Finally! A Great Doc
Really good scratcher replied to Hopeful1950's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisIt seems that those of us with DH often get negative test results for Celiac's. To me it seems the standards are not set correctly. My blood work and biopsies continually come back negative, but my rash pictures certainly show DH in viewing. I have suffered for three years. I have been on a steroid cream or ointment since my first year. Most prescription strength steroids don't seem to help much. However I am seeing a team of Dermatologists through one of the local University School of Medicines in our city. Two of the derms keep saying (under their breath) Dermatitis Herpetiformis. They agree it is an autoimmune disease, and are treating it as such. They are supportive and they are puzzled as to why the tests come back negative too. They are trying. They have encouraged me to go on the Gluten Free diet as they know this is the best way to treat this condition regardless of the test results. I feel like I am getting the right kind of attention from them. However, I have taken it upon myself to go Gluten Free no matter what. I am still learning about it! I think I am getting some cross contamination as I still have up and downs with the stomach issues, and just recently a few spots on my skin have increased in the itching intensity and have red bumps in some new places. However some of my older spots are trying to clear up. I see an improvement. I also made an appointment to see a Gastroenterologist I saw almost ten years ago for stomach issues I had back then. He's familiar with Celiac's. I certainly want to see what he has to say once I hand him my medical history since I last saw him.

Really good scratcher replied to Really good scratcher's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisI am definitely doing the gluten-free life now. I am new at it. Learning a lot--and there is a lot to learn. It's a little overwhelming and kind of depressing to give up so much right now. I'll get over it and embrace it soon enough, but I know I'll handle it better as I go through the stages of withdrawal from gluten. I have to recognize this is a true, drastic lifestyle change. It is a drastic change from what I was able to eat before. It's going to be hard at first, as I learn about everything. I am so surprised as to the simple things that have wheat, or rye or barley in them. Lots of flavorings have wheat in them. I used to get beef broth and chicken broth for soups and stews in the winter, and most of the regular brands have a wheat base or some kind of wheat flour base in them! Salad dressings have wheat in them! Why? Then I'll have to stop going out to eat and we didn't eat out that often. Restaurant changes-that will be hard. Going out with friends--all things have to be considered. A lot! So it's new, I'm learning, and I'm going through stages of denial and acceptance. It's hard on my family too. I am the only one suffering these symptoms. Strange. Well, one of my sons has some similar symptoms-- so I will be asking him to be observant and then see if he needs tested. He's twenty years old. He says he is lactose intolerant, but it could be a celiac sign. He gets migraines too, fairly often. I had migraines like crazy in my twenties and thirties. I've already told him he may be more susceptible, and to watch his reactions when he eats gluten. I sigh heavily when I can't enjoy some of the foods I used to. Holidays this year will be especially hard. I make the best flour biscuits, but now I guess I won't be able to--at least the way I used to make them. My family will miss that-heck, so will I! I also used to make wonderful home-made yeast bread, but I guess not any longer--at least with the ingredients I used to use. I know I will have to investigate the other types of safe flours available for celiac's, but it will be so hard to adjust right now. It's just too new. Our food budget looks like it will have to increase for the cost of gluten free things. That will be hard right now too. I thought it would be helpful to have the Celiac's diagnosis from the docs just for official records. I guess that's not needed for anything except for sceptics that can't believe gluten intolerance is a real thing. I can make my own chicken stock or broth, and I can probably make my own beef broth too. I am a great cook, and can follow recipe's really well. I am a great experimental cook. Just ask my hubby. He always tells me how good a dish I make, but he'll know he may never get it again because it was recipe #3257 and I won't remember how to do it again! LOL! I can adjust. I can learn to cook gluten free. I am just going through the initial phase of change right now.

Good Dermatologist - Finally!
Really good scratcher replied to tlcounts's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisYou sound like me! These are the exact things I have been going through. I even go the the University Dermatology department! I've been a subject of their Grand Rounds. Still no true DH or Celiac diagnosis! I have been trying Gluten Free for almost a month now. I still have heartburn really terribly, but I feel a little better. My stomach still goes crazy up and down with D and C, and my skin is only partially cleared up due to being recently on Prednisone. My derms do think it definitely is an Auto Immune Disorder and just recently put me on an Immunosuppressant drug called Cellcept. They did try Dapsone-- and for two days my skin started to clear up, and then it reversed because I am allergic to sulphur, and a new and separate rash began on top of the DH. Not fun. They took me off Dapsone immediately. They think this Cellcept will do the trick, but I am on my fourth day of it, and my skin is beginning to get itchy again. It's tolerable, but I just wonder. I am still trying to do this Gluten Free thing, and it's not easy. 50 years of eating wheat with no thought of it being damaging is a very long lifetime habit to break. I have three good sized sons, all over six feet tall and they eat food like crazy. Bread and wheat being a staple and they love it. My hubby also loves wheat and breads. However, hubby will eat any meal I prepare and will not complain. He also cooks some and most of the things he cooks are naturally gluten-free, like grilling, and rice dishes. He makes a mean chili and I hope I can help him alter that a bit so it is gluten-free for me. I am still adjusting to this gluten-free lifestyle. I am trying to keep upbeat about it, but it is so challenging right now and expensive. A friend of mine sent me the tax deductions you can take for being a Celiac. Kind of cool, and to do it right, I want to build an Excel spreadsheet! LOL I work on Excel spreadsheets all day for my day job! You've been gluten-free for a year now. How did you adjust to this?

Really good scratcher replied to Really good scratcher's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisI'll go clear the privacy setting on Flickr. Just didn't want the entire Flickr world to see them. It's ok if my DH friends see them, LOL!
Rash Pics
Really good scratcher posted a topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisO.K. I am not proud of these. I look pretty awful. This is how I have looked now, going on three years. I hope by continuing this new lifestyle, my skin will clear up. I understand though, it can take quite awhile. Sigh. Pretty rashy, I know! Plus for some reason, in these pictures I am retaining water, so these are not pretty. Prednisone seems to keep me from retaining water, so my ankles look a little better today. Now you know why my sign on is Really Good Scratcher!
Medication Other Than Dapsone? Please Help!
Really good scratcher replied to Sad&Itchy's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisI was put on Dapsone for a short while, and couldn't tolerate it well at all and was taken off Dapsone. Now i am on an Immunosuppressant drug called Cellcept. My docs/derms all agree I have an Auto Immune disorder. Cellcept is what I am currently on, but I've only been on it three days. So far so good, but it's real early yet. I am hoping this and going Gluten Free will ease my problems.

Hi pricklypear, I have had two rashes together before when they found out I was allergic to my water pill, and found out sulpher based drugs really give me an allergic reaction. I know how miserable that is!! Dapsone was tried with me anyway and it didn't take but two weeks and my rash got worse. Took me off Dapsone, and now I am on Cellcept, an Immunosuppressant drug. I've only been on it three days. They want me to take weekly blood tests to make sure I tolerate it O.K. I worry about these Immunosuppressant drugs though. I have a friend who is into natural healing and she doesn't want me on these drugs at all. But. Big But. haha no pun intended. But. I am so tired of my skin being red, itchy, patchy, sometimes blistery, sometimes thick and bumpy, but consistently a rash. I hate the itch because like my sign-on name states, I am a really good scratcher, and I'll scratch until the itch eases up and I'll have to clean my skin up from the blood I've caused to flow due to the breaking of the skin. Gross I know, but that's how it's been for me. I'll get cold water running and soak a few hand towels and lay the towels on my skin. That helps for about ten to twenty minutes. Then my skin will itch all over again. It's been a rough road to travel. Right now my skin feels pretty good. I just went off the Prednisone though, and now I am on this medicine called Cellcept. I still itch, but not as much. My hope is that by going Gluten Free, and by trying this Cellcept med, my skin will improve. If the itch goes away, then my scratching will stop! When that happens, my skin will try to improve! Once this happens, I am hoping the Gluten free life will perhaps let me go off the Cellcept med too. That's my plan. Hope it works!
I did see my Dermatopathologist on Monday. The biopsies she took came back negative once again, and so did the blood work for Celiac's. I am a puzzle. I am also disappointed this rash and all my conditions don't point to anything I can work on. It's frustrating!! I want a label for it, because not knowing why this rash is happening to me is for the birds. I have to admit I am depressed about it. I thought I could keep an upbeat attitude towards this thing but it's overwhelming what they can't explain is happening to my skin and my tummy. For some reason my tummy is going beserk lately and I am really, really trying hard to stay on a Gluten Free diet. I figure it certainly can't hurt me to go gluten free. Now they want to test me for H-Pylori and have a breath test taken. I have been on Prednisone for about three weeks,so just now my skin is starting to look a bit better, but I have scarring and pigmentation where my rash has been. The prednisone treatment did not totally clear my skin up, but I itch less and the redness has gone down and so has the thickness of it gone down, it's like it has flattened out and my skin is smoother. My dermatopathologist has put me on an Immunosuppressant drug called Cellcept. At least she does think it's an Auto Immune disorder, but they can't pinpoint which one or give it a name. It's a bit scary this Cellcept drug that lowers your immune system; and I'll have to have my blood drawn once a week for awhile to make sure my white cell counts don't get thrown off and my liver tolerates it O.K. Lots of fun ahead. In the meantime, I scheduled an appointment with a Gastroenterologist. I have had acid reflux for almost 20 years. It's time I get that checked out really well. I would love NOT to have heartburn anymore. I would think going gluten free would help that. I still have acid reflux, but maybe I'm not giving this thing much time yet. I am considering going off coffee. This will be the hardest thing of all for me. I am a dyed in the wool, long time coffee lover. I will try green tea but wow this move will be super hard for me. I will miss coffee very, very much. I am also not looking forward to caffeine withdrawal! Headaches! Oh well, I might as well try it and get over it to see if my acid reflux gets better too. Now I hope my tummy settles down too. I go up and down with craziness there. I seem to have all the "qualifications" to be a true celiac, but the tests come back negative. Yes I have been going gluten free for a short while now, about four weeks. I am very new to it. It's quite an adjustment for me. My dear husband is so supportive he will eat anything I prepare so it's not too hard for me. I have been on steroids forever, mostly in creams and ointments for my skin. I have been putting something on my skin twice daily for over two years now. I would guess the steroids show up when they biopsy, so that throws the tests off. I don't know why the blood work and transglutamination tests came back negative. Maybe I do have something different. I am not the expert, but I really believe in my heart it's Celiac's or more likely Duhring's or Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I just hope one day really soon we figure this out. Plus I would love to get rid of all these medical bills and prescriptions. Thousands of dollars have been spent trying to figure out what the heck this stuff is!
And So It Begins
Really good scratcher replied to LadyCeliac's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseSo what next? I am trying to cut out gluten; I am new to the iodine thing, so want to cut out Iodine, but wow! Gluten and Iodine are in so many standard things! I can eat meat--plainly grown and raised. Good I am a carnivore, so that is good. I also love almost all fruits and vegetables. Sigh, huge sigh of relief! Grains. Still puzzled. Rice is good. Quinoa is good. Seems about it. Not a problem. I am a baker. Not professionally of course, but my family sure loves it when I bake! I guess I need to find out what grains I can use to bake with! After that, I am just open to see what is available to Gluten Intolerant folks such as I am. Suggestions, especially websites and or LISTS of products that are safe would be so beneficial! Thanks for all the support!
Thanks everyone for responding! I am starting to learn so much, and yet,... so much more to learn! It's still REALLY NEW to me! The support here is terrific! I will check in here quite often! To all that respond, a great Thank-You from me!

Love this site for the support! Thank-you for all that have responded! I'll let all of you know what the results say tomorrow! Onward now with my own research, as I feel we are our own best support in our search as to why we have what we have!
Love your reply Marilyn! Thanks for the humor, albeit the truth too~!
It's so hard right now for those of us that are DH!! I have had this skin condition for so long now, my derm wants to name it after me!LOL! It's a mystery to diagnose. I suppose that is because the panels for testing are just not that up to date. This is a relatively new disease in our world. I would venture to guess its because something agriculturally has changed in the last 30 years or so. Boosting wheat production so that is has MORE PROTEIN would be a huge guess on my part, and it also may be a conspiracy theory, but I like it. I didn't have problems when I was young, and neither did anyone else in my family. It seems like I am the only sibling, or member of my family that has ever presented with this disease. So it puzzles me as to "WHY ME?" I do have hypothyroidism, and I have GERD and heartburn or acid reflux to the point of my taking PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS and or Zantec type acid reducers more than twice a day. I hate heartburn. With those things in my life, I know my DH is now Gluten related. Tomorrow (Monday), I see the latest dermatologist who is a DERMATOPATHOLOGIST, who also saw my red blotchy, itchy skin up close and personal. We go over a plan to help my skin condition tomorrow. What I have been reading about gluten free is daunting to someone who has not ventured into the gluten free world all that much yet. I love to go out to eat with my husband, and we may have to cut that down considerably. We love Mexican, and a local restaurant is pretty good with the gluten free stuff. I know the owner very well and I may get her to cut out the cross contamination occurrences once I talk to her about what I know. At least twice a month my hubby and I may get to enjoy a Restaurant meal. It still is hard to think of letting go of wheat products. I love bread and good wheat bread is what I thought was healthy! I am surprised to find out how many things have wheat in them! Salad dressing!! Wow! Pastes and thickeners all use yeast and wheat. Now I find IODINE is a culprit too! Lots of things have IODINE!!! I have been reading about SALS too. OMG That too? What the Heck can you eat??? I thought my attitude was going to be pretty good about going gluten free, but now I certainly wonder! For those of you who have stayed on this lifestyle I admire you! I will certainly use you as my inspiration! I have so much to learn and so much to try. Wish me good luck as I go through this trial. It looks like a lifetime commitment, and that is what I am having a little of a hard time adjusting to at the moment. I know I will get over it, accept it and leap beyond the hardships of adjusting, but right now, I am quite overwhelmed.

By Celia Viggo Wexler
Senior Washington Representative
Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists
Did you hear the story about the federal scientist and the two-headed fish? The fish? Maybe, but likely not the scientist. That's because the scientist in question turned down the chance to tell his story to The Daily Show, discouraged from making the appearance by his bosses at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
And that's too bad, because it would have given a federal scientist the opportunity to directly engage with an audience of millions of viewers, and explain how science won the day. The scientist in question studied the impact of a mining operation in Idaho, linking its toxic by-products to the appearance of the two-headed fish, and refuting mining company claims that the selenium from its mining activities had nothing to do with the mutation.
Unfortunately, scientists are discouraged from speaking in far more venues than late-night comedy shows. Federal scientists are often denied the opportunity to share their research and views directly with much more conventional media and with the general public.
Journalists from local newspapers to big national outlets tell us that federal agencies regularly stonewall them when they seek scientific information, especially around sensitive issues that involve powerful industries. And scientists from dozens of federal agencies have relied on us to help them deal with efforts to suppress their work.
As someone who has been a journalist and a public interest advocate for equal portions of my career, I value both professions. They tend to share one value above all others: a respect for transparency.
When the government keeps information secret or discourages federal scientists from publicly sharing their research, everybody loses.
Rigorous science helps address our nation's biggest problems and inform and civilize public policy debates. Whether it's the damage caused by the BP oil spill, the levels of toxic air pollution in New York City after the Sept. 11th attacks, or the concerns of Food and Drug Administration scientists about new medications or medical devices, the public is harmed when information is kept under wraps.
The reason we have taxpayer-funded research, after all, is to help us study big issues that affect all of us.
Which brings us back to the bigger picture. Fish and Wildlife isn't the only federal agency that has made it difficult for scientists to communicate their findings and views directly to the media and the public. Our Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists is about to release a report card assessing 17 federal science agencies and their written media policies advising scientists on how to deal with media requests and use social media to communicate with the public.
We found a mixed record and lots of room for improvement. For starters, there was the availability of the policies themselves. In at least two instances, agency policies that should be about transparency were themselves not publicly disclosed. While some agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, do a relatively good job freeing their scientists to speak about the oil spills, climate change, and weather events it tracks, others do not. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, for example, which retains strong ties to the industry it regulates, still keeps a tight lid on its scientists.
Since our last report card in 2008, the Obama administration has made some significant strides in improving transparency. Nevertheless, too much institutional and industry pressure on federal scientists still remains.
The First Amendment ensures not only the free-speech rights of all Americans, including scientists, it also protects the free exchange of information. A democracy thrives when information freely circulates and when scientists are free to communicate with journalists, and to use new social media outlets to communicate directly with the public.
After all, the public has a right to know the views of federal scientists whose research they fund. If those scientists have opinions that diverge from agency policy, they should be able to express their views as citizens, provided they make the distinction that their statements are their own and do not represent the position of their employers. Scientists also should have the right to review the way their research is presented to the public to ensure that their work is not manipulated or distorted.
The Obama administration must do more to help agencies live up to his promise to "restore science to its rightful place" and make government more open and accountable.
That's another value that transparency advocates and journalists share: respect for the truth in service of citizens.

Bill Blackbeard, an early scholar of newspaper comics who created an indispensable archive in San Francisco that helped legitimize the study of comics in popular culture, has died. He was 84.
Blackbeard died at a Country Villa nursing home in Watsonville, Calif. His March 10 death, confirmed by Social Security records became public only in late April when news of it circulated on websites devoted to comics.
"It's not an understatement to say that the entire movement of looking at comics as American history and culture would be fundamentally different without Bill and his contributions," said Andrew Farago of the Cartoon Art Museum of San Francisco.
In 1967, Blackbeard set out to write a scholarly history of newspaper comics but was sidetracked by a reality that did not amuse him. There was no comprehensive archive devoted to newspaper funnies to pull from, so he resolved to build one.
He soon realized that libraries across the country were converting newspapers and colorful comics to black-and-white microfiche to save space and then dumping their massive archives.
A comic-strip aficionado since his boyhood in Newport Beach, Blackbeard was aghast over what he saw as widespread disregard for preservation. He called the discovery "horripilating." ("He even talked like an old-time comics character," Farago said.)
"Blackbeard realized this was a major American art form, and it was not being properly appreciated," Farago said. "He took it upon himself to go from library to library with a rental truck and house these collections himself."
To enable libraries to legally donate their discards, Blackbeard founded a nonprofit organization, the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art, headquartered in the home near Golden Gate Park that he shared with his wife, Barbara.
The couple sold their car and many possessions to establish what they believed was "a very necessary and important repository," Blackbeard told The Times in 1971.
By then, their two-story home was already jammed floor to ceiling with bound newspapers and comics-related material. Only the bathroom was spared from doubling as academy space.
His goal was to put together a complete run of every nationally syndicated comic strip, dating from their beginning in the mid-1890s, and he largely succeeded, Farago said.
In the 1990s, Blackbeard estimated that he and volunteers had clipped and organized 350,000 Sunday comic strips and 2.5 million dailies.
He reached into his vast stockpile to contribute to more than 200 books.
Chief among them was 1977's "The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics," considered a seminal book on the history of comics. He co-edited the tome, and his archives were the source of its hundreds of images — from 1896's "Hogan's Alley" to 1976's "The Wizard of Id."
"That book was a real milestone," Farago said. "If I ran through everyone who owned that book or cited it as a major influence, it would be a very impressive 'Who's Who.' "
Before moving to Santa Cruz, Blackbeard negotiated with Ohio State University's cartoon research library in 1997 to take over his collection. Six semitrucks were needed to move it.
It was the largest collection acquired by the library and "one of the most important for the study of popular culture in general and graphic narrative … in particular," wrote library curator Jenny E. Robb in 2009 in the Journal of American Culture. The article was titled "Bill Blackbeard: The Collector Who Rescued the Comics."
William Elsworth Blackbeard was born April 28, 1926, in Indianapolis and moved to Newport Beach when he was about 9. His father, Sidney Blackbeard, was an electrician, and his mother, Thelma, kept the books for his father's business.
As an adolescent, Bill wandered into a neighbor's garage that was brimming with stacks of colorful Sunday comics. After that, he "had no other interest," he later said.
During World War II, he served in the Army in Europe. Upon his return, he attended Fullerton College and became a freelance writer.
Among the books Blackbeard wrote was "R.F. Outcault's the Yellow Kid" (1995), a detailed history of the early comic strip. He also co-edited "The Comic Strip Century" (1995), an unofficial companion to his Smithsonian work.
Although he never wrote his official history of comics, Blackbeard left "a really outstanding legacy," Farago said. "No historian or cartoon museum employee would be where they are today without his work as the cornerstone."
Information on survivors was not available.

That's fair. There were several people who posted complaining about the inclusion of the mansions, multiple cars, and vanity plates - all of which was factual, but could be construed as to paint these guys in a bad light.
I think the government is in a damned if you do, damned if you don't position here. If they don't tell anybody why they arrested the folks at MegaUpload and seized their servers, then it's a huge silent conspiracy. If they point out the reason they did so, then they're biasing the public.
The bit about the mansions and cars I think was to specifically point out these guys were making money hand over fist. When the Pirate Bay case went up, one of the things the owners tried to claim was that they were just some poor dudes offering up a service and just trying, possibly unsuccessfully, to recover some of the site's operating costs. These guys won't be able to do that.
The vanity plates is a hint at their attitude. Unfair to them? Possibly, but it's also factual, and very public statements that the owners of said vehicles decided to make themselves.
Alas, if one even knows these things the lawyer for the defense could have one thrown off the jury because of bias. Twain said something along the lines of needing jurors who are ignorant and don't read.

Classical music: what's in it for young people
Jul 16, 2017
The most sincere form of contact between a young person and classical music happens during a live performance. Last night the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra played at Hamer Hall and I had brought along two of my brightest students; eleven and fourteen years of age. We were going to hear Mozart's Symphony No. 40, granted entry by our student tickets. A large majority of concerts encourage concession tickets for those under twenty-five so therefore, I assign the term 'young people' an upper age
Musikfest Nara 2017: Travelling in Japan
Jun 29, 2017
Over the past month, I had been travelling in Japan seeing more of traditional Japanese culture within their performing arts such as Kabuki, Bunraku, and Noh. They were all enjoyable but since audiences were not allowed to take videos or pictures of those performances, I have decided to share something that I could take videos of. The Musikfest 2017 was the highlight of my stay in Nara, apart from the deer. On a few occasions, I got the chance to listen to Japanese musicians play Jazz,
Carl Vine's Choral Symphony: Weird and Wonderful
May 15, 2017
Last Saturday was the Monash Academy Orchestra's concert of Australian works and one of them was Carl Vine's Choral Symphony - something that I would describe as slightly odd but very entrancing nonetheless. The performance was presented in conjunction with the Monash University Singers as well as students from the Victorian College of Arts Secondary School. Being on stage with this large an orchestra was a first for me but the way Warwick conducted the rehearsals made me feel at ease. Warwick

Our leader hose is a rubber jacketed hose with an internal steel braided reinforcement layer to withstand the maximum wear area behind the nozzle and nozzle skid assembly. The flexibility of the hose helps ease the nozzle and skid assembly in-and-out of the manhole.
This hose is constructed to withstand the harsh environment caused from sewer jetting and cleaning. Abrasives such as gravel and sand that are tossed back from the nozzle jet stream can reduce the life of your sewer cleaning hose. SLH leader hose is available in a minimum length of 30" and lengths up to 50'. Custom lengths are also available.
SLH leader hose has a smooth synthetic rubber cover that is slippery enough to enable the sewer cleaning hose to glide up the pipe behind the nozzle assembly. This jacket feature is not characteristic of generic hydraulic hose with a cloth wrapped outer cover, which does not slide through pipe as easily. Made in the USA.

Paleontological Resources Program
DEA's Paleontological Resources Program develops policy and provides technical and statutory information, guidance documents, and specifications to assist the Districts/Regions with the identification, evaluation, and mitigation of paleontological resources.
Paleontology is the study of life (exclusive of hominids) in past geologic time. It is a natural science closely associated with geology and biology. Scientifically significant paleontological resources are identified sites or geologic deposits containing individual fossils or assemblages of fossils that are unique or unusual, diagnostically or stratigraphically important, and add to the existing body of knowledge in specific areas, stratigraphically, taxonomically, or regionally (based on a definition by Robert Reynolds). In geologically diverse California, vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant fossils are usually found in sedimentary and metasedimentary deposits.
Caltrans and local project sponsors, as part of the project development and delivery process, are obligated to conduct paleontological studies and mitigation when necessary in response to federal and state laws and regulations. Local project sponsors also need to comply with their local laws and ordinances. Caltrans makes the effort to comply with local laws and ordinances when feasible, but is not obligated to do so. When addressed proactively, paleontological resources are not likely to restrict project options or slow project delivery, but they will add to the body of scientific knowledge.
Policy & Procedures
- Chapter 8 of the Standard Environmental Reference (SER) provides an overview of relevant laws and regulations and explains the Caltrans policies and procedures used to identify, evaluate, and, if necessary, mitigate paleontological resources.
- Section 14-7 "Paleontological Resources" of the Standard Specifications
instructs Caltrans construction contractors regarding actions to take when unanticipated paleontological resources are encountered during construction of a transportation project. Section 14-7 applies to all projects conducted on the state highway system. The 2006 version can be accessed through the 2006 Standards "Amendments to the Standard Specs (S1-020)" link on the Office Engineer's Specification page. The 2010 version of Section 14-7 is found on this same page within the 2010 Standard Specifications.
- Non Standard Special Provisions
When the potential to disturb paleontological resources during excavation associated with a transportation project is identified through environmental review, non standard special provisions (NSSPs) must be developed, approved, and incorporated into the construction contract. For assistance with paleontological NSSPs, contact the applicable district Environmental Branch.
External Resources
- Geologic Maps - The California Geologic Survey, in cooperation with the US Geological Survey, has made geologic maps of California available on line. These are small scale maps so they may not show enough detail for a project area, but they are an excellent place to start.
- Museums - Several California museums have helpful information about paleontological resources. Some provide online access to collection information. Examples follow:
- University of California (Berkeley) Museum of Paleontology (UCMP)
- Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
- California Academy of Science
- San Bernardino County Museum
- County General Plans & Related Resources - Some counties have general plans posted online that include valuable information about the geologic formations present within the County and in many cases the paleontological sensitivity of those formations. This information may be valuable when preparing a Paleontological Identification Report. When viewing the documents search on terms such as "formation", "paleo", and "fossils" to find applicable information. Examples follow:
- Contra Costa County
- Mendocino County (geologic information only)
- Orange County
- San Bernardino County
- General Plan (paleontological resource maps prepared but not available online as yet)
- Development Code (see Section 82.20)
- San Diego County Paleontological Resource Guidelines
- Solano County (see the EIR for references to paleontological resources)
- Organizations
- Federal Agencies

Do you have all your holiday shopping done? Not me! The weather in these parts has made me afraid to drive so I decided to order everything online this year. I like instant gratification so I normally do my shopping the old fashioned way but this year that's the way it has to be. One thing I'm ordering for the holidays is this Tarte Limited Edition Vanity Palette.
Tarte's new Vanity palette may look like last year's We Wish You Wealth palette but this one is much better. I don't know about you but I barely touch that back part of the palette. This palette is new and improved and you're bound to use every part of it. It's got the same gorgeous faux finish as the Purse Your Lips Lipgloss Clutch and the same number of eyeshadows and lipglosses as last year. What's different in this palette is the addition of a bronzer, highlighter and 4 blushes. I love the change in this palette, it makes it a much more usable.
Wouldn't it be great if all you need to grab to do your makeup was one piece? Tarte's Vanity palette helps you do just that. This is going to be perfect for my Secret Santa gift 🙂

The Ecuadorian capital Quito boasts the best preserved historic centre in Latin America. Since the city emerged between the peaks of the Andes in the 16th century, it has seen its fair share of earthquakes. Despite this, the centre still counts more than 130 historical buildings which are spread out over 300 city blocks - a wonderful and fascinating place to explore.
In 1978, UNESCO declared Quito's city centre a World Heritage site. The historic downtown lies at an elevation of approximately 9,350 feet and covers around 790 acres. Here you will find narrow streets and squares made from volcanic stone, as well as serene convents, elegant buildings with smooth white façades and Gothic and Baroque churches filled with gold. However, the historic centre is more than just an open-air museum; it is the vibrant heart of the city where you can watch and enjoy the local life both day and night.
La Ronda, Quito's famous artistic street, became a gathering place for writers, artists and musicians in the 1930s. Today, this is a great place to browse for all kinds of crafts including items made of tin or silver, and hats crafted from toquilla, a local type of straw. Everything is made right here. At night, street musicians take over and locals flock to the many bars and restaurants.
The Plaza de la Independencia is the heart of the old city where since the 16th century many important historic events have taken place. The square is framed by important buildings, such as the Palacio de Gobierno (the Presidential Palace), the Cathedral and the Town Hall. Nearby is the Pasaje Espejo, a pleasant pedestrian-only street lined with many restaurants and the Teatro Bolívar – named after Simón Bolívar, the man who fought for the country's independence.
Plaza de la Independencia
You can't miss the enormous 375-feet-high Basílica del Voto Nacional and that's a good thing. This neo-Gothic church building features some very special elements that are not usually seen outside of Ecuador: gargoyles in the form of iguanas, monkeys, armadillos and turtles from the Galapagos Archipelago. It is worth climbing up to the observation deck for a closer look. You will also be rewarded with a panoramic view of the old city and the surrounding area.

Bet on Benn to be even better in 2012-13
Photo by Resolute via Wikimedia Commons
The 2012 season saw Jamie Benn start to get national recognition for the type of player he has been developing into over the course of the prior two seasons. He was the Dallas Stars best player on most nights into 2011-12 despite being one of their youngest. The Stars offseason activities are going to further thrust Benn into the spotlight in 2013.
The question is "Can Jamie Benn actually be better?".
The answer is a resounding yes. Benn, despite already being an elite player, is primed for a significant breakout season next year.
Production Despite Obstacles
At first glance the idea that Benn has an even higher ceiling than he showed last year seems questionable. The 23-year old eclipsed the 60-point plateau for the first time in his career and made his first all-star appearance (despite being the second to last player picked in the all AS game draft).
Benn was productive last season even with significant roadblocks in his path to superstardom. The most significant of those was the composition of the Stars roster. Despite being the most talented player on the ice on any given night, the focus of the roster wasn't Benn. Instead Mike Ribeiro was more often set up to succeed by Dallas' coaching staff.
In his time with the Stars Ribeiro was both a very effective and productive player. Last season was a disaster though and as the season wore on the Stars gave Ribeiro more and more favorable ice time. Benn, on the other hand, got everything else. Despite this his production at even strength was still comparable to the very best scorers in the NHL.
How Does Benn Stack Up?
Evgeni Malkin led the NHL in even strength points per 60 minutes last year at 3.66. Jordan Eberle followed him at 3.08. Tied for third were Steven Stamkos and Benn at 2.88. Over the past four years 30 players have scored more than 2.8 points per 60 even strength minutes. Benn skated in much less favorable ice time than those 30 players cumulatively in each season and in total. Below is how Benn in 2012 stacked up in terms of PP time on ice per 60 minutes, offensive zone start percentage, and Corsi Relative Quality of Competition to his >2.8 points per 60 minutes comtemporaries.
As you can see, Benn faced more difficult competition, took a significantly smaller percentage of offensive zone draws, and got significantly less powerplay time than his contemporaries. These numbers don't even speak to the skaters he usually had on his wings. More often than not Benn skated with Steve Ott and Adam Burish as the season moved forward.
Breakout Warning
The Stars moves this offseason were driven by the dual goals of building depth and featuring Jamie Benn. The aforementioned circumstances stunted his production significantly last season in a year when the Stars could have used a few extra goals here and there to push them into the playoffs. Benn has proven to be one of the top young players in the league, but he has more in him. The Stars recognized this fact, and if Benn can remain healthy he's in for a massive breakout in 2013.

About Theatre & DancePage address: https://www.mnsu.edu/theatre/about/
Page Contents:
- Mission
- General Information
- USITT Chapter
The Department of Theatre and Dance is dedicated to two primary goals. The first is to provide students with high caliber training in theatre and dance that prepares them to create theatre of any kind at any level. The second is to provide Southern Minnesota with a multifaceted, high quality theatrical experience. These goals interweave to provide entertainment and education to those on both sides of the curtain.
About our program
The Department of Theatre and Dance is strongly committed to its students and to its audience. It offers the student a varied array of theatrical and dance opportunities exploring a wide range of dramatic literature and movement possibilities in three performance venues. Based upon a strong academic foundation, bolstered by a strong appreciation of the liberal arts, the Department literally allows students the opportunity to put their lessons into practice. This is done with the outstanding support of the local community. Over 35,000 patrons witness, support, and enjoy the Department's offerings each year, ranking it in the nation's top one percent of colleges in theatre attendance.
Ted Paul, the "founding father" of the Department of Theatre & Dance
Theodore Paul, Jr., who oversaw theatre as it grew into its own department in 1980, passed away on July 14, 2008. For more information about Ted Paul and the lives he touched, click here.
Production Schedule
MSU presents six major theatrical productions in its Mainstage Season. These productions are divided between the Ted Paul Theatre (four shows, usually two musicals and a combination of classic, comedic and dramatic shows) and the Andreas Theatre. One dance concert is held each academic semester in the Ted Paul Theatre. Four smaller plays, selected and produced by students (with faculty advice), are presented in the Andreas Theatre. ETC Theatre is an "open stage" with up to 20 minor offerings each year. Although the department regularly puts on shows that are appropriate for the whole family, most are not recommended for children under the age of 5. If you have questions, please contact the Theatre & Dance main office at 507-389-2118 or call the box office at 507-389-6661 before purchasing tickets.
Highland Summer Theatre is MSU's professional summer stock theatre specializing in light entertainment. Four productions are presented within a nine-week period of time using professional actors and MSU students making their professional debuts.
USITT Chapter
The Minnesota State University, Mankato Department of Theatre & Dance has a student chapter of the United States Institute of Theatre Technology (USITT). This chapter is made up of 15 students who are working on their undergraduate and graduate degrees in theatre technology, including Set Design, Light Design, Costume Design, Stage Management, Master Electrician and Technical Director.
USITT Mission Statement
The United States Institute for Theatre Technology, Inc., is the American Association of Design and Productions Professionals in the Performing Arts. The mission of the Institute is to actively promote the advancement of knowledge and skills of its members and to facilitate communication among individuals and organizations engaged in all aspects of design and production in the performing arts. The mission of the student chapter is to further our knowledge of theatrical design by:
- disseminating information about aesthetic and technological developments
- attending and participating in the USITT Annual Conference and Stage Expo
- attending and participating in workshops organized by Northern Boundary Region Section
- participating in the development of industry standards
- sponsoring exhibits of scenery, costumes, lighting, sound, stage technology and architectural designs
USITT is dedicated to the professional development of men and women who are an integral part of the performing arts community.
Northern Boundary Regional Section draws its membership primarily from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa. USITT-NBS provides a forum for communication of all of us involved in design and technology. It is the goal of this organization to promote the exchange of information that is pertinent to design and technology in theatre, opera, dance, entertainment and allied professions. A web page, quarterly newsletter and annual workshops are designed to meet this goal.
About USITT
Established in 1960 by a dedicated group of theatre professionals and educators, USITT has grown from its modest beginnings in New York City to a truly international organization. Today, USITT has its headquarters in Syracuse, NY, but its Board of Directors is drawn from across the United States and Canada. Elected by the membership, the directors and officers of the board operate a financially sound non-profit organization. This all-volunteer board meets two or three times a year to assess the current activities of the organization and plan for future programs, exhibitions and conferences.
The USITT National Conference and Stage Expo is held in different cities across the country once a year. It gives students a chance to learn new technology outside of the classroom by attending seminars and talking to vendors about their products. This also gives the undergraduates a chance to look for graduate schools to pursue their MFA in theatre.
To learn more about the student chapter or USITT, contact faculty adviser George Grubb. He can be reached at 507-389-5543 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

2012 MLB All-Star Game Lineups Announced
In just over 8 hours the 83rd annual MLB All-Star Game will kick off on FOX. Festivities kicked off last night in Kansas City with the Home Run Derby, where sensation Prince Fielder took his second title as champion. While that's entertaining and all - fans have anxiously been awaiting the lineup for the historic game tonight. AL Manager Ron Washington and NL Manager Tony LaRussa released their lineups this morning.
The batting order for tonights game is as follows:
American League:
1. Derek Jeter – NY Yankees SS
2. Robinson Cano – NY Yankees 2B
3. Josh Hamilton – Texas Rangers LF
4. Jose Bautista – Toronto Blue Jays RF
5. Prince Fielder – Detroit Tigers 1B
6. Adrian Beltre – Texas Rangers 3B
7. David Ortiz – Boston Red Sox DH
8. Mike Napoli – Texas Rangers C
9. Curtis Granderson – New York Yankees CF
National League:

Looking at the batting order, its definitely understandable as to why many are predicting AL domination in the game this year. With power hitters like Josh Hamilton and Jose Bautista, and defensive jewels like Derek Jeter and Adrian Beltre, it's going to be hard to the NL to claim a victory. But you never know in these All-Star Games. Everyone wants to take home the bragging rights and home-field advantage in the World Series
The MLB All Star Game is tonight on FOX and starts at 8pm ET/5pm PT. National League and American League all-stars will face of at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Earbuds tend to go into pockets and bags neatly folded, yet come out an impossibly tangled mess. This durable little contraption allows you to wrap your headphones vertically so they're neater and flatter in your pocket. A totally sweet and unexpected extra: when not housing your earbud cords, the Wrapster works as a stand for your iPhone in landscape mode.
I love this product! I have multiple headphones - each for different purposes. This is great way to control the mess in my bag. It's also s great gift and very inexpensive - all co-workers getting one! Only one challenge - the rubber seems to pick up and show dirt/oil (from hands).4
I ordered the teal Quirky and it didn't look like the white one in the picture - but that is okay! I still really like what I got. I listen to headphones almost daily at my job, so it is great to grab my headphones out of my purse without pulling gum wrappers, keys, pens, etc with them. My only bummer about the product is the volume button on my headphones is placed ever so oddly that they don't wrap tightly/perfectly around the Quirky shape. However, for the price and organization now of my purse? I am happy!5

For the fourth consecutive year, UC Davis Health System has earned "Most Wired" status as one of the nation's health leaders in information technology. The accomplishment is based on results of a national survey conducted by Hospitals & Health Networks.
The 16th annual assessment considers how hospitals use information technology to address and enhance patient safety, quality of care, public health, administrative processes and workforce decisions. This year, 1,900 hospitals, or more than 30 percent of all hospitals in the nation, were represented in the survey.
"UC Davis Health System has made excellence in clinical software technology and infrastructure a top priority because it is an important foundation that enables UC Davis clinicians to deliver high-quality care to our patients," said Michael Minear, chief information officer for the health system.
Last fall, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) awarded UC Davis one of its 2013 Davies Enterprise Awards of Excellence for distinction in the use of health information technology. UC Davis earned the award in part for implementing a sophisticated, accredited EHR system used to improve quality of care and patient safety that extends well beyond the medical center. HIMSS, the nation's leading hospital information technology society, noted that UC Davis has exchanged 3.7 million patient records of different types with non-affiliated health providers in the community and region since 2008.
And two years ago, UC Davis Medical Center was recognized for its achievements in electronic medical records (EMR) implementation, earning Stage 7 status in the EMR adoption model from HIMSS Analytics — the research arm of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. That award, which was an independent assessment of how well UC Davis leveraged its clinical technology, placed UC Davis at the time in the top 1.8 percent of the more than 5,400 hospitals nationwide in terms of EMR use.
"We focus on criteria used by the Most Wired award because they focus on technologies and practices that support clinicians and patients." said Minear. "Achieving the status of Most Wired, as well as the HIMSS Stage 7 designation, reflect the culture of UC Davis Health System, which includes teamwork and striving for excellence."
UC Davis is one of just 17 institutions in California to receive the Most Wired award this year. The honor will be formally presented at the annual Health Forum and American Hospital Association Leadership Summit later this month in San Diego.
Background on Most Wired
Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, a publication of the American Hospital Association, compiles its "Most Wired" list annually using survey results from hospitals and health systems throughout the United States. Participating organizations are surveyed for use of IT in four focus areas: Infrastructure; Business and Administrative Management; Clinical Quality and Safety (inpatient/outpatient hospital); and Care Continuum (ambulatory/physician/community). Organizations whose responses reflect core development across all four areas are designated as "Most Wired." A full list of award winners can be found online at www.hhnmag.com.
UC Davis Health System
UC Davis Health System is improving lives and transforming health care by providing excellent patient care, conducting groundbreaking research, fostering innovative, interprofessional education, and creating dynamic, productive partnerships with the community. The academic health system includes one of the country's best medical schools, a 619-bed acute-care teaching hospital, a 1,000-member physician's practice group and the new Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. It is home to a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, an international neurodevelopmental institute, a stem cell institute and a comprehensive children's hospital. Other nationally prominent centers focus on advancing telemedicine, improving vascular care, eliminating health disparities and translating research findings into new treatments for patients. Together, they make UC Davis a hub of innovation that is transforming health for all. For more information, visit healthsystem.ucdavis.edu.

Lys referred me to these jackets and we finally got one for Satin...
They are made in Canada so you know they will work for arctic weather (2 below with the windchill yesterday!)
We got it in the mail the other day and it is really well made- and what's better she can run with it on and it won't chafe her arms or come off or anything like that. The fleece part is like a turtle neck and you can even put it on the head to keep the batty ears warm! She wouldn't like that though. She tries to bite it, but she'll get used to it.
I highly recommend. Not cheap, but worth the price.

The Holy Ghost is in us to do more than make us shout. He has come to give us the power to live holy.
This year marks the observance of the 100th anniversary of the Church of God in Christ, the body of believers I am privileged to serve as general supervisor of the Department of Women. Our founder, Bishop Charles H. Mason, was sovereignly led to establish the denomination after having experienced the great move of God during the Azusa Street Revival. Four years later, Mason called Mother Lizzie Woods Robinson to serve with him as the first organizer of the women's department.
During the early years, the women came together on occasion to fellowship, encourage one another and pray. Eventually, their soul-winning and evangelistic work would lay the foundation for the birthing of churches and the expansion of the ministry.

There were three seats and you could plug in your device and pedal to provide power. Not a bad concept, especially considering the menus in most airports, train stations, and bus stations.

Gangnam Style hits one billion YouTube views
K-pop sensation is the first video to ever reach that milestone
When I got up this morning, I immediately went to lookout the window. While it was still pitch black outside (I will never get used to being up at 5 am!) the world was still here. There was no giant fireball, or massive tidal wave. In other words, no apocalypse.
"Ha, you stupid Mayans!" I thought to myself. "What do you know?"
Then, it happened. I saw a piece of news that hit me like a ton of bricks. Something incredible. I should have seen it coming, and yet I didn't want to believe. Was the apocalypse really happening after all?
What was this earth shattering news, you ask? Gangnam Style, the song you kind of liked at first, then couldn't get away from until you wanted to tear your ears off after hearing it a million times, has become the first video to ever get one billion views on YouTube.
1,000,382,639 people have seen the video, which was only put up on July 15 of this year. That means that one seventh of the entire population of the world! The video has been liked 6,101,779 times, and gotten 440,288 thumbs down.
Of course, YouTube could not be happier about the news.
"PSY's success is a great testament to the universal appeal of catchy music-- and er, great equine dance moves. In the past, music distribution was mostly regional. It was more difficult to learn about great artists from around the world. But with a global platform at their fingertips, people are now discovering and sharing amazing music from all over the planet, by artists like Brazilian Michel Teló and Belgian-Australian Gotye," Kevin Allocca, YouTube trends manager, wrote in a blogpost Friday.
"The kind of amazing creativity and unique connection between people all over the world that resulted in this one billion views is only possible with an incredible community of people we're so lucky to have on YouTube. And we can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!"
The video has now been viewed at least one million times in almost 75 different countries. The video is so popular that on October 6, there were more than five million searches for the term "gangnam style" in one day.
Gangnam Style has created over $8.1 million in advertising revenue and has been downloaded nearly 3 million times since July. It has been purchased over 600,000 times in the iTunes store since last month, making Psy the first Korean to ever be the number one artist on the U.S. iTunes chart.
It was almost exactly one month ago, when Gangnam Style surpassed Justin Bieber's Baby to become the most viewed video in YouTube history.
At the time, ChannelMeter predicted that the video would get to one billion views on December 16, but I can cut them some slack for being off by around five days.
Perhaps the best part about any phenomenon of this kind these days are the parody videos. And there have been a lot of them for Gangnam Style.
"From a one-thousand person flash mob in Jakarta to cover videos from Ai Weiwei and Mitt Romney, hundreds of thousands of parodies have been uploaded to YouTube, some of which have tens of millions of views. In fact, fan tributes to Gangnam Style are now being viewed 20 million times every single day," Allocca said.
Here is one of my favorite Gangnam Style tribute videos:

Sam Himself currently lives in New York City by way of Switzerland. Long before he made the U.S. his home in 2010, he fell in love with soul, blues, rock 'n' roll, and country. Spending years creating his own style by merging these genres, the result is an eclectic Americana, unified by his distinct baritone and his guitar-based compositions. "Boatman's Song," the first single off his debut LP, describes the individual experience of global injustice. G— What is your relationship to music? SH—Music is what brought me to the US.

PREMIERE ECHOREV – D.O.L Duo ECHOREV have found a way to turn an innocent reverie into an accessible sound and an output which oozes anthem like quality. With such a gigantic presence this duo cannot be ignored; their music deserves to be played loud in a riveting fashion. Their new single "D.O.L", explores questions of euphoria, a utopian world where love heals all wounds and compassion becomes an all encompassing energy. At the same time it demonstrates the freedom that can be attained within the grips of positivity. This song is an explosion of ecstasy and an enchanting mix of club-like bass and a captivating recognition of the power of love. Listen to the advanced stream of "D.O.L" above.
PLAYIST March 2016 Tracks you need to hear this March including brand new Kendrick, Tinashe gives us another future-soul trap drenched single off her highly anticipated sophomore album, Mike snow teams up with Charli XCX, new selects from El Guincho, Yung Lean and more.

With iconic Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison possibly launching a revenge tour in Cincinnati, the Steelers have all the more reason to find a high-end replacement for one of the most feared defenders in football.
Their target very well could be Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones.
The Steelers hosted Jones earlier this month, and he'd be an intriguing option with the 17th overall pick. If he lasts that long.
Like so many other first-round prospects, it's hard to gauge precisely where Jones will go. A case of spinal stenosis has created concerns about the possibility of a serious neck injury, but Jones has received full medical clearance — and he has performed well in the SEC (a/k/a NFL Lite) after a transfer from USC.
A decade ago, the Steelers traded up to No. 16 and rolled the dice on a defensive player who emerged from USC with a history of concussions. And Troy Polamalu has been well worth the risk.

D.C.'s Free Newspaper Has a Dirty, Unfortunate Headline
Imagine waking up in D.C. this morning and having to muddle your way to the Metro (it's what they call the subway) and go to your government job. Yeah, that totally sucks. Then when you get to the subway you grab a free copy of The Examiner, the Capitol's free commuter newspaper, and it has this headline. Your day just got a little awesomer!
Now, I've made my fair of mistakes (god knows I am king of the typo) and written some shitty headlines in my day, but I never wrote something like "Reader Fingers Murder Suspect" and it wasn't about a movie with Kate Winslet violating Casey Anthony. I mean, what copy editor thought this was a good idea? Do they not get the joke? Ah, who cares. Thanks for the laughs, Examiner.

Hartman Beer Company
We are an avid group of beer drinkers trying to help a good friend pursue his dream of starting a brewery. He's been producing great beers out of his basement for some time now and is getting ready to take one of his beers to a local brewing event later this year. We want to be sure his brew stands out by branding it professionally!
We want this beer to have a broad appeal to all the local folks who work hard and look forward to enjoying a good beer after a long day and an even longer week! We're targeting adventurous Colorado people looking to unwind with a good pint after a long climb, ride, or hike.
We are looking for a logo to represent the Hartman Beer Company.
1. At this point, this logo will represent the company and the initial beer, but there is a chance that as the brand expands each variety of beer will have its own look and feel and this logo will represent the 'parent' or brewery itself. This logo therefore needs some versatility to it and should not focus on a specific type of beer.
2. Although we want this to be 'fun' – we do not want to look cheap or childlike. This is seriously good beer that will one day compete with some of the area's top brands!
3. Because we want to be fun, we don't want anything too elegant. We do not want to come across as 'champagne'. We want the brand to feel accessible.
4. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We will need to print this logo on labels, t-shirts, stickers, etc. so keep that in mind.
Here are links to other local (and rather successful) breweries:
*Note - we like the way Avery Brewing incorporates the letter A, we'd like to try to incorporate the letter H in our logo.
Here's what we are trying to avoid:
We like red and blue - but can be open about colors.
We will need print and web files.

The Episcopal Academy is a preppy school. But what you don't realize is that the people writing these things in are just jealous cause they go to Haverford and lack girls. These people writing in go to one of the rival schools and have the same type cars, with the same "Main-Line" moms, and the same life style. The kids at EA are more real and down to earth then any of the schools in the Inter AC (the correct spelling). Yes EA is misrepresented by losers that put their "sweet sixteen" on MTV. If I am not mistakin though I beleive he was Hanging out with mostly Haverford kids. Episcopal Academy is a great place to go to school and will be ridiculously dominant after their new campus is built.
By the way, Don't be pissed because Episcopal kids can party.

The Episcopal Academy, also known as a small utopia (aside from the not so attractive and soon to be relocated campus) in the Main Line of Pennsylvania, is characterized by its party goer, polo wearing and polo playing, mostly Caucasian students. When one pulls into the Episcopal Campus one would feel as if they were in a luxury car seller's finest garage. Past the cars are the flawless looking girls, 99% of whom have popped collars, play 3 sports or sport north face fleeces, and also have self tanning down to an art. Then the boys, who also share the north face fleece look, wear ck Bradley belts or Roca Wear sweatshirts, and are notorious for their sports, especially EA basketball- where the churchmen win the Inter Ac annually. After school hours, EA kids continue with their athletics by playing some beer pong and also taking occasional wawa trips. Contrary, to the teacher's beliefs EA kids are intelligent and tend to go to off to elite schools across the country after graduation, yet they do not always stay in these schools due to the Episcopal partier mentality. Although many EA students are trapped in an EA bubble, EA would be a lot less interesting without its very competitive rivals, Haverford (where the girls go for boys) and Agnes Irwin (where the boys go for girls they can more "easily" get with). A culmination of this rivalry can be seen on Episcopal/ Haverford Day where both schools compete for a very sacred sweater. Finally, EA kids do work hard, but party harder: they tend to crash daddy's BMW, but always get a Range Rover back in return, they are skilled at chasing a shot with a beer while people are screaming "YOU WONT" in the background- lastly, following these nights they learn to blame their morning-after sickness on food poisoning, to their main line moms and then repeat this cycle the following weekend in order to keep the EA spirit alive.
WOAH Em did you go to Palm Beach over the weekend you look so tan?
No, but I just got a new bottle of self tanner!

Ok so The Episcopal Academy is a very preppy school but there are plenty of students that are not preppy and are "real". it is very main line but so is every other Inter AC School around. Haverford, Anges Irwin, and Baldwin try to call EA a partying preppy school full of nice cars and Main Line Moms, sorry to break it to them but they are too. but oh wait EA is better than them in so much other stuff such as sports. 2005's EA/Haverford/Agnes Irwin Day was great because i mean its not like Haverford or Irwins even had a chance. EA beat Haverford in every sport except for water polo and if anyone saw the football game haverford to a really hard beating that they deserved. And EA also crushed Irwins while they were wearing their bEAt tshirts and decorated their cars thinking that they can just join a tradition with out a porblem. well sorry to break it but no one will ever accept the fact that they join.
"is that an Irwins girl with that haverford kid"
"yeah neither of them can do any better than that"
"but The Episcopal Academy students can!"

Yes The Episcopal Academy is a extremley wealthy school and preppy, what most people reading these entries do not realize is that in fact every other private school on the mainline is too. Most of the people writing these definitions are from those schools and though they are writing that Episcopal students drive nice cars like BMWs, Land Rovers, Audis & Mercedes but they do too so dont complain. Many people also say how EA is mostly white and yes it is, but it has much better diversity than almost any other school on the mainline. They also state the fact that EA is only good at basketball (which is very true), they are also extremley good at Crew, Football, Girls Lax, Cross Country, Girls Tennis and a lot of other Sports so dont complain just because your schools cant compete. Even though some people from Episcopal misrepresent us by hanging out with students from The Haverford School and Agnes Irwrin we can still proove that we are better anyday.
"Did that Haverford Guy just write about how The Episcopal Academy students drive nice cars."
"Yeah but he's to focused on himself to noticed the Range Rover, Jaguar and Hummer parked in the driveway of his 6 million dollar house in Gladwyn, PA"

Look, I know all of you Irwins, Baldwins, Shipley people, and Haverford boys are always hating on us and each other, but this has to stop! Its terrible how none of us can be friends because of the way our schools have turned us against each other. I personally refuse to believe that the Agnes Irwin girls are all lesbians or bisexuals, and that the Haverford boys are all gay. And not all the girls are sluts. Why can't we all just be friends?
Please stop! The Episcopal Academy is not a bad place, nor are al the other schools! Can't we all just get along?
by sickandtired360 September 26, 2009
For some reason, EA kids tend to think very highly of themselves, despite the fact that schools like Haverford, Agnes Irwin, Baldwin and Shipley are ALL better than them at basically EVERYTHING. They did not make the popped collar popped, they are not cool, they are not wealthier. Face it, they are all gay ass new money losers like Hart from that MTV bull shit show.
"that kid's a loser"
"oh that's hart from tv and his EA friends, he must have bought them all their clothes to hang out with him"

text: The Billbored series of artist Dan Bergeron (also known as fauxreel) undermines the all to common visual language of advertising. His hijacked billboards, particularly his series featuring Carl the Plastic Baby, challenges passers-by to consider what they see more deeply. Like much of his work, Billbored investigates identity, consumerism, and the places they intersect. Carl the Plastic Baby, for example, playfully offers an an easy alternative to actual children. A website accompanying the billboard offers visitors the opportunity to buy a "child" of their own – their very own Carl delivered to their home.

- ghettos
- English
During World War II, ghettos were city districts (often enclosed) in which the Germans concentrated the municipal and sometimes regional Jewish population and forced them to live under miserable conditions. Ghettos isolated Jewish communities by separating them both from the non-Jewish population and from other Jewish communities. The Germans established at least 1,000 ghettos in German-occupied and annexed Poland and the Soviet Union alone.
The Germans regarded the establishment of ghettos as a provisional measure to control and segregate Jews while the Nazi leadership in Berlin deliberated upon options to realize the goal of removing the Jewish population.
There were three types of ghettos:
Closed ghettos (situated primarily in German-occupied Poland and the occupied Soviet Union) were closed off by walls, or by fences with barbed wire. The German authorities compelled Jews living in the surrounding areas to move into the closed ghetto, thus exacerbating the extremely crowded and unsanitary conditions. Starvation, chronic shortages, severe winter weather, inadequate and unheated housing, and the absence of adequate municipal services led to repeated outbreaks of epidemics and to a high mortality rate. Most ghettos were of this type.
Open ghettos had no walls or fences, but there were restrictions on entering and leaving. These existed in German-occupied Poland and the occupied Soviet Union, as well as in Transnistria, that province of Ukraine occupied and administrated by Romanian authorities.
Destruction ghettos were tightly sealed off and existed for between two and six weeks before the Germans and/or their collaborators deported or shot the Jewish population concentrated in them. These existed in German-occupied Soviet Union (especially in Lithuania and the Ukraine), as well as Hungary.

Critical Thinking Questions
- Why were there three different types of ghettos?
- How did the differences between the three types of ghettos affect the lives of the Jews, if at all?

The last Nintendo Direct livestream was packed with big news, from the 3DS XL to the announcement that the next Smash Bros. will be co-developed by Namco Bandai. Hidden within the event was the unveiling of Gyroretsu Nageloop, a Magnetica-style puzzle game about working your way to the front of a line by body-slamming people into other people who are wearing the same colored clothes, which causes them all to fly into the stratosphere.
The game is out now on the Japanese 3DS eShop, and it's even more unusual than it initially looked. There is tons of full motion video, canned applause, and... delusion now?
I'm going to beg every eShop publisher that I know and beg them to put this game out on the Western market because I love troubling fun. Catch some gameplay after the jump

March 24 was the last time I wrote here and I guess that is fine. I didn't feel like writing so I didn't. This isn't an apology but a statement of a fact.
It was a weird summer, I will tell you, but it's possible that in the long run I will describe it as a weird summer that was also great. For right now it is going to stay at weird. I don't know when summer "officially" starts, and what the fuck is officially anyways, but it definitely started in May. And so since May, I have been living differently. I will not get into details because that's not the point. But what I'm trying to say that if you read enough Chris Kraus and spend enough time in the universe of girls at night on Tumblr, while you're already spending the rest of your time completely analyzing every single detail of every single interaction in your life, you too can live this wonderful lifestyle of hyper-awareness, a complete abandonment of a sense of space and time and a cater to you(rself)-attitude where living on impulse takes you better places than considering and waiting and being patient.
(but doesn't it always?)
You know––you don't need drugs//you have your brain––sort of thing)
All I wanted was to have adventures and I did in more ways than I expected (but like, duh). Each new month totally changing direction. Everything was new and everything was an experiment and everything was weirdly cataloged in emails and too many gifs of the ocean.
[online/offline/online/offline/whatever it doesn't mean anything]
I reunited with a ghost and a million problems went away. There was open space in my mind that hadn't been available for years and I guess it had a lot more productive ways to fill itself up again. I was lighter. I went on a date (drinks-dinner-drinks) and scared the guy (in a really funny way tho) and felt it was a personal success of my new state of being.
And I mostly listened to the new Fiona record because duh, and yeah there were playlists every month but there's really only one song that truly was the song of the summer.
sinden : high demand
Because it is fucking bright just like in 4th of July when I ate hot dogs and hoola-hooped somewhere in Bushwick and felt really free and in control (feel the rain on your skin/the rest is still unwritten etc etc. whatever, it's not my fault that feeling awesome about life has been co-opted by Kotex) and it tastes like fucking jack and cokes and feels like the wind hitting my face in the backseat of a cab on the Manhattan Bridge (WAH!). There were a lot of those and some were funner than others but I was going for it. Plus I mean, we all wanna be in high demand you know? Like, all we want.
I feel sorry for my roommate that had to listen to it on repeat every morning for like a month. But I just wanted to swim in it at all possible times.
And now the summer is almost over and I don't even know what my fall vibez are. But tomorrow I am going to the beach. And maybe the day after. I'll think about my problems when I get there. If I ever get there.

Folsom Street East Festival 2011 – A Pictorial (NSFW)
Photos by G.
Yesterday, June 18, 2011, I went to Coney Island's Mermaid Day Parade. The theme is sea creatures and celebrates the beginning of Summer so people of all shapes and sizes dress however they want. I go every year as it's a one day festival where people are so free. You see quite an eye full at the Mermaid Day Parade. But by comparison to the Folsom Street East festival which was held a mere 24 hours later, the Mermaid Day Parade looked like Disneyland and my boundaries about what it means to be free have been pushed out a lot further. It was really incredible. Primarily a celebration of the gay leather/fetish/kink community, the festival brought out the good, the bad, the thin, the fat and the drop dead gorgeous. Some people were dressed up in costumes, some were not, but one thing was abundantly clear – nobody was passing judgment on another's sexual desires! The event was really such an inspiration. I hope more people can get their acts together to stop spreading hate and start spreading the love. You can get involved at Open Love New York's official website. The photos that follow are a random sample of some of the things I saw today. Again, it pushed my threshold of what I thought was being free to new levels and if these pictures offend you in any way, don't you think it's time you asked yourself why, when there are so many problems in the world, this kind of thing bothers you? Some of the pix you're about to see have partial nudity, so if you have a closed mind that you can't pry open even for a few moments, don't read on. Also, stay tuned for a special "Folsom Street East" Hotties post coming soon! Special thanks to all those that posed for me!
I really enjoyed rule #4: "Even with consent, no demo or "scene" involving blood or other fluids will be permitted."
Open up and see more (NSFCMP – Not Safe For Closed Minded People) pix after the jump.
