I can't quite believe it, but it's been a month since I entered the overwhelming, wonderful, frightening world of the self-employed. It feels strange and self-indulgent to write an update post on my doings, but I've gotten a large number of questions via e-mail and comments, so I assume the topic is of interest.
One question that has arisen indirectly is about money. How exactly does a blogger make a living? I've been as transparent as possible about how I make money off of the blog itself, but now that I'm out on my own, I've had to supplement that income with other streams. Lots of them. I am contributing posts to The Frisky as fast as I can pitch them. I am contributing style features to the local daily paper, the Minneapolis StarTribune. I am working on several online and a handful of in-person style consults at a time. I am continuing in my role as a community leader at the BlogFrog Coffee Talk Community. I am teaching various classes and booking private and public speaking engagements. And those are just what's happened so far! In the cooker are regularly scheduled style clinic events, community ed classes, loads more freelance writing, and whatever else I can drum up. All of these things make me small amounts of money, and I need to keep many of them going all at once. The blog revenue is key, but it is far from being the only thing that's keeping me financially afloat.
Daily activities
Another indirect question that's popped up in a few places is, "But what do you DO all day?" And before I launched this new phase in my life, I wondered the same thing about self-employed folks. I certainly cannot speak for all bloggers, writers, or work-at-homers, but here's what my typical day looks like:
I wake at 6 a.m. with Husband Mike and start working in my PJs. I spend my first few hours answering e-mails from readers, vendors, and colleagues, as well as reading through the various blogs I follow (over 300 in my reader), and adding posts to the weekly Lovely Links roundup as I find them. By 9 a.m. or thereabouts, I force myself to step away from the computer and get some exercise – either a bike ride or a walk for 45 minutes or so. When I get home, I eat a snack and get sucked into a little more work before hopping in the shower. I get dressed, and on days when I don't have any appointments I'd say my greatest luxury is actually taking my time to work on and hone my outfits … but that's been a rarity thus far! I typically do more blog reading and correspondence until and through lunch. After lunch is when I tackle larger projects: Client work, freelance writing projects, or writing posts for the blog. As I have done since the early days, I write posts in groups and schedule them for publication. If I didn't do that, I'd lose my marbles. This system allows me to think carefully about how to balance content for the week, and also is absolutely key to time management. I work until at least 5 p.m., when HM arrives home. We shoot my outfit for the day and I put that post up. We eat dinner. I typically work for at least an hour after dinner, sometimes longer, typically on more correspondence: Answering questions, pitching stories, working on event collaborations, hashing out details for giveaways, dealing with tech support issues, and similar.
That's a day at home. I do group co-working sessions several times per week, so much of the afternoon work is done off-site, so to speak. I've also been doing the aforementioned teaching and consulting, so there's a fair amount of running around. I have been able to do a few lunches with girlfriends, but absolutely none of the errand-running or deep-cleaning housework I imagined I'd have time to tackle. I'm kind of amazed to discover that I feel I have less time now than I did working a full-time office job.
Outfits and style
A question that has come up more directly is, "Are you just getting dressed for the blog now?"
Heck no!
To elaborate a bit, I consider personal style to be one of my major creative outlets. I enjoy dressing, playing with my wardrobe, crafting fun and expressive outfits. It definitely feels different now that I'm not an office worker, but I get dressed every day for myself. I love it! I imagine I always will. On days when I have appointments or leave the house to co-work, I am more likely to step up my game and do something eye-catching or fancy. And I can imagine that, as winter sets in, my at-home-day outfits may become more smart-casual than straight-up smart. But there hasn't been a single day when I've stayed in my PJs until 3 p.m., then scrambled to throw something on before HM gets home to take my photo. I dress up because I enjoy doing so. And I'd do it even if the blog didn't exist!
I've also gotten a lot of, "Did you really wear that all day?"
I surely did!
My outfit photos are taken when my husband arrives home from work, and they are of whatever I've been wearing that day. I will admit to kicking my shoes off on occasion so I can more easily cross my legs in my chair, but I did that at my office, too. The outfits you see are the outfits I've worn. I own a lot of crazy shoes and unusual garments, and I love wearing them. Even if no one but the cats sees them until they get posted to the blog.
Perhaps the most frequent comment has been, "Your style is changing."
Yes, it most certainly is.
In the past month, I've made drastic changes to my career and lifestyle. Plus I chopped off ALL my hair. If my style had remained the same throughout all that, I'd actually be quite worried! I am still very much in the throes of figuring out where I want to take my personal style next, and it's an exciting and challenging time.
The structure and built-in feedback of working in an office put many constraints on my style. It feels marvelous to be able to wear anything I want any day of the week, but also a bit daunting. I'm feeling both internal and external pressure to be more daring and creative than ever, and also to create some consistency in my looks, which means that many of my outfits are experimental and some of them are duds. But that's what happens when you're going through a sartorial growth spurt, and I'm fine with it.
The influx of "your style is changing" comments actually began as soon as I cut my hair, and it's been interesting to field them all. I definitely feel that drastically altering my hairstyle has prompted me to tweak what I'm wearing: I'm more drawn to androgynous looks and pants than I have been in ages, I'm loving tough/punky accents, and many of the earrings I once wore now look completely weird on me. But some of what you may be observing is passive: My hair was fairly voluminous and about shoulder length when I chopped it. Now, my neck is more exposed, my face framed differently, my proportions transformed by this physical change. Even if I were dressing exactly as I did before I cut my hair, everything I'd wear would read differently. I am definitely implementing changes, but I may look different for multiple reasons.
If I'm being completely honest, this has been an incredibly stressful month. Incredibly. I'm pretty sure I overcommitted in an effort to prove to myself, my husband, and anyone who asked that I could totally handle this self-employment thing. I'll have to be more careful about that in the coming months. But I also thank my lucky stars for everything and everyone that conspired to make this change possible. (Including you, dear readers!) I no longer get Sunday Night Dread, and am excited by every day's self-made agenda. I've met some amazing people and am working on some thrilling collaborations with local luminaries. My brain is constantly abuzz with post ideas, improvements to the blog, article topics, and new projects. It feels like, after puttering around in second gear for ages, I've finally kicked up to third.
Everything in my life feels new right now. As a person who loves routine, stability, and security, all this newness wigs me out a bit. But I'm smart enough to be unspeakably grateful for my opportunities and privileges. I know exactly how fortunate I am to be making my way, on my own right now in the midst of so much tumult and strife.
I hope this was an interesting and helpful glimpse into what's been going on with me. I'll do my best to answer any related or further questions you may have in the comments.

UF 'think tank' seeks the secrets of regeneration
Published: Monday, April 2, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 2, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
Cut the limb off a starfish, and it will regrow a new one.
If a cat pulls the tail off a salamander, within a few weeks it will be skittering across the patio, having grown a replacement.
What's their secret? And why isn't it so easy for humans to regenerate parts of the body after an injury or illness?
The newly launched Regeneration Project at the McKnight Brain Institute of the University of Florida will seek to unlock the secrets of regeneration in species like starfish, newts, salamanders, even flatworms, and apply them to treat all-too-human problems ranging from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease to spinal cord injury.
Dennis Steindler, executive director of the McKnight Brain Institute, leads the project, which will connect researchers working with adult human stem cells - the building blocks of self-renewal that exist within our brain, bone marrow and blood - with scientists who study how tissues and limbs develop in a variety of organisms.
"A think tank like this is where you get the big answers to big questions," Steindler said Friday.
The Regeneration Project will be funded by some $6 million in private donations, university support and state matching funds.
Two private gifts, from Jon and Beverly Thompson of Sanibel and the Thomas H. Maren Foundation in Gainesville, will help support young researchers in far-ranging disciplines. What will tie them together is their pursuit of the keys to unlock the mystery of regeneration.
"This is a project without walls that will include the Whitney Marine Lab and other marine biology labs," Steindler said. "It will also go overseas, but there will always be a collaboration with UF researchers here."
Steindler says he foresees surprisingly few barriers to understanding growth in simple systems and then applying those insights to the more complex tissue reconstruction needed in human organisms.
Steindler said the project will involve researchers from far-ranging disciplines, including scientists who study how vertebrate development began millions of years ago as well as scientists who are trying to treat blindness by influencing the activity of stem cells in the human eye. In terms of brain diseases, scientists may look at ways to mobilize and reinforce the body's own supply of adult stem cells to protect against or fight Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, cancer, multiple sclerosis and traumatic injury.
"I believe we will be able to ask questions and get answers that go not just from A to B, but from A to Q, leapfrogging us quickly forward," he said.
Recently, studies have shown humans possess some of the same genes and communication pathways used by some of nature's most remarkably regenerative animals.
Already, MBI scientists have discovered more than 100 genes associated with all major human neurological diseases in a simple marine snail, as well as more than 600 genes that control development.
In the realm of adult human stem cells, Brain Institute researchers have shown ordinary human brain cells can generate new brain tissue in mice and produce large amounts of new brain cells in culture for use as possible replacements for dead or injured cells.
The UF project is "bold" because it takes a comprehensive view of regenerative medicine, according to Arlenes Chiu, director for scientific activities at the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
"We are all excited by the great potential of stem cells to repair damage and return function," Chiu said. "It remains a great mystery, however, why some organisms are able to renew tissues, organs and even restore whole limbs while other related animals are not. Even within a single organism, we find that some tissues have a far more robust ability to replenish and replace cells than others. Yet we do not understand the bases for these differences."
All the more reason to attack the mystery with a carefully assembled brain trust of scientists, in Steindler's view. "The time is exactly right for something like this," he said.

A U.N. probe stated Wednesday there was "clear evidence to support prosecutions" against Israel for "willful killing" and torture committed when its forces stormed a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in May. It also dismissed Israel's argument that activists on the aid ship were violent thereby justifying the decision by Israeli soldiers to open fire, adding that some were the victim of actions "consistent with...summary execution."
The inquiry ordered by the U.N. Human Rights Council said Israel's military used "unnecessary violence" in the incident and committed acts that "constituted grave violations of human rights law and international humanitarian law."
There was "clear evidence to support prosecutions" of crimes against international humanitarian law including "willful killing; torture or inhuman treatment; and willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health," it said, according to AFP.

San Francisco Bay Fund Inventory of Projects
San Joaquin River Restoration Project
Organization: Natural Resources Defense Council
2000, 2001, 2002 & 2005 Grant Recipient - Contra Costa and Solano counties
2012 Update
This year marks the sixth year of the San Joaquin River Restoration Program and the third year of renewed river flows. For almost 60 years, the operations of Friant Dam diverted the entire flow of the river and dried out approximately 60 miles of downstream river bed, wiping out the historic salmon runs on the San Joaquin River. Thanks to years of hard work on the part of state and federal agencies, farmers, conservation groups, water districts and other stakeholders, the San Joaquin River once again flows all the way to the sea. In preparation for reintroducing salmon in 2012, the Restoration Program successfully achieved many key milestones.
- Improved Flood Protection
The restoration project area is bordered by mostly agricultural lands that are converted wetlands and have a long history of high groundwater tables. Last year, the Restoration Program and local landowners completed a three-year effort to develop a seepage management plan to help protect local agriculture.
- Water Supply Benefits
The Restoration Program has succeeded in providing substantial water supply benefits to Friant farmers as envisioned in the San Joaquin River Restoration settlement agreement. In the first two years of flows, water management programs have offset water supply impacts and provide almost 200,000 acre-feet more than what was released for the river when including groundwater recharge.
- Project Planning and Permits
In April of 2010, the Restoration Program released the draft programmatic environmental document. Scheduled for completion in summer of 2012, the document will allow the agencies to begin implementing restoration projects in earnest, including constructing habitat, as well as flood and water management projects to achieve the Restoration Program's goals of restoring flows and salmon while minimizing water supply impacts.
- Reintroducing Salmon in 2012
Reintroduction of salmon will not be a single event – it will be an ongoing process. The reintroduction of salmon in 2012 will sow the seeds for future returning adults and begin the process of restoring the San Joaquin River's once great salmon runs. A wealth of information will be gleaned in the first years of initial releases and help inform the construction of restoration projects currently in development. While some projects are behind schedule, the program always envisioned reintroducing salmon while constructing projects that further improve conditions in the river.

Project Photos
The San Joaquin River (shown as a yellow line) is California's second largest river, and it is a major tributary to the Bay-Delta. Historically, this river supported a thriving fishery and riparian ecosystem.
The Friant Dam, completed in 1944, diverted virtually all of the natural stream flow resulting in the "dewatering" of over 50 miles of river.
The Friant Dam caused the expiration of spring and fall run chinook salmon and steelhead which once numbered in the hundreds of thousands. It also contributed to the loss of thousands of acres of wetland and riparian habitat. The above graph is a normal year hydrograph showing what the unimpaired flow would be without Friant Dam and the actual flow released (in red) down the river.
In January of 2001 and 2002, in partnership with the San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust, the Bay Institute and the San Joaquin River Riparian Habitat Restoration Program, groups of local students plant trees to help restore a forest along the San Joaquin River at Camp Pashayan.

Shazam scores $40M investment from billionaire businessman Carlos Slim
América Móvil, the Latin American telecommunications provider led by Mexican magnate Carlos Slim, has invested $40 million in media discovery platform Shazam.
The free Shazam mobile application, available for operating systems including Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android, pinpoints entertainment content from any source, regardless of ambient noise. After users hold their handset to the audio feed for a few seconds, the clip is run through the company's database to find an exact match. Originally optimized for music discovery, Shazam has over time expanded into second-screen services, leveraging prompts integrated into TV programs and commercials to urge consumers to access additional content and information via mobile device.
"Within 18 months we expect TV will significantly outperform the music side [of the business] and that's part of this investment," Shazam Executive Chairman Andrew Fisher told Reuters. Fisher added that the growth of the firm's second-screen business is fueling hopes of an IPO: "That's our ambition, to list… Certainly, two years' time is realistic," he said.
London-based Shazam recently eclipsed the 350 million worldwide user milestone, including 70 million monthly active users, and it adds another 2 million new global users each week. The 11-year-old firm has now raised $72 million from investors including Kleiner Perkins, Institutional Venture Partners, Acacia Capital and DN Capital, and said the América Móvil investment will support its growth across the Latin American market.
Slim is ranked the world's top billionaire by Forbes magazine, with a reported net worth of $73 billion. Before Shazam, Slim's only other investments in the European communications market were stakes in Dutch operator KPN and Telekom Austria.

May 20, 2005
Fresno, Calif. - Top Fresno State prospect Matt Garza made his final start at Beiden Field on Friday Night, and turned in what has been a trademark performance. The WAC leader in strikouts, Garza pitched eight innings and struck out nine to pick up his sixth win of the season in the Bulldogs' 12-1 win over Louisiana Tech. Garza allowed one run off of nine scattered hits. Offensively, the 'Dogs rallied behind homers from Kent Sakamoto and Beau Mills to pick up the easy win.
One hit in the first inning, before striking out the side in the second, a double play and his fifth strikeout by the third inning was how Matt Garza started off against Louisiana Tech's batters. Garza, in what is likely his last start at Beiden Field continued his run as a great strikout pitcher, and got all of the offense he would need in those three innings.
The Bulldogs started out by creating runs early. After Christian Vitters was retired, Kent Sakamoto was walked, and moved to third after a wild throw on a successful stolen base attempt. Nick Moresi created the Bulldogs first RBI with a single up the middle, and scored himself after a Chase Moore double. Steve Susdorf singled to move Moore to third base, who scored on an ground ball error from Gary Holik to give Fresno State a 3-0 lead after the first inning.
The next two innings didn't prove any kinder for Louisiana Tech starter Clayton Meyer, who gave up a home run to Kent Sakamoto in the second, as well as RBI singles to Brian Lapin and Todd Sandell in the third inning to give Fresno State a 6-0 lead. The Bulldogs also added another run off of Alan Knotts in the sixth to stretch the lead to 7-0.
Louisiana Tech finally got to Garza in the eighth inning. The junior was well over 100 pitches, and gave up a double to Brandon Haygood, who was pushed around the other two bases before the Bulldogs could get the other outs to preserve the shutout.
The team exacted some revenge of their own in the eighth however. A leadoff double by DeAndre Miller and a walk from David Gomez left two runners on for Beau Mills, who had been intentionally walked in his previous at-bat. Without a free base, Louisiana Tech reliever Aaron Lorio was forced to pitch to Mills, and the freshman lifted a huge home run to right to add three runs to the total. The Bulldogs scored two more runs in that inning to lead to the final total of 12-1.
Senior Gil Infante came in for Garza to pitch the ninth inning, and made quick work of the remaining batters to seal up for the win for the Bulldogs. After Rice's loss to Hawai'i in Houston, that leaves the Bulldogs 2.0 games behind the Owls with 5 games to play.
The Bulldogs take on Louisiana Tech in game two tomorrow evening. Fresno State's Doug Fister takes the hill to match up against Louisiana Tech's Matt Lacy. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 at Beiden Field.

Rep John Lewis Last Remaining March on Washington Speaker
As many members of the press are already aware, August 28th, the night that Sen. Barack Obama will officially accept the Democratic Nomination for President of the United States, is also the 45th anniversary of the March on Washington. The date holds great power because it has marked the beginning of a series of new eras in black politics at different stages in American history. Consider these seminal moments:
On August 28, 1955, a 14-year-old boy named Emmett Till was kidnapped from his great uncle's home in Money, Mississippi by two men and killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman. Once the body was found, Till's mother insisted on an open casket funeral so that everyone would see how brutality of her son's murder. Jet magazine and other black journals around the country published the photo. African American reaction to that murder is widely considered the moment that black activism coalesced to begin the modern-day civil rights movement.
August 28, 1963, was a defining moment for the Civil Rights Movement. The March on Washington for Jobs and Justice, a vision of A. Phillip Randolph which brought together the Big Six organizations of the Civil Rights Movement, was a landmark in equal justice movement in America. Martin Luther King Jr. made his historic "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, which was a defining moment for the modern-day movement. Rep. John Lewis is the last remaining speaker from the March on Washington.
August 28, 2005, Hurricane Katrina reached its peak before hitting landfall in Louisiana the next morning. Hurricane Katrina, among the five most deadly hurricanes to ever hit the United States, is considered the most costly on record and is responsible for the deaths of over 1800 people at least. There are many who see the ineffectuality of the government response to the storm as a touchstone for the civil rights issues of the 21st century. Its advent will have social reverberations for generations to come and evokes the King legacy of poverty, jobs, and justice that he saw as the new mandate for the American agenda.
August 28, 2008, just 45 years after the March on Washington, when African Americans had to take a so-called literacy test in most Southern states to be able to register and vote, an African American will be nominated for election to the highest office in the land.
Don't miss this historic moment. Book in advance to speak to Rep. John Lewis, the last remaining speaker at the March on Washington. Appointment times in Denver are filling up, please consider taping interviews in advance and an alternate date additional to the 28th.

Not bad for the price
April 17, 2016
Only issue I had was a the smell that came from the bathroom. It smelled like someone had never flushed the toilet. I tried to suppress the smell with different cleaners and air fresheners but nothing worked. I had to keep the bathroom door closed so the smell did not get into the other part of the hotel room - unfortunately when I went back into the bathroom the smell would be worse. I decided to check out early only because I switched rooms twice and had the same problem.

The hotel was great. The only thing I didn't like was the location. When I stay in the area I prefer the Candlewood in Lacey. There are better restaurants and more activities to do there. But I enjoy both hotels and the service at both locations is great.
Comfortable stay

We have stayed twice at this hotel and it is very nice, clean and comfortable. I like the idea of the kitchens, which are very workable.
We stayed two nights the first time and three night the second time and we got a good nights sleep every night we were there.
The staff is very friendly and make you feel special, to the point that the young lady at the front desk remembered us.

Roseanne talks to Nancy Grace Tonight at 8PM EST re Steubenville
Thanks fpr all you do Roseanne, I love your sitcom
I can't believe the rape cases and abductions that are going on in the world. Roseanne is so right the world as we see and hear about it is all crazy and I love the Nancy Grace show, she does alot to help people.
I recently made a video about how the CIA created Al Qaeda and used it to attack Egypt. Here it is, in case you are interested:
This disgust me too as a young woman in my 30s I was raped & it was unreal. I couldn't believe this was happening to me, here I was a single mom working 2 & 3 jobs to raise my son alone. I went to the hospital it was a terrible experience. I was petrified to tell who did it to me as the courts always blames the victim & not the criminal. At 1 of my jobs this lady Mrs E was in the lunch room with me talking about the same exact person that raped me took her daughter when she was putting her key in her door lock & luckily she escaped in a subarban area by macing him. I am now 55 yrs old & had to go counseling for 14 years do to this episode that made me feel guilt ridden. If I had reported him would Mrs E's daughter had to go through what she did? If I testified would I be made to look like a tramp. It's really a horrific experience to endure. Wearing jeans & a nice top I don't feel I dressed suggestive. Look this is only what he got caught doing, Imagine my guilt a child.

Summit Relativity Media has been very aggressive with "Hunter Killer," earmarking the picture for a December 2012 release date for months as Phillip Noyce decided whether he was the right man for the director's chair. Though he left the project in August, Relativity continued to show faith in the adaptation of George Wallace's best-seller "Firing Point," bringing on Antoine Fuqua to direct. And with a winter start date being eyed, it looks like they have their leading men.
Gerard Butler is in negotiations to play Captain Joe Glass, the inexperienced submarine commander who ends up forming an alliance with a Navy SEALS team to rescue a kidnapped Russian president. There appears to be two more plum roles yet to be cast, with the Navy SEALS leader and the evil Russian general behind the kidnapping. While we're hoping it's a character actor all-star for the latter, Variety claims the project is looking to involve Sam Worthington as the former.
This is not the first time Fuqua and Butler's paths have crossed, as the two were linked to "Afterburn," a ridiculous-sounding science fiction comic adaptation from superproducer Neal Moritz. Both projects make sense for Butler's career trajectory, as he's been alternating between tough guy action roles and softer, less conventional parts for a while now, and "Hunter Killer" would be the final Butler-starring film of 2012, coming after the romantic comedy "Playing The Field" and the inspirational surfing drama "Of Men And Mavericks."
Worthington just wrapped his own surfing film "Drift" and seems to have a clear schedule for the near future, as he's been linked to a number of science fiction projects that probably wouldn't start shooting anytime soon. He was supposed to feature in "The Last Days Of American Crime" for F. Gary Gray, but it appears that fell through, as it was being shopped at Cannes for a September start date.
It looked like "Hunter Killer," a collaboration between screenwriters Jamie Moss, John Kolvenbach and Arne Schmidt, would have a clearer path to success after "The Lone Ranger" departed from that December 21st release date. But that period remains crowded, as "Hunter Killer" will face off against "The Life Of Pi," Judd Apatow's "This Is Forty" and "World War Z." Did we mention "Django Unchained" sees release four days later? Relativity's an aggressive company, but they aren't stupid, so it wouldn't be surprising for them to either postpone that winter start date and select a 2013 release strategy, or go full force and shoot this quickly.

Prep Rally previously brought you a deeply disturbing story from Utah, where a teen soccer player had punched a recreational soccer referee in the head, landing him in critical condition at an area hospital. Now that tale has taken an even more tragic turn after the referee in question died from complications related to injuries suffered in the attack.
As reported by the Associated Press and a variety of Utah news outlets, 46-year-old Ricardo Portillo died Saturday at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah, just outside Salt Lake City. The referee had been hospitalized there since the attack on April 27, where Portillo issued a yellow card to a player in a recreational match and was attacked by the player with a strong punch to his head.
The AP has reported that the player in question was a goalie, competing in a game at Taylorsville (Utah) Eisenhower Junior High. The yellow card was connected with a play on a corner kick, where Portillo saw the goalkeeper in question push an opponent and decided the action was worthy of a formal caution. As he wrote down the goalie's name in his notebook, the player reportedly snuck up alongside the ref and punched him directly in the head.
"When he was writing down his notes, he just came out of nowhere and punched him," Johanna Portillo, the victim's daughter, told the AP.
Portillo's reaction to the punch was not immediate, but was frightening. The 46-year-old reportedly said he felt fine in the immediate aftermath of the attack, but then asked to be held up because he felt dizzy. Portillo then sat down on the field and began vomiting blood, eliciting panicked calls for an emergency ambulance at the field.
The goalie in question has since been booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault, though he could face additional charges now that Portillo has died. There has also been an ongoing debate about whether to charge the teen as an adult, despite the fact that he is 17 and not 18-years-old.
The now-deadly attack is just the latest disturbing example of aggressive action against referees going far beyond the realm of what is even remotely acceptable. More often it has been parents attacking referees, though players have occasionally gone beyond the realm of the reasonable in their reactions as well.
Most recently, a parent of an athlete in a Nebraska seventh-grade church basketball league attacked a referee who had his glasses snapped in half. Similarly, a March youth hockey game in Hamilton, Ontario, was the site of a parental attack on a referee who had the temerity (in their eyes) to break up a potential fight between players of the teams in the game was was officiating.
Perhaps the most disturbing attack before the Taylorsville tragedy came in Florida in 2011, where a group of players and coaches violently attacked a referee at a Sarasota youth football game.
Youth and prep soccer hasn't been free of violence in the past, either. While former New Mexico women's soccer player Elizabeth Lambert remains the benchmark for aggressive and violent play, Lewisville (S.C.) High athlete Annette McCullough received an assault charge for aggressive attacking a foe in a 2012 game and, in Utah, Salt Lake City (Utah) East High senior Petiola Manu was notably caught violently kneeing a foe during a game as well.
One can only hope that the lessons from this attack -- and the subsequent jail time that the teen in question is likely to serve -- will provide ample deterrent for future athletes and parents who struggle to contain their emotions in the midst of what is just a game, even if similar incidents in the past haven't succeeded in doing so.

We no longer link to this site.
Carol Cox is one of those websites that you might find overwhelming when you first sign in, with so many links and a redirect or two onto a differently formatted page, as well as onto a vast collection of sites called the Wild Rose Network. I wasn't even sure where to start and then quickly enough I found that the navigation simplified itself, simply by selecting either the main heading of pictures or videos.
The rest of the links were to specific subcategories and using the main headings rapidly summarized what was actually available on CarolCox. Depending on what kind of amateur action you're craving, the subcategories are pretty helpful. There's lots of content featuring this big-breasted blonde. She loves orgies and she's just as talented at sucking cocks as she as at eating pussy.
We'll start with the pictures. There are 193 galleries in all and the quality really varies. About a quarter of these are high-res and only some can be saved as Zip files. There are 18 categories and they include Carol's special events, Carol's anal college and Carol's cougar chase and in them you'll find extras featuring other amateurs.
The video section consists of 184 videos and you can count on a hell of a lot of hardcore. Most movies come in DivX, MP4, MPEG and Windows Media format. If you browse around, you're bound to come across some HD movies. You can also stream them in a Flash player.
You also can use your membership to access an additional 75 full-access sites, such as Brandi 4 U, Joy of Spex and XXX Mina, as well as forums, jokes, stories, comics and live cam links. The site overall is a fun voyage into voyeurism with real amateur men and women who often star with the more mature and experienced Carol Cox.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.

By far one of the best amateur sites I've come across. Her content is is true HD, and easy to download. I download it and watch it on my TV and it's great. There's also another 75 or so sites on her wild rose network thingy. People like Zoey Andrews, and a few others are onthere and damn they're hot too.
I must say it's the best 20$ I've spent on porn in months. Only thing I noticed which I wasn't a big fan of was the live cam. I'd love to see her on live cam. I see all the videos of her doing it inthe past she needs to get back on live cam and it ould be a true 10 on 10 site.

Missoula made the five point weekend escape category of New York Magazine's Travel section.
The article gives mention to quintessential Missoula businesses in the areas of overnight stay, places to eat, things to do, insider tips, and how to fill an oddball day.
Goldsmith's Bed and Breakfast, located on the Clark Fork River, was one of the hot spots to stay the night.
The article boasted hand-made quilts and frontdoor proximity to the river and the university campus.
"A lot of the guests that stay here have to do with the University. Families coming to check out the campus can just walk right across the bridge here and go do their tours or whatnot. We get a lot of Grizzly football fans in the fall."
Gibson Mansion was another mention. The 1903 house was relocated to it's current place on 39th Street.
The house once stood in the historic district near Hellgate High School, where it acted as a fraternity and sorority house at separate times.
It was moved to its current location in the 70s to escape demolition.
"I think it's a great representation of Missoula, being part of Missoula's history with AJ Gibson being the architect. One of the most noted architects in the Pacific Northwest, and the fact that this house was one of his designs."
Some other niche Missoula attractions mentioned are Biga Pizza and Catalyst Café, for their use of local and regional resources. Grizzly Hackle and Dunrovin Ranch are being touted as great businesses to pass the time with while visiting the area.
Although the article focused on Missoula, the Bison Inn Café and the ghost town of Garnet also made the list as insider tips. To check out that article for yourself, click here.

Cigarette Ruling Deals a Blow to 'Roll-Your-Own' Retail Shops
The U.S. government, dealing a blow to tobacco stores that have hawked deeply discounted cigarettes, ruled that retailers that sell cartons produced by rolling machines in their stores must obtain manufacturing permits and pay applicable federal taxes.
The ruling, issued Thursday by the U.S. Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, addresses a controversial industry practice in which some stores have sold "roll-your-own" cigarettes for as little as $16 a carton-typically less than half the cost of major brands such as Marlboro and Camel.
About 150 tobacco outlets in some 20 states have engaged in the activity, using high-speed rolling machines that yield a carton of cigarettes in eight minutes, according to an estimate by one maker of the devices.
"We do not believe that Congress intended for a consumer to be able to purchase at retail commercially manufactured cigarettes upon which tax has not been appropriately paid," the tobacco-tax bureau said in its ruling. "We also do not believe Congress intended to authorize a commercial cigarette-manufacturing operation to occur on premises not subject to federal regulation."
Manufacturers of cigarettes must obtain permits from the tobacco-tax bureau, comply with recordkeeping rules and pay $10.07 in federal excise taxes for each carton of cigarettes they make. The tobacco-tax bureau's ruling suggests that many retailers may now find it cost-prohibitive to own or lease such machines.
An executive with RYO Machine Rental LLC, an Ohio manufacturer that has sold or leased about 200 of the machines to retailers, didn't respond to requests for comment on the impact of the ruling.
One reason that retailers have been able to offer the machine-made cigarettes at bargain prices, The Wall Street Journal reported in August, is that they or their customers have been inserting into the machines tobacco labeled "pipe tobacco." This substantially reduces the stores' and smokers' costs because the federal excise tax on pipe tobacco is $2.83 a pound, compared with $24.78 a pound for the rolling tobacco traditionally used to make hand-rolled cigarettes. Congress in 2009 sharply raised the federal excise tax on rolling tobacco, while increasing more modestly the rate for pipe tobacco.
Some members of Congress and some cigarette manufacturers, such as Vector Group Ltd. VGR 0.61 % 's Liggett Vector Brands Inc., have decried the wrinkle in federal tax law that has led some makers of rolling tobacco to relabel the product as pipe tobacco. The tobacco-tax bureau has been soliciting industry input to help write new rules to clearly differentiate the two types of loose tobacco. Several loose-tobacco makers have said they are adhering to current law and regulations and that they merely reacted to a dramatic tax increase on roll-your-own tobacco.

|WP boys take record to 11-11 during 2011-12 campaign
|Written by Wauneta Breeze

Two Wau-Pal seniors — Reese West, at left, and Bo Fanning — saw their high school basketball careers come to a close during subdistricts. The Bronco boys closed their 2011-12 season at 11-11.
By Diane Stamm
The Wauneta Breeze
Statistically speaking, history seems to be repeating itself. Four years ago the 2007-08 boys basketball season saw the Wauneta-Palisade Broncos take the court for the first time since an undefeated run to the State Championship in March.
Its 2007-08 record 11-11.
Last year's Broncos' team finished 26-2 and advanced to the state tourney, ultimately bringing home a runner-up finish.
This year's record after a state-tourney run 11-11 in a statistical coincidence.
The Broncos faced quality opponents this year in Brady (19-4) and two state-bound teams, Paxton (22-1) and Hayes Center (16-7). Those three teams accounted for six of the Wauneta-Palisade's 11 losses.
The Broncos also fell to C1's 14-10 Chase County and lost to Medicine Valley (12-10) twice, including a heartbreaker in the first round of subdistricts.
The Broncos only picked up two wins against teams with records of .500 and above. Wauneta-Palisade defeated Cambridge (11-11) in its second game of the season and defeated C2's Dundy County-Stratton (13-10) in the regular season finale.
Coach Dave Kuhlen said the DCS win was the highlight of the season.
"It was our best performance in terms of doing things at the end of the game to close out a win. We were 19 of 20 from the foul line in the 4th quarter. We weren't perfect in ball handling, but we were better than usual. Plus we didn't give up layups and made them earn their points," Kuhlen noted.
Hopefully Wauneta-Palisade won't have to wait four years for a return trip to the State Championship game. The Broncos will return a solid core of players next season while losing senior leaders Reese West and Bo Fanning.
Fanning averaged 5.8 points per game this season and probably led the team with his hustle. Fanning collected 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals per contest while being second on the team with 47 assists.
West led the team with 61 assists and scored 2.5 points per game. His 32 steals were third on the team.
Kuhlen said of his seniors, "Bo and Reese have kind of been attached at the hip in my eyes over the years. You couldn't picture one without the other. They both have a lot to be proud in their basketball career. I thank them for their efforts and wish them the best in the future."
Junior Logan Bischoff will lead the team into next season. Bischoff averaged a double-double on the season, leading the team in scoring, 17.9 points, and rebounding, 10.5. He also led the team in free throw shooting, 92/137, steals and blocked shots.
"Logan was certainly our most consistent player," Kuhlen said, adding that Bischoff needs to step up as a vocal leader for his senior season.
Five other Broncos saw significant playing time this season. Juniors Jack McGraw, Connor Kayton and Jacob Maris and sophomores Hayden Pollmann and Wes Anderjaska will bring starting experience to the 2012-13 season.
Forward McGraw averaged 6.2 points and Pollmann chipped in 5.7 per contest. Guards Maris and Kayton each averaged nearly five points per game while Anderjaska averaged 2.6 from his guard position.
Maris made a team high 28 three pointers. McGraw snagged 7.8 rebounds per game.
Kuhlen says this group needs "to work to get their game and, maybe even more importantly, their mentality to a different level." He stressed that all aspects of the game need to be improved upon over the summer.
Offensive production was down 17 points per game to 49.4 in 2011-12. With many players seeing action in both jayvee and varsity games, the jayvees played three-quarter games, averaging 42 points during their 11-3 campaign.
Hopefully this offensive success for the younger players can be carried over to next season for the varsity and with hard work and hustle, Broncos fans can look forward to another trip to Lincoln soon.

20 C.F.R. Parts 655 and 656
Or those persons equally qualified in the case of an alien described in 20 C.F.R. Part 656.21a regarding Special Handling applications for teaching faculty at colleges and universities. So long as the college followed its usual recruitment process and hired the most qualified applicant for the position within the past eighteen months, the college could prefer a foreign national over a US worker.
U.S. workers are citizens and lawful permanent residents (i.e., "green card" holders).
The prevailing wage is defined by the SWA as the average wage paid to similarly employed workers in the requested occupation in the area of intended employment.
Level I is for positions generally requiring a bachelor degree or its equivalent as a minimum to entry into the position. Level II is for positions generally requiring a bachelor degree and two years of experience, or a master's degree only, or the equivalent. Level III is for positions generally requiring a bachelor degree and four years of experience, or a master's degree and two years of experience, or the equivalent. Level IV is for positions generally requiring a bachelor degree and seven years of experience, or a master's degree and four years of experience, or the equivalent. Most teaching and research positions at the college and university level will fall into an Occupational Employment Statistics ("OES") Level IV pay scale category.
DOL General Administration Letter No. 2-98, issued October 31, 1997, seeking to clarify and provide guidance in making prevailing wage determinations. Effective January 1, 1998.
An employer must post a printed notice for ten consecutive business days in a conspicuous location.
An employer must place two advertisements on two different Sundays – the ads must name the employer, direct the applicant to submit a resume to the employer, and sufficiently describe the job such that an individual can "recognize" the duties of the position. These ads must be placed more than 30 but less than 180 days prior to filing.
For "professional" positions (listed in the Appendix to the Regulations), the employer must conduct three additional forms of recruiting from the following list: attend job fairs, post the position on the employer's website, post the position on an internet job search site, conduct on-campus recruiting, post the position with trade or professional associations, enlist the assistance of private recruiting firms, have employee referral programs that include identifiable incentives, post a notice of the job opening at a campus placement office, utilize local and ethnic newspapers where appropriate, or conduct radio and/or television advertisements.
See PERM Regulations sections 656.5 and 656.15 describing "[a]liens who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or aliens of exceptional ability."
If an employer is chosen for "supervised recruitment," then a more detailed recruitment report is required, including naming the recruitment resources, listing the names of applicants, and providing resumes, interview dates, and reasons for rejection.
Go to http://www.plc.doleta.gov to complete and file Form ETA 9089. Once certified by the DOL, the employer must sign the Form ETA 9089. The signed form will be filed with the I-140 Immigrant Visa Petition. The signed form and the I-140 are filed with the appropriate USCIS Service Center.
Processing centers will be listed at http://atlas.doleta.gov/foreign/pdf/05-2373.pdf.
Labor certification applications filed under PERM are subject to audit. When an audit is recommended for an application, the adjudication period could be longer. Audits will be computer-generated via a "random-sampling methodology" or based on an analyst's review of the application warranting a request for further information from the employer. If audited, the employer must respond within 30 days of the audit request. Failure to respond to the audit request or to a denial of an application may result in all of the employer's future filings being subject to supervised recruitment by the SWA for a two-year period.
DOL may revoke a case "for cause" in situations where it questions the veracity of the labor certification application.

text: McGuinness steps up pressure over Haass 03 Jan 2014 Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness says Unionist leaders must tell the public if they back the outcome of the Haass talks. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast On Friday the Deputy First Minister challenged the DUP and the Ulster Unionists to clarify where they stand on the draft agreement proposed by former US diplomat Richard Haass on how to solve disputes on flags, parades and dealing with the past.The negotiations involving Northern Ireland's five main political parties ended without a deal in the early hours of New Year's Eve.Sinn Féin and the SDLP have endorsed the Haass proposals, while the Alliance Party said it would support the proposal on the past.The DUP and Ulster Unionists both indicated they had major difficulties with a number of proposals drawn up by the Haass team.Peter Robinson and Mike Nesbitt said their respective parties will now discuss the document internally within their own structures.The implementation of the Haass proposals must be the key priority for the five Executive parties. The time for taking decisions is here.Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness"It is not unreasonable to ask both Unionist Party leaderships if they will be recommending acceptance of the Haass document to their party executives when and if they meet, rather than attempt to renegotiate the Haass proposals," Mr McGuinness said on Friday."People deserve to know the answers to these simple questions. We are elected to sort out these matters and seek resolutions."There is no ambiguity on where Sinn Féin stands. We have made it clear that despite reservations we were prepared to move forward and recommend acceptance," he added.Earlier this week, Mr Robinson said he supported the proposal by Dr Haass to create a working group made up of representatives of the DUP, Sinn Féin, UUP, SDLP and Alliance."I will recommend to my party colleagues that they support the suggestion made by Dr Haass that a "working group" be established to see how agreed elements can be taken forward while seeking to resolve areas where disagreement remains," the First Minister said.Dr Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and an envoy to Northern Ireland from 2001-2003, and talks vice-chairman Meghan O'Sullivan, a Harvard professor with experience in post-conflict Iraq, were asked in July by the Executive to submit recommendations for dealing with unresolved issues in Northern Ireland. © UTV Share Share Share

NBA fans are not always NCAA fans, and vice versa. One argument made by followers of the pro game is, there is not a lot of talent in college. There can be a lot of sloppy games with head scratching finishes (see: 1st and 2nd round of tournament). Upsets are great and all but do we really all want so much parity? Quick, who is the underdog on Saturday when Butler plays VCU? (It's VCU, getting 2.5).
To me, college basketball, in the words of Bill Belichick, "is what it is." You got major programs with rule bending coaches trying to get the best players, who usually come in for 1 or 2 seasons before bolting for the big bucks and bigger challenges. You also have smaller schools that need to rely more on teamwork and often have experienced juniors and seniors, and it's their coaches that leave them for the bigger programs. The highlight of the college hoops season is the NCAA tournament, mainly because everyone loves to gamble, people love brackets, and anyone can win. The games aren't bad either.
I am a fan of both. Despite the two being "basketball," they truly are different games, but it's ok to like both. Since my preference is the NBA, I always watch college contests with an emphasis on the players pro potential. The tourney is a great time to see dozens of players in a single afternoon that could one day be playing in the league. If you paid attention to this year's "madness" you saw the top pick candidates of Derrick Williams, Kyrie Irving, and Harrison Barnes all shine, but all of their teams failed to reach the coveted Final 4. So the question remains, who are the best pro prospects left in the dance?
NBA scouts will undoubtedly be paying closer attention to the late game on Saturday aka the left side of your bracket when Kentucky takes on UConn. According to Chad Ford's Top 100 on ESPN there are 7 players in the Final 4, (6 are playing in the same game).
UConn- Kemba Walker (9) Alex Oriakhi (69) Jeremy Lamb (73)
Kentucky- Brandon Knight (10), Terrence Jones (11) Doron Lamb (51)
Butler- Shelvin Mack (59)
Once again Coach Calipari has 3 freshmen ranked in the top 60, of course last year he had John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, and Daniel Orton all go in the 1st round. This year he will have two 1st round picks in Knight and Jones, giving NBA fanatics a reason to watch this weekend.
Kemba Walker is worth the price of admission by himself. Since the Big East Tournament (and not being named Big East Player of the Year, losing out to Ben Hansbrough of Notre Dame) Walker has been possessed, ripping of 5 wins in a row to win the conference, and now 4 more to get to the Final 4. While doing this the junior guard has launched up the draft boards.
Walker is just 6'1 and a shoot first point guard. He has much more college experience than the other top PGs in the draft (Irving & Knight both freshmen), but his ceiling probably isn't as high. In his rookie contract (based on current CBA) you'll likely get more out of Walker than those other two, but I would be surprised if he reaches the type of success he is having in his AP 1st Team All-American season.
Brandon Knight is not Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, or John Wall, but he will be a lottery pick, and has a great chance to be a solid pro. He's improved his draft stock throughout the 2nd half of the season, including an SEC Title and run to the Final 4. His match up with Walker will be the thing to watch this weekend.
Terrence Jones is a classic case of a guy who will be drafted in the lottery, but should stay in school for another season to mature and develop his game. He could make a run at being the top pick if he stays. A 6'8 small forward, who is easily the closest thing to a head case of all the prospects playing on Saturday. He will make unbelievable plays in the same game where you wonder if he knows what team he is playing against. With that said, if I'm picking in the teens, he wouldn't get past me.
Clearly, Walker, Knight, and Jones are the guys to watch this weekend. Lamb (for UK and UConn), Oriahki, and Shabazz could be in the Top 25 next season, but not now.
As for the VCU-Butler match up? That's one for the pure college basketball fans. Two small schools with excellent young coaches getting the most out of their talent.
Take a break from biting your finger nails, pulling your hair, punching the wall, throwing your remote, and everything else you've been doing during the recent Celtics games and enjoy the Final 4 this weekend.

Oceanside's run ends at Hicksville
1 2 Next page >
Despite a storybook late-season run, the Sailors of Oceanside will not be living happily ever after as they fell 64-53 to No. 5 Hicksville last Saturday afternoon in the Nassau Class AA boys' basketball playoffs.
Oceanside had been 5-1 since Jan. 17, its only loss coming in overtime, to bring its overall record to 10-8 and propel it into the playoffs.
"The second half of the season the kids played very hard and very well," Coach Dan Keegan said. "I think our guys may have just run out of gas today."
An out-bracket playoff win over Massapequa may have been the biggest of the season for No. 12 Oceanside and no one came up bigger in that game than senior Hunter Sabety. The center scored 48 points and grabbed 20 rebounds in the Valentine's Day bout that sent his team into the playoffs.
Saturday was not as proficient for Sabety as he was held to 14. Hicksville triple-teamed Sabety almost every time he touched the ball, resulting in the offensive hiccup. He did however make up for it on the defensive end as almost any Hicksville player who tried a shot near the hoop felt the wrath of Sabety's long arms followed by his Dikembe Mutumbo-esque finger wag.
"We didn't do a very good job of getting him the ball but he played very well, he guarded our rim very well," Keegan said of his star. "He had a great career, an unbelievable season and he did what he could do but there were bodies on him the whole game."
Picking up the slack for Oceanside was Casey Kelly, a junior who ran the point the entire game while contributing 17 points and displaying a very smooth jumper.
"He's a junior who really stepped up and continues to step up," Keegan said of Kelly. "He's going to be a big part of next year, he's a very confident kid and he kept us in the game when we were very flat offensively."
The sharpshooting of Kelly kept Oceanside within reach throughout; he tied the game in the third, and a four-point play by senior Jonah Kaplan brought the deficit to one in the fourth but the Sailors had no answer for Hicksville's Nick Petrucelli, who was lights-out down the stretch and paced all scorers with 25 points.

I'm not very confident with developpement in general and specially with javascript but I need to develop a zimlet which can prepare a formated mail with only a signle click on the zimlet icon.
I'm lost in the documentations, indeed as someone that doesn't like code
Do you know how to do a simple zimlet like this ?
What I'd like is a simple zimlet that can send an email to "a" with a body and subject that I can edit in the code
Is it simple to do that ? I tried to understand some codes from other zimlets that were sending e-mails but I cound't make it to work correctly
Thank you
