Q: I am not sure how to handle my recent situation: We have been living month to month with just enough income to get by. My wife makes about $24,000 a year. I just lost my job a week ago. We have been paying down our credit card debt by paying over the minimum payment required. Our current credit card debt is about $17,000 on about four accounts, none of which we pay interest on yet due to taking advantage of balance transfers with no interest.
We also have a home equity loan with a balance due of about $75,000. Our home is worth about $450,000. I also have a small building lot, valued at about $30,000, which I have for sale. I have $15,000 in a 401(k) and $110,000 (and dropping) in an IRA.
We have no other savings. I will not be able to make my payments on these obligations within a very short period of time. We are not extravagant in our style of living. Do I notify my credit card companies of my job loss and inability to pay until I get a new job and back on my feet? Should I take the hit of penalties and interest and take money from my IRA and 401(k) and pay down these debts? Being 53 years old, I will not have enough years left to build my retirement back to anything substantial. Would you advise trying to sell our home? What advice do you have that would have the least effect on my credit rating? –Keith, South Carolina
A: You are certainly not alone in your predicament, but you do have resources you can use to keep current on your credit card and home equity loan obligations:

It looks like Kyoto buses don't accept IC farecards yet.
As mentioned by Dave already, IC cards are currently not accepted on Kyoto City buses. Even if they were, Suica cards would currently not be accepted, as Suica is only valid on JR transportation in the Kyoto area.
If not, is the fare still 220 yen?
Yes. One ride costs 220 yen, and a day pass costs 500 yen.
We will have our JR pass and suica card when we get to Kyoto from Tokyo. The first night reservation was made at Shinmonso in Gion and two additional nights at Rihga Royal Hotel near Kyoto Station.
Our plan in Kyoto is to use all public transportation to see the sights. Based on JR pass and suica card, should we purchase other passes?

A Valentine for Him: The Sock Bouquet
Tuesday, January 08, 2013
I'm (and most girls are) extremely easy to get gifts for on Valentine's Day. However, I have the classic woman problem of finding it very hard to come up with good gifts for my guy each year.
Flowers, candles, chocolates, and jewelry don't really apply to my guy and maybe not yours either. Practical gifts such as socks are always good but lose that fun quality.
That's why I combined a classic Valentine's Day gift (flowers) with a gift that will get some good use (socks).
Here's how I made The Man Bouquet...
To have my sock flowers on green stems I quickly dyed some skewers green with dark green Rit dye, rinsed them, and let them dry.
I laid each sock out so that the heel was pointing up and started rolling it from the toe first to the opening.
Making sure the sock was tightly rolled, I pinned each flower with a pin. Just make sure your guy knows they're in there if you do this.
I used a bit of green tissue paper in a jar to make it a little more pretty. Doesn't it look like leaves?
Then I just stuck each flower in making sure that the pinned side is pointing towards the back.
And that's it! A simple and practical Valentine's Day gift for any guy in your life. I know mine's going to get a kick out of it!

Hi Jessica, I'm Anne from Life on the Funny Farm (http://annesfunnyfarm.blogspot.com), and I'm visiting from DIY Dreamer.
What a clever idea! You're right, guys just don't like the same things girls do for little gifts, do they?
Anyway, thanks for posting this. If you've never visited yet, I hope you can pop by my blog sometime to say hi…Lovely blog and what a great gift idea, im a new follower from GFC blog hop
ThisdayiloveOh, my goodness, my hubby need socks so badly! This will be perfect for Valentine's day. Pinned. I'd love it if you visited and shared some of your great ideas at One Creative Weekend on OneCreativeMommy.com. The next party starts tonight at 8:00 PM MST. I hope you'll be there!

The pillows were amazing and there were plenty of towels. Blackout curtains allowed me to sleep in peacefully.
The staff is friendly the rooms are clean.
It was semi-clean and they had a fridge. The guy who checked us in was also really nice and straight forward.
Extremely scary atmosphere. I was scared to leave my things in my hotel room without a lock on them. Also I was scared that my car was going to get broken into. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and the place was sort of dirty, it definitely could have been cleaner.
The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was terrific. While the rooms aren't sporting the most recent decorating, mine was very clean and ready to be used, complete with a microwave, refrigerator, iron, and free WiFi.
Nothing. I'd highly recommend this hotel for anyone needing a place in this area.
It was clean.
My only issue was that tub water stoper didn't eork, not able to take s bath. Just use shower.
brand new bed, fairly new furnishing, laminate wood and tile flooring, granite counters
hole in BR ceiling, clogged drain, homeless and druggies,non-stop barking dog all night, crashing, stomping, nonstop pacing in room above me, parole officers making an arrest in room 2 doors down, domestic fighting outside my door at midnight. slow wi-fi
The staff was very friendly
The room was cold and uninviting. Even though clean didn't look it.
Happy that I only had to stay 2 nights, wouldn't have stayed at all except for NO REFUND policy!
Did not seem safe or sanitary, door wouldn't lock, extra lock-chain only not bolt, ratty torn lampshade, bedding stained, broken down car in parking being repaired, screens not fitting window, not secure, minimal amenities, no refund given under any circumstance! Even tough cheap price, not worth it!
The rooms were clean and the staff was exceptionally friendly.
Rooms were small but cozy.
The staff was a little abrupt.
Error in my booking and they had "non smoking" rooms that stunk like smoke. He to leave and go across the street to get a true non smoking room. Will not come back.
Everything, it should be completely redone
Very impressed by the staff! The hotel is beautiful and I wish we had been able to stay longer to take advantage of all the wonderful amendities.
The service was very poor and the employees had no knowledge of what was going on I would like to and misled
Yes the rotating prices And the manager lied
microwave did not work it had a exposed power cord on it. not safe. safety lock on door did not work. Roaches in room. I would like a future room free or a refund on my rental fee as i was not able to spend the night in a roach invested room.
The owner was very friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable with our stay.
It would be nice to have a coffee pot in the room along with some sort of clock.
Clean, Good Breakfast, Easy to get to, Helpful staff.
Not really
The breakfast was wonderful.
Everything was great!!!
Convenient to everything. Very clean. Continental breakfast was just right to get you on your way.
Heating system is very outdated. It's either freeze or fry. This wouldn't have been so bad but the blankets weren't enough to keep you warm. Bedding needs replacing.
Conveniently located near main freeway exit
There seemed to be a lot of 1-hour guests checking in frequently.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

BaseballSubmitted by Kirk Giles (not verified) on Wed, 04/11/2012 - 6:25pm.
I was in Charleston over the weekend visiting family. While there I took the kids out to the ball game. Ironically, The Charleston Riverdogs played the Rome Braves. The stadium was beautiful and had well over 6,000 people in the stands at $11 a pop. The kids got to see Big Leaguer Tim Hudson pitch on rehab for the Braves. This is a great thing for the city. Keep our money in our town. So we don't have to watch a game in Myrtle Beach, Durham, Zebulon, or Charleston. We need this. The problem with this town it has to many Negative people and those same people is holding this town back, from being great. I can't wait till Basebal comes. It's about time.. »

2013 in review: Jack Ohman, the New Guy Who Draws Sutter
Thursday marks the anniversary of my start date at The Sacramento Bee. Previously, I had worked at The Oregonian in Portland, Ore., (yes, I watch "Portlandia"; yes, I like it) for 29 years. That's a long time, and I had lots of time to develop riffs and themes about Oregon. I got very good at drawing slugs, wolves, salmon, old-growth timber and hydroelectric dams. Joining The Bee, a much different and faster-paced media market, was a challenge I felt ready for. I even survived my first stretch of 160-degree weather.
The first and most important challenge was to learn just precisely who the players were. Gov. Jerry Brown was well known to me as a national political figure of 40 years. I had familiarized myself as fast as I could with the rest of the California leadership (I could identify State Sen. Mark Leno or Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway on the street now), and it helped enormously that Brown's dog, Sutter, was an attractive foil for me. Going around town now, I still usually hear either, "You're the new guy," "You're the new guy who draws Sutter" or "You have unusual hair."
One of the things that has struck me about California politics is the mammoth influence that the lobby culture has in Sacramento. California is a high-stakes poker game, where the big money plays at the private tables. Comparatively, Oregon is a friendly game of hearts. To see how much influence money has in California is to remove any idealistic illusions you have about politics; it's like finding out your Ozzie and Harriet parents moonlight as bouncers at a biker bar.
I am slowly learning what some of the Sacramento community memes are, which is very much akin to learning a language: you may have a 5,000-word vocabulary, but you haven't memorized the idioms yet. Learning the names of the Sacramento Kings, knowing who Gregory Kondos and Jack Gallagher are, or what, precisely a Delta smelt smells like (cucumbers, I am told) is a process of osmosis rather than deliberate study. I now know that the 12th Avenue exit on Highway 99 south is actually the Sutterville Road exit, and Power Inn Road is named after an actual power station. No one has been able to explain the red rabbit hanging from the airport ceiling.
I have met some of the political players around town. I have seen Gov. Brown a few times at news conferences and speeches, but never actually met him. I did pet his dog a few times. I had a friendly chat with Speaker John A. Pérez, who, it turned out, was the former college roommate of a friend of mine. He noted that he never wore green ties, and I have not put him in one since. I ran into Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg at the Land Park golf course, and he didn't seem to want to bash me in the head with his 7-iron. I met with Mayor Kevin Johnson, and told him I would be unable to have an in-depth conversation with him about his NBA career, which seemed to exhilarate him. I found him inquisitive and likable. Sadly.
Having the opportunity to draw here in Sacramento is, honestly, something I never dreamed I would be doing. The circumstances under which I am here haunt me. But I also know that this is the best place for me now, and I am very much enjoying analyzing my new digs. And if you have any thoughts about subjects you'd like to have me address, I am easy enough to find.
You can reach me at: "The New Guy Who Draws Sutter, 2100 Q St., Sacramento, CA 95813." Or just send me an angry, unsigned email. I always respond.
Unless you make a joke about my hair.

Internets depend on millions of people all over the world to even exist. All parts that together make the thing must comply to local laws. If a country wants to screw people over, no one's going to change it ever. Google is going for their own agenda at best - not caring about anything else than continuing to increase shareholder value by keeping its business model as intact as possible, and political influence at worst, like it doesn't have enough of that already. And it's something that must not be allowed. Though people are gullible, they always need their imaginary freedom fighters and heroes that spit battle cries against the evil system. Unfortunately, amidst all the struggle and casualties no one has ever created a better system than its predecessor, and at the end of the day new freedom fighters have always risen to bring down the very foundation they had helped to build.

Google is interested in a free (as in freedom) and open web because that's the best playground for their business. If governments or any other third party start setting up barriers for users, that'll make it harder for Google to collect info and profit from targeted advertisement.

well speaking of HD shotgun setups, i guess i'll tell a story. so last week i passed out on the couch around 11pm. we live in an apartment right now and we're on the 2nd floor. we had the screened door to our balcony open to let in cold air. our dog starts barking about 230am. (he sounds mean, but if anyone ever actually broke in, he would be the first one to greet them thinking that they were there to pet him). the barking wakes me up in time to hear somebody say "shut up, i've done this lots of times and havent gotten caught". so to me, they were going to break into our house. lol. by this time, my wife has gotten up and i pull our dog into the bedroom with her. grab my shotgun from under my side of the bed and rack it, waiting to blow away whoever tries to get through the door. long story short, it was a couple of drunk asses, but it scared the hell out of me. especially because the first thing i heard was "dont worry, i've never been caught". my thinking was, "well mother f'er, you're about to get caught." and the good news is, i was still able to get my dog in the bedroom with my wife, tell her to STFU and get my shotgun. my mossy holds 7+1, i wouldnt want to be on the receiving end of that.

My latest shotgun, hawk 982 with scattergun technologies +1 extension, surefire tac light, protec light mount and blackhawk sling, soon to come is a 4 shell side saddle, goal was to build a robust reliable HD gun for under the price of a base model Mossberg or Remington, think I accomplished it, I am right at $220 ish with this build.

Gion Matsuri, Kyoto
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
The Gion Festival is one of Kyoto's top three festivals (along with the Aoi Matsuri and Jidai Matsuri) as well as one of the top three in the nation (along with Osaka's Tenjin Festival and Tokyo's Kanda Matsuri). It has this designation because of its long history in the former capital along with the fact that it is a fun and popular festival.
The festival's origins come from Yasaka Shrine, where the sacred floats were originally used in a Shinto ritual commissioned by the emperor in 869 in order to rid the country of a plague. At that time there were 66 floats, each representing one of Japan's provinces. The festival was made annual after the plague disappeared.
Today there are 33 floats, so they do not represent the prefectures (of which there are 47). Each float however does have significance and meaning, mostly from ancient legends and religious stories. The floats are placed in designated areas from a float around Takatsuji Street up to Aneya Koji Street. The main floats and most impressive are located on and near Shijo Street. There are foodstalls all around and in the evenings, roads are blocked off and the atmosphere really feels more festive. The floats are also lit up and people play music from some of them. You can go up inside some of them for a fee (fees varied ranging from 500 yen to 1000 yen).
The festival occurs from July 14-17. The floats remain in place each day except the 17th when they are paraded along a designated parade route. This is considered to be the main part of the festival.
Although it can get crowded particularly at night, I thought the city had a very good handle on things and it was not difficult to get around or even using the public transportation. Just make sure to be patient.
The Gion Festival is one of the biggest festivals in Japan! You shouldn't miss it! It runs for the whole month of July, but the highlight is on the 17th when many men pull large floats through the main streets of Kyoto. The part that all the Japanese people enjoy the best is when the floats have to turn the corner! Many bamboo sticks are put under the wheels of the float and it is turned slowly. I guess it is rather exciting because the floats are so tall and precarious, and there are many young boys sitting in the top playing music. Expect many crowds when you get there, but just take it easy and stop for a cool drink or two, the procession is very slow, so you don't need to rush :-)
If you have time, you should go into Kyoto city (around the Gion area, and Shijo-dori, Kawaramachi-dori) on the 15th & 16th of July at night. The night will be warm and there is a 'festive' air, as many young people are out dressed in their Yukata (summer kimono - for women and men). It is colorful, and lanterns glow from the shopping areas. Walk down to the Yasaka Shrine (everyone is headed this way so just follow the crowd!!) and in the shrine are many glowing night stalls selling frozen pineapple-on-a-stick, shaved-ice, sausages, and Japanese snacks, and trinkets. And you can put a small donation into a wooden box and ring the Shrine's bell to make a wish to the gods. It's just a really nice athmosphere, if you want to see what the Japanese are doing to celebrate the festival. Also, on Fri,Sat, and Sun nights along the Kamo River, many young people play with fireworks, it's especially charming to see young girls in kimono playing with sparklers along the river.
The most picturesque of all festival attractions in Japan.
Festival carts parade around the main street with traditional music.
date :
night bazaar 13-16th July 18:00-
parade 17th July 9:00-11:30 at Sijo-street, Oike-street
Ancient floats make their way down Shijo street to the accompaniment of flutes, gongs and chants. The buzz of the crowd taking over the streets and enduring the opressive heat and humidity... No, it really is great!

I agree completely
I agree with this article for 2 reasons. One is that we picked up most of the seats in 2010. Secondly and more importantly there are many so called Republicans like Susan Collins who do not deserve support and will not get support from conservatives like me. In my opinion these Republicans are worse than Democrats!

After many nights in front of the pc, days of hard work, questions about the new look, and pissing-off people on Yahoo Messenger, KnicksOnline.com is proud to present the new design for the 2006 season.
The structure has basically remained the same, just the design has changed a bit. I guess the page with the most impact is the front page, which lost the right gray (and in the last days orange) bar. Shouts to our friend Sutzu for the flash header. The forums were also upgraded, so be sure to check them as well. All comments are more than welcome.

George, Pacers pull out OT victory over Knicks
Paul George made three throws to tie it with 5.2 seconds left in regulation, then scored nine of his season-high 35 points in overtime as the Indiana Pacers pulled out a 103-96 victory Wednesday night over the New York Knicks, who dropped their sixth straight at home.
New York scored the first 13 points, but this settled into a playoff-type game between teams who met in the postseason last May. And it again went to the Pacers, who bounced back from their first loss after a franchise-record 9-0 start.
George Hill added 23 points and eight rebounds for the Pacers, who beat the Knicks in six games in last season's Eastern Conference semifinals. Just as in the clincher of that series, Roy Hibbert had a pivotal block on Carmelo Anthony's drive to the basket.
Anthony had 30 points and 18 rebounds for the Knicks, who looked completely deflated after they couldn't score following the free throws George made when Iman Shumpert was called for fouling him.
George then put away the Knicks in overtime, keeping them winless at home since beating Milwaukee on Oct. 30 in their season opener.
J.R. Smith had 21 points, and Beno Udrih scored a season-high 19 for the Knicks, including a go-ahead shot with 1:21 left in regulation when he appeared to just throw it at the rim when Anthony couldn't get free. The Knicks protected the lead through a couple of missed 3-pointers by Hill, and Anthony made two free throws for an 89-86 lead with 9.2 seconds left.
Shumpert was then called for the foul on George, with replays showing what appeared to be perhaps just a slight touch to George's arm. The All-Star sank the free throws, and Anthony missed on the other end, and Smith was off on a tip attempt.
The stunned Knicks walked back to the bench as if they had just lost - and pretty soon, they had.
George followed Hibbert's block with a 3-pointer, and followed Anthony's basket with four straight points to put the Pacers in control.
The Knicks were again without injured starters Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton. Amare Stoudemire also didn't play on the second night of the back-to-back, coach Mike Woodson saying the forward isn't cleared for the 20-25 minutes per night he wants to play.
They now go on a four-game road trip, perhaps what they need with their inability to win on their home floor.
George was two shy of his career high, bouncing back well from a season-low 12 points on 3-for-14 shooting in a 110-94 loss at Chicago that ended Indiana's perfect start.
The Knicks jumped to a 13-0 lead while Indiana missed its first seven shots. The Pacers were only 5 for 20 in the first quarter, but one of the makes was Hibbert's ugly, banked 3-pointer that beat the buzzer and cut it to 19-14.
New York was ahead 42-37 at the half and never trailed by more than four until overtime.
The teams were evenly matched last season, only minutes from heading to a Game 7 until Hibbert's sensational, momentum-shifting block on Anthony's dunk attempt late in Game 6. Indiana went on to force Miami to seven games in the East finals and is intent on doing better this season.
As for the Knicks, they went on to instability, changing general managers and much of their roster. Now that injuries have followed, they've been unable to match their strong start last season, certainly not able to keep pace with Indiana's blistering start.
This was a much better performance from the Knicks, who had been critical of their own effort and were coming off a loss in Detroit a night earlier, but not good enough.
Notes: Metta World Peace said he had fluid drained from his left knee twice in recent weeks. ... Danny Granger is with the Pacers on their trip that concludes Friday at Boston, but coach Frank Vogel said Granger is still experiencing soreness in his left calf and won't practice until that is gone.

Director shares his life story, dispenses advice to Victoria community
April 20, 2011 at 11:01 p.m.
Updated April 19, 2011 at 11:20 p.m.
In addition to lecturing to several groups of students and screening one of his films while in Victoria, Trevino said he also plans to conduct interviews for his website Latinopia.com.
Described as a cornucopia of Latino culture for the digital age, Latinopia is a collection of videos and articles on music, poetry, art and cinema, theater and history.
"It's my way of giving back to my community," said Trevino, who has been working on the website for the past two years. "I'm hoping high school teachers as well as college professors use it in the classrooms."
For more information on the website log onto lationopia.com.
For more information on Trevino, log onto www.chuytrevino.com
Trevino's advice for aspiring filmmakers:
1. Don't settle for just a bachelor's degree. Get an MFA too.
2. Use the technologies that are readily available to you to begin filmmaking (i.e. digital cameras, consumer video editing programs).
3. Don't be afraid of rejection.
4. Don't just think about being a director, think about all the fields open to you.
5. Be prepared to work hard.
April 21 - University of Texas English professor Hinojosa-Smith, the "dean" of Mexican American letters in Texas, will speak as part of the UHV/American Book Review Spring Reading Series. Hinojosa-Smith, author of the Klail City Death Trip series, will talk at noon in the Alcorn Auditorium. At 5 p.m. that day, the public is invited to LuRaq's to hear the music of alternative singer/songwriter Davíd Garza, of Austin. Trevíno, Hinojosa-Smith and screenwriter López will be special guests.
April 22 - There will be two simultaneous screenings of the movie, "Real Women Have Curves," at 7 p.m. in the Alcorn Auditorium and in the multi-purpose room. The film was written by Josefina López, who has written and produced more than 80 film and theatrical works. Q-and-A session following the screenings
Growing up, Jesus Salvador Treviño was constantly told he would never be anything more than a farm worker or a janitor.
Trevino hails from East Los Angeles, where as a Mexican-American in the 1950s he was told that people of his ethnicity should only aspire to get labor-intensive, blue collar jobs. In addition, positive, high-achieving Mexican-American role models were non-existent.
"This kind of bred into me the sense that I wasn't going to accomplish much," Trevino said. "I began to hate myself for being Mexican."
However, keeping Mexican-Americans down and the negativity geared toward them eventually spurred the Chicano movement and with it, Trevino's career as a film and television director.
That is the story Trevino shared during a presentation to a group of Introduction to Cinema students in the University of Houston-Victoria's Alcorn Auditorium on Wednesday. The event was part of Centro Victoria's Community Pachanga.
"Be who you are," said Trevino, who considers himself to be a director, activist and pioneer. "Who you are is a good thing."
Macarena Hernandez, co-founder of Centro Victoria, said, "We are so grateful to Jesus Trevino, who has been on a very extensive tour all over Victoria. We are so blessed to have someone of his caliber available to students throughout the city and the community," Hernandez said. "He is not only a great director, but he is also a teacher and leader of the Chicano movement."
With more than 40 years in the film and television business, Trevino, who declined to give his exact age, has worked on a number of award-winning television shows and feature films.
But the road to the big screen was neither easy nor one heavily traveled by other Mexican-Americans.
Born in El Paso, Trevino moved to Los Angeles at the age of 2.
He and his siblings grew up poor with their mother, who worked odd jobs, and his stepfather, who worked in the commissary at a local drive-in movie theater.
Although his stepfather's job barely helped the family to make ends meet, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, giving Trevino his first taste of Hollywood movies.
"I would sit there scared by myself," said Trevino as he described watching movies like "House of Wax" and "The Mummy" in the car, while his stepfather worked his late night shift at the movie's commissary. "... My love of cinema started there."
Despite the urgings of his high school counselor to disregard thoughts about going to college or to only consider attending a two-year college, Trevino applied to and got accepted to Occidental College in 1964.
He graduated four years later with a bachelor's degree in philosophy.
And he had begun to dabble in shooting videos while in his undergraduate days, shooting footage of demonstrations and picket lines with a Super-8 camera during the height of what became known as the Chicano Movement.
Over time, he progressed to shooting and editing short movies to show at community centers.
"As I utilized these little films, it brought about the possibility of using media for social change," he said.
With ambitions of attending graduate school to become a college professor of philosophy, Trevino applied to five graduate schools.
After being rejected by all five schools, he turned his thoughts to filmmaking as a career choice.
Shortly after making his decision, he enrolled in New Communicators, a Los Angeles -based federal program created to increase the number of minorities working in the film industry.
After the program, Trevino spent 15 years creating documentaries both on his own and for the Public Broadcasting Service on topics related to the Latino experience such as gangs, literature, education and health.
The opportunity to do his first feature film came in 1976 when he traveled to Mexico to direct a film he wrote titled "Raices de Sangres," which told the story of the exploitation of Mexican-American/Chicano workers by multinational corporations on the U.S.-Mexico border.
His big break in Hollywood, which Trevino said had historically been closed to blacks and Mexicans, did not come until 1988 when he directed the CBS after school special, "Gangs," which was told the story of the gang problem in Latino barrios.
The program won the Imagenes Award of Merit, the best one-hour drama award at the New York Latino Film Festival and was recognized as Best Daytime Television drama by the Director's Guild of America.
Trevino began making a name for himself, not only for his good quality of work but also for the fact that he and others continually worked to further integrate the film and television industry.
Eventually, Trevino went on to do episodic work, directing television episodes for sitcoms including "Babylon 5," "New York Undercover," "Law and Order Criminal Intent," "Prison Break" and "Bones."
Trevino's film credits include "Resurrection Boulevard" and "Seguin."
"It's a gift to be able to do this," he said.
While speaking to the students, Trevino shared details of the important role episodic directors play in productions and what a directors' job entails.
These details include directors having only seven days to prepare an episode, eight days to produce it and only four days to edit it.
Additionally, he discussed the damaging effects that piracy has had on the directors.
"Seven percent of the money that goes into (directors) retirement funds come from residuals from movies," Trevino said. "It's a big deal that movies are being stolen and being downloaded. People are not paying for them and that money is not going into our pensions."
Students and teachers appreciated hearing Trevino's life story.
"I was quite impressed to hear about where he started out, not believing in himself, to working with "Bones," "Deep Space 9" and all those big name shows," said 19-year-old Sean Swoboda, a freshman at UHV. "Just to see what is possible whenever you set your mind to it and not care what anyone else thinks."
"He was very informative, especially for this group of students in regards to how directing actually works," said Kim Herzinger, a professor at UHV. "He's giving his time to students not only here at UHV but to students throughout the community."
Trevino also made it a point to encourage minorities to continue entering the film and television industry.
"TV tends to be all white, but if you look at the United States, we are a very mixed group of people. Minorities play a very important part in that," he said. "A great deal of progress has been made. Not to say that enough progress has been made, but certainly we have come a long way."

High School Sports
Flagstaff High's Eagles enjoy being football early birds
Residents of Flagstaff are used to being serenaded to sleep every night by a train-horn lullaby.
However, as the clock ticked past midnight on Sunday (Aug. 4) and Monday (Aug. 5) arrived, there was a different sound.
So what was the deal with the whistles?
At 12:01 a.m., the first allowable practice time for most of Arizona's high school football teams, Flagstaff High coaches and 52 players began their journey toward the start of the 2013 season.
The scenario was a bit unusual, to say the least.
First of all, the practice was at Coconino High, Flagstaff's cross-town rival. Flagstaff does not have a lighted field, but it received district approval for the practice a few months ago.
Also, while much of the state was roasting in temperatures near triple digits, the thermometer in Flag rested comfortably in the mid-50s, according to veteran Flagstaff coach Ed Campos.
"The practice was very positive. There was a lot of excitement and enthusiasm,'' Campos said. "The players got all of their paperwork in, had taken their physicals and paid their fees. It was a real motivator for our program.''
Campos said the team received support from the school's administration and others in the community. Quite a few parents were on hand, along with a handful of Flagstaff police officers. They weren't so much worried about the players being out past curfew as they simply were being curious.
Even Campos' wife, Darlene, was up to speed – sort of. She has seen a lot during her years as a coach's wife, and due to the fact that their son, Jay, is the head football coach at Tucson Sabino.
This was a bit different. With Ed's schedule turned upside down, he said she sleepily mumbled something to the effect of, "Have you lost your mind?'' as he walked out the door at 11:30 p.m.
Since schools are not allowed to be in full pads for the first week, the Eagles were in helmets, shirts, shorts and football cleats. Coaches set up cones for agility drills and brought other equipment along for the ride.
The practice, used primarily for conditioning, wound up with relays at around 2:15 a.m.
Campos said the players were just as enthusiastic as they were a few hours earlier.
Flagstaff won four straight titles from 1981-84, but that was a generation ago. How long ago? Well, current Flagstaff principal Tony Cullen played on the 1981 team and was Homecoming King.
The program fell on some lean times and is showing signs of coming back. But Campos, who was a JV coach at Coconino back in that day, rarely uses that as a motivation. He points to a culture change, that these student-athletes are paving their own road, learning the value of hard work and self-discipline and how it can help them in the future.
Two players who lead in that area are senior slotbacks-inside linebackers Nick Ondrejech and Mike Salazar.
"They are ones who believe, who are helping with that change in culture,'' Campos said.
Campos will run a wide-open offense led by quarterback Kyle Wilson, who passed for about 1,600 yards a year ago and who is a capable runner. The defense will be led by coordinator Rudy Baca, who has coached just about every sport at FHS and already has his players fired up.
Encouraging signs, Campos said, are the fact that the offense went from averaging 11 points per game in 2011 to 34 in 2012, and the defense giving up about 30 points a game in 2011 to 9 a year ago.
Flagstaff opens the season on Aug. 30 against Phoenix Central in Northern Arizona University's Walkup Skydome. The Eagles will play in Division III, Section IV along with Prescott Valley Bradshaw Mountain, Coconino, Kingman, Cottonwood Mingus, Bullhead City Mohave and Prescott.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time Campos drove home from his team's midnight run.
He smiled and thought to himself, "Did we really just do this?''
Indeed they did. The Eagles were back on the field Monday afternoon at 4, wide awake and ready to go.

Hello everyone, I just switched over my Motorola Droid to GPA16 and it is an amazing breath of fresh air to this phone. Things are great with the exception of one thing...I can't enable the bluetooth radio. When i attempt to do so it will grey out like it is going to happen then it goes back to disabled. Thoughts? Thanks Peter for a great ROM!
Do you keep your wifi enabled? Do you run Locale? There's a weird thing between the wifi scan and bluetooth, but I don't know if this applies to y'all.
I've had this problem periodically in the past and usually restarting the phone fixes it, but lately that is not the case. It just keeps saying that bluetooth is turning on. I have to end the task in order for it to stop trying to turn on. wtf?
