Everything looks so festive around your house and I, too love to decorate with fresh greens.
Everything looks beautiful, I finished my Christmas decor yesterday it feels good to be done.ReplyDelete
I like to make sure everything is clean and fresh, I leave out the fall decor until after Thanksgiving.ReplyDelete
I love to use candles, stars, angels, mason jars both clear and in blue... plus some fresh greenery here and there. Then of course the white twinkle lights are a must.! And then reading my certain favorite blogs and pinterest to really get my dreamy ideas.....So many inspirational points!ReplyDelete
we also like to give the front door a new coat of paint as well fresh boxwood garland and wreaths!ReplyDelete
I love making different vignettes. Every year is different.ReplyDelete
I like to keep things simple, and I use what I have from the garden and stored decor to create a festive atmosphere!ReplyDelete
The holidays start with Thanksgiving so we get the house decorated and start preparing our menu early. We like to visit when the family arrives. Then at Christmas we join our children because they like to be in their "space"ReplyDelete
My husband and I are moving to a new home in three days! I will use fresh greens this Christmas inside and out. I can't wait to dress up the mantle. I've never had a real fireplace to decorate before. It'll be fun to do!!ReplyDelete
I like to play Christmas music, have coffee brewing or hot cocoa simmering, and a lovely seasonal scented candle burning while I work to decorate for Christmas.ReplyDelete
Candles, angels, white twinkly lights, fresh greenery, glassware in clears and blues, Christmas music, little romantic touches of the quietness of the season...and a good clean house.
I keep things simple for the holidays ---- garlands, candles, snowmen, white stars!ReplyDelete
I have to clean before I can decorate and I have to take down all the Thanksgiving decorations down before I can start on Christmas. Thank you for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
My husband has this little santa that lights up. It's probably almost as old as he is. No matter what else we have done to decorate the house for the holidays, it really isn't Christmas ready until we bring out that little vintage piece.ReplyDelete
I simply love the deer wreath holder. How adorable!! But I have to admit I dislike dear intensely. Oh No! Please don't berate me. They are stripping all of our vegetation from our beautiful yard. But as statues and figurines I really like them.ReplyDelete
I put out the decorations I have made over the years along with any new ones I see. I love having my home feel inviting and warm.
I clean house and then put up a tree in every room. I love Christmas - such a wonderful time for faith, family and friends!!ReplyDelete
I like to clean and rearrange the furniture to make more room for guests and a place for kids.

My home has been ready for Christmas for nearly two weeks now. Christmas tree is up, stockings are hung, gifts are wrapped and under the tree, menus are planned with the grocery list done for Christmas eve and Christmas day meals. I picked up all the large Poinsettias on Sunday afternoon and they are in strategic locations throughout the house. The front doorway is decorated with wreath and fresh garland and the Christmas flag is flying high. I bake a few days before Christmas to really get in the spirit. My twin sons' birthday is December 28 so I have a lot going on at this time of year in addition to my work as a healthcare consultant. I have to be super-organized to get everything done so I start early! Makes my life easier.ReplyDelete
Your home looks ready for your company! Everything is so pretty! I am slowly putting fall away and getting out those Christmas/Winter decorations. I'm trying hard this year to not buy many new things. I have a LARGE collection and am doing a bit of 'repurposing.' I'll try to post these projects when I get them done. Hoping you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!ReplyDelete
Getting ready for the holidays means getting out an old rugged cloth football which is the only toy from my husband's childhood. It holds a place of honor in my decorating.ReplyDelete
I agree with all the other girls here, Courtney! CLEAN! First and foremost! Then...I'll haul out all the pretty decor. It kind of feels like I'm starting with a "clean" slate and from scratch if the house is clean first. :) I did spent all day long in my attic organizing 30 years worth of Christmas decor today. lol I have a huge pile going to Goodwill and the rest is neatly organized in big totes - and labeled! How about that??! lol Love that feeling!
xoxo laurie
THE FIRST THIING WE DO IS WAIT UNTIL AFTER THANKSGIVING THEN WE PUT UP THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS… BEFORE WE MOVED TO OKLAHOMA WE WENT AND CUT OUR TREE AND ANY GREENERY NEEDED…NEXT CLEAN AND DECORATE INSIDE BY PUTTING UP THE TREE, LIGHTS ON MY ANTIQUE LADDER AND OTHER PLACES, ETC.

I start with the front door and work my way inside. This year I want the house to look especially festive for my 2 1/2 year old grandson and his tiny sister! :-)ReplyDelete
To get my home ready I do a deep clean as well. Then I bring in the greenery. The smell of evergreen always gets me in the holiday spirit!ReplyDelete
Your home looks very festive. Lots of cleaning and decorating and cooking going on here also. Fresh greens are rare around these parts only white pine can be found but our local Lowes always has greenery , which is cuts from the fresh trees that I use decorate my home. The day after Thanksgiving I will get our fresh tree and deck the halls! Thanks so much for a chance to win at one of my favorite places.ReplyDelete
I buy a real Christmas tree - from there everything just follows! The scent of pine leaves puts everyone in the Holiday spirit :)ReplyDelete
Clean first, then after Thanksgiving I get all Christmas decor to decorate almost all rooms. Favorite time of year!!!ReplyDelete
Clean first, then after Thanksgiving I get out Christmas decor and decorate almost all of the house. Favorite time of year!!!!!ReplyDelete
It is always exciting to pull out the Christmas boxes as i always forget some of the new things that I bought the year before, and I love mixing them with the "old" ornaments and decor from years past. This year we're in a new home so it will be a challenge to find places for the trees and all the other pretties :)ReplyDelete
I have my teenage son carry in the 12 blue bins and start to empty them and then fill them with whatever I take from our home. We have a 115 year old home in northern Michigan ,and I love to use all my vintage/antique/hand-me-down decorations to make it beautiful. But I always have a need for help from Lowe's! Whether it's lumber or screws or drill bits or light bulbs, I love going there. Thanks for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
I like to decorate my mantel first while listening to Christmas Carols, I lay a bed or fresh evergreens then add white lights and my nutcrackers. I hang a wreath on the door then start on the Christmas tree.ReplyDelete
Everything is so pretty, Courtney. I'm wondering if the garland from Lowes is already made or if you assembled it from pieces. It is gorgeous!
Yes- the garland is from Lowes~ it's a 20 ft garland and is a mixed variety of greens. I also added a few pieces of ligustrum and holly to tie in with some of the other decor on the front porch area. Love it.Delete
This year I did some outside painting.ReplyDelete
I get ready buy reading blogs and scanning Pinterest. 😊ReplyDelete
I've been painting a room and the banister. I want those nagging projects done before I start to decorate for the holiday. Thanks for having a giveaway, Courtney. I can't wait to see your makeovers.ReplyDelete
I take all the decor off the mantel and tabletops and create a winter wonderland inside with white lights, greenery, pinecones, glass and flocked decor - starting the day after Thanksgiving!ReplyDelete
I obsess about all of the work and my 5 tons of decorations! It doesn't help me to get ready, but I do it every year so I guess you could say it's a tradition of mine.ReplyDelete
I do the top to bottom left to right cleaning from baseboards to chandeliers. We're painting door frames this year - a project that I confess should have been done a very long time ago. Also, for some reason I like to clean the windows at this time too. Thanks for hosting this giveaway! Have a blessed Thanksgiving, KathyReplyDelete
What don't I do? Decorate trees - fresh and artificial for most rooms; and search for every possible nook, table, mantle that could also stand some holiday spirit. I started a week ago and I'm still working on it. I bought a wreathe today at Lowe's. I could use the gift card for the fresh tree I want this week-end. Your home is beautiful.ReplyDelete
We have shampooed the carpet and going to refinish our kitchen hardwood floors! Love how you have decorated so far!ReplyDelete
My husband put up light outside and I break the boxes of indoor decorations!ReplyDelete
I have been planning in my head and on paper... the day after Thanksgiving , we put up the trees and the outside lights. I can hardly wait! I did my first tree today... one in a chapel locally . Always my first tree to do of the season.
I can hardly wait for the reveal of your decor.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Lots to do to get the house ready for the holidays. This year I painted the living room because I just could not take another year with my XMas tree in that room the color that it was. But I still need to paint the dining room. I'll be cleaning the whole house of course and putting up trees in the living room, dining room and maybe the bedrooms too...oh...kitchen too. I've had a kitchen faucet for almost a year now waiting for me to install in the kitchen. I really need to do that. So many things to do...This time of year I'm always mad at myself for not getting it all done in the summer.ReplyDelete
Purge. Clean. Paint. Winterized the houseReplyDelete
I have a notebook that I put ideas and areas I want to decorate in. It has really helped. I also use Pinterest to pin all my ideas.
Clean everything, purge, and put away all other decor........then decorate with collected memories......then bake every day.....the whole house smells so good from that and all the candles!!!ReplyDelete
I make sure that there is one nativity scene per room to remember why we celebrate Christmas.ReplyDelete
I make sure that there is a nativity scene in each room to remember why we celebrate Christmas.ReplyDelete
I pull out all the balsam candles and Christmas music, haul the boxes down from the attic and immerse myself in the process while enjoying the smell and sound of Christmas.ReplyDelete
I must start with a good house cleaning and a general sweep through of the house getting rid of things I don't really need anymore. The day after Thanksgiving I start with a fresh wreath on the front door taking down all of the fall décor on the porch area. I fill lanterns inside and outside the house with fresh cranberries and greenery, wreaths with twinkling white lights, window candles, then the boxes of decorations are opened and the Christmas tree is decorated with both old and new items. After all of the decorating, the baking begins!! Blessings to all!ReplyDelete
Lots of Christmas lights, and all the candles come out!ReplyDelete

First I clean and do a little painting, just to freshen things up. Then I start to decorate!ReplyDelete
I clean and decorate and cook. And apparently I am going to lowes to get fresh garland for my front door;)ReplyDelete
I'm so excited this year about decorating and seeing everyone else's decor and ideas! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.ReplyDelete
Your front door looks very welcoming for the holiday season, Courtney! Love the reindeer wreath hanger. I get ready first off by putting some Christmas music on. I'll be doing that Friday before I even crack open the first bin and get started on my decorating.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I take out all my decorations and start decorating before Thanksgiving! We either are going to Disney World or my older kids are coming to visit and I want them to see the house all ready for Christmas. They love that I go all out for it! My favorite holiday!ReplyDelete

I love natural decorations like greenery and pine cones. This year I hope to make most of my decorations homemade with the children!ReplyDelete
I love getting the home ready for the holidays! I am putting garlands and lights on everything! I love the flocked look of the evergreens so I have been experimenting with that this year. Lots of fun things to do it has had me in a good mood! Oh, and already lots of baking and good smells!
It's Christmas for me when the crèches come out of their storage containers. This year we're renovating so we might not have a tree but the holy family will be on display someplace in the house. Jo @ Let's Face the MusicReplyDelete
I get my home ready for holiday decorating by "clearing the decks". Empty tables and shelves make it easy to get everything decorated fast.ReplyDelete
I always clean and rearrange furniture to get ready!ReplyDelete
rearrange the furniture, get out the Christmas tree and wonder where in the world I'm going to put all these decorations at!ReplyDelete
Fresh cedar garlands, decorating the tree with our little ones, and a thankful heart-xoReplyDelete
Oh gosh, that wreath hanger is adorable! I will be keeping an eye out for one at Lowes for sure! The wreath is so nice too. I'm sure it must smell divine...
It's not actually Christmas time at my house until the first batch of peanut brittle is made! I love your flocked tree in mercury glass.ReplyDelete
We give everything a good cleaning and decorate the tree and add lights on the outside of the house!ReplyDelete
I shop at Lowes...no seriously! I picked up 7 fresh garlands to decorate my house which will be on the Butte Symphony Holiday Home Tour. I love Lowes because they have a military discount, too!ReplyDelete

Veterans hail John Morse in new "no" on recall ad
A new ad opposing the recall of Senate President John Morse over gun control legislation features an Army veteran talking about the Colorado Springs Democrat's support for the military.
"I am proud to stand up for John Morse because he stood up for veterans and he stood up for our community," says Holly Flores, who served 8.5 years in the military and whose husband is an Iraq War veteran.
The ad, from VoteVets Action Fund, began running today on broadcast TV and will air for eight days. VoteVets is registered as a nonpartisan group, but it has been linked to Democratic candidates and progressive causes.
Separate recall elections for Morse and fellow Democratic Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo on Sept. 10 have been a bonus for TV stations in that market, which normally sees little political advertising in the off years.
In Morse's El Paso County Senate District, voters will be asked whether he should be recalled and who should relace him. So far, only one candidate, Republican Bernie Herpin, is on the ballot.
Last week, the Colorado Springs Police Protective Association endorsed Herpin and urged voters to recall Morse, although he is a a former police chief in Fountain.

Nashville, TN --- IBMA Album of the Year winner, Balsam Range, returns with the band's appropriately-titled fifth album. Five is set for release on June 17th. Five exemplifies Balsam Range as one of the most remarkable bands in Acoustic music. If the goal was to elevate the level of songs, performance, production value, and excitement, then Five surely marks the successful achievement of that goal.

Mountain Home Recording artists founded in 2007, Balsam Range is five friends with unique experiences and backgrounds blending together effortlessly to form their distinctive sound. Since bursting onto the scene, Balsam Range has made a definite mark in the Bluegrass and Acoustic music world.
The band's 2010 release Trains I Missed brought in a #1 hit and Bluegrass Song of the Year award for its title track. Papertown (2012) built on that momentum with five consecutive months as the #1 album on Bluegrass radio, and won the 2013 IBMA Album of the Year award.
In the wake of Papertown's success, expectations have been high.
"Papertown was received so well that we were a little anxious about what we could do next," said Tim Surrett, vocalist and bass player for the band. "How do we follow an Album of the Year? We finally just went in there and made the best record we could and had some fun."
original Gospel a cappella song, a driving instrumental, and even a John Denver classic. The group draws from diverse influences and original sources while giving each track the Balsam Range treatment.
The band has also just announced its revamped fan benefit site, www.balsamnation.com which offers free music, discounts and exclusive merchandise to its growing population of dedicated fans. Information on Balsam Nation is available through the band web site. Additionally, Balsam Range has posted a fun video on the making of the tune, "Moon Over Memphis" (see below)

What's your take…..
Frito Lay pulled a proposed Super Bowl ad because it mocks the Catholic church. The ad features a priest who needs to find ways to make more money for his church and he gets a sign — a crunch and a soda pop opening — while praying. The next scene the priest is handing out Doritos and Pepsi during communion.
Are you offended by this? The ad has been pulled from the Frito Lay site, but here is Fox News' Megyn Kelly hosting a debate and if you scroll down you can view part of the ad.
My question to all of you is: Would an ad be made making fun of the Koran or Muslims? So why mock the holiest part of the Catholic Mass?

Warner Bros. Pictures has released today, through the film's Facebook page, a brand-new still from their upcoming The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Check it out below!
Meanwhile, the first trailer for the Peter Jackson film will play in theaters with The Adventures of Tintin starting this Wednesday, December 21st. The trailer will hit the web on Tuesday at 7pm Pacific Time.
Coming to 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on December 14, 2012, "The Hobbit" films follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever… Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
The second film, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, hits theaters on December 13, 2013.

David of Seattle necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 160 diseños de 44 diseñadores freelance.
Fennec Consulting
I am a Marketing/Management/Operations professional hybrid with 20 years of experience in Japan and the US starting up businesses and making them customer-centric. Beyond the lip-service in Marketing and the standard 30 day guarantee, I drive clients to look at every part of their business - manufacturing, research, marketing, legal, operations, etc. and tear it apart in order to build it up again with a customer-centric culture that drives every decision in the org to focus on the benefit of the customer. Having worked for some of the most customer-focused companies in the world and creating successful businesses for them in the most demaning customer market in the world (Japan) , I can help any company think through the full complement of what it means to not just say "Customer First" but to create the culture that every employee lives every day that in turn creates greater employee satisfaction too.
"Fennec" is a breed of Fox native to Africa, known for its large ears. My biggest strength is in my ability to listen and observe what is going on in a clients' company and then to piece together what may seem to be a complex set of unconnected habits, policies and practices and boil them down into a simple set of principals and action items that help them clarify their objectives and streamline the complexity that weighs down their ability to change for the customers' benefit.
Principal focus is on consumer product/service companies that need help with Marketing, Business Strategy and Operational processes with the intention of improving their perception among their customers, improving loyalty and improving employee morale and loyalty. Companies with direct sales models (i.e. E-Commerce/Catalog), CRM/Loyalty programs or those looking to build programs like these are preferred, but any company with fractured branding and marketing efforts is welcome!
Target level within target companies are at the executive level: Marketing, Operations, Finance or the President/CEO in smaller firms.
My promise to my clients will be simplicity. My logo and communication materials need to be that way as well and reflect only two things:
1. I am listening to you
2. This will make your life easier
Everyone wants something to make them look smart, and I am no different, but do not want something that might imply I am trying to be too clever (i.e. no "ears" in the logo please!). There is an element of humility in the practice of listening.
Finally, want something that will have a color scheme to allow for documents and web properties to retain a very clean look and easy to apply across many types of media. It might work better to almost think of it as an icon rather than a logo?
But outside of these requirements, I am open to inspired "Eureka" moments as well :-)
1. Make sure the icon is aligned on the left of the company name. (Putting it on top makes the logo less portable to different types of media)
2. We are dropping the word "Consulting" and using the word "Fennec" only
3. Look at variations on the font so that they imply "professionalism" and "people"
4. Want to avoid looking too technical (i.e. no "gear" shapes or computer elements).
5. Look at some warmer color variations without losing the "professional" image. But do keep the company name in DARK color to ensure quality printing and rendering online and offline.
6. Preference will be given to those who have already submitted entries before this update and can follow the brief while adding their own creative touch.
ALSO: If you are comfortable in doing so, feel free to explain your idea in a few short sentences so I know what you are thinking. English OR Japanese is OK.
THANK YOU for the great effort so far!

One of the things I like about devops is that it takes on important but neglected problems in the full lifecycle of a system: making sure that the software is really ready to go into production, getting it into production, and keeping it running in production.
Most of what you read and hear about devops is in online startups – about getting to market faster and building tight feedback loops with Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment.
But devops is even more important in keeping systems running – in maintenance and sustaining engineering and support. Project teams working on the next new new thing can gloss over the details of how the software will actually run in production, how it will be deployed and how it should be hardened. If they miss something the problems won't show up until the system starts to get used by real customers for real business under real load – which can be months after the system is launched, by which time the system might already be handed over to a sustaining engineering team to keep things turning.
This is when priorities change. The system always has to work. You can't ignore production – you're dragged down into the mucky details of what it takes to keep a system running. The reality is that you can't maintain a system effectively without understanding operational issues and without understanding and working with the people who operate and support the system and its infrastructure.Developers on maintenance teams and Ops are both measured on
- System reliability and availability
- Cycle time / turnaround on changes and fixes
- System operations costs
- Security and compliance
- Version control and configuration management to track everything that you need to build and test and deploy and run the system
- Fast and simple and repeatable build and deployment to make changes safe and cheap
- Monitoring and alerting and logging to make support and troubleshooting more effective
- Developers and operations working together to investigate and solve problems and to understand and learn together in blameless postmortems, building and sharing a culture of trust and transparency
Devops isn't just for online startups
Devops describes the reality that maintenance and sustaining engineering teams would be if they could be working in. An alternative to late nights trying to get another software release out and hoping that this one will work; and to fire fighting in the dark; and to ass covering and finger pointing; and to filling out ops tickets and other bullshit paperwork. A reason to get up in the morning.
The dirty secret is that as developers most of us will spend most of our careers maintaining software so more of us should learn more about devops and start living it.

David Wheater's first goal in 18 months rescued a Coca-Cola Championship point for Middlesbrough against Ipswich at Portman Road.
The big defender headed home in the second half to find the net for the first time since the opening day of last season.
An even longer goal drought had been ended in the first minute of the game when Daryl Murphy marked his Ipswich debut with a goal after just 23 seconds.
Roy Keane raided his former club Sunderland to sign Murphy and David Healy on transfer deadline day and it paid dividends immediately.
Healy crossed from the right side and Murphy sent a shot into the bottom corner from 12 yards. It was the first time he had been on the scoresheet since scoring for the Black Cats in a 2-0 Premier League win over Wigan on February 9, 2008.
Healy and Murphy were two of four changes made by Keane. Elsewhere, defender David Wright and midfielder Jonathan Walters were restored to the starting line-up.
Boro boss Gordon Strachan also made four changes. Lee Miller and Kyle Naughton went straight into the side while fellow transfer-window arrival Stephen McManus made his debut and Andrew Taylor was recalled.
The sale of 12-goal winger Adam Johnson to Manchester City coupled with several players absent through injury and suspension saw Strachan start the game with three centre-halves and three full-backs.
It was immediately evident that players were playing out of position by the start they made to the game.
But Boro regrouped after conceding the early goal, although they posed little in the way of an attacking threat in the first half.
Chris Killen got an acrobatic effort on target on the half-hour mark but it was a routine save for Arran Lee-Barrett.
Healy and Murphy continued to look lively and had several shots blocked by Boro defenders before the visitors came into the game after the break.
Miller fired over the crossbar five minutes into the second half and Killen forced a fine save from Lee-Barrett when his shot inside the area was tipped around a post.
Boro's pressure paid off after 62 minutes when Wheater headed home Gary O'Neil's left-wing cross.
Ipswich had a chance to retake the lead with 12 minutes remaining when Gareth McAuley headed Grant Leadbitter's corner over the crossbar.

United States Federal Law does everything in its power in order to combat the continuing growth of criminal organizations. One of the countermeasures initiated in 1970, is an Act relating to the control of organized crime in the United States, also known as RICO (OCCA).
RICO stands for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. This term applies to a Federal Law, designed to combat organized groups running illegal business (i.e. racketeering), which may include the importation and sale of illegal drugs, gambling, money laundering, prostitution rings, bribery, drug trafficking, slavery, or any act involving murder, kidnapping, arson, robbery, extortion, dealing with obscene matter, terrorism, bankruptcy or security fraud, helping aliens to enter illegally the country, dealing with controlled substance, etc. Continue reading

PUTUMATALAN, Sri Lanka -- Sri Lankan soldiers are killing children as young as 11 years old conscripted by the Tamil Tigers in their last stand, a military commander said.
"It's very difficult to shoot a child. But it does not matter what age, you have to shoot," said Jaggath Dias, a general officer commanding the 57th Division.
The Tamil militants take boys and girls from their parents and then shoot the parents if they try to interfere, Dias alleged.
Between 50,000 and 100,000 civilians are believed trapped between the military and the militant Tigers of Tamil Elaam in a strip of land at Putumatalan Lagoon, the edge of the no-fire zone, The Daily Telegraph, of Britain reported Monday.
The armed children allegedly are pushed to the front line and given cyanide capsules with which to commit suicide rather than surrender to Sri Lankan troops, the Telegraph reported.

DARTMOUTH, Mass., July 2 (UPI) -- Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been a model inmate since his incarceration in a Massachusetts jail, officials said.
Hernandez, 23, has been charged with the June 17 murder of Odin Lloyd, 27, a longtime friend, whose body was dumped in an industrial park in North Attleborough, Mass.
Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said Hernandez was moved Monday from a medical unit at the county jail to a unit where he can see other inmates, but only through the window of his cell, The (Fall River) Herald News reported. Inmates in the unit are allowed out for recreation one at a time.
Officials will review Hernandez' status in a week. Hodgson said Hernandez has behaved well in jail.
"It's a big shift in lifestyle, going from a 7,100-square-foot home to a 7-by-10-foot cell," Hodgson told the Boston Herald. "This is a guy who is used to walking into a stadium and having thousands of people cheering his name. Now, he's just another number, in another uniform. We want to make sure we're paying attention to that."
Corrections officers at the jail have examined and photographed Hernandez's tattoos to determine whether he has gang ties, the Herald said. Hodgson said Hernandez denies gang membership.
Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter has asked for the public's help in locating a piece of evidence -- the side mirror of a 2013 Nissan Altima. In a news release, Sutter said the mirror might be in a wooded area between Fayston Street in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, where Lloyd lived, to Ronald C. Meyer Drive in North Attleborough where Hernandez lives.
Hernandez is scheduled to appear in court July 24 for a probable cause hearing.

I got Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business on GoG.com a while back, as it was on sale and I heard it was similar to X-COM. I recently installed it, and while it seems interesting I can't survive the opening battle, even on Easy.
I'm attempting to use cover, firing from prone, concentrating fire on 1-2 opponents at a time and taking the mercs recommended in the manual and yet the last time I tried I lost everyone but 2 mercenaries in my first battle. What am I likely doing wrong? Am I supposed to run from the first fight after the helicrash and build up strength? The manual says to enter the area and fight.

Fiction author for young adults
Fantasy, Mystery and Suspense
I'm Maurissa Guibord. I'm a writer who lives on the coast of Maine.
Hmm...something about me?
I love stories. Usually ones with happy endings, but not always. Mostly I love stories that make me think I'm in the story, that magical, exciting or spooky things are happening to me and I can't wait to turn the page and see what happens. Because, well, it's about me, right?
Maybe I'm weird that way but I don't think so. I bet there are a lot of us!
Anyway that's how I got to be a writer- by being a weird, insatiable story addict since the 7th grade when I got completely hooked and bedazzled by The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. It took a lot of reading before the idea ever occurred to me that I might be able to write a story like the ones I loved.
Years and years.
And soon my first novel will be published. It's a young adult fantasy called Warped and will be released in 2011 from Delacorte Press. Warped is romantic and a little scary and slightly funny.
Thanks for stopping in—feel free to visit my pages to find out about me, my books or what's new. And I'd love to hear from you!

It was 70 years this week on December 7th, 1941 that America suffered its "Day of Infamy" with the Pearl Harbor invasion and the entry of the US into World War II. Over the next five years, over 16 million American men and women served our country including our founder, Eli M. Schulman. The menu above is from Eli Schulman's "Victory Dinner" on May 18th, 1942 when he joined the US Army Air Corp.
Eli Schulman had opened Eli's Ogden Huddle in 1940 and was called upon to use his foodservice experience to operate a series of PX's for Army Air Corp in Texas, Colorado and Utah rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant.
Being a member of the Army Air Corp, Eli on the right was a part of the team providing support for the B-17 and B-24 Bombers that has such an important role in bringing World War II to an end.
Eli Schulman (on the right) was the host for Actress Ann Sothern when she visited the Army Air Base in Salt Lake City. Considered one of the most beautiful actresses her time, Sothern was at the top of her appeal in World War II appearing in a series of films and radio shows starring her as "Maisie," a brassy Brooklyn burlesque dancer.
Eli's Cheesecake history of creating specialty big cakes dates back to Eli Schulman's days in the Army Air Corp in World War II. Eli, on the left, approves of the cake baked in his kitchen.

To use any of the following templatetags you need to load them first at the top of your template:
{% load cms_tags menu_tags %}
placeholder templatetag defines a placeholder on a page. All
placeholders in a template will be auto-detected and can be filled with
plugins when editing a page that is using said template. When rendering, the
content of these plugins will appear where the
placeholder tag was.
{% placeholder "content" %}
If you want additional content to be displayed in case the placeholder is
empty, use the
or argument and an additional
{% endplaceholder %}
closing tag. Everything between
{% placeholder "..." or %} and
endplaceholder %} is rendered instead if the placeholder has no plugins or
the plugins do not generate any output.
{% placeholder "content" or %}There is no content.{% endplaceholder %}
If you want to add extra variables to the context of the placeholder, you
should use Django's
with tag. For instance, if you want to resize images
from your templates according to a context variable called
width, you can
pass it as follows:
{% with 320 as width %}{% placeholder "content" %}{% endwith %}
If you want the placeholder to inherit the content of a placeholder with the
same name on parent pages, simply pass the
inherit argument:
{% placeholder "content" inherit %}
This will walk the page tree up till the root page and will show the first placeholder it can find with content.
It's also possible to combine this with the
or argument to show an
ultimate fallback if the placeholder and none of the placeholders on parent
pages have plugins that generate content:
{% placeholder "content" inherit or %}There is no spoon.{% endplaceholder %}
See also the
CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF setting where you can also add extra
context variables and change some other placeholder behavior.
Displays a specific placeholder from a given page. This is useful if you want to have some more or less static content that is shared among many pages, such as a footer.
page_lookup (see Page Lookup for more information)
language (optional)
site (optional)
{% show_placeholder "footer" "footer_container_page" %}
{% show_placeholder "content" request.current_page.parent_id %}
{% show_placeholder "teaser" request.current_page.get_root %}
page_lookup argument, passed to several templatetags to retrieve a
page, can be of any of the following types:
str: interpreted as the
reverse_id field of the desired page, which
can be set in the "Advanced" section when editing a page.
int: interpreted as the primary key (
pk field) of the desired page
dict: a dictionary containing keyword arguments to find the desired page
(for instance:
{'pk': 1})
Page: you can also pass a page object directly, in which case there will
be no database lookup.
If you know the exact page you are referring to, it is a good idea to use a
reverse_id (a string used to uniquely name a page) rather than a
hard-coded numeric ID in your template. For example, you might have a help
page that you want to link to or display parts of on all pages. To do this,
you would first open the help page in the admin interface and enter an ID
(such as
help) under the 'Advanced' tab of the form. Then you could use
reverse_id with the appropriate templatetags:
{% show_placeholder "right-column" "help" %}
Help page
If you are referring to a page relative to the current page, you'll probably have to use a numeric page ID or a page object. For instance, if you want the content of the parent page display on the current page, you can use:
{% show_placeholder "content" request.current_page.parent_id %}
Or, suppose you have a placeholder called
teaser on a page that, unless a
content editor has filled it with content specific to the current page, should
inherit the content of its root-level ancestor:
{% placeholder "teaser" or %}
{% show_placeholder "teaser" request.current_page.get_root %}
{% endplaceholder %}
The same as
show_placeholder, but the placeholder contents will not be
page_lookup (see Page Lookup for more information)
language (optional)
site (optional)
{% show_uncached_placeholder "footer" "footer_container_page" %}
Displays the URL of a page in the current language.
page_lookup (see Page Lookup for more information)
Help page
Parent page
This templatetag is used to display an attribute of the current page in the current language.
page_lookup (optional; see Page Lookup for more
Possible values for
attribute_name are:
(note that you can also supply that argument without quotes, but this is
deprecated because the argument might also be a template variable).
{% page_attribute "page_title" %}
If you supply the optional
page_lookup argument, you will get the page
attribute from the page found by that argument.
{% page_attribute "page_title" "my_page_reverse_id" %}
{% page_attribute "page_title" request.current_page.parent_id %}
{% page_attribute "slug" request.current_page.get_root %}
show_menu tag renders the navigation of the current page. You can
overwrite the appearance and the HTML if you add a
cms/menu.html template
to your project or edit the one provided with django-cms.
show_menu takes
four optional parameters:
The first two parameters,
start_level (default=0) and
(default=100) specify from what level to which level should the navigation be
rendered. If you have a home as a root node and don't want to display home you
can render the navigation only after level 1.
The third parameter,
extra_inactive (default=0), specifies how many levels
of navigation should be displayed if a node is not a direct ancestor or
descendant of the current active node.
Finally, the fourth parameter,
extra_active (default=100), specifies how
many levels of descendants of the currently active node should be displayed.
Complete navigation (as a nested list):
{% show_menu 0 100 100 100 %}
Navigation with active tree (as a nested list):
{% show_menu 0 100 0 100 %}
Navigation with only one active extra level:
{% show_menu 0 100 0 1 %}
Level 1 navigation (as a nested list):
{% show_menu 1 %}
Navigation with a custom template:
{% show_menu 0 100 100 100 "myapp/menu.html" %}
If you have set an id in the advanced settings of a page, you can display the submenu of this page with a template tag. For example, we have a page called meta that is not displayed in the navigation and that has the id "meta":
{% show_menu_below_id "meta" %}
You can give it the same optional parameters as
{% show_menu_below_id "meta" 0 100 100 100 "myapp/menu.html" %}
Displays the sub menu of the current page (as a nested list).
Takes one argument that specifies how many levels deep should the submenu be
displayed. The template can be found at
{% show_sub_menu 1 %}
Or with a custom template:
{% show_sub_menu 1 "myapp/submenu.html" %}
Renders the breadcrumb navigation of the current page.
The template for the HTML can be found at
{% show_breadcrumb %}
Or with a custom template and only display level 2 or higher:
{% show_breadcrumb 2 "myapp/breadcrumb.html" %}
Usually, only pages visible in the navigation are shown in the breadcrumb. To include all pages in the breadcrumb, write:
{% show_breadcrumb 0 "cms/breadcrumb.html" 0 %}
If the current URL is not handled by the CMS or by a navigation extender, the current menu node can not be determined. In this case you may need to provide your own breadcrumb via the template. This is mostly needed for pages like login, logout and third-party apps. This can easily be accomplished by a block you overwrite in your templates.
For example in your base.html:
{% block breadcrumb %}
{% show_breadcrumb %}
{% endblock %}
And then in your app template:
{% block breadcrumb %}

home

My current page

{% endblock %}
Returns the url of the current page in an other language:
{% page_language_url de %}
{% page_language_url fr %}
{% page_language_url en %}
If the current url has no cms-page and is handled by a navigation extender and the url changes based on the language: You will need to set a language_changer function with the set_language_changer function in cms.utils.
For more information, see Internationalization.
language_chooser template tag will display a language chooser for the
current page. You can modify the template in
menu/language_chooser.html or
provide your own template if necessary.
{% language_chooser %}
or with custom template:
{% language_chooser "myapp/language_chooser.html" %}
The language_chooser has three different modes in which it will display the
languages you can choose from: "raw" (default), "native", "current" and "short".
It can be passed as last argument to the
language_chooser tag as a string.
In "raw" mode, the language will be displayed like it's verbose name in the
settings. In "native" mode the languages are displayed in their actual language
(eg. German will be displayed "Deutsch", Japanese as "日本語" etc). In "current"
mode the languages are translated into the current language the user is seeing
the site in (eg. if the site is displayed in German, Japanese will be displayed
as "Japanisch"). "Short" mode takes the language code (eg. "en") to display.
If the current url has no cms-page and is handled by a navigation extender and the url changes based on the language: You will need to set a language_changer function with the set_language_changer function in cms.utils.
For more information, see Internationalization.
cms_toolbar templatetag will add the needed css and javascript to the
sekizai blocks in the base template. The templatetag should be placed somewhere
within the body of the HTML (within
{% cms_toolbar %}
Enter search terms or a module, class or function name.

Melissa Leo Gossip
Melissa Leo gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Melissa Leo is a hated woman
I think Netflix has a slight problem. I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and debuted just a few weeks later on Netflix with no fanfare. Yesterday they released the trailer for The Most Hated Woman in America starring Melissa Leo Full Story
King RDJ
Uneasy is the head that wears the crown It would apply to Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, once all kings of the box office. For now though, RDJ's reign seems pretty secure. He was first out with Iron Man 3. They came, they tried, they were turned away. It's unlikely now that any other movie this year will match or exceed Tony Stark's take. Full Story
Catching Fire casting and the search for Finnick
Casting rumours are just like regular rumours. Everyone reads the first headline but no one ever reads the denial and subsequent dismissal. Take Melissa Leo for example. If you were to google Melissa Leo you'd find several pages of links reporting that she's to be Mags in Catching Fire citing Variety as a source. Full Story
Worst of 2011: Melissa Leo's Oscar ads
Wenn, Kevin Winter/Getty
I interviewed Melissa Leo like 2 hours after she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscar. She was really, really lovely. We were at Sundance. She said she was on her way that afternoon back to LA to start getting styled. And then a couple of weeks later her Oscar ads came out ... Sarah, at the time, compared them to a "foot wound". Full Story
Kate cusses back
As you know, Melissa Leo dropped an f-bomb at the Oscars in reference to Kate Winslet making it look "so f-cking easy". Now Kate has answered back. Hilariously. In an interview with Zap2it, Kate replied: "Everyone dumps all this sh-t on me, all the f-cking time. Full Story
Oscar Undecided: Melissa Leo
I can't decide about Melissa Leo on Oscar night. With anything. Like, I don't know if I like this dress. I know I don't mind the high collar. I know I don't mind the beading. But there's also something decidedly low rent about it. Or that may be because the taste of her embarrassing ads is still lingering in my mouth. Full Story
Oscar campaigns gone wild
Written by Sarah Last week during the liveblog someone asked if I knew of any examples of when Oscar campaigning has backfired. I couldn't think of any off the top of my head (Deadline includes a list in the article sourced below), but now we have a contemporary example. Full Story
Keep your mind off it…and predictions
Tomorrow morning. You know. We all get up at the ass of morning and wait for the announcement – Oscar nominations. There will be a lot of white-knuckling tonight. But not from Melissa Leo. Love her. When I talked to her on the carpet last night at the Red State premiere, she was like – it's an honour, but just like an audition, you have to put that away, you have to know there's more to this than that kind of recognition.

As the intertubes overtake boob tubes and telephone tubes as our primary mode of communication, it becomes increasingly important to ensure that access is available and affordable for all Americans. The FCC's ambitious new plan looks to do just that.
The plan, which will likely be proposed to Congress on Tuesday, got the front page treatment in today's New York Times. We'd heard snatches of the FCC's vision for a National Broadband Plan, and now, it seems, the long push toward implementation is about to begin.
The Federal Communications Commission's plan includes a variety of measures to ensure the strength of our nation's internet infrastructure over the next decade, including giving subsidies to companies who extend their networks into rural areas and developing a universal set-top box to streamline cable TV and internet access.
All of this probably sounds good to you, John Q. Internet Using Public, but it won't be come without a fight from the likes of Comcast and AT&T, who will undoubtedly push back as they try to maintain their control (and bottom lines).
Yesterday, the FCC released their own online speed test, encouraging users to report their results and keep their ISPs in check. Perhaps not the most diplomatic move, but it shows that the Commission understands that not everyone will remain a friend as they put their ambitious proposal in motion. [New York Times]
