Salina man has never forgotten the lines of the '47 from his youth.
by Mike Berry/The Wichita Eagle
Don Reinsch's rare post-war '46 Mercury is the culmination of his quest to replicate a '47 Mercury he owned many years ago. "This is probably the most ambitious project I've ever taken on," says Reinsch, who has been building hod rods for 55 years.
Don Reinsch started building hot rods when he was 15 years old. He's still going strong today, 55 years later, having just finished his rare 1946 Mercury Club Coupe.
"This is probably the most ambitious project I've ever taken on," he says. "I had a '47 Mercury when I was a very young man and I loved the lines of that car."

Political Notebook
Poker stars come to Fresno, Clovis to support online poker legislation
Is online poker coming to California?
The matter has been kicking around Sacramento for years, but so far it has been a losing bet. The major sticking point has been disagreement among Indian tribes, horse racing tracks and card rooms about who should be in on the action.
But this year, there is newfound hope that some compromise can be reached and legislation passed to approve the practice. To help matters along, poker celebrities are touring the state to support online poker.
Daniel Negreanu, Jason Somerville and Vanessa Selbst will be in the Fresno-Clovis area Saturday, Aug. 1 and Aug. 8 as part of the "Let California Play!" PokerStars Pro Tour. Selbst is arguably the best female player in the world, and Negreanu is one of the original stars from the early days of the poker boom. Somerville is seen as the sport's fastest-rising star.
The players will have a 10 a.m. meet and greet Saturday at the 500 Club, 771 W. Shaw Ave. in Clovis. Play will start at 11 a.m.
The following Saturday at Club One, 1033 Van Ness Ave. in downtown Fresno, the players will have a 1:15 p.m. meet and greet and the main event tournament will follow at 2:15 p.m. There is a $250 buy-in.
"We view online poker as the next big thing in poker and strongly support efforts in California to authorize it," 500 Club Casino general manager Dusten Perry says in a news release promoting the event. The 500 Club is donating all proceeds from the tournament to Valley Children's Hospital.
Club One also supports state approval of online poker, casino owner Kyle Kirkland said. "We believe online poker helps introduce new players, build awareness and add legitimacy to the game," he says in the news release. "We'd love to see California follow other states in legalizing online play."

Developed by Larry Williams and first described in a 1985 article for Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine, the "Ultimate" Oscillator combines a stock's price action during three different time frames into one bounded oscillator. Values range from 0 to 100 with 50 as the center line. Oversold territory exists below 30 and overbought territory extends from 70 to 100.
Three time frames are used by the Ultimate Oscillator and can be specified by the user. Typically values of 7-periods, 14-periods and 28-periods are used. Note that these time periods all overlap, i.e. the 28-period time frame includes both the 14-period time frame and the 7-period time frame. This means that the action of the shortest time frame is included in the calculation three times and has a magnified impact on the results.
- Calculate Today's "True Low (TL)". TL = the lower of today's low or yesterday's close.
- Calculate Today's "Buying Pressure (BP)". BP = Today's close - Today's TL.
- Calculate Today's "
(TR)". TR = the higher of 1.) Today's High - Today's Low; 2.) Today's High - Yesterday's Close; 3.) Yesterday's Close - Today's Low. True Range
- Calculate BPSum1, BPSum2, and BPSum3 by adding up all of the BPs for each of the three specified time frames.
- Calculate TRSum1, TRSum2, and TRSum3 by adding up all of the TR's for each of the three specified time frames.
- The Raw Ultimate Oscillator (RawUO) is equal to:
4 * (BPSum1 / TRSum1) + 2 * (BPSum2 / TRSum2) + (BPSum3 / TRSum3)
- The Final Ultimate Oscillator is equal to:
( RawUO / (4 + 2 + 1) ) * 100
Note: The '*' sign in the above formula denotes multiplication.

document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1222537&br=1&dk=776f726b20617420686f6d655f345f325f776562&col=2&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));
The Ultimate Oscillator can be used on intraday, daily, weekly or monthly data. The time frame and number of periods used can vary according to desired sensitivity and the characteristics of the individual security.
It is important to remember that overbought does not necessarily imply time to sell and oversold does not necessarily imply time to buy. A security can be in a downtrend, become oversold and remain oversold as the price continues to trend lower. Once a security becomes overbought or oversold, traders should wait for a signal that a price reversal has occurred. One method might be to wait for the oscillator to cross above or below -50 for confirmation. Price reversal confirmation can also be accomplished by using other indicators or aspects of technical analysis in conjunction with the Ultimate oscillator.
This chart of Alcoa(AA) with the Ultimate Oscillator illustrates some key points:
- A bearish divergence appeared well before the top and persisted until the stock reversed.
- Extreme values are rare for the Ultimate Oscillator.
- Crosses above and below the center line (50) are relatively common.
- As always, confirmation from other signals usually increases the accuracy of any analysis.
Ultimate Oscillator and SharpCharts
Using SharpCharts, the Ultimate Oscillator can be charted using any number of periods for the three separate oscillators. The Ultimate Oscillator is the weighted sum of these three oscillators. The typical values are 7, 14 and 28 which are the default entries for this indicator.

Juvisync and Muscle Pain
Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you are taking Juvisync (sitagliptin/simvastatin) and you develop muscle pain, weakness, or tenderness in combination with a fever or feeling of sickness. Although this is a rare complication, these problems can be signs of a potentially serious and even life-threatening breakdown of muscles that can lead to kidney failure.
In September 2013, Merck & Co, Inc., announced that it would be discontinuing this medication. It is clear that this decision was made for business reasons, not for safety reasons.
An Overview of Muscle Pain With JuvisyncThere are a number of possible side effects that can occur with Juvisync® (sitagliptin/simvastatin). Due to the simvastatin component of Juvisync, muscle pain is known to be a potential side effect and can sometimes be a sign of more serious problems.
Juvisync and Muscle Pain -- What Should I Watch For?In most cases, muscle pain associated with statin medications, including simvastatin (one of the components in Juvisync), is an isolated symptom and is not a sign of more serious problems. However, in rare cases, people can develop serious problems with their muscles while taking statin medications, and muscle pain can be a symptom of such problems.
Two serious muscle problems that are rarely seen in people taking statins are myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is very serious, as it can lead to the breakdown of muscles and cause the kidneys to stop working properly (acute kidney failure). In some cases, rhabdomyolysis can result in loss of life.
If you develop muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (especially if you also have a fever or feel ill) while taking this drug, call your healthcare provider immediately. This could be a sign that you have a serious condition that needs treatment right away.

Have you ever asked the question, "What limits God?"
Every now and then I listen to Joel Osteen. It's not really intentional, but usually I am flipping through channels and come across his broadcast. And when this happens, many times what he is saying applies directly to something currently being experienced in my life.
This past Sunday night was no different. As Joel talked about having God's favor IN THE MIDST of life's storms, he uttered these words:
"God is not limited by our conditions. He is limited by our thinking."
These words hit me like a ton of bricks! And has been echoing through my soul ever since. How often do we look at the size and intensity of our circumstances and think they are too big for God to handle? But, when we read Scripture, we are repeatedly introduced to a God who is CAPABLE! God has no problem with being ABLE to change situations, circumstances and people.
And then there's a particular passage (in Matthew 13:53-58/Mark 6:1-6) where Jesus Christ, (the Son of God who is shown in the gospels to be able to heal every disease, sickness and raise the dead), shows up in his hometown with the intention of doing many miracles. However, the Bible states:
"Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief" (Matthew 13:58).
"Now he could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching" (Mark 6:5-6).
Jesus was only able to do a few miracles in his hometown. Why? Because the bulk of the people he encountered were filled with thoughts of unbelief, disdain, arrogance and contempt. Their thoughts limited what Jesus could do. Only a few who were desperately sick, believed he was able to heal them… and they received his blessing.
There are only two instances in the gospels where it's stated that Jesus marveled. One is in Mark 6 which was just stated. Here Jesus marveled at the people's level of unbelief. The other account is in Matthew 8: 5-13. Here, Jesus met the Roman centurion who wanted him to heal his servant with but a word. Jesus marveled because of this man's great level of faith and understanding. Listen to what the text says:
"When Jesus heard it, [the Roman centurion's reply] He marveled, and said to those who followed, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!'" (Matthew 8:10). Italics added.
I know we don't want to think of God as limited. Ultimately God is not limited by anything except the limitations he puts on himself. That's right. God – the All Knowing, All Powerful, All Present One who spoke the universe into existence and created all there is… self-limits himself. He chooses to act or refrain from acting based on the rules and parameters he has set in place. And these rules are not arbitrary.
But why does God self-limit himself? Because we – humanity – have been given free will. We can choose to invite God into our lives or to go through life on our own. We can choose to accept his invitation to participate in the story he is telling the world through Christ, or we can be busy trying to create our own stories where we are the main character and he has a minor supporting role at best. In many cases we create stories where God is misrepresented or altogether absent!
Yes, we have been given free will and God will not override what we truly want and desire. So, Jesus could walk into his hometown (as we read above) with the desire, power and ability to do many miracles, but be limited because of those who thought he was getting "too big for his britches." And Jesus could also encounter a man who wasn't even a part of his own ethnic group, yet who had more faith in him than his own people, and could receive a tremendous blessing from him as a result.
Even in Hebrews 4:2 we read the following: "For indeed the Gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it" (NKJV).
Here, the writer is talking about how many of the Hebrew people God delivered from Egyptian slavery never made it to the promised land he had waiting for them. Even though they saw God's miraculous deliverance through the 10 plagues and the parting of the Red Sea, they still could not divorce themselves from their own "stinkin' thinkin'. Their thoughts limited what God wanted to do in their lives. The result was that almost an entire generation died in the wilderness and God raised up their children to inherit what had been waiting for them all along.
As you can see, according to the Scriptures, Joel Osteen's comments is spot on!
"God is not limited by our conditions. He is limited by our thinking."
So, it matters how we approach God and how we approach the situations and circumstances of our lives. What we believe about God, his ability to intervene and his willingness to sustain us will determine HOW we make it through the storms of life. It will also determine whether or not we make it through at all!
"But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6, AMP).
Now, I am not saying that God will give you and I everything we want, when we want it. But God will give us what we need to endure and overcome the struggles we face on a day-to-day basis! Sometimes that means deliverance FROM situations. Other times that means deliverance THROUGH situations. And then there are those times when God will cause us to CIRCUMVENT situations altogether.
What you must do – no matter the situation – is fight to surrender your negative thinking and beliefs to Jesus Christ, so he can begin to work out his Will for you. Your problems may be bigger than you and your ability, but they are NOT bigger than God. Nor do they take God by surprise! He is more than able to bring you through every situation better and not bitter!
I will close this post with Romans 12: 1-2:
"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Be a living and Holy sacrifice – the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect" (NLT).
God WANTS to do more in our lives than we can even imagine. But for him to do so, we must open our hearts and minds to him. If we fail to surrender ourselves, then we are ultimately the ones who lose out on what he has to offer us: an intimate relationship with him through Jesus Christ which will affect and transform every area of our life for his glory and our good!
In what ways are we allowing our thoughts to put limits on God?
Take time to pray and ask God to help you believe what he says to be true about himself according to his Word, the Bible. Then read it for yourself, take it to heart and begin to put it into action. Start with the Scripture passages mentioned in this post.
Let me know what you think.
-Allen Paul Weaver III –

New Season Premieres on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT on PBS
Twitter: @novapbs
[BOSTON, MA] — PBS' preeminent science series, NOVA, unleashes a lively and diverse 2013 fall programming line-up that explores some of the tallest, deadliest, strangest, safest, fastest, coldest and wildest innovations from an array of exciting scientific fields. Ultracold physics, super engineering, cold case forensics, space mining, cutting edge materials science–all can be found in the spectacular new season of NOVA launching on Wednesday, September 11 at 9pm ET/8c on PBS.
"In one of the most vibrant and varied seasons yet, NOVA investigates a ton of highly provocative science, space, engineering, and technology stories, and calls on David Pogue to unveil what could be the next big things to improve our lives and change our future," says Paula S. Apsell, Senior Executive Producer for NOVA.
Ground Zero Supertower
Premieres Wednesday, September 11th at 9PM/8c on PBS
NOVA kicks off the fall season with a return to Ground Zero to witness the final chapter in an epic story of engineering, innovation, and the perseverance of the human spirit: the completion of One World Trade Center. Ground Zero Supertower examines the new skyscraper rising up 104 stories and 1,776 feet from the site where the Twin Towers once stood. In this update of NOVA's Emmy-nominated special Engineering Ground Zero, which featured extraordinary behind-the-scenes access to the struggles of the engineers and architects working at 1 WTC and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, NOVA goes inside the construction of the tower's final floors and the installation of its soaring, 800-ton spire and beacon. NOVA also goes underground to see another engineering marvel taking shape here: the construction of a museum that will house artifacts from 9/11. The greatest test is still to come, though: Will the final product be a fitting site for national remembrance?
Megastorm Aftermath
Premieres Wednesday, October 9th at 9PM/8c on PBS
In October 2012, superstorm Sandy cut a path of devastation across the Caribbean and the East Coast, killing hundreds and doing tens of billions of dollars in damage. To many, it was a wake-up call. Now, one year after Sandy's deadly strike, correspondent Miles O'Brien and NOVA follow up on the 2012 film Inside the Megastorm with a fresh investigation of the critical questions raised by this historic storm: Was Hurricane Sandy a freak combination of weather systems? Or are hurricanes increasing in intensity due to a changing climate? What can we do to prepare ourselves for the next Sandy, and what progress has been made toward making our urban infrastructure more resilient? Much of Sandy's wrecking power was due to an extreme storm surge that left large swaths of New York and New Jersey underwater. And with sea levels on the rise, flooding will only become more frequent. NOVA examines the role of global warming in driving these rising seas, and looks at some of the latest extraordinary engineering employed in other areas, as well as what it may take to make cities like New York more resilient in the future.
Making Stuff with David Pogue
Premieres October 16, 23, 30 and November 6th at 9PM/8c on PBS
In this four-part special series, New York Times technology correspondent and best-selling author David Pogue takes a wild ride through the cutting-edge science that is powering a next wave of technological innovation. With his zany humor and zest for discovery, Pogue meets the scientists and engineers who are plunging to the bottom of the temperature scale, finding design inspiration in nature, and breaking every speed limit to make tomorrow's "stuff" Colder, Faster, Safer and Wilder.
Making Stuff Colder
Cold is the new HOT, in this brave new world.. For centuries we've fought it, shunned it, and huddled against it. Cold has always been the enemy of life, but now it may hold the key to a new generation of science and technology that will improve our lives. In COLDER, David Pogue explores the frontiers of cold science from saving the lives of severe trauma patients and cooling a warming planet to ultracold physics, where bizarre new properties of matter are the norm and the basis of new technologies like levitating trains and quantum computers.
Making Stuff Faster
Ever since humans stood on two feet we have had the basic urge to go FASTER. But are there physical limits to how fast we can go? David Pogue wants to find out, and he'll investigate everything from electric muscle cars and ultrafast cameras to quantum teleportation. Along the way, he finds that speed is more than just getting us from point A to B; it's also about getting things done in less time. From the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to UPS headquarters and inside a packed 737, Pogue's quest for ultimate speed limits takes him to unexpected places where he'll come face-to-face with the final frontiers of speed.
Making Stuff Safer
Is it possible to engineer an absolutely safe world for ourselves? In SAFER, David Pogue explores the extent to which science and technology can protect us from monumental forces of nature like earthquakes and epidemics. He challenges researchers to save us from dangers of our own making, like traffic accidents and contact sports. Our increasing reliance on the Internet makes us vulnerable to new risks: Pogue delves into cyber security, where computer experts work to shield us from attacks by hackers and terrorists. Risk is all around us, but can we be safer?
Making Stuff Wilder
What happens when engineers open up Nature's toolbox? In WILDER, David Pogue explores bold new innovations inspired by the Earth's greatest inventor, Life itself. From underwater wi-fi based on dolphin communication, to robotic "mules" and "cheetahs" for the military, to swarms of robotic bees, Pogue travels the world seeing the "wildest" ideas put into action in new inventions and technologies. It is a journey that sees today's bacteria turned into tomorrow's metallurgists, viruses building batteries and even DNA, the Code of Life, put to work in "living" computers. Will the "stuff" of the future take on a life of its own?
Cold Case JFK
Premieres Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 9PM/8c on PBS
Fifty years later, what can science tell us about the Kennedy assassination — and the investigations that followed? The 1963 murder, in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses, was a homicide investigator's best-case scenario. Yet somehow the JFK assassination became a forensic nightmare, plagued by mishandled evidence, a controversial autopsy and, incredibly, a prime suspect murdered while in police custody before he could be tried–all of it captured on film. Now, NOVA follows a group of experts trying to unravel the lingering mysteries of the assassination: private investigator Josiah Thompson; gunshot wound authority Larry Sturdivan; laser scanning specialist Tony Grissim; medical examiner and forensic neuropathologist Peter Cummings; and firearms experts Lucien and Michael Haag. Cold Case JFK is part of a series of specials airing on PBS in November to commemorate the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's death.
At the Edge of Space
Premieres Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 8PM/7c on PBS
Between the blue sky above us and the infinite blackness of space lies a frontier full of enigmas that scientists have only just begun to investigate. At the Edge of Space takes viewers on a spectacular exploration to probe the earth-space boundary zone, which is home to some of nature's most puzzling and alluring phenomena: the shimmering aurora, streaking meteors, and fleeting flashes that shoot upwards from thunderclouds, known as sprites. Discovered in 1989, sprites have eluded capture because they flicker into existence for a mere split-second—40 times faster than an eye blink. NOVA rides with scientists in a high-flying weather observation plane as they hunt for sprites and finally succeed in snaring them in 3D video, gaining vital clues to unravel their mystery. NOVA also combines advanced video technology with stunning sequences shot from the International Space Station.
Asteroids: Doomsday or Payday?
Premieres Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 9PM/8c on PBS
The asteroid that exploded in the skies over Siberia injuring more than 1,000 and damaging buildings in six cities was a shocking reminder that Earth is a target in a cosmic shooting range. From the width of a football field to the size of a small city, these space rocks have the potential to be killers. In a collision with Earth, they could set off deadly blast waves, raging fires and colossal tidal waves. But some audacious entrepreneurs look up at asteroids and see payday, not doomsday. Some asteroids are loaded with billions of dollars-worth of elements like iron, nickel, and even platinum. While NASA plans an ambitious mission to return samples from a potentially hazardous asteroid, would-be asteroid miners are dreaming up their own program to scout for potentially profitable asteroids. Will asteroids turn out to be our economic salvation—or instruments of extinction?

On the spectrum between bare skin and full-on foundation, we like to err on the natural side of things. That's why we're huge fans of Pür Minerals's brand new mineral-based tint, which works simultaneously as a moisturizer, primer, sheer foundation, and SPF 20. The creamy formula smooths over all kinds of flaws—from stubborn lines to blotchy redness—with color-corrective pigments. At the same time, it plumps up skin with proven moisturizers and offers broad spectrum sun protection. The lightweight texture makes us forget we're wearing any makeup at all.
I almost did not purchase this product because of the negative things people had said in review. I did not receive a sample in my box so I wasn't sure how I would like it. This product is simply AWESOME. It's not cakey nor does it make my face turn orange. The color is perfect with a great finish. It does have the slightest of shimmer that is just enough to brighten up my face. I used to put on separate primer, moisturizer then pressed powder and this is all in one and looks so much better than the individual products all together. Extremely happy with this product.5
I love this product, because it is not heavy and I don't feel like it leaves a thick coat feeling on my face. I use it over a very light moisturizer and an under eye circle primer/corrector. It has some sparkle in it, so it doesn't leave your face looking dull and flat. Sometimes, in the afternoon, I'll apply a face powder in the areas where I feel shiny, but that is usually only necessary when I've been sweating. Love this product and love that it doesn't make my face breakout!5
This product has made my Birchbox experience well worth it! I have been subscribed to BB for almost 2 years. I received this product April 2012 and I still use it to this day. I always rack up my points and use it on this tinted moisturizer.
Everything it says it does, it DOES! I love that it is a 4-in-1 and it lasts about 8 hours, which is more than fair! You can have light coverage if needed, or you can build it up. Depending on the season, I do both.
I have yet to try other product form Pur, but I still plan to. The sample I received was a decent amount as well as it lasted almost a month.
I am not the type to wear heavy foundations because I prefer more natural looks on my skin and this product fits that!
I really love this 4 in 1 tinted moisterizer. I'm not a person that likes the feeling of a foundation, concealer, or otherwise heavy make up, but I can use a little something to even out my skin, so this is perfect. It doesn't feel like you're wearing a mask, it moisterizes without feeling oily. It looks great, feels and feels great. What's not to love?5
I received a sample of this in my BB a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. It is the best Summer all-in-one; its light and provides full coverage. I am pretty fair, and it gives me a natural glow while covering any dis-colored spots and/or blemishes. I use it with a light powder over top and I am all set for the day. No re-application needed.
Definitely recommend this for anyone in need of a light and perfect Summer cover all.

For the latest information about salary packaging iPads & Tablet computers, please click here.
Currently, Smartsalary's salary packaging options cover only three portable electronic items:
• laptop computers (including iPads)
• mobile phones, and
• personal digital assistants
However, recent changes to the tax laws mean that we can consider electronic items beyond these 'traditional' options. The only restrictions to what we can offer are:
1. the electronic item must be intended primarily for use in the performance of your ordinary employment duties, i.e., it must have an obvious work function;
2. the electronic item must have an internal power supply, i.e., it must be 'portable' in the sense that it can be used anywhere without requiring external power, and
3. your employer must agree to include the item in the list of salary packaging benefits available for their employees.
We've racked our brains (and our local electronics stores) to come up with the following list of further portable electronic items with potential work uses:
• GPS Units
• E-book Readers
• Dictaphones and digital voice recorders
• Portable headsets, and
• Cameras
. . . but it occurs to me that you, our customers, are much better placed to populate this list than we are!! So I'm asking for your help – are there any other portable electronic items out there that have the potential to help you undertake your day to day employment activities? Reckon it's likely that you'd package one of these?

Last Saturday, The Guardian posted a story about a new photograph of blues legend Robert Johnson discovered on eBay by Steven Schein eight years ago, but only recently authenticated. The now restored photograph shows Johnson holding his guitar next to Blues Hall of Fame inductee Johnny Shines, who died in 1992. This is only the third verified image of Robert Johnson ever discovered, though others have claimed to be such.
As it turns out, forensic artist Lois Gibson actually confirmed Johnson's identity in the photo years ago, after being commissioned by the Robert Johnson Estate in 2007. You can read a little about that process by checking out this Vanity Fair article, posted in 2008. It's a supplement to Frank DiGiacomo's story, Searching for Robert Johnson, which is online here:
Because the image had just recently been listed, by a New York–based antiques dealer, bidding was still at a reasonable $25, but Schein guessed that the ending bid was going to be many times that initial figure. He had just sold a beautiful 1920s Stella acoustic guitar—a favorite among the old country-blues musicians—and when he added together the money he'd gotten for that and some extra cash on hand, he came up with a budget of $3,100. If someone spends more than that, he figured, the bidder will also know it's a photo of Robert Johnson, so it will be protected.
A co-worker of Schein's set up a computer "snipe" program that automatically bid on the picture up to the specified limit, and Schein held his breath. Approximately $2,200 later, he held the photo in his hands. What had he gotten for his money? An extremely fragile, three-inch-by-four-inch photo that bore no identifying marks that could be traced to a photographer's studio, no date stamp that could establish when the picture had been taken, no provenance whatsoever save for a note from the seller saying he'd purchased the photo in Atlanta. Schein was still convinced that he had found and purchased a photo of Robert Johnson and Johnny Shines. The question was, could he convince anyone else?
It's a great read, and as much about Johnson as it is about the photo. Anyone wanting to see or hear more should check out the UK documentary The Search for Robert Johnson, which you can watch on Youtube below. Eric Clapton and Keith Richards make an appearance, as does Johnny Shines.

Good Life
"Trapped Inside"
Look into my eyes
for in silence I speak,
read the lines on my face
see the tears on my cheek.
my world is now crazy
it's a challenge each day,
I need your love more than ever
and I need you to pray.
With an arm and leg which no longer work
and unable to talk,
they brought me here for therapy
to teach me how to walk.
Treat me with dignity
for I still have my pride,
the same person I was yesterday
only trapped here inside.
My mind is not as sharp
my thoughts are suppressed,
but sometimes if you share life stories
my memory will be refreshed.
Take my hand as I walk
the guardian angel by my side,
we'll travel the journey together
as all fears are cast aside.

After illustrating The Owl Service I am very happy to say the Folio Society returned and asked me to illustrate a short story for their magazine. I think I may have mentioned before but I love illustrating short stories and this was no exception. It was a dark, grim and gritty tale called Hollow by the author Breece D J Pancake. Here are two illustrations from the series of double page spreads I created.
I like characters in stories that I essentially dislike, loathe even but whom I can perhaps feel for at the same time, perhaps even understand why they are as they are however abhorrent that is to me. The Bunny Munros, (as in The Death of), Eucrid (And the Ass Saw the Angel), Frank (The Wasp Factory) Hollows Buddy is similar. I will be reading more of the late Breece Pancake for sure.

From Concept to Contract
The Path of an ITVS Proposal
You've got a bold story that needs to be told. One that hasn't been seen before, with the power to spark social change. ITVS can give you the funding and support you need to complete your documentary-in-progress, then air it on public television.
Our Open Call initiative invites independent filmmakers to propose a single nonfiction program for broadcast on public media. Open Call has two funding rounds each year, with application openings in Winter and Summer. The review process can take up to 15 weeks.
How We Evaluate Open Call Applications
- Your project should be compelling, innovative, and well conceived for public television; meet the ITVS mission; and appeal to a national broadcast audience.
- Your treatment should clearly describe the visuals, structure, and style of your project and address your target audience.
- We evaluate your work-in-progress sample for its production values, presentation of characters, and visual style.
- Your production team should be experienced and capable enough to complete the program on schedule and within budget.
- You should be able to demonstrate credible access and rapport with your proposed subject and story.
The Review Process
Each complete application submitted to Open Call is assigned an ITVS staff member and a peer reviewer. Our peer reviewers are ethnically and geographically diverse members of the independent and public media communities.
After a careful review, the top applicants are chosen to advance as finalists. You'll receive an email that lets you know if you've been selected.
Finalists submit a full production budget and answer additional production questions for a feasibility review. A five-person panel of producers and industry peers reviews all treatments, screens work-in-progress samples and discusses the merit of each project.
Our programming and production department reviews the projects the panel recommends for funding, then proposes a programming slate to our content strategy team. ITVS President and CEO Sally Jo Fifer approves the final funding recipients.
Open Call applicants who are awarded funding, may receive amounts averaging between $150,000 and $350,000. Applicants who are offered Open Call funding are invited to attend a Producer Orientation at the ITVS offices in San Francisco.
For more information, see Open Call.

In information technology, L1 and L2 refer to job positions at companies that provide technical support. L1, or level one, is an entry-level position. Level 2 is a more advanced position that a level 1 would typically be promoted to after gaining an appropriate amount of experience. Level 3 is another common position in tech support.
Level 1 technical support engineers provide basic help to customers, including password retrieval, printer troubleshooting and routing calls to L2 and L3 specialists if required. They may also be required to call outside vendors for help when the need arises.
Level 2 support handles specialized tasks that an L1 is not trained to handle. This might include software installation problems, configuration issues and hardware repair. Hardware repair may be done on- or off-site.
Level 3 is reserved for highly specialized tasks such as database administration, network problems, server repair and infrastructure issues. Specialists at this level are regarded as the go-to people for new, previously unresolved problems that require lots of experience and skill.
Level 4 and level zero are terms that may be used in any given company. L4 usually refers to outside vendor support, while the latter is a term that describes an automated system that can be accessed by users via phone or website.

text: Peter Regan takes a break outside of his tiny home at the Green Street Church in Nashville [Joe Buglewicz/Al Jazeera] Nashville, Tennessee - Wednesday afternoons are a busy time for Deacon Caleb Pickering. He stands outside the Green Street Church in Nashville waiting for food donations for the weekly free community meal. Behind him several steeply pitched, tiny roofs rise over a fence in the backyard of the church, a homeless tent community called The Sanctuary. These tiny homes have brought attention to the church and its desire to play a role resolving the Music City's growing problems with homelessness and a shortage of affordable housing. Peter Regan, who has been a resident of the camp for about a year, describes the tiny houses as a 'stair step' to his own permanent residence [Joe Buglewicz/Al Jazeera] The concept began when a small tent community was established some four years ago at the church. When, in 2015, Reverend Jeff Carr conceived the idea, crowdfunding more than $60,000 to construct and place several tiny homes at the campsite, Pickering and the other church members gladly accepted the units. The location of the Green Street Church on a one-way road surrounded by industrial buildings and close to a city bus line proved ideal. "From there, it was kind of an organic growth," Pickering explains. "It's one small step at a time, and we just keep saying yes." Peter Regan, who has been a resident of the camp for about a year, describes the tiny houses as a "stair step" to his own permanent residence. His affordable housing vouchers from the city have arrived after nearly a year's wait, and he expects to move out of the tiny home he has lived in for the last six months within a matter of weeks. "I started in a tent, then moved up to the [tiny homes]," says Regan. "Then you hopefully get into your own place. That's the goal." The tiny homes are a response to an affordable housing crisis that continues to grow in the city. Public housing has a 3,000-person waiting list, and Section 8 vouchers, which provide rent assistance for eligible low-income families, have a 14,000-person long waiting list. As a booming city, Nashville is not alone in this struggle, and others like Seattle and Austin are also turning to tiny houses. "We're still not fixing the affordable, permanent housing solution, but it's a pretty decent band-aid for the time being," Pickering says. "We're helping 20 people or less, but you just need more people doing their little group of 15 or 20 and you can make a dent." As the camp evolves, Pickering anticipates that all the tents will be replaced by donated tiny houses, perhaps by as early as the end of the year. He also hopes to bring electricity to the homes, which are already pre-wired. While Pickering says he isn't naive about the scope of the affordable housing crisis, he and the Green Street Church are happy to play their part. "We're glad to do what we're doing, but at the same time we feel like we're helping civically [and] socially the greater conversation about what this can look like if it's successful."

Another Jot share for you today…you can see the magazine here
The Confetti collection by Crate Paper was totally the perfect collection for documenting my little girls birthday party! The colours and the elements within were just spot on and I was so wrapped to get my hands on it! I decided to go for a bit of a vertical design for this one.
There is a mixture of chipboard, stickers and ephemera on this page…oh and patterned paper too of course!
The little cake platter chippy piece was perfect to rest my photo on…I added a die cut bow to it on a thin foam tape.
The flag I made with a piece from the die cut sheet and a toothpick from my kitchen! Gives the look of the flags that have been included in the recent collections without the price tag :)
My last Jot share will be here soon, I hope you have had a chance to check the mag out and see what the other Jot Girls and contributors have created!

Warwick, MC matmen prepare for L-L Tourney Warwick Manheim Central
By: BRUCE MORGAN Record Express Sports Editor, Staff Writer
First things are first for the Warwick wrestlers.
Early this week, their thoughts weren't going any further than their Section One showdown with unbeaten Solanco on Wednesday night.
Once they stepped off the mat with the Mules, however, their attention was going to turn pretty quickly to the L-L League Tournament, slated for this Friday and Saturday at Conestoga Valley High School.
"There won't be (a problem gearing up for Leagues)," Warwick coach Ned Bushong said.
Manheim Central skipper Troy Sunderland doesn't expect motivation to be a problem for his wrestlers either with L-L League bragging rights on the line in Witmer.
"I think the attitude's been good and I think we're right on track for where we want to be as far as progressing and developing," he said.
Both the Warriors and Barons have goals to grab multiple individual medals, along with placing among the top teams. In 2012, Warwick took 13th in the team standings with four place-finishers, while Central ended up fourth with eight medalists.
"I expect to place higher this year (than 13th)," Bushong said. "I would hope to be in the top six. But, you can't tell. Right now, we're wrestling well. I can't complain about the way wrestling at this point. We have a lot of bouts between now and the end of the season, so we just have to wait and see."
Warwick has established itself as one of the top teams in Section One this year. As of press time, they were tied with Manheim Township for second place while holding a 4-1 league record (12-3 overall). In Section Two, Manheim Central (5-1 L-L, 5-3 overall) is tied for second with Garden Spot and the Barons had a solid finish at their Manheim Tourney in December, taking seventh out of 13 teams and claiming seven individual medals.
"I'd be pleased with (top four at Leagues)," Sunderland said. "Obviously, Township and Solanco have balanced teams and good teams that will score a lot of points in a tournament setting, and Warwick has some tough (wrestlers). I mean, there's a lot of individuals here and there that will score some points. We just need to turn in a balanced effort like we did (at the Manheim Tournament). We need to get a lot of guys placing and a lot of guys in the semis and as many guys as we can to the finals to score the big points. We've got to battle in every weight class."
The Warriors return two place-finishers from a year ago in Josh Charles, who won bronze at 106, and Colin Schnupp, a seventh-place medalist in the 145-pound weight class.
Senior Tom Devenney, who is currently ranked number two in the District Three Triple-A 285-pound rankings with a 15-0 record, was unavailable to compete at Leagues last year due to a medical condition. Both he and freshman Devin Schnupp (19-0, 2nd-ranked at 106) had key bouts against Solanco's Bo Spiller (top-ranked at 285) and Connor Sheehan (number one at 106), respectively, last night (Wednesday) against the Mules. The outcomes of those bouts were also likely to decide who received number one seeds for the L-L Tournament.
"If Tom and Devin win, we should have two first seeds," Bushong said.
Seniors Steve Woolley (17-3 at 160) and Charles (16-4 at 113) and junior Logan Stroh (15-4 at 126) are among the others that Bushong expects to make some noise.
"I expect to have Devin and Devenney finishing high, Woolley finishing high, Charles and Stroh … I expect all those to finish fairly high and placing," Bushong said. "Then it's hard to say after that. (Ryan) Gray (12-7 at 170) should do pretty well in the tournament. I expect Colin Schnupp (11-6 at 152) to be placing in it. With (Ethan) Quinn (7-10 at 132), (Matt) Mousetis (7-9 at 138), (Tyler) Esbenshade (8-7 at 145), they'd all be capable of placing. If you lose two before you get into the consolation round for eighth place, you're out. So it's hard to say. None of them are out of it."
The Barons, meanwhile, have three returning place-finishers from last year's L-L Tourney in Kyler West and Rey LaSanta, who took fifth at 106 and 195, respectively, and Ben Metzler, a seventh-place finisher at 126.
West (18-9), a junior, will get a test this year moving up to the 113-pound weight class.
"Kyler's had to make some adjustments going up a weight to 113 and he's wrestling some kids who are a little bit bigger, a little bit stronger and he's had some battles in the league," Sunderland said. "So it will be a good test for him for the post-season to see how he does here at the League Tournament."
Central wrestlers who could earn seeds in the top three or four include juniors LaSanta (15-6), Metzler (18-5 at 138) and Tyler Rhoads (11-6 at 160) and freshman Jared Siegrist (21-5 in the 145-pound weight class).
Metzler and Siegrist both reached the finals at the Manheim Tournament and earned silvers, while LaSanta and Rhoads placed third and sixth, respectively.
LaSanta and Pete Michael have been interchangeable at 195 and 220 this season depending what the Barons need in dual meets, but Sunderland's gut feeling was that LaSanta would wrestle 195 at the L-L Tournament.
"I think (eight place-finishers) is reasonable," Sunderland said. "If we're going to place in the top four, then we're going to need to have that many placers again (as they did in 2012). I think we're capable of that and more probably. Having seven underclassmen place at Manheim, I think probably a couple more — maybe nine or 10 — would be a goal for us."
There will be five rounds of wresting in Session One on Friday, beginning at 4 p.m. and continuing through 10 p.m. Competition will include preliminaries, first-round and quarterfinals in the championship round, along with two rounds of consolations.
Wrestling resumes Saturday morning at 10 a.m. with Session Two. This includes the third round of consolations, with the semi-finals and the fourth-round of consolations to follow at 11:30 a.m., followed immediately by the consolation quarterfinals. The consolation semi-finals and seventh-place matches begin at 1:30 p.m.
At 4 p.m., the announcement of scholarship winners and the induction of the 2013 Class of the L-L Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame will be held. The championship finals, as well as the third and fifth-place medal matches, will be held concurrently, beginning at 4:30 p.m.
In dual-meet action last week, Manheim Central hammered Lampeter-Strasburg 49-16 in a Section Two battle last Wednesday, Jan. 16 and they suffered a hard-fought 33-32 non-league loss to Spring-Ford last Saturday.
The Pioneers won three of the first six bouts and grabbed early leads of 6-0 and 16-12. But Central ended the match with eight straight wins, with four of its five falls, to pull away.
Scoring pins for the Barons were LaSanta (1:55), David Fantom (4:46), Metzler (2:52), Rhoads (5:34) and Brock Fittery (3:02). Austin King added a 3-1 OT win at 152, while Joe Giffin (6-2) West (3-1), Jordan Esbenshade (8-1) and Siegrist (8-1) chipped in with decisions.
J.J. Sanchez added bonus points with an 11-2 major in the 170-pound bout.
Last Saturday, Spring-Ford overcame a 27-18 deficit with four bouts left by ralling for a 33-32 victory over the Barons in Manheim.
The Rams earned falls at 220 and 285 and then a decision at 106 to go up 33-27. West did all he could to score six points at 113, but had to settle for an 18-2 tech fall in 5:04, leaving the Central matmen just short.
Earlier, the Barons overcame an early 15-3 deficit as Siegrist won by fall in 4:30 at 145, King pulled out a 4-3 win at 152, Rhoads scored a fall in 3:59 at 160, Fittery earned a 6-4 decision at 182 and LaSanta flattened his opponent in 1;10 in the 195-pound bout, giving the Barons a nine-point lead. Unfortunately, though, it wasn't quite enough. Fantom added a 4-0 shutout win in thee 132-pound weight class.

Hello, I read this forum since long time ago and I've learnt a lot from you all... I follow your struggles, rejoyce with the good news and I have cried many times with the departures of dearly loved members of this board. I've posted this in other board, where I used to post -I thought someone else would post it here but, since it's not happening, here I go. I think it could be helpful to some. Immunotherapies may be not the mainstream cancer treatament yet, but certainly they are 'here' and they are not totally un-accesible.
This is a Cancer Trial Finder for Immunotherapies only (http://www.cancerresearch.org/cancer-immunotherapy/clinical-trial-finder) put together by the Cancer Research Institute . They say you fill that form and they email you back with suggested trials, meaning that you can 'talk' with someone about options.
(Just for you to know some background: the Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953 by Helen Coley Nauts to continue the work begun by her father, Dr. William B. Coley, who pioneered immune-based treatments for cancer, and is considered the "father of cancer immunotherapy". One of the finest cancer immunologists of the world, Lloyd J. Old, was part of the CRI during 20 years, until his death in 2011. The Scientific Advisory Council is formed by, basically, the top immunologists at the MD Anderson, Sloan-Kettering, Dana Farber, Fred Hutchinson, Johns Hopkins, etc.))
The Cancer Research Institute site has a lot of interesting information. For example, there is a free ebook, Cancer and the Immune System: The Vital Connection to download, and also a Helpbook For Patients.
The bottom part of this image is a quite illustrative infographic about the functioning of the immune system (larger here; click to enlarge, and then scroll down)
You can also ask for some guide at email@example.com and call them at (800) 99-CANCER (800-992-2623)
Information on what to consider about enrolling in immunotherapy clinical trials, including how immunotherapy trials may be different from trials of other types of treatment, what to look for, common exclusion criteria, and additional questions to ask: http://cancerresearch.org/cancer-immunotherapy/about-clinical-trials/should-you-participate
Colorectal cancer immunotherapy page for general information about immunotherapy and colorectal cancer: http://cancerresearch.org/cancer-immunotherapy/impacting-all-cancers/colorectal-cancer
Some 'tips' from them, about how to evaluate an immunotherapy clinical trial:
"What Should I Look For?
The following are some of CRI's recommendations for when evaluating clinical trials of investigational cancer immunotherapies. For help on interpreting information found in clinical trial records, go to http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/help/how-read-study.
● Although you are guaranteed to receive experimental treatment in phase I trials, the agents being tested in these trials have not been fully evaluated for safety and you may not receive the optimal dose. In randomized, later-phase (phase II and III) trials, the safety of the treatment has been established and it may have shown signs of clinical efficacy. In randomized trials, however, you are not guaranteed to receive the treatment under investigation.
● CRI believes that immunotherapies that combine different agents that target or modulate different mechanisms of the immune system represent the most promising treatments currently in development. Therefore, we recommend clinical trials of combination regimens involving multiple immunotherapies or an immunotherapy with another kind of treatment, such as chemotherapy, that may enhance the anti-cancer effect of the immunotherapy. One exception to this recommendation is in the case of checkpoint blockade or similar immune modulating therapies. These have shown promising and sometimes dramatic results as monotherapies in a subset of patients. Moreover, many of these are very new in development and may not be available in combination regimens.
● Vaccines that use short peptides of antigens have historically shown poor results. If you can determine the form of the antigen used, CRI recommends trials of therapeutic vaccines that use protein or long peptides, the latter of which may be preferable over the former, although additional studies are warranted. "
And sorry about any English mistakes -it's not my own language : )
Jun 24, 2013 - 2:47 am
interesting stuff, didn't know about this org. (your English is MUCH better than my Spanish)
Jun 25, 2013 - 8:31 am
You're welcome!
This is a big, old and important organization but the development of new (cytotoxic) drugs has precluded during years almost everything coming from the immunotherapy field. Hopefully, after ASCO 2012 and 2013, this is changing.
Jun 25, 2013 - 5:57 pm
Immunotherapies have saved my life so far, I am contacting them about other trials.
thanks. i put this on my blog as well.
Jun 26, 2013 - 7:39 am
This is a great organization. It is mind boggling to think they have been around so long and we are now just starting to see immunotherapies.
Jun 26, 2013 - 6:04 pm
No More Chemo: Doctors Say It's Not So Far-Fetched June 26, 2013
"When it comes to taming tumors, the strategy has always been fairly straightforward. Remove the offending and abnormal growth by any means, in the most effective way possible. And the standard treatments used today reflect this single-minded approach — surgery physically cuts out malignant lesions; chemotherapy agents dissolve them from within; and radiation seeks and destroys abnormally dividing cells.
There is no denying that such methods work; deaths from cancer have dropped by around 20% in the U.S. over the past two decades. But as effective as they are, these interventions can be just as brutal on the patient as they are on a tumor. So researchers were especially excited by a pair of studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine last week that showed a new type of anti-cancer drug, which works in an entirely different way from chemotherapy, helped leukemia patients tally up to an 83% survival rate after being treated for two years.
""The field is moving toward using the right drugs at the right time in the right patients," says Dr. George Demetri, senior vice president of experimental therapeutics at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. "We're moving toward a more precise understanding of cancer, and being able to tailor therapies toward an individual's cancer."
In the case of the NEJM studies, researchers were able to target an active receptor on immune cells responsible for enticing them to grow out of control, blocking the protein and essentially shutting down two different type of leukemia tumors.

Thanks again Mia...

You're welcome, Pete, Janderson, smokey! Feel free to respost.
Immunotherapies are more advanced for melanoma and blood cancers (like leukemia) but the clinical trials are starting to show the good results for solid cancers, like colon, since one year ago.
I want to share something more, hopefully to make some of you smile. I've been following this since a couple of years ago, it hit the news months ago (New York Times and such) but now they've made this little video that went viral, since a month ago:
Dr Carl June's work, on leukemia:
I put the video in minute 3:00 to see Dr June's expression these days, when I need some hope.
He received the 2012 William B. Coley Award for Distinguished Research in Tumour Immunology, by the Cancer Research Institute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b7SDEeEkD8 You can see there Dr Wolchok -Memorial Sloan-Kettering-, whose immunotherapy for melanoma was the big news on ASCO 2013- handling the prize to Dr June. Both are part of the CRI, the organization behind this immunotherpies trial finder.
A webinar from Dr June: http://youtu.be/1sA_oz_1P5E
Jul 02, 2013 - 5:42 pm
i have never had any regrets in ditching standard chemo after it failed me and gambling on immunotherapies.
sometimes in life if you gamble you win, these videos are inspirational, we just have to hang on a bit longer, the answer may not be a new chemo drug but a car activated tcell.
a little hope is all i need, these videos prove that immunotherapies have so much potential.
a sincere thanks

Cro--oo-o-oo-w! Yay! Our favorite intergalactic, film-riffing janitor, MST3K's creator and main mocker, Joel Hodgson, will be at Texas Theatre on Saturday night! There's also a massive celebration of low rider culture at the Dallas Contemporary, a riotous relaunch ofRite of Spring
by the Joffrey Ballet, and a visit by Robert Ballard -- the discoverer of a little luxury liner called the Titanic -- at the Winspear.
Liven your inner spirit party animal and pounce on the weekend using this handy guide. Share it with your nearest and drunkest, and click on the event titles for more information. I'll see you out there. (I'll be the one rioting to Stravinsky.) Thursday 1.17 Robert Ballard at the Winspear -- In addition to being Earth's biggest cheerleader, Robert Ballard has the coolest job title ever: National Geographic Explorer in Residence. (I'm changing my business cards immediately.) He'll discuss life at the ocean's base, the Titanic, his philosophy about science education with today's youth and why we should invest in Earth. He's fascinating, and a steal at $25 a seat.
Artful Musings at the DMA -- We're all hungry to see Red, Dallas Theatre Center's upcoming show about the life of artist Mark Rothko. Since it won't open for a while longer, consider tonight's "Artful Musings" your painterly amuse-bouche. Moderated by poppa bear Maxwell Anderson is this discussion between art conservator and expert Carol Mancusi-Ungaro and Red's director, Joel Ferrell. There will also be a few scenes performed, so get excited, egg heads.
An Evening with NFL Star Everson Walls -- Know this: NFL legend Everson Walls is one stand-up dude. He's in town tonight talking about "Friendship and Sacrifice on and off the Gridiron," a topic he knows first hand. When his former teammate and longtime friend Ron Springs needed a kidney, Walls gave up his own. Now he's the MVP of life, not bad Walls. Not bad at all.
Friday 1.18 100 Year Anniversary Tribute to Rite of Spring -- Whether it was Stravinsky's cacophonous stew of chords and tones or the choreography, crazy outfits and ritualistic human sacrifice that was to blame, is still a topic of debate for music historians. Most likely, it was the combined drenching of all of those factors that caused Rite of Spring's very first audience to break out and riot. Yeah, what's now considered "classical," could really be categorized as noise music's embryo. Wrap your brain around that. The Joffrey Ballet will be in town this weekend -- a treat in itself -- and it'll perform Rite of Spring with the original choreography in honor of its century old debut. See it Friday or Saturday.
Two New Exhibitions at the MAC -- Word, 2013: You're lookin' great for art -- especially if we're using the MAC's new shows as an indicator. Here you'll see work by A&M Commerce School prof Michael Miller along with selections by former students Trenton Doyle Hancock, Daniel Kurt, Lawrence Lee, Robyn O'Neil and Jeff Parrott. Don't miss Jasmyne Graybill's Flourish filling up the side space.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Pablo Francisco at Addison Improv -- His mind is like a Kinder Egg, you never know what weird little puzzle is waiting to be assembled inside this popular comic. Francisco's in town folks! All weekend! And he's brought an army of alternative personalities to keep him company. Don't worry: they saved you a seat.
Late Nights in the Arts District -- These are the good times to live in Dallas. Our arts scene is EXPLODING, our cultural hub got a complete revamp and our local institutions have gotten hip to new technology and its ability to reach a younger crowd. This Late Nights is a reflection of all of that: Pop by the Nasher for a beautiful party in the garden or check out the Tiny Thumbs video art arcade happening at the DMA. Also: there's booze.
Saturday 1.19 Four Absolute Must-Attend Art Openings -- While last week we cheered on the Dragon Street galleries as they aired out their newest 2013 shows, this Saturday's openings border more on the experimental side of things. That's our favorite side, FYI. I've written a special guide so that you can make it to all four -- beginning with the incredible Charles Mayton at the Power Station, traveling to bicycle adoration at The Public Trust, exploring the best of Cuba at CentralTrak and closing with a tribute to low rider culture at the Dallas Contemporary, by Chicago artist DZINE. You'll need to see all of it. The Gypsy Wagon's Sixth Annual Rummage Sale-- Southern shoppers consider yourselves warned: This is the big annual bargain throwdown at Gypsy Wagon. It spans two days, but die hards will want to get there at Saturday's 10 a.m. opening. I mean, what if you can finally afford those pink boots?! You NEED those! Bring cash for this indoor, wings-out, shopping free-for-all. Joel Hodgson of MST3K at Texas Theatre -- He used to write comedy for folks like Jerry Seinfeld, then Joel's little cable access program and passion project, MST3K, was picked up by Comedy Central. We're all weirder, better humans because of that. He's in town for one-night-only, and he's presenting the classic MST3K episode of The Pod People, followed by a VIP meet-and-great, and finishing with an awesomely multi-media rich program called "Riffing Myself." In that last bit, Joel unlatches the compression chamber to reveal more than 300 slides from the early days of MST3K along with video and anecdotal blurt-outs. The show's gotten rave reviews at its previous 8 reveals, so don't sleep through your chance to see it in Dallas. By tickets for part, or all, of the evening.
Sunday 1.20 West Side Story at Bass Hall -- Snaps! Dance Fights! Hair comb switchblades! There's a reason why this show is still a very favorite of everyone everywhere -- it's timeless. This is the final day to catch it at Bass Hall so do that or regret it.

Fission Uranium (TSX: FCU) President Ross McElroy: 2nd Well-Mineralized Hole Confirms and Expands Newly Discovered High-Grade Zone at PLS Property in Athabasca Basin
Gerardo Del Real: This is Gerardo Del Real with Resource Stock Digest. Joining me is President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission Uranium (TSX: FCU)(OTC: FCUUF), Mr. Ross McElroy. Ross, thank you, for joining me once again.
Ross McElroy: Good afternoon, Gerardo. Good to be with you.
Gerardo Del Real: Well, exciting news. You had a news release a few days back. The headline reads, "Fission confirms R1515W Zone with second well-mineralized hole: 48 meters total composite mineralization." And I'm going to go ahead and just let you fill in the details. It's an important piece of news and I'm hoping you can share your insights on it.
Ross McElroy: You bet. It is an important piece of news. If the readers recall, I guess it was around March 20th, we put out results of our initial discovery hole, which was 539 and it's on the 1515 West Line. That was a really good hole. We've had indications there was something out there. We were poking around with the RC drill and we had nearby core holes that were telling us that there was smoke in the area. So it gave us a reason to continue testing.
We hit high-grade mineralization on hole 539 and at that point, we developed a core hole program to see if we could understand the zone better and get a sense of its geometry, something to grow on for future programs.
So, with that in mind, we've completed the first two follow up holes after that and that's what we put out in the news the other day. So holes 547 and 553 were follow ups of that original hole.
547 was drilled to the north and it did not really encounter much in the way of radioactivity. It had a lot of other good signs but it was outside of the mineralized boundary.
But when we step back to the south in hole 553, we hit an even stronger zone than the discovery hole. Same elevation, we're about another 15 meters further south. The zone's now wider, better mineralized. We're getting a sense now as to where the zone actually is located. We're really quite happy with the results of 553.
There's still two holes yet in this program to follow up with that we'll be testing outwards along strike there and see if we can start to develop something on this zone. That will segue quite well with the summer program focusing some attention in the same area. The R1515 West Zone is now starting to look good.
Gerardo Del Real: So Ross, what's interesting to me is that, if I recall correctly, this is now the third land based zone and, again if my memory serves me right, you were able to drill the other two obviously pretty efficiently and pretty successfully. This zone is obviously open in multiple directions. What's going to be the follow up? I understand that you still have two holes pending. What does that look like and when can we expect that to happen?
Ross McElroy: Well you're right. This is another land based target and it's a further 500 meters to the west of the other zone that we know of which is the 840 West that we've been developing. We discovered it last year, 2016, and also did some holes on it this winter.
So now we're in a brand new area that really, as you mentioned, is open in multiple directions. It's open along strike. It's open updip, downdip. We don't know the breadth of this zone yet. We only have two holes that are pretty well mineralized at this stage. I'm sure there will be more to come but we'll continue to step out along strike and updip, downdip and just sort of expand it. We'll probably be doing it at 30 meter centers as we go out. That's typically how we're able to evaluate these zones.
You know our hope is, obviously, that this zone can grow substantially. There's lots of room. The geophysics looks pretty impressive as we move out to the west. We're very encouraged by all the signs that this could be another significant zone for us.
If everything goes along the right path, we'll be able to develop some size, some grade. And as the other zones will be, they'll be brought into a future resource estimate. Now that's getting a little ahead. We need more than holes obviously into it but I think our plans will include a significant amount of drilling in the summer of 2017 on the new R1515 West zone.
Gerardo Del Real: Fantastic. Well I think we'll have a clearer picture of what that looks like once we get these next two holes and, hopefully, you'll make some time for us, Ross, and come back on and talk to us about those once you receive the results.
Ross McElroy: Sure. I'll be very happy to come back and explain how the other holes happen and probably to give a bit of an idea of how the overall Winter Program was. We're very happy with results again at PLS, another program where we've been able to deliver from having, I guess you could say, a good concept, a good idea of where to test something new and to see it deliver the goods as a strong mineralization out on the R1515 West. We'll do discovery. That's what it's all and that's what PLS continues to do. Just continues to deliver exceptional results.
Gerardo Del Real: Fantastic. Ross McElroy, Fission Uranium. Thank you again.
Ross McElroy: Very good, Gerardo. Thank you very much.

Memo to self…
Came across this great 7-point life philosophy during a web search for something entirely different.
Sometimes I really love the holes in the matrix.
…must try and pay more attention to this stuff
7 Life Suggestions (with minor amendments)
- Make peace with your past so it doesn't spoil your present.
- What others think of you is none of your business.
- Time heals almost everything…if you give Time, some time.
- No-one is the reason for your happiness except YOU.
- Don't compare your life journey with others; you have no idea what THEIR journey is about.
- It's all right not to always know all the answers – just don't stop looking for them.
- Smile. You don't own all the problems in the world.

Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Roaring Brook Press; First Edition edition (August 17, 2010)
Summary: Playful and lighthearted with a subversive twist that is signature Lane Smith, It's a Book is a delightful manifesto on behalf of print in the digital age. This satisfying, perfectly executed picture book has something to say to readers of all stripes and all ages.
My review: I read Lane Smith's It's a Book to my six-year old son and his smile never wavered until the end when he wanted to hear it all over again. That's the proof that a picture book is good. The story is about a monkey trying to read a book while a donkey, with his laptop on his knees, wonders what has his companion so captivated. Donkey then begins to ask questions about this mysterious marvel Gorilla has and Gorilla, always patient, answers him. His Mouse buddy, conveniently hidden under Gorilla's cap, makes an appearance twice and both times steals the story. By the end Donkey has become a book fan. The illustrations, also by Lane, truly make the story come alive and are so adorable.
I found It's a Book charming, cute and funny. I understand some readers are offended by the very last word used in this book which pertains to the type of animal being addressed. Sometimes we forget children's book writers create their works with their broad audience in mind: not only the children but their siblings, parents and grandparents who read to them.This last word was meant to make everyone, especially the older readers, chuckle. The story itself may seem simple but its message is powerful. In this age of technology with so many gadgets battling for our attention, it is amazing the power of the written word can make some sit and read. No matter what is created and sold to us reading an actual book--any type, whatever the age--will never go out of style. I believe the sheer amount of book bloggers out here can attest to that too.
If you're not offended by one word this picture book is definitely worth checking out.
