Guardian Law will be holding a live Pupillage Q&A with several pupils and a tenant this evening at 6
Guardian Law will be holding a live Pupillage Q&A with several pupils and a tenant this evening at 6
France's "Burqa Ban" came into force yesterday.
I posted about this last year and generally stand by what I wrote then. There is a debate to be had about the Veil and its place in both Islam and the West. That does not entitle a liberal democracy to use the coercive power of the criminal law to force people into compliance with "our values". Coercion cannot and should not replace rational debate and persuasion. If it does we're no better than the systems we claim to abhor.
The original post is now up at Legal Week.
Having had some initial feedback, I've been given some further pointers worth repeating here:
More Links
Current Awareness – run by the librarians of Inner Temple, this is a very good roundup of links to relevant legal news. You don't have to read every link posted, but it's useful to keep abreast of what's going on. Definitely count this as one of the blogs worth reading.
Pupillage Blog – I don't read it, but apparently other people like and recommend it.
Do Your Homework
Chambers get deluged with CVs and applications. They will look for (legitimate) reasons to bin whatever they can. If you give off the impression that you know nothing about the set you're applying to, they're very unlikely to want you. Applying to a specialist revenue law set with an application stating your passion for criminal law is very likely to result in your application being filed in the dustbin.
This ought to go without saying, but unfortunately it does happen. It makes you very easy to bin indeed.
Go onto Chambers website and look at what they do and what recent cases they have appeared in. Comb through the site for every useful detail. Bear these in mind when you apply and give a reason why you want to be a pupil at that specific set. Try and look at editions of Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 (the student edition of the former is particularly useful). Tailor your applications to the set.
Cheque You're Spelling. Punctuation and Grammar
If you paid close attention to the last post I wrote on this subject you'd notice that the final paragraph was a bit grammatically non-sensical. If you didn't notice it, that's because I edited it after I posted it. Unlike here, you don't get an opportunity to amend once sent. The Bar is a job that expects very high standards of written and oral communication. You are paid, roughly speaking, to write things and say things. If you can't do either well this may not be the job for you. Some parts of the Bar are extremely paperwork-heavy. The pupillage committee will be looking at how you present yourself on paper, and it will be the first impression you make. Make sure it's a good one. Spelling mistakes and so forth are relatively easy to correct, but potentially lethal if left in.
Similarly make sure you've answered the questions asked and not failed to leave any out. A friend once forgot to put in the addresses of his referees. Needless to say the set didn't offer him pupillage, and he never made that mistake again. Similarly, although it may be considered pedantry, avoid putting prepositions at the end of sentences unless you have no choice. It's a habit you need to cut down on.
Spellcheck won't cover this. It wouldn't notice the errors in the above heading. Similarly don't expect to spot these mistakes as soon as you've written them: your mind will fill in the gaps and you will see a complete sentence in place of the nonsense you've written. In this regard you have two options: either get a friend (preferably a non-lawyer) to check the draft for these errors (I believe this is allowed), or leave the completed application for a few days then go back to it having done something else.
Anticipate the Questions
Certain parts of your CV will bring up obvious questions (e.g. "Why didn't you get a 1st?"; "Why did you do a GDL rather than a law degree?" etc.). Other questions are very likely to come up in general ("What attracts you to this set?"). Treat it like your UCAS personal statement. If you put something in your application, expect to get grilled on it. Be prepared for the tough and incisive questions and have answers prepared (but NOT scripted). Don't think you'll be given an easy ride: approach your CV from the pupillage committee's perspective and think what questions they'll ask on it, especially the tough ones. It again may be helpful to have someone who's been through the process look through your CV and ask you the tough questions.
Similarly, if your law school or university offers a mock interview service, use it.
Know Your Weaknesses
If you know that some part of your CV isn't as strong as it could be, don't try and hide from it. Accept it and deal with it. Have an answer ready for why that weakness is there (but remember: no excuses and no scripted answers). If you can find some way of eliminating the weakness, do it. For example, if you got a 2:1 in your degree, aim for a Distinction on the GDL; if you lack advocacy experience, go mooting or join a debating club.
Apply Early
I don't mean this in the sense that your application should be complete the day the Portal opens. As far as I'm aware, the Portal applications all get sent to chambers at the same time, so use the given time to fine-tune yours (please correct me here if I'm wrong). What I mean is that if you're in your GDL year or still on your LLB, you should consider applying now.
First, it will mean you don't have to take a gap year after the BPTC if you succeed.
Second, if you don't succeed, you'll know a lot more about the process and be able to make a better series of applications the following year.
Third, with a few exceptions, there is little harm in applying more than once to the same set. This point is worth checking though: some chambers have a One Attempt Only policy, and will only allow another try in exceptional circumstances. Check the pupillage policy of chambers before you do so, and consider whether, if you want to treat this as effectively a trial run, you might be better holding off until next year.
Finally, you only get a limited number of attempts at applying for pupillage after you've done the BPTC. Why waste one?
Give Yourself a Spare Week
Submit your applications a week before the deadline. This should give you enough time to deal with any technical problems that come up. In particular, the Portal has been known to crash around the deadlines when everyone floods the servers. Submit a week before and you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.
I didn't make too much of an issue of it but I entered my blog for the Orwell Prize for Blogging earlier this year.
A few days ago the results for the longlists were announced. I have just had a look and suffice it to say I am not happy.
The concern isn't personal. I am not bothered in the slightest that I have not got an award for my writing. My interest is wholly professional.
My blog writes about law. UK Human Rights Blog and Head of Legal have been known to do the same on occasion as well. Unlike them, I don't write this blog out of the goodness of my heart or a general passion about the law but a calculated effort to raise my profile and rake in business. When I become a fully fledged barrister I intend to use this blog as a way of obtaining instructions from solicitors.
This then becomes deadly serious when you realise that one of the Orwell Prize judges is David Allen Green, a solicitor and partner at a prestigious law firm. The implication of the selection of their blogs over mine is obvious: Wagner and Gardner are worthy of receiving instructions and business, but I am not. This is in no way an accurate reflection of ability and experience. There is an implied assertion that my skills as a lawyer are simply not good enough to merit attention. This is a serious allegation against my professional ability and conduct.
The same cannot be said of Peat Worrier and Pink Tape because, frankly, they're a bit rubbish compared to me.
I am taking this accusation extremely seriously and have instructed Carter-Ruck to represent me in this matter. I consider the decision to be highly defamatory. I am asking for substantial damages, but my attitude to the same will be determined by the nature of their response to the pre-action correspondence I have also sent.
UPDATE: A lot of people on Twitter are referring me to Arkell v Pressdram (unrep). So many as to suggest the Intended Defendant has orchestrated a further defamatory campaign. I have done my research: the case isn't on Westlaw, and it's therefore not authority for anything.
UPDATE 2: April Fools.

Massachusetts Reporting
Jupiter Ed exports the files required for Massachusetts SIMS, Student Course Schedule (SCS), Multiple Student Registration (MSR), and staff data (EPIMS).
Note: Please see the MA documentation for questions about your state requirements.
On the screen, enter your 4-digit District number and 4-digit School number for each school.
If your district reports students who are attending other schools outside your district, we recommend you create a separate "school" for those students. Click the "New School" button on the screen to add a new school to your account. You may create a separate school for each school you report for, or use a single school for all outside students, whichever you prefer.
On the screen, no special setup is required. The default settings are fine, or you may customize them, as long as it still contains the six required races/ethnicities with recognizable keywords like Hispanic/Latino, Black/African, Asian, Pacific/Hawaiian, Native/Indian/Alaskan, and White. Any unrecognized race/ethnicity will not be reported.
On the screen, add all administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, and anyone you need to report. For office staff, give them at least the "A1" permission. For classroom support staff, give them the "T" permission if you want them to have full read-write access to the teacher's gradebook; otherwise give them only the "V" permission for read-only access. If you don't want support staff to have any login access at all, still give them the permissions described, but do not enter their email address; that way they cannot login.
On the screen, to assign multiple staff to the same class, edit the section and click "Add co-teacher", so the master teacher is first, and anyone else is listed after them, such as paraprofessionals and classroom support staff. This may or may not give them access to the teacher's gradebook, depending on the permissions you set on .
Note: Jupiter's TA login feature is designed for student TA's. For adult TA's to be included in EPIMS, add them as co-teachers, so they'll be like any other staff member using the Teacher/Admin login screen.
If a staff member leaves, do not remove them from Jupiter until you've reported their exit in EPIMS. First on the Setup > Staff > EPIMS screen, update their work status, then export your EPIMS report; then you may remove them from Jupiter or archive their account.
On the screen, click the EPIMS button to enter data for each staff member, such as job assignments, FTE, qualifications, etc.
By default, the screen includes checkboxes for IEP, ELL, Free Lunch, Reduced Lunch, etc. But these checkboxes are not used for SIMS, and they are redundant with the more specific settings on the screen. So to avoid confusion, delete those fields from the screen. You may keep any other special groups, like Athletes.
On the screen, define your terms. When grades are exported, it automatically exports the appropriate codes for SEM1-2, TRI1-3, QTR1-4, QIN1-5, MINI1+, FULL, or SUMR, or you may click each term to explicitly enter these codes in the Term Code box. If you have an intersession, you should put that in a separate track (select "Some students have different grading periods"), click the term, and type INTR in the Term Code box.
On the screen, click each course to edit it and enter the State Code, Level, and Advanced Placement.
Check "R. Show on report cards" for courses that should be exported. Uncheck this for Teacher Aide, Student Aide, Study Hall, Free Period, etc.
On the screen, select Daily or Period attendance for each school, and define your attendance codes. Any code classified as Absent (unexcused) is reported to SIMS as Truant.
For Daily attendance, if a student is absent for half a day, that means they are present for half a day, so they are reported to SIMS as Present.
For Period attendance, SIMS counts a student present if they were present for at least half the day. So for example, if your school day has 6 hours of class time (360 minutes), set it as:
To count attendance for the day, students must be present
[ 180 ] minutes to count as full day
[blank] minutes to count as half day
Leave the second box blank, or set it to 1 or higher if you want half-days counted for report cards. Either way, half-days are not counted for SIMS.
If a student transfers within your district from one school to another during the school year, or if they concurrently attend two schools, Jupiter does correctly report the attendance for both schools combined. (In the unlikely event a student attends two schools on the same dates where both schools use Daily attendance, it reports one school arbitrarily and ignores the other. If the student attends one school with Daily attendance and one with Period attendance on the same dates, it reports the Daily attendance only for those dates.)
On the screen, edit the Consequences to include:
Suspended In-School __ days
You may alter the wording as long as it includes the keywords Suspended/Suspension and In/Out.
When SIMS is exported, it automatically counts the number of referrals where in-school suspension or out-of-school suspension is checked. (Note: If a single incident includes both in-school and out-of-school suspension, it's reported as one out-of-school suspension.)
On the screen, enter the student's SASID, gender, birthdate, race/ethnicity, and address, or you may Import all that from a data file.
See the screen for information specific to Massachusetts, like enrollment and programs.
For Kindergarten students, select Kindergarten on the Add/Edit screen, then select the part-time/full-time/tuition options on the SIMS screen.
For Special Ed students beyond grade 12, set their grade level blank on the Add/Edit screen.
Note: Some items on these screens are somewhat redundant:
The "Language" on the Add/Edit screen is not reported; it's used only for reports and the parent/student login. See the SIMS screen to report the "Primary language".
The "Graduated" date on the Add/Edit screen is not reported; it's used only for transcripts. See the SIMS screen to report the exit date.
If the Add/Edit screen still has checkboxes for IEP, Free Lunch, etc., they are not the same as the SIMS screen. Go to the screen to erase those.
The "Goal" menu on the Guidance > Plan screen is not reported. Use the "Postgrad Plans" menu on the Add/Edit screen.
Note: When you add a student to a new school year or summer school, it copies the student's information from the previous year. You must manually erase anything that no longer applies.
Go to the screen to export SIMS, SCS, or MSR. Pay attention to which year you have selected at the top of the webpage.
Select "This school only" to export one school, or select "Entire district".
If the file fails to download, see Export for troubleshooting.
Open the CVS file in Excel or any spreadsheet to verify it contains the correct data - but do not edit it! Spreadsheets alter the date format, leading zeros, and delimiters, making files invalid for state reporting.
If you need to edit the file, use a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. Try copying just a few rows to a new file and upload that to see if you can isolate the error. Please contact us if you need further help.

"Did you have a good summer? Yes? Okay, who can tell me what you did this summer?"
At Oak Forest Elementary on the city's northwest side, HISD Superintendent Dr. Abe Saavedra is happy to welcome a room full of young students, only a handful of the several hundred thousand kids who are back in school now. He says this is his 35th first day of school and it never gets old.
"It's always exciting to look forward to the first day of school. All weekend long, and frankly even late last week, a lot of our staff was working around the clock trying to make sure the schools were ready. Every report I got over the weekend was everything was ready, so I think we're off to a great start."
Oak Forest Principal Kimberly Hobbs says if often the parents of some of the younger students who have a harder time with the first day of school than the students do.
"We let parents know that they're in good hands once they have them in the classroom and have taken over and we're in charge of supervising their children. It's the day we look forward to. It's our responsibility to make sure the nurturing process starts the minute they walk in the door and that's what we're really most proud of."
The district opened eight new school buildings today, including seven new elementary campuses. They're the result of a 2002 bond election.

Readership: Advanced students and scholars of criminology; academic criminologists, sociologists, socio-legal and legal scholars; criminal justice policy makers and practitioners
Edited by Mary Bosworth, Reader in Criminology, University of Oxford, Fellow of St Cross College, and Professor of Criminology, Monash University, Australia, and Carolyn Hoyle, Professor of Criminology, University of Oxford and Fellow of Green Templeton College
Mary Bosworth is Reader in Criminology at the University of Oxford and Fellow of St Cross College. She joined the Oxford Centre for Criminology in 2006. She is also concurrently Professor of Criminology at Monash University, Australia. Her major research interests are in punishment, incarceration, and immigration detention with
a particular focus on how matters of race, gender and citizenship shape the experience and nature of confinement.
Carolyn Hoyle is Professor of Criminology at the University of Oxford and Fellow of Green Templeton College. She has been at the Oxford Centre for Criminology since 1991. She has published empirical and theoretical research on a number of criminological topics including policing, domestic violence, restorative justice, and the death penalty.
"As an exercise in reflection and reflexivity, however, the collection is an undoubted success and will, I am certain, stimulate further debate and reflection in moving towards a range of criminological futures. In Asia, it may be hoped that some of the key messages from the collection are taken up and developed so that Asian criminology might be part of that future." - Alistair Fraser, Asian Criminology
"Over 36 chapters Bosworth and Hoyle's collection provides unsurpassed insight into the rocky, but nonetheless exciting, terrain to be negotiated in being a criminologist. It is essential reading for those already negotiating
(and perhaps lost on) that terrain, and must surely become both a comprehensive and challenging resource for the orientation of newcomers." - Alistair Henry, Edinburgh Law Review

Rated 3.9 out of 5�by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sam Great socks These socks provide comfort and warmth. I have worn them several time and have truly enjoyed them. August 5, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Socks1245 Good quality I'm wearing these while I'm doing my "army time" for the summer. Good cushioning, sweat wicking, and endurance. Only suggestion would be to remove some bulk, but that would effect the above. June 16, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Hikers02 Great socks for work boots My husband is very particular about the socks he wears in his work & hiking boots; for that matter, so am I. We both like these socks. They are comfortable for long days of standing on ladders or hiking on trails of the state parks. The wonderful thing for both of us is that they do NOT contain any wool. The cushioning in the sole and heel is adequate but could be just a tiny bit thicker. This is the only reason I gave them four stars instead of five. They come in three sizes which is amazing, so women with normal sized feet can buy the mediums with confidence. The large fits both my women's size 10 feet and my husband's size 12 feet. We currently own 12 pair between the two of us! I find they do best if machine washed and hung to dry. An amazing sock, especially for the money. May 1, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by WH Field & Stream Boot Socks The socks would not stay up on my leg. The socks would fall to my ankles. The cushioning in the foot is not really thick. Not as thick as the socks I've been wearing for a year or more. I returned them. April 14, 2015

Photography by Ian Spagnolo, Coffs Harbour & Sawtell
Ok – so I haven't exactly been regularly posting for a long time now due to a number of factors… but I'm back baby!
Finally I have rebuilt my desktop computer with what should be enough power to loom over a small pacific nation. New hardware, new operating system, and now one of those Adobe Creative Cloud people too… everything is so fresh and shiny and has that new car smell to it.
While having new stuff is always fun… what I am really looking forward to is going back through all the photos I have just been storing for the last 18 months or more, and finding what hidden gems I have. I know there are some rather large panoramas sitting on my hard drive that I can't wait to see.
Oh… and of course Summer is coming. Very much looking forward to serious catch up time with some sun, surf and sand.
I must ask… where is your favorite place for total relaxation?
Yes… it is true! Niyama Resort & Spa here in the Maldives is truly paradise.
Looking forward to sharing some more images from here with everyone… But it's time to go enjoy this place a little bit more if that is even possible.
Hi all… It's been so long since I have put a post up, but I have to start changing that starting……… now!
Anyone like a one of a kind handmade jewellery box? I recently shot some images of these two little beauties.
I would have thought that I was seeing in black & white if the sky was not such a beautiful blue while shooting in Game of Thrones country around the Mývatn district in Northern Iceland.
A few posts back, I showed you a peek from Behind The Lens at Goðafoss – Waterfall of the Gods. This is the image that I was taking of this amazing waterfall in the Mývatn district, Northern Iceland.
Goðafoss or Godafoss was named after Christianity became the official religion of Iceland around the year 1000, and the lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði, threw statues of the Norse Gods into the waterfall.
The Jetty is usually a nice vantage point to watch a sunrise from… and this morning did not disappoint in any way.
No matter where else I seem to travel in the world, I always love shooting seascape images around Coffs Harbour.
*Edit… this is my 400th post…. Woooooo! Thank you everyone for coming and checking out my images. :D
The troll Hvítserkur, forever frozen in time.
Legend is that the rock formation is a troll that was caught by sunrise and turned to stone. The formation is also known as Dinosaur Rock, and located in Northern Iceland.
I don't normally do a lot of B&W landscapes, but this one just works for me.
Sometimes you have to go that little bit further to get the shot you want… It was a little cold getting this shot so didn't hang around too long in this position.
Taken in Mývatn around where they shoot some of the hit TV series 'Game of Thrones'. Another stunning area to put on the must see list when you visit Iceland.
Standing in an ice-cave as large as this one is one of the most amazing views I have ever had. Like I have said, the play on light coming though the glass-like walls and roof is simply a sight to behold.
What do you do when you see a river flowing under millions of tonnes of ice? You attempt a panorama while standing in the river of fast flowing water course! I was not 100% happy with the reflections and shape of the roof, so I got the shot above which I like much more. What do you think… which is your preferred viewpoint?

Deus Ex: Human Revolution was a big success for both developer Eidos Montreal, and publisher Square Enix. One leading executive working on the game says that one of the reasons for this was the collaborative process that the team employed.
Speaking about the development process for Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Stephane D'Astous, the general manager at Eidos Montreal, told Gamasutra that the entire team was part of the narrative creation process mainly because members of the team "like to not do just one single thing during three years. I think we're trying to put into place the better conditions for craftsmanship, because the games that I personally enjoy, I see the quality of how they assemble all this together, and - for me, anyway - that's something, really, that distinguishes yourself between a regular product, and a great product. And smaller teams are better positioned to do that."
The executive also talked about the responsibilities that he now has, given the Eidos expansion in Canada, and added, "I was quite satisfied before I was asked to look into enlarging the footprint in Canada. I was starting to see a little bit more stability that we've built in three different phases. And I was glad to start now working a bit closer with the dev cycle guys."
The Montreal Eidos studio is at the moment working on a new Thief video game, which will probably be launched later during this year, while the new Canadian studio in Toronto will be handling the Hitman series in the coming years.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was launched during 2011 as a prequel to the classic game that started the series and it managed to capture the essence of the universe, while also introducing a number of new gameplay mechanics that are very modern.
The game received one significant DLC pack since launch and it is not clear whether Eidos Montreal plans to deliver any more.

Mailman just showed up and my eBay purchase was included. What do you think? Going to try something. These are Traxxas #3668; 2.8" wheels w/Talon tires. A tad bigger so the top end will be a bit faster, launch a little lazier which is good for low-traction spots along with the added width, and I can always re-gear if I want.

I just finsihed the body. I plan to go back and add some dark orange for some spots for rust/primer show-through to help that places that i've either scrathed through the paint layers to get the tape off and fix areas that I goof on the taping. I'm going to make it more of a madmax beat up look.
I was hoping to get some traxxas stickers for the body but they're too much. No Freebies for advertising I guess. The HPI body took some work to trim up but not much. mostly just around the wheel to make room for bottoming out. I am planning to try it again with teh same body but use the rear body mount from the stampede and mount it to the shock towers which will get me more rear height and thusly keep me from having to cut out the window like i did (ugh). I didn't think of it until I was up at HobbyTown in Concord and one of the pointed out that both have the same shock tower. Great folks. and I still to get a new set of springs for the rear and a 7cell...mwahhhh and yeah
I am using an off set for the front so I could use a 2.2 wheel set, the Pro-Line Dirt Paw 2.2" Truck Tires I got from amainhobby.

Adrian ZmedActor
Born: 4 March 1954
Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois
Best known as:
Officer Vince Romano on TV's T.J. Hooker
Adrian Zmed was a hunky and handsome actor of the 1980s, when he played an eager young cop on the TV show T.J. Hooker (with William Shatner) and hosted the TV series Dance Fever. Adrian Zmed grew up in Chicago, and his first big splash in show business came as a replacement in the Broadway cast of Grease as Danny Zuko (the role originated onstage by Barry Bostwick and later taken by John Travolta in the 1978 movie). Since T.J. Hooker, Adrian Zmed has worked in television and feature films only occasionally. His films include Bachelor Party (1984, starring Tom Hanks), Eyewitness to Murder (1991), Until Morning (2002), The Craving Heart (2006) and the TV movie Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas Spectacular (2007).
Extra credit:
Adrian Zmed speaks both English and Romanian... His son Zachary Zmed is a member of the band The Janks; the band's MySpace page describes its genre as "Folk/Death Metal/Glam."

With a smooth shooting stroke and a frail frame, Jeremy Lamb has never been one to confuse his strengths and weaknesses on a basketball court.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Jeremy Lamb realizes that defense is key to his NBA future
He's a gifted scorer with a natural feel for the offensive end. But defense? That's a different story.
"At first," Lamb admitted of his initial NBA days, "I didn't care about defense at all."
In Year 2, Lamb showed a ton of promise. Starting the season in the rotation, he burst through as a reliable bench scorer. At the All-Star break, he was averaging double-figures in 22 minutes per night.
But as his offense slumped late in the year, his playing time diminished. No longer shooting at an efficient enough rate, Thunder coach Scott Brooks couldn't justify leaving his defense on the court.
The positives on one end no longer outweighed the negatives on the other. Lamb was forced to sit back and watch. And as he did, the 22-year-old started to realize how important it is to be a two-way player.
"Seeing these players that lock you up, then go score on you, that motivates me," Lamb said, identifying Russell Westbrook as a guy whose defense taught him a ton.
"People really be scared to handle against him," Lamb said of Westbrook. "Or scared to make a soft pass. They're always looking over their shoulder, seeing where he's at. That's aggravating to the players that he plays against. He's one of the players that really inspired me to play both ways."
So Lamb has vowed to come back a better defender. To work out this offseason with an eye on improving his on-ball defense. To get stronger and sturdier.
"I think that's the biggest thing," Lamb said of individual defense. "Playing one-on-one, you really help your defense; helping keeping people in front of you."

The Stop & Shop Family Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Outcomes Clinic at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center helps patients manage the long-term effects of surviving a childhood brain or spinal cord tumor. It gives survivors and family members access to Dana-Farber's survivorship expertise, educational resources, and support groups. We offer a dedicated resource to address the unique needs of survivors of pediatric brain tumors.
When you visit the Outcomes Clinic, you can meet with specialists to address the medical, cognitive, and physical challenges of surviving a pediatric brain or spinal cord tumor. These challenges may include mild to severe memory loss, learning disabilities, difficulty with social adjustment, behavioral and emotional problems, seizures, slow growth, hormonal abnormalities, weight gain, and fertility issues, as well as a risk of second cancers.
You can be seen in the Outcomes Clinic if you were treated for a brain or spinal cord tumor at age 21 or younger and you have been off treatment for at least two years. You do not need to have been treated at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's in order to be seen in the clinic.
When you visit the Outcomes Clinic, our experts will work with you to learn about the challenges that you face, and find the resources and services that can help you overcome such challenges. At the end of your appointment, we'll give you a treatment plan, which is a summary of recommendations that can serve as a guide for living well and improving your quality of life. We offer:
When you and your family members visit the Outcomes Clinic, you'll have access to a wide range of educational resources and support groups specifically designed for survivors of brain or spinal cord tumors. You'll also have the opportunity to meet with other individuals who face similar challenges. We cluster appointments together, so that survivors with similar diagnoses can visit us on the same day and have a chance to meet one another. If you wish, you can join in a group discussion about the challenges often faced by survivors of brain or spinal cord tumors.
Dana-Farber offers a program called STEPS (Success Through Education, Psychosocial Support, and Socialization) that holds regular dinners where brain tumor survivors and their family members can meet to discuss common challenges and strategies. We also host an annual symposium for patients and experts from Dana-Farber working to address common issues faced by brain-tumor survivors as they transition from school to adulthood.
The Outcomes Clinic puts a strong emphasis on research, using knowledge about past brain tumor care to minimize the consequences of current and future treatments. Our researchers are helping develop more effective treatments, while at the same time finding ways to combat the long-term side effects of cancer treatment. This is part of our overall effort to provide the best possible quality of life for all cancer patients — past, present and future.
You may be eligible to participate in specific research studies, depending on your diagnosis and treatment. You can ask about such opportunities when you visit our clinic.
To learn more or to request an appointment at the Stop & Shop Family Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Outcomes Clinic, please call the clinic facilitator at 1-855-320-2096 or email email@example.com.
The Brain Tumor Center's Peter Manley, MD, discusses the issues that survivors of childhood brain cancers should know.

Seated statue of Amenhotep III
From the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III,
Thebes, Egypt
18th Dynasty, about 1350 BC
Intertwined symbols of Upper and Lower Egypt
Amenhotep III (1390-1352 BC) commissioned hundreds of sculptures for his mortuary temple on the west bank of the Nile at Thebes, though the precise original location of most of them is not known. Statues representing the seated ruler were probably intended to function as the recipients of offerings and prayers.
This statue shows Amenhotep III seated on a throne. On the sides of the throne are the intertwined symbols of the plants of Upper and Lower Egypt, representing the union of the two lands of Egypt, and illustrating the fact that it is the king who keeps them together.
Parts of several large statues from Amenhotep III's mortuary temple are now in The British Museum.

5 Free Apps to Keep in Your Toolbox
By HomeCentrl on May 10, 2012
There are numerous tools available to get a home improvement job done. There are screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches, ratchets, saws, and drills. There are pliers, bolt cutters, clamps, snips, routers, and sanders. There are...well, you get the idea. The list goes on and on. Each tool serves a purpose and it all adds up to a well completed project. However, there are some new tools in town and they aren't of the traditional variety. These "new kids on the block" are electronic tools, and (believe it or not) there are a few you should definitely be keeping in your toolbox.
Houzz - This app is hand-held inspiration. It brings you over 325,000 original photographs from industry professionals (i.e. architects, contractors, and interior designers) to help you find just the look you want for your remodel or to help your client find the style he or she prefers. After all, not every one defines modern the same way. You can separate photos by room and then by metro area or style. Houzz also gives you information (ex. price) on certain items in the photographs making it easier to duplicate what you're seeing. In addition, you can create personal "ideabooks" for future reference and share your favorite images on Twitter, Facebook, and via email. Note: Currently available for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. ColorSchemer - This app puts the rainbow at your fingertips. It brings you over a million color palettes to work with. If you find a palette you love you can "favorite" or email it. If a million palettes just aren't quite enough, ColorSchemer also allows you to create your own custom palettes using a color wheel, photograph, or spectrum tool. Every color has a hex value and RBG number attached to it making it easier for you to duplicate that color. Note: You will need to sign up for COLOURlovers (it's free) in order to create a list of favorite palettes and to participate in the community. Currently available for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. The Home Depot - More savings. More doing. You got that right! This app brings the "world's largest home improvement specialty retailer" (according to The Home Depot's "Our Company" page) to you. With this app you can research over 300,000 products, check store inventory (including aisle location), and purchase products. The Home Depot app also provides you with a toolbox that includes a "nut & bolt finder" to determine the size of a nut, bolt, or screw and tape measure based on your shoe size. In addition, you have access to drywall, floor, insulation, and interior paint calculators as well as a library of quick tip and product demo videos. Note: Currently available on the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android. Carpenter's Helper Lite - This app brings you the ability to do normal calculations (like those on a standard calculator) plus more. Carpenter's Helper Lite can convert measurements (ex. feet to yards), switch between English and metric measurements with the click of a button, and help you calculate pitch, rise, run, and diagonal. Don't worry about remembering all these numbers because the app also allows you to store numbers in a "memory bank" for future use and reference. Note: In the "lite" (free) version of this app you can only store three numbers in the memory bank at a time. Currently available on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Evernote - Think outside of the box your building. While not strictly a "home improvement" or "building" app, Evernote allows you to make notes, create to-do lists, record voice/audio reminders, and take photographs - it then makes all of these searchable for quick reference later on. Don't have your phone handy? Don't worry. Evernote allows you to sync your notes across all of your devices for easy access no matter where you are. In addition, you can share notes on Twitter, Facebook, and via email. This app will allow you to organize a project from start to finish. Note: Currently available on the iPhone, Mac, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android
When carrying out a home improvement project, whether you're a professional or a "do-it-yourselfer" it's important to always be prepared. Make sure you've got all the right tools for the job, and in today's techno-savvy world, some of those tools might just be electronic. Use the five free apps mentioned in this article plus the many, many more available to help you get that job done...and move on to the next one!

He opened a small confectionery shop in Bahçekapı and began to personally produce and sell varieties of candies and "lokum"s (Turkish Delights). Hacı Bekir confections, with their history of four different centuries, appeal to tastes in five continents today.
In the production of confectionery in Turkey dating back to the 16th century, honey and molasses were used as sweeteners, and water and flour as binding agents. In the beginning of the 19th century, sugar produced in European refineries began to appear in Turkey under the name 'kelle şekeri', and Hacı Bekir started to produce "akide"s (hard candies) of various colors and tastes using pounded and melted sugar and adding ingredients such as rose, cinnamon, mastic, orange and lemon.
After the discovery of starch by German scientist Kirchhoff in 1811, Hacı Bekir began to use this instead of flour and created his unique "lokum" with the combination of sugar and starch. His 'lokums' are still unparalleled and impossible to be reproduced in any other country, although efforts to imitate the texture of Turkish lokums have conduced to the invention of jelly candies in the western world.
In addition to developing various kinds of Turkish candies and lokums through his meticulous personal work, Hacı Bekir also became a legend with his almond candies made in swinging cauldrons and various almond pastes made by kneading and shaping boiled and peeled almonds with sugar and sherbet.
When the fame of Hacı Bekir's candies and lokums reached the Ottoman Palace, Sultan Mahmud II, the reformist sovereign who was the founder of the modern Ottoman, appointed him as Chief Confectioner to the Palace and also rewarded him with "Nişan-ı Ali Osmani", a medal of honor of the first degree.
It is rumored that while these were happening in İstanbul, an English tourist bought some lokums from Hacı Bekir and began to offer them around in England as "Turkish Delights", with the name he himself had invented. Lokum has ever since been known as "Turkish Delight" in general, particularly in English-speaking countries, and as "Lokoum" in France and the Balkans.
Ingrained in our culture and tradition as a significant element of Turkish-Ottoman history, Hacı Bekir has also featured in novels and articles documenting the lifestyle of the times, been penned by foreigners who were components of the İstanbul mosaic of the 19th and 20th centuries, and even been portrayed by the Maltese artist Amadeo Preziosi, one of the most famous of his era. The original painting of 43x58 cm, showing Hacı Bekir in his shop with details hinting to the lifestyle of the times now hangs in the Louvre Museum. A lithographic reproduction of the painting is exhibited as item number 214 in the Topkapı Palace.
Following the death of Hacı Bekir Effendi, first his son Mehmed Muhiddin Effendi, and after him, his grandson Ali Muhiddin Hacı Bekir took over the business. They continued with the same principles, talents and dedication, and the honorary title of Chief Confectioner to the Palace remained within the family for generations.
In 1873, Mehmed Muhiddin Effendi was charged by the palace to present Ottoman confections in a fair organized in Vienna under the care of Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. He returned home with a silver medal and, having observed that all western participants carried their own trademark, created the first ever trademark of the Ottomans and his company, using the silver medal as a logo.
Later, in 1888, confectioner Mehmed Muhiddin Effendi participated in the Cologne Fair organized under the care of Augusta, Empress of Germany and Queen of Prussia, and returned home with his second silver medal. In 1893, in the Chicago World's Fair celebrating the 40th anniversary of the arrival of Columbus to America, Mehmed Muhiddin realized the first production and sales of lokum there, introducing this specialty to the continent. In the Brussels Fair in 1897, he added gold medals to his trophies.
Ali Muhiddin, although quite young, took over when his father Mehmed Muhiddin passed away, and realized many breakthroughs with the help and support of his mother Reşide. His time was the golden era of the company. Gold medals were received in the Paris and Nice Fairs in France in 1906. The title of Chief Confectioner to the Palace was also granted to Ali Muhiddin.
Under the management of Ali Muhiddin Hacı Bekir the grandson, Hacı Bekir became a world class company with groundbreaking business enterprises on an international level. Near the end of the Ottoman Empire, in 1911, Ali Muhiddin was granted the title of Chief Confectioner by the Palace of Egypt as well. Master confectioners and lower staff were sent to open branches in Cairo and Alexandria, the two major cities of Egypt.
In the year 1926, in the first floating fair designed by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk to promote Turkish industry in North African and European countries, Hacı Bekir confectioneries took their place on the steamer Karadeniz to be exhibited for 90 days along with the limited number of industrial and agricultural products of the times.
In the 1930's, the company participated and received gold medals again in the Nice and Paris Fairs in France; and Thessaloniki in 1937 and New York World's Fair in 1939. Participating in the most prestigious food and confectionery fairs such as 1965 Marseilles; 1971, 2002 and 2004 Paris; 1985, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2009 Cologne; 1986 and 2006 Moscow; 1987, 2005 – 2007 London; 1991 Baku; and 2007 and 2007 New York, Hacı Bekir is still going ahead with the company's promotional mission.
With local agents in many foreign countries, the company is engaged in manufacturing, retail and wholesale, and exports of lokums, hard candies, nut pastes, dragees, halvas, bitter almond and other biscuits, cakes and various pastries.
During their expansion process, the Hacı Bekir Company, carrying the name of three generations, added the branch stores in Karaköy, Galata, Tepebaşı, Pangaltı, Çarşıkapı, Beyoğlu, Parmakkapı, and Kadıköy to their original central store in Bahçekapı.
As the oldest company in Turkey and one of the 100 oldest of the world, the products manufactured by Hacı Bekir Industries, Inc. are forwarded to the market through various distributors, a franchise company, and four retail stores owned by Ali Muhiddin Hacı Bekir Commerce, Inc.
Run by family members of the fourth and fifth generations, the company continues to create the best and most delicious sweets in the world with an ever-expanding accumulation of knowledge dating back to two and a half centuries ago. The following lines from the world famous TV series 'Law and Order' summarize this fact for all: "The best sweets in the world, from Hacı Bekir. I brought them from İstanbul."
Today, the fifth generation of the family in business and the personnel from all levels of the Hacı Bekir Company proudly share the good fortune of being the epitome of quality and taste at home and abroad for so many generations.
Inventors of different tastes are the architects of culture… Hacı Bekir Effendi, blending and integrating the flavors of his own style into the national culture, has managed to realize a progress of evolutionary scale during his short lifetime, leaving behind a world heritage and a rich garden of sweets for the İstanbul Cuisine. We don't know whether he had expected his vision to reach future centuries, spread world-wide and break new ground in culinary arts when he first opened his modest shop on a street of the İstanbul of yore, at the times of eulogy shows, shadow puppetry and folk poems. What we know for sure is that the history of Hacı Bekir Effendi and his successors sets a unique example of the powerful and successful combination of our deep-rooted cultural richness with the technological developments of modern times, being a source of pride for us all.
Hacı Bekir will always be more than happy to welcome those who would like to inhale the scent of history and savor the exquisite tastes of nature artistically reflected on confections…

Wreck-It Ralph: Game Character Cameos Revealed.
Opening scene revealed at CinemaCon shows some early favourites.
If there's one thing that's guaranteed to catch our interest, it's a movie based on classic videogames – here's a case in point – and happily enough, Disney have one such project currently in development, the upcoming Wreck-It Ralph.
Following Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly), a villain from an 8-bit Donkey Kong-style game, Fix It Felix Jr, the film is set in the world of arcade games, and seems to be taking a similar tone to Toy Story. Ralph tires of being the villain, and crosses into other games to try and become a hero.
Disney revealed an almost-finished opening to the film at CinemaCon, which reportedly includes cameos from a number of classic game villains. Obviously if you want to avoid very minor spoilers look away now, but the scene is reported to have included Dr. Robotnik (Sonic the Hedgehog), Bowser (Super Mario Bros.), Kano (Mortal Kombat), a ghost (Pac-Man), Zangief (Street Fighter) and Coily the Snake (Q*Bert).
This is pretty exciting news, if it's a sign of how the film intends to go on – including just these few characters already has our nostalgia buds going, and we can't wait to see more of the film.
Thanks to Slash Film for the story.

Tampa, FL -- The City of Tampa is breathing life back into a dying community by injecting $1.4 million into its Sulphur Springs neighborhood.
The money will go toward cleaning up the community, the demolition of abandoned houses and building 25 brand new single family homes.
The efforts are to revitalize the community so that so that people like James Mincey and his neighbors can feel safe again.
"When I first moved out here there were a lot of problems," said Mincey. "But they've got it cleaned up and started tearing down old houses and building and making it look good."
Mincey has lived in Sulphur Springs for nearly three decades and said it feels good to see change.
"I like to see the neighborhood grow, it's growing beautifully and I like that."
Mincey's neighbor, Tom Bray, is a bit skeptic, though.
"Every time I see the City come in, they all leave out, and it's just back to being bad again," said Bray.
We took Bray's concerns to Mayor Bob Buckhorn.
"I can tell you if we did nothing it would be far worse," said Mayor Buckhorn. "I'm not going to fix the whole problem but I can change small portions of my little world and make it better for the people that live here and I intent to do that."
Mayor Buckhorn has partnered with TECO to add more than 400 street lights.
The City has also increased police presence all to make Sulphur Springs neighborhood a safer place to live.

Relief efforts begin after Philippine typhoon
(AP) – The U.S. and other governments and agencies are mounting a major relief effort to help victims of the Philippine typhoon.
Brian Goldbeck, the acting ambassador at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, issued a disaster declaration to provide an immediate $100,000 for relief efforts. Officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development are deployed around the country to monitor the damage.
Other charities working to provide relief in the Philippines include:
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said it has allocated $2 million for the disaster response and officials joined a UN-Government assessment mission to survey damage in Leyte and Samar provinces.
WFP said it will send more than 40 tons of high energy biscuits and work with the Filipino government to help with logistics and emergency communications systems. It asks for donations at
http://www.wfpusa.orgor by texting the word AID to 27722 to instantly donate $10.
UNICEF said that its staff in the Philippines is being repositioned to help in relief efforts and that 66 tons of emergency supplies are being sent from Copenhagen. An airlift set to arrive on Tuesday will include water purification systems, storage equipment and sanitation supplies. Donations can be made to UNICEF at unicef.org/support.
The American Red Cross said it has deployed two people to assist with assessments in the Philippines and activated its family tracing services. It asked those looking to support relief efforts to mail a check to their local American Red Cross chapter, with "Philippines Typhoons and Flood" in the memo line. Go to redcross.org for local chapter information or redcross.org.ph to donate directly to the Philippine Red Cross.
Catholic Relief Services is accepting donations on its website, emergencies.crs.org, as it begins moving supplies and staff to respond to the typhoon.
World Vision said it is putting together resources to assist 1.2 million people, including food, hygiene kits, emergency shelter and protection. It asked for one-time donations to be made at worldvision.org.

2010 Beauty Packaging Identity Trends
By: Aniko Hill
Posted: April 6, 2010, from the April 2010 issue of GCI Magazine.
Designs that are inspired by collage or scrapbooks is a recent packaging identity trend popping up in multiple beauty categories. Many of the packages that fall within this trend also utilize illustration, such as Urban Decay's Show Pony Shadow Box—featuring the work of LA artist Kime Buzzelli.
page 2 of 5Many of the rustic identity trends occur in primary packaging. In the fragrance category, the John Varvatos Artisan cologne is packaged in a glass flask wrapped in a hand-woven rattan material. The Diesel Fuel For Life cologne is housed in a weathered fabric material with loose stitching around the sides that feels like a vintage canteen. In addition to a rugged material or identity being part of the primary packaging, these rustic materials are also used in secondary packaging with a more traditional construction. In skin care, the Body Shop Hemp Heroes gift set is presented in a carton made from a material meant to resemble wicker, helping to communicate the environmentally friendly composition of the product.
Trend #2: Handmade/Collage
Designs that are inspired by collage or scrapbooks is another recent packaging identity trend popping up in multiple beauty categories. These identities often contain bright colors, hand-drawn elements and playful typography, referencing the playful nostalgia of a teenage bedroom wall. Others are more understated, with handwriting playing a central role in the logo mark or in the packaging design graphics. The overall look of the collage-inspired trend is artsy and hip, and creates a unique personality for the product. Many of the products embodying this identity seem to be skewed toward teen and tween markets.
The technique of this trend is combining elements that may be unexpected, whether they are materials or graphic elements. The design of Sarah Jessica Parker's NYC fragrance utilizes a juxtaposition of colorful graphic patterns to create a visual representation of expressive fabrics and references to high fashion. Many of the packages that fall within this trend also utilize illustration. Urban Decay's Show Pony Shadow Box features the work of LA artist Kime Buzzelli, known for her paintings of fashionable women with makeup running down their cheeks. Some of these packages even mix photography and illustration for a true collage reference—the design of Smashbox's Heartbreaker palette has photos with a graphic photo edge layered onto faux handmade doodles, with a handwriting-inspired logo mark and the word "Hot" written in what looks like a teen girl's handwriting.
In addition to colorful and playful collage and scrapbook designs, a more simple handwriting identity approach is also seen within this trend. These products generally have a clean color palette or very little color at all—most often in simple black and white. Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush products and the fragrance Black by Kenneth Cole both have a handwriting graphic packaging design identity with clean black, white and gray color palettes. Lush has utilized the handwriting theme as the sole visual expression of the packaging for its handmade bath and body products, which is a more literal expression of the product itself.
Trend #3: Sustainable
The general green or eco-friendly trend has been going on for several years now, but brands are being challenged to push themselves beyond simply using recycled paper stocks or bottles. Many brands are going a step further and using truly sustainable, renewable, reclaimed, biodegradable, and vegan materials and ingredients in their beauty products—and in their packaging. In this trend, many of the packages that have sustainable packaging are for products also made with environmentally and ethically responsible ingredients.

Redmond Cops Use Drugs as Excuse to Establish Warrantless Checkpoint
Posted By admin On April 10, 2010 @ 9:50 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Police State | Comments Disabled
April 10, 2010
Redmond police, trying a new method to address drug trafficking through the city, set up a special enforcement operation on the North Highway 97 Reroute Thursday afternoon, stopping drivers for traffic violations and searching some vehicles if they had cause to believe drugs might be found.
The "focused traffic patrols" took place between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m., and warning signs were placed along the highway, advising motorists that drug detection dogs could be working in the area, said Lt. Nathan Garibay.
"If, when vehicles were stopped for traffic violations, police had any reason to believe there might have been drugs involved, they furthered their investigation and had the dog check the car," said Capt. Brian McNaughton.
Two people were arrested on drug charges, including the driver of a semi truck that was pulled over and searched, turning up a small quantity of cocaine, McNaughton said.

Too Needy? Be Careful!
In general, being too needy is a truism. If you appear too interested in someone, if you call or e-mail constantly, if you send or give too many gifts or do too many nice actions which are unreciprocated, you could be in the process of losing the person's interest.
If we're talking about passion - not long-term love - sadly, it can sometimes be built on scarcity. If you're in this situation, perhaps the way to keep someone's heart beating faster is by: Being slightly unreliable about your feelings; not being completely committed; or being intrigued but not smoothing someone. If you truly love someone, demonstrating this behavior can have very bad consequences for you; the other person could think you're not interested enough and move on.
This behavior seems wrong on some levels; playing games isn't something advised for most because they simply can't do it. However, for some, you might be tapping into something wired into our mammalian behavior. For example, if you chase after a horse, the horse often will run away from you. But if you have the horse's attention, and then turn your back and walk away, the horse often will follow. You can try this behavior on almost any domesticated animal. If they're interested in you at all, they'll follow.
The dilemma about not being too easy, too needy or showing all your love and interest, is it takes away from the breathtaking feelings produced when you're passionately in love or you have a big crush on someone. When you're totally smitten with someone, you want them to know it, and you want to show it. You want to be with them, touch them, do nice things for them or call, just to hear their voice.
Now, if the feelings are mutual, it's really hard to resist being too needy. You're both: Saying I love you; are calling/e-mailing all the time; or are all over each other at every given opportunity. Still, even when you're head-over-heels about someone, at least in the early months, you really want to establish and keep some boundaries. You'll know if they're in the same frame of mind by their reaction to your calls, e-mails, etc. Always say honest things, but make it clear you're still your own person. Yes, you want to share a lot of your time with this person - if they're interested - but, you aren't someone who can be taken for granted.
This behavior's particularly important in the beginning of a relationship. Over time, you'll be able to evaluate, and be evaluated, with a clearer head. You'll be able to see why you should, or should not, be together. At the outset of your relationship, in order to help it grow, ensure you show honest affection. However, don't demonstrate you're totally signed, sealed and delivered. It's a delicate dance between two individuals. For some, a little bit held back makes it more likely the relationship will go forward; for others it won't. Too much held back, and you could short-circuit the build up of love and a lifetime together.
You have to feel your way forward, and come out somewhere in the middle of giving everything and giving enough. Be honest in your approach, pay attention to the signals the other person is giving you and act accordingly. Remember, your heart is at stake, along with a life-long relationship. It'll all be worth it when you find your perfect match!

The Timber Heritage Association has been collecting timber related artifacts for almost thirty years. The time period represented in the collection is the 1870s through the 1960s with the predominance coming from the last two decades of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century.
The collection is located at ten different sites. Since loss of the Glendale storage site, the bulk of the artifacts were moved to Humboldt Bay Forest Products property in Fields Landing and the Boiler Shop and Roundhouse which are part of the historic Samoa Shops complex. The Arcata & Mad River diesel, a large A & MRR speeder, a lumber car and a caboose body are stored at Humboldt Flakeboard in Arcata. A former Pacific Lumber Company steam locomotive is stored on a siding on the Wilmington & Western tourist railroad in Wilmington, Delaware. Miscellaneous parts to the locomotive are stored in a THA owned container at the restoration facility where the locomotive will be moved shortly in Strasburg, Pennsylvania. A heavyweight passenger car is stored at Simpson Timber Company's Brainard plant (Arcata). Some smaller items and archival items are stored at the Samoa Cookhouse. In addition several items are on loan to other museums and entities. A log car, riding car, steam donkey, log arch and rail material are on loan to Fort Humboldt State Historic Park. The Association's operable Clyde Track Layer is on loan to the Roots of Motive Power museum in Willits. Several other smaller items are on loan to the Samoa Cookhouse and the Eureka Chamber of Commerce.
A significant aspect of the collection is that it is all local. Most museums begin collecting artifacts when the museum is created. On a tour of the excellent High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon, the docent mentions that this artifact was from California, this from Washington, etc. The proposed Timber Heritage Museum has the advantage of having begun the collection thirty years before the museum will begin to display them. The collection began when valuable artifacts were more readily available. At the same time, since timber was such a major, large industry locally, the artifacts are also representative of all western timber history. Many of these artifacts are significant and unique. Several artifacts at Fort Humboldt State Historic Park will be mentioned here though they are not owned by the Association. The Logging Exhibit located there, as previously mentioned, is "temporary." If a substantial Timber Heritage Museum is established locally, it is possible and has been mentioned informally, the State's collection might be merged with the THA collection. The two small, early locomotives are very significant artifacts. Their design was patented by a local inventor, John Dolbeer in 1883. They are the only locomotives still in existence that were built by Marshutz & Cantrell of San Francisco. These are examples of the type of locomotives first used on logging railroads in the west. They both are operable and are therefore among only a small number of locomotives that ancient which still operate. In the entire United States and Canada, only 11 locomotive operate that are older than the 1884 Elk River Mill & Lumber Co. No.1 and only 14 are older than Bear Harbor Lumber Co. No. 1. The latter operates with its original lap seam boiler; very few, if any, locomotives carry that distinction. The park has several Dolbeer steam donkeys; there are a number of these in museums but these are unique in that they were invented here. THA's Clyde Track Layer is an example of many devices invented to make tasks associated with logging faster. This machine, built by a company in Duluth, Minnesota, was purchased by logging companies all over the world. Only two are still in existence, however, and this remaining machine is the only one that operates. THA's CAT 60 tractor was one of six purchased by Hammond Lumber Company in 1928 to experiment with a new form of logging, tractor logging. THA has an unusual Heisler locomotive that was turned into a diesel by a local lumberman. This type of innovation characterized the local lumber industry. Two of the locomotives in the THA collection were owned by Hammond Lumber Co. and frequented the Samoa roundhouse; No. 15 was regularly housed there and was used on the mainline haul between Crannell and Samoa.

When a cell divides, the genetic information is apportioned equally into both resulting cells. To do this, fibres cluster around the two strands of each chromosome to pull them apart. However, the process is never perfect and generates genetic faults that cause our tissues to age and, in certain circumstances can also trigger cancer. Scientists have found a protein called POLO that plays a crucial role in regulating cell division. Here, we see two cells, taken from fruit flies, in the process of dividing. White spots show the points where the fibres (stained green) have attached to the chromosome pair (coloured blue) to pull it apart. On the right, the spots are arranged in neat pairs, showing normal cell division. But in the cell on the left, without POLO, the spots are disorganised, indicating that the chromosomes are being pulled apart unequally, causing the cell serious damage.

"This Book, Christmas of 1983, The ""Birthing"" Of A Ministry, A Christmas to Remember, was a very unusual Christmas to say the least, of which was unique in every way and heartbreaking at the same time. Through major upheavals and changes in our lives and many adversities and conditions in our lives at the time were very poor. Having to leave a house, I owned, and the children where the children and I lived because of the violence fighting, and lack of marital harmony and again a 3rd attempt on my life.
A situation in which, I could not see myself in a position to even think that I could be considered to be used of God, especially with or while going through that particular situation, as such, even though, I had been ordained as a Missionary Evangelist, only a few months, prior at latter of the year before. I did not want to be ordained in the fi rst place because of the problems, I was experiencing at home and was not quite sure where it would lead or I would end up. But evidently, the fi nal decision was not mine, but God's.
But there is a Scripture that tells us, "what the devil meant for evil," God will make it good", (paraphrased). There would be so many different direction(s) to turn. But, God himself had a plan in mind. He would work a change in our lives as we knew it, forever. And He would prove himself in the process, to be God. Hallelujah!
Yes, God could have done things in a different manner, but He chose to manifest himself in another way. You see God has a Plan, a Purpose and a method by which to fulfill His Plan."
