Southampton CEO Martin Semmens admits that Saints are looking at extending the current contracts of some of their first team players as they try to avoid a similar situation to last summer.
Saints lost three of their key first team players from last season in the summer transfer window as Ryan Bertrand left to join Leicester City on a free transfer at the end of his contract with Southampton, while Danny Ings and Jannik Vestergaard were both sold to Aston Villa and Leicester respectively, having entered the final year of their own deals with the club.
As a result, Saints went into the transfer market to sign replacements, with Frenchman Romain Perraud joining from Stade Brest to fill the void left by Bertrand's exit, while striker Adam Armstrong arrived from Blackburn Rovers to replace Ings and Brazilian defender Lyanco signed late on in the window after Vestergaard's departure.
But Semmens has admitted that Southampton are keen to avoid a similar situation, having not expected Ings to leave in the summer, while he said that Saints are reviewing player contracts at the moment.

And he has hinted that there could be "one or two" new deals announced by the club in the near future to follow in the footsteps of Saints captain James Ward-Prowse, who signed a new five-year deal in the summer.
"That is always one of those classic situations where you think, ok we've done that and dealt with it, and then in six months time, it comes up again, because they run down. So around this time of year, we do look at it," Semmens told the Total Saints Podcast.
"There are one or two we are looking at at the moment and it is always important to extend.
"But yes, we are certainly in a much better position than we were this time last year and there are fewer pressing issues. You might see one or two across the next couple of months."

At present, Jan Bednarek, Kyle Walker-Peters, Romain Perraud, and Adam Armstrong are tied down to deals until 2025 with Ward-Prowse and summer signing Tino Livramento contracted until 2026.
The club also have eight players on deals until 2024, including Stuart Armstrong, Ibrahima Diallo, Che Adams, and Mohammed Salisu.
Goalkeepers Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster both have deals that are set to expire next summer, although speaking to HampshireLive earlier this year, Hasenhuttl confirmed that one of the two will leave next summer with the other being handed a new long-term deal.
McCarthy is understood to have agreed terms to stay with Saints beyond next summer, although this has not been confirmed by the club just yet.

Defender Jack Stephens, who is currently out injured, is another player who is understood to have agreed terms on a new deal, but this has also not been confirmed by Southampton as yet.
Striker Shane Long is another player who is out of contract next summer, although his future is more uncertain having found his game time limited in recent seasons.
Several other players, including Mohamed Elyounoussi, Nathan Redmond, Nathan Tella and Moussa Djenepo, have deals that are set to expire in the summer of 2023.

Gun dealer's son versus the NRA
By Julian Pecquet - 09/10/13 09:52 AM EDT
© Greg Nash
Five months after the Senate dealt a major blow to President Obama's gun control agenda, Mark Glaze makes it clear the battle is far from over.
The executive director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns is making his case to the press on a recent Thursday morning. From there, he's racing to the White House for a meeting with Vice President Biden's chief of staff, Bruce Reed. Then he's got to prepare for his trip to Colorado, where New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I), the group's co-founder, is spending $350,000 to stop Tuesday's NRA-inspired recall of two state legislators who voted for gun restrictions in March.
It's all in a day's work for the 42-year-old head of an association that has emerged as the National Rifle Association's biggest foe.
"Stopping the NRA in its tracks, where it's gutting laws that make sense both in Congress and in the states, is job No. 1," Glaze said in a recent interview with The Hill.
Bloomberg formed Mayors Against Illegal Guns seven years ago, along with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, to showcase how elected officials can run and win on gun control. After working for the group for a couple of years as an outside lobbyist, Glaze took over the organization shortly before the January 2011 Tucson, Ariz., shooting that injured former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and killed six others.
The group, which now boasts more than 1,000 members and 1.5 million grassroots supporters, has launched a multipronged strategy that includes lobbying, research, media outreach, public campaigns and leveraging Bloomberg's $25 billion fortune.
"These are all the necessary ingredients to changing the way Congress treats the issue," Glaze said.
He has the ideal background to take on the NRA.
The son of a licensed gun dealer from Colorado, he grew up steeped in the nation's gun culture deep in hunting and ranching country. He attended high school in Pueblo and moved on to Colorado College, a progressive liberal arts school in El Paso County.
"Two of the places I spent the most time as a kid are now ground zero for the recall efforts that the National Rifle Association and others are focused on," he said.
Glaze had planned to go for his Ph.D. but changed tack after a 1994 internship with former Rep. David Skaggs (D-Colo.). Fascinated by politics and convinced of the need for Democrats to forge alliances with the other side at the height of the Newt Gingrich era, Glaze headed for law school at George Washington University.
After a couple years working for what he calls a "soul-crushing law firm" in New York City, Glaze returned to Washington, and in April 2002, became one of first employees of the Campaign Legal Center. He ended up running the communications program for the campaign finance reform organization and was on its legal team when the Supreme Court upheld the McCain-Feingold act's ban on "soft money" contributions in the face of a challenge by Sen. Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellMcConnell: Trump 'on to something' with attacks on Dem congresswomen Dems open to killing filibuster in next Congress Senate passes bill making hacking voting systems a federal crime MORE (R-Ky.), now the Senate minority leader.
Glaze credits his years with the center for teaching him how to build support for reforms that have broad bipartisan appeal but face powerful interest groups on the other side. Working with the center's founder, Trevor Potter, who was the legal counsel for Sen. John McCain John Sidney McCainMeghan McCain promotes July 17 as #GBMday to raise awareness of father's cancer The peculiar priorities of Adam Schiff Ocasio-Cortez fires back at Lindsey Graham: 'Graham wants to bring back 1950s McCarthyism' MORE (R-Ariz.) during his 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns, he got a first-class education in Washington's power levers.
"I was always kind of fascinated by the mix of things you need to do to make anything happen," he said. "You need to know the players, the personalities, the policy, the law, the interest groups and the media."
Glaze sees similarities between the post-Watergate era, when voters clamored for cleaner politics and ushered in a new class of elected officials pushing campaign finance reform, and the recent rash of mass shootings, particularly the Newtown, Conn., shooting last December that left 20 children and six educators dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"When you have a couple of dozen people murdered in the space of minutes, it rivets the public's attention on a problem that they see in miniature every day but did not have a reason to think of the sheer scope of the problem."
Since the Sandy Hook shooting, Glaze's group has redoubled its efforts to paint the NRA as out of touch with the American public and even its own membership. He said about 90 percent of Americans support background checks of the kind the Senate defeated in a 54-46 vote in April, including 74 percent of NRA members. But the gun lobby itself, he said, has become extreme.
"The business model of the industry has to be to sell more and more guns to the same set of people, in fact, a set of people that is shrinking," he said. "To do that, they have regrettably gotten into the business of creating fear and anxiety where none need exist."
The NRA says it's looking out for gun-lovers' Second Amendment rights. The gun lobby has described Mayors Against Illegal Guns as a deceptively "anti-gun" organization to foist Bloomberg's "nanny state" agenda on the country.
"Beholden to nothing except his own ambitions, the mayor has established himself as a kind of national gun-control vigilante," the NRA wrote in the April 2007 issue of its news magazine, America's 1st Freedom.
Glaze said the gun control movement is ascendant despite the Senate vote.
Bloomberg's vast personal fortune has helped: The mayor spent $8.1 million last year through his Independence USA political action committee to defeat pro-NRA lawmakers, such as Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.), succeeding in three out of six races. Earlier this year he spent $2.2 million to ensure Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) beat former Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.) for the seat vacated by former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
On the other side of the ledger, Glaze said he has personally pressed Democratic donors in places like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to make guns an issue next time Democrats from rural states come calling. In June, Sen. Mark Begich Mark Peter BegichAlaska political mess has legislators divided over meeting place Former GOP chairman Royce joins lobbying shop Lobbying world MORE (D-Alaska) canceled a fundraiser after Bloomberg asked hundreds of donors to shun him and the other three Democrats who voted against background checks: Max Baucus Max Sieben BaucusOvernight Defense: McCain honored in Capitol ceremony | Mattis extends border deployment | Trump to embark on four-country trip after midterms Congress gives McCain the highest honor Judge boots Green Party from Montana ballot in boost to Tester MORE (Mont.), Heidi Heitkamp Mary (Heidi) Kathryn HeitkampTrump nominees meet fiercest opposition from Warren, Sanders, Gillibrand McConnell's Democratic challenger McGrath backtracks on Kavanaugh comments McConnell's Democratic challenger says she likely would have voted for Kavanaugh MORE (N.D.) and Mark Pryor Mark Lunsford PryorMedicaid rollback looms for GOP senators in 2020 Cotton pitches anti-Democrat message to SC delegation Ex-Sen. Kay Hagan joins lobby firm MORE (Ark.).
"Politics being what it is," he said, "when you have the attention of people who have money and fund campaigns, you really have got your hands on one of the final pieces of the puzzle to changing an issue."
The group is also spreading its message across the country.
A "No More Names" bus bearing the names of the thousands of Americans killed by guns since the Sandy Hook shooting has toured 25 states and arrives in Washington, D.C., in the next few weeks. And the group is pushing states to adopt tougher background checks, with recent victories in Colorado, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland and New York.
The top issue remains federal background check legislation, Glaze said. His group is also pushing to give the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives more resources to regulate gun laws.
"We're in this for the long haul," he said. "We have had some victories, and they're starting to accelerate. There will be some setbacks, and some of them will hurt. But sooner than people think, the gun lobby is going to realize that you can't ask elected officials to deny 90 percent of the public forever."

Q: Rails make database mysql I'm using Rails 3, and Ubuntu. I want to change the default Rails SQLite3 into a mysql database. I ran these commands:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev
sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby1.8

These were successful. Then I did this in the gemfile
#gem 'sqlite3'
gem 'mysql'

This worked, now, what else should I do to complete the MySQL setup. I know for one the database.yml needs to change, but how does it need to look for Ubuntu and how do I fill in the parameters?

A: Your config/database.yml must look like :
base: &base
  adapter: mysql
  username: YourUserName
  password: YourPassword
  host: localhost
  encoding: utf8
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000
development:
  database: YourApp_dev
  <<: *base
test:
  database: YourApp_test
  <<: *base
production:
  database: YourApp_prod
  <<: *base

A: Is the database on the same host?
You need to log into mysql, set a user, create a database.  If the database is on a database server, outside of the application server, then you will need to make accessible from the net.
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/BFROOT/www/Computing/Online/Databases/CfgDB/CfgDB-MySQL-Setup.html
After you're done setting up the database (not just installing it), then you're database.yml files need to be modified per the above.

Q: How to rotate image automatically in Matlab? Currently, i'm working on an offline signature verification. So, what i want to do now is to find the specific value of rotation for that particular signature image. In this case, i want to normalize the baseline of the signature along with the horizontal axis:
.
I've tried to do some coding,
v1(1) = column2 - column1;
v1(2) = row2 - row1;
v2(1) = column2 - column1;
v2(2) = row1 - row1;
x1 = v1(1);
y1 = v1(2);
x2 = v2(1);
y2 = v2(2);

dotproduct = (x1*x2 + y1*y2);

v1mag = sqrt(x1*x1 + y1*y1);
v2mag = sqrt(x2*x2 + y2*y2);

costheta = dotproduct/(v1mag*v2mag);
angle = acos(costheta);

angleDeg = rad2deg(angle);
angleDeg = uint8(angleDeg);
angleDeg

%B = imrotate(invImg,-(angleDeg),'bilinear');

As you can see from the coding, variable 'angleDeg' holds the value of rotation angle. Before, I've used imrotate() MATLAB but the problem is that I must input the value of the angle manually instead of calling the variable of 'angleDeg'. Is there any other method/algorithm to rotate an image by calling the variable that holds the angle value beside imrotate()?

A: Why do you need to input the angle manually?  Why do you cast angleDeg to uint8?
By the way, the function regionprops can give you the 'Orientation' of the connected component in a binary image, i. e. the angle between the major axis of the component and the horizontal.

The D-backs don't have a lot of history to draw from, having played their first season in 1998, but they have had some memorable moments. Chief among them is the 2001 World Series championship, which the D-backs won in a thrilling seven-game set with the Yankees.
Two of the key players from that team, Luis Gonzalez and Randy Johnson, were the first to have their numbers retired at Chase Field.
Randy Johnson - #51
Randy Johnson became the first player to be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame wearing a D-backs logo. The 10-time All-Star ranks second on the Major League strikeout list with 4,875, and holds nearly every major career pitching record in D-backs' franchise history. Johnson won 4 career ERA crowns (3 with Arizona) and 9 strikeout titles (5), tossed a perfect game on May 18, 2004 vs. the Braves in Atlanta and a no-hitter on June 2, 1990 vs. Detroit. He was named co-MVP of the 2001 World Series.
Hall of Fame Induction: 2015
Number Retirement: Aug. 8, 2015
Luis Gonzalez - #20
Luis Gonzalez is the franchise's all-time leader in nearly every offensive category after an eight-year stint with the D-backs from 1999-2006. Gonzalez leads all D-backs' players in games played (1,194), hits (1,337), doubles (310), home runs (224), walks (650), runs (780), RBI (774), at-bats (4,488), total bases (2,373), slugging percentage (.529) and on-base percentage (.391). The outfielder represented Arizona in the All-Star Game in 1999, 2001-03 and 2005 and is most remembered for hitting a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series to give the D-backs their first World Championship.
Gonzalez compiled a .283 batting average, 2,591 hits, 354 home runs and 1,439 RBI for six teams during a 19-year career from 1990-2008. With his 596 career doubles ranking 15th in baseball history, he is one of only 17 players in Major League history to collect at least 2,500 hits, 500 doubles, 350 home runs and 1,000 RBI.
Jackie Robinson - #42
In 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African American man to play in the Major Leagues.
Number retired throughout baseball in 1997.
Played for Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947-56.
From his Baseball of Hame Plaque: "Leading NL batter in 1949. Holds fielding mark for second baseman playing in 150 or more games with .992. Led NL in stolen bases in 1947 and 1949. Most Valuable Player in 1949. Lifetime batting average .311. Joint record holder for most double plays by second baseman, 137 in 1951. Led second baseman in double plays 1949-50-51-52."

Hi Elaine, Wandered back to your site to let you know that Doug Reese's siblings, myself and Kenny are going to Vietnam this August. Several of Doug's nieces and nephews are going, too. Nhung has kept Doug's tourism business alive to some extent under a different name & LLC. Nhung is finishing her bachelors degree in accounting and so is very busy, but she somehow does this too! Samantha An, now 5 (!) is adorable & smart . . Doug would be very proud of her and certainly he is smiling down on her. She is the very best of him and Nhung.
Anyway, we are going to Vietnam! And we are excited. Better late than never.
This trip made me think of you and I was wondering how you and your family are doing. Certainly I hope all is well and everyone is healthy and happy. Doug counted you among is treasured friends and I know you felt the same. God Bless.
Thank you so much for the beautiful email with news of your upcoming visit to Vietnam and update on Nhung and Samantha. I had to read it twice, because the tears were distorting my vision — happy tears. I miss Doug and all our conversations — he was such a good friend, loved his family — I am certain he has a big smile on his face, as he looks down at Nhung and Samantha. He always knew she could do it.
Please have a wonderful time in Vietnam — you will feel so close to Doug, and he would be so proud of your efforts. During our countless conversations, Doug spoke of his siblings and loved you all.
Happy New Year. Again, thank you for reaching out.
I am so proud of Nhung!! Please let her know.

Senate Democrats raise questions about EPA nominee's ethics disclosures
By Johnathan Hettinger/Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting | January 15, 2017
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt
Senate Democrats have raised questions about the nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency. In separate letters to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics and EPA, the nine senators from the Environment and Public Works Committee asked for more information about Pruitt, saying that his ethics and financial disclosure agreements ignored key areas of concern.
Pruitt, who was infamously caught sending letters drafted by the fossil fuel industry to the EPA and other government organizations as attorney general, has strong ties with political contribution campaigns, like the Liberty 2.0 PAC and the Republican Attorneys General Association, but did not list them on his ethics forms. Pruitt also served as chairman of the Rule of Law Defense Fund until last week, but the senators said that he did not give enough information on the activities of this organization.
Each of these organizations has ties to the fossil fuel industry, which is regulated by the EPA. The senators sent a letter Thursday to the OGE asking the office to disclose any information Pruitt gave about the donations given to these organizations, promises he made in return for donations and any gifts, including chartered flights, Pruitt may've received from these organization's activities.
The senators said this previous work could have a role on Pruitt's conflicts of interest, even if he has no personal financial interest.
"During his tenure as Attorney General of Oklahoma, Mr. Pruitt has blurred the distinction between official and political actions, often at the behest of corporations he will regulate if confirmed to lead EPA. While the disclosures Mr. Pruitt made to OGE may be sufficient to ascertain his personal financial conflicts of interest, they do not document conflicts he may have as a result of political activities," the letter read.
Additionally, in his role as attorney general of Oklahoma, Pruitt is currently suing the EPA, alleging that it overstepped its bounds with the Clean Power Plan, which requires states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Senators sent an additional letter Thursday to the EPA's ethics office asking for more information, saying Pruitt didn't go far enough in his ethics agreement.
While Pruitt pledged to consult the ethics office for one year before being involved in the lawsuit he filed on behalf of Oklahoma, the senators called it "little more than pro forma" and asked for more information about the types of conflicts that may exist. These questions included the extent of the power of the ethics office, how other types of conflicts of interest would be handled (including litigation involving his co-plaintiffs in lawsuits), why Pruitt's recusal was only one year, among other questions.
"We are committed to protecting the integrity of the EPA. All Americans should have confidence that EPA 's decisions are made transparently, without favor to political donors, and by an Administrator who is committed to protecting the prerogatives and mission of the agency, not those suing it," the letter read.
The letters are from nine of the 10 Democrat senators on the Environment and Public Works Committee, including Tom Carper (Dem. – Delaware), Ben Cardin (Dem. – Maryland), Shelden Whitehouse (Dem. – Rhode Island), Jeff Merkley (Dem. – Oregon), Kirsten Gillibrand (Dem. – New York), Ed Markey (Dem. – Massachusetts), Cory Booker (Dem. – New Jersey), Bernie Sanders (I - Vermont), and Tammy Duckworth (Dem. – Illinois). California Senator Kamala Harris was the only Democratic member not to sign the letter.


Shortly after releasing a bunch of software updates for their cameras and lenses, Sony releases some more to fix some of the reported problems. There are now firmware updates for six of their cameras: A9, A7rII, A7sII, A7II, A6500, and A6300. They are aimed at fixing the overheating issue that was recently reported, as well as the so-called "Star Eater" issue.

Aurora Resurgence announces sale of LandCare to company management
jkmitta August 2, 2019 13 views
Daily NewsDaily Two News0 Comments13 views 0
Aurora Resurgence, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm, announced that it has sold LandCare, a leading national provider of landscape maintenance services, to the company's management team and a small group of investors led by Scott Brickman, former CEO of the Brickman Group. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Since being acquired by Aurora Resurgence, LandCare introduced a new management team in 2014, led by current CEO and former Brickman EVP Mike Bogan. Under Bogan's leadership, LandCare restructured its operations and rebranded in 2015, leading to significant revenue and profitability growth over the past four years. Today, LandCare is one of the most comprehensive providers of commercial landscape services in the United States.
"We are pleased with the impressive turnaround that LandCare realized over the past five years," said board member Sean Ozbolt, on behalf of Aurora Resurgence. "Its success provides testament to how our investment process and partnership approach drive significant financial improvement and deliver strong value for our investors, the company and its customers and employees."
"LandCare has quickly established a model corporate culture that has positioned it as the employer of choice in the landscape services industry," said Andrew Fohrer, board member of LandCare.

We are excited to leave LandCare in their hands and watch its continued growth."
"With Aurora Resurgence as a partner, we have been able to rebuild LandCare from the ground up, creating one of the leading landscape services companies in the United States," said Bogan. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity, in partnership with an industry veteran like Scott Brickman, to continue leveraging our passion for landscaping and customer service to build upon our recent growth for our customers and hardworking employees."

We've been tracking gold stocks for some time and the breakout happened today, following a 3.02% move in the gold bullion (GLD).
The Fidelity Select Leisure (FDLSX, up 1.24%) fund continues to hold in a bullish trend above it's 100-day moving average. So does the Biotechnology fund (FBIOX, up 0.96%).
Markets surged around the globe on hope that the European Union will help Greece manage its growing debt burden. Interestingly, the biggest Fidelity fund gainers on our watch list were the Fidelity Select Air Transportation (FSAIX, up 4.37%) and the Fidelity Select Transportation (FSRFX, up 3.57%).
The Fidelity Select Medical Equipment fund (FSMEX) is one of the few funds finishing higher today in a weak market. Although the fund is above it's 100 day moving average and one of the strongest amongst sector funds, the price pattern has not turned bullish yet.
The Fidelity Real Estate fund (FRESX) is down 2.63% after the close. Real Estate Income (FRIFX) is weakening too, but still stays in uptrend.
Quiet and low volume day in the markets as the snow storm hit the East Coast. Market indeces closed flat or moderately lower, so did most Fidelity funds we track.

Jennifer Hudson's sister begs for missing son's return
NEW: "I don't care who you are, just let my baby go," Julia Balfour says
Officials say Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother shot multiple times
FBI joins search for Julian King, 7, who went missing after shooting
WLS says William Balfour is in custody but stepson Julian not with him
Next Article in Entertainment »
CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- The sister of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson made an emotional appeal Saturday for the safe return of her 7-year-old son, who disappeared after a double shooting Friday on Chicago's South Side.
"All I ask, I don't care who you are, just let my baby go, please," Julia Balfour, Hudson's sister, said at a news conference Saturday night. "I just want my son."
Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were shot to death Friday in their home. The child, Julian King, has been missing since.
Hudson was said to be in Chicago on Saturday night but did not attend the news conference. The missing child's father, Greg King, attended but did not speak publicly.
Earlier Saturday, Julia Balfour's mother-in-law said that police had questioned her son, William Balfour, in the slayings.
Michele Davis-Balfour insisted that her son had nothing to do with the shootings and urged the public to focus on finding the missing boy.
"Out of no means did my son do this. This heinous crime to this family is unbelievable. It's unbearable," Davis-Balfour told WLS in Chicago.
"Whoever has Jennifer Hudson's nephew or Julia Balfour's son, please, I'm begging you, me and my family are begging you to return that son." Watch Davis-Balfour's emotional appeal »
Police issued an Amber Alert for Julian and asked residents to look out for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859.
Julian is described as being 4 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 130 pounds. He was wearing a striped brown polo shirt and khaki pants when last seen, authorities said in the Amber Alert.
CLTV: Killings shatter actress' Chicago sanctuary
WLS reported late Friday that a suspect, whom it now identifies as William Balfour, was in custody but that the boy was not with him when he was detained.
Chicago police spokesman Daniel O'Brien would not comment on whether a William Balfour was in custody or whether police had questioned a man by that name.
"Police have and continue to speak with numerous" people, O'Brien said. He said no charges had been filed against anyone in connection with the murders. Watch the police news conference »
William Balfour says on his MySpace page that he is married to Jennifer Hudson's sister Julia and has a stepson.
"I might as well let you all know that Jennifer Hudson is my wife's sister I'm proud of her and wish her nothing but the best in what she do," he wrote.
According to the Illinois Department of Corrections, Balfour, 27, is on parole. He spent nearly seven years in prison for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possessing a stolen vehicle.
His MySpace page also says he lives on Chicago's South Side.
Deputy Police Chief Joseph Patterson said the bodies were found about 3 p.m. Friday (4 p.m. ET), when a relative arrived and found the body of a woman on the living room floor. The relative backed out of the house and called police, Patterson said. Authorities found a man shot to death in a bedroom.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said Saturday that Donerson and Jason Hudson suffered multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the deaths homicides.
The FBI is working with Chicago police to find Julian, Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis said. There is no evidence that the boy has been taken across state lines, which would make the abduction a federal offense. The action is being taken as a precaution because it would be possible to cross state lines in the amount of time the boy has been missing, he said.
Neighbors reported hearing gunshots earlier Friday, Patterson said. Authorities found no signs of forced entry to the home and were not sure whether other items were missing. Watch the scene outside the house »
"You've got two people who were killed inside a home. That alone will produce a great deal of evidence," Weis said of forensic evidence at the crime scene.
Hudson won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Effie in the film version of the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls." She competed on the third season of "American Idol" in 2004, making it to the top seven contestants before being eliminated from the contest.

T-Mobile could go into business with Ryan Reynolds for Mint Mobile acquisition
T-Mobile Wireless service
Published: Jan 12, 2023, 5:49 AM
Adrian Diaconescu
Known for his unique style of humor and decidedly unorthodox publicity stunts, Ryan Reynolds would have probably been a perfect fit for a T-Mobile brand ambassador role back when the "Un-carrier" was spearheaded by the similarly unconventional and charismatic John Legere.
But instead of merely doing commercials to promote a wireless service provider, Reynolds actually bought (part of) one a few years ago, immediately becoming the face of and possibly the main creative mind behind the increasingly viral advertising efforts of Mint Mobile.
A tiny mobile virtual network operator only founded in 2016, Mint immensely improved its exposure and likely user numbers since 2019, which undoubtedly brought the company on the radar of, you guessed it, T-Mobile.
Now Magenta is reportedly looking to add a new shade to its prepaid palette through a possible acquisition that no one is confirming... or denying just yet. Bloomberg's fresh speculation on the matter goes into no detail whatsoever on the financial or logistical nature of the deal being considered by the two parties, which strongly suggests these discussions might be in an early phase.
Of course, Mint Mobile is not exactly Sprint... or even MetroPCS, so if T-Mo really wants to make this acquisition happen, one can reasonably expect everything to wrap up relatively quickly. Among others, it remains to be seen if Mint Mobile will be allowed to retain its brand and identity when the deal is finalized or if its (unknown) number of customers might be migrated to Metro by T-Mobile.
A third and, if you ask us, stronger possibility could see a separate Metro-similar Mint by T-Mobile operator be born, which doesn't sound all that different from how things stand right now. After all, Mint Mobile already uses T-Mo's network to provide ultra-affordable (and blazing fast) service to people disappointed with the "big wireless companies."
By far the most important thing to see is whether or not Mint's crazy low prices would survive this prospective acquisition, which no one can possibly claim to accurately predict in these situations. The MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) is currently running a number of bonkers (but far from unusual) deals, offering "unlimited" service (with 5G data caps) for as little as $90 for six months (!!!) and a 15GB a month plan for a total of $75 for half a year. Now those are prices that T-Mobile itself cannot compete with.

Could David Beckham's Retirement Mean More Underwear Endorsements … Please?
Lauren Schutte
English soccer player
The sports world took a hit Tuesday when David Beckham announced his retirement from soccer, the sport that made him an international superstar.
However, the female world rejoiced with the hope that this might mean Becks has more time to shoot those infamous underwear campaigns.
"I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level," Beckham, 38, who spent his last season playing for Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) club, said in a statement.
The legendary midfielder, who won championships in France with PSG, England with Manchester United, Spain with Real Madrid, and in the U.S. with the Los Angeles Galaxy, became one of the highest-paid people in sports – making $50.6 million last year alone.
Beckham also praised his family in the statement. "I wouldn't have achieved what I have done today without my family," said the soccer star who has three boys – Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 10, and Cruz, 8 – as well as a 1-year-old daughter, Harper, with wife Victoria.
"I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period," he gushed.
Over the years, the star, who married then-Spice Girl Victoria in 1999 and is managed by "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller, supplemented his substantial sporting salary (a reported $6.5 million a year) with massive endorsement deals with companies like Adidas, Burger King, and Samsung and underwear campaigns with Emporio Armani and H&M.
While no upcoming underwear shoots have yet been announced (though we're keeping our fingers crossed now that he's about to have some free time on his hands!), we're happy to settle for an uptick in photos of the Becks with his adorable (and just-as-genetically-blessed) family in tow … and watching his Bodywear for H&M commercial on repeat.

SELBY HANDS OF HOPE'S ABBEY TO ABBEY WALK
Selby Hands of Hope held its fifth fundraising walk which saw eight hot hikers take on a 38 mile-trek from Selby Abbey, York, raising £500 for the charity.
John Logue, Samantha Harris, Peter Franks, Marc Wells, Steve Howard, Mat Nelson, Richard Gladwell and Richard Singh made up the team; with five of them taking on a walk of this size for the very first time.
The group completed the challenge over two days, walking 25 miles on Saturday, June 29 and a further 13 miles on Sunday, June 30.
The high temperatures on Saturday gave the group an additional challenge, and legs and feet were said to be sore, but the encouragement to each other ensured morale remained high.
The fundraisers were joined by some of their children for the final five miles of the hike and were delighted to arrive back to Selby Abbey to well-deserved welcome from family, friends and Star Wars characters from Imperial Support Group.
Noel Hill, Sharon Ayre and friends added a memorable moment to the event and raised an additional £93.44 for the charity.
Richard Singh, chairman of Selby Hands of Hope thanked all the people who came to see the group home and offered words of support, saying it made a "massive difference".
Richard said: "Thanks to Andrew Harris at Protection Hound for sponsoring the event, as well as Steve and Sue at the Greyhound Inn, Riccall for the food and hospitality on Sunday. Audrey Whittaker and Ian Hamer both provided the support vehicle over the two days and quite simply without them none of us would have been able to finish.
"Massive thanks to Mat Nelson, who jumped in at the last minute to plot the route and do the recce, and was acting once again as the group medic."
Richard gave his congratulations and thanks to all the walkers, who raised over £500 and also raised vital awareness for Selby Hands of Hope.
He added: " I am honoured to have walked with you all. The sense of humour and team spirit within the group really got us all through a very tough 38 miles, which is the equivalent of walking from the White Horse, Kilburn to Selby, or for the football fans, Sheffield Wednesday FC to Selby Abbey!."

McDowell Mountain Frenzy 50k and 50-miler – Fountain Hills, Ariz.
Rob Krar (Flagstaff, Ariz.) finished the year where he started, and where he finished often throughout 2012. A month after a surprise second-place at the Bootlegger 50K, Krar ran a blistering 3:22 to win the 50K event in McDowell Mountain State Park. Kalib Wilkinson (Flagstaff, Ariz.), a 2:19 marathoner, was just off the lead pace with a 3:28 runner-up finish. Zac Mendelhall (Prescott, Ariz.) also finished under the previous course record in 3:51. A regular at shorter Aravaipa Running races, Lauren Besenfelder (Scottsdale, Ariz.) stepped up to the 50K distance and dominated the women's race in 4:25. Beth Shumate (Clancy, Mont.) and Shannon McQuaid (Tempe, Ariz.) were second and third in 5:13 and 5:35, respectively.
Korey Konga (Tucson, Ariz.), definitely one of the most interesting names in ultrarunning, made a late pass of Michael Carson (Gold Canyon, Ariz.) to win the inaugural 50-mile race in 7:26. Carson trailed the race winner by just three minutes. Bret Sarnquist (Flagstaff, Ariz.) ran 8:04 for third. Emily Robbins (Phoenix, Ariz.) topped Rhonda Claridge (Ophir, Colo.) in a hard-fought women's race. Robbins finished in 8:19 to Claridge's 8:27. Maggie Beach (La Crescenta, Calif.) also dipped under the nine-hour mark with an 8:55 third.
Summit Rock Half Marathon – Saratoga, Calif.
Leor Pantilat (San Carlos, Calif.) ran to a dominant 1:33 winning time on the Sanborn Park trails. More than 13 minutes ahead of his closest challenger, Pantilat's form again makes fans wish he was a part of last week's The North Face 50 chamionship field. Bryan Chu (San Jose, Calif.) and Michael Garrett took second and third in 1:46 and 1:49, respectively. Jennifer Willoughby (Aptos, Calif.) won the women's race in 2:11.
Deception Pass 50K – Oak Harbor, Wash.
Gary Robbins (North Vancouver, BC) ran through the race's namesake state park first in 3:57, more than 19 minutes faster than Yassine Diboun's inaugural year course record. Michael Wedemeyer (Portland, Ore.) snagged second in 4:15, a mere 11 seconds ahead of Adam Lint (Seattle, Wash.). Megan Schorr (Anacortes, Wash.) and Megan Bruce (Portland, Ore.) led the women's race in 5:08 and 5:34. Alex Gillett (Victoria, BC.) trailed in third at 5:39.
In the accompanying 25K, former West Virginia Mountaineer Maria Dalzot (Bellingham, Wash.) took victory in her first race in Washington, cruising to a new course record in 2:18. Andrew Wyman (Oak Harbor, Wash.) did the same on the men's side in 1:56.
Table Rock Ultras – Morganton, Nc.
Last year's 54-mile race winner, Will Harlan (Bernardsville, NC) dropped to the 50kKdistance and ran 4:03, 20 minutes faster than the course record set a year ago in the race's inaugural running. Chris Bolick (Lenoir, NC) held off Dennis Norris (Blowing Rock, NC) by 17 seconds to earn runner-up honors. Both men finished in 4:31. Anji Nussbaumer (Gaston, NC) won the women's race in 5:13 with Dulcinea Groff (Quitman, Ark.) and Melinda Yelton (Charlotte, NC) second and third in 5:36 and 5:40, respectively.
While Harlan was off winning the 50Kevent, Mark Lundblad (Asheville, NC) cut three minutes from his 54-mile course record. Second a year ago in 7:33, Lundblad cut six minutes from that time for a 7:27 finish that placed him way up on the rest of the field. Paul Scouten (Black Mountain, NC) and Jonathan Savage (Charlotte, NC) trailed in 8:06 and 8:36 for second and third, respectively. Mandi Tuite (Apex, NC) topped the women's field in 9:16.

After Gamergate: Connection Between Video Game Violence And Real-World Behavior Is Complicated
By Abigail Elise @theabigailelise

"Life's a game. Everybody's got to die sometime." That's what Alabama teenager Devin Moore said when he was apprehended after shooting two police officers and a police dispatcher in 2003. Moore, who was reportedly an avid fan of "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City," was sentenced to death in 2005, but his case is one of many that periodically revives the familiar debate on the connection, if any, between video game violence and real-life crime.
A version of that debate resurfaced in August after a flurry of misogynistic threats against two female game developers and a feminist blogger was triggered by developer Zoe Quinn's relationship with gaming writer Nathan Grayson. "Gamergate" is first about ethics in gaming journalism, but it also provided an excuse for a number of unidentified social media trolls to spew hatred toward women.
"Any time women are working in a field where they are definitely in the minority, there is a lot of hypersexualized imagery around, and some of the men in that field are primed to see women as lesser people. It sets the stage for a hostile work environment," Cheryl K. Olson, author of "Grand Theft Childhood," told IBTimes. Olson also co-founded the Harvard Medical School Center for Mental Health and Media in 2000. In 2004, the group conducted a $1.5 million study on the relationship between video games and violence.
Olson, however, says it's unfair to place blame entirely on video games, and that other media need to be examined as well. "I don't think we have enough evidence to single out video gamers as particularly misogynist, since there is also plenty of sexist content in movies and on television," she said.
More than a decade after the Devin Moore incident, the connection between violence in video games and real world criminal behavior remains complex and controversial. While research does show that video game playing correlates with violence in certain individuals, it's only one of many factors that can contribute to real-world actions.
"Violence is complicated and complex, and one variable, like violent video games, is not a singular cause," Mary Ellen O'Toole, Ph.D., a former FBI forensic behavioral consultant, told IBTimes. "The personality of the offender, life experiences, mental health issues, exposure to violent social media, etc., are certainly some of the key factors that can contribute to someone's decision to act out violently."
"For a small group of people, sustained exposure to violent social media, including video games, can be a factor in encouraging, reinforcing, desensitizing and normalizing behavior that the individual is already considering as a way to get even or become famous," she added.
Jacqueline Helfgott, Ph.D., a professor of criminal justice at Seattle University, also has conducted a number of studies on the correlation between video games and violence. She found similar results -- that video games could influence people who were already predisposed to violent behavior. "Video games alone don't cause people to become violent, but we need to have a more complex understanding of how games affect violence-prone individuals immersed in hypermasculine subcultures."
"How different forms of media content operate as risk-factors for criminal behavior for specific people, subpopulations, and subcultures is an open question," Helfgott explained. "All aspects of culture can affect these individuals. Some of them become isolated or are only playing games online, and not engaging in real relationships – all this while forming their own identities."
The problem for at-risk individuals is that they can easily become isolated in virtual communities where violence and misogyny are encouraged and rarely questioned. Helfgott believes this solitude, along with our modern culture's obsession with fame and acceptance, is what drove 22-year-old misogynist Elliot Rodger to kill seven people, including himself, and wound 13 others near the University of California, Santa Barbara, in May this year.
Rodger's hatred for women was well-documented in his YouTube blogs, and he was also an avid "World of Warcraft" player.
With individuals like Rodger, playing violent video games can be a warning sign of violence, since Rodger would have likely belonged to this very specific subculture. Helfgott has read some of the threats targeted toward game industry women like Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian in the past few months, and believes that the perpetrators probably belong to a "small community whose ideas are validated and shared."
Gamergate activists say they don't support the harassment of women and claim they're not responsible for the vitriolic tweets and messages sent to female developers like Brianna Wu. So, who is? O'Toole says it's very likely a group whose members engage in "common beliefs, attitudes and behaviors," which often becomes an "us against them" mentality.
"A movement or group that normalizes hate or violent behavior towards others, and encourages this behavior, can influence and motivate a member of the group to follow through with acts of violence, bullying, etc., which they might not otherwise engage in without the group's moral support," O'Toole said.
Helfgott has also read some of these threats. "It was really frightening, and a prime example of how this insulation of certain members in the gaming community can be pretty scary," she said. "These kinds of narratives are going on – and that's the kind of stuff Elliot Rodger was thinking."
While some findings do seem to point toward a correlation between video games and violent, misogynistic behavior, "Grand Theft Childhood" author Cheryl Olson believes that's not looking at the whole picture.
"The higher the proportion of video games rated M [mature] that a 13-year-old boy or girl played a lot, the more likely that teen was to bully other students or get into physical fights," Olson said. "However, we did more analyses of the data, adding in more things from the survey such as a measure of stressful life events, aggressive personality, and amount of parent supervision. It turns out that when you factor in life stress and aggressive personality, the link between M-rated video games and aggressive behavior goes away."
So, while video games can be a contributing factor to an individual's violent behavior, it's significant only when a number of other factors are also present – and most likely isn't the root cause. One must also look at the desire to engage in violent acts.
"It is very important to note that most of the time when we talk about factors that lead to violence, we leave out one very important one – the desire and/or personal decision to be violent," O'Toole said. "In my experience, most people who engage in violent behavior do so because they want to. They willingly and consciously choose violence as a way to deal with their personal, social and professional problems."
The problem in the current video game debate is the anonymity of the Internet, which Helfgott says creates an invisible "buffer" that makes it easier to bully others. "It's easy to objectify a person if you don't know them," she explained. "That's one of the things that make it easy for people to participate in cyberthreats and cybercrime. This buffer allows people to devalue others, and that can be harmful, especially in an online community that holds hatred and anger toward women."

Choosing a right web hosting company determines the progress of your online business; it may strengthen or bring down your business. It is upon you to choose the right hosting company otherwise things will mess with your business forever. In order to make a right choice of the web hosting company, one has to choose a company whose major service is providing web hosting.

Newly released physical activity guidelines may be the roadmap to better health for you and your family. Despite increased evidence that physical activity is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle, surveys show that few Americans have increased their activity levels in decades. This reality has contributed to the increased weight and associated healthcare problems our society has witnessed.
The health costs of inactivity led the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services to create the first set of Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. These guidelines describe exactly how much and what types of activity are needed to control weight and reduce the risk of major health problems.
While advice on physical activity has been a part of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans since 1995, separate recommendations were warranted because of the growing waistlines of Americans and the overwhelming body of research that supports the health benefits of physical activity.
Avoid inactivity; anything is better than nothing.
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week for substantial health benefits.
Exercise beyond the minimum to gain additional benefits, including weight loss. Aim for 300 minutes of moderate or 150 minutes of vigorous activity each week to lose weight or keep it off.
Two or more times each week, include moderate or high-intensity levels of muscle-strengthening activities that involve all the major muscle groups.
Aim to be as active as your circumstances allow (this includes older or disabled adults).
To judge how intensely you are exercising, use this measure: When exercising moderately, you should be able to talk but not sing. In vigorous activity, you shouldn't be able to say more than a few words before having to breathe again.
Don't beat yourself up for not being active; begin where you are, find something you enjoy doing, do it regularly, and gradually increase the amount and vigor of the activities you enjoy. You will reap the benefits of better health.

Defendant appeals, reprising the arguments that he made below. We begin with whether, for purposes of Article I, section 9, of the Oregon Constitution, defendant had a privacy interest in the area of Eichengreen's home in which the police found the methamphetamine. Among other things, Article I, section 9, protects the people's right to privacy against intrusion by the state. Privacy rights that are protected by Article I, section 9, can extend to invited guests in the home. See, e.g., City of Eugene v. Silva, 198 Ore. App. 101, 106-07, 108 P3d 23 (2005) (concluding that overnight guest who had unlimited access to a backyard had the same privacy rights in the backyard as the resident). The scope of the Article I, section 9, privacy right depends on the reason that the person is on the property. Cf. Tanner, 304 Ore. at 321 (distinguishing privacy rights of a dinner guest from those of a trespasser). Similarly, the scope of the privacy right is affected by the scope of the invitation to be on the property. Cf. id. (suggesting that a dinner guest might not have a privacy right in the basement of a home). The scope of an invitation to be on or to use property is inherently a fact-based inquiry that is affected by property-law principles, see State v. Howard/Dawson, 342 Ore. 635, 642, 157 P3d 1189 (2007) (recognizing that property law bears on Article I, section 9, privacy interests), and societal norms, see State v. Mast, 250 Ore. App. 605, 613, 282 P3d 916 (2012) (relying on societal norms to determine a person's privacy interests for purposes of Article I, section 9).
Here, the trial court found that the scope of Eichengreen's invitation to defendant to be on Eichengreen's property did not extend to the area under the back steps. The trial court relied on contextual facts for its finding. First, it noted that defendant was in the home as a guest, not as a resident. Additionally, defendant did not have a close relationship with a resident there, because the person whom he had been dating no longer lived in the home. The court also noted that the invitation was extended by passive rather than active means. Finally, it noted that the purpose of the visit was to exchange money to pay to have a cat spayed. It found, based on those facts, that the scope of Eichengreen's invitation was limited and did not extend to the area under the back steps in which the police found the methamphetamine. Thus, because the scope of Eichengreen's invitation did not include that area, defendant lacked a protected privacy interest in it.

FCPA enforcement continues to be in the headlines this last month. In a recent speech, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer warned the business community that FCPA enforcement is "here to stay" and urged businesses to implement compliance programs. In a recent comprehensive settlement with seven companies, the Justice Department once again demonstrated its commitment to aggressive enforcement, collecting nearly $250 million in fines. In its filings, the Justice Department outlined minimum requirements for corporate compliance programs. Finally, at a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senators criticized the Justice Department for failing to prosecute individuals for criminal FCPA violations. Please join Mayer Brown partners Thomas Durkin and Michael Volkov as they discuss these developments.

History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.


I was really interested to watch "Tomorrowland". I don't get the reasoning behind creating movies about amusement park rides (or, in this case, whole sections of theme parks), but what little had been revealed in the trailer looked promising. I'm not a fan of George Clooney, and he was the only big name in the film. Considering how poorly Tomorrowland did at the box office, and how terrible "The Haunted Mansion" was, I had low expectations.
The film began with the tired old "telling the story as a flashback" trope, though without revealing much. A fairly good opening segment set in the sixties, which wasn't hinted at in the trailer, followed, setting up part of the science fiction premise. The film then flash forwarded to modern day, where Casey (Britt Robertson from "Under the Dome") finds a mysterious badge which, when she touches it, transports her to the magical Tomorrowland.
The remainder of the film falls flatter and flatter. Robertson and Clooney wade through action sequences and plot developments, supported by Raffey Cassidy and Hugh Laurie, but ultimately, the revealed Tomorrowland is a two dimensional, elitist utopia, and the solution to all our world's problems is a quick fix, once the brilliant heroine guesses what the problem is. It's all a little too easy. Sorry, Brad, but you should have spent more time on the script before rolling the cameras on this one.

I'm only writing because it's been a while. Not really because I have much to say. Unless you read this and see that it's super long – then I guess I thought of something.
The holidays came and went fast. We spent the actual Christmas Eve/Day with the Rausch and Miles families. Christmas Day night, my family came up for our kinda-sorta-annual Christmas Day movie tradition. That weekend we spent Christmas with some of the Greggs and Leaders. Two of my high school friends got married that weekend at home, so that worked out convenient for us.
New Year's Eve we spent in Hawarden again, playing board games with my family and my sister-in-law's family. Played: Squares, Pop 5, Buzzword, Apples to Apples. It was fun to just hang out and focus on strategy and playing the games.
I'm almost done with what's been published of the Twilight saga. My sister's friend is letting me borrow her copies. While it's not the most well-written piece of literature I've ever read, it is an enjoyable story and somewhat addicting. I feel like my HS-age sister and sister-in-law. I don't go crazy when Twilight is mentioned, but I can see why they like them so much. I'm almost done with the last book and it's much more maturely-written than the previous three. I even blush. I am considering seeing the movie, though I know it won't be as good – might have to wait until the library gets it in for rental if I don't go soon before it leaves the theaters.
In a couple weeks, Miles and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary. We're going to spend the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend at my grandparent's timeshare in Okoboji. It's something we've been planning since November, but now I feel like we need a weekend away even more. My family used to stay at this timeshare quite often in my pre-college days. Miles has not been there before and I think he'll like it.
We're well into the new year and I still haven't written a check or anything that will force me to change my 08 habits. I don't anticipate it being too difficult. So many things happened in 2008 (good *and* bad, but it's easier to remember the bad) that I'm ready to move on.
Here's a list of "firsts" that happened when I was 21.
Wow, I guess I had a lot going on in the past year…!
This weekend we moved Miles to Sioux Falls to our first apartment. It's very nice, and I'm excited to move there myself! Thanks to Val, Brenna, and Bob for helping out. We couldn't have done it without you.
But, moving is not enjoyable, even with help. And we technically get to do it twice. In a month. At least we weren't moving to a new town, preparing for a wedding, graduating, starting new jobs, and doing it all in the winter. Am I right? I'll be bringing carloads of my things throughout January and we'll move me completely sometime after the wedding. I'll need to find a graphic design job soon as well…but in the last month or so, there really have not been any openings in the Sioux Falls area. Wish me luck!
Noteworthy enjoyables about the apartment: washer and dryer in the unit, dishwasher, two beds, two baths, large closets, comfy carpets, large rooms. Still, there are things I'd like to change, but who lives in a perfect world?
My unpacking jobs this weekend: organizing/alphabetizing DVD collection, arranging furniture, dish washing, unloading kitchen stuff, laundry, and hanging art and photos.
Anyway, today marks the last year for being a "Miss" and I look forward to the next couple of weeks of preparing, freaking, and looking forward to the big day!
conducted a photoshoot with Marissa one pleasant afternoon. Check them out here.
been hired by DSU to do some simple web editing. This may or may not turn into a part-time job that I've applied for.
celebrated a one-year anniversary with Miles.
traveled to Madison, Big Stone City, and Council Bluffs.
survived a blizzard-like trip home.
created invitations for Adam's wedding.
revisited Falls Park for the first time since Miles asked me out.
had a dentist appointment. Luckily, the dentist didn't ask for an MO this time.
attended a house-warming party for Holly and Bob.
got fitted for a bridesmaid dress.
scraped off wallpaper border and repainted a room.
got realigned by my chiropractor.
It doesn't look like much of a change, but trust me – it is. It began as a bright yellow that didn't cover the walls very well. When I was done, it was a carmel/latte color on three walls with a "Lucky Penny" color as an accent wall. The picture doesn't do it justice. Also, disregard the bedspread and curtains. They will be replaced to match the rest of the room.
I will return to Madison tomorrow. School does not start until the 17th, but I've got plenty of things to do in the mean time, plus RA responsibilities. Sorry that it's taken so long for me to post!
