I thought I would post an update to my first post, UnconVENTional Aid: Helping Nick Dupree, Social Networking Style.
Many people asked about simply evacuating Nick. Evacuating a person with a disability, isn't as easy as evacuating an able-bodied person not attached to ventilators, and other medical equipment. In fact, the Red Cross told me, "we can help him, just get him to an evacuation center."
Here is an explanation from Nick, as for why this is not possible for HIS unique situation:
All federal, state and local policies insist I go to the hospital. But that is the most dangerous place for me. Hospitals' normal assessment and care processes have been stricken with liability sclerosis: liability first, human life second. Hospital policy is they only allow hospital ventilators. Because of liability fears surrounding hospital staff operating ventilators they've never been trained on and the hospital does not own, the policy is non-negotiable: I'd be taken off my vent, put on a hospital vent. This almost destroyed my stoma in '08. I'd be toast if that happened again. So I don't see evacuation to a hospital as an option. I wish there was a hospital I could trust to "first, do no harm," but right now I just trust them to a) put me on a ventilator that will maim or kill me b) not have enough staff to feed or medicate me, because they have genuine emergencies on their hands. I am from Mobile, Alabama and was there until 2008; I tried to go to USA Children's hospital when Hurricanes Georges and Opal hit the Gulf Coast and no beds or medicine were forthcoming (plus, the hospital lost *their electricity* stranding us in our wheelchairs staring at dead elevator doors for hours during Opal) which forced us to un-evacuate, go back home . Rode out Danny, Ivan, Katrina and more on batteries. I've been there, and some EMS guy I've never met yelling I need to be with TRAINED PROFESSIONALS (as my RN is standing next to me—lol) isn't impressing me. Education on vent-dependent people is badly needed.
We are condemned as "against medical advice" for not evacuating to hospitals that were evacuated or in danger of evacuating. The story of NYU's generator failing and all the NICU babies have to be taken off failed ventilators and bagged is horrifying, as are the stories of Bellevue, NYU Downtown evacuating. In Soviet 'merica, hospital evacuate you. But all these horrible stories are unlikely to spark the change needed. If medical advice is to put yourself in those horror situations, I don't mind being against it.
In addition to these the risks Nick explained with going to a hospital, there were other factors to consider as well. Like the fact that he's on the 12th floor of a building with no power, and therefore no elevator. Of course buildings have stairs. That's how we were bringing batteries and supplies to him. BUT the staircase was pitch black, and extremely narrow and very steep. It was hard enough for volunteers to safely carry batteries and water up 12 flights of steps. after a trip or two they were exhausted. Trying to evacuate Nick would have been an extremely difficult task and may not have been physically possible due to the staircase itself. Had we tried that option – even with EMS, Fire Dept, etc – Nick may have been seriously hurt.
It was much easier in this case (as complex as it was to coordinate) to bring batteries to provide power to Nick, then it was to bring Nick to the power.
In addition to those risks, many of the "evacuation centers" in the area were not wheelchair accessible, if we got him to one of those as the Red Cross had suggested. Portlight Strategies (a non-profit dedicated to helping people with disabilities in natural disasters) posted a few photos taken of some evacuation centers in NY on their facebook page. Here are some of the types of barriers Alejandra & Nick could have encountered by trying to evacuate:
So, after Sandi Yu and I went down to Lower Manhattan the first time, to get things set up on car batteries & an inverter and found it to be a successful plan I talked to his respiratory company (who we were finally able to get the name of) and the therapists first questions were, "You've got the ventilator running on a longer battery, but what about the oxygen concentrator, the suction machine, and the cough assist?
Since I'm in a wheelchair, I couldn't get up 12 flights of stairs to go SEE what needed power the night before. I knew the vent was the #1 issue for power, but these other things are also important if we wanted to keep Nick healthy/medically stable. So I put the word out that we needed additional batteries & more inverters to plug stuff into without overloading the initial set up. We wanted deep cycle marine batteries this time (Walmart had none at 2 am when we initially went) since they would work a bit better then car batteries.
I put the word out, others started spreading it using social networking, and a friend of a friend, Leanna Graham, was able to find an inverter at Radio Shack, and bike it across NY to Lower Manhattan to get it to Nick. YEAH! Anna Jacobs was able to find us several marine batteries, and a couple 6 AMP & 10 AMP chargers at Sears and AutoZone in Brooklyn, but getting them across the city into lower Manhattan was a challenge batteries are heavy, not the type of things you can just throw on a bike, plus the gas shortage in NYC was a big problem and HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) was being enforced. But we were able to use donated funds to get cab fare to bring additional batteries in Thursday morning.
Thursday, November 1, Alejandra (Nick's partner) was interviewed on NPR, Talk of the Nation sharing her experiences first-hand. You can listen to it here: Sandy Especially Tough On Vulnerable Populations
Nick Dupree & Alejandra Ospina continued to need supplies brought in and USPS, FedEx and UPS didn't seem to be an option, so Thursday afternoon, I started looking for more people in Boston willing to do another middle-of-the-night roadtrip. That's when Gisela Voss stepped up. We barely knew each other – she was the designer for B. toys (sold at Target), and I "met" her on B. toys facebook page leaving "happy customer feedback" (which she was an admin of), then met briefly her in person last summer on Rabbit! band's tour. We've had occasional contact with each other for the past year, became "Facebook friends" on Sunday afternoon, intended to get together next week, but found ourselves planning an emergency road trip together on Thursday.
Of course with NYCs HOV-restriction in place, we needed 3 people, so if we couldn't find a human passenger, Gisela, being the creative person that she is, volunteered to bring her scarecrow decor to look like additional passengers in the back seat – hahaha! – but really, it was more ideal to have 2 drivers to rotate (my license is medically suspended), and 2 people to carry up supplies since I'm in a wheelchair and couldn't assist with that. So, she recruited her sister, Karin Bolt. I rolled around my neighborhood, on the phone with Carrie Lucas (in Colorado) collecting supplies as she told me what Alejandra was reporting was needed (paper towels, trashbags, batteries, non-latex gloves, etc). Got all the supplies together, hopped in the car with Gisela, picked up (and officially met) her sister, and off we went.
I'll let Gisela Voss' tell it from her point of view:
"When in doubt, DO something."
"When in doubt, say YES."
With hurricane Sandy approaching we buttoned down the hatches on our Hull house and bought extra batteries for our flashlights. I never imagined where this week would take me. I got phone calls from as far away as Peru and Germany from friends and family checking on us. All OK within "my" circles. But what if I opened my vantage point a bit wider? What of the concentric circles a little further from my center? My sister's in-laws had a tree fall thru their roof in Atlanta. All OK. My friend Lisa was cold in her house with no power. Offered our extra rooms. All OK. My friend Suwin posted photos of the destroyed Misquamicut beachfront in Westerly, RI yet those she loves OK. A bit wider…I saw photos of New York and New Jersey and was awed by the devastation. Feeling small, not knowing how to help I went on with my day. Until….until Crystal, someone I met briefly only once, posted a plea for help on her Facebook page. A man she knew online but had never met in person was running out of batteries for his life-sustaining ventilator—in lower Manhattan, up 12 flights of stairs, 5 hours away by car.
Let's go.
YES and DO are small words. But they achieve great things. And if in doubt, ever notice that "what the hell" is always the right decision? I could sense Luke with me, smiling that "do bigger" smile of his. He would not shy back from the long night, or the road blocks in NY, or the unknown. A friend needs help? What are you waiting for?
Who else would ride in this car with me to fulfill the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle, an acronym I never knew before) requirement? Of course my sister Karin said SI.
With an extra 10 gallons of gas in the trunk, 4 marine batteries, medical supplies, some snacks for our ride, and Crystal's wheelchair we drove. One last gas fuel-up in CT and we approached Manhattan. Past the toll signs HOV mandates. Driving along everything seemed kind of quiet, almost normal. Until we entered the twilight zone. Darkness in Manhattan. Unreal—an island of darkness in a sea of power. The city that never sleeps—asleep. On Broadway heading to TriBeCa the only lights were my headlights. Passing block after block after block of camouflage army vehicles lining both sides of the street, only an occasional flash of bright was visible—the diagonal reflector stripes on the armed National Guards patrolling the streets. I was ever-thankful for my car's GPS because it was hard to even read the street signs. My atrocious sense of direction had no idea we were in Union Square until I saw my favorite NY store, ABC Carpet & Home. Still more blocks and blocks of darkness in Gotham. Did Batman ever drive his Batmobile through black New York? It was eerie and creepy, apocalyptic.
We arrived at our destination. Easy part over.
Leaving Crystal in the car (and feeling worried-bad about her being stuck there if anything at all happened), Karin and I unloaded the supplies and only then truly felt the weight of the batteries. "Oh My God, these weigh a ton!" we kind of chortled. 12 flights ahead of us. The doorman did not even offer to help, or hold the door as we juggled bags in. Then he smirked as he directed us towards the staircase. When we got there we saw why. This was a 3ft wide (ehem, THIN) very steep and completely pitch-black staircase. Thankfully Karin's boy-scout boys lent us their headlamps because we needed both hands to carry the stuff. I could only handle the battery cradled on both of my arms. Huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf we slowly walked up. Step by step by step. Counting flights. 6th floor—halfway there!—9th floor—just a little more—lean on the wall on the left—lean on the wall on the right. Adjust weight. Step step step step step step step. Eureka—12th floor!
The very first words we heard made the whole trip worthwhile: "just in time!", exclaimed Alejandra, "his battery is almost out of power." Their nurse quickly connected the new battery, and Nick said a deep and genuine throaty "thank you" seemingly through his trach. He laid on a bed attached to machines, typing out his "Nick's Crusade" writing. It was 3am and Alejandra was awake in her wheelchair waiting for us. We were huffing about WALKING up the stairs? Never before have I been so immensely aware of what my body is capable of doing. And feel so humbled at the magnitude of grace and strength others have to muster just for their day-to-day living.
With newfound vigor Karin and I bounded down the stairs ready for another trip back up.
Here's a video we took while going through there, to give you a small taste of what its like actually driving through there:
While Karin & Gisela were carrying supplies up to Nick, Alejandra & I were messaging back and forth, as she finally had stable cellphone signal, so I could explain to her what we had brought. When Gisela came back down she told me, "Nick says 'thank you.'" Several minutes later, Nick posted his first facebook status this week:
Yes Nick, your life IS worth saving.
We got back in the car, and went home, and an hour after getting home, I met with WBUR, (Boston's NPR News Station)'s producer, Nate Goldman and explained the whole situation with helping Nick. It will air on Monday as part of the Kind World series. While I was interviewing, Gisela called into NPR's On Point Surviving Sandy. (at 18:48 in the recording, she shares her experience going to help Nick).
Finally, early this morning, we got the update we had all been impatiently waiting for:
Nick's ventilator and other medical equipment can finally be plugged into the wall! No more marine & car batteries!
Nick updated at 5:30pm with this:
Power came back at 4:30am. Normalcy slowly returning. Thank you so much for the amazing support, people have been so incredible, biking across the brooklyn bridge with batteries, huffing up 12 flights of stairs with recharged ventilator batteries every 3 hours, cannibalizing cars for their batteries, even helping out directly with my hands on care. That is the story here, human kindness on a previously unimaginable scale organizing virally online divvying up Q3 battery shifts and other tasks—such an amazing example of how the web, Google docs, Facebook, can enable spontaneous order to do good works—to keep me alive and at home, not a footnote in a tragic hospital story. The best people ever coming here, keeping me going despite TriBeCa being dark and abandoned like a scene from I Am Legend or The Stand, keeping me going despite very steep and difficult stairs, keeping me going so my life and all I want to do can continue. I'm so full of gratitude, overwhelmed by this. I didn't know I was so popular. You were all so amazing, and I'm so grateful for the upcoming help y'all will do as we go into normalcy and beyond into new things. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
But of course Nick & Alejandra having power doesn't solve "everything." There are other issues Nick and Alejandra have to work through the next few weeks. They are still without water. Additionally, transportation is a significant issue with getting nursing staff to him for his routine care. New York City still has a gas shortage. Public transit is not running to lower Manhattan, and ConEd expects weeks for proper power to be restored to MTA and water has to be pumped out of the tunnels. The red arrow is Nick's subway stop. There is no service at all in this area.
To keep nursing care coming to Nick, Portlight Strategies, is continuing to fund taxi costs for Nick's nurses as he requires 24/7 skilled nursing care at home (Independent living is a far better solution, and more cost effective then the 378 days he spent institutionalized). In addition, Portlight is providing emergency assistance for others in NYC/NJ that are disabled and needing emergency assistance (Donations to Portlight also helped fund a significant portion of the battery costs to power the ventilator and medical equipment for Nick this past week). At this point, the best way you can help Nick continue getting proper medical care the next few weeks, as well as others in similar circumstances throughout New York and New Jersey at the moment is a tax-deductible donation to Portlight.

Who: Millibo Art Theatre
When: Opens Thursday, March 13, 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays, through March 30
Where: Millibo Art Theatre, 1626 S. Tejon St.
Tickets: $20, $15 Thursdays, $10-$12 student tickets with ID; 465-6321, themat.org
A production of "To Kill a Mockingbird" will be a first for the Millibo Art Theatre. It's the first time a nonoriginal piece of theater will grace the stage.
"Mockingbird" opens Thursday.
Local director Kelly Walters wanted to do a show that matched what he saw as the company's mission.
"The essence is their storytelling tradition," he says, "and they always have a unique take on the human condition and experience."
The Pulitzer Prize-winning 1960 Harper Lee novel introduced the names of Atticus, Scout, Jem and Boo Radley into the lexicon. The story takes place during the Depression in the Deep South and is narrated by a child, Scout. Her father, Atticus, a lawyer, defends a black man accused of raping a white woman.
"The universal themes are about good and evil, loss of innocence, but also about learning to perceive the world without the preconceptions of childhood," Walters says, "to see things as they are and being willing to change your viewpoint as you see them. It's really a journey toward an adult understanding. It's about fatherhood and learning and parenting. This book happened to come out at the beginning of the civil rights movement, so the themes of predjudice and how we should think about it, and how we'd want our children to think about it, is also a theme."
Walters admits the production will be different in some ways than what one might expect, but isn't revealing details.
"Harper Lee said 'I don't want any preambles to my book. The story stands on its own,'" he says. "I wanted the production to reflect that, meaning it's simple, like childhood, but not childish. It's an adult play. It's simple but surprising, and should be a discovery."

By Sid Salter
Is it appropriate to talk about Gov. Phil Bryant's successful courtship of the Yokohama Tire Company plant to West Point made public this week in the same breath with economic development icons like the state's Nissan and Toyota plants?
Mississippi taxpayers provided $363 million worth of incentives for Nissan, which came promising 5,300 jobs, $1.4 billion in capital investment and a 3.5 million sq. ft. facility.
Former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove's administration will be remembered for his role in landing the Nissan auto plant at Canton – then the largest economic development project in Mississippi's history. Perhaps Musgrove had a more difficult task simply because he was the first governor to ask Mississippi lawmakers for economic incentives that large and expansive.
Later, Mississippi taxpayers provided $330 million worth of incentives for Toyota based on the promise of 2,000 jobs and a $1.3 billion capital investment in yet another behemoth manufacturing facility.
Former Gov. Haley Barbour's administration will likewise be remember for his role in landing the Toyota auto plant at Blue Springs – an economic victory at least on par with the Nissan plant. Both Nissan and Toyota brought with them tiers of suppliers that served the auto plants and brought even more development and more jobs to communities surrounding Canton and Blue Springs.
Bryant quietly and effectively led his reconstituted Mississippi Development Authority through a long and complex courtship of Yokohama to a site in West Point. As the Pontotoc–Union–Lee Alliance worked the "mega site" local end of the deal that ultimately led to Toyota coming to Blue Springs, the Golden Triangle Development Link played a vital role in making the Yokohama deal happen.
The GTDL or "Link" economic development consortium is comprised of West Point and Clay County, Columbus and Lowndes County and Starkville and Oktibbeha County. The consortium developed a 500–acre mega site.
But Bryant's secret effort culminated in a one–day special session to gain passage of $130 million in incentives for 500 immediate new jobs and the promise of 1,500 more in planned phased expansions.
After the Nissan and Toyota deals were done, there was more than a little grousing done among the state's more conservative lawmakers and by public interest groups about the incentive "cost per job" figures generated in the Nissan and Toyota deals. "Clawbacks" became part of the state's economic development vernacular.
But most of the talk about more responsible economic development incentives were – as Mississippi struggled to compete for more and better jobs – just that.
The Yokohamo deal calls for "clawbacks" of $35,000 per job that the manufacturer fails to provide in each of the four 500–job phases.
Perhaps most notable in Bryant's first major economic development victory is the fact that the plant location came in the county with the second highest jobless rate in the state. Clay County, ravaged for years after the reduction and later closing of the Sara Lee (formerly Bryan Brothers) operation, recorded unemployment rates of 18.2 percent.
One of the complaints about the Nissan and Toyota deals was that they didn't create jobs in the areas where joblessness was more problematic. In Yokohama, Bryant courted and won a major employer in a locale that badly needed an economic anchor.
In this economy, in this plant location, Bryant establishes his new MDA team and his administration as job developers who can compete on a global scale. If Yokohama hits the 2,000 job mark, it will transform the region

It's hard to believe that there was only one kind of celebrity mom before Jennifer Garner and Victoria Beckham birthed children. That we accepted the fact that all celebrity mothers always looked like more glamourous versions of regular, non-famous mothers. That we ooed and awed over their fashion choices as if they mattered. Looking back now, it's preposterous. But at the time, it's all we had.
Then Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Garner emerged on the mommy scene. Victoria Beckham showed us that it was possible to raise four young children (Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven) while wearing 19-inch stilletos. And Jennifer Garner proved to us that it's acceptable to be photographed in the tabloids wearing mom jeans, sneakers and some kind of parka pullover. One outfits says I spent all morning playing with my babies (Violet, Seraphina and Samuel) and the other outfit says I spent all morning yelling at the wet nurse.
For every stylish choice Victoria Beckham made, Jennifer Garner made a practical one. Every time Victoria Beckham squeezed into a size zero dress, Jennifer Garner grabbed a sweatshirt and pulled her hair back into a ponytail. Neither mother is right and neither motehr is wrong. One mother just happens to be a style icon and the other mother happens to be Jennifer Garner.
They're both married to beautiful men (hello David Beckham and Ben Affleck) and they both have beautiful children, so it's fair to say they're actually both winners.
So in honor of Jennifer Garner turning 40 today and Victoria Beckham turning 38, we'd like to showcase the two mothers and their contrasting styles.

There was a lot of good action this past week, particularly below 110lbs. Highlights from that weight range include Wanchai vs. Yuthasak, Niwlukrak vs. Peteng and Raktemroi vs. Sunchai. Definitely check out Niwlukrak vs. Peteng for a great KO. Niwlukrak displayed some really nice footwork, angles, timing and counter punching. He caught Peteng right in the middle of an attempted knee.
Kengsiam vs. Aikmongkon at 119lbs was another good fight. Aikmongkon is very scrappy and makes for a good fight with anyone. He came out aggresively with some punches but as the fight went on, Kengsiam turned it around in the clinch and landed some vicious knees.
Speaking of vicious knees, the fifth round of Wanchai vs. Yuthasak saw Wanchai land a knee that took everything out of Yuthasak and held him off until the end of the fight. Aside from that, the whole fight was great and Yuthasak was doing very well earlier.

YOUNG LAWYERS DIVISION Board of Governors members Ginger Barry of Destin (background) and Michelle Samaroo of North Miami Beach (foreground) were among a dozen YLD board volunteers who participated in a Habitat for Humanity rehabilitation project in Sarasota in conjunction with the board's Longboat Key meeting in late August. YLD President R.J. Haughey plans to incorporate public service projects into most of the YLD's meetings this year as a way to give back to the communities where the board meets. "A lot of the members of the board and I think that it is a way for us to positively impact the places we visit," Haughey said. The young lawyer representatives spent a Saturday morning working on the Baldwin residence in Newtown Estates. Recently widowed, Mrs. Baldwin is employed in the maintenance department at Booker Middle School and is raising a granddaughter.

The machine switch finally comes to an end! I upgraded from a P2 400 (with a harddisk slower than a CD-ROM drive) to a P3-1 GHz with 512 MiB RAM and plenty of HD space (and speed!). All software is already installed (both Windows and Linux side), so I can start coding seriously.
From everything I planned for today, the only thing I did was buying the keyboard extension cable. Ah, and started looking for Japanese's stuff. Yeah, I think I'll try to learn this...
Spent the whole day fixing my computers: the good and old VLS, the Columbia and Atlantis. VLS is a 486, now with 20 MB RAM (it was 8 MB). The machine responds much nicer now, walla! Then I used it to test some hardware I thought was broken: DVD and CD readers, some cards, a keyboard. Everything but the SBAWE 64 was burned, literally. Even the keyboard (this is the first time that I saw one broken because of a power supply failure!).
Atlantis is a PPro 200. I just installed some software into it, no major hardware modification. Hum, the sbawe 64 is a nice addition, worthwhile indeed. I'll use it for writing some text, update my site, so on (this computer stays at my bedroom, much easier to use, whatever the date).
Finally, Columbia. It´s a whole new computer, now with everything just fine (software and hardware speaking). A really fast machine. Unfortunately, many people use it at home so I can´t do everything on it.
As you can see, all my computers have launch vehicle's based names. Columbia, actually, got destroyed one month after the real one and its crew died (one minute of silence). I'm glad to see my computer Columbia on again and I do hope the space shuttle's program restart, after everything is settled down, and the space, and the space restarts being explored by man at the pace it deserves.
After several days, I finish grabbing files and setting up the computer. Even the remote control is working now! There're some bits to setup yet (the ups communication, modem and hardware sensors) but nothing I can't live without. Till August, I think I'll have settle this down and created the RPM packages for the software I've installed. Great!

The only one I'm aware of that has a significant inventory is Phoenix Comics in Herndon (however, I haven't been there in at least a year). There aren't that many comic shops left in the area, and those that remain tend to focus on comic-related merchandise.Originally posted by TheBigSloppy
Also. . .
I have been meaning to ask you guys if you know of any comics book/hobby shop that sells Star Wars figs? When I lived in Denver they were a dime a dozen. . .but I haven't found any here. What's the deal with this?

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Attorneys for a Tupelo family counselor say a young woman with a history of mental instability is wrong when she claims he fondled her during a recent office visit.
Circuit Judge Jim S. Pounds granted prosecutors' requests to issue an arrest warrant for Malachy McCool, the 66-year-old counselor, after a brief probable cause hearing in the Lee County Justice Center on Friday morning.
"I don't believe for a minute that this man has touched anyone for improper purposes," said McCool's attorney, T.K. Moffett.
McCool was arrested and ordered to be held at the Lee County Jail until he posted $25,000 bond.
Pounds denied a state motion to ban McCool's contact with all minors, but said the counselor is prohibited from contact with the alleged victim, who reportedly was referred to him from Parkwood Behavioral Health in DeSoto County.
Tremaine Frison, a Tupelo Police detective, was the hearing's only witness.
Under questions from County Prosecutor James Moore, Fryson said the 17-year-old's mother complained to police after her daughter claimed McCool had her sit on his lap, hugged her, kissed her on the forehead and neck, and then rubbed her belly under her blouse.
McCool, who's had a Tupelo practice about 16 years, told Fryson he did not recall touching the girl inappropriately during the counseling session.
The alleged victim did not appear at the hearing.
Paul Howell with the District Attorney's Office said the case will be presented to the next grand jury.

Minn. congressman's TV spat a chance to make money
NEW YORK (AP) — Sean Hannity's cable television showdown this week with a Democratic congressman has become more than a verbal schoolyard brawl. It's a fundraising opportunity.
Democratic and Republican advocates are using Tuesday's Fox News Channel appearance by Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison to raise money. They're sending out solicitations referring to the TV confrontation and asking for donations to Ellison's campaign or to the Minnesota GOP.
Ellison opened his appearance Tuesday by calling Hannity the worst excuse for a journalist he'd ever seen.
Hannity says he has the ability to fight back and will. He has referred to Ellison as an "incoherent congressman" who had an "epic meltdown." He says he plans to continue a discussion of Ellison's career on his Fox show Friday.

Advice for colleagues on the digital front lines
If you're running a website that's come under attack, or is likely to, here is some advice on how to protect yourself.
First, a little background:
On Monday we filed an alert about the Sri Lankan government's blocking of at least five websites there. The move silenced just about all of the country's independent online voices. Two websites, Groundviews and its sister Sinhala site Vikalpa, have survived a few temporary takedowns, but for now they seem to be about the last two journalism sites posting independent analyses about Sri Lankan politics that are still up and running.

Family: Theraphosidae, Tarantulas view all from this family
Description Tarantulas are large, hairy spiders, 1 3/8" (33 mm) or more long, with a legspan up to 5 7/8" (150 mm). These spiders have 8 closely grouped eyes; the large middle pair are circular with 3 eyes on each side. Each leg has 2 claws at the tip and a tuft of hair underneath. There are microscopic bristles on the abdomen, which break off easily and can irritate the skin of small mice and other prey. Males have longer legs and are more active than females.
Warning Tarantulas have venom that is used to kill prey, but there are no tarantulas in the world that are considered dangerously poisonous to humans. When threatened, many kinds of tarantulas will use their hind legs to kick hairs from the upper surface of the abdomen. These hairs cause a burning sensation when they contact sensitive skin or mucuous membranes.
Food Tarantulas feed mainly on insects and other invertebrates, but will take lizards and small mammals on occasion.
Habitat Tarantulas are usually found in open habitats; most of the species found in the U.S. are from arid regions.
Range Throughout the Southwest, into central California and as far north as southern Illinois in the Midwest.
Discussion Tarantulas are our largest spiders. They spend most of their life underground in a silk-lined burrow. They rest at the bottom by day; after dark they wait near the surface and pounce on insects and other small animals as they wander by. Seldom do they venture more than a few inches from the burrow entrance. They develop slowly, taking between eight and eleven years to reach maturity. Adult males leave their nests during breeding season and wander overland in search of receptive females. Males die soon after mating; in fact, even unmated males seldom live more than a few months after reaching adulthood. Most of the tarantulas encountered by people are males out looking for mates. Females on the other hand may live for many years as adults and can breed several times.

It's a Thursday around noon, and I'm sitting in the Hi-Ho Lounge, a dimly-lit dive bar on St. Claude Avenue in New Orleans.
The Phoenix has sent me to Louisiana to write a story on the BP oil spill and its disastrous impact on the state's culinary culture (see "Report from the Gulf," August 6). And by this time, I've already visited a shucking house on the edge of the French Quarter and a smattering of chefs around the city.
In the morning, I'll take a pre-dawn ride out into the Gulf of Mexico with a father-son team whose family has been plucking oysters from the local waters for eight generations.
But here, amid the torn red leather seats and Velvet Underground tracks, I'm waiting on Dee Slut.
Slut — given name David Turgeon — walks into the bar just a few minutes after the appointed time in a pair of tall white boots. He's wearing a straw cowboy hat with an American flag lapel pin affixed to the brim. Dirty blonde locks tumble down to his shoulders. He's got a crab po'-boy sandwich and he quickly orders the first of what will be several beers.
Turgeon's story is not entirely different from those of the other folks I've met.
Since Hurricane Katrina, he's been selling fish, crabs, and oysters for a small distributor in his hometown of Lafitte, just south of New Orleans. And the fishery closures have sharply limited his income. "Right now, our town, it's when you make your money — and they ain't making money," he says.
But I know, early on, that Dee Slut won't appear in my feature on the spill; that he'll need to show up in some sort of postscript. He's a different sort of fellow, after all, a category unto himself: aging-punk-rocker-cum-fish-slinger.
Turgeon, now 47, was a founding member and lead singer for the Sluts, widely considered New Orleans' first notable hardcore outfit. Assembled in 1981, the group lasted two years and produced a single record, 12" of Sluts.
The 14 songs, split between Side "Fuck" and Side "You," included "Nuke the Whales," "Hey, Hey, We're the Sluts" and, of course, "Fuck You," which featured Dee belting out precisely two words.
During live shows Turgeon spent most of his time in the audience, at the end of a 100-foot microphone cord, yelling indecipherable lyrics. From time to time, he wandered out into the street with mic in hand, stopping traffic with a stray expletive or paying a noisy visit to a bar across the street. If he was on stage, his head could generally be found inside the bass drum.
The group played with all the big acts: the Dicks, the Stains, the Butthole Surfers, the Minutemen. One afternoon, home after a tour, Dee stopped by his mother's house to find that one of the guys from Black Flag — either Greg Ginn or Chuck Dukowski, he can't remember which — had left a message.
Dee called back and found the band, in the midst of recording Damaged, wanted to try him out as lead singer. He got on a plane and flew to New York, where he played a live show with the group and took a stab at recording some tracks. But it didn't work out. "It sounded like Black Sluts," Dee says.

"Open Containing Folder" for Evince
Remember the lack of bidirectional navigation in our document windows? The problem is that you can go down in the folder hierarchy with the file system until you open a file, but you cannot go up from the document app to visit the file system again.
I just made a little patch for Evince to add an "Open Containing Folder" command, similar to the one that Firefox has in its Downloads window.
This patch is is at bgo#627443.
Unfortunately, Nautilus currently seems to have a bug. If you launch "nautilus file:///blah/blah/foo.pdf", Nautilus complains that "foo.pdf is not a folder". I'm sure this worked at some point before — you could make Nautilus open a window showing a folder *with* a certain file already selected.
In the meantime, my patch for Evince just causes Nautilus to open a folder window. It would be nice if it could also select the file in that window.

Flu Season Has Begun
Posted By News On @ 6:26 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Flu season has officially started. The first cases of influenza have started to pop up in Iowa. According to Lynn Fisher of Washington County Public Health the first cases of influenza start popping up around the end of November. She says the flu vaccine takes about two weeks to adjust your immune system, so it's best to get the shot soon.
She still recommends getting it at some point even if you can't do it soon because flu season doesn't reach its peak until February. This year's vaccine is the same as last year's, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get vaccinated again if you were last year.
Fisher recommends everyone older than six months be vaccinated this year. Washington County Public Health has plenty of shots to give and they have clinics in Washington and Kalona all through the flu season.

Add something cheesy to your family's Italian dinner with these broiled beef steaks - ready in 30 minutes!
For a meatless of this recipe, fresh portabella mushrooms make a great stand-in for the beef. Remove stems of mushrooms. Place mushrooms, stem sides up, in broiler pan. Brush with oil; sprinkle with garlic salt. Broil with tops about 6 inches from heat 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until tender. Continue as directed.
Here's a quick way to seed tomatoes: Cut tomato in half horizontally. Gently squeeze the halves to push out seeds. Use a spoon, if needed, to scoop out the remaining seeds.

How do I wire up a relay to control a DPDT button, I'm trying to bypass the actual button press and control it via software.Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. It makes sense, and thats what I had thought. Is there a way I can bypass the button with out a relay?, maybe just two output pins that are both high?
I just reread our dialogue, I think there might be some confusion. The relay isn't DPDT; just the button is. Does this change anything?

|Ever wonder why McDonald's color scheme is yellow and red? "We are naturally drawn to red, yellow and orange in our dining area or restaurants because psychologically it stimulates us to want to eat -- and eat a lot. Studies show if you put your food on blue plates it can cause you to eat less," says Tamal Dodge, a certified yoga instructor in Santa Monica, Calif. and star of the "Element: Hatha and Flow Yoga for Beginners" DVD.

|According to a 2008 study published in the International Journal of Obesity, swapping out your morning bagel for eggs could help you lose 65 percent more weight. Subjects who ate eggs for breakfast lost more weight, body fat and inches from their waist than those who ate the same amount of calories in the form of a bagel. Researchers believe the higher protein content of the eggs helps you stay fuller, longer and leads to eating less throughout the day.

|You've heard that eating from smaller plates can help you eat less, but did you know that using a larger fork can do the same? A recent study by researchers at the University of Utah found that participants eating with a larger fork - one that held 20 percent more food -- at an Italian restaurant ate about 10 percent less than those who used a regular fork. Researchers believe a smaller fork makes us feel we aren't making as much of a dent on our plate so we'll take more forkfuls to satisfy our hunger. (Note: This only worked with large portions. When diners were served smaller meals, fork size didn't affect their consumption). So next time you're order a super-sized entree, ask for a bigger fork to help you eat less. And while you're at it, stop when you're satisfied -- not stuffed.

|You know you probably shouldn't, but sometimes you eat in front of the TV or computer. But do you know how much it affects your waistline? Studies show that we eat around 40 percent more when watching TV and we're more likely to eat junk food while distracted. To lose weight without major sacrifice, power down your TV, computer or smart phone during dinner and concentrate only on your meal.

So to eat less, load up your plate -- but only once. To reduce your intake even more, use a smaller plate. Wansink found that subjects who served themselves using smaller dishes ate up to 60 percent less.

|Weight loss doesn't always mean cutting down on things. In fact, adding in more fruits and vegetables helps you stay fuller, longer, with less calories and more nutrition. To lose weight without feeling hungry, eat at least one serving of fruit or vegetables with every snack and two with meals, recommends Rachel Begun, a registered dietitian and food industry consultant in Rye Brook, N.Y.

|Tossing everything in your pantry out all at once is a good way to waste money and cause a Ben and Jerry's meltdown, but gradually replacing processed foods with fresh alternatives helps curb cravings and hunger, says Begun. "Highly processed foods are low in nutrients, causing the body to seek more food to find the nutrients it needs, which leads to a vicious cycle of overeating." You don't have to empty the pantry all at once, but slowly start making swaps like fresh fruit and yogurt for protein bars (which can contain as much sugar as a candy bar) or hummus and fresh veggies instead of nutritionally devoid pretzels.

|Too much stress could be thwarting your weight loss efforts.

To decrease cortisol and decrease fat, try this quick time out every day (especially when stressed), recommends Moriarty.

|Taking cues from your body on what to eat on a daily basis can help you eat less, says Jasia Steinmetz, a registered dietitian and author of Eat Local: Simple Steps to Enjoy Real, Healthy and Affordable Food. Next time you're hungry, pay attention to what foods seem appealing to you -- and why. Craving sweets, for example, may be a cue that you need energy. If you really want a Snickers, for instance, enjoy a bite-size. Don't limit yourself -- if nothing is off limits, you may find yourself craving nutritional food as well. "The vitamins and minerals that are so essential to the various functions of your body will come from a wide variety of foods, and choosing which foods appeal to you each day will help you tune into your body. Paying attention before, during and after you eat will help you respond to the positive feeling you get from eating healthfully and lovingly."

|"Adding small amounts of fat and protein [to your meal] will trigger your satiety center, signaling you are satisfied and help slow digestion so you feel full longer," says Steinmetz.

|Many dieters get so bored with bland "diet" foods they end up eating more of them to feel fulfilled. Instead of eating for quantity, focus on the quality of your food. "You may notice that the first few tastes of the food are the most satisfying -- your taste buds are on high alert," says Steinmetz. "Buying small quantities of high quality food and concentrating on taste will help you savor small bites. Stop after the first four bites so that your taste is not 'saturated', and then try a different food."

|"Eat only in the food-appropriate areas of your home like at the kitchen or dining room table," recommends Mary Miriani, an American College of Sports Medicine certified Health and Fitness Specialist in Naperville, Ill. Sitting down at the table to eat (instead of in the car, standing at the kitchen counter or sitting at your desk) means you are more likely to focus only on eating and pay more attention to the visual cues that help us decide when we are full. According to research, being able to see all that you have eaten (evidenced by the remnants of food on the table) could help you eat up to 27 percent less at meals.

|Walking is great exercise for weight loss, but it seems to be even more effective when done just after eating. A 2011 Japanese study found that walking immediately after a meal was more effective for weight loss than waiting up to an hour afterwards. Subjects who went for a brisk, 30-minute walk just after lunch and dinner lost more weight than those who waited to walk. And because walking is a low impact form of exercise, it shouldn't cause any digestive distress.

|Lactose intolerant? Switching to non-dairy milk alternatives could be adding an extra 30 calories (per cup) to your daily diet. That doesn't sound like much, but if you drink a cup every day it can add up to three extra pounds a year. Instead, try lactose-free, skim milk instead. Not to mention, almond and rice milk also have far less protein than regular milk (1.5 g and 1 g per cup, respectively, compared to 8 g), says Rania Batayneh, a nutritionist and owner of Essential Nutrition for You in San Francisco, Calif. "Milk also has much more bone-healthy calcium, with 300 mg, compared to almond milk's 2 mg and rice milk's 1 mg."

|Got a sweet tooth? There's no reason to give up candy completely, even if you're trying to lose weight. Just make some adjustments. Instead of two handfuls of MnM's, have a Tootsie Pop. You'll still get to enjoy a chocolate treat, but it will last much longer and save you about 140 calories (almost 14 pounds a year). "Or, instead of indulging your sweet tooth every day, have a piece of dark chocolate on those days when a chocolate craving really strikes -- the less sugar you eat, the less sugar you crave. And dark chocolate contains heart-healthy flavanoids," says Batayneh.

Monday, 14 Feb 2011 11:42 AM
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio lambasted President Barack Obama's budget proposal today, issuing the following statement:
Sadly, the president has missed a golden opportunity to have an adult conversation with the American people about the seriousness and urgency of our debt crisis. The presidents budget falls far short of tackling our national debt in a serious way. Although we face a $1.6 trillion deficit and a staggering national debt that exceeds $14 trillion, the presidents proposal would add $7.2 trillion of new debt over the next ten years. The fact that the presidents 10-year proposed savings is less than this years budget deficit alone is proof that this is a budget that cannot be taken seriously.
While the president insists he will take the commendable step of vetoing earmarks, his silence on entitlement reform, the absence of meaningful spending cuts and his reliance on anti-competitive tax increases will cause more economic uncertainty, stifle job creation and keep America on a path towards a diminished future.
Todays excruciating problems are the legacy of decades of profligate spending by both parties. We have a job-crushing debt because Washington has repeatedly postponed the tough decisions for someone else to deal with down the road. The American people have every reason to be disappointed by the presidents budget and by Washington politicians who either dont understand the seriousness of our fiscal crisis, or who are simply not willing to confront this challenge head-on.
And then to hear the toady press spew concern over "cuts" at the social level, is just mind-boggling. I could care less where those cuts come from. There isn't ANY segment of that pie-chart that can't be cut 100 billion...waste alone could yield that much reduction.
YO!!! My fellow conservatives in congress...JUST SWING THE AX, AND LOP OFF AT LEAST THAT MUCH, REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT COMES FROM.
Of course it will take some onions to step to the plate and be accountable, but that's what you were sent there to do, so "GIT-R-DONE"!

Never thought about using PVC tubing what size and schedule?
I made mine out Of Aluminium tubing and had a friend weld them up. Then I took the time to design a firing mechanism that would fire a shot. If I was going to do this again I'd just call Zinger winger and buy his firing mechanism. I tried model aircraft electronics with earlier wingers and different firing systems like having a weight slide down a rod then hit a trigger and fire a shot and the bird at same time but too unreliable.
Now I use Tri-tronics but have thought about changing to Dogtra just have to change a few things from solenoids to servo motors.
found they were costing me about $300 each to build, it's amazing how all the little parts can add up and trying to find good pulleys and then when trying to buy latex tubing only buying a 100 ft a time, all these suppliers want to sell 1000 ft minimum.
But in the end it is rewarding to know that you made them yourself.

Robert Harrold
Robert Harrold was born in Wolverhampton and studied dancing in Birmingham where he made his debut in 1940 with the Anglo-Polish Ballet at the Prince of Wales Theatre, dancing in 'Cracow Wedding'. Robert then studied with Marie Rambert, joining the company in 1941 and danced all the leads in the Tudor, Ashton and Howard ballets. At this time, the company was playing at munitions factories and hostel camps and when no digs were available, the dancers were offered hospitality by local residents.
Robert's accommodation was once with the Dean of Lincoln and he astonished the worthy gentleman by borrowing his sewing machine and producing a dressing gown from old blankets. In 1942, he danced in the 'Tales of Hoffman' with ballets by Frank Staff, re-joining Ballet Rambert in 1943 when it was re-formed, giving a memorable performance of 'A Personage with Long Ears' in the Carnaval Des Animaux, before being called up in 1944.
With 'Stars in Battle Dress' he toured India, Ceylon, Italy and Austria and to Germany with the Central Pool of Artists. After the war he danced in films and television, studied Spanish Dancing, Scottish, the Cecchetti Method, Ballroom, Latin, Modern, Imperial Ballet, and later went on to learn National Dance in Helen Wingrave's studio at Warwick Square.
Miss Wingrave recalled that he took all his examinations in record time and was soon on the ISTD Committee. From 1952 to 1955, Robert danced four seasons at Glyndebourne and in 1961, became their choreographer for several years.
He also produced and choreographed 'El Amor Brujo' for the Turkish State Ballet in Ankara. In the early 60's, Robert and Helen Wingrave formed the 'Mondial Dance Group', giving lecture recitals all over the country and at Dortmund Festival in Germany under the auspices of the British Council, who also, in 1978, directed their visit to Bulgaria.
Always in demand, Robert has examined, adjudicated, lectured, broadcast, taught at Summer and Winter Schools and spread the work of the National Faculty, both in the UK and abroad, with untiring energy, humour and an unfailing eye for talent and correct style.
Add to this the many articles on a wide range of topics, a book titled 'Ballet' and another called 'Folk Costumes of the World', plus some delightful photography for different journals over the years, and you have an outline of this incredible, multi-talented and much loved man who was given the Imperial Award in 1985, became the Chairman of the National Faculty in 1986 and received the Carl Alan Award in 1994.

Results 1 to 2 of 2
Thread: 65g tang setup/stock
65g tang setup/stock
hey, so for christmas ive been looking to get myself a standard 65g (36x18x24). The filters that i would use are a penguin 350, and a rena xp3. My well waters natural pH is 8.5, so that shouldnt be a problem. Now, my problem is what to put in it. my favs. of this list are the calvus, the brichardi, and the leleupi.
Neolamprologus caudopunctatus
Neolamprologus sexfasciatus
Altolamprologus compressicep
Neolamprologus leleupi
Lamprologus tretacephaleu
Altolamprologus calvus
Neolamprologus brichardi
Julidochromis marlieri
??striped rapheal cat??
With this list of species, what would my best bet for stocking be, while trying to have the most color, and activity?
sand or gravel?
plants or no plants? (fake)
what kind of bottom dweller would work best? if i can have one at all.
what kind of rock? can i use slate, or other flat ish stones to make caves?
thanks for any info that you have, hope to hear from you soon,
meg.-to ask a question, and question its answer, or to not ask, for the answer is waiting for you to find?
65 g freshwater- 6 oto cats, 5 mollies, 5 platys, 10 guppys, 11 diamond tetras, 8 rummynose tetras, 8 glowlight tetras, and maybe a mystery snail5g betta tanks, and fry tanks
First thing I'd recommend would be a 75 rather than a 65; bigger is definitely better, and increases your options and chances of success.
If you want brichardi, figure on a species tank because they'll take over the whole thing sooner or later anyway. They'll spawn, and spawn, and as the fry grow larger they'll help guard the new, smaller fry. As their numbers grow so does their territory, until there's nowhere left for other fish to get away from them. If they aren't killed outright they'll be stressed to death.
The sexifasciatus and tret's don't play well with others either, particularly in a smaller tank. More likely to just kill other fish outright.
Calvus are mellow, rather shy fish in general, will eat any fry they can catch. Comp's are pretty much the same all around.
Leleupi are nasty, aggressive buggers, mainly popular for their color in spite of their nasty dispositions.
From that list, in a 65 gallon tank, I'd recommend a pair of caudopunctatus and calvus OR compressiceps. If you prefer the Julie's a pair of those would work in place of the the caudo's. Julie's are rock-dwellers, caudo's are sort of opportunistic between rocks or shells, will use either one for spawning. The Julie's would be more likely to raise at least some fry successfully with the calvus in the tank. If you really must, you could try for a pair of leleupi, but they're the least likely to work out in the long run.
Raphael cats really don't belong in a Tanganykian tank, a group of Synodontis petricola would be a better option. A BN pleco would be helpful for algae cleanup, none of those cichlids will touch it.
Plants are optional, sand is easier to maintain/keep clean than gravel. Whatever rocks strike your fancy should be fine, limestone certainly won't bother the pH or the fish. Calvus and comp's like large shells for cover/spawning. Ceramic Cichlid Stones are a nice option, they provide good hiding places/cover as well as blending in with the real rocks well enough.

Anyone that buys fish produced from the Far East is just asking for trouble. All fish, including shrimp. Most fish sold by HIGHLINER in Halifax comes from the Far East. Read the label before you buy. Be sure to watch the video at bottom!
A must-see 4 min. video Asian Catfish Farm
You should also know that most fish and chips fish sold are actually made from this same catfish... because the texture of meat is firm and color is white, and cost is cheap, most restaurants anywhere will use catfish for fish and chips...
so buyers should really avoid catfish or "pacific Dory"
(as this is also its more glamorous market name for same old catfish)
I bet most of the Asian markets and restaurants use these fish from that Mekong river!
This may also be the steamed white fish fillet they serve in many Chinese restaurants.
Now I know what BASA fish is, often see it on menu in Asian restaurants.
Just look for the "Made in Vietnam label".

Worked, relaxed, interwebed.
Bought a new car. Traded in my old 1990 Honda Civic, which I have had since 1995, and bought a 2013 Honda Fit.
Cool MSP.
I spent the day writing. I am on page 437 of 475 (38 pages of self-editing to go) for my 2nd novel.
Now, I skipped 2 chapters -
a) short one where my hero girl and her boyfriend run to find shelter or at least airspace to breath in from a flood.
b) elaborate one where by bad girl takes down an FBI strike team during a raid - wanted to come back to it and do the scene justice.
And I still will add about 30 or so pages between 437 and 475, taking the book to about 505 pages because there needs to be another take-down and ensuing battle. Each time I do one of those, I have to create a handful of new "expendable characters" so the combat's more of something a reader cares about, since at least semi-two-dimensional nobodies are getting killed, versus just one-dimensional non-descripts. It's how you really develop a good battle scene in a novel.
For example, if it were Star Wars, you'd give names to the Death Star Trooper (on the left) and the Death Star Trooper (to the far back, stage right). Then when Han and Chewie shoot them, you give a care, sort of. But to make them real, you go back and say they were "Petro" and "Carniss," and then insert them into the scene where Vader interrogates Leia, and say something like "Petro and Carniss accompanied Lord Vader to the Princess' cell. Carniss was especially looking forward to seeing the young Imperial Senator tortured because she betrayed the Empire and got his friend killed when trying to take her counsular ship as it resisted being boarded."
Now Carniss has a motive for hating Leia. The reader presumably likes Leia, and when Han shoots Carniss, it is more exciting, because it seems that Han has done justice for Leia.
If Han shoots "some dude with a bucket on his head," nobody will really care and the action won't seem as interesting. I teach this technique in creative writing assistance.
A good action story has GREAT action! It's easier to do this with a movie, a comic book, or even the screen play write-up. To write a novel, one must rise up to a new challenge. Not even many of the best Star Wars authors go this far. It is noteworthy that James Luceno is pretty good about it though. When Darth Maul killed mining union members in a bar fight, I distinctly remember him naming them thought they weren't really important to the story. But it made you care - not about them so much - as that Darth Maul was creating loss and taking away "characters," not just random non-descripts [Darth Maul: Sabateur].
Anyway, my work consumed my whole day! But I'm proud of a job well done!
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Congrats on the book work, Tycho!
Felt a little better after the previous day's "ugh" tummy malaise (assumed it was due to a breakfast burrito from a new restaurant; guess who's unlikely to go there again?), so I took it easy and sluggishly. Had on SW:E1-E4 from Spike TV much of the day, as I also finished grading and non-electronically-recording my last final exams and read some more of what will likely be my last book read of 2012. I did go out for dinner (McRib! ) through the drive-thru, but was homebound the rest of the time.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Sprinklers are all working properly now, happy to report. Got a haircut, dropped off recyclables (found out the guy who works at the place I go to will retire at the end of this month), went to the library to donate some books and magazines plus pick up tickets for the upcoming Big Read kickoff event, found some MORE Converse All-Stars courtesy of a %-off deal and coupon, came home and thought about grading papers (did plan next week's lessons), watched hockey with a bittersweet heart (could've avoided this "lockout" carp easily ), made pork chops/mashed potatoes/peas for din-din, won a couple online auctions. A BUSY day for sure.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I was cast in a Christopher Guest series for HBO and spent the weekend shooting guns and "holding the skirmish line" with actor Chris O'Dowd. The attached pic is me and the director to who I pitched my novel series to for assistance with a great reference for getting a major publisher and my own work turned into movies or a mini-series.

Tried going for a run but only managed a pained 2 miles (I've got bursitis in my left knee). Other then that pretty much the usual.
Volunteered at the county Academic Decathlon (as I've said before, if you want a refreshing break from the lost optimism of our future leaders of the country, go to one of these to restore your faith ), dropped off recycling (believe that's just over $150 on the school year up to now). Organized some digital pics, watched a little TV, tried (unsuccessfully) to get some grading done. Tried (successfully) to go to bed early.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Began the day with the usual chores around the house. Then took time to run to work, even though it's my day off, to welcome our newest hirer in our unit and to wish him well. He just happens to be my nephew! No, no nepotism here but maybe the beginning of a family dynasty in the world of crime scene investigation? Came home and made my gabacho tacos for dinner.
....and for BJC: watched my wife unsuccessfully grade papers as well!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!

College can be a harrowing experience for budding foodies, picky eaters, and dieters. While the dining hall's gleaming buffets of kids'-menu fare send some students into a feeding frenzy, others flinch. Even those who don't incessantly worry about what was really under that fried coating can have a hard time getting a meal during dining-hall hours because of a packed class schedule. And the cost of take-out and overpriced sandwiches can really add up.
But busy students and choosier palates, rejoice! You can do it yourself with some basic tips and skills to make the most of your microfridge. Stock up on some pantry essentials, bust out the microwavable bowls, and hit up the farmers' market for seasonal, grown-with-love produce. You'll never have to ask how long that pizza's been sitting out again.
By cooking and keeping healthy snacks around, you'll cut back on processed foods and add more whole foods, lowering your chances of falling prey to the dreaded "Freshman 15." Some convenient but tasty foods to have around are non-fat plain or Greek yogurt, crudités, hummus, whole-grain crackers, and fresh produce (add the Portland Farmers' Market, a favorite of local chefs, as your friend on Facebook).
According to Kim Norbert, a registered dietician, it's easier to resist temptation — that midnight pizza, a pile of greasy fries — if you can whip up a healthier version of what you're craving. "They provide you so many unhealthy options that it's easy to go with the flow and do what everyone else is doing," she says. "Try to keep in mind that if you eat as close to the earth as possible, you're going to get a lot less fat in your diet, fewer calories, a lot less added salt."
However, Norbert emphasizes that you can't go without all the time. She recommends homemade nachos with baked corn chips (they're healthier than whole-grain chips, which are still fried), low-fat cheese, and salsa as a cheaper and more nutritious alternative to Mexican takeout. Tweak quickie microwave meals like ramen by using only half of the flavor packet for less sodium; choose plain instant oatmeal over the flavored type and spruce it up with raisins, almonds, or a little cinnamon and sugar.
If your dining hall allows it, Norbert suggests taking fruit for snacking and a portion of broccoli or other raw salad bar veggies back to your room to use later in omelettes, scrambled eggs, salads, ramen or mac 'n' cheese. For the noodles and macaroni, add the veggies while the water is boiling.
And don't be afraid to cook and try new things, even if all you have is a tiny microfridge set-up. You'll need some cooking skills when you move out into an apartment or you'll be blowing all your rent on high-calorie, prepared foods.
"No one has really shown [today's college students] what to do, and that cooking can really be fun," Norbert says. "You don't have to follow a recipe — you can do your own thing. . . . Play with your food a little bit."
Indeed, now that you have some convenient staples and snacks on-hand, you'll want to "kick it up a notch," to quote the great Emeril. One cannot live on oatmeal, granola bars, and whole-grain crackers alone.
