Lamy Safari Fountain Pen
An excellent pen
I love these pens. I have several of them. They write smoothly, are comfortable to hold, and they're unpretentiously stylish. An excellent value for the price.

Lamy Safari fountain pen
So excited to finally have my own fountain pen. It truly lives up to my expectations in terms of design and functionality. I love the way it glides and gives such clean and smooth write! This was my birthday gift to myself. Happy Birthday to me!

Would not recommend
I have made several purchases on Levenger and up until now have always been exceedingly pleased. This pen arrived with a 90% dried cartridge the 10% that was left quickly leaked over my hands and clothes. I did not care for the feel of the material and in frustration actually threw out the pen and cartridges shortly after receiving it. While I do like Levenger this purchase has soured my experience greatly.

Good value for a reliable pen
I mostly use vintage pens with gold nibs, but needed a less valuable pen to use at work. I bought the fine nib, but honestly this writes more like a medium nib. It doesn't flex much but is still comfortable to write with. I've bought some cheap Pelikan pens (the Pelikano) with stainless nibs and they are utterly dreadful--they can't be started and cannot be relied upon. The Lamy is a bit more money but far more reliable. Also, as a woman, I appreciate the clip, which can be fastened to my lanyard (I don't always have pockets for a pen). I bought the converter, but I doubt it doesn't hold as much ink as the refill--so I may be buying refills in the future. Overall, this pen is a great value for the money. I wish they offered this with an extra-fine nib, though.

Best purchase for new fountainpen owner.
This is the first pen I ever bought. It was beautiful, it wrote well, but like other people have probably said, the nib isn't correct. I find it to be more than just a medium. The quality was great though, but there was a few hiccups getting started. I settled in to the pen and now I love it. I wish it had a metalic cousin that I could get my hands on.

Great Pen
Outstanding pen that writes with ease. The cartridges work well and I'm looking forward to using the ink I just received to use in business.
September 28, 2013
This pen was yet another gift to me (my friends & family know and understand my obsession with the best writing utensils out there) and this one, the Lamy safari, is a great deal for the price. I do, however, have two minor issues with this pen. First, the cartridges. Finding a match in any store thus far is proving to be a real feat. I have no problem ordering refills online, though. Second, the small gasket that 'seals' the pen is getting a bit loose- I use this pen quite a lot. Overall, out of all the fountain pens I've owned & used, this one is always in my pocket.
June 24, 2012
LOVE these pens!
I tried a Lamy Safari several years ago (with an extra fine tip) and I got hooked. My friends joke with me for collecting $30 fountain pens instead of the expensive ones, but these write better than my more expensive fountain pens. Even my beloved Levenger and Acmes! Extra fine tip, fine tip, medium tip - I've never had a single problem with them and I love having my "choice of fashion colors" when I'm in a fountain pen mood. I dislike the fact that I haven't found a cartridge that fits (Lamy brand excluded of course), but that's what the converter is for. If I could only fill the pens without making a mess, life with the Safari would be perfect!
March 24, 2012
A Pen That Writes!
At last I have a fountain pen that actually works. I've wanted to switch to a fountain pen for years, as they're greener, but I could never get a smooth flow of ink with the previous pens I've purchased from Levenger even though some of them cost three times as much as this Lamy. I'm thrilled. True, it's not the prettiest pen, but that's really immaterial.
December 15, 2011
Great pen, but
I read a review which said the find point was thick so I ordered a fine point instead of my usual medium. My opinion is that the fine is just that, fine! I should have listened to my intuition. That said, I think it is an excellent product and as advertised. It writes very nicely and doesn't dry out if you don't cap it immediately. Considering the price I think the quality is excellent, sometimes you do get more than you pay for! Style is appropriate but nothing to get excited about which I why I only gave it 4 stars there. Again, the value is great. I will order a medium nib when I can but in the meantime this is a great pen and I will use it for times when a medium point is just too much.

Meet Bailey
Active and athletic Bailey Moody complained of knee pain in March 2012. After several doctors' visits and a biopsy, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive and rare bone cancer, in her knee. Now 12 and cancer free, Bailey has returned to volleyball, tennis and basketball with the help of the Children's Orthotics and Prosthetics Program and rehabilitation services.
Meet Diego
When Diego was born, his mother, Brenda, knew he would face a frightening health battle. Her brother and uncle had struggled with the health effects of hemophilia, and her newborn was diagnosed with hemophilia A, the most severe type. But while her other family members lost their fight with the disease, Diego has proven resilient with the help of the loving care of our Aflac Cancer Center.
Meet Jared
When he was 5 months old, Anitra Palmer-Dawkins received the devastating news that her son, Jared, had sickle cell disease. After sickle cell complications caused a stroke, Jared underwent grueling therapy for two months to regain his strength—one of many challenges he has faced. Now 15, Jared struggles with the pain his sickle cell causes, but is a spirited practical joker who enjoys spending time with friends and family. Through it all, the team at Children's has supported Jared and Anitra.
Meet Sutton
At just 5 days old, Sutton's parents, Brittany and Jeff, received the call from their pediatrician: their daughter had cystic fibrosis (CF). While there is no cure for CF, the Burnetts remain hopeful, and Children's will be with them every step of the way.

When I was 7year old, we sat in the bathroom during Hurricane Alicia. I was living in Houston with my parents and very tiny sister, who was only 2 at the time, sleeping quietly in the safest area of the house: under the bathroom sink.
My parents listened to the weather on a battery powered radio while the walls shook and tornadoes clamored around the neighborhood. We walked in to the eye of the storm where we found our fence down the street at our neighbor's house, ten doors down.
At the time I didn't realize my parents pissed off someone holy. I didn't know God was a revenge sort of guy and that my mom probably chewed the wafer at Communion that week so we were doomed to lose a fence and all our backyard toys.

Two of my best girlfriends and I take an annual Moms/Kids camping trip. We started this at a "close-ish" park in 2009 with a toddler and a few pre-schoolers.

Most people who live in poverty or the middle class do not believe that rich people have 'problems.' And if they do, their problems are related to being privileged and having preferences, which is often accurate (i.e. where will be buy our second home?, I hope I get accepted into the club, et cetera). So from the perspective of the poor and middle class, it is difficult to empathize or sympathize with the rich or wealthy because they themselves are struggling with trying to feed their family and not be homeless. Fair enough.
In an effort to connect us all in a more human way, let's look at the types of problems the rich and wealthy have – heck, let's even throw in celebrities since their reputation serves as a form of currency.
Rich people struggle with relationships, self-esteem, social skills, acceptance, love, depression, anger, fear, power, control, respect and feelings of being unworthy. Wait, that sounds like the same problems that poor and middle class people have!
Are you surprised? Well if you are, you are not alone. Many people forget, even the rich and wealthy, that we all are human and struggle with the same feelings, needs, and desires. These struggles just look different depending on our circumstances but trust me, the feelings are still the same.
Now, before you type that ridiculous email to me or leave a comment about my defense of the rich – stop. I am far from defending the rich – or poor for that matter – or making excuses for either group. There are plenty of wealthy, poor and middle class people alike who are as dumb as a doorknob and lazier than a sloth. Hell, there are at least three in my family.
While it is true that the rich have more than their basic needs met, their wealth does not shield them from the conflicts and challenges of life and being human. Their wealth simply allows them to either run from their problems (literally and figuratively) or access resources that could help them address their issues.
Look, I have worked with plenty of new and old money across cultures as well as people who are poor or from the middle class, and I can honestly say that the problems experienced by each group is six in one hand and half a dozen in another.
On the one hand, when someone is unable to have their basic needs met like food, housing and medical, they experience a stress that is choking or at the very least suffocating. Apathy becomes more likely to set in and difficult to recover from. In the end, being able to create the life you want for yourself or family becomes a luxury because you are trying to survive.
On the other hand, when someone has tons of money, they are often faced with suffocation and apathy of a different kind – connection. Connection to the rest of the world, the bigger world, becomes cut off and far removed unless they make a concerted effort to remain connected. This becomes harder to do over time for a number of fairly legitimate reasons. After a while, they begin to feel like they only matter insomuch as they are able and willing to financially support different causes and investments. Hence the phrases, "It's lonely at the top" and "Your real friends are the ones who liked you when you had nothing."
The point I am trying to make is that in the end, it does not matter if you are rich or poor; it's all cornflakes. Money is just a tool; nothing more nothing less. Regardless of race, gender, culture or orientation, we wonder the same thing: "Do you see me? Do I matter to you? Are you proud of me? Did I make a difference?" We feel the same pain, rejection, love, passion, anger, fear, loneliness, guilt and shame. What matters in this lifetime is how you treated yourself/other people and the impact you made on humanity (however big or small). This is where the playing field is leveled: you can do exceedingly well in those three areas regardless of your socioeconomic status.
There is a saying that old people who give away their money and become nicer right before they die do so either because they want to get in good with God or screw their family. If that is true, there are going to be some really disappointed dead people. From what I understand, you can't buy your way into heaven or buy or get a cooler seat in hell; and from what I hear, they do not give credit for pain or suffering either. As for screwing your family, why do you care? You're dead. If you're going to give your money away, do it because 1. it's the right thing to do, 2. you really believe in the cause or 3. you've seen the err of your ways and want to make it right. I'm sure God gives credit for that.
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other [therefore] have compassion for the rich and poor alike, some suffer too much and others not enough." ~ Mother Theresa

Post subject: Animal rights
Being that this is a topic which I'm getting more and more involved in, I'd be interested in hearing what other forum members think about it. Should animals have rights? If so, what rights should animals have? If they have rights, are those rights being violated in today's world? If so, what do we do about it?
Judging by the above questions, I think it's easy to guess my position. So, speak your minds! ^_^ I'm expecting some philosophy from Nem at the least.

What animals?
What rights?
Should an ant have the same rights as a gorilla?
It's an interesting subject that probably needs a more in-depth OP than yours, setting out your position for debate rather than just asking questions.

Good point. Let me do that now, then!
I think that any animal with the ability to feel pain has the right to not feel pain unnecessarily. I think such animals have a right to freedom from slavery and killing.
I think this for the same reason that I think humans have such rights. I don't think it's our intelligence that gives us these rights. (I'm working under the assumption that human beings have these rights, and I know that's not a universal assumption. Feel free to argue it.) I think it's sensible to say that if you can feel pain, you shouldn't have to feel it unnecessarily, no matter what you look like.
Now, there's the matter of what 'unnecessary' means here. All of the industries that use animals, be they for food, clothing, even science (though that's a whole 'nother issue) can survive perfectly fine without animals. There's enough nutrition and materials to be had from plants and synthetic materials that we really don't need to be using animals the way we do. Therefore, I think eating meat, wearing leather and similar such things are immoral.
To answer your last question, according to the above logic an ant should not have the same rights as a gorilla, because current science says that insects do not feel pain, as far as I understand. That said, I think being alive gives you the right to not have your life ended unnecessarily, and that's a right I would attribute to the ant.

I'll debate higher-level creatures later, but I disagree with you to an extent, Tam. I will contest that I had every right to kill the 15 hornets that found their way into my living room because I and my four roommates were at risk for bodily harm. Similarly, I feel like pests that are doing property damage, like termites eating the foundation of my house, are eligible for eradication.
Japanese beetles eating my garden will also feel the wrath of my heel--I can't be bothered to catch them in a jar, then release them into a forest somewhere. Increasing the population unnaturally can ultimately be destructive. (So, the Japanese beetle population rises dramatically in the forest. They eat more vegetation than they should, causing a food shortage not only for the beetles but also for the deer. The plants would also die because they are stripped too much. In the end, the forest as an ecosystem could nearly die. It would right itself later, but almost every population would be genetically bottlenecked, making them that much more susceptible to disease and inbreeding.)
That being said, I do NOT think that you should go out into the forest, find a hornets' nest and destroy it, nor did I agree with the widespread use of pesticide in parks during the West Nile scare in America. Killing insects in their natural habitat can wreak havoc on an ecosystem and create anomalies that could potentially be more destructive than before. (Like mosquitoes resistant to pesticide. This strain would have surfaced eventually...but we moved it along very, very rapidly.)
My rule of thumb is to respect each others' homes. If the bugs are in my home uninvited, they're gone. When I'm in their home, I take care to respect them.

You aren't disagreeing with me too much, Mane... =) I, too, kill bugs every so often. If I have a way of getting rid of them without killing them, I'll prefer that, but if they're posing a threat to my health or property, I'm okay with killing them.

Just a side note, I do use bitter melon when I can to discourage beetles from eating my garden. Just slice the gourd into thin slices, salt them, and lay them out in the sun. Not only will this release a bunch of bitter water, but you can also squeeze more water out by hand later. I'll put this into a spray bottle and spray the leaves of my plants. Be SURE to wash your herbs/vegetables before you eat them, though--otherwise, they'll be quite bitter... It doesn't discourage all of the bugs, but it does get rid of quite a few naturally. I don't do it as often as I'd like because bitter melon is sometimes hard to find.

People, and by extension animals, have no natural rights of any kind. A criminal trying to point a gun at an armed policeman has no right to life, and his protestations to the contrary will not aid him in resisting the eventual outcome of his actions. What right does a person being torn apart by a hungry beast have to be free of pain? The shark will not recognise that right. Break the universe down into its smallest components and you will not be able to point to a single particle of mercy or justice.
Then we come to the more complex arguments for morality; Kantian and utilitarian morals, things of that ken. But they proceed from a set of unjustified premises.
Kant builds upon the base assumption that there are things that everyone can agree are immoral, and goes from there in attempting to construct a justification for things being immoral. Which yields the obvious infinite loop problem.
10 Why's this immoral? Because that is immoral.
20 Why's that immoral? Because this is immoral.
30 Goto 10
Utilitarian arguments tend to follow the line that since pain matters to us that we should decry it wherever it occurs and that since pleasure matters we should maximise it wherever it occurs. But it overlooks the fact that it's not pain in general that matters to me but MY pain, or the pain of those in close social groups. Someone who is quite happily inflicting pain on others by eating them or what have you should have no concern for the utilitarian argument. It simply generalises limited concern to concern for all sentient things. So while it serves to state the position of those who already agree with it, it has no real virtue as an argument beyond the power of rhetoric.
What people mistake for natural rights are actually socially negotiated privileges. A right, properly expressed, makes no sense without the contrast of duty, a protection voluntarily assumed by the individual on behalf of the social group or society to which they belong. The degree of abstraction involved in such behaviour ultimately determines the moral heights to which the individual can aspire.
Animals however are rarely a part of such societies. Oh for sure a dog or like may gain a certain right to life by its use to society, to the love of its master by loyalty; but that doesn't generalise to all animals or even to all dogs for the relationship that the dog aspires to is to the individual or small social group, and its rights within society are purchased by that group on its behalf. Although of course to destroy out of hand has never been an advisable act what duty does an insect have to society, what duty does a cow have? In proportion to those duties lie the measure of their rights.

'Nem2'? Is there a story behind that?
I think the issue of animal rights has gotten very cloudy in recent history. organizations like PETA who value animals as equal to or above humans are way off the deep end.
I think humans have a responsibility to care for their possessions properly. Pets should be treated with care and kindness, otherwise what's the point of having them? It's really hard to draw the line, especially when one finds oneself using "having a right to X" as general terminology. I suppose I think animals have "subsistence 'rights'", for lack of a better term. People have a responsibility to care for them, and as long as they don't pose a threat they have a right to live.
I can't think of anything else beyond that animals absolutely need, which is the definition of a right. Anything else is a privilege.

Sure! Now on with things.

Utilitarian arguments ... overlook the fact that it's not pain in general that matters to me but MY pain, or the pain of those in close social groups. [They] simply generalise limited concern to concern for all sentient things.
Major premise: Tamir is a human being.
Minor premise: Tamir does not eat meat or use leather due to a belief that the pain of animals matters.
human beings act out of concern for pain which does not affect themselves or their families directly.
It is therefore an invalid generalization to claim (or imply) that humans act
out of a "limited concern" for their own well being or that of their families and friends.
Is that your only basis for rejecting utilitarian arguments regarding morality?

I'm not going to argue the finer points of this with you all, but my basic view of animal rights is that a predator-prey relationship exists naturally in nature, and we should not feel guilty for being predators. However, since we do have the ability to reason, I think we should be merciful, and therefore do not support animal cruelty.
Basically: I have no problem eating meat or wearing leather, but I do have a problem with many of the things that go on in slaughter-houses. Unfortunately, I don't think PETA arguing that you shouldn't move a turtle from a road because it "wants" to be there is helping the situation.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These invitations looked clean and minus the "clutter" that some of the other designs have had. It went great with our wedding colors, gray and peach. Allow for the printing time, which is longer than some of the other designs, but it is well worth it. I wish this design was also in the conventional postage size. This one requires extra postage, but in the scheme of expenses, it's probably quite small."
"Just realized Whitney Port designed my invites and that makes send why I love them so much. I have always loved her style. Invites are beautiful and great quality. SHipment was fast. and they customized mine just as I asked."
"We had a fall-themed wedding at a farmers' market in Washington, DC. The wedding invitations were one of the first things we picked after finding the venue. We thought these invites fit our personalities perfectly. The card stock is a really good/sturdy thickness and the colors (we went with orange and red) were a perfect match for us. We even had our cake designed to coordinate with the invites. Our wedding guests loved them as well. I got numerous compliments - especially that they were so full of color and set the tone for our fall wedding. I was especially impressed with the extremely fast turnaround times and the ease of making design adjustments. Never once did we have any problems or concerns. Using Wedding Paper Divas was the easiest part of our entire wedding planning process!"
"we chose the navy design. i was very impressed with the quality of paper, it was just thick enough to feel like a special invitation. the printing was perfect. my fiance was very particular with the wording at the bottom, we changed to "drinks, dinner, and dancing to follow" and he insisted on the oxford comma, and they edited it for us and they turned out perfect. very pleased with the quick delivery."
"I saw this design and knew it would be a perfect invitation to our court house wedding. The price was right and the invitations arrived within 2 weeks. The paper was quality card stock. Overall I was quite pleased."

Storms flood Washington's main roads
Burk's Towing in Washington pulls a stalled car from Park Avenue in Washington Friday as heavy rains flooded the area. Most major arteries in and out of Washington, including West Chestnut Street, Jefferson Avenue, Park Avenue, West Beau Street and West Maiden Street, were closed temporarily until the waters receded enough to allow traffic to move again.

Powerful storms rolled through Western Pennsylvania Friday afternoon, causing widespread flooding in Washington and other parts of the county.
Two downpours hammered the city about noon and brought nearly an inch of rain that flooded low-lying areas and prompted several main roads to be closed.
Traffic backed up across Washington as emergency responders closed major arteries – including Jefferson Avenue, West Chestnut Street, Park Avenue and East Maiden Street – and diverted traffic onto secondary roads. Catfish Creek overflowed its banks and water poured into Washington & Jefferson College's Cameron Stadium, submerging the entire artificial playing surface.
"It was like a monsoon," Washington fire Chief Linn Brookman said of the downpours.
Brookman said some buildings around the city sustained minor flooding, and at least one car had to be towed from the high water on Park Avenue. However, Washington County emergency dispatchers said they did not notice an abundance of crashes from the rain.
Brookman said his department responded to a tree down on McKinley Avenue in the city, and motorists reported a fallen tree blocking traffic on Zediker Station Road in South Strabane Township near Route 40. Other areas also received heavy downpours. The National Weather Service reported that Avella got 1.5 inches of rain.
Meanwhile, the heavy rain not only brought flooding to the streets, but also damaged the Washington city building. Mayor Brenda Davis said water from the roof or gutters overflowed and poured down some of the walls inside the building.
"We have a little mess on our hands," Davis said.
No computers or office equipment were damaged, she said, but maintenance crews had to shut power off to the building and spent much of the afternoon trying to soak up the water that poured in.
Washington and Fayette counties were under flash flood warnings in the afternoon before the National Weather Service upgraded it to a full flood warning for Friday evening.
John Darnley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, said rain showers will continue to pepper the area over the weekend.
"We're kind of in this (weather) pattern over the weekend," Darnley said. "We're just going to be in a position to see some additional rain and storms develop over the weekend."
The weather service is predicting a chance of thunderstorms today and a chance of showers on Sunday.

Anyway You Pronounce It, Jemile Weeks Is A Rising Star
In a season most A's fans are understandingly willing to forget, my suggestion to you is this: don't. While he did it in a backdrop of sub-.500 baseball, a true rising star was born in the summer of 2011. His name was Jemile Weeks, and he took flight almost from the time he first slipped on those distinctive white shoes.
And it was an improbable flight at that. Starting off, he had the unenviable task of replacing a long-time fan favorite in Mark Ellis at second base. Most baseball observers questioned whether he was ready for "The Show," based on an injury-plagued minor league career that had sidelined him for large chunks of both the 2009 and 2010 seasons. But on June 7, this scrawny little kid (5-9, 160) from Orlando, Fla. wandered into Camden Yards in Baltimore and was fitted with jersey No. 19. It's a jersey that won't be coming off for a long, long time. Exuding uncommon confidence for a rookie, A's fans instantly fell in love with the club's new leadoff hitter with the flamboyant dreadlocks. Not that the rest of the baseball world was taking notice. Opponents' broadcasters and public address announcers had a difficult time pronouncing his unique first name. Invariably, he was called Juh-MEEL instead of Juh-MILE.
Well, the mispronunciation is ancient history now, as the baseball world clearly does know who Jemile Weeks is. After all, he's one of the leading candidates for 2011 American League Rookie of the Year. Yesterday, with the help of my trusty PR assistant Adam Loberstein, I prepared a one-page fact sheet on "The Case for Jemile Weeks" and emailed it to our national media who vote on post-season honors. Some of the statistics and rankings we came across were rather staggering. Among the better, more compelling ones:
- If he had enough at-bats to qualify, Weeks' .305 batting average would be tied for seventh best in the American League.
- If he had enough at-bats to qualify, Weeks' .400 average with runners in scoring position would lead the Major Leagues.
- Weeks is the only AL rookie to lead his team in batting average with his .305 figure, the second highest by a rookie in Oakland history (Mitchell Page, .307 in 1977).
- Weeks is ranked in the Top 10 among AL rookies in 12 statistical categories. Only KC's Eric Hosmer appears in more (14).
- Weeks became the first player in Oakland history with 100 hits and 20 stolen bases in their first 80 games. In fact, no A's player had even reached 100 hits in their first 80 games. If you take Weeks' numbers and double them for a full season, he would have 200 hits and 40 stolen bases this year.
Yet what may have spoken volumes about the r-e-s-p-e-c-t that Jemile is starting to get in the league occurred Sunday in Anaheim. With two out, runners on second and third, and the score tied 5-5 in the top of the ninth inning, Mike Scioscia chose to intentionally walk Weeks to face the always-dangerous Coco Crisp. Aretha Franklin would have been proud.
As a somewhat late entry, Weeks will not be considered the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award. But I wouldn't count him out just yet. After all, baseball writers have certainly been kind to previous Oakland candidates. We've landed seven Rookie of the Year trophies since 1986—Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Walt Weiss, Ben Grieve, Bobby Crosby, Huston Street and Andrew Bailey. Mark down Monday, November 14 on your calendars. That's the day we'll find out who wins this year's award.

Any guesses on how soon Billy will trade him for shitty bullpen pitchers?
jemile weeks is my hero.
You go Jemile! Our whole family of lifelong A's fans look forward to more of your exploits next season!
Useful information. Fortunate me I found your site by chance,
and I'm stunned why this accident didn't took place in advance!
I bookmarked it.

Could you be an Ambassador for Cheshire? Find out here
Industrious by Nature
With a history of making the most from nature – be it dairy farming, salt mining, weaving silk or, more recently, refining oil – the people of Cheshire have been quietly going about their business as a county for over a thousand years.
We may be less vocal than our neighbours but in many ways that's what makes Cheshire Cheshire.
With less clamour you'll find the space to think here. And with all the benefits of a nationally central location, a well-educated population and beautiful scenery it might just be our quality of life that draws you here.
But 'Industrious by Nature' is how we describe ourselves because it reflects both sides of Cheshire. While we're patently rural we're also the largest exporter within the UK of metal products; you might also be surprised to find that Bentley and Vauxhall cars are manufactured in Cheshire and that the National Nuclear Laboratory is in Warrington.
These and more surprises is what this site is all about, uncovering why Cheshire might be right for you. So please choose a question from the areas covered below as your first step to exploring our county.

Frontier justice moved to the final frontier in Filmation's BraveStarr. Set in the 24th century, the syndicated series starred Marshal BraveStarr, lawman of the distant planet New Texas, who could call upon the powers of nature to aid his cause—strength of the bear, speed of the puma, eyes of the hawk, ears of the wolf. Operating from his HQ at Fort Kerium, BraveStarr kept the peace the only way he knew how: by kicking evil solidly in the rear.
Backed up by his Equestroid horse/sidekick Thirty-Thirty and alien Deputy Fuss, BraveStarr defended the lawful rule of Judge B.J., New Texas' magistrate. Shaman, BraveStarr's elderly advisor, occasionally appeared to set the lawman on the right moral path.
Standing squarely against the forces of good was the thoroughly evil Tex-Hex, leader of the Carrion Bunch, an outlaw gang financed by the shadowy cartel called Stampede. The baddies were out to round up the planet's supply of valuable Kerium.
BraveStarr was the last cartoon to come out of Filmation, the company that brought The Archie Show, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe to animated life. Unfortunately, BraveStarr couldn't match the success of these earlier Filmation series, riding into the sunset after 65 weekday episodes.

The two portraits hang with prominence on the wall behind the bench. Charles Fleming Keith, Nov. 22, 1781 to Sept. 15, 1865, hangs on the left and Daniel Coffee Trewhitt Jan. 29, 1823 to Jan. 4, 1891, hangs on the right.
Puckett said he believes it is important to remember the two men who helped lay the foundation of Bradley County at the very beginning.
"These two portraits will hang on permanent display in this courtroom," he said shortly after the two resolutions were read into the court minutes on Dec. 7 by local attorney Paul Dietrich.
"The honorable Judge Daniel Coffee Trewhitt's life and service in the law deserve emulation as one who with honor upheld his appointed and elected offices during the war of 1861 to 1865 and afterward during the state's reconstruction for which Judge Trewhitt deserves the recognition and accolade of all future generations for his service in pursuit of the rule of law during this perilous and tumultuous time of war, civil unrest, and governmental upheaval," he read from the resolution.
"And, as Chancellor of Hamilton County by appointment of the Military Governor of Tennessee and by his election as Circuit Court Judge he gained the approval of his contemporaries."
Charles Fleming Keith was the first circuit judge of the State of Tennessee to serve Bradley County upon its formation by the state legislature, Feb. 10, 1836 (Chapter No. 32 Private Acts of 1835-36), and the first judge of the Third Judicial Circuit of Tennessee comprising the counties of McMinn, Bradley, Hamilton, Meigs, Monroe, Roane, Rhea, Bledsoe, Marion, and Polk.
Dietrich said Keith's portrait will hang as a lasting memento of his judicial service, in the circuit court courtroom of Division I in the Bradley County Courthouse.
"The honorable Judge Keith deserves the accolades of all future generations as he deserved those of his contemporaries in the bar and in his community and throughout the State of Tennessee and the nation," he read from the resolution. "Judge Keith displayed the greatest of all judicial attributes, firmness and restraint in the face of popular outcry and public clamor, by his decision denying jurisdiction of the State of Tennessee over the Cherokee Nation."
Keith opined, "Cherokees though not a sovereign independent nation, were nevertheless a nation, so recognized by the treaties made with them — that the individuals composing this nation were not citizens or members of the states, but members of a separate community — that they had passed under the dominion of the United States, but not of the states in their separate capacity — that they were not subject to the legislation of the States, but to the Legislation of Congress [and finding that] the act of the legislature extending the jurisdiction of the States over the Indian Territory, to be unconstitutional and void."
According to information provided by Dietrich, Judge Keith's decision arose from the murder of John Walker Jr., son of a wealthy Cherokee businessman, John Walker. The younger chief called "Jack" was ambushed by two men on a spot where now stands an historical marker in present day Cleveland as he returned from a Cherokee Council at Red Clay in which Walker and others who had expressed support for a removal treaty with the United States had been denounced by followers of Cherokee Chief John Ross. The marker stands near the intersection of Stuart Road and Keith Streets.
That ruling was reversed on appeal by the Tennessee Supreme Court in the case of State of Tennessee v. Foreman in 1835.
The resolution for Judge Keith states:
"WHEREAS , Judge Keith's personal and judicial character and the quality of his service are worthy of notice and emulation,
Be it RESOLVED that the Resolution found in the minutes of the Circuit Court of McMinn County, Tennessee for Saturday, Dec. 16, 1865 at p. 445 be spread upon the minutes of the Circuit Court of Bradley County, together with this present Memorial Resolution, and
WHEREAS, Judge Keith served under three nationally prominent Tennesseans during his 34 years in office — Governors of Tennessee, Sam Houston and James K. Polk and Presidents of the United States, Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk, and
WHEREAS, Judge Keith was an exceedingly fair and honest man, and
WHEREAS, Judge Keith was a devout Episcopalian, and always opened and dismissed Court with prayer, and in charging the Jury on a case, he always asked Divine Guidance in their decision, and
WHEREAS, he died at "Elmwood" in McMinn County on Sept. 15, 1865."
Judge Keith's daughter, Louisa J. Rowland, wrote the following eulogy of her father in 1904:
"Peace hath her heroes as well as war, though no blare of trumpets proclaims her victories, and they pass unnoticed save by the recording angel who keeps watch beyond the stars. But the unobtrusive civil officer who pursues the even tenor of his way in an unsettled, transitional period of the nations' history, and with a firm and yet gentle hand, leads a turbulent, semi-civilized people to respect the law of the land, and whose every act and word of a long life has been to promote peace and kindness and to the uplifting of all those who come in contact with him, is as worthy to be commemorated in song and story, and to be crowned with a laurel wreath as unfading as the soldier who, with blood-stained sword, offers his life in defense of frontier home from marauding of hostile savages. Such was the character and influence of Charles Fleming Keith."
According to Dietrich's resolution, Daniel Coffee Trewhitt was elected in 1878 as circuit judge of the 4th Judicial Circuit of Tennessee comprising the counties of McMinn, Polk, Meigs, Bradley, Rhea, Hamilton, Marion, Sequatchie, Bledsoe, James, and a special court at Chattanooga in which he served until his death in 1891.
Trewhitt was born at Daddy's Creek in Morgan County, Tenn., to Levi Trewhitt and Harriett Lavender Trewhitt. He had 11 siblings. The family moved to Cleveland in 1836 where he attended Oak Grove Academy from 1837-1840.
He married Mary M. Winnee in 1841 and their marriage produced four children. The young Trewhitt studied the law under the tutelage of his father and his father's law partner, John C. Gaut.
He initially practiced law with his father Levi, a founding father of Cleveland, and younger brother Andrew Jackson Trewhitt. He later decided to practice law away from his father "so as to be forced to rely on his own resources," and consequently moved to Harrison in 1852 to establish his own law practice. At that time, Harrison was the county seat of Hamilton County.
Trewhitt, along with his father and brother, was a staunch Unionist in East Tennessee and very involved in the politics of the day. In 1855 and 1859 he was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives for Hamilton County.
In 1859, he was appointed to a statewide committee "On Free Negroes and Slaves." He also made many speeches in East Tennessee against secession and because he was a pointed and incisive speaker, clear and logical, and full of earnest conviction his speeches had considerable weight in shaping the opinions of the people of Hamilton County and East Tennessee.
In 1861, Trewhitt won the state senate seat for Hamilton County. However, since Tennessee seceded from the Union in 1861, and Trewhitt was a staunch Unionist, he could not, in good conscience, serve a Confederate state. He did, however, agree to serve if a new state of East Tennessee was formed. It was not; therefore he chose not to serve in the Tennessee State Senate. Instead, on Sept. 28, 1861, he volunteered for the Union Army at Camp Dick Robinson, Ky.
He was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the 2nd Regiment East Tennessee Volunteers (Infantry) and later served as assistant adjutant to Gen. James G. Spears with the rank of Captain of General Morgan's Division in Nashville.
Levi Trewhitt was arrested in December 1861 and taken to Confederate prison in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where he died during imprisonment at the Nidelet Naval Hospital in Mobile on Jan. 31, 1862. He is buried at Fort Hill Cemetery in Cleveland.
Trewhitt's first wife, Mary, died during the Civil War. He married Mary Melissa Hunter in 1865 by whom he fathered four children. In that same year, he was appointed chancellor for Hamilton County by Gov. William G. "Parson" Brownlow, an office he held until 1870 when the reconstruction government in Tennessee ended.
In 1878, he was elected Circuit Judge for the 4th Judicial Circuit of Tennessee, which included McMinn, Polk, Meigs, Bradley, Rhea, Hamilton, Marion, Sequatchie, Bledsoe, James, and a special court at Chattanooga. He served as circuit judge until his death in 1891.

The Glass Slipper Project United Way of Blair County has scheduled two Boutique Days on Saturday February 22 and March 22 from Noon until 4 p.m. at United Way of Blair County's office in the Eldorado Plaza at 5414 Sixth Avenue in Altoona.
The Glass Slipper Committee invites all Blair County students to visit the boutique and "shop" for a free gown, jewelry or accessories to make their prom an event that they will always remember. The new and gently worn gowns will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to any student enrolled in a Blair County High School. The project began five years ago as a way to help families stretch their budgets and to ensure that every student could enjoy their prom experience without regard to financial concerns. The expense of purchasing a prom gown can add additional stress to a budget that may already be strained by the extra costs associated with graduation and future educational plans.
The Committee has been collecting new and gently used gowns since Thanksgiving. Each year a wide variety of amazing gowns in a variety of sizes are collected. If you would like to donate a gown or contribute to this effort, please contact United Way of Blair County at 944-0884. Gowns may be dropped off at our office.
Additional information about the project can be found on Facebook at facebook.com/The Glass Slipper Project-Blair County and at www.unitedwayofblaircounty.org

23 Celebrities Who Played College Football
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (Miami [FL] DE)
Long before they achieved stardom in the entertainment industry, a handful of well-known celebrities dreamed of stardom on the college gridiron. Here are 23 of them.
Johnson made his way to Coral Gables by way of Bethlehem, PA, and was a member of the Hurricanes' 1991 national championship team. An injury later led to him being replaced by future Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp, but Johnson wasn't bitter. In fact, the former WWE wrestler and movie star's name now graces the name of Miami's locker room.
John Wayne (USC OT)
After breaking his collarbone in a bodysurfing accident, Wayne - real name, Marion Morrison - lost his football scholarship with the Trojans, leading him to seek out work in the local film studios. College football's loss would later be cinema's big, big gain.
Burt Reynolds (Florida State HB)
A onetime roommate of Lee Corso in Tallahassee, Reynolds' college career was derailed before it could begin in earnest; he sustained an injury in the first game of his freshman season, one that was later aggravated by a car accident. After which he left FSU and started taking acting classes at a community college near his native Palm Beach.
Ed O'Neill (Youngstown State DL)
Turns out O'Neill could relate to Al Bundy's nostalgia toward former football glory on "Married With Children." O'Neill spent two years on scholarship at Ohio University before finishing his college career at hometown Youngstown State, where he was among the first students in the school's then-fledgling theater program.
James Caan (Michigan State QB)
Caan - who later played the titular Brian Piccolo in "Brian's Song" - was a quarterback on the Spartans' freshman team before transferring back home to Hofstra. Although when asked in 1998 by MSU's Alumni Magazine what position he really played, Caan joked, "Tackling dummy."
Joel McHale (Washington TE)
Originally recruited by his hometown Huskies as a rower, the future "Community" star and host of The Soup finagled his way onto the UW football team just a few seasons removed from its 1991 national title. "I became big enough and fast enough that I was able to fool them," he told The Washington Post in 2005. "It just shows you: If you have a dream, just lie about it. Lie your way unto your dreams."
Dean Cain (Princeton DB)
Offered scholarships to 17 schools out of Santa Monica (CA) High, Cain had 22 interceptions in his Tigers career and signed as a UFA with the Buffalo Bills in 1988. A knee injury sustained in training camp ended his football career but began his acting one.
Ronald Reagan (Eureka [IL] G)
Nicknamed throughout his adult life "The Gipper" for his 1940 portrayal of Notre Dame star George Gipp in Knute Rockne: All American, Reagan didn't just excel on the gridiron at Eureka College. The future U.S president was also a cheerleader and captained the swim team.
Brian Dennehy (Columbia OL)
Dennehy's place on the Lions' football team prevented him from pursuing his true dream: Joining the Columbia Players' acting group. "In those days, the Players had an artistic definition of themselves which didn't allow a football player to be active," Dennehy later told Columbia College Today. "I remember going up there a few times and distinctly feeling unwelcome."
Matthew Fox (Columbia WR)
Had he so chosen, Fox could've drawn from his difficult college football career for method acting material while portraying Jack Shephard on "Lost." He endured a 33-game losing streak to begin his career (part of a 45-game skid overall) before helping the Lions squeak out a pair of victories as a senior to finish 2-38 over his four years.
Carl Weathers (San Diego State LB)
Unlike most of the former football players on this list, Weathers had a substantial career after college as well, spending parts of two seasons with the Oakland Raiders and three with the CFL's British Columbia Lions. Which explains why he was so cut for his star turn as Apollo Creed in the first Rocky movie in 1976.
Josh Duhamel (Minot [ND] State QB)
Relegated to backup duties with the Beavers, Duhamel realized the hard way that his pro football dreams were just that. "Two different coaches told me I didn't have it, and even today it still bothers me," Duhamel told the Chicago Tribune in 2003. "As much as I hated them at the time, it made me a better person…"
Tommy Lee Jones (Harvard OL)
An upperclassmen roommate of future U.S. vice president Al Gore, Jones was a First Team All-Ivy selection on the Crimson's 1968 undefeated team. His final collegiate game was the famous 29-29 comeback tie against archival Yale.
Mark Harmon (UCLA QB)
The son of former Michigan star halfback and 1940 Heisman Trophy winner Tom Harmon, the future "NCIS" star's career at UCLA had its fair share of memorable moments. Most notably his first game with the Bruins, during which he engineered a 20-17 upset of top-ranked and two-time defending national champion Nebraska.
John Goodman (Missouri State OL)
Goodman's football career at what was then Southwest Missouri State in the early 1970s was cut short by injury. "That was the bad news," school president Clif Smart told the school's alumni magazine earlier this year. "The good news for all of us was that he changed his major to drama." Coincidentally, Goodman later played an offensive lineman on the big screen alongside Dennis Quaid in Everybody's All-American.
Forest Whitaker (Cal Poly Pomona DT)
A debilitating back injury brought an end to Whitaker's football career, leading him to eventually transfer to USC's performing arts program. Naturally, the future Oscar winner's breakout role was as havoc-wreaking football player Charles Jefferson in 1982's Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Suge Knight (UNLV DT)
The co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records was a football star at Lynwood (CA) High School before spending two years at UNLV. During the 1987 NFL players' strike, Knight saw action in two games for the Los Angeles Rams.
Bill Cosby (Temple FB)
Cosby was by no means a football star for the Owls, but he did develop a skill that every decent fullback needs. "There is only one thing I can do, that is throw a cross-body block," he told The New York Times in 2010. "Picture perfect. I love it."
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin (North Texas FB)
Despite blowing out the ligaments in one of his knees during his senior season with the Mean Green, Austin saw action in all 11 games. Perhaps seeking something just as physical yet a little less punishing, he soon after pursued what would be a wildly successful pro wrestling career.
Bill Goldberg (Georgia DT)
A two-time All-SEC performer with the Bulldogs, Goldberg's NFL career - which he spent with three different teams from 1990-1995 - was derailed by an injury to his abdomen. It was while rehabbing the injury that he drew the attention of pro wrestlers Lex Luger and Sting, who encouraged him to join them in pro wrestling.
Ed Marinaro (Cornell RB)
No other player on this list boasts anything close to the gridiron accolades of the former "Hill Street Blues" star. Marinaro was the first running back in NCAA history to rush for 4,000 career yards and finished second to Auburn QB Pat Sullivan in the 1971 Heisman Trophy voting before spending six seasons in the NFL. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1991.
Rob Brown (Amherst WR)
Brown's first big-screen exposure was actually as a basketball player, in both 2000's Finding Forrester and 2005's Coach Carter. The year that he graduated from Amherst, in 2008, Brown finally put his gridiron experience to use on the big screen by playing Syracuse RB Ernie Davis in The Express.
Kenny Mayne (UNLV QB)
Backing up future NFL star Randall Cunningham on the Rebels' depth chart for part of the early 1980s was future ESPN anchor Kenny Mayne. A 1978 JuCo All-American at Wenatchee (WA) Valley College, Mayne later signed as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine |
For more information, go to:
http://www.pathology.ucla.edu |
Pathology is the study of the nature of disease - its cell biology and biochemistry. As a medical discipline, pathologists engage in patient care as consultants and innovators for biochemical, molecular, and cell biology tests that guide diagnostic and treatment choices. Through these roles, the UCLA Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine assists health professionals and patients in making optimal decisions based on the latest diagnostic studies, using state-of-the-art instrumentation. Each month, approximately 500,000 samples, including 10,000 biopsy and cytology cases, are analyzed to guide the care of patients in UCLA Healthcare, and through our regional and national referral network. We integrate educational activities with our clinical service, and are active in clinical and translational research programs at UCLA.
Anatomic/Clinical Pathology
Anatomic pathology is a vital part of the study and treatment of disease, and is a vast field comprised of decedent pathology, surgical pathology, and cytopathology. Surgical pathology is closely affiliated with the clinical and surgical departments as well as all the surgical specialties, internal medicine, dermatology, neurology, radiology, radiation therapy, and medical oncology. Surgical pathology is the basis for diagnosis either intra-operatively or following surgery, and the surgical pathologist is called to advise the clinician about the correct diagnosis, appropriate therapy and prognosis.

Laboratory Medicine
The UCLA Clinical Laboratory provides diagnostic testing services for the Westwood and Santa Monica sites as well as affiliated outpatient clinics and physician offices. Inpatient phlebotomy services are provided at both locations, and outpatient phlebotomy sites are located in the Westwood 100 and 200 Medical Plaza Buildings and 1245 16th St, Santa Monica, CA 90404.
The Laboratory also manages the point-of-care testing services in inpatient and hospital-based outpatient locations. For testing not performed by the laboratory, selected referral laboratories are utilized. The division also actively supports clinical research activities. We are licensed by the State of California, accredited by the College of American Pathologists, and hold CLIA certification for all testing locations. Please see individual clinical services for services specific to a given area.
More Laboratory Medicine | |
The Division of Research Services is composed of core laboratories that serve the research community with innovative instrumentation, technologies and specialized services, which are utilized by a broad segment of the UCLA biomedical community. Working with an eye toward the future, the division is laying a foundation to increase services including whole genome sequencing, creation of a state-of-the-art digital imaging core lab, novel MALDI tissue imaging services, expanding chemistry, hematology, coagulation and endocrine testing for clinical trial work and growing the immune assessment services for clinical trials.

SECUR-ED - One year on the project continues to focus on providing urban transport security for the citizens of Europe Published on: 02/05/2012, Last update: 01/09/2014
The SECUR-ED demonstration project held its first review meeting in Paris on April 27, 2012, to discuss the first year of project activities with key partners and stakeholders. The objective of the project is to provide a set of tools to improve urban transport security. Participants include all the major stakeholders from across Europe, including Police, transport operators and local authorities.
With the countdown beginning to the start of the 30th Olympic Games, focus is centered on security and transportation concerns for millions of spectators and thousands of athletes from more than 200 countries set to converge on the English capital.
Major cities like London, facing security concerns should soon be able to benefit from the SECUR-ED project which launched last year in Paris. The project marked the beginning of an unprecedented collaboration between rail and security suppliers and operators to provide large- and medium scale cities in Europe with the means to enhance urban transport security.
One year on a major challenge for the project is to define a consistent and interoperable mix of technologies focusing on security of people and infrastructures, from minor offences to major terrorism threats. It will also address the need to develop packaged modular solutions from risk assessments to complete training packages.
The different modules (made up of best practices, procedures, training, hardware and software) are selected and packaged with interoperable interfaces, ready to be integrated. These include:
- A toolkit of operational procedures aimed at identifying and managing risks
- A series of improved technical security solutions
- Video analytics to analyze threats
- Standardized information management and exchange between the various transport operators and the users
- Intelligent incident prevention and early warning systems
- Extensive training programmes for all types of stakeholders
Integration of the SECUR-ED toolkit will be demonstrated in the four demo cities (Madrid, Paris, Milan and Berlin). Each city will play host to several distinct scenarios in various real environments and will give concrete examples of how to increase security. It will also support the creation of a European common market for security solutions adapted to mass transport. Additional demonstrations are also planned in Bucharest, Brussels, Lisbon and Istanbul.
The project is expected to run for 42 months and has a total budget of €40 million which has partly been funded by the EU.
