Step UP for Down Syndrome Walk

Posted on 7:48 AM by Unknown
 This Saturday is the Step UP For Down Syndrome Walk- join us or even maybe pledge to help out MADSS.

Down syndrome is a genetic difference affecting over 350,000 people in the United States. It occurs in 1 of every 733 births in people of all ages, races, and economic levels. Advances in our  understanding of Down syndrome have led to tremendous changes in the quality of life and expectations.




A silent auction with one of my prints will be available. 

Alliant Energy Center-Exhibition Hall
9:30 a.m. Registration
11:00 a.m. Walk


To donate to the cause  this is Caydence's page

-------------------------------------

I can hardly contain myself - Justin Bieber is writing his memoirs!   Telling classic stories about playing pranks on his tutors to failing his drivers license! WOW - I can not WAIT!!!  I think I'm moist!   I do hope it is out by Christmas as it will be #1 on my list!!     Move over "George Bush, Warrior King!"  there is a new gorilla in the closet. 

(I don't even know that that means).
------------------------------------------------------------

I found this website that shows crime in Madison.   The below image is of all the assults that tahe taken pace in Madison in the last ONE month.


The site is called Spotcrime and you can have it look for shootings, assaults, robbery's and all sorts of stuff.  Gets a little crowded at times and you can sort of by date.  You have to sign up for ALL the functions, email address is needed but I have not gotten any junk mail YET!

---------------------------------------------------

Also - if you own an iPhone if you are using your camera you can tap the screen and that part of the photo will be focused on.

DJ found that if she pressed the HOME button for about 3 seconds a "voice control" function came up.  You can then control you phone with your voice.  Things like  "CALL ROD"  or "WHAT TIME IS IT".  It's about all I know from that department.
---------------------------------------------------------

Check out this image !!

  Comes from Game 4 of the ALCS when a broken bat went flying into a $100,000 high def camera.

Did you know that the camera man makes $452,000 a year?  What a wonderful job - you get to go the the best games AND get paid a half mil!
--------------------------------------

Did you know that Candy Corn was invented in the 1880s and 22 pieces contain 140 calories and no fat. 20 million pounds are produced annually and the recipe is basically the same as it was 120 years ago.
