Adobe Illustrator has long been the most popular and viable vector-drawing program on the market but, for many, the learning curve is steep. In Illustrator CS3 One-on-One: The Essentials , author and leading industry expert Deke McClelland teaches the key features of Illustrator in a way that anyone can understand. He also goes beyond that, showing users how to get into the Illustrator "mindset" to make mastering Illustrator simple and easy. The training covers how to use the core drawing and shape tools, the transformation and reshaping features, text and gradients, and color management and printing features. Even if learning Illustrator has been a struggle in the past, this time it is going to make sense. Exercise files accompany the training.
Now let's take a look at the new interface and how we go about customizing the new interface here inside Adobe Illustrator CS3. In this exercise I'm going to introduce you to the docking pains and show you how they work. In the next exercise we're going to drags some palettes around and really do the actual customization. And then in the third exercise I'm going to show you how to save out your workspace, so two exercises from now. Here I am working inside of a document called Vectory.ai found inside the 02 Setup Navigate folder, and I have this document open just to have something bright and beautiful and vibrant open on screen, just so that we don't have a gray background going on.
Now Illustrator is one of four Creative Suite applications that sports the new interface. The applications are Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Flash. All four of those applications subscribe to what's called the OWL interface. You may see it referred to. OWL in all caps, at Adobe's web site. It's nowhere inside the documentation I don't think. This new interface totally R O C K S's. It's awesome babies. So let's take a look at how it's put together. Notice over here on the right-hand side we have a column of icons. Now it may look a little different on your screen. You may have some full-fledged palettes that you can see there, but in my case, by default it's showing up as a column of icons and you can see what those icons stand for by just hovering over them. You'll see that this one brings up the Color Guide palette. This one here brings up the Swatches palette, and if you want to see any of those palettes you just click on the icon and it goes ahead and comes up on screen.
What if you want those palettes visible all the time instead of having to click on icons to get to them? Well then you just click on the top of this docking pane right here. Notice that there's a dark gray area that's surrounding the little light gray icons. That's the docking pane here inside of Illustrator CS3. To expand the pane, just go ahead and click at the top of the pane, and that expands it. Now something people, there are some folks out there who are against the new interface. I was about to say, believe it or not, but I can believe it because I wasn't so fond of it at the very beginning either for the reason I'm about to show you. You can't drag this pane around. It looks like you've got a title bar up here, but you can't drag it. Notice if you try to drag it to a different location it does not move and if you click on it you collapse the pane again. So that's all that's going on with this title bar. It allows you to expand and collapse and that's it. And the reason is that each one of these docking panes is fixed in place.
You can create more panes if you want to on a single monitor, but you can't move panes around and that includes moving them to a second monitor by the way. But here's a nifty thing. You can go ahead and change the toolbox now, between a single column toolbox and a double column toolbox because it's inside of a pane as well. Now on your screen cause your screen's bigger than mine presumably, you may see a single column toolbox by default. But my screen resolution is 1024x768 so the toolbox gets a little bit clipped in a single column, but I'll go ahead and show you what it looks like and this is the way I'm going to work actually. I'll go ahead and click on that pane in order to send it down to a single column toolbox. If I want the double column toolbox, I just click on that pane again. So you just have to click on that title bar there. All right, let's stick with the single column toolbox though, because I think it's much more elegant. That's just the beginning of how you customize the interface. That's how the docking panes work. In the next exercise I'm going to show you how you can take these palettes, move them any place you want, start new docking panes, collapse and expand them to your heart's content and really achieve the best possible interface here inside Illustrator CS3.

Have you ever just sat back and asked yourself why is Rupaul and George gay? Is it genetic or the result of upbringing? Is it biological or psychosocial? Are people 'born that way' or made that way by man'?
Attitudes towards homosexuality have changed over the centuries. During ancient Greece, homosexual relationships were acceptable, and in some cases expected in certain segments of society. Although, later attitudes towards homosexuality in the Western world were determined largely by Judeo-Christian moral codes, which treated homosexuality as immoral, mental illness or a sin. But, by the 20th century some psychoanalysts viewed homosexuals as having a hormonal imbalance and/or a biological characteristic.
Therefore, tonight I will speak about the biological aspect of homosexuality.
Sexual orientation can determine whom a person is sexually attracted to. Sexual orientation is influenced by biological events that occur at conception or as early in a fetal life before the 17th week of pregnancy. It is in fact similar to being born right- or left-handed in that it results from physiological or genetic conditions. Sexual orientation can be developed early childhood by either genetic or inborn hormonal factors, rather than being solely a matter or choice. Therefore, sexual orientation emerges for most people in early adolescence without any prior sexual experiences. According to researchers Pillard and Bailey "Homosexual, bisexual, and heterosexual orientations, are examples of the biologic diversity of a human being, a diversity with a genetic basisaE...

and convert the date characters to ASCII. Here's the code!
STEP 1: On a search form in a query field, calc the search string. (In this example, INVOICE_DATE is the DATE field on the doc that needs to be in the range. StartDate and EndDate are fields on the Search form. Be sure that the field searched is a DATE. This will not work if the field is text. Also, be sure the date format used on the search form matches the stored format of the document.)
@If(StartDate!=""; "[INVOICE_DATE]>"+@Text(@Adjust(StartDate;0;0;-1;0;0;0))+"+AND+[INVOICE_DATE]<"+@Text(@Adjust(EndDate;0;0;1;0;0;0)); "");
STEP 2: Convert non URL characters to ASCII (i.e. /," ")
asciiString:=@ReplaceSubstring(@LowerCase(string); " ":""":"#":"$":"&":"+":"/":":":";": "<":"=":">":"?":"@": "[":"\"; "%20":"%22":"%23":"%24": "%26":"%2B":"%2F":"%3A":"%3B": "%3C":"%3D":"%3E":"%3F":"%40": "%5B":"%5C"; @If(asciiString != ""; asciiString; "")
Your $$Return would have something like this: (SearchString is the field calculating the query in Step 1.)
NOTE: You may not use the greater than or equal to operator in a web search. You must seperate these out. In the case above, I adjust the dates by 1 day to include the days chosen in the range.

The sangria is hummm great place to go on a date or fun to go with friends we share the paella valenciana.. The tables are a little close but it's a family style restaurant . The owner is very nice.
Guardados is in the Bethesda triangle, but pretty much at the edge of the restaurant area. We go there for lunch often, and it is quiet and welcoming. The waiter Tomas is great when asked for recommendations. There are luncheon specials (something new - under $10 and sometimes $7 or $8), but the regular lunch prices are relatively inexpensive even if you don't order one of the specials. The food is excellent, and pretty much prepared after you order (not ahead of time). The chef will make minor changes (e.g. using mushrooms instead of peppers). The staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient. I was told that they are very busy Friday and Sat nights, and they have live music (guitar) one night per week (Thursday, I think). I strongly recommend this if you are really hungry and want very good value for money. I personally like the Casear salad plus a sandwich, but usually have to take 1/2 of the sandwich home for dinner.
My husband, some friends and I were looking for a place for a night out for dinner and came across Guardado's on Open Table. We usually go to a steak place but wanted something different this time around. We were very pleasantly surprised by Guardado's. The drinks were great - especially the sangria and mojitos. The mango mojito was phenomenal. We had some tapas and paella. The paella casera was really good. We got both the marinera and casera. The marinera was great and had a ton of seafood in it but we really liked the casera - the chorizo made it very flavorful. The only thing that was a liitte bit of a downer was the service. It was not a very busy night but we did not see our server much. Maybe shorter staffing due to it being the holiday season. Overall, a very good experience. We will be back!
Have been enjoying Guardado's since its opening and have never been disappointed. Excellent and diverse tapas, including a good range of seafoods, meats and vegetarian-- the shrimp tapa is addictive and I'm very fond of the vegetables with chorizo. Salads and cheeses are most enjoyable, too. Cocktails, sangria and wines are excellent and well-priced. Overall pricing is excellent and the space, while modest, is welcoming. Guardado's isn't fancy, but it more than delivers on satisfaction and value-- have never had a bad meal here and have always had a good time.
This little place was recommended by friends who live in the neighborhood. We stopped in before heading to the movies for a bite to eat, not expecting anything much. And we were very pleasantly surprised. We ordered a half-dozen or so tapas, and all were very well prepared. The waiters are extremely friendly, and will give you their opinion on what to order if you ask. The wine was good, and it was extremely reasonable. It was a nice departure from all the trendy new spots opening up in DC (I'm not complaining) - just a cozy, understated spot, with solidly good food. I will definitely go again when I'm next in the neighborhood.

Rhamnus prinoides
|Rhamnus prinoides
|Rhamnus prinoides, foliage
|Scientific classification
|R. prinoides
|Binomial name
|Rhamnus prinoides
Rhamnus prinioides, the Shiny-leaf Buckthorn, is an African shrub or small tree in the family Rhamnaceae. It was first described by French botanist Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle in 1789.[1]
Rhamnus prinioides occurs from Ethiopia to South Africa at medium to high altitudes. They grow near streams or along forest margins. The small edible fruits are shiny red and berry-like.
The Rhamnus prinioides plant has many uses amongst the inhabitants of Africa. All parts of the plant are harvested and used for nutrition, medicine or religious purposes. In Ethiopia, where the plant is known as "gešo" or gesho,[2] it is used in a manner similar to hops: the stems are boiled and the extract mixed with honey to ferment a mead called tej.[3] It is also used in the brewing of tella, an Ethiopian beer.[4] Gesho has a considerable value in Ethiopia. It is one of the most and precious crops used for industrial uses both locally for domestic use and industrially. It is used for different local and fabricated products. It is used to prepare or make: Tella or siwa: this local drink is made from gesho as a major ingredient. Gesho leaves are sun dried and pounded with mortar and pestle into flour. Barley malt is prepared and sun dried and ground. These two ingredients are mixed, the proportion varies from person to person, and fermented 3-5 days on average. Finger millet or in other areas sorghum and maize flour are baked, and finally, mixed with the fermented solution locally called 'Tijie in Tigrigna and Tinsis in Amharic'. Then after 1-2 days of stay and fermentation the tella can be filtered and supplied for drink locally called 'Guesh' and may stay for 3-4 days after filtration for "Tsiray". Tej: this local drink is basically prepared from honey and gesho.

It is almost a truism that marketing has become highly technology-intensive. A nearly ubiquitous component of any marketing technology portfolio is email marketing. In fact, there is a high probability your company is already using some form of it, even though you might not be aware of it. A related component is marketing automation. Customers often talk of these in the same breath. In this article, we will look at this distinction in some detail and also summarize what marketers should know when evaluating these technologies.

From the celebrated twenty-nine-year-old author of the everywhere-heralded short-story collection St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves ("How I wish these were my own words, instead of the breakneck demon writer Karen Russell's . . . Run for your life. This girl is on fire"—Los Angeles Times Book Review) comes a blazingly original debut novel that takes us back to the swamps of the Florida Everglades, and introduces us to Ava Bigtree, an unforgettable young heroine.
The Bigtree alligator-wrestling dynasty is in decline, and Swamplandia!, their island home and gator-wrestling theme park, formerly #1 in the region, is swiftly being encroached upon by a fearsome and sophisticated competitor called the World of Darkness. Ava's mother, the park's indomitable headliner, has just died; her sister, Ossie, has fallen in love with a spooky character known as the Dredgeman, who may or may not be an actual ghost; and her brilliant big brother, Kiwi, who dreams of becoming a scholar, has just defected to the World of Darkness in a last-ditch effort to keep their family business from going under. Ava's father, affectionately known as Chief Bigtree, is AWOL; and that leaves Ava, a resourceful but terrified thirteen, to manage ninety-eight gators and the vast, inscrutable landscape of her own grief.
Against a backdrop of hauntingly fecund plant life animated by ancient lizards and lawless hungers, Karen Russell has written an utterly singular novel about a family's struggle to stay afloat in a world that is inexorably sinking. An arrestingly beautiful and inventive work from a vibrant new voice in fiction.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times Book Review
The New York Times
The Washington Post
"Karen Russell is young and talented, and has been given just about every age-appropriate honor there is—Best Young American Novelists, 20 Under 40, 5 Under 35. With her debut novel, though, she's leaving the kids' table forever. The bewitching Swamplandia! is a tremendous achievement for anyone, period. . . . Effortless prose and [a] small, beautifully drawn cast of characters . . . as densely organic as the swamp in which it is set."
—Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly, A–
"If no such thing as the Great Floridian Novel already existed, consider it done. Karen Russell, anointed by Granta and The New Yorker as one our most brilliant young writers, fulfills the promise of her fiercely original 2006 story collection [with] a novel of idiosyncratic and eloquent language; hyperreal, Technicolor settings; and larger-than-life characters who are nonetheless heartbreakingly vulnerable and keenly emotional. It's a tour de force. . . . Near-hallucinatory in its intensity—not only in it's dark, sad, enthralling plot, but in its descriptions of the swamp: gorgeous, precise, lush poetry. The book becomes sharply suspenseful as Russell's fearless eye and voice go deep into the swamps of adolescence, of what it is to lose a mother, and of Florida itself."
—Kate Christensen, Elle
"Karen Russell is a fine purveyor of the unexpected, humorous and razor-sharp description . . . Exactly often enough, her vivid description gives way to a deftly inserted truth. . . . Swamplandia! flashes brilliantly—holographically—between a surreal tale brimming with sophisticated whimsy and an all-too-realistic portrait of a quaint but dysfunctional family under pressure in a world that threatens to make them obsolete. . . . Ava is a true contemporary heroine and not easily forgotten."
—Pam Houston, More
"This impressively self-assured debut novel may bet the best book you'll ever read about a girl trying to save her family's alligator-wrestling theme park."
—Karen Holt, O, The Oprah Magazine
"Winningly told . . . rambunctious."
—Megan O'Grady, Vogue
"Russell does what she does best here—presenting a world we recognize and imbuing it with magical mysticism—and does it brilliantly. The surreal is never a prop, and there's a heart to the writing that goes beyond the sensational. The novel's backbone is in the nuanced intricacies of its characters, in their hopes and fears whether tangible or touchingly naïve. . . . Russell's sentences are well-crafted miniatures building to create a world so enchanted that we are both comforted and devastated to realize that it's our own. Swamplandia! is a dizzying cocktail of heartbreak and humor, a first novel worthy of celebration."
—Laurie Ann Cedilnik, Bust
"[A] cunning first novel. . . . Russell's willingness to lend flesh and blood to her fanciful, fantastical creations gives this spry novel a potent punch and announces an enthralling new beginning for a quickly evolving young author."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Brilliant, funny, original . . . also creepy and sinister . . . Karen Russell's Swamplandia! is every bit as good as her short stories promised it would be. This book will not leave my mind."
—Stephen King
"A wonderfully fertile novel by an unfairly talented writer."
—Joseph O'Neill, author of Blood-Dark Track: A Family History
"Karen Russell's worlds, like her protagonists, are fierce and wondrous and hilarious and heartbreaking, and Swamplandia! features everything a reader could want, from bears with bad rhythm to Live Chicken Thursdays to as visceral and dazzling a portrait of south Florida's now almost destroyed wilderness as you're likely to read. But mostly it's a gorgeous and wrenching portrait of sibling love in all its helpless and furious and panicked indefatigability, and of one girl's determination to do what she can to hold what's left of her family together."
—Jim Shepard, author of Like You'd Understand Anyway
"I would cross even the most crocodile and yellow-fever infested swamp just to spend an hour with Russell's prose. She has an imagination like Calvino, an ear like Tennyson, a heart like Carson McCullers, an observing intelligence like Marianne Moore; what I really mean to say is she is a strange and wonderful writer like none other I know."
—Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances
"Lavishly imagined and spectacularly crafted. . . . Ravishing, elegiac, funny, and brilliantly inquisitive, Russell's archetypal swamp saga tells a mystical yet rooted tale of three innocents who come of age through trials of water, fire, and air."
—Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)
"A love song to paradise and innocence lost. This wildly imaginative debut novel . . . delivers."
—Sally Bissell, Library Journal (starred review)
Praise for St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves
"How I wish these were my own words, instead of breakneck demon writer Karen Russell's, whose stories begin, in prose form, where the jabberwocky left off. . . . Run for your life. This girl is on fire."
—Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Already a master of tone and texture and an authority on the bizarre, Karen Russell writes with great flair and fearlessness. . . . The way Russell beds mundane detail in surrealist settings makes her work exceptionally evocative. . . . Russell's astonishing gifts augur well for a novel of maturity and complexity. It's only a matter of time."
—Carlo Wolff, The Denver Post
"Karen Russell is a storyteller with a voice like no other. . . . Laced with humor and compassion."
—Lauren Gallo, People
"One of the strangest, creepiest, most surreal collections of tales published in recent memory. . . . Her writing bristles with confidence."
—June Sawyers, San Francisco Chronicle
"Twenty-five-year-old wunderkind Karen Russell . . . proves herself a mythologist of the darkest and most disturbing sort. . . . Ten unforgettable, gorgeously imaginative tales."
—Jenny Feldman, Elle
"The landscapes of Russell's imagination are magical places. . . . [A] casual blend of insight and, well, whimmerdoodle. . . . The fablelike settings Russell invents throw the very real absurdity of childhood into relief. . . . Charming and imaginative. . . . [O]ne can sense Russell's enthusiasm and playfulness, both of which she has in spades."
—Francesca Delbanco, Chicago Tribune
"With this weird, wondrous debut, 25-year-old Russell blows up the aphorism 'Age equals experience.' She also suggests 'Write what you know' is similarly useless, unless she's a girl living on a Florida farm, two brothers who dive for the ghost of their dead sister, and children at a sleep disorder camp. These stories are part Flannery O'Connor, part Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and entirely her own."
—Rebecca Ascher-Walsh, Entertainment Weekly
"Endlessly inventive, over-the-top, over-the-edge stories, all delivered in the most confident, exquisitely rambunctious manner. Fabulous fun."
—Joy Wililams
"Edgy-lit lovers will adore this debut short-story collection set in imaginative venues like icebergs."
"Hallelujah! Karen Russell's work sweeps the ground from beneath your feet and replaces it with something new and wondrous, part Florida swampland, part holy water. A confident, auspicious, uncomfortable debut."
—Gary Shteyngart
"Most writers her age haven't yet matched Russell's chief achievement: honing a voice so singular and assured that you'd willingly follow it into dark, lawless territory. Which, as it happens, is exactly where it leads us."
—Caroline McCloskey, Time Out New York
"This book is a miracle. Karen Russell is a literary mystic, channeling spectral tales that surge with feeling. A devastatingly beautiful debut by a powerful new writer."
—Ben Marcus
"In spare but evocative prose, the 25-year-old conjures a weird world of young misfits and ghosts in the Everglades."
—Jenny Comita, W Magazine
"A marvelous book in the tradition of George Saunders and Katherine Dunn."
—Quentin Rowan, New York Post
"Karen Russell's fresh and original voice makes this a stunning collection to savor."
"Karen Russell's startlingly original collection features graceful and seductive prose that transports the reader into surreal and yet utterly plausible realms."
—Harvey Freedenberg, Bookpage
"Russell makes her sparkling debut with these 10 curious, sophisticated and whimsical stories."
—Lindsey Hunter, OK! Weekly
"Russell's first story collection is a thing of beauty. . . . This startingly original set of stories, which feels as though it might have been written by Lemony Snicket and Margaret Atwood, is nto to be missed, and author Russell, whose fiction debuted in The New Yorker and who was chosen by New York magazine as one of 25 People To Watch Under 25,' is poised to become a literary powerhouse. Recommended."
—Amy Ford, Library Journal
"25-year-old wunderkind Karen Russell—whose house-afire prose has already lit up the pages of Granta and The New Yorker—proves herself a mythologist of the darkest and most disturbing sort. . . . [U]nforgettable, gorgeously imaginative tales. . . . With a flair for transforming common aspects of local culture—from gators to sand-sledding—into wondrous miracles, Russell also cuts straight to the heart of adolescence."
—Jenny Feldman, Elle
"Armed with a subversive sense of humor and a wicked turn-of-phrase, a young writer sets out to redefine the Southern gothic."
—Brendan Lemon, Interview
"This unusual, haunting collection confirms that the hype is well deserved. Like the people in Gina Oschner's stories, Russell's characters are caught between overlapping worlds—living and dead, primal and civilized, animal and human—and the adolescent narrators are neither children nor adults. . . . [U]nforgettable. Russell writes even the smallest details with audacious, witty precision. . . . Her scenes deftly balance mythology and the gleeful absurdity of Monty Pytho with a darker urgency to acknowledge the ancient, the infinite, and the inadequacies of being human. . . . Original and astonishing, joyful and unsettling, these are stories that will stay with readers."
—Gillian Engberg, Booklist (starred review)
"[Karen Russell] merges the satirical spirit of George Saunders with the sophisticated whimsy of recent animated Hollywood film. . . . Russell has powers of description and mimicry reminiscent of Jonathan Safran Foer . . . and her macabre fantasies structurally evoke great Southern writers like Flannery O'Conner."
—Publishers Weekly
A debut novel from Russell (stories: St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, 2006) about female alligator wrestlers, ghost boyfriends and a theme park called World of Darkness.
Ava Bigtree is experiencing some hard times in making it through her childhood. Her mother Hilola, a world-class alligator wrestler at the family tourist compound Swamplandia! (which Russell always writes with an exclamation point), died of cancer, so business has fallen off considerably. Perhaps even more significant, World of Darkness recently opened and started draining away customers from Swamplandia! Because the Bigtree family business was on an island off the coast of Florida, no one in the family had much experience with mainland life. Ava, who narrates roughly half the book, would like to follow in her mother's alligator-wrestling footsteps, but her age prevents her from reviving the business. Her brother Kiwi joins the forces of evil, as it were, by taking a job at World of Darkness—one of its big draws is the Leviathan, a ride in which tourists slide down a seemingly saliva-soaked tongue of a giant whale—but also by getting the education he lacked on the island. Kiwi hopes to send money home but finds after meeting all the exploitative fees charged by his boss that he has almost nothing left. Ava's sister Ossie (short for Osceola—she's named after the Florida Indian tribe) starts paying close attention to the results of a Ouija board, finds an old dredge in the swamps near her home, and goes off with the ghost of Louis Thanksgiving, who had died in the swamps years before. Meanwhile, the patriarch of the Bigtree clan, known as the Chief, abandons the whole sorry business and finds a job at a mainland casino. The narrative becomes a quest of sorts as Ava, accompanied by a bizarre character called the Bird Man, poles through the swamps in a mythic attempt to locate her sister. Throughout this search, Russell evokes archetypal journeys through underworlds and across the Styx.
Quirky, outlandish fiction: To say it's offbeat is to seriously underestimate its weirdness.

Chapter One: The Beginning of the End
Our mother performed in starlight. Whose innovation this was I never discovered. Probably it was Chief Bigtree's idea, and it was a good one—to blank the follow spot and let a sharp moon cut across the sky, unchaperoned; to kill the microphone; to leave the stage lights' tin eyelids scrolled and give the tourists in the stands a chance to enjoy the darkness of our island; to encourage the whole stadium to gulp air along with Swamplandia!'s star performer, the world-famous alligator wrestler Hilola Bigtree. Four times a week, our mother climbed the ladder above the Gator Pit in a green two-piece bathing suit and stood on the edge of the diving board, breathing. If it was windy, her long hair flew around her face, but the rest of her stayed motionless. Nights in the swamp were dark and star-lepered—our island was thirty-odd miles off the grid of mainland lights—and although your naked eye could easily find the ball of Venus and the sapphire hairs of the Pleiades, our mother's body was just lines, a smudge against the palm trees.
Somewhere directly below Hilola Bigtree, dozens of alligators pushed their icicle overbites and the awesome diamonds of their heads through over three hundred thousand gallons of filtered water. The deep end—the black cone where Mom dove—was twenty-seven feet; at its shallowest point, the water tapered to four inches of muck that lapped at coppery sand. A small spoil island rose out of the center of the Pit, a quarter acre of dredged limestone; during the day, thirty gators at a time crawled into a living mountain on the rocks to sun themselves.
The stadium that housed the Gator Pit seated 265 tourists. Eight tiered rows ringed the watery pen; a seat near the front put you at eye level with our gators. My older sister, Osceola, and I watched our mother's show from the stands. When Ossie leaned forward, I leaned with her.
At the entrance to the Gator Pit, our father—the Chief—had nailed up a crate-board sign: YOU WATCHERS IN THE FIRST FOUR ROWS GUARANTEED TO GET WET! Just below this, our mother had added, in her small, livid lettering: ANY BODY COULD GET HURT.
The tourists moved sproingily from buttock to buttock in the stands, slapping at the ubiquitous mosquitoes, unsticking their khaki shorts and their printed department-store skirts from their sweating thighs. They shushed and crushed against and cursed at one another; couples curled their pale legs together like eels, beer spilled, and kids wept. At last, the Chief cued up the music. Trumpets tooted from our big, old-fashioned speakers, and the huge unseeing eye of the follow spot twisted through the palm fronds until it found Hilola. Just like that she ceased to be our mother. Fame settled on her like a film—"Hilola Bigtree, ladies and gentlemen!" my dad shouted into the microphone. Her shoulder blades pinched back like wings before she dove.
The lake was planked with great gray and black bodies. Hilola Bigtree had to hit the water with perfect precision, making incremental adjustments midair to avoid the gators. The Chief's follow spot cast a light like a rime of ice onto the murk, and Mom swam inside this circle across the entire length of the lake. People screamed and pointed whenever an alligator swam into the spotlight with her, a plump and switching tail cutting suddenly into its margarine wavelengths, the spade of a monster's face jawing up at her side. Our mother swam blissfully on, brushing at the spotlight's perimeter as if she were testing the gate of a floating corral.
Like black silk, the water bunched and wrinkled. Her arms rowed hard; you could hear her breaststrokes ripping at the water, her gasps for air. Now and then a pair of coal-red eyes snagged at the white net of the spotlight as the Chief rolled it over the Pit. Three long minutes passed, then four, and at last she gasped mightily and grasped the ladder rails on the eastern side of the stage. We all exhaled with her. Our stage wasn't much, just a simple cypress board on six-foot stilts, suspended over the Gator Pit. She climbed out of the lake. Her trembling arms folded over the dimple of her belly button; she spat water, gave a little wave.
The crowd went crazy.
When the light found her a second time, Hilola Bigtree—the famous woman from the posters, the "Swamp Centaur"—was gone. Our mother was herself again: smiling, brown-skinned, muscular. A little thicker through the waist and hips than she appeared on those early posters, she liked to joke, since she'd had her three kids.
"Mom!" Ossie and I would squeal, racing around the wire fence and over the wet cement that ringed the Gator Pit to get to her before the autograph seekers elbowed us out. "You won!"
My family, the Bigtree tribe of the Ten Thousand Islands, once lived on a hundred-acre island off the coast of southwest Florida, on the Gulf side of the Great Swamp. For many years, Swamplandia! was the Number One Gator-Themed Park and Swamp Café in the area. We leased an expensive billboard on the interstate, just south of Cape Coral: COME SEE "SETH," FANGSOME SEA SERPENT AND ANCIENT LIZARD OF DEATH!!! We called all our alligators Seth. ("Tradition is as important, kids," Chief Bigtree liked to say, "as promotional materials are expensive.") The billboard featured a ten-foot alligator, one of the Seths, hissing soundlessly. Its jaws gape to reveal the rosebud pink of a queen conch shell; its scales are a wet-looking black. We Bigtrees are kneeling around the primordial monster in reverse order of height: my father, the Chief; my grandfather, Sawtooth; my mother, Hilola; my older brother, Kiwi; my sister, Osceola; and finally, me. We are wearing Indian costumes on loan from our Bigtree Gift Shop: buckskin vests, cloth headbands, great blue heron feathers, great white heron feathers, chubby beads hanging off our foreheads and our hair in braids, gator "fang" necklaces.
Although there was not a drop of Seminole or Miccosukee blood in us, the Chief always costumed us in tribal apparel for the photographs he took. He said we were "our own Indians." Our mother had a toast-brown complexion that a tourist could maybe squint and call Indian—and Kiwi, Grandpa Sawtooth, and I could hold our sun. But my sister, Osceola, was born snowy—not a weak chamomile blond but pure frost, with eyes that vibrated somewhere between maroon and violet. Her face was like our mother's face cast forward onto cloudy water. Before we posed for the picture on that billboard, our mother colored her in with drugstore blusher. The Chief made sure she was covered by the shadow of a tree. Kiwi liked to joke that she looked like the doomed sibling you see in those Wild West daguerreotypes, the one who makes you think, Oh God, take the picture quick; that kid is not long for this world.
Our park housed ninety-eight captive alligators in the Gator Pit. We also had a Reptile Walk, a two-mile-long boardwalk through the paurotis palms and saw grass that my grandfather and father designed and built. There you could see caimans, gharials, Burmese and Afri- can pythons, every variety of tree frog, a burrow hole of red-bellied turtles and lachrymose morning glories, and a rare Cuban crocodile, Methuselah—a croc that was such an expert mimic of a log that it had moved only once in my presence, when its white jaw fell open like a suitcase.
We had one mammal, Judy Garland, a small, balding Florida brown bear who had been rescued as a cub by my grandparents, back when bears still roamed the pinewoods of the northern swamp. Judy Garland's fur looked like a scorched rug—my brother said she had ursine alopecia. She could do a trick, sort of: the Chief had trained her to nod along to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Everybody, without exception, hated this trick. Her Oz-nods terrified small children and shocked their parents. "Somebody, help! This bear is having a seizure!" the park guests would cry—the bear had bad rhythm—but we had to keep her, said the Chief. The bear was family.
Our park had an advertising campaign that was on par with the best of the aqua-slide attractions and the miniature golf courses; we had the cheapest beer in a three-county radius; and we had wrestling shows 365 days a year, rain or shine, no federal holidays, no Christian or pagan interruptions. We Bigtrees had our problems, too, of course, like anybody—Swamplandia! had been under siege from several enemy forces, natural and corporate, for most of my short lifetime. We islanders worried about the menace of the melaleuca woods—the melaleuca, or paperbark tree, was an exotic invasive species that was draining huge tracts of our swamp to the northeast. And everybody had one eye on the sly encroachment of the suburbs and Big Sugar in the south. But it always seemed to me like my family was winning. We had never been defeated by the Seths. Every Saturday evening (and most weeknights!) of our childhoods, our mom performed the Swimming with the Seths act and she always won. For a thousand shows, we watched our mother sink into black water, rise. For a thousand nights, we watched the green diving board quaking in air, in the bright wake of her.
And then our mom got sick, sicker than a person should ever be allowed to get. I was twelve when she got her diagnosis and I was furious. There is no justice and no logic, the cancer doctors cooed around me; I don't remember the exact words they used, but I could not decode a note of hope. One of the nurses brought me chocolate duds from the vending machine that stuck in my throat. These doctors were always stooping to talk to us, or so it seemed to me, like every doctor on her ward was a giant, seven or eight feet tall. Mom fell through the last stages of her cancer at a frightening speed. She no longer resembled our mother. Her head got soft and bald like a baby's head. We had to watch her sink into her own face. One night she dove and she didn't come back. Air cloaked the hole that she left and it didn't once tremble, no bubbles, it seemed she really wasn't going to surface. Hilola Jane Bigtree, world-class alligator wrestler, terrible cook, mother of three, died in a dryland hospital bed in West Davey on an overcast Wednesday, March 10, at 3:12 p.m.

Preds/Flyers Trade

from Bob McKenzie at TSN,
The Philadelphia Flyers have dipped into the free agent market a little early, thanks to the Nashville Predators.
Because of Nashville's uncertain ownership future and an expected tight budget in the coming year, sources tell TSN the Predators arranged with the Flyers to give them exclusive negotiating rights to two coveted free agents - defenceman Kimmo Timonen and forward Scott Hartnell.
Sources tell TSN the Flyers have now signed both Hartnell and Timonen to long-term contracts.

I am the kind of person who is so much like the saying in Aladdin movie,"Diamond in the Rough". I just might not shine once you see me but you will soon discover that, it is the inside that you will have to look at to really see me.
And since this is the case, I think you should wait till you meet me to know the rest.

August 24, 2010 1:43 by Rasha Reslan
ABU DHABI, UAE (23 August 2010): Abu Dhabi Media Company (ADMC) has announced the appointment of Mohamed Al Hammadi as Editor-in-Chief of National Geographic Al Arabiya, a new monthly publication which is set to launch 1st October 2010. The magazine will be distributed in 15 countries across the Middle East and North Africa.
Mohamed Al Hammadi's first challenge is to coordinate editorial efforts among these countries in order to develop 20 percent of the magazine's content as exclusive to the publication and to showcase the environmental issues and extensive range of flora, fauna and landscapes particular to the MENA region.
The appointment of Al Hammadi is the latest demonstration of ADMC's commitment to providing the best content to consumers in the Arab world.
"National Geographic Al Arabiya is all about passion for the natural environment, its biodiversity and indigenous culture. With Mohamed's extensive interests in photography and travel, coupled with his journalistic expertise, he is in many ways a natural choice for Editor-in-Chief. We are confident that in him National Geographic Al Arabiya has the ideal custodian to help take the title to a potentially vast audience across the MENA region," said Gavin Dickinson, Executive Director of Publishing, ADMC.
Commenting on his appointment, Mohamed Al Hammadi, spoke of the challenges of bringing the region's immense natural beauty to a wider audience through greater media exposure.
"People are simply becoming more interested in the natural world. Couple this with increasing environmental and scientific awareness in the region and you have a ready consumer market for media in this highly specialized sector. It's a great honour to lead a team which will pioneer high quality content on these subjects via an internationally-renowned medium that is also well-known among fellow Arabs."
The new publication will be available in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. Al Hammadi's first task is to coordinate and generate content through the vast network of freelance photographers, journalists and translators available to National Geographic Al Arabiya.
National Geographic Al Arabiya will provide readers in the region with greater access to National Geographic magazine's award-winning features on geography, archaeology and natural science, as well as its iconic imagery of natural beauty from around the world.
National Geographic Channels International and Abu Dhabi Media Company also broadcast the National Geographic Channel in Arabic across the Middle East. The new Arabic language edition of National Geographic magazine will bring to 32 the number of local-language editions.

19 impressive facts about Joe Sakic
Nov 11, 2012, 10:00 PM EDT
In anticipation of Monday's Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, PHT is taking an in-depth look at each of the four main entrants.
Joe Sakic might not have provided explosive quotes, but his staggering numbers and all-time-great wrist shot were memorable enough. Here are 19 facts/milestones from his incredible career:
1. Sakic scored a point (an assist) in his first career game in 1988-89 and found the net for the first time in his second – against Sean Burke.
2. Even better, he began his career on a 12-game point streak, according to Hockey Reference.
3. Sakic made his first of 12 All-Star appearances in 1990, collecting two assists in Pittsburgh.
4. He scored 100 points for the first time in his second campaign.
5. Later on, he'd become the second-oldest player to hit the 100-point plateau. Sakic did at 37, behind only Gordie Howe.
6. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1995-96, scoring 18 goals and 34 points in 22 postseason games.
7. Not surprisingly, that's when he won the first of two Stanley Cups.
8. Sakic's eight playoff overtime goals is an NHL record.
9. His 1,641 career points places him ninth all-time.
10. He collected his 1,000th career point on Dec. 27, 1999:
11. Sakic became the 11th player to collect 1,000 assists on March 22, 2008.
12. His 625 goals ranks 15th all-time. Here's No. 600:
13. Sakic is a member of the "Triple Gold Club," having won a Stanley Cup, World Hockey Championship and Olympic gold medal.
14. Speaking of that Olympic gold medal, Sakic took home the MVP award of that 2002 tournament.
15. Sakic was drafted 15th overall in 1987, going behind some greats (Brendan Shanahan, Curtis Joseph) and some not-so-greats (Bryan Fogarty, Keith Osborne).
16. He basically owns the Colorado Avalanche/Quebec Nordiques record books, claiming the all-time lead in: goals, assists, points, power-play goals, short-handed goals and game-winning goals. (That also goes for many of the team's playoff records.)
17. He was the second-longest serving captain in NHL history, according to the Avs.
18. The 2000-01 season was special for Joe. He won his second Cup and took home the Hart Trophy, Lady Byng and Ted Lindsay awards.
19. For all his accolades – these are just the highlights of his astounding career – many will remember what No. 19 did for No. 77 more than anything else:
- bagjr387 - Nov 11, 2012 at 10:27 PM
There is only 19?…probably an insult to Joe
- blkeskimo1785 - Nov 12, 2012 at 1:53 AM
Actually, there's only 18 because they forgot number 3.
- James O'Brien - Nov 12, 2012 at 5:10 AM
Thanks, it's corrected now.
- scionofflame - Nov 12, 2012 at 9:37 AM
The Avs were the first sports team I truly rooted for, from any sport. My dad was a huge fan, and it made a big impact on me as a hockey fan.
Of all my time watching hockey, I think my favorite player to watch and most respected is Joe Sakic. I got to watch him play, watch him lead, and watch him be a constant force on the ice, night in and night out. He deserves that HHoF spot, for sure.
- comeonnowguys - Nov 12, 2012 at 2:43 PM
He inspired a player on every team in hockey to wear #19?
- balewsquare - Nov 12, 2012 at 9:05 PM
I had an old hockey coach who used to help out with the Av's training camp. A lot of it was obviously conditioning, and he said every year the old Sakic would come out flying and lap the 20 year olds to show them whose team it was, and what they needed to strive for.

I would blow him if he taught me to shoot like that

Click the button to download our Scramble Information,
Player & Sponsorship brochure.
(Adobe PDF Reader is required)
The 2015 Bob Rose Golf Scramble exceeded our wildest expectations! With cash and in-kind contributions topping $66,000, the tournament actually netted $45,000 cash for Arc clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities – a record-setting fundraising total!
We want to thank the close to 50 sponsors (almost 20 of them new to the tournament this year) and the 30 volunteers who helped make this year's tournament both a financial success & a fun-filled event. Of course, the great folks at Haile Plantation Golf & Country Club could not have been more supportive or professional, and the weather was flawless.
We also extend a special 'Thanks' to David's BBQ & Loosey's for once again feeding the hungry golfers and volunteers before and after the scramble, and Napolatano's Restaurant for hosting a pre-event reception on Thursday evening before the tournament. News Radio 97.3 The Sky was our Presenting Sponsor & radio 'Star' Bob Rose once again lent his celebrity and support to The Arc of Alachua County's largest annual fundraiser.
Although no one sunk the 'Hole In One' on No. 8 to win the beautiful Harley-Davidson sponsored by our friends at Gainesville Harley-Davidson or won the contest sponsored by Charity Golf International on No. 10's Long Drive Contest, all the golfers had a great time trying! The winning team, with a score of 53, was My Brand and featured Gary Klopper, Eric Pace, Jonathan Hope and Brandon Moore. Congratulations to My Brand! (picture below)
As we bask in the warm glow of a 2015 Bob Rose Golf Scramble we find hard to imagine it can be topped, we already set our eyes on next year's tournament – set for Friday, April 22, 2016 at 1 p.m. at Haile Plantation Golf & Country Club. So SAVE THE DATE and see you next year!
Interested in becoming a sponsor?
Email us and we will get you everything you need to know.
So many wonderful companies and individuals make our scramble a success. Some give money, some give products or gift cards, or even services. Below is a list of all the wonderful contributors to this year's event.

Kristen Schaal will have a supporting role in Melissa McCarthy's upcoming prison comedy Michelle Darnell.
McCarthy collaborated with her husband Ben Falcone and Steve Mallory on the comedy about a business titan sent to prison for insider trading.
Michelle Darnell attempts to re-brand herself following her release from jail, but many of the people she crossed over the years are unwilling to help make her comeback a success.
Schaal is the latest comedy star to join the cast of Michelle Darnell, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that she will play a scout leader.
The comedian is currently starring on television in Fox's The Last Man on Earth. Her feature film credits include Valentine's Day, Dinner for Schmucks, The Muppets and Despicable Me 2.
Schaal also voices Trixie the dinosaur in Disney's Toy Story franchise.
Michelle Darnell - which also stars Peter Dinklage, Kristen Bell and Kathy Bates – opens next spring. »

Technically speaking, The Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore is the new guy on the late-night television circuit, but the former Daily Show correspondent and in Living Color writer has been making us laugh — at all hours of the day — for quite some time.
The writer/actor/stand-up comedian, who got his start on The Facts of Life, has been seen on the small screen (Happy Endings, How I Met Your Mother, and The Office, which he also worked as a consulting producer on) and big screen (I Love You, Man, Dinner for Schmucks, Vamps) alike for a career that's already spanned more than 30 years.
While Wilmore has long been a memorable "Oh, that guy!" kind of character actor, he has been making just as many waves off-screen. The Los Angeles native co-created the hit comedies The PJs, with Eddie Murphy, and The Bernie Mac Show, with the late, »

- Do you accept cash at toll booths on The Toll Roads?
Do you accept cash at toll booths on The Toll Roads?
No. On May 14 2014, cash toll collection was removed from The Toll Roads. Although we removed one method of payment, we have introduced four new ways to pay tolls without stopping or fumbling for change.
Now, with five ways to pay tolls (FasTrak®, three new ExpressAccount® types and a One-Time-Toll® option), there's a custom payment method that will work for every driver - regardless their method of payment, when they want to pay their toll and how much of California they intend to explore.
Since 2010, we've been carefully researching the latest and most advanced toll collection technologies to improve your experience on The Toll Roads. After conducting consumer surveys and focus groups, we found that - in addition to FasTrak - drivers wanted more, easy ways to pay without stopping. So that's what we've provided.

The processing of my order was a little slow, but everything turned out just fine. There was one surprise, however!
There was a sales flyer placed inside the package and, much to my surprise, the item I had just received was on sale! The sale price was only $1 less, but I did find it a little ironic. AND...the sales flyer boasted same day shipping!
Overall......everything turned out and the quality of the product was great!

Pride of Poway's dream of Buick win hits a snag – and a pine – at Torrey
Adding insult to his bad day, he was handed a drug test form when he left the scoring trailer. If they were testing for frustration, Hoffman was way over the legal limit.
"I didn't play my best today and I'm going to go out and try and get them tomorrow," he said as he walked to the drug-testing area, one of many players selected yesterday as part of the PGA Tour's random drug testing.
Hoffman, who is coming off a playoff loss to Kenny Perry at the FBR Open last Sunday, said he had never had a ball he hit get stuck in a tree.
"What are you going to do? Just go on," he said.
