In the interest of full disclosure, I would like to state up front that I am the volunteer webmaster for Friends of Jay Selthofner and I am in the process of creating a website for him. However, no one asked me to write this, I am not being compensated for it in any way, and it is solely my personal opinion as a citizen who is concerned about the state of the economy, our environment, and the many other urgent issues facing us today.  (I didn’t start a company called “Green Web Design” for no reason! I have spent a lot of time learning about what Jay thinks on the issues that are most important to me in the past few weeks, and I really believe that his plans and ideas will work.  He’s a really nice guy who cares about his community. Vote for Jay Selthofner for Wisconsin State Assembly in November!

Original Wisconsin Marihuana Tax Stamp from Markesan, Wisconsin offers a glimpse of our state's history, and possible future! Jay's campaign slogan is "Let's Get Growing".

Jay’s proposal to legalize Industrial hemp in Wisconsin once again would not only create many different types of jobs and generate revenue for our state, it would also help the environment in the process at no additional cost, making things cleaner and safer for ourselves and for future generations.

Industrial Hemp Farmer and John Deere Tractor

• Industrial Hemp can yield 3-8 dry tons of fiber per acre. This is four times what an average forest can yield.
• Industrial Hemp can displace cotton –  50% of all the world’s pesticides are sprayed on cotton.
• Industrial Hemp can displace wood fiber and save forests for watershed, wildlife habitat, recreation and oxygen production, carbon sequestration (reduces global warming), and other values.

With the BP oil spill and other environmental disasters that are going on all over the world at the moment, now more than ever I hope that people will realize we can’t go on using endless natural resources and wantonly polluting forever as though there are no consequences.  We are killing ourselves, and our world economy is in shambles. How much do you think  this oil spill going to cost us to clean up when it’s all said and done? At what cost to the environment? How many lives changed by health problems as a result of the cleanup efforts and how much of the fishing industry harmed?  If you’re not alarmed, you’re not paying attention. Want to know what you can do to help in Wisconsin?  For starters, vote for Jay Selthofner for Wisconsin State Assembly in District 41, and vote for Industrial Hemp in Wisconsin. We can  create biofuel from Industrial Hemp, as well as many diverse and beneficial products including textiles, medicines, and foods.

oil spill cleanup

No amount of money can buy clean water, air, and soil if there is none left anywhere in the world.  It’s only going to cost us more in the long run if we destroy the scarce natural resources contained in this tiny planet that we all must live on, while foolishly refusing to use cleaner, better resources whenever they are available to us.  We must develop cheaper, safer technologies for the future. Industrial Hemp can be a valuable asset, as it was for over 12,000 years around the world. Hemp can actually clean up toxins from the ground. This process is called phytoremediation. A good example of this is when hemp was used to help clean up the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site to remove radioactive elements from the ground. Why couldn’t we use it to try and help clean up the oil spill? If we have to wait months for a fix that works anyways, why not get growing now so we have one more option to help clean up this disaster!

What will we do when every last inch of the land, air, and sea has been polluted?

The bottom line is that we need to work towards boosting the economy and trying to save our global water supply from massive scale pollution. We also need to spend our tax dollars to fight violent drug cartels and other ACTUAL criminals, rather than farmers, cancer and other types of sick or dying patients, as well as decent, taxpaying citizens who aren’t hurting anyone, even themselves.

Putting patients and other responsible, law-abiding taxpayers in prison is not the answer. Our current laws are cruel and unusual.

Rather than bailing out the mega corporations that cumulatively contributed towards the whole sorry mess to begin with, we need to bail out our farmers, as well as patients and citizens who need jobs. We need to introduce and vote on compassionate laws which heal our economy and our environment while respecting human rights. The penalties for breaking a law should never be more harmful than the crime. Especially when it’s an unjust law to begin with. Refusing to hear any of the facts before rushing in with guns blazing is NOT acceptable anymore. We need effect an actual change, one which benefits us all.  We need jobs, we need for our economy to recover, and we need to start working towards a cleaner, safer environment for all.

Donna Carleton-Bird, better known as Bird Mommy, is the creator of a delightful kids DVD that is 40 minutes long for kids ages 2-7.  It is available as a DVD, or if you prefer to watch them online, you may purchase the individual musical story-rhymes and download them to your computer for just .80 cents each. Just visit BirdMommy.com to watch a 40 second preview of each story-rhyme and see for yourself what your kids think!

When I was creating her website, Donna sent me a copy of her DVD so that I could convert it into a digital format,  in order to offer the downloadable versions on the site.  When I was done, I gave the DVD to my niece.  She is now 5 years old and she still loves it.  I am sure that your kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces or other children in your life will love it too!

When listening to Donna narrate the story-rhymes on this Kids DVD, you can hear in her voice what a loving grandmother and mother she is.  Many of her poems were written for, and even with, her own kids and grandkids.  And after knowing Donna and her husband online for several years now, I can tell you that she is every bit as sweet as she sounds!

Speaking of Donna’s husband, Jan Davis, he is responsible for the wonderful music on the DVD.  He is an accomplished musician, and a classical, flamenco, and blues guitar master, among other things. Donna’s poems are set to Jan’s beautiful Guitar music, and it’s a perfect match! You can also find Jan Davis Guitar on Facebook.

Together, Donna and Jan own Stone Tiger Music, a legal MP3 download service which allows independent musicians to easily sell their music for download to the public.

After you’ve signed up for your Google account, you’ll want to look over in the upper right hand corner.   You’ll see a link that says Settings, which presents you with two more choices when selected:  Search Settings, and Google Account settings.

Click on Search Settings, and you will see  a page which lets you configure how you’d like to search Google.  It’s pretty standard:

• Interface Language / Search Language: Select your language preferences.
• SafeSearch Filtering: If you’re at work you definitely want to keep the SafeSearch filter on!
• Number of Results: I always view 100 results at a time.  It saves me the hassle of clicking next… next… next… endlessly.
• Results Window: You may find it convenient to open results in a new window.  I often do.  And if you don’t like it you can change it back later!
• Query Suggestions: Because my job involves web marketing and data analysis, I opt to keep the suggestions on, as it can be very useful to see what Google thinks are associated with my search terms.
• Search Wiki: this basically lets you give an up arrow to certain pages and domains in search results so that if your domain or page shows up for that search term, it will show up on top of the first page, making it easy to find if you’re doing keyword research or some other marketing research.  However, if you just want to see what comes up naturally, you have to turn it off, as everything you move up to the top will be there for that keyword search in the future, unless you turn it off or move it back down again.

The next thing you’ll want to do is go back to settings in the upper right hand corner, and this time, you’re going to customize your Google Account Settings. Here, you will see numerous options.  I’ll discuss a few of the basics here.

The first thing you should do is click on “Change password recovery options” and make sure that, if you should ever forget your password, you will be able to reset it.

Next, over on the left, click on Edit Profile.  Fill out as much information as you are comfortable with, and select whether your full name should be searchable.  At the bottom, you will find a bio area, as well as a Links area to link to your websites.  (if you’re really cool, you’ll link to GreenWebDesign.com and/or 50StatesClassifieds.com! 

If you have a Picasa, Flickr, or other photo service account, click on the Photos tab to link it to your Google Account.

Back at the main Google Accounts page (which you can always find by going back to http://www.google.com/accounts), scroll down to My Products.

You may already have some products showing here, such as: AdSense, Analytics, Checkout, Google Affiliate Network, Knol, Notebook, Picasa, Sites, Voice, Webmaster Tools, AdWords, Blogger, Docs, Health, Local Business Center, Orkut, Profiles, Subscribed Links, Wave, youTube, Alerts, Calendar, Gmail, iGoogle, Merchant Center, Page Creator, Reader, Talk, and Web History.

If you don’t have any products, you should “Try Something New”, where you can click on things you haven’t signed up for yet.  Try some stuff out and see how it goes!

The rest of this section, you can explore on your own!  Feel free to ask specific questions if you get stuck on something.

Ways to search Google more effectively using custom queries:

When you’re searching for something really specific, try putting quotation marks around it.  For example, “Green Web Design”.

If you’re looking for something and the search results are too broad, try a plus sign!  For example, Green+Web+Design

If you read something on a particular website, but can’t remember how to find it again, try searching just in that domain.  For example, in google, type this into the search box:  site:greenwebdesign.com marketing and you’ll see that you only get results from GreenWebDesign.com which contain the word marketing.

If you’d like to find some pages that are similar to a page, enter this into the search box:

related:http://www.greenwebdesign.com/

Webmasters: If you would like to find out when Google last visited a page on your website, you can do so by entering the following text into the search box at google.com:

cache:http://www.greenwebdesign.com/  OR  cache:http://www.greenwebdesign.com/index.html

There are many other ways you can search using custom search queries, but these will probably be more than enough for most people.

You’ll also find lots of fun Google Goodies at:

http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/

Like all MusicSkins products, the Customizer personalized skins are made of premium quality vinyl that provides a high-gloss photo grade finish while protecting the electronic device with a durable, scratch-resistant, anti-UV coating.

Unlike decals, stickers and other kinds of device covers, MusicSkins can also be easily removed without leaving any residue, making it clean and easy to switch skins.

2: MUSICSKINS

MusicSkins had a really cool display set up and it drew us in with the variety of awesome rock-themed skins hanging up. They have licensed skins for all popular portable devices from a wide range of musicians, from Madonna to Bob Marley. In addition, they have popular mixed media artists such as ExplodingDog and Chuck Anderson. The skins are high quality like Wasabi, and easily removable. They have skins for Guitar Hero and Rock Band guitars as well. I got an autographed Coheed & Cambria guitar skin for my Guitar Hero guitar. The skin was designed for a Wii guitar, but with an X-acto knife and some clever cuts, I made it work on my Xbox version.

The MusicSkins overlays are very resilient; I tried several removals and re-applications and they hold their tack and don’t stretch. If you want something music-themed, ths is definitely the place to go.

A.J. Marhofke isn’t in the habit of begging, and neither are his faithful sidekicks, Molly Mae and Zip.

Well, maybe Zip begs. The lively 10-year-old border collie pushed tennis balls in my direction again and again, hoping I’d throw so he could chase.

Molly Mae, a 13-year-old border collie mix who’s now blind and ill, is just not up for play these days.

Neither is Marhofke, and that’s the crux of the problem.

This is the team that makes up 911BC – a nonprofit, volunteer K-9 search-and-rescue unit based in the Town of Summit and founded by Marhofke in 1969. Marhofke, 62, is a onetime maintenance worker, deputy medical examiner and paramedic.

But his full-time passion has always been his dogs, K-9 search training, and responding at no charge to law enforcement all over the country. His dogs specialize in finding people – dead or alive – and forensic evidence, the stuff of crime scenes and court cases.

Molly Mae is retired but admired enough by others that in January Gov. Jim Doyle issued her a formal commendation. Among other accomplishments, Doyle cited her work in finding a Waukesha County developmentally disabled man lost in the wild for three days in 1998, her work with a triple Krnak family homicide in Jefferson County that same year, and her “gentle demeanor and calming effect on children” during Marhofke’s educational presentations to kids groups.

Molly Mae is out of commission, and now, for up to 12 weeks at least, Marhofke is, too. That’s what has him frustrated and worried.

He fell off a few steps of a ladder last week, seriously breaking his heel in the process. Surgery is scheduled for Monday, and he’s under strict orders to stay off the foot for up to 12 weeks. He’s not sure how he’ll tend to the dogs’ needs, especially Molly Mae’s, whose blindness and medications leave her in need of special attention.

Kathryne Jacobs of Cudahy recently struck up a friendship with Marhofke through a mutual business acquaintance. She’s helping him around the house a couple of days a week and getting him to doctors’ appointments, but she can’t be there daily for the dogs. She’s got two of her own. His usual pet sitters are about to leave on vacation.

Jacobs e-mailed this newspaper with a plea that Marhofke was too proud to make himself.

“This man who has done so much for others his whole life, and who has poured his life’s energy and life savings into helping others, now needs some help himself,” she wrote.

She’s hoping someone will step forward – like a scout troop, dog lovers, a volunteer pet sitter – with anything that can see him through this spell. Not only are the dogs a concern, but tasks as simple as getting mail from the roadside mailbox is a problem. (If you can help, e-mail Marhofke at k9911@yahoo.com.)

Marhofke’s heel injury is only the latest in a terrible string of bad luck that would bring most people to their knees.

Personally, I just love the Elvis Presley Baby Onesies! I went to a baby shower this past weekend and gave the mom to be the Elvis Presley “Jailhouse Rock” Onesie and it was the hit of the party!

The other Elvis Presley Onesies in our collection are pictured below:

I Love Elvis Onesie All Shook Up Elvis Onesie

Aren’t these two Elvis Onesies the cutest things you’ve ever seen? If you are a fan of The King or have friends who love Elvis and they are expecting a baby, these Elvis Onesies are must buy items.

Finally, my other favorite Elvis Onesie has to be this Elvis Jumpsuit Onesie. I am going to yet another baby shower next week and this time the mom to be is getting this Elvis Jumpsuit Onesie. Not only is this Elvis Onesie great for everyday, the baby will have a Halloween Costume come next October – if it still fits.

Be sure to check out our Elvis Onesies soon. As I said, they make great gifts for any mom to be – especially an Elvis Fan and they make dressing a baby easy and fun. I know I loved onesies as a new mom of twins – too bad these Elvis Onesies weren’t available at that time or you can bet my twins would have been wearing the “All Shook Up” Elvis Presley Onesies to daycare!

Great News for Parents & Grandparents of kids ages 2-8

“Bird Mommy’s Readalong Storybook” is a fun and educational DVD that has added a new, innovative twist: you can either purchase a traditional DVD with all 16 stories, or you can purchase the story rhymes individually and download them to your computer for just .99 each!

Internet viewers can choose from 16 animated short stories and rhymes. Bird Mommy tells each story along with printed words displayed, to help children learn to read. This is backed up with tempo instrumental guitar driven music from the 60’s and 70’s, which kids may never have heard before, making it a fun new experience for them!

The download concept was derived from the idea that a child may be wild about certain stories and their parents or grandparents can select only those stories to download. This is very similar to what music download websites such as Stone Tiger Music offer, where people may find a certain song they like on a CD or album, but would prefer to download only their favorite song, rather than the entire album.

This idea was developed by LauraBob Music and Entertainment, who recently announced that the entire Bird Mommy Storybook can be downloaded to computers and iPods. Green Web Design was able to take the idea and make it a reality. For those who prefer to purchase a full DVD instead, you may still do so at www.BirdMommy.com.

Unlike full-feature length DVD’s, children can choose one or more stories they want to see and hear, and enjoy them even while in the back seat of a vehicle, or watching from a cell phone.

Reports are coming in from around the world, emphasizing that children are wild about the Bird Mommy DVD. Kids who speak foreign languages, including USA latinos, are learning to speak and spell in English, while being entertained.

Every parent or grandparent should check this out and share it with the children in their lives!
