text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No SH-92165 ) Plaintiff ) ) ) Citation No: L6260-021-92 ) DAREN RICHARD OSTLIE ) ) Defendant ) OPINION AND ORDER Pursuant to notice, a hearing convened February 15, 1994 in Portland, Oregon, before Referee Michael V. Johnson and was recorded by Sandy Madden of Harris Reporting Service. Plaintiff, Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division (OR-OSHA) was represented by Assistant Attorney General Kevin Shuba. Defendant, Daren Richard Ostlie, was represented by Attorney George Goodman. ISSUES Citation No. L6260-021-92 (Ex. 1) Whether the entire citation should be dismissed as invalid because it arose out of an improper inspection. If the citation is valid, whether the employer engaged in one or more unsafe activities on or about January 16, 1991. The parties expressly agreed that the sole issue in this session of the hearing would be the employer's Motion to Dismiss, and that only if the Referee denied said motion would a continued hearing on the merits be subsequently scheduled. EXHIBITS At the outset of the hearing, exhibits 1-3, 5-11 were admitted into evidence, but at the conclusion of the hearing the employer's attorney moved to exclude Exhibits 2 through 6, which request was ultimately granted on the theory that those exhibits flowed from an incorrect inspection and, therefore, could not be used as evidence. During the hearing Ex. 12, 13 and A (the Forest Service contract) were admitted into evidence. Not admitted was Ex. B, a "contract daily diary", which, of course, continues in the record for purposes of appeal. FINDINGS OF FACT Employer Daren Richard Ostlie was awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service ("U.S. Forest Service") to blast the tops of live conifer trees located solely within the Mt. Hood National Forest on public lands owned by the United States. The purpose of this contracted service was to create wildlife habitat. The employer's performance of this contract was overseen by the U.S. Forest Service contracting officer's representative. The contract specified certain safety obligations of the employer. The U.S. Forest Service had the right to inspect employer's work and camp-site at any time and did so. Daren Ostlie hired his younger brother, Jason Ostlie, to work as an employee. During operations on December 16, 1991, Jason Ostlie was accidentally injured due to a premature detonation of dynamite he had prepared in a tree located within the Mt. Hood National Forest. The employer was the first one on the scene and immediately used a cellular telephone to send for an ambulance. An ambulance from Estacada, Oregon, responded and stabilized employee Jason Ostlie. A "life flight" was then called for and soon the employee was flown to Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Oregon. By that time U.S. Forest personnel were on the scene so the employer asked one Forest Service employee to "secure" the dynamite and other blasting materials, which was promptly done. The employer left the premises by private vehicle and traveled to the hospital. The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division ("OR-OSHA") was notified of the accident on December 17, 1991 and OR-OSHA Safety Compliance Officer ("SCO") Bruce Lawson arrived at the Estacada Ranger Station at 2:30 p.m. that afternoon. Guy Price, Contract Office Representative for the U.S. Forest Service, and William Cortain, Head Blaster for the Mt. Hood National Forest, U.S. Forest Service were present. Neither Daren Ostlie, nor anyone employed by Daren Ostlie, was present at the Ranger Station. The U.S. Forest Service knew the injured worker had been flown for emergency medical care at the Emanuel Hospital in Portland. The Forest service also knew the employer's address and phone number and had frequently communicated with him during the course of the contract, and knew the employer was probably at his brothers side in the hospital. No one made any effort to locate the employer. SCO Lawson presented his "credentials" and conducted an "opening conference" with those individuals who were present at the ranger station. At approximately 3:00 p.m. that same day SCO Lawson went to the accident site before attempting contact with, or presenting credentials to, the employer. Guy Price and William Cortain accompanied SCO Lawson to the site. SCO Lawson first arrived at the accident site at approximately 3:30 p.m. Neither Daren Ostlie nor anyone employed by Daren Ostlie was at the accident site at that time. SCO Lawson took photographs and interviewed Price and Cortain. The artifacts of the accident and the accident site were not disturbed. SCO Lawson, Price and Cortain left the accident site around 4:00 p.m. as night was falling. They returned to the Estacada Ranger Station. SCO Lawson then inquired about the best way to contact the employer, Daren Ostlie. Price contacted Daren Ostlie, and arranged a meeting at the Estacada Ranger Station for the next day, (December 18, 1991) at 1:00 p.m. SCO Lawson then left to return to Salem. On the morning of December 18, 1991, SCO Lawson, together with fellow SCO Fritz Schukar, returned to the Estacada Ranger Station, reviewed the U.S. Forest Service contract folder, and then returned to the accident site to take measurements. SCOs Lawson and Schukar were again accompanied to the site by Price and Cortain. No representative of the employer had been invited to go to the site with SCO Lawson. No representative of the employer was present. On this second visit to the site, the wires and other evidence which related to the blast were moved from their positions, thereby obscuring whatever might have been the original condition of those wires and items. Returning to the Estacada Ranger Station at 1:00 p.m. on December 18, 1991, SCOs Lawson and Schukar met with Daren Ostlie for the first time. They presented their credentials, conducted an opening conference, and interviewed Daren Ostlie. Following the investigation by SCOs Lawson and Schukar, OR-OSHA issued a citation to the employer for seven violations of the Oregon Safe Employment Act for alleged activities of the employer arising out of the employer's performance of the employer's contract with the U.S. Forest Service. Employer's activities that gave rise to the citation took place solely on public lands of the United States within the Mt. Hood National Forest. These federal lands were located within the boundaries of the state of Oregon. The employer has appealed the citation. OPINION APPLICABLE LAW OR-OSHA, like any other agency, is "a creature of statute whose authority extends as far as the statutes extend and no further." Ochoco Construction v. Department of Land Conservation and Development, 56 Or App 36, 641 P2d 49, 53 (1982). The provisions of the agency's enabling statute are protection against arbitrary or inadequately informed government conduct. Dika v. Department of Insurance and Finance, 312 Or 106, 109, 817 P2d 287, 288 (1991). ORS 654.067 provides:"In order to carry out the purposes of ORS 654.001 to 654.295 and 654.750 to 654.780, the director, upon presenting appropriate credentials to the owner, employer or agent in charge, is authorized: (a) to enter without delay and at reasonable times any place of employment and (b) to inspect and investigate during regular working hours ***any such place of employment***. ***(4)A representative of the employer ... shall be given the opportunity to accompany the director during the inspection of any place of employment for the purpose of aiding such inspection." ORS 654.067(4) (emphasis added).ORS 654.071(1) provides:If the director or an authorized representative of the director has reason to believe, after inspection or investigation of a place of employment, that an employer has violated any State occupational safety or health law, regulation, standard rule or order, the director or the authorized representative shall with reasonable promptness issue to such employer a citation, and notice of proposed civil penalty, if any to be assessed under this chapter and affix a reasonable time for correction of the alleged violation." (emphasis added).OR-OSHA is not only bound by its enabling legislation, but is also equally bound by applicable Administrative Rules APD v. Asana, 110 Or App 103, 107, 821 P2d 432 (1991); Moore v. Oregon State Penitentiary, Correction Division, 16 Or App 536, 537, 519 P2d 389 (1974). Administrative Rules and regulations, once properly promulgated, have the same force and effect as statutes enacted by the Legislature. Bronson v. Moonen, 270 Or 469, 476, 528 P2d 82, 85 (1974); Harsh Investment Corporation v. State Housing Division, 88 Or App 151, 744 P2d 588 (1987). OAR 437-01-065(2) requires:"A Compliance Office, if possible, shall present his/her credentials to an employer or employer's representative to establish the Compliance Officer's right of entry."OAR 437-01-015(24) defines "employer representative as :"An individual selected by the employer, to serve as spokesperson, or, in the absence of a selected spokesperson, the person in charge of the place of employment at the time of the inspection."OAR 437-01-075 requires that"the Compliance Officer shall, if possible, conduct a joint opening conference with the employer or a representative, and a representative of the employees, if any ***"OAR 437-01-080(3) provides:"No inspection will be made if neither the employer, employer representative, nor employees are present at the place of employment, except when executing an inspection warrant as provided in ORS 654.216(2) or when posting a Red Warning Notice as provided in ORS 654.082."DECISION The employer argues that OR-OSHA violated statutes and rules in (1) presentation of credentials, (2) conducting the opening conference, and (3) in the inspection. Since all alleged errors basically arose out of the same fact pattern I do not break down the government conduct for purposes of analysis. The SCO presented his credentials to those U.S. Forest Service employees at the Estacada office. The SCO failed to present credentials at any time prior to the inspection to the employer or an employer representative at any time prior to the inspection. The SCO made no effort to conduct an opening conference with the employer. OR-OSHA conducted an inspection, without a warrant, of the work site while the employer and all of his employees were absent. In fact, both inspections of the employer's place of employment were completed prior to the SCOs first meeting with an employer representative. Exceptions The rules, and perhaps even the statutes, grant some leeway in the requirements regarding presenting credentials to an employer, conducting an opening conference, and obtaining the employer's presence during the inspection. The next question is whether the conduct of OR-OSHA, though ostensibly not in compliance with the law, falls under any of those slight exceptions. Owner The evidence established that the Safety Compliance Officer made no effort to contact the employer, but rather, believed that the U.S. Forest Service was the owner of the premises per ORS 654.067, and therefore, was a bona fide party to whom credentials could be presented and with whom an opening conference could be held in lieu of the actual employer or employer representative. I disagree with that opinion. I understand the statute to require that, regardless whether the owner is presented with credentials, the employer or the employer's agent in charge must be presented. I have the same opinion regarding conducting the opening conference and the inspection. Person in Charge OR-OSHA further argues that, pursuant to OAR 437-01-015(24), the U. S. Forest Service was a correct party in the absence of the employer since it was "...the person in charge of the place of employment at the time of the inspection," and, therefore was the employer representative. However, I don't feel the Forest Service was "in charge of the place of employment". If it had been in charge, perhaps it should have been cited for operating an unsafe place of employment! No, actually its' role was as a contractor who had contracted for a bona fide employer to come onto its premises and perform certain contracted-for tasks. It had the normal contractual remedies if Daren Ostlie failed to perform, but was not the employer of Ostlie, nor an insurer he would perform well and/or safely. The fact that the work was performed on its premises did not make the U.S. Forest Service "in charge of the place of employment" any more than a typical landlord would be in charge of whatever business occupied a rented business premise. The government had some jurisdiction over the employer as an occupant of public lands as it would any other camper or occupant, but not over the employers' status as an employer. Not Impossible I conclude that this is not a case in which it was truly impossible to communicate with the employer and to see whether he desired to accompany the Safety Compliance Officer during the inspection--in fact, it probably would not have been even particularly difficult to make such arrangements. Not only had the U.S. Forest Service been in regular communication with the employer and knew his current address and phone number, but the Forest Service also knew of the whereabouts of the employer's injured brother (employee Jason Ostlie), and should reasonably have supposed that the employer would be available at that location, as well. Because the SCO had ample opportunity to discuss this matter with the U S. Forest Service before actually embarking upon the first inspection, it probably would have been relatively simple for the SCO to arrange to meet with the employer before credentials were presented and, of course, before the inspections took place. Therefore, the fact that the inspection was conducted without the mandatory presentation of credentials and conducting of an opening conference cannot be excused on the grounds of impossibility. Not emergency This was no longer an emergency situation. The SCO testified that they were concerned that snow might obliterate part of the evidence at the injury site, but I do not find that to be the sort of emergency which might possibly justify conducting an inspection without even an effort to communicate with the employer. Arguably, there may have been instances in history when it was correct to proceed with a prompt and even emergency inspection when other employees were continuing to be at risk because of a given hazard, but this certainly was not one of those cases. The SCO knew that any remaining dynamite and other blasting apparatus had been "secured" and did not present a threat to any other employees or the general public. Results of incorrect OR-OSHA conduct My conclusion, based upon the foregoing reasoning, is that there was no proper presentation or opening or inspection. The next question then is what effect, if any, does that have upon the citation which issued. The employer argues that the statutory use of the word "shall" is clearly mandatory, and I agree. The employer then argues that OR-OSHA actions outside of the scope of its rules are invalid. See Georgia-Pacific Corp. v. Kight, (91-09579; CA A79871) (1994) (reversing the Workers' Compensation Board's decision to grant a continuance because such action was inconsistent with its own mandatory rules). I agree that the conduct of OR-OSHA was incorrect and that the government entity cannot be allowed to proceed through hearing on the basis of the citation which was incorrectly obtained, and also to use the evidence obtained in the faulty inspection to carry its burden of proof in the relation to the citation. Something must be done, the only question is what is the correct action to be taken. The employer presented two models of how to deal with an invalid inspection: (1) to simply exclude all evidence garnered as a result of an incorrect and, therefore, invalid inspection; or (2) to outright dismiss the resultant citation. At hearing, I initially ruled that the correct remedy was to simply exclude all evidence, but after re-thinking that decision, I reversed my ruling and decided that the correct remedy was to completely invalidate, or vacate, the faulty citation. The reasons for that change were clearly set forth at the hearing and will not be repeated at this time. However, one reason for an out-right vacation is that the evidence was physically tampered with (albeit innocently) when the employer was not there, so he has been hopelessly prejudiced from that moment onward. ATTORNEY FEE Once the ruling was made at hearing to vacate the citation, there still remained the question whether OR-OSHA should be required to somehow compensate claimant because of the attorney's fees claimant incurred in defending against what turned out to be an invalid citation. The employer's attorney cited the time and expense for which that attorney had billed the employer in defending against the citation, particularly focussing upon the fact that at one point it seemed that it would be possible to conduct the procedural aspect of the hearing strictly based upon "stipulated facts", and obviate the necessity of any individual traveling to a hearing and yet OR-OSHA finally would not consent to proceeding in that particular fashion. Although it does appear that the employer's legal costs were increased because OR-OSHA did not agree to stipulated facts, I know of no remedy available to employer which would assuage the expense of the attorney's fees. Therefore, that portion of the employer's motion is denied. ORDER NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: (1) The February 7, 1992 citation, Optional Report No. L6260-021-92 is hereby vacated. (2) There being no pending citation, this forum has no jurisdiction, and the matter is dismissed. (3) OR-OSHA shall not be required to reimburse the employer for any attorney fees incurred in defense against said citation. NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES: You are entitled to judicial review of this Order. Proceedings for review are to be instituted by filing a petition in the Court of Appeals, Supreme Court Building, Salem, Oregon 97310, within 60 days following the date this Order is entered and served as shown hereon. The procedure for such judicial review is prescribed by ORS 183.480 and ORS 183.482. ENTERED at Salem, Oregon, on April 4, 1994 WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD Michael V. Johnson Referee

My wife toook out a restraining order on me in Nov. It's ays I have to pay her 200 for my son. Our divorce went through on Dec 28th, that states I have Primary custody of him. This is in Texas. I have not spoken to her in almost 2 weeks my son as well. In the divorce decree it states that since i have primary custody of my son,she has to pay me 300 dollars a month for him. I go to school and she is in the army. My question is since the divorce is final does the restraining order void out if i have primary custody of my son, because it says i can't take him out of state but nothing in there saying i have to stay away from him. If it does, does she have to start paying me even if my son does not live with me.

My wife toook out a restraining order on me in Nov. It's ays I have to pay her 200 for my son.
Are you saying that in connection with the restraining order, the court also ordered you to pay child support? Was this to be a one time payment or was it $200 per week/month/whatever?
since the divorce is final does the restraining order void out
Well...what, if anything, does the divorce decree say about the restraining order? Did the same judge who issued the restraining order issue the divorce decree? If not, did you take any steps to notify the judge who handled your divorce about the existence of the restraining order? If it was the same judge, did you remind him/her at the time of your final hearing in the divorce about the restraining order issued the month before?
The divorce decree won't automatically void the restraining order, and it's possible that both are in effect. If that's the case, you may need to apply to the court to vacate the restraining order in light of the divorce decree.

The comedic bit between Bryan Cranston and Julia Louis-Dreyfus definitely impressed the fans of the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards. Both entertainers are accomplished in their own right, but they once worked together on "Seinfeld." The chance to see the two stars again had people giddy to start with, but when they kissed on national television everyone was going a little bit crazy. According to the Huffington Post on Monday night, the two stars started the bit on stage when presenting an award.
During the exchange before the nominees were announced, Julia Louis-Dreyfus referenced that Bryan Cranston looked like a guy once on "Seinfeld." The banter went back and forth before Bryan Cranston suggested they kissed on the show. Of course Julia Louis-Dreyfus just shrugged it off and the moment moved on. Her lack of interest was absolutely hilarious and she appeared so serious.
Later on when accepted an award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy the two stars had another encounter in the audience and once again the issue of working together came up. That's when Julia Louis-Dreyfus got a big kiss from Bryan Cranston in an epic moment that will go down in Emmy history as it was too funny to ignore.
With so many entertainers at the Nokia Theatre, it is safe to suggest that nothing spices up an Emmy Awards like a make-out session between two married actors! For "Seinfeld" fans it was a moment to remember as well as the show is part of TV history and every guy Elaine (Julia's character) dated was scrutinized by the fans.

Another great RSS resource. Subscribed
UPDATE: the actual RSS feed was at
although all of snopes appears to be unresponsive at this precise moment. I have gotten material from the url and it was RSS
Once again, Judith finds an excellent resource.
As a side comment, I continue to be amazed at the quality and the quantity of great material that Judith Meskill continues to find and share.
I've contributed to Wikipedia's fund raising; have you?
This got picked up recently with most bloggers picking up on
but I am more intrigued by
I think Mark Hurst is on to something important here, although I don't think it is about the bits. It's about the related notion that the products of knowledge work all pass through a bit stage somewhere in their creation and use. On the plus side, with a common representation, new forms of analysis and management become possible. On the negative side, the uniformity and invisibility of bits makes it harder to take advantage of our other skills for managing knowledge work products (think of the value of piles of paper). What we need to do, and what Mark looks to be thinking about, is what kinds of new skills will we need to develop to take advantage of the opportunity and compensate for the limits of a world of knowledge work that is fundamentally digital. I'll be watching for certain and contributing where I can.

Love, love, love, everything from Kiehl's and it's hard to pick just one outstanding product, but we've recently lathered on the Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion ($35), and it is to die for. This lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion left our skin supple and so-so-so-very soft, so soft that we kept asking people, "Hey, feel my arm, isn't it the softest ever? Yeah, it's Kiehl's". And in Kiehl fashion, the Argan leaf is organic and fairly-traded to create this very 'superb' lotion.

While waiting for the coveted CL72 parts for the 1965 domestic CL72, I copied down the part numbers which are 274-coded, specifically for the Type 2 version of the 250cc Scrambler.

33100-274-010 Headlight Assembly 30500-274-000 Coil Ignition
There is a correction to be made about my previous transmission gear comments, made earlier on, in this series of stories. Only the 2nd gear set was changed for the Type 2 transmissions, not the previously stated "2nd and 3rd" gear set changes.
A new throttle cable was received in from my friends at Retrobikes, in WA and is on the installation list, once the rest of the parts are received from Texas and elsewhere. In the interim a package of rubber replacements arrived from Clauss Studios, including the little rubber bumpers for the air filter cover brackets, a centerstand bumper, two air filter tubes and a set of the long, large rear Dream-style footpeg rubbers. The right side rear footpeg hangs down when the rubber fatigues and fails, leaving the footpeg close to the arc of the kickstarter arm when the bike is started up, so you want that one to fold up and stay in place.
With boxes received from Clauss Studios, Ohiocycles, Retrobikes and Ed Moore, I was ready to address the bike, once again. Starting with the throttle cable with part number 17910-273-000 I discovered that it is really a cable which was designed for the CL77s, which have 26mm carburetors and much larger carburetor slides. Installing the cable required running the cable adjusters all the way out in order to minimize the amount of cable slack at the carburetor tops. It is a nicely-made cable, but a bit long for a set of 22mm slide carburetors.
The Clauss Studio parts are all newly made from neoprene rubber, which is a bit stiffer and shinier than the original rubber parts, but should last longer that the OEM stuff. The centerstand stopper was a bit of a chore to get installed, mostly due to a difficult access angle. The new passenger peg rubbers now allow the right side peg to stand up and away from the kickstarter arm, when starting the bike standing alongside it, instead of atop the bike.
Ohiocycle supplied a repair kit for the floppy horn bushings and the surrounding rubber cushion on the headlight shell. The floppy horn had worn grooves into the small metal bushing sleeves as well as elongating the holes in the headlight shell, once the rubber bushings had been severed due to vibration and age.
A new set of OEM Nippon Denso points was rounded up from a Honda dealer who had some old stock parts available for sale on-line. Comparing the N-D branded ones with the aftermarket Daiichi copies shows how far apart they are in design. My findings will be addressed in a separate story soon regarding poorly made aftermarket parts.
Ed Moore was my Scrambler savior when it came to supplying a replacement Type 2 ignition coil, along with some rear signal brackets which were badly needed. The coil was in great shape and dropped right in with no further concerns. The new ignition points were mounted up, although one of the backing plate screw holes is stripped out. The remaining screw keeps the points planted pretty well and will work until a new replacement point plate comes in from an eBay seller.
After spending a couple of hours installing all the new bits and pieces, plus rebuilding the leaking petcock, the bike was ready to fire up again. It sounded great and I checked the breather tube for signs of excess pressure and couldn't detect anything unusual just a little pressure/vacuum pulse back and forth. The bike went down the road, shifting through the gears as it headed down my test road hill. On the way back, with the throttle opened up the bike started to break-up/misfire beyond half-throttle. A quick pull up on the choke lever seemed to pick it up a little bit, so it appeared to be running lean. The stock main jet sizes are #115 for both Type 1 and Type 2 carburetors so I dug into a stash of jets and turned up a set of #120s to try out. The difference was remarkable, just like when I re-jetted my 1961 CB77 from the stock #135 jets to #140s. The throttle response was improved and the bike didn't hesitate and spit back on full-throttle applications.
So, at this point it is a success that has come to an end. The bike is posted on Craigslist and eBay auctions, where it can find a new home with an appreciative Scrambler owner. It is always (usually) a treat to discover a model that you haven't seen or worked on before, just to gain more knowledge and insight into the workings of Honda engineer's minds back then, when they were trying out variations on a theme, including these unusual Type 2 250cc Scramblers.

After six or seven months of copying drawings, Rubendall was offered a genuine apprenticeship at Da Vinci: This involved mopping the floors, cleaning the toilets, cleaning up the tattooers' stations, running coffee and lunch orders, picking up laundry, taking abuse. Full time, overtime, sans any form of financial compensation, naturally. After some nine or so months of this, he was allowed to tattoo his friends, also gratis. After six months of giving free tattoos, he was allowed to charge half-price. During this time, he was working 70, 80 hours a week at Da Vinci. Finally—finally—after endless frustrations and freebies, he graduated: He was no longer an apprentice. He was a tattooer.
Rubendall worked at Da Vinci for 10 years, total. For the last three of those years, he was also doing two days a week at New York Adorned, possibly the most revered tattoo shop in Manhattan. Looking at it from the outside, Rubendall's ascent might appear almost instantaneous. But he doesn't remember it that way.
"When I was 17, 18, 19 years old, I wouldn't go out partying, I didn't go away to college or anything," he says. "I would stay home and draw till 2, 3 o'clock in the morning. My career is a result of all my hard work and devotion, the time I sacrificed."
Rubendall is 32, but he sounds like a man two, three times that age. He knows this. He laughs about it. Part of this is his character, his nature; part is simply a reflection of his accomplishments, as well as the long hours he has put in to get to this place. He is 32, but he has already worked as many hours as men who've been around twice as long.
"It doesn't come easy," he says. "Great performance doesn't come easy. It wouldn't be rare if it came easy. That's always the mindset I had: 'If I put work into this, I'm going to get results.'"
Rubendall is a worker by nature—there's an intensity and purpose even in his body language. He's lithe, compact, muscled, with attenuated limbs and expressive hands; his bald pate and shadow beard give him a slight resemblance to Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia. He's recently taken up boxing. He seems like he'd be good at it. He seems like he'd be good at pretty much anything he decided was worth his time.
"I never thought, 'I want to be the best in Massapequa, or Wantagh, or on Long Island, even,'" he says of his ambitions as a tattooer in his teens. "I wanted to be one of the best in the world."
Today, the walls of Kings Avenue are lined with plaques trumpeting the honors bestowed upon Rubendall at conventions—Best Black-and-Grey Tattoo; Best Color Tattoo; Best Overall Tattoo—and at home, Rubendall has what Hald calls a "garage full" of trophies and awards. It's safe to say Rubendall reached his "one of the best in the world" marker a few miles back. An entire generation of tattooers who have been influenced by his style will say as much.
Terry Ribera is 33; he lives in California. An accomplished tattooer who has worked at some of the most respected shops in San Diego, Los Angeles and New York City (including the venerable Dare Devil Tattoo in Manhattan's Lower East Side), he has never even met Mike Rubendall. But like any tattooer who knows anything, he knows Rubendall's work.
"He was such a household name when I started tattooing," says Ribera. "He was one of the first people on the scene doing really large Japanese work—particularly here in the U.S."
In Ribera's mind, Rubendall, along with fellow artist and peer Chris O'Donnell, defines New York tattooing. And the style they started—with deep roots in traditional Japanese tattooing and influences ranging from horror tattoos to old-school American tattoos to graffiti—has revolutionized the form.
"It looks like a Japanese tattoo," says Ribera, "but it has a lot of the things that you'll typically see in American tattooing. It's a little bit looser, a little bit more organic in the way it's drawn. It has certain aesthetics that you'll see in traditional American tattooing… I think his stuff is more dynamic, just how well it's rendered. I think [Rubendall and O'Donnell] were very true to the traditions of tattooing, but they didn't really want to bastardize the art they were borrowing from. It was just enough to give it their own twist—to make it ultimately look more American."
It's more than just difference; it's diligence. Rubendall tells the story of one recent client who asked for a tattoo of a snake-woman. Nothing more than that: a snake-woman. So, searching for inspiration, imagery, something on which to base this tattoo, Rubendall looked at books of Japanese mythology for something related to a snake-woman. There, he found the ancient story of Kiyohime, wherein a young woman, whose advances are spurned by a handsome priest, turns into a snake. Fearing for his safety, the priest hides under a prayer bell at a temple, but the woman-snake tracks him down, and—despondent, enraged—she wraps herself around the prayer bell, breathes a gust of fire on the bell, and reduces the priest to ash.
To Rubendall, that level of involvement and commitment is essential to the creative process. Furthermore, he notes, the story of Kiyohime takes place in the spring—so he incorporates into the tattoo cherry blossoms, a spring flower, instead of, say, chrysanthemums, which are an autumn flower.
"I feel like the client is getting an extra something," says Rubendall. "They're not just getting an ordinary image off the wall."
Sayville resident Nick Guidice is one of Rubendall's clients at Kings Avenue; Rubendall has tattooed more than half Guidice's body, and eventually he will do the rest, a process they started some four years ago and which may stretch out another six years going forward. Guidice is a graphic designer—someone with a strong visual bent—and he believes Rubendall's use of color and his approach to tattooing puts him on a higher level than anyone else he's seen.
"A lot of Mike's artwork seems to be more intuitive," says Guidice. "He's got a general plan, but as he goes along, things change a lot. But they always come out phenomenal. He has that vision. He can bring you where you want to be, and you might not even realize it."
That's only part of what makes Rubendall who he is, says Guidice.
"He's such a down-to-earth, humble guy. Even where Mike is, he's still as humble as he was the day I met him. And that speaks volumes, for me, as an artist."
That humility comes from long hours spent learning, sweating, working—always working—with roots that run deep in Nassau County.
Da Vinci Tattoo Studio stands on the busy north side of Sunrise Highway in Wantagh, blended in next to a Sleepy's, an Edible Arrangements, Mr. Vac & Mrs. Sew. It has been on that same stretch for 19 years, since the end of the first Bush Administration, 1991, six years before tattooing was even legal in New York City. (Between 1961 and 1997, tattooing was outlawed in the Big Apple, when the City Health Department discovered what it claimed was a series of blood-borne hepatitis cases coming from NYC tattoo parlors.) The essential layout of Da Vinci is almost identical to that of Kings Avenue: a long hallway with flash art on the left; tattooers' rooms—individual rooms, like offices or operatories—on the right.
Inside one of those rooms at Da Vinci sits Frank Romano. At 44, Romano is only a generation removed from his protégé, but with his thick gray sideburns, his wide forearms covered in old, indecipherable black ink, he could be from another era. In many senses, he is. Romano is not just a proprietor of one of the Island's longest-standing tattoo studios; he is one of the Island's most direct connections to the very roots of tattooing.
Frank's father, Larry, was the partner of Peter Poulos, and together, in the early '70s, the pair created what Frank refers to as "the largest chain of tattoo studios in world; the first of its kind." Building on what was originally called LI Tattoo Studios, in Elmont, Poulos and the elder Romano created Peter Tat-2, which would go on to have locations in Long Island, Denver, Chicago, Arizona and Wyoming. It was an empire of sorts. For his part, however, Frank had no interest in going into the family business.
"I didn't want to be a tattoo artist," says Romano. "I wanted to be a chiropractor."
The fates, though, saw things differently. In 1983, through a series of tumultuous, unrelated, almost Shakespearian events (Poulos was killed by gunshot; Frank got into an argument with his father, which led to him leaving Long Island and heading to Denver, where he crashed with Poulos' widow, Diane, who had inherited the Peter Tat-2 empire), Frank Romano fell into that world, a world he describes as "like living in a story, [filled with] motorcycles and hot rods [and] nicknames. It was glorious times for tattooing."
It was also, as Romano notes, the end of a time. At the urging of Diane Poulos, Romano became a tattooer, just as the form itself was becoming more accepted, as the old styles—anchors and hearts and sparrows and nautical stars, forever linked to tattooing gods like Sailor Jerry—gave way to more detailed work, more elaborate work. Romano learned the trade on the job, sometimes doing 10 tattoos a day, seven days a week—and eventually made his way back to Long Island, where he opened Da Vinci.
Romano notes he has had many apprentices over the years, but Rubendall was his best.
"He reached a little higher," says Romano. "He did everything he was asked to do, and he didn't complain."
A few notes on that apprenticeship, for those inclined to look into such a career. The first thing to remember is: persistence; accepting rejection. Because, as Romano tells it, if you ask him for an apprenticeship, the first thing he will tell you—and the second thing, third thing, fourth thing, etc.—is no.
"I'll send you away," he says. "Immediately. Come back again, I'll send you away again. And I'll keep doing that till I think maybe you're not going to go away. And right there I see something I need to see."
Romano remembers Rubendall as being especially tenacious. Not only would the young man not be turned away, but once he was in—once he had been given "the privilege of working his ass off for no money"—he continued to exceed Romano's demands. There was the drawing, of course, and the scrubbing and the mopping and the cleaning. Rubendall was even "physically and verbally assaulted," says Romano, to the point that he was "probably ready to have a nervous breakdown—in fact, I think he maybe even actually started to."
(Incidentally, Rubendall has never taken on an apprentice, and Romano says he will never take on another—both say they refuse to be responsible for springing more young scratchers on an already overpopulated tattoo community. Though given Romano's tactic of initially turning away all comers, it's hard to say whether this claim is genuine or just a pre-emptive psychological test of aspiring tattooers.) (Continued.)

March 26th, 2014, Best Buy Theater for the finale show on Hot 97 and Metro PCS 5 Boro Tour. With Hot 97 personalities like Peter Rosenberg, Cipha Sounds, and Ebro Darden (including a DJ set by Funkmaster Flex), and so many guests that by the time Swizz Beatz hit the stage the fans were memorized.
Action Bronson's set was no disappointment performing selections off his latest mixtape Blue Chips 2 with special guests Big Body Bes and even bringing out Party Supplies' Justin Nealis to play guitar on set closer "Amadu Diablo."
The LOX warmed the crowd and brought us all back to those days when everyone wore Ruff Rider scarves and rode dirt bike through city streets. Some highlights included Sheek Looch commanding the crowd to lift their Nike Air Max's in the air for a moment. After that moment, shocking the crowd to perform their classics with Swizz Beatz. Surprise guests Raekwon and Ghostface came and went without saying a word about the surprise new Wu album or, sadly, performing together.

How does NeNe Leakes really feel about her Celebrity Apprentice nemesis Star Jones?
"She is bossy, she is manipulative, conniving," Leakes says. "And I'm not even being funny. I think that is real. I honestly think that is who she is."
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who appears on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Wednesday, tells DeGeneres that she and Jones were never friendly.

Celebrity Apprentice contestant Richard Hatch turned himself into U.S. marshals on Monday to begin a nine-month prison sentence, according to The Providence Journal.
But Hatch, who is serving time for failing to pay taxes on his $1 million prize from the first season of Survivor, has someone on the outside who may be willing to help him.

After all the battles Bret Michaels has fought over the past 12 months, he still ranks winning Celebrity Apprentice as "one the toughest things I've ever done emotionally and physically, because they drain you down to find who the winner is." So now he has some expert advice for the show's remaining hopefuls.
"You got to work hard, delegate and be able to perform on a fume," says Michaels, who turns 48 March 15. "Because you don't eat a whole lot and you don't sleep a whole lot, and that's the truth."
He adds: "Listen to what Donald Trump and the task assigners are asking you to do. And you better be good at rallying your team, even when they don't like you or believe in you. Eventually, you're going to be facing the same people you worked with."

Things just got a whole lot worse than hearing, "You're fired."
Richard Hatch, who's currently appearing on The Celebrity Apprentice, was ordered back behind bars on Friday. He will serve a nine-month sentence for failing to pay taxes on his $1 million prize from the first season of Survivor.
The reality star previously served more than three years for tax evasion. He has been under supervised release and was supposed to re-file his taxes and pay what he owed from 2000 and 2001, but failed to do so, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Celebrity Apprentice kicked off its fourth season Sunday, and while the challenge was to make pizza, the teammates spent more time making enemies.
Star Jones took the lead among the women, and rubbed people the wrong way by letting the rest of the team do prep work in the kitchen while she focused on the graphics for their advertising.
But when the group failed to deliver pizzas for charity, and lost out on a donation worth $35,000, the sniping began.

Let the feuding begin!
With the latest season of The Celebrity Apprentice set to begin on Sunday, cast member NeNe Leakes is speaking out about her "one enemy" on the show – former host of The View Star Jones.
"Star Jones has got it in for me," The Real Housewives of Atlanta star told reporters during a conference call. "But it's all good. I'm okay with it. There are a lot of people who don't like Star, so I won't be the only one."

Charlie Sheen has a new job offer.
"I'd hire him in a minute," Donald Trump told PEOPLE about having the actor as a contestant on The Celebrity Apprentice.
Trump, who attended the Accessories Council 2010 Ace Awards at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York on Monday, had a cameo role alongside Sheen in the movie Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.
"He's a good man, I know him," Trump added. "He's going through a difficulty."

More names of stars set to appear on The Celebrity Apprentice were dropped Thursday during Donald Trump's interview with the co-hosts of The View.
Dionne Warwick, LaToya Jackson, Lisa Rinna were all mentioned by Sherri Shepherd to Trump, who appeared in segment to chat about his reality show and a possible run for President.
The mogul himself added José Conseco – whom he called a "real piece of work" – David Cassidy and Meatloaf to the list.

Either Gary Busey and Mark McGrath have new careers selling pizza – or the Celebrity Apprentice is filming again.
Days after a supposed list of celebrity contestants on the new season of the NBC reality show hit the Web, Busey, McGrath, David Cassidy and Lil Jon were spotted out in New York City, hawking slices at a downtown pizzeria.
According to Internet reports the stars – who were all on the rumored list of contestants – were working on a challenge for Donald Trump's show.

This workshop will focus on noir fiction/hardboiled crime fiction. Dispelling the stereotypical ideas of what constitutes "noir" – i.e. fedoras, neon lights and cigarette smoke – we'll investigate new ways of crafting dark crime fiction. Several authors will be invited to address the group and to share their own approaches. Over the four week workshop each student (as well as the instructor) will conceive of, write, and complete a noir short story. This workshop will be geared towards intermediate as well as more experienced writers who'd like to extend their range and depart from the usual "MFA style" short story.
Workshop Outline
Weeks 1 – 4
Students will learn just what "noir" means, the rise of classic noir fiction and film and its connections with the French existentialist movement. We'll also discuss where "mystery" ends and "noir" begins, and how the traditions are markedly different. You will read short stories or excerpts from classic and contemporary noir fiction. You will write a story and develop it over this four-week time period.
PLEASE NOTE: This workshop will be held at the Poisoned Pen Bookstore, 4014 N Goldwater Blvd #101 Scottsdale, AZ 85251. Expect visits from guest authors to class.Notice: Sorry, but registration for this workshop has now closed.

User Experience Cyberspace Has 7 Dimensions, maybe 8
By mprove on Feb 12, 2007
Thanks for the responses to my Friday article on the 4 dimensions of User Experience. Esp. to Sophie, Bernhard, and Frank. (As long as we are a limited sized group, everyone will be greeted by a virtual hand-shake.)
Bernhard indicated that there are some more dimensions to consider. You know what? He is right. Today I present 3 other important communication channels that matter in the user experience cyberspace.
First is IssueTracker (aka IssueZilla). This is the task tracking system used for OpenOffice.org. Lots of our UX contributions happen in IssueTracker. We submit bugs with a special focus on usability. We evaluate and comment on issues. And in cases where we write the specification, we add the URL to the task. To sum it up, IssueTracker provides the infrastructure for the development workflow. No feature, no bug fix goes into the product without an associated issue in IssueTracker. For us it remains an ongoing challenge to keep on top of it; and to gain the big picture of what is changing over all in the product.
We already had some initial conversations over our new IRC channel: irc://freenode/ux.openoffice.org. IRChats are a very synchronous medium. Very fast. High energetic, Very much fun and very prompting. I attended a meeting of the Mac porting group some time ago. So even moderated meetings are possible. We might try this for the User Experience project as well.
Real Life. Remember that? The stuff outside when you leave the Matrix? We hope to meet you in person on many occasions. Of course, OOoCon is the first choice, but other events like the World Usability Day might fill the time in between.
There is more (collaborative) space to explore and to utilize for our purposes. And I keep in mind, that I haven't answered Bernard's question yet; that was: "You should think of a place for graphical contributions." Yes, right. Let's discuss if we have a well suited spot for media files in our user experience universe, or if we need to add an 8 th dimension to our ecosystem of communication channels.

Curious about Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement? Not into it's mysticism but would like to benefit from it's practical application? Then head out this Valentines Day, Sunday, February 14, 2010 to 217 Haynes Blvd, in Lexington KY. 40509 and meet Amy Lewis where she will be holding an "open house" from 1-4pm.
Amy Lewis is a licensed Realtor® for Keller Williams Bluegrass Realty. She has recently completed training in Sarasota, FL with Steve and Gwen Kodad where she achieved the designation of Feng Shui Staging Professional. Amy includes the service of Feng Shui Home Staging with each listing. You can reach Amy by phone at 859-582-6622 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Amy developed and interest in Feng Shui, literally translated into English as wind-water, 10 years ago. Amy has used it's practical application to de-clutter her own home. Since she has applied Feng Shui to her own home, she has found that less clutter from her past, means more time for her present, and more room for her future.
After Amy applied her own Feng Shui school of Black Hat at home, she decided to consult with Monica Hess, who is of the Feng Shui "Flying Star" school for a second opinion. Monica is a licensed Realtor® and Feng Shui Master living and working in Lexington, KY. She has studied Feng Shui since 1995, with her formal training under Master Joseph Yu of the Feng Shui Research Center in Toronto. She is associated with Lizette Realty, Lizette Fitzpatrick, Principal Broker, 130 Killarney Lane, 40475. You can reach her at: 859-492-0582 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
Monica determined that Amy's house was supportive of her, though Amy admits that Feng Shui is often an ongoing enterprise and what may be supportive for one stage of life, may not be supportive for another stage of life. She recommends re-assessing your Feng Shui any time your life takes a new direction or when you want your life to take a new direction.
Practiced for centures in the East, Feng Shui has only recently became poular in the West. The recent popularity in the Unites States, may be attributed to the many celebrities who have used it, such as Donald Trump who hired Master Pun-Yin, an expert in Feng Shui when he built Trump Towers in 1995.
Some other well know celebrities that are reported to use Feng Shui are Madonna, Carmen Electra, Julia Roberts,
Tommy Hillfiger, George Clooney, Dolly
Parton, Sophia Loren, Rob Lowe,
Gwyneth Paltrow, Oprah Winfrey, Paula
Abdul, Cher, Richard Branson.
From the mystical to the practical, Feng Shui has been practiced for centuries in Eastern cultures and today continues to be practiced in both Eastern and Western cultures alike. For more information on Feng Shui, visit Wikipedia.

Shuttle flight STS-71 was launched on 27 June 1995. It became the first shuttle to dock with Mir, and the first to conduct a Mir main expedition crew exchange. Aside from five American astronauts who conducted separate research in the Spacelab attached to the shuttle, on board were the Mir Expedition EO-19 crew of Budarin and Solovyov. They would remain on the station while the EO-18 crew would return to earth. On July 3 the EO-18 and STS-71 crews returned to Atlantis, and the EO-19 crew (Solovyov and Budarin) closed the Mir hatch at around 20:00 GMT. Early on July 4, the two EO-19 cosmonauts entered the Soyuz TM-21 ferry ship and prepared to undock for an exercise in joint manoeuvring and photography.
Soyuz TM-21 undocked at 10:55 GMT on Jul 4, and backed off to a distance of 100 m. Atlantis then undocked at 11:09:45 GMT and began to back away from the Mir station. As Atlantis began its flyaround at a distance of 210 m, Soyuz redocked with the Kvant module at 11:39 GMT. Redocking was about a minute early. Just prior to the redocking, one of Mir's attitude control computers crashed, putting Mir in free drift, although this was not considered a serious problem. This was Solovyov's seventh docking with Mir over the course of four missions. At 12:35 GMT, Atlantis completed its 360 degree flyaround and ignited its engines for the separation burn, while sending back spectacular TV of the Mir complex. After undocking from Mir on July 4, Atlantis spent several days on orbit, carrying out medical research work with the Spacelab-Mir module in the cargo bay.
The EO-19 crew returned to Earth on September 11 in Soyuz TM-21. Anatoli Solovyov and Nikolai Budarin undocked from the Kvant rear port on Mir at 03:30:44 GMT and landed at 50 deg 41'N 68 deg 15'E, 108 km northeast of Arkalyk in Kazakhstan, at 06:52:40 GMT.
AKA: Atlantis; STS-71 (Budarin, Solovyov).
First Launch: 1995.06.27.
Last Launch: 1995.09.11.
Duration: 75.47 days.
Atlantis blasted off from KSC on 27.06.1995 at 1932 UTC. Docking at the Kristall-module on 29.06.1995 at 1300 UTC. 4.07.1995 at 1055 UTC Soyuz-TM21 with Solovyov and Budarin separated from Mir's Kvant-1 module for a photo mission of the undocking of Atlantis. 4.07.1995 at 1110 UTC successful undocking of Atlantis from Mir. 4.07.1995 at 1138 UTC Soyuz-TM21 redocked to Kvant-1. This took place 5 minutes earlier than was planned due to a malfunction of the Ts.V.M.-1 (main computer on board Mir). Solovyov per formed the docking manually while the deviation of Mir was already 10 degrees. 7.07.1995 at 1455 UTC soft landing of Atlantis on the S.L.F. (Shuttle Landing Facility) of Kennedy Space Centre.
Plans Mir-operations this month: 14.07.1995: 1st spacewalk (EVA): Checking airseal of docking port in -Z before the redocking of Kristall and an attempt to deploy the naughty solar array of Spektr. Beginning of EVA at 0340 UTC, duration somewhat more than 5 hrs. 17.07.1995: Possibly, depending on the results of the 1st EVA, the redocking of Kristall from the -X axis (forward port) to the radial port -Z axis. If so this operation will begin at abt 0200 UTC. There was a 2d EVA on schedule for 18.07 (later put back to 19.07), but possibly this EVA will be cancelled. Depending on the results of the 1st EVA. Progress-M28: If all goes well during the operations mentioned above this freighter will be launched from Baykonur on 20.07. Docking has to take place on 22.07 at the forward (-X) docking port of the complex. More news about the near future: There is an EVA planned on 18.08.1995 to install on the outer surface of Mir experiments among which the Belgian MirAS. This experiment has been brought to Mir by the Spektr module. Euromir'95: The launch of this mission with Soyuz-TM22 has been put back to 1.09.1995. (Gidzenko, Avdeyev and Reiter).
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202
Redocking of the Kristall-module:
Kristall has been moved from the forward port (-X axis) to the side port (-Z axis) on 17.07.1995 between 0230 and 0400 UTC. The redocking took place by the use of the 'lyappa'. a manipulator arm. So Kristall is now in the right position to receive the Atlantis (STS-74) and the new docking module in October 1995. On 17.07.1995 during the pass in orb. 53761 at 0554 UTC Solovyov reported that the airseal of the system after the redocking was normal.
2d EVA Mir-19 crew:
On 19.07.1995 between 0050 and 0620 UTC the Mir-19 crew will make their 2d EVA for the installation of the Belgian spectrometer MirAS on Mir's outer surface. Originally this operation was on schedule for 18.08.1995.
Progress-M28: This freighter will be launched from Baykonur on 20.07.1995 at 0305 UTC for a flight to the Mir-space station. If all goes well this freighter will dock to the station on 22.07.1995 at 0437 UTC.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202
PROGRESS-M28 launched for flight to Mir:
The freighter Progress-M28 blasted off from Baykonur on 20.07.95 at 03.04.40 UTC for a 2-days flight to the Mir-space station. Transmissions of this ship could be monitored a few hours after launch on the known frequencies in the 166, 165, 922 and 926 m/c bands. If Progress-M28 sticks to the timetable she will dock at Mir's forward docking port on 22.07.1995 at 0437 UTC.
3rd EVA Mir-19 crew:
To finish the tasks, which they were unable to accomplish during their 2d EVA Solovyov and Budarin will do this EVA on 21.07.95 from 0030-0530 UTC. Radio traffic can be expected via Altair during windows Mir-Altair and on VHF (143.625 and 130.165 mc) during the first pass of Mir for Western-Europa in orb. 53823 from abt. 0520-0529 UTC.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
On 22.07.1995 at 0440 UTC Solovyov reported 'kasaniye' (touch). During the Altair-window in orbit 53838, so in which the approach and docking took place, only voice communications could be monitored. So no images of the approach. Approach and docking were executed in the automatic mode by the system Kurs. The crew observed the approach of Progress-M28 through portholes.
Progress-M28 docked to the forward axial port (-X) of the transition section (P.Kh.O.). At 0630 UTC checks of the hard docking and airseal had been completed and the hatch was opened just before 0705 UTC. Progress-M28 delivered to the Mir-complex food, water, fuel and scientific equipment.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Mir: During the past weeks the complex passed during the night hours. Meanwhile the passes shifted to the afternoon en evening hours. The clear skies during the evenings made good visual observations possible. The cosmonauts executed a lot of experiments and repairs. They installed new gyrodynes in Module-D and resolved airseal problems. Probably one or more gyrodyne cases showed leaks. The cosmonauts solved this problem using a lute named 'germetik'. They did this by putting this lute around some leaking electric sockets.
Scarce information: During the past weeks it was difficult for me to maintain sufficient grip on the Mir-operations. This due to family circumstances, the night passes of the complex and the capricious behaviour of the geostationary satellite Altair. (see File ALTC2054.TXT.)
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202
Planned linkup with Mir-station:
If all continues to go according to plan the Soyuz-TM22 will dock at the forward docking port (P.Kh.O. -transition section), the -X axis on 5.09.95 at 1030 UTC. The last phase of the approach will take place within our range during Mir-orbit 54543 from 1018-1025 UTC. In this period we can expect radio traffic on the frequencies: 121.750 Mc (Soyuz-TM22) and 143.625 Mc (Mir). It is not possible to predict whether the old Altair on 17 dgs West will be used or not for this good old 'geo' did not show up since 26.08.95 0824 UTC.

An Amber Alert is active as of Wednesday night, according to this source. Ramy Demboski was reportedly taken from a home after a woman was allowed to come in to use a phone. This story is still developing, but it does look like this is a case of child abduction, but was it done on purpose or on accident? Numerous news reports are picking up the story about the girl, who is three-years-old and was taken from Excelsior Springs, Missouri.
The child's family claim that a woman was having car trouble and came knocking on the door to use a phone. She was allowed in the home, and then left. After she left, Ramy was missing. The woman is described as being a black female driving a blue Dodge Charger, and may have had other children with her. The car reportedly had Nebraska plates. It should be noted that the child was visiting her father and stepmother at the time of her alleged kidnapping. An adult was watching the child, but it's not being revealed whether or not it was the father or stepmother. Officials are currently trying to get a hold of the child's biological mother, but has not been able to yet.
When more details come to the media, the story will hopefully become more clear. The one certainty in this case is that Ramy Demboski is missing and could be in danger. If you know anything about this child's alleged abduction or know anything about her possible whereabouts, please do not hesitate to dial 911.

President Clinton joins the celebration as Ugandan children welcome him with music and dancing to the Kisowera School in the village of Mukono, Tuesday. (AP Photo)Clinton to African kids: America was wrong to buy slaves
The Associated Press
MUKONO, Uganda (AP) - Before thousands of schoolchildren sprawled on a grassy hillside, President Clinton said Tuesday that America was wrong long ago to buy slaves and guilty more recently of "the sin of neglect and ignorance" toward Africa.
Promising new friendship and help, Clinton announced $120 million in aid for African schools during the next two years to train more teachers and connect classes to the Internet in addition to the $65 million it now spends on education in Africa.
The United States also will spend $16 million to help Africa combat AIDS and malaria, which kill thousands of children. It already spends $100 million on the continent on health care systems and infectious diseases.
Although Clinton did not apologize for slavery, as some black people in America have urged, his remarks brought a burst of applause in this rural village where coffee and bananas are grown.
"The United States has not always done the right thing by Africa," said the president, who was on the second leg of a six-country tour.
He said Africa suffered during the Cold War competition between the United States and Soviet Union. And earlier, he said, Europeans and Americans "received the fruits of the slave trade. And we were wrong in that as well."
"But perhaps the worst sin America ever committed about Africa was the sin of neglect and ignorance," he said. "We have never been as involved with you, in working together for our mutual benefit, for your children and for ours, as we should have been."
Jesse Jackson, Clinton's special envoy for Africa, said Africans are more interested in "remedy and repair" than in debating whether Clinton should apologize for slavery.
"Frankly, I thought that was statement enough on that matter," Jackson said.
Visiting the Kisowera Primary School, the president and his wife, Hillary, were greeted by girls and boys clapping their hands and chanting "you are welcome." The school was picked to highlight Uganda's program of guaranteeing a primary education for as many as four children in every family.
Surrounded by children, Clinton danced with young boys wearing bells around their legs and young girls wearing grass skirts.
For many Americans, the visit to Uganda might recall memories of Idi Amin's reign of terror and Milton Obote's cruel dictatorship in the 1970s and '80s. Together they are blamed for the slaughter of 800,000 Ugandans.
Under President Yoweri Museveni, Uganda now is held up by the United States as a shining example of democratic progress and economic reform - even though Ugandans' life expectancy is only 37 years and per capita income is $290 a year.
Museveni, after taking power in a coup, was elected president in 1996 in the first election under a new constitution.
"There is nobody who can keep Africa backwards," Museveni said. "It is only the African leaders who can do it, as they have done it in the past."
One of the horrors of the past will be brought to center stage when Clinton flies to Rwanda today to meet with survivors of the 1994 genocide in which 500,000 to 1 million Tutsi civilians and Hutu moderates were killed.
In Uganda, about 60 children were packed into the Kisowera classroom where Clinton and his wife watched youngsters go through their lessons, identifying him as president and picking out the United States on a map.
The first lady said that Uganda - after years of difficulty - "now has a good problem: How do you find the teachers and the material and equipment to educate all the boys and all the girls who are coming to your schools?"
Trailed by reporters' questions from home, Clinton refused to discuss whether he had invoked executive privilege to prevent grand jury testimony of his aides or wife.
"I don't believe I should be discussing that here," the president said.
Traveling by helicopter, the president also flew to Wanyange, a village nestled in the lush hills alongside Lake Victoria. The Clintons visited a U.S.-supported small-loan program used by women to start their own businesses.
"They don't have an asset and liability sheet for which they could get a normal commercial loan," Clinton said. "What they have is proven skills and a good reputation for being responsible."
A woman showed Clinton a 2-dayold baby she named Bill Clinton after him.
"Oh, he's beautiful," the president said. "Look at all this hair. I was completely bald until I was 2."

Rumors have been flying about Kathryn C Dennis and Thomas Ravenel of "Southern Charm" still being together. Now a huge spoiler is out and it appears they stayed together. On Tuesday, TMZ revealed that she actually just gave birth to his child.
Sources close to the couple say that she gave birth to a baby girl just two weeks ago. It is the first child for both of them but neither one has been shy about wanting to have kids in the future. They even had a big pregnancy scare on the show after the first time they were together. Reports came out in March that she was pregnant.
On the new episode last night, Kathryn admitted that they were not being careful and using birth control. She even said that she plans to marry Thomas eventually and that he had told her if they got pregnant that he would marry her right away. It doesn't appear that they have tied the knot just yet though. You can assume that if they get married it will be a big deal and she will want to lose some baby weight to look great on the big day.
It is being reported that Kathryn and Thomas are now living together in Palm Beach. They are now doing great and have added a little girl to the mix. Fans assumed they were together for several hints she posted on Twitter and Instagram, but there has been no confirmation. So far the couple isn't speaking out about it. They may stay quiet until Bravo tells them they can share the information with the viewers.
"Southern Charm" airs new episodes on Bravo on Monday nights. Part of this story line could end up showing at the end of the season or if the show is renewed for another season. It will be interesting to see if Thomas and Kathryn speak out about the news and share with their fans soon. Update: They just admitted that it is true and talked about it in a Bravo blog.

By Nido Qubein
More than a century ago, Henry Peter Brougham remarked that "Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave."
His observation is valid in the business world as well as in the political arena, which is why I keep returning to the theme of an educated work force.
Educated employees will work with you, not for you. They will join management in the search for better methods, better ideas and higher profitability. They will become productive action takers, not passive order takers. They will form a partnership with intelligent leadership, but they will not be driven.
If employees are to behave as partners, they must learn to see themselves as part of the organization and not as hirelings who are paid to perform specific tasks.
You can tell whether your employees regard themselves as partners or as hirelings by listening to them talk. Do they refer to the company as "them" or as "us"? If the company is "them," then management has some challenging tasks ahead of it.
Benevolent company policies alone won't accomplish this attitudinal change. I've known of companies run by generous CEOs who took personal interest in their employees, provided scholarships for their children, helped them with their personal problems and kept people on the payroll long after their productivity stopped keeping pace with their pay.
These CEOs sometimes found that when they asked their employees to make sacrifices to help the company over rough times, the attitude was, "That's the company's problem, not ours."
Employees won't become partners of management until they perceive the company's problems as their problems, the company's challenges as their challenges, and the company's achievements as their achievements.

Teresa Giudice has the fans of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" wondering about is her status on the reality show. The cast member was indicted on fraud charges and was expected to fight the accusations, but there is a plea deal in the works. According to the New York Daily News on Sunday, both Teresa and Joe are expected to plead guilty to some of the charges in an arrangement.
So where does this leave the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star on the show? Bravo hasn't ever had to deal with a star, who is still technically on the cast, looking down the concerns of a jail sentence. There have been some legal troubles, but as fans know that happens every so often to everyone.
It appears that Teresa's issues might be much bigger than just a television show as there is the kids to consider. The Giudice family might not want to be on television during this painful portion of their lives. And it's possible that the television show might not want to show that pain either.
For Teresa Giudice the next few days might mean she has to make a decision on her "RHONJ" status. Fans hope she hangs around and her legal issues get sorted out. Realistically, viewers should be prepared for Giudice to step away as she needs to think of her family first.

This book on the science of creepy, crawly things, is a wonderful book to read with children. Adults and children will both enjoy learning from the fun facts and exciting pictures. You will look forward to sharing this book with the children you love.
See all four Fun to Learn books in the education category of Blurb bookstore.
For over 30 years, teaching has been a way to share God's love, and an appreciation for his overwhelming gift to us in nature. I have taught science, health, physical education, gifted education , and seminar classes in Little Rock, Paragould and Parkn, Arkansas. I would love for my books and photography to encourage people to connect more closely with children by reading with them. Nothing will ever replace a good book and someone to share it with.
