She said Yes!
When my nephew was here in January he proposed to his girlfriend and I captured it with my camera. I was inspired to make a layout about it immediately but never got around to showing it here.
I used shipping tags, actual Scrabble tiles bought on etsy, black glitter letter stickers from GCD Studios, small letter and number stickers from Making Memories, and I think the woodland themed paper in the background is from Studio Calico.
I also used a Prima flower and crystals, two of my favorite things!

Love you card.
Here's a card I made recently. I used American Crafts heart patterned paper, a gray tag from a daily deal site that had a great price on them, and a paper doily from the Dollar Tree. I used Ranger alcohol ink to change the color from white to red. I also cut out a heart from a cardboard box and tied some embroidery thread around it.
What do you think?
If you like this card, you can buy it here.

I signed up at the CSI Project again this month to bring you projects with flowers. My blog is mainly scrapbooking, so those are the kinds of flowers that I have on hand.
Here I just simply embellished a Chinese takeout gift box by wrapping some ribbon around it and adding a flower from Michaels and 2 leaf pins from Maya Road. Very easy peasy!
Here's a card I did with some Doodlebug flower stickers that I adhered with pop dots so they'd pop off the page and added some ribbon from American Crafts for their stems. I also used a Tattered Angels mist as the background.
Here's another card I made very quickly. Each flower is made from ribbon and then put together into the shape of a heart. I bought this already in the heart shape on etsy from Little Red Cottage.
For more projects I've done using flowers, you can see my breast cancer awareness bra here and my digital photo frame here for starters. Come visit my blog for scrapbooking and paper crafting and some DIY painting posts thrown in once in a while.

We were doing a feature over at Practical Scrappers on using corrugated material on cards and I came up with this one but didn't turn it over in time so you readers are the first one to see it. I used American Crafts paper, a tag I got from Pick Your Plum daily deal site, a pin from Fancy Pants, ribbon from May Arts and a true love stamp from Fiskars. The ink is from Papertrey Ink and I love it. It's called Fresh Snow. I stamped TRUE LOVE with the ink and also inked up the heart that I cut from a cardboard box (and then ripped off the outside portion of it to show the corrugated part).
What do you think? If you'd like to buy it, you can find it in my etsy shop here.
Filed under cards, For Sale | Comment (1)Review: Wagner Heat Gun HT3500
Check this out! I have teamed up with the CSI Project to tell you about this gun. I recently received a Wagner HT3500 digital heat gun to review and see how I liked it in my little scrapbooking world. The HT3500 is the first digital heat gun introduced into the DIY market. Here's what I did with it:
I started out with this pretty dandelion stamp from Stampendous and used a Ranger embossing pad to stamp it onto my cardstock.
Then I dumped some Ranger clear embossing powder onto it while it was wet.
After pouring the excess back into the jar, it looks like a frosted dandelion.
And then after heating it up with the heat gun and melting the embossing power, it looks shiny and pretty!
All in all, it's pretty neat. It works great. Touch-pads activate 12 different temperature settings from 250° to 1350° F, so you can set the temp for whatever temperature your particular project needs. I left mine where it was when I took it out of the box, but if I were going to strip some paint I would turn it up obviously.
A cool feature that it has is there's no off button. When you're done, you put it in cool down mode and set it down wherever (upright) and it will cool itself down and then shut off.
I don't know if this is a standard thing with heat guns or not, but for my particular project in the scrapbooking studio I didn't like this feature because I have paper everywhere and didn't like sitting that thing down on my counter space for fear of knocking it over (because I'm accident prone). I do like this gun better than the one that I'm using which is specifically for scrapbooking (embossing) because it heated up faster and didn't take as long to melt the embossing powder. However, I do think it would also be nice if I were melting some paint or doing another project with it. Stripping paint is actually what I'm going to try next!
Wagner's website says it's ideal for removing multiple types of paint, remove flooring, rusted bolts, thawing frozen pipes and much more. I never thought about using it for rusted bolts! Here's a link to it on Amazon: Wagner heat gun. Now I'm off to do some stripping (paint!).

I made these for a gift for Christmas using photos of the person's dogs cause they're so cute (I took the photos too!) I have seen this a million times on the internet and wanted to make some. I printed off the photos onto regular printer paper because I thought it might be easier to adhere to the tiles. I went to Lowe's and bought the 4×4 ceramic (?) tiles with finished edges and just Mod Podged the paper photos to each tile and then put a few coats of Mod Podge on top, letting each coat dry a few days in between.
Aren't they adorable?
Filed under Projects | Comment (0)Digital photo frame decorated!
A while back I saw on a gal's blog where she had decorated her ugly ole digital photo frame and made it all pretty with scrapbooking paper and stuff, and I knew I wanted to do that with mine. I got this for Christmas in 2010 and haven't set it up yet and I feel bad about it because my hubby put a lot of thought into this gift for me. So I finally got going and fixed it up pretty for my living room.
Here's what it looked like before:
I used scrapbooking paper, Prima flowers and Prima crystal swirls. Here's what it looks like now:
And here's a closeup of the flowers. Love Prima flowers!
Much better, huh?

Filed under Life | Comments (5)You Are So Special card.
Here's a card I sold recently. That pretty purple background is actually made from a Fiskars stamp that i stamped in purple (Staz On ink) onto white cardstock and then cut down to fit the card.
The polka dotted paper is from BoBunny's Peacock Lane line. The stamp is from Hero Arts. Inside I stamped happy birthday, but it would also be nice as a card just to tell someone they're special.
Filed under cards | Comment (0)A very special mini scrapbook.
Here's a project I did recently that was shown on Practical Scrappers yesterday.
My aunt asked me to make her this special little scrapbook. She had written this little poem book type thing for my cousin (her nephew) for his 18th birthday. He passed away unexpectedly a year later and she received this back from his mother as a keepsake. She laminated it and has been carrying it around in her wallet ever since, but she wanted something more substantial so she asked me to do something with it.
I used a 7Gypsies chipboard tag album that looked like this before I started:
And I decorated with paper she picked out and then just prettied up the front. Here's the after:
This is what she was carrying around:
I actually scanned all the little pages and printed them out onto white cardstock so she could keep the originals. I covered every page (tag) in the album with black cardstock and just adhered my little pages in order to each one.
It's a cute little poem, so I thought I would share the inner pages with you here. If you can't see them well enough, just click on each photo and give it a second to adjust and it will be just the right size.
My aunt was so thrilled with this, and I was so happy to be able to give her a special keepsake of one of her nephews.
What do you think?

Howard re-injured his groin.
This season is over. Doesn't seem like they are ever going to be fully healthy.
Howard re-injured his groin.
This season is over. Doesn't seem like they are ever going to be fully healthy.
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2...h-groin-injuryGoalie Jimmy Howard's groin is acting up again; the same injury caused him to miss eight games in February. Howard won't play Wednesday night in New York against the Rangers.
Ty Conklin has been recalled from Grand Rapids and will start if he isn't claimed by any other team before noon Wednesday. If Conklin is clamed, Jordan Pearce would start for the Wings.
Joey MacDonald, who has a sore back, is unavailable to play.
"Jimmy Bedard is starting in New York," said coach Mike Babcock, trying to inject humor into the situation. Bedard is the Wings' goaltending coach.
No, it won't be Bedard. But it won't be Howard, either, as Babcock tried to be optimistic.
"I don't think it's anything major," said Babcock, indicating Howard began feeling tightness after Monday's 5-3 loss to Washington. "There was tightness and they're (trainers) trying to be cautious."
Conklin was 3-5-0 with a 3.40 goals-against average and .878 save percentage with the Wings before being demoted to Grand Rapids when MacDonald was brought up and outplayed Conklin in February when Howard was hurt.
In 12 games with the Griffins, Conklin is 8-4-0 with .915 save percentage and 2.40 GAA.
The Wings also have signed forward Riley Sheahan, a first-round pick in 2010 out of Notre Dame, to a pro tryout. Sheahan will join the Griffins this week.
http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index....klin_clea.htmlDetroit Red Wings goaltending coach Jim Bedard has seen more action in net lately than he or the team would like.
Bedard filled in at practice today for Jimmy Howard, who re-aggravated his groin and won't accompany the team to New York for Wednesday's game at the Rangers (7:30, NBC Sports Network).
"I don't think it's anything major, just some tightness,'' coach Mike Babcock said. "We're obviously trying to be cautious.''
The Red Wings have recalled Ty Conklin on emergency basis from the Grand Rapids Griffins. He must first pass through re-entry waivers by noon Wednesday. If Conklin clears, he will join the team in New York and start the game.
If Conklin is claimed (the team would be responsible for only half the remaining portion of his salary, which is basically nothing at this point of the season), then Jordan Pearce will make his first NHL start.
"I feel like whether you're a backup or a starter you got to be ready to go,'' Pearce said. "I prepare the same as I have been all week.
"I'm excited either way. I'm just happy to be up here. I'll get focused and play the game. We're kind of desperate for a win right now.''
Also, captain Nicklas Lidstrom participated in his first full off-day practice since suffering a deep bone bruise in his ankle on Feb. 25. He has skated two days in a row.
"We're hopeful he might be ready Saturday (against Carolina),'' Babcock said. "I'm not certain. If not Saturday, then next week. Big E and Kuba (Jonathan Ericsson and Jakub Kindl) got to be coming eventually.''
Johan Franzen (back spasms) skated for about 15 minutes before practice today but said he did not feel good.
Goalie Joey MacDonald will see a specialist today to get a read on the MRI he had on Monday for his ailing back. MacDonald said he is encouraged that the MRI showed he does not have a bulging disc, something he underwent surgery for in 2006.
Why wouldn't ANY team in the NHL just claim Conklin? seems like an extremely cheap way to **** over another team
I know that but even just after the trade deadline the roster rules change.
Expanded Rosters:
There's no 23-man limit to the roster after the trade deadline, so Florida is now free to exercise a more liberal strategy when filling up the bench. We may see the recall of forwards Jon Matsumoto andMichal Repik and defensemen Colby Robak and Nolan Yonkman. This as well as the return of Markstrom.During the NHL regular season, a team may have a maximum of 23 players on the active roster, except for the period from December 19 to December 27, during which no player may be assigned to the AHL or ECHL, and after the NHL trade deadline.
- After the NHL trade deadline, an NHL team is limited to four non-emergency callups from their minor league affiliates until their AHL or ECHL affiliate's season has ended (that is, callups from the AHL or ECHL who are not replacing injured players). Additions to the NHL roster, however, can come from players on the reserve list (see below) who leave collegiate, major junior, or European hockey clubs to sign entry-level contracts. Examples of the latter include Jack Johnson, who left Michigan late in the spring 2007 semester and jumped directly to the Los Angeles Kings for the end of the 2006–07 season, and Marcus Kruger, who was signed by the Chicago Blackhawks off of its reserve list; Kruger leftDjurgårdens in Sweden to sign his entry-level contract and was immediately dressed by Chicago.
23-man Roster
There may be a maximum of 23 players on each Club's playing roster at any one time from the commencement of the NHL regular season through the trade deadline. Prior to the start of the season, each Club must submit to the NHL its "Opening Day Playing Roster" which shall be comprised of not more than 23 players. Each Club must have a roster of at least 20 players, composed of 18 skaters and two goaltenders. Players on Injured Reserve do not count in the 23-man limit.According to Article 16 Section 4, the 23-man roster limit is in place from the conclusion of the preseason until 12:01 am on the day of the NHL's Trade Deadline. After that teams are allowed to have an unlimited active roster at the NHL level, provided players are signed to one of their 50 contract slots (note: players assigned back to their junior clubs do not count towards the 50).

Implosion! Injury bugs can kill a team.
EDIT: First round ouster!
It makes no sense being pessimistic, it wouldnt help anyway!
I didn't realize that, they should bring someone up to play for Homer then. I'd like to see Chris Conner play on that 4th line again, he was pretty good earlier this year.
But they probably won't do that since the Griffins are in a playoff push, as if that means something.
The Stranger: Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.
The Big Lebowski
"The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed."
Calling Chris Osgood....
Im definitely not about to let my team lose two games in a row to Michigan.
Its just not going to happen. Im not going to let my team do that."

By Jeffrey Geiser
On Saturday 19 October 2013 I took another small road trip. This time I traveled south to Gilroy, Ca. Gilroy doesn't border San Jose, but many people commute to and from there during the week for their jobs and other reasons.
Gilroy is home to the annual Garlic Festival which is usually held during the summer months. There are many other attractions and events held in Gilroy that Bay Area residents flock to during the year.
Gilroy is a fast growing community.
I went to watch and support my friend Terilynn and her band mates of a Mötley Crüe Tribute band, Crüella, once again. This time at a club called 9Lives.
March 10, 2012
hard rock/heavy metal
Cindy Lynne:
Mary Cary:
Terilynn Bench:
Windy Wild:
San Francisco Bay Area
During the Crüella set, I was approached by Jorge, the lead singer of Steel Horse. Steel Horse is a Bon Jovi Tribute band and they opened the show for the night. I had taken a few photos of Steel Horse to make sure my camera settings were dialed in. Jorge was interested in obtaining those photos, which I was happy to provide. I asked if he was in another band that played original music, but he said no. Jorge then told me that he and his wife Joyce are the owners of 9Lives. Steel Horse did a great job motivating the lovely ladies in the audience to get up and dance. Although we were not able to conduct a live interview due to time constraints, Jorge was gracious enough to answer some written general questions about 9Lives that I later e-mailed to him.
This was a special night for Crüella because the drummer, Windy Wild, was celebrating her birthday. I can't say enough about the musicianship of the members of Crüella. Windy is an awesome drummer as are Terilynn Bench on Bass, Mary Cary on Guitar and Cindy Lynn on vocals.
Please enjoy this interview with the co-owner of 9Lives, Jorge.
San Jose Our City Radio: What is the name of your business?
Jorge: 9Lives
San Jose Our City Radio: What is the name of the primary person that is connected to the business?
Jorge: Jorge & Joyce Briones
San Jose Our City Radio: Where are you located?
Jorge: 9Lives is located at
7430 Monterey Street
Gilroy, California 95020
(408) 337-1799
Map and venue image source: Google
San Jose Our City Radio: How long have you been in business?
Jorge: 3 years
San Jose Our City Radio: What is the main service or product?
Jorge: Concert venue. Live music. Showcasing local, regional and national talent
San Jose Our City Radio: What are your main hours of operation?
Jorge: Weekends 8:00pm – 1:00am. We have a comedy show on the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm
San Jose Our City Radio: Do you have a web site/e-mail?
Jorge: www.9livesclub.com
For booking information, please refer to this page on their website.
San Jose Our City Radio: What sparked you to get into this business?
Jorge: The club is actually Joyce's dream. Joyce shared her vision/desire to own a night club with me 24 years ago. After 20+ years of performing myself and an additional 15+ years in the event and event production industries the planets aligned and the opportunity to buy a struggling business presented itself. The rest as they say is history.
San Jose Our City Radio: When you initially bought the club, was there a lot of renovation needed before opening as 9Lives?
Jorge: We did a total remodel of the venue. With the exception of keeping the stage and bar where they were originally built we changed the look, feel and quality of the venue. Total renovation of the bar area including tiling the back wall, painted the entire interior, installed a new sound and lighting system, repainted the restrooms to tie into the main room and a ton of other stuff.
San Jose Our City Radio: Do you spend a lot of money for advertising to get exposure?
Jorge: 9Lives is really a destination venue. We are only open when we have shows so you can't just stop in any day or night of the week and get a drink at the bar. That makes what we do even more challenging. We spent a ton of money early on to try to gain exposure and build an audience for the venue. We learned that many of the traditional media avenues are not effective for us as a business. We spend the bulk of our advertising/marketing budget in targeted social media advertising, posters and distribution and building trade agreements with various media (mostly print) to promote larger regional/national headliners. Our local band shows (over 100 per year) are marketed primarily by the bands performing. When you produce an average of 130 shows per year you just can't put money behind every one. We get lots of online postings in multiple calendar listings and we are also on Facebook, Twitter and Reverbnation. Our web site and our e-mail list are probably our most effective tools for us. That and of course word of mouth.
San Jose Our City Radio: Have you found it hard to get attention about your business?
Jorge: Not by the bands but from the general public yes.
San Jose Our City Radio: What is the name your flagship service or product?
Jorge: Excellent live music.
San Jose Our City Radio: Do you have any deals going on at the moment?
Jorge: $3.00 mixed drinks and $15.00 buckets of beer (5) during the first hour of operation.
San Jose Our City Radio: Is there a time of day or week you are the slowest and need more exposure?
Jorge: Thursdays
San Jose Our City Radio: What is your busiest time?
Jorge: Saturday
San Jose Our City Radio: Have you ever had radio airplay? If not, have you ever considered it?
Jorge: Yes
San Jose Our City Radio: Let's talk a little about Steel Horse. Does Steel Horse have a web presence? What are the band members names?
Jorge: The band consists of Dave Kester (guitar), Forest Wilson (bass), Brian Gibbs (drums), Ian King (keyboards) and Jorge Briones (vocals). Yes, you can find Steel Horse on the web at a few places. Our official website is undergoing a major overhaul right now but here are the places you can find the band online.
www.steelhorsebonjovi.com (Official website)
San Jose Our City Radio: How long has Steel Horse been together?
Jorge: The band was formed in 2012 and has been performing for the past year.
San Jose Our City Radio: What first brought you to the music scene? How did you get started?
Jorge: I got started in the local music scene right after high school, in the mid 80's. I performed as a drummer for about 8 years and then made the switch to being a front man for Aces High, Razors Edge, Frenzy, Silent Chaos and Mach V. I kept at it through the 90's and "retired" in 2000. Then in 2009 Silent Chaos did a 20 year reunion tour and that got things started I guess. Dave (Kester) played bass for the bands return and then after we wrapped up tour, Joyce and I announced that we were opening 9Lives. Didn't intend to get back in another band but would occasionally do a "guest spot" with bands on cover tunes. I got asked by a friend who books major acts why I didn't do a tribute band and after a few months of him hounding me saying he could book the band if I formed it I caved. I asked Dave and it just went from there. Dave and me pretty much handpicked the band members. There really was no "audition" process to speak of. We got the guys that we wanted. Truth told, it's the strongest band I've ever been in and we have a ton of fun.
San Jose Our City Radio: Growing up, what bands influenced you the most?
Jorge: Too many bands and styles to list but the big ones for me were, Boston, Journey, Styx, Dokken and Bon Jovi. Growing up it was everything from Frank Sinatra and Elvis to Willie Nelson. I have pretty diverse musical tastes.
San Jose Our City Radio: Have you had a good deal of success with Steel Horse?
Jorge: We've had great success with Steel Horse. Over this past year we have performed in front of over 20,000 people and headlined shows like Redwood City's Concert on the Square, Gilroy Garlic Festival, Hollister Motorcycle Rally, Sunnyvale's Summer Concert Series and some other great shows. Plus we've got to play with some of the best tribute bands out there including Evolution and Cruella.
San Jose Our City Radio: Where would you like to see your music and business career go in the next five years?
Jorge: You know Steel Horse if a fun outlet for all of us in the band. We take it very seriously and we are professional in our approach. We are a concert band meaning that's what we give our fans and the venues that book us. We are all focused on being the best tribute band that we can be and performing at large-scale festivals, fairs, clubs and doing corporate events. I'm not going to lie, we are money band. We play to have a great time, put on a great show, build fans and make good money doing it. For 9Lives it's about continuing to grow and be recognized as the best small live entertainment venue on the west coast. Our staff works hard, very hard to be the best and they are. We've got a tough market that we are located in, lots of competition and the people in San Jose seem to think that we are located on the back side of the moon but as long as we can keep growing and maintaining a high standard of excellent customer service and entertainment we will be around.
San Jose Our City Radio: Do you have a stage name?
Jorge: No, it's funny because I introduce all the guys during the set but I never introduce myself. Sometimes people ask who I am when I introduce the band and I just say that I am Jon. J
San Jose Our City Radio: How would you describe your stage persona/ image as opposed to the real-life, day-to-day businessman and husband? Do you have children?
Jorge: When I'm on stage I give it everything I've got. I love being up there and having people react positively to what we do. I believe that when you are in a band that it should be a party feel, fun. As the front person I am the ring leader. I also believe that if people gave up their time to come see my band then I owe them a show. I owe it to them to look like I am in a band, act like a performer and give them an energetic show. It's a show after all. That's what a lot of these kids in bands today don't get. If you look like the roadie or the guy standing next to me at the bar what makes you special on stage? The band is a business and just like with 9Lives, I/we take that very seriously. We aren't there just to be there, we are doing what we do to be the best and be successful. I'm one of those people who knows only one way to do things and that's all in. Otherwise don't waste yours or others time. Joyce and me never had any kids but we have a couple of nephews and a niece that are like our kids. If we did have kids we probably wouldn't have 9Lives. Plus she already has a kid in me and four other guys in Steel Horse. She's our Yoko in a good way, she grounds us when we get inflated egos and think that we really are rock stars.
San Jose Our City Radio: Any last words?
Jorge: Man, really? Like I haven't already talked your ear off? I'd just tell your listeners to come check out a Steel Horse show when you can. You may not like Bon Jovi but face it, you will be singing before our set is done . . . "Wanted!". And to support the local music venues and original music bands that are out there busting their asses to make music and try to succeed in this crazy industry. It won't kill you to get out of your house, find a baby-sitter and take in a band that plays live music. Stop bitching about having to pay $5 to see 3-4 bands in a night and support your local venue and community. Even if they aren't great musicians or it's not your style of music, show some appreciation for what musicians put out there for your to take in.
San Jose Our City Radio: Jorge, we look forward to hearing more from Steel Horse and 9Lives. Good luck and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with our listeners and viewers at San Jose Our City Radio!
Jorge: Thanks for the opportunity! We are telling everyone about San Jose Our City Radio.
I had issued Jorge a challenge to write and record some original music to play on our Rock Station. He has accepted the challenge and Steel Horse will do their best to bring original content to San Jose Our City Radio in the future.

New York and SF: The Valley or the Alley?
What an insane season. Datecheating. Quitting my job. Dwight gets acquired by Facebook. I'm definitely letting him buy dinner now and apparently move all large furniture moving forward.
You meet my beautiful friend Kathryn (founder of an awesome job site for women called The Muse) who gives me advice on whether or not to relocate my company to New York. She currently just moved her company's HQ back to NYC. The New York - San Francisco tech rivalry is basically Tupac vs. Biggie 2.0 but no one dies.
Shonova – WTF is it?
"I need to figure out what the f*ck I am doing." – one of my more articulate quotes from the season finale
Excellent news. I did! We're building a fashion site called Shonova.
Hi Kim,
I am just catching up from my DVR and watched the episode where you are trying to name your company. What immediately came to mind when you were talking about the Shonova was to call it Fashonova. Fashion/shonova. Since it is already named maybe the fans of Shovona can be "Fashonovas." Just a thought.
I wanted to let you know how impressed I was with you on the show. You are so smart and articulate as well as beautiful. I wish you all the best with your company. I hope that there will be a second season so we can follow your progress.
I just watched the shows and really like you. You seem to be pretty driven. I like seeing that in a woman. Good luck to you!
sabe785 thank you! that's very much appreciated. :-)

text: Established in 1948, Raleigh Country Club boasts the last course for Tradition and Future designed by legendary Donald Ross. The course has remained true to the original standards, as described by the Donald Ross Society, of making each hole present a different problem, making every stroke count, and taking full advantage of terrain while wasting no ground. The course opened for play in July of 1949, with Hall of Fame member Sam Snead playing an exhibition tournament. Ellis Maples became the club's first Director of Golf and Arnold Palmer played numerous rounds as a collegian during his early years. Raleigh Country Club has been host to numerous professional and major national amateur events.Located inside the beltline and only few minutes from downtown Raleigh, our Club is a vital part of professional life in the City of Oaks. Having evolved considerably in recent years, the Club remains as a milestone in golf history as well as a cornerstone in the careers of the city's most distinguished achievers. Our philosophy is to promote real golf for the true golfer within a service-oriented country club environment. Raleigh Country Club is dedicated to maintaining a challenging and competitive golf setting, in addition to providing premium dining and recreation opportunities for its membership. New members soon find themselves among a diverse group of men and women actively involved in local, national, and international affairs.

When you've lost SNL, you've lost… uh, nothing, but it's kind of funny.
I don't think they're necessarily "ripping" on him, but rather reminding him of those who got him elected.
Besides, this is a terrible Obama impersonation…they don't even try. But with Bush, Cheney, and Palin, SNL went to great lengths to capture every little nuance to poke fun an embarrass them. This seems rather lazy.
Pretty good satire. SNL is really slipping, that guy's not even trying to sound like Obama. Rush Limbaugh does a better Obama…. Sad.
This could have been really good, but they didn't even try to sound like Obama. SNL ain't what it used to be….good.

The Oklahoman's Gina Mizell took questions from readers in today's Oklahoma State Power Lunch Chat. You can join our Power Lunch Chats Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. on NewOK.com/Sports. Here's a recap of today's Q&A:
Gina Mizell: Expect Clint Chelf at QB for Oklahoma State in 2013
Do you agree with Jenni Carlson regarding yesterday's assessment of Lunt? Why or why not?
I do agree with a lot of her points. But I think Chelf will be the Cowboys' starter in 2013. If that happens, redshirt Lunt and still give him time to develop and grow. Lunt said two weeks ago that he'd be open to that. Crazy that we could still be talking about Lunt as the starter here in 2016, huh?
I've said this before, but the interesting dynamic of this spring's race is a new set eyeballs working with these guys in Mike Yurcich. He could become enamored with Lunt's arm and demeanor like Gundy and Monken were last year. On the other hand ... Jenni mentioned Lunt practiced better than Chelf, and that's true. But last year, all coaches had to go off was practice. Not anymore. They've got game film and game results. That's my long-winded way of saying Chelf for 2013, Lunt for 2014 and beyond.
Can you compare "expectations" (within the program) this spring vs. the prior two seasons?
The expectation is to challenge for the Big 12 title, so I think that mirrors 2011 more than 2012. Uncertainty at QB always diminishes expectations somewhat. OSU knew it had a stud in Weeden two seasons ago. It knows it has three guys that can play the position this season. The biggest question remains if this defense — particularly the secondary — can improve enough (or return to its opportunistic ways) to put itself in position to win the Big 12. The offensive playmakers are there.
Who will challenge Justin Gilbert for title of "fastest Cowboy" this year?
Caleb Muncrief and Blake Webb were both track stars in high school. Incoming freshman Jerel Morrow is another track guy, but mostly jumps.
Which players seem to have made the most out of offseason strength and conditioning?
I wrote about this Monday — but Gundy always talks about the second offseason, particularly for JC players, being huge for development. So I'd expect guys like Calvin Barnett and Blake Jackson to benefit from a physical and mental standpoint. Wes Lunt continues to get stronger. Same with the sophomore offensive and defensive linemen ... several of those guys have bulked up since the season ended and will be even stronger by August.
Is Gundy on the hot seat after his great 8-5 mark last year?

Singer-songwriter Cher chatted with fans on Reddit yesterday and one fan even asked if she was afraid of ghosts. According to TMZ, the pop diva believes that she is haunted by the ghost of her late husband Sonny Bono.
Cher did a question and answer session with fans on Reddit yesterday under the sub Reddit of "IAmA" under the post "I am Cher. Ask Me Anything." During the "Ask Me Anything" session, one fan wanted to know if the superstar was afraid of ghosts.
"Hi, I'm Cher, I'm 100 years old and I just announced my new album Closer to the Truth and tour. It's called Dressed To Kill. Ask me anything!!!!" Cher said in her post.
"Hi Cher! A friend asked me to ask you if you were afraid of ghosts! Are you?" One fan asked.
The 67-year-old hitmaker believes that her deceased ex-husband Sonny Bono haunts her house, sometimes even playing tricks on her.
"Absolutely not!!! I love ghosts. I actually think that Sonny makes a light go on. I have a beautiful chandelier that he makes the light go on when it is impossible, there is no power on. I love ghosts, I prefer ghosts to some people," Cher replied.
Cher's "Dressed To Kill" tour kicks off in Phoenix, Arizona on May 22, 2014.

Conference in Mansfield (Victoria)
I saw a wide range of good presentations in interesting areas such as modelling normadic people migration and calcium-concentration cycles in the human body.
Now I have to start organising my move to Melbourne.
Rants, observations and inner thoughts.
So it's a PHD in Melbourne eh?
Nice photo, by the way. Very serious.
The Holborow would be proud.
Cheers. I leant from the best. Actually, I think Holborow took the photo outside a Mexican musuem.
I believe I wrote an entry in January discussing my PhD at Melbourne Uni. Should be interesting.
You leant from the best?
Sure you don't mean "learnt"?
Just call me Mr Pedant.
What can I say? Queensland education system.
Martini argued with me the other day that 'teached' was a word.
Sorry Frew.

text: Scitation C³, AIP's next-generation hosting platform, delivers more innovationsMelville, NY, December 1, 2009 – In a move intended to strengthen its position as a leader in the development of innovative technologies for STM publishing, the American Institute of Physics (AIP) today announced the release of a series of new features for its evolving, next-generation hosting platform, Scitation C³. Users will find the functionality of Scitation-hosted journal pages greatly enhanced, enabled by an XML (Extensible Markup Language) infrastructure that can turn granular markup into meaningful content services, reduce discovery time, and dynamically connect similar concepts and expose related content without user interaction. One of the many new features available on Scitaton C³ is full-text HTML rendering, direct from XML. Through inline reference links and the ability to enlarge tables and figures by clicking on them, the AIP-coined "SuperArticle" virtually lifts off the page in a highly interactive presentation that transforms the traditional scholarly article, helping to speed authoring, reading, and research. "Any company that defines and promotes itself as a provider of leading-edge technology cannot wait for innovations developed by others to fall into its lap," said John Haynes, Vice President, Publishing. "AIP has been decidedly proactive in this arena, examining both what publishers need to offer, and what tech savvy researchers want. The result is a stream of new developments, including our breakthrough iPhone app, iResearch. In today's global marketplace, this ability to deliver technological innovation will give AIP and our Scitation partners a market advantage." Among the new features are enhanced search functions, with more options and better controls to explore returned content with faceted results. Faceted search helps researchers find information quickly by presenting them with a set of "filters" to narrow down search results. Also new is a real-time institutional mapping interface that reveals institutional connections to research, providing geo-locational context to where the author who performed the research is based. To facilitate discovery, Scitation has upgraded its Tables of Contents service, bringing more information to the forefront and creating functionality that allows users to work with journal data in new ways. These "Smart ToCs" enable the user to harvest citations, preview abstracts with a mouse-click, and hide content that isn't of interest. In this same vein of facilitating discoverability, a new table browser allows subscribers to view all tables and figures in an article directly from the abstract. "All these new features follow close on the heels of other enhancements we've made to our Scitation C³ platform in just the past three months, such as a powerful eBooks capability, mobile editions for our journal homepages, and our new iResearch app, which allows users to save PDFs locally to their iPhone or iPod touch," said Paul DeCillis, Director, Online Services. "I'm proud of the body of innovative work we've turned out in a short period of time, and feel it paints an accurate picture of AIP as an organization that is forward looking and can confidently hang its hat on its technological capabilities." AIP's Scitation publishing platform currently hosts more than 2,000,000 articles from more than 200 scholarly publications for 28 learned society publishers, in fields including physics, chemistry, geosciences, engineering, acoustics, and other sciences. Scitation's evolving, next generation platform, C³, represents today's best-of-breed technology, with an XML foundation and flexible framework for multi-channel distribution of content and services that enables both publishers and end users to manipulate and deliver content as never before and creates the tools and environment for content producers to position themselves for future publishing opportunities.

JUAN ATKINS Godfather of Techno (Metroplex, R&S / Detroit)
Juan Atkins and Moritz Von Oswald - new album together under the name Borderland
New Juan Atkins release as Audiotech with Riccardo Villalobos remix out on Metroplex.
Juan Atkins returns to R&S with Control/The Messenger
Juan Atkins relaunches Metroplex
"well... why do so many people say that you're the Godfather of Techno?". His answer was sharp and clean: "Maybe because I am". [Brussels 1994]
And indeed, this man shook the hand of the Machine in 1981, and since then never stopped spreading his Electro knowledge to the youth. He engraved in Detroit the way to Techno by gathering the early energies of Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, but also by keeping his passion for the futuristic musics.
You probably know him as Model 500, Channel One, Infiniti... or in one of his many collaborations with Richard Davies as Cybotron.
A hero is the junction of an outstanding personnality and an outstanding situation.[deejaybooking.com webmaster]
"Juan Atkins truly is a legend in his own time. Appearing behind aliases such as Cybotron, Model 500 and Infiniti, he has released many classics of sublime Detroit techno, including the 1982 electro track "Clear." Recorded by Atkins and Rick Davis as Cybotron, this track is often considered the first proto-techno track. Experimenting with fusing the extra-terrestrial funk of Parliament Funkadelic with the futuristic rhythms and hard math of Kraftwerk and the progressive dance theorems proposed by Giorgio Moroder, the Model 500 12"s laid the blueprint for Detroit Techno."[from www.om-records.com]
"At the dawn of the 1980s, Juan Atkins began recording what stands as perhaps the most influential body of work in the field of techno. Exploring his vision of a futuristic music which welded the more cosmic side of Parliament funk with rigid computer synth-pop embodied by Kraftwerk and the techno-futurist possibilities described by sociologist Alvin Toffler (author of The Third Wave and Future Shock), Atkins blurred his name behind aliases such as Cybotron, Model 500 and Infiniti all, except for Cybotron, comprised solely of himself to release many classics of sublime Detroit techno. And though it's often difficult (and misleading) to pick the precise genesis for any style of music, the easiest choice for techno is an Atkins release, the 1982 electro track "Clear," recorded by Atkins and Rick Davis as Cybotron. He soon left the progressively album-oriented Cybotron to begin working alone, and released his most seminal material from 1985 to 1989 as Model 500 And while fellow Detroit legends Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May were known for their erratic output during the following decade, Atkins recorded much more during the 1990s than he had during the '80s, soaking up new rhythmic elements from contemporary dance music but keeping his unerring, instantly recognizable sense of melody intact throughout. As the electronic scene began looking back to the past to find musical innovators, Atkins was a name much-discussed and -anthologized, hailed as the godfather of techno."

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- It was easy for Kevin Harvick to remember what transpired the last time he sat on the pole.
For one thing, he won the race. For another, he doesn't sit on them very often.
Harvick earned his first pole since September 2006 on Friday when he turned the fastest lap at Kansas Speedway. Harvick knocked Ricky Stenhouse Jr. from the top spot and Jimmie Johnson into the second row for the fourth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
Harvick, who is fourth in points, was fastest in the early practice before turning a lap of 187.526 mph in qualifying. Stenhouse was next at 187.480, and Johnson was third at 187.162.
It's just the sixth time in 460 races that Harvick has led the field to the green flag, and ends a drought of 254 races without a pole. It's also the first pole for Richard Childress Racing since Clint Bowyer sat on the front in September 2007, also at New Hampshire.
It certainly helps to start from the front, though, especially this week at Kansas.
The track underwent a repave last year and, combined with the new "multi-zone" tread that Goodyear has brought this weekend, track position figures to be at a premium. Drivers are hopeful of two- and three-lane racing, but Stenhouse said that it will be difficult to pass.
Stenhouse was surprised that it'd been so long since Harvick sat on the pole. After all, the Sprint Cup rookie was still racing on dirt the last time it happened.
Harvick, Stenhouse and Johnson, who is second behind Matt Kenseth in points, were best able to negotiate a brutal crosswind going into Turn 3 that spoiled several promising runs.
The weather is expected to change again for the weekend. A front that's coming through the area on Friday night is expected to send temperatures that reached into the 80s for qualifying into the 60s for the weekend, likely forcing everybody to retool their setups on Saturday.
That could bode well for guys who will start father back in the field.
Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano rounded out the top five. Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start sixth, followed by Kenseth, Paul Menard, Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin.

Efficiency in power supplies, is currently on everyone's lips. Often it is but 80 Plus Gold power supply and then swarmed up to 1200 watts of power up waiting the same. Unfortunately, it is rarely the question: Who needs that? What sense does a super-efficient mega high end power supply that is the price so that you never use the surcharge period through energy savings can get out of in. to mention the fact that probably 90% of all PCs currently in use are anyway less than 300 watts consumption.
Quality and efficiency but in small power supplies more scarce. Due to price pressure, is not seldom more invested in packaging and transport, as in the actual product. And we find all too often No Name Stone Age technique with passive PFC and very modest efficiency values. So where are the good small power supplies Just this reflection has been apparently made at Planet3DNow and also with the power supply manufacturer HEC Compucase (Cougar), a quality power supply for bargain hunters placed that big off of Watt spin positioned.
Is dispensed with knick-knacks, colorful painting, exquisite packaging and even unnecessary plug, so the essential qualities to focus on. High quality and efficiency at a low price. The result was a nondescript 300 watt power supply with HEC P3D300 name, but which offers a 80 Plus Bronze certification. The power supply is based on the current Cougar A series or the HEC-300TB-2WX. As these small donors are particularly electricity, shows a view into the current offerings. In the category up to 300 watts can be found exactly these three candidates 80plus Bronze certified.

About this encyclopediaCultural Identities
Gad Barzilai
Despite the importance of identities to the constitution of our personalities, interests, and behavior, nonidiosyncratic and collective cultural identities—such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and religiosity—were largely ignored or underestimated as major topics for research in law-and-society studies until the 1960s. On one hand, students of law considered public policy and judicial processes more significant than identity politics. Even after the emergence of legal realism in the early twentieth century, legal scholars remained inclined to study law's internal logic and mechanisms. On the other hand, political scientists and sociologists tended to study law either within a formal framework or as a set of rules of the political game, as functionalists and structuralists imagined, or as an ideological epiphenomenon, as Marxists claimed. Two contemporary trends have shaped researchers' understanding and conceptualization of the effects of cultural identities on law. First, behavioral studies have explicated how identities may affect legal norms, ...
