Brian and Holly made us feel like at home! They had always time for a chat and were very helpful in planning our trips. The house is great, has a great view and we felt very relaxed. We defenitely will come back and highly recommend it to everyone else!
Brian and Holly are some of the friendliest hosts we have every met. They made us feel right at home and was incredibly helpful in everything from providing area history to suggesting things to do. Their dogs are incredibly friendly and the rooms are clean and comfy. The property is filled with fruit trees and easily accessible as a base for day trips. We would certainly recommend this house to our friends.
Brian and Holly are a wonderful couple. I enjoyed staying at there place 3 nights. Holly makes a very nice breakfast every morning and willing to accommodate early risers like myself.
We had a great 9 day stay at tiki wa' Brian and Holly had great local information. Holly's breakfasts are wonderful she made sure we had everything we needed :)
Lovey place. The hosts (and their pets) were very welcoming, kind and cook a mean breakfast. You'll have a room in a lovely, large house that has good views out across the Kona coffee highlands to the ocean.
Brian and Holly were generous and friendly hosts! We immediately felt welcomed by their warm home and demeanor. They even upgraded us for no additional charge!
Their pets Kona, koa, mango and sue were also super friendly. We were welcomed by warm tiki lights, a beautiful home and room. Breakfast, a delicious spinach quiche was included with plenty of Kona coffee. We met interesting travelers from around the world here, two of them where getting married the next day! Very exciting! We opted to do laundry for 5$ extra which was worth it. Overall a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend!
Spent one night in Brian and Holly's B&B. They are very nice hosts and the location is fantastic.
This host has 107 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews

Below is the poem entitled Groomed Betrayal which was written by poet
Hilliker. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Kim Hilliker
I was not the bastard son with whom
You struggled to survive
I was the second child of a first marriage
Whom you opted to deprive.
He was the emotional one
Always taking mommy's hand
I was the strong one often
Pretending to understand
"He needs me more than you do,"
Are the words that you would mutter
As you carefully groomed my nemesis
Instead of being my mother
Long drives, you used to take
To clothe him in OP Wear
While taking me to Goodwill,
And I knew it wasn't fair
You begged him to come with you
When you filed for divorce
While leaving me with an empty house,
Showing no remorse
Years later we connected when I
Didn't hate you so much
Nothing really changed; for, you
Still lacked a mother's touch
You made him elaborate meals
in a house so very grand
And proceeded to make excuses
Expecting me again to understand
When you died, it was I who found
You lying on the floor
Because I was the strong one,
Like you said before
The chosen one sold your property
While seemingly not so sad
While I cried for a week straight
For the mother I never had.

When you say, "for the duration of his employment contract," does it mean two-year contract for OFWs in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or the phrase may mean more than two years if the work contract has called for it? Please enlighten us as there is an OFW who came from KSA inflicted with lung cancer which started from accident where his chest/lung was severely affected.

Hi, good afternoon, I'm Ely Rose Balderama, an OFW here in Malaysia. I just want to inquire and refer to you the situation of my OFW friend here. Her daughter was biten by a poisonous snake, they are living in the Province, right now her daughter was confined in the hospital. Her doctors says that she have to complete the anti-venum antidote to fight the snake venum in her body. Another thing was, the doctor already informed them the 50-50% chance rate of their daughter but my friend, Ate Dories Fernandezwas still hoping against odds, her employeer allowed her to go back home but she was thinking that instead of going home, she will just send the money for the medication of her loving daughter.
In conncetion to her situation, I just want to know if she can avail some of your benefits/programs. I hope you can help me with this. I'm really afraid to what might happen to her 14 year old daughter if she won't be able to complete the anti-venum treatment.
Thank you so much in advance and more power…God Bless…

I just would like to inquire about the benefits of my deceased father , who used to be an OFW. He is an OFW since 1985 and his last contract was in Khartoum, Sudan From years 2002 to December 2011. He also an OFW OWWA Registered on August 2011.
However sometimes in October to December 2011 during his stay and work in said country, he got sick and was hospitalized and underwent medical procedure in Khartoum until he decided to come home here in the Philippines on same month of December 2011 since he can no longer work. Likewise, days after coming home, he was confined and hospitalized.
After a year of fighting for his sickness, he passed away on December 2012.
Since he was an OWWA member during the time he was hospitalized in Khartoum Sudan, is he entitled for a health benefit or the like coming from OWWA and can we his beneficiaries can still claim his benefits since it is only now that my sister was able to look for his OWWA membership?
All of his hospital certificates to include that from Khartoum Sudan is still on hand.

My first experience here was just OK, so I gave it another try - I will not be going back. The food is decent though overpriced, but what really ruins it is the rude waitstaff. There are many other restaurants in this neighborhood with better food and far better service.
Posted by DaveF on 03/08/2009
We have eaten here a few times, and the food is OK. Our problem is that they have a history of delivering the wrong food, and then telling us we ordered it. Rude, pricey, and ordinary food - not worth it. Far better options in the UES.

Whoever wrote about the prices of the salads should try ordering one of them! The salads are HUGE and enough for a party. They are fresh and delicious. The eggplant parm is incredibly light and all the seafood pastas were excellent. My family and I go regularly and have never had the slightest mistep in service or quality of food. We even had a recent party for 16 and people who were first timers there were blown away by the great service for a party of that size.

Our favorite delivery when we really want good Italian. The pastas and entres always arrive hot. Whenever I call i am greeted by name and have a brief conversation with the GENTLEMAN who takes the orders. A big plus when we eat at the resturant is the large wine glasses. can you tell we love this place.

The very good: Josephine's Eggplant parm and linquine with white clam sauce... plus the generous portions of food in general The good: calzone (haven't had their pizza yet but I hear good things from folks I respect) and tiramisu The bad: The price of the salads are prohibitive -- the same price or even more than the half appetizers and entrees... I'm not

Got a large pepperoni pizza delivered. First the negatives, it was kinda small for a large and a little pricey (around $21 before tip). They could have also used a little more cheese and sauce (but I wouldn't go as far to say that they skimped out on it). Now the good, the crust and dough was fantastic and all the ingredients were top notch really. The delivery was really fast for a sunday night. So, better quality but smaller portions. I'd order from them again.

LIVE BLOG: Duke vs. NC State
92-78 Duke, Final: Well folks, this one is in the books. Check tomorrow's paper for a full story and analysis of tonight's game.
84-71 Duke, 3:06 remaining in the second half: Seth Curry just fouled out. Just indicative of how tightly this one has been called around the perimeter.
82-70 Duke, 3:56 remaining in the second half:
Well, it seems I may have been writing about the wrong Plumlee all night. Sure, Mason has five blocks and seven boards (all of which came in the first half, it should be noted), but his older brother is just one rebound away from a double-double. His 13 points and nine rebounds have come exceptionally quietly, but their importance likely can't be overstated. Having that kind of inside presence has been crucial during such a poor shooting night by Smith (who has 18 points despite 7-of-17 shooting) and Singler.
77-66 Duke, 4:54 remaining in the second half:
Eight points for NC State, sandwiched by three-pointers by Ryan Harrow and Scott Wood brought the crowd here at the RBC Center to its loudest level of the game, but a huge—and deep—three by Singler silenced them yet again.
70-58 Duke, 7:27 remaining in the second half: Lots of made shots over the last four minutes, with each squad holding serve as the game nears the stretch run. C.J. Leslie had what was likely the game's most electrifying moment, going around several Duke defenders before finishing in the lane with a thunderous dunk.
63-50 Duke, 11:05 remaining in the second half: Somehow Mason Plumlee just picked up his first foul of the game; that's the kind of well-positioned defense he has been playing all night. Smith is starting to drive to the hole much more effectively, opening up shots for his teammates all over the floor. Still, though, Singler and Smith are a combined 9-for-28 from the floor, with most of those makes coming in the first half.
52-46 Duke, 14:48 remaining in the second half: Sidney Lowe sure drew up some nice plays to get NC State some easy looks on the inside here to start the second half. They've been drawing Mason Plumlee out towards the corner, and then working the ball inside to exploit the other interior defenders. Duke's offense has devolved into hoisting contested threes without a lot of passing. The Blue Devils are now 3-17 from downtown on the night, and haven't made a trey since 8:15 remained in the first half.
44-37 Duke, 17:47 remaining in the second half: NC State went into a full-court press following the timeout, leading to a quick steal. Mason Plumlee rose about 14 feet to block the alley-oop try, but an offensive rebound gave the Wolfpack another easy bucket.
44-35 Duke, 18:12 remaining in the second half: A quick start to the second half by NC State has the Wolfpack fan base in a tizzy and Coach K burning his first timeout. Ryan Kelly made a jumper on the first Blue Devil possession, but six unanswered points by NC State have Duke looking for answers.
42-28 Duke, Halftime: Complementing Mason nicely under the hoop has been Ryan Kelly, who racked up five rebounds and two blocks in the half.
Here are some pretty interesting halftime stats:
Field goal percentages: Duke 50.0% on 15-of-30 shooting, NC State 21.6% on 8-37 shooting.
NC State has 11 offensive rebounds to Duke's five.
Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly have combined for seven blocks, the Wolfpack have none.
42-27 Duke, 1:25 remaining in the first half: My apologies for neglecting to mention that part of the Blue Devils' defensive success can be attributed to the 2-3 zone they've been running since the middle of the half. NC State has insisted on continuing to work the ball inside, leading to altered or blocked shots, largely.
37-26 Duke, 3:54 remaining in the first half: Kyle Singler has had a tough night thus far, shooting just 1-for-7 on mostly-open looks. Mason has been everywhere on defense with five blocked shots and a batted-down inbound pass, along with five rebounds, to his name. For the Wolfpack, C.J. Leslie and Tracy Smith, the team's top two scorers, are a combined 3-for-12.
33-22 Duke, 7:01 remaining in the first half: Well, if there's anything downside to the way the Blue Devils have played thus far, it's that nothing they do will get much better than this. The team is shooting over 60% and has seen scoring from eight different players. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack is shooting a woeful 26.9% from the floor, having to hoist shots from all around the outside because of Duke's suffocating interior defense. The game is not even as close as the score indicates, but an overzealous officiating crew has put both teams at the foul line with regularity.
27-16 Duke, 9:17 remaining in the first half: The Blue Devils have already sent nine players to the court, including Hairston, Curry, Miles Plumlee and Tyler Thornton. But it's working, and Dawkins is proving he belongs in the starting lineup: 8 points without missing a shot.
13-12 Duke, 11:32 remaining in the first half: During the last timeout it appeared that NC State had more coaches than players on the floor to discuss strategy, but it's hard to fault their methods after watching them over the last few minutes. The Wolfpack were just a missed fast break layup away from tying the game at 11 before a Mason Plumlee putback dunk extended the lead to four. But, Scott Wood's first make from downtown has the crowd in a tizzy—and NC State just one point behind—but Seth Curry will shoot three foul shots after the timeout.
Quick look at stats: Duke is outrebounding the Wolfpack 14-7, and Smith has three turnovers already. But the younger Plumlee has three blocks and four rebounds, and is controlling the paint.
11-3 Duke, 15:01 remaining in the first half: Dawkins and Singler added buckets for the Blue Devils to extend the lead early. The Wolfpack offense has been entirely ineffective so far. Scott Wood has missed several threes, and C.J. Leslie has been able to get nothing going on the inside. Josh Hairston and the elder Plumlee checked in around the 16-minute mark.
Easy block call on Singler; Leslie will shoot two on the other side of the first TV timeout.
7-2 Duke, 16:44 remaining in the first half: Wolfpack coach Sidney Lowe is rocking his signature red blazer, but to no avail thus far for NC State. Mason Plumlee has recorded two blocks on Duke's first two defensive sets, and five points from Dawkins has Duke up early. Quick side note: Javier Gonzalez is listed at 6' 0", but he's at least three inches shorter than that.
Pregame: Welcome all to the RBC Center near the campus of NC State for tonight's matchup between the Blue Devils and Wolfpack.
We'll get right to it, here are the starting lineups:
Nolan Smith, G
Andre Dawkins, G
Kyle Singler, F
Ryan Kelly, F
Mason Plumlee, F
NC State
Lorenzo Brown, G
C.J. Leslie, F
Scott Wood, F
Javier Gonzalez, G
Tracy Smith, F
No surprises here besides Dawkins getting the start over Seth Curry. The move isn't entirely surprising considering Dawkins' hot shooting hand, but we'll see if the sophomore can keep that going tonight.
A mathcup to watch will be Kyle Singler matching up against Wolfpack freshman C.J. Leslie, who has already won ACC Rookie of the Week honors three times.

The Vermont State Police in Williston are investigating an incident that occurred on Route 7 (Ethan Allen Highway) near the intersection of Lime Kiln Road in the Town of Charlotte June 6, shortly before noon.
Marcia Sprigg, age 54, from New Haven, and Jessie Sprigg, age 26, from Burlington, were traveling together in a vehicle, southbound on Route 7. At the time Sprigg was operating the vehicle a green, 1998, SAAB 900 bearing Vermont registration EFG538. Sprigg was a passenger in the vehicle. The two became involved in a verbal confrontation inside the vehicle. The verbal confrontation escalated when Sprigg struck Jessie Sprigg in the face. A physical altercation then continued outside the vehicle along Route 7.
This encounter continued over a period of several minutes along Route 7. During the encounter, Sprigg reportedly operated her vehicle along Route 7 in a negligent manner with her son, Ryan Sprigg, age 25, partially in the vehicle and grandson, Cameron Sprigg, age 5, still in the vehicle. Marcia Sprigg also caused minor damage to a residential mailbox when her vehicle struck the mail box while turning around on Route 7. During this incident Marcia Sprigg also reportedly drove her vehicle within close proximity of Jessie Sprigg, on two separate occasions, causing her to fear for her life.
During the incident Jessie Sprigg was able to call 911 from her mobile phone. Shelburne Police and the Vermont State Police responded to this incident.
Marcia Sprigg sustained minor injuries to her arms, hand and upper chest. Jessie Sprigg had a torn shirt with no visible injuries, although she complained of minor pain at the time of the assault.

ETS Developing National Pre-Service Assessment for Teacher Candidates
Missouri, Hawaii sign on to develop more effective teachers
- Contact:
- Jason Baran
- Jason Baran
Princeton, N.J. (June 6, 2013) —
To aid states in assessing the instructional capability of its teacher candidates prior to receiving a license, Educational Testing Service (ETS) is developing a performance-based assessment designed to identify candidates' strengths and weaknesses, contribute to a development plan for professional growth, and develop more effective teachers in the classroom.
Last month Missouri signed a three-year contract with ETS for a customized version of the assessment, while Hawaii has recently agreed to use the national model.
The Praxis™ Pre-Service Portfolio, being developed in collaboration with 16 states, can be used by schools to determine the best fit for teacher candidates and by states to align success measurement with local and national standards including InTASC and the Common Core State Standards. In addition, it can be used to assess all new teachers whether they enter the profession through traditional or alternate routes. Candidates also gain an advantage from developing their professional portfolios, with an advisor, while in their programs instead of spending weeks putting one together after their programs end.
ETS Vice President and COO of Teacher Licensure & Certification Programs George Powell said, "The Common Core State Standards have focused attention on the need to ensure that teacher candidates understand and know how to implement the elements of effective teaching. More and more, education leaders in states are calling for pre-certification assessments that reflect these elements of effective teaching. Our performance assessment is designed to answer this call."
Powell further explained that ETS's evidence-centered approach to developing the performance assessment tasks builds the elements of effective teaching, as embodied in the InTASC Standards, into the test design itself. By embedding these formative and summative assessment tasks into a candidate's clinical experience as a student teacher, a more complete picture of that candidate's potential in the classroom emerges. The artifacts (including a video of the candidate teaching) and reflections that comprise the tasks are all easily and seamlessly submitted through an end-to-end electronic platform, allowing the assessment to complement rather than interrupt the clinical experience.
The performance assessments — developed to help candidates relate instruction to student learning — make up an extensive exit examination that leverages a candidate's student-teaching experience. The exit examination consists of four tasks: one formative and three summative. Task One gives focus to the beginning steps of student teaching. Task Two focuses on assessment and the use of data collection to measure and inform student learning. Task Three focuses on instruction and technology. Task Four addresses a variety of standards while demonstrating a candidate's ability to use research-based instructional strategies, adapt instruction for individual needs and reflect on practice. This final task includes a 15-minute video of the candidate teaching a lesson.
The professional growth plan component — the Professional Competency Profile — is created after completion of the four tasks and identifies areas for professional development that candidates can use when entering the teaching workforce.

'Born to be Wild' wraps up Indonesian expedition this Wednesday
Finale of "Komodo Kingdom" and "Sumatra's Last Man-Eater"
Wednesday, January 30
Last week, Doc Nielsen Donato and his team chanced upon a natural event which, according to island rangers, has been sought by filmmakers from around the globe – a wild Komodo Dragon preying on a deer. Timor deer are part of the dragon's main diet, and this moment captured by the Born team on camera only shows the Komodo's fierceness as the island's apex or top predator.
But this wasn't always the case for the famous dragons. In the 1980s, they were declared critically endangered. Volcanic activity and the destruction of forests drove away the deer, in turn threatening the Komodo's survival. But after decades of conservation efforts and the declaration of a National Park, the Komodo Dragon has regained its numbers and is back to being king of the island. In this exciting finale, Doc Nielsen Donato and a team of park rangers measure and record the largest dragon they can find.
There is no doubt that Sumatran Tigers are fierce enough to harm, even kill, people. Doc Ferds Recio came face to face with a "man-eater" in a park safari in West Java, Indonesia. Even inside an enclosure, where the "man-eater" Bimu remains, the tiger still shows his wild instincts.
Humans are not part of the tiger's natural diet in the wild. But because of habitat loss brought about by the conversion of forests to plantations, there is now greater proximity between tigers and humans, causing deadly encounters on both sides. The illegal wildlife trade has also put a strain on the now critically endangered tiger population. Doc Ferds Recio's team accompanies WWF-Indonesia as they study the bahavior of wild tigers. Using camera traps, they are attempting to find out whether the endangered animal is still reproducing naturally in the wild. During their survey, Doc Ferds Recio and the team spot tiger paw prints on the ground, and a glimpse of the all too familiar black stripes. Could it be a wild tiger cub caught on camera?
Don't miss the finale of "Komodo Kingdom" and "Sumatra's Last Man-eater" on BORN TO BE WILD this Wednesday, after Saksi!

I'm a bit shy til you get to know me, then I open up and you discover that I'm my own special brand of 'normal'. I'm an amateur (ham) radio operator and slowly attempting to learn mores code. I love being outdoors with or without my camera. It took me weeks to find 3 pictures of myself because I'm usually the one behind the camera. I enjoy playing darts and pool, even though I'm not to great at either one. Water is one of my great relaxers, I love to be near it. I like to swim or just lounge around the pool.
If I could go back in time, I'd figure out how to stay fit and join the air force (reserves I think?) so I could be in the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron and fly through hurricanes and other storms. I'd like to one day go storm spotting in tornado alley and be some of the eyes in the field for the NWS, although I can do that (to an extent) right here.
I love languages. One day I would love to be able to say that: 'I'm fluent in German, Czech, Ukrainian, Russian, and Japanese.' That hasn't happened yet.
I also crochet, knit, and cross-stitch.

Starry Night
Starry Night
Every August, when the Earth passes through a stream of space debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle, the Perseid meteor shower is sparked. The phenomenon has been observed for 2,000 years, starting in the Far East. Catholics call it the Tears of St. Lawrence, as Aug. 10 is his day of martyrdom.

I'm a true Bay Area cat!!! I was born in San Francisco, but raised in Oakland (Elementary School & Middle School) and Richmond (Middle School & High School). I married my high school sweetheart Michelle and we have three beautiful daughters, Amani, Brandy and Faith . Being surrounded by four beautiful ladies continues to teach me what it means to love the bride of Christ, the Church. I received a football scholarship to play football at Portland State in 1993-94 and while pursuing a pro football career, God called me to trust and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I truly feel called to the city of Oakland, in which I've worked in through the Urban Services YMCA for the past 9 years as a program director. Oakland, while being an amazingly diverse and culturally rich city has been challenged by despair, injustice, confusion and hopelessness. This makes it fertile ground for the Gospel (the Good News) of Jesus Christ. My desire is to see Christ exalt himself in the city of Oakland through the life, love and language of his people who give themselves to the Gospel for the Peace of the City.

Kevin E. Mitchell is part of a minority, but he wants to change that. No, not his status as an African-American but as one of a few black certified executive chefs in Charleston and across the nation.
African-Americans and women are grossly underrepresented in the industry, especially in Charleston, he said.
As Chef Instructor at Trident Techs Culinary Institute of Charleston, Mitchells goal is to see an uptick in the chefs ranks here.
Judging from his passion, there soon could be more black chefs and women chefs at events such as the Taste of Charleston.
What it takes
Mitchell holds two culinary arts degrees from Culinary Institute of America in New York.
But he was one of three blacks in his class of about 72 students.
At Trident, the numbers are better.
On the schools North campus, about 1,000 students are enrolled in a two-year culinary program; half are minorities, including women.
Mitchell is pleased; students are entering a field he finds fascinating.
At 42, he wanted to be a chef since he was 6 years old chopping vegetables in his grandmothers kitchen.
He has been a chef in Ohio, New York and Michigan. He ran a 600-seat casino restaurant in Detroit with a staff of 90 before coming to Charleston in 2008.
He now thinks it is time for him to give back; to help more minorities become chefs.
Why are you here? is a question he often asks students.
Then he tells them, Dont tell me, My mother says I can throw down on frying chicken.
Being a chef is more than cooking; its learning to run a kitchen.
The Food Network and the many cooking shows, such as Top Chef, have made the business popular.
But he tells students that the job requires commitment, professionalism and passion. And its hard work. He often worked 70 to 80 hours a week.
But I love it.
Cultural awareness
Mitchell was hard pressed to think of a black executive chef who runs a top restaurant in Charleston.
Nationwide, there are a number, although they are not well-known.
In Charleston, there are several minority chef-owners. Blacks have worked with some of the worlds greatest chefs. But not many are running kitchens.
An industry that does not include blacks and women as chefs is doing itself a disservice, especially since many Lowcountry cuisines are African-inspired, he said.
Mitchell is a founding member of Bridging Culinary Awareness, which showcases minority contributions and seeks opportunities for them.
He and his students run a campus restaurant Tuesday-Friday this semester for lunch and dinner.
If Mitchell has anything to do with it, one day soon, his students may go on to run a restaurant locally or elsewhere.
Meanwhile, go on campus for an inexpensive but delicious full-course meal.
Maybe youll see what the future can look like.

As regular readers of this blog know I often cite the three maxims of Paul McNutly as the basis for a good compliance program. They are the questions that the government will ask when they come knocking: (1) What did you do to prevent it?; (2) What did you find when you looked into it?; and (3) What did you do when you found out about it?. One of the keys of these ideas is that if you look for something, through investigation or audit, you cannot be afraid to find something, recognize that it is a problem, then move forward to remedy the problem and use it as a lesson learned going forward. I recently saw an advertisement in the Harvard Business Review for the Columbia Business School which was entitled, "How to realize leadership potential" it occurred to me that it was a way to think through and act upon McNulty's point 3. So with some modification I present a practical method to implement McNulty.

Psychedelic Apples
Flash Fiction
by Rod Drake
It was April 1967. San Francisco was teeming with wide-eyed kids looking for answers.
Johnny Acidseed stood on Haight Street in front of the Free Store. He watched the endless throng of people that filled the sidewalk. Outrageous hippies, underage flower children, vocal college students, dazed runaways, stoned dropouts and potential revolutionaries.
Johnny checked them all out as they walked past. Every so often, one would catch his attention, usually a cute girl, and he would slip a hit of LSD into her hand. Today it was sunshine, the little orange tablet that looked like children's aspirin.
Some days it was little squares of blotter paper with drawings of a pyramid that had an eye radiating on top like on a dollar bill. Other days it was light blue microdot and on holidays, gelatin "window-pane."
"A day without sunshine is a day without acid," he said each time he pressed a pill into a palm, smiling at his own little joke.
Sometimes the girl would give him a hug or a flower; sometimes they offered him some change or a dollar, depending on what they had. He always refused to take any money. And sometimes a girl would invite Johnny back to her apartment to drop the acid and have sex. That was the best payback. It was usually for window-pane.
Giving away acid was what Johnny did. Every day, he passed out 50 to 100 hits to the endless new recruits on Haight Street. Johnny knew a chemist who made psychedelics, didn't care about money and enjoyed turning on as many people as possible. The chemist had an autographed photo of Albert Hofmann in his lab. Dr. Hofmann had invented LSD in April 1943 thinking it could serve as a psychology tool. What must he think of this whole generation turning on to his little medical experiment?
Johnny liked being part of the process. It was much better than being in the army, which he had been. He had served 18 months in Vietnam. It was during 1965 and early 1966 when the country more or less supported the American effort or at least was quiet in its opposition. Johnny saw things in Vietnam that haunted him. He did things over there that he still couldn't believe he did to fellow human beings.
All he wanted to do for those 18 long months, over 500 days, was to escape. Escape into a beautiful, peaceful world without pain and heartache. Now he helped gentle strangers in the Haight do that every day. Johnny was starting to feel good about himself again.
The Haight was definitely the place to be, and it was growing in population every day. Johnny's real name was John David Armstrong. He was the new All-American Boy. Someone in the Haight had dubbed him Johnny Acidseed in a moment of psychedelic humor. It fit and had stuck.
A man with an Old Testament-looking beard and a halo of kinky hair thumb tacked a handbill announcing a free concert today in the Panhandle by Big Brother, the Grateful Dead and other local bands. Johnny gave him a hit as a community service. A couple of giggling teenaged girls stopped and held their hands out to Johnny. And both girls were cute.

Team 4 Investigates Children's Agencies' Response To Hitchhiking Kids
Paul Van Osdol Talks With Allegheny County CYF
JEANNETTE, Pa. — After four young children were found trying to hitch a ride on Route 130 in Jeannette, the local police station became their home for six hours and they told police that they were trying to get away from an allegedly abusive home.
Their foster parents — sisters Sharon and Shirley Baker — have been charged with endangering the welfare of children, but investigators also want to know why it took so long for child welfare agencies in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties to respond.
Team 4 investigator Paul Van Osdol learned that it's the second time in recent weeks where caseworkers have been slow to respond to a child in desperate need of help.
When police found the four children on the side of the road Thursday — hungry, dehydrated and showing signs of abuse — they contacted the Westmoreland County Children's Bureau first.
They said Westmoreland County told them that the kids were supervised by Allegheny County, which contracted their care to the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center.
Yet, police could not get anyone to come to Jeannette and care for the boys.
"The bottom line is we needed somebody up here immediately to help us," Jeannette police Officer Justin Scalzo said. "We're not equipped to care for kids of that age."
Scalzo's wife went to the station to change diapers and help feed the children.
"They were hungry. We needed diapers because one kid went to bathroom in his pants," Scalzo said.
Six hours later, the children were picked up.
"We expect an immediate response to assure safety for our children," said Becky Wong, of the Allegheny County Office of Children, Youth and Families.
"So, children should not be sitting in a police station for six hours?" Van Osdol asked Wong.
"Correct," Wong said, adding that the situation is "totally unacceptable" to CYF.
Wong said her office is investigating and has blocked Three Rivers from placing foster children while the investigation continues.
Jeannette police said they had a similar problem with Allegheny County CYF two weeks ago, stemming from the case of a young woman allegedly held as a slave at a local home. Again, it took more than six hours for the girl to be placed in a new foster home.
"If you have two cases like this in a matter of weeks, doesn't that indicate there might be some kind of problem here?" Van Osdol asked.
"It could be there's a communications breakdown. I don't think that happens that often, but it's a possibility," Wong said.
Wong said there have been problems with Three Rivers failing to turn in written reports of their visits to foster homes.
"Can you say whether they were making appropriate visits to this particular home (in Jeannette)?" Van Osdol asked.
"I can't say for sure, because we don't have written reports. But verbally, I think they were making the visits," Wong said.
The Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center did not return calls for comment from WTAE Channel 4 Action News on Friday.
The Westmoreland County Children's Bureau declined to say whether it's doing its own investigation.
"It seemed like nobody wanted to send anybody out immediately to help us. They kept putting the burden on each other's agency," Scalzo said.
The Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare is also investigating Thursday's incident in Jeannette.

Generic Name: levalbuterol inhalation (leh val BYOO ter all)
Brand Names: Xopenex, Xopenex Concentrate
What is Xopenex?
Xopenex (levalbuterol) is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs.
Xopenex inhalation is used to treat or prevent bronchospasm in people with reversible obstructive airway disease.
Xopenex may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information
You should not use Xopenex if you are allergic to levalbuterol or albuterol (Accuneb, ProAir, Proventil, Ventolin).
Before using Xopenex, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, a heart rhythm disorder, a seizure disorder, diabetes, or overactive thyroid.
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially heart or blood pressure medication, diuretics (water pills), antidepressants, or other inhaled bronchodilators.
Talk with your doctor if any of your asthma medications do not seem to work as well in treating or preventing attacks. If it seems like you need to use more of any of your medications in a 24-hour period, talk with your doctor. An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack.
Xopenex comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
It is very important that you use nebulized Xopenex properly, so that the medicine gets into the lungs. Talk to your doctor about proper nebulizer use.
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of levalbuterol can be fatal.
Before using Xopenex
You should not use Xopenex if you are allergic to levalbuterol or albuterol (Accuneb, ProAir, Proventil, Ventolin).
To make sure you can safely use Xopenex, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
heart disease, high blood pressure, or congestive heart failure;
a heart rhythm disorder;
a seizure disorder;
diabetes; or
overactive thyroid.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether Xopenex will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using Xopenex. It is not known whether levalbuterol passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are using levalbuterol. A Xopenex inhaler should not be given to a child younger than 4 years old. Xopenex solution in a nebulizer should not be given to a child younger than 6 years old.
See also: Pregnancy and breastfeeding warnings (in more detail)
How should I use Xopenex?
Use Xopenex exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Use only the prescribed dose of this medicine and follow all patient instructions for safe use. Talk with your doctor about your individual risks and benefits of using Xopenex.
When using the Xopenex inhaler device for the first time, prime it by spraying 4 test sprays into the air, away from your face. Shake well before priming. Also prime the inhaler if you have not used it for 3 days or longer, or if you have dropped the inhaler.
Xopenex comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
The instructions below are for standard use of the inhaler and nebulizer devices. Your doctor may want you to use your device differently. Use only the inhaler device provided with your medicine or you may not get the correct dose.
To use the inhaler:
- Shake the canister well just before each spray.
Uncap the mouthpiece of the inhaler. Breathe out fully. Put the mouthpiece into your mouth and close your lips. Breathe in slowly while pushing down on the canister. Hold your breath for 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly.
If you use more than one inhalation at a time, wait at least 1 minute before using the second inhalation and shake the inhaler again.
Keep your Xopenex inhaler clean and dry, and store it with the cap on the mouthpiece. Clean your inhaler once a week by removing the canister and placing the mouthpiece under warm running water for at least 30 seconds. Shake out the excess water and allow the parts to air dry completely before putting the inhaler back together.
To use the solution with a nebulizer:
Open the foil pouch and remove one vial of Xopenex solution. Do not use the medication if it does not appear clear and colorless.
Gently twist open the vial and squeeze all of the medicine out into the chamber of the nebulizer. The medicine must be used right away after opening the vial. Throw away any medicine in the vial if it is opened and not used right away.
Attach the mouthpiece or face mask to the drug chamber. Then, attach the drug chamber to the compressor.
Sit upright in a comfortable position. Place the mouthpiece into your mouth or put the face mask on, covering your nose and mouth. Turn on the compressor.
Breathe in slowly and evenly until you have inhaled all of the Xopenex solution (usually 5 to 15 minutes). The treatment is complete when no more mist is formed by the nebulizer and the drug chamber is empty.
Clean the nebulizer after each use. Follow the cleaning directions that came with your nebulizer.
Each single use vial (bottle) of this medicine is for one use only. Throw away after one use, even if there is still some medicine left in it after inhaling your dose.
If you also use a steroid inhaler, use your Xopenex nebulization solution first to open up your airways, then use the steroid inhaler as directed.
Do not mix other medicines for nebulization with a dose of Xopenex unless specifically directed to do so by your doctor.
It is very important that you use nebulized Xopenex properly, so that the medicine gets into your lungs. Talk to your doctor about proper nebulizer use.
Talk with your doctor if any of your asthma medications do not seem to work as well in treating or preventing attacks. If it seems like you need to use more of any of your medications in a 24-hour period, talk with your doctor.
An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack.
Store Xopenex vials in the protective foil pouch at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Protect from light.
Keep each vial in the foil pouch until you are ready to prepare a dose in the nebulizer. If you do not use a vial right away, protect the vial from light and use it within 1 week after removing it from the foil pouch. Once you have opened the foil pouch, all of the vials should be used within 2 weeks.
Keep the Xopenex inhaler away from open flame or high heat, such as in a car on a hot day. The canister may explode if it gets too hot. Do not puncture or burn an empty inhaler canister.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and use the next one as directed. Do not use a double dose of this medication.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of Xopenex can be fatal.
Overdose symptoms may include severe forms of some of the side effects listed in this medication guide.
What should I avoid?
Avoid situations that may make your condition worse such as exercising in cold, dry air; smoking; breathing in dust; and exposure to allergens such as pet fur.
Xopenex side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Xopenex: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:

chest pain and fast, pounding, or uneven heart beats;
low potassium (confusion, uneven heart rate, extreme thirst, increased urination, leg discomfort, muscle weakness or limp feeling); or

Amazing Double Ads
As I always feel and say, Advertising industry always comes out with the most impressive pieces of creativity. In this showcase we have the ads with dual elements.
Some of them are completely self explanatory and other requires a bit closer look like WWF ads (noticed faces?) Club Med ads (hidden faces again) and the Nestle Avena one (have a close look, you might be missing the support).
Sometimes all it takes is a little creativity. Although considered a more traditional form of advertising, marketers continue to use magazine advertisements to get their message out. The only problem is how to actually be seen? Magazines advertisements can comprise over 30% of the actual publication.
That's where a little creativity comes into play. By thinking outside the fold, marketers have found ways to make readers take a second glance at these ads. Take a look at amazingly creative double page magazine ads and let us know which one would make you stop and take a second look!

Boy Toy
by Barry Lyga
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was distressing to read at times. At some points in the story, the plot was either extremely graphic, or just emotionally upsetting and I had to put it down for a little while. Not that that's a bad thing, it was actually a fantastically written book, but the topic of a teacher molesting her 12 year old student can be a bit too much to take sometimes. I liked how Josh grew throughout the story, and I loved the scene where he realized it wasn't his fault, and that it was something that was done to him, not by him.
It's a YA book about a high school student who had a sexual affair with a teacher when he was twelve. Now he's eighteen, about to graduate, and he is *angry*. And he has every right to be. He feels extremely ostracized, mostly by his self. He hangs onto what he has -- baseball and math, as he has flashbacks to his sexual assaults/incidents of abuse/molestations... I guess there's no real good word to call it. Because there's a huge double standard when it comes to this sort of thing. And it's nice that the story is written in such a way that there's no thing you can point to and say "if we eliminate that, this'll never happen again".
And it fascinates me. Not to diminish anyone who was in this situation but, as far as the "dominant, aggressive, older male with younger female" relationship goes in writing, it's been done to death. "Dominant, aggressive older female, younger male" is not. Especially with stories like Mary Kay Letourneau, Debra Lafave, and Pamela Rogers Turner. It follows the mental state of the boy nicely, as he struggles for normalcy in his current relationships, and how his past troubles color him. But he's really coloring himself.
Once again Lyga knocks it out of the park (baseball!). I haven't read a book of his yet that I didn't like profusely. I got exactly what I wanted -- an answer to the question of how a boy gets in a sexual relationship with a teacher. The only thing I wish was that we got a little more insight into the teacher. We never really learn her deal. Was she abused? Was she just unhappy? What was her motivation in starting this relationship? She makes a confession, so there has to be something in there. Maybe this is like real life, where the state keeps the victim and victimizer in the dark about each other's state. And that is the scariest part.
Boy Toy is a griping story of a school boy ,girl and a teacher and how their life changes when the teacher starts a relationship with the boy.The book have a shade of suspense on whether the relationship was planed or not by the teacher although it's somehow known to the reader from the staring that the it's teacher planing but it's till a good read about the difficulties faced by the boy in it's relationship with his childhood friend.
after teaching a class about sexual abuse and teachers having sex with their students, I'm intrigued.
I could NOT put this book down. I just couldn't. Of all the YA literature I have read, this is the one book that I feel has made me THINK the most. I found myself discussing it with my husband non-stop.
PROS: Lyga writes in such a way that the most shocking parts of the story are incredibly believable. I had no idea how we were going to evolve the story in a way that didn't make Eve and Josh's interactions awkward to read, but every event flowed into the next one so effortlessly that you can completely understand how such a relationship might occur.
CONS: As much as I loved the book, I was REALLY annoyed by the prom scene. I just really wish that prom hadn't been an issue at all - I found the whole scene so cliche that I was rolling my eyes while I read. Still, I was able to overlook it.
Definitely recommend!

Step 1: Aquire a USB Flashdrive
Step 2: Remove the casing
There are different colored circuit boards depending on the manufacturer. The most common colors of the circuit board are Red, Green, and Blue.
Step 3: Cover USB Drive in Hot Glue
After the glue is dry, pick up the drive and turn it over. Take the hot glue and cover that side. Try to get it as close to the edges of the other layer as possible. If necessary, you can shave the edges with a razor blade to match them up. If you shave too much, the edges will look dull and flat. You can run the edges of the drive over the tip of the glue gun to melt them and make them shiny again. Note that this will add a slight lip to the edges.
If parchment paper is Oven proof, such as for cooking, then baking paper will work too. as the baking has the same effect.
I'm not sure I'll give it a try, it's kind of undoable XD
I scrapped the hot glue idea and i use epoxy now its alot stronger its water proof etc
