Wow! 2011 was a really amazing year! I had some seriously fun shoots, and worked with some absolutely wonderful couples. I am still so pleased by the fact that I have such a fun job, and I am in love with what I do. I sincerely hope that it comes through in each and every photograph that I capture. Like last year, it was really difficult to narrow down to the best of the best, because every shoot and every wedding holds so many 'favorites' that I include on my blog. So, if you will bear with me, I narrowed it down to around 100 photos again this year, to highlight my 2011. I continue to be grateful for all of the relationships I've developed, the people I've had the opportunity to work with, and all of the incredibly magical moments that I've witnessed. Thank you all for your unfailing support! Here's to an even better 2012! Peace and love.
It's all about you, your love, and it's about me getting to know you too! Here are my favorite engagement photos from 2011. From simply sweet, to tastefully stylized, engagement photos should be an expression of your personality.
What a fun way to have a trial run with your hair, makeup, flowers, and gorgeous dress. Not every bride decides to have a bridal session, but for those that do, this part's for you.
I love details! The flowers, the dress, those sexy shoes, and things that sparkle! Yes, please!
The Bride Getting Ready
This is one of my favorite parts of the wedding day. There is so much excitement and nervous energy in the bridal room. Tears flow, laughter erupts, champagne corks pop.
The Groom Getting Ready
Never to be overlooked, the wedding day is as much about the groom as it is the bride. But I can't tell everything that goes on in the groom's room. I've taken an oath. If I did tell you, I'd have to kill you.
Well, it's all built up to this moment. The vows, the exchanging of the rings, the symbolism of two becoming one.
I do! Now let's take some romantic, lovey, sweet, intimate, and romantic photos. Yes, I said romantic twice! I think you get the idea.
The Bridal Party
No wedding is a party unless there is an awesome group of friends to help you celebrate. It's about having a blast, letting loose, and being there for the bride and groom on their big day.
The Cakes
I haven't met a cake that I haven't liked. Or cupcake. or donut. Mmmm….cake.
The First Dance
Here's your moment. All eyes are on you. Are you going to do it up ballroom style? Classic arm in arm? Or perhaps something choreographed?
Party Time!
The party is jumping, the music is thumping, the drinks are flowing, and people are…jumping in the pool??? Oh heck! Let's party!!!!
The Grand Exit
It's your last hurrah! Petals, sparklers, bubbles! Leave 'em wanting more!

I always thought my problems would be solved the moment I had an agent and my manuscript sold to a publisher. I thought that once you were published the negative voice in the back of your brain vanished forever. Ha! Yeah. Not so much. The voice that tells you you suck merely acquires a new script. You're not a real writer because you've only one book in print. You're not a real writer because your book didn't sell enough copies. You're not a real writer because you haven't won an award. You're not a real writer because… well, you get the point. But you know what? Dealing with that negative voice, blowing it off, and still writing — that is being a real writer. It's having to cope with all the doubts and all the things which you'll never have control over. (Like how many people buy your work.) It's not easy, but every job has its downside. That's why you have to love writing with every fiber of your being. Because it's just not worth the heartache, otherwise.
With the first book, you've all the time in the world. I had three years to do all the research I needed to write Of Blood and Honey. When it came time to write And Blue Skies from Pain frankly, I panicked. The pressure to get everything as correct as I could get it had become too much. I didn't know if I could finish the second book. I cried all over my agent's t-shirt at the retreat last summer. He told me it was going to be fine and that I really did have all the information I needed. It took an expert on Northern Irish politics, Nicholas Whyte, to make me understand that for sure. (Thank you, Nicholas!) My agent was sooo right. Of course that wasn't the only stress. There was that awful internal critic. It was chanting, "The second book won't be as good. No one will like it. You'll never write anything as good as the first." (Thank goodness that turned out to be not true.) My goal has always been to improve as a writer over time. There's so much to learn! There is no way anyone can know everything about writing, and now I feel I can grow. That first book isn't everything.
Honestly, all this pressure and stress is normal. It's why being a new writer is so difficult and also so hard for outside people to understand. The second book is where you find out if you can really hack it as a professional. The first… well… I wouldn't call it a fluke, myself. You work too damned hard and bleed too damned much to call it that. It's more than mere luck — far more. Sure, luck is a factor, but you made that luck with your bare hands and others helped — many others. But the second book is where the training wheels come off the bike. There's a risk of falling over and skinning your knees or cracking open your head. There's always that risk that you'll have to put the training wheels back on too, but there's also a chance you'll ride down that road in no time with your hands in the air, laughing. You never know until you try.

A number of college students and new graduates react to their new sense of independence by increasing their spending on frivolous items. Creating and following a realistic budget not only helps prevent you from making purchases you can't afford - it also helps you avoid missing payments and defaulting on your loans, moves that can hurt your credit and therefore your ability to borrow, purchase a home, or even get a job. To create your personal budget, follow the three simple steps below and use our calculator for assistance. Once you have established a budget, remember to keep records of your spending and adjust it accordingly.
Include any salary you earn from a job, allowance, or other income after taxes.
If your monthly income exceeds your expenses, consider increasing your savings for the future. If your expenses exceed your income, determine where you can cut back, where you are overspending, and whether you need to consider options for increasing your income such as obtaining part-time work. In most cases, it is much easier to adjust your spending than it is to increase your income.

Why can't teens get enough of romance novels? Because they fill readers with much needed hope and guidance, say a group of YA authors speaking on the August 9 SLJ online event SummerTeen panel, "Who Will Mend This Broken Heart?"
Kate Kacvinsky focuses on realistic love stories, where relationships have rocky, uncertain beginnings. The protagonists of her latest novel, First Comes Love (Houghton Harcourt, 2012), don't fall in love at first sight—in fact, they don't even like each other. However, Kacvinsky wants readers to see that surviving tough, challenging times is what makes romances so rich and rewarding.
Lurlene McDaniel, a RITA Award winner and author of several IRA-CBC Children's Choice Award books, is no stranger to romance, but her upcoming book, Year of Luminous Love (Random, 2013), the first in a new series, explores different kinds of love, such as parental love, affection, and the highest form of love: transcendent love. While her books deal with tough subjects, such as romance in the face of sickness and death, she believes that they resonate with teens because of the encouraging message that love can triumph over anything—even death.
Earl Sewell, the author of the "Keysha and Friends" (Kimani TRU) books, says many of his fans turn to his novels for advice in navigating the strange new territory of first love. In addition to relationship drama, he also addresses current themes that readers can relate to, such as social media or the Internet. His latest, Back to Me (Kimani TRU, 2012), explores the dangers of sexting when the naked photo a girl sends to her boyfriend goes viral.
Miranda Kenneally, author of Catching Jordan (2011) and Stealing Parker (2012) and co-editor of Dear Teen Me (Zest, 2012), says her books give young readers hope for the future. Her upcoming Things I Can't Forget (2012, all Sourcebooks/Fire, 2013) deals with a Christian girl who finds love even after committing what she believes to be the worst sin imaginable–helping her best friend get an abortion.
While the panelists address dark and difficult themes in their work, they all expressed the need to give fans a positive message, with McDaniel concluding that, "Hope is what we've got down here."

Christmas is the season of joy and peace yet sadly there are many people who are feeling hopeless, weary and lonely. During a time when hearts should overflow with love and giving, for some it is just a time of pain and sadness.
The joy that the birth of Christ brings can get lost among the shopping and busyness of the season. When God sent his one and only Son to this earth, he did it to bring light and salvation to a lost and dying world. He sent Jesus to walk this earth with us to give us his strength to overcome our problems. Jesus came to give us an abundant life that lacks no good thing. His birth brought us a promise that can never be taken away. It is a promise that those who believe in him would have a life with a purpose and a reward that will never end. Pain and struggles can never destroy those who have been set free through Christ. He alone can open doors to your impossible situations and cause all things to be used for your good.
Believers now have authority in Christ over all obstacles from the enemy. Through Jesus you are now more than a conqueror because he has overcome the world. You only need to trust that he can and will be with you in all of your problems. Your failures do not stop his love and your troubles can not stop his perfect plan for your life. His birth signified a pledge to bring you peace no matter what you may be going through. Jesus is the Word of God and the light of this world who will never fail you. He willingly left the splendor of heaven to come to this earth knowing that we would reject him. Yet his love was so great that he chose to walk with us and be crucified to bring us peace with God and eternity with him forever.
If the joy of this season is overcome by a situation in your life which is causing you pain and sadness, please remember that the hope that Jesus brings is not just for some situations. The peace he promised to leave us is sufficient to meet any need and to take you through any storm in your life. His power is strong enough to safely take you through all circumstances and to give you joy in the midst of your struggle. He knew your name and loved you long before you were born. He has plans to prosper you and give you a future despite your weaknesses. He is faithful to make a way for you even when the road is closed. Most importantly, he will never leave you to carry your burden alone. In Matthew 28:20, Jesus says, "And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age".
Your situation is never hopeless when you have Christ in your heart. He is able to heal any sorrow your have and give you the assurance that his love will comfort you in your pain. This season, keep in your heart the truth that Jesus is the only gift that you need. He is the source of your strength and the power to restore you in all ways. His gift of life is free for the asking. His love will never fail you and his peace will keep you as you begin a new year. Take heart for the Savior is born!

Book publishers blast Amazon's plan to control domain names
Amazon's effort to control dozens of new generic top-level Internet domain names is drawing fire from a pair of publishing industry groups.
The Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers oppose the Internet retail giant's plan to control so-called generic top-level domains (gTLD) that end in suffixes .book, .author, and .read, arguing that such influence would be anti-competitive.
"Placing such generic domains in private hands is plainly anticompetitive, allowing already dominant, well-capitalized companies to expand and entrench their market power," Authors Guild President Scott Turow wrote to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, … Read more

This is the final post in a 5-day series about constraints that serve as kindling for Creation. Yesterday I wrote Ignore or Fight Bad Advice & Other's Expectations.
Highly Creative people constrain themselves to what they love. They pursue it with urgency because a lifetime pursuing a passion is not enough.
There isn't time to dilute love with well-roundedness.
Our family gathers in the Music Room most evenings. Our old piano is here and our shelves are stuffed with great books. There are Kapla blocks to build with and a wooden castle with queens and kings to play with. Last night my three older children sat here, listening wide-eyed, as my husband read them Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I walked in to gather my 2 yr. old and carry her off to bed, but caught my breath and stopped short when she turned to look at me and said, I writing. We both looked down at the red crayon lines across the open spread of a beloved storybook. She smiled at me.
My little girl knows I require a pen when I read. Reading for me is like playing ping-pong with the book's author. He serves an idea, I respond. I underline sentences I love, or like. I circle paragraphs I'll re-read someday. I write questions and insights as they hit me, in the margins. I don't write only in books I've borrowed, antique editions or those so lame they say nothing in so many words.
Five hundred years ago, only men of high social status wrote in books. High society women sometimes ventured to depress a tiny fingernail mark on the margins of a passage worth revisiting. Today, nobody would snatch my book for my scribbles in it.
So I watched my child draw more lines, about three inches each from top to bottom on printed words she loves. When she put her crayon down I scooped her into my arms and made a mental note to move untouchable books to shelves she can't reach. I carried her to bed grateful I had not spoiled her budding like of writing.
Betsy Lerner, literary agent and author of The Forest for the Trees, says,
When I meet a new writer, at some point I usually ask if he or she wrote as a child. I have found that the impulse to write, to record one's private feelings, often appears at a very early age, with few exceptions most authors started writing in childhood.
My 2 yr. old's interest in writing may be fleeting, but I hope she will find a love before she reaches puberty. When she does, I'll encourage her and give her freedom to pursue it.
Creativity scholar, E. Paul Torrence, wrote a Manifesto for creative children and gives this advice,
Don't be afraid to fall in love with something and pursue it with intensity.
Biologist E.O. Wilson found ants fascinating as a child and studied them the rest of his life. Primatologist Jane Goodall has also spent her days pursuing a childhood passion.
As a little child, Goodall collected eggs from the hen-house behind her grandmother's place. She saw hens sitting on eggs and wondered, Where on the chicken was there an opening big enough for an egg to come out of? She asked her grandmother. But the question remained unanswered to her satisfaction. So, she hid.
One morning while the hens were pecking at grain in the yard, Goodall crouched between two hen-nests. She sprinkled hay over herself as camouflage and hid still for what seemed to her like forever. She watched her subjects come back into the hen-house. Goodall says,
Presently the hen half stood and I saw a round white object protruding from the feathers between her legs. Suddenly with a plop, the egg landed on the straw. With clucks of pleasure the hen shook her feathers, nudged the egg with her beak, and left.
In the hen-house, Jane Goodall found her love of observing animals in their natural habitat. She pursued this love to make grand discoveries about primate behavior and forever changed scientific inquiry within biology. Some of her insights challenged what it means to be human. Goodall even founded the Jane Goodall Institute to inspire new generations of naturalists in their own pursuits.
Childhood holds the dreams worth pursuing.
Late-blooming Creators dump well-roundedness and uncover dusty childhood dreams. Then with wisdom granted by experience, they pursue what they lived for as children.

Fina Torres' Woman on Top is an example of a quirky, potentially charming romantic fantasy that simply tries too hard. Torres, working from an offbeat script by first-time scribe Vera Blasi, piles on the quirk from start to finish, but it never amounts to much.
The movie is held together by Spanish actress Penélope Cruz (All About My Mother), whose soft, beautiful features and lithe, enchanting voice are enough to melt just about anyone. She plays Isabella Oliveira, a young woman who lives in a small coastal town in Brazil in which all the residents regularly have ceremonies and give food offerings to Yemanja, the sea goddess, in order to ensure their fishing remains plentiful. Isabella is a gifted chef--a true artist, in fact--but she has been cursed with motion sickness. The only way to avoid getting sick is if she is in control of the motion. Thus, she must always drive when in a car and, in the case of making love with her husband, Toninho (Murilo Benício), she must be on top.
She and Toninho are deeply in love, but Isabella is troubled by some aspects of their relationship. For instance, Toninho owns a popular restaurant, but while he entertains the customers with his singing and gets all the credit, she slaves in the kitchen, making the exquisite courses that are the real reason for the restaurant's success. One night, she catches Toninho with another woman, and even though he tries to explain that it is because he feels overwhelmed by her always needing to be in control, she lights out for San Francisco to start a new life.
Isabella moves in with an old friend, Monica (Harold Perrineau Jr.), a flamboyant black drag queen (Perrineau, who is not a professional transvestite, played Mercutio as a drag queen in Baz Luhrman's 1996 version of William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet). When Cliff Lloyd (Mark Feuerstein), a TV producer who lives across the street, smells Isabella's cooking, he is absolutely enchanted with her (for other reasons, as well), and convinces his senior producer to allow her to have her own evening cooking show, Passion Food Live. Of course, Isabella, with her beautiful looks and passionate style of cooking, is an instant hit.
Meanwhile, Toninho, still deeply in love with her, tracks her to San Francisco in order to woo her back, risking his restaurant in the process. Isabella has determined that she does not want Toninho anymore, and she even makes an offering to Yemanja to make her stop loving him. While Toninho constantly pines for her, Isabella begins to turn more and more to the attention Cliff is giving her, thus setting up a love triangle that will have to resolved in the third act.
There is even more to the plot than that, which is surprising given that the film is barely an hour and a half in length. Torres keeps the pace moving, utilizing every device available, from saucy Latin music to fairy-tale-like voice-over narration (courtesy of Monica), to dreamy fantasy sequences with theatrical lighting. Woman on Top is a hodge-podge of stylistic devices, but it relies most heavily on magical realism. For instance, even though it was ludicrously over the top, I couldn't help but laugh at a scene in which Isabella walks down the street to her new job as a cooking instructor, and her sheer presence is so captivating that she winds up with a crowd of men following her like stray dogs.
Torres gives the film many little moments like that, but they usually end up working more as a distancing device from the characters' emotional lives than as a spicy ingredient to heat things up. The constant infusion of whimsical fantasy is so overt that it highlights, rather than covers up, the story's two-dimensional qualities. We are never able to get fully involved in Isabella's plight because it is inflected by so many fantastical elements outside of her control. Despite a strong performance by Cruz, Isabella remains a charming pixie throughout, rather than a self-liberated woman of flesh and blood.
This is not to say the film does not have its charms. Despite the forceful nature of the quirkiness, some of it is quite appealing, and the film's short running time guarantees that it never gets too old. There are a few good comic moments, and despite his cartoonish drag queen style, Monica actually comes off as not only the most entertaining character, but also the most human, perhaps because he responds to emotional situations with reason and caring, rather than taking a food offering to an underwater sea goddess. This fantasy element is, of course, one of the main courses the film has to offer, but one wonders how effective it might have been had the filmmakers taken down the quirk level a few notches and allowed their human characters to shine in their own right.

Why even have a minimum?
If m.lwn.net simply got rid of the minimum and placed the left column above the main body rather than beside it, it would better for small-screen browsers (not all of which run on Android or iOS).

If LWN added some detection to detect mobile browsers, and then converted the left bar to something else, it would be far better than almost any other site when accessed on a mobile device, no need for a completely separate USL (and the implied separate site served by it)
Posted Jan 5, 2012 8:54 UTC (Thu) by elanthis (guest, #6227) [Link]
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
Also... m.lwn.net doesn't exist so far as I can tell. I'm getting DNS failures on both my desktop (Comcast) and phone (Sprint). LWN has always been a pain in the ass to read and use on a phone in my experience, especially when it comes to commenting (iOS devices tend to get especially very confused and lose the scrollbars in the comment fields). If there's a better way to use it, it's clearly not made obvious (or better yet, automatic).
On the upside, at least it's not as bad as the horrendous (if occasionally informative) Phoronix is. That site is a nightmare to use on a desktop with its "oops I moused over a hover-link on the way to trying to click a regular link, and now I have a page-size Flash ad" setup, and it's basically unusable on a phone.

Posted Jan 18, 2012 1:42 UTC (Wed) by Duncan (guest, #6647) [Link]
But I suspect the biggest phoronix audience is gamers and others that have no ethical or legal problems with proprietaryware, and the flash ads you mention probably work for many of them. Meanwhile, it's quite unlikely I'd be in the market for anything advertised anyway (especially on a site using abusive tactics such as page-blocker ads with no way to kill them if scripting is off), so even if it's per-view paid, it's ultimately better that the advertisers don't get that view from me since that only brings down the response rate and therefore ultimately the per-view fees they're willing to pay.
And life is /so/ much better without the incessant ads... the reason I gave up on TV and radio years ago, for computers and the net, where I could better control such things. (One thing I've noticed, tho, I can listen to internet radio in German or French or Italian or Japanese or Korean or... or even local AZ over-the-air Spanish stations, and have a higher ad tolerance, since I don't understand them and thus they aren't such an insult to my intelligence after I hear them the 10th or 100th time. It takes to the 100th or 1000th time if I can't understand what they're saying anyway, before the invariant recorded repetition itself gets to me.)

The proper approach to this is:
1) detect the user's browser. If known non-mobile, stop. 2) If known mobile, display the page using a mobile style sheet, if possible. 3) On your mobile stylesheet, provide a link to allow the user to switch back to the non-mobile style, and a second link to set a cookie to make the non-mobile behaviour the default for that site.
You shouldn't do it with redirects, cause perhaps the user wants to share that story with friends, and those *friends* won't be on a mobile device -- some mobile sites work poorly or not at all on desktop browsers.
(While I'm at it: hint: putting the title in the URL is also wildly antisocial design. If you must do so, do it as a (deletable) suffix to the articleID.)

I want to choose layouts and font sizes myself. Fixed-width text boxes and forced sidebars are ridiculous. Opera can be told to ignore CSS position suggestions and keep web pages narrower than the window, but that does little good against table layouts (which can't be disambiguated from tabular data).

Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 Newcastle United
The FA Cup with Budweiser
Third Round Proper
12.30pm, Saturday 5 January 2013
The Amex Stadium, Brighton & Hove Albion

The magic of The FA Cup was very much alive at the Amex Stadium as Andrea Orlandi's majestic moment of brilliance and a late Will Hoskins strike helped Brighton eliminate Newcastle United for the second year in a row.
An own goal by Mike Williamson proved to be the difference between the two sides last January, but a genuine spark of creative ingenuity illuminated the tie on this occasion.
Shortly after the half-hour mark, former Swansea winger Orlandi nipped ahead of Williamson to reach Wayne Bridge's cross before teeing the ball up and readjusting his body to poke past Rob Elliot into the far corner of the net.
And as the final whistle loomed, substitute Hoskins calmly slotted home to ensure Brighton became the first side to advance to the Fourth Round Proper.
Gus Poyet's men hassled and harried their top tier opponents from the start and fashioned a couple of half-chances in the opening exchanges, although goalkeeper Elliot was not tested.
However, Elliot was indebted to James Perch in the eighth minute for denying Brighton an opening goal.
Spanish winger David Lopez did well to keep the ball in on the right-hand side and launched a deep cross toward Gary Dicker, whose looping header was cleared off the line by the Newcastle defender.
Lopez threatened again minutes later, lashing a fierce drive towards goal from an acute angle, although it was well-held by Elliot.
The visitors began to settle as the half wore on, with midfielder Gael Birigimana forcing a save from Albion goalkeeper Kasper Ankergren with a 25-yard drive.
But just as Newcastle began to exert themselves, Brighton broke the deadlock – and in marvellous fashion.
Bridge showed wonderful persistence and determination to latch onto Gordon Greer's raking crossfield pass and hook the ball towards Orlandi, who clinically despatched the ball beyond Elliot.
Brighton continued where they left off after the break, restricting Newcastle's opportunities to equalise.
And things got even more difficult for the north-east side in the 63rd minute, when captain Shola Ameobi was dismissed for a second bookable offence having caught Lopez with a late challenge.
Newcastle admirably battled on in spite of their numerical disadvantage, but Brighton held firm at the back after seeing several long balls and crosses penetrate their box.
And the hosts got further reward for their endeavour three minutes from time when Hoskins, who had emerged in place of Craig Mackail-Smith, beat the offside trap to meet Lopez's threaded through-ball and roll the ball underneath Elliot.
Brighton: Ankergren; David, Greer, El-Abd, Bridge; Hammond (Crofts 83), Bridcutt, Dicker; Orlandi (LuaLua 60), Mackail-Smith (Hoskins 71), Barnes.

Nancy E. Davis crouched alone in her white barn as a tornado tossed off the roof and peeled back the walls.
Maybe it was luck that saved her then, in 1999. Maybe it was fate.
But that memory, of a tornado that leveled her home 14 years ago, came rushing back this week when the 94-year-old learned that another twister barreled toward her. Her ears popped from the pressure change. A dark spiral descended from the clouds.
When it hit, the tornado was so loud that you couldn't hear a person speak. She thought maybe the storm had kicked the Earth off its axis. Maybe the world was spinning too slow, she thought. Or too fast.
"I just knew it was going to happen again," she told me on Wednesday, two days after the second storm. "That it was going to run right through us."
Sadly, she was right. Davis, a spry woman with curly white hair and blue-gray eyes, lives on a square-mile block of land in southwest Oklahoma City that took a direct hit from two major tornadoes: one in 1999, which generated winds estimated at 302 mph and left dozens dead, and Monday's twister, which killed 24 and caused an estimated $2 billion in property damage. If you look at a map of both storm tracks, they make a flimsy "X," like the shape of a chromosome.
Where the paths cross, that's where Davis lives. It's a neighborhood with coordinates but no name. Locals refer to it simply as SW 149 and May Avenue. It's a place of odd coincidence. May is the month when both tornadoes hit.
"We are the epicenter," said Mel Miller, a 55-year-old who was helping a friend search for her belongings. "We are like the bull's-eye on the target."
I flew into Oklahoma City on Tuesday afternoon, the day after the storm, wondering how two twisters of such magnitude could possibly hit the same block. And, more important, how people would react. Would they dig in their heels and stay? would they say enough is enough? What does the constant threat of storms do to a person? I'm not completely new to that last question. I grew up near this city. I did tornado drills in school, climbed into a closet full of suitcases and photo albums when sirens went off, and stood on the porch watching storms roll by when they were at a safe-ish distance.
Tornadoes are part of life here. I get that. Every place has its risks, and here they happen to fall from the sky. And tornadoes do present advantages of sorts: They come with warning, unlike earthquakes. They're more targeted than the shotgun spray of hurricanes; a tornado may pulverize one house and strip only the shingles from the one next door.
But when I arrived this week, I stepped into a bizarro version of home.
From the plane, I saw the path of the storm, which marched like a lead-footed giant across southern Oklahoma City and Moore.
The sky was purple and yellow, the air deadly still.
It was a surreal, eerie scene. It didn't make sense anymore.
I drove toward 149-at-May, the block twice in the cross hairs, from the north, leaving behind geometric subdivisions with sturdy brick fences and names like "The Legacy" and finding a post-apocalyptic mess that's almost impossible for a brain to compute: metal draped like laundry over power lines; homes turned to matchsticks; trees snapped at the ankles; dead horses, one floating in a pond; the smell of natural gas and freshly cut wood; hunks of yellow and pink insulation floating through the air like jellyfish; cars turned into aluminum cans; fence posts laid flat.
"All this land right here, this is the hot zone," said Kevin Shelley, 35, pointing to an unrecognizable heap of junk. It was his house -- which I didn't know until he told me.
Shelley was at home playing video games as the storm built steam on Monday. A friend called to alert him.
Like a surprising number of people in Oklahoma, Shelley didn't have an underground tornado shelter, so he jumped in his car and took off. How did he know which way to go? Well, he's seen tornadoes here before. "It's pretty much historically proven that it goes -- pshhh! -- right here," he said, motioning from his house toward others to the east, toward Moore. "It's the landscape, I guess. It's pretty much the exact same path the '99 storm took."
The paths of the two storms are remarkably similar. In both cases, the tornadoes dropped out of the sky just west of Shelley's neighborhood. The 1999 twister snaked to the north and east; the 2013 tornado tracked more eastward.
Scientifically, that's pure coincidence.
Tornadoes are common in Oklahoma because the state, and others in tornado alley, sits at the confluence of three air masses: wet, hot air from the Gulf of Mexico; dry, hot air from for-real Mexico; and cold air from Canada. But within that context, it's just chance any one spot would get pummeled twice in 14 years, said Rick Smith, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Norman.
"There is nothing -- meteorologically or scientifically -- that would favor one particular area over another."
Still, Shelley's not sure he'll risk rebuilding here.
"It's a bad area. It's Tornado Alley, man," he said. "That's the path. That's where they go. It may not happen for five, six or seven years. But it'll do it again."
Others had similar reactions to the second storm.

quality leggings
July 1, 2013
I only tried on these leggings and I must say that they are pretty thick, they are not like most leggings , so I see why they are $35. I will say that the print on the leggings does vary from the one shown on the model. I can't wait to pair these with a nice blouse and wear them out.
Pros:Quality, comfortable, cuteCons:A little pricey |

Love and Theft to Join Tim McGraw on 2013 Tour
Love and Theft, Tim McGraw
Hot duo Love And Theft has entered 2013 with radio momentum, nomination jitters and cardio resolutions ahead of their highly-anticipated tour with Tim McGraw.
Their new single is "runnin'" ahead of schedule. Love and Theft's slinky, hot-under-the-collar single, "Runnin' Out of Air" entered the MediaBase Top 40 after just six weeks. That's well ahead of the duo's Gold-certified single "Angel Eyes," which hit #1 last August.
"We know from experience that nothing is certain. After Country radio gave us our first #1 with 'Angel Eyes,' we're just grateful to have a new song out that has also been so well received," says Eric Gunderson. "'Runnin' Out of Air,' is a groove we're proud of and hearing it on the airwaves is an unbelievable feeling."
Starting Monday, fans can vote for ACM "Newcomer" categories. Love And Theft is nominated for "New Vocal Duo or Group," one of three fan-voted newcomer awards. Voting begins Monday, January 21 (12:00pm EST) and music lovers can vote every day at VoteACM.com or GACtv.com/ACM until voting closes on Monday, February 4th (3:00pm EST). The winners will then compete for New Artist of the Year at the 48thAnnual Academy of Country Music Awards (Broadcast live on CBS on Sunday, April 7th, 2013).
"We have been through a lot in our seven years together. We are thrilled to be nominated and we are so grateful to fans for accepting us as this new incarnation of Love and Theft. Your votes would mean the world to us," says Gunderson, with a tip of the hat to the obstacles they've overcome to reach their current success.
After Tim McGraw's announcement, Eric and Stephen get in gear (tour dates below). This week, it was announced that Love And Theft would join the iconic McGraw on his upcoming "Two Lanes of Freedom Tour." The 30-city trek begins May 2nd in Birmingham, AL and continues through July.
"We can't even wait to start the Tim tour!!!! He's the man," states Stephen Barker Liles. "I don't know if I'll be doing any four mile runs or lifting Monster Truck tires before the show like he does...maybe Eric will... But we are gonna have a blast with him, Brantley and both their teams of super talented musicians and crew! And Tim always has Stellar catering so that doesn't suck."
ABOUT Love And Theft (Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson) are an ACM, ACA, CMA and CMT-nominated duo who released their self-titled album on RCA Nashville in July 2012. A true duo, Eric and Stephen share lead vocals throughout their album, which was produced by Josh Leo (Alabama, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band). Love And Theft includes the Gold-Certified, #1 hit "Angel Eyes," and current single, "Runnin' Out of Air." In the summer of 2012, they toured with Brad Paisley, then joined CMT's Jake Owen: The Summer Never Ends 2012 Tour. In May 2013, they'll hit the road with Tim McGraw. Visit: www.LoveandTheft.com. Follow: @loveandtheft
"RUNNIN' OUT OF AIR" is the second single from the album Love And Theft (RCA Nashville). The song is a slinky Country rocker that describes the breathtaking intoxication of desire when the person you want is so good...and so bad. Penned by Matt Jenkins, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne, it has inspired industry insiders to call it a country hit flavored by The Eagles and Maroon 5.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Keep going like a PRO Pennsylvania GasBuddy! We are all here helping others save on gas and we help even more when we all post gas prices each day! Posting regularly each day can help each of us see where the best gas deals are located, it's really a big help to the tens of thousands of GBs and others, especially those that travel! It takes dedication and persistence, and it looks like you have what it takes, to climb the GasBuddy ladder to each new level, and hundreds of GBs do it each day! Posting at least 975 points each day, and also getting the weekly poll really helps GBs get to their next level much sooner than 96% of the other GBs that just post gas prices occasionally or just post part time! 95% or more of new GBs will not make it to their 1st red car (1M points), most of the more than 8,000,000 GBs quit before they even get close, but keep going, you can do it, you're getting closer each day, it's not time to give up or even slow down! Have a nice week! Thanks! Ron

Thursday, Dec 512:25 PMNomura: Mulally to be Microsoft's next CEO
- In response to remarks from Edsel Ford II stating Alan Mulally will remain at Ford (F +0.7%) until the end of 2014, Nomura's Rick Sherlund asserts Mulally will be Microsoft's (MSFT -3.6%) next CEO, and that an announcement could happen before the holidays.
- Sherlund: "If [Mulally] were not in discussions, it would be easy to say 'I am not interested and will not go.'"
- Sherlund has previously declared it "likely" Mulally will be named Steve Ballmer's successor, and has raised the possibility Microsoft's pending CEO change would lead to cost cuts, asset sales, and changes to the company's capital structure.
- Microsoft has bounced a little off its intraday lows following Sherlund's comments, but its market cap is still ~$9B lower than it was before Edsel Ford II's remarks.

Thursday, Dec 511:09 AMMore on Ford and Alan Mulally
- There's further confirmation that Ford (F +0.5%) CEO Alan Mulally will be staying put.
- The exec told Bloomberg's Matt Miller that he loves serving Ford and there is no change to his plans.
- Detroit insiders don't expect anything more official from Mulally as the exec is still considered by many to be contemplating a possible resignation within a few years. Bloomberg nails that date down as the end of 2014.

Thursday, Dec 510:49 AMMicrosoft slumps as Ford director says Mulally staying until end of 2014

- Microsoft shares, which have rallied more than once following a report that called Mulally a leading candidate, have spiked lower in response to Ford's comments. Ford shares have risen moderately.

Thursday, Dec 58:18 AMBuzz builds over global unveiling of new Ford Mustang
- Ford (F) officially unveiled the sixth version of its iconic Mustang model at the New York World's Fair. The model's roots trace back to 1964 when it was designed under the supervision of Lee Iacocca.
- The sport car will go on sale globally next year - including an entry into Europe and Asia for the first time.
- Quick look from Motor Trend: "It is lean-looking, longer, lower and wider."

Wednesday, Dec 48:36 AMFord could see halo effect from new Mustang
- The age-old battle between the Ford (F) Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro takes a new twist tomorrow when the redesigned Mustang is unleashed in global markets.
- By market share, Camaro has raced past Mustang, but the iconic car also has a "halo" effect which has helped the Ford brand.
- What to watch: Though a "bit" player in the larger picture of global Ford sales, by entering a purely American car - instead of a watered-down European couple - Ford can make a strong design statement that could help sales of other models.

Wednesday, Dec 46:59 AMFord's Goldilocks approach to production
- Ford (F) continues to draw praise for its management of inventory, seen as slightly more conservative than some other major automakers.
- The automaker's inventory level is at 91 days, but plans are already in place to curb production this quarter - while Chrysler and GM are taking a more aggressive stance.
- "It's not about pure volume, it's profit and volume," notes Edmunds.com's Michelle Krebs.

Tuesday, Dec 32:12 PMU.S. auto sales strong but promotions a concern
- Though it's clear that automobile sales in the U.S. are booming as the industry brushed aside a tough Superstorm Sandy-boosted comparison to topple the sales estimates of analysts, the level of promotional activity used to pull off the feat is up for debate
- Truecar.com estimates the average transaction price for major automakers declined by 0.6% Y/Y to $30,634. However, a survey by Kelley Blue Book shows General Motors (GM -3.4%) and Nissan (NSANY -0.8%) were able to raise their average sale price in November compared to a year ago.
- Execs with Ford (F -3.2%) and Volkswagen (VLKAY -2.1%) both cited increased incentive activity during the month, but an increase in the mix of high-margin truck sales at many automakers could counterbalance the promotional fever.
- Sales reports: GM, Ford, Volkswagen, Nissan, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda.

Tuesday, Dec 39:48 AMBroad U.S. sales gains for Ford in November
- Ford (F -0.9%) reports broad sales gains during November with both the Fusion and Focus setting records for the month.
- The automaker saw truck sales rise 15.5% Y/Y with both the F-Series and E-Series posting solid gains.
- On production, Ford says it will build 770K vehicles in Q1 of 2014 in North America, lower than last year's level of 784K. The automaker already tipped off that it would selectively idle some plants to keep production in line with demand. An estimate for production of 770K vehicles in Q4 is unchanged.

Monday, Dec 29:23 AMAutomakers walk tightrope with inventory levels
- Automakers are walking a tightrope between accounting for strong demand in the U.S. and keeping inventory at levels where they don't have to use painful incentives to clear dealer lots.
- The industry entered November with inventory of 3.4M cars which at 76 days' supply reps the highest level for the month since 2005.
- What to watch: Analysts like the approach of Ford which has scheduled periods of downtime at select plants to keep inventory at optimal levels.

- Internal candidate Tony Bates and former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop are still in with a shout, but they're considered less likely to get the job.

U.S. Navy commander Tiger Pitman
to talk about naval opportunities
U.S. Navy commander to speak about opportunities Nov. 18
ANGOLA — A U.S. Navy commander will speak at Trine University Thursday, Nov. 18, at 4 p.m. in the University Center's Fabiani Theatre.
Commander Tiger Pitman will talk about the Navy's nuclear fleet and general naval operations. He also will share information about educational and professional opportunities within the Navy's Nuclear Underwater Propulsion Officer Candidate (NUPOC) program.
Trine got on board with NUPOC in November 2009, and students already are starting to see the benefits of the program, said campus liaison officer Dan Matthews. After hosting an informational Navy Day on campus last year, the Navy budgeted $100,000 to host other lunch and learn programs at district universities, all modeled on what Matthews started at Trine.
Matthews said the university is already starting to see positive outcomes from this collaboration with the Navy. Two Trine senior mechanical engineering majors — Tom Laderach and Jordan Buchanan — have been accepted into the NUPOC program. Three more students currently are in the application process for NUPOC.
Pitman will share news of the NUPOC program and encourage others to get involved, Matthews said.
"I'd love to see students — not just from Trine — come and learn about some exciting opportunities," Matthews said.
Pitman is a native of Torrington, Wyo., and graduated from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1994. He was then commissioned at Officer Candidate School in Pensacola, Fla. He then steered his career in a more nuclear direction. He served on the USS Pennsylvania and completed a variety of assignments — from tactical systems officer to reactor controls assistant.
After earning his master's degree in engineering science, he served on the USS Alabama. During his tour, he completed five strategic deterrent patrols, qualified for submarine command and led the ship to receive the Submarine Squadron 17 Navigation Award for 2003.
He has earned number awards for his naval achievements, including: the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the Navy Expeditionary Medal, National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Medal and the Expert Marksman (Pistol) Medal.
