I just celebrated a year at the Henry County Local last week.
It's such a cliché for one to say time has just flown by so I won't say it. I feel like I have been on a tilt-a-whirl with a rewarding amount of pleasure and occasionally someone has thrown their cotton candy in my face.
I consider myself equally as fortunate to cover news in a county where I grew up as it is difficult.

They're adorable. We all comment on how pretty they are, but then we promptly forget about them; moving on to life's next activity. That was me for many years. I never truly stopped to think about the importance of the well-known ladybug. Sure, I knew, like most of us, that the cute little things help protect crops. That was about the extent of it for me. Well, this week, they made their presence known once again. With their sudden appearance, I decided it was time to end my curiosity.
Growth is good but at what cost?
As of the up and coming 2014, Cook's Pharmacy/True Value would have been in business for 50 years in our community. I can't help but think how sad a family business that has had so much influence and been a part of many people's lives in our community will be coming to an end.
Perhaps you've seen it by now — the "diyet list" a 7-year-old wrote that was found by her mother.
"17 pooshups 2 times a day."
"3 appals"
"1 per"
"5 glases of water"
"jog up and down the driv way 3 times"
Wow. The list, found by Australian Amy Cheney, hit news sites and fitness blogs with a collective gasp.

In 2008 Kentucky had the fifth highest rate of drug overdose in the country.
Kentucky has one of the highest rates of pain medication prescribed per capita in the country.
More than 54 percent of the state's residents have been prescribed a narcotic pain medication within the past five years.
Did you realize that out of the 16 million Veterans who participated in WWII, there are only about 1.5 million still living. The U.S. is losing 800 to 1,000 WWII veterans every day, which means in five years most of the Greatest Generation will be gone.
The Henry County Courthouse and Annex will be closing at noon on Friday, March 29, 2013 in observance of Good Friday. Due to the Good Friday holiday, the Henry County Clerk's Office will close at 11:30 a.m. Please do not wait until the last day to do your March renewals! The office will not open again until 8 a.m., Monday, April 1.
Last week I participated in Henry County High School's Operation Preparation.
Lawyers, detectives, farmers and other professionals sat down and discussed with high school and 8th grade students about their respective occupations. We gave out salary ranges, academic requirements, the skills needed for our job and answered student questions.
I was asked what disciplines my occupation required such as oral or written skills, math or science.

Parisa, Menlo Park, CA November 20, 2010"Dear Sandy, David, Jeffrey & Kenny,
Thank you so much for the Tiffany blue & beige Jordan almonds you sent me for my baby shower favors. They arrived yesterday, the day you had promised I that I would receive them!

I would order from you again & will definitely recommend you to my family & friends. Merci Beaucoup! "
Patty, Germantown, Tn August 27, 2010"I received my shipment on time Wed 8/25/10. Luckily we were having a 'cold front', so it was in the high 80's-to low 90's! The box had been sitting on my front porch for atleast an hour before I got home, but all was well! The ice bag had melted but it was cool enough inside the box to keep the jordan almonds and the dark chocolate expresso beans from melting! Of course I had to sample both flavors, even though they are for my daughters wedding in a month! They were both delicious! The almonds are HUGE and look great in the little bird nest baskets for the party favors! The dark chocolate expresso beans, well lets just say that I doubt they make it to the wedding! YUM!--They will be for my private stash! (I wish I had ordered more!) "

Frankly, not 100% sure what to make of this track. It's definitely nice to listen to, but given that I'd rank his collaboration with Little Dragon among one of the best songs this decade…I've got my expectations really high.

Definition: Unsubstantiated Nutritional and Human physiological claims. Broscience does not ALWAYS go hand in hand with being wrong, its just that its simply UNSUBTANIATED. Most Jacked guys claim some of these facts to be true since it "worked for them" when they fail to realize that just because it works for them, it will not always tailor to the common majority. Supplement companies tend to perpetuated Broscience so people will keep believing these myths so companies can make products that accomodate these claims so they in turn make $$. Always read, always question. If your not enjoying yourself throughout your training career your probably doing something wrong.
Example: "If you don't eat every 2-4 hours you'll risk being catabolic at some parts of the day, bro. Vince Delmonte said you need to eat every 2-4 hours!" That is Broscience man. Human beings would not have survived and thrived the way we do today had our dietary needs been that demanding. It's best you ignore everything Vince Delmonte says.

Tee Times in Phoenix
Phoenix Arizona is a golf mecca. This desert oasis is ideal for winter golfing as the temperatures are moderate and the superb golf courses are plentiful. During the heat of the summer tee times in the early morning and evening are hard to come by on short notice. For these prime tee times you will want to book your tee time weeks or months in advance. If you are brave enough to play in the midday heat you are not alone and will find that you frequently will need to book your tee time a week or more in advance.
If you have the desire to play on the courses featured on the PGA and LPGA tours, you will always need to plan well ahead and book your tee times accordingly. Such effort is well rewarded however. If you are staying at one of Phoenix's vaunted resorts like the Wigwam or Mccormick Ranch, be sure and request a room with a view of the Golf Course. Nothing is better than waking up and looking out the window to see the gently rolling greens and elevated tee boxes in use.
The diversity in Golf Course construction is breathtaking. If you prefer to play a traditional golf course, the London Bridge Golf Course is for you. For a challenging day of target golf, The Boulders have a pair of golf courses. Taking advantage of the desert landscape, shots from tee to green need to be precise in distance and direction. The boulders that line the course and surround many greens will send your ball in random directions and great distances if your balls path should find them in the way. Whatever your tastes, reserving your tee times in Phoenix is a good move.
You may consider Tee Times at the following golf courses:

National recovery plan for Ginninderra Peppercress (Lepidium ginninderrense)
A Recovery Plan under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (C'wlth), based on an Action Plan (Action Plan No. 25) prepared for the species under the Nature Conservation Act 1980 (ACT)
Species Description and Ecology
The Ginninderra Peppercress Lepidium ginninderrense N. H. Scarlett (Figure 1) is a perennial herb to a maximum height of about 20 cm, with one to six branched stems arising from a rootstock. Stems are striate and moderately papillose. Leaves are thick and fleshy, glabrous and shiny on the upper surface. Rosette leaves are widely spaced and very narrow (1.5 to 2.0 mm wide) and 15-55 mm long. The inflorescence is an elongating raceme with a maximum length of 15 cm. Flowers are small, 2 mm wide and 1.5 mm long. Sepals are less than 1 mm long and about 0.5 mm wide, green and with scarious margins. Petals are absent (Scarlett 2001). Lepidium ginninderrense flowers in late spring. It sets seed mainly in December and the majority of seed is dispersed before August (Avis 2000).
Distribution and Abundance
The only known population of Lepidium ginninderrense occurs in the north-west corner of Belconnen Naval Transmission Station in the suburb of Lawson in the Australian Capital Territory (which is the type locality). The population is currently about 2000 plants, occupying an area of 90 x 30 metres (Avis 2000).
A second record of L. ginninderrense is from 1952 in the ACT suburb of Reid, however, a recent search failed to locate the species in this area (M. Gray pers. comm. cited in Scarlett 2001).
L. ginninderrense has been recorded only from these two cited localities in the ACT and is not known from outside the ACT. The species is remarkably disjunct from all other members of the allied Lepidium section Papillosa in south-eastern Australia, which are mainly confined to the inland plains west and north of the Eastern Highlands (Scarlett 2001).
At the type locality Lepidium ginninderrense grows on the flood plain of Ginninderra Creek, in Natural Temperate Grassland dominated by Austrodanthonia spp. and Bothriochloa macra. Associated herbaceous species include Plantago gaudichaudii, Juncus filicaulis, Triptilodiscus pygmaeus, Parentucellia latifolia and Calocephalus citreus (Scarlett 2001).
Avis (2000) has shown that L. ginninderrense grows in areas with relatively low perennial grass cover, often with indications of past soil disturbance.
The soil type over most of the site is a shallow red earth, with patches of colluvium on the footslopes (Crawford and Rowell 1995a cited in Lowe 1996, p. 41). The population occurs at an altitude of approximately 580 metres.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Signs of Hope in a Conflicted Society
FRONT ROYAL, VA (Human Life International) - Walking among a half million fellow pro-lifers last Friday in the nation's capital, one could not help but reflect on the irony: We marched to remember the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's abolition of every state law against abortion in Roe v. Wade, while only four days previously the same streets were filled with people celebrating the re-inauguration of the most pro-abortion president in our nation's history.
It is quite an understatement to say that those attending the two huge events were motivated by starkly different values, and different visions for the nation.
With the re-election of Mr. Obama, the majority of voting U.S. citizens, perhaps unwittingly for many, validated the most destructive agenda against human life this country has ever seen. This administration has made its main priority the unhindered accessibility of contraception and abortion, while elevating within U.S. domestic and international policies the redefinition of marriage.
President Obama's vision of our nation includes the abortion of 1.2 million unborn children each year. He believes that providing hormonal contraception to women is good health care, and disregards the scientific proof to the contrary. He is willing to set aside the foundational institution of any society -- the natural family -- in order to establish what he calls "equal dignity"-- regardless of its harm to culture and society. This is his vision of what the United States should be, and sadly, many Americans share it.
On Friday of the same week, in defiance of freezing temperatures, 500,000-plus Americans gathered on the National Mall to voice their opposition to the status quo of the administration. They boldly proclaimed their rejection of the president's vision. Though the mainstream media failed to provide coverage of the largest pro-life gathering in the U.S., the voices of these marchers were loud and clear.
Moreover, it was quite evident that the majority of participants were young people who have a very different vision of America than was celebrated only days earlier. They professed their belief in God, the dignity of the person and the protection of every human life. Tomorrow's leaders have a different vision and they will not fade away, be ignored or be bullied into silence and acceptance.
These ardent and courageous witnesses are not alone in their call for a different kind of society than the one they see currently under construction. State and local pro-life marches and events are growing. More Americans are becoming informed about the life issues and becoming active in the pro-life movement, especially young adults. I see it in my travels and in the conferences I attend.
Last year, for example, I participated in a number of pro-life events that were non-existent the previous year, and noticeably they are filled with young people and families. They recognize the problems of our culture and want them fixed. In order to create a new vision for our nation we must first establish and protect the sacredness of life, defend the dignity of every person and uphold the beauty of marriage between one man and one woman.
They also understand the unsustainability of the president's vision, and that there is no tomorrow if the dignity of life remains unprotected.
These signs of hope are being witnessed all over the world. I was in Ottawa in 2012 for its March for Life and joined 25,000 participants, five thousand more than the year before.
The 2012 March for Life in Brussels gathered over 4,000 and projects a stronger gathering this March 25.
Recently, 30,000 pro-lifers gathered in Dublin, Ireland to defend its Culture of Life against those forces determined to destroy it. In the same month in Paris, France, over 1 million people gathered to protest against the radical redefinition of marriage.
In spite of the passage of the Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines in December, tens of thousands of Filipinos still gather in rallies to demand justice for every member of their society, especially the most vulnerable, the pre-born baby.
In 1991 there were 2,176 abortion mills in the U.S. Today there are 655, and they are continuing to decrease. At one time the number of abortion mills overshadowed the number of centers offering authentic assistance to women in need, but today there are over 2,500 crisis pregnancy centers across our nation.
The fight for life is far from over and there are battles yet to be fought. But I draw great comfort in seeing so many across our nation and around the world getting involved. I left the March for Life in D.C. filled with a strong sense of hope and challenge.
In closing, I would like you to consider the words of Sacred Scripture as we move forward in our efforts. Our labor will be in vain unless we acknowledge WHOM we serve and what HE asks of us.
"See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it." (Deuteronomy 30:15-16)

Three finalists have emerged for the Phoenix Suns' general manager's job, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Suns plan to have completed interviews with Boston assistant general manager Ryan McDonough, Milwaukee assistant GM Jeff Weltman and San Antonio Spurs assistant GM Scott Layden soon, sources said.

"All I can say is that Jim Dolan treated me very well, paid me well, and I have no ax to grind," he said. "With Jim, I think people only get part of the story, and that's because he doesn't want to put his being on display. When you're the owner of a team, and the team hasn't done well and people are judging you by what you do there, it's usually not good. I mean, George Steinbrenner — who loved him when the Yankees weren't any good?" Walsh added: "Jim let me do some things he wouldn't let other people do, and I think in the end, I did what I said I would do when I got there. I put them in a position so the next guy didn't have to do the things that Isiah and Scott Layden had to do: try to keep their job by trading sideways, taking the worst contracts." New York Times |

The San Antonio Spurs today announced that Scott Layden has been named the team's assistant general manager. Layden brings over 25 years of experience in the NBA to the Spurs front office. Layden has spent the past seven seasons with Utah Jazz as an assistant coach, his second stint with the Jazz. NBA.com |
» Saturday, September 1 2012 |
The San Antonio Spurs have hired former New York Knicks president and general manager Scott Layden as an assistant GM, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Yahoo! Sports Layden had been an assistant coach with the Jazz, and replaces Dennis Lindsey, who left the Spurs to become Utah's GM last month. Front-office jobs with the Spurs are considered golden in the NBA, largely because of the chance to work under GM RC Buford and president-coach Gregg Popovich. In recent years, Spurs assistant GMs – including Lindsey, Danny Ferry, Sam Presti and Dell Demps – have taken a fast-track to becoming top executives elsewhere. Yahoo! Sports One of Layden's primary responsibilities will be administering the Spurs' scouting department. Houston Rockets VP of Player Personnel Gersson Rosas had also been a serious candidate for the Spurs job, league sources said. Yahoo! Sports |
» Monday, August 27 2012 |
Jazz assistant coach Scott Layden has accepted an invitation by Spurs management to interview for the organization's assistant general manager vacancy, according to a source.

The Chico Police Department prepares for the unexpected this weekend, said Capt. Lori MacPhail. Officers plan for large crowds and unruly behavior that is alcohol-fueled, but they don't know what will take place.
Staffing will be increased starting Friday, MacPhail said. There will be a regular shift, an evening shift, and a special events team for swing and graveyard shifts. It will be the same for Saturday night.
On St. Patrick's Day, which lands on Sunday, officers will start patrolling in the afternoon, she said.
A mounted enforcement team will also be active for 10-hour shifts starting 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, she said. Sunday is still to be determined.
Although Chico State University moved its spring break to ease the holiday revelry, this year it falls before spring break officially starts.
Some students won't leave until after, or at all, MacPhail said. And then there are the people who live in Chico.
An array of law enforcement agencies will help deal with the expected rise in incidents throughout the weekend.
The Butte, Glenn and Colusa county sheriff's offices will transport people who are arrested to the Butte County Jail in Oroville, MacPhail said. Agents from the Alcohol Beverage Control department and investigators from the Department of Motor Vehicles will focus on underage drinking and make sure valid IDs are being presented
ABC agents will also help enforce beverage control laws and check that people are not being overserved, said John Carr, ABC spokesman. There is a strong possibility they'll also be doing minor decoy operations.
CSU police and all Chico police volunteers will be helping in a variety of capacities, MacPhail said. The Butte County Avoid the Eight, which is made up of law enforcement agencies in the county, will be operating DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols to locate drunken drivers on the road.
The Chico Fire Department will have inspectors dealing with occupancy issues as well as other duties.
There will be zero tolerance for individuals who break the law and they should expect consequences, MacPhail said. Officers will be arresting people and writing citations.
In 2012, officers made 51 arrests between 5 p.m. March 16 and 5 a.m. March 18, according to police records. There were 19 drunk in public arrests and nine drunken driving arrests.
The glass ban and open container codes will be in effect and enforced from 7 a.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Monday around downtown and the area south of Chico State.
There is nothing wrong with celebrating, MacPhail said. However, people need to be responsible for their behaviors and not drink in excess.

I recently picked up the Canon EOS 550D Rebel T2i DSLR with my friend and collaborator, Nadia Tan (we had initially planned on buying a 7D before reading about the release of this little camera), and while on a location scout in Toronto's Chinatown East on Tuesday I shot this footage at Wong's Aquarium. The video specs of the T2i match those of the 7D exactly: It shoots 1080p HD @ 23.98fps (as well as 25 and 30) and 59.94fps in 720p, it has the same 18.7 megapixel CMOS sensor of the same size (22.3mm x 14.9mm , APS-C dimensions), it has an ISO range of 100-6400 and extended to ISO 12800, it shoots the same 16:9 H.264 codec, and the camera body, albeit noticeably smaller than and not as rugged as that of the 7D, includes the same bright, beautiful 3″ LCD screen. Like the 7D, it also has the problem of disabling Live View mode when sending a signal out to an external monitor via mini HDMI, so unless you can bypass this problem by operating off of an onboard and sending a signal to additional monitors from that, you're pretty much stuck with only being able to offer playback as a means for others to see what you're shooting.
On a 16GB SDHC card I can shoot 48 minutes of footage at 1080p… perfect for some of the plans I have to take this camera out on doc shoots, and a short narrative being shot on my T2i is already in the works for early April. I'll post tests and samples as I get them.
In the meantime, check out my scene from Wong's Aquarium- and if you've been thinking of buying a 7D primarily for its video capabilities, I strongly suggest you consider the T2i instead!
To think that just five years ago I paid five times as much for my (standard def!) DVX100a… HD is now remarkably inexpensive and the glorious, lush selective focus possible with the larger sensors offered by these HDSLRs means filmmakers need no longer equate "video" with "infinite depth of field" and a therefore "uncinematic" look. On top of this, the accessibility of industry standard quality is creating a shift in creative power and giving a leading edge to those with big ideas over those with big toys… I love perusing the vimeo and youtube channels and seeing what people are up to.

User Review: Canada Goose Men's Snow Mantra Parka
Price Paid: $499
Spent four years working in the Arctic and only got cold once and that was because I didn't bring my Snow Mantra with me! Has all the small attention to detail that can make a day very comfortable or being stuck out for a night survivable. If you're going to work in the Arctic get the Snow Mantra, or wait 10 years and global warming will take care of the cold for you.

A Morning Well-Spent With New York's Finest
Posted by Dana Campbell, ALDF Attorney on March 29th, 2010Don't be fooled, those hard-boiled NYPD cops are pussycats with hearts of gold, at least the ones were that I met a few weeks ago while doing a presentation on animal cruelty at the New York City Police Department's Training Academy in Manhattan. As the story was told to me, NYPD Commissioner Kelly took ALDF up on its offer of free training after receiving several of our letters also offering our expertise on some of their uglier pending animal cruelty cases, and ordered his training commanders to set it up. As (bad) luck would have it, the date selected turned out to be in the middle of the worst snow storm of the season. My flight there from Rochester the afternoon prior to the training was canceled, but I was determined not to let this opportunity to reach out to such an important audience pass by, so I boarded a train for a 10-hour(!) ride into the City. (Is there anyone out there still questioning the need for high-speed trains? If so, see me.)
While the snowstorm did affect attendance somewhat, we still ended up with about 150 training commanders (out of an expected 200 or so) who appeared hungry for the information and asked great questions that indicated they were fully engaged. I spoke to them about the link between human and animal violence, New York's animal cruelty laws, and who to call and how to handle being first responders when coming across an abused animal. The best part is that each of these officers are now spread out across the five boroughs, bringing ALDF's training to each and every member of each and every precinct there.
Perhaps the best part, for me, was that after I finished, a good number of officers crowded around me to ask more questions but mostly, to relate their heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking, stories of their animal cases.
One officer with a heavy Russian-sounding accent related how she arrived on the scene to rescue a neglected dog with a chain imbedded in her neck, only to be attacked by the scared dog as she approached. The officer got help neutralizing the dog, who was treated by a vet, and ended up going home with the officer! Now, three years later, the dog is beautiful with no sign of the neglect. I know this because the officer proudly showed me her current photos of the sweet dog.
Another officer, who looked and sounded like he stepped right out of an episode of The Sopranos, shared his anguish at turning himself nearly inside out getting four tiny adorable kittens unstuck from a gutter, only to see them euthanized at the overcrowded shelter days later. This tough guy's eyes teared up as he talked to me about this.
I wish I had better answers for all of the officers who lamented this population control/overcrowding issue. However, I now hold out great hope that animals in trouble in the Big Apple who do cross paths with NYPD will be just fine.
As founder of PurrEver Ranch Sanctuary (A Hospice For Senior Kittizens) & the proud mother of a police officer, this story touched me on many levels. Bless you men & women in blue who see the world at its worst and protect us from all that is bad. For you truly are the very best - "The Finest" Thank you for making all our lives safer and the world a better place.
The answer for these heroes is keep doing what you are doing. Case by case you will make a difference. You are conveying a strong message in reference to love and respect for animals. You are winning, don't stop now. You are our example...let the world learn from you. And may you walk in saftey and happiness everyday of your life...for this will be my prayer for you.
That incident about the four kittens broke my heart!! Thank you officer for rescuing them, and even though they died, you ARE their hero!!!!
As a rescuer myself (dogs, cats, equines) I can identify with the heartbreak that officer felt! Part of the reason I have 4 dogs and 6 cats at the moment is due to not feeling the people who showed interest in adopting one of the 4 kittens brought to me last Sept, after their wild mother was taken by coyotes when their eyes were barely open - had to raise them on a bottle and numerous feedings through day and night for a bit, was because the people thought they were "darling" at 4-5 weeks and wanted one when older - then would be gone for 2-3 weeks at a time. I pointed out that these were house cats now and couldn't survive outside - and they had just figured to leave them outside when they were gone! So now at 7 months (and fixed!) they bring joy to my life every day! Don't give up officers - there are those of us out here that will help stop the insanity! Blessed Be.
After just reading the horrific story about the dog that got beaten to death by a fire officer in California, this story was a welcome reminder that not all people who are chosen to serve and protect our safety miss use their power. I thank ALDF for making this lecture possible and hope they choose to do it in other states around the country. The two stories that were told were both heart warming and heart breaking. I know that these stories go on thought out the day across the country and I hope all the kind compassionate officers out there will continue to strive to make this a more compassionate and safe world for humans and animals alike. Thank you to those that make that difference.
I am not a rescue organization volunteer, I usually work alone or with a network of friends and family in the rescue and homing of whatever abused or abandoned animals God puts in my path. Although there is inevitable heartache in putting yourself out there, there are also immesurable rewards. I have 8 cats and 1 dog, all rescues. Although I am disabled now I still do whatever I can when the need arrives. I am fortunate that my husband is also an animal lover and supports me in my endeavors. I have 3 nephews who are all animals lovers and all work in law enforcement. So I too understand that the men in law enforcement are usually good souls who join to serve and protect not just people but animals too.

The East County Observer and Bogey's Restaurant and Sports Pub have teamed up to showcase the East County's top athletes. Each recipient's article will be featured on the restaurant's wall.
Ten-year-old Christian Lowe has just one goal in mind every time he steps into the batter's box — hit one out of the ballpark.
It's a goal the Braden River Little League Minor's Division All-Star has been dreaming about since he first began playing baseball six years ago.
"I like to try to hit it out, and that's going to be my lifetime goal," Lowe said. "I've hit a homerun, but I've never hit it over."
So when Lowe walked to the plate in the top of the first inning July 2, he couldn't help but zero in on Manatee National's pitcher and his lifelong goal. He dug in his cleats, placed a firm grip on the bat and waited for the pitch. Lowe didn't have to wait long before making contact, sending the ball deep into center field for a three-run double.
Lowe's two hits and a walk on the night helped propel Braden River past Manatee National 10-2 for their second win of the season.
"We work together and blend together, and I think that makes us a very good team," Lowe said.
Lowe started playing T-ball for Braden River when he was 4 years old.
"I like that it's competitive," Lowe said. "You have to work hard and you have to work as a team."
He worked his way up through T-ball and pitching machine before spending the last two years playing in the league's minor's division. Last month, Lowe, who pitches, catches and plays third base, was named to his first all-star team.
"I think he's very respectful of the other players and coaches and he's a very good listener," Braden River assistant coach Richard Nelson said of Lowe. "Everyone gets along with Christian."

In 1968, Joan Didion, a native Sacramentan, wrote in ''Slouching Towards Bethlehem'' of the city's then-insular nature. ''What happened in New York and Washington and abroad seemed not to impinge at all on the Sacramento mind,'' she said. Today, in the midst ...
ON THE GROUND: In Sacramento; Good Times Continue to Roll In a Gold Rush Capital City
The original big business in Sacramento was gold, back in 1849. After the Gold Rush died down, the biggest industries in the city -- the capital of California -- were politics and agriculture. Both are still booming, but in the last decade the city has emerged ...
36 Hours | Sacramento
THE 100-degree days are gone, and so are the lobbyists and politicians who normally snap up tables in Sacramento's best restaurants -- it's campaign season. The winter rains haven't arrived, the Sacramento River cruises are still running, and you can have Old Sacramento, ...
For years the best thing that could be said about Sacramento was that it was centrally situated, a short drive from the ocean, the wine country and interesting places, like San Francisco, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. But these days, California's sprawling state capital ...

THE PROBLEM OF hypertension in this country's black population is well known, well documented, and well publicized. Hypertension afflicts 28% of adult blacks, compared with 17% of adult whites. Most researchers say that blacks tend to develop high blood pressure at a younger age than whites, and severe hypertension is five times more common in blacks (JAMA 1977; 237:2385-2391).
The morbidity and mortality of hypertension in blacks is more than distressing. This country has a "stroke belt," running roughly from the eastern border of Texas to the Georgia coast, south of the Mason-Dixon line, where overall stroke mortality is higher than anywhere else. The black population accounts almost totally for the excess.
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Bethesda, Md, blacks have a stroke mortality rate 66% higher than whites. Black people also have abnormally high rates of ischemic heart disease and renal disease. That inordinate morbidity

In a news conference at AirVenture on Tuesday, SMA CEO Thierry Hurtes announced Cessna Aircraft Company will be launch customer for SMA's SR305-230E Engine for the Cessna Turbo Skylane NXT aircraft. While that was breaking news by itself, there was more revealed in the news conference on the engine and the direction SMA maybe heading as the continue pursue the General Aviation marketplace. One of the design features of this direct drive Diesel of 230 shp is that it maintains constant power up to 10,000 ft. Another feature of this Single lever Control Engine is that in the rare event of a ECU (engine control unit) failure, the mechanical fuel supply system becomes directly controlled by the pilot in SMA's manual backup mode.
When asked about the marketing of the SR305-230E and if SMA would pursue a dual track of working with OEM's to integrate it into their production airframes as well as pursue the Engine Retrofit STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) marketplace Hurtes (pictured) said "The intention is to support the community through contracts like this one, with integrated cells with OEM's that's intention with our partners, this is what did with Cessna." While going forward SMA will only focus on the OEM market, Hurtes noted they will fully support the existing SMA SR 305-230-1 that are in the field under a STC for Cessna 182's.
When asked it their would be growth variants based on this now proven architecture, that is potentially 2, 6 and 8 cylinder variants Hurtes said "It's obvious that a configuration of that kind you have the intention to grow the family, OK, well I have a brother and 2 kids so it is no more than that, (the audience responded with laughter). Speak about growing the family growing, growing, probably a more up than down, probably probably. Whether it is to provide more thrust with this one, which is possible, or to provide more thrust with an assortment of another, that is in our minds, the market will ask for it if necessary."

Trishia, I envy your Photoshop expertise with these images. Wow! I'm very impressed with the way you were able to remove the bright colors from the kissing couple image. If you want to see some fun photoshop techniques, google "you suck at photoshop". There are some really funny videos there, and some good tips, as well.
- March 22, 2012 at 10:55 AM

As far as the top kissing couple goes, I didn't mind the colors...their hands or specifically fingers are funky or awkward looking as far as I'm concerned. I had that one in my shopping cart 3 times, and finally when it came to the final cut, I didn't buy them. Why? Couldn't get past the fingers. :-)
I'm with you in wishing there is were an short but intensive class for Photoshop. I've found lots of tutorials, but no one seem to be where I go back to time and again. I find I need a combo of written as well as video.
The second beauty...I like your restored version. The stamps in the original were too distracting for me. I like the interest you added to the background of your altered version, but find my eye is drawn more to that than the lovely beauty. :-) My mind wanders and thinks, "hmmm, wonder what's through that doorway, looks interesting. I'd like to explore there!" which totally discounts the beauty who should be the focal point. It may just be my monitor, too, but in the last altered version she seems a little jaundiced. I think leaving more blue in her dress would help her pop off the page more. I think she would also be a great candidate for a cutout, as would the next one down. The cutout would let each person mix and match her to their own choice of background. So for versatility, I'd more likely buy the cutout version.
That's my 2cents for what it's worth. Alot of this comes down to personal tastes. - March 22, 2012 at 4:13 PM

Re: the kissing couple, After is way better, despite the funny hands. The next one down I like the restored the best. Wallflower just doesn't grab me, may be the colors and that pink thingy in her hair. I'd like Dainty with a better background and a choice..background or cutout. Clear Eyes..lose the stamp. Even in the sepia it's distracting to me. I'd like to see her colorized..her scarf has color and she's colorless. Background.. maybe just a dreamy color wash even in that aqua (?)tone.

Hi Trishia. Your poor arm. I totally sympathize.
1. Though not an option really love your after and think she is quiet a beauty.
2.Also not a choice, but like your altered version because of the muted color plus you can really see the detail of the pearls in her hair...and her hair although it does look a little apocalyptic in the background.
3. Choice #1. I have never been a fan of the dead powdered hair. I love the dress and the color of the green, but the background blends with her skin too much.
4. Choice #2. Dainty's pinks are a tad bright and her background is quite dark. I don't mind this as I can fix these myself, but for some it might not be possible.
5. Choice #3. Clear Eyes. She is an adorable child. Her scarf doesn't bother me, I think it is the peacock wallpaper that is more bothersome and lends a Middle Eastern look. Since this one has sooo much happening the stamp is a distraction also.
Overall I like all of these better than the first round drafts! - March 22, 2012 at 10:41 PM
- WoeNelly said...
You've done a great job working with Photoshop. I agree with others that the 2nd photo of the couple is best. I like the altered version of the second picture.
When I see 'unusual' poses/colors, or strange backgrounds... I tend to think of funny sayings and humor or I'll just cut out the parts I like. - March 23, 2012 at 8:19 AM
- nelda said...
Perhaps you could try softening the background when the backgrounds are too distracting...like the pro photographers do. Also, look at your top sellers and analyze common features. This will give you a better understanding of what your buyers like. Then please consider giving up on the duds..they could suck all your time away and still not sell. Nearly all shop keepers will find they have some duds in their inventory at some point in time. These duds just need to go away, instead of receiving more time and attention.
- March 23, 2012 at 8:29 AM
- Ann said...
clear eyes..shes darling..background isn't a problem for me at all...the stamp doesn't "fit" the photo,it very distracting.
i use images with backgrounds and cutouts!...no real preference!
if you find a one week intensive PS class let me know!! i keep finding stuff on PS that i didn't know i had!!! - March 23, 2012 at 9:41 PM
- lynne said...
Hi Trishia
I have always been drawn to Clear Eyes but in truth, always a little niggle held me back, couldn't put my finger on it. She is darling, no doubt about it. As for Middle Eastern cards, I have made one, it was for my Dad who was in Egypt (his young army days) but other than that, not really my place of choice.
Dainty has possibilities but yes, the background does let her down.
I am in awe of anyone who even tries PS so bravo to you.

The drone is extremely compact — the company says that it weighs about three pounds and fits into a backpack — and its operator does not need any knowledge of flight.
That's good, because most people fail horribly at throwing themselves at the ground and missing. Not even high bridges seem to help.

Perhaps if the West wasn't murdering civilians with their drones on a near daily basis, these two muslims might not have been so angry?
No, you've got it all wrong. You see, the Sunnis will be quite happy if you cheerfully massacre a few Shi'ites for them, and the Shi'ites won't consider it a big deal if you blow up a few Sunnis into the afterlife every now and then. You just have to be clever and concentrate on killing Muslims of only one of those two kinds, and then live in barracks close to the housings of the other kind, or otherwise you'll be meeting angry Muslims on the streets instead of the jubilating ones.
Alternatively, both Sunnis and Shi'ites will pat you on the back and buy you a beer if you bring them a scalp of an Ahmadi. That's one of the few things they can agree upon.
Offering to waive a right in return for settlement without bringing suit is not extortion.
Wow, that means that the Prenda and MAFIAA guys are actually good guys!

Mark Lind – IT Director
Mark Lind serves as the Director of Information Technology for the Southern Mono Healthcare District. His areas of responsibility include Information Systems, Hospital Information Systems, Bio-Med, Telecom, and Help Desk. His previous career path included 10 years of working for General Research in Santa Barbara, CA. Their product was the custom-design and manufacturer of instrumented impact-testing devices for the automobile, military and aerospace industries. Mark started as a temporary employee while attending college and progressively worked his way up into management. He also earned his Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering during that time. When his
division was bought by Instron Corporation in Canton, MA, Mark was asked to bring his expertise to their company and was a key player in the moving and setting up the manufacturing unit in Canton. Mark's favorite aspect of this position during his five-year tenure with Instron was being able to travel to many interesting places for system installations both domestically and internationally.
Both Mark and his wife of 17 years grew up in Bishop and felt the need to return home after the birth of their first son, Eric. Mark's passion for technology and willingness to try new things led him to Mammoth Hospital's doors in 2002 when he was hired as an IS Support Tech. Because of the rapid growth of the hospital and the many opportunities presented, Mark has been able to merge both his leadership and technology experience in his role as Director. Mark and his wife, Shannon, enjoy hiking in the back country with their two boys, Eric and Jonathan, ages five and eight. They are also very involved in youth sports, including soccer, hockey and baseball.

Cystoscopy is a test that looks at the inner lining of the bladder and the tube from the bladder to the outside of the body (urethra). The cystoscope is a thin, lighted viewing tool that is put into the urethra and moved into the bladder.
When the cystoscope is inside your bladder, sterile water or saline is injected through the scope to help expand your bladder and to create a clear view. A medicine may also be injected through the scope to reduce chances of infection. Tiny instruments may be inserted through the scope to collect tissue samples (biopsy) to test.`
A cystoscopy can check for stones, tumors, bleeding, and infection. Cystoscopy can see areas of the bladder and urethra that usually do not show up well on X-rays. Tiny surgical instruments can be put through the cystoscope to remove samples of tissue (biopsy) or samples of urine.
Cystoscopy also can be used to treat some bladder problems, such as removing small bladder stones and some small growths.
