadow health minister Justin Madders said: "Patients and paramedics will be alarmed that, with the NHS facing its deepest crisis in a generation, senior managers behave like they're in an episode of Top Gear.
"At the election the Tories promised to invest in frontline services. Judging by these reports, they have failed.
"Ministers need to urgently intervene and call on these managers to make a U-turn on their lavish expenses."
Unions say the ambulance service – which covers Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire – has the worst staff turnover rate in the country. More than 300 frontline staff have quit in the past 12 months.
They say staff shortages mean paramedics regularly work 14 to 15 hour shifts instead of the normal 12. One crew recently worked 20 hours.
Official figures show the trust failed to hit NHS performance targets for answering emergency calls within eight minutes last month.
The trust says it is dealing with a "significant" rise in 999 calls. Crews got to 55 per cent of serious calls and 48 per cent of second priority emergencies within eight minutes. But the NHS target is 75 per cent.
A coroner branded the service "chaotic" after three-month-old Bella Hellings died when paramedics took more than three times longer than the target time to reach her home in Thetford, Norfolk, in 2013.
And an ambulance took two hours to get to chef Paul Nelson, 26, who collapsed at home in Blakeney, Norfolk, and later died of a brain haemorrhage.
The staff member said: "Our performance statistics in March are quite horrendous. People are leaving because of pressure of work.
"Frontline staff are struggling to cope. It is exhausting. Directors know that and they don't appear to be doing anything about it. There is a feeling there is a big disconnect between the board and staff." Dave Prentis, boss of public services union Unisonsaid: "Bosses say they want to save money, yet they can find the cash to lease lots of swanky cars for senior managers."
The East of England service has been dogged by claims about lavish spending in recent years. Three years ago it was criticised for spending £247,406 on public relations staff – enough for ten NHS paramedics.
East of England ambulance bosses said lease cars are isssued so officers can work across an area covering 7,500 square miles. Members of staff can choose their model.
A spokesman said: "Ambulance officers' lease cars are fitted with blue lights and sirens, so that they can respond to patients, manage the scene at serious or major incidents or respond in an emergency.
"All new blue light user cars also have 4x4 or all-wheel drive capability. The trust allows a set level of expenditure. Managers can make a contribution for the car of their choice if it is over that level."
More than 750 student paramedics have been recruited in the past two years and the trust is trying attract a further 300.
The spokesman added: "Staff are working extremely hard to provide the best service to patients and the trust is actively addressing staff wellbeing and tackling late finishes.
"The trust has invested significantly in its ambulance fleet and has the most modern ambulance fleet in the country."

Templar Relics are charm-like special items, specific to the Diablo III follower Templar class. These relics boost Kormac the Templar's abilities and attributes. The Templar Relic cannot be equipped to a player or other follower classes. These relics are the Order's sacred items: ritual chalices, shards of holy blades, sanctified texts and holy water vials.
Templar Relics can roll up to 6 affixes that can normally be rolled on an amulet (except sockets, critical hit chance, Life %, class-specific affixes or player-only characteristics bonuses). As of patch 2.0, Magic Find cannot roll on the follower items. There are no special affixes exclusive to Templar, except for legendary guaranteed effects (see below).
Rare quality relics can be crafted by the Blacksmith.
There are three Legendary relics Kormac can use, all of them drop at level 61 or later:
- Relic of Akarat: 5 affixes and allows all 8 skills to be learned at once.
- Enchanting Favor: 5 affixes and Kormac becomes unkillable (cannot enter a waver state, always remaining active no matter how hard he is hit).
- Hillenbrand's Training Sword: 5 affixes and halves the cooldowns of Kormac's skills.

Masco (NYSE:MAS) reported its Q2 2014 earnings after hours on 7/28/14 with the results topping consensus expectations. Revenue of $2.26B was in-line with expectations, while EPS of $.32c beat expectations by $.04c per share. Revenue increased by 5% on a YoY basis, and the company saw growth in both its North American and International business segments. The results from Masco highlight an important part of the original thesis regarding the company, a geographically diversified business benefiting from strength in the European markets this quarter. This is in contrast to other companies tied to the housing or housing supplies market solely in the US, where the nationwide boom experienced last year has taken on more of a local level recovery in 2014.
An interesting item of note comes from the recent earnings disappointments from other housing names, such as Lumber Liquidators (NYSE:LL) and D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI). These misses highlight a theme I anticipate chronicling in more detail, which is that a macro trade in housing-related stocks provided a sector-wide boost over the last 24 months. That trade is over, which is creating opportunity in a number of stocks in the sector, as investors sell the entire sector without giving credence to those companies that continue to outperform. Masco provided a great example of this continued outperformance in its most recent quarter.
I would continue to focus on the revenue growth and related operating margin % expansion. The thesis surrounding Masco is that the company is significantly leaner than it was prior to the housing downturn, and moderate revenue growth, will have an outsized impact on operating margin expansion. This thesis played out entirely during the quarter, as adjusted operating margin % expanded 140 bps to 11.0% compared to the prior quarter. This on the back of a respectable 5% increase in revenue, but not the rip-roaring increase most companies need, to see that type of operating margin expansion. Continue to watch Masco as a stock worth owning for the long term in a sector that is generally out of favor with investors today.

Copper Fox reports BC Assays up to 0.42 g/t Gold, 2.80 g/t silver over 54.3m
Copper Fox Metals Inc CUU:CA announced assays from its Schaaft Creek Project in northwest BC. Results include 0.42% copper, 0.27 g/t gold, 0.02% molybdenum, 2 g/t silver over 532.1 metres, including 0.7% copper, 0.42 g/t gold, 0.04% molybdenum, 2.8 g/t silver over 54.3 metres, and including 0.47% copper, 0.37 g/t gold, 0.02% molybdenum and 3 g/t silver over 213.7 metres.
President Elmer Stewart commented, "The decision to add another diamond drill at Schaft Creek was based on the visible mineralization encountered in DDH CF398 and DDH CF399. DDH CF398 has confirmed two very significant aspects of the Schaft Creek deposit being a zone of high grade copper mineralization at surface; potentially a "starter pit" and a substantial increase in the copper and gold grades towards the bottom of the hole. Drilling is now underway to test the down dip extension of the mineralization at the bottom of DDH CF398."

If you're bemoaning your fate after the failure of a startup business, don't feel bad -- you're not alone. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 47 percent of businesses founded in 2005 were still alive five years later. Instead of looking at a failed startup as a black mark on your resume, you can turn the lessons you learned during your time into accomplishments that can help you land a new position.
Make a list of your accomplishments while you were at your startup. Look over the list and think of actionable bullet points you can add to your resume. For example, suppose your startup was a consulting firm and you project-managed a proprietary piece of software designed to help manage consultant bids and contracts. In this instance, you could add a bullet point under the heading of "Project management."
Craft your resume with an eye toward your list of accomplishments. Don't try to hide the fact that you ran a startup that didn't make it. Instead, highlight your strengths and use concrete examples of some of your accomplishments with the startup, such as large accounts you landed or successful projects you oversaw.
Create a personalized website that highlights your professional achievements. This is especially important if you were working in a creative capacity at your startup. On your website, put up any videos, illustrations or graphics that you created for your former company.
Take additional classes or training while looking for a new position. This will not only help you learn new skills, it will also put you in touch with other people in your industry who might know companies that are hiring.
Contact a professional recruiter to help with your job search. Find one who recruits specifically for your industry to help get the inside track on any new job openings. It is important to seek work in your field of expertise to improve your chances of landing the right job.
Network with your former colleagues, customers and clients. Let them know that you are back in the marketplace for a job.
Join a professional organization or a local users group to help meet people outside your network.

If you have never tried snowshoeing, you don't know what you are missing! We are often the only people out on the trails and we can go anywhere we can hike, no need for a groomed trail. The beauty of the area is always there but there's something really special about seeing it all coated in snow. The bare trees allow for views you don't see in the summer. Strap on some snowshoes on your next winter trip and see for yourself, it's amazing!
Jo purchased this cabin in 2002
We go to the north shore as often as we can, sometimes several times a year. We finally decided owning a home 'up north' made sense for us so we bought a vacation home in Lutsen. Of all the areas along the north shore, Lutsen has the most activities nearby making it a great place to go for an active vacation. We love to hike, snowshoe, golf and of course, watch the 'big lake', all of which we can do within 1/2 a mile of our home.
Our home is one of only 12 homes that share 20 acres, it's not part of a resort so it's quiet and private but still really close to everything we love to do in Lutsen. We appreciate being out on our screen porch or deck and seeing trees and the lake, not other buildings. What made us fall in love with it is the decor. The home was built in 2001 and decorated right after September 11th so the builder's professional decorators chose a red and white and blue color scheme, it's very colorful and so unique. When we say it's cute, it really is, people love staying here.
We have returned to Kansas and it is over 100 here today, not the beautiful Minnesota weather we have
grown used to this last week. A wonderful stay was had by all and hopefully, we will get to return sometime in the future.
Thank you for sharing your cozy cabin with us. We will be sure to pass the info to any of our friends who may be heading your way.
Thanks again,
Jo was great regarding communication and answering any questions we had. Everything went smoothly from the time we arrived to when we left. Sleeps 6 plus an infant very comfortably and with the pull out sofa would easily sleep 8.
50 steps from the winery, 3 min from Superior National golf course and down the road from Caribou Highlands. I would without a doubt stay here again.
We had a beautiful stay in the cabin and love the space for the family of 4 we spent there. The place is well kept and fully furnished with everything. We will definitely return to Superior.
Great location. Well maintained. Very comfortable to sleep 8. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We came up Memorial Weekend and loved our stay. We came as a group of 6 friends. The location was great as we did a hike on the Superior Hiking Trail, were able to walk to the winery, did the alpine slide, and drove into Grand Marais for a day. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great weekend. Thanks for helping us have a wonderful time.
This house is in the perfect location for Lutsen activities. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable ski vacation. We would recommend this property without hesitation.
The only reason I didn't give this home 5 stars is because of the issue we had with the coffee pot(s). The home is spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. Jo was wonderful to work with and is going to replace the coffee pot.
The newest section of the Gitchi-Gami State Trail was just completed and it starts just down Ski Hill Road from our home. Now you can bike or walk on a dedicated asphalt path all the way to Schroeder!
More big news, the Caribou Express high speed chair lift will be installed for the 2013/14 ski season!
Coming soon! North Shore Winery and micro brewery is being built across from our home. We will add an update here when it opens.
Enjoy a sleigh ride, sled dog ride, cross country skiing, or snowshoeing along Lake Superior's North Shore at Lutsen Resort less than 1/2 a mile away. Sleigh rides are also available at Cascade Lodge.

by Cindy Fiala and Philip Byers
We are all specialists in what we do—called, educated, skilled, passionate and in most cases, paid to get the job done. We understand that people outside of our area of expertise don't fully understand what we do, and this would be true. It's part of our job to lead, cast vision, set goals and develop in order to bring the goals to reality. This all takes a great leader. There is an interesting Catch-22 that happens, however, as we lead forward in our specific areas. Whether you lead a church, a ministry, lead in the corporate world and even in our homes, there is a drift toward exclusion, separation, and division. This drift creates territorialism and territorialism creates the dreaded SILOS.
By their very definition, silos are meant to keep something contained and separate from anything else. And the truth is that every ministry leader has been hired to be the champion of that ministry, but when it gets to the point of territorialism and self-containment, it becomes dangerous for the church and limits everyone's ability to do what God is calling each of us to do—reach our communities for Christ and creating an environment where disciples are making other disciples for generations to come.
The hard truth about silo thinking and territorialism is that it reveals less about our strengths and more about our weaknesses and fears. When we drift into silo thinking we fall in the rut of self-protection, self-promotion and self … well, self everything. Collaboration and integration are the complete 180 of self; we become focused on the bigger picture, the main mission and vision, and everyone begins to push the rock from the same side, rather than trying to push for every other side limiting any traction at all.
Romans 12:3-6a says it well: "For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly."
We're just better together!
So what is the answer to territorialism and silos? A few years ago we decided to wrestle this topic to the floor and discovered some truths about collaborating and integrating ministries. In doing so, we have broadened our ability to effectively see our mission as a whole working toward one goal and not many, mini-missions working against each other. As we work together, we benefit from the expertise of other people with different gifts and talents, we gain resources and time that we wouldn't have had if we pushed forward on our own. Here are five ways you can integrate ministries and break-down silos.
5 Ways to Integrate Ministries
- Get the Right People in the Room
As a people who like to drive hard to get the right results, we find ourselves asking the question, "Who are the right people?" The people who have different vantage points within the organization are the right people. We need to make sure each vantage point is represented. It's important that everyone knows the objective of the meeting in advance. If your senior leader(s) is not in the room, be sure that your vision aligns with their vision. I (Philip) have found it can be very frustrating and wasteful to head down a path that does not align with your senior leader's vision. Learn from our mistakes, make sure your senior leadership is on board and you have the right people in the room.
- Apply The 80% Rule
One of my own (Philip) personal struggles is control. I often have to really ask myself the question: Do I want to be right or do I want to get it right?
When working in a room with a group of leaders, there are usually a lot of opinions and ideas. A few years ago we were introduced to a groundbreaking principle called the 80% rule (thanks to @willmancini and Auxano). The 80% rule is this: It is better to have 100% of the people agree on 80% then 80% of the people agree on 100%. When working as a team, we have to shift our expectations and do a quick check—Are we all 80%? (We use a simple thumb-up or thumb-down from each person.) If yes, decision made. If no, keep talking. Is it all about my idea or the best idea winning out? If I truly want a group of people to integrate, then we all have to check our ego at the door. And remember, it's more important to get it right than to be right.
- Clearly Define the Win
Henry Cloud in his book Boundaries for Leaders says that one of the critical roles of the leader is to ensure that everyone has focused attention. Before the team disburses into action, everyone must have a clearly defined focus. If we call ourselves successful after this initiative, what will we accomplish? Name it! Be specific! We call this the "win." Then organize everything you do around the win. Make decisions that help drive toward the win. Then evaluate your effectiveness around the win that your team previous defined (see #5).
- Assign Ownership
Coming up with a great idea is good, but coming up with the proper plan to execute the great idea is essential. As leaders, we have to assign ownership to each piece of the plan. This is a critical component because this group of people may not typically work together. If it doesn't get assigned ownership then it's likely it will not happen. Accountability is a key ingredient to the accomplishment of any team-oriented task. For example, at the end of your planning meeting make sure that everyone can clearly state back the win and what their role is in accomplishing the win. As we often say, clarity is king.
- Conduct a Blameless Autopsy
Andy Stanley says, "We evaluate what we value and we value what we evaluate." We call this the blameless autopsy. This step is often one that is overlooked. With a sense of a job well done, we can be quick to move on to the next project or goal. I think this is a step that great leaders won't let their teams miss. The evaluation is necessary because it is often in the reflection that we learn our greatest lessons.
The second element of your blameless autopsy should be to go back to the "win" that you identified (see #3) and then evaluate it. Did we do what we said we were going to do? What numerical data are we seeing? The event we just did might have had some great stories, but did we achieve what we were trying to accomplish? (i.e. Did more first time families show up because of this event? Track it, go to your database and look up that number.) That is the tough question that we must ask.
The third element would be to ask, "What did we learn?" It is often in the stillness after the storm where we have gained our most useful insight. Use this prayerful reflection as a team to determine your success.
One of our church values is Love Story, "Celebrating God's big story and every new one He writes." Story should be the first element of that evaluation. What are the stories that God is writing through the work you have accomplished as a team? Celebrate what God is doing. Celebrate the way He has allowed you and your team to be apart of His work.
One of our recent success stories centered around a whole church integration. We recently developed six core values that we think will drive our church for the years to come. We asked ourselves, "What would be the best thing we could do that would help every person in our church know and understand our values at a deeper level?" Our one word as a church is "family." We decided that the best way to accomplish this would be to create moments where families could have conversations around these values. We organized a six-week worship series centered on the values. We then created discussion questions for every adult small group in our church to discuss. We had all of family ministry (early childhood, elementary, and students) teach on the values with large group time and small group discussion. The buzz that was created by our integration was unbelievable. We had husbands and wives discussing their Sunday sermon in their small group with friends and then having spiritual conversations at the dinner table with their kids. It was some of the most fruitful six weeks of ministry we have seen. We are convinced that it would not have been nearly as productive without the hard work of integration among all of our teams.
At the end of the day, we are still figuring this out or as we like to say, "We're building the plane in the air." But we did push hard to have these conversations, and because of that we are truly better together. We leave our feelings and any personal agendas at the door in order to be "all in." We bring others into the conversation and partner with other ministries within our church.
When people collaborate, when ministries tear down silos and work together, when churches partner with each other, we become and live in the reality of what Christ called us to do! We will see greater things. We will be filled with awe and see wonders and miracles (Acts 2:43). We will have "glad and sincere hearts" (Acts 2:47).
Cindy is the Family Ministry Pastor at Preston Trail Community Church in Frisco, TX.

She and her husband John are parents to three plus two and are stupid in love with five-and-a-half grandlittles.

|Sean-Jimmy Conflict
|General Information
|Intimacy Level
|Good Terms, Ex-Rivals, Former Teammates
|Conflict Started
|Eye of the Beholder (104)
|Conflict Status
|Ex-Rivals as of Take On Me (316)
The conflict between Sean Cameron and Jimmy Brooks began in Season 1 of Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Conflict History
The conflict between Sean and Jimmy arose when Sean returned to Degrassi Community School to repeat grade 7. His former classmate Jimmy, now in grade 8, seemed to take pleasure in reminding Sean of his remedial status. Although they had several confrontations throughout the year, their conflict came to a head when Jimmy's girlfriend Ashley, high on ecstasy, hooked up with Sean during a year-end party at her house. Then in season three when they were in detention along with Hazel, Toby, and Ellie everybody became friends with each other, so now Jimmy and Sean are on good terms with each other.
Season 1
In Eye of the Beholder, Jimmy is unintentionally rude to Sean, who is repeating the 7th grade. At the school dance, Jimmy is bragging about the 8th graders-only after party and tries to aggravate him. When he pushes Sean too far, Emma saves Sean from getting into further trouble by asking him to dance.
In Basketball Diaries, Sean joins the basketball team, and is envied by Jimmy. He grows afraid of being cut from the team over Sean, and takes drastic measures to look better than him. Jimmy takes his best friend Spinner Mason's Ritalin, even though he doesn't have ADHD. Jimmy's use of Ritalin boosts his game. Jimmy then fouls Sean on purpose and gets cut from the team.In Under Pressure, Sean is stressed out over exams, especially over his media immersion online test, and is convinced that he failed it.The pressure gets to Sean when little comments from Jimmy toss him over the edge, one things leads to another, and Sean and Jimmy are fighting after school, until Emma and Ashley break them up.
In Jagged Little Pill, Ashley makes out with Sean in front of Jimmy and then dumps him, telling him everything she thought of their relationship which hurt him deeply.
Season 2
In When Doves Cry (1), Jimmy refers to Degrassi as a zoo as the school was full due to have merged with the closed down high school. When he saw Sean, he quipped, "Look, there's one of the monkeys now."In Karma Chameleon, word gets around the school that Ashley is going on a date with Sean to the movies. Jimmy, who is beginning to slowly rekindle his relationship with Ashley, confronts Sean in the hallway. He tells Sean that he and Ashley are back together, and warns Sean to stay away from her. Sean says he hasn't heard this, and that he'll ask Ashley about her relationship with Jimmy when he takes her out at the end of the week. Jimmy lunges at Sean, but their scuffle is quickly broken up by Craig Manning.
In Drive, Jimmy does not attend a boys-only get together at Craig's house after learning that Sean will be there.
In Message in a Bottle, Jimmy is holding a party and gets nervous when Sean turns up and begins drinking his parents' alcohol. When Sean breaks a bottle, Jimmy kicks him out.
Season 3In Take On Me, in Saturday detention everything changes. The attendees are Sean, Ellie, Toby, Hazel and Jimmy, and everyone has to reveal why they were there in a game of truth or dare. They are all bonding when Mr. Raditch separates them. However, they all end up regrouping and take a trip through the school, ending up on the rooftop. Later, just as Ellie is getting ready to take a group photo, her tape recorder falls out and it reveals that she was double crossing Sean, which the others are disgusted by. On Monday, all of the attendees are friends except for Ellie.
Season 6
In The Bitterest Pill, they were seen sitting next to each other at J.T. Yorke's funeral.
- Jimmy was a month older than Sean: Jimmy was born in September 1988, while Sean was born in October 1988.
- They both had romantic feelings for Ellie Nash, but only Sean dated her.
- They both kissed Ashley Kerwin, but only Jimmy had a relationship with her.
- Sean used to be friends with Jimmy's close friends Spinner Mason, Craig Manning and Marco Del Rossi.
- They were both originally members of the Class of 2006 but each of them had to repeat a grade: Sean had to repeat Grade 7 from 2001 to 2002 and Jimmy had to repeat Grade 12 from 2006 to 2007. While Sean was expelled in Here Comes Your Man (2), Jimmy graduated with the Class of 2007 in We Built This City.
- Their girlfriends did not approve of them fighting each other.
- They both were involved in the 2004 school shooting.
- They were both members of the Degrassi Basketball Team and the Degrassi Hockey Team.
- They both made their first appearances in Season 1: Jimmy in Family Politics and Sean in Eye of the Beholder.
- Sean started dating Ellie in Take On Me, the same episode in which Jimmy started dating Hazel Aden.
- In Drive, Sean sarcastically referred to Jimmy as Spinner's girlfriend.

Learn what's trending across POPSUGAR. View in slideshow We're thrilled to present the following post from celebrity stylist, author, and reality TV show star Tabatha Coffey! Those of you who watch Tabatha Takes Over know by now that I'm generally not the mushy type. But since it is February I thought, "What could be more romantic than a blog dedicated to love — the hair products and tools I love most, to be exact?" In honor of St. Valentine, I present to you the nearest and dearest to my hairdresser's heart. Xoxo, Tabatha Source: WireImage Shop Brands L'Oreal My Serum: K-Pak Color Therapy Restorative Styling Oil Typically, oils and serums can be really heavy — especially on fine hair like mine — but K-Pak Color Therapy Restorative Styling Oil (available at Joico salons) never is. It gives incredible shine, and smooths away frizz and flyways without weighing hair down. It works as well on fine hair as it does the thickest, coarsest hair, which is why I love it. For fine hair like mine, rub a teeny drop between your hands and smooth over dry hair from midshaft to ends. For hair that's thicker and coarser, apply one pump to damp hair (again from the midshaft to ends), blow hair dry, and then reapply as needed for additional gloss and control. The real key to using a serum or oil is to apply only from the midshaft down — never to the scalp — to prevent hair from looking dirty or greasy. My Dry Shampoo: Tigi Session Series Dry Shampoo This is the perfect pick-me-up that everyone should have in their purse or at their desk, because it really does make hair respond like clean hair when you spray it at the roots. It's also great for clean, fine hair, just to give it a boost of body. I especially love that the mist is superfine, lightweight, and doesn't leave any visible residue on the hair, which is great for people with dark hair or those who are heavy-handed. It can buy you an extra day or two forgoing the shampoo for all you busy women out there, and will leave hair fresh and odor-free. When you apply, spray arms-length away, applying at the scalp area. Wait a minute, gently rub it into the scalp, and brush hair through. Dry shampoos have a matte finish, though, so if you want a little shine, also add a drop of my go-to serum. Voilà! Fresh, revived hair. (Available through Tigi salons.) My Hair Spray: L'Oréal Elnett Everyone should have a great hair spray that is light, workable, and doesn't give you helmet head. For those reasons, Elnett ($13) is my number one choice. I love that you can spray it on when hair is finished, you can use it with Velcro rollers to give your hair body, and that you can layer it throughout the day without hair getting heavy or tacky. It's virtually impossible to overuse, and always brushes out easily. L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray Strong Hold $15.99 from Walgreens Buy Now See more L'Oreal Clothes and Shoes My Short-Hair Brush: Denman For bobs and shorter hair like mine, nothing beats a Denman brush ($9 to $15). It has a slight curvature to it that's perfect for giving ends a slight, modern-looking roundness; not the old-fashioned roundness that you get from a round brush. Denman brush $9 from folica.com Buy Now My Long-Hair Brush: Mason Pearson And for those with longer hair, a Mason Pearson brush ($190) is the queen of brushes for a reason: it works. Its natural bristles provide the perfect amount of tension during blow-drying, to get long hair smoother-than-smooth. Mason Pearson brush $190 from neimanmarcus.com Buy Now My Tools: Professional-Strength Blow-Dryers Professional-strength tools are an investment you will never regret; they really make a difference. Professional blow-dryers like the one I use are lightweight yet powerful. They're faster (saving you lots of time in the morning), have a cool-shot button that's great for setting body in fine hair, and the adjustable heat and speed settings allow you to tailor the dryer to meet your needs. Source My Tools: Professional-Strength Flat Irons If you regularly straighten your hair, you're going to want protection in the form of a professional flat iron. I say this because professional flat irons usually have a special high-tech coating on the plates that helps protect hair from damage as you style. Like professional blow-driers, they also have adjustable heat settings so that you can set your iron to a heat that's right for your hair type and condition. Source My Tools: Professional Curling Irons I don't curl my hair (obviously), but if you do, then a large-barrel, professional curling iron is the way to go. It will create loose, mermaid-like waves that are modern and sexy, and help you avoid that dreaded 1980s prom look.

Technically, I can think of better forms of straight muscle guy torture than tickling, like making a guy watch a video of himself being tickle tortured on YouTube. Now that's humiliating. Damn, those are some oiled up, bound, vulnerable feet. I wonder how the guy ended up in that situation. Maybe he tripped? Or someone put a trail of his favorite candy in a hotel room hallway, leading to the bed. And then history was made. We'll never know. (Hint: he did it for 20 bucks.)
At least this next one has the tickle victim striking back by going after the armpits of his tormenter. He seems to distract himself enough in his efforts that he forgets to pretend to be as ticklish as it seemed he was initially. It's almost like he finds it too difficult to do two things at the same time, tickle and laugh. I wonder if he can ejaculate and chew gum at the same time. Can anyone?
To quote some of the commenters on the next one:
- "what did he do get tickle like that"
- "What size are those edible looking feet?"
- "Fuck!!! Is very sexy"
Is very sexy, indeed! If you're a foot pervert. Or giggle pervert. Or, better yet, a foot giggle pervert.
I've left what looks to be the most intense tickling for last. Yes, it's the infamous double brushing technique. Plus the rare hoodie/ski mask combo. That's a lot of shame for the tickler when the ticklee is super exposed. Seems unfair. Or maybe he's just trying to avoid getting oil all over his face.
Come this far? Then you'll definitely want to check out our review of Male Feet 4U and My Friends Feet, our highest rated foot fetish sites. Plus Jason Strong Tickling, just reviewed fresh.

Good news on the Amazon, bad news on warming: Lovejoy
Almost 50 years after first studying the Brazilian rainforests, one of the world's top scientists says that there's finally a good news story to tell about the Amazon.
But on climate change, US conservation biologist Thomas Lovejoy warns that the world may be deluding itself thinking that two degrees of global warming in the future will be 'safe.'

Pinshape has launched a competition giving you the chance to win a Robo C2 by simply creating a design which works with electronics.
Yet another competition has been launched by the 3D printing community Pinshape, this time in collaboration with Adafruit, M3D, MatterHackers and Robo3D. It's called Design for Electronics.
Lauren Watkins, Team Lead at Pinshape, explains the concept to ALL3DP:
"We're excited to add a new element to this contests – electronics. We hope this gives designers more creative freedom to make things that can be brought to life. The 3D design community never fails to impress us with their outstanding work so we can't wait to see what cool projects come out of this contest."
You have just under a month to get your designs ready. The contest ends on 15 October 2016 at 23:59:59 PST.
For first prize, the lucky winner will receive a Robo C2 3D printer. This machine has recently been launched on Kickstarter and it has already smashed the $100,000 funding goal.
The printer is an update from the original Robo R1 which was launched in 2012. Upgrades include the ability to print in 20+ materials, a print speed of 250mm/s, built-in WiFi and a touch screen.
As well as the Robo C2 3D printer, the first prize winner will also receive a $200 Adafruit Gift Card, 1 Spool of MH PRO Filament and 1 Spool of Nylon X Filament.
If you place second, you'll receive a Micro3D 3D printer and two spools of MH Pro filament.
If you land in third place, you'll receive a crafty 3D printing pen from Matter Hackers.
Win a Robo C2 Before Anyone Else!
To enter, all you need to do is design something you think can be used with electronics, or could integrate with electronics. After finalising your project, simply upload it to Pinshape. On the upload form, be sure to check the "Submit this model to the Design for Electronics Contest" box.
To be eligible, your entry can't have been previously used in a Pinshape contest, and it must comply with Pinshape's content policy. It won't cost you anything to enter the challenge, but entrants need to register with Pinshape before they can submit their design.
And if you have more than one design in mind, entrants can submit as many different ideas as they can come up with.
Judging the contest will be Noe and Pedro Ruiz from the Adafruit 3D Hangout Youtube show. Along with them will be; Robo3D CEO Braydon, and Explore Making from Pinshape.
The judges have a criterion which includes; 40 points for technical excellence and ease of printing, 20 points for design functionality and application, 20 points for design creativity and 20 points for presentation.
"We were really inspired by Adafruit's projects for this contest," says Watkins. "Their tutorials make the process much more approachable for those who might not have experience with electronics. We can't wait to see what cool designs our community comes up with that could incorporate any sort of electronics or electronic device"
The contest is open worldwide, so start designing. But if you're having trouble coming up with any unique ideas, check out Adafruit for some inspiration.

I play video games and like to go fishing.
I dislike watching sports, and don't understand people who do.
I have two grown children and do not want more. I am creative and while I'm not a musician, I usually end up surrounded by them.
Most of my friends are guys, I generally don't get along with other women, lets face it... chicks are bitches. I don't think spending a day at the mall is what you would call "fun".
I tried a Mr Right Now... I'm really hoping there is a Mr. Right somewhere out there. I don't mean marriage, I mean compatible enough to get along.
I have a good deal of dry humor. I also laugh at toilet jokes. George Takei usually has a lot of funny shit on his facebook.
I'd also like to meet others that enjoy fishing, and want a fishing buddy. Whovians, Browncoats, Supernatural fans, or any other geekdom, especially tabletop gamers.
I'm currently on assignment at Wizards of the Coast, and have my own business doing face and body art. Yes, that means if I ask to paint you naked...you ARE the canvas.
Ok, the rocket science was me being sarcastic.

For innings three through nine of Friday's home opener against the San Francisco Giants, the Dodgers played pretty good baseball.
They scored four runs. Their relievers held the Giants hitless and struck them out 10 times.
But the first two innings were not good at all, and the eight runs the Dodgers allowed cost them the game in an 8-4 loss at Dodger Stadium.
In the first inning alone, starter Hyun-jin Ryu allowed six runs with two outs — more than he had permitted in any of his 34 previous starts as a Dodger. They were all earned, technically, but he was also hurt by some bad defense. Three straight balls that should have been outs went for hits.
The second inning was also marginally better, beginning with a throwing error by shortstop Hanley Ramirez. Ryu was done after two innings, though, and the four Dodger relievers who pitched thereafter — Jose Dominguez, Brandon League, Chris Withrow and Jamey Wright — were dominant.
Offensively, the Dodgers out-hit the Giants but struggled with runners in scoring position, going 3-for-14 compared to San Francisco's 6-for-7. In his 2014 debut, Matt Kemp went 1-for-3 with a walk, driving in a run with a well-lined RBI double.
Adrian Gonzalez and Andre Ethier hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning.
Friday did mark the first time the Dodgers completed nine innings with Kemp, Ethier, Carl Crawford and Yasiel Puig all remaining healthy. But Puig did not play after he was benched for a late arrival to the ballpark.
Originally slotted to bat second, Puig was removed in favor of Kemp a little over two hours before first pitch.
Kemp was activated from the 15-day disabled list earlier in the morning, with Mike Baxter optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly first told Kemp he wasn't starting, which got the 29-year-old center fielder a little upset.
Puig did not get to the stadium in time to be on the field for the Dodgers' 9:40 a.m. stretch. He arrived sometime around 10, after which Mattingly made the decision to bench him for Kemp.
