"Minor surgical procedure"
About: Borders General Hospital / General Surgery (Ward 7) Borders General Hospital General Surgery (Ward 7) TD6 9BS NHS Scotland NHS Scotland
Posted by Superhuman (as ),
I was admitted for a planned biopsy which required a general anaesthetic. The procedure should take about 10 minutes.
Firstly the good things - staff were excellent, took my concerns on board, put me in a side room for the day due to my cigarette smoke allergy causing me wheezing in the main room, from surgeon to anaesthetist to nurses and orderlies, everyone was fantastic.
Now for the "needing improvement" - I had a preop assessment two weeks prior to the procedure. I received a letter for my appointment, followed by a letter saying I was on the list to get an appointment (unnecessary duplication).
I was told to come in for 7:30am. I had nothing to eat or drink from 6pm the night before as required. On arrival I was informed it would be at least 3pm before I was taken to theatre so I was expected to sit around all day. I don't think that this is acceptable for many people, especially as you rapidly become dehydrated in the stuffy hospital environment and cannot drink.
I saw the doctor, surgeon, anaesthetist, nurse, another nurse over a period of about 3 hours. As I said before, all staff are super but I think the system just is totally inefficient and not patient focussed at all. I understand that major ops must be first to allow for ITU and transfer to wards but for goodness sake why can you not allocate one or two days a week for minor procedures/day cases and have some come in first thing and others after lunch?
I have the impression everything is organised to fit with management procedure and with a total disregard to patient comfort. By 9:30 am I already had a headache from the dehydration and am sure this must be a problem for many patients.
Response from Susan Cowe, Feedback & Complaints Officer, NHS Borders 15 months ago We are preparing to make a change
Dear Superhuman, Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
When patients are added to a waiting list a letter is automatically generated confirming their addition to the waiting list and providing information about their Treatment Time Guarantee. As it can sometimes take time to confirm a patient's operation date, this letter is sent to give assurance that they have been included in our waiting lists.
When you attend for a Pre-Assessment appointment you are given fasting information which informs you that you should not eat anything in the 6 hours leading up to admission time and you should not drink anything until 2 hours before admission time.
However I appreciate that when asked to attend early in the morning your last meal may have been the previous evening and I am sorry that as you were not due in theatre until 3pm that you had a long wait without food or drink.
I have shared your experience with our Planned Care Team so that they can consider this in their work to make our admission process more focused on the needs of our patients.
If you would like to speak Katie Morris, General Manager, Planned Care and Commissioning about your comments please contact me on 0189 826719.

Sunil Gupta, Heaven from the tape-slide project London Gay Switchboard, 1980
Keywords is an exhibition based on a book of the same name by Raymond Williams. First published in 1976, Keywords— a vocabulary of the recurring terms used to discuss culture and society— has become a seminal work in the study of the English language. Williams said that he often wished some other sort of presentation could be devised, a format, which would reflect how words are embedded in particular situations and produce networked relationships. The exhibition Keywords attempts such a format.
In addition to Sunil Gupta's tape-slide project London Gay Switchboard from 1980, the exhibition presents over sixty artworks mostly from artists making art in Britain during a period defined by moments of oppositional politics, the 1970's and the 1980's.
First presented at Iniva, the expanded exhibit moves to the Tate Liverpool.

Sassy Henry grew up in Atlanta and remembers her family taking pimento cheese and pound cake along on beach vacations.
Her husband, Brian, grew up in Louisiana, and Sassy started making jalapeno pimento cheese for him when they started dating. He told her it was good but not quite as good as his mother's.
So Sassy worked on perfecting her recipe. When they moved to Pawleys Island in 2002 and bought the Sea View Inn, they began serving it as an appetizer during the Wednesday night Lowcountry Shrimp Boil.
By 2006, they had begun packaging the pimento cheese in 8-ounce containers. The first place that carried it for sale was Independent Seafood in Georgetown. Soon, they got it into Food Lion in Pawleys Island and later the Piggly Wiggly in Litchfield Beach.
Those Piggly Wiggly sales were the real launching pad for Palmetto Cheese, Sassy said, since vacationers bought it there and took it home.
Today, Palmetto Cheese comes in original, jalapeno and bacon. It's sold in about 4,500 retail outlets in 28 states, a figure that Sassy can only describe as "truly mind-blowing."
It's also available online, with a 12-ounce container costing $5.49. It's available at most grocery store chains, including Kroger, Piggly Wiggly, Harris Teeter, Publix, Food Lion and others. A 16-ounce container is sold exclusively at Costco Wholesale.
The woman shown on the lid of each container is Vertrella Brown, a cook at the Sea View Inn who specializes in Gullah and Lowcountry cuisine. She began making batches of pimento cheese by Sassy's recipe at the Sea View Inn. It's because of her cooking skills that the Henrys call Palmetto Cheese "the pimento cheese with soul."
"She was the perfect person to put on the label," Sassy said.
Another place to buy Palmetto Cheese is at Get Carried Away Southern Takeout in Pawleys Island, where you can also get such delicacies as tomato pie, cheese biscuits and chicken bog. Brian and Sassy Henry opened that business in the summer of 2011.
Pimento cheese is good for lots more than a sandwich or a burger topping. You can also use it in macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, and cheese grits. On the Palmetto Cheese website, you'll find recipes for shrimp cakes, stuffed crepes, tomato pie, even Palmetto Cheese cookies.

He appears initially as a store greeter – which, in fact, he is, though he's not hired to be. Upon entering the Laconia True Value Hardware Store last Friday, upon my arrival from Massachusetts, I saw Moe greeting customers, as he has for many years, smiling and offering assistance. I was on a mission for a part and proceeded past as I heard Moe say, "Yes, they let me hang around."
He appears initially as a store greeter – which, in fact, he is, though he's not hired to be. Upon entering the Laconia True Value Hardware Store last Friday, upon my arrival from Massachusetts, I saw Moe greeting customers, as he has for many years, smiling and offering assistance. I was on a mission for a part and proceeded past as I heard Moe say, "Yes, they let me hang around." Moe is elderly, short and portly, though his smile is his standout physical asset. At the time I presumed Moe was a long-time, likely part-time employee who got to hang out at his home away from home. I couldn't have been more wrong or more short sighted, though I wouldn't learn that until the next day.
I headed straight for the plumbing section and received help in finding my part from a very knowledgeable young woman. I left the store feeling victorious. It turned out to be a false victory. It was a victory in mind, but not at all in fact. Jump ahead to getting to my family's old summer camp on the lake, where I'd been involved my previous two visits with attempting to install our new water system.
I finished dismantling the old piping to the coupling where I'd planned to connect new copper pipe with half of the new coupling just purchased. Only it turned out to be a different, older type, and the new part didn't fit. I needed to return to the hardware store and seek a different coupling, or so I thought.
I chatted about the latest challenge with my cousins, who immediately suggested that I discuss the matter with Moe, who, I learned then, was the store owner and was knowledgeable on all things hardware. They said I ought to seek his advice. My uncle had done business with Moe for years and had always found expert advice. So the next morning I returned to the store.
I didn't see Moe up front greeting customers and began to fret a little. I roamed the aisles and finally found Moe right there in the plumbing section. I felt as if he had been waiting for me.
I explained to Moe my desire to find a different coupling. He looked at the old one I had taken in and shook his head. "We don't carry that," he said. Then he said, "Why don't you tell me what you're trying to do." Magic words.
I started at the beginning, told him how I was replacing a 79-year-old air water tank with a new (well, knew to me, cast off by a friend) bladder tank. I had measured, cut and fitted all of the pipe parts needed to assemble the new system. All of the joints fit perfectly until I got to the place where I planned to solder into the old piping. The elbow that would connect the new to the old wouldn't fit the old pipe, however, and in my mind that meant the old pipe was of a slightly different circumference than the new. So I had thought I could make the connection by using half of the coupling type, higher up, attached to new pipe and simply screw it into the older half. I showed Moe the parts I was replacing, having taken in the evidence. Moe looked at the pipe that I claimed was thicker than modern piping. Then he shook his head.
"This is standard 1/2 inch, number 11," he said. "It should fit." I should him with an elbow from his inventory that it wouldn't go over the end. "I started studying hardware in 1945, when I got out of the service," he said. "I know plumbing. This pipe might have a thicker wall, but it has always had exactly the same outside diameter." Hmm.
Then Moe studied the piece of pipe. He held it up, looked at it from different angles, and then proclaimed, "This pipe has been compromised. It's out of round." Moe said it was likely that at some point a little water likely had remained in this section after the system had been drained and that it had expanded during the winter when it froze, expanding the pipe just a tad. He showed me what he saw, and I could detect a very slight difference in shape – which I hadn't seen before. He said to just cut the pipe higher up, and everything would be fine.
That was it. No new part. Just simple, sound advice, free of charge. He smiled again. "Think you'd learn this in one of those big-box stores?" he asked. "We're all about service here. Now go finish the job."
I did. I cut the pipe higher up, and it all fit perfectly. Pipe work done, I connected the new(ish) tank, primed the system, and everything worked. All the new fittings held, and water filled the system, finally.
Needless to say, I reflected quite a bit on the experience. I had presumed I knew what I had to overcome, but that presumption was wrong – logical, maybe (to my amateur mind), but wrong. Sometimes we have to stand back and think it all through again, looking for different angles. Sometimes we have to ask for help in matters we don't really know that much about. Sometimes we need to seek the wisdom of our elders, those folks who have already put most of a lifetime into their particular areas of expertise – a vast and ready resource.
I learned more about plumbing through this experience. I also learned that I need to acknowledge when I really don't know but rather am presuming, and in that case seek the knowledge of those who really do know.
If you ever go into the Laconia True Value Hardware Store, don't hesitate to seek advise from Moe, who can usually be found up front greeting customers. Moe knows.

Tight VNC freezes on UAC
I am unable to control a Windows 7 Machine with TightVNC. My connection freezes whenever I get a UAC dialog box on the Client Machine.
I have tried disabling UAC and tried installing TightVNC as a Service but still experiencing the same issue.
Could you please point me in the right direction.
|My System Specs

Do you have to use TightVNC?
Are you willing to try other software?
Is the computer that you are controlling on the same local network or are you doing this across the internet?
Have you ever tried UltraVNC? It might work - it might fail - it seems picky about videoDrivers or something... but it handles UAC pretty well. Sometimes you only see half of the popup dialog box. Click on Show details to see the rest of it.

I've had good success with UltraVNC, minus the UAC issues of only seeing half the box.
Ultra VNC - Windows 8 Compatible
Also, are you using the latest installation of both VNC Applications? I know when I first started using it I had an old version installed and had major issues.
If the ideas above don't work, or UsernameIssues doesn't work, give this a try.
1. Remove VNC Completely - Service and all.
2. Reboot your computer.
3. Disable UAC Completely (I find it to be a major nuisance)
4. Restart your computer again.
5. Download/Install the latest version of UltraVNC (see if this works, then you can try your VNC)
6. Reboot for a third time.
7. Try to login and go on with it.
When I work on computers, I always disable the UAC. It's a major nuisance when you download, install, encrypt or decrypt something. It's even more annoying when you're coding a program, and it freaks out every time you're compiling software that has to connect to an outside source.
That's just my take on it.
|My System Specs
|25 Sep 2013
Opinions vary :-)
I (and others) actually turn the UAC all the way up - above the default. I'm told that drive by infections without user interactions can still occur, but I've yet to see that happen.
I'm using UltraVNC 188.8.131.52. Maybe some day I'll spend the labor to update VNC on more than 100 computers - again!
You can use TeamViewer, LogMeIn Free or the like for connections via the internet. RATs like that handle the UAC pretty well. But for inside one's own network, UltraVNC or Microsoft's built in RDC/RDP (if the Windows version allowed same) is faster to connect.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Tennessee Volunteers Pick, Odds, Prediction 2/1/14
Tennessee Volunteers (13-7) at Alabama Crimson Tide (9-11)
College Basketball: Saturday, February 1, 2014 at 9:00 pm (Coleman Coliseum)
The Line: Alabama Crimson Tide +1.5 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Tennessee Volunteers face off on Saturday in Tuscaloosa in SEC college basketball.
The Alabama Crimson Tide have lost three of their last four games and are coming off of a 19-point starching at the hands of archrival Auburn. Alabama has played the second toughest schedule in the nation going 9-3 at home but not winning away from home. Trevor Releford leads the Tide averaging 18.1 points per game. Retin Obasohan is averaging 12.1 points, Levi Randolph is averaging 9.2 points, and Nick Jacobs is averaging 8.4 points. Alabama is averaging 69.8 points and they are shooting 44.8 percent while defensively they are allowing 67.4 points and their opponents are shooting 42 percent. Four of Alabama's next five games are on the road.
Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY Sports
The Tennessee Volunteers have won three of their last five games to stand at 4-3 and tied for fourth place in the SEC. Tennessee is 3-4 on the road and they have played the 12th ranked schedule in the country. Jordan McCrae leads the Vols in scoring averaging 18.9 points per game. Jarnell Stokes is averaging 13.6 points and 9.9 rebounds, Jeronne Maymon is averaging 11.3 points and 8.2 rebounds, and Josh Richardson is averaging 8.8 points. Tennessee is averaging 73.7 points and they are shooting 44.5 percent while defensively they are allowing 63.8 points and their opponents are shooting 42 percent. Tennessee has talent and experience but it hasn't translated to consistency.
Alabama is 1-4-1 against the spread in their last six home games, 0-3-1 against the spread against the SEC, and 2-9-1 against the spread against a team with a winning record. Tennessee is 4-1 against the spread in their last five games, 15-7 against the spread following a game that they covered the spread, and 4-1 against the spread against a team with a losing record. The road team has covered the point spread in five of the last seven meetings of these two.
Tennessee is the better team but which Vol team shows up? I don't love this game but forced to make a choice I will go with Tennessee.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely ladies at The Broke and the Bookish! Each week, a new topic is put into place and bloggers share their top ten accordingly. This week's topic is top ten books that will make you laugh (or at least chuckle.)
When I was trying to come up with books for this list (and I went back through 5 years of goodreads challenges!) I realized that I read a lot of dark shit. Not only that, but the humor that I like is equally dark, sarcastic, or snarky. This list will definitely not be what is considered traditional humor, but these books will amuse some of my fellow gallows humor aficionados.
1. Looking For Alaska by John Green. This was the first JG novel I ever read and still my favorite. While parts of it are very sad, and may make you cry, the wit of the characters is amazing. My copy is full of highlights because I can't resist noting a funny passage.
2. Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. To sum up, the world is supposed to end before dinner on Saturday, and someone seems to have misplaced the antichrist. My sister, who is not a reader, loves this book, which speaks volumes about how much you will laugh.
3. Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. The Bloggess wrote an entire book of essays/stories about her life. Enough said.
4. On Writing by Stephen King. I know this will raise some eyebrows. Stephen King, the horror writer? Yes, he is hilarious. (I find some of his fiction funny at times, I know, I'm weird.) But his memoir is full of sarcasm and snark and I just love it.
5. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. She is the queen of satirical writing. Let's not take classic literature so seriously all the time, shall we?
6. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. Thorne is by far the best character. He is like the Jack Sparrow of space. If he doesn't make you laugh out loud, there is something wrong.
7. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. Pretty much the entire novel is Anne Shirley getting herself into hilariously preventable situations. However, the raspberry cordial scene never fails to make me laugh.
8. The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories by Tim Burton. A book full of Burton's stories, poems, and drawings. Need I say more?
9. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. There is a story within a story. Both made me laugh, and the protagonist is so socially awkward. That really struck a chord with me...so maybe I was inadvertently laughing at myself. Also the sisters in the book are named Cath and Wren...let that sink in.
10. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I love this book. It is in my top ten fave books of life! It is funny, and romantic, and endearing...pretty much everything you want in a book. I have reread it several times and I never get tired of it.
So that is my list. What books made your top ten?

Richard the Lionheart castle
Krak des Chevaliers Travel Blog› entry 11 of 38 › view all entries
Setting of
early - again - from
Next sight
of the day will be the castle Crac des Chevaliers. Richard the Lionheart once
stayed her during his crusades in the holy land.
Driving up to the castle turned out to be a bit of a problem apparently there had been a minor landslide on the main road so I kind of feared it would be a 2-3 hour long hike up some dodgy road to get to the castle - but fortunately there were a back road leading up to the castle so only with a minor delay I got there.
There it
was the Crac des Chevaliers.
The castle was the biggest stronghold for the crusaders protecting the road from the coast inland.
There at the castle wandering around - I agree Lawrence of Arabia were truly right - it is a magnificent castle with it outer and inner wall and the space between them. The giant dark halls where the soldiers lived. The total garrison number about 4.000 when it was up to its full number. They had there own water supply and enough stocks of food for the men and hay for the horses to stay inside the castle for an unknown period in case of a siege.
From the top of the towers there is a splendid view over the surrounding landscape and you can see how difficult it would be to take the castle by storm even if you had superior numbers. That's the reason the castle were never conquered but taken by a trick by the Arabs convincing the crusader garrison that they had been ordered by their superiors to surrender the castle.
After lunch at the castle cafe it would be time to hit the road and let this fairytale castle behind to protect its surrounding against whatever enemy would approach it.

Or: Characters that curse.
First of all, don't forget that we're looking for new members! Go to this post for details.
Now, let's talk about cursing! I, personally, don't swear. There's nothing wrong with it, obviously, but I work with kids and I just don't feel it's necessary for me as a person.
That says nothing about my characters. My first book, Spyder, has 97 f-words right now. And I've been trimming them out. But my MC in that book swears like a truck driver. My second book, Berserk, has no f-words but some other curse words. My third book SMN has less swearing but there's still some.
The thing about swearing is that they DO have to matter, especially in YA. If you're cursing for the sake of cursing, it shows and that's something I have to watch myself. My MC in Spyder swears a lot and that is part of her character, but every time a character swears, as a general rule of thumb, it needs to be important. They are words that have power and if you overdo it, you risk losing that power.
It's like... you know those people who every other word needs to be a curse? You know how it just gets old? It's like that.
You also need to keep the setting in mind. There are places where it is WHOLY innappropriate to be dropping f-bombs left, right, and center. (Like, outside of an elementary school right before the bell rings for the end of the day. Ugh. Don't get me started on how rage-making that is.)
For me, too, the age of my character matters. My two main characters who swear more are seventeen and one is close to eighteen. My one who doesn't really swear (but other people in the book do) is fifteen turning sixteen during the course of the book. She's at an age where she still gets heck from her parents, which the other two don't have to worry about, and she's a lot more shy than them.
So. Do your characters curse? How do you make sure that you're not overdoing it? What are your tips about this?
Peace and cookies,

Flowers in Our Attic: The V.C. Andrews Challenge/
Taren, 23, and Steph, 15, are two book reviewers from Pulaski, Tennessee and Brazil, respectively. Taren's blog is The Chick Manifesto, and Steph is also known as Reviewer X. So what has brought these two together lately? V.C. Andrews. You know who we mean--the author of those books you used to hide under your mattress in 6th grade because you weren't quite sure what you were reading was legal? (Or was that just me?). Anyway, they've challenged their blog readers to read 11 V.C. Andrews books this year (cool points for finding vintage copies with die-cut covers, which are a personal favorite of mine). We had to find out the who, what, where, when and why of this amazing venture, so Taren and Steph graciously agreed to talk:
What inspired the V.C. Andrews "Read the Good Trash" Movement? STEPH: Taren sent me, hand to god, 22 V.C. Andrews books when I was in the US during the holidays. She'd been bugging me to read VCA for freaking ever until I finally read Flowers in the Attic sometime last year, and loved it. So anyway, there I am hauling the biggest supply of VCA known to cross continents, when I decide I want to get the blogosphere in on this, too. It wasn't until Taren posted a primer on her blog that I had the idea for a theme year on both our blogs accompanied by a challenge.
What has the response of the blogosphere been? TAREN: We've been hearing from a great mix of people--a lot of really young people who'd never even heard of V.C. Andrews before and a lot of people who are a little older, especially authors, who had read a couple of the books before. So it's been a fun mix of people reading them for the first time and people re-reading them, comparing them to their original opinion.
What's your favorite VC book, so far? STEPH: Flowers in the Attic, the only one I've completed... so far. But the Casteel series sounds like a winner.
TAREN: I can't pick just one! There's Flowers in the Attic (of course) and the prequel from that series, Garden of Shadows. The Casteel series is my favorite as a whole, with Dark Angel and Web of Dreams (the prequel) being especially high up there.
Why do you think the V.C. Andrews books continue to speak to young adults? STEPH: I think VCA books tempt that morbid curiosity in all of us. ("The family what? He's her what? They did what?") I've heard more than one person get disgusted and all, to which we say, "Pfft, guys, wait until you start becoming advocates for the incestuous couples." ;)
TAREN: I think it's a combination of things. When I was younger I loved reading about rich people and their big houses and shopping sprees and clothes. Now that I'm older I realize I also subconsciously related to a lot of the feelings and changes the heroines went through. VCA heroines go through a lot of the same basic problems that everyone does--family, relationship, and money troubles--just totally magnified and turned around (and of course scandalous!). Whatever problems you have, when you're reading a V.C. Andrews books, you can rest assured that their problems are going to be so much worse and so much more dramatic than yours.
Amen to that! Those characters are messed up. But in an amazing I-can't-look-away way. Want to join the V.C. Andrews Challenge? Go here or here to find out how.

Use the suggestions in the Outdoor Hour Challenge for clover to get to know this plant better. As a more advanced study, learn more about the pea family of plants
You are welcome to take a look at our clover study done in the past: Clover in Our Grass.

Who was your favorite character in The Last One?
Views: 44
I really loved Sam. I actually didn't like Meghan at the beginning of the book at all. I had met her in The Posse and all I could think of was that her mom would be disappointed lol but I loved her toward the end.
I also liked Sam's sister a lot.
Sam! and his niece!
Hi, I liked Ali the best even though she wasn't a major character. She seemed to have a good head on her shoulders.
Yes I like Ali. Her book was really good too.
I enjoyed Sam, he was so strong and confident. He had alot of self control. I loved the way he took care of his sister and her daughter.
I like we all loved Sam lol he was a great male lead. :D
Sam! What's not to love?!
exactly. I love respectful country men :) I married one lol

Session Presented @IndicThreads Cloud Computing Conference, Pune, India ( http://u10.indicthreads.com )
The Java EE 6 platform is an extreme makeover from the previous versions. It breaks the "one size fits all" approach with Profiles and improves on the Java EE 5 developer productivity features. It enables extensibility by embracing open source libraries and frameworks such that they are treated as first class citizens of the platform. NetBeans, Eclipse, and IntelliJ provide extensive tooling for Java EE 6.
But how can you leverage all of this on a cloud ?
GlassFish v3, the Reference Implementation of Java EE 6, can easily run on multiple cloud infrastructures. This talk will provide a brief introduction to Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3. The attendees will learn how to create a simple Java EE 6 sample application and deploy them on GlassFish v3 running locally. Then it will deploy that sample using Amazon, RightScale, Joyent, and Elastra cloud infrastructures. It will also show how servers are dynamically provisioned in some environments to meet the demand. The talk will also explain the advantages of each approach enabling you to choose the optimal strategy for your environment.
Takeaways from the session
The attendees will be able to learn how to deploy a Java EE 6 application in different cloud environments. They'll also learn about the pros/cons of these infrastructures.

Special to TheBlackHour.com
In 1965 there was "Wee Pals," a friendly comic strip advocating racial integration. Now there is "Boondocks," a comic strip morphed into an animated TV series whose primary characters are two inner-city kids who have moved to the suburbs--Huey, an angry revolutionary, and Riley, a wannabe gangsta. The evolution of this social commentary by black cartoonists--"Coloring Outside the Lines: Black Cartoonists as Social Commentator's," is on display at the Laney College Library through Oct. 23.
Created and curated by Kheven LaGrone, "Coloring," which premiered at the San Francisco Main Public Library, features black cartoonists whose comic strips appear in newspapers across the nation.
Born from a retrospective exhibit of Berkeley native Morrie Turner's "Wee Pals" comic strip at the San Francisco Library last September, "Coloring" focuses on contemporary cartoons strips with characters from today.
Photo: creators.com
"Coloring" even shows new millennium "Wee Pals" characters that are tech savvy.
A strip from June 2009, features Randy, the athletic black kid with the backward baseball cap, and Oliver, the chubby white nerd modeled on a boy Turner went to school with in Oakland during the Depression:
Randy: "I'll text-message you on my African American Berry when I get home."
Oliver: "You mean BlackBerry, dontcha Randy?"
Randy: "Not at my house!"
LaGrone's intent with the Turner exhibit was to focus on social commentary from a black perspective. While many did not view "Wee Pals" as social commentary, LaGrone said that "Lots of his [Turner] work had been seen, but most people didn't know it was his political perspective that was being made in his cartoon."
A desire to inspire his nephew, a black youth, to think of success as a path in life, positioned LaGrone for his foray into showcasing art as a motivating medium for young people. In 2006, LaGrone created the art show "Black Artists' Expressions of Father," an exhibit which premiered in San Francisco and Richmond, and was later expanded in 2007 to become "BABA: Black Artists' Expressions of Father," a featured exhibit at the International Fatherhood Conference in Atlanta.
Photo Credit: tv.spreadit.org
The show was eventually brought to New York City the following year. In 2007, along with his 19-year old nephew Jarrel Phillips, LaGrone curated the art show "ASPIRE! Black Teen Artists Interpretations of Success" which was exhibited in San Francisco and Richmond. LaGrone served as the curator of the visual arts program for 2008 AfroSolo Arts Festival in San Francisco.
After the Turner exhibit in San Francisco, other black cartoonists approached LaGrone to present their work as well. "Coloring" was born.
In addition to Turner, other cartoonists participating in the exhibit are:
Darrin Bell, creator of "Candorville."
"Candorville" is about a brilliant, but under-achieving blogger, a gangsta rapper with a heart of fool's gold and a Latina advertising executive. The two have been friends since childhood and they struggle to stay close even though life's taken them in vastly different directions.
They battle backstabbing coworkers, discrimination, crooked politicians, evil vampires, a lazy mainstream media and a hilariously amoral corporate America to get their piece of the American Pie that might've been left out of the fridge a little too long.
Cory Thomas, creator of "Watch Your Head."
"Watch Your Head" chronicles the lives of six students attending Oliver Otis University, a traditionally black college. The strip is told largely through the eyes of Thomas, who's academically brilliant and socially awkward, especially with girls.
Jerry Craft, creator of "Mama's Boyz."
"Mama's Boyz" follows the lives of Pauline Porter and her two teenage sons, Tyrell and Yusuf. The strip has been syndicated weekly since 1995 by King Features Syndicate and is sent to more than 1,500 newspapers and magazines around the world. In 2009, "Mama's Boyz" was named "Best Comic Strip" by the African American Literary Awards Show.
Keith Knight, creator of "K Chronicles," "(th)ink," and "The KnightLife."
In addition to being a regular contributor to MAD Magazine, his comic strips appear in more than 100 publications worldwide. "K Chronicles" is the winner of the Glyph Award for Best Comic Strip in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010. "The Knight Life," also was nominated in 2010. Knight is currently producing a graphic novel about being a Michael Jackson in high school.
Morrie Turner, creator of "Wee Pals."
"Wee Pals" was the first nationally syndicated racially integrated comic strip. Created in 1965, initially, few newspapers were interested in a racially-integrated cartoon. After the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., there was a surge of interest in racial integration and as a result, 100 newspapers published "Wee Pals."
Through the comic, Turner portrays a world without prejudice. It is a world where people's differences--racial, religion, gender, as well as physical and mental abilities--are cherished and not scorned. Turner served as a forum member of the White House Conference on Children in 1970.
Nate Creekmore, creator of "Maintaining."
"Maintaining" is about life's absurdities and the ways in which a bi-racial high school student named Marcus tries to make sense of them. At its peak, "Maintaining" appeared in about 40 newspapers nationwide, including the Detroit Free Press, the Portland Oregonian, The Trentonian and Honolulu Star Bulletin. In addition, the strip appeared in New Delhi, India and London.
Brumsic Brandon, Jr. author of "Luther."
"Luther" was first syndicated by Newsday Specials and then The Los Angeles Times Syndicate. Based on his social criticism, Brandon was invited to serve (and served) as a forum member of the White House Conference on Children in 1970. Brandon also wrote and illustrated several Luther segments for the children's television show "Vegetable Soup" and "Bebop Fables" (which was narrated by Dizzy Gillespie).
Barbara Brandon-Croft, creator of "Where I'm Coming From."
"Where I'm Coming From" was internationally distributed from 1991 to 2004 by Universal Press Syndicate. It appeared in more than 60 newspapers and voiced social and political commentary through the voices of "the girls"--fictional characters based on Brandon-Croft and her friends. The strip included about a dozen women, ranging from the issues-conscious Lekesia to the self-absorbed, man-obsessed Nicole.
Black cartoons often disappear from the pages of newspapers without warning. LaGrone said that the public needs to take action when this happens. "When newspapers take away our black cartoons, we must call them, write letters. We have to demand that they bring them back. Otherwise they don't know that we care," he said.
LaGrone, a Bay Area native, is a licensed civil engineer holding a BS degree in Civil Engineering from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and an MA in mass communication from Emerson College in Boston.

It's sunset in the Florida Keys. As I sit on the dock soaking in the last rays of the sun, I let my mind wander ahead to tomorrow's events. I will be going spearfishing with my son and his friends.
I have been spear fishing for almost a decade now. I started when I was 27. It was on a vacation to Mexico, and I think I tried it as more of a lark than anything else. But, as soon as I came back from my first time out, I knew it was going to be a lifelong hobby. I love the whole experience: the way the sun filters down through the water; the peaceful rocking motion of the underwater currents as you swim around a reef; even the brightly-colored fish darting in and out of their hiding places.
Spear Fishing Requires a Good Spear
I have used several types of spears when fishing. I have seen first-hand the difference it makes when you use a good fishing spear. My latest spear, the B & M Pole 3- Prong Spear, is one of the best ones I've used yet. The welded seams make the head tough enough to stand up to all the abuse you will dish out. The razor-sharp points slice through the water easily and make snagging your fish a piece of cake. The prongs on the end of the points keep your fish from getting off the spearhead once you've got it.
Fishing Makes You Appreciate the Environment
I have found myself to be more environmentally conscious now that I am out enjoying the natural beauty of the wild. If you have never snorkeled through a brightly-colored tropical reef while on a spearfishing trip, then you've never experienced what I consider to be the pinnacle of nature.
American football is probably the most popular sport in the USA, certainly when compared to other sports leagues.
There are teams at every level including:
Professional football teams playing national and international football
Collegiate and university football teams kicking for kudos as part of official athletic programs
High school football teams competing against teams from other states as well as teams from other academic institutions in the state where they live
Amateur and semi-pro adult football teams that play against each other
Youth league football teams, some of which get a little incentive money to play
Kids football teams, organized to encourage enthusiasm and affinity with the sport, either in schools or in the community
Whichever level people play, uniforms play an enormous role from identifying teams in a regulated manner (which means they wear uniforms according to rules) to building camaraderie and achieving team spirit.
It is also proven that football uniforms can help to establish identity and change perceptions.
All this should be kept in mind when coaches and others choose football uniforms for kids to play and compete in.
So if you are tasked with choosing football uniforms for kids, here is some inspiration.
How Football Uniforms Have Helped High School Teams Achieve
One of the classic stories that relate to high school and kids football uniforms involves the Pennsylvanian Belle Vernon Leopards team.
Until the mid 2000s the team was outstanding, winning championships and shining bright. Then it all stopped. Eventually a new coach found that not only were the football facilities outdated, but morale was also low. After all nothing lasts forever. The joke is that he used an old tactic that has worked for decades. Coach Matt Humbert changed the kids football uniforms, using a trend that he knew had been used so often it was likely to work – and it did. By "modernizing" the football uniforms, coach Humbert inspired confidence as well as new enthusiasm. The kids were excited and tried harder, proving that they still had a winning streak.
This approach doesn't only relate to outdated facilities. Another Pennsylvanian football team, Pine Richland, had a similar problem even though their facilities were top class. But having been winning heroes, they became what many described as downright stale.
While not totally due to new uniforms, the new kids football uniforms allocated to Pine Richland apparently played a major role in their newly found success – silver-horned green helmets and all!
The concept is, give kids their own identity that is defined by their football uniforms, and they'll embrace it. Make it fun! Make it important!
