There's no such thing as a normal you. Do you talk to your boss the same way you talk to your dog? Probably not. This is called code switching.
Inspired by NPR's Code Switch, hosts Kadian Vanloo and Antonia Dorn share stories about why and how youth code switch:
Speaking of race, affirmative action was under scrutiny at the Supreme Court of the United States this week. It's been illegal in Washington state since 1998, but people still have opinions about it. RadioActive's Yafiet Bezabih asked Seattleites what they think.
This month RadioActive hosts Yafiet Bezabih and Ann Kane are fixing to surprise you. First we bring you three amazing stories about the challenges and hardships of moving to a new country. In collaboration with Renton High School's Arrow newspaper, Renton High school students from Somalia, Ethiopia and Mexico share their experiences of coming to America and adjusting to the weather, navigating the language barrier and finding friendship.
Seattle-based Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' single "Thrift Shop" has topped the charts multiple times. But besides getting people humming along to its catchy melody, "Thrift Shop" is also creating a lot of interest in actual thrift shopping amongst Eastside teens.
Washington state is considering putting tolls on the I-90 bridge that connects Seattle to the Eastside. This would affect the lives of adults who travel to and from Seattle for work, but what about students who go to school outside their Seattle neighborhoods?
Nigisti Hailemariam has been in the United States for over 20 years. She has two kids, a stable job, and a red Honda outside her three-bedroom apartment. But life wasn't always this peaceful for Nigisti. RadioActive youth producer Yafiet Bezabih tells the story of his mother's journey.
RadioActive hosts Sarah Rosenthal and Ann Kane bring you stories created by the newest generation of RadioActivians. They reported these stories as part of RadioActive's 2013 spring workshop:
This month, hosts Sarah Rosenthal and Kamna Shastri bring you stories about the reality of human trafficking in the Seattle area.
First we hear from Kathleen Morris, an advocate for trafficking survivors with the International Rescue Committee. She tells us what human trafficking is and what to look for in a trafficking situation. Then we hear an incredible story from Yasmin Christopher, a law student at Seattle University whose family was trafficked to rural Grays Harbor County from Bangladesh. Finally, RadioActive reporter Katherine Sims brings us to Westlake Center in downtown Seattle where a vigil is held once a month to stand up against human trafficking. She talks to one high school student, Emily Kubota, who has been going to the vigil for two years.
It started with an argument.
Marcus McGuire, 17, asked his mom if his girlfriend could come over to the house. His mom said no and Marcus remembers his mom referring to his girlfriend as a "broad."
Marcus says he snapped.
He started yelling and before long it was World War III. Marcus's mom eventually kicked him out of the house.
Lighting a few candles may not seem like a big deal. But for RadioActive youth producer Dulce Saucedo, lighting candles one night when she was 15 years old meant losing her family's home in Seattle's South Park neighborhood. Dulce, now 16, shares this meditation on the night when she lost everything she owned.
When my house burned down I knew in that moment that my life was going to change. That everything wasn't going to be the same anymore.
Laura "Piece" Kelley is a Seattle hip-hop artist, poet and educator who encourages young people to create music that expresses their lived experiences. A self-described single mom, high school dropout with no college education, she's worked with household names such as Drake, T.I., and KRS-One, and she once read a poem for the Dalai Lama himself.
Maga Barzallo-Sockemtickem, 17, has been battling leukemia since she was 15 years old.
Before being diagnosed, Maga would do anything that let her run, especially play soccer.
Then one day, Maga felt weak and had to lean on a bus stop near her school. She found out she had a rare form of leukemia.

Impact of treatment for osteosarcoma
Next Topic
What's new in osteosarcoma research?
Long-term effects of cancer treatment for osteosarcoma
Because there are now much better treatments, more children who have had cancer are living longer lives. Their health as adults has come more into focus in recent years. Just as the treatment of cancer in young people calls for a very special approach, so does the care and follow-up after treatment. The earlier any problems can be spotted, the more likely it is they can be treated effectively.
Young people who survive cancer are at some risk for several possible late effects of their cancer treatment. This risk depends on a number of things, such as their type of cancer, the cancer treatments they had, and their age when they had treatment. For example, the effects of surgery for osteosarcoma can range from small scars to the loss of a limb.
Some other late effects of treatment could include:
- Heart or lung problems (due to certain treatments)
- Loss of hearing (due to certain drugs)
- Slowed or decreased growth and development (in the bones or overall)
- Changes in sexual development and ability to have children (see below)
- Learning problems in younger children
- Development of second cancers (see below)
Not being able to have children (infertility) is not a common side effect of the treatment for osteosarcoma, but it can happen. Older girls and women may have changes in their periods, but normal monthly cycles usually return after chemotherapy ends. Boys and men may not be able to make sperm. This usually returns, but the sperm count may remain low.
Talk to your (child's) cancer care team about the risks of infertility with treatment, and ask if there are options for saving fertility, such as sperm banking. To find out more, see our document, Fertility and Women With Cancer or Fertility and Men With Cancer.
Getting a second cancer
Rarely, some types of chemotherapy may cause a second type of cancer (such as leukemia), years after the osteosarcoma is cured. Radiation treatment can also raise the risk of a new cancer at the site of the treatment. But the need to treat the osteosarcoma far outweighs this risk.
Long-term follow-up care for children and teens
To help increase awareness of late effects and improve follow-up care of children who have had cancer throughout their lives, the Children's Oncology Group (COG) has long-term follow-up guidelines for survivors of childhood cancers. These guidelines can help you learn what to watch for, what type of screening tests should be done to look for problems, and how late effects are treated.
It is very important to discuss possible long-term problems with your child's health care team, and to make sure there is a plan in place to watch for these problems and treat them, if needed. To learn more, ask your child's doctors about the COG survivor guidelines. You can also download them for free at the COG Web site: www.survivorshipguidelines.org. The guidelines are written for health care professionals. Patient versions of some of the guidelines are available (as "Health Links") on the site as well, but we urge you to review them with a doctor.
For more about some of the possible long-term effects of treatment, see the document, Children Diagnosed With Cancer: Late Effects of Cancer Treatment.

SBA's 7(a) Loan Program Explained
by kmurray, Community Moderator
- Created: October 30, 2013, 7:49 am
Obtaining financing for your business ventures is often challenging for entrepreneurs. From being in the startup phase to growing your business, you may face difficulties with the requirements of traditional bank loans. But the 7(a) Program may be able to help – it's SBA's primary and most popular program. Here's some insight to see if this is the right option for you.
Am I eligible?
If you can demonstrate a need for funds and have a sound business purpose in mind, you're on the right track. To be considered eligible for the SBA 7(a) Loan Program, your business must meet SBA's size standards and be considered small within your particular industry, operate for profit and you must have reasonable equity to invest.
You're also required to do, or propose to do business, in the United States or its possessions. Another eligibility requirement is that you must have tried to use other financial resources, including personal assets, before applying for a loan.
How can I use 7(a) funds?
The 7(a) Program lets you get loan amounts (up to $5 million) to fund startup costs, buy equipment and more. Here's what else you can do with 7(a) funds:
- Purchase new land (including construction costs)
- Repair existing capital
- Purchase or expand an existing business
- Refinance existing debt
- Purchase machinery, furniture, fixtures, supplies or materials
What are the benefits?
The 7(a) Program offers flexibility, longer terms and potentially lower down payments compared to other financing options. There are also specialized programs for individuals interested in exporting; those located in underserved communities; members of the military community; and small businesses owners looking to meet their short-term and cyclical working capital needs.
What are the repayment terms?
Most 7(a) term loans are repaid with monthly payments of principal and interest. For fixed-rate loans, the payments stay the same because the interest rate is constant. For variable-rate loans, the lender can require a different payment amount when the interest rate changes.
What else should I know?
Keep in mind that SBA doesn't fund these loans directly to small business owners, but banks receive a guarantee that the SBA will repay a portion of the loan if you default on payments. If you think you're suited for a 7(a) loan, check out these resources and a checklist to help prepare your loan application.

seems that the 504 program - especially with refinancing - has been the
dominate program over the last few years - helping both small businesses
renegotiate their debt and allowing banks and other financing companies get
rid of bad debt.
However, being a disabled veteran myself, I really like the Patriot Express
program. But, what I don't understand and hope that they will change in the
future is - if they can create an express program for veterans, why can't
they create a similar express program for all small business owners?
Great outline of the 7(a) loan program and in your prior post the 504 program
- while many people might know that the SBA has these programs, they don't
really understand them at all - nor do their local bankers. Want to really
find out if you qualify and if any of these programs will work for you - call
your local SBA, SCORE or SBDC offices.

I didn't know dogs liked opening presents until I got Sadie. For her first Christmas I carefully wrapped her gifts and placed them under the tree thinking I'd open them for her. Not so! She instinctively knew the gifts were for her and couldn't wait to get into them. Paper was shredded, tramped on, bows and ribbon got dragged all over the house…a puppy at Christmas was a wonderful experience.
So every year since then, Sadie gets to open her gifts first. After watching how excited she is, how utterly happy with whatever is under the wrapping…sets the stage for us to show similar gratitude no matter what the gift. After all, Christmas is about giving…not receiving. Last year, I forgot to let her have her stocking and began packing it away after the holiday. I looked over to the tree area where there was a lot of noise and saw Sadie head first in the box. I couldn't imagine what she was doing until she knocked the box over and scooted out with her favorite chew that had been in her stocking!

- Democrats are moving America forward while Congressional Republicans admit they want to take us back to the "exact same" failed policies of Bush that drove us into the ditch.
- Congressional Republicans are protecting Wall Street, Big Oil, health insurance companies and corporations who use tax loopholes to ship U.S. jobs overseas -- voting against investments that put Americans to work building roads, bridges, broadband, wind turbines, and solar panels that will help America lead the world -- and voting against tax cuts for small businesses to help create hundreds of thousands of local jobs.
The Bemidji Pioneer (Minnesota) - State receives $6 million more in weatherization aid
[MEMBER MENTIONED: Jim Oberstar (MN- 8)]
The state of Minnesota will receive more than $6 million in additional weatherization aid, the White House said Thursday.
The funding comes through the Department of Energy from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act -- the federal stimulus package -- to continue the state's success and innovation under its Weatherization Assistance Program.
From April to June, Minnesota weatherized more than 2,700 homes. As of June 30, Minnesota has weatherized more than 6,000 under the federal stimulus funding, including 875 homes in June alone.
"This is an excellent investment, this $6 million in Recovery Act funding will create hundreds of jobs in the short term, putting people to work making homes more energy efficient," U/S Rep. Jim Oberstar, DFL-8th District, said in a separate statement… [8/27/10]
Associated Press - Biden Touts Stimulus During New Hampshire Visit
…Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that after a slow start, states are on track to weatherize 600,000 homes by March 2012.
…Biden said the total has now jumped to 200,000, with 80,000 homes being retrofitted this summer alone.
'Investing in weatherization is a no-brainer. If we keep up the current weatherization pace, will lessen our dependence on foreign oil by 1.5 million barrels, the equivalent of going out, waving a wand and taking 107,000 automobiles off the road permanently, and saving consumers a lot of money,' [said Biden].
The $5 billion weatherization program is part of about $90 billion in stimulus funds targeted for clean energy and energy-efficiency projects. Biden said it has put more than 13,000 people to work installing insulation, upgrading appliances and improving heating and cooling system -- or about 15 percent of the 87,000 jobs the Obama administration predicts. [8/26/10]
The Deseret News (Utah) - Utah leads in spending highway stimulus funds
Utah leads all states when it comes to the percent of money spent on stimulus transportation projects.
According to a report by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Utah has managed to spend 84.4 percent -- or $180.2 million -- of its $213.5 million allocation from the federal government's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Though $213 million is a small part of UDOT's $3 billion construction budget, that money was put to use to do much-needed projects…
The report states that 3,817 jobs…were created or saved between February 2009 and February 2010. [8/26/10]
Springfield News Leader (Missouri) - Columbia group gets $550,000 for home weatherization
Missouri is receiving $550,000 in federal funds to help weatherize homes.
The money will go to Central Missouri Community Action in Columbia. The federal money will allow the agency to install geothermal heating systems in homes.
The weatherization program is part of the federal stimulus package.
Federal energy officials say more than 4,000 Missouri homes have been weatherized.
They estimate the work to make homes more energy efficient has supported 330 jobs in the state. [8/27/10]
Contra Costa Times (California) - Stimulus funding to promote digital literacy in Humboldt County
[MEMBER MENTIONED: Mike Thompson (CA- 1)]
The U.S. Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) last week announced a grant award to Access Humboldt for sustainable broadband adoption. Access Humboldt will receive more than $150,000 in funding and support from ZeroDivide, a San Francisco-based foundation, for the Generation ZD Digital Literacy Program.
The program, which fits into the goals of Access Humboldt's Digital Redwoods Initiative, is aimed at teaching underserved and tribal youth digital skills in new media, such as video and audio, and ultimately promote broadband in the area.
North Coast Congressman Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, who McLaughlin said helped Access Humboldt throughout the grant process, agreed that digital skills are necessary for youth to be competitive.
"In our globalized economy, the ability to access and navigate the Internet is increasingly a must-have skill," Thompson said in a statement. "The Digital Redwoods initiative will ensure that our underserved communities are able to learn these important skills. This Recovery funding is great news for Humboldt." [8/26/10]
Reuters - US stimulus infrastructure projects 40 pct complete
[MEMBER MENTIONED: Jim Oberstar (MN- 8)]
Work on more than 40 percent of infrastructure projects spurred by the federal stimulus plan is complete, a Congressional panel said on Thursday…
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee said that 19,037 projects representing $35.1 billion of the stimulus funds have been put out to bid and work has begun on 17,820 projects representing $34.1 billion.
'The economic stimulus provided by the Recovery Act has created millions of jobs, and is helping to put the nation back on the road to economic growth,' said Rep. James Oberstar. [8/26/10]

:heart: Really nice values and edges! I'm jealous :D.
Thx Louisa, left a little comment in your SB :)
Sooo, still working on faces. I want a spread of nine. Please feel free to suggest an emotion or expression! Preferably not any of the ones already drawn =) WIP!!!
Take Care!
Very nice dude! I like how soft those portraits look and then you have some big sharp areas that punch out those features!
mmm, really like this style. Great rendering and edge control
Nice spread so far. How about an expression of awe or amazement?
Really awesome stuff! The expressions and gestures in your figures are very convincing! Makes me want to try out your methods.
How about a sensual smirking lady?
fantastic faces and gestures. You are able to draw a dynamic figure, and line of action just stands in each one of them. great work!
Bendragon- Thanks buddy! =) I try to lead the eye and create some focus points.
Agelaos- Thanks! =D I´ve still got tons to learn! Edges are so wonderful =)
Traveler- Thanks! Yes!! Awe, that´s a great expression. Haven´t done that before =) I´m attaching the sketch here in this post. Extra stars and cookies for you ;)
YihyoungLi- Thanks! The key is acting ;) A sensual expression is a great idea, but I´ve done it before (a couple of pages back). I try never to do the same thing twice unless I feel I have something new to add or learn. Maybe next year =)
Ivan Turcin- Thank you very much! That´s a wonderful compliment, since that´s what I´m practicing most. =) I need to become a better storyteller though...
Sooo, 2 more rendered. Like 95% finished? Still might polish them slightly. And also a sketch of a dude in awe, thanks to traveler for the suggestion =)
Thanks! Take care =)
Haha, the girl who's in awe is so funny :D, your rendering skills are great, the faces of the characters look so smooth. I would love to see one in color too. Also how about an expression of despair or crying :P. Keep on the great work.
Thanks D.C, though actually, She´s kinda meant to look plain stupid, like a dumb doll =) and the one in awe is the fat guy. I meant for all of these to be in B&W, as a kinda sketch-rendered thing. I don´t have time to color them at the moment. Maybe I´ll do that despair thing (Great idea!!) in the future, though for now, I´ve got other stuff than faces to focus on. Thanks for the kind words.
BoooM! Done :)
Awesome spread! And great job on the expression of awe. I also thought the girl was a variation of the same. Looks like you have to work on your "dumb doll" expression. *laugh* Definitely an inspiration.
just have to say - you have some seriously cool character concepts and designs in here! I'm very jealous...
I'll keep working towards this sort of character design that you seem to do so easily!
Keep it up
god damn this is crazy
Yo nice stuff!
For this one, you could try reversing the sword and flower, with sword in hilt and flowers in outstretched hand. Maybe have two flowers though? Seems more interesting.
keep it up :teeth:
haha awesome faces and style!I also like the rendering!really original style i love it!
loving the work, lots of character, was really nice to meet you
id recommend trying to subdue some of your value ranges, and i say this to a lot of people - youre already aware of it to some degree but for example
in this pic u have basically the same value range of white to black on his face, his robot arm, his pouch, his belt buckle and the bandages on his arm. it would be a lot easier to read if you only used ur lightest value on the most reflective surfaces (metal) or the focal point.
keep up the good work,
Awesome, awesome sketchbook! Your gesture drawings are beautiful and have a nice flow to them. I really love your stylized characters as well as they have so much emotion and life. Beautiful work and I can't wait to see more from you! :)
Fantastic work! Your paintings are incredible, makes me want to get off my ass and paint more. I really like the rhythm you have going in your drawings! Truly inspiring stuff!
Howdy partners! =D Hope you all feeling good :)
So, I´m back from the Made workshop, a short vacation during midsummer in Dalarna, and changing apartment. Been a blast =) Made was great, learned new stuff, confirmed old stuff, gained more self confidence and exposed myself to critique from some of my heroes =) And I live to tell the tale ;)
I got absolutely battered by the instructors for my poor presentation. I had only done colourprint on cheap paper here at work. That was kinda embarrassing and I wanted to melt through the floor =) But when they looked at it they said that they really liked what I was doing! Coro said that I could obviously draw! =D And Marco explicitly said that he liked my expressions. Wes Burt gave me some very good critique on how to handle details and make them tell a focused story. I need to see the details as parts of a whole sentence, not just words. Also, he told me what was missing in my portfolio, stuff such as process shots, and sketches from the ideation process. Furthermore he adviced me on using ref for tricky lighting and colours.
The instructors like my celtic gladiator most, and my "space pirate" the least. Ill do more stuff in that style ;)
My old classmate, Dennis Chan, employed as environment concept artist at Crytek, told me to study movies, and incorporate more use of lighting to enhance the mood and character of my designs. Great advice! He´s awesome.
Also, I made a ton of new friends. =)
Sorry guys, to tired now to give individual replies. Will do soon! =D
Sketchy Sketches! (of doom). Nothing fancy.
Aaaaand a bonus! :) He´s very explicit. It´s also funny how they`ve put the lighting on the wrong side =D
Thanks for looking. Take care! =D
Your line quality is beautiful and have so much movement! Wow! Nice update! :)
im jealous that you got to attend MADE. :P, i went to the last CA workshop (reverie) and can attest to how awesome those events can be. I can only imagine how Marko and crew set it up. :D And yes You absolutely CAN draw! and drawing is the foundation to any good piece, so having that solidly on your tool belt is a mark of art honor without a doubt. Everything else works on up from there. :) thanks for sharing some of your experience.
just checking in and giving props as usual...;)
Traveler- Thanks buddy! =D That makes me glad :)
Thomas M- Thanks man. It´s not easy. Ever.
Lateman- Hahah! Thanks ;)
MeDrawUC- Thanks for the suggestion! Thanks!
Cameli- Thank you =D
Sleep- Thank you man. Was great meeting you too ;) And that´s some very good advice! The instructors were really driving that point home. "too much black" etc. =)
Aresa- Thanks! =D
Aut0n- Thanks buddy!
SmokenMirrors- Thank you very much! Yeah, made was awesome =) Maybe we´ll meet at the next one ;) Thank you for the encouragement, and I´m glad to be able to share something which others may find useful :)
Carnifex- AAaaaaaw, you shouldn´t have... Thanks buddy :)
Small Wip Update. Please feel free to point out flaws and mistakes =)
Take Care!
Mannn, always a treat to come through here. Love those digital portraits on #610, scar faced guy is sweet, but scars always make things cooler.
Thanks for the bout of inspiration! Lookin' forward to an update on the last post.
There's never enough updates here. More please!

Cool! The last guy looks like he could be a King of Fighters character. Im loving the expressions and the sketchbook stuff. Im going to try out the game if my lousy machine can handle it. It was really nice meeting you; you are a class act sir!
Great all the way around, love the expression and movement in your characters. And I really like the shading on those faces with different expression :)
Jason Scanlon- Thanks a bunch Jason! Was great meeting you too =D I sure hope the game works on your computer, it was made with some very low end specs in mind =)
jskotte- Thanks Man! =D =D =D

Neighborhoods: Lake Park
for coolcanadian – OK, I remember when your group stop by( yea right the restaurant you wanted was not open haaa!!)What was the name of that restaurant,YEP you for got to right it in the comments; all of you were drunk all ready; that why you can't taste nothing.the waitstaff is very professional always,and what about the menu we don't have tuna in our menu.The steak you didn't order med well you wanted it well done.
And the crab cake are made in the morning we don't frees them at all.yes the cake are from a box;just like half of the Milwaukee restaurant. unless you go to a bakery you will not have a fresh cake anyway. the restaurant prepares everything from fresh ingredients all dressings,calamari,chicken rap,London broil,etc...;maybe your taste buds like the salads from McDonald or burger king better not a real thing.
looks like to me you were trying to get free meals; come on bring some money next time you want to eat Down Town any were. and the sea food fresh from the water never is going to taste the same from something the it was deliver miles out(even hours later)the word fresh is your clue(maybe go back to Canada or Maryland).OK for all the people the ever visit us please send comments good or bad we thank you , always a pleasure serving you, sincerly one of your cooks.
A few problems – This is a beuatiful restaurant and the food is excellent but on a recent weekday evening our diner was delayed, the server told us that there was a party of eight that was slowing down service. Since the restaurant was not even half full I can only imagine how slow they get when they are busy. The ladies room had no toilet paper in two of the four stalls , the wastebasket was ov erflowing onto the floor and the flowers were dead and dropping petals onto the vanity. When I told the hostesss she was indifferent and just said " I'll let someone know." I am reluctant to return because of this casual attitude about cleanliness. It makes me wonder about the kitchen and how clean it may me.
They are the best in private dinning and in buffet – We dine at Harbor55o several times in a year,miss the Pieces of Eight, but the building and the crew are mostly the same, if you are looking for that open water,ships sailing by in the warm weather or that chance to watch Mother Nature in her finest weater chances, Harbor 550 is the place. Have had warm and grand experience there for almost 40 years..Please bring you childern and see how dinner can be a family affair. You can't compare the view of the Lake right at your window to anyother lunch, dinner or just let's have drinks with any other spot in SouthEastern Wisconsin or the Gulf of Mexico..
No Lunch Buffet – My friend and I use to enjoy their lunch buffet. We stopped for lunch Jan. 29, 2008 and were told that they stopped serving the lunch buffet a few months ago because it was not profitable. While having lunch off a very and I mean very limited menu there were only two other guests for lunch. I guess thats profitable!!!
Great Weekday Lunch Buffet - at a good price too. – While I haven't tried the dinner menu, I had a great experience with their lunch buffet during the week. We went after 1pm, so it wasn't very crowded, and we had excellent service. The server was prompt and checked on us at good intervals. The buffet had a great selection and I tried almost every item on it! I'm usually not a big fan of buffets, since they seem to sit in the pan and dry out very quickly (especially since the buffet started at 11am). Fortunately, that was not the case, and the food was excellent. The potato soup was very creamy, the mashed potatoes tasted homemade (rather than out of the box), the fish flaked nicely, and even the roast beef was tender and I was able to slice through it with my fork. The cheesecake, while it won't compare to the Cheesecake Factory, was still delicious with its raspberry topping. Oh, and did I mention the $13 price tag... The view is excellent also! Whether you're looking at the lake, or the incredible design of the Art Museum, it was definitely a great dining experience. Based on the other reviews, maybe it isn't the best place for a seafood dinner (did everyone forget that we are in the midwest :)), but I'd definitely recommend this place for an American style lunch. And did I mention free parking...
AWFUL!! – At first glance, this restaurant looks nice - great location right on the water, outside seating...you get the picture. DO NOT BE FOOLED. We were in town on business, and the restaurant we planned on was not open that evening, so we ended up at Pieces of Eight (which we later renamed Pieces of "something else"). I'm not sure what our first clue was that our evening was going to take a downward spiral. Maybe that our server had no clue how to explain anything on the menu, or that they didn't actually have any of the items featured on the menu (no lobster, no tuna...hmmm). Well we went ahead and ordered a crab cake appetizer - bad choice. I think they were still frozen in the middle, and resembled a roll of bread more than a crab cake. Ok, lets move to salads. My "caesar" had some kind of milky looking dressing on it that had no apparent taste at all. At least the lettuce was crisp! Now on to entrees. Only one person at our table of six had any luck, and he ordered a steak (and even that came out well done when he ordered it medium). The Soft Shell Crab was awful - chewy, smelled super bad, and not fried all the way through. I used to live in Maryland - I know what crab should taste like. The scallops were also a bust - just the smell wafting off of them made us all want to run for the hills. The manager finally came over to apologize and offered free dessert. Great - can't go wrong with dessert right? WRONG AGAIN! Three of the items on the dessert tray - carrot cake, chocolate cake, and cheesecake - all looked like they came from a box in the freezer section. The fourth - a strawberry "parfait"- was nothing more than strawberries and Reddi-Whip. Desperate for sustenance, we tried the carrot, cheesecake, and "parfait". Lets just say we would have been better off hitting a convenience store for a box of Little Debbies.
Overall, a very disappointing experience. I think this was the first time I actually wished I'd have opted for fast food.
Worse Everything! – To start, the server mentioned she'd been on vacation for a week in Idaho so she wouldn't be able to comment on the "new" menu. Hmmm, odd comment, but interesting. I figured she must still be in a potato-haze, forgetting that working in a restaurant requires her to at least know SOMETHING about the menu. Here we go....
So, I ordered the Lobster- safe, I thought. Unfortunately the Lobster was not available (is it ever?), so I ordered the Tuna- rare. It came to me with an unappetizing gray color and was universally over-cooked. In addition, there was a strong odor and what appeared to be a tough, over-nuked spot on one side. After several minutes, the server checked-up on the table. After receiving the free feedback, the manager stopped by. He did offer to bring me another order, cooked to the specifications as stated on the menu, but oops, no more tuna in the house. Nevermind, at this point I was filling-up on the undercooked bean side-dish (are beans supposed to be crunchy with crutons on top?) and soupy corn-something in a dish. The manager did offer a free dessert. Tough choice between Sarah Lee's carrot cake, cheescake, or chocolate cake. I selected the carrot cake, but was confused how how to eat it? Do I use a knife to cut the frozen cake and a spoon to pick-up the warm frosting? Lastly, a couple of us glanced towards the cooking station, where the Cook (couldn't be a Chef), dipped his hand into a vat of liquid, pulled out a white piece of something (chicken or fish?), smelled it, smelled it again, and tossed it on the grill. Seriously!!!!!!
Oh, I do have a positive comment. The bread was fabulous! Too bad the butter was frozen. It came back to us a second time with a melted coating. Microwaving must be a special talent at this restaurant.
Not a four star – 8/25/07 My mother made a reservation for 7:00PM on 8/25/07 to celebrate her 60th birthday. There were seven in our party which included my two older brothers who flew in from California for the weekend to celebrate. We arrived 10 minutes early and were seated immediatly. The first 30 seconds were the best 30 seconds of the evening, as I gazed at the open lake and beautiful art museum. Our table was not big enough for a party of seven. We packed ourselves into the seats as the children behind us banged our seats with a filthy floor beneath them. We ordered calamari which took 50 minutes and wasn't any better than Applebees. An hour later our dinner was served. My mother and I received cold prime rib, broccoli, and potato. I ate my dinner because I was very hungry. My mother wanted hers served warm so she sent it back. The manager served a new steak cut very thin to reheat and serve fast. By that time, eveyone at the table was done eating. The party was very upset and didn't until then realize that no one had received their salads. The manager only offered a complimentary dessert. It was a terrible experience. Needless to say, I do not recommend and will not be returning.
Good and Bad. – On August 10, 2007 we seemed to have the same experience as fun4jz. Although the service was excellent and my steak was great, a special of the day was very disappointing. We did not ask for a manager, but I think he was sent by the wait person since she had to apologize for the meal. We also found him to be totally indifferent to the situation. The salmon special seemed to be covered in raw dough. There was also supposed to be a special side (cabbage and apple) salad that was missing, and never did receive, when they brought the salmon. The reason given was that the chef was late getting out of a 2 1/2 hour meeting. They seem to have eliminated a lettuce salad with any meal -- I had a $31 steak which only contained a large stump of overly developed brocholi and baked potato. The bread was wonderful. The last time we were there we were blown away with a lettuce salad that contained a terriffic dressing, walnuts, and several other toppings.
We have been going there since the early 1970's and were never disappointed before. It is a beautiful setting on the water. I hope corporate can make some changes and give people as memorable an experience as we used to have.
Terrible service. Waited 15 minutes for wait staff to arrive at table. Finally spoke to "manager" who had an indifferent attitude & made no effort to rectify the problem. This occurred on 8/7/07 at 2:30 p.m. Not welcoming to my guest from out of town. Will not return. Only positive is the view. Food has been of inconsistent quality. Obviously the service is unacceptable.

The current study examined one of the most common anxiety producing public speaking situations, classroom presentations (presentation anxiety). Specifically, factors which may differentiate presentation anxiety from public speaking anxiety were assessed. A sample of 97 college students completed a battery of self-report measures which assessed the participants' levels of test anxiety, social support, self-talk, self-efficacy, and public speaking and presentation anxiety. The results revealed a low correlation between public speaking anxiety and presentation anxiety; whereas, test anxiety, self-efficacy, negative self-talk, and family support were all correlates unique to presentation anxiety. These findings indicate that although public speaking anxiety and presentation anxiety share some similarities, unique factors may distinguish the two anxiety types.

Hello All
I am pleased to report a successful installation of iDeneb 10.5.6 on my Toshiba Satellite A100-02M!!
I read up for hours before attempting it, but couldn'y find any specific info for my laptop so thought I would go ahead anyway. After a fair bit of trial and error, about 4 or 5 reinstallations, I found that there weren't many fices to add when installing the software.
I set up with the following options ticked:
Chipset Support ->ICHx
GraphicDrivers ->Intel GMA Graphics->GMA950->GMA950
AudioDrivers OtherAudioControllers->AppleAzaliaAudio
I also chose the Firewire Remove fix, and the Battery one too. Oh, and X11, plus all of the applications!
That was all it took to get it up and running - USB's all working, wireless internet. Not tried ethernet yet, but don't use it anyway!
I then upgraded to 10.5.7 using iDeneb package and that worked a charm - no need to reinstall any drivers or anything else!!
Laptop now runs at an incredible speed, and is brilliant!!

NSSF's GUNVOTE Initiative
In the 2010 congressional election, some 46.2 percent of women and 45 percent of men 18 and over reported voting, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Gun owners tend to be more active at the polls than this average, but the point is there is a lot of room for improvement. "More gun owners need to vote," said NSSF President Steve Sanetti. "It's critical that they do, and that they consider closely what candidates are saying, or not saying, about our firearms freedoms."
Voting in each year's elections is a process that begins by making sure to register, then becoming educated about the candidates running for office and discussing choices with family and friends so that they understand the importance of voting to protect America's firearms freedoms. The final step, of course, is going to the polls.Next election, get out and #gunvote.

Every spring, locals and visitors alike look forward to the carpet of color that unfurls across the desert landscape.
Zooming along Arizona's highways, you'll see everything from brittlebrush and lupine, to verbena and primrose, to the unmistakable golden poppy.
Robert Steve, Arizona Highways magazine Editor in Chief, says 2013 is shaping up to be a great year for wildflowers, in part due to the recent rain storms.
"We get reports from our photographers out in the field and they're finding flowers in places they haven't seen them in a few years," he said.
These wild beauties scream to be photographed, so Robert offers us a few tips for making your photos pop.
"Where you can find a single poppy you know a yellow poppy surrounded by a bunch of purple lupines or adjusting your aperture to blur our the background," he said.
You don't have to be a seasoned backpacker to access these blooms. Robert says there are several viewing locations, like state parks, where you can simply drive up and hop out of the car.
"Lost Dutchman State Park out the east side of the valley by Apache Junction.. very easy trails out there that pretty much anybody can do and that area is always just flowing with flowers."
Robert also recommends Picacho Peak State Park and Catalina State Park as easy access locations. But if you don't have the time to hit the back country, you can always just head to the Wildflower Trail at Desert Botanical Garden.
For a full overview of all the locations in Arizona you can see wildflowers, be sure to check out the March issue of Arizona Highways.

State housing agency makes $1.2 million commitment to maintaining homeownership in Motley County
(AUSTIN) — The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and State Representative Rick Hardcastle today announced awards totaling more than $1.2 million to Motley County and two local communities to fund home repairs for low income homeowners, helping residents maintain homeownership while providing a shot in the arm to the local economy.
The Department awarded $410,000 to the county and another $435,000 each to the cities of Matador and Roaring Springs which will help rehabilitate a combined 15 homes owned and lived in by income eligible households.
"I am extremely pleased to know that some of my constituents most in need will soon enjoy the benefits of a new or substantially improved home," said Representative Hardcastle who joined the Department in announcing the award. "This assistance helps residents who can no longer afford to make the needed improvements to their home that guarantee a safe and healthy living environment. I encourage TDHCA to continue its commitment to maintaining homeownership in rural portions of our state."
"By repairing deteriorating homes, we are not only helping maintain homeownership for more families, we are also helping maintain the vitality of rural Texas communities," noted Michael Gerber, TDHCA Executive Director. "Repairing the homes of low income households also benefits the regional economy through an influx of construction payroll salaries and increased taxes and fees that help fund essential public services. This is a win-win program for both the county and state."
TDHCA awards home repair funds to qualifying applicants through the Department's HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, which helps repair or replace homes owned and lived in by low income homeowners.
Assistance may include roof repair or replacement, as well as repairs to the electrical and plumbing systems. If a home has deteriorated to the point it no longer is cost effective to repair, it may be demolished and replaced with either a traditional "site built" home or a manufactured home.
Qualifying applicants include eligible cities and counties, public housing authorities, Community Housing Development Organizations and other nonprofit housing groups, and certain for-profit organizations which then work with eligible households at the local level.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the funding source for the HOME Program. The program serves households earning no more than 80 percent of the area median family income, which for Motley County equals an annual income of $37,200 for a family for four. Please contact the appropriate unit of government directly for further information about these awards.
About the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs administers a number of state and federal programs through for-profit, nonprofit, and local government partnerships to strengthen communities through affordable housing development, homeownership opportunities, weatherization, and community-based services for Texans in need.

"I ordered another invitation suite and got this insert card as an add-on. Looks great and am very pleased-- only wish is that it came in other paper colors!"
"You have to have these if you're ordering the Posh Palm invitations. They are very nice to have as reception cards and add a nice touch rather than trying to print your own on cheaper paper. It's the little details that count."
"Loved design. Fonts were great, along with colors. Appreciated the proofing. Very thorough.Extremely pleased with experience. Well worth the extra money paid. Only wished that they had matching 'programs' and 'menus'. I had to switch designs."
"I transformed the reception card into an information card for our destination wedding. I titled it "Wedding & Travel Details." I included our travel agent's name and website, the name and website of the resort and of course our wedding date and our wedding website. It turned out beautifully and arrived in less time than promised. I was thrilled with the product. I have received many compliments on this insert. I included this piece with our Save the Date magnets which were also beautiful!!! This insert fit in the same envelope as the "Save the Date" 3x5" magnet and only cost standard postage to mail."
"I am using these as reception table camera cards and put them in a frame to ask guests to use our disposable cameras to take pictures. They ended up perfect, and the staff made all of the formatting changes I requested on the first proof. Mahalo!!"

Manchin: Gun bill to be reintroduced - 0 Comments
WASHINGTON — One of the architects of failed gun control legislation says he's bringing it back.
Sen. Joe Manchin on Sunday said he would re-introduce a measure that would require criminal and mental health background checks for gun buyers at shows and online. The West Virginia Democrat says that if lawmakers read the bill, they will support it.
Manchin sponsored a previous version of the measure with Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. It failed.
Manchin says there was confusion over what was in the bill.

At the GAME British Academy Video Games Awards in 2012, Markus 'Notch' Persson, the creator of Minecraft, was presented with the Special Award by games legend Ian Livingstone. In the video above, he accepts his award on stage, speaks backstage with Johnny Minkley and more. Check it out!
Additionally, Notch sat down with BAFTA on Twitter for an in-depth Q&A session, where he addressed the community candidly on a variety of topics, ranging from his feelings on the direction of Minecraft, his favorite developers outside of Mojang, and nearly everything in-between. You can see a full compendium of the Q&A session right here, for all the details. Definitely worth a read!
Still want more? We've got it! Notch also had a nice, solid interview with BAFTA directly, which you can read in its entirety here. They discuss his inspirations, work history, his advice to aspiring game makers, and much more.
On March 5th, BAFTA announced that Markus "Notch" Persson would be the recipient of the prestigious BAFTA special award:
Notch said:
Proving that there is a place on BAFTA's list for games that defy the hype and fanfare of the big-name publishers and blockbuster sequels, Minecraft held its own against such triple-A titles as Call of Duty: MW3, Battlefield 3, Portal 2 and Skyrim, just to name a few. BAFTA called Minecraft a "...bizarrely repetitive and perilously addictive [game]...offering very unique gameplay, challenging players in ways that no other game does, or possibly would ever consider trying!"
All that said, Notch still has more to come; Notch has an upcoming Team Fortress 2 tournament - where he will be participating with other developers and players - for the Child's Play charity! Child's Play is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of children in hospitals around the world with games and toys, through the kindness and generosity of the video industry and the power of play. Every year, they hold a charity drive which sees ever-increasing amounts of donations, reflecting a spirit and unity in the gaming industry as a whole, from publishers and developers to players everywhere.
Notch's match will be a "Mix Up Match", where online celebrities and regular players are teamed up against each other (9 versus 9). Want to have a shot at playing with Notch? There's still time - head over here and donate, and you just might end up taking Notch on directly - the more you donate, the greater your chances of playing with the indie legend. The match is tentatively set for Spring, although no specific date is available just yet.

Ronaldo dazzles; Gunners strike
Real Madrid and Arsenal eased to wins over Ajax and Olympiacos respectively in the second round of the Champions League thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo and Gervinho.
Cristiano Ronaldo notched his second hat-trick of the week as Real Madrid edged a step closer to the Champions League knockout stages with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Ajax in Amsterdam.
Ronaldo, who also struck three in Sunday's 5-1 La Liga over Deportivo La Coruna, netted in the 42nd, 79th and 81st minutes with Karim Benzema getting Madrid's other goal (48).
Ajax's goal came from Niklas Moisander in the 56th minute but they could not get any closer as Madrid warmed up for this weekend's mouthwatering league trip to Barcelona in style.
Jose Mourinho's side now boast two wins from two in Group D and have opened up a two-point lead after nearest challengers Borussia Dortmund were unlucky to come away from their trip to Manchester City with only a draw.
Dortmund created a host of chances and took a 62nd-minute lead through Marco Reus but English champions City won a last-minute spot-kick when Neven Subotic was harshly penalised for handball and Mario Balotelli coolly rolled in his shot to salvage a 1-1 draw.
Malaga continue to impress in their maiden Champions League campaign as they downed Anderlecht 3-0 away.
Eliseu Pereira netted two superb finishes - the first an unstoppable 25-yard thunderbolt and the second a delicate chip - either side of a Joaquin Sanchez penalty as Manuel Pellegrini's men matched the 3-0 victory they recorded at home to Zenit St Petersburg in their Group C opener.
The Spanish side are now two points clear of second-placed AC Milan who had earlier edged out Zenit 3-2 in an exciting encounter at the Petrovski Stadium.
In a battle between two sides searching for their first win, Milan stormed into a 2-0 lead after 16 minutes through Urby Emanuelson's deflected effort and a fine individual goal from Stephan El Shaarawi.
Zenit drew level with goals either side of half-time through Hulk and Roman Shirokov, but it was Milan who took the points thanks to a 76th-minute own goal from Tomas Hubocan as well as some brilliant goalkeeping from Christian Abbiati.
In Group B, Arsenal also boast a 100 per cent record after easing past Olympiacos 3-1.
Gervinho's 42nd-minute opener was cancelled out before the break by Kostas Mitroglou's glancing header, but Lukas Podolski drilled in a low shot to put the Gunners back in front in the 56th minute before Aaron Ramsey wrapped up the win late on with a neat chip.
Schalke are in second spot on four points after being held 2-2 at home by 10-man Montpellier.
Karim Ait-Fana gave the French champions a 13th-minute lead but Schalke drew level through the impressive Julian Draxler soon after before Klaas Jan Huntelaar put the home side ahead in the 53rd minute from the penalty spot.
Montpellier also saw Garry Bocaly sent off in that incident but Schalke could not make the most of their numerical advantage or a host of good opportunities and they paid the price when Souleymane Camara scored a 90th-minute equaliser.
In Group A, Porto moved three points clear after James Rodriguez's 83rd-minute goal earned them a 1-0 home win over big-spending Paris St Germain.
Dynamo Kiev, who lost 4-1 to PSG in their first outing, joined the French outfit on three points after beating Dinamo Zagreb 2-0, the goals coming in the first half from Oleg Gusev and a Josip Pivaric own goal.
