Don't Lock Up Status Offenders
Although the rate of youth incarceration is declining nationally, there are still too many youth who are locked up for behavior that should not be considered criminal. Too often, nonviolent status offenses, such as skipping school or running away from home, get youth in trouble simply because they are minors.
For example, in West Virginia, an astounding 40 percent of all juvenile court referrals are for the status offense of skipping school. In the last decade, the state's punitive approach to truancy has led to a 255 percent increase in the number of youth removed from their homes for missing school.
Studies have shown that detaining children for status offenses puts them at risk of physical and sexual assault, causes long-term trauma, leads to deeper involvement in the justice system, and fails to address underlying issues that led to the offenses.
The American Civil Liberties Union, a Public Welfare Foundation grantee, has been working with local groups in West Virginia, including the ACLU of West Virginia, to address this issue. Recently, the ACLU advocated successfully for a new state law that requires community- and school-based interventions for youth before they can be referred to juvenile court for being truant. In addition, the new law doubles the number of unexcused absences that land students in court.
West Virginia is not the only state wrestling with this issue. A new report by another grantee, Coalition of Youth Justice, based in Washington, DC, shows that more than half of the states allow children to be detained for repeated status offenses.
The report, Status Offenses, A National Survey, found that only a handful of states, including Washington, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Colorado, accounted for a majority of cases of youth being detained for status offenses during a one-year span, mostly from 2010 – 2012. However, judges in 26 states and Washington, DC can legally detain repeat status offenders.
Still, the report notes that, like West Virginia, states are increasingly recognizing the importance of seeking community- and school-based responses to youth misbehaviors, rather than detention.

Singer/Songwriter LeRoy Johnson was born at Charity Hospital in the city of New Orleans, sometime in the late 1950's or early 1960's (we think).
In 2005 Hurricane Katrina flooded the hospital, and it's record room, causing many old files to go unrecovered and the hospital to remain closed to this day.
What happened to young LeRoy Johnson after those early days in New Orleans has always been a mystery. Until now. Now, freshly out of prison (after 20+ years), with no shortage of rumor and gossip, this mystical musician, who has impacted fans worldwide, is looking for his story to be told to a few final audiences before he heads home for good.
By influencing other musicians, artists and politicians, LeRoy "Phat Trane" Johnson has managed to quietly nudge his way into American culture. Hear some of the famous songs and the stories behind them in this new show by Playwright Brandon Sharkey debuting at the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival, a show called "Phat Trane: FOUND".
"Phat Trane FOUND" will run from June 1st-23rd as part of 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival. The show will be performed at The Three Clubs in Hollywood. (1123 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90038)
For more information visit PhatTraneFound.com. Tickets will be available May 1st, 2018 at http://hff18.org/5105

During sawing of silicon wafers for the photovoltaic industry, the variations in temperature will influence the process performance and surface quality of the wafers. To investigate the significance of this effect, the temperature field and heat transfer have been studied experimentally and computationally. Among others, it is found that the temperature typically can increase from 30 °C at the inlet to 65 °C at the outlet of the sawing channel. It is also shown that viscous dissipation is by far the most significant heating source in the process.

There is no one moment that encapsulates Harry Kane's 2017. There is no one goal, no one game. There is not even a single stretch of games, or a lone characteristic or attribute. And that's exactly what has made Kane's year so outstanding.
The English striker beat Burnley with his seventh hat trick of 2017 on Saturday, and in doing so equaled Alan Shearer's record for most Premier League goals in a calendar year with 36.
Kane got No. 34 from the penalty spot. He calmly placed No. 35 past Burnley keeper Nick Pope after the Clarets' defense graciously opened up for him in the second half.
He drew level with Shearer at the end of a brilliant sequence that started with a tackle, continued with a smooth first touch, and ended with a clinical left-footed finish.
That's the thing about Kane. He's so much more than just a goalscorer. He's irreplaceable in Tottenham's attack because of his ability to link up with teammates; because he can be both field-stretcher and target man; because he can create for others.
And yet his goalscoring numbers are still mind-boggling.
They're the best numbers England has seen in some time. Saturday was Kane's 15th multi-goal game of 2017 for Tottenham, and 17th including internationals. He's scored 53 goals in all competitions, an extraordinary tally for a player who three years ago was branded a 21-year-old one-season wonder.
Kane and Tottenham had Burnley, previously one of the best defenses in the Premier League, bamboozled. They missed plenty of chances, just as so many others have against the Clarets this season, but created enough to render the misses irrelevant. And once they got Kane on the end of a few, they were cruising to three points.
Kane will have one more match to break Shearer's record, on Tuesday at home against Southampton. And if you watched him Saturday, you'd be bold to suggest he won't eclipse it.

After years of extensive touring, Seattle band Ivan & Alyosha released a new album called All the Times We Had. The group celebrated its release by hanging with DJ Cheryl Waters earlier this year and playing a live set at the KEXP studios. "I want to be the man who understands his woman and you know she do right by me. Do you understand?" sings lead vocalist Tim Wilson. "And I want to be the boy who gets you all the little pretty things in your magazines. Oh, it's such a joy!" Rich with jangly guitars, pulsing kicks, and floating harmonies, "Be Your Man" is a song you can't help but tap your toes to and elicited from an ecstatic Cheryl Waters: "That was incredible! More, more, more!" And fans around the country can here more for themselves as Ivan & Alyosha is currently touring around the country. And you can hear more right now:

Finally under 'Places', list any special characteristics about the place. For example, consider whether any of the following descriptions apply.

On Monday, new rules from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) went into effect, hereby banning sales of e-cigarettes to minors, HealthDay reports. The new mandates also apply to:
- Cigars
- Pipe Tobacco
- Hookah Tobacco
"Youth use e-cigarettes more than any other tobacco product on the market today, serving as an entry point to more traditional tobacco products and placing kids at risk to the harms and addiction of nicotine and other tobacco products," said Harold Wimmer, national president and CEO of the American Lung Association. "Ending the tobacco epidemic is more urgent than ever, and can only happen if the FDA acts aggressively and broadly to protect all Americans from all tobacco products."
Making it more difficult of teenagers to acquire e-cigarettes is of the utmost importance. After decades of labeling marijuana the "gateway drug" that leads teens and young adults to try other more dangerous narcotics, it is now widely agreed upon that both alcohol and nicotine products are the first addictive substances that teens use. Those who use nicotine at a young age are at an exponentially greater risk of using harder drugs. Naturally, this often leads to teenage substance use disorders which, if left untreated, can be the beginning of years of illness and heartache.
If you have a teenage daughter, ages 13 - 17, who has been abusing mind altering substances, please contact Cottonwood Tucson. Our Sweetwater Adolescent Girls Treatment Program was created to assist teenage girls and their families recover and make necessary changes to improve the quality of their lives.

*Cracks knuckles* I must warn you people, I just re-watched Star Date and Bye-Bye Sheryl, so I might be a bit brutal here. Also, I'm so high on painkillers right know that I'm surprised if I manage to find my brain.
I say that it's at least a month (4 weeks = 4 = Quart/Quad/Tetra = Quarter = 25 = 25th anniversary) for symmetry, but I could see that even with folding, the sheer distances covered could easily make it into four months. Either case, it was long enough for Alto and Sheryl to become very familiar and comfortable with one another.
And no, Alto didn't reach into Ranka's soul. He simply appeared in the Vajra network along with Sheryl. Notice that even Brera appeared in the network, and he was the one who encouraged Ranka after she started singing and they both broke the mind control.
The fact that Alto after about 25 episodes (give or take a few scenes) finally decides to acknowledge Ranka's feelings shouldn't be taken as pro-AruRan. If anything, it should be the opposite.
About Alto surviving; since the first episode, we've seen him think quickly on his feet when in mortal danger. Adding the fact that he's naturally creative, and backed up by Klan, I don't see much problem with him bailing on a failing VF and surviving.
This is especially prominent when we saw the reactions to WoG's posters; everyone could readily believe that once more, Ranka would devolve into a middle school magical girl, while Sheryl would step up as the Goddess of War. Most promotional art played to these reactions with showing Ranka in this cotton candy cupcake theme, or rather, in the Jewelpet-style (seriously, look at Ranka's promos and then watch an episode of Jewelpet Tinkle, same saturation, sparkles and sugary sweet wonderland).
But the biggest problem isn't merely that Ranka and Akari could fill in for one another (though Akari is less self-centred and more willing to sacrifice her dreams than Ranka is), but that Ranka refuses to grow out of her childishness.
Watch Star Date, as Michael tries to point out the same thing as Ozma did; Ranka is unable to become a songstress. And the most damning part of this, is that Michael folds when Ranka sings at the mall, thinking that her love of music was enough for her to burst forth from her shy shell. In reality, Ranka was about to give up and cry until she sees Alto's paper plane.
She then lucked out that there was a group of people who was testing instruments at the music store and decided to play along (even then, Sheryl's popularity indirectly helped her, as What 'bout My Star was popular enough for the musicians to pick up in the middle of her song).
And lets not kid ourselves, the ending is a non-ending because of the upcoming movies.
More elaborate answer: Paraphrasing a direct translation of Klan's words "Is that Alto's love?" The subject of Alto's love is never clarified, but personally I think it's love of Frontier that's foremost in his thoughts in that scene (since he offers to kill a friend if they threaten Frontier). However, my opinion is not shared by many others since the statement is so vague. In court, it would be like trying to convict someone of swindling by recording them saying "This is awesome!". Not a very good piece of evidence.
Sheryl is clearly down the Nile when it comes to people's feelings for herself. She thinks that it's all pity now when she's terminally ill. It never occurs to her that Klan and Luca might look at her in a friendly, instead of pitying, light. Luca clearly doesn't want to kill Sheryl, and proposes the use of medicine to prolong her life, something she takes as pity and throws in his face (Be heartless to the very end).
Which is why she didn't want Alto to know, because now she's second-guessing all his motives, even when he does everything he can to show her otherwise. Which is where him barging into her make up room comes from. He might die, Sheryl might die, lets clear up this mess at the very least. And she counters him before he's able to speak because she's so unable to see clearly due to her illness. Sheryl knows that she comes with baggage, and her way is to release Alto from his promise and send him to a girl who might have less (of course, anyone who isn't dying because space bugs are attacking their brains knows that Ranka's situation is worse, if anyone on Frontier is capable of behaving logically).
Sheryl is no reliable narrator when it comes to Alto's feelings. Alto, when it comes to romantic feelings, gunned for Sheryl ever since Star Date (he doesn't even get why Michael brings up Ranka in context of Star Date afterwards, yet he still finds the earring and runs to Sheryl, in which we have a very cute scene of Alto blushing and trying to comfort Sheryl, yet at this point of the series, he didn't know how).
Really bad.
And if Ranka couldn't get this by the time the last quarter of the episodes started, she really did not have a place in a series in which aerial crafts featured prominently.
Um, that's what I was able to cobble together, but excessive use of painkillers and wall of spoiler tag text of obscure to non-existent AruRan worship kind of threw me off so I probably did not make much sense.
Anyway, anyone want to talk about the AruSheri cuteness in Bye-Bye Sheryl? Just the right amount of awkwardness (they aren't familiar yet with one another), playfulness, heart-to-heart and unstated worry ("Be sure to return it!") and struggle with the upcoming separation (if Galaxy had indeed been saved and Sheryl finished her goodbye concert, it would have been Bye-Bye Sheryl) to convey chemistry between two characters.
In fact, if you discard the preconceived notion that it's Macross, so there has to be a love triangle, and that Ranka is clearly designed for marketing (Cartooning 101: make your character so unique that they can be recognised by just their silhouette. 2008 anime-ing 101: Moe, and green hair, capitalise on K-On and Code Geass), you could say that the contest was over right then and there (friend-zoning Ranka). Or at the very least, Sheryl pulled ahead by Macross-lengths.
But we can do story and character analysis to get to a clear conclusion about what was most likely to happen after the closing credits. And that analysis points clearly to Sheryl and Alto continueing on with their life together, while Ranka looks in from the outside, at least romantically.
For Ranka to have a serious chance again, she first would need to upgrade her maturity level to be competitive with Sheryl, i.e. change over her personality to movie!Ranka. That takes time. Time in which the SherylxAlto relationship would also be on-going.
There is of course the chance for some sort of disaster to befall Sheryl, so that she is out of the picture for a prolonged period and Ranka gets her chance to play catch-up with Alto.
Spoiler for movie:
But in the normal course of things, Sheryl and Alto have already moved so far beyond Ranka in levels of maturity and their relationship that it is simply not possible anymore for Ranka to catch up to them.
And even then. She'd still have to pry Alto away from Sheryl. Which means playing homewrecker. Do you honestly think Ranka as a person would be capable of that, both in the realms of courage and decency?
Clearly we need to get Irisiel on painkillers as many times as possible, that was an excellent reply. As always. :)
I do remember that I think Westlo said that a lot of Ranka shippers were ready to give up already after this episode. :p
And, about the scenes you point out in the series and the second movie as being similar, those are what's normally referred to as homage. You know, like a lot of scenes and situations from the series itself. Even you cannot say that the happenings were exactly the same, or the results. That's a lot of reaching, you're doing, and it's not really working.
So, another load of reaching, as you cannot seem to make a single good point.
Spoiler for 2nd movie:
Yep, pretty bad. Landslides and flash-floods and the like. Some places are worse than others, but even where I live - where the tropical climate is very even most of the time - it's still bad. And it's supposed to be summer, here.
And Elazul brings up a very nice point: the notion that Kawamori could be bullied by fan expectations is something quite unimaginable to me. Why do people enjoy fantasizing so much?
too bad kawamori did not make any birthday scene in the series or in the movie..
"ALTO falling from the SKY"
Spoiler for spoiler:
BEST PRESENT 4 ALTO : - if u know what i mean...
BEST PRESENT 4 ranka :
I think they missed that homage scene from oldie Macross entirely.
- Tak
It's one of the things that makes AruSheri work; they're not completely defined by one another. Separated, they're strong, together, they're unstoppable. When Alto has a moment of hesitation it is Sheryl who tells him that it's her life to throw away if she so wishes, and he, while he doesn't accept that she should have to die, accepts her decision and becomes the support needed to see it through.
Missing Hikaru's salute, however, I don't even know how. I mean, it's right before Minmay's "wings" movement in Do You Remember Love.
Alto has... um Michel and Luca!
Edit: It doesn't. Last thing he appears he's battered and fighting (movieverse). Good!
But are you sure about Mikhail's death not being showed in the Nyan Nyan Clip? I remember that they show it in the last song when Sheryl and Ranka are singing at Mihoshi academy, hmm I need to watch it again.
Not like with Roy (who ends up dead either way *sighs*) where his death is addressed in two songs (Love Drifts Away and Do you Remember Love?).
Still, it makes little difference, as Alto and Sheryl clearly had enough time to become comfortable with each other. Just not long enough for Alto convince Sheryl that he isn't doing it out of pity. And Sheryl is stubborn when she's made up her mind, so he has his work cut out for him.
Anyway, one interesting aspect of Star Date and Bye-Bye Sheryl is how Alto reacts to the date after the date.
One theory held forward by AruRan shippers is that starry-eyed Alto (Pfft! Even Sheryl realised that he treated her like anyone else) only put up with Sheryl because she's famous/rich/pretty, but if that was the case, wouldn't there have been a little bragging (remember, Alto is a bit sensitive about being seen as a man at this point in the series), especially since Michael tries to encourage it? All Alto had to do is to snap back a comment about at least he doesn't have to fail getting dates with a hundred women before getting one, without even implicating Sheryl.
Instead he's embarrassed and wants the matter dropped. Then we move to the next scene, in which Nanase has dragged out the boys to congratulate Ranka:
Nanase is overly excited and hyper and OMG! This is so great!
Luca mirrors Nanase because of his crush.
Michael is supportive and happy for Ranka.
Alto is the least interested of the lot.
Then Alto lies and says that he was alone at the mall, which is easily glossed over, except that lies takes more brain power than truth. So which scenario do you find believable:
A) Alto is savvy about show biz and knows that if it's known that Sheryl "Galactic Fairy" Nome and Alto "Sakura-hime" Saotome dated, there would be scandals, and his quiet life would be disrupted and Sheryl, who is still at the whim of the paparazzi and fans, have to counter it.
B) Alto doesn't want Ranka to know that he went on a date with Sheryl.
C) Alto has a small attraction towards Sheryl, but knows that she'll soon leave and doesn't want to start the media circus such a rumour would cause for a relationship that wont go anywhere.
D) Any combination of the above?
Considering how he acted afterwards with the earring (he was on duty, and shouldn't have left Quarter [which is why Michael and Ozma are cross with him before sortie], yet he did, which is why I think Sheryl ranks higher than his duty and Frontier, because he repeatedly breaks both promises and duties if it's for Sheryl, even this early in the series), I almost have to say A and C. He couldn't tell Michael, who told him that he saw Sheryl with him, that he wasn't with Sheryl, but he'll be damned if he'll admit it to anyone else.
But he also wont expand too much energy on denying it either. If Ranka admitted to seeing Sheryl with him, then he'd probably tell her that Sheryl was with him.
It's really fascinating going back like this and pick up on the little things Alto does. Especially when you realise that he must have a reason for doing them (heck, we eat because we're hungry; Alto lies because he knows that the consequences will get out of proportion; Luca fanboys over Ranka because Nanase fangirls).
And one of these days I'm going to do that mammoth essay on Frontier and post it because I have a thousand little things to point out and discuss.

Friday, 17 August 2012. Page 55 - Inside Football
In today's "Inside Football" article, Rob Tanner reviews former Leicester City manager Martin O'Neill's 25 years in football management.
However, according to Mr Tanner ," O'Neill moved on in 2005 to manage Celtic"... but most records indicate that he left Leicester City on 1st June 2000 to go to Celtic where he remained until the end of the 2004/05 season.
Was he only on loan at Celtic or has the Mercury's football expert got it wrong again? - You decide!
(Thanks to Sam for spotting this clanger.)

Today I go the way of a comic panel card from the recently released 2015 Rittenhouse Avengers Silver Age: Archive Cuts. The set is based on Marvel's Silver Age books, which ran from the mid-50s to the early-70s. The base cards are illustrations from a specific book that corresponds with the card so card #1 is from Marvel Avengers #1 and so on.
This card is a cut card, which is made up of a panel cut from a Silver Age Avengers comic book and framed. The Rittenhouse cards are still new but do not seem to be as popular as Upper Decks Marvel comic panel cards which is fine with me because where else can I get a cool panel that includes both Captain America and Wasp for under $7 shipped?

Reservation Policies
Policies at Our Lakeside Resort in Ohio
The Lakehouse Inn is the perfect choice for an Ohio weekend getaway, romantic vacation, or other special occasions. We offer a variety of lodging accommodations including our eight B&B guestrooms, cottages, and a beach house. Since we are located on the southern shore of Lake Erie, you can stay with us and get in plenty of fishing.
Our lovely inn was built in the 1940's as a small and cozy getaway on the Shores of Lake Erie. Though small and intimate, we are big on charm and hospitality. I hope you take note that throughout your stay that our furniture, décor and even the bathroom fixtures, though new, have been chosen to keep them to the time period the Inn was built and to fit with what we are – cozy, comfortable, charming and family oriented. The Inn originally had a few more bedrooms than what you see today but rooms were combined to create some of our beautiful Suites and to also ensure that each room would have its own private bathroom. Our bathrooms were constructed to provide what was essential and to infringe as little as possible on the bedrooms so that the bedrooms would still be cozy and comfortable. You see, the bedrooms of the Inn were originally built to house a full-size bed, which back in the 40's was the large bed of the day, but we have upgraded our bedding to have either queen or king size beds in the rooms which take up more floor space, but we want our guests to have a bed that is similar to what they sleep on at home so that everyone enjoys a comfortable night's sleep. With a smaller footprint in the bedroom, we have created a cozy and inviting spot to relax in the Great Room where you can curl up with a book in front of the fireplace in the fall or winter or relax and enjoy a glass of one of our wines in the spring and summer on our porch. No matter the season, the Lakehouse Inn welcomes you to take time for yourself to just relax or spend some time getting caught up with friends or that someone special in our cozy and inviting inn.

I see that you are having an issue with customers of yours that are using IE 11 (and possibly earlier) where they cannot type in the inputs.
When I tested this I found I am able to replicate this issue but it's only happening on your form.
From what I can see so far it appears to be something incorrect with the styling on your form because when I tested it on a brand new form the issue didn't occur.
Please allow us some time to look into it more to try to help fix it for you and we'll respond to you again as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.
I found this problem was occurring due to a padding issue in the formatting of your textboxes because of the size of your form. So I have fixed it with some minor css coding to make it fit.
Updated Version of your Form - https://form.jotform.com/60564626399972 [clone me!]
Here's the newly Injected CSS Code below if you would rather just add it to your current form.
.form-textbox {
height : 29px;
padding : 0px 0px 0px 0px !important;
If you take a look at this screenshot below you'll notice your form looks the same but the difference is that with this padding adjustment for the textboxes you can now type and see your typing properly when using it in IE as normal.

Children's Book drawing needs to be edited
Bajet $10-30 USD
My son drew an illustration for my children's book cover. I need someone to copy it, color it and make it eye catching and popping with color and place it in an electronic format so that I may use it to raise funds for publishing my children's book. I will retain all the rights to this design though. Thank you.
It is just one drawing that I will scan and need you to make it come alive with color etc. and make it look professional. Then send it to me in an electronic format. I don't have a lot of money as I will need to raise money to get the book published so please keep that in mind. I need someone who can do it for $10. I am not a cheapskate, I honestly just don't have the money, but need help with this. Thank you for understanding.

The A/C is out. I am exceptionally grateful that it is overcast and rainy today. The house, however, is covered on the inside with a thin film of moisture and even the floor when I walk across it feels sticky and damp. I don't mind the temperature, but I do not like the wet, tacky feeling.
The kids have not complained. In fact, my oldest only complained about being cold this morning when all the windows in the house were open. It was 76 degrees inside. She put on a fleece jacket. The neighbor loaned us a couple of tower fans, and the moist air is at least moving around inside the house. Other than the dampness, it is very comfortable. I am thinking about turning the a/c off more often and opening the windows. I am enjoying the company of robins and goldfinches during the day.
Home repairs, however, are one of those places where I am out of my league. I feel I have mastered a good deal of the single parent role over the past two and a half years. I have learned to do a lot of things I did not have to do before, and most of them have become routine. I don't think about them any more, I just get them done. Home repairs, however, still fill me with a level of anxiety that I find uncomfortable. I know I lack the knowledge necessary to ensure that a repair person will not take advantage of me. I am hesitant about hiring people, not at all confident in my ability to sort through Angie's List entries and shake out the gold nuggets from the sand. I am certain that my irritation and trepidation do not help my cause.
Unfortunately, home repairs will continue to be needed. Maybe in another two and a half years this, too, will have become one of those routine things that gets done without a thought. For now, I will have to push my anxious feelings aside and make some calls. It's only an a/c unit. We'll be okay.

(Part thirteen of a sequential tour narrative. Go to April, 25 2009 to start at the beginning.)
We made it to Park Avenue CDs in plenty of time for our in-store performance. Turns out, there was another act on the bill and we had their whole set to decompress before taking the stage. There was a great turnout for the in-store... at least triple the size of the Auburn show which put things into some kind of demented perspective. I purchased the CD/DVD of Crack The Skye because I needed to learn lyrics and watch the "making of" footage. At this point, I was dorkin' out on the new Mastodon, big time. The folks at Park Ave. were very nice and gracious. They had snacks and beer for us when we arrived and they later sent us on our way with a ton of beer and Vitamin Water! Tim played acoustic, I played direct through the P.A., and Sam played floor tom and snare. It worked out really well, I think. We went straight to Will's Pub to load in.
Here's and example of why the iphone lies: We searched the internet for Will's pub. We hit the "Get Directions" button that plugs the coordinates straight into your iphone map app. We typed in "current location" and it told us where to go. What the computer age didn't know was that Will's Pub burned down last year and that there is a new Will's pub in a new location. The address the internet/liephone gave us was a brand new medial facility built atop the ruins of the old bar. Luckily, the new Will's was on the same street in Winter Haven and we made without too much cussing.
The show in Orlando turned out to be one of the best of the tour. Matthew Butcher opened the show and delivered a great performance. A couple other bands played and then we had a great set. I met Kevn Kinney after the show and we had a nice conversation about southeastern rock and roll in the 80's and 90's. He has played my hometown (Charlotte) many times over the years which led to a discussion about the city's big clubs of yesteryear, The Pterodactyl, 4808, and The Milestone.
There was a huge crowd out for this show, despite there being several festivals going on in Orlando that weekend. Our dinner at some family oriented fishmonger was good. I had a ton of shrimp and gallons of sweet tea. Sam and I stayed at some motel. The next day, we left Orlando early to try and do some scenery lameness in St. Pete's. Tim and Sam wanted to visit the Dali Mueseum so we liephoned its location. Once inside and faced with a steep entry fee, I dug deep and asked myself if I cared enough about Dali to pay a lot of money to see his art. Myself told me that I didn't so I made a couple of phone calls and sightsaw instead. Visual (2D) art is a tricky one for me in that I'm not interested in the majority of media, genres, and styles. I love photography and I find many styles of painting appealing, but I feel like I've seen enough of Dali's work on refrigerators and dormroom walls to satisfy the need to see a visual representation of Pink Floyd's "Meddle." That's a bit of a generalization, isn't it? That's right, it is.
We then drove to Clearwater in search of the beautiful white beaches full of sanddollars, palm trees and bikini-clad women tanning themselves beside coolers full of cold beer. Wrong. We first got to Indian Rocks Beach which reminded me of some of the more residential beaches I have visited in my life and therefore, a nice calm place to chill on the beach. Instead of stopping there, we drove north to Clearwater proper to a public beach full of people I'd rather not see in bathing suits. After about 45 minutes, we split in order to find a snack and a beer. We found both at a bar nearby and we consumed $2 Pacifico, oysters and shrimp while a cover band played Eagles songs on the patio of the bar next door. Ahhh, beach life. Cold beer, tourists, flip flops, good food, cover bands... wait, that kinda sound like Austin.
The show in Tampa was at a bar called New World Brewery. It didn't seem to be a normal venue because as we arrived, the soundman was assembling the P.A. on the covered brick patio in the courtyard. That's fine, whatever. "Last show of the tour, let's have fun." I drank plenty of free beer and was nice and toasty when we went on. There were some great moments in the set because Sam and I were both throwing caution to the wind and cutting loose. It was a good way to end and we went back to Orlando after the show, looking forward to the next day. Our plan was to go to the beach and decompress and then go into the studio Tuesday relaxed and record many of the newer jams we had played on the tour. However, this was not to be so. The heavens decided that this was the week that Florida would drown in torrential rains. Bummer. Good thing our hotel was attached to a mall...

Smart marketers understand that traditional marketing is becoming less and less effective by the minute, and that there has to be a better way.
Enter content marketing.
But what exactly is content marketing?
Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.
Content marketing's purpose is to attract and retain customers by consistently creating and curating relevant and valuable content with the intention of changing or enhancing consumer behavior. It is an ongoing process that is best integrated into your overall marketing strategy, and it focuses on owning media, not renting it.
Basically, content marketing is the art of communicating with your customers and prospects without selling. It is non-interruption marketing. Instead of pitching your products or services, you are delivering information that makes your buyer more intelligent. The essence of this content strategy is the belief that if we, as businesses, deliver consistent, ongoing valuable information to buyers, they ultimately reward us with their business and loyalty.
And they do. Content marketing is being used by some of the greatest marketing organizations in the world, including P&G, Microsoft, Cisco Systems, and John Deere. It's also developed and executed by small businesses and one-person shops around the globe. Why? Because it works.
Check out a few samples of Brand Content we're created for clients like you.
BRAND SNAPSHOT: Stein Mart, a boutique-style men's and women's department store chain based in Jacksonville, was founded in the early 1900s. Currently, there are more than 266 locations in 29 states, while the company reported $1.26B in sales for the current year.
DOING IT RIGHT: Several factors make Stein Mart unique in the retail sector — 1) A pricing strategy CEO Jay Stein references frequently: "What built this company was values every single day." 2) A long-standing personal shopper program — "Boutique Ladies" — normally reserved for high-end retailers.
IN SHORT: Stein Mart goes beyond traditional customer service. This test campaign aims at leveraging those tenets.
SWEET SPOT: The "Boutique Ladies" concept is the absolute pinnacle of customer service. It's white glove and it's as post industrial as it gets. It connectsbrand to customer in a powerful way that is reflected in Stein Mart's growth.
CROSSING THE STREAMS: Despite the huge value Stein Mart's "Boutique Ladies" brings, two new ideas could generate remarkable lift.
One, while the core demographic of a Stein Mart shopper may skew older (45- 65), that customer — the one who wants designer clothes at affordable prices — is always keeping an eye on what the younger generation(s) are wearing. They may not shop at a Forever 21 or an H&M, but they pay attention to those fashions.
Secondly, there is an online world of personal shoppers — "Boutique Web Ladies" — who write voraciously about fashion in blogs and on social media. They show their followers how to shop while often getting free clothes from designers and manufactures in hopes of being featured.
CAMPAIGN FOCUS: Using a local fashion designer — Sally Ann — as a test, a "Boutique Ladies 2.0" campaign modernizes the customer/brand relationship that Jay Stein has masterfully built. This campaign resets a fresh and current approach to engage loyal Stein Mart shoppers while creating relevance for a new demographic.

Listening is one of the hardest skills to master. Martial arts classes offers kids an ideal space to develop and refine their active listening skills. Students must have their ears peeled throughout class to keep pace, follow the instructor and take constructive feedback.
Students who listen reap the rewards of achieving their next belt. When they pay attention to details from their instructors, they are more likely to rise up the ranks.
Individuals need to believe active listening is a crucial part of their job, Bloomberg reported. It requires being fully present and ready to respond at any moment. If students anticipate the next move, they may miss a step.
Gap Psychology recommends individuals limit their talking and turn off all worries. If people are focused on other matters, they can't fully engage in the content or the person's body language. Forbes suggests that students try to visualize what the speaker is saying, either by constructing a literal picture or imagining abstract concepts.
Without listening, students may fall behind in not just martial classes, but in building relationships, solving problems, understanding others and resolving conflicts.

For the sixth time in as many years, the UC Davis Medical Center has earned the "Most Wired" designation as one of the nation's top leaders in information technology. The 2016 award is based on a national survey conducted by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, a publication of the American Hospital Association.
The annual assessment looks at how hospitals use information technology to complement their patient safety and quality-of-care priorities as well as their public health, administrative processes and workforce decisions. For this year's awards, 680 hospitals and health systems participated in the survey, representing more than 2,100 hospitals, which is nearly 34 percent of all U.S. hospitals.
This year's designation follows numerous other IT awards honoring the university's clinical and research enterprise on its Sacramento campus, including "Most Connected Hospitals" designation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report. In 2013, UC Davis received a Davies Enterprise Award of Excellence for distinction from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society for its early adoption of electronic health records (EHR) and associated technologies to improve clinical quality and cost efficiency.
"UC Davis has realized significant returns on its clinical-technology investments," said John Cook, interim chief information officer for the UC Davis Health System. "There have been savings gained and costs avoided over the past few years, and similar benefits are expected in the coming years because of UC Davis' EHR and related technologies."
With a fully deployed EHR used to support and provide all types of clinical care, UC Davis Health System has launched a number of innovative quality-improvement programs that were not possible prior to the arrival of this modern EHR platform. One example was a special project to address sepsis, a serious complication from infection that requires hospitalization for more than a million people a year. A multi-disciplinary group at the medical center created a new clinical workflow and changes in the electronic health records system — based on evidence-based best clinical practices — that enabled clinicians to better control sepsis infections. Additionally, routine information available in a patient's EHR has significantly reduced ICU ventilator-associated pneumonia rates and ICU central line bloodstream infection rates as well.
"By continuing to embrace new technology, we have made tremendous advancements in improving both cost and clinical workflow efficiencies," said Ann Madden Rice, chief executive officer of UC Davis Medical Center. "UC Davis Medical Center's ongoing recognition as one of the country's 'Most Wired' hospitals clearly reflects our commitment to deploying cutting-edge information technology and the adoption of best practices to provide the very best in patient care."
UC Davis is one of just 17 institutions in California to receive the Most Wired award this year. The honor will be formally presented at the annual Health Forum and American Hospital Association Leadership Summit July 17-19 in San Diego.
Background on Most Wired
Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, a publication of the American Hospital Association, compiles its "Most Wired" list annually using survey results from hospitals and health systems throughout the United States. Participating organizations are surveyed for use of IT in four focus areas: Infrastructure; Business and Administrative Management; Clinical Quality and Safety (inpatient/outpatient hospital); and Care Continuum (ambulatory/physician/community). Organizations whose responses reflect core development across all four areas are designated as "Most Wired." A full list of award winners can be found online at www.hhnmag.com.

Samantha Brown's Favorites Shoot
Last year, I was able to negotiate with my client at the time the opportunity for Samantha Brown to film an episode at WDW (as well as the Seasons of Disney episodes). You're welcome. Here's a pic of the prod crew (with yours truly). Look how many folks it takes to produce this show in the field. Cool thing was, Samantha remembered me at the Discovery upfront a few months later. She's super cool and way down to earth. These were taken backstage at Animal Kingdom, January 2008. Can you tell I'm from the Midwest?

Best stovetop espresso maker reviews
I consider myself a bit of an espresso connoisseur, because I love espresso and have tried many espresso machines and coffees. In this article I will review the best stovetop espresso makers.
The Italians call espresso from stove top espresso makers Moca. So don't be confused, if you come across the term.
Best stovetop espresso maker
There are many fancy espresso makers on the market. Having tried them I still keep coming back to my trusty Bialetti. It is low maintenance, easy to use and makes the perfect cup time after time.
The way you use it is to fill the lower half with water up to the mark. You put your grounds in the upper container. You join the two halves. Then you put it on a low setting flame and wait for it to make a gurgle sound. This gives you have a traditional espresso which is much better than the ones from the Cafe or an espresso machine.
I enjoy camping and I have found using this espresso maker on a camp fire, is as easy as using it on a stove.
Just about every Italian family owns one of these Bialetti espresso makers.
Premium stovetop espresso maker
This one is very similar to the one above and it's made by the same company. This version is made from stainless steel while the version above is made from aluminum. Making this one expensive, but also more durable.
Some people also prefer the round shape to the octagonal one.
I found this espresso maker a bit easier to clean than the traditional model.
Traditional italian blends
Now I'm not a snob. There is nothing wrong with using a coffee blend from Duncan Donuts to make a fine cup of espresso. But just to know what it tastes like, you should also try at least one traditional Italian blend.
With many espresso roasts you get a burnt taste, not with illy. Everyone I've made an Illy espresso for says the flavor is much better than espresso from coffee stores.
Lavazza Caffe Espresso
They make several coffees. I am only recommending the espresso one. It's not for everyone, it's heavier slightly bitter but also slightly chocolaty. I love it, so probably worth trying.
Stovetop espresso maker tips
Here are some tips to help you make the perfect espresso consistently.
- The smaller smaller stovetop espresso makers make better espressos. The taste is just a little off with the 20 cup espresso makers.
- Never wash your espresso maker with dish washing liquid. Just rinse it clean.
- Don't put your espresso maker in the dishwasher.
- If your tap water is over chlorinated, used bottled water instead of tap water.
- Don't compress the coffee.
- You have to use the machine often to make good coffee. If you haven't made one in a while, make a weak coffee. Throw that out and then make a real one.
- Heat the coffee at a very low heat setting. It's ok if it takes 10 minutes to do.

If you enjoyed best stovetop espresso makers review you should also read best single cup coffee makers review.
A brief history of coffee
As far as we know the history of coffee only goes back to the 15th century. Just think of all the centuries before that. People had no coffee at all. I guess they drank water, which is just not as good as coffee.
The stimulating affects of coffee is thought to have been discovered by an Ethiopian tribe. From there coffee spread to Egypt and Yemen. Their neighbor Arabia soon found out about the coffee plant. In Arabia coffee beans where first roasted and ground up, much as they are today. By the 16th century it was being drunk all over the middle east. Shortly thereafter it spread through Europe and the rest of the world.
At one point the Middle Eastern nations where exporting coffee to the West, but the West didn't have any coffee plants to grow their own. Nicolaes Witsen, the enterprising mayor of Amsterdam and member of the board of the Dutch East India Company acquired some plants in Yemen. Soon the Duth East India Company was supplying most of Europe's coffee. The weather in Europe wasn't great for growing the plants. They fixed the supply problem by outsourcing the farming of the plants to Ceylon Sumatra and other Sunda islands. The Dutch gave coffee plants to the French from where it spread to the French colonies.
The coffee plants grew the best in Brazil. For many decades in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Brazil was the
biggest producer of coffee and a virtual monopolist in the trade. You still get a lot of good gourmet coffee which comes from Brazil. The Brazilian monopoly was finally broken because of Brazil's policy of keeping coffee prices high. This allowed other countries to get into the market with cheaper coffees.

Various Artists- Sea Monsters 3
An early highlight comes in the form of LUO's "Fears" which twins gentle piano with glitchy electronics and comes across like a stripped down THREE TRAPPED TIGERS. "Aquarius" by SOCCER96 is a more intelligent take on the EDM scene which is currently dominating the charts complete with keyboard sounds inspired by retro arcade games. The highlight of disc one, however, are NEGATIVE PEGASUS and THE PHYSICS HOUSE BAND with "Natural Jazz" and "Abraxical Solapse" respectively. Both bands have completely different yet equally brilliant variations on the psyche genre with "Natural Jazz" displaying a clear ONEIDA influence which sets expectations high for the follow up to last year's brilliant "Looming". On "Abraxical Solapse", the highlight from their debut EP "Horizons/ Rapture" THE PHYSICS HOUSE BAND mix math-rock and free jazz into their psyche melting pot to create a truly unique sound. The disc concludes with the angular post-hardcore of BROKER and, probably the best known act here, GNARWOLVES playing pop-punk the way it should be; loud, fast and fun.
Disc two starts with a hip-hop double bill from SUAVE DEBONAIR and RUM COMMITTEE, both acts perform with the requisite energy and swagger but the lounge jazz backing track on RUM COMMITTEE's "Bar After Bar" clinches the deal. The brilliantly titled "Hard Being Strange" by PLASTICINE provides a light-hearted take on indie while LOOSE LIPS' "Dr Evil" recalls a time when emo wasn't a dirty word which suggests a diet of early-TAKING BACK SUNDAY and pre-reunion BLINK 182. The stripped back 90's indie of "Little Rope" isn't the most original of sounds but TIGERCUB pull it off well enough and, with a grunge revival in full swing, they seem ideally placed to gain momentum in the coming months. Out of the bands showcased on disc two, though, it's ABI WADE who proves the highlight with her simple singer-songwriter material uplifted with subtle electronic touches and a cello. As is always the case with compilations like this, the quality varies from track to track but if you keep your finger hovering over the skip button on your stereo, there are hidden gems to be dug out whatever your musical taste. (6/10)

The region referred to as "the powder keg of Europe" was the Balkans in the early 20th century before World War I. Along with growing nationalistic movements declaring themselves independent countries, a number of European nations claimed influence and territories in the Balkans.
Much of the area in dispute was former territory of the declining Ottoman Empire. Nations that declared independence just before the turn of the 20th century included Greece, Serbia, Romania and Montenegro. In 1878, Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia, and in 1908 it annexed Bosnia, provoking outrage in Russia and Serbia. The Ottomans complicated the situation by recognizing Austria-Hungarian control after getting paid for the territory. In October 1912, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria and Montenegro started the First Balkan War to exploit the Ottoman Empire's weakness and gain territory. Argument over the spoils ignited the Second Balkan War. During these conflicts, Serbia strengthened itself as a national power.
The spark that ignited the powder keg was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. A Serbian assassin shot him as he toured the city of Sarajevo, Bosnia, in an open car. Confident of German support, Austria-Hungary submitted a list of retaliatory demands on Serbia, and when all the demands were not met, they declared war. Due to a complex web of alliances such as the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy, and the Triple Entente of Great Britain, France and Russia, all of these countries and eventually the United States were drawn into the bloody conflict that became World War I.

The logo decision, the idea of going global and corporate and bland, is done. I'm not going to waste any more time on this...Let them do what they want.
Before I let this go, though, I'd like to share some things that come to mind when I reflect on what is so sad about this transition. If I had to sum it up, mainly what I see is that Starbucks to me represents the ultimate human brand, and now they just seem completely cold and greedy.
So here goes.
Here's a bunch of memories, of watching people interact:
* A group of elderly men sitting on the barstools, huddled together, talking. Something about how Starbucks is more fun than religious services. Which their wives prefer.
* A couple dressed in outrageously amazing Greenwich Village nightclub wear--in the suburbs among the hockey moms at 9 o'clock on a weekend morning.
* A little boy sipping his Kids' Hot Chocolate, a total "I'm-in-heaven" look on his face.
I've been well-treated by Starbucks' baristas:
* Advised that the new Frappuccino was susceptible to tasting bad if it was mixed wrong. Took back a half-drunk drink and made a new one.
* Not advised, despite all caloric logic to the contrary, to refrain from ordering whipped cream and chocolate syrup with my Java Chip Lite Frappuccino.
* Requested breakfast sandwich not on the menu (bagel/egg/cheese), received same, didn't have to pay extra even though the barista threw away an English muffin. All handled on a busy Sunday morning AND was only charged for one sandwich.
It hasn't always been THAT nice:
* Had a coffee slammed down on the counter in front of me after waiting 10 minutes...and told I shouldn't be reading the house copy of the New York Times unless I bought it!
Oh well.
Assorted good memories:
* Vacation days sitting there doing nothing but reading
* Charging up the laptop and blogging
* Studying the menu board and picking out interesting new coffees
* Standing in line for a nice hot cup before work
* Delighting my mom with a case of Frappes. Seeing the huge smile pour across her face.
I have to say, I will miss this brand when it goes so fully corporate, global, and bland in the name of global expansion. It represented something to me that was very real and down-home. It was one of those brands I identified with and took to heart. Their entire philosophy of how to treat employees and customers alike resonated with me in every way. And they turned me into a coffee fanatic.
Nothing is permanent, all good things must come to an end, and so it goes.
Target's decision to do exactly the same thing - get rid of the name, keep the icon - is just fine with me. In fact I know it's a good thing. But Starbucks I will miss.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Jordin Ereth brings us up to speed on the storylines he's watching Sunday when the Hawks travel to San Francisco, to take on one of the three NFC West leading teams. Coming off a huge win against the Patriots, Seattle looks for another win against a team incredibly similar to their own. Will Russell Wilson pave the way to another win?
What I'm watching for Thursday in the 49ers vs. Seahawks match up
2012 NFC West Know your enemy – San Francisco 49ers weapons
NWSB Insider Reggie Gill brings us his first 2012 KNOW YOUR ENEMY pre-season post. This first topic focuses on the 2012 NFC West division champs the San Francisco 49ers. Reggie's five 49ers weapons are Randy Moss, Vernon Davis, Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree, and Alex Smith. He then goes on to say the Seahawks can stop them with Red Bryant, Bruce Irvin, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman and K.J. Wright.
Moments In Time: Seattle Seahawks vs. 49ers 2010
Seattle Seahawks nostalgia in this weeks Moments In Time. In 2010, the 49ers came to Qwest Field to play the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 of the season. Pete Carroll is named the new head coach after letting Jim L. Mora go after just 1 season. Mike Williams had 4 catches for 64 yards and John Carlson had 3 grabs for 36 yards. Just Forsett had a big game.
State Of The Seahawks: Weekly Notebook | December 22nd
State of the Seattle Seahawks. Brett B our man with his pulse on the Seahawks football beat is back with another edition of the Notebook. The December 22nd, 2011 edition. This week the Seahawks face their NFC West rivals the San Francisco 49ers. The big question on the minds of Seahawks nation this week is can Marshawn Lynch, Justin Forsett, Leon Washington or Michael Robinson score a TD vs. the vaunted 49ers run defense.
