Product Features
- Lighter and thinner
When reading for long periods of time, customers know that weight matters. That's why Amazon worked hard to make Kindle lighter than ever, so you can read comfortably for hours with just one hand. Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback, and thinner than a magazine. Just a third of an inch in profile, Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.
- Ergonomic design
Kindle is easy to hold and read. Amazon designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages from any position. The soft-touch, textured back is comfortable to hold.
- Get books in 60 seconds
Whispernet utilizes Amazon's optimized technology plus Wi-Fi networks to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered over Wi-Fi via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. Wireless download speeds can vary based on file size.
- Built-in Wi-Fi
Kindle automatically detects nearby Wi-Fi networks at school, home, or your favorite cafe. At a hotel or cafe that requires a password? Simply enter the password and connect to the network. Once you have added a Wi-Fi network, Kindle will automatically connect to that network the next time you're near the hotspot. Kindle does not currently connect to enterprise or peer-to-peer networks.
- Worry-free archive
Delete with abandon. Kindle automatically keeps an archival copy of your Kindle books - re-download for free, anytime. Kindle even backs up your last page read and annotations, so when you're-download to the device you can pick up where you left off with all of your notes still in place.
- Paper-like screen with 50% improved contrast
Kindle uses Amazon's high-contrast E-ink screen with 50% better contrast than any other e-reader. With this display, text "pops" from the page, creating a reading experience most similar to reading on printed paper. Sharp and natural with no glare or backlight, reading on Kindle is nothing like reading on a computer screen.
- Proprietary Screen technology - faster page turns and improved fonts
Kindle's high-contrast display is further optimized with Amazon's proprietary waveform and font technology to make pages turn faster and fonts sharper. Amazon has tuned Kindle's waveform and controller mechanism to make page turning 20% faster. This waveform tuning, combined with hand-built, custom fonts and font-hinting, make words and letters more crisp, clear, and natural-looking. Font hints are instructions, written as code, that control points on a font character's line and improve legibility at small font sizes where few pixels are available. Hinting is a mix of aesthetic judgments and complicated technical strategies.
- Adjustable text size
Kindle has eight adjustable font sizes to suit your reading preference. You can increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading comfortably. Every book in your library can be large print.
- Newspaper reading
Using Kindle's 5-way controller, you can quickly flip between articles, making it faster and easier to browse and read the morning paper. Want to remember the newspaper or magazine article you just read? Clip and save entire articles for later reading with a single click. Newspapers are auto-delivered wirelessly to Kindle before they hit newsstands.
- Search
Kindle's keyboard makes it easy to search within a book, across your library, in the Kindle store, or even the web. To use the search feature, simply type in a word or phrase you're looking for, and Kindle finds every instance in your book or across your Kindle library. Looking for the first reference of a character in your book? Simply type in the name and search. You can extend your search to the Kindle store to find related titles you may be interested in. Explore even further by searching Wikipedia and the web.
- Bookmarks and annotations
By using the QWERTY keyboard, you can add annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a book. And because it is digital, you can edit, delete, and export your notes. You can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages for future use.
- Share meaningful passages
Share your passion for books and reading with friends, family, and other readers around the world by posting meaningful passages to social networks like Facebook and Twitter directly from Kindle, without leaving the page. Want to post or tweet about a book or newspaper article? When you highlight or create a note in your book or periodical, you can easily share it with your social network. Help your network of family and friends discover authors and books.
- Popular highlights
If several other readers have highlighted a particular passage, then that passage will be highlighted in your book along with the total number of people who have highlighted it. It's easier to review, remember, and learn more from the books you read.
- Built-in dictionary with instant lookup
Kindle includes the Oxford American dictionary with over 250,000 entries and definitions, so you can seamlessly look up the definitions of English words without interrupting your reading. Come across a word you don't know? Simply move the cursor to it and the definition will automatically display at the bottom of the screen.
- Read-to-me
With the text-to-speech feature, Kindle can read English newspapers, magazines, blogs, and books out loud to you, unless the book's rights holder made the feature unavailable. You can switch back and forth between reading and listening, and your spot is automatically saved. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you can listen hands-free. You can choose from both male and female voices which can be sped up or slowed down to suit your preference.
- Voice guide
With text-to-speech, Kindle can read out loud to you. Text-to-speech enabled menus allow customers to navigate Kindle without having to read menu options. In addition to listening to books aloud, users now have the option of listening to content listings on the home screen, item descriptions, and all menu options.

I used to own a tattoo shop and although we also used to sell several version of tattoo balm, my personal favorite is the Dr. Bronner's Balm: Dr. Bronner's Organic Balm In the shop, we sold mostly H2Ocean products: H2Ocean Tattoo AfterCare They make some great products and used to have a foam or mousse that was kind of nice. In a pinch, good old A&D and the lotions Markeeezy mentioned. Just remember, no dyes/perfumes/junk to prevent infection and color leaching. :)
Carly -
I can't speak to your specific situation as I'm not an expert, but I've got a full sleeve and all I've ever done as far as healing is kept it nice and clean with a mild soap, and applied the most chemical free lotion I can find when it gets noticeably dry and/or "peely". I use Lubriderm Extra Sensitive, which is dye- and fragrance-free, as well as containing no other chemical additives.
I'm not sure why your tattoo would still be warm that long after getting it - all of my tattoos have been done after being diagnosed, and I've never experienced anything quite like that. However, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Email your artist to see if he has any advice or thoughts about it, and if say another week goes by and it's still a problem, I'd go to a doctor. Potential infection is nothing to take lightly.
That being said, I suggest a very mild lotion like the one I mentioned, and nothing else. I'm a big fan of doing as little as possible when healing a tattoo aside from keeping it clean, and it's worked very well for me.
This is not my first tattoo or anything but since the last one was so many moons before being D.I think I am being a bit paranoid. It is a large starts on the foot up to under the knee. I have a fairly solid/shaded black part which is still very warm.(It's 10 days old) Here's my question can I use Dermal Therapy Extra Strength Body Lotion on it? Or just use Aveeno? I ran out of A & D Ointment. I do not live near the artist and he will be returning in a few months. Help ! I have been cleaning it and wearing shorts when I am home. I have started to hold cold pop cans on it to help with the heat.
getting my medical alert tattoo this Saturday, it's not my first tattoo but it's still exciting! I got the sketch yesterday and I love it, will post pics!
If you have the pic on your drive you click on the second little icon doo-dad above the window, immediately to the right of where it says "link" and it will prompt you to either upload a photo or to use the tab to put a link to an online photo! Good luck w/ your inking!

DataRPM Raises $5.1M for Business Intelligence with NLP
Derrick Harris of GigaOM reports, "DataRPM, a Fairfax, Va.-based startup that has built a business intelligence product based on search engine technology, has raised a $5.1 million Series A round of venture capital. InterWest Partners led the round, which follows up on a $250,000 seed round the company raised in April. As we explained in a July post about an 'askathon' (essentially, a business intelligence hackathon) the company was hosting, DataRPM is based on search technologies and tries to deliver a search-like experience. Data is indexed rather than modeled, and users perform queries in a search bar using natural language." Read more

HOUSTON -- U.S.-listed shares of BP declined 1.5% on Monday on the verge of a civil trial for its role in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. Ahead of the trial, scheduled to open Monday in New Orleans, federal and state officials were said to be readying a settlement offer worth $16 billion, according to media reports.
Fines under the Clean Water Act would be capped at $6 billion, and BP would also pay $9 billion in damages to natural resources and for the cost of restoration. The remaining $1 billion would be set aside for a fund to cover extra expenses if more environmental damage were to develop.

Professional Development
Franklin County Children Services prides itself on hiring and retaining highly qualified professional and support staff to carry out its mission and embrace its guiding principles. The agency has developed clear guidelines and training requirements for all staff that exceed the standards established by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Ohio Revised Code for public children services agencies.
Although child welfare professionals at public agencies are not required to be licensed, about one-third of the child welfare caseworkers, child welfare supervisors and agency managers who are eligible maintain a current license as licensed independent social workers, licensed social workers, licensed professional counselors, and licensed professional clinical counselors. All new employees participate in an initial introduction and orientation, and are required to take training and professional development tailored to their job needs, and cultural competency offerings to prepare them to work with the diverse populations served.
Mandated Reporter Training
FCCS offers training for professionals who are mandated to report abuse or neglect at its 855 W. Mound St. office each quarter. This four-hour training covers how to make a referral, what will happen after the referral is made, and what services are available to children and families. Some professionals are mandated by law to report child abuse and neglect. These mandated reporters include teachers, daycare staff, social workers, school personnel, physicians, dentists, nurses, psychologists, coroners and attorneys. Training certificates with social work provider hours will be available for those who attend the entire session. Click here for the 2014 mandated reporter training brochure. FCCS will provide training at your facility for groups of 15 - 40 participants. For more information or questions about mandated reporter training email here.
Ohio Child Welfare Training Program
Children Services has a multifaceted training and development program that supports the mission of the agency and meets employees' identified needs. Developmental and training opportunities consist of a combination of programs offered by the Ohio Child Welfare Training Program (OCWTP), agency-sponsored programs/events and training provided by other entities. The OCWTP is a comprehensive, competency-based, in-service training system for child welfare staff, managers and foster/adoptive families within Ohio's 88 county public children services agencies and is the major source of training for staff. The OCWTP for the central Ohio area is located at and managed by Franklin County Children Services. For general parenting classes, please contact Hands on Central Ohio or see Community Resources for other providers.
Staff Retention
The agency supports personnel development and academic advancement and retains staff with strong educational credentials through several programs such as tuition reimbursement, fee waiver programs and the College Loan Repayment Policy. Currently, there are more than 150 Children Services staff who have advanced degrees. The agency promotes excellence in the credentials and training of staff and consistently provides coaching and leadership development opportunities.

St. Martin's Griffin, a division of St. Martin's Press
256 Pages
Erotic Romance; Contemporary
Rating: 4 Cups
Kara Spencer does not feel like the news columnist she is. As a writer of sexual topics, sometimes she feels as if she does not have the correct life to write about the topics she does.
Jeremy "J.M." Smith is a Tantric Sex expert who knows all about control. When he meets Kara on a plane, he sets out to seduce her, never expecting to be the one who loses control.
Kara is going to a convention where she will interview some author about tantric sex, something she does not feel is a true form of sex. When she finds herself seeing the one night stand and then realizing he is the author she is interviewing, Kara begins to feel as if her life is spiraling out of control. Jeremy gets her to let loose a little and live out some of her ultimate fantasies. But when their time is up, can he prove that sometimes the fantasy does not have to end that it can become a reality?
Bliss is a hot book that will have you panting for more. The fantasies that Kara and J.M. play out are guilty pleasures that will leave you breathless. I think Opal Carew definitely knows what she is writing about, and by playing on these fantasies she is calling to all of our own fantasies that we have stored in our own world. If you like steamy sex, hot men, steamy sex, hot women, steamy sex, multiple partners, steamy sex, role playing, and steamy sex then you will want to read this hot novel! Oh…did I mention the steamy sex?
Caution: This tale contains scenes of m/m/f, m/m/m/m/f, anal play, and anal sex.

Editor's note: Michael Norton is an associate professor at Harvard Business School. Elizabeth Dunn is a professor at the University of British Columbia. They are co-authors of the forthcoming book, "Happy Money: The Science of Spending" (Simon & Schuster). Norton spoke at TEDxCambridge. TED is a nonprofit organization dedicated to "Ideas worth spreading," which it makes available through talks posted on its website.
(CNN) -- What would you do if the world handed you a million dollars right now? Maybe you received an inheritance, maybe you won the lottery, maybe you found a briefcase by the side of the road filled with unmarked bills.
Our guess is that many of the first things that come to mind involve driving to a store, or going online, and buying stuff. And not just some stuff -- a lot of stuff. Very expensive stuff. As soon as we start thinking about money, we can't help but start thinking about all the lovely things we'd buy for ourselves with the money.
There's nothing wrong with buying things for yourself. The problem is that there isn't much right with doing this, either. Many of the major purchases that we make -- like fancy cars and big houses -- don't really make us much happier. When you use your money to buy stuff for yourself, you're leaving happiness on the table.
But there's a solution: Give it away. Perhaps when you thought about what you'd do with a million bucks, a tiny voice in the back of your head meekly said, "And I'd give some to charity" -- before being drowned out by a cacophony of desires to refurnish your house and reinvigorate your wardrobe.
TED.com: The antidote to apathy
Our research conducted over the last decade suggests that you should listen more closely, and more often, to that little voice. Why? Because giving your money to others instead of spending it on yourself provides a bigger happiness bang for your buck.
In one experiment, we gave people $5 in the morning and told them to spend it by that evening -- either on something for themselves, or something for someone else.
When we called them that evening, those who spent on themselves were just as happy as they were before getting the cash.
Those who spent it on others? They bought presents for family members, or gave money to the homeless -- and were happier than those who spent on themselves. We see this pattern time and time again, nearly everywhere we've looked in the world, in countries ranging from Canada to Uganda to India to South Africa: Spending money on other people is linked to happiness.
TED.com: 7 rules for making more happiness
It doesn't take a lot of giving to get a lot of happiness. The benefits of giving can be had for mere dollars a day. So although we can't all take Warren Buffett's "millionaire's pledge" -- where the richest of the rich pledge to give away at least 50% of their wealth -- we can commit to giving more to others than we do now.
Is there anything in your everyday life that costs $5 that you might be able to sacrifice just once a week? You might be holding a cup of it in your hand right now: coffee.
Next time you're craving that caffeine fix, think about subbing in the needs of another person for your mocha cookie-crumble frappuccino. You'll miss the coffee a little bit, sure -- but the payoffs for your overall happiness make it worth it.

The Gauntlet: Studio Tour & Portfolio Review
The Gauntlet is a month-long event that allows student members to receive valuable portfolio feedback and visit Queen City design studios.
|Student Non-Member
|Student Member
Will you dare run The Gauntlet?
Be forewarned: The Gauntlet is not for the faint of heart. The Gauntlet is not for the thin-skinned. The Gauntlet is not for proponents of the status quo.
The Gauntlet is, however, for a design student looking to get his or her portfolio in tip-top shape before that first job interview. This month-long event also kills two birds with one stone; students receive valuable feedback on their portfolios from industry veterans while visiting venerable local design studios in the process.
The Gauntlet: Studio Tour and Portfolio Review represents a new format for our annual spring event geared toward our student members. Instead of cramming multiple reviews with multiple reviewers into one day, groups of students will visit a different participating Charlotte design studio each Friday afternoon during the month of March to get their work critiqued by different sets of seasoned eyes.
As part of the visit, each participating studio will give a tour of their facilities and offer lessons on what students should expect after graduation. In other words, this practice gauntlet will help you prepare for the true gauntlet: the real business world.
The event kicks off on Friday, March 7, 2014 at 1 pm. Participating studios include:

All-Purpose/Utility Knives
I knew razor blades could be produced with this sharp an edge ... but kitchen knives? Well, Victorinox did it on that little paring knife.
The knife is very sharp and slices through vegetables like it is butter!
This is a good little paring knife! The blade could be a slightly bit thicker.
This is a good knife and it does it's job!
I find this knife sharp and light. It is easy to use with a well shaped blade which is good for scooping whatever you're chopping into the pan. I like the feel of it in use. The design is hand friendly and it seems to promise a long life. The blade so far has retained its edge but because I have not been using it all that long I don't know yet how often it will need to be sharpened.
I love the knives and will probably order more soon.
The item is great.
This is excellent for cutting vegetables.

CHICAGO – Living in a food-insecure household during pregnancy may increase the odds of greater weight gain and pregnancy complications, particularly gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), according to a new study published in the May issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Household food insecurity, the inability to obtain nutritious and safe foods in socially acceptable ways, is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for many poor health outcomes among women.
Prior studies have demonstrated that paradoxically, women living in food insecure households report higher rates of overweight and related health complications. "The present study was conducted to estimate the association between household food insecurity status and maternal health during pregnancy, when changes in both body weight and overall health can be dramatic," according to Barbara A. Laraia, PhD, MPH, RD, and co-investigators. "The results suggest that the experience of living in a food insecure household was associated with metabolic health indicators during pregnancy. Not only was living in a food insecure household associated with severe pregravid obesity—a condition that broadly predisposes women to adverse pregnancy outcomes—but also with greater gestational weight gain and gestational diabetes mellitus."
Researchers from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the US Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, Washington, DC, used data from the Pregnancy, Infection and Nutrition prospective cohort study—810 pregnant women with incomes less than 400% of the income/poverty ratio were followed through their pregnancies. This household income restriction allowed better comparison among households that might have food insecurity due to financial and material constraints. In this group, 76% were from fully food secure, 14% were from marginally food secure, and 10% were from food insecure households.
A significant finding that emerged is the association between household food insecurity and development of GDM. The authors observed that the combined group of women from marginally secure and insecure food households had more than twice the odds of developing GDM than women in food secure households, suggesting that women living in a household with any level of food insecurity may be at risk. This is an important public health finding given that GDM has implications for both the fetus (macrosomia or excessive birth weight) as well as the mother (a significant precursor to type II diabetes later in life).
Overall, women from marginally food secure and food insecure households were similar with regard to most demographic, socioeconomic and weight status variables assessed in this study. Compared to women from food secure households, women from marginally secure and food insecure households were significantly more likely to be black, to be single, have fewer years of education, less income and be either overweight or severely obese.
The authors recommend continuation of public health efforts to provide adequate funding and outreach to those in need and advocate population-based programs and policies designed to ensure that pregnant women have access to high-quality, nutritious food.
"Household food insecurity is associated with self-reported pregravid weight status, gestational weight gain and pregnancy complications" by Barbara A. Laraia, PhD, MPH, RD; Anna Maria Siega-Riz, PhD, RD; and Craig Gundersen, PhD, appears in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, Volume 110, Issue 5 (May 2010) published by Elsevier.

I am quickly learning nothing happens in Washington without spurring controversy to varying degrees. So I guess it should be of no surprise that the regulators risk-retention proposed rule would be any different.
The proposal would require sponsors of asset-backed securities to retain at least 5 percent of the credit risk of the assets underlying the securities and would not permit sponsors to transfer or hedge that credit risk. That is not really the controversial part.
As required by the act, the proposal includes descriptions of loans that would not be subject to these requirements, including asset-backed securities that are collateralized exclusively by residential mortgages that qualify as qualified residential mortgages. This is the controversial part: The proposal defines QRMs, more or less, as being of high credit quality and where a borrower provides a 20 percent down payment on a home purchase.
In May, several senators sent a letter to the regulators stating that the QRM provision in the Dodd-Frank Act was intended to create a broad exemption for historically safe mortgage products and that the proposed legislation goes beyond the intent and language of the statute by imposing unnecessarily tight down-payment restrictions.
Shortly thereafter, more than 100 representatives signed and sent a letter to the regulators saying mortgage guarantee insurance should be one of the factors included in the QRM definition, as specified in the Dodd-Frank Act, but as the proposal stands, it is not.
Testifying in April on behalf of American Bankers Association before the Senate Banking Committee, Tommy Whittaker, president and CEO of The Farmers Bank in Portland, Tenn., said, We have concerns that this will drive community banks from mortgage lending and shut many borrowers out of the credit market entirely.
Similarly, in a recent conference call with media, the Independent Community Bankers of America said it has concerns regarding having a minimum down payment of 20 percent because such a high down-payment requirement will be particularly hard for qualified first-time and lower-income borrowers to meet.
Comments on the proposal were originally due by June 10. One can only assume the letters and comments mentioned above prompted the regulators to extend the comment period to Aug. 1. Now that the time for comments has ended, one can only wonder if the regulators will adjust this proposal as they did with interchange fees.

I'm betting no real man in the history of marriage has ever actually warbled, ''Honey, I'm home!'' Such a greeting is reserved for old TV shows, shorthand for a bygone way of family life in which Dad wore a hat and went to work, Mom wore an apron and stayed at home, and the boundaries between ''good'' and ''bad,'' ''moral'' and ''immoral,'' were marked with big signposts and equally serious consequences. How we read that shorthand, though, has changed many times over since Eisenhower sat in the White House. We '90s viewers watch our honey-I'm-home shows, rerun for eternity on cable, with tender amusement or nostalgia, ruefully conscious of the huge societal gaps between idealized '50s and '60s family life and actual, entropic contemporary existence.
With such an ironic worldview, it's easy to decide we're lucky to be rid of the conformist, Wonder-bread universe of Father Knows Best, The Donna Reed Show, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Happy Days (a kitschy '70s homage to the '50s), and Pleasantville. That title refers to a fictional '50s American town and TV show rerun, for eternity, on cable that's the balm of David (Tobey Maguire), a mournful '90s teen who watches and re-watches, glassy-eyed, to tune out the pain of his own broken family (divorced Mom and Dad argue bitterly on the phone). David's twin sister, Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon), meanwhile, takes the fast-girl route to denial she's a slut-in-training.
Fighting over the TV remote control one night, the two receive a visit from a mysterious repairman (Don Knotts) who replaces the clicker with another, a gizmo that throws the kids into Pleasantville. Suddenly, David and Jennifer are called Bud and Mary Sue, enrolled in a high school full of classmates who have never gone All the Way or missed a basketball shot. Mom (Joan Allen) wears a dress and a Stepford smile in the kitchen. Dad (William H. Macy) sings out, ''Honey, I'm home!'' The world is in black and white.
Jennifer wants to get the heck out immediately. ''We're in Nerdville!'' she complains. But at first David is charmed by the refreshing security of the setup and anxious not to upset the Pleasantville universe with unprogrammed actions. ''Are we in that episode?'' he marvels. (The Ice Storm's Maguire, with his sweet, smart-kid grin, is an excellent marveler.) Still, it's not long before the twins start tampering with the show's plotlines, encouraging independent thought, and provoking strange new emotions in townspeople who had never known fire (the local brigade exists to rescue cats from trees) or rain (the wet mystery scares them) or sex. And with each expression of passion, someone or something bursts into telltale color: First a rose. Then an apple. Then lips (the symbolism ain't subtle). Then a car, a book, a whole person, until most of the town is inflamed while those dullards angry about change (led by the late J.T. Walsh, in his last role) are stuck in monochrome monotony.
Pleasantville is ultramodern and beautiful a paean to the sophistication of computer technology, which can wipe a tear from a black-and-white cheek and replace it with peachy skin tone. But technical elegance and fine performances mask the shallowness of a story as simpleminded as the '50s TV to which it condescends; certainly it's got none of the depth, poignance, and brilliance of The Truman Show, the recent TV-is-stifling drama that immediately comes to mind.
Writer-director Gary Ross has explored ''magical comedy'' before. He wrote Big, in which a boy lives in a man's body, and Dave, in which a regular nobody lives in the White House and passes as President of the United States; both those high-concept premises floated on charm. Even higher in concept but mired in banality, this Pleasantville most clearly calls to mind another Pleasantville, the real New York town that's home to Reader's Digest, purveyor of stories and articles that still look to the '50s for moral inspiration. In those pages condensed, of course this didactic but unenlightening comedy might appear in different form, as a lightweight literary sketch, under the (modified) old Digest banner ''My Most Forgettable Characters.''

Spirits come and Spirits go....The Revolution
by Bob Keller
posted Aug 30 2011 1:42PM
It's a coincidence that we have 2 birthdays on the same day, from the same band, both turning the same age. Happy B'day to
Quicksilver Messenger Service
drummer Greg Elmore and guitarist-singer Gary Duncan..both turn 65 this saturday. Quicksilver was always one of my favorite bands from the SF Ballroom era. The guys in Quicksilver were really an important part of the Haight-Ashbury community. They hung out at 1090 Page Street, along with the
Albin Brothers
who would form Big Brother. A band called Sopwith Camel also hung out there and it was quite a scene. The Albin Brothers inherited this huge rooming house, originally intended for Irish immigrants. Music jams were held all the time in the spacious basement. This house was, along with the Deads house at 710 Ashbury, ground zero for the communal music lifestyle that would define San Francisco in the mid 60s. Spirits that left us on this date include Woody Gutherie in 1967. Woody, in my opinion, was the origianl troubador. Spreading his truth with his guitar, riding the rails and brushing up against America. "This Land Is Your Land"..He sang about all of it, the good, the bad and the ugly. No wonder Dylan tried to channel his spirit, and in the end, pulled it off. Woody died of Huntington's chorea at age 52. His son Arlo continues the tradition. Another passing was that of Alan Blind Owl Wilson, co-founder of the band Canned Heat. Drug overdose at the age of 27. What is it about the age 27? Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and a dozen others. Spirits come and Spirits go. Be at the Revolution this weekend. Saturday 7-10am. You'll re-connect with some special spirits from the past. Peace Out

Thanks for remembering Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson of Canned Heat! In my research into his life and music I have found that some suggest the statistical spike for artist/musician deaths at that age is an astrological phenomenon known as the "Saturn Return". Who knows whether this is true, of course. Fans of Canned Heat may wish to check out the tribute website established in Wilson's honor, by his family. It's at http://AlanWilsonCannedHeat.com, and features rare photos, video links, and lots of great information! Thanks again for including a mention of Alan in your post, and don't forget to boogie!

Douglas Adams, a tall, creative, sometimes depressive writer of science fiction humor, died in 2001 after working out in Montecito, Calif. So great was his following that, two weeks after his death, on May 25, his fans organized a tribute called Towel Day that's celebrated every year all around the world, but not to my knowledge here. We need to change that.
Adams' most well known work is "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." He got the idea while lying drunk in a field in Austria, looking up at the stars and holding a copy of "A Hitchhiker's Guide to Europe," and turned it into a radio series for BBC Radio 4 that ran in 1978.
The book, the first of five in Adams' "trilogy," begins with the destruction of the Earth by Vogons, an officious, unpleasant, sluglike race who serve as the galaxy's bureaucrats, for an intergalactic highway construction project. Vogons write terrible poetry, the third worst in the galaxy. As the Guide says: "On no account should you allow a Vogon to read poetry at you."
The Guide itself is described thus: "In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitch Hiker's Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom … it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects. First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words Don't Panic inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover."
So why Towel Day? Well, the Guide says: "A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have." Included in the list of its many uses is to "avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you)."
"More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value." What every non-hitchhiker "will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds … and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with."
Adams was a brilliant humorist who said he got his best ideas sitting in the bathtub. He had to be pressed, sometimes exceedingly, to finish work.
"I love deadlines," he said. "I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."
He was also a technology geek, an ardent environmentalist, and a champion of endangered species.
If you haven't read his books, you're in for a treat. And if you haven't heard of Towel Day, just log on to towelday.org to see the rather breathtaking list of the celebrations all around the world, many of which include Vogon poetry slams. In Bali, Indonesia, for example, carrying a towel will get you a free Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster drink. In Finland there is the Most Evil Laughter competition. In France there is the Towel Olympics.
If you're a novice, it helps to know that a Babel fish fits in your ear and translates what you hear, 42 was the answer given by the computer Deep Thought when asked what the ultimate meaning of life is, and Ford Prefect was both a character in the book and a model of car you could buy in England and Australia. My cousin in Brisbane still has one.
So, next Sunday I'll be carrying my towel with Don't Panic written on it and will be eager to hear what ideas you might have for a recurring local celebration. Maybe you'll get some ideas from what others are doing, although Adams did say, "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."Tags: Bill Mego, Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Towel Day

Fire damages Palos Park home
Firefighters are investigating the cause of a fire that started in an attached garage Wednesday morning at a home in the 12300 block of Mohawk Road in Palos Park.
No one was home at the time, but a passer-by alerted the fire department after seeing smoke coming from the residence, Palos Fire Protection District Fire Chief Steve Carr said.
Firefighters found light to medium smoke coming from the eaves and vent and had to force their way into the L-shaped ranch home. The fire quickly spread to the attic and was contained to the garage and attic, Carr said.
The living area had smoke and water damage and is temporarily uninhabitable.
"A good percentage of their personal belongings were salvaged," Carr said. "The temperature was not a friend to firefighters today, but it's better than freezing."

The committee on suffrage and electoral reforms of the House of Representatives recently approved a bill prohibiting political dynasties. Titled "Anti-Political Dynasty Act," the bill seeks to enforce Art. II, Sec. 28 of the Constitution: "The State shall guarantee equal opportunities for public service and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law."
