truth, however, it would be difficult to identify any significant event,
anywhere on Earth, that isn't somehow felt by the people of this University:
students, faculty, staff, alumni and the communities we serve.
I used to make a related point when I was at Eastern Oregon University, in a relatively remote corner of the state where agriculture was king:
"Show me a student who enrolls straight from the family wheat farm, 50 miles down the road, earns a bachelor's degree, then returns to that farm with the intent of making it his or her life's work...
"... and I'll show you someone who is every bit a citizen of the world, affected by international developments and global market forces each and every day: decisions being made in Canberra, Seoul, and Riyadh."
In rural Oregon, that message resonated. Here in Green Bay, I suspect the lessons of globalization, particularly in an economic sense, have been absorbed even more readily.
About 75 percent of UW-Green Bay's students come from Northeast Wisconsin. They know their region is in transition.
Manufacturing and agriculture persist, but they are changed, and changing, in the face of intense competition. Old-line operations have been stream-
lining or pulling up stakes entirely. Product lives are shorter. Change comes faster. Many of the traditional industries that continue to thrive, and the new startups that flourish, owe their success to being Knowledge Age-oriented, and aggressive, innovative, technological leaders.
Hardly a day goes by without a news report on some Northeast Wisconsin company operating abroad, competing on an international basis, or finding new suppliers or outlets for its products. International travel — business or pleasure, coming or going— is relatively common. Our Northeast Wisconsin communities continue to grow more diverse.
To a great and gratifying extent, University students today enter as freshmen with this awareness already in place. There's a reason our international travel programs, on-campus activities and exchange programs are so popular.
We stress international education as a key component of our campuswide emphasis on "connecting learning to life." We work hard to connect students to different cultures and the global community, and to increase understanding across geographic boundaries.
close by quickly noting a few current international initiatives or upcoming
events that might be of interest:
• The region's annual Global Trade Conference is March 21 at the KI Center. Co-sponsors include U.S. Reps. Mark Green and Tom Petri, area businesses, and educational organizations including UW-Green Bay. It's an excellent opportunity for students considering careers in international trade and business.
• The second International Social Justice Symposium, co-sponsored by UW-Green Bay and St. Norbert College, is April 16. The symposium will feature experts discussing "HIV-AIDS: A Social Threat to Our World and Our Community."
• Our newest International Visiting Scholar, Mr. Julio Alégria, an agricultural engineer from Peru, arrives on March 31 for a month-long visit. A guest of another joint UW-Green Bay-SNC venture, he will speak and visit classes on both campuses.
• More than a dozen UW-Green Bay students, alumni, faculty and staff are just back from an international roundtable in Florence, Italy. The gathering was arranged by the Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation. Topics included music as well as environmental design; future and expanded roundtables are possible.
• UW-Green Bay is inviting its friends to be friends of international education. Jay Harris is coordinating the initiative; an Internet listserv and March 6 program are first steps. Jay has a special Email account at firstname.lastname@example.com, if you're interested.
The items listed here are only a sample. I encourage you to stay in touch, learn more about international opportunities, and when you get the chance, to sign on for the sort of people-to-people activities initiated so often by faculty, staff and students like Dushani.
I thank her, and all of you, for all you do for Green Bay's University of Wisconsin, here and around the world.
Connecting learning to life,
Bruce Shepard

Palo Alto Weekly is a great local newspaper and resource!
Much appreciation for all you do! Including the article on "Growing Their Own" and The Edible Landscaping Tour Sat July 20th at Common Ground.

Thank you for this glimpse of my neighbor Sharon Erickson, whose gardening passion is a boon to us all, and great metaphor for her nurturing spirit. Our basil plants came from her greenhouse this year, and her surplus zinnias were an extra bonusthey're just starting to bloom now, since the spring annuals have given up. Sharon is a gardening evangelist, not even by design, I think, just by her nature.

I thought it was illegal to have chickens, or livestock in the city of Palo Alto?
on Jul 15, 2013 at 3:57 pm
CrescentParkAnon, yes, you can have chickens & other livestock in Palo Alto:
From Web Link
Livestock and other animals
You'll need a permit to keep any type of livestock, including horses, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and turkeys in Palo Alto. Geese, roosters, guinea hens, and peacocks are not allowed, except in areas zoned for agriculture or open space. There are special provisions for keeping more than six chickens, in addition to these rules. Check with the Superintendent of Animal Services for poultry livestock permits.

Character Details
Captain Threelegs
|Species: Eyrie
Description: Captain Threelegs is an Eyrie over in Krawk Island that trains pets for the cost of dubloons, having retired from pirating. Though he tells anyone who'll listen that he lost his leg in a battle against a gigantic Krawk, the truth is that it happened in a freak Tombola mishap. He is known to have served onboard both the Esmeercadia (which sunk) and the Peophintine (which picked him up after being sunk), though he was the Captain on neither ship. In exchange for teaching in the Training School, he has been given a pardon for his crimes.
Hails From: Krawk Island
Featured In: Collectable Card, Neopedia
JN Related Guide: Swashbuckling Academy
Extra Information: Cap'n Threelegs offers free training on pet days as well as Neopets' birthday (November 15). He used to look like this!
- "I be the finest swordsman in this whole island!"

Rundown MOTEL on ocean. Needs an update. A review of Cliff House Inn on the Ocean
I received a stay here as a gift. If given the choice, I would NEVER stay here. I will try to describe as much as possible, the good and bad.
Good -
-The view is beautiful.
-The sound of the waves crashing is so wonderful.
-They have free Internet access through ethernet cable. If you don't bring your own cable, they will loan you one.
Bad - (This list will be longer)
- Access is horrible. You have to cross the 101 Freeway to get in and out. So, you must time your comings and goings according to traffic.
- The rooms are REALLY rundown. This INN is really only a really old Motel 6 on a cliff with beautiful views.
- You have to drive to get to everything. Santa Barbara is a significant drive away. PLUS, to get to Santa Barbara you must cross both North & Southbound 101 Freeway. Therefore, we opted to go South for everything. The first exit with a cup of coffee was 11 miles away.
-The rooms are really old, outdated, and just gross. We were originally in room 8, but it had a horrible stench, so we moved to room 5. It only had a shower stall. We asked about a room with a bathtub, but none were available (although it seemed like we were the only people there). The room did not have any luxuries. It did not have a COFFEEMAKER, a blow dryer, or a tub. Just very basic and rundown. The furniture is very old and the decor is just plain depressing.
- The staff had a lot to be desired.
All in all, I hated this place. It is overpriced, rundown, and in desperate need of a renovation. I would never reccomend it to anyone.

The introduction of party politics in Sierra Leone ushered in the active participation of women in national affairs. Although their number was small, the few that ventured into politics became very prominent. One such notable woman has been Ex-Paramount Chief Madam Ella Koblo Gulama.
Madam Ella, as she is fondly called, succeeded her late illustrious father, Julius Gulama, as Paramount Chief of Kaiyamba Chiefdom, Moyamba District, in 1953. Thereafter, she became actively involved in national politics with the support and encouragement of Sir Milton Margai and Sir Albert Margai. She became a member of the Moyamba District Council and was elected to the House of Representatives in 1957 — the first ever woman member of that august body. She was re-elected to parliament in May, 1962 and appointed the first woman cabinet minister.
She became a close ally of both Sir Milton and Sir Albert. But it was essentially during the brief period of Sir Albert's premiership that she gained a reputation as one of the most powerful members of the government.
This pioneer of women's liberation in modern Sierra Leone politics went into temporary political limbo after Sir Albert's fall from power, before bouncing back as an APC stalwart and leader of the Moyamba District APC Women's Organisation in the early 1970s.
Born in 1921 at Moyamba, Ella was educated at the Harford School for Girls, and the Women Teacher's College, then at Wilberforce. Although she ruled a predominantly Mende chiefdom, Ella Koblo married a powerful Temne paramount chief from the north of Sierra Leone, Ex-Paramount Chief Bai Koblo Pathbana, in 1946. This association may have contributed to the process of national integration.
All who get to know Madam Ella Koblo Gulama for even a brief period are fascinated by her charm, engaging presence and public spiritedness. She is undoubtedly one of the most colourful and resourceful women national figures who have contributed to the political development of Sierra Leone.

When you associate Queensbridge and hip-hop you think the Juice Crew, Nas, and Mobb Deep. All talented emcees who once called "The Other Side" home. One name from QB who doesn't get his just due is Cormega.
Cormega's lyrics often touch on street life he lived, not fabricated tales that litter the landscape of the current game.
Despite his talent, Mega's career has been stymied by petty beefs and label politics. Since those mid-1990s disputes, he has managed to release seven albums.
"Who Can I Trust" was featured on the 1999 Violator Records compilation. Although the song credits The Hot Boys as the featured artist, Lil Wayne is the only member of the group who appears on the song. According to Cormega, this was the first time Lil Wayne was featured on a song with a New York rapper. The Alchemist produced track samples the late, great Isaac Hayes' "No Name Bar."

A Bonner Springs man has sued a Kansas City-area hospital for injuries he suffered when an operating table malfunctioned.
It's the second such lawsuit Shawnee Mission Medical Center has
faced this year. The founder of the huge Deffenbaugh Industries
Inc. waste management firm sued earlier after he was dumped from an
X-ray table in an accident that left him paralyzed.
Ivan Zeleznak filed the latest lawsuit in Johnson County
District Court. He alleges that during surgery to remove his
prostate last year, the special table dropped him five to six
inches, causing permanent injuries.
Zeleznak is also suing the table's manufacturer, Steris Corp.

Poutine at Gargoyles - yum!
I don't know guys -- the bar area is always so busy I'm reluctant to share this tip, but the Poutine on the bar menu at the moment is delicious.
Start with their crispy fries (sorta chunky wedges -- not my favorite in town, but very good in this preparation) and add rich beefy gravy made from a real demi-glace, top with crumbled cojita cheese and melt it all together. My only complaint is it's a tad pricey -- $6 for a smallish dish, although definitely enough to share if you're also having a burger and the escargot special, like we were. Definitely high quality and definitely finger-licking good.
** disclaimer, I've only ever had basic roadside diner - style poutine on the way up to PEI, and this is an altogether fancier version so purists might object.
I still haven't had poutine in Boston that makes it with cheese curd instead of crumbled cheese or cheese sauce. Cheese curd is the authentic way, right you Canucks out there?
re: Bostonbob3
re: yumyum
We've moved a discussion about traditional poutine to the General Topics board at http://www.chowhound.com/topics/374476
I tried them last night with my burger there (instead of the included fries). Not quite the traditional style I'm used to, but very good nonetheless. The cheese was good, but definitely not as melted (or in as great a quantity) as the usual curds. The gravy seemed more absorbed into the fries - not big dollops of it strewn throughout - and tasted excellent.
Great food, but not very good service last night, unlike what I've had there in the past. I will still return and hopefully the poutine (aka "gravy cheese fries") will still be on the menu.
re: skokefoe
Yeah, like I said, it's not truckstop poutine -- but it's mighty tasty anyhow. And you know what, you're not the only one who isn't a big fan of the service lately. Were you at the bar?
If you want to drool over real downhome poutine money-shots (aka foodporn), check out Jim Leff's chowtour in Montreal. I can't WAIT to get up there in July.
re: yumyum
Yep, we were a table of four seated in the front bar section. It probably took 15-20 minutes after we were seated to even get our drink order in. No servers were in sight for most of that time - maybe over-busy in the back section? Luckily the busing staff was on top of its game so at least we had water and bread.
Good article in the Globe about Poutine at Gargoyles. I recently got back from Montreal, and I still prefer the down and dirty truck-stop version but I dig what Jason's doing.

Press Release Templates Offer a Road Map and Allow for Creative Navigation
Do you use digital roadmaps? They typically get you from A to B quickly and efficiently. And when you veer off course, or decide to take a scenic route, your digital map app automatically redirects you based on your new location. And thus is life. There are many ways to get to where we are going. We don't all have to follow the same route. We do however typically need to drive on the road if we want to avoid calling our friends and family for bail money!
Likewise is the life of a PR pro. We are presented with rules and guidelines, templates and processes. All are well and good. And yet, the most talented of us know how to let a structure guide us while allowing our creativity to bring great benefits to our businesses and clients.
Ensure your press release gets play when you consider the following press release best practices as a guide. And remember at the same time that it may be okay to take the more scenic road on your journey to final breakthrough messaging.
One release rule you should very rarely sway from is when you're writing a headline: remember to indicate the why. Why should anyone continue reading? Headline text should hook the reader into wanting to explore the content of the full release. Consider the following good and better examples of a press release headline:
Good - Abe's Muffler Shop to Provide Brake Repair Service
Better – Ensure your Auto is Safe and has Stopping Power when Abe's Muffler Repairs your Brakes
And let's not forget the subhead. A well-crafted subhead can expand upon the headline just enough to encourage the reader to keep reading. For example;
ASE-Certified Technicians Diagnose, Repair and Inspect Your Brakes in Less than 45 minutesLEAD PARAGRAPH
Great lead paragraphs garner attention. Ideally your lead paragraph encourages bloggers and reporters to want more. Think like a reporter. You're busy. You want news quickly. You want something that attract the eyeballs of your audience and at the same time feel new and different. Put yourself in your readers' minds and it will be difficult to craft a paragraph that is anything less than meaningful!BODY COPY
Following the pyramid below is a template approach with little room for outside of the line behavior. That said, there are reasons to write according to an inverted pyramid. And here is why.
The top of the pyramid is the most important copy. If the Blogger or writer stops reading after the
headline, they at least have the news. (If it was well written.) If reading stops after the lead
paragraph, the journalist has gleaned a bit more. And so on. When a release
starts with the finite details of the announcement at the top it is more
difficult for the reader to process. The reader
gets confused and your release
could be
There is no hard and fast rule on length. However consider this. Look at the glossy print publications you currently receive; Wired, Elle Décor, W, Esquire and so on. Notice the length of the articles. Where the majority used to span across many pages and were continued at the back of the publication, we now largely see single page articles.
Readers are busy. They want to consume, enjoy and move on. The target of your release is a journalist. Not your CEO who, rightly so, feels great pride related to the content of your release. Journalists however, need to assess whether the information in our releases align with their readers interests or needs - as quickly as possible.
Certainly you can draft a three page release. And you can also try to back onto a highway from the off ramp. But we recommend doing both at your own risk!QUOTES
Do you need quotes? No. Do they help give your release a personal voice and add visual texture? Yes. Can they be difficult to attain and get approved? Absolutely! Try, however, not to abandon quotes - especially client quotes - because they can be picked up by a journalist and placed directly in a story without even contacting you. What a great way to get coverage!
If there is a best practice regarding quotes we can recommend it's to not make the quote too business-like. Make it real. Write it the way a person speaks.
Quotes can be one of the most dynamic parts of a press release. They can be fun and quirky and keep the reader engaged. They are the pinstripes on a classic car. Follow a template approach for quotes too closely and the press release runs the risk of being a grey car on a highway full of other grey cars.
Be the green boxcar!
Look at the following quotes and determine how you can make your quotes more authentic.
Good – "The ASE professionals at Abe changed my brakes in less than 45 minutes," said Susan Johnson.
Better – "Abe truly had my family's safety in mind," Susan shared. "I felt he really shared every important detail of my brake replacement work with me," Susan Johnson shared.BOILERPLATE
Another essential part of a press release's format is the boilerplate – right? Well maybe. Maybe it makes sense to consider throwing the boiler plate out in place of a call to action. When was the last time you experienced a journalist pickup your boiler plate after all?
Illegal behavior – right?
Well, we may not want to throw out boilers with the bath water, but seriously, could it be time to scale them back? If the release is compelling enough to get the reader all the way to the end, shouldn't we strive to give them something to remember?
Following are 5 unique ways to end a press release. They can replace or augment your (short) boiler. Try them and let us know what they do for you.
- Ask the reader to take a survey
- Include a mini-infographic which can be picked up by anyone and placed on their site with a link back to your site
- Ask the reader to answer a question. Provide a link to your blog where their question can be posted publically (just be sure to answer).
- Show your product or service and a clearly unwanted alternative. Ask the reader to choose.
- Just thank the reader for their time
What press release templates or best practices do you find value in and which ones have you tweaked to make your release work better for you?

In an effort to provide a safe environment for shoppers and deter potential criminals, the New Albany Police Department will be increasing patrols around local retail businesses during the holiday season.
Police officers have already begun to heighten their presence in shopping areas and providing traffic assistance when necessary. Officers will be conducting foot patrols and well as using their patrol cars to increase visibility, according to a press release.
Chief Sherri Knight with NAPD said her department has increased patrols during the holiday season for several years. The patrols will focus on the downtown area as well as local department stores.
Knight said shoppers should be alert while in stores and parking lots.
"It's easy to get distracted while shopping during the holidays," Knight said in the release. "To decrease your odds of becoming a victim, you should be aware of your surroundings and your belongings at all times."
Police offer several safety tips while shopping:
• Do not leave purchased items visible in the car; put bags in the trunk.
• Keep the amount of cash you have at a minimum.
• Park in areas that have adequate lighting and have key ready before getting to your car.

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
Original Article
Scott D. Lawrence, MD; Peter A. Netland, MD, PhD
To compare outcomes between trabeculectomy and combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy in children with glaucoma.
This was a retrospective, comparative study of 40 eyes in 33 patients with pediatric glaucoma: 17 eyes treated with trabeculectomy and 23 eyes treated with combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy. Both groups were treated with intraoperative mitomycin C. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) of 21 mm Hg or less and greater than 5 mm Hg with no additional glaucoma surgery.
Mean follow-up was 38.3 months. There was no significant difference in mean IOP lowering between groups during the follow-up period. Log-rank survival analysis showed a significantly higher success rate after combined surgery compared with trabeculectomy (P = .027). Treatment failures occurred in 5 patients with trabeculectomy and in 2 patients undergoing combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy. Failures resulted from increased IOP (n = 3) or hypotony (n = 4). There were no significant differences in complications observed after surgery in both groups.
Trabeculectomy and combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy with mitomycin C were equally effective at lowering average IOP in children. Combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy was associated with greater long-term success.

The Importance of Sentence Structure
The Importance of Sentence Structure
The boss had to fire somebody, and he narrowed it down to one of two people, Debra or Jack. A difficult choice, as they were both excellent workers. Unable to reach a logical decision, he decided to fire whichever one used the water cooler first the next morning. So the next morning the boss was hovering around the water cooler Debra appeared, nursing a monstrous hangover. She very carefully crept over to the cooler with an aspirin bottle in one hand. The boss said, "Debra, I've never done this before but I feel I've got to lay you or Jack off."
'Better go jack off." she suggested. "I feel like shit."Never approach a bull by the front, a horse from behind, or an idiot from any direction.
hmmm...i wonder which way it turned out

Goodell looks long-term in officials labor dispute
NEW YORK (AP) — Commissioner Roger Goodell say he wants the best officials on the field for the new NFL season, but he's got to think about what's important for the long-term future of the league.
Goodell was asked about the labor stalemate between the NFL and its game officials at a fan forum hours before the season opener Wednesday between Giants and Cowboys.
Goodell says he wants officiating that's consistently good and the flexibility to preplace underperforming officials. He says he's willing to make the short-term sacrifice to achieve that goal.
The league plans to use replacement officials during the first week of the season.

It sounds like that may be the case in a recent interview after UFC on Versus 3 (transcription via Bloody Elbow):
"I don't know (about fighting Anderson Silva). I need to sit down with my entourage and see first where this fight will take place and what weight, and a bunch of stuff. Right now I'm focusing just on Jake Shields, I don't see further than Jake Shields. It would take a long time (to add the size). Anderson Silva is a huge guy; he's weighing around 230 pounds. He's very big. Even when he fights as a light heavyweight, he looks bigger than the other guys. I don't know if I'm going to go up (to) 185. I have no idea; it's a complete reorientation of my career. I have a lot to lose and I haven't thought about it, I haven't sat down to talk about it."
Interesting words coming from Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre as the highly anticipated superfight against Anderson Silva gets closer and closer to becoming a reality. If "Rush" gets past Jake Shields at UFC 129 on April 30, Dana White has made it clear the next step in the French-Canadian's quest to become the greatest of all time will be to defeat the promotion's middleweight kingpin. But from the sounds of it, "GSP" is having second thoughts of jumping up to 185-pounds. After all, "The Spider" is has enjoyed a size advantage against damn near everyone he has fought. In fact, even when he went toe-to-toe against Forrest Griffin, a gigantic light heavyweight, he sized up rather well and it didn't seem to have any effect on his game. Is that weighing heavily on St. Pierre's mind as the fight gets closer to actually happening? Or is he just focused too much on defeating Shields and tiring of questions about a move up in weight class? Have at it, Maniacs.

Huntington Beach, California – HB Street Jams
Category Archives: Street Photography
Another Beautiful Winter Day in Huntington Beach, California
Geometric Prints in Jewelry & Beach Fashion Street Photography
2103 HB US OPEN of SURFING Beach Fashion PhotosThis California surfer girl is Smoking Hot in her Black and White Chevron Print Bikini.
I've been very busy this past few weeks creating my new line of Geometric Jewelry. I was inspired by the current hot Runway Trend of Black and White geometric prints, colorful geometric patterns and shapes. I love the Retro Mod feel of these timeless designs. The Bold Mod Geometric Fashions were really Groovy when they hit the scene in the 1960's, so Bitchin in the 1980's, and they are Fabulously Hot on the Beach in 2013!
The US OPEN of SURFING has been going on this past week in Huntington Beach. The California beach culture, party energy is a great vibe when this Pro Surfing Competition happens here every summer. It is the Largest Surfing Competition in the World, with the best of the best Pro Surfers coming here to compete. The U.S. Open is part of the qualification process for the ASP World Surfing Tour.
My honey and I took a bike ride down to the Beach yesterday morning to get some exercise, and check out the beach scene. Gidgy monster got to ride along in the basket too. I sat there on the grass with Gidget listening to my music and people watching, while he went and tried to get Free Swag from the Vans Promo Guys (he just loves to get something for free). In a matter of just a few minutes of people watching I started noticing a lot of Black and White Geometric Prints in the swimwear, and beach accessories. I was elated to see my hunch to create this Jewelry line must be on the right track. Damn it, I did not bring my Camera! Hubby comes back after a few minutes, well probably more like 20 with a hot tip "Vans is going to be giving out some really good swag in about an hour". Cool! We can ride home and get a bite to eat, drop off the dog, and grab my Camera!
This Stylish Pink and Black String Bikini bathing suit is a really cute take on a colorful Chevron Zig Zag Print.
Black and White Zig Zag Chevron Print Earrings – Sterling Silver
She is too cute in her Black Checkerboard Print knit dress. I love how she accented her outfit with Pink and Black Bangle Bracelets, they match her pink cell phone. I didn't make the bracelets she is wearing, but I do have some Bangle Bracelets that look just like these that are made out of Polymer Clay for Sale in my Shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/152736368/bangle-bracelet-mix-and-match-bracelets?ref=shop_home_active

Even the guys are getting into the action with the checkerboard prints.
He got that good Vans Swag he was after. Yes, a checkerboard Beach Umbrella. How Perfect is that! One of the Van Doran's, the original owners of Vans, gave it to Charlie personally. Vans Surf and Skate wear is making a comeback big time with taking over sponsoring the US Open of Surfing. Oh, there goes a nice blue and green Chevron Print crossing in the background.
I Love this these Black and White Diamond Print Shorts.
Black and White Diamond Dangle Earrings – Black and White Triangle Polymer Clay Earrings with Sterling Silver Wires
This young Surfer Dude was looking too cool in his Turquoise and White Board Shorts. Ah, this takes me back to my youth. It's a good thing my Hubby was there with me, or these boys might have thought I was a Cougar. MeeOw!
I think he likes it! Aw, His friend just wants a hug. Yeah, that's the ticket!
He was a little surprised that I wanted to take his picture. Why not take his picture, he is adorable! Uh, plus he is wearing a geometric print, and that is a good enough reason for me. Maybe I should file this one under Cougar Candy ; )

I want to thank all of my Gorgeous, and Hot Models for giving me Permission to take your Photographs yesterday. You were all so kind to let me take your pictures. I apologize to my last two fashionable ladies that were really rocking the Orange Stripe Skirt, and Chevron Print Dress. I am so bummed that my photos of you were blurry due to a camera malfunction. Hit me up if you would like to appear in a future blog. I promise to bring my reading glasses next time, so I can do your Sexiness justice. If you were one of my Models and you want a copy of your Photo Please leave me a Comment, or send a Private Convo e-mail through ETSY. https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaLindaArtStudio

Independence Day USA ~ Huntington Beach Style
We have a nice view of one of the biggest 4th of July Parades and Celebrations in the Western United States from our 3rd floor sundeck. Most of these photos were taken with a medium range zoom lens from our deck, while I relaxed in the sun and sipped on delicious rum punch. We did venture out in the late afternnoon for a short walk down to HB Pier to do some people watching. We were pleased to find an eclectic array of interesting people on the streets and enjoying the beach.

Motorists traveling through Athens and the state during Memorial Day weekend can expect to see a higher presence of police and state troopers.
Alabama officials announced the extra troopers are the result of the state participating in the nationwide Click It Or Ticket campaign to increase the use of seat belts. Many of the state's city and county law enforcement agencies are also participating.
The state Department of Transportation is anticipating heavy traffic and says it won't have any temporary lane closures on interstate highways through midnight Monday. The department also said road construction and maintenance work will be limited during the busy holiday weekend.
Athens Police Chief Floyd Johnson said more officers will be out in force this weekend. More patrol cars will be seen in high-density areas, he said, while officers may also be conducting roadblocks in lower traffic areas.
"We'll be working in staggered shifts and on the lookout for traffic violators," he said. "Being in multiple areas, more people will see us."

Fine Films' Inocente made history tonight as the first Kickstarter-funded film to win an Oscar. Taking the prize for Best Documentary Short, Inocente follows the story of a 15-year-old homeless and undocumented girl living in California who refuses to give up on her dream of being an artist. The success goes to show how crowdsourced funding, which is transforming the hardware industry, is similarly democratizing filmmaking. Last month, Kickstarter announced that it helped raise over $100 million for film projects, about 40 percent of which went to fund documentaries.

Doorways to Demonic activity in your life
You will learn that there are many doorways of demonic activity. The devil uses every opportunity to enter your life in order to destroy it. Even if he does not accomplish that, at least his demons can be a 'nuisance' in your life. They can oppose every step you take, especially if this step is commanded by God. You must understand that once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you enter into a battlefield that will last your whole life. I am sorry to have to say it this bluntly, but there simply is no easy way to tell this. It is a fact that once you are converted to Christ, your battle against the forces of darkness begins. We must, however, realize that not everybody will have the same measure of demonic attack in their lives. Why some people have stronger attacks and more frequent than others, is not always explainable. People coming out of the occult for example, are more prone to demonic attack after their conversion and subsequent delivery. But this is usually in their case, fairly normal, if we can categorize this as such. But, there are examples of people converted to Christ, who did not dabble into the occult who are being attacked quite ferociously. Sometimes we can trace this back to the ancestor line. Usually there was involvement in the occult or in freemasonry, but sometimes we cannot trace any occult activities and we are left ignorant of these entry points. But this is usually not the norm. God, through the Holy Spirit will more often reveal the source of demonic entrance than not.
Now, let's see what are the most common doorways to demonic activity:
Another source of demonic doorway for example can be places. Some places have a high demonic activity due to their past. In the America 's for example, we see a high demonic activity around and on Indian sacred ground. People living upon these territories experience all kinds of diseases, accidents, and even demonic manifestations. In Germany for example, many places are highly demonic, due to the Nazi's. These were highly involved in the occult. That is why in many places we see evils spirits of hatred, discord and disharmony working on people. Tolerance in this country is low and that is due to the demonic activity that has been loosed by the Nazi's. Their program and outlook was highly intolerant toward others!
From history we know, that Europe for example, has been occupied by foreign forces such as the Romans, the Vikings etc. These were paganistic religions, and especially the Romans were highly involved in blood sacrifices. Places were old Roman temples were built, are still prone to high demonic activity. We often see that places where these civilizations settled are prone to poverty, loss of job, divorce, untimely deaths, high involvement in the occult, idolatry etc. In England for example, the high range of alcoholism can be traced back to the demonic entrance of the country's first invaders. They were known to have drinking binges, and like it or not, these open the doors to demon activity.
Hunted houses or hunted castles, as we all have heard of and seen in the media, are the product of either high criminal activity or involvement in some form in the occult. Usually the demonic activity starts after the death of at least one of the inhabitants. In this way demons can deceive people into thinking that the spirit of the diseases is still 'hunting' the house. This is a lie, it is a demonic manifestation. Demons can change and look like the diseased person. The same goes here for the so called 'apparititions' of a diseased person to its family.
Let's take a look at demonic manifestation. A demon of bondage (Ex. 6:5, Ro 8:15 etc) can enter into someone's life through unrepented sin or through extreme behavior such as extreme religion. But this evil spirit can also come through generational sin, and can thus be inherited. A spirit of bondage can also enter through occupation. With this I mean, through forceful occupation such as kidnapping, highjacking etc. This spirit of bondage never comes alone. Demons never come alone, they always work together. An evil spirit of bondage can work together with an evil spirit of religion, fear, hatred, etc. One demon helps the other destroy a person. A person that has been in bondage to his/her parents through their extreme religiosity can have a spirit of bondage for example, together with an evil spirit of hatred. A good example of this are the fundamentalists.
An evil spirit of divination can come through involvement in the occult. This demon is usually a very strong one, and will be for certain accompanied by an evil spirit of confusion. Why confusion? Confusion about the reality of Jesus. They will entice their victim into thinking that Satan will be victorious and thus negate the truth about Jesus. The heavier the involvement in the occult the stronger the demonic manifestation will be. Some people have even become 'exorcized' or 'demon possessed'. This is usually a heavy form of demon possession in which manifestations such as poltergeist etc can happen. Usually the environment of these people will experience strange phenomena, such as doors that slam shut or open wide spontaneously, or constant knocking up to the moving of objects without them even touching them.
Furthermore, an evil spirit of fear might gain entrance into someone's life through profound anxiety, a shocking event, etc. But possible entry points can be rejection, use of drugs, an accident etc. This is a very strong demon, who usually works together with other demons. In the case of rejection, with demons of rejection, in regard to addiction to demons of bondage and addiction etc. Other demonic sources can be depression, pride, rebellion, criminal activity etc.
Please be aware that the reasons for demonic activity that have been listed above, whether it be in a country or in a person, can differ from place to place and from person to person. It must be looked at individually. We must be careful to generalize, even though in some parts of the world the demon activity is explainable.

Daily News
---- — Three things today: First, I want to congratulate the Greensburg Pirates team and their coaches for winning the Hall of Fame Tourney in New Castle.
David Fry said it better than I can, "Just playing in the prestigious Hall of Fame classic is an accomplishment since invitations are extended to only some of the best teams in the state. To win the event is yet another honor and to represent the community well is a source of pride! Greensburg was the smallest school with the largest crowd and the best team!"
Second, I saw Cheryl Schroeder Hosmer at Bass & Gasper Funeral Home in Westport Sunday. She now lives in Michigan and has edited several books, some about Steve McQueen. Cheryl told me that she is writing a book now – not editing but writing it herself. I won't tell you more right now but it's about someone many of you know. I'm excited for her but I did have a feeling that she had what it takes to success – self discipline.
Mike Gasper and I enjoyed reminiscing about the time I had him and a couple of others on my WTRE program "Chat with Pat." I taped them but when playing it back nothing was on the tape. I still remember the awful sound of silence but Mike was so gracious I recovered.
Third - Last May I wrote that Tom Imel, service officer for the American Legion Post 129, wanted everyone to be aware of what was happening, or could happen, to those stationed at Camp Lejeune for more than 30 days during the years from Jan. 1, 1957 through Dec. 31, 1987.
Unfortunately, for many years the camp's water supply was deadly and those stationed there could have been exposed to drinking water that was contaminated with chemicals that could lead to deadly diseases.
The contaminated water could cause cancers of the bladder, breast, kidney, lung, and esophagus. It could cause female infertility, hepatic steatosis, leukemia, miscarriage, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, neuro-behavioral effects, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, renal toxicity and Scleroderma.
Any veteran eligible for care under the Camp Lejeune authority won't be charged a co-payment for health care related to the illnesses or conditions mentioned above. In addition, any third party insurance company won't be billed for the services.
Imel, who was stationed at Camp Lejeune during those dangerous years, wanted everyone to know about the new law and what it can mean for them. He is a retired member of the United States Marine Corps and was on active duty for more than 22 years.
Imel wants everyone to know the latest about the situation at Camp Lejeune. He showed me a report that stated that a long-awaited study by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms a link between tainted tap water at Camp Lejeune, N.C. and increased risk of serious birth defects and childhood cancers.
The study, released late Dec. 5 by the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry, surveyed the parents of 12,598 children born at Lejeune between 1968 and 1985, the year that Marine officials closed drinking-water wells contaminated with chemicals from a leaky fuel depot and a dry cleaner.
The study concludes that babies born to mothers who drank the tap water while pregnant were four times more likely than normal to have serious birth defects, such as spinal bifida. Babies whose mothers were exposed also had an elevated risk of such childhood cancers as leukemia." The CDC was able to confirm 15 cases of spina bifida and anencephaly, 24 oral clefts and 13 cancers.
More than 100 cases of birth defects and childhood cancers were reported, but only the 52 cases the CDC could confirm through medical records were included in the analysis.
The study relied on models and was not able to measure how much tainted water those surveyed consumed, and therefore could not gauge how much of the chemical they may have been exposed to. The study also did not look at the health effects on adults that drank the water. Eighty-two men with Lejeune ties have been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of breast cancer.
The study contradicts the longstanding position of the military, which for decades has issued public statements downplaying the health risks to Marines and their families.
Records reviewed by The Associated Press show military authorities continued to rely on the wells for years after testing suggested the water was contaminated. The most highly contaminated wells were closed in 1984 and 1985, after a round of more extensive testing found dangerous concentrations of toxins associated with degreasing solvents and gasoline.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance - Medium amber. A slight haze. Medium tall off-white head. Quickly dissipates to a thin film.
Smell - Quite spicy - cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg. Sweet pumpkin. Goes beyond pumpkin pie to chai territory.
Taste - Begins sweet, rich, and pumpkin-y. Then a good dose of pumpkin pie spices. I almost want to check my mouth for spice residue. More forceful than most pumpkin beers I've tried - there's no doubt this is a pumpkin beer.
Mouthfeel - Medium. Smooth. Alcohol warmth?
Overall - Forceful, unabashed, pumpkin. Not something I'd have everyday, but this is a great choice for holiday drinking.

This is a really good beer that I would definitely drink again. There is a promenent pumpkin flavor and low hoppiness. The mouth feel is a little malty and fairly sweet. The color is a nice orange-brown, which you can see thru. Carbonation is weak and not much head. No yeast at the bottom.

22 oz bottle poured into a Sierra Nevada imperial pint
A - Ignoring the disturbing, all-to-quickly-illustrated label, this pumpkin looks delicious; clear dark amber in color, it pours with a light khaki head and little lace left behind.
S - Heavy pumpkin spice gives Pumpkinataur an immediate pie-like aroma; this could be a rich one. Cinnamon sticks and a dash of nutmeg open the pie aroma with mushy pumpkin and sweet caramel malt behind.
T - Sweet pie indeed, this heavily spiced pumpkin beer loads the cinnamon, nutmeg, and dash of clove onto the wedge of pumpkin puree with it's hefty, sweet crust of caramel malt and suggestions of toffee.
M - Despite the heavy aroma and flavor, this 7.5% ABV beer remains pretty drinkable. Clean maltiness and smooth body lend themselves well to the cause, finishing with lingering spice and a medium body.
O - Within the style of pumpkin beer, versions range greatly but Capital opts to go the route of straight pumpkin pie with Pumpkinataur. Heavy spice throughout overshadows actual pumpkin but the idea is there and comes together nicely above a clean malt base with caramel sweetness lingering for a cohesive fall beer!

I Purchased this bottle from my local Hy-Vee Grocery Store the day it was delivered. Poured into a pint glass at around 40F. This beer is sold as a bomber for $6.99 with a 7.5%ABV. I have tried nearly all pumpkin style beers on the market , as they are my favorite seasonal beer.
Apperance- Typical of most good pumpkin beers, a cloudy copper color as described on the bottle. with light head.
Smell- Delicious, I felt like the cinnamon, nutmeg and a raw vegetable like fresh pumpkin smell come through strong in the nose, exactly like a slice of pumpkin pie, including the whipped cream! Delish!
Taste- This beer tastes as close to a slice of pumpkin pie as I could possibly imagine that a beer could, I feel like im eating a slice of pie as much as im drinking a beer! Most other beers of this style don't even come close to the sweetness and robustness of flavor this one has. Leaves a nice pumpkin/cinnamon taste on the sides of the tongue.
Mouthfeel- Creamy , Buttery, smooth with very little hop bite and just a mild amount of carbonation.
Overall- No doubt this is one of my top two pumpkin beers , as far as authenticity to pumpkin pie, this takes the cake, I like to compare it to Southern Tiers Pumking in terms of sweetness but with its own distinct set of flavors like cinnamon and much less hops. great for those who want a big beer but don't like the bitterness that comes along with it. This is a must try for anyone who likes pumpkin beer.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: Pours a clear brass/copper color with a nice off-white head.
S: Nose brings bright nutmeg, mild cinnamon, some allspice, and a bit of caramel maltiness.
T: Taste brings more even-handed spice - ginger, allspice, a bit of cinnamon, with a doughy malt backing.
M: Between light and medium-bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: Very nice execution of the usual pumpkin-pie-spice beer. Certainly hits the spot when you're in the mood for one of those.

Pumpkinataur Rex pours a dark copper color, with a small amount of head. Strong creamy pumpkin aromas, lots of cinnamon, some nutmeg. The taste has a creamy pumpkin flavor, lots of cinnamon, nutmeg, tastes very much like pumpkin pie. Very easy to drink, hints of sweetness, fantastic flavors, very well put together. Overall a fantastic pumpkin beer, don't know if there is one better out there.
