North Creek A weekend of field pickin' tunes in a four-day camper town approaches as the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival returns to the Ski Bowl Park for its eighth year from Aug. 18-21.
Among the performers is David Nichols and Spare Change, from Whippleville, outside Malone.
"We're regionally known and marginally famous," said Nichols.
Nichols runs a guitar inlay shop that's embellished and built guitars for the likes of B.B. King, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard.
A bluegrass festival is basically a giant campout, said Nichols. Attendees like to sit near their camper and play music while listening to the stage. Having someone to play with at your campsite is as big a draw as the stage performers, said Nichols.
The bluegrass festival season runs from April to October. It's special, said Nichols, it's the way performers like him live their summers. He runs his shop Monday through Wednesday, then heads out for festivals, playing from Maine to Pennsylvania.
His band will donate a Bristol Blue Ridge guitar to be raffled off at the event, a custom for them when playing festivals.
It's a small festival, but we all know each other, said Nichols, "it's like a family reunion."
When Nichols stops into the North Creek festival, "I know where I'll park, I know who'll park behind me."
It's like a community, he said, you know where you live, you know who your neighbors are, and you're friendly with most everybody. He added that he avoids people who want to talk his ear off.
He said much like other performers, his band will wander around the campers and play songs, have a sandwich with the owners, move to another camper, or split up to mingle. Rusty Leigh, who's helped organize the event since it began, called this practice field picking.
The festival wasn't very big the first year, "as a matter of fact it was quite small," with nine bands playing for three days.

The 65-year-old is the number one candidate to replace Luis Enrique, who resigned from the post earlier this month.
"I've had talks with Roma and we are already at an advanced stage," Zeman said to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Czech tactician guided the Eternal City outfit from 1997 until 1999 and is looking forward to working with veteran Roma captain Francesco Totti again.
"It's too early to talk about this (the project)," he said.
"But if Totti proves he is in good form then he will always play.
"With me, those that work hard in training always play, regardless of their names or ages."
Zeman recently led Pescara to promotion to Italy's top flight in his first season at the club.
Roma endured a disappointing campaign under Luis Enrique and finished outside of the Serie A European places in seventh.

Network Traffic Multi Optional Report
The Multi Optional Network Query Report is a plugin for the freeware MZL & Novatech TrafficStatistic and allows to analyze the traffic of each machine in the local network. So it can be detected, which machines have high bandwidth usages, which use unusual services or have traffic when staff is absent. In difference to other network analyzers, the traffic data records are constantly and completely wirtten, so that after an incident the relevant data are available for reporting in a query and there is no need to define filters in advance for logging relevant data. The report can also be used to build up a basic usage based billing - eg, when sharing a traffic metered DSL connection via WLAN with diffrent users, this report allows to tell, who is responsible for which traffic and therefore responsible for which costs.

Preserving the Past, Informing the Future
|Skip Navigation Links
Since the publication of the last volume another of the leading members of the Fairfield County Bar has been removed by death, of whom the following obituary notice has been furnished, at the request of the reporter, by Hon. Henry Dutton of New Haven.
JOSIAH MASON CARTER was born in the town of New Canaan in this state on the 19th day of June 1813, and graduated at Yale College among the first scholars of his class in the year of 1836. He studied law with Hon. Thomas B. Osborne at Fairfield, and was admitted to the Fairfield County bar in August 1839. He commenced to practice of law in the city of New York in 1841, in which he was married. In 1847 he removed to Norwalk, in this state, and formed a law partnership with Hon. Thomas B. Butler, now the Supreme Court of the state, with whom he continued until the elevation of the latter to the bench in 1855. He continued to reside in Norwalk, devoting himself laboriously to the practice of his profession, till his death, which occurred on the 21st day of March 1868. He was a member of the General Assembly of the state in the years 1850, 1861 and 1862, and the last year was Speaker of the House. He was the candidate of the Whig Party for the office of Lieutenant Governor in 1856. He was appointed State Attorney for Fairfield County in 1862 and held the office until his death. On two occasions he declined to be a candidate for a judgeship in the Superior Court, when it was urged upon him by his political friends then in power. With the exception of a hearty and intelligent interest in politics of the time, especially in their relation to the great question of human freedom, and an active interest in the educational and other public concerns of the community in which he lived, he allowed nothing to withdraw his time or attention from the practice of his profession, and his interest in politics never led him to seek or willingly accept political office. To his legal practice and to the interests intrusted to him in it he devoted himself constantly and laboriously and with the greatest fidelity. He was not a brilliant man, and had no great power as a public speaker, nor had he any special tact in the management of causes. He accomplished what he did by the careful preparation of his cases, both upon the law and the facts, and the application of good sense to the matter at hand, with a good degree of pertinacity in pursuing and insisting upon his points, and by the impression which he made on courts and juries of an honest and honorable man. He was a sound and well read lawyer, with little general culture, but with a good legal mind, well disciplined by his collegiate education and professional pursuits, and at the time of his death he stood among the most respected and trusted of the profession.
As a man he was without reproach. He was perfectly honest, truthful and moral. He was very sensitive in everything that touched his pride of character, of which he had a great deal, and to some extent his pride of opinion, in which he was not wanting; and he had a ready indignation at every act of meanness or wrong. One of his associates at the bar who knew him well, says, "He was perfectly reliable, of unquestioned integrity, of strong attachments and perhaps of equally strong antipathies, incapable of duplicity, simple, frank, and eminently social." He never made a public religious profession, almost wholly, it is believed, from self-distrust. He was a constant and interested attendant on public worship, and in his last illness expressed his desire to unite with the church if his life was spared. Some of his last utterances were of his trust in Christ. The Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, a congregational clergyman who preached his funeral sermon, says of him, after quoting the words we have quoted above, "This is a deserved eulogy, but better far for a dying man is the panegyric which we have ventured to apply to him, "A good man and just, who waited for the Kingdom of God, and was a disciple of Christ."[footer.htm]

Somehow, despite all the moaning, the turgid play, the ordinary players, Franco Baldini, Poch's accent and the small pitch, Spurs are just four points off the top four, two points behind Arsenal, three clear of Liverpool and still in all the cups. But without Eriksen, the picture would be a good deal less rosy.
Tottenham's spending spree last summer had a number of players fearing for their future at White Hart Lane... One player somewhat forgotten about in the mayhem was midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson... yet despite making 58 league appearances during his two-year spell in north London, the 24-year-old never really established himself as a first-team regular.
Louis van Gaal's first foray into competitive Premier League football ended in disappointing fashion on Saturday afternoon as he watched his team slide to a 2-1 defeat to Swansea City... However, despite the initial sadness in defeat, Saturday's disappointment could be the best result for Louis van Gaal and Manchester United.
This Sunday, Swansea travel to Cardiff for what promises to be one of the highlights of the Premier League season. And no, I'm not exaggerating. This will be the first time the two sides have ever clashed in top flight football, and neither will want to give up an inch to their arch-rivals and sworn enemy.

Striding out to support plans for skate park
Posted: October 30, 2013|
CAMPAIGNERS are getting their skates on as a bid to build a new skate park in Newent hots up.
Plans are due to be submitted to Newent Town Council, which has already pledged its support.
Organiser Aaron Jones said his team have been fundraising since April to make the idea a reality.
He thinks they will need at least £150,000, some of which will come from fundraising activities.
The bulk, he hopes however, will be stumped up in grant form from the likes of lottery schemes.
Tomorrow night, dozens of youngsters are pledging their support by doing a sponsored Halloween walk from the town's Chill Out Zone to the top of May Hill.
Aaron, 37, said: "The support has been fantastic, we're doing all sorts of fundraising things both to raise as much money as we can but also to show those who can award us grants just how serious we are about it."
Fundraising efforts for the skate park, proposed for the Recreation Ground have included the summer's Newload music festival.
The Newent Youth Service has also joined the efforts and is organising a midnight walk to May Hill on Halloween night. They will leave from the Chill Out Zone at 9pm.

Valencia boys dust Knights, but fall to Miyamura
Valencia responded from a tough 3-2 loss at Miyamura on Tuesday with an 8-1 win over Del Norte at home on Thursday.
And it came under the watchful eyes of two different coaches.
Head coach Eric Gutierrez got a red card for a heated discussion with an official in Tuesday's Miyamura match. Junior varsity coach Jose Enriquez took over the rest of that match, and coached during Thursday's home win over the Knights.
Gutierrez will be back for the Jaguars' (5-4, 1-1 in District 6-4A) visit to Grants (4-4, 0-1) on Saturday. Kickoff is at 11 a.m.
Enriquez was excited about the opportunity to lead the Jaguars again. He coached the Jags 1-0 win over Capital earlier in the season, when Gutierrez was suspended for one game for not having one of his younger players attend enough practices before playing in a match.
"I love to coach," Enriquez said. "I think I am finding a niche for it. I am glad that my second one was a lot easier than my first. It is always hard because I have to get the JV ready while keeping an eye out for varsity and seeing what is going on there. It is not much of an issue if you are leading 4-0 going into the second half."
Miyamura 3, Valencia 2
Tuesday, host Miyamura scored two goals quickly to take a 2-0 lead into halftime, only to see the Jags come back in the second half to tie the match 2-2 on goals from Alan Ramirez and Snider in the 50th and 59th minutes.
After the red card was issued to Gutierrez, the Valencia coach, Miyamura got the winning goal in the last five minutes of the match when Xavier Chaves scored for the Patriots ((7-2, 2-0).
Chaves and Miguel Gutierrez had the first-half goals for Miyamura.
Valencia was outshot in the district contest, 15-8.
Valencia 8, Del Norte 1
Thursday at Valencia, Diego Ramirez and Andrew Snider led the scoring assault that got the Jags back over the .500 mark for the year.
Ramirez got four goals, three in the second half, and added two assists as the Jaguars outshot the Knights 11-4 in the easy win.
Enriquez especially praised Snider's efforts as he forward led the charge on most offensive series.
"Andrew Snider had just as many assists as he did goals," said Enriquez. "That is what is important. Goals are great, but assists are worth as much as a goal."
Snider scored twice and had two assists. He scored the final goal of the match by breaking through two Knight defenders and putting a well-placed shot past Del Norte goalkeeper Gerardo Velador.
"You can't have those goals unless you have the whole team working together for the assist," said Enriquez.
Christian Armijo scored the first goal only 54 seconds into the match. He squeezed through two defenders and hit a hard strike within 10 yards of the goal. Velador blocked it, but could not hold on and the ball dribbled off his hands past the goal line.
David Acosta scored the next goal with some precise footwork in front of the goal box. Ramirez fed him the ball with about a 20-yard kick into the box and Acosta tapped the ball out of the air with his right foot, settling it. He then stuck the ball with his left, all in one smooth motion, to score and make it 2-0 Valencia.
"It is especially great when you shoot it with your left foot," said Enriquez. "Most of our players are right-foot dominant. It just shows that you don't have to rely on one foot to score goals."
Snider and Ramirez each got a goal in the first half to make it 4-0 at halftime.

Bullying prevention
Bullying happens when one child picks on another child repeatedly and it's no longer limited to school or your local neighborhood. It's happening more frequently on the Internet and on mobile devices like cell phones. Here are some reminders for parents from the American Academy of Pediatrics about how to address bullying and prevent it from becoming an even bigger problem.
When Your Child Is Bullied
Help your child learn how to respond by teaching your child how to:
1. Look the bully in the eye.

Peel It Up
Were you one of the thousands of hopefuls who submitted your demo tape to BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel? Perhaps he didn't play it, let alone include it on his annual Festive 50 list. But consider this: Did you describe your music as "jazz"? Boast about your saxophone player? Profess a lifelong admiration for the MC5, the Stooges or the New York Dolls? If so, you doomed yourself to oblivion and didn't even know it: All three of these were on Peel's short list of "things not to write in any press release."
Somehow, this passage sums it all up, both the man and his iconoclastic approach to radio. In Britain, Peel was an institution. From the 1960s until his untimely death in October 2004, he was a constant presence on the BBC, playing the music he loved with a charmingly casual, low-tech approach. (He never overcame his habit of cueing up records at the wrong speed.) He was a hippie in the '60s, hanging out with T. Rex's Marc Bolan and preaching peace and love, but his boundless passion for music made him one of the few Flower Power vets to successfully make the transition into punk. His favorite band was the Fall; his favorite song, the Undertones' "Teenage Kicks."
Peel was more than a DJ; he was a tastemaker extraordinaire. To be asked to record a "Peel Session" in the BBC studios (or at Peel's own home) was an honor on the order of being knighted. Many of these recordings have been released commercially; for some, like the Slits and Scritti Politti, they represent the artists' best studio work. Upon Peel's death, there were radio tributes, magazine articles, memorial Web sites and an outpouring of grief usually reserved for athletes or film stars.
It seemed obvious that Peel had some great stories to tell. Margrave of the Marshes is necessarily incomplete, but it's a captivating read and the closest most of us will ever get to hearing from the man himself. Peel himself wrote the first 165 pages; sadly, he died before getting to write about his first radio job. What he did finish is a rambling, eccentric, often hilarious account of growing up in wartime England, his military service, his first marriage and the culture shock of being a Brit in early-'60s Texas. (People assumed he knew the Beatles; he didn't let on otherwise.) He jumps from subject to subject in a way that suggests that this is, indeed, a first draft, but somehow it works; anyone who's heard Peel's shows is used to jarring transitions and occasional flaws.
It was up to his wife, Sheila Ravenscroft, and children to dig through his diaries and their own memories to tell the rest of the story. Sheila picks up where John leaves off on a visit to a Mexican brothel, where he was apparently just an observer and helps make sense of the messy prose we've just read. She started out as a Peel fan, too; the two met at one of his live appearances, stayed married for 30 years and had four children. She doesn't sugarcoat the man's flaws he could be curmudgeonly and overly sensitive but it's clear that they loved each other and that Peel remained a relatively unassuming, down-to-earth presence in a business all too often ruled by ego.

Texas Reps. Lamar Smith and Ted Poe among Congress' most frequent users of term 'illegal' immigrants
Is it semantics or bias? Two Texas congressmen are among lawmakers who most often use the term "illegal immigrant" to describe people living in the U.S. without proper legal documentation. Rep. Ted Poe and Rep. Lamar Smith have used the term frequently over the last five years, according to the Sunlight Foundation's Capitol Words research tool. […] [Read More]
The ten most competitive House races of 2012
Democrats must gain 25 seats to win a majority in the House of Representatives, and they're hoping for a Mitt Romney meltdown that discourages GOP turnout.
It'll be tough. Democrats are competitive in some 40 Republican-held districts. But the GOP could stake claim to up to 35 seats currently held by Democrats.[Read More]
Raucous House hearing strays from immigration law into lawmaker's patronage of prostitutes
Republicans pushed forward with a bill to strip the Obama administration of discretion in deporting illegal immigrants during a raucous hearing Tuesday where Democrats cited a senator's embarrassing involvement with a District of Columbia madam.
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, said he filed the "Hinder the Administration's Legalization Temptation" Act, or HALT, to stop the administration from granting a "backdoor amnesty" through prosecutorial discretion.[Read More]

Air Baltic will deploy two Boeing 757s primarily on routes to Estonia and Lithuania over the summer season, chief executive Martin Gauss says.
The 757-200s, which are painted in Air Baltic's livery, were until recently wet leased to Cambodia's Tonlé Sap Airlines.
They will be used to operate flights to Tallinn in Estonia and Vilnius in Lithuania, as well as being occasionally deployed to Paris, Barcelona and possibly some other European destinations.
"Until we find a new wet-lease partner, we will deploy these aircraft on high-density routes as needed," Gauss tells Flightglobal. "One of the aircraft is in [Latvia's capital] Riga already, and the other one is being returned."
He says turnaround plan ReShape still envisages transitioning to an all-Bombardier fleet of Dash 8 Q400s and CSeries CS300s, and that Air Baltic is "actively seeking" a replacement wet-lease customer for the 757s.
But operating the mid-size jets on an interim basis "makes a lot of sense", Gauss continues, as some summer routes are already overbooked and "we have them sitting on the ground anyway".
"If we didn't use the 757s we would have had to send two 737s in parallel to Tallinn," the chief executive notes.
Separately, Air Baltic has used its cash reserves to buy four previously-leased Boeing 737-500s. This will give the airline flexibility in the event that its CS300 order is delayed, Gauss says.
Air Baltic is no longer considering replacing its 737-300s with 737-700s on short-term leases, he adds, as the newer models are "too expensive".
The airline operates a fleet of eight Q400s, seven 737-300s, four 737-500s and three Fokker 50s, Gauss says, though two other 737s remain in its possession. The Fokker 50s will be retired by August, after four additional Q400s arrive on 12-year operating leases.
The Boeing fleet will then gradually be withdrawn as Air Baltic takes delivery of 10 CS300s, which will begin arriving at the end of 2015.

New degree considered at Marshall
HUNTINGTON -- An area of study experiencing a national resurgence could find a new home at Marshall University.
Marshall's Board of Governors will vote on the creation of Master of Science degree in Computer Science during its regular meeting beginning at 9 a.m. Wendesday in the Shawkey Dining Room in the Memorial Student Center on campus.
The degree will be part of the Weisberg Division of Computer Science in the College of Information Technology and Engineering at the university.
It is designed to "provide students with the knowledge, skill and professional practices to develop complex software systems and will prepare students who desire to pursue further graduate work leading to the Ph.D. degree."
The degree was approved by the board's Academic and Student Affairs Committee during its meeting Tuesday at the St. Mary's Center for Education.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the outlook for job growth in the computer science field will be 15 percent faster than the national average through 2022. The bureau reports computer and information research scientists likely will "enjoy excellent job prospects."
In May 2012, the median pay for computer information and research scientists was $102,190 per year, or $49.13 per hour.
The board also will consider a replacement policy regarding animals on campus.
The measure, which also was approved by the board's Academic and Student Affairs Committee on Tuesday, began as an update to the policy in regard to various laws concerning individuals with disabilities and the use of assistance animals on campus, including university housing.
The number and nature of the changes eventually led to the entire policy being rewritten.
In the proposed policy, the term "assistance animal" refers to service and support animals on campus, but there are discrepancies in terms between service and support animals' access to the university.
The policy defines service animals as "any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or their mental disability." The dog's work must be directly related to the person's disability.
A support animal is defined in the policy as "an animal that provides emotional or other support that ameliorates one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person's disability." Support animals, unlike service animals, are not required to be trained to perform work or other tasks. They can include species other than dogs.
Per the proposed policy, service animals are permitted to accompany people in all areas of a campus, and support animals are generally not allowed to accompany their owner on all areas of campus. However, they are allowed to live in university housing.
The animals' owners may make a special request to have their support animal accompany them to other areas on campus on a case-by-case basis.

Moira Quirk grew up in Rutland, England but has lived in America long
enough that she no longer uses the words "fortnight" or "naff." When
not wrangling her two daughters and husband Michael, she is a
voiceover artist (teens and college kids may remember her as Mo, the
referee of Nickelodeon's Guts and Global Guts). She has been heard in
numerous audiobooks, CD-roms and commercials and, lately, on the
cartoons My Life as a Teenage Robot, Stroker and Hoop, The Wild
Thornberrys Movie, Steamboy and What's New Scooby Doo, where she got
to say the immortal "you meddling kids" line. Life is pretty good.
R.M. Johnson is a screenwriter, playwright and poet. He has told
stories all his life, and most of the time his parents never caught
Lauri Fraser has been doing voiceovers for the past umpteen years,
and you can currently hear her as the voice of Jane Jetson advertising
Dove hair care and Electrasol, as well as on the cartoons Johnny
Bravo, Superman, Cow and Chicken and I Am Weasel and A Boy named Q,
among others. In between doing voiceovers and writing stories, she has
built a career as a hairdresser and at this point is still available
to do your hair at her salon in Beverly Hills. She blends her own
aromatherapy products, one of which is a great mosquito repellent! She
loves telling stories at the StorySalon and is very excited to have
you read hers.
Joseph Dougherty's plays have been performed at Manhattan Theatre
Club and at Lincoln Center. His Emmy winning work in television
includes the groundbreaking series thirtysomething and several movies
for HBO. He is the creator of Handwritten Theatre, downloadable drama
available at http://handwrittentheatre.blogspot.com. His first book,
Comfort and Joi, is available at Amazon.com.
Jessica Bern has been a successful commercial actress for the last six
years. She has been a spokesperson for companies such as Wendy's,

a variety of other products such as Home Depot and Campbell's. Jessica
has written and performed three solo shows, one of which was staged at
the HBO Workspace. She is presently enrolled in the UCLA Professional
Screenwriting program and looks forward to a future filled with words.
Lastly, she would like to thank her daughter Phoebe for giving her
strength and courage and imbuing her with a new love of life.
Howard Leff is a freelance writer living in Los Angeles. His columns
have appeared in the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune's
"RedEye" edition. Howard often refers to himself in the third person,
much to the dismay of his readers. http://www.howardleff.com
Mary Kennedy is a professional comic and actress, she has been on
NBC's ER as Officer Trudy Lange. She just hosted the pilot Breaking
In for Spike Television. In addition, she is a regular at the Laugh
Factory and warm-up comic for the live game show Who's King of the

and has performed stand-up all over California. As one of the
producers of StorySalon, he co-produced The Mario Sessions CD and is
the author of What Does Not Kill Me Hurts for a Real Long Time. Visit
him at DanFarren.com. Use the password "weizen in mein hosen."
The best way to get inside Cathy Ladman's head is to see her live. As
one of the country's top comedians, Ladman's show is a self-probing,
anxiety-venting vehicle, which draws laughter from exposing personal
neurosis. She has not only appeared on The Tonight Show nine times,
but was also the only female comic to appear on the last two Johnny
Carson Tonight Show Anniversary shows. Cathy has had her own HBO One
Night Stand comedy special and, in 1992, was awarded the American
Comedy Award for Best Female Stand Up Comic. A native New Yorker, now
living in Los Angeles, Cathy is successfully pursuing an acting career
in television and film. Her film credits include roles in White
Oleander, What Planet Are You From? My Fellow Americans, and Don't
Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead. Her numerous television pilots include
Caroline in the City, in which she had a recurring role. She appeared
regularly on ABC's Politically Incorrect and Comedy Central's Dr.
Katz: Professional Therapist. She has guest starred in many sitcoms,
among them Fox's Titus and CBS's Everybody Loves Raymond. Cathy's
comedy focuses on family, growing up, relationships, and real life
from a very personal perspective. The Los Angeles Times put it best
"… Ladman has such clever, well-written material and such a breezy,
unassuming delivery that it would be easy to overlook just how good
she is: Her act seems effortless." Currently, she is working on a new
solo show, entitled, Does This Show Make Me Look Fat?
Bill Sperling has been one of StorySalon's "go-to"
writer/performers for more than five years. One of the first to launch
a solo performance piece, Danger H2O, from material created at the
Salon, his stories run the gamut from collegiate high-jinks to
semi-somber warnings about life in the legal profession, always
delivered with wit and panache.
Donna Allen Figueroa is an actor. Her acting has taken her from her
native Cincinnati, Ohio to Los Angeles via Boston, Chicago, London,
and NYC. Donna's professional credits include principle roles on the
soaps Days of Our Lives and General Hospital. She guest starred with
Robert Guillaume on The Robert Guillaume Show, and was the sultry
voice of Ballantine Ale. Donna also lends her voice to many animated
characters, and has appeared in several television commercials.
Theater credits include several L.A. productions (including readers
and Radio Theater), and a season with Chicago's famed Free Street
Theater. Donna earned her bachelors in Acting and Speech from Emerson
College in Boston, and has continued her training at NYC's Circle in
the Square, and at Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
Donna credits the StorySalon with allowing her to stretch as both a
performer and writer. She is a chronic shopper, always in search of
the ultimate bargain. Donna lives in the Hollywood Hills with her
husband Tony. Together Donna and Tony tell stories. Many can be heard
on their podcast at guesswhoscomingtoblog.blogspot.com.
Ellen Cox lives in the Los Angeles area with her two teenage children.
She is busy finishing her college education, working in Special
Education with Los Angeles Unified School District and pursuing her
acting career. She can presently be seen in an Emerald Nuts commercial
driving various husbands in an old Toyota car, which she swears was
hers at one time. A chatty person, her children and friends are
thrilled that she has found an outlet on Wednesday nights at the Story
Still looking for home, Shelley-Anne Wooderson lived in 33 houses, and
changed countries 10 times. Since becoming a StorySalon member over
5 years ago she found the courage to submit her work to publishers.
Last year her book "Los Angeles by Stroller" which outlines the 100 or
so places she and her preschool kids explored while living in L.A. was
published. She plans to keep writing, and keep moving.
Shelby Lee Jenkins moved to Los Angeles in May 2003 in her constant
search for sunshine. Her motto since she has arrived has been "Every
day this town makes me laugh is one more day to stay."
Frances Peach began a career at sixteen as an international fashion
model. This followed an interesting assortment of television, film,
and theatre. Her favorite re-occurring roles were The Odd Couple,
Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. These were followed by many guest
starring roles for television, numerous feature films an theatre roles
in Florida, Vancouver and Los Angeles. She still enjoys doing
commercials and film. She is married to John Huneck, a director of
photography, and his career has taken them to many countries, even
living in those countries for short periods of time. In her spare
time, Frances is a realtor and also has an animal rescue service. She
enjoys "finding the perfect house" for clients. Frances has been with
the StorySalon almost since the very beginning, and gives great
thanks to its founder and producer, Beverly Mickins, who is also a
dear personal friend.
Libbe S. HaLevy is a Certified Life Action Coach who works nationally
with writers. She's also the librettist of NOW, VOYAGER: The Musical,

Judi Lee Brandwein started her career in improv, graduating from The
Second City and performing in clubs and schools around Chicago; then
on to theatre, mostly comedies, and for the past twenty years has been
a successful commercial actress selling everything from beer to baby
products. Six years ago she became a founding member of The Chicago
StoryTellers where she first began telling dating stories. For the
past year she has been performing a copulation of these stories in her
one-woman show, Fornicationally Challenged.
Paula P. Small is a writer of tall tales, short stories and poetry of
all sizes. Woman's Corner Magazine's December 2005 issue featured her
flash fiction story Lucky Karma. She was a registered poet and "soft
slam" participant at the Austin International Poetry Festival 2006.
You can find her spoken poetry on the Cloudy Day Art and the Slam Idol
Podcasts, as well as her written poetry, stories and everyday
ramblings on her 'blog "Brickstin" (http://www.xanga.com/Sankofa212).
Normally talkative, words fail the Scorpion scribe to express her
gratitude to the StorySalon. However, she thanks her family and
friends for continued encouragement and support. She dedicates this
story to her family and West Indian roots.
Paul Jacek received his theatre training at the American Academy of
Dramatic Arts. A regular at the World Famous Comedy Store on Sunset
Blvd, Paul is seen weekly at the hip StorySalon in Studio City,
California. His one-man-show Secrets of a Beverly Hills Shampoo Boy
ran for a year in Los Angeles, and is in development as an independent

Marsha Lenox would like to thank her amazing daughter, Skylar, for
accepting her quirks and neuroses with a grace, magnanimity, and
compassion that belie her tender years. Marsha would also like to
thank the lovely producers of StorySalon for their efforts in putting
this book together and for providing, week after week, a space where
she and other storytellers/writers can share their work and their
lives. Marsha has been regaling others with stories, onstage and off,
for many, many years. However, once her story of her family's cattle
ranch in Texas—a saga which enthralled her fellow third graders at
Pompano Beach Elementary for months—was exposed as a complete
fabrication by her unwitting little brother, Michael, she learned the
importance of distinguishing between fact and fantasy. Her story "The
Next Heifetz" is in fact, fact.
Suzee Seeds. As an executive secretary at the Walt Disney Studios, I
am constantly reminded of the rich history of artistry and imagination
that surrounds me daily. Directly behind my building is the stage that
holds what I consider to be one of the keystones of the studio's
history, because this was the stage where the Mickey Mouse Club was
filmed. This is where my dream of performing was born. Oh, to be
singing, dancing and telling stories alongside Annette, Bobby, Jimmy
and Darlene, the Mouseketeers. I began pursuing my dream during my
junior and senior years of high school at the local Junior Civic
theater in Portland, Oregon, where I performed in children's theater.
Then I went on to college studies and acting at the University of
Washington, in Seattle. I continued to act in local musical theater
and was even lucky enough to snag a few commercials before my move to
Los Angeles, where I have continued my passion for performing by
landing a couple of bit parts on TV. The past few years I've branched
out to stand-up comedy. As yet, it hasn't brought me a steady income,
and I'm still waiting for my secret inheritance to kick in, where ever
it may be. In the meantime, I am very grateful for my current
administrative assignment at the studio, where I am surrounded by an
incredible creative life force. However, I have discovered another
incredible life force, the StorySalon, a wonderful, nurturing
environment encouraging each and every storyteller to express
themselves and their imagination, and to not be afraid. ENJOY!!!!
Richard Tanner has written for Esquire, Vogue, The Village Voice, The
New York Daily News, Video Times, a game show, a cable talk show, and
has completed the requisite number of unproduced screenplays, as per
California Civil Code, section 38-41. In his spare time, he's
guest-starred in well-over a baker's dozen television shows, had small
parts in big movies, and big parts in small ones.
Clay Bravo always knew that she was a storyteller, because by the time she was
in kindergarten, she was already putting desks together, and standing on them to
tell stories…when no one asked her to. By the time she was eight, she
was spending part of the year "on the road." But since she wasn't allowed to leave
the block, she had to constantly think of new stories. She was voted "Most Likely to
Look Like the Cowardly Lion" by her senior class, and was 2nd Runner
Up for the title of Miss Chunky Wisconsin 1974. A veteran of numerous
national TV-ad campaigns, she can be seen, most recently, in the 2004
big-screen remake of Bewitched. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1936273/
Paul Candice has been telling stories at StorySalon in Studio City,
California for the past four years. He has done stand-up for close to
a decade in and around L.A. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri. Paul
came to L.A. to pursue an acting career. Currently he is working in

Skylar Lenox, born to a life of privilege and mirth, began her writing
at the tender age of three. At the age of five she self-published her
first book, a fictional account of one girl's journey through the
Holocaust. Since her first book, she has been a featured writer in

attend. Luckily, StorySalon was not the torture she once imagined it
would be and, after a year and a half of watching others, she climbed
the stage and told her first story. Other than writing, Skylar enjoys
watching people in pain and laugh, mostly at StorySalon.

This water-based eye serum has a thin, gel-like texture that will leave anyone with dryness around the eye area wanting more. The argireline ingredient it contains cannot and does not work like Botox does when it is injected into wrinkles around the eye. It may seem impressive that the company included 10% of this peptide (also known as acetyl hexapeptide-3), but at any concentration this doesn't work like Botox. Also included is an "optimum percentage" of DMAE, which the company maintains is brilliant for firming skin. That's not what the research has shown, nor is there a definitive percentage needed for the best results. DMAE, also known as dimethylaminoethanol, is controversial because research has shown it offers short-term benefits for skin followed by a sequence of decreased cell growth; in some cases, cell growth stops altogether, which isn't good. There is no proof that DMAE is a "premier" anti-aging ingredient. More research on the topical use of DMAE is needed before any cosmetics company can honestly make that boast (Sources: Pharmazie, December 2009, pages 818–822; Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, November–December 2007, pages 711–718; and The British Journal of Dermatology, March 2007, pages 433–439). The amount of the controversial ingredient DMAE in this eye serum and the inclusion of potentially irritating plant extracts is what keeps this from earning a Good rating.
Okusil is specially formulated with 10% Argireline to remove the "Crows Feet" or Squinting Lines next to the eye or the lines that form under the eye. Firming is essential for the eye area. Okusil has the optimum percentage of "DMAE" which is widely known in the skin care industry as a premier Firming agent. When Okusil is applied below the brow line it lifts and tightens the skin that can sag above the eye lid. Thus relieving the hooded look that can occur from loose skin hanging over the eye lid itself.
Demineralized Spring Water, Argireline, Aloe Vera Gel, Glycerine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, DMAE Bitartrate, Soluble Collagen, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Polysorbate-20, Seaweed Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben, Mallow Extract, Ivy Extract, Cucumber Extract, Sambucus Extract, Arnica Extract, Simethicone.
Janson-Beckett Cosmeceuticals At-A-Glance
Strengths: Janson-Beckett provides complete ingredient lists on their Web site.
Weaknesses: Expensive; repetitive formulas with different claims; cleanser and toner contain potent irritants; irritating lip plumper and anti-cellulite product; the sole sunscreen option does not list active ingredients; many products contain the controversial ingredient DMAE; few options for normal to oily skin; no options for those struggling with wrinkles and acne; the company doesn't consistently follow FDA regulations for ingredient disclosure (listing trade names instead of the actual ingredients, an all-too-common occurrence).
As you may have guessed from this brand's name, their claim to fame is the intriguing yet murky category of products called cosmeceuticals. Neither the FDA nor any other cosmetic regulatory board in the world recognize "cosmeceuticals" as having any special status. It is purely a marketing term used by many skin-care companies, especially companies whose products are sold or endorsed by dermatologists (as Janson-Beckett is), to give the impression that their products have more effective or more biologically active ingredients than ordinary cosmetics. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Despite the medical slant, anyone can, and many do, slap this cosmeceutical label on their products to promote them as being more "medical." Even the FDA says cosmeceuticals don't exist, and considers these products merely cosmetics with clever marketing language attached (Source: www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ProductandIngredientSafety/ProductInformation/ucm127064.htm).
Although you can ignore Janson-Beckett's cosmeceutical angle, you may still be wondering if they offer the cutting-edge anti-aging products they boast about. The answer is that this line offers more cutting-edge hokey claims than they do cutting-edge products. These products are sold with some of the most outlandish claims you're likely to encounter and, true to form, almost none of the claims are supported by published, peer-reviewed research.
Janson-Beckett's main claim to fame (all self-promoted) is that they were an "early entrant" into the topical-alternative-to-Botox market. They emphasize peptide acetyl hexapeptide-3, otherwise known as argireline, which is the most commonly used peptide in many of the sham skin-care products claiming to work like Botox. The issue is that if acetyl hexapeptide-3 really worked to relax facial muscles, it would work all over the face (assuming you're using the products as directed). If all the muscles in your face were relaxed, you'd have sagging, not youthful, skin, not to mention that it also would affect your hand (you apply it with your fingers), which would prevent you from picking up a cup or holding the steering wheel of your car.
Despite all the fears about Botox espoused by companies featuring this peptide in their "works-like-Botox" products, there is considerably more efficacy, usage, and safety documentation available for Botox.
Moreover, there is a clinical study showing that acetyl hexapeptid-3 does not work in any manner like Botox in reducing wrinkles (Sources: www.cremedevie.com/clinical_details.htm; and International Journal of Cosmetic Science, October 2002). It is also interesting to note that even Botox when applied topically on skin has no impact on the skin or muscles in any way, shape, or form! (Source: Cosmetic Dermatology, July 2005, pages 521–524). In fact, there is no research showing that it works at all when applied topically.
Even more shocking is that Janson-Beckett doesn't offer a single reliable option for sun protection. We can't imagine that the people behind this brand are oblivious to the pernicious aging influence that years of unprotected sun exposure has on our skin, but they seemingly couldn't be bothered to offer SPF-rated products with active ingredients capable of protecting skin from the ultraviolet damage that leads to wrinkles, discolorations, and sagging, among other undesirable results. They'll go on for pages about the "clinically proven" anti-aging ingredients in their products, but really, how seriously can an informed consumer take this brand when they can't even get the issue of sun protection right? Add to that the disingenuous UV protection claims they make for some of their products, and the ethics of Janson-Beckett become even more suspect. All told, considering this line's problems and high price point, we cannot come up with a legitimate reason to recommend any of their products over countless others.

well, i havent been married to a dominican man OR woman but growing up this was the usual scenario: loyal, martyr housekeeper/wife who held down the entire household vs. often abusive, unfaithful, tyrant of a husband. thats not to say it didnt vary but that was the general gist of the countless couples i came across.
therefore i hold the same views: there are more decent dominican women than dominican men due to our cultures machismo. this doesnt mean all dominican men are bad or that all dominican women are good...just that the scales are definitely tipped due to the common man/woman dynamics.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The University of New Mexico women's tennis team closed out their regular season with a 7-0 victory over Air Force on Saturday, taking a four match winning streak into next week's Mountain West Championship.
"I am incredibly proud of this young team," interim head coach Kelcy McKenna said. "We came out ready to compete and played some very solid tennis. These young ladies have put in a lot of hard work over the past two weeks and it certainly showed in today's match."
Saturday's perfect sweep of the Falcons was long overdue, as the Lobos had not defeated AFA since 2009.
After an intense hour of doubles competition, the Lobos came out with the point. Freshmen duo Rachana Bhat and Susan Baklini recorded an 8-3 win the in the No. 3 spot to give UNM a slight lead, but the No. 1 and No. 2 courts were tightly contested the whole way throughout. Misa Bezdickova and Lizette Blankers pulled off an 8-6 victory over AFA's Natasha Rizvi and Mary Meyers to seal the deal for the Lobos. Natasha Smith's and Dominique Dulski's match was at 7-6 when it was called.
The Lobos gained an early lead in singles play and never looked back. Meredith Hopson was the first off the court. She won her first set 6-1 and then her opponent retired due to an injury.
Dulski tallied the third win for the Lobos and Smith clinched the match with win in the No. 4 spot.
Bezdickova and Blankers finished simultaneously and gave UNM a 6-0 edge. Bezdickova, the only senior on the roster, recorded her tenth singles win of the season in her final home match as a Lobo.
Bhat finished the match with one more UNM victory to give the Lobo's the perfect sweep. Her win in the No. 6 position extended her singles winning streak to thirteen matches and allowed her to go undefeated in the regular season.
The Lobos will head to the MW Tournament with a final regular season record of 15-7, 4-1.
It was a successful Senior Day match for Bezdickova and graduating junior Susanna Kuuttila. Both Lobos were honored before the match.
Result: UNM def. Air Force, 7-0
Doubles Results:
1) Bezdickova/Blankers (UNM) def. Rizvi/Meyers (AFA), 8-6
2) Smith/Dulski (UNM) && Tran/ L. Forlini (AFA) – UNFINISHED
