Don't Have A Website Yet?
If your business is not on the Internet, it is not doing as well as it could. In todays day and age, if you are not advertising on the Internet, you are losing a significant amount of business.
You advertise your business in local newspapers, newsletters and even local radio. That is great. You are getting enough business to keep you afloat. You may receive inquiries from the surrounding cities, or even the bordering provinces, and that is awesome. What if you could attract business from another country? When you finally decide to take advantage of technology, the Internet is an incredible universe of its own.
When you create a Website, and starting an e-commerce trade, you are opening your business to a whole new world. Businesses that would not know that you exist are now able to view your website, research your services and contact you with any questions.
By taking advantage of the Internet, you are allowing your business to grow in ways that it could not if you were to advertise with conventional methods.
In recent years, the E-commerce trades as raised a steady twenty-five every year and experts feel that this trend will continue. When you finally decide to take the plunge and get your business started on the Internet, there are a few steps that you should take before starting. This will be a nerve wrecking, nail biting point in the growth of your business.
There are steps to take before jumping in.
As with any new venture, do a lot of research. Find out what the statistics and trends are for your type of business. Make sure that your products or services are available as soon as your Website goes live. You want to have everything ready to ship as soon as you get an order. If a client feels that they have received exceptional treatment, your business will experience repeat business.
After your website is created and goes live, there is more to do. Advertising your business in the right manner is crucial. Joining E-commerce organizations and associations can give your business the boost it needs. These are groups of business owners just like you who want to advertise their businesses.
When you join these organizations and associations you are agreeing to their rules and terms. Most have very strict rules of conduct, and once established, potential clients will find you through them.
Remember, if you are debating whether or not to go forward and start an E-commerce Trade, your competitors are taking advantage of the Internet. For everyday that you procrastinate, your competitors will take full advantage of all that the Internet has to offer.

Late Blight
Early symptoms of late blight infection include irregular olive or gray water-soaked lesions on the leaves and stems of tomatoes and potatoes. Both crops are vulnerable to this fungal disease at every stage of their growth cycle. A mildew-like white mold may also develop on or near these lesions. The disease spreads rapidly and can kill crops within a week of infection. (Late blight fungus, Phytophthora infestans, was the cause of the potato famine in Ireland in the 1850s.)
Unlike early blight, late blight does not cause the plant's leaves to drop off; leaves usually remain attached even after they've turned brown and dried up. On tomato plants, infected fruits develop large sunken areas. These may not appear until after harvest. On potato plants, infection of leaves doesn't necessarily mean that tubers will be diseased. Tubers become infected by late blight when fungal spores wash down through the soil or tubers come in contact with foliage at harvest.
To prevent this from happening, remove and destroy all potato foliage and wait a week before harvesting to allow the tuber skins to cure. Monitor potatoes in storage for dry brownish rotted areas; disease symptoms may not appear until after harvest.
Wet weather with cool nights and warm days favors the spread of late blight. In warm parts of the United States, the pathogen can overwinter in soil and plant debris. In cold-winter areas, it survives only in potato tubers left in the soil, though the fungal spores move easily and quickly on the wind, spreading northward each growing season.
Actinovate® fungicide helps prevent a wide range of plant diseases, including late blight on tomatoes and other garden vegetables.
Prevention and Control
- As a preventive measure, use Actinovate®, an organic fungicide. Add a copper-based product, such as our ready-to-spray Copper Fungicide, when late blight is present.
- Buy certified disease-free seed and transplants. Seek out late blight-resistant varieties of tomatoes and potatoes.
- Keep plant foliage as dry as possible; use drip irrigation or soaker hoses rather than overhead watering. Space plants generously to ensure good air circulation.
- Uproot and destroy any volunteer tomato or potato plants that sprout in your garden.
- Plants that become infected with late blight can rarely be saved. As the disease advances, the number of fungal spores produced multiplies rapidly. Remove infected plants from your garden as soon as possible. Bury deeply in the soil or put them in a plastic bag for disposal.
- Be thorough when harvesting potatoes. Destroy any infected tubers that you find.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Of course not! I am happy to hear from you.
I would leave everything alone until she is done with the property and she no longer holds any legal rights to be on it (You may want to double check this with your attorney just to be sure). But my take would be that if you remove the stuff now and she has a right to still be on the property, then she can claim you stole her items as a way of getting back at her. The least amount of conflict you can have with her until the property reverts back to you, the better.
Please contact me anytime you have something you need to talk about.
You could ask the friend to move it in. Just be sure you have a witness to the interaction. I know it sounds overboard, but these things can get out of hand and escalate when emotions are involved and I am concerned about you getting hurt if they try to make an issue of it.
You could also ask her in writing (certified letter) to remove the items from the front porch. It may not get you anywhere, but it is worth a try.
It is ok that this bugs you. The lack of control you have at this point over the situation and the way your niece is treating you (as if it is your fault) can create a strong need to do anything to fix the situation so you can have some peace. You are having a very normal reaction to all of this. Many people experience heightened anxiety, sleep problems and other reactions when caught up in conflicts like this. It would be odd if you were not feeling this upset!
Let me know what happens,Kate
That is some really great therapy you thought of! Gosh, I enjoyed reading that. I may have to borrow that idea from you to help other people.
Oh yes, you are being normal about this. Don't worry about that.
Your attitude about this is wonderful. Buy some really nice stuff and decorate the heck out of your porch. It will make you feel better. You could also buy a temporary privacy shade if that would help. Then when she leaves for good, you can take it down and sit out there and enjoy the peace and quiet.
I think I should be accepting your replies instead for making me laugh! That is some great therapy for your granddaughter as well. How wonderful for her to have someone like you in her life. She is truly blessed.
Have a good night,

When my mother-in-law died two years ago, she left behind an inch-thick collection of small denomination U.S. savings bonds. She had begun buying them as a retirement hedge when she and her late husband were first married -- nearly 40 years before her death.
Many of the bonds were no longer paying interest, and none of them had current co-owners or beneficiaries, so they all had to go through probate, which slowed the distribution process among her heirs and reduced the value of the bonds because of probate-related fees.
If investing in savings bonds is part of your retirement planning, here are four steps to take to make sure that you and your heirs get the most out of your investment. The advice comes from Jackie Brahney of SavingsBonds.com, a website that offers a savings bond calculator and other management tools.
Pay attention to maturity dates. Brahney says that bond owners sacrifice millions in interest annually because they hold on to bonds past the time when the security becomes payable and stops earning interest.
Make sure you have a beneficiary or co-owner. You can register the bonds in two ways. In either case, the bonds will pass to your heir without probate.
- "John Smith Payable on Death (POD) to Jane Smith." Jane Smith is the beneficiary without rights to the bond until the owner dies.
- "John Smith OR Jane Smith." Jane Smith is the co-owner and has equal rights to the bond.
Study up before you cash out. A bond's cash value varies. For instance, market conditions can make the security worth its full face value before its term even expires. Some savings bonds also have an "extended maturity period" when they continue to earn interest. Sell the wrong bond at the wrong time, and you'll lose out.
Consider taxes. One of the advantages of savings bonds is federal tax deferral, but when you finally redeem the bonds, you'll owe the Internal Revenue Service on all interest earnings, including the inflation adjustment on I bonds. If you redeem a stack of bonds, it could push you into a higher tax bracket, so sell strategically.

I automatically think Joss Whedon, so I think it works. I imagine Joss as more of an artsy type of guy.
Printable View
Joss Whedon gives it a great male connection, but I can't help but think of singer Joss Stone. Also, my mom's boyfriend's five year old daughter is named Josslyn (not sure of the spelling) and a lot of people call her Joss so that's all I see.
Joss is one of the few nicknames I think works equally well for a boy or girl.
I'm actually in a similar tho kind of reversed situation. I want to use the nn Joe but, tho I like the name Joseph, I wanted something a bit different. Hence Josiah.
I actually really like Joe, but I'm a fan of "regular guy" names on little boys. I think they're fresh among the Kadens and Aidens and Sebastians nowadays.
Jack is a bit trendy to me, but I do like it a lot. Jagger not so much, altho maybe just Jag would be cool? I quite like that, actually.
In real life, the only Joss I know is a girl whose full name is Jocelyn, so I tend to think of this as a girl's name. For Joseph, I just like Joe, which has a nice understated sound to it, but without anything "average" about it. As a little boy, I'd call him Joey.
Re: Jody, I have known a male Jody, but he got a lot of teasing for his name and as a slightly below-average-height little boy, got into a lot of fights (maybe to defend his name?)
Joseph Arthur is a great name! And I think Joss is a great nn for Joseph! I'm not familiar with Joss Whedon (though it does sound vaguely familiar), but I will admit that for the first ... year or so after I heard of Joss Stone, I thought she was a boy. I hadn't heard her music, obviously, just about her and I assumed from the name Joss that she was a boy. So obviously I find it incredibly masculine.
Also ... this may be a reach, but nicknames are all about what feels right to the parents, so ... what if you called him Jasper? All the sounds are there in Joseph Arthur, and it kind of sounds Jasper if you say it fast ... just throwing it out there since you like it so much but can't have it. Could be another option where you both get what you want. :)

Chip Chipperson Animation
Jim Norton presents the life & times of the unfunniest man on the planet – The Chip Chipperson Show!
I'll let Chip and friends do the talking/begging in the debut pilot episode, right here, right now –
For years, I have been doing revolting characters on the radio. People have asked me so many times to animate them and it's something I've always wanted to do. I am finally here. Instead of pitching to networks and trying to explain the appeal of these characters, which I don't even understand because they're all so unappealing, I figured I'd try to get funding so I can do the animations exactly as I want to do them, with no interference. Explaining why these characters are entertaining would be impossible.
This campaign is to fund FIVE more episodes of the Chip Chipperson Show like what you just watched. They'll include all these jerks and some other people, maybe even you –
The show is being animated by Big Hug Productions
Big Hug Productions is an intellectual property development and production company, specializing in comedy content for the digital age. Our award winning team has worked for the top companies in the business from GE, HBO and Comedy Central to PBS, Nickelodeon and Disney along with many others. www.bighugproductions.com
They're making sure the animation is top quality and delivered on time and I'm excited to be working with them. But let's be pessimistic, what happens if something goes wrong?
The biggest risk is that I ask for donations, no one gives them, and I have to kill off Chip. Actually, scratch that – the biggest risk is that Chip is a huge success and the whole country is walking around cracking shitty jokes, doing his nasal laugh and saying, "Whasss that??" everytime the word 'chip' comes up in conversation.
Because I honestly do believe in this project, I used my own money to make the pilot and go through all phases of character designs, experimenting with the animation styles, etc. The risk is that people will see the pilot and detest the characters. Which would be understandable.
We're also receiving support from Breadpig, Inc for the campaign including making sure your perks get produced and shipped to you in a timely manner.

Cannes Film Review: 'Henri'
The titular central character never really comes into focus in Yolande Moreau's straightforward but uninvolving solo-directing debut.
The titular central character never really comes into focus in Yolande Moreau's straightforward but uninvolving solo-directing debut.
"We Are What We Are," "Magic Magic" and a Jodorowsky double bill are set to unspool in the Cannes sidebar.
"Peggy Sue Got Married" gets a cute French accent in "Camille Rewinds," an amiable comedy that ultimately goes on too long without taking its back-to-the-past premise in an emotionally satisfying…
French troublemakers Benoit Delepine and Gustave de Kervern concoct yet another portrait of bizarre behavior in this virtually unexportable oddity.
It can't be easy to find the right roles for Yolande Moreau, whose brutishly unladylike features often appear in sharp contrast with the soft-spoken dignity of her characters.
A contempo Western-horror-black comedy rolled into one.
Unsatisfying if occasionally amusing hybrid attempt by the helmers to maintain their offbeat humor.
Both evocative and faithful in its depiction of the famed French singer's lascivious life.
"Seraphine," a modestly budgeted biopic of Gallic painter Seraphine de Senlis, took top honors at France's 34th Cesar Awards Friday, taking seven nods including film, original screenplay and actress…
A naive, between-the-wars French painter is brought to vivid life in the satisfying fact-inspired drama "Seraphine."
Canuck distributor Seville Pictures has bought six pics for Canada, including John Sayles' "Honeydripper."

It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets whatsoever
save the pain I'll leave behind.

And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...
The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.
At every turning of my life

Even when the time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.

you never die.

Public Garden
Boston's Public Garden is the groomed and formal younger cousin to the more casual and boisterous Boston Common. The first public botanical garden in America, its form, plantings, and statuary evoke its Victorian heritage. This green and flowering oasis in the heart of a great metropolis has become a Boston icon. No visit would be complete without a stroll in the Garden and a voyage on one of its Swan Boats.
The Garden is truly a people's park and a public pride. It is not only accessible to everyone, but citizens have always played an extraordinary role in protecting and preserving it. Observing the Garden on a peaceful summer's day with the trees in leaf, the flower beds bright with color, and the Swan Boats tracing their tranquil course around the serpentine pond, you would never think of it as a civic battleground. In fact, it has been an ongoing struggle to keep these twenty-four acres of reclaimed land as a place of quiet beauty for the enjoyment of all.

An international panel of scientists is expected to issue a report Friday that dismisses nearly every doubt that human activity has caused temperatures to warm, glaciers to melt, and seas to bulge since the middle of last century. If greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise precipitously, the report will warn, there will be catastrophic consequences. Whether these strong words will be met with meaningful response is another matter.
Final verdict: Humans caused global warming

It "dismisses every doubt" unless you're a Teabagger. Then, not even Jesus descending from the sky with the Word of God on a scroll, saying "global warming is manmade" would be enough.

Conservatives consider NBC News the paragon of the "lamestream" media.
They will not budge from their opinion because the message came from NBC.

Click here to listen to Steve Allan's press conference
The Holden Australian Open Championship, despite the efforts of the more lucrative events on the Australasian Tour calendar to upstage it, remains as this country's most prestigious event. It is the title that every Australian golfer wants to win at home and, for those who have won it already, to win again. It represents class in almost every aspect and, despite the debacle of events early in the week, it has not as some have suggested, lost any of its gloss. When Steve Allan holed out to win the high drama of Thursday had disappeared, or the moment at least, from the minds of most and Allan's win, shows once again, that the event produces winners of the highest quality.
That Kenny Perry was a late withdrawal from the event was never going to impact on a field of this quality. Sure, we never had the absolute elite of world golf here, but there was an evenness about this field that suggested from even before the tournament got underway, albeit briefly on Thursday, that we were in for some sort of contest. Not only did we have the leading Australians, Norman and Elkington aside, but the future of Australian golf was here and many of them now playing at a level well above that of a year ago.
Into the mix came perhaps the next best thing in US and perhaps world golf, Charles Howell. Howell had endeared himself to the Australian golfing media and public with his performances both on and off course at last year's Open at The Grand. For one so young he is one of the most engaging, unaffected golfers in the business and clearly has the future that most have been predicting. Rich Beem, the 2002 USPGA Champion, was here to add further colour and character to the event and that he did. He handles himself well in front of the media and brings humour to often colourless end of round press conferences. That he can also perform on the course goes without saying. Now a three-time winner on the USPGA Tour and a "˜major' champion he was able to adapt quickly to a golf course that most were predicting wouldn't fit his game.
And so to Thursday, the opening round you have when you are not having an opening round. The signs were there from very early on. When I arrived at the press centre at around 8:00am several players were on the course and it was clear from the early scoring that this was not going to be a typical day of golf. On most occasions when presented with benign conditions on the first morning of a tournament, several players would be taking full advantage but with only a couple of players under par in the first two hours there were already signs that this was going to be no ordinary day. As the breeze developed during mid morning the lightning fast greens were becoming increasingly difficult to hit and indeed to putt on. The around midday the group of Bob Shearer, Richard Ball and Mark Allen had reached the third green and when Ball had putted up to the hole only for it (the ball) to return breaking point had been reached and the officials were called in.
After much deliberation an initial decision to syringe the greens was made. Syringing is essentially hand watering in order that key areas of the green can be targeted for treatment. That might have saved the greens but it was never going to save those who had already suffered from the almost unplayable conditions. Further it was going to unfairly favour those who had yet to reach those greens causing the greatest concern and so the only decision that could be made, to abandon play for the day, was. The initial reaction was in support of the decision but the knives were drawn as the search for those responsible for letting the course reach this stage was mounted.
The first reaction from those at the AGU was to blame the drought conditions that had prevailed here in Victoria in recent months. That didn't wash, however, with a media a little more golf savvy than the whitewash would allow. Stuart Appleby, Rich Beem, although restrained in their comments at post round press conferences, made it clear that this was a situation that should never been allowed to happen. Some tried to pursue the line as to how Australian golf would be perceived as a result of this. I'm not sure that matters so much. Of more importance was how the problem would be solved and how the tournament could be finished.
There was much discussion and interrogation as to chain of command that led to the greens having reached that stage. The outcome of all this (and it is still not totally clear) is that it appears that although the AGU were of the understanding that the greens were being watered on Wednesday (tournament eve) and they were not. Whether that was a deliberate decision by those who were physically involved in the act of watering or an oversight may well be one of those questions that forever remains unanswered, at least publicly. Or perhaps it was a case of not being told not to water in the first place.
Once the decision had been made to call play then the next question was how the event could be restructured to accommodate the problems at hand and yet not compromise the event. The first advice was that the tournament would remain a seventy-two hole event and that thirty-six would be played on Sunday. Then a couple of hours later it was announced that it would be a fifty-four hole event. Many blamed television as the driving force behind the decision but it later became apparent that television would have accommodated the revised requirements and that there were other reasons that reduced the event to fifty-four holes.
There is certainly a fine line in the preparation of a course for an event of this calibre, in creating a balance between protecting the integrity of the course and indeed the championship and that of the players. In this case nobody or thing was protected. Around the world golf unions and associations feel the need to protect par. In most cases they get it reasonably close to the mark but there have been examples in recent years of them being over zealous. Carnoustie in 1999 comes to mind and here too they overdid it. Such was the narrow margin for error that by Friday morning after watering and a decision not to cut, the greens were perfect and the scoring reflected such.
Red figures aplenty were evident from early Friday morning and at the end of round one (day two) Charles Howell incredibly impressive young American was the leader by one from Craig Parry, Steve Allan, Rich Beem, and the Queenslander Chris Downes.
Downes has been a professional for two years and had recently missed stage one qualifying at the USPGA Tour School. He is on the improve and may well be one of those type of players who builds platforms each year and develops into a fine player. He qualified for the US Amateur in 2000 and made it through the second round of qualifying. He has had several reasonable finishes in lesser events on the Australasian Tour and now seemed ready to take another step. He is typical of the new breed of player strong and determined.
Steve Allan faces USPGA tour School in two weeks time, having finished 147th on the money list this year. Craig Parry has for long been considered one of the leading chances in the event given his doggedness, his ability on sandbelt courses and of course his very good recent form including his win at the World Golf Championship event and fourth at the Buick. Rich Beem the PGA Champion has gone quiet in recent weeks as he roams the world capitalising on his newfound fame. He is a class act however and once they had watered the greens and made the course more in keeping with those with which he is familiar; he was to become a factor.
By the time round one leader, Charles Howell, had reached the practice putting green prior to the start of his second round he found himself five behind after being one ahead when his head hit the pillow the evening before. That was because both Steve Allan and Rich Beem, who were blessed with early tee times on day two, had built on fine opening rounds with second round 64's to lead at ten under.
Their lead was challenged but never bettered throughout the next six hours as first Adam Scott made a move then Gavin Coles, Parry and Howell. At the end of day two Beem and Allan were to take a one shot lead into the final round over Parry and Howell with Coles one further back but Scott at seven under and Baddeley at six under could not be forgotten either.
Day three of the event, the final day, dawned fine but overcast and the prediction of stronger wins and storms threatened those out later in the day. Those out early however were presented with some of those best conditions of the week. Overcast skies and softish greens would see Jarrod Moseley birdie six of the first seven holes to get to five under for the event at that point. He would be later double bogey the thirteenth to falter. Then Greg Chalmers chimed in with a front nine of 30 and a birdie at the tenth had him at five under for the day and three under for the tournament at that stage. He finished with 65. Scott Laycock, coming off a good year in Japan, was next to make a run and when he finished with 64 he had moved from 40th overnight to 11th. He would know however that those behind had the opportunity to do the same and in the end he was
So the scene was set for a final round of high drama. At 12.40 the rain, which had been threatening all morning, arrived but was hardly enough to even cause a problem. If conditions were to stay, as they were when the leaders hit of then the predictions of a difficult last day were not to be.
Steve Allan made the start he would have been dreaming about all night when he birdied the first after watching his co-leader and playing partner Rich Beem three putt for bogey. Beem then birdied the second but Allan still led.
In the meantime Allenby, playing ahead, was making the move that many predicted. Starting the day at four under he birdied two, three and five, bogied six, then reeled off four consecutive birdies from the ninth until a bogey at the 13th stopped the run. Another bogey at the short but dangerous par four fifteenth effectively ended his challenge and it was now up to Allan to press home the advantage he had created.
Allan followed his opening birdie with a series of pars until the ninth, which with his length (he is one of the longest on the USPGA Tour), he would have been looking to perhaps birdie. That left him still in the lead but only by one from Beem and Parry at that stage. The Victorian's birdies on eleven and twelve were responsible for opening up a two shot lead and when Parry bogied the 13th the lead was three. Allan, in the group behind, also bogeyed the thirteenth and the difference was just two again and with the permutations of the last four holes anything was possible. It was all happening so quickly that it was hard to keep track, even with the advantage of the media centre facilities.
There were many other stories including Queenslander Adam Crawford who himself got to ten under and shared the lead through twelve holes. His challenge faded at the par four fifteenth but what a showing by the unheralded Crawford. Just a week after missing his European card at the final stage of tour school he appears to be making serious progress with his game.
Gavin Coles, further consolidating his higher standing in the game as a result securing his USPGA Tour card, did very well and while he did not finish it off he is a playing at a level we would not have thought of twelve months ago. A year on the Buy.Com Tour has developed his physical and mental game and it will be of much interest to see how he copes with the rigours of the US Tour next year.
Aaron Baddeley too has benefited from a full year on the Buy.Com Tour and his challenge, whilst too little too late, highlights the progress he has made. His last round of 65 created a chance but it was one shy of the mark.
Rich Beem did well given the events of the week and showed that he is a grinder and giver in his game. He never gave up and that he kept Allan honest to the end reflects the quality of the man and the golfer.
Parry too kept niggling away, as is his want, and his performance justifies the faith that many of those who before the event thought he would win.
In the end, however, it was the local 29 year old who played here on special invitation of the AGU. Steven Allan, who was able to hold off all challenges to win and complete his second win as a professional, the previous being in Germany four years ago. With a return to the US Tour School looming this was just the boost of confidence he needed. He heads out this week in an attempt to regain his full status on tour. If he misses out, he will still get twenty or so events next year but ideally he will be looking to get full status. If he does, then look out for a rejuvinated and more competitive Steven Allan in the future.
Allan does not possess an Australasian Tour card and as such, received an invitation to play the event from the AGU and I think they and Allan will be thankful for the gesture.
Despite the dramas of early in the week, the contest that developed on Sunday showed that Thursday was an aberration and that in the final analysis the event was a significant success.

Meet Joe Talley, the Palm Beach Sheriff's Candidate You've Never Heard Of
According to this week's New Times, the best place to spy on cops in Palm Beach County is a website called PBSOTalk.com. It's the rare spot on the interwebs where police officers can gripe about high-profile murder cases and pill-popping lieutenants without fear of losing their jobs.
Founded by former PBSO deputy Mark Dougan, the site has never hid its contempt for Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. But lately, its message boards have been promoting a new candidate for sheriff: Joe Talley.
In Palm Beach, as in Broward, the sheriff has incredible political clout. Bradshaw has not
faced a serious challenger since he was elected eight years ago. It's too soon to tell what chance Talley has to unseat him, but you've got to give the man credit for trying. The Pulp caught up with him after his fundraiser last night at The Cottage in Lake Worth.

"Anywhere that will accept us, we go," Talley says of his venue choice.
He's a grandfatherly guy, tall, with white-blond hair and a gray suit. He speaks softly, bends toward the table to hear better. His campaign supporters said about 35 or 40 people showed up to the fundraiser. But by 9:30 p.m., the event was over. Talley was sitting with his wife and four other supporters waiting for his prime rib and mashed potatoes to arrive.
According to his campaign site, Talley was a police officer in Baltimore for 22 years, working his way up to the rank of major. He also served as a lieutenant in the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office reserve unit until, he says, he grew disillusioned with Bradshaw. 'I was very disappointed with him," Talley says. "He's sort of dictating and intimidating."
He runs through some well-worn complaints about Bradshaw spending tax dollars to take campaign donors to lunch and not allowing the county's inspector general to review the sheriff's office.
Then there's the case of Seth Adams, the unarmed Loxahatchee Groves man who was shot by a PBSO sergeant in the parking lot of his family's property in May. Adams was one of three people sheriff's deputies have shot and killed in the last month. After defending the deputy who shot Adams, saying the officer was in fear for his life, Bradshaw asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to conduct an independent review of the case. Ellie Whittey, Talley's campaign consultant, wondered if the state's investigation could be a fair one, considering that Bradshaw serves on an FDLE commission.
Talley doesn't get too worked up about any of this. He remains quiet, tucking into his dinner. "It's a concern to me that people aren't treated fairly," he says.
According to documents filed with the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, Talley has raised $2,825 for the race, compared to Bradshaw's $230,000 war chest. Two other candidates are in the running: Cleamond Walker of Riviera Beach has raised $545. Kevin Patrick Coleman just entered the race this month, and has not yet filed campaign finance documents.

Jonathan Storm in Beverly Hills
Jonathan Storm | Putting on summer duds
It's enough to make a critic - or anybody else who makes less than $1 million a year - cry. Big-bucks TV programmers are proving themselves to be stupider than the average-Joe viewer. Dumb phony reality shows clutter the airwaves, and, in most cases, nobody's watching.
Jonathan Storm has watched television since he was 5 years old. He would wake up early, turn on the TV and watch the test patterns as he waited for The Modern Farmer to begin. Five years later, he began his news career as editor-in-chief of the mimeographed newspaper in Mr. Merrill's fifth-grade class.
He spent six years as a true journalist at the Rutland Herald (Vt.) and six more at the Detroit Free Press. He joined The Inquirer in 1982, working as an editor in various departments. In 1987, he edited the newspaper's special sections on the Constitution and a companion four-month series. The package won a national award from the Benjamin Franklin Foundation as best special Constitution coverage by a newspaper.
Seeing an opportunity to watch television for a living, he grabbed it and became The Inquirer's television critic in 1990. His reviews appear in the Daily Magazine.

SAG Commercial Contract, TV/Theatrical and New Media
Important Information about The Commercials Contract
Did you know?
You may have noticed the rapidly changing pace of the industry and of technology itself. It seems like every week a commercial breakdown comes out with new terminology in it that makes you question which Screen Actors Guild contract the job falls under. In an effort to clarify some commonly used terms and how they apply to the Commercials Contract, we have chosen two areas of discussion that we, the SAG staff, get questions on every day. We hope you find them useful.
#1 WEBISODES and WEB CONTENT
The term "webisode" is used to describe content that is made for and airs specifically on the Internet. For the framework of this discussion, the terms "webisode" and "web content" will be applied specifically to commercials and ad-related content. A webisode is a one-off commercial for an advertiser or a web series created for a long term campaign. A webisode or web content for an advertiser may or may not feature a product. Ad campaigns with overtly entertainment-based content and no typical commercial message are known as "branded entertainment" or "branded content." With branded content, an advertiser attempts to link its product or service with a wider audience by adding another creative layer to its brand marketing strategy. Sometimes the advertiser will create a microsite–a webpage separate from the advertiser's homepage that may have a different domain name – on which to air the webisode(s), so at first there may appear to be no direct link to the advertiser. Branded content/entertainment is financed by the advertiser. Under the Commercials Contract, a webisode can be anywhere from 15 seconds to 3 minutes in length. Any web content of significant length is evaluated by SAG staff to determine whether it falls under the Commercials Contract or the Industrial & Educational Contract. SAG has had jurisdiction over Internet commercials since 2000.
#2 MOBISODES and NEW MEDIA CONTENT
The term "mobisode" was originally coined to define television episodes that were reformatted for mobile devices/cell phones and for episodic content created specifically for mobile devices/cell phones. This term has expanded to include commercials and/or branded entertainment shown on mobile devices. Under the Commercials Contract, new media is defined as "digital, electronic, or any other type of delivery platform including, but not limited to, commercials delivered to mobile phones and other digital and electronic media. The term new media is intended to be all inclusive of digital, electronic or any other type of delivery platform, whether now known or unknown." Please be aware that for commercials, the term new media does not apply to commercials on the Internet. A commercial that is available for viewing by using the web browser on a BlackBerry would be considered Internet use. A commercial that pops up on a cell phone via a digital network available only from a particular wireless provider (i.e., Verizon) would be considered new media use. SAG has had jurisdiction over new media commercials since 2006.
Questions? Please contact the Commercials Contract Department: Los Angeles (323) 549-6858 / New York (212) 827-1454. Nevada residents may contact Nevada Executive Director Steven Clinton at 702-419-9280 or email@example.com.

For true beginners, we have a couple Walther P22s, a 622 S&W, and a MK II Ruger that get tons of use. A couple of Taurus 94s in .22 compliment the semi autos and are what most people use to fire for the "qualification" for the CCW class. We get a fair amount of foreign tourists and such and they enjoy the 629, the Taurus Raging Bull and the Desert Eagle .44. That DE and a MAC 11 semi auto get a lot of use by another segment of the gun rental market. You know who they are. Some who have been in the military shoot the Beretta 9mm and the 1911. Some security guards and the kids in cop school shoot the 4" .38s. The rest shoot mostly Glocks or the variety of snub revolvers.
Least rented: The Beretta 96 DAO, a super accurate gun if you can manage the trigger pull. Most don't care to try it, I plan on trying to buy it off the boss.

Aurora -- City Council will head into the new year with a full complement of nine members after Council selected a replacement for former Ward 5 Councilman James Fisher on Dec. 20.
Kathi Grandillo of Cross Creek Oval, a current member of the city's planning commission, was chosen for the post out of three candidates interviewed that night, and will serve until the term expires at the end of 2013. She can run for a full four-year term in next November's general election.
The post became vacant after Fisher, who had served as Council president, was elevated to mayor following the November resignation of Lynn McGill, who stepped down for health reasons.
The other candidates considered were Bent Creek Oval resident Daisy Alford-Smith and the Rev. Dr. R. James Tasker of Hawthorne Drive.
In the first round of voting, Grandillo and Alford-Smith received the most votes from the other eight Council reps, then on the second round of voting Grandillo was selected unanimously.
Grandillo must step down from the planning commission. Mayor James Fisher will appoint her successor, with confirmation from Council required.
Grandillo was an unsuccessful candidate for a Council-at-large seat in 2011.
She has participated in the local Relay For Life event for 11 years, including as event co-chairman, and has held various offices and committee positions in the Walden Association.
She currently works for RFI Wireless in Twinsburg and previously worked for Corsillo & Grandillo Court Reporters and Certified Court Reporters in Cleveland.
"PRIOR TO my decision to become involved in the last election for one of the two at-large seats that were available, I carefully considered my motivations and qualifications," she said in her cover letter to the other Council members.
'Organization, experience, dedication and a passionate desire to serve were only a few of the concepts that occupied my thoughts.
"Upon further reflection, I became convinced that any individual willing to make the sacrifices necessary to enter this area would, in varying degrees, possess all of these qualities."
She said the value of her five-plus years of planning commission service "will be incalculable in ramping up for the rigors of Council.
"I am confident that, my contribution, along with that of the current members, will help the city of
Aurora achieve its full potential to continue and grow as a benchmark community."
Grandillo graduated from Lake Catholic High School in Mentor and the Academy of Court Reporting in Cleveland. She also is a member of the Aurora All-Sports Boosters and Aurora Orchestra Association.
Candidate Alford-Smith, a registered nurse, has a vast amount of experience in the public sector, having served as an appointed oficial at the state, county and city levels of government.
In recent months, she served on the city's master plan review commission as vice chairwoman. She has expertise in health and human services, education and nonprofit management.
She and her husband, Kenneth, who owns Hull Remodeling Co., have been residents of Aurora since 2006. A daughter of the couple also lives in Aurora, and five of their grandchildren attend the local schools. The couple also has four other children and a total of 14 grandchildren.
In November, Alford-Smith resigned as chief executive officer of the Girl Scouts of Northeast Ohio after serving for slightly more than five years. She spearheaded the merger of five Girl Scout Councils into one.
FROM 2004-06, she was chief operating officer of the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools and the International Commission on Health Care Professions.
Other posts held include director of the Summit County Department of Job & Family Services, deputy director of the Ohio Department of Human Services, branch manager/administrator for Staff Builders Home Health Care Services, director of the Cleveland Department of Public Health and an assistant professor and director of the Center for Urban & Minority Health for Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine and Nursing.
She has served on dozens of boards and committees, and continues to serve on several others. She has earned degrees and certificates from Montefiore Hospital School of Nursing, Ohio State University, Excelsior College, the University of Akron and Cleveland State University.
Candidate Tasker has lived in Aurora for slightly more than five years, and previously resided in Lakewood. He earned religion-related degrees from Columbia International University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and Fuller Theological Seminary.
He has held ministry positions at churches in Bay Village, Cleveland, Akron, Fremont, Schenectady, N.Y., Boston and Columbia, S.C.
He also was an accounts clerk for The Age Newspaper in Australia and branch/sales manager for Native Marketing and Supply Co. in New Guinea.

CHICAGO -- Danny Briere walked out of the United Center late Sunday night, several more stitches heavier than when he'd arrived.
But while his right eye was swollen during and stitched after the Flyers' 7-4 Game 5 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup final, Briere did declare himself fit for Game 6.
"I feel all right," he said, his eye black and blue, yet still wide open.
Asked if he would play in Game 6, Briere said, "Oh, yeah. Definitely."
Such was his declaration just moments after a more official announcement sounded more dire.
Struck in the third period by the stick of Duncan Keith, Briere retreated to the locker room, bloodied beneath the eye.
"It really ballooned on him, and he is in no position talk to the media," a Flyers spokesman said.
The Flyers did announce that Briere required stitches, but were unclear as to how many.
Though Briere was struck by what appeared to be a high Duncan Keith stick, the Blackhawks were not penalized.
Peter Laviolette was disappointed.
"Yeah, I was," the Flyers' coach said. "It's a penalty, possibly a major."
Had the Flyers been afforded a 5-minute power play at that juncture, who knows what could have happened. The Flyers were only down 5-3 at the time and there was still a half period to play.
L l l
Not a day has gone by in these Finals where the questions in the Blackhawks locker room have centered around Chris Pronger this and Chris Pronger that.
Pronger has been the cause celebrity, whether it's been his verbal jabs at Ben Eager, his physical jabs at Dustin Byfuglien, or his sheer blanketing of Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, who have two goals between them in five games.
But, with all the attention being afforded to the Flyers big ticket on the blue line, the forgotten man has been Kimmo Timonen.
Considering it was just two seasons ago that he was the top rearguard on a Flyers team that reached the Eastern Conference Final, that's hard to believe.
But, Pronger casts a very large shadow, both on and off the ice.
It has helped Timonen as he garners less attention in opposition game-planning. Pronger has also become such a larger-than-life spokesman for the Flyers that Timonen hasn't had to be as much of a public speaker in the locker room or in public, again a weight lifted off his shoulders.
With more time to simply concentrate on his job as the second-best defenseman on his team although he would still be No. 1 in a lot of other places, Timonen has been sensational - especially in the Finals.
"Kimmo has been excellent all year," coach Peter Laviolette said. "I've stated numerous times back in Philly that he plays the game every bit as good as Chris Pronger. Defensively he's always in position. I think there's a different physical element when it comes to Chris's game as opposed to Kimmo's. But Kimmo is a good first pass, always in position, can play against anybody's best players on any given night and be successful."
And with Pronger having a terrible game, Timonen needed to be the best Flyers' defenseman and he was.
He scored his goal of the postseason, picked up his 10th assist and in a game in which the Flyers allowed seven goals, he was a plus-2.
Now a plus-6 in the postseason, considering he is frequently on the ice against some of the top lines on the other team, to be a plus through 22 playoff games is mighty impressive.
Not only that, he is playing nearly as many minutes as Pronger in the Stanley Cup Finals.
But he wasn't happy with his team's performance, no matter how well he played.
"That's not us," he said. "That might be one of those things with us not being here before, and the situation of if we'd won today we go back home. ... We have to learn from it. It wasn't us today and now we have to move on.
We're going to need to look at the tape and see what we did wrong and what we can do better. I'm sure there's a lot of things in the first period we can do a lot better."
L l l
Pronger is the scoring leader among defensemen in the 2010 playoffs with 17 points (four goals, 13 assists). He is one point from tying the Flyers' playoff record for a defenseman set by Doug Crossman in 1987 (4-14--18 in 26 games).
Meanwhile, Briere ranks first on the Flyers and second in the League in playoff
scoring with 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists). He already has collected nine points (2-7-9) in the Finals. Briere is one point from tying the franchise record for postseason scoring set by Brian Propp in 1987 (12-16--28).

After a day of successful testing at Jerez with Franco Battaini and Vittoriano Guareschi on the GP12, official word has come down from Ducati Corse high command that Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden will swing a leg over the new 1,000cc machine tomorrow and Saturday, respectively. Valentino Rossi has presumably already made the trek back to Spain this evening, and will test the Ducati Desmosedici GP12 tomorrow, while Nicky Hayden will return his press junkets from Germany, and have his turn on the GP12 this Saturday.
Valentino Rossi Will Test the Ducati Desmosedici GP12 Tomorrow – Nicky Hayden Will Test on Saturday
For the 2012 season, MotoGP will be reverting back to its 1,000cc format (actually, it used to be 990cc, but what's ten cubic centimeters among friends?). While many MotoGP fans have been awaiting the day that the "big bikes" would return to premier racing with their powersliding, rider chewing, wheelie popping ways, it's hard to get excited when the first two races of the last 800cc season have been so eventful. Nevertheless the die has been cast, and this week should be begin our first glimpse into these two-wheeled monsters.

Time: Air-dry vs. Diffusing
How much time do you slice off by diffusing instead of air-drying? Just curious :)
About 4 1/2 hours, and my hair is only chin length.
Not much, and it gives me a lot of frizz. With air drying, my hair is only slightly damp (invisibly so) within half an hour after getting to work and within an hour it's totally dry. So that's about 1.5-1.75 hrs total drying time.
I let my hair air for for 1/2 hour to set curls while I eat my b-fast then I diffuse under 10 minutes. If I air dry only it could take 2 hours or more even with shoulder length thin hair.
It takes absolutely no extra time out of me for my hair to airdry. I let it airdry while I'm doing other things. I would actually have to devote more time if I diffused/blow dry.
it saves me about 3 hours. i <3 my diffuser
Toooooo many hours to count!!
I would have to be on a beach in Florida in order for my hair to dry. :shock: It will be wet underneath and at the roots if I don't diffuse. And OMG I cannot stand the feeling of wet hair!
I wash my hair at night and sleep on it, but I don't mind having wet hair. It really saves a lot of time, and is great for people who hate diffusing (diffusing makes my hair frizzy, even when I pixie curl). When I wake up, my hair is dry and ready to go!
OMG I save FOREVER by diffusing. I've only been CG for like 2 weeks now, and this was my first weekend where I could actually play hair scientist and have the time to air dry. Today, I plopped for about 20 minutes, and air dried for 3 HOURS! It's still not compleyely dry but it's dry enough to gel down some frizzies. With my diffusing in the morning before work, I plop for 10- diffuse for about 20 minutes until 50-60% dry, and then air dry the rest of the way- which is about an hour.
BTW- Can I say that I LOVE weekends- I can try so many things with my hair!!! :cheers:
Today I learned how to clip, and I feel ah-some!!

You Could Look It Up
No Hitters Ain't That Special, Part Two
Continuing our look at no-hitters by decade. We're working off the thesis (like you would work off a case of Devil Dogs hastily consumed after breaking up with your girlfriend just before the prom) that the recent gap between no-hitters, interrupted by Florida's Anibal "Lee" Sanchez is not historically significant, and that no-hitters are random events triggered as much by good defense and a few lucky bounces as the skill of the pitcher involved. For a fuller explanation, see last week's YCLIU.
1940-1950 (12)
Most obscure pitcher to throw a no-hitter during the decade: Edward Marvin Head-"Ed Head." A career Dodger, the swingman no-hit the Boston Braves on April 23, 1946. As with several other pitchers of no-hitters, he was in his last major league season. The Louisiana native was 28 years old when he gave his right arm for baseball.
Bill McCahan of the A's, who no-hit the Washington Senators on September 3, 1947, is another good choice. From 1947 to 1949 the A's had a last gasp revival. After posting annual .350 winning percentages and generally finishing last in an eight-team league every year from 1934 on (in 13 seasons they lost 100 or more games four times and 90 or more games seven times), they had three years of winning records before collapsing again and moving to Kansas City. Mack had come up with good hitters like Sam Chapman, Ferris Fain, Elmer Valo, Nellie Fox (thrown away in a trade for catcher Joe Tipton) and Eddie Joost. Pitching, however, was a bridge too far, so competing for the pennant remained a concept. McCahan's entry into the big leagues was delayed by World War II. He had a decent rookie year in 1947, posting a 3.33 ERA in a 3.70 league, albeit with a strikeout/walk ratio of .76, even worse than the league average of .98.
It will seem incongruous given that McCahan was only 5'11", but he made his off-season money by playing basketball. The A's didn't like that idea, so McCahan tried moving oil drums instead. That proved to be harder on his arm than dribbling, with the result that McCahan pitched only 57 big league games.
1951-1960 (20)
One of the best stories associated with any no-hitter concerns Reynolds' second, an 8-0 gem over the Red Sox in the first game of a September 28, 1951 doubleheader. With 26 outs in the book, Reynolds' had to retire Ted Williams to finish the game. Williams took a strike, then swung at the next pitch and hit a high, high popup behind the plate. Yankees catcher Yogi Berra went back, lined it up� and at the last second the wind pushed the ball just a bit to one side. Reynolds raced in as Berra began to stagger. As he fell, the ball hit the edge of his mitt and dropped to the ground. Reynolds was close enough to run over the prone Berra's hand but had no play on the ball.
Berra's wife Carmen was in the hospital about to give birth. Nurses heard a scream from her room. Rushing in, they found her listening to the game on the radio. "It's my husband," she said. "He dropped the ball."
Everyone resumed their places. Williams was actually angry, embarrassed to be put in the position of having to try to spoil the no-hitter again. He told Berra he would have to try even harder than before. Reynolds pitched, Williams swung: another pop-up behind the plate. Seemingly the entire team converged around it but this time Berra had it. Game over. After, Yankees co-owner Del Webb had the line of the day. "Yogi," he said, "when I die I hope they give me a second chance the way they did you."
There weren't too many mediocrities throwing no-hitters in the 1950s. Bob Feller had his last and Jim Bunning his first. Hoyt Wilhelm, Warren Spahn, and Mel Parnell did the deed. You would take those guys on your team--though Parnell pitched his in 1956, his last year in the majors after many seasons of being overworked by the Red Sox (Parnell is not much remembered today, but his 1949 was one of the best seasons by any pitcher of all time anywhere, with nearly 300 innings of a 2.78 ERA in a league in which the average pitcher was at 4.20. Adjust that for park and it gets even better).
Alva Lee "Bobo" Holloman is the joker in the deck. A 28-year-old rookie in 1953, he had the misfortune of coming up with a terrible (54-100) Browns team after being stuck in the Cubs system since the time of Cap Anson. Holloman started in the bullpen, but despite having some pitchers who had or would be successful (Don Larsen, Duane Pillette, Harry Brecheen, Satchel Paige, Virgil Trucks, Bob Turley, Max Lanier), the Browns had nothing better to do and gave Holloman a start on May 6, 1953. The rest was history. Holloman even drove in three runs in the game. The Browns cut him before the season was over.
1961-1970 (33)
However, as batting averages declined, a number of obscurities got into the no-hit biz as well. Don Nottebart of the Astros (then the Colt .45s, America's concealed handgun team) shut down a pretty good Phillies lineup (Tony Taylor, Johnny Callison, Tony Gonzalez, and Wes Covington were the first four hitters in the order) on May 17, 1963. Nottebart, whose name can be rearranged to spell "Bent nob tarot," was basically a career reliever and swingman who logged some starting rotation time with a Houston club fresh off of a rigged expansion draft. Nottebart had one of the few no-hitters which aren't shutouts. In the fifth inning, Phillies first baseman reached second on an error by shortstop J.C. Hartman. Catcher Clay Dalrymple bunted him to third, and third baseman Don Hoak hit a sacrifice fly to drive him in. That tied the game at 1-1. The 45s didn't go ahead until the seventh.
Dave Morehead of the Red Sox reached the majors at 20 in 1963, a particularly low time for the franchise. The Sox hadn't been interesting since the early 1950s and wouldn't be again until 1967. Morehead threw a lot of pitches at a young age, striking out a lot of batters and walking almost as many. From 20 through age 22 he threw 535 innings, walking 324 and walking 438. The inevitable arm difficulties set in in 1966. It was still party time on September 16, 1965 when Morehead no-hit a decent Cleveland Indians lineup (Rocky Colavito and Leon Wagner were the big bats). He beat future Red Sox ace Luis Tiant in that contest. Morehead's own future was to be an expansion Kansas City Royal and end his big league career at age 27.
Finally, Ray Washburn of the Cardinals no-hit the Giants 2-0 at Candlestick Park on September 18, 1968. Washburn was an interesting 24-year-old rookie in 1962, but in 1963 he tore up his shoulder and didn't pitch well for a few years. He was very good for the pennant-winning 1968 Cards, putting up a 2.26 ERA in 215 innings. In his no-hitter, a Giants lineup that included Bobby Bonds, Ron Hunt, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, and Jim Ray Hart hit just two balls out of the infield. Shortstop Hal Lanier and McCovey were the slugging out-makers that da--assuredly the only time you will see the word "slugging" applied to Hal Lanier.
Washburn won Game Three of that year's World Series against the Detroit Tigers without pitching particularly well (three runs in 5.1 innings), but was hammered in Game Six. Already down 2-0 as the Tigers came to bat in the top of the third, Washburn allowed the first three batters to reach and was relieved. The Tigers went on to score ten runs in the inning.
Back with a third and final edition of no-hit trivia next time out.
