Every summer, the Christian Bookseller's Association has a huge trade show where book publishers and sellers of religious gifts congregate and attempt to ply their wares to owners of Christian bookstores and gift shops.
It's been a few years since I attended one, and even though this year's show was in nearby Orlando, I was out of town and didn't go.
Consequently, I missed one of the most exquisitely enjoyable aspects of this trade show - the rows of Christian witness items, snarkily referred to by the publishing side of the building as "Jesus junk alley."

But today, for me at least, is a holy day of non-obligation, of free will and pleasure.
It's raining, although that doesn't particularly make it holy. It does help, however. At least today. At least that's what I think.

To hold the destiny of another human being in your hand - to the extent that one can - is a humbling thing.
Last week I served my first jury duty.
Although I'm free to talk about the details of the case, I'm choosing not to. The details aren't relevant to the point I want to make.
Before the trial, I joked with my friends that I had been practicing.
"Guilty!" I'd yell and jab my finger in the air. "Off with their heads!"
I didn't think it would be all that difficult to come to a decision about the case. Yes or no. Guilty or not guilty.

Not only was Justin Bieber not legally drunk when he was arrested last week in Miami Beach, his racing buddy who was arrested for the same thing wasn't either, according to TMZ.
Rapper Khalil -- the guy accused of racing Bieber -- had a blood alcohol level of zero, the website reported.
What's next -- we're going to find out they were actually racing Big Wheels in an empty parking lot?
Someone from TMZ has reportedly seen the data from Khalil's breathalyzer, which the site said came up 0.00 both times he blew for cops. Which makes sense, sources close to the rapper told TMZ, because he doesn't drink.
Initial reports said Bieber's blood alcohol level was 0.4. A later report from TMZ said it was actually .014, which, for a 97-pound guy like Bieber, may have happened when someone with beer breath blew in his face. The police report indicated officers smelled alcohol on Bieber's breath.
Even if he wasn't guilty of being drunk on alcohol, he's still guilty of being Justin Bieber and should be deported immediately.
Even without alcohol, Bieber still could've been under the influence. He allegedly told police he'd taken pills and smoked pot earlier in the evening. He's also being charged with resisting arrest.
Who charges Justin Bieber with resisting arrest? That's like arresting a puppy for trying to wiggle out your arms to chase a butterfly.
Bieber's next court date is Feb. 14.
Meanwhile, Bieber is vacationing in Panama, which is way better than going to court. TMZ reported the Canadian singer's mentor Usher and manager Scooter Braun went to Panama to have a sit-down with Bieber about his behavior.

I have a wound on the back of my ankle that has been healing for the past 2 weeks. It is non-bloody, and there is no scarring, it is just pinkish. I cover this with a bandaid. My question is, how can I swim with this? What should I use to cover it up, or is that not neccessary? I don't think you're allowed to swim in public pools with a healing wound or a band-aid.
I am recovering from a bicycle wreck and have road rash all over my leg. I checked with my pool director last week and he said as long as I had scabs I would be fine. BUT, he said, chlorine does not promote healing. I did not swim last week because I was really scabby and in pain but I did go yesterday. Not to be gross but the scabs got green and mushy and I'm not sure it was a good idea.
Don't swim with a band-aid. It will just fall off, and there's nothing worse than an old band-aid floating in the pool. If it's not bleeding, it shouldn't really be an issue. Throw some Aquaphor healing ointment, or similar product on it, and swim as usual.

having a healing wound is not good for swimming.It can not recover soon.
Swimming illnesses are usually caused by swallowing bacteria-contaminated water, but swimming with an open cut can allow bacteria to infiltrate your body through your wound. The bacteria that are often found in pools and other bodies of water can lead to recreational water illnesses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you must swim while you have a cut, ensure that you properly protect your skin to avoid infection or illness from the water.
Contact your doctor and ask if a waterproof bandage is appropriate for your cut.

1. Lifehacks: talking versus writing: 19:54
However, talking has its disadvantages. I don't have to think about what happened. I just have to relate it. I can stutter. I can ramble. I can say things of no real lasting value. I can be lazy.
Writing requires more effort. I have to structure my thoughts. I have to figure out what useful tidbit I can extract from events so that my blog isn't just some self-centered personal journal that makes everyone feel a bit like a voyeur. Writing is slow, and the extra time forces me to think about what I'm writing, perhaps gaining more insights.
Conversation seems to be personality-centered. I can get away with unpolished thoughts and trivial stories because the point of conversation is conversing. On the other hand, writing--at least in my point of view--is more idea-centered. When I write, I have to make sense not only to people who are already interested in my life, but also people who read this entry as part of something else, like the RSS aggregator at http://pinoytechscene.mparaz.com . When I write, I have to make sense most of the time.
As much as I enjoy talking to Mom and Dominique, then, I think it's better if I refocus on the written word.
What will happen if I do so? My mother will probably write me letters, but I think my father is more comfortable with the immediacy of voice chat. I like hearing my dad's stories. They're the kind that should be told as soon as possible. E-mail creates distance, and probably won't do the stories justice.
People might also interpret this as me trying to distance myself from them. It really isn't. I think of this as creating knowledge, something that will reach more people, something I can reflect on later.
I write to find out how the words on my screen differ from the words in my head. I write to discover questions and answers. Journal entries give my day structure and keep me moving forward.

Goodness. I've practiced the kanji, but haven't actually filled in the book exercises. I should do that soon. I copied interesting compounds to the word cards and cycled through them. My short-term memory seems to be pretty good. I pick readings up after one or two passes. Took a while for me to get the hang of writing some characters, though.
I'll try to do the kanji book before I go to sleep. At least one of the chapters, I guess...

Afflicted with a highly active brain, a zombie named "R" chooses to meet, rather than eat - a cute girl named Julie (Teresa Palmer). His infatuation soon leads to feelings of love that prompt R's dead heart to begin beating.
A romance loosely inspired by Shakespeare's classic, the irrational prejudice of parents presents a major obstacle to flowering young love. That's because Julie's daddy is a military commander played by a heaving John Malkovich, and he's a stickler when it comes to letting his daughter take up with a zombie.
A hot trend in romance, human-vampire love is practically an everyday - er, every night - event. The appeal of eternal, seemingly insatiable vampires might be understandable, but extending that appeal to include zombies is nothing short of challenging.
"Warm Bodies" rises to the task by making its zombie protagonist, portrayed by Nicholas Hoult, into an appealing corpse. His look of decay is minimized by a zombie playbook relying on pale blue skin and heavy eyeliner that recalls any one of the Bronte sisters' heroes.
R and the film's other zombies (alas, none of whom receive the same attention to their makeup) lumber along with vacant eyes and slack jaws - like any teen. Yet somehow, when circumstances demand, these zombies kick into overdrive and give their human prey a run for their money.
R's home base is an airport. He takes breaks from milling around the terminal, by climbing aboard his own personal abandoned passenger jet that houses R's extensive record collection. It is here that he brings Julie after rescuing her from being eaten by other zombies. Though he can barely speak, can't remember his name or the apocalypse responsible for making him this way, when trying to win Julie over we "hear" R's internal dialogue warn him, "Don't be creepy ... Don't be creepy!"
The trailer to "Warm Bodies" yields about 30 seconds of comic genius. Unfortunately, the complete film only adds another 30 seconds or so to the tally. That leaves 96 minutes with only R's slow transformation to sustain us.
Adapted from a novel by Isaac Marion as a romance, what's most unusual about "Warm Bodies" is that it's written from a male perspective - even if he is dead.
Rated PG-13 as a date movie for teens, the movie raked in $20 million dollars in ticket sales during its opening weekend, but like most blind dates, the film is unlikely to get a second.

This was my first show and for that reason gets a 5 stars rating from me and will always be The Best Show EVA! It was experience I will hold dear in my heart as long as I live. To see them in this small and intimate of a setting was phenomenal no matter how they happened to playing that night. I mean 350 people! They rent the space out for fricken wedding receptions for Christ sakes!
Listening to it through a filter of over 20 years I still shake my head when I think about the scene. I had been into the Grateful Dead for a few years and was lucky enough to catch some great shows in the late 80s and early 90s including the infamous Alpine 89 run. My younger brother first turned me onto Phish and I remember him having a cassette from Amys Farm that he played until it snapped in half. I had heard Junta and owned Lawn Boy. A Picture of Nectar was just making its way into local music stores.
I was super excited when my brother told me about the show at MSU and couldnt wait to see them live. The scene was . . . well there really wasnt much of a scene. There were a few kids wandering the hallways of the Student Union, a merchandise table and the Greenpeace table set up. That was about it. I remember hearing rumors that the show was going to be cancelled when we first got there because of some electrical issues. I was sooo relieved when they started letting us in though and am forever grateful to the guys who sprang for the power generators at the last minute.
From Pages first twinkling notes of The Landlady and Treys screaming guitar I was hooked! I looked over at my brother and saw the biggest shit eating grin and knew I must have looked exactly the same. We carried the groove right into a rocking Possum. I hadnt heard any of the songs from Rift at that point and they ended up playing 6 songs from that upcoming album. I was so happy they played Fee and then Split Open and Melt happened. I had my first spastic AC/DC Bag feeling when youre dancing so hard that it feels like your feet dont touch ground. Chaos, everything falling apart then coming back togeterher, WOW! I Didnt Know was fun to hear some live vacuum and Runaway Jim smoked to fill out the first set.
Set break was weird. More people wandering around the halls. I seem to recall Mike and maybe other members of the band milling around too but not completely sure. It just seemed really loose. I think there were a few students who actually left during set break because the crowd seemed a bit smaller to kick off the second set.
The Tweezer that kicked off the 2nd set I remember as being heavy and funky and listening to it again the guys are really having fun with the vocals. Im pretty sure I freaked during that jam as well. Horse and Silent were pretty and enchanting to me. Fluffhead! Nuff said. I didnt know what was going on during Guelah but when they all stopped and started pointing at the tall dude in front I have to admit that it made me feel a little uncomfortable. Trey and Mike choreography, the Aww Fuck! it was all so surreal to me. Then Mikes Song >I Am Hydrogen>Weekapaug. Cold As Ice then Fishman comes out for a sweet rendition of Cracklin Rosie. I didnt see any of this coming. Who are these guys?
Dinner and a Movie was creepy and then a little Bouncin for some leavity. Next The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony > Suzy Greenberg to close things out. But wait! Everyone shut up so we can hear some A cappella barbershop quartet tunes sans microphones! Memories; how appropriate for looking back on my first show. Sweet Adeline had people cracking up. So sweet. And then the Tweeprise to rock us home.
A very average show, if not below average, unless it happened to be your first show or you were lucky enough actually have been there in this very intimate setting. It will be a night I will always cherish. I remember the feeling like I was seeing the Grateful Dead for my generation. The connection between the band and the audience was something I had only seen at Dead shows. Their music moved me in a similar way but so sharper, quirkier and edgier, something that I had been longing for. Im amazed at how far they have come and all the obstacles they have overcome. I have nothing but love and admiration for these guys

RICHMOND -- An angry, raucous crowd of hundreds dominated a Tuesday night town hall meeting with officials from Chevron, the city and the county, shouting down speakers, arguing among themselves and, for the most part, demanding that the energy corporation do more to ensure the safety of its neighbors in the aftermath of Monday night's fire and shelter order -- or leave Richmond entirely.
"Why should any community have to suffer from any corporation that is destroying the health and the life of the community?" asked Ken Yale of Richmond, drawing cheers from the crowd. "Shut it down."
Dozens of speakers lined up to address -- and at times, berate -- the panel, which included officials from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the Contra Costa County Health Department and the city of Richmond.
"We take a lot of pride in our environmental performance," said Nigel Hearne, refinery manager for Chevron Richmond. "Last night, I can't say I'm proud of that performance."
Hearne was booed repeatedly by the audience as he apologized for the fire, the smoke and the sickness that many in the community blame on the foul smelling smoke the spread for miles. Hearne also praised the efforts of emergency responders, both from Chevron's fire department and from nearby cities that sent mutual aid.
Chevron officials announced a claims program just before the meeting, vowing to pay for any health expenses and property damage that resulted from the fire and smoke. Residents can call 866-260-7881 to learn more.
Still, attendees were angry about the fire, the effects of any resulting pollution, the warning system that they said didn't alert them properly, and what they described as a persistent problem with pollution from the refinery.
Many speakers demanded answers from health officials about what pollutants had been found in early air testing. Jim McKay, of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, said that tests had found 23 compounds in the air. He referred residents to the district's website for specifics -- an answer that drew angry responses more than once, before McKay and Randy Sawyer, the county's chief environmental health officer, talked more specifically about particulate matter, essentially a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets that can result from a fire like Monday's.
Air district testing showed the concentration of toxics in the air -- including ethanol, freon and benzene -- to be below harmful levels, officials said. More details on the testing are available on the district's website, http://1.usa.gov/g3616u/.
The discussion did little to quell residents' concerns.
"You talk about 'shelter in place,'" said the Rev. Kenneth Davis, of North Richmond Missionary Baptist Church. "How long can I hold my breath?"
Chevron Richmond Fire Chief Mark Ayres said that his crews were "overwhelmed" by the fire as it started, explaining the initial delay in sounding the first warning.
"It took approximately 10 minutes to push that button," Ayres said. "We can continue to work on improving that, but we get overwhelmed just like anyone else in that situation."
At one point, members of Urban Tilth, an urban farming organization that had held a demonstration in front of the auditorium before the town hall, stood in front of the dais, displaying vegetables grown in their garden they said would have to be discarded due to safety concerns.
Some praised the company, noting that it was one of the city's biggest benefactors in terms of employment and corporate giving.
"They give this community so many resources," said retired laborer Antwon Cloird. "Without Chevron in Richmond, we would be just like Vallejo: broke."
But the majority of the speakers said the economic benefits of the company's presence weren't enough to overcome the detrimental health effects of incidents like Monday's fire.
"Someone earlier (said), 'If Chevron leaves (Richmond), we all die,'" said Malik Seneferu, of Richmond. "Well, if Chevron leaves, we all die, but if Chevron stays, we all die, too."

Today in History: April 1
April Fool!
Old Heidelberg, copyright 1905.
Touring Turn-of-the-Century America: Photographs from the Detroit Publishing Company, 1880-1920
April 1 has long been an opportunity for children to tease their teachers. In an interview with a writer employed by the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression, Mrs. Sally Marlowe of Marion, South Carolina, recalled:
We used to run off in the woods on April Fools' Day and stay till twelve o'clock noon come — then we would all show up to the schoolhouse. What you reckon they done to us for it? Kept us in school so late every evening that week till the moon would be shining bright enough to show us the road home.

April the 1st was dreaded by most rural school teachers. The pupils would get inside and bar the teacher out. The teacher, who didn't act on the principle that discretion is the better part of valor, generally got the worst of it. Mr. Douglass soon learned this, and, on April Fool's Day, he would walk to the school, perceive the situation, laughingly announce there would be no school until the morrow, and leave.
Dr. Samuel B. Lathan, circa October 10, 1940.
American Life Histories: Manuscripts from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1940
More April tomfoolery abounds in American Memory:
- Search on April Fool in American Life Histories: Manuscripts from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1940 to find more tales of pranks and shenanigans. If your taste runs to practical jokes, take a look at "How Snipe Hunting Was Invented," in which pioneer Steve Robertson tells how one Brad Slocum, "one of these tender-actin' persons that was always wantin' somebody else to do it," got his just desserts.
- Search on dog, humorous pictures, or animals in human situations to find more silly pictures in Touring Turn-of-the-Century America: Photographs from the Detroit Publishing Company, 1880-1920.
- The online collection The American Variety Stage: Vaudeville and Popular Entertainment, 1870-1920 contains many examples of comedy routines performed by vaudeville entertainers, including ten audio recordings.
For a good laugh, tune in to "Henry's Music Lesson." Or, appreciate a time-tested joke routine to the accompaniment of a fiddler playing "The Arkansas Traveler," or listen to performers imitate various sounds such as a sawmill and a dog fight in "A Study in Mimicry."
"Henry's Music Lesson,"
performed by Miss Sally Stembler & Edward Meeker, Edison 51063-R, recorded 1923.

- Search on joke in the collection of Music for the Nation: American Sheet Music, 1820-1860 & 1870-1885 to find humorous songs such as "Too Thin; or, Darwin's Little Joke" by O'Rangoutang.
- The American Memory collection Inventing Entertainment: the Early Motion Pictures and Sound Recordings of the Edison Companies includes many films in video format from the Library's collection of early copyrighted paper print films. Many early films show comic routines. The Unappreciated Joke, filmed by Thomas Edison, Inc. in 1903, shows a man on a subway attempting to entertain a fellow passenger who is not amused.
In another early film, An Animated Luncheon, filmed February 1900, Edison exploits the newly discovered possibilities of film-splicing to create a gag.

Top 5 camps
I am currently a JUCO coach and have been coaching for 20 years. I have been all over the country and seen many camps.
4. Nike Coaches Clinics - Still good but have dropped in quality. You get less now than you did 10 years ago.
3. 5 Star Camps - Great for exposure and competition. In my opinion this should be your last camp, 11th or 12 th grade. You are able to gauge where you are at compared to other players your age. Needs work on teaching aspect yet, Superb, knowledgeable, friendly staff.
Five-Star was originally opened for the top players in the country. Today, Five-Star continues to attract the nation's best talent; however they have re-designed the camp several years ago to ensure there is a place for players of all skill levels. Players in grades 5 - 8 welcomed.
2. DON MEYER Camps - Coach Meyer is the best-kept secret in basketball. Despite passing Bobby Knight, Dean Smith and Adolph Rupp on the all-time NCAA men's college basketball coaching victory list. One of the best teachers in the game, I can't get enough of his incite.
1. Point Guard College - I have learned so much in the last three years. The staff is amazing, the content is great. It is an intense training opportunity geared toward mature, dedicated and eager-to-learn athletes. Point Guard College (PGC) is a no-nonsense learning experience for junior high school to college-aged male and female student-athletes. This is not your typical basketball camp. It's called a "college" for a reason. If you do not want to work to get better then go somewhere else.
Don't let the name fool you! PGC is open to players of all positions. PGC believes everyone should have the mindset of a point guard because everyone has the capacity to influence the group and be a playmaker.
The multi-course curriculum is specially designed to teach basketball players to play the game intelligently, to train purposefully, and to be true leaders during games, in practice, during the off-season, and in everyday life. I share this with you because I personally attended and the program had a big impact on me. I also had the opportunity to see how it impacted the skills and approach of the athletes that attended. In my 20 years of coaching I have not seen a better camp.
This summer, PGC will be offering 45 sessions across the United States and Canada. I urge you to consider optimizing your off-season development by attending Point Guard College. There are three (3) courses for you to choose from 2010: THE PREP SCHOOL, THINK THE GAME, and ESSENTIALS.
(1) The Prep School: Geared toward athletes in the 7th-10th grades. Learn more at www.pointguardcollege.com/pgc/prep-school
(2) Think The Game & (3) Essentials: Focused on serving student-athletes in the 9th grade to right up to college-aged athletes. More info is available online: Think The Game - www.pointguardcollege.com/pgc/think-the-game / Essentials - www.pointguardcollege.com/pgc/essentials
By attending a course this summer, you can learn skills and concepts to take your game to the next level. None of the courses are 'better' than any other. Each course just has a different focus. All of the courses use a "See It, Hear It, Do It" format; that is, a combination of video analysis, in-class learning and on-court instruction. Ultimately, that is what makes the content and teaching unlike any experience you've had before.
Log on to their website at www.pointguardcollege.com to get more info on PGC and read what graduates who have gone on to play college and professional basketball have to say about its impact on them.
Once you're ready to register for a course, use the PROMO CODE: "AMBP2". By entering this code, you will automatically be entered into a drawing to win back your tuition.
I can't wait to hear all about your experience at PGC! If you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them for you.
Best regards,
Edgar Medinilla
East Region Representative

Venice raises property tax rate
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 11:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 11:37 p.m.
VENICE - firstname.lastname@example.com
Property tax rates
Here are the property tax rates, for every $1,000 in taxable value, imposed by the city of Venice for the past several years:
2005: $3.51
2006: $3.39
2007: $3.34
2008: $2.93
2009: $2.98
2010: $3.00
2011: $3.00
2012: $3.19
2013: $3.22
2014: $3.30
VENICE — Property owners in Venice can expect to pay more city taxes this year because of two factors: Property values are rising and, for the third consecutive year, the City Council has increased the property tax rate.
On Tuesday, in a 4-1 vote, the council adopted a tax rate of $3.30 for every $1,000 of taxable value — up eight cents from last year's rate of $3.22.
Although he voted in favor of the next budget, Mayor John Holic cast the dissenting vote on the higher property tax rate.
"I thought we could have done it without an increase in the millage (tax rate)," Holic said. "We could have used reserves."
Considering the higher tax combined with higher property values, "I thought that was a double whammy in one year," Holic said.
Council members Jeanette Gates and Jim Bennett were absent.
The council put the higher rate on tax notices that were mailed to property owners last month, later decided to lower it back to last year's $3.22, and then ratcheted it back up at a final public hearing about the budget.
The higher rate will be applied to a tax base that, for the first time in years, is showing signs of recovery.
Taxable property values in the city have increased 3.8 percent during the past year, raising the tax base from $39.12 billion to $40.79 billion.
For a property with a taxable value of $100,000 last year, the city tax bill would have been $322. If that property's value increased 3.8 percent to $103,800, the next city tax bill will be about $342.
Property taxes comprise just a portion of the overall city budget of $87.2 million, which includes airport and utilities revenues and other funding sources.
City officials have cited several reasons for raising the tax rate, which is expected to bring in more than $8 million for the general fund.
An additional $369,082 is needed for the police and firefighters pension funds, which continue to have an unfunded liability that has caused the city to increase its contributions yearly. The city and the police and fire unions are in negotiations about how to reduce that liability.
For the first time in several years, the city intends to provide its employees with pay raises. The council has authorized a 1 percent increase in base salaries and a one-time 1 percent bonus.
The city's unionized employees have not had raises in five years. Its employees with no bargaining unit have not had raises in six years.
Health care costs for city employees are expected to rise by $1 million this year.
The budget calls for bringing on an economic development consultant for $30,000 and adding 14 positions to the city's work force of 272 — including utility workers, firefighters, an airport property manager, an information technology technician and parks maintenance workers.
Before the recession, the city had 354 employees.

Drug-induced pulmonary disease is lung disease brought on by a bad reaction to a medicine.
Many types of lung injury can result from medicines. It is usually impossible to predict who will develop lung disease from a medicine.
Types of lung problems or diseases that may be caused by medicines include:
Many medicines are known to cause lung disease in some people, including:
Note: Symptoms may vary from person to person.
The doctor will perform a physical exam and listen to your chest and lungs with a stethoscope. Abnormal breath sounds may be heard.
Tests that may be done include:
The first step is to stop the medicine that is causing the problem. Other treatments depend on your specific symptoms. For example, you may need oxygen until the drug-induced lung disease improves. Anti-inflammatory medicines called steroids are sometimes used to quickly reverse the lung inflammation.
Acute episodes usually go away within 48 to 72 hours after the medicine has been stopped. Chronic symptoms may take longer to improve.
Some drug-induced lung diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis, may never go away.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of this disorder.
Note any past reaction you have had to a medicine, so that you can avoid the medicine in the future. Wear a medical alert bracelet if you have known drug reactions. Stay away from illegal drugs to prevent many drug-induced lung diseases.

P.S. Well, there is another side to my Shonen Knife story which is somewhat time warped in a way. And, I first saw Shonen Knife back on a HOT July night in 1991 in San Francisco at the IBeam. It was TOTALLY sold-out and I mean the crowd there was so very excited and animated as the Knife just ripped the audiences' heads off again and again with their guitars, bass and drums and then after every song they then slowly bowed in unison to the audience, taking no prisoners. That show was really something else as it was their first US tour and, some believe, their breakthrough show. It's hard to capture in mere words just how intensely existential it really was. In fact, it was an experience that was something like becoming a kid again. Really, I don't know how else to describe it, but it really was just like becoming a kid again, but with a childish-style of alternative Engrish Rock blasting my head off from three cute and very small women, who, played just as loud and just as fast as any other Sub Pop band in Seattle, no problem. And, well, their rise to success was fast and, in a way, almost too fast. They become overnight sensations in the US indie/college radio circuit and became so worshipped and praised that they even toured with the almighty Nirvana.
But that first night I saw them in SF, and when I felt the sharp blade of The Knife blissfully plunge into my heart, my whole life changed and from that night on, somehow, I just knew that Japan was my destiny. Well, I kind of knew it before that night, but, in fact, that Shonen Knife show was the straw that broke me free and I escaped to Japan about one year afterwards. So, yeah, it was quite a legendary show for me on that night back in '91.
Anyway, right after the show ended, this guy came out on stage and told those of us in front that Shonen Knife would be appearing at some record store out near Pier 45 on the next day! So, of course, we were all over that and got there way early and started an organized line with a signed list et al. And on that day, it was the first time I met them and I also met their manager, Page Perazzo, of Virgin Records, who deserves A LOT of credit for the global success in the '90s.
Anyway, we got to meet them all and got pictures, autographs etc. And then Page suddenly announced that they were going to film a music video right there in the store! And Shonen Knife got up on the tables and was pretending to play to one of their songs on the PA, while we kids in the crowd were really enjoying it and dancing like, well, like little kids again!!!! I know that may sound somewhat strange, but the group of us there were some very hardcore Shonen Knife fans, no doubt. They could have sung "Sesame Street" or the theme from "The Banana Splits" and we would have loved it. That 's exactly how intense our loyalty and passion for them was back in those days.
So after a few songs, Page said that we all did a great job and that he wanted to continue filming this new music video down at the docks and over at the cable cars etc. But, then, suddenly, it started raining and we waited in the store, hoping it would stop and we waited and waited, but, it didn't stop raining and finally they all had to leave, so we never got to finish filming that video. And we hardcore fans were very, very bummed about that, indeed. Some were even crying, I kid you not.
Cut to Tokyo, Japan, 12 years later and, one day, I just happen to meet the right guy at the right place and SHAZAM!!! Three days after that, I'm in another Shonen Knife video! Unreal. Just totally UNREAL!

EVE, Inc. will soon be introducing a dating safety curriculum aimed at local middle and high school students.
"We got a grant from the HealthPath Foundation of Ohio. We were provided $5,000 to provide the Safe Dates program," said Annelle Edwards, co-executive director at EVE, Inc., a nonprofit organization that offers protection, counseling and advocacy for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault.
The money will help pay for teaching materials and extra hours for the EVE's prevention specialist to be in schools, she said.
To help get the word out about the new program, EVE recently started a Facebook page, EVE Safe Dates, that offers resources and articles that students might find helpful, said Edwards.
"We hope that students add it. It's got a lot of information that students will find interesting," she said.
According to Edwards, all Ohio public schools' are already legally obligated to address the issue of dating violence with students.
Ohio Substitute House Bill 19, also known as "Tina's Law," stipulates that age appropriate lessons in dating violence prevention be provided for students in grades seven through 12 be given.
However, those at EVE are excited to offer the evidence-based Safe Dates program to area schools and organizations because it has already been proven very effective, said Edwards.
"They have research that shows the students who participated in the program showed 56 to 92 percent less physical and sexual dating violence than teens who did not participate," she said.
The program takes place over four sessions. It focuses on teaching students healthy dating behavior, causes of abuse and the consequences, resources to get help and skills to develop healthy relationships.
One of the benefits of the program is that it is interactive and allows for a lot of discussion among students, Edwards said.
Though she did not have local statistics available regarding teen dating violence, Edwards said her staff has noticed that stories of unhealthy relationships are prevalent in the schools they visit.
"I can tell you when our prevention specialists are out in the schools, they are always hearing about someone who is in an abusive relationship. They'll hear the kids talking about red flag behaviors that the kids don't even recognize," she said.
Students who have never been in an abusive relationship have often witnessed one, she said.
Marietta High School seniors Bill McAtee and Samantha Nelson witnessed one such relationship when they were at the mall with a friend.
"We came out into the parking lot and we thought this couple in the next car was kissing. Then I saw the guy was yelling in her face," said Nelson.
McAtee then witnessed the man, a teenager like himself, strike the girl.
"We saw them later at Olive Garden like nothing had happened," said McAtee
Said McAtee, it seems like a lot of teens stay in bad relationships because there is pressure in high school to be dating someone.
Added Nelson, that phenomenon seems to be even worse with younger youth.
"They are just trying to be more mature," she pointed out.
Not all signs of unhealthy relationships have to be as apparent as physical violence.
Marietta High School junior Carly Rankin said a lot of her peers put too much emphasis on constant communication.
"Some of my friends will text their boyfriend and if goes five minutes and he hasn't texted back they think 'Oh my God. He wants to break up with me.' No. He still cares about you," she said.
Rankin said she reserves conversations with her boyfriend for when they have something of note to share.
"It's not obsessive," she said.
Marietta High School seniors Lexi Walsh and Derek Amrine have been dating just shy of 11 months. They both said that they recognize some unhealthy habits in relationships around them and know to avoid them.
"You'll see where someone is being mistreated, talked down to, and they don't even know it," said Amrine.
It is hard to talk to your friends when you see them being mistreated, said Walsh.
"They make up excuses for their boyfriend or girlfriend," she said.
Edwards said there are several things people can do when they witness others in an abusive relationship. However, judging their choices and simply ordering them to end a relationship is rarely effective, she said.
"Listen to them. Be a support. Give them the resources they need. You can call the EVE hotline and talk to someone," said Edwards.
The Safe Dates curriculum is not only for a classroom setting. EVE, Inc. pointed out that program could also be taught to after school clubs, youth groups, boy and girl scout groups, and more, said Edwards.
The program is open to any schools or organizations that request it. Any schools and groups interested in offering the curriculum can contact EVE at 374-5820 and ask for prevention specialist Lashley Earley, said Edwards.

It is San Francisco Ballet's 80th season, and on Tuesday at the War Memorial Opera House, the company pulled out some big, shiny dances in a flourish that reveled in wit, daring and neoclassical tradition. This is a ballet troupe that can dance anything, and on opening night it nearly did, from a big, cheeky 70-year-old ballet right for a Parisian nightclub to a strobe-filled dystopic/utopian premiere to a neurotic beauty from 1970. That's quite a range for any performing arts group.
But as versatile as the company is, and as thrilling as it is to watch in all its parts, there is still something this octogenarian can't do: lead us into a daring new future of dance. The birthday news from S.F. Ballet is that the company lacks a reliable radical edge, and that's despite the valiant efforts over the years by artistic director Helgi Tomasson to find one.
Tomasson seemed to have located a new dance maverick in Wayne McGregor in 2007. He is resident choreographer for the Royal Ballet in London, and six years ago he premiered his brainy collaboration "Eden/Eden," created with path-breaking minimalist composer Steve Reich and videographer Beryl Korot. It was a hit. But stripped of mesmerizing text and visuals, last year's "Chroma" by McGregor turned out to be built on a dance language much thinner than the earlier work promised, even if the overall conception dazzled.
McGregor's newest work, "Borderlands," is in the same league -- captivating, obliquely topical, but not the game changer one might hope for. Mostly, it tries too hard. Weighed down by allusions to the German Bauhaus, "Borderlands" puts the dancers into a beautifully illuminated cube of light (designed by Lucy Carter) and launches them into action like so many poisoned worms squirming in a giant box that changes colors and moods.
The movement breaks the body into fragments -- an elbow, a rib cage, a bottom, a foot -- but the physical squiggles and protruding body parts fail to coalesce into a point of view. The too-tame score by Joel Cadbury and Paul Stoney reinforced the timidity of the project.
Yet "Borderlands" offered dancers extreme physical challenges, and stunning moments abounded -- Pascal Molat dancing like a dystopic 21st-century Petrouchka, Frances Chung giving new meaning to the passé position of the leg, four dancers walking in sensuous, rocking lock-step along the wall, like soldiers, prisoners or mourners. And eye-popping blasts of purple or green or blue grey light.
By contrast, the night's opener was an entertaining and ravishingly outré one-act ballet, "Suite en Blanc," by expat Serge Lifar, who left Russia in 1921, and beautifully mounted by Maina Gielgud, former dancer with the London Festival Ballet among others. It promised nothing more than amusement and delight but offered more. The "pure dance" ballet, propelled by its Spanish melodies and Russian mazurkas, was arranged as a series of dance numbers, and set to Edouard Lalo's "Namouna."
This "white" ballet, which refers to the classic-era ballets of dying swans decked in white tutus, was surrounded by black and leavened by the spirit of the Folies Bergere while inspired by the ingenious designs of Busby Berkeley. Lush, rigorous Russian classical and neoclassic dance from the ballets of August Bournonville, Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov to George Balanchine undergird it all. The result was a dance arranged as a show number that brought ballet into new terrain, where the endless quotes from the 19th-century classics were made fodder for modernist wit and expression.
It also gave us a parade of stunning individual and Hollywood-big corps performances. Tiit Helimets and Shane Wuerthner partnered with a radiant Vanessa Zahorian in "pas de trois." Sasha De Sola in "serenade" made herself queen of the black stage with its hidden stairs as she executed leg extensions and fouette turns with imperious femininity. The bounding quartet of Daniel Deivison-Oliveira, Steven Morse, Myles Thatcher and Hansuke Yamamoto sprang into the air in relentless beats, jumps and turns. Frances Chung talked with her legs, and Sarah Van Patten danced a subtly witty "cigarette" with signature steel-like clarity. Maria Kochetkova nailed the silkiness of "flute," and Davit Karapetyan was wonderfully sultry in "mazurka," as eight men danced on the ingenious upper landing that gave the whole its nightclub aura.
Between these two concept ballets came Jerome Robbins' Chekovian study set to Chopin nocturnes (impeccably played by pianist Roy Bogas) that examines love at three stages of its arc. It is embodied by a trio of couples whose costumes, deepening in color from couple to couple, reinforce the trajectory from innocence to propriety to volcanic rupture. Despite its 19th-century trappings, this is a 20th-century ballet of interior life made public, and it is a slightly neurotic beauty set against a backdrop of dreamy stars -- a welcome whisper between two claps of dance thunder.

Welcome to Chi-Town
There is one bayit (house) in Chicago, located on the north side of the city near historic Wrigley Field in Lakeview. Lakeview's popularity has exploded – making it one of the most vibrant and exciting neighborhoods in the city. The area is home to a diverse group of residents, including young families and a large gay and lesbian population.
Uptown, the neighborhood just north of the Lakeview bayit, is even more diverse—some call it the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in Chicago. It is home to Vietnamese, Native-American, Japanese-American, Latino, African-American, as well as Appalachian populations. Many bus lines, and the red-line train are a short walk from the bayit. The Chicago lakefront is a quick bus ride or twenty minute walk.
The Chicago bayit is within walking distance of Anshe Sholom (Modern Orthodox), Anshe Emet (Conservative with space for Mishkan, a growing independent minyan), Temple Sholom (Reform), Windy City Minyan (an independent minyan), and Moishe House.

This year has opened up the gates to multiple pathways in which to explore social justice, Judaism and community. It has allowed me to fall in love with Chicago, recognizing its deep problems and wanting to be part of a movement to make it a city hospitable to all types of people. It has made me comfortable wrestling with god and the questions of my own Jewish identity while offering moments of true spiritual connectedness."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A state law meant to attract new businesses to the area is causing a big headache for city leaders.
Lawmakers voted this year to remove taxes on energy production, but that's expected to create a major shortfall for local governments.
The mayor pro tem says the best way to tackle the shortfall may be to turn to the church.
"When you have a church that has got a value of two or three million dollars, why not tax it?" said Mayor Pro Tem Joe Bowles. "Look at all the preachers that drive around in a Lexus and Mercedes. Surely there is plenty of money running through churches."
One local pastor says the suggestion does not come as a surprise.
"Because it is really more of a satanic move," said Rev. K.B. Martin, who points to the recent challenge to the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast as a sign of changing times. "It's part of the movement to destroy the church, and then you want to ask the question why is society in the shape that it is in?"
City leaders say the issue is centered around less funding from the state.
"It could be millions of dollars," said Cty Administrator Fred Russell, who noted the shortfall comes thanks to a state law removing taxes from manufacturer's energy production.
"A place like us that has a big industrial base," Russell said. "That's going to be a major hit. Those funds need to be replaced in some shape or form."
Russell says the viable options include reducing services or an excise tax on local businesses.
"Which defeats the purpose of reducing the sales tax," Russell said.
"Maybe instead of an excise tax, we work with the state officials to see if we can start taxing property taxes for churches and nonprofits," Bowles said.
That's the kind of logic Martin insists will be counterproductive.
"Our morals, our culture," Martin said, "are all being challenged by 'the establishment.'"
Commissioners held their first meeting on the topic this week. The city expects a steady reduction in revenue over the next four years.

Greetings from the PhRMA Annual Meeting
New PhRMA Chairman Bob Hugin Looks to the Future
04.12.13 | By Robert J. Hugin
The past few days have been an excellent reminder of the accomplishments of our organization during the past year under the leadership of Dr. John Lechleiter. We have made important progress in our ongoing mission to protect and expand medical innovation and provide patients with access to disease-altering new therapies. These sessions have also instilled tremendous confidence that we will continue this vital work as we navigate an increasingly challenging policy environment.
As I step into my new role as chairman of PhRMA, I look forward to working with the exceptional leadership of PhRMA and its member companies to create this landscape of innovation that will enable the next great advances in health, economic growth and societal benefit.
Ensuring patient access to treatment and fostering the environment for innovation remain the defining role for our organization in the coming year. By protecting the highly successful Medicare Part D program that has expanded coverage for over 30 million seniors, opposing restrictive policies like the Affordable Care Act's Independent Payment Advisory Board, and importantly, defending intellectual property and the incentives for innovative therapies - we can make certain that patients can benefit from new therapies that are changing the course of many diseases.
Innovation is at the center of our mission this year and every year. We must look to create a broader understanding of a system that works in this country. Intellectual property incentivizes innovation, which leads to new breakthroughs while allowing earlier therapies to move to a new phase as lower-cost generics. Medical innovation has been at the core of advancements in health and economic prosperity over the course of the last century. Through broad access to better medicines, we have decreased the rate of death from infectious disease by 96 percent and increased life expectancy 62 percent in that time. Over the past 50 years, medical innovation can also be attributed to half of all economic growth.
Just think what we can do in the years ahead. A new treatment that delayed the onset of Alzheimer's disease by five years could reduce the number of people with the disease 45 percent by 2050 - saving $447 billion in costs to current programs. Just a one percent decrease in deaths from cancer could generate $500 billion in societal benefit.
With our efforts, these goals can be achieved, but we must preserve and strengthen the environment that allows this medical innovation and patient access to flourish. At this year's annual meeting, I am excited to take the next step with each of you.

CUPERTINO -- The city's flag will fly at half staff Friday at the Cupertino Civic Center to mark the first anniversary of Steve Jobs' death.
"Steve grew up and went to school in Cupertino. As his company and vision grew, so our entire community came to realize we can change the world for the better," Mayor Mark Santoro said in a news release posted on the city website. "Placing our city flag at half staff is a small reminder of the profound and very local impact this man had on our community."
The city flag, which is blue and features a conquistador's helmet, is flown in front of the Cupertino Community Center. It will fly at half-staff from 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Friday.
Jobs died at his Palo Alto home last Oct. 5 due to complications of pancreatic cancer. He was 56. He made his last public appearance at a June 6 Cupertino City Council meeting at the civic center.

Before spending hours on what is bothering me now, I will just be bold and ask for a hint
If in QCad2 I wanted to draw on a template, a single line of code was sufficient app.fileOpen("Vorlage.dxf");
I looked at the files in the script directory, there is of course a "load template" script. I wonder, how to wrap this into a function, that I can call in my own script as convenient as that one. Please share your ideas!
