A unique guitar for a PRS stalwart.
The Al Di Meola Prism electric guitar features a curly maple custom "10" top with mahogany back, 25" scale length, 22 fret Cocobola fingerboard, Pattern Regular neck carve, PRS low mass locking tuners, bird inlays and a tremolo bridge.
When discussions about this new signature model began, Al and Paul Reed Smith were both adamant that the guitar maintained the highest quality and tonal integrity. Al also suggested a tie-dye like finish for the guitar, to give it a truly unique look. Paul Smith and the PRS R&D team combined Al's favorite guitar appointments and a full spectrum of colors to create a one of a kind PRS guitar.
Al Di Meola was one of the very first artists featured on a magazine cover playing a PRS guitar and has supported PRS Guitars for more than 20 years. Not only is the Al Di Meola Prism one of the most striking guitars PRS has ever developed, it pays tribute to a legendary musician who helped lay the frame work for PRS Guitars as a company.

As part of the patient's take-home package, they receive the instruction sheet on how to access the Good to Go Web site, which the vendor hosts remotely and which has customized pages for each patient. Patients can also call an 800 number if they just want to listen to the conversation. The Web site-one of the modifications added during the beta development-includes related hospital-produced videos to the discharge condition, and Bailey says the hospital has "just begun to scratch the surface" of adding related content to the patient page. "Think of all the reasons you're admitted. That is a lot of templates to tailor and a lot of videos to complete." Physicians have expressed interest in adding their own video messages to patients, she notes.

From Staff Reports
Newnan's skies were gray as the annual Veterans Day program began Monday, and rain began to fall on the crowd as the ceremonies drew to a close.
About 350 people gathered at Veterans Memorial Plaza in the city park at Jackson Street and Temple Avenue. "It's a great crowd," Jeff Carroll of American Legion Post 57 said.
G.D. Hendrix recognized dignitaries, and Glenn Flake led the pledge to the flag. Hendrix also brought greetings from Col. Joe Jackson, a Newnan native and Medal of Honor recipient, who lives in Washington state.
The colors were raised by cadets from the Newnan High School Air Force JROTC program.
Members of the Elm Street Elementary School Chorus, under the direction of Josh Tate, sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," "United We Stand" and a patriotic medley.
Master of ceremonies Dick Stender motioned to the young chorus members. He said that in 15 years, "these young guys right here are going to be guardians of the gates of freedom."
Speaking to the chorus students, Stender said, "You're going to grow up, and you're going to get to take care of America."
Ken Mills, the first Veteran of the Year, also spoke briefly. Mills, the longtime local Georgia Veterans Service Office director, said, "I really miss you all," he said.
Mills, who has had three brain surgeries in recent years, thanked local veterans and friends for their prayers. Hendrix said there are "many, many veterans and many, many veterans' families that he helped."
Mills also talked about the work of the veterans service organizations. "I appreciate all our veterans who have made our community the great community that it is," he said.
Carroll said he sees "nothing but love from the community for our veterans." He added, "Coweta County is the best place in the world to live if you are a veteran."
Hendrix gave the invocation. The benediction was given by Winston Skinner, a local minister who is also assistant news editor at The Newnan Times-Herald.
Following the program, lunch was served at the Coweta Veterans Club.

The 443 km (275 mile) long highway was opened for the season by Indian Army authorities after the remaining snow at Zojila Pass, some 3,530 metres (11,581 feet) above sea level, had been cleared. The pass connects Kashmir with the Buddhist-dominated Ladakh region, a famous tourist destination known for its monasteries, landscapes and mountains.

text: Adnaan MohamedDublin - Springbok captain Victor Matfield says not a lot of people are giving the Springboks a chance of beating Ireland, but this only makes them hungrier for a victory. "We haven't won here in ten years. We have job to do and we are focusing on it. We are not concerned if we are the favourites or the underdogs. The only thing that we are worried about is the way we play and we need to get a result on Saturday. We had a little chat this morning about believing in ourselves. We might not have the most experienced side but we believe we have enough talent to pull this one through," Matfield said on Friday.The Bok captain believes only arriving three days before the game has not hampered his side's preparations in any way."I think it was the same last year. It is tough especially with the guys that played in the Currie Cup final last week. Some celebrated while others were a bit down, but I believe the guys will be ready. We had three good days of training in South Africa and were are happy with the way things went at the captains run today," he explained.Asked if he thought there was a difference between the way the game is played in the Northern and Southern hemisphere, he said: "In think rugby will always stay rugby. It's all about accuracy and energy on the field. Hopefully we can get back to that and play the way we should be playing."On his battle with the Irish Locks he said: "I had a look at them in the games they played against Australia. Any lock coached by Gert Smal will be good opposition. I have had to do a lot of homework and it will be tough to play against them."Former Springbok-scrumhalf, Dan Van Zyl, who has been living in Ireland for eight years, handed over the Springbok jerseys on Friday.Matfield said he started his Springbok career with Van Zyl as his captain in a midweek game against Argentina in 2000."Dan talked a little bit about what the Irish will bring to the game. He also told us what it meant for him to put on a Springbok jersey and encouraged those guys who will be wearing the jersey for the first time. He told them to enjoy every minute playing for the Boks because you never know if it could be your last."

Implantable contraceptives soon will be available again to U.S. women seeking a long-term solution to birth control, with the approval of a matchstick-size rod that can prevent pregnancies for up to three years.
Organon USA Inc. said yesterday that it would begin training doctors in August to implant the contraceptive rod, called Implanon. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the 11/2-inch-long rod late Monday. It is designed to be inserted underneath the skin of the upper arm.
Implanon provides 99 percent contraceptive protection. It will be the first contraceptive implant to be sold in the United States since 2000, when Wyeth Pharmaceuticals stopped U.S. sales of Norplant.
Norplant worked for up to seven years, but it spawned lawsuits by women injured while having its six rods removed or disturbed by side effects. Another implant, a two-rod product called Jadelle, received FDA approval in 1996 but has never been sold in the United States.
Implanon has been sold in more than 30 countries since 1998. More than 2.5 million women have used it, Organon said.
That track record, along with the implant's single-rod design and the training doctors must receive before they can prescribe it to women, shouldn't lead to a repeat of the Norplant experience, said Dr. Scott Monroe, acting director of FDA's Division of Reproductive and Urologic Products.
In case of problems that lead to a recall, a card containing the implant's lot number will be included in the medical files of women fitted with Implanon to help track them, Dr. Monroe said.
Implanon releases a low, steady dose of progestin to prevent pregnancy. Its use can cause irregular bleeding and spotting. For some women, it can eliminate monthly periods altogether.
The rod is inserted by a doctor under the skin of the upper arm in a quick surgical procedure that requires only a local anesthetic. It must be removed after three years, although it can be taken out at any time before then, said the company, a unit of Netherlands-based Akzo Nobel NV.
Progestin is a synthetic hormone similar to the progesterone made in the ovaries. The hormone typically acts on the body by thickening the mucus in a women's cervix, preventing the union of sperm and egg. It also can prevent ovulation, or the release of an egg from the ovaries.
Implanon is associated with an increased risk of several serious side effects such as blood clots. Smoking can further increase those risks.
Organon did not release the price of Implanon. Spokeswoman Frances DeSena said it would be comparable on a per-month basis to the cost of other hormonal methods.
Its availability will be a benefit to women who want a method of birth control that doesn't require a daily, weekly or monthly "ritual," said Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president for medical affairs at Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
"The history of its use in other countries has indicated this is really a fantastic addition to the array of contraceptives available to women in this country," Dr. Cullins said.

WINDER - The number of high school juniors in Barrow County meeting or exceeding standards on the Georgia High School Writing Test this year increased by one percentage point to 91 percent, school district officials announced Tuesday.The test, which was administered Sept. 24, assesses writing in four domains: ideas, organization, style and convention. The performance of the 642 juniors who took the exam matched the average results in the state and the Northeast Georgia RESA, which includes Barrow, Clarke, Elbert, Greene, Jackson, Madison, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe and Walton counties and Commerce, Jefferson and Social Circle cities. Of the 91 percent of students in Barrow County that passed the writing test, 3 percent exceeded the standards. "While we have some work to do with our junior students, such as move more into the 'exceeds' group, I feel we are moving in the right direction," Barrow County Superintendent Ron Saunders said. "When your results show that more than nine out of 10 of our students that took the test met or exceeded the standards, I believe we can be satisfied that teaching and learning is taking place in our schools." Gwinnett County Public Schools officials said they are validating the district's scores on the writing test. The scores are expected to be released this week.

Cor pulmonale is a condition that most commonly arises out of complications from pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also known as right-sided heart failure because it occurs within the right ventricle of your heart. Cor pulmonale causes the right ventricle to enlarge and pump blood less effectively than it should. Subsequently, the ventricle is then pushed to its limit and ultimately fails.
This condition is often prevented when high blood pressure going to the lungs is controlled. However, untreated pulmonary hypertension can eventually lead to cor pulmonale along with other related, life-threatening complications.
The lungs depend on the heart to transport blood and to convert oxygen properly. Pulmonary hypertension is a type of increased pressure in your lung's arteries and your heart's right ventricle. Untreated pulmonary hypertension is the most common cause of cor pulmonale. However, other conditions can cause this health complication, including:
Any condition that causes low blood oxygen for long periods of time can eventually cause cor pulmonale.
Symptoms of cor pulmonale may not be noticeable at first because they are similar to the feelings you get after a hard workout—shortness of breath, tiredness, an increased heart rate, and light-headedness. However, over time these symptoms will worsen and flare up even during periods of rest.
Report any of the following symptoms to your doctor immediately:
Cor pulmonale is diagnosed with both a physical exam and medical testing. First, a physical exam may reveal abnormal heart rhythms, fluid retention, and protruding neck veins. Your doctor will also need to perform blood tests to detect antibody levels and brain natriuretic peptide Brain natriuretic peptide is an amino acid made in the heart. It is also secreted from the heart when stressed.
Testing will also include:
In rare cases, your doctor may also order a lung biopsy to see if any underlying tissues are damaged.
To treat cor pulmonale, your doctor will need to treat the causes of pulmonary hypertension. Prescription medications can help decrease blood pressure and help encourage oxygen flow back into the lungs. Diuretics may also be used to get rid of fluid retention and to keep your blood sodium levels down. You may also take blood thinners to prevent blood clots.
Severe or advanced cases of cor pulmonale require more aggressive treatments such as a heart or lung transplant. Other patients may need to take oxygen therapy.
You can prevent cor pulmonale by taking care of your heart and lungs. Maintain a healthy weight, exercise, and eat a well-balanced diet to avoid hypertension and heart disease. Preventing the onset of lung disease may also help prevent this condition. Smoking cigarettes can damage the lungs and eventually lead to cor pulmonale.
The outlook of your condition ultimately depends upon the management of pulmonary hypertension. Cor pulmonale can also cause severe fluid retention, difficulty breathing, and even shock. It is life-threatening when not treated.
Talk to your doctor if you notice any changes in the way you feel, especially if you are currently being treated for hypertension. Your doctor may need to adjust your treatment plan in order to help prevent cor pulmonale.

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop! If you are coming from Judy's Blog, you are on the right track!
This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start here and when you get back here, you have seen all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.
If you get lost along the way, come back here and visit DEBI BARBER'S BLOG, where you will find a listing of all participants.
This month we are highlighting the "Original Argyle" Technique as shown on page 91 in the Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book found in one of the tip boxes. This technique describes how to create your own pattern by stamping shapes in an even or repeating pattern.
Now how to be different, as there will be 'Original Argyle' patterns all along the way -- instead I chose to use a stamp, dry embossing and stitching with embroidery thread to create a repetitive pattern.
I started by dry embossing using my trimmer and scoring blade and scored every 1/2". I sanded the embossed ridges to let the white core show through (love white core paper).
Next using the same stamp set as the example Original Argyle tip found on page 91 of the current Autumn/Winter Idea Book, Party Penants (C1429), I stamped two of the birthday sentiments creating a line (well I try to be straight) in between several of the sanded embossed ridges.
I took my piercing tool and our new ruler (Z1471) and marked the stitches. The ruler has a guide for straight stitches, zig-zag and more. Extremely helpful little tool.
Using embroidery floss in a shade similar to our Olive ink, I stitched along the marked holes from the previous step.
There has to be a little bling and in keeping with that tradition, I added square little sparkles (Z1104).
I added a little scallop circle made from a scrap piece of Elemental pattern paper. A few Milepost pieces and scrap ribbon, complete the card.
Thanks for stopping by! Please continue onto Cherri's Blog where you will find some additional artwork highlighting this technique!

De-lurking to ask a question that's been bugging me for a while, and I couldn't find with the searching that I've done.(though I may not be operating the search engine correctly...)
I was just wondering if anyone has compared the measurements of the 'guts' of an 8" Lilliput display with the available space of a double DIN opening?
I'm curious how close they are to fitting, as the 7" displays seem to all require a deacent sized bezel to be built around them before they will fit.
Thanks for any info, looking forward to this project!

|The Game Story:
|DALLAS � After a rocky start, the No. 6/7 Cornell men�s lacrosse team used a 12-1 to break open a 2-2 game as it rolled to a 20-7 victory over No. 20 Denver on a rain-soaked Highland Park High School field this evening in Dallas, Texas. With the win, the Big Red improves to 4-1 on the season, while Denver falls to 3-4 overall.
In total, 10 different players scored for the Big Red, led by Ryan Hurley who registered a hat trick in the first 11 minutes of action en route to a career-high six goals. Hurley also added an assist for a personal-best seven points on the night. John Glynn registered three goals and an assist, while Chris Ritchie posted a career-high three goals. Chris Finn (two goals, one assist), Mike Corbolotti (one goal, one assist) and Tom Corbolotti (one goal, one assist) where the other multi-point scorers for the Big Red.
Denver was led by Jaime Lincoln�s two goals and by the Dickinson brothers, who combined for one goal and two assists.
Complete game statistics are not available at this time.
Cornell found itself in an early 2-0 deficit thanks to back-to-back Denver goals by Lincoln and Jon Pualson, but Hurley got the Big Red out of the hole with two-straight goals to knot the game at 2-2 with 12:16 to play.
The Pioneers regained the lead off a goal by Emerson Eichler, but Ritchie responded almost immediately, starting the decisive 12-1 run after taking a pass from John Espey and finding the back of the net to give Cornell its first lead of the evening.
The Big Red made quick work of Denver after that, reeling off the next four goals in a span of 2:41, beginning with a fastbreak goal by Finn off a perfect pass by George Calvert. Hurley completed his early hat trick on the Big Red�s next goal, sending a low shot past Denver goalie Austin Konkel with 5:34 showing on the clock.
Glynn put Cornell up by three goals with a rocket to the left side of the cage and Romero tallied his first goal of the season off a pass from Tom Corbolotti to make it a 7-3 game with just over four minutes to go in the first quarter.
Denver opened the scoring in the second quarter as Murray sent a skip shot past Cornell netminder Jake Myers to make it a 7-4 game.
The Big Red needed just over one minute to put three more goals on the board, starting with a brilliant play by Glynn, who stole the ball on the defensive end, raced 80 yards down the right side of the field and fired the ball past Konkel with 12:24 showing on the score board.
Cornell won the restart and Ritchie carried the ball behind the goal before finding Finn as he cut towards the cage and one-timed it into the back of the net. Seibald pushed the lead to 10-4 when he fought his way through a double-team and scored at the 11:22 mark.
Hurley had a hand in both of the Big Red�s next two goals, scoring at the 9:37 mark off a pass from Finn, before feeding Glynn for a man-up goal to make it 12-4 with 8:18 remaining in the quarter.
The Pioneers replaced Konkel with Peyton Tyree and Cornell quickly welcomed him to the game as Hurley tallied a man-up goal off a pass by Mike Corbolotti with 5:12 showing on the clock. Just over one minute later, Glynn forced another Pioneer turnover and fed Tom Corbolotti, who skipped a shot past Tyree to put Cornell up by double-digits, 14-4.
John Dickinson ended the Big Red run with a man-up goal at the 2:41 mark, but Cornell responded on its very next possession as Ritchie sent the Big Red into halftime with the 15-5 lead.
A great individual effort by Mike Corbolotti got Cornell on the board just over two minutes into the third quarter, before back-to-back goals just 30 seconds apart made it an 18-5 game. The first goal was the direct result of a stifling ride as the Big Red double-teamed Tyree to force a turnover and Ritchie scored on the open goal with 8:54 showing on the clock. Hurley tallied his sixth and final goal of the evening, scoring a man-up tally off a pass from Mike Corbolotti.
Ilija Gajic broke the scoreless drought for the Pioneers, beating Myers with 7:46 remaining in the quarter to make it an 18-6 game.
Shortly after the Denver goal, Coach Tambroni began to substitute liberally, beginning with Texas native Drew Webb, who promptly fed Kyle Doctor, who scored at the 5:57 mark to give Cornell a 19-6 lead.
The Big Red started the fourth quarter with back-to-back penalties and managed to kill the first before allowing a goal by Lincoln on the second attempt to make it 19-7 with 13:43 remaining in the contest.
It took nearly five minutes for Cornell to respond before Peter Grom earned his first goal of the season after fighting through a defender and beating Konkel, who had returned to the game at the start of the final stanza, to make it a 20-7 Big Red lead.
Neither team scored the rest of the way as Cornell took the 20-7 victory.
The Big Red returns to Ithaca this weekend and opens the Ivy League portion of its schedule as it plays host to Yale on Shoellkopf Field on Saturday, March 22 at 1 p.m.

James Joyner thinks so:
I find the pseudo-monarchial trappings of the speech increasingly repellent. We're in the midst of an election campaign to decide whether Barack Obama gets to keep his office another four years and yet, for 90 minutes or so, we're supposed to pretend that he's our king. The entirety of both Houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs, and the Cabinet–minus, of course, some token unelected apparatchik kept in a safe location somewhere to reconstitute the government in the event a Japanese airliner rams the Capitol– is supposed to clap like trained monkeys while the Campaigner in Chief delivers a partisan stump speech thinly disguised as a plea for national unity.

With the visit of our friends fast approaching I've been spending all my free moments pondering what to feed our special guests. I've gone back and forth with all kind of ideas... formal or casual... salmon or chicken... wine or cocktail? Decisions, decisions, decisions.
I guess I had to stop and think about our friends. What type of people are they? Formal or casual? Definitely casual. Once we spent the weekend cooped up in a hotel room playing games and watching movies. So, after determining we should keep it casual, things just kind of snowballed after that. I was thinking southern comfort food would be perfect. When you think of a southern themed menu you immediately picture family and friends sitting around a large table. At the same time you picture an elegant setting. It's the perfect way to celebrate an anniversary while keeping things casual.
Being African American I grew up on "Soul Food," which originated in the South. But in researching for the menu I discovered there is vast array of southern food other than Soul Food. There's Cajun, Louisiana Creole, Lowcountry, and Appalachian to name a few. Something else I discovered, the dishes I grew up eating are spread out across these categories. Enter Tour de South. For the weekend we will be dining on dishes from the various categories listed above.
Still not final, but this is the way I'm leaning.
Friday - Louisiana Creole
- Bell Peppers Stuffed with Dirty Rice
- Jambalaya
- Gumbo
- Peach Cobbler
- Sweet Tea/Lemonade
Saturday - Traditional Southern
- French Toast
- BBQ Ribs
- BBQ Ribs
- Potato Salad
- Collard Greens
- Black Eyes Peas
- Candied Yams
Sunday - Appalachian (Breakfast Only)
- Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
- Eggs
- Sausage/Bacon
- Country Potatoes
- Eggs
- Sausage/Bacon
- Country Potatoes
Sounds yummy doesn't it!
Thanks for visiting - till next time.

Government booklet addresses Obamacare as if it is a done deal
Posted By admin On November 1, 2009 @ 6:43 pm In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
November 1, 2009
[efoods]It does not matter that Congress has yet to pass the Obama health care at gunpoint bill — the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services is now sending out a booklet notifying employers and employees that family members will be forced to participate and money will be taken out of their paychecks for government healthcare.
"When medical insurance coverage is ordered through employment, the National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) is sent to the employer or union to enforce the requirement to enroll the employee's dependents in a healthcare plan," the literature states on page 7.
The booklet spells out the bureaucratic steps required if an employer does not want to be fined and possibly imprisoned for not participating in the scam by the government and insurance corporations to take over one-sixth of the economy.
In now standard color of law fashion, bureaucrats in Illinois are acting like Obamacare is a done deal and employers have to respond accordingly.

Bloodh had had enough of the smell of rotten fish and decided to send Scubb and Ahkab on a "mission" so he could breathe more freely. They returned sooner than expected, held hostage by Calliope the mermaid! During the negotiations, she explained she'd only captured them so she could enter the Aquanis school of music. So Bloodh decided to hire her as their on-board musician. The smell of dead fish is stronger than ever but at least the Piranas now have a crew member who knows how to play an instrument properly!

PROVIDENCE — This Thursday, and every Pawsox home opening day thereafter, will officially be Ben Mondor Day in Rhode Island.
Pawsox President Mike Tamburro and Vice President and General Manager Lou Schwechheimer were on the dais of the House of Representatives Tuesday for the reading of a resolution to that effect that also passed the Senate and went immediately to Gov. Lincoln Chafee for his signature.
Pawtucket Rep. Mary Duffy Messier, who represents the district where McCoy Stadium stands and who introduced the resolution in the House, said it ensures that "Ben Mondor's legacy will endure for generations to come."
Mondor, who died last October, bought the Red Sox minor league team when it was in bankruptcy in 1977 and "built it into a franchise that is nationally respected with attendance figures consistently near the top of all professional minor league franchises," Duffy Messier said.
He also oversaw the renovation and expansion of McCoy Stadium into what she called "the envy of all minor league ballparks."
Tamburro called Mondor "a terrific man with a terrific sense of humor" and promised "we will continue his legacy as long as we are there." Tamburro acknowledged that pledge was in response to a threat: "He told us, if you screw it up, I'm going to come back and haunt you."
The resolution notes that, "Throughout his tenure at the helm of the PawSox, Ben Mondor won acclaim and admiration not only for his professional successes with the PawSox franchise, but also for his vision, drive, and community involvement," adding, "the impact and legacy Ben Mondor left on the game of baseball are nationally renowned and there is no doubt that he left this state a far better place because of his life's endeavors.
It calls for Ben Mondor Day to "be observed by the people of this state with appropriate ceremonies and activities that celebrate the many contributions Ben Mondor made."
House Speaker Gordon Fox said the Pawsox "continue to be a Rhode Island treasure.

Victim in fatal crash was trumpet player in local band
Rafael Garcia Gutierrez was heading home after dropping off his son at Frontier High School when he was killed in a fiery head-on crash near Oxnard.
The 41-year-old father of five was the owner, promoter and trumpet player of "Banda El Patron," and was known throughout Oxnard, said his son, Rafael Gutierrez Jr.
"My dad was the happiest person in the world," Gutierrez said of his father.
Authorities identified Gutierrez and Thalia Torres, 21, both of Oxnard, as the two victims of the fiery crash that occurred near Oxnard Wednesday.
They died of blunt force injuries, according to the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office.
Officials had to use dental records to confirm the victims' identities because their bodies were badly burned.
The two-vehicle crash occurred about 9 a.m. on Pleasant Valley Road between Laguna and Wolff roads. The vehicles erupted in flames after the collision, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Friends who apparently were driving in a vehicle behind Torres saw her move onto the right shoulder for an unknown reason, officials said. When she moved back into the lane, she apparently lost control, veered into the opposite lane and collided head-on with another vehicle. Torres and the other driver were killed. They had no passengers.
A passer-by tried to put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher but could not do so because of the intensity of the flames, the CHP said.
The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Gutierrez, 21, said his sister was on her way to work on Pleasant Valley Road when she noticed the street was blocked off. She then recognized her father's Mustang, Gutierrez said, choking up.
He added that he and Torres went to Channel Islands High School together.
Gutierrez was born in Michoacán, Mexico, and moved to Oxnard, his son said. He taught himself how to play the trumpet and started the regional Mexican band about four years ago.
"My dad's dream was for me to play in his band," the younger Gutierrez said. "I love banda music but I don't know how to play."
He added that, in honor of his father, he will teach himself how to play an instrument.
The family will hold a carwash Sunday at Liberty Printing, 1101 Commercial Ave., in Oxnard.
In addition Ruby's Cafe in Oxnard will have a fundraiser at the cafe, 348 South Oxnard Blvd. There will be a $15 donation.

The Knicks hold the No. 8 pick in the NBA Draft on June 25 and have worked out a slew of point guards, including the 6-foot-6, 220-pound Evans out Chester, Pa.
"Every time I bring up the name, all the coaches say he was a great player," Evans said of Strickland on Monday after working out for Knicks' general manager Donnie Walsh and head coach Mike D'Antoni. "Rod's a great guy, he taught me a lot."
Strickland, who spent a year and a half with the Knicks, served as the director of basketball operations last season at Memphis when Evans played his only year of college ball. Strickland, who did not respond to a voice message seeking comment, has since joined John Calipari's staff at Kentucky, and Evans is awaiting draft night.
"That's a dream come true, Madison Square Garden," Evans said of potentially playing for the Knicks. "It's one of the best gyms in the NBA game, so I would love to play here."
In their search for a point guard, the Knicks have worked out Evans, Syracuse's Jonny Flynn, North Carolina's Ty Lawson, Davidson's Stephen Curry and Brandon Jennings, who played professionally in Italy for one season.
Evans, the biggest guard in that group, is the second straight Memphis point guard to jump to the NBA after one college season. Derrick Rose led the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament title game in 2008 and was the NBA Rookie of the Year this past season with the Chicago Bulls.
Various mock drafts have Evans going anywhere from No. 6 to the Minnesota Timberwolves to No. 12 to the Charlotte Bobcats.
"You never know in this draft," Evans said. "It's a crazy draft, a lot of guards. Whoever picks me up, I'll be happy and hopefully we can win a lot of games."
Evans was the consensus national freshman of the year this past season. He thrived after Calipari moved him to point guard from the wing following a loss to Syracuse that dropped the Tigers to 6-3. During the first nine games, Evans averaged 14.8 points and 3.5 assists while looking tentative. But for the rest of the season, he averaged 17.2 points and 5.1 assists, helping the Tigers win 27 straight before falling to Missouri in an NCAA Tournament semifinal. Evans led Memphis in scoring (17.1), steals (2.1) and assists (3.9)
The question is whether Evans' skillset can translate to the next level the way that Rose's did. The knock on Evans has been his jump shot and his habit of falling away awkwardly after shooting it. Yet Evans has worked hard with Strickland, watching film and participating in two-a-days, to improve it.
"We took a lot of shots," Strickland said by phone from Memphis. "It's hard to just change somebody's shot in the middle or during the season. We just tried to put up some shots just to get confidence. That's what he's doing now. He understands he has to improve his jumper. And it comes down to concentration and repetition."
Said Evans: "Every day I'm in the gym getting up shots. Every day. Rainy day, sunny day, I'm in the gym. That's what I dreamed of doing, playing basketball. Now I'm making my dream come true. Trying to get in there and work as hard as I can."
Whether Evans becomes the NBA Rookie of the Year like Rose remains to be seen, but Strickland believes in his guy.
"I think he'll be real good," he said. "The one thing about Tyreke is that he's going to work and he's going to do whatever you ask him to do, so any flaw you see or think he has, he'll correct them because he'll put in the time.
"I think he has unlimited potential."

19 x22 inches. Painted background. Embroidered Original design with glass beads and tulle. Hand quilted.
very cool I love her
Quite nice and original !
very cool,,reminds me of the age of pisces&age of aquarius yea.
The different fabrics you chose for the lady and her turtle make them seem funky & otherworldly; their story would be totally different if she was just a painted nude and the turtle was all simple greens. I need to experiment more; thanks for sharing!
SuzanneG in NC
Oooh, very nice! Wonderful embroidery, Karen.
Beyond fabulous! Adore the embroidery and integration into the whole theme. Outstanding!

Conventions T-Shirt from Yonil
Published April 14, 2013 in Abstract T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
Conventions is a very nice tee from the designer Yonil. It also happens to be on sale (along with all of Yonil's other designs). I love the mix of geometric patterns–makes for a very interesting aesthetic.
You can buy the shirt for $21.00 at Yonil's store. Like I mentioned, all the other t-shirts are on sale as well, ranging from $13.00 to $21.00.
7 Hills T-Shirt from Our Kid Apparel
Published January 29, 2013 in Abstract T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
The obligatory "I don't usually like branded t-shirts" disclaimer goes here. But…I really like the simple geometry of this shirt, so I'm willing to make an exception. The design is based on the 7 Hills of Sheffield (I don't know specifically what importance they hold, but apparently they're well-known across the pond).
Unfortunately, us Americans have to deal with exchange rates, so the shirt, at 22 Pounds, is a bit pricey.
Perception T-Shirt from Ugmonk
Published January 12, 2013 in Abstract T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
As with all Ugmonk t-shirts, this design is pretty simple (in a good way). It's a nice, clean design; and I always love things that mess with your perception. You can buy it for $26.00 at the Ugmonk store, and they also have a version of the shirt printed on a mint colored t-shirt, which looks very cool as well.
Waiter #13 T-Shirt from INDVSL
Published December 15, 2011 in Abstract T-Shirts Artsy T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)
Back in early November (yeah, I'm slow), I got an email about a new t-shirt from a guy named Brett Amory, available at INDVSL. I dug the shirt, put it away in the "to be reviewed" folder, and then promptly forgot about it. I've finally rediscovered it tonight, and I would like to share it with you guys. I really like the "blurry" style (what's the real name for that, art history majors?), and I love that the design isn't centered on the t-shirt. It makes it more interesting for some reason.
You can grab Waiter #13 at the INDVSL store for $28.00. INDVSL's slogan, in case you're wondering, is "wear art. not ads". That's certainly a slogan worthy of your attention.
Stripes T-Shirt from Home Is Where The Heart Is
Published October 26, 2011 in Abstract T-Shirts Artsy T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
While this shirt is a bit of a departure from most of the designs I post on troundup, I nonetheless dig it very much. Much like Tom Haverford's fascination with "the shapes" on Parks and Recreation, I find myself thoroughly enjoying these stripes. Something about them just attracts me. It makes me feel like I'm swaddled in a cacoon of plush love (ok, maybe a bit hyperbolic. It's close though). I dunno–I think the designer just has his or her shapes down. It's cool stuff.
You can pick it up for 22.90 Euro at Home is Where The Heart Is. The shirt would be coming to you from Germany.
P.S. I was bummed I couldn't find the video of Aziz talking about the shapes on Parks and Recreation If anyone knows where to locate it please let me know.
Glyph from Rise and Resist Apparel (RandR)
Published October 21, 2010 in Abstract T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (1)
I know it's been awhile since my last post, and for that I apologize, and shamelessly blame mid-terms.
I'm happy to submit this relatively new release from RandR though. I love how they've managed to incorporate their name, but at the same time it's so unobtrusive that I didn't even notice it until I looked closer at the shirt. I think how they did the R + R just looks plain cool too, which is mainly how I feel about the design as a whole. It just goes well together, and grey and white always looks cool.
You can pick it up for $25 at RandR. It's printed on an American Apparel V-neck, which is kind of unique, as you don't find many v-necks, nor do I post many.
Rain Drops and Rhombuses from Plink Design

Beauty in simplicity. As the title suggests, the design is comprised entirely of rain drops and rhombuses, which are put together in an excellent fashion to form an excellent shirt. This is the first of a series from Joseph Mueller at Plink Design. I'm definitely looking forward to whatever comes next! You can check out the shirt here.
PS. Interesting fact about Joseph: He rode his bike across the country after college. That's real cool. I'd like to do that.
Melvin from Rhetoric
Published September 17, 2009 in Abstract T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)
"Bird by bird." "Show don't tell." Melvin is a literal interpretation of the streaming conscious. It is an ink drawing on paper that has adapted nicely to the t-shirt medium. Its position on the shirt invites visual curiosity.
I really like the illustration on this one–Melvin looks really cool. His "streaming conscious" is also cool looking, and is an interesting concept for a shirt. I'm really glad they went with a wrap around print for this one, because if it was all on the front of the shirt it would not be nearly as effective. I just wish I could find a little more zoomed in view of what he's thinking about.
Rhetoric prints on their own unique blanks, which usually means they're really comfortable (although I've yet to try one, so I can't 100% make that claim–it's just an educated guess). Check it out!

The Chapter 12 Tee from Paper Root Clothing

Here's a shirt from a company, Paper Back Clothing, that I've never written about before. I came upon them through Rumplo, and I'm really glad I did, because they've got some sick designs going on over there. There are a bunch I like–I just decided to write about this one because it was one of my top favorites. I love the blue and green color scheme on it, as well as the geometry and idea behind the shirt, which, quoting them, is "Infinite space…. need i say more?".
Pick this one up from Paper Root Clothing for $23.00 on an American Apparel shirt.

Published May 7, 2009 in Abstract T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirt Coupons T-Shirts. Comments (0)
Rise and Resist (or RandR, I'm not sure which they prefer) have been pumping out some really great designs every week. Before they were a little hit and miss with me, but now I seem to be getting hit fairly constantly–let's hope I don't bruise (sorry about that one, it's bad, I know). I'm not entirely sure what, or if there even is a background story to this shirt, I just think it looks dang cool.
You can pick it up for $18.00 in either lemon or pomegranate American Apparel at their store. You can also use a RandR coupon to save some money. Currently, use randr8414 for $5 off until May 10th. There's a chance that coupon may only work on this design–I'm not sure.


text: Gays Are Ruining MarriageGays Are Ruining MarriageOr rather Are Gays Ruining Marriage?1) It's not natural.In ancient Greece the two most important things were love and children. So being with someone you love even though you could never pass on your family line was considered the purest form of love. Also, statistics show an average of 50% of species have gays in them lizards, dolphins, pigs, even monkeys and apes have been known to have gay members. One example is sheep. Any sheep farmer will tell you that one in ten rams prefer another ram to a ewe.2) The Bible depicts marriage as a sacred vow between one man and one woman.Actually, it depicts Solomon as having 700 wives and in Deuteronomy, when a guy rapes a girl he must marry her. And anyway, Christianity isn't the only religion. Stop trying to force everyone to take on your beliefs. How can you say the Lord will punish two people for showing love and yet ignore you for hating someone you neve

|Absolute Adrenaline...Never Mind: Whittam Remains Unbeaten!
|| Print |
It wasn't pretty to watch, and that was down to clever tactics from Brendan Cookman (House Of Pain).
Cookman had put the challenge in to face John Whittam and although they had similar records, Cookman was not really a Kickboxer.
That said, his record in other styles was steadily improving with several 1st round stoppages in recent months, and the Bulldog Team were taking this one seriously.
Cookman had the added bonus of having former Bulldog nomad Trevor Soko in his corner. In his day Soko could make any good fighter look bad and he obviously imparted some of this knowledge to his fighter.
It was a complicated 1st round, won by Cookman who frustrated Whittam whilst picking up the points, and this continued into the second and third. However, Whittam was now finding his mark and delivering the more effective shots.
Cookman held and kicked (unusual) and also held and punched. This all upset the plans of Whittam who became a little bad tempered at times before sinking in a few well placed shots.
Coming into the 5th and final round most at ringside felt that although the contest had been a hard fought and close one, Cookman was behind and needing a stoppage for victory.
Whittam stepped up a gear to make sure, showing his class and experience.
It was, however, a surprise from both camps when the fight was only awarded to Whittam by a 2-1 verdict.
But that's the fight game and we should take nothing away from Cookman who gave Whittam his toughest challenge mentally, if not physically!

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - A 55-year-old Snellville man was found not guilty this week of leaving a threatening phone message for Gwinnett County Chief Magistrate Judge Warren Davis.James Eugene Rogers had been accused of leaving the message at the magistrate court office on Nov. 19, 2003, while trying to swear out arrest warrants for Gwinnett County Chief Superior Court Judge Dawson Jackson and Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter. If Davis didn't issue the arrest warrants, Rogers threatened to take out a warrant against Davis and said "there would be another magistrate," said Assistant District Attorney Julie Johnson. At the time, Rogers had two separate felony theft cases pending in Gwinnett for allegedly stealing a car and pocketing the proceeds of a car sale from his employer, a used-car sales business, Johnson said. The jury deliberated for about an hour Tuesday and found Rogers not guilty of intimidation of a court officer. He was also exonerated on the lesser included offense of harassing phone calls. An unrelated case involving an alleged death threat against Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter in March is still pending. Robert Ashley Walker, 44, faces felony charges of terroristic threats and intimidation of a court officer.

Hello everyone,
I was wondering about RH8.0s ability to change the hostname everytime I start psyche up. Everytime I start it the hostname is different... I was wondering if there was a way to disable this or at least what it is that is doing it in the first place. I'm running apache and so when it starts up the hostname is all wrong so it says[ FAILED ] at startup. I guess this isn't too big of a problem... seeing as how it's not really supposed to be access from the internet anyway but just don't like seeing the failed thing at startup.

The BlackBerry Storm is good, but still has some kinks
Just a few weeks ago, the world of smartphones was tossed and turned again when BlackBerry released its newest phone, the Storm. This touchable, usable, versatile phone sold out in hours upon release and has continued to sell out in Verizon stores all over the country.
But is it really worth it? Does this new piece of technology that lets you download music, surf the Web, coordinates your schedule and much, much more, really have a place in your techno drawer, or is it another over-hyped endeavor that will be obsolete in a few months?
After playing around with it recently, I think the answer might be both.
The BlackBerry Storm is a sweet piece. It's sleek, it's cool to hold, easy to handle and, more than anything, has a lot — and I mean a lot — of features. The idea behind the phone, according to Verizon, was to bridge the gap between business-minded individuals and your average consumer looking for an all-in-one phone that can do it all.
The Storm has Internet and BlueTooth capability, it has one of the best schedulers available today, the games are fun, cool and don't take up too much memory, it has a GPS that offers turn-by-turn directions, it can practically pick where you should go out to eat and, oh yeah, it can also be used as a phone.
But those aren't the features that BlackBerry has advertised. Instead, they are advertising the "revolutionary" clickable touch screen technology that allows for more precise typing and use. You still have the touch screen, but it actually clicks (and not just with a sound effect) when you push down on it.
For the most part, the phone is pretty cool, but there are some obvious flaws. For instance, it seems to have application errors if you don't have full bars and the touch scrolling is kind of ineffective. Downloading applications takes what feels like forever. The touch screen is nice, but it can be inconsistent and the reaction time to turning the screen vertical to horizontal is notoriously slow.
Now, the Internet is wicked fast and the screen itself is like having a high-def TV in your pocket. The sound quality is great and you've got 8 GB of memory so you can store a ton of stuff.
The Storm also has some cool features and add-ons including a roll-out keyboard and the ability to interface your Storm with your computer. In essence, this thing could be your computer and you can upgrade it to get it to that point.
I have to say it's cool, but I might wait until the price and demand goes down before buying.
Overall: 3 out of 5 bars

Premium Rush: The Bike Messenger as Action Hero?
A weak plot and silly villain detract from inventive action and a reliable Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
August 24, 2012 - 5:00 am
The plot of Premium Rush holds up poorly, but at least it has youthful spirit, like an X-Games splashed all over the big screen. It's not hard to picture teens coming out of it jazzed on danger and thinking, "Bike messengering is where it's at!" the way kids of another generation wanted to be cowboys or astronauts or soldiers. I guess that tells you a lot about where America is today: In a scene set in a bar, messengers sit around and swap tales about all of the trash barrels they jumped over on their bikes, or all the cab doors they smashed into. Heroics have been defined down, all the way to mere thrill-seeking.

Hudson River Almanac December 7 - December 14, 2012
The week remained much more autumnal than wintery. Sandhill cranes were in the Wallkill Valley, snow geese were moving through, and common mergansers were filling the tributaries, reminding us that winter was already touching the northern reaches of the watershed.
12/14 - Warwick, HRM 41: Walking the Liberty Marsh Trail I had a raven fly over, spotted an adult bald eagle with a duck it had caught, and saw a sandhill crane at the far end of the loop. As many as four sandhill cranes have been spotted here in the last week.
- Jeffrey Cook
[Sandhill cranes have an impressive six to eight foot wingspan. They breed mostly from the prairies of Canada and the north-central U.S. to the Arctic tundra, but there are nesting records from the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge in western New York State, and the birds are occasionally seen here in spring and fall migration. Tom Lake.]
[See 12/7 - Wappinger Falls: Regarding the three flying squirrels at Terry Hardy's bird feeder, these were most likely southern flying squirrels. I would expect to see northern flying squirrels only in places like the high Catskills or the Rensselaer Plateau - if even there. Erik Kiviat.]
12/7 - Staten Island, New York City: I was walking in woods on Staten Island to clear my head of Sandy and yet another three-hour meeting designed to discuss it. The sun was low in the horizon and a heavy fog transformed mere acres into ancient woods of unknowable proportions. Barely visible from just yards away, two perfect circles of running pine was clearly evident, emerald green against the thick oak duff, now soft and beautifully red-brown in all the moisture. Club mosses are rare enough in our urban wood - I'd have come to see them alone - but other sightings were being doled out gradually by the fates. Two ravens, their calls magnified by the utter lack of anything visually clear, were black and just yards overhead before I even had a chance to register what direction they were coming from. Perhaps as surprised as I was to find guests in such lonely woods, they wheeled around twice, obviously checking me twice, and then in typical raven fashion, disappeared in the mists, well before their calls did.
- Dave Taft
12/8 - Croton Point, HRM 34.5: Against the first blue sky I had seen in a week, the soaring adult bald eagle was a stunning sight. Up on the landfill, half a dozen American pipits flushed and flew fifty yards up-slope to land in light cover and instantly vanish from sight.
- Christopher Letts
12/9 - Town of Wappinger, HRM 67: We watched eight turkey vultures rise laboriously from their night roost and desperately try to gain altitude. Vultures are built for soaring flight, and do not have an easy time of it on a cold day lacking significant thermals. In an uncommon scene for these birds, they all flapped furiously trying to both achieve lift and somehow get into a kettle. After ten minutes of near futility they gave up on the kettle and just flapped away to all points.
- Tom Lake, T.R. Jackson
12/9 - Fishkill, HRM 61: I noticed movement right outside my front door. Being curious, I looked out and saw, busily flitting about my balsam fir Christmas wreath door decoration, two Carolina wrens. Presumably, with sunset about an hour away, they were looking for a nighttime roost.
- Ed Spaeth
12/10 - New Paltz, HRM 78: It was somewhat foggy at noon near the bridge over the Wallkill River. We spotted a roost of about 35 vultures - a few were turkey vultures but most were black vultures. They were perched on roof tops, in pine trees and bare deciduous trees. Every now and then a few birds would take off, fly across the Wallkill, and then soar above the fallow fields to the west. Most, however, just stayed at the roost.
- Erin Murphy, Ed Spaeth
[Black vulture (L) and turkey vulture (R) photos below by Mike Pogue.]
12/10 - Yorktown, HRM 44: I was stacking wood in the yard when a flock of about seventy snow geese flew over. The flock was in a "broken" V, behaving as though they were searching for a landing site. They came in very low from the northeast, circled the yard, and then headed northwest.
- Thomas Rhindress
12/11 - Poughkeepsie HRM 75: I watched today as a peregrine falcon perched on what was left of the Nelson House in Poughkeepsie. I have watched it, or another falcon, for years as it perches and then pursues one of the many pigeons in the area.
- Marty Otter
12/11 - Town of Poughkeepsie, HRM 68.5: As I was preparing to speak to a class of third-graders about bald eagles, we glanced out the window to the edge of their playground and saw an adult bald eagle perched in the top of a black locust (not a favorite "eagle tree"). Try as I might, I could not convince the students that I had not somehow arranged the appearance.
- Tom Lake
["Eagle trees" are easy to spot, even when eagles are not in them. They are large, open canopy trees, like cottonwoods, oaks, tuliptrees, sycamores, and white pines, on or near the river or a tributary, with a view of the water. Some of these trees have large horizontal limbs that make perfect feeding perches. Many are in sheltered locations, out of the prevailing wind, with a sunny exposure. The formula for a good eagle tree is "easy in, easy out." White pines are favored as night roosts in winter as they afford shelter from the wind. Tom Lake.]
12/11 - Wappinger Creek, HRM 67.5: It was a mid-morning high tide as eight common mergansers, both hens and drakes, made their way upstream leaving widening wakes behind. As I watched they all stopped and simultaneously dove. They soon popped up but immediately dove again. All eight were repeatedly underwater. I puzzled on what had caught their attention: A school of spottail shiners? Banded killifish? White perch? Sunfish? It is unusual to see an entire group of ducks diving all at once. Whatever the lure was, it had been exciting.
- Tom Lake
12/11 - Beacon, HRM 61: We took a run across the river to the Beacon side and the area near the Metro North railroad station. It was near low tide and we were most pleased to find three Iceland gulls among the ring-billed and black-backed gulls. Two of them were birds-of-the-year and one was a second-year bird with an extremely clean, almost white, form.
- Ken McDermott, Curt McDermott
12/11 - Palisades, HRM 23: I was driving out of the parking lot this evening when I spotted a unique silhouette in an old willow tree by the marsh: a great horned owl!
- Linda Pistolesi
12/12 - Westchester County, HRM 43-34: On this crisp blue sky morning I did the first nine-mile "eagle sweep" of the season along the northern Westchester County shoreline, visiting half-a-dozen of the favorite winter perches for the birds. Generally, some wintering birds have arrived by now, but I drew a total blank. At China Pier in Peekskill, the first great cormorants had arrived, pretty much on schedule.
- Christopher Letts
12/12 - Town of Cortlandt, HRM 38.5: We saw a pair of hooded mergansers on a pond between our house and the Hudson River. Further down the road where Furnace Brook becomes a marsh and meets the river, we counted two more pairs. Three of them dove, leaving a male in the cool air. They were under a long time and the remaining male soon dove as well. We love nature!
- Simone Kukla, Ethan Kukla, Violet Kravitz
12/13 - Stanfordville, HRM 84: I spent an hour or so this afternoon at Tamarack just listening to the bald eagles vocalizing (both were in a favorite oak). One, possibly two, immatures further back in the woods were responding - ever so wonderful. One of the immatures was out on the skim ice.
- Deb Tracy-Kral
12/13 - Town of Poughkeepsie: Eight tall tuliptrees are evenly spaced along the base of a long ridge of dolomite several hundred yards from the river. One of these tuliptrees holds bald eagle nest NY62. It was very quiet and still this afternoon to the point where even the bluebirds were no-shows. Then we heard that familiar, instantly recognizable sound like the opening of a squeaky, creaky door: an eagle was nearby. It was the adult female (N42) carrying several thin branches her talons for nest repairs.
- Tom Lake, T.R. Jackson
[Several days ago a third-grader asked me "What do eagles say to each other? Do they give each other names?" The easy answer is that we do not know. However, it is useful to consider the wide range of vocalizations eagles use to communicate. Most are squeaks, chirps, and chortles. The tone, selection, and pitch seem to vary depending on who is calling and who is listening. Nestlings calling Mama in the midst of a midnight nor'easter sound different from a fledgling demanding to be fed. Adult communications around their watches at the nest differ from the calls that accompany mid-winter mating. It is a beautiful mystery. Tom Lake.]
12/13 - Croton Point, HRM 34.5: A small flock of wintering bluebirds, all male, was a cheery sight this frosty morning. Two house wrens were something of a surprise - tame as could be. A single kestrel on the landfill and a male wood duck on a woodland water hole were other nice sights.
- Christopher Letts
12/14 - Town of Wappinger, HRM 67.5: As I drove past Hunter's Brook I did a double-take. We are used to seeing mallards and the occasional black ducks there but this was something new. I stopped alongside the brook and in my binoculars was a pair of gadwalls. These are also marsh ducks, related to black ducks and mallards, but not nearly as common in this area.
- Tom Lake
12/14 - Orange County, HRM 50: Take heart: If the red-tailed hawks are courting, can spring be far behind? I counted several pairs within an hour - soaring, sketching love circles in the sky.
- Christopher Letts

Stephen Barton knows he's lucky to be alive—and now the 22-year-old survivor of the Aurora, Colo., theater massacre is doing what he can to prevent such a thing from happening again.
"In the next four years, 48,000 Americans won't be so lucky because they'll be murdered with guns in the next president's term," says Barton, who was shot in the face and neck when a gunman opened fire on a packed screening of The Dark Knight Rises, in a new pro-gun control public service announcement for the Demand a Plan campaign.
The number of prospective victims is "enough to fill over 200 theaters," Barton notes.
Four survivors of the Aurora massacre have sued the movie theater for negligence
The PSA, paid for by United Against Illegal Guns Support Fund, seeks to encourage voters to use the upcoming series of presidential debates to question candidates Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama about what they intend to do to curb gun violence in the near future.
The July 20 shooting at the Cinefamily-owned Century 16 multiplex in Aurora left 12 people dead and 58 wounded. Suspect James Holmes has been charged with 24 counts of first-degree murder (special circumstances account for the doubling) and 116 counts of attempted murder.
Barton, who's from Connecticut, was on a cross-country bicycle trip and was just staying the night with a friend in Aurora at the time of the shooting. He now does victim outreach and policy work for Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
The images from the aftermath of the Dark Knight shooting remain grim as ever, months later

I'm passionate about family. I love my sons and I enjoy watching them grow up to be wonderful young men. I love to travel worldwide and have my family beside me. I have traveled to Brazil, France, and Costa Rica. One of my favorite memories was a visit to Montmartre in France where artists and musicians walk throughout the entire village. I enjoy spontaneity and fun get togethers with friends. Good friends are priceless.
I am looking for someone who is family oriented, funny, reliable, trustworthy, and loves life. Sees the cup half full and sees possibilities. Someone who prioritizes the important things in life but can still be spontaneous
I typically spend my leisure time enjoy watching community theater and when I have the chance going to NY for Broadway shows. I also love outside concerts like in Atlanta where people bring their fine china and candles to dine while listening to the music. I appreciate gourmet foods and enjoy discovering new restaurants. Visiting vineyards and wine festivals is also lots of fun. Listening to the Ocean and reading a good book is a favorite downtime of mine as well.

Any woman who has more than one child can tell you how different each child is from birth. You are born with your personality intact. The Color Code is based on your natural, innate personality type. Of course, people may change over time, but your Core Color will always remain the same.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.
