As previously reported, TMZ had leaked pictures of RHOA star Kim Zolciak, with a positive pregnancy test which they received from her ex-lesbian lover, DJ Tracy Young. Now Kim has confirmed the news that she vehemently denied, telling Life & style Magazine about her happiness with NFL Falcons Kroy Biermann.
Life & Style reports,
"I was surprised!" Kim, 32, tells Life & Style about the pregnancy. "While it wasn't planned, God clearly has a bigger and better plan for us and we're excited."
At first, Kim denied reports that she was pregnant when a jealous ex leaked the news back in October. "I was appalled and disgusted by that," she says. "I wasn't through my first trimester — you never know what could happen."
But now Kim is three months pregnant and ready to share the wonderful news, telling Life & Style: "I'm the happiest I've ever been."
Kim, who has two daughters from a previous marriage, Brielle, 13, and Ariana, 9, has been dating Kroy since May – viewers saw her meet the 25-year-old Atlanta Falcons defensive end on the Nov. 14 episode of Housewives. "He makes me a better person," says Kim. "I love everything about him."
The couple has yet to find out the sex of the baby, but boy or girl, Kim can't wait to start a family with the football star. "I definitely don't want to get married while I'm pregnant," she says. "But I can see myself marrying Kroy in the future."
Did you guys catch Andy Cohen's, "Watch What Happens Live", when she performed her new single "Google Me"? Did you peep how the avid wine drinker sipped tea throughout the entire show, claiming she's taking Kandi's advice…yeah Okay Kim. Well Congrats to her… she had to move on since Big Poppa is supposedly broke and STILL married. Good luck to the happy couple.

Our church is in a transition period. We sold our building and we have been using a conference room (former movie theatre) in Tampa's NetPark for our Wed services and we meet at a local college, HCC Ybor campus, on Sundays.
This was necessary as we had outgrown our previous building and location, so this frees us up in some ways until we can find and purchase a piece of land and or a building.
Our pastor has decided to change our Wednesday evening service by having us meet in each other's homes. For a title of these meeting, he has chosen "Lighthouse Groups". We have done small groups before, but the emphasis seemed to be on fellowship. Pastor's vision for these groups is for the emphasis to be on the word of God. Fellowship will be a natural outflow of that.
The development of meaningful relationships between children of God is very important to me, personally. Yet, I am one of the least successful in this pursuit. I don't know if it's a matter of time management or social skills or what, but I am hopeful that these lighthouse groups will allow more opportunities for me to develop those relationships with my brothers and sisters.

AUD$2.95 Publisher: Fremantle Arts Centre Press ISBN-13: 9781920731076 Series: Binding: Paperback Year Published: 2003 Tom and Jack tells the story of the Kilfoyles, cousins of the Duracks, who played a major part in the original overland cattle drive from Queensland to the mouth of the Ord River on the border between the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and were instrumental in establishing the cattle industry in that part of the country. Unlike Mary Durack's famous King's In Grass Castles, Geraldine Byrne's account is based completely on fact. What emerges is not only a wonderfully intimate account of the day to day problems and hardships faced by these early pioneers as they struggled to make a living in the most sparsely settled region of the continent but also an account that seriously questions some of the assumptions that were made by Mary Durack in her imaginative recreation. Tom Kilfoyle, for example is portrayed as a colourful character who did things his own way and had, for the time, very enlightened ideas on land management and a more sympathetic attitude to the local Aborigines than many of his contemporaries.

Listening to this in the car has reignited my interest in this slim piece of time (97-8?). Speed garage sounds very evocative now and definitely a London thing. I think it's aged pretty well.
What is striking though is that a lot of the speed garage guys had a very short productive period - locked in the pre-2-step period and not really venturing any further. Scott Garcia, 187 Lockdown, Double 99, Tuff Jam, KMA...careers all basically fizzled out by 1999.
How fertile is Speed Garage? What are the best tracks, or the lost gems?

Macabre Monday Butchered Blueprint
However, the Masterful Mistress has outdone herself and upon gazing at her rendering a thought immediately came to mind. (WOOHOO!)
Now don't think for a minute that this reflects any of my relationships, either past or present, but I've been dying to use Teri's Voodoo Woman from Delicious Doodles for some time now. Ain't she purty? Quite the eye for vengeance too, don'tcha think? Yikes! I can't imagine where that last one is going. (You dudes out there cringing yet?) I'm hoping she doesn't reconcile, 'cause in my estimation, she's already cut off her nose to spite her face.
I had no probs pulling apart that butt ugly flower and using the petals for the X's in the sketch either. Popped the image and sentiment for a little dimension. The rest of the Minions had no probs with this challenge so if you're looking for inspiration, check out the dungeon HERE and don't forget to return for Wretched Wednesday where winners from last week are revealed and Creepy Glow honors us with her presence. (Always a treat!)

Butt ugly flower haha you are too funny. Another AMAZING card from yourself and love that image too, but I think it is genius how you made it 3d with the real pin. SUPERB. xxReplyDelete
Ha-ha! You always make me laugh hun! Had a job with this sketch myself, total lack of inspiration for it. Love your take hun! xxReplyDelete
this gets my vote, won't even go to the don't cross Donna line, what a hoot, love those petals and cool image, have a great week, hugsReplyDelete
ohhhh love it, a little scaryyyyyyyyyy jajaja but beautiful!!! Kisses! :)ReplyDelete
THIS. IS. FREAKING. AWESOME. Love it, Donna, it's amazing.ReplyDelete
Absolutely stunning. Love it. Caroline xxxReplyDelete
Note to self: keep on Donna Mundinger's good side.ReplyDelete
Love this project and the petals were transformed into a thing of beauty.
That is exactly why I save things like butt ugly flowers (that is sooo fun to type and say) - you never know when you might need them! What a fun creation for this very cool sketch. Teri's image is really cool but is somewhat frightening in a way. Brilliant idea for this challenge and lots of fun!!!!ReplyDelete
LOL.. you are so funnyReplyDelete

Double 3D cast freestanding hand or foot casting or a mix of hand and foot. Freeze in time those little fingers and toes and remember how tiny they once were.
Casting is made using a powder called 'Alginate', this a product used by dentists so you can be rest assured it is completely harmless to your loved one. The cast is then filled with plaster to make the model.
Taking casts is an easy & stress free process – it only takes around 30 seconds for each mould to set. Once the mould has been created and the hands or feet have been cast, we must allow them to dry out before we can finish and mount them to your specification, at which point, they will be ready for you to collect.
3D Casting can be done from the comfort of your own home or appointments are also available at my home studio in Chelmsford. There are lots of different finishes to choose from and these can be discussed at the time of your appointment.
Once you have placed your order, we will be in contact to arrange a suitable day & time to come and take the cast.
The whole process can take up to 4-5 weeks, depending on volume of work and time of year (Mother's Day & Christmas being our busiest time)

The Moscow Tram System maps were in dire need of an upgrade, as many people were having difficulties reading the directions. Each section was found on a different sheet, making it hard to visualize exactly where the trams corresponded with the actual landscape. The branding agency None.ru consolidated everything into one easy-to-read sheet and color-coded the system too.
Each line has its own color for representation, and not only does the map look good, but it's also extremely functional too. When traveling in Moscow, people were complaining that it was near impossible to read the original tram map, but None.ru has changed this for both tourists, as well as the people living in the city.

College can often be a very stressful time between early classes, challenging tests, and long, interactive lectures. Schedules are tight, sleep is minimal, and relaxing, quiet moments can be few and far between. One of the things we all firmly believe at Emerald City Pet Rescue is that pets are therapeutic. They intuitively respond to the stress in humans by bonding with us, cuddling with us, and taking us out of the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. Dogs live in the moment and their presence encourages us to do the same.
Yesterday, we had a wonderful opportunity to bring some of our rescue dogs to the University of Washington so they could participate in a "De-stress With Pets" event. For an hour, college students could come in to a room, sit on the ground, and pet and play with dogs.
Where in the world was this when I was in college?!
I digress.
Three of our currently adoptable dogs, Buddy, Indigo, and Kona, joined us from the rescue along with some dogs owned by employees.
We had never participated in an event like this before, so we weren't sure what to expect. We hoped the dogs would all behave, act friendly, and successfully de-stress these college students and we were not disappointed! Within the hour, nearly 100 students came to the event. It was truly amazing to watch the dogs light up, even in a room packed full of people, and without hesitation, greet people, ask for pets, sit on laps, and chase after toys in games of fetch. It was as if they fully understood that their "job" was simply to bring joy to others, and they found joy themselves in doing so.
As a dog-mom myself, I know firsthand the therapeutic benefits to having dogs around. When I'm feeling down, they don't leave my side. When I'm stressed, they adamantly insist that I take a seat, remove myself from my "hurried" compulsions, and pet them in a slow, gentle rhythm until I am as calm as they are. Even so, watching them display such heart, soul, and amazingly compassionate intuition toward dozens of strangers all in one room was something I will remember for a long time.
We plan to do more events like this in the future. It's an amazing, and I imagine much-needed break for college students, and it's a wonderful experience for the dogs, as well.
We are always open to opportunities to reach out into the community and help others, educate others, and along with our wonderful rescue pets, facilitate bonding and appreciation between humans and animals alike.
If you are looking for a furry friend of your own to help de-stress you on a daily basis, our pets are gladly up to the task! Check them out at www.emeraldcitypetrescue.org

Red Tail Boas have been a favorite of snake keepers for many years, but as responsible boa breeders we want to give you all the facts you'll need to make a proper decision on owning these wonderful animals. Red Tail Boas are truly magnificent snakes, but the cute, 3-ounce, 20-inch hatchling will grow to a whopping 4-to-5 feet within a year. By the end of the second year the Red Tail Boa will typically reach 6 to 10 feet total. After the second year growth rate slows significantly and an adult size of 6 to 10 feet will take place. Red Tail Boas typically live a long time and while captive bred Red Tails are docile snakes that adapt to handling well you need to consistently handle your snake to keep it that way. At Big Apple Pet Supply, we carry only Captive Bred Red Tail Boas to maintain strict quality control. Wild caught Red Tail Boas typically carry parasites and can be much more aggressive than captive bred.
Snakes normally shed their skin easily but sometimes they have issues if they do not have the proper humidity while shedding. For this reason, it is important to maintain a decent amount of humidity in the cage by misting a couple times a day. This is especially true around shedding time. Providing a moist shelter is another way to ensure necessary humidity during shedding. Use moistened Big Apple Imported Premium Grade Sphagnum Moss or Zoo Med Forest Floor Cypress inside your snake's hide.
You need to check your snake after it has shed to make sure it was able to peel all the skin off, especially around the eyes. If unshed skin is not removed promptly serious health issues can form. If your Red Tail Boa has retained skin after shedding you can place the snake in a plastic container lined with warm, wet paper towels with the container lid on or soak the snake in warm water. Let the snake stay in the container or warm water for approximately 30 minutes. The high humidity in the container or using the soaking method should loosen the skin enough to allow you to remove it easily with a pair of tweezers. If the skin has not loosened enough, reheat the paper towels with warm water and provide another 30 minute session. NEVER use hot water as this can burn your Red Tail Boa.

Feeding live or pre-killed has been a question we are often asked. Opinions vary on this subject but we are emphatic that thawed frozen rodents are a much better option. First, feeding thawed rodents is easier and secondly it's substantially less expensive because you can purchase rats or mice in bulk and then store them in the freezer. More importantly, it is significantly safer for the snake. The bottom line is that a thawed mouse will never bite or chew on your snake in defense. We have seen nasty rodent bites inflicted on snakes when fed live rodents. We suggest you play it smart and go with feeding thawed prey items. At Big Apple Pet Supply, we carry a huge selection of frozen feeders that we deliver right to your door.

About Me
Sylvia Eng
Hi I am Sylvia!
I was inspired to learn the art photography when I adopted my second child. She has albinism and is very photo-phobic. My point and shoot flash was hurting her eyes and I was missing out on precious memories because I needed specialized skills and equipment to capture her in photos. Because of her my style has developed to photograph completely flash free. My children were my inspiration to learn this craft so I named my business after them (Squeaker and Yoyo are their nicknames).
Although this is a newer artistic medium for me, I have studied visual arts my whole life and graduated with a degree in digital media. Before that I was a fashion model, so images and photography have always been a passion of mine.
I know what it is like to be on both sides of the lens. My goal as your photographer is to use my experience as a model to coach you though the shoot to ensure you look your very best. I consider the style I provide to be an art form, taking your image and adding a touch of digital magic. Sprinkling your images with creativity, imagination and just a tiny bit of faerie dust. The result is always a relaxed and beautiful experience.
I photograph in the greater Toronto area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Milton, Oakville, Orangeville, Acton, Georgetown and Caledon. I look forward to working with you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Miraflex glasses reviewPosted by Sylvia Eng
Cute factor
5 comments:
- Anonymous said...
my guys aren't effected too much by indoor light either, but we still found that having the glasses given a light tinting at the top of the glasses transitioning down to nothing at bottom makes them even more comfortable. We had this done on the glasses they wear all day at school. Transitions weren't going to work for them either. They definitely don't get dark enough for outside. We end up having them switch to outside sunglasses that have a good curve to help with light that comes in from the side. I liked the idea of polarized lenses to help cut the glare.... but they didn't like them indoors as they were too dark even with the lightest polarizing lens. It seems there are no "perfect" solutions for them. At least they are happy with their gradiated tint glasses and don't put up a fuss about wearing them!

This is so helpful! I've been looking for a way to make our Miraflex frames into sunglasses and am very thankful to have found your post. Can you tell me where you found Joe Fresh kid's sunglasses? Thanks!

Joe Fresh is a Canadian brand, maybe try Claire's I think they are in the US as well and I have had good luck there.

THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much for this idea! Two of my daughters just got glasses and have prescriptions that magnify the light. We love to be outside and I've been so worried about the damage it could cause. Transitions seem to darken permanently over time, so I didn't want those. This is a wonderful solution!

The chasm between the rich and the not-so-rich seems to be ever widening though the former seem to be putting in no greater efforts. The secret to their "quick easy money" success lies in compound interest, and the fact that they wisely invest the money they already have, thus multiplying it. People with money earn even through interest on the invested money. A cyclic effect, but it sure leads one to conclude that money does grow on trees.
There is nothing to stop you from putting the money at your disposal into the bank account and earn compound interest. Simply stated, compound interest rates work in your favor in the way explained below:
The bank generally pays an interest on the primary amount deposited by you and not on the cumulative amount. This considerably restricts the basic amount from growing as it would have, had it been made to earn a compound interest. Such a deposit earns dividend on the interest of the key amount along with the basic interest paid for it.
"Compounding" is the term generally applied to the additional interest paid on the sum total value of the principal money as it earns basic interest month after month. This results in faster growth of your money, thus making you richer.
This is a smart way to watch your money double as the interest you earn each time is calculated on the interest already compounded. Of course, making money quick this way is not always guaranteed, but a bank balance offering compound interest is the ideal way to escalate the principal sum safely.
You can use simple mathematical calculation (or use a simple interest calculator) to deduce how much your principal amount will grow within a fixed time period. This can be done depending upon how the institution your money is invested in pays the interest – whether annually, bi-annually, quarterly, monthly or perhaps even daily.
Earning a compound interest through a bank account is one of the best ways to multiply your wealth and potentially earn quick money (if managed properly). You cannot afford to ignore this sure technique of gaining monetary power without having to lift a finger!

Deadliest day in years ahead of US Jerusalem embassy opening
By Agence France-Presse
Violent clashes erupted along the Gaza Strip's border ahead of the controversial opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, leaving 37 Palestinians dead from Israeli fire and hundreds wounded in the conflict's bloodiest day in years.
The clashes took place as a White House delegation and Israeli officials gathered for the embassy inauguration ceremony in Jerusalem. It was the bloodiest day in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since a 2014 Gaza war.
The dead included a 14-year-old, according to the Gazan health ministry, which also provided the overall death toll.
Tens of thousands had gathered near the border in protest while smaller numbers of stone-throwing Palestinians approached the fence and sought to break through, with Israeli snipers positioned on the other side.
Crowds built throughout the day in the Palestinian enclave less than 100 kilometres (60 miles) away from Jerusalem and sealed off from Israel by a blockade.
Israel's military said "over 35,000 Palestinians are currently taking part in violent riots in 12 locations along the Gaza Strip security fence."
"The rioters are hurling firebombs and explosive devices towards the security fence and (Israeli) forces, and are burning tyres, throwing rocks and launching flaming objects in order to ignite fires in Israeli territory and harm (Israeli) troops."
It said soldiers were responding with "riot dispersal means and fire."
The Palestinian Authority government based in the occupied West Bank accused Israel of committing a "terrible massacre."
The inauguration that follows US President Donald Trump's deeply controversial December 6 recognition of the disputed city as Israel's capital also comes at a time of heightened regional tensions.
In a tweet on Monday, Trump hailed the embassy opening as "a great day for Israel".
It follows Trump's announcement last week that the United States is withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal and Israeli strikes two days later on dozens of Iranian targets in Syria.
Those strikes came after rocket fire toward Israeli forces in the occupied Golan Heights that Israel blamed on Iran.
Monday's inauguration ceremony at 4:00 pm (1300 GMT) will include around 800 guests — though not Trump himself — at what until now had been a US consulate building in Jerusalem.
US Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan will lead the Washington delegation that includes Trump's daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, both White House aides, as well as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
– 'Capital for all time' –
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has repeatedly called Trump's decision "historic", welcomed them at a reception on Sunday.
"Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people for the past 3,000 years," he said.
"It's been the capital of our state for the past 70 years. It will remain our capital for all time."
Sullivan called the embassy "a long overdue recognition of reality."
Saeb Erekat, Palestine Liberation Organisation secretary-general, called it a "hostile act against international law".
Police and the Israeli military deployed massively.
Around 1,000 police officers were being positioned around the embassy for the inauguration.
Israel's army said it was almost doubling the number of troops surrounding Gaza and in the occupied West Bank.
It also dropped leaflets warning Gazans to stay away from the fence, including one with a photo of the Champs-Elysees boulevard in Paris and the caption: "Gaza 2025? The choice is in your hands."
Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in a message to Gazans "we will protect our civilians with all our means and not enable the fence to be crossed."
Israelis began celebrating on Sunday, as tens of thousands of marched in Jerusalem, some holding American flags, to mark Jerusalem Day.
The annual event is an Israeli celebration of the "reunification" of the city following the 1967 Six-Day War.
Israel occupied the West Bank and east Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed east Jerusalem in a move never recognised by the international community.
Beyond the disputed nature of Jerusalem, the date of the embassy move is also key.
May 14 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of Israel.
The following day, Palestinians mark the "Nakba", or catastrophe, commemorating the more than 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes in the 1948 war surrounding Israel's creation.
Palestinian protests are planned on both days.
– 'Off the table' –
There had already been weeks of protests and clashes along the Gaza border, with 91 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire there since March 30.
No Israelis have been wounded and the military has faced criticism over the use of live fire.
Israel says it only opens fire when necessary to stop infiltrations, attacks and damage to the border fence, while accusing Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs the blockaded Gaza Strip, of seeking to use the protests as cover to carry out violence.
Jerusalem's status is perhaps the thorniest issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel considers the entire city its capital, while the Palestinians see east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
In the decades since 1967, international consensus has been that the city's status must be negotiated between the two sides, but Trump broke with that to global outrage.
He has argued that it helps make peace possible by taking Jerusalem "off the table", but many have pointed out he has not announced any concessions in return from Israel.
Trump's initial decision led to a series of protests in various Middle Eastern and Muslim countries.

Breathing is inhalation and exhalation, where oxygen is inhaled into and carbon dioxide is released from the body. Air passes through the nose, which has fine hair and mucus to filter out suspended particles in the air like pollen. When the person's immunity is weakened or is highly reactive, the mucosa reacts to many substances which are generally present. This is known as allergic rhinitis.
Types: Depending on the occurrence, it can be:
- Seasonal: For instance, in spring when there is too much pollen in the air; known as hay fever. This is an acute rhinitis and subsides with a change in weather.
- Chronic: This is when the body reacts to some normal substances like eggs, animal dander, extreme cold, dust, mites, etc. via an allergic reaction.
Causes of allergic rhinitis as per Ayurveda
- Mandagni – low digestion strength
- Kapha vruddhi – increase of Kapha dosha
- Allergens – external factors such as pollen, dust etc
- Residing with pet animals
- Exposure to humidity, dust, cold
- Virudh aahara – wrong food combinations
- Long term intake of drugs like aspirin, leading to depleted immunity and making the person prone to dust allergies.
- Runny nose for prolonged periods of time
- Chronic congestion
- Persistent sneezing
- Teary eyes
- Fever and headache
Ayurveda believes that this is due to excessive kapha dosha. So, in order to manage allergic rhinitis, two approaches should be taken. Foods which increase kapha should be avoided, and elimination of kapha from the body should be targeted.
Non-medical ways to combat allergic rhinitis:
Prevention has a big role to play in managing allergic rhinitis.
- Whether it is animal dander, eggs, tomatoes, or extreme cold, if you know it could cause an attack, stay away from it.
- Chew foods properly to ensure through absorption of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for immunity
- Boil water with a spoonful of turmeric and a pinch of salt and drink it regularly
- Basil and mint leaves can be boiled in water and consumed for improving allergic rhinitis
- Clove and pepper can be chewed to get immediate relief
- A mixture of crushed clove and pepper mixed with turmeric and honey works wonders for allergic rhinitis
- Eat seasonal fruits and vegetables. They are more likely to be chemical-free, are cheaper, fresher, and definitely more nutritious.
- Carrots eaten with a bit of fat produce the best defense against allergic rhinitis, as the beta-carotene in it is fat soluble.
- Whole grains, green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and dairy products, contain a number of vitamins and minerals which help in fighting allergic rhinitis
- Ayurvedic remedies like shilajit and guduchi boost immunity function
- Neem, Ashwagandha, liquorice, cinnamon, tulsi, and curcumin are proven remedies for allergic rhinitis.
- Panchakarma specifically aimed at rhinitis include Nasya, Dhoomapana (medicated smoking) and emesis (vaman ). This helps in eliminating kapha which is believed to cause allergic rhinitis.
Though allergic rhinitis is a very common condition, the treatment is also easy and many home remedies help in managing the condition.
Lifestyle improvement:
- Always keep cloves and black peppers with you. Immediately keep two pieces of it in mouth when you feel of attack.
- At the pre attack or attack rub Nilgiri oil , Mint oil, or pain balm on chest and get fomentation.
- Keep watch on the elements that causes irritation for you and stay away from this.
- Use mask while driving vehicle or going through public places.
- Always take warm water bath.
- Do not expose to hot sunrays.
- Regularly take inhalation of steam.
- Regularly go for morning walk in warm weather.
- Do sufficient exercise.
- Do not reside in dark or dump places. Get fresh air.
- Do not get sleep at day time or immediate after dinner.
- Take sufficient rest. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor.

Midwest Foodservice Expo Spices Up
Marketing Efforts with Help of Tourism Grant
Department of Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett presents $39,550 grant
MADISON, Wis. (Feb. 18, 2015) – Midwest Foodservice Expo is spicing up their marketing efforts with the help of a $39,550 Joint Effort Marketing (JEM) grant, presented by Wisconsin Department of Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett. Hosted by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association, the Expo is the all-inclusive foodservice market that brings together buyers and sellers to network and do business. Held at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee, Mar. 9-11, the Wisconsin Restaurant Association estimates this project will generate an economic impact of $1 million from traveler spending at area hotels, restaurants, and stores.
"The foodservice and hospitality industry is vital to tourism and this is a phenomenal marketplace for these industries to network, learn, and train to continue to grow their businesses," said Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett. "This event is over 80 years old and we're excited to support the Wisconsin Restaurant Association as it grows the expo, ultimately creating a positive economic impact in the community."
In fiscal 2014, the Department funded 60 Joint Effort Marketing projects, awarding a total of more than $1.1 million dollars. Visitor expenditures driven by the marketing from these projects will exceed $28 million dollars. In 2013, the tourism economy in Wisconsin totaled an estimated $17.5 billion, a four percent increase over 2012. Total business sales in Milwaukee County topped in $3 billion in total business sales in 2013, supporting over 30,000 jobs and over $200 million in state and local taxes.
The Midwest Foodservice Expo is a three day event that is designed to give food industry professionals the resources they need to be better operators, understand consumer trends and ultimately be more profitable in their businesses. The Expo includes hundreds of product exhibits, demonstrations, educational programming, and student competitions. The Wisconsin Restaurant Association seeks to strengthen the Expo's presence with businesses in Wisconsin, as well as build event awareness in new markets to increase out-of-state attendance. Grant funds will go towards print and online media to promote the Expo.
"We are thrilled with being awarded this grant!" said Dawn Faris, VP of Exposition for the Wisconsin Restaurant Association. "It's an exciting time for us as we work on bringing more small business people to the Expo from our neighboring states. These grant dollars are allowing us to reach so many more food, beverage and hospitality professionals than ever before. We look forward to our Expo growing and making a bigger economic impact on the state."
JEM grant funds are available to non-profit organizations for the promotion of Wisconsin tourism events and destinations. The state can fund up to 75 percent of a project's first-year advertising and marketing costs, and provide support for second- and third-year projects with decreasing amounts for funding until projects become self-sustaining. For information on the JEM Program and application materials, visit http://industry.travelwisconsin.com.
The mission of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism is to market the state as the Midwest's premier travel destination for fun. By executing industry-leading marketing programs, providing reliable travel information and establishing strategic partnerships, we will play a significant role in delivering exceptional customer service and generating greater economic impact and jobs for Wisconsin. The portal for traveler information can be found at: www.travelwisconsin.com.
Since 1933, the Wisconsin Restaurant Association has been dedicated
to the promotion, protection and improvement of the foodservice industry.

By Shelby Fielding (Lubbock, Texas, USA)
Ouija: Origin of Evil: One of the Best Horror Sequels Ever?
Ouija: Origin of Evil is directed by Mike Flanagan and stars Lulu Wilson, Elizabeth Reaser, and Annalise Basso. The film tells the story of a family that have recently lost their father, in a terrible accident, that runs a supernatural scam to help people find closure during grief by telling them what they want to hear. Then after one of the daughters is found playing a board game called Ouija at a friend's house, where you're allowed to talk to spirits, she then recommends it to her mother to improve the scam and the act. This influences the mother to do so, then one night the youngest daughter begins playing with the Ouija board, in which she accidentally begins talking to an evil spirit that she confuses with her father. This starts a terrifying, 99 minute, thrilling film that carries itself through well-directed sound design and exalting performances from the main cast. Ouija Origin: of Evil is a complete turnaround from the terrible original film known as Ouija. Through this turnaround, Mike Flanagan tells a skin crawling narrative while capturing every essence of the films setting and time.
My Thoughts:
I hated the 2014 film known as Ouija, and this hatred made me dread the experience I would receive when I watched this film. Little did I know that Mike Flanagan would create one the best horror films of the year so far. I loved this movie, and it might be one the best horror sequels ever just because the first one was so bad. I am a huge fan of the horror genre, and I love it when directors decide to use unconventional methods to create a horror film. This creates something entirely different from what the audience is familiar with. An example of these methods is that there was actually humor created in this film. Mike Flanagan uses this comic relief to offer characterization and incredible set up to the tension later to come. These unconventional methods create a terrific horror film by using strong characterization, great shot sequences, and spine-tingling sound design.
The Film Making:
This movie did a very excellent job of creating characterization to help the audience truly relate to the characters themselves. This creates an extraordinary amount of tension because it allows the audience to fear what could happen to these characters. Mike Flanagan also uses an incredible amount of silence to carry the tension and offers the audience a natural reaction to what's appearing on the screen. The finely tuned precision of how shots are cut together is done extraordinarily well and uses great articulation of the camera to give chilling horror sequences. But, what truly made this film standout was Mike Flanagan's excellent job of capturing the setting of this film. He uses old universal titles from the 70's and old-fashioned cinematography that creates flares in the film or what some call "cigarette burns".
Directors used to use these flares to tell the protectionists when to switch reels, which creates a jump on the frame every time a scene changes. The film even booms the opening title on to the screen with roman numerals at the bottom. All of these filmmaking techniques create a wonderful sense of environment for the audience. Allowing the audience to feel as if it's watching an old movie or if they've traveled back in time to see a new movie in an old theater. This setting is further realized through great wardrobe design and dialogue that shows the time of the setting. Using words like "groovy" and "skinny". The filmmaking is further improved upon with excellent sound design to help the audience feel the fear created by the director. It is through this wondrous capturing of the setting, excellent direction, and well-crafted a sound design that the audience grasps the tension and suspense of the film.
The Performances & Flaws:
The performances are top-notch with the main character of Lulu Wilson, who played the girl who is possessed, giving an excellent performance. She provides this creepy, skin-crawling, and eerie character that provides unsettling emotions along with strong dialogue to create an unsettling character. Annalise Basso is also excellent in the film, in which she provides a relatable, smart, and loveable character in the film. The mom played by Elizabeth Reaser is also really great, and she offers a sorrow filled character who is trying to recover from grief and learning how to live with it. Henry Thomas also has a meaty role as a priest in the film that helps the family. The flaws I found in this film really centralize around a scene in the film that ends up using CGI. The use of CGI took me out of the film a bit, because of the old setting created throughout the film. The only other flaw I found in the film was the character of Father Tom, I felt that he was used as plot device in certain aspects of the film.
Final Thoughts & Grade:
Overall I loved this film and was deeply terrified by the films aspects. This film features awesome direction, filmmaking, performances, and a chilling narrative. I was creeped out by this movie, and I'm going to give Ouija: Origin of Evil an A-. This is the best horror film of the year so far and was incredibly creeped out by it. What do you guys think? Is Ouija the best horror sequel? Let me know down in the comments below, and as always have a blessed day.

Author: Lauren Oliver
Genre: Dystopia, YA
Subject: Romance, Alternative society
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release date: February 2011
Length: 441 pages
I got this book: Borrowed it from the library
From Goodreads:
"Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn't understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she'll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.
But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love."
Personal opinion:
I was curious if this book would live up to the hype so therefore I reserved it at the library. In the beginning I didn't know if I would like this book or not. The story was presented in an interesting way but I didn't think it was that special. However as the story progressed I started to love it more and more. I like the way how Lena's character evolved throughout the story and how much she changed during the story. Alex is also a likable character. He made me curious because he was different and I liked how Lena was slowly drawn to him more and more. In the latter part of the story things move more quickly and we get to see some action. Even though the ending was bittersweet, I liked how it all build up to this and I really want to read the 2nd book in the series. Somehow I do think that this is one of the better dystopian novels I have read but I am not certain why this is exactly.
Loved it!

The traditional view of the mainstream military is anti-gay. It has always been that way. Knowing this is the case, if a homosexual wants to serve in the military and come out openly, who are we to stop him or her? It may very well be a death sentence but each individual has a right to make that decision for him or herself.
Anyone who passes basic training should be allowed to fight, regardless of sexual orientation. Homosexuality was long misunderstood as a disease, but instead it is now considered normal. Gays should be allowed to serve openly because the Armed Forces aren't about sexuality, but are instead about winning wars and fighting for the common defense.

Blog Updated 6-15-11: New Kwik Tool design
What You Need:
Electricans Scissors
Now that we have the right tools, lets punch down some keystone jacks
First, strip back the jacket about 1-2". The Cat6 cable (bottom) is larger than the Cat5e cable because it has a center spline, which separates all 4 pairs of wires. This center spline helps reduce Alien Cross-talk.
Now were ready to lace up the wires on your keystone jack. One the the nicest features of these jacks is the pointed 110s. This makes it much easier to lay the wires in, compared to the flat style some other keystone jacks have. Here's a close up view. You can also see it clearly shows the 568B and 568A color code on every jack.
Follow the color code on the side of the jacks. We suggest using 568B since it is the most common. Here is a picture of the 568B color code.
You can use your fingernail to seat the wires, or a utility knife. Make sure not to use the sharp side though, or you could cut through the wire jacket. Once all 4 pairs are laid down in the jack, it should look like this.
Make sure the jacket on your cable is as close to the keystone jack as possible. You don't want anymore than 1/2" of the wires exposed. Below is a picture of the WRONG WAY to do it.
Once the 4 pairs of wires are laced onto your Kwik Jack, slide the jack into the Kwik Tool
Updated 6-15-11: New Kwik Tool design
Here is what the Kwik Jack looks like inserted into the Kwik Tool
Once you have the Kwik Jack in the tool, simply squeeze down on the handle and release. This will punch down and cut all 4 pairs of wires. Remove the Kwik Jack from the tool. Here is a completed Cat5e/Cat6 Kwik Jack
Tip: You can also use a 110 punch tool to terminate the Kwik Jacks
Tip: You can also use a 110 punch tool to terminate the Kwik Jacks
Now, snap on the included dust cover and you're done.
Now let's watch Mercy demonstrate this process on video:

Eight people from Glendale and Burbank were arrested on suspicion of insurance fraud after allegedly staging two car accidents and reporting fraudulent vandalism that, taken together, swindled multiple insurers out of $82,000, officials announced Monday.
Investigators were tipped off roughly two years ago by reports that Suren Grigorian, 45, allegedly filed a fraudulent insurance claim for vandalism to his 2007 Mercedes sedan that was parked at his Burbank home, according to the California Department of Insurance.
An informant alleged that Grigorian damaged his own car, reportedly scamming the insurer of roughly $20,000, officials said.
Further investigation revealed that seven other suspects — family members and close associates of Grigorian — were allegedly involved in staging two car accidents in 2008, defrauding multiple insurers of $62,000.

This drawing shows the necessary details for placing Conduit Sleeves around the Conduit Deflection Joints installed in Retaining Wall Traffic Barriers.
Conduit Deflection Joint with Sleeve
Exposed Conduit Deflection Fitting
This drawing is intended to supplement Standard Plan J-16b, Bridge Traffic Barrier plans, and retaining wall plans that require a conduit deflection joint. It should be included as a detail in any contract with these features. Conduit Deflection Joints protect the conduit and wires where they pass through the barrier/retaining wall expansion joint that is coincident with the footing construction joint. Use of Conduit Deflection Fittings at these junctures diminishes the threats posed by structural movement and the weather. The Sleeve is applied to accommodate the differential movement of the concrete during the pour, and to maximize protection of the fitting during construction. It consists of a casing of polystyrene foam wrapped in duct tape. The foam has a relatively high friction resistant surface that provides sufficient durability. This is enhanced by the tape which is intended to weatherproof the sleeve while exposed, and to resist concrete intrusion during the pour.

Johnson, Stokes cleared of misconduct charges
ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson and England allrounder Ben Stokes have been cleared of misconduct over a collision in the second Ashes test and will be free to play in Perth later this week.
Both players pleaded not guilty in a hearing with match referee Jeff Crowe on Monday after Australia's 218-run win in Adelaide.
A guilty decision could have meant suspension for a test match, or a fine equivalent to the player's full match fee.
Australia takes a 2-0 lead into the third test in Perth, which starts Friday, and where Johnson is expected to be a key contributor.
The 32-year-old paceman, who already has 17 wickets in the series, produced a career-best eight wicket haul at the WACA in Perth in 2008 and took six wickets in an innings in the last Ashes test at the venue.
He and Stokes were charged after the close of play Sunday under section 2.2.4 of the International Cricket Council's code of conduct relating to "inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play."
The incident occurred in the 84th over, after Johnson took the new ball late on Sunday, when the New Zealand-born Stokes was running for a single. Johnson had kept his line in his follow through and Stokes, who was looking in another direction as he took his single, bumped into him.
Crowe said he was satisfied that the contact was not deliberate, but said both players could have done more to avoid each other and had been "counselled" over their behavior.
"We do not condone physical contact, but recognized that on occasions such contact could be accidental," he said.
The Ashes series has been spiteful, with heated verbal exchanges marring stages of Australia's wins in Brisbane and Adelaide.
Australia captain Michael Clarke was fined after an obscenity he used as he traded insults with England's Jimmy Anderson was heard on the TV broadcast of the first test.
Johnson and Stokes, who was playing his first test for England, had a number of terse exchanges during the second test in Adelaide.
England has won the last three Ashes series, completing the most recent with a 3-0 victory at home in August, but has been on the back foot since arriving in Australia.
Johnson, who missed selection for the last Ashes tour, has had a major impact on the current series and has been voted player of the match in the first two tests. He took nine wickets in Australia's 381-run victory in Brisbane, and followed it up with 7-40 in the first innings at Adelaide and the key wicket of England captain Alastair Cook in the second innings.
The England batsmen have been intimidated by his pace and short-pitch bowling, with half of the dismissals so far coming from legside catches to attempted hooks, pulls or fends.
"I'm bowling in short spells. That is what Michael Clarke has wanted me to do through this series so far, and it's something that I have really enjoyed doing," Johnson said. "I guess having that intimidation factor is definitely a bonus."

Though many of their neighbours are opting for a modern facelift, Lucy and Struan Ridgewell's rental shophouse on Makepeace Road retains its original façade.
This is one of those quiet residential roads that you could pass by without noticing, unless you had a specific reason for going there. As I drive down the narrow street, construction is in progress at one of the houses – no doubt to tear down the old façade and replace it with sheets of gleaming glass.
But when Lucy and Struan moved to Singapore three years ago, they weren't looking for a modern home; they were looking for something far more traditional. Despite its rather unusual interior, when she first laid eyes on the house, says Lucy, she could see its great potential.
"The previous tenant was a British film director who painted the walls extraordinary colours. The living area was electric blue! But we signed the lease on the spot."
Since then, they have toned down the décor significantly. The walls are now painted white, and Lucy sums up the interior as "colonial with a dash of Chinese and a smattering of Ikea".
The reception area still has its original terracotta flooring, now complemented by some beautiful colonial furniture made by close friends of the couple, who live in Bali. And mounted on a wall in the reception area is a magnificent pair of Masai warrior spears, which they picked up in Kenya.
"We couldn't believe how easy it was to get them into Singapore!" admits Lucy.
Pets, Parks and Pubs
I love visiting the houses of families who have dogs – mainly because I don't have one of my own – so I was thrilled when Maisie the West Highland terrier appeared. Fortunately for Maisie, there is a small park at the rear of the house where she can run around, and the courtyard, which leads from the house into the park, reminds me of the garden of a quaint English country pub. Lucy, on the other hand, says it reminds her of a Moroccan riad. Either way, it's lovely.
There is a high brick wall on one side of the courtyard and a wrought-iron gate leading out onto the grass, and looking back towards the first floor of the house are the gorgeous, original wooden window-frames. Small Union Jack pennants are strung up across the courtyard to remind Lucy and Struan of home.
Lucy tells me that home for her is the Isle of Wight, and having been there myself as a child I assume that it would have been wonderful to grow up there.
"Goodness, no! It was terribly dull when I was a teenager," she says. "Of course, I love it now that I'm an adult."
Watchful Eyes
Do you ever have the sensation that you're being watched? Well, while I am chatting to Lucy, I get that feeling. Then I spot a cherubic little face peering down at me from the original Chinese air-vent above.
"Oh, that's Alec," explains Lucy, as a little hand begins to wave at us from the lap of the family helper.
Alec is Lucy's 15-month old son and according to his mum he often sits up there with Maisie, keeping watch on the goings-on below.
We troop up the staircase to meet the little man himself, and to take a look at his wonderful bedroom. In one corner sits an old-fashioned pram, which looks like a prop straight out of Mary Poppins.
"My brother was pushed around in that pram as a baby … and he is nearly 50 years old!" says Lucy. She adds that she has taken Alec out in it a few times, but found it difficult to manoeuvre compared to the modern super-buggies.
"I also had people coming up to me saying how much they liked my antique!"
Down to Business
Besides the obligatory collection of soft toys and teddies, Alec also has a splendid four-poster cot filled with fabric accessories, care of his mum's new company, Ruby Slipper.
Despite its name, Lucy assures me that her business has nothing to do with slippers or shoes of any kind. Instead, she sells a collection of soft furnishings and accessories made of pure linen and Egyptian cotton. "When I first got to Singapore, I couldn't find any linen that I liked, and anything that was decent quality was horrendously expensive. So I decided to make my own," she explains.
Her designs are hand-embroidered in Vietnam, on cotton from Egypt and pure linen from China. "People are often put off when they hear that the linen comes from China, but in fact its quality rivals the stuff made in Italy," she says.
Lucy sells her products at fairs – including the popular Shophouse Fair, which is held on the last Thursday of every month – but she has also launched a new website where customers can order online.
The top floor of the house, where the shopkeeper's family would have once lived, is a showroom for Lucy's wares. Her cushion covers, duvet covers and other soft accessories are primarily white, accented with coloured embroidery. The stitching is immaculate; for such excellent quality, I find the prices surprisingly low.
If you peer out of the window, there is a great view of the courtyard below and also of a large chimney jutting out of the rooftop on the first floor, which would have had a functional purpose in days gone by. Lucy admits, however, that this is one area she would like to renovate: "I'd love to turn the rooftop into a chill-out area where I could enjoy a G & T in the evenings."
We agree that Singapore is a wonderful place for reinventing oneself. The former PR executive says that she would hate to go back into the corporate world and is thoroughly enjoying her new business venture.
"Because I work from home, I am able to spend time with Alec," she says, and since the playroom doubles as her study she can build her business empire from there, while Alec gets stuck into his crayons beside her.

Hi Isaac Roybal here. I'm a technical product manager on the Windows Server team covering Hyper-V.
It's been 3 weeks since the release of Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and we're seeing great adoption. From a Hyper-V point of view, we're excited because the final Hyper-V release is an integrated feature in SP2 making it easier and faster to deploy Hyper-V. If you recall, when Windows Server 2008 was released, Hyper-V Beta was included. This meant to get the final Hyper-V release, you needed to go to Windows Update, download and go through the update process.
With Windows Server 2008 SP2, Hyper-V final bits are included so there's no need to pull down individual downloads which speeds up deployments. There are also some notable updates in SP2, including scalability enhancements for running on systems with up to 24 logical processors which enables support for up to 192 running virtual machines, update for Hyper-V when managed with System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 and updates for backup/restore of virtual machines with the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
For those of you who have already deployed Hyper-V, SP2 is a simple upgrade. Here are a couple of top-of-mind things to think about when you're planning your upgrade or fresh install of SP2:
· In-place upgrades of Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 SP2 is supported for both the parent partition and child VMs.
o If the Hyper-V role was enabled on the parent partition prior to the upgrade to SP2, it will be automatically enabled once the upgrade is completed.
o Uninstall any prerelease versions of SP2 that might be installed.
· If a fresh SP2 install is being done and you'd like to move VMs to it, export the VMs from the originating Windows Server 2008 host and import them on the SP2 host.
· Integration Components (ICs) for the child virtual machines must be updated to the SP2 version.
o If you're doing a fresh install or an upgrade of SP2 on the parent partition, it does not update the integration components inside the virtual machine. Be sure to update the VM ICs after SP2 is installed.
o If you have virtual machines created on the Beta version of the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V role, and you installed the Beta version of the integration components on those machines, you must uninstall the integration components and reinstall the latest SP2 integration components.
o When upgrading to SP2 inside a Windows Server 2008 child VM the ICs are automatically upgraded.
o If you are running a supported Windows operating system other than Windows Server 2008 as a VM, you need to use vmguest.iso to upgrade the integration components
UPDATE. Responding to question by Ed051042
Yes, your assertion is correct. Follow these steps when upgrading a cluster to SP2:
1. Evacuate the cluster node of VMs via quick migration (assuming you've extra capacity) to other nodes in the cluster.
2. Upgrade the node to SP2 while it is still part of the cluster
3. Once the SP2 install is complete, quick migrate those VMs back to node and update VMs' ICs. The last bit is important.
4. Follow the same process starting step #1 until entire cluster had been updated to SP2
For more info see KB 174799 which outlines how to install SPs on a cluster and Microsoft's Failover and Network Load Balancing Clustering Team Blog which explains a rolling upgrade of a cluster.

The U.S. Armed Forces consist of 1.4 million active front-line personnel and an additional 1.1 million active reserve personnel, distributed between the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard and Coast Guard. The President of the United States is the principal decision-maker for military actions and strategy.
Each of the main branches of the military is further divided into an active branch and a reserve branch. Reserve personnel are individuals who generally work civilian jobs but who have volunteered to serve military duty as needed.
As of 2015, the United States operates over 6,000 tanks, 41,000 armored fighting vehicles and 1,000 land-based multiple-launch rocket systems. Over 13,000 individual aircraft, including between 900 and 1,200 attack helicopters, make up the total air power of the United States. The Navy operates 473 individual vessels; 20 of these are aircraft carriers, 62 are destroyers and 72 are submarines. These figures include inactive vessels.
The U.S. Armed Forces consume an estimated 19 billion barrels of oil every day. Yearly military expenditures made by the U.S. government exceed $500 billion dollars per year, or just over 4 percent of annual GDP. In addition to conventional fighting forces and units, the United States military also has access to a stockpile of 9,400 nuclear warheads.

PSY's been describing his international hit song "Gangnam Style" as being able to "Dressy classy, dance cheesy." In the world of classy, you can't get any classier than Jill Stuart and her brand. And in the world of dancing cheesy, you can't get any cheesier than PSY's invisible horse riding dance for "Gangnam Style."
In this collaboration video with JILLSTUARTNEWYORK and PSY, the Gangnam-style Korean pop star displays what an American version of "Gangnam" may be like. You get to see the Gangnam-native wine and dine with New York's elite. The fancy outfits, venue, people and PSY strutting down the cat work are something to behold. But of course, this wouldn't be a PSY video unless you've got people doing that "horsey dance." And in end, of course the "dressy classy, dance cheesy" master does this thing. There's a reason the original music video has now hit over 300,000,000 million views on YouTube.
Can you picture yourself being able to dressy as classy and dance as cheesy as PSY? Watch the new video below:

At this stage of painting the Mendenhall Glacier I started to layer dots over most of the canvas. Doing this will allow me to evaluate the total composition, and establish color values. I'm beginning with the mid tones, and will add the darks and lights after all the mid values have been painted.

Public access to information is critical to promoting peaceful and inclusive societies
This is an important week: it marks both International Right to Know Week and the week of the United Nations' summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda.
At this meeting, The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are expected to be adopted. Among these goals is Goal 16, Target 10 – to ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements.
Inclusion of this target recognizes that incredible progress has been made on the right to know--over one hundred countries worldwide already have made significant progress towards achieving this target and other countries are actively discussing the passage of access to information laws--and that there is still more work to be done.

In some ways, they are. But really, the price is just okay. Now, unless you foot for the entire bill, that is an entirely different story.
We ordered Irie Grilled Chicken Jambalaya which is like paella but with so many Chinese sausage and chicken this is absolutely worth it.
I recommend you go for their PHP380.00 serving because believe me, it can accommodate up to 5 pax. Funny thing was, my wife and I finished it all by ourselves.
And we also had that Ummmami Burger to contend with so it pretty much left us very full. The Ummmami Burger's patty is thick but not as big though as those of TGIF's.
For PHP358.00, this is fairly overpriced.
Don't miss out the Irie Grilled Chicken Jambalaya. I guarantee this will put a big smile on your face. And wallet ;).

By Christopher Conover and Andrea Kelly Arizona Public Media
Democrat Ron Barber has more cash on hand in the Congressional District 2 election than his opponents, the latest Federal Election Commission reports show.
Barber has money left over from the special election that got him to Congress last month, even after he spent more than $1 million on that campaign.
He can spend that leftover CD8 money on his campaign for a full term in the district, which is now called CD2.
Federally required financial reports for the three-month period of April, May and June 2012 show that Barber ended June with about $194,500 in cash. He spent nearly $1.2 million in the three-month period and raised $649,687.
Matt Heinz, Barber's opponent in the Aug. 28 Democratic primary election, raised $33,755 in the same span, spent $68,527 and ended with $42,263. His report also shows about $3,000 in debt.
Heinz suspended his campaign during the CD8 special election after Barber announced he was running in that race.
Republican Martha McSally outraised Heinz, with $246,401. She spent $160,494 and has $134,570 in cash, with $6,217 in debt, her campaign finance report shows.
Like Heinz, McSally suspended her campaign after losing the Republican primary to Jesse Kelly in CD8 in April. In June she raised $102,637.
Republican Mark Koskiniemi's congressional campaign has not filed a financial report since he began running for office in February. A report is not required unless a candidate plans to raise and spend more than $500 in calendar year.
Barber's campaign finance reports correspond with different dates and are due on different deadlines than the other candidates because of the special election for CD8.
In order to compare his fundraising and spending with the other CD2 candidates whose recent reports reflect April through June finances, Arizona Public Media calculated Barber's spending and fundraising during April, May and June.
His campaign spending is much higher than the others in the race, because he was ramping up his campaign for CD8, while the other candidates had months to go before primary Election Day, Aug. 28.
There is also a stark difference in the amount of money Barber, Heinz and McSally got from political action committees.
Barber got the committee money, with $255,649 from committees, 97 percent of which came from committees outside of Arizona.
Heinz did not take in any donations from PACs. McSally raised $32,750 from committees. Of that, 26 percent came from committees outside the state.
Barber raised $349,038 from individuals. Most of that, $324,726, came from Arizona residents. He received 932 donations of $250 or less, for a total of $133,735 smaller sized donations. He brought in $132,503 from 217 donations in the range of $251 to $1,000 each. He raised $127,800 from 56 donations that were $1,001 or more.
He raised $4,330 from 18 donations of $250 or less, $20,950 from 32 donors who each gave between $251 and $1,000, and $4,000 from three donations of $1,001 or more.
McSally raised $14,415 from 66 donations of $250 or less, $58,788 fro 85 donations in the middle amount, and $112,278 from 47 donations of at least $1,001 each.
Of the money McSally received from individuals, $142,000 was from Arizona residents. Arizona residents gave Heinz $22,800.
